Ominous Impulses
Janko
All the items are unusual, but my clock heart beats steadily.\n Oh, it’s malfunctioning again! The anomalous object has activated, and it’s close by. Lend me some artifacts so I can approach it safely.
The artifacts keep my heart working, so I was finally able to get to the item that affects the passage of time. It’s a silver chronometer. I feel its pulses as disruptions.
-
A Form with Content
Ursula Hartley
Maybe the anomalous item affects not only time but also space? On the expedition, I came across an object supposedly made by the Architect. It’s a unique vessel. Look for it.
Yes, I was talking about this incredible Architect’s vase. No one else could manipulate shapes like that. Perhaps the unique vessel also warps time. Have Janko check it out.
-
Light of the Stars
Ursula Hartley
I think there’s something glowing, or rather flickering, in that pile of random exhibit artifacts. Perhaps it’s the glowing object that’s creating the time anomaly. Could you find it?
It’s the Astronomer’s atlas that’s radiating starlight! It was sealed with a chain, but it opened in your hands. I see Clarissa Storke’s bookplate. I have yet to discover how the atlas got into her library.
-
Joy to Your Ears
Janko
Do you hear quiet singing? It doesn’t sound like a clock ticking, but we’re looking for an object that affects the passage of time, and it may make very unusual sounds. Let’s find the source of the singing.
It’s like a hearing-aid tube made from a shell, but I can hear something similar to Sophia’s singing in it. Mrs. Hartley says such an item could be a musical instrument made by the Master.
-
A Fluttering Weapon
Janko
There are so many interesting things found in the latest expedition! It’s not clear what could be creating the anomaly, but I think it’s something mechanical. Let’s look for an item with gears.
A toy butterfly? Wait, my father told me about the Puppeteer’s Butterflies of Retribution, a weapon against flying monsters used by the Defenders. What an exhibit!
-
Valuable Papers
Ursula Hartley
We’re looking for something that affects exhibits and the passage of time, but we don’t know what it is. Oh, I could use some help. I couldn’t get that sturdy bag to open. Why don’t you try looking inside?
You did it! There are just papers in the bag? Oh, they’re the Collector’s blueprints for an airship station. A hero of a mailman delivered them to the Upper City, separated by the Rift. A unique find!
-
My Heart Told Me
Janko
I’m no scientist, but I was in the Museum when the exhibits came to life. My clock heart stopped, but not out of fear. I have a hunch as to what’s going on. Lend me some artifacts, and I’ll prove it.
The artifacts have started the time-travel meter I inherited from my father. Look, the time in the Museum has periodic distortions. I don’t know what that has to do with the incident, though.
-
Ingenious Inventors
Mr. Black
Then it’s the scavengers. They’re nothing but trouble, and bringing exhibits to life to cause a panic sounds like a joke they might have pulled off. They could have used some of that Comet girl’s handicrafts. Look around.
You found a scavengers’ radio! Oh, that’s an exhibit from the fog-history section? Right, it’s old and doesn’t work. Okay, I’ll admit, there’s no recent trace of scavengers in the Museum. But if not them, then who?
-
Twice the Attention
Mr. Black
We need to find out when Adam Kinde, that weird loser inventor guy, was at the Museum. He could have messed with the exhibits. I thought of him when I saw that two-faced mask. Did you see it?
What does the plaque next to this creepy mask say? That it belonged to Adam Kinde’s family? Of course, I was right! Let’s see what Mrs. Hartley has to say about Kinde and his mask.
-
An Oracle Prototype
Ursula Hartley
I recall that Mr. Herbert Danu was among the inventors who recently visited the Museum. He stopped by once and donated a miniature fairy. It’s a popular exhibition piece. Take a look.
You’re right; it’s a mechanical fairy prototype, an example of Danu’s scientific research. But the fairy appeared in the Museum long before these strange animations and is unlikely to have provoked them.
-
A Scientific Breakthrough
Mr. Black
Okay, Carlos Light fixes lamps all over the City, and none of those have come alive. But what was that suspicious duo, Wise and Zaenti, doing at the Museum? I saw their crystal coral. Look for it.
Up close, this crystal coral looks like... a fake! The plaque says it was made by Mrs. Hartley, and it symbolizes historic advances in science.
-
A Bright Person
Carlos Light
Of course, I’ve been to the Museum recently. I come regularly to fix the lamps. There are a lot of them here, and they need care. This time I think I left my tools here somewhere. Did you happen to find them?
