Courtyard
Deuce: Right leg forward! Left leg forward! Right! Left! Right!
Deuce: Raise your right arm! Make a twirl…and finally bend at the hip!
Deuce:*gasping for breath*
Deuce: How was it, Asim-senpai, Viper-senpai!
Jamil: That was terrible.
Deuce: Ehh… I thought I’d nail the “Starsending” dance this time for sure…
Grim: You’re just flailing around and it’s an eyesore! I thought you were trying to stomp out ants or something!
Jamil: You just suddenly showed up and begged us to teach you how to dance for the ‘Starsending’ event with such intensity, I had no idea what to expect but… you’re definitely not ready to perform in front of people, anyways.
Kamil: But at least I could really sense your passion!
Jamil: Maybe a little too much passion. There wasn’t an ounce of elegance to be found.
Octanivelle students: Hey it’s one of the Stargazers!
Deuce: Eh?
Octavinelle student A: “I will dance so that our wishes can reach the stars!” …aren’t he embarrassed to be doing something like this at his age?
Octavinelle student B: Right? Even preschoolers know that this whole 'Starsending’ business is a load of bull.
Octanivelle student A: And look at the outfit they have to wear for the event… pfft. It’s just all over the place and looks so uncool. He’s so into it that its actually kinda painful to look at!
Octanivelle student B: Oi oi he’s gonna hear you… bwahaha!
Deuce: Hey you! You’re clearly mouthing off as loud as you can!
Octanivelle student A: Huh? Deuce, was it? You trying to pick a fight with us?
Deuce: I don’t really care what you say about me… but I can’t turn a blind eye at you making fun of Clover-senpai!
Octavinelle student A and B: Eh!?
Trey: Hahaha…. thanks for going ahead and introducing me, Deuce.
Trey:Just when I was able to diminish my presence too…
Octavinelle student B: It’s the vice-head of Heartslabyul! I didn’t even notice, he was obscured by that pillar…
Octavinelle student A: We weren’t really talking about you! We were just messing with Deuce so…
Octavinelle student B: ….S-Sorry to bother you!!!
*both run away*
Deuce: Tch, they ran away…
Deuce: What the hell did they find so uncool. They’re the ones who were making low blows here.
Trey: Well, I don’t condone picking fights but, I could see where they’re coming from.
Trey: Dancing in these starry clothes is, well, its kind of embarrassing. That’s why I didn’t want anyone to spot me…
Deuce: Why do you find it embarrassing? I think the clothes really suit you Clover-senpai!
Trey: It’s not a matter of whether it suits me or not…
Trey: I guess I find it awkward to take this fairy-tale dance so seriously at our age…it just feels a bit childish.
Deuce: 'Starsending’ is just one of the many amazing events held at Night Raven College right?
Deuce: What’s so wrong about taking this seriously?
Jamil: I suppose he’s not the type to believe that putting in one’s best effort is embarrassing.
Trey: Being so straightforward is just like him, he’s cute like that, isn’t he?
Kalim: Definitely! He reminds me of a little brother of mine!
Deuce: W-what’s going on, why are the senpais looking this way and smiling at me??
Grim: Straightforward? More like too dumb to think too much!
Deuce: I don’t wanna hear that from you!!
Deuce: Everyone’s just making a fool out of me… Mc, you understand how I feel right!?
(Option 1)
Mc: > I mean, it is kind of embarrassing…
Deuce: N-no way, that’s what you were thinking this whole time…?
(Option 2)
Mc: > Yeah!! I’m with you Deuce!
Deuce: Right!? I knew you’d have my back!
Deuce: Anyways, I have a duty as a 'Stargazer’, I will definitely perfect this dance!
Deuce: Please continue to give me you guidance, senpais!
———————————————————————————————————–
That’s it for part 1! Deuce is just so sweet and precious, I’m so glad his senpais understand lmao. I wanted to kick those mob where it hurts for making fun of him though!
So happy he came home, he’s just so pretty! And that smile!! The cutest…
The next parts will only be available after the event is done, that is, 9/14 so that’s a bit of a long wait!
I hope you enjoyed my translations! Have fun playing the event!
Edit:
Part 2
Part 3
Floyd’s wish
Octanivelle Dorm - Floyd’s room
Floyd: My wish is~ “To get a new pair of shoes.”
Ortho: Floyd Leech-san, I’ve seen you eyeing a catalogue for shoes earlier too, you must really love them!
Idia: If you want them so bad, can’t you like, just go out and buy them…? Why do you need to wish for it…
Floyd: Ye don’t get it do ya firefly squid-senpai. I’m wishin’ for it because I can’t get my hands on ‘em.
Floyd: I’ll show it to ya on my phone.
Floyd: Look at 'em, they’re the simple lace-up types but the tips look so cool right?
Ortho: Wow..! The black with a tinge of blue gives it a really classy look!
Floyd: Riiight~? Clione-chan’s got a good eye!
Floyd: The artisan hand-dyes 'em one by one per order. An’ I’d like to get an exclusive one for myself see?
Idia: Hoho, I see… they’re made original like those plastic models and coated huh…
Idia: -wait a second!
Idia: The brand name glaring back at me from the screen, it’s [Tenable]! That’s a super luxury brand for shoes that even a slob like me is aware of!
Idia: That means….the price would be….wh-360k madol!?
Ortho: Wow that’s a really pricey pair!
Floyd: That’s why I said it ain’t easy to get otherwise.
Floyd: Ye see, my feet’ve grown bigger from last year so, I’m prolly gonna have to make some adjustments done on the wooden mould too…
Idia: Wooden mould!? You mean the shape and the painting are all done from scratch each time!?
Ortho: Brother, from my quick search it seems that shoes are not made from 'scratch’ but are rather 'bespoke’.
Idia: I’m really straining to understand here - why would a highschooler even need such an expensive pair for?
Floyd: See~ Before coming up on land, my old man said…
Floyd: “A man who doesn’t pay attention to the little details will be looked down upon. If you’re gonna go up on land, then make sure to pay good attention on what you wear, especially on those feet. Spare no expenses.”
Idia: Eh that’s kinda scary. Just what kind of man is your father…
Floyd: You wanna hear it? Well-
Idia: Um, no, it’s ok, I don’t need to hear it.
Idia: I can’t help but get a bad feeling that if I dig any deeper I’d just be ensnared by the darkness, no thanks.
Ortho: Should I fashion some parts to look like leather shoes so I won’t be looked down upon too?
Idia: Um, no, I think you’re good for now Ortho. This one is just a special case is all…
Jade’s wish
Octanivelle Dorm - Jade’s room
Jade: A wish I’d like fulfilled, is it…
Jade: Hmm…Now this is a problem. I’m unable to come up with one.
Ortho: Ehh!? What do we do now? At this rate we can’t continue gathering all the wishing stars!
Idia: You can’t be serious about not having any.
Idia: You’re the right hand man of Octanivelle’s dorm head, Azul-dono, who is essentially the personification of greed!
Idia: How could it even be possible that you don’t have a single wish?
Jade: My my, you seem to distrust us quite a bit.
Idia: I-It’s fine even if its a throwaway wish, just make one or we’ll all be in trouble…
Idia: L-like, wishing for Azul-dono or Floyd-dono to stop making trouble, or something…
Jade: Fufu, but they’re perfect as they are precisely because they’re so unpredictable.
Jade: -That’s it! I know what I want to do now.
Jade: I will just dedicate my wish to Azul and Floyd. To thank them for everything…
Jade: I wish “for both of their wishes to come true.”
Ortho: To use your wish for the sake of someone else’s happiness is a wonderful deed, Jade Leech-san
Idia: T-This reeks of lies! You get first place in making a wish that doesn’t have an ounce of sincerity(according to myself)
Jade: I’d never! These are my true and unblemished feelings!
Jade: And yet despite that, you still refuse to believe me… I’m quite heartbroken… *sniffle*
Ortho: Oh no! Please don’t cry Jade Leech-san!
Ortho: Brother, you must not bully your juniors! Apologize right now!
Idia:(Oh geez his crocodile tears are sure effective…)
Idia: Fine, FINE, I’m so sorry about that, I believe you now. Or rather, it never mattered whether it was true or not.
Jade: I’m glad you changed your mind, fufufu… Well then, I leave this wishing star in your hands.
Ortho: Thank you Jade Leech-san! I hope your wish comes true!
Leona’s Wish
Savanaclaw Dorm - Leona’s room
Leona:*softly snoring*
Ortho: Leona Kingscholar seems to be having his afternoon nap at the moment.
Idia: Welp, looks like its impossible to get a wish out of him. Let’s roll out!
Ortho: Wait, brother! We should try to wake him up first.
Leona: Tch, keep it down will ya…
Leona: …Huh, I was wondering what was buzzing around my bedside, its the radish sprout and his little brother.
Idia: Wait, did you just call me a radish sprout!?
Leona: It fits perfectly for a shut-in who grew up all spindly while living in the shade right?
Leona: Whatever, you better have a good reason for waking me up just now.
