At last, the Dark Flower contract has been settled. Now the Phantoms are about to receive a surprise of their own, because they are getting a house... a guild building.
(Previously)
Diego: "Wooow."
Nacht: "This is... such an amazing building."
Emma: "This is the Phantom Guild. Hehe. Have fun. It has eight rooms... four bedrooms, two kitchens, two showers, a basement, and three bathrooms. Enjoy."
Diego: "Oh.!"
Nacht: "That's... cool."
Kisa: "Yeah."
Charlotte: "Awesome."
Jeanne: "Hehe... I'll sleep on the very top floor."
Mona: "I don't care where I sleep."
Jeanne: "Diego, how about we share a room? Hehe."
Diego: "Ugh... what?"
Emma: "Are you two together?"
Jeanne: "No... but there are only five of us."
Emma: "True."
Jeanne: "So? What do you think, Diego? Hehe."
Diego: "I can sleep in the basement. Hehe."
Emma: "Or on the couch where Jeanne wants to sleep. There are actually two."
Jeanne: "See?"
Diego: "Fine by me."
(End of the previous events)
Diego: "Mmmm!"
Diego ended up sharing a room with Jeanne. Naturally, he was very shy.
Jeanne: "...Mmm..."
Jeanne liked getting up in the middle of the night to drink plenty of water.
Diego: "Mmm..."
Jeanne: "(Yawns)..."
Jeanne lay back down... but while asleep, she accidentally fell onto Diego's couch.
Diego: "Ughh."
Jeanne: "Hahhhh...(ZZZ...)"
Diego: "Mmm..."
Jeanne was wearing pajamas... and because of the cold, she cuddled up against Diego.
Diego: "Oh... Jeanne..."
Jeanne: "Mmm?..."
Diego: "Could you... please go back to your bed?"
Jeanne: "...I just got up... I don't want my body to wake up completely...(ZZZZ)"
Diego: "Oh... okay..."
(Meanwhile)
Nacht: "...Good night, Kisa."
Kisa: "Good night, Nacht."
She kissed his cheek.
Kisa: "Mwah!"
Nacht: "Mmm..."
Kisa: "Come on... I want one too."
Nacht: "Mmm."
He kissed her cheek.
Kisa: "Hehe."
Nacht: "Goodness... your cheeks are so soft."
Kisa: "Hehe... thank you... well, I'm heading back to my room now. Good night, Nacht."
She left the room.
Kisa: "Mmm."
Kisa held her heart, her face glowing red. It really was true that she and Nacht were a couple now... A marriage proposal?... Nacht had actually proposed the night before... Well, it wasn't exactly a marriage proposal. It was more like an engagement.
Kisa: "...Mmm..."
Kisa opened the door again.
Nacht: "Hm?"
Kisa: "Um... Nacht."
Nacht: "Yeah?"
Kisa: "...Would you like to become a father someday?"
(Faaahhh!!!!)
(Wa... wa... wa!)
Nacht fell out of bed in shock. He stood up with bright red cheeks.
Nacht: "W what... me... a father?"
Kisa: "Yeah... and I'll be the mother?"
Nacht: "Uh... isn't that a little too soon, Kisa?"
Kisa: "I don't mean now. I mean in the future."
Nacht: "...Well... first I have to find my sister... and kill her. Only then will the curse end. Don't forget, curses are passed down... which means our children could be cursed too."
Kisa: "Oh... is that how it is?"
Nacht misunderstood her question, but one thing was certain... if there was one woman he wanted to build a family with... it was Kisa.
Kisa: "Sorry... then... um... I'll go back. Good night."
Nacht: "Okay..."
This time, she really did return to her own room.
(Meanwhile)
Mona: "Hahhh..."
(Knock... Knock)
Mona: "Huh?"
She opened the door.
Mona: "Ugh."
It was dark.
Charlotte: "Boo!"
Mona: "Ugh... what are you doing, Charlotte?"
