This book is over here... then those ten should go there... the twenty-seven here should be up there...
"Why are there so many books in this place?!!" - Noire
Phew. I was gonna explode if she didn’t.
We’re currently sorting out books in one of the biggest libraries I’ve ever seen! And I should know. I own one myself.
"You sure we gotta do this?" - Garami
"Of course. Master Managand is... was one of the most organized persons I have ever known. If he knew that his library was this disorganized, then he would be the one haunting this mansion, not ." - Jeeves
As for why we’re here, it’s because this butler/hunting dog followed the trail to a new clue. It led us to this library, which also acts as a Safe Area. Then Jeeves noticed that the bookshelves were not in order and deduced that they must be the key to entering the next area that’s currently closed behind sothing strangely familiar to the Puzzle Gate I use in my Dungeon.
But if this is just that stupid butler’s idea to get us to clean this place, I’m gonna make Noire send him to the afterlife and beyond.
"Grr, just as one would expect from a guy who traps people in his mansion. His library is as ssed up as his head!" - Noire
"Now, calm down. I would like to inform you that master Managand was an orderly personage. He even rewrote several books about monsterology to weed out potential mistakes in the works of the past, just to make sure no one would make a fatal blunder." - Jeeves
"He sure turned into a rotten apple after he died." - Garami
"Yes... I have to agree to that. Rather, I am so shocked over this event that I would have died if I weren’t already dead. My master, dragging innocent people into a battle for their life, just to solve the mystery of his death?" - Jeeves
The butler looked depressed while he was talking. Now that he ntions it, why did the forr owner of this place do such a thing? If he wanted people to find out about his murder, then turning the mansion into a Dungeon would just make it more difficult to discover the truth. Or at least not expanding the place, plus not putting ghost guards around every corner. The Quest alone would be enough. Strange...
While I was thinking, Polaris placed the last book into place. A light pattern started to erge from the rows we had sorted. The light intertwined with each other and then pointed towards the locked door. You wouldn’t need to be a detective to guess what’s happening now!
*Click*
Yup, open doors at twelve o’clock! Let’s go!
The next area turned out to be a... Wakoku-styled garden, I guess? Lots of bamboo plants, plus one of those old shacks you see in samurai movies. There’s even a pond with carp swimming and jumping around.
"That is strange. I don’t rember planting any bamboo in the garden." - Jeeves
"Then it’s a new room like the casino. Great work Jeeves. We would never have discovered that without you." - Noire
Tone down the sarcasm and start looking. The clue should be...
"Excuse , you got any idea who’s staying in this place?" - Garami
"No, why would I?" - Jeeves
"Co on, you could try to guess at least. That Belle-girl that Noire acted as used to be a gambler or sothing, didn’t she? And the other four... who were they again? You said they were the guests of the master’s birthday party or sothing?" - Garami
"Ah, yes. We had plans for the most fantastic costu party to celebrate the master. As a professor in monsterology, costu parties were his favorites." - Jeeves
"And that gambler-woman must have had plans to dress up as a bunny girl... though, that was taken care of by Noire, unfortunately." - Garami
"Be quiet! ...oh, I get it now! You are trying to say that the other invited could have planned to dress up as sothing related to their occupations?" - Noire
"It’s just a hypothesis, but yes. What do you think, Jeeves?" - Garami
"If I have to rely on my past knowledge, then I would say you are correct. The master loved to talk about everyone’s experiences and adventures, so it beca a tradition for them to dress as in their stories." - Jeeves
"Cool. Then, were there any locals invited? From the west on this continent. - Garami
"Yes, that’s right. This room must host your friend who is playing the role of Yamatai Datemon, the younger brother of the current emperor... at that ti." - Jeeves
"...Have you ever heard about him?" - Garami
"Wait, wait! ...yes. He lived 500 years ago and helped his brother by keeping monsters away from the villages. He’s the forefather of the samurai that protects Wakoku in the present." - Noire
"Really? I am glad he turned into such a success." - Jeeves
If he’s the culprit, then we’ve got a lot of rewriting to do in the history books... hmm... soone important enough to invite the younger brother of a forr emperor isn’t morable enough to be rembered by the friend of the current one? Sothing’s way too fishy here.
"And if I rember correctly, Datemon loved collecting swords. Does that help?" - Jeeves
...We’re screwed.
