Ornaments of Creation
Hanako
I now know what the Moon Goddess is grieving the loss of. It is the crown of twilight that has adorned her head since time immemorial. She would never show her face without it. Let's look for it nearby.
What a beautiful crown! Thanks to your excellent searching skills. This crown with pearls is very similar to those found in ancient paintings depicting the Moon Goddess. Let us pray that this is her most prized ornament and that its appearance in the sky.
-
Refreshing beauty
Hanako
We have yet to find any ornaments that the Moon Goddess is saddened to lose. Come to think of it, I have seen an old engraving depicting the Moon Goddess wearing earrings shaped like a fan. If the earring had fallen off, the Moon Goddess must have been very sad. I understand that feeling very well. Let's look for the earrings of the goddess.
I am glad I found this fan earring. This is said to contain a mysterious power and when worn, one can feel the cool night air. If this is what the goddess dropped, her silver face should appear in the night sky again.
-
star dust
Hanako
Once again, it seems we were wrong. The Moon Goddess still hides her face, and the werewolves are making a big fuss in the city. But the invisible judges wish us to continue our search. By the way, I saw a drawstring bag dropped near here. There is a possibility that the Moon Goddess may have lost some ornaments in it. Let's check it out.
I have never seen such a beautiful drawstring bag! It is decorated with pearls, but there are no ornaments inside. The only thing inside is star dust... Perhaps this is the powder used by the moon goddess for her makeup. If so, it is possible that the moon goddess who retrieved it will appear in the sky again.
-
Silk feel
Hanako
According to the invisible judges, the hairpin mentioned earlier does not seem to belong to the Moon Goddess. Perhaps the reason she no longer appears in the sky is because she has lost her comb. Without a comb, she cannot keep her beautiful silver hair. Did you see a comb fall down around here?
Thank you for finding the length comb. It is a very elegant piece with delicate patterns and pearls. It is smooth to the touch and fits perfectly in your hand. I can imagine the moon goddess combing her silky smooth hair. The invisible judges will tell you if this is the item she is looking for.
-
The Secret to Beautiful Hair
Hanako
If you look for the rare items that the mist has brought to the city, you will find among them the ornaments dropped by the Moon Goddess. Find it and the moon will appear in the sky again. I often drop my hairpin while doing my hair, and I wonder if the same thing happened to the Moon Goddess. Can you help me find the hairpin?
You have found a very elegant Kanzashi! It is decorated with the symbol of the moon. It definitely belongs to the moon goddess. Give it to the invisible judges and ask them to return it to the moon.

My favorite hat
Roger Doubledeal
See, the golden bees have gathered! The preparations seem to have worked. But...I forgot! In order to direct the energy of change to my wish, I need to place something I have used for a long time along with the flowers and other items. Where did my favorite hat go?
Ah, there you are. Thank you for finding it! Let's put this hat next to the flower. You see the bees are flying over the flowers. This should fuse the energy of change into the particles of my aura. Let's see how the magic of spring works.
-
Miracle Fruits
Roger Doubledeal
I am concerned that the golden bees will not be able to gather enough of the energy of change needed to make my wish come true. So I am planning to use fruits as well as flowers to attract them. However, they are special bees, so I will need special fruits. Let's collect Hesperides apples!
So you have found the apples of the Hesperides! Even though they are not real, they look very similar to the wonder apples from the Garden of the Hesperides, which are said to give immortality. They look very tasty and full of energy, so I bet they attract a lot of golden bees.
-
optimistic
Roger Doubledeal
Do you want to know what my wish is? Oh no, this is a very big question! I myself spent a long time trying to figure it out exactly. Anyway, we must call in the golden bees and get the energy of change they possess. An oriental amulet should help with that. Have you seen them anywhere?
Ah, you found it. It is an amulet consisting of five hardened pieces, symbolizing the harmony of the five elements: wood, metal, earth, fire, and water. I am sure that the flow of yang energy created by this amulet will attract the golden bees to me.
