stone that warns of danger
Abbot Paku
I have learned many interesting facts about the violet flower, but I still don't know anything about how it makes me angry. I have a ring that changes color to tell me when danger is approaching. Let's say I put it close to the flower...it's funny. I don't remember taking the ring off, but I can't find it anywhere. Can you look for it with me?
Did you fall next to the flower in the example? I remembered. I took the ring off to do an experiment, and it seems I forgot it while I went to call you. If there is something dangerous nearby, the stone in this ring will glow to tell you. When I placed this next to the flower... instead of glowing, it darkened in color and cracked!
-
Life and Death of Flowers
Abbot Paku
I can't say for sure if the violet flower has the power to make people angry until I do a proper study. The flower sample I have is very similar to the one Violet had. They are exactly the same in appearance, but let's find out what the difference is. Please bring me a sample of my flower.
The two flower samples you brought me now look quite different. The ordinary violets wilted as soon as they were placed next to the violet flowers, even though they were picked at the same time. And the violet flower, on the other hand, looks even fresher. What on earth has happened?
-
Flowers blooming in the mist
Abbot Paku
Was it the flowers that made Violet so angry? As soon as I picked up that flower I felt an anger that I rarely feel. Let's quickly examine it. This flower apparently likes fog. I put a petal in a jar of mist and it sprouted from it. Here, look at this!
I put the petals in a jar and within a few hours they sprouted! I have seen plants that grow in fog react similarly before. So it is safe to assume that this flower was picked in an area covered in deep fog. It must have some unusual characteristics.
-
your Highness
Mayor
The detective's idea of luring Mr. N. out with a bad act and putting a magical "crown of genius" on him seems outlandish, though. But let's help, shall we? Kings in Shakespeare wore traditional crowns, didn't they? Can you help me find one?
So what role should he play in the detective's screenwriting debut? Macbeth with a crown? The spirit of Hamlet's father? I should be the one to write the opening monologue...
-
Elegance and precision
Conductor
Icy has already begun to plot a general course of action. Icy is already plotting a course for where the Snow Queen is hiding Nicholas. I think the boy deserves what's coming to him. Oh well. Let's help Icy with his plan. Find me that magical astronomical device.
Icy is going to use this "magic astronomical instrument" to find the exact location where Nicholas is. I don't know all the details. I don't know much about magic.
-
Elf Mischief
Cardsharp
What an interesting idea! What a bad act to piss off Mr. N! Martha is preparing a magic crown to trap him. Then I shall play King Oberon in this farce. Bring me the elven grass crown!
It is the "Elven Grass Crown" of King Oberon, isn't it? He was as cunning as we are. King Midas, who turned anything he touched into gold, wanted to do it, but his crown could not be found. Gohon, "Bad meeting on a moonlit night"?
-
Active light
Martha
Icy has a number of sophisticated machines. With them, we should be able to find Nicholas through the stars and the magical trail. But they don't seem to have enough power. I'll gather some Star Fireflies. That will enhance the Christmas magic.
With all these "star fireflies," we'll have enough power to power your Christmas guidance equipment. Don't worry. These bugs won't affect you. They just provide light.
-
King of Tragedy
Conductor
I hear the detectives have come up with a plan to fish out that crazy screenwriter. I'm all for setting the bait. Then let's do it with a straight face. The only thing I can think of is King Lear from school. Can you find his crown for me?
Is this the "King Lear's crown" from Shakespeare? Hmmm...let's try it on. Now, how am I going to do it... "Blow, wind, rage, blow! I need some vocal practice. My voice is too weak.
-
Long live Caesar!
Detective
Mr. N. thinks he is a genius. A bad performance will irritate him. The plan is simple. Five volunteers would put on the crown of props and give a bad performance. Then Nathaniel would happen. So he would come out to stop the act. Martha would be waiting for him with a few surprises. First, find the Helmet of the High King.
This is the Helmet of the High King! This role is just right for me. Kneel, slaves. Witness the power of my empire! I like it.
