In Pursuit of a Dream
Juliette
To overcome the fourth ordeal of the Palace of Prayer, Miss Peacock had to admit that there was a dark shadow over the happy moments of her life. She ran away to a hotel to take control of her own destiny. And there she decided to wait for the Captain's return. Go find the hotel room key.
The key to the room has to do with Miss Peacock's dream of one day living with the Captain. She followed that dream, but she knew it was hurting her family.
-
Foreign Traditions
Valerie
The fourth ordeal isn't easy. Because it's hard to know that there's a darkness hidden in the happy times of your life. So you're lucky to have us. Miss Peacock wants you to find her a beautiful basket. I'll go look for it.
Mistress Peacock had a sweet tooth, so she was delighted by the basket full of sweets. But in fact, this basket was a traditional English gift given to a princess who was to be married off to a man she did not love.
-
Heavy coins
Juliette
My dear friend, the fourth ordeal is making me feel so unstable. I never thought that something sinister could be hidden in a happy time of my life! Oh, by the way, Miss Peacock said that the Captain told her about the British Empire while showing her the Zobrin gold coin. Let's find that gold coin.
Mistress Peacock listened with amusement as the Captain spoke of his homeland. But the Queen's profile engraved on the sovereign gold coin foretold of their separation. For it was the Captain's loyalty to the British Empire that was the obstacle between the two loved ones.
-
Bloody Jewel
Mistress
It is foolish to believe that something beautiful does not have something terrible hidden behind it. Go find the beautiful pendant that the Captain gave to Mistress Peacock. If Mistress Peacock is to survive her ordeal, she needs to remember the lessons she learned from this gift.
The peacock pendant is made of Bengal tiger tusks. The Bengal tiger was driven to extinction because of the creation of these jewels. The Captain's gift taught Miss Peacock about the ruthlessness of humans.
-
Golden Cage
Lady Peacock
The fourth ordeal will be a difficult one. In order to overcome it and regain my captaincy, I must accept that there is a darkness hidden in my desires. To do this, I must first acknowledge that a dark shadow has existed in the happy moments of my life thus far. I know where to begin. Please, please find the glass bird. It was a gift from my father.
The glass bird wears a shimmering golden collar. In the past, I could have as many jewels as I wanted. Still, I could not control only my destiny.
-
Eternal Solitude
Martha
You have found objects that symbolize the fears that have tormented Mistress Peacock throughout her life. If you combine their power, I am sure Miss Peacock will be able to face her greatest fear. Can you go find the artifact to help her overcome this ordeal?
The energy of what Miss Peacock feared in the past has created an object that symbolizes what she fears most in the present. Yes, the lamp. It is best to ask Mistress Peacock what it means.
-
portent of a storm
Lady Peacock
Birds flapping their wings and singing can be heard from the prayer palace. Could that be a snowcock? That bird symbolizes the fear I felt when the Captain set out on his voyage. I will explain why later. Please help me find the snowy cat.
When the cheerful song of the tree parakeets breaks off, I feel very worried. Parakeets stop singing when bad weather approaches. I hope the Captain is not in danger from the rough seas...
-
The Widow's Suffering
Mistress
It's obvious what Mistress Peacock is afraid of. She's encountered something called "true love" and she's afraid of losing it. If you want to overcome the third ordeal, you look for items related to it.
Indian widows break their bangles after their husbands die. One of my ex-husbands was a wealthy man from Bombay, and I did not break his bangles after he died. It was a waste because it was a very beautiful bracelet.
-
unwanted marriage
Lady
Mistress Peacock's father wanted her to marry an English minister when she grew up. And this was a great fear for young Mistress Peacock. Find something to symbolize this! If you do, you will be one step closer to overcoming the third ordeal and realizing your dream.
Miss Peacock was going to wear this nato wedding ring at her wedding to a man she did not love. I myself was once almost forced into a political marriage. It was a very unpleasant experience.
-
The Promise of Freedom
Lady Peacock
Do you recognize this sweet, light ylang-ylang aroma? In Indian philosophy, this is the scent of moksha incense. To me, it is the most valuable, pure, unyielding fragrance. I will gladly share it with you... if you find it.
This elegant crescent-shaped incense burner really does contain moksha incense! Someone is trying to remind me of the meaning of "freedom". Oh, how I would love it if that were true...
-
Fragrance-Free Flowers
Doorkeeper
Martha also knitted me a basket of flowers from the yarn of her thoughts. I'm sure that would make an excellent gift for Lady Rosemary. Bring it to me.
What a lovely basket. Thank you for bringing it here so quickly. But...it doesn't seem to fit in with the lady's noble "mansion".
-
Aroma of Passion
Lady Peacock
My cheeks are getting hot. This is due to the sweet perfume of jasmine. In my homeland, it is called the "perfume of passion. In the temple of Kama, it is allowed to shelter two people who love each other in this thick cloud of smoke. Is this a message of some kind? If I could find the Kama incense, would I know what it is?
A pendant incense burner with kama incense! Inhale deeply, the jasmine is harmless. Your cheeks are getting red too. Now you know what kama is, i.e., it means "passion.
-
False Friendship
Cardsharp
Miss Peacock feared that her wealth and social status might be the only reason people were kind to her. Well, that's not too much to ask. There must be some childhood toy that symbolizes her social status. Why don't we look for them so that she can overcome the third ordeal?
If you can get such expensive throwing sesame seeds, even if you flirted with the devil... Gohon, no, now is the time to be compassionate, to let go of your personal greed. Forget about your silly ideas!
-
Monster Face
Valerie
Amina disappeared again and we were faced with a third ordeal. We had to find an item that would remind Mistress Peacock of something she had feared in the past. Oh, by the way, Mistress Peacock once told me. When she was a little girl, she was afraid of a desert demon called Rajeten. Hearing such a story makes me feel scared too! Let's look for the mask of Rajeten.
Oh great, you found Rajten...oh my god, what a face! Take it over there already! They say Miss Peacock was afraid of it as a child, but it's scary enough for me as an adult!
-
Overcoming Dangers
Lady Peacock
Dodging clever traps hidden in the prayer palace, we arrived at this empty archway. Does it lead to the back room where Amina is? Or is this another trap? I have a bad feeling about this... Do you have the artifact? If you have it, you will know where this mysterious archway leads.
The magic of the artifact has been unleashed. The sculpted archway was transformed into a magical substance that enveloped it, like a doorway! I am afraid to go in, but I will try to go inside. Every minute of my life without the Captain is far more unbearable than the danger that may await me on the other side of the door.
-
What's behind the wall
Valerie
The hall in front of you is empty, but I'm sure there's a second ordeal trap hidden somewhere. If you've ever seen an Indis Jansson movie, you'll know right away that the walls here are anything but ordinary! Let's check it out together. Just be careful.
Thanks for helping me find the circular saw hidden in the wall! And Ed the ferret was very active too. He went through the front of this saw and unlocked the mechanism that turned on the switch.
-
Danger in the air
Adeline Svensson
The trap that awaits Miss Peacock in the second ordeal could be anywhere in this palace. It wouldn't be surprising if that lovely lamp hanging from the heavens was a trap. Let's check it out.
Oh, my God! A wrought iron lamp just fell where I was standing! Tell everyone not to stand near the lamp. It's a trap!
