Rainbow Bridge
They say that you can see the Rainbow Bridge from Seti Falls. Can you take a few pictures for me?
After Observation event
You: (Found it. Is that the rainbow Professor Johnson mentioned?)
The gorgeous rainbow spans above the waterfall, like a colorful belt decorating the magnificent view.
You: (Looking from this angle, it really is like a bridge above the waterfall.)
You: (Oh right. I should take a picture!)
Anderson Johnson: Young lady, have you seen the rainbow bridge?
You: Yes. The waterfall is so beautiful. I've taken loads of photos.
Anderson Johnson: Did you take a picture of the rainbow bridge I told you about?
You: Yes! I specifically took a DSLR camera with me.
Anderson Johnson: Not bad. The arch of the rainbow is clearly captured in the picture. And the angle is very nice.
Anderson Johnson: Young lady, are you a professional photographer?
You: No. Just that I have a friend who loves photography.
You: Maybe I've learned some photography techniques from him because we spend so much time together.
You: I took a few pictures with my phone, but... when I took the picture, the rainbow was already a bit vague.
Anderson Johnson: The angles you chose are very nice in the photos. It's a shame that it's not clear.
Anderson Johnson: Try your luck again next time. Maybe you'll take some nicer photos.
You: Well, I'll go again when I have the chance.
Important Document
Hello. Can you pass on a script to my student? It's very important.
Anderson Johnson: Ahh... Such a headache. What should I do?
You: Are you okay?
Anderson Johnson: I found an important manuscript that I forgot to give to my students.
Anderson Johnson: But my investigation work here is not over yet, I can't leave yet...
Anderson Johnson: Would you do me a favor and deliver this? She's just on the other side of the cliffs.
You: Sure. I'll do it.
Anderson Johnson: Great. Thank you! I'm going to give my student a call and ask her to wait for you at the wreckage of the plane.
You: Don't worry. I guarantee the manuscript will be delivered safely.
You: But I've got something to do right now...
Anderson Johnson: Sorry. I really can't find anyone else. Can you help me?
You: Okay. I'll deliver it to you. Please tell me the address.
Anderson Johnson: Thank you. May the faeries bless you, kind lady.
Anderson Johnson: I'm going to give my student a call and ask her to wait for you at the wreckage of the plane.
College Student: Excuse me, are you Miss [Player]?
You: Yes. Are you Professor Johnson's student? This is the manuscript he asked me to give you.
College Student: Thank you. Thanks for bringing it over.
College Student: That Professor... How could he forget something so important?
You: Yes, and you are?
College Student: I'm a student of Professor Johnson. He asked me to wait for you here. May I see the manuscript, please?
You: Sure. Here you are.
College Student: That's the one. Thank you so much! That Professor... How could he forget something so important?
College Student: Anyway. We Skadi Islanders never forget a favor. This is my gift. Please accept it.
Faerie Town Interview
Can you go to Faerie Town for me and interview the person who saw a faerie?
Anderson Johnson: Do you have time? Can you go to Faerie Town for me and interview the "young man who saw a faerie"?
Anderson Johnson: I have some business here, so I can't go myself...
You: Sure. I've been wanting to visit Faerie Town.
Anderson Johnson: Thank you. I'll send you the interview resources. Just conduct the interview according to the questions in the file.
At Faerie Town
Faerie-Loving Youth: Hey. Are you the interviewer that Professor Johnson was talking about?
You: Yes. I'd like to ask you a few clarifying questions about faeries.
Faerie-Loving Youth: Sure! Ask me anything about faeries — I'm their biggest fan in this town!
You: About when did you see the faerie?
Faerie-Loving Youth: When I was around five or six years old, I guess. I remember seeing a faerie float in front of me at night...
Faerie-Loving Youth: Ahh, that's gotta be a miracle!
You: Did the faerie have any special abilities?
Faerie-Loving Youth: It knew magic! It brought me to this beautiful room and used magic to make this amazing and huge cake.
Faerie-Loving Youth: It was the best cake that I've ever had!
You: (Cake? Don't tell me it was like a house elf?)
You: Do you remember what the faerie looked like?
Faerie-Loving Youth: I do! It was really small — about the size of my palm. It wore a pointy hat and had a red nose...
You: Sounds like a fairy tale gnome or something.
Faerie-Loving Youth: It was a faerie, a faerie! It wasn't like anything in made-up fairy tales!
You: O—Okay, I see.
You: Where did you see the faerie?
Faerie-Loving Youth: Hmm... It was a dark place. It was probably my attic or courtyard or something...
Faerie-Loving Youth: I remember now! It was next to my grandma's faerie cottage. No doubt about it!
You: So... How does one meet a faerie?
Faerie-Loving Youth: Faeries are miraculous beings, so you can only see them if they acknowledge you.
Faerie-Loving Youth: I think that as long as you sincerely pray each day to meet one, a faerie will definitely answer you one day.
You: ...I—I see.
You: Thank you for chatting with me for so long. That's all my questions.
Faerie-Loving Youth: You're welcome. If you ever have more questions about faeries, feel free to come and ask me again.
At Seti Falls
You: Professor Johnson, this is the interview report.
Anderson Johnson: Thank you so much. Oh yes, what did you think about the interview?
You: After hearing so much from him in detail, I don't think he was lying.
You: I think he really could have seen a faerie.
Anderson Johnson: Interesting. I should chat with him the next time I'm free.
You: Truthfully, I don't think he saw a faerie. Nothing he said sounded very real...
Anderson Johnson: Haha, I know what you mean. After all, faeries are mythical beings...
Anderson Johnson: It's difficult for people to believe in them without concrete proof of their existence.
Anderson Johnson: Anyway, thank you for your help and hard work today. This gift is for you.
Drone Rescue Plan
Something's wrong with the drone's batteries. Can you buy a new battery for me?
Anderson Johnson: Excuse me, can you do me a favor?
You: What's the matter?
Anderson Johnson: When I was taking photos with the drone, I found there's something wrong with its remote battery.
Anderson Johnson: Can you buy me a new battery at the store in Vikya Capital?
You: Sure. But... but before I go to buy batteries, I have a few questions.
You: What's the address of the store that you mentioned?
Anderson Johnson: The street number... I can't remember anymore.
Anderson Johnson: But I remember that the shop was on the first avenue in the northern business district, so it should be very easy to find.
You: What type of battery was it?
Anderson Johnson: Please tell the clerk that it's the battery you need for drone controllers. There's only one type of battery.
You: Can this drone really take a panoramic view of Seti Falls?
Anderson Johnson: Of course, it can. I've modified this drone to fly longer and faster compared to other drones.
Anderson Johnson: If it wasn't for the controller, I'd have taken a picture for you already.
You: Okay. I'll go and buy the batteries now. See you later.
Anderson Johnson: I'll wait for you here. Thank you.
At Vikya Mall
You: (This must be the store Professor Johnson talked about...)
Store Clerk: Hello, what can I do for you?
You: I want to buy a special battery for the remote of a drone.
Store Clerk: Just a moment... This is the battery you want. Here you go.
You: (It's quite convenient to shop here. I'd like to visit the shopping mall next time.)
You: I want to buy batteries for drones.
Store Clerk: Drones? Are you talking about the battery for the drone control?
You: Yes, that's it... That was a mistake. Sorry.
Store Clerk: Just a moment... This is the battery you want. Here you go.
At Seti Falls
You: Professor Johnson, this is the battery you asked for.
Anderson Johnson: Yes, that's it. Thank you!
Anderson Johnson: Thanks to your help, I can finally take pictures of the full view of the magnificent waterfall!
Strange Stone Tablet
There's just too much. Can someone help me write down the words on the stone tablets?
Anderson Johnson: "F" means wealth, "U" means fate... Unknown factor...
You: Are you recording information?
Anderson Johnson: I'm reading this stone tablet. It's said to be written in ancient faerie language, and it hides their secret.
Anderson Johnson: But there are too many characters on the stone tablet...
Anderson Johnson: If someone can help me copy the words from the stone tablet, my reading efficiency will be improved.
You: Let me help you.
Anderson Johnson: That's great. The stone tablet is on the hill over there. Thank you.
After agreeing to Professor Johnson's request, you look for the stone tablet over the hill.
You: (Found it. Is this the stone tablet that Professor Johnson mentioned?)
You: (There are... strange characters on the tablet.)
You: Hmm... I can't read the characters at all. I'm not sure if I copied them correctly.
You: I guess there's no use worrying about it. I'll just hand what I've copied over to Professor Johnson and ask him to look over it.
You: (Were these characters really left behind by the faeries? Did faeries really exist on this island in the past?)
You: Professor Johnson, I'm done copying.
Anderson Johnson: Thank you very much. You must be tired... doing so much for me.
You: It's okay. It's quite interesting.
You: I'm just curious. What is the meaning of these words?
Anderson Johnson: Haha, don't worry. When I'm finished decoding, I will tell you about the legends of the faeries around here.
You: Okay. It's a deal.
You: I didn't expect copying stone tablet took is so tiring... It must be hard to understand these words, right?
Anderson Johnson: No matter how hard I have to work, for my research, it's worth it.
Anderson Johnson: Oh, I haven't told you about my field of research, have I? Let's have a nice chat next time.
Anderson Johnson: Anyway, thank you for your help today.
Plane at the End of Time
It is said that there is a plane that travels to the end of time by the Seti Falls. Can you come with me to take a look?
Awards Lucky Fruit Tart x200
A plane wreckage is resting on the cliff. After years of weathering, the frame is only vaguely visible.
Anderson Johnson: There is a legend in Skadi Island. "When the Siren sings, the plane will fly again and take us to the end of time."
Anderson Johnson: In front of us is the plane that will take us to the end of time.
You: But... I don't see anything special about it?
Anderson Johnson: Do you know that recently there have been a few mysterious disappearances near Seti Falls?
Anderson Johnson: According to residents near the falls, after those people disappeared, they'd heard the mysterious singing.
Anderson Johnson: So people believe that the Siren cast a spell and took those people away in the plane.
You: (Taken away by Siren? It sounds too unreal...)
Anderson Johnson: Young lady, do you believe in the existence of the Siren?
You: I believe the Siren in the legends did indeed exist.
You: Just like when people saw dugongs, they thought they were mermaids.
You: Some mysterious creature might've been mistaken for the Siren centuries ago.
Anderson Johnson: Some legends might sound absurd, but they are based on certain facts. My research is to find out the facts.
Anderson Johnson: That's why I want to investigate this plane wreckage.
You: Well... To be honest, I don't believe there are Sirens in the world...
You: I think people made it up when they saw a phenomenon they couldn't explain.
Anderson Johnson: I get your point. After all, legends are insubstantial, and not very convincing.
Anderson Johnson: But maybe I find the legends so attractive precisely because they are vague.
Anderson Johnson: I've decided to make the Siren my next topic. I'll collect more information and see if I can find new clues.
You: Professor Johnson, can I help you with the investigation? I also want to find the truth about the Siren.
Anderson Johnson: Sure. Let's keep in touch.
Traces of the Siren
Someone said that they saw a Siren near the plane wreckage. Let's go find out what's going on.
Awards 
Stellin x20,000
Anderson Johnson: I found some new clues about the Siren!
Anderson Johnson: A woman contacted me and said she saw the Siren with her own eyes and heard the Siren's singing.
You: Wow, really?
Anderson Johnson: I contacted her but she's in shock, and wouldn't talk to a man. Can you please find out more details for me?
You: Sure. I'll go now.
Siren Eyewitness: Hello, did Professor Johnson send you?
You: Yes. I want to ask...
Siren Eyewitness: Sorry. After what happened that day... I've been so scared. Can you please stand a little further away?
You: Sure. I won't come any closer.
You: I just have a few simple questions for you. Do you mind having a chat with me?
Siren Eyewitness: Okay.
You: Can I ask what the Siren looked like?
Siren Eyewitness: She... She was translucent and very beautiful...
Siren Eyewitness: Her white dress floated around her. Then all of a sudden, she rose into the air, higher and higher...
Siren Eyewitness: Until she suddenly disappeared... I swear! I really did see her!
You: When did you see the Siren?
Siren Eyewitness: I think it was around a week ago...
Siren Eyewitness: On that day, I was planning to take pictures of the scenery around Rainbow Bridge. Suddenly, I heard singing.
Siren Eyewitness: The singing was otherworldly... It felt transient and ethereal.
You: Where was the Siren when you saw her?
Siren Eyewitness: She was on the mountain, right over by the wreckage of the plane. I remember it very clearly!
Siren Eyewitness: She even smiled at me. I was completely frozen by her smile! I could only stare at her until she disappeared.
Siren Eyewitness: You have to believe me. It's something that I'll never forget for the rest of my life. I was scared that she'll spirit me away...
You: (It seems like the Siren left a deep impression on her...)
You: Afterwards... Did you manage to see the Siren again?
Siren Eyewitness: I did! It was three days ago!
Siren Eyewitness: It was the same time in the morning... And also the same place! Right next to the plane wreckage...
You: Well, I've got the details. I'll let Professor Johnson know. Thank you for your help.
Siren Eyewitness: You are welcome... I feel much better now having spoken to you.
Siren Eyewitness: I hope it was helpful.
You: Professor Johnson, this is what I learned from that lady.
Anderson Johnson: Thank you. These are valuable clues. I think I'm starting to understand more about the Siren now!
Anderson Johnson: One day, I will catch the Siren myself and reveal the secret of the legendary Siren.
Blurry "Siren"
The Siren is here! I saw her with my own eyes! Come, she's by the Seti Falls!
Awards 
S-Chip x30
Anderson Johnson: Look, look... The Siren has appeared!
Anderson Johnson: I finally found you, mysterious Siren.
You can't believe your eyes. Vaguely you see a female figure emerging from under the cliff.
The mist from the waterfall makes her seem hazy and surreal, like a mysterious creature from another world...
You: No way. It is real...
Anderson Johnson: Following the witness's testimony, I have been waiting here for several days. Finally, I found it!
Anderson Johnson: Listen, you listen! She's singing!
Through the noise of the waterfall, a song can be heard clearly.
It is beautiful yet ethereal... and the singing is so captivating.
You: ...Is it really a Siren?
Anderson Johnson: Let's go. Let's get closer and have a look.
You: Professor Johnson, wait for me!
You: I also want to see what the legendary Siren looks like.
Anderson Johnson: What a brave young lady. I was right about you.
Anderson Johnson: Let's go. We are already very close to the truth!
You: Let's not get too close. Just in case...
Anderson Johnson: Even if it may be dangerous, I must go! I can't miss such a rare opportunity!
Anderson ignores your advice and runs straight towards the Siren.
You: Hold on... wait...
You: (I am worried... I'd better follow him and have a look.)
You: What? There is no one here...
When you and Anderson arrive, the mysterious Siren is already gone.
Anderson Johnson: How is that possible? She was just here!
You: Did she see us, so she's hiding from us?
Anderson Johnson: Impossible. In the legend, the Siren would take away anyone who comes too close. So... she should not disappear...
Anderson Johnson: She comes and goes mysteriously. There must be a reason behind it that I haven't been able to identify...
Anderson Johnson: Never mind. Let's call it a day. Let me think about this.
Truth about the Siren
The Siren is singing again! Quick, it's time to find out the truth!
Awards Evidence: "Vague Note III"
Anderson Johnson: Listen, the Siren is singing again!
You: Oh? It seems as though there's really someone singing...
Anderson Johnson: "Your light is cold yet bright... Moon, please tell me, where my lover is..."
Anderson Johnson: What a wonderful song. It must be the Siren singing!
At the same place, the mysterious figure appears in front of you again with the ethereal singing.
Anderson Johnson: Go. Let's go and have a look. This time, I won't let her run away!
You: Professor Johnson, look...
As you approach the cliff, the mysterious figure gradually becomes clear, the outline of the shadow shows.
???: Who are you?
The song stops suddenly. A female voice breaks the mysterious and romantic atmosphere.
???: You...
Anderson Johnson: Miss Siren, we've been chasing you for a long time.
???: What?
In front of you, is a very beautiful and elegant lady.
In such cold winter, she's only wearing a thin white dress, which seems strange.
From the confused look on her face, you can almost be sure that she's not the Siren people thought she is.
You: Well... This is what happened...
You told the lady about Anderson's research on the Siren and the plane wreckage.
After hearing your story, she suddenly understands everything.
???: Oh, there must have been a misunderstanding. I am not a Siren...
You: Who might you be?
???: I'm a theater actress. I'm touring Skadi Island as a part of my troupe.
You: So you were... practicing?
Opera Actor: Yeah, is there an issue?
You: These past few days, did you come here often?
Opera Actor: Not really. Before every performance, I'd come here to do some warm-up exercises. It helps me get into the right mood.
Anderson Johnson: ...
You: (This answer seems to have caused a lot of damage to Professor Johnson...)
You: Why did you purposely come here to practice your singing?
Opera Actor: Wasn't there a legend about a Siren inhabiting the Seti Falls?
Opera Actor: The repertoire that I'm performing is also related to that legend. I came here to find some inspiration.
You: (I guess everyone was drawn to this place by the legend?)
You: The dress you are wearing is quite thin. Aren't you cold?
Opera Actor: I'm playing as an unfortunate girl who is waiting by the sea every day for her lover's return.
Opera Actor: The girl's lover was taken away by a Siren while he was on a voyage. After his disappearance, the girl's heart became cold and empty.
Opera Actor: Yeah, so I wanted to experience this heart-wrenching coldness myself! I thought this was the fastest way for me to get into character.
You: (Is that so...)
Opera Actor: Do you have any more questions? If not, I will continue with my practice.
You: No, we don't. Thank you.
Anderson Johnson: I'm sorry to have interrupted you.
After saying goodbye to the opera actress, you leave the wreckage and return to the waterfall.
On the way, Professor Johnson does not say a single word. You also remain quiet. It's quite depressing.
You: Although we didn't find a real Siren, at least we found the truth behind the "Siren".
You: That's still a reward, isn't it?
Anderson Johnson: You're right. Anyway, at least we've solved the puzzle.
Anderson Johnson: Thank you for comforting me. I feel better now.
Anderson Johnson: There are still many things we can learn about the Siren, and Seti Falls, and the other legends of Skadi.
Anderson Johnson: I will continue with my field of research and keep investigating.
You: Yeah. Professor Johnson, I'm sure you'll come across great discoveries in your research!
Maybe I should give Professor Johnson some space. I'd better keep quiet.
After a long while, Professor Johnson lets out a long sigh and finally speaks.
Anderson Johnson: Well... I got it. Although this whole thing was just a beautiful misunderstanding from the very beginning...
Anderson Johnson: There are still many things we can learn about the Siren, and Seti Falls, and the other legends of Skadi.
Anderson Johnson: I will continue with my research.
You: Yes. Professor Johnson, I'm glad you said that. To be honest, I was a little worried about you.
Anderson Johnson: Haha, it's okay. It's a research. It's normal to get results that are different from my expectations.
Anderson Johnson: Speaking of which... I wanted to ask you, are you still investigating the Manor of Hermes?
You: Huh?! How did you know?
Anderson Johnson: Johann told me about it. We've known each other for a long time.
Anderson Johnson: I have something for you. I hope it'll be helpful to you.
Professor Johnson takes a plastic bag out of his pocket, in which there's a piece of yellowish paper.
Anderson Johnson: When I explored the Manor of Hermes, I found a note with numbers in a bedroom on the third floor.
Anderson Johnson: This may be a password for something. Take it, it might help you find some new clues.
You: Thank you, professor Johnson. I will make good use of it.
Anderson Johnson: You are welcome. You've helped me so much. I don't know how to thank you. So... this is to show my gratitude.
Brindisi Lloyd
Brindisi Lloyd owns a handicrafts shop in Vikya. Her Reputation track awards the Evidence: "Vague Note I."
Public Bench Cleaning Job
The benches in the square look dirty. It'd be nice if someone can go and clean it.
You: (The back of this bench is so dirty...is this filth?!)
You: (It really needs a good clean...)
You take out the rag and detergent you've prepared and start cleaning.
You: (Fortunately, it is not too dirty. It shouldn't be too hard to clean?)
You: (This here needs some cleaning too...)
After rounds of cleaning, the filth is finally gone and you can see the original color of the benches in the square.
You: (Well, it looks much cleaner now.)
Brindisi Lloyd: Thanks for your help, the benches in the square are finally clean.
You: You're welcome. I didn't do much.
Brindisi Lloyd: You're so nice. If everyone is as kind and gentle as you are, Skadi Island would be the most beautiful place.
You: I think it's still not clean enough. I'll come and clean it again when I have a chance next time.
Brindisi Lloyd: Oh, such a diligent girl.
Inconvenient Trash
Sigh, why are there always people littering in the square? Can someone do something about it?!
You: Cigarettes, paper, bottles... who left the rubbish here... Such uncivilized behaviors.
The floor that was once clean, is now completely littered with rubbish, like a terrible practical joke.
???: Such uncivilized behaviors!
A female voice echoes your thoughts. You turn around to see Brindisi, the owner of the handcraft shop, frowning.
Brindisi Lloyd: There's been a lot of people littering in the square lately. Even my customers are complaining about it now.
Having to face the heap of rubbish every day, Brindisi's voice is full of discontent.
You: How about I... help you clean up?
Suddenly, a flattened can fly over from nowhere and almost hits Brindisi.
Brindisi Lloyd: Who was that? Littering again!
From the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of a young man passing behind you.
You: I think I found the one responsible for the littering!
You: Hey you, stop! Please pick up the can you just dropped!
Littering Youth: What's the big deal? It's just a can. What are you trying to do? Watch your attitude!
You: Your uncivilized behavior has affected the image of Skadi Island. We all have the responsibility to stop you!
Littering Youth: Who are you? What makes you think you can say that?
You: I'm just a lawyer who happens to be here!
[Debate]
Brindisi Lloyd: Phew... Thank you so much. Luckily, you were here. If it was me, I wouldn't know what to say.
You: You're welcome. If I see people like that next time, I'll let them get a taste of my iron fist of justice!
Littering Youth: Don't you have anything to say? Get lost! Stop bothering people with trivial matters.
You: (Humph, don't get cocky so soon! I'm sure I'll find a better argument next time!)
Seashell Wind Chimes
I would like to make Seashell Wind Chimes. Can you go to the Night Beach and help me collect some seashells?
Brindisi Lloyd: What should I do... It's really annoying...
You: What's the matter? Are you in trouble?
Brindisi Lloyd: I want to make a shell wind chime for my daughter. But... I'm too busy lately to collect shells.
Brindisi Lloyd: If you have time, can you go to the Night Beach and bring some nice shells back for me?
You: Sure. I'll go now.
At Night Beach
You: (Well, let me see where the shells are...)
You: Found it! There are lots of shells here! This one looks like a five-pointed star... Is it a starfish?
You: (Ooh... There're also hermit crabs!)
You: (Is it digging up sand? If I can find a bottle, I can bring it back with me and keep it as a pet...)
You: (Nevermind, I'm not sure if I can care for it. It's already difficult enough bringing it back with me.)
You: (Well... No need to think too much, just pick up more nice shells as souvenirs.)
At Vikya
Brindisi Lloyd: Did you get any nice shells?
You: I chose these shells specifically. Here you are.
Brindisi Lloyd: They're beautiful, shiny like gems. I've never seen such beautiful shells.
Brindisi Lloyd: Unfortunately... They're not enough for making wind chimes...
You: I'll pick up more for you next time.
Brindisi Lloyd: Thank you. A nice girl like you will be blessed by the faeries.
You: I collected lots of shells. Here you are.
Brindisi Lloyd: So many of them. Great! I can start making shell wind chime now.
Anderson Johnson: My daughter will be very happy. Thank you.
You: You're welcome. It's not a big deal.
Missing Ball of Yarn
Can you go to Muller's Ranch and help me bring back some balls of yarn?
Brindisi Lloyd: Oh... I've ran out of yarn again.
You: Is there something troubling you?
Brindisi Lloyd: I received a big order, but I was so busy working I didn't realize I was running out of yarn.
Brindisi Lloyd: But my client needs it urgently. I have to keep working, otherwise, I won't be able to catch the deadline...
You: That really is a big problem...
Brindisi Lloyd: If you have time, can you please go to Muller's Ranch and bring me some balls of yarn?
You: Sure. I'll go now. How much do you need?
Brindisi Lloyd: I'll send the order directly to Muller. You just need to go and collect it for me, thank you.
You: Oh? Do they sell yarn at the ranch?
Brindisi Lloyd: Muller's wool is the best on the island. To ensure high quality production, they even have their own textile business.
Brindisi Lloyd: I usually purchase my yarn from them.
You: I see... Okay, I'll go right after.
Brindisi Lloyd: I'll send the order directly to Muller. You just need to go and collect it for me, thank you.
At Muller's Ranch
You: Hello, I am here to fetch the yarn for Ms. Brindisi Lloyd.
Muller Connors: Her order is ready... But these reels weigh more than twenty kilograms. Are you sure you can handle it?
You: That's alright. I hired a car. Just put it in the trunk, please.
Muller Connors: All right. I'll help you with it!
You: It's too heavy. I don't think I can carry it...
Muller Connors: I thought so. I'll hire a car for you. You can go back by car.
You: Thank you, Mr. Connors. Much appreciated.
You: (Mr. Connors is such a nice guy.)
At Vikya
You: I got it. Please have a look if this is what you want.
Brindisi Lloyd: Yes. That's all. I am so relieved.
Brindisi Lloyd: Thank you. I'm so lucky to have met someone as kind and helpful as you are.
Gift for Faeries
Sorry to bother you, but can you go to Faerie Town and give the faeries a thank-you gift on my behalf?
Brindisi Lloyd: Sigh... Business has actually been too good recently... It's worrisome.
You: Shouldn't you be happy that business is good?
Brindisi Lloyd: I had prayed to the faeries for their blessing to increase my shop's business.
Brindisi Lloyd: But now it's so good that I can't find time to thank them and send them a gift of gratitude...
You: Don't worry, I'll send it for you. I was wanting to visit Faerie Town today.
Brindisi Lloyd: Really? That would be great. Please help me put this gift in front of the faerie cottages.
Brindisi Lloyd: I hope that the faeries can feel my sincerity.
You: I was planning to go to Night Beach later... I don't think I can help you out...
Brindisi Lloyd: Oh, what a pickle.
Brindisi Lloyd: The faeries answered my prayers, so I must offer my sincerity immediately. This is the pact between the faeries and the residents of this island.
Brindisi Lloyd: If I break this pact, the faeries may not give me their blessings anymore. What should I do...
You: Agh... Fine, I'll deliver it for you now.
Brindisi Lloyd: Thank you! You must be an envoy that the faeries sent to help me. Please leave this in front of the faerie cottages for me.
At the Faerie Forest
You: (So many faerie cottages... Did the islanders build all these for the faeries?)
You: (Leaving the gift here should be fine, right?)
You: (Huh, there's a wooden sign on the cottage? What does it say?)
You: "I hope my handmade textiles will be liked by everyone, and that my daughter and I will live blessed lives. Brindisi..."
You: (So that was her wish.)
At Vikya
You: I left your gift by the faerie cottages. I'm sure the faeries can feel your sincerity.
Brindisi Lloyd: Truly, thank you so much for being here and helping me out. I can finally be at ease.
Careless Child
Can you find out who is it that carelessly lost their puffin doll?
Awards Lucky Fruit Tart x200
You: (Is this... a toy puffin?)
You: (It feels so real, just like a real puffin.)
You: (but who left this doll here?)
Brindisi Lloyd: Does this puffin doll belong to you?
You: No, it doesn't...
Brindisi Lloyd: Oh... Poor thing, where is your owner?
You: Has no one come to claim it?
Brindisi Lloyd: Yes. I've been here since the morning. No one ever came.
Brindisi Lloyd: Can you ask around for me? Maybe some kid dropped it here.
You: Ok... I'll ask around.
You: Kid, have you lost a doll?
Little Girl: Missy, what are you talking about?
You: Nothing. Nothing. I think I made a mistake.
You: (I don’t think this is the kid. Let me ask someone else.)
Boy: Waaa...Wooo...
You: Don't cry little boy. What's wrong?
Boy: I lost my toy... Woo woo
You: Is this your puffin?
Boy: No! Who would want this silly-looking puffin, waaa...
You: (So mean!! He seems very emotional at the moment. I'd better... let him be...)
You: (Well, it's not his either... Then whose is this?)
Anxious Woman: Excuse me, where did you get this puffin doll in your hand?
You: I just found it near the square.
Anxious Woman: Thanks to the faeries. I finally found it!
Anxious Woman: I bought this puffin doll as a birthday present for my daughter. I was so absentminded that I left it...
You: Here you go. Please take good care of it.
Anxious Woman: Thank you. If I couldn't find it, my daughter will be very upset.
You: You're welcome. Happy birthday to your daughter.
Anxious Woman: Thank you. May the faeries bless you.
Church Prayers
It's the Faerie Prayer Day today. Come with me to the Church of the Divine Faerie.
Awards Stellin x20,000
You: There are many people in the streets today. Are they all going to attend the event at the Saint Faerie Church?
Brindisi Lloyd: Yes. In the legend of Skadi, if you make a wish to the faeries today, you will be heard by the faeries.
Since you helped Brindisi find the owner of the puffin toy last time, you two became very close.
You often visit her shop, and occasionally offer your help. Gradually, the two of you became friends.
You: Ms. Lloyd, did you make a wish to the faeries?
Brindisi Lloyd: Well, I hope the faeries can bless my daughter to be safe and happy.
You: I don't think I've seen your daughter come to the handicraft shop...
Brindisi Lloyd: My daughter is not on Skadi Island. When she was three, she went to Florence with her father.
You: Oh?
Brindisi Lloyd: He's an engineer in Florence. We think she can get a better education there. So she lives there with her dad.
Brindisi Lloyd: I wanted to go with them. But I couldn't leave my handcraft shop behind... so I stayed.
You: Ms. Lloyd, you must miss them very much, don't you?
Brindisi Lloyd: Well, I'm okay. We make phone calls and video calls all the time.
Regardless of what she says, there's sadness in her eyes. You suddenly get an idea.
You: Why don't you send a gift to your family?
You: It doesn't matter what gift it is. It's the thought that counts, right?
Brindisi Lloyd: That's a good idea. Thank you!
Brindisi Lloyd: Well, that's the plan. Now I have to think of a gift...
You: If you have time, you should visit them in Florence.
Brindisi Lloyd: Well, I've always wanted to go... It's just that the handcraft shop is very busy. I don’t have time to spare.
Brindisi Lloyd: Well... I guess I'll just send them something. I hope they'll feel my thoughts...
Family Gifts
If you're free, can you help me mail a gift to my daughter at the post office?
Awards S-Chip x30
Brindisi Lloyd: Oh... That's not good.
You: What's up?
Brindisi Lloyd: Didn't I say I was going to prepare some gifts for my family last time?
Brindisi Lloyd: I made an appointment to have the gift picked up. But just now an important client placed an order...
Brindisi Lloyd: So now, I don't have time to go to the post office today...
You: Don't worry. I can send it for you.
Brindisi Lloyd: Really? Thank you so much!
You: Excuse me, are you going to the post office in front of the central business district?
Brindisi Lloyd: No, it's not that one. I've made an appointment with a company that specializes in express air mail.
Brindisi Lloyd: Oh, that's right... I can send the address to your phone... Please follow this address.
You: Sure. No problem.
You: How much is the postage? Do you need me to pay for it?
Brindisi Lloyd: I've already paid for the postage in advance. There should be no extra costs.
Brindisi Lloyd: But if there happen to be extra costs... Would you be able to cover them for me?
You: No problem, leave it to me.
You: Wow... This is pretty heavy. Do you mind if I ask what's in it?
Brindisi Lloyd: I've packed enough clothes and shoes to last for three months, sweets my daughter likes, and some books...
Brindisi Lloyd: Ah, I mean it's nothing much. I actually wanted to send more, but unfortunately, the extra items couldn't fit.
You: (But you've already packed a lot of stuff in!!)
You: I'm going to the post office now.
Brindisi Lloyd: Thank you so much. You are always helping me.
You: It's fine. I am not busy right now.
You: Excuse me, I need to send a delivery.
Mailman: Do you have an appointment?
You: Yes. the name of the appointment is Brindisi Lloyd.
Mailman: Just a moment. Let me check...
Mailman: ...
Mailman: Madam, please leave the package at the counter.
You: Okay. Thank you.
You: (I think that's it?)
You: (I hope this package can be safely delivered to Brindisi's family.)
A Daughter's Return Gift
I have a favor to ask of you. If you're free, please come by the textile store.
Awards Evidence: "Vague Note I"
You: Ms. Lloyd, are you looking for me?
Brindisi Lloyd: Sorry. I suddenly remember that last time I forgot to buy the puffin doll which is my daughter's favorite.
Brindisi Lloyd: But I've been too busy recently. Can you go to the mall and buy one for me?
You: Sure. I'm happy to help.
You: What kind of puffin doll were you thinking about?
Brindisi Lloyd: Do you remember the puffin doll that was left behind in the square before?
Brindisi Lloyd: Something like that should be fine. It's better if it's on the small side.
You: Where is the mall that you were speaking of?
Brindisi Lloyd: It's the mall on the easternmost side of the Vikya Capital business district.
Brindisi Lloyd: There's a doll shop on the first floor of the mall. Could I trouble you to go there and have a look?
You: Does your daughter like puffins?
Brindisi Lloyd: Yes. She's liked puffins since she was a child.
Brindisi Lloyd: Back when she was a baby, I brought her on a tour of the Sakya Fjord. She was very happy when she saw the puffins.
Brindisi Lloyd: Sorry to trouble you again.
You: It's fine. I also want to check out the mall. See you later, Ms. Lloyd.
Very soon, you find the toys shop Brindisi mentioned and buy the doll she asked for.
When you return to the handicraft shop, Brindisi seems to have just finished her work.
You: Here... This is the puffin doll you want.
Brindisi Lloyd: Thank you very much. I've troubled you too much... It must have taken up a lot of your time!
You: It's fine. I am on Skadi Island to do an investigation for a friend. I am usually not very busy.
Brindisi Lloyd: You came to our island to investigate?
You: Actually I...
You tell Brindisi the reason you came to Skadi Island. After hearing your story, her look becomes complicated.
Brindisi Lloyd: You are investigating the Manor of Hermes. What a coincidence, I happen to have something that might help you.
From among the balls of wool in her desk, Brindisi takes out an envelope and gives it to you.
Inside the envelope is a thin piece of yellowish paper. There's nothing on it except for some numbers.
You: What is it?
Brindisi Lloyd: Years ago, some foreign scholars who explored the Manor of Hermes came here to buy souvenirs before they left.
Brindisi Lloyd: One of them left this envelope in my shop.
Brindisi Lloyd: I heard they got it from a room on the first floor of the manor. It has a code to some kind of treasure on it.
Brindisi Lloyd: Anyway, I haven't been there myself. I'll give it to you if you find it useful.
You: Thank you. I'll take it then.
Brindisi Lloyd: You're welcome. You've helped me so much, and I don't know how to thank you. I hope this note helps.

