Mystery-solving treasure hunt - 5

[City]

Tam: Fuhahaha! Our team really lucked out! We have Sonoko the genius and Sumi the prodigy!

Fuu: The clue is "Amidst the illusions, where those who draw no breath gather. The treasure is in the heart of the beast that keeps roaring with naught a thought".

Sek: Eeh? What's that supposed to mean?

Mit: Even if that sentence is supposed to be a clue, I have no idea what it's supposed to mean...

Uta: Don't give up! We need to pile on ideas. Illusions... Fantasies... I got it, it means an amusement park!

Chi: Was there even an amusement park around here?

Uta: Certainly was! I saw it myself. There were rides on the rooftop of the mall and stuff.

Yuu: Ah, you mean those tiny 100-yen rides for kids?

Mit: I don't think that amusement centre is particularly fantastic or anything...

Uta: Umm... Guess I was wrong... Fuu-san, por favor!

Fuu: Say... We're not going to have to go to a haunted house once we solve this mystery... Right?

Sum: The writing is a little ominous, but I don't think it has anything to do with haunted houses.

Sek: Ah, but the "those who draw no breath" part does make you think of ghosts. Pres, you're so smart!

Fuu: Eek! So we really are heading into horror territory now!? I was almost excited but that's it, I'm going home!

Chi: We don't have Itsuki-san here, so would you refrain from saying stuff that will cause trouble?

Tak: Sumi-chan, any ideas?

Sum: Me? Um... Illusions, beast... I don't know. I'm not very good at making associations...

Sek: Well that's a problem. If even our prodigy is stumped, the rest of us sure don't have a chance.

Tam: Don't think about it too hard. Worst comes to worst, we'll just follow the other team's tracks.

Uta: Uwaa, you're actually considering to stoop so lowly?

Tam: Nothing lowly about that! We'll just have them guide us a little. If we get close enough, Sumi'll probably get an inspiration too!

Sum: So-Sonoko-san, what now? If this continues, Tamako-san is going to use unthinkable means...

SON: Hmm... I'm still thinking.

Tak: Hey, Gun-chan. You solve mysteries in games a lot, right? Do you have any guesses?

Chi: Y-Yeah... Puzzles like this come up in adventure games pretty often...

Tak: I knew it! I'm counting on you, good luck!

Tam: What!? Chikage, you got it?

Mit: It's in your hands, Koori-san.

Fuu: I can't think of anything when I'm scared, so I'll have to leave it to you. Thanks!

Chi: T-The mystery... is solved, somehow.
