the smell of life
Alex
Sometimes I order pistachios. They were my favorite when I was alive. I like to remember what they tasted like. Yesterday I was served pistachios in a "kraken bowl". I'm sure that's what the card cheaters are looking for. Keep looking.
You found the "Kraken Bowl." That's great. Tell me, do you smell the pistachios? If this is how card cheaters find secret tournaments, take it to them.
-
Souvenirs of the Seven Seas
Valerie
I think I saw an "octopus bottle" ornament somewhere. That could lead to a clue to a secret convention. I'll look for it for the card cheaters.
Yes, this is it. My old "octopus bottle". Isn't it cute? I was going to take it home with me, but the card cheaters were too insistent that it be a secret tournament. I had no choice but to give it to you.
-
Octopus Espresso
Cardsharp
A secret tournament awaits me. All I have to do is find a hint of the octopus left by the planners! I, for one, think I've seen an octopus cup stand. Sorry, you'll have to bring it to me. My back's a little sore.
Have you found your "octopus cup stand" yet? You're a very talented guy! Don't worry, we'll figure out the secret of the tournament! Just keep looking for clues.
-
increase your chances of winning
Huntress
When fighting strong monsters, it's best to play it safe. Look for a handgun with multiple barrels. With that, the mayor will never have to fear a monster again.
That's a fine multi-barreled pistol! With this, the mayor will be invincible against monsters.
-
Failed threats
Mistress
One of my frail spirits once brought me a "ring pistol". You threatened to commit suicide if I didn't reciprocate your feelings. Hmmm...stupid fellow! I'm sure his weapon is still around here somewhere.
Yes, this is the "ring pistol" I spoke of. You're going to help the mayor out in a hurry. I won't lie to you when there's mayhem in the city.
-
The best way
Juliette
Dear friends, this world would be a kinder place if we settled things through discussion and music instead of fighting and using weapons. Look for "Harmonica's Pistol." I beg your pardon? There are more funny miracles happening in this city.
Hmmm ...... why did they think a harmonica pistol wouldn't look dangerous? Anyway, I hope this solves the problem of the mayor and the monster.
-
Memories of New York
Detective
I have to help the mayor fight the monster. I was surprised once when I caught a robber in New York City. He had a gun with a knife attached! Look around for something rare like that. It could come in handy.
Oh, my God. This "pistol with a knife" is the one that the killer used to graze me on the side of the head! Hmmm, I'm all better now, but I'm sure he's spent plenty of time in jail.
-
Funny Weapons
Martha
For those of us with in-depth knowledge of the world of ghosts and spirits, it's a piece of cake. We'll perform a ritual and create a special handgun for the mayor. But it will require an unusual weapon that exists in the city. For example, how about that strange Merikensack pistol I saw on the street the other day?
You brought me a pistol with a Merikensack. I'm almost ready to make a special gun for the mayor. I'll be ready while you search for the rest of the handguns.
-
Whose bear?
Miss Izzy
Jimmy's fourth gift is a pink teddy bear. I saw some stuffed bear stuffed with candy for kids at Joy's. I wonder if there is a pink bear among them? Go find out.
You've found your pink teddy bear! Take out the candy and fill it with soft crape paper. Now it looks plush! But Jimmy's papers say he likes yellow...
-
things reminiscent of bygone days
Mistress
I was surprised! I can't believe my work is being rewarded. In fact, it would be hard to make light of my contribution. And now that the elves are back at the fair, I can finally decorate the mansion. Come on, let's go pick up our gifts.
What a surprise, thank you. Lovely licorice dragée. Delicate taste for connoisseurs. Hats off to the candy artisan. Come on, what are you smiling about? I'm leaving to go decorate!
-
Creamy sweets
Juliette
The detective asked me to come to the caramel shop because he has a gift for me! Oh, and then I wonder if he'll invite me to the cocoa shop. Let's go pick up the present together!
Oh, it was a gift from Terry! I thought it was for someone else. Thanks. I'm a sucker for tender toffee. It just melts in your mouth! Terry's not a contestant, is he? Let me check.
-
Symbol of Kindness
Isabelle
Before she was gone, Lady Rosemary told me She told me about the requirements of the "confectionery ordeal. She had to make five Japanese sweets, agar agar, to reflect the beauty of the "Japanese Garden. They are to reflect the beauty of the "Japanese Garden" and represent the beauty of Japan. Let's follow in her footsteps. Remember that wonderful lotus in the garden? Lady Rosemary might have been impressed by its beauty and softness. Let's look for the lotus wagashi.
You found the "lotus agar." This means that Lady Rosemary has accepted the "Japanese Garden" challenge. You have begun to create a dessert masterpiece. Find all the agar and you will find Lady Rosemary.
-
strong wind
Cardsharp
This old card cheater's lucky coin has rolled away into the mist! Now I know how to get it back. It should also help Bao master the wind! To do that, we're gonna need "Da Vinci's Helicopter." You'll find it for me, won't you?
Bao cast a wind spell on "Da Vinci's helicopter". The propeller temporarily dispelled the fog. I have found my lucky coin. Well done, Bao!
-
gentle breeze
Mayor
I have a favor to ask. It will help Bao master wind magic. I need to get the letter to the outskirts of town as soon as possible! Hey, where's the letter? Hurry up and find the letter, it's in the shape of a paper airplane.
Bao called the wind gently and promptly. He's delivered my letter to its destination carefully and quickly. A wind magician is the perfect assistant for me.
-
Wind to Destination
Detective
We're helping Bao master wind magic and I have to deliver a gift to a lovely lady. How about killing two birds with one stone? Look for "parachute parcels." Bao will summon the wind and deliver it to a specific location.
Bao just flew a parachute with a parcel attached to it to the window of Juliette's room. I hope you like the Chinese snacks.
-
winds of immortality
Helen
Bao needs help mastering his wind magic. I just needed some new powers for my telescope. Bring me the Windmill. Bao can use it in the Observatory!