Idia: Eep! Please don’t glare at us like that, we’re just here to collect the wishing stars…
Leona: The hell? You telling me you interrupted my nap for this?
Leona: Ugh, why do I have to bother with shit like this…
Leona: My wish is…“To eat a lotta meat.”
Ortho: Eh!? Leona Kingscholar-san, are you perhaps…not getting enough to eat?
Ortho: Then, were you also sleeping because you weren’t feeling well?
Leona: …Yeah, that’s right. Been feeling terribly ill lately.
Leona: But I can just sleep it off so, hurry up and get the hell out of here.
Ortho: Oh but I don’t sense any abnormalities in your vitals, could it be a new strain of disease?
Ortho: I have been equipped with cutting edge medical technology so, I could take a look at you and see if there’s anything that needs fixing!
Idia: O-Ortho! Let’s just leave for now…
Idia: Leona-dono probably just made a wish on the fly just so we’d leave him alone.
Ortho: Oh, was that all? It’s a relief to know that he is not seriously ill then.
Leona: …Oi, radish sprout. Your brother ain’t nothing like you is he.
Idia: T-that’s right.
Idia: Unlike me, Ortho is honest and bright, and doesn’t shy away from people. This Ortho has inherited that personality as well…
Leona: Ahh whatever, I didn’t tell you to spill your life story, just get out of here already.
Idia: So mean!!
Sebek’s wish
Diasomnia dorm - Sebek’s room
Sebek: Hah! I have but one wish!
Sebek: “I want the world to bow down before the might of the young master!”
Idia: Hey Ortho, what’s this guy’s name again, uh, Sebek-dono, was it?
Idia: Anyways, telling “the world” to bow down and stuff… isn’t that kinda cringy, it’s like he’s still in middle school or something.
Idia: Even the flunkies of a Last Boss wouldn’t even say shit like this nowadays, it’s embarrassing.
Ortho: I don’t plan to deny your words brother, but he looks like he’s enjoying himself so, isn’t it alright?
Sebek: Who is this…“Last Boss” that you speak of? Do you mean to say that there is someone mightier than my lord Malleus-sama?
Ortho: I understand now, the young master you were referring to was in fact Malleus Draconia-san.
Ortho: A ‘Last Boss’ is a strong entity who makes an appearance in the last stages of a game.
Ortho: They are fundamentally fictional, so I do not know if there is a way to compute a comparison between them.
Sebek: Hmph, so it is not even worth considering then. As expected, the young master is the greatest of them all!
Idia: ………Oh? Is that so? Hmmmm….I see, I see…..
Idia: “The greatest” huh…that is quite the audacious claim you’re making.
Sebek: …What is with that tone, do you have any objections to voice?
Idia: Well, I’m not really trying to deny anything, but see, the Last Boss is someone who causes a LOT of suffering to the player. If such a person was real, I wonder if things would really work out the way you want it?
Sebek: Do you DARE to say that there’s even a sliver of chance the young master could ever lose!? THE AUDACITY!!!
Ortho: (Brother seems to be pulling Sebek Zigvolt-san around by the nose… The response from earlier must have rubbed him the wrong way.)
Ortho: (He had a really hard time beating the last boss of the game he was playing yesterday after all…)
Ortho: However, he seems to be getting carried away like a middle schooler himself.
Ortho: I think it’s a good thing that he’s getting along with someone other than myself so, I’ll just let them continue their fun!
Malleus’ wish
Diasomnia Dorm - Malleus’ room
Malleus: My wish is… “For Gaogao Dracon-kun to be able to make new friends.”
Idia: Pfft! I’d have never expected the name of such a retro pet simulation game come out of the great Malleus-dono’s mouth!
Ortho: I have never heard of it myself.
Ortho:[Initiating online search engine: “Gaogao Dracon-kun”]
Ortho: Found it. It’s a toy that lets you take care of a dragon that you’ve hatched, in a dedicated portable console.
Idia: Yep, it’s a cheap little LCD game attached to a keychain.
Idia: This used to be all the rage when I was younger…
Idia: -And you’re playing with it even now, Malleus-dono?
Malleus: Yes. Long ago, Lilia had procured it as a souvenir when he had traveled to foreign lands.
Idia: (Pfft! One of the world’s top class mages and heir to the throne of the Valley of Thorns… is so crazy about this little kiddie toy? That cracks me up lololol)
Malleus: Just recently, I have learned of a communication function that would allow Dracon-kun to connect to others and make friends…
Malleus: However, it will not function unless there is another such as my Dracon-kun present.
Ortho: The likelihood of anyone around Malleus Draconia-san who would have the same game is…
Malleus: There is none.
Idia: Figured. It’s been over like, 10 years since it was popular and I’m pretty sure they don’t even make this stuff anymore.
Malleus: As I feared, it was not enough to simply wish for Dracon-kun to have more friends, was it…
Idia: Why’re you looking like someone who’s been checkmated…
Idia: I mean, c'mon, this thing was so popular almost every kid on the block had one. Shouldn’t be too hard to dig one up.
Idia: Ortho, look up all online market sites and specialty electronic stores and see if they’re selling this thing. Ah, it’s fine even if its used, just make sure its operational.
Ortho: Understood.
Idia: As a collector I’d normally prefer it in mint condition but in this case, there’s no point if it doesn’t even work.
Idia: There are cases where the electronic toy actually deteriorates faster if you never let it out and get some air.
Malleus: …I have not a clue of what you are saying, however you seem quite talkative today.
Ortho: [148 hits, now displaying the search results]
Idia: Fuhihi!! There you have it, there’s about 148 ‘Gaogao Dracon-kun’ in working condition!
Malleus: Is that true?
Malleus: I am not certain on the ways of procuring goods online, but I can pay for it. Would you be willing to order it in my stead?
Idia: Oh, uh, alright then… and done. It should drop by in a couple of days.
Malleus: …You have my thanks. You have done well today, Shroud.
Malleus: When it arrives, I will be sure to reward you handsomely.
Ortho: I think it’s amazing that you could fulfill Malleus Draconia’s wish so quickly, brother!
Idia: I-I don’t care about being praised for doing something as simple as this…
Azul’s wish
Octavinelle dorm - Azul’s room
Azul: My wish is… “For Mostro Lounge to prosper even more.”
Idia: That sounds exactly like something you’d wish for but on the other hand that makes it incredibly boring.
Ortho: Brother! Your true thoughts are coming out unbidden.
Azul: Hmph, what he says matters not.
Azul: After all, I’ve taken all the necessary preparations for this wish to come true!
Ortho: Preparations? This is the first time I’ve met someone who’s claimed such a thing.
Ortho: What exactly has Azul Ashengrotto-san prepared?
Azul: To be precise, we are holding a business collaboration with the Top 3 popular menus of Mostro Lounge!
Idia: Eh? …You mean like one of those anime collab cafes?
Azul: Quite right. The cafe that does its business in “that” famous training facility for magical students, Night Raven College…
Azul: Just spread the word a bit and they’ll take the bait.
Azul: As a matter of fact, we’ve already gotten a business offer, our plans are proceeding quite smoothly.
Azul: If this collaboration project continues to sail smoothly, opening a 2nd, even a 3rd branch, won’t be a far off dream after all.
Azul: However… our dear principal had caught wind of the news, and had something to say about it.
Azul: “If you are to use the special brand name of Night Raven College for your advertising… the school has the rights to receive royalties.”
Azul: Good grief, that man’s avarice knows no bounds.
Idia: I think you’re the last person who should be saying that.
Ortho: Hey, brother…
Ortho: Azul Ashengrotto-san’s wish isn’t actually a wish, but rather just a goal isn’t it?
Idia: You got it. Now that I think about it, Azul-dono has always hated relying on luck in any boardgame club activities.
Azul: Fufufu, I will fulfill this wish perfectly!!
Idia: Uhh, Azul-dono.
Idia: Hate to burst your bubble but, I don’t think that’s how this event works.
Lilia’s wish
Diasomnia dorm: Lilia’s room
Lilia: My wish is… “For humans and fae, and all the other races, to live together in peace and harmony.”
Trey: Haha, now that is quite the grand wish you’ve made… on a different scale, really.
Lilia: It is not a simple feat to smile and get along with fellow peers of the same species, and far less so if you were to mix in others.
Lilia: In your history books, have you not seen how many times we have sparked one war after the other, only because we could not meet the other halfway?
Lilia: I simply do not want history to repeat itself.
Lilia: That is why, I wish for the same every time we hold this event to send off stars.
Trey: I see… I understand how you feel now.
Trey: To be honest though, considering how… unpredictable you are normally, it’s kind of hard to believe you’d wish for something like this.
Lilia: How terribly rude~~! This is a pure and sweet wish that perfectly suits one so lovely as I!
Trey: Lilia, I’ve been meaning to say this for a while but, isn’t it kind of pointless for you to say that yourself?
Lilia: Trey, such skepticism is unfit for one of your age! Look into these eyes, do they look like they belong to someone who would lie to you?
Trey: W-well, they’re certainly big and round…
Lilia: Quite so! They are big, and darling, and shine like a jewel, an innocent pair of eyes, are they not?
