Ryui-san! If this keeps up, you will be expelled from the Karigane School of Servitude!

Ryui Icon
Ryui

The fuck? Forget graduation, I don't remember ever enrolling!?

Sakujiro

Regarding the circumstances concerning the enrollment, please refer to the event story—

Whatever do you mean, Ryui-san. Do you not feel ashamed seeing your classmates out-do you? Please, take a look at Hachinoya-sama.

Reciting “Butler Oblige: 108 Commandments”. “One must be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of granting their master’s wishes.” “One must not speak without permission from their master.” “A servant’s greatest honor-”

Ryui

Heh, if it’s as easy as that, then this’ll barely take me a minute. Besides, that guy’s probably just tired of “bowing” so he’s desperately tryin’ to cram this bullshit.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

…I see. The spirit of servitude never existed within Ryui-san in the first place. No matter how many of the 108 commandments you memorize, I still cannot allow you to graduate.

Chief.

Huh, oh, y-yes!

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

May I ask you to lend a hand, nay, two hands, in earnest to assist Ryui-san in fostering the spirit of servitude within him?

Kaede Icon
Kaede

Me…?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Fucking hell. Nah, no need for that shit.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

A spirit of servitude is also a heart of hospitality. By doing this, I am sure that it will also contribute to his growth as a Ward Mayor.

Kaede Icon
Kaede

…! Got it! In that case, please, allow me to help!

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Um, no. Hold the fuck up. You think I’m just gonna let you—

*Sakujiro pulls Ryui aside and whispers*

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Ryui-san.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

You wish to continue working alongside your younger brother as a Ward Mayor, correct? It would be in your best interests to consider your position and comply rather than to start a ruckus right now. I can report to, contact, and consult the president at any moment regarding this situation of ours…

Ryui Icon
Ryui

*backs away* …Ugh!

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Wonderful! In that case, we shall begin our special training from today’s dinner onwards.

Kaede Icon
Kaede

Let’s do our best, Ryui-kun!

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Tch…

Night Time

(With all that said and done, the training has finally started…)

HAMA House – Dining Room

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Ora, here’s your fucking food. Hurry up and eat.

Kaede Icon
Kaede

O-Okay. Thanks for the meal!

(He’s taking this servant training seriously and treating me like a master.)

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Stop spacing out and eat. You have 30 seconds. I wanna hurry up and clean, damnit.

Kaede Icon
Kaede

(His attitude is completely different from that of a servant though…)

Ooh, you made mapo tofu! It’s good!

Ryui Icon
Ryui

I just mixed a pre-made sauce packet and then stir-fried it. Here.

Kaede Icon
Kaede

A spoon?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

It’s easier to eat it with a spoon than chopsticks.

Kaede Icon
Kaede

Thanks.

(Ryui-kun’s got a knack for this…)
