[00:02] Wolfram
    We've arrived.
[00:04] Wolfram
    This is the Emerald Castle.
[00:55] Sign
    Black Butler
[00:57] Sign
    Emerald Witch Arc
[02:13] Finnian
    Yay, unknown flowers!
    I've never seen these before!
[02:17] Sullivan
    Be careful.
[02:18] Sullivan
    Those are poisonous. Your fingers
    will swell up if you touch one.
[02:22] Finnian
    Right!
[02:39] Wolfram
    This way.
[02:45] Sebastian
    Wait there.
[02:47] Mey-Rin; Finnian
    Right!
[02:47] Baldroy
    Sure.
[02:55] Sullivan
    I haven't had guests in ages.
    I'll treat you to dinner.
[02:59] Sebastian
    You are most kind.
[03:03] Sullivan
    Wolfram, prepare dinner and
    show the servants to their rooms.
[03:07] Wolfram
    Ja.
[03:17] Ciel
    My theory was correct.
[03:20] Ciel
    Her feet are so tiny
    because they were bound.
[03:24] Ciel
    Lau told me about foot-binding once.
[03:26] Ciel
    Tightly binding a girl's feet from
    a young age to decrease their size
[03:31] Ciel
    is a custom unique to China, he said.
[03:35] Ciel
    Why do it in Germany?
[03:37] Ciel
    And why was it practiced on the local ruler?
[03:41] Sullivan
    You there.
[03:44] Ciel
    Me?
[03:45] Sebastian
    I'm sorry. My young master hasn't
     quite mastered German yet.
[03:52] Sullivan
    I see.
[04:12] Ciel
    Oi, say something, will you?
    Conversing with women is your specialty.
[04:16] Sebastian
    What would you have me say?
[04:23] Sullivan
    That is the body's signal
    to encourage you to eat.
[04:27] Ciel
    She's not shy about how loud that was?
[04:30] Sebastian
    Wolfram is taking quite a while.
    Could something have happened?
[04:34] Sullivan
    He is taking longer than usual, yes.
[04:37] Sebastian
    May I go take a look in the kitchen?
[04:40] Sullivan
    Very well.
[04:41] Sebastian
    Then, please excuse me for a few minutes.
[04:43] Ciel
    What? Wait—
[04:45] Ciel
    What?! How do you expect me
    to interact with her by myself?
[04:52] Ciel
    This is awkward.
[04:54] Sign
    Hey, you.
[04:56] Sign
    ××× black hair ×× man ×× name?
[04:59] Ciel
    Um...
[05:01] Ciel
    Wait. I can actually make out
    the key words if I don't panic.
[05:06] Ciel
    "Black hair" and "man."
    Does she mean Sebastian?
[05:10] Sign
    Sebastian, I, butler. You understand?
[05:17] Ciel
    I communicated!
[05:19] Sign
    Where ××× ××× parents?
[05:20] Ciel
    My parents?
[05:23] Sign
    Parents... gone. Dead.
[05:30] Sign
    Hmm.
[05:32] Ciel
    Come back, Sebastian!
[05:43] Sebastian
    Pardon my intrusion.
[05:45] Wolfram
    What do you want?
[05:47] Sebastian
    Dinner seems to be taking a while,
    so I wanted to offer my assist—
[05:53] Wolfram
    That won't be necessary.
[05:54] Wolfram
    I've just finished measuring the
    ingredients according to the book.
[05:57] Sebastian
    I-I see.
[05:59] Sebastian
    Still, Fräulein Sullivan claims to be
    extremely hungry. Perhaps it's best to hurry.
[06:07] Wolfram
    My young mistress?
[06:09] Wolfram
    Then I won't argue. Please assist me.
[06:12] Sebastian
    Of course.
[06:14] Wolfram
    I'll make Maultaschen.
    Could you knead the bread dough?
[06:19] Sebastian
    Eh?
[06:20] Wolfram
    What is it?
[06:21] Sebastian
    Nothing. Leave it to me.
[06:26] Sebastian
    Wouldn't one normally knead the dough first,
[06:29] Sebastian
    then work on the rest of the menu
    while the bread bakes?
[06:34] Sebastian
    Pardon me, but is the soup ready?
[06:37] Wolfram
    No, I plan to make it when we're done with this.
    Doing it all at once confuses matters.
[06:43] Sebastian
    If I may be so bold,
    could I help with that, too?
[06:47] Wolfram
    Hmm? All right.
[06:49] Sebastian
    I thought those three had
    inured me to human foibles,
[06:53] Sebastian
    but he seems to be a new type.
