Quest

These are the story/quests featured in Hidden City. There is a vast number of stories, and please note that the order and categories are unorganized, so it might be a bit difficult to navigate. Thank you for your understanding.

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?

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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?

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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!

First Aromarium
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.

First Aromarium
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.

First 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.

First Aromarium
I don't know what's going to happen.

Mayor

If you and your friends will go down to the dungeon and save a lost woman, I will tell you where the key is hidden. That's the exchange. Do you agree? Then listen to me. The key is hidden in the dungeon below the treasure chest. But it can only be opened with the magical triple amulet. When the amulet approaches the hiding place, it begins to glow. But I don't know where this amulet is.

I kept my word and showed you where the key was. Now it is your turn. Save the woman in the back of the dungeon who is calling for help.

Cards of Fate
Fragrant Paradise

Juliette

Oh, what a lovely place! It smells divine right from the entrance. There are so many different scents, but none of them are too overpowering. I'm excited to go inside and enjoy more.

Look, it smells wonderful! Perfumes, colognes, oils...and look over there! Soap, candles, and even violet and vanilla scented candy? But I don't see the card cheater. Where did he go?

First Aromarium
Lured by the scent

Juliette

Finding the first aromarium should be easy. The wonderful aromas are spreading throughout the city and getting stronger and stronger. It must be this way. There it is. That pink building. That's where we'll catch the card cheaters!

The Aromarium just recently opened and I hadn't been there yet. It doesn't look like a card-carrying con artist is interested in scents, but what's he doing in there? Are they looking for some new love magic ingredient?

First Aromarium
Gentle vibration

Alford Stone

All that remains is the final fine-tuning. Soon the whistle will be used to completely drive away the misty starlings. The whistle is complete when the vibrato feathers are made from blue bird feathers and bell paint.

Stunning! Thanks to this vibrato feather, I was able to tune the flute to the notes listed in the book. Now the whistle is ready. All that remains is to choose the correct words, i.e., the melody.

Quiet Promenade
Singing Stones

Alford Stone

The prototype of the whistle is complete. All that remains is to tune it so that it can drive away the misty starlings. I brought a special stone for this purpose. Can you find a stone with a he clef and bring it to me?

If you tune your flute with this he clef stone, you will be able to speak with the birds in their language. What do you think we should tell them? "Go away, or I'll roast you whole!" Is this enough to get the message across?

Quiet Promenade
Fragile tools

Carlos Light

Mr. Alford asked me to borrow his quartz drill. He said he needed it to make a whistle to scare away the misty starlings on the boardwalk. I brought the drill, but I got distracted by that dessert and forgot where I put it. Can you help me find it?

Thank goodness you brought a drill. This is a valuable tool for drilling holes in almost any material. The bits are very sturdy, but they are fragile if used incorrectly. Could you be careful not to break it, Mr. Alford?

Quiet Promenade
wind instrument

Alford Stone

We know how to get rid of the misty starlings, but it is not easy. You need a special whistle made from a blue elm branch. Fortunately, this tree grows nearby; just pick up one branch.

These blue elm branches are wonderful. According to the Book of Rituals, the blue elm can turn any sound into the voice of nature. In other words, it can speak to animals and birds. I am going to have a word with that misty starling!

Quiet Promenade
sweet wreckage

Alford Stone

My Book of Rituals contains descriptions of amulets to counter flying magical creatures. I know what I'm talking about. The birds here are not like ordinary birds that visit the balcony. Look, look at what's left of my dessert. Those guys got it.

Voila! That damned bird pecked and smooshed my dessert! According to the book, those guys are called "misty starlings". You can see it in this illustration. Finally, it's my turn...we all have to save this city from those pesky birds.

Quiet Promenade
Traces of mirage

Vera

To get rid of the ghostly apparitions, we need to polish the anti-mist crystals. What do we do with the crystal powder that still has traces of the mirage? I'm sure it can be used for other purposes. Can you collect them?

You're right. This mirage powder should work wonders in your next invention. I got the idea while polishing the crystal. It turns ghostly visions into fun attractions!

