[Black Butler] Noah's Ark

*****Reaper Dispatch Association*****

From time to time, a few colleagues would pass by in the long aisle of the guild hall. Today, the gods of death who dispatched the management department of the association are also busy with various tasks.

A man in a neat suit stands at a desk and waits for a new task.

"William T. Spears, it's up to you to inform Severon Bredeau that the vacation is over, and this is the recycling job."

"Yes." William took the document from the leader, "Then I will take my leave."

"Yo! William~ what good mission did you accept, your expression is so clear!"

Hearing the voice and tone, William frowned uncomfortably, and just walked out of the hall when he ran into this guy...William didn't stop at all, and didn't even give him a look as he passed by: "Greil, I didn't expect to 'open up' The confinement of the "hand incident" is over so soon, it seems that the people above can arrange work for you."

"Ah..haha..." The teasing smile froze for three seconds, and Greer followed up again, "Wait, William~ Where are you going? Take me, I'm so boring right now~"

"It's your business that you are bored. I have a job. Goodbye." William quickened his pace silently.

"Hey wait, let's go together now~" Greer still stuck to William with a smile on his face, "But are you alone this time? Why didn't you see the executioner of death?"

William smiled calmly, and then said lightly: "I'm going to inform the executioner of death first."

"Ah~ I really want to partner with William too~" In the process of walking quickly, Greer leaned his head on William's shoulder "That's right! That's it! Tell me who is the god of death this time, and I'll get it He tied it and..."

William knocked off the red head on his left shoulder with the document in his hand: "Shut up, who wants to partner with you, a troublemaker."

Greer rubbed his head, pouted and said, "William is really~" Then he plotted in his heart without giving up.

"I advise you to give up. This time, the god of death arranged by the superior is Sylvia."

"Eh..." As if a silent thunder struck him, Greer froze in place, and raised the corner of his mouth, "It's Xiao... Xiaoqian, she came back when I was in confinement?" Greer instantly recalled the previous paragraph Time made a mistake by itself, and walked away with his head in his hands, muttering as he walked: "It's over...it's over..."

William watched the back of Greer leaving, snorted and chuckled, and pulled out the small paper clipped on the first page of the document, on which was the location of Sylvia.

After seeing where she was, William's glasses reflected again, and his fingers squeezed the paper "...Phantomhive."

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

It was a beautiful morning, the windows were all white, and the snow in the courtyard of Phantomhive's house had been cleared away.

"What should I do today?" Sylvia looked at the gray sky through the window, leaning back on the single sofa boredly, the fire in the fireplace hadn't stopped.

There are demons living in this house. Even though they have signed a contract with humans, they still cannot sleep with complete peace of mind at night.I feel sleepy, I don’t want to sleep, I don’t want to move, so I have been sitting here for several hours since 4 o’clock in the morning. In fact, it’s not bad to sit in a daze like this.

"Dong dong." There were two light knocks on the door, "Miss Sylvia, is it convenient for you now?" Merlin asked nervously outside the door. She has never woken up a guest before. Would she be upset if she woke her up while sleeping... She had already thought of a lot of things before knocking on the door.

Sylvia stood up briskly from the sofa and opened the door, looking at the lovely maid wearing thick glasses friendly: "Good morning, Miss Merlin, I've been up for a long time and I'm bored, why don't you accompany me out for a stroll ?”

"Eh?! Then... That shopping, no, I'm really sorry, I still have a lot of work at home today, so I can't accompany..." As he spoke, his face became more and more red.

"Um, you don't have to be so panicky." Sylvie smiled and patted Merlin's shoulder lightly. "Are you here to ask me to go downstairs for dinner?"

"Ah! I almost forgot again! Morning... breakfast is ready, please Miss Sylvia come downstairs to eat with me."

"Well, let's go." The two moved towards the restaurant one after the other.

Merlin pushed open the door: "Master, Miss Sylvia is here."

"Good morning, little count." Sylvia greeted her in with a smile: "Morning, everyone."

The breakfast was going on quietly, and Sylvie felt that there was always a line of sight looking at her from the opposite side. "Hehe." She smiled softly, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and looked at Charles in the direction of the main seat with a smile: "Any more questions to ask, Count."

Charles also raised the corners of his mouth, crossed his hands, and made some calculations in his eyes, "Well, there's no problem, how did you rest last night?"

"Very good. After drinking the milk from the earl, I slept more soundly. I really want to stay longer—" Siwellen paused, looked out of the window, and then sighed with a smile: "No, I I just came back."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Charles also glanced at the empty window, and then at Sebastian.

