Life is not always as it seems
Hanako
It is vital to appreciate the moment when we encounter someone or even nature. The next element, "once in a lifetime" expresses this idea. It means a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Bring a daily calendar to symbolize this.
The calendar you brought reminds me of cherry blossom viewing. Every year, the cherry blossoms bloom for only a short period of time, giving us an irreplaceable moment to enjoy their beauty. We cannot afford to lose this!
-
written or statutory law
Hanako
One of the elements that will restore the cherry tree is respect, or reverence. I think I know what will help save the magic tree. Bring me the tablet with the old law engraved on it.
These stone tablets are inscribed with rules for living a peaceful and harmonious life. These laws reflect a respect for nature, tradition, and culture. Particular emphasis is placed on the respect for cherry trees.
-
clandestine meeting
Detective
Oh, how the first suspect helps to catch the culprit! The mistress wants me to bring her a lotus of hope, an item to put a memorable emotion into. Buddy, will you help me find it?
You found the lotus of hope! This flower was a sign that the Colonel and Miss Peacock were to meet secretly. She sent her maid with this flower to John and they met at a designated place.
-
Lover's Name
Mistress
I'm sick and tired of being accused of ridiculous things, especially when it's the daughter of a peacock! Especially when it's the daughter of a peacock! So, who is the wizard that is harassing you two? Fine, I'll help you remember. Go find the birdcage brooch.
Too late, did you find it? I'll infuse the Colonel's artifact with the memories and emotions associated with it. That way, it will help him retrieve his memories. The Colonel gave his daughter this birdcage brooch and gave her a joke name like "Miss Peacock".
-
The Garden in a Jar
Hanako
The element "nature" represents things as they are. It is important for things to remain as they are. Let's make an aquarium. Then I will explain its meaning to you.
You have created a wonderful aquarium! It is truly a miniature garden! It symbolizes naturalness and instead of changing the appearance of the cherry tree from the outside, it represents filling the tree with energy.
-
The Power of Imperfection
Hanako
Each cherry blossom is unique and every petal is different. It is this imperfection that gives cherry blossoms their enchanting beauty. Bring your own kintsugi vase to restore the "apologetic" energy of the cherry blossom.
You have brought a kintsugi vase! This symbolizes the "apology", the transience and imperfection that resides in the cherry tree. Cherry blossoms fall quickly, but that is what makes cherry trees so attractive.
-
Sacrifice Trophies
Lady Peacock
We know which trophies John needs to recover his past memories. Our love was doomed from the day the Colonel was given the badge of the Secret Intelligence Service. Please find it.
Thank you for finding my badge. My dear John has joined the British Secret Intelligence Service. In order to get my father's approval for our marriage, he wanted to get his hands on King Arthur's Glove. But as a result, he became a prisoner of the Avalon...
-
Trophies of Leadership
Inspector
Find the following trophies in the Double Deal collection to restore your memory of the Colonel. According to the archives records, there is a reference to his helmet when he first became a colonel. We'll examine every inch of it.
You found Colonel Gallahard's old helmet! This helmet saved the Colonel's life many times. Although it is old, it still holds the precious memories of when he started his service as a colonel.
-
Trophies of Trust
Inspector
For Mr. Gallahard to remember his past, he needs a trophy to honor his accomplishments. Once upon a time, the fog took away the deputy's title he wore and I added it to my rarities collection. Can you find it?
You have found the title of Colonel Gallahard. The colonel was appointed second in command by a British minister. This was just before he met Miss Peacock. Now, can you find the rest of the trophies?
-
train of thought
Isabelle
I borrowed a psychoanalyzer from my professor. This device can measure the Colonel's cognitive bias, whether it be physiological or magical. Let's activate the device and see the results.
Look at this! A purple mist is covering the screen... we are one step closer to solving the mystery, and we are becoming more and more convinced that magic is the cause of the amnesia.
-
Brain Activity
Isabelle
Your lab test results look good, but it's too early to rule out physiological factors as the cause of your memory loss. Let's use this scanner to test brain function. Can you help me hook it up?
Thanks for your help. Strange...brain scanner shows no abnormalities in Colonel Gallahard's brain activity. Why is he seeing purple fog? Let's continue with the examination.
-
Blood Secrets
Isabelle
I borrowed some equipment from the professor for Colonel Gallahard. Let's run some tests in the small lab. His blood may reveal something significant about his condition. Would you be willing to help me run the equipment?
Thanks for helping me get the small lab up and running. According to the test results, Colonel Gallahard's physical condition is fine, and it doesn't appear that the fog in the city is affecting him. Everything is within normal limits.
-
Seeking Harmony
Hanako
To save the magical cherry tree before the cherry blossom viewing, we need to heal the tree from within by restoring the energy that was lost with the cherry blossoms. First, let us find the symbol of harmony, harmony.
