Rosika has finally arrived and now feels more comfortable with the Lilly Moon. But what will happen next in the Kingdom of Villicia for the time being?
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "(Yawns)...Good evening morning."
Sophie: "Good evening morning, Fiona."
Fiona: "Ohh, look at that...Rosika is already awake."
Sophie: "Yeah...She's taking a shower."
Fiona: "(Yawns)...Okay..."
Sophie: "Should I make you some coffee?"
Fiona: "Oh...That would be very kind."
Sophie: "Hehe, okay. I'll make some for the two of us...The others are still sleeping...Sleepyheads."
Fiona: "(Yawns)...I only woke up because I've been sleeping too much lately...Mmm."
She sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
TV: "Hahahahahaha..."
(Channel changes)
TV: "Today's weather will be completely normal."
(Channel changes)
TV: "You won't defeat me...Not today and never..."
(Channel changes)
Fiona: "The Beast and Monster series is still going...Hahh...It's already on season fourteen."
Sophie: "Hahh, yeah...I don't think that show will ever end..."
Fiona: "But who even still watches it?"
Meliodas: "I do...(Yawns)."
Sophie: "Oh, Master...Um...Master...Please don't just come out wearing only your underwear. Where are your manners?"
Fiona: "The moment the kids are gone, he starts walking around half naked...(Yawns)..."
Meliodas: "Hahh...Don't worry...I'll get dressed."
Sophie: "Then do it now...And stop getting me pregnant in my dreams."
Meliodas: "What?"
Sophie: "Nothing. Forget it."
Fiona: "(Sweats)...I really should've stayed in bed...(Yawns)..."
Meliodas: "Don't yawn like that. It's rude."
Sophie: "You're the one standing here in your underwear."
Fiona: "And only wearing underwear...(Sniffs)...Couldn't you at least change that...?"
Meliodas: "Okay...Okay...(Yawns)."
He walked into his office.
Meliodas: "I have work to do...Leave me alone."
He closed the door.
Sophie: "What a guy."
Fiona: "Hmm."
(Ding)
The door opened.
Sophie: "Oh, hey Rosika...Do you need help?"
Rosika: "(Yawns)...No...Thanks."
She was wearing a T-shirt and knee-length shorts. Fiona made room, and Rosika lay down beside her.
Fiona: "Well..."
Rosika: "Mmm."
Fiona gently stroked her head.
Sophie: "You two became close pretty quickly...(Smiles)."
Rosika: "Mhm."
Fiona: "...Yeah..."
Rosika and Fiona lazily relaxed on the sofa.
Rosika: "Hahhh..."
Fiona: "Mm?"
Rosika: "Huh..."
Fiona had a bag of chips. She held one out to Rosika and opened her own mouth.
Rosika: "Mmmm."
Fiona: "...(Crunch)...Mmm...It needs a little more salt."
Rosika: "Mhm...Mmm...Do you want this cookie? I bought it a while ago."
Fiona: "Isn't it expired?"
Rosika: "Nope."
Fiona: "Mmm..."
She took a bite.
Fiona: "Yeah...It's okay."
Rosika: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Hmm...(Fiona has always had that one habit...She looks after young people who never got to experience warmth. Cossette because of her freckles...Melina because of her small body...And Rosika...Hmm...As a child...Fiona had a lot of problems herself...Especially with her leg...Maybe that's why...Maybe because she knows what it's like to be an unwanted child.)"
Rosika: "Mm...(Yawns)."
Fiona: "(Yawns)...This is really boring..."
Siegfried: "(Yawns)...Yeah."
Fiona: "Hey..."
Siegfried: "Oh, you two really became good friends, huh?"
Rosika: "Mmm."
Rosika leaned against Fiona's shoulder.
Fiona: "I can't help it...She's adorable...Right?"
She kissed Rosika's forehead.
Rosika: "Mmm..."
Sophie: "Oh."
Siegfried: "Damn...Those two are getting really close..."
