"At night, report it to Prince Adri.
Adri: What? Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Messenger: Except for Lady Kauno.
Meryda: Oh no, my child !
Lerinda: How's Kauno?
Messenger: She's been rushed to the hospital, Your Majesty. She's in stable condition. Princess Ailin accompanied her to the hospital, so she called me before I got here.
King Gregory: Good.
Adri: Was the culprit who controlled the people caught?
Messenger: No, because when Lady Kauno caught up to them, they fought and escaped.
Adri: What did the culprit look like?
Messenger: On the hidden camera, it was a woman with a masked face and a witch hat.
Meryda: A woman with a witch hat?
Lerinda: Why, Mery, who is she?
Meryda: That's the woman who's been trying to kill Kauno, and she's the one who killed Emperor Raashi.
Everyone: WHAT?"
Meryda: Your Majesty, if I may ask, I'd like to go home first to check on my child's condition.
King Gregory: No problem.
Lerinda: May I also come with you to check on Ailin's condition?
Meryda: No problem, Your Majesty.
Meanwhile...
Ailin: When will you be discharged?
Kauno: I don't know.
Ailin: It's okay, we don't have any missions yet, so I can stay with you for a while.
Kauno: (sign) Lin, not all the time you need to be with me. You should rest too when you have time.
Ailin: What are you saying? The O.D.A Academy has agreed to let me stay with you until you're discharged.
Kauno: (sign) Hmm...
Ailin: I feel more at ease when I'm with you.
Kauno: Alright...
Kauno (thought): Actually, I don't know what kind of curse that woman is talking about. As much as possible, I don't want you to get too close to me.
Ailin: Huh? Is there a problem?
Kauno: Ah, no.
Kauno noticed a crow watching them from outside.
Witch Assassin: Grr... That woman is always clinging to her. It irritates me.
Dr. Conde: Why don't you just finish her off?
Witch Assassin: I don't know what kind of power that woman has, so let's just wait for now.
One week later...
Ailin: Kauno, you can be discharged now.
Kauno: Is that so, Lin?
Ailin: What's that?
Kauno: Thanks for everything.
Ailin: You're welcome.
When they stepped out of the hospital, a car stopped in front of them.
Woman: Oh no, it looks like we've been caught up.
Kauno: M-mother?
Ailin: Eh? Wait, so that means...
Lerinda: How are you, Lin?
Ailin: Mother?
Lerinda: Did we surprise you?
Ailin: Hehe, yes.
Meryda: How are you, Kauno?
Kauno: I'm fine.
Lerinda: Let's go to our place for now.
They got into the car and left immediately.
While they're on the trip
Lerinda: How are you and Kauno doing?
Ailin: We're okay, Mom. But why did you and Aunt Meryda decide to visit?
Kauno: I think the news reached you, didn't it, Mother?
Meryda: Yes, and I was worried because I wasn't sure if you were okay after being in the hospital.
Kauno: I'm fine now.
(The car stops.)
Meryda: Come on, stop by for a bit.
Lerinda: No, Meryda, we'll , Ailin and I just go home now.
Ailin: What, Mom?
Kauno: Don't be stubborn.
Ailin: Hmm... Kauno.
Kauno: I'll see you tomorrow at the academy.
Ailin: Alright.
(After the car leaves, Kauno goes inside their house.)
Meryda: So, you've met her then.
Kauno: Who?
Meryda: Your sister.
Kauno's face turned red as she looked at her.
Kauno: I don't have a sister, remember that, Mother.
Meryda: Huh!
Kauno: Hm?
Meryda: Ah, sorry.
Kauno: Huh? Why,
Meryda: N-nothing.
Kauno leaves.
Meryda: Those eyes...
In Kauno's room...
Kauno: (sighs) What's with all these messages filling up my phone?
Outside their house, a voice is heard.
Voice: Enjoy yourself while you can, because when you wake up, the first curse will begin.
Meanwhile...
Claire: Fau, it's time to head home.
Don't you want to go home early?
Faurine: Claire, look at what happened last week. Do you think it's normal?
Claire: Um, no. Actually, I have an trauma and im ready to appointment at the O.D.A North Branch.
Faurine: I want to investigate.
General Claudine: What for, Vice Leader Faurine Brize?
Faurine/Claire: Huh?
Claire: Ma'am Claudine?
Faurine: About the people from the North Branch, especially Kauno Dayurashi.
General Claudine: I'm not the one who can answer that, but why are you interested?
Faurine: The mission or tragedy that happened wasn't normal. Almost everyone was traumatized by what happened, but the people from the North Branch seem like nothing's wrong with them.
General Claudine: Hmm, if that's the case, call the others.
Meanwhile
Ailin: May I ask, Mom? On the day someone reported about Kauno, was there another reason why Aunt Meryda came?
Lerinda: Why did you ask?
Ailin: I sense something different in your movements.
Lerinda: Oh, I don't want you to worry, but... Meryda's reaction surprised us when she said the woman who fought Kauno, caught on the hidden camera, is the assassin who's been threatening Kauno's life.
Ailin: What? So...
Lerinda: Lin, calm down, let's let them talk for now.
Ailin: Yes.
Lerinda: I know you're strong my princess.
Ailin: I'll work harder on my training to get stronger.
then..
Chanba: Teacher, what's going on?
General Claudine: We'll have a short meeting, and if you're ready to face the death practice starting tomorrow.
8 P.D : Death practice?
General Claudine: It's a rigorous training, so if you can't handle it, you might as well quit now.
Faurine: I'm in.
Chanba: But Faurine...
Faurine: Do you remember the tragedy that happened last week?
(referring to an incident)
Faurine: Do you remember when they attacked us?
Chanba: If that's the case... the Private Detective won't back down.
General Claudine: Alright, majority rules. Everyone, get ready for tomorrow.
8 P.D : Yes, ma'am!
One day
Raminda: "Guys, they're here," .
Ailin: "Hi"
Vail: "Oh, I've missed you two."
Moiku: "I'm amazed, you really didn't leave Kauno's side."
Aristar: "Uh, hi Kauno."
Kauno: "Hi"
Takari: "Well, that's why I couldn't sleep properly last night. I'm still itchy because the grass is here."
Ailin: "What did you say? And what does it have to do with me? Maybe you didn't take a bath, you're getting old."
Takari: "Grrr, what did you say?"
Vali: "And that's what I've missed that part of our group.
everyone is chuckling
then...
General Marcoshall: "Okay, class, settle down. You have a new mission."
Ailin: "What's it about?"
General Marcoshall: "In the forest. According to witnesses, there are creatures that are taking people and animals to eat."
Vali: "Taking people and animals? You mean they're cannibals?"
General Marcoshall: "Probably."
Kauno: You're wrong. They're zombie goblins.
7 S.D: Huh?
General Marcoshall: What do you know about zombie goblins, Ms. Kauno?
Kauno: When I was in the palace with Ailin, I saw and read a strange book. I saw something about zombie goblins.
Ailin: A book in the palace? So, Kauno, what kind of creatures are they?
Kauno: They have red eyes that are completely black. They don't discriminate when it comes to meat, whether it's animal or human.
Raminda: Ewww, that's scary.
Kauno: Thinking about it, maybe there's a group like them that came near the source of the crime.
General Marcoshall: You're right, Ms. Kauno. Are you ready to face the mission?
8 S.D. Biker: Yes, we're ready.
