[00:27] Lord Godard
    Raoul...
[00:29] Lord Godard
    The hunt is over. Let's head home.
[00:33] Lord Godard
    What were you looking at?
[00:35] Raoul
    Mushrooms, Father.
[00:38] Raoul
    You didn't kill it with the rifle?
[00:40] Lord Godard
    Well, I couldn't hit it, so
    I had no other choice.
[00:43] Raoul
    Then why did you even bother bringing it?
[00:46] Lord Godard
    The mayor was kind enough to send it to me.
[00:48] Lord Godard
    I had to at least try it out.
[00:53] Lord Godard
    Not to mention, using things like
    this makes a good impression.
[00:57] Lord Godard
    Like we're meeting humanity halfway.
[00:59] Raoul
    I doubt we're getting
    through to them, though.
[01:02] Raoul
    That hunter attacked
    us just the other day.
[01:04] Raoul
    They've treated us harshly ever
    since Count Dracula was taken out.
[01:08] Lord Godard
    Exactly why making a good
    impression is important.
[01:11] Lord Godard
    We're all going to have to get
    along with humanity from now on,
[01:16] Lord Godard
    whether we like it or not.
[01:28] Lord Godard
    I'm going to put the rifle away.
[01:31] Raoul
    Could you get that silver out of our
    storage room while you're at it?
[01:34] Lord Godard
    Silver?
[01:35] Raoul
    The weapon we took from that hunter.
[01:39] Raoul
    Why keep something so dangerous in the house?
[01:41] Raoul
    Part of making a good impression?
[01:43] Lord Godard
    No.
[01:45] Lord Godard
    Wouldn't we be safer holding onto it,
[01:47] Lord Godard
    rather than letting it fall into
    another hunter's hands?
[01:50] Lord Godard
    I've made sure it's locked up,
    so Charlotte doesn't play with—
[01:54] Lord Godard
    What?
[01:58] Raoul
    What's the matter?
[02:17] Lord Godard
    Our blood...
[02:19] Lord Godard
    Raoul, stay behind me. Do not stray!
[02:22] Raoul
    Wh-Why?
[02:24] Lord Godard
    Do not leave my side! No matter what!
[02:27] Lord Godard
    Claude!
[02:30] Lord Godard
    Claude! Hannah!
[02:32] Claude
    What's the matter, Father?
[02:34] Lord Godard
    Claude, are you all right?
[02:36] Claude
    Did something happen?
[02:38] Alfred
    What is the matter, my lord?
[02:41] Lord Godard
    Alfred, it appears we've had an intruder.
[02:44] Lord Godard
    Did you notice anything?
[02:45] Alfred
    No, I haven't seen anything.
[02:49] Alfred
    I was in the office this whole time.
[02:51] Lord Godard
    Where is Charlotte?
[02:53] Claude
    She's in the laundry room with Giselle.
[02:59] Claude
    They've been so loud this whole time.
[03:04] Claude
    Father!
[03:13] Raoul
    Father...
[03:15] Lord Godard
    Stay here.
[03:27] Lord Godard
    Hannah?

[05:28] Reporter A
    I'm telling you, this is a warning.
[05:31] Reporter A
    "We'll do the same to you
    if you don't back off."
[05:33] Reporter B
    If they don't stop being human allies, you mean?
[05:36] Reporter A
    Yeah, I'm sure there are some
    extremist hunters out there
[05:40] Reporter A
    who hate the thought of
    monsters getting rights.
[05:42] Reporter B
    Rumors say it could be one
    of Royce's agents, too.
[05:44] Reporter A
    Well, I don't know who did it,
    but if you ask me, they did nothing wrong.
[05:48] Annie
    Excuse me!
[05:50] Annie
    Lord Godard signed a written oath
    that he wouldn't drink human blood.
[05:55] Annie
    That's why he's been given rights—
[05:56] Reporter A
    You can't trust vampires!
[05:58] Reporter C
    There he is!
[06:01] Reporters
    Lord Godard! Lord Godard!
[06:03] Reporter A
    Lord Godard! I'm with Est News.