Trey: Wait, I wouldn’t go that far-
Lilia: And there you have it. I wish for all the life that is reflected in these eyes, to live in peace and harmony, from the bottom of my heart.
Trey: Alright alright, I’ll believe you! As always its hard to see into your depths.
Rook’s wish
Pomefiore Dorm - Rook’s room
Rook: My wish is… “To witness all the beauty that this world has to offer with my own eyes”
Trey: Well, I did expect this… you never change huh, Rook.
Trey: You’re in Pomefiore, and you’re always by Vil’s side.
Trey: Aren’t you always surrounded by beauty, and you say you still want more?
Rook: Why of course, Trey-kun. I am quite the greedy man, after all.
Rook: I want to experience all the beauty in this world, I want to know its true essence…
Rook:To illustrate, such as the unpolished gemstone that shines like a fresh coating of winter snow…
Rook:Like the grand tower that stands against all odds, weathering the passage of time…
Trey: Aah… could it be that I just added fuel to the fire when I asked that question…
Trey: He never listens to people when he gets like this… Oii, Rook, snap out of it!
Rook: My word… I was just imagining all the beauty I have yet to lay my eyes on and… très bien!
Rook: I am so overwhelmed by joy that I can quite literally feel my heart singing!
Trey: Yep, he’s not listening at all.
Trey: Rook, I’m sorry for asking whether you had your fill of beauty, because you clearly haven’t. I hear it loud and clear.
Rook: To be able to understand me with such a short explanation…
Rook: As expected of the one I share my youth with in the same club, my friend, Chevalier(Knight of Roses).
Trey: I’ve been telling you to quit it with that embarrassing nickname…
Trey: in the first place, you never used to call me that back when we were 1st years.
(Note: As of writing this, the text box shows Rook’s name but its actually Trey speaking in this line)
Rook: Well isn’t that obvious? To be a Knight, you would need a King to whom you could pledge your servitude.
Trey: Good grief, from your sensibilities to your wishes, you’re quite the unique character aren’t you…
Vil’s wish
Pomefiore Dorm - Vil’s room
Vil: My wish… I don’t have any.
Grim and Trey: Eh!?
Trey: No really, not even one?
Trey: I mean, its common to have a wish or two right? Like the students who hear a rumor and make a wish at the courtyard’s well, stuff like that.
Trey: It’s alright to make a light wish like that-
Vil: -Now listen here, Trey.
Vil: I do not like it when people waste their time believing such nonsensical stories.
Trey: Err…alright then…?
Vil: Hoping for a miracle to happen, without putting in any hard work for it… they don’t deserve any salvation.
Vil: I can fulfill my own wishes, as such, I have no wishes to entrust the stars. That is all.
Trey: I didn’t think Vil would be so vehemently against making a wish… this is a tough one.
Grim: If the dorm leader takes such a stance, then the others in your dorm would be too scared to make a wish!
Trey: That’s right, us Stargazers won’t be able to do our jobs and continue with the event then.
Trey: So could you consider helping us out and make a small wish?
Trey: For instance, wishing for a new lipstick…
Grim: Or wish for some tuna to be served for tomorrow’s breakfast…
Mc:>Wish to become more prettier…
>Wish to meet someone…
Vil: …sigh. Stop sounding so pitiful, you’re trying to make me out to be the bad person here.
Vil: Fine then, I’ll cooperate. Let’s see…
Vil: My wish is… “For you three to stop bothering me.”
Trey and Grim: !!!
Vil: Of course, you’re going to make it happen right now, aren’t you?
Grim: What the-! It’s not like we’re going around and collecting all these wishing stars because we want to! You’re just being mean!
Trey: Grim, going after Vil is only going to get you a world of pain so drop it. We got what we needed so let’s move on to the next one.
Trey: …That said, he hates dependancy on wishes, huh… Well, I suppose that’s just like him.
Scarabia Dorm - Jamil’s room
Jamil: My wish is… “To travel by myself someday”
Grim: That’s a really plain wish.
Jamil: So sorry its not up to your standards. But what does it say about you when you’re asking for people’s wishes and then complaining about it?
Trey: I think its a fine wish though.
Grim: Ehhh really~? I don’t get it at all.
Trey: When you live in a dorm, its pretty hard to get any alone time.
Trey: Sure, its good to have fun with your mates and fool around but, once in a while you’ll wish for some peace and quiet.
Trey: That’s how it is, isn’t it, Jamil?
Jamil: As expected of Trey-senpai, thank you for understanding my feelings.
Jamil: You explained it so easily though, does that mean you feel the same way?
Trey: Haha, I guess you could say that…
Mc: >By the way, is there any place you’d like to go?
>What would you do if you could travel alone?
Jamil: Where would I go, huh… Well, anywhere would be fine, really.
Jamil: Hmm…Now that I think about it, I’ve actually never come up with a proper plan before.
Jamil: Just once, I’d like to go somewhere far away, somewhere no one knows who I am, and just take it easy…
Jamil: Well, I suppose this would be difficult to act on before I graduate.
Jamil: I should probably get my hands on a travel magazine and do some research in preparation for when my wish comes true.
Trey: That’s good. I pray that your simple wish may come true.
Ruggie’s wish
Savanaclaw dorm - Ruggie’s room
Ruggie: My wish is… “To land a job that has a good pay”
Trey: Ohh, I’m surprised you’re already thinking about the future.
Trey: Most of the students so far were wishing for stuff they could eat or buy
Ruggie: Them folks are satisfied if they’re happy ‘for now’ right?
Trey: And you mean to say you’re different?
Ruggie: I’m not that easily satisfied, I’m thinking far ahead and I need stability in the future just as I do now.
Ruggie: Even if we got through today, it won’t matter if we’re just to suffer tomorrow right?
Ruggie: But landing a spot where the pay is good is definitely gonna come with its challenges.
Ruggie: There’re places that give ye a hard test to crack on top of holding interviews, I’m a lil worried if I can make it through 'em…
Trey: I see. But I think you’d be pretty good at interviews though.
Trey: I’ve never seen you freeze up when talking to someone before.
Ruggie: Well I suppose I’ve got some confidence on that front.
Ruggie: After all, that whole buncha part-time jobs I’ve worked had to have been good for somethin’ right?
Ruggie: As long as I can snag the job, I could find a big shot like Leona and write my way into his good books and then…
Ruggie: I figure I can have the good and easy life then.
Trey: Haha… Well, I suppose its good that you’re keeping an eye on your future, past graduation even.
Trey: I hope your wish comes true.
Ace’s Wish
Heartslabyul Dorm - Ace’s room
Ace: A wish, huh… I don’t really have anything special that I wanna wish for.
Trey: You don’t have to think too hard about it you know? You can just give a light answer like you normally do.
Grim: What he said.
Grim: I doubt you’d have a wish as grand as mine so, you can just say whatever.
Ace: Well aren’t you being all high and mighty…ah.
Ace: Trey-senpai, I’ve decided on my wish.
Trey: Alright then, let’s hear it.
Ace: My wish is… “For Grim to stop causing trouble wherever he goes!”
Grim: Wha-!?
Trey: Haha, that’s quite an interesting wish you’ve made!
Ace: Think about it, isn’t Grim just causing problems for us all the time?
Ace: If this wish is granted, I’m sure 1-A can have some peace and quite, don’t ya think?
Grim: When exactly have I caused trouble!?
Mc:>Maybe its that time you kind of scorched the statues of the Great Seven?
>How about that time you broke a chandelier?
Grim: T-that’s not just my fault! Ace had a hand in that too!
Trey: Hey now don’t get into a fight. We’ve collected the wish so we should probably get a move on.
Ace: See~ Trey-senpai says so, you should get off my back and wrap this up quickly yeah?
Grim: Dammit!! This is so frustrating!!
Riddle’s Wish
Heartslabyul Dorm - Riddle’s room
Riddle: My wish is… “For Heartslabyul to score an overall higher average than any other dorm in the next periodic test”
Trey: Ahh, we didn’t get past Octanivelle nor Scarabia for the last mid-term tests did we…
Trey: But “For Heartslabyul”… shouldn’t you be wishing for your own grades first?
Riddle: Its the right thing to do as the dorm head. And its not like I need to wish on stars at this point.
Riddle: My grades could never be anything less than the best of course.
Trey: Right. That was a stupid question, sorry about that, dorm head.
Riddle: As long as you understand.
Riddle: However, I do not think its likely that our students will get better grades simply because I wished for it.
Riddle: I have a much more realistic plan in mind to bring this wish to fruition.
Trey: A realistic plan? …Just for reference, what exactly do you have in mind?
Riddle: It’s quite simple. I will gather the students who’s score bring down our average by quite a considerable amount, and hold a study session with them.
Riddle: …However, they will not be allowed to take a single step outside the dorm until they can achieve a perfect score on my specially prepared mock tests.
Trey: !?
Riddle: I will make sure that Heartslabyul takes first place next time!