Charlotte: "Hehehe... I figured you couldn't sleep either. How about we try that strange box they call... a television?"
Mona: "...Hmm?... Okay."
They walked over to it.
Charlotte: "How... do you turn this thing on?"
Mona: "No idea..."
Charlotte: "Maybe... press that."
(Click)
The television turned on, and a movie started playing immediately.
Mona: "Ugh."
Charlotte: "Amazing!"
Mona: "This is unbelievable... What are those people doing in there?... Are they trapped?"
Charlotte: "Or... are they being forced?... Hey! Hey!"
She knocked on the screen.
Charlotte: "If you need help, let us know!"
Mona: "Um... I don't think that works. Why can't they hear us?"
Charlotte: "Maybe that's why it's called a television... Hmm..."
She picked up the remote and rewound it.
Charlotte: "Ghh!"
Mona: "Did you see that? They went backwards."
Charlotte: "Huh?"
Mona: "Huh?... This is even more confusing than the contract meeting."
(Flashback)
Peter: "Now then, let me explain what we do. We take young guilds under contract... and they complete jobs for us. Understand?"
Diego: "Mhm."
Nacht: "I see... then why don't you do them yourselves?"
Kisa: "Nacht."
Peter: "Hahaha... good question. Well, it's simple. We... don't have enough experienced fighters or mages. You understand? That way it's safer, and many young guilds struggle because they hardly have any clients. Right?"
Nacht: "Yeah... that makes sense."
Peter: "At first, we won't give you dangerous jobs. There are ranks."
Nacht: "Ranks?"
Peter: "Exactly. That way we know who can handle what. We'll let you know when your next job comes. How about... we buy... I mean rent... a place for you?"
Diego: "Oh."
Nacht: "You... can do that?"
Peter: "Of course, my dear friends."
Diego: "That would be... nice."
Charlotte: "Yeah!"
Nacht: "That would certainly help us."
Peter: "Any requests?"
Diego: "Hmm... just... please not near a forest. Somewhere in the city, but not somewhere cramped."
(End of the flashback)
Charlotte: "That guy really got on my nerves."
Mona: "Yeah... he talks a lot."
They sat down on the couch.
Mona: "So... how's life going?"
Charlotte: "Single... but good."
Mona: "Single but good?... Hahh... same here."
Charlotte: "Yeah."
Mona: "Funny. We never really liked or hated each other before... but now... I guess we're friends."
Charlotte: "Yeah... We were both rejected by the guys we loved. I was in love with Nacht, and you were in love with Diego... But your situation is worse, because Diego cheated on you."
Mona: "No... we were never together."
Charlotte: "Yeah, but he loved you."
Mona: "Mmm..."
Charlotte: "I never had a chance against Kisa... She's cute... kind... and caring."
Mona: "You're a good person too. Don't worry."
Charlotte: "I feel like I don't even need a relationship."
Mona: "Me neither. Let's just watch this strange box."
Charlotte: "Yeah."
They watched the movie.
Mona: "This is boring."
Charlotte: "Yep."
Mona: "Hahhh."
(A few minutes later)
Mona: "(Sniff)... Seriously... why does the boy have to die now? He was such a kind and likable guy."
Charlotte: "(Sniff)... Women can be cruel too."
Mona: "...I guess it's just human nature...(Sniff)... That woman is a total bitch... Seriously... she cheated on him even though he was so kind... and always took care of her."
Charlotte: "What was her name again? Emily?"
Mona: "Like Emma, except it ends with 'ily' and only has one M."
Charlotte: "Come on... let's watch something else. What's this?"
(Click)
Mona: "Ugh! (Blushes!)"
Charlotte: "Holy crap... th that... They're allowed to show that?!... What are they doing?... They can't just... ki..."
Mona: "Goodness... hhhhh... I wish I could experience something like that too... Mmm."
Charlotte: "(Sweating)... Are you crazy?!"
Mona: "Huh?... What?"
