Kalim was in a good mood today.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Yes, to me it seemed like the usual Kalim-san.
|
Grim
Grim
|
His eyes get so much narrower when he’s angry and he speaks in a scary way, yanno?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Is that an indicator of his mood, I wonder?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
What do you mean?
|
Jade
Jade
|
I simply cannot fathom Kalim-san being as moody as Floyd, after all… I feel as if there’s some other underlying factor to consider.
|
Grim

Jamil said it’s ‘cause they couldn’t place during the Magift Tournament and during the tests.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Eh~? Was Rakko-chan the type to worry about that?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Otter…?
|
Jade
Jade
|
He’s talking about Kalim-san. Floyd loves nicknaming people after sea creatures. He refers to you fondly as Azarashi-chan due to your slightly pudgy and adorable silhouette as well.
|
Grim
Grim
|
“Pudgy” sounds like an insult, yanno!
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Rakko-chan’s always smiling and moving to the beat of his own drum like an otter, right?
|
Azul

Indeed. He is very cheerful, and I just cannot imagine him becoming very unstable just because of one bad grade. There is a high possibility that the cause is entirely something else. It seems like becoming more familiar with him will be helpful with solving our problem. Jade, can I ask you to have a little “talk” with him for a little bit?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Understood. However, Jamil-san might pose as a little bit of a challenge. Kalim-san on the other hand might “talk” without problems.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Then, I’m gonna go play with Umihebi-kun while you do that~
|
Azul
Azul
|
Very good. I shall accompany you.
|
All
|
Fufufu…
|
Grim
Grim
|
Their eyes are definitely saying something else, yanno…
|
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
(sigh)… Kalim’s deciding things on his own again. Does he know how hard I’ve worked for this… Damn it…! Kalim’s already asleep, so there shouldn’t be any more problems for now.
|
(knock, knock)
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Who could it be at this hour…?
|
Azul
Azul
|
Good evening, Jamil-san.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Hello~~
|
Grim
Grim
|
We’re intruding!
|
Choice 1: Sorry for visiting so late.
|
Choice 2: Sorry for the crowd.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
!! … What do you need?

We found a board game I have never seen before when Kalim-san toured us around his treasure vault. Kalim-san explained the rules to me, but I simply couldn’t follow.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
How do you play this board game? What’s with the holes and jewels…?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Oh, that’s Mancala. It’s a popular board game back at home.
|
Azul
Azul
|
I am part of the Board Game Club, so I am naturally curious. Would you please play a game with us?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Me, too~! I wanna play with Umihebi-kun~! Aha~~
|
Grim
Grim
|
There’s no way the great Grim’ll back out from a contest, yanno!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
… Kalim’s asleep already, so it shouldn’t be a problem. I understand. My room can’t accommodate this many people, so let’s move to the lounge.
