Open-World Dialogue
The Day of Brilliant Wishes
Hugo Vlad appears as "Blond Man"
- (Talk to Blond Man)
- Blond Man: Robin, who are they?
- Robin: No idea.
- Astra Yao: We forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is...
- Blond Man: Um... Let me see... You're Robin's opponents for today, aren't you?
- Robin: Ehn-ne?!
You're speaking in Bangboo!- Robin: Ahem... I'm just a little surprised. I didn't think my opponent would seek me out... Are you here to leave me with a taunt? In that case, I accept the challenge.
- Blond Man: This Bangboo is named Eous, right? It looks so plain when it isn't on the stage, but I remember its charm...
- Blond Man: Is the sudden appearance change on the stage meant to hide something?
Well, what about those who don't reveal their name?- Are they trying to hide something?
- Blond Man: I'm Robin's partner. Would this introduction suffice?
- Blond Man: Do you perhaps have another identity besides Eous's partner?
- Blond Man: Very humorous. This is the only identity we need on the Starloop stage.
- Astra Yao: You two are weird. Why are you talking in riddles?
- Blond Man: Hah, is this lady trying to declare her true identity?
- Astra smiles at the blonde man's friendly jibe and removes her sunglasses.
- Astra Yao: I'm Astra Yao, and what about that?
- Blond Man: ...
- Blond Man: You are indeed charming.
- Astra Yao: I know there's no need to pretend anymore, and someone like you wouldn't be ignorant about my identity.
- Even an ordinary person...
- Would realize...
- Astra Yao: Don... [sic]Stop teasing me! I know that Eve's protection is what allows me to... I... I always thank Eve!
- Blond Man: You two seem close. Could you be her...?
- Companion.
- Blond Man: I see.
- Friend.
- Blond Man: I see.
- Anything is possible.
- Blond Man: Oh...?
- Astra Yao: Alright! Let's talk about something else!
- Blond Man: Certainly. I heard that there was an accident at Miss Yao's concert. Many reports are unclear, but I would love to hear what those present have to say about it.
- Why are you so interested?
- Blond Man: Hmm... I'm a collector. Many collectibles and artworks are valuable not because of what they are, but priceless due to the stories they contain.
- Blond Man: On that day, Starloop Tower was almost reduced to ashes. I'm very interested in such exorbitant stories.
- You glance at Astra. She doesn't seem to mind. You briefly recount the incident at Starloop to the blonde man.
- Blond Man: So, Miss Yao used her voice to control the Harmonic Core and saved everyone?
- Astra Yao: Not just my voice, but the voices of everyone! Hemiola's resonance efficiency is superb, but just my voice alone couldn't have stopped the disaster.
- Blond Man: Hemiola?
- Astra Yao: It's my mic — I had it custom-made, and Joran's Legacy is stored in it now. Hmm... Perhaps this mic would be a collectible like the ones you spoke of in many years.
- Blond Man: Oh? Would you mind if I took a look? The custom-made microphone of Ridu's Queen — I've never seen such a treasure.
- Astra takes out Hemiola and hands it to the blonde man who has put on gloves. After scrutinizing it, he returns the microphone to Astra.
- Blond Man: Very impressive. It deserves to be treasured like a queen's jeweled crown... but I hope something so precious to its owner will never end up in the hands of those who don't deserve it.
- Blond Man: Thank you, Miss Yao. I apologize for taking up so much of your time. I should prepare for the competition with Robin.
- The blonde man gives you a nod and leaves with Robin...
- Astra Yao: A strange person... but I doubt he's a bad person.
- Astra Yao: When you were talking about the concert, he said it was a horrifying event, but he didn't look the slightest bit horrified!
- I guess that's the nature of royalty.
- Overly-Polite Guy
- Astra Yao: But he was right about one thing. It's time to prepare for the competition...
- Astra Yao: Hmm, no problem! Eous will definitely win!

- Hugo: Ah well, I suppose that's just how life goes. One minute we were dancing with death, and next thing we know is here we are, leisurely enjoying the sea breeze.
- Vivian: Uh, what did you just say?
- Hugo: I know you came here because you heard the Manager was around, but that doesn't mean you have to completely tune me out.
- Vivian: You don't get it — the higher you stand, the further you can see. Talking to you made me forget to check things downstairs.
- (Hey you two, long time no see.Hey you two, long time no see. /
Vivian, Hugo, long time no see...Vivian, Hugo, long time no see...) - Vivian: Ahhhhhh! Lord Phaethon!!
