#union birthday
Coffin summon quote: It’s the day of the year where it’s my birthday, huh. I sure hope I can spend today without any boredom.
Card reveal quote: Hey lil’ shrimpy, don’t you have something to say to me? But I’m already tired of hearing the same ol’ “Happy Birthday”.
Groovy: As for today’s celebration… I guess I’m somewhat satisfied—. Can I look forward to next year’s?
Home Setting: I’m gonna go and collect my presents.
Home Transition 1: Lookie, I got a pair of super red socks. Lil’ guppy gave me these as my present~ I wonder which shoes can I go with these socks.
Home Transition 2: I requested my dorm members to sing me a birthday song. Their rhythm was all over the place, it made me laughed
Home Transition 3: Azul said “Try not to go too far just because it’s your birthday.” That wasn’t very persuasive of him since he handed me this present.
Home Transition (Login Greeting): Hey lil’ shrimpy, do you wanna see my room? I can’t carry all these presents by myself so I’ll let you help me.
Home Transition (After Groovy): When lil’ mackerel was driving the magical wheel around the curve, we were cornering so hard that we’re scraping the ground. That got a perfect score for the thrill and it was super fun!
Home Tap 1: The birthday outfit was already decided for each dorm but we can pick any shoes for the outfit. I chose to wear sneakers but leather shoes might’ve been good too~
Home Tap 2: Lil’ sea urchin bought snacks for me~ He said he didn’t get anything for me so I had to bring him all the way to the store.
Home Tap 3: Senior beta fish gave me a stole and even taught me how to wear them in different styles… It’ll be great to use it to squeeze others.
Home Tap 4: You want something? If you’re here to congratulate me, go ahead, feel free to do it 2 or 3 times more.
Home Tap 5: Hmmm, you sure brought a fancy drink here. Not like I’m in the mood for it though.
Home Tap (Groovy): Jade and I took a picture of us covered in cream and sent it to our old man and mama. We got a pretty good reply from them.
Duo Magic:
Floyd: Birthdays are great, aren’t they, lil mackerel?
Deuce: I’ll celebrate it with all my might, senior Leech!
Birthday Login message: Thanks for to celebrating my birthday, lil shrimpyー Lookie, I got a ton of presents too. Huh? As if I forcibly nabbed this from others. There’s a trick to it, you see. I’ll let you in on it as a treat. Just say, “It’s my birthday today you know. You do have something to give me…right?” and everyone will have something for you so go ahead and try it out.

Octavinelle Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Deuce: Then, onto the next question. “If you were to join a dorm aside from Octavinelle, which dorm would you choose? “
Floyd: If it’s a dorm besides Octavinelle, probably Savanaclaw. They go by the stronger the better. It’s so simple it’s great isn’t it? If there’s someone annoying, won’t they shut up once you show them your true strength?
Deuce: The quickest way to talk to each other is indeed through our fist.
Floyd: Ahah, it seems like you understand too. You would rather join Savanaclaw, don’t you, lil’ mackerel?
Deuce: Oh no, I do think that being in Heartslabyul is great.
Floyd: Eh~ For reals? I’ll get bored obeying those funky laws so I can’t handle it at all. I couldn’t care less about each and every mice behavior and I’ll eat whenever I’m hungry. Ah, but doesn’t it depends on the dorm leader on duty at that time whether or not to obey the laws? Then, if the Dark Mirror assigned me to Heartslabyul… Wouldn’t I have already squeezed lil’ goldfish tightly and become the dorm leader…?
Deuce: Don’t you think there’s no way that could happen? Please do not look down on our head.
Floyd: Ahaha~ Looks like you’ve been trained well. Speaking of discipline, Pomefiore might be just as bad~ Those dorm students over there moves and gathers around like sardines… It feels super cramped just by looking at it from the side. Not only is senior fighting fishie knowledgeable in makeup and clothing, he’s also strong, which I think is cool, but… If we’re in the same dorm together, I’d probably have to correct my posture, clothing and strength. Just thinking about it makes me avoid this option. Azul will warn me about those but I can do as I please as long as no one can see me.
