Count Heinz was murdered, something Kafka and Fiona didn't expect. This is a serious matter, since it seems to involve Deadlock, a criminal group. It's so serious that Kafka wants to speak with the Queen. Fiona comes along because he recommended it to her.
(Dong)… (Dong)… (Dong)
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
(Patch!) (Patch!) (Patch)
Both looked furious. Count Heinz was more like a good buddy to the two of them.
Kafka: "They will regret this."
Fiona: "Whoever it was, whether Deadlock or another criminal group…"
Kafka: "They'll pay for it."
Soldier: "What do you want here?"
Kafka: "My name is Wolf Amedous Kafka. Beside me is Fiona Philomela Househould. We want to speak with the Queen because of the murder of our boss, Count Heinz."
Fiona: "Well… boss isn't exactly right. More like a mentor…"
Soldier: "Oh… I understand…"
He went inside, then came back out.
Soldier: "Hmm… alright. The Queen is sleeping… but it's important, so you can still go in."
Kafka: "Thank you very much."
Fiona: "Mhm."
They went inside.
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Kafka: "Hmm?"
It was a huge castle.
Ludwig: "Hello…"
(Patch!) (Patch)
Ludwig: "I don't know who you are. How can I help?"
Kafka knelt down, and Fiona did too, sighing while doing it.
Kafka: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Ow… my back…"
Kafka: "Ghh… Fiona…"
Ludwig: "Mmmmm… pff… hahahahahaha… alright, alright. Stand up, you two."
They stood up.
Kafka: "(Sweating)…"
Fiona: "Sorry, I'm not used to this."
Ludwig: "You don't have to. I'm not the King anyway, my daughter is. How can I help you?"
Kafka: "I am Wolf Amedeous Kafka. This is Fiona Philomela Househould. We both worked for Count Heinz… well, shortly before his death we started…"
Ludwig: "I understand…"
Kafka: "We came to tell you something important… the Dark Bride has awakened."
Ludwig: "Ugh… is that true?"
Fiona: "We're sorry. We tried to stop it, but apparently one drop of blood was enough…"
Ludwig: "Hmm… well, that doesn't matter… I already know that."
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Then why did you look surprised?"
Ludwig: "Just like that, hahaha. I wanted to take the serious situation seriously, but the Dark Bride… well… she's here… and she's even in the guest room."
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "What?"
Ludwig: "She wanted to speak with me. Come with me, you two."
They followed him. He went to a room.
Ludwig: "Count Heinz being dead truly shocked us… but unfortunately, because he was such a kind hearted Count, the other nobles and Counts were not really pleased with him…"
Fiona: "Do you think someone planned it… one of the nobles or other Counts?"
Ludwig: "Well… I can't really say that… those are serious accusations… and if we accuse an innocent person… then someone died for nothing…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Kafka: "That's true… probably…"
He opened the door. The Dark Bride and Gerrard were there.
Lilly: "Oh… hello, Kafka. Hello, Fiona."
Ludwig: "Oh, you already know each other."
Kafka: "Hmm? Yes… she spoke with us yesterday."
Fiona: "Mhm."
Ludwig: "I understand…"
Lilly: "I came here to tell the Queen that I am not a threat to her…"
Ludwig: "Hmm… why would the Dark Bride do that, just come here? You are strong enough to kill me right now, and the soldiers too…"
Lilly: "Oh, come on. I'm a pacifist. I don't do that… if I truly had evil plans, you'd all be dead already."
Ludwig: "A good, fair point. Oh, Kafka, sit down. You too, Fiona."
They sat down.
Ludwig: "You must understand… Count Heinz being dead was shocking. But as if that wasn't bad enough, rumors have been spread… look at these photos."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
They were foot photos of his daughter.
Kafka: "Uh?"
Fiona: "Uhm…"
Lilly: "Huh?"
Ludwig: "Huh, oops… I mean look at these… (cough)…"
He put down the photo of Count Heinz and someone else.
Kafka: "Who is that next to Count Heinz?"
Fiona: "Don't know."
Ludwig: "According to a report… Count Heinz was supposedly a spy for Demari."
Kafka: "Nonsense. That's not true."
Fiona: "Is there proof that the guy next to Count Heinz is who you say he is?"
Ludwig: "Unfortunately, yes… his name is Peter Riters. He worked for years in Demari… but… he was found dead shortly after that photo…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Kafka: "Huh?"
