Kujou's at the library again?
I wonder what she's like... That Victorica...
Cecile, you idiot! Let me go!
Wait, Victorica!
Y-You'll hurt yourself!
Professeur, Victorica?
Ah, Kujou! Help me!
Since she finally left the library,
she should come to school and meet her classmates!
That's what I told her!
I absolutely will not go!
Why not?
In any case, I don't do things I don't like.
No way!
No way!!
No way!!!
So as I said, this is the student everyone has been waiting for...
Victorica!
That's Victorica...?
The library's...
Gray Wolf?
So, that's Victorica.
Smooth, white skin...
A dream-like blush on her cheeks.
Long, radiant, gold hair...
Fine limbs, just like...
A doll created for the gods!
Everyone from Avril onward, please move back a seat.
Victorica can sit next to Kujou.
Victorica, this way.
What is it, Avril?
Ah, morning.
Morning. We'll talk about it later.
Everyone, there was actually a bit of an incident this morning,
so we won't be having any class today.
What's with her?
She seems pretty nervous.
Hey, are you all right?
Are you uncomfortable?
Hey...
What? At least give a response.
Or maybe the Gray Wolf can't understand human speech?
Hey, Gray Wolf.
Wolf-human demon! Demon!
You insolent...!
Don't touch me whenever you like!
Stop it, Victorica!
Episode 14
The Grumpy Frill Blames the Farting Newt
Glad to hear there's nothing wrong.
Hey, apologize.
I will not apologize.
Umm, Kujou...
You almost hurt Avril, you know! Now...
No!
Actually, I...
This woman is a farting newt!
I won't speak with a newt!
Victorica!
Hey, go apologize!
Kujou!
I'm just teaching this farting Victorica some manners!
I won't let go until you apologize!
You half-wit idiot...
Mortal scum...
No, that's not what happened!
Oh, my...
A murder in the clock tower?
Something strange happened yesterday, too.
It must have been the spirit of Leviathan!
That's certainly something a farting newt would say.
Victorica!
Professeur Cecile, you seemed really agitated when you chased Kujou and me out yesterday.
That was really weird.
That was not the first time someone has died in that tower.
So...
It's happened in the past?
This is the fifth.
Each happened in that room.
Purple marks on their right index finger.
The autopsies all concluded death by poison through the finger.
When was the first case?
Sometime around the beginning of this century, I think.
Around the time Leviathan fled that clock tower.
Are there any common qualities among the victims?
They were all foreigners.
For example, a visiting professor, a tourist...
and undocumented visitors.
Where are you going?
The clock tower, of course.
Leviathan's mystery can only be solved in the clock tower.
My Fountain of Wisdom is very clear on that.
Wait, I'm going too!
Kujou, me too!
Now what's this? You've actually left the library!
Just what could be going on?
I have accepted the challenge of Leviathan the Alchemist.
Leviathan?
Umm... there are bugs...
I was in a hurry, so I had to use sugar water to make it stick.
That's why...
In any case, where are you going, Inspector?
Back to the bureau.
The investigation is over.
Ah, already?
Kujou, do you have a moment?
This school began to accept transfer students like you a few years ago.
A hundred years ago all outsiders were restricted from enrolling.
Why is that?
This used to be a royal armory disguised as an educational facility.
Their research and personnel could never be made public.
This place has always concealed the dark history of this nation.
There are things here that should not see the light of day.
Leviathan is one of them.
Is that why you aren't investigating?
This is for the Saubure Kingdom.
Also...
Kujou, if my sister wants to interfere in this affair,
I hope you will stop her.
I don't know what dangers may be hidden.
Dangers?
What kind of dangers...?
I'm saying it's better that my sister and a powerless squirrel stay together.
Well then, farewell.
Danger.
Dark history.
Hey, Kujou. Do you want to go and investigate the incident in the village?
Sure, but...
Victorica can come along too.
I'm not going.
You can go with Kujou wherever you wish, you farting newt.
Victorica, apologize to Avril!
No way!
Victorica!
Kujou, it's because I'm...
Avril, don't interfere.
Victorica, I've always thought you were gentler than this.
You're my most important friend.
Most important...
So, please, Victorica...
I get it. I won't bother you anymore, all right?
Are you sure you don't want to come along?
Then let's have a contest.
We'll see who can solve the Alchemist's riddle first.
How about that?
Well... See you later then.
Kujou, that idiot... He really was too angry.
How cruel...
I see. Is that it?
Leviathan.
Your most important...?
Did I say a bit too much?
This...
It looks like a lot of names are written here.
Are they buried together?
500 years ago.
It's a tomb for Protestants.
Back when the Catholics and Protestants were at war,
the entire village was massacred.
Old buildings nearby still contain secret rooms used by Protestants to hide.
So, what are you looking for?
Actually...
A tomb for the foreigners who died in that clock tower?
There's nothing like that.
Everyone buried here belonged to the village.
