source of perfume
Juliette
The first thing you need to make perfume paste is beeswax. I am sure there is beeswax in the apiary, but I am too scared to go near it. They won't help me. I don't know where I can find it, but could you get me some beeswax?
Thank you for finding the beeswax. This is the source of the perfume. Actually, this is the first time in my life that I am making this perfume. I will follow the recipe so that I don't make any mistakes.

Useful Accessories
Doorkeeper
When I was a sheepherder, I used to put special tags around the necks of my sheep. So that I could tell at a glance which lost sheep belonged to which shepherd. Can you find me a tag with a ribbon on it?
You found a very beautiful tag. This will keep the letters from disappearing in the rain. Put the address and the name of the lamb here, so that in case Tommy and Emily run away again, the person who finds them will let you know.
-
Melody of Escape
Doorkeeper
You have all the tools you need to find and catch those lambs, but what if those kids try to run away again? When I was a shepherd, I used to put bells around the sheep's necks. That way, I'd know where they were right away. Can you help me find the bells?
You've found your bell. But which lamb should we put on...? Let's find out if Tommy or Emily is more rambunctious and then decide which one to put the bell on. That way, we can rely on the sound of the bell to catch the sheep trying to escape.
-
Sheep's favorite treat
Doorkeeper
When I was a shepherd in the mountains of Norway, I always carried a bag full of treats for my sheep. I needed it to lure the escaped lambs, so could you go find it for me?
I'm glad you found the feed bag. Thanks for the help! Let's put some yummy carrots in this thing. I'm sure Tommy and Emily will come by.
-
magic melody
Doorkeeper
I found a hat to give the shepherd's look, but it would not be enough to find and catch the lambs on the loose. When I was in Norway, I used to call the sheep back by blowing a whistle. But that was no ordinary whistle. It was a whistle with two tubes. Can you find me something similar?
This is a fine double whistle! You're not only attracting sheep, you're also attracting birds in the area! But before I go looking for the lamb, I need to do a little practice and remember the melody I used to blow before.
-
Shepherd's Look
Doorkeeper
Finding the lamb is one thing, but catching it is another. I'm thinking of wearing a shepherd's hat so that Tommy and Emily won't be too scared to run away. It's been a long time since I last wore it, but...help me find it, will you?
You found the shepherd's hat! Those kids are fast on the run, but they won't run away if they see this hat. Anyway, I'd just like to avoid getting lost in the fog!
-
Artist's tools
Martha
There's one more tool I need. A palette knife. The artist who painted me used it to make his portraits more expressive.
Did you find the palette knife? Let me see. Nice! Looks like it has the mark of a painter I know. Tell me later where you found this set.
-
Fairy tale characters
Huntress
What "animal" should I bring the ghost girl next? What did the children's fairy tale books say? Do you remember? Hmmm...find me some goat candy or something.
I'm sure the ghost will love these goat-shaped candies. But if you keep doing this, the ghost girl will keep asking for more and more. If you leave it to me, I'll get rid of the cheeky little brat. Then you can finally rest.
-
Big Ears Candy
Huntress
You say you're looking for something sweet in the shape of an animal? That's kind of a delicious use of time. Personally, though, I'm looking for something sweet in the shape of a werewolf. I've eaten a lot of that today... but a little girl ghost would prefer something different. How about a rabbit, for example?
That's great! The ghost girl loved the bunny candy. She's crazy about everything she finds. Keep giving her new "animals"!
-
Various paints
Martha
To paint portraits with magical powers, you need special paints. They are made of very rare materials, like dragon scales or fairy dust. Can you find them?
The paint on this palette is so vibrant! You could almost call them the colors of life! They are going to be wonderfully useful!
-
Professional paintbrush
Martha
Alex's portrait will be painted in oil paint. That means I need a paintbrush. I remember the artist who painted my portrait carefully selecting the brushes. He had two bags full of brushes. But we don't need that many. Go find some paintbrushes.
I can't believe it! Are there really oil painters in this city of shadows? Or did our guide help us? That man often finds the oddest things.
-
Pencil sketch
Martha
I need the right tools to paint portraits. I used to be a model for a famous painter. So I know how to draw. First, you make a sketch with a pencil. So find a pencil.
What a wonderful set of pencils. Perfect for sketching out my future drawings.
-
hemp canvas
Martha
To paint a portrait of a ghostly figure, you'll need special paints, a paintbrush, and a canvas. First, find a linen canvas. The right size.
You need the right size canvas to paint the best portraits.
-
Love Letter Cards
Cardsharp
You're being kind, you're helping everyone. Don't forget the poor credit card scammer. 3 stores. No, I'm not mad at you. I'm begging you. Please, please, please find me a card for Valentine's Day. I want to give it to a lady hunter. Bring me one that's not too sticky.
A Valentine's Day card without flowers, doves, or other silly sentimental things. This is what is noble and tasteful. The lady hunters will love my gift. What? A card is a nice gift. The important thing is to show her that I care about her! Well, besides, my finances aren't great right now...
-
Ribbon and Wrapping
Mayor
Yes, I think looks are very important for a gift. I've already picked out a gift for Martha. Onyx mortar and a pestle to grate herbs. Will you do me a favor? I want to wrap the gift. I need you to find me the right box for it.
A red box with a pretty ribbon, the very soul of Valentine's Day. Thanks for your help. I hope Martha is pleased with our efforts.
-
Expensive gifts
Detective
Flowers and toys are for kids. We're adults, right? Women want expensive gifts on Valentine's Day. It's a special day. In my experience, women like jewelry. Find me something that fits the occasion.
