They’re all the jealous type even if they don’t seem like it 🤣

Especially the Home Screen lines where they’re like

“I saw you talking with other butlers and while I am happy seeing you enjoying yourself but I don’t know why my heart feels unease, I’m sorry I shouldn’t feel this way, please forgive me for saying so.”

Berrien

Berrien is definitely very jealous 👀 and canonly he has super big feelings for aruji.

Definitely the 2024 birthday card he admits to aruji he would see Aruji talking with other butlers and going back to their world and he’s really jealous skdjjsjsjns he just keeps his feelings down but when you reread events you can really tell Berrien has secret possessiveness throughout especially like summer event where he puts a jacket over you immediately, giving you the meat skewer he cooked, for butler’s Christmas, he also lets you drink the soup he makes first, and when it comes to tea, it’s always him who makes it for you, and whenever his head is deep in his work, the moment he hears your voice he would react right away but when it comes to other people he couldn’t hear them 😭

After all with Berrien has been waiting for such a long time for you. And you were the one who released him from his pain, you’re the fated one and especially for white day, he made the Baumkuchen cake with lots of layers and the meaning of that is spending all time with you.

He’s also a master at hiding his feelings but when it comes to aruji he just keeps slipping out 🤣

And there’s also the ring lock from Halloween. 👀

Lono

Lono is also a really straightforward boy who’s like “for some reason I don’t feel happy seeing you with that guy…Oh! SORRY DON’T MEAN TO SAY THAT-“ but you can really tell from his face right away 🤣

He’s really easy to tell, and he would most likely keep staring at you and if he gets reminded by others, he’ll be like “m-my bad-!!” Kdjdkdjs

His possessiveness would slip out when it comes to cooking, because he wants you to eat his cooking that’s why he would try his best to research the food in your world too, so he can make it for you!

He also gets lonely easily but because he’s usually busy doing a lot of things so he would wait for you to come back and I think he would put his jealousy as a push for his training, especially with Bastien XD sjjsjsj to further himself better but he can get hotheaded

Bastien

I feel like Bastien seems like the type who doesn’t really get jealous but I think he’s definitely the type who didn’t even realize he’s jealous until later when he figures out his feelings XD

He’s usually occupied with training and food but he’s certainly also the jealous type as seen in butler’s summer where his first reaction of seeing you in a swimsuit is that he’s worried for you like isn’t this too revealing- sjdjsjsjs

The moment Bastien realize he’s jealous, he would be like “Oh…so I’m feeling jealous. Arujisama, could you stay by my side more?”

Although during Home Screen line, he did say that he also feels strange seeing you talking with the other butlers and also he asked aruji if they prefer butlers who can speak well because he usually listens but doesn’t talk too much 😭

Haures

Now Haures he’s the one I think is the least jealous XD

The reason why I think that is because he views his fellow butlers as his precious family.

He seems to be the type who would put others above his own needs.

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get jealous 🤣 Aruji definitely takes up a huge place in his heart as seen in episode 2, he really cares about them deeply, but I think also like Boschi, Haures is also quite confident in himself too, he wouldn’t lose to other people, but at the same time he’s trying his best to improve his housework abilities because he knows that’s where he’s lacking, and he wants you to rely on him more (I think that’s his possessiveness right there) he wants to be the one to protect you at all times, and you always feel safe with him.

He would do whatever it takes for aruji.

Adding on to Haures, he really strives to be better with making food and drinks, you can really see him in a lot of card story during Christmas and his birthday, he really wants to cook for you and become better at it for you 🥹

Boschi

Boschi is definitely also part of the least? Jealous group, because he’s confident in his abilities, especially he’s so well eloquent in so many fields (the man is too good he cooks, he makes your drink, his design sense is amazing and he can protect you)

But his possessiveness definitely comes out during Valentine where he’s like “you’re also making other sweets for the other butlers right? I hope you’ll only give them to me next time.” SJSJSJ

And Boschi’s also like “you got me right? Don’t move your eyes away from me.”

And also for white day, he’s the only one who makes caramel latte (a drink) compare to the other butlers, because he wants to be the one who stands out to you, someone special to you.

He really cares about aruji, even to the point he wants to have your name carved in his metal arm (especially during first anni where they’re like what are you going to leave behind when you passed away, and Boschi said his metal arm 😭) he’s not afraid to have intimate interactions with Aruji, calling Aruji by name, wanting them to lay in his lap during flower viewing, he pretty much sees you as his partner already XD

Ammon

Ammon wow

Ammon is definitely part of the top jealous butlers 🤣 he seems like carefree about it but noooooo

HE’S SO JEALOUS

I remember one specific line I think it was a special limited line that you can unlock with the voice line but it doesn’t appear in the Home Screen anymore 😭 but it was like Ammon showing aruji a flower whose flower meaning is like “Popular person” and Ammon is like that’s you with the butlers~ he’s like I know we usually change flowers the moment you feel bored of it but sometimes the flower doesn’t wanna leave ya~ (he’s talking about himself)

I remember him saying it so seriously it got me shooked XD I was like Ammon????

His flower line was the most intense out of the other 12 butlers

Because he pretty much tells you even though you’re popular, he still gets very jealous so make sure not to leave his side sjjjsjsj I think I’m paraphrasing but

He also straight up admits that he’s a very jealous person too SJSJJ

The moment Ammon shares his pain with you, the moment he opens up, that’s where he shares his most vulnerable side and that’s only with you.

He trusts you deeply, and he usually is so distrustful of others. (He even wants to listen from outside your door when you first came to the palace but then he’s like nah~let’s not do that but he wanted to see if you have another face in a private setting)

He’s usually the type to hold other people’s weakness and hates revealing his weakness to other people, so if he really shows his weakness to you, that’s his possessiveness right there, everything about him he’ll give you, and he wants to know everything about you, your different sides, what you love, what you hate, your strengths and weaknesses and everything about you blooms in his eyes.

He really care about you just like him with his flowers. He would spend so much time caring for you, and he wants to change for you too, to become more reliable and strong.

(Ammon Flure Lamli 🤝🤝🤝)

He usually hides it like ~~~~

But he’s a really serious person who really thinks about his future with you since money is really important.

