## Synopsis

With a ghost on the loose and a literal ticking time bomb, the girls start worrying about the manor's structural integrity.

## Summary

The girls agree that they next plan would be placing a bomb under Klaus bed and blow his entire room. Thea however, is worried about the manor's structural integrity. Ever since they came, they have been attacking Klaus with various weapons and bombs, and that had damaged the manor to the point that door are even starting to fall by themselves. Thea suggest they should start doing repairs similarly how they handle cleaning. Monika is against it as they will be going on a deadly mission and its better to just focus on training. Additionally the place is also fixing itself sometimes and Monika guesses that Klaus is calling special contractors to repair it.

Later, Erna tells Sara that the place is indeed repairing itself, but as she has never seen a contractor, it must be the work of a ghost. Erna explains she even saw the ghost, but then a door fell on her. Sara realizes that Erna is afraid of the ghost, which is why she is staying with her around her animals. Erna states she is also afraid of her pets, but Sara assures her they won't hurt her. Sara takes a small dog and gives it to Erna, telling her its a guard dog that will protect her against the ghost. Erna attempts to touch it, but the dog gently bites her. Sara tries to explain that its just playing and but Erna screams.

At night, Sara sees a light coming from a room and wonders if its a burglar as all the other girls should be sleeping. She goes to check, but is surprised to see Klaus doing the dishes. He explains he is also practising as he sometimes has to act as a butler. Seeing her carrying a toolbox, Klaus guesses she has been the one who is repairing the manor during the night. He congratulates her, but is no pleased that she is losing sleep over it, and explains that if the manor's state is getting in the way of their training, then they should fix it as a group. Klaus intends to tell the other girls tomorrow, but Sara doesn't want to. Sara explains that she is the weakest member and has spend the least amount of time attending a spy academy. She isn't good as a spy and this is at least what she can do to help the others. Klaus tells Sara to go and sleep.

In the morning, Sara wakes up Lily as she is in charge of today's breakfast. However as they go to the kitchen, they see Klaus there, who had already prepared them a meal. He explains that as their superior he felt that he should sometimes treat them himself. After all the girls eat, they all love the breakfast and are impressed of how good a cook Klaus is. Klaus also shares he brought a fresh beef tenderloin, which he intends to cook tonight. The girls get super excited and cheer, but he wonders why they assume they will be eating it. The girls get annoyed and start chanting that they want the meat. Klaus then suggests a contest, stating that the odds will be in their favor.

Klaus explains that the rules of the contest are simple and they will be competing to see who can mend the door, clean the bath, sweep the hall, replace a window, and wipe the other windows the fastest. If they beat him in any of the five rounds, they will get the steak, however using of violence is forbidden. The first round is mending the door. Thea takes the lead and tells the girls what to do, but few seconds later, Klaus is already done. The second round is cleaning the bath and Monika suggest that instead of using all of them to clean it, they should send one to try and getting in Klaus' way. They choose Lily, who then goes and tries to annoy Klaus. He however, explains that if they win, she will only get one seventh of the steak, however if she is on his side, she will get the whole steak. Lily then quickly changes sides and starts spraying the girls with the shower head, acting like its going out of control by itself. The girls tie her up, but in the mean time, Klaus is done and he also tells Lily that he lied her.

The next round is sweeping the hall and Erna and Annette decide to take things in their hands. Erna starts sweeping and feels a misfortune, a wind then blows the dust she cleaned into a spot that Klaus had just cleaned. Annette takes out her special deluxe cleaning machine, but as she starts using it, she ends up sucking up Erna's dress, which causes the machine to explode and make the place even dirtier. Meanwhile, Klaus is already done. Next round is replacing a window. Monika decides to do it alone, but as she picks the window, Klaus had already replaced his.

In the final round, they need to clean the windows of the second floor. Lily guesses the fastest way would be to splash the window and clean it in one go, but then they will have to go and take more water, which will take them more time. As they start, instead of joining them, Sara runs towards the kitchen. She gets some cans and returns to the girls. She fills water in them and calls Mr. Bernard and Mr. Aiden to fly and deliver the cans to the girls. After they splash the water, they throw the cans down, where Mr. Johnny runs to retrieve them and bring back to Sara, who then refills them and repeats the process. The start to make a good progress, but in the end, they still lose.

Klaus still cooks them one small steak, but Lily isn't satisfied as they had to split it in seven and she ate her in one bite. Sara suggest they should start doing repair rotations, explaining that is also training as being a spy isn't only about taking down targets. Monika still disagrees, but as all other girls agree, she has no choice.

Later, Klaus visits Sara and her animals and gives them his steak. Sara explains that they will be doing repairs and thanks Klaus for his help. She wonders if its okay to give away his steak as the meat looks expensive, but she sees that her animals are used to him and wonders if he comes often. Sara then wonders if the ghost Erna saw was him, and Klaus notes that he loves animals. Sara is surprised as when she first met him, he felt like a cold person, but Klaus explains that people have many sides and just because her school saw one side of her, she shouldn't evaluate herself on only that side. Klaus looks at Mr. Johnny and Sara explains that ever since he was born, he tends to bite people on first sight, but except Erna's recent biting, he overall stopped. Klaus feels he should be fine and attempts to touch him, but Johnny bites him. Klaus tries to say it fine and its just love bites, but Johnny seems quite serious and Sara sees that Klaus is trying to fight the pain.

After getting Abyss Doll, C informs Klaus that Lamplight is formally promoted to an official team now. C explains that he called him because they have lead on the sniper who killed Guido. They don't have much information, but the Empire's top spy team is called Serpent, and the sniper was likely one of its members.
