Killed Again, Mr. Detective. (また殺されてしまったのですね、探偵様)

Sakuya-sama!

Murder on Gallery Island Part 1

So this is Palermo, the biggest city in Sicily.

What are you doing?

Sending photos of Palermo to Kyu-chan.

It should help with his manga.

You two are really friends now, huh?

We're taking a boat the rest of the way, huh?

Yeah.

So Chardina's island, Reginleiv, is in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the northwest?

Tyrrhenian Sea

Aeolian Islands

"That girl's as crazy as ever, telling us where her secret hideout is."

Still, I'm surprised Yuriu-chan decided to tag along.

It's my master's global debut.

And I was planning on taking a trip, anyway.

As a student and an assistant to two great detectives, let's do our best.

Right?

This gelato is so good!

You said it!

The White Devil Appears?

How do we arrange a boat?

"I've purchased one already."

I guess when you're England's greatest detective,

you work on a different scale.

Ya really settin' out to sea? Now?

That's the plan.

Is that a problem?

It's fine, but watch out for the siren.

Siren? Like in the myths?

Yeah.

If ya hear strange singin', be careful.

Ciao.

Set sail for Reginleiv!

Set a course northwest! Weigh anchor!

Belka's going to steer?

Don't worry. I've got a license.

There's nothing to worry about.

I don't know if I believe that.

This feels so good.

Sakuya!

The ship's sinking!

What?!

Sakuya-sama!

Oh, you're alive.

Who's this guy?

Sakuya-sama!

Lilithea.

Are you okay?

Where are we?

It seems to be a small island called Acquario.

Our ship very nearly sank, but we managed to moor it here.

Is everyone okay?

Yes. They're waiting for us over in that mansion.

I'm Herbie. I'm a photographer.

Herbie

A photographer?

I travel the world, photographing seas and islands.

We get called "landscape" photographers.

I see.

A child's scribbling?

Is that an annex or something?

Weird decoration, huh? Wonder if it's supposed to mean something.

What's it supposed to be?

A mermaid?

No, not a mermaid. A siren.

A siren?

Ancient legends tell of a siren on this island.

The picture is both beautiful and symbolic, isn't it?

Yes.

And you are?

My name is Ursuna.

I work here as both a maid and a precettore.

I'm glad you found your friend.

Thank you.

Please rest up here in the mansion while your ship is repaired.

I'll inform the lady of the house.

That would be fantastic.

The "lady of the house"?

My mistress.

She's resting in her room right now.

I assume she's exhausted after all of the visitors we've been getting.

Sorry for barging in.

Oh, no, I'm not referring to you.

Oh?

It's raining.

The weather report did predict a big storm.

A storm?

Wait, Herbie was walking out front. Will he be okay?

You met him?

Yes. He says he's a photographer?

Is he staying in this mansion as well?

Yes.

I'd much prefer it if he left, but...

He came here from another island aboard a fishing boat this morning.

This island is the mistress's private property,

but he snaps away without permission.

What a troublesome man.

Sakuya-san, make yourself at home in this guest room.

I'll call for you when lunch is ready.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Not at all. Well, until later.

Oh, you dropped something.

I'm sorry.

What is that?

Um, this is...

A secret between the two of us.

It's a decorative color sheet.

I've secretly been making decorations for my mistress's birthday tomorrow.

And you want it to be a surprise, right?

Yes. Please keep it between us.

The scent of a lady.

So they call this "art," do they?

Come in.

I see your room is the same as mine.

Same window and moon painting?

Yes.

Although it's a waxing moon in mine, and it's white.

So each room has a different moon?

And the entrance hall had that big painting.

The owner of this place must love art.

Sakuya-sama, based on the paintings we've seen all over the building,

the owner of this mansion...

What about them?

Never mind.

It also seems we can't get phone signal here.

I wanted to look up the weather.

Yeah, I had the same issue.

Master! You're alive!

I'm so glad! I was sure you were dead.

I'm glad you're all safe, too.

And, uh, I'm sorry for getting you caught up in this.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Aw, come on. We're friends, right?

"I don't consider us friends, but we can't turn the ship around now."

"Turn the ship around."

"Looks like it'll take a while to repair that ship, though."

I see.

It won't be easy to get to Reginleiv, then.

Um...

Uh...

What?

I heard a group washed up today, but it seems it's just kids.

And they have a dog?

Sorry to intrude. I'm Outsuki Sakuya.

Dimitry Zavattini

Hey, don't be so rude.

This is why you don't have any friends at school.

Can we eat now?

Please wait a moment. The mistress isn't here yet.

Sorry I'm late.

Wow. So many guests!
