VOL. AFTERNOON IN FRANCE

Queen Mary walked gracefully through the corridors of the Chaldees, too, with graceful steps.

She had a sweet smile on her beautiful face, and her long hair, which was between gray and silver, was combed into a double ponytail, and was covered by a large fluffy red hat. The dress was also red, and it looked like it had been specially modified for the battle, mainly because the skirt had been reduced and made easier to wear.

At her side, there were loyal dragoons, Dion.

Not only her knight, but also her best friend.

Dion, a knight with long blond hair, has a male and female appearance that is difficult to distinguish. In fact, if you have to be more serious, she is not difficult to distinguish between male and female, but [male and female]. After using the skill, he can switch between male and female gender. This is probably due to the fact that Dieng's gender was unknown during his lifetime, and he kept the puzzle until his death. Even to death is inconclusive. This kind of topicality has created such skills.

The two of them walked in the corridor of Chaldea, which directly reduced the enthusiasm of the male staff, as long as they passed by, they would definitely have to look back and take a good look.

Queen Mary was also unconscious, every time she passed by someone, she would smile, raise her arm, and gently shake her red gloves twice, and the hearts of those who saw it would be crisp.

Suddenly, she found a familiar figure in the corridor, her eyes lit up, and she waved her arms to greet her:

"The Lord, the Master! Vive-La-France (Long live France)! ”

Hearing someone call her, Rika Fujimaru turned around and saw Queen Mary's smiling figure.

"It's Queen Mary! And the knight Dion! You two...... Is this going for afternoon tea? ”

Rika Fujimaru handed the training report in her hand to Matthew, and asked her to help submit a copy to Director Noailu and Leonardo da Vinci.

"Hmm. Yes, it's afternoon tea in France, do you want to come along? ”

"O France...... Are Joan of Arc there too? ”

Rika Fujimaru suddenly became interested.

Isn't that what it is...... Will a woman!

When she was a high school girl...... No, there's something wrong with that, she's also a high school girl now! It's just to save the world by the way, that's how it is played in the anime, right?

And...... This is an aristocrat! Marie Antoinette, but a true queen! Afternoon tea must be of high standard. What high-end black tea, delicious dim sum, etc., there must be everything!

At the thought of dim sum, Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth began to secrete saliva uncontrollably. During this time, the time for work and training increased considerably, and she hadn't eaten a decent dessert for a long time.

She is different from Yagi Yukisai, after Yagi Yukisai became a subordinate, she doesn't need to sleep, and she can save 8 hours a day to arrange her own things. She's different.

"Come along, too, it's going to be a pleasure!"

"Hmmm! Then I might as well be respectful! Queen Mary's tea party, I'm looking forward to it!! ”

"Huh?"

Queen Mary tilted her head, raised her eyebrows slightly troubled, and corrected:

"That's not right. The initiator of this French tea party is not me~"

————————————————

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to all of us. I am the initiator of this French tea party, Napoleon Bwannaba. Please don't be inhibited. ”

The small, blonde boy looked a little funny in a military uniform, a cloak, and a large officer's hat. However, everyone knows that this boy, who looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old, will become the world-famous commander-in-chief in the future, Napoleon Bonaparte.

He is the product of the fusion of the human Napoleon Bwannaba and the heroic Napoleon Bonaparte, and he is like a servant. It was thanks to this that the Chaldeans were able to summon him so easily. Otherwise, with the popularity of His Majesty Napoleon, it would be difficult to summon it.

There was no repercussion in the enthusiastic teenager's speech, only Queen Mary's cheerful applause and bright smile.

This, it's no wonder, right?

Because...... Napoleon and Queen Mary...... These two people...... In a sense, it is impossible to be compatible.

Because...... Queen Mary and her husband, Louis XVI, died at the hands of the Jacobins. And Napoleon was an important figure in the Jacobins. Although he didn't execute the two of them with his own hands, it would be awkward to meet after all, right?

But looking at the appearance of the two of them, they don't mind at all.

This made Joan of Arc sigh loudly, always feeling that she was a fool who was worried about the relationship between the two.

(I'm not smart though.) It's just an illiterate nameless village girl. )

Thinking so, Joan of Arc picked up her knife and fork, cut a piece of the thick cake that had been stacked in front of her, and put it in her mouth with a fork.

She was born in the countryside and came from the ranks, so she didn't have the opportunity to eat this delicate cake. After eating, Joan of Arc rarely showed a soft and sweet expression that was not a saint at all.

"Delicious!"

"To be praised by Joan of Arc like this, I also have the value of hard work."

Napoleon smiled triumphantly, revealing a row of teeth.

"Well, it was done by His Majesty Napoleon. Well...... Ay?! His Majesty Napoleon did it?! Do you still have the craft?! ”

Joan of Arc didn't think there was anything wrong at first, and chewed her words carefully with the next bite of cake, and then realized the problem.

"Well, what's the problem? There is nothing impossible in Napoleon's dictionary! Isn't it just making a cake? ”

The knight Dion silently cut a piece of cake, stuck it with a fork, and carefully examined the cut noodles, layer after layer of thin noodles pressed together...... This kind of cake, according to the common sense she has obtained, should be called ......

No...... That person wouldn't have done that, would he?

Dieng suppressed his thoughts.

However......

"It's delicious. It's not much better than the royal family's dim sum chef! Napoleon! ”

Should I say that I really deserve to be Queen Mary? I didn't use honorifics at all.,Naturally accosting him.。

"It's called Napoleon Cake, right?"

"Hmm!"

Napoleon's cheerful response.

Napoleon cake, because of the legend has a thousand layers of thin puff pastry, is also called a thousand layers of puff pastry. As for why Napoleon is in the name, it seems that it is because of the misinformation of later generations, and Napoleon himself has neither eaten nor seen it.

Historically, this kind of thing was common, right?

It's obviously not related, but it's inexplicably named it. There are quite a lot of such unreasonable things.

"This is a Napoleon cake made by Napoleon himself, come, everyone, don't care. Please taste Napoleon. Tsk – I have to say, I'm a real genius. ”

Napoleon laughed.

His cake technique was specially consulted with Boudicca.

That's why I made this cake.

Napoleon did not overthrow the Bourbons with his own hands, nor did he execute Queen Mary with his own hands. However, his Napoleonic First Empire, indeed, was established after the Bourbons.

For Queen Mary, he was a true thief of the kingdom.

What was his purpose in holding this tea party?

Simply deepening the friendship between French servants?

Or is it ......

Let Queen Mary [eat Napoleon] and give her a little psychological comfort?

In Queen Mary's smile, I couldn't guess whether she was relieved or didn't think about it at all.

His Majesty Napoleon was so proud that he couldn't guess whether he prepared the Napoleon cake at random, or whether he did it consciously.

One thing is certain, though......

"It's delicious! Me, I haven't eaten anything so delicious in a long time......"

Only the taste can guarantee that it is really delicious. Rika Fujimaru almost cried.

It's too pitiful, little Rika! Girls are made of sweetness, cakes and percentage cuteness! Don't think about calories today and let off steam!

Of course, after stepping on the scale, the whole person fell into a collapse Fujimaru Rika, that is a later thing.
