The Secret of the Fortress event used to be a popular method of farming Energy alongside the Time in the City event, but as of version 1.1.96, energy farming no longer works on this event.

**Neil** Who could have done this?

**Neil** Even the bridge is destroyed.

**Bright** These marks on the bridge. Someone deliberately cut through these.

**Bright** See the clean edges here?

**Sunny** Let’s see...

**Sunny** Oh... You’re right!

**Sunny** Huh?!

**Sunny** Hold on.

**Sunny** What’s this??

**Neil** Did you find something?

**Bright** It’s a wet piece of paper. I wonder if it’s from the person who smashed the bridge?

**Neil** What does it say?

**Sunny** I can’t believe it!

**Sunny** It’s Grandma’s handwriting. But I can’t make out the wet, blurry photo next to it...

**Bright** I remember seeing your grandmother’s handwriting in the journal at the workshop.

**Bright** There’s no doubt this is Sunny’s grandmother’s handwriting!

**Neil** Hey... What does this say?

**Sunny** ...

**Sunny** They’re names.

**Bright** Names?!

**Sunny** Uh-huh. These blurry letters look like an address.

**Sunny** Marco, Terrance, and Allegra...

**Neil** Who are they?

**Bright** They’re names of the residents here.

**Sunny** They’re regulars at my lemon stand.

**Sunny** I don't know much about them, but I remember their names.

**Bright** Why would their names be written on this paper?

**Sunny** If my Grandma was looking into them...

**Sunny** I should go meet them, too.

**Sunny** Maybe they’ll know something about Grandma’s disappearance!

**Bright** Good thinking, Sunny. And I know Marco. My father is friends with him.

**Bright** And Terrance is the owner of a cafe in town.

**Neil** Then you know where to go to meet them?

**Bright** Yeah, sure.

**Sunny** Bright, would you figure out who Allegra is?

**Bright** Okay! Then who should we meet first?

**Choice: Marco**

**Sunny** I want to talk with **Marco**

**Neil** Alright! Let's go to Marco!

**Choice: Terrance**

**Sunny** Let's go to **Terrance** first!

**Bright** Okay! Let's go to Terrance's cafe!

**Terrance's cafe**

**Neil** Wait. There's something on the door!

**Sunny** Notice! Our cafe will be closed this morning. Please come back in the afternoon..?!

**Bright** Ugh, then let's go to Marco first.

**Sunny** Hmm, alright.

**Sunny** But what if...

**Sunny** What if he's avoiding us?!

**On the way to Marco's place**

**Bright** This person briefly stayed at my father’s cabin once.

**Sunny** Oh, the person who recently moved in? I saw him at the lemon stand.

**Bright** Yeah, he’s a movie director. He said he likes the island’s scenery.

**Neil** Wait, do you mean Marco? I know him, too.

**Sunny** You know him? HOW?!

**Neil** My father invested in one of his movies once.

**Neil** It was a third-rate action movie, I think...

**Bright** That’s good news. You should go talk to him.

**Neil** Don’t you worry about that.

**Marco’s House**

**Sunny** Hello? Anyone home?

**Bright** Mr. Marco? It’s me!

**Sunny** ...Guess he’s not in...

**Marco** Shh!!!

**Marco** ACK!

**Marco** You ruined my shot!! The sky’s most beautiful at this time of the day!

**Sunny** E-excuse me?!

**Marco** I’m shooting a scene for my next film. It was perfect until you came in and messed it up!!

**Neil** Oh... Sorry?

**Marco** Hmm? Is that you, Bright? And you brought friends!

**Bright** Hey there, Mr. Marco!

**Marco** Come on in! But you’ll have to pay for ruining my shot!!

**Marco** The weather on this island is unpredictable, so I might not get another chance!

**Bright** Haha, sorry about that. I’ll make sure to bring some fruit over as an apology.

**Bright** These are my friends! I wanted you to meet them.

**Marco** Oh? Aren’t you the lemon-lady?

**Sunny** That’s right! Haha...

**Marco** Thanks to your lemon soap, my skin is as soft as a baby’s bottom.

**Marco** Maybe I’ll even star in my next movie!

**Neil** I’m sure you’ll be better looking than any of the other actors.

**Marco** Hmm? Haven’t I seen you before?

**Neil** Hello, we meet again! I met you with my father once, remember?

**Marco** Oh, that’s right! What are you doing here?

**Neil** It's a long story.

**Bright** A-anyway, you know how people get ideas from deep conversations, right?

**Bright** That’s why I visited with my friends! You know, for some inspiration!

