I found a hidden tunnel under the altar that was used for the White Doll's ceremony.
There, I found weapons fit for the mustached mobile suit,
but they turned out to be unusable.
I didn't let that WaDom escape on purpose.
I was... disappointed
Training to Be a Lady
You can let me take care of finding new weapons.
You're in charge, then.
So, can you repair it?
- I'm not sure. - What do you mean?
At least say you'll try your best...
But I need some of the spare parts to repair the other machines.
I can't waste parts.
The real problem is that thing.
So far, we've only found one of them.
You mean the cavern under the shrine didn't have any more of them?
The sands blew into the tunnel and closed it up again.
I'll go wake Loran up.
He needs to help us move these.
Wait!
How long were you planning on sleeping for, Loran?!
M-My Lady!
- Sochie was praising you. - Huh?
She said the Heim Family's chauffeur isn't half bad.
- Right? - l never said that!
You did too!
Hey, now that they declared a ceasefire,
should we really spoil that by fighting again?
This is a great chance for us to get some more mechanical dolls.
Do you think that's the reason behind this ceasefire?
It seems Lord Guin's factories have begun to manufacture components for mechanical dolls as well.
- No way! - It's true!
The whole Militia is talking about it.
We still need the White Doll, though,
so we can't afford to let them capture it.
But the delegates for the Earth and moon are negotiating to prevent war from breaking out.
Yeah, but nobody knows how the talks are going.
They may be using their power to force the negotiations to go their way.
I want to meet her.
Meet who?
The queen of the moon.
I wonder how I could do that?
That's ridiculous!
No it's not!
Then you're just a crazy idiot.
If you really want to meet her so badly,
you might as well just walk the White Doll right into the meeting area.
Stop trying to be right all the time.
How can I be wrong when you're the one making such crazy suggestions?
Oh well, I was wrong about one thing: my opinion of you.
I don't know what's gotten into your head.
I'm only taking what I feel is the best course of action! What's wrong with that?!
Whatever reasons you may have, you shouldn't make excuses.
You're only saying that because you weren't on the front line.
During our investigation today, we discovered that the Earthlings
are excavating their own mobile suits from the Mountain Cycles.
There's not just one Mountain Cycle with these historical artifacts, either!
You're suggesting I deploy my troops to investigate other mountains that could be Mountain Cycles?
If the Earth has an equal army, they won't heed to our negotiations.
This is for the sake of avoiding a pointless war.
We cannot go to war.
Ma'am.
We should hold a party!
A party?
This way, both sides will have a chance to understand each other, and any pointless battles will be avoided.
Keith, are you really going out to vend?
Good morning.
You didn't need to come here.
I'm sorry. If my father had not have left you here, you never would've...
Don't worry about it, Miss.
If nobody's coming to the shop, I might as well go out and sell these.
As long as we're in this city, we'll stay in business.
My father said that many of the citizens may have evacuated to the countryside.
We still don't know.
I'm heading out, Miss.
Anyone want to buy some bread?
Cheap and delicious bread! Anybody?
Mama!
I've got delicious bread!
Come, now. When you get to the car, you can eat as much as you want!
But...!
Far more people left Nocis City than l had imagined.
Get outta here, Moonrace!
Even in a place like this?
You're not goin' any further!
You bastards don't care about anyone else's life!
You tried to crush me to death!
- Damn it! - Let's have some fun with this guy!
They're shooting!
Hey, hey! You shoulda compensated me for this!
I just baked these this morning.
Hey!
I didn't do anything.
Those guys just ruined my bread.
Is that bread any good?
Is it any good?
See for yourself.
When you newcomers ask the people here for something, you should do it in a more polite tone.
This is delicious!
No wonder everybody wants to come to Earth.
It's hard to find a taste like this anywhere else.
Yeah.
If you brought this bread to our army, it would sell like crazy.
Everyone would buy it.
You really think so?!
It's delicious. I'll buy all the bread you have here.
- All of it?! - Yeah, it's great.
Thank you very much, sir!
If we don't restart the negotiations, there's no way we can resolve this matter.
I'll send my troops to Nocis City. They'll help you chase those aggressors away!
If we were to attack them now, we'd have very little chance of success.
A letter from Dianna Soriel.
From Dianna?
She takes us for fools.
She wants to hold a party.
A party?!
Is it really alright to send our forces to such an unknown location?
They'll be far away from the mountains where the mechanical dolls are being found, but closer to Nocis city.
We'll get two birds with one stone.
Was that what you dug out yesterday?
When we saw it, we knew the one thing that Loran used was a weapon...
But we're not so sure about that one.
No, This one is a weapon too.
I'll need to talk to Loran about it.
Loran went off to see Lord Guin about something.
- When will he be back? - No idea.
You don't even know your own servant's schedule?
My servant is now responsible for being the White Doll's pilot too.
I can't always keep track of him.
