Going back to Chapter 1, Scene 1.


 * Hanne finds the portrait of Mikulia and immediately understands why Yukina and Kyle had their reactions. Just then, the librarian comes up about it being rare that they have visitors.


 * Hanne: "You the librarian here?" The man nods.


 * Gatt: "Are you interested in the portrait?"


 * Hanne says she isn't (I think) and then introduces herself. As she explains why she's there, Gatt cuts her off to explain he already heard from the mayor that she's looking for info on Flower of the Plateau.


 * Since Hanne went straight from the mayor's home to there, the narration notes how quickly word got around. The librarian offers for her to look around the old vaults for her info.


 * Hanne fulfilled her objective of confirming the face in the picture but it would look odd if she left after just doing that, and be a bit rude, so she took up the offer.


 * The librarian says he'll just be doing some cleaning/sweeping over there and to call him if she needed anything. He then headed towards the reception desk.


 * Upon entering the library vault, she began looking for a book likely related to Flower of the Plateau. Finding books from Mikulia's lifetime, circa 100-200s weren't hard to find.


 * But when it comes to facts from 400 years ago, the documents were too old in the great library in the capital. Despite this one once being royal, it we be even moreso in a remote library like this.


 * Reluctantly, Hanne tried looking for something newer, so she went through books from circa 300 onward. While flipping through one book, Hanne stopped. This book, unlike the others, had so many illustrations.


 * The title was "Evillious Travels" by the minstrel, Zenos Jaques.

Excerpt:

-It happened when I had gone to the town of Gasto to see the rumored white men. I met two women there. Although I didn't stop to think much about it at the time, I thought I noticed one them was very similar to someone. I knew who it was for certain two months later, when I arrived at the town of Demilamb. The moment I picked up one of hte bounties that were scattered here and there, It realized it. There was no doubt that that girl with pigtails was Phantom Thief Platonic. I immediately went to Elphegort's Calgaround. I knew it. Platonic's identity was in fact the daughter of the Calgaround family. And the Earl was offering a reward if someone provided information on Platonic, This is where the funds for my journey were also exhausted. And because I thought it would be good pocket money...... To state only the results, my speculations didn't work at all. Amazingly, Platonicreturning to her original name at that time-washed her feet of the thieviing trade and already returned home herself. That girl didn't seem to remember me, however, and only smiled with a glass of red wine in her hands. Although I wrote the song called "Platonic and the Wine Glass" for this event, I only sang it six times since the reputation wasn't so good--

More to go but a small break:
