In Eager Brünn, Sophie and Oliver are there… but Daisy is also on her way. Will Sophie and Oliver find out anything about the Moths or the House of the Cursed Children?
Daisy: "Huh… wow… it's fresh here."
Rosika: "Yes."
Daisy: "Not much longer, Oliver… hehe."
Rosika: "You're excited."
Daisy: "Of course. I'll see my cute little brother… hehe."
Meanwhile
Klarice: "Oh, you're back."
Sophie: "Hello… is the boy awake?"
Klarice: "I don't know… he didn't come out."
Sophie: "Okay… thanks."
She went upstairs.
Sophie: "Hmm."
She opened the door.
Sophie: "Huh?"
Oliver: "Mmm?…"
He was eating.
Oliver: "Mmm?"
Sophie: "Ugh… (so… so… so cute!!!)… (cough)… you're awake."
Oliver: "Sophie!"
He stood up and ran to her, hugging her.
Sophie: "Hey… hey… damn it, don't hug me like that when your mouth isn't clean."
Oliver: "Why did you just leave me like that!!"
Sophie: "Ugh… hhhhh… I… I didn't want… to wake you up…"
Oliver: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Uh… I mean… not because I was worried about you, of course!!! I… um… I just didn't want you sleeping during work… exactly… that's why…"
Oliver: "Huh… oh… okay…"
Sophie: "Huh… can you let go of me now and stop hugging?"
Oliver: "Oh… sorry…"
He stepped back a little.
Oliver: "I was just… worried… sorry."
Sophie: "Ugh… mmm… no… it's fine… it's okay."
She walked past him, placed her hand on his head, and continued.
Oliver: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Hmm… I met someone… in Skova… a blind woman who can barely walk… but… when I was with her… I felt a strong curse power."
Oliver: "Oh, she's a Cursed."
Sophie: "Of course… that's how it is in Skova… my little one…"
She let her hair down. Normally she has long hair but keeps it tied.
Oliver: "Oh… I see."
Sophie: "Hmm… haahhhh… I think this is more complicated than I thought…"
Oliver: "Hmm…"
She lay down on the chair and placed a book there. A book about Eager Brünn and the Cursed titled Eager Brünn and the Cursed by Ricarda Hans.
Oliver: "Hmm…"
Sophie: "Hahhh…"
Rustle
Oliver: "Huh…"
Sophie fell asleep. After all, she hadn't slept for almost two days. Oliver looked at her. He took a chair and a blanket, stepped onto the chair to reach her, and placed the blanket over her back.
Oliver: "Hehe… Sophie, I'm glad you're finally resting…"
He went to the bed and picked up a fantasy book called Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
Oliver: "(hums softly)…"
Sophie: "(cough)… (cough)…"
Oliver: "Sophie really coughs a lot when she sleeps… she's always so exhausted…"
Meanwhile
Ulita: "Hahhh… Manja, what do you think of Sophie?"
Manja: "Miss Huber, you should be careful of her. She belongs to the Dark Umbrella… she has the umbrella symbol."
Ulita: "Do you think I didn't notice? The moth… the one that attacked her… its scent was still there… hehe… that's how I knew."
Manja: "What do we do now?"
Ulita: "Mr. Hehn am Heim ordered me to get rid of her… and we belong to the Moths after all… so for now we are allies… I already have an idea how to get rid of her… though I would rather not kill her… she was nice to me…"
She went to her paintings. She painted a rabbit with a large sword, spider legs growing from its back.
Ulita: "Hahhh… now we wait until evening… I'll give it the moth's scent… and then it will find her…"
Manja: "Hmm…"
Ulita: "Hmm…"
She looked serious.
Ulita: "I finally want to have a family…"
Manja: "Hmm… but you should be careful, Miss Ulita… don't trust Hehn am Heim too much…"
Ulita: "He has been very kind to me so far."
Manja: "Sophie was kind too. Does that mean we should trust her?"
Ulita: "Hehehe… you misunderstand. I don't hate Sophie, even if she works for the Dark Umbrella… just because I want to kill her doesn't mean I hate her… I do it for the Moth… nothing more."
