Synopsis | |
Having accepted an offer of employment, the three sisters travel to Romania and meet their coodinator, Mr. Kim. He tells them they will be attempting to recover a precious book which is thought to have been smuggled out of Great Britain just before a disastrous fire at the British Library four years earlier. In other words, they'll be "stealing from a thief"! Kim guides them to the book's suspected location, a castle built on an island in a large lake. After they set off on their mission, he says to himself "I wonder how many of them will return?". | |

This is Romania, people--you know what that country is infamous for. This episode features a clear link to the fatal Beethoven symphony of the OVA series. Have I mentioned that Maggie is my favorite of the three sisters? My favorite line: "May the power of paper be with us!" |
