After looking surprised, Mei bows and thanks him. Michael
happily smiles at embarrassed Damien who shouts that it is because he has been
taken cared of[/shown consideration] by that old geezer and that girl. Mei runs
to her grandfather’s room and calls out to him. From his sick bed, Kintarou
says that she is late by a day. Crying Mei hugs him and exclaims that it is
great, it’s really great. He comments that it has been a long time since he has
been sunbathe into black by the sun and it bear fruit a bit. Crying Mei smiles
radiantly and says, “Ah, listen to me. A lot of things had happened since then,
and I also met a lot of people..” By the patio, Rihito tells Kento that perhaps,
Kintarou-sama isn’t really thinking of giving Mei a husband. This surprises
Kento. Rihito says that Kintarou-sama wanted to take advantage of the time
while he still hasn’t passed away. “He wants to set up Mei-ojousama and her own
chosen important character [/person] of this era, and meet with them.” Kento
sweatdrops and says that he doesn’t quite feel that Kanata and Xiang-Fei are
that important. Rihito says that they are secondary[/byproduct] characters. “It
is also perhaps, he actually wants to help out his own friends. Resolving their
inner heart’s little concerns.” Rihito is referring to Claris’ parents,
Irrfan’s father, Hideto, who is looking at Kanata with Nana as Kanata prepares
to play baseball, a shrine of Kiba [<- probably related to Shinnosuke], and
a cowgirl doll with a Kurumi doll [<- so the cowgirl is Kintarou, the internet
friend of Miruku’s mother]. After thinking of things, Kento darkly mutters that
he is mistaken, THAT is indulging[/spoiling] Mei a bit too much. Rihito
comments that as the saying goes, ‘bloodline cannot be changed’. There is a
scene of Mei happily telling Kintarou about the things that has happened.
Thoughtful Rihito thinks out loud over what’s the motive for making Kento, as a
candidate for Mei’s husband, since he isn’t an important character at all.
Kento got furious about that comment. He smiles and asks what’s wrong with it,
when THEY were also CONVENIENTLY toughen up[/got exercise]. Rihito agrees that
they had been toughened up in all sorts of ways. They didn’t notice that their
parents are looking at them from the mansion’s window. Taizou sighs in relief
that the feeling between their children isn’t as bad as they had imagined.
Maria smiles and says, “But of course, because they are brothers.”
Then, Mei tells her grandfather that about her birthday
present. Kintarou says that is right, tell him what she wanted. To his
bewilderment, Mei exclaims that she already got it. Narration: “That happened
before they returned to Japan..” Carrying their suitcases, Xiang and Fei are
walking in the empty streets at night. Fei asks Xiang if this is okay, to
secretly slip away from behind Mei’s back. Xiang says that he cannot give
trouble to Mei-ojousama again. They were startled when someone shouts, “TOO-
NAÏVE!! The two of you are too naïve!! * a girl figure stands on top of the
roof* Don’t think that you can just easily escape from me..!!” They were
surprised for it is Mei. Then, the two sweatdrop as the brothers help Mei down
from the roof. She gives them new passports and special ID as Hongo family’s
workers. She got Rihito to make them. Holding their passport and IDs, the two
try to ask Mei what these are for. To their shock + sweatdrop, Mei says that
she had already TAKEN them FROM her grandfather. “But, our family already has
so many, so many butlers. So the two of you.. About-that.. Ah, in this era’s
drama, there is always some kind that always comes out.. Gardener? No, not
that.. *someone asks if she is saying..* YES-THAT’S RIGHT!! *points at the two*
From today on, you two will be my EXCLUSIVE SECRET AGENTS. *the two are shock
that they drop their luggages* Let me explain!! A secret agent is also called
THE•SPY!! According to the master’s orders, as a shadow team [ala ninja], you
will go to all sorts of cities and countries to investigate[/scout] out the
situation. Then, you will quickly come back upon receiving just one order from
me!! On my behalf, you’ll travel all over the world and then, make many
friends. Also, from time to time, observe us from the outside. If we ever slack
off, you can come and knock [/beat] us up.” Xiang is surprised by this. He
tells her that he felt her good intention but they are murderers and they don’t
have the right.. After a pause, Mei asks what Rihito thinks. Rihito says yes,
lately, there is a rumor going on the world that seems to say, ‘some mafia knew
that there are two young killers’, but unluckily, they didn’t leave any
evidence and those who witnessed everything are all dead. “There is already no
way of confirming if the rumor is true nor not.” The two are surprised. Mei
says, “..it’s like that.” Xiang protests that if she covers them up, she’ll
also.. Mei bluntly says, “..about that..Xiang..I’M ALREADY TIRED OF HEARING
those words.” Xiang is shock speechless. Kento lets out a laugh and asks his
brother if he has seen that expression. Rihito smiles and says, yes. Mei tells
them she doesn’t know[/understand] their past because she didn’t met them in
the past. “But, the two people in front of me, I feel that I can trust [them]
so, that is already enough. *smiles* So, what do you have to say.”
