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.
-
red light
Martha
Since we don't know the cause of Matilda's anger, it's best to observe her emotional state. Angry ghosts are dangerous. Find the twilight bell. It's a sound that tells us if there's danger.
The tone of the twilight bells, in tune with the vibrations of the ether, will help us to examine the mood of Matilda's ghosts. They should be able to communicate safely, out of harm's way.
-
Mysterious drops
Martha
Matilda should find it easier to communicate with the black dew. Ghosts can reflect themselves in the dew. The black dew can be collected from the mourning orchid. We must find the orchid first.
That is the most beautiful mourning orchid I have ever seen! More importantly, there is enough black dew on the petals for a special seance. I'll collect the dew with my chalice.
-
Invite brilliance
Martha
We'll know what happened when Matilda tells us what happened. But ghosts don't like to communicate through the wija board. So, look for the mother-of-pearl chalice.
Well done. This chalice of mother of pearl attracts ghosts with its enigmatic glow. No matter how angry Matilda is, I am sure she will be interested.
-
conspiracy
Lawrence de Bertrand
But my beloved sister passed away suddenly... I ordered my servants not to throw away her belongings, so if you look, you will find the books she loved to read. She used to read in the garden.
Yes, this is my sister's romance novel! Matilda loves romance novels...oh, my sister's death was really hard to bear. However, my life has become a nightmare itself since she started appearing in my life at night.
-
Delicate formwork
Lawrence de Bertrand
I did my best to take care of my sister on behalf of my parents. I bought her the finest outfits. But Matilda preferred reading and beautiful embroidery. Could you please help me find some of my sister's work?
Thank you for finding my sister's embroidery. Matilda's work is outstandingly elegant. Perhaps it is because she was surrounded by all things beautiful. I assure you, my sister would have had everything she needed to live comfortably and without inconvenience!
-
Accurate household finances
Lawrence de Bertrand
I have never dabbled in magic, nor do I even believe in it. When I inherited the mansion, I was busy taking care of the house and had my trusty abacus with me without fail. But where did the abacus go? Finding a reliable abacus.
So you found an abacus! Oh, how I wish I could go back to the days when calculating income accurately was most important. But I was not born under such fateful stars.
-
lavish customer
Lawrence de Bertrand
I am haunted by ghosts. It is nothing but nightmares and I cannot sleep at all! I need to have a dialogue with this spirit. I will pay generously for a seance. Oh, where is my wallet?
Yes, that is my wallet. Please give it to the medium. I will pay more money if you get rid of this nightmare. I am wealthy and I own land all around here. No, technically, I "owned" it. Where exactly is this place?
-
A mansion that holds a mystery
Detective
Somewhere in this shady place, I heard a man calling out to someone named Matilda or something. But I'm the one who's got to go first. Let's go find out who came to town this time, buddy.
It's not like someone is waiting for us, so we can take our time to check it out. Hmmm, the mansion didn't seem to have any storm damage, so maybe it really was the owner of the mansion who called the storm. Who on earth could it be?
-
Interpreting Conversations
Kira Woodville
Soon you will be able to understand the conversations of these pigeons! I've brought along a special sound reproduction device that has the ability to play back acoustic analysis charts and translate the birds' words into human language. Here, look!
This sound reproducer converts the pigeons' conversations into words. That said, it can't verbalize every word, but it should give you a rough idea of what it means. Hey... did you hear that? I guess it worked!
-
Sound Visualization
Vera
I've visualized the frequency and amplitude of the cooing in an analytical chart to help decipher the conversation of the carrier pigeons. Take a close look at this diagram and give me your opinion.
This acoustic analysis chart is a visualization of the cooing of a pigeon. Some ornithologists claim that the frequency and amplitude of bird calls are consistent with those of human language, so let's test the truth of this claim!
-
Retention of audio recordings
Vera
What are those pigeons talking about in their dovecote? Create a database of recordings of bird conversations and sort them by date. I've brought a recording device, can I ask you to check if it works?
Thanks for checking out my recording device. It's working fine, and it has a built-in amplifier so I can hear the dove's cooing clearly and vividly. It's going to be a lot of work, but we'll get a lot out of it!
-
birdcall
Kira Woodville
The next step in understanding the language of the carrier pigeons is to collect samples of their calls. We need a recording of the pigeons' conversation. I brought a microphone, but where did I put it? -Can you help me find it?
Thank you! It's a highly sensitive microphone that incorporates the latest technology. Let's install it in the pigeon coop and listen to the cooing. They won't be offended, and we'll be able to hear every sound!
-
Conventional survey instruments
Vera
To understand the conversations among the carrier pigeons, let's first go back to basics and check out the books of some of the city's most prominent ornithologists. Do you find any descriptions that might be useful?
I knew it, Keira, you are a brilliant researcher! If only we had a manual on the principles of bird communication, we'd be one step closer to decoding pigeon conversations. Now it's just a matter of technology!
-
Noted Letter Carrier.
Leon
We were able to prepare a variety of training for our carrier pigeons! Some pigeons will break records in the future! The pigeons have a special mark on their wings. May I borrow an artifact to refill my stamp?
With the help of the artifact, I was able to mark the dove's feather with a recording stamp. It will last until the feathers grow back. But I am not obsessed with their achievements. I am proud of all my pigeons!
-
Work call
Rayden Storke
The pigeons are now ready to participate in the training, but pigeons are essentially wild birds. When they are not working, they fly wherever they like. Let's train them to fly in immediate response to our calls. See that traffic light over there?
This traffic light mimics the cooing of a pigeon. I got it from Leon. If a signal is emitted from here, the pigeons will soon come to pick up the package to be delivered.
