New Teeth Maintenance
Well I forgot to fix the sound settings but Leona was not a jerk and I got him in 30 pulls. Which caught me off guard because I didn’t get the usual little animatic of Grim on the balcony for this or the guaranteed SSR showcase where I got Riddle.
But I got him! That’s what matters

[Pomefiore Dorm – Ballroom]
Lilia: Oh, I have an idea! Ace, why don’t you show them an example of how to walk properly?
Ace: Eh? Me, an example?
Jack: Heh, that’s a great idea. Try it, Ace.
Ace: Huuh? Why do I gotta!?
Jack: Hey, hey, you’re gonna stir up trouble and then not do it yourself? You think we’ll let you get away with that?
Vil: Sigh… I don’t think we can have a proper lesson in this kind of atmosphere.
Vil: In order to try to bring everyone together, I’ll allow Lilia’s suggestion and have Ace join us just this once.
Silver: Ace will show us a performance, huh. I cannot wait. I’ll make sure to study it intently.
Ace: Eeeeeh～ No way. There’s no reason for me to do any walking practice when I’m going to just be the emcee of the group.
Lilia: Hey, Ace. Don’t you feel a bit frustrated that Jack is looking down on you?
Lilia: You just gotta face him and make him eat his words!
Ace: I mean, I’m not really frustrated or anything…
Ace: But hey wait, who’s side are you on, anyway?
Lilia: I’m on your side, of course. Now, c'mon, hurry and do it.
Ace: Fine, fine, I’ll do it.
Ace: Ehhh. I’m not really sure I can do it though～
Jack: Haha, I’m looking forward to this. If you can’t do it well, I’ll heckle you right back.
Ace: …Mmkay, here I go then.
[walks]
Jack/Silver:…!!
Lilia:Oho!
Vil: …Your center of gravity is unwavering, and your knees extend beautifully without any undue effort. Not bad.
Ace: …Well, I guess that’ll do!
Ace: How was it? Based on everyone’s reactions, I guess I did pretty good?
Vil: I suppose. You’re a little rough around the edges, but… I would give it a passing mark.
Ace: Haha, thaaanks.
Jack: Hey, Ace! How’re you able to walk so well like that?
Silver: Have you modeled before?
Ace: Nope, none. This was the first time I’ve ever walked like this.
Jack: Then, why…!
Ace: Why? I mean, it’s easy. I just put into practice everything Vil-senpai had been saying during your lessons.
Ace: I heard his explanation, and then just winged it the way I thought he wanted it.
Jack:Huh…?
Lilia: Kufufu. You’re quite adept to be able to do it so easily just my hearing him explain it.
Ace: Well yeah, something like this is easy-peasy.
Ace: If anything, why can’t you guys do it, even though Vil-senpai is explaining it over and over again? So weird.
Ace: But hey, I don’t mind all the praise. Thaaanks.
Jack/Silver:…
Vil: Do you understand now? I’m not demanding anything impossible from you all.
Vil: Although, I suppose a part of it could also be Ace’s natural talent as well.
Ace: Okay, then. No one else’s got anything to say, right? I’ll be heading off then.
Lilia: Oh, you’re done already?
Ace: I told you already. This was just to kill time.
Ace: I’m pretty busy with my own stuff too, so I can’t be looking after shy little Jack forever, y'know～
Ace: Mmkay then, bye～
Lilia: Okay, see you later～!
Jack: D-Dammit… I can’t lose to Ace! I’ll definitely perfect my walking!
Jack: Vil-senpai! Please be stricter with your discipline!
Silver: Same here. We may not be as good as Ace, but we’ll make up for it with our painstaking efforts.
Vil: There’s no need to be that eager, you can reach his level easily if you just practice seriously.
Vil: …But, I suppose that was good motivation, at least.
Vil: Now, break’s over. Let’s resume practice!
Jack/Silver:YESSIR!
Lilia: Hmm… Those two both have very focused looks on their faces now.
Lilia: I see what he did now. What an odd way to “encourage” them. Kufufu.
[Pomefiore Dorm – Lounge]
Ace: Haaah. I was just planning to mess with them a little bit. I didn’t think I’d end up having to join them too.
Ace: Eh, I don’t think I’ll need to worry ‘bout those two now that they’re super fired up. They’ve always been one of the more annoyingly serious crowd, too.
Ace: I sure hope I’ll get to do my part… I’m counting on you guys, alright?

[Pomefiore Dorm – Ballroom]
Vil: Stop! Both of you, stop there.
Vil: Walking is not done with just your legs, but by holding your pelvis directly right over your thighs. How many times do I have to repeat this?
Jack: …I’m sorry.
Silver: This is really difficult…
Vil: Sigh… Well, I need to step away for a moment to deal with something for my dorm. While I’m gone, make sure to continue with your individual practice!
Vil: If you slack off or otherwise neglect your training, I will not be pleased. Once I return, I will check for any improvements, so keep that in mind.
Ace: At this rate, I wonder if they’re going to be alright…
Ace: In order for me to hook the queen, we’ll need it to be an irresistible show, but things don’t really look too good.
Lilia: You all look to be in a bind, hm. Although it is fun to watch from the side.
Ace: Uwaa!? …Lilia-senpai? Eh, when did you get here?
Lilia: Kufufu, sorry, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.
Lilia: I’ve been busy dealing with all the students freezing to the bone, but I was finally able to find some time to come here.
Lilia: I thought I’d come and cheer on Silver, since he is practicing so hard.
Ace: I see～ You coulda just gone and lounged around, but you came all the way to Pomefiore. So nice of you～
Lilia: I could say the same of you. You’re watching those two practice so intently. Aren’t you riddled with worry?
Ace: Well yeah, of course I’m worried! ‘Cause we’re all in this together.
Ace: I mean, look at how Jack’s moving.
