**[00:18] ---**
Good morning, young master.
**[00:26] ---**
This aroma... Earl Grey?
**[00:29] ---**
Yes. This morning's tea is a
Mariage Frères Earl Grey Impérial.
**[00:36] ---**
It's a masterpiece of the highest
order, made of only the finest leaves.
**[00:42] ---**
I believe it's perfect for you.
**[00:49] ---**
Today's schedule is a
fresh field of virgin snow
**[00:53] ---**
which no one shall be trampling on.
**[00:55] ---**
Everything shall go exactly
as you wish it, young master.
**[00:59] ---**
Where is Alois?
**[01:00] ---**
Whatever do you mean by that?
Alois Trancy was felled by your sword.
**[01:06] ---**
Mine?
**[01:07] ---**
Does it pain you, young master?
**[01:09] ---**
He died because he was weak, that's all.
**[01:14] ---**
*Oh, the beauty of such
an unwavering assertion!*
**[01:19] ---**
*Here is the nobility and tyranny
of one who has subjugated others*
**[01:22] ---**
*all his life by right of birth.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Here are the legs of one who
rarely walks on his own power,*
**[01:30] ---**
*so slender they could hardly be steady.*
**[01:33] ---**
*Smooth, soft skin...*
**[01:36] ---**
Bliss.
**[01:44] ---**
What was that?
**[01:46] ---**
Surely nothing serious. A cat, perhaps?
**[01:48] ---**
That was too loud to be a cat.
**[01:50] ---**
Strengthen this mansion's defenses!
**[01:53] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[01:59] ---**
Don't be revolting!
**[02:02] ---**
Another wave of bliss!
**[02:11] ---**
Really, now.
**[02:12] ---**
I'll go have a look. Hannah!
Guard the young master.
**[02:17] ---**
Of course.
**[02:27] ---**
It seems a storm has come.
**[02:32] ---**
Have no fear, little bird.
**[02:35] ---**
The young master told *it
*to stay out of his sight.
**[02:38] ---**
There's nothing *it* can do.
**[02:45] ---**
Sweetbriars, eh?
**[02:48] ---**
Little bird, don't you
think a pretty flower like this
**[02:51] ---**
is sure to suit the young master?
**[02:54] ---**
Yes, it would suit *my young master*.
**[03:07] ---**
Oh, it's too much!
**[03:09] ---**
He's just too delicious!
**[03:13] ---**
This lovelorn Sebas-*chan* drives me *wild*!
**[03:18] ---**
I'm so glad I let that "Claude" demon go.
**[03:22] ---**
Just look at this *gem* of a photo!
**[03:26] ---**
Oh, no, what's this?! Not now, not *now*!
**[03:34] ---**
Sebas-*chan*! When did you get here?!
**[03:36] ---**
I might ask you the same thing.
**[03:39] ---**
C-Can I take one more?
**[03:42] ---**
Mm, very photogenic--ah!
**[03:49] ---**
*Tatoe owaru koto no nai

"Zero Butler"
**[05:33] ---**
Er...
**[05:35] ---**
Seeing you making tea just for me...
**[05:40] ---**
I'm happy, of course! Truly! But, um...
**[05:45] ---**
This is Suutei Tsai, a Mongolian
milk tea flavored with rock salt.
**[05:49] ---**
Rock salt?!
**[05:50] ---**
I'm sure it will be wonderfully stimulating
**[05:53] ---**
to feel the sting of the
salt in your fresh wounds.
**[05:55] ---**
Just for you, I've doubled
the amount in the recipe.
**[05:59] ---**
And then doubled it again.
**[06:02] ---**
On second thought, I...
**[06:04] ---**
Drink up.
**[06:11] ---**
Th-The stimulation of
love is just too exquisite!
**[06:19] ---**
I see, so Claude murdered
Alois Trancy there.
**[06:24] ---**
Yes. His next idea was
a soul-infusing ceremony.