Lilly: "Uh?"
Ludwig: "More precisely, he was found dead in his room with a gunshot… right… through the eye… like his idol Rasputin…"
Fiona: "Rasputin?"
Ludwig: "Exactly."
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Lilly: "Ah, I see…"
Kafka: "But why would Count Heinz be a spy? That can't be…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Ludwig: "That's exactly what we want to find out… what Count Heinz was really doing. I don't think he betrayed us. He would never do that. He loves this kingdom…"
Fiona: "But you don't think these might just be rumors, do you?"
Ludwig: "Could be."
Fiona: "Wrong."
Ludwig: "Hm?"
Fiona: "I worked for Dark Umbrella. For three years I was the spy of a noble family… from age 14 to 17 I infiltrated a family in Weimarer, the Salvatores."
Ludwig: "Ugh… what?"
Fiona: "There were rumors they were involved in multiple crimes. Eisenhauer helped me… and by coincidence, their daughter went to the same school… I know exactly how a spy would act. I was one myself."
Ludwig: "Did you kill the Salvatores…"
Fiona: "…Yes."
Ludwig: "Ugh!"
Kafka: "You did?"
Fiona: "I killed them… but I couldn't kill the daughter. She was very young… no matter how much I needed to… so I left her with Eisenhauer."
Ludwig: "I see… so you killed the Salvatores… how did you do it?"
Fiona: "I killed Stefan Salvatore by slitting his throat… his wife, who enjoyed abusing children… I let her bleed out in a bath. It was my job, and I did it… and… do you want to arrest me?"
Ludwig: "Technically I should… but evidence was found that the Salvatores were involved in human trafficking… and many crimes… why didn't you kill the daughter?"
Fiona: "I don't kill children. It was an order to kill her… but I couldn't. It's pointless… and solves nothing. The daughter is named Renni Salvatore… I don't know if Eisenhauer still had her or if she's old enough now…"
Ludwig: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Ludwig: "I understand… and why do you think that photo of Count Heinz, and the claim he was a spy, are not just rumors?"
Fiona: "I think those rumors were made to confuse the people… whoever is behind it wants to damage Count Heinz's image even after his murder."
Kafka: "Ugh… I get it. That's what I thought too…"
Fiona: "The photo is real, but it proves nothing. It could've just been a business meeting. It could be that Count Heinz didn't know him. It could be that Peter Riters was a spy who wanted to spy on Count Heinz. Count Heinz was smart, but he was constantly busy… so this photo could simply exist because Peter Riters wanted to meet him and Count Heinz had no time to refuse…"
Kafka: "I think it's possible Count Heinz knew him and wanted him dead."
Fiona: "I'm not sure… that's possible, but Count Heinz was always against violent measures… would he really have someone killed like that?"
Lilly: "I think Kafka is right, and you too, Fiona. It could be that Count Heinz didn't know him… but it could also be that Count Heinz ordered him killed. What if he found out… that Peter Riters was a spy, and he wanted to get rid of him?"
Fiona: "Yeah… that makes sense…"
Kafka: "True."
Lilly: "Hehe."
(Meanwhile)
Duncen: "(Smoking)… hahhh…"
(Patch!) (Patch)
Duncen: "There you are… finally… Renni… Salvatore…"
Renni: "Hmm… I heard Fiona is here…"
Duncen: "Yes… it's time to kill the murderer of your parents…"
Renni: "Hmm… Fiona Hamilton…"
Duncen: "Wrong. Fiona Househould. Hamilton was the name of her foster parents…"
Renni: "I don't care. I'll kill her… for what she did to me…"
Duncen: "Didn't she spare your life?"
Renni: "Yes… but she took my parents from me… Lesli Salvatore and Stefan Salvatore… my parents… they didn't deserve to die…"
Duncen: "Hmm… anyway… there's a girl Fiona Househould takes care of. Her name is Cossette. She is 11 years old. Kill her."
Renni: "Okay…"
Duncen: "Hmm? You're willing to kill a child?"
Renni: "Age is just a number… I don't care if it's a child or not. If it hurts Fiona, it's a win… (No one… no one… is allowed to be with Fiona after me… I thought she loved me…)"
(Memory)
Renni: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Good girl…"
(End of memory)
Renni: "Ghhh… Fiona Househould… you're dead. I'll make sure of it…"
(One hour later)
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Barbara: "Hello… I am the Queen…"
Kafka: "Greetings, Your Majesty…"
Fiona: "Hey…"
Barbara: "Hmm? Dad… why didn't she say 'Your Majesty'? Isn't that forbidden?"
