THE CASEBOOK OF ARNE
ARNE DETECTIVE AGENCY
Ah, they're so pretty.
PART 2: THERE IS ALWAYS SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN
Where did you get them?
I picked them up on the way back
from Blumenstadt.
Zwei didn't even give them
a second glance, though.
For some reason, I find myself thinking
back to the day I first met Lord Arne.
Mother, it's already the second
anniversary of your death.
I had hoped he would at least come today.
THE REINWEIß FAMILY'S ONLY DAUGHTER, LYNN
I'll come again.
CASE 1: THE REINWEIß FAMILY MURDER CASE
And next time, I'll bring Father.
Welcome home, Mistress Lynn.
A MAID, DIANA
Your dinner is ready for you.
You are late, Lynn.
THE HEAD OF THE REINWEIß FAMILY, KLAUS
Please go ahead and eat.
Rose and I have already finished.
I-I went to visit Mother's grave.
Next year, will you come with me?
I know it would make Mother happy.
How dare you say that!
My wife My Rose is
most certainly not dead.
Rose Rose is here with me.
Father!
Master!
THE BUTLER, GORDON
Elise, please escort the master to his room.
A MAID, ELISE
U-Uh, yessir, um, gladly!
Mistress Lynn, may I have a moment?
Please refrain from going out
by yourself in the future.
The town has become
a very dangerous place.
There are even rumors of people
getting murdered.
Murdered?
We cannot allow anything to happen to
the noble Reinweiß family's only daughter.
I trust you understand.
Mother.
If you are ever in trouble, this pendant
will save you, my dearest Lynn.
If only I could do more to help him.
I need to work harder
at being a worthy heir.
No, this isn't helping.
I'm full of negative thoughts.
When that happens
It's time to change the mood!
There's no way I can help Father
feel better if I'm depressed myself!
But all things considered
The Imamura brand from Japan
really is the best!
In terms of flexibility,
feel, and even cost!
And now it's time to get psyched!
Undying monsters feasting on the
lifeblood of humans—vampires.
At the top of their ranks
stood nine vampire kings.
But despite their powers, there was
a vampire hunter they could not defeat.
In order to vanquish their nemesis
and take over the world,
the kings offered up their own hearts
and combined them to create
the deadliest vampire of them all.
And thus, Neuntöte was born.
I have been waiting for you, my nemesis.
There he is!
Spreading plague wherever he steps!
Putting down attacking humans
like they're crying little babies!
The strongest and deadliest of them all!
Now, human, let us dance joyfully
beneath the crimson moon!
Yeah!
Evilly!
Bloody!
Eternity!
Neuntöte!
Vampires are so awesome!
Ah, if only one would appear before me.
And start sucking
the blood from my neck.
Yup. I'm in a better mood now.
If Gordon ever caught me dressed
like this, I'd get an earful for sure.
Father?
Where could he be going at this hour?
Father's acting kind of strange.
Huh?
Th-They've been killed.
But where's Father?
Wh-What's happening?
Why? Where's Father?
And who is that person?
No
Someone, please save me.
Father. Mother.
Where am I?
Is that person
He's gone?
I don't remember this part of town at all.
It also feels like someone's watching me.
Excuse me? Is anybody here?
It looks exactly like the movie location.
A coffin?
Don't tell me there's a vampire inside.
No, no. Let's be realistic about this.
If I go around opening coffins,
it might reflect badly on me as a person.
Or could this be a dream?
That's it! This whole thing
is just a dream!
Of course it is!
In that case, there's no need
to hold back! Yay!
What a sight.
You're such a good girl, Lynn.
Father.
Lynn.
I remember when Father was still kind.
Huh? Was I asleep?
Who's there?!
Is somebody there?
I'm over here.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Zisye.
THE BOY IN THE MIRROR, ZISYE
I'm an unstable entity
that can only exist inside mirrors.
So this isn't a dream?
Would've been better for you if it was.
Because the lord of this castle
is an absolutely terrifying vampire.
A vampire?
Yeah, a vampire.
He's keeping you locked up in here alive
so he can suck the blood from your body.
How dare you lure me from the deep abyss
of sleep, insolent human.
Are you prepared to accept
your fate as a blood sacrifice?
Y-You have no reflection,
so you must really be a vampire.
No
No way! Sure! Drink all
the blood you want!
Huh?
You're actually a vampire?
Like, for real?
Then, please go ahead!
One big gulp! Down the hatch!
Hold on. Cool it a minute, human.
This wasn't the plan.
Weren't you going to scare her first
so she'd run off screaming?
This is still kind of fun, isn't it?
No, it isn't.
And what was that "abyss of sleep" guff?
Making me read garbage lines
Come on!
Come on. Come on!
Please drink all of my blood!
I have to apologize.
I've always wanted to meet someone
like you, so I got a little carried away.
THE VAMPIRE, ARNE
It is impressive that you made me
recoil in disgust though, human.
His name is Arne.
He's a vampire and the lord of this castle.
What were you thinking,
bringing a human here?
I just thought it'd be fun.
Now, will you hurry up and leave?
You have no business here.
No way! Can't you at least have a sip?
I've never seen a human
react to a vampire like this.
But too bad.
Arne only drinks blood he receives
as payment for his detective work.
