What to be joined
Miller
Looking for resin? Last year I planted a tree near the water mill, and a blizzard broke off several branches. I thought about cutting them off, but the leaking resin joined the broken pieces. I'll look for resin over there!
Looks like you got the resin. Resin is a restorative for spring breath particles. I hope it works!
-
gravity
Doorkeeper
The mortar crushed the spring breath particles into tiny shards. To reattach the mashed particles, we will need a sun magnet. Let's go look for it!
You have fortunately found a sun magnet! It is shaped like a maze made of cosmic energy and the sun attracts particles. Within this maze, the particles reattach themselves according to the laws of nature.
-
Hold the light in your hand.
Doorkeeper
The miller warned us that the attic, where the troll tracks continue, is pitch black. Thieves might attack us out of the dark and run away. Trolls are nocturnal and have better night vision than we do. We had better find something to light the way ahead.
You have found a great, dazzling lamp! As the sun sets into the ocean, particles of sunlight are stripped away. Inside the lamp are the pieces. The light from this lamp could blind hundreds of trolls!
-
Locked in a box.
Doorkeeper
Shhhh! See that big box in the corner? A troll with a bag might be able to get inside. I noticed the box is unlocked. Let's get closer. I will open the box and you can catch the troll!
The box was empty, wasn't it? Apparently, the troll stole other items from the powder grinder. How did the culprit carry all those things? I'm stuck. Any ideas on what to do?
-
security device
Miller
The door is locked, but it doesn't hurt to install a device that will alert you if a troll tries to escape with the stolen bag. There is a specially made security device somewhere. Help me find it and install it.
This is what I was looking for! I often store my crops in the waterwheel shed, so I have this device set up for the winter to protect them from thieves. If a thief turns the knob, the alarm bell will ring and block the door.
-
Traces of powder
Doorkeeper
The thief will not have gone far. Look at the floor of the water mill. They are covered with snow dust. The miller said he sweeps the floor every day. This means that in addition to our footprints, there should be boot prints left by the thieves.
Most of the footprints are from the shoes of the miller. There are footprints of you, of Agvid, and of me. But the footprints over there must be those of the thief. The tracks lead to a boot that was taken off in the middle of the trail. Considering the size, they belong to a troll!
-
False Pathways
Agvid Hanson
When the waterwheel house stops, take it apart and find the parts made by the trolls. The mystery of the spring particles must be there...look, the parts are tangled in the roots. Try to loosen the tangle with an artifact.
When I held up the artifact, the roots loosened. See, the new component has a hidden part. There is a contraption shaped like a bridge... see how the spring particles are moving along it? This is what was pulling the particles together!
-
forcing to a stop
Miller
You have to understand. I can't interrupt the cold air grind. So I had no choice but to accept the deal... you want to stop the waterwheel shed to examine the parts? The stop switch is on the wall next to the waterwheel...
You know, the switch with the branch on the wall. That's not just a decoration. The switch is made of real vines with roots that lead to the waterwheel. If you want to stop the mill, just pull the switch down.
-
Suspicious Repair
Miller
How did you repair such a complicated breakdown, you ask? At first I tried to repair it myself and it didn't work. Then I made a contract with a blacksmith who was at the market in Trolls. I have the contract in my house, let's go find it.
Trolls don't trust ink, so the deal was written in stone. The blacksmith demanded a very high price for the new parts, but we managed to compromise. It's all written in the contract, you see.
-
Recent breakdowns
Miller
Now you know I have no ill will. I don't know why this water mill is attracting the breath of spring. Perhaps it is due to a recent breakdown. Do you see the broken parts?
Yes, that component is what caused this water mill to stop. It's the heart of this magical contraption. But the part is worn out... the crystal in the middle has lost its light, and there is a crack at the base. It was a pain in the ass to get rid of the problem.
-
Conqueror of Cold Air
Agvid Hanson
The miller assured us that the water mill would not take anything away from the spring particles. Rather, he said, it brings spring closer. He even seems to be able to show us the blueprints of the waterwheel house so that we can understand how it works. But for that, we need to help him find the blueprints.
Thanks for finding the blueprints. According to the diagram, it appears that the water mill attracts cold air through a magical device that grinds it into snow dust, thus bringing spring. So the miller collects that powder and scatters it when winter comes.
-
Symbol of Happiness
Miller
Once, when there was a crop failure, my family was starving. Desperate, I made a bow and went hunting. I saw a raven attacking a swallow and shot an arrow at it. To my surprise, the raven was an evil wizard and the swallow was a spring girl. See that nest under the roof?
This nest appeared after I rescued the spring girl. Swallows, they say, nest near kind-hearted people. Since then, I have never had a bad harvest. The spring girl allowed me to be a part of her entourage and work for the spring.
-
glittering traces
Agvid Hanson
The breath of spring, even when squelched, radiates sunshine. Take a closer look. Do you see the gold pieces left behind? Let's split up here. You look at the garden. I'll check around the water mill.
