[Shinsekai - Osaka Main Branch] [17:00]
You find Ronaldo and Joe seasrching for something at the deserted main branch...

Joe: Nope, this isn't it either. How about this one...? Wait, I checked it already. Hmm...

Ronaldo: This is junk... Ugh, where could it be?

> Looking for something?

Ronaldo: Yeah, you could say that. ...Who goes there!?

> Stop! Thief!

Ronaldo: Thief...! No! I'm not a theif! Hm...!?

Ronaldo: Oh, it's just you, Hiro. Don't surprise me like that. I've got a delicate heart.

> Delicate, eh...?

Ronaldo: Haha, sure enough! I've faced a lot of things too, you know!

> You'd admit that?

Ronaldo: Haha, what're you talking about? I've faced a lot of things, you know!

Joe: Hey there, Hiro. So Clicky has a weak heart? Haha, that's hilarious!

Ronaldo: ...What's so funny about it? I didn't say anything odd.

Joe: Well, you're delicate about some stuff, that's for sure. Like these documents...
Joe: It's all JP's stuff anyway, so why bother being careful? Just toss 'em!

Ronaldo: ...I seriously wonder about your nerve sometimes, with how disorganized you are.
Ronaldo: By the way, why'd you come here? Are you looking for something?

> Trumpeter.
> A certain demon.

Ronaldo: Ah, this is about what you learned from Fumi, yes? Otome contacted us about it.
Ronaldo: She says Trumpeter may be able to jam Benetnasch and seal that attack.

> That's right.

Ronaldo: Which means we're after the same thing you are.

> We can't find him, though.

Ronaldo: Yes, that's the problem. I'm looking around too, but...

Ronaldo: If you've come here, do you have some evidance that this is where Trumpeter is?

> It was Yamato's domain.

Ronaldo: What...? Then was Trumpeter under Hotsuin's control? That does seem like solid evidence.

> Where else would it be?

Ronaldo: Good point. This is the main JP's branch, so it's most likely here somewhere...

Ronaldo: Wait a second. I saw a document a moment with Hotsuin's name on it...
Ronaldo: It was a list of demons under his control. Could it be in there...?

Ronaldo begins searching the documents lying around...

Ronaldo: What the... It's not here! I'm sure I saw it... Where did it go?

Joe: Oh... Is this it? I pulled it out a second ago. Sorry about that, man.

Ronaldo: This is it...! Thank goodness. Here, hand me that-- Hm!?
Ronaldo: Wh-What the... It's all sticky! Careful, everyone, this may be one of Hotsuin's tricks!

Joe: Oh, that's some of my snot. I had to blow my nose, and there were no tissues, so...

Ronaldo: ...I worry about you sometimes, Joe. But in any case, we have it, smeared though it may be...

> Let's take a look.
> Let me see.

Ronaldo: Yes, this is it. Trumpeter... Found it! See, it's right here.
Ronaldo: It was sealed in Hibiya Park. Ah, and the release code's listed here, too.

> Awesome.

Ronaldo: Indeed! Here, you'll need this release code.

> Give me that code.

Ronaldo: Of course! Haha, you seem rather eager to do this, Hiro.

Ronaldo: If all goes well, Benetnasch's special waves will be nullified and we can summon as we please.
Ronaldo: Our victory is nigh. Hah, it's even written in the document.
Ronaldo: "The vast echo of his trumpet sends unusual sound waves all through the surrounding area.
Ronaldo: "The effect gradually takes hold over a wide range. More experiments may be required."
Ronaldo: Hm? Wait a second... Did I read that right? It affects a wide range?
Ronaldo: Oh, come on...!

> Is there a problem?

Ronaldo: Think about it! If this is true, then Trumpeter's melody won't just jam Benetnasch...
Ronaldo: It affects a wide range! That means our own app will be jammed too!
Ronaldo: We still won't be able to summon any demons!

> Our app won't work?

Ronaldo: Probably not... If the melody affects a wide range...
Ronaldo: We'll be jammed just like Benetnasch, and we still can't summon any demons!

Ronaldo: Ngh... I wasn't expecting this.
Ronaldo: Even if we summon our demons before the effect takes hold, what do we do afterwards...?
Ronaldo: Then again, we don't have much time. We may have to go through with this anyway...

Joe: Wow... This is some pickle. What should we do, Hiro? It's a real double-edged sword!

You say your farewells to the troubled Ronaldo and Joe before leaving...
