Excellent assistant
Anna Weber
I love this job and I want to complete this breastplate in time, but I can't work on it without a threader. It also has to be my own special one. It must be around here somewhere. Can you please find it?
You have found my own threader! You are a kind soul. Thanks to you, I will soon be able to start work on completing the breastplate.
-
first impression
Martha
The best way to learn about the master of the house is to examine his clothing. At the very least, you should be able to tell their gender. A cane will tell you the age of the person. A uniform will tell you the job title... Let's start with the headgear. Find the householder's hat!
I've seen these hats before. They were all the rage among women when I was finishing school. So the owner of this house is an elegant lady. Look, this hat is decorated with Easter flowers! The hostess definitely has something to do with the holiday.
-
Handmade Clues
Detective
By examining the belongings, we can learn a lot about their owners. I'll examine the objects here to determine what kind of person the mysterious owner of this mansion is. For example, there are a number of items embroidered with combination letters. They may be just embroidery, but they may also symbolize status. Look for the combination letter embroidery in the hall.
There's a combination letter embroidered on the napkin! You see these initials on a lot of things. That means they were made to order. Only rich people can do that.
-
lightning rod
Conductor
According to the drawings, the lightning rod is a fairly simple design. It can be quickly assembled, but it will require a sturdy steel rod. We can get one from the mansion's fence, but it would be better to do it at night so that the mistress and Juliet won't notice.
You mean you didn't even have to saw through the steel bars, just shake them enough to get them out? Even the most expensive house in town is in as much disrepair as the rest... I've got a lightning rod ready, but it's pretty unwieldy. But it will work. Just make sure you experiment away from the station.
-
Finding Tools
Valerie
I quickly realized that I needed to show the book to you and Isabelle. It contained detailed instructions on the effects, invocation, and dissipation of a paranormal phenomenon called the electrum. But it sounds like you need a lot of equipment, but I don't know where to get it. I'll copy the names and visit the guide. I think he is the only one who understands what is what. We need a Tesla generator and a lightning rod.
A generator? There should be one. But I haven't used it in ages. Do me one favor and I'll look for it. It's a deal.
-
Nikola Tesla
Valerie
Hi, how are you doing? Are you still studying the paranormal? Then I have great news for you. Just promise me that the next time you and Isabelle do an experiment, you will take me with you. Absolutely! Follow me to the city hall. I have a book to show you...
See? A bookshelf dedicated to Nikola Tesla. I wasn't interested before, but now that there is such a thing in the city library, I'm interested. It was not in vain! I found a book that had only been published in five copies! As expected, this book was the most interesting.
-
The last riddle
Isabelle
One more riddle to solve and Mistress Peacock will be free from the magic of "bird catching." He who has a head but no heart. He who walks but cannot speak. When I heard the first part, I thought of the mistress. But she can speak. Martha says the clue is in the Indian piggy bank. Look for it in the "greenhouse."
The shape of the "Indian piggy bank" reminds me of something... ah, a piggy bank! The answer is coins. It has a head (front) and it goes from hand to hand. Now release Miss Peacock at once, you evil mage.
-
Kisses from guests
Lady
I wonder which riddle Miss Peacock got stuck on? I can't make the same mistake! The fourth riddle. "He to whom all guests kiss." I often have guests. But they only kiss my hand. Martha said she saw the answer in a copper tea tin. Find it!
The Copper Tea Tin, Who's the one kissing the customer? My goodness, it was a teacup in the box! Very clever riddle. Come on, we're almost there!
-
Flower of medicinal plants
Valerie
Judging from the illustrations in medieval documents, St. John's wort is also necessary for the ritual. This is not so simple a flower. The author writes that this flower has remarkable characteristics. St. John's wort probably grows all over town. Bring it to me.
Did you know that St. John's wort is a medicinal herb? It is a remedy for injuries, poisonings, and all manner of ailments. St. John's wort also purges the dark magic of the night and promotes sleep.
-
Flowers of the South
Valerie
Little fairies, as you know, really like flowers. So we need to gather fragrant flowers for the summoning ritual. First we need lavender. Go find it.
The lavender you brought me is mentioned in The Alchemist's Experiment. There they call this flower a fairy leaf and warn us to be very careful when using it.
-
The Monster of a Thousand Eyes
Huntress
If you can't solve the riddle, Miss Peacock will remain a bird forever. But watch out. The next riddle concerns a monster! "Only one, but with a thousand eyes." I hear a foolish spirit is whispering to Martha to find the "kitchen box"...find it anyway. I'll deal with the monster!
Show yourself, monster of the "kitchen box"! What? The riddle of "The One, but with a Thousand Eyes" is just a tea strainer? I was mistaken, my friend. But now the third riddle is solved.
-
Worthy Gifts
Martha
I'm going to call upon the spirits of good fortune during the ritual. They're in charge of deciding where and to whom to bestow good luck. We will give them a gift to acknowledge our efforts to help the croquis. The golden fleece would be an appropriate gift for them. I'll prepare the altar for the ceremony, can you go find it for me while I'm there?
You brought the golden fleece. Thank God! I've got the altar ready to lay out the offerings to the spirits, so all I need to do now is burn some incense. I hope Crocky doesn't get scared when he sees the spirits... unlike humans, cats can see them.
-
Upside Down Ship
Conductor
By any chance, do the other riddles of "bird catching" have anything to do with gophones and alcohol? Well, listen. The "little boat. Turn it over and it is filled, turn it up and it is empty." I've never seen a "boat." But Martha says the genie whispered something about a house-shaped box. Would you look for it?