A pendant in the shape of a key to open a heart? This is what I've been looking for! It's just a pretty jewel. But to Juliette, it's a wonderful key that can open my heart.
-
Gentlemanly Gifts
Conductor
Hey, I heard you found a Valentine's Day gift for Alex. Really? I need your help, too. I need you to find a gift for Isabelle. I'm thinking a box of chocolates would be nice. She's your friend. Find me a nice box of chocolates with a variety of chocolates in it.
You brought all kinds of chocolates! This is a lovely idea. It's not particularly unique, though. Just give them a bottle of champagne or a bouquet or something along with them, it's a gentlemanly enough gift!
-
Big teddy bear
Alex
We, the men of the city, have decided to give gifts to the ladies on Valentine's Day. Romance, flowers, and gifts. You know what I mean. Anyway, there's a real competition to see who can give the best gift! I want to get Valerie something cute. Help me find something like a teddy bear.
Don't think teddy bears are the best gift for Valentine's Day. There's a reason why so many of these are sold every year at this time. Or maybe not... I'm not even sure what's right anymore...
-
Not for the cat.
Valerie
What kind of animal candy should I find for the ghost girl next? Ah! Oh, there was a candy in the shape of a mouse. When I was little, I always scared the cats away from that candy. Because cats like to catch mice. Go find some mouse candy.
Great! Now we have candy rats. Now we need to figure out what other animals to find. Let's ask someone for advice.
-
Souvenir locks
Mayor
Definitely the city is appealing to us for something. It's no coincidence that all the items have started showing up at the station. Can you believe it, the other day I found a locket with a tuft of my wife's hair in it that I thought I lost a long time ago. Can you bring that to me?
Thanks for bringing the rocket. I used to travel a lot as mayor. I always carried a lock of my wife's hair with me. I felt like she was always there for me.
-
A Million Red Roses
Huntress
I'm seeing more and more items from the real world past, from the city's inhabitants, showing up at the station. They're not monsters and don't seem to be of much importance to me. Who cares, right? But if you're so interested I've seen a few hearts made out of rose petals. Look for it! Definitely worth a closer look.
You found a heart made of rose petals. For some reason, it's alive. It's trembling and pulsating...or maybe it's the wind, or my imagination. I think I know who had this item.
-
Result of Curse
Juliette
Martha told me that you and your guide are trying to solve the mystery of the items from the past that appear in the station. Well, then you're missing something. There's a rose with magic on it, next to the newspaper kiosk. Go get it and I'll tell you a little secret. But be careful. That rose may be poisonous!
This dried rose used to be mine. It was given to me by someone who claimed to be my admirer. My mistress, in a fit of jealousy and envy, enchanted it. This is not the first time I have enchanted a gentleman who likes me... so I am still, alas, single.
-
Friendly little wolf
Valerie
If you collect animal candy, I have an idea where you might find some. I've seen them before, and I've eaten them. I once ate a wolf shaped candy while imagining I was protecting the three little pigs. Go find candy like that.
I like it. A friendly little wolf. And adorable! Of course, they're just candy. But this one is bigger and badder looking. That's why I ate them. The ghost girl must be thrilled. So far she loves the animal candies we found.
-
Mystery of the City
Conductor
A number of items have appeared around the station that are related to the past of the city's inhabitants. What the heck does this all mean? Let's collect as many of these items as we can and find out what's underneath all this. That carnival mask there just appeared out of nowhere right under my nose. Go get it and examine it carefully.
I'm not scared, and I've seen as much of what happens in the City of Shadows as anyone. But this mask scares me. Let's show Martha.
-
Delicious pigs
Valerie
It's been a week since the ghost girl showed up at my place. She keeps saying the same thing over and over again. Find me an animal! I need an animal!" What kind of "animals" am I supposed to find in the City of Shadows? Where am I supposed to find them? I have an idea! Do you think she likes sweet things in the shape of animals? Let's give it a try. First find some candy in the shape of a pig.
Look at this candy. It's shaped like a cute little piglet and has a ribbon on it! Hope the ghost girl likes these. Isn't it a great idea to find something sweet in the shape of an animal?
-
Capturing the Enemy
Huntress
You have to find the bola and throw it. Don't let the card cheaters run away in the fog. You can't catch them in the fog.
I did it! After one throw, the card cheater fell down with a tangle of legs. I didn't expect him to swallow the trick so quickly. While the card cheater was unconscious, he took off his cloak. Martha said that would take away the card cheater's magical powers.
-
Poison attack
Conductor
The assassin threw a cobra without attacking in a dignified manner! Hurry and catch it! Find the two-forked spear!
The cobra was nailed to the ground with a two-pronged spear. Now we're good to go. Watch out for the movements of the assassin card cheaters. He will try to escape into the fog again.
-
Long-distance fighting
Huntress
Watch out. Arrows are flying. Lift your shield. The assassins still don't seem to want to fight fair. You can try to spear them, but I don't think it will work. You should find a less honorable but very effective weapon. A sling.
I haven't practiced slinging, but my life is on the line, so I'm sure it will work. I don't need to get close to the fog, I can target assassins from a distance.
-
Drive away the fog.
Conductor
How does it feel when the trumpet breaks the silence? Don't let your defenses down! The assassin card cheaters haven't come out of the fog yet, but you can bet you heard that one. Look. The fog is advancing! It's trying to attack us! We have to drive the fog away with something. Find the fan. Then we can all drive the fog away.
Quickly fan it out with your fan! Yes, you can almost get rid of the fog.
-
days gone by
Alex