[06:05] Reporter A
    Could you give us your thoughts
    about this incident?
[06:08] Reporter D
    Lord Godard! Look over here!
[06:11] Lord Godard
    Please stop this. I'm going out
    to see the judge right now.
[06:15] Lord Godard
    Please move.
[06:16] Lord Godard
    Move!
[06:18] Annie
    Lord Godard!
[06:20] Lord Godard
    How old are you?
[06:22] Annie
    I'm a correspondent with the Epoc News.
[06:23] Annie
    My name's Annie Kerber, and I'm fourteen.
[06:26] Annie
    According to the police statement,
[06:28] Annie
    the investigation of this
    murder is still ongoing.
[06:30] Lord Godard
    Ongoing? That's absurd.
[06:33] Lord Godard
    They've as good as dropped it.
[06:35] Lord Godard
    I haven't had a drop of human
    blood for over twenty years.
[06:39] Lord Godard
    My family and I go to church
    on Sunday evenings, as well!
[06:42] Lord Godard
    Do you really think we
    deserve this treatment?!
[06:45] Annie
    Are you saying this is social discrimination
    against vampires who are human allies?
[06:50] Lord Godard
    That's exactly what I'm saying.
[06:52] Lord Godard
    Make sure you write that
    Lord Godard is resentful of
[06:55] Lord Godard
    how the police have been handling this.
[06:57] Lord Godard
    Extremely resentful.
[06:59] Annie
    Then how are you planning to
    get to the bottom of this?
[07:02] Lord Godard
    I'm going to hire a detective.
[07:04] Lord Godard
    I hear there's a duo from the east—
[07:06] Lord Godard
    Detectives who specialize in monster cases.
[07:09] Annie
    Monster cases?
[07:10] Annie
    Do you mean Aya Rindo and Tsugaru Shinuchi?
[07:14] Lord Godard
    Yes, I believe those were their names.
[07:21] Annie
    He's coming... The Cage User is coming here!
[07:30] Tsugaru
    Hey there, driver.
[07:32] Mark
    Yes, boss?
[07:33] Tsugaru
    Don't you think we're shaking a bit too much?
[07:36] Mark
    Well, we're on a country road.
[07:38] Tsugaru
    Yeah, well, all the rattling is hurting
    my ass and giving me heartburn.
[07:43] Tsugaru
    My master here says she's ready to hurl.
[07:47] Tsugaru
    And believe me, the complaints and insults
[07:49] Tsugaru
    that come from my master's
    mouth are more than enough.
[07:52] Mark
    We'll be there soon.
[07:54] Mark
    Besides, you're the one who asked me to hurry.
[07:58] Tsugaru
    Then if you could slowly hurry...
[08:01] Mark
    You can't be serious!
[08:03] Aya
    That's enough, Tsugaru.
[08:04] Tsugaru
    Ah, Master. You seem better.
[08:06] Aya
    I am not, but if we're
    almost there, I'll survive.
[08:11] Aya
    Not to mention, even if I wanted
    to hurl, I have no way of doing so.
[08:15] Tsugaru
    Welp, you got me there.
[08:21] Lord Godard
    They proved one of the merfolk
    innocent of murder in Norway,
[08:26] Lord Godard
    and solved a case dealing
    with a golem in Belgium.
[08:30] Lord Godard
    I hear they are very talented detectives.
[08:32] Raoul
    How so?
[08:33] Lord Godard
    I'm not sure.
[08:35] Lord Godard
    The judge has abandoned us, too.
[08:37] Claude
    Are you sure you can trust them?
[08:38] Lord Godard
    They're better than the police.
[08:49] Tsugaru
    Wow, classy.
[08:52] Mark
    Boss.
[08:53] Mark
    If I could get that payment now...
[08:55] Tsugaru
    Payment? For what?
[08:57] Mark
    The fare for the carriage ride, of course.
[08:59] Mark
    One way is three francs.
[09:01] Tsugaru
    That's a bit steep.
[09:02] Mark
    Well, it was a long ride...
