New Clues
Detective
In the stash was a letter in a very thick paper envelope. Hey, find me a letter opener to open this envelope. According to the theory, the contents of the letter will allow us to follow the trail of the missing detective.
Thanks for helping me out! I needed the sharpest letter opener to open this envelope. But all I find inside are blank pages! Hmmm .... This is a new clue that leads to a detective who is obviously gone.

Flower Secrets
Juliette
So the inhabitants of the secret room had a lot of flowers on display. Amazingly, the flowers are still in excellent condition. I wonder what his secret was. What secret ingredient, besides fertilizer, did he feed his plants? Let's see what is under the soil of the flowerpot.
As I said! A stash of flower pots. The secret is the best flower fertilizer in the City of Shadows. That's why the roses around the mansion are always so fresh.
-
A Test of Courage
Adeline Svensson
As the play reaches its climax, General Konoe passes through a wall of flame to show the gods his own bravery. Go find the silken flame! I'll secretly set it up on the stage.
This silk flame looks so real, even when folded! If you hide it behind a scene backdrop and attach it to a blower, you can show the audience a wall of flames anytime you want.
-
hated enemy
Adeline Svensson
Daisuke is back on stage. General Konoe, whom he plays, must now defeat the shadow of an ogre. The demons can be moved by a special device, so he starts on my signal!
Lovely. The shadows of the demons are moving like the real thing! I must write a long article on this play. Kasumi's stage skills never cease to amaze me.
-
sweet but bittersweet dream
Adeline Svensson
Princess Butterfly, played by Fascination, will soon appear on stage. It's the scene where she wanders through a fantastic dream. In that scene, we have to make the bell moth fly. Please lend me your strength!
The audience is gasping at the bell moth you flew! Princess Butterfly was able to control her dreams, and even though she felt betrayed by the general, she created his image in her dreams.
-
man-made wave
Adeline Svensson
The two leads are overwhelming. The audience watches with bated breath. In the next scene, a raging torrent blocks the general's path. Can you find the river of color?
Thanks to the stage tricks, this colorful river looks as lively as if it were real! Across this river, General Konoe, played by Daisuke, takes another step closer to the rescue of Princess Butterfly.
-
Lightning Song
Adeline Svensson
While Mr. Charmei and Daisuke are doing the play, we will help with the special effects! The shakuhachi will appear in the scene where General Konoe hears the sound of the devil bird flapping its wings. Let's find it quickly!
You found the shakuhachi! The strange, thunderous sound of the shakuhachi accentuates the importance of the demon bird's appearance in the scene. This scene is the moment when General Konoe realizes the emperor's betrayal.
-
Messenger of Truth
Daisuke Ando
I was looking for a path leading to the stage and came across a fork in the road with many doors. On the floor it says, "The way is open to those who believe in others. I see! Find the lying bird amulet by the door ze!
You have found the lying bird! Go through the door with the mark of this bird painted on it. This bird has the opposite effect of a curse. Fascination and I have been hurt by things that are not said. I will not let that happen again.
-
heavily polluted, radioactive rain sometimes following an atmospheric nuclear explosion (esp. that of Hiroshima)
Daisuke Ando
Attention! Ink is dripping from the ceiling in the darkened area ahead. Fascination and I are already in our stage costumes, so we can't get them dirty. Look for the flower umbrellas!
You have conveniently found a flower umbrella! This was made for outdoor performances on rainy days. Use this umbrella to protect the costumes of the general and the princess!
-
cure-all
Mirai Furukawa
The further in we go, the more terrifying it gets, but the audience is waiting for us! In front of you, you see a door with many handprints blocking the way. This is a bad omen! Is there a heaping bowl of salt anywhere?
We were lucky to find the heaping salt. Place heaped salt near the door. Salt protects us from evil spirits. No matter what kind of interference we get, we will always make the play a success.
-
lurk in the dark
Daisuke Ando
The audience can be heard from a distance, even inside the loophole. But the path is blocked by a web crawling with spiders, and a spider puppet is hanging in the middle. Can you shine a light on it so I can catch it?
I wouldn't have gotten the spider puppet without you. Actually, I am really bad at spiders...I am sure the thief wanted me to overcome my fear. I'm going up to the stage with this puppet.
-
darkness dispelled
Mirai Furukawa
Will you find the right loophole and make it to the stage? Let's hope the luck of the performers will protect us. It is pitch black inside the loophole. Do you have something that can start a fire, a flint sickle?
Thank you for the flaming sickle. Since I was a little girl I have always had a fear of the dark and I guess the thief knew it. Thanks to you, I was able to light the lanterns. Let's hurry to the stage!
