Now that everything had been taken care of, Celia had actually booked a vacation for Lily Moon in a large house located deep in the middle of the forest.
Sophie: "Woohoo!"
Rosika: "Yeah!"
Fiona: "Good grief... Do you two really have to scream? And why do I have to come along?"
Sophie: "Huh? So we can relax."
Fiona: "I already had two days of rest."
Sophie: "That's not enough. We get to stay here for a whole week."
Siegfried: "This is going to be awesome."
Violet: "Right, Lina?"
Lina: "Yeah."
Meliodas: "And what are we going to do about food?"
Sophie: "Celia said there's a village nearby. It has two stores."
(Meanwhile)
Noe: "You got the heart... but after you found out she had more than one, why didn't you take the others? We could have earned much more money."
The Joker: "Master, I'm sorry, but that really wasn't possible. She woke up right afterward."
Noe: "Joker... and The Finger... At least you brought back one heart. That's acceptable. But... it still isn't enough. So I want you to complete another mission for me."
The Finger: "What would you have us do, my lord?"
The Joker: "As you wish, Master. May I ask what the mission is?"
Noe: "I want... the two of you to go to the Basque Kingdom."
The Finger: "Hmm?"
The Joker: "Huh?"
The two looked at each other.
Noe: "You'll receive more information... once you arrive there. Oh, and before you get there, you must find a certain cassette. It contains the final recordings of the late Serold noble family. I want you to find it before heading there. That's part of your mission as well. Feel free to take valuable property too. The more money, the better."
The Joker: "Yes, sir."
The Finger: "Understood."
They left.
The Finger: "Hmm... What do you think he wants in the Basque Kingdom?"
The Joker: "No idea... but I have a feeling it'll be important. By the way... he wants us to investigate the Serold family's mansion. Isn't that the noble family that was murdered?"
The Finger: "Yes... It reminds me of the Weimar case."
The Joker: "The Hinterkaifeck one... Yeah... I remember. But that was just an ordinary family, so we didn't find anything important. Though we did find the murder weapon and sold it for a fortune."
The Finger: "Humans really are crazy about the things they buy... I mean, a weapon that was used to murder someone."
The Joker: "That's just how it is. We work in that kind of business. As long as I get paid and have some fun... it's worth it."
The Finger: "So first we have to return to Villicia."
The Joker: "Oh yes... I hope I get to see Sophie and Fiona again. I've missed them... Hehehe."
(Meanwhile)
Sophie: "Aaaghhhh... This is so relaxing... Hehehe."
Fiona: "Hmm..."
Sophie: "Oh, come on, Fiona... Put your feet in the water."
Fiona: "Hah... This is a lake."
Sophie: "I don't care. If you can swim in it, it's a swimming pool to me. Hehe. Come on."
Fiona: "Alright... Wait, let me take off my shoes."
She did so and placed her feet into the water.
Sophie: "Warm, isn't it?"
Fiona: "Yeah."
Sophie: "Where is everyone else?"
Fiona: "Well... Lina is cooking. Siegfried and Rosika went shopping... not just for food."
Sophie: "Oh right... I hope they bought the movies I wanted."
Fiona: "I doubt it. Food and clothes... movies? If you want, we can go together later."
Sophie: "Oh yeah... That works too. After we eat. I'm starving."
Fiona: "Me too."
Sophie: "Oh... and Violet?"
Fiona: "If I remember correctly, she's taking a shower."
Sophie: "Oh, okay... Hehe... Have you gotten enough rest?"
Fiona: "Hmm?... You mean while you handled the werewolf situation? Yeah... Thanks."
Sophie: "Hehe... See? I took care of it... even though I'm no longer a Crow."
Fiona: "Keep it up... Maybe the people at Dark Umbrella will finally notice."
Sophie: "Yeah... Oh... I'd really love some ice cream."
She stood up and returned with two ice creams.
Sophie: "Here. Catch."
Fiona: "Ugh..."
She caught it.
