At last, they were now in Weimar, and Fiona finally met Eisenhauer again… together with Kafka and Cossette. Now he had a task for them, namely to find the grave of the Dark Bride. That was why they were supposed to go to someone named Count Heinz. By the way, Heinz is his name.
Fiona: "Thank you very much, Sir Eisenhauer…"
Eisenhauer: "You're welcome, but you surely had a long journey… get some rest…"
Fiona: "Huh…?"
Eisenhauer: "Oh come on, Fiona… life has to be enjoyed, not just work, work…"
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "What about Kafka?"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Oh by the way, Mr. Eisenhauer… I'd like to ask you something…"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Eisenhauer: "Yes?"
Fiona: "I'd like Cossette to attend the Elizabeth Herbert School…"
Cossette: "What?"
Eisenhauer: "Are you sure?"
Fiona: "If it's possible… what do you think, Cossette? You've never been to school…"
Cossette: "That would be great… hehehe…"
Eisenhauer: "Well… she is very young, but it might work… for two years now we've even been training people from the age of ten… it could work… oh, by the way, your pass is here too, Kafka…"
He handed him his pass.
Kafka: "Why this photo…"
Eisenhauer: "What, because you can only see half of your head? Not my problem that you were only 140 cm tall back then…"
Fiona: "Sweats… I don't want to sound mean… but were you really that short?"
Kafka: "Can we please change the topic."
Eisenhauer: "Why, so we don't ask whether your little thing is that small too?"
Fiona: "Huh! Sir Eisenhauer!"
Kafka: "Sweats… why do you even want to know…"
Eisenhauer: "Curiosity… maybe that's why Greta wasn't interested…"
Fiona: "Sir Eisenhauer!"
Cossette: "What is a little thing?"
Fiona: "Ngh…"
Eisenhauer: "Oh dear, it's too early for you… wait until you have your first relationship…"
Fiona: "Ghh…"
Kafka: "Whoa, whoa, Fiona…"
She tried to attack him, he held her back.
Fiona: "Are you trying to seduce her? You sick bastard?"
Eisenhauer: "What, you're not that young anymore, are you…"
Cossette: "I'm eleven…"
Eisenhauer: "Oh my goodness, I thought she was thirteen…"
Fiona: "Ghhhh… I'll kill him…"
Kafka: "Fiona… hold on… we can kick his ass after he retires…"
Fiona: "If I find out you quit, I'll come back here and give you the strongest kick you've ever experienced…"
They left the room.
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Kafka: "Hm?"
Cossette: "Oh dear…"
Crash
Eisenhauer: "Aaaah!"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Kafka: "Huh?"
They went back. The waitress was there, but Eisenhauer was lying on the floor with his hands on his groin.
Kafka: "Uh…"
Fiona: "Sweats…"
Eisenhauer: "Ouch… my future…"
Waitress: "Future? You're seventy years old. The only future waiting for you is the grave. Hmph."
She left the room, but before that, she kicked Kafka in the balls.
Kafka: "Ugh, what did I do… ugh…"
He fell to the floor.
Waitress: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Um…"
Waitress: "Hmm…"
Slap
She punched Fiona in the stomach.
Fiona: "Hey, what do you think you're doing, wait…"
Fiona grabbed her staff and hit the waitress in the stomach.
Waitress: "Ghhhhhhhhhhhh!"
She fell to her knees.
Fiona: "Seriously…"
Kafka: "Whoa…"
Eisenhauer: crap… I think I'm in the wrong movie…"
Kafka: "What the hell did you do…"
Fiona: "Sweats… uh… guys… I think we have a problem…"
Eisenhauer: "I'm busy with myself… ugh…"
Kafka: "But why… me… I didn't do anything…"
Fiona: "Guys…"
Kafka: "What?"
Fiona: "I think… we need an ambulance…"
Eisenhauer: "Good idea…"
Kafka: "Wait, why?"
Fiona: "Well…"
She pointed at the waitress.