This "windmill" is providing me with a steady supply of power for my experiments. The little tornado that Bao called me keeps spinning inside the "observatory."
-
Unchanged deliciousness
Detective
Terry Tafikas got me a present. You think he's trying to cheat? Well, he's been cleared of all charges. Not that I have a sweet tooth, but let's go get it.
Oh, this is a nice jar of salted caramel. Thanks, buddy. How did Terry know I like salted caramel? Was it you? I think he used his elvish magic. You're a cheater.
-
Cold and refreshing
Icy
It was great to see the elves break the spell. It brought the Christmas spirit back to the fair! Besides, it looks like Terry made me a sweet present. Let's go get them together!
Thank you! I love frosted peppermint candy! Nicholas and I used to eat them all the time when I went to Christmas school. Nothing compares to the refreshing sweetness!
-
leading wind
Detective
Buddy, Bao is the most capable guy I've ever taught. Let's help him overcome the trials of the inhabitants and master the magic of wind. I suggested that Bao start with a small amount of wind. Gently change the direction in which the birds fly. Look for a flying group out of the city.
The birds catch even the most subtle changes in wind direction. Bao is letting the swallows fly in circles. ...... Not a bad start, huh?
-
Festival music
Terry Tofficus
A musician's store was also damaged because of my wish. I need help picking up instruments and sheet music and putting them back on the shelves. We only have charcoal and soot right now.
Thank you! The instruments brought back the sounds of Christmas to the fair. My heart is filled with joy. Helping someone is much more satisfying than winning, isn't it? Wait... someone is close by...
-
Taste of Christmas
Terry Tofficus
Dragee of Licorice! The detective is a great cook and seems to be able to cook on behalf of the Christmas chef and help me restore my wishes. Let's help the detective make refreshments!
You can smell the street refreshments all over Caramel Boulevard. Once the chef is back on track, we can put a lot of food on display for the contest. Thank you! Lots of treats lined up at the stalls!
-
Unforgivable forgetfulness
Conductor
I'm a big fool! How can you shoot a movie without a film reel? I'm in trouble ...... I don't even know where to find them. You know what I mean?
This is a good film. It's brand new. Hurry up and get it over here. I'll find a film reel.
-
Action!
Conductor
Juliette will be ready soon, but we don't have everything we need for the movie shoot yet. For example, a clapperboard. Can you find it for me?
Now that you've found the kachinko, we can get started.
-
Beauty without makeup
Juliette
Oh, and there's one more little problem. I left my cosmetics somewhere. I need something to put my cosmetics on. I hope you can find a makeup set.
Very nice makeup set. I've never seen so many cosmetics in one place. Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready for the movie shoot.
-
Children's Joy
Terry Tofficus
To break the elf's spell, we need to help the toy maker too. Let's go to his store. Juliette says she will help us make gifts for the children. Let's make toys together.
Yay! Now the toy maker can enter the contest. Look at the shiny toy we made for him. The kids at the fair look happy!
-
Realization of a dream
Juliette
Well, what a neat idea! I've dreamed of playing a role in a movie for a long time! But I don't have the right dress. And I'd need a wig, because the leading lady is a brunette! I mean, the leading lady is a brunette!
Don't you think the dark hair color would look great on her? And the dress fits perfectly.
-
Valerie of Sadness
Conductor
I saw Valerie today and was surprised at how sad she looked. She was looking at the torn old posters and lamenting the fact that there was not a single movie theater in town. Suddenly, I had a great idea. Let's shoot a movie. But I'd have to sneak out and get the posters Valerie was looking at. That way I'll know what kind of movie to shoot.
The title on the poster is "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Hmmm......... I just thought of who I'd like to see play the lead role......... Juliette!
-
Arctic Runner
Detective
I hear Nicholas is trying to get information about Lumika, the "Snow Queen," from the memories of animals that were her friends? I'll help. She could even be friends with a white rabbit. Can you find one for me?
You're looking pretty scared! Your heart is racing! Give this to Martha. She'll use her magic to calm you down. She'll find out what she can about Lumika. As soon as she's done, I'll let you go. ......
-
Fur trade
Icy
The spirit of Mathias, who was Lumika's fiancée, said. The future "Snow Queen" blamed the villagers for favoring the fur coat of the "Arctic fox". She was friends with the "Arctic fox". Are there any descendants of that fox in this city?
What a fluffy "Arctic fox"! It is watching us cautiously, isn't it? Ask Martha to call up this fox's ancestors who were friends with Lumika. Maybe they know something?
-
Christmas Fun
Terry Tofficus
Without a playground manager, there is no one to move the Christmas merry-go-round. Putting them back together and moving the wooden horse should change my sour wishes. First, let's get the rides back in order.
Thank you! Now the merry-go-round can entertain the guests again! Valerie volunteered to be in charge while the playmaster was magically stuck. Look, the guests have already arrived!
-
Festival atmosphere
Terry Tofficus
CaramelCarl! I would gladly help them win the contest if it would undo my wish and break the spell placed on the elves! I'll start with the decorator. Please lend me your help as I create the decorations on his behalf.
Because of my wish, the decorations on the counter turned to charcoal. Thanks to you, our decorators can now enter a contest with their Christmas decorations! Oh, helping out is so much fun!
-
one's earnest prayer
Icy
Terry's confession made an anomaly appear in the air. It was as if a living photograph had popped out of a snowflake...was that a wishful thinking? You need an artifact to make the photo appear clearly.
The artifact indicated that Santa was angered by Terry's wish. Santa's frustration and disgust perverted the wish... and the situation is not good. The magic of wishes is hard to break!
-
Arctic Ornithology
Lady Peacock