He’s not afraid to spend money on aruji even though he usually saves a lot XD

Fennesz

Fennesz wow uh

Also canonly heavy feelings 🤣

Binded by his low self esteem, he really wonders if he can be by your side, yet when he sees you with other people, he also feels jealous.

(This is going to be long 🤣)

And he’s also easy to read like a book too so he can’t really hide his jealousy, despite his smile.

In the Home Screen line, he can be bold, where when he’s asking if he can spend the time with you, and he’s like ah, but as a butler, maybe it’s not appropriate…then afterwards he’s like “…actually, My apologies, I want to spend time with you.” He can be bold like that and also in one of the homescreen lines he’s like “I want to know about Arujisama, the information others don’t have.” Because they all share the same info about aruji XD sjsjjs

The way he’s in charge of intimate roles like in charge of bath assist and massage (very intimate) I bet that’s where his possessiveness comes out and he wants to be super useful to you because he also feels scared he couldn’t be by your side as the main butler so he also said if there is anything that you are unsatisfied about me, please tell me and I’ll fix them right away!

And also he knows there are many capable butlers but he still wants to be by your side at all times and in second white day, he also gifts you a butterfly motif collar pin so you would be remind of him a lot.

During the first Valentine’s Day, he requests for a hand made butterfly necklace because he wants to have something that’s special from aruji.

Also in the first white day, he made matcha cupcake, which he wants to be different from what the others gifted too djdjjsjs so you can really tell his possessiveness. (Also in summer butler card he puts a jacket over aruji because he doesn’t want others to stare at aruji too sjdjjsj)

Lamli

Lamli is really straightforward about his feelings, if he feels jealous, he will tell you straight away, and even tries to drive the others away (like the nobles 🤣 and other people walking on the streets who are threats to aruji) he would show his possessiveness by holding hands together with aruji, hugging aruji, even tries to call aruji by name, he just wants to spend all of his time with you and want you to have lots of fun!

He wants to be the one who can make you smile the most.

When he loves, he fells hard and he would devote all of his love to you. He would remember all the good things you do for him and he would do whatever it takes to help you.

Lamli is definitely in the high range of jealousy level because you can see him out right having rivalry against other people 🤣

If you could pat him and only him he would be over the moon 🥹

If he sees you praising other people he would look at you with puppy eyes and be like what about me 🥺

Nac

Nac hngggg the man who’s like “Arujisama, do you mind a man with strong desires?”

Nac despite his calm looks, he’s bursting with praises for Arujisama, and he’s not afraid to compliment Aruji’s beauty.

He can really see the beauty in many things but Aruji especially, he can notice so many things that maybe others wouldn’t realize, because he’s got amazing sight XD he would have Aruji in his sight at all times, and especially for white worship, drunk Nac really wants to be with aruji, and during the butler now?

He covers you with his coat so you walk together while talking with him so he can be bold like this 😳 he gifts you a key necklace, where necklace are close to your heart.

He wants to be the key to your heart and the way his very first intro line in the official site is “don’t worry Arujisama, I’ll be walking along by your side when you face your future, I’ll shine a light in your way.” He’s just so caring in every way, you’ll depend on him so easily 🥺

He envies Lamli for being able to convey his feelings so straightforwardly 😭

Lucas

Lucas wow

He usually is like haha JK

But he’s not haha jk at all XDD

Lucas I feel like he’s mid high in the charts XD

Lucas “I want you to be dyed by my colours” Thompscie

Who gifts you nail polish and watch because he wants you to belong to him-

But his possessiveness is also secretive sjjsjs

During butler’s summer and yukata I think both Ammon and Lucas gifts love blessing related charms to aruji so he’s definitely interested in aruji romantically and his heavy feelings are shown during butler’s wedding and Home Screen line where he said I will love my partner until death do us apart.

He’s Aruji’s personal doctor, so he definitely knows more about Aruji’s body than other butlers—//slaps

With wonderland event, while Hanamaru Nac Lamli and Yuuhan are fighting, he’s the one who comes super close to Aruji, and also like Ai said during butler’s summer, he’s the strategist who immediately lets Aruji lie in his lap JSJSJ so he’s definitely the type who slowly takes over Aruji’s heart just like chess to checkmate jsjsjsjjs

He also admits, “when I see you with other butlers, my heart feels uneasy, it must have been jealousy, fufu.”

I don’t have this card but rose Valentine you were in a room together with Lucas and he wants to observe you and all your cute expressions JSJSJJ

Flure

Flure is also in the mid high range of jealous type XD sjjddw he would slip his jealousy out accidentally too and he would blush so hard and tries to change what he says but as he gets bolder I think he’ll admit it straight away (but still blushing hard) “Yeah…!! I am jealous…can’t I do that?”

Flure’s possessiveness definitely shows for the clothes he makes, he knows about Aruji’s preferences and what makes aruji shine and looks amazing.

Everything from top to bottom, Flure would coordinate for aruji, and you can see in every event, Flure, despite his busyness, will always make your clothes for you.

He enjoys making your outfit a lot and when he sees you wearing his masterpieces, it’s an accomplishment, and it also shows other people that he’s the only designer for aruji. 🥺

and that when you head out for events, he’ll always be by your side in the form of his clothes. Flure also says straight away he wants to be Aruji’s only butler and during rose Valentine he wanted to spend longer times with aruji.

When he sees others, he would be muttering “I wanted to do that too…” and for wine Valentine he carves the fruits into heart shape wanting aruji to eat them sjsjjsjs and ofc in wonderland he’s also disappointed Aruji found the gem to go home XD sjjsjs he feels super down not being able to see aruji when Aruji couldn’t come back because he had been waiting for Aruji all day

You can really tell Flure really cares about aruji when he himself is scared of dying but still puts his life over to save aruji telling them to run away in his initial butler story 😭 and then in second anniversary being the one to shoot the arrow to protect aruji he really works his hardest for aruji and he wants to be able to fight by himself to protect aruji

Lato

Lato the canon heavy feelings in the game~

But for some reason when he’s compared to Berrien he doesn’t seem that jealous anymore 🤣🤣🤣

Lato definitely had strong possessiveness over aruji, even telling Aruji he wants to tie Aruji to a chair or keeping Aruji in this world, but he knows he doesn’t want Aruji to feel restrain in this world because he himself doesn’t like to be restrained so he wouldn’t do that to Aruji but in honeymoon knights card, he wants to be with Aruji at all times, even after death, they’ll be together always.