That’s right; these are my tools. Thanks for retrieving them. Living exhibits? There might have been something, but I was focused on the lamps and didn’t look around much. I’ve got to go now; I have work to do.
-
The Warmth of Life
Mr. Black
This case isn’t the most obvious... I’ll have to test whether or not these exhibits really became animated. I’ll use a device that detects the heat signature of any object. Give me some artifacts to charge it.
The device works, showing heat signatures for you and me, but there’s not the slightest sign of it in the exhibits. It wasn’t the miracle of animation that caused the panic, but a clever trick. Am I right, Mrs. Hartley?
-
An Ancient Beast
Mr. Black
Let’s also verify the report of the emotional Ms. Haze, who was allegedly attacked by a prehistoric winged monster. There’s only one of those in here. Let’s take a closer look at it.
The "monster" does look prehistoric. So much so, that it must be intact only because it’s suspended from the ceiling. It’s fixed pretty securely, so there’s no way it could have chased Ms. Haze. What scared her, then?
-
A Life Drawing
Mr. Black
Visitors to the Museum have seen people appear out of nowhere near the portrait of a noble townswoman. Remember Avocado’s trick with the portal door? It could be a portal painting. Let’s have a look.
The painting is old, and the masked noblewoman in it looks familiar. But there’s nothing else of note. No portal, no signs of living exhibits. What’s the trick?
-
A Hard Question
Mr. Black
I’ve got enough on my plate without museum exhibits attacking townspeople. And one of the statues tried that, victims claim. It’s the stone one over there. Let’s take a look at it.
Are you sure the statue doesn’t have a mechanism or some kind of rope to pull? I didn’t find any, either. It’s just an old rock. We’ll have to find another exhibit to examine.
-
New Worries
Ursula Hartley
The incident at the Museum has distracted me from cataloguing and exhibiting those artifacts. An expedition unearthed them only recently, and I have documents confirming this. Please help me find them.
Thank you; that’s what I was looking for - an archaeological survey permit. If you compare the dates, you’ll verify that the new exhibits arrived just before the incident.
-
Clutter as Evidence
Mr. Black
I’m going to shake a confession out of our Mrs. Hartley. What kind of sham are they passing off as living exhibits at the Museum? The regular exhibits are a mess, too. Look at that pile in the corner over there.
So these still need to be catalogued and exhibited? Well, we’ve already found indirect evidence suggesting that the Museum staff had better things to do than keep order. Scaring our townspeople, for example.
-
A Museum Case
Mr. Black
Rumors of an invasion of prehistoric monsters and museum exhibits coming to life swirl around the City. We have to expose any fakes and punish those responsible. I’ll write down the stages of the case in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
Fears and Suspicions
Mr. Black
It’s unlikely that anyone actually brought these exhibits to life. Even the bigot, Stone, who sees witches everywhere, wouldn’t believe this story. But a little precaution wouldn’t hurt. You go ahead, and I’ll cover the rear.
Well, are there any statues moving? Or monsters? Of course not! On the other hand, something must have frightened the visitors, so don’t let your guard down. Let’s take a good look around.
-
A Tactical Ambush
Mr. Black
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
A Quiet Place
Conductor
There seems to be no one in the mansion to answer the door. I hope they weren’t attacked by monsters - we can’t just go without spring... Is it me, or is the sunroom’s door ajar?
The door’s definitely ajar, but there are no people in sight. There are no monsters around, either, so that’s good. Oh, there’s so much sunshine here, it makes my soul sing. When will it be like this in the City?
-
Evil Revived
Mirai Furukawa
All that remains is to assemble all the elements into the fearsome, eight-headed deity Yamata no Orochi. To make the mechanical serpent look believable, we’ll secure the parts with artifacts. Can I borrow some from you?
You’ve done a great job and helped our theater a lot. It looks as if the finished Yamata no Orochi is about to spew out dark flames. We got what we needed for our performance!
-
Arising from the Depths
Mirai Furukawa
The mythical serpent won’t be on stage all the time, so we need a mobile platform on which it will rise from the raging sea. We have one, but it needs some decorating. Can you help?
The storm platform looks very impressive, so thank you. The waves hide the wooden structure entirely. This will make Yamata no Orochi rise on stage as if from the depths of the sea.
-
The Sea Lord
Mirai Furukawa
According to the script, Yamata no Orochi will wake up from his slumber, hearing the sound of the horagai war horn - "And the sound of the depths will light the fiery eyes of darkness."\n Can you find the horn of the depths for our performance?
