Chapter 215 - Chapter 112 Part 1 Jose

The Joker suddenly appeared, and she seemed to know something about the Wolves of Wrath.

The Joker: From the looks of it... something happened. Hmm... let me guess. The Wolves of Wrath? And when you talk, don't do it so loudly that people can hear you through the window."

Sophie: "Oops... my bad."

Sophie Talks Sometimes really loud, so sometimes it is annoying. But Joker and Fiona Don't really care because they find her voice beautiful 

Fiona: "It's fine."

Sophie: "Hmm... what do you mean you can help us?"

The Joker: "Well... because... we know them. Very well, actually. Just like us... they used to belong to the Dark Officers along with the Hunters."

Sophie: "Ugh..."

The Joker: "They simply... chose a different path."

Sophie: "I see."

The Joker: "Well then... The Finger did a few investigations. I don't know this Daisy, but you do. What he found out is that, under her name, an entire family, their maids, their butlers, and even the child were murdered."

Fiona: "What? Daisy would never kill a child."

Sophie: "Never!"

or ...Maybe?..Maybe she Changes That much?....Both are scared of That Because Daisy was a Good Person 

Marcus: "Hmm... Are you sure? Considering... how she's been acting lately?"

Fiona: "Ghh... That... idiot..."

Sophie: "Yeah, great... Hahh... Okay, continue."

The Joker: "Well, this Jose... is truly ridiculous. Arrogant... Not only was he incredibly easy to read, but he doesn't even bother hiding anything. Here."

She handed Sophie some papers.

Sophie: "Hmm... It says... 'I will become the new Master of Dark Umbrella. But first... I must get rid of certain people who aren't on my side, whether through murder or kidnapping. I will restore Dark Umbrella to its former glory. First I have to get rid of these Crows. Marcus is target number one... then Fiona... then Rio and Colletta, the new Crows. Daisy is on my side. That's good...' This isn't even a document."

The Joker: "Yeah... but the one underneath is."

Sophie: "Oh... okay."

She picked it up.

Sophie: "'Mission... Done...' What kind of title is that...? Daisy Williams was sent to kill a certain family in Weimar. I tricked her and told her they were traitors. I wanted to test her. She definitely didn't kill the child. I know that much. I'm sure she wouldn't go that far. Hehe... It doesn't matter. My people took care of that. She had a finger... but it looked old, not like the fresh finger of a child. Anyway... she's on my side. I'll use her. She used to be my daughter Emilia's best friend. Marcus and Fiona... I want them gone. Marcus broke up with Emilia, a former agent. This mission exists so he gets into trouble, just like Fiona, who used to be Emilia's best friend. This document shows exactly what I plan to do afterward... create my own group... Project New Home... That's what I'll call it... Okay... first of all... this isn't how you write a document, is it?"

Fiona: "Maybe they're just notes... Wait a second... Marcus... you were dating Emilia?"

Marcus sighed.

Marcus: "Yeah... I was."

Sophie: "What...? With her...? Were you together for long?"

Marcus: "About four... but really only four years."

Sophie: "...Ugh... okay... did you two..."

Fiona: "Why does that matter right now?"

The Joker: "Oh, Sophie... hehe... Want to know what it's like?"

Marcus: "Hahh... Yeah... We were together. Emilia used to be a good woman."

Fiona: "I agree. Something changed her."

Marcus: "Yeah. She was kind... looked after children... and she didn't even have that cruel personality. And yes... we were secretly dating. It was shortly after I graduated from spy training."

Sophie: "...I see... So what changed her?"

Marcus: "She started getting angry when Daisy and Fiona became Crows. That upset her. But what made her even angrier was when Sophie became a Crow. Daisy and Fiona becoming Crows wasn't surprising. First, they had both been students of Tom Fog. Second, Daisy was considered extremely talented because of her strength, while Fiona was known for her intelligence. Third, they had both been in the same class under Meliodas. Sophie becoming a Crow... that surprised her."

Sophie: "Oh... I see... If she'd just held on a little longer, she'd probably be a Crow now. I'm not even a Crow anymore."

Marcus: "Anyway... Eventually she started complaining. 'Sophie is a bitch... Fiona is boring... Daisy is an arrogant woman...' Things like that. I tried to calm her down, but it didn't work. Whenever she got angry, she only wanted one thing. I don't have to explain what."

Sophie: "Ighh... Did you?"

Marcus: "No. I refused. Eventually she got angry at me too. She said I didn't love her enough... and maybe she was right."

Fiona: "Now that I think about it... it's understandable in a way. She was actually more talented than Daisy, Sophie, and me. Ms. Valentine just refused to choose her because she hated Jose."

Sophie: "I have to say... that's unfair. Just because her father was awful doesn't mean his daughter should be treated like that. Honestly... I can understand why she became so angry."

Fiona: "Yeah... Thinking about it now... I think anyone would have."

