Jade  |
You broke your contract with Azul.
And yet you refuse to work at the Mostro Lounge, as was the agreed upon price… I'm afraid you're not making any sense. | |
| Savanaclaw Student | B-but it's every day until graduation… and no one ever said I would have to work for free! | |
Jade |
It was written quite clearly in the contract. You should really read important documents more carefully before signing. | |
| Savanaclaw Student | Who'd notice something so tiny written in the corner like that!? This kind of thing is null and void… | |
Floyd  |
Huh? Null and void? …What'd you say? | |
| Savanaclaw Student | Eek! | |
Jade |
Now, now, Floyd, you shouldn't make such a scary face. We must treat our clients with respect.
…But only to our "clients." This is not the case for those who try to evade paying their debts. | |
| Savanaclaw Student | U-urgh… | |

| Octavinelle Dorm - Hallway | ||
Floyd |
Kay, one down～ Today's "job" is smooth sailing. | |
Jade |
Indeed. It is helpful that a majority of them concede once we "explain" things carefully to them. | |
Floyd |
You do a lot of that annoying explaining stuff～ Even though we'd finish faster if y'just threaten them. Weirdo.
You remember every little detail of Azul's difficult contracts, and you speak circles 'round them until they just clam up. I hate that kinda roundabout way of doing things. | |
Jade |
That is just fine for you. Azul and I are different in that sense.
If we were to compare our ways to a frontal attack, then yours would be… Hm, let's see. Perhaps we could call it a surprise attack, or a missile attack. | |
Floyd |
Whaddya mean by that～ You praising me? Or insulting me? | |
Jade |
Of course, I mean it as a compliment.
No matter how difficult the problem, you often come to a solution that no one else would have ever thought of, don't you? | |
Floyd |
Do I? Never really thought about it. | |
Jade |
Fufufu, we do really count on you. …Now, let us make our way to our next "job." | |

Floyd |
…You wanna buy the rights to that drink that Umiuma-kun selling at the school store? | |
Azul  |
Yes, I do. That popular, original "Mystery Drink" that Sam-san began selling at his shop…
I'll do anything to make that spectacular product mine. I would like you to acquire the exclusive selling rights for it. | |
Jade |
You simply say acquire… what are you willing to pay to do so? | |
Azul |
The absolute cheapest you can possibly get. | |
Jade |
Given that he is an amazingly adept salesman, it seems quite the unreasonable request. | |
Azul |
Don't you think that makes it even more rewarding…? Floyd, I'll be requesting you to acquire this. | |
Floyd |
Eeeeh～ Meee? It's so annoying to deal with all the something something purchasing terms and blah blah contracts blah. | |
Azul |
Jade won't be available for this job, as I've given him a different one this time around. I do not care how you do it, but I'm counting on you. | |
Floyd |
The shop, huh… | |

| Mister S's Mystery Shop | ||
Sam  |
Hey, you little imps over there, you're buying a Mystery Drink too? …Thank you!
Ｈｅｙ. Don't get all impatient, and just wait in line like good kids, all you little imps! | |
Floyd |
There's so many people here, it's like a school of sardines. | |
Sam |
…Okay, next is the large impling. Sorry to keep you waiting, are you here for a Mystery Drink too? | |
Floyd |
Nope. …Y'know～ I gotta request. | |
Sam |
A request, my favorite word. Whatever you could possibly want is ＩＮ ＳＴＯＣＫ ＮＯＷ!
That's what my Mystery Shop is for. And so, what is your request? | |
Floyd |
Gimme the selling rights to the Mystery Drink. | |
Sam |
….What? | |
Floyd |
Didn't you hear me? I said to sell me the rights to the drink. | |
Sam |
Uhh, what do you mean? | |
Floyd |
We wanna sell and profit off of that Mystery Drink thing.
So gimme all the selling rights. …Is what I'm asking for. | |
Sam |
…Hahaha, what a funny little imp! By the way, what would your budget be? | |
Floyd |
Azul said as cheap as possible. | |
Sam |
And an honest little imp too… You have to keep that kind of information close to your chest.
Anything and everything is ＩＮ ＳＴＯＣＫ ＮＯＷ! …But I can't sell it to you for those terms. The Mystery Drink is my number one most popular product right now. I can't just easily give up the selling rights like that. If you're serious about purchasing it from me, though, we can have a serious business conversat... | |
Floyd |
Eeh, lame. Then nevermind. | |
Sam |
…Aren't you giving up too early!? | |
Floyd |
Azul told me to come buy it, but I'm not at all interested in makin' deals or anything like that.
That kinda talk is no fun at all. Would be cool if it was a bit more exciting. So I'mma go home. | |
Sam |
Oh? Seems like you're a pretty chilled little imp. | |
Floyd |
Ah, before I go home, gimme a peppermint candy. | |
Sam |
That'll be 100 madol. | |
Floyd |
Kaaaay. | |
Sam |
And then he buys it even without bargaining the price here… This little imp's a slippery one to read. | |

