The matter is settled. Tom Fog finished it and killed Lupin. Fiona is in the hospital... and Ulita is coming along, while Manja will not come for now because she is being examined since she knows more about the Moths. Daisy and Sophie are there as well.
Sophie: "Hmm.."
Daisy: "Well well, long time no see my Fiona."
Fiona: "Hello.."
Melina: "Hmm.."
Daisy: "Ohhh is that Melina? She is cute."
Tom Fog: "As I see, you are doing better."
Fiona: "Please forgive me that I could hardly do anything."
Daisy: "Oh come on… we hardly did anything either… but Master Tom Fog finished him…"
Fiona: "Ughh…"
Daisy: "And… how is your wound?"
Fiona: "Please just don't ask…"
Daisy: "Hmmm…"
Tom Fog: "Good… I saw how you are doing now, but I unfortunately really have to go now… a vacation is waiting for me…"
Daisy: "Ohhh… Master, you haven't seen us for 4 years…"
Tom Fog: "That is not true… 2 years."
Daisy: "Huh… well fine, but you haven't seen Fiona for 4 years…"
Tom Fog: "I know… well then… Fiona… as I see you are still not as good as Sophie, Daisy and of course me…"
Fiona: "Mmm… yes… maybe…"
Tom Fog: "But that is not bad… although Sophie and you are on the same level… probably because neither of you are very good at fighting."
Sophie: "Hmmm.."
Tom Fog: "Hmmm.."
Sophie: "Listen… Daisy…"
Daisy: "Hmm?.. what is it?"
Sophie: "Ohh… uhm…"
Tom Fog: "Hmmm…"
Sophie: "I wanted to apologize… for my behavior… in the past."
Daisy: "Huh?… what is this all of a sudden… are you sure you are Sophie and not a skinwalker?"
Tom Fog: "Daisy…"
He pulled her by the ears.
Daisy: "Ouch… ghhhh… Master…"
Tom Fog: "You shouldn't talk to others like that. How often have I told you… Sophie is apologizing… either you accept it or not… but other comments are unnecessary."
Daisy: "Fine… hmm…"
Sophie: "Mmm.."
Daisy: "Haaahhhhh… as I see you take good care of my brother… it would be really unfair if I still treated you like before…"
Sophie: "Hmm.."
Daisy: "And where is my brother anyway? When can I see him?"
Sophie: "Ohh… he will come soon… he is at Ulita's room, she was being examined… just in case…"
The door was knocked.
Oliver: "Excuse me for the… disturbance… ugh.."
Daisy: "Hahhh… mmmmmmmmmmmm… there you are my little cutie pie brother."
Fiona: "Furz…ie?"
Sophie: "(Sweating)… forget it… when it comes to her brother just forget it."
Oliver: "Hahhh… big sister!!"
He jumped onto her.
Daisy: "Oof!… got you… hehehehe… you are as cute as ever… after all you are my brother, cute like your sister."
Oliver: "Ohh… you are much taller now…"
Daisy: "Yep… I am almost 180 cm tall… hehe… taller than the Master… he is not even 170 cm tall."
Tom Fog: "Someone wants to die."
Daisy: "Oops… hehe… sorry… scary…"
Oliver: "Huh.."
Daisy: "Tell me, does Sophie treat you badly… is she mean… did she give you the wrong blanket… did she maybe force you to eat onions?"
Oliver: "No, she is very nice to me."
Daisy: "Reeeally?… hmm…"
She looked at Sophie with suspicion.
Daisy: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Hahhh…"
Daisy: "If that is the case… Sophie… I accept your apology… my brother is someone who knows how to judge people… well… most of the time… unless someone gives him sweets, then he will trust them immediately… like that time he almost got kidnapped by a perverted merchant because of a damn chocolate."
Oliver: "Hey big sister… stop it…"
Daisy: "Hehehehe…"
Tom Fog: "Alright, I will be on my way."
He briefly patted Fiona's head and started leaving.
Tom Fog: "By the way Fiona…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Tom Fog: "Do you remember the times when you were my assistant? Everyone said you would never… never manage to become a good detective… or even become a detective at all… you were weak… you often needed the staff to walk… and then also your trauma because of that bastard Howgarts… and yet… now you are a detective… and not only that, you belong to the Crows…"
The Crows is what the best detectives are called.
Tom Fog: "You should be proud of that… so don't worry that you couldn't really do anything… after all you have only been a detective for not even 4 years."
He left the room.
Daisy: "He is right Fiona… you don't need to worry… you needed time to become a detective because of your trauma… with Howgarts… I wasn't there… Master Tom Fog wasn't there… Sophie was there but only for a year and that was before he became so crazy… but you… you were with him for 5 years…"
Sophie: "She is right… no wonder your education took a bit longer… I think anyone else would have already given up…"
Fiona: "…have… you heard what happened to Hoodi?"
Sophie: "I… have…"
Daisy: "What happened?"