Deuce: It’s true that dorm leader Rosehearts is strict about etiquette… but Pomefiore is one step above when it comes to clothing.
Floyd: They’re both pretty much the same to be. In the end, I’m the most comfortable in Octavinelle so it’s the best for me.
Deuce: That’s the end of the interview. The next thing would be…
Floyd: It’s time for the “Gift of Fortune”. Say lil’ mackerel, aren’t you afraid since it’s me we’re talking about?
Deuce: Not at all. Even if you’re my senior, I won’t hold back.
Floyd: I see, you got some nerves there. Good, come at me whenever you’re ready.
Deuce: Without holding back and any further ado,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FLOYD LEECH!!!

Part 2
Octavinelle Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Deuce: Alright, let’s start the interview!
Floyd: Ok~ I’m in a good mood now so I’ll answer your questions.
Deuce: “If you were to choose from the Night Raven College student body, who would you like as a sibling?” However the student can not be from the same dorm as you… it seems.
Floyd: Hmnmm… Huh, A sibling other than Jade. I never thought about wanting more siblings… If it’s a younger brother, then lil’ crabby seems like a good pick.
Deuce: Lil’ crabby… I-Isn’t that Ace?!
Floyd: Yup. I mean, lil mackerel, didn’t you ask lil’ crabby for his opinion when you were picking out my present? Sometimes he would buy my favorite bread from the store, so he looks like he understands me quite a bit.
Deuce: *whispers to himself* Buying him a bread… That’s just senior Leech forcefully nabbing the bread from Ace…
Floyd: Huh, did you just say something?
Deuce: No, I didn’t say anything! But are you really sure for choosing him, he can’t say anything nice, lacks charm and is selfish though…
Floyd: I’m not even asking for a charming kid. Just because you’re siblings doesn’t mean you always have to stick around together. Lil’ crabby always goes into a passionate talk about shoes and clothes during our break time in the Basketball club.
Deuce: Hoh… He does talk about wanting new clothes and basketball shoes in the our dorm and classroom.
Floyd: Just a while back, we saw that they were having this limited edition basketball shoe and so I said with anticipation: “How I wish someone who give me these pair of shoes as my birthday present.”
Deuce: That’s… the first time I heard about this.
Floyd: What… how useless. If only he told you about something I want rather that something I like, that would be way better. Welp, that’s something lil’ crabby would do. He has the smarts but he’ll goof up at the final step. There was a teammate who performed a shabby pass during a basketball game a while ago. So I squeezed a ton of lemon juice into his sports drink, in hopes that he could release his willpower and determination. At that time, lil’ crabby passed by me and he asked with a grin on his face if I would pass it to him.
Deuce: That guy… can’t believe he would join in on a prank even during club activities.
Floyd: So I said it’s up to him and passed him the drink nonchalantly since it’s out of my hands now. And the prank was a huge success. After that, he looked at me with a face written with “What’s next?”. He expected me to follow him up with it, but I never made that promise with him. I mean, he did it all by himself, didn’t he?
Deuce: So what happened in the end?
Floyd: Coach lobster came back to see a fuss being kicked up, so he was sentence to 100 sit-ups. He screamed like a washed up grey seal. Those naïve parts of lil’ crabby is what makes him interesting. So I think he would be great as a younger brother. I definitely don’t want to be brothers with a boring guy.

Part 1
Octavinelle Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Floyd: Ahhh.. I’m so hungry. I have to go to the party venue now, seems like they prepared takoyaki today. Ahh well, I heard that the presenter chosen by the “Magical Birthday Dice” will bring good fortune… It would be great if something fun happens… like someone suuuper interesting will come, or receiving a rare gift.
???: Excuse me. I came here for the interview. I, Deuce Spade, will serve you as your presenter. Happy Birthday, senior Leech!
Floyd: Huh, what…. so it’s lil’ mackerel…
Deuce: It seems like senior Leech isn’t quite happy… No, it’s more like he’s tension suddenly dropped…
Floyd: Cause it feels like I drew a blank… You look like you’ll pick out a normal present… Well, gotta accept what’s given… Come on and hand it over.
