Follow our guide to easily complete Substory 43, 'It's a Long Story,' in Like a Dragon: Ishin! Get all the correct answers and rewards.

Alright, so you've just finished up with that whole priest business and unlocked the Virtue system in Chapter 2. Now that you're free to roam Fushimi, let's dive into one of the more… talkative substories. Head down to the southwest part of Fushimi, to the South Yashikimachi area. Look for the Hanako shop, and just around the western side of that building, you'll find two ladies chatting. One of them, Sakiko, is doing most of the talking, and after she's done, you'll want to speak to her to kick off this substory.

So, Sakiko knows she's a bit of a chatterbox, and hearing it from a neighbor was apparently enough to make her want to quiz you. She'll hit you with three questions, and you'll want to get them all right to finish this up smoothly. Here are the correct answers for the first part of 'It's a Long Story':

  • Bamboo shoots
  • Outside a tea shop
  • Sakiko

After you've listened to her and answered correctly, you'll get your rewards. To start the next part of this substory chain, just pop into the nearest building, exit it, and then head back to where you found Sakiko. She'll be ready for another round of questions.

Now, for the second part, 'It's a Long Story: The Final Chapter.' Head back to Sakiko, and she'll have more questions for you. Get these right, and you'll be one step closer to finishing this whole ordeal:

  • Red, white and green
  • Amazake
  • Sumire

And finally, the last one, 'It's a Long Story: Epilogue.' Yep, you guessed it – back to Sakiko again. She's not done talking yet! Make sure you nail these last few answers:

  • A scarecrow
  • Pickled daikon
  • A tuna
