Can You Even Act Cute?

Epindel

There. Through that building... hm?

???

The first plan may have failed!

???

But there's always a second one!

???

So believe in me, the cute and smart Petra! ♪

I recognize that voice...

Epindel

It's coming from that alley.

Bride A

So what's the plan?

Petra

It's simple! ♪ I littered the place with PISS, Petra's Infiltration and Stealth Smokebombs!

Petra

First, we hide behind a corner!

Bride B

A corner?

Petra

Second, we detonate the bombs when the Captain comes!

Bride A

When he comes!

Petra

And then!

Bride B

And then?!

Petra

We nab him and make a run for it! ♪

Bride A

Whoa...!

Bride B

And then?

Petra

Hm? What?

Bride B

And then what? We can't split him three-way. Only one of us can have him!

Petra

Darn it, these guys are smarter than they look...

Petra

A-about that... we can think about it later! ♪

Petra

For now, we lie in wait for the Captain!

You were right, they really are preparing an ambush.

Epindel

Did you have doubts? You wound me, Captain.

Petra

Left, right, forward, below!

Petra

Watch every direction!

Bride A

Hey, l-look!

Bride A

It's the Captain!

Petra

What? Nyaha?! Right in front of us?!

Hi, Petra.

Petra

Captaaain! Long time no see!

Petra

If you were looking for a bride, you should've looked for Petra!

Petra

Recruiting brides while leaving Petra out completely? Petra is sooo hurt!

Petra

So is that girl your type?

Bride A

What are you doing! That's the target!

Bride B

Where's that smoke trap?!

Petra

N-nyahaha... so about that.

Petra

Petra hasn't set up any over there.

Petra

...

Petra

P-Plan B! Taunt them!

Bride A

You're gonna keep running? C'mon, bring it on!

Bride B

Boo, coward! You're weak!

Bride B

Have you lost your nerve? Figures.

...You're fine with this, right, Epindel?

Epindel

Oh my, those words actually hurt more, Captain.

Epindel

Throwing cheap invectives is but whistling in the wind.

Epindel

The sons and daughters of House Orlan could teach the mountains a thing or two about immovability.

Bride A

I don't think it's working...

Petra

Boo... Boooo...

Petra

Captain! Captaaain!

Epindel

So I advise you to maintain composure as—

Petra

D-don't fall for a sulky kid like that!

Petra

Pick Petra instead! I'm nice and cute! And dedicated too!

Epindel

...!

Epindel

Did you call me... sulky?

Petra

Duh!

Petra

Petra is cuter! Petra smiles more!

Petra

Petra is the only one who can make the Captain happy!

Epindel

...

Epindel

D-don't mind me, Captain. I am perfectly—

Petra

Petra is committed!

Petra

Petra doesn't play silly mind games!

Epindel

...Calm.

Bride A

...I can hear her grind her teeth all the way from here! She's triggered!

Bride B

Keep going! I think you're onto something!

Petra

She's a sheltered noble girl! She probably doesn't even know how to cook!

Petra

She'll take away your independence! You will live off a rich family's pocket money, caged in a mansion run by maids and housekeepers!

Petra

Your only purpose will be to sculpt your body for her eyes, fed on aphrodisiacs like prized cattle!

Petra

Is that the kind of life you want, Captain?

Is this true?!

Epindel stopped in her tracks.

E-Epindel?

Epindel

...I see.

Epindel

Your calumnies against House Orlan and its traditions have reached an intolerable level.

Epindel

The only appropriate response to your libels...

Epindel

Is the sword.

Hey! You're the one who told me to stay cool!

Epindel

Excuse me? Oh please, you jest.

Epindel

I merely wish to make an example of them to show what happens to those who tarnish the reputation of my family.

Epindel

What more tactical and calculated decision than this could there be?

She totally got under your skin...!

Epindel

I pray you've been well. All three of you.

Epindel

You seemed quite knowledgeable of House Orlan's traditions.

Epindel

Then you must know that an Orlan shows little tolerance for anyone who dares question their honor.

Epindel

Draw your blade. Let us see if it matches the sharpness of your tongue.

Epindel

En garde!

Petra

Go guys, go!

Petra

Buy me some time while I ready the bombs!
