Toward Freedom
Kira Woodville
Now that we've fixed the wiring and restored the Shim artifact, we're ready to reboot the device. If the sign above the front door lights up, that's proof the mansion has been rebooted. Could you please check to see if it's lit up?
-
Living Heritage
Sim Van Eijkel
I hope that a brave woman will restore the Altar of Guidance and save Emma. If she does, I will finally be freed from my captivity. My Virtue Artifact is heart-shaped. Can you find it?
That's right, this is my artifact of virtue. My parents created it and entrusted it to me so that the mansion would recognize me and my authority when I was a frail child who was often ill.
-
Not a single spark
Kira Woodville
In theory, repairing the terminal should open the mansion's door. Let's hope it works. I found some damaged wiring. I'm going to clean it up and reconnect it, so please hold it firmly in place.
That was a big help! The wiring seems to be stable now. But this device contains not only ordinary machinery, but also an artifact that seals the virtues of the Van Ekel family. Which one belongs to Sim?
-
Beyond the Flames
Sim Van Eijkel
On the first day the mansion became capable of acting on its own, large sparks flew from the command altar. Although no flames erupted, a nearby tapestry caught fire. Please find it.
That's right, that tapestry. My mother wove it, and I rescued it from the flames. I moved it away from the altar afterward, but that was the only time sparks flew.
-
There are no coincidences
Sim Van Eijkel
I’ll come clean. As the last person left in the mansion, I believed I could give the house the power to think for itself, so I removed the seal from the “Altar of Instructions” inside the mansion. But that was a mistake. Could you please find the seal?
Was there a seal? And… it’s still broken. There was no other way to remove the seal from the Altar of Instructions. After that, the mansion sealed off the grand hall where the valuable artifacts were kept. They would have come in handy.
-
Dual Effect
Kira Woodville
If the mansion only does what it’s told, it shouldn’t be changing its structure on its own. Sim is overlooking a crucial part of this mystery. For example, why is half of that curtain old and half new? Take a look and see for yourself.
I think when Sim chased after Emma, a piece of the curtain got caught outside the mansion. The window opened and closed at the same time as the door, and the exposed fabric deteriorated in an instant. Don't you think that's strange?
-
A Precious Dream
Sim Van Eijkel
Why does the estate try to keep outsiders out? It was my dream to turn this estate into a museum. I even made some display cases with my own hands. One of them must still be around somewhere.
My relatives wouldn’t let me use this display case, insisting that our family’s artifacts were meant to be admired and enjoyed only by family members and should not be shown to the public. No matter how much I pleaded. However, the mansion itself had no fear of visitors.
-
From childhood onward
Sim Van Eijkel
I can’t understand why the mansion is acting so strangely. It never showed this much hostility before—not even when I let my childhood friend sneak in to see the artifact, or when I showed him my collection of rare toys. Hmm. Come to think of it, I wonder where I put those toys…
This toy came from a distant land. It reminds me of a time when the mansion was still bustling with life, and there was a constant stream of banquets held to welcome distinguished guests. Everyone came to admire the artifacts, and the mansion gladly welcomed them.
-
Clues About the Woman
Sim Van Eijkel
I don’t remember how I got out of the house. The moment the villains fled, I was pulled back by the power of the Van Ekel residence—as if by invisible chains. I was clutching Emma’s handkerchief at the time. Could you please find it for me?
Oh, what a beautiful handkerchief. Please return this to its owner—that radiant woman who granted me, if only for a moment, the freedom I had longed for. I helped her, and she gave me hope.
-
The Statue of Discord
Sim Van Eijkel
If I weren’t a member of the Van Eikel family, I could have stood at that window and watched indifferently as the mob destroyed the sculpture my mother loved right on our front porch. But my heart couldn’t bear it. Please see for yourself what they did.
This statue was a cherished family heirloom. Unable to find a way to break into the mansion, the vandals, out of frustration, ruined this magnificent work of art. When I saw it, a righteous anger welled up inside me.
-
A Silent Friend
Sim Van Eijkel
As promised, I’ve brought you some tea. Although this mansion is under the authority of the Van Eikel family, they refuse to let me leave. Until you arrived, I had given up hope of ever speaking to a living person again. However, I must put away my doll friends. Would you mind looking for them before anyone else does?
Thank you for finding my doll’s friend. His name is Sim van Eikel Jr.—isn’t he adorable? During his time in captivity, he acquired a variety of skills, ranging from sewing and painting to compiling a detailed inventory of our family’s heirlooms.
-
It's all in his hands
Sim Van Eijkel
My identity can be verified using my palm prints. These cannot be replicated. If there’s a palm print recognition device, the mansion should be able to recognize me. Could you please bring one over?
