Queen moth (Pleurotus moschatus)
Salem
As the "Queen of Halloween," it's important to look fabulous at the parties you throw, right? I wanted to make a necklace. So I collected night moths from all over the world. But they quickly escaped. Will you help me find them?
The night moths are flapping their wings at the "living necklace" found in the tower. It's so beautiful! Shall I make one for you?
-
Holiday Sweets
Salem
Entertaining the city's inhabitants is an important quality of the "Halloween Queen." I collected moonlight and made candy bars. Bring those. Let's see what moonlight tastes like.
I see you brought me some "Moon Stick Candy." Well, let's taste it... I can't believe how sweet and delicate the moonlight tastes. This will please the people of the city!
-
Witch Dance
Salem
Jack told me. The "Queen of Halloween" said it's important to know a thing or two about how to enjoy the holiday. I did some Halloween magic. Then the broomstick I borrowed from the friendly witch started dancing and went away. I feel sorry for the witch! Find that "dancing broom".
Thank you! You got me my "dancing broom" back. And the witch who owned it wasn't mad about the magic at all. Isn't this broom elegant?
-
Cute bones.
Salem
Nice to see you again! To become a true "Queen of Halloween," I need to perform the Five Miracles of Halloween. First, I commanded one of the spirits to rise as a bone deer. The spirits obeyed the order. But as soon as he became the Bone Deer, he ran away. Can you bring it back here?
You brought us "Deer on the Bone." How cute! The spirit seems to cherish the life in these bones. It looks like it has decided to stay here as a pet.
-
Life is sweet.
Conductor
I just remembered that lump of sugar.... Where is it? Looks like this one was stolen too. What a series of difficulties today, I can't believe I've been looking for something all day...
I shouldn't have asked for the lumps of sugar. The ones I had crushed beforehand are gone, but the original sugar itself is still there, exactly as it was.
-
Clean hands.
Conductor
I don't see any bamboo tongs either. They're a necessity for tea parties. Who wants tongs? Now I have to find tongs...
Do you know how to use bamboo tongs? Are you the type to pick up a lump of sugar with your bare hands?
-
Pour in tea leaves.
Conductor
Also, I don't see the bamboo spoon you use to put the tea leaves in. Can you help me find these too?
Who stole all my belongings? Some of the more expensive items, well, the bamboo spoon is worth a certain amount of money, but? Shall I call the police?
-
Care of the teapot
Conductor
We need to find these places now. There must be a reason why our tools were stolen. Oh, I don't see the brush I use to clean my teapot. It looks like someone took a set of my belongings. Where should I look? Any idea?
You said the brush for the teapot was here all along and not going anywhere? Maybe I'm sick and my memory is impaired.
-
Graceful tea strainer
Conductor
I'd like to make you a cup of tea, but I'm having trouble. All the accessories I need are gone! I can't even find the tea strainer! If it's not here, it must have been stolen. No, I'm sure of it. I'm not the type of person who would leave a tea strainer somewhere. I'll have to ask you to look for it again.
You found the tea strainer! It's a precious gift, full of good memories.
-
Economic Issues
Detective
Let's move on down the list. To visit a prisoner, you need a deposit against a signed, undisclosed document. What the hell? And it's not a small amount. We're going to have to come up with something. Otherwise, I'll be late to meet Cesare Borgia. Go get the deposit right away.
You've brought the documents proving the deposit. That's the last thing you need to get a visit from Cesare Borgia.
-
confidential information
Detective
Read ahead. "You will only be allowed access to the prisoner Cesare Borgia if you have a signed non-disclosure agreement." Now we're clear. Confidentiality, huh? You have to sign a non-disclosure document.
Have you prepared the signed, undisclosed documents? Good, now we can interrogate Cesare Borgia soon.
-
clinical examination
Detective
What else is on the list to see Cesare Borgia? You need a health certificate to visit a prisoner? I don't have a choice...
Did you have any trouble getting a health certificate? Interesting though. Where is Borgia imprisoned that she needs a health certificate to visit?
-
Official Documents
Detective
In other words, to visit the prisoner Cesare Borgia, you have to collect the entire list of documents. Let's give it a try. The first one is your ID. Do you have it? No? Then bring it.
It's good to know that identification is easy to find. Now you can check off the first item on your list. You are now one step closer to meeting Cesare Borgia!
-
Explanation by Mayor
Detective
Interrogating a prisoner, namely Cesare Borgia, is not going to be easy. I bet the mayor will tell us what to do. Apparently, you will need to gather a lot of documents. Pay the mayor and ask him for a list of all the documents you need.
Oh, the Mayor has done it! I'm going to need a lot of paperwork to meet with the Borgias! Hope it's worth it. That Cesare guy, there's no way he's going to shut up and not answer where the guide's distiller is and why he stole it!
-
Follow the hidden path.
Detective
The passageway directly below the editorial office where Adeline works is a perfect escape route for a thief... I guess we'd better not let anyone know. Buddy, let's take a closer look around. Maybe the thieves dropped something on their way out.
I'm pretty sure these rivets are from the killer's clothing. Let me see. It's made of pure metal, hardly a scratch on it... it must have come from a new garment, or one that was carefully cared for. But this rose...I know I've seen it somewhere recently.
