…It appears there was some sort of misunderstanding here.
I was asked to act as if I had been taken over by the ghost of an evil emperor.

S-So that's why you were playing the pipe organ? That's a bit of a prejudiced image you've got there.

I was told that you would all happily arrive at the Sparkling Chamber after enjoying a tour of the Land of Ghosts.
Yet, it sounds like you went through a lot of trouble, instead. Allow me to apologize as well for everything you've had to go through.

Hmm. People disappeared, we received those invitations, we were thrown into the Land of Ghosts, and then we were intimidated by the ghosts.
We had plenty of circumstantial evidence. But on the other hand, we allowed our prejudices to blind us, and turned to the side of using force.
It would be complete nonsense to put all the blame on you and the ghosts.

Violence is not the answer to everything, after all.
Wait! Could it be that that was what you were trying to teach us?

How do you always manage to remain so innocent? Of course that wasn't what they were doing!
What about these mirror shards we gathered, though? Were these all hints to the game, as well?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Oh, the shards. No, that really was something that we needed.
I had originally made the ghosts search for them, and yet here you all are with such a huge pile of them.
Searching for them must have been difficult. I praise you for your efforts.

…
(Ugh, I can't say it… I can't tell him that I got most of these by tricking Silver and stealing them from the ghosts!)

Hm. All the required number pieces have been gathered. With this, we can have an extravagant Halloween party.
|
Rook

What do those shards have to do with the party?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Yeah, I've been wondering that the whole time!

O-Oh no, what if it's like Leona said, and they're to repair some big dangerous magic tool?!

Hehehe… Well, if curiosity has you all by the reigns so much…
…allow me to indulge you and reveal the truth of the matter.
Now then, mirror shards… Return to your rightful place in the guise you were always meant to be!
Sparkling Chamber, regain the life that you once lost!
|
Whoa!

Argh, it's so bright!

I can't see anything.

Hm? Whatever that is above our heads…
|

…
It's so sparkly!

Malleus

Yes. This is the Sparkling Chamber's true form.
…Though in truth, I had actually only heard about it from the ghosts. This is my first time seeing it like this myself.
This is the ghosts's choice of location for social gatherings. I hear that it was once a lively placed filled with light and laughter.
But one day, some ghosts that were getting a little too into the partying mood climbed on top of the chandeliers and challenged each other to a duel.
One of their attacks hit the lighting, causing it to shatter.
The glass shards scattered all around the Land of Ghosts…
…and since then, no matter what kind of party, it always seemed to lack some excitement.

Before long, the ghosts stopped gathering at the Sparkling Chamber, and it turned into a completely desolate place.
All the ghosts had given up on finding the shards, but I called them all to action.
If we invited a number of ghosts with the requirement that they attend with a mirror shard, then we'd surely end up gathering all the pieces.

|
Uhhh, 'scuse me. Could you hold on a second?
Are you telling me that these mirror shards…
|
…were all just parts of a mirror ball?!
|
Floyd

|
What? Hey, who the hell was it that said these were parts of some mega dangerous magic tool, huh?! Talk about an overexaggeration!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Hey, it wasn't me.
Very sure there was someone who was all serious as he went, "A lot of these mirrors exist to connect two places together."

Leona
Leona

…Forget it. Right now. Forget everything.
