[01:54] Lord Godard
    How does everything taste?
[01:56] Tsugaru
    It's quite delicious.
[01:59] Tsugaru
    I didn't know what I would've done
    if we were served fresh blood.
[02:03] Tsugaru
    I was gonna try and say my granny's
    will forbade me to have any.
[02:07] Tsugaru
    But you do mainly consume blood?
[02:10] Lord Godard
    We do.
[02:11] Lord Godard
    If we don't have blood regularly,
     we lose energy.
[02:16] Lord Godard
    That being said, we no
    longer consume human blood.
[02:21] Lord Godard
    Ms. Rindo, do you not need to eat?
[02:25] Aya
    Don't mind me.
[02:26] Aya
    Even if I'd like to eat,
    I'm afraid that I cannot.
[02:29] Aya
    I've put on a few pounds lately, you see.
[02:32] Tsugaru
    Master, stop.
[02:34] Tsugaru
    I totally just spit my bread out.
[02:40] Claude
    Father, can we really
    leave this matter to them?
[02:45] Lord Godard
    It's true that they're a bit odd,
[02:46] Lord Godard
    but they've been logical
    about the investigation.
[02:49] Claude
    They go beyond "a bit odd."
[02:52] Raoul
    I don't really think we
    can trust them either.
[02:55] Raoul
    Not to mention, they tried to put
    one over on the carriage driver.
[02:58] Mark
    W-Were you there?
[03:00] Raoul
    Yeah.
[03:01] Raoul
    I heard the sound of a carriage,
[03:03] Raoul
    so I hid nearby, hoping to get
     a look at the detectives.
[03:06] Tsugaru
    On top of the crumbling tower, right?
[03:08] Raoul
    Y-You saw me?
[03:13] Raoul
    He's like a vampire.
[03:19] Lord Godard
    Anyway, I believe they
    are capable detectives.
[03:22] Claude
    Capable detectives, huh?
[03:23] Mark
    Oh, no thank you...
[03:25] Claude
    If you ask me, they seem
    like cheap con artists.
[03:30] Mark
    Er...
[03:31] Mark
    By the way, Ms. Severed Head,
    how did you know about Natalie earlier?
[03:36] Aya
    That's quite simple. I could
    tell by looking at your clothes.
[03:40] Claude
    Who's Natalie?
[03:41] Raoul
    That severed head mentioned that
[03:43] Raoul
    the driver had stopped drinking
    because his wife yelled at him.
[03:47] Aya
    Your vest...
[03:48] Aya
    Around the stomach, the color is faded
    and the seams are worn.
[03:52] Aya
    It must get soiled frequently, and your
     wife scrubs it clean every time.
[03:56] Aya
    You have a habit of spilling
    food on your clothes.
[03:59] Aya
    Usually, adults only do that
    when they're severely drunk.
[04:03] Aya
    Your facial hair is unkempt,
    but the collar of your shirt is clean,
[04:07] Aya
    and some of the buttons have been replaced.
[04:10] Aya
    That suggests your wife
    regularly irons and mends it.
[04:14] Aya
    Your vest appears to have been
    last washed about a week ago,
[04:20] Aya
    but there don't seem to be any
    new stains around your stomach.
[04:23] Aya
    Which would mean that you
    haven't had a drink in a week.
[04:26] Aya
    But why?
[04:28] Aya
    Because someone sternly
    told you to stop drinking.
[04:31] Aya
    For example, a scrupulous housewife
    sick of having to wash
[04:34] Aya
    her drunken husband's dirty clothes.
[04:37] Aya
    She seems attentive and rather lovely.
[04:40] Aya
    You should treasure her.
[04:41] Mark
    I will...
[04:43] Claude
    That's amazing.
[04:45] Claude
    You remind me of that famous
    detective from London.
[04:48] Claude
    I think his name was Charles... No, Cielo...
[04:50] Shizuku
    Sherlock Holmes.
[04:52] Claude
    That's it.
[04:53] Aya
    I'm quite flattered to be compared
    to the great Mister Holmes.
[04:56] Aya
    Though I must say, I'm not
    as much of a genius as he is.
