[Black Butler] Noah's Ark

Sylvie, Sebastian, and Ciel came to the circus on foot, although Ciel complained halfway: "Why don't you take a carriage? Isn't it much easier to get down halfway and walk?"

Seeing Charles' dissatisfaction, Sylvie walked up to him and said to Charles with a smile, "Finian is tired from walking, do you want me to hug you?"

Charles snorted softly and turned his head: "No need!"

"Count, you have to do a full set of acting, let your shoes get a little dusty." Seeing Charles' irritated look, Sylvia smiled and raised her hand to rub his soft hair: "It's almost here, according to the count At this speed, we can go there in about 30 minutes."

"Thirty points!..." Charles sighed heavily and was speechless, but it seemed that Sebastian, who was beside him, seemed to be in a particularly bright mood today.

*******************

I heard that there will be three newcomers coming today. Several members of the First Army and a group of members of the Second Army came to join in the fun in the open space. Everyone formed a half circle. The men stared blankly at a very beautiful woman, and the women blushed. Looking at a very handsome man, the delicate boy standing between the two of them accepted everyone's gaze.

Dag looked at the three of them and asked curiously, "Huh? Well, are you a family...?"

"certainly not!"

"no."

"No."

Dag said with a dry smile, "Oh, haha, I'm sorry."

"Three~Welcome~" Joker came to the front of the three with a smile and applauded. After greeting Sylvia and Sebastian, he half-bent down and stared at Charles with a smile and said kindly: "Oh, you still brought Such a lovely child. Is it a boy?"

Charles took half a step back, and said in a low voice and shyly: "Yes, I am in charge of hospitality in the house, that...I...my name is Finian."

"This name is very common. Forget it. After joining the group, I have to take a stage name." Joker bent down and looked into Charles' eyes and asked, "Is it really a boy?"

Charles thought to himself 'what else? ! ’ But with a harmless look on his face, he replied: “Yes.”

"Well~" Joker nodded, "But in a circus, just being cute can't work, if you don't know any skills~" Joker asked with his waist in his arms, "Boy, what are you good at?"

"Well, to put it bluntly, it's throwing darts."

"How about throwing a throwing knife in that case?" Joker turned his head and shouted at Dag: "Dag, can you borrow a throwing knife?" Seeing that Dag, Jiang Bo, Dole, Peter, and Wendy are gathering Discussing something together, looking at Sylvia from time to time, Joker walked over, "What are you discussing? Now is the assessment time for new members, Dag, hurry up and lend your throwing knife to this little brother."

"We're discussing... oh, can my little brother throw knives? I'll be right over in a moment." Dag ran towards Yijun's own tent as he spoke, and came back with a bunch of knives in his hands after a while , Seeing the boy got the knife, Joker pointed to the human-shaped target not far away and said to him: "Stand here and shoot that target. I'm not making things difficult. If it's too close, it's not a performance."

'This distance can't be shot by myself, but since those two guys are there, I can definitely do it. With that in mind, Charles confidently walked to the opposite side of the target.

Sylvielen stood beside Sebastian with her arms crossed, glanced at the pebble in Sebastian's hand, and watched with interest as Charles held the throwing knife straight and half-raised for aiming. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice with a smile, "Although I know the final result, it's quite interesting to look at the Earl like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Charles' knife was also thrown out. The knife flew to the position less than half the distance from the target and was about to fall. When everyone in the circus showed an expression of "I knew it was like this", the knife suddenly Turning a corner, he stuck straight and forcefully into the target, Joker and Dag shouted together: "Σ(`д'*ノ)ノ No way!!"

The corner of Charles' mouth raised, and he began to throw out the throwing knives one by one without any hesitation. Sebastian threw the stones quickly and accurately, while smiling as if he hadn't done anything. He said: "My young master has always been so interesting." Until the end of Shire's knife throwing performance, when Joker stepped forward to talk to him, Sebastian suddenly asked again: "But I have a question to ask Miss Sivellen replied, do you have any relationship with the members of the First Army of the circus?"

"You mean they were discussing my matter over there just now." Sylvielen cast her eyes on Joker who was talking to Ciel, half folded her arms and propped her chin, and said with some uncertainty, "Maybe~ what's the matter?" It's related, although I don't even remember when I met people from the circus."

Under the platform more than 30 meters above the ground, Sebastian, Sylvia, Joker, and Dag stood in a row and looked up at the two people on the high platform at 45°. On the high platform opposite, the waist suddenly tightened, Charles gritted his teeth and endured the pain, frowned and lowered his head and said to Dole: "It's so tight."