You have found a stacked stone, a symbol of harmony. Thank you! Harmony helps restore the symbiotic relationship between nature, humans, and spirits. This is one of the primary functions of the magical cherry tree.
-
Symptom collection
Isabelle
Rest assured. We will not spoil John Gallahard's memory. But first, we need to document his symptoms. I've prepared a questionnaire so we don't miss anything. Could you bring it to me?
Thanks! That describes an unusual symptom. The Colonel feels as if a purple fog is covering his memory. I wonder if it has something to do with the mysterious fog in the city?
-
eternal spring
Isabelle
Sometimes humans encroach on nature more than necessary. It is true. We even created a bonsai of cherry blossoms that never shed their blossoms. Bring the bonsai and show it to Haruhiko.
No flowers will fall from this magical bonsai. Man made it so. But this tree disturbs the harmony. We can admire it, but it will never bear fruit. It is not the best way to interfere with nature.
-
Unshakable Nature
Isabelle
Human-made things are superior to natural things. Haruhiko thinks that humans think so. But that is not true. I want him to find something that shows the superiority of nature.
Beautiful flowers! You have found an example of nature's superiority. No matter what man has created, nothing can come close to the perfection of what nature has made. That is why it is so important that we save our cherry trees.
-
The silent contemplation of beauty
Haruo
I'm surprised you refuse to pay. But we cannot let those who have no respect for nature save the cherry trees! Bring me an embroidered tapestry. As long as it has cherry blossoms on it, that's all that matters.
The cherry blossoms on this embroidered tapestry are as real as they come. More importantly, however, one would not be able to destroy this tapestry in the same way a human being would a cherry tree! Take this and leave me.
-
Real Wealth
Isabelle
What does Haruhiko think we are? How dare you think that the god of nature thought that mere money could buy his way to save the cherry trees. Let me tell you what wealth we value.
You brought the incense of meditation and showed Haruhiko what human spiritual richness is. Money can't replace it, that's why we want to save our magic cherry tree!
-
Value or Values.
Haruo
We know about human values. What you seek is wealth. If you recognize that, I will give you a vase of pure gold. See for yourself if it is real.
With this vase, you'll have unlimited wealth. No matter how much you take, you will never run out of pure gold inside. There is no shame in admitting that you have a greedy heart. If you accept it, the vase is yours.
-
great loss
Haruo
By the time I arrived, it was too late. The flowers had already been cut off and the cherry trees had begun to darken, having lost their vitality. Along the way, I met a man carrying a basket full of flowers and took it from him. Look at the basket of flowers.
To protect what the cherry tree had lost, I had taken away its flower basket! Man had squeezed out the essence of beauty that the cherry tree had produced, and the tiny petals had been reshaped by it! The mere thought of it is painful.
-
The Cherry Tree Cries
Haruo
An evil person came to the cherry tree and cut off the blossoms. A magical, defenseless flower! This human slowly cut away the heart of this tree. Find the evil tool. There must still be magic in it.
You found a bad tool. It still has the energy of the cherry tree. When the flower was cut off, I heard the cherry tree's cry. Begging for help. Oh, why didn't I get there in time?
-
guiding light
Haruo
How I regret that I could not come here before the magic cherry tree was cut down! But I know exactly how it happened! There were witnesses to this terrible event. See who it is.
Yes, it is. The witness is Asahi itself. Asahi's testimony is unquestionable. Asahi saw a human being cruelly cut down a cherry tree and told me about it.
-
Evil begets evil
Haruo
Here's what happened. Among the statues in the garden is that of an evil specter. The spirit was summoned here to satisfy the insidious desires of man. Do you not believe me? Just try to find the statue.
We know who brought the statue of the specter into the garden. Yes, the evil spirit knew how to grant wishes, but it was a human who made the wish. And that human is the one who cut down the cherry tree!
-
Magic mirror?
Haruo
That you really don't know what happened to the cherry tree? Or are you just pretending not to know? Well, all right, let me help you out. Someone left a cosmetic box in the tree. Find it and look into the mirror.
What did you see when you looked into the make-up box? It is enchanted, and the mirror reflects your true image. What do you mean it's no different than an ordinary mirror? Well, it seems that the magic has already worn off.
-
Cherry Charcoal
Isabelle
I picked one of the cherry blossom branches for analysis. Forgive me, Hanako. The branch is like charcoal, and the wood is probably burning from the inside. I also found something strange. Do you see it?
Yes, that's right. The blackened branches have obvious cut marks. It looks like someone cut the flowers off the tree. Could that be the cause of this disease?
