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.
-
hideous color
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.
-
Recipe for Guide
Conductor
I read in the paper that if you eat green food in the new year, good changes will escape you. I just made a tarragon drink... can you believe it? I put it in a pitcher, have you seen it? I'll take it to the citrus tree and you can help me find it.
This is my original recipe! I add a little bit of heavenly herbs instead of sugar to give it that sweetness. Thanks for finding the pitcher for me.
-
Sharp darts
Detective
Take a good look at everything here. Hmmm, maybe we should expand the search area... Throwing weapons should be used from a distance. What do you think we'll find here?
Oops, darts! There's a few of them. Three different stores, all different types. Was there more than one killer? Was this a ploy to murder the guide?
-
Broccoli feast
Adeline Svensson
Maybe I should write an article about green treats missing out on a good change? I cooked up some Romanesco broccoli for a New Year's treat, but I probably shouldn't serve that. Can you help me take it to the citrus tree?
It would have been lovely to have a Romanesco dish for New Year's, too bad! They use so many other ingredients that are good for you. What a perfect treat for a journalist.
-
be to the point
Detective
Interesting indeed. I've already found two more weapons that could have wounded the guide. But I have a feeling there are other unusual weapons hidden in there.
Oh yeah, here it is! Shuriken! Looks like someone took the time to thoroughly prepare the ideal weapon for a murderer.
-
Taste of Sleep
Monk
Whatever happens to the river spirit's lover, the truth will remain as hidden as the sun on a rainy day. But there are other things to worry about. Do you smell something unusual? This is the smell of a special fruit called "sleepy fruit. Could the stone cutter have fallen asleep after eating this? Let's look for the sleepy fruit.
You say you saw a man fall asleep with this in his hand? This fruit is a favorite food of river dragons and grows where they live. It is harmless to dragons, but if a person eats it, he or she will fall under the spell of sleep. Only a river dragon can wake that man up.
-
Gift of the Spirit
Mei
If no one wanted to harm the river spirit's lover, what exactly was he trying to escape from? I asked Qinglong for help again, and he showed me a scene. A river spirit is giving an amulet to a stone cutter. This amulet may have fallen down around here.
This is what you found on the ground? This was definitely given to his girlfriend by the river spirit. If so, he would never throw it away even in the midst of war... Look at this! It has what looks like dragon fang marks on it. Dragons do not attack people without reason. Are you saying that he fought with the stone cutter for some reason?
-
Blessings of the Earth
Monk
Concern. The fact that he fled in such a hurry that his shirt was torn and the cracks left by his fangs in the water container make it quite possible that the river spirit's lover is in danger. Actually, we found his footprints, and something has fallen next to them. Let's check that out.
This is a butterfly carrot case! Every traveler must carry this with him on his journey. The reason is that the root of the Chinese carrot not only has the power to heal wounds, but also to warn its owner of danger. If anyone tried to harm the stone cutter, this carrot would turn black to let him know, but this one would remain fresh and clean. What in the world was he trying to escape from?
-
unidentified monster
Mei
I heard from Seiryu that you are looking for the loved one of the river spirit. Let me help you. The unknown young man has a powerful spiritual energy. Seiryu sensed this and informed me that he had lost his water container on his way to the quarry. Will you help me find it?
This water container had fallen in a grassy area. It is a useful item for drinking water on the move. However, I have a bad feeling about it. The cracks on this water container were not caused by the time it was dropped. It looks as if someone had chewed it up with a mouth full of fangs. Was the stone cutter attacked by a demon?
-
as fast as one can go
Monk
If the river spirit's loved one cannot be found, the river will become fishless under the influence of her tears. It is said that stone cutters used to frequent the local mines. As I recall, there was a mine in this area. Let's try to find him there.
Are you saying that this piece of shirt was caught on a tree branch? This is definitely Ishikiri's. Surely fate must be on our side. The genie told us about the shirt he was wearing when he was last seen. Why didn't he notice that his shirt was torn? Are you suggesting that he was desperately trying to escape from something?
-
Threads of many warriors
Yui
Only Suzaku can repair the holes that demons have made in the fabric of the world. But that would require special threads. Warriors from all over the world have sent me threads of clothing they used in battle. Will you help me place these in the shrine?
The threads sent by 100 warriors could be placed in the shrine. The energy of the Suzaku would strengthen the power of the thread many times over. With this, if there is a hole in the weaving of the world, Suzaku will quickly repair it.