**Bright** I’ll be at the garden! It’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

**Marco** How thoughtful! Make yourselves at home!

**Sunny** Hey, I’m Sunny!

**Marco** Yes, the granddaughter of the mysterious mansion. Everyone knows who you are.

**Sunny** Huh?

**Marco** N-nothing.

**Marco** How’s that old hag- I mean, grandmother of yours doing?

**Sunny** Do you know my Grandma?

**Marco** Of course I do...

**Marco** More of an acquaintance, actually.

**Marco** Man, she was quite the hot-tempered, I mean, a bold person!

**Sunny** My Grandma?!

**Sunny** She’s not one to get angry at others...

**Sunny** Maybe you’re confusing her with someone else.

**Marco** Didn’t you hear about the tantrum she put on when I tried to film the fortress?

**Sunny** The fortress?!

**Marco** Yes! That creepy castle.

**Marco** It caught my eye when I was out surfing.

**Marco** I thought it might make a good backdrop, so I went over there only to be stopped by her.

**Sunny** I mean, the place is basically abandoned... Why would she do that?

**Marco** What? Abandoned?! She got angry at me for that?

**Marco** My goodness! Unacceptable!

**Marco** I figured she had gold, or treasure stashed away there!

**Sunny** Let my apologize on her behalf. But she isn’t a person to lash out for no good reason...

**Sunny** Mister, did you do anything that might’ve looked suspicious to her?

**Marco** Huh?! What are you accusing me of?!

**Neil** Ahaha, Sunny can be blunt sometimes. She doesn’t mean any harm!

**Neil** But still... You don’t have to hide it from us.

**Sunny** Y-yeah! Wouldn’t it feel great to get it off your chest?

**Sunny** I promise I’ll tell Grandma not to yell at you again!

**Marco** Is that so? Well, then...

**Marco** Oh my, I still haven’t served you guys anything! Would you like a cup of tea?

**Neil** Thank you! That sounds delightful.

**Marco** Hold on, I’ll put the kettle on the stove.

**Marco went to the kitchen**

**Sunny** I wonder if Bright found anything. Let’s go ask!

**Neil** He might get suspicious if we both leave. I’ll distract him while you go see Bright!

**Sunny** Okay!

**Neil** Be careful!

**Backyard**

**Sunny** Bright!

**Bright** Oh, Sunny! I was actually on my back.

**Sunny** Did you find anything? You didn’t wander into the garden just to take a look, right?

**Bright** Haha, of course not.

**Bright** I did find something. I think he might be our most likely suspect.

**Sunny** What?!

**Sunny** Huh? Is that a slipper?!

**Bright** Yup. And there's all sorts of dirt on it.

**Bright** Sand, soil, fertilizer... and even lemon peels!

**Sunny** ...Really?! Does that mean he wore this coming to my mansion?

**Bright** But what's THIS?

**Sunny** Umm... A short thread? I'm not sure.

**Sunny** It looks like some kind of fur though. But never mind!

**Sunny** It is suspicious that he wore this to my mansion.

**Sunny** But how does this make him our most likely suspect?

**Bright** You’re right. But that’s not all I found...

**Sunny** A postcard? It’s all crumpled up!

**Bright** Yeah, look at the picture on the back.

**Sunny** Picture? Wow, it’s gorgeous! The design pattern seems so unique!

**Bright** Don’t you think you’ve seen that picture before?

**Sunny** What?! Um...

**Sunny** Oh!!!

**Sunny** It’s the same picture you showed me when we were cleaning out the pond!!

**Bright** That’s right. It's the same one that the suspicious person dropped on the ground.

**Sunny** But that one had our address. That's why we thought that that person wasn't grandma.

**Bright** So, what if that person is somehow connected to Mr. Marco?

**Bright** And that he’s on this island with his eyes set on your grandmother and the house?

**Marco** What are you two doing over there?

**Bright** M-mr. Marco!

**Marco** Join us before the tea gets cold.

**Sunny** ..Okay!

**Bright** What should we do? Should I ask about the postcard?

**Sunny** I’ll ask him.

**Living Room**

**Bright** This tea is delicious!

**Marco** Glad to hear it. It was a present from your dad, Bright.

**Bright** Really? I thought it was from one of the other tea-leaf suppliers.

**Sunny** Oh, that’s right. Mr. Marco? I found this in your garden.

**Sunny** I’ve never seen a postcard like this. Where can I get one?

**Marco** Wait, isn’t that?!

**Sunny** ACK!

**Sunny** W-why’d you burn that?!

**Marco** It’s just trash. You don’t need to worry about it.