-
Valuable tools
Conductor
But even with that device, we were unable to find a portal to get out of the city. We even tried to improve it with an artifact... Speaking of artifacts, there is one more thing we tried. Can you bring me the golden one there?
This was a very ordinary train nail, but the artifact turned it gold. It's like a magic wand, instantly repairing the tracks.
-
Big Changes
Conductor
Seems like getting out of this city is not easy. I've noticed that this city is alive and influencing everything that exists in it. I've noticed that everything has new properties. Find the key to the train. You'll see what I mean.
This was a nondescript key that turned into a multi-tool with a wide range of uses. I used it to build a handcart, and it also helped me install a device that predicted when the portals leading to the city would open.
-
Help from the Universe
Detective
The Snow Queen's magic is interfering with Icy's search for the machine. We'll never find the boy! We need to find a pocket planetarium. That star projector will help us find where Icy found him.
How small is this Icy pocket planetarium? I could enhance the Christmas Witch's calculations and look up the star series for Nicholas!
-
The World from the Sky
Juliette
My dear friend, you can still save Nicholas! Even if his heart has been turned to ice. Icy is working on a complex machine and he asked me to find a "celestial globe" for him. Can you find it?
Dear friends, a "celestial globe" is something completely different from a regular globe! Look, Icy's magic made some dots appear on the "celestial globe"... all of them are potential locations where Nicholas might be.
-
Handcart Journey
Conductor
The reporter who brought me to the city has vanished without a trace, like a phantom. That said, I couldn't walk along the tracks to change it. But I could find tools and parts at the station to build a handcar. That's what you have to look for.
This thing is not as sturdy as it looks. I waited for the light to turn green and drove the handcart. I drove for a long time... and then I found myself back at the station.
-
Signal Signaling
Conductor
I was saddened when I realized that the map had changed. Because I could no longer locate the city. But in fact, this was my chance to get out of the city! Because the change in the location of the tracks meant that there was a possibility of a way out of the city. Okay, let's take a look at the signaling system.
You see those flashing lights on the signaling devices? Every once in a while, a signal comes on to indicate that the road is open. I figured that was the time to get out of town.
-
Beacon of Christmas
Icy
They need to rescue Nicholas before Santa Claus returns from his Christmas trip. Santa would die of shock if he knew his nephew was gone! The trace of Nicholas' heartbeat is far away. But there is a "star detector" in town. We can do something with that. Find the detector!
It's amazing! With this "star detector" we will be able to find Nicholas. Uh...okay! The detector caught Santa's nephew's heartbeat far away.
-
Effective support
Cardsharp
I guess I should do something for the guide. If he's willing, he could give the good luck charm some positive energy! This card scammer doesn't know how to support his friend, but maybe he can give him a snowman figurine instead. Would you go look for it?
You found a snowman ornament! The guide said he and his daughter made a snowman in the backyard every Christmas. The memories of his hometown should fill the guide's heart with cheer.
-
Useless map
Conductor
Yeah, I sure would like to get out of the city. I have family waiting for me over there...in fact, I have three daughters. When I got to town, the first thing I did was look up the route map. I wanted to know where I was and how to get back to where I was. Could you go find me some old route maps?
I've been using this map for a long time now, but it has changed from city to city. It took me a while to figure out that the map changes every day. Maybe this city is drifting...
-
Caring from the Heart
Cardsharp
Who else do I have to please to fill my lucky charm with the power of happiness? Come to think of it, when Isabelle told me about her bad luck so far, I didn't take her seriously. She won't let me hug her now, but maybe she'll accept a Christmas tree ornament that symbolizes a hug. Can you go find it for me?
Oh, isn't it a wonderful decoration? It's a symbol of hugs between friends. And while you're at it, why don't you help Isabelle decorate the Christmas tree? That might make her even more happy...gosh, all for a good luck charm, of course.
-
Cozy and warm
Cardsharp
Oh, I haven't thanked Martha for all the help she's given me. Let's give her something now. That way, her happy feelings will power my good luck charm. Speaking of gifts that spiritualists love...yes! I'll give her a warm candle!