He’s one of the butlers who confess to Aruji straight on, “Aruji is the only Aruji for him, and he couldn’t think of another person as his most precious person.”

He views Miyaji and Flure as his precious family so I don’t think he would be jealous of them but for other butlers, it’s a definitely yes XD sjjsjs he’s definitely the one who doesn’t want you to leave and go back to your world and if you were to die, he said he would be demonized again and there’ll be no one to stop him so he wants to meet you djdjdjdjd really heavy feelings for Aruji so he’s also one of the top jealousy butlers~

Miyaji

Miyaji is the surprising contender because I thought he would be at the very bottom of the jealousy charts but noooooo he’s just hiding his feelings that’s all XD sjjsjsj like the anklet he gave during White Day where he also admits his possessiveness is slipping out.

And also in episode 3, all he could think about is Aruji, Lato and Flure and he hears Aruji crying for him and it made him want to live.

Miyaji at the beginning didn’t want to live and sees himself as someone unworthy. But after meeting Aruji, he even considers marriage, wanting to marry Aruji, and also Aruji became his reason of living again, he’s afraid of being closer to Aruji because both sides would get hurt if he ever leaves, but he’s also like but at the same time I want to be closer with you…I wonder why is that.

And I remember one of the beginning Home Screen lines when you reach level 8 was that Miyaji said he wants to run away, will you come with him? And he’s like just kidding. HSJS you can really tell Miyaji really values Aruji and he probably didn’t realize he likes Aruji in a romantic way because he sees basement and Aruji as family but when it comes to Lucas, I remember he asked if Aruji prefers him or Lucas and if you say Lucas, Miyaji would be sad and be like why do you play with my feelings…

HE SAID HE NEVER CONSIDERED MARRIAGE UNTIL ARUJIW DJJDJS

BUT HE QUICKLY TAKES IT BACK WJDJJSJ

Teddy

Teddy seems like the chill doggo type but he’s quite jealous, maybe around the same level as Lono XD

Especially in star event, he sees Yuuhan holding hands together with aruji, and he keeps staring it was super obvious 🤣 and he’s really grateful to Aruji for saving him, so he definitely thinks that his life is for Aruji to have.

So far he doesn’t really show his true side but I think gradually he would show it to Aruji just like Ammon too but I think Teddy’s afraid of what Aruji might think because he couldn’t risk Aruji hating him because Aruji is his light and he thinks of Aruji as his “fated one” and when he starts to talk about things he only talks with his family to Aruji, you know he’s trusting Aruji more and more and he’s also

Bold, asking if Aruji could stay longer with him, holding his hands together, making coffee for Aruji, wanting to make Aruji smile all the time (which is why he and Lamli are both rivals XD) and you can see Teddy’s always the one who holds and carries Aruji in his arms (in the main story episode 3 and also in the secret garden one)

Yuuhan

Canonly he devoted all of himself to aruji, his body, his soul, his mind, his love, everything is aruji to have. Because it was aruji who saved his life. I can imagine him being in the same level as Berrien.

Both Berrien and Yuuhan if they break the butler rules and role, they’ll definitely be super bold to aruji XD

He wants to touch aruji coughs and he wants to be with aruji at all time, even lamenting how he couldn’t go to Aruji’s world to protect them.

The reason why I say he had heavy feelings because the first white day he had he gifted Aruji a plum flower hair pin, and in his culture, it’s pretty much a marriage proposal already XD

He doesn’t says it out loud, but he really implied in his actions skjdksj

He would watch over Hanamaru because he understands him probably XD

The way Hanamaru would get super close to aruji, he would make sure Hanamaru doesn’t do that XD

Despite he himself wants to do the same thing secretly

And Yuuhan, surprisingly said, I start to get scared of dying because I want to spend my life with you. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t put my life to protect you, I will do whatever it takes to protect you.

Ammon sees Yuuhan, Lucas, and Lamli as his main rivals XD

Hanamaru

At first I really thought he’s the non-jealous type but

So like at the beginning I find him refreshing because all the other butlers would be like “I see you talking with other butlers but I feel uneasy, ah, I apologize, please forget about it.” And with Hana, he’s like “Nah, I don’t get jealous, but if you miss me, feel free to come back~”

It was really funny XD jsjsjsj

But when you see his butler vol. 4 memory, you can really see his possessiveness slipping, you can say he’s like a overprotective father type where he would come into your room to see you sleeping peacefully before going out, and when you didn’t come back from your world, he worries what happened to you but when he imagined you talking happily with other guys in your world, he’s like I don’t really like that-

“COME BACK ARUJIIIII”

And for the second anniversary memory, he also asked Flure since he and aruji have matching outfit, can he sew Aruji’s name in his outfit XD sjjdjd and also like during night Home Screen lines, he would also worry he couldn’t go to Aruji’s world because he couldn’t protect Aruji in his arm’s reach. At first he really didn’t care about who Aruji really is, as long as they help him achieve his goal, but the more he get to know Aruji, the more he fell deeper, and he realize wow what a nice person, and he even joked that without Aruji in his life, it’s like a daifuku without red bean paste and he’s like wait but that’s a dango, ahaha, anyways, you get what I mean XD and in one of his Home Screen lines he’s also like “Arujisama, you shouldn’t make me jealous, because a man’s jealous is more scary than you thought~” so he definitely gets jealous and he’s afraid of being alone, which is why he tends to drink and go to bars, he even jokingly? Says he would cry when Aruji is away and he would drink to that (but he drinks when Aruji is here regardless just like Lucas 🤣) and the way he would always call Aruji by name the moment he gets the chance to really shows the other butlers like, hey, we’re close~

In one of his homescreen line he also regrets he couldn’t meet aruji earlier compare to the other butlers since they have a lot of memories with aruji, but he’s also like well, time to make up for lost time~

Beren

Beren is a warm, big brother type of person who gets along with everyone well and likes to take care of others.

He’s usually the type to get rely on, since he’s “the oldest” he gets responsibilities early on and he never complains.

Rather, he enjoys taking care of children, and often spoiling them. The “reliable big brother.”

