It has now been several days since the Siegfried incident. But missions do not wait... because today, an incident occurred in San Guimeares.
(Splash!)
Guard: "Gahhhhhhhhh!"
Eliska: "Hmmm..."
(Patch!) (Patch!)
Eliska: "Hmm?"
The Joker: "Didn't find anything, huh?"
Eliska: "No."
The Joker: "Haaahhhhh... Oh man... We have to succeed. The boss also wants us to... take out three politicians."
Eliska: "Who?"
The Joker: "First, Santo Mendes, a popular politician... then there is Veronica Silva... and then Luis Geovani."
Eliska: "I see..."
The Joker: "I think we should take care of Santo Mendes first... Although Luis Geovani is easy. A scandal recently came out that he had an affair... with a woman... well... someone who was under the legal age for a relationship."
Eliska: "A pedo?"
The Joker: "...Yes... Exactly... Besides, he is known for his contemptuous attitude toward his own people... He once bought a piece of land even though people were living there... They resisted, and he ordered the authorities to find something against them... They discovered that someone in the family had once killed a police officer... but it had been self-defense... Well... he didn't care. It was the best excuse... So the family was executed... Anyway... nobody will miss him..."
(Some hours later)
Sophie: "Hmm?... Politicians?"
Rosalie: "Politicians who are in danger... The best candidate is Luis Geovani... He is currently facing massive criticism for exploiting poor people and having an affair with a 17-year-old."
Sophie: "Hmmm..."
Fiona: "And what are we supposed to do with him?"
Rosalie: "Protect him."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Rejected... He can go to hell."
Sophie: "Exactly... Are you serious?"
Rosalie: "An order is an order."
Hans: "(Cough)... I can understand that you are against it... but... it was an order. I am not happy about it either."
Sophie: "Haaah..."
Rosalie: "Marcus will also be there and will even help you."
Fiona: "Hmm... Just so you know... I am not going to kill anyone for that guy..."
Rosalie: "Even if he is evil?"
Fiona: "Evil?... Anyone who wants to murder him isn't exactly evil..."
Sophie: "Good point..."
Rosalie: "Enough now... Go!"
Sophie: "Alright."
They set off.
Sophie: "Oh man."
Fiona: "Hmph... Man, this could be really annoying... I will never forgive myself for this."
Sophie: "Neither will I... So now we are supposed to protect the perpetrator instead of the victims. Great... I knew we weren't heroes, but this is going too far."
They got into the car. Sophie drove and put a cigar in her mouth.
Sophie: "Sorry, Fiona, can you light it?"
Fiona: "Sure."
(Click!)
Sophie: "(Smokes)... Thanks..."
She took it out.
Sophie: "Here, take a puff."
Fiona: "Sure."
She smoked as well and gave it back to her.
Sophie: "My goodness... this is exhausting... At some point, cigars won't be enough."
Fiona: "Hmph."
Sophie: "It makes me wonder what we can do."
Fiona: "Do what Remy did... He had plenty of nights to get rid of his stress."
Sophie: "Huh?... Oh... oh... No. Absolutely not... Don't summon the bad luck by saying that."
Fiona: "Hehe."
Sophie: "Hahh."
She stopped the car.
Sophie: "We're here... Oh, there's Marcus."
Marcus: "Oh... hey."
Sophie: "Hey."
They got out.
Sophie: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Hey, Marcus."
Marcus: "Hey... Let me guess... You two look pretty pissed about this, right?"
Sophie: "Yep. You don't look particularly happy about it either."
Marcus: "I'm supposed to protect a dirty asshole?... No thanks... I was literally forced to do this."
Sophie: "Haha... We are alike. We didn't have a choice either."
Fiona: "Yep."
Sophie: "Haha, let's go inside... He's giving a speech today... At least there is free food... First, let's change into outfits like those filthy rich nobles."
Marcus: "Wow."
Sophie: "Here, Fiona, wear this."
She threw a suit at her.
Fiona: "What is this?... It shows my entire back."
Sophie: "Yeah, yeah..."
Fiona: "And what about my tattoo, the Poison Glass?"
Sophie: "Use this... John Titor developed it. It reveals the tattoos."
She took it.
Fiona: "So now I have to show a lot of my skin for this guy?"
Sophie: "Mhm."
She took hers out.
Sophie: "Be glad. Mine even shows my stomach... Anyway, what about you, Marcus? Oh, you're already dressed... Wait for us in the building... We'll be there."
Marcus: "Sure."
They watched him walk away.
(Three minutes later)
Sophie: "Hah. Fiona, ready?"
Fiona: "Yes."
(Patch!)
Fiona: "Ighhhh... These... shoes... Do I really have to wear them?"
Sophie: "Those are valuable ladies' shoes, hehe."
Fiona: "Only those rich people wear these... How am I even supposed to walk in them?"
Sophie: "Hehehe... Funny... You originally came from a rich family yourself..."
Fiona: "Yeah, yeah."