You have found it! There are pieces left on this sieve. It is obvious that someone has grinded the spring breath particles. Can you feel the heat coming from the sieve? Perhaps there must be a bag containing the shards nearby.
-
snow dust
Agvid Hanson
If someone crushed and froze the spring particles, there must be other evidence left behind. Look at this mechanical scale. It looks like someone measured a bag of something on the ground. Check the scale to see if there are any traces of stolen particles left behind.
There was only flour on the mechanical scale, but this flour was cold... at first I thought that the particles had been frozen and milled, but there was no sign of the breath of spring that brings life. Let's keep investigating...
-
Last ice
Agvid Hanson
I noticed that the last spring breath that flowed out of that heron, like all the other particles in the river, was rushing to the waterwheel. Please help us investigate!
It's strange. All the snow has melted around here and the sun is warming up, yet there is still ice on the waterwheel. Did someone break the particles of spring breath and freeze them?
-
Stone Life
Agvid Hanson
I, too, wish the grain in the river were gold. But the situation is more serious than you think. These particles are the breath of spring. And the fact that they appear is never a good sign. Take a good look at the mating herons near the waterwheel.
As you may have noticed, one heron has turned to stone. Almost every particle of the life-giving spring breath has left this heron. The same thing has happened to the flora and fauna near the river. Something has literally taken the life out of them.
-
Stone Watchers
Huntress
To regain your strength, you first need an amulet of perception made of gargoyle skin. These statues have lined the roofs for ages, keeping watch over the precious artifacts. Perception is an indispensable trait for the gargoyle.
You found a perception amulet! It should help you in your future explorations.
-
Light and warmth
Valerie
Brrrr... it's a little chilly in the room Madame Miyuki has created for the cats of Dusk. These cats basically prefer lower temperatures, but sometimes they need some warmth. For example, how about an aroma lamp with an extra flame? Let's look for it!
Nice aroma lamp with a solid lid so you won't get burned by the embers. Dusk and her kittens will be more comfortable with a heat source like this nearby. And it would be a nice addition to a cat café!
-
reliable watchdog
Valerie
Madame Miyuki is trying to create the best environment for the twilight cats, but she can't do it all at once. The kitties have to know other critters, but it's hard to find ones that like twilight. Hmmm...maybe you could go get some silver-winged beetles?
Wow, you caught a silver-winged beetle! I could never do that...because Eddie would scare the crap out of me. This nocturnal beetle thrives in the absence of light and has a very hard outer skin. They don't get hurt when the kittens play with them, so I'm sure they'll get to know the world a little better!
-
Magical capture
Cardsharp
I have an idea! Let's fish some grains of gold out of the river and examine them. If the gold in the river is cursed as I predicted, it would be foolish to do it with our bare hands. We'll use a net instead!
You made a net out of flowering vines to scoop up the rare grains! Wait a minute... the grains in the net float like feathers. How can gold float like this?
-
source of attraction
Cardsharp
The house by the river is probably a water mill. I hope it's abandoned, but if there's an owner, he'll have all the treasures the river has brought to him all to himself. Let's check out the property!
The water mill yard is well kept and the shed itself looks new. It obviously has an owner, but he doesn't seem to be around right now. This is a surprise! Like a magnet, the shining grains in the river are attracted to the blades of the waterwheel. But where do they go after that?
-
fountain that never dries up
Madame Miyuki
I have been feeding and watering the cats in the twilight. Because of the anomaly, these cats need fresh water from a mountain spring. Could you please find a spring so that the cats in the twilight can drink fresh water at any time?
Thank you for the fountain stone. It was created by a mountain goddess for her beloved storyteller. Centuries ago, the goddess took her beloved storyteller to heaven, leaving only the stone in this world. From now on, it will be useful for the cat in the twilight.
-
figure of a cat with one paw raised (usu. white porcelain)
Martha
Your next job is going to be a little harder. Look for the beckoning cat, also known as the "beckoning cat. They know how to invite good luck.
You found me a beckoning cat with its right hand raised! Actually, I forgot to tell you... the right hand brings good luck, but the left hand invites customers into your store or restaurant. Maybe the card scammer's casino has one. They seem to be quite prosperous.
-
lucky horseshoe
Martha
I also need a horseshoe for the ritual. It works best if it's made of precious metal, but let's try it first.
Silver horseshoes! It must have been someone's amulet! I hope you didn't steal it?
-
lucky clover
Martha
I hate to say this, but I knew you were right. That detective is being held captive by the Spirit of Gambling. A small, lowly, ancient spirit with a half-priest in it. It robs him of self-control, blinds him to unreasonable risks, and makes him crave money. Let the forces of fortune, fate, good luck, and blessings be on your side. First, find a four-leaf clover. Then I'll tell you what to do next.
The leaves are dry, did you borrow them from someone else? Or did you originally have some and gave them to me to do some good?
