01x10 - Mission: Daughter Dearest III

[bunniefuu]

During the Pre-Impossible Mission Planning

The time is 2 p.m., and Mr. Uwe is in the drawing room.

The assassin's made their way into the manor

disguised as a deliveryman.

They have a weapon concealed in their pocket.

Let me think

I start by having Sara's animals

check them for firearms.

They aren't carrying anything that

smells of gunpowder.

The assassin advances.

I station Lily and Sybilla on the

left and right to stand guard.

The assassin turns the corner and

enters their blind spot.

They k*ll a nearby maid.

You lose your bead on their location.

That wasn't bad.

Let's go again.

Are you up for it?

Yes, of course.

By the way, I have a question

The panties I'm wearing today are white.

That wasn't what I was going to ask.

The panties I'm wearing today are white.

You really didn't have to finish that sentence.

Just as I expected.

I was actually hoping to ask about

something more serious.

Serious how?

Why weren't you able to take advantage of

your talents back at your academy?

I have everyone's test scores and evaluations.

Everyone else has logical reasons

for why they washed out.

However, you're the one person

I don't have a good explanation for.

What happened?

I doubt you would believe me if I told you.

I promise to accept whatever you tell me.

I really appreciate that.

The truth is,

I'm not good with men.

Boss?

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't follow.

Being around men makes my stomach start hurting.

You seem fine around me, though.

You're an exception, Boss.

Well, that seems awfully convenient.

That's fine, though.

I did promise to accept your explanation.

That love of yours is a mysterious thing.

Is it?

In that case, I have a question for you as well.

Where did you get that cut on your hand?

I had an urgent mission this afternoon,

and embarrassingly, I got it caught on something.

Your fatigue is starting to get you hurt.

Please, you should go to bed.

Don't worry about it.

Besides, I have a backlog of reports

I need to get through.

I'm not giving this fountain pen back

until you get some sleep.

Magnificent.

Very well, I'll turn in for the night.

You can go ahead and-

Of course, I'll get in bed with you

and sing you a lullaby.

Get out.

You must be tired too.

I'll be asleep soon,

so please get the lights on your way-

That was fast.

Did you let your guard down because

it was me you were with?

Have you come to want to let me dote on you,

even just a little?

I'm under no illusions about my love ever bearing fruit.

But even so,

once I complete the mission and make you proud,

would it be greedy of me to hope for

just one percent of your affection?

MISSION: Daughter Dearest III

Tomorrow evening,

there's going to be a dinner party at the mansion.

The attendees are just going to be politicians

and other political bigwigs who share Mr. Uwe's views,

but we need to be prepared for anything

that might happen.

Sara, I need you to keep watch over

the mansion starting tonight.

Will do.

Now, what can you tell me about

the incident the other night?

Sadly, there weren't any clues in the traps we set.

This little guy couldn't even pick up the bad guy's scent,

so they must have come prepared.

I see.

B-by the way,

do you think there's a chance the assassin

will come back tomorrow?

It's a possibility,

which is why we're staying on high alert.

R-right

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

I'm ready to give it my all!

That's reassuring to hear.

I have instructions from the boss:

"Chisel Mr. Uwe like you were chiseling

a rock from the bottom of the sea."

What's that in normal-person talk?

I believe he wants you to get Uwe to tell you details

about the people who'll be

attending the function tomorrow.

On it.

What's good, Uwe?

We should start thinkin' about heading out, yeah?

It's an hour earlier than usual.

Yeah, but the weather's not gonna hold.

Besides, if we get there early,

you can tell me all about the people

who'll be comin' tomorrow.

I'm going to go plant more bugs around

the mansion to get ready for the party.

Lily, would you mind distracting the

other residents for me while I do?

Leave it to me!

I figured you'd ask, so I actually already knocked over

a bucket and soaked the hallway downstairs.

I think I might've developed a knack for precognition-

sh**t! I didn't think she'd find it 'til later!

Who did this?! Who poured water everywhere?!

Lily's bold moves make for a perfect diversion.

Everything's going smoothly.

The Next Day

No intruders.

I went through the pockets of

everyone who seemed sketchy,

but none of 'em had any weapons.

Sara didn't see anything out of the ordinary, either.

And Lily even got through her maid work

without screwing up for a change.

Probably 'cuz your instructions were so dang good.

Oh, not at all.

If anything, I should be the one complimenting you all.

I spent the entire party hiding away in the back.

