Your usual friends… You were just sad that Deuce, Yuu, and Grim weren’t there with you, right?
|
Ace
Ace
|
H…HAAAH!?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Oh, so Trappola was lonely.
You do seem to always be together with those three, so when I think about it, that makes sense.
|
Ace
Ace
|
That’s not it! They’re the ones who latched on to me, so I’m hanging out with them out of pity.
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
Oya, that’s strange. Last week, I saw you all shopping together at the school store…
Rather than saying that you were with them out of pity, you seemed to be enjoying yourself.
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
I, too, have seen you all together several times. For example…
|
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Oh, Hey! Grim, you just stole my omelet, didn’t you!?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Don’t be so stingy~! It’s your fault that you left it sitting there without touching it at all, yanno.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I was planning on eating it last, so I was saving it!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Okay, guys, calm down. You can eat my omelet.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Eh? Really?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Yeah. I just stole Yuu’s hamburger steak just a moment ago, so I’m full already.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Gyahaha! You shouldn’t let your guard down, Yuu!
|
|
Grim
Grim
|
Ah, shoot! Yuu stole the ball! Deuce, stop them!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Hey, Yuu! Pass, pass!
|
*ball gets passed, ball gets caught*
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
As if I’d let you get a three-pointer here!
|
Ace
Ace
|
You’re too… slow!
|
*ball goes into the basket*
|
Ace
Ace
|
Yep, too bad~! That’s three more points!
|
Grim
Grim
|
Ugh, Ace! You’re in the basketball club, so go a bit easier on us!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Hey Yuu, your pass wasn’t that bad either. What if you join the basketball club?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Urghhh~ …! That’s not fair, yanno! Let us team up 3 vs 1~!!
|
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Speaking of which… I’ve also seen you shopping together at the school store, or showing them your latest little magic tricks.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Like― I― Said― We’re just in the same class, there isn’t any deeper meaning than that.
Anyway, whose fault do they think it is that I’m feeling like this…?
Aaah, whatever! If you’re just going to say whatever you want, then I’m going to as well!
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Oh? About what?
|
Ace
Ace
|
About this whole thing. Maybe you wanted to have a party before Halloween was over, but…
You cast a powerful spell on the entire school so that we couldn’t leave, and then pretended to be possessed and attacked us.
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Aah, yes, that was all planned so that it would entertain everyone before the party began. Was it not fun?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Haah!? It was far from fun, it was super annoying, you know!?
You’re saying it was planned to entertain us, but even as a joke you went too far.
Even if you were trying to spring a surprise on us, please be aware of just how much of a powerful entity you are.
You’re “that” Malleus Draconia, right?
Us normal students can’t really compare to you. Seriously.
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
Hmm, perhaps we were a little too enthusiastic. Let’s be more careful next time. Right, Malleus?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Indeed. I shall defer to Trappola’s suggestion.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Next time… you mean you’re still going to try stuff like this? Please just stop already.
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
You know, I’m quite impressed. For you to complain straight to Malleus’s face like this.
|
Ace
Ace
|
It’s not really a complaint… more like a legitimate argument.
On top of all my classmates and upperclassmen disappearing one right after the other, we were sent to the Ghost World.
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
This one seems to have quite the backbone. Don’t you think so as well, Malleus?
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Indeed. A majority of the students at the school tend to give me a wide berth. There are many who run away just by catching a glimpse of me.
However, you came and spoke to me very bluntly about your thoughts.
I am not surprised that this is coming from a friend of the one who calls me Tsunotarō. How refreshing. Fufufu…
|
Ace
Ace
|
…Haah, I feel like somethings a bit off. I’m glad I didn’t make you mad, though.
I feel a bit better now that I got that off my chest so… I guess I’ll go off and have fun now―
|
Grim
Grim
|
Heeey! Ace, so this is where you were! Come over here!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Grim? Deuce and Yuu, too… What is it, all of a sudden?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Since we’re here, we thought we’d all dance together, but we can’t really make proper pairs with only the three of us, right?
If you’d join us, it would be perfect.
|
Come on, join us!
|
Let's dance together!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Aaah, fine. It can’t be helped. I guess I’ll join you guys.
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Seems like your friends have all appeared. Then, I shall go perform a song on the organ.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Then, since you’re doing that, I’d like to request a super lively one please!
|
Malleus
Malleus
|
Heh… I understand.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Aaanyway. Can you guys even dance?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Of course I can! I’m gonna show you my absolutely splendid dance steps, yanno!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yeah, I can at least dance, no problem. Watch me!
|
Ace
Ace
|
I’m not going to help you if you get too excited and you trip over your feet, y'know? Eh, whatever. Let’s go.
|
|
Happy Halloween!