Hmmm, let's see what kind of ship is hidden in this box...a hat? Bird catcher, that's a very clever riddle indeed! I guess if you solve all the riddles, Miss Peacock will really be free.
-
season that comes and goes
Doorkeeper
I have to save Miss Peacock from the evil magic of the "bird catcher". I hope the spirit of Martha will help me solve the riddles. The first riddle is this. "He who is born in summer, dies in autumn, and plays in winter. I am the Gatekeeper of Spring. But I know something about the other seasons. The spirits are hinting that there's a clue in the wisteria crane basket. Find it in the greenhouse!
I don't think the basket itself is the answer... there's a bottle of wine inside! Well, of course it is! Grapes ripen in the summer, they're picked in the fall, and they ripen as wine in the winter!
-
Legend of the Feather
Adeline Svensson
You are being too superficial! When did I say that "bird catchers" turned Miss Peacock into a mere little bird? Look what I found. The Aztecs considered "Quetzal" to be a sky god. But this bird would die if it was captured. Find me this precious bird!
The quetzal is a legendary bird. It is on the endangered species list. It would be perfect for Miss Peacock, that's for sure!
-
Noble rusticity
Monk
That girl, Juliet, is right. The nobility of Miss Peacock's heart will tell you which bird she was turned into. The most sublime quality she possesses is a noble simplicity. That princess does not often show that side of herself, though. According to this encyclopedia, such a quality is found in the "white-bellied starling." Could you look for it in the "greenhouse?"
The "white-bellied starling" is a modest and beautiful bird. Look at these shining feathers. Let's keep it here with the other candidates. This bird may well be the Peacock.
-
Fortunate Moments
Monk
Remember the saying, "It is good fortune to know how to take advantage of the opportunities you are given..." The ancient Greeks believed in Kairos, the god of "opportunity". If you find Kairos', I'll show you how to use it to bring good luck to your crooks.
Let me see what you brought. This Kairos one looks a lot like the one in the old book. It is said that carrying this will help you get lucky at the right time. From the looks of it, Crocky is an agile cat. Such skills will surely help him.
-
Energy to ward off evil
Valerie
Poor Crocky needs our help more than anything. We should definitely have a Hamsa amulet for the Martha ritual. Not only will it protect us from bad magic, but it has the power to bring us good luck. Let's look for it!
I did it! This is a genuine Hamsa amulet. Looks like the Goddess of Fortune has smiled on us! See the elephant in the middle? The elephant is a symbol of wisdom and prosperity. The power of the amulet should ward off misfortune.
-
koto of sorrow
Juliette
You are trying to find out which bird Miss Peacock was turned into, aren't you? My dear friend, why do you only want to look at the form? That princess has a beautiful heart! For example, her single-minded love for the one she loves. Is there any bird that could have a heart like that? I think it's the cuckoo. Can you help me find it?
That's a lovely coco bird. She looks so sad. It's as if she is longing for her beloved. But you can't call her Miss Peacock now, can you?
-
younger brother
Valerie
I don't think Miss Peacock could have been turned into a peacock. But they could have turned her into a similar bird, couldn't they? Let me see that encyclopedia for a minute! Here's a bird called a "nystercatcher"...heh, that's a hard name to pronounce in English. This bird looks just like its brother, the peacock! This uh, this Himalayan... let's call it a rainbow pheasant. Can you look for this bird in the "greenhouse"?
Piyo-piyo... "Nijikiji" is as beautiful as a peacock. I don't know if this is Miss Peacock or not. Let's keep it as a candidate for now, okay?
-
bird's crest
Detective
You only have one chance to guess which bird Miss Peacock has been turned into. First, we must choose a suitable candidate. Even if she was turned into a bird, there must be some trace of the princess left behind. The crown, for example! I've been searching all over Adeline's dictionary. The bird with the most magnificent crown is the tundra tundra. Did you see it in the greenhouse?
The golden spikes on this Rancho's head look just like a crown. But I doubt if this lovely fellow is Miss Peacock's princess. Anyway, let's keep him here for a while. Let's continue.
-
weak defense
Adeline Svensson
It seems to me that Miss Peacock could have escaped from the "greenhouse" and out of harm's way if she had taken off those shoes. But what was the "bird catcher" going to do to her? She could have tried to defend herself with whatever was there, right? Let's look for a fan. She always had it with her. Look for that fan in the "greenhouse.
Miss Peacock's fan is very fragile. If she had used it to protect herself, the feathers would have come apart. But it hasn't broken at all. Here is her note. I feel strangely light. The sky is calling me.
-
Shoes that are not practical.
Conductor
I'll make you tell me what the "bird catcher" did to Miss Peacock! I can't believe it. I can't believe that the princess took off her, well, her clothes. If he had laid a finger on her I think I would have seen her uncomfortable shoes in the greenhouse. You know, the ones called "paducas". She wouldn't have been left barefoot, would she? I need to find those shoes!
When it comes to women, how can they stand in shoes like padukas? Oh, here's Miss Peacock's scribble again. 'Feet tied to a belt. Not a belt, yes, but a chain.
-
Double Deal Apology
Roger Doubledeal
Crocky was like family to me. I should have been a better friend to him...then we could have made a lot more money together. I give you my gratitude jar. If you use this in your Martha ritual, it should bring good luck to Crocky. I am sure Crocky will be very pleased.
The gratitude jar I gave you was given to me by a magician. It is said that if you fill this jar with gems while chanting your wish, it will come true. I have already made my wish too. That Crocky will meet a kind owner and have good luck...
