Family Pride
Hanako
I have learned something from Naoko's story. One of Tetsuo-san's strongest emotions is a sense of justice. Naoko-san was afraid that her uncle would throw away Tetsuo's precious belongings, so she brought them here. Among them was an ornament that looked like the handle of a sword. Look, look at this.
What a beautiful decoration! This is a sword that belonged to Tetsuo's grandfather, who was a famous samurai. He sold the sword after the war, but kept this decoration. Tetsuo's sense of justice was inherited from his grandfather. Let's unleash that feeling from the lantern!
-
Stem and Metal
Naoko
If Tetsuo unleashes his strongest emotions from the lantern, others will follow. Throughout his life, he has been motivated by the desire to help others. And he is very brave. Please look for Tetsuo's straw helmet. It must have been mixed in with my belongings, but I just can't find it. I will tell you the details later.
You have found your helmet! Tetsuo has had courage and compassion since he was a child. One day, he saved a neighbor girl from the wolves and she gave him a straw helmet amulet in return. With its help, Tetsuo should be able to unleash his courage and compassion!
-
Animals that eat nightmares
Naoko
The best way to unleash Tetsuo's emotions is to have his strongest emotions pull the other emotions along with them. The first step is gentleness. When I told Tetsuo about my nightmares, he was very kind to me. He gave me a baku netsuke as a good luck charm. Check it out.
This small statue is an image of a tapir, which is said to eat nightmares. When Tetsuo was a child, he suffered from nightmares. However, as soon as a friend gave him this netsuke, he stopped having nightmares. When he heard about my nightmares, he immediately gave me this. With this baku netsuke, I should be able to rely on Tetsuo's kindness.
-
Particles of Life
Ryu
According to Naoko, the spells performed by her uncle are very evil. He would have been able to separate Tetsuo's soul from his body. However, it is said that the soul still retains a spark of life even after being enchanted. To see if this is true, let us look for such a radiance in the surrounding objects.
Look at the glow of this snail's shell! When the soul was separated from the body by the evil ritual, this snail must have been nearby to absorb the spark of life. It seems certain that this terrible ritual was performed on Tetsuo's soul.
-
Medicines for Anger
Hanako
The female hunter must have been possessed by a spirit that had been trapped for a long time in a dark and cramped box. It is clear why the dog god attacked her. She must have been trapped for centuries, growing angry and hungry. Let's put this to good use. Do you have any taiyaki?
So you found a taiyaki! Let's hope Inugami doesn't notice the fish shape. I am going to use this as a kind of trap. The hungry Inugami will bite into the Taiyaki. And he will calm down a little. The sugar in taiyaki has a calming effect.
-
Energy Explosion
Hanako
We must find out why Naoko's mind pointed to the lantern in the example. Did you notice the multiple footprints around the lantern? At first I thought they were just dust, but upon closer inspection, they appear to be some kind of powder. Can you help me put them in this gourd canteen?
Watch out! Do you see the powder in the water bottle glowing with sparks? This is a magically charged gunpowder called Shimose, which can cause an explosion so powerful that it knocks the soul out of the body. Did someone use this against Tetsuo?
-
Tools of capture
Naoko
I see traces of a spell around the lanterns associated with Tetsuo. I hope he is not in danger...in fact, when I was examining the lantern, I thought the little guy suddenly barked at something on the floor and threw it away! Maybe it is something important. Please look for it.
It's called...a sign of restraint! My uncle showed me this many years ago. He said that in order to capture an enemy, you use this to restrain their shadow. Did Tetsuo get caught by this too? What kind of relationship does this have with the lanterns my heart has shown me?
-
The Weight of Fear
Ryu
Are the lanterns that Naoko's mind pointed to really made by a witchdoctor? I too think it is very likely. There seems to be a mysterious force at work in this place. Moreover, this lantern is hung with energy weights. Look at this. Let me tell you an interesting story.
This weight burns my hands, but is harmless to the demon. Come closer and listen to the terrifying sound emanating from it. This weight is made from the fear held by those who have trapped their energy in this lantern.
-
The Curse Evoked
Hanako
The lantern that Naoko's mind pointed to is definitely related to Tetsuo, but in what way is not yet clear. I see that there is a piece of cotton caught in the ceiling board from which the lantern is hung. I have a rough guess as to what that means, but I just can't reach it, so could you please take it off?
This cotton is sprayed with the same paint used on spirit lanterns. Cotton wicks like this one are sometimes used in curse rituals. While the wick is burning, a spell is cast. This lantern was probably made by a witchdoctor. It is quite possible that it was Naoko's uncle!
-
All source
Isabelle
Maybe you don't feel anything, but your aura was completely transparent when the guide saw you with his "imagination." Time is running out! The base of this potion is the butterfly carrot. Find the biggest one you can.
Buttercup carrots are shaped like people, don't you agree? In ancient times, this was mistaken for a mandrake, and the consequences were terrible. But we don't make mistakes like that!
-
The Flower of Salvation
Isabelle
You're not hallucinating yet? Really? Keep it that way. We need to keep looking for the next one. According to the prescription, we have Maria thistle. This flower has essential oils in it, and with that, we can mix smoothness and consistency.
Just look at it! What a strange flower! Maria thistle looks like a useless weed, but it actually has medicinal properties.
-
The Ultimate Choice
Ludwig
I met Shaad when she was looking for a way to keep her young figure. I suggested a way to her...but this is not something that can be explained in words. I want you to bring me a jug filled with a special drink. Then I will show you how I helped her.
To keep the shard young, I gave her that drink mixed with my blood. Then I bit her...she became a vampire.
-
Ruthless Gifts
Shaad
The man I loved pointed out that I was getting older as the years went by...he didn't like older women. One day he gave me a perpetual calendar. To remind me that our happy days are limited. If you find it, I will tell you how the story ends.
By giving me this calendar, that man wanted to tell me to enjoy at best the few remaining days we had together. I was shocked, but this was actually the beginning of a new story.