Deuce: Here you go… I’m not sure if you’ll like it but it took a lot of careful considerations before picking it for you…
Floyd: Huh? What’s this flimsy envelope? Is it some gift vouchers? It’s gonna be hella funny if it’s a letter for me.
Deuce: No way! If you have anything to say, open it up first before you do it.
Floyd: Yeah yeah, let me see~~…
*opens envelope*
Floyd: It’s a ticket for “Tag along on a drive on the Magical Wheel”? Magical Wheel… Isn’t that the nautilus shell-like thing that you guys ride on land? Hah, this is really amusing. You’re really a small fry. Hey lil’ mackerel, didn’t you say this present took a lot of your considerations?
Deuce: Uhhh, yes… Ace said that you really like amusing things, so… That’s why I decided to give you a drive on the Magical Wheel, since it’s something I find the funnest.
Floyd: Huh~~. I never rode a MagiWheel before, is it that fun?
Deuce: Of course! To enjoy the scenery flowing by and to be able to feel like the wind… It feels really good!
Floyd: Though I’ve never seen that vehicle reaching to a speed that fast… But if it’s true, it does sound fun. I might wanna try this MagiWheel asap.
Deuce: There’s the party after this interview, so we can’t go on a ride after this. But if there’s a day where you’re free from any appointments, you can hope on behind me and we’ll go for a ride. I’ve already found a good route for this.
Floyd: I see. So I can have you bring me on a MagiWheel ride “whenever and no matter what” huh~
Deuce: EH?!
Floyd: I mean, it says here on the ticket that “Tag along on a drive on the Magical Wheel” . Basic terms and conditions such as “one time use” or “validity period” are nowhere to be found on the ticket. Not to mention, it never says it only applies to the person who receives it… I might as well lend this to Jade~ He’s also Senior Leech to you, you know?
Deuce: Uwegh… I-I never thought about that far when I made that ticket…
Floyd: You have to be careful when making documents, you know. This ticket is still a form of contract too.
Deuce: Fine… The fault lies in me this time… I’ll bring you along for a drive, be it 2 or even 3 times! I’d be glad if you got hooked on Magical Wheels.
Floyd: Ahah, you really said it, lil’ mackerel. You better not regret those words, you know? Anyways, I’m looking forward to our first drive~
Coffin summon quote: Thanks for coming over to celebrate my birthday. I hope you enjoy the party.
Card reveal quote: It’s going to be very lively today. The best present for me would be a peaceful birthday without any troubles…
Groovy: Everyone’s so merry and in high spirits even though it isn’t a gala, but it should be fine for today, right? Let’s enjoy while it last!
Home Setting: Casual wear is great, isn’t it?
Home Transition 1: I think Kalim wanted to gift me some dried fruits and said he’ll ask his dorm members to bring them here… just how much is he planning to give me?
Home Transition 2: I think I’ve improved a lot in my cake making skills… but I still can’t match the birthday cakes my parents made.
Home Transition 3: I received a science magazine from one of my clubmates. It came with an interesting appendix so I’m going to read it slowly during my next break.
Home Transition (Login Greeting): Everyone seems to be having fun… I can’t believe my birthday is being celebrated so grandly. I’m embarrassed, but happy.
Home Transition (After Groovy):The cap that Epel chose as my birthday present received many praises from my fellow dormmates. I might be able to expand my outfit coordination with this.
Home Tap 1: Riddle and Cater called our dormmates out to bake cookies for me. There’s plenty around so be sure to eat some.
Home Tap 2: There’s a sweet scent around? Oh, it’s the aroma candle that Vil gave me. It seems that the scent of vanilla has a calming effect.
Home Tap 3: “Looks like you are one step closer to adulthood”…I never thought I’d hear a line like that from my batchmate, Malleus.
Home Tap 4: The back of this jacket is embroidered in different colors depending on the dorms. Maybe one of these days I’ll try making a cake that looks the same.
Home Tap 5: Is there anything you want me to do? Well… Stop worrying about these things too much, just treat me like you always do.
Home Tap (Groovy): I though the pie throw would be that bad from the presenter’s POV but… I guess I got caught off-guard.
