Kamedeya's daughter, Aoi, was the one who first sent you to investigate the castle, right?

I have a hunch her father was brainwashed. We need something to snap him out of it. Here, take the to Aoi. I think it will help Kamedeya snap back to his normal self.

Hurry. She will be so happy.

Aoi is probably frantic with worry. Get some rest and then please talk to me.

Was I right?! Is there something strange going on at the castle?!

(You hand the to Aoi and explain everything that happened.)

So the Castellan was a fake?! And my father is being brainwashed?! I knew it! Hmm, the should snap him out of it.

The holds tremendous sentimental value. I made it for him so he'd have something to rest his arms on while fishing. The fake emperor must've stolen it from him when they went fishing together! Once he sees it, I'm positive my father will return to his normal self!

You can obtain the when you defeat the Phantom of the Giant Ghost Ship. If you have acquired it, go talk to Aoi.