Sophie: "Come on."
They continued walking.
Sophie: "Hmm."
(Crash!)
Fiona: "Ow!"
Sophie: "(Sweats) Oh dear..."
Fiona: "Damn... Do I have to make my foot smaller like in those fairy tales?"
Sophie: "Hehehe... Your foot is already small, my dear... hehe... It's normal for them to be tight... Mine are tight too, but I'm used to it... Whoa!"
(Crash!)
Sophie: "...Ouch... Okay. Apparently I'm not used to it after all."
They continued walking.
Marcus: "Ohh... There... you... are..."
Sophie: "Hey."
Fiona: "Hey."
Marcus: "Ughh... (turns red)... (cough)... (...Wow... I have to admit... they look beautiful...) You two look good."
Sophie: "Oh... thanks."
Fiona: "I don't know what's so good about showing your skin, but okay."
Sophie: "Why are you so strongly against it?"
Fiona: "Because you don't do that. There are children here... No wonder women here often become mothers at such a young age."
Marcus: "Whoa... whoa."
Sophie: "(Sweats)... Come on, get used to showing a little skin from time to time. You only don't do it because you wanted to be a role model for Cossette... but she's not here now... It's not like you're showing your chest or backside."
Fiona: "Wait... There are people who actually do that?"
Sophie: "Pff... hahahahaha... Look at that woman over there."
Marcus: "Hmm... ugh!"
Fiona: "Huh?!"
Sophie: "...Damn... You can almost see everything... See? That's wild."
Marcus: "Disgusting."
Fiona: "Ah... okay... Well, I have some outfits that show a little skin, but usually only some of my back or stomach."
Sophie: "Yeah, yeah... Let's go now."
They continued walking.
Sophie: "Oh, look... Cookies... mmmm."
Marcus: "Sophie, we're not here to eat."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "Oh, don't be such a spoilsport... Mmm. What about you, Fiona? Don't you want to eat?"
Fiona: "No... This food came from exploiting the poor... I won't touch it."
Marcus: "You really have sympathy for poor people, huh... Are you a fan of Victor Hugo?"
Fiona: "Hmm?... More of Mark Twain, actually, but okay."
Sophie: "Oh..."
She continued eating.
Sophie: "Come on, we can have a little fun."
Marcus: "Hmm... I don't feel like eating. There is no wine here."
Sophie: "Oh... You like drinking?"
Marcus: "Yes."
Fiona: "Unhealthy."
Sophie: "Yeah, very unhealthy."
Marcus: "Oh, leave me alone."
Sophie: "You could get kidney problems."
(Ding!)
Luis: "Dear citizens."
Sophie: "Oh... It already started."
Fiona: "Tsss."
Marcus: "Hmph... He looks disgusting again."
Luis: "I thank you for your trust... Of course, I will be running as a candidate for the next mayor of the capital, Vitoria... I will make people work more so that we can earn more money... No more laziness... And this nonsense about pensions. What do these farmers even do?... Nothing more than milk cows, and at home they have wives who smell so terrible..."
Sophie: "Ighh... What an asshole... I don't even want to eat anymore."
She let go of the food.
Sophie: "Hmph."
Marcus: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Both turned around.
Luis: "The citizens?... They should be grateful that we rich people even bothered to take care of them... Who built these houses? Were they the useless poor citizens, whose children play like street children... or whose wives smell so bad because they don't have perfume?... Hahh... That is the definition of something outdated. They are rats..."
(Bang!)
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Luis: "Ughh... urk..."
He fell to the ground.
Sophie: "Oh, oops."
Fiona: "Oops."
Marcus: "Oops... Well... that's unfortunate. Let's go."
Sophie: "Yep. Mission failed... Luckily... Go to hell."
(Bang!)
Sophie: "Whoa!"
They ducked down.
Sophie: "He's going after everyone here."
Fiona: "Ugh."
Marcus: "Hmm?"
A woman fell to the ground.
Marcus: "Is that his wife?"
Sophie: "No."
Fiona: "No."
Marcus: "Shame... I mean... yeah... shame."
Sophie: "Hey, I think she's still alive... but whatever, we should go."
They started moving.
Noblewoman: "Urk... please."
Fiona: "Ughh..."
Noblewoman: "Please... help me..."
Sophie: "Huh?... Mmm."
Marcus: "What are you doing? Let's go."
Sophie: "Mmm."
Both went over to the woman.
Sophie: "Where were you hit?"
Noblewoman: "I don't know."
Fiona: "Hmm... Let me see... On the side of your stomach... Are you pregnant?"
Noblewoman: "No."
Sophie: "Good... Who is taking her?"
Marcus: "I'll take her. You stay here and see who is shooting at the people. Since we're already here."
Sophie: "Okay."
Fiona: "Okay."
Marcus: "Good."
He carried her in his arms and ran off.
Sophie: "So... let's see who is shooting right now... Hmm."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Oh... There, in the glass."