-
uninvited guest
Hanako
The magic cherry tree is sick and still no anomaly has been found! Perhaps the demons are trying to sabotage the cherry blossom viewing! The ogre's power is considerable. Let's see if the ogres are there by setting a fire trap.
Flame trap candles are not blown out by the wind. The flame reacts only when there is a demon nearby. And there is no change in the flame. In other words, there are no demons nearby. There must be some other reason for the weakening of the cherry tree.
-
digging deeper
Hanako
I once contacted Isabelle to check the quality of the soil in my garden. Isabelle made a special tool for me. Could you please bring your portable soil scanner?
Thanks for the soil scanner. Normally, when an anomaly is detected, a buzzer goes off, but I don't hear it. Is this really due to an anomaly?
-
Infected photo
Isabelle
I've read that anomaly parasites can mutate plant cells and cause mutations. Maybe that's what's causing it. I have a sample photo of the parasite in my backpack, please get it for me.
You brought pictures. I can't find any anomaly parasites on the cherry trees. Good news, of course. But we still don't know anything about the disease in the cherry trees.
-
Examine the root cause
Isabelle
Most of the anomalies involve a visual distortion of the surrounding space. But I don't see that near the cherry trees. Pass the anomaly lens over here so I can see it better.
Thanks for the help. I thought the darkening of the cherry tree branches was caused by the distortion I just looked for, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The trees look the same through the lens.
-
Unusual Anomalies
Isabelle
You think you can add a new anomaly to my collection? I must confess I'm a little excited. Oh, and of course I'll save the magic cherry tree. Of course you will. The road is this way! All set, let's go!
Your garden is really nice, Hanako! But the funny thing is that nothing else in the garden seems to be affected. The only damage is to the blackened cherry tree. That's unusual for an anomaly. Now, let's solve the mystery!
-
Anxious return
Detective
Hey buddy, did you hear the news? It seems that Miss Peacock and her lover, Colonel Gallahard, have returned to town from that legendary Avalon! But something is wrong, and they need our help!
The Colonel is slowly losing his emotions and memory. At this rate, John Gallahard will forever be Sir Galahad, Knight of the Round Table, and he will forget his lover, Miss Peacock. Here, look at this!
-
blood ritual
Cardsharp
There's a blood trail at the bottom of the darvish kashkur. You'll need a ceremonial knife to perform the palace ritual.
-
foreign ship (esp. of Spanish and Portuguese ships)
Cardsharp
I guess the mandala offering worked. The palace will take away the years I have left in my life. The oath of the King of Prayer mentions an item called "dervish's cachet," but what is it?
Thank God for that! I never would have guessed that a darvish kashkur is a container shaped like a nut that's been split in half. I wonder what that has to do with the ritual?
-
Price of Knowledge
Cardsharp
All right, let's get on with it and become the King of Prayer! Because the treasures are waiting for me. I'll give the mandala offering to the palace and ask them to give me the knowledge I need to pass through the ritual. But first I have to find it. ......
Okay, I found the mandala offering. It's a shame to give away such an expensive item, no matter how much knowledge about the ritual you get... It's a great palace to let this card cheater do this to you!
-
Clock of Immortality
Cardsharp
Whoever becomes the King of Prayer and obtains wealth and eternal life must pay a price. But money plays no part in this ritual. There are five steps at the entrance to the great hall. And on the first step is a clock with the dome of the palace on it. Getting this clock is the first step to becoming the King of Prayer. Let's find it.
That was so easy. I got a clock with the dome of the palace on it. It's got the words engraved on the back. "Years do not exist for those who have eternal life." ...... What the hell does this mean?
-
Colors of Nature
Mario Bonmarito
I would also like to add one more special ingredient to the fertilizer. Because we need to make the perfect fertilizer to please Francesca. Let's check the gardening books...I see! What you need is rainbow extract! I'm sure it's somewhere near you. Please look for it.
This rainbow extract was extremely difficult to obtain. I traded it with a card scammer, and he was very aggressive in his bargaining! He didn't even know it was something he didn't need at all ...... That guy didn't even know it made flowers more vibrant. He thought it was a dye for dyeing fabric.
-
growth promotant
Mario Bonmarito
I often send Francesca a bouquet of flowers, but cut flowers don't last very long. My wife seems saddened by this. Potted flowers will last a little longer. But if they don't bloom, it's not worth talking about. The fertilizer is almost ready, but where on earth did the essence of the petals go? Could you please search for it with me?
Thank you for finding the jar containing the essence of the petals so quickly. According to the book, this will make the flower more beautiful. Each flower has a different face. It is a wonder. I feel like I'm starting to like gardening.
-
Lumps of energy
Mario Bonmarito
Francesca wants potted flowers and I am willing to fulfill that wish. The most important ingredient in fertilizer that promotes flowering is sun resin. Find it.
