| Pomefiore Dorm – Ballroom | ||
Vil  |
Remember, it’s rock the boat after posing! Then, down immediately. Alright, one, two— Stop, stop! That’s completely wrong, Rookie #2! | |
Deuce  |
Eh? A-are you talking to me? | |
Vil |
Who else? | |
Ace  |
(whispers) I’m Rookie #1, dude… | |
Vil |
You’re focusing too much on your hands that your footwork is being neglected. And you are much too stiff. What is with that posture? | |
Deuce |
I-I’m so sorry…! | |
Vil |
Do not think I didn’t notice you, Epel. Flexibility is very important when it comes to jazz and hip-hop. | |
Epel  |
But this kind of meandering and girly dance is a little… I… I don’t want to do it… | |
Vil |
Pardon? “Meandering and girly?” Are you sleep-talking, my dear? Well, even then I still will not tolerate such brashness. | |
| (grab!) | ||
Epel |
O-ouch…! Please don’t pull my ears! | |
Vil |
Our dear little apple is already feeling sleepy, so I am just helping you out, child. Let me explain. This “meandering” dance trains the inner muscles so that our movements look clean and beautiful. Clothes and dancing should not be categorized into “girly” or “manly.” You are absolutely being close-minded if you think you shouldn’t do “girly” dances just because you’re a boy. Were you born 100 years ago to be this prejudiced, child? No, right? | |
Epel |
I-I wasn’t… | |
Kalim  |
Aww, you don’t have to be so mad at him, Vil. Epel, it might be embarrassing at first, but it’ll be super fun once you get the hang of it! | |
Vil |
Listen to Kalim. Half-hearted dancing is simply not beautiful. | |
Kalim |
Eh? That wasn’t what I was trynna—ASKALJKASF?!!? | |
Jamil  |
Kalim, don’t say anything more…! | |
Vil |
Alright, I’ve decided. Epel will be doing a different regime starting tomorrow. | |
Epel |
Eh? | |
Vil |
You will do ballet lessons alone until I say so. | |
Epel |
Um… Is that the 6-player ball game— | |
Vil |
Read your books, dear. Just because you look cute doesn’t mean that you should be air-headed. I am of course talking about the ballerinas. | |
Epel |
Eh? I’m going to practice being a ballerina? | |
Vil |
I am not saying that you should learn to dance relevé. However, it would help if you could make clean and beautiful turns. More importantly, I would like you to abandon your close-minded ideology of what should be “feminine” or “masculine.” | |
Epel |
Th-that’s… It’s all too sudden, and I—!! | |
Deuce |
………… | |
Grim  |
(shrieks) H-he’s more of a demon coach than Vargas, yanno…? | |
Ace |
I don’t wanna be under fire, so I’m just gonna sit quietly here. | |
Deuce |
Excuse me, Schoenheit-senpai. | |
Vil |
What is it, Rookie #2? | |
Deuce |
Can I please join the ballet lessons, too? | |
| Ace & Epel | What?! | |
Ace |
Are you serious?! Why are you volunteering yourself…? | |
Vil |
Give me a reason why. | |
Deuce |
I too have my own ideas of “masculinity,” so I thought that maybe I should learn more and give it my all now that I’m part of the team, too. | |
Epel |
Deuce-kun… | |
Vil |
Very well. Maybe the ballet lessons will actually do you some good. Let us call it a day for now. | |
Rook  |
Oui. Come, let us all head back to Ramshackle Dorm so we can all feast. | |

| Main Street | ||
Ace |
God, I’m so exhausted…! We do dance lessons and then Vil-senpai makes us clean the ballroom until it sparkles…!! Demon, I tell you! A demon! | |
Deuce |
He actually made me clean the windows while having me practice my arm movements… Now both my arms and my back hurt… | |
Kalim |
I didn’t know that cleaning was this tough. | |
Epel |
I’m starving… | |
Grim |
Me, too…~ | |
| Choice 1: Thank you for your hard work. | Choice 2: That was hellish, huh? | |
Rook |
Hahaha! Worry not, there is meaning behind all of this labor. The use of dust cloth for cleaning, wiping of windows… All of them can greatly help with training one’s posture. It is part of Vil’s wishes to have both our training grounds and your bodies to be as beautiful as can be. | |
Jamil |
You seem to know him very well, Rook-senpai. | |
Ace |
I feel like he’s more of an enabler though. | |
Rook |
Being a mere spectator to beautiful people and beautiful things provide me with such happiness. Beauty is a powerful thing that can either save or destroy its watcher. However, it is fleeting as well. Take your eyes off it and it will disappear. Which is why I am here to offer what help I can to help save beauty. | |
Jamil |
So you mean to say that you view Vil-senpai as a sort of beautiful art piece in a sense? He is very beautiful, I admit. However… I cannot imagine him to be someone so fragile that he would need saving… | |
Kalim |
Me, too. Vil is more like a diamond to me. Beautiful, but very tough. | |
Rook |
Very much so. Vil does not need me to save him. The moment you try and reach out to help him, all it will guarantee is a 13cm heel right at the top of your head! What I want to protect is not Vil himself, but rather the “beauty” he possesses. | |
Ace |
'(whispers) Damn… I’m so confused… | |
Deuce |
(whispers) Pomefiore residents are quite different, huh… | |
Epel |
(whispers) I’m in Pomefiore, but I find them difficult to understand sometimes… Maybe…? | |
Grim |
(whispers) There’s nothing we can do about it now, yanno? | |
Rook |
Fufufu, you will surely understand soon enough. Beauty that is blinding will surely bring light to your lives… You will know as soon as you encounter such a magnificent being. | |
