That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Ceasar

Abruptly, the Bizarre Dolls barge in, breaking through the windows. Aleister offers to activate the device if Ciel, Alois and ________ call him 'Caesar' with their lovely little mouths. Ciel suddenly changes his mind and tells Sebastian to kill him right now and it's the butler's turn to tell him to wait although he understands his feelings.

As they all battle against the Bizarre Dolls, Aleister says he is just watching from above whilst enjoying his wine, similar to Emperor Nero. Ronald overhears him and gets irritated, prompting to kill him and Grelle snaps that it was Ronald who stopped her earlier from killing the Viscount. She then curtly yells at Aleister to make the device work. The Viscount asks them all to pledge their loyalty and they reluctantly recite his version of the Aurora Society's greeting and pose Aleister adapted form of the Phoenix, with one hand behind the hand while the other is stretched from the body.

Aleister, pleased, presses a button on the device only to discover that it does not work. Ciel is appalled to realize that it was not Aleister who built it. The latter points out that he cannot build something like this and he only decided to borrow it.

Rian seems to shout to Aleister that he has fooled him. Grelle demeans them as a useless farce and kills several bizarre dolls, impressing Ronald. She continues forward to Aleister, with an intention to murder him. Ronald quickly yells that they're not allowed to kill humans. However before Grelle is able to land a blow, Undertaker covers the Viscount, with one hand stopping the Death Scythe, shocking everyone except ______ of course.

The Undertaker says it has been a while since he laughed so much and to lose such an amusing man, that is Aleister, it would be equivalent to the pain of losing the whole punchline. He asks if Grelle agrees, addressing her as the Grim Reaper that they are...

"Woooow I'm sooo shoocked..." ________ mutters sarcastically, rolling their eyes.

Ciel's eyes widen in surprise as he watches Undertaker intervene, effectively stopping Grelle's attack. The tension in the room is palpable as everyone, including __________, processes the unexpected turn of events. Ciel's mind races, trying to piece together the implications of Undertaker's actions.

Undertaker chuckles softly, his eyes glimmering with amusement. "My, my, my, isn't this a delightful turn of events?" he remarks, his voice filled with a playful tone. "To think that I would be the one to save Aleister from such a dramatic demise. Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn't it?"

Ciel narrows his eyes, his voice laced with suspicion. "Undertaker, what is your game in all of this?" he questions, his tone icy and sharp.

"Yeah what's the big deal, oh laughable one?"

Ciel's eyes flicker with a mix of surprise and suspicion as he watches the unexpected intervention of the Undertaker. __________'s sarcastic remark earns a small smirk from Ciel, their dry humor a momentary distraction from the tense situation unfolding before them.

Undertaker's gaze shifts to __________, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. "Oh, little ______, your sarcasm is quite charming," he says in a sing-song voice, a wide grin spreading across his face. "But do be careful, for sarcasm can be quite dangerous in the presence of amusements like me."

Undertaker's presence in this chaotic scenario raises countless questions in Ciel's mind. He knows better than to fully trust the enigmatic mortician, understanding that his actions are often shrouded in mystery and his motives difficult to discern. Yet, there is a certain fascination that lingers in Ciel's gaze as he watches Undertaker protect Aleister from Grelle's deadly strike.

Ciel, still recovering from the shock of Undertaker's surprise intervention, narrows his eyes at the mortician. "Undertaker answer me, explain yourself. What is your goal?"

"That's a story for another laugh little lord.."

Grelle is bewildered to acknowledge that her Death Scythe cannot cut him and jumps back as Undertaker whirls around, revealing his weapons, sotoba, underneath his cloak. He throws his sotoba at Grelle which she blocks with her Death Scythe. The sotoba also penetrates to the glass ceiling above her, showering down shattered pieces of glass so Sebastian protects Ciel and ___________ while Claude does the same for Alois. Undertaker murmurs how sad it is if laughter is to disappear, raising his bangs to reveal his eyes for the first time.

Ciel and Alois are shocked with the Undertaker while Sebastian, Claude and Grelle agree that since the Undertaker has usually kept his eyes hidden, they could not tell who he is but now there is no mistaking the greenish-yellow eyes; he is still a bonafide Grim Reaper. The Undertaker feels nostalgic, saying that he has not been called that for at least a half a century. Rian interrupts by running over and demanding why the device has no power over the bizarre dolls and asks if it was all a deception, revealing that he has directed the same question earlier to the Undertaker and not Aleister.

The Undertaker indifferently says that Rian was the perfect person for his purpose since he believed the revival of the dead is possible. It was Rian's own separate goal to make the entire world healthy and it was not the Undertaker's intention himself. He remarks that since Rian relied on his skills, the Absolute Salvation is invalid to be called a medicine and Rian is no longer a doctor to use such a treatment he doesn't grasp the meaning of on his patients.

Rian is stunned and falls to his knees and the Undertaker pats his head, soothing that he was a good boy for honestly believing his story.

When Ciel interrogates him, the Undertaker reveals that he is the mastermind behind the Aurora Society's resurrection experiments and is responsible for making the corpses move. The preliminary reason was his curiosity towards humans. He describes humans as 'a flesh body' and 'a soul'. If you combine these two together, one can exist amongst the living and keep on documenting their life memories in the 'cinematic record'. And when the flesh body withers and the Grim Reapers collect their souls, the record ends there and the living become the dead. Consequently, the Grim Reapers take the soul from the body according to the list, causing an end of the ever-changing kaleidoscope, which is demonstrated by a pair of scissors snipping off the cinematic record where it should terminate.

He eventually grew tired of the same process that went on for a long time and one day, an idea came across where he was intrigued by the concept of what would happen to the flesh body if you were to connect a continuation to the memories that had come to an end without the soul. After all, the Grim Reaper only hunts the souls when the body and the brain are what that retains the memories left in this world. Grelle asks if he edited the cinematic records and Undertaker suggests that she inspect the moving corpses' records with her own abilities.

Grelle does so, slicing one with her Death Scythe, to see two split Cinematic Records of when they were living and when they continued moving when they are dead. And right after the mark of the "end" at the end of the cinematic record, the Undertaker appears in it with an apparent mustache and a cane. For the rest of the record, it is just the Undertaker making random, goofy poses. Sebastian, Claude and Grelle are appalled by the contents with the latter showing more exasperation.

Ciel and Alois who cannot see the records, ask what is going on. Undertaker informs that the end mark of the cinematic record arrives along with every death but by adding fake records to them, he made it so that the end would never come. Somehow, the body mistakenly believes that life is still continuing and starts moving again without a soul. All living beings instinctively try to fill up whatever they lack, for instance if your body gets wounded, it will eventually close and heal, and if the spirit feels forlorn and lonely, one will seek others in order to fill the emptiness.

That is why the bizarre dolls also instinctively seek what they lack. In order to find a 'soul', they will try to open up the bodies of the living in order to settle the balance of the never-ending cinematic record. Ciel concludes that that is the reason as the bizarre dolls pursued after their souls even though they have no hearing or sight.

Undertaker comments that it is impossible for them to claim another soul's as theirs though. He can tamper with the records, but it is beyond his powers to create a soul. He has done numerous experiments but most of them never ameliorated from flesh dolls without a soul. That is why he calls them not living and not dead but rather "bizarre dolls"

"Fucken delulu aah-" _________ mutters angrily, clearly unhappy with the Undertaker..
