 Return to your room at Suibian Temple to sleep

It had been a calm, blissful, and cozy day. The video shop went smoothly, commissions were taken care of without trouble, and nothing weighed on my mind... Now, it's time to hit the hay.

Failume Heights

(Interact with the Warm Bed)

(It's a calm, blissful, and cozy day. The video store is running smoothly, commissions are a breeze, and nothing weighs on your mind... Now, it's time to hit the hay.)

Just as you're about to fall asleep, the smell of delicious grilled meat drifts in, accompanied by light footsteps...
Trying hard to keep your eyes shut...
...Whew...
...Smells so good...
Ah whatever, might as well get up and see what's going on.

Lucia: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), I knew you weren't asleep yet!

Lucia: Perfect timing — we've got a daylight emissary meet-up scheduled tonight, and I really need your expert eye!

A Daylight Emissary meet-up?

Lucia: Yeah! You know I normally only go out at night... but this story stretches way past the evening hours!

Lucia: So, I really need a "Daylight Emissary" who can help me keep searching for material during the day.

Lucia: He's swifter and more agile than a Thanatos, as sharp and clever as a Dullahan; and most importantly, he carries a curiosity that drives him to chase after every unfinished story—

Lucia: It's the one and only Hero of Failume Heights!

I've heard that somewhere before ...

Sounds very famous!

Lucia: That's right, this is the amazing Bangboo that was featured in "Bangboo Style"!

Lucia: It can repair broken charging stations, rescue lost Bangboo from the Hollows, and take sick kitties to Fluffy's door... In short, it's a super capable little one!

Lucia: And rumor has it, it's doing all this just to gain more knowledge and become "the most capable Bangboo in Failume Heights"!

Lucia: How about that? Perfect fit, right!

Very cute!

I want one!

Lucia: Naturally. I chose my partner very carefully. In order to blend in at Failume Heights, it even takes care to hide its true identity and appearance...

Lucia: But that's nothing the Night Emissary can't handle. With a small bit of finesse, I managed to find out about it!

Lucia: A-Shuo told me the "Hero of Failume Heights" appears at the second hour after midnight, starting its daily adventure at the tong sui shop... We've got half an hour left, if we head there now we can catch it!

A little bit of finesse?

Lucia: Ahem... It's this skewer of grilled meat. A-Shuo really loves it.

A-Shuo?

Lucia: Yeah, it's pretty easy to communicate with A-Shuo. You just gotta know a few tricks... like this barbecue!

Lucia: Want a taste? I ran all the way here to keep these skewers at their best flavor, they're still hot!

Lucia shoves the barbecue into your hands, then hurriedly climbs out the window...
Head out with her to find the "Hero of Failume Heights."

 Meet Lucia at the tong sui shop in Failume Heights

---

We spotted a Paperboo looking around suspiciously... Could this be the Hero of Failume Heights?

Failume Heights

(Idle)

Lucia: Found you — Hero of Failume Heights!

(Talk to Lucia)

You spot a Paperboo hanging around in front of the tong sui shop...

Lucia: Found you, Hero of Failume Heights!

Paperboo: Nhe? (What?)

Paperboo: Nhe-nhe! (I—I've got no idea what Bangboo you're talking about!)

Lucia: Huh? Appears late at night, the Failume Heights tong sui shop, and a super reliable Bangboo...
Could there be any other besides you?

Paperboo: Ehn... Nhu nhe... Nhe-nhe! (Maybe it wasn't me... perhaps... well, you got your info mixed up!)

Lucia: I see... *sigh* But without the Hero of Failume Heights, there's no way I can make any progress with my research...

Lucia looks so down that even the Bangboo is hesitant...

Paperboo: Nhe-en... Nhe-nhu na! (Uh... to be honest, I know who you're talking about. If you need anything, I can also help you pass on the message!)

Lucia: In that case, could you please tell it the Night Emissary wants to become partners!

Paperboo: Nhe-nha? (The Night Emissary?)

Lucia: Yeah, that's me!

Lucia: I've been collecting ghost stories and Ethereal legends... but for certain reasons, I can only work at night.

Lucia: ...I really need a daytime envoy to help me look for material during the day.

Lucia: He's swifter and more agile than a Thanatos, as sharp and clever as a Dullahan; and most importantly, he carries a curiosity that drives him to chase after every unfinished story—

Lucia: Only the Hero of Failume Heights could possibly meet these requirements...

The Bangboo puffs out its chest with pride...
As it nods again and again, the two halves of its paper shell sway in the breeze, the seam at its mouth widening as it moves...

Paperboo: Ehn! Nhe-nhu! (That's right! The only one who can meet these requirements is me... Ah, I mean... the Hero of Failume Heights!)

That was close...

...You almost gave yourself away!

Lucia: Here's a copy of "The Complete Ghost Stories of Failume Heights" containing all the supernatural tales I've documented. Could you deliver it to the Hero of Failume Heights?

Paperboo: Ehn! Nhu! (What? Let me see!)

Paperboo: Nhe... Ehn... Ehn-na! En-nhe-nhu! (Actually... me and the Hero of Failume Heights are really good buddies! Seeing as you've been so sincere, I'll accept on its behalf!)

Lucia carefully produces a binding agreement — once it's signed, the Hero of Failume Heights and the Night Emissary will officially be partners!
After a long night of effort, the new partner finally presses down its paper shell lid and scurries off on its little legs before dawn breaks.

Lucia: Phew... The "Daylight Emissary meet-up" is finally over!

Are you going to go back and sleep?

Lucia: I would normally, but before I headed out today, I promised Yuzuha and Manato I'd join them for dinner [sic]... and they told me I had to bring you along, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)!

Lucia: It's about time. Let's head over there!

 Talk to Manato

Let's head to Mystic Wares and celebrate Lucia finding a great partner!

Failume Heights

(Idle)

Komano Manato: Lucia! And Proxy! Over here!

(Talk to Manato)

Komano Manato: Lucia! And Proxy! Over here!

Manato, you're here too!

Komano Manato: Of course. Today was a big day, the day Lucia found a partner, and so Spook Shack agreed to celebrate together.

Komano Manato: How did everything go? All good?

Lucia: Yep! Your information was spot on. I found the Hero of Failume Heights as soon as we got there!

Lucia: Just as I thought, it was a shy little Paperboo, not too fond of chatting with people... but the second "Ghost Stories of Failume Heights" came up, it perked right up.

Lucia: I took the chance to suggest we work together, and, just as expected, it went over well.

Lucia: Now, the Night Emissary has the Hero of Failume Heights as her daytime partner!

Sounds like you were well prepared...

That was a solid plan.

Komano Manato: Uh... actually, I had to cozy up to A-Shuo for quite a while before it agreed to track when each Bangboo showed up around Failume Heights...

Lucia: Mhm! I've mastered the art of communication with A-Shuo now. It turned out to be a really smart and reliable partner!

You arrive at the entrance to Mystic Wares...
Immediately, an intense fragrance fills the air!

Ukinami Yuzuha: You're back... hmm, I can tell, it must've been a perfect job!

So it was a group scheme.

Komano Manato: Ahem... I wouldn't quite say that. But judging by the outcome, the target Bangboo seemed pretty happy too.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Alright, we'll talk about the mission later~

Ukinami Yuzuha: Everyone get in here. Breakfast is ready, let's chat while we eat!

You eat breakfast with everyone at Spook Shack... it's absolutely delicious!

Trust Rank Upgrade to Close with Lucia Elowen

(Idle)

Lucia: So this is what they call having a partner in crime...

Lucia: It's different, but feels awesome. Next time I'll take the initiative to organize this kind of event!
