Black Butler (黒執事)

Have you seen a cursed person?

'Course I 'as!

Faces swell'd up twice 'eir size an' skin all meltin'.

Se-bas-tian...

Your faces! You entered the forest, didn't you?

Wolf, the purification ritual!

Prepare the cauldron room!

Young master!

No!

Ciel... No more pain!

It's dark. Where are we?

Does that mean...

I'm scared.

I believe he has lost his sight.

Frau Sullivan, please save my young master.

If you will do that, I will follow any order you give me.

Very well.

In that case, Sebastian, until I finish healing Ciel...

you will be my butler.

My name is Sebastian, and I will temporarily be serving as Frau Sullivan's butler.

I'm Hilde.

Grete.

I'm Anne.

Finny, you look after the young master.

Right!

Wait, what?!

Right now, you're the only one who can.

Um, but, uh...

Young mistress, it's time to wake up.

Good morning, my lady.

Today's tea is a Ceylon blend by Rommeveldt.

I've never heard of Ceylon tea before.

I hope it pleases you, my lady.

It's good!

And this is the first time I've ever had a cup of tea in bed.

It's a butler's job to make sure his master wakes up refreshed.

Take note, Wolf.

Ja.

All right, Frau Sullivan. It's time to dress.

I'd like to wear clothes from the outside world today.

I beg your pardon, Frau Sullivan?

None of the clothing we have brought with us will be in my lady's size,

except for my young master's.

His will do nicely!

No, Frau, you mustn't wear male clothing. And especially not someone else's garments.

I don't see why not.

Young mistress, may I have this bedcover?

That's fine. But why?

Wh-What are you going to do with that?

I'll be back shortly.

How wonderful, Sebastian!

I'm happy I was able to please you.

How did you make all this in so little time?

That's a butler trade secret, I'm afraid.

A skilled dressmaker could do better, though.

No, I like this. It's easy to move in.

Now, young mistress...

...let's go to breakfast.

Black Butler

Emerald Witch Arc

I didn't think it would be ready so soon!

It's never like this with just Wolf.

Now, let's eat.

Wait, my lady.

One must use silverware in the right order.

O-Order?

Yes.

Silverware is arranged from outside to inside in order of usage.

When eating your salad, use the knife and fork on the outside.

I can eat with any of them, so it's all the same to me.

We shan't have that, young mistress.

It's important for a ruler to have the proper comportment.

Forgive my rudeness,

but your table manners aren't those of a refined lady.

You watch your tongue!

Doting on and spoiling a young master is not the butler's job.

I've hardened my heart so that I can say these things to Frau Sullivan

to prevent her from displaying ungraceful behaviour.

Not to mention...

It is always better to have more knowledge.

Knowledge?

That's a good point!

Teach me more things, Sebastian!

Very good, my lady.

So this one is the salad fork. What else?

Use this knife for butter.

That was great. I'm very satisfied.

Young mistress, if you're finished,

you signal this by lining up your silverware diagonally on the plate.

Interesting.

Like so?

Perfect, my lady.

What are your plans for the day?

I want to ask you more questions.

Very good, my lady.

Young mistress!

I'll still do all my duties as the Emerald Witch.

Ja.

I don't like it.

Like what?

Sebastian! The bastard looks like he doesn't even care.

He oughta be at least a little worried.

"I agree. He's cold." ...says Wilde.

What's he supposed to do, yes?

I imagine Sebastian has his reasons.

"But shouldn't a butler worry about his master at times like these?" ...says Oscar.

Interesting question.

Clearly worrying about his master isn't a butler's only job.

A butler must arrange an immaculate welcome for his master's return.

First, teach me your country's language.

English?

It's best if I can chat with Ciel while treating him, right?

Ah, of course.

This is the only usable text we have here,

but it may be a bit much for a beginner.

What is it about?

It's a collection of English home remedies.

What?

Sebastian, what is this potion?

That's an opium tincture.

"Tink-ture"?

That word has an indecent ring to it. My heart's racing.

It's a medicine used mainly for its cough suppressant and analgesic effects.

It's compounded from poppy seeds.

Oh, I know of those!

What's this?

A remedy for sore throats that involves wrapping bacon around the neck.

According to the book, bacon has powerful healing properties.

Bacon? Really? I've never heard that!

Wolf, Wolf! Fetch some bacon! I want to try it!

J-Ja.

Wolfram.

I want a word.
