Floyd
Floyd
|
I did it~~ I win again! That’s three in a row~!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
You’re very formidable whenever you concentrate, huh, Floyd.
|
Grim
Grim
|
AHHH!! I lost again! Azul, go easy on me!
|
Azul
Azul
|
I am currently at 5 wins 0 losses. Well, an expected outcome from someone in the Board Game Club. And Jamil-san is at 2 wins 3 losses?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Hm? Yeah, I must be getting rusty since it’s been a while. Kalim used to make me play long hours until he won. I guess it’s a force of habit.
|
Azul
Azul
|
I see. (quietly) So that’s how it is.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
What do you mean by that? You’re a pretty weird one, huh.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Oh, no, I was talking to myself. You were raised together with Kalim-san, were you not?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
You seem to know what that’s like… Oh yeah, you three are also childhood friends.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Seems like it~
|
Grim
Grim
|
Seems like it? Why’d you put it like that?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
It seems like we’ve been in the same class since elementary school. But I only started becoming fully aware of Azul when we entered middle school. That’s why we don’t have real childhood friend-ish memories.
|
Choice 1: You didn’t notice someone you’ve been classmates with until after graduation…?
|
Choice 2: Your points of interest are a little too specific, huh…
|
Azul
Azul
|
I was a very quiet student and I preferred not to stand out too much.
|
Grim
Grim
|
You stood out in a different way though. Width-wise, to be—ASASJK??????
|
Azul
Azul
|
Grim-san, I believe we agreed to keep that a secret…!!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
And now you’re their Prefect? What a pretty strange relationship.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
You think so? I’m just doing it ‘cause Azul’s pretty interesting.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Both Jade and Floyd have no reason to submit themselves to me. To them, we are simply “playing around”.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Playing master and servant, you mean? That makes it more confusing.
|
Azul
Azul
|
When they decide I’m not worthy to be their leader… And when they start becoming bored of me— The both of them will leave me and will definitely try to take my position away. Well, I have no intentions of losing either way.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
We don’t have plans of challenging you~ For now at least~ Aha~
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
I guess you three are on equal standing right now, huh.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
We’re together with him because he’s interesting, but once he starts being boring, it’s bye-bye Azul~ The Vice-Prefect isn’t the Prefect’s retainer, you know? That’s perfectly normal.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Normal, huh… I’ve been raised as a retainer to serve his family, so I really can’t understand. A master is a master and a servant will be a servant. Most probably for as long as we’re alive.

Azul
Azul

Kalim
Kalim
|
Oh, you guys are still up and playing?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Eh!?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Oh, mancala! Brings back memories~ We played so much when we were little, didn’t we?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
I thought you were already sleeping… I keep telling you not to wander along at night, remember? What if you get kidnapped again…?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
You worry too much, Jamil. It’s okay, I was walking around with Jade.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Huh? Jade?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes, I was right by his side all this time.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
…………!!
|
Jade
Jade
|
Kalim-san is such a wonderful person. He was so kind to me in a lot of ways.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
You… What did you do to Kalim?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Whatever do you mean? We were just having a fun little chitchat, weren’t we, Kalim-san?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Yup, I was just showing him the treasure vault.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
………!!
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Oh, Jamil. We brought some silver and blue carpet from home, didn’t we? Do you know where that went? I can’t find it anywhere.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Let’s go back, Kalim.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Eh? Why now all of a sudden?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
No questions. Come on, let’s go.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Wha–!? I’m going! I’m going, so don’t pull me! Sorry, Jade. I’ll show the carpet to you next time!
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes. Until next time… Fufufu.