-
Toy predator
Leon
The carrier pigeons may encounter various hazards while carrying documents. For example, you should train them to escape quickly if they encounter a bird of prey. There should be a hawk ornament around here, so please bring it with you.
Thank you for finding the hawk ornament! It looks realistic and has an audio module to make it more realistic. This will make the carrier pigeons run away when they sense danger.
-
Power in the Wings
Rayden Storke
Leon has asked me to train the carrier pigeons and I am taking this very seriously. We should also incorporate weightlifting training so that the pigeons can carry parcels without difficulty! How about these dumbbells?
As you say, these are not dumbbells, but weights. By the way, these weights are used to weigh letters. Pigeons can improve their bodies through repeated training in lifting weights. The weights should be increased gradually.
-
Wings that defy the wind
Rayden Storke
I know it's not easy to train pigeons, but I've come up with a great idea. Pigeons have to deliver packages without delay even in bad weather, right? So I made a training blower. Would you like to see it?
Glad you like the training blower. Training with it should enhance the physical capabilities of the carrier pigeons. Then they will be able to adapt quickly to bad weather and won't be blown away by gusts of wind.
-
moral training
Leon
As a caretaker of a pigeon coop, I believe that as long as I am taking care of pigeons, I also need proper training. I intend to train not only my muscles but also my mind! Can you bring some educational toys for the pigeons?
The use of educational toys was advised by scientist Charles Zaenti. He is using these tools to train his crow secretaries. I would like to train my pigeons in a similar environment!
-
hard worker
Ursula Hartley
We need one more exhibit for the memorial! Yes, we should also display a carving of a telegraph operator's woodpecker!
This woodpecker telegraph operator carving is just like the real thing. People from the city are flocking to the memorial to see it!
-
talking bird
Leon
I would like to add a few more exhibits to the memorial. Oh, by the way, there is an ornithologist who taught an owl how to talk. The Messenger Pigeon House issued a postage stamp to commemorate that accomplishment. It should be around here somewhere, so can you help me find it?
Thanks for finding the talking owl stamp. This should also be on display at the memorial. By the way, I understand that the Capuchins have a film of the owl talking, so I will request a tape of that as well.
-
versatile bird
Leon
Do you know Miss Gwendolini? She's a very famous crow who works as a secretary for scientist Charles Zaenti. She can also answer the phone! I have created an interactive model that mimics her, may I ask you to check how it works?
The interactive model of a raven moves just like a live raven. It should be displayed in the appropriate place in the memorial. Miss Gwendolini is a versatile bird. Without her, the memorial would not be possible.
-
Birds other than pigeons
Ursula Hartley
I understand that Leon recently successfully trained a swallow to deliver a letter. This is an unprecedented accomplishment! This feat should also be displayed in the bird memorial. The swallow ornament you ordered has just arrived, so could you please look for it?
Thank you for finding the biographical swallow figurine. It will be a beautiful display piece for the new memorial. It seems that the power of the fog has had an effect on the swallows' ability to learn.
-
For the city
Leon
The first thing I would like to display in the memorial hall to honor the achievements of the bird, which will be set up in one of the pigeons' huts, is a reconnaissance pigeon that served in the Security Bureau. Is this a good photo?
This is a perfect photo to display at the memorial. Many people may not know about the activities of this pigeon, so it should be displayed in an easily visible location.
-
Conclusive evidence
Mr. Black
What Leon's pigeons have stolen may reveal the identity of the culprit. What we have so far is circumstantial evidence, but if it is an envelope that has not yet been sent and is unopened, could it reveal the identity of the culprit? Let's find out!
I recognize the sealing wax I just examined. The monogram on the sealing wax is an M, exactly the same one used by the suspect in the case I mentioned. This is important evidence, you know!
-
Last material
Cardsharp
We've got most of what we need! Now all we need is whiskey!
That's what I'm talking about, buddy! Let's use your talent and my brain to make the best cocktails ever!
-
The Sound of Music
Mr. Black
What else did the pigeons bring back from the killer's hideout? There may be a lead on the suspect. I have a few ideas, but I have to check them out first. Do you recognize this amulet? Check it out!
This amulet is the physical evidence of the secret organ case that I mentioned earlier, which we also know. A certain scientist used this key amulet to seal a strange instrument, which distorted time.
-
distorted time
Kira Woodville
Among the items the doves have stolen from the perpetrator's hideout is an important clue that leads to the identity of the perpetrator. What I find curious is the strange hourglass. There is something...wrong with it. What do you think?
Yes, it is. The sand in this hourglass flows from bottom to top. It seems the killer knows how to manipulate time. Hmm... I have heard information about a similar person from a colleague in Lower City.
-
connect the dots
Mr. Black
This culprit is really getting on my nerves. It is now a matter of my honor to expose him for who he really is. To that end, let's check out what the pigeons brought back from their hideout. I think I saw a scrap of a photograph. Can you find it?
Okay, I think I found a scrap of a photo. It shows a part of a wall, or a hidden door, but it looks familiar. I see! This is what I saw in the classified case evidence!
-
Distinctive objects
Mr. Black
Thanks to the pigeon's habit of stealing, we have a few clues. It may lead us to the identity of the culprit. Let's get right to it. What do you think of this violin-shaped brooch?
Yes, it is. It is possible that this brooch means something. A souvenir, or something stolen, I can't imagine, but maybe the killer was a musician in the past. Or maybe he was simply a music connoisseur.
-
Listen to the sound of the bad guys
Mr. Black
If we send out pigeons to save them, let's give one of them a bug to listen in on the culprit's hideout. Of course, the sound will also tell us if the pigeons are safe. Find Mike.
