Message from Italy
Valerie
I don't know about your girlfriend, but I love sparkling wine. That light, elegant drink is perfect for your date. Plus, it sets the mood and puts you in a festive mood. Yes, bring the sparkling wine.
Now what kind of sparkling wine did I find? No way, it's Italian Lambrusco! Tell me where you found it. I know you got it from your guide... but do you think there's one for me?
-
Romantic City
Valerie
As you know, the City of Shadows isn't that romantic. With all those werewolves, gargoyles, and boggarts... we'll just have to make our own place with a nice atmosphere. Go find a picture of Paris. Use them as if they were the actual view from the window. It'll make this place a little more romantic.
I never thought you had this kind of imagination. This scenery is really lovely. Wouldn't you like to ask me out on a date? I'm cute, I'm single, and I'm....I'm kidding, just kidding.
-
Set the mood.
Valerie
Funny, I get asked to plan dates a lot! I've never done anything like this, though. Tell me, who are you going to date? All right, you don't have to tell me. I'll find out on my own. Well, first I need a bouquet of flowers. A big, beautiful bouquet. She's younger than you? Then something in a softer color would be preferable.
This bouquet of flowers is simply stunning. But maybe a little too big...I hope you know what the situation is. How are you going to walk around with such a big bouquet? I mean, you need to settle down somewhere. I have an idea. We're going to the Red Rose Cafe by the river. What do you think?
-
omen of spring
Valerie
The last thing we need to summon the fairies is primrose or ruebeckia. According to the document, this flower makes the invisible visible. Bring me the primrose. Then you will be able to see the fairies.
According to the handbook, in order to summon the fairies, you have to eat some of the primrose flowers I brought with me. These aren't the ones that bloomed on the highway....
-
Beauty has its thorns.
Valerie
I still need something for the fairy summoning ritual, thistles. I could pull it out myself, but thistles are full of thorns. It'll work better if you bring them to me.
You can kiss them! You're not afraid of thistle thorns, are you? You can't leave it by my side. How on earth can you hold it without getting stabbed?
-
Summer Drinks
Cardsharp
I too would love to finish off a cocktail. A lime margarita would be perfect. But that's not important. I need to know the end of the pirate captain's story.
Lemon martinis are a decadent and aristocratic drink. I'll take it to the nymphs right now. Otherwise, I am going to drink it myself.
-
Citrus exhilaration
Cardsharp
Nymph's orders are getting bigger and bigger, aren't they? So, what cocktail shall I make this time? How about a lime margarita? It's unique and very tasty.
This is my kind of drink... by the way, do you have enough ingredients left to make another lime margarita? Oh well, too bad...
-
Tropical Abundance
Cardsharp
What an interesting story! Now we just have to find out how it ends. It's easy enough to find a cocktail called the Tropicana. Then the nymphs will tell us what happened to Captain Drake in return.
You were able to find the ingredients for the Tropicana so fast that you've already decorated the glass with a piece of pineapple? Your bartending talents are innate!
-
Mint freshness
Cardsharp
The nymphs wanted something cool and refreshing. I think a mojito would be just the thing.
A fresh mojito with sliced lemon and mint leaves makes a lovely drink for those who live by the sea.
-
Raspberry Delight
Cardsharp
It turns out that nymphs love light summer cocktails. Let's win them over to our side with something a little different and delicious, such as a raspberry rose cocktail. They may loosen up a bit and give us some important information about the captain of the Wandering Dutchman.
Raspberry Rose...that's where rose petal jam goes! Too sweet for me, but the nymphs would love it.
-
Symbols of my hometown
Vera
We often encounter many difficulties, but the misty backstreets are where we foragers go home. So we should add something from the misty backstreets to our memory charms. How about a potted rose, for example, which every traveler who comes there is sure to see?
Did you bring me a potted rose? Thank you. Todd hated it at first. He complained about the pawn shops that put them all over the street. But you know what, this rose is a symbol of the foggy backstreets, cozy but always dangerous. Now, let's add this to the amulet of memory.
