Act 1 -

Unable to bear their impoverished life any longer, their stepmother had abandoned Hansel and Gretel in the forest.

They tried their best to find their way home but got lost, and while walking with empty stomachs, they came upon a house made of sweets.

"What a wonderful smell, and what a lovely house! Mmm...so delicious...Onii-chan, you should eat some too!"

Gretel took a bite of part of the house, and now they were in big trouble. However, Hansel also gave in to temptation, and the two ended up eating and destroying the well made candy house.

Then the witch who owned the house appeared. Dressed in pastry chef attire, the witch demanded they repair her candy house, which was her greatest masterpiece in both appearance and taste...!?

Act 2 -

Having angered the witch by eating her candy house without permission, Hansel and Gretel had to help make materials to repair the candy house as an apology.

The siblings failed repeatedly at unfamiliar tasks like whipping cream and baking sponge cake.

The witch, passionate about confectionery, gave the two of them strict training.

"Eating is quick, but baking cookies properly is so difficult..."

Hansel held his head in his hands. The finest flavors aren't created in a day. While dedicating themselves to confectionery making, the siblings lived with the witch and spent their days in training.

Act 3 -

Clumsy Gretel became unable to even knead dough properly due to the strict training and exhaustion.

"I want to go home quickly, where Dad is waiting..."

Gretel burst into tears.

Hansel, who tried to console her saying it couldn't be helped since they ate it themselves, was also getting tired.

While taking a break, the siblings remembered how their late mother used to make sweets for them often.

The two thought that if they got good at making sweets, they could recreate those flavours and make their father happy too.

Having found a goal, the siblings worked hard again, whisking late into the night and kneading dough with rolling pins.

Act 4 -

Thanks to the siblings' efforts and the witch's instruction, the finest candy house was finally completed.

The witch rewarded the siblings by giving them two large gems and told them they could go home.

Hansel and Gretel parted ways with the witch and returned home after a long time.

When they arrived home, the stepmother had returned to her family home and was nowhere to be found. The father, left alone, deeply regretted not being able to stop the stepmother from trying to abandon the siblings in the forest.

The siblings rejoiced at being able to return home and forgave their father.

The gems the witch gave them sold for a high price, so with that money they bought a house, and this time they made sweets for their father and lived happily.

Aftertalk -

Kathrina Griebel
Ugh...the foam won't form. How long am I supposed to mix this cream...

Kathrina Griebel
I can't make sweets at all...I love eating them, but...

Ramona Wolf
Not only reading through materials, but actually experiencing things you don't usually do is very important too. It should add more depth to your acting.

Kathrina Griebel
I-I know that much. That's why I'm actually trying it like this.

Ramona Wolf
Ah...yes, that's right. You're hardworking.

Kathrina Griebel
...Mona-san. Thank you for helping me with baking on your day off.

Ramona Wolf
What!? Kathrina is thanking me...

Kathrina Griebel
What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying it's weird?

Ramona Wolf
No, not at all. I thought you'd changed, in a good way.
