Chapter 134 - Chapter 71 Part 2 Out of the Castle

After they found the girl… Marcus and Fiona wanted to leave immediately… for that, they only needed to find the door…

Marcus: "We just need to find it."

Fiona: "And how?... It seems like every door could be a possible exit?"

Marcus: "Well… I can use Rufus… he'll recognize our scent. He'll find the door we touched…"

Rufus started sniffing.

Rufus: "There."

They went there… but there was nothing…

Rufus: "There are several… there…"

Nothing.

Rufus: "There."

Nothing…

Rufus: "There."

Nothing.

Rufus: "And… there."

Also nothing.

Marcus: "Hahhh."

Fiona: "Damn it… hahh… how many doors have we opened…"

Rufus: "Only two left… the one down there on the right or the one down there on the left."

Marcus: "Okay…"

Fiona: "Hahh…"

They went there… there was nothing there either.

Marcus: "Hmm."

Fiona: "Let's hope it's the other one."

Crane: "Hmm."

She went there… they opened the door… and this time… hands appeared again.

Marcus: "Ugh… woow."

Fiona: "Not again…"

(Wheeb!)

Marcus: "Häää?"

Fiona: "Hööö?!... Woooowww."

They fell toward the clouds…

Marcus: "No… no…"

Fiona: "Hahhh… what do we do now…"

Marcus: "Ugh.."

There was an airship…

(Boing!)

Marcus: "Ughh."

Fiona: "Ghh."

They grabbed onto the airship…

Marcus: "Hahh… is… the girl okay?"

Fiona: "Yeah… I still have her… ghhhh…"

Marcus: "Hold on tight… otherwise we'll slip."

Crane: "What's going on now? Where are we?"

Fiona: "Hahh… this isn't Eager Brünn, right?"

Marcus: "Ghhh… the wind is too strong… ghhhh… hold on… hold on tight…"

Fiona: "Crane, go back into the hat."

Crane: "Can't, otherwise I'll get blown away."

Fiona: "Then stay under my arm."

Crane: "Okay."

They looked down… anyone who falls was absolutely done for…

Marcus: "How far up are we?"

Fiona: "Hahh… no idea… if there's one thing I never wanted to do again after school, then it's calculating stuff…"

Marcus: "Ughh… and yet you were good at math."

Fiona: "Doesn't mean I liked it… after all that X stuff I had enough…"

Marcus: "Ghhhh...…. I sucked at math and physics…"

Fiona: "Ghhh… why are we talking about school now… back then…"

Marcus: "Ghh… ohh… look… look… that's in Prussia, right?... that bridge."

Fiona: "Yeah… it belongs to both Prussia and Eager Brünn… we're almost there… we just need to hold on."

Marcus: "Ghhh… for all this crap… I want a raise!… I'm tired of always doing stuff like this just because they rate the mission wrong!"

Fiona: "Hahhh… and I just had vacation… now after all this… I want another one…"

Crane: "Where is it taking us?"

Marcus: "Ghh… good question."

Fiona: "We'll see."

Marcus: "Bbb… I'm gonna puke."

Fiona: "Bbb… don't remind me… we both always had a fear of heights…"

Marcus: "Oh… right… I want a raise for that too."

Fiona: "Your salary is higher than mine… shut up."

Marcus: "So what… it's only four thousand coins more."

Crane: "Uhm."

Fiona: "Only?... Only?!... With that salary I'd only need one mission per month… that'd be enough…"

Crane: "Oh yes… I kill at least a hundred people in one month… do you know how much that hurts the mind?"

Fiona: "I've killed people too."

Crane: "In your entire career as a detective, you've only killed thirty."

Fiona: "Hey… I used to be a spy too, alright?"

Crane: "Yeah, for one mission only… doesn't count… how many did you kill then? How many people?"

Fiona: "Uhm… around… thirty?... Thirty-four targets…"

Crane: "Uhm… people."

Marcus: "Hmph… I've killed way more… I do that in one week…"

Fiona: "Oh… sorry that I wasn't trained for killing."

Marcus: "Haha… you can kill… Sophie told me about the thing with the pliers and that Henry guy… you're really scary sometimes."

Fiona: "Ugh, that snitch…"

Marcus: "Haha."

Crane: "Guys, I don't want to interrupt, but… we… we… we're slipping."

Marcus: "No shit Sherlock… we're arguing to distract ourselves."

