[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
[02:01] ---
    Wait up, Victorique!
[02:07] ---
    What do you find in a library?
[02:10] ---
    Well... books, right?
[02:13] ---
    That girl wanted to hide
    a leaf in the forest.
[02:19] ---
    That's why she came here.
[02:22] ---
    When she picked up the book,
    she realized you saw her.
[02:27] ---
    She wanted to hide it.
[02:29] ---
    The library was the best place to do that.
[02:31] ---
    Do you want to know what that book is?
[02:34] ---
    But how will you find it?
[02:40] ---
    Have you heard of The Thirteenth Step
    on the Stairway to Heaven
?
[02:44] ---
    They say if you linger on it,
    you'll be dragged into the afterlife.
[02:48] ---
    This floor contains religious texts,
    ancient and modern, from all over the world.
[02:54] ---
    Yes. This is the shelf of Heaven.
[02:57] ---
    And...
[02:58] ---
    Un, deux, trois,
[03:02] ---
    quatre, cinq,
[03:04] ---
    Victorique?
[03:05] ---
    six,
[03:07] ---
    sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize.
[03:18] ---
    This is the 13th step
    on the stairway to Heaven.
[03:21] ---
    No one would linger here, would they?
[03:24] ---
    The girl hid the book on this shelf.
[03:28] ---
    That's what my wellspring of wisdom told me.
[03:35] ---
    Episode 5: There is a Mysterious Ghost
    in the Abandoned Warehouse
[03:41] ---
    She solved another mystery so easily...
[03:44] ---
    The Golden Fairy... The Gray Wolf?
[03:48] ---
    The mysterious Victorique...
[03:51] ---
    The Golden Fairy in the High Tower?
[03:56] ---
    The Golden... Fairy?
[04:00] ---
    Hey, that's too fast!
[04:07] ---
    What was that for?!
[04:09] ---
    Your head was in my way.
[04:11] ---
    Aren't you going to let me read along?
[04:14] ---
    No.
[04:18] ---
    Figures...
[04:22] ---
    It's a legend from a foreign land.
[04:25] ---
    A tall tower stood in
    the middle of the forest.
[04:28] ---
    A golden fairy lived there alone.
[04:31] ---
    She knew all the mysteries of the world,
    and gave advice to the troubled.
[04:36] ---
    But it was said that she wanted
    your soul in exchange,
[04:40] ---
    and she would devour it.
[04:43] ---
    She looks a little like Victorique.
[04:47] ---
    Does that mean "The Golden Fairy in the
    Library" really does refer to Victorique?
[04:53] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:56] ---
    It's a postcard.
[04:58] ---
    Avril Bradley.
[05:00] ---
    It's a letter to Avril.
[05:02] ---
    And it's from...
[05:04] ---
    ...Sir Bradley?
[05:06] ---
    That's Avril's grandfather!
[05:09] ---
    There's no postmark on the stamp.
[05:11] ---
    Does that mean Avril never got it?
[05:18] ---
    Well, then...
[05:22] ---
    Victorique?
[05:24] ---
    I'm sick of this.
[05:26] ---
    You're done here, right?
[05:28] ---
    Go away.
[05:30] ---
    Sick of it?
[05:33] ---
    Hey, Victorique!
[05:37] ---
    What's going through Victorique's head?
[05:41] ---
    And here I thought we were friends again.
[05:48] ---
    Inspector? Is something wrong?
[05:51] ---
    The case was solved, wasn't it?
[05:56] ---
    It was.
[05:57] ---
    I only just solved the case
    of the mummified knight,
[06:01] ---
    and now I've gotten word of
    a professional thief in town.
[06:05] ---
    I'm investigating that.
[06:08] ---
    His name is...
    Phantom Thief Quiaran.
[06:12] ---
    He's a great thief that has
    caused trouble all over Europe.
[06:15] ---
    He disappeared seven or eight years ago.
[06:19] ---
    Rumors said that he retired or died.
