| Marie | “Ohh, I’m so excited. I simply cannot wait to meet… “myself”. Fufufu.” |
| Elliot | “Your Majesty! What ever is the meaning of this!?” |
| Marie | “Bonsoir, Elliot— Or should I say, Marie Antoinette?” |
| Elliot | “You call for me so suddenly, and before I could even ask, the next thing I knew I was dressed up in a gown…” |
| Marie | “Oh, but it’s surprisingly not too good of a fit for you. You’re just a little too big for it. Though, I suppose as long as most things aren’t obvious, it’ll have to pass.” |
| Elliot | “Your Majesty! Please hurry and explain! I feel like I’m going crazy here! What’s the meaning of this?! ” |
| Marie | “Please calm yourself. I want to go the ball, Elliot.” |
| “That is why you must be my body double for three nights.” |
| Elliot | “Your body double…!? Can’t you attend it by yourself normally!?” |
| Marie | “Alas, it overlaps with the evening party at the palace.” |
| Elliot | “This is too much! There’s no way I would go—” |
| Marie | “This is an order from your Queen, Elliot. Will you follow it?” |
| Elliot | “...!!” |
| Marie | “You’ll be fine. The evening party only requires you to eat cake like a lady, compliment each other’s dresses, and put on your best fake smile.” |
| Elliot | “But won’t I get exposed when they see my face?” |
| Marie | “The guests this time will all be new faces, so as long as you hold up your fan while smiling, you won’t be found out.” |
| Elliot | “There’s no way…” |
| Marie | “Oh, and I have one more request to add.” |
| “When everyone presents you with their gifts, you must ask as you receive them:‘Why this?’” |
| Elliot | “An absurd order and a confusing request…” |
| “...I’ve always heard she was an eccentric and selfish queen. I suppose those rumors are true.” |
| “Ahh, this is the start of a really bad dream… Farewell, my quiet and peaceful happy life…” |
| |
| Julia | “Are you faring well, my Queen?” |
| Lennah | “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty.” |
| Elliot | “Y-Yes… The pleasure is mine.” |
| Elliot | “...I thought that I’d be found out for sure if they saw my face, but Her Majesty was right… They haven't noticed at all.” |
| Madame Lucy | “How gorgeous. Your dress tonight is just so lovely.” |
| Elliot | “Thank you.” |
| Mariam | “We have brought along gifts for you, Your Majesty. Would you care to accept them?” |
| Elliot | “But of course.” |
| “...If I remember correctly, Her Majesty said that I should ask this when I’m about to receive their presents.” |
| “Thank you, but may I ask, why this?” |
| Mariam | “I had heard that Your Majesty would like this.” |
| Elliot | “Is that right?” |
| Julia | “Here, a gift from myself as well.” |
| Lennah | “I was hoping to present these to Your Majesty.” |
| Madame Lucy | “Your Majesty, here is my gift.” |
| Elliot | “Thank you. May I ask, why this?” |
| Noblewomen | “Because we heard that Your Majesty would like this.” |
| Elliot | “So I see.” |
| “Her Majesty seems to like a lot of things, huh…” |
| Madame Lucy | “Oh, if it isn’t Count Fersen.” |
| Mariam | “How dashing…” |
| Count Fersen | “It is an honor to meet your acquaintance, Your Majesty.” |
| Elliot | “Good evening. What a lovely evening, is it not?” |
| “Count Fersen… The rumors said he’s a playboy with the stature of a solder, but he’s actually not as tall as I thought he’d be.” |
| “All I see here is a bright and kind young man.” |
| Count Fersen | “I have brought this bouquet of lilies for you.” |
| Elliot | “My, they’re lovely. Thank you very much… But may I ask, why this?” |
| Count Fersen | “To be honest, I would’ve brought flowers that Your Majesty likes instead, but since I have never asked in person myself, I wasn’t sure what that would be.” |
| “So I have brought flowers that I liked instead.” |
| Elliot | “Is that so?” |
| Count Fersen | “What flowers does Your Majesty like, then?” |
| Elliot | “What flowers do I like, you ask? Erm, my favorite flowers would be…” |
| “How the hell would I know what’s Her Majesty’s favorite flowers…!? I’ll just have to come up with something that she would like……” |
| “...Roses. Roses are my favorite flower.” |
| Count Fersen | “Is that right? Then I shall bring some tomorrow.” |
| Elliot | “Of course. I will look forward to it.” |
| |
| Marie | “How did it go with the evening party?” |
 |
| Elliot | “What does it matter if it went well or not? (Sigh)...” |
| Marie | “My my, look at all these presents. Did you make sure to ask them?” |
| Elliot | “Yes. When I asked them why they thought of those gifts, every one of them said that they’d heard that it was something Your Majesty likes.” |
| Marie | “...That’s not right. Throw them away.” |
| Elliot | “Eh!? You mean to say none of these are what Your Majesty would like?” |
| Marie | “Indeed. But this bouquet of lilies isn’t so bad. I have nothing against flowers, so let us keep them.” |
