(Three Months Later)
Several months have now passed here in Villicia. The Lilly Mond feels very comfortable here and has decided to stay at the station as a kind of main station... The good thing about this is that Villicia's head of security, Celia Carmelia Jimenez, has become good friends with Sophie and Fiona. We also cannot forget that they are located near the Basque Kingdom and also the Kingdom of San Guimereas, which is another good thing.
Sophie: "Hahh...damn."
(Crash!)
Sophie: "Could someone help me carry this..."
Lina: "Here...I'll help you."
Sophie: "Where's Fiona?"
Lina: "Fiona is working on some documents..."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona was working on the documents and reports... because as a Crow, she had to write a report of ten thousand words every month.
Fiona: "Ahhh..."
She went through the documents.
Fiona: "...Hmm?...This document is in the Villicia language..."
Dark Umbrella agreed to let the Lilly Mond stay under one condition, namely that they move to the station located in the middle of Villicia, at the border of San Guimereas and the Basque Kingdom... To do this, they did not have to do much... because the station they bought is only one hour away from San Madrid. That means the cafeteria is now a little farther away, but it is still manageable... What annoyed Sophie, of course, was that she now had to... completely get used to everything again.
She picked it up.
Fiona: "Hmm?"
(Dong)
Fiona: "Huh?"
Mr Herold: "Psst...Fiona."
Fiona: "Ughh...Herold!"
She took off the hat. He came out.
Fiona: "You're alive..."
Mr Herold: "Yes."
Fiona: "Why didn't you say anything?"
Mr Herold: "...I...had to process quite a lot..."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Mr Herold: "Crane is still alive...but he doesn't want anything to do with humans anymore...Most of the animals and spirits of Wonderland don't want anything to do with humans anymore...They think they destroyed Wonderland...That is somewhat true...but it wasn't your fault...Or your friends'..."
Fiona: "...How is Finrow?"
Mr Herold: "...He's the same...He knows that you had nothing to do with it, and neither did your friends...but he doesn't want anything to do with humans..."
Fiona: "Why did you stay?"
Mr Herold: "...Well...I have nothing else to do, besides...I don't think it's fair toward humans...I mean, neither you nor your people did anything wrong...And...well...I like you."
Fiona: "Oh...I see..."
Mr Herold: "Don't look like that...I'm sure Crane and Finrow will come back someday..."
Fiona: "...I hope you're right."
She read through the report.
Fiona: "Mmm...man...I can't read the Villicia language very well."
Mr Herold: "Let me see...I can read it, though I don't have very good memories associated with it...because my last contract partner was...from Villicia...well, she lived there."
Fiona: "Oh yeah...I see. Here."
She gave it to him. The rabbit in the suit read through it.
Mr Herold: "Hmm?... This is just a report about the Basque Kingdom."
Fiona: "Oh, I see..."
She took it back.
Fiona: "Okay...then...there's nothing important?"
Mr Herold: "No...Only something about the lower area...of the Mariana Trench."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Mr Herold: "The Mariana Trench...is the deepest sea...It is located near Villicia...San Guimereas, the Basques...and other kingdoms as well, such as a part of Grazburg and Weimar..."
Fiona: "I see..."
Mr Herold: "Hmm...Well, I'll be going."
Fiona: "Okay."
He went back inside her hat.
Fiona: "Hmmm...Crane..."
(Knock Knock)
Fiona: "Come in?"
Sophie: "Hahhh...Fiona, there you are."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "Who were you talking to?"
Fiona: "Herold."
Sophie: "He's alive?!"
Fiona: "Yes, all of them are alive...but...they don't want anything to do with what happened anymore...only Mr Herold came back."
Sophie: "I see."
Fiona stood up.
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "And how is the move going?"
Sophie: "Good..."
Fiona: "Sorry that we couldn't stay. I really tried..."
Sophie: "Hey...it's okay..."
Fiona: "Hahhh..."
Sophie: "Hmm?" left
Fiona looked somewhat annoyed.
Fiona: "The people up there in Dark Umbrella keep trying to make things difficult for me..."
Sophie: "Hmmm...I understand..."
Fiona: "Daisy...quit."
Sophie: "What?!"