**Bright** Mr. Marco? Are you all right?

**Marco** Sorry. That seemed weird, didn’t it?

**Marco** I think it’s from the stress of producing a new film.

**Marco** I’m sorry I lashed out at all of you.

**Neil** I understand. It’s artist’s block, right? I hope you don't stress too much.

**Marco** Thank you.

**Marco** It’s getting late, and I’m kind of tired. I think we should wrap things up here.

**Sunny** ..Sure! Thanks for having us! Come by for some lemonade later!

**Marco** Haha. I will. Say hello to your grandmother for me.

**Sunny’s House**

**Sunny** It’s got to be him! I just know it!

**Bright** Calm down, Sunny.

**Sunny** He called Grandma an old hag!!! What more evidence do you need?!

**Bright** Before we jump to conclusions, let’s visit everyone on the list first.

**Neil** He’s right. You shouldn’t jump the gun here.

**Neil** We’ll do everything we can to help you, okay?

**Sunny** Neil...

**Bright** Haha- How sweet!

**Sunny** In front of the fortress

**Sunny** I think we need to take a look inside the fortress.

**Bright** What?! But that’s too dangerous!

**Sunny** Mr. Marco said that Grandma didn’t even let him get close to it.

**Sunny** There must be something hidden in there!!

**Neil** If you insist, then I’ll go take a look instead.

**Neil** I’ll search as thoroughly as I can, so you two should go meet the other people on the list.

**Sunny** Really?\nThanks Neil! But be careful in there!

**Neil** Don’t worry about me. I’ll see you in bit.

**Bright** Thanks for doing this, man. I appreciate it.

**Terrance’s Cafe**

**Terrance** Hi, how can I help you?

**Terrance** ..Oh?!

**Sunny** H-hello! Haha...

**Terrance** Good to see you guys! I'm sorry again for the thing that happened last time.

**Sunny** Yeah, I got tired of lemonade and wanted something else to drink today!

**Terrance** Sure! Have a seat.

**Sunny** Thank you!

**Sunny** ...Oh, what is this..?

**Sunny** Hey Bright, c’mere for a sec.

**Bright** What’s up?

**Sunny** Look at the menu.

**Bright** ...It’s literally the same as your lemonade stand’s!

**Bright** That’s not all. Look what’s written down at the bottom.

**Sunny** Home-made original menu! Only at Terrance’s Cafe!

**Sunny** What?! This is a total rip-off!

**Sunny** I’ll have to give him an earful about this!!

**Bright** Sunny, wait! We shouldn’t get on his bad side right now.

**Bright** Let’s play along and stir up a conversation first, okay?

**Sunny** Ugh... Fine. But afterwards, I’m ripping him a new one!!

**Sunny** One Lemon Sorbet, please.

**Bright** And a Lemon Ice cream for me!

**Terrance** Sure thing!

**Terrance** Those items might take a while, could you wait a little?

**Bright** Sure, no problem!

**Sunny** You know, we should hang out! I’m sure we’ve got lots to talk about running cafes.

**Sunny** Wow. You have more than one of these?

**Terrance** Not to brag, but I started cafes all over the world.

**Sunny** How did you end up on an island in the middle-of-nowhere then?

**Terrance** Well, it’s my home town.

**Sunny** What?!

**Bright** I’ve been living here my whole life, but we got to know each other just recently.

**Terrance** Oh, I left the island when I was young.

**Terrance** Well, more like evicted you could say.

**Sunny** Evicted? What do you mean?

**Terrance** Oh, sorry. A customer just came in.

**Terrance** Anyway, enjoy!

**Sunny** W-wait!

**Bright** We can’t go back empty handed. Let’s do some snooping before we go.

**Sunny** Sounds good!

**After their secret investigation**

**Bright** Look what I found! It’s a recipe book I found in the backyard bookshelf!

**Bright** All these recipes are yours, aren’t they?

**Sunny** Yes. But it’s all notes about how my menu tastes like.

**Bright** There’s something more.

**Bright** Look at this.

**Sunny** Huh?!

**Sunny** Fortress. Looks like a castle. No perfume.

**Sunny** Huh? No perfume? What’s that supposed to mean?

**Bright** Anyway, this guy’s also pretty suspicious.

**Bright** We can’t let our guard down!!

**Bright** Sunny, did you find anything?

**Sunny** I did, but it’s... weird.

**Bright** Weird?

**Bright** It looks like... what once was a teddy bear?

**Sunny** I don’t know, but something tells me this doesn’t belong here.

**Bright** I feel the same way. What’s this doing here anyway?

**Sunny** It looks like someone chewed...? And is this a fur?

