Storming the Fort
Everybody's stats before we enter Kanako's fort. Everyone except for Dongs is packing ホワイトロック "Whiterock" which is a unique ranged weapon that hits everyone for damage around STR*2 with some AGI influence. It replaced the weapon ROCK. Take note Sasami's absurd statistics. She has no armor equipped but has 24 DEF, and has capped Mana and has more STR and AGI than anyone else. Sasami also has the 結界 "Border" spell which is very powerful. Unfortunately we have no influence on what skills get learned and deleted =/ Nor does the game actually inform you about it (something FFL2 fixed).
Inside the castle, you'll see Komachi sprites. Walking into them triggers a fight. In this room, you'll need to go around and find a smaller house guarded by a Komachi.
オンバシラ を 手に入れた
Obtained ONBASHIRA
The Onbashira acts as a key to the doors in this dungeon. However, if you equip it, it'll act as an unlimited use shield with 30% evasion and providing a Thunder-elemental barrier to the entire party.
Going up, this room contains nothing useful. It's empty.
The floor above the previous one has a nice treasure cache containing a ゴシックドレス "Gothic Dress," a ニトリの火薬 "Nitori's Gunpowder," and a 生命の書 "Life Book." The Gothic Dress is the first major armor you get from a chest, while Nitori's gunpowder is a one-group attack dealing a fixed range of damage. The dress goes on Kurumi while the powder goes on Setsumi. Meanwhile, we replace Sasami's Yuri Cannon with the Life Book.
These two rooms actually serve as a hint to let you know how to solve the puzzle in the next room:
. It's kind of silly when you think about it - why would someone put hints to their own puzzle mechanism storing their own treasure?

"Power" was obtained!
八坂「神をも 畏れぬとは いい どきゅうだ・・ 覚悟！」
Kanako: Can't gods also have a break without fear... Hmph... Prepare yourself!
Well, someone's mad.
I'll cut to the chase and show you the power of the Glass Sword:
366 damage on one hit. It didn't do as much as I'd wanted it to do, but 33% of her HP iin one attack is already a LOT (she has 900).
Sasami's spellslinging and more attacks from the others put quick work of Kanako.
She then disappears without a trace...
Now we have to get the other powerful orb, from Suwasuwa.
守矢「なぞなぞ。 この 夏の世界に 冬の忘れ物が あります これ なんだ？ 答えの品を もってこれたら すてきなパワーを プレゼントするよっ」
Suwako: Riddle me this. In the world of Summer, there was something Winter left behind. What is it? Show me the item and I'll give you a beautiful power as a present.
Once we get the item she's looking for...
守矢「見せて 見せて！ ・・もってきた 物は・・ おお！ お見事！ 正解よ！ これを あなたに プレゼント！ 早速 使っちゃおう！」
Suwako: Let me see, let me see! Your item... is... Oh! Congratulations! It's the correct one! Here is your present! Quickly use it!
