Idia: “If you were to join any dorm other than Heartslabyul, which dorm would you choose?”
Deuce: Somewhere other than Heartslabyul, huh…Then, I’d choose Scarabia!
Idia: Eh? Scarabia’s got all those extroverts that just throw parties whenever they want… What’s so great about them?
Deuce: I believe that in order for me to improve on my number one weakness, Scarabia would be the best place for me.
Deuce: My upperclassmen often point out that I tend to move before I think…
Deuce: Like the other day, I heard Clover-senpai talking about how he needed to buy some cheese…
Deuce: So I grabbed my wallet and said, “I’ll go get it for you!” and ran towards the school store.
Deuce: And I didn’t really think much of it and just bought some regular cheese snacks and brought them back to the dorm, but…
Deuce: What Clover-senpai really wanted was some cream cheese to bake sweets with.
Idia: Who goes through a comedic episode like that at this age!? Why are you even in that much of a rush…?
Deuce: I had heard the day before that he was going to bake some cheese tarts for the Unbirthday Party, so…
Deuce: If I had just stopped to think about it, I think I would have realized that what he needed was cream cheese instead of regular cheese.
Deuce: There were so many opportunities for me to double-check… Like, I could have called Clover-senpai from the school store.
Deuce: But because I just ran off with my own assumption, I ended up having to go buy it twice.
Deuce: Man, I really felt bad and useless…
Idia: Ah… Yeah, I also can’t help but feel bad for you… Hang in there, Deuce-shi. It’ll pass.
Deuce: Thank you. Clover-senpai also told me to not worry about it, but…
Deuce: It’s not just this time that this has happened. And it’s not like I’m not usually calm or anything, but it’s more like I just start moving without thinking.
Deuce: Yeah, there are times where that does end up being a good thing, but when I think about my future, I feel like I need to fix this habit.
Deuce: That’s why if I can ingrain the spirit of deliberation into myself from Scarabia, the number of mistakes that I’d make like this would decrease… I think!
Idia: Yeah, well… It’s not like anything is actually going to be fixed here from this little exercise, so… Good luck, Deuce-shi.
Deuce: Is the interview over now?
Idia: Yup. So next is time for the presentation of the ever-so-popular “gift of good fortune"～
Deuce: It’s the main event of the day! I’m completely prepared! Please don’t go easy on me!!!
Idia: You got it! …Is what I’d like to say, but I don’t know how much throwing power I’d have…
Idia: If anything, I’m feeling apprehensive.
Deuce: Don’t worry! Even if you throw it in the opposite direction…
Deuce: I’ll absolutely make sure to catch it right smack dab in the middle of my face!!
Idia: H-H-How would you do that? I mean, I guess that’s a little reassuring, though…
Idia: “If you could have one person with you on a deserted island, who would you choose?”
Idia: Except that you can’t pick someone from the same dorm…
Deuce: A deserted island, huh… That’s a place where you could go explore caves, or search for legendary treasure!
Idia: Ahh, yeah, you’d see that sort of thing in anime a lot… Stuff like that seems easy when you’re just watching the screen, but it definitely wouldn’t be irl.
Deuce: The things you’d need to have for an adventure like that would be wisdom, stamina, and courage!
Deuce: If that’s the case, I think Jack or Epel might be someone I can best count on, but… AH!
Idia: Eh, what!?
Deuce: As soon as you arrive on an uninhabited island, you really need to find sources of water and food, right?
Deuce: In the movies, they gather clams and fish from the ocean, but I’m not that confident in my cooking skills… Oh, I know!
Deuce: If I were to go to a deserted island, I’d like Bucchi-senpai to come with me! ‘Cause I remember hearing somewhere that he’s really good at fishing.
Idia: I-I see… Well, I guess I can understand that choice.
Deuce: Also, from what I heard from Jack and Epel, Bucchi-senpai is always picking bushels of grass.
Idia: Eh? Grass? Instead of just letting them grow freely? What for?
Deuce: It sounds like he uses them as food. So that means he would be able to tell which plants are edible, right?
Deuce: If I had Bucchi-senpai there, I feel like I would at least not have any worried about food.
Idia: I think I get what you’re saying… But you don’t really think that that Ruggie-shi would willingly share his food, do you?
Deuce: Urgh, you’re not wrong…
Idia: And besides, if he can do so much by himself, then don’t you think he’d just leave you behind and quickly escape the island～?
Deuce: N-No, he… wouldn't… Wait no, but there’d definitely be situations where he’d need the extra hands, right!?
Deuce: Besides, I know how to do simple maintenance on a magical wheel, so I could come in handy if we need to build something… probably.
Deuce: Like an escape boat! …Well, okay, that might be more or less impossible, but I think I could at least make a raft…
Deuce: Anyway, besides building whatever we’d need, I also would have full confidence in my ability to carry heavy things, like logs!
Deuce: If I work hard, then Bucchi-senpai will definitely also lend me a hand… Is what I’d like to believe.Idia: I really don’t know about that… But, eh, that’s a good enough answer for the interview, at least.
Deuce: So, it’s time for the customary birthday interview. Whenever I’m somewhere formal like this, I get a bit nervous…
Deuce: Since this is a traditional event, I’ll have to make sure I answer properly and not make any mistakes.
Deuce: Anyway, the presenter chosen by the “Magical Birthday Dice” should be coming soon…
???:Haaaah… I mean, I’ll do it because I was chosen for it, but come on. This mandatory event is super annoying. Excuuuse me…
Deuce: SHROUD-SENPAI… YO! THANK YOU FOR COMING!
Idia: Hiee! There’s that stupid loud jock voice…!