-
Prophecy of Happiness
Roger Doubledeal
Only the golden bees of spring can bring the particles of change needed to make wishes come true. Rumor has it that they come when they feel positive energy. So I am going to place the most auspicious of my cards next to the flowers I have prepared. Would you like to find it in the pile of cards?
So you found the lucky "9 of Cups" card! Well done! Can you feel the positive energy from it? According to one experienced fortune teller, this card brings success and the fulfillment of wishes. Let us hope that the golden bees will come to you, lured by the energy of this card.
-
Flower of Fortune
Roger Doubledeal
I have come up with a way to attract golden bees to make my wish come true. First, we need a flower and a lucky amulet. We need the help of an amulet so that the bees will be interested in the flowers. The Wheel of Fortune would work as an amulet, but I actually lost it recently... Could you help me find it together?
Thank you for restoring the circle of destiny! It was decorated with fragrant flowers by the goddess of destiny herself. If my calculations are correct, this should make the flowers three times more attractive than they were originally. This would mean that there is a very good chance that golden bees will be attracted to these flowers.
-
Fortune finds
Cardsharp
Excuse me? A gift? Something of value? Then I'll find it, no matter what it takes! The fog has already taken so much. At least I'll get an Easter egg. According to the Easter Bunny, my gift is supposed to bring good luck. If so, it would probably be an egg with talismanic powers. Have you seen anything like that?
You hold the egg, and good luck will be transferred to your hand! But unfortunately, I need it more than you do. Now, hand it over. You're lucky the fog didn't take this gift. Oh, I can feel my luck improving. I'm going to have to try this out right away!
-
elegant (elegant) pattern
Juliette
Oh, what am I going to do? Everyone else has found a gift from the Easter Bunny, but I just can't find it. I'm sure it's a gorgeous, delicate, wonderful work of art. That's exactly the kind of thing I like! Perhaps it's the lovely lacy egg? Will you help me find it?
Well, you found a lovely lacy egg. I wish I had the skill to create such beautiful patterns! I wonder if the Girl of Spring could teach you the intricate techniques of lace weaving? She's the one who helps the Easter Bunny make gifts to give to people in town, isn't she?
-
Mystery hidden within
Huntress
I don't want the fog to get in the way of the surprise that the Easter Bunny has prepared for me! Let me help you look for Easter eggs. Besides, the Easter Bunny told me that he has some mysterious gift for me too. I wonder if it's a rare monster egg or something? But there's no need to be afraid. Let's look for it together.
You found the mystical egg. I'm impressed! What an unusual egg. It's a beauty to behold, shining in multiple colors. What a wonderful gift. I wonder if a dragon will be born from it? It has always been my dream to raise dragons.
-
spring air
Lady
If the Easter eggs are not found, not only will the Easter Bunny be sad, but the Girl of Spring will be sad too. And if the Spring Girl is in a bad mood, so will the weather. By the way, my gift to you has to do with flowers. The Easter Bunny gave me a hint that it's an egg that looks like a vase, but I just can't find it. Can you help me?
I am so grateful to you for finding the wonderful gift that the Easter Bunny brought me. We would not have found it without you. Now let's get started decorating this vase with beautiful primroses. See, can you feel it? The flowers are radiating spring energy.
-
difficult task
Valerie
Come on, let's go find the spring gift the Easter Bunny brought us! Thank goodness the golden bees carried them out of the mist. I wonder what the Easter Bunny has in store for me? Look, Eddie is running. I have to follow him. I'm sure he'll take me to where my gift is!
You found it before Eddie did. That's great! This is a puzzle egg. I love puzzles! It looks like you have to move a stick along a cutout in the egg to open it. It's hard, but it's fun. The Easter Bunny knows exactly what I like.
-
Butterflies reflecting the past
Martha
Stained glass butterflies can sense even the slightest light emitted by the human soul. The light reflected from the butterfly's colorful body paints a scene from the past. Look for the stained glass butterfly. When you find it, Juliette's suncatcher will be complete.