Kafka: "Fiona… you'll get in trouble if you don't say 'Your Majesty'…"
Fiona: "Hmm? I don't like calling a child 'Your Majesty.' I'm still older than her."
Barbara: "Ugh… what disrespect! Dad, I don't like her…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Barbara: "Hmph… you should kiss my hand, then maybe I'll forgive you."
Fiona: "It's 'you,' not 'your.' As Queen you should speak better…"
Barbara: "Ugh… hahhh… (blushes)…"
Fiona: "Also, a Queen shouldn't show up in pajamas. That's not proper. Article three of Weimarer rights: the Queen herself must appear in respectful clothing. A good Queen ensures good behavior. Weimarer would be in crisis if you behave like this."
Barbara: "Ugh… mmm…"
She sat down.
Barbara: "Hmph…"
Fiona: "Hahhhh… can I leave now?"
Ludwig: "Sure… you may, Mrs. Fiona Househould…"
Barbara: "Dad?"
Ludwig: "That's enough, Barbara…"
Fiona: "Good, then I'm leaving. Excuse me, Miss Barbara, but you're sitting on my jacket."
Barbara: "I'm not standing up. I'll keep sitting until you kiss my hand."
Fiona: "Hmm…"
(Smack!)
Fiona slapped Barbara. The guards pulled out their weapons.
Ludwig: "Stop, stop, stop… okay… okay…"
Barbara: "Ugh… hahhh…"
Fiona: "I don't want it anymore. Keep it."
Barbara: "Ugh… hahhh…"
Fiona left the castle.
Kafka: "Ughhh… hahh…"
Kafka's mouth was wide open.
Kafka: "Dude… she… she slapped the Queen…"
Ludwig: "Pff… hahahahaha… hahahahahaha…"
Barbara: "Dad!"
Barbara stood up and stormed off.
Kafka: "Uh…"
Ludwig: "Woow… that's exactly what my daughter needed… hahahahahaha… maybe it will teach her manners… hahaha… I love this girl, Fiona Househould… hahaha…"
Kafka: "Aren't you angry…?"
Ludwig: "My daughter wasn't polite… hahaha… honestly I should apologize to Fiona for this. Kafka, please take your things, and don't forget her jacket. It's good if my daughter learns to behave once in a while…"
(Meanwhile)
Fiona: "Hmph… kids can be so disrespectful… Cossette is at least cute and nice. Now I know why kids get on my nerves. I just can't understand it…"
Kafka: "Fiona, wait, hey…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
He ran after her.
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Oh good… I was already worried you'd get murdered…"
Kafka: "What… what was that?"
Fiona: "She was rude."
Kafka: "You… you can't just slap a Queen…"
Fiona: "I don't care. She was rude."
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Give me the jacket."
Kafka: "Oh… right. Here…"
Fiona: "Thanks."
Kafka: "Mm…"
Fiona took it and wiped it with her hand.
Kafka: "Mm?"
Fiona: "That's disgusting… just sitting on my jacket with her short pants. Doesn't she know how many bacteria that could have… that's disgusting. I'll need an hour to wash it. If I'm unlucky she doesn't even wipe her butt…"
Kafka: "(Sweating)…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Barbara: "Hey."
Kafka: "Huh…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Kafka: "Ugh…"
It was the Queen.
Barbara: "I heard that. I wash my butt, okay!"
Fiona: "Well, congratulations. Excuse me, I'm leaving."
Barbara: "Wait!"
Barbara ran up and stood in front of her.
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
Barbara: "That hurt… the slap… that was mean…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Barbara: "I… I… I mean it… mmm…"
Fiona: "Oh, you poor little thing. Do you need a kiss on the cheek?"
Barbara: "What?… mmm…"
Fiona: "Excuse me."
Barbara: "Hey… hey… wait…"
Barbara stumbled.
Barbara: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Hmm!"
Barbara closed her eyes… but noticed she was fine. Fiona grabbed her quickly.
Barbara: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "You should watch where you're walking…"
Barbara: "Ugh…"
Fiona helped her stand.
Barbara: "Hmm… (pouting)…"
Fiona: "Alright, I'm leaving now."