Okay, I think I found a warm candle! Good idea on my part. Martha has a lot of candles, but I'm sure she doesn't have one with this kind of ambiance. A knit wrapped candle would provide cozy warmth to the room. I'm sure Martha would love it!
-
Excellent conduction band
Hanako
Activating the chi flow in my house is not an easy task. However, there are several things that can be used as conduction strips to collect different energies. Chests of drawers, for example, are perfect for this purpose. If you look for them together, I am sure you will find them easily!
Thank you for your cooperation! Thanks to the chests you found, chi is already flowing into the house. It is believed that each drawer of the chest contains a rich yang qi that is brought in by the precious metals and wood that are the materials.
-
bright fish
Hanako
I need a strong conduction strip to attract the purest energy to balance the chi in my home. A good quality ceramic teapot should be available for this purpose. For example, a kyusu in the shape of a carp. Would you please find one?
It seems that the spirits of fortune are on our side. The koi teapot you have found for us is overflowing with light energy. Since ancient times, it has been believed that the carp possesses a divine power that allows it to swim against the flow of fate. If there is any creature that can correct the flow of chi, I can think of no other than the carp.
-
Little Guardian Goddess
Hanako
Balancing my chi is not easy, but it is necessary to heal my house. Some time ago, I had a dream in which I found a "Gosho doll" in my room. Maybe it was a sign of something. You may wonder why I am saying this, but could you please look for that Gosho doll with me?
I can't believe I found the Gosho doll from my dream! I will take this home with me so that my home will be a comfortable place. The energy of the Gosho dolls is a wonderful boon, which is why the royal families of the Edo period gave them to the houses of their allies.
-
A reliable good-luck charm
Hanako
I am not worried that the chi in this house continues to decrease. We have to fix this situation somehow. In fact, for a long time I have wanted to place a table in the shape of a ginkgo tree in my room. The leaves of the sacred ginkgo tree are a symbol of good luck. Do you know where I can find such a table?
Yes, this is exactly the kind of table I was looking for! This would help balance the chi that flows through my home. Since ancient times, people who preached spiritual teachings knew that the ginkgo leaf invites good luck and friendship. They are sometimes used as a good luck charm.
-
A kind word
Cardsharp
Unfortunately, the amulet doesn't seem to be working yet. Martha says I need to please the people who always have kind words for me...come to think of it, Juliette is always nice to me! Yes, let's find a Christmas card and write a message to her on it.
Oh, you found some pretty gorgeous Christmas cards! Now all I have to do is write a message inside....and voila, I've done it! I can just see Juliette's surprised face when she finds out this came from me! I'm looking forward to... no, I mean... looking forward to the amulet's power being restored!
-
What protects and supports the house
Hanako
First, I would like to revitalize the flow of chi by updating the wall decorations. When the walls are sturdy and beautifully decorated, chi will flow into the house like a stream into a great river. Find an elegant hanging scroll and decorate your home with it.
The bamboo hanging scroll you found radiates very powerful yang energy. Bamboo has long been considered a symbol of longevity and happiness! This hanging scroll should balance and strengthen the chi flowing through the walls of your home and bring you happiness.
-
Cute smiley face
Cardsharp
Okay, I'm going to make the people of the city happy to restore the power of the talisman! Valerie smiles a lot at this card scammer. I'll give her the smiling mug I've seen recently. Valerie likes funny things. Can you help me find the mug?
Thanks for helping me find my smiley mug, man. Actually, I have another great idea! I'm going to put cocoa in the mug to make Valerie even more happy with her gift. Cocoa is her favorite. Pretty good idea, right?
-
Candy scented from the dark
Valerie
The sun is starting to set and the fog is getting thicker, but I still can't find the patissier. But I can't help feeling he's close by...you know, I can smell the licorice! I have a thing for licorice candies. Let's find out where the patissier left it. It can't be far.
It wasn't easy to find dark-colored candies at dusk, but you did a great job! You haven't seen the pastry chef yet, have you? It's so dark. No wonder he showed his footsteps with the candy. I'm getting some goosebumps... can you hold my hand?
