Looking at a map, Kento exclaims in frustration since they can’t find
Xiang’s whereabouts at airports or harbors. There is no clue at all on
where he could have hidden. Nezu asks about the possibility that they
are traveling by land. Kanzaki says that they’ve already searched
through roads and they got nothing. While Tami is sleeping, Fujiko and
Fei are quiet. Looking at her cellphone, Fujiko says that with the other
housewives, she wants to help everyone. Fei timidly offers if there is
anything he can do to help. Hugging and kissing him, Fujiko thanks him.
Fei suggests that she tries to search using a key word, something
important that is related to this. Fujiko decides to check out,
‘handsome butler’. Fujiko reads that someone posted that ‘there is
actually a so-called butler’. Showing her phone to Fei, Fujiko asks if
this is.. Fei exclaims, “Xiang!?” The brothers look at the phone to see a
picture of Xiang being surrounded by women [most likely housewives =P].
Kento exclaims in disbelief over the comment that ‘a butler
unexpectedly appeared in school and he is quite handsome’. Someone
praises Fujiko for her good work. Fujiko wants to share with Fei the
credit because he helped her. Fei says that he didn’t do much. Fujiko
wants to reward him. Rihito looks serious as he enlarges the picture to
some figures at the side. It is Mei happily talking with Kanata and
Nana. Kento is surprise that Mei is with those two so he decides to call
Kanata. Rihito decides to call their grandfather who is living nearby.
The calls of the brothers can’t get through. They look at each other and
wonder what’s going on. Meanwhile, Mei wakes up from someone calling
out to her about it being a good day. Opening her eyes, she wonders if
it is Rihito but it turns out to be Xiang whose face is right in front
of hers. After screaming loudly and moving away from Xiang, Xiang
slightly smiles and apologizes because he tried calling her so many
times but she won’t wake up. Mei notices that Xiang looks better now.
Xiang tells her that he has already prepared her clothes. Mei remembers
that Xiang is also a butler. Hideto arrives and tells them to come and
eat breakfast. At the table, Mei is surprised to see a full Japanese
breakfast meal. Preparing to eat, Mei happily says that it has been a
long time since she eaten udon noodes. She praises it being delicious
and no wonder it is made by Hideto.
To her surprise, Hideto tells her that it is all made by Xiang.
Grabbing his shoulders, Mei exclaims to Xiang that the taste of his udon
is praise-worthy and she’ll leave it up to him again tomorrow. Seeing
her smile, Xiang says okay, he’ll make it again tomorrow. While Xiang is
carrying the empty dishes, Kanata is holding the store’s sign and
comments over his surprise that Xiang actually likes Mei. Since Xiang is
surprised, Kanata asks if he was wrong about it. Xiang is puzzled over
this. He thinks that this is foolishness for he isn’t like the Shibata
brothers, he doesn’t like her, he and Fei have their own mission. Their
village has already changed from the continuous mining and no one can
live in that place that has been recklessly filled with holes. [<-
probably open pit mining] “But, I will bring back the new goddess and
we’ll be able to once again return to the happiness of the
star[/planet], those days surrounded with flowers.” Flashback: Xiang
asked Fei what he thinks of it. Fei looked sad and didn’t reply so Xiang
called his name again. Fei sadly smiled and said yes, if that is what
Xiang says. End flashback. Then, Xiang snaps out of it when he overhears
Mei talking with Nana. Nana asks her if she is serious about getting
married to Xiang. Mei says that is the only option after he declared
that he’ll kill himself. Nana sweatdrops and says that Mei is just
speaking thoughtlessly. Mei looks serious and says that it is because
Xiang is quite simple for whether it is about him or others, killing or
be killed, for him it is very simple. Nana asks if that is a figure of
speech. Mei says that it would be good if it is a figure of speech. Mei
tells Nana that after falling into the sea, the first thing in mind is
to do her best to swim as if her life depended on it, and finally, she
manages to swim to the closest isle. At the time, after confirming that
she and Xiang are safe and they are living, she felt from her heart
that, only that is enough. Nana comments that Mei has experienced a lot
and she cannot quite imagine what it is like. Nana says that Mei must be
tired and no matter when, she is welcome here for at least, she’ll
listen to everything Mei would say that’s on her mind. Mei thanks her.