-
Ultimate Care
Valerie
So Shaad left her family for someone she loved. But that person only loved her for her looks. She washed herself with water laced with pearls to keep her skin glowing. I wonder if she still continues to do that? Let's look for the Shard's pearls.
To keep their skin beautiful and glowing, women of old washed their bodies with water laced with pearls. What you found is the water that the shard actually uses. It seems they still follow the same method.
-
Sacrifice in the name of love
Shaad
The full moon reminds me of the last night I spent in my hometown... a night when the moon shone as brightly as it does tonight. I fled my home in the moonlight. All I had with me was a box with the family crest engraved on it. Would you like to know what was inside? Then find the box first!
The crest on the lid reminds me of what I lost to be with my loved one... yes, this box is empty.
-
Awakened Inugami
Hanako
Before we can perform the ritual to exorcise the Inugami, we need to know where it came from. Many ancient spirits and deities dwell in Japanese houses with lanterns, but they are all very friendly! Is there anything that emits malevolence that has fallen somewhere? We must find out the source of this curse.
There is a reason this old lock with the dog bite marks caught your eye...it probably came from the box over there. I think Inugami was locked in that box a long time ago. The female hunter must have released it.
-
Leaf Teeth
Isabelle
How are you feeling? Are there any spots swimming in front of you? Phew, so we haven't started yet. There's still time to mix up a potion. I dried some rosehips. But I need aloe vera for its healing properties. Can you go find some?
You brought aloe? Very nice. I just backed it up for the first concoction. Be careful. These little spikes are like teeth, how sharp!
-
sour taste
Isabelle
Hopefully this medicine will cure your eternal trauma. The base of the medicine needs vitamins first. Lemon won't do. It has to be rosehips. But hurry, no one knows when the effects of the disease will manifest. Maybe tomorrow...
Aren't they beautiful? But don't eat them. The sourness of the rosehips will make your lips pursed as soon as you eat them. Wait until the potion is prepared.
-
preface
Salem
If you want the Watchman on your side, you should give him a gift, they say. The Shard remains in town at the behest of the Wild Hunt, which wants the traditions of Samhain to be preserved. A night with a full moon is a good time for conversation. Shard tells me about how much he loved the man to whom he was engaged when he was young. He even ordered a pair of portraits from a jeweler. I'd love to see them, can you help me find them?
What a beautiful portrait! Look, the male portrait is much larger. That's how big he was to the woman he was in love with.
-
Sign of Wandering
Ryu
Once the "knot of the spell" is untied, Naoko's heart will tell her where Tetsuo is. She has wandered for a long time in search of her loved one, but it seems that the spring rains have erased her footsteps leading to the sea. Let's collect seashells from the seashore that contain the memories of her painful journey.
Naoko has continued to fight with Tetsuo for love despite the ordeal. A wandering symbol made of shells and pebbles would help her remember that for a long time. Even more so if she never gives up even in a situation like this.
-
paper animal
Naoko
Only the vivid memories of my loved ones can untie the "spell-binding knots" that bind the emotions of my heart, but I cannot recall them without your help! I was going to show you my amulet, but I seem to have dropped it somewhere. Please find it before that origami moussavi gets wet in the rain!
I see that you found the origami musasabi! This reminds me of the time when I took a walk in the forest with Tetsuo without anyone's knowledge. We found this kind of flying squirrel in a thicket. I was so happy and my heart was pounding! I felt such a feeling every time I met Tetsuo-san.
-
Wings of Love
Naoko
My mind is still bound by the "knot of spells". All that remains is a faint echo of emotions... Could I release the emotions of my heart by evoking memorable tastes and smells? Will you join me in making my favorite dessert?
Thanks to you, we were able to make yokan in the shape of a heron. The heron is called the bird that protects love, and yokan, which can be preserved for a long time, is considered a symbol of longevity. The first time I tasted this delicious treat was when I went for a walk with Tetsuo. The taste of yokan is the taste of happiness for me.
-
The Secret Word
Hanako
To free Naoko's mind, we need to call upon the memories of Tetsuo that lie deep within her. If you look closely at this brave woman, you can see what looks like charcoal marks on a hairpin. I examined it and...voila! Can you guess where this charcoal came from?
Do you see the charcoal on the end of the hairpin? One day, her uncle took her brush and inkwell so that Naoko could not contact Tetsuo. But she had strong feelings for Tetsuo, so she started to use the hairpin and charcoal to write letters to her boyfriend.
-
A Brief Eternity
Naoko
According to Mr. Ryu, in order to untie the "knot of the spell," I need to appeal to my strong feelings for Tetsuo. When I think of him, I am reminded of the fleeting nature of happy times. It is as unreliable as the petals of a swaying cherry blossom. Would you please collect some petals?
I put the petals that you collected into the sphere that Mr. Ryu gave me. When I hold it in my hand, you see, a memory comes back to me. It was the memory of the night I went cherry blossom viewing with Tetsuo. We only took a walk together for a few hours, but...oh, how I wish that happy time could last forever!
-
person who guards something (e.g. a doll)
Naoko
Even though my uncle objected, Tetsuo and I did not stop seeing each other. But I was worried that my uncle, who was a witchdoctor, might harm my beloved. So I gave Tetsuo a monkey-bo amulet. I am sure it was around here somewhere...please look for it with me!
The fact that the Sarubobo amulet was found means that Tetsuo was definitely here! But this amulet is in tatters...I have a bad feeling about this...I guess he got tired of being repeatedly begged to acknowledge their relationship. The uncle finally declared that he would make Tetsuo disappear. That night, his men put Tetsuo in a wheelbarrow and took him away!
-
Strategies for secret meetings
Naoko
As time passed, our feelings grew stronger and stronger. One day, however, my uncle found out about our relationship. He was furious! After that day, we were not allowed to see Tetsuo at all, but we came up with a loophole. There are clogs with animal footprints on them. Please give it here.