-
The Secret Passage
Inspector
No one on the street saw who stole Adeline's lens. Besides, the way the cookie pieces are scattered around is very distinctive... yeah, why don't we look for a secret door or something? Can you help me move some furniture? My back has been weak lately, probably due to age... do you see any secret doors anywhere?
This is quite a fancy loophole! The editorial office where Adeline works is in an old mansion, so it's no wonder there are secret loopholes like this. Look at the detective! She looks so happy to get the investigation she's been longing for. I bet he thinks he's lucky...
-
lenient mistake
Detective
Stealing only the lens with the pet and breaking the cup in your haste... that doesn't sound quite plausible. Regardless, let's find some pet treats! I'm sure he had some ready for his little buddy.
Shortbread, you say? Adeline is the type of person who cares about her figure. And she wouldn't eat cookies on a visitor's couch without a plate. So it's definitely the killer's pet treat. There are some small pieces on the floor, so why don't we follow them... ah, that'll help us track down the culprit!
-
Piece of Truth
Inspector
The only thing the killer took from Adeline was the lens, but it's possible that he touched something else in the editorial office. She could have dropped or moved something small without realizing it herself. Come to think of it, Adeline had a lot of cups on the table. Let's check those to see if there is anything unusual about them.
Even the smartest criminals are often caught for trivial things. This cup probably broke because the criminal was in a hurry. If Adeline had broken it, she would have cleaned up the pieces. Wait a minute. Are these... animal tracks? Did the thieves have a pet? I'll add that to the report.
-
Fragile and stolen goods
Detective
Buddy, someone broke into the editorial office and took something from Adeline! Poor thing, she's totally freaked out. Can you give me a hand so I can check out the crime scene? The culprit stole an expensive lens. Let's take a closer look at the camera body first. Can you go find the camera for me?
Without the lens, no matter how sophisticated the camera is, it won't do you any good. The lens seems to have been removed very carefully. Not a single fingerprint was left behind... the guy must be pretty smart. But there's one thing that doesn't add up. What are they going to do with just the lens? Without the camera, what's the point?
-
Lighting Adjustment
Detective
The picture is too dark to see his face. Need to shine a light on Jacob's portrait. A candle or flashlight would be nice.
What a lamp! It's scary when you see it at night. Let's use it as soon as possible!
-
trick photography
Detective
That's strange. There's nothing in the picture. There really is magic in that portrait. What if we take a picture of the portrait in a mirror? Then the magic wouldn't affect it.
Okay, a mirror this size would be perfect. I'll prop it up and you can take a picture of Jacob's portrait.
-
Battery charging
Detective
The camera shutter is not working. It's like the battery is dead. I don't like advanced technology at all. ...... Half the world is dead if it's turned off. I need to find something to charge my phone. There must be all kinds of artifacts in this hall.
Be careful not to burn out the camera. We don't know how much power the artifact has. Quickly take a picture of Jacob's portrait before the mistress of the mansion returns. Before the mistress of the mansion returns.
-
portrait photograph
Detective
I wouldn't mind touching Jacob's picture.... I bet the magic that's on it isn't just the blindfold. How am I supposed to pick it up? No, let's not grab it out, let's take that picture. Find me a phone with a camera.
Interesting model. Now, let's take a picture of the portrait and leave.
-
Heart-shaped directions
Detective
Hurry up and open the glass door of the cabinet and take out the crystal. Hopefully it will show me where the portrait is hidden, as I predicted.
Bring the crystal to the lamp. The inside of the crystal is starting to glow. You see a silhouette. Rays of light are radiating from the crystal, illuminating a blur in the corner of the room... It's an old photo of Jacob and his bride! Looks like it was hidden by the magic of the blindfold.
-
Enter the hall.
Detective
Remember when we walked into the wedding hall? We used a heart-shaped crystal! That magic thing got us into the entrance of the hall. I'm sure that thing will help us find Jacob's picture. I can see the crystal glowing behind the glass in the display cabinet. I wonder if we could break the glass. No, that would make a loud noise, and the mistress might come out. Don't give me the evil eye. Better find the key. Juliette will know where the key is.
This is the key to the cabinet. The crystal is in it.
-
Harder than lead
Professor
Adeline is eccentric. But there's a lot of good stuff in that curly head of hers. For example, the idea of restoring van Eyck's formula. He is known to have experimented with "lead salt"...look for it.
It seems that Di Fiori used "lead salts" similar to those used in living paintings. It hardens the paint faster. Don't try this at home!
-
Dangerous Prizes
Cardsharp
Let me tell you a story to let the spirit of fear know that the spirit of Halloween is still alive in this city. This card cheater has been through a lot of scary stuff in his life! One time I was playing poker and was given a treasure map as a prize. No, I didn't cheat, I got it legitimately... anyway, I'm sure there was a duplicate of that map around here somewhere... can you help me find it?
Here's the map. My opponent, who lost to me, said I shouldn't go looking for the treasure right now. It was right around Halloween. But I thought he said that because he wanted the treasure for himself.
-
unforeseen consequences
Valerie
If I'm going to convince the spirits of death that the spirit of Halloween is still properly alive in the city, I need to tell them how this story ends. I answered the voice I could hear in the mirror. But to tell you the ending, I need the bracelet I'm wearing. Wait a minute, I'll get it. What? My bracelet is gone! It was on my wrist just now, where the hell did it go?
