Kuroshitsuji II

Darkness...

Darkness...

Darkness.

Darkness is coiling itself around me...

I am ensnared by the darkness,

and every last drop of my blood

will be drained away by the blade piercing me.

That said...

That said, I still want this.

In that case...

...scream.

Rend the darkness with your scream.

I want this! I want you!

Tell me that even if a never-ending sorrow steals you away

Our two hearts will never grow apart

"Black Butler II"

I run up to you from behind asking questions

The reason I never wavered, no matter what the future looked like

Was because I didn't want to forget what I believed in anymore

My habit of averting my eyes, my vague answers, and my not-funny lies--

Ifyou're not by my side, their very meaning blurs

Even if a never-ending sorrow steals you away

Don't forget the days when we couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"

Tell me that even if a never-ending sorrow steals you away

Our two hearts will never grow apart

Master, this morning's tea is Her Majesty's Blend from Ridgways.

Did I irritate you?

No.

If you'll excuse me...

Hannah, don't you think fried eggs are rather pitiful?

Shells broken open, nakedly exposed for all eyes to see...

They'll never grow into eyes, or organs, or wings:

all their possibilities are wiped out by me.

Hannah.

Truly pitiful.

Claude's told you, hasn't he?

The maid mustn't look directly at her master.

You'll have to forgive me.

If I don't punish you, Claude will be outraged.

Clean this up at once.

Arnold Trancy will be dining with us today.

He just wants money.

This time a priest will be joining him.

It seems he has doubts about your time "held hostage by the fairies."

What should I do, Claude?!

I changed all that old loon's decorating!

The nasty curtains, the rugs with the odd patterns, the knick-knacks...!

Not to worry. I'll take care of everything at once.

Really?

Yes, Your Highness.

One, two, three...

Now...

I transform day into night, sugar into salt, creatures into corpses...

...and navy into golden.

"That's what makes a Trancy butler"--that's your line, right?

That's my Claude.

As long as I have you, I don't need those useless clods.

But... this is where I prefer to display my roses.

Olè !

Eat shit.

I'm deeply honored that you made the time to come today, Father.

And I didn't dare to hope the Viscount Druitt would join us...

Oh, it was the least I could do.

I owe a lot to Uncle Trancy, after all.

When someone lends me his help in these hard times,

I, Druitt, repay him twofold!

Verily I say, it is deflation born of devotion!

E-Er... At any rate,

you say you find the current family head, Alois Trancy, suspicious?

Yes.

My nephew Alois Trancy was kidnapped soon after his birth.

My sister-in-law killed herself in despair.

My brother searched for his son. He looked everywhere...

And one day, Alois came home--with a jet-black butler.

But right afterwards my brother died of an infection,

and Alois became the Trancy family head.

Ah, I see.

And there's no proof that he's Earl Trancy's legitimate son?

That's right.

I know your eyes can discern the truth, Father.

And you, Lord Druitt, had such deep ties to the previous earl.

I'd like you two to expose that child for what he really is.

Uncle Arnold!

Alois!

Oh, what a grievous mistake God has made!

How could such unsullied beauty dwell in the flesh of a young boy?!

Yet I shall forgive thee, O Lord! Amen.

E-Er...

Oh, it's all just as it was when Uncle Trancy was alive!

A glittering mansion of gold!

The legend of Cipangu springs to life in its sublime gleam!

Yes, I haven't changed even the smallest thing since my father's time.

I... don't want to lose my father's warmth or essence.

That shows your love for him.

I lived a sickeningly long time in a certain village.

I don't even know what the place was called.

Or how long I was there...

I was worked like a slave, and not even allowed to go outside.

Goodness!

There was just one boy in the same situation...

I thought of him as a younger brother.

But that day... that night...

What is this?

Inside the rippling flames, the broken-off screams,

just quietly lying there... darkness.

So there you are!

Wh-What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're...

Are you dead?

No... No!

Don't leave me alone! Please!

What in the world happened to that village?

I don't know either. But...

My father came to take me home.

I thought, "I'm not alone! I finally have love!"

But then he...

You poor child!

O Lord, I cannot forgive you after all!

Despair is a sin.

You are one of God's beloved children. I'll help you in any way I can.

Thank you.

But I'll be all right.

For one thing, I have Uncle Arnold!

U-Uh, yes, quite so.

I say, Uncle Arnold.

Yes?

Don't lean your face too close to me. Your mouth stinks.

That damn brat!

Wait, Uncle Arnold!

You only want money, right?

Here, you can have these!
