As usual, we'll have to look back at what has happened so far. Calm contemplation is essential in order to turnabout the worst of any situations. ――The following is a flashback. |
Karlsruhe |
"Congratulations on your marriage, Fräukleine Fussen♪". |
Pleven |
"Congratulations to YOU." |
Leipzig |
"Congratulations, Your Highness! We in the Eisengrad Army congratulate you on your marriage!" |
Fussen |
"HOLD UP YOU IDIOTS!!!!" |
In the glittering wedding reception hall, Fussen was screaming as she's bounded with rough rope all over her body. Her face is red with rage. |
Fussen |
"I don't know what's going on!? Someone explain it to me! Why the utmost Hell should I get married!?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Eeeeeh~? Why would you ask me that? It's your wedding, Fräukleine Fussen, we're just guests here to congratulate you♪" |
Karlsruhe |
"Don't you think the bride-to-be knows best what's going on?" |
Fussen |
"I didn't ask you, you black-hearted bitch!" |
Leipzig |
"I'm sure this was explained to you every step of the way." |
Leipzig |
"This is a kind of sting operation. It's part of the SSS - or rather the Eisengrad Army's operation." |
Leipzig |
"As you may know, this land is ruled by a vicious person called the Dictator." |
Leipzig |
"The authoritative power of this Dictator is so powerful that even the Eisengradian military cannot touch him." |
Karlsruhe |
"Yeah. This whole area of land is effectively untouchable. We keep a lid on the dirty and pretend not to see the ugly -" |
Karlsruhe |
"Aah, so wonderful! The corruption in our army is unparalleled, ja♪" |
Karlsruhe |
"However, I can't help but understand the wishes of our motherland, which has always remained so unaware of the situation." |
Karlsruhe |
"In return for granting autonomy to this land, the military receives large donations from the Dictator. We don't want snakes to come out of the bushes if we poke around too much, ja?" |
Leipzig |
"However, times have changed." |
Leipzig |
"This land, which for a long time had to be ignored as a shameful part of the Eisengrad, has finally come under investigation." |
Pleven |
"ACK. This is information that is currently only in the possession of our public relations DEPARTMENT, and this area is involved the development of weapons that are forbidden by international LAW." |
Fussen |
"Weapons...?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Yeah. It is called the 'Phantom Mist Weapon'." |
Fussen |
"The naming sense needs more work." |
Pleven |
"ACK. According to reliable sources, the weapon has already been developed and a prototype is being MANUFACTURED." |
Karlsruhe |
"Yeah. There's not a moment to lose. It's too late to react after the Mist Weapon has actually been used and caused damage, ja?" |
Karlsruhe |
"So we will nip the seeds of disaster in the bud as soon as possible. That's what this operation is all about." |
Fussen |
"I understand what you PR people want, but I DON'T BLOODY UNDERSTAND WHY THE HELL AM I GETTING MARRIED!" |
Karlsruhe |
"Because I wanted to see Fräukleine being forcefully married against your will with tears flowing from your eyes...♪" |
Fussen |
"YOU BIIITCH!?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Just kidding, I'm only half joking――" |
Fussen |
"By half joking you're also half serious!? I'll never forgive you, bitch, do you really enjoy watching me panic!?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Jaaaa well, it's enough to keep me in a good mood for a year or so." |
Leipzig |
"Sincerest apologies, Your Highness. This land is completely ruled by the Dictator and is so isolated that the outside world can't even find out what's going on." |
Leipzig |
"But fortunately, we have connections with some of the most important people in the region." |
Karlsruhe |
"Yes. That is the only daughter of the Dictator who rules the land and loves her dearly - Klein Frankfurt, who is also a member of the SSS." |
Fussen |
"Aaah, so that girl's from this land, huh?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Yeah. And on top of that, she is the daughter of the most powerful man in this land. How could I not take advantage of a girl in such a delicious position, jaaa?" |
Karlsruhe |
"But as you know, she's quite a troublesome girl. She was probably brought up in a very pampered environment by the Dictator, as she doesn't listen to anything we say." |
Leipzig |
"Yeah. So we have to dangle a carrot in front of her to get her to act." |
Karlsruhe |
"And the carrot, or rather the bait, is Fräukleine Fussen, ja♪" |
Fussen |
"Wh-What do you mean? Meaning she'll do anything for me?" |
Fussen |
"That means, she likes me? I can't have that, I already have my favourite lollipop Murmansk...!" |
Karlsruhe |
"This Klein Murmansk is going to do her best to congratulate Fräukleine Fussen on your wedding, it seems." |
Murmansk |
"Look look! I made a [Headband] for Miss [Fussen]!" |
Petropav |
"Wow, that's amazing♪ Was this handmade, Munny?" |
Murmansk |
"Yes! It's just like [Babushka]'s!" |
Murmansk |
"Miss [Fussen] often gives me [Goodies]. This time it's my turn!" |
Petropav |
"I see. It's important to return the favour, I'm sure Futten will be happy♪" |
Urga |
"Wh-wh-what should I do? Urga, didn't prepare anything...!?" |
Petropav |
"Don't worry, don't worry. It's not just about the price of the gift, it's also about how much love you can show." |
Urga |
"I don't have any love though...?" |
Urga |
"Still, marriage is a happy occasion! and I, Urga, will congratulate you with all my might!" |
Murmansk |
"Yes! Let's say [Congratulations] together!" |
Murmansk |
"Hehehe. I'm a little bit [Sad], but I should be happy for Fussen's [Happiness]♪" |
Fussen |
"No go right ahead you can stop me do it my dear Murmansk!?" |
Volklingen |
"That's right, that's right! Why are you girls just standing there! I can't accept this, Schwester's my one and only schwester~!" |
Fussen |
"I don't remember being your sister, but keep up your protests, you insect! It's a pity that you're the only one on my side...!" |
Leipzig |
"I mean, do you feel that Murmansk and the girls have not yet been informed about what's going on behind the scenes?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Yes. They can't lie. I'm sure the Dictator don't feel very comfortable having his insides probed either ja――" |
Karlsruhe |
"If it becomes known that our aim is to establish evidence of the development of the Phantom Mist Weapon, we will be arrested if we are not careful, or in some cases, we will be dealt with without question." |
Karlsruhe |
"So at the moment, only we in the PR department know about the real objective
. We will ask for reinforcements when the opportunity arises." |
Karlsruhe |
"Don't say anything too suspicious, Fräukleine Fussen. For now, be quiet and play the role of the bride." |
Fussen |
"I despise this.... Why the extras in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better if it had been you who got married?" |
Karlsruhe |
"If I were to get married, there was a possibility that my girl here would go berserk, she would not be able to accept it." |
Pleven |
"ACK. Syntax errors will be DELETED." |
Fussen |
"Are you an extremist..." |
Karlsruhe |
"Also. The plot of forcing an unwilling Fräukleine to marry is way too interesting to pass――" |
Karlsruhe |
"I mean, because I thought it was the most natural thing to do. Fräukleine, I don't know what are her reasons, but Frankfurt really seem to like you apparently." |
Karlsruhe |
"That's why she chose you and you're going to be her 'mother'! That kind of scenario would be easier to convince the people around you, wouldn't it?" |
Fussen |
"Hold up. 'Mother'? You mean I'm...?" |
Karlsruhe |
"Yes. From now on, Fräukleine will marry the worst, most despicable tyrant who rules this land - the Dictator." |
