== Notebook ==
* Every year on the final day of the Anniversary Festival, rumor has it Revache holds the Schwarze Auction. It's one of the many symptoms of Crossbell's corruption and one of the biggest barriers standing before us.
* The chief warned us to not get involved. However, since we managed to get an invitation, we agreed it wasn't a chance we could afford to pass up.
* We arrived at Mishelam. While it goes without saying that we need to scope out Speaker Hartmann's mansion, let's also check other places in Mishelam, too.
* Stopped by the mansion. It looks like Revache is in charge of security. We need to be careful so they don't recognize us.
* I heard some kind of voice in front of the mansion. Was it my imagination?
* Though we have an invitation, we'll need some kind of plan so we can enter the auction incognito.
* We should go somewhere to relax. Let's check if the hotel has any open rooms.
* The hotel didn't have any rooms available, but Wazy offered to let us use his room. Let's follow him up.
* Two of us will attend the auction. We'll need formal clothes so we don't draw attention to ourselves. Let's head to the boutique.
* Elie and I will be attending the auction, pretending to be a noblewoman and her commoner boyfriend. Let's get changed and head to the auction.
* Tio and I will be attending the auction, pretending to be naive noble siblings. Let's get changed into more appropriate attire and head to the auction.
* Randy and I will be attending the auction, pretending to be a strait-laced noble rich kid and his ne'er-do-well friend. Let's get changed and head to the auction.
* We got in without incident. Let's patrol the mansion.
* We found a room that seems to be the storage area for the auction items. I thought I heard the voice again, like I did before.
* It's time for the auction to start. Let's head to the auction hall.
* In the auction hall, Wazy informed us that the war hounds in the courtyard had suddenly gone to sleep. Something's about to happen, so let's search the mansion now.
* We found mafiosos passed out in front of the storage room. Inside, we found Yin.
* After swiftly dealing with the mafiosos inside, Yin stated there was a 'bomb' in the back room and left.
* In the back room, I heard the voice again. What could be here?
* When I searched the trunk in the back, there was a doll inside. Or so I thought. It was actually a girl!
* Her name is KeA, but she can't remember anything else. But that doesn't matter right now! Our first priority needs to be getting her safely out of here!!!
* Garcia is in the entrance hall. We can't escape that way.
* We ran into Lechter in the speaker's room. Thanks to him and his misdirection, we managed to hide from the mafiosos that were pursuing us, and they bought his lie about spotting us outside. We need to use this chance to make a break for the entrance now.
* We escaped from the mansion and regrouped with the other SSS members. The ferry back should be leaving now--let's get to the dock!
* We missed the ship and were cornered by Garcia, but Chief Sergei appeared in a small small orbal boat and helped us escape right in the nick of time.
* The Schwarze Auction case is closed, and for the time being, the SSS will look after KeA.