Nicholas wants to know about Lumika's past before she became the "Snow Queen," which is wonderful. I found a feather of "Arctic partridge" among her belongings. Could you try to find that bird?
This little "Arctic partridge" is a descendant of one of Lumika's friends. Ask Martha to recall their memories, passed down through generations. They will reveal Lumika's past.
-
A Newcomer to the North
Nicholas
My uncle, Elias, told me that Lumika had a pet. A "baby seal." Let's find its offspring and examine its memory. Ask them to tell you about my queen's past!
What a cute "baby seal". Of course, this is not the baby Lumika was playing with. But Martha would be able to find out from this baby what he remembers about Lumika.
-
The Power of Extreme Light
Icy
The other party is surely Santa's magic. If so, only Santa can break this magic. But for now, let's try the most powerful cure I have brought with me. It is a wand that contains the power of extreme light.
The power of the polar light has worked! The elves trapped in the candy have been freed! Ahh! The power of the wand has been reversed! There is nothing more we can do... what can we do...
-
holly dust
Icy
We cannot give up. We have to try harder! This time we will use a potion that can deal with even the darkest witchcraft. Help me sprinkle the holly powder.
Did you see it? The moment the holly dust touched the candy, a charcoal smoke rose, but it was quickly absorbed inside again! We no longer have any choice but to resort to the most powerful remedy.
-
Moss Fabrics
Icy
Let's try another way to get the elves back in shape. Help us by wrapping Candy in a blanket of moss! We've woven a powerful reversal spell into the fabric, so it's sure to work.
Moss blanket flips the magic effect inside out. Look, it lived well! Quick, take the blanket from the elf! Ah, it's back to candy again. The elves must have been cast the most powerful spell of Christmas!
-
Spruce Aroma
Icy
We won't give up after just one failure! Try this spruce fragrant wood. This smoke will restore the creature to its true form. Please help me light it.
Thank God he lit the spruce fragrant wood! The smoke broke the spell for a moment, but the elves turned into candy again. What in the world is this magic...it's as if Santa himself cast it!
-
Magic Revealer
Icy
I have come in a hurry! I've prepared some medicine to free the elves trapped in the candy. We'll start with the mistletoe ointment. Apply the ointment to the candies.
Mistletoe is perfect for revealing what is hidden. Look, for a moment Candy took on the form of an elf, but not to the point of transformation... Don't worry, there are other remedies!
-
clear field of vision
Martha
With the help of the spirits, I'll hang the spell on the foundation of the amulet. This step is essential to the search for the elf. Weave a spell to make your vision clearer. Can you fetch me the satin flower crown from the Christmas tree?
Thanks for delivering the flower crown. The spell worked. Now I just need to assemble all the parts of the amulet and make sure it works. The genie says it's the detective's job.
-
Evergreen spruce tree
Joy
My third gift is a Christmas spruce tree that won't die all year round. Bring it to my confectionery store where I have an electric stand that can nourish the tree with electrical stimulation.
You brought us the best stand ever. Now the spruce will live a long time. To keep this tree healthy all year round, add a spoonful of magic syrup that will act as a conductor of electrical stimulation!
-
Cute delivery guy.
Miss Izzy
Let's make a second gift for Jimmy. A little delivery man he can use to send letters to his friends. I like that he can send them quickly and accurately. We don't have much time, so let's collect and assemble the Christmas decorations. Help!
You've got a wonderful delivery person in Belle and Tinsel! Let's bring them to life with some Christmas magic... now Jimmy can secretly exchange letters with his friends.
-
keen intelligence
Mistress
Now, I'll gather the next piece of the secret revealer. In case you're wondering, I'm going to go out of my way to give up my own belongings for it. I'm sure I put Nazar's eye around here somewhere...but don't just stand there, you should be looking for it too!
I finally found Nazar's eye. This exposes what is escaping my ears and eyes. But the eyes need to be skillfully enchanted by a calm person with a keen intellect... which, of course, is me!
-
Lion's Courage
Detective
Buddy, I've been given the challenge of carving the lenses for the amulet out of ice myself. I have to finish it during the first snowstorm of Christmas. We'd better do this ourselves. Can you help?
Thanks for the help, buddy! The ice lenses of the Secret Elucidator reflect what cannot be seen. According to the mistress, the lenses must be made by someone with courage and power. I don't like it when the mistress compliments me on my work.
-
Upbeat music
Valerie
Juliette told me all about it. Let me help you! The device to find the elf needs a bell with a beautiful tone. I saw them on a sled ornament at a nearby house. I'll go with you to get it.
Yay, I got a beautiful sounding bell! The tones of these bells break the spell and help us hear the unheard. This part of the talisman had to be collected by someone as jolly as Christmas. That means you and me!
-
kindness
Juliette
The mistress asked me to find the first part of the secret detector. I need a spruce tree for the base. It's a tree from the elven lands and it's on display in the town square! Will you help me gather them?
This spruce foundation keeps evil intentions away. The mistress explained that these branches needed to be gathered by good people with pure thoughts. I am glad we were able to gather them!
-
Mystery of Paper
Detective
Buddy, my gut tells me that the candy maker is behind the disappearance of the elves. Look, he's hiding something in the snow. A crumpled piece of paper! Let's wait for him to go away and check it out.
On a crumpled piece of paper that Terry had hidden was a list of contestants, their signatures, and today's date! The elves were here, but they've vanished. Looks like Terry Tafikas is covering his own tracks.
-
Funny Candy
Juliette
What's happening on Caramel Boulevard? Everything I touch turns to charcoal. Is it my fault? Hey, you should try it. Try grabbing that bag of candy.