Meanwhile
Ms Valentine: "Hmm… Tom Fog is on his way… so I'm not too worried about that… the problem is that his mission was very far away and he might need at least a week to get there… I don't know if it's really good… but if he goes by ship he'll hopefully arrive… after all… he wasn't given the title Van Hellsing for nothing… he himself is a half vampire… he is the son of Carmilia… the most powerful vampire after Dracula…"
Meanwhile
Oliver: "(hums)…"
Sophie: "Hhhhhhh… hhhh… hhhh… huh?…"
She opened her eyes.
Oliver: "(hums)… huh? You're awake?"
Sophie: "Huh… I fell asleep… how long?"
Oliver: "Only about 30 minutes."
Sophie: "Hahhh… I see… (yawns lightly)… then I'll go to the sofa… I'm dead tired."
Oliver: "Why the sofa? Sleep in the bed… I'll sleep on the sofa."
Sophie: "Exactly… so people can say, ohhh, she made a child sleep on the sofa while she lay in the comfortable bed."
Oliver: "Then we just sleep in the same bed."
Sophie: "What? No… forget it."
Oliver: "But why?… do you dislike me that much?"
Sophie: "Ughh…"
Oliver: "Mmm…"
She brushed her own hair and thought.
Oliver: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Listen, Oliver… it's not like that… no…"
She sat next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
Oliver: "Huh?"
Sophie: "But you shouldn't trust me too much…"
Oliver: "Why?"
Sophie: "Well… people might not like you for it… you know, I'm not very popular… when I was young… I did a lot of mean things… to your sister and Fiona… and others like Parzival… or other students…"
Oliver: "But you were just a young girl back then…"
Sophie: "Yes… but still…"
Oliver: "Miss Sophie… they wanted to put me with normal agents… where many end up doing nothing… or even dying when sent on dangerous missions… you were my only hope to become a detective… everyone thought you would reject me… I thought so too…"
Memory
Dark Umbrella member: "Poor Oliver… will he just stay here? Work in research or be sent to the Dark Umbrella police?"
Another member: "I heard Sophie is still free… but that won't work, she would never take care of him… she's a terrible woman…"
A few minutes later
Lady Natasha: "Hey, Sophie… how about you take this one… his name is Oliver… he's only six years old… would you take him?"
Oliver: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Oliver trembled and blushed.
Sophie: "Hahhhh… yes… I'll take him."
Oliver: "Huh!… hahhhh… (blushes)…"
His eyes sparkled brightly as he looked at her with admiration.
Sophie: "Pack your things and come with me."
Oliver: "Y… yes…"
End of memory
Oliver: "Thanks to you, I can fulfill my dream of becoming a detective."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Oliver: "Hehe… thank you very much."
Sophie: "Huh…"
Oliver: "But… if you don't want us to be close…"
Sophie: "Hmm… no, Oliver… I like taking care of you… it's just that I wasn't really like that before… I wasn't someone who cared about others… but if that's the case… then it's not a bad thing…"
They turned off the light. They were in the same bed but far apart. The bed was big enough for four people.
Oliver: "Hahhhh… (zzz)"
Sophie: "Hmm… huh… already asleep… hmm…"
Oliver: "(snores)…"
Sophie: "For someone so cute… he snores pretty loud… hhhh… (zzz)…"
She fell asleep.
A few minutes later
Oliver: "Hh…"
Sophie: "Hmm?… ughh…"
Suddenly he was next to her… very close. Whether he did it on purpose or just in his sleep… Oliver slept deeply… and Sophie just looked at him. Then she smiled slightly… pulled him closer and hugged him in her sleep.
Oliver: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Nothing I can do… he's just too cute, this child…"
She gently stroked his head.
Suddenly
Sophie: "Huh… what was that?"
She stood up and went downstairs.
Sophie: "Klarice… Klarice?!"
She continued downstairs.
Splash
Smack… smack…
Sophie: "What…"
A person lay on the floor… and next to her… a figure… chewing the whole time.
Sophie: "Klarice… ughh huh!!"
Klarice lay on the ground… and a rabbit… was tearing her apart.