Fiona: "Thanks."
Sophie: "You're welcome."
She sat back down and put her feet into the water. Sophie was wearing a white T shirt, while Fiona wore a brown one.
Sophie: "Hehe... You're wearing brown. That's rare for one of your shirts."
Fiona: "Huh?... Doesn't it look good? I bought it."
Sophie: "Ugh... Wait a second. That reminds me. Why aren't Cossette and Melina here?"
Fiona: "The two of them aren't allowed to take a vacation. They're studying for work. I didn't want to disturb them. Even on weekends, they still have to study."
Sophie: "I see... Hey, Oliver!"
She called out.
Oliver: "Yeah?"
Suspenders: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "You two can go play games if you want. Your consoles are on the table."
Oliver: "Ugh... Thanks."
Suspenders: "Yes, ma'am."
They ran off.
Fiona: "You're kind of like a mother to those two."
Sophie: "Hehehe... Kids need room to breathe, don't they?"
Fiona: "Mhm... Maybe."
Sophie: "Hahh... Finally, some peace. Hey Fiona... I have a question."
Fiona: "Yeah?"
Sophie: "What do you think about opening a business?"
Fiona: "A business?"
Sophie: "Yeah. I asked the Master. Apparently, we're actually allowed to own a shop while working for Dark Umbrella. What do you think?"
Fiona: "And... what would be the point? I mean... what would it do for us?"
Sophie: "Well... Money."
Fiona: "True."
Sophie: "Let's be honest. Our salary isn't enough. We risk our lives all the time, and eight thousand Coil really isn't much. So... how about opening a business?"
Fiona: "And... what kind?"
Sophie: "Oh... How about a café?"
Fiona: "Hmm... A café?... Yeah..."
Sophie: "Yeah, hehe. We could sell sandwiches, cookies, coffee, hot chocolate... maybe even ice cream."
Fiona: "Yeah... That could work."
The two of them slowly ate their ice cream.
Sophie: "Mmm... So cold... I've been waiting for this for so long."
Fiona: "Hehe... You're acting like a child."
Sophie: "Hehe... So are you. Silly. You're eating your ice cream wrong. Use your tongue, not your whole mouth."
Fiona: "Yeah... but... it looks weird."
Sophie: "Huh?... Oh no... Don't tell me you read that magazine from Siegfried too."
Fiona: "You did too?!"
Sophie: "Ugh... Now I'd rather keep eating it with my mouth. Who even reads stuff like that? The magazine was actually called Ice Kisses."
Fiona: "That wasn't a kiss... They were kissing while rubbing the ice cream all over their bod... never mind..."
Sophie: "Yeah... Never mind... I still remember the scene where that guy ate so much ice cream that the woman thought he was made of ice cream and then..."
Fiona: "Sophie. We're eating."
Sophie: "Sorry."
Fiona: "Seriously... And he wonders why he's still single."
Sophie: "Well... To be fair, Rosalie gave him that magazine as a gift. I heard him screaming one night... 'Oh... holy crap... that's too much!' Then he threw the magazine out the window. So we actually read it before he did. Why did you even read it?"
Fiona: "It was sitting on the same shelf as the regular books. How was I supposed to know someone put an erotic magazine there?"
Sophie: "Oh. When I found it, it was lying on the sofa. Was that you?"
Fiona: "No. I threw it away."
Sophie: "Oh no... Someone else must have picked it up..."
Rosika: "Hello."
Siegfried: "We're back."
Both Sophie and Fiona stared at him coldly.
Siegfried: "Huh?"
Sophie: "You and your magazines."
Siegfried: "You read it?"
Rosika: "Huh?... Stop it. I actually feel a little sorry for Siegfried."
Sophie: "Oh yeah? Look at this!"
She held the magazine up.
Rosika: "Well... I'm blind, remember? It just sounded like paper. But I assume you're talking about what's inside."
Sophie: "Right... Lucky you. Being blind is actually an advantage in this case."