Floyd |
I wonder if Azul's gonna get mad when I tell him that I couldn't get the stuff he wanted.
Eh, I'll deal with it later. I'll just head back to the dorm for n… Ow! Ugh～ I thought I was gonna trip. There's something caught on my leg… Eh? Is it a person? …Yup, it's Kurage-chan. Sleeping in a weird place again. | |
Silver  |
Zzz… Zzz… | |
Floyd |
Heeey Kurage-chan, you're in the way when you sleep on the road like that. Hey… I said hey! | |
Silver |
…Ah! I was sleeping once again.
Thanks for waking me up, Floyd. I thought I would take a slight break, but then I started to feel drowsy… [Yawn] | |
Floyd |
Sounds like you're still sleepy, Kurage-chan. | |
Silver |
My apologies… You wouldn't happen to have on you something to help me stay awake, would you? | |
Floyd |
To stay awake? All I got is a peppermint candy. | |
Silver |
That's perfect. Do you think you could give that to me? | |
Floyd |
Eeeh～ I don't know… What're you gonna give me? If ya want it, ya gotta pay for it. | |
Silver |
The only thing I can give you in return is… this blue ink that I just bought at the school store.
I was on an errand for Lilia-senpai. I bought an abundance of it, so there would be no problem giving you one. | |
Floyd |
Ink, huh… Don't really need it…
Eh, whatever, that's fine. I wanna see how you'd look when your eyes are focused and sharp, anyway. Kay, lets exchange the candy and ink. | |
Silver |
Thank you… I feel a little more awake now that I've bitten into that mint. I appreciate it, goodbye. | |
Floyd |
I wonder if Jade'll use this ink… Hm? That red hair I spy walking up ahead…
Kingyo-chaaaan! How're ya doing? | |
Riddle  |
Floyd… Stop it with that strange nickname. Furthermore, I don't have time to deal with you. | |
Floyd |
You're always saying that. Always so prickly～ | |
Riddle |
That is because unlike you, I am very busy. According to the Laws of the Queen of Hearts…
"You must record minutes with blue ink at the meeting where prizes are decided for the croquet tournament." Even so, due to class running over schedule, I hadn't been able to buy any blue ink. | |
Floyd |
Oh. I got some blue in here. Want it? | |
Riddle |
No, I will buy some from the school store, so it is not necessary! It's frightful enough just to think about borrowing anything from you. | |
Floyd |
Kurage-chan said he just bought a bunch, y'know～ They might be sold out. | |
Riddle |
Kurage-chan? Who is that… | |
Floyd |
Here ya go. | |
Riddle |
Ack. Don't push it onto me so suddenly. | |
Floyd |
In exchange, I'ma get your notebook～ | |
Riddle |
Hey! Why are you taking my notebook?! | |
Floyd |
Cause you're not carrying anything else right now. It's not fair if I don't get something in return～ | |
Riddle |
I just said I would go buy the ink myself! Return my notebook immediately! | |
Trey  |
There you are, Riddle. If we don't hurry, we'll be late for the meeting. | |
Riddle |
Trey, I'm sorry, but I'm in the middle of something right now…! | |
Floyd |
Byeee～ | |
Riddle |
Hey! Come back… FLOYD! | |