Quiet Promenade
side-by-side danger

Vera

I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of the "ghosts" that have been sighted. It seems to have something to do with the mirage that recently appeared on the boardwalk, but I need a grinder to test my theory.

I'll use this machine to scrape off a thin layer of the surface of the anti-fog crystal inside the lamp to examine it. Voila! Just as I thought, the mirage was creating an illusion by leaving traces on the crystal.

Quiet Promenade
sight as pleasing as the eye

Vera

Better figure out why the ghosts appear so they don't scare the people in town any more. Oh, by the way, the bookstore owner said the centaur ghost chased him through town! Let's check to see if he's still there.

I knew I was right. It was the reflection of the statue that the bookstore owner thought was the ghost of the centaur. It's a statue of a horseman, so it resembled a centaur in shape. All the sightings so far have occurred at dusk by a lamppost. I think I may have figured out what's going on.

Quiet Promenade
A familiar stranger.

Vera

We need to make sure that people in town can walk safely at night. The ghost was last seen under a lamppost not far from here. They say it was a scary woman with scissors. Let's go take a look.

This ghost lady looks familiar. Oh, I get it! She's the one tending the flowers at the florist across the street. See, there's no need to be afraid. But why would she show up here as a ghost?

Quiet Promenade
dimly lit shadow

Vera

You better make sure you're right before you chase ghosts out of town... because they may not even exist. Could the fog be causing them to hallucinate? We need a fog sensor to get a more definitive answer. Can you help me find it?

Thanks for finding the fog sensor! According to the readings, there appears to be very little fog in the air. Which means that the ghost sighting was not caused by fog. Oh boy...it would be so much easier if I could see this ghost with my own eyes.

Quiet Promenade
Looks are everything.

Ali Vazir

The fate of a new cocktail depends on how good it looks. In other words, the more attractive it looks, the easier it will sell. Start by pouring it into a good-looking glass.

This is lovely! The perfect glass for "Summer Hit." Let's taste it right away. Well...it still tastes medicinal. And it's so cold it makes my teeth hurt. This is because of the flora herb! This will ruin the cocktail.

Quiet Promenade
Ingredients chilled to a crisp

Ali Vazir

Summer cocktails must be served ice cold. The problem is that the ice melts quickly in the heat, but fortunately we have already thought of a solution. I plan to use a rare fruit called the iced mangosteen. Can you help me peel it?

Thank you for peeling the iced mangosteen so well. Thanks to you, the cocktail became cold and...oh, it started to foam! I did not expect this. It seems that we accidentally created what the experts call a "molecular dish".

Quiet Promenade
Scent of the meadow

Flora Alvarez

Mr. Wazir asked me for an aromatic herb. It's a summer cocktail, so he wants it to have a "punchy" flavor. Can you help me pack these boxes with particularly fragrant herbs?

It is a very wonderfully aromatic herb. But when Mr. Wazir added this to his cocktail, the other flavors were overpowered and it tasted medicinal. Hope you continue to improve your recipes...

Quiet Promenade
Juicy base

Ali Vazir

The main selling point of a summer beverage is that it is just so refreshing. To achieve this, we need freshly squeezed juice. We don't use any commercial ingredients. In fact, I brought my favorite juicer. Isn't it handy? I'm sure it was around here somewhere. Can you help me find it?

Look at this freshly squeezed juice! With this, you can make refreshing and flavorful cocktails. How about this advertising slogan? "Refreshing summer hits everywhere!" ...but it still doesn't taste great.

Quiet Promenade
Recipes that never fail

Ali Vazir

It's been a long time since I've bartended. The concept of this cocktail is simple. It is refreshing, easy to drink, and affordable. I wrote down the recipe somewhere... can you help me find it?

Thank you, I have been looking for this recipe for a while now. This is the recipe I was looking for. I have arranged it a bit to make it even more delicious. What should we name it? Oh yes, I have an idea! How about "Summer Hit"?