You've found the best microphone. It is so sensitive that it can even detect the footsteps of a rat sneaking into a criminal's hideout. I'll put this in the bag I put the pigeon in.
-
invisible shield
Leon
My pigeons save my colleagues' pigeons. There is no other way. I am so worried that I might lose all my pigeons. Keira told me that she had the defensive dome brought to the dovecote. Can you please find it?
I see that you have brought a defensive dome with you! As I understand it, this device creates a barrier that protects the pigeons from anomalies, various weapons, and energy influences, in short, "magic".
-
Latest Inventions
Kira Woodville
Rescuing trapped pigeons with pigeons. This is quite a challenge. The stolen dove is supposed to be trapped in a birdcage. How to open the birdcage and save the pigeon? Find a lock-picking robot.
The robot you found is the latest invention from the Security Service. This robot recognizes the keyhole and opens the door with a universal key. It is so lightweight that even a pigeon could easily carry it.
-
Spy Weapons
Mr. Black
Okay, let's rescue Leon's pigeon. At the same time, we're going to investigate the perpetrators' hideout and their activities. One of the pigeons we send out will have a camera. Let's see if it works.
Nice, the camera works fine. By the way, this was created by the Security Bureau back when they used pigeons to conduct surveillance. Even if they fail to rescue the pigeons, at least they will be able to locate where they are being held.
-
Searching for missing pigeons
Leon
I have something that can help save missing pigeons. My pigeons have a beacon in case they get lost. But the beacon has stopped working. Probably due to fog. Can you help me find a small radar?
This is a radar that tracks my pigeons. If I release the pigeons, they will fly towards the culprit's hideout. If I give the pigeons a signal booster, this radar should be able to detect the pigeons caught by this radar. However, there is no booster.
-
color of thought
Leon
I am not comfortable opening an old parcel, but I am trying to figure out why the culprit needs the parcel. It also contained a wire that my pigeons would have enjoyed. Is this also a part of the device?
These colored lights...um, did you say sensors? What does it react to? Vila says it's something that reacts to electrical signals in the brain.
-
In-depth research
Mr. Black
Check all the packages! Don't miss a single one that the killer might be after! Vila found a bottle with something disgusting in it. It seems to be important. Do you know what this is?
He said he examined the bottle and found that the slime was a kind of snail mucus. What on earth would they use it for, no way, as a conductor of electric current? What were you scientists doing...?
-
The Power of Thought
Leon
Examine an old parcel that you think may be of interest to the perpetrator. Thanks to the device sketch, I noticed that it contains something suspicious. Can you find the electrodes?
So there were electrodes! Looking at the sketch, I am pretty sure this is something that is worn on the head. According to Vila, this is used to measure brain activity. Let's see... bioelectrical impulses! Very interesting!
-
energy converter
Vera
The killer said he was interested in an old parcel, but what was in it? In the package, I found what was described in the sketch. It's a piece of equipment. Let's check out this battery.
Thanks to you, I have solved the mystery of this battery. It converts energy into impulses similar to those that occur in the human brain. Let's call it a neural battery. I'm curious as to the purpose of this component.
-
Mystery Model
Mr. Black
This old parcel that the killer wants, I'm curious to know what's in it too. I opened it and examined it, and a sketch of some kind of device caught my eye. Let's check it out.
Any idea what this device is? Logically, the killer's goal would be this device. I had Keira call Veera Wright since the station staff is out disarming bombs.
-
Tools of the Past
Kira Woodville
To find the culprit's hideout, we need clues. So, let's examine what the pigeons have brought in the past week. We are interested in a screwdriver with an unusual coating. Let's take a look!
Can you see traces of erosion caused by fog on this driver? It must have been left in the fog for a long time! It is an old shaped tool, like the ones used by the lighted husbands in Carlos' youth.
-
Hidden Treasures
Mr. Black
Assuming the culprit believed he was being watched by me, the pigeons would return here. We can locate the culprit by examining the stolen artifacts. What about this rare artifact?
Mm. This artifact is a rare artifact from the time of the defenders. I have only seen such an object once before, and that was in a sketch in the archives. The dove must have found this in the fog. There are a lot of unusual things in the fog.
-
Useful Accessories
Mr. Black
Does it indicate where these objects came from? To me, these look particularly odd. Oh well...try to find the alarm whistle.
You found an alarm whistle. These whistles are used by collectors to keep them from getting lost in the fog. How did I know about it? I saw that Vila had one. She used to use the pigeons a lot.
-
Light in the Mist
Mr. Black
By examining the objects brought back by the pigeons, we can determine where they have visited recently. What I'm interested in is this thing with the crystal on it. What do you think this is?
Yes, it is. This crystal is part of an anti-fog lamp. If the pigeons stole this from the killer, then the killer must be in the fog. Maybe he lives in the fog. Is the killer a forager?
-
sacred plant
Kira Woodville
The first thing that caught my eye among the items the pigeons brought back was a strange plant. It may be something that grows in the area where the culprit lives. Do you have any idea where this plant grows?
Thanks to your examination of the young shoots brought back by Leon's dove, I now know that my suspicion that this is what was in the mist is correct. Did the dove fly into the fog and then return? Or did the dove steal this from the culprit?
-
like wind
Leon
The missing pigeon, "Lady," would have returned here if only she had not been caught. She is the fastest flying carrier pigeon in town. Have you heard of Lady? Take a look at her trophies!
The "Lady" received this fastest bird trophy from the mayor himself! Even if it's a letter you want to send urgently, you can count on Lady to take care of it. Anyway, "Lady" is eager to get back here as soon as possible.
-
LITTLE HEROES
Leon
I can only assume that my pigeons were caught by the culprit who sent the fog bomb. Above all, pigeons have a homing instinct. Some pigeons show amazing bravery to return home. See that medal?