-
In the eyes of the heavens
Mirai Furukawa
In the final phase, the gods test the resolve of the General Konoe. As a reward, the gods strike the star drum, the sound of which awakens the Princess Butterfly. Please lend us some artifacts so we can tune the drum.
Thanks to the artifact, the drum now makes a muffled sound like the sound of a distant waterfall. This sound awakens the princess, and in the finale she is reunited with her general.
-
ray of hope
Daisuke Ando
Please, I hope that the new "Garden of Dreams" will resonate with the audience. General Konoe encounters numerous dangers along the way, but he has a guiding spirit with him. Will you light a lantern in the shape of the guiding spirit?
The lantern of the guiding spirit is lit with a bewitching light. In the new story, the light of this lantern illuminates the path leading to the earth bordering the heavenly realm and guides General Konoe. And there the general will face the trials of the gods.
-
faithful guardians
Mirai Furukawa
The princess can be saved by rewriting the story of the Garden of Dreams. The general of the Konoe hides the princess in his palace in the mountains after she falls asleep, and entrusts the protection of the princess to the dog spirit, Nugami. Find the costume of the Dog Goddess.
I had never seen such a beautiful gujin costume in a stage hut! This spirit dog will protect the Princess while the Shogun searches for a way to awaken her.
-
bad news
Adeline Svensson
It's so interesting to watch Fascination and Daisuke rewrite the story! I have a suggestion for you too. I'm getting a letter to General Konoe with an arrowhead. Would you help me make it?
Thanks to you, I have an arrow letter that looks just like the real thing! This letter is sent by a friend of mine who is a general of the Kingsguard, and he uses it to let me know that the emperor is planning to wage war on the Princess Butterfly's country.
-
Wings of Difficulty
Daisuke Ando
The script for this play describes an argument between General Konoe and Princess Butterfly. Before the change, it was due to a plot by the subject to discredit the Princess's name, but this needs to be changed. Can you find the feathers of the devil bird?
That is the feather of the devil bird! It was made for an old script, but let's say the general finds the feather and realizes that the fight with the princess was a setup.
-
Secret Curse
Mirai Furukawa
To perform "The Garden of Dreams" with a different ending, you will need to change parts of the script. Princess Butterfly and General Konoe meet in the garden and you must find the black snowdrops.
I'm glad you found the black waiting snowdrops. Let the Black Emperor be the new villain. He will visit the garden in search of the Kingsguard General and find the gloomy flower blooming in the snow.
-
Frozen Dawn
Mirai Furukawa
The day I had a fight with Daisuke, fate tried to tear us apart. Yet I wanted to make up with him and give him a fan of morning glow. Can you please find the fan on my desk?
That is the fan of morning glow. This is Daisuke-kun's favorite color... So, when I tried to give Daisuke-kun the fan, I saw another girl confessing her love to him.
-
Princess Palace
Daisuke Ando
Me and Charmei had a fight during rehearsal. On our way back to cool off, I tripped over a lantern, which fell onto the fabric of the stage backdrop and caught fire. Please find the burnt background.
Because of me, a painting of a landscape that Fascination-chan had drawn was burned. She had dreamed of painting the palace of the heroine of the play, Princess Butterfly. She didn't think I intentionally burned it...
-
former Samurai
Daisuke Ando
Maybe the reason we fought was because Fascination didn't believe in me. I tried my best to be a man worthy of her. Fascination-chan had a book on her desk that spelled out stories of heroes. Please find it!
Look at the samurai on the cover of the book. I tried to be like General Konoe, whom Charmei liked. But I was clumsy and often offended her for that.
-
(face) powder
Mirai Furukawa
On the day I had a fight with Daisuke, we were both struck by bad luck. In the morning, when I was putting on my makeup, I suddenly realized. I am not beautiful. Find an old makeup brush by the mirror.
When I was applying makeup with this brush, I saw in the mirror a plain girl who looked very unlike Daisuke, the stage nobleman. I was so upset that I threw the brush on the floor and it cracked.
-
Weapons on Stage
Daisuke Ando
The day I had the fight with Fascination, everything went wrong from the morning. First of all, I broke my sword, the most beautiful prop in the rehearsal. Look what happened!
Unfortunately, this broken sword can no longer be repaired. It was supposed to be the last appearance of the character I was playing. The other performers teased me about my screw-up, and I got very angry.
-
secret key
Mirai Furukawa
Before it was stolen, I kept the Tears of the Moon in my dressing room. It was not that I did not trust the other performers, but I always locked the door. The day I was robbed, this screwdriver was stuck in the door. Take a look.
Did you notice the distinctive handle of the screwdriver? This is used when making karakuri out of wood. Daisuke often helps make props for the background, and this screwdriver is also his.