I heard a voice from inside the mirror and at the same time I saw someone's silhouette there. It walked slowly, and it got to the frame part of the mirror. And then a hand came out again. And in that hand was this bracelet.
-
Danger Lurking Behind the Glass
Valerie
I am sure the spirits of the dead who hear my story will realize that there is a Halloween spirit in town. When the hand came out of the mirror, I knew I had to do something. So I decided to smash the mirror with a hammer. It was a very sturdy hammer. If you find it, you will know what happened next.
For something so sturdy, I couldn't get a single scratch on the mirror. The mirror didn't just bounce off the hammer, it broke it. Then I heard a voice from the mirror. It was calling me to come closer to it.
-
imaginary problem
Conductor
Adeline is asking everyone to look for ingredients used in paints mixed by someone named van Eyck. She insists that we look for "pine essential oil. Just say "essential oil! Why don't we look for that?
This pine or something... essential oil was used by painters to dilute their paints. Take it to Adeline. I'm sure she'd be drawn to the smell. I'd like to see it.
-
Painter's Amber
Isabelle
Adeline's theory is interesting. It may indeed be van Eyck's paint that brought Di Fiori's paint to life. Look for "dammar resin." That's what the masters used in their formulations.
Dammar resin" was used by artists, but also by alchemists. It is a hardened conifer resin, similar to amber. I'll look into this more closely.
-
The existence of hidden fears
Valerie
The spirits of death will surely like my story and become my allies. But for that to happen, I need to recreate the atmosphere I was feeling at the time. I noticed a hand sticking out of the mirror and covered it with a thick shawl. I'm sure I have a similar shawl around here somewhere... let's see if we can find it.
This is exactly the shawl I used at the time! I covered the mirror with it and in the morning it was off the mirror... and I could see someone's silhouette under it.
-
strange phenomenon
Valerie
I am sure my story will please the spirits of the dead. But for that to happen, I need to give all the details in detail. I put the mirror near my bed and went to sleep. In the middle of the night I woke up to find a hand reaching out to me from inside the mirror! It was a very cold hand... I need a duplicate of the mirror to convey this coldness.
You can feel the coldness through the mirror, can't you? Do you know how horrible I felt that night? I didn't sleep a wink that night. But in the morning, my hands were gone.
-
Discovering Misfortune
Valerie
To prove to the spirits of the dead that the spirit of Halween still lingers in the city, I need to tell you a story I know. This happened on my first Halloween in the City of Shadows. It all started when I found an antique mirror decorated with a winged hourglass... can you find the mirror ornament?
I was surprised to see such a decoration on the back of the mirror. But I later found out why. The hourglass is a symbol of death. I brought the mirror home without knowing this.
-
Favorite coat of arms
Mistress
The king gave the land and position to his favorite, Madame d'Etiolles. Just look for the coat of arms of the Countess de Pompadour. If you really intend to perform the ridiculous ritual for the girl with the feather on her head and her man.
The "Marquise de Pompadour's coat of arms" would certainly help with that ritual...but then again, only one rank from only one king. Hmmm, still not much.
-
Royal Pets
Valerie
I know Miss Peacock will be in touch with the Colonel. I know what you need! The "Queen of Aragon" had bought a bunch of dogs. So her husband ordered a golden collar for her favorite pug dog. I saw that somewhere in town.
This collar is the cutest ritual gift I've ever received! I wish I could get one like this for my ferret Ed. I think she likes the natural beauty of it, though.
-
Reasons for confusion
Salem
I found out something new about Samhain's hall. The Wild Hunt left town after people stopped visiting here. But for some reason they got upset and came back to town. My name was mentioned in the message from the spirits. But I don't know the details. Let's see if any of my belongings are here.
This planchette was given to me by Jack as a symbol of my ability to communicate with the dark forces. I see...now I know what has drawn the ire of the Wild Hunt. They resent the fact that a human woman has become Queen of the Night.
-
Health and Arts
Juliette
So Adeline wants to reveal the secret of Di Fiori's living paintings. She thinks he may have gotten help from van Eyck's paints. He says the paints contain "linseed oil." Can you help me find it, dear friend?
Awesome. This "linseed oil" is the same stuff I use for cooking! Adeline told me that this oil binds the ingredients of oil paints together. Artists really know their stuff!
-
Precious deep blue
Cardsharp
The price of van Eyck's paints depends on the amount of blue paint used, my friends at heart. The secret lies in a precious mineral called lapis lazuli. Van Eyck used it to make his blue paint. That blue is worth more than an equal amount of gold! Let's find it. Let's find it and let the wise Adeline find out how to mix the paint.
It's the precious "lapis lazuli". It's a legendary ingredient in van Eyck's paints! The card cheater's intuition tells him that Di Fiori also used it in his paintings! Can I have some of that?
-
Signs of Anger
Salem
We can't save the people of the city if we don't know everything there is to know about Samhain's Hall. All we know so far is that this was an important place for both humans and the Wild Hunt. But if that's true, why have we never heard about this place? Let's look for the magic ball. The dark spirits may have left a message for us.
