Has the Contract been sealed?
Has the past been changed?
He's over here! Please hurry!
There's a man lying over here covered in blood...
Be careful! Please wait here, Mistress Sharon!
A child...
What did you say?!
Sharon was kidnapped?!
Yeah.
So then...
so then, how's Sharon?
There's no need to worry. Mistress Sharon is perfectly fine.
All because I made a successful trade with that criminal.
Trade? What trade?
And who's a criminal?
That's a se-cr-et. You don't need to know, anyway.
In any case, such disagreements often occur.
Mistress Sharon, you're finally awake.
Break...
You big idiot!!!
What's all right?!
NOTHING is all right!!!
Is the Mistress safe, Vincent Nightray?
Don't worry, I've told you.
I did not kill her.
Mistress!
I decided that it would be best to set a time limit,
so that we would come to an agreement quickly.
A friend of mine collects poisons as a hobby.
I decided to test a very rare poison that he gave me on the both of them.
Why Echo as well?
This is the antidote.
I know you won't listen to me unless you know its effectiveness.
Mr. Hatter...
Even though I said that I "wanted" the bell,
it doesn't necessarily mean that I "need" the bell.
To be quite honest..
I just want it destroyed.
It would be best if no one knew about what happened a hundred years ago.
There's no need for anyone to know anything.
That bell.. is Alice's memory...
It was formed using the power of the Abyss.
Which means you can't just destroy it using ordinary methods.
Destroy it.
Use your Mad Hatter to reject, and destroy, the power of the Abyss.
Destroy that bell... right now!
I need to have a reason to live...
in order to go on.
Therefore, I need to find...
the truths of a hundred years ago.
Will you allow me that, Madam Shelly?
Don't do such a foolish thing!
Break...
Don't worry about me.
Mistress!
There's no need for you to do as he says.
This is what you've been longing for...
The truth of a hundred years ago, the reason for you to live on.
It's all right.
Don't do it!!!
Are you satisfied now, Vincent Nightray?
Yes! My thanks, Mr. Hatter.
Now, give me the antidote.
You're such a nice guy...
Mr. Hatter.
That's why I like the current you much better.
You...!
Well, well, Master Vincent.
Your expression looks just like Brother Gilbert's.
This only happened... because I couldn't protect myself.
Because of my own weakness...
Say, what happened exactly?
Even so.. You still...
For my sake...
Stop pretending to be so cool!
Please, don't overestimate me, Mistress.
How could I have done that for you,
when I'm someone who only lives for himself?
The reason I saved you is because I value my life.
And if anything ever happened to you... Madam Shelly...
Your mother would make mince meat of me.
That's so... unfair... saying it that way.
I only wanted... to help Brother Xerxes... that's why I'm here now...
Brother... Xerxes?
But you...
What's the matter, Master Oz?
Sharon called Break "Brother Xerxes."
Yeah, she used to always call him that.
Of course, they're not really siblings.
Perhaps she still sees him as an older brother.
But how do you know so much about their past?
Ah, I still haven't introduced myself. I am Liam Runnett.
Always at the beckoning-call of the Rainsworth Family,
I have known Xerxes for more than 10 years now.
Eh? So even Break has friends then!.
Friends?
So we're "friends," huh...
Break is a really weird guy.
Was he always like that?
No, he was very different in the past, and much more distant.
He was the type of guy who never liked to show his emotions.
Hey, did you see him yet?
Yeah, the one who was dying when Mistress Sharon found him.
He really makes people around him uncomfortable.
A suspicious person like him, do we really need to treat him like a guest?
Hey! Stop that! If you do that you'll--
Shut up!
Leave me alone, don't come near me!
Don't... don't look at me!
He was just like a wounded animal.
The only one who could change that man was Madam Shelly.
Lady Sharon's mother.
Maybe he was touched by Madam Shelly's kindness,
but Xerxes Break slowly opened up his heart.
Now, he can smile from the bottom of his heart.
Hey Sharon,
did you see Cheshire Cat's face?
That used to be my eye.
My left eye was once taken by the Will of the Abyss.
And because of that, I remember much about the past.
Break was... searching for the truth of a hundred years ago.
And then there's Alice, who's also trying to find her memories...
So... what am I--
This is an emergency!!!
Uncle Oscar?! What's wrong?
Everyone... Everyone, please help me!!
What are these?
Uniforms?
Wow... those really suit both of you.
What's the meaning of this, Master Oscar?!
Where exactly are you taking us?!
We're on a mission.
This is an important mission that only we can accomplish.
This letter was sent from the Latowidge Academy.
Latowidge Academy?
It's the one of the top three private schools in the world.
Yes, and right now...
Our Ada is currently studying there.
Ada? What's that? Can you eat it?
That's... my sister.
Sister? You have a sister?
Yeah.
And the problem is in this letter.
To my dear uncle.
Yes, yes.
The weather is beautiful today.
Ahahha.. What day is today?
At least put down a date, right?
The school's kidney pie is delicious.
Oh, that one. I love it too.
Somehow, I accidentally made the boys cry.
