before and after
Detective
Buddy, I need your help. I found a mirror that reflects the past, but I'm not sure what it is. Because there wasn't one before! Find the mirror. Maybe it will help me find the spy who is watching me.
Where the hell did the spy guy find this stuff? This mirror reflects the past form of whatever is reflected in it. Only an artist, detective, or historian would have something like this...that is, someone who makes a living observing people and things.

tale-telling powder
Juliette
I was cleaning the detective's house while you were away and I accidentally dropped the box. Then something like powder spilled out of the box, and the powder took the shape of the detective's gun! That must be what they call "truth powder. I must have put it somewhere around here...
Truth-telling powder is what women of noble families used to learn other people's secrets. Who in the world would have such a thing... hacksaw! This powder isn't easy to come by. Only those with plenty of money and connections can obtain it. Perhaps it is a woman of high social standing who is after the detective...?
-
2 of 3
Detective
As a kid, I loved to spot a magician's tricks. Maybe that's what made me decide to become a detective. Do you know the secret of the magic trick with the magic tube? Go find it. Martha will do magic tricks with it!
Few people know that this trick is made up of not two, but three tubes. Well, that's true, but this still didn't unlock the secret of the mountain high hat.
-
White fluffy creatures
Juliette
Did you know that the hat and the rabbit have become symbols for magicians all over the world? Let's find a cute little white rabbit for Martha! If this magic trick doesn't work, I'll take the bunny back.
What a wonderful rabbit! Martha tried to get the bunny out of the mountain high hat she found at the theater, and she also tried the bunny she borrowed from a townie, but it didn't work.
-
Excellent eyesight and lots of feet
Detective
I have a pretty good idea who is watching me. But without proof, I can't question the guy. Come to think of it, I saw what looked like a spider with a camera on it when I was looking for something around here. I couldn't catch it then... can you catch it?
I'm glad you caught it! This thing is fast on the run, but it hardly makes a sound. The advantage of a device like this is that it can process large amounts of data. Whoever planted this thing on me must have needed a lot of information.
-
card trick
Cardsharp
Martha is used to card tricks, but I wish she would remember that cards have other uses. No, I'm not talking about poker! Go find a deck of cards to use for your magic tricks.
The playing cards usually used are a good tool for the fledgling magician. However, Martha's card magic doesn't seem to be able to solve the mystery of the mountain high hat.
-
Magic Dough
Valerie
When I was a kid I saw a few magic tricks with brightly colored handkerchiefs. One time the magician even pulled a handkerchief out of my ear! If I could do a handkerchief trick, maybe Martha could unlock the secret of the mountain high hat, too? Could you try to find the magician's handkerchief?
Magician's handkerchiefs are used in many magic tricks. The threads, hooks, and secret pockets are the seeds... but even this doesn't seem to give Martha any clues as to its usefulness.
-
an unexpected break (e.g. in a relationship)
Martha
To get to the mystery of the hat, you will need to recreate a special trick of the magician who wore the cap. Then we can solve part of the mystery in the theater. But we have to have the stage props. Find me the magician's ring. The seed is the simplest tool.
The magician's ring looks very solid, but one of them has a secret slit in it that is the seed. Let's see what happens...nope, it looks like this trick is not going to solve the mystery of the hat.
-
Prima Donna's signature
Valerie
Assuming I've started my career as a ballet dancer as well, I need a signature to write on a poster. I'd also need a ballet-themed "picture frame." Have you seen anything like that in town?
My picture looks so cool in this frame. Just like the real Lerina! I can already see me signing autographs for my fans. I can already see me signing autographs for fans, with a bouquet in my hand!
-
whispering
Juliette
Oh, Valerie, I'm so sorry to interrupt your...oh, I'm sorry to interrupt your.... Actually, I found something interesting! Stand right here. You hear the rumors about the people in town? There must be some kind of gossip machine around here. Keep looking!
This watch isn't just an ornament. It remembers everything it hears and tells its owner that information. It's definitely a woman keeping an eye on the detective. For some reason, that thought makes me very angry...
-
if you strain your ears
Detective
Here, put your ear close to the shell. Do you hear it? You hear the noise of the communicator, not the sound of the waves, right? But I don't see how such a colorful and prominent shell could be used for a dubious purpose. The spy guy must have seen this beauty and couldn't help but get his hands on it.
-
iron guardian
Carlos Light
Director Black and Layden are in hiding, but that dreadful dog won't stop tracking them. I have an idea. If we give them a surveillance drone, they can monitor the dog's movements from a distance and avoid it. Can you help us find a drone?
You have found the most powerful of the various drones! Not only can this get you up high in the sky, but you can operate it from quite a distance. It can also recognize moving objects even in foggy areas. Let's send this into the game world!
-
The smell of a loved one
Kira Woodville
The Flame Dogs are still persistently chasing Rayden and Director Black! Why don't you try to distract them with a violet perfume? Given its resemblance to the real Alligator, there is a great possibility that it will be distracted by the master's scent. Look for violet perfume in evidence!
I was lucky to find perfume mixed in with the violet evidence! Place this on one of the paths in the game and use the condition switch to change the direction of the wind. That way the scent will flow toward the dog, which might change its path!
