Black Butler (黒執事)

Halt! This area is off-limits to civilians.

Are you calling me a civilian?

I'm very sorry, sir!

My mission is top secret. Tell no one of this.

Yes, sir!

Bah. Why must that family work people so hard?

Ah, this should be it.

Good God!

This is what he's involved himself in?!

This last bit just isn't working. What should I do?

Once I perfect the Ultimate Spell, the werewolves' anger will cease.

Then the village can live in peace,

and they can visit again.

Young mistress, it's time to sleep—

Wolf.

I've prepared what I need to do my duty.

Black Butler

Emerald Witch Arc

"It would give me great pleasure if the little witch would come to tea with me"?

She says that like it's easy.

Her selfishness is royal in scale, as befits a queen.

There's not much time before tomorrow morning.

Begin the preparations to leave. I'll give you further instructions later.

Yes, sir!

Sebastian, help me dress.

And give me a more detailed report on the information you've attained.

Of course.

And one more thing.

Bring me a morning tea that will fully wake me up.

Yes, my lord.

As a descendant of the Emerald Witch,

I shall now fulfil the contract made long ago.

O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!

Are you awake?

Wolf.

I remember... I finished the Ultimate Spell, and then I was exhausted...

Yes.

You worked hard today, young mistress.

Please, change into your nightclothes.

You're making that face again.

Do you remember the day I succeeded to the title of Emerald Witch?

I could never forget it.

Don't look so glum. I'm proud of these feet.

They prove that I'm a descendant of the great Emerald Witch.

I'm happy to have completed one of my duties as Emerald Witch today.

I don't remember the face of the predecessor who gave birth to me,

but I hope she's pleased, too.

Of course she is!

Everyone is proud of you.

But now that I've completed the spell, what do you think my next task should be?

Uh, w-well...

Oh, I know! I'll leave the forest and study lots of new things!

Then I can help the village—

You mustn't!

What?

You are the Emerald Witch, and I am your butler.

Our laws forbid us from leaving Wolfsschlucht.

You've had a long day, and you're tired. Please, go to sleep.

I'll fetch your nightdress.

All right. I'll sleep.

What's going on?

Good evening, Fräulein Sullivan.

H-How did you two get up here?

You'd die if you fell!

What's so surprising?

Aren't you a witch who can fly on a broomstick?

C-Ciel, you're back to your senses?

Yes. I owe that to you.

I wanted to thank you before we left.

You don't need to—

I see.

You want to thank me physically by arranging a feast for me on your naked body, correct?

Interesting.

No!

Actually, we've arranged to give you what you want the most.

What I want the most, you say?

To see the outside world, my lady.

The outside world?

Yes. You'll be able to gain knowledge and have experiences you could never have here.

What do you think?

B-But I'm the Emerald Witch, and the village laws say...

Ah, I see.

Well, that's that, I suppose. Sorry for suggesting something inappropriate.

You can shut the windows after us and go back to sleep.

We're like dreams, after all. Gone before morning.

Danke, Freund. Tschüß.

I-I'll go with you.

I want to know more!

In that case, young mistress, please change your clothes.

A debutante needs to be formally attired for her first steps into a new world.

Your hand, please.

We'll escort you into the unknown.

I say, where are we going?

These stairs don't lead outside. They lead further into the Emerald Castle.

The outside world lies ahead.

Don't tell me you two went in—

If you speak too loudly, the werewolves will notice us.

Is this a magic circle?

Completing this magic circle must have been the Emerald Witch's duty, correct?
