[00:02] Civillians{unmarked AD}
What is it?
[00:03] Civillians{unmarked AD}
It happened again.
[00:04] Henrique
Yeah, that sounds good.
[00:07] Henrique
Thanks.
[00:08] Henrique
Hey, Dali-boy.
[00:11] Dali
What's the situation?
[00:12] Henrique
Same old, you could say.
[00:15] Henrique
Nothing on the victims to connect them.
[00:18] Henrique
No reason to say it wasn't random.
[00:22] Henrique
All complete with the usual party favor.
[00:31] Gerhard
What is it, Dali?
[00:33] Dali
The original vampire, the TRUE OF VAMP...
[00:37] Dali
Our entire race is said
to trace back to this one entity.
[00:42] Dino
If the documents held by the Vlad
family are to believed, yes.
[00:46] Dali
TRUMP is said to have initiative that
supersedes all other Vamps',
[00:50] Dali
and is linked to all of us on a mental level.
[00:55] Dali
That in mind, do you think these killings
have reached the TRUE OF VAMP in some way?
[01:00] Gerhard
As part of a Grand Guignol, you mean?
[01:04] Dali
I do wonder what TRUMP might
feel over these murders...
[01:07] Dali
or even think about them.

Delico's Nursery
SIGN A Cursed Called Love
[02:48] Student A
Hey, look there.
[02:49] Student B
Oh, it's Teacher Claus.
[02:52] Student C
With his head in the clouds again.
[02:54] Student D
Just leave him be.
[02:57] Claus
More lovely weather today.
[03:03] Johannes
You're now accepting help
from your staff, then?
[03:06] Dali
Yes. Putting the proper personnel
to their proper uses...
[03:10] Dali
That's how a leader ought
to conduct their business, I believe.
[03:16] Johannes
I did feel you were overdoing it
a bit when it came to the children.
[03:21] Dali
I've got Gerhard, Henrique,
and Dino helping now too.
[03:25] Dali
Granted, I'm also helping with their children.
[03:30] Johannes
I'm glad to hear it.
[03:31] Dali
Not only are we all brothers of the Vlad
Agency, but we're fatherly friends as well.
[03:37] Dali
They all know how to change Ul's diapers now.
[03:41] Johannes
My, you don't say.
[03:43] Dali
Moreover, just the other day,
Ul finally played peekaboo!
[03:47] Johnanes
Remarkable! Peekaboo?
[03:49] Dali
Indeed! There's no end
to the hardships of parenting,
[03:53] Dali
but seeing children grow like that...
[03:56] Dali
It makes you forget all the exhaustion.
[03:58] Johannes
Remember, children grow so very quickly.
[04:01] Johannes
Make sure to savor every moment you can get!
[04:05] Dali
But of course, sir.
[04:08] Dali
In fact, to tell you the truth,
[04:10] Dali
I've started chronicling
my parenting adventures.
[04:13] Dali
Raphael's already grown
compared to last week—
[04:21] Maurice
We are here to hear a status report
on the investigation,
[04:24] Maurice
not about your child-rearing antics!
[04:27] Maurice
Lord Johannes, please, do not indulge him
in this chitchat about fatherly pursuits.
[04:33] Johnanes
Come now, it's fine.
[04:36] Johnanes
Balancing child-rearing with the
investigation is the nursery's objective.
[04:40] Maurice
If we cannot pin down
the culprits responsible,
[04:43] Maurice
we should attend to TRUMP's safety.
[04:46] Johannes
Sir Maurice... TRUMP's whereabouts are
a secret of the highest confidentiality.
[04:51] Johannes
Even within the Vlad Agency, only myself,
Sir Umberto the deputy director,
[04:57] Johannes
and the few agents responsible
for surveillance have that information.
[05:01] Maurice
The time for such precaution has passed!
[05:04] Maurice
Should this lead to a collapse...
[05:06] Maurice
If this leads to a collapse,
what will we do then?!
[05:15] Dali
Where are the children?