-
Funny Hat
Vera
Todd asked me to add as many of my personal items as possible to the memory charm. The more things that remind me of me, the less likely I am to be lured into a haunted house by the fog. Could you look for my defense hat? You'll recognize it when you see it.
Yes, this is my defense hat. Todd is the one who put these cat ears on me, but I've been wearing it for a whole day without realizing it! Todd says he'll always come back from the fog, no matter what, just to make fun of my ridiculous appearance.
-
Time and Fog
Vera
A stopwatch is one of the most important tools a collector can have. Todd's stopwatch broke in the fog a long time ago, and he almost got into a dangerous situation because of it. Since then he has borrowed my stopwatch with the butterfly ornament on it. Can you bring that to me? You'll need it to make a memory charm.
I knew you could easily find the stopwatch. Isn't the butterfly ornament very fancy? And yet Todd kept it with him because I once used it to save his life. Add this stopwatch to his memory charms, and I'm sure he'll be able to resist the lure of the mist's calling.
-
inevitable sacrifice
Mayor
In order to weaken the wind and make it obey us, we need a wind map. It is the last item we need to perform the ritual and invoke the logbook.
No way! You've already found a wind map? Your talent as a discoverer is truly astonishing.
-
west wind
Mayor
Now all that remains is to find the unpredictable Zephyrus, the winds of the west. Sometimes it's a gentle breeze, sometimes it's a raging hurricane. You'll find a way to control his fiery temper.
Zephyrus, you have caught the unpredictable West Wind. You are qualified to call yourself a true windman!
-
Transient East
Mayor
Eurus migratory, the winds of the east. Easy to find, easy to catch... but beware. Eurus frequently calls up storms. So strong is its power, it can harm humans.
You got him? Hold it tight. Don't let him get away no matter what. The shifting East Wind, Eurus, is not to be underestimated. But you beat him with dignity.
-
Southern heat
Mayor
The next step would be to start looking for scorching notos and southern winds. Hopefully that warm breath will ease the bitter cold of Boreas.
Burning notos, did you catch the southern wind? Wonderful! Even I am just starting to feel a little cold being near the north wind.
-
Cold in Scandinavia
Mayor
The pirate treasure is unstable. The winds and storms have been blowing in it ever since Martha disappeared. We must catch the right wind. Let's start with the very cold Boreas, the north wind.
Watch out for the extremely cold Boreas. If they escape, the city's summer will turn into a harsh winter.
-
Sweet and mysterious scent
Angelique
To make a spring perfume, essential oils are essential to add richness to the fragrance. You can buy them at any salon, but if possible, you will want to get the ingredients yourself and make them by hand. To make essential oils, you need a special distiller. Can you please find one for me?
This distiller is brand new. The copper parts are shiny and bright... You have a very useful talent for finding things. Shall we start extracting the oil? It is a slow but very interesting process. Would you like to watch with us?
-
Buds and petals
Angelique
I know that it is very reckless for me to try to make a perfume when I don't know how to smell. But I like to take on difficult challenges. To create a spring fragrance, you need to use real flowers as ingredients. Dried petals have a sweet and sour scent. It would be nice to have that.
What do you think about the petal scents you have found? According to books on perfume, floral scents are particularly popular. Perhaps our atelier clients would like such a scent...
-
Let's add some color.
Valerie
The painter's ghost was very happy to see you. He has found almost all of his pencils. Now he wants me to find him some colored pencils. That should be easy, right? Bring the pencils. And that's the end of the matter.
Yes, this is it. This is my ghost colored pencil. Now I have found all his lost pencils. He won't be in my dreams anymore. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
-
Dandy purple
Valerie
There's even a crocus in the fairy summoning ritual. The funny thing is that the city of shadows has to gather them during the night... Not easy, but you can do it. Bring me some crocuses as soon as you can.
It's amazing! To collect buckets of crocuses in the middle of the night without the fear of gargoyles and werewolves. No doubt, this Nakayoshi's summoning ritual will be a success.
