Butlers: Chitose Momotose Monogatari

Are you all right?

You're...

Tenna...

Are you all right?

Do you remember where you're from or anything else?

Are you curious about that mansion?

It's a pretty old building.

Apparently, a hundred years ago, a certain family lived there,

but no one lives there now.

A hundred years ago...

Here, drink this.

Rest for today.

You'll have nothing to worry about if you stay here.

I'm here for you, and I'm sure your family will turn up.

I don't...

have anyone else...

Not anymore...

Episode 2 Outside and Inside

J-kun.

Mikuni-san... I mean, Headmaster.

I told you that you can just call me Mikuni when we're alone.

Were you at the library?

Yes.

If you're heading to the student council room, I'll drive you there.

I'll take you up on that offer.

Reminds you of last winter, doesn't it?

Yes.

That day, you came to this world.

Though, when you said you had arrived from a hundred years ago,

I couldn't believe you at first.

But when I saw that mark, I thought it might actually be possible...

Plus, you knew every detail about that old mansion,

even things that I didn't know.

I don't know what your life was like when you lived here before,

but according to old documents, you all had special powers.

And among you was a special priestess called the Blood Spirit.

Onii-chan...

I can't really remember.

I see... Why were you the only one to end up in this world?

I don't know,

but I will definitely find out.

Yes, and I'll help you.

But don't stress over it too much.

This is where you belong now.

Yes, sir. Thank you for the ride.

A hundred years ago, because of the incident with Tenna,

my family's bloodline disappeared from this town.

There aren't any documents regarding what happened afterwards.

What happened to Tenna back then? Why did I end up in this world?

If I can find either of those answers,

I might be able to return to my world and save Tenna.

And the clue to that is...

Here's your point card back.

Thank you.

Here's a coupon for a free coffee. Would you like one?

Yes.

May I have one, too?

Of course.

Say, Pi-chan.

Why haven't we had a single customer today?

This is rare. Usually, we're quite busy at this hour.

Go take a look outside, Hayakawa-kun! Maybe the world ended!

Or maybe aliens came and took everyone away!

What are you talking about?

There has to be something going on!

You're so noisy.

You've got a customer right here.

Dracula-kun,

how many times do I have to tell you that you're not supposed to sleep here?

Well, I ordered coffee.

Act like that, and you're going to get even fewer customers.

This place has a really bad rep.

Wait, it does?!

Yep.

"I heard that shop is bad news! One of the employees won't stop hitting on girls!"

"Aw, Hayakawa-san was my type, too. How disappointing!"

"I hope that café goes under!"

G-Gimme that!

Café de Wayne employee is dangerous!! "Guy hitting on all the girls" Apparently he's hitting on all the girls who go to the café That place is bad news! One of the employees won't stop hitting on girls~ He may be hot, but who does he think he is?

This is why no one's coming.

That guy hit on my friend, too Oh, that hot guy! I liked him, too He's awful I hope that place goes under So he's hitting on everyone But he's so hot I can't believe he hits on any girl Girls are complaining but they'd be happy if he talked to them

Is this true?

No. I was just handing out flyers for the café.

Of course... There's no way you'd hit on our customers.

Well, I'm sure your customers will eventually return.

They say that rumors last about 49 days.

I believe it's 75 days, actually...

49 days is the period of mourning.

I-I guess they say that, too.

But 75 days is more than two months!

We'll go under if no one comes for that long!

This doesn't really concern me, but I don't want to lose my napping spot.

I say we just need to find whoever spread the rumors,

and have them admit that it was all a lie.

But who's spreading these rumors?

Who knows? Probably someone who's got a grudge against this café, or you personally.

Anyone come to mind?

No, I haven't the slightest idea.

Hayakawa-kun isn't the type to do stuff that would make anyone hold a grudge.

And I don't really like the idea of trying to track down a suspect.

Maybe you should hire a new employee.

I don't want to cause you any trouble.

But it's not your fault, Hayakawa-kun!

Besides, if you quit now, it's like saying the rumors were true.

You really want to let such petty lies win?

Yes, that's probably what your enemy wants.

Hmm... I've got it!

Leave everything to me.

I know that I asked for a background check,

but I didn't ask you to go any further than that.

Well, we heard he was suspicious, so...

W-We're sorry.

You're dismissed.

P-Please excuse us.

Hey, J. Who were those two?

We were talking about their career paths.

Oh... I see.

I went ahead and collected all the club applications.

I'll leave them here.

Thanks.

If there's anything that I can help with, let me know.

You shouldn't try to take on everything by yourself.

Got it.

Cheap Gourmet for Men Cooking for Men

Wait.

You can leave it. I was just looking something up.

Looking something up? You actually cook, J?

Cheap Gourmet for Men

Yeah, I do.

Wow, that's surprising.

Make me something sometime. How about next weekend?

I have plans.

Then how about the weekend after that?

I want to get all my student council work done by the end of school today.

Could we talk about this later?

You're so difficult, J-kun. But I guess that's also what makes you interesting.

You don't try to act like a friend when you don't mean it, like other people do.

A friend?

Yep! Though I guess it's unrequited on my part, for now.

Well, see ya.

Here you are, Tenna-sama.

This is delicious!

I'm honored to hear that you enjoy it.

Thank you, Hayakawa-san.

It is our duty as Butlers to serve and protect you.

Isn't that right, J?

It's a little early for a break, isn't it?

Guess you caught me. Observant as ever, Hayakawa-san.

Get back to work.

Yes, sir!

Jeez, get it together, Onii-chan.

Senpai? J-senpai!
