= In A Large House =

"Are you listening? Marjorie? "

"You're always welcome to be here!"

Marjorie (looks a bit blue. She wears black and she is making holding a vase): "Yes ! I am listening. That's alright. Because I still have my father's inheritance, Auntie Ursula."

Marjorie is a fine girl wears two long braids. Under the two pieces of glasses are the two big eyes.

Aunt Ursula: "Yes, it's true. But, I can't let you alone, to handle the undertaking! Hurry up! Sell this piece of land and live with me ! "

Marjorie (replies calm): "Aunt, it's no good for you to do so - adopting an orphan."

Aunt Ursula: "Marjorie! But, you need not run this boring business . . . "

Suddenly, a tall man carrying a coffin comes in.
He is the man who came to David's room and put his body into the prepared coffin.

Aunt Ursula (shocked by the totally black 'Coffin Man'): "Oh! What . . . What's going on here. This man ------? "

Marjorie (to Coffin Man): "Welcome! And thank you for your work !"

The Coffin Man put the coffin down.
Meanwhile, Marjorie, introduces him to her aunt.

Marjorie: "Aunt Urusla, this person always gives me a hand."

Aunt Ursula (stepped back): "What?"

Marjorie (tells the Coffin Man's talent to her aunt): "He got a pair of sharp measuring eyes ! Just a glance at a person, he can make the best fit coffin for that person. Aunt, what about let him take a glance at you?"

Aunt Urusula (angry): "You. What're you saying? You child . . . !" , opens the door and intends to leave, "Don't say unlucky things ! I will come again, Marjorie !"

=BANG =

Marjorie (placing the vase onto a table): "I'm sorry, Mr. Coffin Man . She's a nervous person!"

Coffin Man (put off his black hat): ". . . It's because she cares her kin!" you alone live in such a place so close to the dead bodies . . . It's not bad to follow her words. . . "

Marjorie: "Aunt Ursula is a philanthropist, and for the kitten, and for the puppy, or for her niece, she all shows her sympathy. But, the deplored side doesn't feel that sympathy. Besides . . . she maybe misconcepted by those rumours on my father and me ", suddenly, she found something on the Coffin Man's face. She tries to wrap away the bloodstained on the Coffin Man's face, "uh-oh! Look, it's blood strained. Did you get hurt?"

Coffin Man: "Me . . . Let me ," he wrapped away the blood strained.

Marjorie: " It's no good being called 'Coffin Man'. Your real name is ?"

Coffin Man: "Both my present and past are just a piece of card, there's no name at all. Let's back to the work! "

Marjorie: "Alright. I understand, Mr. Coffin Man", touches the dead body inside the coffin, "Oh . . . here got three. . . ! One more can then fulfill the due. And soon, father's 'Eternality' can be obtained."

Two human size angel statues stand between a straight up coffin. 4 more coffins are arranged on the floor side by side. Among the four, one is empty.

Marjorie looks at the coffins: "As soon as one more coffin is collected, Father no longer be alone . . . "

= Next Day,
in the hotel where Oscar stays in =

Cain (sits on the window edge): "So. . . It was the first time you met the 3 people who drank with you in Oscar Bar, right?"

Oscar (on sofa): "Yes! That's right! All bore a poker face and could only be happy with wines! And then, after knowing my name, they were surprised <is it because the bar's name is also called Oscar, Or, this name 'Oscar' is related to something else?!>. And so, we started drinking and cheering up. At last, the bar owner kicked us out and so, I farewell to them !"

Cain calculating:
The Death Warning letter inside a black envelope. . .
The Tarot card - 'ACE of Swords' . . .
Whatever they are, all are related to the Tricks of 'DELIAH' . . . . . . !
YET, I won't let father do whatever he wants !
. . . Maybe. . . They thought Oscar was the 3 people's partner, and so, they intended to attack him . . .

Cain is still thinking busily that he doesn't realize Oscar walked closed to him and now is staring him face to face. <a funny scene!>

Cain (back to reality) puts his walking stick towards Oscar's forehead: "What're you doing?"

Oscar: "Nothing. . .Well, I first believed that Merry is your younger sister, and so I still have to wait four years more. But today, you investigate the event because of me, and you keep an eye on that bar secretly. . . And so..." , opens his welcomed embracing arms wide happily, "I wonder maybe you don't want me to call you 'Brother; more, what about 'Elder Brother'

Cain: "Shut up . . . ! You're exiled by your family. In this situation, it's not good for you to court other people's sister."

= Knock, Knock =

Someone knocks the door and says, "Mister? A calling from Lief . . ."