-
Obake no Sweets
Valerie
I'm kind of worried about the pastry chef. We have to find him quickly. Without his candy, Halloween would be ruined! We'd better check carefully so we don't miss a single clue to the candy he left behind. Hey, what's that in the bushes? Is it a ghost? I'll wait here, why don't you go take a look?
Yay! You found a strawberry wobble! These are so good, I can't wait to try them. But most importantly, this is a hint as to where the pastry chef is. But still, he's taking a very strange route. Where the hell is he going? I'm going to find out.
-
Veil of Darkness
Martha
You believed Jacob's story that the City of Shadows exists. He told you that the only way to get there was through a portal. According to the spirit's story, you created a device that would lead you to the City of Shadows. And you went through the portal with it. It should be around here somewhere, so look for it.
This device is useful because it allows me to see things in the dark. But it seems that it is not this device that brought you to this city. I sense some unseen force is preventing me from obtaining vital information...
-
Fog experiment
Martha
The spirits are getting anxious. I heard that you and Jacob conducted a dangerous experiment to try to get to the city. Oh, my God... you tried to create a device that creates fog! Let me see it!
Oh, good. So it's just a normal fog that this device produces. But how did Jacob know about the strange fog that exists in the City of Shadows? He too had lost his memory and could not explain how he knew about the fog? That's strange...
-
Phantom coordinates
Martha
They say you were a member of an association of lovers of mysticism called the Secret League. Do you remember? According to the spirits, you were there to engage in discussions and do calculations. Jacob gave you a device. See if you still have it.
This is a logarithmic system. And it seems to perform better than most. I tried to use it to determine the number of the shadow city, but the city was always in motion... wasn't it?
-
Music played
Martha
I heard it was Jacob who first told you about the shadow city. I first met him in...well, a club. There was music playing that I had never heard before, and I couldn't quite make out the whispers of the spirits. Can you confirm where this music is coming from?
The spirit told me that this machine has a hidden secret. This thing doesn't just play sounds, it can record them too. I hear someone speaking... the words "secret alliance.
-
Mysterious Encounters
Martha
There is nothing to be nervous about. I am an experienced medium, so I am used to communicating with spirits. Look, they are already in this room...let's get started with the seance. I see...you followed Jacob into the portal. Were you able to see him after all? The spirits are whispering something about a "mysterious map. Do you know what they're talking about? Oh, something fell out of your notebook.
This is a map of an imaginary continent. According to the spirits, you like to search for mysterious places, and that's how you met Jacob.
-
stroke of fate
Carlos Light
The Dark Hunter's hand is closing in on Rayden and Director Black, and they must be ready to fight! The next riddle appears in the Book of Rules: "The heart will be frozen by a painful kiss. The next riddle appears in the rule book: "The heart will be frozen by a painful kiss..." Could this be about the ice bullet? Let's look for that one. I can't think of anything else.
So they found the ice bullets! Layden told me earlier. This bullet was used by the defenders to fight the flaming mummies. When this bullet hits the heart, the mummy freezes. I hope it works the same way against the dark hunters...
-
The King's Trap
Bao
Once you have caught the evil spirits rampaging under the influence of the eclipse, the next step is to seal them off. To do this, you will need a special item. It is called the "container of the god of bugs," but it is a very rare item, so you may not be able to find it in this town... but you might be able to do it.
You have found the container of the Muses! You seem to be the heavenly blessed one. Mushigami is called the king of reptiles and insects. It is a strangely shaped container, but it is perfect for sealing the little evil spirits.
-
Guardian of Light
Bao
Trapped demons will try to escape in various ways. They will appeal to our hearts to free themselves. To protect ourselves from such influences, we need the lion pendant. Please go find it.
So a lion pendant was found! This has long ago been considered a symbol of light, power, and spirituality. Legend has it that a lion with an open mouth can capture evil spirits, while a lion with a closed mouth can protect good spirits. This pendant will surely protect us.
-
Veil of Unknowing
Violet
What a waste. To work for a disgusting loser like Black when you are that good at what you do...oh well. Let's see how well you do against the dark hunters! Next riddle is, "A ghost's tools cost big prey." Do you know what to look for?