**Terrance** Um, excuse me. But what do you think you’re doing? Why are you going through my stuff?

**Sunny** Oh, hahaha... Um...

**Terrance** Yes. I did steal your recipe.

**Sunny** Huh?!

**Terrance** But YOU stole from my family! How’s it feel to have something taken away from you!!

**Bright** I don’t know what you’re talking about.

**After listening to Terrance’s long rant...**

**Sunny** I, I didn’t know...

**Terrance** That’s why my family had to quit the lemon farm passed down through generations.

**Terrance** You should’ve just stuck with construction. Why did you have to compete with us?

**Terrance** It’s just another case of the rich stealing from the poor.

**Sunny** I really didn’t know...

**Sunny** But we’re also the victim here!

**Terrance** You, a victim? Have you no shame?

**Sunny** I’m telling the truth. We also wanted to keep doing construction!

**Sunny** But like your family, we got our business stolen by someone else too.

**Bright** You did?!

**Sunny** Yeah... We got framed for something we didn’t do.

**Sunny** After that, no one wanted to do business with us.

**Bright** Your grandmother must’ve had it hard...

**Sunny** Yeah, she blamed herself for ruining the family business.

**Terrance** Are you saying that justifies your family ruining mine?!

**Sunny** No! That’s not what I mean!

**Sunny** Grandma’s not the type to be so insensitive...

**Sunny** But she must’ve been too focused on protecting the family...

**Sunny** Since I know now, I’ll do whatever to help you out.

**Terrance** I don’t need your help. As you can see, I’m doing well, thank you very much.

**Terrance** All I want is for your grandmother to publicly apologize to my parents.

**Terrance** Your grandmother might not be the kind-hearted woman you think she is.

**Sunny** ...

**Sunny** Well, to tell you the truth...

**Sunny** Grandma’s gone missing.

**Terrance** What?! Did she finally come regret all the wrong things she’s done?

**Terrance** If so, I would also be too ashamed to show my face in public.

**Sunny** Hey! Now you’re just being insulting!

**Bright** Sunny. Take it easy. We still have more questions to ask.

**Sunny** Okay. I’ll let Grandma know as soon as we find her.

**Sunny** By the way, do you not like perfume by any chance?

**Sunny** It looked as though you were at my house for something important...

**Sunny** What were you doing at the fortress?

**Terrance** F-fortress? What’s that?

**Bright** I saw it written on your recipe book.

**Bright** No use playing dumb with us. We even have them photographed as evidence.

**Terrance** Th-that’s...! I just thought it was a beautiful building when I was on my way to your cafe!

**Terrance** I looked at it from afar, but never went inside it.

**Sunny** Then what does the “no perfume” mean?

**Terrance** P-perfume?

**Terrance** I-it’s for my cafe, okay?!

**Terrance** Pungent perfume makes the other customers feel uncomfortable...

**Terrance** Is that all? If so, please leave. I have work to do.

**Terrance** Seems like perfume isn’t the only thing making my customers feel unsafe here.

**Sunny** What did you just say?!

**Bright** Sunny, c’mon. Let’s go.

**Sunny** What a rude person.

**Bright** Tell me about it. But now, both Mr. Marco and Mr. Terrance feel like suspects.

**Sunny** I know!! Let’s head back to the house and see what Neil found inside the fortress.

**Sunny** Oops! I forgot to return this to him...

**Bright** Clumsy...

**Bright** I’ll return it to him later. Let’s head back to the house for now.

**Sunny** Okay!

**Bright** Neil must be waiting for us. Let's go.

**A few minutes later**

**Sunny** Neil?

**Bright** Neil, we’re back!

**Sunny** Neil? Where are you?

**Sunny** Neil, wher- huh?!

**Neil** Huff... Huff...

**Bright** Neil!!!

**Sunny** What happened?! How long have you been like this?!

**Bright** Are you okay?

**Neil** Huff... Kuh! Ugh...!!!

**Sunny** Quick, we need to call an ambulance!

**Sunny** A few moments later

**Bright** I feel terrible. He got hurt trying to help us...

**Sunny** I know... But are you sure we don’t need to be with him right now?

**Bright** There isn’t much time. We need to meet the last person on that list.

**Sunny** You’re right. I don’t know which one it is, but as soon as I catch this jerk...

**Sunny** I’m gonna make that person pay for what happened to Neil!!!

**In front of the Mayor’s Office**

**Bright** We're here!

