First, the official QB page has a teaser of the Witch OVA, yay~!
And, you might have noticed we just got a poll now? Precisely on the subject of these backstories, my partner Final Agent wanted to gauge how you guys would feel about changing the usual last sentence in these, so do vote away please~! (or feel free to comment too?)
So, here's the backstory of the newest Grimoire, plus a certain Crimson Ninja as a bonus!
Enjoy!
Gretel
A female warrior visited Gretel's
confectionery studio. What brought her there should be obvious- a desire to do
battle with the famed beautiful fighter.
“I refuse. These spontaneous
challenges are nothing short of barbaric, official battles or not.”
She answered as she used cream to
decorate a freshly baked soft sponge cake with a masterpiece design.
“Plus, I have to deliver these
sweets to the children. I'll treat you when I'm done, so have a cup of tea and
wait a moment.”
Overcome by Gretel's gentle smile,
the female warrior decided to wait and sit on the bench, her mouth watering as
she imagined the cake's taste.
Dongaragasha-n! Hyu---n, gooo---n!!
A great clamor echoed throughout the
kitchen. Despite being a highly-skilled confectionery craftswoman, it seemed
the rumor that she was a bit of a klutz held true as well. Judging from the
sound, a large pan or something similar had likely fallen directly on her head.
Should she go and check? As the
female warrior hesitated, someone suddenly sat next to her with a 'thud’, and
blew air into her ear!
“Yo, you're quite the looker,
aren't ya? If you want someone to fool around with, then I’m your guy.”
A gorgeous woman. Though she had
Gretel's face, her eyes now had a lascivious look to them, and her alluring
lips only seemed to speak for a different person. Without wasting a moment, her
arms coiled like snakes around the female warrior's chest and waist.
“You won't be able to live without
me by the time I'm done though, so no regrets later.”
The female warrior closed her eyes,
and surrendered herself to chance.
One hour later, Gretel stood there
with a puzzled look on her face and the female warrior collapsed on her floor
with a dazed expression.
“Well, what to do now? Did that
person come out again? How bothersome, everyone's waiting too...”
And then, the next challenger
appeared.
“Oh my, seems I won't be able to
avoid this one, I suppose...? Then there's no helping it. The children will
have to wait a little longer.”
Sure enough, can Gretel really win
this battle?
They won’t know that unless they
fight.
Mai Shiranui
I'm Mai Shiranui! Successor of the Shiranui-style ninjutsu. I may not
look like it, but I'm a full-fledged ninja.
I've participated lots of times in the world-famous “The King Of
Fighters” fighting tournament too, my skills are nothing less than Japan's
finest, no wait, even calling them the world’s finest wouldn't be an
exaggeration!
So why am I here? Because I received yet another invitation letter to
“The King Of Fighters”, that's why. *giggle* If I win this tournament, Andy's
heart will be mine for sure this time.
Though, this tournament only has women in it, women dressed in some kind
of cosplay armor. Something's off about this...
Well, whatever! Doesn't matter who
my opponent is, I'll never lose! Keep your eyes on me! Andy!
Sure enough, will Mai be able to
defeat these unknown opponents and shine furthermore as the number one female
warrior?
And, will she be able to conquer
Andy's heart?!
They won’t know that unless they
fight.