-
Important Wishes
Hanako
It seems that Mr. Ryu has not yet broken Aimi's curse. Is he preparing something special for when he meets her in the garden? Please take him to the fountain of his wish. If you throw a coin into it and make a wish, you will surely be forgiven when you meet Aimi. You know where this fountain is, don't you?
The best time to make a wish at this fountain is during the cherry blossom viewing season. When cherry petals fall into the water, the fountain is filled with the magic of spring. This is why many couples come there in the spring. If Aimi has forgiven Ryu, perhaps one day the two of them will visit the fountain together.
-
Beautiful packaging
Ryu
Aimi always enjoyed our dates in the gardens. I hope she enjoys it as much this time and forgives me for hexing her... Let's wrap everything we need for a romantic picnic in a furoshiki. Could you bring one?
Thank you for finding the large furoshiki. I wrapped everything I needed for a picnic in the garden. In Japan, it is customary to express one's feelings by wrapping gifts in beautiful fabric. In a way, it is like an art form.
-
An amulet given to me by my mother.
Ryu
When Aimi returns to human form, she must not be afraid of my appearance and run away. She once told me. She said that when she is afraid, she sleeps with a flower doll in her arms. I would like to give it to her. Could you please help me find it?
You found a flower doll that Aimi received from her mother. She said that this reminds her of her mother. She said that when she has bad dreams, she can hold this doll and fall asleep again without fear... With this, she will be able to calm down when she sees my face.
-
nap
Lady Peacock
Without your help, we would not have made it this far through the second ordeal. The traps in this palace are very nasty! By the way, I see a fountain that is spitting out something that looks like fog instead of water. Let's check it out. It might be one of the traps.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's not because I'm bored! There is some sort of drowsiness-inducing gas being released from that fountain. You shouldn't breathe in too close or too deeply.
-
Dangerous footing
Detective
Hey, I think I know the next trap in the second ordeal. It's a trapdoor hidden in the carpet. I used to see them all the time when I worked for the police, and one of them was a trapdoor that led to a shark tank kept by a mob boss. Anyway, let's take a closer look at the carpet here. There might be a trap hidden in there.
Whew, that was a close one! Thanks for pulling me up. I never imagined that the carpet itself would turn into a sand pit, let alone a trapdoor!
-
fire trap
Huntress
My friend, I am willing to help Mistress Peacock overcome the second ordeal of the palace. I am used to handling traps from hunting monsters, so I am sure I can find the traps in the palace. For example, I am sure that some of the statues here are not just for decoration. Find me a lion or chimera statue and I will tell you more about it.
The fire-breathing statue is a classic trap, but people forget that. See... the card cheater guy, who's been lured by the money to decorate the statues, came up to me and almost stuck his head in the chimera's spitting fire.
-
Hall of Honor
Alex
To get through the first ordeal of the Prayer Queen, you have to find the item to which the code hidden in the letter refers. You emphasize the part about "those who have overcome the trials she gives and had their wishes granted." It seems that Mistress Peacock thinks we should find something that symbolizes those who have had their wishes granted in the palace in the past. Let's find it.
This stained glass window depicts a crown. I guess it means there was a lucky guy who fulfilled his dream and became a king...quite a feat! By the way, this stained glass is glowing. Looks like my guess was right!
-
eternal metaphor
Valerie
It says, "The Queen of Prayer will spend eternity in this palace." We'll have to dig deeper into what this means if Mistress Peacock is going to get through the first ordeal. She also said that since the word "eternity" is emphasized, we should look for something related to it. Eternity means time. Speaking of time...maybe a clock?
I touched the statue and it started glowing! That means you correctly deciphered the clue hidden in the letter from the Queen of Prayer. I'm impressed!
-
Cozy space
Lady Peacock
To overcome the first ordeal, one must find the item hidden in Amina's letter. The phrase "the palace of prayer turns into a cozy place" is emphasized. The moment I stepped into the palace, the interior began to change to my liking... yes, look for interior items related to Miss Peacock!
What a lovely jar! It reminds me of my favorite peacocks. This peacock jar started glowing the moment I found it. In other words, this is the right item!
-
In Pursuit of a Dream
Detective
To overcome the first ordeal, you have to buy into the meaning of Amina's letter and find the right item. Miss Peacock said the emphasis was on the part that said "it will lead you to that person across multiple worlds."...I'm guessing that means some sort of magic compass or divination tool? What do you think, can you find it?
Hey, look at that. You can see Miss Peacock's reflection in the magic liquid under the pendulum! Seeing as how the device itself is glowing, I guess we weren't wrong in our guess.
-
What appears in the legend
Lady Peacock
Amina writes that the legend of the Palace of Prayer guides me. The letter then contains words and phrases written in different styles. If I decipher this letter and find the right item, I should be able to pass the first ordeal. Amina's letter emphasized the word "legend"...can you find an item related to the legend? How about a book, for example?
The brightly colored Book of Legends was open to the pages describing the Palace of Prayer. And at the very moment I touched the book, it lit up. It surely meant that we were not going about it the wrong way.
-
Hoping for forgiveness
Ryu
I will accept it even if Aimi does not forgive me after I break the curse. But in that case, I just want to say goodbye. Let's prepare as much as possible now. She hasn't eaten good food for a while. Prepare a lunch box for her with the best ingredients.
Thank you for the wonderful bento! Did the bento shop owner say that without any magic, the delicious ingredients in this will unite the hearts of lovers? If that's the case, I'll give this to her before I talk about anything serious. If she eats something delicious, the feeling of hatred will disappear from her heart and she may forgive me.
-
special date
Ryu
I have not been this excited in hundreds of years. I am afraid that after I break Aimi's curse, she will not listen to me. If I prepare a romantic place, she may listen. Could you please prepare a situation together that she would enjoy? First, let's look for a cherry blossom-patterned goza.
This cherry blossom-patterned mat would be perfect for a romantic picnic. After I break Aimi's curse, I will sit here and ask her to listen to me. If she finds out that I regret my actions, will she give me a second chance?
-
Scary Toys
Isabelle
Poor Juliette. I am truly afraid. You have obviously encountered night terrors. You have every right to be afraid. That is one of the most unpleasant paranormal phenomena in the city...night terrors bring on the pitch blackness and the terror of childhood. It is extremely difficult to get through the affected areas. Thank goodness Juliette has an escort. But what could have caused the night terrors again? Look for something out of the ordinary and something that reminds you of your childhood in the mansion.
Wow...how creepy! It looks like a simple child's toy, but that face...that is not a smile. It is smiling and laughing! No child would play with that.
-
escort
Juliette
There's a new paranormal activity by the gates of the lord's mansion. Terror in the night. You can't imagine what it's like. It's pitch black and I can only see the faint outlines of items. I have to go to the mansion right away, but I'm so scared, I feel like there are monsters in every dark corner...
