Meriella and Donatella are mean.
I know that I'm the one who forgot to check
if all the doors were locked,
but they still could have come with me.
Who's there?
Is someone there?
Show yourself, intruder!
A ghost in the kitchen?
How ridiculous.
I'm sure she was just tired and was seeing things.
But Isabella is saying she saw one.
She said she had long hair and was wearing a white dress.
She only thought she saw it because she was scared.
If she would regularly train her mental state
so little things wouldn't scare her...
So you say, but you're actually scared, aren't you?
What did you say?!
It's not showing up.
Shut up.
What's the matter?!
Oh, uh, it's nothing...
It's a misunderstanding!
I didn't mean...
Wh-White?
I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to look!
Ow!
A Pace repellent?
Yes. I didn't mean to scare everyone.
So this is the ghost's identity.
How ridiculous.
I wanted it to look real, so I also used some alchemy.
I didn't expect you to be so surprised.
So why the repellent for Pace?
I guess I can figure that out on my own.
Yes.
I still haven't overcome the fear I felt that day...
Give them to me...
Who is it?
Dolce...
Pace?
I want to eat...
Give them to me...
Dolce...
So a sleepwalking Pace ate all of them?
It's no laughing matter!
Thanks to him, I was awake all night.
So, I set up that trap so he can't bother me this time.
If that's the case, you should have told us prior.
How troublesome, for crying out loud.
But, Luca,
what are you going to do with all these sweets you've made?
I'm taking them to the piccolino.
Piccolino?
Oh, you hadn't been informed yet, Milady?
The piccolino is an event for little children that the family holds.
We invite all the kids from Regalo and entertain them.
We put on shows and play calcio.
It's a lot of fun!
I know!
You should come, too! It's the day after tomorrow.
You will, won't you?
You're going, too, right, Nova?
He skips out every time.
I'm busy.
So you say.
But the truth is you're so short, you can't handle kids, huh?
So, Princess, it'll be the day after tomorrow.
Okay.
Hurry up! It's going to start!
Wait for me!
Come on! If you don't hurry, I'm leaving you behind!
I'm sorry.
Are you hurt?
I haven't seen you before.
Do you live around here?
Are you going to the piccolino, too?
Piccolino?
And now if I can have everyone's attention.
What I'm about to show you is the most secretive of secret techniques!
A dove will appear.
Wow!
Uh... Huh?
Time to change players.
No one's impressed with doves anymore, Luca.
What?!
Let's try something different, shall we?
Having fun is all about excitement and thrills.
Do you want to hear a scary story?
All right! Debito's awesome!
No, that's scary!
Actually, the scary moon demon, Diavolo,
lives here on Regalo.
It all happened one stormy night.
An orphaned child came to this church in search of help.
It was there, that the child met Diavolo.
But the child, of course, didn't realize it was demon.
How unfortunate.
The child's soul was severed in two.
One half became the demon's minion, Belzebù,
who resides in the darkness, hiding.
What about the other half?
The other half wasn't able to go to Heaven or Hell.
It's said that the ghost still haunts this church,
looking for someone to play with.
Speaking of which, it's right over there!
Hey, now, don't freak out too much.
Fukulota, your timing was more than impeccable.
Apparently, that was a little too intense.
Hey, now, don't look so sad.
You'll ruin your beautiful face.
So Debito likes children.
How unexpected.
Despite how scary he looks, he's good at taking care of others.
Indeed.
He was always nicer to the younger kids.
Have you two known Debito for a while?
Yeah, the three of us grew up together.
We often played in this church, too.
How nostalgic.
You can't hide the sound of your stomach growling, Pace.
Man.
Where's Debito?
I still haven't found him.
If there's one thing he's good at, it's hiding.
Pace.
Hey! We found Debito!
The look on Debito's face as he was
sleeping then was like an angel.
I'm still the angel of love even now.
Isn't that right, Bambina?
When did he become such a terrible adult?
What?
You want to tell me exactly what's so terrible about me?
Now, now, adults don't fight.
Luca, please!
Thank you for the food!
Those idiots are on the same level as kids.
The dessert for today is baci di dama, Milady.
It means "kiss from a lady."
It looks delicious!
Kiss from a lady, eh?
I'd say a kiss from Bambina is much sweeter.
Debito, step away from her!
And stop trying to seduce Milady!
Seduce? This is just a greeting.
Your greetings are improper!
And you call yourself a man of Regalo?
You're too rigid, you stuffed shirt!
You're not a kid, so shut your mouth.
Now then, since we're done eating,
I guess it's time for this.
Yay, calcio!
Out of the way!
Why the hell are you being so serious
playing against children?
So naïve!
You better stop him, Libertá!
Got it!
Do you think you can stop me?
They call me Regalo's mangostano!
Milady—
Whoops.
You hit the jackpot, I mean Luca.
Are you trying to kill me, Pace?!
Sorry, sorry.
What do you mean, "sorry"?!
What if that shot had hit Milady or the children?!
Not to mention the piccolino is an event to entertain the children!
Your entertainment comes after that!
You okay, Princess?
Yes.
The wind...