Barbara: "En… excuse me…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Barbara: "(Blushing)… sorry… for… for… my behavior… and… and… thanks…"
Fiona: "(Sweating)… if it's that hard, then don't force yourself."
Barbara: "I'm trying to be nice…"
Fiona: "Apology accepted."
Barbara: "Mmm… should I wash your jacket…"
Fiona: "No thanks. I'll do it myself…"
Barbara: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Barbara: "My cheek still hurts…"
Fiona: "Well… it won't take long until the pain is gone."
Barbara: "Huh?"
Fiona walked away. Barbara followed.
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hahhh… what now?"
Kafka: "Hmm?"
Barbara: "Wait a second, stand exactly there."
Fiona: "Huh?"
Kafka: "Hmm?"
Barbara: "Now!"
(Splash!)
Barbara: "Hehehe…"
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Barbara threw dirty stuff like old oil and food on her.
Kafka: "Ugh… what!"
Barbara: "Hahahahaha… hahahahahaha…"
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Barbara: "Hehehe… did you really think I would forgive you?"
Fiona: "Mmmm…"
Kafka: "Uh… Fiona…"
Fiona: "Ghhhh…"
Fiona clenched her fist.
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Tssss…"
Barbara: "Huh?"
Fiona held herself back and just kept walking.
Barbara: "Wait… you're not angry?"
Fiona: "I don't have time for this."
Barbara: "Wait…"
Barbara stepped in front of her, and then she saw it. Fiona had tears.
Barbara: "Huh… oh… no…"
Fiona: "Ghh…"
Kafka: "Ugh… Fiona… why are you crying now…?"
Fiona shoved them both away.
Fiona: "Leave me alone…"
Barbara: "Ugh…"
(A few minutes later)
Kafka and Barbara searched for Fiona. But Fiona was already near a lake, trying to clean her clothes.
Fiona: "Damn… this dress was from him… please… get clean… please…"
This was the dress Remy gave Fiona. Fiona wore only her undershirt.
Fiona: "Mmm…"
She looked at it, but there were still stains.
Fiona: "Ghhhhhh…"
She stood up and was about to leave, but right behind her were Kafka and Barbara.
Kafka: "Fiona…"
Barbara: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Tsss… what do you two want… huh?"
Barbara: "Hey… sorry, Fiona… that… that was my fault…"
Fiona: "Tsss… just go. I don't have time for this…"
Barbara: "Wait…"
(Click!)
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Huh!"
Fiona shoved Barbara aside quickly, and at that exact moment a shot fired that hit Fiona in the stomach. Then a second shot hit her in the chest.
(Bang… bang!)
Barbara: "Aaahhh!"
Kafka: "No… Fiona!"
Fiona: "Urk…"
Kafka: "Hahh…"
Fiona fell to the ground.
Kafka: "Damn it, who was that?"
He turned around, but then rushed back to Fiona, who was badly hit.
Kafka: "Ugh… Fiona, come on… Holle's blood can heal you… right…?"
Fiona: "Urk… Kafka… the… bullet wounds… are… poisoned…"
Kafka: "Ugh!!"
Barbara: "Huh… get her to the hospital! Call one! What are you waiting for!"
Kafka: "Yes… I will!"
He ran off.
Barbara: "Hahhh…"
Fiona: "Urk… hahhh…"
The wounds healed, but only a little, far too slowly.
Barbara: "Hhh…"
Fiona: "Ugh… hahhh… you should get out of here…"
Barbara: "I'm sorry… it's my fault…"
Fiona: "Are you stupid… I said get out of here… ugh… huh!"
Barbara: "Huh…"
A person appeared with a pistol aimed at Barbara.
Barbara: "Huh…"
Fiona: "Tssss…"
Barbara: "No…"
Fiona: "Booooobbbb!"
(Slash!)
Barbara: "Mmmm… mmm… huh?…"
Stranger: "Urk…"
(Splash!)
He was slashed and fell dead into the lake.
(Splash)
Barbara: "Hahh…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhhhh… hahhhh…"
Fiona passed out.
(A few hours later)
(Beep… beep…)
Kafka: "Move, move!"
Doctor: "Quick, bring her to room number 54! Fast, fast! Her wounds are severe!"
Kafka: "Hahhh… her wounds are barely healing even though she has Holle's blood…"
Doctor: "Okay, okay…"
They brought her into the room. The doctors took her things.