Forgotten Feed
I wanted to go give the puffins some food, but I forgot to bring the feed. Sigh... can you go help me buy some?
A group of puffins rests on the rocks of Sakya Fjord.
You: So many puffins!
They don't seem to be afraid of people. Even when you get close to them, they just look at you curiously.
You: They're so cute. I wish I could touch them.
???: Sigh...
You turn around and see an old gentleman standing on the cliff looking upset.
You: Mister, why are you standing here alone looking disappointed?
Hanson Walker: I was going to feed the puffins. But I forgot to bring the bird feed.
Hanson Walker: Oh, I'm such a useless old man. Young lady, can you please buy some seeds for me?
You: Sir, do you know where we can buy the feed from? We can help you.
Hanson Walker: It's not too far from here. You can get it from Muller's Ranch across the road. Would it be okay if I troubled you?
You: It's fine. I also wanted to pet the puffins.
You: Are we allowed to feed the birds? I remember that people are forbidden from getting too close to the animals.
Hanson Walker: Wild birds will avoid people. The puffins on this side of the fjord are bred by the owners of Muller's Ranch.
Hanson Walker: So they are used to people. If you bring bird feed to them, they'll come walking towards you.
Hanson Walker: My granddaughter really liked playing with those puffins when she was young.
You: Sir, is feeding the puffins one of your hobbies?
Hanson Walker: Not quite... I walk around the island whenever I have spare time.
Hanson Walker: I'm old now... If I stay in the same place for too long, I can't help but think of things that happened in the past.
Hanson Walker: And there are some things that I'd rather not think about...
You: Mister, wait for me here. I'll go buy some for you.
Hanson Walker: Well, thank you, young lady.
You: Hello, I would like to buy some bird food for the puffins.
Muller Connors: Did Hanson send you? Every time he goes to feed the puffins, he forgets to bring the bird food.
Muller Connors: Before, his granddaughter would always come. But now... oh I'd better not talk about this.
Muller Connors: Here, this is your bird food.
You: Thank you.
You: (So the old man is a regular customer, but why did he hesitate when he mentions the granddaughter?)
You: (Never mind. I'd better not pry into other people's private affairs.)
Hanson Walker: Young lady, you are back.
You: Well, I've got the feed. How do you want to feed them, mister?
Hanson Walker: Just scatter the feed around the mountain, and the puffins will gather around later.
You: They're coming! They are eating the bird food!
You: Aww, they're so cute when they are pecking, and their round heads.
Hanson Walker: You should come more often. When they know you better, they'd play with you.
You: Sure. I'll buy two portions of bird food next time!
Trash Disposal Job
Sigh, why are there always people littering on the beach? Is someone willing to come and help clean up?
Hanson Walker: People these days are so disgusting, throwing everything on the beach!
Hanson Walker: Soon the faeries will get provoked and bring forth a punishment like before. We'll see what they do then!
You: Mister, what were you talking about? What punishment?
Hanson Walker: Oh, it's nothing... It's all in the past. If you have time, can you help me clean up the litter on the beach?
Hanson Walker: I can't stand seeing such a beautiful place get so filthy because of the trash.
You: No problem. I can clean it up by myself!
You: Mister, take a rest. I promise you I'll give you a clean beach.
Hanson Walker: Haha, young lady, you are so energetic. I also want to stretch my limbs, let's go together.
You: Sure, Mister, I'll help you clean up!
You: I'm sure this will soon go back to being a clean and tidy beach.
Hanson Walker: With your help, this would be much easier for an old man like me. Come on, let's get started.
You: (There really are a lot of rubbish... Some look very fresh. Maybe they were left by tourists by accident.)
You: (It might seem convenient to litter casually, but it really creates a lot of problems for the locals... )
Hanson Walker: Phew, I'm already tired after picking up a few plastic bottles.
You: Mister, you should have a rest.
Hanson Walker: I'm really getting old... When I was young, I was the boxing champion of this island!
You: Wow... Really?
Hanson Walker: Yes. Don't you believe me? Next time I'll show you my medals!
You: Sure. I'll have a look next time. Now please take a break. I'll take care of the rest.
Hanson Walker: The beach is much cleaner now. Thank you, young lady.
You: You're welcome. It's my duty.
You: Seeing such a clean and beautiful beach makes me so happy.
Hanson Walker: If only there were more people like you in the world.
An Elder and a Letter
Young lady, can you go and help me mail a letter to my granddaughter?
Hanson Walker: The wind is so wonderful, the faeries are dancing around you, praising you.
Hanson Walker: Those were the good days... The faeries also...
You: Mister, are you reading a poem?
Hanson Walker: No. I'm just talking to myself.
You: Mister, are you talking to the faeries?
Hanson Walker: If the faeries would see me, I'd really want to chat with them. Unfortunately... I'm just talking to myself.
Hanson Walker: I miss my granddaughter... She left me and went somewhere far away on her own.
Hanson Walker: Every time I think of her, I'd come here...
Hanson Walker: By the way, I have a letter here I want to send to my granddaughter. But I'm quite tired today...
Hanson Walker: Young lady, can you please send this letter for me?
You: Sure.
You: Sir, can you tell me where the closest post office is?
Hanson Walker: There's a relatively big post office on Skadi Island. It's in the business district in Vikya Capital.
Hanson Walker: I usually go there. You just need to help me put this letter into the mailbox.
You: Okay. I got it.
You: The stamp looks quite unique. Is it... a faerie?
Hanson Walker: This is a special commemorative stamp issued by Skadi Island. If I remember correctly... There are five or six different ones.
Hanson Walker: If you are interested, why don't you visit the souvenir shop in Vikya Capital? Who knows, they may have it.
You: Is that so... I'll take a look later on.
You: By the way, where is the souvenir shop that you mentioned?
Hanson Walker: It's next to the hand-made textiles shop in the business district. It's a popular tourist location.
You: That sounds neat. I'll check it out when I have the time.
You: In this letter, you must've written down many things that you wanted to say to your granddaughter, right?
Hanson Walker: Yes. I usually write down whatever I can think of. Sometimes, I can fill several pieces of paper.
Hanson Walker: Sigh. I'm too old for smartphones and computers. I always feel that a handwritten letter is the best way to express my feelings.
Hanson Walker: Young lady, do you have any other questions?
You: No, mister. I'll send the letter for you.
Hanson Walker: Thank you. I hope it's not too much trouble for you.
At Vikya
You: (Found it. This is the red mailbox.)
You: (I've stuffed the letter in... Is that all?)
You: (I don't know when this letter will reach the recipient... I hope it's delivered safely.)
You: (Next... Well... I should go back and inform the old gentleman. I shouldn't keep him waiting.)
At Night Beach
You: Mister, I've sent out the letter.
Hanson Walker: Thank you, good girl. I've prepared some gifts for you to show my gratitude.
Hanson Walker: Ah, I hope my granddaughter will get the letter soon.
Brown Trout Challenge
Anyone want to come and try to fish for Brown Trout with me?
Hanson Walker: Young lady, are you here to travel?
You: Well, I've taken some pictures of the scenery. I'm going to visit some other places.
Hanson Walker: Have you ever been to Sakya Fjord?
Hanson Walker: It's very beautiful there. If you go now, you'll be able to catch some brown trout.
Hanson Walker: When I went to Saca Bay the other day, I saw a young man catch a trout half as big as a man.
You: I didn't know brown trout can get that big!
Hanson Walker: That's nothing. I caught even bigger ones when I was young. Shall we have a competition?
You: Yeah, it sounds fun.
You: Can I fish too?
Hanson Walker: Of course, many people come to Saca Bay to fish every winter! Come on, I'll show you.
You: Great. I really want to try!
Invited by the old gentleman, you take a bus to Sakya Fjord together, looking for brown trout in the streams.
You: The water in the Sakya Fjord is so clear, even the small stones on the river bed can be seen clearly!
You: A fish has taken my bait!
Hanson Walker: Shh, young lady, be quiet... Be patient. You see, didn't I just catch one?
You: Okay, okay.
Hanson Walker: Come on now, that's the time. Lift the rod!
You: Good!
A huge golden trout jumps out from the water, creating a beautiful arc along the fishing rod.
Hanson Walker: Not bad, young lady. You're gifted.
You: I have a friend who is good at fishing, so... I've learned something from him.
Hanson Walker: Haha, I'm so happy today. I haven't been so happy for a long time.
Hanson Walker: Too bad that it's getting late. I should go.
You: Mister, I'll give you a ride? We can talk more about fishing techniques on the way.
Hanson Walker: Well, you're an interesting young lady.
You accompany the old gentleman back to the Night Beach.
You talk about fishing all the way, you can tell that the old gentleman is a big fan of fishing.
Hanson Walker: Just drop me off here, please. I know the way. Don't worry about me, young lady. You should go home to rest.
You: Well, goodbye, Mister. Next time we'll go fishing together again!
Photo Request
Can you take a picture for me? I want to send it to my granddaughter.
Hanson Walker: Young lady, I want to take a picture and send it to my granddaughter. Can you take one for me?
You: Sure, Mister. Where would you like to take the photo?
Hanson Walker: I don't know... Well... I want to be seen as energetic.
You: Let's walk around and take more photos.
You: (Well, let's see where we should take the photos...)
You: The seaside scenery is good. Mister, would you like to take one here?
Hanson Walker: Sure, just take some pictures for me. Remember to include the rocks behind me.
You: Okay. Are you ready? Please stand back...
You: Is this the source of the black sand on Night Beach?
You: Black sand with blue sky, magnificent yet surreal. Shall we take a picture here?
Hanson Walker: Sure, here is good. Remember to include the beach behind me.
You: No problem. I'm ready. Now, smile, cheese!
You: Um... Those birds look so energetic. Shall we take pictures here?
Hanson Walker: Great. My granddaughter loves these seabirds.
Hanson Walker: If she sees the picture, she'll be very happy.
You: It's done. Mister, have a look and see if you like it.
Hanson Walker: I like it very much. You've taken some nice photos for me. Thank you, young lady.
Hanson Walker: I'll send the photos to my granddaughter tomorrow.
Legend of the Beach
Have you heard of the legend of the Night Beach? If you're free, come by and I'll tell you all about it.
Awards Lucky Fruit Tart x200
You: Mister, you are always standing alone by the sea... Are you enjoying the view?
Hanson Walker: I'm observing the demons.
You: Oh?
Hanson Walker: Haven't you heard of the legend of Night Beach? Are you interested?
You: Sure, mister. Please tell me the legend.
Hanson Walker: Centuries ago, this was a golden beach. One day, demons from under the sea came and attacked people.
Hanson Walker: Then, a great wizard came forward and beat the demons back to the bottom of the sea.
Hanson Walker: The wizard cast a spell, turning the entire beach black, the color that the demons hate.
Hanson Walker: Ever since then, the demons do not dare to come to Skadi Island ever again.
You: (Hmm? Why is this different from the version I know.)
You: You mean the legend of the battle between faeries and demons on Night Beach? I've seen it in the books...
You: Sorry. I have something else to do... Maybe next time.
Hanson Walker: No! Actually a wizard cast a spell and turned the beach black which is the color the demons hate.
Hanson Walker: Ever since then, the demons do not dare to come to Skadi Island.
You: Eh? Really...
You: According to the information about Skadi, there's been a fight between faeries and demons...
You: The black sand and reefs are the remains of demons.
Hanson Walker: No. The demons didn't die. They are still wandering in the sea. They'd never left!
Hanson Walker: Wait and see. I will find the demon!
You: Okay...
You: (The things this old gentleman said sounded very weird... I think there's something wrong...)
Mysterious Troll
A troll has appeared! Come quickly! Come and see it for yourself!
Awards Stellin x20,000
Hanson Walker: The monsters are here! Young lady, have a look, everything I said is true!
You: Where are they?
Hanson Walker: Look at the massive shadows standing in the sea!
In the direction of the old gentleman's finger, is a large reef on the coastline...
You: Isn't that just a normal reef?
Hanson Walker: Young Lady, look carefully. This is not an ordinary reef. It's a monster's head sticking out from the sea.
Hanson Walker: Look, how dangerous it is! He's right there staring at the beach and he may wake up any minute.
You: (Mister, are you serious...)
You: Mister... No matter how carefully I look, it's just an ordinary reef.
Hanson Walker: Humph, believe it or not. One day, the monsters will come back. Then you will believe my warning!
You: You are kidding, aren't you?
Hanson Walker: Who's kidding? I'm talking about something serious!
You: (This old man is really...)
Hanson Walker: Now, the only way to save Skadi Island is to find the wizard who cast the sealing spell!
You: ...
You: (It's strange that he's so insistent that there are demons and wizards in the world...)
You: I believe you, I do! Your warning is well received!
You: From now on, I will monitor the monsters all the time in case they'll make a comeback.
Hanson Walker: Yeah. That's the right thing to do! Skadi Island relies on our protection!
Hanson Walker: Young lady, follow me, and let's find the wizard.
You: (Sigh, I've got no choice... As long as he's happy.)
You: (Why is he so insistent about the demons... I don't understand.)
Legacy Magic
Let's make a deal. Help me feed the sea birds and I'll tell you how to stop the troll.
Awards S-Chip x30
Hanson Walker: Young lady, I've found a way to stop the demons from coming back!
You: What is it?
Hanson Walker: Do you want to know? Help me feed those Arctic terns first and I'll tell you.
Hanson Walker: Those terns are always hungry. They are chirping all the time and disturbing my speeches.
You: Sure...
You: (Found them. The Arctic terns have all landed on the beach. Are they resting?)
You: Come, I've got some food for you to eat.
The terns seem to understand your words and gather around you. Their round heads start pecking at the feed in your hand.
You: Don't fight, there's enough for everyone.
They quickly eat up all the feed until not a single bit remains.
You: Mister, the Arctic terns are fed.
You: Now can you tell me what method you were talking about?
Hanson Walker: There is only one way. We must find the treasure left by the wizard!
You: Eh?
Hanson Walker: I dreamt about the magician last night. He told me the secret of the treasure and said I am his successor!
You: (Eh... Mister, can you not make up random stories about yourself?)
Secret of the Treasure Chest
The magician's treasure chest is buried under the sand somewhere on the beach. Why don't you go and dig it up?
Awards Evidence: "Vague Note II"
Hanson Walker: Last night I dreamed of the magician again, and he told me that his treasure was hidden on Night Beach.
Hanson Walker: Young lady, now it's up to you to find it!
You: Eh? How do I find it?
Hanson Walker: By the traces. A sacred treasure chest must have left behind some signs. Watch the beach, you'll find it!
You: This pile of stones looks similar to the reef over there. Are they related?
You: Sigh... What was I thinking? It's probably something a tourist built to pass time.
You: I was also brought to this place by that old man...
You: This is way too difficult. The beach is so big and there's not even a single trace.
You: Are we really looking for a treasure chest? Something feels a bit off...
You: Mister, I've checked carefully. There is nothing on the beach.
Hanson Walker: Sigh... Fine. I guess I have to give you some hints.
Hanson Walker: Come with me!
You: (Why is he being so mysterious...)
Hanson Walker: Look, isn't the treasure here?
You: How can this be...
A rusty iron box suddenly appears on the beach. However, you don't remember the box being here when you passed by a moment ago.
Hanson Walker: This is the magic power of the wizard.
Hanson Walker: Now, it's time for you to open the treasure chest and see the gifts of the wizard!
Following the old man's words, you slowly open the rusty iron chest. The secret inside the box is exposed.
You: It's... a letter?
You skeptically take the yellowish envelope out of the iron chest and examine it carefully.
There are only a few words on the envelope - "For the brave."
The paper's very old but the handwriting's new and messy. You can tell it was written in a hurry not long ago.
Seeing those words, you turn to look at the old man next to you. He avoids your gaze suspiciously.
Hanson Walker: Hey, why are you looking at me?
Suddenly, you understand everything.
You: Mister, did you write this letter yourself?
Hanson Walker: It wasn't me. It's left for us by the wizard.
You: The handwriting looks very new. It doesn't look like something left from hundreds of years ago.
You: And... Your expression has betrayed you.
Hanson Walker: Ah... What a clever young lady...
Hanson Walker: Fine, to tell you the truth, I wrote this letter myself... I'm just bored. I wanted someone to chat with.
Hanson Walker: My granddaughter used to keep me company. Then she went abroad to study and I don’t have anyone to talk to.
Hanson Walker: You look about the same age as my granddaughter, so I thought I'd have a chat with you. I'm sorry...
You: Mister...
He wanted someone to talk to because he's lonely. He told me the demon story to raise my curiosity.
You: Mister, I can continue to look for the demons with you. Maybe we can find some secrets.
Hanson Walker: Thank you. You are very kind. I'm already happy that you are willing to chat with me for so long.
Hanson Walker: Although there are no demons, there's a small secret in this letter. Please open it.
You open the envelope. Inside is a piece of paper even older than the envelope, with a few numbers on it.
You: This is...?
Hanson Walker: I heard you're investigating that mysterious manor? I found this letter on the second floor of the manor.
You: Have you ever been to the Manor of Hermes?
Hanson Walker: I went there once when I was young. It's hard to describe the feeling.
Hanson Walker: I'll give you this paper. Maybe it can help you find the secrets of the manor.
You: Thank you, Mister.
Hanson Walker: You're welcome. I should thank you for spending so much time with me. Talking to you makes me feel young.
Hanson Walker: Come and chat with me when you have time.
You: Sure, I will.