Thank you for finding the horn of the deep! It fits perfectly with the plot, as every detail is important in the performance. Only then will the viewer believe the action on stage.
-
A Slithering Prototype
Mirai Furukawa
Each of the serpent’s scary heads will rest on a movable neck that rises at the right moment to play a key role on stage. Can you help me build the movable neck?
Thank you for building the movable neck! According to legend, the mythical serpent was eight hills and valleys long. Such scale is beyond our scene, but the serpent turned out to be really big nonetheless.
-
A Gruesome Sight
Mirai Furukawa
Making the eight mechanical heads of Yamata no Orochi for the play is no easy task. They should all be different from each other, at least in facial expressions. Can you help me make the serpent’s head?
Thank you for making a very creepy serpent head to match the evil deity. And the scales on it shimmer like real ones. I think the audience will feel a mix of horror and delight!
-
A Burning Look
Mirai Furukawa
The deity Yamata no Orochi has piercing, cherry-colored eyes that glow with monstrous strength. Without this element, the serpent’s image won’t be as threatening. Can you help me create ruby eyes?
Thank you for doing such a great job recreating Yamata no Orochi’s ruby eyes. The embodiment of legends, they seem to shine with an eerie power from within. You don’t want to take your eyes off them.
-
An Underwater Scene
Daisuke Ando
The last scene of the play will take place underwater. To create the effect of underwater reflections, Nao-san made a kirikane prism. But charging the prism requires artifacts. Do you have some with you?
Thank you for charging the kirikane prism. When a ray of light hits its center, the prism will scatter a muted blue light around, along with a sinuous pattern, just like on the seabed!
-
A Sudden Autumn
Daisuke Ando
Usually the action on stage takes place at a certain time of the year, but we need a sharp change from summer to autumn. Can you help fill a momijigari sack with red maple leaves?
Thank you for helping fill the momijigari sack. Nao-san uses the same mechanism as for the snow, and while the audience is distracted by the leaves, the scenery on stage will change color.
-
Spirits of Legends
Daisuke Ando
Nao-san, the stage mechanic, was inspired by an ancient legend and decided to add real magic to the stage in the form of floating lights. We need your help, though. Can you help us test the lights?
Thanks for the help. The floating lights do their job perfectly and add a mystical atmosphere, as if the spirits themselves are manifesting their presence. The audience will love this.
-
A Tender Winter
Daisuke Ando
To create a winter scene for the play, we need a lot of snow that won’t melt in the heat. While Nao-san is making a mechanism for a winter storm, we’ll create some paper snow.
Thanks to you, the paper snow looks just like real snow, but it won’t ruin the performers’ makeup. The mechanism above will pour the snow onto the stage, and side fans will act as the wind.
-
Morning Haze
Daisuke Ando
The hero of the play sets off on his journey at dawn, his thoughts as foggy as the haze over the pond. Nao-san has already created some fog lamps - now they need to be placed near the pond. Can you help?
Thank you for harmoniously arranging the fog lamps. The mechanic filled them not with steam but with some heavy fog; it won’t rise up the stage, filling the space around instead.
-
Wrath of Heaven
Daisuke Ando
To convey wrath of heaven in the play, Nao-san came up with a mechanism made of twisted fur and powder paint - a cloud dyer - that will turn the clouds red. Can you help me assemble it?
Thanks for helping me collect the cloud dyer. When, according to the script, the sky should change color, Nao-san will pull the lever of the mechanism, and the clouds will instantly turn crimson!
-
Washing Things Up
Mirai Furukawa
Just look how dirty the fox is! It’s no good for a leading actress to be so sloppy. She urgently needs a bath! Do you have some artifacts we can use to wash the runaway actress?
Now that’s another story! Is it me, or does the fox look even cuter when she’s clean? Thank you and Juliette-san for your help in finding the fox! I couldn’t have done it so quickly without you.
-
Smart Lure
Mirai Furukawa
I have an idea. Let’s lure the fox out of her shelter with her favorite treat - apple bunnies. If that doesn’t work, then I don’t know what will! Can you bring me some apple bunnies?
Thank you for bringing me the apple bunnies! The actress came out of her hiding spot. The little rascal just wanted attention, and now that we’ve spent half a day looking for her, we’ve satisfied her desire.
-
A Secluded Spot
Mirai Furukawa
The fox actress is very capricious by nature, but she plays beautifully! I already miss her... That tree over there has a hollow down near the roots. What if the fox is in there? Let’s look for her.
