Story
Yoko informs the player that the researchers of Nanto Labs built machinery in the Digital Kami Shrine, and that the kami became angry and stopped it from working. Yoko would rather solve this problem without involving Dr. Sasaya, her boss, so she asks the player to assist the researchers by speaking to the Hermit priest. Since having an argument with the big man of Miyako Village, the Priest has become a hermit, and she usually roams the Pillars of Highabove.

The Hermit wants to be left alone to meditate, but will consent to speak to the player about the shrine. She claims that the shrine itself never held any true power, and that the shrine's power actually came from the spirits of Cipanku until the researchers meddled with it. By bringing Temtem to the shrine, they inadvertantly caused a turf war. To appease the spirits, an offering of sake and a show of goodwill is needed.

After collecting the Barrel of Sake (who knew the spirits needed a whole barrel?) from the Hashimoto Ryokan's Master, who expresses his concerns that the player is underage, the player brings the offering to the shrine in order to appease the spirits. The player hands the Barrel of Sake to Yoko and then proceeds to battle the researchers in the shrine to honor the spirits and introduce them to their new Digital friends.

With the spirits appeased by the battles, the player informs Yoko that the power of the shrine has been once again restored. All in a day's work!
