Happy Birthday Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Happy birthday, Captain! Come on, I'll take you to this great tavern I know!
The food and drink is unbeatable, and they always keep a table reserved for the great Detective Barawa!
Ah, but perhaps it'll be a bit boring for someone as young as you...

2

(Captain), so today's your birthday. I invited you to a restaurant last year without remembering what kind of food you like.
But this year will be different! Here's an invitation to a leisure resort! We'll even get a few freebies if we go today!
Hah hah hah! You want to get going, then? To Auguste, the greatest resort destination in the skies!
Ah, I forgot to ask: where are we headed now? Huh, Golonzo Island?
Aw, crud! That's the opposite direction of Auguste! I should've chosen a better time and place...
To think that I'd mess up this year too... But let me say this.
Happy birthday, (Captain)!

3

Happy birthday, (Captain)! I came to talk about my gift to you this year!
Ha-ha-ha! Don't look so nervous! I know I tend to get carried away and turn something big into a big flop...
But I'm keeping it simple and taking you to a fantastic restaurant on this island!
Ha-ha! Don't worry! I've already got a reservation, and there's no mistaking the island like last year.
The check?
Ha-ha! Nothing to worry about there, (Captain)! Just leave that to me!
Just, uh... leave it to me. Ha. Ha-ha-ha...

4

(Captain), I hear it's your birthday! Hurray!
This is a wine produced from the year you were born. It's even got a seal and everything to prove it. Here you—
Wait! I've done it agaaain!
This is exactly the same mistake as last year!
W-well... just drink this when you get older...

5

Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Last year I messed up your present yet again, but this year's gift is A-okay! I promise!
Paid a visit to my favorite watchmaker, and picked up his signature creation for ya. It'll help you whittle away your time from here on out.
As long as you maintain it, it should last you for life! So what do you think? Practical, durable—and most importantly—legally usable by minors!
Hahaha! Well, well! Looks like my intuition was correct!
It only took five years of celebrating your birthday with misguided presents to gather all the hints I needed!
In any case, happy birthday, (Captain)!
Wishing you many more to come!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Hmm? So it's New Year's Day, is it? I guess I had a little too much fun last night with Eugen and the boys. Hah hah hah.
Well, I better get to work. Hah hah. Call it tradition, but I always find myself cleaning my tools the morning after a long New Year's Eve.

2

Yawn... Ah, sorry, Captain. Happy New Year!
Should we get on with the big annual cleanup? I'll work on the pipes.
I worked on the pipes last year too? Well, I figure a big guy like me should really get in there and give 'em a good scrubbing, you know?

3

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hm? Why the puzzled look, (Captain)? Surprised to see me so energetic for the new year?
To tell the truth, I've been waking up and going to bed early to go along with my weight training! Ha-ha-ha!
The key to building muscle is a balanced diet, a good night's rest, and a sweaty workout routine.
Thanks to that, I'm as healthy as a horse no matter how many colds I catch! So you can count on me all year round this year, (Captain)!

4

Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Let's get on it already! Got to go to a shrine for the start of the new year. I've resolved to solve all the mysteries that come my way!
Hm? Why am I so chipper you ask?
Well actually I've been able to keep my New Year's resolution of sleeping and rising early each day!
Because of that, I always have time to clean my pipe bright and early!
Time to wash up and get ready for a new day, (Captain)!
This year sure is looking up! Hahahaha!

5

Yaaaaawn... Ngh, even yawning gives me a headache...
Oh, happy New Year, (Captain).
Hahaha. I was out late last night celebrating with Eugen and the boys. We might've partied a little too hard.
It's been awhile since I've done my customary, New Year's pipe-cleaning.
Huh? What do you mean "it must not be customary if I don't do it every year?"
Yeowch... Sorry, my head is throbbing, and trying to think about anything is enough to make it scream.
Haha, it's already been a year since my last headache that was this bad. Maybe my resolution should be to not make past mistakes.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Unbelievable... Is it Valentine's Day?
I never thought I would get chocolate from you, (Captain).
Even with a mind like mine, I couldn't see that coming! Now I owe you one! Hah hah hah!

2

Yay! Chocolate for me this year too?
Oh, could it be that you... No, wait. I must present the evidence before jumping to the conclusion!
We first met on... But, no, you first heard about me from... No, no, no, but then why did you...
...
I'm at a loss here. I do appreciate the chocolate, though!

