sweet and bittersweet feeling
Spirit of Spring
Does Sif really want to give up her woodcarver's ability and curse to become a Drusus? In answer to that question, her mind showed me a very vivid memory of her life...this is turnip honey. It should be somewhere on this balcony. Have you seen it?
This is definitely turnip honey that has appeared in Schiff's subconscious. What this image means is that she believes she has had a generally pleasant and comfortable life so far. But honey is something that tastes bitter as you keep licking it. Sif's mind must have felt the same desire to have another experience in this world.
-
What is not allowed
Martha
In what way does the story of the first woodcarver help Sif? The woodcarver, with her gift of divination in hand, realized that what the witch had told her was a lie. She was overjoyed and went to hug her son... but then something terrible happened. Can you get me that teacup over there?
As soon as the woodcarver touched her son, lightning struck the teacup and charred it. Then she realized. She realized that she had gained so much power that she could no longer touch the people she loved.
-
merciless god
Martha
Who was it that gave the woodcarver his special powers? Angered by the witch's prophecy, the woodcarver went to the God of Fate to change her son's fate. The god of fate said nothing and gave her the gifted leaf. It may still be here.
The god of destiny told the woodcarver as he handed him this leaf. From now on, by creating wood carvings for others, he would be able to divine their future. The God of Fate knew that the woodcarver had a latent gift of divination.
-
My son's mishap
Martha
How did successive generations of woodcarvers get their abilities? According to the story of the first woodcarver, a witch seduced her son into lighting a match so she could tell his future. The witch laughed evilly when she saw her son take the broken match out of the box. I'm sure those matches are still here. Can you find it for me?
You found the match. When the son of the first woodcarver took out the broken match, the witch predicted a terrible fate awaited him. The witch, she said, was petulant and spoke gleefully of his terrible fate. The woodcarver was angry, but never despaired.
-
Meet the Witch
Martha
Listen carefully. There may be a clue hidden in the spirit's story that can help Sif. One snowy night, an old woman showed up at her cabin. She decided to let the old woman stay the night. That night, the ring that had protected her family from evil spirits cracked. Can you help me find that ring?
You found the ring of the first woodcarver. The old woman she let stay with her was actually a mountain witch. A cunning and wicked witch who enjoys tormenting people. So the ring's reaction was correct.
-
Sculptor of the mountain forest
Martha
The spirit of the first woodcarver has appeared to me. She's going to tell us how she acquired her gift of divination to help Sif. But before she can start, she needs one thing... the tool she used to use, an old woodcarving chisel. Do you have it around here somewhere?
This is definitely a tool used by the first woodcarver. She was a famous carver long ago and lived in a mountain village with her son. Her woodcarvings were very beautiful, but she never used any magic.
-
Traces of Love
Helga
Of course, we did not immediately perform the ritual to change our destiny. We knew how dangerous it could be. But my daughter's longing for a normal life only grew stronger. One day, when I saw my daughter kneading bread dough with her friends, I felt crushed. Look at this.
They both tried to use it to touch each other by putting their handprints on the bread dough. We could not allow this dangerous situation to continue. My daughter could have accidentally touched someone she cared about and hurt them.
-
friend
Helga
Sif wanted to be free to explore the outside world and begged me to change her fate to do so. Even if I had forced him to lock himself on the Easter veranda, he would have escaped. So, for the first time, I broke a woodcarver's rule. Look at this toy.
The toy belonged to a girl who lived in a seaside village. Sif became friends with the girl and spent many hours playing with her at the seaside. One day, I invited her to the Easter veranda so that she could at least be within my sight. One day I invited her to the Easter veranda so that I could at least have her in my sight.
-
Ancient Contracts
Helga
The daughter hoped to change her assigned destiny and be released from the ancient covenant that bound her. For example, the woodcarver has a promise made to the spirits of the forest. The woodcarver is allowed to use the sacred wood of the forest. Here is an amulet that symbolizes this covenant. Take a look.
According to the contract symbolized by this amulet, the tree to be used for divination is chosen by the spirits of the forest and brought to us by the woodcutter. No one is allowed to touch the sacred tree except the woodcutter. It is the most precious tree next to the World Tree.
-
Magic Traces
Helga
In order to change the future of Sif, we have decided to perform a special ritual. We must never throw away anything that has been given to us by fate, including the trash from the woodcarving process. This is because of the ancient and powerful magic involved in the woodcarving process. Speaking of trash...there should be some chi shavings on the table. Touch it. Then you will understand what I am talking about.
Can you sense a slight magic in the shavings? Wood carvings made for divination contain powerful energy. We do not give them to the other person, but burn them with the shavings while chanting a spell. Wood carvings made by wood carvers are much more dangerous and troublesome than they appear.
