It is impossible for anyone to be reading this to not know of the Victorian Era, it is one of the most famous era! Its mannerism and etiquette is well known even till today!
Just google and you will find tonnes of materials.
Any questions, just direct it to me! Though I'm not a professional researcher but I do know quite some bit. Hopefully it helps!
Too bad for me, my computer has taken a grudge for me, hence I'm not able to log in because the layout was topsy-turvy for me. Which explains why I haven't been there for a long while.
I shall be contented just listening to the theories that some fans from fandom have forwarded to me then ^^
Just in case you are wondering, why is there music playing when you enter my website, it's because I'm on a music rampage ^^
All the songs are played on the Armonica, which was what Hannah Annafellows played in episode 6.
Just a tip to starters: When you first play, you'll probably feel a headache coming when listening to it due to the vibrations of the air molecules. Therefore you need to perfect it. The amount of moisture on your fingers, how you actually play the Armonica and how long you linger your fingers play a big part in the quality of sound.
However it does not come cheap. An Armonica cost US$8,000 and above, and a second hand's price is not much lower too. Besides, you need a tutor too, and there are few who actually teaches it since it is not a mainstream instrument unlike a piano, violin or guitar.
I wonder why I hadn't notice this earlier! ( I blame my poor memory for this)
Happen to see this on a discussion somewhere online...
5 November (alois's birthday)
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night (or, more casually in recent times as Fireworks Night), is an annual celebration held on the evening of 5 November to mark the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the Houses of Parliament in London.
Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent To blow up the King and Parli'ment. Three-score barrels of powder below To prove old England's overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd (or by God's mercy*) With a dark lantern and burning match. Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! And what should we do with him? Burn him!
I highlighted Treason and Plot, because basically that is what Kuroshitsuji is about~ Ciel is suspected of Treason and the whole storyline is...plotty! Burn him was highlighted as that's what Margaret Turner kept saying
A penny loaf to feed the Pope A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A fagot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah hoorah!
Ol' probably read as Ole?
Guy, guy, guy Poke him in the eye, Put him on the bonfire, And there let him die
Umm Umm, yeah eye, poke, you get the picture
5 November
The Hither Green rail crash was an accident on the British railway system that occurred on 5 November 1967 near Hither Green maintenance depot, between Hither Green and Grove Park railway stations, in south-east London.
Refer to Tero Shitsuji
By the way: The producers did extensive research before starting on this project, so this is probably not a coincidence.
I like how Claude hypnotised Ciel. He knew that Ciel was breaking and took this opportunity to mix up Ciel's memories and force him into thinking that he is Alois Trancy.
The triplets are cute when they drew the picture of "what-shall-happen-when-Claude-gets-Alois's-soul" They really are a klutz. I mean, many klutz!
I hate Ciel being tortured, no! Never! First Sebastian, now Ciel!?
Alois and Ciel are one now, Aloisel! or Cielois! So you understand what Alois meant by he wanted to be one with Ciel?
I COINED THE WORD CIELOIS/ALOISEL
Summary: Claude told the Servants what he wanted to do to Alois, thus making them all demons Claude laid a series of trap by posing as the Queen and setting Ciel off cases when in fact that was to lure him in. The triplets posed as Ciel and gored many young boys' eyes out Ciel investigates
Ciel states that if you connect the place where the boys' eyes are gourged, it forms a spider web and they should go to the centre Then Sebastian realised it and placed Ciel in a box again big crate and telling him not to come out (just like in ep 24 "whatever you do, do not open your eyes) The children sings London Bridge is falling down and Ciel gets reminded of his past He recounts Angela, Lolita Victoria, etc and also Sebastian putting him in a suitcase and of course the Trancy Ciel gets mad for being kept in the dark as everyone knew about the truth except him and flares up, saying that he will not tolerate being ordered, thus coming out from the crate.
PS: Ciel shouted to the kids "Kids should play at home!" to which they say "You are a kid too!"
He sees "Alois" running in the alley and follows but multiple Alois came out Eventually they came to a dead end but before Ciel can catch him, some doctors came with Hannah who pointed Ciel as "Alois" her master. Ciel said he is not and that he is Ciel Phantomhive but Hannah says it's because he has gone mad due to abuse by his Father aka pedophile Count Trancy Hannah further states that Ciel was the one gourging the boys' eyes out.
Ciel points that the real Alois is there but the triplet has disappeared thus he was brought to the torture chambers Claude rescued him by killing hate people and fuses Alois soul with him by making him disorientated after he was traumatised
I suspect Claude's glasses helped him.
How he hypnotise Ciel, for example
Ciel: I am Ciel Phantomhive Claude: Yes, you are Alois Trancy
Ciel: My parents are killed Claude: Yes, your brother is killed
continues, until
Ciel: Count Trancy...he sullied me.... Claude: Yes, that is correct
Why it works: Because Ciel's soul is mixed with Alois but in Ciel's body, the brain retains more of Ciel's memories so Claude needs to draw out the subconcious Alois's memory so that Ciel thinks he is Alois or rather AloiscumCiel
Sebastian battles with Hannah
That Butler, experienced
Now you've done it, you destroyed the perfect gentleman image in my mind!!! Please don't do this again....I'm in shock!
Without a doubt, I was vomiting at that.
That aside, Sebastian won and was strangling Hannah when she was lifted off ground. I've never seen him so angry....Scary.......he beating a lady is like seeing spouse abuse (NOO!!!!) Remember what he said to Ciel about slapping Elizabeth. Okay, I know Hannah is a demon, but!!!!
Alright so Sebastian confronts Claude when he hears Ciel scream and found Ciel shivering in fright. He tries to bring back his master but then Ciel just gets more agitated but eventually he commands Claude to get rid of Sebastian (Claude makes him believe Sebastian killed Luka, his brother) Sebastian is shocked (yes, like how I was shock seeing him and Hannah) Claude smirks and said that "A master's order is absolute" and Sebastian leaves politely, still fuming
He rambles on how he took too much effort to prepare a lovely meal, and this is the result (being stolen from him) I'm not used to a rambling Sebastian
So please cheer up Sebastian!
If you can get bocchan back, I can give you a kitten, unless you prefer me :D
Random!
Son of Santa Claus
Seriously, Ciel can't pull off the seductive look!
Influenced by Hannnah, hence I decided to take up the Armonica
What better song than to play this?
When I played it at first, I felt a little headache due to the vibrations. But listen beyond the superficial notes itself and you will find the lovely voices of the angels. It was hard trying to play it because you need friction and some moisture.
No, I DID NOT lick my fingers. It's one of the hardest instrument to play, partly because few play this, fewer are even masters at this, not to mention that it is virtually unknown in the 21st century
The Head of the Trancy Household's ring, it is worn on the index finger of Alois's right hand. It is a red, exceptionally large and bright ruby,the gem of speaking, which is (the symbolism) of passion, courage and freedom. This gem is not just for his (Alois) exagerration as mentioned.
-any mistakes in translation is deeply regretted
Does it makes any sense to you? Anyway, it basically means that this is the Trancy Household's ring, much like Ciel's only that this is red, big and is made of bright ruby. It represents passion, courage and freedom and (if I'm not wrong) the last line means that the above description is not an overstatement (?)
It is worn on the right hand of Alois's index finger, so there!
"Also, some experts on pedophilia, such as Ken Lanning, in writing about the seduction of children by some pedophiles, have used the term the "Pied Piper effect" to describe a "unique ability to identify with children." " -Wikipedia
Since it is summer, I shall introduce the something relating to Summer
Summer Fashion!
Yukata
No, really, this is a Yukata.
For dogs.
Yukata is a casual form of the kimono, typically worn during summer. They are also worn bathing inns. Unlike the formal kimono, they can be made of cotton or synthetic fabrics, and not just limited to silk. Normal it is easy to tell the wearer of the yukata as young adults, teenagers and children would wear brighter colours while adults and the elders would wear darker colours, though it is possible for the vice vesa to occur
Geta
The geta are sandals with elevated wooden base held on the foot with a fabric thong. They are normally worn with traditional Japanese clothing like the kimono or yukata, although now Western slippers can be worn in place of geta. The height may vary from geta to geta. Breaking the thongs of one's geta is very unlucky so be sure that you don't do that! I've heard from my Japanese relatives that those shiny ones are in the rage now, though I still prefer the traditional ones.
Obi
The obi is a kind of sash that goes with the yukata, kimono etc. There are many kinds of Obi and designs too. Colours that are contrasting to the yukata itself or matches the print on the yukata would bring out the best in the attire (at least that is what I feel). Pre-tied obi are popular as it is not as troublesome as tying your own Obi.
Pretied Obi
Obijime
A piece of string to keep the obi in place by tying it round your body
Liesel signing off In summer
By the way, those are YoYo Tsuri, which we can win through a game where they float on the water in a huge container. Using a W-hook, you need to try and hook the loop at the end of the string. They are balloons partly filled with water and you can actually play with it like a yoyo! Hence the name. As the hook is fasten with paper, if you get them wet, they're strength would be greatly weaken!
Having played this several times, i was able to get hold of some Yoyo Tsuri. Aren't they lovely? ^^
I really feel bad for Alois. If for anything, his past is worse than Ciel. I wouldn't start a debate on how and why his past is worse but, well, just see the video to rethink on why he is so twisted.
Firstly, he was orphaned and his only family is Luka. Besides that they had to endure the bullies from the other adults from the village, and they are only children!
Secondly, to force yourself to entertain an old and ugly man? That takes some guts. I mean, to actually strip yourself to the lowest form of humanity and to serve yourself to a total stranger. He had completely degradable himself to the position of a whore. (literally, don't get me wrong, I love Alois and the producers are more cruel than Alois himself) If I ever am those oba-san who cries over soap operas, my house would be flooded by now. To engage in sexual activities with a man so perverted and heartless, Alois is really desperate, desperate to climb out of the living hell.
Don't say that Alois is a whore or that he is bringing it upon himself. Because he is being forced to. He has practically no right over his life, if he does not resort to this, he would be like the other boys, "disinfected" and disposed. Rather than being that, he chose to be a sex slave of Count Trancy. That way, while he planned to kill him off, at least he can inherit his estate and he wouldn't have to worry about being bullied. This is the same as him trading his purity for power. Under normal circumstances, it would be something that we scoff and look down upon but this case is unique because Alois has to do it or he would probably be in a state worse than being a sexually abused.
But he did realise that even if he was the Trancy Earl, it is but a facade. Nobody cares about him in the end, not his servants, not Claude, not Ciel.
In the end, he is but a lonely kid, he has to walk life alone. He chose to make a contract with Claude because his only thought now was to save his skin. he eventually realise he was a pawn. That's why he was so clingy to Claude even though Claude wanted Ciel. Claude despise Alois but still he stuck with Alois because Alois's soul could act as a desert, if not a main course.
Alois knew it but he chose to overlook it because Claude was the only one he had, even if he was bonded to Alois through a contract, a contract that benefits the demons but undermines the human. That's why he said that,"Claude, you're my Highness."
Claude was of course appalled at this pathetic human but it further shows how Alois just wanted a companion, a friend, even if it was a demon who would eat him. Alois is but an innocent tainted by the cruelty of this world.
Rattling too much here! I really want to hug Alois!! He needs a teddy bear!
`Toboso Yana Sensei's view on online, illegal streaming
I must admit, I was very surprised to see it on her blog. I always thought her blog was cheery (well, the contents are....I mean with Sebastian and Ciel, what isn't?!)
I agree on her point, it is a serious problem. Sure, there's the old age argument that if I watch it online, I make the series more popular by promoting it and joining the long stream of fans already head over heels in love with it. The truth is, mangaka draw manga for passion and income too right?
Even if Sensei calls us thief, I guess we are. We are watching her anime online without paying her. It's just like a kid sneaking into a cinema without paying and watching a N15+ movie. Then telling the cinema operators :" Hey! I watched XXX film for free by sneaking in!" It's illegal and wrong. Even if the kid was to say:" But I can't buy the tickets! They won't let me!" It is still wrong. If you are the operator, how would you feel? People sneaking into your cinema and watching for free? It's not about money now but more of the indignant feeling that you are being ripped off.
True, you may accuse me of saying all these because I live so close to Japan and sometimes even staying there for a while but that does not mean that I am any different from people in regions further away. There is something called internet shopping, which I do for some mangaka who's books might be sold out in my country due to it being less popular. Even though now, I am paying for shipping fee + tax + the original manga Surely, buying 1 or 2 books off the internet to just support them isn't too hard? No excuse for not having access to the internet if you are reading this now.
In addition, the cost of living in Japan is really high and all the sales count would go to the royalties paid to Toboso Sensei. She has worked hard and she deserves it.
Starving is not exagerrating, isn't it just like when you said :" GOD! I failed that test I'm going to DIE~~" or "My mother's going to KILL ME!!!!" She had used a really formal and polite tone and she probably just wants to highlight the severity of the situation. Decades, for decades illegal downloading is going on and isn't it time fans realise the impact of their actions?
Imagine if Volume 10 of the manga comes out and only one person buys and uploads it online which everyone reads from there and no other person buys, what do you think is going to happen? The effect is really spiralling.
Fans do scanlations and uploading to share it with other fans hoping that they will buy too and support the mangaka, thats why I can't stress enough on how I hope that fans can buy the real thing but read scanlations to understand the context if they don't know. Doesn't it make scanlations and subs video less "illegal??"
I am really disappointed in the people would are chiding Sensei for just wanting to protect her work.
Sensei, nevermind those mindless comments, you really aren't in the wrong unlike what they claimed, you have the right to be angry and as a fan of yours, I full-heartedly support you! Hang in there!
Wait! I'm confused! Isn't the boy's name Luka Macken?
source: Black Tabloid
Translation: In the village where Alois spent his early life, Luka is a boy who was loved as a brother. In the same predicament as Alois, he calls Alois "Brother", who he was attached to.
Some important things to take note: 1) Ciel's revenge is not complete: He wants to kill all those who had humiliated him, Sebastian had killed those who directly contributed to this cause but not those who had indirectly do so
2) Therefore, Alois who had been plotting secretly is responsible for it and thus Ciel wants to kill him.
3) Spiders play an important role. As Sebastian referred to Claude as the 'spider butler", the spiders that are a symbolism of the Trancy household, the spider letter wax seal, the spider crest
4) Hannah and the triplets are definitely related to demons. Or better yet, Claude
5) Look at the triplets! They are totally controlled by Claude and how Claude gives them commands and they are able to follow it immediately. The 3 baka servants don't do that, they have a mind of their one.
6) How Claude extracts the sword from Hannah no human's mouth or stomach can actually contain such large object. ( The way she says "Claude" is quite hinting too. I'm not sure what is your view on this but it sounded as if she is devoted to him)
7) Actually demons are quite childish (food fight)
8) Sebastian can sew and dance! A demon man who can cook, sew, dance, protect you from dangerous armed mafias is definitely your MR. RIGHT. (too bad his MISS. RIGHT must fulfil the criteria of having silky and luxurious fur, squeezable paws and having a playful tail)
9) Claude's glasses He took them off again.
10) Spider thread So Claude intends to follow the feet of Spiderman? The thread he claims is able to cut through steel and we have seen Sebastian being cut by it
11) The sword is a legendary treasure. H ow on Earth did Claude acquire that? He might have the same rank as Sebastian or even higher.
12) Claude has better strategies than Sebastian. We did see Sebastian being cornered by Claude's sword and spider web. This is really unlike Sebastian.
13) Alois is as sly as Ciel. He was aware that Ciel was going to cheat. (ciel states that they should count to 10 and walk in oppposite direction, back to back, and only turn around and fight at the count of 10 but Ciel cheated by turning at 5 in which Alois was already prepared and had his sword pointing at Ciel.)
14) Alois is a better swordsman than Ciel. Just watch the duel to find out
15) Ciel is more intelligent in the end. Where he turned the tables and stabbed Alois in the end.
16) Alois has lower pain tolerance than Ciel. He toally wept and thrash around after being stabbed by Ciel. Ciel, after clenching his hand on the sword Alois had wanted to use to stab him, was still energetic enough to slap Claude and Sebastian. How about when Alois threw him from the second floor down? He could still hold out (though we know that a normal human would die but this is anime~) And in the first season when Ciel was shot numerous time by the guards?
17) Claude is lusting after Ciel's soul rather than Alois's.
He kept licking the blood and saying that "That (ciel's) is the soul that all demons seek. Revenge, hatred yet pure and white (not exact quotes but yeah, I'm lazy to refer back so that will do)
18) Blood is connected to soul Claude was licking Ciel's blood (after Ciel's blood-stained hands slapped him) and he stunned out to the point that Sebastian had to ask "Claude?" Which means that if you taste someone's blood, you can actually taste a part of their soul
19) Sebastian is highly possessive! Look at how much he empathsizes MY BOCCHAN! and how he refuses to let Claude have a taste of Ciel's soul, let alone a lick of it
20) Claude has no interest in Alois He didn't even help Alois as Alois kept crying "Help me! Help me!"
21) Claude is more of a demon than Sebastian: We have a demon who does not care for the welfare of his master and one that goes all the way for his master
22) Alois is just lonely that is probably why he is sadistic, he wants attention and probably goring Hannah's eye to attract the attention of Claude. If Hannah belongs to Claude, he must be wanting for Claude to show some emotion, which he unfortunately didnt.
23) Claude is not as willing as Sebastian to play along with Alois's little game Remember how he outrightly shot down Alois's statement of "punishing him" as he didn't kill Sebastian?
24) The Trancy Mansion is big yes, very...
25) The Druitt is still bothered about the fact that he is an ex-convict right
26) the chant that Alois kept repeat? It should be something he used to summon Claude and mistakenly thought that it is to tie Claude to him
27) Claude shows no reaction so it really wasn't the chant that summon him
One suggestion to the Kuroshitsuji II producers Label this as M18+ already! Rape between an old fat and ugly man and a shota who is his suppose son! Gore Alois sticking his fingers into Hannah's eye socket Alois tempting the Trancy Earl to rape him.....
the sword coming from Hannah's mouth was....disturbing, it's so big!
Food fight, lol, just proves that claude isnt as competent since the food landed on him. Sebastian is just too.....
The triplets are surely demons! Their eyes glowed. and Sebastian stichting his clothes while fighting is taunting!
And how Ciel drops to the ground from the second level, he should have broken bones yet he was still able to slap-fight Sebastian. And Sebastian was holding him like he would with a cat..
I like how Sebastian dances after Ciel stabbed alois.
Alois keeps saying "help me, help me!" yet Claude doesnt care, that's too cruel!! I guess when you are a demon, cruelty is a part of you.
But the preview is badass! Alois is such flirt~ I mean tempting his sex-deprived father to rape him? this is really bad for his emotional and mental upbringing. I feel as if I'm watching a yaoi anime! An old man and a shota no less! That's just more gross
And Alois raping Hannah? I don't think it really is rape, Alois was crying when he was lying on top of her. I can see that he feels really hurt.
Just some weird theories of mine, not to be taken seriously though feel free to debate about my points
There is a lot of theories behind who Hannah is: 1) Demon 2) Alois's mother 3) Just a servant who gets abuse as she had a horrible master
Personally I think she might be the mother of Alois. I mean she isn't that young, nor is she too old.
If you know about the Victorian House, in the master servants getting raped by their masters aren't that uncommon. The lady of the house normally do not have control over their husbands, since women are more of a commodity at that time. If it really is so, then that can explain why she does not leave Alois.
Besides that, Alois might be unfeeling to her for 2 possible reasons:
1) He hates her for being born to a person of a lower social class, thus not getting his noble privileges 2) He does not know about her being his mother.
Considering that this theory is correct, maybe the original Young Earl (whose mother committed suicide) is dead and Anna had sent Alois to the village (without the knowledge of the late Trancy Earl) to hide the misdeeds and the late Trancy Earl might be finding Alois so that he can have a inheritance to his estate and name.
I doubt she is a demon, as we all see how vulnerable she is but I dont think she is just a servant. She just being in the OP (which the triplets isn't) is a huge hint.
I guess Mother is the most convincing role now.
Oh yeah, by the way my doujinshi group, Strawberry Scans, had opened a forum for people to view the compiled doujinshi from different circles. Do visit here: Strawberry Scans Forums Join and show your support, thanks :D
Through the crow’s eye, Sebastian and Ciel’s figure were seen. The eyes changes to Ciel’s blue eyes in which Sebastian’s image was being reflected.
Sebastian: Then, Young Master
Ciel closes his eyes and Sebastian’s eyes glowed bright violet, his tongue licking his lips. Sebastian placed his hands on Ciel’s face and was about to kiss him devour his soul, a sinister smile plastered to his face.
Suddenly the clocktower chimes and the crow took off from the rubbled building. Sebastian stops in mid-action, appearing shocked.
Sebastian; !!
Sebastian’s eyes no longer glows and he retreated from Ciel. It seems that Ciel’s soul was already taken as he was unconscious when Sebastian retreated.
The triplets were leaping in the air, each carrying a weapon. Timber: a chisel, an axe, Canterberry: ladder, Thompson: a pincer . Carrying Ciel, Sebastian could only retreat as the triplets attack him.
Claude: (standing beside Alois) Attack, combine and fall into the despicability of hell. (waves commands with his hand as the triplets run in circles around him) (that’s pretty adorable..)
The triplets then run in circles around Sebastian and Ciel, weapons still in their hands. Sebastian and Ciel eyed their movements as the triplets proceeded with the assault. Thompson had his pincer around Sebastian’s ankle while Canterberry had the ladder around Sebastian’s body, immobilizing him as his hands are contained within the ladder rungs. Alois smirk as he saw Sebastian in a predicament and that Ciel was worried. Timber was about to wrap up with the finishing move with the chisel and the screen focuses on the chisel which is just a breath length away from Sebastian’s nose.
The triplets were then seen collapsed on the ground as Sebastian stands up on the tree with Ciel in his arm. (Ciel looks very vulnerable here, and really, really worried) The ladders and pincers are broken.
Sebastian: (smirking) How very capable.
The Canterberry and Timber got up and approach the tree only to have Sebastian leap off the tree, landing behind them. They turned around and chased the fleeing pair and Thompson joined them as he tackled Sebastian up front.
____________________________
Sebastian’s Flashback
Sebastian was leaping from tree to tree (this is the scene after he escapes from the Trancy Mansion)
Sebastian: At that time, Young Master really looked similar to a puppet. (carrying the suitcase) (take note that he is saying this in the present context)
____________________________
End of flash back
Ciel: Did you say something?
Sebastian: I said, if I were to put Young Master in a suitcase, it would be easier to transport you around. (cheeky!)
Ciel: (angry) Is this the time for jokes?!
Sebastian: I’m sorry.
Sebastian and Ciel are running in the direction of Alois and Claude.
Alois: Mou~! ( meaning “wow!” )
Claude steps forward to shield him. Sebastian attempts some fighting moves, probably to scare Claude off or just to test him. Claude didn’t flinch as Sebastian’s leg almost come into contact with his forehead. Sebastian then leaps into the air and above Alois and Claude before escaping. Alois was amazed and clings onto Claude.
Alois: wow….How powerful! Sebastian might even be more powerful than Claude. (my condolences Claude, for having such tactless master.) If you can let him collapse to the ground, that would be even more incredible. (zooms to Claude’s face) Can you do that, Claude?
Claude: (opening his eyes)

