Ciel begins attending England’s prestigious Weston College. This insular school values tradition, is bound by strict discipline, and is ruled by the prefects of its four boarding houses, collectively known as "P4".

Ciel decides to pay back Maurice Cole for his underhanded trick. Since Maurice lives in a different boarding house, he arranges a special exemption for an acquaintance to be admitted to Weston so that he can monitor Maurice.

Ciel wins the P4's trust, but he still can't find a chance to get close to the Head Master. And so he brings up the subject of Derrick Arden with the P4 and their drudges. When he does, the expressions on the prefects' faces change...

Ciel hears some promising information: the ever-busy Head Master will be attending Weston's traditional cricket tournament, and evidently the student who exhibits the most sportsmanlike behaviour will be invited to the Head Master's "midnight tea party."

Ciel is chosen to play cricket, but the boys of Sapphire Owl House are the perennial wooden spooners. They've had just one victory in the history of the tournament. Ciel resolves to wrest another victory for his House—without any miracles.

Ciel and the rest of Sapphire Owl House have won their way into the deciding match. As the cricketers exercise their talents to the fullest, Sebastian pursues the Head Master, who has appeared at last.

At the boat parade that caps off the cricket tournament, Ciel vows once again to learn the truth and present it to Queen Victoria.

His efforts in the cricket tournament having succeeded, Ciel now has an invitation to a tea party sponsored by Weston College's absolute monarch: the Head Master.

The truth behind the disappearances of Derrick Arden and the others comes to light. What's more, Ciel discovers that a former Phantomhive ally has been involved all along.

His duty as the Queen's guard dog complete, Ciel and his servants take a trip to London to inspect new Funtom Company goods. Later, Sebastian is reunited with someone unexpected.