Quiet Promenade
Into the sky

Ollie Articus

This rescue mission must be successful. The collectors have calculated every detail of the mirage. We have even built an atmospheric probe to accurately measure humidity and temperature. Can you help us launch it?

You have good taste! The probe has already reached the required altitude. In a few seconds, it will begin receiving the data it needs to identify the perfect moment to deceive the disciples.

Quiet Promenade
Expected Precipitation

Ollie Articus

The mirage is also strictly humidity requirements. To achieve this, the collector plans to use cloud-generating silver. There should be some in powder form nearby. Could you please look for it?

Thank you for finding cloud-generating silver. Collectors use a special device to release it into the atmosphere, and the silver causes rainfall that raises humidity to a level ideal for mirages.

Quiet Promenade
heated atmosphere

Collector

Let's remember an important principle that Ollie taught us. The ground must be heated uniformly. The magma core is what we will use. Let's work together to set it up, being careful not to burn ourselves.

Thank God they lent me a hand. It was dangerous to install the magma core alone. See how hot the pavement is getting under your feet? You'd better step away from it. It will get hotter soon.

Quiet Promenade
Let there be light!

Collector

An astronomer sent me a message via a dovecote. He said that the sun's rays were at the best angle for mirages. The light can be enhanced by installing crystal reflectors.

Good! The reflectors have brought the brightness up to the required level. The mirage should form at the brightest point on the boardwalk.

Quiet Promenade
Lighting! Camera! Action!

Collector

The goal here is to create a mirage that looks like the real thing. First, I want you to find a projection camera borrowed from Mr. and Mrs. Capuchin and place it in the center of the street.

Excellent. The projection camera feeds the designer's image into the fantasmoscope. With this technology, the "shadow" hideout should look as realistic as the floating island.

Quiet Promenade
Behind the Truth

Collector

The phantasmoscope requires a special component. The master designed a chrono-distorter that temporarily suspends time. This allows the designer to break into the tower and free the puppeteer. Please find it.

The Chrono Distorter is still a prototype. The Master has caused great problems with such devices in the past. But I promise you that when the Guardians set everything right and we are all free from the "shadows," peace will be restored to the city.

Quiet Promenade
plausible topography

Collector

Zoe, or the designer, discovered the entrance to the "shadow" hideout. We agreed to use the mirage to rescue the puppeteer, but unfortunately the entrance to the hideout is moving. We need to hurry. Get the scale modulator ready.

The scale modulator guarantees the realism of the mirage. The mirage of the Shadow's hideout should appear as a gloomy tower shrouded in fog. The apprentices will be drawn to it while the designer releases the puppeteer from the real tower.

Quiet Promenade
Illusions of Deception

Collector

Only my phantasmoscope can create a mirage powerful enough to fool the "shadow" disciples who guard the puppeteer's body. First, I need a polished crystal. Can you find it for me?

This crystal, like the floating island I had just created, adds depth and dimension to the mirage. The island was intended to distract the film crew and allow them to borrow the projection camera, an essential component of the Fantasmoscope. Don't worry, we'll get it back.

Quiet Promenade
cosmic intervention

Collector

We need to complete the mirage machine, formally known as the "Fantasmoscope". The lives of my fellow guardians are in danger and time is short. While I stabilize the enclosure, you will find the solar protractor.

This solar protractor was created by the astronomer Arcturus. It was used to calculate the exact angle of the sun's rays in order to create a mirage that would look like the real thing. It was needed to save his friend, the puppeteer.

Quiet Promenade
Unexpected Encounter

Collector

Surprised to see me emerge from under the invisibility cap? This is no trick...this is science. If you need proof that I am indeed a collector, look at this. It's an initiation ring. See for yourself.

All members of the Order of the Five Wise Guardians wear rings like this one. You have seen the rings of astronomers and designers. We are preparing for an important mission and your cooperation is essential.

Quiet Promenade
airborne means of transportation

Ollie Articus

I think that island is also a mirage, but of a more unusual kind. I have seen similar apparitions in the desert, but never in the city! See that upside down carriage? That is a higher level mirage. Let's observe it more closely.