| Elliot | “As you wish… Moreover, it seems no one found out at all.” |
| Marie | “.....Do they really not know the real me, then.” |
| Elliot | “...?” |
| “...Somehow, the queen is different from what I’ve thought of her. It’s as if she’s just a lonely young lady.” |
| |
| Julia | “Your Majesty, we have brought more gifts today as well.” |
| Lennah | “We heard that my Queen would like these. Please do accept them.” |
| Elliot | “I’m sorry, but I’m not receiving them today.” |
| “...After all, Her Majesty didn’t seem to like those from yesterday either.” |
| Count Fersen | “Your Majesty, I have brought you a bouquet of your favorite roses for this evening.” |
| Elliot | “Count Fersen…” |
| Count Fersen | “However… Your Majesty, is there something the matter? Were you reminded of something unpleasant?” |
| “Perhaps there is something that you are hiding?” |
| Elliot | “!!!” |
| “O-Oh dear me, there is something I need to attend to, so I must go. If you’ll excuse me!!” |
| Count Fersen | “Ah, Your Majesty…!!” |
| Elliot | “If he finds out I’m a fake, who knows what will happen!” |
| “Ahh, I cannot wait until all of this nonsense ends so I can get back to living my peaceful days again and work without having to sneak about my own work.” |
| |
| Elliot | “Whew… I can finally relax in my own clothes again.” |
| “I’ve already greeted everyone so there should be no need for me to change again for tonight.” |
| “Hm…?” |
| Madame Lucy | “Have you heard? They say the queen laughs and picks on her servants every day.” |
| Mariam | “I heard about it when I was in Paris last week. It was quite the talk around the cafes…” |
| Lennah | “What a foul hobby indeed. Where is her sense of nobility?” |
| Mariam | “She always makes a fool of the people around her. What a cheeky Austrian woman”. |
| Julia | “She tries so hard to act like royalty, but perhaps she is trying a bit too hard?” |
| Madame Lucy | “Fufu, that must definitely be the case.” |
| Elliot | “These ladies were so friendly in front of the queen just a moment ago, yet here they are gossiping and insulting her behind her back…” |
| “So this is their true faces? Talk about disgusting.” |
| “...So when they said that they brought things that Her Majesty would like, were they all just based from ill-talk and gossips?” |
| “That’s why Her Majesty told me to ask them ‘Why this’....” |
| “....Though, I also thought of the queen as everything the rumors said she was, so even I know nothing about her either.” |
| “But even from the brief period that I talked to her, I can tell that the queen isn’t the kind of woman that the rumors say she is.” |
| “Yet when I hear these women badmouth her, it makes me remember some unpleasant feelings… After all, I was no different from them just a few days ago.” |
| Count Fersen | “Greetings, dear servant. Has Her Majesty come back yet? |
| Elliot | “...Why does the Count want to meet Her Majesty?” |
| |
| Count Fersen | “I want to learn more about her.” |
| “I would like to ask her about her favorite flowers if we could meet. I want the answer, not from her servant, but the Queen herself.” |
| Elliot | “——!!” |
| “Unbelievable. He figured it out already.” |
| “...Her Majesty won’t be coming back tonight. |
| Count Fersen | “Is that so. Until tomorrow, then.” |
| Elliot | “....Please wait a moment.” |
| |
| Marie | "(sigh)"... |
| Elliot | “Is something the matter, Your Majesty? Did something happen when you went to the ball?” |
| Marie | “...I thought that if I went to the ball under a false name, I would be able to become good friends with someone.” |
| “But then I saw her get all excited from the gossip about Queen Marie Antoinette...” |
| “I don’t really care what it is that people say or think about me.” |
| “As long as the people who do understand me are by my side, that’s enough for me.” |
| “But I suppose there’s no one like that to be found anywhere…” |
| Elliot | “...Your Majesty, take a look at this. Count Fersen came to present this bouquet of roses.” |
| Marie | “...Beautiful. These are my favorite flowers.” |
| “Thank you, Elliot. Also, I did make you promise to be my substitute for one more night, but—” |
| “It’s alright now. You don’t have to be Marie Antoinette any longer. I won’t be going to the ball anymore.” |
| Elliot | “No, I think you should go. With this rose ring.” |
| Marie | “But why the gesture…?” |
| Elliot | “So that you will one day meet a good friend who will understand you. It will be for certain.” |
| Marie | “...I understand.” |
| Elliot | “...That’s good then.” |
| Marie | “Fufu, I was right to have chosen you.” |
| “You know, people have been talking about you behind your back— saying that you’re a dunce who can’t get his job done.” |
| Elliot | “EH!? I, I had no idea about that…!!” |
| Marie | “But while you do keep a low profile, I, for one, know that you always get the job done.” |
| “Most of all… Fufu, when I look closer, you do have a pretty face on you. That’s why I chose you.” |