| Main Street | ||
Floyd |
I grabbed this notebook 'cause it's funny to see Kingyo-chan all puffy and angry, but I don't need it at all～
Uhhh, let's see… It's notes for alchemy class, huh. He's really written a buncha little detailed notes. Kingyo-chan's always so serious～ | |
Jamil  |
Floyd. What good timing. | |
Kalim  |
Yo, fancy running into you here～! | |
Floyd |
Hey, Umihebi-kun and Rakko-chan. …Man, I'm running into everyone today. | |
Jamil |
Umihebi-kun…? Well, anyway. I need you to let the captain know that I most likely won't be making it in time for club today. | |
Floyd |
Eeeh～ Tell him yourself～ I'm not really feeling like going to basketball practice today either. | |
Jamil |
Please, I'm practically begging you, I've got a ton to deal with. Kalim, he… | |
Kalim |
I completely forgot that Crewel-sensei gave me alchemy homework.
And on top of it all, it's due today! Argh, I'm in a pickle. | |
Jamil |
You just got yelled at last week when you forgot then, too… Who knows what will happen if you do the same thing once more! | |
Kalim |
Jamil, you're pretty good at alchemy, right? So I thought if we did it together, I would be able to finish it quickly. | |
Jamil |
Don't you need a week's worth of experimental results and the data analysis that goes with it?
If it were just a series of problems to solve, I could do it for you instead, but you just skipped the whole experiment in the first place. If you don't have an experiment to even get results from, I can't help you at all. | |
Kalim |
Man, but I'm just no good at doing things little by little like that. | |
Floyd |
Me too～ | |
Jamil |
Tch… I can't allow Kalim get a failing grade here…
Hm? Floyd, that notebook you have in your hands… It's labeled "Alchemy"… | |
Floyd |
This? These're Kingyo-chan's notes. | |
Jamil |
Kingyo… You mean Riddle!? Why do you have Riddle's alchemy notes? | |
Floyd |
He gave it to me. | |
Jamil |
There's no way Riddle would ever give you his notes. I bet you forcibly took it from him, yeah? | |
Floyd |
No way. He didn't come chasing after me, so. | |
Jamil |
…Hey, can you lend me that notebook? I'll definitely pay you back. | |
Floyd |
If you're gonna give me something for it, sure. I don't need this anymore.
Here ya go. | |
Jamil |
You've saved me...!
…Just as I expected. The results of every experiment we did from this semester is taken down in detail in this notebook. I'd expect nothing less from the top of our class. Riddle, I'll make sure to give this back to you once Kalim's homework is done, so no hard feelings…! | |
Kalim |
Ooh, so we're going to be okay now? Thanks, Floyd. This helps so much! | |
Floyd |
I don't really get it, but yay, good for you～ | |
Kalim |
Just like Jamil promised, I'll go grab a thank you gift. Just wait here for a moment, I'll go grab it from the dorm! | |
Floyd |
What're you gonna give me? | |
Kalim |
I'll give you this one bright red stone that was said to have been hidden away in the same cave that held a magical lamp!
It's super pretty. This'll be my thanks for saving my hide. | |
Jamil |
When you say red stone… You don't mean!? | |
Floyd |
Eeh～ I'm even less interested in stones than notebooks… I guess I'll take it if you're gonna give it to me, though. | |
|
| ||
| Main Street | ||
Floyd |
Rakko-chan gave me this bright red stone, but it's huge and heavy… What am I supposed to do with this?
"This'll be my thanks for saving my hide!" is what he said, but it's more annoying than anything. And Umihebi-kun kinda had this weird look on his face. Eh, it's got nothing to do with me, I guess. Azul likes these kinds of shiny stones, so maybe I'll give this to him. Then maybe he won't get angry that I wasn't able to get the rights to that drink from the school store… Ah, that reminds me. I gave Kurage-chan my candy that I bought. I kinda want to chomp on something hard now～ | |

