Rewrite (リライト)

The barrier has been broken?

And by brute force, at that...

What did you say?

Who did it?!

Excuse me. It looks like I knocked a little too hard.

Sakuya!

Is it time for my morning feecof?

Idiot! Stay away!

This is a surprise.

I never expected Lady Key to be here, too.

What?!

As long as I'm collecting Kotori-san, why don't I bring you, too?

Oh, do not fret.

We will be very hospitable to you both over at Gaia.

Sakuya!

If you're going to pretend to be a knight,

weak as you are, I hope you'll show me everything you've got.

Okay, then. I'll do this!

What is this?

Yay! You finally showed up!

Gil?

Now, I will get my revenge!

Okay, Sensei, please take care of him!

Gil-chan, you are so pathetic.

As you can see, my spies have been exposed.

Do you understand how perilous the current situation has become?

With that said, are you in need of an all-purpose butler

who can cook, clean, do the laundry, and even fight?

Huh?

I'm a traitor.

It was a spur of the moment thing!

Episode 10 "Simply, As Friends"

I simply got mixed up in all of this!

It is a fine barrier.

However, and pardon me for saying so,

it would be a bit lacking in both defense and strength

if pitted against top-rate monster users or superhumans.

I-Is that right?

So, that's how you sent those two here to manipulate us?

Yes.

Well, to be precise, I was the one sent here.

Huh?

It appears we will need to take some precautionary measures.

Can you take care of this, Sakuya?

Please watch Tennouji, and if possible, any activity in his vicinity.

Huh? I would prefer not.

Hey!

Well, jokes aside,

doing so would mean leaving Chihaya-san's side.

It's all right!

After all, look!

I have this power that you gave me, Sakuya!

Understood.

The president and Chihaya sent you?

But I cannot act too overtly, given Chihaya-san's position.

Support is all I can offer.

Not a problem! Having you here is really reassuring!

Thank you very much.

Please allow me to support you as your butler.

In that case, train me!

Please.

My intensive training is very strict.

How long are you gonna keep me waiting?!

Oh dear.

You're so impatient, Slowtarou-kun.

Half-baked imitations of my skills won't help you take on professionals or monsters.

If there is anything that I can impart upon you,

it is pain and experience.

That won't do.

You can't let your mind go blank over something so minor during combat.

Oh, please use the blades in your right hand as well.

It will be over in a second otherwise.

Fine! To hell with it!

K-Kagari!

Wh-What is it?

Kotori, what is Kotarou doing?

Intensive training with Sakuya-san.

Don't interrupt them, okay?

He's working hard for your sake.

Good! Let him have it!

Kagari-san, you are so loved!

When a man starts pushing himself this hard, it's usually for the one he loves.

Loves?

He's working hard for your sake.

You're all beat up.

Right, Kagari?

Let me give you this.

It is supreme feecof, which Kotori taught me how to brew.

You made this?

What brought this on?

How is my Kagari-chan blend?

This is definitely your sort of flavor.

But thanks.

Huh?

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh.

Have you all gotten together for a tea party?

Kagari made us all coffee.

Would you also like some, Sakuya-san?

That is very intriguing!

I'll gladly have some.

It is quite... skillfully made...

I-In gratitude, allow me to serve you coffee I have put all of my skill into making.

Your feecof is gross, Sakuya.

You broke his heart!

Frankly, coffee that's on sale for 55 yen a can is good enough for Kagari.

How foolish!

Very well!

I will show you what a butler is really capable of!

Why don't you direct even one percent of that enthusiasm toward me?

All right!

Damn it!

Damn!

We have completely run out of supplies!

Huh? For real?

It was originally only supposed to be me and Kagari here,

so we need to go shopping.

I'll go, then.

It's boring here, and Sakuya's feecof is gross.

Uh, the butler over there is in a rather hilarious state right now...

I don't really want to let Kagari leave this place...

Then, I shall accompany her as a guard.

Luckily, the Harvest Festa starts in the city today.

Neither Guardian nor Gaia should have perfect surveillance in place.

Okay. I'm counting on you for the rest.

Gotcha!

I'm on the ball again today!

Come on. Let's go to the library.

Sounds good!

That was close.

I've been holed up in the forest and skipping school lately,

so it's kind of hard to face the guys from class.

Well, then.

Now that we've finished shopping,

there is someone I would like the two of you to meet.

And who would that be?

Go ahead. Right through here.

Welcome, Gypsy,

to my mystical room.

It wasn't even that long ago, but this is kind of nostalgic, President.

You're right. It really is.

However, I'm not here today as the president of the occult club.

I'm here as the Martel Group's next saint.

Saint?

Wait, Martel?

On the surface, it's an environmental protection agency,

but behind the scenes,

it's an organization that has waged bloody war over the Key since ancient times...

Gaia.

Gaia was actually the Martel Group?

So that's where your mysterious influence came from?

Kagari-san, wasn't it?

If you can understand me, then there is something I've always wanted to ask you.

For what purpose does an avatar of the planet

go out of its way to judge human beings, as trifling as we are?

I don't know.

I'm currently searching for myself.

I think I'll understand once I find what I'm looking for.

P-President?

What the hell?

If that's how you are,

then what have I...

Even petty, minuscule humans have created many wonderful things.

Like the Internet, and the Internet...

And this feecof is right up there.

I will give it to you, so cheer up.

Of the gifts Kotarou has given me, feecof is my favorite.

Something like this won over the Key?

Tennouji, remember this?

If I recall, this is from back then...

25) You have power, and are discontent with this world. Tell me, do you wish to change this world? Or do you wish to change yourself?

The World (2) Myself

I never expected you would answer like this.

I don't know.

I will do what I can, in the place I belong.

Even if it proves futile.

My time with you... No.

My time with all of you wasn't bad.

See you.

This really will be the last time we meet.

Please wait, President.

Aren't you forgetting something important?

Something important?

Yes!

Namely, boobs!

Huh?

You promised I could touch your boobs if I proved the occult exists!

This whole ordeal is, without a doubt, the occult!

Hey! You bring that up now, in this situation?

Boobs transcend all reason and situations!

That's just how boobs work!

Wh-Why you...

What's all this about boobs?

There! Go fetch!

Wait!

That nuisance is gone!

Y-You beast!

Oh, fine!

Do whatever you want!

I'll help myself, then!
