01x04 - His Butler, Colluding

[bunniefuu]

This is the school, huh?

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.

He's

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!

You goody two-shoes. You're so irritating!

What are you doing, you b*stards?!

I am terminating our brotherhood.

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.

-He's coming out.

-There he is!

You're amazing!

-He has the dormitory flower!

-I'm so jealous!

Congratulations!

Thanks

Look, he's the one who joined the P4 group

even though he just enrolled.

That's

Hey!

Look at you, Ciel. You're so popular!

I'm happy to see that

an introvert like you made friends!

It's as if I became

an opera singer or something.

These days, you have been putting on

quite the performance, after all.

Why don't you become an actor?

Are you picking a fight?

Of course, not.

I am genuinely praising you.

That's even worse.

You got rid of

the troublemaking Maurice Cole

and acquired the position you wanted

in one sweep.

Things are going smoothly, right?

But we're far from

fulfilling our ultimate goal.

The order from the queen

is to investigate the reason why

her blood relative, Derrick Arden,

and a few other students have

cooped themselves up in the school

and cut off contact with the world.

But we haven't even

seen their faces around

Not a single one of them.

This obviously is not normal.

I was thinking of

sending him back home by force,

but the queen specifically

asked us to find the reason.

She most likely

No, she definitely

knows that this is not

just a rebellious phase.

She knows something serious

is happening within this school.

But the school is

tightly protected by its own rules

and it's impossible to investigate.

They're basically prisoners.

And that is why you are trying to

get close to the prefects

who are the guards

enforcing the rules, right?

In a much more peaceful way than usual.

That's right.

But I'm still just a f*g

of a prefect's f*g.

f*g OF A PREFECT'S f*g

I can't attend the midnight tea party

held by the headmaster.

We still have a long way to go, it seems.

I want to go back to the manor

and relax while taking a bath.

Because of the scar on my back,

I have to go last and rush in and out.

Anyway, I finally made it into

the "P4 group" or whatever.

So I'll try to get information

on Derrick myself.

All right. We can probably expect

valuable information from

the prefect of the Violet Wolf,

where Master Derrick was transferred to.

Violet!

How long do I have to keep this pose?

Don't move until I finish drawing.

I'm asking when that's going to be!

What's the harm?

This is a form of training, isn't it?

Every year, whenever June 4th approaches,

people from the Green House

become so restless.

So it's good

to stay still once in a while.

The Red House too!

Whenever June 4th approaches,

the students start to lose focus

and their grades drop.

Um, what is happening on June 4th?

The dormitories compete

in a cricket tournament.

Cricket?

It's a traditional school tournament

that's been around for 100 years.

Remember the annual events, at least.

I I'm sorry.

I didn't think I was

going to be here for this long.

It's a grand event

that happens once a year.

Even the queen watches

the winning dormitory's boat parade

from Windsor Castle across the river.

The dormitories of this school have

always had a strong sense of rivalry.

So during this time of year,

everyone is on edge.

I couldn't care less about that though.

I hate everyone in other dormitories,

so I want to obliterate them!

More than that, I don't like having

so many people come to the school.

What? I thought outsiders

were not allowed to enter?

The tournament has

an opening event and closing event.

On those days only,

we are allowed to invite

family and relatives to

the main building's large dining hall.

Even women are allowed inside.

Escorting a beautiful woman is a way

to establish your status.

Although, I've never seen

Redmond do that before.

Having one fixed partner is not my style.

He's making him pose like that,

but he's not even drawing him.

Are you done?

-Not yet.

-What?

Lawrence walks around with

a bunch of women every year.

Those are not considered "women"!

If I remember correctly,

you have quite a few sisters, don't you?

I also have two older sisters.

How many do you have?

Three older sisters

and four younger sisters.

By the way, I'm the only boy.

Even having one younger sister

is so annoying.

My younger sister

is graceful and sensible,

so she doesn't cause any trouble!

Who is he talking about?

Honestly, I don't want to invite them.

-Something's not right.

-Huh?

But they insist on coming.

Violet I'm at my limit.

Just a little bit more. Don't move.

He's still not drawing Greenhill.

That reminds me, Phantomhive,

wasn't Midford's younger sister

your fiancée?

Huh?

-Will you invite her?

-Um

She will definitely come!

But to root for me!

She will not be rooting for this guy!

Well, it will be interesting to see

which team Elizabeth will sit by.

So, how far have you two gone?

-Have you at least kissed?

-What?

What?

You're a man, after all.

You must have done something, right?

-No, um

-Cheslock!

Lizzie is an angel,

so she will not do anything like that!

Don't disrespect my sister!

Why are you teary-eyed?

You're freaking me out!

-I am not!

-You are!

How stupid

People in closed environments

all turn out the same.

You're slacking off!

The opening event and closing event

are solely meant to boost the morale

of the players for the cricket tournament!

-It's not to dance with women Ouch!

-Don't move.

-What was that for?!

-I was so close to getting it right.

You ruined my masterpiece.

I'm sorry

He didn't draw his model even once.

But his art skills are genius-level.

Why is he so weird?

Normally, I would never want to

get involved with this type.

But I have to try to

be friendly and talk to him.

Do you dance too, Violet?

I hate it.

I get dizzy.

I see

End of conversation.

Oh, well. I have to change my strategy.

It might sound a bit forced but

I'm excited for June 4th now.

But it must be hard to compete against

friends you made in other dorms.

If you hold back during a serious match,

you are not a real friend.