-
Banner of the Guardian Gods
Yui
The army I lead has gone to war many times in the past under the banner of Suzaku. Vermilion Bird is said to be the guardian god of warriors. To show respect for past victories and to let the world know about Vermilion Bird's great past, let us raise the battle flag at the shrine. Will you look for it with me?
Yes, I too went to my first battle in the schoolyard and in the name of my ancestors with this flag. I almost died there, but Suzaku saved my life. It's a fitting flag to display at a shrine dedicated to the protector of the earth.
-
Clever defense system
Yui
A shrine dedicated to a new guardian deity, Suzaku, needs a guard. In some parts of China, geese play this role. When strangers appear, they make a high-pitched honking sound and flap their wings to warn us. This time we will use a jade bird. Can you find it for me?
Could that be a jade bird amulet? I would have thought you would bring something like a small statue, but you are clever to find something like this. If an enemy tries to attack a seemingly defenseless shrine, the little amulet will materialize and a jade-colored guard will appear. It's sure to knock your socks off.
-
Powerful spells
Yui
People manipulated by demons might visit the shrine and make requests to the guardian deity for impure purposes. We should think of a way to protect the shrine from such people. If there is a spellbook with a rooster on it, it should keep those with impure thoughts in their hearts from passing through. Will you look for it with me?
Thank you! This spellbook is very powerful. The spells written here will protect the shrine from evil influences and will protect the good people who come to pay their respects to the new guardian deity, Suzaku.
-
Sacred Place
Yui
The shrine dedicated to Suzaku must be built on top of the mountain, facing exactly south. Furthermore, the entrance must face east so that the sun shines in at sunrise. Let's use a compass to find the best place to build the shrine. Can you help us find it?
This compass, also called a "shinan," is literally meant to point south. The mechanism is that when you rotate the lengua in the middle, the arrow stops pointing south. The arrow was chipped and the lengua itself was pretty worn out, so I had to install a vermillion feather in its place.
-
Wise Advice
Monk
Upon arriving at the dragon's celestial temple, the wise dragon told the tiger that humans should belong in the human world and not with the spirits. For me, he said, there is no better place than the village where I was born. So I immediately turned back. I walked around, letting the kite the dragon had given me fly high in the sky. I hope I can find it.
Thank you. This was a gift from the dragon, the guardian of the earth. It is a treasured item. The wise dragon not only showed me the best place for me, but also gave me the blessing of longevity. May I fulfill all my missions.
-
clang of drums
Monk
They did not stay long in the valley of the cattle. The valley was not a comfortable place for humans, and they thought it would be futile to burden the great spirits by staying there. As he was leaving, Cow gave me a dengdan drum, which can be heard from anywhere in the world. Would you look for it?
It's this den-daiko...I didn't expect you to find me so quickly. Through it, Cow has given me strength and patience. It has saved me many times in my long life. Whenever I would ring it three times, the spirit of the cow would always come to my rescue immediately.
-
Winds of Change
Monk
The tops of the cranes stayed for a long time. The great guardian played with me using a bamboo dragonfly and showed me how the birds flew in the sky. When we parted, the crane presented me with the bamboo-copter, which I had grown fond of. Can you help me find it?
Bamboo dragonflies, as their name suggests, are very sensitive to change, just like dragonflies. Even the slightest breeze can send them flying. Through this toy, the crane taught us that even a gentle breeze has the power to change the course of things.
-
king of jokes
Monk
I will never forget the elation I felt when I reached the Monkey Forest. The chirping of birds, the scent of fruit, the purity of spring. That place was like heaven. As we ran, the monkey spirit gave me a Sun Wukong doll as a parting gift. Let's look for it.
You found the Monkey King! This puppet was once a gift from the people to the genie. They invited him, their guardian, to a puppet comedy. The comedy was so funny that the monkey spirit's delight was reflected in this puppet. He then gave this puppet to me so that I would not lose heart.
-
Fun and soft
Monk
Before I began my journey, my nurturing tiger spirit was tasked with the difficult task of silencing a crying child. Find me a stuffed tiger cushion. It contains the secret and blessing of peace without sorrow.
You found the plush cushion the tiger spirit gave me. Put it to your ear. Do you hear it? It's the sound of a mother's heartbeat. It's very comforting and will give you peace of mind. When I held it in my hand, I felt as if not only my mother, but my whole family was close by.

