And there's another mission complete!

But I suppose there's no time to celebrate.

I need to relay this information posthaste.

Adventure

Tea's ready.

What the heck is this?

How do you even make tea this spicy?!

I don't get it...

Chili peppers?

How could this happen?!

Jeez, keep it down, Hidetada!

Is something the matter?

The miso I worked so hard to make...

Look at it now!

Miso cheese?

That doesn't sound half bad.

Alright...

Who would do something like this?!

It's adorable!

Hey! Have you seen those little monsters anywhere?

Which little monsters was that?

Those awful little twin pistols!

Nicola and Noel, you mean?

Can't say I ever thought you'd have need of them.

Is something the matter?

Open your eyes and take a look!

My shirt is only half dried!

How am I supposed to "see" that?!

I hung it out in the sun, but someone moved it into the shade!

This can only be the work of those pesky twins!

So they got you too, did they?

Here's how they got me.

And me, too.

Normally they'd settle for just bothering Rapp.

Well we tried just about every idea we had, but none of it was really fun.

Nope, not one bit.

It's just not the same without his majesty around.

I hope he's on his way home already.

Why does someone of his statue have to go out on missions, anyway?

They should have just sent Rapp.

And Charleville got to go with him, too.

Why didn't they send us?

I miss him.

Me too...

I just thought of a perfect plan!

Me too!

Tell me, Rapp!

Just how are you gonna make up for this?

Look at this!

And this! My homemade miso is as good as ruined thanks to Nicola and Noel!

And this tea is no longer fit to drink.

Yeah! And my shirt is only half dried!

Half dried? Is that all you're on about?

"All?!" This is quite an issue for me, you know!

But more importantly, my miso!

Now I have to start over again from scratch!

"More importantly?!"

I'll have you know that dampness is-

You all have my sincerest apologies.

I will see that those two both get an earful for all of this.

It seems they got to you too, Geweer.

Y-yeah, right, but it's no big deal really.

Are they getting restless with Napoleon being gone for so long?

No, this is all my fault.

Go ahead and cover for them if you want,

but just know that this will have an impact on your reputation.

Indeed...

Just uhh, be more careful.

My miso...!

Oh, Rapp!

Whaddya say, should we tell him?

Only if he says he wants to know.

Hey Rapp, we came up with a great idea!

The greatest of ideas!

Now if you REALLY wanna know...

We'll go ahead and tell you.

So? Wanna know?

I bet you do!

I need to have a word with you two.

Patchwork on clothing,

miso ruined with cheese,

half dried laundry,

ink getting swapped out...

I've heard a number of complaints today.

This is all your doing, I imagine?

We were just bored.

And his majesty still isn't around.

Do you think boredom is an excuse to get away with all this?

Well do you, Nicola?

No...

Are you free to cause trouble for everyone while his majesty is away, Noel?

No...

Keep this up, and you'll only tarnish the emperor's good name.

Can't you see that?

We can...

It is times like these when he is away that we are most made to prove our worth.

I would like you two to remember that before you act out like this again.

I may have been a bit hard on them.

Nah, I bet they're fine.

They're always getting in trouble, anyway.

They do...

But I just hope they might learn a thing or two.

You worry too much.

Here you are, then.

Thank you.

Still, I think you might be spoiling them like this.

This is my carrot and stick.

Nicola, Noel. Care for some crepes...?

Stupid Rapp!

Big dumb Rapp!

We're gonna go pick up his majesty!

What?

And just when we were thinking of inviting him along, too!

Let's just go welcome him back ourselves.

Yeah, just the two of us!

I'm sure he'll be so surprised.

He went off to the port, right?

Mhmm.

Okay, so this way?

Or maybe this way?

I know! If we just follow the river, we'll eventually make it to the sea!

Oh yeah! And that should bring us right to the port!

Nice thinking, Noel!

So first things first, let's head for the river.

Where could Nicola and Noel have gone off to?

Something mustn't have sat quite right with them here.

Did anyone say anything harsh to them?

No, they clearly just went to find Napoleon like it says here.

Yep. I bet they just were feeling lonely without him.

Taking their words quite so literally might be taking this situation too lightly.

Yes, read deeper and we see

that they have gone off to complain to Napoleon of their unfair treatment.

"Unfair treatment?"

They're the ones who started this.

Don't start going soft on them.

I'm still worried. Those two have never left camp before, right?

They haven't?!

Uh-oh... What if they run into the Empire somewhere out there?

And it's not just them.

This world isn't exactly full of nothing but friendly faces.

I hope they don't get caught up in anything.

We're in big trouble if anything happens to them.

Maybe you went a bit too hard with that stick?

I cannot allow them to cause you all any more trouble.

I ask that you just leave them be.

I'm telling ya though, if they really went off after Napoleon, they sure got guts.

Even still, they shouldn't be so rash.

So Mr. Redcoat here is a hypocrite now too, eh?

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't you think Rapp seemed a little mean back there?

You thought so, too?

I thought he was worried about those two, but...

They took things too far this time.

They deserved a good scolding.

Sure, but are we still just going to leave them out there?

Well that was fun, huh Noel!

Yeah. But I wouldn't have made it on my own.

Me either. I only made it cause you were here, too.

And I made it here because of you.

Say, you think we'll find his majesty tomorrow?

Of course we will.

You think he'll be surprised?

Oh, I know he will be.

Think he'll be happy to see us?
