Opening 5
.
After landing on the nearby island known as The Narrows, Lucius and Paimon come across a ruin with a triangular mechanism seemingly placed strategically.
Paimon: A new mechanism for us to learn.
Lucius: Great... more brain stuff.
*SHING*
All of a sudden, the triangular mechanism suddenly spans a holographic golden cube within it.
Paimon: Did you do something?
Lucius: Nope, didn't even touch it.
Paimon: How weird. Maybe we need to do something with it?
Lucius: Like what?
Paimon: Hit it, I guess.
Lucius: Seriously?
Lucius asks unimpressed by that suggestion.
Paimon: Got any better ideas?
Lucius: ...
*SMACK*
Lucius casually smacks the mechanism as the golden cube suddenly shrinks itself to a smaller size, while a door suddenly opens right in front of them, revealing some sort of library.
Paimon: Woah... a library?
Lucius carefully steps inside, his eyes wandering around for any dangers.
*STEP*
The two hear a footstep coming from the second floor, immediately alerting Lucius as he takes out his blade.
Paimon: Be careful, Lucius.
Lucius: Yeah.
???: It seems I have visitors.
A male voice calls out as Lucius suddenly leaps to the second floor.
Paimon: Wait Lucius!
Lucius: Huh?
Lucius looks up and sees a male that was just taller than him, donning glasses while wearing an Inazuma-style outfit.
???: Uh-oh! Trying to trespass, are we...? Wait, maybe not. I correct myself. You two must be the heroes who have come to retrieve the coral this time, are you not?
Paimon rejoins Lucius, having overheard everything the man just said.
Paimon: "Two?" Hehe, so you're counting Paimon too?
???: Haha. Well, I was originally thinking that "Sangonomiya Shrine couldn't possibly be so shorthanded that they're only sending one person, right?" So consider my expectations exceeded. There's actually two of you.
Lucius: Oh, I know my way around a fight.
???: Haha! I love your gusto and optimism! Good stuff! I hope that by the end of this, you'll count me in the team as well. I'm sure the three of us will get on swimmingly!
Lucius: Introduce yourself now.
???: Alright, alright. I'm a researcher who has come to assist you. Call me Enjou. My main duty is to organize and translate clues regarding the trial to guide you on your path.
Paimon: Ooh, that's nice. We've always had to rely on our own memory to figure the puzzles we encountered elsewhere.
Enjou: Wow! You know what? You might actually be more professional than me, then! I mean, I'm just a scholar.