Then, Mei says that she wants to tell her about her great plan. She
thinks that Xiang likes a certain girl and they might encounter her
during this routine. Nana exclaims in disbelief. Mei tells her that the
girl’s name seems to be Rishu so she thinks that if she can find this
Rishu and get her together with Xiang, then, all of this will come to a
satisfactory end. Nana asks where that girl is. Just when Mei is saying
that she is going to look from now on, Xiang interrupts them by saying
that Rishu is already dead, ever since before. Mei looks at him in
surprise as Xiang has a sad expression with somewhat cold-looking eyes.
They were all interrupted when Hideto calls out to her and says that it
is good that Xiang is also there. He tells them to quickly run away to
the mountains. Mei asks what happened. Hideto tells them that his
grandsons will soon be arriving there. Mei couldn’t believe that this
place has already been found out. Hideto comments that it is earlier
than expected so temporarily take this pouch bag and hide. After a
pause, Mei grabs Xiang’s hand and exclaims that they are going. Hideto
pats Xiang’s back and says that he’ll leave Mei up to him. Nana calls
out to Mei. Mei thanks her and says that she’ll see her again. She
passes by Kanata who says that just now, Kento called. While running
with Xiang, Mei shouts to Kanata that she’ll leave Nana under his care.
This made puzzled Kanata blush. Xiang tells Mei that Rishu is already
dead and his hometown is also..so her ‘grand plan’ cannot be carried out
so why is she.. She looks at him and says that it is because even if it
is like that, she is only being responsible for him. Xiang looks
surprised by that. Mei exclaims that if he still has time to think about
that, he should first think of a way to run away because one shouldn’t
underestimate Rihito. Xiang exclaims yes. Meanwhile, some security men
inform Rihito that all of the roads, airports and harbors are all
secured. Rihito tells them to continue on being alert status. He, along
with Kento who is now in butler uniform, has arrived in Shikoku by
helicopter. Nana and Kanata sweatdrop over Hideto who is giggling that
they [brothers] have arrived.
The brothers go around the town and yet, not a single person is
around. Kento assumes that Xiang has taken hold of the town. Rihito says
that Xiang must have taken the people as hostage and maybe their
grandfather, Kanata and the others.. Kento curses for it is such a
despicable method. While Rihito[?] seems to be saying that their
grandfather must have been tricked since he is at that age, some of the
security men shouts to Rihito that they have finished their search and
in the end, there isn’t a single.. Then, someone seems to have thrown a
smoke bomb/spring a trap on them that the security men disappeared.
Kento tries to go to them but Rihito stops him by saying that it could
be the ‘shinigami/death god’s association so they cannot act blindly
without thinking. Rihito’s phone starts ringing. He answers it. The
third squad is reporting that everything is normal and suddenly they
were attacked. The second squad says that there are some unknown
enemies. The fourth squad is asking for help. Kento expresses his
disbelief that Kintaro’s elite team is being wiped out. Then, Kento
notices something. The brothers quickly jump away from an explosion.
Kento sees someone running away. Rihito tells him that they are going to
split up so he better not lose. Kento retorts back that Rihito
shouldn’t lose. But, the place is filled with ingenious traps. And, just
like the speed of the brothers’ breathing and knowing them like the
back of one’s hand, the advantage of every traps set had been configured
to fit exactly for them. Moving without sound, the culprit has been
consuming the brother’s strength and energy. Afterwards, Rihito is
already breathing hard. Rihito says that how these traps are laid out,
could it be..
He is surprised when someone congratulates him for still being alive.
In his butler suit, Hideto greets Rihito that it has been a long time
since they’ve seen each other. Rihito says that it turns out to be him
but why.. To Rihito’s surprise, Hideto jumps up and exclaims that he is
going to test Rihito if that gold badge on his chest suits him.
