Intro
The first morning of the new school year. In the living room of their Felty quarters, Kei checks his red pendant with his fingertips. The same color rests on Guest's chest.
You are my Retainer again this year. Don't think it will be the same as last year.
He sits on the sofa and lowers his gaze to his teacup.
Tea. Brew the usual.
Before long, the two head to the upper-student exclusive area for breakfast. Students they pass in the hallway turn their eyes toward Kei and Guest, who walks one step behind him.
"It's Lord Karasuma. He has the same Retainer this year too..."
He shows no interest in the whispers and keeps walking.
Don't look away. Follow me.
In the lounge, Rin waves while leaning on Hayato's arm.
Kei-san, Guest-chan, good morning!
He casually moves a drink away so Rin won't knock it over.
Good morning. Rin, you're clinging too much for this early.