-
Willow wood carving work
Helga
Sif begged me to change her destiny. Master the art of wood carving and become a fortune teller...that was the destiny she had been destined for since birth. Our job is to dig out wood carvings and read the future of the other person. There must have been an unfinished wood carving around here somewhere. Let me use it to explain.
This is a wonderful, though unfinished, wood carving work! The woodcarver digs little by little, reading the future of the partner as fate leads him. Sif is a very sensitive girl. That's why she was chosen to be the next woodcarver.
-
entangled future
Martha
It seems certain that what Sif is suffering from is a magical disease related to the mind and curses, but what really happened? Unfortunately, only the least desirable way is left now. Examine the threads of her fate. Can you bring some yarn?
You found some lovely yarn. Now let's begin the ritual... just as I thought. You see how the yarn is depicting Sif's future? They are so tangled! I hope the tangled threads don't break...
-
The Gaze of an Angry God
Martha
There are all kinds of people coming to the balcony this Easter to have their fortunes read by Helga. Is it possible that one of them was offended by the content of the reading and put a curse on Sif? The lightning could have been triggered by powerful negative emotions. Let's use a magic Easter egg to see if this hypothesis is correct.
I rolled the Easter egg onto Sif's body and then broke it open. Let's take a look at it... it's hollow and white in color. If there was some evil eye or curse present in it, it would be black in color. Oh, I see feathers coming out of the Easter egg. This means that Sif's soul is unprotected and dancing in the wind like a feather.
-
cry of the heart
Martha
I was looking at the shape of the funnel made by the solar sands and I thought. I think she might have been suffering from a love affair. Love sickness can be much more serious than physical illness. I need the pendulum of love to see if this theory is correct. Can you find it for me?
Yes, I've been looking for a pendulum like this. I'm going to hang this over Sif's heart...hmmm, it doesn't move at all. So it's not love sickness that's eating away at her soul. It doesn't seem to be loneliness that is robbing her of her strength, so what could it be?
-
Goddess Breath
Martha
The human soul is very delicate and very difficult to study. It is much more complex than the body. In order to determine the cause of Sif's illness, we will need the sands of the sun. It is a gift from the sun goddess Saph. Can you help me with it?
Thanks for spreading the sun sand. It should form some kind of shape and give us a clue as to the cause of Sif's illness. Look, the sand has taken the shape of a funnel. Remember this shape. It will come in handy later.
-
root of an illness
Martha
In order for Sif to recover, we need to find out what the root of this disease that accompanies the storm is. Perhaps this disease is not only affecting her body, but her soul as well. To determine the root of the disease, we need a runic compass. Will you help me prepare it?
Thank you for preparing the runic compass with me. The runes engraved here represent the different parts of the body and layers of the soul. I will place this compass on Sifu's abdomen. The abdomen is where the energy of the body is concentrated... look, I don't see anything unusual here. So it is not her body that is being affected by the disease, but her soul.
-
Eight-legged horse
Lady
There's thunder rumbling over the balcony at Easter. This phenomenon seems to be caused by a disease that is putting Ms. Schiff to sleep. Can we save her and bring the storm to an end? Record what you find out in your journal.
-
Where Norn's singing echoes
Lady
Mr. Helga has come out and is waiting for us to arrive. I don't know why, but it makes me feel like I really want to help that person. Let's say hello to her on the Easter veranda. Look, the door is open.
Well, what a lovely place...the wood still has the warmth of the sun and the air smells of paint and tea. It's hard to believe that someone could be so ill in such a place so full of love. But Helga hasn't given up yet. She believes there must be a reason why she was brought to the city. And that we can save her.
-
Brave Defenders
Hanako
The carp will soon reach a calm stream, but the darkness that follows is speeding up, fearing defeat. In my dream I met a brave samurai protecting the carp. He stabbed and wounded Yami with his sword. A samurai doll might help. Please look for it!
I never expected to find a samurai doll so quickly. It is as if the spirits are guiding me. As soon as he chanted the awakening spell, the doll woke up and rushed into the darkness. He took a swing of his sword and...lo and behold, the cloud of darkness disappeared! Now the carp should be able to escape before the darkness reappears.
-
defensive shield
Martha
The carp in Hanako-san's dream are still in danger. Look, you never know when sharp stones or strong water currents might damage the koi's delicate scales. According to Hanako-san, a sacred turtle figurine, a symbol of armor and protection, appeared in her dream. Let's look for it!
The figurine you found looks fragile, but it is actually strong enough to fall from a high mountain and not break. The sacred tortoise is said to be a heavenly animal that gives longevity and protection. This should serve as a sturdy shield to protect your koi.
-
friend in need
Hanako
It is clear that we are destined to save this carp, but this is no easy task! The carp is swimming against the current and is about to be thrown into the oncoming cloud of darkness by the wild current. Let's give him a hand so that he can somehow make it up the river.