Ace: Maybe it’s 'cause he’s nervous, but you really can’t tell that he’s usually so agile from how horribly he’s carrying himself.
Lilia: Hmm… True. His peculiar movements seem to remind me of something the longer I watch…
Lilia: Ah! I know. He looks like a bird that’s hit his head!
Ace: A bird that hit his head?! I can’t say I’ve ever seen something like that, but it sounds like a totally perfect analogy!
Lilia: His legs are shaking, but he’s got such a serious look on his face… That gap makes me laugh!
Ace: Well, now that you mention it, he looks exactly like a flamingo whose head is spinning from being used for croquet.
Lilia: Ooh, a flamingo. I can kind of see how he looks like one, with how cute he looks, being all pink and flustered.
Ace: Yeah, yeah, that. Jack’s so easily flustered. It’s a shame, isn’t it?
Lilia: No, no. I think it’s nice and refreshing.
Lilia: If I look more closely, I see that Silver’s legs are also shaking from the posture he’s holding. It sure brings back memories of when he was just a lad.
Lilia: I feel like I could watch him forever.
Jack: …Tch… Those two are just yammering away… They’re totally enjoying this.
Silver: Jack, don’t lose focus.
Jack: Ah, yes! I have to ignore it, just ignore it… Don’t worry about them, just calm down…
Jack: Okay, this time for sure… Extend my knees, then gracefully… position my pelvis directly right over my thighs…
Ace: Hey Jack, you good～? If you don’t know how to walk straight, I can hold you up!
Lilia: Your facial expression is too stiff, too～ It’s a show, you need to smile. Come on, smile!
Jack: Ignore them… Ignore them…!
Lilia: Ooh, what unorthodox choreography. His right hand and left leg are swinging out together.
Lilia: Combined with Silver’s stiff movements, it does seem to look like two robots dancing. In a way, it’s quite hip. Is that what they are aiming for?
Ace: You two are too nervous! C'mon, c'mon, you guys gotta relax～
Lilia: Yeah, smile, smile! If you keep frowning like that, we won’t get our ticket’s worth!
Lilia: Gimme my money back～! Even though I didn’t actually spend a single madol.
Ace: Yeaaah, yeaaah, give me back the money I lent you the other day to buy a notebook～!
Jack: JUST SHUUUT UUUP!!!!
Jack: What is wrongwith you guys!? If you’re just going to bother us, go away!!
Jack: And besides, I paid you back for that notebook the same day!!
Ace: Oh, did you?
Jack: Why’d you remember lending me the money, but not that I returned it, huh?!
Silver: Calm down, Jack. I think you’re a tad off topic.
[door opens loudly]
Vil: Your shouting could be heard from outside in the hallway!!!!!
Vil: You two… You were just playing around and not practicing at all, hm…?
Jack: N-No, we weren’t!
Jack: We were practicing properly, but these two wouldn’t stop heckling us.
Lilia: We were only trying to help soothe your nerves… I’m in shock that you’d say that sort of thing…
Ace: Uwaa, you made him cry～! And after all we were doing to encourage you guys… Jack, you’re the worst～
Jack: He’s totally fake crying!
Jack: Ugh… We’re already dealing with so much trying to get it right. Don’t make it worse on us.
Jack: Vil-senpai, Silver-senpai, I’m sorry. I’ll throw them both out right away.
Vil: Right. It would be annoying for them to continue interrupting your training, yes.
Lilia: Hmm… What a shame. I would have wanted to watch a little longer.
Ace: Eh, that helped kill some time, so I’ll just go somewhere else if I’m gonna be kicked out. Mmkay then, good luck…
Lilia: Oh, I have an idea! Ace, why don’t you show them an example of how to walk properly?
Ace: Eh? Me, an example?

[Botanical Garden]
Silver: Are you ready to meet a fairy, Jade?
Jade: Yes. Now, let me get right to business…
Jade: The things in this box are the promised items that I’ve brought from the Mostro Lounge.
Silver: These are… all metal cookware.
Silver: There’s a frying pan without its handle, and a pot with a hole in it… They are all spectacularly broken.
Silver: Let’s hold these items and stand in a conspicuous location. It would be great if a craftfairy will notice us…
???:Ting ♪
Jade:Oho, that was fast, a fairy is approaching us already.
Silver:It must be a craftfairy.
Jade:Then, it is now time to implement the next step in the strategy.
Silver:Right. If I recall, Jade’s strategy was…
Silver: “While they try to talk to us, keep pretending like we do not notice them.”
Craftfairy:Ting, ting
Silver:However, that desperate ringing sound is so pitiful… Maybe we should respond after all…
Jade:You must endure it, Silver-san. If we do so, I am sure the snubbed fairy will…
Craftfairy:Ta-ting! Ting-a-ling!!
[THUMP, THUMP, HAMMER, HAMMER!]
Silver:Hm. They started making something. …And they’re already finished. What a swift hand.
[nudge, nudge]
Jade: Silver-san, the fairy is trying to push at each of us…
Silver: …Let’s take it from them.
Craftfairy:Ting-a-ling! …Hey, you humans! Can you hear me?
Jade: This is… quite astounding. As soon as I received the bell, I was suddenly able to understand their words.
Craftfairy:Well of course! That’s ‘cause I made an absolutely perfect translator bell.
Craftfairy:But putting that aside… That stuff you guys are holding are all broken, aren’t they!? You’ve got a mountain-load of them!
Craftfairy:Aaah～ I can’t take it! Hey, hey, let me fix them. Right now!
Silver:Who would have ever thought that we would be able to receive a translator from a craftfairy just by staying silent…
Silver:It was just as you said, Jade. Amazing.
Jade:Fufu, I am pleased it went well.
Craftfairy:Hellooo. Hey! Are you listening?
Jade: Aah, my apologies. We were so elated at being able to speak with a fairy, that I’m afraid we were too stunned to speak.
Silver: You want to fix all the broken items here, right?