See, the candy in the bag turned to charcoal when you touched it! So it's not my fault. Oh, thank God! You're terrible, detective.
-
Abandoned nannies
Detective
I think Terry has something to do with the disappearance of the elves. He's busy getting ready for the contest, but the others did the same thing before they disappeared. I'll explain, you go through your toolbox in the meantime.
It's a toolbox of forgotten items. This one belongs to a master decorator. This elf disappeared while working. And there are no footprints left by the elf in the nearby snow.
-
soot-colored remains of soot (coloured)
Detective
Of course, the guards didn't see anything. They were switched off. It seems we'll have to solve the case without eyewitness testimony. Let's check out the store where Juliette bought the chestnuts.
Look, buddy, there are brand new soot marks on every box. Did you forget to wash your hands before packing? The only thing I'm sure of is that someone was here.
-
Witnesses who wound up
Juliette
Do you believe Terry's story? You could be the one who caught the elves with the candy nets. Let's ask the mechanical guards. Oh, we're out of power. Let's find the screwdriver.
Oh, someone threw a screw roll in the snow. I'm glad I found it! Do you think this is a coincidence? Or did the culprit intentionally disable the mechanical guards?
-
Quiet commotion
Detective
From the decorations and lighting, the fair must have been held here. The detective's hunch tells him that the guy who attacked Juliette is lurking nearby. We should enter cautiously to avoid escape or getting caught in his net!
The boulevard is just so festive! Look at all the glittery Christmas trees, decorated merry-go-rounds, bright candy statues... I bet everyone was having a good time before they got caught.
-
White Ed.
Valerie
Before she was transformed into the "Snow Queen," Lumika was a kind soul! According to Santa, the townspeople believed she could talk to animals. I bet she had a friend named Okojo. Like Ed, only white! Well, let's go get that granddaughter and ask her.
You're white as snow, Ed! Look at you! You don't scare us. I hope Martha can get this weasel to "talk". About Lumika's past.
-
Spiritual abundance
Valerie
I need your help to find a statue of a mule with pearls. You know I collect good luck charms, right? But be careful, all I need is a statue made of bone or gold, otherwise it's a fake.
-
Health and Longevity
Valerie
Hey, don't you think it would be nice to bring a little luck and happiness to the city of shadows! I found out from the library that what I need is a statue of a cloth bag that carries positive energy. I don't need a big statue, just a few small statues, each granting a different wish. For example, the statue of Hotei holding a peach promises good health and long life. Please help me find them.
Yes, this is it! A fat and round Hotei-sama holding a peach branch! They say that if you stroke this belly 300 times, your wish will come true. I don't know much about rituals and such, but I read about it in the library.
-
Summer in the middle of winter
Valerie
Let's help the larger animals, too. The reindeer in the Arctic Circle will have a hard time finding food in the winter because of the thick snow that covers the entire area. Prepare fragrant hay for them.
Thanks for your help! I might organize a reindeer feast in Arctic Town. I might ask Adeline to write an article calling for the rescue of the city's animals.
-
Cafeteria on the tree
Valerie
For the squirrels, let's build a café in the tree! I've drawn the plans and I've got the paint ready. Let's hang the squirrel café in the city park for everyone in town to see. You'll help me, won't you?
Amazing! This squirrel café will be the centerpiece of the city park! Now the squirrels can eat real nuts without having to steal bracelets made of fake acorns. Thanks for your help.
-
Motionless Shadows
Adeline Svensson
I noticed one funny thing. When I enter the chapel, the shadows disappear. At first I thought it was the light, but it must be Di Fiori. It's because he painted this building. Let's find it!
You found a canvas painting of a building by Di Fiori. Still, it's strange. Look at the window in the painting. See how the shadows are moving? I can't believe it!
-
Realistic Monsters
Huntress
I had a rough day yesterday. I had to track down a werewolf based solely on his growling. There was no trace left behind, so I used every skill I had to try and catch him, but ...... unbelievably, what I caught was a painting! Would you look at this?
This is a painting of a werewolf by an artist. Ever heard of Di Fiori? How on earth did he manage to tame this model werewolf?
-
Singing sound coming from the canvas
Adeline Svensson
There are a few trees in the Japanese garden that seem to have stopped moving altogether. I believe Di Fiori also painted oriental landscapes. There, he painted a temple surrounded by cherry blossoms. Can you find the painting so I can compare it with the real thing?
You found me an oriental landscape painting! It's strange, by the way. The birds in the painting are singing cheerfully, but the real birds perched in the trees are quiet. ...... Fiori's talent has taken away the birds' voices.
-
living landscape
Adeline Svensson
Di Fiori practiced landscape painting among the street artists in the park to escape his pursuers. Let's find a moving painting of a cityscape.
You found a moving painting of a garden scene! Do you see the leaves rustling in the wind? You also see Di Fiori's flowing signature in the corner. Do you recognize this place?
-
Reflections of Fairies
Adeline Svensson
They say that when they were washing the garden with spring water, before they knew it, they had washed away the color of the butterflies' wings. The fairies are very ashamed of this. Let's help them re-color the butterfly wings. Bring the rainbow dust.
Thanks for bringing the rainbow dust. The fairies wanted to fix it themselves, but they couldn't. They said that from now on they won't wash their garden with spring water and that if they make a mistake, they will never hide it and report it properly.
-
Rare Butterfly
Adeline Svensson
I finally caught it! Is this... a colorless butterfly? I didn't think they really existed! Let's find out if this really is a butterfly, and if not, what it is.
