The atmosphere in Diasomnia is totally different from Heartslabyul huh...
I would have lost my way here if I were alone. Thank you for guiding me around Upperclassman Silver.
|
Silver
Silver

It's no problem.

"With this the gathering of Wishing Stars will go on smoothly...
|
*Phone ringing*
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Oh, a phone call. I will reject... Wait! It's from mom?
It's rare for her to contact me. I wonder if anything happened?
I'll take this call, please excuse me.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Sure, it's no problem.
|
Deuce
Deuce

Hello. What's the matter? Is there anything urgent... Eh? You saw my e-mail?
Yes, that's right! I was selected as a representative for the Star Sending event in my school...
Wai- Please stop talking about the past! I said that I'm participating seriously this time! You don't have to worry about me.
Enough already... In any case, I'm hanging up. I'll call back to properly later... Yup, bye.
Seriously...
|
Silver
Silver
|
It that from your mother?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
That's right. I am sorry for the interruption.
|
Silver
Silver
|
From the way you talked, it seems like you are on good terms with your mum.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yeah, we are pretty close... My bros in the past would often tease me saying things like "Are you still a brat?!"
|
Silver
Silver
|
Brat? Why is it immature to be close to your parents?
Isn't it natural to want to talk to your pare- ... people you treasure more?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
You... You agree with me right?!
Upperclassman Silver is the first person to say something like that to me...
I was just thinking about it when I heard of your wish. It is very gallant!
|
Silver
Silver
|
Is that so? I don't understand very well but thank you.
Oh yeah, what did you wish for with your Wishing Star?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Eh? Me? Erm...
|
Silver
Silver
|
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I am just curious about your wish that's all.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
... No, I'm going around listening to other's wishes. It's not fair if I keep mine a secret.
That is...
In the past, I was even more naive than I am now... My behaviour then wasn't the best.
I got into fights very often...
|
Silver
Silver
|
It's not good to get into fights.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
It's so true that it hurts! Yeah, I am properly reflecting on that now...
But I didn't listen to others' advice and as time goes by, no one would believe in me.
I was even blamed for things I wasn't even involved in.
My teachers or people around me would say things like "I bet you are the one who did it." or "I'm sure you summoned the cauldron!"
|
Silver
Silver
|
A cauldron?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Ah, th-that's not important.
I took it for granted that no one would believe in me. Now that I think about it, I reaped what I sowed.
The only people who believed me when I said "I didn't do it" was my mum and... One other person.
|
Silver
Silver
|
One other person? There was someone other than your family who believed in you?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yes. It was the patrolling officer at the nearby police post.
That officer often worried about me and is someone who would properly listen to what I have to say...
He would provide alibi on my whereabouts whenever he heard that I was involved in a case.
|
Silver
Silver
|
I see that he is an unbiased person who would not be influenced by prejudice.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yes. Not only me, but my mum is very grateful to the officer as well!
If I can become someone like that person is, I think it would put my mum at ease...
That is why... I want to become a police officer.
That is my wish.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Police officer... I see.
I heard that within the Police, there is a special unit comprising of magic users, gathered to resolve magic crimes.
It's an elite unit that only employs the cream of the crop among magicians...
Do you perhaps aim to work in that special unit?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
That's right... Ah! I do know that with my current results, it will be difficult?!
The written paper specializing on magic, flying test and also a practical test on magical powers...
To overcome the difficult tests and become such an elite police officer, that's a dream within a dream to me!
ahaha... haha...

When I was young, my father said "The life of a human is short! there's no time to be lamenting on immaturity!" and drilled that thought into me.
I think he means that, if you have time to spit about being weak, first, make full use of your efforts.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Your father is pretty harsh huh Upperclassman Silver...?!
|
Silver
Silver
|
Yeah. Even now, I live by those words.
Although the actual person had forgotten that he said that.
Working towards resolving any insecurities about the future is not naive. It is a steady effort.
For you as well, work towards fulfilling your dream with all you've got. Don't think about other things.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
... I am glad to be able to talk to Upperclassman Silver today. I will do my best!
|
Silver
Silver
|
Yeah. Let's work hard together
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yes!

Alright, today's gathering of Wishing Stars went well too. Let's keep this up a little more...
|
???
|
Uwaa! I spotted one again! A "Stargazer"!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Hmm?
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
Yoo! If it isn't Mr Enthusiastic. Are you preparing for Star Sending seriously today as well?
|
Octavinelle Student B
|
It's just a school event but you put so much effort into it. What an embarrassing guy.
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
True true! He's too childish for his age~
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
It's you guys again! If you are looking for a fight, this time I'll gladly acce... *gasp*
|
|
Silver
Silver
|
It's not good to get into fights.
For you as well, work towards fulfilling your dream with all you've got. Don't think about other things.
|
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
... Hmph. That's meaningless. I have no time to argue with you guys.
|
Octavinelle Student B
|
What did you say? Putting on airs...!
|
Idia
Idia
|
Sir Deuce... What are you doing at that kind of place...?
...Eh? Could it be that you are slacking off from gathering the Stars?
Even though you told me all self-righteously that it is the duty of a "Stargazer"?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
U-Upperclassman Shroud?! You got it wrong! I'm not slacking off!
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
Geh! Previously was the vice dorm leader of Heartslabyul, now it's the dorm leader of Ignihyde...!
|
Octavinelle Student B
|
There's no way we would win against dorm leaders or vice dorm leaders...
|
Octavinelle Student A
|
I can't accept this... That's right! Hey, lend me your ears.
*Whispers*
|
Octavinelle Student B
|
I see...
|
Octavinelle Student A & B
|
I'll let you off for today! Well then, Mr Overly-Serious Deuce!
|
*Runs away*
|

What's with that classic escaping line... Do you mean that's a norm for normies? Isn't that too distressful?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
...
Those guys...