Duo Magic:
Trey: So you’re wishing me Happy Birthday too huh, Epel.
Epel: Happy Birthday, Trey!
Birthday Login message: Could it be that you’re here to celebrate my birthday as well? Thanks. What do I want as a present…? I’m fine with anything. Hey, I’m not saying that just for the sake of replying you. I’m glad that you’ve taken the thought of me into consideration when picking out the present.

Chapter 1
Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Trey: It’s finally my turn, huh…. For the birthday interview. I wonder who did the Magical Dice choose as the presenter. I would be grateful if the chosen person isn’t someone who is too over the top
???: Ummm… Excuse me.
Epel: Happy Birthday, Trey. I’m your presenter, Epel Felmier.
Trey: Ohh, thank goodness. So Epel got chosen as the presenter for my birthday. I will be in you care today.
Epel: You’re welcome. This is… your present. I hope you accept it.
Trey: Thank you. Then, let’s open it right away. Oh, it’s a black cap with lots of patches and embroidery. That’s kinda fancy. Though I wonder why there’s a bright red apple patch on it… Don’t you think it’s a bit too flashy for me?
Epel: It’s not like that… at al! You have a good few feets tall so it would definitely look good on you! [TL notes: Epel used a word to describe heights usually meant for buildings. I think it might be part of the characteristic that he sometimes leak out his dialect.]
Trey: Few feets tall? I’m sure Epel usually talks politely in a gentle manner…
I might have misheard that.
Epel: I was looking for your present at the street near the foothill with a friend the other day. And then Deuce lead me to this shop that had really cool products!
Trey: Ohh, so Deuce also help picked the present.
Epel: Yes! Deuce told me that you really like hats. The hat with spiky studs and the hat with flaming motifs embroidery were shortlisted as your gifts but…The price were over the budget when I looked at it closer…
Trey: I-is that so…. It’s kind of surprising that you chose a hat with spiky studs and a hat with flaming motifs embroidery… Anyways, the fact that you’ve chosen this is because you think it suits me. It was hard trying to pick a present for a third year when you don’t know their interest, not to mention someone from another dorm, right? Thank you for taking your time to choose a present for me. I usually dress in casual wear, so this cap will give a nice touch in accent.
Epel: Fufu. I figured that it would fit well as an accent colour for Heartslabyul’s Union Jacket!
Trey: I see…. Then I shall wear this cap and enjoy the whole day.
Epel: Sweet! You look super cool in it! It gives off a bad boy vibes on you!!
Trey: Bad boy vibes…?? Haha… Thanks. *whispers* Is he praising me…?
Chapter 2
Epel: Well, we’ll move on to the interview next. The first question is…. If you were to bring along one person to a deserted island, who would it be? However, you cannot choose someone of the same dorm… it seems.
Trey: A deserted island huh… I did go camping with my family when I was back home… I have no confidence in my survival skills since I’m born and bred in the Kingdom of Rose. I would choose someone with a lot of survival experience and who can cooperate easily with me.
Epel: Someone who can cooperate easily… So do you mean… someone who is serious and doesn’t have a bad personality?
Trey: That’s not always the case. There are people that is difficult in reaching a mutual understanding even when they have a great personality, right? That’s why I would rather pick someone who is easy to talk to and is able to laugh and brush off their partner’s mistakes. So taking into consideration of all these points…. I would probably choose Rook.
Epel: Ehhh, Rook?!?!
Trey: Yeah, we’re part of the Science club together. We’re both vice dorm leaders too so we have a lot in common.
Epel: Then… You do know that Rook is somewhat of a weird guy right?
You could have chose someone else…
Trey: Haha, you’re so harsh. Well, it is true that he always act beyond my imagination. A while ago when we were making dishes with the produce we grew from the Science Club… Rook dumped a whole pile of leaves which were usually unsuitable for consumption into the pot. That really shocked me.
Epel: He cooked a ton of inedible leaves?! H-how was it…?
Trey: Oh, the leaves are actually harmless, it’s just that they taste sort of bitter. What surprised me is that it actually brought the dish to a new a depth in flavour.
