My Bewitching Perfume Walkthrough

I couldn't find a walkthrough for this game so I decided to make my own. 😂😂😂

Any help would be appreciated! :)

I only have Teppei's and Takeru's routes for now. Text is being added as I go.

I found a Japanese walkthrough for Teppei and am now filling the choices with the English translation from my playthrough. Just finished this! Got his Super Happy End as well. :D [Jan 24, 2018]

Update: I got Takeru's Super Happy End! (You can only choose one ending at a time. I picked the Super Happy Ending after Chapter 19; this option cost 5 hearts.) [Dec. 11, 2017]

Another Update: I found CG's posted by someone called Seyron here! They even have event CGs! [Spoilers, obviously.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choose a route!

Teppei Shidou
Takeru Hiruma
Rei Kirishima
Naomi Kaida

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Teppei Shidou


1.6 'That's right. Are you okay with all these strange new terms?'
          My determination will get me through.
          To be honest, I'm worried.
          Be evasive.

2.11 'You're so dedicated.'
          I don't feel motivated at work.
          I want to learn about perfume ASAP.
          I'm not that dedicated.

3.1 [So, um... what do you think of a man who likes cake?] 'Huh? Um...'
          We'd have a lot in common.
          I think it's okay.
          That is a bit weird.

4.5 'Okay then... Are you prepared to devote yourself to me, body and soul?'
          Of course!
          I can't.
          Let me think about it.

5.7 [Wait a minute... Did my dad say something?] Um... (Uh-oh... How should I answer that?)
          Change the subject.
          Be honest.
          Tell him the president has nothing to do with it.

6.8 'Anya, what are you doing? Trying to make me jealous?'
          No.
          Of course I want you to be jealous.
          This doesn't concern you.

7.7 (Lunch with Shido... Oh my god...)
          I don't want to disturb you...
          Can I really?
          I don't want people to talk...

8.6 U-um...
          Yes, he would be perfect!
          His opinion matters most.
          But is he okay with me as his bride?

9.2 'Well...'
          Obediently go with him.
          Calmly stand still.
          Let go of his hand so people won't gossip.

10.5 'I thought so. What woman wouldn't be captivated. What did you think of it?
          I was jealous.
          It was refreshing and dazzlingly intense.
          Too bitter to say anything.

11.2 'Motives vary from person to person. Humor me, whom do you find the least suspicious?'
          Shido and Hiruma.
          Kirishima and Kanoura.
          Everyone on the project.

12.2 (Maybe I could ask him? Or maybe that wouldn't be proper...)
          What a beautiful restaurant.
          Do you come here often?
          Who do you usually bring here?

13.7 'What kind of perfume? Hmm...'
          A sweet scent, purely of rose.
          A refreshing scent of the ocean.
          A special, addictive scent.

14.5 'You're having a hard tome processing all this information, I gather?'
         To be honest, my mind is jumbled.
         I'm okay.
         Are you okay?

15.6 ['You're not okay. Tell me the truth.'] 'Um...'
         Tell him you're okay.
         Tell him you just got head-rush.
         Tell him it's nothing.

16.4 'What will you do if you find out who the mole is?'
         I'll never forgive him.
         Maybe he's being blackmailed?
         I'll ask him why.

17.7 'Want to come to the Bridal Department to eat it with us?'
         No thanks, I'm too busy.
         No thanks, I don't want to go.
         Go with him.

18.1 ['How do you feel about Teppei?'] 'I...'
         I love him.
         He's out of my reach.
         He makes my heart ache.

19.11 'But I probably shouldn't have even told you about this.'
         I'm glad to help.
         You're different now.
         I've known all along.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Takeru Hiruma


1.8 'Is there something wrong with that?'
          Not at all!
          That's not what I meant...
          That must have been hard to read so late at night.

2.5 '...Are you not interested in development?'
          That's not what...
          I'm sorry...
          I prefer the bridal department...

3.6 [You should stop working overtime.] 'Huh?' I feel confused since I don't know why I should stop.
          Why?
          Okay.
          Aren't you working overtime too though?

4.8 (Uh... What should I talk about with him?)
          Did you have lunch already?
          Are you taking a nap?
          I hope you're able to focus on your work.

5.3 'We're going to this exhibit tomorrow.'
          All right.
          Huh? We're going together?
          I can't tomorrow.

6.8 (I've heard the rumors about this place. So this is where it is...)
          I've always wanted to come here.
          This place is amazing.
          It reminds me of the bridal department.

7.1 Hiruma notices that I had unconsciously stopped walking, and looks at me with an annoyed expression.
          I'll be careful.
          Don't worry.
          I'm not confident.

8.8 'Do you have a problem with it?'
          I'm just a bit surprised.
          No!
          Are you sure?

9.1 'I have to go to a meeting now. Are you going to be much longer?'
          I'll be done soon.
          Do you need something?
          I won't be done anytime soon.

10.3 (Y/N), are you enjoying your work? 'Huh?'
          I am.
          It's okay.
          I don't enjoy it at all.

11.6 Hiruma looks at me with concern.
          What do you mean?
          I'm fine.
          I'm just a bit tired...

12.7 'What do you want to do?'
          I'd love to.
          What do you want to do?
          I wonder if it tastes any good...

13.6 'This actually makes you happy, doesn't it?'
          No, it doesn't.
          I'm not happy.
          I guess a little...

14.3 ['Also, I have a meeting now. Can you clean up?'] Hiruma looks at the clock in the development room while asking me.
          Sure.
          What's the meeting for?
          Leave it to me!

15.9 ['You can shower here.'] Hiruma says with a serious expressoin on his face.
          Huh...?
          Sorry...
          Thank you.

16.9 '...How about we go together?'
          Huh...? With me?
          Did you want to talk about something...?
          Did something happen?

17.2 'Would me leaving be that big of a deal for you?'
          How could it not be?
          Of course it would be a big deal!
          Not really...

18.5 '...What are you laughing about?'
          Don't worry about it.
          I was just thinking how cute you are.
          You're being so different from how you usually are.

19.3 '... Do you want me to let you go?'
          What do you want to do?
          Please let me go.
          No...

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
(Hint Coins and Hidden Items)

I got this game the month it came out then proceeded to put off playing this game for three years because I was waiting for the hint coin running count to be completed (here).
Eventually got back into it late last year when I thought it was done, but it still isn't up til now so...
I made my own hint coin count (and added the list of hidden items for good measure). This list follows the order the puzzles are solved in this walkthrough so the puzzle numbers are a bit... odd. (As of writing, who knows, they may update that after I post this.)
Also, this is the only PL game where you can't permanently miss any hint coins! (Good luck finding which one you missed once you play through the whole thing and find you have 299 hint coins, though.)