Craftfairy:Yeah, that’s right!
Silver: Then… In return, I’d like to ask a favor.
Craftfairy:A favor?
Silver: I would like for four more of these translator bells, like the ones you just gave us. Could you make them for us?
Craftfairy:Eeh, translator bells? But-But, these are suuuper precious to us, you know.
Craftfairy:Even the ones that I just made, I didn’t give them to you. You’re just borrowing them.
Craftfairy:If I made four of them and gave them to humans, the craftfairy leader, Fairy Macy, might get mad at me…
Jade: I had no idea that these translator bells were that valuable. Now, what should we do…
Silver: Please. I really need it.
Silver: Also, your skills in crafting those translator bells was astounding.
Craftfairy:Eh? R-Really?
Silver: Yeah. You whipped it up breathtakingly fast. And yet despite that, the workmanship is exquisite without the least bit of deformation.
Silver: I can see that you are a highly skilled craftsfairy.
Craftfairy:Wellll, for me, something like that’s a piece of cake, so～
Jade: How modest. I’m sure there are very few fairies with skills such as yours, yes?
Silver: I believe so too. It was a magnificent creation.
Silver: That’s why I would like to request this task of you.
Craftfairy:Hehee～ You guys really have a good eye.
Craftfairy:Hmm, well, it looks like you guys are in a pinch, so… If you’re going to say that much, I guess I can’t refuse you.
Craftfairy:Okay! I’ll make you some translator bells!
Silver: ! …I see.
Silver: Thank you, Fairy. I’m grateful.
Craftfairy:Yeah! But in return… You better let me fix all that stuff up!
Jade: Fufufu. Of course.
Jade: How wonderful that you were able to procure enough translator bells for everyone taking part in the show.
Silver: Yeah. I don’t think it would have gone so smoothly without your help.
Silver: I’m thankful for your assistance, Jade.
Jade: No, I should be the one to thank you.
Jade: Thanks to you, all the cookware we use at the Mostro Lounge are shiny and like-new again.
Jade: With the dorms dealing with this situation, we aren’t able to open for business, you see.
Jade: We thought that the Mostro Lounge’s sales this month would be quite meager, so…
Jade: It is a huge relief to be able to cut costs in such an unexpected way.
Jade: But more than that… You surprised me, Silver-san.
Silver: ? With what?
Jade: With your ability to convince the fairy to create the translator bells.
Jade: I didn’t expect you to flatter them to receive it. You are quite the negotiator, aren’t you?
Silver: Negotiator…? I only spoke from the heart.
Silver: If you speak with sincerity, it does not matter if they are human or fae, they will understand.
Jade: From the heart… I see. Well now, that is a wonderful vision.
Jade: Then, I shall head back to my dormitory.
Silver: …Now all that’s left is to succeed at the show.
Silver: We’ll all have to work together until the very end. This is all to bring peace back to our school.

[Interior Hallway]
――While preparing for the show
Silver: Unlike humans, there are some fairies that have created and speak their own languages…
Silver: For us to communicate with them at the gala, we will need “translation devices.”
Silver: During my break in between the lessons, I’ll need to do something to get my hands on some for everyone taking part in the show.
Silver: The best option would be to ask the craftfairies to create them for us, but…
Silver: What should… we do…?
Silver:…Zzz.
[BAM!]
???: ――Oh, excuse me.
Silver: ! Pardon me, Jade. It seems I accidentally fell asleep… Are you hurt?
Jade: Yes, I am perfectly fine. But putting that aside…
Jade: I thought I could hear some kind of troubled muttering coming from the far side of the hallway, but I see it was just you, Silver-san.
Jade: What could possibly be troubling you? If you would like, perhaps I can be of assistance.
Silver: Are you sure? That’ll be a great help.
Silver: So, what’s happening is――
Jade: …I see. So you are wishing to procure these translating devices in order to properly infiltrate the fairy gala.
Silver:Yes.
Silver: In order to do that, we need to find and contact a craftfairy out of all the many fairies that are gathered here.
Silver: However, it will be practically impossible to enter the Botanical Garden to search for one. They will be vigilant for any human presence.
Silver: How could I possibly get in touch with the fairy that I need… That’s what I was wondering.
Jade: Hm… Why not attempt to figure out what that fairy would like, and use it to force them out of hiding?
Silver: Force them out of hiding…?
Jade: Oh, please don’t look so stern. Perhaps that was not a very good choice of words.
Jade: I am not saying to forcibly capture them or anything of the sort. Only to meet with and ask a favor of them.
Jade: Are you at all knowledgeable as to what craftfairies like?
Jade: I’m afraid I’m not familiar with them whatsoever, but I’m sure you may have some inkling, as you were raised in Briar Valley, yes?
Silver: If I recall… Craftfairies love to repair broken things.
Silver: Especially things made of metal. When they see something like that broken, they can’t help but try to fix it.
Jade: How fascinating that they are partial to broken hardware. It seems as though fairies have a different sensibility from that of humans and merfolk.
Jade: Incidentally, if you require that kind of junk… I mean, precious metal items, we would be able to provide some to you at the Mostro Lounge.
Silver: Is that true? Then, if you would please.
Jade: Yes, of course, leave it to me.
Silver: I’m sure that if we were to leave some broken metalware near the botanical garden, a craftfairy would appear.
Silver: Thanks to you, I may be able to contact a craftfairy.
Silver: However, there’s still one issue. They are unable to understand our language.
Silver: Even if we were able to meet the proper fairy, how would we request them to create the translating device…?
Jade: Hm… What do you think about this strategy?
Silver: …I see.
Silver: However, that…
Jade: Silver-san? Is there something wrong with that suggestion?
Silver: No, not at all, it’s a helpful strategy that you’ve come up with. I have no plans to reject it.
Silver: However… I was only worried whether or not I would be able to follow the strategy well.