-
The Beauty of the Samurai
Mirai Furukawa
I am very sad to think that Daisuke stole the moon's tears to keep me around. No, you still haven't told me about the evidence on the floor. The ceremonial ornament he wore is caught on the floorboard over there. Can you please find it?
This ornament is part of the helmet that Daisuke-kun wears. I understand that you two are suspicious. I am not certain if the ornament is the one that was caught yesterday. But with so many things going on...
-
Mystery of the leaves
Mirai Furukawa
Daisuke and I have been through a lot together. It is hard to believe that he would do something like this, but all the evidence points to him as the culprit. The box of ginkgo nuts on his desk should tell you as well.
Do you see the small hidden door in the ginkgo box? That's where the Moon Tears were kept, and Daisuke was the only one who knew how to solve the puzzle to open the lock.
-
Crimson Explosion
Mirai Furukawa
When I noticed that a gift given to me by the proprietress of the Noh Mask, the woman who raised me, was missing, I pretended to look for a clue. Examine this pillar. You will find clear evidence of a thief!
The enamel engraving you found is evidence of Daisuke's crime! We also saw that his armor was recently painted the same color and scratched. Why do you think Daisuke came here?
-
The Dragon's Face
Mirai Furukawa
I had placed my precious moon tears in my dressing room in the center of the stage hut. When I realized that the jewelry was missing, I rushed to look for it and found this. Look at these sparkling scales!
Strange shaped scales, right? These represent the skin of a dragon. These scales show the audience the mysterious side of Konoe. When Daisuke plays Konoe, he wears them as a decoration on his face!
-
twilight excitement
Adeline Svensson
Fans are all abuzz with the news of FURUKAWA Fascinating Lightning's retirement. The crowd is gathering offstage, so let's use our reporter's privilege here. Everyone, please go through the press!
Okay, I managed to get into the building! The magic of the stage surrounds this perimeter, a painted landscape without motion. The view of the mountains and the mysterious palace plays an important role in the production of the "Garden of Dreams!
-
Dutch Bread
Valerie
Pastor is a Dutch bread eaten during the Easter season and is said to feature dried fruits kneaded into it. I'd like to serve this at the fair too. Let's make it together!
You are a good baker too! Look how fluffy it is! I can taste the different flavors of the dried fruits kneaded into it. We'll serve it with ice cream at the fair. I'm sure it will be delicious!
-
Austrian Cuisine
Valerie
When the detective was in the real world, his former partner from Austria once treated him to a dish called Reindling, which is eaten at Easter time. He said it was very delicious. Would you like me to make it for you?
Thanks for helping! The rindling dough is rolled out thin, buttered, filled with filling and baked. Then you have a delicious pastry with a delicate flavor.
-
Spanish Cakes
Valerie
Mona de Pasqua" is a Spanish dish, but when I first heard the name, I thought it was the name of a traditional Spanish dance! But it's actually an Easter cake with a boiled egg inside! Let's make it together.
Thanks for helping me make Mona de Pasqua! It's an attractive name, and it looks so appetizing. Tastes great too! I don't need to bring it all to the fair!
-
Finnish treats
Valerie
Martha once treated me to a traditional Finnish Easter dessert. I think it was called Mammi. She said she learned the recipe from the spirits. Let's make it too.
Thanks! I'm surprised it was a genie who taught Martha the recipe for manmi. It's a black dish! But it came out delicious and will sell out quickly at the fair.
-
Mexican Sweets
Valerie
In Mexico, they make an Easter candy with stale, hardened bread and hard cheese. It's called capirotada. I wonder what it tastes like? Let's make it together.
Thanks for helping me make the capirotada! I've never really seen a pastry that looks like this... you made the right choice in choosing my favorite parmesan cheese for the cheese!
-
white moon
Lady
Use white color also for pisanka to dispel people's pessimistic thoughts and purify their souls. Bring moon chalk taken from the spring moon.
Thanks for bringing the moon chalk! Now I can draw a white moon on my pisanka, a symbol of belief, purity, and clear thinking. By the way, the chalk shines beautifully!
-
Symbol of Love
Lady
The red of the pysanka represents goodness, love, sacrifice, and life-giving fire. It is best to use fiery colored gouache paints for this. Bring some.
Thank you for bringing the fiery colored gouache paints! With it, Pisanka will attract goodness and people's passion will never fade away. How about painting a fiery flower, a symbol of true love?
-
Lush greenery
Lady
Pisanka also needs the color green. Green brings peace of mind and symbolizes the abundance of nature, hope, and harmony. Make a green herbal ink.