Meanwhile, breathing hard Kento thinks that rumor about being a
‘shinigami’ is true for if he belittles Xiang, he’ll be dead.. Then, a
baseball bat is rolled down to his feet. In a baseball uniform, Kanata
tells Kento to pick it up. He says that he didn’t expect that he can
duel again with Kento in this way. Kento is puzzled then notices that
there are lot of people around him shouting cheers for Kanata and some
people for Kento. Preparing to throw the ball, Kanata shouts that he
won’t let him pass through, eat this ball! Surprised Kento wonders
what’s up with this situation. At the mountains, Mei seems tired from
walking. Xiang suggests that she rest a bit for it will be dark soon. If
they keep on going, they might not be able to go back. To his surprise,
Mei says that they already can’t go back to where Hideto is. She tells
him that there is a national highway at this mountain and from there,
they will ride on a car and leave. Xiang tries to protest but Mei says
that even if she doesn’t know how they were found out, but even if they
hide there again, Rihito will still drop by again next time for he has a
persistent nature. She cannot bother everyone again and from now on,
Xiang is the only one whom she can depend on. Xiang smiles and says,
yes. Then, Mei sheepishly asks where the national highway is. Xiang
sweatdrops for she kept on going that direction and yet, she doesn’t
know where it is. While Mei is saying that before she always get lost
there, Xiang notices something that he quickly goes in front of Mei to
protect her. Mei asks what it is. Xiang says that a while ago, he felt
two human presences. Mei wonders if it is the brothers. Someone laughs
and comments that for Xiang to notice his presence, Xiang is really
someone, whom one cannot be careless with. Recognizing the voice, Mei
calls out for Kanzaki but she is quickly snatched away by Tami from
above the tree. When Xiang is calling out to her, Kanzaki puts a knife
in front of Xiang and says that his joke has gone overboard. Mei quickly
shouts for Kanzaki to wait, Xiang saved her.
After a lengthy explanation, Kanzaki says that since it is Mei’s
decision then he won’t hinder her. He asks Tami if it is okay for Mei to
choose that guy as her husband. Tami looks serious at Xiang. Mei
resolves this by saying that Xiang is her husband and Tami can be her
wife. ^^; After a pause, Xiang sweatdrops for Tami agrees on it. Tami
tells them to leave the brothers to them and the national highway is
just in front. As they leave, Mei thanks the two. Kanzaki asks if this
is okay, to give Mei to that guy for that guy is called ‘shinigami’. A
bit excited, Tami says that guy’s eyes are no longer gloomy like before.
Kanzaki laughs and says that maybe Xiang lost that gloominess
somewhere. Soon, at Route 193, Mei and Xiang are sitting beside the
highway. Mei says that not a single car had passed by. Xiang agrees.
There is a loud stomach growling sound. Mei starts screaming loud over
how she can’t bear it because she is hungry and they should go some
place to eat. And, luckily, a van passes by. Planning to hitch a ride,
Mei calls out to it. The van stops. The man starts to call out if it
isn’t Mei..but Mei passes by him and calls out to Shinnosuke. She didn’t
seem to recognize Kei, the actor. At some field, Kento falls down on
the ground to rest. Rihito passes by and says that Kento is still alive.
Sitting up, Kento asks him what’s going on for in the last part, he was
suddenly started to attack by Tami and thankfully, he survived. Rihito
tells him that on his side, it was Kanzaki. They wonder what had
happened in this town. Kento asks where Mei could be. After a pause,
Rihito suggests that they get a ride at the highway in front. Upon
arriving at the highway, they see a girl tossing someone inside the car
and saying for him to get in. Their eyes widen for it is Mei, who is
equally surprised to see them. To their shock, Mei quickly runs away by
quickly getting in the van. The van quickly speeds away. After a pause,
Kento asks if she ran away. Rihito says that she ran away.
At an apartment, Fei decides to save Xiang right now. He removes the
heel of his shoe which has a razor blade inside. He opens the door and
no one is at the corridor. He is surprised when a picture of Fujiko
taking a bath flies in front of him. Someone suddenly hits his back and
foot that he lost his balance. Nezu immediately pins him to the floor.
