Dialogue[]

Chongyun's pure-yang spirit has finally been brought under control, but he is now aware that the strange goings-on during the Test of Courage are a result of human activity. However, neither of you is ready to give up yet, and at Chongyun's suggestion, you split up and continue to search for traces of the paranormal...
As Yet Unresigned[]
- (Talk to Qianqian)
- Qianqian: *sobbing* Huh...? Um...
- Qianqian: Um... Can... C—Can you help me...?
Help you?
Why me?
- Qianqian: Um, that exorcist... with that blue hair... is so scary!
- Qianqian: C—Can you lead him away from here? He makes me feel so frightened...
Are you being affected by his yang energy?
- Qianqian: I wouldn't dare get anywhere near him... His energy... It's so horrible! It'll make me disappear!
- Qianqian: ...I don't want to disappear! Please, help me...
I wonder if he'd consider you an evil spirit...
He'll have to be the one that decides what to do.
- Qianqian: ...Well... I—I have an idea.
- Qianqian: Um... I—I saw the exorcist with blue hair a—arguing with someone over there a few minutes ago.
- Qianqian: I'll scare those troublemakers away, but y—you have to ask the exorcist to let me go, okay?
Are you telling the truth?
- Qianqian: O—Of course... Qianqian never lies.
I can get him out of trouble myself.
- Qianqian: ...Yeah but... it'll be complicated. I've already got a plan, you must believe me!
- Qianqian: So, um... What do you say?
He'll be the one that decides, but I'll try to explain the situation as best I can.
- Qianqian: Um... Uh, okay... So, I'll take that as a "yes"?
- Qianqian: I hope the exorcist with blue hair is a good person.
- Qianqian: Um... So, I'll help him, and you'll go talk to him. Hopefully, then he'll leave me alone... Sound good?
- (Approach Chongyun)
- Zhouliang: Hey, you've been turning the whole place upside down looking for "evil spirits." Other participants are starting to complain!
- Fu San'er: Yeah! Why would an exorcist show up at the Test of Courage and tell everyone that there are no ghosts here? You're just stirring up trouble!
- Chongyun: Honestly, I find this whole thing quite confusing. If there really are ghosts here, then you're using them to make Mora regardless of the participants' safety. You tell me, is that ethical business practice?
- Chongyun: And if there are no ghosts here, then your so-called Test of Courage is nothing but a big scam!
- Chongyun: Not only are you avoiding my questions, but now you accuse me of causing trouble?
- Zhouliang: I've already told you! This is what kind of event the Test of Courage is! It's not our problem that you're taking it so seriously.
- Zhouliang: And now that you're disturbing our participants, we'll have to ask you to leave.
- Chongyun: If anything about this made any sense at all, I would leave of my own volition.
- Chongyun: But if I leave now, I'm leaving evil spirits to their own devices.
(I wonder what I should say in this situation...)
- Distant Sound: Help!!!
- Distant Sound: G—Ghost! There's a ghost!
- Distant Sound: Run for your life!
- Zhouliang: Wh—What's going on!?
- Fu San'er: Everyone's starting to panic! I—Is there really a ghost?
- Zhouliang: Don't be silly! But if everyone starts running, someone could get hurt!
- Zhouliang: Everyone! Just calm down — no need to panic. Please move in an orderly fashion!
- The staff leave in a hurry, leaving you to tell Chongyun about Qianqian's plan.
- Chongyun: I see... So there's no evil spirits here, just a wandering ghost.
- Chongyun: And she scared everyone away because I was in trouble?
She only scared them. She didn't hurt anyone.
- Chongyun: If things are as you say, then she doesn't seem like a malignant spirit.
She's a ghost, but she's also just a kid.
I'll let you be the judge.
- Chongyun: ...
- Chongyun: Alright... As long as she promises not to harm anyone, then I'll pretend that I never knew about her.
- Chongyun: However, if she ever does harm anyone, it'll be my job as an exorcist to come and purge her... To mend my mistake.
I don't think that day will ever come.
- Chongyun: I hope so...
I'll be equally responsible, too.
- Chongyun: No... No, no, this is my call. I shall take full responsibility.
- Chongyun: ...We should go now. It doesn't seem we're particularly welcome here anyway.
...
- Chongyun: ...What's wrong?
I was under the impression that you wouldn't be willing to let Qianqian go.
- Chongyun: I have faith in my judgment of good and evil.
- Chongyun: But, if I begin to neglect my perception of good and evil, it may lead to something I'd regret for the rest of my days.
This sounds just like something you would say.
I didn't expect you to have a gentle side.
- Chongyun: Wait, you mean... you didn't think I could be fair and reasonable?
- Chongyun: R—Really? Do I look so obstinate?
It doesn't matter.
I know you better now.
- Chongyun: Yeah, you're right. Alright, we should leave now.
Wait a moment.
Let's say goodbye to Qianqian.
- Chongyun: Ahh... Hmm... Okay.