Idia: Deu-Deu-Deuce-shi, you were waiting, huh… Already…
Deuce: So you were the one chosen to be my presenter. I’m honored to have you!
Idia:It’s not like I came because I wanted to… Eh, whatever. Anyway… Here’s your present…
Deuce: Thank you very much! Wow, it’s a very large bag. I wonder what’s inside…
Deuce: Oh, this is…!
Idia: My selection of 20 types of cup ramen. It has an array of choices, from local specialties, to some low-sugar varieties that are currently all the rage.
Idia: I bet it’s perfect for a growing highschooler with a huge appetite like you, though, right? I don’t really know anything about that, though.
Idia: These are the flavors I usually eat, but there’s a bunch here, so I’m sure at least one of them will suit your tastes, Deuce-shi.
Deuce: When you say “usually,” does that mean you like cup ramen too?
Idia:Oho, “too,” he says… Fuheehee, looks like I made the right choice.
Idia: I mean, I wouldn’t really say I like them, they’re just convenient to eat. It doesn’t take any time to cook, it’s ready in just a couple minutes.
Deuce: Yeah, yeah! You can easily make some just by pouring some hot water on it, it fills up your stomach, and is super tasty.
Deuce: On days that I have club activities… Especially when we’re practicing more in preparation for a meet, I tend to get too hungry and won’t last until dinner time.
Deuce: It’d dig into my wallet to buy food every day, and even then, there’s only so much I can do to stave off the hunger.
Idia: Ahh… I get you. When I’m concentrating hard on something, it’s fine, but the moment I remember I’m hungry, it’s game over…
Deuce: Yes. Once, Jack told me that boxers drink a ton of water in order to keep from getting hungry…
Deuce: I thought it was a good idea, and tried to imitate them, but honestly, I didn’t really have much luck with that.
Idia: Well, yeah, it’s just water.
Deuce: But, thanks to you, Shroud-senpai, I shouldn’t have to worry about finding something to eat after my club. Thank you!
Deuce: Still, this is pretty amazing. I’ve eaten a ton of different kinds of cup ramen up ‘til now, but…
Deuce: There’s a ton of stuff here that I’ve never even seen before. It’s like a dream come true that I get to eat all these… Wait, huh?
Deuce: Oh, I think this… Yeah, didn’t they stop selling this one here back when I was in elementary school…?
Idia: Ah, yeah, that one is being sold again recently. On top of only being sold via the manufacturer’s official mail order service, there was only a limited quantity being sold.
Idia: The day of release, their website was overloaded with requests, and was already completely sold out in the minute after the site crashed. Now I hear it’s being scalped at premium price.
Deuce: I-Is it alright for me to be receiving something that valuable…?
Idia: Fuheehee, I was able to purchase a whole box of them no problem, so～ Take it, take it!
Deuce: Man, this is so nostalgic… I used to love eating these with eggs.
Deuce: Also, this one with the seafood base is most well-known for being made with milk, but it’s still delicious with eggs…
Idia: Deuce-shi, do you not know how to flavor them using anything but eggs?
Deuce: Well, I mean, eggs go with any kind of cup ramen! There’s no way to screw it up, so I totally recommend it.
Idia: Hmmm… I’m not really sure if I’d ever prep cup ramen like that, since they’re supposed to be hassle free. But hey, if I ever feel like it, I guess I can give it a shot.
When Summoned: It’s super embarrassing to be the center of attention, but… this party’s for me. I’m going to enjoy it to the max!
Summon Line: I heard you helped out with the party prep, huh? Thanks! Make sure you enjoy yourself too, y'know!
Groooovy!!: This was a great day filled with a ton of food and laughter. So now, we all gotta work hard again starting from tomorrow!
Home: I totally look cool, right? …Nevermind.
Home Idle 1: I think Ace and Grim said they were going to show me some magic tricks. But both of them had this weird grin on their faces… I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Home Idle 2: Rosehearts-ryōchō gave me an alarm clock. A consistent routine is the foundation of being an honor student. I’ll take good care of it.
Home Idle 3: Sebek recommended this reference book to me, but… it’s obviously a book for kids! That jerk…!
Home Idle - Login: My classmates, my club mates, and the guys in my dorm… With all these people to celebrate with, I’m the luckiest guy in the world!
Home Idle - Groovy: My roommates are trying to nab the cup ramen that Shroud-senpai gave me! Let me keep them here for a little bit!
Home Tap 1: My name is on a jacket from the prestigious Night Raven College… Absolutely perfect!
Home Tap 2: You want a few words from the birthday boy?! All of a sudden! Wait, uh… I’m gonna continue to strive towards being an honors student this year! I’ll keep it up from here on out too!
Home Tap 3: When I wear this kind of jacket, it reminds me of the days I’d go and ride my magical wheel on the mountain pass… Really makes me wanna go for a ride now.
Home Tap 4: Oh man. I had so much fun at the party that I couldn’t sleep, so now… I’m crazy sleepy…
Home Tap 5: …Sorry, say that again? My ears are still ringing from that large party popper going off.
Home Tap - Groovy: Hahah! I’m completely covered in cream. Ah, don’t get any closer, okay? You’ll get dirty too.
Duo: [DEUCE]: Shroud-senpai, thanks for the birthday wishes! [IDIA]: Deuce-shi, happy b-day.
Birthday Login Message: I can’t believe you’re here to wish me a happy birthday… Today’s such an amazing day. …Oh, shoot. I definitely have some kind of weird look on my face right now, don’t I? Sorry, I just got so happy I couldn’t help this wide grin. Anyway, thanks so much, Prefect! I’ll make sure to keep doing my best to be someone deserving of your celebrations!
