murderingthetime | Volume 1 Notes

(Chapter 2)
First appearance
• Oz's coming of age ceremony accompanying Sharon.
• Sharon is 14(?) here
• She's there because her mother fell ill the other day, and gives Oz a message.
• "On your fifteenth birthday, I'd like to express my heartfelt congratulations. From now on, you'll have the privilege to participate in social parties, so ... -- there will be many who draw near to you in hope that they may yse you and your status. There will be those who seek great wealth... Yet, there will also be those who hope to share in the hidden power of the duke's household... Also, -- every one of them will merely place your father's image upon you. However... please do not forget this. I'll always be by your side. I will be someone who gives you support. If that is the chase, then definitely. If you lose sight of yourself, then it will all be over."
• They both leave before the actual ceremony and the party.

Lady Sharon is always obsessed with young boys...
S: Oz Vessalius... From your point of view, what did you think?
B: Hmm... Let's see... Wouldn't you say that he fits the young lady's obsession with young boys?
S: What are you talking about?!
S: If he becomes the Vessalius successor, it's fate that he will eventually come to our side. You would probably be better at getting deeply involved with him than I would.
B: It definitely seems that way... Oh!
S: What happened?
B: Oh, no. Just as I thought, it's starting to rain. I wonder if this... could become a storm?

(There ceremony turns out to be a wreck because Gil is possessed by Doldum/Doldee and stabs Oz in the shoulder and the Oz almost stabs THAT BASKERVILLE! That Gil protects so Oz stabs Gil. Oz is pushed into the Abyss by Raven(?) and there he meets Alice. There is the thing about the trump trying to eat Oz and then the Red Baby but Alice saves him and contracts with him through a kiss)

(Chapter 3)
Having tea.
Sharon, Gil and Break prepping to get Oz out of the Abyss.

Oh hey he got out without us.
The results are "all right".

(Chapter 4)
Hey Oz-kun, good morning.
Welcome home to your world.
I am the one who serves this dukedom. My name is Xerxes Break. By the way, this little one is Emily.
B: Well ... For now, please take a seat. At any rate, that party sure was a disaster. I heard the whole story in detail ... ... from Gilbert-kun.
O: Gil?? Then...!
R(G): Everyone is safe. Your uncle ... and ... little sister as well. That servant, too.
B: Right, right. That's why we are concerned about what happened afterwards. please, tell us about it.

B: Ho ho! So, in other words ... You're saying that this "B Rabbit" got out of the Abyss by using her own powers? Amazing! We were never needed! Damn! Aha ha ha! It's just like that, right, Emily?
B: By the way, where is this "Miss Rabbit" now?
O: About that ... When I came to, she was nowhere to be found ... She... She said that the sound of this watch called out to her, and she found me.
S: Well, at any rate, what's important is that you're safe, Oz-sama.
B: Yes... But now we... ... Must capture you.
O: What?
B: Well, Oz, I wonder... Do you know anything about the organization called "Pandora"?
O: Just the name... If I remember right, it's an organization under the direct control of the country to preserve public order.

B: Well, that's 'officially' true, you know. (TAKING YOUR CAKE AND EATING IT) In fact, research into the Abyss, or more specifically, resolving accidents related to that, are also one of their tasks. As you know, the Abyss is not like the prison spoken of in the legends. There are also times when the way produces something on occasion, and chains come out from there.
B: Also, they look for a contractor to stabilize their unstable existence. At that point the people who join in, inviting trouble, are called 'illegal contractors'.
O: Illegal?
B: Yes. It's prohibited for normal people to get involved with the Abyss, and to make contracts with chains... ... since it's very dangerous, of course. In other words ... No matter what the reason is, we can't just let you walk away. (FORK IN UR TEA)

B: Because the three of us ... are members of Pandora
S: Please wait a moment, break! Oz only did it in order to escape. Besides our goal is his...
(Alice takes over Oz's body and holds a knife to Sharon :O!)
B: I thought if your contractor was in danger that you would come out for me. It's an honor to meet you, B Rabbit.