[09:04] Tsugaru
    But that doesn't seem fair, given
    how bumpy the ride was.
[09:07] Mark
    Boss, you're not trying to...
[09:10] Tsugaru
    I'm not trying to get out of paying you.
[09:13] Tsugaru
    I just want to return the carriage.
[09:16] Mark
    Y-You can't return a horse-drawn carriage!
[09:20] Tsugaru
    Oh? And why is that?
[09:23] Mark
    I mean...
[09:24] Mark
    I mean, I already drove you all the way here!
[09:28] Tsugaru
    I see.
[09:29] Tsugaru
    Then if you'd be so kind as to drive
    us back to where we started...
[09:33] Tsugaru
    Then I'll have returned it.
[09:35] Mark
    U-Uh...
[09:36] Tsugaru
    Come on, now...
[09:38] Aya
    That's enough, Tsugaru.
[09:40] Aya
    Driver, think about this rationally.
[09:43] Aya
    He's trying to cheat you out
    of a round-trip fare.
[09:47] Mark
    B-Boss?
[09:49] Aya
    Enough, Tsugaru.
    Stop troubling the poor driver.
[09:52] Aya
    He seems to have had enough
    misfortune already.
[09:55] Aya
    He's been sober for a week after his
    wife yelled at him about his drinking.
[09:59] Mark
    H-How do you know about Natalie?
[10:01] Aya
    Don't act so unsettled.
    I could tell from your clothes.
[10:06] Aya
    Driver, if you don't
    demand your payment soon,
[10:08] Aya
    he's going to try to get out of it again.
[10:10] Mark
    Uh, r-right.
[10:12] Mark
    Anyway, boss, that'll be three francs.
[10:14] Tsugaru
    Could you knock off one franc?
[10:17] Mark
    Boss...
[10:19] Mark
    All right, boss. Two francs will be fine.
[10:23] Mark
    But please, hurry!
[10:25] Tsugaru
    You see, I don't have any
    cash on me right now.
[10:28] Tsugaru
    You'll have to get the
    payment from Lord Godard.
[10:34] Mark
    L-L-Lord Godard!
[10:37] Mark
    I need two francs from you.
[10:38] Lord Godard
    Wh-Who are you?
[10:40] Tsugaru
    That's our driver, Hattsuan.
[10:42] Mark
    My name's Mark!
[10:43] Tsugaru
    Apparently, this is Mark.
[10:45] Tsugaru
    I'd like him to drive us back, so would
    you let him rest here for a bit?
[10:48] Tsugaru
    He seems to be a bit worked up.
[10:52] Lord Godard
    Alfred, show him to a room
     and get him his payment.
[10:56] Alfred
    Yes, sir.
[10:57] Mark
    Th-Thank you, sir.
[11:00] Mark
    Thank you...
[11:02] Mark
    Thank you...
[11:04] Lord Godard
    So, who might you be?
[11:06] Tsugaru
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[11:08] Tsugaru
    I'm the Cage User who came
    all the way from Japan.
[11:12] Tsugaru
    The name's Tsugaru Shinuchi.
[11:14] Tsugaru
    My name may mean "headliner," but
    I'm more of an opening act, at heart.
[11:19] Tsugaru
    I look forward to working with ya.
[11:21] Lord Godard
    I am Jean Duchet Godard. And these are...
[11:24] Lord Godard
    Claude, my eldest,
    and Raoul, my second son.
[11:28] Lord Godard
    I hear that you specialize in monster cases.
[11:31] Tsugaru
    Indeed, but I am a mere apprentice.
[11:34] Tsugaru
    My master's the one that
     handles all the actual work.
[11:37] Aya
    I don't recall making you
     my apprentice, Tsugaru.
[11:40] Aya
    You're just my assistant.
[11:42] Lord Godard
    Er... is this Ms. Aya Rindo?
[11:45] Aya
    Indeed. I am Aya Rindo.
    It's an honor to meet you.
[11:49] Tsugaru
    Something wrong?
[11:50] Lord Godard
    Er, no. I just didn't realize the
    detective was a lady.