[04:59] Claude
    Have you ever met him?
[05:00] Aya
    No, I have not met him in person.
[05:03] Aya
    I hope I never meet him, in fact.
[05:06] Aya
    I hear he's quite the weirdo.
[05:09] Aya
    Now then, Lord Godard, there are a few
    things I'd like for you to tell me.
[05:13] Lord Godard
    What might that be?
[05:14] Aya
    It's about the night Madame
    Hannah was murdered.
[05:17] Aya
    The body was discovered
    just past 1:30 AM, correct?
[05:21] Aya
    Did you have lunch around
    midnight that day, as well?
[05:25] Lord Godard
    Yes, with everyone in the mansion.
[05:27] Aya
    When did you finish your meal?
[05:29] Lord Godard
    I believe around 12:30.
[05:32] Aya
    About an hour before the body was found, then.
[05:35] Aya
    What did she do after she
    was done with her meal?
[05:39] Lord Godard
    As usual,
[05:41] Lord Godard
    she said she was going to
    rest for a bit in her room.
[05:46] Lord Godard
    I went up to the study on the second floor,
[05:48] Lord Godard
    and was chatting with Claude.
[05:51] Aya
    Did any of you see Madame
    Hannah after your meal?
[05:58] Aya
    So you were with Claude after the meal?
[06:01] Lord Godard
    Y-Yes. We were talking about
    the management of the town.
[06:06] Lord Godard
    Charlotte tagged along.
    She was playing with her dolls.
[06:11] Lord Godard
    When 1:00 AM came around,
    Claude and I left the study together
[06:15] Lord Godard
    and parted ways in the entry hall.
[06:19] Lord Godard
    I always go out hunting
    on Mondays at that hour.
[06:23] Lord Godard
    So I went to the storage room
    to get my rifle.
[06:25] Lord Godard
    Nothing seemed amiss there at the time.
[06:30] Tsugaru
    Which suggests the weapon was taken,
     and your wife attacked, after that.
[06:35] Aya
    So it would seem.
[06:40] Lord Godard
    Not a minute after I left the mansion,
[06:42] Lord Godard
    Raoul said that he wanted to go look
    at plants, so he tagged along.
[06:48] Lord Godard
    He was with me the whole time in the forest.
[06:51] Lord Godard
    I fired my rifle three times, but I failed
     to hit my target even once.
[06:55] Claude
    What? You didn't hit anything then?
[06:57] Aya
    What do you mean?
[06:58] Claude
    Well, I heard the three gunshots
    go off deep in the forest.
[07:02] Aya
    Deep in the forest... How curious.
[07:07] Aya
    By the way, where did you go after
    you parted ways with Lord Godard?
[07:11] Claude
    I returned to my room and was by myself.
[07:14] Claude
    I left Charlotte with Giselle.
[07:17] Claude
    She wouldn't shut up about
    wanting to sing.
[07:19] Aya
    Understood. Let's move on.
[07:21] Aya
    Raoul, what were you doing during the thirty
    minutes after you finished eating,
[07:26] Aya
    but before you went hunting?
[07:27] Raoul
    Why are you asking me that?
[07:30] Raoul
    You're questioning us because
    you suspect us, is that it?
[07:33] Lord Godard
    Ms. Rindo, don't tell me you
    think one of us killed Hannah.
[07:37] Aya
    Yes, that is what I believe.
[07:39] Lord Godard
    I-Impossible... That's just absurd.
[07:42] Aya
    Well, Raoul. Would you care to enlighten me?
[07:46] Aya
    If you can't tell me, I'll have
    to assume that there's quite a reason.
[07:52] Raoul
    I'm the opposite of my brother.
    I was in my room until one.
[07:56] Raoul
    But I was with my father
     when the murder happened,
[08:00] Raoul
    so I'm not the murderer.
[08:01] Aya
    But there's a bit of a time gap between
    when Lord Godard checked the storage room
[08:06] Aya
    and when you exited the mansion.
[08:10] Raoul
    Vampires may be fast, but we can't
    commit a murder in a minute.