- Hugo: Hi, Manager. Here, let me translate for you. "Ahhhh" means "Oh my gosh! What are you doing here!"
- Vivian: Oh, stop it, Hugo! Shut up!!
- Hugo: Alright, alright. I'll just be quiet and enjoy the view.

- (Talk to Hugo)
- Hugo: Well well, look who it is — Lycaon. What are the odds?
- Hugo: Work at Victoria Housekeeping must be forgiving for you to actually have time to shop.
- Lycaon: We have fair shifts and today is my day off.
- Hugo: So, on your day off, you’re here to dig the sandpit?
- Lycaon: No. But if you would like to, be my guest.
- Hugo: ...
- (Step in to join the conversation)
- Hugo: Manager! You’re a sight for sore eyes.
- Hugo: I was just about to witness the horror of our friend here digging into the sandpit.
- Lycaon: ...I wasn’t planning on doing that.
- Hugo: Really? I recall someone who specifically loved rolling around in the sand all day and covering himself with it.
- Hugo: He even built a giant wolf head out of sand... Talk about having sand for brains.
- Lycaon: Forgive me, but I think the person who made a crown out of sand has bigger problems.
- Can you two quit bickering?
- Hugo: Since Manager’s asking, I’ll play along.
- Lycaon: ...I never wanted to start anything. Master, you saw it too. He made the first move.
- Hugo: Yes, the first move. I moved my lips.
- How about you two build something now? Just for fun.
- Lycaon & Hugo: I refuse.
- You two really vibe well together.
- Hugo: Dear Manager, you know such comments don’t exactly boost my mood.
- Hugo: Alright, let’s wrap up this ridiculous chance meeting here.
- Hugo: Though there’s nothing else on my schedule, I shall take my leave now.
- Lycaon: ...Me too. Until next time, Master.
- (Eavesdrop on their conversation)
- Lycaon: This place reminds me of that little hill we used to visit.
- Hugo: Oh, you mean the secret hideout... We really did spend ages there.
- Hugo: I wonder how it’s holding up.
- Lycaon: I checked a few years back. It’s all overgrown now.
- Hugo: I see. Hardly surprising, given how long it’s been.
- Hugo: And that green kiddy ride over there. Remember that gig at Lymecria Hotel?
- Hugo: It looks just like the motorbike you found.
- Lycaon: ...I don’t see any similarities between them apart from having the same color.
- Hugo: They’re similar because neither could run properly? We ended up legging it on foot.
- Lycaon: ...If I remember correctly, I was the one carrying you.
- Hugo: Oh please. You had always been the faster one, I’ll admit.
- Hugo: I was even hoping that you’d turn into a real werewolf and make the big escape on all fours under the moon, with me on your back.
- Lycaon: Sorry to disappoint.
- Hugo: No problem. I forgive you.
- Lycaon: You’d know. I’m actually faster than ever now.
- Lycaon’s words seem to freeze the air between the two in an instant.
Hugo glances down at the butler’s fully mechanized legs. His lips part, but no words escape them. - Lycaon: Don’t give me that look. I don’t think it’s a bad thing.
- Hugo: Suit yourself. They’re not my legs anyway.
- Lycaon: Time heals everything. Slowly, but surely.
- Lycaon: Even you.

- Blond Man: Never thought my target wouldn't show up at the banquet...
- Robin: Don't worry.
- (Talk to Blond Man)
- Blond Man: You think he might've caught wind of something?
- Robin: Could be.
- Robin: There is no need to worry. We shall ultimately be the victors of this game of cat and mouse.
- Blond Man: Certainly, but if I had known, I wouldn't have put in so much effort...
- You're...?
- Hugo: Ah, Manager. It's me, Hugo.
- Hugo...?
- Hugo: As expected of you, Manager. You recognized me easily.
- Hugo: I had to disguise myself today for... certain reasons.
- Robin: It is necessary in order to infiltrate that banquet.
- Robin: So please forgive Hugo for masking his beautiful features with such a dull disguise.
- Hugo: Robin, who taught you to use adjectives like that? Next time, swap "beautiful" for "handsome."
- Robin: Is there something amiss with the word "beautiful"? I see it all over Vivian's novels.
- Hugo: ...Maybe you should read fewer of her novels. They're not good for me.
- Just then, an unexpected Bangboo prances in...
- Butler: Ehn-nhe. (Hello, golden-haired friend. I'm Butler.)