Fiona: "Yes...she quit...I was just as shocked as you are right now."
Sophie: "Why though?!"
Sophie looked confused. Daisy is a really reliable person. That she Left is a Big Loss For everyone
Fiona: "Mhm...strange."
Sophie: "And who will replace her?"
Fiona: "Hmm...You."
Sophie: "Huh?..."
Fiona: "Ms Valentine has decided...that you...will become a Crow again."
Sophie: "Wait...wait...wait...Is she serious?...Why didn't she call me?"
Fiona: "Because it isn't safe...The others, like Einsenheim, are against it...And let me guess, you are too?"
Sophie: "You can damn well count on it. I'm not some damn product...They want me, then they don't...They want me, then they don't..."
Fiona: "I understand what you mean...I got the information from Marcus..."
Sophie: "Are there any other candidates?"
Fiona: "Hmm...Yes...Do you remember the boy who was in our class?"
Sophie: "Hmm?..."
Fiona: "He had a scar over his left eye...I...think his name was Dante?"
Sophie: "Dante from the Bionk family?...Seriously."
Fiona: "I wasn't satisfied with it either...Dante was a problem child...So, I don't know..."
Sophie: "What did he do to become a Crow?"
Fiona: "You have to admit...Dante is a very talented fighter...You should ignore him...but...as far as I'm concerned...I don't completely ignore him..."
Sophie: "Ohhh...I remember...Dante deliberately dropped the burning liquid on your arm during chemistry class...right?"
Fiona: "Yes...He didn't like Marcus, and he didn't like that Marcus...well...was friends with me."
Sophie: "What a reason to burn someone's arm...but I haven't seen him in a long time."
Fiona: "Me neither...The last time was so long ago, I don't think I was even a Crow yet..."
Sophie: "Anyway...how are you doing with the reports? Should I help you?"
Fiona: "No, it's okay...I'm basically finished anyway."
Sophie: "Hmmm."
Fiona stood up and put the reports into her bag. The Reports...Probaly The Most Stressfull things every week you have to Make an Report if you don't Do It It Might Give a lot Of problem Problem With Wages ,Less Wage or Even an Interview If this happens More on Time in Two week as an exapmple as a crow They have to Write atleast 8000 Words Reports Every Week is it Stressfull of Course it is but still it is alteast Safe and Will Help A lot With Investegation.
Sophie: "When is your meeting?"
Fiona: "After Marcus..."
(Radio...)
Fiona: "Hmm?"
She picked up the phone.
Fiona: "Hello?"
Marcus: "Hello, Fiona...I'm already here...You'd better be on time."
Fiona: "Yes..."
Marcus: "On time. Not like last time when you were an hour late."
Fiona: "Yes...yes..."
She hung up.
Fiona: "Alright...I have to go."
Sophie: "Okay...Take care of yourself."
Fiona: "Mhm."
She took her things and left the building. She took a carriage.
Fiona: "Hmm..."
(4 Hours Later)
Marcus: "Oh...there you are."
Fiona: "Hmm...Are you finished?"
Marcus: "Yes...But you have to wait a little."
Fiona: "What did they talk about?"
Marcus: "To be completely honest...the usual...Reports...documents and also John Titor's scientific development."
Fiona: "Hmmm..."
Marcus: "Alright...I'll be going."
Fiona: "Okay."
Marcus: "Good luck."
He walked away. Marcus is In Hurry as he Really Does Not Like Writing Reports but He Likes Fiona and Sophie in school he even fall First for sophie who Rejectet Him ..but Then he Fall in Love With Fiona and she did Not Respound atleast she said give me Time to think but then he left the Class to go the Assasin and spy class.
Fiona: "Thank you..."
The door opened.
Ms Valentine: "Oh..."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Ms Valentine: "Fiona, come in."
She came in.
Ms Valentine: "Excuse me...but why are you on time this time?"
Fiona: "I can gladly leave and come back again, then I'll be late again...I was late that day because of accidents. You know that."
Ms Valentine: "Sure...sure...And your reports?"
Fiona: "Yes, here."
She gave her the documents.
Ms Valentine: "Great..."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Ms Valentine: "And...how are the Lilly Mond doing?"