[05:16] Henrique
Finally down for a nap.
[05:19] Dino
Have our two visitors left?
[05:22] Dali
Yes.
[05:23] Henrique
Lord Maurice seemed really
hot under the collar.
[05:29] Dali
I must say, I'm shocked to see how anxious
the Vlad Agency's third-in-command is.
[05:35] Gerard
That's not the kind of thing you should
say about a superior officer, Dali.
[05:38] Henrique
So, what's the deal?
[05:40] Dali
Well, Lord Maurice is
worried about a collapse.
[05:45] Henrique
A collapse? A breakdown of Vamp society...
[05:48] Gerhard
In our entire history, there have only been
a handful of such catastrophes.
[05:53] Gerhard
We can't afford to let another happen.
[05:56] Dino
The most recent was over eighty years ago,
[05:59] Dino
with the greatest number
of casualties in recorded history.
[06:04] Gerhard
A mass mortality event, caused by
a decline in the TRUE OF VAMP's mental state.
[06:10] Gerhard
TRUMP may be immortal,
but if afflicted with suicidal thoughts...
[06:14] Gerhard
Vamps all across the world,
by all manner of means,
[06:19] Gerhard
will begin to kill themselves
in devastating numbers.
[06:23] Henrique
Which is why the Vlad Agency
[06:25] Henrique
must work to make sure our god
stays in a good mood.
[06:29] Henrique
Kinda like babysitting, actually.
[06:31] Dino
It's said that TRUMP abstains from interaction
[06:34] Dino
and lives a reclusive existence...
[06:38] Dino
with a mind that is fragile and unstable.
[06:41] Gerhard
If the group responsible for the murders
makes contact with TRUMP,
[06:47] Gerhard
it may well cause a new collapse.
[06:52] Henrique
I have no idea where TRUMP might be,
[06:54] Henrique
but having a moody god means no
end of trouble for the likes of us.
[07:03] Dali
Sounds like someone's awake.
[07:15] Catarina
Well, you certainly took your time.
[07:18] Maurice
Try to consider the position I'm in.
[07:21] Maurice
If anyone saw me coming, it'd all be over.
[07:23] Keith
And? How's the investigation
going, proud Lord Maurice?
[07:29] Maurice
There's been no progress.
[07:31] Maurice
They're waiting to see what you do next.
[07:34] Kiki
Sounds like they don't intend
to stop the killings.
[07:38] Kiki
Kind of a smart move if you think about it.
[07:41] Juras
Their only concern is us making
contact with the TRUE OF VAMP.
[07:46] Catarina
And they don't care who
or how many must die otherwise.
[07:50] Catarina
Honestly, it's downright coldblooded.
[07:53] Keith
So, are they moving to provide
the TRUE OF VAMP with protection?
[07:57] Catarina
Surely they plan on doing
something, don't they?
[08:01] Juras
They must realize the risk of an intel leak
if they don't act carefully.
[08:07] Catarina
You think they know what we're after?
[08:10] Keith
They might have an idea,
[08:12] Keith
considering at least one of them
seems to have a sharp intuition.
[08:14] Kiki
You mean Dali Delico.
[08:16] Kiki
He is such a pain in the ass.
[08:18] Catarina
If they won't make a move,
we'll just have to shake things up.
[08:21] Kiki
Why not have this guy spill the beans already?
[08:24] Kiki
Tell us where to find the TRUE OF VAMP.
[08:26] Maurice
Wh-What are you talking about?
[08:28] Catarina
I'm sure you're aware,
[08:30] Catarina
but Vamps in their cocoon phases
are rather emotionally unstable.
[08:33] Catarina
Delusions and hallucinations
tend to be pretty common.
[08:36] Kiki
I love everyone in the world so much,
I don't know what to do about it!
[08:41] Kiki
Which is why I'm gonna love you to death!
[08:46] Maurice
I-I don't know anything!
Nothing about TRUMP's whereabouts...
[08:52] Keith
By my initiative, I command you...
[08:55] Keith
Kneel.
