On the night of Christ's birth, a Gray Wolf cub is born.
Ironic, isn't it?
Oh, sinner.
To you, born from a spring of foul blood...
I offer lamentable blessings.

we're guided to our meeting where the seasons intersect

When I turn to the voice whispering into my ear,

the door had already been opened

Winter 1924
My first time seeing snow in Sauville!
And soon, it'll be my first Christmas.
Victorique, you should come to the Christmas party too!
Everyone really seems to be looking forward to it.
You should prepare a present to take there too!
Why must I give a present to someone else on my birthday?
I had the same thought, but I heard that it's a custom to exchange presents on Christmas.
Your birthday... is on the day Christ was...?
Moreover...
A Christmas present and birthday present for Victorique...
Oh, Kujō-kun!
S-Sophie-san?!
Where are you going?
Oh, I was just heading to Saubreme for some shopping...
What a coincidence!
Hop on! Come on, come on!
You're going there too?
There's a special Christmas performance of "The Blue Rose of Saubreme" at the Phantom Theatre!
"Blue Rose"...
I seem to recall...
That's right!
Our national idol, the tragic queen, Coco Rose!
I've been a fan ever since I was a little girl.
There's no way I'll let this performance pass me by!
But there'll be time for talk later!
Hurry up!
Thank you.
I had no idea you could ride a motorbike, Sophie-san.
This is my first time.
Episode 19
Fresh Snow Buries
One's Rose-colored Life
He's late...
Victorique-san!
The Farting Newt...
Do you know where Kujō-kun is?
I was hoping we could prepare for the Christmas party together...
I know!
Victorique-san, I've got a brilliant story for you!
It's much more interesting than these books of yours!
Um, Victorique-san...
Listen.
You may not breach this wall of intelligence.
Not by one step.
Very well. Keep it nice and short.
Oh, yes. Coco Rose...
When you investigated Leviathan, didn't her name pop up?
Yeah.
Queen Coco was never blessed with a child.
His Majesty, Rupert de Gille, reproached her for that and sent her off to live in a country house with a maid.
This is your brilliant story?
I'm getting to the crux of it!
Queen Coco received a magic stone from Leviathan.
You become invisible when you grip that stone.
Because of that, Queen Coco could sneak out and have fun, without being detected by the sentries.
A queen confined to a country house...
And she used a magic rock to venture outside...
Well, I suppose he's as stubborn as a rock too...
The Blue Rose of Saubreme.
The Ministry of the Occult's Marquis de Blois is the one who arranged to have it performed.
And on Christmas, too.
The holy night that you were disgraced on...
Is this some sick joke?
No. I'm sure there's a meaning to having this play performed now.
Still, how much does that contemptible man have to hurt you before he's satisfied?
The Rosy Life...
If it's a blue rose, the story should also change...
Hey you, scoot over there!
Say, have you seen my eyelashes?
Cordelia, that boy with red hair is here again.
Yes. I promised to meet him after the show.
Y'know, you're something else!
You've got a quiet demeanor, but you're fast on the draw!
That boy isn't like that.
He's still a child, for one thing.
Honey, that thing's totally worn out.
Have the redhead buy you a new one.
This is proof that I made the past my own.
We're on!
Oh, no!
Life in pink!
Cordelia!{Man Danny-poo better fuckin' provide me some nice full-color doujinshi at the end}