Wonderful! This authentication device is a rare artifact in and of itself. Only those descended from Van Eikel can use it to access the mansion’s control system. Let’s have some tea prepared at the mansion. That way, we can continue our conversation in a more relaxed atmosphere.
-
A deal is a deal
Sim Van Eijkel
Exactly. I am Sim van Eikel. I am both the heir to this mansion and its unwilling prisoner. My great-grandfather entered into an inviolable contract regarding this mansion. However, I’m absolutely delighted that someone has finally made it here. The original contract? I must have left it somewhere.
So you found the contract. What you’re holding in your hands is the very document that has me captive. As you’ll see if you read the contract, this mansion has a mind of its own. One day, out of the blue… it sealed itself off, trapping me inside. Since then, no one has come looking for me.
-
A Suspicious Landscape Painting
Kira Woodville
Neither the door nor the windows open, but it still feels like someone lives here. Look at that painting. It was hung there recently. It doesn’t match the other decorations at all, and the landscape depicted in it matches the view from that window right now.
Look at this. The paint hasn't dried yet. It got on my finger. Whoever painted this must either live here or know how to get in and out of the mansion. But if the painter is still here, why hasn't he shown himself?
-
Rare Books
Emma Luxmore
Or perhaps the person who saved me is a scientist who invented a new kind of lock powered by artifacts. I just found a rare encyclopedia of artifacts. It might contain clues about how the door’s lock works. Could you take a look?
It was a rare find, but I couldn’t open the cover of this encyclopedia. We have the same edition in our collection, but it’s in much worse condition than this one due to years of use. This one looks as if it were printed just yesterday.
-
Royal Hobbies
Emma Luxmore
I feel like I can't breathe in here. I wonder where the person who saved me is? If it were him, he'd surely be able to open that door. Oh, wait. That chair is part of the old royal set. The armrests of furniture like that often have hidden compartments. That might be where the key is hidden.
There was no key… What a shame. Still, this chair is in great condition. You’d never guess it’s over a hundred years old. Could it be that the person who helped me was actually an accomplice of the gang that attacked me, and they’re hiding stolen goods here…?
-
Bonds of Blood
Kira Woodville
How did the man who saved Emma open that door in the first place? The Van Eikel family line should have died out a hundred years ago. Try looking for the family tree with the portrait. It should be around here somewhere.
Just as I thought. The last portrait in the family tree is of the last couple of the Van Eikel family, who died under mysterious circumstances a hundred years ago. Shortly after that, their son went missing. It’s said he was swallowed up by the fog.
-
This very spot
Kira Woodville
This is the famous Van Eikel House… It’s quite old, and you’d think the door would have rotted away long ago, but even when I push with all my might, it doesn’t budge at all. Are you sure the address is correct? Is there a sign somewhere? Could you please take a look around?
The sign’s style is old-fashioned, but the sign itself is brand new. I suppose there just hadn’t been an opportunity to put it up outside yet. This is definitely the Van Eikel House. Just look at this craftsmanship. The entire building has been perfectly preserved.
-
Uninvited Guest
Emma Luxmore
It looked like there was no one inside, and I was too scared to go in alone. No one has come in or out since I got here. But let's hurry. I'm worried about the person who helped me. They might be injured.
Oh no! The front door has slammed shut. Of course, it won’t open. It’s one of the few locks even Keira can’t open. I have to call for help. Is anyone there? Can’t you hear me? I’m trapped inside the mansion!
-
Author's Signature
Mr. Art
I examined the works the culprit had tampered with. A consistent style is evident in all of them. The artist used ordinary paint and even left a signature on the portraits. If we had a UV lamp, it would probably make the signature appear.
A ball mark?! To be honest, I didn't think the culprit was a dog. But that does explain the crude drawing style.
-
A Secret Confession
Mr. Art
Could it be that the culprit is actually a fan of Ms. Violet? Since it’s not violet season right now, they probably tried to paint the daisies violet instead. Let’s see if this hypothesis holds up. I set Ms. Violet’s portrait aside a moment ago. Let’s check to see if there are any signs that someone has tampered with it.
Just as I thought! There’s a heart drawn on Violet’s portrait. This isn’t a prank—it’s a declaration of love! But who could this artist be… who chose such an unexpected person as their muse?
-
A Token of Thoughtfulness
Violet
That gallery owner must be out of his mind! Not only did he ruin my stuff, but he had the nerve to mock me! I bet he’s the one who left that paint-splattered bouquet outside my office, too. You want to see the bouquet? Then go find it yourself.
If Mr. Art prepared this bouquet with the intention of apologizing, it was a total failure. I like violets—not daisies covered in paint. Tell him it’s too late to apologize now.
-
Tarnished Reputation
Mr. Art
Violet looked angry as she waved the Octopus Fortress flag at me. I told her I’d never seen anything like it… and then she tossed it behind the statue. Could you go get it for me?