I hear that the Arctic Fox has been active around the fjord. Can you take a picture for me if you see it?
You: There seem to be some weird footprints here...
You follow the footprints and see a white, furry creature scanning its surroundings with its round eyes. You: (Found them! Arctic foxes are so cute!)
You: (I really want to get closer, just a little...)
You: (They're splashing water with their paws... Are they playing?)
You: (They're too cute! Gotta take more pics!)
Muller Connors: Young miss, were you just taking pictures of the arctic foxes by the cliff? Can you show me your photos?
You: Sure. I took some high-quality close-ups!
Muller Connors: Not bad, not bad. Pretty impressive of you to take such close shots.
You: I only took some from a distance. I was going to get closer for a clearer shot, but they ran away as soon as they saw me...
You: Foxes sure are quick.
Muller Connors: Some foxes are a bit distant, but these photos are still pretty nice.
Muller Connors: Come by more often and you'll definitely get the pictures you want.
Eider Egg Guardian
I've been seeing someone suspiciously hanging around the Eiders' nest. I'm worried...
You: (Is it the Eiders' nest?)
You: (They cover their nests with thick down feathers... It must be very warm.)
You: What? Someone is over there...
You catch the glimpse of someone sneaking and hiding in the grass...
He fiddles with the feather in the grass, and from time to time he puts some blue eggs into his pocket.
You: (He's stealing the eggs!)
You: Please return all the eggs that you've stolen!
Thieving Youth: Stolen, what are you talking about... I didn't steal anything?
You: The one in your hand, and those ones in your bag... Didn't you steal all these eggs?
Thieving Youth: Nonsense. This is an egg I cooked in the morning!
You: ...They are clearly duck eggs.
Thieving Youth: Yeah, they are the duck eggs I cooked this morning!
You: ...I just saw you with my own eyes. Stop lying!
[Debate]
You: Mr. Connors, here's all the Eiders' eggs he stole.
Muller Connors: We are so lucky to have you here today. Otherwise, it'd be a serious loss for our ranch.
Muller Connors: I am handing this thief over to the police today. People like him deserve to be punished, humph!
You: (Well, I'll let him repent to the police.)
Thieving Youth: Humph, are trying to provoke me? Naïve young lady!
You: (Calm down, calm down. Let me think... I'm sure I can come up with a good reason to refute him!)
Faerie House Repair Job
I promised a friend that I'd help repair the Faerie Huts, but I'm running low on paint. What am I to do?
You: These little faerie huts look like miniature villas.
You: They even have carved patterns on their windows? So exquisite...
???: Well, that'll be hard...
As you inspect the faerie huts, someone lets out a sigh behind you. You turn around and see a man frowning.
You: What seems to be troubling you?
Muller Connors: I am here to help my friend repair the faerie huts, but I'm running out of paint.
Muller Connors: Young lady, can you please find my wife at the Muller's Ranch and ask her for some paints?
You: Sure.
You: How many buckets of paint do you need, Mr. Connors?
Muller Connors: Hmm... I think we'll need 3 or 4 buckets.
Muller Connors: My friend has a car, he can give you a ride to the farm later. If it's convenient for you, it would be good if you can bring back a few buckets of paint.
You: Sure. No problem.
You: Mr. Connors, which colors do you want?
Muller Connors: I need red, yellow and green. If it's convenient for you, you can bring over other colors as well.
You: Okay. I got it.
You: Are you responsible for maintaining these huts?
Muller Connors: No. The people from Faerie Town will regularly check up on how the huts are doing, and they'll arrange for someone to repair them.
Muller Connors: My friend is responsible for painting the huts. I help him out occasionally.
You: Is it a lot of work maintaining the huts?
Muller Connors: It's not that bad. I help my friend with this every year, so I'm used to it now.
Muller Connors: It's nothing more than repainting, and repairing damaged parts... This kind of work takes patience.
You: (Uncle Muller looks fierce on the outside, so I didn't expect him to be such a warmhearted person.)
You: Okay. I'll go now.
Muller Connors: Okay. I'll wait for you here. Thank you.
You visit the lady at Muller's Ranch in Sakya Fjord. She's very kind and prepares the paint for you.
You soon return to Faerie Town with the supplies Muller needs.
You: Here is your paint.
Muller Connors: Well, I can finally start... Well, no, I mean, I can finally continue!
You: (Look at him. He hasn't started, has he?! I shouldn't expose him, I suppose...)
Order Confirmation Job
Hmm, something seems to be wrong with the orders today. Can someone go and check it for me?
Muller Connors: Young miss, do you have time to do me a favor?
You: What's up?
Muller Connors: Two people bought something from me just now, but something went wrong with my computer, so their orders weren't recorded.
Muller Connors: I think they went to my ranch to feed the horses. If you have time... Can you help me find them and confirm their orders?
You: Of course! I've been wanting to look around the ranch, anyway.
Muller Connors: Great! I'll write down the order details that I remember. Please confirm them for me.
At Fjord Streams
You: Hello! Excuse me, but did you just buy two balls of yarn and a jug of fresh milk from Mr. Connors?
Young Girl: Yes. Is there a problem?
You: No, I'm just helping him confirm some orders.
Young Girl: I see. This ranch is surprisingly conscientious. I'll leave a good review.
At River Valley
You: Excuse me, did you buy one fresh lamb leg, two jugs of goat milk, and one jug of cow milk from Muller's Ranch?
Young Man: ...I also bought two fresh chickens and a twelve-pack of hard cheese.
You: All right, noted.
You: Mr. Connors, this is the confirmed list.
Muller Connors: Nice, everything's good and clear now. Thanks a bunch for helping me out.
Starving Pony
If you're free, can you go and help me feed those starving ponies?
Muller Connors: Young lady, I'm a little busy now. Can you help me feed those hungry Skadi ponies?
You: Sure. Where is the feed?
Muller Connors: Don't worry. I'll get it for you.
You: I'm excited to play with the ponies up close!
Muller Connors: The horses in my ranch are all very gentle. They're usually on the plateau grassland. Go and find them.
You: Good. Where are the ponies?
Muller Connors: They are usually wandering around on the plateau grassland. Bring some feed over and you'll find them.
You: Sure. Here I go!
Following Muller's directions, you walk towards the field.
You: (Found them! I thought these horses were a full hand shorter than the normal ones and sure enough, it seems like they're actually ponies.)
You: Come here, I've got lots of delicious things for you.
The ponies seem to understand what you said and gather around you. You: You guys are really well-behaved. Let me pet you for a bit...
You: (Even their manes feel soft. They're so adorable! Help me! I think I've fallen for their charms...)
Volunteer Shearer
Muller's Ranch is looking for volunteers. Does anyone want to come and experience the excitement of shearing a goat?
Awards Lucky Fruit Tart x200
Muller Connors: Young miss, great timing. Wanna try shearing a sheep?
You: Huh? By myself?
Muller Connors: Our ranch hosts shearing events where you can exchange wool by weight for souvenirs.
Muller Connors: Wanna give it a go?
Experiencing the authentic rancher life while winning prizes — what a deal!
You: I do!
Muller Connors: Then what are you waiting for? Come with me.
Feeling excited, you follow Muller towards a flock of sheep.
You: (According to Mr. Connors' instructions... I need to first calm the sheep...)
You: (Then slowly approach it... )
You: (Yeah, I think I can do it!)
You recall the shearing tips that Muller gave you and begin to put them into practice.
You: Be good...
Picking up a pair of shears, you prepare to shear the first sheep "awaiting its fate."
Thus, a battle between shears and sheep begins...
Two hours later, bags full of wool sit on the grass at Muller's Ranch.
You: Phew... Why do sheep have so much wool? My arms...
Muller Connors: How do you feel, young miss?
You: Shearing is a lot of fun, but... I can't feel my arms now.
You: Probably because I don't lift weights often enough...
Muller Connors: You could've stopped for a break.
Muller Connors: I saw you doing the work of two people, so I thought you were really enjoying yourself.
You: What?! Oh, you should've told me...
You: I'm too tired to even lift my arm now.
You: I didn't know shearing can be so tiring... It's really not easy to run a ranch.
Muller Connors: It's fine once you get used to it. I'm already used to this. You did a good job, it's your first time.
Muller Connors: By the way, this is the reward I've promised you.
You: Thank you, Mr. Connors. This is really a hard-earned reward.
Emergency Request
We need help! There's too much wool to be sheared! Help!
Awards Stellin x20,000
Muller Connors: Oh no, how come there are still so many!
Muller Connors: When can I finish this? I'm too busy...
As soon as you get to the ranch, you see Muller struggling with a flock of sheep.
You: Mr. Connors, you...
Muller Connors: Young lady, please come and help me!
You: What happened?
Muller Connors: The selling point of our ranch is that we do everything manually. We don’t have many automated machines...
Muller Connors: It's hard for me to shear all the sheep all by myself. Can you help me again, young lady?
You agreed hesitantly... remembering how painful it was last time...
You: Okay, sure.
From the previous experience, you now have an easier time finding a flock of grazing sheep.
You: (The fleece is so soft. If it's used for a blanket, it'll definitely be very comfortable.)
As you fumble around, you slowly gain more experience. You learn to be gentler when shearing the sheep and trim closer to the base of the wool...
This time, you feel more comfortable...
You: (Actually, shearing sheep is quite fun.)
You: (Maybe I can be a qualified rancher next time.)
Farm Survey
Can someone help me hand out the surveys... There's no way I can finish on my own.
Awards S-Chip x30
Muller Connors: Young lady, you've come just in time. I want to ask you for a favor.
You: What's up?
Muller Connors: My wife somehow found some information on the internet and made a survey questionnaire about the ranch.
Muller Connors: She is urging me to send the questionnaire to my customers. I am too busy to ask them. Can you help me?
You: Okay. I'll do it.
Muller Connors: Sorry for troubling you with this.
You: Excuse me, I'm doing a survey for the ranch. Would you please answer a few questions?
Young Man: Sure.
You: Have you participated in the sheep shearing event?
Young Man: Yeah, I did. I've just finished the event.
You: Can you tell me your thoughts on the event?
Young Man: It was alright... It was a bit bland. The wool got everywhere.
Young Man: I think it's better if they just gave me some hay. I could've fed the sheep instead.
You: Hello, have you participated in the horse feeding event?
Young Man: I haven't tried it yet, but I was thinking of giving it a try.
Young Man: The horses in this ranch seem to be of a special breed. I wonder what it'd be like to ride them.
You: You're feeding them, not riding them...
Young Man: I can't ride them? That's a shame. I'd strongly recommend the owner to organize a horse-riding event in the future.
You: Hello, have you participated in the puffin-watching event?
Young Man: Yeah, I did. I took quite a few pictures!
Young Man: They were flying by the cliffside. I thought they were beautiful.
Young Man: I heard that if you bring bird feed, they'll come to you for food. I think it might be a fun experience.
You: Thank you for your answer. Your suggestions have been recorded.
Young Man: Remember to tell the rancher to add a horse riding experience.
You: Sure. I'll pass on your message to the rancher.
You: Excuse me, would you please answer a few questions for my survey?
Middle-Aged Woman: Okay. Keep it short. I'm on my way to a party.
You: (This lady sounds a bit rude... Anyway, it's important to finish the survey.)
You: Hello, have you participated in the sheep shearing event?
Middle-Aged Woman: Not yet. It looked pretty interesting.
Middle-Aged Woman: I'll try it later.
You: Hello, have you participated in the horse feeding event?
Middle-Aged Woman: Yeah, I've already done it. Hmm... It's fun, but I don't feel safe being so close to the horses.
Middle-Aged Woman: What if I get kicked by it? I think it's better if the horses are in a pen.
You: Thank you for your suggestion. I've noted it down.
You: Hello, have you participated in the puffin-watching event?
Middle-Aged Woman: Yeah, I did. I took some photos.
Middle-Aged Woman: Those birds are quite intriguing.
Middle-Aged Woman: Do you have any other questions?
You: No. I have written down all your answers.
Middle-Aged Woman: Good. Remember to tell the rancher about my suggestions.
After interviewing more than 10 tourists visiting the ranch, you finally finish all the questionnaires.
Carrying the questionnaire with you, you find Muller who's feeding the sheep.
You: Here you go, Mr. Connors. All the suggestions from the tourists have been recorded here.
Muller Connors: These records are very detailed! Thank you, young lady.
Survey Results
Based on the feedback, the farm made changes to the attractions. I wonder if the customers are happy with them.
Awards Evidence: "Library Key"
Muller Connors: Hey, you come just in time... Do you remember the questionnaire you helped me give out last time?
Muller Connors: I adjusted some of the activities according to the suggestions. Our reviews have improved a lot!
You: That's great.
Muller Connors: Well, my wife has made a new questionnaire. Can you please ask the guests' opinions for me?
You: Sure. Give me the questionnaire, Mr. Connors.
Muller Connors: Thank you. You are such a helpful young lady!
You: Hello, may I have an interview with you?
Young Man: Interview, again? I think I've been interviewed last time... Fine, what's your question?
You: What did you think of the newly added horse riding event?
Young Man: It was great! I really enjoyed riding on the grassland!
Young Man: Was this because of the feedback I gave last time? I'm happy that the owner listened to my opinion.
You: What do you think of the newly added stables?
Young Man: Hmm... It's okay.
Young Man: I don't like feeding horses, so I'm not that interested.
You: What was your favorite experience from the ranch activity?
Young Man: Horse riding, of course!
Young Man: I hope the farm can build a racing track in the future. I bet it'll be loads of fun.
You: (I think that's a bit too much. This is a farm, not a race track...)
You: That's all for now. Thank you for your answers.
Young Man: It's okay. My experience at the ranch has improved a lot. I hope it can get better and better.
You: Hello, may I have an interview with you?
Middle-Aged Woman: What? Didn't you ask me last time already? What're your questions this time?
You: It won’t take long! I only have a few simple questions!
You: What did you think of the newly added horse riding event?
Middle-Aged Woman: I didn't try it. I thought it was too dangerous!
Middle-Aged Woman: I think it'd better if the farm had more simple, but entertaining activities. I'd rather avoid dangerous activities like horse riding.
You: What do you think of the newly added stables?
Middle-Aged Woman: It's a lot better than before. It feels safer having the horses being separated from the guests.
Middle-Aged Woman: The owner did a good job of listening to the guest's suggestions.
You: What was your favorite experience from the ranch activity?
Middle-Aged Woman: Hmm... I guess it'd be the puffins. Those birds looked delicious.
You: (Delicious? Did I mishear her? She said delicious?!)
Middle-Aged Woman: Is that all? I'm going to feed the puffins now.
You: Yes, that's all. Thank you for your cooperation.
Just like the previous survey, the guests have all provided their suggestions on the adjusted programs.
You: Here you go, Mr. Connors. These are the latest survey results.
Muller Connors: Thank you. Just leave it here. I am really sorry to trouble you all the time.
You: You are welcome. Actually, I am just taking this chance to have a tour of the ranch.
Muller Connors: Did you come here to investigate something? I remember Johann told me that you're interested in the manor?
You: Do you know Johann?
Muller Connors: We’ve been friends for many years. He's very nice. He introduces his guests to visit my ranch all the time.
You: I see...
You: (Speaking of which, Johann also asked me to come to the bay... Why do I feel like I've been set up?)
Muller Connors: I haven't been to the manor myself. There's not much I can do to help with your investigation, but...
Muller Connors: A tourist left a key here before. He said he found this on the third floor of the manor. Do you want it?
You: Are you sure you want to give it to me?
Muller Connors: Of course. It's not much use to me even if I keep it. If you need it, just take it.
You: Thank you, Mr. Connors. I will take it.