-
Everyday is gorgeous
Valerie
I think a ballerina should look like her role, even when not on stage. Like wearing a "tulle skirt" like a tutu. Find a skirt like that.
Wow! This "tulle skirt" is so soft and fluffy, it looks like a cloud! Honestly, does it make me look fat?
-
Dancer's Jewel
Valerie
Real ballerinas wear different jewelry. Something like a toe-shoe amulet or pendant would be appropriate. Can you help me find something like that?
This "toe shoe pendant" is screaming, "This owner is a real ballerina!" I'm sure she is a ballerina! I'd love a ring to go with it... and earrings...
-
lesser cuckoo (Cuculus poliocephalus)
Valerie
You're the best, a real ballerina helping me gather what I need! You know what I think? Ballerinas should eat like ballerinas! Let's find some gingerbread or cookies that would be perfect for a ballerina.
Do you see it? This "Swan Gingerbread" has a crown on it. It represents the ballet Swan Lake! That's how I knew the gingerbread belonged to a real ballerina.
-
Don't listen to me!
Detective
Believe me, buddy. I didn't mean to drag you into this, but I didn't have a choice. I'm being watched by spies. I'm sure of it. I've got a lot of evidence here from previous investigations, a lot of gifts from people in town, but that shell is the only thing I don't recognize! Let's check it out.
-
Flower beds in full bloom
Conductor
The garden of forgotten toys is almost clean. All that's left is to water the flower beds. Have you seen a watering can anywhere? No? Well, I'm sure you'll find it soon. Bring it back.
It's a nice watering can that holds a lot of water. Thank you. Water the flower beds and it will all be over! I'm going to go tell the mayor that we are finally ready to welcome the garden watcher into the garden of forgotten toys. This will keep the garden looking nice.
-
fallen leaves
Conductor
Did you notice that tree in the garden of forgotten toys? That's no ordinary tree. Those leaves haven't even turned yellow yet, and they're already on the ground. I've gathered all the fallen leaves into one pile, but I can't get it out of the yard with just my hands. Bring a bucket, please.
What a nice bucket, it's big and holds plenty. Let's put all the dead leaves in here and haul them out of the yard. Then we'll have a clean place for the garden watcher to live! Isabelle said that when the garden warden comes here, he will also take care of the fallen leaves.
-
Trimmed bushes
Conductor
Garden watchers don't settle for clutter. The forgotten toy garden bushes have gone completely wild. It wouldn't hurt to try to get it into some semblance of shape. Truth be told, I have no idea where to find a pair of shears. Please help me find some, please.
What a great pair of pruning shears! Now you can trim those bushes in no time. Um, you can do it if you want to. I just wish the yard watcher would settle down here and do this job for me.
-
Useful tool containers
Valerie
I did it! I knew you would help me. I knew you would find me what I needed! I need a special bag for my toe shoes. I also need something else useful, like a lunch box. Just find me the right bag!
I'm impressed! Anyone who sees this bag will know I do ballet. And look. Look at this cute little amulet!
-
flames of death
Jack
Because of my laziness, a magical destructive fire blew out of the "Clock of Samhain". To stop time itself. The priest held that flame in check. He hoped I would sense it and be able to get to it in time. Find the chalice the priest was holding.
You've found the Chalice of Fire. The liquid of flame poured to the rim of this chalice is a terrible thing that stops time in the world. The priest held back the fire until I returned. For this, the clock turned him to stone.
-
Well-maintained pathways
Conductor
You're going to help me take care of my overgrown "garden of forgotten toys". Well, then, let's make sure we get this plan going. You're going to have to find a bear hand. That way we can do something about the weeds covering the path.
All right. You brought your bear hands. Now we can easily pull the weeds out of the path. Then the garden watchers can settle in here and the forgotten weeds in the toy garden will be cleared away!
-
overgrown garden
Conductor
The garden warden would protect the garden of forgotten toys from weeds and fallen leaves. But first, the garden must be kept clean and tidy. The garden guard only settles in clean areas. Bring a shovel. All the weeds need to be pulled.
I heard you found a shovel? Thank you! I didn't mean to give you any trouble, but I really appreciate your help. Now I can pull the weeds out of my garden.
-
Don't eat the lemon!
Juliette
Now, bring the lemons and grind them. You can make zest.
A tablespoon of lemon zest is all you need for a mask.
-
Voice of the Master
Carlos Light
The flame dog that is chasing Director Black and Layden in the game world looks exactly like Violet's dog, Alligator, in the real world. The real Alligator is loyal to Violet and very friendly, but what if the Flame Dog is the same exact thing? Let's use Violet's voice to get the dog's attention. Can you help me find a voice modulator?
While you were looking for the voice modulator, I found a recording of Violet's voice. Put this voice into the voice modulator and place it in the game at a location where the dog will pass. They will stop when they think their owner is calling them.
-
Ghosts that look just like the real thing
Kira Woodville
The flaming dog named "Alligator" that the game has created is about to catch up with Director Black and Layden. But we've come up with a way to trick him. Use the phantom generator to create the ghost of Director Black and confuse the dog. Look for that device!