-
Chilli Charm
Martha
It's still going to take a while for enough good luck to accumulate in the gyroscope in the clock. In the meantime, Crocky continues to be hounded by bad luck... I'm going to perform a ritual to attract good luck to Crocky, can you go find me the magic items I need?
The croquis now needs more than anything the amulet of chili peppers you brought us. The pungent aroma of chili cleanses the air of negative energies. Not only that, but these amulets also strengthen the spirit and protect the owner from the evil eye. With this, you can rest assured that your croquis will be in good hands.
-
wring the neck
Martha
Just now I saw something that made me uneasy...Miss Peacock was holding her neck in pain. She was wearing a "feather necklace" around her neck. Her face was contorted with fear. She was about to scream something...I can't stand the thought of the "bird catcher" strangling the princess. Look for that colorful "feather necklace.
In the scene I saw, the peacock girl was wearing this "feather necklace". How did the "bird catcher" get her to take it off? Here is her note. "No voice, no breath, the words are leaving me.
-
Feathered bangles
Detective
The "bird catcher" is a lying scoundrel. But he doesn't look like a robber to me. And there's no sign of a struggle in the greenhouse. We even threatened him with an interrogation, but he still insists that Miss Peacock walked out of here. By the way, I think I saw the princess's bracelet here. Please find it.
This beautiful but impractical bracelet belongs to Miss Peacock, man. Why did she have to remove it in the "greenhouse"? Here's another note. "She throws her hands out but they don't obey. The ring falls off too."
-
Robbery in broad daylight
Juliette
What in the world did the "bird catcher" do to Miss Peacock? She doesn't seem strong enough to handle it by force. Did he lure her to the greenhouse and attack her in some devious scheme? Let's search her belongings. Find out what jewelry she was wearing... the princess used to wear diamond earrings with feathers. Find them, dear friend!
Perhaps the "bird catcher" distracted the princess and took her earrings? Oh, I have Miss Peacock's handwritten note. "My ears are ringing and my eyes are dizzy." What in the world did he do to her?
-
unsuitable smell
Adeline Svensson
I am a journalist. I know a few ways to gather information. What do you think the "bird seller" is hiding? We know he was trying to get birds for hunting. And that he probably clipped the birds' feathers. Wait a minute...what is that smell? That smells weird for a greenhouse. Pine needles! Go find it.
I have some knowledge of art. Pine needles are used by musicians and ballerinas. It is also used to polish floorboards. But you won't find bows or floorboards in a greenhouse. Why do "bird sellers" need these things?
-
Wanas!
Detective
My detective instincts are telling me. We're being duped, pal! Miss Peacock is missing. This shady "bird seller" says he had nothing to do with it. But I think I saw a bird trap in the "greenhouse." Why would a mere bird seller need such a thing? I'll find that trap!
Yes, that's right, it's a bird trap! You don't need such a cunning tool to sell birds. The dealer is hiding something. And about the disappearance of Miss Peacock.
-
don't count on two things: one, two, three
Huntress
I don't like it. That "bird seller" says he's innocent, but something's not right. We searched the greenhouse and found no weapons. But that doesn't mean he's harmless. Even scissors, for example, can be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a master! By the way, I saw a pair of scissors in the "greenhouse. Can you get them for me?
I've read about it. In Persia, they use scissors like these to cut paper and cloth. But a "bird seller" is neither a writer nor a tailor. Come to think of it, these scissors are also used to cut feathers...
-
A place to relax
Juliette
Oh my God. That black cat almost got run over by a carriage the moment it crossed in front of me. It wasn't just an accident, was it? But the cat was scared too. Could you go find me a cat bed so that the cat can feel safe?
You found a great cat bed! With it, you won't have to chase the cat around town. When they get tired, they'll come back to take a nap on their own. But please be nice to him. It's best to treat a cursed cat with love.
-
The strongest sedative
Professor
I have brought a gurgling device of my own invention. If that black cat gets out of line, this device should quiet it right down. Here, let me show you how to use it.
This device is designed to calm cats. It works better than any medicine. Did you know that? The sound of a cat purring can cure neurosis and even insomnia. If the cat gets out of control during the capture, you can use this. It should calm down immediately.
-
tame the beast
Inspector
What you found was a "falconer's shackle". It reminds me of a story I heard from some friends who used to be hunters. They tame birds of prey by putting hats on them. It calms the birds down. That's how they get them to hunt other small animals. I wonder what the dealers are involved in. Look for "hawk hats."
This "hawk hat" is brand new. There appears to be no evidence that it was used to tame a bird of prey. Does this mean that the "bird seller" intended to buy a bird of prey?
-
Bird shackles
Lady
I would like to believe that the bird seller was just another bird seller, an unlucky one who had some misunderstanding. I understand your skepticism. You don't think the seller is who he says he is, do you? Take a look at his tools. I've seen "bird shackles" somewhere. Can you help me find it?
I thought it was a "bird shackle" for pigeons to wear to keep them from wandering off. These are the shackles of a hawk! And it even has the mark of the owner on it! I wonder if the seller even sells birds of prey?
-
Seeking Profit
Cardsharp
What brings this mysterious figure to the "greenhouse"? This is not the place to look for motive, my sharp-eyed friend. This card cheater knows that. These people are always looking for a profit. If you want proof, look for the money in the "greenhouse. I'm guessing the victim brought a bag full of coins?
Well, whoever had this "embroidered sack" must have been wealthy. The bag is full of gold coins. Someone came to the "greenhouse" to buy something.
