Act 1 -

17th century France. A child prince still sat on the throne in an era of chaos filled with swirling conspiracies.

D'Artagnan, who had come from the countryside aiming to become a musketeer and advance in life, was harassed by a badly behaved knight along the way and then had his letter of introduction stolen, leaving him in a panic.

He heard there was a highly reputed jack-of-all-trades shop in town and knocked on their door, asking them to find the thief.

There, he encountered the existence known as the 'Three Little Musketeers' with their strong personalities.

"A client? I'm busy with a board game right now, so someone else deal with them!"

"A customer? If you can't pay our high fees, please go home!"

"Hey, big sisters, you're troubling the customer...!"

The eldest daughter was lazy and loved to play, and the third daughter was contrary and selfish.

Between such a big sister and younger sister was the kind hearted second daughter.

When the tearful D'Artagnan explained the situation to the second daughter, she readily accepted with "I understand."

When he explained that he didn't have much money, the second daughter smiled brightly.

"I'll give you a fair price!"

Thus D'Artagnan met the Three Little Musketeers, and they would form a deep friendship from then on.

Act 2 -

The Three Little Musketeers, having accepted the request, heard the characteristics of the knight who had stolen D'Artagnan's letter of introduction.

"Hmm, judging from that appearance, that person might be Rochefort, a knight in the Cardinal's service."

When the clever second daughter answered, the eldest daughter gave a big yawn.

"Ugh, getting involved with the Cardinal would be bad news."

The third daughter also frowned and played with her hair as if she was bored.

"He's a subordinate of that person who's constantly feuding with the Queen, who's acting as prime minister in place of the child prince, right?"

"It's dangerous, so wouldn't it be safer to give up?"

"That can't be..." D'Artagnan's shoulders dropped, and the second daughter hurriedly encouraged him.

"It's okay! Let's go get your letter of introduction back!"

When the second daughter scolded them for giving up right after accepting a request, the eldest and third daughters reluctantly got up and began preparing.

D'Artagnan wondered anxiously whether it was really okay to entrust this to these three musketeers...

Act 3 -

Taking advantage of the unstable monarchy due to the previous king's premature death, the Cardinal was working behind the scenes.

D'Artagnan's letter of introduction being stolen was apparently also due to the Cardinal's intentions to prevent the musketeer corps from gaining power.

D'Artagnan, who couldn't quite trust the three musketeers, tried to negotiate joining without his letter of introduction, but was coldly refused.

Then Rochefort appeared again and mocked D'Artagnan.

Rochefort easily held down D'Artagnan as D'Artagan grabbed at him demanding his letter back, and sneered.

"Ah, you dull country bumpkin musketeer apprentice. If you can beat me in a duel, I'll return it."

Though he knew he couldn't win, D'Artagnan was given conditions and was troubled, when those Three Little Musketeers appeared before him.

"Hey Rochefort, you black-hearted Cardinal's lapdog~," taunted the third daughter.

"Please return that person's letter of introduction!" requested the second daughter.

"The Three Little Musketeers will take on your duel instead!" declared the eldest daughter boldly.

D'Artagnan was surprised. He couldn't possibly let girls younger than himself duel.

The three were just girls who called themselves musketeers and ran a jack-of-all-trades shop.

"Stop it!" he hurriedly tried to stop the three, when the eldest daughter shouldered a deck brush instead of a sword and winked.

"Just leave it to us. We'll work properly for the money we received."

Her profile looked so dependable she looked like a completely different person...

Act 4 -

"If it's dealing with children, three against one is fine. I won't take their lives."

Saying he'd play with them, Rochefort readily agreed to duel with the three musketeers while holding his sheathed sword.

D'Artagnan, wary of whether this guy would show restraint even against children, tried to stop the duel, but was warned by the third and second daughters to stand back.

The Three Little Musketeers heading toward Rochefort joined hands and united their wills.

"One for all, and all for one!"

When the duel began, the eldest daughter took the lead and used her deck brush to stop and deflect Rochefort's sword.

D'Artagnan was surprised that a child could block an adult musketeer's sword.

Next, the second daughter tapped Rochefort's shins with a ladle, striking his weak point.

As Rochefort staggered in pain and confusion, the third daughter patted his face with a duster, covering him in dust.

Rochefort finally backed away and began coughing while shedding tears.

"Now! Attack!"

At the eldest daughter's signal, the three launched their total assault.

After letting out an undignified scream of "Ahhh!", Rochefort instantly fainted and collapsed.

"We showed them our teamwork!"

"Well, we were pretty coordinated."

"We may be little, but we don't call ourselves the Three Musketeers for nothing."

The three sisters looked down at Rochefort with their chests puffed out.

The three excelled not only at finding things, but also in battle.

They took the letter of introduction from the chest of the unconscious Roche fort, who had his eyes rolled back, completing their request.

Despite the troubles, D'Artagnan was able to join the musketeer corps as he had dreamed, and later went to the jack-of-all-trades shop again with cake to thank them.

"Hey everyone, are you doing well?"

Thus D'Artagnan began hanging around the jack-of-all-trades shop and eventually became a member of the Three Little Musketeers, but that's another story.

Motosu Towa
Fuwah...sleepy...

Niizuma Yae
...

Fudeshima Shigure
Niizuma, you've been staring at Towa-senpai too much.

Niizuma Yae
Ah, Shigure-chan. Senpai fits this role so perfectly. I was admiring how amazing it was and couldn't help staring.

Fudeshima Shigure
Well, she's always playing games anyway, right? The role is similar to Towa-senpai. Isn't that natural?

Niizuma Yae
She's very talented, but usually approachable, and very reliable when it matters. It's definitely like senpai!

Fudeshima Shigure
She's called a genius, but I wonder how true that actually is...

Motosu Towa
What are you two talking about?

Fudeshima Shigure
We're saying this role really suits you, senpai.

Motosu Towa
Suits me...?

Niizuma Yae
To be able to act so naturally, it's really educational!

Motosu Towa
(Yikes. Did they notice I was being pretty lazy naturally...?) R-Really? Thanks. Well then, I'll go do some individual practice over there.

Niizuma Yae
Ah...she left.