[08:14] Aya
    By the way, while you were in
    your room, did you hear any noises?
[08:18] Raoul
    No, not at all.
[08:19] Aya
    I see. Thank you very much.
     Next, Ms. Giselle.
[08:24] Giselle
    Y-Y-Yes, ma'am?
[08:25] Aya
    Where did you go, and what did you
    do, after lunch ended at 12:30 AM?
[08:29] Giselle
    I-I cleaned up the kitchen, a-and then
    went to the laundry room at 1:00 AM.
[08:36] Giselle
    That's what I do every day.
[08:39] Giselle
    On my way, I ran into those two.
[08:41] Giselle
    Miss Lottie seemed bored, so I sang
    her some songs while I did the laundry.
[08:48] Giselle
    So from 1:00 AM until
    the body was discovered,
[08:51] Giselle
    you were with Miss Charlotte the whole time?
[08:54] Giselle
    I believe that I went to the bathroom once.
[08:58] Giselle
    But that only took a minute or two.
    Otherwise, I was with Miss Charlotte.
[09:03] Aya
    I see.
[09:04] Aya
    Miss Charlotte, is that true?
[09:07] Charlotte
    Yes.
[09:08] Aya
    Very good. Thank you.
[09:11] Aya
    Next, Mr. Alfred.
[09:14] Aya
    Where did you go, and what did
    you do, after the meal?
[09:17] Alfred
    I went down to the office in the basement
    and was adjusting the master's schedule.
[09:22] Alfred
    Other than that, nothing.
[09:25] Aya
    Which means you were by
    yourself the whole time.
[09:28] Alfred
    Indeed, that is correct.
[09:30] Aya
    Did you hear any noise when
    you were in that room?
[09:34] Alfred
    No, not at all.
[09:35] Aya
    Thank you very much.
[09:38] Aya
    This means that we've managed to
    narrow down the ones without an alibi
[09:42] Aya
    after 1:00 AM to two people...
[09:43] Aya
    Mister Alfred and Claude.
[09:46] Alfred
    I-I would never!
[09:48] Claude
    Give me a break.
[09:49] Lord Godard
    Ms. Rindo! There's no way that
    Claude would kill his mother.
[09:54] Lord Godard
    Alfred can't be the killer, either!
[09:56] Lord Godard
    He's not the sort of human that
    would engage in hunting.
[09:59] Aya
    Lord Godard, I'm fairly certain
    I explained this earlier.
[10:03] Aya
    There are far too many factors that
    make it highly implausible
[10:06] Aya
    that this was done by an outsider.
[10:09] Lord Godard
    Yes, but...
[10:17] Giselle
    Miss Charlotte!
[10:20] Tsugaru
    Thanks for the meal.
[10:24] Tsugaru
    It's strange that you can sorta
    plop animal blood onto a dish like that
[10:27] Tsugaru
    and have it looking like
    some expensive cuisine.
[10:32] Tsugaru
    The Japanese do say that blood
    is thicker than saltwater fish,
[10:35] Tsugaru
    so it might actually be tasty.
[10:37] Aya
    It's "thicker than water."
     And the phrase involves "koi."
[10:39] Tsugaru
    Koi? I can't say that I recommend eating
    koi. They're very... fishy.
[10:44] Aya
    Honestly, once you get on a roll,
    you never know when to quit.
[10:47] Aya
    Shizuku, say something.
[10:49] Shizuku
    Please jump in a pond and
    feed yourself to the koi.
[10:52] Tsugaru
    S-So cold... and unkind.
[10:56] Tsugaru
    By the way, Master, how goes the investigation?
[10:59] Aya
    Logical deductions made
     based upon the facts
[11:02] Aya
    have revealed two mutually
    contradictory factors.
[11:05] Aya
    Thus, my scrutiny continues.
[11:07] Tsugaru
    That was as clear as mud.
[11:09] Aya
    Exactly, it's as clear as mud to me.
    You're keeping up so well!
[11:13] Tsugaru
    But you talked like you
    knew everything earlier.
[11:16] Aya
    That was mostly to buy us time.
[11:19] Aya
    Anyway, Shizuku.
