The Butler, Retaliatory (その執事、反攻, Sono Shitsuji, Hankō) is Chapter 12 of the Kuroshitsuji manga.

Summary[]

Grelle injures Sebastian with a major laceration across the chest and proceeds to view a rather mundane Cinematic Record of Sebastian's life. Grelle complains, but Sebastian says his life has been like that for the past year, and that, if Grelle wanted to see something more interesting, she would have to pay for it.

Sebastian then notices his clothes are ruined beyond repair and removes his coat, which he uses to jam Grelle's Death Scythe so it cannot function. Sebastian states that the coat was given to him by Ciel, so he was disappointed that he had to use it in a fight. He then leaps down to where Grelle is kneeling on the ground and asks if the Death Scythe can still be used.

When he determines that Grelle is defenseless, Sebastian punches her in the face, breaking Grelle's glasses, splitting her lip, and giving her a nosebleed. He then grabs Grelle's Death Scythe and prepares to use it against her, as a Death Scythe can cut through anything, including the Grim Reaper that wields it. Grelle begs for Sebastian to stop, but Sebastian says he does not want to.

When he goes in to deliver the final blow, his attack is stopped by another Grim Reaper, William T. Spears. Grelle is relieved by William's appearance, but he lands down and smashes Grelle's head into the ground. William apologizes for Grelle's actions, even though he is clearly bothered about having to apologize to a demon.

As Grelle and William leave, Sebastian throws Grelle's Death Scythe at William's head, but he catches it easily. Sebastian smiles and says that he did not want them to leave that behind. William thanks him and takes his leave while dragging Grelle by her hair.

Sebastian then apologizes to Ciel for letting Grelle escape, but Ciel says it does not matter anymore. Sebastian says they should go, and Ciel agrees. When he goes to stand, he sways, and Sebastian moves to help him. Ciel knocks his hand away, telling him that he does not need Sebastian's support and that he is "just a little tired."
