WEBVTT

00:02.500 --> 00:03.480
We've arrived.

00:04.790 --> 00:06.470
This is the Emerald Castle.

00:55.760 --> 00:59.600
<b>Black Butler</b>

00:57.290 --> 00:59.600
<b>Emerald Witch Arc</b>

02:13.530 --> 02:17.370
Yay, unknown flowers! 
I've never seen <i>these</i> before!

02:17.370 --> 02:18.220
Be careful.

02:18.220 --> 02:21.930
Those are poisonous. Your fingers 
will swell up if you touch one.

02:22.630 --> 02:24.260
Right!

02:39.930 --> 02:40.860
This way.

02:45.220 --> 02:47.370
Wait there.

02:47.370 --> 02:49.040
Right!

02:47.390 --> 02:49.040
Sure.

02:55.610 --> 02:59.550
I haven't had guests in ages. 
I'll treat you to dinner.

02:59.550 --> 03:00.900
You are most kind.

03:03.630 --> 03:07.450
Wolfram, prepare dinner and 
show the servants to their rooms.

03:07.890 --> 03:08.740
Ja.

03:17.960 --> 03:20.320
<i>My theory was correct.</i>

03:20.870 --> 03:24.190
<i>Her feet are so tiny 
because they were bound.</i>

03:24.670 --> 03:26.280
<i>Lau told me about foot-binding once.</i>

03:26.990 --> 03:32.000
<i>Tightly binding a girl's feet from 
a young age to decrease their size</i>

03:32.000 --> 03:34.630
<i>is a custom unique to China, he said.</i>

03:35.070 --> 03:37.090
<i>Why do it in Germany?</i>

03:37.370 --> 03:40.600
<i>And why was it practiced on the local ruler?</i>

03:41.940 --> 03:43.300
You there.

03:44.320 --> 03:45.610
Me?

03:45.610 --> 03:50.880
I'm sorry. My young master hasn't
 quite mastered German yet.

03:52.590 --> 03:53.620
I see.

04:12.280 --> 04:16.280
Oi, say something, will you? 
Conversing with women is your specialty.

04:16.280 --> 04:18.420
What would you have me say?

04:23.210 --> 04:26.400
That is the body's signal 
to encourage you to eat.

04:27.350 --> 04:30.270
<i>She's not shy about how loud that was?</i>

04:30.270 --> 04:34.770
Wolfram is taking quite a while. 
Could something have happened?

04:34.770 --> 04:37.230
He is taking longer than usual, yes.

04:37.560 --> 04:39.870
May I go take a look in the kitchen?

04:40.200 --> 04:41.190
Very well.

04:41.400 --> 04:43.990
Then, please excuse me for a few minutes.

04:43.990 --> 04:44.860
What? Wait—

04:45.160 --> 04:49.330
<i>What?! How do you expect me 
to interact with her by myself?</i>

04:52.590 --> 04:53.860
<i>This is awkward.</i>

04:54.270 --> 04:54.890
Hey, you.

04:56.100 --> 04:58.230
××× black hair ×× man ×× name?

04:59.460 --> 05:00.940
Um...

05:01.710 --> 05:06.350
<i>Wait. I can actually make out 
the key words if I don't panic.</i>

05:06.350 --> 05:10.230
<i>"Black hair" and "man." 
Does she mean Sebastian?</i>

05:10.620 --> 05:15.080
Sebastian, I, butler. You understand?

05:17.360 --> 05:18.900
<i>I communicated!</i>

05:19.170 --> 05:20.630
Where ××× ××× parents?

05:20.630 --> 05:22.610
<i>My parents?</i>

05:23.050 --> 05:26.720
Eltern... weg. Gestorben.

05:30.050 --> 05:30.680
Hmm.

05:32.070 --> 05:35.750
<i>Come back, Sebastian!</i>

05:43.160 --> 05:44.670
Pardon my intrusion.

05:46.000 --> 05:47.380
What do you want?

05:47.880 --> 05:53.060
Dinner seems to be taking a while, 
so I wanted to offer my assist—

05:53.060 --> 05:54.600
That won't be necessary.

05:54.600 --> 05:57.770
I've just finished measuring the 
ingredients according to the book.

05:57.770 --> 05:59.310
I-I see.