You've created a beautiful herbal ink, perfect for pysanka. Use it to draw green shoots that represent hope and our connection to nature.
-
Waves of Life
Lady
The next color we will prepare is blue, symbolizing purity and health. The best blue watercolor dyes come from spring streams. Bring the blue watercolors.
Thanks for bringing the watercolors from the creek. Now I can add some healing powers to my pisanka. They say if you paint a wave pattern on your pisanka, you can even avert bad luck.
-
The Yellow Sun
Lady
For the yellow of Pisanka, let us use a yellow crayon as bright as the sun. May it bring us great joy and blow away the forces of evil. Bring it to me.
Thanks for bringing the very bright yellow crayon! Let's draw the sun on Pisanka with it. The sun, the most ancient symbol of light and life, will protect us from sickness.
-
Sprout of Hope
Spirit of Spring
I grew exotic flowers, praying that fairies would be born. But no miracle happened, even though the flowers looked like fairies. If you look around, you will find the flower.
This flower had great magic and hope in it and the petals were in the shape of my lovely fairies. I am always filled with sadness when I see these flowers. The only solace I had was the fact that these flowers adorned the earth.
-
irreparable loss
Spirit of Spring
I wanted to nurture and revive the flowers from which the fairies were born. But, oh no! The magical flower buds had disappeared. I was devastated. This necklace is the proof.
This is a necklace made of my tears, permanently frozen by the magic of cold air. I won the battle for life, but the cost was too great. The flower fairy died, and I could not bring her back to life.
-
struggle for life
Spirit of Spring
One day, a black magician, blinded by power, decided to steal energy from all life for himself. The fairies defended the flowers, but they could not resist... After the battle, all that remained was the broken staff used by the fairies.
My heart was broken, as was the magic wand of my little assistants, but budding nature gave me the strength to defeat the necromancer. Besides, I still had hope that I could put things back on the right track.
-
Wonderful assistant.
Spirit of Spring
Normally, collisions between elements are destructive. But one day life sprang to life. The flower buds I created withstood the cold and became radiant. I will show you now what it was like.
Magical beings emerged from the flower buds and became my faithful assistants. They grew beautiful flowers and brought beauty to the world. I read about them as flower fairies.
-
Cold air of the past
Spirit of Spring
The miracle you performed, it gave me the power to fight the primordial cold air. It is a very ancient cold air, but the magic of ice is so powerful that you should be able to find its manifestation if you look for it carefully.
You have proved my words. This piece of permanent ice is the frozen "first flower". The battle against the cold air of the primordial was long and difficult. I did everything I could to give life a chance.
-
Maximum filling
Martha
To open the door to spring, we need to fill the Amulet of Joy with "true joy". Ask everyone to sing, dance, laugh--collect as much positive emotion as possible.
The filling of the amulet of joy is complete! Thanks to those wonderful babies. Seeing their giggles warms my heart and makes the dry branches bloom. The cold air crystals have been deactivated!
-
Special antidotes
Martha
The crystal that curses the door is imbued with the magic of cold air. It's not easy, but it's possible to resist. We'll stop with the rituals and use the amulet of rapture. Find it with me.
An amulet of joy! That's exactly what we were looking for! It has the rare property of being able to nullify the effects of black magic when filled to the brim. But there are a lot of complications.
-
troublemaker
Martha
Tiger Beetle did nothing but gossip about the beetle world as he ran, but he did his duty. Through his eyes, we could see that there was a mass of darkness that shouldn't be in the door. Let's find out more about it.
This is a cold crystal with magical powers. It absorbs the energy of the spring door and turns it into hard stone. You can't get rid of the crystal without destroying the door, leaving it turned to stone.
-
express delivery person
Martha
I kept feeling the black magic emanating from the spring door, even while I was communing with the heavens. This gruesome feeling! Stay away from the door, it's dangerous. Look for Tiger Beetle. It will help us with our investigation.
A small, quick Tiger Beetle, this is what I needed. I magically communicated with this baby so that I could find out the source of the door and the petrification spell on it.
-
the work of trolls
Conductor
The spring door was not just set in stone, it was wrapped in barbed wire. Definitely the work of a troll. Let's find out how sturdy it is. Don't get hurt.
Only a troll would put a needle on a wire. You've left a nasty trail. But I have good tools. I cut the wire. How's that petrifying magic working out for you?
-
Sunshine to be grasped
Lady
What are you guys doing? Baby trolls? No way! Our babies are real angels. They love merry songs and fairy tales. Where are the fairy tale books? Help me find them.
I'm not going to scold the baby, even though the book is torn. I'm not going to scold the baby. I didn't do it out of spite. Oh, right, you cut out the sun. I was trying to bring out the sun so it would be warmer outside.
