Oh? A message on MagiCam? Who would've thought it was that girl! How nostalgic~
The picture those ghosts took at Ramshackle dorm made our college's Halloween event trend Huge success for Cay's follower-catching strat! So far it's been going well but… Mixed within the comments and DMs of my new followers are a lot of old aquaintances. Even some classmates from middle and elementary school are here. "Hey! It's been a while! Oh, would you like to come to our college? Cay welcomes every single one of you! You can always come over to hang at NRC's Halloween event!" And now some emoji full of feelings! (^○^)♪ (ゝω・)☆ d(’ｖ｀*)b Everyone is really so casual and easygoing~ Well, it's easier on me, so I'm not complaining. | |
| ??? | HEY! | |
Cater |
Where did that loud and rowdy voice come from? I've got a bad feeling about this… | |
| ||
| Front Gate | ||
Sebek  |
Humans, don't crowd around the young master! Get out! Leave! | |
| Man A | Hey, what are you doing, sweptback bro! Don't interfere with our Draconia Challenge. | |
| Man B | We're putting our lives on the line to show our bravery by uploading a picture of us touching The Malleus! | |
| Man A | Huh, since when did Malleus disappear?! It's that sweptback bro's fault. | |
| Man B | Don't be so angry. After all the effort of having a sweptback, let's show the world a huge smile on that face! | |
Sebek |
For humans of your social standing to use the name of the Lord of the esteemed Briar Valley in vain…
Besides, my hair is swept back like this so I have an unobstructed view to find those like you who behave rudely towards my young master! You shall receive punishment for insulting the Draconia… no, for insulting the young master. My thunder shall shock you all to bits! HAAAAA... | |
Cater |
Okay, stop! I'm part of the Halloween Committee.
It's forbidden to fight. Why don't you try talking to this lad if something's up? | |
Sebek |
Don't interrupt me, you frolicking human! I will shock you to bits as well! | |
Cater |
Won't you create a scandal for the Draconia family if you were to harm an ordinary human with magic? | |
Sebek |
W-Well… You're right. Besides, didn't you just say you were part of the Halloween committee?
Both the Young Master and Master Lilia are performing the same duties… They ordered me to listen to the orders of the other committee members. Ok, I shall talk this out. | |
Cater |
Even though you are crossing your arms and puffing your chest out, you are being apologetic right?
Anyway, these are our college's precious guests. They have no intention to harm Malleus. | |
Sebek |
These magic-less weaklings were making a spectacle bothering Young Master with a toy. I cannot forgive that! | |
Cater |
Malleus is like super famous, and he's an admirable being, right?
So just for this festival, it should be fine to interact with our guests as a little fanservice right? | |
Sebek |
Stop messing around. The Young Master is a dreadful being who makes everyone kneel and bow down to him.
AND THAT'S WHY I WILL NEVER LEAVE HIS SIDE AND PROTECT HIM ALL MY LIFE! | |
Cater |
You're just obsessed! | |
| Man A | Hey, interfering our Draconia Challenge aside, what are you two squabbling about? | |
Sebek |
Hm? You humans are still here? I told you to leave. | |
| Man B | Huh? You've got some nerve, talking rudely to us like that! | |
Cater |
Come on guys. Why don't we take some pictures together since it's finally Halloween!
We, Heartslabyul are those who rise from the soil in the darkness, the underlings of the night~ | |
| Man A | Wow! Now that you mention it, you do look real good for the camera! | |
Cater |
Cheer up everyone and gather! Let's decide on a pose~~~ | |
| Happy Halloween~ | ||

| Kalim / Cater / Lilia | *Sigh*… I'm tired…. | |
Cater |
This year's Halloween was exhausting. Mainly due to our guests being rowdy.. | |
Kalim  |
It was fun entertaining the guests, but I was really troubled because Jamil got in a foul mood. | |
Lilia  |
Even we, three most gentle boys, have been worn down. The other students must be at the limits of their patience. | |
| Kalim / Cater / Lilia | *Sigh*… | |
Cater |
Now that you say it, by chance all the members of the light music club are also part of the Halloween Committee.
Let's have our usual relaxing tea time while also discussing some countermeasures. | |
Kalim & Lilia  |
Agreed~ | |
Cater |
I got this! Trey's home-made pumpkin pie! It's moderately sweet, so it's my favorite! | |
Kalim |
I have kunafa. It's a cheesecake from the Scalding Sands. It's delicious when it's hot! | |
Lilia |
Oho, these are all sweets befitting of Halloween. As the last one, I have prepared this.