When I touched the magic ball that contained the Wild Hunt message, my heart was filled with sadness. Ever since Jack became a Halloween spirit, people no longer fear the Wild Hunt. And they stopped visiting Samhain's halls. Then the horsemen left town.
-
Beautiful Friendship
Huntress
I have read about a place the Wild Hunt used to visit on Halloween. They brought blizzards and cold to the world after they visited that place. Humans made offerings to appease the Wild Hunt, and in exchange, the Wild Hunt would not kidnap humans. If this is the place, then surely there must be an offering...
You found a tribute. Humans brought these offerings to avoid being kidnapped by the Wild Hunt and becoming part of its entourage. To become one of them meant not only losing one's soul, but one's heart would be covered in ice.
-
Relationship of opposites
Inspector
Samhain's halls have a lot to do with what people in the city are currently into. Let's explore how they are related. Martha says the raven on the box symbolizes life and death. Also, there were two lanterns nearby, one with a normal fire, the other with a strange blue light. Let's check that out, shall we?
The golden flame of one lantern is warm, but the fire in the other lantern is cold. Look at this. There are words inscribed on it in Latin. A symbol of the Wild Hunt and the unity of mankind... a very unusual item!
-
Symbols of Memories
Juliette
I'm not going to give up! The mistress has gone off to a party, so she won't notice if I'm away from the mansion for a while. So let me help you. I want to help the detective... and the others. To help everyone, we first need to figure out what this place is! We have to find one item at a time that will help us solve the mystery. Oh, by the way, there was a strange box with a mysterious glow. Where was it?
The words are inscribed under the black and white raven... "Memory Box in the Halls of Samhain". What could be inside?
-
Fear and Awe
Mistress
So this is Samhain's hall! I know it's in the dark legends, but I never thought it was real... I can feel the hostility from the Wild Hunt riders. Even I can't help but feel horrible just thinking about why they cast a spell on humans. I don't know if there's any way to save the detective and the others... but I can't stop thinking about it. Come on, get inside!
The flame mark on his hand is causing the people of the city to do the bidding of the spirit of the Wild Hunt. I wonder what that mark means...I get it. It means that you have been chosen as the newest member of the Wild Hunt's inner circle! Now if you'll excuse me. Have a nice day! Juliet, come on!
-
Capricious Beauty
Juliette
Dear friend, I remember my best friend Charlotte telling me about her dream. She told me that she wanted to play the role of Kitori in the ballet Don Quixote. Now my dream is to rescue her from her magical prison. Could you help me find some items related to the role of Kitori?
A great spencer. It's part of the costume of the brave and beautiful Kitori in the ballet Don Quixote. With this, Charlotte's soul and the souls of the other ballerinas can rest in peace!
-
swan (Cygnus Bechstein, Cygnus ssp.)
Adeline Svensson
Juliette reminded me of Claudine, one of the ballerinas killed by Madame Dirichlet. She said she dreamed of playing Odette in "Swan Lake." Let's look for items related to Princess Odette. That will get us closer to freeing those unfortunate ballerinas.
This is "Odette's crown. I wonder if Claudine would have stood on stage wearing it if she hadn't been prevented by the silly pride of that witch, Madame Dirichlet.
-
Lilac Witch
Isabelle
For Martha to free the souls of the ballerinas, she needs an item that represents their dreams and life plans. Juliette reminded me about one of the young ballerinas. Maria dreamed of dancing the "Dance of the Sugar Spoon" in "The Nutcracker. Find items related to this role.
You've found the Tiara of the Confetti Spirit. The ballerina who dreams of this role loves festivals. You were a kind and pleasant girl.
-
black swan
Valerie
We have to scoop up the souls of the ballerinas killed by that evil dean, I promise! Juliette told me that one of them was a very smart girl. Her name was Emilia, and she wasn't afraid of any difficult role. Hey, let's find one that fits the "Black Swan" image!
The feather ornament we found fits the image of Odile in "Swan Lake." Now we can free the souls of the ballerinas from the "academy".
-
Princess of the Dawn
Juliette
If Martha is to free the souls of the ballerinas, there is one item she needs. It is the item that represents the dreams of those girls whose lives were taken away by the dean along with theirs. Every student at the Academy dreamed of playing a role on the big stage. For example, Lizzie dreamed of playing Princess Aurora. Let's find a symbolic item for that role.
Lizzie had the grace to play Princess Aurora in the ballet Sleeping Beauty. Had Madame Dirichlet not stolen her soul, Lizzie would surely have shone on stage.
-
supreme talent
Conductor
To get Madame Dirichlet's necklace, you have to find it in her possession. I've been through a lot, but this Augustine Dirichlet gives me chills down my spine. She has promised the souls of six young dancers to the devil! But how did she plan to harvest their souls? Let's find out.
That's right! That witch opened this "ballet academy". To find talented dancers to pay their souls to the devil. She got five. And Juliet was supposed to be the sixth!
-
increase the risk of
Detective
You need Madame Dirichlet's items. So Martha can tune into her aura and find the necklace. I know that type of woman, man. They don't want to pay the devil their souls when it's due. No doubt Madame Dirichlet is changing the terms of the deal. Let's see if I'm right.