[11:21] Shizuku
    Yes, Lady Aya.
[11:22] Aya
    I want you to keep an eye on the two servants.
[11:25] Aya
    Stop them if they try to leave.
[11:28] Shizuku
    As you wish.
[11:30] Tsugaru
    Do you think the servants did it?
[11:32] Aya
    I'd say they're the prime suspects.
[11:35] Aya
    This murder would've proven
    difficult for the others.
[11:38] Aya
    For Lord Godard, Claude—
[11:39] Claude
    What's this about me?
[11:42] Tsugaru
    Well, hello there.
[11:44] Tsugaru
    Comment allez-vous?
[11:45] Claude
    I didn't kill my mother, detectives.
[11:48] Aya
    Oh?
[11:49] Claude
    You're breaking your necks over nothing.
[11:51] Aya
    Good sir, my neck is long since broken.
[11:53] Claude
    Well...
[11:57] Claude
    There's at least one more neck to break.
[11:59] Claude
    Father may have signed that pact,
    but I'm still a vampire!
[12:03] Claude
    I can easily snap your neck like a twig.
[12:07] Tsugaru
    I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
[12:13] Tsugaru
    Master, are you all right?
[12:15] Aya
    That was certainly a threat.
[12:16] Tsugaru
    It sure was. Do you think he's the murderer?
[12:19] Aya
    It'd be so simple if I could
    say without a doubt that he was...
[12:23] Aya
    But his hands were clean.
[12:26] Aya
    During our meal, I made sure to pay close
    attention to all of the vampires' hands.
[12:31] Aya
    And all of their hands were pristine.
    Not so much as a scratch on them.
[12:35] Tsugaru
    What exactly does that mean?
[12:37] Aya
    I guess, for now, we should look for that.
[12:43] Alfred
    Won't you have a seat?
[12:44] Shizuku
    No, don't mind me.
[12:49] Giselle
    Have you been an attendant long?
[12:51] Shizuku
    Ever since I was born.
[12:53] Giselle
    That must've been very hard.
[12:55] Shizuku
    From my perspective, you two have it harder.
[13:00] Alfred
    True. Having to live our lives
    at night can prove difficult,
[13:04] Alfred
    but after twenty years, you get used to it.
[13:08] Giselle
    I'm still not used to it.
[13:10] Giselle
    But I've gotten quite skilled at drawing
    blood from various animals.
[13:14] Alfred
    That's a special skill you can
    only hone in this household.
[13:19] Alfred
    It's already 1:00 AM.
[13:21] Alfred
    I must head to the study.
[13:23] Shizuku
    You may not.
[13:24] Shizuku
    Please remain here. I've been
    ordered to stay with you both.
[13:30] Alfred
    But I have work that I must
    attend to with the master.
[13:34] Giselle
    The master actually just headed west
    into the forest with Mister Shinuchi.
[13:38] Alfred
    What? For what reason?
[13:40] Giselle
    I'm not sure,
[13:41] Giselle
    but Mister Shinuchi was laughing
    about going to look for something.
[13:46] Alfred
    What is wrong with that man?
[13:49] Alfred
    Oh, I'm terribly sorry for
    insulting your master like that.
[13:52] Shizuku
    Please, go ahead.
[13:54] Shizuku
    I don't serve the likes of that
    lowlife, bastard storyteller wannabe.
[13:59] Shizuku
    The only one I serve is Lady Aya Rindo.
[14:05] Aya
    Tsugaru, have you caught a cold?
[14:07] Tsugaru
    No, I just suddenly felt a chill.
[14:09] Lord Godard
    Will you be all right? It tends to
    be below freezing here at night.
[14:14] Tsugaru
    Don't worry about me. This ain't nothin'
    compared to the winters in Hakodate.
[14:19] Lord Godard
    Hakodate?
[14:20] Lord Godard
    Come to think of it,
    you mentioned you were from Japan.
[14:23] Lord Godard
    But I must say, your French is rather good.
[14:26] Tsugaru
    Well, Master beat it into my brain.
[14:29] Aya
    I did no such thing. I don't have
    the means to beat you, after all.
