Chapter 6 At Noon The Butler Activated
young master young lady yet more letters for the two of you have arrived today the season is nearly over damned idlers yet they're all.
in search of guests for their silly balls nothing good happens in London Earl Warwick Baron Bath Countess Gartland this is the English summer
is brief May through August when the weather is at its best is known as the season and the Aristocrats travel from their manors to?
their London town houses to socialise it has been a while since the young master and young lady last came to town house we wouldn't be here.
if not for that letter there are so many people you can't even walk properly it may prove a nice respite for you two to leave the
manor sometimes those four are nowhere to be found here so you two will be able to spend your days in peace.
good heavens where do they keep the tea in this house i don't see it anywhere Madam Red Lau what are you doing here the siblings yelled, I've
come to see my lovely nephew and niece who told me they were making their way to London why hello Lord Earl and Lady Countess i heard.
rumours that something of interest is afoot we apologise for not being able to greet our honourable guests i will have elevenses ready.
momentarily so please wait a while what a lovely aroma especially when prepared correctly today the tea is Jackson, s Earl Grey. Earl Grey can
taste this different Grelle you should follow his example yes in any case you are a most handsome fellow no matter how many times i look at.
you why don, t you come to my place instead of working at a manor house Madam Red.
let's get right down to it a few days ago a prostitute was killed in Whitechapel ah that incident the papers have been making a fuss over yes i
know of it but there must be something more to it since you're here yes this is no simple murder it is psychotic better yet abnormal that, s.
what concerns her what do you mean the victim Mary Ann Nichols was ripped to shreds with some sort of specialised cutting instrument the
city police and the local prostitutes have dubbed the killer Jack the Ripper we too hurried to London to verify the situation and i too am very.
curious to see what the Watchdog and the Watchcat will sniff out and catch what are you getting at have you two have the courage to gaze.
upon the scene of the crime the darkness and bestial odour that.
saturates the scene will eat away at those with the same karma you two may be trapped in madness should you two set foot there are you two.
prepared for that Earl and Countess Phantomhive we are here to eliminate the source of her distress do not waste our time with your worthless
questions yes lovely very lovely indeed both of those eyes of yours well since that, s been decided to let, s be off Lord Earl and Lady Countess
now wait men have no patience at least relax and finish your tea then I'll join you too so where is this crime scene Lau did you not.
know Madam then i suppose we'll have to ask someone around here you were babbling on when you didn't even know yourself.
quiet down no one said we were going to the crime scene eh we wouldn't be able to do much anyway because the place is already full.
of spectators and the yard won't take kindly to the two of us going there either then what do you two plan to do my Lord and Lady yes that's
right, we, d like to avoid it ourselves but that isn't an option he is the most reliable source of information regarding crimes like this.
so, where are we weren't you just acting like you knew all about it the young master and young lady acquaintance is an undertaker are you?
in undertaker hee i have been expecting you two i bid ye welcome Lord Earl and Lady Countess has your Lordship and Ladyship both
finally decided to step into the coffin that I've made specially for the both of you we think not today we are you two don't need to put it in
words i understand very well what milord and milady wishes to say she wasn't a client in the ordinary folk sense of the word see i cleaned her.
up right nice and pretty we want to hear about that let's have a chat I'll make some tea, or something won't you just take a seat somewhere.
over there now then you want to hear about Jack the Ripper yes.
the yard, s starting to get their knickers in a bunch about it now, but this isn't the first time I've had a client like that not the first time what do.
you mean in the past there've been a number of cases involving murdered whores but their intensity and cruelty to escalate the yard failed to
take notice because the murders weren't terribly bloody at the outset, but all the prostitutes killed in Whitechapel had a little something in
common something in common you say well what could it be whatever could it be wouldn't you like to know i see that, s how it is being an
undertaker is only his facade for normal society how much do you want for information how much i do not desire a single one of the queen, s
coins milord and milady give it to me bestow upon me the choicest laughter then i shall tell both of you anything.
that creep Lord Earl and Lady Countess please allow me to handle this people called me the sleeping tiger of new year's parties in shanghai.
and now i shall demonstrate that in full a fool on the futon oh you'll never do Lau very well Madam Red star of social circles shall share with
you her best tale his was and his was too an hour later that only leaves you two my milord and milady the last time i was a bit generous if.
