Did the Jinx do all this?
Yeah...
It happened in just a blink of an eye.
With one bang, the Thanatos was destroyed.
And our homes too...
Will this keep continuing after this?
Well, as long as the Thanatos is defeated...
I won't say any complaints.
The Jinx, huh?
A Day off in Wodon
Oh? Taking a break from your research?
Sorta.
It's quiet around here without her.
She left looking really happy.
Would you like some?
I baked this with my whole heart for Ange's friends.
Yeah, those look delicious.
Please spend your time in enjoyment, Mademoiselle.
Welcome, Ange.
I missed you, Ange!
Thanks for your invitation.
Here.
My, it smells good.
Now, we'll accompany you till the end of the day!
There are a lot of things I want to tell you!
Okay!
Wow, it's delicious!
Hey, Ange! You get such delicious snacks made for you everyday?
Yeah. Everyone's good at cooking.
No fair.
I'm already jealous from you being surrounded with all those gorgeous Aube Hunters.
And you even get to eat their delicious homemade dishes!
I envy you too much!
But it might also trouble you that you're surrounded by them.
Indeed! Although their personalities differ, they're all gorgeous guys anyway.
Even a serious person like you would have a hard time choosing!
So...
I wonder who your favorite is?
All's right with the world.
Indeed.
Jeez, you two!
Sorry, sorry!
We were wondering if you managed to find enough time to fall in love?
There's no way really...
But I guess your responsibilities have lessened.
The Foundation has developed Jinx, after all.
Jinx...
Listen you two...
The Jinx is...
So such a thing happened...
The Jinx could be a danger to everyone!
But there were no casualties in the end.
Perhaps we should look past such minor things.
Hannah...!
You're just thinking too much about it!
The Foundation people probably just weren't aware?
No! I saw it with my own eyes!
Okay, okay! Don't give me such an angry look!
Ah, oh yeah!
I found some pretty accessories, so after this...
Listen seriously, will you!?
You two are saying that because you don't know the truth!
Don't know the truth?
Who's being ignorant here!?
Sally...
You have a special power, so you're always being protected by the Aube Hunters!
But what do we do when we get attacked by Thanatos!?
Are you saying we have no choice but to rely on the Jinx!?
Sally!
Ange, understand...
If a Thanatos appears in front of us, we'll be at our wits end.
Because we're different from you, Ange.
I see...
Ange!
Why don't they understand!?
I'm telling them the truth!
Hey... Is there anyone here who can fill up my pocket?
There she is.
Hey, my little treasure!
Yo! Is it fate to meet you here?
Are we bound by a red string, huh?
Um... I'm not in the mood for interviews and things like that...
Huh? Your eyes are red...
Did you have a fight with your boyfriend or something?
Then, shall I comfort you?
I'm sorry, but please leave me alone.
I can't do that.
There's no way I can leave a girl in a slump alone, right?
Uh... um...
It's all right, I said! I chose it!
It should obviously be the cutest ever!
But...
Not bad.
You can look good in anything with good materials.
Not at all...
Now, and next...
When it comes to having a secret date with a celebrity...
Is it your first time in downtown Wodon?
Yes.
Before I came to the Hidamari Mansion, I rarely went outside the academy.
Stop!
That high-class talk of yours isn't suited to this place.
But-!
Are you okay with that?
It'll be such a fuss if they find out you're the Queen's Egg.
And with that, I'm counting on you to talk casually.
Ah, it's Roche!
Roche!
Take a picture, Roche!
No way.
I told you guys I have a rule of not taking pictures if they don't make money.
Then, you're cheap!
Cheap!
Oh, is that your new girlfriend?
Her disposition is quite different this time!
Don't say things that can give her the wrong idea!
I'm in the middle of trying to win her heart, after all!
Missy, I won't say bad things!
If you're just dating someone, just do it with me!
I'll tell your wife exactly what you just said.
Anything but that!
Do you know everyone in the stalls?
Pretty much.
It's just like a garden for me in these parts.
I won't hand Roche over!
Even that little girl...
No! It's not like that!
How'd you find it?
Was it a stimulating experience for the noble lady?
Surely you know just by being with me, right?
I'm not a noble lady.
True...
You became familiar with the town.
You'd do surprisingly well here, don't you think?
You're right.
I'm just me... And I'm not any special being...
I'll tell everyone in the Hidamari Mansion about today.
And that there are strong people who live without fearing the shadow of the Thanatos.
What're you talking about?
I'll show you.
Wait- Roche!
This town has been attacked by Thanatos many times.
It's been damaged to the point where the place was trashed leaving no place to escape.
You recognize them, right?
They're all orphans.
Orphans...
Their parents were killed by the Thanatos.
No way...