Sophie: "Hehe, that makes me happy...Fiona rarely opens up to other people, but when she does...She likes having those people close to her."
Siegfried: "Yeah..."
(Tick!)
The lights went out.
Siegfried: "What's going on?"
Sophie: "Hmm."
Siegfried: "I can't see anything."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Huh? Me neither. I can't see."
Rosika: "Oh no...This really is a nightmare."
Fiona: "Was that really necessary?"
The lights came back on.
Rosika: "Hmm."
Fiona: "They're back on."
Siegfried: "Hey, Rosika...What's in front of you?"
Rosika: "Asking a blind person what's in front of them...That's pretty brutal, you know?"
Fiona: "(Sweats)...Oh dear...(Sniffs)...Ohh...Looks like you used the soap Sophie and I bought for you."
Rosika: "Oh, thank you. It was really nice."
Fiona: "No problem."
She stroked Rosika's head even more.
Fiona: "But now you get this instead."
Rosika: "Ahh...Hehehe...Stop...That tickles."
Fiona: "Come here...Let me bite your cheeks...Bbb."
Rosika: "Ahh...Ehehehehehe..."
Sophie: "Ohh."
Siegfried: "Wow...Fiona really knows how to deal with unwanted children."
Sophie: "She was an unwanted child herself...That's probably exactly why she wants to help...Though I think she genuinely likes Rosika...And so do I..."
Rosika: "Huh?!"
Sophie also bit Rosika's cheeks.
Rosika: "Ahhh...Stop it, you two..."
Fiona: "...Bbb...No..."
Sophie: "You're staying right here."
Siegfried: "(Sweats)..."
Fiona: "We should probably stop."
Violet and Lina appeared.
Violet: "(Yawns)...Good evening morning."
Lina: "Good evening morning...Huh?"
Rosika: "Hehe."
Violet: "Those three really get along well."
Lina: "Hehehe."
(Crash!)
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
It was an unfamiliar woman.
Unknown Woman: "Please help me! My bag was stolen."
(Silence)
Sophie: "Um..."
Fiona: "Young lady...Knocking has been around for a long time...Maybe it's time you started using it."
She stood up.
Fiona: "Hahhh...What's wrong?"
Unknown Woman: "My bag...It was stolen."
Fiona: "Miss, this is detective work...Sorry, go to the police."
Unknown Woman: "It's Sunday."
Fiona: "Don't mess with me. The police still work on Sundays. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Unknown Woman: "No, that's not what I meant...It's just that...The police do a lot less on Sundays...Unless it's something serious."
Fiona: "Hahhhh...And we're even busier than they are...We're actually off today...So...What do you all think?"
Sophie: "No problem."
Rosika: "Yeah."
Fiona: "Good...Hey Rosika...Good opportunity for you. You can work with Sophie and me."
Rosika: "Okay."
Unknown Woman: "Thank you."
Fiona: "Give me or Sophie your phone number. We'll call you as soon as we find it. Where did you lose it?"
Unknown Woman: "At the park."
Fiona: "Which one exactly? There are three parks nearby."
Unknown Woman: "I don't know which one...That's the problem...I only brought my son there, and he likes all three of them."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Alright...But there will be a fee. Jobs like this are technically voluntary, so the payment comes from you, not the Dark Umbrella."
Unknown Woman: "How much do you want?"
Sophie: "If we find it...Fifty coins."
Unknown Woman: "Only that?"
Fiona: "Yeah...Yeah...We just need the money so Master Meliodas won't get mad at us...I was bored anyway...Because of the TV."
Sophie: "Hmm...Fiona..."
Unknown Woman: "Thank you very much...Okay...Here."
Sophie: "Only after we've found it."
Unknown Woman: "Oh...Okay."
Sophie: "Come on, you two. Go get changed."
Fiona: "Yeah."
Rosika: "Okay."
(A few minutes later)
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Quick question. That woman said she lost it in one of those three parks..."
Sophie: "Yep."