This stained glass butterfly would be a perfect addition to my suncatcher. If this illuminates Juliette's past, I'm going to use my powers to look into it.
-
Colors of days gone by
Detective
My partner, I'm worried about Juliette. She has been so involved in making suncatchers that she hasn't been eating or sleeping well. I want to get her some decorations for her suncatcher. For example, some sort of accessory that will make the memories rainbow-colored. It should be easy to find.
You've found some pretty nice rainbow-colored earrings. If you look closely, they're made of lots of little glass beads. Let's hope these will brighten Juliette's memory. I don't want her to be disappointed after all that hard work.
-
Mystery of Dragonfly Wings
Juliette
Glowing dragonflies have beautiful wings. When light reflects off of them, it creates wonderful patterns. Martha has found answers to difficult questions there many times. So maybe I can find some long-forgotten memories in them, too. Would you be willing to search for dragonflies with me?
This shiny dragonfly would make a lovely addition to my suncatcher. Look at those wings. They look like they are made of intersecting destinies. I feel like I will remember my past in the not too distant future.
-
Memories in the spiral
Juliette
Martha told me that everything that happens in life moves in a spiral. And that many current events give us clues about what happened in the past. I need a spiral memory made of tiny glass beads. Can you help me find them?
It's amazing how quickly you find such beautiful spiral memories. Thank you! When the sun's rays shine on these, you'll definitely see a scene from my past in the rainbow of colors.
-
pure heart
Juliette
I need to put an unmixed crystal heart in the center of the suncatcher. It should be able to sense the memories my heart has forgotten. Please, find me a crystal heart that shines.
I'm thrilled that you found this beautiful glowing heart. I already feel a kinship with this heart. I'm sure the suncatcher with this woven into it will show me my precious memories.
-
parent bird's tear
Helga
I have been dreading this moment for a long time... The hardest part of what Sif has to throw away to become Druas is her bond with me, her mother. For this reason, I am going to burn the cookie roller filled with so many happy memories. Will you please find it?
So you found the cookie roller. This was the first thing my daughter dug under my guidance. By burning this item, which is filled with so much love, my daughter, who has become a Druas, will gain enormous power. Could you please put this in the fire? Because I just can't seem to do it...
-
Friendship born in the forest
Helga
If I understand correctly, when you become a Drusus, you must swear to never harm the forest or the forest's inhabitants. To do so, Sif must throw away the hatchet given to him by the woodcutter of the Forest of Prophecy. I believe it was around here somewhere. Could you please look for it?
This hatchet was a gift to Sif from a woodcutter who would bring wood for the woodcarver. The woodcutter, a child of the forest, had lived without emotion for centuries, but the bright and cheerful Sif broke his armor. He became my daughter's first friend.
-
Happy Childhood
Helga
In order to become a Druas, one must burn items related to Sif's childhood in the fireplace. People are always tempted to go back to their past when they remember a happy childhood. Could you please bring the stuffed rabbit that Sif treasured most as a child? Because it would be too painful for me...
You have found it. It is very painful to throw this into the fire, but it is necessary for Sif to have her freedom. My daughter made this herself when she was 7 years old. It only has a tail because it was too difficult to draw the face in embroidery.
-
A Family Story
Helga
The first book to be ceremonially burned is the Book of Animals, which describes the animals that live near the Easter veranda. She loved caring for the animals, gave them names and wrote stories about them. Can you help us find this book?
You have found the book of animals. From Ausumbra the cow to Vaari the goose, my daughter wrote stories about all the animals that live near this veranda. The animals will miss her when she's gone. Sangchang Sifu showed the book's many illustrations and read the stories to the animals.
-
Flames of the Past
Spirit of Spring
The ritual that transforms Sif into Drusus requires the destruction of objects associated with Sif's life to date. The objects that hold her together in this world are to be burned in a small ceremonial willow fireplace. Can you help us light the day?
Thank you for your help in lighting the willow fireplace. This is a fire with a special power, not only to burn things, but to transform them into the power of the Drüss in the future. The more Sif burns the many things she holds dear, the stronger her reborn connection to nature will become.