Cain: "It's mine! Let me take it !", on the phone, ". . . Lief . . . What have you found? . . . A reaction on poison? "

Lief (on the other side of the phone): "For the bloodstained on the victim's bed, the poison 'Poison Arrow' is found . . . it's a kind of medicine used by vaterinariam. It's a kind of medicine to relax muscles . . . It's probably shot from a broken window and injected into the body. . . "

Cain: "Needle . . . ? No matter what, got to go the 3rd person's crime sence and see what could be found. And so . . . . . . ."

Cain thinks:
What is he doing?
What does he want in London?
'DELIAH' and Father . . .

= On the other side,
in a secret society =

A youth comes in and says: " Owner of the cards'

The youth's skin is tanned. His short hair makes his fine face looks more handsome. He wears an eye cover on the left face.

What being seen is Alexial sitting on a chair <emperor chair ?>. Next to his chair is a large London model on the floor. It seems that the leader of 'DELIAH' is sleeping on the chair . . .

A tall, silver hair man approaches to the chair and touches the leader's face. . .
It seems that he wants to touches Alexial's neck . . .

The suntanned youth walks towards the tall, silver hair man <Dr. Jezebel - but this time, he doesn't wear glasses>. He put a knife on Dr. Jezebel's neck .

Dr. Jezebel (suddenly opens his eyes and says calm): "It's a joke, 'Moon' . . . . . ."

Alexial (opens his eyes): "You'd better be ------ Or else, your head would be on the floor now, Jezebel !"

Moon hands a report to Alexial: "Master -----"

Alexial: "Oh, a report?", stuides Coffin Man's profile, "Mmm..... 'ACE of Swords' .... Is it 'Coffin Man'? Once it is progressing to the Major Aracana, he will become very strong and powerful. And it's natural cause in DELIAH, ranking is the absolute! He is the man who survives via the sucking of this world's anger and hates! Jezebel, and you finally be the 'GOD OF DEATH' (or Hades) of the Major Aracana- even you hate entering the rebirth ceremony in the Major Aracana. . . "

Hearing this, Dr. Jezebel's face is darkened . ... He remains silent.

Alexial: "But, you no longer can do whatever you like. My adopted son does no harm to anyone in the lower ranking. What's more, 'DELIAH' suits you most ! Oh, yeah, 'Mad Moon' Ida . . . You have seen Cain, right? What did you find on my son . . . . ? "

Hearing these words 'my son', Dr. Jezebel feels uneasy. He put on his glasses again.

Ida: "I exist because of your orders. For the others emotions, I have none . . . "

Alexial: "Ha Ha Ha . . . Anyway, it makes my day tonight. Let's see what 'Coffin Man' can do! " , he put a chess on the London model next to his chair, 'FIRST . . . . "

= In the Hotel =

Cain (to Oscar): "I go to see what's going on outside. You don't come closer to the window!"

Oscar: "Cain !? " stands near the windowedge, "Just come closer to the window, will then be attacked? This kind of killing method will easily be discovered due to loud noises !"

Outside, the moon looks bright and big .
A tall, black cloak and black hat man is standing on the hotel roof top.
His mechinal-like hand (fingers wear long, sharp things) holds a long tube. . .
He is going to do something . . .

= At the same time, in David Morris' House =

Lief (to David's wife): ". . . Please accept my bothering, Madame. . . ", checks around, "So, this is the 3rd victim, David Morris' room. . . ", found a small broken area on a window.

Lief figures:
This is the broken window which . . . the weapon used was an arrow coated by poison? No, for that kin do forces, this window couldn't' only get a small broken hole.

Lief reorganizes the information:
The murderer first sent a death warning letter to the victim, and then attacked him before he went to bed . . . And the next mooring, carried a prepared coffin and showed up outside . . .

= At the same time, in David Morris' House =

Lief (to David's wife): "Please accept my bothering, Madame", walks into David's room, "So, this is the 3rd victim, David Morris' room."

Lief saw a small broken hole on a window. He figures:
This is the broken window which . . . The weapon used was an arrow coated with poision ? NO! For that kind of forces, this window couldn't only get a small broken hole.

Lief reorganizes all the collected information:
The murder first sent a death warning letter to the victim; attacked him before the vicitm went to bed. And the next day, carried a prepared coffin and showed up outside . . .

= Back to the Hotel =

Oscar stands near the windowedge and faces backward .

That's right!
It's neither the bow nor gun, but a more smaller and special thing . . ..
like a blowing arrow . . .

Outside, 'Coffin Man' blows a small needle out from a narrow tube-like bow.

The needle plugged into Oscar's neck . . .
