Story

Last time you assisted the Master of the Cathedral of Shadows, you helped him investigate Soul Shards to compare with the Suginami Tunnels Bronze plate. Since then, the Master has continued his study of the Plate, and has requested you to help him create a Plate of his own design.

You seek out the item and demon he asks of you, which he uses to craft a Gray Suginami Tunnels plate. With this plate, you head to Suginami Tunnels and travel to the heart of the dungeon, where you find that young child Innocent that you saw in the Home III Service Entrance. She runs into an Andras who seems to recognize her, but your presence interrupts him and he turns his aggression on you.

Before you can land the killing blow, the Innocent child intervenes and protects Andras, who escapes. You take the Innocent back to Snakeman, where she introduces herself as Azura. Though briefly astonished, Snakeman takes Azura in and turns to you to inform you that all further exploration of Suginami Tunnels wil be done by advanced DBs from the Commune. The news greatly disappoints you, but Snakeman comforts you. After all, he has another job lined up for you...