-
awakening
Spirit of Spring
Sif is convinced that she is ready to become a Drusus. But will she be afraid when she actually does? I will try to show her mind the illusion that she has already become a Drüus and see how she reacts. To create the illusion, I need Sif's alarm clock.
It is called a real-world alarm clock, and the tick-tock of the clock takes Sif to a fantasy world... Apparently, she is not afraid of becoming a Drüss and has made up her mind completely. Now, let's ring the alarm clock and bring her consciousness back to the real world.
-
Mother's Memory
Spirit of Spring
Sif is willing to give up her woodcarver's ability in exchange for her freedom by becoming a Druas, but is she ready to leave Helga, the woman who raised her? If so, the mother will not even be able to touch her daughter... Sif's subconscious has shown me the magic mobile. Can you find something similar?
This magical mobile appeared in Sif's mind as an image of her mother. When it was time for Sif to go to bed, Helga would often sing to him about the snow-covered mountains far away. Sif knows that the bond between herself and her mother is stronger than anything else and that no matter what, the love between them will never change.
-
What attracts birds
Spirit of Spring
Is Sif ready to completely abandon the gift of prophecy that has been bestowed upon him and become a Drusus? Perhaps this is easier said than done. Her mind showed me the soul bird as a symbol of the woodcarver. It looks a little like the sparrow in the wooden birdcage over there. Could you please bring that one?
Sif seems to be comparing his own abilities to the sun crystal in the birdcage. The bird is obsessed with this crystal, but understands that in order to obtain it, it must be prepared to lock its own soul into the birdcage. Is the crystal worth that much?
-
becoming independent
Spirit of Spring
Is Sif completely convinced about becoming a Druas instead of a woodcarver? At the moment, her mind seems to be on the fence. I see an image of sharp flower saw teeth hurting Sif. There must have been something similar on this balcony. Could you please look for it?
You have found the flower saw. What this image in Sif's mind means is that she is torn between wanting to remain on the Easter veranda with her mother and wanting to spread her wings out into the world. While she doesn't want to stay here, she is also afraid to go out into the unknown.
-
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.
-
paper animal
Naoko
Only the vivid memories of my loved ones can untie the "spell-binding knots" that bind the emotions of my heart, but I cannot recall them without your help! I was going to show you my amulet, but I seem to have dropped it somewhere. Please find it before that origami moussavi gets wet in the rain!
I see that you found the origami musasabi! This reminds me of the time when I took a walk in the forest with Tetsuo without anyone's knowledge. We found this kind of flying squirrel in a thicket. I was so happy and my heart was pounding! I felt such a feeling every time I met Tetsuo-san.
-
Wings of Love
Naoko
My mind is still bound by the "knot of spells". All that remains is a faint echo of emotions... Could I release the emotions of my heart by evoking memorable tastes and smells? Will you join me in making my favorite dessert?
Thanks to you, we were able to make yokan in the shape of a heron. The heron is called the bird that protects love, and yokan, which can be preserved for a long time, is considered a symbol of longevity. The first time I tasted this delicious treat was when I went for a walk with Tetsuo. The taste of yokan is the taste of happiness for me.
-
The Secret Word
Hanako
To free Naoko's mind, we need to call upon the memories of Tetsuo that lie deep within her. If you look closely at this brave woman, you can see what looks like charcoal marks on a hairpin. I examined it and...voila! Can you guess where this charcoal came from?
Do you see the charcoal on the end of the hairpin? One day, her uncle took her brush and inkwell so that Naoko could not contact Tetsuo. But she had strong feelings for Tetsuo, so she started to use the hairpin and charcoal to write letters to her boyfriend.
-
A Brief Eternity
Naoko
According to Mr. Ryu, in order to untie the "knot of the spell," I need to appeal to my strong feelings for Tetsuo. When I think of him, I am reminded of the fleeting nature of happy times. It is as unreliable as the petals of a swaying cherry blossom. Would you please collect some petals?