Harmony of the Earth
Mei
To defeat the mou and prevent the spread of chaos requires perseverance, patience, and the help of the natural elements. Without the harmony of the earth, we cannot defeat the demons. Can you help me find a clay flute with me? It's a musical instrument made of ceramic, and you'll recognize it when you see it.
According to Chinese mythology, clay flutes were made from clay by the first male ancestors. Initially used for hunting purposes, they were later made to resemble the one you are holding. It is a musical instrument capable of playing the melodies of nature with immeasurable power.

Children's Weapons
Detective
It looks like someone was really training here.... See that sharp flint over there? That was fired from a pitchfork. Why are you so surprised? A flintlock is a serious weapon, and the stones fired from it are sometimes coated with poison. Take a closer look, can you spot it?
Yes, that's a pitchfork! With a pitchfork, you can launch things hundreds of meters away.
-
Singing Metal
Mei
Mou will try to outwit and frighten us and instill chaos in our minds. To protect ourselves from his destructive influence, a metallic melody that gives courage and strength of spirit to those who hear it should be effective. Can you find the bell of equilibrium? If you combine it with other instruments, it will create a richer harmony.
You have found a wonderful bell of equilibrium. I will hang this on a tree near the Tiger Fountain. Whenever you feel your heart is failing or fear has taken over, listen to the sound of this bell. It is not a loud sound, but it has the power to heal the soul.
-
Water tone
Mei
In order to weaken and defeat Mou, we also need the help of water. I am going to fill glass figurines with water from the tiger fountain and arrange them in a specific order to make a xylophone. Can you help me find the figurines?
Fill this ornament with water, and you will have a perfect sirophone. This instrument, containing the element of water, which is essential for life, will weaken the demon that feeds only on destruction and continues to grow.
-
Rhythm of the tree
Mei
In the old days, wooden drums were used in wars. They were used to frighten the enemy. So I am thinking of using a drum to scare the moo away. A drum that can play a rhythm that only wood can produce. Will you help me find it?
The drum you found is called a paique. With this drum, which can produce various pitches and tones, you will be able to create a lively melody that your enemies will not like. As soon as they hear it, the demons of chaos will flee.
-
Singing Flame
Mei
To defeat the demon of chaos, you must first weaken him. It is believed that music is a symbol of true harmony. In other words, in our fight against Mou, we intend to use something that plays melody as a weapon. Can you find me a pot that generates a singing flame?
The fire in this jar plays a melody. And the melody of fire has the power to harmonize energies. This means that it should be able to weaken Mou and at the same time prevent him from building up his power.
-
A green feast
Detective
Buddy, the monk is a pretty wise guy. If he says that serving green food at a feast will make good luck run away, I'll take his word for it. We can put the green food next to the citrus tree, right? Let's do that as soon as possible. I actually made avocado toast. I'm going to put it next to the citrus tree. But where is the citrus tree? What? I thought you might have eaten it. Of course not!
Yummy avocado toast, right? I'll make it again when Chinese New Year is over and I don't have to worry about superstitions.
-
Ashi's Darts
Detective
Wait a minute, I'll try to find it.... There's too much stuff, mostly useless crap. What's this? An air gun? The longer we continue our search, the more mysterious it's going to get... If there's an air gun, there must be darts. Would you look for it?
You're lucky! You know what I found? These darts are made of ashes that inhabit the skin. It is decorated with unspun cotton. They're colored to make them easy to find if you lose them. The rifle was inspired by a weapon that shoots projectiles. I've seen something similar at the police academy.
-
Mayan prophecy
Martha
The astrological chart only confirmed the information we had grabbed so far, but did not reveal anything new. Shall we try Mayan astrology? I rarely use it, though, so I can't even give you a hint as to where it might be.
Oh, you found it! Where the heck did you find this complicated Mayan astrological calendar? It's a little obscure in places, so it might take a while.
-
Awe and Respect
Mei
To prove to my patron that I have the fortitude to do so, I am thinking of dedicating a pine ink pot to him. Calligraphy is a wonderful Chinese culture, but it requires perseverance and consistency to master it fully. Can you help me find a pinewood inkwell?
The pine tree depicted in this ink pot symbolizes two important virtues. Those who do not have them are unable to shake off the doubts that rise in their heads as they approach their goal. From calligraphy I have learned perseverance and consistency.