Much like Haures, they’re the type where they would pretend to be alright and tries to hide any pain and tiredness from Arujisama.

When Beren finally wakes up, a lot of time has passed already, and I wonder if he would feel like he’s being left behind in the past.

He sees Arujisama as a precious family member, often wanting Arujisama to refer to him as Berennii instead, his closeness with Arujisama early on is exactly like if someone joins the orphanage and he’s making them feel welcome.

Beren would be the type to put other people above himself, but when he met Arujisama, it was the very first time he wishes to stay so strongly by someone’s side.

He would show his playfulness by saying “you should dream of me, Arujisama.” And when he sees Arujisama with other butlers, he would be like “it’s alright, as long as I can come bid you a good night at the end.”

When it comes to comforting and pampering, if the other butlers does it better than him, I’m sure this is where his possessiveness comes in. He wishes to be the one to do it to Arujisama, hoping Arujisama to stay by his side.

And as your level with him goes up, the more he reveals about his true feelings, he would say, “hm? Arujisama? Did you think I wasn’t the jealous type?” And he admits that he is. And since Beren always fights with “living his last days” in mind, one of his voice line was him asking if Arujisama would be lonely without him, since he knows that he would be fighting until his death, yet he still wishes to be with Arujisama longer, this year, the coming year, more and more.

A “dead man” such as himself wouldn’t consider to have a family, especially he also saw how much pain Goetia was in. But after meeting Arujisama, a fire of hope is set aflame inside Beren’s heart.

He was able to meet his family again, fighting with everyone, meeting his most important one again, and this time he wouldn’t let go of his happiness.

Would he be less jealous? Maybe not, considering he is someone who has felt he had lost too many time and people, maybe he even shares the same heavy feelings like Berrien as they are “mirror” to each other.

Perhaps he’s someone who hides his heavy feelings under the guise of “family”

And slowly, he would let Arujisama rely on him.

Especially when he lost his father and he had to take the lead to protect everyone and becoming the strongest 😭 the burdens he carried on his back but he never utters a complaint. While Berrien would be scared whenever Beren goes into battle, but Beren still says that, “if i did not go and fight the angels, who will?”

Much like Arujisama is to Berrien, the existence of devil butlers relieved Beren of the burden to fight alone, to be able to fight alongside with others, have a higher chance of living. He finally could relax and do his hobbies, bee keeping and making pizza, taking care of children, spending time more as himself, making friends and family with his peers, and perhaps getting married.

Shiro

Shiro is the type where he appears cold, but he’s a really soft person within.

Despite his words might seem short and to the point, it’s caring straight on. “Get some sleep.”, “Rest well.” It sounds like orders, because it might be something Shiro is used to (possibly he’s a commander or a prince), so he couldn’t understand the distance to interact with others.

But you can really tell Shiro has a really soft spot for Aruji, gifting a bracelet as thanks when Aruji saved him from bleeding.

He calls Arujisama as “His saviour” that he’s in debt to, and despite he’s not used to the butler role, he would make Arujisama’s bed really neat, sharing sweets when Arujisama comes near, wanting to see them smile.

As the levels go up, the closer you get with Shiro, it’s really funny how his jealousy line was him widening his eyes and him going “Hah?” Because to him, it really was a shocking revelation, but at the same time he’s tsun, so he wouldn’t admit it straight on that he’s jealous but he doesn’t like the fact you got taken away.

The way he “orders” Aruji not to smile in front of the other butlers, not to go to the other butlers, tells me that Shiro is actually really strong in terms of jealousy levels.

While he is very confident in himself, but he might think he cannot rival the bonds Aruji shared with the other butlers, how the other butlers can also make Aruji laugh and smile, how the other butlers also felt happy too, and Shiro wishes Aruji to only have him in his eyes only.

And the only way he can do this is by “ordering” Arujisama to stay by his side, to not go to the other world, kind of like a white cat who’s lying there blocking Arujisama’s way XD

I definitely think Aruji is the first person to make him feel this way, since he has never been concerned about other people other than his people.

And when it comes to spending the rest of his life with, he admits that Arujisama would be the one that he wants to stay with after everything had ended.

Also in another voice line, Shiro also wanted to draw Arujisama and the way he’s considering what kind of colours to use but there’s too much, really tells how Arujisama meant to him skjsksj

His world is the white canvas that got painted by Arujisama.

I added the last line XD he didn’t say this

Thank you for coming to my ted talk about jealous butlers and in conclusion, all of them are jealous as heck 🤣 even jealous of each other and jealous of people in Aruji’s world and jealous of everyone coming close

………

The wedding, which we had prepared alongside the butlers, came to a successful close.

At the request of the bride, Lady Melissa...

It seemed the clean-up would be put off for a little while longer.

"Until then, the Devil Butlers should stay at this mansion as well."

"...No, I want you to stay."

With the client's earnest wish, we ended up spending a few more days at the mansion just like that.

On a night when I found myself wide awake...

I went out into the mansion's garden for a stroll.

Berrien:.................

You:

(Is that... Berrien?)

(He seems a bit down...?)

Berrien: Oh... Master, good evening.

You: Berrien, good evening.

Berrien: What brings you out so late?

Even though it is June, the nights can still be a bit chilly.

Please take good care of yourself.

As Berrien notices me, a gentle smile forms on his face.

While thanking him for his concern...

My gaze is drawn to something he is holding.

You: Is that... a bookmark?

Berrien: Eh? ......Yes.

...Are you curious about this too, Master?

Exactly as you thought, it appears to be a bookmark.

It uses pressed black roses...

And by the looks of it, it seems to be handmade.

You: Where did you get that bookmark?

Berrien: Well... truth be told, I found it in the storage room while setting up the wedding venue.

I couldn't help but feel curious about it...

So I brought it out of the storage room and was gazing at it like this.

You: It looks like an antique, but it's beautiful.

Berrien: Yes......

Although there is some deterioration, you can tell it was crafted with great care.

Speaking with me, Berrien appears no different from his usual self.

Was it just my imagination that he seemed down moments ago?

You: What were you thinking about while holding that bookmark?

Berrien: Eh?

What was I thinking about, you ask...?

No... it is nothing worth mentioning, really.