Doctor: "Go!"
(Beep)… (beep)
Fiona: "Hahhhh… mmhahhhhh…"
They put a breathing mask on her mouth.
Doctor: "Two gunshots… one hit an organ. That's not good…"
(BIEEEEEEP)
Doctor: "Cardiac arrest! Quick, quick!"
They started emergency procedures. The doctor performed chest compressions.
Doctor: "Come on… come on, young lady… you can do it…"
(Press!)
(BIEEEEP)
Doctor: "Again!"
(Press!)
Fiona: "HAAAAAAAHH!"
(Beep… beep)
Doctor: "Ahh… we did it. Quick, quick…"
(Beep, beep)
Fiona: "Hahh…"
The surgery lasted about 5 hours.
Doctor: "Hahh…"
Kafka: "Will she be okay?"
Cossette: "Will she…?"
Kafka: "Will Fiona be okay?"
Doctor: "Hahh… yes, I think so. She had cardiac arrest, but we were able to save her…"
Kafka: "I don't understand… she has Lady Holle's curse. Why… isn't it healing…?"
Doctor: "Sorry, I don't know… I did what I could…"
Kafka: "Thank you, Doctor… Doctor Friedhelm…"
The doctor left.
Cossette: "Hahhh… (sob)"
Kafka: "Damn it…"
(A few hours later)
(Beep… beep)
Cossette: "Hahhh…"
Fiona: "(Hahhh… hahh)…."
Fiona opened her eyes quickly.
Fiona: "Gahh… gahh… guh… hahhhh… the wounds…"
She looked at her wounds. Finally, they had healed.
Cossette: "(Zzz)…"
Fiona: "The poison was removed… that's why Holle's blood healed me… only then… I get it… the poison was stopping it…"
Cossette: "(Zzz)…"
Fiona: "Why is Cossette here?"
Cossette: "(Zzz) Fiona… please don't leave me… not alone…"
Fiona: "Hahh…"
She stroked Cossette's hair.
Cossette: "(Zzz)…"
Fiona: "Urk… ow…"
Fiona looked again. The stomach wound opened a little.
Fiona: "Hmm… happens often… hopefully it heals again…"
She stood up and removed the IV.
Fiona: "Urk… hahh… damn…"
Cossette: "(Zzz)…"
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
She walked out.
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhhh… what the hell…"
She touched her forehead. She had a fever, very high.
Fiona: "Damn. I forgot Holle's blood doesn't heal fever… or blood sickness… h bbbb… (Bleargh!)"
She vomited.
Fiona: "Hahhh… what's wrong with me… hahhh… hahhhh… I can't breathe… hahhh… hahhh… hahhh… haaahhhh… ahhhh… haaaaaaahhh…"
The areas around her wounds turned purple.
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhh… ahhhh… hhh… bbbb… (Bleargh!)"
She vomited again.
Fiona: "Urk… gahhhhhhhh…"
A lot of blood came from her eyes.
Fiona: "Hahhh… haaaaaahhhh… fuck… urk…"
(Patch!) (Patch)
Fiona: "Huh…"
Someone slowly approached her. Fiona collapsed to the floor.
(Patch!) (Patch!)
Fiona: "Hahhhhh…"
Renni: "Hello… Fiona…"
Fiona: "Huhh… ugh… those… red… hair… is that you… Renni?"
Renni: "Hehehe… you still remember me…"
Renni slowly crouched down beside her. Fiona stared up from the floor.
Renni: "Does it hurt?"
Fiona: "Hahhh… what… is… that… hahhh…"
Renni: "Oh… it's a bullet that keeps forming again and again inside your body…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… haahhh…"
Renni: "You killed my parents."
Fiona: "Haaahhh… it… was… an… order…"
Renni: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "They… they… hurt… people…"
Renni: "Hmph…"
Fiona: "Hahh…"
Renni: "Oh, you're drooling…"
Fiona: "Hahh…"
Renni used her fingers to wipe it away… and licked the saliva off.
Renni: "Oh dear… seems like it hurts… I taste blood…"
Fiona: "Hahhhh… ugh…"
Renni: "Do you know there's a Namesis inside you…"
Fiona: "What?"
