Furthermore, Nothing But Requiem has produced 'Profound Anguish,' the theme song for this main story's Anguish Arc. The song expresses the feelings of the maidens as they struggle and suffer while pursuing the true boy's soul.

### Prologue
--Welcome back.
Though the maidens heard the true boy's voice...
His presence was still nowhere to be found in his mansion.
--It can't just be my imagination.
The familiar pocket watch also corroborates the maidens' feelings.
For some reason, imbued with the true boy's presence.
When a surprisingly unexpected presence opens a path to hope,
A new guidepost is brought to the maidens!
But the glimmer of hope they finally found also contained a desperate truth...

Copen's accidentally discovered treasure map.
Who left it, and for what purpose?
The soul of the legendary warrior residing in Copen's hat declares, 'The time has come.'
The group's treasure hunt takes them to a severely cold snowy mountain.
Copen's cheerful personality encourages the true boy through any harsh path.
Even if they freeze from the cold, it's no big deal.
Will a treasure or something else await them on their journey, as two—no, three—or even four-legged companions?
