01x09 - His Butler, Having a Laugh

[bunniefuu]

The Miracle of Sapphires, once again!

Hurray!

I am so happy that

we all won this match together!

We were able to prove

that we can do it,

if we put our minds to it.

Your Majesty,

I promise that I will

present the truth to you.

To Her Majesty The Queen

we salute!

The Blue House never disappoints!

It's so bright

my eyes are burning.

No way! This is amazing!

You were invited

to the midnight tea party!

We welcome you, Phantomhive

To the midnight tea party.

So that's

the absolute monarch of Weston College,

the headmaster.

They are obviously hiding something.

It's about Derrick Arden and his friends.

I cannot toast until I see them.

Five students have disappeared

from a public school where

students are strictly supervised

every day.

This is obviously an abnormal situation.

Headmaster,

let's ask Scotland Yard for help.

There is no need to do that.

That is because they are in this school.

ORIGINAL WORK BY YANA TOBOSO

Derrick Arden?

He was alive and well?

Then why has he been hiding?

What was all that about? He's here.

Arden

Are you really?

Hey.

I smell the sweet fragrance of tea.

Arden

Hey, you!

What are you doing?!

That scar!

It's the same as the ones we saw

on the Campania.

I summon you, Sebastian!

Mr. Michaelis?

I order you to capture Derrick!

Yes, my lord.

As an English gentleman,

you must follow

the rules of etiquette at a tea party!

-My arm

-Greenhill!

Let me tend to his wound.

He bit off quite a bit of your arm.

-Raise his arm up.

-Okay!

Why is Mr. Michaelis here?

What in the world is going on?

I guess his episode

was insufficient, after all.

Episode?

What do you mean by that?

Mr. Michaelis

Or rather, Sebastian, is my butler.

-Mr. Michaelis is a butler?

-What?

And I enrolled into this school to

investigate about Derrick and his friends.

However

No wonder Sebastian

wasn't able to find them.

Derrick was already dead.

Dead?

What are you saying?

He's moving as we speak.

I smell the sweet fragrance of tea.

Well then,

why don't you explain what is going on

headmaster?!

Phantomhive! What are you doing

Clayton!

Ciel is I mean,

the Earl of Phantomhive

is not to be messed with.

Damn it! What is going on?

I've seen other humans

who have ended up like Derrick.

Tell me what you did to Derrick!

We

just wanted to protect

Protect?

The saint who symbolizes this school,

Saint George,

defeated a dragon who was

disrupting the peace

and protected the nation,

according to legend.

In other words, the root of evil

must be removed to escape disaster.

All we did was follow that principle.

That is why

we

k*lled Derrick.

He's not breathing.

It's all my fault

What have I done?

Calm down, Greenhill.

It was meant to be.

Actually There was no other option.

That's right But what should we do?

At this rate,

Greenhill will take the blame.

I have an idea.

Will you let me handle this?

They're coming

as soon as they can tomorrow.

That's good.

It'll all be okay now.

Everything will work out.

Hey! So you're the nephew

of the Viscount of Druitt, huh?

Both your social status

and your looks are quite impressive!

The Phoenix!

I am Rian Stoker.

Outwardly, I work as

the director of Karnstein Hospital.

H Hello.

And this is my research partner

D Don't tell me

And so we entered a contract

with him.

Interesting. Now I see the connection.

Derrick Arden,

the student whose entire soul disappeared.

The headmaster,

who was able to evade my pursuit.

The Aurora Society,

a secret society whose goal is

to revive the dead.

What started out as

an insignificant and small incident

turned into such a complicated mystery

all because of

you.

The headmaster has nothing to do with it!

We, the prefects, did everything

I never said it was the headmaster.

Right?

Isn't it time for both of us to stop

pretending to be teachers?

I was rather fond of this job too

Watching you struggle

from the grand tier was so amusing.

It provided me with an exceptional laugh.

You're

Undertaker!

Undertaker

This man, who makes a living

as an undertaker,

has been assisting the Phantomhive house,

who are the Queen's Watchdogs,

since my predecessor's time.

He used to be a slightly troublesome

but useful informant to me.

Welcome, my earl.

Have you finally decided to enter

the coffin I made specially for you?

Come on, give me an exceptional laugh.

If you do, I will tell you anything.

I guess I have no choice.

I will tell you anything.

I knew I couldn't save them.

I knew, and I still let them die.

Even my own relative

-Do you regret it?

-I do not.

This is the karma

our family must live with.

That ring is almost like a collar.

It ties you to the queen

with a chain called "karma."