That may be true

but it'll be hard for me

to fight against Phantomhive.

Me too, Harcourt.

I also have a friend in the Purple House.

Oh, is that why you came to our place?

Yes! His name is Derrick Arden.

Huh?

Derrick you said?

Um

Wasn't Derrick Arden

the son of Duke Clemens?

Yeah

I didn't know you knew him.

We played together a few times

when we were small.

The moment I mentioned Derrick's name,

the P4 were obviously shaken up.

Hey

But the f*gs are unfazed?

-Stop that.

-I should dig a little deeper.

In his letter, Derrick said that

he is in the Red House.

So I was surprised to find out

that he moved to the Purple House.

It was not until a while later

that we realized

his true personality.

At one point, he was my f*g.

He was a capable guy.

Yes, he was capable indeed.

He was very eccentric.

"Eccentric"?

The queen didn't mention

anything like that in her letter.

I see. The Purple House is where weirdo

students with specific talents

are gathered, after all.

What talent does Derrick have?

It's hard to say specifically,

but most likely it's that.

-Memorization.

-Cricket.

-Writing lyrics.

-Embroidery.

Huh? Um

Anyway, his transfer was

decided by the headmaster.

The headmaster's judgement

is always right.

And

The headmaster's decisions are absolute.

By the way, for the ceremony on June 4th

Something's not right.

Even if it's tradition,

how could the prefects

not know the reason?

Seeing how they reacted,

I am certain

that the P4 are trying to hide something.

But it'll draw suspicion

if I try to get more information now.

I shouldn't take it too far.

You brought me to

the back of the school building

to talk about Derrick Arden again?

I didn't think you were the type

to be so fixated on someone.

It just doesn't make sense.

Why would someone move dorms

when the dorms

are so hostile to each other?

Yeah, but it's not like Arden

was the only one who moved.

What?

I don't know much about other dorms,

but I know that a few people moved

from the Red House

to Purple House around the same time.

-What are their names?

-I don't know!

I said I don't know much.

Why did so many move at the same time?

Did they cause a problem?

I didn't hear about anything like that.

It's the headmaster's decision though.

I see

Even Edward is saying that

Sorry for taking your time. Thanks.

Ciel!

What did you come to this school for?

Are you here as a Watchdog

You don't have to worry about that.

See you.

Gleason, Hardy, Isaac, and Thewlis?

They were transferred to the Purple House

about half a year ago.

I should've just asked him

from the beginning.

Hey, why are you so curious

about other dormitories?

I'd actually like to know why you aren't.

Huh?

Because the headmaster made the decision.

Even he brings up the headmaster

They're probably trying to

balance out the numbers.

The Purple House

has a lot of eccentric people,

so they have a lot of dropouts.

More than that, I want to know

what you talk about with the P4.

-I want to know!

-Me too!

Sorry, I was asked to do some stuff

for an upper-year.

-Let's talk about that another time.

-Okay

-Do your best!

-Do your best!

I don't have time for this.

Um, can I ask you something?

Derrick Arden?

I remember him being a fast runner

The one who was an excellent dancer?

I heard his painting won an award.

Wasn't he an expert on manuscripts?

So, why was he transferred?

Who knows?

It was the headmaster's decision.

When I ask about Derrick,

everyone has a different answer.

What kind of person was Derrick at school?

What's more is that not a single person

finds his transfer strange.

They've completely given up on thinking.

You're not with your friends today?

The "elites of a prestigious school," huh?

Don't make me laugh.

Hey!

You're worse than a sheep on a farm.

Huh? Did I do something to make you mad?

-Derrick Arden, huh?

-Yes.

I'm worried,

because he hasn't been attending class.

I'm surprised you care so much

about students from other dormitories.

What's important

is not what dorm they are in.

He was a very capable student.

I see. Then why was he assigned to

a different dormitory?

Who knows? The headmaster

is the one who decided that.

Maybe he stopped attending class

because he was upset about the transfer?

Who knows? The headmaster

is the one who decided that.

Mr. Agares!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Are you all right?

Shall I take you to the infirmary?

No, it's fine. Thank you.

"The spirit does indeed exist.

Death does not end everything.

The pale soul"

What does he want to see me for?

Hey, Se

Oh, what are you doing here

this late at night?

Are you searching for something?

No

Goodbye,

Mr. Michaelis.

I apologize for being rough.

It seemed like you were being watched.

I attracted too much attention.

But all that snooping around

was for nothing.

No matter what I ask, they end with,

"It's the headmaster's decision."

All of the staff are the same way.

You too? We are getting nowhere with this.

If this is how it's going to be,

I will use

any means possible

to get in contact with Derrick.

Come with me, Sebastian.

However, young master,

walking around at this hour

will earn you two Y for sure.

Isn't punishing students

a teacher's job, Mr. Michaelis?

Oh, that's right.

So, how are you going to

meet up with Master Derrick?

If you get caught,

it will become a big problem.

That's easy. If I can't get inside,

we'll have him come out!

True

Do you know Article 87 of

the Weston College code of conduct?

In the event that an emergency,

such as a fire

occurs in the school or dormitory,

all students must evacuate

to the schoolyard immediately

and have the prefects take roll call.

Exactly.

This is a horrible deed that can get you

expelled if you're found out, Phantomhive.

But as Queen's Watchdog,

it is an impressive plan, young master.

Bluewer was right.

It's good to memorize the code of conduct.

-It's a fire!

-Report to the head of the dorm!

We finally get to meet Derrick Arden.