Phew, what a relief - I’m so glad we found the fox in the tree hollow! Thank you for your help. But look at how nasty she is - she doesn’t even want to get out of there!
-
On the Fox’s Trail
Mirai Furukawa
It rained yesterday, and the ground in the garden is still damp, so we might find the pawprints of our capricious kitsune. Let’s split up. I’ll go to the maple tree, and you look for pawprints by the pond.
You found pawprints by the pond - great! Look: The tracks break off on the outermost stone near the water, as if the fox had jumped into the water. There are lots of trees on that side of the pond. Let’s go look there.
-
Gone Through the Ground
Juliette
I’ve already circled the entire theater. All the exits are closed, and the fox actress seems to have gone through the ground. By the way, isn’t that a fox tunnel under the fence over there? Let’s check.
Mon ami, this really is a fox tunnel. On the other side of the fence is the main garden. We need to be even more attentive to find traces of the fox actress there.
-
The Crime Scene
Mirai Furukawa
People in the cherry garden say they saw a damaged temari in the bushes - it’s the fox’s favorite ball. Can you help me find it? Maybe someone used the toy to lure out and kidnap the fox actress?
Thank you for helping me find the damaged temari. Look: There was a fox mask next to it. Has it been chewed? It’s unlikely that a kidnapper would do such a thing.
-
What’s Waiting Under the Sun
Daisuke Ando
In entrusting us with the Cloud Theater, Mother wanted a new fate for it. She once taught me how to make a paper crane of eternal heavens. It’s intended to be folded together. Can you help me?
Thank you for helping me fold the crane of eternal heavens. It represents longevity and enduring beauty. The Cloud Theater has been through a lot. It’s time to write its new story.
-
The Fateful Truce
Adeline Svensson
Stealing the gemstones was the Mask Mistress’s ploy. The trials of the "thief" helped Mirai and Daisuke reconcile. Now the theater belongs to them. What stories will they tell people?
-
Meeting Glances
Adeline Svensson
Princess Chocho and General Konoe, played by Mirai and Daisuke, have reunited. The princess is about to open her eyes. Lend me some artifacts so we can bring the Palace of Lights down to the stage!
Just look at the shining Palace of Luminaries! The shades of azure and scarlet for the Moon Tear and Sun Edge light up the theater stage. It is as if night and day had met each other!
-
A Trial of Courage
Adeline Svensson
At the climax of the performance, General Konoe will walk through a wall of flame to prove his courage to the gods. Look for some silk fire - we’ll stealthily place it on stage!
This silk fire looks real even when folded! Hiding behind the scenery, we’ll place it on a wind machine - and the wall of flame will be ready to scare the audience.
-
Sworn Enemies
Adeline Svensson
Daisuke returns to the stage. His character, General Konoe, will now have to defeat demonic shadows. They are controlled by a special mechanism, so start it on my signal!
Fantastic - the demonic shadows move like they’re real! I’ll write a major article about this performance - the technical capabilities of the Cloud Theater are amazing.
-
A Bittersweet Dream
Adeline Svensson
Mirai will soon appear on stage as Princess Chocho, wandering through her magical dreams. At that moment, we’ll need to move the ringing moths. Can you help me?
When you moved the ringing moths, the audience gasped! Princess Chocho could control her dreams, and even though she thought the general had betrayed her, she created his image in her dream.
-
Man-Made Waves
Adeline Svensson
Our starring duo’s crushing it - the audience is watching the scene with bated breath! In one of the next scenes, a turbulent mountain stream will block the general’s way. Can you find the painted river?
Thanks to stage mechanisms, this painted river will come to life and look real! By crossing it, Daisuke’s character, General Konoe, will be a step closer to rescuing Princess Chocho.
-
The Song of Thunder
Adeline Svensson
While Mirai and Daisuke are performing, we’ll help them with some special effects! The scene where General Konoe hears the sound of demon bird’s wings features a shakuhachi flute. Quickly, let’s find it!
You’ve found the shakuhachi flute! Its unusual, thunderous sound will emphasize the importance of the demon bird’s appearance in the scene - the moment when General Konoe realizes the Emperor’s betrayal.
-
Under Watchful Gazes
Mirai Furukawa
After overcoming the obstacles in the theater’s corridors, we reached the door to the stage. It’s locked, and there are lots of eyes painted on it. Bring me some artifacts; I’ll try to find the secret button!
Thanks to your artifacts, I was able to find the disguised hundred-eyes button. I think the eyes represent the gazes of the onlookers. But we are no longer afraid.
