Chapter 1 Mysterious Labyrinthia

???: ............ ...Luke... Wake up, my boy.

Luke: Uh, umm... Eh? Professor?

Layton: Good. I'm glad to see you're awake.

Luke: Ugh...yeah. Glad to be back...

Layton: Are you feeling all right?

Luke: Um, yeah, I'm fine. A bit drowsy though... I guess I just fell asleep all of a sudden. ............Ah! Wait, now I remember! Professor, what happened with the witches?! And...where exactly are we?!

Layton: Well, Luke, I've only just woken up myself. We've been here in this horse-drawn wagon since I awoke.

Luke: H-how did we end up asleep in a wagon?!

Layton: That is something we must now find out. First of all, where are we? And secondly, where are we being taken? There's another passenger over there. Let's start by asking her.

Luke: Good thinking, Professor!

Horse-Drawn Wagon

Wagon Driver: Hee-hee, so you finally woke up, did you? I was wondering what to do with you both... I was starting to think you'd never wake up.

Luke: E-excuse me, but...where is it that we're going?

Wagon Driver: Me-oh-my! You didn't get into this wagon without knowing where it's headed, did you?

Layton: Well, in truth, we only just became aware that we were in here. Until just a moment ago, we were at Tower Bridge, in London. I'm afraid we have no recollection of having boarded this wagon.

Wagon Driver: Hee-hee, you certainly say the strangest things. You're both still half asleep, aren't you?

Luke: Half asleep...? Of course not!

Wagon Driver: As far as I remember, you've both been in this wagon from the very start.

Luke: There's no way that's right! And besides...

Wagon Driver: Now, now, don't get so worked up, sonny. You'll upset the other passengers. I know nothing about the two of you, except from what I've seen. My job is just to carry my passengers... ...to that town.

Layton: A town, you say...?

Wagon Driver: Well looky here, it's just come into sight! Why not take a peek out, hmm?

Layton: ............

Knight: Captain! All present and accounted for, sir!

Captain: Ahem! I want you to keep it in mind, men, that the peace of this town is in your hands. Never forget that no matter what happens, the people look to you to keep the peace! We proud knights of the order will always protect the people!

Knight: Yes, sir! For honour and glory!

Cecil & Petal (Cecil): Captain, Captain!

Captain: Hmm...? What can I do for you, my little ones?

Cecil & Petal (Cecil): I want to join the order of knights and patrol the streets like you!

Captain: Ha ha! That's an upstanding ambition, lad. Perhaps, when you're a little bigger...

Cecil & Petal (Cecil): Yes, sir! I'll do my very best to grow up as soon as I can, sir!

Captain: Hmm. I like your spirit, young man! Be seeing you.

Cecil & Petal (Petal): Oh, you look so pleased with yourself! You don't really think a weakling like you could join the order of knights, do you?

Cecil & Petal (Cecil): Hey, that's not a nice thing to say. Every boy wants to be a knight...

Bardly: Oh, what can he do, For one sweet as you? This bardly bard called Bardly♪

Muffet: Could you sing me a wittle song? Something womantic, to melt my heart?

Bardly: Oh, fair maiden, the pleasure is mine. A worthy song, for a love such as thine♪ Oh, the love in your heart, And the love in your head, Is full and warm, like freshly baked bread♪

Muffet: ...Sweeeeet!

Luke: P-Professor! Look at those people over there! They're all wearing period costumes. I've never seen that in London!

Layton: Hmm...you're right, Luke. This town would appear to resemble the one we saw pictured in that book... Although I'm somewhat puzzled as to how we have ended up here...

???: There is nothing strange about any of this...

Layton: ............!

Luke: Ah! You're the passenger from the wagon.

???: The fact that we are here now is a predetermined turn of events.

Luke: Wh-what do you mean?! We were just brought here from outside...

???: This "outside" of which you speak... Just what exactly are you referring to?

Luke: Huh? Well, I mean London, of course...

???: There is no such place. Nor is there any such thing as an "outside". Not here...not in Labyrinthia...

Layton: ............! Labyrinthia...

Luke: Wh-what?! You mean this is really Labyrinthia? Even so, that doesn't mean that London doesn't exist! If we went back the way we came, we'd be bound to come across it eventually!

???: If you don't believe me, then why don't you take a look with your own eyes?

Luke: Ahh?! Professor! The gate is gone!

Layton: ............?!

Luke: The gate we came through was right behind us, wasn't it?

Layton: Hmm...yes, it certainly was there.

Luke: So if that's the case, why does no one around here seem surprised? Seeing such a big gate disappear like that... H-hey...where did she go?

Layton: This is most perplexing...

Luke: What's going on here...?

Layton: If this really is Labyrinthia, then... Could it be that we have somehow ended up inside that book...?

Luke: You mean the book Espella was showing us, don't you? The Historia Labyrinthia...

Layton: That's right, Luke. Do you recall what happened to us at Tower Bridge?

Luke: Well, I remember when that book started glowing. But after that, I'm totally blank...

Layton: ............

Luke: Professor...you don't think we've somehow been pulled inside that book, do you?

Layton: It's a bit early to be drawing conclusions just yet, my boy. There are quite a few people around here. Let's start off by asking a few questions.
