[00:42] ---
It seemed like it had been decided long before
[00:48] ---
It seemed like we knew long ago
[00:54] ---
As if we followed an invisible line
[01:00] ---
We were led to each other,
to an intersecting saison
[01:05] ---
Like how light and dark
are two sides of the same coin
[01:11] ---
I was captivated by mystification
[01:17] ---
When I turned around toward the voice
that whispered in my ear
[01:23] ---
The door had opened before I realized
[01:28] ---
Like joining a little chance with inevitability
[01:34] ---
Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[01:46] ---
Continuing on forever
[02:00] ---
Kazuya Kujo!
[02:01] ---
You're under arrest for murder!
[02:13] ---
That's a good look for you, Kujo.
[02:17] ---
No, it isn't!
[02:19] ---
Really, why drag me out to a place like this?
[02:22] ---
Victorique! Help me!
[02:27] ---
Fine. It will relieve my boredom.
[02:30] ---
Report everything you saw and thought,
[02:32] ---
with perfect frankness,
down to the state of your butthole.
[02:36] ---
I... I don't want to talk about
what I was thinking...
[02:40] ---
A gentleman must have
one or two playful secrets...
[02:43] ---
If you're a gentleman, then I must be a god.
[02:46] ---
Go on. Talk!
[02:48] ---
B-But...
[02:55] ---
This morning, our dorm mother, Miss Sophie,
asked me to go out and buy some things.
[02:58] ---
Episode 4
The Golden Thread Shreds the Moment
[03:02] ---
"Five hundred grams of ricotta cheese..."
[03:04] ---
"One kilogram of ham..."
[03:06] ---
The women of this country are so demanding.
[03:09] ---
Sophie, Victorique...
[03:12] ---
I sure did make friends with a weird girl.
[03:17] ---
But I might still meet a
wonderful girl all my own!
[03:22] ---
Wait, what am I thinking?
[03:25] ---
But if I could meet a girl like that...
[03:29] ---
...I'd love her to be blonde!
[03:31] ---
That dazzling hair color
we don't have in my country...
[03:35] ---
That's right, Victorique is blonde, too.
[04:09] ---
Then, when I told the inspector...
[04:15] ---
I started yelling about how it was you
who solved the Queen Berry case,
[04:19] ---
and he finally agreed to bring me here!
[04:21] ---
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[04:23] ---
Don't you appreciate my kindness
in specially granting your request?
[04:28] ---
Besides, it's impossible to
jump onto a moving motorbike,
[04:31] ---
and cut off the rider's head.
[04:33] ---
Thus, it is clear that the deed was done
after the motorbike stopped.
[04:39] ---
And you were the only person at the scene!
[04:42] ---
True, but...
[04:45] ---
Look at this!
[04:46] ---
It was wound around a tree on the scene.
[04:49] ---
It has the blood of the victim on it.
[04:52] ---
I don't know exactly what you did,
but you used it somehow, didn't you?
[04:56] ---
Just confess already,
you bloodthirsty demon squirrel!
[05:00] ---
I told you, I didn't do anything!
[05:02] ---
You can cut off the rider's head
without getting close to the bike.
[05:07] ---
Wh-What are you talking about now?
[05:10] ---
I didn't say it!
[05:12] ---
What do you mean?
[05:13] ---
That wire...
[05:16] ---
If it was strung across the road...
[05:38] ---
Thanks, Victorique!
[05:39] ---
I owe you again!
[05:41] ---
Really, thank you so much!
[05:45] ---
The true killer will be a blonde girl.
[05:50] ---
She'll have wounds on her fingers.
[05:52] ---
You should search the
surgical hospitals, Grévil.
[05:55] ---
What?!
[05:57] ---
W-Wait! Wh-What does that...?!
[06:01] ---
Hey, what did you mean by that?
[06:04] ---
It's the result of my cogitation.
[06:06] ---
That which bubbled forth
from my wellspring of wisdom.
[06:09] ---
So...
[06:13] ---
You leave me no choice.
[06:15] ---
I'll explain it.