-
I don't have time to read poetry.
Juliette
Dear friends, the "greenhouse" had a funny visitor. I can't believe you brought hot tea for two in the rain, and even brought a water container for the birds. I saw a little book somewhere with an expensive cover. I wondered why there was such a thing in the "greenhouse" with the birds. Let's find that one!
This collection of poems has not been affected by the humidity in the "greenhouse." That means the book was brought here recently. It probably belongs to someone who was involved in the case.
-
A Little Hospitality
Conductor
In other words, someone came to this "greenhouse" in the rain. And that person had a teapot. Why? Was it tea for a tea party by any chance? If he was visiting a friend here, he might have brought something for the birds. Maybe a feeder, or maybe a water container... look for it?
This water container is much smaller than the others in the "greenhouse." It's also easier to carry. So, in short, the victim knew there were birds here and came prepared?
-
caught red-handed
Detective
We've made some progress in our investigation. We found traces of someone who visited this "greenhouse". But is this guy the killer or the victim? We need to find out more! I saw a cloud of steam rising up in the bushes. It was coming from some kind of pot. Something like a teapot. Find it.
I knew it was the teapot! This tea is still warm. Whoever brought this is definitely nearby. Who the hell walks around town with a teapot?
-
Delicious toys
Huntress
Every student needs free time. That's why I want my pet to find a bone. So that he can chew on them in his free time.
Bones! I can even smell the meat. It's going to be tough to get it out of that puppy. You've got the perfect job for me.
-
wet mark
Inspector
Valerie is a novice when it comes to manipulation, but everything she says is correct. The items in the "greenhouse" could be a clue to identifying the person who sent the bird for help. Look for items that have evidence of recent use. For example, it rained yesterday. There must be a wet umbrella. Look for it in the greenhouse. It will give you a clue.
This expensive looking umbrella is still wet from last night's rain. This means that someone has been in this "greenhouse" just recently. But was it last night or an hour ago?
-
Talent to travel
Lady Peacock
Icy and her friends must help write the Christmas plot into the magic book. To open that magic book, they must find a talent stone! One of Santa's students is a master of guiding us through Christmas. His talent will be reflected in the jewel of the journey. Ah, but Nicholas has hidden the stone really well in the school. You'll have to find it!
With this travel gem and other talent stones, Icy will build her Christmas caretaker gem again. I hope our wizards will be of help to her.
-
Importance of Tradition
Icy
If my friend had not had the gift of preserving the legends of Christmas, I would not have known about the integration ritual. I would not have been able to create Nicholas' stone. We must look for the gem of knowledge. It will prove his talent. His talent as a keeper of knowledge! Can you find the stone somewhere in the school?
Only those who have perfectly learned and memorized all the legends of Christmas can produce this gem of knowledge. Without it, it will be difficult to follow the traditions of Christmas.
-
Cat Weaknesses
Huntress
Hey, I actually had a cat when I was a kid. One day the cat disappeared and I couldn't find it for a long time, but I put a bag of matatabi near the house and it came back because of the smell. I bet it would help you catch a black cat too.
You found it! See, you can smell it, can't you? The smell of matatavi fills a cat with a sense of euphoria. Once the black cat notices this smell, it will come straight for you.
-
My favorite snack
Valerie
If you want to lure an animal, a tasty treat is the best way to do it! Eddie loves to chew on cookies, too. Even if you fail to lure the cat with a toy, it will surely come to you when it is hungry and smells the treat. Go find some fish-shaped cookies!
Those cookies look pretty tasty. They're colorful and shaped like fish. You've found a good one! Look, Eddie is drooling too. We have so many, can I give some to Eddie? Don't worry. I'll save some for the cat.
-
fake rat
Detective
Buddy, to find out why the watch was attached to the cat's collar, you're going to have to catch the cat! I'm told it went on quite a rampage, so chasing it down may be a challenge. Let's lure it in with a mouse toy!
With this mouse toy, I'm sure the cat will come around. We'll catch him while he's playing with it. Be careful and quick, that's the most important thing.
-
Indispensable hangers
Anna Weber
I see that you can help me find the tools I need to attach the decorations to the breastplate. With your help, we can probably finish your requested item in time. First of all, we need a thread hanger. Can you help us find them?
I'm so glad you found the thread hanger! Thank you so much! If I can find a few more sewing tools, I will be able to complete the embroidered breastplate requested by a customer.
-
Watch your step.
Alicia
The designer had a talented apprentice. Unfortunately, he died during the construction of the designer's mansion and is now a ghost guarding the treasure cache. It's hard to believe, but...oh, I almost slipped and fell! Look, there are slippery tiles on the sidewalk.
What a beautiful glossy tile! However, this is not something that should be laid on the sidewalk. They are very slippery. By the way, according to legend, the apprentice also slipped and fell to his death. What a story! He had talent, but he was not so lucky.
-
The Universe in Your Hands
Vera
I know how to make a memory charm. All you need to do is collect a few key items that will remind him of the foggy back streets, his fellow gatherers, and me. Oh, and by the way, I'm sure there's a space ammonite in there somewhere... can you bring it to me?
So they found ammonites. Pretty interesting, isn't it? I found it in the fog and gave it to Todd. It's a symbol of our dream to one day leave the city and travel the world. And for that reason, we don't want him to be defeated by the voice calling to him from the fog.
-
countdown
Isabelle
To bring about Christmas, we need to gather the five Talent Stones and perform an "emergency" integration ritual to bring them together. Icy is a powerful enough child. But she can't do it without our help. Find the gem of accuracy. One of the kids we helped had a talent for measuring how long it would take for Christmas to arrive.