I was right, it was definitely a colorless butterfly. It looks like the wings acted like a lens and burned the flower. Well, there are fairies hiding near the trap! They want us to forgive them for their mistakes and help them atone for them!
-
Captive play in the garden
Adeline Svensson
The trap has taken effect and multiple lights have started circling around the trap. Hurry up and catch the lights! Bring the traps made of spider webs. The web is reinforced with dew and can catch anything.
A perfect captcha. Thank you! The web threads are elastic and strong enough to absorb a ray of sunlight while safely trapping even the most delicate creatures. Great for research!
-
mysterious and unconfirmed animals (e.g. chupacabra, etc.)
Adeline Svensson
Look... a strange light has appeared beside the wilting flower. Is this the same light that burned the flowers? I want to collect more of this light, so help me make a flower trap.
This flower trap looks like it will do the job right! Thanks for the clever suggestion to use both the color and the scent of the flowers. I'm sure our readers will enjoy this story. Now let's get to work!
-
Bird Song
Valerie
Make a food box for the animals. Then they won't try to eat my trinkets. This is also for their health. Let's make a small bird feeder so that even in the winter we can hear the birds chirping in the city of shadows.
Thanks for making such a nice feeder! Now the birds won't have to search the cold ground and trees for food. I will hang this feeder all over town!
-
on the run
Valerie
You said you heard noises coming from my room? The thief might still be inside... Hey, is that a squirrel that just jumped out of the window? He was holding something in his paws! Help me catch the squirrel thief!
Thanks for catching the thieving squirrel. The squirrel is holding my mushroom earrings! Oh well, he's trying to store what looks like food for the winter...even though he can't eat any of it.
-
The Magic of Art
Adeline Svensson
Giovanni di Fiori always painted seascapes whenever he visited his cousin Caterina. Let's look for his seascapes. You can easily recognize it because the painting is moving on the canvas.
This seascape was definitely painted by Di Fiori. Look closely at this boat. See how the sails are flapping? This ship is a duplicate of the one on the pier in the city.
-
Unexplained behavior
Valerie
It doesn't add up... the thief didn't even look at my expensive jewelry, he stole my acorn collar, tore off my favorite bracelet and tore apart the ornaments. You see, here's the thing.
Seems he was interested in jewelry with an autumnal motif. This little mushroom ornament was ripped from an autumn bracelet, and the stolen lapel badge resembled an acorn. Who would want these?
-
Disappearances in the garden
Adeline Svensson
I asked the girl in the spring and she said the butterflies should have already been woken up by the fairies. She herself has seen to that. Have the butterflies been taken by the trolls? Let's check the wilted flowers. Maybe we can find some clues.
Among the wilted petals, I found one that appeared to have been burned through the lens. I looked elsewhere for these marks and could not find them, so it appears that the flower was deliberately damaged. Could the butterfly have fled in the wake of that incident?
-
Burden of Prediction
Ju
Look through the magic kaleidoscope that allows you to see the future and see if you made the right choice in your gift. It's a little scary because knowing the future can be a burden on the mind, but can you bring me a kaleidoscope?
That's the kaleidoscope! Who here dares to see the future of the city? You. Now, put the kaleidoscope to your eyes and twist it a few times. What do you see? Does everything look all right? I knew it would be!
-
An important cornerstone
Martha
Now, let's pick the third and final gift. I'm shaking with excitement. Have you considered everything and come to a conclusion? Yes, I have! This should definitely be in the box. There it is... look!
The panda symbolizes peace! He also has evergreen shoots growing out of his back. As the ancient saying goes, peace and tranquility are more precious than gold.
-
Definition of Happiness
Ju
Now, choose a second gift from the wish-granting box. We need to determine exactly and carefully what the city needs most. What's the most important thing in life? Yes, health! I'm going to take this sphere out!
You can feel the vibrations of life force from these spheres, can't you? It's designed to work on the body's acupuncture points and chi energy. This gift will surely benefit the people of the city!
-
Requirements
Martha
I'll put my hand in the box, close my eyes and let my mind follow the guidance of my inner eye... how beautiful! The whole city is prosperous, wealth abounds.
This is an ancient scroll. It has a red peony on it, a symbol of prosperity and goodness. I took it out of the wish box on a hunch. Why don't you hang it on the wall of City Hall?
-
fire magic
Juliette
I can only make special drinks with special methods. I will bring a copper cauldron and a sandalwood spoon, and in the meantime, prepare an autumn bonfire.
Your fall bonfire is burning beautifully! Ingredients for drinks mix better over a flame. The sparks work. See the sparks dancing around the cauldron?
-
key (to a lock)
Ju
In order to get the gift out of the box and into town, I need to open the box first. It's not easy to open, but I just have a magic meditation bell, may I ask you to bring it?
Thanks for bringing the bell. The unique rhythm created by ringing it should cause the air to vibrate and open the box. Watch! It doesn't look like anything complicated, but it's actually magic!
-
Christmas Dreams
Joy
Let's make Jimmy's wish come true! Izzy found the letter he wrote to Santa, so now we know what he wants. The second thing is a non-reducing caramel... I'm sure it's still in the pastry store. Can you help me find it?
You found a caramel that doesn't diminish. Thank you! There are only a few more left in the pastry store. I'll work my magic to make it taste different every day!
-
Magic Scent
Juliette
Chocolate beans are often used in baked goods and drinks, but this is the first time I've heard of them being used in a magic drink. The recipe calls for "breaking the beans into small pieces. Can I ask for help?
Thank you for grinding the beans so carefully! The sweet aroma is spreading throughout the kitchen. I think I'll grind more beans and bake some chocolate muffins. I love detectives.