Interactive Turtle Game
Are you free to come and feed the sea turtles with me? They're so cute!
You: Found them! So the sea turtles are all gathered here.
You: Are they here to sunbathe on the beach?
???: Sis, come play with me.
While you watch the turtles, you suddenly hear a young girl's sweet voice behind you.
Jolene Hall: Missy, let's feed the turtles together! Turtles love playing with me!
You: Sure. Do you come here to feed the turtles often?
Jolene Hall: Well, the turtles are my friends. You see, they're coming.
You: How do I feed them?
Jolene Hall: I've got some food! Here, take some... Put them in your palm and feed them. They'll come and play with you.
You: Did they just come ashore? They look so relaxed.
Jolene Hall: Yeah, yeah, we can get closer.
You: Well, I'm going to take some pictures of them.
Jolene Hall: I'm so happy today. It's nice to have someone to play with me. Shall we feed the turtles again next time?
You: Sure, deal.
Shiny Balloon
The balloons outside the shop look amazing! I really want to go and ask the ladies in the shop for one!
You: Those balloons outside the handicraft shop are quite nice. Oh... they've got its name and logo printed on them.
???: I want a shiny balloon!
You: Eh?
You turn around and see a cute little girl behind you, looking at you with her big bright eyes.
Jolene Hall: Missy, I want a balloon.
You: But those balloons are for decorating the store. They are not for sale, are they?
Jolene Hall: Well... Missy, could you please ask the shop lady for me?
Jolene Hall: I really really want a balloon, just one!
You: Well... I can ask the owner of the shop for you.
You: Excuse me, are the balloons in front of your shop for sale?
You: There is a young lady who'd really like one of those balloons outside the shop. She wants me to ask you.
Brindisi Lloyd: Well, those are put outside for promotion.
Brindisi Lloyd: If she likes them, she can take one for free.
You: Then I thank you on her behalf.
Jolene Hall: Really? Really? Can I pick one balloon for myself?
You: Of course. The shop lady already agreed.
Jolene Hall: Hehe, I've already decided! I want the red balloon.
You: This one? Here you go...
Jolene Hall: Thank you, Missy. You are the best. You are my favorite!
Jolene Hall: Oh, no, mommy's my favorite. Then... You are my second favorite!
You: (A child's wish is so easily satisfied.)
Question Game
Come and play the Question Game with me. I'll ask the questions, and you answer, how's that sound?
Jolene Hall: Missy, shall we play a Q&A game?
You: Sure.
Jolene Hall: I'll ask questions and you'll have to answer them!
Jolene Hall: First question! What's the name of Jolina's favorite faerie ?
You: What kind of question is that?
Jolene Hall: Oh, is it too hard for you? No one else in the world can answer this correctly except my mom.
You: (Isn't it normal?!)
You: Is it called "Mary" or something?
Jolene Hall: Bingo! Missy, you are so smart!
You: (Really? It was purely a blind guess! Maybe I should buy the lottery to try my luck?)
You: I give up. Next question.
Brindisi Lloyd: Hey, how can you give up already on the first question! Miss, focus!
Jolene Hall: Second question. Why is the sand on Night Beach so black?
You: Isn't there a legend in Skadi Island? There was a battle between the faeries and the demons on the beach...
You: The black sand, rocks, and reefs are the remains of the demons.
Jolene Hall: Wow, Missy, you are so smart! That's exactly what my mom told me.
Jolene Hall: I knew faeries exist in the world. The faeries have been protecting us all the time!
You: The volcanic rocks left by the eruption centuries ago were washed by seawater, so they became black.
Jolene Hall: Oh, is that so? But mom said it was because the faeries defeated the demons, who turned into this beach.
You: Okay... I think that's what the legend says.
Jolene Hall: Mm-hmm, what mom said can't be wrong.
You: (Of course, for kids, the fairy tale is much more convincing.)
Jolene Hall: So here's the last question.
You: Give me a normal question, please. The other questions were too hard for me.
Jolene Hall: All of my questions are very normal... Okay. I'll ask you a simple question next.
Jolene Hall: What's the name of the bay in the west?
You: Sakya Fjord!
You: This can't be wrong. I did my travel homework before I came here.
Jolene Hall: Correct! Full marks! Missy, thank you. I had a lot of fun today. See you next time.
You: The bay in the west is called the Western Fjord.
Jolene Hall: It's called Sakya Fjord. There's a name for it! Missy, you should work harder.
You: I will be more prepared next time.
Jolene Hall: Deal. Next time when we play Q&A, Missy, you'd better be well prepared!
Damaged Pestle
Oh no! Someone is sabotaging the faeries' trip hammer!
Jolene Hall: Stop it. Please don't damage the stone piles. They were prepared for the faeries!
Destructive Youth: Humph. Can't I even kick a stone now? Kid, you'd better leave me alone, otherwise, I'll...
You: Stop! If you touch her, you'll have to answer to the law, I promise you.
Destructive Youth: Annoying woman. Who are you again?
[Debate]
Jolene Hall: Woo Waaaaa, that man is horrible... he destroyed the stone piles I made. The faeries are going to get angry.
You: Don't be upset. I'll fix it for you, okay?
Jolene Hall: Woo Waaaaa,... Missy, you are so nice.
Destructive Youth: Mind your own business. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you!
You: (I shouldn't be intimidated by him. Calm down... I will find a way to refute him!)
Number of Faerie Cottages
Can someone come and help me count how many Faerie Huts there are?
Jolene Hall: Oh, how many are there...
You: What are you counting?
Jolene Hall: Shh, I'm counting the number of faerie cabins.
Jolene Hall: My mom told me if I can figure out the number of faerie cabins, I might be able to make friends with them.
You: I see... Let's count together. Together we'll be able to count all of them.
Jolene Hall: You are so nice, Missy. I really like you.
You: (I didn't look closely before, but it seems like there are lots of faerie huts in this part of the forest.)
You: (Some look like they have just been made. The paint on their roofs still looks new.)
You: One, two, three...
Jolene Hall: Missy, have you figured out how many cabins there are?
You: Yes. There are five cabins in total.
Jolene Hall: Wow, I also counted five cabins.
Jolene Hall: As long as I make five wishes, I will be able to see the faeries, won't I?
You: Well... What if the faeries are not at home and couldn't hear your wishes?
Jolene Hall: Oh... Then I have to come and make a wish again tomorrow. One day, they'll hear my voice.
You: There are about 10 cabins.
Jolene Hall: I only counted five cabins! Missy, you must have counted wrong...
You: Although there are only five cabins in front of you, there are still many cabins in the forest.
You: I think there are definitely more than 10 faerie cabins in this forest.
Jolene Hall: Wow, really? Then let me count again.
You: (The kid seems to be very stubborn about faeries, well... Why is that...)
Faerie Stone Tablet
Can you take a look and tell me what's written on the stone tablet?
Awards Lucky Fruit Tart x200
Jolene Hall: So... strange
You: Well, what's the matter?
Jolene Hall: Missy, can you help me see what's written on the stone tablet? I can't understand it at all.
You: This one...
You: Hmm, these symbols are very strange...
You carefully examine the words engraved on the stone tablet. It only takes a few seconds for you to realize that you aren't familiar with these complicated characters.
You: I'm sorry, I can't understand the characters either.
Jolene Hall: Woo Waaaaa... Oh no...
Jolene Hall: My mum said the way to find the faeries is on the stone tablet. If I can't read it, I can't find the faerie.
You: Don't cry, why don't we ask the people who live around here. Maybe they know something.
Jolene Hall: Really? Woo Waaaaa, Missy, please ask for me!
You: Hello, are you a local resident?
Teen Who Likes Fairies: Yeah, what's the matter?
You: I wanted to ask... Who made the stone tablet in the forest?
Teen Who Likes Fairies: Oh, that was built by the residents from Faerie Town.
Teen Who Likes Fairies: We like to use words to communicate with the faeries. We believe that only the words carved in stone are seen by the faeries.
You: May I ask what is engraved on that stone tablet in the forest?
Teen Who Likes Fairies: They are symbols left behind by the natives of Skadi Island.
Teen Who Likes Fairies: It is said that those characters are also used by the faeries.
You: Someone told me that the secret to seeing the faeries is recorded on that tablet, is this true?
Teen Who Likes Fairies: Huh? I think that person was making things up. The symbols carved on the stone tablet are blessings. Nothing more, nothing less.
Teen Who Likes Fairies: Those symbols are very common in our city. You can take a look. You should be able to find them in other places as well.
You: Is that so...
You: I've asked... It's just a normal blessing on the stone tablet. It's not the way to find the faerie.
Jolene Hall: Woo Waaaaa... Impossible. Mommy must have made a mistake. I'll go back and ask her...
You: (She looks so sad... She must like faeries a lot.)
You: (I hope her mother can comfort her...)
New Toy Challenge
Wow! Mommy bought me a new toy! Come and play with me!
Stellin x20,000
Jolene Hall: Missy, play with me, won't you?
The little girl smiles and shows you the toy box in her hands, in which there are many strange white parts.
You: These are...
Jolene Hall: They're the fishbone building blocks mommy bought for me!
Jolene Hall: Mommy said she made a mistake with the way to find the faeries... She bought me a new toy as an apology!
Jolene Hall: Mommy also said that when I finished building the blocks, she will tell me the real way to find the faeries!
You: (Faeries again?)
Jolene Hall: Missy, please help me to put the blocks together. I want to show mommy sooner!
You: Sure. Let me help you!
Jolene Hall: Yeah, thank you, Missy!
You: (This child is so persistent with faeries. I guess it must be a headache for her mom...)
You take the toy box from Jolina, take out the fishbone blocks, and put them together with Jolina.
You: Finally finished!! Let me take a picture...
Jolene Hall: Missy, don't you think these building blocks look like the fishbone sculpture over there?
You: Which one?
Jolene Hall: The fishbone sculpture on the floor... does it look like the toy in my hand?
You: Um... I think the toy in your hand looks like a dinosaur. This sculpture is more like a whale.
Jolene Hall: Missy, you've got it mixed up!
Jolene Hall: This sculpture is a dinosaur! Look, this is its head and its body...
You: Sure, whatever you say. This sculpture is a dinosaur.
Jolene Hall: Humph, I don't want to talk to you. I'm going to show mommy my building blocks. She will be surprised!
Jolene Hall: This time I will see the faeries!
You: Yes... Well...
After giving it some thought, you decide not to ruin the kid's dream.
You: Well, if you see the faeries, please say hello to them for me.
Jolene Hall: Of course. Goodbye, Missy!
Reason for the Wish
Come make a wish to the faeries with me...
S-Chip x30
Jolene Hall: Missy, mommy finally told me a new way to see the faeries.
You: What is it?
Jolene Hall: Make a wish! She said that as long as I make a wish to a faerie cabin, I'll see a faerie!
Jolene Hall: Missy, go with me and let's make a wish together!
You: Okay. I'll go with you. Let's go.
You take Jolina by the hand and lead her into the forest where many faerie cabins are.
You: There are many faerie cabins here. Which one do we make a wish to?
Jolene Hall: I like the red one. Missy, say after me...
Jolene Hall: Faeries, faeries, please appear to me.
You: F... faeries, please appear to me?
Jolene Hall: No. You need to be more emotional!
You: Faeries, faeries, show up in front of me!
You: Is that ok?
Jolene Hall: Mm-hmm, I think you are almost there! This time I'm sure the faeries will show up.
Of course nothing appears in the forest, and nothing will appear.
The little girl changes from hopeful to disappointed... She buries her head and her face is full of sadness.
Jolene Hall: Hmm...
You: (If something really shows up, I'd be so scared. But Jolina looks so frustrated...)
You: (What should I do...)
You: Don't be sad. faeries are shy. Maybe they will meet you in your dreams at night.
Jolene Hall: Really?
You: Yes, of course. Haven't you seen faeries in your dreams?
Jolene Hall: Yes. I often play games with faeries in my dreams!
You: That's right! You are already good friends in your dreams. Of course they won't come out during the day.
Jolene Hall: Ah... I see. Missy, you are so smart!
You: (Well, I made that up. Faeries, please don't be mad at me. I just don't want to hurt a kid's feelings...)
You: Look, Jolina, the faeries still haven't come. Maybe they won't show up today. Let's go home first, OK?
Jolene Hall: Why don't the faeries show up? Mommy said, as long as I make a wish to the faeries, my dream will come true.
Jolene Hall: My dream is to be friends with the faeries...
You: Don't lose faith. I'm sure the faeries will come into your dream and make friends with you there.
Jolene Hall: Really? Will faeries really come to my dream?
You: Yes. As long as you keep them in mind, you will dream about them at night.
Jolene Hall: Okay. I will wait for them then!
You: (I hope she'll dream about faeries tonight. Otherwise, she's going to be disappointed again.)
"Faerie's" Dream
I dreamt of the faeries, and they told me I can go and play with them today!
Awards Evidence: "Preparation Room Key"
Jolene Hall: Missy, you are so smart.
You: What?
Jolene Hall: Didn't you say that the faeries would come to my dream and make friends with me?
Jolene Hall: After going home the other day, the faeries really appeared in my dream!
You: Great. You can play with the faeries in your dreams then.
Jolene Hall: And then... The faerie in my dream asked me to come here to play with them!
You: (Errr... This same topic again!)
Jolene Hall: Wow... It's true this time!! Missy, look, the faerie is there!
You: Huh?!
You are stunned... Following Jolina's finger, you see someone with wings on the back, floating in the forest.
The transparent wings vibrate slightly under the sun, just like the beautiful faerie in the tales.
You: How can that be... Is that a faerie?
You: (No, it looks completely different from the faeries from Skadi Island. It looks more like something from a cartoon...)
While you were at a loss of what to do, a woman waves at you from a spot not too far from the forest.
You: (Hmm? There's someone is over there...)
You: Excuse me, you are...
???: Hello, I am Anna, the girl's mother.
Anna Schumer: I'm so busy with work that I couldn't spend much time with her. So I said that faeries would play with her.
Anna Schumer: So now she believes it and insists on seeing the faeries all the time.
Anna Schumer: I tried to distract her, hoping that she'll give up... But she's so persistent with the faeries.
You: For a child, a mother's words are the truth.
Anna Schumer: I made a fake doll and hung it up there, to make her dreams come true...
You: (So that's why the faerie looks so weird...)
Anna Schumer: Thank you for spending so much time with her. We must've caused you a lot of trouble.
You: No, it's fine. Jolina is such a lovely girl. I love playing with her.
Anna Schumer: I can't stay long or she'll find out. Please keep it a secret for me!
You: Don't worry. I'll keep this a secret for you.
Jolene Hall: Missy, who are you talking to?
You: It's nothing. I was just chatting with the residents about my investigation.
Jolene Hall: What are you investigating?
You: It's the manor...
You tell her about the investigation of the Manor of Hermes as an excuse for your behavior.
Jolene Hall: You mean the Manor of Hermes by the golden waterfall? I know it! I've been there to look for faeries.
You: You've been there? Did you find anything?
Jolene Hall: There're no faeries there... But I found a beautiful key on the second floor of the manor!
Jolene Hall: Missy, do you want it? You can have it.
You: Really? Can you give it to me?
Jolene Hall: Yes. You've helped me find the faerie, and I also want to help you, Missy!
You: Thank you. Maybe this key will bring me good luck.
Johann Brose
Johann Brose owns the lodge in Vikya and is the main character's main point of contact after arriving in town. His Reputation track awards the Evidence: "Maid's Bedroom Key."
Lucky Message in a Bottle
I hear that you can find Drift Bottles near the Night Beach. Can you show it to me if you find one?
You: Huh? Is that a drifting bottle over there?
In the black sand, you can vaguely see a glass bottle being pushed back and forth by the waves... You: (The waves are so fast... I thought even if it was washed up the beach, it could've been washed away.)
You: (I didn't expect to get it.)
You: Now I can show off to Johann.
Johann Brose: How was it? Did you find anything on Night Beach today?
You: Yes. I found a drifting bottle.
You: Look, there's a scroll inside the bottle. Maybe this bottle has been drifting for a century.
Johann Brose: It's your lucky day. Did you open the bottle to see what's written on the scroll?
You: Yeah, I did.
You: It's just that the handwriting on the scroll's so blurry, I can only see words like "you are my wonderful."
You: I guess it might be a love letter to someone.
Johann Brose: True love hidden by the sea? So romantic.
You: I wonder what the story is... I wish I could find out more about it.
You: I didn't open it. I want to read it with my friends after the trip.
Johann Brose: You want to share your foreign travel experience with your friends, don't you?
You: Yeah, interesting stories are supposed to be shared with the people around you.
Mark of a Hero
There are traces of an ancient champion at the Faerie Town! Go and take a look if you're interested.
You: (Strange... I don't recall seeing these shields the last time I came to Faerie Town)
You: (Is that... fresh red paint on the shield?)
Several shields are scattered outside the residents' houses, they seem to have been placed here recently. You: (The patterns on the shield... seem to be ancient Skadi Island symbols.)
You: (Maybe Johann knows something about this. Why don't I take some pictures and talk to him about it?)
Johann Brose: I see from the look on your face that you've come across something interesting.
You: I saw a few newly made shields outside the residents' houses.
You: I took some pictures. Have a look...
Johann Brose: These shields are made to commemorate the brave guardians.
Johann Brose: Look. These symbols engraved on the shields were used by the ancient guardians of Skadi Island.
You: Do these symbols have any special meaning?
Johann Brose: It means "far away". The ancient guardians believed that with these shields, people would not lose their way or lose themselves when they journey far away.
Johann Brose: If you are interested, you should check out the guardian memorial day. It's a unique we have here, and I think you'll like it.
You: Sure. I will visit when I have a chance.
You: What is the guardian memorial day?
Johann Brose: It's one of our special events here.
Johann Brose: People dress up like the guardians who defended Skadi centuries ago, and perform interesting activities and rituals.
Johann Brose: If you are interested, you can go and experience it yourself.
You: It sounds interesting. I'll go when I have time.
Nameless Rose
If you happen to go to the Seti Falls, please bring back a bouquet of roses by the waterfall for me.
In front of the rocks and the waterfall, a bouquet of red roses sits quietly. They stand out sharply, yet they're so beautiful. You: Who would leave roses in a place like this?
You: (Well, there's no name on it.)
You: (Since Johann told me about this, whoever left the roses here must have something to do with Johann?)
You: (Maybe I should ask him first.)
You: Johann, there's a bouquet of red roses at the waterfall.
Johann Brose: I could smell the fragrance of the roses from afar. Thank you for bringing it over.
Johann Brose: Please give me the flowers, beautiful lady.
You: Well, here you are.
You: I don't quite understand. You were also near the waterfall. Why did you ask me to get the roses?
Johann Brose: Well... to use your country's language, "it's a long story".
Johann Brose: But it's my secret. I'm sorry but I can't tell you.
You: It's okay. I understand.
You: (Although, I'm still very curious! What's Johann's secret...)
You: What if I don't want to give it to you?
Johann Brose: Come on, kind lady. This is my only wish... Please help me with this.
You: (His tone of voice... I shouldn't have made fun of him.)
You: Can you tell me first, why did you ask me to go to the waterfall and get the roses?
Johann Brose: One of my acquaintances left it there.
Johann Brose: This bunch of flowers is very important to me. Is this answer acceptable?
You: Well... Here... Here are your flowers.
You: (Strange... Johann's expression is very unnatural. What is the story between him and these flowers?)
Feeding Plaza Pigeons
Can you go and feed the pigeons by the Arts Square for me? You can get the feed from the Hostel Service Area.
Pigeon: Coo... Coo... Coo... Coo...
You: Wow, they're all here.
You: (It should be ok to touch them, right? They're so cute...)
Pigeon: Coo coo.
You: Seriously? They finished all four bags of feed already?!
You: Are you an eating machine...
Pigeon: Coo coo coo!
You: No, that's all... Look, there's nothing left.
Pigeon: Coo!!
You: No. Don't come over... Don't get close!
You: You guys, stop it! I'll get angry if you keep chasing me! I mean it!!
[Debate]
You: Phew, I finally escaped... I didn't expect to get chased by pigeons when I'm feeding them.
You: Guess I should bring more bird food with me next time.
You: Oh, my, why are the square pigeons in Vikya Capital so aggressive... I'd better be prepared before I feed them again.
Lost Book
A customer said that she lost her book. Can you go and find out what happened?
Johann Brose: Oh, a guest said she just dropped a very important book...
Johann Brose: "Helping others is the source of true happiness," if you have time, can you please help my guest?
You: Well, let me find out what happened first.
A young lady with long hair seems to be looking for something. You can sense her anxiety from her expression.
You: Excuse me, did you lose something?
College Student: The limited-edition book I just borrowed from the library is gone.
College Student: What should I do... losing such important findings would be a great loss for humankind.
You: Don't panic. Think about where you've been. I'll help you.
College Student: I walked here from my guesthouse... Then I realized the book is missing from my backpack.
You: I think it should be nearby. Let's take another look.
You: Found it! Is it this book?
In the corner of the street, a blue hardcover book lies quietly on the ground.
College Student: That's the one, that's the one!
College Student: Thank you. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn’t know what to do...
You: You are welcome. We should all help each other.
Beautiful Necklace
Can you pick out a nice necklace for me? I trust girls' taste better.
Awards Evidence: "Maid's Bedroom Key"
Johann Brose: Oh? I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence. You're also browsing the goods here?
You: Yeah, just looking around. By the way... How was your party? Did it go well?
Johann Brose: Thanks to your help with getting all the supplies, it went very well.
Johann Brose: I even met my girlfriend there.
You: Congratulations!
Johann Brose: That's why I have a favor to ask of you. Can you help me choose a necklace? I want to give her the most beautiful necklace in the world!
You: (Looks like Johann is head over heels in love.)
Johann Brose: Which style do you think is better as a gift? I'm sure you have better taste than I do.
You: I think...
You: Go for a sweater necklace. They're easy to match with winter clothing, and they come in lots of styles.
Johann Brose: Yes, that makes sense... I've seen my goddess wear a turtleneck sweater before. A long necklace would've looked very nice with it.
You: Hm... Go with a choker. A good choker can really bring out a woman's appeal.
Johann Brose: Now that you mention it, she wore a choker to the party! It was gorgeous!
Johann Brose: By the way, if I want to custom-make a special pendant for her... What style should I choose?
You: How about this amethyst pendant? It's simple yet elegant, and it would complement a lot of things.
Johann Brose: It's truly beautiful... If I recall correctly, amethysts symbolize romance? Certainly a nice meaning.
You: I think that pearl pendant looks unique. See, it even has a siren design on it. Isn't it stylish?
Johann Brose: Siren? Ah... True... To me, her singing is more alluring than any siren's song.
You: Hmm... I think a resin flower pendant would be unique... No two flowers have the same shape.
Johann Brose: That's right! As unique as my love for her!
Johann Brose: I think I've decided!
You: That's good.
Johann Brose: I'm sure she'll love it. I can already imagine how beautiful she'll look with this necklace.
Johann Brose: Thank you for your invaluable advice. I'm off to buy it now.
You: You're welcome. They were just some suggestions.
You: You've helped me a lot lately on Evelyn's behalf. I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet.
Johann Brose: Speaking of Miss. Fuller, I just remembered that I have a clue about the Manor of Hermes. Maybe it'll be useful to you.
You: What is it?
Johann takes out something from his bag and hands it to you. It is a plastic bag with an old, rusty key inside.
Johann Brose: I found it in the corridor on the first floor when I visited the manor several years ago.
Johann Brose: It's yours now. It might be useful to you.
You: Thank you. I'll use it with care.
Johann Brose: I wish you a fruitful journey.
Sentimental Scarf
Can you help me choose a scarf to buy? The kind that a woman would love right away.
Awards Lucky Fruit Tart x200
Johann Brose: Sorry to bother you, my most kind lady, but you have to help me!
You: What's up?
Johann Brose: I want to buy a scarf for my girlfriend.
Johann Brose: Can you give me some more advice? I want to get something that she will love at first sight!
You: Let me see...
You: How about this lace scarf? This cotton lace style's very special. It'd be a nice match with a party dress.
Johann Brose: It's very nice!
Johann Brose: But isn't it... too cold right now for this? I want to get something warmer.
You: Well, how about that light color rhombus wool scarf? It looks elegant and warm.
Johann Brose: Yeah. She'll love the camel color!
You: It's better to choose a simple and warm wool scarf for this season.
You: Both the stripes and the rhombic style look good. They look very easy to match.
Johann Brose: Okay! I'll get this light color rhombic wool scarf. The color matches her skin tone. I'm sure she'll like it!
Johann Brose: By the way, can you also pick a gift box for me? What kind of box do you think I should use?
You: How about a heart-shaped gift box?
You: Since it's a gift to express your thoughts, it should be wrapped in a special way.
Johann Brose: Good. Put the gift I chose in my heart and send it to her. She will love it!
You: (Johann is quite romantic...)
You: What about the square gift box? The ribbon and bow decoration on it looks very nice.
Johann Brose: It's very nice... But the square box looks too ordinary. Do you have anything more special?
You: Well... What about the heart-shaped gift box? It looks very chic.
Johann Brose: Great, that's it! I'm sure this will give her a surprise!
Sweet Photo Album
I've requested a custom-made photo album. Can you pick it up for me?
Awards Stellin x20,000
Johann Brose: Oh no, why now...
You: Johann, are you in trouble?
Johann Brose: I ordered a photo album earlier, and they're asking me to go collect it now...
Johann Brose: But I have a date with my girlfriend to visit Saint Faerie Church... Oh... What should I do?
You: I have time. I can pick it up for you.
Johann Brose: Really? That's great!
You: Can you tell me the store address?
Johann Brose: It's on the south side of the street with all the shopping. I'll text it to you later.
Johann Brose: Please give the owner of the store, Gurazon Murphy, the pick-up order.
You: What is he like?
Johann Brose: He is an honest middle-aged man. Everything in his handmade craft store is made by him.
Johann Brose: He is usually busy, so he asks customers to do pick-ups at a certain time of day.
You: Where is the Pick-Up Order?
Johann Brose: Oh, I have it. Here...
Johann Brose: Gurazon doesn't like computers, so he gives out paper slips to his customers.
You: Can he make anything?
Johann Brose: Mm-hmm. Gurazon is amazing. Anything you can think of, he can make it!
Johann Brose: Also, if you want to buy unique souvenirs, you can go to his shop and have a look.
You: Cool. I will have a look.
Johann Brose: Once you get the album, could you please come and get me near the Saint Faerie Church?
Johann Brose: I thought... Well, I have a special use for it...
You: (I knew it. It's for your girlfriend, right?)
You: Okay. I'll go now.
As Johann said, the handicraft shop has all kinds of exquisite products made by the owner, Gurazon Murphy.
After you fetched the album, you stand outside to look at the shop window for a while before you leave.
When you get to the church, there're not many tourists. Johann stands alone in the street waiting for you.
You: Here you go... This is your album!
Johann Brose: Wow, the texture and the weight of it... It's a masterpiece. Thank you. You've really helped me out so much.
You: You're welcome. By the way, didn't you say you were going to spend time with your girlfriend? Why are you here alone?
Johann Brose: Don't get me started. She has something to do and couldn't come...
Johann Brose: Even the most intricate plans in the world cannot withstand the obstruction of fate.
You: It's a shame, but it doesn't matter. There're still chances in the future.
Johann Brose: That's right. Next time, I must be even more prepared and give her the perfect date.
Promised Place
Can you accompany me somewhere today? It's a very important anniversary for me.
Awards S-Chip x30
Johann Brose: [Player], are you free today? Can you go somewhere with me?
You: Yes. You...
You see Johann holding a large gift box full of small gift boxes inside...
There's an album on top of the gifts, which is the one you helped him get from the handicraft shop.
You: (Aren't these the gifts Johann prepared for his girlfriend?)
Johann Brose: Come with me.
Following Johann's mysterious tone of voice, you leave the guesthouse with him, feeling confused.
Johann Brose: Here we are. This is it.
You: Saint Faerie Church?
Johann Brose: This is where I was supposed to meet her. Do you want to hear about my story?
You: Sure. I'm all ears.
Johann Brose: In fact, I didn't meet the girl I like at the party. I just ran into her again there...
You: Who is she?
Johann Brose: She was my first love. We were an enviable couple back in university. But I was young and I didn't cherish it...
Johann Brose: Later she went overseas while I stayed in Skadi... Until this time... I didn't expect she'd come to my party.
Johann Brose: We chatted a lot. I can see that she hasn't forgotten our relationship. So I decided to pursue her again.
Johann Brose: We should pick up from where we left off. So I asked her to meet me here... I didn't know if she would come...
You: I think she will! You two are going to become an enviable couple again.
Johann Brose: Thank you for your kind words. I also hope that we can start over again.
You: What if... she doesn't come today?
Johann Brose: I will continue to wait. I think... as long as I am patient enough, I will be able to wait till she comes.
You wait with Johann in front of the church for a long time...
Until it gets dark and the sunlight disappears, you still haven't seen the lady who Johann talked about.
Johann Brose: Well, I guess she is not ready to accept me again.
You: Johann...
Johann Brose: I am fine. I won't give up so easily. One day, she will understand...