Do you feel the same way? It's so horrible! It reminds me of all the nightmares I had as a child... I don't want to leave until morning comes. Go get Isabelle! She's the only one who can help.
-
The Royal Rose
Lady Peacock
I noticed other scents that stood out to me. That very rich, strong scent of roses reminds me of those nostalgic days in India. The oil of the rose is the source of the incense in Arsa. Find the source of the fragrance from the hotel and we will tell you what it means.
Someone left an expensive incense burner filled with rose arsa incense at the hotel. This one is even shaped like a rose! In India, arsa means "happiness.
-
noble smoke
Lady Peacock
I haven't cooked incense for a long, long time. I got into it when I left my hometown and started living in hotels. This fragrance appeared this morning. This noble sandalwood fragrance is the incense of Dharma. Will you please find the source of this fragrance?
The dharma incense is still burning in this vessel! In India, dharma means the law of the whole. It is our life principle, but why did it show up in our hotel?
-
inner strength
Ryu
I would gladly return emotions to people in order to enter the garden. But the ritual to return emotions consumes a lot of energy. To use the magic, I will borrow the power of the awakened volcano. Let's find the dome of the volcano.
You found the dome of a volcano! See, can you feel it trembling? This dome contains the powerful energy of the awakened volcano. I will borrow this power when I use the magic. It should give us enough power to perform the ritual.
-
Friendly neighbors
Juliette
Martha needs items related to seasonal traditions to help her get Roland back home. It would be nice to get to know our neighbors and exchange Thanksgiving gifts. Can you help me prepare?
You have so many wonderful fall gifts packed in here! I'm taking these to Martha. And this... is my gift to you!
-
Garden Presents
Detective
I don't know much about traditions, but I remember one tradition of the New York Police Department. We used to decorate our office with bouquets during the Thanksgiving season. Pumpkins decorated with fall flowers! Buddy, you'll have to look for that!
Every year in November, before Thanksgiving, there was a pumpkin contest. The prize was a blue ribbon and a day's pay. It was my favorite tradition in the department.
-
enchanting melody
Ryu
As soon as I return the stolen emotions to the people of the city, I will go to the garden and break the curse I placed on Aimi. By the way, did you know? Emotions are not easy to listen to. If such a situation arises during the ritual, I will play the magic harp. Look for it.
Thank you for finding the magic zither. The melody of this instrument mesmerizes me emotionally... like a snake charmer mesmerizes a snake with the sound of his flute. Once, Aimi played the zither for me. It was then that I became captivated by her. I cannot forgive myself for turning her into such a cherry tree.
-
Mysterious ore
Ryu
Until I keep my promise to return the emotions to their owners, I will not be able to break the curse on Aimi. But some of the stolen emotions are already inside me. To retrieve them, I need the opal figurine. Can you search for it with me?
You have found a beautiful ornament made of opal. Not many people know that this ore has magical powers. Only those who are familiar with magic and curses know about it. Now, let's use this figurine to invoke the feelings that you have taken into yourself.
-
Emotions.
Ryu
We must enter the garden at all costs before the Hanami season is over. But first, I must return the emotion to the people of the city. Unfortunately, the emotions are cursed and do not remember their owners. But if you purify them in a salt bath, you may be able to break the curse. Find a salt bath!
You have found the salt bath! If you put your emotions here and break the curse, you will remember who the owner is 7 days. Then you will be able to return to your owner.
-
Stolen valuables
Ryu
So to get into the gardens, you have to give people back their emotions. But that is not an easy thing to do. So we ask you. Will you help us get the things we need? I have all the stolen emotions in a special coin purse, but...oh my God! It seems they have been stolen! Could you please help me look for them together?
I see that you found a coin purse! Very heavy, isn't it? It's a good thing the killer didn't open it. If he had opened it, the feelings inside would have spilled out. If that had happened, it would have taken a long time to find it, and we might not have been able to break the curse that was placed on Aimi.
-
Detective Advice
Detective
I've been undercover many times and I bet Adeline needs a wig. She'll need a wig to make the pictures look real! But not just any wig. It has to be green or pink. Adeline wants attention, so it has to be a different color.
I'll use this wig when I infiltrate a gang of elves. It goes perfectly with the picture of the forest nymphs!
-
strain one's ears
Adeline Svensson
I know what it takes to make a nymph's stagecraft picture perfect. I need to find some "elf ear cuffs" and make them my ears. People often say that people with pointy ears are very perceptive.
As a journalist, I always like to keep my ears open to what's going on around me... Plus, these ear cuffs look like magic feathers. Perfect for those pictures of forest nymphs!
-
Blink of an eyelash
Valerie
How cool is it to dress like a nymph? Why didn't I think of it first? If I were doing a staged photo shoot, I would use "fake eyelashes" to look like the eyes of a star actress. Let's go with that. Find them for Adeline.
One blink of these "false eyelashes" and everyone around you is captivated by the nymph Adeline! I'm a little jealous. But the only thing that matters is that Alex's eyes are on me.
-
the Queen's eyes
Juliette
Adeline would definitely make a great forest nymph. Oh, dear friend, I think I can help Adeline with her nymph makeup. I can make her eyes more emotional! Please help me find some "eyeliner."
Use this "eyeliner" to make Adeline's eyes mesmerizing. Her eyes will look like forest nymphs.
-
Protect your skin
Mistress
That journalist seems to have lost his mind. Dressed like a forest nymph, he didn't know where to start. And he even brazenly asked me to teach him how to make staged photos! He asked me to look for some makeup tools! I told him to look for some cosmetics. At least I can hide that fool's face! What are you waiting for, a goodbye kiss? Go after her quickly!
With "theater make-up," the original face can be made up so well that it is hard to tell who you are. And this makeup paint works wonders. But, if you want beauty, magic is the way to go.
-
Tones of Joy
Doorkeeper
Pick out the right gift for Lady's birthday! Martha found a thread of thought. She knitted up a few ideas. The first one is a bell. The sound of that bell makes everyone happy. Look for the hand-knitted bell.
Thank you! Yes, this is the bell I wove with the thread of my thoughts. But I think the sound of the bell is a little too bright. It might be too loud for Lady Rosemary.
-
magic scale
Isabelle
You really found your fairy wings. That's amazing! Fairies are capable of the purest magic. And it is said that the scales on their wings can destroy any virus.
-
Symbol of Love
Roland
I was going to give Ginger a gift on Thanksgiving Day. I don't know if you would call this a tradition, but I wanted to have matching rings to let her know that I will definitely be back. Can you help me find it? I think it will help Martha open the door to return.
When I put the two rings together, they conjure up images of autumn. With this, you will always remember the autumn season when I and Ginger met.
-
Traditional tableware
Lady
I need the miracle contained in the symbolism of seasonal traditions so that Martha can bring Roland back to the world. In my house, there is a special dish that is used only during the harvest season. Can you help me find it?
Martha needs the magic of tradition to help Roland. I hope my porcelain dishes contain enough of it...
-
Autumn Invitation
Valerie
Even if it was just an illusion, I'm going to miss my old hometown. But...now Roland can go back to the house where the people who have been waiting for him to return for so long live. Martha told me that it takes the magic of seasonal traditions to open the door. In my family we used to make dinner party invitations out of maple leaves. Would you like to make some?