[06:23] ---
    But recently, a successor appeared.
[06:26] ---
    I've received word
    that he's in this very village.
[06:29] ---
    But, Inspector...
[06:32] ---
    You're acting a little... different?
[06:35] ---
    When you're with Victorique,
    you're a lot more bombastic.
[06:39] ---
    And with me, you're all...
[06:40] ---
    "Oh, little squirrel!"
[06:43] ---
    You know?
[06:45] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[06:48] ---
    Listen, if you see anyone suspicious,
    let me know at once.
[06:53] ---
    Understand?
[06:54] ---
    Yeah...
[06:58] ---
    Seriously, what's wrong with that guy?
[07:30] ---
    Ow...
[07:31] ---
    You're awake?
[07:35] ---
    Are you okay?
[07:37] ---
    Yeah! I'm fine!
[07:39] ---
    I see.
[07:41] ---
    Kujo, I found you passed out
    near the warehouse.
[07:44] ---
    I found you, and the gardener
    brought you here.
[07:47] ---
    Really? Thanks...
[07:54] ---
    The book's not here.
[07:56] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:57] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[08:00] ---
    I'm glad.
[08:03] ---
    They say a girl's ghost shows up in
    that warehouse, so nobody goes near there.
[08:08] ---
    Kujo, you weren't attacked
    by a ghost, were you?
[08:12] ---
    N-No way...
[08:15] ---
    Did Avril attack me?
[08:18] ---
    There really are so many
    ghost stories at this school.
[08:21] ---
    Yeah...
[08:22] ---
    I don't think she'd do that.
[08:23] ---
    But she's the one who hid the book.
[08:27] ---
    But...
[08:28] ---
    There's one in the library, too.
[08:29] ---
    I believe it's called...
[08:31] ---
    ...the Golden Fairy.
[08:33] ---
    They say the fairy is very smart,
    and in exchange for solving any problem,
[08:39] ---
    she would take a person's soul.
[08:42] ---
    She sounds less like a fairy
    and more like a devil.
[08:45] ---
    You're wrong.
[08:46] ---
    The person on the top floor of the library...
[08:48] ---
    ...is Victorique!
[08:51] ---
    Victorique?
[08:54] ---
    She skips classes and
    reads books all by herself.
[08:57] ---
    The one in the library isn't a Golden Fairy.
[09:01] ---
    She's a little blonde girl.
[09:03] ---
    And she doesn't ask for souls, but snacks.
[09:06] ---
    But I was told no one had ever seen her.
[09:10] ---
    Does she really exist?
[09:12] ---
    She does.
[09:13] ---
    Victorique exists.
[09:16] ---
    I see.
[09:19] ---
    The book...
[09:20] ---
    The book...
[09:22] ---
    The book...
[09:23] ---
    It's gone.
[09:24] ---
    Oh?
[09:25] ---
    Mr. Kujo?
[09:27] ---
    Ms. Cécile! Are you feeling better?
[09:29] ---
    Yes.
[09:30] ---
    Thanks for helping out yesterday.
[09:33] ---
    Hey, did you hear?
[09:35] ---
    That mummy was a graduate of this academy!
[09:40] ---
    Isn't that scary?!
[09:42] ---
    Oh, no!
[09:43] ---
    Just thinking back on it, I...
[09:47] ---
    Ms. Cécile!
[09:48] ---
    Thank you...
[09:50] ---
    Where did you find this book?
[09:52] ---
    Huh?
[09:53] ---
    Oh, someone threw it behind the flower bed.
[09:56] ---
    They threw it away?
[09:58] ---
    So it wasn't Avril?
[10:00] ---
    Then who?
[10:11] ---
    They say there's a ghost here.
[10:18] ---
    There we go...
[10:20] ---
    I-I took off my glasses!
[10:22] ---
    If a ghost appears, I won't see it!
[10:24] ---
    So I should be fine this time!