Luke
Luke: ... You: What's up? Luke: Isn't this painting... a little weird? You: Weird? Luke: Yeah. Look at it: the wings, the weird skull design, and what looks like two eyes in the background... Luke: I feel like I've seen it before, but I can't remember where... Luke: I only remember that it's some religious sect's symbol. You: ??? Luke: If only we had someone who knew about religion or art. Artem
Artem: ... You: What's the matter, Mr. Wing? Artem: Nothing. I just think this painting... seems familiar? You: Familiar? Artem: Yeah. A demon's head and an angel's wings... It looks like religious imagery... You: Do you remember from which religion? Artem: Sorry... I can't remember right now. You: No worries. It's not something that you'd normally pay attention to. You: (However... If there was someone familiar with religion and art...) You: (They'd be able to recognize it...) Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, why are you staring at this painting? Vyn: It is nothing. I simply discovered something that I find interesting. You: Something interesting? Vyn: Yes. Take a look carefully. Do you not think that the painting seems strange? You: ... You: There are wings, skull, and eyes in the picture. You: Why do they put these patterns together? Vyn: ... Vyn: These appear to be the symbols of a certain cult. You: Dr. Richter, can you understand this picture? Vyn: I wish I could. But unfortunately, I do not know this picture. Vyn: The reason I came to such speculation is that... Vyn: The combination of these bizarre patterns and the painting itself seems to be full of religious sentiments. Vyn: But I cannot tell anymore. You: Well... This painting is probably more than just a decoration. Vyn: True. However... Vyn: This could be related to a very obscure cult. Vyn: To decipher its symbolism and reason for being here, we may need an expert who can truely read the painting. Marius
Marius: Hold up! You: What's wrong? Marius: This is... Rebirthology? You: Rebirthology? What's that? Marius: Look at this painting. Marius points to the painting on the wall. Marius: Don't you find it strange? You: Now that you mention it... You: The painting has wings, a weird skull, and... eyes? You: Why this particular combination of things? Marius: Because these are symbols of Rebirthology. Marius: Rebirthology was a popular cult among certain groups of people in the last century. Marius: They believe that people are born with sins. Marius: But at the same time, everyone has the chance to cleanse their sins. Marius: Skulls symbolize evil, wings symbolize possibility, and eyes, are the gaze of God. You: Wow... You know this really well. Marius: I heard from my lecturer in the arts and religion course at school. Marius: Although Rebirthology is not a common religion, many of its believers are artists and master painters. Marius: Influenced by the doctrines and customs of the cult, they'd created quite a lot of masterpieces. Marius: Like the famous Seven Days Worship collection, it is about the processes of a religious ritual. Marius: This one is the third painting of the Seven Days Worship series, with very similar contents and techniques. You: I've seen the Seven Days Worship on the internet, but the painting look kind of distorted... Marius: In art, distortion and madness are sometimes regarded as a kind of beauty. Marius: Although the beauty of madness in Rebirthology paintings is a very uncommon type of aesthetic... Marius: Not just you, many people who study art find it difficult to accept. Marius: So there are indeed very few people who understand Rebirthology and their paintings. You: But if the painting is here, it means... Marius: There might be believers in this manor. You: ... Marius: Hold on. There's something else here. Again, Marius examines the paintings carefully. On the back of the frame, he finds something unexpected. Marius: It's a purple gemstone fragment, which should belong to the Erin's Winter.

Luke
You: Luke, look at this. This sculpture is so beautiful. Luke: Yeah, and the details are made so skillfully, so... You: So? Luke: This must be the work of a great master. Luke: But I can't tell who the artist is. Sorry. You: It's fine. It's great that you can decipher so much from these objects. You: Only an art expert would be able to extract more information in such a short space of time. Artem
You: Hm? A sculpture, here? You: It's lovely... You: You can see how elegant it is even through a layer of dust. Artem: This must be a master artist's work. You: Mr. Wing, do you know who sculpted this? Artem: No. I'm only judging by the material and precise handwork. Artem: This isn't my area of expertise, so that's all I can say. Artem: If I were someone who knew about sculpting or art... Artem: Then I should be easily able to identify the creator. You: Mr. Wing, you're too modest. The amount you know is already quite impressive. Artem: Thank you. Vyn
You: This sculpture is so beautiful... Vyn: Do you like it? You: Yeah. Look at it, Dr. Richter. Even though it's dusty, it still looks so exquisite... You: It must be very expensive... Vyn: Indeed, from the material and precision of the craftsmanship, it is probably the work of a master. Vyn: But I am sorry I do not know... which master to be exact. You: It doesn't matter, Dr. Richter. I was just making a comment. You: To identify precisely whose work this is, in such a short time... You: I'm afraid only an art expert would be able to do that... Marius
You: What a beautiful sculpture... Marius: Isn't this a work of Railas'? You: Railas? The famous painter? Did he also make sculptures? Marius: Of course. Although Railas is mostly known as a painter... Marius: His sculptures are just as highly valued as his paintings. Marius: But due to his sculptures being relatively rare, they are all very expensive. Marius keeps circling around the sculpture before he stops and squats down behind it. Marius: A statue of this size... Without certain networks and connections, it's probably something very hard to get. You: If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean the owner of this manor is... Marius: Yeah. He's very wealthy, with good connections. You: ...Really...? Marius: Okay, let's put that aside for now, Miss. Marius: I also found something else. You: What is it? Marius: Look. Marius extends his right hand. In his palm lies a purple gemstone fragment. You: It's a shard of Erin's Winter! Marius: Yup!

