ハナマルキ sort of makes sense since the girl is offering some soup.
You should get a second opinion - or the 3rd....

mikkih, do you think it could be ハナアルキ after all? It would sort of fit into the overall flow. Liver of a hanaaruki, a non-existent animal, perfect for a witch's brew. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/鼻行類 This witch is going to mention a gigantelope later on. Well, if you're sure it's ma and no a, I'll go with the company name.

ハラワタハナアルキ属 is listed under 地鼻類, so ア is correct.
The first line is probably some type of an imaginary animal as well. Dried whatever....
タダノトルキ、タダノトッキ、タタシトッキ、タタシトルキ....　I have no idea.....

(There is something called タダハナアルキ, but it is not it....)

Can anyone identify the kanji above 方 and 心? They're the only two I can't make out.

「貴方は熱心なので医者の私も助かります。」

Am I reading these kanji right? 栖風台 Also, what's the reading of this compound? Should I just go with on-yomis, something like Seifuudai?

Spoiler

 

[Mr. Prince]

The middle kanji does not seem to be right. Pretty sure it's 栖鳳台. As for the reading I'd go with "Seihoudai" but I'm not sure. Better wait what mikkih-mama says...

The second kanji is 鳳. I would read it the way my son(?) suggested.

Me again XD, this time I'm having troubles with this sentence
I think the first two kanjis are 日旺, but that doesn't mean anything, and I can't seem to find a name or something written like that, any ideas?

日曜なのにごめんね!

日:correct
旺：日+玉　abbreviated character for 曜 in hand writing

 

[Eru13]

Thanks a lot again mikkih, I would've never understood that if you didn't tell me.

 

[mikkih]

Abbreviated characters are often hard, but just go with the context.

The way you could handle this type of problems would be:

1) I can't read: 「日Xなのにごめんね！」
2) Let's check dictionaries.
3) Can't find it....
4-a) What would X be starting 日　in the context. なのに：even though/ごめんね：Sorry
5-a) The word must be 日曜 based on the context! or
4-b) The character must be abbreviated since I can't find it in the dictionary. The left side (radical) of kanji usually doesn't get abbreviated.
5-b) Let's think what kanji I know with 日 on the left side...　Maybe I'll need to check kanji dictionaries to see the list of kanji... Hmmm

I would say.... 続けるの？（Are you going to continue?）

Re: [JP] Can't identify this kanji?

If I'm reading it right, it should be: 馴れたところが嫌なのだ!!