-
Messengers of Truth
Daisuke Ando
Looking for a way to the stage, we came to a fork with lots of doors. There’s a sign on the floor that says, "Whoever trusts another will find their way." I think I got it! Look for lying-bird amulets by the doors.
You’ve found the lying birds! So we’re going through the door marked with them. These birds bring about the opposite effect of bad wishes. Mirai-chan and I have been hurt by what hasn’t been said. We won’t let that happen again.
-
Black Rain
Daisuke Ando
Careful! In the dim path ahead, I almost missed some ink pouring from the tunnel’s ceiling! Mirai-chan and I are already wearing our costumes - we have to protect them. Please help me find a floral umbrella!
You found the floral umbrella just in time! These were made for outdoor performances in rainy weather. With this umbrella, we’ll protect the costumes of the general and the princess!
-
A Remedy for All Evil
Mirai Furukawa
The further we go into the tunnels, the scarier it gets, but the audience is waiting for us! Now there’s a door with many handprints blocking our way. That’s a very bad sign! Can you find some temple salt?
We’re lucky you found the temple salt! I’ll put it near the handprinted door and open it - the salt will protect us from bad energy. We can’t let anything ruin the play.
-
Lurking in the Shadows
Daisuke Ando
I hear the distant voices of the audience in the tunnels, but the way is blocked by a web with lots of spiders on it, and there’s a puppet spider hanging in the middle. Can you shine the light so I can get it?
I couldn’t have gotten the puppet spider without you. You see, I’m mortally afraid of spiders. I think the thief wanted me to get over myself. I’ll take the puppet on stage with me as proof.
-
Vanquished Darkness
Mirai Furukawa
Can we find the right tunnel and make it to the stage? Hopefully, performers’ luck will protect us. It’s pitch black in the tunnel. Can you find the fire-starting kit, hiuchi-gama?
Thank you for finding the hiuchi-gama. I’ve been afraid of the dark since I was a child, and the thief must have known that. Thanks to you, we’ve lit the lanterns. Now let’s hurry to the stage!
-
In the Eyes of the Heavens
Mirai Furukawa
In the finale, the gods will test General Konoe’s resolve. As a reward, they will strike a celestial drum, and its sound will awaken Princess Chocho. Can you bring some artifacts to tune the drum?
Thanks to your artifacts, the drum now sounds muffled, like the distant rumble of a waterfall. This sound will awaken the princess, and she will reunite with the general in the finale.
-
The Light of Hope
Daisuke Ando
Hopefully, the new Garden of Dreams will resonate in the hearts of the audience. General Konoe will encounter many dangers along his way, but a guiding spirit will help him. Could you light the lantern that bears its image?
The guiding spirit’s lantern you lit is shining with mysterious light. In the new story, it will help the general reach the plateau at the heavens’ border, where he will face the trial of the gods.
-
A Faithful Guard
Mirai Furukawa
By changing the story of the Garden of Dreams, we can revive it. General Konoe will hide the sleeping princess in a mountain palace and leave the spirit dog inugami to guard her. Can you look for the inugami attire?
I didn’t know the theater had such beautiful inugami attire! This spirit dog will protect the princess while the general sets off to find a cure to awaken her.
-
Bad Tidings
Adeline Svensson
It’s so interesting to watch Mirai and Daisuke change the story! I offered them something. General Konoe will receive a message - an arrow with a letter. Can you help me make it?
Thanks to you, the arrow with the letter looks authentic! This message will be sent to General Konoe by his friend, who’s learned of the Emperor’s plan to wage war on Chocho’s kingdom.
-
Wings of Trouble
Daisuke Ando
The play’s plot includes General Konoe quarreling with Princess Chocho. It used to be because of his secret plan to blacken her name, but now things will be different. Can you find the feather of a demon bird?
You found the feather of the demon bird! It was made for an older version of the play. Now the general will find the feather and realize that he was tricked into quarrelling with the princess.
-
A Secret Ill-Wisher
Mirai Furukawa
In order for the play Garden of Dreams to have a different ending, we need to change some parts of the plot. Princess Chocho and General Konoe met in the garden. Please find a black snowdrop!
Good thing you found the black snowdrop! Let the Dark Emperor be the new villain. He will come to the garden searching for General Konoe, and gloomy flowers will grow in his footprints in the snow.
-
Shards of the Future
Mirai Furukawa
That fight didn’t just break my heart. When I went on stage that day, the moon mirror, my heroine’s favorite item, shattered. Bring me some artifacts, and I’ll put the pieces together.