A Gray Wolf, huh?
Cordelia!
Lord Blois, it's almost time.
Gray Wolf...
It's been a year since you came here.
Finally, the time has come for you to be of use to me.
A Gray Wolf's blood mixed with my own...
A child of destiny will now be born.
The power to purge foulness and dispel storms...
It shall be mine.
Cordelia.
Cordelia, let's get a head start to Saubreme.
Brian...
Your precious... and to me, hated... wolf cub.
Don't you want to see your little Victorique in action?
My daughter is strong.
The girl's brains and kindness are unparalleled.
I have faith in my daughter's power.
For that is all my life of humiliation and rage...
can rely on.
So the farting newt's "brilliant story" is nothing more than a fart of a story.
I-I have others!
Give me a moment.
Um...
A dove!
I'm not very fond of them.
Don't they move their heads back and forth as they walk?
Besides, don't you think their cooing is creepy?
Victorique-san?!
W-What's wrong?
Did the dove do something to you?!
Victorique-san...
The stage is set.
A performance of "The Blue Rose of Saubreme" at the Phantom.
I'm sure they'll make a move.
And on that day, I'll have the killer revealed right in front of them...
by the fearsomely intelligent...
Gray Wolf that has my blood running in her veins.
No... No!
No!
Calm down!
A "hunting dog," you say?!
Do we look like hunting dogs to you?!
We're just undressing you for your bath.
Pendant...
You tried to remove her pendant.
I'm sure that's why.
It's precious to you, isn't it?
It's precious.
No, Cordelia.
Your bath is in three days.
When I came to my senses, I realized I was confined to a psychiatric hospital.
On a sympathetic whim, one of that man's underlings gave me just one photo of my daughter.
A foul man forced me to give birth to a daughter I did not ask for.
And yet...
At the time...
The soul I carried in my body since I was born...
My soul that I had come to love unconditionally...
seemed to take form and slip out of my body.
That sensation...
Sorry I took so long.
The redhead, Brian, helped me escape.
Ow! W-What the...?!
Good work, Cordelia.
It looks like you've really gotten used to this.
I don't mind the stage.
Well, I'll give you something to celebrate the success of this performance.
What would you like?
I...
want to see...
my daughter.
Several years had already passed since we were separated.
I could finally hold my daughter in my arms.
But... in there was...
me.
Locked up in a cold tower...
Stripped of her freedom...
Beyond tears...
Not even permitted to scream...
It's okay.
Even without your words...
Here.
I'll always come and save you as long as you have this.
No matter where you are,
I’ll come running.
My daughter...
and my soul.
Hey, it's the Golden Fairy!
She fell!
She's dirty!
She got up!
Kujō.
You've always...
found me.
I want to find you too!
No matter where you are...
I'll...
What are you doing?!
Let go of me, Ms. Round-Glasses!
I'm sure you intend to stuff Victorique into that suitcase and take her away!
What are you...?!
I won't give up!
I'm not afraid of that drill!
The tips of my hair are like little drills anyway!
Cecil.
Victorique-san!
I found you!
I couldn't find him.
I'm leaving again, right?
On Father's... the Ministry of the Occult's orders...
Your mission...
is to solve the most famous unsolved case in all of Sauville!
The most famous...
You mean...
Yes.
The Queen of Sauville in the royal palace...
The Coco Rose Case!
The Phantom Theatre
I don't believe it!
Tonight's tickets are sold out?!
We actually made it here alive...
Soldiers...
What foul play!
Those soldiers abused their authority and snapped up the remaining tickets...
Insolent wench!
That's enough.
I apologize.
Are you all right, Mademoiselle?
Y-Yes...
Good.
I'm sorry.
By way of apology, I have one extra ticket.
You can have it.
R-Really?!
Thanks, Mister!
Hey, you're speaking to—
It's fine.
Today's outing is, above all, a private affair.
Those two men...
Oh, they're such gentlemen!
They're as benevolent as God.
All right, let's introduce them!
These beautiful damsels will play Coco Rose.
The royal palace-era Coco and the Coco at her country house.
We double-cast the role for this performance!
I can't see! I can't see!
Um, Sophie-san?
I'm going to do some shopping...
I see them!
Look over here!
I'll see you later!
Christmas is incredible...
The atmosphere is completely different from the Bon Festival and New Year's back home.
What present should I get her?
A new pipe?
A candy box?
Or...
This...
Ah, yes. It's a coin from when His Majesty ascended the throne.
I turned it into that locket.
The precious pendant Cordelia-san gave Victorique...
Victorique saved me, even though it meant losing the pendant.
If she has this pendant, Cordelia-san will always come and save her.
That's what she said.
I want to give this to her.
And I'll always go and save her as long as she has this pendant.
That's what I want to tell her.
A gale will blow...
Years from now, a gale strong enough to shake the world will blow.
Kujō, please forgive me for being unable to find you.
Your bodies are light.
I beg your pardon!
That gale will surely separate the two of you!
However...
Kujō, I still want to believe...
that this isn't the time...
for us to be separated.
...your hearts will never be apart.
Where could Victorique-san have gone?
The Second Storm?
The Second Storm will come soon.
Now is the time to show your power.
My daughter...
My soul...
Whenever, Wherever

I bid my feelings to be with you
I'm the Suitcase Fairy!
I'm going to protect Victorique-san!
Baggage-waggage-boo!
I'm getting even more worried.
