Alright here's what I think I've figured out in case anybody is looking for this bit of information.
"Where can I find the girl?"
"Where can I find Laranora?"
(I entered both questions for those who use the search thread feature looking for this information)
If you are looking for the girl to find the CG's, you'll only ever find them either during the Evening or at Night. There's actually a time limit and it depends on how often you go in and out of buildings/ change map it will go from Evening to Night without prior notice. I wish there was a day/ night cycle timer/ countdown sort of thing but there isn't from what I've seen. However, you'll know once you've ran out of that time that shifts from Evening to Night once little speech information pops up at the bottom left of the screen which means you missed the opportunity to find that scene CG during Evening/ Night when ever that may be. At night once those speech bubbles pop up it means you missed the CG scene and must to go bed, there's no point in looking farther because once those speech bubbles pass the opportunity for the night is gone and you'll have to fail in the dungeon again to try and look for it over again.
To sort've circumvent that I recommend saving after every time you fail the dungeon in the Afternoon, and then scope around the town to find the CG events. You can find them literally anywhere and I don't know if they are random. If you fail to find it and it switches to Night automatically, open up your in-game menu and quit back to the title screen, and load the save again and start looking from where ever you last checked. I recommend coming up with a system of checking places such as if you start in the primary part of the town (the part of the town where you stay at the Inn for example) then systematically check every building and every room you can think of that you haven't checked yet, and check-mark the places off that you've checked till you find the CG.
For the Night cycle you do the same thing. But again once the speech bubbles pop up it means it's time to go to bed and you missed the opportunity to find the CG if you haven't already.
If you progressed enough in the story to notice that you've done all of that and no matter what you STILL can't find any CG events, it means you'll have to progress in the dungeon to basically start the "Next Chapter" of the story, which means you will have to progress far enough in the dungeon to defeat a "Floor Boss" or "Floor Stratum Boss" to advance the story. After that you should be able to start finding those CG's again in a rinse & repeat pattern for Evening/ Night cycles.
I have no idea if there are any CG's during the day/ morning, but that's as much so far as I've managed to figure out I think. I hope this information helps others.
As for how to clear up the fog in Laranora's "Secret Status" page, I still have no clue so hopefully someone can shine a light on this before it takes me too long to figure that out myself.
edit: Well, I've figured out how to clear up that fog on Laranora's "Secret Status" screen. You have to progress enough in the Dungeon to defeat the first two floor bosses.