After a pause, Xiang asks Mei if she knows what is the ‘everyday’
of their village’s goddess? “Everyday, she will have a beautiful dream and
afterwards, she will tell the villagers the contents of her dream. Then,
gradually, everyone would have the same dream which instructs us towards the
direction that we would live..” Mei exclaims that is quite tiring and annoying.
Kento sweatdrops and mutters that Mei really doesn’t understand local customs.
Mei says that it is because she basically has no way of dreaming a beautiful
dream everyday~~ “Ah, but.. Yes, that’s right, if everyone can see that beautiful
dream..!! The goddess is the more the better. *looks at Xiang and Fei* The
goddess definitely exist within the heart of you two.” Xiang mutters that the
goddess exist within his heart. Mei innocently says that it is because when he
dresses up as a girl, he is very beautiful that she felt frustrated. Kento
tells her that is not the problem there. Mei bids them goodbye and to take
care.. “Ah, but if I call you guys, you must immediately come back. No matter
what is said, the two of you are my secret agents!!” The two put a hand on
their chest and bow to her. “In order to serve you, as you wish, Mei-ojousama.”
Glancing at the brothers, Xiang adds, “WE DON’T PLAN ON ADMITTING DEFEAT TOWARDS
THE BUTLERS.” Both brothers smile and say, “Hmph.” Fei calls out Mei. While blushing,
he tells her, “Tell Fujiko-ojousama to also take care.. And also.. Also..
That.. *exhale* I FEEL THAT COMPARED TO THAT GUY NEZU, I’M STILL VERY VERY MUCH
SUITABLE GUY TO FUJIKO-OJOUSAMA!!!” Everyone is speechless. Blushing Fei slightly
bows and tells Mei to please help him pass that message... Mei sweatdrops and
wonders what she ought to do. As Mei and the others watch the two leave, it
seems that Rishu’s spirit is also waving goodbye. After they left, Mei says, “..I’m
really sorry.. This is the path that I have chosen.. And this definitely runs
counter the path of an ojousama.. So,..at any time, you guys, can resign as my
butlers..” Putting his hand on his chest, Rihito says that it is within his
expectation. Kento winks and says that he’s used to it. Mei blushes a bit and
is teary-eyed. She thinks, “Thank you very much, Rihito-san.. Shibata..” While
walking, Xiang calls out to Fei and tells him that there is a favor that he
wants to ask of him. Fei says, “Sure, what is it..” Xiang tells him, “If, from
today on, I did something to betray Mei-ojousama, please kill me with your own
hands.” After looking surprised, Fei slightly bows and replies, “Yes, if that
is what you wish.” As the wind blows Xiang’s hair, both of his eyes are shown.
He smiles and recalls Mei’s words that the goddess definitely exists within
their hearts.. Looking up the sky, his glass eye reflects on some buildings.
Xiang says, “Hey, Fei, what kind of future will this planet’s goddess prepare to
show to us..” Someplace else, what Xiang’s ‘sees’ with his glass eye is shown
on someone’s iPhone. A gloved hand closes the iPhone and says, “..what, I
expecting to see a more bloody tragicomedy from your eye..” A wheel[chair]
moves, and a woman calls out, “Rihito-san.. Where are you..?” Opening an
intricate-designed door, the White Butler says, “Yes, I’m coming,
Shiori-ojousama..”
Comment: That was really amazingly cool. I don’t know if Rihito knew
but it turns out that there is a purpose for Shinobu to give a glass eye to
Xiang. So, could it be that he also deliberately injured Xiang’s eye? Utterly
clever. Aside from keeping tabs with whatever Mei and the others are doing,
Shinobu would also have the same information that Xiang and Fei would gather
from all over the world. He would still know what’s going on in the world even
if he is in somewhere secluded with Shiori. So, the favor that Xiang told Fei
can be ominous since his eye is in a way ‘betraying’ Mei. In the end, Shinobu
is still the final and ultimate ‘enemy boss’ who can rival Rihito. Making the
former murderers into ‘secret agents’ is pretty a very clever idea. Given their
skills for it, they really suit the job. Mei is really thinking BIG for their
task has a ‘world-scale’ scope to it. She is amusing when she ‘shut up’ Xiang’s
protests, by saying that she is tired of hearing the same thing. =P She might
be lacking in some things but nevertheless, she is unique in her own way.
Hm..more like, softening up ‘bad guys who used to be good’ and giving them a
future. I think her grandfather knows this so, he used the ‘choose a groom’
scheme for it. It was really nice of Kintarou to help out his friends this way
so that the next generation will be on their right and proper path. I don’t
know if it is deliberate though or just a consequence that, thanks to Damien,
he also ended up extending his own life. For the brothers, it seems that they
only think that this whole thing is just a way for them to ‘toughen up’ but
apparently, it is also Kintarou’s way of reassuring his faithful couple butlers
that their children are getting along. It was really nice to see the brothers
happily chatting like that. ^^ Scans by 深雪汉化组