-
Troubling situation
Cardsharp
Ninjas don't always fight you face to face. Detectives can even have a blade to the throat in the blink of an eye in a smoke of poison. A "shuriken of ideas" would give you the strength to handle any situation. Find that one.
Hmmm, the "shuriken of ideas" is decorated with jewelry... If the detective doesn't have to fight the ninja with the garden, I would love to have this rare object myself.
-
Tiger bravery
Inspector
It takes more than courage to spot a shuriken flying toward you. Look for the "rigid shuriken." With that, the detective will be able to overcome his hesitation in his fight against the ninja.
I see the shuriken you found is encrusted with yellow sapphires. This will give the detective more courage than he ever imagined. I guess he'll need this to fight the ninjas.
-
Overcoming height
Valerie
According to Madame Miyuki, the kittens at Dusk are shy. That's why she wants them to get used to the cat café as soon as possible. But where do the kittens play and sharpen their nails? Mother cats and kittens need a place to climb, so could you please help me find Midnight Willow together?
I see you found the Midnight Willow! Martha told me the best thing about this tree. She said the branches grow even when cut from the trunk, which glows in the dark. I'm sure the cats at twilight would feel right at home up in this tree!
-
Work Notes
Martha
The detective is terribly depressed. To help him enjoy life, let's find him a notepad and a pencil that will never run out of lead. Because he is always complaining that he doesn't have the tools to record evidence.
With a notepad and pencil like this, the detective won't be able to resist returning to this life. The terrible depression would completely disappear!
-
Useful Gifts
Martha
All it takes to restore the hope of life to a guide is... what? A lot of whiskey? No! It has to be something more useful. Find a bolt in the rail. He loves to fix railroad defects.
With a bolt in the rail, the guides can keep working. So it should revive interest in life.
-
Happiness in the Past
Martha
This coin, also known as an "obolus," is cursed. Whoever holds this coin will be drawn to the Carrón of the Underworld. We need to find something of value for each person who holds the coin to drive away the distractions to the underworld and make them want to return to this life. Balloons would work well for Valerie.
With these fun balloons, we should be able to lure Valerie over here from the dark underworld... Oh, I totally forgot. We need to get the coins back from the cursed people and give them to Karoun.
-
The Road in the Mist
Huntress
Bao is a young man of great skill. Even I am amazed at his knowledge of the Chinese art of war. To prepare your defense, you need a special two-wheeled chariot with a small statue on it. Find it before the monsters arrive.
The Shihan Chariot is explained in the Wujing Soukyou. It helps you find your way in the fog. The image of a man with outstretched arms serves as a compass.
-
Debt to Detective.
Cardsharp
I told you earlier that I've been rushing to pay off my debt since meeting with the enforcer of the curse. In fact, I owe the detective three coins as well. I want you to take the three coins out of the bag you brought me and give them to me when you meet with the detective.
Could you, by any chance, help us return the coins to our creditors? The list is getting rather long...and I'm getting tired of running around town.
-
Images of the Future
Martha
My inner eye is turning to images of a possible future. A horde of monsters is attacking the city, but there is a remedy. The defense caves that Bao read about in the Kiyo-ei Shinsho. Find it!
You have found the defense yagura. You see a new vision of the future. You have a better chance of surviving this attack.
-
Tricks of the Sea
Mei
This doubles our opportunities, my father, the emperor, said. The city's defenses are not complete without taking into account the possibility of attack from the sea. Find the burning fire ships!
Fire ships are essential to skillful sea combat. It is necessary to create a maritime domain map of the city, such as the Chia-Kun map in the Wu-Bi Zhi book of military strategy.
-
Signs in the Mist
Yui
Monsters will soon flood the city! Hurry up and plan your defensive strategy. Chinese books will help. One of them mentions rocket cannons. Can you find it for me?
When we were preparing for battle I read in the Houlongjin book about the use of rocket cannons. We could use these to signal each other when monsters were coming.
-
soft light
Madame Miyuki
Twilight's cat and her kittens were brought to the cat cafe and I decided to watch over their care. There was an anomaly and those kittens were much more nervous than before. I ordered some "moonlights" so the kittens wouldn't be frightened by the bright light. Can you help me hang them?
Thank you for your help in installing the lights. This was made by a craftsman who could reproduce the light of the moon. The soft light is gentle on the kittens' eyes, and we thought they would relax in a room lit by that light. I hope those kittens will adjust to their new home.
-
Silver freight car
Cardsharp
Excuse me, can you please save the poor Trump scammers from having their blood, sweat and hard earned money taken away? I'm in danger of getting a lot of creditor orders. After recent events, I had to rush to pay my debts before someone cursed me. I have already given away one bag of coins. Can I ask for your help for another bagful?
For me, this is a tremendous burden, you understand... The truth is, handing over a bag full of coins to a creditor is not a decision I made on my own.
-
Flowering Power
Juliette
I too would like to help a kitten affected by fog. I recently got sick from overwork, but Martha gave me a special concoction that made me feel better right away. I thought I brought that medicine with me, but where did I put it? Please help me find the golden root elixir!