Ah, I see. Now I understand why she suspected me. Someone spilled paint on the pennant at this Octopus Fortress. It seems they were trying to make the Octopus Unit’s crest more vivid. The culprit has quite a good eye for design.
-
Perfection Lies in the Details
Mr. Art
Violet brought me a few items that I supposedly ruined. Let's take a look at them. First up is a painting. She was furious that such a beautiful painting had been ruined. Could you go find it for me?
It looks like someone smeared paint all over this painting, but take a closer look. The culprit wasn’t trying to ruin the painting. It seems they added a poorly drawn sun and clouds in an attempt to make it look better.
-
Hobbies That Heal the Soul
Emma Luxmore
Uncle Raiden is really good at building model airplanes. I tried to convince him to enter a talent show, but he absolutely refuses to come to the venue, so I’m going to submit his entry for him. Could you bring Uncle Raiden’s model over?
Thank you for bringing the model airship. If you look closely, the details are amazingly intricate. Uncle Raiden spends a tremendous amount of time on each and every model.
-
A Work of Art Beyond Art
Vera
Lucas is really looking forward to participating in the talent show, so I decided to join in, too. I’ve been preparing my act for a while now. I wonder if you’ll be able to spot mine among all the other acts?
My graffiti isn't just some scribbles on a wall. It purifies the surrounding space. That's because I mix anti-fog crystal particles into the paint. It works on the same principle as an anti-fog lamp, but it's even more powerful.
-
Warm Light
Angelique
I’ll be participating in the talent show, too. Although you and I perceive things differently, even I have a sense of appreciation for beauty. I’m hoping to impress the judges with a handmade candle. Could you please find one for me?
So you found my candle. Please take a moment to appreciate its precisely calculated balance. This piece was created based on a single, simple idea: “Even those who cannot feel warmth can still give it to others.”
-
Colors of Nature
Loukia
I rarely take part in town events, but since I know just how hard the Luxmore siblings have worked preparing for this contest, I decided to enter too. But I can't remember where I put the floral landscape painting I'm submitting...
Did you like my landscape painting? I'm so glad! I make my own paint from flowers, and I even use the petals in my paintings. Nature gives us the most beautiful colors.
-
The Steed of the Mist
Lucas
As you may already know, I love creating animal shapes out of fog. I made a wild horse for the talent show, but I feel like something’s missing. Could you help me with the decorations?
Thank you so much for helping me finish the painting of the wild horse in the mist. I don't remember when I first realized I had this talent, but I've been practicing for many years now.
-
Elegant Plating
Ali Vazir
I’ve asked Mr. Art to serve my mousse at Olivia’s exhibition. I’d like to surprise the guests with both the taste and the beautiful presentation. Please look for a wide, flat stone to serve the mousse on.
This stone plate is perfect for serving mousse. While its style differs from that of a typical serving plate, it’s actually a tribute to Olivia’s sculptures. Just as she transforms stone into works of art, this plate highlights the delicate nature of the mousse.
-
Accessories That Steal the Show
Mr. Art
I am honored to serve as the emcee for the opening ceremony. I would like to formally introduce Olivia to everyone here. I’ve ordered a top hat from Anna for her to wear during the ceremony. Could you please bring it over?
Thank you so much for bringing the top hat. It’s so glamorous! The hats Anna makes are the best in the world. Don’t you agree? I can’t think of a more perfect accessory for this event.
-
Interactive Art
Lewis Capuchin
My wife and I are preparing the special effects for Olivia's exhibition, but we're having some trouble with the equipment. Could you help us set up the hologram crystals?
Thank you so much! Thanks to you, I was able to place the hologram crystal in the correct position. The special effects for this event were inspired by the mirages I’ve been researching recently. I want to capture each of Olivia’s sculptures with my camera as if they were living, breathing people.
-
Haute couture dress
Fabien Delamode
I was convinced that Madame Olivia would come back. Since her measurements were on file, I used them to tailor an elegant dress… No, that won’t do. I don’t want to show it to you while it’s still in the box. Please go find a mannequin.
Wow! What a beautiful dress! Blue chiffon with hand-embroidered stars… I can just picture the reactions of the people when they saw Olivia wearing it.
-
Historic Musical Instruments
Sophia
Oh! I'm so happy that my dear friend is finally free. I was so moved last night that I wrote a song for her. I'm planning to perform it at the opening ceremony—would you help me bring a grand piano to the art museum?
This grand piano is something special. It was crafted by a master from the Five Sages Guardian Corps, and a collector even had it tuned just for me. It produces a magical sound. It’s perfect for Olivia’s grand comeback!