3

How incredible... They do say that good things come in threes though...
But to think that I'd get another gift of chocolate from you, (Captain)! This is indeed baffling—a mystery, I'd say!
I still have the empty boxes from the chocolates you gave me last year and the year before... Yes, preserving the evidence is a basic detective skill...
And now with this third box that you've given me, it can only point to one truth... And that is...
...
Lost on me...
Well, mysteries are like finding your way through a maze, so for now I'll happily enjoy these chocolates. Thanks, (Captain)!

4

This is...
This is the fourth time we celebrate! The mysteries of Valentine's Day only seem to grow.
Last year there was a puzzle I couldn't solve, so I asked Sarya.
"How about you try solving something by yourself for once!" is what she told me...
She got so mad, I started shaking in my boots.
But thanks to her, I've made up my mind.
If I can't solve it, it's not worth thinking about!
Which means...
I need the serenity to accept things as they are!
Thank you, (Captain)! I accept this chocolate with an open mouth.

5

It's finally come to this...
The fourth installment of our Valentine's mystery!
And this time I know I'll solve it!
Oh, that's right, it's the fifth installment! Nevertheless, I won't back down!
You see, last year I learned to take things in stride... To see the truth for what it is.
And thus! I've seen that there is no mystery at all!
The facts state that you were the one who's been sending me chocolate, (Captain)! Don't even think about denying it!
Thanks for all the chocolate by the way! I've loved your sweet surprises!

White Day Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Hah hah hah! Today's White Day, (Captain)!
Using my powers of observation, I, the Great Detective Barawa, have determined the perfect gift to thank you for Valentine's Day!
Take it. It's yours!

2

I've observed your behavior over the past year to deduce your likes and dislikes, (Captain)!
And I've figured it all out. What you truly desire is this!
Hah hah hah! No need to thank me. Actually you can consider it as thanks from me.
Huh, a stalker? Me? Impossible. There are holes in that logic!

3

I have finally arrived at an answer, (Captain)! Through a labyrinth of thinking and layer after layer of logic, I have discovered it! Your White Day gift!
I won't have you accuse me of being a stalker like last year! I figured everything out from scratch without any observation necessary!
But seriously, I have no clue if this is the type of thing you'd like. I know I said I did, but I have no confidence whatsoever!
So I'm going to just hurry and give it to you now! Bare witness to what I like to call exhibit A!

4

(Captain), did you like your White Day present last year?
Oh, yeah? You did?
Then, (Captain), here! Have this White Day present too!
It's exactly the same thing that I gave you last year!
I had several ideas when I was thinking about what to get you. I hypothesized and then deduced that you would love this.
My strategy was to get you something you would appreciate this year too!
Hah hah hah! Looks like my detective skills are as sharp as ever!
(Captain), I'm glad I was able to get you something you enjoy.

5

Hmm... This is troubling...
Ah! (Captain)! How long have you been standing there?
Ngh... I guess I've got no choice but to confess...
This year I got you the same White Day gift as last year.
"You shouldn't give the same gift three years in a row."
Sarya told me that last year. Harshly. But the look in her eyes was even more devastating.
So for the past year I was trying to guess what you'd want while observing your conversations and behaviors.
But ultimately I couldn't make up my mind, and now we're back here again.
That's how I ended up getting you the same gift.
However! Mark my words!
Next year I will find you the perfect gift and surpass all your expectations!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes

1

Trick or treat!
If any rotten thief wants to pull a trick on me, they're getting a treat in the form of my fist! Bwahaha!

2

Logic or treat! Tricks won't work on me. If you want candy, then give me a logical explanation!
Huh? What do you mean, "forget it"? Wait, I'm sorry! Please don't go...

3

Logic or treat!
You know, I only came up with that phrase last year on a whim. But it has such a ring to it that it's really grown on me.
So I decided to use it whenever I can this year...
When who should come by but a group of boys in costumes!
Logic or treat, young lads! Now come! Try to outlogic me and steal a treasure of treats! Ha-ha-ha!

4

Logic or treat!
This year hear me roar these words!
Leave the tricks for the Phantom Thief!
As for me, if kids want to take my candy, they will have to use the power of logic.