Nezu apologizes because if he were to sincerely confront a ‘shinigami’,
he generally has no way of winning even if it is a bit of a waste, but
letting him go out by himself would have a lot of advantages for there
ought to be a lot of people out there who wants to exterminate the two
of them [Xiang and Fei]. Fujiko comes in and exclaims for Nezu not to do
that. Fujiko quickly grabs Fei and hugs him into her bosom. =P Fujiko
tells Nezu that it isn’t easy for Fei to depart from that dangerous life
and she absolutely won’t let him go back to that. Scratching his head,
Nezu tells her that it is good if she wants to nurture and dote on Fei
but he is only a wild dog because their world isn’t the same as theirs
so she can’t tame him. Fujiko shouts that Nezu is an idiot and she
doesn’t care. With that, she brings Fei inside the room and slams the
door. Nezu chuckles and says that no wonder an ojousama is an ojousama.
While pouring some tea for Fei, Fujiko apologizes to him and says that
Nezu is actually a very nice person but when he was younger, his
circumstance is quite similar to Fei’s and because it is quite the same,
Nezu is bullying him a bit. Fujiko is surprised when Fei points the
razor blade on her neck and says that Nezu is right, they are wild dogs.
While Nezu gets ready to charge in the room, Fei apologizes for no
matter what, there is a place that he has to go to even if he has to
hurt her right now. Fujiko smiles and says that for him, Xiang is really
a very important friend. She corrects herself that no, he is more
important than a friend. A bit flustered, Fei admits that other than
Xiang, he has nothing else. Whether it is family or friends, those
bygone peaceful days, that bygone familiar scene, everything has been
taken away. And only Xiang is left and he is the equivalent of his
homeland. For Xiang, Mei is the reincarnation of the planet’s goddess
and that is his hope for living so if they take Mei away, Xiang will
definitely..
Fujiko asks hope.. just to console oneself, and one-sidedly treating
Mei as a goddess, that is still acting on one’s own initiative. She asks
if using this way to get that hope, will it sparkle. Trembling in
anger, Fei shouts that she obviously didn’t know anything as to what
they have encountered and what kind of feelings they had, to be able to
live on. Fujiko calmly looks at Fei and tells him that Mei is ‘Xiang’s
hope’, Xiang is ‘Fei’s homeland’ then what about him, he is what to
whom. Looking away, Fei says that he’s only.. Fujiko grabs his chin and
made him face her. Fujiko tells him that actually, in his heart, he
knows that what Xiang is doing is all just a waste of energy for Rishu,
their goddess, no longer exists. Trembling, Fei says that if he were to
acknowledge that fact, Xiang will go crazy. Fujiko exclaims for him to
be strong for he is the only one who can support Xiang. She tells him
that he is ‘Xiang’s reality’ who will always keep Xiang realistic
[without flights of fancy]. Waiting until the time when Xiang wakes up
from the nightmare, he’ll come back filled with scars. Only then, Fei
can properly give him a tight hug. Fujiko tells Fei that is what only he
can do since he who is the only one who had the same recollections as
Xiang. This made Fei cry. Hugging him tight, Fujiko tells him not to
worry for Xiang is with Mei at his side. Don’t look at her as he
normally does because Mei’s heart is quite wide[/open] and she can make
people smile. This will definitely make Xiang’s wounds lighter. Outside,
Nezu smiles and comments that an ojousama is an ojousama, very strong..
Meanwhile, at Shikoku, Mei is totally stunned by what she did because
the brothers had seen her and yet, she had quickly run away. A note says
that she is the number 2 strong ojousama. Xiang looks at stunned Mei
and looks at the rearview mirror. He thinks that he has indeed seen the
brothers behind them and Mei should have seen them. Yet for her to shake
them off, Mei is really.. Xiang felt a stabbing pain upon seeing Mei
sighing in relief. Shinnosuke coughs and asks if she is listening to
him. Mei asks if he was saying something. Shinnosuke asks why she is
here and he remembers that guy is Yang family’s butler. Mei just says
that a lot of things had happened and she has already decided to marry
Xiang, who is sitting beside her, so before her birthday.. The two
exclaim in shock. Kei says that she should be marrying a super rich guy
like that Irrfan guy. Mei comments that she is reminiscing about that
guy.
