3月3日「雛祭り」
March third,
Girl's Festival ("Hina Matsuri")

Jack + Ace + King
    Welcome back, my lady.

Jack
    Today's teas are Assam and Darjeeling. Which would you prefer?

King
    As for today's sweets. As the day's theme is peaches, today we are serving a Peach Melba with vanilla ice cream.

Jack
    My, my, young lady. My apologies for greeting you this late. Would you prefer to dine first? Or perhaps you'd like a bath scented with rose leaves. Or perhaps you'd like me~? Ugh.

Ace
    You idiot.

King
    You totally ruined the mood!


Notes:
  • Today's skit is as if the listener is in a butler-cafe (the gender counterpart to a maid-cafe).
  • The third day of the third month is the Girl's Festival, where young girls visit the shrine in kimono and pray for luck, while having a set of special dolls at home. Each year, a new doll is added to the Hina Matsuri Doll Collection, until the collection is complete or the girl has become an adult. A collection can be many tiers high and the looks of the dolls can differ from collection to collection, but the top generally remains the same; an emperor and empress doll with three servant dolls below them.

  • The general fruit associated with the Hina Matsuri is a peach (hence the tea-snacks are peach flavoured).