It is just that the night is so quiet...

I was simply spacing out a little.

You: I see............ You don't have anything troubling you?

Berrien: Hmm, something troubling me...?

Ah, there is one thing...

I suppose it is less of a worry and more of... a bit of a predicament.

Lately, Lord Seldor has been chasing me down every day……

...No, he has been asking me questions.

He wants to know how to propose.

Lord Seldor is the client for this request...

And he is also the groom of the wedding.

Being incredibly shy, Lord Seldor...

Even now that the wedding is over, seems unable to properly convey his feelings to Lady Melissa once again.

Because of that, even after the ceremony...

It seems he has been seeking romantic advice from the butlers staying at the mansion.

Berrien: I have been answering him in my own way, but...

He tells me things like, "I don't feel the passion in it," or "It's not specific enough," so it hasn't been of much help to him.

That being said, since I have no real experience with proposals myself...

There is only so much I can do.

I spend my days racking my brain...

Wondering if there is any way I can be of assistance to him.

You: I see... That sounds tough.

Is there anything I can do to help solve Berrien’s predicament?

You: I'll help you too. Let's think of something together.

Berrien: No, no, please...

While I am grateful for the offer, I cannot trouble you with this, Master.

You: But you are in a tight spot, aren't you?

Berrien: That is...... true, but......

...Heh.

Looking at that face of yours... it seems you have no intention of backing down.

...I understand.

By all means, please lend me your help.

However, it is not my intention to cause you any headaches either, Master.

Therefore...

If you don't mind, would you be willing to evaluate my proposal?

You: Evaluate your proposal?

Berrien: Yes.

With you playing the role of my partner, I will perform a pseudo-proposal.

And I would like you to tell me your impressions of it.

I was troubled because no ideas for a proposal were coming to mind...

But when there is an actual partner in front of me, it is a different story.

I am sure I will be able to think much more concretely than before.

If it makes things easier for Berrien, then that's fine.

Thinking that, I give him my consent.

The flow leading up to the proposal is probably just as important as the proposal itself.

And so...

We decided to practice the entire sequence, from the date all the way to the proposal.

— The Next Day —

Dawn broke...

And we immediately headed into town for our date.

Berrien: Hehe...

I look forward to spending the day with you, Master.

Hmm...

Perhaps this title is a bit inappropriate?

Since we are partners today...

In order to better grasp the actual atmosphere...

I shall call you by your name, Y/n-san.

You: Yes, please do.

Perhaps it is because of the "partners" setting...

Or perhaps it is because the "pseudo-proposal" is waiting for us later...

But even though we are just walking side by side, I can't help but feel restless.

Berrien: To be Y/n-san's partner with marriage in mind...

It is truly an honor.

That being said.....

What kind of date do partners who are thinking about marriage actually have?

I wonder if there are parts that differ from a regular date after all?

You: Hmm, differing parts, huh...

Berrien: Yes, for example...

While walking, your imagination might start to expand toward the future.

When you think that a married life is waiting for you...

Naturally, your thoughts would be drawn in that direction.

You might start thinking about a life together with every single thing you see.

Like wanting to drink tea together from this cup...

Or thinking that your partner would love this piece of interior decor.

And as you share those imagined scenarios...

Wouldn't the desire to get married grow even stronger?

You: That's true... That might be the case.

Berrien: Hehe...

It seems like it would be difficult to suppress those buoyant feelings.

In my case...

I feel like that would continue even after marriage.

Not just on dates, but even when I go out alone...

I would probably end up buying souvenirs for my partner every single time.

I might get scolded someday for buying too much.

You: Hehe, you'll have to keep it in moderation.

Berrien: Yes. But as I have mentioned before...

I want to convey my feelings to my partner over and over again.

My gratitude for them being by my side...

And just how immense their presence is within me.

I want to tell them so many times that they might grow tired of hearing it.

For someone precious to wish to be with you...

...And to actually be able to be with that precious person.

That truly is... a miracle-like thing, after all.

“That is precisely why, as part of conveying my feelings... I feel like I would end up buying souvenirs.”

As Berrien smiles while saying this...

I sense the same faint shadow I felt last night.

Whether it is loneliness or sadness...

Within his gentle smile, it definitely bled through for a split second.

You:...Did something happen, by any chance?

Berrien: Eh...?

...Hehe, what brought that on so suddenly?

Ah, Y/n-san.

Shall we take a look at that shop over there?

It seems to deal in accessories and interior decor...

It's quite an eye-catching shop, isn't it?

I feel like he just dodged my question...

But I can't press him any further.

As suggested by Berrien, I decide to step inside the shop.

Episode 2

The inside of the shop was packed tightly with various items...

Yet, that cluttered atmosphere felt strangely comforting.

Amidst all this, Berrien’s gaze was drawn to...

A row of rings lined up on display.

Berrien:………

You: Are you interested in the rings?

Berrien: Ah, well...

I was just thinking that when it comes to a proposal, the ring plays a very important role.

My eyes just wandered over to them without realizing.

You: An engagement ring... That definitely feels like a proposal.

Berrien: Yes... it’s wonderful, isn't it?

To give an engagement ring, and for it to be accepted...

It is a promise to walk the same path in life together.

If that promise can take the physical shape of a ring...

I am sure that alone would become a great emotional support for the future.

It was exactly as Berrien said...

The presence of a ring might make the future shine even brighter.

Moreover, a ring gifted by someone precious...

Just holding onto it would remind you of them...

And it could even serve as a protective amulet.

While chatting about such things...

We continued to look around the shop.

Berrien: Hehe, look at this, Y/n-san.

What a lovely single-flower vase.

With such a small size, the types of flowers you could arrange in it might be limited, but...

Small wild flowers found while taking a stroll with your partner...

Could be displayed beautifully in this.

You: That would make taking strolls so much fun.

Berrien: Indeed.

It seems like it would color both of our hearts brightly.

Oh... is this a picture frame?

Hehe, the ornate design is beautiful.

If one were to purchase this frame...

We would have to find a nice painting to display inside it.

Under the pretext of searching for a wonderful painting...

We could plan our next outing together.

Discussing how we would use the things that caught our eyes...

This time spent sparking our imagination...

Was incredibly peaceful, bringing a wave of happiness.