You are so lucky to find a bouncy wheel of water flow! This is how the carp sensed the strength of will and came to the rescue! The sound of the mysterious bell on the bouncer regulates the flow of water in the river. Now the carp can swim towards a safe place.
-
obstructing one's way
Martha
Hanako-san's dream led me here to help the koi, but unfortunately this little koi is slowing down. According to the spirits, it is because of the fear the koi has of the approaching darkness. In the dream, Hanako-san used a heavenly lotus flower to block the path of the darkness. Let's find that flower!
This heavenly lotus flower has the power to weaken the darkness that tries to creep into our sacred spring. Float this in water to create a barrier composed of powerful spiritual energy. It may not have the power to destroy the darkness, but it will slow its progress, giving the carp time to escape.

Dangerous Calligraphy Tools
Detective
That grudge, who seems convinced that none of the evidence found so far has anything to do with his death... what the hell is going on? She doesn't leave my side for a moment, and she's so indignant that she looks like she's about to explode. Wait, maybe she's the one who blew up? I've heard about a certain trick that makes people explode... I'm going to try to see if I'm right and see if you can find me an inkwell.
This inkwell is filled with explosives. Just shake it and it will explode, so be careful... Oh, the grudge knocked the inkwell out of my hand! Is everyone all right? If we don't get rid of that violent grudge spirit soon, it might kill us. Okay, let's go see Hanako.
-
Dangerous scent
Detective
That vindictive spirit apparently thinks it was her husband who killed her. Funny, my head is starting to hurt! I smell something weird. Is that what's causing it? Hey, the fog has lifted over there. I think the city is telling us to look there.
It's like a choking aroma. It's extremely dangerous. This odor is made from toad mucus, which is said to cause headaches and paralysis. If he used this to kill his wife, the man must be quite a scoundrel. But... the woman's spirit is shaking its head!
-
words of resentment
Detective
The grudge still haunts me...I feel as if I'm under a terrible curse! Yes, maybe she died from the curse? If I can find proof of that, maybe she'll leave me alone. Let's see if we can find some kind of spell book.
Oh, you found the spellbook. And it was tied to a cherry blossom branch... According to Hanako, it was a very evil person who wrote it. According to Hanako, the person who wrote it is a very evil person, and the curse is so strong that it can kill a person. However, the ghost did not react at all when he saw it. He must have been killed in some other way.
-
secret weapon
Detective
I've noticed that the grudge spirits that are chasing me around have quite a lot of make-up on. Maybe the killer laced the cosmetics with poison. Listen up, buddy. Maybe the city can tell you where the dangerous cosmetics are.
I knew it! There's a golden poison needle cleverly hidden in this brush! This kind of brush is originally used for makeup. Maybe that grudge was a geisha? No, you're shaking your head. And he seems even more resentful than before. If we don't hurry, we're going to have a terrible time.
-
Secret Tea
Detective
I need to find out who killed the woman who became a vengeful spirit. Otherwise, I will remain haunted for the rest of my life. It happened a long time ago, but I'm sure the city will help me find a clue. In the past, various poisons were used to kill people. So maybe that grudge was poisoned. Let's look for old items with poison inside.
Look at this. We found a tea kettle with traces of poison inside, and in relatively good condition. I'm no stranger to poisons. The tea in this jar was poisoned in a special way. Oh, the grudge is shaking her head. I guess she didn't taste this gyokuro.
-
heartfelt wish
Ryu
After much thought, I decided to give Aimi something symbolic. Yes, a blessing amulet. I would put my feelings into the amulet so that she would know how much I care about her. But I am not good at making such things. Can you help me to make it a beautiful design?
A wonderful amulet has been created. A beautiful amulet with deep meaning...but maybe she doesn't want these things. Oh, I wish I had never done so much research on human emotions rather than not knowing what to give to my loved one!
-
elusive beauty
Ryu
I have noticed that when I look at people, women always seem to want to be more beautiful. Aimi already has perfect beauty, but I am sure she still feels the same way as other women. I would like to give her a cheek lipstick container so that her face will always be vibrant and glowing. I'm sure it's around here somewhere...can you help me find it together?
Thank you for finding this cheek lipstick container. Let's put a spell on this container so that it will make the perfect cheek rouge for Aimi's delicate peach-like cheeks...no, still no! If I give her such a gift, she will think that I think Aimi is not beautiful. I will give a different gift.
-
multiple emotions
Ryu
To give to Aimi, I got a peacock feather that lives in a heavenly paradise. Rumor has it that just looking at it makes her happy. Do you think she would be happy if I gave this to her? Please let me know if you actually feel joy when you see this feather.