I've been expecting you, Laura Cehack.
I heard the people downstairs talking. They're throwing a party?
Lieutenant Harry of the Royal Guard said he wishes to meet the White Doll's pilot.
Lieutenant Harry?
It's a dance party to promote friendship.
He won't hurt you.
But I can't dance...
This is an order to you, as a Militia pilot.
I don't have the right clothes.
You won't need to worry about that.
That's why I asked Miss Kihel Heim to accompany you.
Miss Kihel, please take care of him.
Of course, sir. Loran, come with me.
Ma'am.
What an impressive wardrobe...
Yeah.
Actually, I usually use these for our foreign guests.
But now they'll be meant for you, Loran.
"Laura"?
For your mission.
In truth, Lord Guin wants Dianna Counter to be aware that we have a mechanical doll just like theirs.
And they just so happen to think its driver is a girl.
But why didn't you refuse his request?
Didn't you want to?
The odds are too stacked in the moon's favor for the Earth to have a chance.
I guess.
So I'll do it.
Then before the party starts,
I'll give you lessons on how to behave like a proper lady.
A l-lesson?
The cake should look like this.
Is it a snowman?
It's the Earth and moon.
- Earth and the moon... - I see it now.
I'd like it to be two meters high.
Two meters?! Can we take this order?
We should have the materials, Boss.
This is the down payment. We'll give you the rest when you deliver it.
T-Thank you.
Take care.
Sorry about the wait.
Should we really take an order for the enemy?
We really need the money right now.
Thank you, Keith.
It's nothing, Miss.
Anyway, about this two-meter cake...
I told you not to slouch!
Go ahead.
Does it look weird?
A bit...
You think so?
You're the one who put it on, Lady Kihel...!
I think the military'll like this design.
It's a good design, but... Uh--
It's too heavy.
You're kidding...
A corset will make your waist look thinner...
Keith!
One, two, three, four!
Now spin around!
Don't turn so sharply! Your partner needs to be able to turn with you!
Alright, now turn around again!
Be more gentle with your partner!
You call this a partner?!
A lady doesn't criticize her partner's dancing!
Okay! One, two, three,
two, two, three, three, two, three...!
Allow me to welcome you all here.
I can't get any good shots from over here.
It's the Militia's mechanical doll!
The White Doll is here?
So the White Doll's pilot has finally shown herself.
I can't let you go any further.
Guin Rhineford has come as this beautiful lady's escort.
But aren't there two ladies?
The Militia doesn't have any guards here?
l told you to stay back!
But Laura, the White Doll's pilot, is coming out!
Who knows what'll happen tonight.
That's Guin and Kihel, so that must be the White Doll's pilot standing between them.
Where have I seen her before?
Wait, is that Loran?!
It's the Dianna Counter Royal Guard.
Lord Guin, there's Lieutenant Harry.
Should we go greet him?
Loran, you're the pilot. Everyone's watching you.
Make sure you behave properly.
Why hello there, Sir Guin. Could that beauty be the mustached mobile suit's pilot?
Yes. You may call her Laura.
On Earth, even such a girl can pilot a mechanical doll.
Pleased to meet you.
Let's save the introductions for later.
Yes, sir.
Well then, it's time for the party.
Shall we go, Laura?
Yes, sir.
Everything else should be ready by now! Get a move on!
I didn't realize how hard this would actually be.
Please help yourself to the Earth's wine.
N-no thanks, I don't drink.
There seems to be little difference between the Earthlings and us.
This is the first time we've ever had a party like this.
It looks like the soldiers were right all along.
It looks like both sides are just standing apart from each other and conversing amongst themselves.
If nobody makes the first move, negotiating will be rather difficult.
- It's good to see that both sides are human. - Oh, yes.
I can't see Her Majesty Dianna!
Laura!
Laura, keep your mouth shut.
But I just...
Politely.
This is the first time I have done such a thing.
Well, this is quite an unusual party.
They shouldn't just be watching the other side from afar!
They're all the same.
The people of the Earth are conversing amongst themselves.
Now that you mention it, the moon people are too.
My Lady, why don't you go talk to them?
To the Moonrace?
Why should I make the first move?
If we don't do something, everyone's gonna just keep standing there, and their relations will never improve.
You're right.
But who should be the one to have the first dance?
I will.
You can leave it to me.
Very well. Go ahead.
Ma'am.
Put on a waltz, if you would.
Yes. Right away, sir.
With which one of you may I have this dance?
He's from Dianna Counter.
How tasteless.
My Lady, aren't they being a bit rude?
Indeed. Well, get out there.
No way! H-how could I--
We wouldn't want those lessons to be for nothing, now would we?
H-How do you do?
And you are?
I apologize for my ill manners, Mister Lieutenant.
Take my hand, Miss Laura.
I-I would... I would be honored, good Lieutenant.
If I may.
