After they finally reached the Basque Kingdom, a small accident happened. However, this accident caused Sophie to almost be cursed by something, and Fiona is worried about her.
Sophie: "SO the food is ready."
Fiona: "Okay...put the food down carefully."
She helped her.
Fiona: "Now come with me."
Sophie: "Huh?"
She took Sophie's hand and brought her into the room.
Sophie: "Wow, what is it?"
Fiona: "Hahh...I want to give you something...calm down."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Sophie...I'm slowly thinking that you should have it again. I talked to the Dark Umbrella."
She held a pistol...the pistol with the ability.
Sophie: "Ugh...that's the pistol from back then."
Fiona: "Take it...I did get in trouble, but as long as nothing happens to you, that's what matters."
Sophie: "But...Fiona...they definitely yelled at you."
Fiona: "No...they only took away my salary for two months. It's not that bad here."
She placed it in her hand.
Fiona: "...As long as it keeps you safe...I don't care how much money...or whatever else I have to sacrifice."
She went back.
Sophie: "Hmm."
She looked at the pistol.
Sophie: "..."
Fiona: "Hmm?...Hey, don't you want to eat?"
Sophie: "Oh...sure, I'll...come."
She went to the dining table.
Sophie: "Oh...Rosalie, you're eating with us...If you want, I can bring the food to you."
Rosalie: "Not necessary."
Fiona: "Hmm..."
They sat down.
Rosalie: "Do you feel better now?"
Sophie: "Yes...I just wonder what it was."
Fiona: "That was a key...or rather...a cursed key."
Sophie: "Did I somehow swallow it?"
Rosalie: "No, dummy. Something like that only happens when you have a spirit inside you."
Sophie: "A spirit...but...I thought you could see them? I thought Violet and Fiona could see spirits."
Violet: "Not every spirit."
Fiona: "Yes...there are spirits you can't see...unless you're a witch. That means Rosalie should actually have been able to see it."
Rosalie: "Hahaha...funny."
Sophie: "(Sweats)...mm."
Fiona: "That wasn't a joke."
Rosalie: "Okay."
They continued eating.
Sophie: "Okay, but...what exactly do we have to do here in the Basque Kingdom? To be honest, I don't want to stay here in the sea for a year."
Rosalie: "Hahhhh...after we eat, Sophie...after we eat...Hmm?"
Hosenträger: "Mmm?"
Rosika: "Hmm?"
Rosalie: "(...How cute)...(Coughs)...Rosika and Hosenträger, you two are the only ones whose ages I don't know. How old are you?"
Rosika: "I'm 18."
Hosenträger: "And I'm 13...I think."
Sophie: "You think? How the hell did he pass the exam?"
Fiona: "Honestly...that's a mystery to me too, but shhh."
Hosenträger: "(Sweats)...I heard you...By 'I think,' I meant that I was born in the Dark Umbrella."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Ugh...whose son are you? Or did you simply come to us as...a baby?"
Hosenträger: "My...mother...is someone you know."
Sophie: "Okay, who?"
Hosenträger: "Minerv Mitrova."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "You're her son?...You don't even look alike."
Hosenträger: "No...Even though she is my mother, she wants nothing to do with me. I'm the child of an old marriage."
Rosalie: "Oh...fuck, I forgot. Fräulein Minerv may be calm and...serious, but when it comes to relationships, she had so many that I would need the whole day to name them all."
Sophie: "Ughhhh...I have to take missions from someone like that now?"
Fiona: "I really should have chosen Einsenheim."
Sophie: "Hahaha..."
(After the meal)
After eating, Rosalie wanted to discuss the mission.
Rosalie: "So...now that we're finished eating. By the way, Sophie, that was delicious...we have to talk about the mission."
She took out a screen.
Rosalie: "The seeker Jimmy James was found dead...His last pictures were of him discovering two Dark Umbrella members...Joker and...The Finger...Before he was discovered, Joker waved, and then it was over...but...there is even a recording because his camera can film and take pictures at the same time...Here it is."

Jimmy: "Hahhh...hahh...Those are members of the Hunters..."
He filmed them carefully. Then The Joker turned around, smiled, and waved.
Jimmy: "Huh!"
Then a voice could be heard.
The Skeleton: "How dare you film others like that."
(Splach!)
Jimmy: "Aaarghhhhh..."
The recording continued.
The Joker: "Oh...how cute..."
She approached the camera and held it up so she could be seen.
The Joker: "Did you think you could just spy on us?...hehehe...Hey, Skeleton, hold this."
He held it.
The Joker: "Hmm."
She looked at Jimmy, grabbed his cheeks, and stuck her fingers into his eyes.
Jimmy: "Aaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhh..."
The Joker: "Nooo, everything will be okay."
She threw him down from the building.
(Crash!)
The Joker: "Oops."
Sophie: "Ughuh..."
Fiona: "Hahhh..."
Rosika: "Oh no...the...poor man."
The recording stopped.
Rosalie: "...That was The Joker."
Sophie: "That bitch."
Rosalie: "Hahhh...Jimmy was partly responsible for it. He wasn't actually allowed to film her without permission."
Fiona: "Hmm...and what now?...What exactly is the mission?"
Rosalie: "We have to find out why the Hunters are here, what they are planning...and why The Joker allowed herself to be discovered."
Sophie: "Ugh...right."
Fiona: "Yes...It's strange. Joker is smart and would never be so careless...Also, killing Jimmy directly like that is strange...It's almost as if they want to tell us something."