Luke
You: Luke, Luke, there's something in this box! Luke: Hold on, lemme open it... Luke opens the box and takes out something that looks like a notebook. Luke: It looks like a list, but parts of it are destroyed. You: What's written on it? Luke: There's writing, but these records seem to be encrypted. Luke: They're recorded in some sorts of... religious symbols. Luke: We can't decipher this if we don't know the specific meanings of the symbols. You: Can you tell which religion they're from? Luke: They look familiar, but I don't know why... Luke: If only we could check online or ask a religion or art expert. Artem
You: ... You open the box. Artem: What is it? You: There's a list inside, but the writing is a bit... odd. You: I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I think this record uses images instead of writing. Artem: It must be some method of encryption. These pictures resemble a skull and feathers... Artem: This sort of imagery is common in religious encryptions. Artem: Maybe this notebook has something to do with a religion? You: (It would be nice to have someone who knows about religion or art right now.) Vyn
Vyn: Wait a minute. Vyn stops suddenly. He opens a box and takes out something. You: What's wrong, Dr. Richter? Vyn: There is a list of names... in the box. You: Yeah... But part of this list seems to have been destroyed... You: ... Vyn: What are your thoughts? You: Dr. Richter, do you find the writings on it... a little strange? Vyn: These words seem to be recorded by visual encryption. But as for the details... Vyn: I apologize. This encryption method is not very common. Vyn: Perhaps we require the opinion of an art expert to decipher the patterns and understand its message. Vyn: Unfortunately, I am not able to do this. You: It's fine. Let's take a picture for the record. Let's move on. Vyn: Sure. Marius
You: Marius, wait. You open the box in front of you and take something out. Marius: A list... But part of it has been destroyed. Marius: Hold on. Let me see what's written on it? You: What's wrong? Marius: Look at the shapes of these words. Do you find them strange? You: Well... they look like a combination of skulls and feathers... You: Are these words encrypted? Marius: Yeah. It's a special encryption method used by the cult of Rebirthology. You: Can you understand their encryption? Marius: Well, I've seen this in a painting which was shown in class before. Marius: Rebirthology is an obscure cult. Although there're very few written records about them... Marius: But because many of their believers are artists and painters, they have a large collection of artworks. Marius: In the second painting of the Seven Days Worship depicting Rebirthology's rituals... Marius: It portrays the process of how this encryption method was invented. Marius: And the method of decoding this encryption is also hidden in the painting itself. You: You mean... you can understand the messages on it? Marius: Of course. I was very curious so I studied all the paintings of the Severn Days Worship. Marius: Let me see... Marius takes the list and starts reading it page by page. Marius: ...This list is a record of the believers' tributes. You: "Tribute?" What is that? Marius: It's a donation the believers give to the church. Marius: Rebirthologists believe that people are born with sins and it's possible to cleanse their sins. Marius: The reason unfortunate events happen is because of your sins. Marius: And to stay out of misfortunes, believers must cleanse their sins. Marius: But it's not enough to cleanse your sins yourself. You need a Prophet. Marius: And that's the Abbot of Rebirthology. He claims to be the son of God and capable of communicating with God. Marius: As long as the believers continue to pay their tributes, they would receive prophesies. Marius: And by following the prophesies they can wash away their sins. Marius: How fast the prophesies work is related to how much tribute one pays. The more you pay, the faster it works. You: Isn't that how pyramid schemes work nowadays? Marius: Exactly, but when Rebirthology was popular, science was not universally accepted... You: So on the list, how much did people pay? Marius: Let me see... Marius: Some contributed their houses, some contributed gold... They are all of the extremely high values. You: I can't believe that... Marius: Looks like this manor was a place where Rebirthology believers gathered. You: ... Marius: Oh right, there's something else on the list. Marius hands you something. You: It's a shard of Erin's Winter. Marius: Yes.

Luke: Here! There is something between the books. Luke carefully takes out the object. You: It's a notebook. There are a lot of newspaper articles in it. Luke: Looks like they're all articles related to the treatment of some sort of disease. Luke: But that's all I can understand from them... Luke: It would be handy to have a doctor with us now. Artem
You: Mr. Wing, look up there. It looks like something's between those two books. Artem: It's a... notebook? You: I'll go find a ladder. One moment. Artem: No need. Allow me. Artem approaches the bookcase with a few steps and pulls out the notebook. Artem: It's just an ordinary notebook, but there are some news clippings pasted inside. Artem: They all seem to be reporting about treatments for a certain disease. Artem: As for the reports' contents... We should consult a medical professional. Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, do you see that between the two books? Vyn: Sure, I have it. It is a notebook, and there are a lot of news clippings contained within. You: News clippings? What are they about? Vyn: Without exception, all these articles are related to treatment methods for mental illness. Vyn flips through the notebook and asks you to look at the contents. On the last page of the notebook, on the news article, there is a number "No.0012." Vyn: In addition, annotations are written in the margins of each report. "Used," "Not used," "Not effective," and the like. You: "Used," "Not used"... Did someone perform these treatments after reading these articles? You: And who was collecting these information? Vyn: ... Vyn smiles but does not answer you. Vyn: Okay. Let us leave this complicated question behind for now. I have something to show you. Vyn gently holds out your hand and puts something on your palm. You: This is... a fragment of Erin's Winter! Vyn: Yes. It fell out when I picked up the notebook. Vyn: We are... quite lucky. Marius
You: Marius, can you please help me get the thing between those two books? You: I can't reach it... Marius: Sure. When have I said no to you before? One second. Soon Marius takes out the object between the two books. Marius: It's a notebook, with a lot of newspaper clippings in it. You: But I can't understand these reports. Marius: Me neither. I can roughly tell that they are all about the treatment of a certain disease. Marius: As to the rest... We'd better play it safe and consult a medical professional.

You: They are all... badly damaged... You: Dr. Richter, can you identify these things? Vyn: ... For some reason, Vyn remains silent for a while. You: ??? Vyn: Most of these... are instruments used in a physical procedure performed to treat certain mental conditions. You: Physical procedure for treating mental conditions? Vyn: Correct. If I have not mistaken, these damaged instruments... Vyn: Are electrical devices for electroconvulsive therapy. You: Electroconvulsive therapy?! You are shocked at what Vyn told you. Vyn: Yes. Before the discovery of chlorpromazine, physical therapies like electroconvulsive therapy... Vyn: Were widely used in the treatment of various mental disorders. Vyn: It appears that there was at least one mental patient in this manor. You: Can we find the condition of the patients who'd undergone these treatments? Vyn: I am afraid it would require more clues to do that. Vyn carefully examines the object in front of him. Vyn: Hold on... That green substance in this corner is ... a gemstone fragment? You: Gemstone fragment... Erin's Winter! Marius

In front of the turned-around dining chair in the southeast corner
Dialogue
Luke
You: There are some broken pieces of wood here. You: They look just like the other chairs in the house. Luke: Judging from the cracks on the wood, they seem to be have been broken by impact from external forces. You: External force impact... Did someone break the chair? Luke: Or maybe someone fell on the chair and broke it. Luke: And look at these wooden pieces, these dark dots look like dried blood. You: So did a conflict or a fight happen here? Luke: I think so. Luke: Oh? You: What's up? Luke: There seem to be something else in the wooden pile? Luke squats down and begins to flip through the pile of things in front of him. Luke: Got it! You: What is it? Luke: Look. You: Yellow gemstone fragment... You: It's a fragment of Erin's Winter! Luke: Correct! Artem
You: Mr. Wing, come and look at this. Artem: What is it? You: Look at these chunks of wood. They look like they came from the chairs in this room. You: But the shape of the cracks looks unnatural... Artem: Indeed. Artem: It would be best to have them analyzed by someone familiar with evidence and crime scene analysis. You: Got it. You: (Someone familiar with crime scenes... A detective should do, then.) Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, look at these broken pieces of wood on the floor. You: Don't the shape of the cracks seem strange? Vyn: They do. But unfortunately... You: What's is it? Vyn: I am not an expert in forensic science, so I cannot answer your question. You: It doesn't matter. It was just a random question. You: (But if we want to solve this problem, I think we should consult a detective...) Marius
Marius: Be careful. Don't get tripped over by these wooden pieces. You: Are these wooden pieces from a broken chair? Their style is the same as the other intact chairs in the house. Marius: But... Don't you find the cracks of these wooden pieces strange? Marius: They don't look like they broke down naturally. You: Makes sense. So what happened to them? Marius: That I can't be sure. I don't know much about forensics. You: (These traces... should I consult a detective...)

Luke
Luke: !!! You: Are you okay? You don't look right! Luke: Look at these. They look like charcoal ashes. You: Charcoal ashes? Like from burning the wood? You: Did someone set fire to the kitchen? Luke: I think so. Look at the cupboard next to you. Luke: It's in a different place than the furniture markings left behind from years of being in the same place. Luke: And the ashes on the ground are mainly around these old markings... Luke: I think after the original cupboard got burned, someone came back and place a new one here. Luke: And not just here, I've noticed as we came in. Luke: Most of the walls on the first floor were charred by a fire. Luke: Evidence of fire can be seen in a few of the intersections. You: So this manor... Luke: Right. There might have been a large fire here. You: ...Shall we look around and see if there're any other clues? Luke: Yeah, good idea. Luke turns his eyes back to the things left on the ground and fiddles with them. Suddenly, as he moves, a yellow object appears from within the ashes. You: Look! Luke: Judging from its shape, it's probably a gemstone fragment of "Erin's Winter!" Artem
You: Mr. Wing, look at what's in this corner. Artem: Looks like the product of some chemical reaction. You: Can you tell what it is? Artem: Sorry, it's dim in here, and there seems to be many impurities in the substance. Artem: I can't be sure of what it is right now. You: Me neither. That's unfortunate... You: (It would be nice to have an expert detective with us right now...) You: (They'd be able to tell at a glance.) Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, I found something here. Vyn: Are these... the products of some kind of chemical reaction? You: But it's dark and the lighting in the kitchen is not very good. You: There is no way to identify what these are. Vyn: ... You: (If only we have a detective here...) You: (They'd be able to identify this substance very soon...) Marius
You: What's this pile of dirt? Marius: It looks like the product of some kind of chemical reaction... Marius: But with only our eyes... and it's so dark in here... Marius: It's impossible to tell what this is at all. Marius: And it's so strange that something like this would appear in a manor... weird... You: (At times like this I wish there's a detective here with me...) You: (They'd be able to explain something like this...)

Dialogue
Luke
You: Are these... pots... hanging on the wall? Luke: ... You: For some reason, it seems strange to see these pots hanging here... You: Especially compared to the pots on the floor. You: Although they all look dirty and old, but... Luke: But the pots hanging on the wall are newer, and there are traces of them being cleaned. Luke: The pots on the floor are dustier and dirtier than those on the wall. Luke: Also, there are obvious marks of damage on them. Luke: They look like they have not been used since they got knocked over. You: But they are all in the kitchen. Why do they seem different? Luke: It's likely that the pots were knocked over in some kind of incident. Luke: After the incident, someone returned to the manor and settled here. Luke: This pot hanging on the wall was what he used. Luke: But it's just my guess. We'll need more evidence. Luke continues to observe the objects on the wall. He reaches out carefully and tries to pick up the pot. The moment the pot moves, an object drops from the gap. Luke: Yellow gemstones... It's a fragment of Erin's Winter! Artem
You: ... Artem: Did you find something? You: Mr. Wing, look at the wall over there. Artem: Are those... pots and pans on the wall? You: Yes, but some of these pots give me a strange feeling. You: But I can't explain why... Artem: Maybe we're missing something. Let's keep looking. You: Okay! You: (Hmm... Should I consult a detective?) Vyn

Luke
You: Is there something stuck... between the books? Luke: I think so... hold on. Let me get it out. Luke carefully pulls out a few pieces of paper from between the books. Luke: They look like... documents. Luke: And the writings on them... look strange? Luke: The records we found along the way have all been written in English. Luke: But some of the information in this document has been replaced with Akkadian intentionally... You: Akkadian? You mean the language used in the Codes of Hammurabi? Luke: Yes. You: Can you understand the writings on it? Luke: Too many things are written in Akkadian, I can't read them... Luke: All the other written records in this manor are in English... Luke: Why would this one be mixed with Akkadian? You: So... You: I guess... We need to find someone who understands this language. Artem
You: Mr. Wing, it seems there is a document in those books. Artem: Wait. I'll get it. Artem walks in front of you protectively and pulls out the document for you. You: Is anything written in it? Artem: This document... You: What about it? Artem: The key information in this document has been replaced with Akkadian. You: Mr. Wing, can you understand what it says? Artem: Yes. I studied the Code of Hammurabi before, and also studied Akkadian. Artem: This document... is a record of a fire experiment. You: Fire experiment record? Artem: Looks like someone was testing the extent of the damage made by fire of different intensity. You: ...Someone was planning to set fire to the manor? Artem: It's possible. Artem: But... some pages seem to be missing from this document? You: Missing pages? Are they left somewhere else on the bookshelf? Artem: I'll look again. Artem searches the bookshelf again. After a while, he stops. You: Mr. Wing, did you find anything? Is that the missing experiment record? Artem: No. It's a red gemstone fragment. Artem: It should be the missing part of Erin's Winter. Vyn
Vyn: ... Vyn stops in front of the bookcase and pulls out something between the books. You: What's wrong, Dr. Richter? Vyn: It is nothing special. I just found a document. Vyn: However... You: What's wrong? Vyn: Most of the other records in the manor are written in English. Vyn: However, a lot of the information in this file... has been replaced with Akkadian. You: ... You: Dr. Richter, can you understand what's written in it? Vyn: Sorry. Akkadian is rarely used nowadays. I am not familiar with it. You: (Should we find someone who understands this language...) Marius
You: Marius, look at the bookcase over there. You: Is there something stuck between the books? Marius: I'll get it. They are documents. You: Documents? Marius: Well, but it's a shame that... Marius: Most of the records in the manor are written in English... Marius: But a lot of the information in this document is recorded in Akkadian... Marius: I am not familiar with the language. I can't understand it. You: Okay. You: (It looks like we need someone who knows this language...)

Luke: Hold on. There's something under the bed. Luke takes a closer inspection then slowly pulls out a box from under the bed. Luke: It seems... there are some letters and a picture inside. You: What do the letters say? Luke: Sorry. I can't understand them. You: ??? Luke: The letters are written in Akkadian. Luke: This language is very obscure. I don't know it. You: Is that so... You: (Well... Should we find someone who understands it?) Artem
You: Mr. Wing, there is a box under the bed. Do you want to open it? Artem: Yeah. Artem slowly pulls out the box and opens it. Artem: In the box... there are only some letters and a painting. Artem: In addition, the letters were written in Akkadian, which is the same as the Code of Hammurabi. Artem: Do you want to know the contents of the letter? I do
You: Sure. There may be something important in these letters. Artem: You're right. These... are love letters. You: Love letters?! Artem: Yes. Not right now
You: Maybe later. There are so many of them, we probably won't be able to finish them quickly. You: Let's have a look at the rest of the manor and come back to this later. Artem: No. We'd better read them now. Artem: These... are love letters. Artem: Look at this one. It's addressed "To my dear Erin," from "Winter." Artem: And in this other letter, the address and signature are swapped. Artem: As to the contents of these two letters, they're mostly about sharing secrets. Artem: It is mentioned in the letter that Winter is the son of the butler of the house. Artem: He and Erin grew up together, like childhood sweethearts. Artem: But for some reason... Artem: They couldn't make their feelings public, so they had to write letters to each other in secret. Artem: As for this painting... It's written here. It's a gift from Erin to Winter. Artem: In the corner, there is also a signature, "My love and I, Winter and Erin." You: These two were in love? Artem: I think so. But there's a noteworthy fact, Erin mentioned that there's not much time for her left. Artem: I'm afraid there's more to this relationship. As Artem finishes his sentence, he rummages through the box again. Artem: !!! You: What's the matter, Mr. Wing? Artem: I found a fragment of red gemstone in the box. You: Red gemstone fragment... You: Is it from the Erin's Winter?! Artem: I think so. Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, there is a box under this bed. Vyn: Please, allow me. Vyn pulls out the box and opens it. You: It seems that there are only some letters and a picture. You: But I can't understand... some of the words in these letters... Vyn: These words... seem to have been replaced with Akkadian. You: Dr. Richter, can you understand it? Vyn: Sorry. This language is very rarely used now. I am not familiar with it at all. Vyn: I can only recognize the language itself. You: But this language... feels familiar to me... Vyn: The infamous Code of Hammurabi was written in this language. You: Maybe we should find someone familiar with the Code. Marius
You: Marius, there's a box under the bed. Marius: Step back. I will get it. Marius pulls out the box carefully and opens it. Marius: These look like letters, and there's a painting. Marius: The words are... In Akkadian? Marius: That's too difficult... You: Doesn't the Code of Hammurabi also uses this language? Marius: Shall we find someone who understands the code?

Luke: Yes. You: What did she write about? Luke: Let me see... Luke quickly flips through the notebook, and as he reads, his expression slowly becomes... confused... You: What's wrong? Is there something strange in the notebook? Luke: Nothing. It's just a family drama. Luke: If this gets written into a TV drama, it can probably turn into dozens of episodes... Artem
You: Is that a... notebook? You pick up something lying open on the table. Artem: What's up? You: I found a notebook. It seems to belong to a maid called Avril. You: It says... You quickly flip through the pages. Artem, who's next to you, is reading the notebook with you. A short while later... Artem: ... You: ... You: Hahaha... The relationships of the residents of this manor are indeed eye-opening. Vyn
Vyn: This is... Vyn walks towards the table and rummages through the stuff on it. You: What's wrong, Dr. Richter? Did you find something? Vyn: It is a notebook which belonged to a maid called Avril. You: What's it about? Vyn: Well... You should see for yourself. Vyn hands you the notebook. You flip through the notebook and you become a bit... embarrassed. You: HaHaha, the occupants of this manor and their relationships can be made into a prime-time drama. Marius
You: There's something here? Marius: It's a notebook. And it belongs to a maid, called Avril. You: What did she write about... Out of curiosity, you flick through the notebook. Marius is reading it next to you. Gradually, the facial expressions of you and Marius's face become... funny. You: Ha... Haha... Marius: The relationships in the manor are surprisingly complicated. |

On the north wall near the door
Dialogue
Luke
You: ??? You: Luke, look at this shrine. Luke: It's so big... But why is there a photo in the center of the shrine? You: Strange... Wouldn't this photo affect the aesthetics of the shrine? Luke: Maybe... there is a special meaning in doing so? Luke: This shrine looks familiar to me. I feel like I've seen it somewhere... Luke: It seems to be some sort of religious symbol... Luke: If only we have someone who knows religion or understands the picture on the shrine. Artem
Artem: ... You: What's the matter, Mr. Wing? Artem: Nothing. I just find this shrine... somewhat strange. You: True. And there's a picture in the middle... Artem: Hmm... The design looks familiar, like a certain religion's ceremony. You: Do you remember which religion? Artem: Sorry, I can't think of it right now. You: It's okay. After all, people don't usually pay attention to these things. You: (But... If there is someone who is familiar with religion and art...) You: (They should be able to recognize it...) Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, look at this shrine... Vyn: Do you think there is something strange about it? You: Well, besides its strange shape which consists of eyes, skull, and wings... You: Why put a photo in the middle of the shrine? Vyn: Perhaps there is a special meaning behind it. Vyn: This shrine has a strong religious flavor, we should find someone who possesses this kind of knowledge... Vyn: Or someone who can understand the images on the shrine. Vyn: Maybe then your questions could be answered. Marius
A shrine decorated with strange patterns is on the table. And there's a photograph in the middle of the shrine. You: Marius, do you know what this is? Marius: This is a... wishing shrine of Rebirthology! You: Wishing shrine? Are you sure? Marius: I'm certain. Marius: Although Rebirthology is a very uncommon cult that not many people know about... Marius: But the picture on the shrine is quite well known in the art community. Marius: Some smaller churches would paint their frescos by imitating this painting. Marius: Even the images on stained glass windows. You: Imitate this? But there're eyes, skulls, and wings on it... You: They seem inappropriate for a church... Marius: They don't copy the painting itself, what they copy is the composition. Marius: The patterns you mention have great contrast in their shapes and colors. Marius: So how to put them together subtly and express what the painter wants to say... Marius: That is not an easy task. Marius: But the artist had done a good job with the pictures on this shrine, especially in expressing the mysterious mood of Rebirthology. You: Now you mention it... You: when I look at the shrine, I can imagine what Rebirthology is like. Marius: Later on, a master artist was inspired by this painting when he saw it by accident. Marius: He used a similar composition in painting the fresco of a church. Marius: In the end, when the church was finished, the frescos became hugely popular. Marius: As a result, this composition became popular as well. Marius: Most people only know about the work of that master, but not many know about this Rebirthology shrine. Marius: I also came to know about this by chance when I was studying at the Florence College of Art. You: What does the shrine mean then? Marius: According to the doctrine of Rebirthology, if there's something the believers want from God... Marius: First of all, they need to donate money to the abbot to show their sincerity, which is the tribute. Marius: Secondly, they need to worship this statue at home for 21 days and wait for the coming of God. You: And this photo was placed on the statue because... Marius: Look. There's a message behind the photo. Marius: "I implore the almighty powers of the heavens to wash away my daughter's sins and to awaken her from her madness." Marius: "Lassiter Modero." You: ...Mr. Mordred was a believer of Rebirthology, and it was him who worshiped this statue for his daughter? Marius: Yes. And judging from the size of this statue, Mr. Modero's tribute was not small. Marius: So his status in Rebirthology must be quite respectable. You: ... Marius: Oh right. There's something else in the shrine. Marius opens his fist happily. Marius: I found this behind the picture. It is the missing gemstone of Erin's Winter.