-
Melody of the Soul
Mr. Art
The responsibility of saving Olivia through the power of freedom is a heavy one. Let's lift our spirits with some music.
Oh, I remember now! This hand-cranked organ I bought as a souvenir was a gift for Olivia. The song playing is my country’s national anthem. I can feel its energy flowing through my body.
-
Family Heirloom
Mr. Art
I’ve always felt a connection to the past through my family heirlooms. My ancestor’s inkwell was made 250 years ago, the year my country was founded. Could you please help me find it?
This inkwell is my talisman. Every time I use it, I feel a deep sense of pride. To me, it symbolizes freedom and the family values that have been passed down through the generations.
-
The Liberty Bell Rings
Collector
We need a bronze bell to finely tune the device and connect Mr. Art to the most significant moments of his homeland’s past. It should be nearby. Can you find it?
So you found the bronze bell. Its sound echoes the moment Mr. Art’s homeland gained independence, awakening the memories of his ancestors and unleashing his true power.
-
The Symbol Magnet
Collector
Mr. Art embodies the spirit of independence. He possesses a rare talent for painting symbols of freedom and bringing out their power. Could you please go find an olive branch for me?
This olive branch didn't end up here by chance. It seems that symbols of freedom keep appearing around Mr. Art.
-
The Power of Unity
Collector
For some reason, Mr. Art’s letter to Olivia pierced through the city’s veil of fog. That was when I realized how talented he was. Could you please find a bundle of arrows for me?
This bundle of arrows is also a symbol of freedom. Let’s collect a few more to link Mr. Art with the moment of our homeland’s independence.
-
Free Observer
Mr. Art
Let's get the camera ready. I got this from a freelance reporter after the exhibition. The lens is a little dirty. Could you wipe it off for me?
Thank you. The reporter who gave me this joked that it was a “Freedom Camera.” Since I’ll be using it to free Olivia from her stone prison, it’s a perfect name.
-
Quite heavy
Mr. Art
While details are important in photographic composition, there’s still something missing that would infuse the camera with a sense of freedom. That’s it! Could you help me find a rare coin from the last century?
Thank you. This coin adds a symbolic weight to the photo. It reminds us that while freedom comes at a cost, independence is something of immeasurable value that money can’t buy.
-
The Constellation of Freedom
Sophia
I'm sure it'll work out. Will the fog give Mr. Art what he needs?
Thank you. The one I just had framed is the first flag from when the United States gained independence. According to Mr. Art, the 13 stars represent the original 13 colonies and symbolize the path to freedom.
-
Creative Flight
Mr. Art
A camera imbued with the energy of freedom should be able to break Olivia's petrification. Next, we'll need an eagle's feather—have you seen one anywhere?
Thank you. This eagle feather really looks great in photos. The eagle is the national emblem of my country and symbolizes spiritual strength and the freedom to fly.
-
Fight fire with fire.
Mr. Art
The Gorgon Camera is unique, but it creates art. If art is what’s holding Olivia captive, then it should also be able to set her free. Let’s find the seal ring.
This signet ring is engraved with a symbol of freedom. Let's collect a few more and take a picture of them. If we infuse an ordinary camera with the energy of freedom, we might be able to get Olivia back.
-
Always by Your Side
Sophia
Olivia sacrificed herself to bring me back to life. She used the camera one more time and turned to stone in my place. Oh, why… It would be so much easier to explain if you’d brought me my embroidered ABC beret.
This is Olivia’s favorite beret. I kept it so I could hold it whenever I missed her. It’s been years since Olivia turned into a statue. At least now, Mr. Art knows the truth.
-
Life Lessons
Sophia
I have to tell Mr. Art some sad news. Even though he told me that Olivia had lost her talent as a sculptor, I didn’t believe him. Just like this petrified flower, I coldly pushed my friend’s feelings away.
That night, this flower turned to stone. I kept it as a reminder. It was from the first time Olivia and I had a serious argument—and it ended tragically.
-
Healing Accessories
Sophia
It seems like no one has seen Olivia. The only proof she’s back is this old invitation. I feel like I’m going to get dizzy. Could you help me look for my bracelet?
Thank you. Touching this bracelet calms me down. Olivia isn't back yet. I have to let Mr. Art know.
-
A Place to Gather
Mr. Art
To be honest, I haven't really looked for Olivia yet. She said we'd meet at the exhibition opening and even told me where to go—she said it's by the sign with the scissors on it. Do you know where that is?
So you found the sign where I was supposed to meet Olivia. Artists value their freedom, so I don't want to come across as pushy and ruin my relationship with her.
-
No need to worry
Mr. Art
I don't really understand why you're so worried about Olivia. Artists sometimes shut themselves away before an exhibition to find inspiration. There must be a tool case somewhere. Could you look for it?