The gem of precision leads the Christmas countdown as if it has an absolute time of its own. I love precision. It avoids a lot of mistakes.
-
The beauty that resides in everything.
Valerie
If I collect the talent stones, can I really call up Nicholas' lost stone? One of Santa's students has a talent for making the best gifts. Santa wanted me to be his assistant. Well, I can't help it... Nicholas hid the stone very carefully. Can you help me find the gem of beauty?
The gem of beauty shows that the maker of this stone has become a true master of making beautiful gifts! Do you think I could be one someday?
-
Keeper of Wishes
Icy
School records described an "emergency" integration ritual at Christmas. It was created in case something happened that would cause the loss of the talent stone. We need the talent stone hidden in the school and the stone that Nicholas took away. I will explain the names of the talent stones and how to identify these. Let's start with the gem of empathy.
My talent is watching over the Christmas wishes of people all over the world. When that talent was at its peak, I created this gem of empathy. And I began to feel people's wishes as if they were my own!
-
Card Prophecy
Martha
Before we destroy the shell that protects the core of this clock, I want to line up the tarot cards to see if now is the best time to perform the ritual. The success of the ritual depends on you gathering all the necessary materials. Now, draw a card.
You drew a card with the Wheel of Fortune on it. This is a good sign! Everything is going to be fine. Every time a medium performs a ritual, he or she dedicates a little time of his or her life. And it fulfills the never-ending power of Eternity. The more complex the ritual, the more time you have to dedicate.
-
The delicate process of medicine making
Martha
The spirit of time didn't tell me if the magic hidden in the core of the clock was dangerous or not. In order to destroy the shell that protects the core, I must first make it visible. To do that, I need to make an exposure potion, but for that I need a potion mixer. Can you help me find it?
I've been wanting a tool like this for a while. Thanks for finding it for me! Now, we have all the ingredients we need. Now all we need to do is mix them together and let it sit long enough and we'll have an exposure potion.
-
Energy Distribution
Martha
You mentioned that this watch was taken from an unlucky cat? I'm sure the cat was under the influence of this clock. If we can destroy the invisible shell that protects the core of the clock, then we will know how dangerous the magic of this clock can be. But you see, this ritual cannot be performed without the cross.
Wow, you managed to find a crucifix! This was used by ancient priestesses and sorcerers. With this, we should be able to evenly distribute the magic that flows into the clock in the ritual.
-
Brittle areas
Martha
The black cat on this clock appears to be partially magically painted. But because it's protected by an invisible force, I can't tell if it was black magic or sacred magic that was used. I think if you bring me a crystal scanner I can break the shell protecting the core...
Thank you! This crystal scanner is a rare item. With it, we can find the fragile part of the shell that protects the core of the watch. Then we can figure out how to destroy the shell.
-
magic bullet
Martha
Do you hear that tick-tock sound? Every cog in this clock is powered by magic. But the core of this magical device is protected by an invisible shell. Without destroying it, we will never be able to tell the nature of the magic behind the clock. I'm going to perform a ritual. Can you bring me some moon dust?
The moon dust you brought me was not actually collected from the surface of the moon. What you have in the bottle is a mixture of magical ingredients that have absorbed the light energy of seven full moons. I am going to draw a magic circle with this moon dust and place a clock inside.
-
gambling king
Roger Doubledeal
Have you heard of Ludrig? He used voodoo magic to manipulate the outcome of horse races! When the black cat appeared, I immediately thought of his face. If you could take the horse racing trophy from the shelf in the compartment, I will tell you how he got it.
This trophy was given to me for winning a big bet at a local racetrack. We made a bet on whether his magic or my good luck would win, and I won. But Ludwig would have sent me something much scarier than a black cat. Don't you think so?
-
Battle of the brains
Roger Doubledeal
I believe that the person who sent the black cat to me was the one who was known as the "Invincible Grandmaster". I beat him at chess and took away his title of "Grandmaster". He was outraged and tried to kill me with the trophy I had won. Here, look at this. You see how the horns are chipped off from the impact of that?
See, you know I am not lying. It means that I hit him so hard that he chipped a corner. But in the end he apologized to me. I was given a small reimbursement for the physical and emotional trauma, and I forgave him.
-
excellent workmanship
Roger Doubledeal
It would not be surprising if it was Roxy who was brave enough to send me a black cat. In fact, I recently won a lot of money by beating her in a three-shell game. Shall I tell you what trick I used? First, I took the ball in my hand, then I used a special thimble...
You are very good with thimble! As you can see, there is nothing fishy about my trick. It's all in my hands. But Roxy thinks I cheat. But when I think about it, she is not the type to use the black cat's curse for revenge, no matter how malicious she may be.
-
magic potion
Roger Doubledeal
Maybe it was the "foggy powers that be" who sent me the black cat, the organizer of the rooster race. My rooster won first place and received a trophy called the "Miracle Rooster," which was made of pure gold...I must have been the only one who got such a big chunk of gold!
That rooster you are holding is very expensive. The race organizers accused me of doping, but they could find no evidence. I had no idea that the magic potion that gives you a speed boost was forbidden! But the "foggy authority" is a dog lover. I find it hard to believe that he sent his cat.

My competitors are jealous of my luck. No wonder one of them sent me a black cat that brings bad luck. For example, Johnny the Silent has tried many times to steal my bracelet trophy...oh dear, my bracelet is missing! Please look for it with me!