A strange scroll with my name on it fell on my guide's head. I was surprised. Apparently it was a poem I had written a long time ago, but it had to be in the real world. But it's supposed to be in the real world. How did I get here? The scroll is here somewhere. Just bring it to me.
Did you notice that the seal on the scroll is still intact? It means no one has opened it yet. It contains one of the poems I once wrote to a young woman. I'm sorry, I don't recall to whom it was addressed. But how in the world did this poem get to the City of Shadows?
-
A red gem
Valerie
Oriental traditions and riddles about finding lanterns are really interesting, aren't they? Now I know what kind of lantern to look for next. The last riddle is about a rooster. Look for the red cock, of course, which stands out and has an unusual shape. Bring it here.
Is this the "rooster" lantern? How beautiful and unique... here's another riddle for you. Let's read it. "Hang five lanterns and let them shine brightly and merrily. If magic is with you, the sixth will light up. Let's go see Martha.
-
challenge to a duel
Conductor
You look good riding your warhorse, don't you? Now, you must proceed to the edge of the fog and challenge the assassin, a card cheater, to a duel. First, you must find the herald's trumpet.
According to the rules, the start of a duel must be announced by the herald. But since there is no herald here, you must designate a witness to blow the bugle yourself. You never know what kind of moves your opponent will make. There is no honor here. Stay close to the witness.
-
Historical Events
Mayor
Hey there! How is the search going for items that symbolize important events in the city? The founding of the Five Wise Guardians is a very important event in the city's history. I still remember them wondering for a long time about the symbols of the Guardian Order. If we are lucky, we may find their first symbol!
You found the first emblem of the famous Five Wise Guardians. I knew you would be able to do it! Since you have found such a rare item, I am sure that the hidden street statues will reveal their secrets to Valerie, as the urban legend goes.
-
the color of sky
Valerie
So the riddle of the Chinese chow chun has to do with warm breezes and melting snow. Of course, you've figured it out by now, haven't you? Yes, the answer is spring. I mean, there are spring lanterns. Maybe green or blue. Can you find it?
Those found spring lanterns are light and graceful. It's kind of uplifting to look at! I wonder what kind of riddle it contains? I'll read it, shall I? "Beard on both sides, proud of the manner of your steps, first step to ascend, sing grandly."
-
be superstitious
Valerie
The second riddle on the Chinese lantern just got a little harder... what does a rabbit's foot on a horseshoe symbolize? Okay, good luck! I mean, there's a lucky lantern. I wonder what it looks like. But you are a seeker, you will find the lucky lantern soon enough.
What an unusual lucky lantern! I never would have found it without you! It's true! Now, why don't you read the following riddle? I know this one: "The gentle snow melts in the sun, a gentle breeze plays in the woods, the birdsong grows louder and louder, a sign of things to come!
-
Scent of the Past
Helen
If you are looking for an item that symbolizes an important event in the city, you need a piece of meteorite. When the meteorite fell from the sky, it had a profound effect on the lives of the people of the city. Just a small piece is enough to verify the authenticity of the legend Valerie is interested in.
Let's see... this is definitely a piece of a meteorite that fell on the city a long time ago. It was my father who first noticed the approaching meteorite. He calculated when and where it would hit and saved many lives.
-
The Reward for Creativity
Valerie
Chochin riddles are a traditional Chinese game. Rewards await those who correctly solve the riddles. The first lantern contains a clue to find the next one. I know the answer to the riddle about the moon in this field. Find the gourd lantern.
You found the gourd lantern. So my guess was correct. But what's the riddle behind the lantern? If there is no happiness in your life, an amulet will save you. Rabbit's foot, horseshoe, tiger, turtle, and cow.
-
the good times
Valerie
I think everyone who has tried to verify the authenticity of the legend of this statue in the past has come up with the wrong item. That's why the secret was never revealed. The next thing to look for is the statue of the phoenix, the symbol of the city's rebirth. Will you help me find it?
How was it? Amazing! You found the statue of the phoenix! This is a very important relic for the people of the city. People who have been in town for a long time told me about it. They say that the city suddenly reached a turning point and began to reflect itself. It was as if all the failures and difficulties it had faced up until that point were a lie, and it was completely reborn.
-
wonderful day
Detective
Okay, so the bottom line is this, right? We're looking for an item that symbolizes an important event in the city. That, and to find out if the unfamiliar legends are true... Then what about the ribbon that was cut at the commemoration ceremony that took place when the station opened? Do you know where we can find them?
So you found the ribbon that was cut at the station's memorial ceremony. That's great! I saw in an old newspaper that it was a very grand event. Since then, tourists have been visiting the city. Also, talented people stayed in the city and showed their creativity.
-
Festival Traditions
Valerie
Unfortunately, I don't know much about Chinese culture. There is only one traditional Chinese lantern that I could find. Let's start here. Bring me a red, round festival lantern.
What a beautiful festival lantern! What is this piece of paper on the bottom? What's going on? This is a riddle! What does it mean? "I see a reddish moon in a field of cucumbers. What does it mean?
-
City relics
Mayor
Valerie is not the first to become interested in the legends about the hidden street statues, but no one has yet succeeded in extracting the secret from the statues. According to the legend, the item you bring to the statue must symbolize the city. First, look for the brick that was used when the city was first built.
Take a closer look at the bricks...these are definitely the first bricks laid when construction of the city began. I recognize this particular design. It was a custom-made item created for a solemn ceremony by a certain sculptor who was well-known at the time.