A few needles are missing from the case. Olivia must have taken only what she needed and gone off to work on her new piece. They should be back in time for the grand opening.
-
The Path to Art
Mr. Art
When I offered to buy one of Olivia’s sculptures, she invited me to her exhibition. The invitation is in my briefcase over there, so please take a look.
What do you think? Olivia drew a map on the back of the letter. It’s not a map to the exhibition—it’s a map to a portal. I came here through that portal.
-
Someday, eventually
Mr. Art
It was really hard to find Olivia. I even hired a private investigator. But all I found was the box she used to send her artwork to New York. Please bring it here.
Yeah, the box is empty. All that was inside was a protective mold. One of them is a sculpting tool I found. But I can still make out the sender's information. Sender: Olivia, From: Shadow City.
-
Freedom of Art
Mr. Art
A long time ago, I came across a sculpture that embodied the spirit of freedom. After searching for its creator for many years, I finally made my way to this town—to meet that sculptor. Please take a look at this unfinished work. What does it say to you?
This unfinished piece represents artistic freedom. That’s exactly why I’ve been searching for its creator all this time. Her name is Olivia. I can’t wait to meet her.
-
A matter of personal preference
Mr. Art
I didn't throw that antique away, you know. I had no reason to. I just set it aside for a bit. I just prefer contemporary art—that's all. If you can find that newspaper clipping for me, I'll tell you why I opened the gallery.
It was through this newspaper article that I learned one of my ancestors had signed the Declaration of Independence. Inspired by that, I opened a gallery dedicated to showcasing free expression.
-
Nice to meet you
Mr. Art
Customers already? Even though we’re not open yet? Welcome! I’m Mr. Art, the owner of this independent art museum. You’re the first to see this brand-new emblem—that is, if you can find it, of course.
Thank you. Let's display this emblem at the entrance. I'm sorry it's a bit messy. I just got here, you see, and I had to start preparing for the exhibition.
-
Turning Point
Alford Stone
I don't know who their competitors are, but I can see what they're aiming for. They're trying to attract more customers here by stocking items that cater to a wide range of interests. Did you find any nice antiques?
What?! You mean those so-called competitors… were just piling up this precious antique haphazardly? I can’t believe it. A witch would be better than such a thoughtless person.
-
Explosion Effect
Rayden Storke
Mr. Stone is quick to seize opportunities. It will be difficult to get our hands on the artifacts left behind by the mist before he does. Our competitors must be using something to dispel the mist. Let's see what we can find.
Using fireworks to dispel the fog is a clever idea. Let’s send this to the Engineering Department for them to investigate. They might find traces of anti-fog crystals.
-
It varies from person to person
Alford Stone
Has a former business partner come back to compete? But if it's Shirley, there should be more contemporary art. Did you happen to see any?
If it weren't for the expensive frame, I wouldn't have realized it was contemporary art. Even Shirley would have a hard time liking this. I doubt she's really a contender.
-
Major Works
Alford Stone
It seems Mr. Raiden thinks I have a new rival. It must be someone with a keen eye for art. It might be Shirley, my former business partner. I saw a marble bust a little while ago. Could you look for it for me?
This bust looked familiar, and now I know why. It has the number “0” written on it. That’s the signature of Olivia, Shirley’s favorite sculptor—Shirley absolutely loves her work.
-
A Coveted Artifact
Alford Stone
An eagle appeared out of the fog, and I tried to catch it, but it was sucked into the art museum before I could. Could you help me find it?
Yeah, that’s the wooden eagle I saw. So it really was an eagle after all. Someone else has already been collecting artifacts like this here. I didn’t realize the competition was this fierce.
-
Art Gallery
Alford Stone
The Palace of the Muses has been abandoned for a long time, but now there’s some suspicious activity at the entrance. Just to be safe, let’s wear an amulet. All set. Now let’s go inside.
Just as I thought. The sign is just a cover—this place is… No, wait a minute! What do you know—this is actually a real art museum. There are artworks everywhere, and a large installation is being created right now…
-
A Warm Place to Call Home
Valerie
Calista thinks she broke the "Heart"—Cupid's precious tool—because of her mistake. But that's not true. It wasn't a mistake; it was a lesson! Could you find a kitten's scarf for the finishing touch?
This scarf is so soft and warm. It’s perfect for the cat’s bed at Aromarium. Someone left it here to let go of painful memories. Love never fades, even if it changes form over the years. You can see that just by looking at this, can’t you?
-
A Mature Bond
Callista
My heart broke because I created so many unhappy romances and let them all end in failure. But Valery gave me a new perspective. Didn’t you see the restored photo?
This is it! These are photos from the wedding of the first couple I ever helped. They later went through a painful divorce, and the photos were torn up and thrown away, but years later, they were carefully pieced back together. I understand now… that while lost love can never be regained, forgiveness is possible.