[14:33] Tsugaru
    Welp, you've got me there.
[14:39] Lord Godard
    Ms. Rindo, none of the mansion's
     inhabitants are the murderer.
[14:45] Lord Godard
    The way she was killed was definitely
    the work of a vampire hunter.
[14:48] Lord Godard
    Please investigate in a more logical manner.
[14:51] Aya
    But I am investigating in a logical manner.
[14:54] Aya
    I'm only paying attention to the obvious.
[14:57] Lord Godard
    Huh?
[14:58] Aya
    The site of the hunter attack
    is further ahead, is it not?
[15:02] Aya
    Let us hurry.
[15:03] Tsugaru
    But you sure do care about your family.
[15:06] Lord Godard
    I don't wish to lose any more family.
    That is all.
[15:11] Lord Godard
    I've lost so much already.
[15:13] Tsugaru
    Are you talking about Madame Hannah?
[15:15] Lord Godard
    Even before I came to this area,
[15:18] Lord Godard
    I'd lost three members of my family to murder.
[15:21] Tsugaru
    I see.
[15:24] Lord Godard
    By the way...
[15:25] Lord Godard
    Since you're from Japan, you may have heard
    about a monster that never dies.
[15:31] Tsugaru
    Yes, I believe I've heard of
    'em. You mean "Fushi"?
[15:35] Lord Godard
    They're called "Fushi"?
[15:37] Tsugaru
    In Japanese, that word means "the Immortal."
[15:41] Tsugaru
    There's only one in the world.
[15:43] Tsugaru
    They may look human, but they never die,
[15:47] Tsugaru
    never grow old, never get tired...
[15:49] Tsugaru
    They're a monster
    with a long list of "nevers."
[15:52] Tsugaru
    I hear they're even around
    a thousand years old.
[15:54] Lord Godard
    According to what my father told me,
[15:56] Lord Godard
    no matter how badly they are injured,
    they will regenerate right on the spot.
[16:01] Tsugaru
    So I've heard. Hard not to be envious.
[16:04] Aya
    But you see, there's actually
     one way to kill the Immortal.
[16:08] Aya
    Rather, I should say there's one
     kind of creature that can.
[16:13] Lord Godard
    And what's that?
[16:15] Aya
    The oni.
[16:17] Lord Godard
    Oni?
[16:18] Aya
    In your language, I believe
    they're called "diable" or "ogres."
[16:23] Aya
    In Japan, that word indicates a servant of hell.
[16:26] Aya
    No monster can withstand the brute
    strength produced by an oni's cells.
[16:32] Aya
    An oni is capable of wounding any creature,
[16:35] Aya
    no matter how strong its
    regenerative powers may be.
[16:38] Aya
    Therefore, an oni can also kill the Immortal.
[16:40] Lord Godard
    I see.
[16:41] Aya
    But amusingly enough,
[16:43] Aya
    this does not mean that the oni
    is the ultimate life form.
[16:48] Aya
    Oni may have unrivaled brute strength,
    but they're not very sturdy.
[16:51] Aya
    Gunshots or explosions can easily kill them.
[16:55] Aya
    And most of all, they are
    extremely stupid creatures.
[16:58] Aya
    They were hunted down by humans during
    the Great Purge and are now extinct.
[17:02] Tsugaru
    Not even a single one remains
     that's in decent shape.
[17:06] Tsugaru
    Nothing lasts forever, eh?
[17:09] Lord Godard
    Ms. Rindo... Could it
    be that you're referring
[17:12] Lord Godard
    to yourselves?
[17:15] Lord Godard
    The Immortal and the oni.
[17:17] Tsugaru
    Welp, he's got us, Master.
[17:19] Aya
    Don't admit it so easily.
[17:22] Lord Godard
    When you said, "I'm not dead. Therefore,
    I'm alive," it made me wonder.
[17:27] Lord Godard
    But why are you just a severed head—
[17:29] Aya
    Oh? Is this a surprise attack?
[17:32] Lord Godard
    Yes. It appears as though
    our lantern was too bright.