The fact that you are smiling means that these peacock feathers have the power to make people feel happy. However, human emotions are complex things. Aimi has a sensitive heart; sometimes she is cheerful and sometimes she is sad. Is it acceptable to lose other emotions in order to feel only happiness? After all, this may not be an appropriate gift.
-
favourable weather
Ryu
I heard a saying, "The heart of beauty is as changeable as the weather in spring." I am actually thinking of giving Aimi an umbrella. If she holds it up, she will never have to be caught in the rain again. I am sure she will be honestly happy. Try the function of a good weather umbrella.
Thank you for trying out the features of the good weather umbrella that I am thinking of giving to Aimi. As you said, you can always feel the sunshine and a pleasant breeze when you carry this umbrella. I am glad you like it, but if you think about it, it may be inconvenient to have to carry an umbrella all the time. It would be better to give you something else.
-
beautiful cherry blossoms
Ryu
I want to give Aimi what she really wants. Women like jewelry, don't they? Wouldn't a ring please her? We have created some unique rings using the power of demons. Please choose the one you think is the most beautiful.
You chose a ring with a cherry blossom branch motif. Would Aimi like this ring? But in fact, she is beautiful enough without any ornaments. Then, this may be a boring gift. Look for something more unique.
-
Phoenix Power
Hanako
We have found the life energy needed to transform Tetsuo. Next we need to recreate the energy of destruction that conflicts with it. The phoenix is reborn in the sacred flame. To help Tetsuo, burn the collected items in an ancient brazier. Find the brazier.
This brazier fire will melt metal, but will not burn you if you touch it with your hand. This sacred flame will help release the energy needed to make Tetsuo human again. It will also help to erase any traces of the curse that has been placed upon him.
-
Gift of Heavenly Light
Naoko
I would like to help Tetsuo with the ritual to return him to his human form, but unfortunately I am not familiar with transformation spells. There is one thing I can do! Will you look for an offering to the sun with me? The sun, which is reborn every day, would be able to help us.
You have gathered a wonderful collection of offerings! A feast on a beautiful lotus leaf would be the perfect way to please the sun. Every morning the sun transforms the world by turning night into day. The blessing of that sun will help Tetsuo's transformation.
-
transformational poem
Hanako
Spirit energy should play an important role in Tetsuo's return to humanity. There is a great possibility that evil spirits will be summoned, but there are ways to protect ourselves from them. Could you please find the wandering poet's belongings to perform the ritual of taming the flowers?
This will help tame the flowers! Write a special invocation with these items. In the distant past, evil spirits hid in the petals of flowers to get closer to humans. But a wandering poet came up with a way to scare them away. We can use the same method.
-
sharp and supple
Isabelle
Oh, your aura is being completely destroyed. The Developing Power can no longer see you! Hurry! The last ingredient is the trunk. It has the strength of a daredevil, and the gullibility of a toady.
I have everything I need for my prescription. Fruit, leaves, flowers, roots, and trunk. Now hurry up and get to the guide. It's time to make the elixir!
-
dying
Ryu
It would take a lot of power to transform Tetsuo. Come to think of it, the healing pebble has a powerful life energy in it. Without it, it would be difficult to become human again. Please go find some!
You have found a magnificent healing pebble! You can feel the vibrations of the life energy that lies dormant within it without having to touch it. People who noticed this energy began to use this stone as a healing amulet. It will surely give Tetsuo the power to become human again.
-
solidarity
Hanako
In order for Tetsuo to be able to become human again, everything must be carefully prepared. The first thing that must be done is a purification ritual. Without it, the reply may not work. Can you help me find a formative of purification?
With this purification token, preparations can be made to return Tetsuo to his human form. This has the power to remove powerful curses and using more than one will make it even more effective. Thank you for your help in finding enough of them.
-
Mother's love
Naoko
First we need to unleash Tetsuo's strongest emotions first. Then the other emotions will follow. The strongest of Tetsuo's emotions would be his love for his mother. He adored his kind-hearted mother very much. When she learned of my existence, she presented Tetsuo with a wedding gift. I believe it was around here somewhere. Could you please look for it?
Tetsuo's mother lovingly wrapped the gift in this silk cloth. Because of her love, Tetsuo-san was able to remain at peace in his time of need. I pray that his love will answer my call and be released from the lantern.
-
Soul Song
Ryu
Naoko told me about Tetsuo's story and I thought about the strong emotions in him. According to Naoko, his voice resembles the sound of a mountain stream. However, she said that he was humble and did not try to perform a song with that voice. In order to free Tetsuo's humility from the lantern, would you join us to create a singing fountain?
Seeing Izumi singing this song brought tears to Naoko's eyes. Tetsuo had many worries in his heart, but he never talked about them to anyone but her. This kind of humble feeling will surely be helpful in the ritual.
-
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.
-

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.