Trey: I-I see…
Trey: (For the sake of the students, here’s hoping our dorm head’s wish actually comes true…)
Silver’s Wish
Diasomnia dorm - Silver’s room
Silver: My wish is… “For my father to live a long life”
Deuce: Eh, Silver-san, is your father not feeling well?
Silver: No, its nothing like that.
Silver: In fact, for the last few years, his daily work-out routine involves doing sit-ups by hanging over the bed canopy.
Deuce: Wow he sounds super spritely!? Then why would you make such a wish?
Silver: Even if he seems fine, he’s actually quite up there in the years…probably.
Deuce: Probably…?
Silver: He’s the type that looks a lot younger than you would assume for his age.
Silver: He would always dance around the question, so I don’t know his actual age.
Silver: My father, he… raised me all by himself. I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it weren’t for him.
Silver: I want him to be happy, forever and always… that, is my wish.
Silver: I have never really done anything for him as a son, you see.
Silver: Of course, I’m not going to leave all the hard work to the stars, I plan on making due with all that I am capable of.
Deuce: Silver-senpai… I understand your feelings well!
Deuce: My mother had to raise me all by herself as well… All I’ve done is cause all sorts of trouble for her…
Deuce: I want her to take it easy from now on, and want her to live a long life too.
Silver: I see, so you feel the same way as well…
Deuce: Ah, I feel kind of bad now…
Deuce: As a Stargazer, its my role to listen to other’s wishes but, here you are listening to mine…
Silver: …It’s alright. Here’s hoping both of our wishes come true.
Deuce: Yes!! I’ll make sure your wishing star is displayed on the Great Tree!

[SPOILER WARNING FOR HIS GROOVY ART AT THE END OF THE POST!]
Vil: Alright then, onto the next question.
Vil: “If you could choose to be in any dorm other than Heartslabyul, which one would you pick?”
Ace: Obviously it’s gotta be Scarabia!
Vil: Another prompt answer, it’s actually quite refreshing. Would you have been better off in Scarabia in the first place?
Ace: Mmm…. I don’t mean it like that, but…
Ace: Think about it, our Dorm has way too many complicated rules, and if I break even one of them, the result is pretty scary…
Ace: That’s why, I think it would be cool to be in a dorm that’s a lot more laidback, y’know?
Ace: First, there’s Savanaclaw, which is way too focused on sports and athleticism, way too cramped for my style.
Ace: Then there’s Octanivelle and Ignihyde… I just feel like I wouldn’t vibe with the students there…
Ace: Diasomnia is a hard no. It’s kinda scary, and moreover, and imagining dealing with Sebek on a daily basis sounds like a pain in the neck with how noisy he’d be.
Ace: So that leaves me with Scarabia and Pomefiore…
Vil: Well, you certainly have the potential to shine with some help, Ace.
Ace: That’s exactly the problem!
Ace: I think you’re just as strict as our own Dorm Head, so that’d make switching dorms a moot point!
Ace: Compared to that, I think Kalim-senpai is a lot more easygoing, he’d probably just let me off with a smile even if I made some mistakes here and there.
Ace: Jamil-senpai does get on my case sometimes during club activities, but it’s nowhere near as bad as having to deal with my head nearly rolling off!
Vil: I’m astounded. How about you try to fix your attitude towards life first?
Ace: I think I’m working plenty hard already! You can blame the environment that expects too much first~
Ace: Also, from what I hear, Scarabia is always hosting feasts on the fly right?
Ace: A classmate of mine from Scarabia is always going on and on about how amazing their food is.
Ace: They even had some large scale magic shows too… not fair, I want in on that!
Ace: I wouldn’t say I want to experience that all the time but, spending a few days at their dorm doesn’t sound like such a bad idea…
Vil: Oh, just a few days?
Vil: Despite your passionate complaints about your dorm’s rules, not once have you tried transferring from there, isn’t that right?
Ace: Ahh…well, y’know…. the great Mirror chose Heartslabyul for me, it’s the dorm that matches my soul the closest, right?
Ace: And well, I get along just fine with my roommates and senpais, so there isn’t really a reason for me to go somewhere else…
Vil: Hmmm….. Well, let’s leave it at that.
Ace: Wha- What’s with that smirk! We’re getting off track, this conversation is done!!
————————————————————————————
Ace: The interview is done now right?
Vil: Indeed, now we’re moving on to the main event.
Vil: Ace, have you made sure to tuck away my gift well and proper?
Ace: Yes~ ….Sigh, it’s well and fun to watch from the sidelines, but being the one done in isn’t all that great….
Vil: Quit your complaining. Just accept my “Gift of Fortune” like a good boy.
Ace: Aaaaah! Alright! I get it! Let’s just get this over with!
Vil: Good. Ace Trappola…. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Heartslabyul Dorm: Party venue
Vil: Well then, let’s start with the interview.
Ace:Okaaay~
Vil: “Out of the Nightraven College students, who would you pick to be your brother?”
Vil: However, you cannot pick someone from the same dorm as you. Let’s hear it.
Ace: An older brother huh… I’d pick Azul-senpai!
Vil: …Azul? That’s not a name I expected would come out of your mouth with no hesitation.
Ace: ‘That so? Well, if I could’ve picked someone from my dorm, I’d probably pick Cater-senpai, since he’s so easy to get along with…
Ace: Azul-senpai is really smart and cunning right? I think he’d be someone awesome to have on my side.
Vil: Do you think he’d be that soft? I’m sure he’d expect profits from his own family as well.
Ace: Hmm~ …..But if I were his little brother, I’m sure he’d at least teach me for free!
Ace: I mean, if his little brother wasn’t accomplished, it’d probably be bad for his business, right?
Vil: …Well, you do have a point there. If you’re likely to become a liability, then he might act differently than he normally would.
Ace: Right~? And with how he’s running the Mostro Lounge and all, he’s got great business acumen too!
Ace: I’m sure he’s earning a lot already~
Ace: I’m sure if I was his little brother, I’d be swimming in extravagant gifts!
Ace: Y’know like, some branded watches, or limited edition sneakers…
Ace: Ah but, I do like wearing street fashion so, we might clash on fashion tastes.
Ace: Maybe every birthday he’d say something like “You can buy whatever you want today.”
Vil: At this point you’re treating him like a walking wallet.
Ace: I mean, Azul-senpai does seem like he’d be living the good life in the future too right?
Ace: I’d bet he’d be successful if he decided to start another business venture in the food industry after graduating.
Ace: I don’t really have any goals or dreams of my own so, if I could make it big through the power of connections alone, that’d be great thanks.
Vil: I think your fantasies have been weirdly specific so far. Is your own brother similar to Azul?
Ace: Nope, not at all. He’s a pretty easygoing and frivolous guy if you ask me. But, there’s been plenty of times I was glad to have him around too.
Ace: After all, he’s experience school and work life ahead of me and teaches me the ropes!
Vil: I see now. The way you grasp things easily is because you grew up watching your brother do it first.
Ace: Well, it’s not like I learned each and every thing from him… but well, I’m still pretty grateful for him.
Ace: After all, to carry yourself well, information is key.
Happy Birthday!
Heartslabyul Dorm: Party Venue
Ace: The Presenter chosen by the Magical Birthday Dice will bring you good luck huh…
Ace:It’s like we’re greeting the day by testing our luck on our birthdays… Well, if we’re gonna get something, then you’d want something good right?
Ace: I wonder who’s it gonna be… It’d be real nice if it was Kalim-senpai, he seems like the type to lavish someone with extravagant gifts!
???: Sorry to disappoint, but it’s not Kalim.
Vil: Vil Schoenheit, your Presenter for the day.
Ace:Vil-senpai!!
Ace: Hey I’m lucky after all! I’m sure you’ve picked out something great!
Ace: I’m so stoked! What’ve you got for me?
Vil: Someone sure is excited…
Vil: Happy Birthday, Ace. Here’s your present from me.
Ace: Thank you so much Vil-senpai~~ I’m gonna go ahead and open it now!
Ace:Eh!?
Ace: No way, the logo on this box… isn’t this a really high class brand!?
Ace: And inside…. it’s a pair of sunglasses!
Ace: It’s got a golden frame, and the lens are tinted brown… it’s so cool that it gives off a mature vibe!
Ace: I’m so pumped! I’m seriously so glad that Vil-senpai was the one chosen to be my Presenter!!
Vil: That is an appropriate reaction. It was quite difficult to prepare the perfect gift within the budget.
Ace:Dang, I’m way too happy right now… I mean, seriously though, how did you manage to get your hands on something like this within the budget?
Ace: No matter how you look at it, this thing is brand new… and it’s shape is fashioned after the latest trends too…
Vil: Well, you certainly have a good eye. In fact, I had a magazine shoot to attend the day after I was selected to be your Presenter.
Vil: They had brought these sunglasses for the shoot to promote their brand for the next season.
Vil: The moment I laid my eyes on it, I knew it would suit you perfectly. I managed to get it at the price of a sample, so it was still within the budget.
Vil: Not only will it look good with your outfit today, you can coordinate it with your regular outfits as well.