Fiona: "Well...We're in deep trouble. They're huge...I thought at least one was only for kids."
Rosika: "Hmm."
Sophie: "It's okay. Let's just search."
Fiona: "Okay."
Rosika: "Are you sure I can help?"
Fiona: "You're good at hearing. Maybe you'll hear a thief...Or maybe one of the kids picked it up."
They searched and searched...But found nothing.
Sophie: "Hahhh...Find anything?"
Fiona: "Nope...Maybe a dog ate it."
Sophie: "Fiona...Seriously."
Fiona: "What? People always say the dog ate their homework."
Sophie: "Hahhh..."
Fiona: "That was your excuse."
Sophie: "Yeah...Yeah..."
Fiona: "You don't even have a dog."
Sophie: "Fiona...The bag...The bag..."
Fiona: "Yeah, yeah...Rosika?...Where did she go?"
Sophie: "Hmm..."
(Patch)
Rosika: "I...heard something over there...I followed it, but then I lost it."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Rosika: "I'm sure of it...I bumped into someone...He had a bag...It was a woman's bag...He was running."
Sophie: "Could've been a woman who looks or feels like a man."
Fiona: "Oh no...Femboys...Siegfried would probably make some joke I wouldn't understand."
They searched for the boy.
Sophie: "Was he...An adult? A kid?"
Rosika: "I'd say...Judging by how he felt when he bumped into me...Hmm...Fourteen?...Fifteen?"
Sophie: "Oh."
Fiona: "Hmm...There...There...I see someone."
Sophie: "Huh?"
They slowly approached him, but the moment he noticed them, he ran.
Sophie: "He's running."
Fiona: "After him."
Rosika: "Okay!"
They ran after him.
Sophie: "Ghhhh..."
Fiona: "Ohh...He's pretty fast for a fifteen-year-old. I have an idea!"
She took her cane and threw it at him.
(Crash!)
Teenager: "Ow!"
He fell to the ground.
Sophie: "Bullseye."
Fiona: "Yeah."
Rosika: "That was amazing...I'd like to say."
They caught him.
Sophie: "Alright, kid...We've got you."
Teenager: "What do you want?"
Fiona: "Did you steal this bag?"
Teenager: "No...It's not...I..."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Teenager: "There was money inside...Please...My mother is sick."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "Ugh."
Rosika: "Huh..."
Sophie: "...Hmm...Kid, that still doesn't make it okay..."
Fiona: "Yeah. Be glad we're not the police. Otherwise you'd be in serious trouble, and your mother would just worry herself even more."
Teenager: "Please...She's seriously ill...And I can't find my father...I live alone with my mother and little sister."
Sophie: "Alone?"
Teenager: "Yeah."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Hahh."
Rosika: "Hmm."
They took out some money.
Rosika: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Here. Take it."
Fiona: "Take the money and give it to the doctor. That's five hundred coins."
Rosika: "Here, take mine too...You might need it."
She added another two hundred coins.
Teenager: "That's too much."
Sophie: "It's okay...But please give us the bag back."
Fiona: "Please."
Teenager: "Okay."
He handed it back.
Sophie: "Thank you."
Fiona: "Hmm...Let's go back to the woman."
Rosika: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Yeah."
They headed back.
Rosika: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Hahhh..."
Fiona: "Well...That's it for me...I don't have any money left."
Sophie: "Me neither."
Rosika: "Hmm."
They went inside.
Sophie: "Oh...The woman's here too."
Unknown Woman: "Oh, there you are."
Fiona: "Here. We found it."
Unknown Woman: "Thank you...Where was it?"
Fiona: "At the park. Don't ask which one. I honestly have no idea anymore."
Rosika: "Hmm."
Unknown Woman: "Thank you so much...Here...Fifty coins."
Sophie: "Oh...Thanks."
She took the bag and left.
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Hahhh...Hopefully there's something good on TV."
Rosika: "Hmm."
They sat back down on the sofa.
Fiona: "Hmm...Hahh."