This is a textbook example of an upper level mirage! It is fascinating to see it so clear and so close. This type of mirage is usually created only at a distance. It is unbelievable.

Quiet Promenade
The Sun of Suspicion

Mr. Black

The distortion and the island itself may have some connection to the sun. Otherwise, why would someone bring a solar calendar here? I saw it placed on the chest wall earlier. Can you get it for me?

The existence of this solar calendar is suspicious. I am having the science department investigate the connection between the island and the celestial bodies. I will turn this over to them for analysis as well.

Quiet Promenade
Thoughts of others

Mr. Black

That floating island is a spark for disaster. We need to figure out how it was created to prevent a catastrophe. I noticed a notebook with a compass nearby. It might belong to a scientist. Look for it.

This notebook is full of valuable information. Look at these drawings. Many are mirror images, similar to the dual phenomena observed in the city. You're getting to the heart of the matter!

Quiet Promenade
as alike as two melons (two peas in a pod)

Mr. Black

A breakthrough is near. If we can identify the person who is creating this distortion, we may be able to neutralize the threat. We found a sketch that looks a lot like the floating island. Can you find any similarities?

From these sketches and fragments of notes, it is clear that someone is attempting to recreate the distortion in the city, first practicing on a small object. But I will stop them.

Quiet Promenade
high price

Alford Stone

I cast the spell twice. The magic should have pushed the island away from the city, but nothing happened. Was the voice of the spell not loud enough? Perhaps you can amplify my voice with your artifact. May I borrow some of them?

It's a powerful artifact! Did you hear my voice? It roared like a thunderclap. But the island did not move at all, and the vibrations shattered the display case of a nearby store. Damn those witches!

Quiet Promenade
under protection

Alford Stone

I got so caught up in trying to erase the island that I almost forgot the most important part. Safety measures. We need a double amulet to protect ourselves from magical repercussions. Could you please fetch it for me?

At last we are ready. The double amulet has been secured. The chalk symbols, though not as artistic as they should be, are done. It is time to cast the spell. Please step back. This is powerful magic, so do not get involved.

magic rune

Alford Stone

I will try to convince Director Black to explain that the magical ritual can remove that witch's island. An ancient scroll states that we need a spirit choke. Could you please find it for me while I practice my spells?

It is perfect! This genie's chalk pours its magic into the symbols I draw. Circles and stars...well, to be honest, I am not the best painter in the world, but at least I should be able to pronounce the spell correctly. Maybe.

Quiet Promenade
Invisible Enemies

Alford Stone

According to the scroll, a magical crystal hidden somewhere on the floating island empowers the witches. We need a geospyglass to observe the island more closely. Can you help me find it nearby?

Thanks! I can't see the witch in the sky even when I look through this high magnification geospyglass. The crystal is probably inert and not yet casting a spell at the moment. This is the perfect opportunity to perform the ritual and banish the witch!

Quiet Promenade
safety regulation

Alford Stone

That magical island brought to us by the witches could fall on our heads at any moment. That means it is dangerous to stand under it without protection. You need a sturdy helmet, just like mine!

You have chosen a good helmet. I hope you won't need it when you approach the island. Director Black does not believe in magic rituals, but I will prove their effectiveness.

Quiet Promenade
Keep Off!

Mr. Black

I don't believe in the illusion, but just in case, let's cordon off the area to keep onlookers out while Mr. Stone prepares for his ritual or whatever it is. Can you set up a no trespassing fence?

Well done. No one gets through without permission. Mr. Stone is a man who will stick his neck out at the slightest hint of magic. Let's see if he's telling the truth.

uninvited extra

Lewis Capuchin

I have lost a lot in this bizarre event, but more importantly, I still can't find the camera! Director Black keeps blaming me for that. In the scene just before, we were filming a scene where the defenders fight a werewolf. Can you please find the mask the performer was wearing?

There was only one werewolf mask, and yet somehow, what was shown was a pack of distorted werewolves! Wait, I have an idea. Let's show the footage to Director Black. Oh, no. The film is torn.