Jade: If you are concerned, then perhaps I can join you at the botanical garden and assist you in your venture.
Silver: Are you alright helping me that much?
Jade: Of course. After all, this is a huge predicament for the school.
Jade: In addition, I would like to make sure that they have properly repaired the hardware, as well…
Silver: Hm? …Oh. So you’re wanting to take responsibility of your suggestion and make sure it works, then?
Silver: I am thankful for your offer. Then, let us join forces and obtain the device.
Jade: Yes, of course. Well, I shall head to the Mostro Lounge to procure the metalware.
Silver: Yeah. I’ll meet you at the botanical gardens later.

“The finest ‘evolution’”
(Part 1) (Part 2) Part 3
[Gymnasium]
Ortho: This is a first for me. Where it’s not my brother who is needed for something, but “Ortho"… me.
Ortho: I was originally brought to the school as one of Nii-san’s magical gadgets, in the first place.
Ortho: I was considered the same as a computer or a magical wheel. So of course, I was to leave this school together with him when he graduated.
Ortho: There was no reason for me to go anywhere else, the best thing for me was to be with him.
Ortho: I’ll always be together with him. That was the best… No, that was the only choice I had.
Ortho: But now it’s different.
Ortho: Ever since I’ve been recognized as "a person” instead of “a thing,” it feels as though I’ve been getting continuously updated.
Riddle: In what way?
Ortho: I’m able to gain experience and learn things every day that I wouldn’t have been able to obtain from the internet or books.
Ortho: For example, I can have meaningless chats with my classmates. Even though there’s no substance to the conversation, it’s still oddly enjoyable.
Ortho: I also had my first experience of skipping class and having a professor scold me.
Riddle: You’re telling me you’ve skipped class?
Ortho: Well, that’s because before, even when I wasn’t in class, no one would ever say anything…
Riddle: That… may be true. But from now on, you cannot miss class without a reason.
Ortho: Okaaay. See, even getting scolded like this is a new experience for me.
Ortho: This mission is the same. Of course, we all worked together to overcome this challenge…
Ortho: And through it, we’d chat, and laugh over the stupidest things…
Ortho: This moment, spending time with everyone like this, is really fun for me.
Ortho: I never thought I’d be so happy to be treated as the individual “Ortho Shroud.”
Ortho: Happiness, fun, pride… I’ve known these terms for a long time, but I finally feel like I finally understand their meaning.
Ortho: This is probably a sign that my heart is continuing to develop.
Ortho: As I continue to spend more and more time with everyone at this school, I’m sure I’ll continue to evolve even further.
Ortho: That’s because I’m the one who embodies the concept of “evolution” most at this school!
Riddle:(So, Ortho is positively accepting of the change in his emotions.)
Riddle:(He is able to earnestly believe in his future and all the possibilities he faces… This may be one of Ortho’s greatest strengths.)
Sebek: HEY, ORTHO! COME HERE QUICKLY!!!
Ace: C'mon, I told you not to yell. Ortho’s got good hearing, so you don’t need to raise your voice.
Deuce: We found a video that may be of use for the show. Can you come take a look at it?
Epel: If you use these movements as a basis, you might be able to show off your Gear more beautifully… I think.
Jack: I’ll also watch the video and practice, so I won’t get upstaged by Ortho.
Grim: I’m going to help you, too! If you make a mistake, I won’t let you live it down!
1: Come over here!
2: Hurry, hurry!
Ortho:Everybody…
Riddle: Really, as soon as they’ve finished eating, they’re instantly rowdy. I will be collecting my basket and returning to my dorm now.
Riddle: Go on, hurry and go. Everyone is waiting for you.
Ortho: But… I’m still in the middle of tuning everything…
Riddle: Oh, have you already forgotten what you yourself said?
Ortho:Eh?
Riddle: I believe you are the one who told me what is necessary in order for you to continue “updating”.
Ortho: Yeah… That’s right, the reason I was able to come up with these new ideas is because I was chatting with everyone.
Riddle: Indeed. And right now, instead of looking at your monitors, you should be looking to those that are calling for you right now.
Riddle: You only have a fleeting amount of time as a student. You understand what I am saying, yes…?
Ortho:Yeah!
Riddle: …Talking to you today has thoroughly piqued my interest in the field of magical engineering.
Riddle: Once this madness has ebbed, I may have to borrow some technical textbooks from the library.
Riddle: After all, I can’t lose to an underclassman.
Ortho: An… underclassman…?
Riddle: …Well, I certainly cannot call you a “robot” anymore.
Riddle: You completely embody the spirit of diligence of Ignihyde.
Riddle: I am sure your Dorm Leader is quite proud to see another talented student properly join the dorm.
Riddle: I also look forward to studying alongside you at this school, Ortho Shroud.
Ortho: Ehehehe. I can’t believe the Dorm Leader of Heartslabyul is saying that to me… Makes me feel like I need to work even harder.

Ace: What’s up? Ohhh, were you worried and came to check up on us?
Riddle: That’s right. The two of you didn’t return for dinner, so I brought food for you.
Ace: Eh, seriously!? Thanks!! Man, you’re always so thoughtful!
Riddle: Your attitude is really temperamental, as always, isn’t it?
Grim: Funyaaa!? I smell some food! Must be comin’ from that basket Riddle’s carrying. What’s inside!?
Grim: Sniff, sniff… There’s some open sandwiches, boiled eggs, cheese tarts and fruit. Not bad!
Epel: Grim-kun, you’re really energetic all of a sudden! Just until a second ago, you were just sprawled out sleeping on the floor～!
Grim: Stop it, Epel! Don’t grab me by the neck like that!
Jack: Riddle-ryōchō, I apologize for the fuss. Thank you very much for coming.
Sebek:…
Riddle: …Oh, you were here too, Sebek?
Sebek: …Yes. That is, I heard from Silver that they were stuck, so I came to provide them encouragement.