**Sunny** Isn’t this the Mayor’s Office???

**Bright** Why are we here, Bright?

**Bright** Because of the third person on that list. It’s the mayor.

**Sunny** Whaaat?!

**Sunny** That mayor who's notorious for being incompetent?

**Bright** That's right. And she was elected just about a month ago.

**Bright** My dad set up an appointment on your name.

**Sunny** Alright. Let's go see her!

**Mayor’s Office**

**Allegra** I’m not normally available like this. Quite the luck you two have!

**Allegra** So, have you given some thought over that offer from before?

**Sunny** Offer?

**Allegra** Aren’t you here on behalf of your grandmother?

**Sunny** Uh... Well, the thing is...

**Bright** R-right! She’s here for that reason, and I’m just here as support.

**Allegra** Hmph! I knew it would end like this.

**Allegra** Why waste each other’s time when you were eventually going to accept the offer?

**Sunny** (I have no clue what you’re talking about...!)

**Bright** W-wait! I think I left something back at home.

**Allegra** What now?

**Bright** I mean, we can’t just come here empty handed, right?

**Bright** It’s back at my house, so could you wait until we come back with it?

**Allegra** Oh... Well, you didn’t have to do that. But if you insist... Hahaha!

**Bright** We’ll be back in no time!

**Sunny** Hey! What’s this all about?

**Bright** Can’t you see? The mayor was trying to make a deal with your grandmother.

**Bright** But if we say we don’t know about it, we won’t be able to get any more information.

**Bright** We need to act like we know what the deal is to get her talking.

**Bright** So, are you up for it?

**Sunny** Whoa... Good thinking, Bright!

**Sunny** You’re pretty bright!!!

**After buying flowers at the flower shop**

**Allegra** My, aren’t they beautiful!

**Allegra** So, I’m assuming it’s a yes from your grandmother?

**Sunny** O-of course! Haha...

**Allegra** Did you bring the documents too?

**Sunny** D-documents?!

**Bright** Oh yeah. It’s right here.

**Allegra** Perfect. I should’ve come to you guys instead of talking to her in the first place!

**Allegra** Wait. What’s this?!

**Allegra** What’s with all these recipes? Are you kidding me right now?!

**Allegra** I’m not in the mood for jokes, nor do I have the time!

**Allegra** Give me the deed, right now!!

**Sunny** Umm, actually, that’s kind of the reason why we’re here!

**Allegra** Huh?

**Sunny** The deed isn’t ready yet.

**Sunny** Looks like there’s some trouble at the office or something.

**Bright** R-right! I thought you might be waiting for it, so we came to keep you up to date.

**Allegra** How nice of you. Looks like your grandmother taught you well.

**Sunny** Um... May I ask why she’s giving you the deed? Grandma hasn’t really told us why.

**Sunny** W-what?!

**Sunny** Sh-she’s handing over the house to the city?!

**Allegra** Hmm? She hasn’t told you yet?

**Allegra** One family using up all of this land, that’s a huge waste for the island!

**Allegra** Donating the land back is for the greater good.

**Allegra** Excuse me, but I have a meeting to attend. Feel free to stay here for a while if you wish.

**Allegra** Even if it’s my office, it is made for all of our residents.

**Allegra** Remember, it’s for the greater good!

**Sunny** Sure! Thanks for your time!

**Allegra** Oh, and please hurry with the deed. I’m counting on you!

**The mayor and her secretary leave the office.**

**Sunny** Whoa... What did I just hear...?

**Bright** This is far worse than I had imagined...

**Bright** But now’s our chance! Let’s see what we can find out in this office!

**Sunny** O-okay... Let’s do this!!

**Bright** There’s nothing much here...

**Bright** A few documents. Very few personal possessions if at all.

**Bright** Maybe that’s why she was so confident in letting us stay without her.

**Sunny** Hold on...

**Sunny** I think I've found something!

**Sunny** I know her! It’s her!!!

**Bright** Huh?

**Sunny** The thing I said over at Terrance’s cafe.

**Sunny** The people who pushed my family out of business.

**Sunny** It’s her family! The mayor’s family!

**Bright** Whaaaat?!

**Sunny** It’s not for the greater good, she’s taking the house for herself!

**Bright** But what more is there to take from your family anyway?

**Bright** How greedy are these people?

**Sunny** Well...

**Sunny** That family had never beat us in anything.