Licorice! | |
Cater |
You're always bringing the same thing! You know me and Kalim don't like that. | |
Kalim |
The smell makes my nose shrivel up~ | |
Cater |
But you know, since it's black, it does feel like Halloween.
Oh, right, let's take a picture together. It's super charming to be in costume and have themed food. Okay, Happy Halloween! | |

Kalim |
The best? Didn't you say you were exhausted earlier, Cater? | |
Cater |
I never said it wasn't exciting and for things like SNS, isn't it better to exaggerate a bit? | |
Lilia |
As expected of you. We live in a period where everyone is connected all around the world. It is most wonderful to spread happiness instead of complaints. | |
Cater |
Oh. The picture I just uploaded got an amazing response! | |
| ♪♪♪ | ||
Cater |
Another message from that girl. Was she the kind to keep track of people's activities? | |
| *ringing noise* | ||
Cater |
This time it's a call. (How persistent…) | |
Kalim |
Cater, is it from one of your friends? You can pick up if you want. | |
Cater |
Hm~… More like an acquaintance from the past? But it's alright? We're at a very important meeting, after all. | |
Lilia |
We are only eating sweets, taking pictures and uploading them to MagiCam though… | |
Cater |
It's the age of social media where everyone can keep in contact at their own pace, you don't have to go through the pains of having to response in real time to a phone call. | |
Kalim |
Do you have that many people who want to get in touch with you? You're so well connected Cater~ | |
Cater |
Well, if you look the amount of aquaintances I have, that might be true?
My dad's a banker. The bank he works at has branches all over the world. Therefore, whenever he transferred to a different branch, our entire family would move with him. We moved once every two years, so I kind of feel like a pro at quickly packing things? | |
Lilia |
Commonly said, you are a family who moved a lot for the sake of the breadwinner. | |
Kalim |
So the reason why you have so many friends is because you have travelled around the world since young. | |
Cater |
Yeah, the girl just now said we are friends as well.
Having to change schools frequently, I got to meet more people compared to someone staying at one place. From the best to the worst… a lot of people. However, they all had something in common. | |
Kalim & Lilia |
……？ | |
Cater |
If I left there, they remained there.
That's why I'd rather have a casual and happy time with everyone than to deepen a friendship. It’s like a circus troupe, you know, having fun hanging with people all over the world and then leaving. That's why Magicam is the best! People from my school from three years ago contacted me out of the blue. My social circle is expanding as well. Cay is getting popular! | |
Kalim |
Even if they're far away, you don't have to hold back you know?
I got it! I'll lend you my magic carpet, so you can visit your friends whenever you want. | |
Cater |
… I expected no less of you, Kalim. I'll take you up on that offer next time. | |
Lilia |
I feel like I understand you. | |
Cater |
Hm? | |
Lilia |
The relations between humans are eternal. They are things that cannot be severed.
In a new place with no trace of your existence, new relations will continue to be forged. That in itself is nature. However, I think the more precious a relation is, the more lonely it becomes. Why does it feel that way? I have lived a long life but the reason is still unknown to me. But just as Cater said, there may be a perfectly logical explanation for not getting too attached to one person in particular. | |
Cater |
Lilia, what got into you suddenly? What I wanted to say was- | |
| *ringing noise* | ||
Lilia |
Hello, this is Lilia speaking. What business do you have? | |
Cater |
He just casually picked up the phone during our conversation. | |
Lilia |
Oh Sebek. What is the matter? Your voice is too loud. Right now, I am in a meeting with Cater and Kalim
WHAT?! MALLEUS?! | |
Kalim & Cater  |
?! | |
| ||
| Hall of Mirrors | ||
Silver  |
Stop pushing. It's forbidden to enter the Hall of Mirrors. | |
| Man A | Huh, really! I came all the way to the Isle of Sages to see Malleus Draconia. | |
| Man B | We are doing the Draconia Challenge now! Why can't we enter~ | |
| Woman C | He's inside right! An actual Draconia, The Actual Malleus! | |
| MALLEUS! MALLEUS! MALLEUS! | ||
| *Lightning and thunder* | ||
Silver |
It's a rare event that Master Malleus is participating in. He also agreed to interact with the guests...
For it to come to this... Everyone, it's better if you leave. You have angered Master Malleus. | |
| Man A | I paid a lot of travel expenses, did you know that? This is the price of fame. | |
| MALLEUS! MALLEUS! MALLEUS! | ||
| ||
| Exterior Hallway | ||
Cater |
Did the visitors who wanted that Magicam glory end up angering even Malleus himself? | |
Sebek |
Yes. At first he was gentle and calmed me down when I got angry…
but a fool grabbed Malleus by the horns and made fun of him by saying "Look! It's a bicycle from the olden days!" | |
Lilia & Cater  |
Gh! | |
Cater |
I don't know if they're brave or just reckless.