Berrien: Hehe, this is delightful.

"Just holding onto it reminds you of the other person... and serves as a protective amulet."

It seems that doesn't apply only to engagement rings.

The things you looked at together, the items you bought together...

All of those things...

Will surely remind you of the time spent with your partner.

Each and every one of them.....

Will undoubtedly become an irreplaceable treasure.

..........

You:...Berrien...?

The expressions he showed from time to time...

Still felt somewhat different from the usual Berrien.

However... looking into his eyes as he gazed at me so gently and happily...

I quietly swallowed my questions.

— A little while later —

After leaving the shop, we continued to enjoy walking around the town.

Before we knew it, the sun began to set...

Feeling a twinge of reluctance to end the day, we returned to the mansion.

And, to mark the grand finale of our date...

We visited the Room of Vows.

(Footsteps echoing...)

Berrien: Hmm...

Coming here at night certainly gives it a distinct atmosphere.

Since there is no one else around but us, it feels even more tranquil.

As he spoke...

Berrien softly turned his gaze toward the altar.

His eyes looked somewhat serious...

Tinged with the same loneliness I had noticed a few times since last night.

Berrien:………

You: ...Did something happen after all?

Berrien: Eh...?

You: You’ve seemed a bit down since yesterday.

Berrien: That is......

...I am sorry.

It appears I wasn't able to hide it completely.

If I caused you to worry, I apologize.

You don't need to apologize...

If it's something you can share, I want you to talk to me.

When I said that...

After hesitating for a moment, Berrien pulled something out from his breast pocket.

You: Is that... yesterday’s bookmark?

Berrien: Yes, as I explained yesterday...

I discovered this in the storage room while setting up this venue.

Every time I look at this leaf, I find myself thinking about many things.

...Up until now, in this place...

How many people have had to make life-defining choices here...?

How many have been crushed by a future with no options...

And forced to exchange vows they did not desire...?

I know it is nothing more than uncalled-for meddling on my part, though.

You: Why would you think that...?

Is it... not just a normal bookmark?

Berrien: ...Last night, I only showed you the front side, but...

This bookmark has a special inscription on the back as well.

The name of a certain lady, and...

The name of a past lord of this house.

The two names...

Are written side by side, as if holding each other close.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I did a little research...

The wife of the lord written here turned out to be a different name.

You: That means......

Berrien:......"I must not make wild speculations."

Thinking that, I tried to banish it from my mind.

But no matter what...

Once the imagination took root, it wouldn't leave my head.

...Was it a love forbidden by social status, forcing them to part ways...?

I couldn't help but wonder.

Black roses carry meanings such as...

"Eternity" and "A love that will never perish."

Perhaps he infused those unforgettable feelings into this black rose bookmark...

And married another partner for the sake of his family.

...Or so I imagine.

My imagination might be a bit too vivid, though.

Berrien stared intently at me with a sorrowful look on his face.

Unable to find any words to say...

I recalled his somewhat lonely demeanor throughout the day.

Berrien:...Y/n-san, you are precious to me.

I am certain... I will never be able to forget you for the rest of my life.

The time we spent together, the scenery we looked at...

All of it......... will remind me of you.

With someone so deeply important to me...

How could I ever bear to be separated?

Even if our statuses differ and we are fated to never be together...

There is no way I could ever accept that destiny.

If it is for the sake of spending my life with you...

I would do absolutely anything.

…To say "Therefore,"...

I know it is a selfish wish.

But I want you, too...

To choose a future with me over anything else.

If you would do that for me...

I will make you happier than any other future ever could.

Berrien’s words were powerful...

Yet... I could also sense a hint of hesitation somewhere within them.

Surely, Berrien...

Is hesitating to change someone else's life for his own sake.

He has continued to sacrifice himself for so long...

Because he is just that kind, yet strict with himself.

As these thoughts crossed my mind...

Before I knew it, I was squeezing his hand tightly.

Berrien:...Y/n-san...?

You:...It’s okay, Berrien.

Berrien: Eh...?

You: Your "selfish wish"... let me hear more of it.

Berrien: That is......

...Hehe...

Thank you very much.

As Berrien said this...

He pulled a box from his pocket......... and then, produced a ring.

Berrien: This ring... won't you allow me to place it on your finger?

Our promise for the future...

Please, let it take a physical form.

And every time you look at this ring...

I want you to remember me.

Within his gentleness, I felt a powerful resolve...

Berrien’s eyes captured mine and wouldn't let go.

I simply nodded, slowly and deeply.

Berrien: Thank you... Well then......

By Berrien’s hand, the ring was slipped onto the ring finger of my left hand.

It happened in just a fleeting moment, yet it felt strangely long.

Berrien:...Hehe.

How was my proposal?

Going as far as preparing a ring...

For a pseudo-proposal, it might have been a bit too much.

You: But... it was incredibly wonderful.

Berrien: Thank you.

Hearing you say that relieves me.

Initially, I planned to go ahead without a ring, but...

I wanted to properly convey my feelings...

So I secretly purchased it during the day.

...The vow just now was strictly a pseudo-proposal...

However, there is absolutely no falsehood in the feelings I put into it.

You: Was all of it... your true feelings?

To my question, Berrien did not nod...

Instead, he simply smiled gently.

Berrien:...I give that ring to you, Master.

As a memory of the day we spent together...

I would be delighted if you would cherish it.

In the light radiating from the ring...

I recalled the exact moment it was slipped onto my ring finger earlier.

The memory, which could never be forgotten...

Black Rose Wedding.

“I want eternity”

…………

Part 1

The wedding, which we had prepared together with the butlers, concluded without incident.

At the request of the bride, Lady Melissa...

The cleanup will apparently take a little longer.

"Until then, the demon butler may stay at this mansion."

"...No, I would like you to stay." At the client's earnest request, we ended up spending several more days at the mansion.

Incidentally, the very shy Lord Seldore...

Even now, after the wedding, he still hasn't been able to express his feelings to Lady Melissa.

Therefore, even after the ceremony...

He seemed to be seeking love advice from the butlers staying at the mansion.

Then, one day...

I spotted Teddy muttering something with a troubled expression.

Teddy: Hmm.

What other advice should I give...?

You: Teddy, what's wrong?

