crown ornament
Yui
Speaking of the traditional attire that a princess of the Chinese Empire would wear, we cannot forget the headdress. It is not a comfortable garment, but it would not be appropriate for a private audience without it. Our father is the emperor. Find me the "women's headdress."
It looks uncomfortable to wear this. But I can't see why not. I'm sure Sister Mei is familiar with the traditional Chinese royal atmosphere and would easily pull it off.
-
Courtly attire
Mei
It's got a big collar ornament. It's a beautiful thing, but it's not used all over the empire. It was only popular in my father's time. It was made shortly before the war with Suzaku. Father would be pleased if you put it on. Can you find it for me?
This "large collared ornament" will add dignity to our traditional attire. Our father, we are almost ready to present you to the emperor. We just need a few more things.
-
Old norms
Monk
Unfortunately, the traditional princess attire is not very comfortable to wear. However, in order to keep up with the customs, both Her Imperial Highness Princess Yu and Her Imperial Highness Princess Mei will have to exercise some patience. They would have to find "very small footwear. They would be too tight for such a size.
These extremely small footwear are for women. They were popular in old China. By wearing these "tiny footwear" to visit the emperor, the princesses are paying homage to tradition.
-
Underground Reflections
Detective
Julie, she won't even look in the mirror. She's totally freaked out by that damned spirit. Buddy, Isabelle told me to find you a lamp that emits an otherworldly aquamarine light. She says it's the only thing that can defeat the accursed "fear of the dark!
It's a ghost lamp! I've heard of it. This lamp was used against ghosts. Now they make more effective traps. This is a very rare item!
-
Fans with pictures
Juliette
Princess Mei and Princess Yuy are happily preparing for their private audience. The emperor is your father, isn't he? Does their culture have etiquette rules for family gatherings? Let's find them some painted Chinese fans for them, shall we?
Princess Mei once showed me a fan with such a picture on it. It's very different from the fans used by European aristocratic women! Do you think they are appropriate for a private audience with the emperor?
-
fairy-tale flower
Valerie
Poor Juliette! She's terrified of the spirit in the dungeon. Isabelle says she needs a magic lantern to fight them. I just saw a nice lantern in the shape of a firefly. That's what we need!
Look, it says "fairy lamp." Is it supposed to protect us from fairies? I've heard fairies steal things from people. I think it's cute!
-
Noble embroidery
Yui
I know the etiquette of the royal court. But this is my first time actually doing it. I would feel more at home in the kimono of a "Suzaku" priestess, or in my battle dress. But that would not be appropriate for an audience with my father, the emperor. I need you to find me a ceremonial "embroidered vest" made of Chinese silk.
This "embroidered vest" is the traditional attire of a Chinese princess. It would be appropriate for an audience with the Emperor.
-
Cautious Assistant
Huntress
You know, I'm also curious about Juliette's frightened soul. I think I know what will make it go away. Find the bronze guardian lamp. That will keep the enemy from sneaking up on us.
This lantern flickers to tell you when the owner is in danger. I'm always on the lookout even if I don't have one of those!
-
close the door
Monk
If the doors are not guarded, no amount of chimera statues in the "Emperor's Palace" will help, right? Princess Mei will help them find a guardian to bolt the door.
This bronze snail dragon is the guardian that bolts the door. With it, the treasures of the great emperors of the Chinese Empire would be protected. This guardian is to be attached to the bolt on the main gate of the palace.
-
light of protection
Isabelle
I need to find some lanterns to defeat the spirit that frightens Juliette. They're the city's magically created alternatives for the Newcomers. First you need to find a golden portable lamp. Evil fears its light. You will recognize it because of its expensive appearance and the lemon yellow light it emits.
The werewolves and mummies will flee if you illuminate them with the light emitted from this lamp. It's a must for walking in the city at night!
-
Guarding the Bell Tower
Huntress
My friends, I cannot believe that those gargoyle-like statues can protect the "Palace of the Emperors"! But Princess Mei and Princess Yuy say it's possible with the Oriental stone cedars. Then we should wait and see. Find the "bell bearer" or something.
The guardian holding up this bell doesn't look like a very dangerous fellow. He has a firm grip on the golden bell in the Palace of the Emperors. This way, thieves can't get to it.
-
Palace Fountain
Mei
That cunning thief seems to have stolen the golden jug that the statue of the fountain was holding. I was always sitting there thinking! I wish I could punish him. Find me the guardian of the fountain, the stone dragon-crocodile.
I swear by the Blue Dragon. This "Guardian of the Fountain" will protect the "Palace of the Emperors" from thieves, along with the other stone statue givers!
-
banana cream
Juliette
Experiments like this are my specialty. I wonder if it wasn't actually a maniac who came up with this riddle? What is the material of the next mask? What color? White? You don't even have to think about it. Sour cream and bananas, please.
You already know how to make a mask, don't you? The white mask is the same. Mash some bananas and sour cream and gently spread it on your face. How do I look? Exactly what I was advised. Even if you want to look in the mirror, don't.