Inside the Trancy Mansion, Ballroom;
The orchestra plays and people were dancing. Then the music stops and the dance ends.
Gentlemen: Eh? What is it?
Hannah then wheels in a big case and she pulls off the cloth cover.
Guest: That is….!
Lau: Ho?
Meirin: What is that?
Finnian: Is that a musical instrument? (excited)
Hannah then opens the case. Inside is the glass Armonica. (a type of musical instrument that uses a series of glass bowls or goblets graduated in size to produce musical tones by means of friction, normally played with wet fingers)
Lau: This is….it is unexpected that I can see such a thing at such functions.
Soma: You know what it is?
Hannah sits down and began licking her fingers, wet fingers, remember? (Dar lord…. A slurping sound was even heard so audibly). Music was heard and people crowded to hear Hannah play. At first it seemed like a melodious piece but soon it resulted in headaches to the listeners as Soma clutches his head in pain.
Soma: Argh!
Agni: Prince!
Agni experiences the pain too and so do the other guests.
Guest: What is this?!
_________________
Woodlands
Ciel: (sitting down and panting)
Sebastian was standing guard over him and he smiles, probably at the sight of his weak master. (hoho!) Sebastian’s smile turns into a frown as he hears the music of the Armonica.
Sebastian: (serious and anxious) Young Master, please cover your ears.
Ciel: My ears….argh! What kind of music is this?!
Sebastian: (covering Ciel’s eyes) This timbre, has not been heard for up to a hundred years.
Footsteps were heard and the triplet stands over Sebastian and Ciel, weapons in their hands and their eyes glowed dangerously in the moonlight.
_________________________________________________
In the Trancy Mansion, ballroom
Everyone starts groaning in pain as they collapse as some collapse to their knees.
Elizabeth: Argh!!
Paula: My lady!
Elizabeth: My head hurts!!
Finnian: Arghh...pain!!
Bard: Did I drink too much?!
Soma: (to Lau and Ran Mao) Hey! What is this all about?! Do you know what …?!
Lau and Ran Mao turned back.
Lau: Eh? What?
Ran Mao adjusts her ear plucks and Lau starts juggling his wine bottles. Suddenly, everyone who was tormented by the music stopped struggling. Their eyes glowed purple and they laughed creepily. Therefore Hannah was using the armonica to control them.
Agni; Soma-sama!
Those being controlled turned against those not being controlled. A man in red charges to Agni with a knife but Agni skillfully dodges it and tackled him. More people started attacking Agni.
Soma: What on Earth is going on?!
Agni: It seems that…they are being manipulated by that musical instrument.
_______________________________
The woodlands
Timber struck at Sebastian with his axe to which Sebastian manage to catch between his shoes while covering Ciel’s ears. (wonderful!) Timber was shocked and Thompson lash out at Sebastian using two saws. Sebastian frowns and throws the axe at Thompson, leading to Thompson and Canterberry behind him to be thrown back by the impact and colliding with the tree before they fall down. Timbre then ran back to his brothers, leaving a satisfied Sebastian with his Bocchan (young master), his hands still covering Ciel’s ears :D
Ciel: (serious) Sebastian, we have to return.
Sebastian: (smiles) Do not worry, because today some few of my friends are present.
_____________________________________________
In the Trancy Mansion, Agni has removed his bandaged hand which was emitting a bright blue light.
Agni; No!!
He jabbed a finger at the neck on Bard, Finnian and Meirin. Skeletal figures was seen as they are jabbed and then as if being electrified, they resumed back to normal and no longer hear the music.
Finnian: (happy) Woah! It has became quiet!
Meirin: The surrounding noise has became softer.
Bard: My head does not hurt now….eh?!
Finnian starts clutching his head and screaming in pain.
Finnian; Arghh!!!
Bard: This time, we are the ones who have become weird! Finnian: The sound seems to be delayed!
Meirin: It is a time lag attack.
Agni ties Soma’s hat around his ears so that he can’t hear the armonica.
Agni: Come, everyone.
Ran Mao shows off her awesome moves in her sexy robes and Soma has a trick or two as he knocks out Paula and Elizabeth who had just been taken controlled over.
Soma: I’m sorry. (to Elizabeth and Paula). Agni! Stop them under the conditions that they would not be hurt!
Agni: Yes. (it literally means, I accept your orders)
Bard had a man in his strong grips while Finnian threw a rounded table at the crazed guests. Meirin fired some shots at the weapons that the guests were holding. Some of the guests became surrounding Soma, forcing him back and thus resulting in him knocking on to the table behind. Soma looked back and saw the curry bread still on the plate, untouched.