[09:06] Keith
I hold initiative over you,
[09:10] Keith
meaning you've got to do whatever I say.
[09:16] Dali
There, there. Good boy.
[09:18] Dali
They say children who sleep lots grow lots.
[09:21] Dali
That makes sleeping your job.
[09:26] Dali
Oh, Raphael. I see you're up.
[09:29] Dali
It's almost snack time.
Ask Clara to make you something.
[09:34] Raphael
No.
[09:37] Dali
Don't want anything? Then you
should probably nap a bit more.
[09:40] Raphael
No.
[09:41] Dali
I see.
[09:43] Dali
Why don't I read for you, then?
[09:45] Dali
Any book you'd like.
[09:48] Raphael
No!
[09:51] Dali
Then we can play tag in the garden—
[09:53] Raphael
No! Don't wanna!
[09:57] Dali
There, there.
[09:59] Dali
Your shouting has woken Ul up now.
[10:03] Dali
Come on, play peekaboo with him.
[10:05] Raphael
No!
[10:07] Dali
What are you so upset about?
You're Ul's big brother.
[10:11] Dali
Look, Ul, your brother's going
to play peekaboo with you.
[10:16] Dali
Go on, Raphael.
[10:17] Raphael
No!
[10:27] Dali
All right, Raphael! Apologize to Ul!
[10:30] Raphael
No! I'm not sorry!
[10:32] Dali
You made him cry!
[10:34] Dali
Now apologize!
[10:35] Raphael
I don't want to!
[10:37] Dali
That's quite enough!
[10:38] Raphael
I wish Ul was dead!
[11:03] Gerhard
What's all the commotion, Dali?
SIGN Delico's Nursery
[11:15] Dali
Acting like a baby?
[11:17] Gerhard
Toddlers beyond a certain age
can often start acting like babies again.
[11:24] Dali
What's the cause?
[11:25] Gerhard
In most cases, it's tied to the
presence of a younger sibling.
[11:29] Dali
What? You're saying that Ul is
the reason Raphael's doing this?
[11:33] Henrique
Sounds likely to me.
[11:35] Henrique
Although my girls started their
"no" phase when they were two.
[11:40] Dino
Then it's a late "no" phase, I suppose.
[11:44] Dali
What in the world is a "no" phase?
[11:46] Gerhard
A form of self-expression children go through
during the formation of their identity.
[11:51] Gerhard
They lack a broader grasp of language,
[11:53] Gerhard
so they simply reply "no" to everything.
[11:56] Gerhard
It's also known as the
first rebellious phase.
[11:59] Henrique
Wow. You sure know your stuff.
[12:01] Gerhard
Obviously.
[12:03] Gerhard
I've perused all the material I could find
regarding the phenomenon.
[12:09] Dali
So, what am I supposed to do?
[12:10] Dino
There's naught to do but accept it.
[12:12] Dino
Raising your voice or getting physical
is out of the question.
[12:17] Dali
Raphael's been so timid since he was born.
[12:21] Dali
He's never caused trouble like this before.
[12:24] Dali
He's always done as I said, too.
[12:27] Dali
Maybe that was just me being spoiled.
[12:33] Keith
Go on, keep at it.
[12:35] Keith
Dance some more!
[12:37] Keith
Put on a good show for us.
[12:40] Kiki
He looks like an idiot! That's hilarious!
[12:44] Catarina
You shouldn't laugh so much, Kiki. It's mean.
[12:48] Maurice
P-Please... enough...
[12:53] Keith
Fine. Then die.
[12:55] Keith
I wanna see you choke yourself to death.
[13:09] Keith
Go on. Don't take all damn day.
[13:17] Juras
Give it a rest. We still have a use for him.
[13:22] Keith
Then no more dying.
[13:26] Catarina
If only we could've used initiative
[13:29] Catarina
to make him tell us
about TRUMP from the start.
[13:31] Kiki
We wouldn't have needed to do all
this other crap that way.
[13:35] Keith
Hey, tell us everything you know
about the TRUE OF VAMP.