She is really careless.
P.S. There's someone that I like.
I see, someone she likes...
Your uncle will never allow that!!!
This is a serious case, right?!
Then, you don't mean...
You made us wear these because...
But of course! We have to verify the truth of Ada's letter!
We're going to sneak into the school grounds!
Sneak into the school?!
Can't we just sign some sort of paper saying we're visiting?!
We don't have time for that.
It also wouldn't be very romantic.
Now, let's go!
This is a hidden passage, secretly made by the Bezarius Family.
Wha-what is this?
All right, the coast is clear.
So this is Latowidge Academy...?
Why do we have to do something like this?
I don't understand the reason for it either, but stop whining about it, seaweed head!
Shut up, stupid rabbit.
Master Oscar, there are students coming this way!
There's no need to panic, Gilbert, our disguises are perfect.
Y-yeah, that's right. We're just three students, and you're a teac--
Ah, good day to you all! Isn't the weather great today?
Wh-who is this old guy?!
S-some kind of pervert?!
There's no way you'll get away with that uniform!
Really?
What is it? So noisy...
Looks like some suspicious characters snuck into the school..
Eliot.
Huh?
We got separated from Oz and Alice.
No need to worry about them.
Oz would enjoy this kind of situation.
That may be so, but still...
He should have really been much happier.
So that's why we're here?
Oh, we've been caught.
A cat?!
You're not allowed to smoke in the academy!
Even if you hide and smoke, you can never escape my Snow Drop's nose.
Hey there, Miss Prefect.
Uncle...?
This is really bad.
Where did Uncle Oscar and Gil run off to?
But this so fun that it shouldn't be a problem.
You don't look like you're having fun.
Do you hate the idea of seeing your sister that much?
Wow Alice, you're pretty sharp about some things.
What?! Are you saying I'm an idiot?!
No, I'm praising you...
It's not that I hate it. I'm really happy to be able to see her.
I'm just... a little afraid.
You said Big Brother's here?
No way... I'm not ready yet...
What are you talking about? I told you about Oz's situation in my last letter.
That's true, but...
I've grown so much...
While I haven't changed at all.
Ada was still tiny when I last saw her.
She may not even remember me.
Because... because... it's been ten years since we saw each other.
I don't look anything like I used to.
What if... what if he says that I'm not Ada?
Oz would never say something like that.
So please, don't hesitate in showing how much you truly want to see each other.
A cat?
Oz, you really are a moron.
Didn't you just tell me...
that all I needed to do was just be myself?
Was that a lie?
No...
I was... so happy... when I heard... those words--
So?!
Why can't you follow your own advice?
That... that's--
Don't you dare talk back to me! You trash!!
Now listen carefully: you're my Contractor!
So you should be proud of that fact,
that you are yourself.
Where did you go, Snow?
Shout it out loud and clear!
Shout it loud and clear! You are my servant!
Come on, yell it out, Oz!
"I am a servant of Alice!"
Oz!
Big...
Brother...?
A... da...?
Umm, it's been a long time...
I'm astonished.
You look exactly like you did the day you disappeared.
Yeah.
That is... do you still remember me, Ada?
Of course I remember you!
Big Brother, you were..
so tall.. and so kind..
and so much cooler than anyone else.
Sounds like your memories of me have improved over time.
But I think...
that the Big Brother here today is better.
Even though you're shorter than what I remember,
you're actually here, by my side; to be able to touch you, and talk with you...
To be together... with you.
Ada...
I missed you...
I missed you so much.. Big Brother!
Big Brother!
You haven't changed a bit.
Even though your appearance has changed, you're still the same person.
Big Brother!
Thank you, Ada.
Stay away!
Alice...
Hey, little girl, you better control yourself!
He's my property, my servant!
Don't get so mushy with him!
What servant, you stupid rabbit?!
Oz is my Master! Don't think you can just treat him as your property!
What did you say, seaweed head?!
They're all so close, they can't stop arguing.
Why, you guys..
Have you all forgotten our objective in coming here?
What?! Don't tell me you're the suspicious characters everyone in school is talking about?!
Well, we're sorry about that, but we really wanted to see you.
I guess it can't be helped.
It's been a long time since we've been able to talk like this, hasn't it Gil?
Yeah, so it seems.
Are you still wearing that hat I gave you?
Yes! Of course!
Hat?
They're talking about a hat?
Is it that one?
So that was a present from Ada.
Uncle... don't tell me...
Stay calm!
I know what you're trying to say, but don't panic!
If that's the case...
Aaaaadaaaa!
I have something I want to ask you, concerning the P.S. in this letter you sent me.
P.S.? That was...
Damn it! I should have realized it right away!
You won't die an easy death, Gil!
No, just now... that was...!
Listen when people are talking to you!
Hey, Oz! Don't leave me behind!
Big Brother!
Did you get separated from Uncle Oscar again?
That was fun!
Just like old times, right Ada?
Yeah!
Big Brother?
Who?
Who's playing that tune?
No doubt about it.
Even though it's a different arrangement...
It's the same melody as the one in the music-box.