Sebastian runs with Ciel in his arms.
Sebastian: Are you alright, Young Master?
Ciel: Sh-shut up! Run faster!
Sebastian: Yes. (leaps)
___________________________
In the Trancy mansion, ballroom
Hannah continues playing the armonica, reviving the guests.
Soma: (punching the guest) Darn it! This is never-ending!
The servants and Soma, were surrounded by the manipulated guests respectively who had gathered too close for comfort.
Agni: (running to Soma) Master Soma! Suddenly another music piece was heard and we see beautiful, perfect, gorgeous, magnificent, wonderful, heavenly, (okok, you get the idea) slender hands with black nails (not forgetting the contract on the left hand) playing the glass harp (an instrument made of upright wine glasses).
The guest who are controlled by Hannah suddenly stopped moving.
Agni: Master Soma! Master Soma! Are you hurt?
Soma: Agni, what is going on?
Sebastian continues playing the glass harp (heavenly~ or devilishly)
Soma; This sound….
The three servants looked up.
Finnian: Ah! It’s Mr Sebastian!
Ah~ and we have our lovely akuma (demon) butler playing it in such peaceful melody.
Finnian: Somehow it gives off a kind of leisurely vibe.
Meirin: Relaxing!
Agni: Ah~ this is amazing. (screen shows Hannah playing) Under the combination of that lady’s performance and Mr Sebastian’s performance, the acoustic has undergone a change. (screen shows Sebastian playing) That kind of distorted and strange sound can actually become a melody filled of gentleness and love. This has completely represented the performers’ pure souls.
Agni: This is outstanding! You are indeed a very outstanding person! Mr Sebastian!
Hannah continues playing while Sebastian continues the little challenge of his and he was practically teleporting to the different glasses XD
Meirin: He is indeed very talented! (vomits blood) (really she did!!)
Eventually, everyone snaps out of the trance and walks to Sebastian. Ran Mao opens the slit of her robes to reveal Elizabeth and Paula. (….) Hannah plays more intensely and Sebastian narrows his eyes as he had already known of it. Eventually the glass broke and Hannah collapse to the ground. (if I’m not wrong, there seemed to be some demonic aura in it which leaked through when the glass broke)
Sebastian ended his performance and people started applauding.
Lady (red dress, blonde hair): An excellent performance!
Gentlemen (green suit with a black hat): Bravo!
Soma: This is…what happened?
Sebastian leaped off the gallery,
Sebastian: (to Hannah) Thanks to you, I am able to put up a wonderful performance. Thank you.
Ciel: Hmph, doing such exaggerated stuff. (I’m on your side Ciel)
Elizabeth: Ciel!
Ciel: What is it with the musical instrument?
Sebastian: Armonica. (the camera focuses on the spider on the armonica case.) In the 18th century, it was labeled as the Angel’s singing and it had once been a popular musical instrument. (the camera shifts to a man playing the armonica) Some were afraid of being mesmerized by its charms and were troubled by this. Hence it was being buried in the darkness of history, the demon’s musical instrument.
Ciel: The humans that created demon’s instrument, what does it count? It is not your opponent, is that so?
Sebastian: (smiles) That’s right, it has a very soothing sound.
Soma: So what is it with the commotion just now?
Alois: It’s only a sideshow.
Everyone turned to look at Alois who was standing at the opened doors with the triplets and Claude beside him.
Alois: Everyone, sorry that I’ve come late. I am Alois Trancy, please give me your guidance from now on. (continue behaving like this and you will have a lot more girls sprawling at your feet, young Earl!)
Guests: Woah! That is him! He is still very young!
Alois: (glares at Hannah before turning back) During the time of my absence, you all seemed to have enjoyed the sideshow. I’m relieved.
Alois walks over to Ciel and Sebastian.
Alois: (to Sebastian) A magnificent performance. You seemed to be musically talented.
Sebastian: To say that this is a talent would be too presumptuous. I am just one hell of a butler/ I am a demon and a butler.
Alois: (turns to look at Ciel) You have a good butler, Earl Phantomhive.
Ciel: (annoyed) He is only a butler.
Sebastian: Young Master, I would like a word with Claude for a short while, would it be alright?
Claude: Go then, Claude. (evil frown) (music starts playing) I would only give you 10 minutes. Settle it within 10 minutes. If you can’t do it, I’ll have to punish you.
Claude: Yes, your highness. (poor claude…go play with your eel after this, a great way to distress)
Ciel: (frown) Hurry and get it settled before returning, got it?
Sebastian: (smiles) Yes, my lord.