[10:26] ---
    Well, it might be dangerous...
    You really should wear them.
[10:33] ---
    Help... me...
[10:37] ---
    Help... me...
[10:41] ---
    Help me...
[10:50] ---
    There's no girl here.
[10:53] ---
    The only things you'd find here
    are ghosts or old men.
[10:57] ---
    Maybe that's what the Golden Fairy is.
[10:59] ---
    It's no place for a girl.
[11:04] ---
    There it is!
[11:07] ---
    Victorique!
[11:12] ---
    It's gone?
[11:13] ---
    But it was right there!
[11:15] ---
    Avril?
[11:17] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:19] ---
    Nothing.
[11:21] ---
    I just wanted to see the conservatory.
[11:25] ---
    See you later!
[11:29] ---
    Hey! Victorique!
[11:33] ---
    Aren't you here?
[11:35] ---
    Where could she have gone?
[11:38] ---
    But I was told no one had ever seen her.
[11:42] ---
    Does she really exist?
[11:44] ---
    No way...
[11:45] ---
    Victorique?
[11:47] ---
    Victorique!
[11:51] ---
    You're quite the noisy one.
[11:55] ---
    Victorique!
[11:56] ---
    You brought something to
    relieve my boredom, right?
[12:03] ---
    Hey, Victorique! Someone attacked me,
[12:06] ---
    and Phantom Thief Quiaran has reappeared,
    and the Ghost in the Warehouse...
[12:10] ---
    Anyway, it's bad all over!
[12:13] ---
    It smells sweet.
[12:14] ---
    Huh? Of course it does. It's candy.
[12:18] ---
    But it's shaped like dog poop!
[12:21] ---
    It's karinto.
[12:28] ---
    It's crunchy.
[12:30] ---
    Never mind that, Victorique!
[12:32] ---
    The Phantom Thief...
    The Ghost in the Warehouse...
[12:35] ---
    And the Golden Fairy in the Library?
[12:39] ---
    I'm told that this is no place for a girl.
[12:42] ---
    The only things you'd find here would be
    old men, ghosts, and golden fairies.
[12:46] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[12:48] ---
    That Avril girl.
[12:51] ---
    She's Quiaran's successor.
[13:00] ---
    A-Avril is Quiaran's successor?
[13:06] ---
    You really are a loud man.
[13:08] ---
    But... what are you talking about?
[13:10] ---
    You leave me no choice.
[13:15] ---
    I will use my wellspring of wisdom
[13:17] ---
    to reconstruct the truth
    from the fragments of chaos
[13:21] ---
    and explain it to you.
[13:27] ---
    The first Quiaran was Maxime.
[13:30] ---
    What? Maxime was?
[13:33] ---
    The first Quiaran disappeared
    seven or eight years ago.
[13:37] ---
    Maxime was killed eight years ago, too.
[13:39] ---
    Is that really just a coincidence?
[13:42] ---
    Maxime... no, Quiaran likely
    came back to the school every spring
[13:47] ---
    to hide the things that he had stolen.
[13:50] ---
    That book was one of those things.
[13:53] ---
    But before he could hide it,
    he was locked in the mausoleum.
[13:58] ---
    And...
[14:00] ---
    ...Avril was also looking for that book.
[14:02] ---
    Avril was?
[14:05] ---
    But why?
[14:09] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:11] ---
    Once more, it's over so quickly...
[14:13] ---
    And I'm bored again.
[14:16] ---
    It's not over yet!
[14:18] ---
    What about the Ghost in the Warehouse?
[14:19] ---
    Do I have to?
[14:21] ---
    Victorique!
[14:22] ---
    The ghost said something to you, didn't it?
[14:26] ---
    Yeah.
[14:27] ---
    It said, "Help me."
[14:29] ---
    That's not good.
[14:31] ---
    You should go save her at once.
[14:33] ---
    The ghost?
[14:34] ---
    The Ghost in the Warehouse...