[06:18] ---
Think about it.
[06:20] ---
Why did the culprit choose
such an elaborate method?
[06:24] ---
I don't know...
[06:25] ---
Fear of the victim.
[06:28] ---
The killer must be a woman or a child.
[06:31] ---
They chose this method because they
were physically weaker than the victim.
[06:36] ---
But why the wounds on her fingers?
[06:39] ---
There was blood on the edges of the wires
unlikely to be from the victim.
[06:44] ---
When tying or attempting to remove the wire,
she likely cut her fingers.
[06:50] ---
She left it there and ran
because you were there.
[06:53] ---
But why a blonde girl?
[06:56] ---
It was part of your embarrassing daydream.
[06:59] ---
Humans see things...
They react to visual stimuli.
[07:03] ---
Do you understand?
[07:04] ---
Y-Yeah...
[07:06] ---
Now, why did your thoughts on the road
turn unbidden toward dull, lustful daydreams?
[07:13] ---
D-Don't call it lust!
[07:16] ---
You likely saw a blonde girl
out of the corner of your eye.
[07:21] ---
That's what led to your daydream.
An unconscious sighting of the culprit.
[07:27] ---
I saw the culprit? A blonde girl?
[07:32] ---
But why would she do something like that?
[07:37] ---
I'm bored again.
[07:40] ---
I wish you'd brought me
a more substantial case.
[07:44] ---
I didn't exactly choose this one!
[07:46] ---
You'd better provide me
with ample compensation.
[07:49] ---
Compensation?
[07:51] ---
Something that won't bore me.
[07:53] ---
I don't understand.
[07:55] ---
After what I just went through,
as your friend...
[07:58] ---
Wait, are you mad that I compared you
to the girl I imagined?
[08:05] ---
Enough. Leave.
[08:08] ---
That's why I don't like talking to you.
[08:10] ---
Shut up.
[08:11] ---
You're interrupting my reading. Leave!
[08:15] ---
I told you to leave!
[08:17] ---
Fine!
[08:18] ---
You want me to leave, right?
[08:20] ---
Thanks for helping me!
[08:22] ---
Bye!
[08:26] ---
Victorique is so bossy.
[08:34] ---
I'm so sorry, Mr. Kujo.
[08:36] ---
All because I asked you to run an errand...
[08:39] ---
Well, it worked out okay.
[08:42] ---
This is on the house!
[08:48] ---
Just as Victorique said,
the culprit was a blonde girl.
[08:52] ---
According to the paper, she didn't
say a word about her motive.
[08:57] ---
But anyway, that closed the case.
[09:00] ---
My innocence was proven.
[09:02] ---
But...
[09:04] ---
First the ghost ship,
then the decapitation...
[09:06] ---
Everywhere he goes, he brings death!
[09:10] ---
He really is the
Black Reaper Who Comes in Spring!
[09:14] ---
I heard he's been talking to the
Golden Fairy in the Library lately.
[09:18] ---
Really?
[09:19] ---
Golden Fairy in the Library?
[09:22] ---
Is that...?
[09:25] ---
Morning!
[09:32] ---
We have a wonderful friend joining us
on this wonderful morning!
[09:36] ---
A transfer student from England,
Miss Avril Bradley!
[09:39] ---
You guys get along, okay?
[09:42] ---
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[09:44] ---
Now, for your seat...
[09:46] ---
The one next to Mr. Kujo is open, I believe!
[09:50] ---
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[09:51] ---
Mr. Kujo is a transfer student, too.
[09:54] ---
Really?
[09:56] ---
Here's your chance to make a friend!
[09:58] ---
Good luck!
[09:59] ---
Y-Yeah...
[10:08] ---
Here.
[10:11] ---
Thanks.
[10:18] ---
What is it?
[10:19] ---
N-Nothing.
[10:23] ---
What am I thinking?
[10:24] ---
They caught the killer...
[10:31] ---
Miss Bradley, let's get lunch together!
[10:34] ---
Just call me Avril.