-
Collector's bond
Vera
To make a memory amulet, I need a memento... a navigation ring, for example. It belonged to Todd, but he dropped it somewhere in the backstreets. It's very important to the collector, so I really want to find it for him. Will you help me look for it?
You found a navigation ring? That's an amazing talent! Every gatherer has one of these rings. They are used for orientation, but they also serve to bind the gatherers together. It's like a ring that has been handed down from generation to generation.
-
Where the Soul Dwells
Alicia
This area of the garden is especially weedy...it looks like no one has set foot in it for a long time now. It would not be surprising if the mazes and treasures in the legend really exist. I see what looks like a house behind those trees over there...is it an optical illusion? Let's investigate together.
Oh my god! This is an impossible structure! Look at this strange structure. This must be the building that the legend calls "the maze. But what is that sound we have been hearing since a while ago? Could it be that the spirit of the designer's apprentice is really trapped inside?
-
buds of spring
Angelique
I found one of Fabian's books on perfume making. I would like to experiment by making a spring perfume. I have no sense of smell, so I have to rely on calculation and knowledge. Could you please bring some freshly picked spring flowers?
Spring flowers are so elegant. No wonder Fabien draws inspiration from spring flowers when creating his accessories. A perfume made from such flowers would surely have a gentle and delicate fragrance. I would love to smell it myself...too bad.
-
Elegant custom-made products
Anna Weber
Thank you for finding my sewing tools. Now I can finish my embroidered breastplate. Oh, what is this? It seems that part of the linework was damaged because the threader was bent on the way I brought it here! Do you have the tools to repair this? I need it to complete the breastplate.
Thanks to you, we were able to get through the pinch! Without your tools, the threader would have been useless and the linework damaged... but the embroidered breastplate was successfully completed. You see, it turned out beautifully! I'm sure your customers, who are picky about their tastes, will be delighted.
-
Pearlescent Pearls
Anna Weber
The embroidered breastplate is almost finished, but there is something that makes this an even more attractive item. Among the items Angelique brought from the mist, there should be a ruffle with pearls on it. Look for it in that box.
You found the ruffles with pearls on them. How can I thank you...Angelique brought back so many things from my home, which had been engulfed by fog. I could not have found the smallest of details so quickly among so much stuff on my own.
-
wire-work border decoration
Anna Weber
The customer who requested the embroidered breastplate is very strict with time. Failure to complete the project by the due date will cause trouble for Fabin. Would you please find some gorgeous wirework among the items Angelique brought from the fog?
This is it, the line work I was looking for! Now I just need to work on a few details and I will be able to complete the embroidered breastplate.
-
Lace pattern
Anna Weber
I was in trouble. The tatting shuttle is essential to complete the breastplate. Tatting" is the art of lace knitting, but in French it is called "frivolite. Can you help me find a shuttle, which is the tool for this? In return for your help, I will teach you a delicate technique that is my specialty.
Yes, this is my tatting shuttle! With it, I can quickly complete an embroidered breastplate. I am amazed that you found it among so many items. Angelique is a very kind mannequin, but I think she overdid my request.
-
Valerie is gone.
Alex
Oh my God. This time Valerie was gone. She was in front of the mirror in the café, trying to fix her makeup. At exactly midnight, a huge sailing ship appeared. The ghost ship headed straight for us. The mirror shattered into tiny pieces, and one of the pieces went straight through Valerie's heart. She collapsed to the floor and vanished before my eyes. Before she vanished, Valerie had boasted that she had tried on the old pirate's tricorn hat. Find her.
The pirate's tricorn hat is tired, but otherwise perfectly normal. Now that we have all this, hopefully people won't disappear again. Let's go to Martha's right away.
-
Where are the guides?
Valerie
Have you seen the guides? That's strange...he's not at the station and the others haven't seen him for a long time. He said he found a 100 year old bottle of wine in the treasure. I can't help but feel that everyone who touches the pirate's belongings will disappear! Hurry up. We need to find the bottle and see what's going on!