Claude: This is the master’s orders. To obtain Ciel Phantomhive from the hand’s Sebastian Michealis.
Sebastian: That (referring to Ciel) belongs to me, my Young Master.
Claude: (looking at his hand) That touch (opens and closes his fingers in a cycle) is really highly superior.
Sebastian: Just thinking of the Young Master being touched by other people other than me, I feel terribly appalled by this. You want to use those white, thick spider threads of yours to sully the Young Master.
Claude: (taking down his glasses) Ciel Phantomhive.

Flash back
The clock chimes and the crow took flight. A spider is seen creeping on the beak of the crow (creepy!)
The scene draws back to Sebastian and Ciel.
Sebastian: This is…
Sebastian turns away and falls to his knees.
Sebastian: (distraught) My Young Master had became void on the inside.
Then a smile appears on his face as the cracks starts to form on the building and the place starts to collapse.
The dark image of Sebastian and Ciel were seen as Sebastian carries Ciel out of that place.
Sebastian: It was that time when you had snatched away the Young Master from my hands, stole the Young Master’s soul which I had treasured

Claude: It was not all perfect. If there is only the soul, then it is essential the flesh and body is obtained too. Hence, you came in the end.

With one giant twister and two smaller ones, the butlers fight it out at the lake.

In the Trancy Mansion
Claude: Ciel Phantomhive lost his memory and had forgotten the pain of his self-existence. At the lake
Sebastian: (emerged from the waters) The Young Master’s soul which I had nurtured…
Claude: So it really was the case.
Sebastian: (glares at Claude)
Claude: You yearn for a soul that seeks vengeance.
Sebastian: (looks behind him)
Claude: But……. (emerged behind Sebastian and grips Sebastian’s neck with his left hand, attempting to strangle him) you harbor a different thought and you have a strong persistence to that soul.
Sebastian: (smiles) Of course, because I am a demon. Don’t you have a master too?
Claude: Nurturing souls out of our greed, this is our nature. (fondling with Sebastian’s suit.)
(this is so wrong…..I predict ClaudeXSeb Doujinshi, Yaoi Hardcore coming up soon)
Claude; My master is also one of the few souls that has met my desires. However, to once again complete the revenge of a soul that has lost its memories, humans do not have such worth.
Sebastian: (smiling) My Young Master is different from the humans you have met so far.
Sebastian slams his hand on water and flips midair, now holding Claude in his hands, holding Claude at knifepoint.
Sebastian: Speaking of a second revenge, I had indeed intend to complete the Young Master’s revenge once more. However, I am still lacking the crux.
Claude: Oh?
Sebastian: Someone to take revenge on.
The view zooms out.
Sebastian: Just now, your Master’s order was for you to snatch away the Young Master from my hands?
Claude: To present you the pain more excruciating than death itself. (Sebastian loses his grip on Claude)
Claude: Then, he who lost the memories of his completed revenge, this Ciel Phantomhive is of no purpose. What I have to obtain would be the completed Ciel Phantomhive who has his revenge. (Claude puts on his glasses)
Sebastian: Thinking of striking a deal with me? (a demon striking a deal with another demon….)

Ciel: Eating such food, what am I suppose to recall? Besides, I hate spicy food.

Ciel: However, the taste is not bad. (as a matter of factly)
Soma: (smiles)
Suddenly there was movement underneath the table cloth where Ciel is sitting. Ciel backs off only to see Lau appearing from the table cloth.
Ciel: (!!!) Lau!
Lau: Eh? Earl, ever since then, what exactly has happened?
Agni: You were in such a place?
______________
Some room…. (it is very, very grand!)
A white rose with purple stalk is placed on a silver plate with silver cutlery
They removed the gloves of the hands, revealing the contract and yes, they both have black fingernails. The eyes of Sebastian and Claude glow bright violet. Sebastian proceeds to bite him hand while Claude used a knife to cut his hand. They both let their blood dripped onto the white rose.
Sebastian: I will treat you as the Young Master’s object of vengeance.
Claude: Let’s enjoy Ciel Phantomhive whose revenge is completed. (picks up the rose)
Sebastian: Sealed. (tosses the rose to Claude)
They both let their blood drip into the exchanged rose such that their blood are intermixed. The blood changes colour from bright red to black. Sebastian and Claude then licked their wound. Sebastian’s eyes stopped glowing and a smirk appears on his face.

Alois: (looking at his pocket watch) One minute left.
Ciel: Ah!
Alois: Ah! Claude!
Ciel: How was it?
Sebastian: I have followed your orders and had settled it smoothly.
Ciel: What joke is this?!
Sebastian takes out a stack of notes from his suit and presents it to Ciel
Ciel: uh.. (looks at Sebastian before taking it and flipping through the pages) This is…an investigation of me?
Ciel stopped as he came to a page on Vincent Phantomhive, his father.
Ciel: (glances at Sebasitan) They even know about matters of Father. Then, then, so it appears, that guy…
Alois turns around and smirked at Ciel, his fangs showing.
Alois: Why is it that Sebastian is still alive? Lost your job, Claude? (took the black rose from Claude) Haha, lost your job…. (sinister smile) How should I punish you then?
Claude: (narrows his eyes, probably irritated) Killing Sebastian Michealis was not part of your Highness’s order.
Alois: (shock) Ah..
Claude: (takes back the rose) We shall follow with the standard procedures. Turning day into night, white into dark red, lies into truths, this is the Trancy butler.
Alois appears to be frightened of Claude now…
Claude: I will greedily devour you to the end/ I will greedily desire you to the end.
Ciel glares at Alois.
The music starts playing.
Elizabeth: Ciel~ where are you?
Elizabeth bumps into Alois who decides to hit on her. (look, he’s straight! Stop saying he isn’t! >.< )
Alois: Let’s dance, Lady Elizabeth!
Elizabeth: Ah! Earl! Uh, I’m sorry but I’m looking for Ciel! Ah! (if you don’t want to dance with him, I can always take your place XP or maybe I’ll grab Ciel who is vacant, or Sebas-chan!)
Alois completely ignored her and carried on dancing. Elizabeth can only watch helplessly at Ciel.
Ciel handed the newspaper to Sebastian.
Sebastian: Oh? Are you dancing?
Ciel: Quiet.
Soma was seen with Agni
Soma: Ciel?
The scene draws to Lau and Ran Mao and the servants
Lau: See, hasn’t it become a very happy party? Right, Ran Mao?
Ran Mao: Nods
Meirin: The Young Master has gone to dance?
Bard: This is rare.
Finnian: We should dance too! (pulls Bard and Meirin with him)
Ciel was seen dancing with an adult lady as all the dancers formed 2 circles
Sebastian and Claude exchange glances and nods while they whipped out their pact rose. Sebastian place the rose to his nose (it rhymes!)
Alois completely ignores her but goes on to cross path with Ciel.
Ciel and Alois exchange glares as they both meet back to back.
Alois: Ciel Phantomhive
Ciel: Alois Trancy
Alois: I must
Ciel: I must
Alois: make you mine.
Ciel: kill you.
The scene ends as Alois held a worried Elizabeth in his hands, and Ciel glares at Alois behind him.

Epidemic in the Great Britian? How to summon a fairy
__________________________
Step 1 It takes the morning dew to find the beautiful spider web, wear a veil to hide your real face
Step 2 "Hoheotararuna, Ronderotareru" and chant the secret spell
Step 3 Tell the fairy your wishes and make your promise
++++++++++++++++++++++
「 ホヘオタラルナ、ロンデロタレル 」 even Japanese fans do not know what language it is... I'm guessing it's some Ancient chants, but I can't find any answers except for the Black Tabloid page, I really need to read it up now!
Edit: If I'm correct, Hoeotararuna means "Beautiful Hill"
I did a google search and found that Hoheotararuna can be split to "Hoheo", "Tararuna" which are basically means "Beautiful" and "Hill" (which might be applicable for "hill" since Alois lived in a place called the Azukuno Hill"
or it can be splited to "Hohe" "O" "Tararuna"
And Ronderotareru can be split to "Londero" "Tareru", the former's a name but the latter's in Japanese meaning to "lean or stay" but I don't think that it is suppose to be Japanese.
Thinking that it must be Latin since for things like crest, Dignitas, etc, I tried to search up the dictionary but nothing comes out.
In conclusion, it's the fairy language, Gibberish. What it means, I guess it's just a chant..
Just someone who happens to like Anime and Japan. That's all.
Don't come ranting on how I mistranslated the dialouges, I treat this as a way to improve my japanese as well as a passion. Even if you are thinking that I'm a bad translator, I do know that too.

`Kalafina 輝く空の静寂には
It's sad, what can I say? And it played after they showed us Alois's sad past.
Just in case you are wondering, why is there music playing when you enter my website, it's because I'm on a music rampage ^^
All the songs are played on the Armonica, which was what Hannah Annafellows played in episode 6.
Just a tip to starters: When you first play, you'll probably feel a headache coming when listening to it due to the vibrations of the air molecules. Therefore you need to perfect it. The amount of moisture on your fingers, how you actually play the Armonica and how long you linger your fingers play a big part in the quality of sound.
However it does not come cheap. An Armonica cost US$8,000 and above, and a second hand's price is not much lower too. Besides, you need a tutor too, and there are few who actually teaches it since it is not a mainstream instrument unlike a piano, violin or guitar.
Thus, do your research before buying!

`5 November
I wonder why I hadn't notice this earlier! ( I blame my poor memory for this)
Happen to see this on a discussion somewhere online...
5 November (alois's birthday)
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night (or, more casually in recent times as Fireworks Night), is an annual celebration held on the evening of 5 November to mark the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the Houses of Parliament in London.
Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent To blow up the King and Parli'ment. Three-score barrels of powder below To prove old England's overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd (or by God's mercy*) With a dark lantern and burning match. Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! And what should we do with him? Burn him!
I highlighted Treason and Plot, because basically that is what Kuroshitsuji is about~ Ciel is suspected of Treason and the whole storyline is...plotty! Burn him was highlighted as that's what Margaret Turner kept saying
A penny loaf to feed the Pope A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A fagot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah hoorah!
Ol' probably read as Ole?
Guy, guy, guy Poke him in the eye, Put him on the bonfire, And there let him die
Umm Umm, yeah eye, poke, you get the picture
5 November
The Hither Green rail crash was an accident on the British railway system that occurred on 5 November 1967 near Hither Green maintenance depot, between Hither Green and Grove Park railway stations, in south-east London.
Refer to Tero Shitsuji
By the way: The producers did extensive research before starting on this project, so this is probably not a coincidence.