-
Water smokers kiss
Detective
The last thing I need is a mouthpiece to finish off my water inhaler. Come on buddy, let's find it and beat the cold.
Good job, buddy. You can keep the mouthpiece and let him choose whatever he wants. After that, let's finish getting you ready to conquer the cold.
-
rune
Martha
Based on Alex's astrological signs, I have a good idea of his personality. But it still doesn't reveal much about his past. I need information on the runes that govern his zodiac sign. Could you please get me a runic astrological chart from my private library?
Now let's look at the astrological chart of the runic script. People born during this period are easily influenced by emotions and are never satisfied with their circumstances. They may become broken or aggressive due to some failure.
-
Flexibility and Durability
Isabelle
Miss Peacock asked me to make her a hose for her water smokers. Hers was broken. I used the best wire I could find and enchanted it to make it stronger. Find the hose.
This hose will last for years. We use it to carry steam. I hope Miss Peacock doesn't get sick too often.
-
Indispensable virtues
Mei
Since I am also endowed with the virtue of "diligence," I should be worthy to receive the blessing of my guardian. To prove this, I will dig the bee charm out of the tree. I will show you how to do it, so come with me.
Wood carving is a work that requires diligence, and the bee is called the symbol of this virtue. If you dedicate the amulet you helped me to make to the guardian, you will prove that you can forget your selfishness and work hard to achieve your goals.
-
The Power of Harmony
Mei
I will dedicate the pyramid of harmony to prove that I am worthy of the guardian's blessing. It is a symbol of patience, one of the most important virtues. If you help me find the stones to build the pyramid, I will tell you the legend about it.
There is a legend about that pyramid of harmony you are holding. Once upon a time, there was a man who had a terrible temper. To teach him a lesson, the spirits told him to build a stone pyramid. To accomplish this, he had to cure his tantrums with spiritual harmony and perseverance.
-
Humble Nuo
Mei
One of our virtues is modesty. Nuo's shoes are a symbol of this. If you find them, I will tell you a legend about them. It is about a girl who got lost in a bamboo grove and could not return home.
The shoes that Nuo found have a slightly unusual history. Lost, Nuo asked the spirits for help, but her voice never reached them. When she accepted her fate, she was able to return to her village for the first time. The story goes that the girl left her shoes in the bamboo grove as a gift to the spirits.
-
real treasure
Mei
In order to receive the blessing of the guardian of the earth and defeat the mou, you must offer a gift symbolizing each virtue as proof that you are endowed with an important virtue. First, will you help me find the lotus buds?
The lotus buds you have collected are the embodiment of true treasure, far more valuable than gold. I offer the lotus, a symbol of a soul that has not been tempted by life, as a gift to my guardian. As a sign that I possess such a soul.
-
Last Chance
Monk
To stop the mou, we need the help of the guardians. The artifact to call them has been destroyed by chaos, but it should be possible to just communicate with them. I want you to bring the immortal bell. I will use it to call out to the guardians.
The bell is an ancient and powerful artifact. The sound of its bell once heralded the coming of the dark ages and told people to join forces to fight against the dangers. Likewise, the guardians of the earth will fight with us.
-
rain shower of poison
Detective
The next guardian of the land is the dragon. The dragon is also called the king of rain and flies to the top of the clouds. Therefore, his shrine is said to be high in the sky. To beg the dragon for help, you'll need to find a vessel filled with rainwater and send it to the heavens. Find it. In the meantime, I'll find a kite.
Buddy, I see you found a vessel with rainwater in it! But it looks like what's in this thing is muddy water. You want to try filtering it? Maybe it was poisoned by Mo's crew? Looks like you can't communicate with dragons...
-
silent monkey
Detective
As expected, even the demons of chaos would have a hard time with monkey guardians. There's a forest near the village that no one is allowed to enter, and the monk says there's an ancient shrine dedicated to a monkey in it. Let's find the monkey symbol and ask for help.
Funny! I thought as soon as I found the golden symbol of the monkey I would see the forest and the shrine... but nothing happened. Are you saying that the connection to the monkey's soul has been severed? This must be Mou's doing. But I'm not giving up on that.
-
Summoning the Cranes
Detective
Then we'll have to try another guardian. The crane shrine is quite high up in the mountains, so the particles of chaos may not be able to reach it. Let's look for the crane circle. It's a talisman decorated with feathers. The monk said that if we use it, we can summon the crane guardian.