i do say so myself but no specials this time damn Sebastian it appears there is nothing for it ohh master and lady butler, s having a go now is.
he everyone please step outside if you would Sebastian you must not under any condition peek inside, please come in he has agreed to speak.
to us well to get back to the matter at hand I'll tell you anything you wish to know for a while now I've occasionally had clients who are
how shall i say lacking you see lacking.
their innards that is before my clients can rest easy on their beds i must get them nice and clean yes and examining read playing with them as
i do my duty is a little hobby of mine you see so they were all lacking a kidney or some such in that case the killer is a loan shark or the like.
Chinese cellar rats think up the most disturbing things that's not what i meant it is something only a prostitute a girl would possess each was.
missing her uterus lately I've been seeing a rise in such clientele all of a sudden and their crimson rouge is becoming gaudier by the day it, s all.
keeping me very busy.
even with few passers by committing murder on the street moreover in the dead of night would it not be difficult for an amateur to cut out the womb with the necessary precision quite the bright candle aren't we master butler i have considered that myself well let's see first I'd take something sharp and slash the throat putting his fingers across Ciel, s throat the Undertaker then went to Skye putting his fingers near where Skye, s uterus is making circles with his fingers then i,,d cut right here and steal away the little precious Undertaker leave my sister alone yes my lord anyway the skill involved and the lack of hesitation points to a professional and most likely someone of the underworld at that and that is why i knew you two would come here milord milady.
if there were a possibility that the killer belonged to the underworld i expected you two would be summoned here without fail heed my words another will die and so will the murders continue until someone stops them can you two stop aristocrat of evil lord and lady Phantomhive the underworld has its own rules Ciel said Skye said its residents do not kill those on the other side without reason Ciel said and they do not invade polite society using the powers of the underworld Skye said finishing the full conversation by our family coat of arms we vow to eliminate without exception all who defile the gardens of the queen by any means necessary Ciel said excuse our intrusion Undertaker.
based on our earlier conversation Ciel said Skye said finishing we can now simplify our list of suspects yes quite first we have someone well versed in medical science and anatomy among them someone with no alibi on the nights of the murders and as the perpetrator has absconded with the uterus of each victim someone involved with a secret society or cult of black magic is also a possibility wait you call this simplified just how many people do you think gather in London during the season not only must one consider the doctors of London but also the family physicians that aristocrats have brought over from the countryside furthermore medical school graduates who never became doctors not to mention Orientals like Lau who are skilled in the use of needles and are familiar with human anatomy the season will be over.
in less than a week and the family physicians will return to the countryside then we need only investigate before the season ends come again we need only pay a call to each individual and verify his alibi prior to the season coming to a close verify their alibis even though we don't know their exact numbers yet please leave it to me i am the butler of the Phantomhive family it goes without saying that i can manage something as trivial as this i shall make a list of suspects and call on each of them immediately mister Grelle was it not eh yes please drive safely back to the townhouse now if you will excuse me hang on but the carriage is still moving.
he, s gone hey you watch where you're going yes Sebastian made some rather lofty claims but our butler said he would take care of it he will not return empty handed all we need to do is sip our tea and bide our time i agree Skye told them you two have great faith in him no that isn't it really it's just that he never lies ever yes he and the earl and the lady have spent much time together so their foundation is a solid one he has always been by the earl, s and the lady, s side like their shadow Sebastian, s only been in our service for two years you know ah is that so we've finally made it we had to take the long way round because Grelle got lost.
come Madam Red let us have a spot of afternoon tea and take a break welcome home i have been waiting for you your afternoon tea is ready a corn meal cake of pears and blackberries will be accompanying it today wait why are you here i returned in advance because i had finished my assignment your assignment so you already have a list not quite you see i simply compiled a list based on the characteristics we discussed earlier and paid each individual on that list that list a visit that was all however it did take some time because i investigated the aristocracy's family physicians as well really Sebastian that, s impossible even for you Sebastian told her everyone the alibi list.
based on these results i have narrowed down the list of suspects to but one individual let us discuss the details after tea how in the world did you manage such a thing Sebastian are you really only a butler are you sure you aren't o.h.m.s.s or something as well no i am merely a butler.
