I know this sound.
Is it calling to me?
It's still early, but I should go.
Oz! Oz!
Over here!
Uncle Oscar!
Wow!
Those flowers were sent from the Rainsworth Dukedom.
Let me introduce you two.
This is the granddaughter of Madam Rainsworth.
Miss Sharon Rainsworth.
Pleased to meet you.
I am Sharon Rainsworth.
Oz?
Nice to meet you, too! I am Oz Vessalius!
I bring you felicitations for your 15th birthday, Sir Oz.
Thank you.
I'm terribly sorry. My mother should be the one attending this ceremony.
However, her health has not served her well since yesterday.
I have come to deliver the message she will not be attending.
As an apology, I was sent here as her representative.
Is that so?
Would you please give your mother my regards?
Please also tell her I shall be praying for her quick recovery.
Thank you very much.
S-So... Well...
Will you also be attending the ceremony?
Well, it would be nice if I were able to.
Unfortunately, I am still under the age of 15.
She's younger than me?!
Perfect! She's younger than me?!
Perfect!
Minors are not permitted to attend the party.
Ada is pouting about that.
Oh, dear.
Sir Oz. I shall be turning 15 the year after next.
When that time comes, will you please join me in a dance?
Yes, of course!
Here's to
Here's to looking
Here's to looking at you.
Sharon is so cute!
She's so cute!
It's almost time, so if you'll excuse me.
It's very unfortunate that I must leave after just making your acquaintance.
From this point forth...
There will be many who will try to take advantage...
...of your newfound position in society.
Some will desire your vast wealth.
Some will desire to ride on the coattails of your political powers as duke.
But those people will only see you as the next heir of the Vessalius family.
Please do not ever forget the ones who support you by your side.
If you honor that mindset, you will never lose sight of yourself.
Let us go, Break.
We need to get going, Oz.
Yeah.
- Uncle, do you know where Gil is?
- Huh? - Uncle, do you know where Gil is?
Gilbert? I haven't seen him anywhere.
Oh.
I wonder where he went.
He has a big role. I'm sure he'll show up by the time the ceremony starts.
Oz Vessalius.
Oh?
What did you think of him?
Well, let's see...
A very boyish young man who fits your fancy quite aptly, Miss Sharon.
What are you talking about?!
If he is the heir to Vessalius, he is fated to come to our side.
You may become more involved with him than me, Break.
I suppose so.
Oh, man!
What's wrong, Emily?
It's starting to rain!
Oh, right you are. It may even turn into a storm.
May I have your attention, please? It is time.
We will adhere to ancient traditions...
...and now commence with the coming of age ceremony for Oz Vessalius.
I, Oscar Vessalius, shall act in place of his father...
...and take charge of the ceremony.
Oh yeah. I forgot to ask Uncle about this pocket watch.
Oz!
Good luck!
Thanks, Ada.
You should go. They'll get mad if they see you here.
Okay!
May the awaited one be guided to this holy place.
Oh, how you've grown, Master Oz!
The Silent Clock...
Gilbert!
Are you sure the black-haired boy is under your complete control, Zwei?
Dledum is manipulating his every move!
We'll need him to open the path!
Make sure you suppress Dledum as well.
I know.
By the Silent Clock that stopped time 100 years ago...
The actors revered in the prophecy shall enter the stage.
Now, let us begin the countdown!
May the light of truth shine upon thy path.
May the gusts of revelations bring wisdom to thee.
May holy waters quench thy thirst.
By the name and blood of Vessalius...
I hereby declare the coming of age of Oz Vessalius.
By the Baptismal Sword of the earth from which we are born...
Rid him of worldly impurities...
And bless him for all of eternity.
Thy impurities have been expunged.
Now, speak thy oath.
After I recite the oath over there, this stupid ceremony will be over.
I hereby swear to these lands and my brethren...
...that I shall defend the honor of Vessalius...
...until the day the crimson rhythm of my vessel perishes.
What is this?
When the awaited alights the Promised Land, the bell shall break its silence.
There is no mistake. He is the one from the prophecy.
What's going on?!
Is a path opening?
Gil? What are you doing?!
The "awaited" has arrived and the clock has broken its silence as well.
What must be done next is...
Gil! Why?!
The blade of a friend glitters, stained red.
The drops shall carve a path to the other lands.
The time of judgment is now.
The path to Abyss shall open!
Did you say Abyss?!
Your blood is different from the others!
It smells delicious!
What happened, Zwei?!
Dledum is going out of control!
What?!
Gil?
I want to see more of your blood!
Stop it, Gil!
Gil!
B-Rabbit!
You look pitiful, kid!
You're that!
You dare interfere with us?
Interfere?
I didn't expect that.
I stopped the kid who was going out of control on your behalf.
Let me be clear. This belongs to me!
Don't you dare touch him, Reapers.
Yours?
I decided that just now. Do shut up.
Well now, Reapers...
If you try to lay even a finger on him, I will do anything to stop you.
No one will take away what is mine.
So, you do intend to interfere!
I won't let you!
Know your place!
Any who hinder our grand mission must be disposed of!
Find her!
Yes, sir!
Gil! Get ahold of yourself! Gil!
Don't move.
B-Rabbit? Reapers?
What's going on here?!
You're not as powerful as the rumors say.
We will end this now, B-Rabbit.
We'll see about that!
You should know when to give up!
Now die!
This is no fun.
What?!
I thought you'd put up more of a challenge...
...but is this the best you can do, Reapers?!
You!
Did you really think I could be killed by the likes of you?
Well? Well?!
It's over, Reaper!
Master Oz!
I won't kill you.
You came to drop this kid into Abyss, didn't you?
It is said people who commit grave crimes will be paid a visit from...
...a messenger from the Abyss and be taken to a very scary place.
I thought that was just a legend!
So will the boy come to this side?!
What?!
What a wonderful moment this is!
Now cry! Dance, peasants!
Let us all bless this lamb who will come to Abyss!
What is this?
Gil!
What did Master Oz do?!
He has done nothing to deserve being sent to Abyss by you!
Gil! No!
You have to run!
Master Oz is... Master Oz is!
You are...
Gil!
Get away from Gil!
Master Oz! No!
He is your!
Gil?
How? Why?
I just... Gil...
This is a sight to see.
Begone! Phantom of Abyss!
Very well.
I will be waiting for you!
I've finally found it...
My only clue...
Oz Vessalius.
My chains of justice shall judge you.
Your sin...
...is your...
...very existence!
I'm being dragged into the black wings...
The birds are singing and the sun is shining through.
What better time than now for some tea?
Haven't you had enough of your tea time yet, Break?
You're being indiscreet.
Oh please, Miss Sharon.
We still have plenty of time until the paths can be connected.
Why don't you come here for some candy, Sir?
No, thank you.
You should relax, or you may fail even the simplest of tasks.
The Rainsworth family went along with this mission using their own discretion.
Since this is being done behind the backs of the organization...
...you better be sure you don't mess up.
Don't worry. I will not fail.
Let us now begin.
We must save Oz Vessalius.

One worthy of becoming my Contractor.
Why does it have to be me?!