I pray that you do not

end up hanging yourself

with that collar one day.

The Aurora Society

has a specified greeting.

-What kind of greeting?

-That is

-The Phoenix!

-The Phoenix!

I will show you

the army of the dead grovel at my feet!

Oh?

No.

I haven't laughed this much in a while.

How sad would it be

for laughter to disappear from this place.

Those yellow-green eyes

are definitely that of

a Grim Reaper!

Undertaker is a Grim Reaper?

Well then, shall I hunt you all now?

My earl,

I will leave that in your hands for now.

Take good care of it, will you?

It's my treasure.

Wait, Undertaker!

Goodbye, my earl.

Until we meet again.

Hello, my earl.

I was worried, ever since you were thrown

into the sea in the middle of winter.

I'm glad that you seem to be doing well.

Long time no see.

Don't even try!

It's all your fault to begin with!

I was wondering where you went off to

after closing up shop.

Who knew you found a job at a school?

It's just a temporary position though.

My goodness

Our search for a runaway

has taken a dramatic turn of events.

The four of you k*lled Master Derrick

and asked the Aurora Society

to resurrect him.

You went to this much trouble

to protect what exactly?

He

Derrick Arden had no place in our school.

What does that mean?

Well

We will announce

the prefects for this year.

Scarlet Fox dormitory, Edgar Redmond.

Sapphire Owl dormitory, Lawrence Bluewer.

Green Lion dormitory, Herman Greenhill.

Violet Wolf dormitory, Gregory Violet.

The four of us

As prefects

of the long-standing Weston College

Will endeavor to govern

the school with pride

This we swear.

Yes!

We've finally made it here!

Here we go

Yeah

It's been five years since we enrolled.

We've finally become prefects!

That's right!

Lawrence?

I'm sorry

I can't put it into words

Bullying?

Yeah, we got an anonymous note

in the suggestion box.

It said,

"Please pay more careful attention."

Article five of the school code of conduct

says, "All students must be treated

equally under the headmaster."

That's just unacceptable!

Please let me patrol.

How admirable, Derrick.

I'll leave that to you then.

Yes!

He's so dependable.

He's the captain

of his local cricket team.

He has professional-level

embroidery skills.

His papers always get great scores.

He's a genius at writing poetry too.

He was the son of a duke,

he had a cheerful personality,

and he had abundant talents.

Derrick Arden was dazzling.

That is why we failed to notice

the dark shadow

that his light was producing.

Leaving campus without permission

is against the rules.

And you were drinking on top of that?

Disrupting order tarnishes

the school and your family's reputation!

I'm sorry!

You get three Ys. Turn it in by next week.

Yes

That reminds me

Is there any update

regarding the issue with bullying?

The thing is,

there was nothing out of the ordinary.

A lot of those notes are fake, after all.

I see

We received two notes today.

"Please increase the amount of water

for face washing in the morning."

And then What's this?

"A poem for the prefects"?

"Thor is by a peaceful lakeside

With a torch beside him

Listening to the gracious apostle

Playing the harp made of baroque pearls

A mischievous fairy appears

and drops the torch into the lake

The torch's flame dies

And the lake becomes filled with stars

The beautiful lake goes on to become

A legendary healing lake

But the god who was robbed of his light

Continues to wander in the night"

A poem dedicated to the prefects, huh?

People really look up to you, don't they?

Why did you call us here out of the blue?

I'm sleepy.

That poem from the other day

was a message to us.

Thor, the god of thunder,

is the origin of the word "Thursday."

The gracious apostle refers to

the apostle John whose name means

"God is gracious" in Hebrew.

The harp made of baroque pearls

must mean Baroque music.

The "John" of Baroque music must refer to

Johann Sebastian Bach.

And the Bach statue is in the music room.

The "dying torch flame" points to

when the lights go out in the dorm.

That poem

had a date and time

cleverly hidden inside it.

And as to who it's for

The poem was dedicated to us prefects.

So in other words,

they're telling us to go to

the music room on Thursday,

after the lights go out in the dorm?

Yes. It's a well-thought-out poem

that was made to

tell us, and only us, something.

But the poem itself

is a beautiful piece on its own.

But

how did you figure out its true meaning?

It's probably easier to see under a lamp.

At first glance, it's all black ink.

But actually, words with a double meaning

are written in dark blue ink.

Other than that, anybody who has

knowledge of poetry

would notice the message.

However

I can't decipher the last part

about him being "robbed of his light."

Come on! Get up!

What are you doing?!

Derrick?

That's right

What they meant by

"robbed of his light"
