01x03 - His Butler, Plotting

[bunniefuu]

They're here! It's the Prefect Four!

Prefect?

They're basically the heads of the dorms.

So

"Investigate the reason why students

are not coming home from Weston College."

That is the order?

You stay under the radar and assist me.

A f*g?

The closest thing I can compare it to

is an on-campus brotherhood.

Oh, and also,

the f*gs of prefects are a little special.

I heard they can

also accompany the P4 to the midnight

tea party organized by the headmaster.

I'm Maurice Cole, Redmond's f*g.

We got to talking about

a very capable new student.

We'll be waiting for you tomorrow,

at 2 p.m. at the Swan Gazebo.

How dare you come two hours late!

I was told it was at four o'clock

What? I'm sure I told you that it was

at two o'clock.

Not only did you betray my expectations,

but also that of the upper-years!

Get out!

Damn it!

If only I had another pawn inside

the Red House, where Maurice is.

That's where Derrick was, as well

We need someone with enough

status and wealth to be assigned to

the Scarlet Fox, where people of

particularly noble birth go.

Damn it! I have no other choice!

Phantomhive are you asleep?

No.

Hey, can I come over there

and talk to you?

Sure.

I'm sorry I couldn't

stand up for you at school.

It's fine.

We have to survive six years here.

Anybody would do the same.

But why did you do such a thing?

Why would you ignore the P4's invitation?

I didn't mean to do that.

I was told to be there at four o'clock,

-but it was really two o'clock.

-What?

-But we heard "four o'clock" too.

-Right?

But what's done is done.

Hey, I will testify on your behalf.

What?

If my word alone isn't credible enough,

I can gather a few others for you.

Everyone was eavesdropping,

so I'm sure it'll work out.

After all, you aren't in the wrong.

Really?

That would be helpful. Thanks, McMillan.

It's nothing!

ORIGINAL WORK BY YANA TOBOSO

-What is that?

-Whoa!

-Wow!

-Look at that!

Wow, this is the school, huh?

It's pretty huge!

It's almost as big as my home!

That's an elephant?

Amazing!

So he was actually

put in the Red House, huh?

The status and wealth of the Indian

royal family isn't just for show.

How interesting!

I did not expect him to

come to school on an elephant though.

Hey, Ciel! I'm here, as promised!

That idiot!

I specifically asked him to act like

he doesn't know me!

I was so surprised to receive

your letter out of the blue!

You should've told me you were lonely.

I would've come with you!

Ciel! Hey! Are you listening?

Might as well go together!

Don't be ridiculous! Put me down, now!

I knew I shouldn't have called you over!

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

You're doing better than I imagined.

Agni made a fuss

about wanting to come too,

but I guess you're not allowed to bring

servants to public schools.

That's the general rule.

Your Highness!

Soma, there's a reason

why I called you over.

Oh, what? Tell me.

The truth is,

I had a fight with Maurice Cole,

an upper-year in the Red House,

where you're assigned.

I see.

As you know, I don't have many friends.

So I don't know how to make amends.

So I want your help in

Okay, I understand!

I will help you,

my introverted and pessimistic friend!

Hey, that's going too far.

Who knew you had

that kind of self-awareness.

For starters, why don't we all

enjoy a curry dinner?

No, we can't do that.

Why not?

It seems he's so mad at me

that he doesn't want to see my face.

That's why I want to get to

know him better before talking to him.

I want you to observe Maurice

and tell me about him.

Especially what he's like

in the Red House, where I can't see him.

Every detail counts.

And keep it a secret.

All right. I'll keep it a secret.

Don't worry.

Leave it to me, your best friend.

Yeah I'm counting on you.

Hey, you. Be nice to Ciel.

Huh?

He dishonored the prefects.

As one of their f*gs,

there is no way I can forgive him.

Hey, is there really no way?

You know,

there are good things about him too.

Hey, you just need to talk it out.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, are you listening?

What is your problem?!

Stop following me around!

He kind of reminds me of Ciel.

I'm bored! Let me go visit Ciel!

All right, go elephant!

What?

Not that way!

Finally, it's nice and quiet.

Huh? Wait No way!

Kadar, you get five Ys.

You're not allowed to

ride your elephant on campus.

-My bad.

-Say, "I am sorry"!

What should we do?

We don't have extra rooms right now.

Want to stay in my room for now?

What?

No, please use my bed!

Huh? What are you saying?

Why would I stay in your

I am a man who takes responsibility.

That's admirable, Kadar.

-I'll leave it to you, then.

-Wait, Redmond

All right! I'll show you the way.

Use this bed.

Huh?

What is he doing this late at night?

The post room?

Oh, he's

Welcome, Prince Soma.

The young master is waiting inside.

I thought we weren't allowed

to bring our servants!

There were unavoidable circumstances.

Prince Soma.

Please keep it a secret

that I am the young master's butler.

If you let it slip

I I won't!

So, did you find out anything?

Yeah, actually,

he was secretly delivering cards

to his fellow dormmates

in the middle of the night.

And a whole bunch at that.

Cards, you say?

Don't know why he doesn't

talk to them directly.

We may be able to find evidence.

All I need to do now is figure out

how to repair our friendship

Oh, one more thing

What?

Young master

Yeah, now I have all that I need.

Thank you. I owe you one.

Bye! You can always rely on me!