-
red mark
Detective
I don't want to imagine anything too bad, but we found blood. I'll ask Adeline to distract the lady by inviting her to talk, while we rush to see if there are any other red handprints.
Yeah, that's a jam stain. That's why no one was hurt. The handprint suggests that the baby has four fingers, not six like a troll. Do trolls get more fingers as they grow?
-
Fluffy Horse
Valerie
Oh, that's not fair! The Easter Bunny ran past me and didn't bring me anything! Maybe he was running away from the baby? Let's find the bunny and make sure he's okay.
Oh, the rabbit has a little saddle and bridle thing on it. I see, so the babies were riding this baby. Bad boy! But the bunny is not hurt and looks happy.
-
Flying Fancy
Adeline Svensson
Sure, the guide is a pessimist, but it's worth taking a closer look at the baby anyway. According to the lady, babies remember things and don't do bad things. But I wonder if they're just cunning like trolls?
So the baby tried to make wings out of these curtains and ripped them. More than just a prank, it is a product of ingenuity. I don't know if the baby is a troll or not, but I remain skeptical.
-
piece of suspicion
Conductor
I suspect that those flower children are little trolls planted to disturb the two of them from springing up. I hope I'm wrong but did you hear that sound? It seems they have already destroyed something.
Look, the vase is broken! It's obviously the work of a baby. Some of the graffiti looks like it was written by a child. Apparently he has a passion for breaking things. But why would a child troll draw a picture of a flower?
-
Unexpected Discoveries
Lady
Look at the magic flower that grew from an old bulb. The middle part is covered by petals, but if you shine the light of the artifact, you can see inside. Do you have the artifact?
The artifact's got the flowers in full bloom. Look inside. Yes, there were fluffy beds inside, and in each bed slept an adorable baby. That's how we had our twelve babies!
-
the water of life
Doorkeeper
Rosemary was worried because some of the larger bulbs were not sprouting. So I gave them some spring rainwater to give all life a breath of life. Have you seen the pools on the old stumps?
You found rainwater that had accumulated on the stump. I do not know if the nourishing effect of this rainwater is effective for people, but it is for flowers. Eventually, the bulb sprouted. It is a miracle!
-
Amakusa-no-Mikoto
Doorkeeper
There is a time when the babies are sleeping...and yes, their appearance has something to do with the growth of flowers. Let me explain. We planted bulbs we found here and there. Can you help me find a teacup planter?
Here it is, this teacup. Trolls had so many bulbs in their bags that they even had to use these things to grow the bulbs. Most of the bulbs grew into nice primroses right away, but there were some that were different.
-
In the fertile soil
Adeline Svensson
Lady loves flowers, so I did my best to get the old bulbs to sprout. I made a special soil mix for the bulbs. Can you help me find a similar soil so I can take pictures?
This soil is very soft! Some of this soil was collected from the spring gardens and it contains particles of spring magic. They are activated by the warmth of your hands, so the lady spared no pains and carefully mixed the ingredients with her own hands.
-
reserve
Adeline Svensson
In the troll's hand was a cloth sack that had managed not to petrify him. Lady managed to get her hands on that cloth sack, and that was the turning point in the baby's story. Can you find the cloth sack for me so I can take a picture of it?
By the looks of it, this is the cloth bag the troll was carrying that the lady was talking about. I put the bulb in it. According to the lady, that's exactly the bulb that was in there. The bulbs had dried up, but he decided to give them a second chance.
-
guest turned to stone
Adeline Svensson
The exciting story of the twelve babies will appear in the next issue as soon as we have all the necessary materials to explain it. According to the lady's story, it all started with a petrified troll. Let's find the troll.
Thank you. I wouldn't have noticed the petrified trolls mixed in with the dead grass and moss if it weren't for you! Lady said she found them when she was cleaning out the back of the spring garden.
-
Significant Losses
Valerie
Maybe the lady and the gatekeeper were late getting ready for the party and now they are rushing to open the spring doors? Oh, I kicked something. It went flying into the corner. Help me find it.
This is the gatekeeper's key chain! He must have had a key ring on his skin. If it's here... then he can't open the spring door without the key. That's not good!
-
lullaby
Conductor
I listened carefully to see if any monsters were creeping up on me... and I was about to be lulled to sleep! Apparently, someone is singing a song. Can you hear it? It sounds like a lullaby. That's why I wanted to sleep. Let's find out who's singing.
This is a surprise! The gatekeeper's mechanical nightingale is now wearing a hat and humming a lullaby! Why did the gatekeeper change the setting of the nightingale? Did he have insomnia or something?