Detective?
I decline.
I haven't asked for anything yet!
I can already tell what you're gonna say.
You want to hire me for something, right?
You read me like a book.
You really are a detective!
Actually, it has to do with my father—
Stop.
Oh, great. I listened anyway.
So are you willing to investigate?
I need to know what my father's up to.
This is so pathetic.
Your father is either the person
who attacked you,
or an accomplice of his.
My father would never do that!
I'm done talking.
I don't take jobs I have no interest in.
Aw, why not?
Heck, I'll pitch in and help for free.
I beg you!
Human, where did you get that?
Huh? Oh.
It's a keepsake my late mother gave me.
I suppose I am somewhat curious now.
Mister Vampire?
Don't call me that.
I don't appreciate being referred to
by my species when I'm on a job.
On a job?
Do you mean
Yeah. So tell me your name,
latest client of the
Arne Detective Agency.
It's Lynn! Lynn Reinweiß!
I need to know what
my father's involved in.
Please investigate for me!
I wonder what's taking
Lord Arne so long, Sir Zisye.
Maybe he's getting all dolled up.
Oh, and just call me Zisye.
So what kind of creature are you, Zisye?
Judging by the ears
some kind of werewolf?
I'm actually the boy who cried wolf.
Like from the fairy tale?
Yeah, the liar from the fairy tale.
So who knows? This could be a lie, too.
I've returned.
Lord Arne?
So c-c-cute!
C-Come sit on my lap!
Stop that, Lynn Reinweiß.
I'm the same Lord Arne Neuntöte
who agreed to take your case.
Huh?
What?!
Lord Arne? No, Master Arne?
Look at how small you are!
Wait.
Did you say "Neuntöte" just now?
I sure did.
Evilly! Bloody!
Eternity! Neuntöte!
That one?
THE FORMER DEADLIEST VAMPIRE AND
CURRENT PRIVATE DETECTIVE, ARNE NEUNTÖTE
That's the one.
Mother, Father!
Lord Neuntöte is finally here
before my very eyes!
I've only got one heart right now, though.
Before I set out to investigate,
I need to stock up on blood.
Maybe I'll take your blood
payment for my fee right now.
That is definitely okay with me!
The way you get so excited
is still pretty gross.
I've been tricked.
This is a scam.
You never said you'd draw
blood the normal way!
It's more efficient to store it
and carry some around.
You're crushing a girl's dreams!
You should be able to see
this place for what it is now.
Since you are now regarded as my guest,
you have become a citizen of this town.
This is Lugenberg, a town of creatures
that are in no way human.
Don't make eye contact.
To the inhabitants of this town,
humans are food.
Huh?
B-But when and how did I even get here?
Who knows? Perhaps you were spirited away.
Spirited away?
This is the back entrance.
We should be able to get in here
without being spotted.
But what about the sunlight?
I can handle a bit.
More importantly,
do you remember your instructions?
Of course I do.
FLOOR MAP OF THE REINWEIß ESTATE
1ST FLOOR
I will go in first,
and draw my father and all of
the servants to the first floor.
FLOOR MAP OF THE REINWEIß ESTATE
3RD FLOOR
That's when you'll make your move.
I'll sneak inside and investigate
your father's room on the third floor.
I'll be in trouble if I get spotted,
so don't let me down.
You can count on me.
Huh? It's locked.
Let me try.
What did you just do?
I made a spare key with my blood.
That's so neat!
Get a hold of yourself.
Hurry up and invite me inside.
Please come right in.
Uh-huh.
Mistress?
THE GARDENER, KAI
Where in the world have you been?
We were up all night searching for you.
K-Kai! Um
Huh?
But I'm so glad you're safe.
Now, hurry on inside and
tell everyone you're back.
U-Um, where's Father?
Waiting in his room,
overcome with worry.
M-Master.
M-Mistress Lynn has, um, returned, yes'm.
She has?
Long time no mist.
Yeah, it uses up too much blood.
For a nobleman's room, it sure is bland.
This must be Lynn Reinweiß's mother.
Huh. She's really pretty.
Oh. The pendant.
You sure seemed curious
about it at the castle, Arne.
I once met someone
who owned the same thing.
Probably a different person, though.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
But maybe this room
does have some color to it.
Were you out enjoying
a night on the town?
How disgraceful!
Mistress, you are the heir
to the Reinweiß estate!
I've got to try to buy some time.
And were you asleep at your post, Bernd?
Uh, me, sir?
THE GUARD, BERND
No, uh, I was on watch the whole time.
I just never expected
the mistress to sneak out.
I-I apologize.
THE COOK, HEINZ
Next time you want to go out at night,
let us know first, Miss Lynn.
There will be no "next time"!
Did you forget what I told you
about those murders?
One more person
even got killed last night.
One more?
Not two?
What were you doing?
Father!
Master!
Father!
Rose was so very worried about you.
Father, it's been two years already.
Won't you face the future with me?
I'll be there to support you, Father.
So please
It is almost time.
Soon, you too will
be able to see Rose again.
We will be three once more.
Father.
Huh?
L-L-Lord Arne?
You came out of a bat?!
Get a hold of yourself.
I inspected your father's room.
This is what I found.
Just a little longer.
It's almost time now.
It's almost time.
