Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

My name is Naruhodo Ryuichi, attorney-at-law.

I fight for those who need my help.

That is my duty.

And at times,

the people who need my help happen to be ones I know very well.

Harumi-chan?

Naruhodo-kun!

I'm here today to ask for the favor of a lifetime!

A seashell?

Hear the Waves of Turnabout

Yes.

I want to find another one just like this.

Wait, did you...

Yes.

It's very important to me,

but I dropped it, and it broke.

I knew it!

And I can't hear the waves anymore!

The waves?

Yes. I used to be able to hear the ocean when I put it to my ear.

That's a big hole right there.

I couldn't find the missing piece.

Please come with me and help me find a new shell!

But I've never seen anything like this before.

What is it?

Oh, uh...

What the heck? Why do I feel like I recognize it from somewhere?

I hear it's a special kind of seashell that you can only find at that beach.

And where is this beach?

I don't know.

But I do have a lead!

Is this...

Mayoi-chan's handwriting?

Yes. It's the directions to that beach.

Wheat Fairy

Sip 'n' Sob

Shall we ask her, then?

Oh, but she's not here today. She said she had something important to do.

But when she's—

Please, keep this a secret from Mayoi-sama!

A secret?

Also, it really has to be today!

Wave!!

Wait, could this be...

Naruhodo-kun?

All right, bingo.

Harumi-chan...

Let's get going, shall we?

It's important to you, huh?

Mayoi-sama gave it to me. It's my treasure.

She did?

Yes.

Five Years Ago

Mother, what bird is that?

That's a kite.

They'll swoop down and try to steal any fried foods you might be eating.

Watch out for them.

You know a lot of things, Mother.

It's almost time for lunch.

Okay. I'll go get Mayoi-sama.

Mayoi... sama?

Hami-chan!

Mayoi-sama!

I'm sorry I entered your room without permission!

It's fine. What are you looking at?

Um, what is this?

A shell.

Shell?

Never seen one before?

They're found in the sea.

The sea?

Look. This is what the sea is like.

Onee-chan took this picture for me.

Wow, what is this?

Blue water as far as the eye can see!

Yup. I was amazed the first time I saw it, too.

I had no idea the world could be so vast.

The world?

The world outside Kurain Village.

Huh? But there's nothing outside the village.

Only mountains.

That's what Mother says.

The sea is amazing.

It's where all life came from.

Life?

It gave birth to the mountains, the fish, and then humans.

I heard this place was also part of the ocean a long, long time ago.

What? I can't believe it!

Say, Hami-chan. Do you want to see the ocean?

Yes, I do!

But...

Leave it to your Mayoi-chan!

"There's nothing in this world but Kurain Village and the mountains.

So you mustn't ever leave the village."

That's what I'd been told all my life.

That's kind of extreme.

Wanting to see the ocean was a request that would never be accepted.

Absolutely not!

Ayasato Branch Family — Ayasato Kimiko

Harumi will not take one step out of the village.

B-But, hey,

it's almost time for this year's Dedication Ceremony.

I could just take Hami-chan with me.

Only the main family's head may leave the village, and only once a year.

That is the Kurain's ironclad rule, and I shouldn't have to remind you.

Well, yeah,

but Mom and Sis said it was important to learn about the outside world.

This discussion is over.

Aunt?

If you wish to become head in the future, you'll never again speak such nonsense.

Um, I think I don't want to see the ocean after all.

I'm very sorry!

Hami-chan!

Seashell Station

Now, if my theory is right...

Nice.

All right, let's go.

Seashell Station

Yes!

Is this really all right?

Of course it is. I promised to show you the ocean, didn't I?

You did.

But don't tell Auntie, okay?

It'll be our little secret.

Our little secret!

That was on this day five years ago.

So today's the anniversary, huh?

Yes! That's why I wanted to come look for the shell today, no matter what!

Look, we're almost there!

Look! We're almost there!

And here we are!

This is... the ocean?

I really wanted to show you this.

Mayoi-sama...

I'll look here!

Please search over there, Naruhodo-kun!

Got it!

What is the meaning of this?

As a head candidate, surely you're aware of the village's rules!

Yes...

And how could you take her without permission?

What if something had happened to Harumi-chan?!

I'm sorry, Aunt.

Good grief. I see the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Just look at your mother!

Remind me, what happened when she broke the rules and got involved with outsiders?

Not only did she ruin the Kurain's reputation, she went and disappeared!

But that was for the village's betterment—

And Chihiro-sama, too.

She left the village, saying she wanted to become a lawyer.

Of all the selfish acts!

No! Onee-chan's trying to find leads on Mom's whereabouts!

You women of the main family are an embarrassment to the Kurain!

Mother! Mayoi-sama did it for me!

Oh, don't you worry about a thing. You did nothing wrong.

Her powers are superior to yours!

It's only because of your blood that you stand above her!

Never forget that!

Mayoi-sama...

Hami-chan?

I'm so sorry. It's all because I was so selfish.

Nah. I'm the one who invited you.

You have nothing to apologize for.

Oh, right. Hang on a sec.

What's that?

A special seashell you can only find at that beach.

Here. Try putting it to your ear.

Oh, I hear something.

It's the waves.

This shell is filled with the sound of that ocean.

Wow, that's amazing.