Quiet Promenade
undisclosed scene

Lewis Capuchin

Director Black will review the script. The movie is about the defenders and there is no floating island. But the situation is more serious. During the commotion, my assistant saw her doppelganger. She threw a kachinoko at it and it disappeared. Can you find the kachinko?

Good. The cracks are there, but the cachinas are almost in pristine condition. The poor assistant was completely deranged. Of course, if we were planning such extensive special effects, we would warn the crew in advance.

Quiet Promenade
outside the script

Lewis Capuchin

We had to prove to Director Black that the appearance of the island had nothing to do with our shooting. But with such a mess... all the performers ran off and left the props behind. Would you please clean up the remaining items with us?

Thank you. I will return the broken props to the video artist. I may be able to reuse some of them. We lost a lot of money because of that damned island. The producers are half-mad.

Quiet Promenade
technical problem

Lewis Capuchin

I didn't even notice the island in the first place. I was getting ready to shoot when I heard shouting. I couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of me. The cameraman turned off the lights and ran away. I hope we can fix it...but first we have to find it.

Thank you. However, I don't think any craftsman can repair these stage lights. It was used together with a camera made by the Five Wise Guardians, but the camera disappeared when everyone panicked.

Quiet Promenade
agony of childbirth

Lewis Capuchin

The theme this time is the defenders... not the floating island or the compaito! I don't know where those ridiculous things came from. Filming would be a disaster, and I'd have to explain the whole thing to Director Black. Oh, where did I put my filming permit...?

Thank you! Thanks to you, I will be able to avoid going to jail. With this permit, you can prove that taking pictures on the boardwalk is not against the rules. I also have a list of equipment here, and my missing camera is also listed.

Quiet Promenade
creative process

Mr. Black

Excellent. My men evicted the onlookers from the boardwalk. For the safety of the residents, of course. The shopkeepers have decided to stay. Let's ask them if they saw anything suspicious before the island showed up.

According to witnesses, the island materialized the moment filming began. I hope this is not some new special effects technique. Where are the Capuchins? We need an answer!

lucky leaf

Valerie

I'm going to win this year's Easter Egg Hunt. What makes me so confident? Don't tell anyone, but I actually have a four-leaf clover good luck charm... where did I put it? I'm stumped. Can you help me find it?

Good! You found the four-leaf clover amulet. You almost missed it. It was stuck in the egg basket, wasn't it? That must be a good sign. I'm sure you'll win!

Valerie

Now that I no longer have to worry about getting lost, I need to collect as many eggs as possible to win. Can you go find me some butterfly glasses? I'll explain why later.

Yes, I needed these butterfly glasses. They're cute as accessories, but they have special tape on them that makes it easier to find the Easter eggs in the green maze.

SOS

Valerie

I'm sorry that my ferret, Eddie, can't join me in the Easter Egg Hunt. The rules state that he can't go into the maze with his partner. But if you do get lost, you should be able to ask him for help. Can you bring Eddie's whistle?

Yes! This is the whistle to call Eddie. Unlike me, Eddie has a great sense of direction. So if I get lost, I'll call him and he'll lead me out of the maze.

Unexpected appearance

Valerie

What if I get so caught up in looking for eggs in the maze that I don't realize until too late that I'm running out of string? It's frightening just to think about it! Can you bring a smoke bomb just in case?

This lipstick-shaped smoke bomb is so cute! I'd feel safer with it in my pocket. If I get lost, I can signal right away. Just be careful not to mistake it for a real lipstick.

winding road

Valerie

I read a long time ago about a brave young man who used a strand of yarn to keep from getting lost in a maze. I'm thinking of using the same kind of long, dependable yarn for my Easter egg hunt. Or maybe some yarn... can you help me?

This yarn is perfect! It's long, dependable and very durable! Is it made of alpaca hair? If so, the magic in it will help me not to get lost in the maze.

Familiar footprints

Florian

The detective showed me the footprints left by the criminal who recovered the Easter eggs. Those footprints look familiar...yes, it's a mole! Check out the area around the mole's house.

