    Huh?
[01:35] Hotaru
    What is this?
[01:36] Ren
    Hotaru.
[01:39] J
    So you two inherited the
    powers of the Butlers, too?!
[01:44] J
    You, too?

    It can't be...

    Shiratori Ren's Day Filled with Melancholy
[01:53] Hotaru
    What?
[01:54] Hotaru
    So you came from a
    hundred years ago, J-senpai?
[01:58] ---
    Yes.
[02:00] Haru
    Remember last winter when
    that giant pillar of light was seen?
[02:06] Haru
    Apparently, that's when J came to this world.
[02:14] Hotaru
    So he's over a hundred years old?!
[02:16] Dracula
    Th-That'd make him, like, a super senpai!
[02:19] Haru
    No, no. He just came from the past,
    so his age wouldn't change.
[02:26] Haru
    You guys still don't understand, do you?
[02:29] Ren
    So we're supposed to be of
    the same bloodline as J-san?
[02:35] J
    Yeah.
[02:36] J
    You have the blood of the Butlers,
    who protect the Blood Spirit.
[02:39] J
    Your birthmarks prove it.
[02:43] J
    You've heard of atavism, right?
[02:46] Haru
    There are times when characteristics
    and abilities of some ancestors
[02:50] Haru
    appear in later generations.
[02:52] Haru
    It appears we've inherited powers
    of people who were Butlers before.
[02:58] Drac
    I see...
[03:00] Drac
    So my ancestor was a Butler?
[03:04] J
    That's right.
[03:05] Hotaru
    And I've awoken to those powers and
    erased people's memories, right?
[03:12] Hotaru
    Do all of you have special powers, too?
[03:15] Haru
    Nope. I don't have any special powers yet.
[03:19] Ren
    Wait a second.
[03:22] Ren
    Coming from a hundred years ago?
    Possessing special powers?
[03:27] Ren
    What are you all talking about?
[03:30] Haru
    Ren...
[03:32] Ren
    Time consists of the past, present,
    and future, and it progresses linearly.
[03:39] Ren
    It is impossible to go back into the past,
    let alone jump into the future.
[03:45] Ren
    Not to mention, birthmarks aren't that rare.
[03:49] Hotaru
    Yeah, this is really hard to believe.
[03:53] Hotaru
    Is there any other proof?
[03:56] Hotaru
    Something else that tells us we
    inherited the blood of Butlers.
[04:00] Haru
    I know!
[04:02] Haru
    Do you guys have any kind of old jewel?
[04:05] Ren
    Jewel?
[04:06] Haru
    Yeah. A stone similar to this.
[04:12] Hotaru
    Satsuki-chan gave this to me. She said
    I should use it as a good luck charm.
[04:16] Drac
    I have something similar, as well.
[04:19] Drac
    This stone's been passed down for
    generations in the Fujishiro family,
[04:22] Drac
    and I was told I should always wear it.
[04:27] Ren
    My father gave this to me.
[04:30] Ren
    This jewel has been passed down
    to the men of the Shiratori family.
[04:33] Haru
    So all of you do have one.
[04:35] J
    Those are given to men once
    they've been established as Butlers.
[04:43] Hotaru
    I believe you.
[04:44] Ren
    Hotaru...
[04:45] Hotaru
    I think this is really wonderful.
[04:49] Hotaru
    That means it wasn't a
    coincidence that we all met.
[04:53] Haru
    Yeah. We might've all been drawn
    to each other for some reason.
[04:57] Ren
    No, this is a mere coincidence.
[05:00] Ren
    Look. All of your birthmarks
    have disappeared.
[05:04] Hotaru
    You're right.
[05:06] Drac
    When did that happen?
[05:07] Ren
    I'm sure this is some very elaborate prank.
[05:11] Haru
    Huh? I didn't do anything.
[05:14] Ren
    Well, I think that's enough talking.
[05:17] Ren
    Once our tests are done, we'll have a lot
    of cleaning to do. It's going to get busy.
[05:22] Hotaru
    Hey...