The Witch's Secret
Juliette
My next ingredient is nectar from the autumn flowers. There are aster and arrowroot chrysanthemums blooming in the mistress's garden. May I ask you to collect the nectar from these flowers?
Thank you for collecting the nectar of autumn flowers. Yaguriku is often used in medicine. It is very useful in the fall.

What about the children who didn't receive their gifts?
Joy
Of course, let me help you make new gifts for the kids, or I'll break the Christmas Code! Bring Izzy's bells.
Thank you! This bell is supposed to ring in response to the names of the good kids on Izzy's list who didn't receive their gifts. I've replaced the pendulum with a Christmas candy cane to increase the magic power of the bell.

Labor-intensive materials
Juliette
I have to roast it for weeks to get the first ingredient for the drink. Good thing I know someone with readily available pumpkin extract. I wonder if Martha would be willing to share some with us?
I see you brought pumpkin extract! Thank you. This is Martha's secret recipe that she makes and uses in her medicine. I need this for my fall drink too.

Familiar places
Valerie
Where did I see the markings on this bookmark? I'll try to remember...in the meantime, let's clean up this place. I'll organize the books, you pick up the postcards that have gotten under the cabinets.
Yes, it is! I wonder if the view on this postcard is as hidden? Maybe Mary's mom got it from her mom Deborah. There's no signature on the back. Interesting.