`Kuroshitsuji II Episode 9 Thoughts
To sum it up, this episode is LOVE!
I like how Claude hypnotised Ciel. He knew that Ciel was breaking and took this opportunity to mix up Ciel's memories and force him into thinking that he is Alois Trancy.
The triplets are cute when they drew the picture of "what-shall-happen-when-Claude-gets-Alois's-soul" They really are a klutz. I mean, many klutz!
I hate Ciel being tortured, no! Never! First Sebastian, now Ciel!?
Alois and Ciel are one now, Aloisel! or Cielois! So you understand what Alois meant by he wanted to be one with Ciel?
I COINED THE WORD CIELOIS/ALOISEL
Summary: Claude told the Servants what he wanted to do to Alois, thus making them all demons Claude laid a series of trap by posing as the Queen and setting Ciel off cases when in fact that was to lure him in. The triplets posed as Ciel and gored many young boys' eyes out Ciel investigates
Ciel states that if you connect the place where the boys' eyes are gourged, it forms a spider web and they should go to the centre Then Sebastian realised it and placed Ciel in a box again big crate and telling him not to come out (just like in ep 24 "whatever you do, do not open your eyes) The children sings London Bridge is falling down and Ciel gets reminded of his past He recounts Angela, Lolita Victoria, etc and also Sebastian putting him in a suitcase and of course the Trancy Ciel gets mad for being kept in the dark as everyone knew about the truth except him and flares up, saying that he will not tolerate being ordered, thus coming out from the crate.
PS: Ciel shouted to the kids "Kids should play at home!" to which they say "You are a kid too!"
He sees "Alois" running in the alley and follows but multiple Alois came out Eventually they came to a dead end but before Ciel can catch him, some doctors came with Hannah who pointed Ciel as "Alois" her master. Ciel said he is not and that he is Ciel Phantomhive but Hannah says it's because he has gone mad due to abuse by his Father aka pedophile Count Trancy Hannah further states that Ciel was the one gourging the boys' eyes out.
Ciel points that the real Alois is there but the triplet has disappeared thus he was brought to the torture chambers Claude rescued him by killing hate people and fuses Alois soul with him by making him disorientated after he was traumatised
I suspect Claude's glasses helped him.
How he hypnotise Ciel, for example
Ciel: I am Ciel Phantomhive Claude: Yes, you are Alois Trancy
Ciel: My parents are killed Claude: Yes, your brother is killed
continues, until
Ciel: Count Trancy...he sullied me.... Claude: Yes, that is correct
Why it works: Because Ciel's soul is mixed with Alois but in Ciel's body, the brain retains more of Ciel's memories so Claude needs to draw out the subconcious Alois's memory so that Ciel thinks he is Alois or rather AloiscumCiel
Sebastian battles with Hannah
That Butler, experienced
Now you've done it, you destroyed the perfect gentleman image in my mind!!! Please don't do this again....I'm in shock!
Without a doubt, I was vomiting at that.
That aside, Sebastian won and was strangling Hannah when she was lifted off ground. I've never seen him so angry....Scary.......he beating a lady is like seeing spouse abuse (NOO!!!!) Remember what he said to Ciel about slapping Elizabeth. Okay, I know Hannah is a demon, but!!!!
Alright so Sebastian confronts Claude when he hears Ciel scream and found Ciel shivering in fright. He tries to bring back his master but then Ciel just gets more agitated but eventually he commands Claude to get rid of Sebastian (Claude makes him believe Sebastian killed Luka, his brother) Sebastian is shocked (yes, like how I was shock seeing him and Hannah) Claude smirks and said that "A master's order is absolute" and Sebastian leaves politely, still fuming
He rambles on how he took too much effort to prepare a lovely meal, and this is the result (being stolen from him) I'm not used to a rambling Sebastian
So please cheer up Sebastian!
If you can get bocchan back, I can give you a kitten, unless you prefer me :D
Random!

`Playing the Armonica
Influenced by Hannnah, hence I decided to take up the Armonica
What better song than to play this?
When I played it at first, I felt a little headache due to the vibrations. But listen beyond the superficial notes itself and you will find the lovely voices of the angels. It was hard trying to play it because you need friction and some moisture.
No, I DID NOT lick my fingers. It's one of the hardest instrument to play, partly because few play this, fewer are even masters at this, not to mention that it is virtually unknown in the 21st century

`Alois's ring
Source: Black Tabloid
Rough Translation:
The Head of the Trancy Household's ring, it is worn on the index finger of Alois's right hand. It is a red, exceptionally large and bright ruby,the gem of speaking, which is (the symbolism) of passion, courage and freedom. This gem is not just for his (Alois) exagerration as mentioned.
-any mistakes in translation is deeply regretted
Does it makes any sense to you? Anyway, it basically means that this is the Trancy Household's ring, much like Ciel's only that this is red, big and is made of bright ruby. It represents passion, courage and freedom and (if I'm not wrong) the last line means that the above description is not an overstatement (?)
It is worn on the right hand of Alois's index finger, so there!

`Summer
Since it is summer, I shall introduce the something relating to Summer
Summer Fashion!
Yukata
No, really, this is a Yukata.
For dogs.
Yukata is a casual form of the kimono, typically worn during summer. They are also worn bathing inns. Unlike the formal kimono, they can be made of cotton or synthetic fabrics, and not just limited to silk. Normal it is easy to tell the wearer of the yukata as young adults, teenagers and children would wear brighter colours while adults and the elders would wear darker colours, though it is possible for the vice vesa to occur
Geta
The geta are sandals with elevated wooden base held on the foot with a fabric thong. They are normally worn with traditional Japanese clothing like the kimono or yukata, although now Western slippers can be worn in place of geta. The height may vary from geta to geta. Breaking the thongs of one's geta is very unlucky so be sure that you don't do that! I've heard from my Japanese relatives that those shiny ones are in the rage now, though I still prefer the traditional ones.
Obi
The obi is a kind of sash that goes with the yukata, kimono etc. There are many kinds of Obi and designs too. Colours that are contrasting to the yukata itself or matches the print on the yukata would bring out the best in the attire (at least that is what I feel). Pre-tied obi are popular as it is not as troublesome as tying your own Obi.
Pretied Obi
Obijime
A piece of string to keep the obi in place by tying it round your body
Liesel signing off In summer
By the way, those are YoYo Tsuri, which we can win through a game where they float on the water in a huge container. Using a W-hook, you need to try and hook the loop at the end of the string. They are balloons partly filled with water and you can actually play with it like a yoyo! Hence the name. As the hook is fasten with paper, if you get them wet, they're strength would be greatly weaken!
Having played this several times, i was able to get hold of some Yoyo Tsuri. Aren't they lovely? ^^
I really feel bad for Alois. If for anything, his past is worse than Ciel. I wouldn't start a debate on how and why his past is worse but, well, just see the video to rethink on why he is so twisted.
Firstly, he was orphaned and his only family is Luka. Besides that they had to endure the bullies from the other adults from the village, and they are only children!
Secondly, to force yourself to entertain an old and ugly man? That takes some guts. I mean, to actually strip yourself to the lowest form of humanity and to serve yourself to a total stranger. He had completely degradable himself to the position of a whore. (literally, don't get me wrong, I love Alois and the producers are more cruel than Alois himself) If I ever am those oba-san who cries over soap operas, my house would be flooded by now. To engage in sexual activities with a man so perverted and heartless, Alois is really desperate, desperate to climb out of the living hell.
Don't say that Alois is a whore or that he is bringing it upon himself. Because he is being forced to. He has practically no right over his life, if he does not resort to this, he would be like the other boys, "disinfected" and disposed. Rather than being that, he chose to be a sex slave of Count Trancy. That way, while he planned to kill him off, at least he can inherit his estate and he wouldn't have to worry about being bullied. This is the same as him trading his purity for power. Under normal circumstances, it would be something that we scoff and look down upon but this case is unique because Alois has to do it or he would probably be in a state worse than being a sexually abused.
But he did realise that even if he was the Trancy Earl, it is but a facade. Nobody cares about him in the end, not his servants, not Claude, not Ciel.
In the end, he is but a lonely kid, he has to walk life alone. He chose to make a contract with Claude because his only thought now was to save his skin. he eventually realise he was a pawn. That's why he was so clingy to Claude even though Claude wanted Ciel. Claude despise Alois but still he stuck with Alois because Alois's soul could act as a desert, if not a main course.
Alois knew it but he chose to overlook it because Claude was the only one he had, even if he was bonded to Alois through a contract, a contract that benefits the demons but undermines the human. That's why he said that,"Claude, you're my Highness."
Claude was of course appalled at this pathetic human but it further shows how Alois just wanted a companion, a friend, even if it was a demon who would eat him. Alois is but an innocent tainted by the cruelty of this world.
Rattling too much here! I really want to hug Alois!! He needs a teddy bear!

`Toboso Yana Sensei's view on online, illegal streaming
I must admit, I was very surprised to see it on her blog. I always thought her blog was cheery (well, the contents are....I mean with Sebastian and Ciel, what isn't?!)
I agree on her point, it is a serious problem. Sure, there's the old age argument that if I watch it online, I make the series more popular by promoting it and joining the long stream of fans already head over heels in love with it. The truth is, mangaka draw manga for passion and income too right?
Even if Sensei calls us thief, I guess we are. We are watching her anime online without paying her. It's just like a kid sneaking into a cinema without paying and watching a N15+ movie. Then telling the cinema operators :" Hey! I watched XXX film for free by sneaking in!" It's illegal and wrong. Even if the kid was to say:" But I can't buy the tickets! They won't let me!" It is still wrong. If you are the operator, how would you feel? People sneaking into your cinema and watching for free? It's not about money now but more of the indignant feeling that you are being ripped off.
True, you may accuse me of saying all these because I live so close to Japan and sometimes even staying there for a while but that does not mean that I am any different from people in regions further away. There is something called internet shopping, which I do for some mangaka who's books might be sold out in my country due to it being less popular. Even though now, I am paying for shipping fee + tax + the original manga Surely, buying 1 or 2 books off the internet to just support them isn't too hard? No excuse for not having access to the internet if you are reading this now.
In addition, the cost of living in Japan is really high and all the sales count would go to the royalties paid to Toboso Sensei. She has worked hard and she deserves it.
Starving is not exagerrating, isn't it just like when you said :" GOD! I failed that test I'm going to DIE~~" or "My mother's going to KILL ME!!!!" She had used a really formal and polite tone and she probably just wants to highlight the severity of the situation. Decades, for decades illegal downloading is going on and isn't it time fans realise the impact of their actions?
Imagine if Volume 10 of the manga comes out and only one person buys and uploads it online which everyone reads from there and no other person buys, what do you think is going to happen? The effect is really spiralling.
Fans do scanlations and uploading to share it with other fans hoping that they will buy too and support the mangaka, thats why I can't stress enough on how I hope that fans can buy the real thing but read scanlations to understand the context if they don't know. Doesn't it make scanlations and subs video less "illegal??"
I am really disappointed in the people would are chiding Sensei for just wanting to protect her work.
Sensei, nevermind those mindless comments, you really aren't in the wrong unlike what they claimed, you have the right to be angry and as a fan of yours, I full-heartedly support you! Hang in there!