Thanks to this, we were able to add the sun's resin to the fertilizer. A very unusual substance, don't you think? According to gardening books, this contains the energy of the sun. If you regularly use fertilizer containing this resin, you can make flowers bloom even in winter.
-
Drinks unique to this season
Cardsharp
To be forgiven by the Goddess of the Fall, one must pass a test of five virtues. If you win a gamble by bribing a dealer with money, do you think you can call that "mutual assistance"? You say no? Then tell me. How do I get a medal for mutual aid?
-
dewdrop of blessing
Mario Bonmarito
According to this gardening book, if you want flowers to bloom right away, you need dew from a sponge-like substance found in marshes. But I completely forgot to prepare it... Fortunately, there are some pictures in this book, so let's use them to find this sponge.
You have gathered dew from the marsh's mysterious sponges. By the way, are you familiar with gardening? I am not at all familiar with it, but I want to do my best to make sure my wife is happy to see the beautiful flowers. I am so fortunate that you lent a hand.
-
Flower Information
Mario Bonmarito
This plant was grown by Francesca from seed, but the buds are not opening very well. I am going to make a special fertilizer to encourage flowering, but to make sure the formula is correct, I should refer to the information on the bag that the seeds came in. Please find the bag that the seeds came in.
Yes, this is what I was looking for. It has a picture of the same plant that Francesca grew. This plant is not that large in size, but what a big gramophone shaped flower it produces. Use this information as a reference.
-
Croupier's pronouncement.
Cardsharp
Roulette has another important tool. It is like a sentence in court, or a nail driven into the lid of one's own coffin. You know what it is? Yes, it's a marker. You'll need this in class.
It's a small, simple marker. I can still see the scene I can remember in front of me. Bang! The marker is placed on the table. Bang! I'm back to being poor. It's a tearjerker story.
-
Caring for our Neighbors
Autumn's Herald
The card cheater tried to steal my artifact and broke it. I will forgive him if he can prove that he has the makings of a good person by passing a test of the five virtues. First, let him prove that he is compassionate. If he succeeds, he will get his guardian angel's cross.
You have found your guardian angel's cross. So, I guess that means that the Trump scammer has compassion! He gave this cross as a gift to a lady. The lady's husband had lost all his money when he was confronted by the card cheater in a card game and lost.
-
Devil's Circle
Cardsharp
The next game is "Devil's Circle." It is also called roulette. It is a game completely left up to luck. The outcome of the game is out of the player's control! It all depends on luck, on which pocket the ball falls into. This ball is very important. Find it.
Okay, it's all shiny and polished. When the ball is going around in a circle, you're going to watch it with a thrill.
-
Cat Vampire Power
Martha
I can only assume that the detective's transformation into a vampire is the work of a powerful vampire power source. If we could find this source, we could break the curse. What is well known about vampires? I've known a vampire who can transform into a cat with exceptional hearing and night vision....... I recently saw a Hellcat amulet in the city! Can you help me find it?
-
Ghost Flavor
Detective
Juliette told me about this. I hear they are bringing back the tradition of giving offerings to the Wild Hunt. When I was a kid, we used to eat sugar candy with ghosts for Halloween. I know a place that still makes them.
This ghostly sugar confection brings back happy childhood memories, doesn't it? My buddy, Wild Hunt, will surely love these minty treats.
-
one more
Fabien Delamode
Have you found your phantom fashionista yet? We have her footsteps, but we don't want to track her alone. We will point you to her footsteps and you will find the end of the line.
Is the trail broken from where this moon boot was found? The lacework is very distinctive. Well...I have seen lace similar to that. It's been altered by the fog! I think I know who the intruder is...
-
The Brilliance of Knowledge
Kira Woodville
After all, the intruders may be gatherers. But Vila says that no foragers are fashionable and prefer practical things. For example, foragers do not use handbags like this one.
The star's handbag contains a compass, a pencil, and then a ruler. These are drafting tools...the woman who brought these items has disappeared into the fog. Yes, the intruder is a woman. I can clearly see her silhouette now.
-
Beautiful fabric accessories
Fabien Delamode
This is an interesting find. This fabric shines beautifully. I did not make it. I saw some accessories made of this fabric a while ago. Please look around here.
Thank you very much! This umbrella is as beautiful as the night sky. Do you think it belongs to a scientist? It's a wonderful texture of material. It seems to be affected by fog.
-
Distinctive design
Kira Woodville
If the intruder came here at night to look at the stars, why is there no trace left near the telescope? Am I missing something... could you please check with me?
You have a keen eye. What exactly is it that you have found for me? Is it a scholar's hat? It looks like a vase...well designed. Delamode might know what it is.