Sophie threw a piece of glass into the air.
(Bang!)
Sophie: "Whoa... Whoever it is... he clearly wasn't only after the politician... Oh... the food."
Fiona: "Hmm... He wanted to kill as many people as possible."
Sophie: "Why?"
Fiona: "No idea..."
Sophie: "Great... How are we supposed to get past him when he's got us pinned down?"
Fiona: "Hmm... You're a good shot, aren't you?"
Sophie: "...Yes..."
Fiona: "Good..."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
She took a piece of glass and threw it as high as possible.
(Bang!)
Sophie: "Wow."
Fiona: "Right... on the building... there... I'll distract him, and you go there."
Sophie: "Okay... Be careful, alright?"
Fiona: "I will."
Sophie: "Okay."
She got ready. Fiona got ready as well while Sophie prepared herself... Fiona took out her pistol and fired toward the building... Sophie ran.
(Bang!) (Bang!)
Fiona: "Ugh... hahhh..."
(Bang!!) (Bang!)
Fiona: "Tss."
She ducked down.
Fiona: "Hahhh..."
(Meanwhile)
Sophie: "Hahh... Oh... Got you... Huh?"
The Finger: "Well, well..."
Sophie: "You?"
The Finger: "Very nice of you..."
Sophie: "Wait... why... though?"
He aimed at her.
The Finger: "You'd better leave quickly... and take Fiona with you. The entire building is going to explode."
Sophie: "Huh?"
The Finger: "You have... eight minutes."
She ran back to Fiona.
(Bang!)
Fiona: "Damn... Huh?... It's actually quiet."
Sophie: "Fiona!"
Fiona: "Sophie."
Sophie: "Come here."
She grabbed her hand and took her with her.
Sophie: "There's a bomb. Hurry!"
Fiona: "What?"
Sophie: "Oh no... We have to jump."
They jumped.
(Kaboom!!!!)
(Crash!)
Sophie: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Urk."
Sophie: "Hahh... damn... Are you okay... Fiona... hey."
She touched her shoulder.
Sophie: "Hey."
Fiona: "Yes... yes, I'm fine..."
Sophie: "Hahhh..."
(Patch!)
The Finger: "You made it. Not bad."
Sophie: "Hm?"
Fiona: "You?"
The Finger: "(Sweats)... You two again?... Anyway... I have to go now... By the way... I didn't know you showed skin, Fiona."
Fiona: "Ugh... (turns red)... This... is for the mission, okay!"
The Finger: "Sure... I like it, though... You look hot... You too, Sophie..."
Sophie: "Huh?... Am I supposed to say thank you now?... Or blush, hmm... Actually, he is pretty handsome... What do you think, Fiona?"
Fiona: "He's an asshole..."
Sophie: "(Sweats) Okay."
The Finger: "I have to go now."
He walked past them. Before doing so, he gently patted Fiona on the head.
The Finger: "Ugh."
Sophie: "Oh... Fiona, I have to tell you... He's into you."
Fiona: "Huh?..."
Sophie: "Come on, he's handsome."
Fiona: "And a Hunter."
Sophie: "But handsome."
Fiona: "Okay... but looks aren't everything."
Sophie: "He saved us... Even then, he didn't want to hurt us... That guy really is a mystery..."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "But honestly... It's not good... That means the Hunters are back in business. Right?"
Fiona: "Yes... That's probably true... We should go back."
Sophie: "Yep, but quickly."
The Finger made his way back. He removed his suit and changed his clothes while walking.
The Finger: "Hmm..."
He looked at his hand.
The Finger: "Hehe... I'm glad to see you again... Detective Fiona... The one who fights for the poor."
The Joker: "And... finished? Why are you grinning like that?"
The Finger: "I saw Sophie and Fiona."
The Joker: "Ohh... hahaha... That is indeed a reason to smile..."
The Finger: "Sophie and Fiona were even wearing outfits that showed some skin."
The Joker: "Ohhh... I wish I had seen it with their smooth skin... (licks lips)... That makes me excited."
The Finger: "Good. The first one is dead. The guy was a loser... Let's go."
The Joker: "Okay. Let's go."
They continued on their way.
(Some hours later)
Hans: "The Hunters?"
Sophie: "Yes."
Fiona: "The Finger killed him."
Sophie: "Mhm."
Hans: "Okay... That's not good. We have to be careful... Who knows what they are planning."
Sophie: "Mhm... Oh, by the way... Apparently he smiled at both of us... but he seems interested in Fiona. Hehe, crazy, right?"
Fiona: "Mmm... (turns red)"
Rosalie: "Hahh... Why do criminals always fall for you?"
Fiona: "No idea... I must be cursed."
Sophie: "Cursed... that guy is handsome."
Rosalie: "Ugh... Wait, really?"
Sophie: "Very."
Rosalie: "Oh... interesting..."
Sophie: "Yeah."
Fiona: "Can you two stop?"
Sophie: "But that mission was crazy."