Charlotte changed the channel.
Mona: "No, I want to watch it."
Charlotte: "No. That's for perverted eyes. It's not appropriate."
Mona: "Come on... if we can't experience it ourselves... at least we can watch it. Imagine you and Nacht doing something like that."
Charlotte: "He's with Kisa now... that's not right... okay?"
Mona: "So you don't love him anymore?"
Charlotte: "Ugh... I... um..."
Mona: "See?"
Charlotte: "And you're imagining yourself with Diego... aren't you?"
Mona: "Yeah."
Charlotte: "That's disgusting. His wife is dead."
Mona: "So what?"
Charlotte: "You have no morals."
Mona: "I don't care... as if you did."
Charlotte: "I do have morals... and boundaries."
The two of them kept arguing until the channel suddenly changed again.
Television: "Hehehehe... The murderer quietly sneaked up behind the two women."
Mona: "Huh?"
Charlotte: "Huh?... What the heck is this now?"
Mona: "Is he... talking about us?"
Television: "He crept closer and closer... then stabbed the woman in the chest."
Mona: "Huhh!"
Charlotte: "Oh no!"
The two clung to each other.
Charlotte: "Aaaaaaaaarghhh!"
Mona: "Aaaaarghh!"
Diego: "Why are you screaming?"
Charlotte: "Aaaaaaaaarghhh!"
Mona: "Aaaaaaaaaaarghhh!"
Mona and Charlotte hit him with a bat.
(Crash!)
(Dong!)
(Aauwuuuhuhuhu!)
Diego: "What was that for?!"
Mona: "Oh... it's just you."
Charlotte: "And here I thought I'd have to hit someone again."
Jeanne: "What's going on here?"
Jeanne came out as well, followed by Nacht and Kisa. Everyone gathered outside.
Jeanne: "(Yawns)... Hm?... Diego."
Diego: "Mmm..."
He had a huge bump on his head.
Charlotte: "Uh..."
Jeanne: "...Hmm?"
They explained everything.
Nacht: "So you can really watch things with that?"
Kisa: "Woooowww."
Charlotte: "Yeah... exactly."
Mona: "I'm sorry."
Diego: "Mmm."
Jeanne gently stroked Diego's head.
Diego: "That hurts."
Jeanne: "Oh come on... does it feel better now?"
Diego: "Yeah... it doesn't hurt as much anymore."
Jeanne: "Hehe."
Diego: "Mmm."
Nacht: "Alright then... Let's all stay awake and watch this movie."
They stayed awake and watched the film.
Diego: "Aaaaaarghh!"
Jeanne: "Hhehe... Diego, you're so cute."
Diego: "What? Of course I'm scared... and those two already fell asleep..."
Jeanne: "Just let them."
Jeanne leaned against his shoulder.
Jeanne: "You still have me."
Then she rested her head on his stomach, and all he could see was her face.
Diego: "Hey..."
Jeanne: "...You're really cute."
Diego: "Mmmm..."
(Meanwhile)
Emma: "Hehehe... They watched the movie... Hehe... That was adorable."
Luuk: "Now listen, Emma. That's not appropriate."
Emma: "Oh, don't be such a buzzkill... Oh... wait... Are they about to kiss?!"
Luuk: "What? Who?"
Emma: "The blonde girl and the black-haired guy."
Luuk: "Let me see... Ughhhh..."
Emma: "Haaahhh...(Blushes)... Y
(Back to the others)
Diego: "Ughh."
Jeanne had her hand on his cheek.
Jeanne: "...Hmm?"
Diego: "Jeanne... are you... in love with me?"
Jeanne: "Who knows... what do you think?"
Diego: "Ugh... yes."
Jeanne: "No... I'm crazy about you."
Diego: "Uh... but we barely know each other."
Jeanne: "Maybe... is that a problem for you?"
Diego: "...No... but for now... let's keep it between us."
Jeanne: "Of course."