This is what I was looking for! With this device, you can create a ghost that looks exactly like the real Director Black. The dog might mistake the ghost for the real one and chase after it!
-
Let's grate and chop.
Juliette
I also need a lemon. Two lemons are all I need. Actually, I don't want lemons per se, but lemon zest. Simple, isn't it? You grate the lemon zest on a small grater. You don't have a grater? Well, I have one in my kitchen.
Leave the grater there. I'll use it later.
-
Fish for your health
Juliette
I also need some fish oil. But I know it's hard, but I want the whole cod. I'll drain the fat from it and make a nice dinner with the rest of the meat.
How many kilos of this fish? That's enough to make a big enough dinner to serve to all my friends, not just the two of us.
-
Healthy green vegetables
Juliette
Next, give me some parsley. Not as much as cottage cheese.
Oops! You only needed the leaves of the parsley, not the roots. You have to cut it all off.
-
dairy products
Juliette
Remember that fanatic fan of mine? The one who sent me those mysterious letters about the mask? Unfortunately, I still can't even guess who that person is. But I can keep playing his game myself. Every girl should take care of her hands as much as she does her face. Hands seem to reveal a woman's true age... I'm going to make a nourishing mask for my hands to prevent that from happening. Give me some cottage cheese. It's official name is Full Fat Cottage Cheese.
Wow! That's enough cottage cheese to last us a year. If we have too much, we can just eat it.
-
quick snack
Alex
I think I might need a snack between meals. I think a crunchy pretzel would be just the thing. Find them.
I'll keep one pretzel for myself. Now you're all set with food for the trip.
-
Motionless Shadows
Jack
I still have no idea what Salem's kidnappers have to do with my story, though. Anyway, the priest was waiting for me at the "Samhain Watch." I was indulging in play and did not realize I had been summoned. Find me the sundial that was in the priest's possession.
Have you found the "strange sundial" with the unmoving shadow? When we did not answer the call of "Samhain's Clock," the laws of the material world began to break down.
-
Chinese food
Alex
I have an idea. Since we have water and a heating system, we can cook. Like wontons. Little Chinese stuffed dishes.
I don't feel like eating raw wontons and there is no point in cooking them now. Let's assume they pass the quality test.
-
Traces of Truth
Carlos Light
As I was thinking of ways to prove to Bureau Director Conrad that Director Black and Layden were not illusions created by the game, I suddenly remembered something my daughter Veera had told me. Find a fingerprinting kit. If you find one, I will show you how to make it useful.
This is a great fingerprinting kit! My daughter, Vera, studies fog, and I read in a document she put together. She said that fog can create illusions, but cannot reproduce even the smallest details. So, if the Director and Layden can take the fingerprints and show them to Conrad, they can prove that it is not an illusion!
-
Sign of an elite bureau member
Kira Woodville
Conrad is still blocking the way of the Director and Layden, and we must prove now that they are flesh and blood and not illusions! What if we ask Conrad to recall the events of the Security Service's past? Oh, by the way, the bureau members once wore sashes for ceremonial purposes. Find the red sash. There is an important story related to it.
This sash is a badge of honor. In the past, the Sheriff's Department used to hold parades, and only the best officers were chosen by Director Black to wear such a sash. I believe Conrad was one of them. If common memories come back to him, he may admit that Director Black is the real deal.
-
The one and only key
Carlos Light
Bureau member number 032, who is blocking the way of the two trapped in the game world, knew very little about Layden personally. So the only way to prove that Layden is real is to show him the special skills he possesses. Speaking of which, there are several unlit lamps in the game. Let's find the keys to the lamps and give them to Layden. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I put it...
This key can never be forged! Because I am the only one who has the technology to make this. If I give this key to Layden, he should be able to light the lamp and prove that he and Director Black are from the real world.
-
A well-deserved honor.
Kira Woodville
Tensions are running high in the gaming world. Conrad seems to think that Director Black and Layden are illusions sent by Violet to harm him. He must be convinced at all costs that this is not the case. Find the directive signed by Director Black when Conrad joined the Security Service.
I am glad you found the directive with the crest on it! Let's send this into the game immediately. If Director Black shows it to Conrad, he will be able to prove that it comes from the real world. Every member of the Security Bureau receives a special directive from the Director. So there is no way that Violet would know what was written in Conrad's directive!
-
common enemy
Kira Woodville
Agency member number 032 has probably been trapped in the fog for quite some time. That is probably why he distrusts Director Black and Layden; he needs to know that they are not illusions created by the fog. How about reminding him who the common enemy is? Would you be willing to search with me for one of the pieces of evidence that came out in the violet-related case?
They found wonderful evidence! This was clipped from a secret report addressed to Violet. There is no way she would put evidence against herself in the game. In other words, it is proof that Director Black is real in the game. I am sure that bureau member number 032 will understand.
-
Probability of Success
Kira Woodville
The fate of Director Black and Layden depends on the successful completion of the game in which they are trapped. But to do so, they need to get together some parts that are missing from the board. I am missing an action token that is essential to the game, can you help me find it?
Eight, nine...thank goodness! All tokens have been found! Now we have a better chance of ending the game. Board games are often played by the employees of the Sheriff's Department, as they train us to think outside the existing box. Let's hope we have enough imagination to help those two.