**Sunny** Even way back, when kings ruled the lands, our family was always on top of them.

**Bright** They’ve been grinding that axe for a long time.

**Sunny** Now, they want to take everything from us!

**Bright** That’s so unfair!

**Sunny** I know... I shouldn't have let grandma go through this all alone.

**Sunny** Sunny...

**Sunny** Wait, what if the threat was locking Grandma up in the fortress?

**Sunny** And they made it so that she can never escape?

**Sunny** It’s all my fault!!

**Bright** Sunny, it’s not all your fault. The mayor is just rotten to the core!

**Bright** I’m sure Grandma’s someplace safe. Trust me!

**Bright** C’mon, let’s head back home.

**30 minutes later**

**Sunny** Hmm...

**Bright** What do we do now?

**Sunny** I’ve been thinking on my way over here... and I think I know who did this.

**Bright** What did you just say?!

**Sunny** The one who ruined the fortress, threatened us, and knocked out Neil!!

**Sunny** Also... maybe who made Grandma disappear.

**Sunny** I think I know who it is!!

**After everyone gathered in the house...**

**Terrance** What’s all this about?

**Marco** Bright, what’s going on here?

**Allegra** I’m here for the deed, but what are these people doing here?

**Sunny** Today, we all visited each of you for a reason.

**Sunny** I’ve called you all here because I have come to a conclusion.

**Marco** What are you talking about?

**Sunny** First, Mr. Marco?

**Sunny** When we were at your house, we found something.

**Marco** Th-that’s!

**Bright** On the bottom of this slipper, we found traces of all sorts of soil around this house.

**Bright** What were you doing outside wearing these?

**Sunny** I believe you wore them to not leave any footprints, but you should’ve just disposed them.

**Marco** N-no, that’s not true! I’ve never seen those slippers in my life!

**Marco** I’ve never been inside that house except when going to the Lemon Stand!

**Bright** Oh? Didn’t you say you went there to film?

**Marco** Umm, uhh...

**Marco** I-I mean!!

**Marco** You kept pestering me with questions! It’s your fault!

**Sunny** Also, you didn’t seem so fond of my grandmother, were you?

**Sunny** What’s more is that you even burned the postcard in front of us.

**Sunny** That postcard had something to do with Grandma, didn’t it?

**Marco** That’s nonsense!!

**Marco** I’m... I’m just a perfectionist, that’s all.

**Marco** I did it for my movie! Really. You have to believe me.

**Marco** The only crime I see is having a house that beautiful! Haha.

**Marco** First off, I’d like to apologize for my actions earlier. But I am not the guy you’re looking for!!

**Sunny** That’s for us to decide. But before that, we still have two more suspects.

**Bright** Mr. Terrance? I remember you telling me that you have a grudge against Sunny’s family.

**Terrance** Th-that’s...

**Bright** Also, you copied the entire menu of Lemon Cafe.

**Bright** You wanted Sunny to feel your pain of something being taken away, correct?

**Sunny** But is wasn’t enough, was it?

**Terrance** Where are you going with this?!

**Terrance** All right, I admit it. I went to the house a couple of times.

**Terrance** But it’s not for the reasons you’re thinking of!

**Terrance** It’s far from crime!!!

**Sunny** Care to explain?

**Sunny** What you did was trespassing and vandalizing. Here, we call those crimes.

**Terrance** That’s not what I meant...

**Terrance** Anyway, I can’t go into detail right now, but it’s not me...

**Terrance** You have to believe me! I’ll even shut down my cafe!

**Allegra** Funny. It’s like watching a soap opera.

**Allegra** Plus, it’s fun watching two adult men pleading like children.

**Sunny** Oh, didn’t you know, Mayor? You’re up next.

**Bright** Mayor, I heard you and Sunny’s family were rivals.

**Bright** Wasn’t it enough to push her family out of the business? What more is there to take?

**Sunny** Plus, threatening Grandma... That’s just unforgivable!!

**Allegra** Why am I doing this? That’s because her family ruined mine!!

**Allegra** All I did was get payback!!

**Allegra** Ha, it was worth to leave you guys at my office.

**Allegra** How did it feel when you found out that I'm from your rival family?

**Sunny** You got to be kidding me!

**Allegra** I enjoyed watching your little detective show.

**Allegra** But as you can see, I’m a busy person. I don’t have time to play with you.