05:59.710 --> 06:05.780
Still, Frau Sullivan claims to be 
extremely hungry. Perhaps it's best to hurry.

06:07.210 --> 06:08.530
My young mistress?

06:09.510 --> 06:12.660
Then I won't argue. Please assist me.

06:12.660 --> 06:13.970
Of course.

06:14.820 --> 06:19.030
I'll make Maultaschen. 
Could you knead the bread dough?

06:19.030 --> 06:19.700
Eh?

06:20.870 --> 06:21.940
What is it?

06:21.940 --> 06:24.340
Nothing. Leave it to me.

06:26.060 --> 06:29.960
<i>Wouldn't one normally knead the dough first,</i>

06:29.960 --> 06:33.360
<i>then work on the rest of the menu
 while the bread bakes?</i>

06:34.140 --> 06:37.060
Pardon me, but is the soup ready?

06:37.060 --> 06:41.830
No, I plan to make it when we're done with this. 
Doing it all at once confuses matters.

06:43.300 --> 06:47.710
If I may be so bold, 
could I help with that, too?

06:47.710 --> 06:49.110
Hmm? All right.

06:49.400 --> 06:53.440
<i>I thought those three had 
inured me to human foibles,</i>

06:53.910 --> 06:56.830
<i>but he seems to be a new type.</i>

06:56.830 --> 07:02.290
<i>He makes every effort possible, 
yet only achieves maximum inefficiency.</i>

07:02.290 --> 07:07.360
<i>I never imagined someone would complete
 each dish before starting on the next.</i>

07:07.360 --> 07:10.080
<i>Dinner will be a midnight affair at this rate.</i>

07:10.510 --> 07:12.850
Hiya, Sebastian. Want us to help with—

07:12.850 --> 07:13.970
No, thank you.

07:14.570 --> 07:16.500
You must be exhausted from the trip.

07:16.880 --> 07:21.190
Please just relax and 
don't do anything unnecessary.

07:21.190 --> 07:24.650
Sebastian, you're so kind, yes!

07:25.650 --> 07:26.570
And now...

07:27.390 --> 07:28.740
To work.

07:30.540 --> 07:35.240
Maultaschen, Bratwurst soup, and Eisbein.

07:35.240 --> 07:38.200
Dessert will be a nice rote Grütze.

07:39.120 --> 07:41.870
Well, this is quite...

07:42.660 --> 07:46.250
...an excellent meal. Well done, Wolf.

07:46.250 --> 07:50.380
Well, um... his butler helped.

07:51.110 --> 07:54.230
You're hosting us for the night.
 It was only proper.

07:55.020 --> 08:00.720
A Phantomhive butler who can't provide 
this level of assistance isn't worth his salt.

08:01.350 --> 08:02.310
Let's try it.

08:05.370 --> 08:06.380
Delicious!

08:07.640 --> 08:10.630
I've never had such soft bread!

08:12.530 --> 08:14.700
Wh-What table manners.

08:14.700 --> 08:17.570
She doesn't believe in putting on airs, I see.

08:19.790 --> 08:21.330
Herr Wolfram, emergency!

08:21.910 --> 08:23.370
What's wrong, Hilde?

08:26.910 --> 08:27.810
A...

08:28.290 --> 08:30.030
A werewolf has appeared.

08:36.110 --> 08:37.430
A werewolf?

08:37.700 --> 08:41.660
A woman has been terribly hurt. 
Frau Sullivan, please help her.

08:41.660 --> 08:42.730
I'll go now.

08:42.730 --> 08:43.310
Wolf!

08:43.310 --> 08:43.850
Ja.

08:46.950 --> 08:48.410
You two stay here.

08:48.410 --> 08:50.520
No, please allow us to come with you.

08:50.910 --> 08:55.470
We'd like to know what threats 
the forest holds before we go home.

09:03.870 --> 09:04.790
Clear the way!

09:05.580 --> 09:07.070
Frau Sullivan!

09:07.070 --> 09:09.040
Frau Sullivan, please help!

09:13.940 --> 09:16.430
Th-These wounds are...

09:17.330 --> 09:22.000
No werewolf has ever attacked 
someone from this village before.

09:22.620 --> 09:24.350
Young mistress, stop the bleeding!