This medal was awarded to "Emerald". I am very proud of our dovecote! In the early days of the Sheriff's Department, they used to send secret letters by carrier pigeon. Did you know that?
-
Calling from a distant home
Leon
Believe me, my pigeons are in danger! My pigeons are in danger! As long as they are not captured by unidentified villains, they will come back. Look, look at this "marshmallow" certificate!
Marshmallow" was awarded this certificate after flying the longest distance as a carrier pigeon. Moreover, even though Marshmallow flew through thunderclouds, it did not get lost, nor did it lose any letters!
-
hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility
Leon
There is no doubt that the missing pigeons were stolen. I trained them myself to come home. There is no way they could have gotten lost. Take, for example, this award-winning obi by "Peggy"!
This sash belongs to one of the missing birds, "Peggy". It was given to her by a citizen as a thank you for delivering so many letters that it became a record. Peggy made 10,000 deliveries and never got lost!
-
honor student
Leon
My pigeons have never strayed or failed to return. Let me explain why. Somewhere in here is a special mark I made for my favorite pigeon. Can you find it?
This award band belongs to the best pigeon I have trained, "Apple". I gave it to him as a proof that he never strayed. I have since been unable to wear it...
-
bird's nest
Mr. Black
So this is the aviary. I still don't understand why they still use carrier pigeons. We're going in with caution. There could be a real bomb in here. Be careful!
It smells awful, like musty paper. And the feathers! Look, there are pigeons roaming free. Not a single cage. Shush! All I want to know is where the bomb is. Where is it?
-
Burning Passion
Eli Montague
The music and acting were great! The love story between the prince and the shepherdess was also wonderful...I was especially captivated by the moment when the throne caught fire. Has that fire been put out yet?
The throne is still burning, but it doesn't seem dangerous. When the prince gave up the throne to marry the shepherdess, the throne caught fire, but it looked like a real flame and for a moment I was horrified.
-
The Glitter of Wealth
Emma Luxmore
The most beautiful moment in this play was when the lovely prince gave his treasure to the devil in order to free the shepherd of the woman he loved. Can you bring the treasure back to me so I can return it to the vault?
Yes, this treasure is real. We decided to use the real one because the fake one looked shoddy when we lit it up with a footlight. Besides, it was a very impressive scene when the prince saved the shepherd from the devil using the Laxmore family heirloom.
-
The Shadow of Talent
Mr. Black
I'm not really interested in the play itself, but I was invited by Luxmore to attend. It was a pretty good play. It was especially powerful when the devil promised to give the shepherdess the power to rule the world and offered her a crown. Was there a ruby embedded in the crown?
The moment the devil offered the shepherdess his crown in exchange for her soul, I thought the crown was tinted the color of blood. Well, I guess it was just an optical illusion.
-
illegal or black-market transaction
Robert Luxmore
The play has finally come to a close! Maybe the play will reveal some clues that will help us in our investigation? Now, Sophia, dressed as a shepherd, is leading a flock of white lambs in a song... Hey! Did you see that? The lambs are changing color!
Yes, the lambs on the stage have changed color from white to black. They were white when we received them...but something strange is happening around the female shepherd. Keep an eye on her.
-
Thank you to our supporters
Ursula Hartley
I am against lending museum exhibits for musical theater, but when it comes to a request from the Laxmores, who have been long-time supporters of the museum, it's a different story...help me find the shepherd's staff.
This is a shepherd's staff that was once actually used in the city. Please give it to Mr. Hayes...but handle it carefully.
-
A deepening mystery
Detective
You have a tin box buried by the tent. Open it quickly. Is there nothing but grain in there? I thought for sure there was tape in there.
-
Tree Watch
Hana Chong
I've got one theory... maybe Yumi hired a private detective to watch her husband from an inconspicuous location. Let's look for hidden cameras.
There's a camera in an old tree cavity. It looks like Yumi or someone was secretly filming something. But why is the camera pointed inside the tree?
-
Unobtrusive location
Hana Chong
Let's check out Yumi's house and identify the location indicated by the markings on the map. Could there be a rare item buried there, or is it a secret rendezvous? Let's find out together.
You say you found a tent that blends in with the garden environment? Surely... it's designed in such a way that it would be inconspicuous if placed in a garden. Who on earth would put it there and for what purpose?
-
Yumi's Secret
Hana Chong
Next, let's take a closer look at the gazebo in the garden where Yumi used to rest. That's where I saw a small piece of the map. Help me find the rest of the pieces.
You found the map! This is the house where Yumi lived with her husband. Next to it is a rock inscribed with "The maid will show you in." is engraved on a rock. Hmmm...looks like Yumi was hiding something from her husband.
-
Music in the Garden
Detective
She also told me about the day she and Yumi were separated. She said she was taking a walk in the garden during her lunch hour. And from that garden, she said, she heard strange laughter every night. Let's check out the garden.
I found a gramophone in your yard... but I don't see the label on the record. I would like to know about the record on the phonograph, but all I can hear is a high-pitched sound, like birds chirping. This record seems to be broken.
-
Creepy escape routes
Detective
To catch the jewel thief, you have to go down into the tunnel. Light the fire. We don't know where this passage leads. Let's hope it doesn't lead to a den of scoundrels.
I checked the tunnel and found a burnt glove. The thief must have burned them to destroy evidence. But why was he in such a hurry?
-
underground passageway
Hana Chong
I see no evidence of forced entry. All display cases are intact. Then, the storage room is the only clue. Let's carefully examine the storage room for hidden doors or soft walls.
Amazing! How did you realize that there was a secret passageway under the floor? So the tiles under the mop and bucket were fake... and the secret passageway was hidden under those tiles.
-
Valuable clues
Detective