[10:35] ---
Avril, shall we show you around the school?
[10:38] ---
Come on, tell us all about England!
[10:41] ---
They never asked about my country
or offered to show me around...
[10:48] ---
Kujo, right?
[10:50] ---
It's Kazuya Kujo, isn't it?
[10:53] ---
Yeah. That's right.
[10:55] ---
I hope you'll teach me things,
as a fellow transfer student.
[10:58] ---
Okay, but...
[11:00] ---
A-Avril...
[11:02] ---
Th-That's...
[11:06] ---
I don't have to.
[11:09] ---
The kids in this school do love
their ghost stories, don't they?
[11:14] ---
The Ghost in the Abandoned Warehouse.
[11:16] ---
The Curse of the Thirteenth Step.
[11:18] ---
The Golden Fairy in the Library.
[11:20] ---
Yeah...
[11:22] ---
The Black Reaper Who Comes in Spring.
[11:25] ---
Let's be friends, okay?
[11:27] ---
R-Right...
[11:31] ---
Really?
[11:33] ---
So that's why they call you the Black Reaper?
[11:35] ---
It's not funny.
[11:37] ---
Sorry.
[11:38] ---
But everyone really does believe that, huh?
[11:41] ---
Hey, did you know about
The Curse of the Thirteenth Step?
[11:45] ---
No, I don't.
[11:47] ---
More precisely, it's The Thirteenth Step
on the Stairway to Heaven.
[11:51] ---
They say that long ago,
on the 13th step of a staircase,
[11:54] ---
a teacher tripped and snapped their neck.
[11:57] ---
Ever since then, anyone who lingers
on that step gets dragged into the afterlife.
[12:04] ---
Of course, there's no such thing as ghosts.
[12:07] ---
But this school sure is fun.
[12:09] ---
It might make for great adventures!
[12:11] ---
Adventures?
[12:13] ---
My grandfather was an adventurer.
[12:15] ---
Do you know Sir Bradley?
[12:18] ---
He did things like touring Africa in a car,
[12:19] ---
and crossing the Atlantic
in a hot air balloon.
[12:23] ---
I think I've heard of him...
[12:25] ---
In the end, he went off in
his balloon and disappeared...
[12:29] ---
But my dream is to become
an adventurer like him.
[12:36] ---
So, let's have an adventure!
[12:38] ---
Come on! Show me around!
[12:42] ---
Sorry to make you come along with me.
[12:44] ---
Well, I didn't have anything else to do.
[12:46] ---
What's that?
[12:49] ---
That's the library.
[12:51] ---
I wonder if she's reading right now.
[12:54] ---
They're both girls, but they're
completely different...
[12:58] ---
Victorique's so short-tempered and bossy.
[13:03] ---
The mysterious Victorique...
[13:05] ---
And...
[13:07] ---
The dangerous Victorique...
[13:10] ---
My mother was a dangerous person
under government watch.
[13:14] ---
I was raised alone, in a small room
deep in the Blois mansion.
[13:19] ---
And even after I was allowed
into this school...
[13:25] ---
I should probably make up with her.
[13:28] ---
But how do I find something
that won't bore her?
[13:32] ---
Kujo?
[13:37] ---
What's wrong?
[13:38] ---
N-Nothing!
[13:41] ---
Were you thinking about a girl?
[13:45] ---
N-No!
[13:48] ---
Let's go that way!
[13:50] ---
R-Right...
[13:53] ---
A blonde girl...
[13:55] ---
A girl all my own...
[14:00] ---
How did you hurt yourself?
[14:07] ---
Nothing special.
[14:09] ---
I just tripped.
[14:16] ---
Mr. Kujo!
[14:17] ---
Avril!
[14:19] ---
Are you out for a walk?
[14:20] ---
Yes! Kujo is showing me
around the school!
[14:27] ---
That hurt! Wh-What are you doing?
[14:29] ---
Ow!
[14:29] ---
Oh, you!
[14:31] ---
Ms. Cécile!
[14:32] ---
Stop it!
[14:33] ---
That hurts!