I didn't collect that many leaves, but here's a piece of paper to tie up and write the names of the people you want to invite to your dinner party. I'll invite you first. Can you spell your name for me?
-
Enchanted map
Isabelle
I've read about a curse that Roland has on us. When you have that curse, you don't notice changes. In other words, things that are malfunctioning look normal. Like this map that's falling apart. Can you help me put it back together?
Did you find the puzzle piece? Good. Then give it to me. We need to repair the map to break the curse of the Tangled Journey.
-
What you see on the horizon
Valerie
I'm glad you found a way to break the curse that tangled your journey. Now we just need to find the items that will prove the effects of the curse. Roland said that one by one the essentials of the trip broke. One of them is a pair of binoculars. Can you help me find those?
These binoculars are twisted! They weren't originally shaped like this, were they? It's definitely the work of a curse. I can't see anything on the horizon at all.
-
Delicious sweets
Ryu
Could you please give the invisible judges a gift from me to allow them to enter the Japanese garden and break the curse on Aimi? For example, sweets traditionally served with tea. Would you be willing to search with me for the best buns in town?
All human food is delicious, but these buns are especially wonderful! It is made of flour and has red bean paste inside the skin. I hope the invisible judges like it.
-
First of all, you should enjoy it with your eyes.
Hanako
If we can convince the invisible judges to allow Mr. Liu to enter the garden, he will return the sentiment to the people of the city. In the ritual to appease their anger, I intend to use very rare tea leaves. But before I brew the tea, I will first let them enjoy the tea with their eyes. Please find just the right saucer!
You have found a wonderful tea saucer. I would put the tea leaves here so that the invisible judges can first enjoy the aroma, color, and shape of the tea. That way they can "feel" the hidden flavors in the tea and at the same time put themselves in a semi-meditative state.
-
Crazy dials
Juliette
The only way to break the curse on Roland is to find the items affected by Cassia's curse. Roland told me that he had a watch that was broken. He said he was always late because his watch was broken. Let's find his pocket watch.
Well, this pocket watch is making my head spin! Did Roland use one of these? No wonder he's late for this.
-
unmeasurable
Conductor
What a terrible curse to make the journey tangled! Let's do our best to find items that hint at its effects. Roland told me that when he used his odometer to navigate a winding road, the calculated distance was off by dozens of miles from the actual distance. Maybe the curse caused the odometer to malfunction? Let's find out.
With an odometer, I can measure the distance of a winding road on a map. But Roland's odometer has far too many pointers. It must be a curse.
-
peaceful melody
Hanako
For the sake of the invisible judges, I am going to brew tea with water flowing from a bamboo fountain. This fountain is commonly found in Japanese gardens, and listening to the sound of water flowing from it is comforting. Furthermore, this water is full of auspicious energy. Let's find this unique fountain together.
What a beautiful sound! Listening to the sound of falling water is so peaceful. Tea brewed with this water will surely calm the hearts of the invisible judges who are upset with Mr. Ryu for defiling the Japanese garden with his curse.
-
Golden tea
Hanako
If we can please the invisible judges with our rituals, I am sure they will be merciful to Mr. Liu and allow us to enter the garden. Actually, I would like to make the tea the color of the new moon, but for that I need something called a "Tsuki no Bagua tray". Could you please help me find one?
You found a nice bagua tray. Do you see the moon pattern embossed on the back of the tray? This tray should attract the shadow of the moon during the ritual. It will turn the color of the tea a beautiful golden color.
-
Important Events
Hanako
In order to be allowed to enter the garden to break the spell on Aimi, we need to perform a ritual to appease the wrath of the invisible judges. I will take the role of making the tea, but could you please assist me? First, please find a teapot that has been used in the past for special ceremonies.
So you found a teapot. That's great! This was used for a special seasonal event. It fits perfectly with the ritual we are about to perform.
-
limited time
Ryu
Let me tell you how stealing other people's emotions is related to my tragedy that I have told you about. I tried many times to go to a Japanese garden that I was forbidden to enter by invisible judges. However, I could not enter because of the stone guardian foxes. Let me show you where they are!
The stone guardian foxes that you found were placed at the entrance to the garden by the invisible judges. It is a mechanism that senses my non-human presence and immediately notifies the invisible judges. I am indeed no match for their power.
-
Anger of the Invisible Judges
Ryu
I stole the emotions of the people of the city to save Aimi. When I realized that I had turned her into a cherry blossom tree, I tried to fix the situation somehow... but the invisible judges would not allow it. There is a circle of candles in the Japanese garden. When someone uses a curse, it is designed to detect it and turn on the lights. Could you please find it?
You found a circle of candles! Suddenly the candles lit up and I heard the voices of the invisible judges. They said that I had defiled their sacred garden with a curse. Without time to lift the curse on the woman I loved, I was banished from the garden. I can never set foot in it again.
-
bitter (painful) memory
Ryu
I needed the emotions of the people of the city to get Aimi back. I usually hide my true face by wearing a mask. But demons can't hide their real face only from their loved ones. But I should never have taken off the mask... Now the only thing that reminds me of Aimi is that cherry blossom pendant. Where has it gone? Can you please look for it?
I see you found the cherry blossom pendant! This reminds me of the day Aimi saw my real face with the masks off. She was so frightened that she ran into the Japanese garden. To stop her from running away, I quickly transformed poor Aimi into a cherry blossom tree. This pendant contains petals that fell from that tree.
-
Family Symbols
Ryu
It was for Aimi that I began to steal people's emotions. Oni do not easily feel affection, but I was lucky. One day I gave Aimi, who sold persimmons from her garden at this store, a knit persimmon flower. It must have been around here somewhere...can you please find it?
You found the knit persimmon flower. This is a symbol of Aimi's family. As a child, she used to go out with her mother to sell persimmons. After her mother died, her father planted a special kind of persimmon tree in the garden in memory of his wife. Aimi and her father were very sad to see her go...
-
wonderful feeling
Ryu
Want to know why I steal people's emotions? I am actually a demon. For hundreds of years, I have watched in wonder how humans are happy or sad over trivial things. There is one thing that makes me happy. Please take the amulet Aimi gave me. It is in the box!
Aimi expressed her feelings for me by giving me the amulet. She was reserved and had long wondered if she would open up to me. The first time we met was when she went to a store selling persimmons. I was completely smitten with her.
-
Secret Entrance
Detective
There are several cobwebs growing where Juliette disappeared on the wall. I can see something behind them, but I can't see much from here. I think it's a handprint... hey buddy, can you help me get rid of these cobwebs? I'd like to check out what's behind it.
Hey, I found a great mystery! I removed the cobwebs and pressed the handprint that was there and it sounded like some kind of machine. There is a door near here and Juliette must have used it...I hope she is ok.

