Sophie, still unresponsive, like a humanoid statue, felt Rebecca disappear as soon as she finished her sentence.
Klaus went to Rousseau's again. He was invited by Marcel, who said he had something to discuss.
”It's a long way from last night's party.” Klaus didn't think Marcel would like this little bar. It was a paradise for gentle petty capitalists.
Soon after, he saw Marcel wave to a girl. She had elegant golden hair and a short skirt, but looked like a pure and innocent student. Klaus showed an ambiguous smile as he glanced at the pair of bright and beautiful legs, ”So that's how it is.”
It seemed that Marcel was pursuing Rousseau's bartender, Camille. Klaus's eyes immediately caught the name on her badge.
”Hey, brother, what's the progress?” Klaus nudged Marcel, who was standing opposite him, and warmly poured him a glass of wine, ”A … ”B? Or, c!”
”...” ”I am trying my best …” Marcel grinned, looking annoyed and pleased with himself, ”She is a little rose with thorns, very piercing.” Following that, Marcel seemed to casually stare at Camil as he gulped down a few mouthfuls of strong alcohol.
Klaus turned his head to look at Camil who was writing on the other table. His eyes flashed with a dark figure, and his ambiguous eyes were like snakes that were wrapped around Camil. It seemed that the taste of the two of them was at times astonishingly similar. ”I believe that she must be a very special Rose, for you to sit here and let her wear you down instead of taking her for lunch.”
Marcel smiled and didn't explain, but he leaned to block Klaus's view.
”Let's talk about the business first. The coroner called. He has my number … If there's a tourist's corpse, contact me.”
”Let me guess. It's the body of a tourist with a mark on his hand and vampire blood in his veins.” ”That's right,” said Klaus.
”It's hard to avoid an accident. Someone got drunk and fell off the balcony or into the Mississippi.” Marcel didn't seem to care about their actual cause of death. He was more concerned about how to dispose of the bodies.
