Thirty-Eighth Journal Entry

[A surprised sound; the communicator is dropped with a clatter. A scuffle as it is picked up again, and a pause before Layton starts speaking.]This recent relative peace is quite enjoyable; however, with the cold weather, if anyone still needs warmer clothing, you can always try looking in the public inventory at Mariner High School

Ah! Yes? What is it?

[puzzledprof]

You speak Japanese, don't you, Fin?

[fallenfishes]

Mhm! I Fin speaks all earthly languages!

[puzzledprof]

I can't help but notice that a large proportion of this city speaks only Japanese. I don't want to be cut off from communicating with them because of the language barrier; using the text function isn't always an option. So I was wondering if you could teach me the language, if that's alright with you.

What a shame. After the correct answer has already been given, there's no real reason to contribute my own.

[puzzledprof]

Well, there's no need to look at the other answers if you're trying to solve it. Even knowing the answer, attempting to find them all is a good exercise.

[silk_scales]

I see 11! 11! Am I right? Did I get it right?

And... what do you need to tell Fin?

[puzzledprof]

A bit more than that, my boy, but you're on the right track as far as finding the hidden triangles goes.

Nothing terribly serious -- just something involving the language barrier that divides this city in two in some ways.

[silk_scales]

But I got close? I'll look at it harder!

Oh, she should know a lot of languages. I know several too!

[puzzledprof]

If you'd like a hint, just tell me.

Oh? What languages do you know?

I thought that kid seemed familiar...

[puzzledprof]

...I'll protect him better this time.

[daddyslilpyro]

I know you will, Professor.
