HEATHCLIFF |
……. |
|
Linton |
As you said earlier… none of us are here to see each other's 'ugly mugs'. What other reason could we possibly have to reconvene like this? |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
……. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
That… can't be real. What kind of insane— |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Now. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
The promised hour is come. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Mister Hindley Earnshaw, a blood-relative of the deceased. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Mister Linton Edgar, the spouse of the deceased. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
And Mister Heathcliff, an individual mentioned by name in the will. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Now that the three relevant parties are all present, we, as the executors of the deceased's will, may begin the ceremony. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
The first order of business will be the execution of Miss Catherine's will. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Thus commences this solemn occasion of Miss Catherine's funeral rites. As per the deceased's wishes, the will shall be read out aloud here, at Miss Catherine's manor, in attendance of all those present. Then— |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
No. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
You… stop. Shut up for a second. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Whose funeral rites? |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
And… |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
What… what was that about her 'spouse'? |
|
Linton |
After you abandoned this place with nary a word to her… |
|
Linton |
… Catherine immediately turned to me. |
|
Linton |
Then we married. Every waking hour we spent together were filled with happiness and joy. We were happy to the very last day, to her very last breath… |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Shut your stupid gob. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
The moment I set my foot in this manor… |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
… I heard her voice. I *felt* her presence. So what the bloody hell are you even talking about?! |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
This has to be some ploy. These fucking bastards, they must've… This… This can't… |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
… This can't be how it ends. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
I won't believe a single shite coming out of your mouths until I see her body with my own eyes! Where is she?! Bring her here, now! |
|
Linton |
What a repulsive sight. The least you could have done was to show some proper respect for the dead, but I suppose even the bare minimum was too much to expect from someone like— cough. |
|
Nelly |
I understand how you feel, Heathcliff. So please, calm yourself and take a seat— |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Get your hands off me! You can't just decide for me that she's dead! I won't accept any of this, not until I see Cathy with my own— |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Warning. Should this interruption to the will-reading continue, we may have to resort to use of force to ensure the full execution of this will. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Shut up! You don't know shite, so shut your fucking mouth! |
|
Hindley |
Ha! Ha! Heathcliff, why don't you go have a look in the mirror yourself? What a pathetic mess you've become. |
|
Hindley |
It doesn't matter what posh garb plebs like you wrap yourselves in; that filth from your low birth seeps right through the fabric at the slightest provocation! |
|
Hindley |
You'll eventually see Catherine's corpse all right. It's all part of the funeral process, so don't be in such a hurry to get there. I can't wait to see how well she's resting after what she's done to me. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Mister Hindley Earnshaw. Mister Heathcliff. We order that both of you immediately return to your seats. This is your final warning. |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Manager Esquire…! We must do aught anon…! Fixers of the Öufi Association may even execute those involved should there be a breach of contract! |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
I ill wish to see Sir Heathcliff be executed, nor do I wish to have to battle the honorable Fixers of the Öufi Association… |
|
DANTE |
<I don't think Heathcliff's going to listen to us…> |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
You have refused to comply. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Kah, gahh… |
|
RYŌSHŪ |
… Y.S. |
|
YI SANG |
Do speak. |
|
RYŌSHŪ |
Not you. |
|
YI SANG |
… Speak still, your intentions notwithstanding. |
|
RYŌSHŪ |
You, Stop. All of you. Something's off about this whole thing. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Would you like to speak for this individual? |
|
GREGOR |
… Was what she was going to say, but she decided to remain silent in favor of not getting in trouble, ha ha ha ha ha… … Right? |
|
RYŌSHŪ |
Haah? What are you doing, B.G.[1]? |
|
GREGOR |
Ryōshū, I understand that seeing our fellow Sinner get smacked around like that can be pretty aggravating, but… |
|
GREGOR |
… once you get involved, peace will simply no longer be an option… |
|
DANTE |
<…….> |
|
DANTE |
<… Didn't know you cared so much about Heathcliff, Ryōshū…> |
|
RYŌSHŪ |
… N.C.[2] |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
You… you bastards… |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Fine. Let's crack some skulls then, shall we? |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
I see that you are still refusing to comply, despite our initial attempt. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Should you refuse to let go of your weapon within the next minute, we will have no choice but to escalate to our next steps. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
I couldn't care less about your 'steps'. Give me Catherine, or… |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