The answer is anti-fog nets? Nonsense! Do you really think such a tiny net can catch dark hunters? Then try it yourself. I won't help you!
-
Sounds that evil spirits hate.
Bao
The trapped evil spirits will be outraged. To keep the enraged spirits at bay, you will need a bamboo fire pit. Hurry and bring it. I will explain what role this will play in catching the evil spirits from the darkness.
Thank you very much. We have already put the bamboo in the fire pit you brought. The old witch doctors found that the sound of burning bamboo kept evil spirits away and brought good luck. This should help to appease the trapped and angry evil spirits a bit.
-
The voice of the wind calling
Bao
The evil spirits that have begun their rampage in the wake of the eclipse will not try to lure them into a trap on their own. Special methods must be used to lure them into the trap. Look for an offering stone. This is also called a "squeaking stone," and its sound should attract the evil spirits.
I am glad to have found the offering stone. This stone, which came from Lake Taihu, has been sharpened by the flow of groundwater, creating holes inside. That is why this stone "squeaks". The wind passes through them and creates a mysterious sound that is out of this world.
-
Trapped Evil Spirits
Bao
It's been a long time since we last saw evil spirits running amok in the wake of the eclipse! Let's set a trap to catch them. We have set up a protective flag around the perimeter. Now we need to close the circle with a miniature of a special protective stupa. Can you find it?
Thank you for finding the chedi! Although it is a small model, it contains enormous power. A chedi always consists of an odd number of floors, and the more floors there are, the more power it has to protect people from evil spirits.
-
Unique taste
Valerie
I wonder where that pastry chef went? I can't see him anywhere. Oh, the guide is eating something... it's an orange candy in his hand. If those are mango-flavored pumpkin gummies, they were made by the patissier.
The pumpkin gummies my guide gave me looked like they were freshly made. He said he found them in this box and just couldn't resist. I would have done the same thing! Judging by the state of these pastries, the pastry chef must have been here just a few minutes ago. Come on, let's find him!
-
Horrible cookies
Valerie
Whoa! Juliette just screamed past me! What in the world was she talking about? I think she said something about a green spider... but if so, that might be a clue to finding the pastry chef. He's good at making pastry spiders. I wonder where Juliette saw those creepy cookies?
These spider sweets are definitely made by that pastry chef. Hmmm...tastes like pistachio and horseradish...and you shouldn't eat the clues that point to the pastry chef's whereabouts! But don't worry. If I find him, he'll make more of these spiders for me. Then you can eat as much as you want.
-
Bloody Fruit
Valerie
Every year at this time, our pastry chef makes colorful Halloween treats for us, but lo and behold, he's missing. I have to find him or Halloween will be ruined. Where the hell did he go? I don't think he was taken by the monsters... Speaking of monsters, what is that red syrupy stuff over there?
What, it was an apple pastry with red syrup. But wait a minute... this is the patissier's original sweet. It's odd that it would have ended up on the street. Maybe he left his footprints? Come on, let's look for something that he often dropped crumbs of bread crumbs so he wouldn't get lost in the woods.
-
acetylsalicylic acid
Isabelle
Paracelsus' first aid kit was also always stocked with aspirin. A little bit is all I need. Just a pinch.
You really are the best. Not a glass of aspirin! Did the guide keep it himself?
-
Seconds that seem like an eternity.
Kira Woodville
The lives of Director Black and Layden are in danger because the clue to defeat the Dark Hunters has been encrypted by Violet. The next riddle is "Turn the key at the right time and you will have a path to victory. Perhaps this is about the "time reversal switch"? Find it!
I was surprised to find a time reversal switch so quickly! It is still in the prototype stage, but this is a device that can rewind time just a little bit. I have participated in the experiment myself. With this, Director Black and Rayden can stay one step ahead of the dark hunters. Let's send this into the game.
-
Obstacles that suddenly appeared
Carlos Light
To prevent the Dark Hunter from harming Rayden and Director Black, solve the riddle and defeat him! The next riddle is "The way will be blocked by a steel wall with thorns"... Oh, by the way, there is a plant in this city called "Haganey rose". Isn't that what you are referring to? Let's look for its seeds.