-
Switching conditions
Carlos Light
In order to help Director Black and Layden, the board must be repaired and conditions set. However, it appears that the main switch is missing from the panel section. Without it we cannot set up the game. Please help me find the switch!
You found the condition setting switch! Now you may be able to set the game. Very interestingly, it says in the rules book that with this switch you can set the weather and time! I have never seen a game so elaborate that such detailed conditions are taken into account!
-
Thinking heart
Kira Woodville
Carlos is right, this board game in which Director Black and Layden are trapped seems to have been created by very complex technology. But let's leave the admiration for later. In fact, the center of the game appears to be damaged, and the heart of the game seems to be missing. Let's look for it!
This heart has a very beautiful light. Thank you for finding it! After examining this wonderful device, I realized that it apparently feeds energy into the progression portion of the game. In other words, without this heart part, the game would not function at all.
-
Unusual energy
Carlos Light
Repairing a game board of this magnitude is not easy, but we are the only ones who can help Director Black and Layden. The board has space for a rather powerful battery. Could you help us find a battery that is tubular and has two contacts?
Thank you! The battery you found fits perfectly in the space provided on this game board. This will allow us to resume the game after repairing the damaged part! The turbine inside the battery is rotated by a sort of fog vortex. Very nice construction, don't you think?
-
Invisible details
Kira Woodville
Without repairing the game board, we cannot finish the game started by Violet and bring back Layden and Director Black who are trapped in the game world. First, let's take a closer look at the damaged parts of the board. It would be helpful to have a lens from the Sheriff's Department, so can you find that for us?
I see that you found the lens of the Sheriff's Office! I knew it had to be in the negotiation room. This is a fairly high magnification lens, so even the tiniest detail will not be missed. It should be possible to find the slightest crack in the board and repair it.
-
sudden change of circumstances
Kira Woodville
Little by little we learned what happened in the negotiating room. Director Black and Layden were playing board games with Violet. When did things suddenly change? The turn counter should tell us when the game stopped. Can you help us find it?
Thank you for finding our turn counter. It is much more beautiful than the ones we see in casinos and other places. It is obviously a handmade item. From what I can see, it looks like the game was abruptly interrupted after two turns after it started. I need to find out why.
-
Damaged Background
Carlos Light
Keira seems to think that the board game that Violet brought in is not a normal one. Let's see if that reasoning is correct. The piece you just found is missing the part where it was supposed to move next. Let's find it and examine it.
I see that you found the missing part! Still, I have never seen a game that looks so much like this city! Even the architectural style of the houses and the paving blocks on the roads look exactly alike. Very interesting...this game was definitely made by someone who knows the city well!
-
historical thread
Jack
The detectives believe that the Salem kidnappers are connected to my past. While I was indulging in play with the spirits, the bulk of my work was being done by my priests. I would search for the "time spool," the ritual instrument of the priest.
Thank you, my human friends. This "spool of time" is what my priests used to measure the course of history. I think you have figured it out by now, don't you? A priest is the guardian of the "Clock of Samhain.
-
Cruel Pleasures
Jack
When I became "King of Halloween," I learned all sorts of dangerous games. Was that revenge against me, by any chance? For example, I made sinful mortals walk down a hallway with a swinging "pendulum axe." Find me a piece of that infernal machine.
Look at the moonlight sparkling on the blade of this "pendulum axe"! The way I enjoy it has instilled fear in the hearts of my enemies. I am ashamed to say that it was my pleasure to make someone fear me.
-
night messenger
Jack
The detective seems convinced that the people who kidnapped Salem can come to my castle. He thinks he can find out who did it by examining the motive. He also says that the motive can be found by knowing the story of my reign. Hmmm, I wouldn't say I was a good "Night King" in the beginning. It would be hard to explain. Find an old helmet and you'll know all about it.
You found "The Night King's Helmet." How scary is that? He wore it and led a pack of "wild hunters" around all night long. The humans were terrified. That was fun!
-
lurking fear
Valerie
You may think I'm weird for saying this, but I think "fear" is a very important emotion. Ryu should be able to express it better! Otherwise, even if you wanted to explain to Aimi how you feel about being afraid of the dark or spiders, for example, you wouldn't be able to, would you? Actually, I have an idea. Can you help me wrap up a beckoning cat?
A beckoning cat is generally thought of as a symbol of good luck. But a beckoning cat in this wrapping can have a very different meaning. When Ryu accepts his fear and is able to express it, this cat's hand goes up.
-
Songs of Sorrow
Helen
Many things happen in our relationships with people. Not all of the feelings we have in those relationships are cheerful ones. What I want to share with Ryu is the emotion of sadness. It is not a bad thing, but we all try to avoid it... Let's find a flute that plays a sad song for Ryu.
Thank you very much! I feel sad when I hear the tone that this flute plays. I am sure that Ryu will be able to learn the feeling of sadness if he hears Aimi play this flute. For this flute has played many sad love songs in the past...
-
True Joy
Isabelle
I'm going to share my feelings of "surprise" with Ryu. I am sure Aimi gives him some kind of surprise every day, but he can't express his feelings like a human being at such a time. I want to give Ryu a wooden fish, can you help me make it? I'll let you know how it works out for me when it's finished.