Let's return to the reconstruction of the crime. According to witnesses, the robbers dropped something as they fled. But I don't see anything here. Help me look for evidence.
The torn bracelet was found by the shed door, right? If so... the thief must have entered the store through that shed and made off with the stolen goods. But by what means?
-
False Observers
Hana Chong
There was a security camera in the store where the damage was done. I was not aware of any security cameras being used in town, nor did any witnesses mention it. I played back the footage to see if it showed the thief.
Upon examination of the security camera, it was found to be a fake. It seems that the cameras were installed not for security purposes, but to intimidate visitors by giving them the illusion that they were being monitored by the cameras.
-
Responsible Roles
Ollie Articus
Oh, hello! I am collecting wildflowers at Sophia's request. She says she needs wildflowers for inspiration for the stage. But I was so busy picking daisies that I lost my flower basket. Have you seen it?
Thank you for finding the basket with the flowers in it! Smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the meadow is invigorating, isn't it? I am happy if the flowers help Sophia in her attempt to play the role of a shepherd.
-
Prima Donna Dresses
Fabien Delamode
I understand that Luxmore is reprinting an old music play. I am looking forward to it! I have taken on the costume design. The costumes for the main characters are already done. Would you like to take a look?
This costume has wings and is designed to give a fragile impression. We got the idea from fairies. I have heard that the play has mystical elements, so I reflected that in the costume design. I am looking forward to the first performance!
-
Entering a shed
Detective
They returned to the crime scene for an investigative experiment. According to witnesses, the thief entered through a door with a melted lock. Let's look for a door that fits the testimony.
You found a door with a melted lock. This door leads to a storage shed... but all you find here is an old mop and bucket. Why would the murderer break into the shed if there is not a single item of gold?
-
Second Chance
Rayden Storke
Since the paints were found in my grandfather's safe deposit box, the Luxmore siblings will think he is an artist from the Luxmore family for example. I don't disagree with that, but let's look for anything that might be related to my grandmother.
Thank you for finding the box! It is very light, so I assume the contents are paper? The box is closed but not locked, just an apple-shaped indentation on the lid. But I did somehow figure out how to open it.
-
Stained ornaments
Detective
The black sparrow still holds a grudge over the Dokuraku incident and may try to harm Juliette and take revenge on me. So I need a sure defense. Look at this bracelet. See the trick?
You know exactly what I'm talking about! The bracelet has a lot of pepper in it that will make your nose twitch. Put it on, wave it in the thief's face, and he will sneeze and leave the scene.
-
Mystery Cuisine
Ali Vazir
As you were conducting your research, Mr. Stokes, you focused on cooking with eggplant. It was very discerning of him to come to me, a professional cook, for advice! I made more than a dozen dishes using eggplant. Can you identify one dish from these that your grandfather particularly liked?
It's a great answer! Mr. Stokes said that Ajapusandari is his favorite eggplant dish. If this is indeed your grandfather's favorite dish, this could be useful information for your research.
-
password divination
Rayden Storke
Huh, that's tricky! I can't believe that a clue to the Stokes family's past is right in front of me, but I can't open the box to find out what it is unless I know the password. No matter what I try, it fails, and unless a miracle happens, it's impossible. How about enlisting the help of a fairy?
I knew the mechanical fairy prophecy was very abstract, but why eggplant! But come to think of it...I have heard from my grandmother that Grandpa Ted loved eggplant among all vegetables. Maybe the watchword has something to do with eggplant.
-
very like the real thing
Detective
Dogs make excellent bodyguards! But Juliette is too busy to take care of a pet. So I prepared this bag. Take a look!
There is no dog in that bag, but the growling and barking coming from it is very realistic. Hopefully this will scare off anyone who tries to attack Juliette.
-
Hairpins for tracking
Detective
Juliette often takes off her ring when she's doing chores, and it would be a disaster if a sparrow kidnapped her while she was doing it. I've prepared some tools for just such an occasion. Take a look.
It's a special hairpin. There is a transmitter embedded inside the beautiful ornament. If Juliette is kidnapped by sparrows, we can receive and trace the signal emitted from here. Then we would be able to find her in no time.
-
legal heir
Rayden Storke
Why did it not occur to me to go to the bank? The bank had an Edward Stokes safe deposit box with valuables in it. But in order to open the safe deposit box, I would have to inherit it. How can I do that?
I did it! The Five Wise Guardians of the Mechanism, who always make fair decisions, have recognized me, Edward Stokes, as the official heir. I can now open his safe deposit box! That is, if I can find the password...
-
silent witness
Sophia
Indeed, music theater would be a wonderful subject to tickle the artistic senses. I would write a vaudeville or operetta on the subject of the Amethyst Nightingale... Hey, maybe the advertising columns in town would help? Let's look for it.
How did you find it? The ads are thickly layered, but if you flip through them, you should find an ad for the Amethyst Nightingale Music Theatre. If you're lucky, you might even find the catalog of performances.
-
Craftsman's handiwork
Sophia
Emma told me about you. She said you are looking for the Amethyst Nightingale Theater. I've never seen the theater, but I've seen stage sets with the theater's emblem on them. It looks like Avocado got it from somewhere. I'll show you where I found it.
This stage set is old, but so beautiful. See the amethyst nightingale among the carefully painted leaves? Did you quickly find the painter's signature? Yes, this is the work of "E. Luxmore!
-
Special Keys
Detective
I've taught Juliette how to pry locks, but she says the keys are too tough and she doesn't want to wear them. Would you be willing to work with me to find a special key that she might like?
You have found a key that Juliette will like. If she is about to be kidnapped by sparrows, this key will allow her to pry open any door and escape. I hope she carries this key with her.