Be careful not to drop the Haganey rose seeds! This will surely help us to defeat the dark hunters. Because the moment these seeds touch the ground, a sturdy wall of thorns will grow!
-
ray of hope
Violet
LOL. Are you really going to solve the riddle and get the clue to defeat the dark hunter? You can't do that! Then let me give you the first riddle right away. The light has the power to drive away anything born of the mist!
I beg your pardon? Do you really think that an anti-fog lamp in the form of a breastplate can dispel the darkness of the Dark Hunters? Hmmm, if you think so, send it into the game... Hmmm, it seems that the dark hunters have temporarily lost access to the black, but that won't last forever!
-
unexpected twist (at end of story)
Conductor
I'm here to help the lovely Valerie write her book. I often read detective novels at work. The best thing about those books are the surprises, the letters, the... "letters"...go find a bookmark and see for yourself.
This "letter" bookmark reminded me of the name of a surprise in a detective novel. A twist of fate! Let Valerie learn properly.
-
Pace of events
Adeline Svensson
As a journalist, I have this advice for Valerie. If a detective sits at his desk the entire time during an investigation, it means the reader will get bored. They need to travel! I'm sure Angela Crawley left a bookmark somewhere marking such a place. Can you help me find it?
The "Journey" bookmark marks a dynamic event in the detective novel! Show Valerie. Sounds like my trip to Italy in search of lost paintings...
-
ground medicine
Isabelle
Everyone, even the self-respecting alchemist, was mixing medicines by hand. But for this I needed a pharmacy pestle. Bring it along with the mortar.
I can't use the pestle for its proper purpose today, I don't have time.
-
temple (Buddhist)
Isabelle
I can't do anything without a medical scale. Paracelsus must have had a pair. Use your imagination and find them.
Did you weigh it with the scale? Is everything in order? So far, everything is in order! The guides will soon be saved.
-
tips on how to be a secret agent
Detective
Valerie has decided to become a detective fiction writer, so she should have mastered all the ways to describe an investigation. Angela should have marked the major milestones of the case in her "investigation" bookmark. Can you find it for me?
Your "investigative" bookmark marks the best scene in a detective fiction investigation! I hope this example helps her book, man.
-
beginning
Valerie
How will the case be portrayed in the book? Should the writer bring the reader right into the middle of the investigation? Or should they approach it slowly? Angela would have left clues in the "case" bookmark. Go find out!
Angela used the "incident" bookmark to mark a good example of the beginning of an adventure. I'll definitely use it in my novel!
-
Listen to the heartbeat
Isabelle
The stethoscope is also an important medical instrument. Do you know where they are?
I'm amazed you found a thermometer. And I've got my stethoscope. Now let's listen to the heartbeat of our guide. If anything goes wrong, call me.
-
temperature measurement
Isabelle
Paracelsus was a self-taught but talented man who incorporated science and alchemy in one job. The first aid kit he invented was able to diagnose illnesses and keep appropriate medicines on hand. The trouble is, no first aid kit is complete without Paracelsus' medical equipment. First, of course, I need a thermometer. Can you help me find one?
Use the thermometer you found immediately. Take our guide's temperature. How's he doing? He's not dying, is he?
-
northern ponytail (Equus ferus ferus)
Huntress
Can you think of any other iconic Western animal that would please an Oriental dog? In Sweden, there is a red wooden carved horse called the Dalarna Horse. Children and adults alike make these horses. Look for the red horse.
The red carved wooden horse without a tail is a symbol of the New Year for the Nordic countries. Come to think of it, Juliette likes this one. Why don't we find her one?
-
love for life
Lady Peacock
I know a lot about Chinese holiday traditions. The most favored New Year gift is the precious golden carp. It is the most patient and vital fish! Look for the carp.
It is said that the carp symbolizes life. It is the one that opens all doors and overcomes all obstacles. It is a powerful talisman for dogs and their puppies in the New Year!