[06:56] Sebastian
    He makes every effort possible,
    yet only achieves maximum inefficiency.
[07:02] Sebastian
    I never imagined someone would complete
    each dish before starting on the next.
[07:07] Sebastian
    Dinner will be a midnight affair at this rate.
[07:10] Baldroy
    Hiya, Sebastian. Want us to help with—
[07:12] Sebastian
    No, thank you.
[07:14] Sebastian
    You must be exhausted from the trip.
[07:16] Sebastian
    Please just relax and
    don't do anything unnecessary.
[07:21] Mey-Rin
    Sebastian, you're so kind, yes!
[07:25] Sebastian
    And now...
[07:27] Sebastian
    To work.
[07:30] Sebastian
    Maultaschen, Bratwurst soup, and Eisbein.
[07:35] Sebastian
    Dessert will be a nice rote Grütze.
[07:39] Sullivan
    Well, this is quite...
[07:42] Sullivan
    ...an excellent meal. Well done, Wolf.
[07:46] Wolfram
    Well, um... his butler helped.
[07:51] Sebastian
    You're hosting us for the night.
     It was only proper.
[07:55] Sebastian
    A Phantomhive butler who can't provide
    this level of assistance isn't worth his salt.
[08:01] Sullivan
    Let's try it.
[08:05] Sullivan
    Delicious!
[08:07] Sullivan
    I've never had such soft bread!
[08:12] Ciel
    Wh-What table manners.
[08:14] Sebastian
    She doesn't believe in putting on airs, I see.
[08:19] Hilde
    Herr Wolfram, emergency!
[08:21] Wolfram
    What's wrong, Hilde?
[08:26] Hilde
    A...
[08:28] Hilde
    A werewolf has appeared.
[08:36] Ciel
    A werewolf?
[08:37] Hilde
    A woman has been terribly hurt.
    Fräulein Sullivan, please help her.
[08:41] Sullivan
    I'll go now.
[08:42] Sullivan
    Wolf!
[08:43] Wolfram
    Ja.
[08:46] Wolfram
    You two stay here.
[08:48] Sebastian
    No, please allow us to come with you.
[08:50] Sebastian
    We'd like to know what threats
    the forest holds before we go home.
[09:03] Wolfram
    Clear the way!
[09:05] Village woman A
    Fräulein Sullivan!
[09:07] Village woman B
    Fräulein Sullivan, please help!
[09:13] Sullivan
    Th-These wounds are...
[09:17] Sullivan
    No werewolf has ever attacked
    someone from this village before.
[09:22] Wolfram
    Young mistress, stop the bleeding!
[09:25] Sullivan
    This will hurt a bit.
[09:37] Sullivan
    Where's your talisman?
[09:38] Village woman 1
    Sh-She left it behind, since she only
    intended to pick some herbs nearby.
[09:42] Sullivan
    The fool!
[09:43] Sullivan
    How many times have I told you to
    always keep your talismans with you?
[09:47] Wolfram
    It may still be nearby. Light more torches!
[09:50] Villagers
    Right!
[09:51] Villager
    Hurry!
[09:57] Ciel
    What's going on here?
[09:59] Ciel
    Don't tell me there truly are
    werewolves in the forest?
[10:02] Ciel
    Certainly not.
[10:05] Ciel
    What do you think?
[10:06] Sebastian
    I can't come to any conclusions
    from the wounds alone.
[10:09] Sebastian
    Shall I search the forest right away?
[10:12] Ciel
    No, stay. Don't make any suspicious moves yet.
[10:16] Crone
    It's Herr Werwolf's wrath!
[10:19] Crone
    He is enraged that outsiders
    have intruded on the forest!
[10:24] Crone
    Leave at once, outsiders!
[10:26] Sullivan
    It's because she wasn't carrying her talisman!
     She wouldn't have been attacked otherwise!
[10:31] Crone
    No werewolf has ever
    personally injured any of us before.
[10:37] Crone
    You defend the outsiders, Emerald Witch?
[10:42] Crone
    Do not forget the countless atrocities
[10:44] Crone
    that outsiders inflicted on
    our ancestors, Emerald Witch.
[10:48] Crone
    Never trust anyone from the outside.
[10:51] Crone
    You must never forget your ancestors' grudge!
[10:54] Crone
    You must never forget your gratitude
    and dread of Herr Werwolf!
[10:57] Sullivan
    But I—
[10:59] Crone
    Foolish outsiders.
    Herr Werwolf's rage is your fault.
[11:04] Crone
    All of this is your fault.