These clogs with footprints were a strange idea on my part! Tetsuo would wear these clogs when he passed through the garden to get to the secret meeting place. Then, thanks to the protrusion in the shape of animal footprints, there would be no trace of his passage, so his uncle would not know about the secret meeting. We even got to watch the sunrise together a few times.
-
A Star in the Palm of Your Hand
Naoko
Sorry for the long story. Are you bored? The first time I met up with Tetsuo was by the old pond. There were lots of fireflies that night and he showed me how to catch them. Come on, let's catch some of them. I'll tell you why later.
Thank you for catching fireflies with me! Even in a bottle, they glow dazzlingly like summer stars. According to legend, the light of a firefly has the power to break curses. When Tetsuo found out that my uncle was using a bad spell, he wanted to protect me at all costs.
-
The Sound of Encounter
Naoko
My life changed when I met and fell in love with Tetsuo. He was a mercenary and once saved my uncle's life. Somewhere around here, a sound arrow must have fallen. It is the artifact related to our meeting. Find it. I will tell you what happened.
These sound-producing arrows are intended to test the skill of the archer. The better the skill of the archer, the louder this arrow will fly. I went to see the archer who made the arrow fly with an incredibly loud sound, and it was Tetsuo-san. When our eyes met, we instantly fell in love.
-
Secrets of Success
Naoko
This place is not easy to find. You said you were led here by a lantern? I was brought here by this dog. If someone happened to find this place and spend the night, it would disappear with the building at dawn. Do you see the markings on that cursed stone?
The markings on this stone belong to my uncle. He is a spellcaster. When I was a child, I heard a story about my uncle who sold his mercenary soul to evil forces in exchange for wealth and success. I did not believe it at first, but one day I saw him performing a cursing ritual.
-
dark silhouette
Ryu
As we moved even closer to the building in the bamboo grove, this time the new lanterns were lit. You can see a bamboo fountain at the entrance. Grass is growing between the stones laid out on the path. Is this a dangerous place? We have no choice but to go in, one way or the other!
A lot of magic is at work here. The symbols engraved on the altar glow, and the higgledy-piggledy birds chirp as if to accompany a magical melody. You see a shadowy figure flickering and flashing behind an impulse. That silhouette standing surrounded by lanterns...it looks like a woman!
-
Silver light
Hanako
So you actually help the carp escape the darkness to prevent the prophecy I dreamed about from happening in reality? It's a bit unusual, but I think it's a smart approach. Let's give it a try right away. At the beginning of the dream, I use the reflection of the moonlight to show the carp the way. Could you help me find it?
This sacred container is filled with reflections of moonlight. It is no coincidence that today is the 15th day of the cycle to see the brightest full moon. Now, let's shine this light on the water...and lo and behold, the carp from my dream has appeared. So the prophecy was true!
-
smooth water and splashing water
Cardsharp
I hear it all the time...rainbows form where the leprechauns have hidden their treasures. The gold is buried where the rainbow bridge meets the ground. You make a rainbow by shining sunlight on the sprayed water spray. All that remains is the spray nozzle. Can you go find it?
Now you have everything you need. Let's put the spray nozzle on the ground and connect it to the hose we pulled from the container with the pump. Oh, shoot. I forgot the most important thing...we need water. Now all we need is water and we'll have our reserves!
-
To dig or not to dig?
Cardsharp
There is something I haven't told you about the Leprechauns' treasure. You never know who is listening in this town. But it's about time. To dig for the treasure, we need a golden shovel. Because digging up buried treasure underground can be a painstaking job.
I have never seen a shovel like this before! Leprechauns have a habit of burying their treasures in the ground, but with this shovel, it's no problem.
-
Gift from the Sea
Detective
Hey buddy, I'm working on a ghost-related case and I need some magic emerald seaweed powder. I mean, if you sprinkle the powder on an item that has been touched by a ghost, it will cause the ghost's aura to appear. I hear you've been finding all kinds of magic potions and ingredients lately. I hear you're doing well. How about you help me find some of that seaweed?
A bottle with magic seaweed in it? Thanks, my good friend! I'll powder it up and continue my investigation. Hopefully the traces of the ghosts that have appeared will help me solve the case.
-
Reflects light
Cardsharp
Rainbows are seldom seen because the sun is usually hidden when it rains, so if it works that well, you won't have much trouble. So all we need is a big reflector. That's a piece of cake for you, isn't it? You use it to reflect the sun's rays, and you get a rainbow.
The surface of this reflector shines and reflects well! So, I'm assigning you to operate this reflector. This is a very important mission to find the treasures of the Leprechauns, so please do me a favor.
-
Fragrance antidote
Valerie
Help me! I bought some perfume at a troll market. They told me it was enough to make everyone fall over in surprise. But when I sprinkle it on myself, everyone around me is fainting, and I can't get it off! Isabelle says the only way is to wash it off with moon water. Can you please go find me a bottle of it?
Did you find the moon water? Yay! You're my hero! Now I have to go home and wash off this awful perfume. Don't get too close and smell it. I'll have to stop buying from those trolls!
-
water pump
Cardsharp
The road to leprechaun treasures is steeper than I thought. You can't make a rainbow happen with just a hose. You need a container with a pump to store water.
This is..! You've found something amazing. Maybe it's too powerful for what I thought it was. What does that mean? It makes rain, it makes rainbows, it finds treasures in the leprechauns... that's what it's for!
-
Praise for
Angelique
It is clear that the ventriloquist is performing a raft of tricks, but the full story needs to be revealed in order to determine what kind of person she is. It is difficult to make a lot of money in a circus, and although this performer's trailer is lively, it also appears poor. For all that, there was an expensive statue on the shelf. Go find it.
It is rare. There is something engraved on the back of the statue. The award reads, "To the most artistic duet." But ventriloquists perform alone, and she has only recently joined the circus! Is the dummy doll her duet partner, or is some other secret about to be revealed?