Ace: Coordinate…. ahhh, but you know~
Ace: The hurdle may be just a bit too high for me… maybe if I had some help from the great and fashionable Vil-senpai…. Just kidding…
Vil: Well, it is your birthday today… Fine, I shall teach you the basics myself.
Ace: As expected of Vil-senpai! Lemme just brag about this on Magicame~
Vil: In that case, lend me your phone. If you’re going to talk about it on Magicame, then you need a good photo to go with it.
Ace: Pleeeease and thank you~
Ace: Ah, Vil-senpai, you were on a magazine cover recently wearing sunglasses right? How was the pose again, something like this?
Vil: Not at all. Push out your chin, and look straight. Then, tip the sunglasses a little further down…
Ace: How about now? Looking good?
Vil: I’ll give it a passing grade. Now hold that pose, make sure you don’t move…
Continuing from where he left off last episode, Leona says that Charon’s role is to ferry the ‘lost’ souls to the Isle of Lamentation, which is where the name ‘Ferry Guard’ comes from.
Usually, when an overblot happens, Magical Force corps, or Magic Riot Police are sent to deal with the situation, but sometimes it can still get out of hand. That’s where S.T.Y.X. comes into play. They intervene as specialists in blot research, regardless of whether the concerned parties actually call for them or not. Leona had probably seen them before after some kind of emergencies had taken place in the past.
Riddle asks what exactly is S.T.Y.X., and Leona says that they are a non-governmental organization, that belongs to no country. It’s known to do research on magic technology and blot, but the scale of the organization, motivations and members are all kept secret. The Isle of Lamentation, where the S.T.Y.X headquarters is at, is not even recorded on any map to date. Jamil says that it almost sounds like a forbidden area then.
Leona then says that, though Charon does indeed take in overblotted magic users, it’s usually only when they are in a state of no return. So Vil speaks up, saying that all of them present here were already freed from that ‘abominable’ state. They all received special counselling and care, and everything was found to be normal for their follow-ups as well. So why were they suddenly captured, in a violent manner?
Azul feels that the more he thinks about it, the more confused he gets; of course, this situation in absurd, but what exactly is the connection between Idia and this organization that has been secluded from the rest of the world?
Vil, guessing from Leona’s story, thinks that Idia may actually be in a special position to be able to contact S.T.Y.X…. because Idia’s family is at least as rich as, if not more, than Kalim’s family. At this, Riddle, Jamil and Azul react in shock. He further explains that, the Shroud family is one branch of the Jupiter Conglomerate, who struck a fortune in finding underwater oil fields and rare metals. They have a double take, again, when Azul tries to clarify, this is the same conglomerate that the Olympus Company, who holds the OS with the largest share in the world, as well as developed their own search engine, is affiliated with?
Riddle is still in shock, because yes, he did know that the Shroud family was a branch of the Jupiter conglomerate, but he only thought that Idia simply had the same family name by coincidence! Jamil also speaks quitely, thinking about how the Shroud family never revealed themselves in media, and were known as the ‘Shadow Commander’… Riddle could still hardly believe Idia is from such a family, with how he acts the way he does…
Azul feels dizzy now… because if he had known this earlier, he would’ve tried harder to bait Idia into his money-making schemes! Riddle and Jamil look at him exasperated, he really does never change…
Jamil thinks that it’s strange such a person would enter the school without a single helper- but suddenly realizes that is what the special permission for the existence of his ‘little brother’ to be on school grounds means.
Vil thinks that it wouldn’t be so strange for the family called the ‘Shadow Commander’ and this hidden organization to have some connections. Azul feels a little relieved, thinking that if Idia is involved, then maybe they could be released sooner. However, Leona is doubtful. They were captured as experimental ‘subjects’, so there’s no knowing what’s gonna happen to them. In one of the history books he read back at the palace, those captured by the Ferry Guards are never to return from the Isle of Lamentation. Everyone goes quiet at this, when the transportation shakes a bit. It seems they have landed somewhere.
The vessel soon opens, and bright light flows in, stunning them for a moment. They can then see a very high-tech looking corridor, and are soon greeted by none other than Idia Shroud, welcoming them to the dark, gloomy Isle of Lamentation, as the acting chief of S.T.Y.X.
Trein steps in here, saying he can explain about their identity. Lilia asks Trein what happened to Crowley, and Trein says that he was also taken away and detained just like the other students. Until his return, Trein is to be the acting Headmaster. Mc is shocked to hear that even Crowley was taken, and wonders what the heck is going on.
Moving on, S.T.Y.X. is a non-governmental organization that doesn’t belong to any country… They are a magic technology research institute, who have been researching about the blotting phenomenon since a long time ago.
Everyone is shocked to hear this bit of information, and Floyd seems to piece everything together. Kalim, still a little lost, asks what he meant. Jade then asks him to think about the members who were kidnapped - Cater is the one who notes them, saying Riddle, Leona, Azul, Jamil… it’s not just dorm heads, or else Jamil wouldn’t have been kidnapped, but if it was both dorm heads and vice-dorm heads, then Rook, who had been with Vil when he was kidnapped, would have been taken as well. Finally, Kalim pieces the information together, noting that the kidnapped members had all overblotted before. Ruggie then asks if Vil has also overblotted, and Kalim and Rook could only remain silent.
Trey then says that all of the overblotted students should have gotten the proper treatment, and recovered well. Why would they take them now? Malleus then says that ‘that person’ should know what’s going on. ‘That person’ being the Keeper of the Island of Lamentation. Rook has read of these figures in old history books, and asks Malleus if he is an acquaintance of the Keeper, who is said to have a mysterious and shady past. Malleus then retorts, is he half asleep? Because he should know this person as well. In fact, everyone in this room already know about them. But before the identity is revealed, the scene changes.
The screen is completely black, and there is no information about the location. Riddle is shown to wake up, startled, and is angry and confused, wanting to find the people who put him there. But Riddle finds he can’t move, and he can’t see since it’s completely dark as well. Soon Azul calls out to him, telling him to calm down. They’re trapped in a small room, so it would be better not to act out right now. Riddle recognizes his voice, and asks him how long he’s been out, and where are they? Vil says no one can answer about where they are, though Jamil says that it’s been 3 hours since they were put into this cramped transportation space. They can’t see outside at all, they can’t tell at what speed nor direction they’re moving in, but there’s no doubt they’re very far from the school now.
Riddle takes note of Vil’s and Jamil’s voice, that they’re here as well. Vil says that, along with Leona, it’s almost too easy to figure out why these exact members were taken. Riddle then tries to confirm that Leona was indeed there, when Leona replies, annoyed, that he’s been using Leona’s lap as a pillow for over 3 hours now. Riddle now understands what exactly this hard as rocks pillow was…. and immediately apologizes and moves away.
Now that everyone was awake, it was time to try and sort out the situation. Azul explains that he was taken during his club activities, and it seemed like Idia and the intruders already knew about each other. Leona says he doesn’t know the connection between the two, however, he knows about the ones who kidnapped them. He’s seen them long ago, at the royal palace in Afterglow Savannah. They’re Charon, a special operative from S.T.Y.X., who handle most of their ‘rough’ cases… their job is to capture any overblotted magic users and to transport them to the Isle of Lamentation. Everyone else looks shaken by this information, and the episode ends here.
The episode starts off in Diasomnia’s lounge, where Malleus senses a disturbance in the mirror. Soon after, Sebek and Silver rush into the room, worried about their Master, and are relieved to find him safe. Malleus tells them there’s nothing wrong on his side, in fact, the two of them look much worse off than he is. They inform him about being attacked on school grounds, and about Riddle getting kidnapped right in front of them, Sebek sounds very distressed as well. Since the intruders went straight for Riddle and no one else, they were worried that their targets might be the dorm heads, and hence why they rushed back to Diasomnia.
However, Lilia pops up, upside-down, to tell them that shouldn’t be the case. Malleus asks him if he knows the identity of these intruders, and Lilia responds that they are from the ‘Isle of Lamentation’. Malleus seems to understand what it means, and why they didn’t come after him as well. Lilia notes that the isle has changed a lot after all this time- and is cut off by a phone chime.
It’s a call from Kalim, who’s shouting into the phone, glad that they’re safe. He explains the situation quickly and tells them that everyone else has gathered in the headmaster’s office and they should head over asap. Silver tries to ask Lilia what exactly he meant by Isle of Lamentation, but Lilia says they’re in a rush so later~ and the two of them teleport to the office.
Over there, they’re greeted by Kalim, and we see other members from all the dorms as well: Trey, Cater, Ruggie, Jade, Floyd, Rook, and mc is there as well.
Lilia notes that everyone looks pretty shaken, and Trey replied that he was just going about his day, baking as usual, when he got the news that Riddle was kidnapped. And right after that he came to know that Ace and Deuce were injured and taken to the infirmary as well…. there’s no way he could be calm after hearing that. Cater adds that they’d headed to the place where Riddle was taken, but the fields were all scorched and messed up, just what exactly happened?