Thanks to your artifacts, I was able to assemble the moon mirror. It shattered when I entered the stage, and I thought it was a sign that it was time for me and Daisuke-kun to part ways.
-
A Frozen Dawn
Mirai Furukawa
On the day of my fight with Daisuke-kun, fate itself was against us. I still hoped to reconcile and wanted to give him a gift, the "fan of dawning twilight." Can you find it on my desk?
Thank you for finding the fan of dawning twilight. These are Daisuke-kun’s favorite colors... Alas, when I came to give Daisuke-kun the fan, I saw another woman confessing her love to him.
-
The Princess’s Palace
Daisuke Ando
Mirai-chan and I had a fight at rehearsal. I wanted to leave to cool my head, but I accidentally tripped over a lamp. It fell on the scenery screen and caught fire. Can you find the burned scenery?
Because of me, the scenery Mirai-chan painted was burned. She had dreamed of portraying the palace of the play’s heroine, Princess Chocho. Did Mirai-chan think I set it on fire on purpose...?
-
A Warrior of the Past
Daisuke Ando
Maybe we had a fight because Mirai-chan didn’t believe me? I tried so hard to be worthy of her. She keeps a book on her desk that tells the tales of heroes. Please find it!
See the warrior on the cover of the book? I took the likeness of General Konoe from him, thinking of Mirai-chan’s favorite legends. Alas, I was too awkward and often got angry because of it.
-
White Skin
Mirai Furukawa
On the day of my quarrel with Daisuke, misfortune haunted us both. In the morning, I was putting on my makeup and suddenly realized how colorless my beauty is. Please find the old makeup brush by the mirror.
While applying makeup with this brush, I suddenly saw in the mirror a plain girl who was a far cry from Daisuke-kun, the Prince of the Stage! I was so upset that I threw the brush on the floor, cracking the brush.
-
A Stage Weapon
Daisuke Ando
The day Mirai-chan and I had a fight, everything went wrong, starting that very morning. First, I broke the most beautiful prop blade at a rehearsal. Here, look at what happened to it!
This broken blade is, alas, beyond repair. It would have looked great in my character’s final appearance. My coworkers made fun of me for my awkwardness, and I was so angry!
-
A Demon’s Smile
Mirai Furukawa
Next to the chest, I found the thief’s signature - a gigaku mask. It’s unusual and bears a menreiki’s face. Examine it, but take an artifact in each hand!
Keep the artifacts ready until you put away the mask - menreiki may be attracted to deception. Daisuke and I grew up together, and he was the one who told me about this yokai. I think he’s the one who left the mask.
-
A Secret Key
Mirai Furukawa
Before the Moon Tear was stolen, I kept it in my dressing room. Despite the theater’s cohesiveness, I always locked the door. It was forced open on the day of the theft, and this screwdriver was sticking out of it. Take a look.
See this screwdriver’s distinctive handle? It’s used to create mechanisms out of wood. Daisuke-kun often helps make scenery, and the screwdriver is from his personal set.
-
A Warrior’s Beauty
Mirai Furukawa
The thought that Daisuke-kun stole the Moon Tear to keep me from leaving makes me so sad. No, I didn’t touch the evidence on the floor. There’s his ceremonial plume is stuck in the floorboards over there. Can you find it?
This plume is part of the helmet Daisuke-kun wears on stage. I understand your skepticism - we can’t know for sure if it appeared here just yesterday. But so many things fit together...
-
The Mystery of Leaves
Mirai Furukawa
Daisuke-kun and I have been through so much together. I didn’t think he would do something like this, but everything points to him. You’ll understand once you find the chest with ginkgo leaves on my desk.
See the little cache in the chest with ginkgo leaves you found? That’s where I kept the Moon Tear, and only Daisuke-kun knew the solution to the puzzle that locked it.
-
A Crimson Outburst
Mirai Furukawa
When I realized that the gift of the Mask Mistress, who raised me, had disappeared, I almost lost my mind and rushed to look for clues. Please examine the pillar; you’ll find clear evidence of the thief!
The enamel imprint you found is evidence against Daisuke-kun! His armor was recently painted in the same colors, and I saw scratches on it. Why would Daisuke-kun come here?
-
A Dragon’s Trail
Mirai Furukawa
I kept my precious Moon Tear in my dressing room, in the heart of the theater. When I noticed the gemstone was gone, I searched the room in a panic and found this. Look at those sparkly glitter scales!