A Trap for the Wise
Monk
Apparently, the "bird catcher" didn't only choose the heirs of the nobility. It seems that some famous people have also been sacrificed. There was once an advisor to a Chinese emperor who displeased the emperor. He was thought to have disappeared. You must find his brooch.
Trapped in this brooch is the soul of a Chinese overlord. Just as I thought. The emperor's advisor tried to enlist the help of a "bird catcher" to escape being decapitated. But a riddle trap turned him into a bird.

Favorite Pain
Mistress
I like your "bird catching" method. I'll have to write that down in my notes! It's all about the victims, a king in my time once had a mistress. Everyone was jealous of her. And then suddenly she was gone. Maybe the "bird catcher" scared her off? You're looking for her brooch.
The woman depicted in this brooch is definitely that woman, the king's mistress. Everyone wanted her gone. After all, she fell prey to the "bird catcher's" poison.

Selfish son
Adeline Svensson
You're looking for a "bird catcher" brooch with the soul of a rich heir. I remember something. It's about the youngest unfortunate son of a London aristocrat. He was interested in the theater, became an actor who could make an audience go wild, and then suddenly disappeared! Look for his brooch.
No doubt. The young, selfish son of an English aristocrat is depicted on this brooch. Apparently, he was trapped here trying to solve a problem with the help of a "bird catcher.

noble sacrifice
Cardsharp
The "bird catcher" must have been trying to extort ransom money from the royal family or something, targeting the heirs of rich people, right? I saw a beautiful brooch with a portrait of the "Queen of Egypt" on it. But I haven't had time to retrieve it. Can you help me find it?
I thought for sure it was a portrait of Cleopatra, but this guy is just an ordinary girl dressed as an Egyptian queen! I guess "bird catchers" can't go back in time, can they?

black gold
Martha
The magic that turns people into birds is a special kind of magic, and it's not an easy thing to unravel. For example, I don't sense any soul at all in those birds. Perhaps a part of their soul has been transferred to something else. Perhaps it is in the brooches that Miss Peacock mentioned. One of them has something to do with Saracens, I believe. Look for it.
This brooch has a portrait of a young Saracen in expensive clothes. This is the ...... prince! But I guess he's not the first in line. He is now languishing in the princess's cage.

On the Wings of the Wind
Cardsharp
It's getting colder, but I'm still up for it! The ice diamonds are hidden in the ice sculpture here. I'm going to grab it with my numb hands. That Pegasus sculpture has been on my mind since a while ago. ...... Let's check it out. There might be a diamond inside.
What a big pegasus! I see some kind of jewelry at the head. ...... Damn, it's a fake made of ice! You got me again!