You're thinking they were so cheerful earlier?
There's no way they can survive after losing their parents unless they're cheerful.
They lost their families and the parents they used to call on.
That sort of thing is pretty common around these parts though.
This is...?
Yeah. The Jinx did this.
The Jinx?
Now that this has happened, they can't live here anymore.
They have no choice but to abandon their homes and leave the town.
This is terrible...
Not really.
At least lives were saved.
All of those who live here...
barely managed to live till today, though.
But as long as we're alive, we can start over even with town destroyed by the Jinx.
But once we're struck by the Thanatos, it's the end of the line.
But if the Queen's Egg says she'll always save us...
It'll be a different story, then.
But what do we do when we get attacked by Thanatos!?
Are you saying we have no choice but to rely on the Jinx!?
Sally's right.
I'm quite an ignorant person.
Well, people don't usually say things unless they've seen it for themselves.
I don't know about the world you live in, though.
But in the end, we have no choice but to live out our lives our own way.
I live out mine... and you live out yours.
Roche...
Huh? Perhaps I said something great?
Did I make your heart beat fast unintentionally?
Jeez... That last one just spoiled the mood!
Don't mess around with me!
You guys ruined my store, right!?
I can't rebuild it with this small sum of money!
No one said it's to rebuild.
With this, you should be able to rent a new home.
What did you say!?
Don't be so greedy.
If you were planning on getting more compensation...
I'm not going to fall for your trick!
The way he said it is just mean!
Wait!
So what're you gonna do, just strolling out like that?
To teach them a lesson, of course!
That's why she called you "ignorant."
But...!
Just watch.
I'll show you how I do things.
W-Wait!
If I have... If I have just a little more, I can rebuild my small store!
You're so annoying!
Wow... What a scoop!
I'll title it: "A Foundation Staff Member's Finishing Blow to a Poor Victim!"
Don't fool around!
Who are you!?
Whoops.
Oww!
What're you doing!?
Ahh... This is quite a painful incident, huh?
I wonder what'll happen to you once I turn it in?
So how much will you pay for this evidence?
Ooh, it's all here, all right!
Big companies sure are different!
Thanks!
Hey!
You worm!
Thanks for your compliment!
You okay, mister?
Yeah... though my store's a mess...
Hey, it'll be a bother if you quit your shop.
I can't start my day without your espresso!
Hmph! If you're just going to say that, say it after you've paid your bill!
Come to think of it, I've saved quite a lot.
Good grief...
H-Hey...!
That's a good start.
Pay me back when everything's in order.
Your face says you can't accept this.
It's...
I see.
So your way of doing things is by playing the good girl.
I think it's wrong getting money through blackmail.
But...
It can help people that way, huh?
It seems I've misjudged you.
Have you fallen for me?
Wrong!
Well, you'll definitely fall for me sooner or later.
Um...
Thanks for today.
You've saved me a lot today.
Not really... I didn't really plan to do that...
I'm not confident yet, but...
I'll also walk down the path I believe in!
And what kind of path is that?
I'll become the Queen sooner with each day.
If I do that, the people will no longer fear the Thanatos
and the Jinx won't snatch away their important things from them.
Ange!
See you.
Ange...
Ange!
We really looked so hard for you!
Yeah... I'm sorry!
Angelique, huh?
Yo!
What's that about the Queen's Egg?
What did you come here to sell tonight?
Ah, I'm just dropping by a bit.
That aside, what's this about the Queen's Egg?
I found out about her family by researching the Aube Hunters...
And it seems she's an orphan.
Orphan?
Is that confirmed news?
It's from a trusted source.
I see...
I just thought she was another noble lady...
But she's the same as me.
Your face says you're bothered with something.
Bothered with something?
You're right.
Indeed, that's how I feel...
Oh... So you're selling something, after all?
What's in that film?
Ah, no... This is different.
I just dropped in to give you moral support.
See you!
This is from yesterday...
Yeah, it came through the mail.
Since when did he...?
What does that man intend to do?
I'd say for now he doesn't intend to make a profit off of Angelique- don't you think?
Then...
Does this mean he's supporting me?
All of the pictures were taken so nicely...
Especially this one.
Jeez... Didn't you let your guard down too much?
I have a rule of not taking pictures that won't make money, but...
I hit my shutter before I realized it.
Since when did I take pictures with no monetary value?
Why... this isn't like me at all!
The Giant Silver Tree is excited.
You can hear it, right, René?
The elders said it...
It seems I'm almost...
Is that so?
Next
I'll tear that false mask off of that snobbish Nyx guy someday!
Roche, behind you!
The Rondo of Time
Next, The Rondo of Time.
It's not nice to talk behind someone's back, Monsieur.
L-Let's put away the whip! ...Okay?