You found a tarot card with "six pentacles." Apparently, Madame Dirichlet used this card to read the will of the devil. Sorry buddy, I don't know how to read tarot cards. I'll ask Martha.
-
Ancestral Power
Empress
I may be able to heal the golden ox's physical wounds, but his spiritual power is also depleted from having supported the sun. Could you please bring the magic Chinese sword? This ancient weapon is equipped with spiritual power accumulated over the years. I will transfer that energy to the golden bull.
When you held this Chinese sword in your hand, you must have felt your own energy rise. This sword contains the strong spiritual power of great warriors accumulated over the centuries. The golden bull is the zodiac sign of serenity and wisdom, but it needs the strength of its ancestors to stand on its own two feet and take to the skies.
-
Compensation Date
Valerie
I need to find Madame Dirichlet's necklace. To do that I have to find a few items that still have her aura. Giving your soul to the devil for fame is crazy. Perhaps one of the items in the "academy" counts as a compensatory due date?
Oh no! Isn't that blood in this hourglass? That's a creepy looking hourglass. Martha says this thing counts the date of Augustine Dirichlet's CODE... and that date is already here.
-
measures against despair
Mistress
Well, whatever. I'll help you find Madame Dirichlet's items. Maybe Martha will be in tune with her aura and find the necklace's hiding place. An unsuccessful artist like Dirichlet can't become a star overnight. You look for a red candle or a pentagram. Then you'll see what I mean.
Yes, you guessed it. Madame Dirichlet used these to summon the devil. She traded her soul for success on the stage. Desperation can turn a man into a monster.
-
unforeseen consequences
Mayor
You say that the reason the ballerina's ghosts can't leave the "Academy" is because of the "Rector's Necklace. Martha is going to help them find the necklace, but in order to do so, they need to find items related to the Rector. I think he may have been a ballet star in his youth. I found an old poster somewhere. You'll have to find it.
This poster is advertising a ballet performance, "Dances with the Devil"...oh, yes! It's a stage performance by the famous ballerina Augustine Dirichlet.
-
unexpected relief
Martha
Young Juliette struggled to escape a terrible fate and an invisible enemy. The girl survived that horrible night. But what ultimately helped her escape the "ballet academy"? Bring me the artifacts of the city. Let's see what happened.
I've tuned into Juliette's memories with the power of connecting artifacts. I can feel her fear... you are desperate to escape... willing to do whatever it takes... I see it... a letter from the past. Let's read it.
-
Safe Hiding Place
Valerie
Some evil force took Charlotte and came back to take Juliette... how could she have escaped such danger? Oh! Stay close to me. I'm scared! If I were you, I'd hide somewhere when I'm scared. The bad guys were closing in on Juliette. You have to find out if she's hid anywhere in the past.
This "cabinet" was built specifically to hide from the evil one. Juliette remembered it. Juliette recalled that when she woke up one night and heard the screams of the devil, this is where she hid.
-
A Call from Another World
Isabelle
We need to know how Juliette escaped from the "ballet academy." She remembers the night she woke up to a strange sound. Something whispering, something calling to her...she saw an anomaly on the wall of this "academy". Maybe that's what's making that noise. Look for it.
You found the "disc-shaped music box." My anomaly sensor is going off when I go near this place. This disc-shaped music box is cursed. The curse is affecting the sound coming out of it.
-
Spikes on ballet shoes
Huntress
Juliette had fallen into equipment at the "ballet academy". But how could she escape? Juliette remembered that she had picked up something sharp and strange in the garden. She had put it on her ballet shoe. But why? Find it.
Juliette used to wear "spikes" on her ballet shoes. If you put this on, even if an unknown force made you put on ballet shoes and dance while you were asleep, the pain of stepping on the spikes would wake you up.
-
Danger from outside
Conductor
How did Juliette manage to escape from the "ballet academy"? If Juliette sleepwalked like Charlotte, I am sure she locked herself in her room at night. Maybe she had an extra lock or used a "door stopper". Look for something like that.
Juliette must have been sleepwalking too. Every night she would put this stopper across the door to keep herself from slipping out of her room.
-
Nightmare Capture Spellware
Juliette
How did I escape the fate that Charlotte and the other dancers followed? Help me remember what happened. I remember that I started having the same nightmares as Charlotte. The same nightmares that had tormented me before Charlotte's disappearance. Did you by any chance make a dream catcher? I need you to find it for me.
You are definitely an amateur at making these "dream catchers"...oh dear friend, I just remembered! I made this one. I made it out of beads, bird feathers, and thread. I used it to protect myself from nightmares.
-
bad omen
Juliette
The dean's announcement indicates that Charlotte has been accepted into the ballet company. But I had reason to be suspicious of that. But what was it? Help me look for clues, dear friend. Please. Help me remember what happened to Charlotte. Look at that! Something moved around that corner!
That's Walnut, Charlotte's hamster! When I found out she had left her pet behind, I realized she never would have joined the ballet. She cared about Kurumi. She would never leave him.
-
Strange Curse
Adeline Svensson
I'm trying to find out what happened to Juliette's best friend. If Charlotte disappeared without leaving any clues, then there must have been someone looking for her. There must be some newspaper article about this sensational case! But there's nothing in the old tabloids. Let's look some more. Maybe there will be some clues?
