**[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.