Fiona: "Good...I think..."
Ms Valentine: "How...is Sophie?"
Fiona: "Don't pretend that you want to care about her."
Ms Valentine: "Hahh...I know you're angry with me because of how I treated Sophie...but that wasn't entirely my decision."
Fiona: "One thing I have to say, Ms Valentine...Lady Natasha may have been a bad person...but...she never let herself be intimidated...by cowards like Einsenheim..."
Ms Valentine: "Hmmm..."
Fiona: "Hmmm..."
Ms Valentine: "Either way, I won't be the leader of Dark Umbrella for much longer."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Ms Valentine: "Now that Jose is gone, I can at least rest...By the way...I told Marcus as well...the elections are...over."
Fiona: "And who won?"
Ms Valentine: "As you know, there are several groups of officers...The Mauer, the Olderworth and the Rocons...Well...the Olderworth and the Mauer received the same number of votes."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Ms Valentine: "That means...there will be two leaders...You Crows are allowed to decide which one you would like to have as your commander...Marcus chose the Olderworth. Rio and Colletta chose the Mauer...And which one do you choose?"
Fiona: "The Mauer is Einsenheim's group, right?"
Ms Valentine: "Yes."
Fiona: "And the Olderworth?"
Ms Valentine: "They are led by Miss Minerv..."
Fiona: "Then I'll take the Olderworth."
Ms Valentine: "Hehe...Of course...You really don't like Einsenheim."
Fiona: "No...He's a coward."
Ms Valentine: "I see...Anyway...Tomorrow you will be led by the two of them from now on...And...I...am gone..."
Fiona: "Hmm."
It was quiet for a moment.
Ms Valentine: "You won't miss me...hehe...I know the thing with Sophie...also didn't make Meliodas happy..."
She stood up and took her things.
Ms Valentine: "Surely people won't miss me...I've made many mistakes. Tom Fog, for example, and then Sophie's and Wonderland's..."
Fiona: "Uh..."
Ms Valentine: "It's okay..."
Fiona: "Hahh..."
Fiona sighed and walked toward Ms Valentine.
Fiona: "You were a good leader, Ms Valentine...Everyone makes mistakes...We're human."
Ms Valentine: "And when we make mistakes, people die..."
She looked at Fiona.
Ms Valentine: "My goodness...you've really grown..."
She stroked her hair.
Ms Valentine: "And you've become good..."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Ms Valentine: "...I'm sorry...if I caused trouble for your friends..."
Fiona hugged Ms Valentine.
Ms Valentine: "Huh..."
Fiona: "...I never said I was angry with you..."
Ms Valentine: "My goodness...hehe...Are you trying to comfort me right now...or are you doing this because you liked me?"
Fiona: "Both."
Ms Valentine: "Hehe...You're cute...You haven't changed...Be good, Fiona...I'm proud of you."
Fiona: "Why are you talking as if this is a farewell?"
Ms Valentine: "...Because it is possible that you won't see me again..."
Dante: "Ms Valentine?"
The door opened.
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Dante: "Oh...Fiona?"
Fiona: "Dante."
Dante: "Hehe...What's with that look? Aren't you happy to see me?"
Fiona: "Exactly, damn right."
Dante: "Hahh...You've changed. You're not shy anymore."
Ms Valentine: "What is it...Dante?"
Dante: "Oh...I just heard that you're leaving...I wanted to say goodbye."
Ms Valentine: "Hmm..."
Dante: "I may be one of the Mauer people...but hey...I just hope we never have another woman as a leader."
Fiona: "Hmmm..."
Dante: "And what are you going to do afterward?...Oh...women's stuff?"
Fiona: "Excuse me, I'm leaving."
She walked past him.
Dante: "Woow...woow...hehe...Did I bother you...Fiona?"
Fiona: "You stink...get lost."
Dante: "How is your arm?"
Fiona: "Hmm."
Dante: "Oh...or Sophie...the loser was kicked out of the Crows."
Fiona: "Mmmhh!"
She turned around and grabbed him by his suit.
Fiona: "Don't you dare talk about her like that...Unlike you...she has morals and is decent...and you...are a fool..."
Dante: "Hmph."
