Okay, I read ch138 and it was completely different from what I had expected, but it was interesting nevertheless. I never thought OC and Sebastian had negotiated the (conditions of the) contract in such detail lol.

Anyway here are my personal highlights of this chapter. 

Warning: TEXT SPOILERS

---

Sebastian vs. OC – round 1 (real Ciel’s death)

• Sebastian tells OC that he has 3 wishes and the first thing OC asks Sebastian is whether it’s possible to bring back dead people.
• Sebastian’s like “Yeah sure, you want to live a happy, peaceful life with your brother? I’ll grant you that.”, but OC sees through Sebastian’s lie and says “You are lying. You said ‘what has been sacrificed can’t be returned anymore’. So all you can do is make me ‘believe’ that Ciel is alive, but in fact you can’t bring him back. Am I right?”.
• Sebastian is impressed by OC like “Oh, you are smarter than I thought. But well, if I can make you ‘believe’ that your brother is still alive, it doesn’t really matter whether your brother really is alive or dead, no?” to which OC reacts like “f*ck you”

Sebastian vs. OC – round 2 (conditions of the contract)

• Sebastian: “Oh by the way, wishes such as ‘granting more wishes’ or ‘canceling the the contract’ are invalid.”
• OC: “Dammit.”  
• this was the funniest part imo xD

Sebastian vs. OC – round 3 (poor OC)

• OC chooses his 3 wishes very carefully in order not to get deceived/betrayed by Sebastian. But only after OC said his third and last wish and the contract was officially formed, Sebastian reveals the most important condition of the contract, namely that he’ll get OC’s soul as a reward at the end of the contract. Hence, OC’s shocked face at the end of the chapter.

Most important part of this month’s chapter: Foreshadowing(?) related to OC’s health

• There’s a scene where OC wonders why he hasn’t had any asthma attacks lately. So it seems it’s not plot convenience that a sickly & asthmatic child like OC survived that 1 month in that horrible state, but there definitely seems to be a good reason for that. Maybe there was something like

  Munchausen syndrome by proxy going on between OC and RC, idk.

Anyway, I had secretly hoped this chapter would conclude the flashback, and therefore I’m a little bit sad we’re still stuck with it, but this month’s chapter was really good and I liked it!! 😀

EDIT:

Forgot to mention one thing. I think with this chapter we finally got the answer to the question “What was OC referring to when he asked Sebastian ‘You wouldn’t lie to me?” in ch128?”.

I assume OC wanted Sebastian to once again confirm the fact that it is impossible to bring back dead people. And Sebastian’s reply “No, Sir. Regrettably, I do not tell lies”

is basically him re-confirming that not even demons can bring dead people back to life.
