Identity Acquisition | Oh, there's some dust left here. Remember. Our Master has respiratory issues, so... No, I'll do it myself. |
Morning Greeting | Good morning, Master. I hope you had a restful sleep. Remember, you have an appointment to attend to after breakfast. Make sure to partake in every meal to keep yourself energized. |
Afternoon Greeting | As per your orders, we focused on cleaning the front gate in anticipation of the guests arriving for the luncheon. Oh, that red stain on the gravel are just leftover marks from dealing with last night's uninvited gue— I'll take care of it right away. |
Evening Greeting | I'm on the night watch duty tonight. I can assure you that any issues that may arise will be quickly and silently taken care of. I will try my utmost so that you may have a restful night, Master. |
Chatter #1 | Perhaps you could indulge less... in drinking. Should Lady Ryōshū find out about this, she'll confiscate every bottle of liquor in the manor. If you're having trouble with going to sleep, I will give word to the kitchen staff to prepare a hearty late night snack. |
Chatter #2 | Lady Ryōshū's been on edge as of late... probably because the hunt is coming up so soon. I've polished my knives and forks so many times that I can practically use them like mirrors. |
Chatter #3 | I know it's pretty cold outside, but do keep your windows open when the winds aren't as wild. You need as much fresh air as you can get, Master. Your health won't ever improve otherwise. ... If it is all right with you, would you mind spending a short while in the reception room? I will warm the room in your absence. |
Post-Uptie Chat 1 | They won't even have the time to look away. Any interloper who dares to tread our Master's land... I'll slice & dice them to pieces like a nice plate of steak bites. |
Post-Uptie Chat 2 | We're gathering for the hunt, huh... Of course, I'll join. For our Master's safety, for the success of the hunt... I will see my mission to the end through the wuthering storm. |
Uptying | I am a Butler in the employment of your household. What else could I possibly provide other than the utmost competence? I will clean up every fool who seeks to take advantage of your sickness. |
Idle | ... Master? Would you please consider standing elsewhere? It's... difficult to clean the room with you standing in the middle. This way, please... |
Deployment | Housekeeping time. |
Stage Entry | Butler dimensional attache case at the ready. |
Viewed in Battle | Yes? Is there anything I can help you with? |
Commencing Attack | I'll dust them. |
Enemy Stagger | Even the old, crusty dirt... |
Staggered | Hah...! |
Enemy Killed | ... Gets dusted in the end. |
Death | Apolo...gies... Master. I failed... my mission... |
Check Passed | But of course. I am a competent Butler. |
Check Failed | T-this is... my apologies. |
Victory Cry | We made a bit of a ruckus, but we put them all in the bin. Though I'm not sure if this will be to Lady Ryōshū's satisfaction. |
Extra Conditions Fulfilled | Didn't even leave a speck of dust behind. I'm sure Master won't even notice what happened overnight. |
Defeat Wail | Guess I'm due for another scolding from Lady Ryōshū. Well, what can I do? |

The Edgar Manor, wreathed in the ambient sunlight, is full of sounds of brooms and Butler boots moving about its premises.
Butlers of the Edgar Family are busy with their last-minute deep cleaning of the manor before the wolven hunt.
Brooms brushing against the floor. Dishes clattering against one another. Loud, bustling footsteps.
The child is quietly and impassively dusting the window frames amidst that clamor.
Come on, let's try not to neglect these out-of-the-way corners.
The child would normally have quietly taken care of it herself without telling anyone, but...
... now that they're all busily preparing for the hunt, she decided to give them a warning to avoid drawing the ire of her Master or the Chief Butler.
It may have sounded a tad nosy, but... it was her own way of caring for the other Butlers.
Even a pinch of dust particles could be dangerous for our Master, you know.
S-sorry. I'll be more careful from now on.
C'mon. The hunt's coming up, so let's keep ourselves in tip-top shape, alright?
Of course, she wasn't just worried for her fellow Butlers.
It was clear from the way she spoke that she cared terribly for her Master.
Perhaps that was an obvious outcome.
The child used to be a Fixer drifting through the Backstreets. And she wandered for a long, long time, unable to find her purpose in life.
The Edgar Family took her in, gave her a roof over her head, and gave her a definite purpose to live for.
Perhaps that is why...
... the child does not tell the Chief Butler whenever the other child—her Master—indulges in alcoholic drinks.
That is why the child does not even dare open the window when her Master is home—for fear of letting chill winds into the manor.
Her devotion to her Master almost appears like a blind obsession.
Do you think Master would've been... less ill, had he not been hunting for the wolf?
I doubt it. Master had already lost his arm and Miss Isabella even before the hunt started.
Yeah, but...
Besides, it doesn't matter whether our Master gives up his hunt or not. Because that wolf won't.
... He won't stop until he's taken everything that our Master has.
... Oh, speaking of which, didn't that wolf love... uh, um...
Huh? Love? What are you talking about?
... Uh, what was it again...? Haah, it's nothing. Sorry, I have no idea where that came from.
There was a large hole where that child once stood. The child who was likely the cause of all this misery.
This child grew puzzled as she suddenly felt the fog of memory from this casual conversation.
But she ignored this odd sense of deja-vu.
It would be much more reasonable for her to focus on the hunt rather than to get hung up on such details.
Is it already time...?
The sun hangs over the horizon.
The terrible wailings of those pulled from the other side begin to echo from nearby.
The great rumbling begins to intensify within the halls of the manor.
Past the window were the forces of the dead, wreathed under the orange light of the eventide, swarming up toward the manor.
Even as I remain awake does that endless nightmare seek to claim me...
They're nothing but weaklings. An advance party... I see. The wolf caught wind of our hunt, I suppose.
The other child—her Master—draws his sabre and readies himself. But the child shakes her head.
Master. Lady Ryōshū. Leave them to me.
D.B.S. Me and this fool of a Master can take them out in the blink of an eye.
The child waits until the warm light of the eventide, the color of her hair, reflects off the floorboards of the manor's hallway. She looks into the eyes of the Chief Butler and her Master.
The two of you have a wolf to hunt.
Don't let the dead waste your energy.
…….
Perhaps the two believed that this child's words had merit.
Her Master lowers his sabre. The Chief Butler grumbles for a moment before sheathing her knives and crossing her arms.
Only then does the child pull an oddly engraved broom and a sharp knife from the dimensional attache case issued to Butlers.
... Hunting cutlery's at the ready.
... Tsk. Don't get yourself killed like an idiot.
The child lives up to her confidence.
The well-sharpened knife cuts through the army of the dead like butter...
... and the generations-old broom of the Edgar Family Butlers keeps her enemies at bay.
She routed the forces of the dead with every knife throw and broom swing, handily knocking them down like she was dusting a particularly stubborn corner.
The advance force that assailed the manor is already looking rather thin; the intense light of the sunset shines through the windows still.
Doesn't seem like housekeeping will cause them to run late to the hunt.