I see you found the golden root elixir! Thank you! This elixir will help my kitties feel better after I get rid of the fog. Martha says the living plant gives this elixir special powers and I treasure it as much as my flowers.
-
thread of salvation
Madame Miyuki
While removing the fog from the cat, one must not frighten the cat. After all, fog creates anomalies. It is better to set up a protective ward around the cat. I have made a special rope, a crystal shimenawa, to put up the warding. Can you bring it to me?
Thank you for the crystal shimenawa. This rope is woven with crystal fibers and is enchanted, so it has strong spiritual power. If you make a ring around your kitten with this shimenawa, you can protect it from dangerous anomalies.
-
light brown
Isabelle
Chinese white tea would be another great addition to my collection. It's one of the most precious and popular types of tea in all of China. It is truly the tea of emperors. I am sure you will find it.
You really do work wonders! I finally have some white tea in my collection. The name comes from the white hairs that grow all over the buds of the tea leaves. The entrancing honeyed aroma and the refreshing bitter taste make it perfect for morning sipping.
-
green tea
Isabelle
Green tea is a must in my elegant tea collection. It's right up my alley for its health benefits, such as relieving fatigue. Will you look for it for me?
You found green tea! I can't believe I found it so quickly. Is this your first time drinking this tea? The directions say, "It relieves fatigue and exhaustion, quenches thirst and lightens the body..." Oh, it sounds like the instructions for a water pipe, doesn't it? What? "It also has anti-aging properties. That's the best part!
-
Oolong tea or Oolong tea
Isabelle
I've got a growing collection of teas, but I haven't gotten my hands on Aurong tea or Oolong tea (it's pronounced Chinese, so it doesn't matter which) yet. Oolong tea is supposed to help with style. Could you please go look for it for me?
What wonderful luck to have found that famous Oolong tea! It is known as the tea with the most complex aroma and taste. That is why this tea was often drunk at important tea ceremonies.
-
The key is breathing
Madame Miyuki
It is not enough to keep the cat away from the fog and clean its body. If you don't let it exhale all the fog it has inhaled, the fog will circulate in its body forever. This is why we need young storm pine trees. Can you help us find them?
You have found the end of the storm! This plant has the unusual property of purifying the air. I used to grow these plants in the infirmary in my family's inn... This pine tree purifies the air that cats inhale and the bark absorbs all the mist that they exhale.
-
Precious toys
Juliette
The detective said that Madame Miyuki takes very good care of her cats. I, too, want to help the cats that have been altered by the fog. She says she needs her favorite blowfish toy to calm them down. Let's find it together.
Is that a blowfish toy? Very cute! Madame Miyuki told me that Foggy Kitten had been homesick for a while because she could not get used to being in a cat café. At that time, the kitten had a soft blowfish toy all to herself and played with it. I'm sure this will help the kitten calm down.
-
A powerful blow
Bao
To protect the city and its people from the coming of the monsters that emerge from the mists, you should collect the most effective fighting equipment described in the ancient Chinese books. With these, you will not be defeated! Find the triple crossbow in a hurry.
The triple crossbow is first mentioned in a book called the Wujing Soumu (Compendium of the Martial Arts). It can damage large objects with a single extreme blow. It will protect us even if monsters attack us.
-
Elegant Protection
Madame Miyuki
By removing the fog from the cat, you can save the cat from possible harm caused by exposure to the dangerous fog. First, move the cat to a safe and comfortable place. We have prepared a special protective box, can you bring it from the counter?
Thank you for bringing your protective box. The walls of the box, made of pine (nezumi) wood, protect the kitten from the fog that accumulates. It is always comfortable thanks to the soft bedding inside. You need to be prepared for every eventuality because you can't help this kitten if he remains anxious.
-
strategic disappearance
Detective
Not a great outfit, but still not enough to fight a ninja. I've heard that there's a hidden shuriken somewhere in the city. I bet that would help us defeat the ninjas. Help me find it.
This shuriken you found is a wonderfully burnished gem. This will come in handy fighting the ninja spirits in the "Japanese Garden.
-
Agile as lightning
Valerie
If detectives are going to fight ninjas, they need to work on their speed. But we don't have time for that. We need to find the Shuriken of Speed. You'll be as fast as lightning.
Yes, this is the "swift shuriken." The ninja used to use these all the time. Not as a weapon, but as a distraction. If you use it, you can beat the ninja spirits in the garden.
-
Monkey Technology
Martha
If you intend to defeat the ninjas of the Japanese Garden, detective, you should learn a new fighting technique. A ninja wins a fight by using the enemy's strength against him. A skilled shuriken would not only teach the detective the art of fighting, it would also give him the energy of an ancient soul. Can you help me find some shuriken?
You've found a well-crafted shuriken. Legend has it that the warrior with it was invincible. With this, detective, you should be able to hone your martial arts skills and get your hands on the garden flowers.
