(EQ) Kabukicho Night Festival: Episode 3 - Part 1

*Title card appears, Episode 3: Mysterious Shape*

Tsukuyomi: Ok, this is the last one. Shall we press on, (Player)?

Player: (A) Okay, Tsukuyomi! (B) See no (this is the Japanese way of saying 3, 2, 1 or Ready, set, go) (C) (Push the stone monument)

Together, (Player and Tsukuyomi push the stone monument together. Even though they didn't use that much force, the huge stone monument started to slide. It passes over the two sunken tops and sinks into the sea in front of the castle gate. The vertical stone monuments merged with each other and turned into a bridge.

Tsukuyomi: I see...It's a trick to align the stone monuments when you push them in a certain order.

========================================================================

Player: (A) It was pretty easy (B) I'm glad that you showed me (C) I had no idea what I was doing!

(A) Tsukuyomi: It was amazing, (Player). I was mostly just watching you do it. It seems like you're good at solving these puzzles.

(B) Tsukuyomi: I'm very honored to hear you say that. I'm here to make you shine.

(C) Tsukuyomi: Huh, are you saying that you used your intuition to solve the puzzle? That's amazing. To tell you the truth, I didn't really know how to solve it either. Well, maybe we just got lucky? Ahhhh.

========================================================================

Tsukuyomi: Well, Sphinx Ileto. Now that there's a bridge to cross the river, may we pass now?

Sphinx Ileto: *eyes light up in excitement* Splendid–Yes, go on you guys! You two solved this faster than I expected, I should have made this a harder problem!

Knowing that the puzzle was properly solved, Ileto rejoiced like a child and changed his manner of speaking. Even though they're supposed to be the one to set up the riddles/challenges, he behaves as if he wanted (Player) and the others to solve them.

Sphinx Ileto: As promised, you can freely cross the bridge. Hey, how about you two try another one of my riddles instead?!

Ileto seems to like the two of them, so he tries to get them to solve more riddles. Tsukuyomi and (Player) are perplexed, as they can't sense any malice from the boy that's blocking their way.

Player: (A) Sorry, we're in a hurry (B) Hmm...what to do (C) Maybe, would you like to come with us?

Tsukuyomi: ...Hey? Ileto's body is-

When (Player) was about to answer, Tsukuyomi notices something strange about Ileto. As if blending into the scenery, the body becomes transparent, and the surrounding area begins to shine. However, Ileto himself was completely unaware of this, he was just trying to get (Player)'s and Tsukuyomi's attention.

Sphinx Ileto: I'll make it more challenging this time! I still have more riddles-

Ileto was cut off midway, his body disappearing completely into the light. The light sways in the air for a moment, before flying into the castle.

Tsukuyomi: ...He's gone. He looked like a mayfly.

========================================================================

Player: (A) He disappeared? (B) Was that really Sphinx? (C) I wonder if he was the core of the collision...