**Allegra** So, farewell then! I’ll be going.

**Bright** Not so fast!

**Bright** I’m going to find the culprit who did this and make you all pay for you’ve done!!

**Sunny** According to my investigation and reasoning...

**Sunny** The culprit is...!!

**Choice: Marco**

**Sunny** Mr. Marco! It’s you!

**Marco** I’m telling you, it’s not me!!

**Marco** Bright, do you really think it’s me?

**Marco** Neil? Neil, where are you?!

**Sunny** Don’t play dumb! He’s in the hospital because of you!!

**Allegra** Ha! Funny how being famous comes at a price.

**Allegra** As mayor of the island, I will do everything in my power to bring justice to this criminal!

**Marco** You!!! Shut your mouth!

**Marco** Kids, listen to me, please! I’m not the person you’re looking for!!

**Marco** Yes, it’s true I visited that fortress a few times.

**Marco** But I got caught by your grandmother and that’s why we fought!

**Marco** That’s it! I swear!!!

**Sunny** Wow, you seem really upset. But it won’t work on me!

**Allegra** Movie directors are just as dramatic as their actors.

**Marco** Ahh... I’ve been framed! Please, you ha- ha, achoo!!!!

**Marco** Ugh... Why is fur flying everywhere?

**Sunny** Fur...? What's with the fur all day?!

**Neil** Guys!!!

**Sunny** Neil!!!

**Sunny** Neil, we were worried sick! Are you okay?

**Sunny** We were just about to make our arrest.

**Sunny** You see, we caught the culprit who hurt you!!

**Neil** Huh? Culprit?!

**Neil** Um... It was my allergies. It was pretty bad this time.

**Sunny** Allergies? What?

**Neil** Achoooooo!!!!

**Neil** Hey, Bright? You got a handkerchief I could borrow?

**Sunny** Huh? What’s this on the ground?

**Sunny** Footsteps??

**Marco** W-what?!

**Choice: Terrance**

**Sunny** Mr. Terrance! It’s you!

**Terrance** What’s are you talking about?

**Terrance** All I wanted was for you to have a taste of your own medicine.

**Terrance** I did not, and have not caused any more harm than that!

**Sunny** Maybe, but you still lied about not knowing where the fortress was.

**Sunny** Don’t you know that’s enough to make you a suspect?

**Sunny** We also have undeniable proof.

**Terrance** Th-that’s!

**Sunny** I used to play with this doll when I was little.

**Sunny** I knew it looked familiar the moment I saw it!!

**Bright** If I may, why do you have this? And why is it all torn up?

**Sunny** Tell me exactly what happened here!!

**Terrance** L-like I told you...

**Terrance** Th-there’s a reason, but I can’t say.

**Sunny** And we are here to expose the truth.

**Terrance** Um... So...

**Terrance** There’s something living there.

**Terrance** It’s been living there for years, and...!!

**Sunny** What do you mean by that?

**Terrance** I was too embarrassed to tell you!!

**Terrance** So, the thing that lives there is...

**Terrance** There’s a ca- ah, ah, achoo!!!!

**Neil** Guys!!!

**Sunny** Neil!! You’re all right! Just in time!

**Sunny** We were just about to make our arrest.

**Sunny** You see, we caught the culprit who hurt you!!

**Neil** Huh? Culprit?!

**Neil** Um... It was my allergies. It was pretty bad this time.

**Sunny** Allergies? What?

**Terrance** Achoooo!!! Ugh... Does anyone have any tissues?

**Sunny** Huh? What’s this on the ground?

**Sunny** Fur?!

**Choice: Allegra**

**Sunny** Mayor Allegra! It’s you!

**Allegra** Hmph! Unbelievable.

**Allegra** Didn’t I say this? I don’t have time for your silly games.

**Sunny** You have the clearest motive of the three.

**Sunny** Greed knows no bounds.

**Allegra** Yes, greed knows no bounds. But it’s just not me.

**Sunny** Easy for you to say.

**Sunny** Your family has always been scheming against us.

**Bright** I’ve heard about all the threats you made against my family.

**Sunny** But that wasn’t enough to put us down, was it?

**Sunny** You see, it’s not just about whether you win, it’s about how you win.

**Allegra** Oh, come on!!

**Sunny** You have abused your power as Mayor.

**Sunny** You threatened Grandma to hand over the deed by sending scary people to her home.

**Sunny** But it didn’t work as you planned, did it?

**Sunny** My Grandma has survived your family’s tyranny time and time again!

**Allegra** Oh, what a tear-jerking story!

**Allegra** I’ll admit it. I tried everything in my power to get my hands on this mansion. So what?