-
Other People's Voices
Kira Woodville
During the performance, Angelique was analyzing the voices of the ventriloquist and the dummy doll and was convinced that the dummy doll's voice was different from that of the ventriloquist. It would be better to find the head parts of the dummy doll and examine its vocal structure.
See, this dummy doll's spare head has a built-in speaker. Apparently, the ventriloquist is deceiving the audience, and the doll's voice is not being produced by her. But looking at the design of this speaker, it seems to be a voice altering device, not a playback device. Why on earth is this?
-
Circus Tricks
Kira Woodville
Angelique suspects that the ventriloquist's dummy doll is the work of a puppeteer. During the performance, I also noticed something odd. Go find the circus stool on which the dummy puppet was sitting. I will explain then.
You found a circus stool on which a ventriloquist's dummy doll was sitting. Look, this chair has no support. How on earth could the dummy sit in the chair as if it were alive? I can't rule out the possibility that this is a circus parfumer trick.
-
empty hand
Angelique
We don't have much time, so let's continue our investigation of the ventriloquist's trailer and find out if the dummy doll was made by the puppeteer. It is a good idea to look at the dummy's spare parts. If the doll is of simple construction, it will not have a complicated mechanism. Can you find any?
So you found a dummy doll hand. Oh well...this is not a hand, but appears to be just a glove with a jointed joint. I have never seen something like this used in mannequin production! There doesn't seem to be any mechanism on the inside...am I missing something?
-
Doubtful Pottery
Kira Woodville
Let's see if the ventriloquist's dummy is the work of a puppeteer. While the ventriloquist is away, I'll check inside her trailer. I'm sure she keeps her dolls in these boxes. On the table next to it are two unusual cups. Let's examine one of them.
It looks like someone was drinking something from this cup. Next to it, there is a little tea left in the same cup. Cutlery and plates for two as well. There are also two pillows and two towels...odd, since the ventriloquist is supposed to live alone. One could assume that the cups were for visitors, but otherwise it doesn't add up.
-
Drinks that induce drowsiness
Sophia
I could have spent a whole day here with just one cup of coffee. I also ordered several cakes. What was I thinking? If I ate that much sweet food, I would be out of shape. Could it be something in the drinks? Let's check the coffee pot on my table. It's still there.
Thanks for taking the coffee pot. I carry this powder with me at all times in case some overzealous fan might try to put me to sleep and kidnap me. If your drink has alcohol in it, it will change color when you mix this powder. Let's mix a little with the rest of the coffee...no change. Then the drink seems to be different.
-
Formerly an evil scheme
Kira Woodville
Customers who visit this cafe lose their sense of time and stay for a long time. There must be a reason. Perhaps there is a secret in the spices used in the food? The owner had previously conducted a dangerous experiment similar to this one. Let's examine the spices left on the plate of leftover food!
We carefully examined all the plates they brought us and sent the remaining spices to Villa Light for analysis. They found nothing suspicious that would cause anomalies in time.
-
Hose for watering
Cardsharp
An ordinary hose. But rainbows appear when the sun shines through the rain. Can you find a hose for watering? This is the first step toward the treasure.
Great job as always, partner. The perfect hose to make it rain. Now, we are one step closer to leprechaun gold!
-
swarm of bees
Isabelle
There is an interesting legend in India about a bee goddess named Brahmari. Anything that belongs to this goddess should give my bee amulet the energy and blessings of the goddess. The more we search, the quicker we will find relics of the Brahmari!
I can't believe I found a bracelet of the bee goddess Bramali in the city. I heard that Bramali was called the queen of bees because she herself transformed into a swarm of bees to fight against a demon who abhorred the gods.
-
cycle of life
Isabelle
It seems the Celts had a more interesting relationship with bees. If I can find their bee symbol, my amulet will be much more powerful. I know what I need! I just need you to find me a beehive-shaped Celtic staff.
This Celtic staff is a symbol of the goddess Nantosuerta, the patron saint of the earth, fertility, and fertility. The Celts believed that the bee was the incarnation of the soul after death and divined the future from its flight.
-
Red material
Isabelle
I need your help again. I'm not very good at making potions. But I want to master this art. It's all about picking a good formula. I saw Martha make a decoction for a potion once. That's when I decided I would make something like that. I need coral extract. But I don't know where to find it. Maybe you can help me find it.
You found the coral extract! Thank you! Now I can complete the potion based on Martha's prescription. I hope one day I will be able to make potions as wonderful as Martha...I don't always get along with that spiritualist, but there is no denying my skill as a medicine man.
-
All roads lead to...
Kira Woodville
Do you think the thief came here from Lower City? If so, that would explain their sudden appearance. It's no use talking in your imagination. Let's find out how the animal got here. Let's look for things that might have led the animals here!
Did you find this guiding compass from the thief's hiding place? You also have maps of Lower City and Upper City. Look, there are footprints at the entrance to the dungeon in Lower City on the map. It seems this animal is smarter than you think!
-
Surprising Findings
Kira Woodville
Frankly, I think the animals we are chasing are...too wonderful. Could it be, by any chance, a creature from the depths of the fog? Let's see if we can find some answers in the stolen items brought here. What is that shining thing over there? Is it a badge of some kind? Pick it up.
No way. This badge belongs to a guide I met there when I went to Lower City by airship. You can only get to that area safely from the air. How did this badge get into the hands of this animal?
-
Safe Shelter
Kira Woodville
The culprit feeds on crystals, and his feet are covered in moonstone pollen... don't you think this is the animal told about in old urban legends? Let's look for other objects stolen by citizens. You may find more new traces. I think I see a silk hat in the hollow there!
You were lucky to find the thief's nest! It looks like they built their nest inside a stolen silk hat. There are a few things that citizens have stolen...oh. I have never seen feathers like these before. Apparently, the animals that live in this cave have fluorescent feathers.
-
Throne of the Lord of the Dungeons
Kira Woodville
The thief we are after is probably a harmless creature. But we want to be sure that the creature is really one of the legendary creatures of the area. An elderly couple told us that an unidentified animal stole their comfortable armchair! You might be able to find it somewhere in one of the caves around here.