devilish animal
Martha
But we don't even know why the faces of those who wore the masks became "expressionless. However, I am certain that the person who made these masks had special knowledge about curses. By the way, there was a fox figurine in Ryu's workshop. I'd like to check that out. Can you help me find it?
That fox figurine is used in a ritual that takes away everything in a person's heart. The fox is said to be able to transform into a human, breathe fire, and steal a person's life force.

flames of hell
Martha
You mentioned that the masked people had different expressions on their faces? It seems there is a curse on some of the masks in this store. I see light leaking from the masks. It's called a blue heron fire, and it's the feathers of a long-lived blue heron that are glowing. They must be somewhere in this store. Look for it!
You found the feathers of a great blue heron! Birds that live long enough become magic birds. That's why the feathers of the blue heron glow. Ryu's mask was made from this magical feather.

strong urge
Detective
I'm sure Ryu puts a lot of magic into his work. I'm sure it was the masks he made that made the people in town "expressionless". There are wood shavings on the floor. He was in the middle of making masks when we got here. Where is this work? Let's split up and look for it!
You found a mask you were about to make. Thank God! By the way, this is a very intricate piece of work. Strangely enough, as soon as I picked it up, I had a strong urge to put it on. It's as if it's pulling my face in...but let's leave it at that, it's dangerous.