Rosika: "Hmm..."
Violet: "Hey, Rosika. I'm done showering. Want to go next?"
Rosika: "Sure! Hehe."
She ran off. Violet watched her. She was wearing a tank top and knee length shorts.
Violet: "Hey..."
Siegfried: "Here are your chips."
Violet: "Thanks. Thank you."
Sophie: "Hey, Fiona. Want to take a walk in the forest with me?"
Fiona: "Hmm."
She still had the ice cream in her mouth.
Fiona: "Mmm?... Mmm... Sure."
She pulled it out of her mouth.
Fiona: "Why not?"
Sophie: "Hehe... We've really become close friends."
Siegfried: "Man... It'd be nice if you two just became a yuri couple."
Both of them looked at him.
Sophie: "Why are you even here? Get lost with your yuri nonsense."
Fiona: "Seriously, just leave already. If you're going to say things like that, get lost. Let me put it in your own slang... Yo... get the hell out before I smack you."
Sophie: "Pfff... Hahahahaha... Hahaha... Oh... that... was good. Fiona, let me try. Ahem... Yo, bro... it'd be really nice if you'd shut your mouth... uh... oh, screw you... you son of a bitch."
Fiona: "(Sweats)... She... kind of overdid it."
Siegfried simply stared at her.
Siegfried: "(Sweats)... Okay... I'll go."
He walked away.
Siegfried: "Oh, by the way... Nice feet."
Sophie: "Ugh... You idiot! Stop looking at my feet!"
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Seriously."
Siegfried: "Yours too, Fiona."
Fiona: "Thank you very much."
Sophie: "Huh? Are you stupid? Do you realize he was staring at your feet too?"
Fiona: "So what?"
Sophie: "Oh, Fiona..."
Fiona: "They're just feet. What kind of thoughts could he possibly have?"
Sophie showed her the magazine. It was open to a scene where someone had taken pictures of a woman's feet.
Fiona: "Oh..."
Sophie: "Wait a minute... What if he took pictures..."
She sprinted away as fast as a car.
(Crash!)
Siegfried: "Aaaaaaargh!"
Sophie: "Hahaha! Got you! Hand it over!"
Siegfried: "What?"
Sophie: "The photos!"
Siegfried: "I don't have any... I don't have any of your feet."
Sophie: "Oh."
Siegfried: "But I do have some of your butt."
Sophie: "What?!"
(Crash! Crash!)
More crashing sounds echoed through the area.
Fiona: "(Sweats)... Good grief..."
She finished her ice cream.
Fiona: "Mmm... Delicious."
Siegfried: "Aaaaaaargh!"
(Weee!)
He landed in the lake.
(Splash!)
Siegfried: "...Why is she so strong?... Oh... I still have the photos."
Fiona: "(Sweats)... Um..."
Sophie: "Give them to me!"
She jumped on him.
Siegfried: "Argh... Bbbbbbb..."
His hand emerged from the water, still holding the camera.
Sophie: "Aha. There it is."
She took it and let him go.
Sophie: "...Hmm... Oh... He even took a picture of you, Fiona."
Fiona: "What?!"
Sophie: "You perverted asshole!"
Siegfried: "Uh... uh..."
He slowly started swimming away.
Sophie: "He's getting away."
Fiona: "Quick. Hand me my walking stick."
Siegfried: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Here."
She was about to throw it when Rosika appeared.
Rosika: "I'm done showering... Um... Siegfried, you smell wet. Did someone throw you into the water?"
Sophie: " She showers fast."
Fiona: "Yeah."
Rosika: "Hmm."
She was wearing a tank top and knee-length shorts.
Rosika: "So... what are you all doing?"
Sophie: "We're going into the forest."
Rosika: "Oh... Can I come too?"
Sophie: "Of course."
Fiona: "Yeah. But take your pistol with you, just in case. Who knows what might be lurking out there."
Sophie: "Already got mine."
Fiona: "I'll go get mine."
Sophie: "Alright."