You found an old couple's stolen armchair. Hmmm... covered in cave moss... someone must have refurbished this chair for their own use. Take a look. The footprints on the seat are glistening with moonstone pollen. No ordinary animal can leave footprints like these!
-
strange occurrence
Kira Woodville
Could the unidentified thief be the mysterious creature spoken of in urban legends, the master of the dungeon? A woman who was the victim of a theft said the culprit stole a basket full of bread. Look for it in the mine!
So you found the stolen bread basket! The funny thing is, the bread inside was left nearby with no signs of having been eaten. Instead, the basket is full of crystals. According to the urban legend of the dungeon lord, they feed only on stones. Apparently, the culprit is in the vicinity.
-
thousands of colors
Kira Woodville
We were able to find a few indirect clues in the café, but none of the items had a very strong impact. So why on earth would people lose their sense of time in this place? Oh, this coaster is a sight for sore eyes. Wait a minute! Let's check this out. Collect all the sparkling coasters.
Thank you for finding these coasters. These are made of pieces of pearl and look like a kaleidoscope. It's as if you can see some kind of image. The coasters are not the kind of thing that directly influence people, but when you see them, you will not be able to take your eyes off of them for a while, and you will be in a daze.
-
hypnotic music
Sophia
There is no doubt that the café has brought an anomaly to our sense of time! Because it is impossible for all the customers to lose track of time at the same time! Could it be because of the music? Music can manipulate the brain! Let's find out what instrument is playing here that produces the mesmerizing tones.
Look at this charming instrument! It reminds me of the rhubarb, the companion of the Arab poet. But this one seems to be made of moonstone. The sound echoes eerily in my head. I don't think this affected my sense of time, but there is definitely something hypnotic about this instrument.
-
Surrounded by fragrance
Kira Woodville
So far, we have found no evidence that the cafe owner is holding customers back, but there is definitely something going on behind the scenes! There are more cunning ways to fool people. One way is to use special herbal scents. Find the source of the cafe's aroma and find out more about it!
The shining aroma lamp you found for me is a vessel in which I can burn special incense that burns like a sparkler. I bought the same one in the market and there is nothing suspicious about it. But the sparkler-like light may make you forget yourself for a while.
-
The symbol of the cunning fox.
Alford Stone
We are about to find out where the rats came from that haunt the market and the cafe that was hardest hit. Judging from the situation, I decided that the competition was suspicious, so I paid a visit to his restaurant. And guess what I found there? Look at this king mouse doll. I'll tell you the rest of the story.
This king rat doll is an extremely valuable item! With it, it acts like a talisman to be given away from the rats. The owner must have protected his store from the rats and released the rats towards other cafes. That's cunning. But what should we do with this swarm of rats?
-
Dishonest restaurant owner
Alford Stone
Is it possible that the restaurant owner was involved in the events that led to the mass rat infestation of the café and the entire market? Assuming the motive was a competitive spirit, we have no evidence whatsoever. By the way, it appears that someone dropped off a small cheese-shaped toy. Would you mind checking it out with me?
Just as I thought! I'm training with this cheese. The restaurant owner tried to manipulate the rats into attacking his competitor's cafe, but he failed and the rats must have spread throughout the market! But if that's the case, why wouldn't they attack the owner's restaurant?
-
tangled thread
Fabien Delamode
I was having my afternoon snack at the cafe when the rats came out. I lost my appetite! Besides, the biggest rat was carrying my artwork. It's an embroidered pot grabber. I can't stand the thought of my work being brought into a rat's nest! Please, please find them!
Thanks for finding the pot grabber! I made them a week ago for a house in a wealthy neighborhood. BTW, that homeowner had some not so nice things to say about the cafes in the market. He was upset that the foodies were crowding into that "rat's nest" and he didn't like it!
-
Relying on sound
Alford Stone
Something I noticed while investigating the cause of the rat infestation in the marketplace and more prominently in the cafes. Listen carefully. There is a funny sound of bells coming from the area where the rats are. This sound is very suspicious. Let's find out where it's coming from!
That bell seems to be making a noise that is making the rats uncomfortable, and there are so many of them here. Someone tied these to the rats' tails to make them more aggressive and harder to get rid of.

Clever bait
Alford Stone
As soon as we arrived at the cafe, a swarm of rats scattered and ran at our feet! What on earth could have attracted such a swarm of rats? Let's check every corner and crevice. Maybe we can find out what attracted them.
You found darts that smell like pumpkin? Interesting. I read somewhere that rats around here are extremely susceptible to pumpkins. That's why nobody grows pumpkins around here. Even on Halloween, no one decorates with pumpkins! Where did all these darts full of pumpkin smell come from?

True Jewelry
Rayden Storke
Just one more ingredient needed to make the elixir of flight. I'm looking forward to flying! My grandmother wrote in the recipe that we need rare flower petals. Let's go look for them, shall we?
Thank God you found the container with the berries in it. I'd like to know what in the world kind of berries would allow me to fly. Hacktion! The peppercorns...let's check the recipe again. Ah yes, "Szechuan peppercorns" they say. That's exactly what I was looking for. You found it.
-
harvest from heaven
Rayden Storke
I think I'm getting used to my grandmother's code, and I know more about the secret recipe for flight than I did before. The next ingredient has to do with the heavens. My grandmother writes that it is a basket full of stars. Can we find such a thing?
I can't believe my eyes. You found a basket full of stars! But these are not celestial ones, they are octagons. I checked the decoding results and I know for sure that these are what the recipe is referring to. Octagons are known for their wonderful fragrance, but do they also have magical powers?
-
unusual flower
Rayden Storke
The secret ingredient for flight is going to be a lot of spices, but since they are following a recipe, I guess it is the right one. The next ingredient is said to be seeds of something called umbrella bouquet. I don't know what that is, but I'm sure you can find it!