Fiona: "I think the waitress got hit pretty badly…"
Eisenhauer: "She deserved it… why did she kick my balls… ugh…"
Knock
Eisenhauer: "Oh oh… I think something burst…"
Kafka: "That's just the button on your suit, you idiot, because you're fat… ugh…"
Fiona: "Fine, I'll check on her myself…"
She went to the waitress.
Fiona: "Hey…"
Waitress: "Huh… you hit me… that's so cool…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
She hugged her.
Fiona: "Ugh, what…"
Waitress: "For that you get a kiss…"
Fiona: "Agh! Help… she's crazy…"
Eisenhauer: "Well… she never had any shame from the start…"
Waitress: "I've never kissed a woman before, but we can try…"
Fiona: "Help! Help! I ended up in a madhouse… one is perverted and this one is completely insane…"
Kafka: "What the fuck!"
Waitress: "Come on… mmm…"
She moved closer. Fiona pushed her away and ran.
Fiona: "Cossette, follow me…"
Cossette: "Fiona, wait…"
She followed her.
Waitress: "Oh, too bad… I just wanted to say thank you and give you the candy because it didn't taste good…"
Eisenhauer: "What!"
Kafka: "I can't take this anymore… I want to go home…"
Meanwhile
Fiona: "Hahh… what a day…"
Cossette: "Fiona?"
Fiona: "Yes?"
Cossette: "Shouldn't we go back?"
Fiona: "No, for now we really should rest… I forgot what Mr. Eisenhauer can be like…"
Cossette: "Hmm…"
They walked past a woman.
Unknown woman: "Fiona… is that you!"
A familiar voice. Fiona turned around. It was Naomi.
Fiona: "Naomi!"
Naomi: "Fiona!"
She went to her and hugged her.
Fiona: "Hahaha… what are you doing here…"
Naomi: "I should ask you that… I told you I'd live in Weimar with my grandma…"
Fiona: "I see… you look good…"
Cossette: "Naomi…"
Naomi: "Oh… little Cossette… I missed you so much…"
Fiona: "I'm glad you're doing well…"
Naomi: "Yes… hehe… well… I came here to visit my grandma, but unfortunately I found out she passed away three months ago…"
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Naomi: "That explains why she didn't send me letters anymore… I thought she had forgotten…"
Fiona: "I'm sorry…"
Naomi: "Oh, it's okay. My grandma was really old. She was ninety five…"
Fiona: "And what are you doing now?"
Naomi: "I work as a fashion designer now… you know, jewelry and suits…"
Fiona: "I see…"
Naomi: "Mhm…"
Fiona: "It's really good to see you again…"
Naomi: "Likewise…"
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Naomi: "And what are you doing?"
Fiona: "I have another mission…"
Naomi: "Oh… what is it about?"
Fiona: "Well… it's about the Dark Arrow. Ever heard of it?"
Naomi: "No…"
Fiona: "Have you heard of the Dark Bride?"
Naomi: "Oh… the Witch of Weimar…"
Fiona: "Hmm? That's what she's called?"
Naomi: "Yes… she was the Witch of Weimar and still is. She's in a deep sleep, but she's still called the Witch of Weimar…"
Fiona: "I see…"
Naomi: "What does that have to do with the Dark Arrow?"
Fiona: "The Dark Arrow is a group raised by the Dark Bride. They are children she took care of. It's like a family… their goal is to awaken their mother…"
Naomi: "Is that bad?"
Fiona: "Well… it's dangerous. The Dark Bride is strong, almost as strong as Death. She's a very powerful witch…"
Naomi: "You mean Rudeus?"
Fiona: "Exactly… Death, as people call him…"
Naomi: "Hehehe, listen Fiona… how about you live with me for now? I assume you don't have a place…"
Fiona: "Hmm? No problem… Mr. Eisenhauer will take care of it…"
Naomi: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Don't get me wrong… I'd love to live with you, but it's not necessary…"
Naomi: "I see… hehe, I thought you still had worries because of my past…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Fiona shook her head and smiled at Naomi.