This is beautiful! But this doesn't look like just any good luck charm. The feathers surrounding it are glowing. Is this a bad sign? If my hunch is right, you're probably right.
-
Call to the bulls
Monk
Let us pray that the other guardians will answer our call without disturbing anyone. As a child I used to visit the shrine where the guardians were enshrined. I believe there are bronze vessels found in the Valley of the Bulls around here. I hope you find it.
It is no coincidence that this bronze artifact from the valley of the bulls fell in the Tiger Spring. Shrines dedicated to the guardians of the land contain items related to them. With this bronze artifact, one would be able to ask for help from the guardian of the bulls.

The Maestro's Stone
Monk
A terrible fate awaited Fu. The lonely craftsman, his soul completely emptied and his heart consumed by jealousy, has turned to stone in his search for unobtainable perfection. Find me a stone statue of Huw.
Did they find a stone statue of Huw? Of course this is not the real him. It was made to tell his sad story. Chaos corrupts the human heart and turns it to stone. And nothing comes from stone.
-
dreadful heart
Monk
The harmony in Huw's soul gradually faded away, until all that remained was a black, bitter jealousy. It took over Fu completely and gradually began to violate the hearts of others. See that crane figurine over there? Bring it to me before I continue.
These cranes release the energy of chaos. The cranes turning their backs on each other represent the way those who once loved Fuu's work turned their backs on him. The chaos that grew inside him not only filled his heart with resentment, but also consumed everyone around him.
-
Darkness nestled in the heart
Monk
Pride shattered Huw's heart. Chaos-inducing particles began to appear on the instruments he created as microscopic defects. When Fuu saw this, he was furious, and he and his instruments were increasingly engulfed in chaos. You can see it in the bottle there. I want you to give it to me.
Do you see the particles of evil energy enveloping that bottle? This is a symbol of the chaos in Fu's soul. His mind has been taken over by resentment, and every instrument he created was tainted by darkness.
-
Appearance of Rivals
Monk
Many wanted to take Champou's place. One day, Fu, another instrument maker, visited him, but he still could not surpass Champouw. Look for the gourd flute that Fuu made. It was the flute that led to the birth of Mou.
This is the flute that Fuu made. It is a beautiful work of art, but as you can hear, there is something missing in the tone of this instrument. Fuu urged Chan Puu to make him his apprentice, but he refused. He refused, saying that skill is not something to be taught, but something to be learned by oneself. These words sowed the seeds of chaos in Fu's mind.
-
Master of Harmony
Monk
Long ago, there was a very skilled craftsman named Chang Pu. His name was known all over China for his unique sounding instruments. Come to think of it, there must have been a Moon's around here. I hope you can find it so we can find out where Mou came from.
This one is hundreds of years old, but in perfect condition. It is said that the instruments made by Champou were brought to the palace to please the ears of the rulers. Champou's heart was always full of harmony, and he also played an important role in the birth of Mo.
-
Living Paintings
Monk
There are undoubtedly very malevolent forces at work in the phenomenon of the Tiger Spring about to dry up. To learn more about this, we should enlist the help of the famous teacups produced in this village. Look for the teacups with moving pictures on them.
This teacup is in very good condition. The paintings here change in content depending on what is happening at the time, but what we see now is a painting depicting an ancient legend. Does this mean that events of the past are happening again?
-
Jade gave me a hint.
Monk
The Tiger Spring is filled with special energy. Therefore, only a very powerful person can stop its flow from the inside. I want you to bring a jade bead. Put them in the fountain and you will discover what is causing the water to flow out.
Thank God he found the jade beads. When I placed these in the spring, the jade turned black as if covered in soot and immediately turned icy cold. This is an extremely dangerous sign. The phenomenon of the water flowing out of the fountain is definitely related to the presence of evil.
-
legitimate self-defense
Detective
Maybe the tiger fountain is about to dry up for self-preservation reasons. Maybe something is trying to use the fountain to enter the spirit world by pretending to be a tiger. Look for a tiger costume.
I knew it! Someone put this on and pretended to be a tiger. But this looks more like a children's toy. Does this have something to do with the traditions of the village? Just to be sure, let's keep the theory that someone tried to break in by pretending to be a tiger.
-
Doubtful amulets
Detective
To find out why the tiger fountain is about to dry up, we need to look for clues. Are any of the items here mixed in with some kind of evil talisman? For example, doesn't this frizzy tassel look suspicious? Let's find out right away!