-
Blood Seal
Huntress
After the trial, the Countess was imprisoned. She was locked up in her own castle, and her dragon crest has been unlucky ever since. Can you help me find that crest? It should help us free Juliette from the Countess's spirit.
The Bart seal found was from a letter written to her by the countess's son. He writes that the key witnesses were executed before the trial. How unfair can a trial be?
-
Blood Ruby
Inspector
The Countess's blood-red necklace had some sort of payment promise note attached to it, you know. You'll find that necklace. It will help to dispel Juliette's nightmares. Free her from the Countess's influence.
The note on the necklace reads. The Hungarian lord owed a great debt to the countess. He launched an investigation into Bator. He started an investigation on Bator, so that he would not have to pay the debt.
-
warm bath
Juliette
So this is the bath the blood countess used. What is this liquid? Tell me it's an infusion of herbs. I'm getting goosebumps. I want her spirit to go away right away.
-
Taste of Hygge
Nicholas
There is something so familiar about the taste of Hygge that it feels a little like a celebration. It's tea with honey, almond cookies... yes, everyone in town should have a traditional drink, grog! Can you find it?
Glögg is a traditional Nordic wine-based drink. It warms both your body and your soul. Try drinking it. You'll feel the hygge right away. Cinnamon, spices, citrus peel...
-
Hygge scent
Icy
A well-chosen Hygge fragrance can calm any anxiety people may have. They put you on the right wavelength for the magic of celebrating Christmas. Find and smell the "cransekerke" of almond cake!
The "Crane Cake" is a multi-layered "wreath cake." The aroma of almonds and syrup gives a feeling of warmth and comfort. This is exactly what the residents need!
-
Hygge sensation
Nicholas
If residents are to prepare for Christmas without fear of a new threat from the "Snow Queen," they need to be surrounded by easygoing, comforting, hüge items. Can you help me find the "carved wooden reindeer?"
With this "carved wooden reindeer" toy, I think you too can understand the feeling of hygge. It's the feeling you get when you touch something that feels so good. It's something that brings back the best memories of my childhood and my life.
-
Praise the sea.
Madame Miyuki
With the detective, I also saw a cat spirit nearby, but it did not approach me. That's strange. If there is nothing to scare you, the spirit should come out. Hmmm...I think I may know why. Could you please prepare some fish to offer to the ghost?
See, ghosts are not supposed to eat, but offerings are being eaten. So what we are looking for is not a ghost but a special animal. We need to protect them before they are harmed by someone frightened!
-
Calming scent
Detective
The spirit of the cat shows no sign of coming out no matter what we do. Let's change our strategy. According to Madame Miyuki, the cats in her store love balls of matatabi...or something like that, with special herbs inside. Perhaps the cat spirits will like them too. Buddy, can you find me some matatabi balls?
That's quintessential, buddy! These matatavi balls will help attract cat spirits. The cats in the cat café are crazy about the matatavi balls, but I don't smell anything... Hey, look over there! There was a ghost right now, but it hid right away. What went wrong?
-
Perfect look
Madame Miyuki
The spirit of the kitten has yet to appear. It may not be an evil spirit that the kitten fears, but something of this world looking for the kitten's mate. To pretend to be a cat spirit, you need to be in disguise. Can you find our special obsidian masks?
You have found an obsidian mask! Look at the inlaid opal. This is a gemstone that creates an illusion. Its power strengthens the aura of my soul and makes me look like a ghost. Nope, this is no good either. Why can't the spirit of the cat come out?
-
melody of purification
Detective
According to Madame Miyuki, the cat spirits will not come out until we ensure their safety. I'm not a magician by any means, but I can't leave the kitty spirits alone. I asked the madam if there was anything else that could protect the cat spirits, and she told me about the rain wind chimes. Buddy, will you help me find one?
Is this the rain wind chime? Thanks for the help, buddy. I asked Madam Miyuki how it works. She said the water in the bell is sacred, and it dispels evil spirits. And she said the sound of the wind chime spreads the power of purification to the surrounding area. I hope this helps the cat spirits.
-
Fire Guidance
Madame Miyuki
The cat ghosts that scare the people of the city appear near the café, but the ghosts themselves are also afraid of everything. This means that they will be attacked by other ghosts, or evil spirits. If we want the cat spirit to come out, we must protect the spirit with the light of a lantern. Can you please find one?
Thank you for finding our lantern. The light of this lantern illuminates this world and the other world and keeps evil spirits away. I lit the lantern, but I don't see any cat spirits...but there are wet footprints on the stone roof of the lantern. Is it a sign of friendship?
-
Cat with a warrior's heart
Hanako
I hope that the gods will agree with me on what an excellent cat Atsuko is. Miyuki is still alive today thanks to Atsuko, who saved Miyuki from the snake with her own body. To celebrate this event, Miyuki ordered a flag-design with a cat insignia on it. Can you help me find it?
This flagellum will show Atsuko's bravery. Not all cats can communicate with people, but Atsuko offered her life to Miyuki. I hope this fact will convince the gods to bring Atsuko back to life.