… none of us are leaving this manor alive. You lot, me… we're all goin' six feet under. |
|
DANTE |
<Heathcliff!> |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
SHUT IT, CLOCKHEAD! This ain't the time to bring up shite like the company rules. Stay out of my way. |
|
DANTE |
<Ah…> |
|
SINCLAIR |
I… I don't have anything to say. If someone that important to me died… I'd be blinded and deafened to all reason, too… |
|
RODION |
Hey, Heath… I understand how angry and frustrated you must be. But you can't— |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Shut your trap! All of you, don't you dare touch me unless you want your faces caved in too… |
|
Nelly |
… It's nap time, Heathcliff. |
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Gah! |
|
ISHMAEL |
Woah… |
|
RODION |
D-did she just knock him out cold with her bare hands? |
|
RODION |
And it wasn't even a punch! It was just a light tap…! |
|
MEURSAULT |
His breathing is stable. It appears that she gave the nerve on the back of his head a precise, focused strike, which led to his loss of consciousness. |
|
HONG LU |
What a flawless execution of that move… I can certainly say that I've seen something like that before. Reminds me of my family's— |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
S-Sir Heathcliff hath been defeated with a single fell strike… |
|
Nelly |
Every self-respecting Butler has to be equipped with one such move. What other choice have we got when the child fusses and fusses for twenty hours instead of going to sleep? |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
F-forsooth, I can say with quite the confidence that I can immediately slumber to the dreamlands upon tucking myself in bed! F-for truth! |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
Though it was not by his own volition, we have confirmed that he is no longer in possession of a weapon, and has been… subdued. |
|
Öufi Assoc. Director |
We will allow for a ten-minute recess to let things calm down for a moment, then we will proceed as planned. |
|
SINCLAIR |
Um, excuse me, Lady Nelly…? |
|
Nelly |
Lady Nelly?! No need for such honorifics! Please, just call me Nelly~ |
|
SINCLAIR |
The contractors that Mister… Linton Edgar brought… they once worked at this manor, right? |
|
Nelly |
Yes, indeed. Some Butlers from the Earnshaws, like myself, followed Miss Catherine to Master Linton's. Of course, most of Master Linton's Butlers are from his own Edgar Family. |
|
SINCLAIR |
So… if he gives the order to… attack us, Lady Nelly would… |
|
Nelly |
Oh, pish posh! Ridiculous! |
|
Nelly |
I was a Butler in direct service of Miss Catherine. |
|
Nelly |
Young Master Linton could plead and beg all he wants, but I won't always be taking his side. |
|
GREGOR |
So, uh… |
|
GREGOR |
What exactly are the Butlers? |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Butlers? Forsooth, I am quite well-acquainted with this matter! They are— |
|
RYŌSHŪ |
House dogs on tight leash, groveling before their masters. |
|
HONG LU |
The most trustworthy and loyal people I've ever known, I'd say. |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
—Fixers bound to families! |
|
GREGOR |
… Nice. Gotcha. Some great help you fellas are. |
|
DANTE |
<Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one out of the loop for once.> |
|
Nelly |
At least some of you know who we Butlers are. It is a rather rare occupation, so not many people even know that we exist. |
|
RODION |
Mm~ doesn't sound like most normal folk would have a reason to know anything about 'em. |
|
RODION |
… Unless they're in a position where they have no choice but to work at the rich folks' homes. |
|
GREGOR |
Well, one of us is quite… a passionate fan of Fixers. |
|
Nelly |
Quite. Oh, I'm very pleased to know that our dear Heathcliff made some very intelligent friends! |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Lady Nelly…! |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
I promise thee that, once I make my return to the bus, I shall have my hands on the Butler figurine I had given up on acquiring! It shall stand tall and proud on the front-most row of my display shelf…! |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Allow me to explain! Butlers are Fixers, indeed; yet they are raaather distinct from most Fixers thou hast encountered thus far. |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
A 'Fixer' oft refers to those who accept contracts as a part of an Association or an Office! Alas, there exists a distinction when it comes to Butlers! |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Butlers join families or manors to serve them, and only them, on long-term contracts! Forsooth, like any other Fixers, Butlers may be hired by a single person to serve them and only them as well! |
|
Nelly |
Do note that our service is not limited to combat; we also conduct household management and care as well. |
|
Nelly |
It must also be mentioned that proficiency in many fields is a necessity to be a respected Butler~ This is no easy occupation, mind you! |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Yet from what I have learned… to hire a Butler is to pay an inordinate amount of salary… |
|
Nelly |
Indeed. While Butlers are always oh-so busy, we are promised expensive compensation at every contract extension, with stable bonuses such as pensions. |
|
Nelly |
Many famous Association Fixers also retire to serve as Butlers as well. |
|
Nelly |
I was once a Butler in service of Miss Catherine's family, and was transferred to Master Linton Edgar's family to join their ranks when she married him. |
|
Nelly |
Still, after a rather peaceful, mutual 'debate' we came to the conclusion that I would be assuming the position of the Chief Butler… leader of the Butlers in that household. |
|
GREGOR |
Gotcha… totally peaceful. Mhm… I'm sure it really was one peaceful transfer of power. |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Ooh… 'tis quite fascinating to imagine that even Sir Heathcliff once had been a tiny bairn… How was he as a youth? |
|
Nelly |
Mm, he was… quite the special child. I do not believe that I would have become a Chief Butler had it not been for him. |
|
Nelly |
Oh, what a lovely boy he was~ |
|
DON QUIXOTE |
Umm… lovely… quite… |