Sophie: "Hey...Want to watch a movie?"
Fiona: "Yeah...Something exciting, please."
Rosika: "Yeah..."
Sophie: "I've got one...The movie starring Hans von Petersen."
Fiona: "Is that the actor with the line...Ohh...It's time to shine?"
Sophie: "Yeah!"
Fiona: "Okay."
Rosika: "Hmm."
They got started. Sophie sat beside Rosika.
Sophie: "Hmm...It's starting!"
Fiona: "Mhm."
Rosika: "Hmm...What about the others?"
Sophie: "Lina! Violet! Siegfried! Movie?!"
She shouted loudly.
Lina: "Huh?"
Violet: "Oh, sure!"
Siegfried: "I've got nothing better to do."
They sat down.
Lina: "Hmm."
Violet: "Hehehe...Which movie?"
Sophie: "The one with Hans Petersen..."
Violet: "Ohh...Is that the guy with 'Oh, it's time to shine' or something?"
Sophie: "Yep."
They watched the movie.
Unknown Woman: "Please find my daughter!"
Hans Petersen: "Ohh...It's time to shine."
Sophie: "Hehehe."
Fiona: "Hmm."
(Tick!)
The lights went out again.
Sophie: "Ohhhh...Come on!"
Siegfried: "What's wrong with the electricity?"
The lights came back on.
Sophie: "Ohh...It's working again."
(Tick!)
Out again.
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "This is starting to get weird...I'll go check the basement."
Siegfried: "I'll come with you."
They went downstairs.
Siegfried: "Eww...Creepy."
Fiona: "Yeah...It's my first time down here..."
They looked around.
Siegfried: "There it is."
He turned it on.
(Dong!)
Siegfried: "Ugh!"
Fiona: "Huh!"
A face suddenly appeared just as the lights went out.
Siegfried: "D-D-Did you see that?"
Fiona: "Yeah..."
Siegfried: "Hahhh...Um...Fiona...Are you scared?"
Fiona: "What? No."
Her leg was trembling.
Siegfried: "Hmm...Well...Your legs are saying something different...Anyway...I think we just imagined it."
Fiona: "Hmm."
They kept walking.
(Dong!)
The face appeared again.
Siegfried: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Huh!"
Siegfried: "Okay...Now I've definitely seen it again."
Fiona: "Me too..."
Siegfried: "Is...Someone in here?"
Fiona: "Can you hear us?"
Sophie: "Yeah. Is something wrong?"
Siegfried: "Don't come down here. There's someone here."
Sophie: "Huh?!"
Fiona: "Stay where you are."
Siegfried: "Hmm..."
(Click!)
Siegfried: "Aaaaaargh!"
Fiona: "Aaaaaaargh!"
The lights came on.
Meliodas: "What's going on?"
Siegfried: "It was you?"
Fiona: "Oh...Master."
Meliodas: "I was here to...Um..."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
They looked down.
Siegfried: "Hmm...You're...Eating down here?...What exactly?"
Fiona: "Looks like sweets."
Meliodas: "Please don't tell anyone...It's embarrassing."
Both of them collapsed to the floor in relief.
Siegfried: "Hahhh...All that fear for nothing."
Fiona: "Wait...Then why did the lights keep going out? Why was the electricity shutting off?"
Meliodas: "Oh...That wasn't me..."
Siegfried: "Huh?"
Fiona: "What?"
Someone appeared behind him.
Siegfried: "AAAAAAAARGHHH!"
Fiona: "OHHH...!!!!"
Meliodas: "Hmm AAAAAAAARGHHH!"
Unknown Person: "Please calm down...I'm...Just a homeless man."
Siegfried: "Oh."
Fiona: "Hahhh...Why did you shut off the electricity?"
Homeless Man: "Sorry...I was trying to warm myself up and pressed every button I could find."
Siegfried: "Ahh...It's okay."
Fiona: "Yeah...Come on out...We'll make you something warm to eat...We'll watch the movie la
