La Pucelle de l'espoir

“Wh... wha? No, of course not! I would never dare compare myself to Him. A-And besides, Jesus was not burnt at the stake.”

“O-Oh, did I let that slip?” She was used to being around friends who knew. “I, ah... I was born in 1412. I’m from 15th century France.”

“Has anyone else had strange dreams and visions lately? I haven’t had dreams like this since... well, since the 1400s.”

“I hope you like it!” Indeed, the pastries were warm and soft, almost melting in Akechi’s mouth. They weren’t particularly fancy, but they were simple with a slight sweetness.

“Well, I only took them out of the oven about twenty minutes ago. Go on, try one.”