Rosalie: "Either they're planning something or they want to threaten us that they won't hold back anymore...Either way...in honor of Jimmy's death, we have to find out."
Sophie: "Mhm."
Fiona: "Sure."
Rosalie: "So...The Joker seems to like you two...Sophie and Fiona."
Sophie: "(Sweats)...Uhm."
Fiona: "Well...maybe...but only because she wants to torture us."
Sophie: "Yeah."
Rosalie: "Anyway...we mustn't forget that she is a monster..."
(Radio)
Rosalie: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Rosalie?"
Rosalie went to the radio.
Rosalie: "Hello?"
Minerv: "Hello, Rosalie...important news...put it on speaker so everyone can hear."
Rosalie: "Sure."
(Click)
(Beep)
Minerv: "We just received terrible news...Basauri Prison...was almost destroyed."
Rosalie: "What?"
Minerv: "I want you to make your way there...The Joker is most likely still there...You'd better hurry."
Rosalie: "Sure."
They stood up.
Rosalie: "Alright. Let's go."
They went to the vehicles and started driving.
Rosalie: "We'll stop at that location."
(After a few minutes)
Rosalie: "Okay...go inside."
Sophie: "Ugh...this...is creepy."
It was a small, circular Ubot...but only four people could fit inside.
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Rosalie: "So...Sophie, Fiona, Rosika, and I are going...The rest stay here and search for this person."
She showed them a photo.
Rosalie: "His name is Felix Berthen...He's a journalist. He hopefully has quite a bit of information for us...Now go."
They went inside and used the small Ubot.
Sophie: "Mmmm...is...this safe?"
Fiona: "Mmm..."
Rosika: "Hmm."
Rosalie: "Hahh."
It started moving.
Sophie: "But what do they want from the prison?"
Rosalie: "No idea."
Fiona: "And why so directly?"
Rosalie: "Yes...strange, indeed."
It continued downward.
Sophie: "How long does it take to get down there?"
Rosalie: "Deep...very deep..."
She looked out of the window. An eye appeared.
Sophie: "Aaargh!"
She hugged Fiona.
Fiona: "Wow...calm down, Sophie. Are you afraid of the sea?"
Sophie: "Of course I'm afraid!"
Rosalie: "That was just a whale...calm down."
It continued deeper.
(1 Hour Later)
(Beep...beep)
Sophie: "Ugh."
Rosalie: "...Damn."
Fiona: "Ugh."
They saw the prison. It was enormous and glowing.
Sophie: "Good, we're...almost...there."
It stopped. They got out.
Sophie: "Hmm."
(Clack!) (Clack!)
Policeman: "Ugh...what are you doing here...Oh...are you from the Dark Umbrella?"
Rosalie: "Yes."
Policeman: "I see..."
Rosalie: "Anything new?"
Policeman: "No...That woman simply disappeared without a trace...deep inside the prison...probably in the darker level...but...that wouldn't be good."
Sophie: "Why?"
Policeman: "Because...the shell...the mermaid's shell...is also down there. And if it gets destroyed...or taken...it will be dangerous."
(Meanwhile)
The Joker: "(Hums) (Hums)..."
She looked around.
The Joker: "So...where do they keep it?"
Policemen appeared.
The Joker: "Huh?"
Policeman: "Hands up or I'll shoot."
The Joker: "Hmph."
Several Beasters appeared and slashed them apart.
(Splach!)
Policeman: "Aaaaaaaaaaarghhhh!"
Policeman: "Help!"
The Joker: "These belong to you, my sweethearts."
She continued walking.
The Joker: "Hmm?"
(Meanwhile)
(Clack!) (Clack!) (Clack!)
Rosalie: "Come on...come on...we have to stop her."
Sophie: "Hahh."
Fiona: "Tsss..."
Sophie: "There she is."
The Joker: "Huh?...Hmm?"
She looked closely, then smiled.
The Joker: "Oh...who do we have here...hehehe."
Rosalie: "Stop right there, Joker!"
She stopped. She Looks at Rosalie and then smiles
The Joker: "Hmm...Oh...I know you too...Rosalie, right?"
Sophie: "What are you doing here...what are you planning?"
The Joker: "Always so direct, Sophie...mmm...it would be nice if you were also direct with me in another way...hehe."
Sophie: "(Sweats)...Could she mean something perverted?"
Fiona: "Quite possible."
The Joker: "As I can see...Fiona is here too...Hehehe..."
Fiona: "Hahhh...what the hell do you want here...Joker?"
The Joker: "Sorry...even if I could tell you...I wouldn't...Ohhh...new clothes, you two...mmm...Sophie's shoulders are so smooth...and Fiona's shoulders are also so smooth...ohh...hot."
Sophie: "You want to take the mermaid's shell?"
The Joker: "Ding ding...Correct, my dear."
Sophie: "Are you insane?...Without the shell...there could be a catastrophe."
The Joker: "Yes, but the shell isn't here...hehe."
Rosalie: "Huh?"
The Joker: "Apparently, they changed its location...What a shame...the whole thing was probably for nothing...but hey...at least I got to see you two, Sophie and Fiona...hehe."
She continued walking.
The Joker: "...I have to go...so..."
(Wushh)
She suddenly appeared in front of them.
Sophie: "Ugh, what?"
Rosalie: "Damn."
Fiona: "Ghh."
The Joker: "...Wuuuu..."
She made a strange gesture with her hand. They fell unconscious to the ground.
The Joker: "...Nooh...that's cute...hehe."