-
Sit high and gaze into the distance
Isabelle
What a daring thief to steal something so expensive from the "Palace of the Emperors." What on earth were your guards doing there? Princess Mei told me. She said that the oriental stone dragon fish can spot a bad guy from a distance. Find me the Guardian of the Roof.
This stone dragon fish is the "guardian of the roof." It kind of reminds me of a gargoyle! No one would ever think that something like this would protect a building.
-
Roses and Charcoal
Juliette
Mania game, I'm starting to like it. Let's move on to the black mask. I'll give you the recipe. I need some activated charcoal tablets, a few rose petals, and a little natural water.
First, make a black mixture for the mask. Grind the tablets and petals into a powder, then add a few drops of water. Now you have a black mask. Put it on your face.
-
reliable support
Yui
My sister, Princess Mei, told me all about it. That was a pretty ballsy robbery. Not only did they steal our father's and the emperor's treasures, but also furniture, golden lamps, and expensive ornaments! The palace is in shambles. The stone statue of the dragon turtle, the bearer of the stone monument, would have prevented all this. Look for that one.
This dragon tortoise is called the turtle lotus, and it is the base of a stone monument. It will cast a protective spell over the palace garden. With it, the emperor's possessions would be protected from thieves and the building would be strengthened.
-
Set and Decorate
Valerie
You know what women need for the final touch to their hairdo? Hairpins. They can be used for embellishment and to hold your hairstyle in place so it doesn't fall down too quickly. Find a hairpin, a pretty one.
I'm impressed that you've done such a great job with this exploration. I wanted a hairpin like this for my first experiment in hair dressing! Hopefully I can get the hairstyles to set well.
-
Restoration with cucumbers
Juliette
Next up is the green mask. It's breakfast! Fresh cucumbers! Why are you so wide-eyed and surprised? Haven't you heard? You're not so lucky. I found the cucumbers.
I slice up a cucumber and leave it there. Where is it? My face, of course! I'm not making a salad, I'm making a cucumber mask!
-
Son of the Dragon
Mei
Shouzu is the son of the dragon, the faithful guardian of his master's secrets. Shouzu is attached to the door of the Chinese palace. You must find the Shouzu. Isabelle will use it to open the door to the Collector.
-
Sweet and sour mask
Juliette
What color is the next mask? Yellow? That's easy - it's a honey and lemon mask. Mix linden honey and lemon juice and put as much on your face as you like.
Why don't we take a break? I'm relaxing with my yellow mask, keeping my skin taut.
-
Berry Mask
Juliette
Remember that weird letter from Mania about collecting the wrong masks? The masks he meant were the various masks we wear.... They are beauty masks. What color was the first mask? Red? Bring me the garden and wild strawberry masks and I'm sure you'll understand right away.
Would you please squeeze some wild strawberries and put them on my face? Here's your red mask. How do I look?
-
hair dryer
Valerie
I've got most of the hairdresser's tools. Yes, I definitely still need a hair dryer. I need to dry my hair after styling. Bring the hair dryer.
This hair dryer is not some neolithic antique. Honestly, couldn't you have found something more recent? Sorry, I got overexcited now that you're back. Okay, this hair dryer is good enough for a hairdresser my size.
-
Elegant work
Juliette
I could make a perfume concoction with a delicate, fresh scent. Now we just need a container. It would be outrageous to move the perfume around in a bowl! I wonder if you could find something suitable for the perfume.
This perfume container is a work of art. I'm glad I asked you to do it.
-
Gorgeous curly hair
Valerie
Your turn to find the curlers. Do you know what a curler is? It's a tube that you wrap around your hair. Bring your curlers and I'll show you how to use them.
You didn't know what a curler was, but you make sure I have what I need. These curlers are going to curl my hair. It's going to be a beautiful, curly-haired beast...if all goes well.
-
hit a nail on the head
Valerie
The next thing a hairdresser needs is a comb. You'll find it in no time. Can you find me a comb?
Glad you found a simple comb. I don't have any brushing skills yet, nor have I used any special brushes.
-
comb
Valerie
I've studied the basic theory of hairdressing. The details are important in this job. I'm going to gather up some of the necessary tools and begin my first experiment. First, I need a pair of scissors. Can you find some for me, please?
Thanks for finding me a pair of suki-sha scissors. Now, let me see if these scissors are the right size for my hand. I haven't told you how happy I am. I'm sorry.
-
Fragrance center
Juliette
Can you smell the aromas wafting from this improvised laboratory? Do you like it? Me too. I need a few more ingredients to finish this perfume. Rose oil. Just a few drops will do.
According to the recipe for the perfume paste, it is necessary to add three to five drops of rose oil, the most important. Each drop must be stirred. It is important to do this like an expert. I leave everything to your sense of smell.
-
Faint freshness
Juliette
The third ingredient is jasmine oil. Please bring it with you. Just a little is fine.
Add jasmine oil to a mixture of beeswax and coconut oil that has been heated. It gives the perfume a fresh spring scent.
-
tropical oil
Juliette
The second ingredient for perfume paste is coconut oil. Hey, you'll have no problem finding it.
I put coconut oil in beeswax and add a little heat. I didn't know it was so difficult to make perfume paste.
-
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.