Is that so? Thank you very much.
That was when I was still a young child.
Avril...
Don't be shocked, but...
I saw an invisible spirit in this cemetery!
Wait, how could you have seen something invisible?
That's...
I heard footsteps,
yet I couldn't see a shadow anywhere.
However, on the ground...
From the footprints, it must have been the spirit of a child.
Seriously, Avril...
Gold and black skin.
Ah, Kujou, what are you doing?
Sophie, what's up?
I'm here to visit the graves, of course.
Kujou, you're... on a date?
N-No!
Anyway, that song just now...
Who are you?
Just a traveler seeking something lost.
How can there be something lost here?
There is... a beautiful monster.
Monster?
That red hair.
You're the companion of the Asian man who died in this room, right?
Yeah, Wong Kai the Conjurer. Have you heard of him?
No.
Wong had an interest in that movie, "Illusion of the Dark Tower."
He seems to have snuck into this tower which served as a model for the film.
Are you a magician too?
Oh, how did you know?
Because I am a monster.
Then, as to the question of who I actually am, you should...
I know.
Your goal.
Even the name of that person accompanying you.
What an incredible person.
There is nothing I do not know.
You are just a tool.
A tool that was raised without love.
What would you know?
There is nothing I don't know!
What are you two doing here?
You are...?
The carpenter.
I'm discussing with the higher-ups whether to take this place apart or not.
It's an incredibly old building anyway.
Just being here is really dangerous.
Really? I'll be careful.
I have something I'd like you to investigate.
We heard so many things, huh?
Yeah.
Huh? Kujou?!
Victorica.
Hey, Victorica.
Can you hear me? I have a present for you.
You must have brought another strange hat.
It's a raspberry sandwich.
What?
I didn't think... Kujou... was so fast...
That's how it is. The old buildings have secret rooms that Protestants used.
Also, do you know "The African's Song"?
Even children seem to know it down in the village.
It seems that some Africans who used to live around here always sang that song.
Their origin, and their purpose for coming, are both unknown,
but they all died in an epidemic.
I remember it was near the end of 1873,
because the old king died right after the new year.
I remember it very clearly.
Walk a bit more and soon we'll arrive.
Cute sisters, papas and mamas.
Gold and black skin.
Walking in a single row, walking in a single row.
The lyrics have the word "gold" in them.
What do you think?
Kujou!
Avril?
We said we'd have a contest!
Why did you tell her what we found in our investigation?
But, I thought exchanging information could help solve this case.
The farting newt came back, huh?
What? You grumpy frill!
Grumpy frill?
What the heck is that?
I don't know!
In any case, I won't be defeated when it comes to rude words!
That's enough.
Let's present each of our deductions.
I think, Leviathan's ghost is still lingering in the clock tower...
and hates it when foreigners enter.
But, didn't Leviathan go missing after he was shot by poisoned arrows?
Maybe he's still alive,
and then started murdering for some reason.
You two are such idiots.
W-What did you say?!
Especially you. There are no ghosts in this world.
Wake up.
Then, you agree with Kujou and say he's still alive?
Leviathan died a long time ago.
Only, he hid the fact that he died.
His body isn't undead by any means.
Also, his alchemy was nothing but a con.
That's not true!
Leviathan was an alchemist! He really was amazing!
Avril, calm down a bit.
I remember he appeared to have turned a white rose blue.
That's right.
He performed it with the King, the Queen, and many others in audience.
Well then, let me demonstrate that trick.
Afterward, reflect upon your foolishness and die of shame.
Stay calm...
Hmph, how can it be done?
No way!
H-How did you...?
Cotton?
Let the cut end of the stem absorb the ink,
then the white rose petals will turn the same color.
A simple trick.
How could this...
Is Leviathan really dead?
I have seen through almost all of his tricks,
but not all of them yet.
I am waiting for the last piece to fall into place before reassembling all of them.
The last piece.
Brian... Ah, there was a man called Brian Roscoe!
The descendant that came here ten years ago.
Brain Roscoe.
If it was ten years ago, it matches the time that the picture was taken.
W-Wait! I just remembered something!
Wait, Kujou!
Victorica.
I'm sorry, for calling you a demon.
You're really amazing.
Maybe I am a little... well... foolish.
What do you think?
You are definitely... an idiot.
However...
You are free.
T-That's just the way I am.
Kujou is always by your side,
so he may think I'm a bit stupid.
In short...
What I'm trying to say is...
Please don't take away Kujou from me!
Ah! Forget what I just said!
I didn't say anything!
Thank goodness...
Oh, youth...
You in the future who have received this book.
Are you a man? A woman?
An adult or a child?
I'm saying it's better that my sister and a powerless squirrel stay together.
Do you have some business with me?
Young man?
Continue to learn more of my story.
Then, you will understand
the story of my sin and regret.
Accept it.
This is my answer to the challenge you gave me.
All right! I'm gonna catch it!
What are you catching, Kujou?