`Jim? Jim who?
Wait! I'm confused! Isn't the boy's name Luka Macken?
source: Black Tabloid
Translation: In the village where Alois spent his early life, Luka is a boy who was loved as a brother. In the same predicament as Alois, he calls Alois "Brother", who he was attached to.
Is Jim an undercover name?
Correct me if my translation is wrong ^^

`Kuroshitsuji II Episode 7
Since they subs are out before I've even started on it, I'll not do the translation.
Some important things to take note: 1) Ciel's revenge is not complete: He wants to kill all those who had humiliated him, Sebastian had killed those who directly contributed to this cause but not those who had indirectly do so
2) Therefore, Alois who had been plotting secretly is responsible for it and thus Ciel wants to kill him.
3) Spiders play an important role. As Sebastian referred to Claude as the 'spider butler", the spiders that are a symbolism of the Trancy household, the spider letter wax seal, the spider crest
4) Hannah and the triplets are definitely related to demons. Or better yet, Claude
5) Look at the triplets! They are totally controlled by Claude and how Claude gives them commands and they are able to follow it immediately. The 3 baka servants don't do that, they have a mind of their one.
6) How Claude extracts the sword from Hannah no human's mouth or stomach can actually contain such large object. ( The way she says "Claude" is quite hinting too. I'm not sure what is your view on this but it sounded as if she is devoted to him)
7) Actually demons are quite childish (food fight)
8) Sebastian can sew and dance! A demon man who can cook, sew, dance, protect you from dangerous armed mafias is definitely your MR. RIGHT. (too bad his MISS. RIGHT must fulfil the criteria of having silky and luxurious fur, squeezable paws and having a playful tail)
9) Claude's glasses He took them off again.
10) Spider thread So Claude intends to follow the feet of Spiderman? The thread he claims is able to cut through steel and we have seen Sebastian being cut by it
11) The sword is a legendary treasure. H ow on Earth did Claude acquire that? He might have the same rank as Sebastian or even higher.
12) Claude has better strategies than Sebastian. We did see Sebastian being cornered by Claude's sword and spider web. This is really unlike Sebastian.
13) Alois is as sly as Ciel. He was aware that Ciel was going to cheat. (ciel states that they should count to 10 and walk in oppposite direction, back to back, and only turn around and fight at the count of 10 but Ciel cheated by turning at 5 in which Alois was already prepared and had his sword pointing at Ciel.)
14) Alois is a better swordsman than Ciel. Just watch the duel to find out
15) Ciel is more intelligent in the end. Where he turned the tables and stabbed Alois in the end.
16) Alois has lower pain tolerance than Ciel. He toally wept and thrash around after being stabbed by Ciel. Ciel, after clenching his hand on the sword Alois had wanted to use to stab him, was still energetic enough to slap Claude and Sebastian. How about when Alois threw him from the second floor down? He could still hold out (though we know that a normal human would die but this is anime~) And in the first season when Ciel was shot numerous time by the guards?
17) Claude is lusting after Ciel's soul rather than Alois's.
He kept licking the blood and saying that "That (ciel's) is the soul that all demons seek. Revenge, hatred yet pure and white (not exact quotes but yeah, I'm lazy to refer back so that will do)
18) Blood is connected to soul Claude was licking Ciel's blood (after Ciel's blood-stained hands slapped him) and he stunned out to the point that Sebastian had to ask "Claude?" Which means that if you taste someone's blood, you can actually taste a part of their soul
19) Sebastian is highly possessive! Look at how much he empathsizes MY BOCCHAN! and how he refuses to let Claude have a taste of Ciel's soul, let alone a lick of it
20) Claude has no interest in Alois He didn't even help Alois as Alois kept crying "Help me! Help me!"
21) Claude is more of a demon than Sebastian: We have a demon who does not care for the welfare of his master and one that goes all the way for his master
22) Alois is just lonely that is probably why he is sadistic, he wants attention and probably goring Hannah's eye to attract the attention of Claude. If Hannah belongs to Claude, he must be wanting for Claude to show some emotion, which he unfortunately didnt.
23) Claude is not as willing as Sebastian to play along with Alois's little game Remember how he outrightly shot down Alois's statement of "punishing him" as he didn't kill Sebastian?
24) The Trancy Mansion is big yes, very...
25) The Druitt is still bothered about the fact that he is an ex-convict right
26) the chant that Alois kept repeat? It should be something he used to summon Claude and mistakenly thought that it is to tie Claude to him
27) Claude shows no reaction so it really wasn't the chant that summon him
One suggestion to the Kuroshitsuji II producers Label this as M18+ already! Rape between an old fat and ugly man and a shota who is his suppose son! Gore Alois sticking his fingers into Hannah's eye socket Alois tempting the Trancy Earl to rape him.....

`Kuroshitsuji II Episode 7 thoughts
Firstly, the animation was so good~~
the sword coming from Hannah's mouth was....disturbing, it's so big!
Food fight, lol, just proves that claude isnt as competent since the food landed on him. Sebastian is just too.....
The triplets are surely demons! Their eyes glowed. and Sebastian stichting his clothes while fighting is taunting!
And how Ciel drops to the ground from the second level, he should have broken bones yet he was still able to slap-fight Sebastian. And Sebastian was holding him like he would with a cat..
I like how Sebastian dances after Ciel stabbed alois.
Alois keeps saying "help me, help me!" yet Claude doesnt care, that's too cruel!! I guess when you are a demon, cruelty is a part of you.
But the preview is badass! Alois is such flirt~ I mean tempting his sex-deprived father to rape him? this is really bad for his emotional and mental upbringing. I feel as if I'm watching a yaoi anime! An old man and a shota no less! That's just more gross
And Alois raping Hannah? I don't think it really is rape, Alois was crying when he was lying on top of her. I can see that he feels really hurt.
Still, Hannah doesn't deserve this! -torn-
Sigh, tragedy.