I put the petals that you collected into the sphere that Mr. Ryu gave me. When I hold it in my hand, you see, a memory comes back to me. It was the memory of the night I went cherry blossom viewing with Tetsuo. We only took a walk together for a few hours, but...oh, how I wish that happy time could last forever!
-
person who guards something (e.g. a doll)
Naoko
Even though my uncle objected, Tetsuo and I did not stop seeing each other. But I was worried that my uncle, who was a witchdoctor, might harm my beloved. So I gave Tetsuo a monkey-bo amulet. I am sure it was around here somewhere...please look for it with me!
The fact that the Sarubobo amulet was found means that Tetsuo was definitely here! But this amulet is in tatters...I have a bad feeling about this...I guess he got tired of being repeatedly begged to acknowledge their relationship. The uncle finally declared that he would make Tetsuo disappear. That night, his men put Tetsuo in a wheelbarrow and took him away!
-
Strategies for secret meetings
Naoko
As time passed, our feelings grew stronger and stronger. One day, however, my uncle found out about our relationship. He was furious! After that day, we were not allowed to see Tetsuo at all, but we came up with a loophole. There are clogs with animal footprints on them. Please give it here.
These clogs with footprints were a strange idea on my part! Tetsuo would wear these clogs when he passed through the garden to get to the secret meeting place. Then, thanks to the protrusion in the shape of animal footprints, there would be no trace of his passage, so his uncle would not know about the secret meeting. We even got to watch the sunrise together a few times.
-
A Star in the Palm of Your Hand
Naoko
Sorry for the long story. Are you bored? The first time I met up with Tetsuo was by the old pond. There were lots of fireflies that night and he showed me how to catch them. Come on, let's catch some of them. I'll tell you why later.
Thank you for catching fireflies with me! Even in a bottle, they glow dazzlingly like summer stars. According to legend, the light of a firefly has the power to break curses. When Tetsuo found out that my uncle was using a bad spell, he wanted to protect me at all costs.
-
The Sound of Encounter
Naoko
My life changed when I met and fell in love with Tetsuo. He was a mercenary and once saved my uncle's life. Somewhere around here, a sound arrow must have fallen. It is the artifact related to our meeting. Find it. I will tell you what happened.
These sound-producing arrows are intended to test the skill of the archer. The better the skill of the archer, the louder this arrow will fly. I went to see the archer who made the arrow fly with an incredibly loud sound, and it was Tetsuo-san. When our eyes met, we instantly fell in love.
-
Secrets of Success
Naoko
This place is not easy to find. You said you were led here by a lantern? I was brought here by this dog. If someone happened to find this place and spend the night, it would disappear with the building at dawn. Do you see the markings on that cursed stone?
The markings on this stone belong to my uncle. He is a spellcaster. When I was a child, I heard a story about my uncle who sold his mercenary soul to evil forces in exchange for wealth and success. I did not believe it at first, but one day I saw him performing a cursing ritual.
-
dark silhouette
Ryu
As we moved even closer to the building in the bamboo grove, this time the new lanterns were lit. You can see a bamboo fountain at the entrance. Grass is growing between the stones laid out on the path. Is this a dangerous place? We have no choice but to go in, one way or the other!
A lot of magic is at work here. The symbols engraved on the altar glow, and the higgledy-piggledy birds chirp as if to accompany a magical melody. You see a shadowy figure flickering and flashing behind an impulse. That silhouette standing surrounded by lanterns...it looks like a woman!
-
Silver light
Hanako
So you actually help the carp escape the darkness to prevent the prophecy I dreamed about from happening in reality? It's a bit unusual, but I think it's a smart approach. Let's give it a try right away. At the beginning of the dream, I use the reflection of the moonlight to show the carp the way. Could you help me find it?
This sacred container is filled with reflections of moonlight. It is no coincidence that today is the 15th day of the cycle to see the brightest full moon. Now, let's shine this light on the water...and lo and behold, the carp from my dream has appeared. So the prophecy was true!
