   "If memory serves me right, I should be quite financially stable..."

Says the daughter of the man who brought a submarine full of gold from Italy.

Beatrice, Beatrice? [Angelodorato]

A-a-ah, p-princess? This woman called her a princess?? Maria seemed to go red after that statement, but she was pleased with her sudden advance in rank. 

Princess….

"Uu-uu! Maria’ll lead!" She was extremely happy with this development. Who cared if the woman wasn’t Beatrice? She was nice, and pretty! And she thought Maria was pretty! That’s all Maria needed~ 

Leading the way, she went walked around the corner. Lets go on a witch hunt. 

[angelodorato-blog]

Witch hunting, witch hunting! 

  She let the little girl lead the way-- this way, Bice could watch her back. It was much easier to look after little children when you are walking behind them,  even more so that Bice had a sudden sense of responsibility over the young lady. Then again, what could a slingshot do...?

"So what does Beatrice do, Princess?" Bice asked curiously.  "What powers does she have?"

"The truth will set you free-- is that it, good sir?"

  But he simply can't understand-- she was a mistress. As much as she was happy to love and to be beloved, the fact that she was a mistress changed it all, and the truth would ultimately kill both Kinzo and her.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look very beautiful?"

  On a complimenting sort of mood, Bice turned to smile and greet the other with a small bit of praise, seeing that she was in a good mood herself.

" Where I’m from, talking bears is a normal thing. " She got back on all fours and walked right up to her, tilting her head. 

" Does me speaking really make all the difference for you? Humans want me dead, talking or not. "

[angelodorato-blog]

  It sort of made quite a difference, but it didn't make any difference  whether the animal could talk or not to determine whether she would actually hit it. Bice wasn't that type of person.

"Forgive me-- please do understand that I don't mean you any harm. There are quite some challenging people in the city, thus I'm merely trying to defend myself."

So many strange things had occurred in the Golden Witch’s long ethereal lifespan— most of them caused by herself in her own games, but this city had procured its own brand of intrigue. It was as if she was staring at herself in a mirror, except the Golden Witch would not present herself in such casual attire.

She knew immediately who her doppelganger was— this was no illusion, no trick, it was a reality come to life to haunt her (the thought dripped with irony, as wasn’t she the one supposed to haunt the rest?) The woman before her was the witch was based off of, the lover of Kinzo.

"Yes, that is my name. I am the Golden and Endless Witch." Her voice was haughty, yet her face held no spite. In fact, she was actually trying to keep it free of wonder: why would the scientists bring her here? To mock the both of them?

"I know I do not need to ask you for your name… You’re the other Golden Witch."

[angelodorato-blog]

The other Golden Witch.

  That was the name that Kinzo had given to her on that day when they sailed the waters to heal her. That was one of their stock jokes-- Beatrice  Castiglioni, the witch who came with the gold of Italy. Wonder and shock still adorned the woman's features as the other woman spoke with much  grandeur in her voice, and the Italian woman steeled herself so as to not be too overwhelmed.

  Oh, there were so many questions swimming in her mind, but Bice decided to present the second most important one: why couldn't she be found by Maria earlier? Taking care as to not sound feeble, Bice presented a rather off-topic statement, hopefully as to break the seriousness even for a second.

"Maria...Maria was looking all over the city for you. You...are the witch, yes?"

[morimusume-deactivated20150518]

" All over you…you smell of a certain confidence." She stood up, and spread her arms out wide.

" Okay. "

" But if you can’t hit me, then I get to eat you, gau gau. "

[angelodorato-blog]

  Needless to say, Bice was rather...surprised at her first foe. The previous confidence that she had was slowly being replaced with a certain air of confusion, and the Italian woman slowly lowered her slingshot as she stared at the bear.

"...But...I can't hit you," Bice mumbled, then gasped. 

"You spoke!"

"Come on, then! I will fight you, if you wish for a fight! This slingshot will not miss!"