Fiona: "Tssss...go to hell..."
She let him go.
Fiona: "...Hmph..."
She walked in the other direction.
Dante: "Hehehe...Wait, hehe, I was going to leave anyway..."
He walked away.
Ms Valentine: "Hahh...Fiona...Just ignore him."
Fiona: "Sorry..."
Ms Valentine: "It's okay...Oh, by the way...Since I'm leaving tomorrow...there's one more thing you need to know. I had a mission for you, Lilly Mond...Well...the problem is that the Mauer rejected it...but the Olderworth accepted it...so you could work on it since you chose them."
Fiona: "Sure...What's the mission?"
Ms Valentine: "In the Basque Kingdom, in the Mariana Trench, a seeker contacted us, but shortly before something happened...all that could be heard were his screams, and later they found nothing except his hand...which means he was murdered...However, he said that he was worried that someone was planning something for the Basque Kingdom...Meliodas knows about it. I think he could explain the details to the Lilly Mond...Alright...Fiona...It was a pleasure."
Fiona: "Hmmm...Likewise...Then I'll be going."
Ms Valentine: "Hehe...Take care of yourself, okay."
She held her cheeks.
Ms Valentine: "Take care of yourself..."
Fiona: "Sure."
Ms Valentine gave Fiona a kiss on the forehead.
Ms Valentine: "Good..."
She let her go.
Fiona: "Then I'll be going."
Ms Valentine: "Okay."
Fiona slowly walked away...but then she stopped.
Ms Valentine: "Hmmm..."
Fiona: "Hahh."
She slowly walked back toward Ms Valentine.
Ms Valentine: "Huh?"
And gave her a kiss on the cheek.
(Smooch)
Fiona: "...Thank you...Mother..."
She walked away.
Ms Valentine: "Mother?...Uh...My goodness, I'm not that old..."
Marcus: "Oh..."
Ms Valentine: "Marcus, why are you back here?"
Marcus: "I forgot my headband...because you still have it."
Ms Valentine: "Ah...right."
Marcus: "By the way...when Fiona said Mother, she probably meant that she liked seeing you as a mother..."
Ms Valentine: "Uh...Really?"
Marcus: "You took care of Fiona...You also took care of her when she was a child...And when she couldn't sleep at night...you allowed her to sleep next to you in your bed..."
Ms Valentine: "Oh...but not only her...hehe...it was the same with Sophie...Oh...I have to talk to Sophie..."
(The Next Day)
Sophie: "You wanted to speak with me?"
Ms Valentine: "...Yes..."
Sophie: "Hahh...you're leaving...right?"
Ms Valentine: "Yes..."
Sophie: "Hmm..."
Ms Valentine: "I just wanted to talk to you for a moment...Sophie...About what happened back then. I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything for you."
Sophie: "It's okay...Ms Valentine...Both Fiona and I...like you...after all, you took care of us..."
Ms Valentine: "Hehe...yes...You two were so cute...when you were asleep..."
Sophie: "And you were so warm that we saw you as our mother...a...young mother..."
Ms Valentine: "Hmmm..."
Sophie: "I'm going to miss you."
Ms Valentine: "Ugh...oh...okay..."
Sophie: "Hahhh...Fiona fell asleep right after she came back...Let me guess...Dante was there."
Ms Valentine: "Yes..."
Sophie: "Hmmm...Before you leave, I wanted to give you something."
She took out a hair accessory.
Sophie: "...You gave this to me...so...I...made one for you..."
Ms Valentine: "Oh...thank you."
She took it.
Sophie: "...Mmm..."
Ms Valentine: "Hahh...You two have really grown up...Luckily, you're friends now...hehe..."
Sophie: "Yes..."
Ms Valentine wiped Sophie's tears away.
Ms Valentine: "...Now you're the one crying...and Fiona is the quiet one now...hehe..."
Sophie: "Mm...I never cry...just...today....."
Ms Valentine briefly hugged Sophie...then released her.
Ms Valentine: "Don't worry...we might see each other again...Take care of yourselves..."
Sophie: "Mhm."
She took her things and walked away.
Sophie: "(Sobbing)...hahhh...Saying goodbye to her...is harder than I thought..."