Marcus: "It doesn't matter anymore. I don't want to talk about her anymore. Let's leave the dead out of this."

Oliver: "Umm... Sophie..."

Sophie: "Yes, Oliver?... Oh, sorry. It must've been unpleasant for you. She pushed you down the stairs back then."

Oliver: "Well... yeah, that's true... but..."

The Joker: "Back to the point. I helped you. So how about this... I'll deal with the Wolves of Wrath... and you deal with this Jose?"

Sophie: "The problem is... we still need more evidence."

Oliver: "Huh... Maybe my sister can help us."

Fiona: "Hmm? Daisy is on his side... But he's right. Maybe we can get something out of her. But how are we supposed to talk to her when she isn't in Villicia? That could take a long time. By then Jose will already have gotten to us."

Sophie: "Yeah... he's right on our heels."

Fiona: "Sophie... watch your language. There's still a child here."

Sophie: "Oh, Oliver isn't a kid anymore."

Fiona: "If you say so."

Oliver: "...Mmm... If I want to see her... she'll come quickly. I'm sure of it."

Sophie: "Hmm... Daisy has changed... but there's probably still one thing she can't ignore. Oliver... her little brother."

Fiona: "Alright. It's worth a try. Can you call her? There's a telephone over there."

Oliver: "I'm too short."

Fiona: "Come on, I'll help you."

She lifted him up. Oliver was thirteen years old, but only 145 centimeters tall.

Oliver: "Mmm."

Fiona: "No need to blush."

She picked up the telephone and dialed the number.

(Beep... Beep... Beep...)

Fiona: "Hmm?... Did she change her number?"

Oliver: "I know another number. Only Sophie and I know it."

Fiona: "Oh, then I'll look away."

Oliver: "You don't have to."

Fiona: "It's okay. I'll just look at... umm..."

The Joker: "Look at me."

Fiona: "(Sweating)... Hey... don't get so close."

Oliver: "Hello?"

The Joker: "That was quick."

Fiona: "She answered fast."

Oliver: "Big sis."

Daisy: "What is it, Oliver?"

Sophie: "Her voice..."

Oliver: "I want... to talk to you. Can you come to Villicia?"

Daisy: "Is it necessary?"

Oliver: "Yes."

Daisy: "Hahh... Oliver, I'm busy."

Oliver: "But..."

Daisy: "Fine... Just move away for a second."

They stepped back.

The Joker: "Huh?"

A mass of plants suddenly emerged from the holes in the telephone.

The Joker: "Ugh..."

More and more plants came out until they formed a human body.

Daisy: "There. I'm here. Hmm?... Hmph... Well now... Sophie and Fiona."

Fiona: "(Sweating)... Umm... Sophie... I didn't know she could do that."

Sophie: "Neither... did I... And by the way... you look awful, Daisy."

Daisy: "Hmph... What do you want?"

Fiona gently set Oliver back down.

Fiona: "We want to talk."

Daisy: "About what?"

Fiona: "About Jose."

Daisy: "Hmph... There's nothing to talk about. I work for him."

Sophie: "Why? Doesn't he know you killed his daughter?"

Daisy: "Mmm... No."

Fiona: "If he finds out... that's going to be a problem. What the hell happened to you? Tom Fog is dead, and you're acting like it's the end of your world."

Daisy: "Hmph..."

Oliver: "Hmm... Big sis... there's something you need to know... Emilia... wasn't the one who pushed me."

He said it just before Daisy was about to leave.

Daisy: "Ugh..."

She slowly turned around.

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Oliver: "...It wasn't her. It wasn't... anyone. I tripped, and she caught me... But... people already disliked her... so... they lied to you."

Daisy: "Ugh..."

Sophie: "What?"

Marcus: "I knew it... Emilia would never do something that stupid."

Fiona: "And you killed her, Daisy..."

Daisy: "Ugh... Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Oliver: "I did... but you didn't listen. You were so angry... at her... that you just walked away."

Daisy: "Ugh... Does that mean... I killed the person who saved my little brother?"

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Sophie: "By the way, Daisy, I recorded all of this. If you don't help us with this matter... I'll send it to Ms. Valentine. If they find out you killed Emilia... you'll be thrown out... or maybe even executed."

Oliver: "What!?... You never told me that."

Fiona: "Hmm? Execution is an exaggeration... but you'd definitely be punished, Daisy."

Daisy: "So you're threatening me."

Fiona: "Call it whatever you want. A threat... or a deal."

Daisy: "Mmmm... Hahhhh... Then call Ms. Sonda."

Fiona: "Rosalie?"

Daisy: "Yeah... She'll tell you everything. I have nothing else to say."

Sophie: "Okay... here."

She tossed over the recording.

Daisy: "Hey... What... there's nothing on it."

Sophie: "I lied. Did you really think I'd threaten my student's sister right in front of him?"

Daisy: "Hmph... Why... why did Emilia catch you... Oliver?"

Oliver: "I don't know."