magic ink
Detective
My hunch is always right. The fact that he became expressionless immediately after trying on the masks in this store makes me believe that Ryu is involved in this matter. I want you to work with me to find out what dye he uses to color the masks. I want to find out what ingredients are used!
That's what I'm talking about, buddy! This dye has a really strange glow to it, don't you think? There must be some magical ingredient in it. I can't believe it myself, but after so many years in this town, it seems I've developed the ability to tell when something is magically imbued. Okay, let's take this one to Martha.

Strange tools
Detective
This Ryu guy is more than just a craftsman. Let's find out if he is the one who is making the people of the city wear "expressionless" masks. The residents' behavior changed after they put on the masks at this store. I'd like to see that guy's tools. Can you find it for me?
These are craftsmen's tools... I've never seen anything like them. Hey, look at this. Instead of blades, they're made of bamboo leaves. And this one has a hook. But the most suspicious one is this one. There's a flame coming out of the handle. Let's take these weird tools to Martha and have her check them out.

Finding Suspects
Conductor
Let's get straight to the point. I need your help. I've been asked by a detective to locate a man who arrived in town on April 1st. I can find him with my search equipment, but I'm going to need his personal effects for this. I need your help!
Thanks for the help, buddy. Now the detective has no choice but to bring me a nice bottle of something. I send you my sincerest thanks!

Seasonal Fragrances
Detective
Hey buddy, we are here to do some research. There are a lot of open-air stores we're interested in, but let's go to the mask store first. I don't have the exact address, but we'll keep an eye out for it when we get to the street lined with stores.
What the heck, it's not as crowded as I thought it would be. I can smell green tea coming from somewhere. There are many street vendors selling things I've never seen before...oh, isn't that it? Look, lots of masks. Buddy, I'm pretty sure this is the store we've been looking for!

Visualization of thoughts
Lewis Capuchin
Thanks for taking on the task of helping me gather the latest in film equipment. A friend of Bella's recently saw a kaleidoscope of sorts in town, brought to us by the fog. I know they are of no value to the gatherers, but they are useful to us. Would you be willing to help me find the kaleidoscope?
What a wonderful kaleidoscope you have found! It projects our thoughts in color images. It makes images of everything that comes into your head. Would you like to try it? Let me show you how to use it...

those young days
Anna Weber
Fabian told me to collect them for him, and he said that if I had some gifts from fans, I could finish his autobiography more quickly. Do you know why he loved lace so much? It's because Winona, his first muse, loved lace dresses. She gave Fabian a lace ribbon when they parted. Can you help me find it?
You found the lace ribbon that Winoa had given to Fabian! Fabian told me about their last summer together. About the hotel on the mountaintop, about walking through the lush green meadows. He said Winoa wanted him to devote his creativity to her alone, and they had no choice but to part ways.