I'm glad you found it. Thank you! Only the best poker players can win this trophy. When I played against Silent Johnny, he was furious when I took this trophy from him. But...he is allergic to cats. I don't think he was the one who sent me that black cat.

negative influence
Detective
Buddy, I think I may have figured out who the guy was in compartment 8. But the train is messing with my head. The guide told me this would happen... but yes, an artifact might be able to protect my eyes from the negative energy of the fog express. Can you lend it to me?
While the artifact is paying off the negative energy of the Fog Express, let's check out what we've collected so far. Lottery tickets, poker charms, and a money clip with the initials "R.D." on it...Hey, Mr. R.D., who are you? Wait a minute... are you Roger Double Deal? Yes, I'm sure of it! I've got the research papers right here, too!

Exposing the fraud
Detective
There is no doubt that it was the passenger in compartment 8 who brought the black cat to town. We need to find out who the owner of that pesky cat is at all costs! Oh, by the way, there was a card stuck in the dartboard. Is this another gambling ritual? Let's take the card and find out.
I see the dart has gone through the card and is firmly stuck in the board. It looks as if someone threw it in anger. The back of the card says "Dodger"...maybe "R.D." got caught cheating with this card. Maybe that's why he was so outraged that he stabbed the card with a dart.

First Steps to Holidays
Valerie
Why did Nicholas listen to the silly advice in the diary? I can't believe Santa wrote this! Hopefully the students know something. What else is a symbol of Christmas? A wreath, right, candy... okay! How about looking for presents in slippers?
Christmas is a time of surprise and anticipation. The first surprise is when you wake up. You're about to put on your slippers when you find a present!
-
Scent of Holidays
Juliette
Dear friend, Christmas won't come without finding out where Nicholas got the diary! I know the ingredients for Icy's magic. It's a perfume that smells of orange, fir tree, and cinnamon. Even the mansion is filled with this scent at Christmas. By order of the landlady. Can you find the scent of Christmas for me?
Close your eyes and you'll picture a Christmas tree decorated in orange! Take this to Icy. This will help break the spell cast by her friends.

Gambling Superstitions
Detective
I thought it might be someone who manipulates black magic since he has a cursed cat, but it looks like the odds are more likely to be a gambler. But this mysterious amulet seems to be imbued with magical powers...Hey, there's something written on the back. Hey, there's something written on the back, but it's hard to read because it's almost faded. Can you take a look at it?
The "card amulet brings good luck to poker players..."? Sounds like it's just a good luck charm, not something with magic in it. Thanks for the help, buddy!

Named ornaments
Detective
We've learned a few interesting things about the man we think is the owner of the black cat, but we still haven't figured out the key to his identity. Hey, something is glowing under the seat! That's a money clip. Can you reach it?
This money clip has a four-leaf clover on it. This is a sign of good luck. And it has "R.D." engraved on the inside. That's my man, you found a good one! Do you know anyone with those initials?
-
hunger at night
Cardsharp
According to your theory, your students will tell you where the ominous diary came from? The most important symbol of Christmas is this guy. Find Santa's candy. When I was a kid, I used to sneak them in the middle of the night. I swear. I didn't get any presents after that.
Milk, cookies, sweet treats... the only thing better than the treats people make for Santa is a free and generous dinner. What? I'm thrifty, you know.
-
Lottery winners
Detective
The train has been coming and going for a long time with no one on board. That's why I'm so curious as to who was in compartment 8. There was a trace of ink on the table...that's what they use for lottery tickets. It must have fallen out somewhere. Let's find the lottery ticket!
I knew you were right! Buddy, we make a great team! Look at these lottery numbers... this is a winning ticket. Looks like the Goddess of Fortune has smiled on us! Oh, here's some more. That's a lot... you're a very lucky man!
-
Drinking cocktails
Detective
Buddy, any idea who Rei's passenger is? Our guide once told me. You can tell a lot about a passenger by looking at his or her drink. Check around the minibar. You might find something interesting.
The passenger in compartment 8 was apparently traveling alone. See, there's only one cup, right? The ice in it is shaped like a dice! Maybe he's a gambler. If that's the case... this passenger could be a friend of the card cheater!
-
Mayor's Request
Detective
Okay, the door's open. Let's hurry up and check inside the compartment. The train could leave at any moment. I don't want to become a ghost and be trapped on this horrible train forever.
Oh, this compartment is much larger than I expected. The seats are soft, the windows are large, and it's quite comfortable. There's something on the tablecloth. It's... cat hair! That means that this is definitely the compartment where the unidentified passenger was riding with the cat. Maybe he'll come back later, since his luggage was left behind.

Inspirational Songs
Huntress
The frozen youths may know where Nicholas got Santa's diary from. But it's important to unleash them. On Christmas Eve, people bond in their hearts by singing holiday songs. I remember singing that song as a kid. For Icy's anti-magic, find a holiday songbook.
When I was little, my sister and I had a Christmas songbook very similar to this one. Icy needs this one. He's going to break the spell on the students and ask them about their journals.
-
No time for kissing.
Icy
I have never made any magic against Christmas ice! Santa told me about that theory, but I never had the chance to try it... but you are right. If I don't do it, I can't save my friends. Um, the root of the magic of Christmas is the mistletoe ornament. Can you please find it?
According to tradition, those under the mistletoe should kiss. Unfortunately, there is no time to perform such a lovely act...but the mistletoe can help.
-
Crystal Forest
Conductor
Nicholas visits only the most dangerous and coldest places in the human world. But why? I saw a frozen tree somewhere in the school. You can only find a crystal tree like that in Siberia, on the border with the Arctic Circle. But it got lost in all the Christmas toys. Can you help me find it?