**[06:29] ---**
Two souls can never completely fuse.
**[06:32] ---**
But memories can be overwritten!
**[06:35] ---**
Then right now, Alois Trancy is...
**[06:37] ---**
He's the same as your young master.
**[06:40] ---**
He's been turned into a ring.
**[06:42] ---**
Darker than blood, and
more crimson than passion.
**[06:48] ---**
At any rate, I can't understand it.
**[06:51] ---**
Why be so fixated on some brat's soul?
**[06:54] ---**
Why not make a quicker, simpler meal?
**[07:00] ---**
You sound like someone else I know.
**[07:02] ---**
I imagine that demon's slack, fatuous face
**[07:07] ---**
will give you your answer.
**[07:14] ---**
*Perfectly uniform, close-fitting teeth*
**[07:17] ---**
*like a row of fresh young skulls...*
**[07:19] ---**
*Close-fitting, tight, enchanting.*
**[07:26] ---**
Don't gag me!
**[07:27] ---**
My apologies, my lord, I got carried away.
**[07:30] ---**
You're such a poor excuse for a butler!
Sebastian would never make such a--
**[07:38] ---**
Your contract with that demon chains you
**[07:42] ---**
and ever so slightly dulls
the snow-white of your canines.
**[07:47] ---**
The enemy you have long
sought is called Sebastian Michaelis.
**[07:52] ---**
I know.
**[07:54] ---**
Unloose your fetters
and sign a contract with me.
**[07:57] ---**
Then we shall get revenge on that demon--
**[08:00] ---**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm only here because I don't want
to go back to that wretched manor.
**[08:08] ---**
I can get my revenge on
Sebastian without *you* helping--
**[08:11] ---**
Can you?
**[08:13] ---**
You're up against a demon.
**[08:17] ---**
You needn't give your answer right away.
**[08:23] ---**
In this mansion, even time itself
is tangled up in the spider's web.
**[08:38] ---**
*He is so proud... A truly reckless,
truly defenseless soul.*
**[08:48] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive's soul is a fine one.
**[08:52] ---**
*A truly fine one*!
**[09:00] ---**
S-Sebas-*chan*...
**[09:02] ---**
Let's go, Grell.
**[09:04] ---**
Oh, so sorry, I have an
appointment with my hairdresser--
**[09:13] ---**
D-Dreamy!
**[09:16] ---**
Ah! Camera, camera... Now, pose!
**[09:19] ---**
I plan to strike approximately
eight more attractive poses today.
**[09:25] ---**
I can't pass this up! I'm on
fire for the attractive poses!
**[09:33] ---**
Thompson and company.
**[09:37] ---**
You three get that demon.
**[09:45] ---**
*I don't understand it.*
**[09:50] ---**
*Why does that man call me "young master"?*
**[09:54] ---**
*Is Alois really dead?*
**[09:57] ---**
*Did I really kill him?*
**[10:00] ---**
*Why would Sebastian...?*
**[10:14] ---**
Young master!
**[10:19] ---**
It's all right, my lord. Please thrash me.
**[10:23] ---**
As many times as you like,
if that will relieve your feelings.
**[10:28] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[10:30] ---**
Your eye...
**[10:32] ---**
Honestly, this manor is filled with freaks!
**[10:43] ---**
Are you planning to take a nap there?
**[11:13] ---**
Here...
**[11:16] ---**
Ugh, what is this gloom?
**[11:19] ---**
But it's not bad! Sebas-*chan
*nude among the ruins... not bad!
**[11:23] ---**
In fact--
**[11:26] ---**
Care for a taste, guv?
**[11:31] ---**
Just fooling. It's been far
too long, I can't manage it.
**[11:35] ---**
Got cobwebs down there.
**[11:39] ---**
Welcome to the cursed
village of Arachnophile.
**[11:44] ---**
I thought this place had
been burned completely away.
**[11:47] ---**
What are you doing alive?
**[11:49] ---**
Yes, I'm the only one who was saved...