Bottle is very old but still full of wine. It has never been opened. The guide must have disappeared for some other reason.
-
Second missing person.
Conductor
Hey, listen...I was with a detective going to the treasure, looking for clues or something. But all of a sudden, some force pushed me out of the cave. I went right back, but the detective was gone. He vanished without a trace, just like Juliette! Before he disappeared, he was carrying a dagger. You think it belonged to the old pirate?
Yes, yes. This is the pirate dagger the detective was carrying. It looks perfectly ordinary... just old.
-
Pirate ornaments
Cardsharp
The old pirate disappeared many years ago. Many believe he may have left town by opening a portal to the Pirate's Cave. His records may contain valuable information that is hidden right here in the pirate's cave. But where? If we find five of the old pirate's possessions, Martha can summon the spirit. I think I saw the pirate's bracelet in the cave. Would you check it out?
This guy sure looks like a pirate bracelet. But what good are they to us? The gems, yes, they may be valuable, but they're just on a string.
-
Hostage Ransom
Detective
I lost consciousness during a ritual in a pirate's cave and found myself by the door of a café. In my hand I held a strange note. Unidentified patrons were ordering food for a dozen people and a large barrel of rum, even though it was the middle of the night. To prevent us from sneaking out, the unidentified people were planning to take a beautiful woman in a blue dress hostage, the note said. Oh, no! They've taken Juliette hostage! Hurry up and find me some rum. Please. Before Juliette suffers something terrible!
Thanks for finding the bottle of rum so quickly. I am so worried about Juliette. I'll leave the rum in the cafe as requested by the kidnappers.
-
Forgotten Artistic Tools
Alicia
I have never heard of a maze in this area before. Maybe it was a myth after all, but if so, where did these statues come from? Was it created by the fog, or was it the work of the designer? Either way, if this is the work of an apprentice, his tools should be nearby. Have you seen it?
Where the hell did you get those carving tools? Is it over there? Well, let's go that way. Maybe we can find the maze. Please don't leave my side...to find the designer's treasure stash, you'll need to step deep into the garden. I can't help but feel uneasy when I think about it.
-
Talented Design
Alicia
We want to find the maze and the treasure at all costs! But don't misunderstand me. This is not for personal gain, but to satisfy my curiosity. We are not even sure if the apprentice actually existed...come to think of it, there are rumors that the apprentice created beautiful sculptures. Let's find out.
What a wonderful statue. It looks as if it is already alive, even though it is unfinished. This was definitely made by a very talented person. If an apprentice to the designer existed, then the story of the treasure may be true!
-
Trap Formula
Alicia
Legend has it that the treasure is hidden in a maze where the spirit of the apprentice is trapped. He does not leave the mansion after his death, but stays to scare visitors looking for the treasure's hiding place. Through complicated calculations, the designer has prepared a special dwelling place for him. Can you find those calculations?
The calculations described here are completely incomprehensible... Legend has it that the designer calculated the lines that the planetary force field would follow and built the maze based on that. Yes, it is a maze in which those spirits that continue to stay in this world are trapped. Is the legend correct?
-
Beach Party
Valerie
Before coming to the City of Shadows, I traveled all over the place. My most memorable trip was to Hawaii. We had parties every night. I really miss that laid-back lifestyle! Please find me a postcard of Hawaii. I kept it as a souvenir.
Postcards from Hawaii! You found it! I'd love to have a beach party like that again...
-
Wisdom in the mountains
Martha
I have been to a monastery in my search for the truth. It is built on top of a mountain, hidden from the eyes of outsiders. It has everything you need to be enlightened: mountain air, ancient wisdom. The monks gave me a postcard as a souvenir, but it got mixed up with some other papers.
You found a postcard of the monastery! Just looking at this one makes me calm down and think about eternity a lot.
-
Monster of the Resort
Detective
I heard you are looking for travelers? I went to a southern island once. There was a rumor that you could see mermaids. Turns out that the story was just an attempt by the island to lure tourists. But the vacation was fun, and I came home with a postcard. Can you help me find it?