Now we know. The footprints around Moggy the Mole's house are exactly the same as the ones the detectives found! Moggy always helps me with my gardening, but what did he want with my Easter eggs?

Garden of Oblivion
Tracking Clues

Detective

Now I know why the hidden camera trick failed. The camera was positioned too high. Florian hid the eggs near where the grass was growing. So I came up with another strategy. Could you bring a stamp stand?

I placed a stamp stand next to an Easter egg buried in the grass. Then guess what? The thief approached his prey and left a clear trail of footprints. And when you follow the footprints...wait. There's a disconnect here!

commemorative photograph

Detective

Let's set up a hidden camera. We'll put a decoy egg in front of the camera to lure the perp. I hope it gets caught... Hey buddy, can you help me set up the camera?

It appears that the perpetrator noticed the camera and did not take the eggs, but I checked the footage to be sure. It shows several birds, but they showed no interest in the eggs... what's going on?

Green Studio
dirty thief

Detective

Someone must be playing a joke on the gardener. It's also possible that the culprit tampered with the Easter eggs themselves. Let's see if there are any clues left. If you see any unusual looking eggs, bring them to me.

These Easter eggs are covered in mud. Florian said he hid the eggs in a spot where they wouldn't get dirty so that the residents wouldn't have to wash them later. Yet, somehow, the culprit put the eggs back in the dirt...

Green Studio
outrageous crime

Florian

Thanks for your cooperation. It was an eggy incident, just eggs...sorry. Joking aside, I hid Easter eggs in the maze to enjoy the egg hunt. However, someone collected them all and put them back in the basket. Could you please bring them back?

Filled with Easter eggs, right? There are a whopping 183 of them in the box. I can't believe it! But how did they manage to find them so easily? I had to be very creative in hiding them. They shouldn't be so easy to find...

Scent of paint

Florian

People with synesthesia are said to be able to associate certain colors with smells. I do not, but I would like to give my wife some paints that evoke fond memories. Could you help me grind some mint leaves?

Thank you for helping me grind the mint leaves. The smell is so strong you can smell it from the other side of the greenhouse! My wife and I used to grow mint in the house we used to live in. Wouldn't this scent bring back the house that was swallowed by the fog?

Green Studio
Transparent Magic

Florian

There is one more color I would like to add to my paint set to bring my Aurora landscape paintings to life. Yes, the color of morning mist. As for this color, it may be easier to explain after you actually get it.

The paint made from morning mist is transparent, which is why it is so special. Just adding it adds depth and brilliance to any color. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than a garden surrounded by a gentle mist.

Colors of Nature

Florian

Hyacinths will have a special meaning this Memorial Day. Because...I planted a large number of hyacinths in my garden! Aside from that, I will use a different flower for the next color. Can you help me squeeze the juice out of the iris?

The juice of the iris produces a very attractive purple color... just the right color to add to your paint set! The juice of various flowers can be used as a dye for clothes. My wife, Aurora, also enjoys dyeing a lot.

warmth of a painting

Florian

My wife loves bright yellow like the sun. I wish I could add that color in some way to the gift...Oh yes, I have an idea! Could you collect dandelion pollen?

That was amazing speed! Collecting dandelion pollen is not easy, but it makes a wonderful paint. If Aurora used these colors, it would be as if the sun were shining through the painting!

Lively sketches

Florian

My wife Aurora is the greatest artist of all. Although...I don't know many other artists! I would like to give her some art supplies for our anniversary that will bring her landscapes to life. First, look for a blooming pencil.

Thanks for finding my blooming pencils. My wife always starts with a sketch before adding color to her landscapes. With this pencil, I am sure her paintings will come alive and bloom.

Florian

Now all I have to do is put the strange stone back in the box. I confess that I thought it was a whetstone and used it to sharpen my garden pruning shears. If you bring it to me, I'll tell you another interesting story.

The girl in the spring says she can talk to animals using this stone. When I heard Moggy the Mole talking I thought he had heat stroke from the sun lamps!
