Need help with Substory 37, 'Death of the Author,' in Like a Dragon: Ishin!? Find out where to start and the correct answers to help Natsumi Sosaku.
Alright, so you're looking to tackle Substory 37, huh? This one's called 'Death of the Author' and it's a pretty straightforward one that pops up in Chapter 2. Once you've done a bit of the main story and rescued that Shinto Priest who teaches you about Virtue, you'll be able to start poking around for substories. Just head back to the Teradaya inn, go up to the second floor, and make your way to the dead end. You'll hear someone yelling, so go check it out – that's your cue!
You'll meet this guy, Natsumi Sosaku, who's apparently a writer struggling with his latest work. He's going to ask you for some ideas, and your job is to give him the right ones. This whole thing is split into three parts, and you gotta nail each one to finish it up. He'll explain his book situation, then ask for your input. Get the answers right, and you'll snag some goodies and clear the quest.
Here's the kicker: after each question you answer, you need to actually leave the Teradaya inn and then come back in, heading straight to his room again. He'll chat about how the last part went, and if you picked the correct answer, you'll get your reward. Don't worry, I've got the correct answers right here for you:
Part 1: 'A cat might be funny.'
Part 2: 'Botch-chan!'
Part 3: 'Heart'
Once you've given him the 'Heart' answer for the third part, just leave the inn and head back to his room one last time, and you'll be all done with this substory. Easy peasy!
