Title: n°98 Far Off Ideal
Alain: Everyone here taking classes
are children with no relatives that I brought in from the monetary.
We've take in anyone, regardless of status or assets.
This is the Alain Liberte School's inaugural class.

Page 185:
Marie: Hmph. It's hard to believe you would invest your own money into all of this.
You're trying to actually carry out Rousseau's 'Emile' where he raises pure children into 'ideal' human beings..?
Alain: ......Marie, I was born of a father who worked on a Plantation for a French master in the Caribbean Sea
and a black slave mother. I grew up being jeered at and called a "Café au lait"...
I sought a system of values outside of French Supremacy.
After I fought alongside the North American *Indians as a soldier of the allied forces,
13 years ago I decided to board a ship to tour around the world.
Asterisk: *The correct term would be Native Americans, but the name they were called at the time is being used.
Marie: ...And finally, you were hired for a ship that subjugates pirates in the Caribbean Sea, and went aboard as captain.
That's why you were called at the recent welcome ceremony for the Admiral in Versailles, right?
Alain: Yes, Marie! The world is huge!!!

Page 186:
Alain: England where they decide laws by Parliament,
Qing where they decide status not by Birth, but by 'Imperial Examination',
And the New World, America, where there are no privileged classes or aristocrats. Everyone is a commoner and and as long as you have ability, you can become anything.
Even more countries that no one has ever seen before may give their first cry!
There is more to the world than France!!!
Working for the king is not all there is!!!

Page 187:
Alain: Soon there will come a world where people are not categorized by their birth, gender, occupation, or color of their skin.
And in order to teach children of that new world...
I need your help, Marie!!!
Marie: Huh...?!!
Alain: Marie, due to the nature of your work, you have great knowledge of medicine.
There are sure to be children that wish to become doctors.
When that time comes, I want you to take the podium for me!!!
Marie: Sorry.
There ain't any kids that would ask for lessons from a Sanson.

Page 188:
Alain: Trust me, Marie.
I've received unwarranted discrimination due to the color of my skin,
but I polished my abilities and reached where I am now.
I'm living proof that this world will change!!!
The world will change,
Marie...
Okay then, let's all write out own names.

Page 189:
Girl: ..........
ALaine: What's wrong, Cécile?
You came all the way from Versailles, didn't you? If there's anything you don't understand, please ask.
Ce: But all I ever do is clean stoves.
I've never written anything before...
Ala: I see. Then let me teach you how!
This is how Cécile is written.
Ce: Waah!

Page 190:
This is my name...?
I've never seen it before!!
Alain: Come any time on Sundays when you have no work.
If you like, I'll send a horse to pick you up.
I'm counting on you, Marie!!
Marie: HUH?!!
Ce: Thank you, Lord Marie!
I'm gonna study a whole lot! I'm going to be able to write my name for sure!
Marie: Hmph!
Ah well...

Page 191:
Alain: Well then, everyone,
I'm going to pick up clothing and sheets that were donated to us by a church.
Keep your studying up until I get back, all right?!!!
Sorry, Marie.
I hate to make you hang around with me on your day off.
Marie: How strange.
Even these fantasy-like things sound like they could be true when Alain says them...

Page 192:
Charles: Marie, the new era belongs to us.
Let's combine out power to change the future!
Marie: Alain,
are you going to change to be like Big Brother someday?
I really hope that you at least do not.

Page 193:
Guys: It looks like he's gone.
Shall we get this underway?

Page 194:
Guys: A fire!!!
The mansion is on firrrrre!!!!
Out of the way!!!
Stand aside!!!!
Where are the children?!!

Page 195:
Alain: ......!!!!
Guys: How gruesome.
From how it looks, all of the children inside were...
Look, that arm is carrying something!!
!!
Alain: C... Cécile...
Cécile... You wrote it so well...
Yes. This is your name...

Page 196:
Guy: They may have been the brats of a good-for-nothing dirty maggot,
but they at least have done a commendable job of warming us in this cold weather.
Alain: ------!!!
It... It couldn't be...
You...!!!
Lux: Don't you remember?
I told you not to belittle our power, didn't I?
Alain: Un... Unforgivable...!!!

Page 197:
Ala: These children are not maggots!
Every one of them is a human being with a respectable name!
There are no humans whose deaths do not matter!!!
Lux: Nonsense!!
Let's return to Versailles!!!
It is incomparable to this foul-smelling town!!!
Alain: W... Wait!!!

Page 198:
Alain: -------!!!

Page 199:
Alain: M... Marie-----!!!
Marie: They're dead!
Blanka: KIKIH!
Alain: HAI-YAAAA!!!

Page 200:
Both: Now, to Versailles!
To avenge the children----!!!!