Fiona: "No… I'm smiling, and you know how rare that is… that means I like you…"
Naomi: "Ugh… oh… I see…"
Cossette: "Pouts… mmm… I thought you only smiled at me…"
Fiona: "Oh dear, jealous…"
Cossette: "Hmph…"
She turned away with her arms crossed.
Naomi: "Hehehe…"
Fiona: "Hahh…"
Naomi: "By the way, Fiona… how are Remy and Casper? And Jade?"
Fiona: "I haven't been in contact since I left Roselande…"
Naomi: "I see…"
Footsteps
Someone walked past them wearing a Dark Umbrella outfit.
Fiona: "Ugh… huh…"
Naomi: "What is it?"
Fiona looked shocked.
Fiona: "Naomi… stay with Cossette for a moment, okay?"
Naomi: "Hmm?"
Fiona hurried after him.
Fiona: "That's him… it must be him… Meliodas…"
She followed him into an empty building.
Meliodas: "Long time no see, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Meliodas: "Hehe…"
Fiona: "Huh…"
Fiona had tears in her eyes. She ran to him and hugged him.
Fiona: "Master… Meliodas…"
Meliodas: "Oh my… hehe… I thought I'd meet you here…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Meliodas: "Did you miss me… at least a little…"
For Fiona, Meliodas was like a father figure. Of course she missed him. He took care of her, saved her from experiments. She would never forget the warm hands on her head.
Fiona: "Are you well? I heard you might be in trouble…"
Meliodas: "Hmm… Fiona… I no longer work for Dark Umbrella…"
Fiona: "What?"
Meliodas: "Lately they've been going down strange paths. After Natasha's death, whom you killed, they did nothing. At first they wanted to hunt you down and kill you, but then they changed their minds…"
Fiona: "Why?"
Meliodas looked at her. The hug ended.
Meliodas: "I don't know what they're planning… but it will be dangerous… Beatrix took my place…"
Fiona: "Beatrix? Her? How is that possible? I thought she was too creepy for that…"
Meliodas: "That's why I'm worried. Honestly, I didn't want to meet you. I came here because Eisenhauer said Dark Arrow was planning something. I no longer work for Dark Umbrella, but it's too dangerous to just let Dark Arrow members be. I work alone now… just one person. Me…"
Fiona: "I understand…"
Meliodas: "Hmm…"
He gently stroked her head.
Meliodas: "You've grown… the last time I saw you… you were twelve…"
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Meliodas: "Are you doing well?"
Fiona: "Yes… I'm sorry I worried you…"
Meliodas: "No, you don't have to. Natasha went too far. I actually wanted to kill her before, but you did it first…"
Fiona: "Because of her, Noelle, Parzival, Pinocchio died… and almost Cossette…"
Meliodas: "Cossette?"
Fiona: "Her nickname was Cruella…"
Meliodas: "Oh… she's still alive."
Fiona: "Mhm… I found her and brought her here…"
Meliodas: "Phew… that's good. I thought a child had died because of me…"
Fiona: "It wasn't your fault…"
Meliodas: "It was… I could have stopped her… I'm sorry, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Why are you apologizing, Master? You took care of me… I'd never be angry at you… you're like a father to me…"
Meliodas: "Ugh… hehe… I see…"
He held her cheek.
Meliodas: "Then take good care of Cossette… I have to go…"
Fiona: "Where to?"
Meliodas: "Far away… don't worry, it'll take a while before I leave Weimar… take care of yourself, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Okay…"
He left, waving his hand.
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Fiona returned to Naomi and Cossette.
Naomi: "There you are. What happened?"
Fiona: "Sorry, I thought I saw someone I knew…"
Cossette: "I see…"
Naomi: "I have to go now. I need to open my shop in ten minutes. Goodbye, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Goodbye…"
Cossette: "Goodbye…"
Naomi: "Goodbye…"
Naomi kissed Cossette.
Smack
Naomi: "Goodbye…"
Cossette: "Goodbye…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Naomi: "You too, Fiona…"
Fiona: "What?"
She kissed Fiona's cheek and hurried away.