What about the wind?
Oh, it's nothing.
Hey!
Let's hurry up and continue the game!
Yeah, I'll be right there!
How stupid.
May I come in?
Mama.
I came here to scold you today.
You didn't go to the piccolino again.
I have work to do.
I don't know how
to interact with the children.
To think of nothing and just have fun with them.
It's easier said than done for me.
Nova.
It's no good, it's just getting worse.
We should probably hurry.
Are you all ready?
Yeah.
We'll split up the kids
into groups depending on where they live
and see that they get home safe.
Princess and Libertá, watch over the remaining.
Okay.
Leave it to us.
Now then,
what should we do until Debito and the others return?
Don't look so scared!
You're children of Regalo!
Storms shouldn't bother you!
I know!
You should go to them.
You're worried about the children at the church, aren't you?
It's written all over your face.
The three higher-ups, Luca, and that idiot are all with them.
I'm not worried...
You're so kind.
Nova,
kindness is nothing to be ashamed of.
It is a form of weakness.
You're wrong.
To be kind, to be weak, they both hold great power.
But you have confined that within a hard armor.
However, we are the reason that happened.
Mama, let's not talk about that...
The responsibility that I
and Mondo have for taking away your childhood is rather heavy.
However, let me say this despite knowing that.
As long as you wear that armor,
you won't be able to grow any more.
You should relax more, Nova.
Stop being scared of hurting others or being hurt yourself.
That may be the hardest thing for you.
But I want you to enjoy your life.
The way your heart desires...
Good grief. There he goes.
Storms are excellent, especially spring storms.
It makes you feel like something is about to begin.
The weather was clear!
The ship that carried the hero, Libertá,
along with a mountain of cargo,
headed north on the Aegean Sea.
However, soon after that, black clouds
started to form and the ship was quickly
engulfed by a storm!
We're doomed, Dante!
All hands on deck! Hurry!
Aye!
What are you doing, Libertá?
Hurry up and come down!
Stay there, I'll be right...
Dante!
And then?
What happened next?
Oh, uh...
What did happen...
Was the captain okay?
Oh, yeah, Dante...
er... the captain was fine,
thanks to the hero.
How did the captain survive?
What did the hero do?
Um...
Libertá?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not too smart, so I forgot.
What?
Sorry about that.
Damn it, it's just getting worse.
This should be all of them.
You two head back to the mansion.
Okay.
I'm leaving it up to you to escort Bambina back safely.
Got it!
All right.
Checking complete.
Let's go home, Princess.
Okay.
But, you know, it really seems like a ghost could—
Nova!
What the hell are you doing here?
Where are the children?
Oh, Debito and the others got them all home safely.
I see.
We're about to head back, too.
Do you want to—
So all of the children have gone home?
Huh? Yeah.
Then, what is that?
Huh?
What's your name?
Elmo.
Where do you live, Elmo?
We'll take you home.
You seem rather thin,
and your face is pale.
Really? I think you worry too much, Nova.
But...
U-Um, I wanted to ask her something.
Me?
I've been feeling a little weird.
My chest started thumping all of a sudden.
Do you know what's wrong with me?
What is this feeling?
Am I sick?
You don't seem to have a fever.
Actually, you're freezing cold!
It'd be bad if he caught a cold.
Go find something to warm him up.
There was a blanket in the basement.
I'll go get it.
Hey, miss,
this is the first time I've ever felt like this.
Why am I thinking about that now?
Sorry about the wait!
It hit nearby.
Huh? Elmo?
I'm going home now.
What do you mean, you're going home?
Hang on a sec, we'll take you home.
I'll go.
Thank you, mister.
But I'll be fine on my own.
Don't be stupid. It's storming outside!
Goodbye.
Hey!
He disappeared.
By some weird coincidence,
he wouldn't happen to be the ghost of the church
that Debito mentioned, would he?
Welcome home.
Did you have fun today?
We will now begin our repentance for the day.
Yes.
Choose the one that should be punished, by naming their card.
La Forza.
L'Eremita.
Tonight's sinner is you, L'Eremita!
What? Why is it me?
Your use of language at the church,
what in the world was that?!
What if the children were to copy you?
So, we're going to have you drink this.
Whatever it is, it stinks.
This is a magical tea which, in a single sip,
would make a ruffian speak properly and beautifully.
Resistance is absolutely futile!
Whatever. All I have to do is drink it, right?
Oh, whatever is the matter, you two?
What?!
Oh, what a wonderful feeling.
It feels as though my body and soul are being cleansed.
just by speaking properly.
I thank you, Luca.
Y-You're welcome...
This isn't good.
This is too disturbing.
Hey, this isn't Debito!
Hurry and change him back!
That won't be possible until the medicine wears off.
What?! When will that be?!
Whatever is the matter, Pace?
Have you taken ill?
No, uh...
That simply won't do.
Have you consumed too much again?
Allow me to rub your back for you.
N-No!
Don't come any closer!
Now, don't be like that.
S-Stop! S-Stop!
Hey there, signorina. Is this your first time in Regalo?
How about I show you around?
Come on, come a little closer...