Luke
Luke: This is... Luke finds a scroll from among the rags on the bench in front of the bed. Luke: The contents... seem to be encrypted with images instead of text. You: Can you understand it? Luke: I don't think so. I haven't seen this kind of encryption method before. Luke: But these symbols look like some kind of religious symbols... Luke: Perhaps it is a unique way of encryption in some kind of religion? You: (In that case... I should go and consult someone who knows religion or art.) Artem
You: (There's something underneath the rags on this bench... A parchment scroll?) Artem: What is it? You: I found a scroll, but the words on it are strange... You: I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I think it uses images instead of writing. Artem: It must be some method of encryption. These pictures resemble a skull and feathers... Artem: Maybe it's related to religion? You: (It would be nice to have someone who understands religion or art right now.) Vyn
Vyn: ... Vyn opens the scroll under the rag on the bedside bench. You: Dr. Richter, is there a problem with this scroll? Vyn: The content of this scroll... seems to be encrypted with patterns. You: Graphic encryption? Vyn: Yes. And these graphics used in the encryption seem to have a strong religious flavor. You: Dr. Richter, can you understand it? Vyn: Although I would like to say "yes." I am sorry that I have not seen such an encryption method before. Vyn: Perhaps... Someone with knowledge in religion or art would know how to decipher these codes. Marius
There's a scroll under the rags on the bedroom bench. Marius examines the scroll. You: Did you find anything? Marius: Before I answer that, take a look at this picture, Miss Attorney. See anything unusual? You: ... You: The shapes of the texts look like a combination of skulls and feathers. You: Is it encrypted? Marius: Not bad, Miss Attorney. You're right. This type of encryption... Marius: It's the same encryption method as in the second painting of the Seven Days Worship collection. Marius: If I've not mistaken, this is indeed the unique encryption method used in Rebirthology. Marius: On one hand, it's to prevent information leaks and government sanctions, and also to show Abbot's divinity... Marius: They use a combination of their signature skull and feather patterns to represent different words. Marius: And to convey the message in this way. You: On the scroll, it reads... Marius: "Your appeal has been noted by God." Marius: "In a few days, Grady, God's messenger, will arrive and cleanse Erin Modero's sins." Marius: ... You: ... As you are comprehending what Marius has just said, your eyes look away... Something shiny in the gap of the bench has caught your attention. You: This is... You come closer to the bed bench. You: It's a gemstone shard we've been looking for!

Something's written on it. You: ??? Luke takes the piece of paper from you and takes out a lighter from his pocket. Luke lights a fire then puts the paper over the flame. Before long, words start to appear on the paper. You: !!! Luke: Just as I thought... The words are written with diluted acid. Luke: It's almost showing now. Do you want to see what's written? You: Yeah. You take the note from Luke and try to read it. You: ..."Commission received. Will bring the police to your manor at 19:30 in three days." You: "Rest assured.

Luke: Is this... a medical record? You: Medical record? Luke: Well, look. These are the names of the doctor and the patient. Luke: But why are the writings in this report... so messy? Luke: It's completely illegible... Luke: I thought only doctors in our country write like that. I didn't expect it to be the same in other countries... You: Let's consult a medical professional... Luke: Yeah. Artem
Vyn
There are a few documents on the desk. Vyn looks at these documents and frowns. You: What's wrong, Dr. Richter? Vyn: Look at this. You: Is this a medical record? Vyn: Yes. The attending physician is called Grady, and the patient is Erin Modero. You: Mr. Modero's daughter? What was her illness? Vyn: Her symptoms match that of mania. You: Was Miss Modero cured? Vyn: Not only was she not cured. According to this medical record, her condition got worse and worse. Vyn: Initially, Miss Modero was still able to maintain sanity for periods during the day. Vyn: But towards the end, she was completely unable to maintain her sanity. She was confined inside the house. You: Really... That's too bad... You: But judging from the age of the manor, conditions like mania back then... it was almost incurable. Vyn: Indeed. But I believe for Erin to had reached that stage of insanity had a lot to do with the practitioner. Vyn: Grady was not a doctor at all. You: Dr. Richter, how do you know that? Vyn: This medical record seems to be written by a doctor. But the descriptions are confusing and inaccurate. Vyn: In terms of treatment, he tried numerous physical therapies on Erin without much consideration at all. Vyn: His unscientific methods, on the contrary, worsened Erin's illness and further damaged her health. Vyn: If he had not made so many incorrect decisions, judging from Erin's symptoms in the early stages... Vyn: If she had received the right treatment, her condition could have been improved. You: So in the end, Miss Modero... Vyn: The final treatment record is missing. Let's see if there are any other clues. You: Okay. Vyn: By the way, I found something else on the table other than the medical record. You: What? Vyn: It's the gemstone fragment we are looking for. Vyn: Better put it away. Marius
You: Marius, I found something. Marius: What did you find? You: Looks like it's a medical record. I saw the names of the attending doctor and the patient. You hand the medical record to Marius. Marius: But why are the symptoms recorded in such a... mess. I have no idea what it's saying. You: Maybe we don't understand because we're not doctors? Marius: ...

Vyn
Vyn stops in front of the bookcase. You: Dr. Richter, what's wrong? Did you find anything unusual? Vyn: There are a lot of books on this shelf about applying physical procedures to mental patients. Vyn: Like this one for instance... Vyn takes out a book and hands it to you. Vyn: It mostly talks about aquatic therapy. Vyn: It treats patients by stimulating them in a bathtub with freezing and boiling water alternately. Vyn: In addition, these books also describe unorthodox methods like torture, interrogation, exorcism, and others. Vyn: These methods were once popular and were widely used physical procedures. You: But it is impossible to cure the patients with methods like these right... Vyn: Correct. Not only are these methods ineffective, but they may also further worsen the patient's mental conditions. Vyn: However... Vyn: If the practitioner had to rely on these books to perform treatments, was he or she actually a doctor? You: ??? Vyn: It is nothing. Vyn: Although, there seems to be something deep inside the bookcase. You: Yes... and it's glittering... It is... You try to take out the glittering object. You: It's a gemstone fragment! Vyn: It looks like this is exactly what we are looking for. Marius

Luke
You: Ehh?! There is something here too! You: Luke, look here. You carefully pull out the paper from under the drawer and show them to Luke. Luke: This looks like an experiment record... Luke: Unfortunately, the record is written in Akkadian... I don't understand it. Luke: And there's a note written here in the space of the document... Like a legal code of some sort? You: So if we want to find clues from this document, we'll have to find someone who knows Akkadian... You: And someone with a law background? Luke: Yes. Artem
You: There seems to be something here... You try feeling under the cabinet and fish out a document. You: Mr. Wing, look. Is this... an experiment record? Artem: Yes. You: Can you understand what's written on it? Artem: ... Artem: !!! You: What's wrong? Why are you making that face? Artem: In this record, some key information is substituted with Akkadian. Artem: However, this record is incomplete. Someone must have intentionally removed this page. Artem: It says... A fire would spread the fastest if its starting point were in the kitchen on the first floor. Artem: "Once the fire cuts off a few intersections and the staircases, chaos will ensue," and then they would quickly flee the manor. Artem: There are annotations in the margins... A local Skadi code of law from one hundred years ago. You: What is it...? Artem: "Damage to others' property by malicious means such as theft, arson, and robbery..." Artem: "Is punishable by capital punishment, regardless of the reason." Artem: Wait, there are words below the annotations... Someone's comments? You: ??? Artem: "He can't do it... But the method is feasible..." You: This... Artem: ... Artem: Let's look around and see if there are any other clues. You: Okay. You and Artem carefully search the area around the wardrobe. Aside from a fragment that you found in the corner and suspect is from an Erin's Winter gemstone... You don't find anything else of use. You: ... Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, I found this at the bottom of the cabinet. Vyn: It looks like... a record of experiments. You: I think so too. But I can't understand the words. Dr. Richter, can you understand them? Vyn: I can understand part of it. But I am not sure if my understanding is correct. Vyn: A lot of the information in this document is replaced with Akkadian. I do not know much about this language. You: ...Maybe we should find someone who knows Akkadian. Vyn: Plus, we might need someone with a background in law. Vyn: If I have not mistaken, in the blank space of this document, there is a written comment about the law. Marius
Marius: Lady Attorney, look here. Is there something inside? And yet before you could answer, Marius has already taken something out. Marius: Looks like... a record? Marius: But... this is written in Akkadian... Marius: And the annotation in this empty space, looks like a legal term? Marius: I'm not familiar with either of these. What about you? Can you understand it? You: No... I don't... You: (So maybe I should find someone who understands Akkadian and has a legal background?)

Luke
You: (Is that a notebook... under the pillow?) You: (It's well hidden...almost missed it...) Luke: What's up? You: Have a look. I found another useful thing. Luke: It is a diary... Luke flips through the diary and frowns. You: What's up? Luke: Look at this diary... are these excerpts of laws and regulations inside? Luke: The author replaced most of the contents to Akkadian. Luke: I am not familiar with Akkadian nor the codes, I can't understand the full contents of the diary. You: According to your description, this diary, probably only someone who understands Akkadian... You: And with a law background would understand it? Luke: I think so. Artem
You find a diary under the pillow. You: ... Artem: What are you reading? You: The diary I just found. The owner's name is written on the cover: "Erin." You: But a lot of the diary's contents are written in Akkadian. You: I can't read any of it... Artem: Give it to me. I can. You: You sure, Mr. Wing? It's a lot... Artem: Do you remember what I said? I've studied Akkadian before. Don't worry. You: Then... Thank you. Artem: Not at all. Artem: ... Artem reads through the diary and seems lost in thought for a time. You: Did you discover anything? Artem: This is actually Erin's diary. The reason why she wrote in Akkadian... Artem: Is because she didn't want her father to find out that she was dating the butler's son, Winter. Artem: According to Skadi's local laws back then, parents had absolute authority over their children's marriages. Artem: And Erin's father... greatly disapproved of Winter. Artem: To protect each other, Erin and Winter used Akkadian, a language that only the two of them could understand. You: I see... Artem: Mm. And since Winter's dream was to become a judge... Artem: Erin studied and researched various legal texts with him. Artem: She also copied some excerpts to her diary or quoted text from classic works. Artem: She then added her own annotations and comments in the margins. Artem: Like this sentence. It's from the Code of Hammurabi. Artem: And this one is an article from the Corpus Juris Civilis. Artem: As if... she viewed these exercises as a means to pursue freedom. You: ??? Artem: Here, she wrote, "I can neither leave this manor nor escape my fetters, but..." Artem: "When I am studying these things, my soul is free." Artem: "I can use them to picture the outside world I have never seen." Artem: However... You: ??? Artem: The first half seems normal, but the second half... Erin's handwriting becomes messier and her words more disorganized. Artem: There are also many sketches that don't make sense. Artem: Her condition is reminiscent of some mental disorder patients whom I've met before. You: You mean that Erin might have had a mental illness? Artem: It's just a possibility. I can't be sure. Artem: By the way, a shard is in the diary. Artem: It should be what we're looking for. Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, I found this under the pillow. Vyn: Is it a diary? You: Yes. But I found that a lot of the information in this diary has been replaced with Akkadian. You: Meanwhile, there are some extracts, which seem like legal articles to me. You: But I can't understand the writings... You: Dr. Richter, can you read it? Vyn: Sorry. I do not know much about Akkadian. Vyn: Maybe we need someone who knows Akkadian and with a legal background to unlock the secrets of this diary. Marius
You: There is something under the pillow... Marius: It looks like a diary? As Marius speaks, he takes out a diary. Marius: Let me see... the signature on the cover is Erin... Marius: ... You: What's wrong? Marius: This diary... seems to have replaced a lot of the contents with Akkadian? Marius: And some sentences look like legal terms? Marius: How am I supposed to read this? I can't get the point at all. You: ...To understand this diary, we need someone who knows Akkadian and has a legal background? Marius: So complicated... They probably don't want anyone to understand it.

You: Hold on? ...Why is there a rope on the ground? Luke: Let me see. Luke squats down, picks up the rope from the ground, and examines it carefully. You: Did you find anything? What is the rope for? Luke: Do you remember that we saw some strange marks on the wall outside Erin's bedroom window? You: Are you saying those marks were caused by this rope? Luke: I guess so, according to the size of the marks on the wall, and the shape and length of the rope. You: But it still doesn't explain what this rope is for... Luke: Have you heard the story of Rapunzel? You: You mean the story of "the imprisoned Rapunzel pulling the prince up with her hair?" Luke: Yes, but what happened here was probably... Luke: "The prince using a rope to help Rapunzel escape from her cage temporarily." Artem
You: ... Artem: What are you looking at? You: I found a rope on the floor. You: But the rope being here feels strange to me. Artem: ... Artem: Do you remember the strange marks we saw on the wall outside of Erin's bedroom window? You: Mr. Wing, do you mean that the trace was caused by this rope? You: But how come... there are traces of rope by the window? Artem: Rapunzel, have you read it? You: You mean the story of the imprisoned princess pulling the prince up with her hair? Artem: Yes, but here... Artem: Maybe it's Erin's Prince who tried to give her temporary freedom by hanging this rope out the window. Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, look! There is a rope here... Vyn: This rope... You: It's a little strange, isn't it? I feel the same. Vyn: Do you remember the strange marks we saw on the wall outside of Erin's bedroom window? You: You mean those marks were left by this rope? You: But why is there traces of this rope there? Vyn: Maybe... they tried to copy the Rapunzel. You: ??? Vyn: In the fairy tale, Rapunzel lets down her long hair and pulls the prince up the tower. Vyn: In reality, the window of Erin's bedroom leads to the garden of the manor, so maybe... Vyn: This time, the prince hangs a rope from the window to help Rapunzel get some freedom temporarily. Marius
Marius: Oh? You: What's wrong? Marius: There's a rope on the floor. You: ??? You squat down and examine the rope. You: What is this rope for? Marius: Do you remember the strange marks on the wall that we saw outside of Erin's bedroom window? Marius: I think they were made by this rope. You: But why are there marks here? Marius: Miss Attorney, have you heard the story of "Rapunzel" before? Marius: The imprisoned princess Rapunzel lowers her long hair to pull the prince up the tower. Marius: And in this manor... Marius: Maybe it's the opposite. Marius: The prince hangs a rope by the window to help the girl achieve temporary freedom.

You: Under the bed... It looks like a medical record? Luke: To be specific, it's a part of a medical record. Luke: It has only recorded the symptoms of a certain stage of the disease. Luke: Some earlier parts seem to be missing. You: What does this part say? Luke: I don't know... The symptoms were scribbled down quite badly, I have no idea what it is talking about. You: Maybe... We should consult a doctor. Artem
Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, look what's under the bed. You: Is this a medical record? Vyn: Yes, but this medical record is incomplete. Some parts in the front are missing. You: What's in this medical record? Vyn: "The patient, Erin Modero, her mental status has become completely unstable..." Vyn: "...lobotomy, or ice pick resection, which is more efficient, is recommended." Vyn: ... You: Dr. Richter... Vyn: It's fine. Let's see if there are any other clues around. You: Yeah. You and Vyn go through all the objects and traces around the hospital bed again. Unfortunately... Except for the green gemstone fragment in the corner... You couldn't found any more records about Erin's treatment. Marius
You: Marius, under the bed... Before you can finish, Marius has already picked up the files under the bed. Marius: Looks like it's a medical record. But some pages are missing. You: Can you see the name of the patient, the symptoms, and the conclusion? Marius: The patient was Erin Modero, as for the symptoms and conclusion... Marius: No. I can't tell for sure.

Artem
You: Mr. Wing, look inside this cabinet. You: There are some weirdly shaped tools... Artem: They seem to be instruments used for some kind of surgery. I've seen them before in files. You: Some kind of surgery? Artem: Ahem... Sorry, I can't recall the exact name of the surgery. You: No problem. I was just curious. You: (...Let's ask a medical professional later.) Vyn
There are some strange-looking tools in the locker. You: What are these for? Vyn: Do not touch them. As you were about to get closer to observe the tools, Vyn suddenly speaks. You: Dr. Richter!? Vyn: Sorry if I scared you. But you should not touch those tools. You: Why? Is there something unusual about them? Vyn: These tools are used to perform lobotomy and ice pick resection. You: ??? Vyn: Both of those procedures were used in the treatment of mental illness. You: But the shape of these tools... For example, this one looks like a pick. Won't they hurt the brain? Vyn: ... Vyn goes into silence for a while. Vyn: ...Lobotomy and ice pick resection, especially ice pick resection... Vyn: Their rationale... is to make incisions to the nerve tissues in the brain. Vyn: For example, in an ice pick resection, first, they anesthetize the patient with an electric shock. Vyn: Then the doctor would drive the icepick-shaped tool underneath the eyelid above the patient's eyeball. Vyn: With a swing of a mallet to the pick's butt, they sever the connective tissues to the prefrontal cortex. You: But this method is simply... Vyn: Barbaric? Correct, it is direct physical mutilation of the patient's brain. Vyn: Many of the patients suffered serious complications and permanent impairments, thus becoming walking corpses. You: ...Does it mean someone in this manor once had such a surgery performed? Vyn: ...Yes. You: ... Somehow Vyn's explanations make you uncomfortable and sad. Vyn: [Player], look into the cupboard, something is deep inside. Don't know if he's trying to distract you or for some reason, Vyn breaks the silence quickly. He points to the end of the locker, where you can vaguely see a light. Following the light, Vyn reaches out. Vyn: Looks like we are lucky... Vyn: It's a gemstone fragment of Erin's Winter. You: !!! Marius
You: What are these in the cabinet? Marius: They look familiar... I think I've seen it before somewhere... You: Marius, do you recognize these things? Marius: I don't remember where I've seen them before. I only know they are used in some kind of surgery. You: (Perhaps... I should consult a medical professional?)

