The Butler, Encounters (その執事、邂逅, Sono Shitsuji, Kaikō) is Chapter 9 of the Kuroshitsuji manga.

Summary[]

In November 1888, several prostitutes were murdered so brutally, the murderer was named Jack the Ripper. Ciel and Sebastian are standing outside, where Ciel is in pauper's clothes to be in disguise. They are on guard, waiting for the arrival of Jack the Ripper.

Earlier when they were still in the Phantomhive townhouse, Sebastian told Ciel that he had considered an alternate suspect, much to Ciel's annoyance, someone who was not human and was not a demon.

In the present, they hear a scream from the prostitute's house, despite not seeing anyone enter. As a blood splash lands on Ciel's face when he opens the door, Sebastian stops Ciel from witnessing the murder. Grelle then steps outside; they are covered in blood and, thus, unmistakenly the murderer. Still, they come up with a feeble excuse for why they were there. Sebastian says it is impossible because they would have seen them enter, and questions how they got inside.

Grelle reveals their true form and takes of the butler disguise. Sebastian comments that he has never seen a Grim Reaper, who is supposed to be completely neutral, becoming a butler, and Grelle admits that she was working with Angelina.

Ciel said her name had been on the list of suspects, which apparently included Aleister Chamber and Lau, but that no human could have committed the act. However, due to the acts required to carry off the scheme, both Angelina and Grelle had to act together as Jack the Ripper. An additional connection between all the prostitutes was that they had all had an abortion at the Royal London Hospital. The prostitute Sebastian and Ciel had been guarding was the last name on the list.

Angelina comments that it is sad that he figured it out because they cannot play chess together anymore. She screams that she will not go easy on him anymore, and Grelle whips out her Death Scythe and attacks Ciel, which Sebastian is able to stop. Sebastian calls Grelle's violation of the Grim Reaper rules and butler principles disgusting. Ciel then takes off his eye patch, while Sebastian removes his gloves, and orders Sebastian to capture them.
