"Well then, we should probably get started on cleaning up the garden." "It's a huge mess." "Our photographic garden is in ruins..... I'm so sad." Cater uttered in a sad tone. "I'll help you out." "Trey-senpai, I think it would be better if you assist riddle to the school's infirmary. We got this!" I said in full enthusiasm.

'that's what I said earlier, but it's harder than I thought!!! There were too many branches and trees pulled out from the ground'
"Munnya...... I'm tired, I want tuna...." "We'll be done soon grim. Just a little more." "Cater's have it way too easy." Ace uttered. 'seriously? Why don't you start moving and pick up all those stick branches?'
A scowl made it's way to my face, as I continued cleaning up. My magic has been drained after using the exact amount I only need to use in daily things. The ring changed its color to orange. "Ciel! We're done in this part! Where should we throw these?" I hurried to the three. "Well, it could be use as woods to the fireplace. I'll take it." "Are you sure? There's many of these." Cater uttered, troubled. There's still some things needed to be done for the garden to be cleaned.
"I'll help out!" Deuce suddenly raised his hand. "Well then, let's go." I turned around to face cater. "We'll be back soon. Grim, stay here and help them for the time being." I uttered calmly. Picking up the sack full of branches.

"Ciel....." "Hm?" "Do you still.... Uh, want to go back where you came from? I mean, it's not like I'm stopping you or anything....." Deuce voice died down, and somewhat, the way he spoke, it was as if he's disappointed or sad.
"I don't know. Maybe, a part of me......... But I won't be able to if I want to, I'll die soon anyways......" Ciel whispered the last part under his breath. "Did you say something?" "No, nothing! Don't worry! Let's go." "Right."
Ciel stopped mid way, seeing a shadow figure by the corner. But then shrugged it off, catching up to deuce who's by the gate waiting up for him.
"Found you, Athanas..... My little brother."

Today was the unbirthday party. The trees the garden was in good condition, unlike that day. It was really tiring. Cleaning all up like that.
A horn was blown. A student from the heartslabyul dorm presented the dorm head along with the vice dorm head. The dorm residents shouted in unison "Dorm head riddle! Hip hip hooray!" Somewhere those lines.
"Uuuggh. In the end we had to handle getting the garden cleaned up and all the prep work." Ace uttered in his tired tone of voice. "Calm down. Dorm head being back after a full recovery is the most important." Deuce reassured ace. "Hmmmmn, this pudding is really delicious...." Ciel smiled in delight, enjoying his handmade pudding in hand. "When did you cook that?" "Just an hour ago, before I went my way here. I also saw riddle preparing the tart he made." Ciel uttered as he completely ate the last piece.