[05:26] Haru
    Well, I guess this is pretty hard to believe.
[05:30] J
    Yeah. I don't blame him.
[05:52] Ren
    There's no way I have special powers.
[06:09] Hotaru
    Erasing people's memories
    with a piece of candy...
[06:12] Hotaru
    I still can't believe it.
[06:16] Hotaru
    Holmes-san!
[06:19] Hotaru
    What?
[06:21] Holmes
    Watson told me everything.
[06:24] Holmes
    Aoba Hotaru, you apparently
    put something in that candy
[06:27] Holmes
    and made my memory disappear.
[06:31] Hotaru
    What are you talking about?
[06:33] Holmes
    It doesn't matter.
[06:35] Holmes
    Apparently, J's not the only member
    of the student council with secrets.
[06:39] Holmes
    And I'm going to figure out
    what those secrets are.
[06:58] Hotaru
    I probably shouldn't.

    Huh?
[07:22] Haru
    Come on! Come out!
[07:25] Haru
    Hey!
[07:29] Haru
    What the heck?
[07:37] Haru
    What?
[07:41] Guy
    There!
[07:43] Drac
    To think that I have the blood of a Butler...
[07:49] Drac
    That means I'm the same as my dad...
[07:53] Girl
    A-Are you all right?!
[07:55] Girl
    I'm so sorry.
[07:57] Drac
    It's okay.
[08:01] Drac
    What the?!
[08:04] Drac
    Huh?
[08:05] Girl
    Huh?
[08:10] J
    What's up?
[08:11] Haru
    I touched something, and it broke.
[08:14] Haru
    What the heck's going on?!
[08:16] J
    What are you talking about?
[08:17] Haru
    I-I just touched the vending machine
    and lamp post, and they both broke!
[08:23] J
    Have you awoken to your powers?
[08:25] Haru
    Powers?
[08:27] Haru
    So my power is to break
    things just by touching them?!
[08:31] Haru
    That means I won't be able
    to touch anything anymore!
[08:33] J
    Calm down.
[08:34] Haru
    How am I supposed to be calm?!
[08:39] J
    You can control your powers.
[08:42] J
    Accept your powers, and get used to them.
[08:47] Haru
    Get used to these powers?
[08:50] J
    Yeah.
[08:52] J
    Your powers are the same as
    your characteristics and talents.
[08:55] J
    How you use your power
    is completely up to you.
[09:00] Haru
    My powers are like my talents?
[09:03] J
    Yes, that's right.
[09:06] J
    There's nothing to fear.
[09:13] Akira
    P-chan hasn't spoken again
[09:15] Akira
    since the one time that day.
[09:18] Haya
    Right...
[09:22] akira
    If a distortion does occur in
    space-time, like he predicted...
[09:26] akira
    What can we do about it?
[09:31] akira
    I want to know who tried
    to steal the pendant, too.
[09:35] Akira
    If we can just figure out who they are,
    we'd be able to catch them.
[09:41] Haya
    There were people in the bloodline
[09:42] Haya
    who tried to use their powers
    for their own desires.
[09:47] Haya
    It must be one of them...
[09:50] Akira
    And what's their goal?
[09:52] Akira
    What are they trying to do
    by stealing the pendant?
[09:56] Haya
    I haven't figured that—
[10:02] Haya
    You've disappeared again, Akira-san.
[10:04] Akira
    Oh, I did? You're right,
    I turned invisible again.
[10:10] Akira
    And I'm back.
[10:11] Akira
    To think I ended up with the
    same power as my grandfather.
[10:16] Haya
    Please hurry and learn
    to control your power.
[10:21] Hotaru
    What? You saw the future?
[10:23] Drac
    Yeah! I saw a vision of the ball
    before it hit me in the face!
[10:28] Hotaru
    Wow, that's amazing! I guess that's
    what your power is, Dracula!
[10:32] Hotaru
    Ren!
[10:33] Ren
    Yes?
[10:35] Hotaru
    It's amazing!
[10:36] Hotaru
    Dracula awakened to his powers!
