Demon Guarding the Shrine
Location	Shinjuku Hunter Association
Quest Giver	Great Hunter Hayashida
Reward(s)	Bushi Tasogare x1

"Demon Guarding the Shrine" is a Challenge Quest in Shin Megami Tensei IV.

Overview

This quest is available from the Hunter Association in Shinjuku after completing "The Seat of Government". On the Neutral route, it must be completed as part of "The Great Spirit of Hope", but in other routes, it is completely optional.

If Flynn enters Kanda Shrine while the quest is active, he can choose to tell Okuninushi that he's here to slay him. If he does, then Okuninushi explains that he only attacks humans to punish them for foolish behavior. Since it was humans who destroyed the Field of Autumn Leaves, and they are now attempting to take Kanda Shrine, he decides that all humans are guilty of the same crime, and he will dispense divine punishment here and now. A battle ensues.

After Okuninushi is defeated, the client appears. Flynn mentions the Field of Autumn Leaves, and he realizes that Okuninushi was mad at humans for ruining Akihabara. The client explains that it was entirely the Ashura-kai's fault -- not that it matters, since regardless of what reasons he had to attack humans, they don't have to take it lying down. After that, he gives Flynn the reward, and the quest is completed. Okuninushi also becomes available via Fusion.
