The Mittelfrank Opera Company is on tour to raise the Imperial army's morale when they encounter some troubles on the road.

Adrienne volume_up
Is... Is this the end?
Myson volume_up
We must protect the opera company! Make this a performance to remember!
Jeritza volume_up
Are these kidnappers? Thieves? Well, I guess it doesn't matter—we'll send them packing no matter who they are!
Myson volume_up
We should be safe now. Singers, go on ahead!
??? volume_up
Oh, these people look fancy—and fancy folk always got valuables on 'em! Now drop what you got!
Shez volume_up
We better take these guys out, quick.
Shez volume_up
We better take these guys out, quick.
??? volume_up
Thank you! I can keep going now.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hey, ain't that Manuela? The one they call the Divine Songstress?!
Myson volume_up
Oh, look. They know me. And what's more, they clearly love me!
Myson volume_up
Do you truly intend to keep up this boorish behavior in front of the Manuela Casagranda?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Course not, ma'am! I'll follow ya to the ends of the earth, promise!
Jeritza volume_up
You really can charm anyone.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Urgh... They got me!
??? volume_up
Hold it right there! We're gonna avenge our fallen with your blood!
??? volume_up
Is that...Dorothea? No way! I love her!
??? volume_up
Sorry for attacking ya! Lemme make it up to ya, please! Ya just gotta!
??? volume_up
What're ya talkin' about? That's it! I'm gonna have to sick the boss on ya!
??? volume_up
An encounter with the songstress Manuela? Well, this ain't no time for thievin'!
??? volume_up
Oh, my dear Manuela! To celebrate our newfound, uh...acquaintanceship, please lemme aid ya in battle!
??? volume_up
Ya won't get away with this!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hang on... Is that Dorothea? Eep! She was always my favorite songstress!
Jeritza volume_up
They know me, do they? Perhaps I can talk some sense into them...
Jeritza volume_up
Oh, hello there! I take it you are familiar with the Mittelfrank Opera Company, yes? If so, might you be so good as to let us pass?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
D-D-Dorothea! 'Course you can pass! I'd do anything for you!
Myson volume_up
It seems your charms have turned even these hardened bandits to jelly.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ya got me...but my comrades'll have revenge!
??? volume_up
Hey! I'll teach you to play rough with my lackeys!
??? volume_up
Sorry, but ya ain't gettin' through here!
Jeritza volume_up
The next town is so close... One more push, everyone! We must make it through!
??? volume_up
They're gettin' away! Oh, you screwed this up for us good!
Shez volume_up
Still more of 'em, huh? Guess wiping them out's our only choice.
Shez volume_up
Still more of 'em, huh? Guess wiping them out's our only choice.
Myson volume_up
How long can this go on...and how many of these boors are there, anyway?!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Have no fear, my dear Manuela! I have come to rescue you!
Myson volume_up
Hanneman! You came for me! Oh dear... Am I actually into this?
Jeritza volume_up
This reminds me of the battle scenes from our operas. You always were a natural at stage combat, Manuela.
Myson volume_up
And you were no slouch either, Dorothea. Your swashbuckling lit up the proscenium!
Myson volume_up
I've often wondered if others like you never learn of their talents and fall instead into the bandit life.
Jeritza volume_up
Yes, I suppose it's lucky I turned out this way instead of as a common thief lurking by the side of some dusty highway.
??? volume_up
Sweet surprise! It's Manuela and Dorothea in the flesh! Somebody sock me, 'cause I gotta be dreamin'!
Artisan volume_up
You're so beautiful, Dorothea...
Artisan volume_up
I was a huge fan when I used to live in the capital. Please, lemme come with ya!
Artisan volume_up
My comrades'll...avenge me...
??? volume_up
Eep! It's Manuela!
??? volume_up
Oh, Manuela! I'll follow ya anywhere!
??? volume_up
But I wanted Manuela to...be the one steppin' all over me...
Myson volume_up
I wasn't actually fishing, but I still like what we caught. It's good to know the people still really love us!
Jeritza volume_up
Especially bandits, apparently. Not quite sure how to feel about that.
??? volume_up
And after I'd finally...made songstress...
