Detective Finn on the Case

—Insincerity and deception.

In a world smeared with lies and
pretense, what should one believe in?

And even if a world without a grain of
falsehood existed,

would it be any easier to make one's wishes
come true?

Alice

Ahem, ahem...ugh!
Ahem...ahem, ahem...!

Finn

Are you okay, Alice?

Alice

Oh, I just choked a bit, but I'm fine!

Alice

And thanks to that, I recalled the taste
of this morning's tea. Feels like a win!

Finn

(Does she have acid reflux...?
Is that really okay?)

Alice

More importantly! Do any of you know why
we were called here?

Alice

Let's see... You there, Finn!
Answer concisely, briefly, and with wit!

Alice

At the same time, keep it unexpected
and eccentric!

Finn

Huh...?
Eccentric?

Finn

What's with the teacher and student act?
You sure have peculiar hobbies...

Tavun Rabbit

Outrageous! How dare you insinuate that
Miss Alice would stoop to abducting

Tavun Rabbit

people for a reason as trivial
and mundane as a hobby!

Finn

So, you admit to abducting me?
Well, I'm used to it at this point. It's fine.

Finn

Anyway, did something happen in the
dream world again?

Alice

Exactly! Ahem, ahem, ahem!

Finn

You've been coughing for a while now...
Could it be a cold?

Finn

Can Avatars even catch colds...?

Alice

It appears you fail to understand this
sophisticated adult-like demeanor of mine.

Alice

So, let's proceed in true Alice fashion
from here on out♪ Shall we?

Tavun Rabbit

Absolutely! You already possess
the maturity of an adult, Miss Alice!

Tavun Rabbit

With only a slight deficiency in height!

Finn

That's true. You've matured quite a bit
since we first met.

Alice

You're not the only person who's gained
experience through your adventures.

Alice

I've been on quite the learning spree too!

Alice

So! The troubles we've had so far stemmed
from not explaining things beforehand.

Alice

If I provide instructions in advance,
everything should go smoothly!

Finn

Alice...

Alice

What's wrong, Finn?

Finn

Thank you. Everyone else just tosses me
around without any sort of explanation...

Finn

Just acknowledging that means a lot...

Alice

Hehehe, good news for you!

Alice

I'll summarize the situation neatly and
sweetly, with caramel on top!

Finn

Caramel?

Tavun Rabbit

It was a whimsical fairy tale joke!

Tavun Rabbit

It's rather uncouth to nitpick every detail,
young man!

Finn

Oh, okay... Sorry.

Alice

This time, the person having a wicked
dream is a fragile girl residing in a tower.

Alice

She happens to be waiting for someone.

Alice

But her power is quite strong.

Alice

If we don't intervene, the dream might start
seeping into reality.

Alice

So, you're going to fulfill her wish and
lead her to a happy ending.

Alice

Then, her dreams and delusions will
clear up brilliantly!

Finn

And what is this "wish" exactly?

Alice

Well, that's where you come in, my brave
dream detective!

Finn

..."Dream detective?"

Tavun Rabbit

Pray, indulge us with your usual
rhetoric once more.

Tavun Rabbit

"I'll save everyone who needs saving!"
Go on, say it.

Finn

Am I being mocked...?

Alice

It's a joke! You know, fairy tale humor?
Just on a slightly sarcastic side...

Finn

(I always get dragged around by Alice...but if
someone is suffering, I can't just stand aside.)

Finn

Okay, Alice!
I'll help this girl.

Alice

I knew you'd say that!

Alice

Oh, and you can expect quite a lot from
your new helper as well.

Finn

Snow's not coming?

Alice

Snow's been slow to recover her power
since the incident at the Dragon Palace.

Alice

She'll be sitting this one out.

Finn

(Right, there was a lot going on then.)

Finn

(Helping Princess Otohime, stopping
Alice's rampage—)

Finn

You went through a lot yourself, but you
are as lively as ever.

Alice

Well, I underwent more rigorous training,
and besides, I'm just a bigger deal.

Alice

I possess a greater allure and presence,
not to mention my formidable powers♪

Alice

With that said, I'll leave the rest to you!

Alice

Oh, and the clue is "yellow trail."
Don't miss it ☆

Finn

Huh, yellow trail?

Alice

Alrighty then!
Off you go!

Finn

W-Wait a minute!
You haven't explained enough!

Finn

Hey, hey, Aaaliiice!!!

Um, uhh...

(Am I...in some sort of forest?)

Why...

Talia

Why am I still wearing this?

???

Oh, who do we have here—

Talia

And you are?

Gallant Man

My apologies. I didn't mean to startle you,
but I wasn't expecting to encounter

Gallant Man

a beautiful fairy bathing in a place like this.

Talia

I'm not a fairy!

Jakob

Oh, dear me, I've made another mistake.
I am Prince Jakob of Wilhellem.

Jakob

May I ask for your name, fair princess?

Talia

How did you know I'm a princess?

Jakob

Ah, forgive me my boldness, but even the
finest fabric couldn't conceal your radiance.