Sophie: "Hoodi… was shot a few days ago…"
Fiona: "Both of her feet and one arm had to be amputated…"
Daisy: "Huh!… really… I didn't know that… and how is she?"
Fiona: "Hahhh… she is… in a coma…"
Sophie: "Nina… was her older sister right?"
Fiona: "You know her?"
Sophie: "Yes… I saw her twice… she was a sweet girl…"
Daisy: "Hmm?… who is Nina?"
Sophie: "Hahh… a victim of the incident from 14 years ago… the BT experiment…"
Daisy: "Huh!… oh… I understand… during that experiment almost all the children died… only Parzival and Fiona survived…"
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Sophie: "Hahhh… okay… enough about that topic… what are you going to do now, Fiona?"
Fiona: "I plan to go back to Prussia… my group the Lilly Moon are still there after all…"
Sophie: "Then I will come with you."
Fiona: "Huh?"
Sophie: "You said I could join you… after all I am the only one of us who is not in a group yet… Daisy is with the Yellow Star… and you are with the Lilly Moon… you said there aren't enough experienced people… right?"
Fiona: "Yes… you can come… but you still have to talk with Master Meliodas…"
Sophie: "But I will only do the missions with Oliver… at least most of the time."
Fiona: "I understand… I also mostly handle cases only with Melina and Cossette."
Daisy: "Oh… Cossette… isn't that the girl you saved?"
Fiona: "Yes."
Melina: "Hmm?"
Daisy: "I must say I like Melina… she is very cute…"
(Knock knock)
Someone knocked on the door.
Daisy: "Hmm?"
The door opened. It was Rosika.
Daisy: "Oh Rosika… hey, let me introduce my assistant… this is Rosika Kondor… isn't she pretty?"
Rosika: "Hello… pleased to meet you… if my master has too much energy again then please forgive the disturbance."
Daisy: "Whaaaaat?!"
Fiona: "Uh… it's fine… no problem…"
Rosika: "Nice to meet you Lady Mystery."
Daisy: "Say Fiona… where exactly were you hit?"
Fiona: "(Blushes)… in the… vagina…"
Rosika: "Ughh!"
Daisy: "Whaaaaat!!!… oh dear… that must have hurt…"
Melina: "Hmm.."
Daisy: "Did he aim for your leg and… miss?"
Fiona: "I think so… he didn't completely hit it… just the… the beginning…"
Daisy: "Ghhh.."
Rosika: "Surely… you killed him for that… right?"
Daisy: "No… how could she… she was busy with the pain… well… hehehe… I better get going… and you little brother… it was really nice to see you again…"
Oliver: "What… you are leaving already?"
Daisy: "Oh my little cute brother… unfortunately I must go… but don't worry… I will talk with Ms Valentine so I get more permission… I hope Sophie doesn't mind if I want to see you."
Sophie: "Not at all… just tell me."
Daisy: "Then I will go."
She kissed his forehead.
(Kiss)
Daisy: "Goodbye… hehehe…"
She left the room.
Rosika: "Then I will be on my way as well… excuse me…"
Fiona: "Mhm.."
Sophie: "Hmm."
She followed Daisy.
Sophie: "She is cute."
Fiona: "Hahhh… yes… I didn't think Daisy wasn't the most beautiful in the Dark Umbrella… I think Rosika might be."
Sophie: "Huh?… what… you thought it was Daisy?… yes she is indeed popular… have you seen your mailbox… it is full of hearts."
Fiona: "(Sweating)… really… am I… that popular with them?"
Sophie: "Well… you are also popular with the girls…"
(Sweating) "Hey hey… they like you because you are different… most women use makeup and many other things like clothes… you are not interested… remember the day you came to the meeting in pajamas?"
Fiona: "I am not a lesbian… do I look like I want that?"
Sophie: "That meeting where you came in pajamas… most of the women there weren't angry… they were amazed… how pretty you looked without makeup."
Fiona: "What use is it anyway?… it wastes time… it disappears with water… and it is not beauty… it just hides things."
Sophie: "Some women are obsessed with looking good… many also to find a partner."
Fiona: "So they want a partner who judges them only by their looks… sometimes I wonder if women like being treated badly."
Sophie: "(Sweating)… Fiona… do you maybe want to think about it yourself?"
Fiona: "Huh… even if… I have a bullet in my vagina right now… you know…"
Sophie: "They removed it… by the way don't worry the doctor was a woman."
Fiona: "Good… at least that…"
Sophie: "But she is a lesbian and kept touching your cheeks the whole time."
Fiona: "Okay… that's it."
She opened the window.
Sophie: "Aaaaargh… calm down… that won't help… you are on the first floor."
Fiona: "Oh… I noticed."
She lay back on the bed.
Sophie: "Hahh… (giggles)…."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "I have to say Fiona… you have changed… you became funny."
Fiona: "I don't know if that is something I should be happy about… or smash my head for."
Sophie: "Well then… the doctor said you could leave tomorrow… but she still wants to see you."
Fiona: "(Sweating) She wants to see me because she is a lesbian who wants to harass me or to examine me?"
