Margarita: We're here, everyone.
Edward: Whoa.
Margarita: Do you want to come in for a few minutes?
Mr. Gills: Riliane? What do you want to do?
Riliane: Whatever.
Margarita: Good. Come inside before the Fifth Pierrot gets here.
The group went inside the house.
???: Margarita, you're back!
??? #2: The Fifth Pierrot didn't kill you, did he?
Margarita: I'm alive, aren't I?
Shelby saw 4 more people in the room: 3 women and 1 man. The first woman had short brown hair and she was wearing a red dress. The second woman had long pink hair and a purple dress with a cloak. The third woman had short green hair and a green dress with a hood. And the man had long purple hair and wearing a purple outfit.
??? #2: Who are they? Are they with the Fifth Pierrot?
The group prepared to attack Shelby, Riliane, and Shelby's family.
Deep-Sea Girl: No! We're not with him at all.
Margarita: They're friends. So, Gumillia, put that gun away.
Gumillia: Sorry. We didn't know.
Margarita: Allow me to introduce you. Shelby, Edward, Riliane, these are my friends. The man is Gatt Coulomb, the pink-haired lady is Elluka Clockworker, the green-haired one is Gumillia Matsumoto, and the brown-haired lady is Mayrana Blossom.
Deep-Sea Girl: I'm Shelby Gills. And this is Edward, my little brother. And these 2 are my parents. And...well, you already know the princess, right?
Gumillia: Oh yeah.
Riliane: What happened? Didn't you guys used to live separately?
Gatt: We did.
Elluka: But the Fifth Pierrot came around.
Gumillia: We lost everything.
Mayrana: We've been living here together ever since.
Elluka: And together, we're known as the Père Noël. Or "Father Christmas" in French.
Deep-Sea Girl: Père Noël?
Riliane: I've heard of you people. You used to do bad things to Lucifenia.
Edward: Like what kinds of bad things?
Elluka: From black marketing to assassinating people. You name it, we've done it.
Gumillia: But now we don't do that anymore.
Mayrana: But then there's Julia Abelard.
Deep-Sea Girl: Julia? That's the name of the woman we have to find.
Gatt: And what business do you have with Julia?
Deep-Sea Girl: We have to find Riliane's brother Alexiel.
Gumillia: Alexiel? He's missing?
Mayrana: I thought you guys don't live in Lucifenia anymore?
Riliane: We don't. We've only come back to find him, and that's it.
Deep-Sea Girl: So, how do you guys know Julia?
Elluka: We used to work together with her. She was our leader.
Gumillia: She's also the president of Lucifenia. She came to power after you and Alexiel left.
Mayrana: She has this creepy red cat too.
Deep-Sea Girl: A red cat?
Gatt: You'll see. Or not.
Riliane: We've wasted enough time here. We have to find Alexiel.
Elluka: And all of us will help you out. Because it's obvious you don't have any weapons.
Deep-Sea Girl: Oh yes we do. You see this?
She held up her pearl necklace, while Riliane held up her diamond one.
Gumillia: Where did you get those?
Deep-Sea Girl: A person made these for us. But what about you? What do you have as weapons?
Mayrana: I'm a mage. I have magic.
Elluka: I'm a sorceress. I also have magic.
Gatt: I have my katana.
Gumillia: And I have my gun, of course.
Deep-Sea Girl: And what about you, Margarita?
Margarita: I have...this.
She held up a potion.
Edward: What is that?
Margarita: It's a sleeping potion.
Edward: We're going to let the Fifth Pierrot have a nap?
Gumillia: Why not?
Deep-Sea Girl: Come on.
Gatt: Wait. The sun's going down. It's not safe to walk around at night.
Riliane: I'm not going to wait on rescuing my brother any longer! We've wasted enough time.
She left the house.
Deep-Sea Girl: Riliane!
Shelby went after her.
Deep-Sea Girl: What's wrong?
Riliane: I'm just worried about Alexiel, that's all.
Deep-Sea Girl: I am, too. But these guys can help us. They seem to know their way around.
Riliane: I do, too. I am the goddamn princess! I was born here!
Deep-Sea Girl: Princess, Lucifenia was not the way you remembered it. You saw all the dead bodies everywhere. Just let them help us.
Riliane: Fine. Okay, I'm calm now.
Deep-Sea Girl: Good, let's go back in.
The 2 girls went back inside.
Mayrana: Have you decided on what you want to do?
Riliane: Yes. We're rescuing Alexiel. Tonight.
Gatt: Are you mad?!
Gumillia: That's suicide!
Riliane: It's better than waiting 'til morning. I am the princess. And you have to obey my orders.
Deep-Sea Girl: I know better than to argue with her.
Edward: I'm in!
Mr. Gills: And we'll be with you.
Mrs. Gills: What do you say?
Gatt: Let's do this.
Looks like Shelby and Riliane have their plan all set out. I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