Ah, you meant fennel flowers, not rain umbrellas. Then it makes sense that they are seeds. I'll add this to my list of elixirs for soaring to the heavens. To be honest, I have never heard of fennel seeds making a person fly, but I am sure my grandmother would have written this note with great conviction.
-
Put him on the boat.
Rayden Storke
I still can't believe that my grandmother made magic elixirs, but the notebook contains many strange recipes. It is difficult to decipher, but I was able to decipher the second ingredient of the flying elixir. It's a floating bud, they say. Can you find it?
This is a spicy clove tree bud! My grandmother used to assess the quality of the cloves by placing these in a boat-shaped bowl of water. The better quality ones would float with the buds up or simply sink. This is because the stems contain more essential oils.
-
Aromatic beads
Rayden Storke
Can't wait to try the elixir of flight. Did my grandmother really know how to make such a substitute? Let's gather the ingredients listed in the recipe and find out. If my decipherment is correct, the first ingredient is a necklace made of aromatic beads. It's kind of weird, but I'll look for it.
Mm, sure, this is a bark necklace, but I remember smelling this scent somewhere... yes, I remember! My grandmother used to preserve cinnamon sticks like this. Hanging on a string, like beads. I have a feeling the secret potion of flight is going to be delicious. We'll find out soon enough.
-
Strong scent
Kira Woodville
Some people turn to the power of fragrance to help them sleep better. A calming scent helps me sleep soundly and deeply. To produce so many spheres, you need a fairly good quality sleep. Look for something with a strong scent.
Yes, I was looking for something like this. This bottle is labeled "Sleeping Spirit Pepper". According to legend, a sleeping spirit puts sand in a child's eyes to put them to sleep. This pepper bottle may have a similar function. We need to identify who is using this to put them to sleep.
-
Suspicious testimony
Kira Woodville
If Mr. Wazir is right and all the countless spheres here are his own, he must have had to spend a good deal of time sleeping. I don't think this is very likely to be true, but let's check just to be sure. Is there some kind of eye mask around here? Let's look for it.
This eye mask has a pocket. You can put ice cubes in here and sleep for a long time without waking up from sleep. I counted the number of spheres here, and if I had to prepare that many, I would have to sleep all day long. But Mr. Wazir works full time at the restaurant. It is strange.
-
A crystal-clear dream
Kira Woodville
Please examine this wine cellar carefully. There is sure to be something related to Mr. Indira's disappearance. This may be where the dream spheres extracted for use in special spices are stored. Do you see the triangular box over there? Check inside. It may contain the sphere.
I knew it...this is definitely a dream sphere. And there are many similar ones in this storage room. So the pawnshop owner was right. Mr. Wazir had powdered these spheres and added them to the spices. Whose dream is this? Mr. Wazir claims that they are his, but it is hard to believe that all of these belong to him alone.
-
Secret Storage
Kira Woodville
The place where Mr. Wazir goes to get the dream sphere needed for the spice should be behind that door. It is a very unusual lock. It looks like the ones used in ancient Egyptian tombs. Don't worry about Mr. Wazir getting in the way...I gave him a little scare. Please figure out how to open the door before he comes back!
I am glad I found the key. It is a strange design, but it fits perfectly in the keyhole. Now, let's open the door! Just as I thought. This wasn't a pantry, but a secret passageway! Take a flashlight. There's going to be a lot of interesting things in here. I'm sure it will lead us to the missing Indira.
-
Quirky landmarks
Kira Woodville
The owner of the pawnshop told me. He said that Mr. Wazir's spices are made from memory spheres that are extracted from people's minds using a special device. The problem is that the sphere can only be extracted while people are asleep. There must be a place somewhere in the restaurant where he hides it. Check behind that plant.
I knew it was just as I thought. The door was hidden behind a plant that should not be touched. This plant's flowers would fall off at the mere touch of a hand. Why would someone put such a delicate plant in such a place? Could it be because if someone tried to sneak into the pantry, they would know immediately?
-
Drink like a salad
Kira Woodville
Next, let's examine the drinks. I chose one with a name that doesn't sound very tasty. When I heard "Shrimp Cocktail," at first I thought of an appetizer with shrimp in it, but it turns out it's a drink. Remember to check the aroma, texture, and appearance before you put it in your mouth.
Couldn't put out the fire in the glass with the shrimp cocktail and couldn't taste it? What a dish! How was the texture and smell? Even if it smelled terrible, according to Mr. Wazir, this is the most popular cocktail in the restaurant.
-
fish fin
Kira Woodville
Next, let's try baked goods. Baked goods are supposed to be light, crispy, and crunchy. I ordered the fish cupcakes. To find out if the special spices that Indira mentioned really exist, let's smell them first and see what's in them before we try them.
What do you think? The smell of this smoked fish doesn't seem to go well with the buttercream icing at all... but when I tried it, I could taste the sweet fruit flavor, and the texture resembles dry oatmeal more than fluffy cake.
-
Spiky dessert
Kira Woodville
Do you like ice cream? I love ice cream and I know quite a bit about it. Take a look at this ice cream in the shape of a cactus. This is another popular item at Mr. Wazir's restaurant. This...is a real thorn. It smells like cactus itself. Are you brave enough to try it?
I was expecting a refreshing sorbet, but I guess not. This is colored ice cream hardened with the prick of a thorn. It was very tasty, but my tongue, which had been pricked by the thorns, was completely swollen.
-
The one and only taste
Kira Woodville
If, as Indira says, the secret to Wazir's cooking lies in his special spices, it is not surprising that his food is rated low on most of the five evaluation criteria. Oven-baked broccoli is a very popular dish at his restaurant, but it doesn't look very tasty. Let's take a taste.
I'm not a fan of broccoli, but it's so good that I want to eat it every day. It fails in almost every aspect, but the special spices seem to make up for it. It's a wonder that the dough covering the broccoli is so delicious, even though it's raw.