5

Logic or treat!
Heh heh, looks like my catchphrase spread like wildfire around the local port.
All the trick-or-treaters who approached me used logic instead of tricks to try to get their candy.
However, as you can see from my lack of sweets, it was a complete failure. The riddle the kids came up with was far too difficult.
That's why I've decided to take the problem home and sleep on it. I'll prove to those children there's no problem I can't solve—even if it takes me years!
I'm telling you, the day when the world will cast aside "trick or treat" for "logic or treat" is nigh!
Now, (Captain), if you want the last of my candy, hit me with your best logic puzzle!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Oh, has the holiday season come again? When I was in the military we always made sure to observe this time of year.
There's a story from the War about how they called a ceasefire in the middle of battle just for this day.
Ever since then it's been a rule in the military that everyone has to observe this time of year.

2

The holiday season always reminds me of that ghastly incident.
It all happened when I first started as a detective. For the first time ever, I accused someone of being a criminal...
But that man was innocent. Moreover, since I was never formally hired to look into the case, I was kicked out for sticking my nose where it didn't belong.
That was a night to learn from...

3

Happy holidays, (Captain)! I've got another present for you this year.
Heh-heh... It's an object I came across while at a certain antique store. Isn't it strange?
It looks like a person from one angle and a beast from another... Can you figure out the purpose for making one of these, (Captain)?
Truth is... I'm not even sure.
But on silent nights like these, just using your brain to solve mystical puzzles is a holiday present in and itself, no?
Well... I mean, uh... that's what I think at least!

4

Thaaat dastaaard!
(Captain), lend me an ear!
This morning I woke up and on my nightstand was this note!
I thank you for your present this holiest of nights. Here is a small token of my appreciation.
After reading this letter, I opened the box!
Look at this! A little doll with it's tongue sticking out came popping out for goodness sake!
That dastaaard!
I was saving that pudding for a special occasion! This will not stand!

5

(Captain), how about a present to celebrate the occasion?
You want one right? Of course you do! Hahaha! I knew you'd say that, so I prepared one for you!
But first you'll have to match wits with me. A word of warning: this is going to be a toughie.
Hah. Don't give me that look. It's just a bit of fun. Rewards always feel better at the end of a challenge.
Let's start... I've been crafting this little ditty for over a year now. Let's see if you can solve its hidden meaning.
"Armor is not scary. Rosey wards stop warrior tears." Your hint is no WORRYWARTS!
I'll give you sixty seconds to solve it, staaarting now! Ooone...
Agh! You solved it already! How did you know it was "minced pie"?
Hahaha! I should've expected you'd get it so quickly.
Well, just as I promised, here's your gift! Minced pie, fresh from the bakery!
I'm so happy you destroyed my puzzle! Truly! That year I spent working on it was worth it! Hah-hahaha!

Great Detective Essentials

A client is unable to pay his bill and instead offers Barawa an antique of his choosing. Sarya is dumbfounded at Barawa for accepting it, but all is forgotten when the Phantom Thief's letter arrives.



