Chapter Text
May 16, Wednesday 4:40 AM
As he woke up at early dawn, He sighs to himself as the world has been reset again. He slowly walks to his calendar and writes 32 at the side of the calendar, marking the 32th reset of the world and his 32th time to be stuck in this world.
“Suppose I should do something to stop this madness….” He said softly as he went to the bathroom and started to get ready for his day.
As he goes out wearing a Male Mitakihara middle school uniform , he quickly goes to his young master’s room and opens the curtain.
“Greetings Young master…. I think it’s time to wake up and get ready for your day” He taps the young boy to wake him up and starts fixing his bed.
The kid groans as he wakes up “Sebastian…. It’s still early….. I want to sleep for 5 more minutes….” The kid quickly snatches his blanket and covers his eyes again.
Sebastian chuckles as he helps his master get out of his own bed “If only Young Master Saber wasn’t been playing all night then he probably had more time to sleep than playing God Eater” He says as escorts the kid to the bathroom.
He slowly walks down the stairs as he looks at his phone, reading the class list as he thinks how he would stop the time loop from happening “None of these must be the culprit… yet someone must’ve been manipulating time to…. Save someone isn’t it…..?”
As he goes to the kitchen, he hears Saber’s dad talk to him “For how long will you keep this going Sebastian….?” His master says in a cold tone as he looks at him.
Sebastian chuckles as he approaches the fridge and starts to prepare breakfast for them “I’ve been only here for a second Master…. Please be patient”
“I wasn’t talking about the breakfast Butler….” He snarls to Sebastian as he watches him cook.
“Ah…. you’re talking about the time loop isn’t it…. Well I haven’t found the culprit nor how we could get out of here…. Considering we are anomalies in… Mitakihara” He said as he stared at the egg he was frying.
His Master’s voice got cut off as His Mistress goes inside the kitchen, giggling as she watches the two talks “Don’t be so hard about Sebastian dear, I know he’s doing his best to think of a way to get out of here” She walks behind her husband, towering on him as she hugs him behind.
“Don’t be so hard on him? We've been stuck here for yea-” His words got cut off by his own Wife hugging him tighter, signaling him to stop and calm himself down.
As his Master calms down, his Mistress speaks up to him “By the way Sebastian…. What’s with the school uniform…. Where is your tailcoat?” She asks as Sebastian serves them breakfast on the table.
“Oh…. well I need to check the school first for anyone who might be the culprit there, at least I do blend in well with this” He checks himself as they start another of their days in this different world.
As Sebastian walks through the pavement near a river, He begins to talk to himself “If our culprit here could reset the time…. Then it would be easy to say they could mess with time too….” He looks at his pocket watch and booklet in his side “This either could be easy or harder than it looks”
After he talks to himself, he notices a pink haired girl with twin tails sprinting past him. He smiles as he taps his pocket watch to stop time and inspects the girl almost tripping “Huh…. no movement whatsoever…. Guess this isn’t our Suspect here….” He catches the girl and resumes time by tapping his pocket watch again.
The girl slowly blinks as she feels herself caught by Sebastian “Careful of your footing now Miss” He smiles brightly as the girl recoils in embarrassment and stammering.
“I- Umm- Uh-” She says as she stammers in embarrassment “T-Thank you….” She looks down as she stands straight and bows in front of him.
He chuckles as he notices a short blue haired girl and a medium dark green haired girl approaches the girl with pink twin tail “Ohh Madoka are you alright?” The Blue haired girl asked as she saw her friend in front of Sebastian.
The dark green haired girl looked at Madoka and asked “Did something happen with both of you Madoka?” she asked her friend. “N-No Hitomi! Just this guy helping me! I-I almost fell so uhh… he did catch me before” She said as she still stammers from what happened.
Hitomi softly laughs as she bows in front of Sebastian “Such a nice thing that you helped our friend here sir” Showing an endearing smile to him which made him smile in exchange “It’s nothing out of ordinary to help a lady in need” He puts his arm near his stomach and bows to them.
“Ohh… we got a gentleman in here huh” The blue haired girl grins and teases him as he bows “S-Sayaka! We shouldn’t be rude to him! He just helped me” Quickly said by Madoka as she doesn’t want her friend to be rude in front of him.
As they talk in front of him, he softly laughs and opens his booklet “You three are kinda endearing to watch you know…. Just a group of friends that balances each other” He starts to write their name in his booklet and walks “Well then…. See you three in class later…”
Hitomi giggles softly “He does look good in some way” She says as Sebastian walks away “So that kind of guy is your type Hitomi?” Sayaka smugly teases Hitomi.
“But wouldn’t girls like guys like him? Treating them accordingly?” Madoka said as they walked to the school gate. “Tch guys will be only like that at first, then they will treat you like trash! You shouldn’t fall for guys like him, Madoka!” Sayaka said in anger like she knows anything about falling in love.
As Sebastian walks around Mitakihara school, he begins to notice the difference between the structure here and back to his world “Huh…. All glass and high tech tables…. Seems pretty new for me” He continues to walk and looks at his phone to check where his classroom would be.