Teddy: Oh... Master?

I'm sorry I didn't notice you sooner. I was just...

I was engrossed in my thoughts.

You: Could it be about Lord Seldore?

Teddy: ...Yes, that's right.

I understand how Lord Seldore feels about wanting to express his feelings to someone important to him.

I try to offer advice as much as I can, but...

I've never actually proposed myself, and...

I can't really give him anything clear.

You: I see...

It seems Teddy...

It appears that because he has no experience proposing, he lacks confidence as an advisor…

If it's causing him so much worry...

Why not just actually propose... and gain some confidence?

You: ...Hey, Teddy

Teddy: Yes. What is it?

I suggested to Teddy...

I suggested we try a "mock marriage proposal."

Teddy: Huh...!

Th-that's...

The plan is to propose to you, Master, and gain confidence, right?

You: That's right.

Teddy: That's... It's like using you as a practice dummy for a marriage proposal.

No, I can’t!

You: It's just a "mock-up," after all.

Teddy: Well, even if you say that...

...But maybe I should think of it as something like a "mock battle"...?

Uh, hmm...

Teddy looked down and thought for a while

but...

Eventually, he looked up as if he had made up his mind.

Teddy: ...I understand.

As you said, Master...I'll try a mock proposal.

I don't want to disregard your kindness, Master.

...Okay!

Now that I've decided...

I... I'll propose to you with all my might, Master.

So... Please look forward to it, my lord.

It's not like I'm proposing marriage...

It's not meant in that way, though...

It's just to show how important you are to me, my lord….

I'll tell you straight away!

Teddy's eyes, as he gazed at me...

They were somehow strong and reassuring.

And so, in a way that resembled a marriage proposal, Teddy...

expressed his feelings to me.

-That afternoon-

I was with Teddy...

We had come out to town for a visit.

Teddy: Master. Thank you for keeping me company.

You: I'm happy we could go out together.

Teddy: Is that so...? I'm relieved to hear you say that.

The proposal itself isn't today...

I'm planning to do it tomorrow in the "Vow Room"...

But before that... I really wanted to go out with you, Master.

I think the events right before a proposal leave a strong impression...

I wanted to create some wonderful memories with you today.

You: I see...

From what I've heard, Teddy wants to spend time with me...

as if we were "a couple about to get married."

It seems that way.

The fact that he's even planning his actions for the day before...

He must have a very solid plan regarding the proposal.

You: That's a well-thought-out proposal.

Teddy: "Well-thought-out," you say...?

Hearing that, it sounds like some kind of strategy.

But, to the point where it could be called a "strategy"...

It's true that I have a clear direction.

As for how I'm going to express my feelings tomorrow...

I've pretty much decided.

You: I see.

Teddy: Yes, but...The details are still a secret.

What I'm going to talk about...

Please look forward to it until tomorrow!

Heh heh.

Well then, shall we move on now?

...My lord.

No... (Name), please take my hand.

I want you to enjoy today...

I will escort you carefully.

Let's make lots of memories...

Let's make today a special day.

You: Yes, it's a pleasure.

I placed my hand on the outstretched hand...

We began to walk.

...The sunlight was gentle, and the sky was blue.

It looked like it would be a wonderful day.

-after a while-

As we were sightseeing in the town...

Eventually, we arrived at a large rose garden.

Many roses were in bloom, undeterred by the sunlight...

The grove of black rose bushes was particularly magnificent.

Teddy: Heh heh. It's overwhelming when there are so many in bloom.

It's not just beautiful... I feel a kind of awe.

You: Yeah...

Teddy: Yes, but...

There are also many buds, and they're blooming very vigorously, aren't they?

The language of black roses is "eternity," "you are mine"...

And apparently, it also means "love that will never perish"...

Seeing them like this, blooming so vigorously for so long...

It seems to fit the image of "eternity" perfectly.

Well, the meaning of black roses is...

It seems to convey a sense of possessiveness*, and the idea that it "fits the flower's meaning".

(*note: I consulted two different translation apps, one translated the meaning of the flower as "possessiveness" but the other translated it as "strong attachment." Even though they have more or less the same meaning, I left the "possessiveness" because, you know, it's more fun😆)

Is….It might not be a compliment, though.

You: "Eternal" possessiveness, huh...

It certainly might sound bad...

If we include other meanings besides "eternity"... we could interpret it differently.

You: Does it also mean deep love?

Teddy: Huh...?

You: Perhaps the deeper is the possessiveness, the more is the love.

Teddy: I see...

That's a positive and wonderful way of looking at it!

Um, well then... I have a question for you...

What do you think of people with a strong possessiveness, (Name)…?

You: Uhm…

Having a strong possessiveness means...

It also means being so dedicated and able to continue facing one thing.

If that possessiveness is linked to a person's seriousness and diligence...

It can leave a good impression.

You: …this is what I think.

Teddy: Oh, I see. Then...

From (Name)’s perspective...

Am I a very possessive person...?

You: I think so, in a good way.

Teddy has a strong desire for self-improvement...

He's always working hard towards his goals.

That's Teddy.

In a good way, you could say he's a person with strong possessiveness.

Teddy: I see...

…Hehe. I'm happy.

If (Name) says so... I…

I'll have more confidence in my own possessiveness!

You: T-Teddy...?

Teddy laughs...

He tightens his grip on my hand, which is still clasped.

His smile was bright and refreshing, but...

The hand she held tightly showed no sign of letting go.

Part 2

-the next day-

Finally, the day of the proposal arrived...

We arrived at the "Vow Room."

Teddy:: *Sigh* Even though I've grown accustomed to this place... Coming here formally like this...

I feel kind of nervous. But...

I'm sure (Name) is even more nervous than I am.

But... I would be so happy if you would stay with me until the end.

You:: Of course.

Teddy: ...Thank you.

So then... To accurately convey my feelings...

First, let me tell you a story from the past.

Teddy smiled quietly...

And began to speak in a calm tone.

Teddy: As (Name) already knows...

I once had a twin brother.

It was before we were big enough to grow up, so that's part of it...

We really looked alike back then...

But...

Our personalities were completely different.

Unlike me, who was twisted and rebellious...

My brother was cheerful and kind...

He was popular with everyone...

