Black Butler (黒執事)

Think carefully... Should you reject the faith even this

once, the gates of Paradise will forever be out of your reach.

Do you think...one who was among the faithful...

would ever go so far as to summon someone like you?

I'll ask but once more... Do you wish to form a contract with me?

I do...! Now, stop asking these tedious questions,

and let me know if we have a deal!

Master... It is time for you to wake up.

For breakfast today, we have a lightly poached salmon

accompanied by a delicate mint salad. I can also offer

toast, scones, or pan de com pahn yah...

Which dish would you care for this morning?

A scone.

Today you have a meeting with Mr. Hughes, the authority on

the history of the Roman Empire... and this evening,

Mr. Damiano of the Poseidon Company

will be paying you a visit.

Oh... Is that the man I have in charge of stuffed animals

at my factory in India?

Yes. I'm told he's Italian... We will, of course,

offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide.

I know this smell... Is this tea Earl Grey?

Yes... from Jackson's of Piccadilly.

I shall wait for you at the dining table, master.

Well thrown, my lord. Even so... let's save the games for later.

Yes... I suppose you're right, Sebastian.

My butler is an able man.

Ow, ow, ow, ow! What was that for, Master...? What did I do?

Nothing... I don't need to justify my actions.

There you are. Have you finished weeding the courtyard, Finny?

Mey Rin... have you washed all the bedding?

Um, well...

Bardroy... shouldn't you be preparing for tonight's dinner?

Mr. Tanaka...

Well... I suppose you're all right as you are.

Now all of you...We have no time for thumb twiddling

this morning... So get to work!

Yes, Sir!

Simply hopeless.

The silver is polished to a spotless shine.

The tablecloth is crisp, clean, and wrinkle free...

There is not a single bruised blossom among Master's

favorite white roses. And finally,

the highest quality ingredients have been gathered to prepare

a first-rate dinner.

The table is perfection...

This will be an elegant Phantomhive welcome.

Still so much to do, and he calls me now?

A guest is comin'? All right, then this is our chance...

Sebastian looks down on us all the time...

today we'll be so perfect, he won't even know

what hit him. Yeah, that's what he's gonna say!

AAAH!

That's for him to say, not you.

Ooh! That's a good idea!

Right, we have to stop relyin' on Sebastian for everything.

It's settled, then. We got a plan of attack!

Let's get to it!

I'm a bit hungry... I'd like something sweet to eat.

You shouldn't eat now, Master... You don't want to spoil

your appetite for dinner with your guest this evening.

I don't care about that... Make me a parfait.

I'm sorry, sir.

Fine then... about the portrait in the hallway...

Yes?

Take it down.

I am Ciel Phantomhive, son of Vincent

and I am the head of the house now.

Consider it done, my lord.

Now...

How exactly... Did this... Happen?

I thought things would go faster if I used

extra-strength weed-killer on the garden!

I was trying to reach the tea set we use for guests,

but I tripped and the cabinet fell!

There was a lot of meat to be cooked for dinner,

and it was going to take a long time...

so, uh, I used me flame thrower.

We're so sorry! We didn't mean to!

Our guest will arrive just after six. At most, we have

two hours left. Not enough time to replace the tea set

or find premium meats. What should I do?

Calm down, all of you. Perhaps you should try taking

a page out of Tanaka's book and start behaving like--

Everyone... listen closely and do exactly as I say,

understand? We must be quick about this.

We might save this night yet.

How impressive!

Hello. Welcome, sir.

This is called a stone garden...

It is a traditional feature in Japan.

Ah, prodigioso...! Wonderful. Truly, an elegant garden.

We thought it appropriate to serve dinner

al fresco this evening...

Allow me to escort you inside until the meal is ready.

I should have expected this from a Phantomhive.

I cannot wait to see what else is in store.

Whew, we actually did it!

Who would have thought a dozen bags of gravel

could turn into an amazing garden?!

Naturally we were able to handle this...

We serve the Phantomhive family, after all. There's still

work to be done... Let's take care of it while the master

is talking business with his guest... Look sharp, now.

Right!

The progress we've been making with the East India factory

is quite astonishing...

We already have the makings of a top-notch staff.

"Bewitched by the eyes of the dead." What terrible luck...

It appears I lose a turn.

Right now is the perfect time... We should begin expanding

the company and building a strong labor f--

Go on. It's your turn.

Oh, yes... I just spin this, then?

Okay, there. Five spaces... Now, what I wanted to ask you...

Perhaps you could contribute another 12,000 pounds

to support our expansion? I believe it would be

quite a profitable venture for you, my lord...

and I would consider it an honor to help expand

the Funtom Company into--

"Lose a leg in the enchanted forest."

Huh?

And it's your turn again... I lost a turn, remember?

Oh... I see...

Right... I move six.

You don't... That's three.

What? But...

You lost a leg, if you'll recall.

Now you only move half the number of spaces.

Oh my... This is a gruesome board game, isn't it...?

Is there no way for me to restore my leg, then?

I'm afraid once something is truly lost, sir...

That one can never get it back again.

"Your body is burnt by raging flames."

How is it going?

I'm doin' it like you said to... This really what you want?

Yes... that looks excellent.

Sebastian! Found em!

Oh, honestly... How many times have I told you

not to run inside the manor, Mey Rin?

I'm so sorry, sir...! My glasses cracked,

and I can't see a thing!

These are the last items we needed for dinner.

Splendid work, everyone... And now, I believe you can

leave the rest of it to me and relax for a bit...

But I need you to do well--Very well--during dinner tonight.

He said it twice.

Ooo, that's serious.

Pardon the interruption, but dinner is served.

Ooh... dining out in that exquisite stone garden...

Shall we go, my lord?

Very well. We'll finish the game later

Oh... Is there any real need to finish it?
