Oh Maker.... Well, here's what I've got so far for that next part:


 * Elluka arrives at the orphanage and is greeted by a woman with a kindly atmosphere indeed like "our lady/the virgin" (did I miss something? I don't know why this comparison is popping up).


 * She asks something to the effect of "Do you need anything" and Hanne feels compelled to politely respond:


 * Hanne: "Yes!! I am!! Hanne!! Lorre!! Of the Shuburke Newspaper!! Pardon me!!"


 * Rita: "Oh my, you're quite the cheerful person. Is the newspaper...... covering us?"


 * Hanne: "Yes!! It is!!"


 * Rita: "Wonderful, then welcome. Please come in."


 * Hanne: "Thank you very much!"


 * As a note, Hanne's using the Chartette desu slur (ssu). Her "yes" answers are written in katakana. The narration states the medicine was too effective and now Hanne's ridiculously energetic. While trying to regain control of herself, she heads inside with the woman.


 * Rita: "I appreciate this, but since it's nap time for the children now, would it be possibel for you to be as quiet as you can......?"


 * Hanne: YES!! .......... I understand."


 * Beyond a door left open were a bunch of children sleeping in small beds, all of them orphans. Orphanages like these exist in almost any town. Many of them, including this one, were founded by the Sisters of Clarith.


 * Rita: "Of course, we received assistance from the donations of many people when it was established" Dr. Felix was apparently the largest donar and she trails off into something seemingly sad (I assume regarding his condition).


 * Narration says Rita is the director of the Charity Institute. Dr. Felix seems to be an old acquaintance of hers. She was originally a midwife and explains that she had even helped deliver Margarita.


 * She then trails off again about how Margarita is also a poor child who was unlucky from the moment (she was born, I guess), "And now her father---"


 * Hanne: "Her birth!! ....... At the time of her birth, what happened?"


 * Rita says it was a rainy night. Rita and Marx were attending to his wife during her labor pains and it was going fairly well. Then something unexpected occurred (while Rita's talking, she's looking out the window at the sky).


 * Then lightning suddenly struck near the house/family. It could be said that Marx's mansion was lucky to not be struck but that wasn't the case for the wife. Somehow, her condition immediately changed following the lightning. When the baby was delivered, she was already gone. And also, the child didn't make a cry after birth; she wasn't breathing.


 * Hanne: "And that baby was.... She was Margarita?"


 * Rita confirms it and states she felt she hadn't helped them both. She just stood there (not crying), holding the dead baby while Marx sobbed, clinging to his dead wife. And then, a miracle occurred.


 * Rita approached a small, nearby altar(?) and took what looked like a red cloth from the drawer. She silently handed it to the curious Hanne and she discovers it was a patch of red cat fur, but seemed to be implanted with something so it was like cloth.


 * Rita continues: someone suddenly entered the house, hiding her head in a robe, she came with a tattered, sewn-together red cat on her shoulder. She silently held up a hand to the baby and then suddenly left. And then the baby they thought was dead made a loud cry.


 * At the same time that Rita cried, the cranky voices of a child from the back of the room was heard. She hurriedly went over and came back with the child cradled in her arms. She apologizes and says she got too excited.


 * She expresses her belief that the woman was a messenger (angel?) of God; that God took pity on the pathetic Margarita and showed her mercy. Sure, Margarita can't sleep but at least she's alive. Sure, she can't sleep, but she feels that's just a sign of God's grace.


 * Hanne asks if Margarita's inability to sleep is really her only abnormality and Rita confirms that's it; Marlix has lied about the things when she was born, but Margarita quickly grew up chearfully. Marx had been investigating her insomniac condition but seems to have given up since it didn't cause her any health problems.


 * Hanne: "So Mr. Felix had loved Margarita?"


 * Rita says he (of course) loved the one thing his dearest wife left behind. He wanted her to be as happy as possible. He had been making exchanges (talks) with Caspar's father for some time, having Margarita frequently visit the boy in the hopes that the two would marry.


 * Society believed Marx did it for the authority and power it brought, which Rita disagreed with. She believes he did it for Margarita's happiness.


 * The world's rumors or Rita's truth, which was true? There's no way for Hanne to know. Even if he were to wake up, she doubted he'd admit (unabashed) that he simply used his own daughter as a political tool.


 * Rita: "Of course...... I don't know if Margarita really became happy." As she muttered this, there was a tinge of anger in her eyes.


 * Throwing our "Lord Caspar's" honorific after saying it (he doesn't deserve it, I believe she says), she point out how much he is "scum" and how awfully he treated Margarita (dem strong words).


 * As she almost slammed her fists on the table in her seething anger, she remembered the sleeping children and slowly put them down. Unlike Hanne's first impression of her, she seemed a bit tempermental. Hanne tries calming her down while resisting her amped up excitement from her medicine. It was painful.


 * Rita continues on how Margarita make friends til and then she saw her bring Caspar's mistress to the charity institute (and she gets so choked up she starts crying shortly after).


 * Hanne: (This person's..... such a pain/so troublesome). However, she couldn't afford not to talk to her, especially about this misstress she mentioned. She asks about her.


 * Rita says she seemed to have come to help Margarita. It seemed Margarita half-forced her to come along as Margarita even did all the cooking and handing out to the children while the woman did nothing before they left. She said she was a strange woman who wore a robe and almost never spoke.


 * Hanne questions if she was really Caspar's mistress and Rita exlciaims that she had determined she was. She was wearing "distasteful" bright red clothes, so how could she not think that was an indecent/lascivious woman.


 * Hanne felt that was a bit prejudice in that but the red clothes reminded her of the mayor of Calgaround. Combined with the pharmacist's testimony, the woman Margarita brought along was definitely the mage.


 * What bothered Hanne was that this mage was apparently a "messenger of god" who revived Margarita. Unless Rita had seen a hallucination, she was doubtful it was the workings of a mage.

I'll edit this post and add the rest shortly.
