Hello, how are you? <3

So, i really can't get how Sebastian is cultivating Ciel's soul. Like i can't see how he's doing this 'cultivating' process and bring misfortune upon Ciel, isn't that what Ciel himself doing? By being the Queen's watch dog

Silly me, I've been on book buying sprees and not answering most asks in a timely manner. Otherwise, I guess I'm ok. 😆

The kid chooses to be earl and watchdog, yes. However, the demon sometimes lets situations get out of hand before he sets things back in (some semblance of) order. He lets the kid suffer more than necessary. It adds flavor.

FYI, I don't know when it happened, but this post (about what makes souls tasty to demons) has been released from the community label review and can now be viewed by anyone.

Ch177 (5), Delicacy for the demon

I am reminded of that infamous bath scene, when Sebastian gives our earl quite the talking to about the frailty of humans. Even a scratch could lead to death if not cleaned properly. But we have to remember that Sebastian is chiefly concerned with keeping his young master healthy until their contract is over. Then the demon gets to eat this rare “delicacy” of a delicate human being.

Bard/Baldo’s memories of a little boy come back to haunt him, and I do expect this to be a son whom he lost. Either he had a wife who took the boy when she left him, or perhaps they actually died. Probably simply left him, much like he said to the others at the sanatorium.

Of course, Sebastian can’t read Bard/Baldo’s mind, but he can sense the guy’s thinking about something bittersweet from his own past. I guess we can hope for him to tell Sebastian (or maybe even Finny) about this little boy ….

Oh, but that last line should be more like “roast chicken revenge”, according to @plague-of-insomnia. That’s hilarious, though I also agree that it makes sense enough for Sebastian to tell someone to “redeem” themselves.