clear melody
Rayden Storke
I have never heard of a music theater called Amethyst Nightingale, but with amethyst in the name, the theater could be near where the crystals are mined or processed. Let's look for clues.
Wow, you found the keys to the Amethyst piano! It looks very old, so it must be a special order from the Amethyst Nightingale Theatre. But where is the theater?

Warning rings
Detective
I would like to give Juliette a ring with a special structure built into it. There is a hidden button hidden amongst the beautiful patterns that will send a signal to me if I press it when I am in danger. Will you look for it with me?
Thanks for the help. The button on the ring is inconspicuous, so if you don't even know it's there, you won't notice it first. When I press the button, a signal is instantly sent to my watch.

Invisible Tracker
Hana Chong
Your suspicions are well founded. Given the black sparrow's ability, no security or safe can stop it from stealing. We have hidden an electronic bug in the safe in case the prey steals the soles. See!
These tiny insects are the size of the tip of a needle and nearly impossible to see. When a criminal steals a solitary insect, the detectives and I track him down and then arrest him.

independent evaluation
Detective
Buddy, I know you have your suspicions about the operation. But I've got the dokura hidden in a safe, and I've got eyes on it at all times. Just take a look at the safe with your keen eyes.
You must be amazed. The intricate lock, its weight, and the wonderful golden pattern that can only be seen by those who understand and can open the secret combination.

