| Cafeteria - Wedding Ceremony | ||
Crowley  |
Well... today was a really rough day.
The ghosts left with the cafeteria still decorated for a wedding ceremony. How irresponsible. At this rate, we won't be able to dine in the cafeteria tomorrow. First years, clean up this "wedding hall" before returning to your dorms. | |
| Ehh~!? | ||
Ace  |
By first years you mean other than me and Epel, since we were on the tuxedo team right? | |
Crowley |
No, all of the first years. I am an educator who treats his students with equal fairness! | |
Epel  |
No way... | |
Ace |
Give me a break. I'm already beat from working too hard today. | |
Crowley |
Indeed, it was quite the ordeal. But that was one thing, this is another.
Young people are full of energy. Please be quick about it. | |
Grim  |
Hey, Yuu. Don't just stand there. Let's scram before the Headmaster notices. | |
Crowley |
Of course Yuu and Grim as well. | |
Grim |
Fnya! | |
Epel |
*Sigh* No matter how many of these ribbons on the wall I throw away there's just no end to them. | |
Grim |
I'm tryin' to peel this lace off but it just keeps getting stuck in my claws! | |
Ace |
This chair is massive. I wonder where they got it from... Hang on... this is a gravestone! Creepy! | |
| It feels neverending. | I want to hurry and go home. | |
Ortho  |
Cheer up everyone. I'll help to! | |
Ace |
Oh, c'mon! After I did all that work!
How much trouble do these ghosts need to cause before they are satisfied? 500 years was it? She's too persistent, staying obsessed over love for that long. The ghost vassals ticked me off too but I'll never understand that princess. If she gave up marriage and just learned to enjoy life on the other side I wouldn't have had to go through all this. | |
Epel |
...
Ace, wasn't there ever someone you liked before? | |
Ace |
Huh? What's with that all of a sudden? | |
Epel |
Saying things like she was too persistant or that you'll never understand... It's a little surprising coming from you.
Because you seem like you know a lot about love. | |
Ace |
You're trying to say I'm shallow aren't you? | |
Epel |
Th- That's not what I meant. | |
Grim |
There's no point in asking Ace about love. There's no way he gets it.
A mean and twisted guy like him could never be popular. | |
Ace |
Could you quit judging me?
Back in middle school I had a girlfriend who I went to amusement parks and movie theaters with. | |
Grim |
Wh- What!? You're so cocky! | |
Ortho |
Amusement parks and movie theaters? Every manual I search says those are go-to spots for a date in any era! | |
Epel |
Sharing love stories... It's fitting for a boys' high school.
Then what happened? | |
Ace |
Well...
Girls are scared of thrill rides so all we did was ride the merry-go-round or the ferris wheel. She was all happy taking Magicam photos and saying it was "cute" but I don't get how it was fun. Even with movies, all she wanted to watch was romance or something with animals. She was all like "No horror!". It was boring when we were together so I gradually stopped contacting her. | |
Epel |
I see. That's a little unfortunate... I guess. | |
Ace |
But the really crazy part was after that. What do you think happened when I started being just a little distant?
Suddenly one day, a group of girls who I didn't even know called me out. "Why don't you ever contact her?" "I feel sorry for her!" "She's been crying all this time!" "You're so ungrateful!" They went on lecturing me! What is it with girls and ganging up like that? Then it hit me. Love is just a pain! It's way more fun to just hang out with my guy friends. | |
Grim |
Ace, you're such a child. | |
Ace |
You're the one who probably knows the least about love here!
Anyway, I'm not the one who had a problem. It was her. | |

I'm not the one who had a problem. It was her. | |
| Hm? | ||
Deuce  |
Ace, what are you goin' on about? | |
Jack  |
Uh... it's already tomorrow... I'm too tired. Let's hurry and clean up the cafeteria. | |
Ace |
You guys are ones to talk when all you've done is lie around all day.
Think about it, Grim. These guys who failed at the mission are more like kids than me. | |
Grim |
Hmm... I guess...
Deuce standing there frozen in front of the bride like that was pretty lame. | |
Ace |
Right?
