EP 1: Antoinette and Company

I see light ahead... It's a campfire! We caught up to them, Master!

But that'sthat's

Here you go, d'Eon. Open wide. Say aaah♡

Th-th-thank you, Marie... Okay... Aaah.

Delicious, aren't they? They're so plump and chewy, and that sweet, sugary taste...

And they're so cute, like snowballs. I'd love to learn how to make them.

Here, you have some, too. Aren't sweet dumplings lovely, Sanson?

Y-Yes... I accept this gratefully, my Queen. But is this really okay?

It said "Take what you like," but for us to take all three tons of it...

My dear Sanson, you need to take what you can, when it's offered to you.

Your modesty is commendable, but it's not good to be too modest.

What happened to the bold Sanson who readied the guillotine?

No... My queen, I didn't actually like the guillotine. Quite the opposite...

You complain too much, executioner. Her Majesty said we're taking them.

So we shall help her do it. That's all there is to it. Fortunately, we have access to Marie's glass carriage.

Carrying a ton or two of snacks is easy. We should've taken more.

Heheh. d'Eon understands a maiden's heart.

They're so delicious! It's natural for a person to want as much as they can carry.

Okay, say aah♡

Aaah!

Wait, you're eating more?! That's too much!

As a man of medicine, I must advise against consuming any more calories. You'll get fat...

Really, you don't have to worry, Sanson. Everything I eat goes right to my breasts.

The more I eat, the bustier I get. So there's no way I'll get fat.

Wh-what...did you...say?! I-is that true, Marie?!

That's medically impossible! But if it is true, I...I!

...How crude. Sit down and stop panicking. But it's true, executioner.

Her Majesty has grown to have one of the finest bodies in France. It's truly amazing.

Tell me more! Give me more details! This is important for medical science!

It's not medical at all! It's something all girls have in common!

(...I don't know...I think it's only you, your Majesty, who doesn't have any fat go to her belly...)

! Chevalier!

I know! Get back, your Majesty!

You're all under arrest! Surrender peacefully, you dumpling thieves!

Oh, it's you!

...You're ...You're... Who are you again? Sanson, do you know them?

Of course not. If you think you do, you're probably imagining it.

They're probably bandits, lured here by the light of our campfire.

Indeed. For once we agree, executioner.

Take up your swords, brigands! You'll pay for ruining her Majesty's snack time!

Hm... I really do think we've met somewhere, though...

I can't remember it... This is so strange... I have this feeling that we'd get along great...

But, now that it's come to this, we shall fight! Forgive me for the rough welcome, familiar ones!

I'm sure you have your reasons, but we're enemies now. I'm not letting you have these dumplings!

That's Marie for you. What a selfish declaration of war!

Let's go, Senpai! First, let's jog their memories in battle!

Gah!

Tch... They bested me!

Auuuggghhh!

The battle is over. Now we can talk

Wait, Mash. There's one more back there. This presence... It's the same type of loser, just like my darling!

Hahaha...hahahaha... So you saw me. Impressive...

S-Senpai! A really shady-looking pervert came out of the shadows!

I'm no pervert. I am Amadeus Mask. The wandering fairy.

Oh my! Amadeus Mask! You were following us in secret again?

You again, pervert? Go back to Vienna!

Heh... I can really count on you, huh? You showed up in our hour of dire peril...

Hehehe... The one I think I'd get along with dislikes me, and the one I don't care for finds me reliable... What's going on here?

Well, it doesn't matter. Maria is in trouble. I can swallow my pride and work with you, even if I don't want to.

Unknown travelers, prepare yourselves.

It's obvious that Maria and her friends are in the wrong, but you know, I don't really care.

Let us begin the symphony! Whew, I'm getting excited!

Can you beat these three true perverts, now that they're orchestrated by me, the God of Music?!

Wait a moment. Did you just include me in your statement?!

So yeah. A one-star Servant like me has no chance of winning.

You truly are the worst! All you did was slow us down!

Did you see that, Senpai? ...When Amadeus' mask slipped off, it hit Sanson on the back of the head...

...And instantly knocked him out... Is that level of coordination only possible because they've known each other for years?

Don't worry about that, Mash. If Sanson was awake this discussion would take longer.

Marie, do you remember us now?

Yes, as we were fighting, somewhat. There's a lot to talk about, but first, here.

You can have these wonderful confections back. We had a small amount. I'm sorry.

(A small amount... A small amount? N-no, if her Majesty says so, then it's fine...)

No, as long we have them back, it's okay. We were going to give these equally to everyone...

Huh? Um...is this all? You were saying there were three tons worth a moment ago...

That was at the start. I did load up the carriage, but...

We ran into a group of three people passing by, and gave them most of the dumplings as a sign of friendship.

What?! You gave them almost three tons worth?

Of course. When you think about it, no matter how good they are, you can't eat three tons, can you?

Yes, that's right. I would've preferred you to think about that sooner, though.

That's a very good point, Marie... So where did the three strangers go?

They said they were going to pray near the waters of Marseille. If you hurry, you might catch them.

Senpai!

？！

Marie, I'd love to talk more, but we're in a hurry...

Yes, I know. Please be careful, Fujimaru.

May fortune smile upon your journey! Vive la France! And whassup!

My queen?! (Turns around in shock)
