ZERO: Hey there, Charlotte. Looks like you're having another productive day, bathing in the attention of men.

CHARLOTTE: Oh my, Zero! Whatever do you mean?

ZERO: You know exactly what I mean. I can see it in your eyes.

CHARLOTTE: Huh? No, really! I don't understand at all!

ZERO: Oh, is that how you wanna do it? Then I'll show you what I mean. I'm better prepared for this than you are.

CHARLOTTE: Oh, no, what do you mean by prepared?

ZERO: Who knows? You can figure it out for yourself.

CHARLOTTE: Oh Zero, cut it out! Oh, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to greet that gentleman over there! Tehehe!

ZERO: ...

CHARLOTTE: Oh, Zero! Do you have a moment? There's something I'd like to discuss.

ZERO: Sure, what is it?

CHARLOTTE: Oh, not here! Let's go over there... where we can be alone!

[Scene change]

ZERO: Alright, it's just you and me now. So, what is it?

CHARLOTTE: You think you can just do whatever you want just 'cause I'm not telling you to bugger off, you little pissant!? Don't. Talk. To me!

ZERO: !? What? What's gotten into you?

CHARLOTTE: Nothing at all. This is the way I really am. Burn it into your retinas!

ZERO: ...

CHARLOTTE: Consider this a warning! Anyway, just don't talk to me in front of others! If I play along with you, everyone's gonna start treating me like a freak too! And once you get going, there's no end to your crap! How do you think I feel when I'm forced to hang out with you!? I'm only doing it because I'm in public and don't have any other choice! Ugh, guys like you are seriously the worst! There's not one good thing about getting involved with you!

[Exit Charlotte]

ZERO: ... She just went off on me all at once... I get it. Shaming her to her very limits was fun, but I never expected her to have this sorta hidden underbelly to her... But, I've got no plans to do as she says... Now, what's gonna be my next move...?

A RANK

CHARLOTTE: I mean it! Like...

ZERO: Found here. There she is. She's set up shop in plain view of all those men, making conversation while shaking that butt... So this is all a calculated act? What a girl. Heh heh heh... but just wait and see what happens next...

CHARLOTTE: No, not at all! I'm not the least bit cute!

ZERO: Hey, Charlotte. Sorry to interject, but I see you're as naughty as ever today.

CHARLOTTE: Geh! I mean, uh... Zero! What do you mean, naughty?

ZERO: The way you move. It's like you're begging me to tease you.

CHARLOTTE: Z-Zero, how about a little private chat?

ZERO: Just the two of us? You want me that badly? Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not moving one inch. It's time to show the world who you really a-

CHARLOTTE: No, I insist!

ZERO: Guh...!? I can't get her off me!

[Scene change]

CHARLOTTE: So you wanna break our agreement right away, you dirty little freak!? I hope your affairs are settled!

ZERO: Gahhh!! Y-You pack quite a punch, too...

CHARLOTTE: Of course I do! How many years do you think I've guarded the border for!? Now, lemme tell you what's happening here! You broke our promise, and now I'm gonna grind you to mincemeat!

ZERO: M-mincemeat!? No... anything but that! Charlotte, listen to me! You have it all wrong. I'm not sure what you're scared of, but the guys around seem to like it when we talk.

CHARLOTTE: Huh?

ZERO: They all try to act casual while trying to eavesdrop on our conversation. They love it, and you're the center of attention. In other words, it's actually a good thing for you to be talking to me!

CHARLOTTE: R-really? I never even noticed...

ZERO: Yeah, because I just made it all up...

CHARLOTTE: What was that?

ZERO: Nothing. I didn't say anything.

CHARLOTTE: Hah, Ahahaha... Sorry about that, Zero. I guess I had a little misunderstanding... How can I ever make it up to you?

ZERO: I don't need anything... just spare my life, that's all I ask...

CHARLOTTE: Y-yes, of course! Let's just forget all about that little punch, and be friends from now on! And then, let's talk lots where everyone can see us! Tehehe!

[Exit Charlotte]

ZERO: Sigh... I haven't felt such fear in a long time...

S RANK

ZERO: Thanks for dropping by, Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE: Hm, this is rare. I was wondering why you weren't talking to me anymore, when you were so persistent before...

ZERO: I like watching others grimace in pain, you see, but ever since that day, you've been enjoying our conversations, and that's no fun for me.

CHARLOTTE: What, really? And here I totally thought you were cheering on my efforts to land a rich man.

ZERO: Nope. I won't be letting any other man make you his bride.

CHARLOTTE: Huh? What are you up to?

ZERO: To be clearer, I want to tie you down.

CHARLOTTE: Sorry, but I'm not into that.

ZERO: Don't worry, that's not what I mean. I mean this.

CHARLOTTE: Is this...

ZERO: Yeah, it's a wedding ring. This is how I wanna join us together. Charlotte, please marry me.

CHARLOTTE: H-Hey! If this is your idea of a joke, I'm really gonna kill you this time! Besides, if I marry you, then what about my dreams?

ZERO: Marrying a rich man? We're set there.

CHARLOTTE: Huh? You mean you've got money?

ZERO: Just think about it. I'm in direct service to the prince himself. I dunno how much money you're looking for, but a mere border guard's salary is nothing compared to what I make.

CHARLOTTE: Oh...

ZERO: Although, I still couldn't keep up with proper royalty... But, if it'll make you marry me, I'll do everything I can to get more cash. That's how much I love you... so much that I can't even understand myself...

CHARLOTTE: ...

ZERO: Yeah, I thought you'd say no...

CHARLOTTE: I... I never said no. I never expected you to go this far. I thought it was just another one of your sick jokes, so I tried to use money as an excuse...

ZERO: Is that so? I'm serious, though.

CHARLOTTE: Yeah, you are... Even I can tell that much.

ZERO: ...

CHARLOTTE: Alright... I'll get married. To you.

ZERO: Charlotte!

CHARLOTTE: And you don't need to be especially rich. I can figure something out on that end by myself.

ZERO: Don't say that. We're gonna be family from now on, so at least let me make the payments you send home.

CHARLOTTE: How do you...

ZERO: You looking down on my intelligence network? I know everything about you.

CHARLOTTE: Ugh, you really are a sicko, but... thanks. If you're willing to go that far, then I'll take you up on the offer. You'd better make me lots of cash! Wring out every last coin you can get from the Nohrian royal family!