I found an envelope with a postcard in the basket of flowers Charlotte got me. It reads. So Charlotte didn't just disappear!
-
Dancing in a dream
Juliette
Dear friend, I'm remembering more and more funny things that happened to Charlotte. At first it was just nightmares. Sleeping pills didn't help either. Then she started walking around in her sleep like a sleepwalker... I think it had something to do with her old ballet shoes! Please find them.
These tattered shoes belonged to Charlotte! We shared the same room and sometimes she would dance in her sleep. I had to wake her up. Shortly after that, my best friend disappeared...
-
ominous omen
Detective
Buddy, it's already dawn and some of the mirrors in the "ballet academy" have a blood red moon in them! What the hell is going on here? Find me the mirror with the moon in it. My gut is telling me. It has something to do with what happened to Charlotte.
Just one glance at the ominous moon in the mirror and Juliette will remember you! Charlotte said she was plagued by nightmares of dancing with the devil under a blood-red moon.
-
Best Dancers
Inspector
It seems that every time Juliette looks at an item from her past, her memory comes back. If she collects those items, she will know why her best friend Charlotte died. According to Juliette, after Charlotte received a brooch given to outstanding ballerinas, strange things started happening to her. Let's find out, shall we?
There's something engraved on this brooch. 'To the best student at the academy' According to Juliette's memory, it was after she got this title that strange things started happening around Charlotte.
-
School altercation
Juliette
The more I remember, the more I find a connection between me and the "ballet academy." My dear friend, that magnetic cup is also somewhat suspicious. Please bring it back. I don't know why I don't want to go near it.
You have a frog in a magnetic cup! I almost dropped the cup. The frog ran off into the garden. I'm starting to remember... someone has harassed me like this before.
-
The Power of Dreams
Valerie
I'm trying to figure out the connection between that "academy" and Juliette. I was just thinking about it and Juliette remembered something about ballet shoes. There must be some secret hidden in there. Go find out.
Nice shoes! They look like toe shoes, but they have heels. They must have been custom-made by the young ballerina's mother when she was alive.
-
healing root
Monk
The important thing is that the mind and body are in harmony. There are medicines that can cure even physical injuries of animals of the zodiac. Find me the divine yellow loosestrife. It's said that its roots have the power to cure all diseases on earth and in heaven.
You've found the divine Kibana Ogi. Apparently, you have been given a special talent for finding things by the inhabitants of heaven. This root has been known for thousands of years as a cure-all for all ills. It is said to be effective not only for earthly dwellers but also for heavenly creatures. It will surely heal the wounds of the golden bull!

Pleasant Atmosphere
Yui
If you intend to heal the golden bull's injuries, panicking and worrying will be counterproductive. Clearing out the sun pavilion and putting up incense would create the right atmosphere to heal him. Do you know where the sacred incense is?
That sacred incense you found smells like gentian! Come on, let's light it. The golden bull's mind is in turmoil... he seems very worried that the sun has gone down. Let's hope the good smell of this incense will calm him down and help him concentrate on his recovery.

Sharing Power
Empress
The golden bull is so ancient a creature that it is quite difficult to harmonize with his inner energy. Therefore, we would like to ask you to find a ceremonial bull mask with us. With it, I believe we can get closer to the golden bull and his inner energy.
Thank you for finding the ritual masks. I intend to wear this when I heal the wounds of the golden bull. It is a very simple method, but should be helpful in attuning to his inner energy. Without his connection, I will not be able to heal him.

Festive Costumes
Empress
Let me take care of it. I know what to do. The golden bull cannot be cured by ordinary means. He is the oldest sign of the zodiac. Look for a festive red costume. I will explain later why it is necessary for the ritual.
You have found a nice red outfit! According to the calendar, Chinese New Year will soon arrive. And the golden bull is next year's zodiac sign. A red costume for the Chinese New Year will help create the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, when the power of the golden bull is at its strongest.

Away from home
Inspector
We need an item to prove the connection between Juliette and the "Ballet Academy". Juliette was walking down the hall when she stopped to look at a handbag with a broken handle. Something about it looked familiar to her. She said she felt like she'd fixed that bag before. Could you bring it to me? I'll take a closer look.
This bag looks like it has been used for many trips. It looks tattered and the handles are torn off. What does the letter "L" on the key chain mean?

southern island
Yui
There's something else that contains the energy of the sun! It is the Chalice of the Phoenix. It is full of the most ancient energy of the southern lands, the kingdom of the sun. It will fill the sun deprived of energy. Find with me this chalice in the shape of a phoenix!
You found the Phoenix Chalice. You can feel the warmth from it, can't you? This relic is full of the energy of the sun. Because in China, the phoenix, or the phoenix on this chalice, is the embodiment of the female yin energy, but also a symbol of the warm and beautiful south.
-
The pain of loss
Martha
The things in the "ballet academy" that Juliette misses will tell you something about her relationship to this place. You seem to remember the hat from the Academy. Bring it to me. I'll read the aura.
The young ballerina who brought this hat to the "academy" was apparently mourning the loss of her mother. So this black hat is part of her mourning attire.
-
Childhood Dreams
Juliette
Dear friend, the longer I'm at the "Ballet Academy" the more I miss this place... I knew you knew one of the students here, didn't you? I wish I could remember something... hey, I noticed something. That little ballerina statue over there. Bring it here.