Ruggie is next to speak, aggravated by the whole situation as well. He tells them about how Leona surrendered himself, and told him that he was leaving Savanaclaw to him, all serious like, what is he supposed to make of this situation??
Jade notes that Azul was taken away during his club activities. The boardgame club members said that Idia and Ortho were taken along, all without resistance. Floyd says that Azul would’ve been the type to go on a rampage, so they’re curious to know what went down too.
Kalim says the NRC tribe were all having a discussion at Ramshackle Dorm when they were attacked. They tried to stave them off but unfortunately, Vil, Jamil and Grim were all taken away. Jade thinks there must be a reason Leona and Azul went without resistance, and Ruggie says that Leona seemed like he knew the identity of the intruders. Malleus then says that since Leona is part of a historic royal family, it wouldn’t be strange if he already knew who they were. Ruggie asks what he meant by that, and the episode ends here.
Azul is freaked out, and asks why Idia and Ortho are so calm about the situation. If the school is being attacked, they need to gather for some countermeasures-
He’s cut off by Ortho informing that 3 entities are heading their way and will make contact in 3, 2, 1… The guards, Squad Noi have crashed into the classroom, spotting Azul, ‘Subject C’. They also confirm sightings of idia Shroud and magical humanoid ORTHO.
Azul orders the first years to evacuate, and is about to launch a counterattack, when Idia stops him, saying it would be better if he didn’t resist and went along instead. He goes on to inform that they are a special magic ops force ‘Charon’ of S.T.Y.X.
Idia tells him to hand over his magical pen and to put his hands behind his head. Ortho also tells him to do as his brother recommended, as that course of action would give an 87% chance of Azul being uninjured. Azul decides to go along with it. After confirming that Azul has no intention to resist, they request him to follow them.
After a long sigh, Idia berates the guards, saying they’re being way too violent, they could probably get sued for it. They’re not dealing with ‘Phantoms’ this time, but people with senses. They should at least have a discussion first.
With a pause, the guard responds to Idia, saying that statements about the operation are prohibited. They proceed to inform Idia that he has also been requested to return to S.T.Y.X headquarters as well.
Idia doesn’t take it well, asking where his father and mother have gone off to. The guard says that disclosure of that information is prohibited as well. Idia gives in and agrees to go, telling Ortho to follow him as well, who cheerfully agrees. Azul is shocked at the turn of events, and asks Idia who is he, exactly…?
Idia says he’ll explain everything later, but for now the best strategy for this sudden event is to just ‘do nothing’. Idia lets out a big sigh, disappointed because he was supposed to be doing a ranking event for his favorite character today, this sucks.
Scene moves to the headmaster’s office, where the guards have broken in. Crowley and the other faculty members are present. The guards name themselves as the special ops Charon of S.T.Y.X, and the teachers seem shocked. The guards then request Crowley to accompany them. Crowley agrees, and asks them to not treat the students roughly. The guards inform them that they are given permission to take strict action if they are met with resistance. Crowley can then only hope no one was too hurt. He then leaves the rest to Trein, who is still confused. Crowley is soon taken away.
Trein is understandably confused, wondering what business S.T.Y.X had in NRC, but soon gathers himself as he tells the others that prioritizing the student’s safety comes first and request the other heads to be gathered.
Episode kicks off with Ruggie growling, saying that these intruders smell bad. Leona suddenly notices the mark on their armor and looks subdued. Not having noticed yet, Ruggie grandstands a bit, saying that the intruders must not care about their lives if they’re standing up against Leona. Ruggie says he’ll grab their attention so Leona could use his magic freely-
However, Leona surprises everyone there by saying that he would surrender without issue. Ruggie can’t believe what he’s hearing, and the intruders pause for a moment before telling him to hand over all his magic tools. Leona hands over his magical pen.
Ruggie asks him why the heck he isn’t fighting back, it’s just 3 people! Leona should be able to take them on easy! Leona tells him to quiet down, and that the intruders were wearing magic-proof plates under their vests. Ruggie is surprised to hear this; they’re using the same plates that official magical officers use in their uniforms? Leona smirks as he asks Ruggie if he’s been in their ‘care’ before, to know so much about it. Ruggie looks embarrassed for a moment as he admits, maybe, for a short while- but says this isn’t the time for jokes! The situation looks really bad now!
Leona then says he’s seen the mark on their suits before many times in the royal palace, and guesses they’re probably the ‘Ferry Guards’(pronounced watashimori. Ferry, river Styx, you can connect the dots). He tells Ruggie to just hold his tail between his legs and stay put.
By then the guards have confirmed that the magical pen was indeed the one officially distributed by the school. Since ‘Subject B’ shows no intention to resist, they request Leona to accompany them, and Leona agrees. He also tells them to treat him respectfully, since he is a prince afterall. If they drive haphazardly then he might just get sick.
Ruggie is confused, and Leona tells him that he’s leaving Savanaclaw in his hands until he returns. Well, IF he returns, he’s not so sure about that. And then he’s taken away while Ruggie calls out to him.
The scene changes to the interior of one of the classrooms, right when the explosion happens. Azul is there, startled. Idia is also startled, but he was just bothered by the fact that the chessboard is a mess now, when he was clearly winning the game. Azul is exasperated as he says this is not the time for that, there’s clearly an emergency taking place at the moment!
Idia tells Ortho to confirm the situation, and Ortho takes a moment to compute before replying that a high-powered magic beam has been shot against the school’s magical barrier. Presently there are several areas of damage to the barrier. He has also confirmed there are multiple biological responses right outside the barrier as well. Idia asks for a precise number. Ortho says there are 15 on the grounds, and several more heat sources in the air. The numbers are likely to keep increasing as well.
Idia confirms they are capable of using magic beams that can take down the school barrier. He then asks Ortho to report their equipment as accurate as possible. Ortho says that they are capable of flight by boarding a machine that is controlled by magic. They can also use magic bullets and electrical magic beams as well.
Ortho concludes that, judging from the performance of their mobile gadget, as well as the nature of their magical circuits, the suits seem to be S.T.Y.X-made.
The episode ends with Idia claiming ‘this is the worst’.
Sebek is unnerved by the fact that their attacks are barely doing anything to the intruders. Silver notes that it might be special equipment that can nullify magic. The intruders charge up a special capturing beam and shoot Riddle, electrifying him. They confirmed that he’s stopped moving, and move to secure him.
However, Riddle turns red in rage and stands up again, setting the field around them ablaze. He’s super pissed now, how dare they attack him? The intruders are befuddled for a moment before charging up a beam again, shooting Riddle for the 2nd time. It looks like he couldn’t stand against it again and gets knocked out. Sebek and Silver try to stop them from taking him away but to avail.
Silver then notices there are more intruders than the one they had just fought. It looks like they came to the school for some purpose. Silver notes that it seemed they had only aimed for Riddle from the start, and suddenly the two come to a realization; what if they’re aiming only for the dorm leaders? If that’s the case they need to find Malleus immediately and head off for Diasomnia, hoping their master is still safe.
The scene changes to the greenhouse now, where Ruggie is searching for Leona in one of usual nap spots. Apparently Trein had sent him because Leona had gone off somewhere without turning in his history report, again.
In the next moment, the explosion could be heard, and the glass roof of the greenhouse is broken. It’s coming down right above Ruggie, who is frozen in fear. Moments pass and nothing happens, and right then Leona speaks up, telling Ruggie that he should be able to put up a magic barrier quickly since he’s already a 2nd year. Ruggie is relieved to see him, but the moment is broken when the intruders show up in front of them.
Episode ends here
After an intense battle, unfortunately, the 1st years were unable to stop the intruders either and are all knocked out. Grim rages against the cage, wanting out, and cries out to mc. Mc is only able to call out Grim’s name as they fly away with him, Vil and Jamil in custody.
Kalim is out of his wits, and Rook forces himself to calm down and take stock of the situation. He tells Kalim that the treatment of the 1st years takes priority right now. Kalim is distraught over Jamil being kidnapped, but Rook tells him to come back to his senses, Jamil is gone right now, so he needs to pick up the act of being the Dorm Head by himself now. Kalim comes to accept it, and says he’ll go find the other heads. Suddenly, Ace tries to speak, while in pain, and says that he tried to call Riddle but he didn’t pick up. The other two feel a sense of foreboding now.
The scene cuts to the the stables, a few minutes before the incident occured.
Riddle is trying to calm the horses, who seem to be unusually unsettled today. Silver wonders if there’s a storm coming, since animals are sensitive to changes in the environment. Suddenly the explosion(same as the one in the previous chapter) occurs, and everyone is shocked. Sebek runs over to check on Silver and Riddle. Silver in turn asks if all the other club members are ok, and Sebek reports that both the humans and horses are all safe, and wonders what the sound and tremors were.