-
Sound of Awakening
Isabelle
The boogeyman apparently hates the sound of an alarm clock. If the sound wakes up a sleeper, the boogeyman's nightmare is over. Will you help me find the loudest alarm clock in town? I'm going to use it as a weapon.
What a noisy alarm clock! It sounds like it's going to wake up the whole city, but this is exactly what I've been looking for! I'll set this one to go off once an hour. Even if the boogeyman puts me to sleep and thrusts me into a nightmare, I'm sure I'll wake up as soon as this clock rings.
-
Capture and subdue!
Isabelle
It will be dark soon and we must hurry. We must avoid the boogeyman disturbing the residents' sleep again! If I succeed in trapping the boogeyman, I will try to stop him. But to do that, I'll need a magic lasso. Will you help me find it?
Thank you for finding a real magic lasso! This lasso has the power to nullify the magical power of anyone caught in it. The important thing is to get this lasso on him before the boogeyman realizes that he has been trapped.
-
Martha's Advice
Isabelle
The Boogeyman radiates negative energy that can weaken an opponent in an instant. But Martha showed me how to protect myself from his dangerous effects. To do that, we need a glass with a vortex inside. Will you help me find it?
What you see in this glass is a whirlpool taken from the River of Oblivion. See how it's spinning around? This vortex is so powerful that as soon as the boogeyman gets close to it, it should suck all of his negative energy away.
-
Mystery Constellations
Inspector
Who in the world was informing on Angela? To get a clue, I went through almost every sketch that was included in her draft. But there is one thing I have yet to examine. It's the sketch with the telescope. Add that to the evidence folder, too.
There's an astronomer's daughter in a novel called "Mysterious Constellations," and the telescope she has looks exactly like the one the collector built for Helen Starr. Could Angela's informant be Helen?
-
dazzling light
Isabelle
The boogeyman wanders from room to room waiting for night to fall. Because he's blind during the day. So I'm thinking of using a special ball of sunlight to catch him and banish him from town. Come here so I can show you!
It's a ball of sunlight at dawn, woven round by magic. I invented it myself. When the boogeyman comes tonight, I will release the sunlight in this ball and blind him.
-
melody of an invitation
Isabelle
Getting rid of the boogeyman shouldn't be easy. But I have an idea. If you help me lure him away, I'll figure out a way to banish him forever. I think I'll start by trying to get his attention with a simple toy that plays a melody. Can you go find it for me?
Yes, a toy like this would be a great way to get the boogeyman's attention. I'm going to play it at night when the city is quiet. The boogeyman will hear the melody and come to see who is awake at this hour.
-
Surprise for customers
Valerie
I have a very good idea! Find a small, beautiful box and have customers put their wishes in it. At the end, they read it out. Don't you think it's neat?
Very nice! I love the little bells on it. It goes well with the other decorations!
-
Christmas tree decorations
Valerie
To enhance the Christmassy atmosphere, place some pine cone decorations. I saw them somewhere around here. Please, go find them!
Yes, that's it! I wanted pine cones like these. With snow on them, they look like the real thing!
-
What to put on the table
Valerie
I was just reading a fashion magazine and there was a piece of tableware in it decorated with Christmas symbols! Can you help me?
Well, ribbons on the forks and knives, snowflakes on the napkins. You're so good at decorating!
-
Table decoration
Valerie
I think it would be nice to decorate the table as well. We need Christmas candles.
Well, beautiful candles! It even has a tiny Christmas tree!
-
Door decoration
Valerie
The first decoration the customer sees is the Christmas wreath on the door. It's made of fir trees and decorated with Christmas tree ornaments. Can you find it?
I have never seen such a beautiful Christmas wreath!
-
Clove Flower
Martha
I won't ask you to do anything difficult. Go get me some cloves. They are very versatile in medicine and cooking. This is the last spice I need.
Let's say I divide the cloves you brought into several smaller pieces. One for medicines and elixirs. This one is for all the delicious dishes.
-
Green Clues
Inspector
Angela already knew the people of the city before she came to town. But how? It's most reasonable to assume that she had an informant. Maybe we can learn something from the tree bud sketches. That's what you're looking for.
In the novel titled "The Green Clue," there is a scene where a woman is looking for a tree bud. Could this woman possibly be Lady Rosemary? Maybe she is the one who told Angela about the city's inhabitants.
-
Flavorful anise
Martha
I still need some for my spice collection. Anise might come in handy. Go find some.
Where do you think they use anise? I'll let you in on a little secret. I put it in my cherry jam. It makes them more watery and fragrant, and it keeps their color.
-
Nutmeg scent
Martha
I see my spice collection is missing nutmeg. Of course, but bring it as nuts, not ground.
Wonderful. I sprinkle nutmeg on all my candy. It gives it an unforgettable taste.
-
cinnamon stick
Martha
I need some cinnamon in my spice reserves. Can you find it for me? But don't grind it into powder.
As for the cinnamon, I guess no amount of cinnamon is enough...this amount would be gone if I used it for the ointment and elixir. I need to add other spices to the coffee.
-
Vanilla scent
Martha
I'm glad you're going to help me find the spices. Go find some vanilla first. But only the real thing, not the stuff with scientific seasonings.
Well done. You picked the best type of vanilla. I would use this to prepare a pungent aromatic drink based on an old Aztec recipe. I would put cacao beans, chili peppers, honey and vanilla flowers in it.
-
Natural Delicacies
Adeline Svensson
I was looking for the detective who won the chili contest to interview you, but I hear he suffers from a strong aftertaste. Why don't you give him some plum juice? I can tell you where to find it.