09:25.560 --> 09:27.270
This will hurt a bit.

09:37.090 --> 09:38.360
Where's your talisman?

09:38.940 --> 09:42.730
Sh-She left it behind, since she only 
intended to pick some herbs nearby.

09:42.730 --> 09:43.830
The fool!

09:43.830 --> 09:47.040
How many times have I told you to 
always keep your talismans with you?

09:47.440 --> 09:50.490
It may still be nearby. Light more torches!

09:50.490 --> 09:51.580
Right!

09:51.580 --> 09:52.710
Hurry!

09:57.380 --> 09:59.990
<i>What's going on here?</i>

09:59.990 --> 10:02.760
<i>Don't tell me there truly are 
werewolves in the forest?</i>

10:02.760 --> 10:04.350
<i>Certainly not.</i>

10:05.250 --> 10:06.430
What do you think?

10:06.800 --> 10:09.310
I can't come to any conclusions 
from the wounds alone.

10:09.710 --> 10:12.120
Shall I search the forest right away?

10:12.560 --> 10:16.230
No, stay. Don't make any suspicious moves yet.

10:16.940 --> 10:19.820
It's Herr Werwolf's wrath!

10:19.820 --> 10:24.450
He is enraged that outsiders 
have intruded on the forest!

10:24.450 --> 10:26.910
Leave at once, outsiders!

10:26.910 --> 10:31.380
It's because she wasn't carrying her talisman!
 She wouldn't have been attacked otherwise!

10:31.850 --> 10:37.140
No werewolf has ever 
personally injured any of us before.

10:37.140 --> 10:40.050
You defend the outsiders, Emerald Witch?

10:42.260 --> 10:44.520
Do not forget the countless atrocities

10:44.520 --> 10:48.480
that outsiders inflicted on 
our ancestors, Emerald Witch.

10:48.480 --> 10:51.810
Never trust anyone from the outside.

10:51.810 --> 10:54.480
You must never forget your ancestors' grudge!

10:54.480 --> 10:57.820
You must never forget your gratitude 
and dread of Herr Werwolf!

10:57.820 --> 10:59.250
But I—

10:59.250 --> 11:04.660
Foolish outsiders. 
Herr Werwolf's rage is your fault.

11:04.660 --> 11:07.320
All of this is your fault.

11:07.320 --> 11:10.890
Your fault! <i>Yours</i>!

11:12.360 --> 11:17.840
Leave now, unless you want him 
to tear you limb from limb!

11:26.240 --> 11:28.150
Stay in your homes until morning!

11:29.600 --> 11:31.350
I assume you understand now?

11:32.120 --> 11:34.730
If you value your lives, 
don't go into the forest uninvited.

11:35.400 --> 11:36.600
Ever.

11:47.240 --> 11:50.540
Make it strong. We may be up all night.

11:50.540 --> 11:52.210
Very good, my lord.

12:04.200 --> 12:07.080
In that case, please have it plain.

12:12.180 --> 12:15.660
I didn't expect there 
to truly be werewolf victims.

12:16.660 --> 12:19.570
But that was different from what Chlaus—

12:31.120 --> 12:32.160
You?

12:35.220 --> 12:40.670
My goodness, Frau Sullivan. 
You came alone, without your servant?

12:41.480 --> 12:46.520
I-I can walk by myself with these 
Hexenballons. At least in the castle.

12:47.290 --> 12:48.850
I see.

12:51.630 --> 12:52.770
Still...

12:53.980 --> 12:58.250
It's not becoming of a lady to eavesdrop
 outside a gentleman's room.

12:59.250 --> 13:01.380
May I ask your business here?

13:02.950 --> 13:08.660
<i>My</i> business? You're the ones 
who have business with me.

13:08.660 --> 13:09.620
What?

13:10.040 --> 13:15.080
I know full well what you're after.
 I am a witch, you know.

13:15.940 --> 13:20.280
Oh? Then, I imagine you know what to do next.

13:21.620 --> 13:23.840
We'd rather not treat you roughly.

13:27.560 --> 13:30.830
From the moment you entered the village,

13:31.620 --> 13:37.940
I knew you would violate the secret room 
I've kept tightly locked all of my 11 years tonight.