Riddle says he’s not sure, but it might be that some outsiders have attacked the barrier- and is cut off by the arrival of the intruders, Squad Hexa. They report that they’ve spotted ‘Subject A’ and move in to secure him. Sebek exclaims in surprise, wondering who these people are, wearing armor he’s never seen before. Silver tenses up while affirming that they do not seem like friendly entities. Riddle asks to confirm if they have formal permission from the school to be on school grounds, the intruders remain quiet. Unauthorized entry on school grounds is strictly prohibited, and hence is a serious violation of a Rule. Riddle uses his authority as the Dorm Head of Heartslabyul to authorize usage of magic attacks against the intruders. Silver and Sebek follow up. A battle ensues.

Epel’s Wish
Pomefiore Dorm - Epel’s room
Epel: My wish is… “to grow taller”
Grim: Why do ya want to grow taller??
Epel: I’ve always been a late bloomer… and I’ve always yearned to be more well-built.
Epel: If I could grow taller, then I’d be one step closer to my ideal.
Deuce: Ahh…its true some folk look a lot more intimidating when they’ve got the height for it.
Deuce: By the way, is there anyone in school that you think is close to your ideal?
Epel: If I had to pick someone… it’d be Jack-kun from my class, I guess.
Deuce: Right, he’s got 190cm on him, he’d definitely fit the bill.
Grim: His arms and legs are pretty bulky too, he’s built like a log!
Epel: Right? We’re in the same class so once, I asked him how he managed to get so tall.
Mc:>What was his reply? >What was the reaction?
Epel: He said… he doesn’t know.
Epel: When he was younger, he was about average height, but… apparently he started to get growth pains in his legs before he even graduated from elementary school.
Epel: And before he knew it, he was as tall as we see him now…
Deuce: If his growth spurt was that bad then it must’ve been pretty painful for him.
Deuce: Mine happened during middle school, I’d wake up in the middle of the night because of the pain.
Epel: I haven’t experienced that yet so… I’d like to believe that my growth spurt has yet to happen, there’s hope for me yet!
Grim: I haven’t experienced that either so, maybe I’m gonna grow huge one of these days!
Deuce: You aren’t even human though, so you probably shouldn’t count on it working the same like it does for us…
Grim: Wha-!? That ain’t true, I’m sure I’m gonna grow taller!!
Grim: Just you wait Deuce: I’m gonna grow so big I’ll be looking down on ya soon enough!!
Epel: Fufu, it’d be great if you could get bigger too, Grim.
Kalim’s Wish
Scarabia Dorm - Kalim’s room
Kalim: My wish is…. “For everyone to be happy!”
Deuce: Eh, a-are you sure you wanna go with that?
Kalim: Hm? Did I say something wrong?
Deuce: N-not at all… I was just a little surprised to hear you say something no other student would….
Kalim: Hmm, do you think I should’ve just focused on our dorm’s students?
Kalim: But then, there’s my family, my servants, my people of the Land of Hot Sands… and then our teachers, my friends in the other dorms, the ghosts in the school…
Kalim: Once I started counting ‘em, there were just way too many people I wanted to be happy, and I lost count!
Kalim: So I just chalked it down to “Everyone” in the end! Kinda blew up huh, ahaha!
Deuce: Ah, I wasn’t really talking about the 'range’ per say, but rather the content is…
Grim: Its just weird!!
Deuce: Oi Grim! Don’t just blurt that out, and here I was trying to glaze over it too!
Grim: I mean c'mon, a wish is something you use for yourself right?? Then why would anyone use it for the sake of others when there’s nothing in it for themselves!
Kalim: But this works for me too y'know?
Kalim: If everyone around me is happy, then of course I’d be happy too!
Kalim: Doesn’t that work in my favor then?
Mc:>He really is a good person….
>I think that’s a wonderful wish
Kalim: Oh did I just get complimented? Thanks, Mc!
Kalim: Oh and Deuce, I’m looking forward to your dance, do your best!
Kalim: Jamil and I will definitely be there to cheer you guys on!
Deuce: …a-aight, thanks!I’m gonna dance with all I’ve got!!

Ace: Dealing with ghosts seems like such a pain…I actually kinda feel sorry for you since you actually live with them

Ace: The ideal relationship? Isn’t that different for different people? Just like how the definition of happiness differs across people too
Ace: “This is a special occasion” is what Rook-senpai said, so he styled my hair for me! He’s seriously good at this kinda thing!
Ace: Can you see the words on this rosette? I had Sam put the words on with magic…. Ah, you’re a little too close now ;)
(For anyone curious, it literally just says ‘The GROOM Ace’ lmao)
Ace: I’m definitely the type to marry late… huh? “That’s how it is for someone like you”? What, there’s no way that’s true…
Ace: What is it…Ah! You wanna say that I look weird in this outfit don’t you!
(unlocked after Groovy)
Ace: “I’m the one who’s most suitable to be with you-”
Ace: Wh-Hey! Give it back! That’s my scenario notes!!
Ok so I’m leaving a kinda big summary here while I make a good script translation later
Its basically a dumbass squad moment and I’m LIVING for it I absolutely loved this event and Ace’s card story, so glad I got it!!
So basically his card story starts right after the event story, the ghosts have left, leaving their mess behind, so Crowley orders all the first years to clean up the cafeteria before they go back to their dorm, including Grim and MC
There’s a lot to clean up and Ace starts whining about how the ghosts troubled them to the very end, and that he feels he could never understand the ghost bride who was chasing after love for 500 years
This makes Epel curious and asks Ace if he’s never been in love before, because he felt it was unexpected of Ace to say so
Ace says he has actually been in a relationship before, but it didn’t work out: the girl would never like thrill rides in amusement parks, would stop to take pics of cute things all the time, would only watch romance movies, etc, so he decided to start ignoring her(wow Ace real smooth)
Apparently later he was called out by a group of girls he doesn’t even know and they started whaling on him, asking why he dumped her etc etc, and after that he decided to never be in a relationship again and that he’s fine just chilling with his dudes lmao
Soon Deuce and Jack wander over, wondering what they’re talking about. Ace immediately changes the subject and focuses on Deuce, pointing out how Deuce completely froze up in front of the ghost bride when it was his turn. Deuce tries to defend himself, saying it couldn’t be helped since he’s never had a chance to interact with women before(aw)
Ace then asks Deuce whether he was popular in middle school, since he apparently went to a co-ed as well, and thought Deuce’s ‘bad boy’ vibe would be a hit. Deuce says no, no woman other than his mother would talk to him, not even the boys could look him properly in the eye. Turns out he looked a lot scarier than expected lmao, the poor guy
Next Ace moves on to Jack, thinking he could never be popular with that scary face. Jack tells him to lay off, and that it doesn’t matter anyways. The wolf people prefer to have one mate for life, so Jack doesn’t need to be popular, he only needs to find the right person and would cherish them for life(omg cutie…)
The others find this too heavy for their tastes tho lmao, they’re like”You’re in highschool, loosen up a bit!”
Next comes Epel, and Ace assumes he must’ve been very popular with his cute looks, but Epel tells them he’s from a small village so the only people around him were all old, and he only met people around his age at NRC, so that’s a bust.
Finally Sebek marches over, telling them they should get back to work. Ace tells him he’s the worst off from the bunch, and Sebek brushes him off saying he has no time for romance anyways since he’s busy guarding Malleus. Ace asks him “but what if you meet someone you like? Would you talk their ear off about Malleus too” lmfao
Sebek says no, he has prepared for such a scenario by asking Lilia, who’s advice was as follows:
To correspond using letters, write down your feelings, send a picture of yourself smiling every 3rd letter, and keep repeating this until the 25th full moon passes. After that, go to a bench in the pasrk and leave just enough space for another person to sit
Obviously, he was fooling around as usual but Sebek believes him, as usual lmao.
But Ace did have a takeaway from Sebek’s whole conversation: Sebek said they were students and that they should focus on their studies, this stuck out to Ace, who was reminded of how cool Riddle looked when he stayed back to hold off the ghosts. Ace wants to study more magic so that one day he can wow his seniors too
He’s sad the event ended with no chance to show off his cool side, but Ortho interjects by saying he was plenty cool when he rushed in to object the marriage. Ace tries to downplay his speech(which was heartfelt and good you should read the event story from somewhere) but Ortho’s data doesn’t lie and he could tell Ace was having a ‘real’ moment at the time. Thinking back to Ace’s speech, about how “the person you should spend your life with is the one who laughs and cries with you, who is always by your side through hardships” was all his heartfelt feelings, the others decide to start making fun of him now. Epel missed the actual moment so he asked Ortho if he could watch his recording, now everyone wants in on it and Ace gets really embarrassed and tells them to give him a break
..phew that was really long but I LOVED IT
I will make the script tl for this later but hope you enjoyed this dumbass bonding as much as I did! Ace really shined in this event, and had some more depth added to him past his cynicism and jokes, really well done!
Pomefiore Dorm - Hallway
Pomefiore Student A: Take a look at Schoenheit-san today…he is the very image of beauty today!
Pomefiore Student B: He has always been quite beautiful, but lately he has been looking even more splendid, if such a thing were possible. That unbelievably clear skin…its almost as though he’s glowing, quite literally!
Pomefiore Student A: I wonder what kind of skincare our dorm leader does? Ordinary folk like us can’t even begin to imagine it…
Rook: Did you hear that, Vil? In the past few days, everyone has been talking about you!
