Episode 1-9: Guilty at Lunch!
Cafeteria
Ace Ace	Holy crap! Dorm Leader!
Cater Cater	Oh my, Riddle. You're super crazy cute today~♪
Riddle Riddle	Hmph. Cater. If you run your mouth anymore, I'll take it off together with your head.
Cater Cater	Hey now, gimme a break!
Grim Grim	Ffgna! This is the guy who put that weird collar on me during the entrance ceremony!
Riddle Riddle	And you're the new students who caused all that fuss about a possible expulsion yesterday. I must ask that you refrain from calling someone's Unique Magic a "weird collar." For goodness’ sake. The headmaster is far too soft. If you forgive rule breakers, the whole system will collapse. All he has to do is lop off the heads of everyone who doesn't follow the rules.
Ace Ace	He may look innocent, but the words coming out of his mouth sure do suggest otherwise…
Riddle Riddle	The headmaster may have forgiven you, but make no mistake, the next time you choose to break the rules, I will most certainly not.
Ace Ace	…Say, Dorm Leader, there's no way you could, y'know… remove this collar, is there?
Riddle Riddle	I was prepared to do so had you learned your lesson, but judging from the way you were talking just a moment ago, it doesn't sound like that is the case, at all. Keep it on for a while longer. There's no need to worry. As a first-year, you'll primarily be learning the fundamentals rather than actually using magic. If you can't use your magic, there's no risk of causing a scene like yesterday, either. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Now don't just sit around chatting away. The moment you've finished your lunch, start preparing for your next class. Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 271: "One should leave their seat within 15 minutes of finishing their lunch." If you break the rules... Well, I believe I've made myself clear?
Ace Ace	Aaand that's another weird as hell rule to add to the list…
Riddle Riddle	The answer is, "Yes, Dorm Leader!"
Deuce & Ace Deuce & Ace	Yes, Dorm Leader!
Riddle Riddle	Very good.
Trey Trey	Listen, I'll look after them for you, okay?
Riddle Riddle	Hmph. You're meant to be the vice dorm leader, so I expect you to get your act together. Following the Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 339, "Tea after a meal should always be lemon tea with two sugars." I must go buy sugar cubes from the school store, so I'll be on my way. Not ensuring the sugar pot is topped up is a huge offense, for goodness' sake...
Cater Cater	Whew! That was a close one.
Grim Grim	That guy is so obnoxious.
Deuce Deuce	Hey! That’s rude!
Heartslabyul Resident A Heartslabyul Resident A	Did the dorm leader leave…?
Heartslabyul Resident B Heartslabyul Resident B	I broke the Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 186, "One must never eat a hamburger on Tuesday." I was terrified of what would happen if he found out I did.
Heartslabyul Resident A Heartslabyul Resident A	*Sigh* At least let us eat whatever we want...
Cater & Trey Cater & Trey	………….
Trey Trey	The dorm leader wrestled the seat from the previous dorm leader in his first week here. He can be a little harsh, but that's just him trying to make the dorm better. He's got good intentions at heart.
Grim Grim	Someone with good intentions doesn't randomly collar people!
Cater & Trey Cater & Trey	Ha ha ha…
Choice 1: Grim, don't forget you're the one who made a scene during the ceremony.		Choice 2: By the way, what's this "Unique Magic"?

Grim Grim

Grrr... But that collar just suddenly cuts off your magic. It hurts and it sucks!

Cater Cater	Hm? You mean Riddle’s unique magic?
Deuce Deuce	If it's unique, does that mean that it's magic that only he can use?
Trey Trey	Leaving aside the question of if only one person in the whole world can use it or not… ...generally, it's indeed a very distinct magic that only that person can use, hence Unique Magic. You'll probably learn about it in class pretty soon.
Cater Cater	Riddle's Unique Magic lets him seal another person's magic for a fixed amount of time. It is called...
Memory
Riddle Riddle	“OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!”
Grim Grim	Eek! Just the name is terrifying!
Cater Cater	Having your magic sealed as a mage really hurts as much as losing your own head, after all! And that's why you should try and avoid breaking Riddle's rules inside the dorm.
Trey Trey	On the other hand, he isn't scary at all if you just follow them.
Ace Ace	So what you're saying is I have to go buy a tart or Cater will kick me out again?
Cater Cater	That's right. As decided by Laws of the Queen of Hearts, No. 53. I should also let you know that Riddle really looks forward to having the first slice of a tart, so he probably won't forgive you unless it's whole.
Ace Ace	Weren't you just talking about getting along, like, two seconds ago? Just turn a blind eye!
Cater Cater	That is that, this is this.
Deuce Deuce	But aren't whole tarts pretty expensive?
Ace Ace	Ugh. It's not like my pockets are overflowing with Madol here, you know.
Cater Cater	Then why not try your hand at making your own? All those tarts you saw in the fridge were made by Trey.
Choice 1: That's an unexpected talent!		Choice 2: True, baking is cheaper than buying.
Ace Ace	You made that tart, Trey? Holy crap! If you told me they were bought from a patisserie, I'd have believed you.
Trey Trey	Haha, thank you. It's true that I have all the seasonings and utensils that you would need, but... ...asking for my help won't come cheap.
Ace Ace	Huh?! You’re making me pay for it?!
Trey Trey	Pfft, don't lose your head now. I'm not gonna go around squeezing money out of the new kids. If we're going to make the tart Riddle wants to eat next, we need a lot of chestnuts. Could you gather them for me?
Ace Ace	Ugh, either way is a pain. Well, how many do you need?
Trey Trey	To make enough for the Unbirthday Party, we'll need about… two, three hundred, I think.
Deuce & Grim Deuce & Grim	That many!?
Trey Trey	After that, I'll need you to roast, peel, and purée them. I can do the rest after that.
Grim Grim	Can I go home?
Deuce Deuce	Me too.
Ace Ace	Traitors!
Cater Cater	Come on, now! Nothing tastes more delicious than food that you make together with your friends. You get to make some fun memories! Never know, might even be your debut as a food blogger.
Trey Trey	Don’t tell the dorm leader, but Mont Blanc tastes most delicious when it’s freshly-baked. Only the one who bakes the tart gets a piece of that.
Grim Grim	Oooh ooh ooh! Let's get a move on! We're gonna pick chestnut after chestnut after chestnut!
Choice 1: You changed your tune quick.		Choice 2: Where do we get the chestnuts?
Trey Trey	There should be plenty of chestnut trees in the forest behind the school’s botanical garden.
Ace Ace	Then we meet after class in front of the botanical garden.
Grim Grim	Go! Go! Chestnut picking~!