[14:35] ---
Hey!
[14:36] ---
I have a favor to ask my two little friends!
[14:41] ---
An orderly passed away.
[14:43] ---
We're preparing his funeral service.
[14:45] ---
Do you think you could help?
[14:49] ---
One, two...
[14:53] ---
It looks rather rusted over...
[14:55] ---
They haven't used this place for eight years.
[14:58] ---
I'll help.
[14:59] ---
Thanks, kid.
[15:02] ---
One, two!
[15:07] ---
Almost got it!
[15:28] ---
Ms. Cécile!
[15:30] ---
Ms. Cécile!
[15:31] ---
Are you okay?
[15:33] ---
Ms. Cécile, speak to me!
[15:35] ---
I-I'll fetch the police!
[15:37] ---
I-I'll go, too!
[15:38] ---
Thanks!
[15:40] ---
Huh? Avril!
[15:55] ---
The Black Reaper again?
[15:57] ---
It had to be...
[15:59] ---
The Black Reaper Who Comes in Spring...
[16:01] ---
Scary...
[16:07] ---
Is this my compensation?
[16:18] ---
What is this thing?
[16:20] ---
They're called kaminari okoshi.
[16:27] ---
It's outrageously crunchy.
[16:29] ---
Kujo, is this supposed to be a delicacy?
[16:31] ---
Enough. Let's talk about Avril!
[16:34] ---
What was that book?
[16:36] ---
And she acted strangely when
I asked about her injury, too.
[16:40] ---
I believe that case was resolved.
[16:42] ---
But I can't stop thinking about it.
[16:44] ---
Anyway, if the corpse fell out
the moment you opened the door,
[16:50] ---
that means he must have been alive
when he was locked in.
[16:54] ---
He pounded on the door, begging for help,
and eventually ran out of strength.
[16:59] ---
The mausoleum hadn't been
used for eight years.
[17:02] ---
Was he sealed in, then?
[17:07] ---
Oh, here you are, my little squirrel!
[17:10] ---
Wh-What do you want?
[17:13] ---
A few words with you.
[17:15] ---
Ahem!
[17:16] ---
It regards the case of the mummified knight.
[17:21] ---
We found out the deceased's identity.
It appears he's a man named Maxime.
[17:26] ---
He's a graduate of this academy.
[17:28] ---
He would return in spring, stay for
a while, then go back to traveling.
[17:32] ---
A curious man indeed.
[17:35] ---
Fraud, extortion, robbery...
[17:37] ---
There were many rumors
about his illicit dealings.
[17:39] ---
But eight years ago in spring,
he disappeared abruptly.
[17:43] ---
So he was trapped in there?
[17:45] ---
Eight years ago, a student named
Millie Marle passed away from an illness.
[17:49] ---
The mausoleum hasn't been opened since then.
[17:52] ---
It seems the key had been
stolen just before then,
[17:55] ---
but a new one was made immediately,
and it was carefully guarded.
[18:00] ---
When Millie Marle was laid to rest,
naturally, Maxime was not there.
[18:04] ---
So how did he get in, and when?
[18:07] ---
Why was he dressed as a knight?
[18:09] ---
What of the bouquet on his chest?
[18:11] ---
What is the meaning of this?!
[18:14] ---
How should I know?
[18:15] ---
Hey, Victorique...
[18:18] ---
It certainly is substantial.
[18:20] ---
What kind of flowers were they?
[18:22] ---
What kind of flowers were
in the bouquet on his chest?
[18:26] ---
Ahem.
[18:27] ---
Primula, it seems.
[18:29] ---
Does that solve the case?
[18:31] ---
No...
[18:32] ---
There's one fragment I'm missing.
[18:37] ---
You two.
[18:38] ---
Could you check the mausoleum,
and find out if there's a corpse missing?
[18:53] ---
Is that Millie Marle girl in here, too?
[18:56] ---
You're right! It's gone!
[18:58] ---
What?
[18:59] ---
One of the old corpses is missing!
[19:04] ---
Really...