The Chinese love plum juice! You know that slight apricot and melon-like aroma? This is a characteristic of Chinese plums.
-
Healing Tea
Monk
The best medicine for pain is to strengthen the spirit. Detective-dono ate too much chili without thinking about the consequences. Brew him a cup of wolfberry tea. It will suppress his symptoms and help him to recover.
I see you found wolfberry tea. I would add some daisy petals or cloves to it. Give this tea to the detective and he should be feeling better in no time.
-
Spirit of Adventure
Conductor
Only the brave can challenge the super hot chili contest. It's quite a feat for a detective to win that grueling battle! There's a perfect drink to eliminate that strong aftertaste. Take him a glass of Koko Natsu Milk!
Fresh coconut milk is hard to find in this city. I'm impressed that you were able to find it! If you give this to the detective, I'm sure his tingling mouth will calm down a lot.
-
chilly effect
Mayor
The detective should not have eaten so many chili. A Chinese drink called sour plum water, made from smoked green plums, is said to help reduce the spiciness.
So you brought sour plum soup. Chinese people drink this cold to survive the hot summer. I am sure the detective will enjoy this cold drink as well.
-
Suffering winners
Valerie
The detective won by eating more of the very spicy chili than anyone else. He must be feeling pretty spicy right now. I'm hoping a Chinese drink will mask the intense aftertaste... can you find me some soy milk first? Might help with the tingling a bit.
I see you found soy milk! I'm personally not a fan of it, but I hear it's good for a lot of things, not just easing the tingling in your mouth.
-
Legend of the Port
Juliette
Dear friend, the storm that is hitting Mr. Gallahard's ship is no ordinary one. It is magic! But our first priority now is to protect the ship. In France, there is a legend about Marel's anchor. Wouldn't that anchor be useful? Can you help me find it?
I hope that legend is true. That Marelle's anchor will tie Colonel Gallahard's ship to the pier! Ah, but the waves are about to take the ship away again.
-
Artistic Crime
Inspector
The protagonist of Angela's novel "The Art of Crime" is a journalist much like Adeline Svensson. She may have been the one who gave Angela the information about the people in the city. Can you help me find some journalism-related sketches?
It is indeed Adeline's camera depicted in this sketch. There is no doubt about it because of that engraved decoration. It must have been Adeline herself who told Angela about this camera.
-
A Tradition You Can Trust
Inspector
You'll have to work a miracle to save the Colonel's ship in the harbor from the storm. Or use the most reliable anchor on earth! What could be more reliable than the one traditionally used? The best anchor for that would be a warship anchor! Find it.
Anchors for warships, please make it work! Oh, no. Even this won't hold Gallahard's ship in port. Do you have any other ideas?
-
Sisters from Guangzhou
Inspector
To understand how Angela learned about the people in the city, we need to suspect the people who are the archetypes of the characters in the novel as informants. Surely there are clues hidden in the sketches Angela left behind. Would you mind taking the sketch with the lucky charm on it?
This is a celestial amulet that's said to bring good luck. It's from a novel called "Sisters from Guangzhou City," in which I helped twin sisters trying to figure out a family secret. This clue points to, yes...Mei and Yuy.
-
The Mystery Hidden Beneath the Mask
Inspector
This is my hunch, but I wonder if Angela had an informant in this city? I wonder how she was communicating the information, but I'll ask her about that when I find the party. Maybe Angela's drafts will tell us who the informant was. She used to draw sketches while she was working on her book. Let's look for that.
The sketch was drawn for a short story called "The Mystery Hidden Beneath the Mask. In this story, the mistress of a mansion makes her servants wear masks...I see, this is Juliet's mask! Maybe the informant is Juliet.
-
Masks for intermediate colors
Juliette
Keep reading Mania's letter. 'You're getting close to solving the problem. White is a neutral color. The decision is yours." What decision? I don't have a choice. Can I have the white mask, please?
White masks remind me of death - what do you think? Why do I have to wear it? I don't want to.
-
Festival Mask
Juliette
Here's the rest of Mania's letter! 'You say it's hard to pick a color? The mask reflects your mood. Why don't you actually try it on and answer the question for yourself?" Hurry up and find a black mask, I'll give it a try.
Black velvet masks are a carnival symbol, aren't they? I knew what to expect right away. How do you like it? You don't have to answer, I'll figure it out. It doesn't go with the blue dress.
-
Liar's Mask
Juliette
Look at that! Mania is surely trying to mess with me! It reads: "What do you mean the yellow mask doesn't fit? There are other colors. How about bright green? Put it on, my beauty, and think about your facial health. Look at the colors in the picture." What picture is that? Oh, there's a comic in the package... wow! It's about a green mask - the mask of Loki, God of Deceivers. Can you please find it?
Put on this green mask and find out who's up to mischief as soon as possible. Sounds interesting! Why hasn't anything happened yet? This mask doesn't seem to fit me.
-
Mystical Mask
Juliette
What is this all about? Is some maniac out there playing a joke on me? I am afraid to live. Please find the yellow mask immediately.
This yellow mask immediately reminded me of a Wilkie Collins novel. His mystical tales are much scarier! Oh no, I won't be wearing this mask either.
-
Blood color mask
Juliette
Okay, I'll read it out: "I offer you a job, or your beauty and health will be in jeopardy. Don't look in the mirror, put on a dark red mask, and tell me if it fits." You mean, find a red mask, put it on, and don't look in the mirror? Of course I don't look in the mirror, but what if it was written by some weird maniac? I'd just be scared. Would you please look for the mask with me?
This red mask reminds me of an Edgar Allan Poe story. I don't want to wear this. Would you be willing to try it on for me? No? But I really don't like it even before I put it on, which means it's not for me.