-
Mystery fiancée
Juliette
What is it about these memories that haunt me? They are memories that never really happened! Joo is slowly bringing back some of my memories. Soon my fiancé's face will be reflected in the divination mirror...he's looking at it right now!
I saw my fiancée's face in Ju's mirror, but it was so blurry I couldn't make out who she was. Still, I haven't given up hope yet, but...oh well!
-
wet (moist) evidence
Conductor
I don't think Cookie would have interfered with the lady and the gatekeeper to open the spring door. My guess is that they were both attacked and taken away. There are signs that someone spilled milk here. There may be other traces left behind.
It is unfortunate that no other traces were found, but one thing is certain. If the lady didn't wipe up the spilled milk, then she has been captured by the forces of evil. Be careful, there may be a disciple of "The Shadow" hanging around nearby.
-
Delicious looking bread crumbs
Valerie
I have to believe she wasn't involved in the case. I mean, maybe Lady was just distracted by baking for the party. Hey, does something smell good? Let's find out where the smell is coming from.
Oh, what a cute little bunny cookie! They look delicious, but maybe a little too small. I wonder if the lady was stingy with the guest treats. Maybe it's a new recipe. Let's find her and ask her.
-
False Engagement
Juliette
My memories are coming back, but they all seem so fake. Why is that? I want to know more! I'm glad Joo promised to help me get my memory back. I saw something and reached for it...hey, look at that!
I don't have that ring. I'm so confused. I'm trying to make out the face of the giver, but I can't see anything...
-
Concerned about the current situation
Detective
What happened to the Lady and the gatekeeper? They both serve the Girl of Spring faithfully and never cut corners on their work. And yet, here we are left with a job unfinished... buddy, what do you think?
Oh, the pruning is still in progress. Lady's gardening tools are also left in a mess. A worrisome sign, considering she is a beaner. But there are no signs of an attack. Was she bewitched?
-
unexpected guest
Valerie
There's nothing to be afraid of! Let's get you into the sunroom. I can't wait to see the lady. I'm sure she's looking for someone to taste the Easter candy. I'll take care of the tasting! Oh, you too?
I told you there is nothing to fear. This sunroom is the opposite of fear. It's bright, it's pretty, and it smells like cupcakes. Hello? Is anyone there? No one... that's weird. I thought the lady and the gatekeeper were getting ready for a party.
-
Flowers in Memory
Ju
Why is it that Juliette's memories are so real, yet she doesn't remember these events? Let's try to recall every detail of her memories as best we can... are you ready? You're about to have a vision. Well! You see that?
They're blue roses. It's a very rare flower, wrapped for presentation... Juliette's favorite kind of rose. Well, it looks like whoever gave them to her knows what she likes! I'd like to find out who gave her these roses.
-
Silk and Sawtooth
Ju
There must be some reason why Juliette is seeing so many strange memories. Let's lay the sacred silk on the divination table and use dried sawgrass stalks for the fortune. Could you find the silk and the sawgrass for me?
Now that you have your tools, let the divination begin. My consciousness will be a little bit away from reality for a little while, but don't worry if you see me... I see, it's not an illusion or false memory that's tormenting Juliette. It seems her soul is bound to someone else's!
-
Divination Time
Ju
Why does Juliette keep seeing those memories? Let's find out by divination... not with the traditional Book of Changes, but with a scroll depicting my folk remedies. I've modified it for divination. May I ask you to find it for me?
Thank you for bringing the divination scrolls! Juliette may be suffering from memory loss. Remembering events that never happened is a sign of mental distress. Let's check it out!
-
Ingenious cards
Valerie
Just a few more days and I'll have all the gifts for the old man in the moonlight. I've confirmed that the device is in working order, I've spun a year's worth of yarn... and I've made him a card. Would you like to see it?
That's right! I embroidered a greeting card for the old man under the moon with the thread he himself uses to bind his soul together. I hope that maybe he will remember me and find me a soul mate.
-
Record of Love
Valerie
I figured that if I made my gift to the old man under the moon something useful and practical, it would be an efficient way to bring him closer to me. So I found a book cover and put it over my record book.
This logbook is as easy to carry as a bag. Very convenient, isn't it? The old man in the moonlight can fill in the names of the lovers who are tied together by a red thread here. Then there will be no confusion, right? I am a genius!
-
Attention to detail
Valerie
Gifts for old men under the moon are better to be practical, so let's pay attention to the details. I also prepared a place to put the red thread I spun. I can't just wrap it around his arm. Oops, I dropped it!
Thanks for picking up the spool of thread. Look...I made it into a crescent moon shape to suit him. See how tightly wound the red silk thread is? Very useful!