Shinnosuke says that he didn’t expect that Xiang would voluntarily
agree to change his surname to ‘Hongo’. [<- marrying into Mei’s
family] Mei tells Xiang that if he hates it then, they won’t change it.
Xiang says that it doesn’t mean that way. Mei asks Shinnosuke how come
he is with Kei and could it be that he became his manager again. After
Kei and Shinnosuke look at each other, Shinnosuke tells her that this is
his last work. Kei explains that after she made him help her in passing
a message to Shinnosuke, he asked ‘isn’t it lonely to end this in such a
baffling way?’. Kei sweatdrops when Shinnosuke says that honestly, he
is just end it now. Kei protests what is the meaning of cutting the next
outdoor shooting of ‘Dining with the stars’. Mei empathizes with
Shinnosuke. Note says that ‘Dining with the stars’ is a popular show
wherein a celebrity would suddenly drop by to eat dinner at an ordinary
person’s house. Shinnosuke asks Mei where she is going so that they can
bring her there. Mei asks back where he is going. Shinnouske says that
he is going directly to the airport. Kei will be going to Tokyo and
he’ll be going to the United States. Mei exclaims in surprise and asks
why. Shinnosuke says that he wants to go and study again in college. Mei
says that is nice. She starts to look for food in the pouch that Hideto
gave her since she is hungry. She happily laughs and shows off two
passports. Mei exclaims that no wonder Hideto is a S-ranked butler.
Xiang sweatdrops for he couldn’t believe it. Kei mutters to Shinnosuke
if it is fake. Shinnosuke thinks so. Mei opens the passport and is
puzzled for Xiang looks like a girl. Looking at the passport, Shinnosuke
says that the gender has been changed. Happily eating some chips, Mei
says that Xiang looks cute and it suits him. He won’t be easily exposed
if they changed his gender and no wonder it is Hideto. Xiang just keeps
quiet. Mei freezes when Shinnosuke says that Mei has been turned into a
13 year old boy in the passport. She looks at the passport and starts
cursing Hideto. Mei drops that topic and wonders what to do for they can
now escape out of Japan. Xiang reminds her that they don’t have money
to buy plane tickets. “No money..” After that reality sinks in, Mei
quickly flirts with Shinnosuke and asks him to lend her some money.
Shinnosuke grudgingly agrees. He asks where she plans to go so that
he’ll know how much money he’ll lend her. Mei realizes something and
says, it is that place.. but she forgot what it is called. ^^;
Back to the brothers after they were snubbed by Mei, surprised Kento
mutters that Mei ran away, she obviously has seen them and yet, she
unexpectedly ran away.. Rihito feels weak-dizzy. A note says that Rihito
has no resistance against being snubbed. Kento exclaims if he is
alright. While Rihito hasn’t recovered yet, Kento is wondering out loud
that something fishy is going on for there must be some sort of mistake
since Mei definitely pushed Xiang into the van. Kento says that he
remembers the plate number of the van so if they first seal off the
airports and bridges.. Rihito darkly says that he thinks that generally,
it is useless. Kento is puzzled as he calls their security men about
the van that Mei is riding. Then, he exclaims in shock. One of the
security men tells Kento that they were told by Kintaro to withdraw
after learning that Mei is safe and sound. Kento exclaims that old
geezer [their grandfather] is deceiving them but the men won’t budge.
Kento wonders what’s going on. Rihito tells him that their grandfather
is honored as the best among the Hongo family’s butlers and both of them
are totally not at the same level where he stands. Their grandfather
has definitely thought of this earlier on. The two are speechless as the
wind blows. They are surprised when Kanata, together with Nana, arrives
and asks why they are still there. Kento grabs Kanata and exclaims why
he, his grandfather and everyone else, would suddenly hinder them. Nana
tells them that it is because Mei has already decided that to make Xiang
as her husband and the two of them kept on bothering them. The brothers
are surprised. Hideto arrives and tells them that it is Mei’s own
choice to choose Xiang as her husband so the two of them should
immediately give up. The brothers are in shock. Kento mutters that there
is definitely some sort of mistake for how can Mei.. Nana says that it
is true for she also asked Mei many times and Mei always insist on
getting married to Xiang.