[14:36] ---
    ....she is the true Avril Bradley.
[14:41] ---
    Why did you bring me here?
[14:46] ---
    Hey!
[14:47] ---
    I'm pretty sure the ghost's voice
    came from this direction.
[15:05] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:06] ---
    What the...?
[15:08] ---
    Hey! Hey!
[15:14] ---
    Thank goodness.
[15:18] ---
    Help me!
[15:22] ---
    You're safe now.
[15:24] ---
    Are you Avril Bradley?
[15:26] ---
    Yes.
[15:27] ---
    That woman...
[15:29] ---
    That woman took my place!
[15:33] ---
    We were on a train together
    from England to Saubure.
[15:37] ---
    My grandfather's inheritance
    was at this school.
[15:41] ---
    She wanted to steal it!
[15:44] ---
    Inspector.
[15:45] ---
    Take care of Avril!
[15:47] ---
    Wh-Where are you going? Hey!
[15:50] ---
    It's not here...
[15:52] ---
    It's not here!
[15:53] ---
    Dammit!
[15:55] ---
    Where is it?
[16:02] ---
    Victorique!
[16:04] ---
    Oh! Kujo!
[16:07] ---
    Quiaran!
[16:13] ---
    Secret's out, eh?
[16:15] ---
    That's right.
[16:16] ---
    I am the second Quiaran!
[16:20] ---
    I was surprised to see the first one
    reappear as a mummy,
[16:24] ---
    but thanks to that,
    I was able to find the book.
[16:28] ---
    What did you do with it?
[16:31] ---
    The one who hit me
    and threw away the book...
[16:34] ---
    It was me, of course.
[16:35] ---
    But all you had was the book.
[16:39] ---
    The Penny Black...
[16:42] ---
    The postcard! Where is it?
[16:45] ---
    Postcard?
[16:46] ---
    Oh, didn't you realize,
    my great little detective?
[16:50] ---
    The Penny Black...
[16:52] ---
    It's the world's first stamp.
[16:54] ---
    That makes it quite a treasure by itself.
[16:56] ---
    But there's one that's even more valuable
    due to a printer's error.
[16:59] ---
    And it was on that postcard?
[17:02] ---
    That's right!
[17:04] ---
    Victorique!
[17:06] ---
    What did you do to her?
[17:08] ---
    What, the girl you were talking about?
[17:11] ---
    I came here looking for her,
    assuming she had it,
[17:14] ---
    but she's clearly not here.
[17:17] ---
    I doubt there's ever been anyone here.
[17:21] ---
    Are you sure you didn't really see a fairy?
[17:23] ---
    The Golden Fairy in the Library...
[17:26] ---
    Th-That can't be true.
[17:29] ---
    Such a sad, lonely exchange student.
[17:32] ---
    The Black Reaper.
[17:34] ---
    A lonely child makes friends with a fairy,
    and has his soul stolen.
[17:40] ---
    There was a legend about
    that where I come from, too.
[17:42] ---
    You're wrong.
[17:45] ---
    What you saw was a fairy.
[17:48] ---
    There never was a girl called Victorique.
[17:52] ---
    You're wrong!
[17:56] ---
    Tell me!
[17:57] ---
    Where did you hide the Penny Black?
[17:59] ---
    And don't tell me your fairy friend has it!
[18:03] ---
    Sh-She's not a fairy!
[18:06] ---
    I don't have time to play along
    with some student's stupid fantasies!
[18:12] ---
    Go on! Give it to me!
[18:15] ---
    She exists.
[18:16] ---
    She really does exist!
[18:20] ---
    Victorique is my...
[18:23] ---
    Just give it to me!
[18:25] ---
    She's my friend!
[18:27] ---
    You don't have any friends!
[18:29] ---
    If you don't have it, who does?!
[18:32] ---
    I have it.
[18:37] ---
    Victorique!
[18:38] ---
    Get away from Kujo!
[18:56] ---
    That boy is my...