Thanks for helping me make the wooden fish. I'm sure this will help Ryu learn the feeling of wonder. They say this little fish that lives in the mountain rivers has fortitude and can swim against the current. That's a lot of guts!
-
Emotional Explosion
Huntress
I'm going to share my feelings of "anger" with Ryu. We need to expose all our emotions to our loved ones... even the negative ones. To me, anger is like fireworks. Can you find me a fire flower? It would be a perfect gift for Ryu.
You found the fire flower! With this, I can teach Ryu how to feel "anger". To me, anger is like a firework. Once you let it explode, it goes away. The important thing is to keep it from harming others. Besides, if you keep anger bottled up inside, you will burn yourself out one day.
-
Present from Hanako
Hanako
The people of the city are really generous to want to share their feelings with Mr. Liu. I am sure Mr. Liu will learn to express his feelings more skillfully. As I said, I will share my emotions with him along with the traditional fruits. Could you please pick out a delicious muskmelon with me?
Thank you for choosing these delicious melons! Melons are popular as gifts in Japan. But it would be better to wrap it in such a way that the contents are not known. That way, Ryu-san will be able to feel the "joy" that is the emotion when receiving a gift or a surprise!
-
Permanently closed window
Conductor
My last hope to turn it into a home was at the ticket office. I believed that if I went there, I could buy a ticket back to my world. Frankly, I didn't care where I went as long as I could get out of this city. I was just hoping that the nightmare I was in would end. Wasn't there a ticket office around here?
Yes, this ticket office is closed. The same as the day I came to this town. Since that day, this window has never been open. In other words, I can't leave this city.
-
local time
Conductor
When the train that brought me to the city disappeared, I noticed a clock with four dials. It was the kind of clock you'd find in an international train station. Find the clock. It will tell you the time in the world I was in before.
That day, the time on this dial matched the time on my watch. It was morning time, and the city was about to go dark. When I saw that, I realized I was a long way from home.
-
The Basis of Life
Alex
We have to bring enough water as well as food. We are flying over the ocean, so there is no place to refuel. Bring clean fresh water.
Cold and tasty...good water. I guess we can leave soon.
-
royal burger
Alex
Food for the trip needs variety as well as a full stomach. Shall I bring a hamburger? They're perfect for a quick snack during the trip.
I'm starting to get kind of hungry. I've tested the balloon, but not the food. I'm going to try a quick sample of these burgers.
-
Italian cooking
Alex
I worked hard, built a hot air balloon, and finished the test. But needless to say, we can't just take to the skies without food. Let's bring pizza. We can heat it up on the burner.
That looks like a tasty pizza. Where in town did you find this stuff? I'm not hungry, but I'm craving one right now.
-
Near Finale
Detective
That fateful day I came to this city, I was investigating the case of a prisoner who had escaped from prison. I found a diary in his cell with the name of a collector written in it! And there was also a strange symbol on his prison uniform. See that familiar style?
Having copied the symbols left on the prisoner's uniform, I felt I was one step closer to solving the disappearance. All that remained was to catch and interrogate the man I called "the collector.
-
Criminal footprint
Detective
I showed some occultists the symbols left in evidence. They said it was a symbol they had never seen before, but they were obviously scared of something... why would they need to be so scared of a crate of whiskey left behind by a missing trafficker? Let's find out.
Following the symbols left on the crate led me to a man called "The Collector. I was happy to get a clue, but I never thought it would lead me to the city of shadows.
-
Arrived Recipient
Conductor
There are a number of oddities in how I ended up in this city. In an empty train station, I found several telegrams addressed to me. But there was nothing written on them. I took them home with me, but I've forgotten where I put them... Could you help me find the telegrams?
See, there's nothing on the message, right? All you see is the recipient, i.e., my name. The city tried to call me, and they succeeded.
-
lost article
Conductor
I wonder why I was chosen to guide that train... By the time it reached the last stop, the train was empty. All the passengers had already gotten off. And when we arrived at the station, there was no one there. People seemed to have disappeared without anything... some luggage was still on the carts. See how many suitcases were left there?
See, I told you, didn't I? The luggage is still here. That day, I was looking around to see if there were passengers who had forgotten their luggage. Then the train I was on disappeared like a phantom.
-
Mystical Signs
Detective
As I later found out, the disappearance of a certain mafia boss brought me another step closer to the city of shadows. He and his Mauser gun both had strange symbols left on them. Find that gun. I'll show you the symbol.
The symbols left on the missing person's belongings were important evidence, but the evidence was too unrealistic for me to mention it to my colleagues. As a result, I was left alone to track down the missing person.
-
First Steps
Conductor
Right, the detective wants to know how I got to the shadow city? No, that's okay. I've got nothing to be guilty of. Let me explain how I got to this damned place from the very beginning. My first steps in the city were on a train platform. I remember finding a gargoyle gutter there. I'm pretty sure it was around here somewhere. Look for it.
You see these sculptures all over the city, but the day I arrived here, I was really surprised. I thought I was heading for some run-down old train station, but instead I arrived at a station that had been lavishly decorated as if it were a resort or something.
