We go to the theater, where a sprite is practicing olympic jumping

Because I'm pretty sure thats not human dancing

Lloyd gets hugged by Ilya for being Cecile's little brother. To the horror of Randy

The case barely started and we already arrived at Revache

However we know from the between chapter scene Yin is not from Revache. Hes from Heiyue

So I guess Revache is the red herring this time. At least for the characters, since the player is more informed.

Ilya slapped Marconi in the face because he touched her

Only Ilya has the right to touch people. Anytime. Whether they want to be touched or not.

The fact the narration kind of acknowledges Lloyd's arbitrary chivarly is toxic and the characters are actively policing it is a nice touch

Like, he starts talking about leaving the girls behind again and Tio stops him mid sentence.

Lloyd himself seems to be starting to get aware it's a bad thing

Elie's interest in the mafia is... interesting. I smell some backstory.

mean

we visit Bellguard gate, where we get some interesting lore about Crossbell military

the lore being that Crossbell Military doesn't actually exist. Because of law, likely related to the country's independence accords with its two giant neighbors

what exists is the CGF. Which is not military. On paper. But in practice, they are heavily trained and have tanks and stuff. But the country avoids being too on the face about it, to not make its foreign neighbors worried

which is pretty unfair, because there is no way a little country like Crossbell is going to try to annex land from Erebonia or Calvard. But the later would always use that as an excuse to invade Crossbell themselves, so they have to pretend

we go interrogate the mafia. The idea of interrogating the mafia seems suicidal, but the mafia sub-boss actually wants to talk. Hmmm

the talk doesn't progress much of anything, but Lloyd gains a few points in my book for being the calm and pragmatic dude.

The cast realizes Yin is not with the mafia, but is related to them. I love intelligent party members, makes the plot flow so smoothly

We go visit Mr. Lawyer for information on the mafia. Always helpful, this lawyer

Too helpful. I don't feel like he is the evil type, though. So calling it now: he's gonna die.

next, we go interrogate the Chinese mafia. These kids are bold

yeah this is the kind of guy who is usually 5 steps ahead of you

he casually reveals he already knows who we are

yeah Lloyd has gone a long way from "we don't talk to civilians, we are cops!" to "we both know you are the culprit but let's pretend we dont so we can talk". I don't recall there being much character development to arrive here, but his current characterization is better than what we got in the prologue

Cao Lee all but reveals he is the one who hired Yin, except he doesn't. This is some 5D chess match those characters are playing rn

ok so which organization is being controlled by Orobouros? Revache, Heilyn, or both? Find out... some chapter

Elie suggests we call HQ since Yin is OP. The thing we should have done last chapter but did not

Oh hey it's Massive Asshole with the Glasses! (aka Dudley)

Dudley is right that this setting's politics is much more complex than the PCs are aware of. However he is still a massive jackass. He demeans their skills then casually snatches the case from them

If this was real life, this would be it, but it isn't. Dudley is making a massive mistake, one Agate made many times back in FC. Believing he can make the plot advance away from the main characters. It won't. The plot will find Lloyd and co., whether side characters like Dudley want it or not

Elie gets emotional for a moment and I just want to know whats the story here

Come on, SSS, start showing your skeletons in the closet already so I can get all those sweet character bonding scenes

We run into Elie's grandfather out of nowhere, who seems to be a nice guy

lol at Lloyd realizing he is the friggin mayor while Randy and Tio are clueless, and the former just having a permanent (...) balloon over his head

cat is out of the bag. this is a funny scene

sprite coreograph looks pretty good

we lose the case but we gain free tickets! Honestly guys, as members of the proletariat, you should just call this a win and walk out

This secretary Ernest is bad news

this seems to be the Elie Chapter, tbh

I love chef Sergei

"Well you guys got the case taken away from you? Just work incognito then"

No "your badge and your gun plz" bullshit. He's all in with letting the protagonists work behind the law

Lloyd resolves to go to some classic shonen protagonist pep talk with Elie

I swear this roof was designed just for emotional character scenes

Just kiss already