-
Jelly that will make a gourmet's heart beat faster
Kira Woodville
To determine the relationship between Morpheus' bedroom and Mr. Wazir's food, use a rating system consisting of five levels. You rate the food based on smell, texture, appearance, taste, and sound. The device stolen from the Alliance seems to have the power to affect these factors in some way. Let's start by examining the turnip jelly.
The name doesn't sound very tasty, but foodies like the unexpected! It doesn't look very appetizing...there is a whole turnip inside, and it looks raw. And yet...somehow it tastes good when you eat it. You should try it too!
-
Scent on the blade
Kira Woodville
How did Mr. Wazir, who until recently was completely useless, become a very popular chef in such a short period of time? Indira's records state that he finally succeeded in extracting a special spice from a roller knife that was in his restaurant. I guess I should look into that knife.
This knife was wrapped in Indira's anticipated new manuscript. Something good smells wafting from the blade of the knife. It is an aroma that reminds me of the food served at Mr. Wazir's restaurant. You didn't throw away the manuscript, did you? Let's read what is written there.
-
bad luck
Kira Woodville
Let's look at some more of the records that Ms. Indira left behind. She must have disappeared because she discovered a past that Mr. Wazir wanted to hide. Here is a box labeled "Mr. Wazir's Complaint File". Let's take a look inside.
You have included numerous complaints against Mr. Wazir. According to this, he has been fired from countless workplaces, not just Alliance. He has been slowed down by other chefs and has been unable to set tables or even serve food. So he was a failure after failure after failure.
-
Humiliating Past
Kira Woodville
If Wazir's recipe was so unique, why did it not become popular until now? Indira's note mentions the name of an organization called the Alliance of Researchers, made up of scientists who work in this city. It seems that Mr. Wazir used to be a full-time cook there. Moreover, Ms. Indira found an apron that he used at that time. Here, look at this!
This misshapen and stained apron undoubtedly belongs to Mr. Wazir. It is emblazoned with the logo of the Researchers' Union and his name. If Indira's note is true, this should be a humiliating item for him. Take a look at this. There is a note in the pocket of his apron. Let's read it!
-
New Recipes
Kira Woodville
I found a few pages of the manuscript of Indira's book. According to it, a new tea invented by Wazir was so delicious that she tried to recreate it...but the text after that has been erased. Let's find that tea. You may find out what Ms. Indira learned about the talented chef.
Does this teapot with weeds popping out of it really contain the tea in the example? I see...she seems to have made this tea according to the recipe, but it doesn't look good at all. That tea must have been the most popular drink in Ms. Wazir's restaurant...did Ms. Indira make it wrong?
-
technical problem
Kira Woodville
We need to find out what secrets Ms. Indira has learned about Mr. Wazir. Let's go through everything in the bistro where she set up her research headquarters. I see...she was also conducting experiments here. What is this blue fried egg?
The Komomo fried eggs were apparently experimented with by Mr. Indira. Here is the record... "Mr. Wazir seems to add cabbage juice to his fried eggs to add color. When I tried it, it produced a yolk that tasted awful and blue, unlike his dish," it says.
-
Miniature Books
Kira Woodville
If what Mr. Wazir says is true, Indira's behavior is quite strange. But I don't completely believe him. Take a look at the bistro across the street where Mr. Indira signed a lease just before his disappearance. You might find some clues there.
It looks like a clock, but it is actually a notebook. Let's take a look inside. I see that Mr. Wazir's dishes are listed. But still, it is a notebook with many marks. marks in the notebook. It seems clear that she was trying to figure out the chef's secret.
-
cream attack
Ali Vazir
I have endured Indira's foolishness for a long time. But when she stole from me, my patience ran out. I went to the storeroom to get some flour and when I returned, Indira was standing in the kitchen with my squeezer. She flew the cream at me and ran away. Please find that squeezer. I have something to show you.
Mr. Indira fled with the squeezer! I threatened to report her to the Sheriff's Department and finally got her to return it. But her real target was the small amount of cream left in the squeezer. I think she was trying to figure out the recipe by analyzing it.
-
Special equipment
Ali Vazir
Did you know that she signed a lease for the bistro across the street from her restaurant? She started renovations and for days she struggled with the old grape vines. I couldn't stand to see her and approached her to introduce her to a gardener...and that guy started stalking me! Please take those scissors over there. I will explain.
They look like plain old scissors, don't they? As you may have noticed, the sharpness has deteriorated considerably. Do you know why? These are scissors made for surveillance purposes; they are actually cameras! Mr. Indira placed these in my kitchen and recorded every single thing that was happening there!
-
Eggs with hidden surprises
Ali Vazir
The most common thing that person would ask for was a half-boiled egg. He ordered them to be boiled for as short a time as possible and always took the shells home with him when he was finished. I don't understand this behavior at all! I believe there were some shells left around here...if you can find them, I can show you what is inside.
Yes, this is it. It looks like an ordinary eggshell, right? But look here. There is a sketch of my cooking inside. That man did that without my permission! He was trying to figure out my complicated cooking techniques and steal my ideas.
-
Clever Spy
Ali Vazir
I admit that I saw Mr. Indira in the restaurant several times. I apologize for hiding it from you. She visited the restaurant posing as a customer, but her purpose was not to eat. Moreover, she brought magazines and books with holes in them. Do you know why?
Look closely at that magazine. Pretend you are reading it and peek through the open hole. She was watching me closely from there like a hunter to steal my recipe secrets. How can you say such a person is worthy of respect?
-
messy kitchen
Kira Woodville
A broken spice jar has fallen over there, and among the debris is a small meat hammer mixed in. Don't you think it's odd that such a thing would have fallen out? Let's take a moment to investigate. We are beginning to understand what Mr. Wazir was trying to hide.
It appears that this jar of spices was recently broken. It appears that Mr. Wazir did not have time to clean this up due to the fact that his store is thriving. Take a closer look at this meat hammer. See, it has Mr. Indira's imprint on it. Mr. Wazir is known for not letting people in the kitchen. So what was Mr. Indira doing here?