Lonely woman
Rayden Storke
These days, there's no one to take care of the architect's statue. Maybe if we give them some gift and make them trust us, they will open up and talk to us. Look, that statue of the elderly woman over there looks terribly sad. I saw a marble cat somewhere in the garden, why don't we give it to her?
You found the marble cat! If the day had passed already, the grass would have grown over it and it would have been completely hidden. Now, let's put it near that lonely-looking statue. A well-made sculpture, don't you think? The architect's passion for modeling is well expressed in her sculptures.

8-legged clue
Detective
Martha said the cobwebs could be a clue to finding Juliette after she disappeared. So far, all we know is where Juliette disappeared. Let's check there carefully. First, can you help me find the cobwebs?
There's blood on this spider's web! I'm so worried about Juliette. We have to do whatever we can to bring her back before she is harmed! Stay focused... hey buddy, the cobwebs are extending to the wall that Juliette went through.
-
The Red Ritual
Martha
Thank goodness you found the card with the dragon's blood on it. Now, I need to focus... I'm going to lay out the cards and read the words from the spirits. Let's see... "Follow the bloody cobwebs". If we can find the bloody spider web, then surely we can find Juliette!

A tool that tells you which direction to go.
Detective
Buddy, finding odd items is our specialty. Right? Let's find something that proves that Roland is under an ancient curse. Which one shall we start with? Didn't you learn that in Boy Scouts? That it's dangerous to go hiking in the mountains without a compass? Let's check out Roland's compass. There might be some suspicious fingerprints on it or something.
I knew my hunch was right! Look, this compass doesn't point north. Or rather, it doesn't point in any direction. If you look closely, you'll see that this is not a real compass. It's just a boring decoration.

Memories of Home
Roland
In Cassia's house I forgot everything. My passion for travel, the ginger mansion, the autumn garden, and even about myself... But the feeling that something was wrong was always with me. One day, in my backpack, I found a brooch to fasten my cape. Then, as if I had been doused with cold water, I suddenly became conscious. That brooch must have been around here somewhere.
This brooch was a gift from Ginger. When I found it, I remembered how much I loved her and that she was waiting for me to return. Cassia did not seem to want me to leave, but she still sent me on my way.
-
Magic Recipe
Roland
Time has passed...the Cassia house was comfortable, but I can't remember how long I stayed there. I remember eating in a large room surrounded by red candles. It was kind of a strange candle...I'm sure something similar was around here. Look for it. Maybe that's where the curse came from...
Yes, it was this candle that was in Cassia's house. Strange candles, don't you think?
-
hospitality
Roland
The owner of that garden I saw in the Alps is named Cassia, and I don't think she put the curse on me. Not only did she not resent my entering her garden without her permission, she welcomed me with open arms. The night before I left, she invited me to stay at her house. She gave me a pair of slippers that looked just like the ones Ginger had knitted for me.
I recognize these knitted slippers. They are the same ones I received when I stayed at Cassia's house. As soon as I put those on...well, I forgot everything.
-
Magic Flower
Roland
I can only vaguely recall my last trip, but I do remember seeing flowers... plants from all over the world in various seasons all blooming at once in the snow-covered garden of our house in the Alps. Among them was a bright yellow daisy. See, there they are, too!
Why is that daisy I saw in the Alps in Ginger's mansion? This is the one I picked a year ago as a gift to her. Is this the cause of the curse?

The Magic of Medicinal Herbs
Isabelle
Martha has a fever. I've never seen her so weak. It seems we have less time than I thought. I'll stay with her, you go and look for herbs with healing properties. I'll make a note of what you need!
-
Stone Trophies
Huntress
I'm in trouble. Martha is about to succumb to the witch flu! But it looks like they've already started gathering ingredients for a cure. Isabelle is feeding Martha milk of the poppy so she can get some sleep. In the meantime, let's find the golem's heart!
Thanks for helping me take down the golem with me. Thanks to you, we got the golem's stone heart! See the glowing energy in the heart? It's supposed to be able to bring even stone to life. With it, I'm sure Martha will be fine in no time. I'm sure of it!
-
Stone Shape
Roland
As you say, I don't remember anything about my last trip... where did I go? Was it the Alps? Yes, it was! We went to the Alps last fall. I remember there was an unpopular house. And there I saw a stone statue of a girl. Have you seen anything similar around here?
The statue you found is not from the mansion with Ginger, but from the Alps, far from here. It looks like a severed head. I don't think I was under the influence of the curse when I first found this statue...

