Why is Tsuyu here, really?

You’re given nine possible characters to choose from:

  1. Yuza Minakuchi
  2. Azami Kumoi
  3. Tsukasa Awao
  4. Shotaro Wakamura
  5. Yumeko Shiki
  6. Sodo Kiryu
  7. Arnav Barnum
  8. Circe Lunarlight
  9. Tsuyu Minakuchi

Each character can perform one of three actions, and selecting the wrong combination won’t immediately lock you out. If you make a mistake, the Storyteller will guide you back and hint that you only need to focus on the essential characters.

Circe Lunarlight.

To successfully complete the chapter, you only need two characters:

  • Circe Lunarlight — Use Shikigami
  • Sodo Kiryu — Use Feast of Shadows
Sodo Kiryu.

This pairing is the key. Circe’s Shikigami allows her to target the cursed business cards, while Sodo’s Feast of Shadows amplifies her ability. When combined, their powers retract all of the cursed cards and transform them into harmless paper butterflies, preventing Kippei from activating his deadly curse.