Thistle got me.
Cardsharp
That crook hid my diamonds in an ice sculpture. Take a look at that elegant thistle sculpture. Something's glowing inside. ...... Let's check it out.
Did the Lady of Fortune send me this thistle sculpture: ...... No, where are the diamonds? Looks like there's something in there...... another fake. I'm not having a good day!

Cold Fruits
Cardsharp
I wonder if they can find ice diamonds...... opponent was a sculptor, but you said those diamonds were cut in the shape of fruit. Damn it, ...... you made fun of me! Let's check out the pineapple sculpture just to be sure. Maybe there's a diamond inside. ......
Oh, I see diamonds in the shiny pineapple. ...... No, that's a fake. Damn, I've been fooled again! That bastard must be sitting in his warm room right now, snuggling up and laughing at me! Oh, it's so cold I can't feel my fingers anymore: ......

Lernaean monster
Alex
Has anyone thought about the exploits of Hercules? No matter how many years pass, that story will never be forgotten. For it is "carved" in the sky by the cold light of the stars. Martha asked me to find the constellation Sea Serpent. I'm trying to build a celestial connection. Can you help me?
This "sea serpent" found symbolizes the second of Hercules' accomplishments. It will help Martha build a connection with the celestial bodies.

Zeus constellation
Inspector
For Martha to build an astral world connection with the celestial bodies, she will need the help of the constellation Cygnus. It's the constellation that flies along the Milky Way. You can find that star map in town.
In ancient times, people connected the birds in the sky with these crossed constellations in the sky. Martha could use this to make astrological predictions.

Toy Misconceptions
Huntress
The titles of all the books are intriguing! They were all authored by Mary's mother. Huh? Sharp is holding something in his mouth. Looks like a bookmark... take the bookmark.
Thank you for rescuing Shiori from being caught between Sharp's teeth and dying. It's so beautiful. It's like a treasure! And those marks... they look familiar.

cover the tracks
Valerie
Sharp was so eager to get his toys that he jumped up and knocked everything off the shelves! We're fine, but there's a broken flowerpot... can you pick it up for me?
Thanks for picking up the broken flowerpot! I'll find a new flowerpot and replant it. Also, there are about a dozen books down from the bookshelf, so let's get that out of the way quickly!

Interruption of play
Valerie
I'm glad you found Sharp's toy! Looks like it was really stuck in a gap in the bookshelf ABC. Wow...Sharp was so excited that he jumped up and hit the bookshelf with such force that he smashed everything that was on it!

Sharp is a Border Collie and very active. He is also a very good boy! Will you help me find Sharp's favorite toy?
Thanks for finding carrot knitting. Sharp and I appreciate you, too. Wow, again! Carrots went away again. I haven't even messed with it much yet...where is it now?

Sea Monster
Juliette
Dear Friend, Can't wait for Martha's astrology column? She needs the power of Whale sign. It builds a powerful astral realm connection with the celestial bodies. She's asked me to find her a star chart.
Oh, the myth of Andromeda is so romantic! Perseus rescues the princess from the mouth of the whale, the greedy sea monster! It's that whale constellation that I found for Martha.

Orpheus' lyre
Alex
There's a rumor going around that the Shadow City Times is planning to put up the fate of people with the stars. I am sure that the constellation Lyra will help Martha build an astral connection with the stars. It will foretell the future. You'll have to find a star chart for this constellation.
You found a perfect star chart for the zodiac sign of Lyra. Now Martha can make astrological predictions. After Orpheus' death, his lyre was sunk in the river. Zeus flew an eagle over it and turned it into a constellation.

Scattered minerals
Huntress
I need sulfur for the ritual to check the bloodline of the child werewolf man, but I don't have any. You can find sulfur anywhere in the City of Shadows. Can you bring it?
I knew it. I knew we'd find the sulfur soon enough. Once the ritual begins, a prosthetic hand controlled by a werewolf skull should be able to write out the information about Rudy's parents on a piece of parchment.

vaulting horse (horse racing)
Helen
That sounds like a fun column. I'd be happy to help Adeline. Oh, but please don't mix up astrology and astronomy. They are two completely different things to begin with! Pegasus constellation would help Martha build a connection between the celestial and astral realms for her divination. Help me find it.
Yes, this is the Pegasus star chart you've been looking for. Ah, Pegasus, the horse of Musa, goddess of the arts. By the way, astronomy used to be considered an art form and had its own Musa.
