[Black Butler] Ate that spider

the old man gave up

Charles' method was very simple. When he was captured, he noticed that the room seemed to be on the first floor. In a small room, the only light source was a long-abandoned glass-less room hanging high above the wall. window.The size of the hole was too small for adults, but it was just right for teenagers like Charles and Torrance.

The only problem was the height, both were too short to reach the windows.

"So, as long as one person stays below, the other person climbs up, and then pulls the one below up after climbing up, and we can go out." Charles finally concluded.

"It's a good idea." Torrance praised in a vague way, and said hastily, "Then let me climb first." He had a good idea, once he climbed up, he would go out immediately, leaving Xia behind. Er alone.

"Why are you so aggressive?"

"Ah, I was discovered. In fact, Master Torrance is very afraid of such a closed place, so I can't wait to escape."

"Really?" Charles said inexplicably, looked into Torrance's eyes, and said slowly, "Actually, I don't like you, Torrance, I have met many nobles , but I still can't understand what you're doing. But, I just don't like you and don't agree with you. Under such circumstances, I think you are still my companion, and I choose to believe you." After finishing speaking, he left Go directly under the window, face the wall, lean on the wall, and motion for Torrance to stand on his shoulders.

Sorry, you mistrusted the wrong person.Saying something silently in his heart, Torrance began to climb the wall, ah, no, climb Shire.

This matter was not as simple as imagined. As soon as he stood on Charles' shoulder, Torrance's feet trembled suddenly, and Charles trembled violently as if electrified.

"You..." Torance looked at Charles' blushing face and trembling calves, pursed his lower lip, and reached for the window sill.But as soon as his hand touched the window sill, Charles' knees gave way, and the two of them fell down in a haphazard manner.

Torrance hurt a little more from the fall.

"Are you a woman? Can't stand it for a while? Is this what you call aristocrats? You're so ridiculous!" The harsher words were all swallowed up after seeing Charles' bleeding knee.

Even though his body was covered with dust, his knees were still bleeding, and his body could not stop shaking when he stood up, Charles once again stood in his original position with his back to Torrance and motioned him to climb onto his shoulders.

"I'll stand up this time, don't be afraid, Phantom Hein won't make the same mistake a second time."

"Then Torrance won't make the same mistake a second time, what are you going to do, let you throw me again? Am I a fool, Lord Torrance?" Saying this, Torrance pushed Charles away and stood In the place where Shire was originally, "Change to you."

With his head against the wall, Torrance's expression was so cold that a layer of frost could be scraped off.

He didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it anyway, that Charles would pull himself after climbing up.Why save yourself a reason?Motivation?Is it just because of a ridiculous word that can't even be promised?But even if he knew he would be betrayed, so what, Ciel had already made such a handsome gesture, if he flinched at this time, he would look down on him.

What a noble!His shoulders sank, and he stretched his legs to straighten his body.

What's so great about Charles!Bearing the weight of two people, but he straightened his body and stood straighter than ever.Feeling the weight on his shoulders gradually lighten, he raised his head slightly, staring at Charles with dark gray eyes like the ocean under the night, stepped back a few steps, and could almost see how Charles jumped out without looking back—— It was what he was going to do to Ciel.

"Hey, you, hurry up." A hand was handed in front of him, and Charles, who was sitting on the window sill, held the window rail with one hand and handed it to him with the other.

"Why...?" Torrance stared at Charles' hand and felt that it looked like a red-hot soldering iron. After a long while, he asked the question with difficulty.

"Hurry up, if we are found, neither of us can escape!" Charles' urging made him grab the soldering iron and use all his strength to climb.Fortunately, he was much stronger than Shire, and he climbed onto the window sill not long after.

The two jumped down, only to find that the window was facing a dark alley. They looked at each other and fled.

There was no direction, and no concept of time. The two stopped until their legs had no strength to move. When they looked up, they had already arrived on a bustling street in London. In this kind of place, they should be at ease.

Charles bent down, gasping for breath while holding his knee with one hand, but for some reason, the other hand was kept behind his back.

Torrance was panting too, but his chest was heaving for another reason.He gritted his teeth, tore off his sleeve, tore it into a long strip of white cloth, and handed it to Charles.

He saw, at that time, when Charles was pulling him, in order not to fall off the window sill, how the hand holding the window rail was cut and dripping with blood.

He took Shire's injured hand, bandaged it carefully, and turned around immediately after putting on the bowknot, not wanting Shire to see his flushed cheeks, "Go, as we agreed, go buy a gift for Liz, I want ... apologize to her."