I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. | |
Deuce |
I couldn't help it! I'm not used to talking to girls.
When I think about accidentally saying something hurtful I don't know what to say anymore... | |
Ace |
You went to a co-ed middle school didn't you? Weren't you popular?
I feel like the guys would go crazy over a bad boy. | |
Deuce |
Go crazy?
No, no one ever talked to me. Girls other than my mom, and come to think of it guys too, they stopped and just stared. | |
Ace |
I see... So they were too scared and kept their distance.
Jack was dumped on the spot so I guess guys that look scary at first glance aren't very popular. | |
Jack |
Mind your own business. I don't really care about being popular. | |
Ace |
Oh? What, are you a sore loser? | |
Jack |
No. Us wolf beast-men choose a single partner to care for.
From the moment they wake up until they go to sleep, my parents and grandparents walk together and eat together. Someday when I fall in love, I'll also want to be committed for life. So I don't need to be liked by a lot of people. | |
Ace |
Wow... That's deep!
Talking about life committment when you are still a student... Aren't you taking your love life a bit too seriously? | |
Deuce |
Should you really be thinking about marriage before you even have a job? | |
Grim |
What a pain! I would never want to be with someone like Jack. | |
Jack |
You've got nothin' to do with it! | |
Ace |
I guess Epel is more the popular type.
A beautiful young boy who doesn't look intimidating and has aspirations for the future! | |
Epel |
Eh? Uh... me!? | |
Ace |
Now that you've been asked, you have to tell your story. Was there anyone back home you liked? | |
Epel |
Um... | |
Ace |
C'mon! Don't hold out on us! We're tuxedo buddies right? | |
Deuce |
So you're draggin' him into this? Why are you so interested in hearing about other people's love lives? | |
Jack |
He's probably trying to let everyone else clean while he just talks. | |
Deuce |
I see. That does sound like Ace. | |
Ace |
You guys want to know too! | |
Jack & Deuce  |
Well... | |
Ace |
Has anyone admitted their feelings for you? Someone you like? Or is there someone you dated before? | |
Epel |
... | |
| ... | ||
Epel |
I know you're excited so I'm sorry to say this.
There aren't many people where I'm from so the only ones around me were those with a huge age gap. I only really started to talk to people my own age when I entered Nightraven College. I was mostly helping with far-... the family business so there wasn't any romance to speak of... I guess. | |
Ace |
So you don't have anything to share either? | |
Epel |
Sorry I couldn't answer your expectations. | |
Ortho |
When compared to data of boys of the same age, everyone appears to be lacking significantly in "youth experiences". | |
Ace |
Shut-up! | |
Sebek  |
Hey! You humans! You haven't been working at all!
If you have time to waste on meaningless chit-chat then line up the chairs! | |
Ace |
And there he is... Today's number one problem boy. | |
Jack |
I was disappointed in you. | |
Sebek |
Hmph. All you are doing is talking about your love lives.
We are students. If you have time for that, how about putting more into your studies? | |
Grim |
You're one to talk! You got dumped on the spot! | |
Sebek |
I wasn't dumped! I dumped her!
I'm busy training everyday to protect Lord Malleus. I have no time for love. | |
Ace |
You say that now but what are you gonna do when you find someone you like?
Are you just gonna blab about Malleus all day long? | |
Sebek |
I am already prepared. Lilia has taught me what to do for the person I carry affection for.
First, pen a letter! | |
Ace |
Pen!? Like, on paper?
That's something right out of our grandparent's age! | |
Deuce |
At least use Magicam or email. | |
Sebek |
Why? Fountain pens and letter paper are the swords of love. That's what Lilia says.
I write my thoughts, and every third letter slip in a smiling photo of myself and repeat until the 25th full moon. Once we have exchanged enough words on paper we would sit together on a bench in central park of the Valley of Thorns, leaving some space between us! | |
Epel |
He can't be serious... | |
Sebek |
What!? How dare a human doubt Lilia! Disrespectful! | |
Ace |
Ah... You're being loud again. This won't end at this rate so we're done.
