Finnian, Mey-rin, and Baldroy were busy tidying up in the event hall for the foundation anniversary of Phantomhive clan in the business industry. Habang inaasikaso nila ang mga kailangan pagtuunan ng pansin ay bigla silang nabahala sa pagkawala ng kanilang head butler para tulungan sila.
"Guys, do you think that the young master Ciel feels that we are just a nuisance to him?" nag-aalala na sabi ni Mey-rin sa kanyang mga kasama na lubos nilang pinagtataka sa inaasal niya.
"Why did you ask me all of the sudden?" tanong naman ni Baldroy sa kanya.
"Well, we've been serving them forever but I think that my clumsiness almost ruins everything including the honor of his name whenever they throw parties like this." nahihiyang paliwanag ni Mey-rin sa kanila.
"Actually, I'm also thinking of running away from the young master's jurisdiction but I have nowhere else to call my home except with you guys. That's why please don't consider yourself as a nuisance, Mey-rin." Hindi nila inasahan ngunit pareho sila ng nararamdaman ni Finny tungkol sa kanilang sitwasyon.
"Finnian was right. If ever you failed your duties as his maid, it was also our fault if we don't consolidate your feelings with a helping hand. Your eye condition was not a problem to the young master as long as you remained loyal and protected him at all costs. That's all that matters to someone like him." paliwanag ni Baldroy kay Mey-rin.
"And speaking of which, where is the young master Sebastian-san?" tanong ni Finny nang makita niya ang kanilang head butler ng nagpakadalubhasa sa kanilang ihahahing pagkain para sa mismong araw ng event.
"One of the low-key residents here was kind enough to let the young master take care of him for a while." sagot naman ni Sebastian.
"But what if they'll be involved in trouble?" kinakabahang sabi ni Mey-rin sa kanila.
A confident smirk was witnessed by the three Phantomhive servants. "Trust me, they can handle everything for the young master. In fact, the young master Ciel himself insisted that I leave him alone for a while." paliwanag naman ni Sebastian sa kanila at napanatag sila sa kanilang narinig.
Samantala, inabutan na si Mitsui ng tanghaling tapat bago siya muling magpasya na magpahinga muna sa kanilang bahay. "Hay naku... Buti na lang at hindi kita kailangan na ipakumpuni sa ibang kamay." masayang pahayag ni Mitsui at tila hinihimas pa nito ang kanyang motorsiklo.
His odd behavior made Casper feel more hopeless kung paano siya makikitungo sa kanya. "I guess it's not a big deal if you will also grab some flavored chips that I found from your countertop." tawag sa kanya ni Casper at nagtaka naman si Mitsui sa sinabi niya.
"Pero wala naman akong inuwing junk foods kaninang pag-uwi ko." nagtatakang sabi naman ni Mitsui sa kanya at napagtanto nito na galing iyon kay Hillary.
"But this does not taste awful either. Just take a bite of these sunflower seeds. It won't hurt you anyways except your feelings towards her." birong sabi ni Casper kay Mitsui nang iabot niya rito ang pakete ng roasted sunflower seeds.
"Aber! Ang dali mo namang makiramdam sa ibang tao." namamanghang komento ni Mitsui at saka kinuha ang ilan sa mga sunflower seeds na nasa balot.
"If that's what you call talent, then I'll be glad to help you with your worries. Iyon ay kung sang-ayon kang makialam ako sa problema mo sa kanya." pangungumbinsing sabi ni Casper at nagsimula nang magkwento sa kanya si Mitsui.
"Alam mo ba na sobrang nagiguilty ako sa ginawa namin ni Hillary sa kwarto ko bago ka dumating sa buhay namin. Nalilito na rin ako kung sino ba sa kanila ang dapat kong mahalin ng lubos at pahalagahan."
Hindi man lubos nauunawaan ni Mitsui ang mapaglarong mundo ng pag-ibig ngunit kampante siyang kausap ang isang batang tulad ni Casper dahil sa kaya nitong sikmuraing pakinggan ang pagtataksil na nangyari noong panahong iyon.
"Of course not, but what was your premise about this matter? Bakit mo ba nasasabing nalilito ka sa nararamdaman mo?" tanong naman ni Casper sa kanya.
"Alam kong girlfriend ko pa rin si Claire hanggang ngayon pero sa mga nagdaang panahon na hindi na niya ako nakakausap ay parang wala na akong halaga sa buhay niya. Pinilit kong mag reach out sa kanya hanggang sa nawalan na ako ng pag-asa kung saan ko siya hahanapin." paglalahad ni Mitsui ng kanyang saloobin.
"May I see who is this Claire you were talking about." pakiusap ni Casper sabay tinuro ni Mitsui sa kanya ang pic- ture nila.
"Ayan ang larawan naming pareho na nakasabit pa ng pagkalaki sa sala kung tinanong mo man ako tungkol sa kanya." sabi ni Mitsui at napalunok na lamang si Casper sa sobrang balisa ng kanyang isip.
"So corny yet he chooses to be so much proud of her achieve- ments rather than himself." bulong ni Casper sa kanyang sarili.
"At ang masaklap pa niyan ay bigla nalang ginulo ni Hillary ang buhay ko kumpara sa kaibigan niya. Kahit nga magtabi man lang kami sa higaan ko ay inunahan niya pa akong gawin ang gusto ko kay Claire." nababanas na kwento ni Mitsui.
"Was there any chance of a first kiss that happened beforehand?" Casper wants to confirm his wild guess about the issue.
"Oo." tugon ni Mitsui at tumango siya. "Sa aming dalawa ni Hillary." nahihiyang sagot ni Mitsui sa bata ngunit imbes na matu- wa ito sa kanya ay mas lalo siyang inaasar ng bata.
The moment before another sunset came to their sight was also Casper's opportunity to immediately talk to his butler Sebastian even when he was not around with him. "Sebastian! Can you hear me?" bulong ni Casper sa kanyang sarili at tumugon naman si Sebastian sa tawag ng kanyang amo.
"Yes, my lord but it seems there might be some problem here." seryosong sabi ni Sebastian sa kanya.
"What was it?" tanong niya sabay napailing na lang si Casper mula sa narinig.
"A white casket was delivered to our address here in the event hall but it seems you would definitely identify who was the person inside the coffin. What should we do then, young master?" Sebastian asked habang naglilinis sa venue ng party nila soon.
"Keep it safe away from the guests. We will deal with that after our own party." utos ni Casper sa butler at pinilit na lamang niyang matulog ng payapa sa gabing iyon.
"I can't believe it myself but this Hisashi Mitsui was the guy we've been looking for." bulong ni Casper sa kanyang isip ng napagtanto ang nangyari sa kanila bago siya makarating sa Japan.