It's time for a strategy meeting,

Sebastian.

Understood.

We'll settle this tomorrow.

So, what do you want?

Why did you call me here?

I have to go to the Swan Gazebo, you know?

This won't take long.

I just want to confirm something.

Cole, as I thought, it seems as though

you misinformed me about

the invitation the other day.

You're still saying that?

It's not good to blame others.

My friend confirmed

with my classmates for me.

You are the prettiest boy in school,

so there were many bystanders.

I have 18 witnesses that can testify

to hearing you mistakenly say,

"four o'clock."

Actually,

"mistakenly" isn't the right word.

You purposely

said the wrong time, after all.

What an absurd accusation.

Then what about the other four cases,

including Joanne Harcourt?

What?

Cole says that

he certainly handed me

an invitation to the Swan Gazebo.

But I never received anything.

Of the students who were invited

to the Swan Gazebo by the prefects,

all of those who were no-shows

report your misinformation as the reason.

You use your position as a prefect's f*g

to discredit the weak.

That's exactly the kind of cowardly,

sly thing a big fat liar would do!

Not just that,

you even depend on others to do

your work as a prefect's f*g.

Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

When Redmond asked you

to organize the data,

iron his clothes, polish his shoes,

and make snacks,

you didn't do a single thing yourself!

Your "capableness" is all a lie!

Wow, that's quite the imagination.

How can you say that without any proof?

Proof?

I have it.

Th That's

You know, right?

It's the card you use to delegate

work to your cronies.

This is from when you asked them

to organize data.

This is for ironing.

This is for shoe polishing.

This is from when you asked

the Red House cook to prepare a snack.

Would you like me to continue?

I have lots more.

Every single one even has

the date and time written

in your handwriting.

I strictly told them to discard those!

They did discard them.

Thank goodness it was

before the garbage pickup.

You know, it was a lot of work

finding these small cards

out of the mountain of garbage

collected from the entire school.

On top of that,

they were torn into tiny pieces.

Restoring them was a difficult process.

What would Redmond think

if he finds out about this?

Are you not embarrassed with yourself,

as a student at this long-established

Weston College?

At this point,

I don't mind forgiving you

for tricking us.

But you should tell Redmond the truth.

You share a brotherhood founded on trust,

don't you?

You're right.

I'll tell him everything.

As if I'd actually say that!

Did you really think

I'd come here unprepared?

You must be stupid.

There, destruction of evidence.

You finally found these,

but that's too bad.

You're so annoying. What is your problem?

Just because

the upper-years like you a little,

you think you're all that.

Using others is just another

aspect of being capable.

I'm graciously making good use

of unremarkable people.

Me, the most beautiful person

in this school.

Whether or not you become

a prefect in this school

will change your life completely.

You don't even know

how much I've been sucking up

to the prefects for that reason.

An earl like you

wouldn't know what it's like

for the younger son

who can't inherit a title.

I don't see any value in victory

that is won through fake power.

You goody-two-shoes.

You're so irritating!

The next prefect of the Red House

will be me!

Redmond's favorite will also be me!

The most beautiful person here

is also me!

What are you

You're an idiot for choosing

such a secluded place.

Nobody is going to save you.

All right, let's take a photo.

One that's so humiliating,

it would make you want to die.

Okay, go ahead.

Please stop!

What are you doing, you b*stards!

You are guilty of making me break my oath

to never use violence again.

Cole!

Please, Greenhill, don't tell Redmond

Don't you have to tell us

to stay quiet too?

Bluewer? Violet?

Why are you here?

Who wouldn't rush over upon hearing

the capable and brilliant

Maurice Cole is resorting to violence?

But the Swan Gazebo where

all the prefects are is so far away.

-They can't hear

-You know.

Sound isn't transmitted by volume,

but by vibrations.

As long as you can transmit vibrations,

you can theoretically transmit sound

no matter how far the distance.

For example, if you connect

thin and flat surfaces with

a tense thread,

which carries vibrations easily,

you can create a device

to transmit sound to a distant place.

That's right

Just like this.

No way

No way

No way!

I heard everything.

Re Redmond

I can't believe you betrayed me as well.

I'm disappointed in myself

for being a terrible judge of character.

-N No!

-I don't want to hear excuses.

You've let me down, Cole!

I am terminating our brotherhood.

Cole,

as long as you deal with others

as your true self from now on,

I'm sure you will regain their trust.

Phantomhive

With that in mind,

I shared your "true self"

with everyone for you.

You should be proud.

Your makeup skills are legitimate.

Ciel.

I'm sorry for falsely accusing you.

Please forgive me.

No matter what the reason was,

it doesn't change that I was late.

You don't have to apologize, Edward.

But man, I didn't think you were

the type to take action like this.

No wonder Midford respects you.

You are really interesting.

That was courageous of you, Phantomhive.

He smiled

Th Thank you.

When I thought about those

who experienced similar hardships,

I couldn't help myself.

I've always been this way.

I can't stand injustice.

You adhere to tradition,

are free of deceit,

and are pure and virtuous.

That is exactly how

a student of this school should be.

I vow to Saint George that I will neither

betray nor become proud,

and that I will continue

to build a relationship

of mutual enhancement

until the day I leave this sacred school.

I propose that we enter a f*g contract,

Ciel Phantomhive.

I gladly accept.