Sophie: "I think both."
Fiona: "Hahhhh… damn…"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
(Knock knock)
The doctor came in.
Sophie: "Oh… Ms Ruslin…"
Ruslin: "Oh… the cutie is awake."
Fiona: "(Sweating)… (And that only because of Remy!)"
Meanwhile
Casper: "Remy… what is it?"
Remy: "Uh… in Eager Brünn… I met Fiona…"
Casper: "Okay… and… why so sad?"
Remy: "Well a monster appeared and she wanted to stop it until someone named Tom Fog arrived… and I stopped her… well… in a not very nice way…"
Casper: "(Sweating)… what did you do… tie her up?"
Remy: "I took a pistol and shot at her foot… and locked her in a cellar… and then I found out I didn't hit her foot but her… vagina… you know…"
(Silence)
Casper: "AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Remy: "Nughh!"
Casper: "Are you serious… how the hell did you manage that… are you crazy… and what happened then?"
Remy: "After that… the monster disappeared… it was defeated by the Dark Umbrella… and… Fiona found me… and said she never wanted to see me again… and that I made it impossible for her to do her job…"
Casper: "Remy! Damn it Remy!… why would you do that… there were many ways… without violence… why did you do something like that?!… what if because of you she can never have children again…"
Remy: "Why again… she has no children."
Casper: "Ah… right… but still… Remy… hahhh… what should I say… Remy you are my buddy… no question… but sometimes you behave like an idiot… you just lost the best suitable woman for you…"
Remy: "What are you talking about… I will never have a girl like that as my wife… honestly… we are just friends… I don't even like her… she is always like that… she never wants to see me again and I saved her…"
Casper: "Remy!! Stop behaving like a self centered asshole… admit your mistake!… why do you always… always… always talk badly about others… if you want to be respected then respect others… respect is earned by respecting others… you are treated exactly how you treat others… that's how it is… it is a miracle Fiona tolerated you for so long and never yelled at you… except for the pistol incident… and where did you even learn to shoot… couldn't you find something else… you were never good at aiming… back then you almost shot the hostage instead of the criminal…"
Remy: "Mmm…"
Casper: "Haahhhh… I would say just stay away from her… you caused her enough problems…"
Remy: "So you are on her side."
Casper: "Yes… of course… even if you are my buddy… if I see you doing something wrong I will criticize you."
Remy: "Tss."
He stood up.
Casper: "Where are you going?!"
Remy: "To the bar… maybe I will meet a woman who doesn't yell at me."
Casper: "Then have fun sleeping with women who only judge you by your looks."
He left the house angrily.
Casper: "Tss…"
Some hours later
Remy: "(Hiccups)… hahhh…"
Unknown woman: "Hehehe… someone is drunk."
Remy: "Huh?"
He turned around. It was a woman with long black hair. It was Zantanel.
Remy: "Oh… you are pretty."
Zantanel: "How nice of you… you look good too… but what is wrong?"
Remy: "(Hiccups)… I don't know… (Hiccups)… everyone treats me like I am trash…"
Zantanel: "Oh yes… I can see that… your heart is full of pain and anger… how about… I help you with that."
Remy: "Huh?.. ugh.."
Suddenly her face was right in front of him.
Remy: "Ugh.. (blushes)… (Damn she is beautiful)…"
Zantanel: "What is your name?"
Remy: "Remy… Thomas."
Zantanel: "Listen Remy… you are cursed right? I can tell because I am one myself."
Remy: "Hmm?"
Zantanel: "Aren't you tired… of how the normal uncursed treat us cursed ones?"
Remy: "Hmm?.. what are you getting at?"
Zantanel: "Aren't you tired… of being treated like you are nothing… a nobody?"
Remy: "Ugh.."
She held his cheeks. Since he is cursed as well, her touch does not harm him.
Remy: "Ughh…"
Zantanel: "My name is Zantanel Kafka… I am the leader… of the House of the Cursed Children."
Remy: "Ughh…"
Zantanel: "How about… you join us?"
Remy: "Ughhh…"
Zantanel: "Hehehehe… you are surely interested… to learn more about us."
She stood up.
Zantanel: "On Korina Street… in Prussia… meet me there… if you are interested… tomorrow evening at 9."
She kissed his cheek.
Zantanel: "See you."
Remy: "Ughhh…"
She left the bar.
Zantanel: "Hehe.."
Remy: "Wooow… I think I made a big catch… she likes me… maybe she is right… maybe… I should at least see what they do… yes… exactly…"
Bartender: "Talking to yourself is fine but can you finally pay now?"
Remy: "Hmm?.. I have no money…"
Bartender: "(silence)…."
(Crash)
Remy: "Ow!"
He was thrown out.
Bartender: "Never come here again you son of a bitch."
Remy: "(Sweating)… mean… he will pay for that… damn… tss."
He stood up.
Remy: "Hmm… Zantanel… good… I will meet you tomorrow… hehe… let's see what you have to offer."