How beautiful. But it's a scary cold crystal tree. I mean ice tree, of course. My hands are starting to hurt from the cold. I wonder if this Nicholas boy has been collecting these dangerous toys...
-
Arctic Light
Lady Peacock
What was he looking for when he went out? Could it be that the boy we suspect was simply fascinated by the beauty of the ice? My colonel once told me about the Northern Lights in Norway. I saw a similar frozen light at school. Would you please find it?
This icy light is as beautiful as the aurora borealis that Gallahard mentioned. But there is something dangerous about this beauty. Why did Nicholas freeze this light?
-
Catching Waves
Valerie
I don't like this Nicholas guy or his secretive behavior, to be frank! By the way, I saw what looked like ocean waves around here. At first I thought they were made of glass. Now that I think about it, they must be ice! Can you find those frozen waves?
Wow, a real frozen wave! Nicholas definitely found this in Chicago. When it suddenly gets cold, the waves on Lake Michigan freeze.
-
tamed nature
Icy
We were collecting Santa's magical Christmas constructs...the other day I saw a chunk of crystal with a snowstorm bellowing inside. We didn't have anything like that at school before! Only Nicholas could bring a snowstorm with magic in it. Was he up to something nefarious? Please find that blizzard.
There is no way that Nicholas could have caught such a powerful blizzard except during a period of unusual blizzard conditions in New York City. What was he thinking, collecting such dangerous nature?
-
cold sip
Martha
I can feel the otherworldly cold air present in the school of wonders that happens at Christmas. I can't stop shivering because of it. It must be because of what Nicholas brought back from the portal. But why would he need something like that? Look for something frozen. That should answer the question. How about a cold drink in a glass?
I was thinking about iced tea, and this is an iceberg in a glass itself! I wouldn't want to drink this stuff if I were you. I don't know how he did it, but Nicholas had access to Antarctic glaciers. But why?
-
Delicate brushwork
Valerie
The painter in my dreams is getting more and more chatty. I'm sure I'll miss him when I return all the pencils and he doesn't come around. He wants me to find him some mechanical pencils. Help me find them.
The mechanical pencils found are called mechanical pencils because the lead comes out mechanically. But the lead itself is graphite, just like a regular pencil. This impressive name has many meanings!
-
Expensive tools
Valerie
I'm kind of becoming friends with the painter in my dreams. I'm not afraid anymore. Last night he asked me for a silver pen. It's a special tool for painting. I hope I can find it.
It's a silver pen. It's amazing! This tool is used to paint on surfaces with special workmanship. For example, during the Renaissance, canvases were covered with bone dust. It took a long time to master the art of painting, because once something was painted, it could not be redone. You can't erase what you've painted with it.
-
Christmas Messenger
Mistress
With a caretaker's megaphone, he can manipulate and command others. Santa entrusting such an artifact to a child? I wouldn't be surprised if the child was into power. Find your sponsor's megaphone and see if I'm right.
Maybe a caretaker megaphone would make a lazy servant like Juliette more agile. I don't see any evidence of this ever being used.
-
The Curse of the Holidays
Conductor
Let me help you. Let me tell you something good. If you're a Santa student who's been learning the holiday formulas, you can easily stage a hazard! You're right on the money. I've known mathematicians like that before... find a holiday navigator. Maybe, just maybe, they can lead you to the suspect.
Navigating the holidays isn't exactly a real world tool. This particular science is needed for Santa's sleigh... these calculations are incomplete. The problem occurred when the student was working on these calculations. It's not his fault.
-
knowledge is power
Martha
Santa entrusted his Christmas records to his most intelligent student. Could this student have used his vast knowledge for nefarious purposes? There are too many documents here. It's not easy to find a file with all those records... we have to find the Christmas records and find the truth.
It's not hard to read the Christmas records. It's all here, all the secrets of Christmas! I don't blame the owner of the record book. Look around, he was working when the problem happened.
-
Holiday Clock
Mayor
The broken celestial body and the state of this school. Who in the world is responsible? The most punctual of Santa's students will see Christmas come to the world. It is inconceivable that such a person would do such a wicked thing. But we must be sure. Find me the star clock.
I wish I had one of these star clocks. It would help me to keep time exactly! But it is obvious that the owner dropped this watch when the problem arose... he is not a suspect.
-
Infinite Present
Detective
Valerie's idea is over the top, but it's not a bad one. In fact, the only clues we have now are the tools to enhance Santa's talents. With any luck, we'll find out who it was that was interfering. Let's wash the items on the list as soon as possible. Can you help me find the endless gifts?
Does this endless gift-giving really give out an endless supply of things that people want for Christmas? Too bad you're not a wizard, man...
-
disinfection by magic
Valerie
Hey, do you think one of the students ignored Santa's warning and destroyed that celestial body on purpose? In the world I was in, they used a special ultraviolet lamp to disinfect it. Maybe that would work for magical infections? Let's find a lamp with ultraviolet light!
In the human world, UV lamps aren't that fancy. But the usage is the same. They are celestial objects that emit ultraviolet light to exorcise evil magic!
-
Signs of Danger
Huntress
The only way to get rid of the shadows that haunt this school and remove the dangerous magic is to be decisive and aggressive. Most of these monsters see a red light as a sign of danger. Find the red light. Show it to them.
I'm going to try this ruby lamp attached to Martha's celestial body. If it works for the spirits, I'll make something similar for myself.
