Summary of Undead Murder Farce episode 5
In the previous episode, Aya, Tsugaru, and Shizuku took on a new case. Arsene Lupin, the gentleman thief, had managed to steal jewelry from a leading actress at the Opera House and even abducted Erik, the Phantom of the Opera.
To everyone's surprise, Lupin then declared his intention to steal the Penultimate Night from Phineas Fogg's collection, on January 19, between 11:00 and 11:30 at night. Fogg then sought help from Aya, Sherlock Holmes, the Royce Company, and others for protection.
The Penultimate Night turned out to be an 80-carat black diamond, hidden within a guarded chamber in the basement of Fogg's mansion. Aya noted that the diamond was stored in a silver box, which was repulsive to both vampires and werewolves. Inside the diamond, there was an inscription that cautioned against looking at it under the moonlight.
Fogg went on to share the story behind the diamond. In response to an attack by a tribe of werewolves, German dwarves crafted an unbreakable black diamond to reveal the location of their enemies. The box in which it was stored was made our silver because werewolves hate the metal.
Holmes and others then made some observations about how the thief may attempt to enter the compartment and how this could be avoided. Aya declared at the end of the episode that she had an idiotic solution to protect the diamond. Instead of revealing what her plan is, she simply hinted that it had something to do with Goemon Ishikawa.
What to expect from Undead Murder Farce episode 6?
The room containing Penultimate Night seems impenetrable, and the potential entry points, like the vent or using disguises, have already been taken note of. Moreover, the moat, which could have provided access to the mansion, has also been sealed off.
Thus, it appears impossible for a thief to enter, let alone steal the heavily guarded diamond. It will be interesting to see how Arsene Lupin and the Phantom of the Opera manage the feat in Undead Murder Farce episode 6.
More importantly, it will be interesting to know what Aya referred to Goemon Ishikawa, the legendary Japanese ninja who stole from the rich and gave it to the poor.