[13:43] Maurice
That is not happening.
[13:45] Maurice
You can threaten me,
take my family hostage...
[13:49] Maurice
but I have nothing to tell you
about the TRUE OF VAMP!
[13:53] Catarina
What an absolute pain.
[13:55] Catarina
I suppose this is anti-initiative at work?
[13:58] Juras
Looks like they're making sure no
intel about TRUMP gets out.
[14:02] Keith
It's not just this guy, either.
[14:05] Keith
I'm pretty sure everyone in the
Vlad Agency's been treated with it.
[14:11] Catarina
Who could even do that?
[14:15] Keith
Johannes Vlad.
[14:17] Keith
He leads an illustrious
house from the old days.
[14:20] Keith
Their family head has always served
as the director of the Vlad Agency.
[14:24] Keith
He probably used his initiative.
[14:27] Catarina
A requirement in order to join the agency...
[14:31] Catarina
You could even call it an initiation.
[14:34] Kiki
Isn't it against the rules to bite people
to gain initiative over them?
[14:38] Juras
Just goes to show how seriously
they take info security regarding TRUMP.
[14:45] Juras
I'd presumed that once they learned
who we are, they'd move to protect TRUMP,
[14:50] Juras
which would allow us
to suss out a location, but...
[14:54] Keith
It's fine. Our plan's just getting started.
[14:58] Keith
Now, my initiative slave, I've
got some more work for you to do.
[15:09] Clara
Sir?
[15:10] Dali
Clara.
[15:12] Clara
I see he's sleeping quite soundly.
[15:15] Dali
Indeed.
[15:17] Clara
I heard about what happened
with young Master Raphael.
[15:20] Dali
Right...
[15:22] Dali
You have children of your own, don't you?
[15:25] Clara
Yes, five of them. All boys.
[15:28] Dali
Raising five boys is rather impressive.
[15:31] Dali
I find my hands full with just two.
[15:34] Clara
Whether it's one or ten,
rearing children is never easy.
[15:40] Dali
How did you handle it?
[15:42] Clara
I did everything I could...
[15:44] Clara
Except for when I took it easy.
[15:48] Dali
Taking it easy, eh?
[15:50] Clara
There's no such thing as a
perfect parent, after all.
[15:53] Dali
I've always thought there was
nothing Dali Delico couldn't do.
[15:58] Dali
But right now, I have no idea
what to do about Raphael.
[16:03] Clara
If you don't know,
you'll just have to think on it.
[16:06] Dali
Yes, I suppose you're right.
[16:08] Dali
The Delicos are upper crust
even among aristocratic families.
[16:12] Dali
I need to raise him right,
as his proud noble heritage demands.
[16:16] Clara
Sir.
[16:18] Clara
This isn't about an
aristocrat raising a child.
[16:21] Clara
That's a parent's job.
[16:24] Dali
Right. I'll keep that in mind.
[16:59] Lucia
One of you is the culprit!
[17:02] Henrique
Miss Detective, whatever do you mean?
[17:05] Lucia
You're the one who ate
all of our cake for himself!
[17:10] Elena
O-Oh no! I can't believe
Mister Dino would do such a thing!
[17:15] Dino
What is the basis for this?
[17:17] Dino
What proof have you that I did the deed?
[17:20] Dino
Making such an accusation without any
evidence is a serious case of defamation.
[17:27] Lucia
Y-You're supposed to say, "Indeed, it was me!"
[17:30] Elena
Hey, Papa...
[17:31] Elena
Playing with Mister Dino isn't very fun.
[17:35] Dino
I don't care for your tone.
[17:36] Henrique
Aw, come on, Dino.
[17:38] Henrique
Play along a little. I'm sure you
played pretend with Theodore, right?
[17:43] Dino
I bid you not to make such assumptions.
[17:46] Dino
Theodore has been receiving an
education with an eye toward
[17:50] Dino
leading the Classico household from
the moment he could stand upright!
[17:54] Elena
You mean Theodore has never
played pretend before?