[11:54] Tsugaru
    Ah, I see. I guess it is hard to tell.
[11:57] Tsugaru
    I mean, she lacks a chest, after all.
[12:00] Aya
    Did you say something, Tsugaru?
[12:01] Tsugaru
    Nope, not a word. My apologies.
[12:04] Aya
    But that one was quite funny.
[12:09] Aya
    Shizuku, strike Tsugaru for me later.
[12:11] Shizuku
    As you wish, Lady Aya.
[12:14] Aya
    Despite my physical state, I will
    have no problem solving this case,
[12:18] Aya
    so have no fear.
[12:20] Aya
    I will track down the murderer
    who killed your wife.
[12:24] Lord Godard
    Er, right. I'll be counting on you.
[12:27] Lord Godard
    First, let us take your
    luggage to your rooms.
[12:30] Lord Godard
    Alfred.
[12:31] Aya
    Oh, no need. I'll have Shizuku carry them.
[12:36] Tsugaru
    Uh, hey! Shizuku, you seem
    to have forgotten my trunk.
[12:40] Shizuku
    You can carry your own luggage.
[12:42] Tsugaru
    S-So cold. And unkind...
[12:45] Aya
    Shizuku, carry Tsugaru's, as well.
[12:48] Shizuku
    Yes, Lady Aya.
[12:54] Lord Godard
    Wh-Who is that maid?
[12:56] Tsugaru
    Oh, forgot to introduce her.
[12:58] Tsugaru
    Her name is Shizuku Hasei.
[13:01] Lord Godard
    Then where is Ms. Aya Rindo?
[13:02] Tsugaru
    Ah, I was wondering why this
    conversation felt weird.
[13:06] Aya
    Lord Godard, had you not done
    any research on us?
[13:11] Lord Godard
    I had done some basic research, but
    couldn't find any specific details.
[13:15] Aya
    Well, I'm not surprised.
[13:18] Aya
    I'm sure that those who
    have encountered me before
[13:20] Aya
    thought no one would believe
    them if they talked about me.
[13:24] Aya
    Hey, Tsugaru.
[13:25] Tsugaru
    Yes'm.
[13:27] Tsugaru
    This is my master.
[13:37] Aya
    Allow me to properly introduce myself.
     My name is Aya Rindo.
[13:40] Aya
    I am, by occupation, a detective.
[13:43] Aya
    It's quite fitting, considering
    I'm only able to use my head.
[13:48] Aya
    I'll be happy to answer any
    questions you may have.
[13:51] Raoul
    How are you still alive
    when you're only a head?!
[13:54] Aya
    It's quite simple, really.
[13:55] Aya
    I'm not dead. Therefore, I'm alive.
[13:59] Raoul
    Why are you only a head?
[14:01] Aya
    Unfortunately, I happened to lose the
    rest of my body about a year ago.
[14:05] Aya
    Ever since, I've been
    living in this birdcage.
[14:08] Lord Godard
    How are you able to stay alive?
[14:10] Aya
    I really do love watching
     everyone's reactions
[14:13] Aya
    when they see me for the first time.
[14:16] Aya
    Can you tell me how you found the body?
[14:20] Lord Godard
    That was in the paper, I believe.
[14:23] Aya
    If you don't mind, please remind me,
    with as many details as you can remember.
[14:30] Aya
    I'm terribly sorry for making you
    recall such a traumatic experience.
[14:34] Lord Godard
    It's all right.
[14:37] Lord Godard
    I may be accustomed to seeing dead bodies,
[14:39] Lord Godard
    but I'd never seen a member
    of my family killed like that.
[14:43] Lord Godard
    Before I knew it, I lost my
    composure and started to scream.
[14:48] Aya
    How many people live in this mansion?
[14:51] Lord Godard
    Excluding my wife, we are a family of four.
[14:54] Lord Godard
    There's myself.
[14:55] Lord Godard
    There's Claude and Raoul,
    to whom I introduced you earlier.
[14:58] Lord Godard
    And then there's my youngest,
    my daughter, Charlotte.
[15:01] Lord Godard
    We also have two human servants.