| [slams door open!!] | ||
Sam |
Uragh, what's going on!? Why was the door suddenly kicked down…? | |
| ||
Floyd |
Excuse meee～ | |
Sam |
Y-you're… that super reckless little imp that tried to buy the rights to my best-selling drink today.
Were you possibly… waiting for my store to close and all the customers to leave so you could come back and take it by force or… | |
Floyd |
Gimme one peppermint candy. | |
Sam |
What, you just came to buy some candy!? Then just enter normally without breaking down my door!
…Hm? Wait, Little Imp. What's that in your hand…? | |
Floyd |
Eh? It's creepy when you get all up in my face so suddenly like that. | |
Sam |
Is it… Could it possibly be…!? | |
Floyd |
Umiuma-kun, you're too close! If you don't back off, I'll squeeze you. | |
Sam |
This is… a legendary gemstone from the Scalding Sands! It's said to be made from exposing the desert sand to magic for thousands upon thousands of years!
A-and it's an unbelievably large size too… Why do you have such a valuable thing in your hands!? | |
Floyd |
This stone? Someone gave it to me. | |
Sam |
Gave it to you!? What could you have possibly done to have received such a legendary gemstone!?
I had been wanting to add this to my collection one day, too… This kind of chance won't come again. Please! Give me that gemstone! | |
Floyd |
Eh, I don't wanna.
…I don't really need a gemstone, but now that someone wants it, I don't wanna give it～ Hahah. | |
Sam |
Then, how about from now until graduation, I'll let you have all the bread you could possibly want from my store. How's that? | |
Floyd |
I'd get bored just eating bread all the time. Nah. | |
Sam |
Ｎｏ ｄｏｕｂｔ…That was my bad for trying to cheat you there. Let's talk business then!
How about 5 million… No, 10 million madol!? | |
Floyd |
Money, huh～ I don't really need any right now. Don't really use much money living on campus anyway. | |
Sam |
You drive a hard bargain…
Then… the rights to the Mystery Drink that you originally wanted! How about that!? | |
Floyd |
Eh? Seriously? That okay? | |
Sam |
If I can get my hands on that gemstone, then it's a no-brainer! Here you go, the contract with my signature that signs away the sales rights.
As long as you have this, my best-selling product, the Mystery Drink, is all yours. | |
Floyd |
You're really fired up all of a sudden. Is that rock that valuable?
…Eh, I don't really care, and I'd rather Azul not get angry at me, so whatever. Mmkay, so the gemstone for the signed contract. Catch! | |
Sam |
Aaah, don't throw it! …I really don't get this kid!! | |
|

| Octavinelle Dorm - Lounge | ||
Floyd |
I'm back～ | |
Azul |
Welcome home, Floyd. How was it over at the store? Is everything going smoothly? | |
Floyd |
Yeah. I got the rights to the Mystery Drink. | |
Azul |
Eh, already!? That's so fast… I do hope you negotiated the price properly to pay the least amount possible.
I've prepared to spend a certain amount on this, but his original asking price is just too much. How much were you able to buy it from him for? | |
Floyd |
Eh? 100 madol. | |
Azul |
I see, 100… 100 madol!!!??
You must be joking, didn't you mean to say a million madol!? No, but even then that would be too cheap… | |
Floyd |
It's true. I only spent 100 madol. | |
Azul |
I can't believe he would sell his best-selling item for mere pocket change… What is Sam-san thinking…!? | |
Floyd |
Here ya go, take it. In return, gimme the 100 madol I spent. | |
Azul |
Yes, of course. …This cannot be, his signature truly is on this.
As long as I have this… Fufufu…!! | |
Jade |
Floyd, you've returned rather promptly. Good work. | |
Floyd |
Ah, Jade is back too. Aren't you busy with that "other business" you've got going on? | |
Jade |
I've only just returned in order to prepare for that "other business."
Yet, it's astounding to hear that you were able to acquire an item for only 100 madol that we were prepared to cost us millions. | |
Floyd |
Oh, so you were listening. It wasn't really anything special. Just the price of candy. | |
Jade |
Candy? Whatever do you mean? | |
Floyd |
So… | |
Jade |
I understand now, you traded a valuable gemstone for which Sam-san was willing to pay any amount, for the Mystery Drink rights.
…It may be better to keep this from Azul. | |
Floyd |
Really? It shouldn't matter what I traded it for, as long as it was just the price of that one candy, right? | |
Jade |
Fufufu. Perhaps it was all thanks to your disinterest in such things that this venture ended in success.
You're always able to do things that result in oucomes impossible to predict. It is something I would never be able to do for myself. It definitely was the right choice in choosing you as my partner when we were young, Floyd. You are something special. | |
Floyd |
Eh? What're you grinning about now? I'm also glad that you were the one that ended up surviving together with me.
…Aaah――――!!!! | |
Jade |
What is the matter? | |
Floyd |
I complely forgot to buy my candy! That was the whole reason I went back to the store on the way home…
Eeeh～ …This sucks～ | |
