I have got this game today, so I decided to upload a short gameplay including cutscenes 1-4 and Puzzle No. 001.

Translation:
Descole: Long time ago, in a certain town, troops from an opposing nation attacked. In the town, the enemy soldiers were all mixed together. Among the confusion, a lone girl began to play her flute. When the sound of the flute echoed into the sky, the form of a terrible Majin appeared. The Majin became the faithful servant of the girl who called it, and obliterated the enemy soldiers, protecting the town. The people called it "The Majin's Flute" and made it the town's treasure.
Interesting story, isn't it?
Butler: Yes, it is.
Descole: Well then, shall we begin? A new game...
Butler: Yes, master.
Layton: Will it really appear tonight?
Luke: Probably...
Emmy: A huge "Majin" appears and destroys the city. Sounds like a fairytale to me. Are you sure this is real?
Layton: Well, who knows?
Emmy: And that strange child's prophecy.
As I expected, the professor is always surrounded by puzzles, isn't he?
Layton: Huh? Emmy, do you hear something?
Emmy: This...! The sound of a flute!?
Luke: The Majin's Flute...
Layton: It cannot be!
Emmy: It really appeared!!
Layton: This is...
Emmy: Majin!?
A great black figure destroys the town. This unthinkable strange event is where Layton and I reunited. It began on that day.
PROLOGUE: A Reunion with Professor Layton
Rosa: Ah!
Mailman: Good morning!
Rosa: Thank you very much.
Professor! Professor!! Professor, a letter came for you.
Layton: Thank you, Rosa.
Rosa: Did you stay up all night working again? If you work too hard, the old professors will be cross with you again.
Layton: I've seen from them that I'm really still a greenhorn.
Rosa: If you work yourself too hard "because you're young," I don't know what to do anymore. Ah, now that you say that, I've got this story about Dean Delmona...
Layton: Clark? This is... What on earth could this mean? I'm going out for a bit, Rosa.
Thank you, Rosa.
Rosa: Come back safely, professor.
Layton: Uuaah!
You! Isn't that dangerous!
Emmy: It's been a while! Professor!
Layton: You are...?
Emmy: You didn't hear from Dean Delmona?
Layton: I did not.
Emmy: From today, I'll be your assistant, I was appointed at the research office. I'm Emmy Altava.
Nice to meet you!
Layton: My... assistant?
Emmy: Of course!
Layton: Mrs. Altava, I think it's a mistake, but an assistant...
Emmy: I'm Emmy! Please call me Emmy.
Layton: Then, Emmy, I am not in a position to have an assistant yet.
Emmy: It's useless, professor, this was Dean Delmona's decision.
Moreover, you're so busy that your submissions to the academic world must be piling up, right?
Layton: That's, true...
Emmy: The professor definitely needs an assistant!
From now on, Emmy Altava will back you up completely. Anyway, let's hurry. Professor!
Emmy: As I expected, the professor didn't remember anything of when we first met, but that's alright. From today, I'm his assistant, and even if it's unpleasant, he has to remember. And during things we experience from here on, especially this event, we will end up solving many puzzles together. When we meet "that child".
Emmy: Well, what kind of strange thing happened this time?
Layton: Oh? What makes you think something happened?
Emmy: Because, since you're heading so quickly to your destination, something really big must have happened.
Layton: Hehe..., looks like you've got some good intuition there.
Emmy: ...This is?
Layton: Read it, it's a letter that arrived at my address today.
Emmy: "To the respectable and famous Layton. I selected you because I anticipated that your talent could handle this request.
This is not a joke. I would like you to calm yourself and listen.
The truth is, a major event where a puzzling huge figure appears on dark, foggy nights and destroys buildings in our town is taking place.
If it's you, I'm sure you can put a halt to this dreadful state of affairs. I am awaiting your arrival at my home."
This! It says that a great figure is destroying the town... Seriously!?
Layton: I'm sure the extraordinary contents of that letter is hard to believe. However, since it caught my interest, I've been thinking, that there's one more message hidden within this letter.
Emmy: Eh... one more message...?
did you buy this game? or you downloaded on to a r4 or something?

Remi: Eh... one more message?
"Correct! The message hidden in the letter was "please help." What on earth could that mean?"
(PHEW, THAT WAS SO LONG.)
