You know, Nightroad reminds me of Tsuzuki from Descendants of Darkness. First of all, they’re both fine as hell, but they have two sides to them. On one side, they’re so silly that sometimes you don’t want to be in the same room with them, but they can get really serious when face to face with an enemy.
Catherina wants Nightroad to go to Barcelona to investigate the collapse of the National Palace. She wants to know if it was an accident, or an act of sabotage. Only thing is, Nightroad is tired, and doesn’t want to go.
You know, I can’t believe that Nightroad is standing around bitchin’ about doing his job. Now he may or may not change his mind when he finds out he’s gonna be going with Noelle, to help him control his spending. This is too funny, since the Vatican barely give him enough money to begin with. However, he did spend a lot back in episode 7, so I’m sure Catherina knows what she’s doing.
Nightroad and Noelle arrive in Barcelona, but the bomb squad found no trace of explosive residue, and there are no suspects, so case closed. Nightroad wants to go home, but Noelle is reading the Fun Times Guide to Barcelona. Yep, she has decided to put work aside and mess around a bit.
She complains that she needs to have a little fun, ’cause she works like a dog all the time. Oh yeah, doing what, fixing her makeup, and keepin’ up with her boob job? You know, she really has the hots for Nightroad, but I really don’t think he gives a damn about her, and I’m sure in his mind he’s trying to find out how he can diss her at a hotel or somethin’.
But for right now he’s kind of stuck with her, and they end up having one interesting day…….
Now it’s getting later in the day, and Noelle has been drinking like a fish, and now she’s drunk as a skunk. “Noel, I am so telling Catherina, so that she can fire your ass!” I mean, Noelle is letting it all hang out, fallin’ all over Nightroad, and stumbling down the street.
They both decide to split up and continue the investigation, but Noelle can’t figure out why Nightroad won’t admit his feelings for her. “Noelle, get your head out of your butt, it’s because he’s a priest, you idiot, and you’re supposed to be a nun, or did you forget that?”
Abel runs into Isaac, a member of Rosenkreuz, the one responsible for the demise of the National Palace. A silent noise system embedded into an organ is used as a weapon, and is able to demolish buildings when someone plays it.
Ahhhhhhh, isn’t that nice, Isaac has decided to give us another demonstration of the organ’s power as half the city starts to collapse. “Nightroad, I think it’s crusnik time for you, before everyone in the city is crushed to death!”
Nightroad takes my advice and transforms, but he has to fight a couple of demons before he can get to Isaac. Now Nightroad owns them, but he’s way too late to take out Isaac, who gets away.
Wait, what is this, tears comin’ down Nightroad’s cheeks? Did Noelle get it? Last I saw, she was talking to Nightroad while the building she was in was collapsing around her. Dumb, dumb, dumb, see why you should never drink while on the job?

Ooh I remember Trinity Blood- I love characters like Abel that pretend to be ditzes but really are hardcore. and when I saw this episode I totally didn’t believe that Noel was actually killed- one of the few times in anime/tv when a building collapses and someone dies for real.

Well, I can’t wait until I get the next DVD, maybe she is gone for good!

Well I won’t spoil what happens next for you.
I will say though that in the light novels Abel makes the distinction that he is an AX Agent NOT a priest.
So I guess Priest is just a cover and he could probably take a lover if he so wished.
Sorry Noelle that won’t be you, you’re obviously in the friend zone of his heart, despite the big boobies.

Thank you for that piece of information. I usually don’t read manga, but I do know that it’s always slightly different from the anime series. I must admit, even though she looks like a streetwalker in a nun outfit, Noelle is kind of hilarious in the episode, though.
