9-nine-: Episode 4

9-nine-: Episode 4 is the fourth volume in a supernatural mystery series, centered on Noa Yuuki. The story assumes you have played Episodes 1–3, though it can also be enjoyed on its own; each episode has an independent story and focuses on a different heroine.

Story

The series takes place in the college town of Shiromitsugawa. An earthquake at the Shrine of the White Serpent breaks a sacred artifact and releases jewelry-like items called Artifacts from a parallel world. Each Artifact grants its holder a special power. When an incident involving power beyond human comprehension occurs, protagonist Kakeru Niimi investigates several parallel-world branches to resolve it.

With the mastermind behind the conflict revealed, the otherworldly entity Sophitia tells Kakeru to defeat the person pulling the strings and reclaim the Artifacts. He returns to the first day—the day the shrine festival was cancelled because of the earthquake—with memories from every branch, and sets out to resolve the conflict. Noa Yuuki, a justice-minded student from Kuho Girls Academy, has an ability that may be key to defeating the mastermind. Kakeru tells her what happened in the other branches as they uncover why the Artifacts came to this world and confront the user of the Evil Eye. The story follows the young men and women as they face what comes next with otherworldly powers at their fingertips.