Depending on the angle
Cardsharp
Sir! I'm having trouble with Isabel's new riddle. Three has 180 friends and six has 720. So who has 900 friends?" What? Oh, look. All the shapes have angles! It's the sum of the angles, and the only one that comes to 900 degrees is the heptagon. Bring it to me quickly.
Yes, the heptagon is the answer! Thanks for your help. You've got the right answer.

sixth dimension
Cardsharp
Isabelle has a riddle for me. I need a shape that corresponds to the cosmic dial of sacred geometry in India. Hmmm, let's count. Left to right, forward, backward, up, down... six directions... now that's a hexagon! Find it. That's the answer to Isabel's riddle, I'm sure of it.
You made a hexagon! Well...you did a great job! You knew right away that the answer to Isabel's riddle was a hexagon. Do you have any other riddles worthy of my knowledge?

5 steps to perfection
Isabelle
Everything about amulets and magic is my specialty. Of course I know about health amulets. This shape is a pentagon. Make it out of matches and take it to the card swindler.
The pentagonal amulet symbolizes eternity and perfection in addition to health. This magical tool is used for certain rituals and incantations. Even if made out of matches, the pentagon is a powerful amulet.

Four Pillars
Isabelle
I'll answer that card cheater's riddle in a minute. It's a quadrangle. The Greeks called them tetragons. You can make a box shape out of four matchsticks. Make one for the card cheater.
We have a rectangle! This amulet symbolizes eternity and stability. Don't be surprised that I found the answer so quickly. I specialize in the study of amulets.