waiting list for invited guests
Hana Chong
The fake auction must be flawlessly conducted. Rumor has it that a few Upper City residents will be there as well. We will need a lot of numbered tags. Can you help us collect them?
Thank you for helping us collect the number tags. This is the last one, right? Invited guests will start arriving shortly.

Key Findings
Rayden Storke
I understand that there are no files on the Luxmore family in the Sheriff's Department records vault, but why are there only a few files on the Stokes family? I would like to somehow find my grandfather Ted Stokes' file, can you help me? Maybe I am not looking in the right way.
I'm glad you found it! The file says "Edward Stokes"...I thought Ted was a nickname for Theodore, but it could well be Edward. This could be a reference to the Luxmore family.

honorable mention
Rayden Storke
Is there any material on the Luxmore family in my grandmother's files? I'll check...I don't see a file with any material on Clarissa Stokes. I'll look again in the filing cabinet...oh? Something small fell out. Could you look for it and pick it up?
This defense award is inscribed "Mrs. S". There was no file for Grandmother Clarissa in the box, only this one. I could see that she had defeated the bad guys, but beyond that, I am not sure.

missing
Rayden Storke
The records storage is damaged from the fog, so I'm going to have to do a lot of work. Somewhere in here there should be my parents' files. The Sheriff's Department is probably investigating my parents' disappearance...so let's look in the filing cabinet.
I went through the papers with the last name "S" in the paperwork container and found documents about my parents... it says "missing since the house fire". But I know this from an old album from my grandmother's house. Is there any other documentation?