"Be patient, don't you want to die?" A seemingly indifferent cobalt blue pupil was exposed under the white rose's hood, and Dole just raised his eyes to look at the thin boy, and continued to tie his hands. seat belt.

Joker raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Dole~! Fasten your seat belt tighter! He is a beginner, and it will be very dangerous if he falls!"

Standing below, Sylvia could clearly see the gaze Charles cast on her from time to time and his tightly clenched fists. I believe Sebastian must have seen it too, but he didn't intend to speak out to help.

After hearing what Joker yelled, Ciel became even more uneasy, and immediately stared straight at Sylvia, who deliberately narrowed her eyes slightly, gave Ciel an encouraging smile, and then restrained her smile before Ciel got angry. With a worried tone, he said to the Joker beside him: "Deputy head Joker, although the throwing knife just now was a bit simple, but is the high-altitude rope too difficult for Finian? There are other performances in the circus. project."

Sylvia, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly spoke to him, and Joker quickly looked at Sylvan, "Ah? It! Oh, others." Joker scratched his face, looked away and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't do it at high altitude. Rope walking is something that every member must do before joining the group, whether they passed it or not, it mainly tests their courage and balance."

"Oh, that's it." Sylvielen looked at Shire again, spread her hands slightly, and opened and closed her mouth silently. Come on, Earl. '

Charles sighed and began to take a deep breath, 'Since this is the last quiz, let's take it! '

After confirming the seat belt, Dole saw the boy clenched his fist tremblingly, looked up at the boy's profile and asked, "Do you want to stop?"

"No, I'll go." Charles' tone was firm, completely gone from his uneasy look at the beginning, and cautiously took the first step forward...

Enduring the pain of being hit by Sebastian with a stone, Joker finally finished the whole journey. Joker applauded and said, "It's amazing, I didn't expect you to be able to finish it~", Charles rubbed Looking at the place where the stone hurts, "Thank you." Finally relieved, even Dag ran over and touched Charles's little head affectionately, "Senior, then this little cutie is qualified!"

Joker stopped and applauded and said seriously: "Not yet!"

"Huh?" Both Charles and Dag looked at him blankly.

"Boy, you're still missing one very important thing..." Joker walked up to Ciel solemnly, pointed at his expressionless face and said, "That's... an amazing~smile!"

Charles immediately realized, "Σ(°△°|||) what?!"

"Pfft..." "Heh heh heh..." Sylvie, who was standing aside, turned her head and suppressed a smile, while Sebastian turned around and left a trembling back smiling with his mouth covered.

Seeing Ciel's dumbfounded look, Joker smiled and put his shoulders on Ciel's shoulders, Dag also looked at him with a smile, "Come on, smile, what's the matter, don't keep a straight face~ Hurry~ Smile~ Hurry up ~Smile and see~Smile~"

Charles lowered his head, gritted his teeth patiently, listened to Joker repeating the word 'smile', silently clenched his fists, "Ha~" raised his head and showed great!Very!Bright and lovely smiling faces, seeing this, Sylvia and Sebastian laughed even harder...

In the tent of costumes and props, Sylvie laughed and put on circus clown makeup for the displeased Master Charles. When he put on a well-fitting outfit and a pirate hat with blue feathers, he also said, "That's such a wonderful smile, master."

Charles lowered his head, raised his brows constantly, and added countless '╬' to his head. Hearing the ridicule from God of Death and the Devil, he finally broke out unbearably, "Enough is enough for you two! With Sylvia, why are you still wearing this dress?"

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Sylvie stood up and walked to the mirror to look at her trench coat and suit, nodded and concluded, "It's clean and tidy, there's nothing wrong with it."

"That's the problem, right? Why don't you change into the circus clothes? You don't just come to see the excitement..." Charles curled his lips and tugged at the exaggerated blue color on his hat feather.

Sylvia smiled and took out a white coat from behind, changed the black windbreaker and put on a clean white coat, and reinserted the feather on the hat for Charles: "Okay, I'll go out first gone."

"Eh?!" Charles stared dumbfounded at Sylvellen, who lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out. He turned back to Sebastian and asked with a blank expression, "Did you know it a long time ago?"

Sebastian rubbed his chin, tilted his head with a look of sudden realization and said, "No, I just found out that Miss Sylvia didn't come to the circus to apply for a performer, but a doctor. .”

Charles pointed to the direction where Sylvia had just left: "So, when was that guy admitted to become a circus doctor? Didn't she just stay with us all the time? Sigh, forget it."

After getting along for a period of time, Charles also knew that Sylvia was not a troublemaker (fog), and now he could only sigh helplessly and said: "I hope she can help us find out the relationship between this circus and those missing children as soon as possible." relationship."
