[Black Butler] Noah's Ark

Chapter 5 Death, the past

Death dispatch association.

The bald chairman looked at the girls in the audience and asked in a more friendly tone: "Do you still remember your own name?"

The girl looked at the bald man on the stage with her purest eyes: "?"

The Grim Reaper wiped his own Grim Reaper's Scythe and didn't know why he was snickering.

"Probably called Sylvia."

In the past, that is, when she was still in the world, after she was crowned with the titles of "child prodigy" and "court painter", she was arranged to live alone in a side house, receiving various gifts from the queen's deacon. Photographs, portraits of various people or landscapes for the Queen.

Except for her father, mother, and the queen's exclusive deacon who came to communicate with her, no one knew that all the lifelike portraits of the queen were drawn by a child who was only five years old.

But it doesn't matter, even if she is alone, she will not feel lonely, as soon as she picks up the paintbrush, everything around her has nothing to do with her, she is only five years old.

Family affection, friendship, joy, sadness, anger, she has never experienced these feelings, she is only five years old.

The only person she talked to was the old deacon sent by the queen. The old deacon often taught her to study, gave her some books for entertainment, and regarded her as his granddaughter. The doll on the bedside was the last time he sent her Things, I still remember the last look that the old deacon gave her before he left, the meaning expressed in that look was—farewell.

A week later, the army sent by the queen destroyed the mansion. Even so, people still forgot to take all her paintings back, and locked the five-year-old child with long iron chains around his ankles, and locked him in this remote place. house...

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

The bald chairman straightened his glasses and coughed lightly and continued: "Well, Sylvie, all ties between you and the human world have been severed. Since you have never done anything evil and are very qualified, you can consider whether I want to join the camp of the god of death." Seeing the girl still didn't respond, the chairman was a bit dark, it's really hard for children to communicate!

Spears looked at the little child in the audience, and really wanted to rub her little face~ Mengmeng~.

Seeing the chairman sitting next to him helplessly support his forehead, Spears said kindly: "Hey~ kid, being the god of death is very fun and exciting~ You can take away other people's souls and revolving doors... Oh! But First of all, you have to practice first~ After passing the internship test period, we will assign you a job with salary~ And... Ha! How about it, kid! Have you thought about it?"

"..." Listening to Spears's cheerful words, Sylvia lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, and fell into a deep thought that didn't match her age. "Exciting work?" '.

Spears sat on the rostrum and looked at Sylvia in the audience, and said in a low voice with regret: "Obviously he is a cute child, if he can smile, it will be more perfect~"

The God of Reaper, who had nothing to do at the side, crossed his legs, propped his chin with one hand, and leaned leisurely on the seat, looking at the girl who was thinking with interest.

"Little friend..." Seeing that the girl kept her head down and kept silent, Spears on the rostrum was about to continue to say something, but was interrupted by the girl's movement of raising her head. It seemed that she had thought about it.Continue to ask with a kind smile: "It seems that you have thought it over, tell me about your decision."

The girl said in a serious tone with her soft and immature voice: "My lords, thank you. Becoming the Grim Reaper is a very good proposal. Just now, Mr. Spears introduced so much, I think it is very challenging, so... "

The voice hadn't finished yet, and before Sylvia could say the final decision, "Great!! There is a girl at last!!", anyway, the answer was clear, and Spears was so excited that he was about to cry.

But before his tears flowed, a boy about seven years old came in from the door, with a serious face like a robot, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, holding garden shears in his hand. Without looking at the girl, he went straight to her side and reported, "Master Spears, I have finished my task today, I can leave work..."

"Oh, William, you came at just the right time!" Spears nodded perfunctorily, then put his hands together and said with a smile: "This cute little friend is the new intern Death, Sylvia, we adults still have things to deal with now , take your little sister outside to play first~"

Play?William glanced at the Grim Reaper who was sitting leisurely on the seat, then turned his gaze to the child, and said coldly, "Intern, please come with me."

After the two kids left...

The bald chairman flipped through the information and said: "Gurette Bredo, your retirement time has come, do you plan to continue this career or..."

Reaper stood up from his seat, stretched his waist and said, "You can count me as semi-retired. I plan to open a store in the human world and do something interesting~"

Spears' gold-rimmed glasses collapsed, and he straightened them up and asked curiously, "Open a store? What store are you going to open?"

The god of death smiled and said, "The funeral home. Oh! By the way~ The newcomer, Sylvia, let me guide you, how about it?"

......

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

"Just wait here for the people inside to come out, do you need any help?" William asked politely.

"No, thank you." The girl also replied very politely.

William took the strange girl to the lookout pavilion on the outer wall platform of the dispatch association, turned and left after speaking, but the girl didn't pay attention to him, and after politely thanking him, she seemed to have established An invisible barrier separates oneself from others, making people inaccessible with the appearance of not disturbing strangers.

'But this kind of character is also very good, not like someone, chattering non-stop...'.After William walked a certain distance, he looked back unnaturally. The girl just sat there leisurely, looking up at the blue and cloudless sky.

'It's too quiet, it looks a bit lonely... Forget it, anyway, today's task has been completed, and there is nothing to do when I am idle, it is not good to leave the newcomer there alone. 'He thought so, turned around and walked back to where the girl was.

Of course, Sylvia didn't notice that the other party was coming from a distance, she was used to not caring about others, she just looked at the sky, her inner OS: Reaper The sky here is more beautiful than that in England, and the air is much better.