**Allegra** But seeing as her granddaughter's back in town, it looks like that’s not happening.

**Sunny** Of course not!!

**Allegra** Anyway, I have nothing to do with this fortress.

**Allegra** How would you believe?

**Allegra** Ah-ah-achoooo!!!!

**Allegra** Excuse me. That came out of nowhere.

**Neil** Guys!!!

**Sunny** Neil!! You’re all right! Just in time!

**Sunny** We were just about to make our arrest.

**Sunny** You see, we caught the culprit who hurt you!!

**Neil** Huh? Culprit?!

**Neil** Um... It was my allergies. It was pretty bad this time.

**Sunny** Allergies? What?

**Allegra** Ah-ah-achoooo!!!! Ugh, why can’t I stop sneezing?!

**Sunny** Huh? What’s going on?\n

**Sunny** Fur?!

**Bright** Sunny, did you hear that?

**Bright** That weird sound! It sounds like crying!! It’s coming from nearby the fortress!

**Sunny** Huh?

**Sunny** These footprints...

**Bright** I also hear something else.

**Sunny** Hold on. It sounds like... scratching?!

**Sunny** Wait.

**Bright** Could it be?!

**Sunny** Is this for real?!

**Sunny** The real culprit was...!!

**Sunny** A c-cat?!

## Tasks

**Note:** Due to the game's constant updates, the tasks on this page may not always be accurate. If you have any new information, feel free to go to the "Secret of the Fortress/Tasks" page and edit accordingly.

\*Marco is the best choice out of the 3 since his chain requires the easiest items.

## Strategy

* Whilst running the event, it is usually recommended to purchase one  Detective's Hat from the flash store, as it makes acquiring the  Pencil (L1) and  Beam Balance Part (L1) items much easier.
* It is good practice to empty all of the core generators as often as possible, even if you don't need drops from that chain right away. Having a few  A box of matches (L5) and  Microscope (L5) available makes it considerably easier to keep on top of production of items in later chains.
* One of every level of the Fragment of the Truth chain is required throughout the event. It is worth familiarising yourself with the items required in the last few tasks of the event so you can multitask (such as working on the  Somebody's Footprints (L8) and the  A Montage (L9) at the same time as the  Twelfth Truth (L12)).

## Energy Farming

Energy farming is a strategy which allows the user to produce additional energy at a rate faster than the usual recharge speed. This typically averages 400-500 Energy every 1h 54min, dependant on the levels and number of generators on the board.

* The first step is to clear the board as much as possible. Completing the event up until the first gift will cost around 300 energy and will take around 30 minutes to complete, netting rewards of 3700 Coins, 62 Jewels, and 140 Energy. Completing the event to the second gift will cost around 1300 energy and will take a couple hours to complete, netting rewards of 9800 Coins, 112 Jewels, and 260 Energy. It is not recommended to try completing the event from this point. See *Strategy* above for general advice for completing the event.
* While completing the event, keep any  Pencil (L1) that drop from the  Detective's Hat and merge these up to  Fountain Pen and note (L5). Tap these to drop the  A Piece of Paper (L1) , and merge these up to the  Diary (L5). Generators in this chain can be emptied partially before merging, so you should tap the  Diary (L5) 12 times before merging to the  Diary containing important records (L6). This can be tapped 16 times before merging to the  Diary full of guess and thoughts (L7), which can be emptied fully.
	+ These generators drop  Roll of Paper (L1) pieces. At level 6, these form the  Investigation Status Bulletin (L6), which generates 2 Energy every 1h 54min. The  Empty Montage (L7) drops 3 energy every 1h 54min, and higher levels continue to generate 3 energy but can stack an extra energy or two. The stacking is not usually useful here, and the energy taken to produce a single  Investigation Status Bulletin (L6) is not worth merging to the  Empty Montage (L7), so it is not advised to go above this level. Producing 32 of these is enough to produce 400 Energy, so is usually a good point to aim for.
* At the end of the event, you can use the 5 free extensions to collect another 2000+ Energy, and after this there is very little to do beyond selling all the generators. Merging the 32  Investigation Status Bulletin (L6) up and selling gains an extra 1720 Coins.
