Victorica, something happened!
Can you listen calmly?
Actually, I have something to discuss with you.
Fugee? What does that mean?
Victorica, stop joking around!
12:51!
He hung up.
What on Earth happened?
Episode 10
Having a Cold, Meeting a Stubborn Friend in Dreams
Ouch...
You are...
I...
I am Anastasia.
Are you Russian?
When I came to Saubreme, I was looking at dresses in front of that store.
A woman asked me to go to the fitting room, then...
Have you been imprisoned since then?
Imprisoned somewhere in Jiangtan?
There was a window there. I could see the Saubure royal palace.
There was a double-headed eagle there.
I escaped that place myself...
Then you hid in there, right?
The demons! The demons are coming!
Calm down!
We are... sacrificial offerings...
The demons are coming, chanting the spells of the ritual,
pointing at us, cursing us.
The cursed people are taken away...
and never return.
Please...
So it was true... the ghost story that Avril told me.
But, how can we prove that?
When there is no one who has watched Jiangtan...
Tell the police my name and look for an inspector named Glaviel.
But...
It'll be all right. I'll hurry there later.
I will definitely save your companions.
How much is this worth?
This thing is worth 3 coppers at most.
Then pretend that I never asked.
Ah, I finally found you!
Hey, you...
What do you want?
Eh? That hat...
Let me say it first, I never did anything sneaky...
I have something to talk to you about.
You accurately guessed the amount of coins I dropped.
I think you counted all the coins in an instant.
Also, the incident with that renovation company...
You have impressive memorization skills.
If I were you, then I might've remembered all those people who went into Jiangtan's and never came out.
I refuse.
People like you have come before,
and brought me to the police.
But those guys didn't believe me at all.
Nobody will believe things that a dirty brat like me says.
No one...
I believe you.
I know another person just like you.
That child is smart, and really incredible too.
She treats me...
like a fool though.
Yeah, really...
Victorica keeps calling me an idiot!
Catching a cold serves her right!
And she abuses me, and didn't listen to me just now.
Does she really think of me as a friend?
What's that for?!
I'm leaving, you honest person.
I'll just have to prove it for you, right?
But in exchange...
Just give me another coin.
Sure.
Cecile, bring me all of this week's Saubreme newspapers.
It's urgent.
I say, Victorica, even after you had a shot—
It's very urgent!
Okay.
What is this?
It's Fantasmagorie.
You like this kind of thing?
Fantas... what?
The greatest magician of this century, Brian Roscoe.
I'm sure I've heard that name somewhere.
A doll?
It's a chess doll!
Ah, it's Roscoe!
It's Roscoe the Teleporter!
It's him...
Remember to carry that lady carefully.
Lady?
You hear me? The lady caught a cold this morning.
As I already said.
You should carry it in as carefully and gently as you can.
Let's go, something's making me sick.
Last winter, February 12th, 3:05 in the afternoon.
This spring, May 3rd, 7:12 at night, entered Jiangtan.
And that was it, no one came back out.
Next, last summer, August 30th, 10:02 in the morning. That's all.
The pictures that he chose are all people that have been reported missing.
The reported times and dates match perfectly with those from the eyewitness.
So how's that?
Her background has been investigated.
Definitely, Jiangtan is suspicious.
In 1917, a daughter of a wealthy aristocrat,
was exiled out of her country during the Russian Revolution.
And after losing both her parents,
with the help of her very few relatives, she came to Saubure.
We are now confirming her identity.
We're on the right track.
And also... well...
The thing about demons and sacrificial offerings...
I guess I have no other option.
You, go call that person quickly!
You mean Victorica?
Inspector, don't always depend on me. You should do it yourself...
No!
You don't understand a thing.
Why do you think I keep this hairstyle?
What? Isn't it because you like it?
In the past, I also asked for her help
because I had a case that had to be solved no matter what.
And so, the price was...
Could it be that Victorica...
Kujou!
The favors you ask of her are like borrowing a lot of money from a creditor for free.
It's too strange and incredible!
Victorica.
I understand, I'll go ask for her help.
But this is the last time.
I see.
How boring.
Victorica, a phone call for you again!
Victorica, hello? Can you hear me?
I actually have something I need your help with.
Kujou, why do you like to upturn my peaceful and quiet life so much?
You probably have been involved in some case again,
and are pitifully stuck without any solutions, right?
Well... I'm really sorry to keep relying on you.
But I'm really grateful...
for you saving me all the time.
Almost all of the fragments of chaos have been collected.
H-How?!
It's obvious. It is what the Fountain of Wisdom has told me.
But, some pieces are still missing.
Tell me, Kujou.
Keep it short.
Well then, let me reconstruct them.
Kujou, find a paperweight, the glass kind.
We have one.
Now drop it on the floor.