- Butler: Ehn-neh, ehn-ne-ne. (You left this invitation letter behind at the banquet when you rushed off, and my master sent me to deliver it.)
- Wait. Your master...
- You mean Lycaon...
- Hugo: ...So he was there. Was he hiding from me? No wonder...
- Hugo: This... gentle — Bangboo, I'm actually an old acquaintance of your master.
- Hugo: So, did he mention anything about me?
- Butler: Ehn-nhe-ne? (I only caught him talking to himself about something like you changing your fragrance?)
- Hugo: ...Tsk.
- Robin: Ehn-ne, enn-neh-nhe. (It appears Mr. Lycaon is rather concerned about you.)
- Hugo: Which happens to be something I don't need. And why the sudden switch to Bangboo speak?
- Robin: Ehn-ne. (No particular reason. Just a whim of the moment.)
- Hugo: ...Don't tell me it's because of this Bangboo in front of you.
- Robin: Ehn-neh, enn-ne-nhe. (Yes and no. I simply follow my whims, you see.)
- Butler: Ehn-ne? (What do you mean by that...?)
- Robin: Ehn-ne. (Please, worry not. Consider it my way of showing my respect for you.)
- Butler: Ehn-neh, enn-neh-ne. (I see. I appreciate the gesture. But you can speak universal. I can still understand it.)
- For some reason, Robin and Butler end up engaging in a delightful chat that's a bit hard to follow...
Meanwhile, Hugo takes the chance to shed his disguise... - Hugo: Apologies for the spectacle, Manager.
- Hugo: That "invitation letter" Butler brought over? It is actually a "warning letter" I left behind.
- Hugo: Seems Lycaon beat me to the punch this time...
- Hugo: It matters not. I'll make sure to return the favor, and then some.

- Asaba Harumasa: Is something troubling you, citizen?
- Hugo: ...
- (Talk to Hugo)
- Asaba Harumasa: Hey, don't look so tense. You look pale, so I thought I'd ask.
- Hugo: I appreciate the concern, Officer Asaba from Section 6.
- Asaba Harumasa: You know me?
- Hugo: You have a name tag.
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh~ Looks like your eyesight's pretty sharp. Those mismatched eyes definitely standout.
- Hugo: ...Thank you for the compliment.
- Asaba Harumasa: Anytime—
- Asaba Harumasa: But, I actually know you.
- Hugo: Oh, really?
- Asaba Harumasa: You're kinda famous. If I shouted out your name here, I bet a whole squad of PubSec officers would come rushing in.
- Hugo: ...You're not trying to threaten me, are you, Officer Asaba?
- Asaba Harumasa: Me? Nah, I wouldn't go through all that effort~
- Asaba Harumasa: Unless it's a special case, a cat wouldn't bother hunting a bat.
- Asaba Harumasa: Bats might be creatures of darkness, but they do help out humans.
- Hugo: What about birds? Don't cats catch those?
- Asaba Harumasa: Depends on the bird? If it's a songbird... I, at least, wouldn't go after it.
- Asaba Harumasa: Anyway, as someone who is often unwell, I just wanted to tell you that you don't look like you're falling sick.
- Asaba Harumasa: And since you're hanging out by the pharmacy, I guess I'm right, huh?
- Asaba Harumasa: Either way, take care of yourself. Don't be too hard on yourself.
- Hugo: ...
- What are you two talking about? I'm lost here.
- Asaba Harumasa: We weren't talking about anything important, just discussing a recently aired wildlife show~
- The two of you together seems like a recipe for scheming.
- Hugo: You really know how to crack a joke, Manager.
- Asaba Harumasa: Seriously, we were just chatting about that wildlife show~
- Just then, two unexpected people arrive...
- Seth: Asaba? And the Manager...? Well, what do you know? You're both here!
- Lycaon: ...
- How'd you end up here together?
- Lycaon: Just some work stuff.
- Seth: I've got a case involving some of Victoria Housekeeping's recent clients, so I came to Mr. Lycaon looking for some leads.
- Seth: By the way, who's this blonde buddy of yours?
- Hugo: I'm Lighter, an average collector who just so happens to be a friend of the Manager.
- Seth: Oh? Your name is Lighter too?
- Seth: I remember the last Lighter I saw was that guy in a red scarf from the Outer Ring...
- Lycaon: ...Ahem.
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh, come on! Lighter is a name full of light and hope; having more than one person named that is perfectly normal.
- Seth: Ah, that's true...
- Before anyone can say any more, another familiar face barges in...