Meanwhile, I was hated even by my parents.

That's why...

One day, after my brother died protecting me from an angel...

I, the hated one...

To survive, I started living as my brother.

The impersonation worked really well...

My parents and acquaintances believed without a doubt that I was my brother...

The people around me...

They started treating me kindly.

And then...

That's when I realized something.

Even though my brother and I looked so alike...

If the treatment is so different...

A person's true nature is...

Not their appearance, but what's inside.

You: Teddy...

Teddy smiled reassuringly at me...

He continued speaking with a serious look in his eyes.

Teddy: As I just said...

The essence of a person lies in their inner self, but that inner self is very ambiguous.

No one can truly understand someone else's true self...

And you can't even know the true feelings of the person next to you.

But...

I can say this with confidence.

My important person...

(Name) is a very warm-hearted... wonderful person.

Someone who can rejoice and grieve with others...

Someone who can help each other... a kind person.

And I...

Because (Name) is like that...

I want to continue being with you.

You: You say that much about me?

Teddy: Heh heh... Yes!

Perhaps (Name) themself...

They might think they are not that kind of person...

At least to me...

(Name) is a truly wonderful person.

Looking straight at me...

Teddy continued speaking, his eyes shining as if something wonderful was before him.

Teddy: And that's precisely why...

My feelings are already made up.

People and circumstances change with time, but...

I want to be the one to support (Name) the closest...

I want to be that person.

As long as they are alive...

If they experience both joy and sorrow...

I want to share those feelings...

I...

I sincerely wish for that.

(Name), Please.

Will you give me the right to be by your side forever...?

Please, give it to me...

Give me something that will never change.

In Teddy's eyes, as he gazed intently at me...

Both resolve and anxiety were evident.

That must be because...

The words he spoke came from his heart.

To him...

I, too, replied with honest words.

You: Let's stay together forever, unchanged.

Teddy: (Name)…Thank you.

You'll accept my feelings, won't you?

Heh heh...

"Let's stay together forever, unchanged," huh...

...May I thank you for those words now?

You: Thank me…?

Teddy: Yes.

I need to prepare something... so please close your eyes until I say it's okay.

You: Uh, yeah...

Though confused...

I closed my eyes as he told me to.

All I could hear was Teddy's footsteps moving away and

footsteps approaching me.

Teddy: ...Sorry to keep you waiting!

(Name), please open your eyes.

When I opened my eyes...

Teddy was kneeling and took one of my hands.

Teddy: I did it...

It looks like the surprise was a success!

Hehe, I'm so happy. I can finally say these words to you.

You: "These words"...?

Teddy: ...Yes. There's something I've decided to tell you

Thank you for giving me the right to be by your side forever.

Something that will never change... Thank you.

I've always... I wanted "eternity."

Teddy looked up at me, looking very happy,

and his smile was very bright and gentle.

But our clasped hands were tightly gripping...

I could definitely feel his determination not to let go.

As I took the bouquet and stood up...

Teddy finally let go.

Teddy: Heh heh...

I think I might have put a little too much effort into this mock proposal...

But...

I'm glad I could give it to you like this.

(Name), you look so lovely holding the bouquet in both hands...

Just seeing this scene made it worthwhile.

You: Thank you for the beautiful bouquet.

Teddy: You're welcome!

I was happy that you accepted it.

The language of black roses is...

"Eternity" and "Love that will never perish"...

Heh heh.

It's a word that somehow conveys a sense of possessiveness...

That's precisely why...

It's perfect for a gift from me, isn't it?

(Name),

Please continue to be kind to me, even though I'm like this.

To me, holding a jet-black rose...

Teddy smiles brightly at me.

Teddy's bright, gentle smile, and the black rose...

To me, both seemed beautiful.

-next morning-

I happened to step out into the garden...

There I saw Teddy hanging out the laundry.

On this bright, sunny morning, surrounded by white sheets, he looked somehow refreshing.

Teddy: Oh, Master!

Good morning.

You: Good morning, sorry for interrupting your work.

Teddy: Not at all!

I'm actually lucky to be able to talk to you, Master.

Besides, I've gotten used to hanging out the laundry in this mansion...

You: I see.

Teddy: Yes.

We do our own laundry to some extent.

However, on windy days like today...

It's a bit difficult to hang them out to dry.

As we were having that conversation...

A strong gust of wind blew, and the clothesline swayed violently.

Teddy: ...Whoa!

Teddy instinctively knelt down on one knee...

And caught the towel that was slipping.

Teddy: Phew, that was close...

You: That's some impressive reflexes.

Teddy: Hehe... Thank you!

I extended my hand to Teddy, who was still kneeling.

As he hesitantly took my hand...

Suddenly, the image of him from yesterday came back to me.

After yesterday's proposal...

This is him when he gave me the bouquet.

Teddy: ...Huh?

Master, what's wrong?

You: I was thinking about yesterday.

Teddy: Yesterday, you say...

...Ah!

You mean when I gave you the bouquet!

That's good...

I'm glad it made an impression on you.

That bouquet...

It's filled with all my feelings.

Teddy smiled happily...

He took my hand and stood up.

Teddy: Hmm, but...

If I was going to express my feelings in a way like a proposal...

Maybe I should have done the ring box trick too.

You: The bouquet you gave me yesterday made me very happy.

Teddy: Hehe. Really?

But when I express my feelings again someday...

I'd like to give you a ring next time.

You: "Next time"...?

Teddy: Yes! Proposing isn't something you can do many times...

But expressing your feelings like a proposal...

Can be done many times.

The reason I told you how I feel this time was...

It was because of a consultation with Seldor...

But from now on, I'm thinking of creating more opportunities myself. Like yesterday.

So, if you don't mind, Master...

I'd be happy if you could give me another chance like yesterday.

Yesterday, my master gave me...

"the right to always be by your side."

And again and again... Please let me repay that!

My gratitude for the happiness of being by my master's side is…

It's simply not enough to express my thanks in just one go.

Even as he spoke, Teddy...

He never let go of my hand, which he had grasped when I stood up. His clasped hand, his voice, his smile...

Everything about it was so warm, and I felt certain that no matter what happened in the future...

He would always be by my side.

End.

I'm not a Teddy fan but this card was so cute🥺