Luke: How come there is a puzzle... in the drawer of the altar? You: Who left it here? Luke: Hold on. The pattern of this puzzle... is like some kind of religious symbol. You: Religious symbol? Do you recognize it? Luke: Only vaguely... But I can't remember exactly... You: (Maybe... We should find someone who understands the religious culture.) Artem
You: A jigsaw puzzle is inside this drawer... You: The design on it is... Artem: It seems to be a symbol of a certain religion. You: Do you recognize it, Mr. Wing? Artem: I've seen it before, but I can't recall the name or religion. I'm sorry. You: It's okay. You: (Next time, should I bring someone who knows about religion?) Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, there's a jigsaw puzzle in the drawer. Vyn: The pattern of the puzzle... Looks like a religious symbol. You: Religious? Dr. Richter, do you recognize it? Vyn: Sorry. I have not seen this before. Vyn: It was just my intuition. You: It's fine, Dr. Richter. You: (It'd be great to have someone who understands religious culture now.) Marius
You: Marius, Look. There are some jigsaw puzzles in the drawer? Marius: Shall we piece them together? You: It's fine... Without the reference picture, it'll take ages for us to put these 20 pieces together... Marius: It's not a big deal. I know the picture of the puzzle. You: !!! Marius: The picture of this puzzle looks like... Marius: The fifth painting of the Seven Days Worship series. Marius: I still remember what it's like. It won't take long for me to assemble it. As Marius speaks, he begins to put the pieces together. Before long, he has completed the puzzle. As he finishes his final touch, he takes out a piece of paper from his pocket and makes a sketch of the image. You: Why are you copying the picture of the puzzle? Marius: The Seven Days Worship is one of the few remaining paintings from Rebirthology... Marius: Other than depicting the processes of their rituals, it also records the encryption method of the cult. Marius: They often use this encryption method to deliver messages, so I want to copy this down for further reference... Marius: To see whether there are any hidden messages in this puzzle. You: Did you find anything? Marius: Yes. According to Rebirthology's encryption rules, the message of this painting is... Marius: "To Grady, there's no need to cure his daughter. After his daughter has passed away, just focus on..." Marius: "finding a way of delivering Modero's property and wealth to the son of God." You: Isn't Grady nothing but a fraudster? Marius: ... Marius: Let's see if there're other bits and pieces in this cabinet? You: Let me see... You: There is none... You: But I found some gemstone fragments in the corners. Marius: That's not bad...

Artem: Erin and Winter were in a relationship, but it seems that Erin... received some kind of treatment? Artem: Instead of curing her, the treatment worsened her condition...

You: Luke, what is this? You point to the object in the corner. Luke: It feels like a barrel for holding some kind of liquid. Let me take a closer look. Luke approaches the oil barrel. He takes out the switchblade and cuts a small opening at the lower part of the barrel. A dark semi-solid material appears in the hole on the barrel. You: What's this? Luke: It is a kind of colloidal precipitate formed by gasoline oxidation when heated under high temperatures. Luke studies the substance in front of him for a while and answers you softly. Luke: But... Why's there a gasoline barrel here? And it's not opened yet? You: Maybe some machine in the manor uses it to run, and this is the reserve. Luke: No. I noticed that all the fireplaces and stoves in the manor use wood. Luke: Most of the lighting inside the manor are candlesticks or electric lamps, there's no need to use gasoline. Luke: What exactly is this for? You: Luke, look here. There is a sticker with purchase information at the bottom of the barrel. You point out your findings to Luke. Luke: The buyer is... Winter? You: Well, in the gap behind the barrel, there is one of the gemstone fragments that we are looking for! Artem
You: Mr. Wing, these two barrels are unopened. You: There's a dark substance on them. I don't know what it is. Artem: Looks like... the product from a chemical reaction. Artem: However, it is difficult to confirm its composition with just the two of us. You: You're right. You: (Maybe... I should consult someone like a detective?) You: (They would be able to quickly identify this substance.) Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, look at these two barrels. You: Some dark substances are on the surface of the barrel. Vyn: It seems to be the product of some chemical reaction. Vyn: But exactly what they are...

You: Luke, there really is! Luke: Oh?! You: Behind the rabbit's ear, there's an embroidered name, this one is "Erin." You take out another rabbit. You: And this one is "Winter"! Luke: ... You: Luke, Erin and Winter must have been very close. Luke: Just like us... Luke: These toys must've been keepsakes. Luke: After all, it is not easy to find a pair of each doll in the box. You: Why? Luke: At the time when this manor was built, Skadi Island was still in a trade embargo. Luke: There was no trade with foreign countries. Luke: At that time, even stuffed dolls were imported goods and had to be shipped from abroad. Luke: Getting one was hard enough, not to mention a pair. Luke: So you can see they were really important to each other. You: So that's it... You look at the toy box. Suddenly, a flash in the bottom of the box catches your attention. You: Looks like there's something there? You reach your hand towards the flash. You: It's the gemstone fragment we're looking for! Artem
You: There are so many toys in this box... Artem: ... You: Mr. Wing, what's the matter? Artem: The number of toys feels unusual. You: ... You look more carefully at the toys in the box. You: There's two of each toy without exception, and they're all paired. Artem: Indeed. There are also names on the toys. Artem takes out two stuffed rabbits and points at the back of their ears. Artem: Look here. One is embroidered with "Winter," and the other "Erin." You: So... What does this mean...? Artem: ... Artem: Based on the clues and information that we have, we can't answer that. Artem: We might have overlooked something, or perhaps there's a problem with our current direction of inquiry. You: ... You: (What if we consulted someone like a detective?) You: (They should be able to find out more.) Vyn
You: There are many toys in this box... Vyn: Do you like these? You: Ah... No, Dr. Richter. It's not like that... You: I just feel a little strange. Vyn: Strange? You: Well, look at these toys. They're all in pairs. You: And... You dig out two stuffed rabbits from the box and point to something behind the ears to Vyn. You: I found this when I was looking at it. There's a name embroidered on the toy. You: One is "Winter" and the other is "Erin." You: Dr. Richter, do you think there's something special about these toys? Vyn: ... Vyn: It is possible. But based on what we have now, it is impossible to come to a conclusion. Vyn: Maybe we are missing something, or... our deduction is not in the right direction. You: ... You: (Should I consult a detective or something?) You: (Maybe they will have more discoveries...) Marius
You: There are a lot of toys in this box... Marius: Were they left behind by the kids in the manor? Marius: ??? You: What's wrong? Marius: How come these toys are in pairs? Marius: And... Marius rummages through the box and finds two stuffed rabbits, and points to the rabbit's ear. Marius: Look here. There are names embroidered on the toys, this one says "Erin," the other one says "Winter." You: ...what does that mean? Marius: Without more clues, I'm afraid it's hard to draw a conclusion. Marius: Either we've missed something or we are thinking in the wrong direction. Marius: Perhaps, we should consult a professional. You: Like a detective?

Luke
You: ... Luke: What's up? You: Luke, look at the book with the black cover in the bookcase. You: Doesn't it look strange? Luke: Let's have a look at it. Luke takes the strange book from the bookcase and scans through it. Luke: ... You: What's up? Why do you look all serious? Luke: This is a missionary book from a cult called Rebirthology. Luke: As for the contents of the book... You'll see when you read it. Artem
You: Mr. Wing, this way! Artem: What's up? Why are you in such a hurry? You: Look at this book. Is it a missionary book from some kind of cult? Artem: Let me see. Artem takes over the book and quickly scans part of it. Artem: Yes. This is a missionary book of a cult called Rebirthology. Artem: But the contents inside... Artem: ... Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, I found a strange book in the bookcase... Vyn: Give it to me. You hand the book to Vyn, who quickly flips through the pages. The look on his face gradually changes. You: Is there a problem with the book? You look... Vyn: It is a missionary book about the doctrines of a cult called Rebirthology. Vyn: As for the details... Vyn: You will know when you read it. Marius
Marius: ... You: Marius, why are you frozen in front of the bookcase? Marius: I'm looking at this book. Marius waves the book in his hand at you. You: What book is it? Marius: It's a missionary book about Rebirthology. Marius: What's in it... Marius: The metaphors of this cult are even more interesting than what I imagined...

| B1 Secret Room | Mask |
On the north wall
Dialogue
Luke
You: Luke, look what's hanging on the wall! You: White outfit, and long hair... You: And the ghost mask on the table... Isn't this... Luke: Yes, it matches the appearance of the Lord of Wickedness that shows up on polar nights. Luke: Plus what we found in the kitchen on the first floor seems to be a cooking utensil that someone had been using. Luke: Obviously, someone was living in the manor and pretended to be a ghost. You: Who? Why would he do that? Luke: I don't know who it is, but why... Luke: Do you remember what people's immediate reactions are, after seeing the Lord of Wickedness? You: Run away and never come back to the manor... You: Did someone dress up as a ghost to keep the adventurers away from the manor? Luke: It's possible. Luke: From the traces in the kitchen and the room, this person had been living here for a long time. Luke: He'd guarded this abandoned manor for such a long time and tried so hard to keep people away... Luke: Is he trying to protect something? Artem
You: ... Artem: ... You: So... the ghost of the manor was an imposter? You: But why? Why would someone want to pretend to be a ghost, and who was it anyway? Artem: With our current information, it's difficult to deduce the answer. You: (Maybe we can consult a detective to get an opinion?) You: (After all, using logic and deduction to guess answers is exactly what they do...) Vyn
You: !!! Vyn: ... Vyn: So... The ghost of the manor was actually a person. You: But why? Why would someone want to pretend to be a ghost, and who was it? Vyn: This question... Vyn: I am afraid we will not be able to find an answer with the clues we currently have alone. Vyn: Maybe we should consult a detective to come and provide us with some advice. Marius
You: Marius, look at what's on the wall! Marius: This outfit... And the long hair and the helmet on the table... Marius: Doesn't it fit the description of the Lord of Wickedness? Marius: So the so-called ghost was an impersonator? You: But why? Why would someone pretend to be a ghost, and who was it? Marius: ... Marius: We probably won't be able to find the answer with the existing clues we have. Marius: Perhaps we should find a detective and consult his opinion.

Southeast corner of the room
Dialogue
Luke
You: The mirror on the wall is broken. Luke: Judging from the mirror fragments, it was damaged by an external force. You: You mean... Someone broke the mirror? You: But why would he do that? Luke: Let me ask you. What do you use the mirror for usually? You: For fixing my hair and make-up? Luke: And? You: Through the mirror, we can see ourselves? Luke: So what if someone doesn't want to see himself? You: That's why he broke the mirror? Luke: Yes. I guess for some reason the person who broke the mirror was avoiding seeing himself, especially his face. Luke: And do you remember the piece of wood with bloodstain we found on the first floor? You: You suspected someone had a fight there, didn't you? Luke: Yes, and now this mirror... Luke: Maybe the person was injured on his face during the fight? Artem
Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, look. The mirror on the wall is broken. Vyn: Perhaps an explorer entered the manor previously and damaged it by accident. You: Really... You: (Something feels off. I think we're missing something.) You: (It'd be nice to have a detective here now. They'd more sensitive to this kind of thing.) Marius

Marius
You: Marius, look. What's that on the floor! You: Is this a magic circle? Marius: This is the Blood Circle of Summoning. You: ??? Marius: Rebirthology priests draw this circle before they perform a ritual to wash away their believers' sins. Marius: With this circle, they can summon God from heaven to the realm of mortals to improve the effect of cleansing. Marius: Next to the circle, they would write down the name of the sinner who is to be cleansed. Marius: So who this circle was for... Marius walks towards the edge of the array, where there's some vague wording. But you have no problem recognizing it as you've seen this name in the manor many times. "Erin Modero." Marius: So it was for her... You: But from the traces of this circle, it looks like it's not complete... Marius: Exactly, they usually draw the Blood Circle of Summoning on the day of the cleansing... Marius: I'm afraid something had happened on the day of Summoning and Cleansing.

| B1 Underground Bunker | Bloodstains |
Northeast corner of the room
Dialogue
Luke
Luke: There are traces of scratches and dried bloodstains on the wall... Luke: It looks like it's caused by struggling or self-mutilation. You: look! Did someone write something with the blood? Luke: It looks like it, but the words are... Luke: In Akkadian. I don't understand it. You: I guess we need to find someone who knows Akkadian. Artem
You: Mr. Wing, look at the wall! You: Starting from this corner, there are many dried bloodstains and scratch marks on the wall. Artem: They seem to be marks resulting from some kind of struggle or self-mutilation. Artem squats down in the corner, inspecting the marks one by one. Artem: !!! Artem: This bloodstain looks like a sentence. You: "Sentence?" Artem: Well, it's written in Akkadian, most people won't be able to recognize it. You: What does it say? Artem: This sentence means... Artem: "Live on. I'll love you forever." Vyn
You: These marks... Are they dried bloodstains and scratches? Vyn: They seem to be the markings left behind by someone struggling or committing self-mutilation in this corner. Vyn: However... Take a look a this. Vyn points to the bloodstain. Vyn: Here. It seems there is a sentence on the wall written with blood. The words... are written in Akkadian. You: (Looks like we'll need someone who knows Akkadian to translate these words.) Marius
Marius: Are these dried blood stains and scratch marks on the wall? You: It seems to have been left by someone struggling or self-mutilating. Marius: This mark below... looks like a sentence. You: !!! Marius: This sentence... Is it in Akkadian again? Marius: We should get a professional to look at this...

| B1 Operating Room | Cabinet |
Northeast corner of the room
Dialogue
Luke
Luke: There are some medical reports here. You: Medical reports? Luke: Well, to be precise, these are medical reports about experiments. Luke: The patients in these reports have undergone the same surgery, whose post-surgery condition was closely monitored. You: What kind of surgery was it? Luke: I don't know... I couldn't understand the operation details in the report. You: Never mind. We are not professional doctors. It is normal that we can't understand it. You: (Seems like we need a doctor if we are to solve this puzzle.) Artem
You: Mr. Wing, look what's inside the cabinet. Are these medical records? Artem: They seem to be medical experiment reports. These people had all undergone the same procedure, but... Artem: The descriptions of the surgery seem... unusual. You: Is it because we aren't medical professionals, so we can't understand it? Artem: I won't rule out that possibility. Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, I found this in the cabinet. You hand the documents to Vyn. He quickly looks through them. You: How is it, Dr. Richter? Can you find anything? Vyn: These are reports of medical experiments. Most of the patients in these files suffered from mental illnesses. Vyn: The doctors performed lobotomy or ice pick resection on them, and then monitored the postoperative reactions. Vyn: They wanted to find out whether these two methods are effective as treatments for those mental conditions. You: ...What are their reactions after the surgery? Vyn: Very bad. Most of them had suffered from serious complications and permanent impairments. Marius
You: Marius, I found something in the cabinet. Marius: What did you find? The minute you take out the files from the cabinet, Marius is already beside you. You: These look like medical reports from experiments. Looks like these people had all undergone the same surgery. You: But I can't read the medical reports... Marius: Shall we consult a doctor? They should be able to tell. You: Good idea! |

Immediately left of the front door
Dialogue
Luke
You: Luke, look at all these letters here! Luke: Let me see... On the envelope it says... Luke: ..."To Mr. Lassiter Modero"... Is he the owner of this manor? You: It could be. I remember seeing this name just now at the gates. Luke: From the style of the building, this manor is probably about a hundred years ago... Luke: The writings on the envelopes are not very clear due to their age. Luke: There is no more useful information available for the time being. You: It doesn't matter. We've only just started. This manor is so big that there must be lots of things inside. Luke: You're right. Let's keep going. Artem
You: Mr. Wing, look here. Artem: Are these letters? You: Yeah. It says "To Mr. Lassiter Modero"... Must be the name of the manor's owner. You: But the rest of the words are faded... Artem: This manor has likely been around for over a hundred years, so it isn't unexpected for any writing to have faded. Artem: Let's keep going. We might discover something else. You: Okay. Vyn
You: Dr. Richter, hold on. There are lots of envelopes here. Vyn: They seem to be letters addressed to the owner of the manor. Look, there is his name. You: ..."To Mr. Lassiter Modero"... But the rest of the words are not very clear. Vyn: They have been left for too long. From the architectural style of this manor, one can determine that... Vyn: This manor was probably constructed more than a hundred years ago. You: Let's go inside. Let's see if we can find something else. Vyn: Sure. Marius
You: So many envelopes... Marius: Envelopes? Are they addressed to the owner of the manor? Is there anything written on the envelope? You: Let me see... "to Mr. Lassiter Modero..." You: Was he the owner of the manor? Marius: I think so. Is there anything else written on it? You: No. The words have gone blurry... Marius: Well, judging from the architecture of this manor, it was probably built more than a hundred years ago... Marius: The words on the letters have all gone blurry. Marius: It's okay. Let's go inside.

Dialogue
Luke
Luke: Hold on. There's a book here. You: It's the Alice in Wonderland... There's a signature on the cover. Luke: "To my only daughter, Erin..." You: So Mr. Modero has a daughter. Luke: I think Erin liked this book. Luke: Look, even though it's quite old, you can still see many traces of the book being read. You: Well... Some pages seem to have been turned a lot. Luke: ... You: Are you okay? Luke: Yeah, it's nothing. I just remembered a theory someone told me before. You: ??? Luke: "That people who enjoy reading Alice in Wonderland are those who long for freedom yet are unable to attain it." You: !!! Artem
You: This book is open. It's "Alice in Wonderland." Artem: These pages look like they have been turned many times. Artem: Looks like the book's owner liked it a lot. You: There's writing on the title page... "To my only daughter, Erin"... You: So Mr. Modero didn't live here alone. He had a daughter? Artem: Seems so. Artem: ... You: Mr. Wing, what's wrong? Artem: The suspect of the assault case that Captain Morgan consulted us for was also fond of this book. Artem: Do you remember what he said at that time? You: "That people who enjoy reading Alice in Wonderland are those who long for freedom yet are unable to attain it." You: Mr. Wing, are you saying that that Miss Modero... Artem: Perhaps... We should continue onward. Artem: Obtaining more information will let us make better judgments. Vyn
Vyn: This is... You: What's up, Dr. Richter? Vyn: Nothing much. I just found a book left open here, it is Alice in Wonderland. You: Does it say whose this is on the title page? Vyn: ..."To my only daughter, Erin." This book must have been a gift from Mr. Modero to his daughter. You: Erin must've loved this book. You see, the pages are quite worn out. Vyn: ... You: Dr. Richter, what's wrong? Vyn: Have you ever heard of the strange saying they have about this book? You: What is it? Vyn: "That people who enjoy reading Alice in Wonderland are those who long for freedom yet are unable to attain it." Vyn: Do you think this was the case for Erin? You: ... Marius
You: There is a book here. It's Alice in Wonderland. Marius: Does it say who the owner of the book is on the title page? You: Let me see... You: "To my only daughter, Erin..." You: I think it was a present from the owner to his daughter. Marius: It looks like his daughter liked this present a lot. Look, this book has been turned so many times. Marius: However... Alice in Wonderland? You: Is there a problem? Marius: No. Just a silly thing some people say... Marius: "That people who enjoy reading Alice in Wonderland are those who long for freedom yet are unable to attain it." You: !!!

There are a total of six Wishing Pools; when a player obtains all of the key rewards (indicated here by blue table rows) for a given pool, the next pool is unlocked.

A Faerie's Dream Returner Campaign
For Current Players
Current Players will receive a code to give to returning players, who must meet specific conditions to qualify to activate the code. For each returner who activates a code, the current player who sent the code will receive Tears of Themis - Limited x1 for use on the Skadi Event Shadow of Themis. This reward can be received up to three times.
The central gameplay for the event calls for the collection of 
Delicious Acorns, which are granted to the player upon completion of most AP-consuming debates (excluding Fieldwork, Trials of Themis, and Temple of Trials). Players may also claim Delicious Acorn x20 daily by checking the Exchange Shop and clicking the acorn in the raccoon's speech bubble near the bottom.
Players will use their Delicious Acorns in the event's Exchange Shop to purchase Backgrounds, Frames, and Stickers for use in the "Create Dreams" journal. Upon reaching certain milestone numbers of items purchased, players may go to the "Dream Collection" section from the front page to claim rewards as follows:
| Materials | Reward |
|---|---|
| 5 |  Snowman Special x2
|
| 6 | Stellin x5000
|
| 8 | Oracle of Justice III x15
|
| 10 | Tears of Themis - Limited x1

For Returning Players
Returning players must fulfill the following conditions to use a returner's code:
- Have an account that was registered before 2021/12/14 23:59:59 (UTC+9)
- Have not logged in to the game for more than 15 days
- Have completed Main Story 01-13
- Account level is 10 or higher
- Have not activated Returner Tasks for 30 days or more.
Note that if any of the above conditions are not fulfilled when the returning player first logs in, the returner event will not activate and the player will be treated as a current player instead. If all of these conditions are met, the bottom of the event area will not be pre-filled with a code; instead, there will be a blank spot to fill in a current player's code.
When the returning player fills in a current player's code, the returning player will receive Tears of Themis - Limited x2, Stellin x20,000, and Oracle of Justice IV x20. After that point, the returning player will receive a code to give to other returning players and may continue participating in the Returner Program and the other "For Current Player" tasks as written above.
