The Cat's Cradle.

Nyahahaha! It's finally time... for the FINAL BOSS to appear!

Did you use your thinking time wisely? I sure hope so! 'cause now's the time to answer the witch, you know?
You remember the riddle, don't you?



Twelve guests, and twelve treats. Which treat belongs to whom? Right now, only the witch knows the answer!

Wait, don't tell me you need more hints? But you had so much time to think...
Well, I COULD tell you what I know if you really want me to. But this really is the end!
After we're done here, you must answer the witch, so listen carefully to my WISDOM.

View newly acquired hints.

#1: The Vendors

"Rumor has it that a hardworking, ruthless businesswoman was present in the mansion, attempting to sell as many GALACTIC BISCUIS OF LOVE as possible. But even though she's the creator of said biscuit, she does not like her own product all that much!"

#2: The SECRET Treat

"Remember those coffee beans? Actually, they're made from chocolate shaped like beans!!! They're really SWEET and have never been BITTER."

#3: The Actual Objective Best Candy

"...Is gummykitties. Specifically the pink ones. You're STUPID if you like the red gummies, or any animal that isn't an ADORABLE kitty."

Didya listen well? You got all of that? Great! Because, ehehe...
One of the three "facts" I gave you is actually a total lie! Mwahahahahahameow!
Good luck figuring out which one that is! Meoweeeehehehehe!

Five: Prepare to answer.


Uwah... Five got a trick, not a treat! But it's okay... not everything was lie, right?

Actually, Five feels really confident! Definitely, can answer correctly now! Let's go tell the witch!

And then... everyone will get treats together! No more tricks!

Are you ready? Respond to the witch in the comment section to submit your FINAL answer. <-

This answer assumes that all of Mei's hints are correct, but one of them is a lie.

Incorrect. This answer assumes the lie was #2, and that the coffee beans are real coffee beans.

This is because if the coffee beans were actually sweets, there would be no non-candy treat to give to the person Kaji talks about (who doesn't like sweets) when talking about his friends.

As such, we can use hint #1 to determine that Selene is the hard-worker, and Lune is the one who doesn't like sweets.

Therefore, Lune is the one who eats coffee beans, as the only item that isn't a sweet. Selene is then given the lollipop.

If number two is a lie, then the coffee beans are the one bitter item.
If you reread the Licorice's description you will see that it calls it sweet, as well.

The multiple described flavors of the Licorice match Lune's ability, and Kotori stated that Suvillan likes bitter treats.

You're also assuming that Lune is the one who doesn't like sweets, and that Selene is the hard worker. If they are the other way around though, Lune can be the sweet Licorice, and Selene can be the Salted Toffee, as in Reader's comment.

  1. Little Sweetie: Five because she deserves all the candy in the world.
  2. Salted Caramel Toffee: Five because her hunger deserves to be satiated by the most exquisite of treats.
  3. Galactic Biscuit of Love: Five because she is still growing to be strong and healthy.
  4. Moonie Rolls: Five because she would appreciate the beloved candies of the past.
  5. Seasaltwater Taffy: Five because her visits require the local favorites to complete.
  6. Straightforward Wafers: Five because she will appreciate the deliciousness of simplicity.
  7. Candyunicorn: Five because good children deserve more sugar as a treat.
  8. Monday Lollipop: Five because Super Boss deserves a break for all the hard work she puts in.
  9. Peanut Delight: Five because she deserves the rarest of candies for being a good child.
  10. Gummykittens: Five because she understands the importance of color to the quality of candy.
  11. Coffee Beans: Five because Super Boss needs all the energy she can get to perform her super-duper-important job.
  12. Luxury Black Licorice: Five because she must be rewarded with only the most luxurious, most exotic, and most classy treats.

These are objectively correct and no one can contest that.

This is tough for me... I feel like I should offer an opinion that is different from other people's just so we cover the most amount of ground, but I just can't see it any other way than this:

  1. Little Sweetie: Kotori
  2. Salted Caramel Toffee: Reed
  3. Galactic Biscuit of Love: Nino
  4. Moonie Rolls: Aria
  5. Seasaltwater Taffy: Kaji
  6. Straightforward Wafers: Solis
  7. Candyunicorn: Prince Ruit
  8. Monday Lollipop: Selene
  9. Peanut Delight: Corona
  10. Gummykitties: Meimona
  11. Coffeebeans: Lune
  12. Luxury Black Licorice: Prince Suvillan

My thoughts are still a bit jumbled from being dragged around by the mouse, so my guess ends up being a bit difficult to understand:

VIII = 6
IV = 2
XI = 8
II = 4
VII = 9
XII = 5
III = 10
V = 12
IX = 7
VI = 1
X = 11
I = 3

I must repay my savior, lend me the weapons that hold the trappings of being effective against hunters and mice. If you have a way to end the existence of mimes as well I would be glad to use it for the knight.

Hi, yeah, could I get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... can I get um... Can I get the biggest axe you have? I heard that I can get my very own Solis for laying down my life in the name of evil.

Now that I think about it though, I'd feel bad betraying Selene's team after recieving such a precious item from her... What do you think I should do?

Not so far as I know! I think we're just equally inspired when it comes to choosing usernames.

Thanks for the advice, but it apparently makes the post too long when I do that. (When I try to post, I get a popup saying "Input is too long.") I'm not signed up for any sort of account; I'm not sure if that's the source of the problem.

No, I'm the same there and that's not an issue for me, but i think I realize the reason why.

When I drag an image, the word count on the upper-right decreases by the thousands, so images take up more space than individual characters.

Some images can be dragged and some can't, though I have no idea what constitutes how much space is lost. But I feel like that's at least the root of the problem.

#2 Is the lie. It is the only one that contradicts what the witch said, and The Final Boss's praising of the pink kitties shows her favoring them. She does not seem to be like The Guy who believes in properly using the terms "Objectively" and "Literally" in the correct fashion. We have not seen that skeleton enjoy her biscuits, and she does not seem to be as hardworking as the mime. May this be the righteous and just truth, shown by the blessing of Divine Providence.

This whole event has been a blast for me, so thank you to everyone who had a hand in creating it and thank you to all the other commenters for making the party so lively!

Also, Kaji's outfit was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. (I love you Kaji)

You're now free from the mouse's grasp. And, it seems like she's so focused on her murderous quest that she didn't even notice!

It's too bad your NAIL is completely fake. Otherwise you could've done this sooner.

The mime has gone off to inspect the other people in the room. It looks like that hallway just ended up leading back to the same room everyone else went to! What kind of nonsense mansion is this, anyway?

comment image

Whatever. You get the feeling the mouse will come back for you when she realizes the agent isn't here. You need to find someplace to hide, and fast.

Where could you - Oh!

There's a CAT sitting in that doorway over there.

This must be a good omen! You're sure this path will lead to safety.

Before you leave, you take a second to leave your old nail back where the sword was. Hopefully that shady merchant will consider this as payment. You really don't need another angry guest after you.