[10:38] Hotaru
    He can predict the future!
[10:42] Drac
    I am a man who can see into the future!
[10:45] Ren
    I see.
[10:47] Ren
    I used to wish I could do that...
[10:50] Ren
    Like fly through the air or use telepathy.
[10:54] Ren
    But one day, I came to a realization...
[10:56] Ren
    That's all impossible.
[10:59] Ren
    I realized this in second grade.
[11:01] Drac
    Wh-What are you trying to say?
[11:04] Ren
    I'm saying you're acting more
    childish than a second-grader.
[11:07] Drac
    What?!
[11:08] Hotaru
    Ren...
[11:10] Ren
    More importantly, here.
[11:13] Drac
    What's this for?
[11:14] Ren
    Cleaning, of course.
[11:16] Ren
    Please think about what you should
    be doing now rather than the future.
[11:20] Drac
    Why do I have to use something so primitive
    when there are machines that clean?
[11:28] Ren
    Well, I'm counting on you.
[11:32] Hotaru
    Ren...
[11:35] Drac
    What was that?
[11:36] Hotaru
    Is something wrong?
[11:38] Drac
    I saw the future again...
[11:40] Hotaru
    Huh?
[11:41] Drac
    There's going to be an
    accident at this academy.
[11:45] J
    Seeing the future?
[11:47] Drac
    That's right.
[11:48] Drac
    I can see what's going
    to happen in the future.
[11:52] Haru
    Are you sure there's going to be
    an accident in the near future?
[11:56] Drac
    Yes... I only saw it for a moment,
    but a student was on the ground, bleeding.
[12:04] Haru
    Seriously? That's awful.
[12:06] Hotaru
    But it hasn't happened yet, which
    means we should be able to stop it!
[12:11] Haru
    I see! So we just have to change
    the future that Dracula saw!
[12:14] Hotaru
    Yeah!
[12:16] J
    We need more information to do that.
[12:19] J
    Dracula, tell us everything you saw.
[12:23] Drac
    Right... Actually, I know who'll
    be involved in this accident.
[12:29] Drac
    That was...
[12:32] Drac
    Shiratori Ren.
[12:35] Hotaru
    Then we have to hurry up and find Ren!
[12:36] Hotaru
    Let's go!
[12:37] J
    Yeah.
[12:38] Haru
    Come on, you're coming, too.
[12:40] Drac
    Why do I have to do anything for him?
[12:43] Haru
    You're the only one who saw this future!
[12:45] Haru
    Just come on!
[12:47] Drac
    Hey!
[12:50] Ren
    Honestly, this is all nonsense.
[12:52] Ren
    There's no way I have special powers...
[13:14] Ren
    What?!
[13:16] Hotaru
    Ren! Where are you?
[13:18] Hotaru
    He was around here earlier...
[13:24] J
    Where did he go?
[13:29] Haru
    What the?
[13:44] Ren
    What in the world is going on?!
[13:48] Ren
    This must be a dream.
[13:50] Ren
    I'm having a nightmare.
[13:55] Hika
    You're from the student council...
[13:58] Ren
    I joined the student council, and my
    life as a student has been wonderful.
[14:03] Ren
    I never would've dreamed something
    like this would happen.
[14:08] Ren
    How am I supposed to understand something
    that's beyond human understanding?
[14:12] Ren
    Of course... No one could
    understand something like this.
[14:18] Ren
    Is this a dream? Is this just a dream?
[14:25] Hotaru
    Ren! Where are you?!
[14:28] Haru
    Hey, look at this.
[14:30] Drac
    Wh-What the?
[14:33] Haru
    The same as the broom earlier.
[14:36] J
    Could it be...
[14:37] Hotaru
    Huh?
[14:39] J
    Ren has awoken to his powers?
[14:42] J
    He's unable to control his powers!
[14:46] Haru
    Then we need to hurry up and find him!
[14:48] Hotaru
    Yeah!
[14:48] J
    Right.
[14:55] Girl
    Shiratori-senpai!
[14:58] Girl
    We've finished sweeping the school grounds!