-
Softer than a gentle breeze
Madame Miyuki
I will try to tell God about the beauty of Atco. Running my parents' inn was hard work. Atsuko gave me strength. If you find that girl's "comb," I will tell you about her nightly routine.
With this comb you found for me, I would groom Atsuko at night. I would be released from my busy day and Atsuko would sleep on my lap. That girl knew how to make me feel peaceful. I will talk to God about this.
-
Lady's dress
Valerie
Miyuki told me what role Atsuko played in the inn. The cat was almost like family. She even wore a stuffed senior cat. Let's find her!
Nice senior cat costume! Atsuko must have looked like a god in this. I am sure the gods will take this into consideration and give Atsuko's soul a new look!
-
Silk Ribbon
Hanako
I also help Atsuko find the material symbols of her soul. Miyuki said that Atsuko's flexibility is outstanding compared to other cats. To show this to the gods, I am going to use a toy called a "soft-bodied lizard. Can you help me find it?
You have found a soft-bodied lizard! With this toy, the gods will know that Atsuko is flexible. Miyuki's love and desire to bring her cat back to life is helping me to make my decision. Let's get Atsuko back and close the funnel for sure!
-
Animal Intelligence
Madame Miyuki
By showing the gods that Atsuko should remain in the world of the living, we save the city! Atsuko is the smartest cat I know. You can see it in the way she solves the puzzle of the ball. Let's find the puzzle together!
You have found the puzzle of the ball! Atsuko is smarter than any cat, and I'm sure God knows that!
-
warm bath
Juliette
Do the crimson baths I see in my dreams give any clues? I don't know what it is that's pooling there. Wine or infused herbs, no way... Please, find out what is in that bath and protect me from Bart's spirit.
-
The genie walks without a sound
Hanako
We need to prepare the cat café for the meeting with the eternal cat. The funnel is getting bigger and we must protect the spirits from its influence. I will place a ward at the summoning point. Can you get an artifact so that I can accumulate magical power in the warding?
All went well! As the protective wards unfolded to cover the welcoming tatami mats, the eternal cat appeared. These spirits liked our gift and gave us the artifact "Heart of Harmony"!
-
Important Place
Hanako
To meet the eternal cat, you need a special place. I asked the invisible referee and he told me about something called "welcome tatami". Would you please look for it with me?
This is the welcoming tatami... the magic canvas that encompasses the eternal magical garden. What better place to invite the eternal cat!
-
sunlight
Hanako
As a daytime cat, Shiro is careful not to let the sun get too hot. Let's give Shiro a "Hyakufu Fan". If you find it, we will tell you the detailed story.
Thank you, I will try to get a copy of the book! If White uses a hundred wind fans, he can manipulate the wind to keep the sun from getting too hot!
-
Fire Star Feathers
Valerie
I hope the eternal cat answers the call! Black is trying to keep the nights dark and not too cold. I found a section that describes an artifact fire butterfly lantern that would be useful for Black's work. Let's find it together!
This is the fire butterfly lantern! This lantern shines light and warms the owner as he wishes. If Black uses it, he can make sure no one freezes at night or gets lost!
-
entangled darkness
Valerie
What can I give to my forever cats, Kuro and Shiro, to make them happy? Hanako says Kuro weaves constellations. Maybe a golden yarn ball would make Kuro happy. Let's look for it!
Golden yarn balls are really nice! Hanako asked the invisible referee to give that yarn ball some spiritual power. I'm sure Kuro will be happy with this!
-
Old-fashioned medicine
Valerie
Madame Miyuki saved Atsuko's soul by placing it in her own body, but this time she suffered from a lack of energy. That may have made it harder for her to control her magic. Do you have a healing concoction or something?
Just as I thought. Madame Miyuki needed this healing concoction. No matter how well versed she was in magic, her body was not prepared to hold two souls. Madam Miyuki may have unwittingly created an energy funnel.

Temple of Secrets
Hanako
I understand! Cat cafes are not simply places to relax. They are built according to the rules of magical warding. Find the drawings of the cat café and I will tell you more about it.
Please see the drawing of the cat cafe you found. This building was designed to use a powerful healing talisman in its foundation. By keeping the cats, Miyuki was keeping herself alive.

Absorption of spirit
Valerie
While Miyuki was helping me find out how Atsuko was brought back to life, I read her notes and found out something. The ritual must have been difficult because it takes a lot of energy to put two souls in one body. So Miyuki started collecting cat energy talismans. Can you help me find that?
So many talismans of cat energy! Miyuki was frail and although she was able to keep Atsuko's soul in her body, she began to need more energy as the years went by. Miyuki's note said she was looking for a source of power.

Eternal Reflection
Hanako
We found out that Miyuki had not disappeared. She helped us in her cat form. Perhaps the magic of the "Mirror of Day and Night" created the funnel. Let's find that artifact and find out.
