| The Beauty and the Beast show, which took place on the roof of a department store, was so lively that the audience cheered for them, as they were able to see the powerful battle with the Beast up close and personal. | ||
 |
||
| At last, the Versailles stabbed the bosom of the demonic beast with perfect timing and readied her rapier to deliver the coup de grace. | ||
| Versailles |
"Now, go to sleep!" | |
|---|---|---|
| Demonic Beast Elegance |
"Grrrr..." | |
| The demonic beast was cut down with her swordsmanship so fast that no one could see it. The crowd went silent for a moment, not knowing what had just happened - But after a few moments, a loud applause erupted. | ||
| Vivienne |
"You did it, Versailles!" | |
| Pancras |
"Your last strike was so elegant. It was the very embodiment of the catchphrase from Beauty and the Beast." | |
| Versailles |
"I-I'm embarrassed by such praise." | |
| 'Cool and beautiful enough to tame a beast-' | ||
| That's what the poster said as I recalled. Versailles was certainly cooler and more beautiful than anyone else. | ||
 Versailles |
"Well, now the show is over. I can finally get my dress." | |
| And just as Versailles stepped off the stage, a building announcement echoed across the rooftop. | ||
| -The store will be closing soon. | ||
| Versailles |
"No way...!?" | |
 Vivienne |
"Aah- it's closing time. No choice, I guess we'll have to come back tomorrow." | |
 Pancras |
"What's the matter, Miss Versailles?" | |
| Versailles |
"I have another mission tomorrow, so I have leave M. St. Iris..." | |
| Vivienne |
"Then there's nowhere and no time to go to get yours tailored!?" | |
| Versailles |
"...I have no choice. It's my fault that I didn't defeat the demonic beast sooner. My fashion and sword skills were just still inexperienced." | |
| Pancras |
"Misss Versailles..." | |
| Vivienne |
"I cannot accept this kind of curtain-raiser." | |
| Versailles |
"But, there is nothing I can do anymore. I, I have to give up on the dress. Thank you both, thank you for today." | |
| Versailles smiled, fighting back her tears. At that moment, Islington appeared with a bundle of papers of some sort. | ||
 Islington |
"Ah, there you are. Giiirls, I've got something good for you." | |
| Islington, unaware of the situation, is in a good mood and handed Versailles a bundle of papers. | ||
| Versailles |
"Are these... lottery tickets?" | |
| Islington |
"Tsk tsk tsk. I don't want you to confuse them together with all those streetside lotteries. These are 'elegant lottery tickets'." | |
| Vivienne |
"What's the difference between them and the regular ones?" | |
| Islington |
"Naturally, they have a lot more elegant prizes than normal, of course? See, the raffle is over there, why don't you take a look?" | |
| Islington pointed to the lottery venue behind everyone else. | ||
| Pancras |
"Oh my, there's panties to accessories and even ladies' wear, there's so many elegant prizes." | |
| Vivienne |
"Look, first price is a dress!" | |
| Versailles |
"T-that's true. And it's the pink dress I've been eyeing!" | |
| Islington |
"Heeh-, good for you. I hope you win." | |
| Versailles |
"Can I really have these elegant lottery tickets?" | |
| Islington |
"Mhm. I've had a very satisfying shopping experience. This is a parting gift for my rivals, who were unafraid to challenge me." | |
| Vivienne |
"Good for you, Versailles! With that many of them, you'll definitely win!" | |
| Pancras |
"I'm sure the only reason we haven't succeeded with you this far is because of this moment." | |
| Versailles |
"Thank you so much, Lady Islington." | |
| Islington |
"Come on, it's almost closing time, why don't we get on with it?" | |
| Versailles |
"Yes...!" | |
| With tears of gratitude for the last-minute opportunity, Versailles ran to the raffle draw. | ||
| ---- | ||
| There was only one more ticket left for the massive and elegant lucky draw. At that point, all the prizes won have been second prize or less. Even with over a hundred tickets, she still hadn't won the grand prize. | ||
| Vivienne |
"There is no way, Versailles, you've worked so hard to get here too...!" | |
| Pancras |
"I'm dreading to see the final result." | |
| Islington |
"What are you two about to give up on? Miracles happen at the end, don't they?" | |
| Vivienne |
"Maybe so, but I can't believe she's rolled so many times and didn't get any..." | |
| Islington |
"Look at Versailles. She has not once worried about 'what if it doesn't come out'." | |
| Vivienne |
"You're right. She doesn't look worried." | |
| Pancras |
"She's very calm." | |
| Versailles |
"Here's the last one. Let's pray for this." | |
| Versailles begins her final lucky draw, her face a terribly calm expression. | ||
| She seem more grateful for the situation she's arrived at, rather than being eager she'll win. | ||
| What will be the final result of this elegant lucky draw? | ||
| Versailles |
"Huh? What's this strangely coloured ball?" | |
| --Congratulations, you've won the special prize!! | ||
| Versailles |
"Special prize...?" | |
| Vivienne |
"You did it, Versailles! You finally got it!" | |
| Pancras |
"Versailles, finally..." | |
| Pancras |
"Huh? Wasn't the dress supposed to be the first prize?" | |
| At these words, everybody looked at the shelves displaying the prizes. | ||
| The first prize was the dress she wanted, and the special prize was-- | ||
| Versailles |
"A replica of the Order of M. St. Iris uniform?" | |
| Vivienne |
"That's like getting the clothes Versailles usually wears." | |
| Pancras |
"I understand that in a way it's more valuable than that dress, but, of all things, the person who won this is..." | |
| Versailles |
"Hmhmm." | |
| Versailles smiled to herself as they both look puzzled. | ||
| Versailles |
"Yes, this must be extra special." | |
| Versailles |
"Because this uniform is the coolest and most elegant outfit, full of knightly pride." | |
| Versailles |
"So this is fine. I didn't get the dress, but this uniform is what is fashionable for me." | |
| Versailles smiled happily as she hugged her replica uniform. | ||
| Vivienne |
"I see. You've found your own way of being fashionable." | |
| Pancras |
"You are a true knight. You are very elegant." | |
| The department store's closing announcement came on. We followed the crowd and began to walk home. | ||
| Versailles, who was leading the way, stopped and looks back at all of us. | ||
| Versailles |
"Thank you, everybody. I've had a great day and a lot of fun." | |
| Versailles |
"If you want, please accompany me in the department store again." | |
