Black Butler X (Malleus) Reader

Chapter 48

-3rd POV-

"Was thinking it'd be something special if you asked me to come here, but...It's about Derrick Arden again, huh." Edward said, practicing his swings, "I didn't think you were the type to be so concerned about other people."

"It's just that I can't understand. The dorms are so hostile towards each other, so for someone to transfer seems strange." Ciel said.

"You may say that, but...It wasn't just Derrick Arden that was transferred."

"What?!"

"I don't know much about the other dorms. But I'm pretty sure that some other students from red house were transferred to purple house at the same time."

"What are their names?!"

"I just said I don't know much about them! Like I know!"

"Why were they all transferred at once? Did they cause some sort of trouble..."

"I haven't heard of anything like that, but...the principal decided on it."

"...I see." He muttered.

So even Edward is like that.

He turned to walk off, "I'm sorry got the trouble. Thanks."

"Ciel!" The blond called out, grabbing his hand, "What did you come to this school for? Could it be...as the guard dog..."

His eye widen, "It's none of your concern." He pulled his hand, "See you." He walked off.

"Yeah. Greenson, Hardy, Isaac and Thewlis? They should have transferred to purple house about half a year ago." McMillian said.

'I should have just asked him in the first place.' The earl thought, deadpanning a bit.

"Say, why do you care so much about the other dormitories?"

"Why don't you care about them?"

"Huh? Well the principal decided on it you know?"

Even he's full of the principal.

"Didn't they just do it to make the numbers even?" Ciel questioned.

"Purple house has lots of weird people so apparently they drop out a lot too. But moreover! What did you talk about with the P4?!"

Other students joined in, wanting to know.

"Me too!"

"Ah, I want to know too!"

The earl stood up from his seat, "Sorry. I have to do something for Bluewer. I'll tell you about it some other time."

"Work hard!" McMillian waved.

'I can't become friends with them.'

"Um, there's something I'd like to ask." Ciel said.

"Ah, it's the first year that managed to enter the P4 group."

"Derrick Arden? I do believe he was a really fast runner or something."

"Isn't Derrick Arden the expert dancer?"

"Ah, Derrick Arden, I've heard he won a prize for his artworks."

"Hmm Derrick Arden...I think he was that guy famous for his manuscripts?"

Different students said.

"So? Why did he get transferred?"

"Who knows? The principal decided on it, didn't he?"
