After the 3 other Denpa Men have left, the protagonist says "Urrrggghhh... Wait, you saw that through the Nintendo 3DS Camera? Huh, this is the first time you can see us? This is my first time meeting a big human.... Would you please listen to me if you'd like....? Let's talk in a place with no interference! Here, follow me into your Nintendo 3DS!".

Then, the protagonist brings the player to an empty island. The protagonist again talks to the player, saying "Thanks for your help! This is inside your Nintendo 3DS, around the radio waves. There is a race called Denpa Men, they live on your Nintendo 3DS system. I often get poked by them, this is so bad. If I were stronger I wouldn't get bullied... So, if I remember what I heard before, there's some legendary item in this place! Whoever gets the item will gain great strength and can lose to nobody! Haha.... I've got a request for you human... I'm worried alone... I'd be happy if you could help me with my adventure. I'd like to ask you right now. There's a story I'm going to do with a local... He wants me to go underground-".
