A week before I showed up here in Luceti, Naoya called us up and asked him to meet us in Shibuya. [oh wait] We're from Tokyo. Anyway, when we got there he gave us each one of these. [she taps the COMP on the table.] But it wasn't until later that we found out why.

Naoya's a really amazing programmer... It turns out that he'd been working with a cult called the Shomonkai to build these things. Summoning's supposed to be really complicated, but somehow he worked out how to write a program so that anyone can do it easily. The Shomonkai believed that God was going to send an ordeal and the only way to survive it was to follow this demon they worshipped and summon a lot more demons to fight back.