| Elliot | “....!!” |
| “I see…. Even though I never realized it myself, it turns out I’ve also wanted to have someone who would properly see and understand me.” |
| “Her Majesty has been looking at me all this time.” |
| |
| |
| Izumi | Good work, everyone!! Today’s stage finished without a hitch. |
| Misumi | Uu… I want to take this dress off so badly…. |
| Masumi | Me too. |
| Sakuya | It is a little too tight… |
| Azuma | I’m getting quite hungry myself, so why don’t we go eat something after we change clothes? |
| Hirato | Everyone, thank you so much!! It was truly a marvelous stage! |
| Banri | Thanks. |
| Hirato | We have some meals and refreshments provided to give everyone a breather, so please go ahead and have them if you will! |
| Kazunari | FR!? Yippee!! |
| Misumi | I wonder if there’ll be any pretty hotel triangles around? |
| Sakuya | Shall we go and change then? |
| Izumi | …Huh? Tsumugi-san’s not here. |
| Azuma | Oh, you’re right. |
| Banri | I’ll go find him. |
| Izumi | You still have to change though, Banri-kun. I’ll go look for him. |
| Banri | It’s all good. Besides, the servant’s outfit is easy to change out of. Anyway, I’ll go ahead. |
| |
| Banri | Oh, there he is. |
| Tsumugi | Banri-kun. Sorry, did they have you look for me? |
| Banri | You could say that. Actually, what’s with the cups and lunchboxes you’ve got there? Where’d you buy these? |
| Tsumugi | Actually, when the flower shop owner heard we were going to be on stage, he came to give these to me. |
| Why don’t we eat some while we’re here? |
| Banri | Guess that’s fine. I’ll let Director-chan know we’ll be a while. |
| Tsumugi | Thanks. Let’s have a seat then. |
| Here you go. Which of these do want, Banri-kun? |
| One of them is just coffee, and the other is the rose-flavored latte that he talked about the other day. |
| Banri | Hm—... |
| I do want to have coffee, but I’ll take the latte this time. |
| It seems sweet so I doubt it’s to my taste but… I’m reminded again that having assumptions narrows the possibilities. |
| Hirato-san mentioned that he had these preconceptions about my image before, but… |
| I think the one who held the biggest preconceptions here was probably me. |
| How I decided the role, how I thought women’s clothing wouldn’t look good on me, and even how I thought about this latte… |
| Tsumugi | You’re right about that. |
| You should drink it before it gets cold. |
| Banri | Sure. Well, cheers for a good day’s work. |
| Tsumugi | Cheers. |
| Banri | …… |
| Tsumugi | …How is it? |
| Banri | ….It’s good. |
| Tsumugi | Really? |
| Banri | It’s not as sweet as I expected, and the scent of the roses isn’t overpowering either. It’s perfect. |
| Tsumugi | Heeh… Ah, have some of these too. |
| Banri | Egg sandwiches? There’s no way that would go well with this latte… Nah, I guess it’s not impossible either. |
| ……….. Well. It’s not bad. |
| Tsumugi | But not good either? |
| Banri | Eating it with egg sandwiches doesn’t feel completely right, but I guess it could pair better than croquette sandwiches.[1]. |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha, I guess you’ll have to try that next time. |
| Oh right, I wonder how the guests felt about the play. |
| Banri | Should we look up the hashtag? Let’s see… |
| Tsumugi | Oh, lots of responses say it’s pretty interesting. |
| Some are saying that Banri-kun’s female role was great and refreshing, and that everyone looked really adorable. There are all sorts of reactions written here. |
| Banri | Looks like your Fersen is also a big hit. Maybe the switch really was the right call after all. |
| Tsumugi | Yeah, that’s a relief. |
| Banri | Speaking of, have you used the hashtag yet, Tsumugi-san? |
| Tsumugi | Ah, now that you mention it… |
| Banri | I still haven’t done it either. Though Kazunari has been contributing tons already. |
| Tsumugi | Should we upload a photo with it then? It’d be a good memory to leave behind too. |
 |
| Banri | …Eh, you’re taking the photo? |
| Tsumugi | The real Fersen would probably be pretty good at taking photos too! |
| Banri | There it is, that enigmatic thinking of yours. But sure, I guess…. Go ahead. |
| Tsumugi | Banri-kun’s image is supposed to be cool, isn’t it? |
| That’s why I have to do well to take a picture that wouldn’t make anyone say that you’re not handsome. |
| Banri | What’s that supposed to mean. |
| Tsumugi | Here, I got it. I think it’s a pretty good shot in my opinion. It’s not blurry. |
| Banri | That’s a low standard. Then how 'bout we have Kazunari be the judge of that. |
| From LIME, press here… That should send it to Kazunari. |
| *LIME notification sound* |
| Banri | Fast reply. That’s Kazunari for you. |
KAZUNARI MIYOSHI☆ Hang on!!! Settsuar looks way too mid here dontcha think?! |
| Tsumugi | So no good, huh… |
| Banri | Well 'course not. |