[11:07] Crone
    Your fault! Yours!
[11:12] Crone
    Leave now, unless you want him
    to tear you limb from limb!
[11:26] Wolfram
    Stay in your homes until morning!
[11:29] Wolfram
    I assume you understand now?
[11:32] Wolfram
    If you value your lives,
    don't go into the forest uninvited.
[11:35] Wolfram
    Ever.
[11:47] Ciel
    Make it strong. We may be up all night.
[11:50] Sebastian
    Very good, my lord.
[12:04] Sebastian
    In that case, please have it plain.
[12:12] Ciel
    I didn't expect there
    to truly be werewolf victims.
[12:16] Ciel
    But that was different from what Chlaus—
[12:31] Ciel
    You?
[12:35] Sebastian
    My goodness, Fräulein Sullivan.
    You came alone, without your servant?
[12:41] Sullivan
    I-I can walk by myself with these
    Hexenballons. At least in the castle.
[12:47] Sebastian
    I see.
[12:51] Sebastian
    Still...
[12:53] Sebastian
    It's not becoming of a lady to eavesdrop
     outside a gentleman's room.
[12:59] Sebastian
    May I ask your business here?
[13:02] Sullivan
    My business? You're the ones
    who have business with me.
[13:08] Ciel
    What?
[13:10] Sullivan
    I know full well what you're after.
     I am a witch, you know.
[13:15] Sebastian
    Oh? Then, I imagine you know what to do next.
[13:21] Sebastian
    We'd rather not treat you roughly.
[13:27] Sullivan
    From the moment you entered the village,
[13:31] Sullivan
    I knew you would violate the secret room
    I've kept tightly locked all of my 11 years tonight.
[13:41] Sullivan
    I mentally prepared myself,
    but my heart won't stop racing.
[13:45] Sullivan
    Here!
[13:49] Sullivan
    I didn't think my first time would be a threesome,
     but all experience is valuable.
[13:54] Sullivan
    Please be as gentle as possible.
[13:56] Ciel
    Wh-What?!
[13:59] Sullivan
    Oh, you must be worried
    my clothes are too complicated.
[14:03] Sullivan
    Start with the buttons—
[14:04] Ciel
    No, stop. What are you doing?
[14:08] Sullivan
    Ah, you like conquering the citadel yourself?
[14:12] Sullivan
    You're manlier than you look.
[14:13] Ciel
    What are you saying?!
[14:15] Sebastian
    She asks if you'd prefer to be
    the one to take her dress off.
[14:19] Ciel
    Now what are you saying?!
[14:20] Sullivan
    Oh, you like doing it fully clothed?
[14:23] Sebastian
    Ah, young master, you have
    interesting preferences for your age.
[14:26] Ciel
    I may not know much German,
    but I do know there's been a misunderstanding!
[14:31] Sullivan
    Don't tell me you're...
[14:38] Sullivan
    Well, you're male, at least.
[14:41] Ciel
    Sod off!
[14:49] Sebastian
    A-Are you all right, Fräulein Sullivan?
[14:56] Sullivan
    It's beyond boorish to shame
    a young maiden like that!
[14:59] Ciel
    Eh?! I said I'm not fluent in German, you harlot!
[15:03] Sebastian
    Now, now, you two.
[15:07] Sebastian
    Enjoying yourselves in bed
     is a fine way to spend time,
[15:11] Sebastian
    but perhaps you'd prefer
     to enjoy these for now?
[15:20] Sullivan
    I've read that the male of a species
    has carnal appetites that are never sated.
[15:27] Sebastian
    Well, that is true of some men.
[15:31] Sullivan
    Wolfsschlucht only has female residents,
[15:34] Sullivan
    so I've never actually met a man before.
[15:36] Sebastian
    Isn't Wolfram a man?
[15:40] Sullivan
    He's more like my guard dog.
[15:42] Sebastian
    I see.
[15:44] Sebastian
    Speaking of dogs, the villagers all seem
    rather afraid of someone called "Herr Werwolf."
[15:51] Sebastian
    What does that term refer to?
[15:57] Sullivan
    Have you heard of witch hunts?
[15:59] Sebastian
    Yes.
[16:01] Sullivan
    Long ago, witches were accused
     of causing various calamities.
[16:05] Sullivan
    They were subjected to a form of torture
    called a "witch trial," then killed.
[16:09] Sullivan
    The torture instruments you saw
     in the square are from that time.
[16:14] Sullivan
    A witch's true occupation is
    to prevent disasters with magic,
[16:19] Sullivan
    and heal people with herbs.