Thanks for finding my postcard of Mermaid Island. If you want to spend your vacation in the mountains by the sea, you should definitely go there. You won't regret it.
-
Hello from Greece
Conductor
Yo. The mayor told me they are looking for someone who has been to a tropical resort, I went to Crete once. I've been to Crete once, and it was incredible. I brought back a postcard as a souvenir, but I don't know where I put it. Can you help me find it?
Yes, this is it. A postcard of Crete. Greece is a great place for a vacation trip. The booze there is amazing! I remember looking for mermaids in the harbor after a bottle of ouzo!
-
Romantic getaways
Juliette
Have you ever been out of town, you say? Oh...it was a very romantic trip.... We went to Sunset Island. I wish I could show you the beauty of the cliffs framed by the purple light of the setting sun... I have a postcard. Where did I put it?
Yeah, here's a postcard from Sunset Island! Merci for finding it. I have so many memories... sorry. I got a little carried away.
-
Booty from the North
Cardsharp
The last ornament has horns...the Vikings wore horned helmets. That's all I can think of. Maybe it means we should look for a Scandinavian god.
A Scandinavian god. He's rugged and masculine. The set is now complete.
-
Land of Spices
Cardsharp
Hmmm... the fourth one looks more like a picture of an anise tree than an ornament. I need to find the spoils of the land of spices. The first one that comes to mind is Ganesha, the Indian elephant god.
Ganesha is the god of wisdom and prosperity. But the pirates were probably more interested in the golden ornaments than the Hindu symbolism.
-
Symbols of the New World
Cardsharp
I don't know what the third symbol means. But stylistically it looks Mayan. Which means we have to find the American loot.
This Mayan figurine is a symbol of the New World. Pirates were always looking for new lands, new adventures, treasure and glory.
-
Symbols of the Dark Continent
Cardsharp
Hmmm...the second ornament is African by all accounts. No doubt. We need to find a figurine made of ebony. Black as night.
The sculptor is not so skilled, but the material itself... an African idol made of ebony wood. No matter where you cut it, it's a trophy of great value.
-
Symbols of Asia
Cardsharp
There are hints in the notes. The figurines show various places in the world. The first one from Asia looks like a netsuke. I bet you this silk hat. Shall we look for a Japanese idol then?
I knew it! The first ornament was a Japanese idol! We're turning out to be a pretty good team.
-
Blood and Sun
Lady
Legend has it that the sun was once captured by a snake and the people lost their warmth. At that time, a brave young man defeated the monster and brought back the sun and spring to the world. His red blood and the color of the first snowfall became the source of the red and white decorations of spring. Look for the red and white decorations of spring in the mansion.
Help the gatekeepers bring back spring with these spring red and white decorations. Just as that brave young man brought back the sun. We do not wish for blood to be spilled, but...
-
Spring Paint
Lady Peacock
In my hometown, we celebrate the arrival of spring with a festival called the Holly Festival. During this beautiful event, we burn the dolls of evil beings. People all rejoice in the arrival of spring and throw festival paints at each other. Please find that paint, please!
The participants are overflowing with joy as they paint for the Holi Festival! It's a colorful crowd! This overwhelming energy helps the gatekeepers bring in spring...
-
Cradle of the World
Lady
Long before the spirits of spring appeared, they were collecting symbols of Easter traditions. In some countries, women color Easter eggs by hand. Each egg symbolizes the birth of the world and the coming of spring. There must have been one in the mansion... look for the colored eggs.
A certain talented lady gave me this ornately decorated egg. I can feel her warmth and the primal power of spring radiating from the egg. Oh, please help the gatekeeper!
-
On a carpet of petals
Doorkeeper
Every year the Japanese cherry blossoms attract millions of people around the world with their traditional hanami. I once brought a branch of cherry blossoms in full bloom to a lady. Back when I had not yet lost my powers. They are a symbol of the great spring. Can you help me find some cherry blossoms in full bloom?
