Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File

Kids!

When watching TV, stay in a well lit room

and at an adequate distance from the screen.

Yes?

Ah! Welcome.

Do you have business with our Detective Agency?

Yes. My name is Simon Light.

I want to ask Professor Layton to solve a certain mystery.

Is Professor Layton in right now?

Professor Layton?

The one who became famous after solving mysteries all around the world, one after the other.

That Professor Layton!

I see, that Professor Layton.

In any case, please, come in.

Sher-san, that's for the customers.

I'm Noah, the assistant.

Noah Montreaux.

I see.

I'm sorry for suddenly coming in like this.

Don't worry.

In any case, I must say that for the famous Professor Layton's Detective Agency, such a small place feels...

I'm home!

Eh?

Who?

He's a customer!

I'm really sorry for that.

Welcome to Layton's Detective Agency!

Have some delicious Earl Grey tea brought from the south.

Enjoy.

Thank you very much.

Well, then. Can you tell me what happened?

Eh?

Em... and Professor Layton?

Yes?

No, no, no.

When talking about Professor Layton, that big silk hat comes to mind.

No, no, no.

Yes, yes yes.

Eh... this is the famous Professor Layton's, that solved many mysteries around the world, Detective Agency, right?

Actually, you see, in the end, my reasoning abilities are above my father's.

Father?

Ah, so you are Professor Layton's daughter then?

Then, where may your father be?

Ok, wait a moment. I am Layton.

That may be so because you are his daughter, but I have business with your father, Professor Layton...

Listen.

I'm telling you!

I'm the one running this Detective Agency!

Katrielle Layton!

Now, now, Katry-san.

For now, let's have his daughter, Katry-san, listen to you.

O-ok.

Ok.

Then, tell us.

Yeah.

It looks like I ended up buying a cursed house.

My whole family suddenly disappeared while being inside the house.

They suddenly disappeared?

And then?

I'm sure that if things go on like this I'm going to be swallowed by the house's curse too.

That looks like a big case!

Eh?

Could it be you don't believe me?

I completely believe you.

Or rather, I've been waiting for something like this!

Now, calmly tell me about all the details!

Me and my family were ecstatic that we finally managed to get a house of our own.

Is it taken?

But it looks like this was a terribly dreadful house.

Hey! Everyone! Where are you?

Samantha?

Linda?

Breda?

My family disappeared one after the other.

We were supposed to be me, my wife and my two daughters.

But in the end, I was there all by myself.

Answer, please!

Heeeeeey!

Even the Scotland Yard inspector I asked to look for my family disappeared.

That place is really haunted, after all.

That does sound terrifying.

This sounds really interesting!

Eh?

The mystery of a haunted house devouring people.

I, Katrielle Layton, will take this case!

Let's solve every mystery.

That's my Layton's Detective Agency motto.

And it looks like today too, we've got involved in a mysterious case!

Dreams are so shiny. Shura shura.

Is it impossible being lazy? I want to become great.

It's my earnest feeling. Looking at the "me" right now,

Change! Let's go beyond.

I may not know how to cast magic,

but I have the courage to smile when I'm with you.

As a kid, opening my hands as much as I could,

counting all the clouds I couldn't reach, I started to cry.

Dreams are so shiny. Shura shura.

Is it impossible being lazy? I want to become great.

It's my earnest feeling. Lookin at the "me" right now,

Change! Let's go beyond.

Katrielle and the mysterious house

What a wonderful house.

This is something we got with our own power, as the result of our own efforts.

So this is what you finally got after working earnestly, right?

But weren't you raised in quite a wealthy family that could buy a house or two like this with no problem?

Eh?

Am I wrong?

N-No, you are right.

How did you know that, Katry-san?

Is that what they call a detective's intuition?

It's just a deduction, simply deduction, Simon-san.

That necktie pin of yours is one of the works by the late artist craftsman at Crawley Bridge, right?

Since all his works were order made, they had a high price.

At the time, they were enough to easily buy a house.

The fact that you have something so expensive must mean that at some point you received it from your parents.

And therefore, I think that at the time, you must have had plenty of money.

You got all that just from a necktie pin? That's incredible!

Hawk Necktie Pin

Then, please, come inside.

Be careful.

People are disappearing, so there's a chance that there's a wormhole to another dimension inside.

Is that so?

We are talking about a cursed house that made a whole family disappear.

We can't drop our guards!

Y-yes!

Couldn't it be that his wife and daughters stopped loving him and ran away from home?

As a person, that's a pretty mean thing to say.

I'm a dog.

And there are people who can hear my voice, and people who can't.

That customer looks like the kind who can't.

But it would be really mean if he could.

By the way, Simon-san.

What do you think of the possibility that your wife and daughter stopped loving you and left?

I don't think that happened.

All members of the family are united by strong bonds.

Of course.

Sher was really rude after all.

Me?

Ligh-san. How is the house?

The real state agent?

We are really busy with something! Go back!

Oh? Is there any problem?

If this place has any kind of secret, you better tell us!

It being cursed or something like that!

What?

Leave that guy!

Let's get inside!

The interior and the atmosphere are lovely!

Are you all right with bringing the dog in?

There's no problem.

First, let's start from here.

The rooms are also great.

This photograph?

Those are my father and my little brother, Garfunkel.

So, where is your little brother now?

Who knows?

When he was thirteen he left the house to study abroad.

Since then, I haven't met him at all.

He didn't even show at the funeral.

It looks like he took our father's inheritance, so I bet hes having a leisurely life somewhere.

To think that the photo was still there though!

I told them to take care of it!

Eh? Are you not on good terms?

We are not even at that point!

We were always being compared by our father when we were little.

Even though I'm the older brother,

I was never able to surpass my little brother.

How could I but be bitter about that!?

The way our father treated us was completely different.

And, in the end,

he gave all the inheritance to my little brother.

But that necktie pin...

He wanted me to take this with me no matter what.

As embarrassing as it is, I didn't know this necktie pin was so valuable.

Well, he did offer me a house, but...

I bet it was just some villa he was not using.

I refused it.

A house...

A House left by the Father

Everything looks wonderful!

The furniture and other things in the house were really nice.

Most things are just like the previous owners left them.

I think I got the layout of the house more or less.

Now, tell me all the details about your family's disappearance.

Yes.

It happened three days ago.

The three of them where whispering among them after finding something.

Thinking about it now, maybe they were already affected by the house's curse.

After that, Samantha and the girls disappeared.

I see.

And in the end you were the only one remaining, right?

Yes.

It looks like everyone just vanished, right?

Ah, but actually he's also here.

He's really slow.

Ha has something in his mouth.

A slipper?

When things are moved around the house, it looks like Ben gets curious about it.

He brings them back to their place.

Hey, you. The humans of this house have disappeared. Do you know something?