Beatrice, Beatrice? [Angelodorato]

[kigennomajo-deactivated20151008]

"…. U-uu? Not Beatrice? Just looks like Beatrice?" Maria’s expression dimmed, disappointed. So this woman was named Beatrice, but wasn’t Beatrice. She was just a different person who looked like her. Ah…. Maria should have been sure before bothering her. 

"Uu? Beatrice will help Maria look?" It was weird for her to not at least stick a ‘san’ when talking to an adult, but it was also weird to use such suffixes on her name. Call it a habit, or something like that. It just didn’t sound right. 

"Uu! Lets find Beatrice!" 

[angelodorato-blog]

  Bice could almost laugh at the girl's lovely childish innocence, but she too had curiosities of her own. A woman named Beatrice, who looked exactly like her? That was something to marvel upon, yes? That very curiosity didn't faze Bice-- instead, it got her more hyped up to partake in the search  with the girl's same vigor.

"Let's go, Maria! Let's go and find Beatrice together! We'll start right away, and we'll search in this Sector first! Would you like to lead the search, Princess Maria?"

  And the girl did look like a charming little princess! Her fashion sense was impeccable, and it delighted Bice's light heart.

It was her own face that she was staring at.

  It was a woman who had her same golden hair, her same blue eyes, her same hairstyle, and everything was just painfully identical. It was as if  someone had took the time to copy out Bice's features carefully to create this woman, and Bice ended up staring at her own face instead of another person's. 

  All she could see was her own face. The grand dress was easily ignored; it was the fact that she might have met Maria's Beatrice that snapped Bice from her reverie. With a mite breathless whisper, Bice could only manage a single word: her own name.

"...Beatrice?"

[kigennomajo-deactivated20151008]

Beatrice, Beatrice? [Angelodorato]

"Maria’s been looking everywhere for you! Maria knew you were here! Maria didn’t give up! Uu!” She tried to keep her grip on the woman, as if not wanting to let her leave her. 

But then the surprised words, and the different accent alerted her to a problem. How did she know?

"Uu? Maria knows because Maria is Beatrice’s apprentice." She tilted her head to the side, her eyes suddenly clouding over with worry. "Does Beatrice not remember Maria?" That would crush her heart-

[angelodorato-blog]

Maria?

As far as Bice was concerned, she didn't know any child with the name of Maria. Back in Italy, she had many friends with the same name, yet she didn't know of a child who had that name as well. The Italian woman bit her lower lip in contemplation; maybe she had once seen the girl and brushed the memory off, thinking it very much irrelevant?

But that couldn't be; this girl knew exactly what she was talking about. However, Bice didn't have the heart or the cheek to lie to the girl and say that yes, she was the Beatrice that she was looking for, when she was really not. Disappointment was inevitable, but Bice ended up thinking of another idea.

"I think you got me mistaken for another Beatrice, Maria! But it is funny-- if your Beatrice looks like me, then we should find her here, yes? You and me, finding Beatrice together?"

[kigennomajo-deactivated20151008]

Beatrice, Beatrice? [Angelodorato]

She was still looking for her. The Golden Witch, Beatrice. Not a single hint had been given to the young girl as of yet. Where was she? Was it even her? What if she didn’t want to see Maria? All of those questions and more were swirling around her tiny head. 

But then… She saw her. She knew that golden hair! She wasn’t wearing her normal dress, but it was definitely her! 

”Beatrice!” Running over, she gave the unsuspecting woman a very tight hug from behind. 

[angelodorato-blog]

A look of real shock appeared on Bice's face as she was suddenly tackled into a hug from behind, from whom she instantly assumed to be a very small child. Bice's deductions were right, and the Italian woman hastily tried to keep her composure, or at least regain it after an instinctively surprised yelp.

From the way the little girl pronounced her full name, Bice also assumed that the little girl was Japanese. The way Kinzo had said her name as he conversed with his friends in the same language had the similar strong phonetics, and slowly as to not surprise the girl, Bice blinked and found that she didn't know this little thing!

"Oh my, who are you, little one? How do you know my name?"