-
Shattered Hopes
Valerie
Calista was upset after realizing that her heart had cracked because her love had faded. But I’ll prove to her that love is never lost! Can you help me find the soul jigsaw puzzle?
Thank you for finding the puzzle piece! I made the gold one myself. I painted it gold to symbolize my belief that even if your heart is broken by a broken romance, it will surely heal again with time.
-
A failed attempt
Callista
The heart—the tool for creating love—broke because I’m such a lousy Cupid. But at least Valérie said it can still be fixed. Next, I need a sprout in a cup.
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. This cup is a Valentine’s Day gift that a couple I helped left behind when they broke up. I see… I get it now. It means that old things become the soil that nurtures new things.
-
Key Skills
Valerie
This is a problem. There’s a crack in Calista’s heart. But why? A broken heart is different from any other failure. Let’s look for the balloon in the Aromarium. Strong emotions sometimes take physical form in that place. Here, I’ll show you.
This balloon appeared this morning. It’s someone’s feelings taking shape. It means that sometimes, instead of clinging to a relationship that isn’t working out, you should let go. But there’s a lesson to be learned from every failure.
-
Everyone's Childhood
Isabelle
To me, my childhood memories are like a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I pray that the soap I’m making now will free me from this pain. Next, I need a scent that will turn those old memories into something warm. Will you help me find one?
This is amazing! The scent of a happy childhood is something that’s truly indescribable. It’s so gentle and comforting. This scent transports me to a world of warm family gatherings… playing, swinging on the swings, storytime before bed… things I was mostly never a part of.
-
Items for the Soul
Isabelle
I don't have all the ingredients I need yet to use this soap to cleanse the soul of its suffering. Come to think of it, there was a recipe book at Aromarium that mentioned a type of clay with those properties. But I just can't seem to find it.
That’s right, this clay. According to the recipe book, it’s supposed to absorb suffering. The owner of Aromarium sourced it from another world. It’s perfect for adding to soap.
-
Releasing Unwanted Emotions
Martha
Isabel believes that if she has the magic soap, she can erase the painful memories of her childhood that haunt her dreams. It’s not that simple, but it should at least help. Next, we need a soap knife!
Thank you. I’ve already cast a spell on the soap knife. By shaving off the excess soap, Isabelle should be able to let go of the emotional baggage she doesn’t need at the most subtle energetic level.
-
Boiling point
Isabelle
According to Martha, magic soap alone isn’t enough to get rid of the negative energy clinging to me. It seems I also need to change the way I think about the past. There’s a device at the Aromarium that helps you understand difficult emotions. Could you go get it for me?
Thank you. This device can measure the emotional “temperature” of Aromarium products. Right now, I feel like I’m being constantly consumed by sadness. So that means we need to add an ingredient with a cooling effect to the soap. In that case… maybe menthol?
-
The Weight of Existence
Martha
Isabel seems to be suffering from nightmares related to her childhood, and she believes she can get rid of them with a special soap. Be sure to handle the magical ingredients with care. First, let's find a scale.
Thank you for finding this scale. It’s important to measure ingredients accurately when making soap. I’ve cast a spell on it so it can measure the weight of Isabel’s emotions. That way, we can separate out the heaviest and most harmful emotions. Right now, it seems that the emotion of longing is weighing heavily on her.
-
The Weather of the Heart
Valerie
To save the couple’s relationship, the perfume needs a hint of the scent of a walking path. I happen to have just the thing. It’s the umbrella she left behind at the aromatherapy shop the other day when it was raining. Could you go find it for me?
Thank you! This umbrella is for two people. We used to go for walks together under it, but now, poor thing, it goes out all by itself. It smells of fallen leaves and rain... just the scent we’ve been looking for!
-
A happy dweller
Valerie
I love how a fragrance can breathe new life into an old love affair! I don't have the recipe, but I'm sure this perfume will awaken faded feelings...I have a ticket that has something to do with our past...funny, where did I put it?
I found them. They're tickets to an event a couple attended to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. They still smell of popcorn and cotton candy. Both would make perfect notes for a perfume!
-
Memory of Food
Valerie
The client woman believes that the scent of her favorite perfume can restore her feelings for her husband and strengthen their bond. But I suspect it will end up merely evoking memories. Let's give it a try anyway. Can you go find me a tart?
The aroma of this tart evoked not only my appetite but also sweet and pleasant memories, just like the one served at their wedding. I am sure the aroma will bring back happy memories.

precious youth
Valerie
The client, a woman, wants to recapture the crush she had when she met her husband. To do that, she needs to create a fragrance from scratch. Can you help me find some dried flowers?