I am glad you found the mirror of day and night! The patterns on the metal represent the transition between this world and the next. Miyuki's magic was successful because energy is circulating through the mirror, but the circulation is uneven. Why is this?

Those who pass through
Hanako
The funnel that opened in the cat cafe may have something to do with Miyuki's past. She once lost her beloved cat, Atsuko, and tried to bring her life back. Perhaps the funnel was created as a result. Read Miyuki's book to find out.
Miyuki's books indicate her desire to bring her cat back to life. All of these books describe how the spirit souls travel between this world and the next, and how to guide them back to the world of the living. Miyuki may have found something here.

Happy Heart Cooking
Valerie
Miyuki must have been lonely in those mountains. I bet there were not many people her age. Even this cat looks lonely... where are you going now? He looked like he was looking for something... let me help him.
The bowl you found is obviously old, but expensive. It's so expensive that it's wrapped in silk. This must be the cat's bowl. So Miyuki has found a friend! But what does one's happiness create a funnel?
-
twilight of the soul
Hanako
Miyuki was supposed to take over the inn and lived a happy life, well-versed in accounting and magic. If so, where on earth did the funnel come from? Perhaps it was due to strong emotions. Let's look for something that might reveal Miyuki's hidden desires.
Did you find the amulet thanks to the cat? The amulet says "I sincerely hope to find a friend". This made sense to me. Miyuki lived in an inn on the mountain and had no friends. Perhaps loneliness created the funnel.

Words of Power
Valerie
If Miyuki was born into a wealthy family, why did she need an energy funnel? Was she under pressure to get married? Help me find her old teaching books.
Wow, that's a lot of books! Miyuki was not only a domestic helper, but also trained in art and magic! It's obvious that she was considered the successor. I don't know if this has anything to do with the funnel, but Miyuki also knew a lot about magic.

Hygge Intentions
Icy
Hygge is a sense of enjoyment, security, and comfort in life. You can feel it any time of the year. But this philosophy has a special style at Christmas! Look for the Christmas Dwars, Nisse, in "North Pole Street." It will tell you everything you need to know.
Except at Christmas, we find hügge in the snowy scene in the window or in the candlelight. But at Christmas, we look to the lovely doll of the gnome, the guardian of the fireplace and the gnome of the feast!

More Grave Cases
Detective
The official number of Countess Bart's victims is estimated at 80. But some say there were more. Let's find out if that's true. We need to get Julie out of that killer's nightmare as soon as possible.
The Countess's case was discovered when a number of new gravesites were found in the cemetery. Look, a gravestone with a cross suddenly appeared. That's a clue.

Under a protective roof
Hanako
We know very little about Miyuki except that she was born into a wealthy family that owned an inn. We need more information. Are there any toys from her childhood around here? Please help us find them.
You found Miyuki's old toys! There is a reason why I asked you to look for them. Miyuki's parents must have wished her happiness and either had a craftsman make her first toys for her, or made them themselves. These dolls and flutes are simple things, and they were probably made by her parents.

Past Summits
Valerie
If we check out Miyuki's office, we might be able to find out what happened to her or where the energy funnel came from. Cat, can you help me? Look, this girl is staring at a painting with a mountain palace on it. Can you hand it over here?
Look at this, what is depicted in the painting is not a palace, but an inn. The title says, "Celebrating the young proprietress, Miss Miyuki, at the Kanshin Ryokan. So Madame Miyuki was a wealthy heiress. But what does that have to do with the funnel?
-
Concealing Technology
Valerie
I assumed the funnel was made by Miyuki, but there were no dangerous artifacts in the cat cafe. Wait a minute...I think I hear a meow coming from behind the wall where I didn't hear it!
How did you notice that there is a hidden door hidden behind this board? I knew that old-fashioned stores had hidden passages for employees, but I had no idea about this door. I can hear the cat meowing from behind the door. Maybe the cat has found Miyuki and is asking for help.

Stone Hunters
Hanako
I have checked the cat cafe looking for Miyuki, but have yet to find the source of the funnel. Even if she was involved, I hope Ms. Valerie will not be upset. Wait, something doesn't feel right about this beckoning cat...
Do you feel warmth from this beckoning cat? This is not because of the funnel, but it is warmed by its own energy. It is made of a material called "heavenly amber," which has healing properties. Maybe Miyuki has no malicious intent.
-
slanting eyes of light
Valerie
I checked every cat cafe I could find, but Miyuki was nowhere to be found. But I did find something strange. See that ray of light crossing the room? Hanako said to be careful, so I found where the rays were coming from.
What a strange ornament! I've never seen anything like this before, but it doesn't look dangerous. Look, when you touch the mirror, the cat is chasing the reflected light. It's just a cat toy!
-
Leaves of Peace
Hanako
Hopefully Miyuki is somewhere in the cat cafe and can help us understand the origin of the funnel. But what if she was the cause? We need to make sure there are no dangerous artifacts here. I found a jar of herbs near the counter...let's check it out.
