The entire Phantomhive household is going to a resort which the servants are ecstatic about. However, Ciel Phantomhive comments to Sebastian Michaelis that he only brought them along so they would not destroy his manor while he was out.

The entrance to the "resort" includes skulls on the ground and metal dog collars hanging from bare trees.

In a brief flashback, Ciel explains bear baiting to Sebastian, who comments that such a sport is just like humans. Ciel goes on to say that it was banned, but the dogs that were used for the baiting were not. For this reason, the loophole of dog fighting was discovered. A village called Houndsworth still practices the sport. Queen Victoria has asked Ciel to put a stop to this, which is why they claim to be going there under the pretext that she is looking for a new place to build a resort.

In the present, Finnian stops to help a woman with her baby, but accidentally throws the carriage. However, it is shown that there is no baby inside, just an animal skull on top of a blanket, much to the servants' horror. The woman comments that he had been eaten by "that," and says the small, white-haired dogs are good dogs, while the black-haired dog is bad. Ciel adds that the population of the village has decreased by one-third in the last ten years, due to a high rate of murdered or missing people.

Inside the town, Sebastian comments on how peaceful things are, and upon Ciel's prompting, admits that he hates dogs. They arrive at the Barrymore castle, who was the ruler of the village. Sebastian gently knocked on the door three times, then waited for a response. After a minute or so, Ciel let out a frustrated huff.

"They sure are taking their time. This is ridiculous, the door should have been opened a few seconds after we knocked. Exactly who do they take me for? I am Lord Phantomhive, for crying out loud."

Ciel muttered to Sebastian while crossing his arms and scoffing, closing his left visible eye. He was quite the bossy young master. Sebastian said to be patient.
