Butlers: Chitose Momotose Monogatari

Come to think of it, I heard some bad rumors about an employee there.

That guy hit on my friend, too Oh, that hot guy! I liked him, too He's awful I hope that place goes under

Is this true?

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

I agree,

but you can't judge people by their appearances.

Could the one who spread the rumors be...

Nah...

Episode 3 Misunderstandings

You can probably guess why I gathered you all here.

It's about the Koyomi Town revival event that's coming up soon.

Right, it's your first time, isn't it, J?

It's a huge event that's put on every year

by the student council, with help from the neighborhood association.

Its success depends greatly on the direction of that year's student council.

Basically, our abilities will be tested.

I see...

Then we need to carefully consider how we're going to direct this.

Let's go ahead and split up our duties for the event.

Haruto, I'd like you to take care of the stalls that'll be at the event.

Got it.

Ren, you take care of judging and managing

the clubs that'll be participating.

Understood.

As for Hotaru, I'm going to have him manage all of the expenses for the event, but...

Where is he?

Don't worry. I'll relay the message to him.

Hey, hey! Want some candy, Satsuki-chan?

We're not allowed to have sweets at school.

Aw, it's fine. Right?

Right, Satsuki-chan?

That's enough, Aoba-kun. Also, it's "Mikami-sensei."

Aw, but Satsuki-chan sounds cuter.

And you can call me "Hotaru," too.

I can't do that.

Aw, don't be shy.

I'm gonna pokity-poke your cheek.

Come on, stop that!

Hotaru...

What are you doing, skipping a student council meeting?

Oho? I think I smell a case.

It would seem Aoba Hotaru has feelings for that music teacher.

Talk about a scoop!

Holmes! Watson!

Hey.

Wh-What a coincidence.

What are you—

Are you planning to write about this in the paper?

But of course!

A forbidden love affair between teacher and student.

It's a big case waiting to happen.

It's just what we need to excite all the readers who are tired

of the same old gossip.

I will not allow you to hurt Hotaru.

You're playing it cool, but you were looking in on them yourself.

You're acting as if you don't care, but you want to know the truth, don't you?

What?

We'll investigate for you.

All right, Watson-kun, let us start our investigation.

You got it, Holmes.

Wait! Don't meddle—

Hey, Shiratori-senpai.

Please judge us for the event!

Please!

P-Please wait!

Take Shiratori-senpai.

Yeah!

I-I don't like sweat!

P-P-Please don't!

Why are you running away?

Wait up!

Stay away!

That's the outline of the event.

I'd like you all to help out with it.

I need all of your strength to make this event a success.

Right! We'll do our best!

J-sama is so wonderful.

He's so charismatic!

Let's do our best for J-sama!

Yeah!

You're amazing, J.

Amazing, my ass!

How dare he attract more attention than me?!

Dracula...

Just woke up, and already jealous? Why don't you stop complaining and help out?

Shut up! Don't order me around!

And you're the last one I want to hear anything from, Hizakura Haruto!

Hear me! One day, our company will surpass your father's company

and become number one in the industry!

Then you will bow down before me!

Jeez... And he's not going to help out, after all?

Hey, where's J-sama?

J-sama?

J-sama!

Here's the report for the event.

I've heard all about it. Seems you're quite popular with the students.

No, not at all...

I'm sure the event will be a success in your hands.

Have you made progress looking into things?

Like why you showed up here from a hundred years ago,

and who your relatives really are?

Not yet...

It appears you're gradually regaining your memories.

In that case, you should remember what actually happened.

Is there any trace at all of the very last memory in your past?

Trace...

There is something I'm looking for.

Oh?

I'm not sure what or where it is...

But I feel like I need it.

I see. So the reason you came to this world

might have been to find whatever that is.

It seems likely.

All right. Continue with your investigation.

I'll do whatever I can to help.

Thank you very much.

Shiratori-senpai!

Where did you go?

We must tell you more about our burning passion!

Scents that my nose and lungs have never smelled before...

Unknown substances are invading...

I need... I need to go someplace where the air is pure...

Fresh air is magnificent!

Yes! Flow into me, oxygen!

Flow into me, beautiful fragrances that emanate from these flowers!

More! More!

We apologize for interrupting your merriment.

We have a report on our investigation.

I don't remember requesting any information from you.

According to our information, it appears that Aoba Hotaru is the one

who's head over heels for the music teacher, Mikami Satsuki.

He has been spotted numerous times following her home.

Wha—

He's basically what you'd call a stalker.

He's more sinister than he looks.

No! Hotaru would never do something like that!

I refuse to believe it!

Then you'll just have to see the truth for yourself.

Huh?

Hizakura-kun.

What's up?