**[11:53] ---**
By a demon.
**[11:59] ---**
He's filthy!
**[12:00] ---**
Try kicking him here!
**[12:05] ---**
You shouldn't bully the weak!
**[12:07] ---**
Ugh, it's the ugly slut who
tricks people with makeup!
**[12:08] ---**
She stinks!
**[12:09] ---**
Shut it, you! For goodness' sake...
**[12:15] ---**
I'm not weak.
**[12:19] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
That's right, you're tough!
**[12:24] ---**
You look good out there, kid.
**[12:25] ---**
Yeah! After all, I promised my brother!
**[12:29] ---**
I won't lose to them!
**[12:32] ---**
Everyone, everything, all gone!
Everyone, everything, all gone!
**[12:37] ---**
But I'll give you a free ticket, lady!
**[12:42] ---**
Everyone minus one!
**[12:44] ---**
What?
**[12:45] ---**
I made a contract!
**[12:48] ---**
With a demon.
**[12:49] ---**
That boy told me he'd
signed a contract with a demon
**[12:53] ---**
to make his beloved big
brother's wish come true.
**[12:56] ---**
In exchange for his
own soul, you know?
**[12:59] ---**
At first, I thought it was
just some children's story.
**[13:03] ---**
But...
**[13:14] ---**
That day, everything
he said came true.
**[13:28] ---**
I was the only one who survived,
and I've managed on my own somehow...
**[13:34] ---**
But that's all over now, too--
**[13:44] ---**
Here we go.
**[13:46] ---**
What?
**[13:50] ---**
Oh, no, I let the second
handsome pose go to waste!
**[13:55] ---**
I swear I'll get the next one!
**[14:03] ---**
Ah, things are heating up nicely!
**[14:07] ---**
Those spry limbs!
**[14:10] ---**
Oh, he dodged! Look out, darling!
**[14:13] ---**
Look at that cruel gaze!
**[14:16] ---**
Those ankles peeking out from
under the cuffs of his trousers!
**[14:21] ---**
He's simply tossing out
the poses right and left!
**[14:28] ---**
Drat, it's over already?
**[14:31] ---**
Now, Grell. The death scythe.
**[14:33] ---**
Hmm? Why don't you
just finish them off?
**[14:37] ---**
Please.
**[14:38] ---**
What?
**[14:39] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan*, you always do this...
**[14:44] ---**
What a hot day it is.
**[15:14] ---**
Well, what do you know?
So that's what happened.
**[15:17] ---**
There's just no accounting for demons.
**[15:20] ---**
It's essentially what I'd expected.
**[15:22] ---**
It is?
**[15:24] ---**
However...
**[15:35] ---**
*That*, I did not expect.
**[15:39] ---**
S-Sebas-*chan*, you're
demon-ing! You're demon-ing!
**[15:43] ---**
That will do.
**[15:46] ---**
I'll use the spiders'
threads you fancy so much.
**[15:54] ---**
Grotesque...
**[15:56] ---**
I can't stand for people putting
their grubby fingers all over my dinner.
**[16:00] ---**
Sebas-*chan*, wait!
**[16:02] ---**
You still have two handsome poses left!
**[16:09] ---**
He's fast.
**[16:11] ---**
Young master.
**[16:15] ---**
What's the matter?
**[16:17] ---**
I thought I saw Alois in the mirror.
**[16:21] ---**
Are you hurt, young master?
**[16:23] ---**
No.
**[16:25] ---**
Hannah! Clean this up.
**[16:27] ---**
I'll take the young master
to his bedchamber and--
**[16:29] ---**
You clean up here.
**[16:31] ---**
Young master...?
**[16:32] ---**
Come along, Hannah.
**[16:42] ---**
"Come along, Hannah"...
**[16:48] ---**
Young master...
**[16:49] ---**
What was that, I wonder?
**[16:53] ---**
I hate this mansion. I want to go home.
**[16:56] ---**
To the Phantomhive manor?
