Ikeda Terumasa Splendid job!
You’ve answered all the questions, and you are worthy to receive the Phantom Treasure.
What? There was nothing? Hahaha.
The Phantom Treasure is not silver and gold after all.
The treasure is the people you’ve met along the way; our predecessors who built Himeji Castle with its deep history; the legend of the Phantom Treasure that should be passed on for years to come.
Don’t forget.

Princess Sen Amazing! Seems like you’ve gotten the Phantom Treasure, but it appears you haven’t found the Legendary Treasure. Actually, I was entrusted with another letter from your father. He wanted me to give it to you when you found the Phantom Treasure.

Princess Sen How was the letter? Please search the castle for the Legendary Treasure.
Mmm? Why do I know about your father? That’s…

Before finishing her sentence, Princess Sen vanished.
You took the letter that was given to you and went to the place mentioned at Himeji Castle, in search of this “Legendary Treasure”.