- Lighter: Are you guys, talking about me?
- The real Lighter has appeared...
- This Lighter and that Lighter...
- Lighter: Oh? So this skinny blonde fella, your name is actually Lighter too?
- Hugo: Indeed, I picked it myself. It carrier hopes and dreams.
- Lighter: Like what?
- Hugo: ..."I'm gonna light up New Eridu."
- Lighter: Now that's a big dream — though you seem more of an ice type than a fire type.
- Asaba Harumasa: Hahaha, you two actually vibe pretty well!
- Asaba Harumasa: Why don't you consider teaming up? With this quiet but mysterious butler, you might just create some magic!
- Hugo: ...
- Hugo: Well then, I didn't expect all of you to be friends of the manager... Unfortunately, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave for now.
- Asaba Harumasa: You don't say. Let's each get back to our own business— I'm only here because I managed to squeeze a bit of time out from my busy schedule.
- This ridiculous encounter is finally wrapping up — how delightful...
- Trust increase with Hugo
- (Idle)
- Hugo: Life sure knows how to keep us on our toes, doesn't it?
- Asaba Harumasa: Wow, look at these people~
- Lighter: Did I stumble into some reunion of old friends?
- (Talk to Hugo again, optional)
- Lycaon: You...
- Hugo: Got something to say?
- Lycaon: ...Nope, nothing at all.
- Hugo: Hmph.
- (Talk to Seth, optional)
- Seth: Asaba, you just said you squeezed this visit into your schedule...
- Seth: Is HSO really that busy? Cause I feel like us folks at PubSec don't have a lot on our plate at the moment... Did all the big cases get thrown your way?
- Asaba Harumasa: ...I wish I could get you to cover my shifts.
- (Talk to Lighter, optional)
- Lighter: You've got a lot of friends, huh?
- (Idle)
- Hugo: ...
- (Talk to Hugo)
- Hugo: Oh, dearest Manager. We meet again.
- Hugo: As you can see, I am observing a pigeon.
- Hugo: Compared to the seagulls at Port Elpis, the pigeons here are much tamer.
- What? Those seagulls snatched your fries, too?
- Hugo: ...Looks like we're both victims of those feathered rascals.
- Hugo: Would you like to guess where the name "Mockingbird" came from, dear Manager?
- Because of the mockingbird's symbolism?
- Hugo: Indeed. There is a saying that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.
- Hugo: But back then, neither I nor... Lycaon, knew about that.
- Maybe it just sounds cool?
- Hugo: Hahaha, you can say that.
- Hugo: At least it's much classier than say, "The Ravenous Wolves" or "King's Domain."
- Hugo: We chose the name because it was funny to us.
- Hugo: Who would've expected the icon of a trouble-making phantom thieves syndicate to be such a harmless little creature?
- Hugo: But honestly, I don't associate myself with the mockingbird.
- Hugo: I'm more of a... bat, I think.
- Hugo: Living in a dark cave, looking terrifying, and surrounded by bloodsucking myths.
- Hugo: Pretty cool, isn't it?
- Hugo: But most importantly... the bat instills fear.
- Hugo: Whether with its looks, or the viruses it carries.
- Do you want to be feared?
- Hugo: For the longest time, I thought being feared was better than being loved.
- Hugo: But in retrospect, I was probably trapped by that way of thinking. Truth is, it doesn't really matter how other see me.
- Hugo: Just like how I had always wanted to win at everything.
- Hugo: But what then? What happens after you've won? The world is just as empty as before.
- Hugo: Winning doesn't bring back the dead, or change what had happened, or return what had been lost.
- Hugo: So... just be a mockingbird.
- Hugo: And sing freely.
- Sounds pretty optimistic.
- Hugo: Thank you. That's exactly what I'm going for.
- Hugo: ...Wow, it's getting late. Sorry for rambling on.
- Hugo: Remember when I said your video store is my most treasured collection?
- Hugo: If you'd like, how about taking in a harmless mockingbird?
- Hugo: It'll sing its heart out for you.
- I'll take it in!
- Hugo: That's perfect~ I'll remember that.
- I'll set it free.
- Hugo: ...Is that so? That does sound like something you'd say.
- Hugo: Then, let us part ways for now amidst this pleasant atmosphere.
- Hugo: Until next time, dearest Manager.
- Trust increase with Hugo
- (Idle)
- Hugo: Do you prefer bats or birds?
- (Talk to Hugo again, optional)
- Hugo: Or... do you prefer this pigeon?