Well done. These dried flowers smell so good! The moment I showed it to my client, she told me it was the same flower her husband gave her on their first date. Extract the essence immediately and add it to your perfume!

Scent of the Past
Valerie
A woman wants to regain her fading feelings for her husband. The scent of her favorite perfume may help her to remember her old feelings, but it has run out and is no longer in production. Can you bring me an empty perfume bottle?
Thank you. This vial contained the client lady's favorite perfume. I can't figure out what notes were used in the fragrance alone, but I'll experiment to see if I can make something similar.

Healing Massage
Callista
If Valerie hadn't contacted the Goddess of Love, I would have noticed the hole in the protective layer too late. As a token of my appreciation, I'd like to send her a nice smelling hand cream. Pick one that you think Valerie will like!
Campeque! This hand cream is great for massaging pressure points on the palms of my hands. It helps Valerie to cheer up when she's feeling lonely.

state of Zen
Cardsharp
Valerie almost got me into an unwanted marriage. What happens the next time she gets mad? No, the card-carrying con man would not tolerate such a thing! I have a special gift for you. You'll know it when you see it. Bring it here.
Bingo! Give Valerie this stress relieving toy. It's the perfect cure for boredom and depression. Maybe she'll feel the kindness of a card cheater and return the favor someday.

close friend
Detective
Valerie misses you? We're here. And her best friend, Eddie the ferret. I'll remind her. I printed out a picture of you and Eddie, but I forgot where I put it. Can you help me find it?
Thanks, buddy. Interesting photo of Valerie and Eddie. Spending time with friends is soothing. Even if it's a friend with a paw and a tail...or maybe it's because they have a paw and a tail!

creative activity
Juliette
I know how lonely Valerie feels. I'll teach her how to start self-care at a breakfast alone while Kalista looks for someone who is a good fit for her.
Breakfast alone is the perfect ritual to start the day. Working in the mistress's mansion, I rarely have time to rest, so the time to eat breakfast alone is precious to me.

Chase away the gloom.
Adeline Svensson
Valerie wrote to the goddess of love out of loneliness. But she has us! I think you should keep a journal to remember the good things in your life. It's in the gift shop. Can you find it?
Thank you. I'm so glad you found the emotion journal and the fun pen. I know you will love it! Writing down my feelings every day helps me remember that I'm not alone and that one day I'll find love.

Timid feelings
Juliette
I don't talk to anyone about my feelings. Sometimes I feel like my heart just doesn't have room for anything else. The protective layer accepts any amount of my love...this is my first Valentine's Day card. Take it!
I was going to do something different for this Valentine's Day card. But I forgot who I was going to send it to. My memory came back, but by then it was too late. I don't even know why I still have this card.
-
fleeting ties
Detective
On second thought, I think the most energy comes from good days. Once, with my girlfriend, we installed lovers' locks on a bridge. Can you help me find it?
Yeah, it's our lock. Someone must have cut them off. I told my girlfriend and she didn't remember any of our walks there! Or was she pretending not to remember? I don't know.
-
Memory fragments
Detective
I'd gladly share my emotional power to protect my girlfriend. She forgets every time I see her, so I've made sure to save some mementos... like this cup.
My girlfriend got upset when I told her how I felt and dropped this cup. I fixed it with glue and now it is in a tempered glass case. It means a lot to me.
-
Two Dances
Juliette
I'd give up my secrets in a heartbeat to save the city. I am in love. But I'm afraid to tell him. I even planned to ask him to a dance once and give him a nice boutonniere.
This boutonniere matched my necklace. But I didn't give it to my crush. I don't remember why I didn't give it to him. I'm so confused. I hope one day things will work out and we can be together.
-
A bold step
Detective
If the fate of the world is at stake, why not say it out loud? Yes, I'm in love. I don't know if she feels the same way. I've asked her out on many dates. This is one of those invitations.
I sent my girlfriend an invitation for a romantic date through the gutter above her room. I was trying to protect her privacy, but she never showed up. The invitation fell in a puddle, you see.
-
one's real intention
Callista
As a professional cupid, I can bring people together not by "fate" but by fine-tuning their attraction to each other. I also have the Goddess' permission. If you want confirmation, look at the Goddess symbol.
This symbol shows me that this work is official and that I am not lying. Love used to be a bleeding rough thing, but that has changed. I stopped using arrows a long time ago. Now I use perfume.

Engineering of Love
Callista
Don't like my match? Do you think these couples would not have turned to each other if not for the intervention? That may be true, but it's not the whole story. Have you seen my compass?
This compass changes the direction of sparks due to the couple's energy potential or personality differences. The goddess needed the maximum energy to fix the protective layer. So "destiny" had to take a back seat for a while.