The class bell rings as He peeks inside the room and heard Ms. Saotome ranting about why they shouldn’t respect a woman from how she fries the sunny-side up, He slowly lets out a chuckle as He heard her ranting before hearing her say “Now then, I’d like to introduce our transfer students who will be joining us!” He quickly looks around and watches as a girl with long black hair walks past him.
“Please come in, Akemi-san” Ms. Saotome says as the girl walks past him. “So that’s her name huh….” He says as he wrote her name into his booklet “Ah! You too Arikado-san!” As Ms. Saotome notices Sebastian writing in his booklet.
He slowly signals Homura to introduce herself first “Lady first isn’t it?” He said as Akemi nodded to him “Akemi Homura, It’s a pleasure to meet you” She says as she writes her name on the board.
“She looks beautiful for a girl” Sayaka says as the class chatter about Homura, “Now it’s your turn Arikado-san!” Ms. Saotome says as Akemi finishes introducing herself and steals a glance at Madoka.
“Arikado Sebastian, I’ll be in your care” He said as he put his arm on his stomach and bowed after he wrote his name on the board, “Oh that explains a lot of his mannerism just by the name…” Sayaka says as she tries to hold her laugh.
The Lunch bell rings and Sebastian quickly leaves the room before some students ask him a personal question, “So…. Akemi, Miki and Shizuki are the people who I never tested the time stop since I don’t have an opportunity….. Ms. Saotome and the other students can’t be since they seem more normal than anyone” He says as he looks at his booklet.
He mindlessly walks around the halls and tapping his pocket watch to test anyone who could’ve been playing with time or rather who could be the culprit of the timeloops but as he stops time before Madoka and Homura could talk in the hallway, he quickly looks as he felt Homura’s eyes twitches in anger as he walks pass them as the time halts before they could talk.
He quickly resumes time as he gets away from them before he hears Homura talk beside him “Eavesdropping is a rude thing to do, Arikado-san” She says as she quickly walks past him.
“So she quickly said to me that she could be the one to reset every time huh….” He smiled as he quickly wrote in his booklet as he walked back to the classroom and studied till the school ended.
Homura quickly tailed Kyubey as she tries to assassinate the alien running through the abandoned building but as Kyubey jumps away from the danger, a storm of knives falls through Kyubey and his other copies.
Homura quickly backs away as Sebastian walks out of the shadow “Seems you wanna kill that…. rabbit cat thing correct?” He says as he looks at Homura.
“That is none of your business” She coldly says to him, He softly laughs “Yes but can you tell me…. Why do you keep repeating this timeline….?” He softly said to her as she pointed her Walter P5 to him.
“It is pointless to make conflict right now Akemi-san…. I’m just asking for questions…. Rather tell you to let nature do its course…” He slowly pulls out a customized knife out of his tailcoat, till he says “Let me say this once…. I’m fairly strong” He said to her as prepare himself.
“You…. What are you….?!” Homura snarls as he assumes a combat stance “Just a passing butler, Remember that!” He says as Homura starts firing at him.
He darts and hides around the pillars as Homura keeps firing at him while they didn’t notice a labyrinth slowly materializing between them, He quickly retaliates as he closes in the gap between them and starts to slash on Homura’s shield.
Sebastian slowly recoils “W-What is happening…” He said as Homura took the opportunity to quickly bash him away and shoot him in the right shoulder “I don’t have time for this….” She said as she ran away from the fight.
“What a cheap shot….” He groans as he clenches his wound. looking around him and notices some strange bud with a mustache chanting some unknown word as they approach him “This seems like a bad spot to stand around….” He bears the pain and quickly slashes the strange entities with his knife.
The strange entities slowly fell one by one as he kept slashing the entities “Conventional weapons work on these things huh?” He continues to slice through the entities as hail of bullets rains through the labyrinth, His eyes widens as quickly notices and taps his pocket watch to stop time and weave out of the hail of bullets.
The labyrinth slowly disappears and walks out of the smoke as he coughs and looks around for a way out but to his surprise, he finds Homura, Madoka and Sayaka with another girl with blonde curly hair.
“The witch got away. If you want to hunt it down then you’ll need to chase it quickly” The blonde girl said to Homura as Sebastian watched the scene, “Would it be better for us to avoid unnecessary trouble?” The blonde girl said to Homura as she glared at Kyubey in Madoka’s arm before leaving.
Sebastian notices Madoka cradling another injured Kyubey in her arm. “So there’s a lot of those things running around huh…..” The blonde haired girl quickly hears and notices his state “Oh my…. You got a bullet wound in your shoulder!” She said as she quickly approached him.
He softly smiles at him as he leans to the pillar as he bleeds “You must be the one who killed those…. Strange things huh? Quite the show you did but… please mind the rain of bullets next time” He softly laughs as he passes out from bleeding.
The blonde quickly catches him and checks his pulse “He’s alright, He’s still alive, only unconscious from blood loss it seems” the blonde girl says to Madoka and Sayaka.
“Isn’t that…. Arikado from our class?” Madoka said as she noticed his state “T-This is only the first day and we already saw both of our transfer students doing something weird!” Sayaka quickly exclaimed as the blonde girl carried Sebastian out of the building.