- Hugo: It is pretty cute.

- Vivian: Lies Embrace Hues...? Lies...
- Hugo: ...
- (Talk to Hugo)
- Vivian: This novel... has me in a chokehold! Lilac’s recommendations never go wrong...
- Vivian: The plot twists and that deep friendship blend together like fine wine... Uwaaahh, this book is a gem...!
- Vivian: But what exactly does the title mean? “Lies Embrace Hues”? What’s that...?
- Hugo: Perhaps it’s meant to invoke a sense of disillusionment or acceptance of disaster? With “hue” representing an optimistic and naive fantasy or happiness, eventually revealed to be founded on lies.
- Hugo: Seems like a tragic story...
- Vivian: Huh? But it’s a happy ending!
- Vivian: ...Oh, I see! The male lead’s name has “lie” in it and the supporting male lead’s name has “hue” in it!
- Vivian: Now it makes sense! Hehehe, I’m a total genius~
- Hugo: ...What exactly are you reading?
- Vivian: Uh, just a regular fan... serious novel!
- Hugo: Come on, let me see it.
- Vivian: N—No way. I borrowed it from Lilac! I have to give it back soon...
- Hugo: ...It’s not like I’m going to eat your book.
- Vivian: No means no!
- Hugo: You’re acting very suspiciously, Vivian...
- It’s better if you don’t read it. You’ll regret it.
- Hugo: Manager... you know this novel too?
- Just a hunch.
- I’m an aficionado, after all.
- Hugo: I see. And here I thought...
- Vivian: Um, well, I’ve got plans to go to the mall with Lilac today, so I’m out of here!
- Vivian: See you later, Manager!
- What’s so special about it? Let me have a look.
- Vivian: Ah! Lord... Manager!
- Vivian: If you want to read it... I’ll get you all the copies Lilac has!
- Vivian: Wait just a second. I’ll let you know once I’ve got them!
- Hugo: ...
- Vivian leaves...
- Hugo: ...Do you two know something I don’t?
- No?
- Hugo: That half-baked excuse won’t fool me and you know that, Manager.
- It’s all for your own good...
- Hugo: Clearly, it’s not meant for my benefit.
- Hugo: The character whose name has “hue” in it... It can’t be... me, can it?
- Hugo: And “lie”...
- You’re reading too much into it. It’s just a coincidence!
- Hugo: ...You have a point. After all, it’s impossible for the public to know...
- Hugo: What an annoying coincidence.
- You know Lighter from the Outer Ring?
- Hugo: ...I’ve heard about him, yes.
- Hugo: So, this book is about the Outer Ring, hm?
- Hugo: Well, so be it. It’s no big deal.
- Hugo: I am happy to see you, Manager.
- Hugo: But I have some stuff to handle at my gallery, so... I shall take my leave.
- Hugo: Let’s catch up later.
- Hugo: ...And if you ever want to spill the beans about that novel...
- Hugo: I’m all ears.
- Trust increase with Hugo
- (Idle)
- Hugo: Is that novel... available online?
- (Talk to Hugo again, optional)
- Hugo: Just to be clear, I’m not that invested in the novel.
- Hugo: I’m just a bit curious... That’s all.
- (Idle)
- Hugo: You must be Miss Lilac, right? Pleasure to meet you.
- Lilac: You are...?
- (Talk to Hugo)
- Hugo: Pleasure to meet you. I’m a friend of Vivian’s.
- Lilac: You... look a bit familiar...
- Hugo: Hahaha, that’s probably because I have a rather common face. You could say I’m just... one of the crowd?
- Lilac: No, that’s not quite right. You have a distinctive look, but I can’t quite place it...
- Hugo: Probably just a delightful sense of deja vu. No need to fret over trivialities.
- Hugo: Speaking of which, Vivian’s been diving into some of those novels you recommended to her lately...
- Hugo: I must admit, I’m a bit intrigued — surely, you’re a master in that realm?
- Hugo: So... if it’s not too much trouble, could you share some recommendations?
- Lilac: Oh, you mean those fanfics about Hugo Vlad.
- Hugo: ...
- Lilac: Well, you’ve come to the right person. I’ll whip up a list of my favorites with my reviews~
- Lilac: And on top of that, I’m actually aiming to use him as inspiration to create a comic.
- Hugo: You mean... a character based on Hugo Vlad?
- Lilac: Exactly. Too bad he’s the only member of Mockingbird whose identity is public, though no one’s seen his face yet...