-
Sticky trap
Juliette
Dear friends! I rushed over when I heard you were preparing an offering to the Wild Hunt as a token of our friendship. I'm sure he'll be happy to give you some spider snacks. But you'd better hurry. They'll melt in no time.
Spider snacks are also called "gooey traps. They are very difficult to actually put in your mouth because they melt in an instant when you pick them up.
-
The Magic of Wormwood
Isabelle
Martha told me about this. She told me that they are collecting gifts unique to this season for the Wild Hunt. I once had a zombie jelly made of wormwood. I don't know if I should call it a gift because it tastes so bad, but let's have it as an offering too. The Wild Hunt might appreciate it.
Zombie Jell-O is very bitter. I never want to eat it again, but let's leave it for the Wild Hunt.
-
Clear plan
Hanako
In order to make a braided cord amulet that can protect the inhabitants, it is important to carefully follow the correct method. Can you help me find a kumihimo disk?
This is an instruction manual for making kumi-himo amulets. If you follow these instructions and make all the knots correctly, you will surely end up with a perfect one that can protect the people of the city.
-
strong wish
Hanako
In order to save the people of the city from the curse cast by the dark ones, you must make a braided cord amulet as per the wishes of the spirits. What is essential to make the cord? Yes, thread. Hurry up and find some thread.
This is no ordinary thread. It is a thread filled with people's feelings. That is what gives the kumi-himo its magical power. The strong determination to save the people of the city from the curse is put into every knot.
-
Practice Playing Cards
Cardsharp
Okay, let's move on to a more complicated game. I'm sure you know the game of cards. Who among us hasn't played cards before? This game originated in China. From fortune-telling came an exciting game. Once you have found a pair of playing cards, let's continue the lesson.
These playing cards are great for practice. Once you get used to these, you can keep them for yourself.
-
2 dice
Cardsharp
Let me start with the dice game. It's the easiest. Even the ancient Egyptians played with dice. You need at least two dice, because playing with one is no fun.
Nice! Those dice look like collector's items. It's beautiful. Looks like it's handmade.
-
Casino Tokens
Cardsharp
First, I gotta tell you the ins and outs of the game. You at least know what a chip is, right? Yes, they are tokens used in casinos in place of money. Let's start there. Bring some chips with you. You'll need them for the class.
Tip! All white and red, not so much black. My favorite colors are black and orange. But, hey, you can still bet.
-
Pursuing Love
Martha
Every image I've seen during my meditations has had a kanji radical hidden in it. Can you think with me what the last picture means so that the spirit of the young woman can regain the power to love? Yes, it's a picture of barefoot footprints!
There's an important message hidden in these barefoot footprints! To "love" is to pursue whom your heart desires.
-
Fountain of Emotion
Martha
I will use the images of the radicals I saw during my meditation to create a spell to help the female spirit regain the power to love. Can you help me find the radical that represents the "heart" I drew after I came out of hypnosis?
You found the picture where the radical "heart" was hidden! This is where that wonderful feeling of "love" comes from.
-
evening visitor
Kira Woodville
The intruder comes to the stargazing terrace at night and disappears in the fog, and we have yet to capture him. But they must have left footprints. Let's look for them.
Did the master have robes? If so, then he is a scientist, not a forager. But why would he leave his new robe at the Academy of Sciences? That place has been closed for a while.
-
The Green Prophet
Alford Stone
When I went out to catch caterpillars for the phoenix's food, I remembered that the tree symbolizing the constellation of the Serpent Bearer is the laurel tree. With a branch of this tree, I would have evidence of a successful constellation transformation. Would you be willing to weave me a laurel wreath?
Thank you for knitting these beautiful laurels! It is said that laurels have the power of foresight. If I could see into the future with this on, I would be a snake charmer.
-
Winged Totem
Alford Stone
I got a little lucky! I was able to buy a phoenix at the gatherer's market. How much it cost is a secret. Now I have the symbol of protection of the constellation of the Serpent Bearer. Oh... what's going on?
The phoenix has flamed up! It was reborn in flames, though. It is like the constellation Serpentarius, which is reborn no matter what calamity it encounters. But I don't know how to take care of the chick bird. What does this baby eat?
-
Fortunate day
Alford Stone
I understand! It seems that there are certain days and dates of the week that bring good luck to those born under the sign of the Serpent Bearer. Look for my lucky calendar.
Look at the calendar. I have marked the lucky days for Serpentarius, every Wednesday and the twelfth of every month. Now all you have to do is wait for the lucky day to arrive.
-
Elemental bonding
Alford Stone
Ancient texts state that the serpentine constellation draws its power from both fire and water. Let's check it out with this vessel of union. Here it is.
