Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

The treasured Kurain Village heirloom, "Shichishito," or "Seven-Branched Sword."

It is said that this sacred sword represents life itself.

Though the branches may appear to be infinite, the choices limitless...

Like our destinies, the sword comes to but one end.

It mercilessly severs the thread binding us to this world, impales us,

and lays bare the implacability of fate.

Raising Your Spiritual Power Winter Special

Man, if Pearly hadn't showed me this magazine,

I would've missed out on a chance to boost my spiritual powers!

Thanks, Pearly!

I'm glad to see it pleased you.

N-Ni-Nic-Nick!

I-It-It's so c-co-cold here! I'm dying!

Maybe you should've put on something warmer for a change.

B-Bu-But this too is training!

We're almost there, Mystic Maya. Hang in there.

Yeah!

As if winter wasn't cold enough already, we've come to the snow-capped mountains.

We're accompanying Maya on her training.

Oh, we can see it now! That's Hazakura Temple!

Hazakura Temple

Hazakura Temple here is a training spot for Kurain School spirit channelers.

W-We-We're finally here!

Come, come, come, come...

Come this way!

February 7 — 3:24 PM Hazakura Temple Main Hall

Thank you.

No, thank you for coming all this way.

Come, warm up.

It's so warm, Nick!

Quit acting tough and get in here!

Uh, I'm not.

Now...

I should introduce myself.

I'm the head nun here at the temple.

Hazakurain Bikini

My name is Bikini.

Bi...

...ki...

...ni?

That's right!

It's my "temple" name.

Bi! Ki! Ni!

Bi

ki

ni

I'm too old for it, right?

Not that it'd be any better if I were younger.

So who might you be?

It's me! I signed up for your special course!

My, my, my! Quite brave of you, considering how cold it is!

Young people can be so reckless.

Don't blame me if you die.

Reckless?

You have to sit on ice and chant Kurain spells thirty thousand times,

all while dousing yourself in freezing-cold water.

You could freeze up in an instant, so take care.

And how am I supposed to do that?

Well, make yourself at home.

There's still time before dinner.

In that case, I guess I'll go take a nice, hot bath.

Oh, "nice, hot"?

What a funny thing to say.

This is a training spot!

What makes you think there'd be a hot bath here?

All we have is a cool waterfall.

Cool waterfall...

Purify yourself with me!

Nick is always willing to walk through hell and cold water for you.

My, what a cute little acolyte.

Greetings to all of you.

Hello.

Um, your outfit...

Did you come here for the special course, too?

Unfortunately, no.

I'm actually...

Pearls?

C-Could you be Elise Deauxnim?!

Oh, you've heard of me?

Elise Deauxnim

Who is she, Nick?

From what I can see,

a fortune teller?

I write picture books for children.

O-Oh, picture books?

Your art always makes me feel as if my heart has been purified!

It makes me feel very happy to hear you say that.

Maybe I should to try to write a picture book, too.

I'm sure you'll be able to write a most wonderful book.

All right! Please take me under your wing!

Ouch!

Oh no! Are you hurt?

I-I'm fine.

That's what you get for trying to neglect your training.

I'm sorry.

Come to think of it, another man recently asked me to make him my apprentice.

Apprentice?

He calls himself Laurice Deauxnim.

I believe he's off doing some landscape sketches now.

Um...

Are you here to do research for a new book?

Yes, something like that.

Well, you'll have to excuse me now.

I have to go help with the dinner preparations.

You mean you're cooking?

That's right. We're having curry tonight.

I'd like to help, too!

My, thank you.

Then me, too!

No.

The two of us will be fine.

You should go see the inner temple, where you'll be training tonight.

Can you do that, Maya?

Sure!

Dusky Bridge

Pearls was completely taken with her.

Well, Ms. Elise is a wonderful lady!

Oh!

There's Dusky Bridge!

Dusky Bridge

"Dusky Bridge"?

Dusky Bridge

More like Decay Bridge.

What's wrong? Why is your face green?

Uh, well,

I'm just a little scared of heights.

If I fell from here...

Just cross it quick!

No! Maya—

I thought I was gonna die.

Hurry up, Nick!

February 7 — xx:xx PM Inner Temple — Outside Hermit Hall

Pardon us!

This is some place.

Hermit Hall

That rock looks like it could crumble at any moment.

So this is the Inner Temple's Hermit Hall!

Yikes, even the inside looks like it could collapse anytime.

Is this really where you're going to train?

It's kinda creepy.

Like a ghost might jump out!

A spirit medium afraid of ghosts? How ironic.

Eek! A ghost!

Ow...

Thank goodness! It's a person!

Hey, I'm going to train here tonight.

Oh, I'm Iris.

I'm one of the nuns here at this temple.

Hazakurain Iris

I'm Maya Fey.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure is mine.

Well, I have some chores to attend to.

H-Hey!

One moment!

A-Are you...

Ah!

N-Nick, this...

What about this hanging scroll?

Th-This...

It's my mother.

Misty Fey, the Master of the Kurain School of Channeling.

Are you sure?

See the crest at the top?

That's the symbol of a Kurain Master.

What is it?

If it wasn't for that crest,

I wouldn't have known it was my mother.

I haven't seen her in over fifteen years, so I don't even remember her face.

Maya...

Dusky Bridge

You okay? Your face is dark green now.

Dusky Bridge

Paradise Falls

Y-Yeah, I don't think I'm okay.

Hey, you two!

Paradise Falls

Don't stand around there!

You're ruining my sketch—

Wait, you're...

Pleased to meet you.

Laurice Deauxnim

I'm Laurice Deauxnim!

Pull the other one! You're just Larry!

Shut up! I'm Laurice!

And I'm here to sketch Dusky Bridge!

"Deauxnim"? Oh, are you the apprentice?

I just realized I didn't like this guy known as Larry Butz.

And that's when I came across Elise Deauxnim's picture books!

Was your heart washed anew?

Exactly! Washed anew!

Whoa! So cool!

Dinner is ready, everyone.

Please come to the Main Hall.

Time for curry!