-
Rejected Compliments
Kira Woodville
Ms. Indira was definitely here. It is inconceivable that Mr. Wazir did not notice her or did not know who she was. So why is he keeping his mouth shut? How can we get to the truth? Wait a minute...I smell something burning! Hurry to the kitchen! Mr. Wazir is trying to burn the evidence. We have to stop him!
I managed to put out the fire! What looks like a newspaper clipping is smoldering in the cupcake mold. Although it is difficult to read what is written on it, it appears to be a review article written by Indira about a Moroccan restaurant. Upon closer inspection, the content seems favorable, but why would Mr. Wazir want to burn this?
-
Delicate aroma
Kira Woodville
I don't feel as if Indira is somewhere nearby. Is it because I can smell her perfume? It seems to be coming from the table by the window. We need conclusive evidence to find out what Mr. Wazir is hiding. Please look for it with me.
I can't believe it! This definitely belongs to the missing indira. I am sure it belongs to the missing Indira, because in the pictures she always wears this. It is said that the scent of this pendant has the ability to sharpen a person's sense of taste, allowing them to taste food more delicately.
-
A gourmet's tool of the trade
Kira Woodville
Mr. Wazir seems to know something about Ms. Indira's disappearance but for some reason is keeping his mouth shut. There must be more evidence left in the restaurant that he knew Ms. Indira. I will bring this to his attention, and in the meantime, please search the kitchen. Keep a close eye on every single spoon!
What did you find? This...is Indira's famous tasting spoon. It is inconceivable that she would have dared to leave this behind. It is a precious spoon made by Indian artisans and not easily found anywhere.
-
Small clues
Kira Woodville
Mr. Wazir became impatient as soon as I mentioned Mr. Indira's name. Let's find out why. There must be some clues here that will help us in our search. It doesn't matter how small they are. For example...how about a business card?
This business card is definitely by Indira Baker. It has a picture of a spoon that resembles a keyhole. As a critic, she must have visited many restaurants in this city and left her business card at each visit. But this is only an indirect clue. Let's look for something else.
-
Spice aroma
Kira Woodville
I can't believe I have never been to such a wonderful market! The aroma of spices and street food wafts all around. The Moroccan restaurant is the most popular spot at this market. Come on, let's go inside!
I love this restaurant myself. The atmosphere here is always cozy and cheerful, which makes this foggy city feel a little warmer. Here comes the owner. Let's talk to him about Indira's disappearance.

Sweetness of Inspiration
Isabelle
The Romans were also a people who worshipped bees and used them as motifs in their jewelry. The older the relic, the more powerful the talisman! A card scammer once told me about a Roman clasp hidden somewhere in the city. Any idea where it might be?
I see you found the bee-shaped Roman clasp. That's great! In Roman times, bees were called messengers of the goddesses. They were also a symbol of a healthy society. The structure of a beehive was said to be near perfect because each bee worked for the good of the whole.

Sands of Time
Huntress
I heard you found a potion for a card cheater and did it. I'm looking for some magic ingredients too, can you help me? I'm working on a new weapon to use against the mummies and I need a container full of the sands of time. If you could help me find it, that would be great. Can you help me find the container with the sand of time before the mummies flood the city?
It's a container with the sand of time! I needed this. Thank you for your help. Now I can finish my weapon. I don't know why, but the mummies have been moving around a lot lately. No wonder, considering the instability of the city's magical realm...
-
Pure Soul
Isabelle
To make a bee amulet full of good energy, we also need symbols of Greek mythological goddesses. According to some legends, Persephone was also associated with bees. I'll tell you more about it when you find the goddess jewelry.
What a beautiful pendant! The priestesses of Persephone, the fertility goddess, were called "bees". It was believed that their pure souls could always find their way back to the temple, so they were likened to bees that could find their way back to the hive as well, and so they were called.

game that cannot be won
Cardsharp
My dear friends, there is a reason I mentioned potions. I need one, as a matter of fact. A boggart got into my house and put a curse on my favorite deck of cards. I can't even touch it anymore! Isabelle says she can remove the curse, but it requires a sprinkling of mermaid's tears. Can you help me find a bottle of mermaid's tears?
You have searched for the vial with the mermaid's tears in it! Thank you, my friend! Now I'm off to Isabel's to exorcise the curse on my card deck. I've lost three straight poker games so far, I hope I can win again with these cards!
-
Helpers of the Sun God
Isabelle
I need bee symbols from all over the world to make a bee amulet. I'll start with the oldest and most mysterious civilizations of mankind. I need you to find the bee from the Egyptian frescoes. Please do!
The Egyptian fresco you found for me is in very good condition, and the bees are well preserved! In ancient Egypt, bees were associated with the sun. They believed that they were born from the tears of Ra, the supreme god. The Egyptians believed that the bee was the embodiment of the soul.

positive change
Valerie
I like to eat ice cream in both summer and winter, but I hear green food misses out on the good changes, so I guess I'd better hold off on the pistachio ice cream. Will you go with me to the citrus tree?
Pistachio ice cream is very cold, so be careful holding it or you'll get frostbite. And don't eat it no matter what! You don't want to miss out on your good fortune because of this ice cream.

Juliette
Oh boy, now I know I shouldn't serve green desserts to my guests. I have to bring the moss cake from the mansion. Can you help me? I don't want the hostess to see me take it out.
Thanks for helping me bring out the moss cake! It's too bad you had to take it to the citrus tree after you went through quite a bit of trouble and put a green topping on it that mimics moss.

thorn in the side of a poisoned arrow (i.e. the thorn of a lance)
Detective
Look for this area carefully. Keep an eye out for sharp objects. Your guide may have been wounded by fangs, horns, or even thorns! There are stranger things happening in the City of Shadows.
Wow! What is this plant? Is it a flycatcher? Yes, it has thorns instead of leaves and a real mouth! Careful, don't get hurt.