See the unusual shape of these scales? They represent the skin of a dragon. The scales show the audience Konoe’s magical nature - and adorn the face of Daisuke-kun when he plays him!
-
The Keys to Heaven
Adeline Svensson
Actress Mirai Furukawa is convinced that her stage partner, Daisuke Ando, stole her jewel to disrupt their play. I’ll take notes in the Diary, and we’ll start investigating right away!
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
Twilight’s Excitement
Adeline Svensson
Fans are disturbed by the news of Mirai Furukawa’s departure. They’re crowding outside the theater, so I’ll have to use my official status. Ladies and gentlemen, let the press through!
Great, we’ve made our way into the building! Theater magic is all around us, frozen in the painted scenery. Views of mountains and mystical palaces play an important role in the staging of the Garden of Dreams!
-
The Incipient Storm
Adeline Svensson
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
Toward Destiny
Inspector
Frankly, I’m intrigued. I’ve never visited the matchmaker before. She’s the keeper of a thousand-year-old tradition, and her house is probably full of secrets and wonders. Let’s look in the yard. Be careful!
That’s an amazing yard! And it’s already decorated for the holiday. Apparently, here lives a lady with exquisite taste. I hope the owner’s soul matches her home. But I don’t see the matchmaker. Where is she?

Brand New Colors
Adeline Svensson
The case is solved. The only thing left to do is recolor the butterflies. For the rainbow dust to work properly, we need to enhance it with the magic of the City. Do you have some artifacts?
The freshly-colored butterflies look so wonderful! They’ll make the flowers happy, and they’ll start to bloom again. The fairies are very ashamed of what they’ve done, but they’re immensely grateful for your help.

Making Things Right
Adeline Svensson
The fairies washed the garden with spring water and didn’t notice that it rinsed the colors off the butterflies. The fairies were very ashamed to admit it. Let’s help the fairies recolor the butterflies. Please bring me some rainbow dust.
Thank you for bringing the rainbow dust. The fairies wanted to fix things themselves, but they couldn’t. Now they promise not to wash the garden with spring water nor to keep such secrets.

A Rare Specimen
Adeline Svensson
It wasn’t easy, but we caught... a colorless butterfly?! I didn’t think they really existed! Please examine the butterfly to see if it’s real, or if it’s not, what we think it is.
It’s a colorless butterfly after all. Looks like its wings worked like lenses and burned through the flowers. Oh, there were fairies hiding near the bait! They’re begging us to forgive them and help them make things right!

A Garden Hunt
Adeline Svensson
The bait worked, and several glints have started circling around it. We’ve got to catch them! Bring me a catcher made of cobwebs: They are usually reinforced with dew and can catch anything.
That’s a great catcher - thank you! These cobweb threads are elastic and strong enough to hold a ray of sunlight, but they’re still safe, even for the most delicate creature. It’s perfect for us!

An Unidentified Creature
Adeline Svensson
Look, strange glints have appeared near the withered flowers. Maybe the glints burned the flowers? Can you help me create a flower bait to attract more glints?
You’ve created a wonderful flower bait! Using both the color and scent of the flower is very clever. My readers are sure to love it. Let’s hurry and use the bait!

A Garden Incident
Adeline Svensson
The Maiden of Spring claims that her fairies woke up the butterflies. She checked personally. Did the trolls kidnap them? We should investigate the withered flowers. Maybe we’ll find some clues.
Hmm, some of the withered petals are burned through as if by a lens. But there are no other marks like this around, so it looks like the flowers were deliberately harmed. Maybe that’s what drove the butterflies away?

Time to Get Creative
Valerie
I’ve come up with a recipe for some Easter pastry, but to bake it, I need the power of the City of Shadows. Do you happen to have any artifacts with you? They’ll add some flavor magic to the cooking process.
Thanks to your help and your artifacts, my pastry turned out exactly as I wanted! It’s delicious! I’m glad we baked so many desserts for the fair.

Dutch Easter Bread
Valerie
Paasstol is a Dutch Easter bread. They say it’s the stuffing of dried fruit that makes it special. It’s a wonderful option to bake for the fair. Let’s make it together!
You’re a great baker! Look how the paasstol has risen! Lots of dried fruit infused the bread with different flavors. We’ll serve it with ice cream at the fair. It will be delicious!
-
An Austrian Dish
Valerie
In the real world, the Detective had a partner from Austria, who treated him to an Easter Reindling. The Detective said it was delicious. Shall we make a Reindling?