Those tassels don't look bad. It seems to be a product of a long-established tradition. It's probably the same kind of knot decoration that Mei and Yui are wearing. Maybe it's a good luck charm. Let's ask the monk.
-
Where the water flows down
Detective
Buddy, look at that. A vortex-like thing has appeared at the spout! The water is flowing out with the same force as when you pull the plug on the bathtub. Is there a hole in it? If we don't check out that whirlpool as soon as possible, the river in town will dry up completely.
I examined the mysterious vortex and found nothing of note. Not even a crack in the spout. But when I put my hand in, something black came on it. It looked like wet soot... I don't see anything wrong with the spout, but I'd better look for more!
-
The Road Leading Home
Monk
My heart is filled with excitement. I wonder how long it has been since I last visited my hometown... I used to climb mountains as lightly as a crane in the sky, but now I can only move forward slowly like a tortoise. Now, the Tiger Spring is just around the corner.
Nothing has changed here. It's as if time has stopped. Let me introduce you to my friends... the dumpling-nosed golden monkeys. They may know why the water flow has changed.
-
Constant Heating
Martha
Don't worry. Miss Peacock's illness is due to a simple cold, not someone's magic or trickery. Let's find some chillum. It's a bowl to warm Juliette's concoction.
Chillum is used to heat tobacco, but in this case it is used to make honey and medicinal herbs. This combination is good for the vocal cords.
-
Star Influences
Martha
Now that we know when Alex was born, we can determine his zodiac sign. Can you help me find the astrological chart for the zodiac sign?
Could you please show me your astrological chart? You see, the first 10 days of February belong to Aquarius and are under the influence of Uranus. You have a rebellious spirit, but you don't like conflict.
-
Tree Horoscope
Martha
Alex's past will be revealed shortly. Next, we'll use the druid's astrological chart to determine his exact birth date. Can you go find it for me?
You finally found the druid's astrological chart! If you sprinkle various types of leaves on Alex's portrait and astrological chart and cast a wind spell, you should be able to see his aura connections.
-
Eastern Prediction
Martha
To find out about Alex's past, we first need his birthday. Can you help me find a blueprint of a Chinese astrological chart with the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac on it? If we do a little ritual with it, it should reveal something.
You found an astrological chart that was assembled halfway through. Let's put the letters under the stars, "fire, earth, gold, water, wood". Now, Alex's portrait appears in the center of the board and begins to spin. Here is where you cast the spell.
-
countdown
Icy
The Christmas chronometer, which signals the approach of the festive season in the city, has somehow started running in reverse. Do you think this is the work of magic? I tried to disarm the magic, but nothing happened. Could you please take the chronometer? I hope Martha will be able to find out the cause.
This Christmas chronometer has always been an accurate indicator of the time leading up to Christmas. If the hands are reversed, it is as if Christmas is moving away from us. How is that possible? Oh, we must do something in a hurry!

The Tragedy of Card Fraudsters
Cardsharp
Somebody! Help! Oh, I'll be fine. But my lucky deck is in trouble. Some of these cards have turned out like new. It's mysticism or something! Look. The marks are gone...oh, no, it's as if they've never been used.
You can't win with a brand new card like this! What else in town has been regenerated to a new state? All right, then take my playing cards to Martha's Ritual. Spell or spell or magic or whatever, I'll be waiting for my lucky deck to be restored to its original state.
-
dark sky
Helen
We have been working on a star map for months now, trying to calculate the exact time when the Christmas star will appear. Suddenly, however, the map is back to normal, as if we had just started working on it. Could this be the work of some dangerous magic? Here, take a look.
As you can see, there is only a small amount of writing on this map of the planet. Only the first record of the writing is left, and all the rest has disappeared. If this is due to time magic, I sincerely hope that Martha can break the spell. It would be too sad to lose all the information I worked late into the night to gather.
-
Rebirth of the Mysteries
Lady
I was just looking for you! I could use some of your wisdom. My favorite, vintage kettle has suddenly turned into a brand new looking kettle. Can you believe it? Are you going to show this to Martha? If there's any chance it could be under some dangerous spell, I'd appreciate it if you'd take it with you.
Is it safe to touch the kettle directly after it has been returned to new? Wouldn't it be better to use a pot grabber? I look forward to finding out what magic has been done to it. It's my favorite kettle, so I hope nothing bad has happened to it.