"Ha~ Today's weather is really nice~! Speaking of which, where did William go? Didn't he say to report to the association~" With a complaining tone, the child who spoke Jiao Didi had red hair tied into twin ponytails, with red Glasses, mouth pouting, hips akimbo came from the other direction, and he saw the girl sitting there with her hair raised in a daze.

"Ah, ah, ah! Is this a newcomer?" Walking up to the girl, he lowered his head and looked directly at her and asked, "Hey! Newcomer girl, do you see a girl with black-rimmed glasses, short black hair, and a little bit on her forehead?" Kuan still combs his bangs three to seven times, what a handsome boy~?"

Sylvia was immersed in her own world, and was slightly dazzled by the sudden burst of bright red, "Very arrogant tone. Raising his eyebrows, he slightly raised his head and looked directly at the other party. After seeing the blue pupils, he understood, and asked without answering: "Are you also an intern Death?".

The pupils of that Uncle Reaper and the chairmen are blue-gold. The chairman seems to have said just now that the intern Reaper only passes the final test, and the blue pupils will turn into blue-gold.Although Sylvia felt that it didn't matter what happened.

Under Sylvia's undisguised gaze, the fiery red-haired man in front of him completely forgot the question just now, sat down opposite the girl and said, "Oh~ yes." Then I also noticed the pupil color of this newcomer, and said curiously: "But your pupils are still navy blue, why, don't you have a mentor yet?"

"Tutor?" Speaking of which, the chairman hasn't arranged a mentor for her yet.

Seeing Sylvia's expression of "I don't know the situation yet", Greer explained enthusiastically, "Ah! Don't you know yet?...(During the explanation), that's it~" Haha !I am very satisfied with my explanation.

"Ah! I almost forgot!! Did you see a guy with glasses, short black hair, a little bit wide forehead and combed three to seven points..." As he spoke, the girl opposite looked behind him The line of sight was interrupted, and the back was inexplicably a little chilly...

'Could it be? Greer's eyes frantically hinted at the girl sitting opposite, but the other party chose to ignore it without hesitation!

"The forehead is a bit wide and combed a little bit, Greer, are you looking for me?" Although a childish but cold voice sounded from behind Greer.

Greer was overjoyed: "Ah...this tone~this noble voice~William~ he is obviously a child but he is very precocious, like a civil servant..." I just wanted to cheer, but then I recalled the description just now, " The forehead is a bit wide and combed three to seven points...'It's not good!Greer bounced up in an instant, sat next to Sylvia, put his hands on her shoulders intimately, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "William~ Look! This girl is also a newcomer! "

Greer took comfort in his wit: 'Ah, that scares the hell out of me!Fortunately, the reaction is fast! '

He put his hands on the girl's shoulders now, and felt that the girl's shoulders became obviously stiff, "Huh? Newcomer, what's the matter?" Turning his head and looking, the expression on the newcomer's face seemed to have become a little strange too.

"Grel, take your hands off her shoulders." William said lightly.

"Huh?!" With embarrassing retraction of his hands, Greer was a little frustrated. Could it be that he was rejected?

After the weight on her shoulders disappeared, Sylvieren finally came to her senses. Seeing Greer's embarrassing expression again, she quickly said, "Sorry, it's my own problem. I'm not used to being in contact with people..."

"What! Newcomer, you are just a little shy, don't be nervous, just take your time!" Little Greer said kindly, and introduced himself: "I haven't introduced myself yet, Greer Sutcliffe, the intern Death death☆!" After finishing speaking, he posed confidently, "Hey, what about you, newcomer, what's your name?"

Seeing Greer's bright smile and this...strange pose, Sylvan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile, "Sylvan, you just became an intern death today."

"Okay, okay, William, don't stand there alone, let's get along well in the future ~ Xiaoqian!" Greer said happily, and extended his hand in a friendly way, "Let's start by shaking hands!"

Sylvie looked at the other's outstretched right hand, first clenched the right hand beside her side, then lifted it slightly tremblingly, and held the other's outstretched hand.

"Ah--it hurts!! Xiaoqian, you don't need to shake hands so hard!!" This was the scream from Greer.

......

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

The silver-haired God of Death sat in front of the carriage and drove steadily, and Sylvia was sitting next to a coffin in the carriage, intently looking at several textbooks about the thickness of a fist issued by the Death Association.

"Xiaoqian~ Have you made any new friends in the God of Death Realm?" The God of Death, who was sitting outside the carriage, asked with a flattering tone, and what he thought was the gentlest voice in his life.

"Are you friends? If you become friends after introducing yourself to each other, then that's it." Sylvia stopped the book that was half-turned and memorized, moved forward and asked: "Grell told me that every internship Every god of death has a mentor, uncle, are you my mentor?"

"Cough!" This little girl who has no eyesight sees me with such a face and still calls me uncle! "That's right, I've never brought an intern Reaper with me~"

'Is this person a first-time mentor? Sylvia said sensiblely: "Please rest assured, tutor, I will study hard."

Of course, the god of death would not know what was going on in Sylvia's mind right now, so he just praised happily: "Not bad, good boy. First of all, there is a problem with addressing, you can't call me uncle or mentor, just call me ~ Ni-chan!"

Sylvie twitched the corners of her mouth, pondered for a while, and tentatively called out in a subtle tone: "Ni...Ni-chan?"

"Hey hey! It's not bad for Xiaoqian to be called Nini~!"

... There was no sound in the car, and after a while, "Can I just call your teacher?"

In front of the funeral home shop.

The silver-haired Grim Reaper, after opening the door and entering, looked at the various decorations he had prepared with satisfaction, lowered his head with a smile and said to the expressionless girl, "Xiaoqian, we're home~"