[15:04] Lord Godard
    A maid named Giselle, and my butler, Alfred.
[15:08] Lord Godard
    He's served us for over twenty years now.
[15:11] Aya
    I heard that the slain Madame
    Hannah was previously human.
[15:15] Lord Godard
    Yes.
[15:20] Tsugaru
    Did she dabble in carpentry?
[15:22] Lord Godard
    Hannah loved fixing up antiques.
[15:25] Lord Godard
    The sounds of metal and wooden mallets
    resonated through the mansion.
[15:29] Aya
    Are those swords decorative pieces?
[15:32] Lord Godard
    No, they are real swords.
    There are more in my sons' rooms.
[15:36] Lord Godard
    Even when we're injured,
    we heal in mere seconds,
[15:39] Lord Godard
    so there's no point in using fake swords.
[15:43] Aya
    Is the body still there?
[15:45] Lord Godard
    A vampire's body decays at an accelerated
    rate, so we buried her immediately.
[15:50] Lord Godard
    But we have a camera, so I took a picture of her.
[15:55] Aya
    The chest wound is just under
     ten centimeters in diameter.
[15:58] Aya
    It appears that it was
    indeed caused by a stake.
[16:02] Aya
    She bled less from the left side
     of the wound than the right.
[16:07] Aya
    I wonder why.
[16:08] Tsugaru
    Maybe the body was leaning towards the right?
[16:10] Aya
    Her expression seems be peaceful.
[16:12] Aya
    There's no sign of struggle.
[16:14] Aya
    Lord Godard, was Madame Hannah
    asleep at the time?
[16:18] Lord Godard
    Yes. We believe that's why
    we didn't hear her scream.
[16:22] Aya
    We can assume that her death was swift.
[16:24] Aya
    Which would mean that
[16:25] Aya
    the murderer pierced her heart
    with the stake in a single strike.
[16:29] Aya
    Could you show me what's
    underneath the chair?
[16:31] Tsugaru
    Sure thing.
[16:35] Aya
    It seems that she was undeniably
    killed in this spot.
[16:38] Aya
    How is the back of the chair?
[16:40] Tsugaru
    Not a scratch.
[16:42] Aya
    So the murder weapon did
    not go through the body.
[16:46] Lord Godard
    Our senses are rather keen.
[16:48] Lord Godard
    If she was attacked in her sleep,
[16:50] Lord Godard
    it would have to be the work of a
    hunter who could erase their presence.
[16:54] Tsugaru
    What about the holy water?
[16:56] Tsugaru
    Was it thrown about after the murder?
[16:58] Aya
    Probably.
[17:00] Aya
    Lord Godard, were there any
    wounds on her hands or feet?
[17:03] Lord Godard
    No, her hands and feet were unharmed.
[17:06] Aya
    A vampire's cells lose their power
    some time after death,
[17:10] Aya
    meaning they won't burn in
    reaction to holy water.
[17:13] Aya
    Which means the holy water was used
    immediately after her death.
[17:16] Aya
    It appears some evidence is still here.
[17:20] Aya
    Tsugaru. Pick up that bottle.
[17:24] Tsugaru
    It's very much a normal bottle.
    The glass is a bit dusty.
[17:29] Aya
    Rub it with your sleeve.
[17:30] Tsugaru
    Sure thing.
[17:33] Aya
    Did all of the dust come off?
[17:35] Tsugaru
    It's like some anecdote that just won't end.
[17:38] Aya
    What was that?
[17:39] Tsugaru
    It's absolutely unrelenting.
[17:41] Aya
    You don't have to try to be clever every time.
[17:43] Aya
    Show me the lid.
[17:45] Tsugaru
    Hup.
[17:47] Aya
    Not much, but there's blood on it...
[17:50] Aya
    The culprit may have touched
     it after the murder.
[17:53] Aya
    Put it down.
[17:56] Aya
    I heard that the silver stake in your
    storage room was taken from a hunter.
[18:01] Aya
    Did he have it in a case of some sort?
[18:04] Lord Godard
    No, he was holding it.