Ortho: And after that, he provided many ideas and helped with tasks, so he’s been very supportive!
Riddle: Heh, that is a good attitude for him to have.
Riddle: There’s more people here than I thought… It was a good decision for me to bring extra. This way, everyone will be able to partake in the food.
Riddle: You should all take a break to eat.
Ace: Alright! Thank you very muuuuch!
Ortho:….
Ortho:(Oh, it’s true… When I just did a quick vital scan, everyone’s parasympathetic nervous system has activated.)
Ortho:(Everyone really was needing to take a break. I didn’t even take into account their mental and physical fatigue.)
Epel: Hey, Ortho-kun, you should come over and rest with us too.
Ortho: Don’t worry about me. I’m an AI, so there’s no need for me to eat…
Ortho: And besides, I haven’t gathered enough data to overload the data processing capabilities in this gear, anyway.
Ortho: While everyone is resting, I’ll keep working on a few things.
Epel: Okay… Well, don’t work too hard.
Ortho: Ehehe, I’ll be fine. But thanks, Epel Felmier-san.
Riddle:…
Grim: This cheese tart’s super amazing! I’ll nab the leftovers!
1: Grim, you were just sleeping through that whole thing, you know.
Grim: Nuh-huh! I also totally was walking down the runway all dashing-looking!
2: Save it for those who had been working hard.
Sebek: You understand properly, human. Which means this tart belongs to someone like me, who utilized both my brain and my muscles.
Jack: Not only have I been helping with these tasks, but I’ve also been practicing for the show. So I’m even hungrier than usual.
Jack: Besides, I’m not used to wearing high heels and being forced to walk and pose like this…
Riddle: I’m sure. You need to be able to grasp how to walk beautifully in heels. If you are trying to learn how in a short period of time, it’s no wonder you are struggling.
Riddle: However, from what little I was able to watch earlier, you seem to be getting the hang of it. You’ve all been working hard.
Ace: If you wanna praise someone for working hard, I’m the one who got everyone here together to work on this, you know.
Ace: Well, there’s also some people who just came on their own, though.
Deuce: Hey, don’t say that like you’re the only one doing stuff! We’re all working together to solve this situation.
Epel: Yeah. But the one who is working the hardest is…
Ortho: Hmm… Should I look over the drone’s tracking ability once more…?
Ortho: I’ll also adjust the automatic video streaming program as well. Also…
???:Do you have a moment?
Ortho: Riddle Rosehearts-san! What can I help you with?
Riddle: I heard from Ace and the others. So, you’ve been working by yourself to put together all of the equipment for the show, I see.
Riddle: You have a large quantity of machines here. If it were me, I’m sure I would be up all night reading through all of the basic operational manuals.
Riddle: Your skills are something to behold.
Ortho: Ehehe. I’m happy for the praise, but this is nothing.
Ortho: If I had more time to prepare, I could project these illusions all throughout campus, and not just be limited to inside the botanical gardens.
Riddle: All throughout campus? Really? That is amazing. I cannot fathom that at all.
Ortho: When you say things like that, it makes me want to show it off even more.
Ortho: It would be a little difficult to do right now, but… I’ll think up an illusion that will amaze you, Riddle-san, you can count on it.
Riddle: You’ve already amazed me enough.
Riddle: All of the first years gathered here have all been highly praising your abilities.
Ortho: All of them?
Riddle: Indeed. And they’re not only speaking of your skills, but also for the fact that you have been putting forth the greatest effort…
Ortho: I see… Everyone’s talking about me…
Ortho: Well, it’s only natural for me to do all I can. After all, this is a serious ordeal for the school.
Ortho: Ignihyde is basically a sauna, and because of that, the HP gauges of both my brother and the rest of my dormmates are all in the red…
Ortho: I’m sure everyone in the other dorms also have their hands full with their own unexpected issues as well, right?
Riddle: That’s true… The students in my dorm have also been taking turns to make sure our rose trees don’t wilt, and our animals don’t get sick.
Ortho: If I can solve all those problems, then I’ll basically be the hero of the school!
Ortho: And above all, Vil Schoenheit-san said that there was no other person that embodies the theme “evolution” other than me…
Ortho: When I got selected for a position like this, of course I couldn’t help but get excited.
Riddle: Unlike how Ace and Jack were reluctant when they were nominated for this position by their Dorm Leaders… Here you are, standing tall.
Ortho: …That’s because this is a first for me.
Riddle:Eh?

[Gymnasium]
Ortho: Yep, the adjustments for my body and the beacons are done. Now, all that’s left is…
Deuce: Ortho, we’ve set up the equipment like you asked.
Epel: Sorry to keep you waiting. We also got all the stuff you asked us to bring.
1: It was so heavy…
2: Is this all you need?
Ortho: Thank you! I was just thinking about moving on to the next step.
Deuce: What’s the next step?
Ortho: The projection mapping rehearsal!
Ortho: I wanted to make some final adjustments, so that I can raise the accuracy of the “illusion camouflage.”
Sebek: Yes, you can never be too careful… That is a good attitude to have.
Ace: Why are you the one who’s acting all proud here…?
Jack: Yeah, but this really is quite an incredible spectacle to see.
Jack: There’s a ton of lights, some cameras and monitors, and an enormous screen…
Epel: And finally, just as you asked, Ortho-kun, we collected as many colored clothes as we could from the guys in our dorms…
Grim: We ain’t got any idea what you want all this for, though.
Ortho: Ehehe. Well first, can I have you two, Ace Trappola-san and Jack Howl-san, change into these clothes?
Jack/Ace: Eh!? Is this…?
Ace: I thought we were going to be rehearsing for the fashion show… Why’re you makin’ us change into our P.E. uniform?
Jack: Seriously. 'Cause our outfits for the stage are super delicate, we have to be super careful taking it off, too, y'know…
Ortho: I’m sorry. In order to make the illusion a success, I want to test out many different patterns.
