Undead Murder Farce (アンデッドガール・マーダーファルス)

You piece of shit! Why'd you save me?!

Your job is to exterminate, you moron!

I presume he's a member of the Banquet.

Hello there, Victor. It's been a while.

I figured those insurance guys might be giving you some trouble.

Are you alone for once?

Aleister and Carmilla are here as well.

Well, you're late. I thought you'd be here earlier.

Anyway, we'll be heading off now.

Ow!

Do you really think I saved you for free?

Tell me where the werewolf village is.

You all seem to say the same thing.

Well, things are a bit complicated right now.

Our original motive was to fight you all, of course...

I think your maid went downriver. I saw a commotion.

Well, that'll speed things up.

We'd like some time to meet back up with Shizuku.

Don't worry. Carmilla is with us.

We can't do anything during the day.

Tsugaru, tell him.

It's at the base of the fourth mountain from the west.

Hand over the diamond.

Huh?

I'll take it as collateral in case your information is false.

If I see you at the werewolf village, I'll return it.

Aren't you the shrewd one?

Well, bye now.

Hey. You said something about us showing up late...

Did I? A birdbrain like me forgets things so quickly...

You manipulated us to lose the insurance guys, didn't you?

Well, my mouth's all I've got going for me...

Where the River's Flow Changes

Episode Twelve

Master, isn't this Miss Shizuku's nightgown?

Oh, over here, too.

See? I knew it was Miss Shizuku's.

Whoa.

I-It really worked. What should I do?

Well, hello there! Lovely day, isn't it?

Blue hair... bird cage... severed head...

Whoa, it really is a severed head!

Are you Lady Aya?

Indeed, I am Lady Aya.

Um... I'm Vera. I've been waiting for you guys.

I'll lead you to the village.

Village? Um... do you mean the werewolf village?

Yes, Wolphinhel.

Here, wear this. It'll mask your smell a little.

Who told you we'd be coming?

Shizuku. I'll take you to her now.

You...

Lady Aya?!

Hello there, Shizuku. Are you hurt?

I'm fine. How are you, Lady Aya?

I'm perfectly fine, besides missing everything from the neck down.

You were actually useful for once.

Why, thank you.

I'll be waiting for my reward.

Ow!

Here you go, Miss Shizuku.

We managed to find everything, even your shoes.

Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say?

Where is my underwear?

Oh, whoopsie! Guess I forgot.

Now, then...

We heard most of the details on our way here. It appears you had quite the time.

Tell me the results of your investigation.

I smell something from the prison.

It's a bizarre smell.

Could it be that woman's companions? But we kept an eye on the forest...

Let's go.

Well done. Thank you, Shizuku.

Of course.

Miss Kaya, do you know a werewolf named Alma? She's an artist.

There's no one by that name here.

I figured not. Now, then...

Would it be a bad idea for Shizuku to escape from here?

What?!

She can't! The Blutkralle will come and check. They'll notice.

Are these Blutkralle strong?

They are. They're our village's elite.

Very well.

I'm terribly sorry, Shizuku, but you'll have to stay in here a while longer.

Tsugaru and I will investigate the scene of the crime.

Couldn't we rest a bit longer?

They'll notice us soon. This is a race against time.

Tsugaru, do you have any candles?

I do have an oil lamp.

Are you going to try to scare them with fire?

Not exactly...

They're after us already.

Now, now...

Oh? Are we here?

Is that the tree that was shot?

I see... Tsugaru.

Show me the bloodstains.

And no other bloodstains in the area...

Take me around that stone.

This is bad. They're already here.

Can you show me the bottom of this stone?

Yes, exactly.

Shifting a bit with each step...

Try touching that spot.

No, really. We should...

No, more to the right. The spot that's a slightly different color.

Oh?

The smell stops.

Where did they go?

Did you know this would be down here, Master?

If no one heard gunshots, that means

the girls must've been killed somewhere enclosed.

Also, the werewolves couldn't track the culprit's scent.

A place where a gunshot wouldn't be heard, which the werewolves couldn't detect...

It had to be underground.

Whose blood is this?

We'll have to follow it and find out.

The victims were shot and killed here, then dragged out to the surface.

That cloth was probably used to carry them, and that's the murder weapon.

A 20 bore shotgun.

A worn old single-shot...

Ah...

This must be the gun that was stolen from Gustav.

It's Gustav's? What's it doing here?

I'm sure we'll find out if we go deeper.

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

The victim from yesterday must have died here.

The body must've been wet from soaking in this pond.

Seems like the shape of the bloodstain is different.

It comes from shooting someone in a prone position from above.

I see.

But the gun was at the entrance.

The culprit shot one round into the tree,

meaning they brought the gun along with the body.

Why go to so much trouble?

Hey, Tsugaru.

Shine the light over there.

Illuminate the wall.

Bewährung... Probation?

These are days.

Five days in each grouping.

There seem to be around 500 days here.

Five hundred and fifty.

Let's move on.

Louise?

Well, hello. It's been a while.

There aren't many bloodstains. She wasn't killed here.

I wonder who did it.

It appears as though the two cases are now connected.

Look.

We're after a werewolf, right? Not a tanuki?

Indeed.

I just feel like someone's putting one over on us.

Oh, dear.

It seemed unlikely that Rosa, who was severely injured, could have climbed a cliff,

so I figured there had to be a different route somewhere.

By the way, Tsugaru, you're covered in moth scales.

Huh?

We originally walked about eight hours to get to the village,

but this way was much quicker.

Probably less than two hours.

You two.

What are you doing here?

This body is definitely Louise's, correct?

Yes, without a doubt, it's Louise's.