This vessel combines fire and water to create lava. It is beautiful, but I almost got burned. I still do not know if I am protected by these elements.
-
power of the snake
Alford Stone
I think I did the constellation transformation ritual correctly, but I'm not sure I really became a serpentine. I actually have a special ring, and its power is...no, it's nothing. Can you please help me find the ring?
Thank you very much. The two snakes motif on the ring is a symbol of the constellation of the Serpent Bearer. One snake brings out the power of Sagittarius and the other the power of Scorpio. But I don't feel the effect.
-
source
Mr. Black
The Shadow may want astronomers to identify who is sending signals from the city into space. Let's use radar to get a head start. The source of the signal is nearby.
The stone in this box is indeed emitting a faint signal. The security officer in the science department believes that this is a fragment of a meteorite and that the signal is emanating from here.
-
Large-scale planning
Mr. Black
Is it possible that astronomers were doing research on changing the Earth's orbit to prevent a collision with a comet? This research would be of interest to the "Shadow". Did the astronomer also possess space radar?
After all! Astronomers seem to have used this space radar to observe comets heading toward Earth. But...wait. The radar is also picking up signals to space originating from that part of town. Where is the source of the signal?
-
New Knowledge
Mr. Black
I don't think "The Shadow" wants pictures of stars. He must be after some other knowledge of astronomers. Let's find out what that is. Shall we check around more?
You found a model of the Earth's inner structure. Well done. But why are astronomers studying the subsurface interior? It sounds like an important study.
-
Pharaoh's sweets
Mistress
I hear you are looking for a gift to give to Wild Hunt? There are some mummified treats lying around in the Sarcophagus, where the city's mummies are housed. I think mummy cupcakes would make a great offering.
These mummy cupcakes smell like old bandages. It makes me sick just looking at them, but I bet they are a tasty treat for the Wild Hunt.
-
Unraveling the Mystery
Mr. Black
Professor Starr joined the Five Wise Guardians, which gave him access to the group's research materials, from which he uncovered a secret. It may contain information that the shadows want. Let's find the device he used.
Hmmm... strange device. According to the science department's agent, it allows them to photograph invisible types of interstellar radiation. But what does this have to do with the city?
-
academic research
Mr. Black
Arcturus Starr earned the title of astronomer after joining the Order of the Five Wise Guardians for his work in unraveling the mysteries of the celestial bodies. There may be clues in his writings in the scientific field. Let's check it out.
Professor Starr has done a great deal of work in the field of science in his writings. However, there is nothing particularly remarkable about his old monographs. These have already been thoroughly investigated by our experts.
-
Witch sweets
Valerie
Wouldn't you love to give Wild Hunt a little gift? Let's get started collecting offerings, shall we? Gingerbread voodoo dolls are nasty gifts that angry witches give to children. The gingerbread voodoo doll is a nasty gift given to children by angry witches who stick needles into the gingerbread and give it to the child, who then eats it and has nightmares for days. It smells really good, but if you find it, don't eat it.
You found a gingerbread voodoo doll! I'm sure the Wild Hunt will be happy to see you, since magic doesn't work on the Wild Hunt. But this isn't enough of an offering.
-
A sign of respect
Lady
I can't wait to visit the firefly tree. I promise it will be an unforgettable experience! Oh no, I almost forgot! What about a gift for the firefly tree? How about a fresh spring drop?
Thanks for collecting these spring drops! It's really cold, with no impurities in it. Let's give this water to the firefly tree before it wakes up. Trust me. We are lucky to be able to experience such a precious event. Through this ritual, we show our appreciation for the beauty and greatness of the tree.
-
Gift to the Guardian God of the Forest
Lady
The firefly tree is protected by the spirit of the tree, the master of the deep forest. In order to watch the firefly tree awaken, you must let the spirit know that you have no intention of harming it. As a token of our friendship, we should give them a bouquet of flowers. Can you help me gather the flowers?
What a lovely bouquet you have prepared for us! The tree spirits, who never leave the depths of the forest that is their domain, have never seen these flowers, so they must be delighted with the rarity. I am sure they will love it and let us through to the firefly tree!
-
Flourishing Tea Flavors
Lady
Even though it's spring, it gets very cold in the forest because of the lack of sunlight. You might freeze while waiting for the firefly trees to wake up. Let's make a nice cup of tea to warm up!
Thanks for finding the butterfly bean petals. I'm going to mix them in my herbal tea. It will instantly give you energy and warm you up. I learned this recipe from the gatekeeper, who is an expert on herbs in the forest.
-
Promise Melody
Arcturus Star
There was no response from the master. He once told me that he gave all the members of the guardians a special instrument and told them that if they played it, they would be heard wherever they were. So I tried to play the instrument, but nothing happened. See, now that you've tried it, give it a try.