[18:08] Aya
    I had heard that vampires are burnt
    when they touch silver or holy water.
[18:12] Aya
    Do you have any way of avoiding that?
[18:14] Aya
    For example, wrapping cloth
    around anything silver.
[18:17] Lord Godard
    While that might work... I can't imagine
    that any of us would willingly touch silver.
[18:23] Lord Godard
    I was almost burnt just by putting
    my hand close to the stake.
[18:27] Aya
    And if you're burnt in that way,
    your vampire regenerative powers...
[18:32] Lord Godard
    They do not work, of course.
[18:33] Lord Godard
    Even a slight burn would
    take about a week to heal.
[18:37] Lord Godard
    That's why I had Alfred take
    the stake from the hunter.
[18:41] Aya
    Who had keys to the storage room?
[18:44] Lord Godard
    Only Alfred and myself.
[18:46] Aya
    I see. Thank you very much.
[18:49] Lord Godard
    Er, were you able to figure anything out?
[18:52] Aya
    There's just one thing that
    fails to make sense,
[18:55] Aya
    and that's the timeline of this crime.
[18:57] Aya
    It truly does seem like the murderer
    came from outside this mansion.
[19:02] Aya
    But if we were to assume that was true,
[19:04] Aya
    certain problems arise.
[19:07] Aya
    Seven in total.
[19:08] Lord Godard
    Seven?
[19:10] Aya
    Tsugaru, lift your finger up.
[19:11] Tsugaru
    Sure thing.
[19:12] Aya
    Let's start with the first.
[19:13] Aya
    Why was there no sign of
    Madame Hannah waking up?
[19:17] Aya
    She was far more sensitive
    to sounds and smells than a human,
[19:20] Aya
    so it's strange that she
    didn't notice the attacker.
[19:23] Aya
    Second. Why did the murderer
    specifically infiltrate at night?
[19:27] Aya
    Even children are aware that a vampire's
    power weakens during the day.
[19:33] Lord Godard
    We make sure to lock up tight during the day,
[19:35] Lord Godard
    so they must've given up.
[19:37] Aya
    Even though they were able to twist
    open the storage room's lock?
[19:43] Aya
    Third.
[19:44] Aya
    Why did the murderer leave the
    holy water bottle at the scene?
[19:49] Aya
    They probably used that coat to avoid
    any blood splattering onto them,
[19:52] Aya
    but it would be so easy to
     take the bottle with them.
[19:55] Aya
    It's unnatural that they left it behind.
[19:57] Aya
    Fourth.
[19:58] Aya
    How did the murderer know that
    the silver stake was in the storage room?
[20:03] Aya
    It's also strange that they'd know the
    exact location of Madame Hannah's room
[20:09] Aya
    and when she'd likely be napping.
[20:11] Aya
    Fifth.
[20:13] Aya
    Why did the murderer remove the
    silver stake after stabbing her
[20:16] Aya
    and return it to the storage room?
[20:20] Aya
    Now, I'd like you to pay particular
    attention to the sixth problem.
[20:24] Tsugaru
    Master, we have an issue.
[20:27] Tsugaru
    I don't have any more
    free fingers to hold up.
[20:29] Aya
    Then just stick out your tongue.
[20:31] Tsugaru
    Bleh.
[20:32] Aya
    Now, the sixth...
[20:33] Tsugaru
    Maffer.
[20:33] Aya
    What is it?
[20:35] Tsugaru
    Whaf should we oo abouf the sevenf?
[20:38] Aya
    Lift up your leg or something.
[20:43] Lord Godard
    Ms. Rindo.
[20:44] Aya
    Yes?
[20:46] Lord Godard
    That doesn't look like a seven...
[20:48] Aya
    Oh, very well.
[20:50] Aya
    We'll go over the last two later.
[20:53] Lord Godard
    Oh, Lottie.
[20:56] Lord Godard
    These are detectives who came to
    investigate what happened here.
[21:03] Lord Godard
    Lottie!
[21:05] Aya
    Tsugaru...
[21:07] Aya
    That's enough.