Thanks for your help! The dough for an Austrian Reindling is rolled out thinly, smeared with butter, and then filled. It makes for a delicious and delicate dish.
-
A Spanish Cake
Valerie
When I first heard the Spanish "Mona de Pascua," I thought it was a traditional dance! But no! It’s an Easter cake with a hard-boiled egg inside! Let’s make it.
Thank you for helping me make Mona de Pascua! It has a beautiful name and looks very appetizing. And what a flavor! Let’s eat at least two - we don’t need to bring everything to the fair!
-
A Treat from Finland
Valerie
Martha once treated me to a strange Easter dessert that’s native to Finland. Mämmi, I think. A spirit told her the recipe, and she shared it with me. Should we make it?
Thank you! I’m not surprised it was a spirit who shared the mämmi recipe with Martha - it’s a black-colored dish, after all! But it still looks delicious, and I’ll quickly sell it out at the fair.
-
A Mexican Dessert
Valerie
I read that in Mexico they have an unusual Easter dessert made of stale bread and hard cheese - capirotada. I wonder what it tastes like... Can you help me make it?
Thanks for helping me make capirotada! It’s a really unusual dessert. Using my favorite parmesan cheese was a great decision!

An Easter Charm
Lady
We’ve covered the pysanka with multicolored symbols, and it turned out wonderfully. But to increase their influence and activate this amulet, we need to charge it with energy. Could you lend me some artifacts?
Your artifacts never fail! The charged symbols on the pysanka are brimming with power! Now we have a real Easter amulet - a pysanka of happiness. Thank you for your help in creating it.
-
A Clear Moon
Lady
To get rid of negative thoughts and purify the soul, we’ll use some white on the pysanka. It can be found on the spring moon. Can you get some moon chalks?
Thank you for getting the moon chalks! Now we can draw a white moon on the pysanka, which is a symbol of faith, purity, and clarity of mind. Besides, the chalks shine beautifully!
-
A Symbol of Love
Lady
The red color on the pysanka means goodness, love, sacrifice, and life-giving fire. It’s best to use fiery gouache for this. Bring me some, please.
Thank you for bringing me the fiery gouache! Now the pysanka will attract goodness and keep ardent feelings from fading. I suggest we draw some fiery flowers with them - the symbols of true love.
-
Green Growth
Lady
Now we need some green for the pysanka. It brings peace of mind and denotes the exuberance of nature, hope, and harmony. Please make some green, herbal ink.
You’ve made some great herbal ink - just what we need for the pysanka. Let’s draw green sprouts with it: These symbols represent hope and connection with nature.
-
Waves of Life
Lady
The next color for our pysanka will be blue, which is responsible for purity and health. The best blue watercolor dye comes from a spring brook. Please bring me the watercolor.
Thank you for the brook’s watercolor. It will imbue the pysanka with healing powers. They say putting wavy symbols on the pysanka will help you avoid misfortunes.
-
A Yellow Sun
Lady
For the pysanka’s yellow color to bring joy and protection from evil forces, we’d better use a bright and sunny pigment. Will you bring me some radiant pencils?
Thank you for bringing me the radiant pencils. They’re so bright! Let’s use them to draw a sun on the pysanka. It’s the oldest symbol of light and life, and it will keep us from illnesses.
-
Direct Connection
Maiden of Spring
So that Lady and the Doorkeeper can see their children more often, I’m going to give them a little gift. It’s full of springtime charms, but we need to add some of the City’s magic to it, too. Do you have the artifacts?
This bottle contains an enchanted brook song. It will reach the fairies wherever they are and open the shortest route to the City so that they come to see their parents at once.
-
Magic Results
Detective
We had to bustle around the Gate a bit, and spring was a little delayed. But it became even more beautiful, as Lady and the Doorkeeper performed a real miracle by reviving the magical flower fairies.
-
The First Flight
Lady
Such news makes my head spin! The Maiden of Spring has given our babies a gift of wings woven with magic. We have to be careful with them. Please lend me some artifacts.
The magic of the City joined with the magic of spring made the babies’ wings grow strong just before our eyes. How beautiful is their first flight! It’s good that Adeline is here - she’ll take a photo to remember.

Sprouts of Hope
Maiden of Spring
I grew the most exotic flowers, hoping that a fairy would appear in some of them. But the miracle never happened, even if the flowers looked like fairies. Look around, and you’ll find some.
There was so much magic and hope in these flowers that their petals took the shape of my sweet fairies. I couldn’t look at them without sadness, comforted only by the fact that these flowers adorn the earth.