You played a very beautiful melody, but I still didn't get any response from the master. I feared that something had happened to my fellow guardians, but my first priority had to be to save my own daughter.

Face of oblivion
Arcturus Star
Next, I went to the puppeteer's workshop, which had been completely transformed by the fog. There was no sign that the workshop had ever existed, but only a piece of a mechanical doll remained. It was a mask that looked like a real face. Have you seen it?
Puppeteers called these masks of memory. It is something that can make a puppet look like a real person. I am certain that this was made by the puppeteer, but I do not know where he is.

refusing to receive a visitor
Arcturus Star
I went to the designer's house to talk to the other fellows about this danger. But the door was locked, and when I tried to ring the doorbell, my finger slipped through the bell. I have the bell here. Look for it.
Ah, here it is. You can tell by the decor that it belongs to a collector. I used to go to her house for meetings of the guardians, but now the door is locked. Is the collector hiding inside?

hide and seek (the game)
Arcturus Star
I was supposed to meet one of my associates in the Upper City to get the device to save my daughter. But when I got to the meeting place, all I was left with was a message. Look at this. It's a very typical message from him.
A crystal and voice message were left behind to activate the energy device. The message disappeared automatically, but thanks to it we were able to get information about the location of the necessary components and the installation of the device.
-
Silent witness
Arcturus Star
Director Black's statement is untrue, but given the circumstances, one question arises... what happened during the trip? Where the hell is my travel bag?
This is indeed my travel bag. It is complete with all of its contents. I thought I arrived in Upper City yesterday, but from the looks of this bag, I have been here for years.

Children of the Moon
Lady
The firefly tree where we are going to watch the awakening grows deep in the city's forest. And that forest hates civilization and human inventions. So, instead of a flashlight, I need to bring a glowing mushroom. Can you please go and look for them for me?
Thanks for finding these fluorescent mushrooms! This mushroom is said to absorb moonlight. In the forest, these mushrooms will light our way to the firefly trees. The deeper we go into the forest, the taller the trees become, blocking out the sunlight.
-
stealthy footsteps
Lady
Be careful. The path to the firefly tree is not an easy one. The forest is very old and there are spirits sleeping at the base of the trees, so you have to be careful not to wake them up. Find a special pair of shoes that will make it difficult to hear your footsteps.
You found the perfect straw boots! This is a very ancient item. With these soles, it is as if you are walking on grass and your footsteps make no sound at all. In the past, druids and wizards used to wear them to keep the forest creatures out of their way.
-
Conclusive evidence
Mr. Black
He claims he is trying to save his daughter, but he is obviously lying. He is underestimating my knowledge of the guardianship. Woodville has important evidence to prove his lies. Bring it to me.
I'm amazed you found it! The report Woodville made on his visit to Lower City mentioned this monocular. The person who gave me this unique device was someone named Helen Starr. Which means she is alive and well.
-
energy release
Arcturus Star
Someone had pointed the energy device at the sky and the energy particles scattered and flew away like a meteor shower. Everything was about to be ruined, but with a portable battery I could collect them.
Ah, you found it. With this battery, we could activate the fog telescope that is endangering my daughter. It will take a tremendous amount of energy to save my daughter from the anomaly.
-
Father's Duties
Arcturus Star
It was not an easy road, but I had no choice. I desperately needed the energy device to save my daughter Helen's life. I always wear a medal with my daughter's portrait on it, where did I find it? Would you please search through my belongings?
Ah, here it is. My precious daughter is pictured. Helen is in Lower City right now and is under the influence of a dangerous anomaly. Now she must get the energy from the energy device and bring it to her daughter.
-
guidance system
Arcturus Star
I have no new information to offer specifically about the Guardians. I lived in the Lower City with little contact with others. I needed some equipment in the Upper City, so I came here with a special compass. I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Look for it.
This is called a star compass, and it is designed to tell you the direction of the guiding star. It is a complex device, but very good, and it allowed us to travel from the Lower City to the Upper City through underground caverns and abandoned mines.
-
Special rings
Arcturus Star
Indeed, I used to be called an "astronomer." As the name implies, I was a professor teaching astronomy. I was chosen to join the Order of the Five Wise Guardians for my achievements in science. This is the ring I received at that time.
Only the members of the Guardian Order were allowed to have this ring. Only those who had this ring were allowed to set foot in the laboratories that developed new technologies to make the world a better place.
-
Respectable profession
Arcturus Star
What in the world does Director Black think I did? I am a professor of astronomy. I have absolutely no connection to crime. I believe I have a badge around here somewhere. Would you look for it?
Thank God you found my badge. If I show it to Director Black, he will believe that I am a professor of astronomy. The Academy is currently closed, but I have not been removed from my position as a professor.