The Trinity of Freemasonry
Isabelle
Have you been offered a riddle by a card scammer? Need a shape of light and dark time involving Freemasonry? Hmmm, Freemasonry's preferred shape is a triangle. Can you find it for me or make one out of matchsticks. Hopefully that's the answer.
I hadn't thought of that. How could such a simple triangle, like one made from a match, have anything to do with Freemasonry's cosmos of light, dark, and time? We, wizards, see geometric shapes in a unique light.

Every discovery seems to indicate that we are on the right track. The turquoise hairpins of my mother's wench are full of magic. And finally, the swift-footed messenger, the grasshopper. Find her hairpin.
The turquoise grasshopper on the Empress's wench's hairpin is made of silver and blue feathers. What did the mother want to convey through her faithful wench?

agile bird
Yui
I never met my mother. During the war with my father, the emperor, I was told she had a secret advisor, a bird. She knows a lot of secrets. Go find this wench's hairpin.
The mother's advisor's little hairpin turquoise bird looks like it's alive. What is this? A hallucination? No, I shook my wings, it's true, I'm not hallucinating!
-
Cicada Song
Mei
The attendants of the Mother Goddess may know something about her dealings with the Tiger God. An advisor called Cicada used to play the zither. That's how she got her nickname. Find her hairpin!
Turquoise cicada hairpin decorated with kingfisher feathers. The earthly incarnation of the blue phoenix. Do you hear that stringed instrument? Where do they come from?
-
Butterfly Wings
Monk
Princess Mei, the Dragon Priestess has shown us her wisdom again. She saw her mother's secret message in the silk embroidery! We were told that an advisor called Butterfly was in charge of the Empress' dress. You must find her hairpin.
The advisor to the empress who made such a gorgeous outfit was wearing a hairpin with a turquoise butterfly on it. Look, there is black and white embroidery on the end of the hairpin. Is this a sign?
-
The Emperor's Flowers
Mei
The five advisors of the concubine's mother were associated with the covenant with the White Tiger God. They were dressed in the colors of the empress and wore precious turquoise hairpins for their roles. My mother's gardener wore turquoise flowers. Go find them.
My mother's gardener used to wear these turquoise flowers in her hair when she brought fresh flowers to her room each morning. But what does it mean and where did it come from?

Special polishing
Martha
You have the amethyst and emerald for the lens. But you need to polish those thoroughly. Find a special material, corundum.
You found the corundum. Now you have everything you need to make your psychic goggles. Now you can do without me.
-
hot flame
Martha
It takes a very hot flame to melt meteorite metal. The kind of flame that anthracite produces when it burns. Shouldn't be hard to find. There are quite a few in town.
I told you it wasn't hard to find anthracite coal. Yeah, that's all you need.
-
metal of the sky
Martha
The edges of the goggles are not easy to make. They have to be made from materials that come from the sky itself. Metals from meteorites, for example.
Looks like you've already found the meteorite metal. How can one find such a rare item so quickly?
-
Vanilla and Aromatic
Angelique
Dragonflower is a must for spring perfumes. There is nothing better for bringing together multiple fragrances. All famous perfume artisans use it...but only those artisans with the financial resources to obtain such an expensive material. Could you please go and look for it?
According to Fabien, the fragrance of longan is warm and delicate. I have never been able to understand what he meant by "warm" fragrance, but I am sure that Fabien, who is well acquainted with high society, would approve of this fragrance. Now, let's finish the spring perfume and see if I was right.

Left lens
Martha
The left lens has to be made from amethyst. Only this stone gives the person who equips it the power to see the spirit world.
Very beautiful amethyst. It seems a shame to have to destroy such a pure stone. But I have to.
-
Right lens
Martha
With special psychic goggles, the guides can see the ghosts too. But first you have to make them, and I don't have time for that. I'll tell you what you need, but you'll have to make it yourself. First, you need to find an emerald. You'll use it to make the right lens.
Have you found the emerald yet? That's fantastic. I can make the best lenses for my psychic goggles.