B: Pandora has also been burned by that terrible hand of yours. I just wanted to try talking with you once.
A(O): What?
B: Are you planning on committing something here, now that you have the contractor you desire? I'm dying to know.
A(O): Talking is unnecessary. Withdraw from there!
B: That's impossible. We can't just release a dangerous chain like you into the wild.
A(O): So whatever happens to this girl is okay?
S: Break... please don't worry about me.
B: Oh my, that's just like you. ... But I can't do a thing like that ...
(yay restriction field :'D)

B: Well, prepared means "no worries", right? The restriction field that I put up earlier sure was worth it.
(knocks Alice out of Oz)
B: How nice! It's a cute-looking young lady!
B: There is a written record of your giant rabbit form, but ... ... that form is an energy-saving condition, right? That's fine, right? Even if I released your power- But even if you wanted to, it wouldn't come out, right?
O: What are you talking about?
B: The Black Rabbit's power is a little too powerful to be stored in your body. ... That power which began consuming your body when you came out of the Abyss... If we had left it alone, it would have led to your death in a flash. That's what I had him seal the flow of power for me.

B: Oz... ... You know, the girl you contracted with is a little different from other chains. It's confirmed that she has a personality, as long as she takes the form of a human.
A: You'd probably be delighted if I was handed over to a researcher. Do you think I'll listen to what you have to say?
(Canes her in the chest....)
B: The one asking the questions here is me. Let's obediently talk about your goal.

(Oz defends Alice)
O: If you harm Alice anymore ... ... I absolutely won't do something such as cooperate with you.
B: What do you mean?
O: That doll said it. "We were never needed". Sharon was also in the middle of saying that your objective deals with me. I wondered why you brought me to this mansion for protection and not Pandora's headquarters... Is that becomes things would get bad if they found out about my existence?
O: You guys didn't protect me by accident... You were planning on taking me out of the Abyss from the very beginning, right? But the one who saved me was Alice! If you injure the person to whom I owe my life, that makes you an enemy as well!
B: ... ... Hmm. ... enemy, huh? Well, that makes it a little tough to do.
B: Seriously, you messed around too much and made Oz mad, didn't you Emily!
Sharon: Stop putting the blame on others, Break!!!
B: Ah ha ha ha! I just played a little too much, right? Which is why I'll make some tea as an apology. Shall we talk about this - ... our true goal, huh?

B: ......... I just thought that if I terrorized them a little bit, it would keep the talk in our advantage but ... it seems he isn't as much of a brat as he looks. That kid sure is just as your report said.

(The way is connecting) - the watch?
(Break tells Raven to let out B Rabbit's power and she destroys the chain coming out. Oz grabs for the pocketwatch and memories happen! And Jack. Everyone gets to feel Alice's tears.)
S: Break, what we just saw was...
B: -- (heh)... yeah, perhaps this girl is also ... ... one of the keys which we seek.

B: I would like for the two of you to work for Pandora as my subordinates. Our mission is to chase after the people of Baskerville.
O: Baskerville?
B: Ah... they are the ones who dropped you into the Abyss. We were planning to take you with us, too, Oz. Because I'm certain that you wanted to know exactly what the deal is concerning the Baskervilles.
B: Even if they happen to appear again, it'll be safe if we are there. Besides, if you returned home, I wouldn't put it past them to involve your family again.
R(G): Break...!
B: Oz, Alice, this is just my intuition, but ... didn't your memories cause the appearance of the way? When we connect to the way again, if your memories reappear ... ... our information will definitely be useful, right? Assuming that I have an interest in your memories, of course.
A: What's your reason for chasing after those of Baskerville?
S: We... ... want the same thing as them. At the moment, it's merely an ambition...
O and A: ............
B: Iyaa... this is wonderful! We'll use each other ... they say that the key to working together is relationship! Oh! Is the sun already setting?