Naomi: "Goodbye…"
Fiona: "Um…"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Ah… she's from Meltz… it's a normal thing there for short or long goodbyes…"
Cossette: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Anyway, let's go back… maybe that waitress is gone…"
They went back.
Waitress: "Oh… there you are, Miss Fiona…"
Fiona: "Ugh… damn it… wait, how do you know my name?"
Waitress: "Oh, did you forget me? It's me, Rosalie… the girl who always smiled at you at school…"
Fiona: "Oh… Rosalie… now I know why you looked familiar…"
Rosalie: "Hehehe… I sometimes work here as a waitress…"
Fiona: "Hmm… you look a bit strange… is something wrong?"
Rosalie: "Oh… Eisenhauer exaggerates sometimes… hehe…"
Fiona: "Ugh… blushes… I see… I shouldn't have asked…"
Rosalie: "By the way, I wanted to thank you…"
Fiona: "For what?"
Rosalie: "For hitting me in the stomach…"
Fiona: "Sweats… huh?"
Rosalie: "I mean… this time I actually got something… normally people just let it happen…"
Fiona: "Sweats… yeah… okay… I want to leave… where is Eisenhauer…"
Rosalie: "There, as always, in his office…"
Fiona: "Okay…"
She went there and opened the door.
Fiona: "Mr. Eisenhauer… um…"
Kafka was there too. He and Eisenhauer were reading magazines… dirty ones.
Fiona: "Sweats…"
She closed the door.
Fiona: "Hmm… sweating heavily…"
She opened it slightly again.
Kafka: "Wait, it's not what it looks like…"
She closed the door again.
Fiona: "This is too much… I'm leaving again…"
The door opened.
Kafka: "No, wait… it's not what it looks like…"
Eisenhauer: "I forced him to read it or he wouldn't be allowed to leave…"
Kafka: "Exactly… I'm not a pervert…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… okay…"
She went back inside.
Eisenhauer: "Cough… anyway… let's get back to the topic… oh, a cookie… crack… so… back to the topic… oh, half a cookie… crack… where were we… right, Dark Arrow… oh, the rest of a cookie… crack…"
Kafka: "Sweats…"
Fiona: "Is he a child…"
Eisenhauer: "Dark Arrow… cough… I think you should go to Count Heinz… he works at Neuschwanstein Castle… there you can meet him, and he will help you with Dark Arrow… until then you can rest… Fiona and Kafka… for about two days… then you have to work again…"
Fiona: "Okay, thank you…"
Kafka: "Thank you very much…"
Eisenhauer: "Fiona… your apartment is at Ludwigstrasse 42… third floor. Someone lives there whom I rented it to… an old woman, but she died, her granddaughter lives there now. I already spoke with her…"
Fiona: "Thank you…?"
Eisenhauer: "Where is Cossette?"
Fiona: "Waiting outside. I'll get going now…"
Eisenhauer: "Okay…"
Kafka: "I'll go too…"
They left the office.
Kafka: "Hah…"
Fiona: "Alright… see you later…"
Kafka: "Mhm…"
Fiona: "Cossette?"
Cossette: "Here I am…"
Cossette was looking at a painting. It was glass.
Fiona: "Okay… come…"
Cossette: "Where to?"
Fiona: "Ludwigstrasse 42…"
Cossette: "Okay…"
Kafka: "If you want, I can show you where it is…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "Hmm?"
Kafka: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Okay… thank you…"
He brought them to the street.
Kafka: "There it is…"
Fiona: "Thank you, Kafka…"
Kafka: "You're welcome… get some rest…"
Fiona: "Mhm, you too…"
Cossette: "Goodbye, beetle guy…"
Kafka: "Sweats… good… goodbye…"
They went on.
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Ludwigstrasse 42.
Fiona: "That must be it."
She opened the door.
Naomi: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Oh…"
Cossette: "Naomi?"
Fiona: "What are you doing here?"
Naomi: "I should ask you that…"
Naomi: "I live here… third floor…"
Cossette: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Oh… that's who he meant… Eisenhauer…"
Cossette: "Hmm…"
Naomi: "Oh right… nobody told me… wait a moment…"
She went upstairs to the phone.
