Black Butler episode 3: Sebastian becomes a butler for a witch

Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc continues in Episode 3, titled “His Butler, On Loan.” In this episode, Ciel and Sebastian suffer from a strange illness after entering the Werewolves’ Forest. Ciel becomes weak, blind, and acts like a child again. Sebastian also shows signs of sickness, which is very unusual because he is a demon.
Ciel and Sebastian are taken to a mysterious young witch named Sieglinde Sullivan. She tries to help Ciel with magic and special medicine, including giving him a warm herbal bath. But Ciel is still scared and confused. He does not want Sebastian near him and instead clings to his servant, Finny. These scenes show how deeply Ciel has been affected by the curse.
To help Ciel and learn more about the forest, Sebastian offers to work for the witch Sullivan as her personal butler. He cooks meals, teaches her table manners, and helps with her research. These scenes bring some light and funny moments to balance the darker parts of the story.
But even while working for the witch, Sebastian stays focused on his true goal: protecting Ciel and finding out who cursed them. Meanwhile, Ciel continues to struggle with memories of his painful past.
The animation in this episode is dark and beautiful, just like the rest of Black Butler. The voice acting by Daisuke Ono (Sebastian) and Maaya Sakamoto (Ciel) shows deep emotion, especially during Ciel’s scared moments.
