Shiramitsu Toi Card Story: My Very Own Butler
Chapter 1
[Int: Shiramitsus' & Netaro's room, night]Toi: The live-action Kaleidoscope of the Black Swan[1] drama... is so cool...
Ryui: S'about servants, huh...
Toi: (If Ani-sama was a butler, he would be so cool...)
Ryui: Toi.
Toi: Hm? Is something the matter?
Ryui: Is there something you want to ask me?
Toi: Ah--? Did I accidentally say that out loud...?
Ryui: I know without you having to say anything, I can see it on your face.
Toi: Ehehe. You guessed right. Um, I was just thinking, that if you were a butler, Ani-sama... you'd be really cool.
Toi: Hey, Ani-sama. Do you think maybe, just for one day, you could be my butler?
Ryui: Of course, not just for one day, I'd be your butler or anything else you wanted me to be, until the end of time.
Toi: Really!? Yay♪! I'm so happy! Thank you!
Ryui: Come on, it's time for good boys to go to bed. If you want to enjoy tomorrow to the fullest, you'd better go to bed early.
Toi: 'Kay~! Goodnight, anisama.
Toi: (Ani-sama as a butler... would be the coolest thing ever... I want tomorrow to come sooner.)
[Int: Shiramitsus' & Netaro's room, morning]
Ryui: ...i. Toi-sama.
Toi: Mmmn...
Toi: (I can hear Ani-sama's gentle voice...)
Ryui: Toi-sama, it is time to wake up.
Toi: Good morning, Ani-sam--
Ryui: [with ikemen sparkles] A good morning to you, Toi-sama.
Toi: Ah-- wah...!
Toi: (Ani-sama is so cool...! He's the perfect butler, just like in Kaleidoscope of the Black Swan!)
Ryui: As the first order of business, you should get dressed. If you'll pardon the presumption, if you need, then I can help you to--
Toi: W-wah!! A CG-worthy event[2] first thing in the morning! I'm going to have to burn this into the album in my heart!! [Rushing offscreen to change]
Toi: [Now in default outfit] Phew... is this alright?
Ryui: Yes. Even the gods would see fit to go mad with jealousy.
Toi: Ani-sama...!
Ryui: I'm your butler, so please feel free to give me any order you wish.
Toi: O-orders!? For me to ask such a thing of Ani-sama...
Ryui: No need to be shy. Go ahead.
Toi: Um... then, can I have a good-morning hug?
Ryui: You're so cute, Toi. That's no imposition at all. [Moves close to Toi to hug him]
Toi: Ehehe, I'm so happy, first thing in the morning...
[1] I feel like this is probably a reference to a drama, and going by how many Legally Distinct Parodies they tend to make in 18Trip, I bet it is, but I am not familiar with it. I'll edit this if I figure it out.
[2] As in a CG or illustration moment in an otome game. Yes, seriously.
Chapter 2
[Int: HAMA House Dining Hall, morning]
Toi: Huh? Breakfast is already ready...!?
Ryui: Of course. Today I have prepared French toast for you.
Toi: W-wah!! There's so much syrup, it looks so yummy~!
Ryui: Here, say 'ah'.
Toi: Aaah...
Toi: (It's a little embarrassing to do this in a common area with everyone around... but...)
Toi: Aaah. ... chew, chew...
Ryui: Is it to your liking?
Toi: Mmhmh! It's super yummy!
Ryui: I'm glad to hear that.
Daniel: Yawn.. ... ah? ... what on earth are those two doing.
Netaro: Those two are playin' butler~. When I said I wanted to join in, Ryui threatened to knock my lights out.
Yodaka: Fufu. It's an adorable sight, it warms the heart.
Daniel: Yeah, it's so sweet that I feel like I'm gonna hurl... I'm outta here.
Toi: Phew, I'm so full~ ♪
Ryui: I'm glad that you're satisfied.
Ryui: Ah... but one more thing.
Toi: (What's the matter?)
Ryui: Your hair is a bit messy; let me brush it for you.
Toi: (Having my hair brushed by Ani-sama feels so nice...)
Ryui: There. Now you're even cuter.
Toi: Really?
Ryui: Yes. If there's anyone out there who doesn't appreciate your cuteness, I'll kill them myself. Luckily, I don't think anyone so stupid exists.
Ryui: Now, let's go back to our room. How about we watch the rest of that drama you wanted to see together?
Toi: Ani-sama wants to watch a romance drama with me!? Yes! I'd love to!!
Ryui: I can't possibly allow my precious Toi-sama to walk. Please allow me to carry you on my back.
Toi: E-even a piggyback ride...!
Ryui: Please, hop on.
Toi: 'Kay~! ♪ [moves close to Ryui to get on his back]
Toi: (I have Ani-sama's back all to myself... Hehe, I really am so lucky.)
Toi: Ani-sama, I love you.
Ryui: Ah, I love you too.
[Int: HAMA House Dining Hall, evening]
Ryui: Alright, Toi-sama. Say 'ah'.
Toi: Aaah... chew, chew.
Daniel: Hey, hey, is this still going on?
Nagi: Seems to be, yes.
Yodaka: I suppose that's just the way it is, today.
Netaro: I don't like how they're acting like they're the only people in each others' worlds. Pay~ more~ attention~ to~ me~.
Toi: Ehehe. It'd be nice if Netaro could experience Ani-sama being his butler, too, but...
Toi: I'm sorry, but Ani-sama is all mine today.
Ryui: That's right. But don't go getting ideas about trying to butt in when it rolls over to midnight.
Ryui: Here, Toi, what do you want to eat next?
Toi: Hmm... well, that lasagna looks really good!
Ryui: Coming right up.
Toi: A~ah, if Ani-sama is the one feeding me, I could just keep eating forever, but if I did, wouldn't I end up getting chubby?
Ryui: A chubby Toi would also be the cutest thing in the world.
Nagi: ... it's nice that they have someone they can be like that with.
Yodaka: Fufu, it's not the kind of thing that comes easily to everyone.
Daniel: This is way too sweet for my taste... I think I've had my fill of hearing about butlers for a while...