-
Ice Tribe
Conductor
The Eskimo people have unique New Year's offerings... statues of animals made from walrus bones, for example. Look around town. You may find a walrus made from tusks somewhere. The Eskimos dedicate them to the New Year for good luck. I think it is a good idea to give it to an oriental dog.
Take this Eskimo walrus to Martha. The pups will love it. Hopefully next year will be as generous as this year. Wahaha!
-
Horns and hooves
Juliette
How about giving God's puppy a gift of a Christmas goat made of straw, dear friend! In Sweden we call it Jävle's goat. Look for that goat amulet.
I'm taking this to Martha! The Scandinavian people cherish it. But they say Yevre's goat has its roots somewhere in Germany. If you find another one, please give it to a lady hunter!
-
Western Protector
Detective
The bear is the best animal to represent the West! Especially the Zuni bear. I learned about their culture in college. The Zuni call the bear the protector of the west and they give each other stone statues. Look for "Native Wood Carved Bears!
The Zuni believe this bear amulet has the power to heal the body and turn passion into intelligence. I think the old oriental spirits will like this one, buddy!
-
Appearance of the victim
Inspector
I'm not sure about Valerie. I don't even need Angela's bookmark. Rather, it's the places she marked with it in her detective novels that matter. That way, she can learn narrative structure from the master of the pen. For example, there is no such thing as a victimless investigation. Help! Can you go find me a bookmark?
Angela used the "Help!" I used the bookmarks to mark where something bad happened to someone or where they asked for help from the detectives. Let Valerie learn well.
-
last resort
Kira Woodville
What a persistent dog! The flame dogs are still chasing Director Black and Layden, they almost caught them twice! What should we do? In times of trouble, simple methods can work. Why don't you try to create a situation where the chase itself is impossible? Look for the oil in the lamps together.
The oil in the lamp is very slippery. Give this to Director Black and Layden in the game. Sprinkle this in front of the flaming dogs that are chasing you. They may not be able to run well and stop chasing you two!
-
Frame of Strength
Juliette
What a terrible thing! While you were looking for the mirror shards, the antique frame disappeared from the wall! I have no idea where it went. Without it, I can't fix the mirror! Please don't look for the frame, please!
You found me an antique frame. Now I can fix the mirror. The mistress will not punish me. Oh, I am forever in your debt.
-
dirty secret
Detective
The mistress's bedroom is horrifying. How on earth can Juliette stay here for so long? This is no time for distractions. The important thing is to find another shard of the mirror. The mistress must not punish Juliette. Find the last shard.
Okay! You found the last piece! Now you can fix the mistress's mirror!
-
Theft of the Witch's Handbook
Martha
It's a catastrophe! I woke up from a trance today and several of my most powerful witch's handbooks were missing. They are a series of black curses that bring sorrow and death. Please, get them back before they fall into the wrong hands.
Ah, the heavenly sphere, the book has returned unharmed. I'm so glad you got it back before the evil forces that stole it destroyed the city. I offer you this item! My celestial spirit whispered to me that this is invaluable to you.
-
A secret between the two of us
Detective
Juliette came to visit me. She was very upset and asked me to help her fix the broken mirror. She said that if she didn't, the mistress would get angry and put some kind of curse on her! Don't tell anyone about this quest. This is our secret. My friend, find the mirror shard as quickly as you can!
Yeah, this fragment was located in the middle part of the mirror. Hopefully it can be fixed before the mistress returns.
-
have one's knees tremble
Juliette
There are so many mirrors in the mistress's bedroom. Thank goodness only one of them is broken. But I wonder how many pieces are scattered around the room! I'm scared. What if we run out of time and the mistress notices the empty frame? Oh, please find the next piece quickly.
As everyone has said, your exceptional ability is real. I can't believe you were able to find the debris so quickly. I'm a little relieved to hear that. I thought I was running out of time before the mistress returned.

Never wake a sleeping dog
Juliette
Oh! The broken bedroom mirror needs to be fixed before the mistress changes it! The mansion is quiet for now. Could you please find one of the shards, please?
I am so glad you helped me fix the mirror. You found the first shard, didn't you? I hope you didn't cut your hand on it.

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.