Click
Eisenhauer: "Hello?"
Naomi: "Hello, Mr. Eisenhauer… you didn't tell me Fiona was coming…"
Eisenhauer: "Oh… I forgot, sorry… hehehe… could you please take care of her…"
Naomi: "No problem… but… are you sure?"
Eisenhauer: "No problem… be nice to them…"
Naomi: "I already know the two from Roselande…"
Eisenhauer: "Oh, what a coincidence… hehehe… well, that's good then… I have to go now… thank you… ouch… hot…"
The call ended.
Naomi went back downstairs where Cossette and Fiona were waiting.
Naomi: "Come in…"
Fiona: "Thank you…"
They went inside.
Naomi: "I didn't expect we'd share an apartment again…"
Fiona: "Sorry… if we bother you…"
Naomi: "Oh no… I'm very happy you're here… really… hehe… this is embarrassing, but I felt a bit lonely… I came here to visit my grandma and then found out she died… I guess I have no choice but to stay here for now… I don't want to go back to Roselande either…"
Fiona: "Mhm… I understand that…"
Cossette: "Growls… blushes… hungry…"
Naomi: "Hehehe… how cute… you're Cossette, right? No problem, I'm hungry too…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Naomi: "Are you hungry too, Fiona?"
Fiona: "Hmm… yes… I have to admit I haven't eaten in a long time…"
Naomi: "Good… then I'll cook…"
Fiona: "Ugh… wait…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Both got scared.
Naomi: "It won't take long…"
Fiona: "Sweats… not again…"
Cossette: "Fiona, if I die, I want my grave next to flowers, and if you die, your grave should be next to mine…"
Fiona: "Ugh… oh no…"
Thirty minutes later
Naomi: "The food is ready…"
She put it on the table.
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Naomi: "Is something wrong?"
Fiona: "No… enjoy your meal…"
Cossette: "Gulp… I won't die from this, right…"
They tried it.
Fiona: "Mmm!"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Naomi: "Hmm? Is something wrong?"
Fiona: "Delicious!"
Cossette: "It tastes great!"
They started eating more.
Naomi: "Hehehe… you like it? It's pasta with mushrooms and lobster…"
Fiona: "Mmm…"
Cossette: "Wow…"
Naomi: "Do you want something to drink too? I have orange juice and cherry juice…"
She brought the two juices and filled the glasses.
Fiona: "Thank you…"
Cossette: "Thank you very much…"
After eating, Cossette fell asleep.
Cossette: "Zzz… hahh…"
Naomi: "Cossette is really doing well."
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Naomi: "You're doing well too, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Mhm… yes… I'm fine… how about you… I mean… that must have been shocking… about your grandma…"
Naomi: "Yes… her last letter said I should continue her fashion designer job… it's not for models or actresses, just clothes… hats… pants… hehe… my grandma didn't like nobles…"
Fiona: "I see…"
Naomi: "I have to say, Weimar is peaceful at least… unlike Roselande…"
Fiona: "I don't know… Weimar has several black hole rifts…"
Naomi: "That's true… Nemesis appear here often… but that doesn't worry me… at least not like Roselande, where I only have memories that make me sad…"
Fiona: "I see…"
Naomi: "Listen… it's been some time since Arthur died… more than two years… the same goes for my mother… but still, because of my past work as a model and actress… I'm not sure if I still want to start a family…"
Fiona: "Hmm? Do you want that?"
Naomi: "Hehehe… children? Sure, I love children… being a mother is something wonderful… but I'm someone who wouldn't manage to be a mother… how would I tell my children that I used to drink so much, party, spend nights out, and work as a model showing a lot of skin…"
Fiona: "But you don't do that anymore…"
Naomi: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "How old are you actually… twenty two?"
Naomi: "Shakes her head… I turned twenty three a few days ago… hehe…"
Fiona: "I see…"
Naomi: "Is Remy already twenty two?"
Fiona: "I don't know, I haven't talked to him in a long time… why?"
Naomi: "I don't know… I always thought you two were really good together…"
Fiona: "Hmm? You think so?"
