Seija Quest 4

> "...I guess that makes sense."
> "Well, alright, since you know as much as you do already, I'll let you in on a little somethin'. Don't go spreading this, though."
> Take on a quieter tone and get a little closer.
> "That statue is actually Yakumo herself. Someone did that to her."

> Take on a quieter tone and get a little closer.
> "That statue is actually Yakumo herself. Someone did that to her."

> You can see the color drain from her face as you reveal the statue's secret. She probably considered it, but that's different from hearing your suspicions be confirmed.
> "How did Yakumo of all people fall prey to this?" She questions.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Not sure. But we have reason to believe it was done to sabotage the current mayor's re-election campaign."

[Tom]

> "Not sure. But we have reason to believe it was done to sabotage the current mayor's re-election campaign."

> "But why? Akyuu has been so supportive over the last few years, especially with small stores like the one I run." Kogasa explains.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Maybe one of her opponents, or one of their supporters. really wants to win."

[Tom]

> "Maybe one of her opponents, or one of their supporters. really wants to win."

> "Rinnosuke and Mamizou also own shops, and Unshou runs a small practice in the village as well..." she comments.
> In thought she nods "Maybe you should look deeper into which of their supporters stand to gain the most from their success."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Are there any obvious ones? I'm not really up-to-date on village politics, you see."

[Tom]

> "Are there any obvious ones? I'm not really up-to-date on village politics, you see."

> "I too only know the candidates, not their supporters." she admits.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm. And how soon is the election?"

[Tom]

> "Mmm. And how soon is the election?"

> She looks at the calendar "In- five days!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Look elsewhere.
> "Iris, is that our time limit for this nonsense?"

[Tom]

> Look elsewhere.
> "Iris, is that our time limit for this nonsense?"

> With a skip and a jump Iris hops into the store, announcing "Correct!" before dashing out.
> Kogasa raises an eyebrow.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Don't worry about that. Anyway, that's all very good to know, thanks."

[Tom]

> "Don't worry about that. Anyway, that's all very good to know, thanks."

> "Thanks for stopping by!" she waves.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Of course, and thank you for your study of my sword."
> Speaking of, take it if it's still on the table.
> "When do you get off work, anyway? I could probably get you a chance to study the statue up close some more if you wanted one."

[Tom]

> "Of course, and thank you for your study of my sword."
> Speaking of, take it if it's still on the table.
> "When do you get off work, anyway? I could probably get you a chance to study the statue up close some more if you wanted one."

> You obtain: 'Excalibur' (?): You've been led to believe this is the sword of legends far away.
> She glances at a mechanical clock on a shelf "At sunset... in less than a half hour. Though, I'm not sure what else there I'll be able to discover as a metallurgist."
> Recalling something she adds "While looking into your sword I came across descriptions of another legend from far away, a supposed recipe for turning lead to gold. Sounds like a tall tale to me as a smith, but there's always a little truth in legends right?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh. Maybe something similar was employed here, then? Obviously Yakumo's not made of lead, but."

[Tom]

> "Huh. Maybe something similar was employed here, then? Obviously Yakumo's not made of lead, but."

> "Maybe something worth asking miss Patchouli about?" she comments before returning to measuring out some small mechanical parts.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, is she around?"

[Tom]

> "Oh, is she around?"

> "She was around earlier, but I think she retired for the night."

[Kilgamayan]

> We probably can't get to the vampire mansion and back in half an hour, can we?

[Tom]

> We probably can't get to the vampire mansion and back in half an hour, can we?

> What's that thing Shinmyoumaru says when she's tired? Why do today what you can do tomorrow!

[Kilgamayan]

> "Damn. I'll have to check with her tomorrow."

[Tom]

> "Damn. I'll have to check with her tomorrow."

> "Hopefully she either has answers or can point you in the right direction!"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Hopefully. Though, all that aside, we'd still be glad to have you stop by for a visit, at least."

[Tom]

> "Hopefully. Though, all that aside, we'd still be glad to have you stop by for a visit, at least."

> "I could make a trip after closing for lunch, but it'll have to be short!" Kogasa explains.

[Kilgamayan]

> Wait, what time of day is it, again?

[Tom]

> Wait, what time of day is it, again?

> When you discussed with Sanae to meet at Kourindou before it closes, you reckon you had a little under an hour of daylight left. Much of the day must've passed while you were knocked out.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Bit of a late lunch, huh?"