Ortho: Especially since we won’t know the color of the dress that the Fairy Queen will be wearing tomorrow.
Jack: The color of her dress? Is that related to the mission somehow?
Ortho: Of course it is! It’s not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important concern to succeed in this illusion.
Epel: R-really!? But, what do you mean by “the most important concern”?
Ortho: Ehehe. I think it’ll be faster if I showed you rather than explain.
Ortho: Everybody, watch the screen!
[screen turns on]
Epel: The image projected on the screen is… The Fairy Gala venue?
Deuce: It totally looks real. Not just the trees and flowers, but if you look closely, you can also see birds and butterflies flying around.
Jack: If I listen closely, I can even hear the birds chirping and their wings flapping… It’s like we’re really there.
Ortho: Don’t be too surprised just yet. We still have to perform the illusion.
Ace: …Oh. I think I know what you’re trying to do, Ortho.
Ortho: Really? Okay, then, I’ll ask you to stand in front of the screen, Ace-san.
Ace:Okaaay.
Deuce: Seeing Ace in his P.E. uniform against the backdrop of the Fairy Gala venue… I gotta admit, it’s kinda surreal…
Ortho: Please keep your eyes on Ace-san. Here we go… 1, 2, 3!
[activates illusion program]
Deuce/Jack/Grim: ACE DISAPPEARED!?
Ace: Ooh, did it go well?
Sebek: …We can’t see Ace’s body, but I can hear his voice. What is going on!?
Sebek: …… Wait, AAAAAAAH!? It’s a m-monster… There’s a monster without an upper body strutting around!!
Ortho: Sebek Zigvolt-san. Thank you very much for the expected reaction. I’m pleased you’re surprised.
Ortho: Haah, it looks like it still needs a few adjustments. I’m going to turn off the light and videos off for a moment.
[turns off projection]
Ace: What’s wrong, Sebek? That’s such a miserable-looking face. Ah, let me guess… You were so frightened that your knees almost gave out?
Sebek: ABSOLUTELY NOT! I WAS JUST STARTLED BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME LEGS WALKING AROUND BY THEMSELVES!
Epel: I was surprised too… Hey, Ortho-kun. Can you explain what just happened?
Ortho: Yes, of course. Tomorrow, we will be performing an illusion that will make the Fairy Queen disappear.
Ortho: And just now, I activated the program assuming that the queen would be wearing the color red.
Ortho: That is why his top half with the red shirt was able to blend into the background, but…
Ortho: But all the other colors, like the black portions of the sportswear, didn’t really work well with Ace-san’s movements…
Sebek: How bizarre…! But if left like this, the whole venue will be in pandemonium!
Ortho: Yep. That’s why I want the program to instantly adapt to whatever color or material the dress is made out of.
Sebek: …I see. So that is the reason why you had us collect a plethora of different colored clothes.
Ortho: I’m glad you’re able to understand quickly.
Ortho: So, that’s why I was hoping I’d be able to enlist all your help with the preliminary testing and any remedial tasks. Can I ask that of you all?
1: Of course!
2: We’ll definitely succeed!
Deuce/Ace/Epel:YEAH!
Ortho: Hmm… In order for it to look completely transparent, I think I want to decrease the latency of the projected image a little more…
Ortho: Ace-san, can you try walking at a speed of 2.78 kilometers per hour this time?
Ace: I don’t understand when you say “per hour” like that! You want me to go faster? Or slower?
Ace: But anyway, how about we take a break soon? I’m so tired from changing my clothes and moving around so much…
Jack: I agree. My eyes are hurting from staring at the monitor for so long…
1: Grim got bored and went to sleep already.
2: I’m kind of zoning out…
Ortho: We can’t take a break like this! The show is tomorrow…
Ace: Hmmm, yeah, but…
???:Excuse me. May I have a moment?

Summon Line: Fairies and humans are alike in that each person has their individual personalities. At least, it was that way in Briar Valley.
Groooovy!!: I shall help the show be a success. That is my mission.
Home: I wonder if I look enough like a fairy.
Home Idle 1: Vil-senpai plaited my bangs up. It has opened my field of vision, so it should be very helpful in my training as well. I would like to learn how to set it later.
Home Idle 2: When Ortho saw me in this outfit, he said I looked like a prince from a fairy tale. Does that mean he believes I look like Malleus-sama?
Home Idle 3: Sebek warned me, saying that as one of Lilia-senpai’s disciples, I should not allow even a single stain on this white outfit. How like him to encourage me like that.
Home Idle - Login: We will definitely succeed in our mission. Only then will peace be restored to our campus.
Home Idle - Groovy: These decorative flowers on my shoulders and the top of my head are quite beautiful. …What is my favorite flower? I don’t particularly have one. Every flower has its own charm.
Home Tap 1: Although the outfit is extremely glamourous, it is quite easy to move around in. I’ve taken quite the liking to it, especially these boots. In case of emergency, I can use the heel as a weapon.
Home Tap 2: In order to protect everyone taking part in this mission, I must stay focused. I will make the most of my daily training.
Home Tap 3: Walking in order to specifically captivate others, hm… This is difficult. And here I thought I was proficient enough in physical movements.
Home Tap 4: Back in Briar Valley, fairies that have wings would often fly in tandem with each other. It seemed like so much fun, that when I was a child, I had wanted to be just like them.
Home Tap 5: …Hm? Oh, you prepared a towel for me. Perfect timing, I was sweating from practicing for the show. I thank you.
Home Tap - Groovy: Am I not nervous to perform before a large group? Why, is there some relation between one’s ability to perform and the number of people that are watching?

Summon Line: It’s kind of thrilling to be in disguise and sneak in somewhere. I’ll definitely make sure we succeed in our mission!
Groooovy!: I’ll display my very best illusions now! Here I go… 1, 2, 3!
Home: Ehe, don’t I look amazing?