Knit Ornaments
Valerie
I've never met Ginger, but I'm sure she's a fascinating person. Look, you knitted a cover for the cup so that the heat from the drink doesn't escape. With these, you won't burn your hands on those hot cups. I'm sure she'll still have her aura about her, can you bring it to me?
Nice cover. I hope one day I can learn to knit and make a cup cover for myself.
-
My favorite snack
Inspector
I smell a freshly baked apple cake. It must be the Charlotte cake that Ginger baked. Maybe there's some of her aura left, let's look for it.
Smells so good, doesn't it? It's named after Queen Charlotte. It is a favorite cake in England.
-
Cozy home away from home
Juliette
To find out why Roland can't get back to Ginger, we need an item that still has her aura. Oh, by the way, I saw some colorful lampshades in the house. They looked handmade, so they must be useful. Let's check it out.
The lampshade you found is made of colorful fabrics sewn together. I'm going to try to make the same one for myself. It would make my daily work more enjoyable.
-
Scent of Autumn
Inspector
If Ginger doesn't want you to come back to Roland, that's very disappointing...Hey, I smell that nice spice. I wonder where it's coming from? I'm sure that's where Ginger's aura is left.
Look at these spice decorations. Roland's fiancée liked to decorate her house with spices. I bet you can still find her aura in these spices.
-
Sophisticated taste
Roland
Is it possible that Ginger does not want me back? If that is true...no, I must do everything in my power to make her happy. I'm not sure what you mean by "aura," but stop pondering and look for the items that still have it. How about the embroidery at the porch? Good! Then let's go get it.
Ginger loved to sit on the porch and embroider. When she smelled the delicious smells coming from the kitchen, she would throw what she was sewing on the steps there and run into the house.

Desert Journey
Roland
That blanket was made by Ginger as we set out on our journey to find the city buried in the sand. The desert nights are freezing cold and the sun bakes everything during the day. Please look for my helmet cap. It is the one Ginger embroidered with flowers.
I spent months traveling through the desert wearing this helmet cap. Just when I was about to give up hope of finding anything else, I found the tip of a spire sticking out of the sand. It belonged to a lost city house.
-
The Traveler's Bed
Roland
At the time, I could not imagine life without adventure. I went deep into the mountains and spent days hiding from saber tigers. Eventually I forgot what it was like to knead in a regular bed. I slept on a camping blanket directly on the ground. That blanket is laid out in a mansion surrounded by daisies.
These blankets are light as a feather. It has saved my life many times on cold nights around the world. The message inside...how many times have I read this over and over again?
-
The Road Leading North
Roland
I began to travel freely, alone, like a bird in the sky, relying only on the spirit of adventure and stories. Yes, there was this one time. I was in a tavern in the north and got into an argument with a regular there. I declared that I would surely find the ice golem and bring it to him. Find the nickel that saved my life that time.
Yes, it is. I did indeed take this nickel with me to the mountain. Huh? Did I find the golem? Of course, I did not find it. Instead of the golem, I took a bag of crushed ice to the tavern. Since then, they have been putting ice in the whiskey at that bar. I'm not lying!
-
shipwreck
Roland
Our ocean adventure came to an end one day with a hurricane. The sky was as black as ink that day! Waves so high they seemed to reach the sky, the boat swayed violently from side to side like a rag. At that moment, what saved my life was a small mountaineering knife. Where did I put it... can you help me find it?
I strapped myself to the mast to keep from falling overboard. But eventually the boat sank and I was dragged into the sea with it. Thanks to the knife, I was able to cut the ropes that bound me and return to the surface.

Phantom house
Adeline Svensson
This is Adeline Svensson. I am reporting live from Daisy Lane. Dozens of citizens witnessed the sudden appearance of a large mansion here. The invitation from the mayor made no mention of the mansion. What in the world was the purpose of their appearance? Did the magic of the mystic daisy bring back someone's memory as an illusion? Why not come here and find out the truth?
A mansion and mountain range with a beautiful pond appeared on a daisy path in the center of town. The sweet aroma of pumpkin pie wafts down the path, inviting passersby to enter the mansion. Who is the owner of the retriever dog sleeping in front of the doorway?
-
Passion for Travel
Roland
I grew up in an orphanage without knowing my family. So I guess I was destined to be a wanderer from the very beginning. The story goes back to the day I started working as a waiter on a merchant ship... One day the ship was caught in a storm. One of the sailors gave me a neckerchief to protect my face from the spray and wind. I believe it was in the house. Would you like to take a look?
This neckerchief is my first loot. Of course, I did not bring it back from some distant land, nor is it a rare item. But it was the catalyst for my choice of a life of travel.

Halloween Fun
Valerie
If we tell this story to the last spirit, they'll be convinced that Halloween is still celebrated in the city. And I'm sure they'll open up the town to me. I dressed up as a werewolf to bring the lady hunters to the party. At the party we played darts, which is a little different. Can you find me some darts to recreate that atmosphere?
At first, the lady hunters didn't want to play darts. But in the end, they enjoyed it. And she won in a duel with a detective! It was a really fun Halloween. That's what Halloween should be about, right?
-
The Face of the Enemy
Huntress
I hope the spirits like my story and take my side... Let's recreate the atmosphere of the story at the end. I had a bad feeling as I headed to that address. And that hunch was right on target. You'll find out what I found there when you find the next item. Look for a unique headdress.
What I found was this headdress...and it was Valerie who was wearing it! She was dressed as a werewolf with the help of Martha's magic. Why? You'll have to ask Valerie herself.
-
Cute amulet
Valerie
I know this story well! I'm sure the spirits of the Wild Hunt will love it. I'm sure you can help the detectives, the guides and Isabelle! The lady hunter was headed to the address left by the werewolf, right? Actually, on her way there she found an interesting amulet. How is it interesting? Find out for yourself if you want to know.
The female hunter immediately recognized the amulet as belonging to a werewolf. Because it had werewolf hair on it. But here's where the story gets a lot more interesting.