Renni: "A Namesis that makes the bullet reform… and spreads a lot of bacteria… sorry, curses… inside you. Ever heard of purple saliva? That's what these 'bacteria' do. They poison your own saliva and fluids in your body…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhh…"
Renni: "Over there is that girl, Cossette. I was ordered to kill her."
Fiona: "If… you… touch her… then… you'll end… like your parents… I'll kill you…"
Renni: "Then good luck."
Fiona: "No… wait… please… don't hurt her… I'm begging you… please…"
Renni: "Oh, how cute… you're worried…"
Fiona: "Please… don't… don't do anything to her… you can do whatever you want to me… I deserve it, I killed your parents… but Cossette is still a child… please…"
Renni: "I was 12 when we met… you always acted nice to me… and then…"
(Memory)
Renni: "Hahh… Mom…"
(Splash)… (Splop!)
Fiona: "Huh?…"
Renni: "Mom…"
(End of memory)
Renni: "Why!"
Fiona: "It… was… an order… Dark… Umbrella… I didn't want to kill them… but I had no choice…"
Renni: "And what about me… did you forget me? There was someone else… who was it…?"
Fiona: "That… was… r r… rit… Rita…"
Renni: "Oh… I see… hehehe… I remember. You killed her when she tried to kill me…"
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Renni: "Why didn't you kill me?"
Fiona: "Because… you… didn't… do… anything wrong…"
Renni: "And my parents?"
Fiona: "Your… parents… were… spies… and they… (cough)…"
Renni: "Hm?"
Fiona: "They… killed… many people…"
Renni: "You're lying."
Fiona: "I'm not lying."
Renni: "Ghhhh… that's a lie!"
Fiona: "Hahhhh…"
Renni: "Hehehe…"
A female doctor appeared.
Renni: "Huh?"
Doctor: "Oh, what's going on here…"
Renni shot the doctor.
(Bang!)
Doctor: "Urk!"
Fiona: "Huh… Renni… you… you shot an innocent person…"
Renni: "She was in the way…"
Suddenly plants appeared—dark plants.
Renni: "Huh?"
(Patch!) (Patch)
Fiona: "Huhh… Kafka…"
Kafka: "I show up for one moment and chaos starts immediately…"
(Patch!)
Kafka: "Hmm…"
He looked at the dead doctor.
Kafka: "Killing a doctor who was only doing her job is a horrible act."
Renni: "Hmph…"
Kafka: "Leave Fiona alone."
Fiona: "Huh…"
Kafka: "I think you should listen to me."
A dark figure appeared.
Renni: "A Namesis… you're a Namesis controller?!"
He attacked her.
Renni: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "No, wait… please don't hurt her!"
Kafka: "Huh!"
He stopped. At that moment, Renni jumped out the window.
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
Kafka: "Ugh… Fiona…"
He went to her and helped her stand.
Kafka: "Are you okay?"
Fiona: "Kafka… your ability… there is a Namesis inside me… the bullets… a Namesis put them in me, it keeps reforming the bullet again and again…"
Kafka: "Ugh… what are we supposed to do?"
Fiona: "I think I know what to do… I need your help."
Kafka: "Yes… okay."
Fiona: "Hahhh… do you see the purple area on my stomach…"
Kafka: "Huh…"
Fiona: "Right there… the bullet is where the color is strongest…"
Kafka: "Ugh, yeah, I see it…"
Fiona: "Pull it out."
Kafka: "With bare hands?"
Fiona: "Yes. Pull it out…"
He shoved his hand into her stomach.
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Kafka: "Oh no… I think I've got something…"
Fiona: "Then pull it out…"
He pulled his hand out. Fiona dropped to her knees.
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Urk…"
Kafka: "I got it…"
It was a Namesis.
Namesis: "Roarrrr…"
Kafka: "Gross, it looks like a worm…"
He threw it and stomped on it.
(Splash!)
Fiona: "Hahhhh… good… now the next one… I'll do that myself… unless you want to touch my chest."
Kafka: "(Blushing) Honestly… I'm loyal to Lissana… so…"
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
Fiona shoved her hand into her chest.
Fiona: "Urk…"
Blood ran down…
Her hand pushed deeper…
(Splash!)
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Ugh… I got it…"
She pulled it out.
(Splash!)
Namesis: "Ahhhheeee…"
Fiona: "Get lost!"
She threw it against the wall.
(Splash!)