Home Idle 1: They say that the key to improving one’s design sense is to get constant feedback. Hey, do you want to hang out with me sometime soon?
Home Idle 2: There isn’t that much data available when it comes to fairies. Since we’re getting this opportunity, I want to collect as much information as possible.
Home Idle 3: If you want to know more about flowers or butterflies, you can ask me. I can give you more detailed information than any regular old reference book.
Home Idle - Login: Retrofit complete. The fairy imitation attachment “Fairy Gear” will be activated.
Home Idle - Groovy: Do you like this design? I have some spares of these flower parts, so you can match with me if you want!
Home Tap 1: Riddle-san really does know all of the Queen of Hearts’ laws by heart, doesn’t he? Heh, maybe he has a memory card installed.
Home Tap 2: When I handed Grim-san a flower, he immediately ate it. All I wanted was him to say it was pretty…
Home Tap 3: This gear has a function to release fragrances. That’s because I heard from Jack-san that scent is also necessary for a perfect imitation.
Home Tap 4: It’s a nice change of pace to create a Gear outfit based on appearances rather than practicality. Ehe, maybe this is where my sense of fashion awakens!
Home Tap 5: Of course, these wings can’t actually help me fly. But, if I link my flight system to match the movements of the wings, then I can make it look like it does!
Home Tap - Groovy: All these things I’ve experienced here, like chatting with friends, or working together to accomplish a goal… Is this what the “springtime of youth” is all about?
Duo:
[ORTHO]: They’re not a match for us, Silver-san!
[SILVER]: I hardly recognized you, Ortho.

Groooovy!!: Alright, ladies and gentlemen! Don’t blink or you’ll miss it. Make sure you watch until the end!
Home: You better say this looks good on me.
Home Idle 1: These sleeves aren’t really good for magic tricks ‘cause I can’t hide anything in them. Eh, guess it’s alright 'cause I won’t be using any of my tricks in this show.
Home Idle 2: I kinda thought the all-white outfits would be pretty boring. Maybe it’s 'cause of the embroidery and the accessories, but it kinda actually looks good.
Home Idle 3: A little bit ago, a wild butterfly was hovering around my flower crown. Maybe it thought the fake butterflies were its friends?
Home Idle - Login:I’ll get this mess all sorted in a flash. You can totally count on my help!
Home Idle - Groovy: Whaddya think, how do I look in my outfit? …Hey you, stop laughing through your praise!
Home Tap 1: I wonder if they’re gonna be serving some food during the festivities? Oh, nah, I was just curious what kind of food those palm-sized fairies eat.
Home Tap 2: I’ve practiced magic tricks with my dad and older brother since I was little, so I’m pretty confident with my skills～
Home Tap 3: At breakfast, I used sleight of hand magic to make Deuce’s egg disappear. He was freaking out so much, it was hilarious!
Home Tap 4: I heard that Silver-senpai has a tendency to nod off abruptly. …He definitely wouldn’t fall asleep in the middle of our mission, right?
Home Tap 5: Oh yeah, yeah! Crewel-sensei’s little personal touches are all over this outfit, even down to the little feathers embroidered onto the back!
Home Tap - Groovy: You wanna help? Then go ahead and massage my shoulders as a reward for all my hard work. 'Kay, keep going for 30 minutes now―

Home Tap 1: Those fairies with wings sure are fast. I want to see who’s faster; my flight skills or theirs!
Home Tap 2: Urgh… Crap! The heels on these shoes are so high that it’s hard to keep my balance. It’s hard enough just to stand up straight!

【 glittering desires】
author’s note: here we go, this is the homage to the fact that fairy gala leona actually came home :’))) look this card is pretty but it was also pretty expensive haha- also we don’t talk abt how fast i wrote this after i got the inspo… anyways. i hope you have fun reading this bc i sure had fun writing it !
characters: gn! prefect, leona kingscholar
word count:1.6k
tags:leona is a bully /lh, your honor this man is madly in love, no bc he’s so mushy and for what ??, he’s 100% whipped, bc he’s leona there’s banter, he sees the prefect and he’s like “wow sparkly…i love them…” that’s it, that’s the fic.
When he woke up from his nap, it was to the sound of their voice. At first, he thought it was his mind playing tricks on him; giving him dreams that were too far out of his reach. Dreams spun of laughter that were far too sweet to ever be fully his. Mere fantasies that Leona couldn’t even believe in, let alone grasp.
And it was annoying how often he found himself dreaming of them lately. Especially after this stupid, annoying task that the damn crow assigned them. So he grunted, pressing his eyes shut further; hoping that the image of them would finally disappear.
That was until he felt the tug on his leg, “Leo~na? Are you still asleep? Geez, how did you even make it up there?”
Ah. That was the real them, wasn’t it?
Weighted eyelids eased open, watching as they clambered up the tree to get to him. He made no attempt to move; keeping his tail as still as he could. Instead, he watched— thoroughly amused— as they huffed, finally managing to haul themself onto a nearby branch.
He chose that moment to finally speak, “Crewel’s gonna flip if you get that dirty.”
Their shoulders jolted, “ Sevens– How long have you been awake for?”
“Just now,” Leona yawned, giving his neck a stretch. “What’re you doing here?” He watched with unease as they situated themself on the branch. He reached for his magic pen, just in case.
“I was looking for you,” They chuckled lightly. “Vil-senpai was flipping his lid over you escaping while he wasn’t looking. He asked me to look for you.”
“And?” Leona had to thank Vil for this opportunity. It wasn’t often that he got time alone with them. “Did he think a herbivore like you could take me back there?”
“Stop being childish,” They tutted, and the decorations on their clothes clinked as they moved. “You know Vil-senpai’s only being harsh because we don’t have much time. And besides, you’re the centerpiece of our show.”
“Damn right I am,” Leona said, infusing his words with arrogance as a ploy. “And this star needs some rest from that guy’s tyranny.”