[15:00] Ren
    I-I see... Thank you.
[15:03] Girl
    We finished cleaning the roof, too.
[15:05] Girl
    Could you please go check?
[15:07] Ren
    Sure, right away.
[15:09] Girls
    Thank you.
[15:12] Girl
    You think J-san will be happy, too?
[15:14] Girl
    Of course he will!
[15:16] Girl
    I can't wait to see him.
[15:22] Hotaru
    There he is!
[15:23] Haru
    Ren!
[15:25] Ren
    Everyone...
[15:27] J
    You've awoken to your powers, haven't you?
[15:30] Ren
    No...
[15:31] J
    Wait!
[15:35] Drac
    Y-You're a girl?!
[15:38] J
    No...
[15:40] J
    It appears that Ren has the
    ability to transform things.
[15:45] Ren
    No, no! That's not it!
[15:54] Haru
    It'll be okay. You have us.
[15:57] Drac
    I guess I wouldn't mind
    helping you out, either.
[16:00] Ren
    No... That's all right.
[16:06] Haru
    Hey!
[16:08] J
    I don't think we're going to
    get through to him right now.
[16:11] Hotaru
    But we can't just leave him alone!
[16:12] Hotaru
    We have to do something!
[16:14] J
    Yeah, I know.
[16:18] Drac
    Come to think of it...
[16:20] Haru
    What's up?
[16:21] Drac
    When I saw the future, I saw
    Shiratori Ren and something else.
[16:26] Haru
    What did you see? Try to remember!
[16:30] Drac
    That was...
[16:34] Drac
    A clock!
[16:36] Drac
    At 3:00, near the clock tower,
    Shiratori Ren will...
[16:40] Drac
    Up there!
[16:43] Hotaru
    There's no more time!
[16:44] Haru
    We have to hurry!
[16:45] Drac
    This way! Follow me!
[17:01] Ren
    This is impossible...
[17:04] Ren
    This should not be.
[17:09] Ren
    What am I supposed to do?
[17:20] J
    Ren!
[17:29] Hotaru
    Ren!
[17:32] Drac
    This is the vision I saw.
[17:34] Hotaru
    Huh? Then...
[17:37] Haru
    So it was this paint that looked like blood.
[17:45] Hotaru
    Are you okay?
[17:48] Ren
    Yes...
[17:53] Hotaru
    Looks like you're back to normal.
[17:55] Ren
    Y-Yes... But how?
[17:59] J
    Because you touched your chest.
[18:03] J
    You have the ability to control your powers.
[18:07] J
    Don't try to look away from reality, Ren.
[18:11] Haru
    I'm just glad you weren't hurt.
[18:14] Hotaru
    Dracula told us you were in danger.
[18:18] Hotaru
    Right?
[18:18] Drac
    I-I just happened to see the future...
[18:23] Drac
    And things ended up the
    way I saw them, anyway.
[18:29] Drac
    Which means I didn't actually save you.
[18:32] J
    This could've turned out much
    worse without your powers.
[18:36] Hotaru
    Yeah! We avoided the worst, didn't we?
[18:39] Drac
    R-Really?
[18:41] Hotaru
    Yeah!
[18:47] Ren
    Thank you, Dracula-san.
[18:52] Ren
    Thank you all.
[18:55] Hotaru
    Ren...
[18:56] Ren
    It looks like I'll have to abandon
    common sense and preconceived notions.
[19:01] Ren
    I just have to accept that
    there are powers in this world
[19:05] Ren
    that surpass human understanding.
[19:07] Hotaru
    Yeah. I'm here, and so is everyone else.
[19:11] Hotaru
    You're not alone.
[19:14] Ren
    Hotaru...
[19:16] Ren
    Yes, you're right.
[19:23] Haru
    Hey, it looked like you disappeared
    for a moment earlier, J...
[19:28] J
    That's my power.
[19:30] J
    I can move short distances in an instant.
[19:33] Haru
    That's amazing!
[19:35] J
    All right, let's head back.
[19:37] J
    We've still got cleaning to do.
