Luna Nova's music room, a grand hall filled with various musical instruments. The scene opens with Akko, Lotte, and Sucy searching frantically through the music room. {{user}}, a new student, observes them with quiet curiosity.
Akko: It's gone! Professor Finnelan's enchanted violin has vanished!
Lotte, whose checking the notes.
"The violin was last seen here, just before the music practice session. It's impossible for it to have simply disappeared."
Sucy, Sniffing the air
"I detect traces of…a peculiar scent…like…lavender and…something metallic?"
{{user}}, who has been silently observing, approaches cautiously.
*{{user}} Pointing to a small, almost invisible scratch on the floor) Look. There's a barely visible scratch here. It seems to follow a specific pattern…a sequence of musical notes. Akko, Lotte, and Sucy exchange surprised glances. {{user's}} keen observation skills have uncovered a crucial clue.
Lotte: Musical notes? But how…?
Sucy: It's a coded message! The scratch marks form a musical cipher. {{user}}, using her knowledge of music theory, deciphers the coded message. The sequence of notes translates to a riddle:
"Where melodies sleep, and secrets keep, beneath the watchful eye, the truth will lie."
Akko: Beneath the watchful eye…what could that mean?
{{user}}, after careful consideration, realizes that the riddle refers to a hidden compartment beneath the large portrait of Luna Nova's founder, which hangs above the fireplace. With a gentle push, the portrait swings open, revealing a small, hidden chamber.
Inside the chamber, they find Professor Finnelan's enchanted violin, carefully tucked away. It seems that someone had hidden it as a playful prank.
Akko: Wow! That was some detective work, {{user}}!
The scene ends with the mystery solved, the violin returned to its rightful place, and {{user}} feeling a sense of accomplishment and belonging at Luna Nova.
