The Little Witch (Die kleine Hexe)

To fool Lady Ayaka,

you've got to get up pretty early in the morning...

little Mamoru.

Good morning!

Mamoru!

Miss Ayaka, time to work!

Thank you for waiting, sir.

Uh, thanks.

Thanks again!

Be careful!

Did you say Dracula?

Yes. To be honest, I just learned about this myself.

Dracula's casket, which is a national treasure...

is now in the hands of a Japanese investor.

During the economic bubble...

there were people who purchased strange items.

Yes.

This is such a shameful thing for me to disclose, but...

So, you're saying that inside the casket...

was a sleeping vampire?

That is the only logical explanation!

I heard that the female victims...

all had twin puncture marks on the sides of their necks.

Almost all the blood had been drained out of their bodies.

It is too similar to the legends of Dracula...

from my homeland of Transylvania.

I will pay any price.

We need your help.

Hmm, any price, you say?

Oh! You have a guest?

Mr. Karino brought cakes?

Hell must have frozen completely over...

Oh! Just as I would have expected.

Err...

Mr. Ishibara, where is assistant lieutenant Karino?

He's never been at that desk as far as I know.

Once he's out of here, he's like a kite without a string.

I ordered him many times...

to clean up this unnatural disaster by this morning!

Look at all the dust you've kicked up!

Yuck! This must be instant tea. It's terrible.

Our homicide department insists that the murderer is...

only a pervert.

A case like this can only be solved...

by Miss Ayaka's You-Gen-Kai-Sya.

You're so good at compliments.

They're certainly victims of the vampire.

Sometimes the police help you, right?

Well, Mr. Karino...

you are such a wonderful detective.

And you're going to help me...

with this investigation.

Yeah! I guess if you put it that way, I can't resist.

How gallant!

But stay out of my way! Got it?

My pleasure.

Employee number 101, Rokkon.

Specialty, exorcism.

Perhaps not him.

Employee number 666, Suimei.

Specialty, Ki force, Western astrology.

Especially esoteric Buddhism.

Able to locate good and bad spirits.

Madame Suimei, huh?

Okay, thanks, Mamoru.

Yes? What would you like to find out?

Oh, what are my chances for marriage?

Zero!

Back to business!

Madame Suimei, your lens cap...

Little Mamoru told me that there is a vampire.

Well, you could have told me that you knew earlier.

A psychic photo!

Cross my palms with silver first.

We can settle our accounts later.

We both know my motto, don't we?

"No money, no credit, no fortune."

Thank you. I'll be sending you a receipt very soon.

You come to rely on me when you are in trouble...

I guess you've learned a lot about business.

Tell me what you see within this picture.

It's an ordinary room with a student dressed in her pajamas.

Huh? Zoom in close to her collar.

Even closer to the area between her collar and neck.

Dracula's love message is there.

Madame Suimei, please zoom in as close as you can get to her eye.

Yes! I found Dracula's bride!

We speak of the vampire, Dracula.

He drinks the blood of others and lives eternally.

He loves the blood of virgins.

Once he finds a victim...

he relentlessly pursues her and won't let her escape.

His only weakness are to garlic, sunshine, Holy water...

and the cross.

N-no.

You're no different than a dirty old man...

chasing after virgins.

Ko-Ryu-Rei-Fu-Sei-Ken!

Mr. Karino.

She's all right. She simply passed out.

Keep an eye on her!

Huh? Uh, but... You mean this girl?

Uh, Miss Ayaka!

Stop!

You bastard!

Wait! Pervert!

KYO Women's University, Literature major, freshman...

Makiko Mizuno...

19 years old, living alone.

Unfortunately, a beautiful princess...

who has been selected by the vampire, Dracula.

How cute!

Who are you?

Uh, don't be afraid.

You-Gen-Kai-Sya?

To be so young is such a terribly grand thing.

I've got to watch these all-nighters.

Miss Ayaka, aren't you hungry?

I'll go buy us something.

"Nata de coco" sounds good.

Natta-de-co-co-a, right.

Natta de cocoa. Natta de cocoa.

I wonder if he really understood.

Makiko!

Wait! I'm not gonna let you get away this time!

Natto de cocoa. Natto de cocoa.

Natto and cocoa! Done!

Ah! Miss Ayaka?

I thought vampires were supposed to be nocturnal.

Damn!

Transylvania?

Even if you don't follow the rules of normal vampires...

picking up young girls in broad daylight...

She said vampire?

Who is that old girl over there?

Who are you calling old?

O... o... oh, by the way. How's your boyfriend?