Naomi: "Do you miss him?"
Fiona: "No."
Naomi: "Oh come on… you don't always have to be like that…"
Fiona: "What… I don't miss him…"
Naomi: "Hmm?"
Finrow: "She's lying."
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Finrow shouted from the hat.
Naomi: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Ghhh… wait a moment…"
She took the hat and threw it on the floor.
Crash
Finrow: "Ow!"
Mr. Herold: "What a typical way to treat one's hat… what did I even do…"
They both came out.
Naomi: "Huh!"
Fiona: "Hahh… Naomi… these are Finrow and Mr. Herold. They are spirits or animals I made contracts with… as well as Crane…"
Crane appeared.
Crane: "Oh… you are the woman whose food almost killed us."
Mr. Herold: "Ugh… it was you…"
Naomi: "Hehehe… sorry…"
She scratched the back of her head.
Fiona: "My coat has a knight named Bob… but that doesn't matter. I wanted to show you so you wouldn't be scared. And you, Finrow, if you annoy me again, I'll make sure Naomi cooks you…"
Finrow: "Huh!"
Mr. Herold: "Yes, please… why not… an excellent idea. Please, if you do, don't kill him directly, or make sure he dies brutally… that would be very noble of you."
Finrow: "You're sick!"
Fiona: "I have to say, Mr. Herold, that was disturbing…"
Naomi: "Hehehe… I… I've never cooked a rabbit…"
Mr. Herold: "All the better… then you'll have fun doing it…"
Naomi: "Hehehe… I'm not so sure…"
Fiona: "Anyway, don't listen to Mr. Herold. He may look like a gentleman rabbit, but he's clumsier than you'd think…"
Mr. Herold: "What rudeness, I forbid this description… may I briefly use your bathroom?"
Naomi: "Hmm… okay, yes, go ahead, it's over there…"
Mr. Herold: "Thank you very much."
He went in.
Naomi: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Oh no…"
Finrow: "And… one… two… three…"
Mr. Herold: "Ugh… my stomach…"
Naomi: "Sweats… is he okay?"
Fiona: "Hahh… just ignore him, please…"
Mr. Herold: "Sniffs… oh… the soap smells like lemon… what a strange smell… I wonder if my butt will smell like lemon too…"
Fiona: "Sweats… Mr. Herold… maybe not so loud?"
Mr. Herold: "Sorry… oh… hhh… that feels good…"
Naomi: "Sweats…"
Finrow: "Will his fart smell like lemon too?"
Fiona: "No, Finrow, that's not how it works…"
Finrow: "Too bad… then he could just do it in the house…"
Fiona: "Finrow, change the topic please…"
Mr. Herold: "Sorry… the paper is empty…"
Fiona: "Naomi, I'm going to sleep. I'm a bit tired…"
Naomi: "Oh… me too…"
Fiona: "I'll sleep next to Cossette…"
Naomi: "Okay…"
Mr. Herold: "Hello? Does anyone hear me? There's no toilet paper left…"
Fiona: "Good, I'm going to sleep…"
Mr. Herold: "Hello!"
Naomi: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Where is the toilet paper?"
Naomi: "There, with the reindeer…"
Fiona: "Okay…"
She took it.
Mr. Herold: "Hello!"
Naomi: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Hahh…"
She threw it at him.
Crash
Mr. Herold: "Ow…"
Fiona: "Be quiet. Cossette and I want to sleep…"
Mr. Herold: "Okay…"
They went to sleep.
Cossette: "Hahh… zzz…"
Fiona: "Zzz…"
Naomi: "Hehehe… then I'll go to sleep too…"
She went to sleep in the other room.
Naomi: "Huh?"
Crash
Suddenly the window shattered.
Cossette: "Ugh?"
Fiona: "What's going on!"
She ran quickly to Naomi.
Fiona: "Naomi…"
Naomi: "Mmm…"
A strange figure stood in front of her, emerging from a black hole.
Fiona: "Huh… a rift…"
Cossette: "Huh!"
Nemesis: "Rooooaaaarrrrrrr!"
