[OOC] RETRACE 25 SUMMARY
Which you can download from Curious♥
Because I got caught up in reading and didn't have time to do an exact translation, but. I WILL DO THAT LATER ps guys Eliot is awesome and someone should app him asap. :D
SO OKAY. The review page is hosted by Sharon and Break! ... who are actually pretty much "ah, well~ so here's the stuff that happened~"
"And even so ... we didn't appear in this chapter, huh ..."
"That's true, isn't it ... fufufufu ..."
WE MIGHT BE SECONDARY CHARACTERS, BREAK, BUT EVEN MOCHIZUKI ACKNOWLEDGES THIS?!
Anyway.
Gil and Alice ended up together after everyone ran off in opposite directions; Gil is still not comfortable in his borrowed uniform. :'( Alice pings off the Baskervilles being there, though we're not actually supposed to know that till midchapter. But there's a shot of the girl (I think her name's Lottie, reading the katakana for her name) sets off to go meet Oz.
MEANWHILE, Oz is examining the piano, and asks Ada who might've been playing it (the melody he recognized from Jack's pocket watch). She says it must have been Eliot and Reo, who spend a lot of their time in the music room practicing. However, because it's a holiday, most of the students have gone home -- but pooooossibly, she says, they might still be in the library. Oz, of course, RUNS OFF TO INVESTIGAGE!! ... leaving his little sister going "D: don't leave me behind ..." gg Oz.
There isn't anyone in the library when Oz arrives, but that's okay! Because he's discovered that there are a WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW VOLUMES for the "Holy Knight" series out; he's apparently a huge fan! (We actually see him reading it to Ada in the flashback where he first met Gil.) But it's been ten years, holy crap! There's so much he's missssssed -- but there's a single volume missing! Which was being borrowed by our resident Angry Guy, Eliot. Eliot asks Oz what he thinks of Edgar, one of the characters in the story (the loyal servant of the titular Holy Knight). Oz loves him! He is like Oz's favorite character! OZ IS A FANBOY GOING ON ABOUT HOW AWESOME EDGAR IS~~~
Eliot hates him. :) In fact, he goes off on this huge diatriabe about HOW STUPID EDGAR IS, and how it was annoying that he sacrificed himself, and jeeze, why the hell is that piece of trash so popular?! Like there's anyone in the world who'd sacrifice themselves for their masters and die happy because of it!
Oz is devastated. WHAT, WHY, HOW, EDGAR IS DEAD?! LOL SPOILERS. :(
Eliot: "Haa?! You didn't know!! If you're a fan, you should've read it!!"
Oz: "Shut up, these past ten years have been a blank for me, damnit!!" <--notably, Oz's speech formality drops signifigantly; he's sort of. Matching Eliot's rougher patterns here, using "ussee" and "anda" as he yells.
And then, you know:
"Somehow, this guy pisses me off ... !!" (Oz uses "koitsu," but Eliot uses "kono yarou." Hahaha.)
As they're being such~ good~ friends~ Eliot's pal, Reo, asks them both to be quiet. He's trying to read. :\ And scolds Eliot for being in the wrong; you shouldn't just go off on someone just because you don't like the answer. Right? Which Eliot finally admits, but instead of apologizing (it looks like he was going to!) he ends up. Calling Oz a chibi instead. Before they can actually get into a fistfight, Reo gets up to leave, and Eliot demands Oz's student number.
Leo: "It'll do you no good, Eliot. He was one of the people who snuck in before."
Eliot is very happy about this. HE CAN BEAT OZ UP WITH IMPUNITY. :Db But as he's gearing up (and Oz is unimpressed), Ada shows up and tries to break up the fight. Eliot, pissed off, kicks over a chair and tells her not to call him by name so freely, then proceeds to bitch her out for knowing the "intruders" and ... basically implies that because she's a Vesalius, she can get away with anything, and isn't that nice?!
So Oz steals his stuff. And runs off with it. And basically guiltguiltguilts that he's caused Ada problems by showing up. Blah blah blah wangst, but Ada shows up and tells him to please not think badly of Eliot; it's no one's fault that he hates her, but he's really a very nice and gentle person ...! (THOUGHT: Ada's crush is Eliot, NOT Gil. Knowing what Eliot is, that is somehow incredibly awesome to me.) Then she asks if Oz was able to ask about the piano-playing, which Oz realizes, belatedly, that he'd forgotten. (He recognzied Eliot's name when Ada called it before, but then Eliot went on his rant against Ada, and Oz. Didn't ask.) She offers to ask for him, but Oz says no, he'll do it and thanks her for reminding him--
And then she falls over! And Lottie shows up. "Leave that girl, why don't you come with me~~"
CUT TO Eliot, chasing after Oz, finding Ada passed out on the ground, with Dinah trying to tug him in a certain direction. Cut back to Oz and Lottie, blah blah blah about the school and hidden passages!! and stuff; they emerge into a room where Fang and Doug (?) are waiting, and Lottie puts back on her red cloak. OZ BELATEDLY REALIZES HE HAS FALLEN IN WITH THE BASKERVILLES. (gg Oz) I ... skimmed this part more than I should have, but the gist seems to be that they want Oz's help to obtain that final key to the Abyss' Will -- you know, that thing that Break and Sharon were being so~ mysterious~ about in the first volume? Yeah. This is basically the Baskerville version of that. However, I will tell you, Sharon never sat on Oz and tried to convince him the way Lottie does.
Blah blah, talking talking, Oz being all "I don't want people to be hurt protecting me," and Lottie pointing out well! but it's fine if you ARE doing something to protect someone, right? If you can save people, it doesn't matter if you die~ and Oz attempts to top her with the POWER OF APPEALING TO HUMAN REASON! but that's when Eliot and Reo show up. Eliot is basically "CARRY ON. I AM JUST HERE FOR MY STUFF. :|" Meanwhile, Oz starts yelling at him to get away, doesn't he know that these are--
"These are the Baskervilles, aren't they?"
And Eliot goes off on another impassioned rant about how the Baskervilles are the sinners responsible for the tragedies of a hundred years ago, overriding all of Oz's attempts to get him to leave. And he calls Oz an "Edgar-wannabe." :D
Also:
Oz: "I don't want unrelated people to get involved any more! That's why ... I get you, please hurry and run--"
Eliot: "I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP, YOU MORON."
Eliot goes on to say how, before Edgar died, he gave a speech about how he wasn't afraid of being hurt, and he would gladly die for his master's happiness; how the fear of death would become his weapon, etc., etc. and then -- "DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. What's so strong about not being afraid of death?!!" And how if you're not willing to bear things, that's just SAYING STUPID THINGS you can tell that I am losing steam, can't you, but this part is incredibly awesome and basically. Challenges the Baskervilles.
"Hear me ... you of the Baskervilles.
My name is Eliot ... the true child [lit. he is the legitimate child of] of the Nightlay House of the Four Great Houses----
ELIOT NIGHTLAY!!"
IN SUMMARY:
1. I LOVE ANGRY GUY
2. NO REALLY, ANGRY GUY
3. Baskervilles are craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy
4. Oz is a stupid fanboy
5. SOMEONE APP ELIOT NIGHTLAY MMKAY it's totally doable I think I'm in love