Smack… smack…
Sophie: "Ughh… hahhh…"
She stepped back slightly.
Sophie: "Calm… calm… calm…"
Klarice: "He… help… me…"
Sophie: "Huh… she's alive… (ugh… that's none of my business…)…"
Klarice: "Please…"
Sophie: "Ghhhh… no… no… stay calm… hey… you there… you freak!!"
The rabbit stopped eating Klarice's arm and looked at Sophie.
Sophie: "Damn… well… now I can't run anymore… hold on, Klarice…"
The rabbit had spider legs.
Sophie: "I have no idea what kind of creature this is… unlike the Moth Fairy, I've never seen something like this!"
It ran toward her, but before it could do anything, Oliver appeared.
Oliver: "Sophie!"
Sophie: "Oliver, no!"
Oliver: "Huh!"
Sophie: "No!"
The rabbit charged at Oliver, but Oliver looked serious.
Oliver: "Ghhhh… Moth Fairy!!!"
From the dark shadow, a Moth Fairy appeared.
Moth Fairy: "Hahhhhh…"
Oliver: "Finish this beast!"
They clashed. Both were strong.
Oliver: "Hahhh…"
Sophie: "Hahh… Oliver, are you okay?"
Oliver: "Yes."
Sophie: "Where did you get that Moth Fairy?"
Oliver: "When I killed it… I gave a part to Sebastian… that's how she…"
Splash
Rabbit: "Aaaaaaarghhhh…"
It fell dead to the floor.
Moth Fairy: "Hmm…"
Oliver: "Good job… Mita…"
She came to him and he stroked her head.
Oliver: "Good… good… good girl… hehe."
He hugged her.
Sophie: "Ugh, it's a moth…"
Oliver: "Shouldn't we check if the woman is okay?"
Sophie: "Oh yes… you're right."
They hurried downstairs.
Klarice: "Ughh… hahhhh… hhhhh…"
Sophie: "Klarice… are you okay?"
Klarice: "Hahhh… it hurts so much… it hurts…"
Sophie: "Ugh… he bit off part of her body… Oliver, do you have a monster that can heal?"
Oliver: "Not really…"
Mita: "Fff… fff."
Oliver: "Huh? Oh… can you heal?"
She nodded.
Oliver: "Then do it."
She let a drop of liquid fall onto the wound. The wound healed.
Klarice: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Are you okay?"
Klarice: "Yes… yes… what… is that… a moth?"
Oliver: "Hey, she saved your life. Thank her instead of being scared."
Klarice: "Oh… sorry… but what was that rabbit?"
Sophie: "How did it happen?"
Klarice: "I don't know… suddenly the door broke and when I turned around, it was already biting me."
Sophie: "I see… good that you're okay… really good."
Klarice: "Thank you… truly thank you…"
While they wondered where the rabbit came from, Hehn am Heim made his move. But what exactly does he plan with Ulita?
Ulita: "Hmm…"
Hehn am Heim: "Hello, Miss Ulita…"
Ulita: "Um… Mr. Hehn am Heim… you said you would find someone to marry me… where is he?"
Hehn am Heim: "He stands before you."
Ulita: "Huh?"
Hehn am Heim: "Me, of course… Miss Ulita… I will marry you."
Ulita: "Ugh… but you are much older than me…"
Hehn am Heim: "Not that much… I'm 50 years old."
Ulita: "And I'm 25… that's half… I'm sorry, Mr. Hehn am Heim… this time I'm the one who refuses… I want someone younger than me or slightly older… at least 20 and at most 34 years old."
Hehn am Heim: "Hmm… I see… worth a try."
Ulita: "But… wait… I'm sorry…"
Hehn am Heim: "Miss Ulita… you will never find someone willing to marry you… let's be honest… are you sure? Is it better to have no one… or to have me?"
Ulita: "Uh…"
Hehn am Heim: "Do you want to be alone and lonely forever?… or do you want me?"
Ulita: "Mmm…"
Hehn am Heim: "I understand loneliness… I have no wife… no children… it's an opportunity for both of us, isn't it?"
Ulita: "But… hmm… can I think about it?"