Clever fishing bait
Adeline Svensson
Dokuraku is a powerful artifact that attracts the interest of many residents. To fish out the culprits, we'll hold an auction and "sell" the dokuraku. Have you received an invitation yet?
I've sent that same invitation to all the residents. Now we just have to wait for the black sparrows to bite the bait and show up to steal the dokuraku.
-
Phase I
Detective
Hannah and I made a plan to catch black sparrows. Whoa, Adeline sent me the latest newspaper. I'll explain the plan, and you can read the paper.
What you had the newspapers report is a lie. We haven't repaired the monocle, but the black sparrow would love to have it back. To escape justice. It's all part of the plan to lure the killer.

Message from the Creator
Isabelle
I could examine the pattern on the dokugaku. It looks like the pattern on a compass, and I've seen it before. While I clean up the experiment, look for a scroll with a similar symbol on it.
You found a scroll with a seal in the shape of a compass. The same pattern can be seen on the dokuraku. I think I know who created this artifact. Let's read what it says.

test procedure
Isabelle
Dokugaku is not dangerous. But it does interfere with space in unusual ways. We need to do some tests to find out how. Find the relay in the test box.
With the relay in that test box, we can flow various energies into the Dokugaku to see what happens in the surrounding space.
-
Mass of another dimension
Martha
Perhaps Dokugaku contains chaos, and that's dangerous for us. Find the balance of order. We'll know if it's safe to synchronize it with our dimension.
You have found the balance of order. On one plate you put the weights corresponding to our dimensions. And on the other plate, I will put a dokuraku. I hope they balance well.
-
window into reality
Martha
Now that we've removed the unwanted energy from the dokuraku, we can now examine the purpose of the dokuraku. To do that, we need to place the object on a crystal pedestal. Can you bring it to me?
The crystals on the pedestal are having a strange reaction with the dokura. Some disappear, others increase threefold. The space around the monopod has been distorted, revealing a window into another reality.
-
Secrets of Purification
Martha
The detective brought an interesting artifact. There is no doubt that the Dokuraku contains magical power, but it needs to be purified first before it can be examined. Bring me the purification box.
Thank you! This box absorbs all the energy covering the artifact, leaving only the energy of the object itself. Let's put Dokugaku inside and observe what happens.

Witch Fragrance
Mistress
I'm here on business! You seem to think that detectives have sharp noses, but then you should ask your own nose where I've been. Maybe the smell of your perfume will give you a clue.
That's quintessential! Didn't the perfume smell lead straight to the home of the shaman I was visiting? She's an old friend and I wanted to get to know her house. Lies? Why would I lie?
-
Old Facts
Detective
I should have talked to the collector first! I know it's been a while since I lost my footing. Maybe they're waiting for me to let my guard down. Let's go through the old files.
There are some similarities between the collector and the sparrow case. They both can go back and forth between the city and the real world. But they are two different people. The collector kidnapped the victim, while the sparrow seems to be interested in knick-knacks.

Invisible Bird
Roger Doubledeal
Alibi? I'm here to hunt. I'm going to catch the strangest two-headed bird in the world to put on display at the zoo. What, there's no such thing? Fine, I'll show you.
Have you found the two-headed bird? I couldn't catch it, and I shouldn't. It's a beautiful bird, but it's terrible to peck. They are beautiful birds, but they are terrible when pecked. I guess you have to get them to miss you first.

literary work
Conductor
What are you talking about? I don't know any sparrows. Alibi? I'm here for a literary event. I'm going to read poems and illustrated stories in a house. I also have a novel of my own. Come on, let's go find out.
Have you found my novel? It's not finished, but I've already finished the synopsis. You look incredulous. Ask Valerie. She helped me write it and sat next to me at the event.

Unusual beverages
Cardsharp
You've got the wrong guy! I'm not the thief! The ghost bartender and I came here to get some ginger pear juice, but we couldn't find it because of all the commotion. Would you look for it with us?
That pear ginger juice is exactly what I'm here for. The bartender and I want to order a dozen juices from the merchants here to deliver to the Red Rose Cafe.

The Master of Persuasion
Hana Chong
The department believes that the culprit is a master of the art of persuasion using the nunchuck. The thieves often leave rings at the victim's house for the purpose of persuasion. Let's look for it.
Nunch's ring was in your pocket? And you don't even remember who gave it to you or who you talked to? That's the killer's art of persuasion.
-
Spirit Speaker
Hana Chong
The perpetrator was called a spirit storyteller by the department's police officers because he appeared as if he were being empowered by a spirit. Another trademark of the thief was his red shaman's hat. Was it in the vicinity?
I knew it! The fact that this hat was placed in the square indicates only one thing. The culprit is planning a big theft. And that theft will take place here.