This cherry branch is still newly bloomed. My power can no longer nurture it, though. But I can feel the power of spring from every petal! I hope this helps to open the door.
-
long-eared owl (Asio otus)
Huntress
I hope to find the legendary symbol of spring at the Lady's mansion. The most eagerly awaited spring visitor is the Easter bunny. It's believed that the rabbit builds a nest in the garden and brings beautifully colored eggs there for the holiday. Can you help me find the Easter Bunny?
It's a real Easter bunny! And you're really holding a colored egg. I hope this magical animal helps the gatekeepers bring in spring.
-
For Traditions
Valerie
Whoever brought the nightingale to the Lady's mansion knows her well. And about the traditions of Easter. By the way, there's a tradition at Easter of hiding eggs and finding them. That poor worshipper must have left the Lady an Easter egg. We have to find the eggs!
Wow, an Easter egg. This looks somewhat like the Easter eggs of the Russian imperial family! Oh, I opened it... there's a letter inside! It must be his confession!
-
Magic nectar
Lady
Recently, I was in trouble because I ran out of syrup for my baked goods. Then I found a jug of very tasty nectar in the window. If that is not a sign of love and care for me, what is? Look for that nectar. From that moment on, that nectar would appear in my house from time to time.
The nectar of this flower breathes new life into my very dessert! Whoever brought this to me brought the nightingale here. I know what I'm talking about. They always take care of what I need...
-
irreplaceable love
Lady Peacock
The magical nightingale is adorned with jewels. Which means that the lady's mysterious admirer who brought the machine that puts the tree to sleep is a rich man. For this person, the best way to convey his feelings to the Lady was to give her jewelry. Find a special jewel that the Lady would never buy for herself!
This ring is worthy of being worn by an empress! It is decorated with living plants. Martha said that trolls cannot create anything from living things. Does that mean it was a magician who made this?
-
Heartfelt stone
Juliette
Only someone who truly loved the Lady could have brought the nightingale to the mansion. How romantic! It's troubling that it's affecting the tree. If that person really loved the Lady, he/she would surely have a portrait of her. Do you have a small picture or some sort of pendant with the picture in it?
This lovely pendant does indeed have the lady's picture on it! And this wonderful piece...the chain is broken. I'm sure this lady's admirer must have accidentally dropped it.
-
harbinger of spring
Cardsharp
This poor card cheater is tired of freezing his ass off waiting for spring. We need to find this love-crazed asshole and turn that damned bird off. Check his personal belongings and maybe you'll find where the key is. Look for other signs of his love. A man always sends flowers. But with the harsh winter still to come... well, look for the snowdrops!
This snowflake is made of jewels and is alive! This suitor is a fool. To give such a priceless gift...but he knew how to find flowers in the middle of winter.
-
common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)
Inspector
Did you notice a pleasant melody echoing in the hall around noon? That sound started again an hour later. It must be a clock. It's playing the time of the Lady's beautiful home. Perhaps this melody is disturbing the opening of the buds? Find me a pendulum clock.
This clock is very complicated. It plays a melody every hour. I had one of these antiques in my office. Isabelle promised to check it out to see if there was any magic in it.
-
fashions of yesteryear
Mayor
I can hear the gramophone in the hall. That machine was very popular in our time. And it seems that the lady chose a fashionable gramophone and put it in the living room. Find a phonograph. Then Martha will find out if it is the source of the magic that puts the tree to sleep.
This gramophone will bring back happy memories. Martha will feel nostalgia as she performs her magical rituals. Now take this gramophone to the psychic.
-
Musician in the garden
Lady Peacock
They are probably looking for something that will be the sound source of the melody they will give to Martha. But could it be a living creature? Birds singing, or...wait a minute, there are cicadas singing! The hotel garden was full of cicadas during the summer. Look for cicadas!
I have never seen such a cicada! It's like a graceful oriental jewel. Take this to Martha. Take it to Martha and have her check it for dangerous magic. And please don't damage the feathers!