How cute is this "porcelain ballerina"? This statue is old, but it was obviously used with great care. The owner must have dreamed of being a ballerina since she was a little girl.

A real gem
Cardsharp
To complete the image of the dramatic endgame in my mind, you will need a crimson trident. With it, you will look even more sinister. Just like the real devil! What? This is my debut work! Please, help me! It doesn't have to be for me, but for that beautiful Mary.
I can't thank you enough! You found the perfect trident for my demon. May I keep it as a reward after I perform?
-
Gateway to Hell
Valerie
And let's not forget the props. In the play, the devil is supposed to emerge from the gates of hell, right? But there's nothing onstage at the moment. Without that all-important stage set, the card cheaters won't be able to finish the play. We need to find something to be the entrance to hell.
This stage set would look like the entrance to hell. The way this red fabric is twisted, it looks like a real entrance to hell. Much better than just shining a light on a piece of plywood.
-
Important Items
Cardsharp
I feel like signing a contract with the devil! Why don't we find a quill pen, or better yet. A feather-bladed dagger. I'm going to use it to cut my fingertips and use the blood to sign a pact with the devil! What? Everyone knows how to make a deal with the devil!
You've found an amazing dagger. Thin blade with a golden hilt inlaid with rubies. Perfect for a demon item!
-
Costumes from Hell
Detective
If we can play the devil's advocate and follow the play, we need to change what the card cheaters are wearing. Take off all that stuff he's wearing that's all jingling about for good luck or whatever. Let's find a jacket worthy of the devil.
You found a great one! I love the idea of wearing something like this to a masquerade ball, buddy. I like the soft fabric, the tight-fitting collar, and the cape attached to the shoulders.

Comfortable shoes
Adeline Svensson
The play's scenario is nearing its end. Soon the actors will be free from the influence of this strange play. The play is taking an unexpected turn. In an attempt to break William's curse, Mary has invoked the devil. Lo and behold, a card cheater comes forward to play the part of this devil. Let's find a red pointy shoe for him.
You've found the perfect "pointy shoe" for your devil costume. Do you think they'll fit a card cheater?

Burnt by the sun
Bao
The Arctic Circle, where winter lasts for 10 months, is home to many wonderful legends. The people who live there make statues of "Kusu," the spirit of the waders, which appears in legends about the birth of the sun. And it is said that this statue contains a lot of energy of the sun. Let's look for it together.
You found the statue of Kus! According to Arctic legend, the sun, moon, and stars were contained in a sphere held by a certain female spirit. Kusu then tricked this spirit into entering its dwelling, breaking the sphere with her beak and missing the sun that was inside. However, Kusu was then burned by the sun. Since then, the wings of the Watariras turned black.

The Way the Sun Goes Through
Monk
The energy that can heal the sun is contained in relics from around the world that symbolize the sun. The Egyptian sacred beetle figurine is one of them. Now, let me tell you where to find it.
I see you have found the Holy Beetle figurine. There is nothing that cannot be found if one searches carefully. In Egyptian mythology, the sacred beetle is closely related to the sun god Ra. It was believed that the sacred beetle, which moved from east to west, symbolized the movement of the sun.
-
Mask of Legend
Mei
We need an ancient symbol of the sun to infuse energy into our weakened sun. Perhaps we can try to find the Mask of Nyambi. This mask appears in ancient legends about the creation of a beautiful world lit by the sun.
You found the mask of Nyambi. Nyambi is a legendary African god who created humans from lava. The humans created by him were made to pass through a sacred fire. This ancient mask contains the energy of fire, life, and the sun.

calming effect
Inspector
I find the role of Juliet very difficult. What a role to play to cheer up the girl who ruined her lover! Julie thinks that if she makes a cup of tea and settles down, Mary will regain her composure and her head will start to work. Let's find her the right teapot and cups, shall we?
You found a great "tea set"! You should give this to Juliette. I have to roast some tea to relax Mary before she goes on stage.
-
solar battery
Fabien Delamode
I had to find a way to give Angelique some energy at any cost! I made a dress for her out of a fabric that absorbs light. If she wears this, the sun's energy may give her life. Bring the light-absorbing dress. She should already be getting enough sunlight.
This light-absorbing dress looks great on Angelique, in style, color, and material...but I don't see her being restored by the sun's energy. What a surprise! Apparently, we will have to think of another way. Oh, I really don't want to lose Angelique!
-
A Drop of Common Sense
Detective
My partner, Julie, wants to bring a glass of water to the stage. Because a glass of cold water would calm Mary down. But there's not a drop of water in this theater! So, I thought, why not get water from the well? At least we can act like we're drinking. Can you help me install the well prop next to the heroine?
Thanks, buddy! I couldn't have done it without you. This well set attached to the stage would be perfect for fetching fresh water for the next scene.
-
Balance is important
Valerie
Juliette is going to play the part of comforting Mary. That's my area of expertise, let me advise you. Find a pillow filled with herbs. I have one at home filled with lavender. It's been my go-to for soothing a broken heart.
You found a cute little pillow. Is there herbs in it? Let me smell it. It smells of lavender and peony. It's the perfect scent for relaxation. It will calm Mary right down.
