Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri
Prologue
S-Sha joins the Gold Third in challenging the Four Goddesses in the exhibition match in the Gamindustri Appreciation Festival. She says that she has no interest in control over Gamindustri. After the Four Goddesses fall at the hands of Gold Third, S-Sha takes over Leanbox but is not interested in domination over the rest of Gamindustri.
Leanbox
S-Sha asks Vert to pull the holy sword to become a soldier. Before Vert does so, she asks her what the things that are serving her. S-Sha introduces Dogoo Man and Dogoo Lady to Vert and asks her to pull the sword. She does and S-Sha congratulates her as the 983067th soldier to do this. She gives Vert 100 credits and hopes that she will be of service to Leanbox.
S-Sha orders Vert later to deal with an outside invader. S-Sha then gets a call from Vert about an explosion coming from where the soldiers are stationed. S-Sha orders her to return but she does not listen. S-Sha then gets to the site of the explosion to find a bunch of pigs. She tells Vert that it was caused by a Demon King who cursed the soldiers into being pigs and tells Vert to return to the Basilicom for a private chat. Vert asks her if she cares that thousands of people were turned into pigs and S-Sha says that she is not interested in Leanbox.
S-Sha waits in the Basilicom and dozes off. A voice tells her that she has failed. S-Sha says she will just find another method. She wakes up and Vert arrives. She asks Vert what took her so long. Vert explains she had to haul thousands of pigs into a random pig pen. S-Sha thanks her and tasks her to capture the Demon King. Vert asks her why and S-Sha does not answer. Vert asks her what will happen if she does not listen and S-Sha says she will have to deal with the consequences this will cause to Leanbox.
A while later, S-Sha orders Vert to deal with an invader that has landed in where the Demon King was resurrected. When Vert arrives on site, she calls S-Sha for info. S-Sha explains that there is just one human invader and that they have defeated all their B-Rank soldiers. She wants Vert to be careful because she is the only one left that can fight. She also tasks Vert to track down the Demon King. After the call, S-Sha is thankful that Vert is such a strong pawn then says that soon, she can save E-Sha.
Vert returns with another girl. Regardless, it looks like Vert has failed. She does give her their findings and jokingly explains that the girl, Nepgear is her sister. Nepgear is the invader she was after. Nepgear wonders if S-Sha is angry at her fighting the soldiers and she says she is not. Nepgear then tries to ask her some questions on the Gold Third but S-Sha does not answer.
Later S-Sha is visited by Arfoire who offers her some help with the plan she is doing. As E-Sha, she also sends Vert and Nepgear a letter telling them to stop S-Sha. Eventually, she finds out the location of the Demon King. She dispatches Vert and Nepgear to handle this. Vert also asks if she can handle the invaders and S-Sha allows her but wonders why as there are no invaders attacking as of late.
The two quickly call her with a successful mission. The Demon King is retrieved and examined by Dogoo Man. S-Sha is willing to reward Vert with anything she wants. Vert wants her nation back and S-Sha allows this. S-Sha is happy as she can now save E-Sha. Dogoo Man then reports that the Demon King is dead and a regular monster. S-Sha asks if it really is a Demon King. Dogoo Man says it is and it is not. S-Sha figures out that the Demon King is just a regular monster.
The voice then talks to S-Sha. She is angry at it as she was lied to. The voice said she did not lie, in her world, the monster was worshiped as a Demon King. S-Sha merely misunderstood her but she gives S-Sha a final chance but the measures are drastic.
S-Sha, Dogoo Man and Dogoo Lady then round up all 1000000 ran-pigs then head over the Golden Summit of Leanbox. She wonders if her sins can be forgiven. The Dogoos asks what is up and she says never mind. She then asks if they really want to help her with this ritual and they say they do. As E-Sha, she sends out text messages telling Vert and Nepgear to stop S-Sha's ritual in the Golden Summit.
The two girls arrive and E-Sha meets them. Despite being shy and silent, E-Sha manages to explain to them her messages and intentions to stop S-Sha. She wants the girls to stop S-Sha and then she disappears.