-
Wind Music
Lady
I have so many things in my house that are sound sources. I wonder which of them will work their magic on that poor tree? I hear crystals playing intricate melodies. That must be my favorite crystal ornament, the crystal wind chime. Please find it!
I heard that this wind chime was hanging on the window next to that tree? Hurry up and deliver this to psychic Martha! Have him check it out immediately.
-
Sounds of Childhood
Juliette
Martha told me to find something that could be the soundtrack to the melody. I do so, and Martha will find that magic. I hear a simple but gentle melody coming from the music box! It reminds me of my childhood. I wonder if this gentle music is preventing the tree from blossoming? Find the music box, dear friend!
What a wonderful music box. I can play so many tunes! Lady promised to give this to me when the problem of the magic melody is solved.
-
Small amount of water
Juliette
Most of the problems that happen to plants have to do with water, dear friend. I have taken care of my landlady's garden and greenhouse. I wonder if lack of water is the reason why the tree of life is not flowering? Find a watering can. Find out what the gatekeeper and the lady used to water it!
I can give you pure spring water with this jar. I asked Martha to check it out. They take very good care of the tree of life. So why doesn't it flower?
-
Special Meals
Isabelle
Could it be that the Tree of Life is not flowering, perhaps because of chemicals or poisons? Maybe some foreign impurity got mixed in with the fertilizer. Or maybe the spring's enemies intentionally mixed in poisons. Let's find the fertilizer and do an alchemical analysis.
This magical fertilizer contains a very high quality magical extract. I made sure of it. If we were using such a good product, the trees would have flowered by now. What's the problem?
-
seek the truth
Juliette
I'm also an experienced gardener. I promised Isabelle I would help her. Perhaps the tree of life is not flowering because of bad soil. Find me a shovel. It should be in the gatekeeper's and lady's tools. With it, we can dig up the soil and check its condition.
Ah, the lady's tools are so neat, even the shovel! I did a little digging in the dirt. It's definitely very good quality soil!
-
Slight Cracks
Detective
I'm trying to figure out if the tree is the cause of the illness. But I need to think like a detective. In fact, just a tiny crack in a flowerpot that you don't even notice can ruin everything. Julie used a fig as an example to teach me that. Let's check out that tree pot, shall we?
What a gorgeous bowl! Not a single crack. On the contrary, I think this pot is perfect for growing the tree of life. What in the world is this tree missing?
-
tree doctor
Isabelle
To find out what is happening to the tree of life, we need to examine the leaves of the tree. I inspected the surface and found nothing wrong. The plant itself is fine. But a smart gardener has a special lens. He or she can use it to see if there are any hidden diseases on the leaves. Find your garden magnifying glass.
That's wonderful. I'm going to check out the leaves on the tree of life with this garden magnifying glass. Well, well, well... good news! The sapling's leaves are smooth and healthy, no signs of disease at all.
-
Easter Traditions
Huntress
The owner of this house is obsessed with Easter. But does she really know about traditional baked goods? I hope it's not a trap, like Hansel and Gretel's house of candy. Find out what kind of pastry she was trying to make. Find the molds for baking the pastries.
This is the mold used to bake a sheep-shaped cake for Easter. So, an elegant noble lady baked her own Easter cake for the whole town. Who was she?
-
Master confectioner
Inspector
You mentioned in your invitation that the mysterious master of this mansion is waiting for you to make pastries. I don't recall many noble ladies cooking for themselves. Find the pastry-making utensils and find out if she wrote the truth. Find the measuring spoons.
This measuring spoon has the same initials as the one embroidered on the napkin. And it's made of silver. Noble ladies used to bake their own pastries!
-
guest
Juliette
I was just thinking about the invitation written by the mysterious nobleman, dear friend! It's very exciting. Let's help the detective gather evidence that she was involved. Did you see the postcard with the scent of something smeared on it? Was it, uh... cinnamon perfume?
Look, there's a pre-written invitation stuck in this lovely card holder! There's no doubt about it. The owner of this house really invited us to dinner.
-
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.