*sigh* Well, I do agree with Sebek on one thing. | |
Jack |
Are you also the "pen a letter" type? | |
Ace |
Oh yeah! On the letterhead you just write "I love..." ...Of course not!
This time, Riddle and Rook rescued Epel and me, right? | |
Epel |
Yeah. If they two of them hadn't been there we wouldn't have been able to move forward. | |
Ace |
When I saw our dorm head take on that many ghosts for us, I thought,
"He's so cool." I wanna be better at using magic. Right now I can't compete with our dorm head or upperclassmen, but one day I'll show them what I'm made of and say "How do you like that!" When they see my amazing magic... Just thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. To do that, I need to study more seriously before thinking about love. | |
Epel |
Yeah, you're right. I think so too! | |
Sebek |
Hmph. So you understand then. | |
Deuce |
Yeah, I'm gonna need to do some serious studying. | |
Jack |
Since you usually get red marks, that means something coming from Deuce. | |
| Yeah. | ||
Deuce |
Don't agree with each other on that! | |
Ace |
Seems like everyone got caught up in the conversation. We've barely cleaned the cafeteria.
Firsts, theghosts give me a hard time and now I'll probably get detention... We're all so lame... There wasn't a single good thing that happened today. | |
Ortho |
That's not true! | |
Ace |
Eh? | |
|

| Cafeteria - Wedding Ceremony | ||
Ortho |
I was watching the video of Ace Trappola entering the wedding ceremony with the Headmaster.
When he sincerely yelled, "Hold it right there!" while holding the bouquet, it was like watching a movie. Trying so desperately for my big brother... Ace Trappola, you were sooooo cool! | |
Ace |
Huh? I wasn't really that desperate or anything.
I had just gotten away from those ghosts so it just happened that way. | |
Ortho |
No. You were so serious when you charged into the ceremony hall.
You meant every word that you said to the bride and her vassals, right? | |
Grim |
There's no way Ace was being genuine.
He was just blabbing without thinking like he always does. | |
Ace |
Ye- Yeah! Grim gets it. | |
Ortho |
My infrared detection at the time showed increased body temperature, voice volume, and the pupil size.
All the data suggests that you were being "sincere". You don't have to hide it. You must be shy! | |
Deuce |
So that means... | |
Sebek |
...what he said to the ghost bride about the "ideal marriage partner"... | |
Jack |
...Ace was being serious!? | |
Ortho |
Yeah. I'm sure of it.
It's wonderful that Ace has a concrete idea of the ideal marriage. | |
Ace |
What? No! No way!
I just said whatever I thought the ghost would want to hear. | |
| Oh? | ||
Grim |
You're gettin' all worked up. | |
Ortho |
Even the Headmaster said that the ghost might fall in love with him!
Looking at written accounts and statistical data, if you were to confess with the same passion as you did today, anyone could fall in love with Ace. There's no mistake! | |
Ace |
There was no passion, okay? And it wasn't a confession!
Stop smiling at me like that! | |
Epel |
So you were actually trying hard.
I wish I could have seen Ace acting so cool. | |
Ortho |
Leave it to me! I recorded it. I'll send you a video later. | |
Ace |
Don't record me! | |
Deuce |
Oh, that's nice of you. Once we're done cleaning, let's all watch it together. How about at Ramshackle dorm? | |
Jack |
It could be fun to watch it while doing a play-by-play. Will wake me up too. | |
Sebek |
I'll score you as well.
You told me I was today's number one problem boy. I will be thorough, so prepare yourself. | |
Ace |
Don't turn this into a viewing party! | |
| No need to be shy | We want to showcase how brave you were today | |
Ortho |
Yes!
Ace Trappola, thinking seriously about the ideal marriage really makes you the most wonderful groom! | |
| ||
Ace |
Oh c'mon! Like I said, I wasn't being serious at all! | |
Grim |
Woah. Ace's ears are turnin' red! | |
Deuce |
Hahah, you're right. That's rare. | |
Jack |
Hey, Ortho. Get a recording of this too. | |
Grim |
Yuu, take a picture with the ghost camera! | |
Ace |
You're all toying with me now. C'mon! Give me a break! | |