Days before the Phantom Thief incident in Auguste...
Barawa reports his findings to a client who runs an antique shop in town.
Barawa: Yes, that's right. Missing person cases require both great insight and great tenacity.
Barawa: Kidnappings, accidents, runaways...
After considering all the possibilities, I devise the optimal course of action.
Shopkeeper: Hmm, I see... But what about my little cutie?
Barawa: Hah hah hah. Fear not! I have rescued her from the nefarious underground sewers.
Barawa: You can come out now.
Cat: Meow.
Shopkeeper: Oh, my sweet kitten! I'm so glad you're okay. Thank you, Detective!
Barawa: Hah hah hah. With my brain and Buddy's nose, we found your kitty in no time!
Buddy: Woof!
Cat: Meow.
Shopkeeper: She's really taken a liking to you two. Thanks for your help too, Buddy!
Barawa: Case closed! We'll be taking our leave then.
Shopkeeper: Thank you so much. Now, about payment...
Barawa: Oops! I almost forgot about that. Hah hah hah.
Shopkeeper: I'm so sorry to say this, but my wife is in the hospital with a back injury.
Shopkeeper: And with the medical expenses amounting to a small fortune, I was hoping I could have a little more time to pay you back.
Barawa: I'm sorry to hear that. I'd be glad to give you more time, but how long were you thinking?
Shopkeeper: I'm sure I can pay you back by early fall. I'll be receiving a lump sum payment around that time.
Barawa: Fall? Mm-hmm...
Barawa: Fall is fine. Don't worry too much about it. You could even pay me back during the winter. Hah hah hah.
Barawa: Oops. Sorry, Buddy. Looks like I forgot your breakfast.
Buddy: Woof?
Shopkeeper: Um, come to think it... Would you be willing to accept antiques as payment?
Barawa: Antiques? From this shop?
Shopkeeper: Yes, does anything catch your fancy?
Barawa: Truth be told, I'm not really interested in—
Barawa: Hmm?
Barawa: Hey, what's that hanging over there!
Hours later, Sarya, who was tending to a separate matter, comes to meet up with Barawa.
It's been a while since her last assignment from the antique dealer, and with payday coming up, Sarya couldn't be happier.
Sarya: I'm pretty sure this is the right spot... Where could he be?
Sarya: Hehe. It's been so long since I got paid. Maybe this time I'll buy a new swimsuit.
Barawa: Sarya, over here!
Sarya: Detective!
Um, Detective?
Barawa: Hah hah hah, how were things on your end?
Sarya: Umm, what exactly is that thing?
Barawa: Pretty neat, huh? It was practically waiting for me at the antique dealer's shop.
Barawa ecstatically shows off the antique, patting it proudly.
Sarya: Uh, sure, it's pretty neat. But what exactly is it?
Barawa: No idea. Not even the dealer knew.
Sarya: Well, for one thing, it looks really heavy and it's got wheels attached to it.
Barawa: It's not too bad. I did carry it all the way here by myself, you know.
Barawa: Hah hah hah. My instincts as a detective tell me we absolutely need this object!
Sarya: Well, hey, it's your money!
Sarya: Anyway, can I get my pay now? I've been wanting to buy a new swimsuit for some time now!
Barawa: I was paid in antiques, as in this object right here.
Sarya: Didn't you get paid in rupies? And then use rupies to buy the antique?
Barawa: Actually, I got this instead of rupies.
Sarya: You have got to be kidding me! Are you saying my pay's part of that bizarre object?
Barawa: Hah hah hah! Calm down now, Sarya. An honorable detective lives a humble life. Besides, you did say it's pretty neat.
Sarya: Detective, we can't even afford to eat! There's nothing honorable about that!
Barawa: Mm... But this is an essential item for any good det—
Sarya: Ugh, never mind that swimsuit. At this rate, I'll have to dip into my savings.
Barawa: Urgh... I'm really sorry about this. I promise to pay you in due time.
Barawa: ...
Sarya: Oh right. We have to get you fed first before worrying about my pay.
Barawa: My powers of deduction tell me I haven't eaten in three days.
Barawa: And with no other jobs in sight, things do not bode well.
Townsman: Hey, did you hear about that incident in Auguste?
Townswoman: Yeah, the Phantom Thief's letter is the talk of the town. Maybe we should go take a look.
Barawa: Hm? The Phantom Thief's letter?
Sarya: Detective, this is no time to be down in the dumps.
Barawa: Right, no time like the present. Book our travel at once, Sarya!
Sarya: Okay! All a detective needs are phantom thieves and mysterious incidents, anyway!
Barawa: That's right! I'm coming for you, Phantom Thief Chat Noir!
The investigative duo once again sets out in search of the Phantom Thief.
Hunger, poverty—no matter the crisis confronting him on a personal level, Barawa will do everything he can to solve a case.

Case of the Rightful Owner

The first client at the new branch office asks Barawa to seek out his little brother's missing axe. Barawa fails to see the mystery in such a case but accepts it anyway after the crew urges him on.



