There are four Cyrille's to rescue in this final box puzzle, but if you remember to rescue them as you go along, you'll have a far easier time working out the solution.
For quick reference, here's how to solve the Fool's Box puzzle during Part 3 of 'Vessel of Mediocrity':
Push the box directly in front of you forward three timesPush the box below the top-left Cyrille to the right onceRescue Cyrille Push the box to the right of where Cyrille was to the right oncePush the box above the top-right Cyrile to the right twiceIgnore the top-right Cyrille for now and make your way back to where you rescued the first Cyrille and push the box that would have been below her down oncePush the box to the left of the bottom-most Cyrille down onceRescue Cyrille Push the box directly above you forward once (not the box beside the bottom Cyrille)Push the box below the top Cyrille to the right onceRescue Cyrille Push the box to the left of the remaining Cyrille down onceRescue CyrilleAfter finishing the box puzzle, open the chest beside the Guardian Shadow to get two 4-Star pieces of the Thief of Shooting Meteor Relic set, which increases the Break effect of attacks.
You might want to add a Physical attacker to your party at this point, as after you speak to the Guardian Shadow you'll have to battle against enemies who are all vulnerable to Physical. Using Wind, Quantum, or Fire characters can help too.
Once the battle is over, head to the Administrative District in Belobog's Overworld and speak with Manya outside of Serval's workshop to complete the 'Vessel of Mediocrity' Adventure Mission.