Jakob

I cannot help but assume that you are
a princess I am yet to be acquainted with.

Talia

(Such an annoying way of talking.)

Talia

I am Princess Talia of Fresalia.

Jakob

Ah, so you are a princess!

Jakob

But why might someone of your standing
find themselves in a place such as this?

Jakob

And in...such attire.

Talia

(This is bad... I can't think of a reasonable
explanation for being here in a swimsuit...)

Jakob

Oh, wait...
Might you be the Lady of the Tower!?

Talia

Lady of the Tower?

Jakob

With your permission, I have a request...
Would you be so kind as to bless me with

Jakob

the enchanting melody of your voice and
sing that song for me?

Talia

What song?

Jakob

You must remember it, surely.

Jakob

"At last spring has come♪
Green leaves and flowers so bold♪"

Jakob

Oh, Your Highness, I'm begging you!

Jakob

Please, this is the request of a lifetime!
I'd stake my own being on it!

Talia

(Such an exaggerated person... But I don't
see deceit in his eyes.)

Talia

Very well.

Talia

(I rarely perform in front of others, but
my parents always praise my singing.)

Talia

(They've also always cautioned against
giving recitals, but well...)

Talia

So, umm...

Talia

At laaast spriiiiing has coooome—

Jakob

Wh-What is this...!

Talia

Floooweeeers—

Jakob

My ears! Please, no more!

Jakob

What in the world was that?
The death cry of a frog?

Talia

Did you...just... A frog!?

Jakob

That wasn't even close to the lovely
singing voice I remember.

Jakob

Alas, I bid thee farewell!

Talia

What was that all about?
Comparing people to frogs, honestly...

Talia

How incredibly rude!

Heeeey!
Heeeeeeeeey!!

Talia

(Who is it this time?)

Finn

Talia! It was you after all!

Talia

You are...Finn, right?

Finn

I'm glad you remember me.

Finn

Uh... Umm.

Talia

What is it?

Finn

Nothing. It's just... Well...

Finn

Why are you wearing a swimsuit in the
middle of the forest?

Talia

You're asking me that too!?

Talia

Next you'll tell me to sing you some
ridiculous "enchanting melody."

Finn

Sing...? Why?

Talia

I'd like to know that myself.
Sigh...

Talia

Never mind. Would you please just take
me back to where I was?

Talia

This outfit is so embarrassing...

Finn

That might be...a bit difficult.
We need to either track down Alice

Finn

or find the master of this dream to sort out
her predicament before you can return.

Talia

Ugh... That dreamland fairy...

Finn

You mean Alice? Did she do something?

Talia

...

Talia

Fine, I'll tell you.

Today was a rare day off without any
official duties.

I was invited by Cinderella to go to
the seaside.

Talia

(I didn't really want to come here...
It's kind of a hassle, if you ask me.)

Talia

(The beach is full of noisy people. All I want
to do is go home and read my book...)

Talia

Anyway, where is Cinderella?

Cinderella

Talia! I'm sorry to keep you waiting!

Talia

Ah, finally!
What's with that look?

Cinderella

Hehe, nothing. I just think that swimsuit
looks amazing on you!

Cinderella

No need to debate if it fits your style...
Just wow! It's absolutely mind-blowing!

Talia

Stop it...

Cinderella

Ah, that's right, you dislike being the
center of attention, don't you?

Cinderella

Still, I really think you look cute!

Talia

Thank you. Hearing that from you...
Well, maybe wearing it was worth it.

Cinderella

You bet!

Talia

So, Cinderella... Aren't you going to
change into your swimsuit?

Cinderella

Right, I'll go now.

Cinderella

When I'm back, I'll race you to the buoy!
And I won't lose!

Talia

You mean, I won't lose!

Cinderella

Hehe, I'll be right back.

Talia

Cute, huh?
I bet Cinderella's swimsuit is nice too...

Talia

Wha—
What's that light?

Alice

Aaaah, aaaah, can you hear me?
Alice here!

Alice

Let me invite you to the world of dreams♪

Talia

Alice...? The world of dreams?
Wait, right now!?

Alice

Here we goooo!

Alice

Humpty Dumpty had a great...flight∼

Talia

And that's how I got here.

Finn

(Really, Alice... As forceful as ever...)

Finn

Anyway, it seems we can't return until we
solve the problems of this world.

Finn

I'll need your help with that.

Talia

Well, if I can't go back, I might as well help.
Besides, I owe you a favor and an apology.

Talia

You helped Cinderella and me.
It's time to repay your kindness.

Finn

I appreciate that, Talia!

Talia

So, where do we go now?

Finn

The master of this dream is apparently
a girl living in a tower.

Finn

I was told the clue is a "yellow trail," but...

Talia

Like that over there, perhaps?

—A string of yellow petals, scattered at
regular intervals...

They looked like an invitation, beckoning
travelers further into the forest.

Finn and Talia shared a glance, their
mutual understanding clear.

With a nod, they set off, following the trail.