(A few years ago)

Oliver: "Mmm... I have to get to class."

(Thud)

He stumbled.

Oliver: "Ugh... No..."

(Thud)

Oliver: "Mmm..."

His eyes were closed, but then he slowly opened them.

Emilia: "Hey... little guy... are you okay?"

Oliver: "Huh?"

A woman with long black hair was carrying him in her arms.

Emilia: "Good grief... You're Daisy's little brother, Oliver... right?"

She gently set him down.

Emilia: "Hahhh... Here are your things."

Oliver: "Thank you very... ugh."

She had already started walking away.

Emilia: "Yeah... Yeah... Whatever."

Oliver: "Oh..."

(End of the memory)

Daisy: "Hmm... I see..."

Sophie: "It's not your fault, Daisy... Well... you shouldn't kill someone over a shove anyway... but everyone else lied to you."

Marcus: "Hahh..."

Fiona: "I think I owe her a visit to her grave."

Sophie: "Yeah..."

Marcus: "After she died... I read something in her diary. She secretly suffered terribly because of that mission where several children died... and ever since then, she'd been donating her salary to orphanages."

Sophie: "Why didn't she tell anyone?"

Fiona: "Can you really blame her? She was hated simply because she was Jose's daughter. No matter what she did, it would've been the same. Shortly before she died, I wanted to talk to her... but she looked completely exhausted."

Sophie: "Yeah, I remember... The burden she carried had become so heavy... I think that's really sad."

Fiona: "By the way... I did visit her grave. Just... not on the day Jose was there."

Sophie: "What?"

Marcus: "Yeah... I remember. I was there too. That's where I ran into you."

Sophie: "I don't understand. You two had a huge fight because of what happened to those children."

Fiona: "Yeah... But here's the thing... Marcus learned the truth through her diary. I saw it with my own eyes. A few years before she died, I followed her through the streets... and I saw her visit three orphanages... She left them something and then walked away. That's why I wanted to talk to her before she died... but... I didn't have the courage. Besides... like I said... she looked completely exhausted. I didn't want... to bother her."

Sophie: "Hmm... This really makes me understand why so many people say... children shouldn't be judged for the sins of their parents... I think I'll visit her grave too."

Rosika: "Me too."

Fiona: "Good. Then we'll do that someday when we have time. Right now we have a more important problem... Jose... Umm... Joker?"

The Joker was sitting at the table, looking bored.

The Joker: "(Yawn)... Are you all finally done?... By the way... who the hell left this magazine here?"

Sophie: "Ugh... That's... Siegfried's ice magazine."

Fiona: "Gross. Put that away. Why are you reading it?"

The Joker: "I was bored... Huh?... Why... are they... eating... ice cream... like... that?"

Sophie: "Stop reading it... Do you actually like that?"

The Joker: "Not really."

She stood up and tossed the magazine away. Siegfried caught it.

Siegfried: "Hey... I can sell that."

The Joker: "Yeah, right. Nobody's buying that... You can't poop ice cream."

Sophie: "Aaaaaaargh!... Now all those memories are coming back..."

The Joker: "So, now that that's over... what do you think about my proposal?"

Daisy: "Hmm. I have to leave anyway. Like I said... talk to Rosalie about it."

She dissolved back into plants and disappeared through the telephone.

Sophie: "Can I ask something?... What if the connection gets cut off?"

Siegfried: "Don't tempt fate."

The Joker: "Umm... One question before I leave... Is that a deal then?... And who is this Rosalie?"

Sophie: "She's one of our colleagues."

Fiona: "Hahh... Joker... What if you trick us again like you planned to before?"

The Joker: "Hey, I didn't trick you. I only pretended to trick you so I could trick Zantanel. In the end, I only fooled her."

Sophie: "Well, in the end you got fooled too. Anyway... Fiona... I think it's a good idea this time. She herself said the Wolves of Wrath are her rivals."

Fiona: "Hmm... Yeah... You're right. Fine... if that's what you think."

The Joker: "Hehe... I'm glad we have a deal. See you later... Oh, Fiona... did you like my gift?"

Fiona: "You mean the lipstick marks on my forehead and cheeks?... Come here for a second."

The Joker stepped closer.

(Smack)

The Joker: "Ow..."

Fiona: "You don't kiss people without their permission. There. Now you can leave."

The Joker: "Oh... A slap from Fiona. Hehe... You're amazing."

Sophie: "Now go already... Hurry... Wait... Does that actually turn you on?"

Fiona: "(Sweating)... Huh?"

The Joker: "Oh... Hehe. You thought I only enjoy it when other people suffer? No... If I ever have a relationship, it'll be with someone who enjoys hitting me, and I enjoy hitting them."

Sophie: "Oh... Just get the hell out already. Good grief... Listening to you makes me jealous of deaf people."

Rosika: "Me too. I wish I were deaf instead of blind."

Siegfried: "I wish I were both."