We should go too!
It's our duty, isn't it?
May I have this dance?
It would be my pleasure.
Now this is more like a party. The food's already almost gone.
And the final touch will be the cake we prepared for the queen of the moon.
Hey, baker! Is the cake ready yet?
It's all done, but we don't have the stand yet.
Well why not?
The Militia was supposed to have brought it here already.
You! Go hunt them down!
Okay.
Isn't that it?
Sorry we're late!
This is the cake stand you ordered.
Oh, thank you! I was worried!
Alright! Let's hurry!
Her Majesty Dianna...
- Miss Laura. - Yes?
Where did you find that mobile suit of yours?
I stumbled upon it on the mountainside.
So that means that the Militia has only recently been able to acquire mobile suits, does it not?
While I did stumble upon it accidentally, it wasn't long before we were able to find even more.
What are your thoughts on that?
Ah.
Additionally,
it seems there are many more mountains with mobile suits within them.
It would be unwise to assume your side possesses an absolute advantage.
Is that what you truly feel?
It is.
I'm terribly sorry to have to interrupt you two,
but I would like to introduce Miss Laura to Her Majesty Dianna. Is that alright?
Go ahead.
To see Her Majesty Dianna?
Miss Laura, if you don't mind, I would like to see you again later.
It would be my pleasure.
Your Majesty Dianna Soriel,
This is the pilot of the White Doll, widely admired by the Militia.
Her name is Laura Rola.
She's quite the beautiful lady.
Pleased to meet you, Laura Rola.
The pleasure is mine. Your presence warms my heart,
Your Excellency Dianna Soriel.
Your Majesty Dianna,
Yes?
Now that you are here on Earth, why is the war still continuing?
Young lady! This is not the time nor place for such things!
Laura! Watch your mouth!
Your Majesty Dianna, have you come to Earth only to make war?!
You at least could have introduced yourself first, Laura Rola.
O-Of course, Your Majesty.
War is the last thing any of us here wish for.
Then, if you can make it possible,
there is nothing I would like more than for the Earth and moon to peacefully coexist.
Of course.
While your and my opinions differ on some matters, I believe that we feel the same way.
I will do all I can to make that happen.
R-Right!
Mr. Guin, there is never reason for those we treasure most to feel unnerved.
Would you like to restart the negotiations?
Of course.
- It's the Earth and moon together! - I wonder who made it?
The cake of friendship.
Oh! How impressive!
Your Majesty Dianna, please step forward.
If you would as well, Sir Guin.
Her Majesty Dianna and Lord Guin...
Now, if you two would place the roses into the other's territory as a symbol of friendship.
Let us share this cake together as a symbol of coexistence between the Earth and moon!
Don't mi--
You bastards!
Don't move!
Dianna!
Dianna's still alive!
We've gotta get outta here quick!
You bastards!
Outside?!
- He's the one! - Right!
Guards! Catch those traitors!
Damn you!
- Laura! - Hold it!
- Are you hurt, Your Majesty? - Only mentally.
Your Majesty Dianna...
We must first prepare a room for Her Majesty Dianna.
But we--
Do you not realize what just happened?
There's obviously no way we can continue the negotiations here.
We... can't?
What the hell is going on, Miss Laura?!
- They're after Miss Dianna! - What?!
Miss Rola?!
Is she going after them in that mobile suit?
Over there!
Are you trying to catch them?!
Why would you people...?!
One of them got away!
I can't do movements that complex!
They got away?!
Why couldn't you hold onto them?!
Do you want them to get away?!
If I grabbed them any tighter I would have killed them, Lieutenant...!
Is that the best you can do as a pilot?!
What... is this?
What?
It's a portable breathing device.
A breathing device!?
Were they... Moonrace?!
The assassins used a portable breathing device...
They escaped, but...
It looked to me that they were Militia soldiers.
They were probably acting independently.
In that case, we'll root out the responsible party.
Furthermore, we hope you will better control the Militia to prevent similar situations from occuring in the future.
Do I make myself clear?
You mean you still wish to reopen the negotiations?!
Fortunately, Her Majesty Dianna was not injured.
Her feelings on reopening negotiations have not changed.
Excuse me.
What were you trying to accomplish?
What do you mean by that?
You were the one behind this, weren't you?
I'm not clever enough to pull that off.
This problem is on our end.
Has Her Majesty Dianna realized that?
I believe she has.
Guard her well.
I shall.
I never mentioned it to Laura,
but Miss Kihel truly is the spitting image of Her Majesty Dianna.
It's not easy for a single family from the moon to make friends here,
but Mr. Gwen can't afford to feed his baby.
As Dianna Counter doesn't seem to care about the civilians,
we began our search for milk.
Lady Sochie even came with us this time!
Next time, on Turn-A Gundam,
Laura's Cow
The wind cannot provide us with milk.
Laura's Cow