[17:57] Lucia
That poor boy.
[17:59] Dino
He's in a thoroughly different
league from the two of you!
[18:02] Henrique
Hey, watch what you say.
[18:05] Elena
You know, we should get
Theodore to play with us.
[18:08] Lucia
Good idea.
[18:12] Gerhard
The Police of the Blood will be
increasing security around town.
[18:17] Gerhard
They're also working on
gathering eyewitness reports.
[18:20] Dali
They won't find anything.
[18:22] Gerhard
Still, over the last two weeks,
there've been no new incidents.
[18:27] Gerhard
Maybe our foe is being
more cautious now, too.
[18:29] Dali
I wouldn't be so sure.
[18:31] Gerhard
Thoughts occupied with your children?
[18:34] Gerhard
You're not being your usual irritating self.
[18:40] Dali
I'm just at something of a loss
regarding Raphael's "no" phase.
[18:47] Dali
It's rather a problem.
[18:48] Gerhard
Where does this fixation
on child-rearing come from?
[18:52] Dali
Is there something wrong with a parent
focusing on raising his child?
[18:55] Gerhard
I know it was my suggestion to balance
the children with the mission,
[18:59] Gerhard
but your pains to that end are still extreme.
[19:03] Gerhard
Why?
[19:04] Dali
Because that's what Frida wanted.
[19:09] Gerhard
It's a curse.
[19:11] Dali
A curse?
[19:12] Gerhard
Yes, a curse called love.
[19:16] Dali
Gerhard, how can you say something
so florid so unabashedly?
[19:21] Gerhard
I am quite serious!
[19:23] Gerhard
Dali, Frida's wish has shackled you!
[19:27] Gerhard
It is nothing less than a curse!
[19:30] Dali
Gerhard...
[19:31] Dali
The same applies to you.
[19:38] Ferdinand
Sir.
[19:39] Dali
What is it?
[19:40] Ferdinand
Lord Johannes is here.
[19:44] Gerhard
You're saying that documents regarding
the Vlad Agency have been stolen?
[19:49] Johannes
Indeed.
[19:50] Johannes
An internal investigation is underway,
[19:52] Johannes
but we already know who's responsible.
[19:54] Henrique
Well, who is it?
[19:58] Johannes
Sir Maurice.
[20:03] Dino
We'd suspected a leak, but this is...
[20:07] Lane
We apprehended Sir Maurice immediately.
[20:11] Lane
We were questioning him
in secret. However...
[20:16] (Flashback) Maurice
Lord Johannes, please,
you must save our people!
[20:20] (Flashback) Maurice
They intend to... The TRUE OF VAMP...
[20:27] Dino
He killed himself, did he?
[20:30] Lane
Sir Maurice's body was sent
for an autopsy at once.
[20:34] Lane
It revealed bite marks on his shoulder.
[20:39] Dali
Someone had initiative over him.
[20:41] Johannes
None of the stolen documents included
information on the TRUE OF VAMP.
[20:47] Johannes
However...
[20:48] Lane
Among them was a roster
of Vlad Agency operatives.
[20:53] Lane
Chances are our enemy now has that intel.
[20:56] Henrique
Which means this place could
come under attack at any time.
[20:59] Johannes
None of this has been made public yet.
[21:03] Johannes
I'm sorry, Sir Dali Delico, but I'm
afraid we must close the nursery.
[21:13] Lucia
Oh, there he is!
[21:14] Elena
Hey, Theodore, you should play dolls with us!
[21:19] Lucia
Come on!
[21:22] Theodore
I'm reading right now.
[21:24] Elena
You can do that anytime.
[21:27] Lucia
Come on and play with us.
[21:29] Theodore
Shut up!
[21:31] Theodore
I'm not going to play with children like you!
[21:34] Lucia
You don't have to be so mean, Theodore!
[21:36] Elena
Let's go, Lucia.
[21:41] Theodore
I...
[21:44] Theodore
I have to be a proper
aristocrat like my father.