-
cold light
Alex
To fix the Christmas celestial body and dispel whatever is surrounding the Santa artifact, we should look for a cold lamp with blue light. I don't know what magical powers that thing has. But as a ghost, blue light is not pleasant.
Put it in the Christmas celestial body and the blue lamp will exorcise the evil magic and the spirits in the school. Just don't point it at me, you know what I mean? Hey, was this note under the lamp?
-
Golden Sunshine
Juliette
I hear you're rebuilding your defenses against magic? I don't know anything about spells. But fairy tales say that evil souls lose their power at the first light of the sun. And there is wisdom to be learned in fairy tales. I wonder if you can find a yellow lamp that resembles the light of the sun?
Oh, look at the warmth this sun lamp gives off. I want you to give this to Martha. I want you to get rid of that shadow around Santa's mysterious artifact!
-
green light
Martha
The Christmas celestial body protects Santa's artifact from magical interference. Without this celestial body, Santa's artifact would be defenseless against hostile magic. The green energy in the celestial body is the basis of defensive magic. Simply put, the primary light bulb is green. Can you find the magic green pillar stone lantern?
This is exactly what I needed! This green light will dispel the aura around Santa's artifact. If it's a simple magical one.
-
Aphrodisiac Brooch
Martha
None of the accessories worn by the woman in the black dress are ordinary. They are powerful magical artifacts. This brooch on her shoulder, for example, any witch in the world would know. Find this brooch. But be careful. Don't stick your hand in the sharp edge!
This brooch is a kind of love charm. If a man agrees to wear it, his heart becomes a slave. It will obey whatever the owner of the brooch desires. No matter how lowly.
-
ink stain
Martha
It's a woman in a black dress with a rose ring inked on her hand. I found the same thing in a pile of wedding decorations in this hall. The ornaments are tossed on the floor as if they were worth nothing! Every accessory is brand new. There's even a price tag on one of them. Find the rose ring in ink.
This rose of the ring... it is said that spells written in the ink of this rose are twice as strong as normal.
-
Onyx bracelet
Martha
You chose an unusual accessory. Look at the bracelet the woman in the black dress is wearing on her hand. It's black onyx. It is a magical gemstone used in many black magic rituals. Even I don't wear it casually. Where can I find it?
Look at this. The stones in this bracelet are jet black! It's as if they are avoiding even light. The surface is not even reflective! Inside there is the letter M. It's the same letter that was on the sorcerer's signature.
-
Maiden Medallion
Detective
I think there is an important clue in this portrait... this black dress is adorned with jewelry, but the mannequin is missing it. Perhaps it was stolen. You know how jewelry always reflects the personality of its owner? Find them all and you'll have some idea of the identity of the woman in the black dress and the connection between her and the sad fate of your friend. The locket in this portrait-- I'm pretty sure I saw it hanging around Juliette's neck. Wait a minute. Did you say the woman in the portrait is related to the lovers' lost love? That's why Juliette's so cold to me. Hurry up and take this locket away from Juliette!
Well done! You got your medallion and I got my chance to win Juliette's affections. Hurry up. Good luck!

remedy of a law
Martha
Now I know why there is so much stuff in this hall. Cancelled weddings, torn up photos, cancellation notices and unwanted gifts. This is the dark curse of the city's inhabitants! Lovers' hearts are slowly breaking because an evil sorcerer has been stealing their happy moments for years. But who is this sorcerer? It's a dead end... yes, we could ask the detective, right? He's an expert at finding evidence. Let's show that man the portrait of the woman in the black dress.
Detective, this is a case involving magic and I need your help. I need your help in identifying the woman in black in this wedding photo.
-
Smell of Deception
Martha
What's wrong with my eyes? Can a shape-shifting drug turn an angel into a human? What's in this stuff smells kind of nasty. Find the shape-shifting potion.
The pill bottle is almost empty. There's a note inside. I know what you are dreaming of. Give me proof of your love, clip off your wings, and I will make you human. Signed "M." Who is this unidentified "M"? Who created this drug?
-
Angel Wings
Martha
If city hall records on angels are true, then the love story between your friend and the angel girl is a tragic love story. They will never be together. There are only strong feelings between angels and humans from different worlds. Now look in the mirror. You see the snow-white feathers of the angel's wings. I think the girl in the mirror wants us to find her angel wings. But where do we look for them?
Look. Angel wings are moving over the blank pages of the angel's record. Letters form words. There is only one way for an angel to become human. To do so, the angel must give up his immortality, clip his wings, and transform into a human being with the potion of transfiguration.
-
Who are the heavenly beings?
Martha
Fascinating story. If it's true, I'll have to look into angels more closely. But angels are not like ghosts. I've heard almost nothing about angels. We'll just have to hope that City Hall has some records on these beings of light. Look for information on angels at city hall.
You only found a few, I'm sorry to say! But that's not surprising. In the City of Shadows, angels are very few, unlike ghosts. Good. Let's see what it says...
-
love-letter
Martha
Remember the words "To my angel" engraved on the bride's wedding ring? There are so many invitations and love letters in this hall, but they are all crossed out, or they all say, "The wedding has been canceled!" or "The wedding has been canceled! I only saw one letter that said, "To my angel. It must be from Jacob to his fiancée. Find it.
Your friend writes in his letter that he has fallen in love with an angelic woman. The first time he saw her, she appeared to him while he was lighting a candle. This fairy-like person was so beautiful that Jacob could not forget her. And to his surprise, this angel came to love him too. One night, as she stretched up into the sky, a shining comet appeared. On its tail was written the word "love.
