The Place That Reveals the Truth
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"The Place That Reveals the Truth"Video Summary: Foreign ruins, but so familiar in memories.
Story Description: Rina realizes Granny Leisha's memory has regressed to 41 years ago, specifically to the day when White Waves Hospital fell and the competition for the Crest of Waves trophy took place. The truth about the "sweetcakes" is on the verge of being unveiled.
- Rina: Preparations complete. I'm ready to begin, dear guide.
Dear guide! I like the sound of that!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Dear guide! I like the sound of that!
- Please, call me Manager.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmmm... I think I'd prefer it if you called me O' Great Manager!
- Rina: Unfortunately, I cannot base my terms of address on personal preference~ Using the correct titles in the right situations is important etiquette at Victoria Housekeeping.
- Rina: Now, let's get back to Granny. Based on our current intel, I'm certain her Cognitive Corruption Syndrome is getting worse...
- Rina: Her memory has already regressed to that day 41 years ago.
- 41 years ago?
- That day?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That day... 41 years ago?
- Rina: Yes, the Miss Metropolitan dropout incident and the White Waves Hospital Hollow disaster both happened on the same day, and Granny Leisha was involved in both.
- But what's this got to do with sweetcakes?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But what does this have to do with Granny's search for sweetcakes?
- Rina: There is a connection — a big one. The sweetcakes are the link between these two events and have been the source of strife in Granny's heart for 41 years.
- Rina: It's a long story, I had to contact a lot of people and piece it all together... But we don't have much time, so let's talk on the way.
- (After the cutscene)
- Rina: Granny Leisha from 41 years ago...

- Baby: Waaah!! Waaaaaah!!
- Granny Leisha: Hey! That's quite the set of pipes you've got...
- Granny Leisha: Can you keep it down? You're going to frighten the other babies...
- Baby: Waaah! Waaaaaah!!