-
Forever in your heart.
Valerie
The wedding between the lady and the gatekeeper will begin soon! I'm also remembering a Hawaiian tradition. The lovers pour sand sprinkled with colors into a bottle at the same time to symbolize their united destiny. Can you help me prepare that?
The gatekeeper and the lady may be different colors, but they can share a life together by pouring sand into one bottle. Nothing can separate them, just as mixed sand cannot be separated.
-
Traces of collision
Kira Woodville
I still don't have a clear idea of what happened in the negotiating room. I would love to get any clues, no matter how small... Speaking of which, there were two piece-like objects next to the board game... and they looked a lot like Director Black and Layden. Let's check them out a bit.
Although some of the pieces are slightly melted by the fog bomb explosion, these pieces are indeed Layden and Director Black! A piece that looks exactly like a player in a board game is... odd, don't you think? I will have to take a closer look at this game that Violet has prepared.
-
Crafted dice
Carlos Light
It seems certain that something happened in the negotiating room. Let's find out what happened while the evidence is fresh. Oh, this...the fog sensor readings are going up. It seems to be reacting to something under the chair. I see something that looks like a dice.
These are the dice from the board game in the example! From the sensor readings, it seems that these dice were filled with plasma released from the fog. And when someone threw it on the board, it exploded. Could this be the work of Violet?
-
Broken Rules
Kira Woodville
Negotiations with Violet were probably not peaceful. We need to examine all the details closely to understand a little bit about what happened in this room before we arrived. That globe container over there is open... doesn't that look suspicious? Let's get right to it and find out!
Look at the shape of this globe's secret hiding place. It looks like there was a pistol inside. You can also see traces of relatively new gunpowder in the fabric of the inside lining. Does this mean that someone was planning in advance to interfere with peaceful negotiations? I hope Director Black and Layden are safe...

Behind the crow's door
Kira Woodville
The entrance to the negotiation room is behind that bookcase. The director told us how to open the door. First, push this book, then rotate the crow statue hanging on the wall. Then...voila, the bookshelf moves and a passageway appears. Now, let's hurry up and enter!
The room is empty, but the fireplace is still burning. It looks like there were people in the room just a few minutes ago. This is...the board game that Violet suggested we play during the negotiations. Did the negotiations actually take place? The fact that the air is a little stagnant means that someone may have used a fog bomb. What the heck happened here?

Maiden Fruit
Sophia
I always try to have apples in my dressing room because they give me energy when I am tired. I would love to have some apples sprinkled with gold dust to give it that ancient Greek feel. I know this is a bit of an unusual request, but could you help me find some?
You found an apple very similar to the one found in the garden of Atrath's daughter, Hesperides! Once upon a time, Heraclese, who had to procure golden apples for King Eurystheus, carried the sky instead of Atrath and sent him to fetch them. This is called his "Eleventh Merit.

Love Poems
Sophia
I'm stumped! I was going to write lyrics about ancient Greek sculptors, but I can't find a single notebook in my dressing room! I need a notebook like the one the Greek poet Sappho had. Let's find something similar!
I know, I knew I couldn't find such a notebook...huh? You found it? That's wonderful! It is said that Sappho, a great poet, drafted her poems on a special wax plate bound in her notebook. The Greeks called it a diptych.

Inspiration for Greek Architecture
Sophia
I need a dressing room with the right atmosphere for a beautiful song about Ancient Greece. Mr. Stone has provided me with an unusual armchair shaped like a column head. Will you help him carry them to the dressing room?
Thanks for bringing the armchairs! They look just like the ones on the marble columns, but they are very soft to the touch. The column heads are the most typical element of ancient Greek architecture. I'm sure it will inspire you!
-
Gentle light of the lamp
Sophia
If I want to get into a romantic mood to write a song about Ancient Greece, I can't use an ordinary lamp. The people of Crete used to light very beautiful oil lamps, and I wonder if something similar is available in the city. You might be able to find one.
Well, what a classy oil lamp! Light it the same way the ancient Greeks did. Fill the inside with oil, then put the wick in. Then light it. The warm light of the oil lamp seems to get your creative juices flowing!
-
Flowers by the Sea
Sophia
If the two of us got to work, we could transform the dressing room into an Ancient Greek space in no time at all! Oh, by the way, I always get flowers from my fans when I go on stage for concerts, but it would be boring to live in a plain, white vase, wouldn't it? Can't you find an antique vase in town?
This is...not a real antique vase! And you even put dried flowers inside. How sweet! The smell of these flowers reminds me of the coastal plain. The curvy pattern and the scent of the sea are going to inspire me to write a song about ancient Greece.

Light coming from the heavens
Sophia
Olivia's statue has almost all of the gold leaf off of it. Veera checked the ingredients and she said real gold leaf was used! I have all the materials I need. But I don't have the tools to apply it. Can you help me find a special brush to apply the gold leaf?
Well, I'm surprised you found it so quickly! The bristles are very soft, so it looks like I can apply the gold leaf evenly. The gold leaf I'm using is very special. It absorbs the sun's rays and does not lose its shine over time.
