Well, all that happened…

You picked a fight with a Prefect on your first day!?
|
Epel
Epel
|
I didn’t know how strong a Prefect was back then! You and Ace picked a fight with your Prefect on the first day, too!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Ack… I-I wouldn’t call that a fight…
|
Epel
Epel

Back in my hometown, being tall and well-built was a sign of “strength.” I’ve always been teased for what I looked like… Now that I think about it, Prefect may not have been making fun of me, but…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I feel you. I wouldn’t like being underestimated, too.
|
Epel
Epel
|
In the end, I haven’t won against Prefect once.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I see. So that’s what all the fuss was about. Just like Hunt-senpai said, you weren’t simply picking a fight.
|
Epel
Epel
|
I was told I could do what I want if I won, but… It’s not really working. I really want to get stronger…
|
Deuce

………

Asim-senpai and Hunt-senpai told me something before I left. They said we should treasure the power that we hold right now. And then, I got to thinking around on my own. My own strength is probably… How I’m amazingly idiotic in some ways.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Eh? Isn’t that something you really hated about yourself?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yeah, but… It could also mean not overthinking things and just going for it.
|
Epel
Epel
|
…!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I may overthink a lot, but I’m not particularly sharp. But it’s exactly why I can accomplish anything if I really put my mind to it. This is probably the “power” only I’m capable of. My disadvantages can become my strength.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Still… I don’t really understand it. What I want to replace is how I look, remember? Being delicate and girly-looking don’t really qualify as strength, do they…?
|
(phone ringing)
|
Epel
Epel
|
It’s my phone. This number is… from home?
|
(beep)
|
Epel
Epel
|
Hello?
|
Epel's Mother
|
Epel!? What happened to the juice we sent you!?
|
Epel
Epel
|
Huh, the apple juice? You told me to share with my friends, so I did…
|
Epel's Mother
|
We’ve gotten a lot of orders from all over the world!
|
Epel
Epel
|
WHAT?!
|
Epel's Mother
|
Ya know, I asked one customer where they heard about it, and they told me, “I saw Vil Schoenheit’s ‘gram,” or somethin’ like that! Vil-san’s your Prefect, isn’t he?!
|
Epel
Epel
|
Vil-san’s ‘gram…? Wait, you mean his Magi-Came!? W-wait, let me check!
|
|
Vil

|
My routine! # One drink before lessons # Apple juice from Harveston # All natural tastes # It’s good for the skin, too
|
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
It’s true…! Vil-senpai uploaded a picture of him with the apple juice!
|
Epel's Mother
|
It was a tough time trynna get through all the phone calls! I asked for some help at the village association and from the neighborhood! We might make it in time if we worked together! We were getting worried about production, but… The whole village is so happy now! Thank you so much, dear! Please give Vil-san our thanks, too!
|
(a barrage of phone calls)
|
Epel's Mother
|
We’re getting’ busy, so I’m ‘angin’ up soon. We’ll send you some more soon.
|
(Epel’s mother hangs up)
|
Epel
Epel
|
Wait, Ma…! She hung up…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
That’s amazing… They keep commenting about ordering more juice.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Ah……!