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhhh… hahhhh…"
Kafka: "I've never heard of a bullet being a Namesis form…"
Fiona: "Well… it happens…"
Her wounds healed.
Fiona: "Hahhh… Holle's blood works again…"
Kafka: "Hmm… Holle's blood is pretty wild…"
Fiona: "Yeah… but it can't heal fever or blood illnesses… Kafka, please help me, I can barely stand…"
Kafka: "Sure…"
He helped her.
Kafka: "Hh… got you…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… thank you."
Kafka: "Gladly…"
He brought her back to the hospital room. Cossette was still asleep.
Kafka: "She's still sleeping?"
Fiona: "Hahhh… she was probably awake the whole time because she was worried about me… hahh…"
Kafka: "Okay."
He helped Fiona lie down on the bed.
Kafka: "Anything else?"
Fiona: "No… thank you, Kafka… really…"
Kafka: "Who was that girl? She wasn't even 18…"
Fiona: "Renni… Salvatore… the daughter… of the family I spied on for Dark Umbrella… and killed…"
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Well… not exactly… Rita, who was also a spy… started it… that's why I did it too…"
Kafka: "Huh… where is this Rita now?"
Fiona: "She wanted to kill Renni… I tried to stop her, but she still tried… so I saved Renni by… killing Rita…"
Kafka: "I have to say… you've killed people…"
Fiona: "About… 12…"
Kafka: "Oh… okay…"
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
(Memory)
(6 years ago)
Lady Natasha: "Fiona… I have a mission for you…"
Fiona: "Which is?"
Lady Natasha: "I want you to spy on the Salvatores in Weimarer… reports say there are crimes like human trafficking, and worse, that they are members of Rapunzel's Forbidden Library…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Lady Natasha: "Kill them if it's true. Oh… their daughter Renni Salvatore… kill her too."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
She looked at the photo.
Fiona: "Wait, that's a damn child…"
Lady Natasha: "Oh… do I sense an emotion?"
Fiona: "Hmm… Article 41… Dark Umbrella Code 451, line 9. No matter what criminals… no matter what crimes they did… children are not dragged into it, whether they are the criminals' children or the victims' children… that's how it is."
Lady Natasha: "Hmm… then… so be it…"
Fiona: "I thought we follow the articles and codes… sorry, that's how I was trained. I don't want to do it especially not when I know there's a chance I'll get in trouble for it…"
Lady Natasha: "You will kill the child."
Fiona: "Article 41. Dark Umbrella. Code 451, line 9. No matter what crimes, no matter what they did, children are not dragged into it, whether children of perpetrators or victims. Want me to repeat it again?"
Lady Natasha: "Hahhh… fine, fine. I forgot how much you cling to codes and articles… Meliodas is probably to blame… then I'll hand it to Rita…"
Fiona: "To her?… Rita?… but… she's in Dark Umbrella prison. You can't do that… she wiped out an entire family even though the order was only to kill the leader. Article 20, code 201. Dangerous people are not sent on important missions unless they are kept under control…"
Lady Natasha: "Can you stop? I don't care."
Fiona: "That's how I was trained. If I see Rita Hellsing do something wrong, I'll kill her. Article 14, code 309. If a Dark Umbrella agent takes action that drags in innocents, the other agents are allowed, if necessary, to stop them even by killing them."
Lady Natasha: "Fiona!"
She slammed the table.
Lady Natasha: "Stop this crap. You're boring, you bore me, okay… I'm the boss here. Do you understand?"
Fiona: "Mmm…"
Lady Natasha: "Just do it. Spy on them. Rita is none of your concern."
Fiona: "Haaahhhhh… fine…"
Lady Natasha: "Good girl."
(A few days later)
Stefan Salvatore: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Good evening-morning, Mr. Salvatore… my name is Fiona Emilys…"
Stefan Salvatore: "Oh, you're the new teacher for Renni… sorry, caretaker… Renni, look, there she is…"
Renni: "Hmm?"
Renni appeared, hiding behind her mother.
Lesli Salvatore: "Come on, my child…"
Renni: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Stefan Salvatore: "Come in… recently we hired a new cleaning woman named Rita Ricardo…"
Fiona looked at her. Rita looked back. They hated each other, ever since school days.
Rita: "(Tssss… what is she doing here… she bores me…)"
Fiona: "(If she endangers the mission… I'll kill her.)"
Stefan Salvatore: "(Cough)… come in."