Days after the incident in Auguste, the crew stops by a nearby island.
Having no other plans, Barawa tags along. But for some reason, he is found remodeling a room inside the Grandcypher.
Barawa: So I'll put the table here, and... Okay, that should do it!
Vyrn: Hey, hey, Barawa. What are you doing remodeling the room?
Barawa: Hah hah hah. This'll be my branch office. I'll take on cases here too.
Lyria: Hm, but do you think people will come if you just wait inside the ship?
Barawa: That won't be a problem. With Sarya handing out fliers in town, I'll have clients lined up in no time!
Barawa: After all, I'm the great detective who cornered the Phantom Thief and foiled his master's plans!
Rackam: Hey, you guys have a sec?
What the? What in the skies have you done to this room?
Barawa: Welcome, Rackam. You're my first client at this office. Since I'm such a good friend, I'll do the first job for free.
Rackam: Huh? I just came by for some spare floorboards. I thought there were a few laying around here.
Barawa: Floorboards? I used them all to make this table.
Rackam: Geez, gimme a break... I guess I'll just have to pick some up in town.
Vyrn: Oh boy, you really did it this time.
Barawa: Urgh... I admit I'm at fault here. But no worries, I'll make up for it later.
Katalina: Hi, Barawa. Do you have a have a minute? I have a favor to ask.
Barawa: Ah, a real client! Good timing, Katalina!
Katalina: About next week's cleanup duty, is there any chance we could trade places?
Barawa: Cleanup duty?
Katalina: Yes. Some on the crew asked me if I could train them. It's okay if you're busy though.
Barawa: Leave it to me. Luckily for you, I don't have any jobs lined up for next week.
Katalina: Thank you, I owe you one.
Lyria: Ahaha, I guess she wasn't exactly a client either.
Barawa: Well, I only just opened up this office.
Sarya: Detective, I think we have a real client this time!
Client: Uh, hello. I've heard rumors of the great Barawa, and there's something I'd like to ask him to do.
Barawa: Wow, rumors about me? Surely about how I cracked the case of the mysterious code? Or was it about the unsolvable locked-room mystery?
Client: Huh? Um, actually, I lost my axe in the mountains, and I was hoping you could retrieve it for me.
Barawa: Axe-searching in the mountains? Let me guess... The terrain is really complex and difficult to navigate?
Client: Not really. It's a typical mountain. I can't go myself with these injuries, and it's a really heavy axe, so...
Barawa: Where's the mystery in this case?
Client: Huh? Um, well, I heard rumors of your physical strength, and I figured that would come in really handy now.
Barawa: Physical strength?
Sarya: Sorry, I should've asked about the details first...
Barawa: Why?
Barawa: Why don't any mystery cases come my way? I'm the detective that cornered the Phantom Thief!
Vyrn: Well, searching for missing items is all in a day's work for a detective, right?
Lyria: That's right. Why not just take on the job for now?
Client: I would really appreciate it. The axe is really important to my little brother.
Barawa: Hmm...
Sarya: Detective, why not think of it as a chance to spread word of our new office?
Barawa: You're right. We should take this one step at a time. Besides, I can't turn down a person in need.
Barawa: All right, I'll do it. You just need your little brother's axe back, right?
Client: Thank you so much!
Barawa: Leave it to me!
Prepare for a trek through the mountains, everyone!
Vyrn: Huh? Us too?
Barawa: Of course. The crew and my agency are in a business partnership after all.
Lyria: Ahahaha... Really?
Sarya: My apologies. Barawa seems to have taken a liking to the idea of a business partnership. But really, we should be thankful we can even set up shop here.
Barawa: Hah hah hah. Let the investigation begin!

Case of the Rightful Owner: Scene 2

When the crew finds the missing axe, a man with a face identical to the client shows up. Barawa is thrown for a loop when the man claims not to be his twin.



