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

What you've done is a sin!

Running away isn't a sin!

I have no role or obligation!

You are a priestess!

I never agreed to become a priestess!

You tried to end our bloodline!

That is a great sin!

It's not going to end.

I can live anywhere!

This village is all we have!

If that's true, then we should just cease to be!

I—

Where the Wolves Dwell

Episode Eleven

That bite mark...

It matches the one seen in the other cases.

Then that would mean—

Shit, shit, shit!

She got away. We searched the forest but couldn't find her.

Good work.

By the way, were you shooting at me or the werewolf here?

Hmph.

So it was Alma.

It appears as though we have our culprit.

As promised, could you give us information regarding the Forest of Fangs?

Hey, hey! You're not the ones who found her.

It'd be lovely if you'd calm down a bit.

I haven't forgotten my promise to lead you two there.

Shit.

At dawn,

go stand in the burnt remains of the watchtower.

Once the sun goes up, hold up the stone,

with the poem pointed towards the sun.

That's all.

The stone will show you the rest.

So...

Which is the Forest of Fangs?

Who knows?

The mayor said we'd find out if we stood here.

If it turns out to be a lie, it'll mean y'all are useless to us.

Then I'll roast you on the spot. You hear me? On the spot.

So this is...

...the Forest of Fangs.

All righty, then.

In that case, let's get going...

to the werewolf village.

They're on the move.

You're awake?

You're impressive. I didn't think you'd wake up until morning.

Um... Where am I?

Vera, Kaya, thank you. I think she's okay now.

Geh, she's awake.

Wh-What are we gonna do, Nora? Should we call Gunter?

Do not.

But I mean... What if she's...

Vera, this person isn't the culprit.

She has a rifle, which does not fire buckshot.

Good morning. Is everything okay now?

It seems so.

Thanks, Kaya.

Hello.

Are you okay? They said you came floating down from upstream.

Nora found you and pulled you out.

W-We have your weapon!

Your body was frozen, so I had Kaya and Vera warm you up.

Yes, to go along with our midday nap.

I don't know how to thank you.

Did you say midday nap?

What you consider night is our midday.

That's why it's a midday nap.

Be careful.

Everyone in this village has noses and ears far keener than yours.

Humans aren't supposed to be here.

Um... Where am I?

Wolphinhel.

This is our village. The village of werewolves.

Is this your house, Miss Nora?

Yes.

Do you three live together?

No, everyone lives alone.

No one has a partner in this village.

I see.

Shizuku Hasei... That's not a name from around here.

I came from the far east... From a country named Japan.

That oddly-shaped rifle... It was made out of silver.

Why were you carrying it?

Well...

Nora, are you sure she's not the culprit?

Um...

You keep mentioning a culprit.

May I ask what that's about?

Serial murders have been occurring. Girls from our village are being killed.

The murders always happen on rainy days.

The person I serve is named Aya Rindo.

Lady Aya is a detective by occupation,

and specializes in cases involving inhuman creatures.

Detective?

They're people who solve mysteries and cases like these.

Lady Aya may be able to help all of you.

Where is this Lady Aya now?

She's currently in a human village. She should arrive here shortl—

Here?!

We can't have any more humans showing up.

We won't be able to hide you all.

No, you don't have to worry. Lady Aya is—

Sorry, Shizuku, but we can't trust a word you say.

If you really have nothing to do with the murders,

please leave the village immediately.

I am not your enemy.

You drink tea in this village?

Why did you put hot water in the cups? Are you going to drink it?

It's to warm the inside of the cup.

Why do you warm it up?

So that the temperature of the tea doesn't go down when you pour it.

Here you go.

I wanted to thank you for saving me.

There'd better not be poison in here.

We were watching, so it's fine.

Chamomile, rosehips, and elderflower?

And... calendula?

Y-Yes.

I think it's good.

It's totally different from our usual tea.

Well, at least it's not poisoned.

Thank you very much.

Um... If you tell me to leave, I will oblige.

But before I leave, could you just tell me what is happening in this village?

It started a year ago.

There have been three victims so far.

The first one was a 14-year-old girl named Romi.

She was found in the forest on a rainy day.

She had been shot in the face with a shotgun.

The second was Etta. She was eleven.

She was killed exactly the same way as Romi four months later.

Four months later, 15-year-old Clarissa, too...

They still haven't found the killer.

The Blutkralle searched for the killer for days, but couldn't track down the scent.

The rain had erased it.

Blutkralle?

The men of this village. They protect us.

Did the three victims have anything in common?

Not really. Just the fact that they were girls.

But didn't they all seem a bit weird right before they died?

Spacing out, seeming nervous?

There really aren't any clues about the killer?

The only thing we know for certain is they have a shotgun,

they effectively cover their scent each time,

and they're skilled at catching others by surprise.

Because you can't kill us unless we're in our human forms.

No one heard the gunshots?

We've never heard them.

There are probably guns that don't make sound, aren't there?

I've never heard of a shotgun not making any sound.

You all have a keen sense of smell, right?

If there were a human in this village, wouldn't you be able to sniff them out?

What are you trying to say?

Nothing.

We're done talking.