**[16:59] ---**
No, I want to go back to the way things were.
**[17:03] ---**
Your eye is such a strange color.
**[17:08] ---**
Nostalgic, somehow...
**[17:11] ---**
Young master.
**[17:15] ---**
Watch closely.
**[17:25] ---**
*What is this?!*
**[17:27] ---**
*I can... see myself...*
**[17:33] ---**
*I'm suffering.*
**[17:35] ---**
*I'm watching me?*
**[17:37] ---**
*Why?*
**[17:38] ---**
*Why… is that eye my...*
**[17:49] ---**
Yes. This is your eye...
**[17:54] ---**
...Master.
**[18:08] ---**
This is a surprise. Just when
I thought you were only spying on us,
**[18:11] ---**
you waltz through the front door.
**[18:13] ---**
The young master
ordered me out of his sight.
**[18:17] ---**
It's certainly no violation
if only you see me.
**[18:26] ---**
I came today to return this to you.
**[18:42] ---**
This is a surprise.
**[18:45] ---**
A demon, terminating a contract?
**[18:51] ---**
You broke it first.
**[18:54] ---**
We swore to defer our battle
over the young master's soul
**[18:59] ---**
until it attained its ultimate state
after he completed his revenge.
**[19:02] ---**
Our agreement was to
use each other until then.
**[19:08] ---**
These spider mites discolor the leaves.
**[19:14] ---**
I regret to say that my
black rose was infested.
**[19:25] ---**
Now both roses are dead.
**[19:28] ---**
The contract is terminated.
**[19:31] ---**
I aim to devour Ciel Phantomhive's soul.
**[19:37] ---**
But I no longer do it merely to sample
the "ultimate flavor" you speak of!
**[19:43] ---**
Yes, there's more to it than that.
**[19:46] ---**
Demons have eternal life.
**[19:49] ---**
We've grown weary of
living so long... far too long.
**[19:54] ---**
My young master's presence lends
spice to the world we're glutted on.
**[20:00] ---**
His soul dwells in darkness,
yet remains unstained by it.
**[20:04] ---**
It's vexed us, tantalized us,
driven us mad. And now...
**[20:08] ---**
To think it's even given us this
fight between demon and demon!
**[20:23] ---**
The young master is mine now.
**[20:26] ---**
You're awfully confident for someone
who hasn't signed a contract with him!
**[20:30] ---**
And once I manage that,
**[20:33] ---**
*I'll*never let go of him for a moment.
**[20:44] ---**
This weapon is a bit small to cut
off your seal and your arm with it--
**[20:50] ---**
but I'm sure I can twist the contract
between you, just as I did that day.
**[20:57] ---**
Sebastian!
**[21:01] ---**
Sebastian!
**[21:08] ---**
Sebastian!
**[21:09] ---**
Young master...
**[21:15] ---**
You're being summoned.
**[21:17] ---**
Which means he's noticed
you. You've been seen!
**[21:22] ---**
Disobedient little Sebastian
Michaelis, you're no longer a butler!
**[21:29] ---**
Sebastian, help me!
**[21:32] ---**
Help me, Sebastian!
**[21:36] ---**
If you don't, I'll climb all the way up!
**[21:39] ---**
I'll climb, and climb...
**[21:43] ---**
...and climb, Sebastian!
**[21:47] ---**
I'll climb this thing.
**[21:49] ---**
Straight to the top, Sebastian.
**[21:55] ---**
It would seem
I haven't broken orders yet.
**[22:01] ---**
That is not my young master.
**[22:03] ---**
No. That's...
**[22:05] ---**
My master, Alois Trancy.
**[22:13] ---**
Here I am.
**[22:18] ---**
I'll fall! I'll fall off, Sebastian!
**[22:27] ---**
I'll fall off of here!
**[22:40] ---**

**[24:19] ---**
*Ah, the alarm is ringing.*
**[24:21] ---**
*I must go wake him up at once.*