Clenching his fist, Kento exclaims that Mei is definitely threatened
by that guy so she is saying that. He says that they can still catch up
if they go. He calls out to Rihito but Rihito isn’t moving. Rihito
remembers Mei asking him that no matter what happens, even if sky and
earth reversed, is he willing to believe in her and stay at her side.
Kento asks what’s up with Rihito, why isn’t he in a hurry. Rihito tells
him that the search for Mei has ended. Surprised Kento asks what
foolishness he is talking about. Rihito says that since Mei has decided
on this, they shouldn’t chase after Mei anymore. Kento asks if he is
serious. Rihito answers yes. Kento exclaims if he isn’t a bit worried
about Mei and she is with THAT Xiang, the shinigami, who doesn’t even
had the least care when he tried to massacre them. He asks that isn’t
their mission, as butlers, is to protect Mei from that guy at all costs.
Rihito just mutters Kento’s name. Kento exclaims that unless he has
seen it with his own eyes, and heard it with his own ears, he absolutely
won’t acknowledge it. While walking way, Kento thinks that until he
confirms it as Mei’s true feelings, he’ll.. Rihito just watches Kento
walk away. Hideto comments that Kento is still quite pure[/simple].
Rihito says, no, even if THE METHOD isn’t the same, but he believes that
their end goal is the same and that is, ‘wanting Mei-ojousama to attain
happiness’. Rihito smiles and takes his leave. While Rihito walks away,
Hideto comments that Rihito is finally becoming suited to that gold
badge on his chest. Rihito thinks that he’ll use his own way to protect
Mei. Nana is worried if Mei will be okay. Kanata says that she is
definitely alright. Nana says that it is quite baffling because upon
hearing him say that, she felt that Mei is really alright. Kanata asks
is that so. Hideto laughs. Nana[?] says that she heard that B•M•W’s
Kashiwagi Kei is having an outdoor shooting nearby. Kanata[?] sweatdrops
and says that it seems that there was a notification about that.
The people at the airport are gossiping about how handsome Shinnosuke
is but too bad, he has a girlfriend and it’s a very beautiful woman.
The woman is Xiang who has been made up by a professional make-up
artist. The people wonder if Xiang is a model since he’s tall. They say
that it turns out that there is really such a handsome guy-beautiful
woman couple. Male Mei pouts that the two are quite natural in
pretending to be lovers but on contrary, they are attracting way too
much attention. Looking at Kei who is wearing sunglasses and a mask, Mei
comments that his presence is quite weak even if one is to say that the
disguise is the reason. Kei decides to throw away his disguise and the
people go crazy over him. Mei tells Xiang and Shinnosuke that they
should hurry, go that way now. Shinnosuke comments that Mei unexpectedly
has the skills of a military adviser. Xiang agrees with him. At the
boarding area, Shinnosuke says that they are now separating here. Mei
thanks him for the help. Shinnosuke asks if it is really okay. Puzzled
Mei asks what he is referring to. Shinnosuke asks if she is really
[going to marry] Xiang. Mei tells him to listen to what she’ll say.
“I’ll put in a good word on your behalf when I’m in front of Izumi.”
Blushing Shinnosuke turns away and exclaims that he didn’t help her for
that reason. Mei thanks him again and wishes him good luck [/gambatte].
Shinnosuke sighs and says that he really doesn’t understand that person.
At the plane, Mei is happily eating. Xiang sweatdrops and thinks that
Mei can really eat. And, the next one to suffer is-> Irrfan who
sneezed for no reason. [It is a Japanese belief that if you sneezed for
no reason, someone is talking about you.] Scans by 深雪汉化.