13:41.430 --> 13:45.210
I mentally prepared myself, 
but my heart won't stop racing.

13:45.840 --> 13:46.570
Here!

13:49.420 --> 13:54.490
I didn't think my first time would be a threesome,
 but all experience is valuable.

13:54.490 --> 13:56.760
Please be as gentle as possible.

13:56.760 --> 13:58.680
Wh-What?!

13:59.850 --> 14:03.280
Oh, you must be worried 
my clothes are too complicated.

14:03.460 --> 14:04.550
Start with the buttons—

14:04.560 --> 14:07.750
No, stop. What are you doing?

14:08.260 --> 14:11.550
Ah, you like conquering the citadel yourself?

14:12.400 --> 14:14.000
You're manlier than you look.

14:14.000 --> 14:15.100
What are you saying?!

14:15.900 --> 14:19.180
She asks if you'd prefer to be 
the one to take her dress off.

14:19.190 --> 14:20.990
Now what are <i>you</i> saying?!

14:20.990 --> 14:23.390
Oh, you like doing it fully clothed?

14:23.390 --> 14:26.890
Ah, young master, you have 
interesting preferences for your age.

14:26.890 --> 14:30.780
I may not know much German, 
but I <i>do</i> know there's been a misunderstanding!

14:31.950 --> 14:32.980
Don't tell me you're...

14:38.120 --> 14:40.300
Well, you're male, at least.

14:41.460 --> 14:44.260
Sod off!

14:49.800 --> 14:52.680
A-Are you all right, Frau Sullivan?

14:56.560 --> 14:59.710
It's beyond boorish to shame 
a young maiden like that!

14:59.710 --> 15:02.800
Eh?! I said I'm not fluent in German, you harlot!

15:03.860 --> 15:05.560
Now, now, you two.

15:07.980 --> 15:11.180
Enjoying yourselves in bed
 is a fine way to spend time,

15:11.870 --> 15:15.220
but perhaps you'd prefer
 to enjoy these for now?

15:20.220 --> 15:26.660
I've read that the male of a species 
has carnal appetites that are never sated.

15:27.720 --> 15:31.400
Well, that is true of <i>some</i> men.

15:31.400 --> 15:34.180
Wolfsschlucht only has female residents,

15:34.180 --> 15:36.480
so I've never actually met a man before.

15:36.940 --> 15:38.880
Isn't Wolfram a man?

15:40.540 --> 15:42.940
He's more like my guard dog.

15:42.940 --> 15:43.700
I see.

15:44.900 --> 15:51.340
Speaking of dogs, the villagers all seem 
rather afraid of someone called "Herr Werwolf."

15:51.880 --> 15:54.740
What does that term refer to?

15:57.660 --> 15:59.710
Have you heard of witch hunts?

15:59.710 --> 16:00.670
Yes.

16:01.640 --> 16:05.780
Long ago, witches were accused
 of causing various calamities.

16:05.780 --> 16:09.810
They were subjected to a form of torture 
called a "witch trial," then killed.

16:09.810 --> 16:13.310
The torture instruments you saw
 in the square are from that time.

16:14.660 --> 16:19.060
A witch's true occupation is 
to prevent disasters with magic,

16:19.060 --> 16:21.230
and heal people with herbs.

16:21.800 --> 16:27.320
But they were branded as heretics and oppressed
by humans more and more as time went on,

16:27.320 --> 16:30.520
until they fled for their lives
 into this forest.

16:31.960 --> 16:36.380
Legend has it that to protect the others,

16:36.380 --> 16:41.920
one witch made a pact with a werewolf, 
offering him her own legs.

16:44.400 --> 16:48.780
That was my ancestor, 
who was known as the Emerald Witch.

16:52.160 --> 16:56.510
That's why each successive ruler's feet
 are bound until she can't walk.

16:57.570 --> 17:02.380
Why did a werewolf attack a villager, then?
 Doesn't that violate the pact?

17:03.320 --> 17:07.610
It's been hundreds of years 
since that pact was formed.

17:08.700 --> 17:11.600
The original Emerald Witch died long ago.

17:12.040 --> 17:15.200
I imagine this happened because 
our blood has diluted over the years.

17:16.860 --> 17:18.080
In other words,

17:18.500 --> 17:24.200
this village is no longer protected
by werewolves, but imprisoned by them.

