STORY
GE 1895
Tonight, Alicia had another strange dream.
Descending the long, long spiral staircase, there lies the entrance to a suspicious basement. Usually, she would chat here with the "mother" in her memories or have her read books to her... but tonight, she is nowhere to be found.
"Hey, where is the usual mom?"
With the heart-shaped key she found on the dressing table, she secretly tries opening the door. Standing there was her "mother"... no, a terrifying "Queen" obscenely entwined with a man.
As she stands frozen in place from the sheer shock, the surrounding men lunge at Alicia all at once.
Alicia runs away. But a young girl could never escape on her own. Just as she is about to be caught, she is saved by a hatter――
――When she wakes up, she is inside Bar Masquerade. She cannot remember at all what dream she was having until just moments ago.
It was Lewis, the bartender, who gently draped a blanket over the sleeping songstress.
"Were you perhaps having a pleasant dream? Now, let's open up the shop."

STORY:
•Short Version
GE 1914
A stunning woman who makes every man turn his head. That is Chelsea, the songstress of Bar Masquerade.
Having fulfilled her dream of standing on stage, she is now the most brilliant, unattainable flower blooming in the city of Flor.
Yet, even for her, there was something she could not obtain. Her childhood friend Lewis, who works as a bartender.
The days when they played happily together are in the past. Nowadays, he is consumed only by work, and lately, she does not even remember the last time they spoke.
What Chelsea wants him to see isn't her immature self from back then. She wants him to look at her current self, shining at her absolute brightest...
One night, as Lewis dutifully carries out the closing chores, Chelsea mutters:
"You really never change, do you?"
Lewis's response to her remark was unexpected.
"You've changed, haven't you?"
As if reacting to those words, Chelsea leans over the bar counter and pours out her feelings to Lewis. But what came back in return was his cold "social courtesy."
"I will continue to watch over you as you live your dream. From 'this side,' that is."
•Full Version
Long, long ago, in a certain place, there is an opera house named Bar Masquerade.
Passing through the double doors, a gorgeous and splendid grand hall unfolds before your eyes. And a large stage, set up to face the bar counter.
Watching the shows of beautiful songstresses while becoming intoxicated by the quiet bartender's drinks. Hearing that they could spend such a supreme night, the men of this Western Kingdom of Amor rush into the bar all together.
Amor in 1914 was truly in its golden age.
The end of the war. The advancement of science. Trendy fashions adorned the streets, and women were making strides into society. Automobiles and radios were mass-produced and mass-consumed.
While giving rise to inequality and conflict, people's lives were changing rapidly.
"From the era of royalty [Royals] to the era of scandal [Scandals]."
Such a phrase symbolizing the frenzy heralded the dawn of a new era.
Above all, what completely transformed society was the spread of electricity. In other words, people became able to light up even the night.
Having thus acquired nights that never sleep, humanity brought a wide variety of entertainment into full bloom.
Fine booze. Dancing jazz. Flying money and peerless beauties... The place that monopolizes all such human desires and gazes is this very Bar Masquerade.
In this glamorous Bar Masquerade, there is an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Her name is Chelsea. She is the songstress of Bar Masquerade, blooming most delicately in this city at the time.
She boasts immense popularity with her rare beauty and lovely voice, so much so that all kinds of men, from businessmen to nobles, send her passionate approaches every night.
Even so, Chelsea never once sways to the voices of such men.
An unreachable flower that no one could pluck. That is Chelsea, the songstress of Bar Masquerade.
There is no longer any dream she cannot fulfill. Everyone must have thought so.
However, even such a noble songstress has just one thing that she cannot obtain, no matter what.
One night, having finished her show, Chelsea was gazing at the mountain of presents given to her by men.
Highest-grade fur coats and numerous precious jewels. They were nothing but luxury items that anyone would envy. But Chelsea had no interest in such things at all.
As she lay down on the chaise longue looking bored, someone spoke to her.
"...We are closing soon. Please hurry up and change."
His name was Lewis. He was a bartender at Bar Masquerade.
Lewis and Chelsea are childhood friends who both grew up in this very establishment. When they were young, under a large cherry blossom tree, the two became close and shared their dreams with each other. Chelsea to become a songstress, and Lewis a bartender. Thus, they promised to fulfill their dreams together.
Recently, however, he was always occupied with work, and they no longer even had opportunities to talk. Had he completely forgotten the memories of those days?
To Lewis, who was diligently carrying on cleaning the shop as usual, Chelsea murmured:
"You really haven't changed a bit since the old days, have you?"
Then, pausing his cleaning, Lewis replied softly while keeping his back turned:
"You've changed, haven't you?"
Precisely because Lewis is the one who has been watching Chelsea's stage from across the bar counter, he knows. Now, she has become conceited with her identity as a songstress and has lost even her passion for singing.
Lewis cannot bear to watch Chelsea drown in flashy dreams and fall from grace.
However, times have changed drastically. Chelsea, too, has grown into an adult woman.
What she really wants him to look at is not the immature girl of back then. She wants him to look at her current self, shining at her absolute best.
"...Yes, I've changed. Into a stunning woman that anyone would turn around to look at."
And leaning over the bar counter, she closes in on the younger Lewis as if to tease him. It was merely a mischievous impulse, like plucking a cherry ready to be eaten.
Yes, she is Chelsea. The songstress of Bar Masquerade whom no one can win over, no matter how many lavish gifts they shower upon her. Such a woman said, "I want you to love me." Even Lewis will surely fall for her.
Yet... what Lewis offered in place of an answer was a single glass.
"Cherry Blossom. A cocktail said to have been recently created in a country in the East. Please let me know your thoughts next time."
Saying so, Lewis tries to leave that spot.
"Wait a...!"
Without thinking, Chelsea tugs at his tie to hold him back.
No matter how expensive the present, it has no value whatsoever.
To this secret songstress whose love has been twisted.
"A single glass of a cocktail like this isn't enough to get me drunk anymore."
Becoming a songstress in front of him was Chelsea's dream. Even so.
"Look at me more. Notice me properly. Right now, I am...!"
Chelsea chose love over her dream.
However, Lewis brushed away her heated hand and directed an ice-cold gaze at her.
"This bar counter is for me and the customers to connect our hearts. It is not something a songstress can cross so lightheartedly."
Serving as a bartender in front of her was Lewis's dream. That was why.
"I will continue to watch over you as you live your dream. From 'this side' of the bar counter."
Lewis chose his dream over love.
Even if the times change dizzyingly, there are things that never change.
The distance between the moon and the sun.
The bitterness of a cocktail drunk for the first time.
And above all, the empty feeling after a heartbreak.
No matter how conveniently the world develops, people will continue to be bewildered by love just the same. In any era, surely.
When Lewis returned to the hall, Chelsea was breathing quietly in her sleep.
Likely exhausted from crying her eyes out, she seemed to have fallen fast asleep.
Lewis gently covered her with a red blanket and whispered softly:
" "
Unaware of anything, Chelsea dreamed of her childhood days once more that night.

•Chelsea:
The songstress of Bar Masquerade. She harbors a secret unrequited love for Lewis.
•Lewis:
A bartender at Bar Masquerade. Always buried in work, he never reveals his true self.