-
molten sun
Vera
You made me a new part. And you did it very well! Now I just need something to glue this to the body. I think it would be best to use amber resin, but where do you think I could find some?
It's amazing how you find so much amber resin! I'll warm it up right away. Once it's the right consistency, apply it to the surface, attach the pieces, and wait a bit. By the time the resin is dry, it should be firmly attached.
-
Delicate work
Vera
When restoring an old piece of Olivia's work, you have to use special tools or you could cause further damage. It's best to remove the pieces that have been damaged so badly that they cannot be restored. I'm sure I have some tools for that around here somewhere...
You found a diamond cutter! You've found a part that is beyond repair, so let's carefully cut it out and replace it with a new one. Leave this task to me. Do you have any experience with stones?
-
Unusual stones
Vera
I have heard that there is a sculptor who restores statues using a living stone that only exists in this city. If we can find the stone, it would surely be useful in restoring Olivia's statue. Come on, let's go find it!
This living stone has a wonderful regenerative capacity. If it cracks or breaks, it can repair itself. I will powder it and sprinkle it gently on Olivia's statue.
-
Missing fashionistas
Detective
No connection was found between the missing people. No ransom was demanded; on the contrary, expensive items were left at the scene, untouched. Oh, by the way, there was a woman's hat in evidence. Have you seen one around here?
See, this is the latest New York fashion. What woman wouldn't want a hat like this? But the woman who wore it has disappeared. And she left behind a strange symbol on the brand's tag.
-
The Mystery Case
Detective
Buddy, the story of how I came to this city is not as mysterious as my guides think. I was investigating missing persons cases in New York City. Each case was completely unexplainable, but I just couldn't give up. I found evidence, some of which must have made it to this city. That's what we're looking for.
Yes, I just couldn't give up after evidence like this. The child in the stroller was loved by her parents. But then he disappeared. The stroller was empty, and all that was left was a strange symbol.
-
Special Poisons
Vera
I'd better restore one of the oldest and most valuable pieces of Olivia's work first. This piece is in pretty bad shape with fog mold growing on it, but I know how to deal with it. Can you find me some golden moss? It should be growing under the stone, out of the sun.
You found twilight moss! Before restoring the statue, first wipe it down with this. This moss releases a special toxin when it dries, and only this toxin can remove the misty mold that covers the statue. So let's get started with the preparations.
-
Sources of creativity
Sophia
Thanks to you, I have everything I need for the ritual to get my energy back. However, the wheelchair I got is a bit old and somehow it doesn't work right. Maybe with your tools I can fix it. May I borrow it for a while?
It's good to see the wheelbarrow working! The colorful clay, mixed with a drop of inspiration, forms so smoothly in my hands... well, look at this. A very nice vessel has been created! And as I enjoyed the process of making this, it seemed to revive my energy and ideas!
-
string of paper
Sophia
I'm sure the ritual of ceramics will bring back my energy! But I'm worried that I might break the piece when I remove it from the potter's wheel. I need a string of kunum to make this process go smoothly.
You found the string of Khnum! I read in a pottery book that "Khnum" is the name of the god who is said to have created man on the potter's wheel. Using this string, the work can be neatly removed from the potter's wheel. I'm going to use it for my own work!
-
Scent of Heaven
Sophia
I never knew kneading clay could be so much fun. Let's pray that the pottery ritual will make us more energetic. Oh yes, let's burn some Tibetan incense so we can concentrate on our work. Could you help me find some together?
Well, you found some great leaves! This brings back warm fuzzy feelings as I recall how my mother would put the dishes with the fern leaf pattern on them on the dinner table. We would all sit around the table and chat over dinner. I miss those innocent childhood days...
-
The Power of Art
Sophia
I think a pottery ritual would help me get my creative juices flowing again, but I need inspiration to do the ritual in the first place... and that's exactly what I'm lacking right now. Can you help me find just a little bit of inspiration to make this ritual happen?
I'll add the drop of inspiration you found to the clay. This will be enough to create something beautiful in the ritual of ceramics. And then more inspiration will come from there...that's the power of art! What do you usually get inspiration from?
-
Depth of Color
Sophia
I'd like to do the ritual as soon as possible so I can recover. When I do pottery, I am constantly touching the clay, so I want to use a clay that is full of positive energy. I've heard that a different kind of colorful clay would work well for this. Can you help me find some?
Well, you found a very nice shade of clay! They say the more colors there are, the stronger the positive energy contained within. It is said that this kind of clay can be found in power spots, but where are the power spots in this city?
-
rainbow
Rayden Storke
This is wrong. Ms. Olivia should not take Sophia's place. Is there no other way? I'm going to go talk to her. In case I fail to persuade her, you go and find a color filter. According to Mr. Stone, we can't bring Sophia back to life without them.
Thank goodness you found the "life" color filter! From the looks of it, it seems to have faded a bit over the years. Will it still work properly? I guess we'll find out when we put this on the lens of the "Gorgon" camera.
-
appeal to one's heart
Alford Stone
Olivia has decided to become a stone statue instead of Sophia, but I am really not worried. I have tried to convince her to stop, but she just keeps repeating that she wants me to install a camera... According to the instructions I just read, we need to install something called a "pupil" lens, so let's find it.