-
Scientific Interests
Arcturus Star
I'm the one who upgraded the old energy equipment. We are about to conduct a scientific experiment. An astronomical experiment. I believe I have my sextant around here somewhere... have you seen it?
This is no ordinary sextant. I have modified it so that I can calculate the position of celestial objects in fog. I need it for the experiments I am about to perform. Well, let's continue.
-
Accurate description
Alford Stone
Still, I am convinced that the "shadow" had nothing to do with this. A notebook had fallen near the apparatus. It wasn't particularly suspicious, but there was a formula written inside. Here, take a look at this.
This note definitely belongs to a scientist. It is handwritten, but not illegible. This is how he was able to activate the energy device. Someone at the academy must have modified this device for some purpose.
-
the source of one's doubt
Mr. Black
Indeed, the markings on this energy device are those of the Five Wise Guardians. But you're missing one detail, Mr. Stone. Have you noticed anything suspicious about it?
Yes, only this part is obviously new. Suspicious, isn't it? Someone has recently tampered with this energy device. That means it would have been easy to modify this device to fit the "shadow" conspiracy.
-
Familiar design
Alford Stone
I'm the kind of person who taps on a stone bridge and crosses it. If I had even a millimeter of doubt that the Shadow was involved, I would not have lifted a finger on the energy device. Come to think of it, I did find an unusual badge when I examined the device. Look for it.
Yes, this is the badge of the Five Wise Guardians. Look familiar, don't you? I've seen other items with this symbol on them, so there was never any doubt where this energy device came from.
-
fortunate turn of events
Alford Stone
The biggest bottleneck was the fact that the constellation-changing ritual required a great deal of energy. However, this problem solved itself! Luckily, we found a special key. I believe it was around here somewhere.
With the key to this gear, I was able to activate the energy device and perform the ritual of the constellation shift. And what I didn't expect, either, was that a byproduct of this ritual was a meteor shower.
-
Pillar of Mystery
Alford Stone
Let me tell you, there is no connection between the constellation Hexeract and the Shadow! I learned about this constellation because I read about it on a little pillar that the fog left on the outskirts of the city. I have it here so you can look for it.
Yeah, this is the pillar. You see the Sumerian words on it? What? You can't read cuneiform? Don't worry. It's about the rituals of the constellation change, and I'll read it to you.
-
Harbingers of Change
Alford Stone
I am not being manipulated by "shadows"! I read a lot of material on astrology and realized that what I needed was to change my zodiac sign. This is the symbol of my new guardian. Take a look.
You've probably never seen this symbol before. It's the symbol for the 13th constellation known to those in the know, the Snake Scorpion. I've scoured every nook and cranny of celestial science to find it. It's the perfect constellation for me.
-
From the depths of time
Alford Stone
The stars have my life in a row of lunar eclipses! And I know this because of the astronomical terraces. I'll prove it to you, so can you find me an ancient celestial observatory?
This is one of the finest antiquities I have ever collected. By using it to measure the positions of the stars and other celestial objects, there is no need to worry about ancient knowledge being misrepresented by modern instruments.
-
against one's fate
Alford Stone
Meteor rain has nothing to do with "shadows". Believe me! It's a situation I didn't see coming. Mercury went retrograde, plus the Ascendant...whatever, my zodiac is in trouble. Here, take a look at this.
Yes, this is my natal astrological chart. It has nothing to do with "shadows." I tore it up myself, believing that I could change my destiny by changing my astrological chart. Believe it or not, it is possible!
-
passage of snakes
Mr. Black
The fact that the snake symbol appeared at the same time as the meteor shower means that the two are somehow related. No doubt there are traces of the Shadow somewhere. Hey, something moved in the grass there...a snake! Don't miss it!
Catching a snake with your bare hands is a brave but daredevil thing to do! You don't think it's poisonous? I'd better check it out just in case it's being controlled by the Shadow. His disciples could be in disguise.
-
Useful records
Kira Woodville
We need to find out what method the "shadow" used to generate the meteor shower. If we can find some kind of guide he used, we may be able to get a clue. Let's look for anything with useful information.
Look at this old scroll. There is a sort of table with numbers...I see, this is a celestial location chart. Ollie Articus had a similar one. But you can't generate a meteor shower with it. Why is it here?
-
Flowers born of mist
Mr. Black
In order to protect the residents, we need to find out what the "shadow" was doing on the astronomical terrace. We have to keep our eyes open so we don't miss a single thing. And stay alert... there are a lot of snakes here!
Okay, this is not a real snake. It's a flower that looks like a snake. I knew it was true, but I was testing you... that said, perhaps this flower was created by the fog. How "shadows" seem to like it...what does it have to do with meteor rain?