Rook: Everyone is captivated by you, Roi du Poison, myself included.
Vil: Of course, right now I’m in peak condition. There is not the slightest blemish on my form.
Rook: To see you raise yourself to even better heights for the entrance ceremony….Marvelous! I’m excited to witness it!
Azul: Well well, if it isn’t Vil-san. It’s been a while.
Vil: Azul, good work on the entrance ceremony rehearsal.
Azul: You look even more radiant than usual. Is there a secret to your beauty?
Vil: Fufu, well, I suppose it has to do with the toner I received a week ago?
Azul: “Is your skin damaged from the summer sun? Then apply this cooling gel which will be gently absorbed by the skin and rejuvenate it, and feel good as well.”
Azul: “The more you use it, the more it hydrates your skin, bringing out its clear, natural beauty.”
Azul:…It’s my best work yet.
Vil: Certainly, this is my first time using a toner with such excellent results.
Vil: It seems the rumor that you can grant any wish wasn’t false after all.
Azul: Your words are the highest praise.
Vil: I honestly thought it was a poor joke when you first brought me that…turquoise colored, slimy gel.
Azul: Haha, you can’t know the quality of a good product until you use it.
Rook: Oh? Were you the one behind the secret to Vil’s beauty, Roi de Forte?
Rook: In that case, let me extend my gratitude towards you! To think that you have brought Vil to even greater heights…
Rook: It’s certainly a splendid occasion, is it not? Vil.
Vil: Quite so. I made the right call.
Azul: Thank you. To hear such praise from my esteemed senpai is quite the honor.
Vil: Its not that I’m praising you, but rather that I trust my own judgement.
Vil: I’ve been thinking for a while that you must know about some good skincare techniques.
Azul: Oh? Why would you say that? I don’t remember discussing such a matter with you before…
Vil: Anyone could see that you have beautiful skin if they paid attention. And its not just you, but those twins who’re always with you as well.
Vil: Well then, I wonder what kind of secret this toner is holding?
Rook: That’s right. I wonder what kind of compound this toner contains that not even Vil could make it.
Rook: Did you discover a new variety of herb? Or perhaps it was because you made use of your expertise in alchemy?
Azul: …It’s a trade secret.
Jade: There you are Azul. There’s something I need your help with in regards to the entrance ceremony…
Azul: That won’t do at all, I must get back to the preparations for the entrance ceremony. I shall take my leave now.
Vil: Leaving so soon? And it was just getting to the good part too…
Vil: What’s got you in such a hurry?
Azul: I apologize, this is my first entrance ceremony as a dorm head. As shameful as it is to admit, there are quite a lot I need to prep for.
Azul: Until we meet again.
Vil: …
Vil: …heh. I’ll let it go this time. I’ll be sure to use your services again if something comes up.
Azul: With pleasure!
Azul: Thank you for your patronage, I look forward to our next deal.
—————————————
Hall of Mirrors
Azul: …That was a close one. Good timing, Jade.
Jade: I wanted to report that Floyd is finally able to walk again.
Jade: He seems fit to come back up on land. Right on time to attend the entrance ceremony.
Floyd: Dammit, that was horrible…I feel like a fish that’s been scaled.
Jade: Eels don’t have scales in the first place, Floyd.
Azul: Floyd! Vil was quite happy with the product!
Azul: Thanks to your dedicated efforts, we were able to make an excellent toner.
Floyd: That’s rich comin’ from someone who had me wrung out like a dirty rag.
Floyd: There won’t be a next time, got it?
Azul: Yeah, yeah. Next time we’ll decide by a coin toss then.
Floyd: Sheesh…did'ja really get it?
Azul: Oh great Mother Ocean, your blessings are indeed many.
Part 1
Octanivelle Dorm Lounge
Vil: I make a special toner for my skin, which leaves it rich and moisturized. It works far better than any other cosmetic.
Vil: And you’re telling me that you can prepare an even better toner, one week before the entrance ceremony?
Azul: Of course. If you sign the contract, your wish to attend the entrance ceremony with the most beautiful skin yet, will be granted.
Azul: ‘Any wish can be granted, no matter how difficult’…You came here because you heard such a rumor about me, isn’t that right?
Vil: Well, aren’t you confident. I can’t trust a man who makes cheap promises.
Azul: It’s fine to pull your request if you can’t trust me.
Azul: However…I think it would be difficult for anyone but myself to fulfill such a demanding request.
Vil: Grinning like that, you’re such an unpleasant man aren’t you… Well then, what do you want in return for this?
Azul: Let’s see…
Azul: I’d like 10 flowers from the Country of Augite, that which you grow in your botanical garden.
Vil: Flowers, is it…There’s no need to be so roundabout.
Vil: You must have already known that it’s a valuable poison. You really are quite cunning.
Azul: Fufu. Isn’t it a fitting compensation for your difficult request?
Vil: Very well then. I’ll take the deal. I’ve steeled my resolve for the sake of my wish.
Azul: It’s a deal then! I look forward to the day I receive the flowers.
Azul: I’m glad this turned out to be beneficial for the both of us. Jade, Floyd, Vil shall be taking his leave.
Vil: There’s no need to escort me. If you have the free time for that, then use it towards granting my request.
Azul: ….Good grief. He’s such a noisy person.
Azul: It seems like we have to make the world’s most moisturizing toner yet.
Floyd: Isn’t Betta-chan-senpai’s skin plenty pretty already?
Jade: It’s just like Vil-san to want even more than that. He’s always trying to improve himself even further.
Azul: Vil excels at Magical Pharmaceutics; He must have tried all manner of herbs that are good for the skin.
Azul: In that case, we’ll have to use other ingredients to make the toner.
Jade: Then, why not use your skill in alchemy, Azul?
Jade: I assume the metals and ores used in alchemy are not common materials used in Magic Pharmaceutics.
Azul: Certainly, we do have metals and precious stones which have medicinal effects when turned into fine powder. It’s worth a shot.
Floyd: Eh~ but ain’t that boring?
Azul: Why?
Floyd: 'Cos, using metals and ores, don’t it seem like an obvious answer?
Floyd: I think Betta-chan-senpai expects something that he didn’t even think of before, right?
Azul: ….You do have a point. An element of surprise is important. As they say, surprise often leads to satisfaction.
Azul: Well then, let’s find some ingredients that aren’t normally used in cosmetics to add to its moisturizing value.
Floyd: What’s 'moisturizing’ mean?
Jade: To put it simply…it makes something soft and jelly-like?
Azul: That’s right. I’ll leave it to you two to gather the materials. Meanwhile I’ll prepare the tools for conducting our experiment.
Jade: Understood.
—-A few days later—-
Floyd: Ahh~ I’m done with this. Can I quit?
Jade: Attempt No.198…has also ended in failure, it seems.
Azul: No matter how much we try to refine it, it still fails to produce better results than that of Vil’s toner!
Floyd: There’s only one day left before the deadline you promised Betta-chan-senpai. Dun think this is gonna happen.
Jade: What is it lacking… Is it permeability? Or perhaps viscosity?
Azul: That’s not it… We agreed we needed an element of surprise in the ingredients, so perhaps we should consider an innovative composition for it as well?
Jade: In that case, we need more….maybe here we should add….
Azul: But then…..instead it…..no but even then….
Floyd: Jelly, pudding, slime, gumball, raw meat, blisters…
Floyd: Ugh, I’m tired of seeing all these fleshy stuff.
Azul: Floyd, stop trying to damage the ingredients.
Floyd: We dun really need all these right~? Your octopus form is a lot more fleshy than all these stuff combined.
Azul: What? ….Why would you bring that up now of all times. Don’t mess with me.
Floyd: When yer in the ocean, yer so fleshy and tasty looking. Even if we tried to hold in all of you, you’d just pop right out.
Jade: Certainly…Azul’s form in the ocean is jelly-like and very…fufufu.
Azul: Don’t agree with him Jade, and don’t laugh!
Azul: And in that case, Floyd, your form in the ocean is quite slippery as well!
Floyd: Eh, me? Ya think so? Then Jade’s the same too right?
Azul: ….hm?
Azul: Now that you said it, Jade has good skin too doesn’t he. If you look closely, even in this human form….
Jade: Do you think so? I hadn’t really thought about it.
Azul: In that case…we seem to have an inherent moisture. And what we have in common is….
Azul: …Jade, come here.
Azul: …..ocean…..skin…..the mucilage is…..
Jade: Gelatin…..collagen as well…..harvesting…..
Azul: Ocean water…..rich in mineral….
Floyd: Yer mumbling is creeping me out. What’re you talking about?
Azul: Floyd, can you spare a minute? I need you to turn into your eel form.
Floyd: Eh, no way. ….The hell is Jade practicing wringing a dust cloth for!?
Jade: Hn! Hn!
Azul: This is for the sake of a successful deal. Please endure it for a while.
Jade: The image training was perfect. I don’t want to hurt my precious brother after all.
Floyd: Wh—Noooooooo!!