`Who Hannah is?
Just some weird theories of mine, not to be taken seriously though feel free to debate about my points
There is a lot of theories behind who Hannah is: 1) Demon 2) Alois's mother 3) Just a servant who gets abuse as she had a horrible master
Personally I think she might be the mother of Alois. I mean she isn't that young, nor is she too old.
If you know about the Victorian House, in the master servants getting raped by their masters aren't that uncommon. The lady of the house normally do not have control over their husbands, since women are more of a commodity at that time. If it really is so, then that can explain why she does not leave Alois.
Besides that, Alois might be unfeeling to her for 2 possible reasons:
1) He hates her for being born to a person of a lower social class, thus not getting his noble privileges 2) He does not know about her being his mother.
Considering that this theory is correct, maybe the original Young Earl (whose mother committed suicide) is dead and Anna had sent Alois to the village (without the knowledge of the late Trancy Earl) to hide the misdeeds and the late Trancy Earl might be finding Alois so that he can have a inheritance to his estate and name.
I doubt she is a demon, as we all see how vulnerable she is but I dont think she is just a servant. She just being in the OP (which the triplets isn't) is a huge hint.
I guess Mother is the most convincing role now.
Oh yeah, by the way my doujinshi group, Strawberry Scans, had opened a forum for people to view the compiled doujinshi from different circles. Do visit here: Strawberry Scans Forums Join and show your support, thanks :D
Through the crow’s eye, Sebastian and Ciel’s figure were seen. The eyes changes to Ciel’s blue eyes in which Sebastian’s image was being reflected.
Sebastian: Then, Young Master
Ciel closes his eyes and Sebastian’s eyes glowed bright violet, his tongue licking his lips. Sebastian placed his hands on Ciel’s face and was about to kiss him devour his soul, a sinister smile plastered to his face.
Suddenly the clocktower chimes and the crow took off from the rubbled building. Sebastian stops in mid-action, appearing shocked.
Sebastian; !!
Sebastian’s eyes no longer glows and he retreated from Ciel. It seems that Ciel’s soul was already taken as he was unconscious when Sebastian retreated.
The triplets were leaping in the air, each carrying a weapon. Timber: a chisel, an axe, Canterberry: ladder, Thompson: a pincer . Carrying Ciel, Sebastian could only retreat as the triplets attack him.
Claude: (standing beside Alois) Attack, combine and fall into the despicability of hell. (waves commands with his hand as the triplets run in circles around him) (that’s pretty adorable..)
The triplets then run in circles around Sebastian and Ciel, weapons still in their hands. Sebastian and Ciel eyed their movements as the triplets proceeded with the assault. Thompson had his pincer around Sebastian’s ankle while Canterberry had the ladder around Sebastian’s body, immobilizing him as his hands are contained within the ladder rungs. Alois smirk as he saw Sebastian in a predicament and that Ciel was worried. Timber was about to wrap up with the finishing move with the chisel and the screen focuses on the chisel which is just a breath length away from Sebastian’s nose.
The triplets were then seen collapsed on the ground as Sebastian stands up on the tree with Ciel in his arm. (Ciel looks very vulnerable here, and really, really worried) The ladders and pincers are broken.
Sebastian: (smirking) How very capable.
The Canterberry and Timber got up and approach the tree only to have Sebastian leap off the tree, landing behind them. They turned around and chased the fleeing pair and Thompson joined them as he tackled Sebastian up front.
____________________________
Sebastian’s Flashback
Sebastian was leaping from tree to tree (this is the scene after he escapes from the Trancy Mansion)
Sebastian: At that time, Young Master really looked similar to a puppet. (carrying the suitcase) (take note that he is saying this in the present context)
____________________________
End of flash back
Ciel: Did you say something?
Sebastian: I said, if I were to put Young Master in a suitcase, it would be easier to transport you around. (cheeky!)
Ciel: (angry) Is this the time for jokes?!
Sebastian: I’m sorry.
Sebastian and Ciel are running in the direction of Alois and Claude.
Alois: Mou~! ( meaning “wow!” )
Claude steps forward to shield him. Sebastian attempts some fighting moves, probably to scare Claude off or just to test him. Claude didn’t flinch as Sebastian’s leg almost come into contact with his forehead. Sebastian then leaps into the air and above Alois and Claude before escaping. Alois was amazed and clings onto Claude.
Alois: wow….How powerful! Sebastian might even be more powerful than Claude. (my condolences Claude, for having such tactless master.) If you can let him collapse to the ground, that would be even more incredible. (zooms to Claude’s face) Can you do that, Claude?
Claude: (opening his eyes)
____________________________
Inside the Trancy Mansion, Ballroom;
The orchestra plays and people were dancing. Then the music stops and the dance ends.
Gentlemen: Eh? What is it?
Hannah then wheels in a big case and she pulls off the cloth cover.
Guest: That is….!
Lau: Ho?
Meirin: What is that?
Finnian: Is that a musical instrument? (excited)
Hannah then opens the case. Inside is the glass Armonica. (a type of musical instrument that uses a series of glass bowls or goblets graduated in size to produce musical tones by means of friction, normally played with wet fingers)
Lau: This is….it is unexpected that I can see such a thing at such functions.
Soma: You know what it is?
Hannah sits down and began licking her fingers, wet fingers, remember? (Dar lord…. A slurping sound was even heard so audibly). Music was heard and people crowded to hear Hannah play. At first it seemed like a melodious piece but soon it resulted in headaches to the listeners as Soma clutches his head in pain.
Soma: Argh!
Agni: Prince!
Agni experiences the pain too and so do the other guests.
Guest: What is this?!
_________________
Woodlands
Ciel: (sitting down and panting)
Sebastian was standing guard over him and he smiles, probably at the sight of his weak master. (hoho!) Sebastian’s smile turns into a frown as he hears the music of the Armonica.
Sebastian: (serious and anxious) Young Master, please cover your ears.
Ciel: My ears….argh! What kind of music is this?!
Sebastian: (covering Ciel’s eyes) This timbre, has not been heard for up to a hundred years.
Footsteps were heard and the triplet stands over Sebastian and Ciel, weapons in their hands and their eyes glowed dangerously in the moonlight.
_________________________________________________
In the Trancy Mansion, ballroom
Everyone starts groaning in pain as they collapse as some collapse to their knees.
Elizabeth: Argh!!
Paula: My lady!
Elizabeth: My head hurts!!
Finnian: Arghh...pain!!
Bard: Did I drink too much?!
Soma: (to Lau and Ran Mao) Hey! What is this all about?! Do you know what …?!
Lau and Ran Mao turned back.
Lau: Eh? What?
Ran Mao adjusts her ear plucks and Lau starts juggling his wine bottles. Suddenly, everyone who was tormented by the music stopped struggling. Their eyes glowed purple and they laughed creepily. Therefore Hannah was using the armonica to control them.
Agni; Soma-sama!
Those being controlled turned against those not being controlled. A man in red charges to Agni with a knife but Agni skillfully dodges it and tackled him. More people started attacking Agni.
Soma: What on Earth is going on?!
Agni: It seems that…they are being manipulated by that musical instrument.
_______________________________
The woodlands
Timber struck at Sebastian with his axe to which Sebastian manage to catch between his shoes while covering Ciel’s ears. (wonderful!) Timber was shocked and Thompson lash out at Sebastian using two saws. Sebastian frowns and throws the axe at Thompson, leading to Thompson and Canterberry behind him to be thrown back by the impact and colliding with the tree before they fall down. Timbre then ran back to his brothers, leaving a satisfied Sebastian with his Bocchan (young master), his hands still covering Ciel’s ears :D
Ciel: (serious) Sebastian, we have to return.
Sebastian: (smiles) Do not worry, because today some few of my friends are present.
_____________________________________________
In the Trancy Mansion, Agni has removed his bandaged hand which was emitting a bright blue light.
Agni; No!!
He jabbed a finger at the neck on Bard, Finnian and Meirin. Skeletal figures was seen as they are jabbed and then as if being electrified, they resumed back to normal and no longer hear the music.
Finnian: (happy) Woah! It has became quiet!
Meirin: The surrounding noise has became softer.
Bard: My head does not hurt now….eh?!
Finnian starts clutching his head and screaming in pain.
Finnian; Arghh!!!
Bard: This time, we are the ones who have become weird! Finnian: The sound seems to be delayed!
Meirin: It is a time lag attack.
Agni ties Soma’s hat around his ears so that he can’t hear the armonica.
Agni: Come, everyone.
Ran Mao shows off her awesome moves in her sexy robes and Soma has a trick or two as he knocks out Paula and Elizabeth who had just been taken controlled over.
Soma: I’m sorry. (to Elizabeth and Paula). Agni! Stop them under the conditions that they would not be hurt!
Agni: Yes. (it literally means, I accept your orders)
Bard had a man in his strong grips while Finnian threw a rounded table at the crazed guests. Meirin fired some shots at the weapons that the guests were holding. Some of the guests became surrounding Soma, forcing him back and thus resulting in him knocking on to the table behind. Soma looked back and saw the curry bread still on the plate, untouched.

In the woodlands
Sebastian runs with Ciel in his arms.
Sebastian: Are you alright, Young Master?
Ciel: Sh-shut up! Run faster!
Sebastian: Yes. (leaps)
___________________________
In the Trancy mansion, ballroom
Hannah continues playing the armonica, reviving the guests.
Soma: (punching the guest) Darn it! This is never-ending!
The servants and Soma, were surrounded by the manipulated guests respectively who had gathered too close for comfort.
Agni: (running to Soma) Master Soma! Suddenly another music piece was heard and we see beautiful, perfect, gorgeous, magnificent, wonderful, heavenly, (okok, you get the idea) slender hands with black nails (not forgetting the contract on the left hand) playing the glass harp (an instrument made of upright wine glasses).
The guest who are controlled by Hannah suddenly stopped moving.
Agni: Master Soma! Master Soma! Are you hurt?
Soma: Agni, what is going on?
Sebastian continues playing the glass harp (heavenly~ or devilishly)
Soma; This sound….
The three servants looked up.
Finnian: Ah! It’s Mr Sebastian!
Ah~ and we have our lovely akuma (demon) butler playing it in such peaceful melody.
Finnian: Somehow it gives off a kind of leisurely vibe.
Meirin: Relaxing!
Agni: Ah~ this is amazing. (screen shows Hannah playing) Under the combination of that lady’s performance and Mr Sebastian’s performance, the acoustic has undergone a change. (screen shows Sebastian playing) That kind of distorted and strange sound can actually become a melody filled of gentleness and love. This has completely represented the performers’ pure souls.
Agni: This is outstanding! You are indeed a very outstanding person! Mr Sebastian!
Hannah continues playing while Sebastian continues the little challenge of his and he was practically teleporting to the different glasses XD
Meirin: He is indeed very talented! (vomits blood) (really she did!!)
Eventually, everyone snaps out of the trance and walks to Sebastian. Ran Mao opens the slit of her robes to reveal Elizabeth and Paula. (….) Hannah plays more intensely and Sebastian narrows his eyes as he had already known of it. Eventually the glass broke and Hannah collapse to the ground. (if I’m not wrong, there seemed to be some demonic aura in it which leaked through when the glass broke)
Sebastian ended his performance and people started applauding.
Lady (red dress, blonde hair): An excellent performance!
Gentlemen (green suit with a black hat): Bravo!
Soma: This is…what happened?
Sebastian leaped off the gallery,
Sebastian: (to Hannah) Thanks to you, I am able to put up a wonderful performance. Thank you.
Ciel: Hmph, doing such exaggerated stuff. (I’m on your side Ciel)
Elizabeth: Ciel!
Ciel: What is it with the musical instrument?
Sebastian: Armonica. (the camera focuses on the spider on the armonica case.) In the 18th century, it was labeled as the Angel’s singing and it had once been a popular musical instrument. (the camera shifts to a man playing the armonica) Some were afraid of being mesmerized by its charms and were troubled by this. Hence it was being buried in the darkness of history, the demon’s musical instrument.
Ciel: The humans that created demon’s instrument, what does it count? It is not your opponent, is that so?
Sebastian: (smiles) That’s right, it has a very soothing sound.
Soma: So what is it with the commotion just now?
Alois: It’s only a sideshow.
Everyone turned to look at Alois who was standing at the opened doors with the triplets and Claude beside him.
Alois: Everyone, sorry that I’ve come late. I am Alois Trancy, please give me your guidance from now on. (continue behaving like this and you will have a lot more girls sprawling at your feet, young Earl!)
Guests: Woah! That is him! He is still very young!
Alois: (glares at Hannah before turning back) During the time of my absence, you all seemed to have enjoyed the sideshow. I’m relieved.
Alois walks over to Ciel and Sebastian.
Alois: (to Sebastian) A magnificent performance. You seemed to be musically talented.
Sebastian: To say that this is a talent would be too presumptuous. I am just one hell of a butler/ I am a demon and a butler.
Alois: (turns to look at Ciel) You have a good butler, Earl Phantomhive.
Ciel: (annoyed) He is only a butler.
Sebastian: Young Master, I would like a word with Claude for a short while, would it be alright?
Claude: Go then, Claude. (evil frown) (music starts playing) I would only give you 10 minutes. Settle it within 10 minutes. If you can’t do it, I’ll have to punish you.
Claude: Yes, your highness. (poor claude…go play with your eel after this, a great way to distress)
Ciel: (frown) Hurry and get it settled before returning, got it?
Sebastian: (smiles) Yes, my lord.

Claude: This is the master’s orders. To obtain Ciel Phantomhive from the hand’s Sebastian Michealis.
Sebastian: That (referring to Ciel) belongs to me, my Young Master.
Claude: (looking at his hand) That touch (opens and closes his fingers in a cycle) is really highly superior.
Sebastian: Just thinking of the Young Master being touched by other people other than me, I feel terribly appalled by this. You want to use those white, thick spider threads of yours to sully the Young Master.
Claude: (taking down his glasses) Ciel Phantomhive.

Flash back
The clock chimes and the crow took flight. A spider is seen creeping on the beak of the crow (creepy!)
The scene draws back to Sebastian and Ciel.
Sebastian: This is…
Sebastian turns away and falls to his knees.
Sebastian: (distraught) My Young Master had became void on the inside.
Then a smile appears on his face as the cracks starts to form on the building and the place starts to collapse.
The dark image of Sebastian and Ciel were seen as Sebastian carries Ciel out of that place.
Sebastian: It was that time when you had snatched away the Young Master from my hands, stole the Young Master’s soul which I had treasured
___________________
End of flashback
Claude: It was not all perfect. If there is only the soul, then it is essential the flesh and body is obtained too. Hence, you came in the end.
Sebastian: Yeah, that’s right, so that I can retrieve the soul.