Hehn am Heim: "Of course… take your time… I am a gentleman… I would never force a woman to marry me… hehe…"
Ulita: "Huh!"
Hehn am Heim: "Hmm? What is it?"
Ulita: "The rabbit was defeated…"
Hehn am Heim: "Rabbit?"
Ulita: "Oh… a monster that looks like a rabbit… I sent it to the Dark Umbrella… but I underestimated them… I need time for my paintings… it must be a monster that is truly strong… do you have suggestions?"
Hehn am Heim: "How about… a bat?"
Ulita: "Oh… good idea."
She went to her paper.
Ulita: "A bat… wings with eyes… the eyes cause severe headaches… its feet are like a normal bat… it should be about two meters tall… very fast and very strong… its ability is to cause pain through its scream… hahaha… how about that?"
Hehn am Heim: "An excellent idea."
Ulita: "Hehehe…"
Hehn am Heim: "And if that doesn't work?"
Ulita: "Then I'll use my painting… the Tower Guardian… it's very strong and dangerous… but if it must be…"
Meanwhile
Splash
Zantanel: "Tea… what…"
Hensson: "Yes…"
Zantanel: "Quite romantic… after everything…"
Hensson: "Hehehe… are you pleased?"
Zantanel: "I must say… I'm surprised… it's my first time… it doesn't feel that bad…"
Hensson: "That's good, but I mean… did you enjoy it?"
Zantanel: "Hmm…"
She wore a night robe.
Zantanel: "Don't misunderstand… this was only a test out of pure interest because you're immune to my curse… because you are a Cursed… it works with every Cursed, not just you… and I must say… you are clumsy."
Hensson: "Ugh… that's mean…"
She stood up.
Zantanel: "Hahhh… perhaps it is overrated after all…"
Hensson: "Hahhh… well…"
Zantanel: "Say… you've known Ulita for a while… do you think she can help us?"
Hensson: "Ulita… what a poor girl… she was treated terribly… no wonder she is like this… but to be honest… her ability is very interesting… not only can the animals or monsters she paints move for a few hours… she even decides through the painting what they are… for example, if she paints a gun for the monster, it can use it."
Zantanel: "Interesting… does she have a weakness?"
Hensson: "Yes… water… or destroy the painting… and poof, it's gone…"
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Hahh…"
Oliver: "Good that Klarice is okay."
Sophie: "I have a bad feeling… listen, Oliver… you go sleep, I'll stay awake… just in case."
Oliver: "But you're tired… the moth can keep watch… right, Mita?"
Mita: "Hhhh…"
Buzz
Oliver: "Hehe… she agrees."
Sophie: "Well… if you say so… huh?"
They heard something.
Crash
Half the wall broke. A creature appeared. It was a bat.
Bat: "Roaaaaaarrrrr!"
The scream was so loud they held their heads.
Sophie: "Aaaaarghhhh!"
Oliver: "It hurts… damn it!"
Bat: "Roaaaarrr!"
The moth tried to attack but it dodged and bit off her head.
Splash
Oliver: "Mita!"
Sophie: "Ghhhh… hhhhh…"
The eyes on its wings opened.
Gulp
Bat: "Roarrrrr…"
Meanwhile
Tom Fog: "Hmm… this might take a while…"
He was in a boat alone, in the middle of several icebergs.
Tom Fog: "Yawns… probably will take a while until I get there… hehe… I'll lie down and rest…"
He lay down in the boat. Even though beneath him were many Ningen. But even if they attacked him, they had no chance… and they knew it. That's how it is when you're called Van Hellsing.
Tom Fog: "Yawns… just a matter of time… I hope I make it in less than a week… who knows… maybe they'll solve it without my help… that would be good… what would Daisy say… Easy Daisy, Daisy easy… hahaha… she was such a strange bird… I can't wait to see my former students Fiona and Daisy again… let's see what they can do… Daisy is strong and Fiona may not be as strong… but she is very smart… hehe… I'm very curious how those two are doing… maybe I'll even see that girl Cossette everyone talks about, the one who helped Fiona…end well Daisy will be there too