Were the dark clouds and thunder rampaging in the sky above the Hall of Mirrors due to Malleus' anger? You don't think he overblotted, right…?! | |
Lilia |
Do not worry. Using that amount of magic power shall not make him overblot.
He is simply irritated. Back when he was young, mountains would be destroyed by his lightning whenever he threw a tantrum. | |
Cater |
Hahaha… that's on a totally different level.
I guess it was a good idea to have Kalim go fetch the professors. | |
Sebek |
Upperclassman Vil noticed something was up and isolated the young master. He also cast a defensive spell so the tourists wouldn't be harmed.
And it seemed that Upperclassman Jade is persuading the angry young master with some unique methods... Even so, those humans who can't seem to understand the gravity of the situation keep stirring up the young master, they're uncontrollable. | |
Lilia |
This means we must use our last resort.
We must put in effort to suppress the onlookers and avoid the worst situation. | |
Cater |
Wait a second, Lilia. I thought of something. It's not like people there dislike Malleus or anything.
Despite that, it doesn't mean that they like Malleus as well... They're just interested in trends. Just like my old acquaintances. | |
Lilia |
? | |
Cater |
First, I'll take a picture of Lilia, who's wearing the same clothes as Malleus! | |
| *shutter noise* | ||
Cater |
Next we use something catered to influencers. We'll elongate Lilia's picture with a photo editing app! | |
| *Swiping on phone* | ||
Cater |
Now we just add some text to finish it up. And then upload a cropped version to Magicam!! | |
| *Phone SFX* | ||
Cater |
#AWildMalleusAppeared #DraconiaChallenge #UnexpectedlyAtSportsGround #NRCHalloween | |
| *Phone SFX* | ||
| Man A | H-Hey. Look at the Draconia challenge tag. | |
| Man B | It seems he's at the Sports Ground now. As expected of Malleus. He's much faster than we are! | |
| Woman C | Okay. Everyone, let's move! | |
| YEAH! | ||
Silver |
What happened? Master Malleus should still be in the Hall of Mirrors. | |
Cater |
Phew. With this, I hope the storm has passed...? | |
Vil  |
Good grief. Accidents are an unavoidable part of stage plays. Letting yourself get influenced by the guests is so amateurish.
My work here is done. I will return to the dorm to straighten up my appearance. | |
Jade  |
My, that was a close call. Malleus is extremely powerful.
I persuaded him to the best of my abilities, trying to get him to understand. But there was no one to turn to if it had failed. Well then, I will also return to my station. I wish everyone a wonderful Halloween. | |
Malleus  |
I caused many disturbances between different racial groups during a mere school event.
I should restrain myself more… | |
Sebek |
The young master has done nothing wrong! It was the fault of those inferior humans! | |
Silver |
The young master told us to avoid hostility between fae and humans. Why are you getting more hostile? | |
Sebek |
WHAT DID YOU SAY, SILVER!? | |
Lilia |
Malleus. Did you forget our promise from long ago? Call for us when the tranquility in your mind is disturbed.
Even if we are not related by blood, we are still a family. Got it? | |
Malleus |
Lilia… My apologies. To everyone as well. | |
| ... | ||
Cater |
…Family…huh. | |
Lilia |
I feel like I understand you.
But just as Cater said, there may be a perfectly logical explanation for not getting too attached to one person in particular. | |
Cater |
(That was full of lies.)
(For a guy who grew up and lived in the same place, he never had to deal with rebuilding relations over and over…) (He would never understand my worthless and meaningless feelings.) | |
| *ringing* | ||
Cater |
Hello, Trey. What's up?
Huh? Are we doing our rehearsal for our night show at the stamp rally now? And Deuce, who is also part of the Halloween Committee, was at his wit's end due to the lack of manpower. So Ace is helping him out? Darn, Ace is definitely going to extort me for a favor later! Argh! And is Riddle on the verge of a rampage? I'll be back soon, Trey. Please calm him down! I am currently at the site of the biggest crisis yet of this Halloween Week! No, for real! I'm not lying. That's why you don't have to be so cold to me, 'kay? URGH, TREY, YOU'RE SO CRUEL! Now that Diasomnia's turmoil has settled, let's change the mood and continue on with work. In any case, we’ll still separate after the fourth year… It would be different if I repeated a year though. Anyway, I should just enjoy the moment to my heart's content! I'll surprise everyone with this charming skeleton costume! I'll show them what I'm capable of! Happy Halloween! | |