[16:21] Sullivan
    But they were branded as heretics and oppressed
    by humans more and more as time went on,
[16:27] Sullivan
    until they fled for their lives
     into this forest.
[16:31] Sullivan
    Legend has it that to protect the others,
[16:36] Sullivan
    one witch made a pact with a werewolf,
    offering him her own legs.
[16:44] Sullivan
    That was my ancestor,
    who was known as the Emerald Witch.
[16:52] Sullivan
    That's why each successive ruler's feet
     are bound until she can't walk.
[16:57] Ciel
    Why did a werewolf attack a villager, then?
     Doesn't that violate the pact?
[17:03] Sullivan
    It's been hundreds of years
    since that pact was formed.
[17:08] Sullivan
    The original Emerald Witch died long ago.
[17:12] Sullivan
    I imagine this happened because
    our blood has diluted over the years.
[17:16] Sebastian
    In other words,
[17:18] Sebastian
    this village is no longer protected
    by werewolves, but imprisoned by them.
[17:26] Sullivan
    Perhaps so.
[17:29] Sullivan
    Thanks to that, I've never left
     this village in my life,
[17:34] Sullivan
    and I don't think I ever will.
[17:37] Sullivan
    You are going home tomorrow, correct?
[17:41] Sullivan
    I'd like you to tell me about the outside
    world first. About the world I don't know.
[17:47] Sebastian
    It seems her actions earlier sprang from
    an eagerness to become friendly with us.
[17:54] Sebastian
    She is all-important in this village.
[17:57] Sebastian
    Wouldn't making friends with her
    also benefit our investigation?
[18:02] Ciel
    All right, fine.
[18:07] Sign
    Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
[18:16] Sebastian
    In my young master's country,
    people shake hands to grow closer.
[18:21] Sebastian
    Like this.
[18:25] Sullivan
    Oh, that reminds me. These are for you two.
[18:30] Sullivan
    Talismans to ward off werewolves.
[18:31] Sullivan
    Wear them on your way home.
    I give you special permission.
[18:34] Ciel
    Thank you.
[18:36] Sullivan
    N-Now then!
[18:38] Sullivan
    You should teach me what you meant
     by "enjoying ourselves in bed."
[18:44] Sebastian
    Ah, yes, I do recall saying that.
[18:47] Sebastian
    What shall we do, young master?
[18:50] Ciel
    She's a child. We'll do nothing of the sort.
[18:53] Ciel
    Have her play with some toys.
[18:55] Sebastian
    The young master would
     like to introduce toys.
[18:57] Sullivan
    What?! That's rather daring for a first time.
[19:00] Ciel
    What was that reaction?
    Clearly there's been a misunderstanding!
[19:14] Ciel
    Sh-She's finally asleep.
[19:16] Sebastian
    You worked hard today.
[19:18] Ciel
    Simple words allow one to make
    more conversation than I thought.
[19:22] Ciel
    And it's easier to understand her accent
    than the coachman's, somehow.
[19:26] Sebastian
    I'm sure it is.
[19:32] Wolfram
    Pardon my young mistress's intrusion.
[19:35] Sebastian
    She just fell asleep.
[19:49] Wolfram
    Forget whatever she said to you.
[19:52] Wolfram
    You'll leave at dawn.
[19:55] Wolfram
    Understood?
[20:12] Ciel
    What thick fog.
[20:13] Sebastian
    Watch your step.
[20:18] Sebastian
    It's too quiet. I can't sense any animals.
[20:22] Sebastian
    I've never felt air this heavy, either.
[20:26] Sebastian
    Young master, stay by my—
[20:30] Sebastian
    Young master?!
[20:33] Ciel
    Why am I crying?
[20:35] Sebastian
    What in the world is the matter?
[20:36] Sebastian
    Ah, you mustn't rub your eyes so much.
[20:39] Ciel
    I don't know where the tears
     are coming from.
[20:42] Ciel
    Blast.
[20:47] Ciel
    A-A werewolf?
[20:50] Ciel
    Let's follow, Sebastian!
[20:51] Sebastian
    Wait, my lord!
[20:53] Sebastian
    Something is off about this forest.
[20:55] Sebastian
    I have a feeling of foreboding.
[20:57] Sebastian
    I'll chase the werewolf myself.
[20:59] Sebastian
    You wait in your room, young master.
[21:05] Ciel
    All right.
[21:14] Sebastian
    I've been in the human realm
    for a long time,
[21:17] Sebastian
    but I've never felt a miasma like this.
[21:21] Sebastian
    What could this be?
[21:28] Sebastian
    What?