[17:37] Lord Godard
    I will not attack humans first.
[17:40] Lord Godard
    I will, however, strike fear into the
    hearts of those who dare defy me.
[17:45] Lord Godard
    I am still the King of Monsters, after all.
[18:08] Lord Godard
    Are you the one who killed my wife?
[18:12] Lord Godard
    No matter. Accept your punishment.
[18:15] Tsugaru
    Whoa, there! Hold up!
[18:18] Lord Godard
    Mister Shinuchi.
[18:19] Lord Godard
    I'm going to kill him here and now.
[18:21] Lord Godard
    Will you kindly testify on my behalf
    that it was self-defense?
[18:25] Aya
    We must decline. We will not
    allow you to kill this man.
[18:29] Lord Godard
    But why? He tried to take my life.
[18:32] Lord Godard
    He must've been the one
    who killed my wife as well.
[18:35] Aya
    I'm fairly certain he wasn't.
[18:38] Aya
    It appears as though this man
    just arrived in town today.
[18:43] Aya
    He has soot on his elbow,
[18:45] Aya
    likely from resting his arm
    against the window of a train.
[18:49] Aya
    Doesn't he look like he's spent many days
    traveling here from the German countryside?
[18:57] Tsugaru
    The Friedrich-Franz Railway.
    The date is three days ago.
[19:01] Aya
    Mecklenburg...
[19:03] Aya
    For him to murder your wife in
    this mansion three days ago,
[19:05] Aya
    when he would have been north of
    Berlin, is physically impossible.
[19:09] Aya
    He's not the murderer.
[19:12] Aya
    Hey, you.
[19:14] Aya
    Come back here. Don't run.
[19:16] Josef
    I-I'm sorry! Please spare my life.
[19:19] Aya
    If you answer my questions, I'll spare you.
[19:22] Aya
    What's your name?
[19:24] Josef
    Josef.
[19:25] Aya
    So you are German.
[19:27] Aya
    All of the vampires here are human allies.
    Why did you attack him?
[19:31] Josef
    To avenge Hugo! This monster killed him.
[19:35] Lord Godard
    Nonsense. Hugo was the one
    who attacked me!
[19:39] Josef
    Silence, monster!
[19:41] Aya
    So you did know the other hunter.
[19:43] Aya
    Did you know that Hugo was after Lord Godard?
[19:47] Josef
    W-We talked about it two weeks ago.
[19:51] Josef
    I tried to talk him out of it.
[19:53] Josef
    I said messing with a human ally
     was a bad idea.
[19:55] Josef
    But then he said, fully confident,
[19:57] Josef
    "Don't worry. I'll be able to slay him for sure."
[20:00] Josef
    But three days ago, I found out
    he messed up, so I rushed here.
[20:06] Aya
    The last time you talked to Hugo,
     he seemed very confident?
[20:11] Josef
    Yes. He said he'd gained an incredible ally.
[20:16] Aya
    By the way, Josef, did you know
    that Hugo had a silver stake?
[20:21] Josef
    Silver?
[20:23] Aya
    You didn't know it was silver?
[20:26] Josef
    Well, he always kept it in a leather case.
[20:29] Josef
    No wonder he never showed
    it to me, even when I asked.
[20:33] Aya
    That's enough. Tsugaru, you may release him.
[20:36] Lord Godard
    Please wait, Ms. Rindo!
[20:37] Aya
    Well, I'm sure he's learned
    his lesson after this,
[20:41] Aya
    and he doesn't seem to particularly
    hate human allies.
[20:45] Aya
    I'm fairly certain that he
    won't try to attack you again.
[20:47] Aya
    Isn't that right, Josef?
[20:54] Lord Godard
    I should've punished him more
    when I had the chance.
[20:57] Aya
    Oh, don't be like that.
    Let's forgive the poor lad.
[21:00] Aya
    Because of him, we no longer need
    to wander about the forest.
[21:05] Aya
    Lord Godard, let us return to your mansion.
[21:08] Aya
    Also, please make sure to gather everyone.
[21:13] Aya
    Let us put an end to this humorous
    and tragic farce of a murder case.