“C'mon, I’ll accompany you back and watch your practice,” They bargained, holding out a hand. And Leona considered it for a moment. Having them there would be better than not having them there. But that kind of deal was too easy.
He raised a brow, “You think that’s gonna work?”
“Mmm, Ruggie-senpai told me to try it out,” There was a foolish smile on their face. It made Leona look away; frustrated from how unaware they were. “Guess he was wrong.”
“‘Course he was.”
“So then how will I get this great and mighty Leona-sama back to the practice rooms?” A hand was placed exaggeratedly on their chin.
Leona jumped down before they could say another word. It was better to let them trip over themselves to think of how to repay him. After all, the person who wants something is always at a disadvantage. They just had more to lose.
He brushed off his pants, untangling the sash before sparing them a glance, “You coming?”
“Wh- it took me five minutes to get up here-! Hey, don’t leave without me!” Leona paused. His sharp eyes didn’t miss a glint in the grass, pocketing the item as he waited. His ears twitched slightly, making sure that they didn’t just face-plant on the ground.
A moment later and they were next to him, complaining all the while, “Why are you suddenly…no, this is a good thing. But–”
“Just changed my mind,” The corner of his lips twitched at their blatant disbelief. “What? Even stubborn lions can change their minds sometimes.”
They made it into the hallways of Pomefiore before they spoke again, “I’m still trying to figure out your angle.”
“There’s no angle,” Leona said, and their eyes narrowed at him like he was crazy.
“Ah wait,” They stopped in their tracks, patting down their front. “I almost forgot about this.” In their hands were the…weeds that Leona had in his hair. Crewel and Vil had called it an “avant-garde masterpiece of a hair accessory” but really, it looked like a weed to Leona.
“Go and sit,” They tilted their head towards the throne in the center of the Pomefiore lounge.
He scoffed, “No way. There’s literally a normal chair right there.”
And him? Sitting on that shiny excuse of a throne? The very one Vil sat on? Definitely not. Even if a small part of him longed for a throne of his own, that…thing was no throne. It was a toy for make-believe at best.
They tugged at his arm, “Come on, I bet everyone wants to sit in that at least once.” Their eyes met his; twinkling mischievously, “Are you scared someone will see? Everyone’s at their clubs right now.”
“Fucking– just…do it quick,” He grumbled, settling onto the velvet plushness of the so-called throne.
His mouth pressed into a firm line as they drew closer, trepidation crawling under his skin. Their fingers brushed through his hair lightly at first. Then gaining confidence, till they were combing through the brown strands thoroughly.
As they leaned in closer, he watched as they eclipsed the brightness of the chandelier; basking him in their shadow. They were close enough that Leona could smell the scent of flowery perfume clinging onto their clothes; no doubt courtesy of Vil.
They weren’t looking at him. No, they were far too focused on his hair. It was a good thing, really. Because if they were looking at him…well, Leona wouldn’t know how they would react.
Emerald eyes traced over their features: the concentrated crease of their brows, the curve of their cheek, and the length of their nose. The slightest part of their lips, the slow rise and fall of their shoulders almost lulling him into a sense of calm. He clutched at the chair, trying to ward off his observations to no avail.
Sevens, he wanted to kiss them. So badly. But he couldn’t. Not here, and definitely not now. And not when he knew there was a big chance that they would never see him the same.
Instead, he reached a hand up, brushing firmly at their shoulder. That caused them to flinch in surprise, their gaze finally meeting his. His lips parted; throat feeling oddly dry, “There was somethin’ there.”
“Oh,” Their eyes darted to his hand and back. “I think that might be glitter. Grim spilled a whole bunch of it on me earlier.”
“Glitter,” He repeated. “That’s why you’re so…shiny.” He tried to ignore the halo of light that wrapped around the crown of their head, making them a monarch in their own right. Even if all they ruled over was his heart.
“You say that like you aren’t shining yourself, Mr. Centerpiece,” There was one last touch to their hair before they finally pulled back. Leona breathed out a long sigh of relief. “And done. Now it doesn’t look like you rolled around in the bushes.”
“Hah. As if that guy won’t grill me anyway for disappearing,” He stood up, trying to get the feeling back in his fingers from how hard he was gripping the chair. “C'mon, lead the way.”
“You say that like you haven’t been going there every day for this past week.” They say that. They say that and yet they still held his sleeve as they lead the way.
“’M not a kid, herbivore,” Leona said, though he made no move to brush them off. Rather, he enjoyed the sight of them leading him for once.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m trying to make sure you don’t decide to slip away again,” They said as they reached the room. “Now go and accept your fate. Running away is futile at this point.” He stepped in front of them, reluctant to enter the room.
“Hey,” He waited till they were finally looking at him again. He wanted to say a simple 'thank you’. That was what you said to people who you wanted to thank, right?
But what came out instead was, “You almost lost this.” He pulled out the thing he had pocketed earlier. One of their bracelets. He could hazard a guess as to how they dropped it; probably during their earlier tree climbing.
They searched their wrists, eyes wide, “That’s…one of my bracelets.”
“Good of you to notice,” Leona slipped it onto his own wrist. “Come find me after my practice is over 'n I’ll give it back. You owe me, alright herbivore?”
“So there was a catch,” He heard them mutter to themself. “Bastard.”
His tail was high in the air as he lumbered into the practice room from hell. Kalim was in the corner doing squats, for some reason. And Vil was focused on Jamil. Though he was sure that Vil didn’t miss his entrance. Leona took his place near one of the windows, heaving a sigh as he cast a spell to fill the vases with water.
Well, he had to say it was worth the trouble this time. After he finished his laps and tuned in for a lecturing by Vil, he had a, mm, meeting with the herbivore. Their bracelet made a light clink as he started his first lap. Leona felt a smile slowly suffuse his usually-indifferent expression. Ah, he really couldn’t wait after all.