[19:05] ---
What does it matter if they're
missing a corpse or two?
[19:20] ---
It was Millie Marle.
[19:22] ---
Millie Marle, who died eight years ago.
[19:25] ---
She's the one who killed Maxime.
[19:28] ---
Wh-What are you...?
[19:30] ---
What are you talking about?!
[19:31] ---
She was already dead
at the time of the funeral!
[19:34] ---
Y-Yeah...
[19:35] ---
Victorique?
[19:37] ---
He was killed by the dead girl.
[19:39] ---
Millie chose Maxime to die with her.
[19:44] ---
Knights are meant to protect
their ladies in death, after all.
[19:47] ---
Is that why he was dressed that way?
[19:50] ---
The costume of a medieval knight...
[19:52] ---
A stolen key...
[19:54] ---
A missing corpse...
[19:56] ---
I have all of the fragments of chaos.
[20:00] ---
I'll begin reconstructing it now.
[20:17] ---
Millie Marle gave Maxime sleeping pills
and put him in the knight's outfit.
[20:24] ---
Then she used the stolen key
to enter the mausoleum,
[20:28] ---
and swapped an old corpse
on the pedestal for Maxime.
[20:33] ---
The mausoleum was dark.
The undertakers didn't notice.
[20:40] ---
And then she died.
[20:44] ---
She must have known that she would die soon.
[20:48] ---
But why would she do that?
[20:53] ---
Inspector! At least thank Victorique!
[20:56] ---
I don't know what you're talking about.
[20:58] ---
I just came here to talk
to you, as a witness.
[21:02] ---
Hey...
[21:05] ---
Grévil!
[21:07] ---
About the motive...
[21:09] ---
You should investigate their relationship.
[21:12] ---
The primula flower signifies...
[21:15] ---
Open up! Open up!
[21:17] ---
Someone open this door!
[21:21] ---
...with you, for eternity.
[21:25] ---
Women's feelings run deep and strong.
[21:32] ---
Big words from a Gray Wolf.
[21:41] ---
Gray Wolf?
[21:43] ---
What's that mean?
[21:44] ---
What, are you still here?
[21:47] ---
Of course I am!
[21:48] ---
You still haven't explained Avril's book.
[21:52] ---
This is getting annoying.
[21:54] ---
Then give back my kaminari okoshi!
[21:57] ---
Boredom may be my greatest enemy,
but my second greatest is noise.
[22:02] ---
You've invited my second greatest
enemy to drive off my first.
[22:08] ---
Avril came to the library.
[22:11] ---
She's seriously acting weird.
[22:14] ---
But I want to believe in her.
[22:16] ---
That's why I want to know the truth!
[22:22] ---
Victorique! Where are you going?
[22:25] ---
Book! Book! Book!
[22:27] ---
I'm going to save your soul from its worries.
[22:30] ---
Be grateful!
[22:33] ---
But where are you going?
[22:34] ---
Hey, look out!
[22:36] ---
It'll be really bad if you trip!
[22:39] ---
Victorique!
[22:42] ---
The Golden Fairy...
[22:44] ---
The Gray Wolf...
[22:47] ---
Victorique... What are you, really?
[23:01] ---
Loneliness fighting back again
[23:04] ---
Seems to be like it never ends
[23:09] ---
Give us hope through the love of
[23:11] ---
Peaceful shine on me
[23:24] ---
In the pounding rain that never ceases
[23:28] ---
I have forgotten how to smile,
and I suffer as the world passes me by
[23:39] ---
If in the midst of conflict and deceit
[23:46] ---
My heart withers
[23:53] ---
Like a flower floating in turbulent waves
[24:01] ---
Lead the way and overcome the storm
[24:08] ---
Like you're stepping firmly on barren earth
[24:15] ---
Go ahead, you can walk straight forward
[24:33] ---
The fragments of chaos are whispering to me.
[24:36] ---
Kujo...
[24:37] ---
You are the type of man
who'll be destroyed by a woman.
[24:41] ---
I have a feeling they're right.
[24:44] ---