Just do it! Do as I say!
It broke, so?
When you were in the room in Jiangtan you dropped the paperweight,
but it didn't break.
Why do you think that happened?
Why?
That's because the Blue Rose that you dropped wasn't made of glass.
If it was a blue diamond, it wouldn't break.
Kujou, what you saw in that room wasn't a paperweight,
but, stolen from the Saubure royal palace during the Great War,
the true Blue Rose.
So it seems that Jiangtan is a stage for pieces of art that were lost in the darkness of history to smugglers.
Take a look there too!
We've found it, Inspector.
Garnier, here is the evidence.
You locked all the missing people here...
That is only a storage room.
It's not normally used a lot.
But...
Kujou, stop now!
This can't be counted as evidence!
If the other side claims that it is only a storage room, we can't do anything.
Let me go, Inspector!
No! Calm down, Kujou.
No! It's no mistake!
The children must've been imprisoned here!
Kujou, the evidence you need has to be more concrete.
Inspector, let me go!
Enough! Shut up now!
Use Blue John.
The pieces of art lost from the palace,
and the kidnapped children...
All of these must be hidden somewhere in that building.
They must be hidden somewhere.
The Blue John will guide you to the truth.
Nothing has been found. Sorry for troubling you.
Can you leave the premises now?
I wonder about that.
Did you know?
Blue John is a mysterious stone.
After it has been repeatedly and completely ground into dust...
it can replace ectoplasm and be used in various ways.
If you ask why...
It gives off...
a blue light in darkness.
That girl, Anastasia, had said...
she could see the royal palace from where she was imprisoned.
So we marked all the windows in the store that faced that direction.
However, there is one window that hasn't been marked.
Garnier! That is the secret room that you used to imprison the children!
Glaviel!
It's the 7th window on the 5th floor!
5th floor!
Go and search all the rooms on the 5th floor!
No way!
Why are you just standing there?
Stop them!
I won't let you take another step!
Leave this to me, young boy!
Okay, I'm counting on you!
I found it.
This is...
So, the bidding starts at 30000.
35000!
Anyone else?
37000.
40000.
42000.
50000.
Highest bid is 50000, any others?
Blank
Oh, someone is bidding 60000!
This isn't any demonic ritual,
but an auction for missing artwork and children.
This is the police!
Nobody move!
Take him away.
Two-headed Eagle.
If I remember correctly, it's the crest of the Romanov royalty.
It certainly is the real one.
Victorica, it's just like you said.
One of Saubreme's renowned men, Garnier,
was actually a member of the group that raided the Saubure Kingdom's treasury during the chaos of the Great War.
He used the money to buy Jiangtan and began to smuggle artwork.
The capital city is so scary.
The lady you mentioned earlier was also a victim of the kidnappers.
I see.
The police commissioner is investigating on the front lines
for the locations of the missing children.
Everyone wants to believe that we can find them all, but...
Is it funny? Funny?
Thank you for saving everyone!
No, I didn't do much.
We've already contacted her relatives.
They will come to pick you up quickly, also...
Chinese.
Um...
What? Your memory is so bad.
Didn't I testify for you?
Give me another coin.
Oh, it's you.
But your clothes are...
I'm going to a boarding school.
This person volunteered to pay for my tuition.
Long time no see, Glaviel.
Your hairstyle is weird as usual.
You face is weirder, Jacqueline.
What's going on? Those two seem to know each other.
Hey, my name's Luigi. What's yours?
Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet.
Kazuya. Kazuya Kujou.
What a strange name.
That's rude!
Listen up!
Despite how I look, I'm actually the 3rd son of a soldier of the Empire—
Don't look so uptight... come on, come on!
What a strange face!
Don't you feel like fate is really ironic?
You, the eldest son of Marquis Blois,
found the Blue Rose for the king.
That's all in the past.
Thank you!
Take care, Kazuya!
Yeah! You too!
Victorica, what are you doing today?
I hope your cold is all better now.
You're a princess all alone in a tower who knows nothing.
This hairstyle isn't a big deal to me.
If you really wanted me to despair,
you should've asked for something else.
But,
you can't think of anything.
If you ask why,
that's because you have never loved anyone else.
No!
You don't have the power to make someone despair.
It's impossible for the Grey Wolf to love someone else.
Wrong! You're wrong!
You're wrong! It's not that!
Kujou, when did you—
Seriously, Victorica was talking in her sleep again.
So, are you feeling better?
Thanks to you the case was solved successfully.
That's good.
Here.
It's a present. Do you want it?
I want it!
Is there something you don't like about it?
Kujou, get me that pipe over there.
Yes. This is nice.
I'll tell you my brother's secret.
In that drill,
there's candy hidden inside, Kujou.
You're kidding!
What flavor is it?