Sylvia slowly got up from her seat: "It's nothing, please don't worry, someone is here to pick me up and go to work."

After a while, Sylvie was standing at the door with her suitcase in her hand. She had already changed into a slim suit and a double-breasted long black coat.Charles looked her up and down and said, "You look like an elite, completely different from the Grim Reaper I've seen before."

"Let's take it as if you are praising me. That Grim Reaper before? Which Grim Reaper have you seen?" Sylvie was a little curious.

Charles held his forehead and shook his hand: "It's nothing, he's an annoying guy...I'll see you off here, let's go."

"Hehe, I will definitely see you again in the future, little count." After speaking, he stepped forward to hug Charles lightly, smacked his face politely, and disappeared from everyone's sight after speaking.

afternoon.

Sebastian brought the pastry to Charles' desk and poured a cup of tea: "This is the oolong tea that Liu brought from China, and the pastry that goes with the tea. Please taste it."

"Well, it's not bad." Charles rubbed his temples: "I originally wanted Sylvia to help me with something, but I didn't expect to leave so soon."

"Oh?" Sebastian just smiled.

"Sebastian, what did the prince from India do today?"

Refilled a cup of hot tea, "Their master and servant are the same as when they first met us, they have been looking for someone."

"As long as it doesn't get in our way."

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

After leaving Phantomhive's mansion, Sylvelen walked towards the pier.

Seeing a familiar figure from a distance, Sylvie approached quietly, and patted the man on the shoulder heavily, "Long time no see, William! How are you doing?" Then she snickered and walked straight to the pier Huge ship docked in front.

William, who was looking in another direction, was indeed frightened by Sylvia's sudden shock. He turned around and saw that she had boarded the boat, and walked side by side with her a few steps.

After entering the cabin, Sylvie fell down on the sofa.

"It's really getting more and more unserious. It seems that you have enjoyed playing these few years."

"Yeah, I started working as soon as I came back. I knew I would have stayed outside for a while. Thank you." Sylvie was complaining pretendingly, and the luggage in her hand had already been taken by William.

"You came back after getting tired of playing outside." William put away his luggage, and accurately expressed Sylvia's heartfelt feelings.

Sylvia sat down and smiled, "William, you really understand me. So, what is your job this time?"

"The time limit for this job recovery is one month." After receiving the materials handed over by William, Sylvie quickly read them down.

After a while, she closed the document, reached out to take the teacup, and took a sip of the hot tea. "One month is enough to make me feel like I'm working again."

In the box of a passenger cabin, Sylvia was talking about the interesting things outside these years while eating snacks. William just sat across from her and kept looking at her, listening to her quietly.

"William, why are you in a daze? I said, did something happen to Greer while I was away?" Sylvia raised her eyebrows and asked, although Charles didn't say anything, just mentioned it briefly.

"Well... Let him go back and talk about it himself." William opened the file again and looked at it.

Sylvielen retracted her gaze and nodded, "Sure enough, I got into trouble~"

The boat was already sailing to a vast ocean, and Sylvielen sat up sleepily, stretched lazily, took out her pocket watch and checked the time, "Then I'll go to the deck and wait, we want to go together ?"

"I won't go, you can finish this job by yourself." After Sylvia got up, William warned again: "Besides work, don't cause trouble."

Sylvie retreated outside the door, "Understood~!" Then she quickly closed and pushed the door to leave.

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

It was already pitch black outside, the cold moonlight reflected on the sea, and the stars in the sky were sparsely scattered.

At 1:42 in the morning, two people came on the deck, and at this time, Sylvia was already sitting on the roof watching the play.

The two people were talking in opposition at first, and then one of them became more and more emotional, while the other still didn't realize the danger slowly approaching behind him.

"Time is ticking ~ Death's work is here~" Sylvieron, with a dark night-like scythe on her shoulders, jumped down from the cabin roof, and came quietly to the man who was about to die. forward.

The man clutched the place where he was bleeding profusely, and struggled to crawl towards Sylvellen, making a weak voice, "Help...help me..."

"Oh? Can you see me? Looks like it's coming soon."

Sylvia ignored him and watched the second hand on the pocket watch ticking until 2 o'clock.

The man closed his eyes, and the last thing he saw was a smiling beautiful woman walking towards him slowly with a pitch-black sickle, and an ethereal voice came into his head: "Unfortunately, Timeisup .”

It turned out that this was the Grim Reaper.
