Rance 01:Walkthrough

Introduction
The story begins with Rance receiving his latest job from Keith at the guild: locate Hikari, the daughter of a prestigious family in Leazas. When you arrive, Rance sends Sill off to gather information by infiltrating Hikari's school as a student. Too late he realizes that she has all their money.
 * Play through the initial tutorial as you follow the road to the town.
 * You can stroll around Leazas for a little while if you like, but it won't get you very far - you can't track Sill down at the academy, nothing of interest is happening at the bar, and the town square just gives Rance a couple of (CG-less) peeping opportunities.
 * Eventually night will fall, so make your way to the inn.  The innkeeper Nami doesn't know anything about Hikari, but she does still expect to be paid for the night; Rance puts up his sword as collateral, leaving you weaponless for the moment.  Poke around your room and try unsuccessfully to score with Nami if you want, then go to sleep.
 * The next morning Nami wil suggest the item shop as a possible source of info, adding it to the map, so make your way there.
 * Patty the shopkeeper doesn't know anything about Hikari either, but she suggests that her friend Millie at the weapon shop might.
 * Millie likewise has no specific information, but does refer to a band of thieves who've been kidnapping girls; she says the man who runs the bar in town had his daughter taken by them.
 * He confirms this when you go talk to him.  Figuring he can kill several birds with one stone (get paid, rescue a girl, follow up a lead on Hikari), Rance offers to help.  The barkeep gives him 100G as a down payment.
 * For whatever reason, you can't use this money to pay Nami and get your sword back, so equip yourself at Millie's shop.
 * You can go to the academy and shake Sill down for an additional 50G (she spent the rest on her entrance fee), although this still isn't enough to buy very much.
 * Around this time you'll start running into a girl (Kanami) after leaving an area.  She seems to panic and run away when she sees Rance.
 * The first time, Rance makes a note to ask her out the next time he sees her.
 * He doesn't have any more luck the second time; once she's out of range, Kanami expresses shock that Rance could detect her.
 * The third time, he manages to talk to her.  Realizing that he's just a lecher, and not some highly-trained enemy agent, she asks him to meet her in the park at night.
 * If you go to this meeting, Rance tries to put the moves on her; suddenly, she disrobes into ninja garb, puts a knife to his throat, and warns him to drop his investigation of Hikari.  She then leaves - with your purse.
 * Head outside the city to go to the thieves' hideout.  Note that going there during the day or night will force you into an engagement with lookout thieves, and will be hard to win.  If you go during the afternoon they'll be at lunch, at which point you can enter easily.
 * Once you're in, there will be a room that has an enemey that acts as a doorkeeper to the lower levels of the hideout.  He must be defeated to proceed down the set of stairs.
 * Further in there is the Thief Leader's room, which is not accessible unless you have a key, which the Thief Leader's second in command does.  However, she won't give it to you unless you fetch her some grapewine that's in the area.  She'll hand over the keys once you find it and deliver it to her.
 * You also get an H-scene for giving her the other wine bottle [needs clarity on bottle name]
 * Head to the Thief Leader's room and beat him.  You'll have an H-scene with the bar owner's daughter.  Head back into the town bar and they will reunite, and you will also be rewarded with gold as well.
 * After a certain time, Kanami will attack you again for ignoring her warning of dropping the investigation of Hikari.  Defeat her, and she'll run towards the castle.  Rance runs after her, only to be blocked by the guards (who scoff that a ninja would be in Leazas).
 * In order to go through the castle, you will need a Castle Passage Note to go through (which, coincidentally, Sill has from her academy).  You will need to make sure that Sill is NOT at the academy (and encounter Sill's "friend" instead).  Go to the park at noon time where you will find Sill feeding a dog.  You will be able to get the Castle Passage Note from her there.
 * Around this point you should already have access to the info store (after some dialog between the other places).  Generally you can ask the robot for girls you can H, and it will list the specs of all of them (Attacks, special moves, lucky numbers, and when to engage them.)
 * The robot also sells 3 items that you can repurchase once used:
 * An anywhere door screen(Allows you to access your storage box while inside a dungeon)
 * Save Lion (Allows you save while inside the dungeon)
 * Weekly Hit Points (Allows you see how much HP the enemy has.  It is shown through the Battle Log at the start of battle.)  This item can also be consumed to restore 50% of your HP.
 * The robot will also have new options depending on how far you have gone through the game.
 * At some point after rescuing the bar owner's daughter, if you go at night you will meet with Hazuki, who's a dealer at the casino inside Leazas Castle.  One of the dialogue options allows you bet 100G on a 50-50 gambling game.  Keep doing this several times and she'll offer you to play at higher stakes and hands you her business card.
 * Once you enter the castle grounds, a new isometric map is before you. The guest room of the castle replaces the functions of the inn outside the castle.
 * In order to get into the casino (Hong Kong Macao), you need to bring with you the business card that Hazuki gave you at the bar to go in.  You'll need at least 500G to challenge her.
 * (More walkthrough to come)
 * Another venue here is the coliseum.  When Rance sees the rankings and sees "Ninja Master", he is reminded of Kanami and wants to punish her, so he decides to join the tournament.  Unfortunately he does not have a Invitation which is exclusive given by the King.  At this point, you will get a new explore location, the "Throne Room".
 * In the Throne Room, you will meet with the King and Queen of Leazas, where the King is rather crazy.  Do not, under any circumstances, choose the "Attack the King" or "Attack the Queen" option twice.  Rance will attempt to usurp the throne, which will cause an instant death and GAME OVER.
 * Talk about wanting to participate in the Coliseum several times.  The king will babble on, and a new option will appear (Keep talking with the king until Noon/Night).  Once that option appears, just leave and go outside the castle.  Go to the I, NET (Info shop) and you will see a new option appear that allows you to obtain information on how to get a Coliseum Invitation (this info is free).
 * The robot will tell you to talk to Menado, the girl who is guarding the castle gate.  Apparently, she has one of those, but can't use it as she's part of the Leazas guard now.  Rance will ask her for it, and she agrees under one condition: to exterminate the zombies in the graveyard.  You will get a new location outside the castle called "Heroes' Graveyard", which can only be accessed at night.