17:26.620 --> 17:28.520
Perhaps so.

17:29.620 --> 17:34.240
Thanks to that, I've never left
 this village in my life,

17:34.240 --> 17:36.690
and I don't think I ever will.

17:37.720 --> 17:40.680
You are going home tomorrow, correct?

17:41.180 --> 17:46.900
I'd like you to tell me about the outside 
world first. About the world I don't know.

17:47.820 --> 17:53.040
It seems her actions earlier sprang from 
an eagerness to become friendly with us.

17:54.740 --> 17:57.380
She is all-important in this village.

17:57.700 --> 18:01.070
Wouldn't making friends with her
also benefit our investigation?

18:02.920 --> 18:05.120
All right, fine.

18:07.660 --> 18:11.920
Before... sorry. Let's be friends.

18:16.700 --> 18:21.100
In my young master's country, 
people shake hands to grow closer.

18:21.100 --> 18:22.200
Like this.

18:25.460 --> 18:28.740
Oh, that reminds me. These are for you two.

18:30.140 --> 18:31.880
Talismans to ward off werewolves.

18:31.880 --> 18:34.960
Wear them on your way home. 
I give you special permission.

18:34.960 --> 18:35.910
Thank you.

18:36.560 --> 18:37.740
N-Now then!

18:38.180 --> 18:42.820
You should teach me what you meant
 by "enjoying ourselves in bed."

18:44.220 --> 18:46.790
Ah, yes, I do recall saying that.

18:47.220 --> 18:49.460
What shall we do, young master?

18:50.030 --> 18:52.760
She's a child. We'll do nothing of the sort.

18:53.050 --> 18:55.000
Have her play with some toys.

18:55.380 --> 18:57.720
The young master would
 like to introduce toys.

18:57.720 --> 19:00.590
What?! That's rather daring for a first time.

19:00.620 --> 19:04.690
What was <i>that</i> reaction?
Clearly there's been a misunderstanding!

19:14.150 --> 19:16.680
Sh-She's finally asleep.

19:16.680 --> 19:18.180
You worked hard today.

19:18.670 --> 19:22.340
Simple words allow one to make 
more conversation than I thought.

19:22.340 --> 19:25.960
And it's easier to understand her accent 
than the coachman's, somehow.

19:26.700 --> 19:28.000
I'm sure it is.

19:32.560 --> 19:34.600
Pardon my young mistress's intrusion.

19:35.700 --> 19:37.880
She just fell asleep.

19:49.760 --> 19:51.860
Forget whatever she said to you.

19:52.720 --> 19:54.420
You'll leave at dawn.

19:55.820 --> 19:56.580
Understood?

20:12.120 --> 20:13.680
What thick fog.

20:13.680 --> 20:15.460
Watch your step.

20:18.610 --> 20:22.140
<i>It's too quiet. I can't sense any animals.</i>

20:22.680 --> 20:26.100
<i>I've never felt air this heavy, either.</i>

20:26.920 --> 20:28.620
Young master, stay by my—

20:30.090 --> 20:31.020
Young master?!

20:33.900 --> 20:35.090
Why am I crying?

20:35.090 --> 20:36.860
What in the world is the matter?

20:36.860 --> 20:38.860
Ah, you mustn't rub your eyes so much.

20:39.740 --> 20:42.540
I don't know where the tears
 are coming from.

20:42.540 --> 20:43.360
Blast.

20:47.160 --> 20:48.500
A-A werewolf?

20:50.390 --> 20:51.620
Let's follow, Sebastian!

20:51.620 --> 20:52.750
Wait, my lord!

20:53.290 --> 20:55.340
Something is off about this forest.

20:55.340 --> 20:57.400
I have a feeling of foreboding.

20:57.740 --> 20:59.500
I'll chase the werewolf myself.

20:59.500 --> 21:01.760
You wait in your room, young master.

21:05.410 --> 21:06.260
All right.

21:14.520 --> 21:17.440
<i>I've been in the human realm 
for a long time,</i>

21:17.440 --> 21:19.800
<i>but I've never felt a miasma like this.</i>

21:21.280 --> 21:22.360
<i>What could this be?</i>

21:28.770 --> 21:29.540
<i>What?</i>