-
Stage Decorations
Juliette
If I'm going to finish the play and save the actors, I'll need to decorate it appropriately for the play. I need flowers for my role. The stage needs to be decorated with potted plants, vases, and tables. Real flowers would be best. Can you help me find some?
Oh, those are beautiful tulips! I never would have guessed that such a lovely flower could be mixed in with a prop made of cardboard. And there's a little handwritten note on it. Take a look!
-
Sign of the Sun
Yui
Let's restore the sun and fill it with light energy. To do this, we need to collect symbols of the sun from around the world. First, the Aztec calendar. There must be some pretty powerful energy in it.
Have you found the Aztec calendar? This is a calendar system that originated in an ancient civilization and is in perfect harmony with the cycles of celestial movement. According to legend, the Aztec calendar, permeated with the ancient magic of the sun, was also called "the sign of the sun.

pairwise harmony
Bao
In severing the line connecting the Tiangongu and the sun, it is very important that no further damage be done to the sun. If the sun itself were destroyed, it would be irreversible. With the harmony disk, such an event could be avoided. Please look for it.
If we had not found this harmony disk, we would have been in serious trouble. It contains the power of opposites, or "yin and yang". Borrowing it, we should be able to break the line of energy created by the heavenly ngu without damaging the sun.
-
space noise
Monk
Dark energy is often unstable. Because its essence is confusion, when harmony returns, darkness loses its power. If the pendulum of equilibrium is found, perhaps the line used by the heavenly dogs to siphon off the sun's energy will also lose its power.
How dare you find the pendulum of equilibrium. This regular movement should bring order and restore equilibrium to everything that has energy. The dark and unstable energies of the heavenly dogs will not be able to resist the cosmic equilibrium for long.
-
Rhythms of Life
Yui
There are many spellcasters who use musical instruments to exorcise evil spirits. Evil spirits don't like loud noises. Could you find a magic percussion instrument? If you have it, it should help in breaking the line that the heavenly dogs are using to steal the sun's energy.
Good thing I found the magic percussion instrument. When the Martha ritual begins, I will use this percussion instrument to play the rhythms that the greedy heavenly dogs hate. This is a skill I acquired a long time ago, and it looks like I'll finally be able to put it to good use.
-
the power of one's mind
Empress
There are multiple ways to destroy the line connecting the heavenly dog and the sun, but you will probably need to use them all. Heavenly salt is very effective in exterminating evil spirits. Let's look for it.
Thank you for finding the heavenly salt. This salt contains a lot of chi power. It should help to dispel the dark energy that is creating the line connecting the heavenly dogs and the sun. We must do something before the heavenly dog absorbs all the heat from the sun!
-
Traps to catch the darkness
Martha
Looks like the heavenly dog is sucking energy out of the line leading to the sun. But it will take a powerful force to destroy it. Let's perform a ritual to free the sun from the heavenly dogs. First, we need an energy collector.
You found an energy-gathering device. With this magical device, we could set a special trap for the heavenly goblin. And once this evil spirit is caught, we can cut off the lian that it is using to steal energy from the sun.
-
danger lurking in the dark
Bao
Someone may have tried to put a powerful curse on the sun by sending a light-destroying darkness. I would like to use a spellbook to confirm this, but they are very rare and have not been seen in this city for a long time. Can you manage to find it?
You have found the spell book. This paper contains immeasurable magical power. Magicians have spent years mastering the art of making such amulets. With this spellbook, you may be able to ascertain whether the sun has been cursed or not.
-
The Nature of Darkness
Yui
The stars tell us about a dark presence that has enveloped the sun... If the wise monk intends to find out about the nature of this darkness, he will need a special item. Could you help me find the eternal knot? It's equipped with immeasurably superior properties!
You've found the eternal knot! It has mystical powers, and it contains enormous amounts of light energy. With its power, surely the monk will be able to discover the true nature of the darkness that has enveloped the sun. Once we know that, we will also know how we should fight our enemies.
-
one's mental strength being stronger than ever
Monk
I intend to perform an ancient ritual to find out where the darkness that is robbing the sun of its power comes from. Jade is a precious stone, also known as the "stone of life," that will protect my soul from danger while I am in a trance. Can you help me find some jade beads?
Thanks for finding me those jade beads. Gold has a high monetary value, but it is said that jade has a value that cannot be put a price on. This quiet bead will put me in a trance and the eleven virtues in the jade will protect my soul from negative power.

best friend
Adeline Svensson
Juliette has taken on an important task. She's going to continue the magical play and set the actors free. She will go on stage as Mary's friend. But she needs an appropriate costume for the role. Our heroine's friend is a flower vendor, so she needs an apron. Find these items for your stage role.
You found some great aprons! Julie will love it. It's just what I needed to create the image of a flower vendor, a romantic image loved by artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

watchful eye
Bao
A proud monk is trying to identify the darkness that is trying to destroy the sun. A Taoist eyeball may help him. He says that with it he can see everything that is lurking in the darkness. Would you please find it for the monk?
This is definitely a real Taoist centerpiece! Legend has it that this ancient relic can tell us the origins of darkness and where evil lurks. What's more, this eyeball is said to contain knowledge about the creations of this world and everything that surrounds us.