By the way, Grete,

you said you came from a politician's family, right?

I did. What about it?

Did you spend a bunch of time at

high society shindigs like this one?

I'm kinda jealous.

It's like, it's all so swanky.

Not quite.

I never could find a place for myself in this world.

That so?

Grete!

Could I speak with you?

Why'd you spend the whole party over in the kitchen?

I wanted you out on the floor mingling with the guests.

My deepest apologies.

I wasn't feeling well,

but I figured I could at least help by

washing dishes and cleaning up.

The world of politics is dominated by men, you know.

Having a couple of cute young maids going

around with smiles on their faces

helps make parties like ours run that much smoother.

I see.

So, what's the deal?

Did you just feel like slacking off?

If I tell her that I have problems dealing with men,

she'll see me as unfit to be a maid,

and she might even fire me.

That said, the more lies I pile on, the more likely

my whole story is to eventually fall apart.

Grete?

T-to tell you the truth,

there's someone I'm quite in love with,

so getting close to other men doesn't-

That changes everything!

Spill, girl!

I-if you insist.

It's what you would call lovesickness.

When I think of him, it makes me

not want to talk to other men.

Oh, was it that guy from the other day?

I saw Sybilla and Lily talking to a total hunk

right after the assassin attacked.

Skinny guy, long hair!

No, someone else.

That man's just a teacher from our school.

I suspect he was just dropping by

his students' job site to check in on us.

He's not the guy, huh?

Can I have him, then?

Huh?

I mean, a schoolteacher like him?

He's probably all kinds of pent up.

All I'd have to do is get some drinks in him and pretend

to be tipsy so I could press my chest against him,

and I could get him into bed and

let nature take its course.

Would you look at that?

You can make faces like that after all.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Look, I've got nothing against lovesickness,

just make sure it doesn't get in the way of your job.

Besides, men flock to good-looking gals like us.

You don't have to take life so seriously.

Needy women don't get loved.

I despise that philosophy.

I can't stand people who don't put in the work

to be worthy of love.

Excuse me?

Isn't that right there the reason nobody loves you?

Oh, I hit the nail on the head.

We're done here.

The room feels darker just having you in it.

If you look like you're fighting back

a grimace the whole time,

you'll just bring down the mood

at the parties anyways.

By your leave, then.

That was made in Galgad.

That's a very pretty brooch.

It was a present from my boyfriend.

What about it?

Nothing, I was just saying.

I'm so tired.

Isn't that right there the reason nobody loves you?

I know that.

How could I not?

I never got a chance to give it back.

Boss

Hello?

Long day, huh?

Lily? Did something-

Nah, you just stay right where you are.

Pat, pat

Um

You looked super tired,

so I thought I'd pamper you a bit.

Sorry it's my hands and not Teach's.

Dang, you've got all kinds of knots.

It makes sense, though,

considering the unreal amount of work you're doing.

You're giving me too much credit.

And she's humble, to boot!

You have a very impressive figure, Lily.

Where's this coming from?!

I've tried to seduce the boss so many times,

but the constant failures are

starting to make me nervous.

Nah, c'mon, don't beat yourself up about it.

I mean, your figure is plenty

Uh

Plenty what?

Plenty good for crossdressing with.

Th-that's our resident master of disguise for you.

She's such an expert, she doesn't even need

a chest binder to pass as a man!

Why, it's basically like she's

crossdressing twenty-four-seven!

Would it be all right if I broke your pinky finger?

You're that pissed?!

Don't you worry.

There're loads of charming things about you.

That's why no matter what happens,

we'll always be friends.

I find it hard to imagine there being

anything charming about me at all.

Who would ever love a girl like you?!

Why can't you even smile like a normal person?!

Why was I burdened with a daughter

as creepy as you?!

Androphobia, huh?

Her father all but forced her to enroll in her academy.

The official story is that she's living overseas

as part of the treatment for some illness.

In other words, her politician father

basically abandoned her.

It says here she chose the code name

Daughter Dearest herself,

but I'm sure there are plenty of things these

scraps of paper can't possibly tell me about her.

Now, it's high time we started

this assassin hunt of ours.

MISSION: Daughter Dearest III

This is a list of the politicians we suspect

were k*lled by Corpse.

Corpse's primary MO is making it look like

the victims committed suicide

by jumping to their deaths.

It doesn't use weapons, so it's hard to trace.

There are probably all loads

of other assassinations

that have been written off as suicides

that we just don't know about.