Just as I thought...it was Shirley who stole the "pupil" lens! Thank goodness she left it here. With this lens, you can remove the effect of the camera. I am sure that when Mortimer calmed down and thought about it, he realized that he had created something horrible.
-
The Sprouting of Life
Martha
You're missing the last element needed for the liberation ceremony. The source of eternal life. There is only one place in the city where you can find it. The forest of spirits. I've asked the lady to send me an onion for the ritual. Can you open the package with the onion?
Thank you! Onions from the forest of spirits have been sprouting every spring for hundreds of years. This energy will help the girl's body awaken when her spirit returns. Unfortunately, the onions wither at the end of the ritual, but it's a necessary sacrifice.
-
The Beginning of Everything
Olivia
When I become a stone statue, I want people to realize that it is me. I have dedicated my entire life to one thing. I have dedicated my entire life to only one thing: creating beautiful things. Can you find the first ornament I made with my own hands? I'm going to hold it in my hand.
Thank you for finding my first piece. It all started with this ornament. This wood carving caught my mentor's eye, and I found the sculpture that would become my life's purpose.
-
A Guide from Heaven
Martha
When a person is born, a star shines in the sky to illuminate their whereabouts. During the ritual, we use a bouncy wheel to interact with the star that is tied to the captive soul. Ask them to give you the strength to help the soul escape. Bring the cart.
I love it. This bouncer is essential to the ritual. The star guides have an invisible yet powerful connection to the souls trapped in phylacteries. They will empower the weary soul so that it can return to its body.
-
Inevitable Risks
Martha
To open the phylactery and release the soul, I'll have to use some ancient and dangerous magic. During the ritual, I will prick my finger with a bone needle and drop blood on the magical seal of the Order of Shadows that has been placed over the phylactery to prevent it from opening. Could you please go find me a bone needle?
Oh, thank you. This bone needle would be perfect for the ritual. I don't want to resort to blood magic, but I don't see any other way. We have to accept the risk in order to open the phylactery and release the poor soul.
-
Soul Guidance
Helen
Hanako-san brought us a gourd from the Japanese garden. Inside it is a soul guide, which protects the girl's soul in case it is intercepted along the way. However, I have lost the gourd in the commotion. Could you please search for it with me?
Thank you very much! I would not have found the gourds without your help. How in the world did it slip under the cabinet? I pray that this will not cause any problems for the soul on its way back to the body. Oh, and I wish this would send a message to my father.
-
The Bond Between Body and Soul
Martha
The phylactery is only supposed to be opened by its creator, but I will try to circumvent that rule by using ancient magic. The ritual to release the girl's soul must take place at an altar made of living wood. Can you help me find it?
You found it! This altar is perfect for the ceremony. It is very important that the tree is alive. It will strengthen the connection between body and soul, helping the soul to return and awaken the girl who has been asleep for years.
-
toll of a bell
Roger Doubledeal
Help! The bells have been ringing all day and it's driving me crazy. I went to complain that I thought it was the sound of the big bell at Martha's ancestral abode, but it's the fog express bell, shining and ringing nonstop. Remove it!
This bell started ringing last night when the light spread out in the fog, but it seems that some pieces of light wandered into the bell and kept ringing. What, you're saying this is a piece of my soul? Hmmm...okay, I've changed my mind. Give me back the bell. No? What the hell is going on?
-
Melody of the Soul
Detective
I've found another key to solving the mystery. Last night I heard a certain melody repeating from the basement of the church. I went downstairs and found a gramophone. A piece of my soul was playing a record! I hid the gramophone, but I don't know where it went. Can you help me find it?
Thanks, buddy. I would have been in trouble without you. Do you hear that melody the gramophone is playing? It's as if it's gouging my heart. I hid the gramophone and then went looking for you so I wouldn't be driven mad by this melody. Why are we moving to another place?
-
Nice hair.
Olivia
I know this may sound selfish...but when I bring Sophia back to life, I want to be a stone statue with a nice hairdo. I know it's a mess in here, but could you please find my hairpin with my glass beads on it?
Thank you! I was looking for this hairpin. It was made by a man who trained under the same master. Before I could tell him how I felt, the fog came and I couldn't see him anymore... but this hairpin will adorn my stone statue nicely.
-
Muse Costumes
Olivia
I hope I'm wearing a nice dress the moment I press the shutter of my camera and become a stone statue instead of Sophia. That's my last wish. I have a dress I've been saving for the solemn event. Will you help me find it?
Isn't it a beautiful dress? I always dreamed of one day having an exhibition of the best works of art that I would never forget once I saw them. I saved this dress for that day. Soon I will be a stone statue in such an exhibition.
-
black snow
Detective
If you were searching all over the city for the light of a lost soul, guess what you'd find? A snow globe. No, no, no, listen! It's got the same thing inside as the church in the center of town, but the soul fragments are wandering around the church trying to escape the black snow. I'll show you!
I told you. This is not just a church snow globe. And it's cold! My gut tells me that this is a tool used for some kind of witchcraft. Let's take this to Martha before dark magic extinguishes the light of the poor girl's soul.