Trey: According to Rook, apparently if you cook them together with meat, it will remove its odor and bring out a rich flavour of the dish. He usually shares these sort of knowledge with me on a daily basis. Don’t you think he’s the best person to bring for a survival trip?
Epel: Now that you put it in this way… Maybe it’s just as you said…?
Trey: Right? He’s also the type of person who would never think about tricking nor exploiting others. Just as I said earlier, I’m not equipped with the right survival skills, I can only do normal people things, you know? I’ll leave Rook to make a breakthrough in escaping while I will be responsible for being the support in order to survive the deserted island. Besides edible plants, there is a good chance that Rook will bring back nutritious meat for us.
Epel: Meat is indeed important. After hearing about your account with Rook, somehow Rook seems a bit more dependable now… I think?
Trey: I’m glad to help improve Rook’s image. It’s true that he stands out alot due to his outlandish behaviours. When the time calls for it, he’s actually someone you can rely on.
Epel: Fufu. I see!
Chapter 3
Epel: Alright, I will go onto the next question. If you were to join a dorm aside from Heartslabyul, which dorm would you choose?
Trey: A dorm aside from Heartslabyul huh…That’s something that never crossed my mind.
Epel: Eh, for real?! Isn’t your dorm full of weird- I mean, strict rules?
Trey: Well, the mirror chose to put me in my dorm. Besides, no matter which dorm I join, there are hardships in the form of another.
Epel: Hmmm, you’re right…
Trey: But if I were to choose. Let’s see…. First of all, I would not join Savanaclaw.
Epel: Eh, even though it’s cool and wild?! Since you’ve got a great build (he thicc), you’ll look great in their dorm uniforms, I’m envious.
Trey: You’re actually interested in joining Savanaclaw? That’s nice, I cannot picture myself in it though. Doesn’t Savanaclaw values true/raw ability? I’m really bad at these sorts of competition. Well, that’s why my answer would be Octavinelle dorm.
Epel: Vil said that Octavinelle dorm members are cunning and untrustworthy. According to Ace and Deuce, you’re a kind person that looks after others…I think that you probably don’t fit well into Octavinelle dorm?
Trey: Those two… What have they been saying behind someone’s back. I’m happy that you think of me this way, but I’m not that nice of a guy, you know. The reason why I chose Octavinelle is no more than convenience.
Epel: What do you mean by that…?
Trey: Octavinelle values individualism. I’m under the impression that as long as their members take responsibility of their own work, all’s good. If I can show my confectionary making skills in Mostro Lounge, I can secure a position in Octavinelle in no time.
Epel: Now you mentioned it, you’re in charge of making tea party sweets in Heartslabyul right?
Trey: Yes. By the way, Octavinelle is different than Heartslabyul in a sense that there is a menu to follow with no other complicated rules. Another attractive point is that I can make sweets using seasonal fruits without considering the detailed rules set by the law. According to the Queen’s laws, there are many things that can affect the menu, such as the day of the week, the weather, the hedgehogs and the behaviour of a cat…
Epel: The day of the week and the weather can affect the menu?! It sounds like being a Heartslabyul dorm member is really tough…
Trey: That’s not always the case. It’s easier to have certain things set in place than to be told that one is free to decide on anything. For example… If someone asked what would they like to eat. And got a response that anything is fine. Don’t you think that the person will be troubled by it?
Epel: I think I kind of understand that…
Trey: Even if the rules are nonsense, as long as the peace in Heartslabyul is bound by the rules. Therefore my personality fits into Heartslabyul better. With that, the interview comes to an end right? The next thing will be…
Epel: Yes! It’s time to present the long awaited “Gift of good fortune”!
Trey: You’re really pumped, huh… Please hold back a little, Epel.
Epel: I will put my heart and soul with all my might and fulfill my greatest role as a presenter! Trey, are you sure you don’t want to take of your glasses?
Trey: Hey, hey….Don’t tell me you plan to throw with a force enough to do something to my frames, do you? I could tell from the conversation with Epel… that he is truly a Night Raven College student. I can’t avoid this. I’ll just have to get over with it. Fine, come right at me.
Epel: Well then, there I go. Happy Birthday, Trey!