-
Small Silk Mill
Ju
Let's prepare a practical gift for the old man under the moon. With your help, I could complete a small spinning wheel for spinning silkworm cocoons. But where did I put it?
There you have it! Thank you for finding this portable yarn wheel. It's so small that the old man in the moonlight will be able to carry it with him wherever he goes to easily replenish his silk yarn supply! Spinning yarn is such a meditative process.
-
Tireless Spinners
Ju
Make a gift to help the old man in his work under the moon. He binds the souls of lovers together with a red silk thread! So we need to keep that thread with us at all times, so we don't cut it. So I prepared this device!
This is a mechanical silkworm. A friend of mine from the Upper City brought it to me. This silkworm spins a red cocoon right from the start and is small enough to keep under your clothes.

Matchmaker and Dragon
Inspector
By understanding the complex relationship between the matchmaker and the dragon, we saved one young man from forced marriage and the city from upheaval. How else could Ju's friend be this powerful?
-
unfulfilled love
Martha
What better way to show the dragon that love can also be a tragedy? Valerie entrusted me to tell her own story. Sometimes we give our love away forever. Look at these two roses.
Valerie's destiny is lost forever, and just as she lost half of her heart, one of her roses withered too. After all, a survivor has to learn to live on, no matter how hard it is.

Dangerous Passion
Ju
Love is not only a cheerful emotion. We need to tell that to the dragon. I can't reveal names, but someone made an unusual request a while back... please take a look.
This was a bottle of poison, originally a love potion that the client had made herself. Without revealing her name, she wanted to know why the love potion had turned into poison in her own hands.

feelings that spring up
Inspector
Love comes in many forms, but how to explain it to a dragon? This morning Juliette came to me with a message that she had flown in through the window. The messenger I sent to her just returned and told her that she could look at the letter.
Juliette has asked me to find out who sent this letter. The sender is anonymous and the letter is written in symbols to hide the handwriting. It also contained Juliette's favorite wild flowers. This letter was probably sent by someone who knew her well.

Happiness together
Martha
What is love? We need to show it to the dragon. I sent a message to Lady Rosemary and the gatekeeper. Their love was a thorny path, but it blossomed nonetheless. Let's see what they both have to say back.
This family tree must have been grown by Lady Rosemary. She only has two family members, but they are happy and don't need anyone else. You can feel it when you touch the tree.
-
Longtime love
Ju
What is love and what is the difference between love and love? Sometimes love lasts for decades. Way's mother brought him a set of porcelain. She gave it to those parents for their golden wedding anniversary. Please bring one cup here.
Thank you! The steam rising from the cup is indicative of the emotional change experienced by Way's grandparents. In other words, the change from being faintly in love to a strong bond as partners.

Symbolic Gifts
Inspector
We're almost done honoring this year's zodiac. But what about gifts? We can't have a good New Year without gifts. I made New Year's gift bags. Can you bring them to me?
The New Year's gift bag usually contains money to buy dreams. However, the guest to be honored this time is not an ordinary guest, so I will put a good luck charm inside. I pray that the blessing of the Green Dragon will be bestowed upon him!
-
lavish feast
Ju
Let's prepare a feast and put the dragon in a good mood! I asked one of the local housewives to make us a little Chinese New Year cake. But since she brought them to us this morning, they are completely cold. Let's reheat them!
It is like a freshly baked rice cake! Let's leave a slice for the God of the hearth. We have to get the dragon in a good mood before he heads off to greet the Celestials for the New Year. We must get him to say good things about us!
-
Strict welcome
Ju
Do you know what honors the Chinese zodiac this year? Yes, fireworks! We welcome them with gunpowder! We've had them ready for 12 years, for a special occasion. Can you find it?
It is a quintessence! The light of this firework is in the shape of a dragon. Do you understand? This year's zodiac sign will soon understand who is the most welcoming to him and will forgive my rudeness. Besides, fireworks are fun!

qi in the environment
Martha
There are so many details that need to be taken care of in preparing to honor the dragon. In other words, respect resides in every little detail. Let's purify the chi in the house. Bring a bell, some salt, and some wormwood flowers, and I will perform the ritual.
Okay, we have all the tools we need to cleanse every nook and cranny. Hmmm, I guess I could purify this place periodically...but it's kind of a mess, like it was done on purpose.
-
respect one's ancestors
Ju
Listen carefully. To honor the dragon, this year's zodiac sign, you must first make offerings to your ancestors and decorate an altar. It is a magnificent altar! Can you help us?
Lovely! You have decorated it well. By the way, I made this dragon rope decoration. Happiness is in the details! I am sure my ally, the dragon, will be pleased.