Flash back where Ciel was taken out of the suitcase
Sebastian: However, he is not completely my Young Master.
Claude kicks at the surface of the water and causes a twister, ditto to Sebastian. Claude does it again and Sebastian retaliates in a similar way. The water sprouts combine to form a gigantic twister. __________________________

Sebastian: (putting the ring on Ciel’s finger) Now, Young Master, it is time for you to wake up.
Ciel opened his eyes where a shocked Sebastian looks on in surprise.

In the Trancy Mansion
Claude: Ciel Phantomhive lost his memory and had forgotten the pain of his self-existence. At the lake
Sebastian: (emerged from the waters) The Young Master’s soul which I had nurtured…
Claude: So it really was the case.
Sebastian: (glares at Claude)
Claude: You yearn for a soul that seeks vengeance.
Sebastian: (looks behind him)
Claude: But……. (emerged behind Sebastian and grips Sebastian’s neck with his left hand, attempting to strangle him) you harbor a different thought and you have a strong persistence to that soul.
Sebastian: (smiles) Of course, because I am a demon. Don’t you have a master too?
Claude: Nurturing souls out of our greed, this is our nature. (fondling with Sebastian’s suit.)
(this is so wrong…..I predict ClaudeXSeb Doujinshi, Yaoi Hardcore coming up soon)
Claude; My master is also one of the few souls that has met my desires. However, to once again complete the revenge of a soul that has lost its memories, humans do not have such worth.
Sebastian: (smiling) My Young Master is different from the humans you have met so far.
Sebastian slams his hand on water and flips midair, now holding Claude in his hands, holding Claude at knifepoint.
Sebastian: Speaking of a second revenge, I had indeed intend to complete the Young Master’s revenge once more. However, I am still lacking the crux.
Claude: Oh?
Sebastian: Someone to take revenge on.
The view zooms out.
Sebastian: Just now, your Master’s order was for you to snatch away the Young Master from my hands?
Claude: To present you the pain more excruciating than death itself. (Sebastian loses his grip on Claude)
Claude: Then, he who lost the memories of his completed revenge, this Ciel Phantomhive is of no purpose. What I have to obtain would be the completed Ciel Phantomhive who has his revenge. (Claude puts on his glasses)
Sebastian: Thinking of striking a deal with me? (a demon striking a deal with another demon….)

Ciel: Eating such food, what am I suppose to recall? Besides, I hate spicy food.
Elizabeth: (disappointed) uh
Agni: Prince.
Ciel: However, the taste is not bad. (as a matter of factly)
Soma: (smiles)
Suddenly there was movement underneath the table cloth where Ciel is sitting. Ciel backs off only to see Lau appearing from the table cloth.
Ciel: (!!!) Lau!
Lau: Eh? Earl, ever since then, what exactly has happened?

They removed the gloves of the hands, revealing the contract and yes, they both have black fingernails. The eyes of Sebastian and Claude glow bright violet. Sebastian proceeds to bite him hand while Claude used a knife to cut his hand. They both let their blood dripped onto the white rose.
Sebastian: I will treat you as the Young Master’s object of vengeance.
Claude: Let’s enjoy Ciel Phantomhive whose revenge is completed. (picks up the rose)
Sebastian: Sealed. (tosses the rose to Claude)
They both let their blood drip into the exchanged rose such that their blood are intermixed. The blood changes colour from bright red to black. Sebastian and Claude then licked their wound. Sebastian’s eyes stopped glowing and a smirk appears on his face.

Trancy Mansion ballroom
Alois: (looking at his pocket watch) One minute left.
Ciel: Ah!
Alois: Ah! Claude!
Ciel: How was it?
Sebastian: I have followed your orders and had settled it smoothly.
Ciel: What joke is this?!
Sebastian takes out a stack of notes from his suit and presents it to Ciel
Ciel: uh.. (looks at Sebastian before taking it and flipping through the pages) This is…an investigation of me?
Ciel stopped as he came to a page on Vincent Phantomhive, his father.
Ciel: (glances at Sebasitan) They even know about matters of Father. Then, then, so it appears, that guy…
Alois turns around and smirked at Ciel, his fangs showing.
Alois: Why is it that Sebastian is still alive? Lost your job, Claude? (took the black rose from Claude) Haha, lost your job…. (sinister smile) How should I punish you then?
Claude: (narrows his eyes, probably irritated) Killing Sebastian Michealis was not part of your Highness’s order.
Alois: (shock) Ah..
Claude: (takes back the rose) We shall follow with the standard procedures. Turning day into night, white into dark red, lies into truths, this is the Trancy butler.
Alois appears to be frightened of Claude now…
Claude: I will greedily devour you to the end/ I will greedily desire you to the end.
Ciel glares at Alois.
The music starts playing.
Elizabeth: Ciel~ where are you?
Elizabeth bumps into Alois who decides to hit on her. (look, he’s straight! Stop saying he isn’t! >.< )
Alois: Let’s dance, Lady Elizabeth!
Elizabeth: Ah! Earl! Uh, I’m sorry but I’m looking for Ciel! Ah! (if you don’t want to dance with him, I can always take your place XP or maybe I’ll grab Ciel who is vacant, or Sebas-chan!)
Alois completely ignored her and carried on dancing. Elizabeth can only watch helplessly at Ciel.
Ciel handed the newspaper to Sebastian.
Sebastian: Oh? Are you dancing?
Ciel: Quiet.
Soma was seen with Agni
Soma: Ciel?
The scene draws to Lau and Ran Mao and the servants
Lau: See, hasn’t it become a very happy party? Right, Ran Mao?
Ran Mao: Nods
Meirin: The Young Master has gone to dance?
Bard: This is rare.
Finnian: We should dance too! (pulls Bard and Meirin with him)
Ciel was seen dancing with an adult lady as all the dancers formed 2 circles
Sebastian and Claude exchange glances and nods while they whipped out their pact rose. Sebastian place the rose to his nose (it rhymes!)
Alois completely ignores her but goes on to cross path with Ciel.
Ciel and Alois exchange glares as they both meet back to back.
Alois: Ciel Phantomhive
Ciel: Alois Trancy
Alois: I must
Ciel: I must
Alois: make you mine.
Ciel: kill you.
The scene ends as Alois held a worried Elizabeth in his hands, and Ciel glares at Alois behind him.

Episode 7 Preview:
Sebastian’s dialogue:
Clap clap clap
The Young Master has finally found someone to seek vengeance against,
his hatred has resulted in his soul to boil up.
Come, let’s dance.
The dance of death, Danse Macabre (a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the Dance of Death unites all.)
Next time, Killer Butler (but also means Kill Butler/ Butler Killing up to your interpretations)
As the butler of the Phantomhive household,
it is only natural that I can burn the bamboo forest after the dance has ended.
This episode contains much hidden meaning such that I really couldn't catch much of it, gomen for the summary. Like I say, pinch of salt :D

Epidemic in the Great Britian? How to summon a fairy
__________________________
Step 1 It takes the morning dew to find the beautiful spider web, wear a veil to hide your real face
Step 2 "Hoheotararuna, Ronderotareru" and chant the secret spell
Step 3 Tell the fairy your wishes and make your promise
++++++++++++++++++++++
「 ホヘオタラルナ、ロンデロタレル 」 even Japanese fans do not know what language it is... I'm guessing it's some Ancient chants, but I can't find any answers except for the Black Tabloid page, I really need to read it up now!
Edit: If I'm correct, Hoeotararuna means "Beautiful Hill"
I did a google search and found that Hoheotararuna can be split to "Hoheo", "Tararuna" which are basically means "Beautiful" and "Hill" (which might be applicable for "hill" since Alois lived in a place called the Azukuno Hill"
or it can be splited to "Hohe" "O" "Tararuna"
And Ronderotareru can be split to "Londero" "Tareru", the former's a name but the latter's in Japanese meaning to "lean or stay" but I don't think that it is suppose to be Japanese.
Thinking that it must be Latin since for things like crest, Dignitas, etc, I tried to search up the dictionary but nothing comes out.
In conclusion, it's the fairy language, Gibberish. What it means, I guess it's just a chant..

Tarot card of the week
THE HANGED MAN
< font size=20 >Basic Card Symbols
A man hanging by one foot from a Tau cross - sometimes from a bar or tree. His free leg is always bent to form a "4," his face is always peaceful, never suffering. Sometimes his hands are bound, sometimes they dangle. Sometimes coins fall out of his pockets or hands.
Basic Tarot Story
The Fool settles beneath a tree, intent on finding his spiritual self. There he stays for nine days, without eating, barely moving. People pass by him, animals, clouds, the wind, the rain, the stars, sun and moon. On the ninth day, with no conscious thought of why, he climbs a branch and dangles upside down like a child, giving up for a moment, all that he is, wants, knows or cares about. Coins fall from his pockets and as he gazes down on them - seeing them not as money but only as round bits of metal - everything suddenly changes perspective. It is as if he's hanging between the mundane world and the spiritual world, able to see both. It is a dazzling moment, dreamlike yet crystal clear. Connections he never understood before are made, mysteries are revealed.
But timeless as this moment of clarity seems, he realizes that it will not last. Very soon, he must right himself, and when he does, things will be different. He will have to act on what he's learned. For now, however, he just hangs, weightless as if underwater, observing, absorbing, seeing.
Basic Tarot Meaning
With Neptune (or Water) as its planet, the Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. This is a time of trial or meditation, selflessness, sacrifice, prophecy. The Querent stops resisting; instead he makes himself vulnerable, sacrifices his position or opposition, and in doing so, gains illumination. Answers that eluded him become clear, solutions to problems are found. He sees the world differently, has almost mystical insights. This card can also imply a time when everything just stands still, a time of rest and reflection before moving on. Things will continue on in a moment, but for now, they float, timeless.
Thirteen's Observations
Neptune is spirituality, dreams, psychic abilities, and the Hanged Man is afloat in these. He is also 12, the opposite of the World card, 21. With the World card you go infinitely out. With the Hanged Man, you go infinitely in.
This card signifies a time of insight so deep that, for a moment, nothing but that insight exists. All Tarot readers have such moments when we see, with absolute clarity, the whole picture, the entire message offered by a spread. The Hanged Man symbolizes such moments of suspension between physical and mystical worlds. Such moments don't last, and they usually require some kind of sacrifice. Sacrifice of a belief or perspective, a wish, dream, hope, money, time or even selfhood. In order to gain, you must give. Sometimes you need to sacrifice cherished positions, open yourself to other truths, other perspectives in order to find solutions, in order to bring about change. One thing is certain, whether the insight is great or small, spiritual or mundane, once you have been the Hanged Man you never see things quite the same.
