Zuli [PART 1] - Reapers & Angels

Chapter 3 - Phantomhive Hospitality

ALMOST THREE YEARS LATER... Knock knock

Ciel (12): "Come in."

Zuli (16): "Good morning, baby brother."

Sebastian was tying his tie and I sat on his bed next to him, putting my arm around him with a smile.

Ciel: "You're in a chipper mood this morning."

Zuli: "We have a special guest coming for dinner, isn't that right?"

Sebastian: "Yes. Mr Damiano of the Poseidon Company."

Ciel: "Is he the man I have in charge of stuffed animals at the factory in India?"

Sebastian: "Yes."

Ciel: "And you're happy..."

Zuli: "Why wouldn't I be?"

Sebastian: "I'm told he's Italian. We will, of course, offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide."

Zuli: "We Phantomhives are known well for our hospitality towards guests. I'm excited is all. I'll wait for you at the dining table."

I kissed my brother's head and left.

Finni: "Morning, Miss Zuli!"

Mey-Rin: "Did you sleep well?"

Bard: "I hope you're hungry."

Tanaka: "Ho ho."

I smiled as the servants greeted me with bright faces.

Zuli: "Good morning, my hearts."

I care deeply about our servants and treat them as family. Speaking of them, I thought of something as I sat at the table.

Zuli: "Have you three done your chores today? I hope so, or Sebastian will yell at you."

Finni, Bard & Mey-Rin: "Uh..."

At that moment, Sebastian and Ciel came in.

Sebastian: "There you are."

Finni, Bard & Mey-Rin: "AH!"

Ciel came and sat next to me.

Sebastian: "Have you finished weeding the courtyard, Finni?"

Finni: "Uh-"

Sebastian: "Mey-Rin... have you washed all the bedding?"

Mey-Rin: "Uhm, well..."

Sebastian: "Bardroy... shouldn't you be preparing for tonight's dinner?"

Bard: "Heh..."

Sebastian: "Tanaka..."

He just happily sipped his tea.

Sebastian: "Well, I suppose you're all right as you are."

Tanaka: "Heh heh heh."

Sebastian: "Now, the rest of you... we have no time for thumb twiddling this morning... So get to work!"

The three of them ran out, terrified of what Sebastian's like when he's gets mad.

Mey-Rin: "Yes, sir!"

Zuli: "I told them..."

Ciel: "Hm..."

Later...