-
The flame of the furnace is far away
Martha
You're almost done with the Way amulet. Let's perform the fifth ritual. Wei has left his birthplace, so let's make sure he can feel the warmth of his parents' furnace even when he is far away. Do you have anything good?
Lovely, this is a miniature of the family home. My sister made it for Way when he went to work for a rich family. Even now, as an adult, he is always warmly welcomed by his family.
-
Eternal Sun
Vera
If we can assemble the deterrent helmet, Serena might be able to revert to her human form. Hopefully...we'll need a self-powered battery to store the energy for the device. Find it.
You found me a self-powered battery! Now you can keep your helmet powered up. This battery stores psychic energy. So as long as it's near Serena, it will always be replenished.
-
Power of the Moon
Kira Woodville
If we can restore Selena's humanity, maybe we can help others who have been forcibly transformed into werewolves. Scientists have written about the Selenite Reflector. Let's find it and see how to use it.
That's the Selenite reflector! The records say that Selena needs to appease the werewolf within. Werewolves love moonlight, and the Selenite Reflector shines like moonlight.
-
Mature Adults
Inspector
I will help Way with his amulet making. I just had a chance to talk to his mother and she gave me an idea for a fourth ritual. Would you mind taking off that hat?
This hat is not just any hat. When Way turned 14, he earned the right to wear an adult hat. And this is that first hat! It was made by his grandmother from the finest materials. This is what generosity is all about!
-
The Science of Jade
Martha
We need to put some compassion into the Way's amulet for the next ritual. I can feel the energy in this direction that the appropriate memento for it is/was looking for. Can you bring me that bracelet?
It's nice. This is an abacus bracelet. I can imagine Wei as a student worrying about losing his jade abacus. Wei's grandfather made this bracelet so that he would not lose or forget his abacus. This is thoughtfulness!
-
flying boat
Ju
Perform a second ritual to create a way amulet. It requires enough faith and help. Let's get it from a memento. Bring that handmade boat!
As you can see, this toy is an unusual one. As a child, Way built wing-like sails so he could sail his boat on the water and in the air. And his parents were always helping him experiment.
-
I'm not a kid anymore.
Martha
A wedding is made up of six rituals. Let's perform them in our own way and make a talisman for Way! I asked Way's parents to bring me some mementos. Look for the name tag. I'll explain my idea.
This name tag has Way's name on it. It was made when he was a baby. No one called him by his name openly to keep the forces of evil away. And it has a picture of a tiger on it to keep evil away. That's what a blessing is!
-
divine help
Ju
Perhaps Way is worried that he will not be able to create a harmonious and loving home. Show him the help of the Moon Goddess, the patron saint of marriage. Maybe he can help you find a bonding sculpture.
Oh no, the red thread of the sculpture is a little tangled...my wise grandmother always told me. She said that this red thread is used by the white-haired moonlit old man to bind the souls together.
-
pure heart
Inspector
Now I know what you guys are thinking. I'll try to do the same! I found some documents about Wei that Joo had collected. Among them, I found an interesting drawing Wei did as a child. There were also other books of fairy tales and... sorry, can you help me?
You did well. Life is tough. But this book of children's stories, with pictures of children, will remind Way that love is magical, and that childhood is filled with joy and cheerfulness.
-
Nurtured Emotions
Martha
Don't force Wei to marry you, but you have a bet with an angry Great Spirit, and let Wei know what a real family is. Have you seen any tabletop gardens around here?
That's a really lovely garden! Add some magic sand and bright decorations here...now this gift should speak eloquently to Way that family is an opportunity to create something beautiful and full of wonder.
-
Unforgettable
Martha
We need to support him by showing Way what family is all about. Unlike his younger self, we know love and loss. Bring me the key. I will cast a spell and make a talisman for Way.
This old key has firmly absorbed the magic and become the key to the heart. Touch it and Way will feel the special warmth that only those who have feelings for him can feel.
-
heartwarming light
Ju
We need to show Way that having a family is not a scary thing, but something that gives us peace of mind. Get ready and gather gifts. Not gifts of goods, but gifts of the heart. Find a lighthouse amulet!
What we were looking for was this wonderful lighthouse! The spirit of Way's ancestors should fill the lighthouse with a magical light and tell Way that family is what prevents Way from losing his way or hitting the wall of destiny.

Unexpected Facts
Ju
I had to find a bride for Way before the New Year, but he turned down every date! After meeting him, he retreated to the garden and brought in this and that. Look at this!
So you are saying that this is a one-wheeled prototype vehicle equipped with fireworks? Way says this is a vehicle that can drive itself and accelerate. I have no idea why the date would be this one. Maybe he is nervous?