That's so messed up.

Many of the dead politicians were people

who devoted everything they had

to getting our nation back on its feet after the w*r.

Losing them hurts.

So, this is why they call it a shadow w*r.

Sara

Don't worry.

As the World's Strongest,

I'll make sure I put Corpse down.

There's no need to be so afraid.

I-I have to tell you!

I know it's pathetic,

but hearing that made me feel better.

I'm glad you've started relying on us,

but if I'm being totally honest, I feel a lot safer

when I know you're protecting us.

That's nothing to be ashamed of.

But, um, that's why I think you should

pay more attention to Miss Grete.

I don't know if you realize just how much courage

it takes her to do what she's doing.

Duly noted.

Uwe!

Damn you, k*ller!

What the hell do you think you're doin', dumbass?!

You should know that

givin' your opponent a clear shot

is about the most dangerous thing you can do.

R-right.

You hurt?

Not a scratch.

And it's all thanks to you, White.

When you moved my bed away from the window,

it made it into a blind spot.

I was able to escape his shots unscathed.

Dang, that was a lucky-a*s coincidence.

I saw him.

It was that man with the hideous birthmark.

You actually got a good look at him?

My eyes have gotten a lot better

since you lot started cooking for me.

The next time he shows it will be

the day he meets his maker.

Look, you wanna think about hiring a security guard?

This guy's shown up twice in a single week.

No price is too high

when it comes to keepin' your family safe.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Welcoming more outsiders into the house

can't possibly be a good idea,

not when you have no idea who the assassin might be.

I'm terrified at the very thought.

B-but

If anything, shouldn't you think about firing

the intruders who only just got here?

What the hell are you on about?

Who do you think it was that saved Uwe just-

You know, you don't seem frightened by any of this.

Neither do the other two.

You were so brave during the first attack.

Are you used to things like this?

Why is that?

Was you moving the bed really just a coincidence?

Uwe, don't you think we should look into

the girls' backgrounds again?

For example, we could start with a thorough

inspection of their personal effects.

You can't

Just so you know, Olivia

it's dangerous to pick up glass with your bare hands.

Glass?

You're so right!

I cut my finger a little.

I need to go wash up.

When did Olivia grab that glass shard?

If she had wanted to, she could've-

Sybilla, please focus on your maid work for now.

Say, what's that punk Klaus got to say about all this?

He says to leave everything to me.

He really trusts you that much?

Also, where is he even?

Sybilla, I'll handle the cleanup in here.

Would you mind taking Uwe to another room?

Y-you got it.

I have the situation under control.

The enemy is starting to show their true colors.

I need to start making preparations for the showdown.

From here on out,

I can't afford to make a single mistake.

If I screw up

I'll revise the plan as many times as it takes.

I just need a little more time

Are you okay, Grete?

I-I'm terribly sorry.

My foot slipped a little, but I'm fine now.

No, you're not.

You need another massage.

I'm gonna knead you up until your whole

body's as mushy as a jellyfish.

Y-you really don't

M-may I ask

Tricked you.

Secure the target!

Wh-what exactly are you doing?

Enemies are to be brutally interrogated.

Wh-what do you plan on doing with that?

Here, we show our enemies no mercy.

B-but yesterday, you said we would always be friends.

I was fibbing.

Don't you think there are some lies

you really shouldn't tell?

If you thought we were gonna be the ones

getting conned forever

then you were dead wrong.

A listening device?

When did you

So, the guy with the birthmark

That was secretly you in disguise, wasn't it?

I surrender.

You're right, it was me all alon-

This is so much fun!

So, why'd you do it?

I-I was about to tell you, but then you distracted me!

Your reactions are so cute, I couldn't help myself.

I disguised myself as the assassin

so could watch how any maids and guards reacted.

That way, I could see if any of them

had undergone special training.

Don't you think it's time you looped us in?

What's this mission really about?

But

You're incredible, Grete.

In the end, none of the rest of us were able to tell

the boss that we wanted to share his burden.

But now, I'll say this:

I want to share your burden, Grete.

Ditto to that.

Me too.

All right

Please listen, everyone.

Our target, Corpse, is actually-

I figured you kids were operatives.

Well, fine, we can ditch the subtlety this time.

Get to the window!

Round two!

Mr. Bernard!

MR. BERNARD!

Where's Teach?!

We need to get him here, fast!

He's not here.

The boss won't be coming for us.

This is a battle we have to win on our own.