[18:59] ---
    ...manservant.
[19:09] ---
    Av... ril?
[19:16] ---
    H-Hey...
[19:18] ---
    Thanks for helping me!
[19:20] ---
    No problem.
[19:21] ---
    Are you okay?
[19:23] ---
    Yeah, I'm fine now!
[19:25] ---
    S-So I see.
[19:30] ---
    What is it?
[19:31] ---
    I was so afraid.
[19:33] ---
    When you came to save me,
    you looked like a raven-haired prince.
[19:40] ---
    A prince? Mr. Kujo?
[19:43] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[19:44] ---
    Here.
[19:49] ---
    "I will give you this stamp.
[19:51] ---
    When you grow up, use this
    to become a great adventurer.
[19:56] ---
    To my beloved granddaughter, Avril.
[19:59] ---
    Grandpa."
[20:02] ---
    Grandpa...
[20:07] ---
    Thank you.
[20:09] ---
    Will you be my friend?
[20:11] ---
    Sure, you bet!
[20:17] ---
    By the way...
[20:18] ---
    ...do you like ghost stories?
[20:21] ---
    Yeah! I love them!
[20:24] ---
    How did you know the Ghost in
    the Warehouse was the real Avril?
[20:29] ---
    The second Quiaran took advantage
    of the school's ghost stories.
[20:33] ---
    That's also why she hid
    the book in the library.
[20:37] ---
    She used the story about the warehouse
    the same way, to keep the real Avril hidden.
[20:43] ---
    I see.
[20:44] ---
    And I'll explain one more thing for you.
[20:48] ---
    The Reaper Who Comes in Spring,
    which has caused so much trouble for you
[20:53] ---
    the "Reaper" is Maxime, the first Quiaran.
[20:59] ---
    He would return to school each spring.
[21:01] ---
    Perhaps each time he did,
    he brought some misfortune.
[21:05] ---
    Including the incident of Millie Marle,
    who brought him a violent death...
[21:12] ---
    The treasures that he hid here
    will probably be found soon, as well.
[21:16] ---
    You really are incredible.
[21:19] ---
    And...
[21:20] ---
    ...you really do exist.
[21:22] ---
    So rude...
[21:24] ---
    But... you weren't here when I came running.
[21:28] ---
    Where were you then, anyway?
[21:32] ---
    I didn't know her.
[21:34] ---
    What?
[21:36] ---
    Someone I didn't know showed up, so I hid.
[21:38] ---
    You hid? Where?
[21:46] ---
    Is that where you were?
[21:48] ---
    Do you always hide here when
    people you don't know come by?
[21:54] ---
    But...
[21:55] ---
    ...the first time I came here,
    you weren't hidden.
[21:58] ---
    Hey, how come?
[22:01] ---
    Huh?
[22:02] ---
    Are you okay?
[22:03] ---
    You're all red.
[22:05] ---
    No, I'm not.
[22:07] ---
    Yes, you are!
[22:08] ---
    Am not!
[22:10] ---
    But...
[22:11] ---
    I said I'm not red, so I'm not!
[22:18] ---
    Fine, whatever.
[22:24] ---
    The Golden Fairy...
[22:27] ---
    She knew all the mysteries of the world,
    and gave advice to the troubled.
[22:32] ---
    But it was said that she
    wanted your soul in exchange,
[22:35] ---
    and she would devour it.
[22:39] ---
    Is it true?
[22:44] ---
    No...
[22:45] ---
    She just wants someone to be with her.
[22:48] ---
    She believes...
[22:51] ---
    ...that there's a soul just for her,
    one that will stay forever.
[22:55] ---
    And that someday... she will find it.
[23:02] ---
    Loneliness fighting back again
[23:05] ---
    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] ---
    Hey, Victorique,
    why are your cheeks all puffed out?
[24:37] ---
    Oh!
[24:38] ---
    Are you eating macarons?
[24:41] ---
    Yeah. They're delicious.