-
rescue plan
Callista
These new couples may seem surprising, but they were brought together intentionally. Their diverse love potential provides more energy to the cracked barrier and accelerates the process of recovery. Can you find the generator I used to bring them together?
This generator is to create romantic pairs. The energy source is emotion, and I was experimenting to see which couple would generate the most energy.
-
Rules are meant to be broken.
Callista
We had to change the way we made couples. The city has become a hotbed of love anomalies because of its magical nature. Look at this map.
Of particular note are love from the future, date loops, encounters in dreams, and letters to the goddess of love asking for direct intervention. It was these anomalies that took the most energy from the protective layer.
-
Crisis from Beyond
Callista
You must have been surprised that so many people became couples so quickly. It was me. I'm here on a secret mission to save the world. A piece of the protective layer fell near here, can you retrieve it?
Thank you! That was quick. This shard is part of the protective layer that separates the human world from the world above where I live. Unfortunately, the barrier is thinning and it's because of this city.

Ordinary Chemistry
Callista
If you're looking for a magical trace of love, you'll never find it. Because it's forbidden. You can check the tools, too. There are no seeds or tricks. But I'll ask you to examine them just in case.
You would know the difference between a hydrosol and a love potion. I'm distilling roses right now. I sell this concoction, but it's not magic... that's what the psychic there says.
-
Consider your destiny
Juliette
Oh, no. Adeline looks like a different person. She's definitely under the influence of some kind of love spell. Maybe the fortune cookies were enchanted? Oh my... the last one fell under the counter. Can you get it for me?
Thanks for the fortune cookie! It says, "Your unrequited love is thinking of you right now." Hmmm, I wish this was magic, but alas, it's just words.
-
Together forever.
Adeline Svensson
Why won't anyone believe me about the Trump scammer and my true feelings? As a journalist, I'll do a thorough investigation. First, let's look for traces of love magic and any recent rituals. Have you seen any candles?
Lovely candles! Martha confirmed it's not magic, but it's perfect for a wedding with a card cheater. I'm inviting you too. Juliette has agreed to be my bridesmaid!
-
The Way to the Heart
Detective
You managed to get a warrant in time. Joo called it in. Someone is dabbling in dangerous magic. If that's the case, we're going to seize anything that might incriminate them. Buddy, did you notice anything suspicious?
Dragon drool? I knew you'd find something interesting and worth investigating. Callista says it's a love potion... something to enhance romantic feelings. But Martha says it's not magic.
-
sniff
Martha
Aromarium could be a cover for a powerful spell. That special combination of scents could be suppressing the magical smell and making it harder to trace. Maybe there's a chemical in that flask.
Sure, there are flavors in the flask... but none of them are magical, none of them are the seductive scents in question. This could be a decoy.
-
I love you. I don't love you.
Martha
If the card cheater charmed Adeline, why are the others falling in love too? Isabelle has the eyes of love too... is she under the spell too? She dropped her handkerchief. Can you pick it up?
Isabelle asked me to cast a spell that would make this handkerchief an everlasting keepsake. When I refused, she sprinkled it with a hauntingly scented perfume. Isabelle, who is usually so reserved, had lost herself!

The Science of Emotion
Adeline Svensson
My beloved Trump scammer didn't cast any love magic on me! I was taking time out of my busy schedule to help him. My professor asked me to fix a mistake in his paper. There is a poem hidden in the content. Can you find it?
Did you like the poem? It will be as beautiful as our thoughts. "The improbable constant from which all calculations eventually lead, that is you." The professor is a romantic in that way!
-
Dangerous connections
Juliette
The Trump con man denies he cast a love spell on Adeline. Part of me wants to believe him. Oh! He looks as if he's taut with love! I know another non-romantic who does. Can you find me a bouquet of protea?
Yeah, I know. This protea is being pulled out by the roots. The guide pulled it out of the flower bed right in front of me and said he wanted to turn the mistress around, but he was going to spray it with aromatherapy perfume before handing it over.
-
heart's commands
Martha
That Trump scammer is making impassioned speeches about love. Is he under the influence of magic too? Hmmm. But I've seen other similar cases recently. Have you seen bark with marks on it?
I've seen this bark marker before. It's the one that Huntress carved into the tree next to City Hall declaring her love for the mayor. Someone must have removed the bark and hidden it in the Aromarium.

From Enemies to Lovers
Cardsharp
Did you cast a love spell on Adeline? You're wrong to blame this card-carrying con artist! Me and her are finally seeing each other for who we really are. People are falling in love all over town! I'll prove it to you, if you can find me a broken guitar.
This is Agent Dipp's guitar. He left it here after he came to buy perfume for his matchmaker, Ju. They hated each other before, but now they're in love! Why is the guitar broken? Someone must have gotten sick of his serenades.