"This is the best." Charles nodded, "And I should change my clothes, as well as yours. It's really not a gentleman's thing to show half an arm."

"As if having all kinds of mud on your body and bleeding from your hands and knees is what a gentleman does."

"It's better than wearing such dirty and smelly clothes."

"No, it's better than a guy so short that he can't even last a minute."

"It's all because you're too heavy!"

Bickering all the way, the happy mood of the two ended at the moment of payment.

While paying, Charles, wearing the new clothes he had just put on, turned and stared at Torrance motionlessly.

"What are you looking at me for?" asked Torrance, who had changed into a purple dress, "Didn't all the money be handed over to you? That bag of gold coins."

"..."

Looking at Charles' blank expression, he had a bad feeling, "Where is that much money? Where did you put it?"

"Paid to the coachman."

"What! So much money! Is that car made of gold or it belongs to the queen? Why did you give him so much money!"

"Come on, such a small amount of money is not even enough to pay for the walking stick. When I paid, the driver was still staring at me, with a look of wanting to eat me. If I hadn't run away, I would have been arrested. , I can't imagine being sued as a nobleman for not being able to pay for a cab!"

"I can't imagine how a fool would spend so much money in a taxi. Where's your common sense? Do you really have such a thing as common sense?"

"Can you blame me? You brought such a little money when you came out! One hundred gold coins can't even afford one of my cufflinks. By the way, I have four boxes of cufflinks like that!"

Torrance was outright defeated, and looking at Shire looking like it was all your fault, he started banging his head against the wall again.

He was wrong, he shouldn't have handed over the purse to Charles in the first place, that little bastard, Charles, has no idea of ​​money at all!No, the problem is not this, the problem is, what to do now, how to pay for the clothes that have been changed!

After thinking about it for a long time, Torrance began to take off her clothes.

"what are you doing?"

"What else can I do?" Torrance, who was only wearing a shirt, took off his coat and began to take off Shire's clothes angrily, "If you have no money to pay, take off the clothes, fold them and send them back!"

"You..." Charles' face flushed red all of a sudden, "I have never done such a shameful thing in my life! Alois Torrance, I ask you to take that sentence back!"

"It's useless for you to call your ancestors! Otherwise, go out and tell the shopkeeper, you are Charles Phantomhine, the owner of the Phantomhine family, and you just came out today without money or servants, Can you please put this dress on the account first, and give me a gold coin so that I can have money to take a taxi home, and I will definitely give it double in the next day." Torrance can swear to God, he said this When he said something, it was really just a casual joke, he really didn't expect Shire to take it seriously.

Seeing Charles walking out with great vigor, Torrance didn't even have the strength to bang his head against the wall.

never mind. . .After changing his clothes, Torrance stood in the street in a tattered shirt with only one sleeve, counting sheep boredly.

When they counted to seventeen, they saw a similarly embarrassed Shire being thrown out by the collar, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and was thrown directly into the mud.

"How dare you treat me like this! I am Earl Phantomhin!" Charles stood up angrily, ignoring the mud that was neither aesthetic nor gentlemanly, waving his arms and shouting at the store manager Call.

"Then why don't you say you are the Marquis of Torrance?" The man who threw him out sneered.

"The Marquis of Torrance is here!" Charles shouted, pointing at Torrance. "You are talking to me!"

Torrance showed him a big face, and her eight teeth gleamed in the sun, but they didn't connect.

The man cast his eyes away from the ragged Torrance, and said, "Then I'm still a prince." After speaking, he walked back.

He left, but Torrance couldn't leave. Charles, who was furious, grabbed his collar and snarled, "Are you a fool? Is your sense of shame a negative thing? Can't you see that bastard despises you like that?" ? Dare you take out the glory of the Torrance family to fight him!"

"Don't dare." Replied without hesitation, Torrance looked up at the sky and said silently, I'm not stupid. . .

The author has something to say:

Regarding the matter of cheating people, it seems that there is really a heredity. . .

The author has always liked to eat plums, and today I bought a big bag to eat, but my mother came to say something leisurely.

Mother: Eat peach meat and apricots will hurt you, and people will be buried under the plum tree.

Author: (frightened peeing) What do you mean?

Mother: Probably eating too much is bad for your health.

After talking about it, my mother washed a large basin of plums for me, and said: Come here, eat more if you like it, and I will buy it for you tomorrow.

The author said that I didn't eat a single plum today. . .