Thank you for examining the jar of herbs. Magicians sometimes use herbs to accumulate evil energy. But here we only have tea and catmint... It is strange that Miyuki would entertain guests and cats if she wanted to cause a disaster.
-
knotted together
Valerie
I want to believe that Miyuki has nothing to do with the energy funnel. Because she's helping animals...and Hanako said she's going to check everywhere. Take a look at this bunch of unusual herbs here.
It was just a toad. At first I thought it was a magic herb. Miyuki must have decorated the toad with ribbons. But where is she?
-
eye of a storm
Hanako
What Valerie said is partially correct. I can still sense the energy gathering in the cat cafe, but the energy is in strange harmony. The paper decorations aren't moving and the cats are playing innocently. It would be safe to enter.
Is this a cat cafe? Inside these walls is serenity itself, but the energy inside continues to grow. It is obvious that this restaurant has been waiting for customers. Lots of food has been prepared, and the basket is full of cat toys. But where is the owner, Muki?

Last Letter
Martha
Juliette's dream seems to have been sent from the unquiet soul of the Blood Countess. Maybe the Chamber of Secrets can uncover the truth of her story and tell us if it really was her doing. Gather evidence pertaining to the Countess. If you do, you will be able to free Juliette from the influence of the spirit.
This wounded pigeon flew through the window of Countess Bert's castle. The letter says "...you never know what will happen next." I wonder if it was the victim who wrote this?

Taste of Orange
Isabelle
If you're looking for the cause of the mistress's ailment, you're looking in the wrong place. No one seriously thinks that Julie poisoned her. There is nothing poisonous or magical in this refreshing drink. The last thing the mistress drank was orangeade. That's what you're looking for.
Like all the drinks I've ever had, there's nothing poisonous or cursed about orangeade. It just tastes a little less good. Wait, I'm curious about something...
-
validation test
Inspector
The mistress would still not eat and would blame Juliette, saying that she had tried to poison her. But I couldn't find any poison in the drink Juliette brought. A confirmatory test is needed. Look for pumpkin juice.
There is nothing poisonous in the mistress's pumpkin juice. Let's take a sip. Don't worry! I don't feel any poison, but it tastes kind of... plastic. Actually, I don't like pumpkin.
-
Strong Taste
Mistress
Juliette must have been trying to slowly poison me with a strong tasting drink. A truly experienced poisoner...how dare she completely hide the bitterness of the poison. Find some grape juice and see for yourself.
Grape juice hides even the taste of arsenic! Take a sip and see for yourself. Keep the bottle away from me, oh...
-
Lively acidity
Juliette
I wish I didn't believe these lies! My landlady may have had some bad experiences with me, but she would never poison me! All her food was fresh, you know. Like that wonderful lemonade, for example. Can you find it for me?
This lemonade looks like it was made right now with fresh squeezed lemons. How could it be poisoned? But it was the same a few days ago. How is that possible?
-
Deep red drink
Detective
Did she tell you about Juliette trying to kill the mistress? Julie is not the kind of person who would do such a thing! But there is one fact that no one can deny. The mistress is indeed pale, almost too pale to eat. Let's find out why and clear Julie's name. You saw the mistress drinking a pomegranate drink. Maybe that's the reason? Find me the glass bottle that contained the fruit drink.
The city has been incredibly hot lately and the hostess wanted to refresh herself with a pomegranate drink. Did you see Julie bring the drink from the Italianate patio? That's interesting.

shadowy past
Mr. Black
What we have is the testimony of the well-to-do father that his daughter's poor fiancée is the culprit. Apparently, the story has changed! What evidence do we have to show if the theft really happened in the first place? The thieves' picking tools were found in the victim's yard, so help us examine them. This is going to be the tour de force that decides where the case goes!
Thanks for helping me inspect the picking tool! I inspected them under ultraviolet light and found no evidence that these have ever been used. Not a scratch on it. But then how could the picking tool and lamp have been at the crime scene? Perhaps someone must have planted them at the crime scene without paying attention to the details.
-
First Suspicion
Juliette
Soon we can start making the mistress's brooch. Look for the Buchner funnel. You'll need it when you have something to filter.
I'm starting to feel like I'm trying to make something more complicated than a brooch. But now that you've brought me the last item, we'll soon see what we can do with it.
-
food for thought
Juliette
I was in too much of a hurry to carry out my mistress's instructions. I tried to pour the molten metal into the brooch mold, but in my haste I touched the hot pot directly. I burned my fingers. Please find me a pot with a handle. It's the only way to avoid burns.
You are safe in this pot, dear friend! Now I don't have to worry about you getting hurt.
-
New Challenge
Juliette
The mistress's brooch will be very unique. It will be made of black gold, a sulfide alloy of silver, lead, and copper, ground to a powder if you believe in 15th century recipes. Look for "pestle and mortar," dear friend.
A pestle and mortar! Thank you, dear friend. The mistress will be pleased. Actually, what we are using is the technique of the ancient Italian jewelers.