When the crew goes searching for the missing axe in the mountains, something catches Vyrn's attention.
Vyrn: Huh? Hey, look! Isn't that the axe?
Lyria: We did it! That has to be it!
Barawa: Nice job, Vyrn. Why, talk about an impressive-looking axe!
Sarya: Yeah, the craftsmanship on this is really something. The client did say it's really important—
Mysterious Man: You thieves! Drop the axe and get lost!
Barawa: Who do you think you're calling a thief? Identify yourself!
Mysterious Man: Agh! The axe is mine, so give it back already!
Sarya: Detective, something's not right. His face looks identical to our client.
Barawa: Hm? Now that you mention it...
Barawa: Ah, I get it now! You must be our client's twin brother, and I wager this axe is yours?
Mysterious Man: Huh? Don't go around calling me someone's twin brother! That axe belongs to my older brother!
Lyria: Hm? They look identical, but they're not twins?
Vyrn: The client said the axe belongs to his little brother, but this guy's saying the axe belongs to his big brother?
Sarya: Hehe. I get it now.
Barawa: It's a mystery!
Barawa: A valuable axe and a paradox. Put two and two together, and you'll see that someone is spouting lies to strike it rich!
Barawa: Hah hah hah. Looks like a job for yours truly! I'll tell you who the axe really belongs to!
Sarya: Uh, Detective, I think we already have it figured out...
Barawa: Let's take a closer look at the evidence. Sarya, magnifying glass please!
Mysterious Man: Umm... I'm sorry for mistaking you for thieves. Your client was probably—
Barawa: Zip it; you're a suspect in this case. We can't have any bias in the initial investigation... I'll be cross-examining you later.
Barawa: Oh my, the scars on the handle... It can't be...
Vyrn: Hey, hey, Barawa, how much more time do you think you'll need? Still don't have an answer yet?
Barawa: Wait, I have an idea...
Lyria: Umm, why don't we go back to the Grandcypher and try asking the client—
Barawa: I've almost got this!
Mysterious Man: I'm sorry. It's all my fault. This wouldn't be happening if I had approached you normally.
Sarya: It's okay. This is our first job after opening the branch office, and Barawa's just a little excited.
Barawa: Aha! It's all coming together now! Captain, can you hold the axe sideways?
Sarya: Huh? What are you going to do with the axe?
Barawa: Break it in half.
Vyrn: Whoa, how is destroying evidence going to help?
Lyria: And let's not forget the axe is supposed to be really important!
Barawa: I understand the concern, but we'll never get anywhere at this rate.
Vyrn: But we will be getting somewhere if we just go back to the ship and have the two guys talk.
Barawa: Absolutely not! The next tragedy will occur if that comes to pass... Or maybe not.
Lyria: Um, what do you mean by the next tragedy? Nothing's happened yet.
Barawa: I mean, in a manner of speaking. I have to solve this case by myself, or we'll have trouble pulling in new clients to the branch office. Until then, don't expect me to budge.
Barawa: ...
Barawa: This mystery has me stuck.
Monster: Groaar!
Sarya: Eek! Detective, it's a monster!
Barawa: Monsters? Looks like I might have to budge after all. Let's do this, Captain!

Case of the Rightful Owner: Scene 3

The crew return to the Grandcypher to confirm details and discover they're dealing with triplets. But when a fourth identical-looking man arrives, Barawa is once again left confounded.



The crew defeats the monsters and returns to the Grandcypher to ascertain the facts of the case.
There, they find both the client and the supposed owner of the axe.
First Son: Bwahaha! Forgive me, everyone! It looks my little brothers caused you quite the trouble.
Third Son: Look who's talking! If you guys put out a request, you should've told me!
Second Son: I'm at fault here. I was in such a panic that I didn't explain myself clearly...
Sarya: It's just as I thought... No apologies needed, though. We're just glad the axe is back with its rightful owner!
Lyria: Umm, the three of them look identical. How is that possible?
Sarya: Hehe. Everything our client and the man in the mountains said is true.
Sarya: Simply put, the axe belongs to the second son.
Vyrn: I get it now! If the client is the little brother, and that guy's the big brother... It only makes sense if there's another brother in between!
Barawa: Hah hah hah, the case is closed! You could say our client this time was actually all three brothers!
First Son: Says who?
Second Son: Bwahaha! Looks like the detective is still confused.
Third Son: C'mon now, let's not make things more complicated than they already are.
Barawa: Huh? Are you saying the client is someone else?
Fourth Son: Hey, did you guys find the axe yet?
Sarya: Oh, I see now! They're actually quadruplets!
Vyrn: Haha, you guys sure threw me for a loop.
Lyria: Wow! Quadruplets aren't something you see very often.
Barawa: Quadruplets? That means these brothers are...
Barawa: It can only mean one thing!
Barawa: The axe belongs to the younger, or rather the older brother. But our clients are actually twins, or should I say quadruplets? And now that we know they're not really triplets...
Barawa: The mysteries keep piling atop each other!
Sarya: Um, Detective? The axe belongs to the second son. The fact that they're quadruplets is irrelevant...
Barawa: Aha, I've figured it out! One of them must be the Phantom Thief in disguise! Captain, it's time to cross-examine them!
Sarya: Detective!
Vyrn: Oh no, now you're just creating more mysteries...
Lyria: Ahaha, this is Barawa hard at work!
Barawa manages to solve the first case at his Grandcypher branch office.
True to his calling, Barawa steps forward in search of the next mystery despite the crew's resignations.