- Lilac: Anyway, for the sake of being able to better express our creativity, we usually take some creative license and add original characters to complete the fantasy.
- Lilac: Right now, the most popular original character in the scene is called “Lighter.”
- Huh?
- There’s really a Lighter in the story?
- Lilac: Good day, Manager. We were just diving into the essence of artistic creativity.
- Lilac: As for why everyone somehow all decided to name Hugo’s partner Lighter... well, it’s all about the name’s meaning.
- Lilac: Hugo is usually portrayed as “the anti-hero wandering alone in the night,” so he needs a character that represents light to act as his foil.
- Lilac: That way, we get this epic clash of light and darkness, which amps up the drama.
- Lilac: The most popular novel in the circle right now is titled “Lies Embrace Hues,” and you can tell by the word “embrace” that it means—
- Hugo: I get the title perfectly well. Let’s just drop it.
- Lilac: Alright, but since Lighter isn’t inspired by anyone in particular like Hugo is, everyone’s got their own spin on it.
- Lilac: If it were up to me, I’d characterize Lighter and Hugo’s relationship as friends to rivals, then back to friends.
- Lilac: And the reason they part ways? It’s because Lighter thinks Hugo has gone astray and wants to rescue him from the abyss!
- Lilac: “My dearest friend and dearest rival... I must save you.”
- Lilac: Oh, what a noble and touching friendship!
- Hugo: ...Isn’t this Mr. Lighter a bit too self-involved? Piling on his one-sided expectations that are, naturally, not going to be met, getting disappointed, and then trying to “save” them...
- Hugo: Not everyone wants “saving,” you know.
- Lilac: Hmm... True. A proud individual like Hugo probably lives by the matra of “only I can destroy myself, and only I can save myself.”
- Lilac: That makes their conflict even juicier... Brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration!
- Hugo: ...
- Lilac: Hehe, with that twist, the whole story could shift toward “the separated of New Eridu.” Now that would be interesting.
- What do you mean by “the separated”?
- Lilac: As in opposite of “partners.”
- That’s a real fanfic alright.
- Lilac: Thank you. It’s just the priceless experience I’ve gathered over the years.
- Lilac: Huh? Er... Mister, you look a bit off. You feeling okay?
- Hugo: ...I’m fine, I just have... a bit of a headache.
- Lilac: Oh, I still don’t know your name.
- Hugo: ...Actually, my name is Lighter.
- Please, can we just forget that name...
- At this point, callbacks aren’t really necessary...
- Hugo: It’s quite the charming name, right?
- Hugo: Well, it’s been a real pleasure talking to you both. Sadly, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll bid you adieu.
- Hugo: I wish you a splendid day.
- Trust increase with Hugo
- (Idle)
- Hugo: Yes, my name is Lighter.
- Lilac: Hmm...
- (Talk to Hugo again, optional)
- Hugo: What if I changed my name now? What do you think?
- Hugo: Just joking, of course.
- Hugo: How do I put this... It’s a kind of love, I suppose? Without love, I don’t think people would bother creating at all.
- Hugo: Anyway, it’s truly an honor to bring joy to your lives.

Hollow Zero: Withered Domain
Help from White Star Institute
Main article: Chance Encounter (Hollow Event)
Requires Trust Rank: Close
- The squad has arrived at a safe spot that can be used as a temporary camp. A group of members from the White Star Institute are preparing to leave Hollow Zero.
- "Are you an Independent Investigation Team? Good work! We're heading back to the outpost. There are some leftover supplies in the camp, so you can have them," said a member of the Institute.
- They left a lot of supplies behind! Seems like they are going to come in handy!
- Accept the offer
- After bidding farewell to the Institute staff, the squad took a short rest at the camp. Among the leftover supplies, you found something that could be of help to the Agent Hugo.
- Receive: (Affinity) The Phantom Thief's Magic ×1
- You have regrouped and rested. All wounded squad members get healed, and all squad members have restored 20% of their Max HP.

Friendly Talk
- Hugo: I'd much rather hang out with all kinds of people than fight monsters I can't even talk to.
- Hugo: After all, there is nothing more complex and interesting than "people" in this world.
- (If Hugo is at Trust Rank: Close and has defeated the previous Boss using a heavy attack)
- Hugo: A little break is good for getting back to work.
- Hugo: Remember what I said? The world needs more people like you.
- Hugo: Can't have my treasured and precious Manager wear (himhim /
herher)self out now, can I? - Receive: (Affinity) The Phantom Thief's Magic ×1