Fiona: "We're both afraid of heights, okay?... well not me that much… it just hurts to breathe with all this wind… Marcus here is more scared…"

Marcus: "Ghhh… we're slipping…"

Fiona: "I know… it won't take much longer… look… we're about to land."

Marcus: "Ohh… why is it taking so long?"

Fiona: "It's an airship!!"

Crane sighed softly.

Marcus: "Ohh…"

Fiona: "Yeah… land already… finally…"

It still didn't land…

Marcus: "Boahh!"

Fiona: "Hahhh… this thing… I really need to use the bathroom… I honestly wouldn't mind peeing myself… but then Sophie would make fun of me… though she has no right, she farts in her sleep."

Marcus: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Oops… now you heard that… don't you dare ask if it smells good."

Marcus: "I wasn't planning to…"

Fiona: "Siegfried asked."

Marcus: "(Sweating)… who's Siegfried?... oh… the new one…"

Fiona: "Yeah… he's not officially a member yet but probably will be soon… Ms. Valentine still wanted to think about it."

Marcus: "Ohh… we're landing… we're landing…"

Fiona: "And… we… we're… slipping."

(Swoosh)

Marcus: "AAAAAARGHH."

Fiona: "Ohh."

(Crash!)

They fell onto crates…

Marcus: "Ughh… my back."

Fiona: "Ghhhh… I landed on my butt… I think I broke it."

Marcus: "Ugh… the child."

Fiona: "She's… fine… right when we fell, Crane used the hat and put her inside… ghhh… he could've taken us too… I think I know what I want for lunch next… cooked crow with sauce… want some too?"

Marcus: "Gladly… sounds delicious."

Fiona: "Ghh… can you stand up?"

Marcus: "Yeah… it wasn't that high… the crates made it a little less painful…"

Fiona: "Ghh… yeah…"

Marcus: "I think I fell on a crate of clothes, and you?"

Fiona: "I… uhm… don't know… hmmm… blankets."

Marcus: "Oh…"

They stood up.

Marcus: "Okay…"

Fiona: "The mission went faster than expected… but it was also… harder than expected…"

Marcus: "Yep… let's go eat something, what do you think?"

Fiona: "I'm not saying no to that… let's hand the child over to the organization first."

Marcus: "Mhm."

(A few minutes later at the Dark Umbrella station in Eager Brünn)

Dark Umbrella Member: "Hmmm…"

Fiona: "Hello… we brought Dina Cerny for the mission."

Dark Umbrella Member: "One moment… please… huh!"

They both looked exhausted…

Dark Umbrella Member: "(Sweating)… uhm…"

Marcus: "Don't ask about our wounds."

Fiona: "Please take the girl… I'm seriously starving."

Marcus: "Me too… but let us know if she wakes up."

Fiona: "Yeah please…"

Marcus: "Hmm."

They took the child.

Marcus: "So… what are we eating?"

Fiona: "Ohh… noodles with mussels."

Marcus: "Ohhh… yeah… good idea… how about soup?"

Fiona: "Yeah… but please with meat too."

Marcus: "Hehehe… now that you can finally taste salty food in life, you want meat."

Fiona: "Jepp."

Marcus: "Okay… on me… I have the higher salary."

Fiona: "You sure?... I can pay too."

Marcus: "No… I'll pay… don't worry."

Fiona: "If you say so."

Marcus: "Hehe…"

(Meanwhile)

Crane: "Mmm… I have a feeling… maybe I should've helped Marcus and Fiona after all… both of them probably want to eat me someday…"

(Meanwhile)

Dina: "Mmmm… huh… where am I?"

Dark Umbrella Member: "Huh…"

Dina: "Ohh…"

Dark Umbrella Member: "Hello… Miss Cerny… Marcus and Fiona found you, we'll take care of you."

Dina: "Oh… mmm… thank you… very much."

(Meanwhile)

Marcus: "Oh… this is delicious. I want more… this is so good… I need another serving please."

Fiona: "Mmm… why did nobody tell me mussels with salt taste even better."

Marcus: "Mmm…"

Well… seems things are finally going well with food.

(Meanwhile)

Zantanel: "Hahhhh… I think you know what we're planning next, right?... We are going to visit… the place the Black Hole could never harm… Wonderland… but we won't do that now… first, we'll stay here in Eager Brünn."