Disturbing warning signs
Conductor
I heard that there is a ghost guide on this train. As someone in the same profession, I would like to ask him. I would like to ask him what happens to the passengers who get on this train and are taken into the fog. But where can I find him? There should be a signaling baton in the guide's compartment. Look for it.
It was worth asking to find the signaling baton so quickly. This compartment seems to be the ghost guide's for sure! Hey, the baton has started glowing on its own. This is a sign that the train will be leaving soon. Isn't the ghost guide giving us a warning?
-
The Eternal Journey
Conductor
I'm not getting off this train until I figure out the secret. Hey, there's the ghost of a little girl. It looks like she drew an arrow with sugar. Let's go in the direction it points! Oh, my God! The sugar arrows have been blown away by a gust of wind! Let's see if there are any other messages written in sugar.
You found another message written in sugar. The spirit of that girl was standing next to the compartment... but hey, isn't that her brooch? I see, you used sugar to draw the infinite symbol of the rail! I think what the girl was trying to say is that the passengers of this train are destined to travel forever, aren't they?

Scenes from a Journey
Conductor
It looks like there is still some time before the train will depart again. Let's hurry up and investigate and solve the mystery of the Fog Express. Hey, do you smell that coffee? Are you saying there is someone else alive? Let's follow this scent. There's got to be hot coffee somewhere!
This coffee is still hot. It doesn't look like it's been that long since it was brewed, but there's no one here but us. Probably the ghosts of the passengers are still on board, unaware that they're dead. We're drinking coffee, reading newspapers, listening to music...

sink quickly
Huntress
When I was little, sailors told me stories about their youth. They said that the anchor that sank the fastest and was the most stable was Matrosov's anchor. That's what we're looking for. If you want to protect your ship, Colonel.
You found Matrosov's anchor. But even this one couldn't hold the boat together. Even though it sank immediately and got caught on the seabed. You need something else.
-
Unbreakable sturdiness
Detective
A normal anchor would not be enough to hold Gallahard's ship together! If the holed anchor didn't work, there must be a lot of strain on the bottom of the ship. We need to find Roger's anchor. They are made for hard soil.
I thought Roger's anchor could handle it. Buddy, this storm is way too strong. Apparently, it won't even give us time to get the anchor in the bottom of the ocean...

Commemorative gift for the founding of the company
Lewis Capuchin
You have helped me to remember many important things! But many memories about this movie theater are still deprived by the fog... In the list of collectibles, there should have been a commemorative clapper with a strange note attached "commemorating the founding of the theater". Could you please bring that to me?
This is that kachinko...I remember! I had met the manager of the Illusion Movie Theater while we were filming a movie. He was very kind and when we told him we were planning to open our own movie theater, he presented us with a commemorative kachinko.

Bound together
Augustine Capuchin
After we had co-produced four films, Luis proposed to me. It's funny to remember now. That was on the last day of shooting. We had to reshoot one of the scenes that had already been shot... That said, the fog made me lose my memory of the wedding day. If you can find my veil, you might remember.
Thank you for finding the veil. It brought back a few memories of our wedding. Please look closely at this veil. It is decorated with pieces of film. It is a sign of respect for the film that brought us together. The funny thing is that as filmmakers, our wedding was not filmed at all.

The Sorrow of the Outcast
Kira Woodville
Let me start at the beginning to explain why I did this. A few years ago there was a fog approaching some areas of the city. Various solutions were proposed, but Director Black...if you could find a window that was boarded up, that would explain what happened.
Do you see the markings of the Security Bureau on the board? The director told people to evacuate immediately and we sealed off all the buildings. Eventually the fog never reached the area, but people were nevertheless not allowed to return to their homes. Director Black at the time did not listen to anyone.

Significant Evidence
Vera
If the misty silhouette is really a scarecrow infused with energy, then there must be an energy source somewhere. Look for the ritual circle. It must have energy left behind by its creator. And that creator is the one who left the "follow me" message.
You found the ritual circle! With this, we should be able to figure out who left the "track me" message and the clue. I'll get my tools... which ones... huh? You're kidding! This ritual circle was created by a disciple of The Shadow!
-
Appearance of the Obake
Vera
Stop! I see a silhouette of fog at the end of the road! That must be either a foggy apparition or the person who left that message. If it's the former, I know how to deal with it, but if it's the latter... let's approach the foggy silhouette and talk to it.
Well, I guess I was wrong. It doesn't seem to be a phantom or a creature. It's more like it's infused with energy or one of the natural elements. I have a bad feeling about this. Let's hurry up and find the sender of the message and return to the gatherer's lair.
-
A Little Guide
Vera
Clues left by the sender of the "track me" message are slowly leading us further and further away from the forager's lair. I have a bad feeling about this. Should we go back? What is this? Just as we were about to turn off the trail, a caterpillar stuck to my leg and blocked my way. Let's check out this caterpillar.
Aren't you afraid of caterpillars? Ouch... it bit me! That's funny. This kind of caterpillar is not supposed to be aggressive... but the sender of the message seems to want us to follow the clues at all costs.
