I wonder what they’ll ask me for the traditional birthday interview this year.
*chuckle* Such a formal occasion has me feeling nervous for some reason.
The gift giver chosen by the magical birthday dice should be arriving right about now…
|
| ???
|
Sorry for intruding.
|
 Silver
Silver
|
Today is my turn to be the gift giver. Glad to be here.
|
Jade
Jade
|
So you were the one the dice chose? Shall we get this interview started?
|
Silver
Silver
|
Let’s. Happy birthday, Jade. Here’s my present.
The store I bought it from didn’t offer a gift wrapping service, so forgive the shoddy appearance.
|
Jade
Jade
|
So that’s why you put it in a brown paper bag and tied it off with a bow. Thank you very much.
Then I’ll take a moment to open it and see your gift straight away.
Th-This is…!
|
Silver
Silver
|
You must have to head up into the mountains pretty often as part of the mountain lovers club, right?
I chose the present that was the most practical, but that bewildered expression must mean you don’t like it.
Sebek also warned me that this was too rustic to give as a gift. I’m sorry, I really have no clue what’s trendy.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Silver…
I never would have presumed to receive such a wonderful present.
You got me rope of all things!
Actually, the other day II went hiking by myself and almost slipped all the way back down the slope…
So I was thinking that I needed some good, sturdy rope to support my hiking endeavors.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Really? I’m just glad that you liked my gift.
I did select this rope with the purpose of keeping goods tied down and preventing sliding in mind. I wanted to get something good to use in the outdoors.
If your goal is to remain as safe as possible while up in the mountains, then learning how to properly tie and manipulate rope is crucial, as well as your own movements.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Which means that merely learning ropework isn’t enough to challenge particularly tough mountains.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Correct. Strength and balance, along with flexibility and agility must all be developed together.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Simply put, in order to climb the steepest mountains, one must master the necessary skills and have the physical capabilities to match.
Thinking about how to train myself in the long-term, starting with ropework would probably be best.
Would I be able to ask your advice when I hit an eventual wall?
|
Silver
Silver
|
Sure. Let me know when you need me.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Thank you, that really inspires confidence.
|
|
|
Silver
Silver
|
Okay, time for the interview.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Very well.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Among the students at Night Raven College, who would you choose to be your sibling?
However, no choosing someone from the same dorm. Go ahead.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Siblings…is it? That’s a more difficult question than I was expecting.
|
Silver
Silver
|
It’s difficult? Is there something you’re hung up on?
|
Jade
Jade
|
That I am. Only those recognized by the Dark Mirror as an excellent mage are allowed to attend Night Raven College.
There are plenty of students here that I’d love to have as a sibling. Everyone has their pros, so I’m a bit stuck on how to answer.
|
Silver
Silver
|
There’s no right answer. Pick someone you’d like to have as part of your family.
|
Jade
Jade
|
*chuckle* Silver, you are such a straightforward person.
To you family means someone like Malleus or Lilia who’ve you known since childhood.
Malleus is counted among the most powerful mages, and Lilia has a wide breadth of knowledge.
I’m sure you had plenty of opportunities to learn from them in all that time spent together.
|
Silver
Silver
|
You’re right about that. Sebek and I both have a deep respect for Lord Malleus and Lilia for all they did.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I am nothing but jealous that you have those around you that you can have those feelings for.
Listening to you has me also wishing for an older brother that I could always count on.
While I admire the life you must have spent with Malleus and Lilia…
…I think having Cater for a brother would make everyday rather enjoyable.
|
Silver
Silver
|
So Cater’s your answer? True, he has quite the bright and cheerful image to him.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Wouldn’t you agree that whenever Cater is on the scene the mood takes on a cheerful air?
His skills at digging up information on magicam or spreading information are also worth note.
If he could teach me the techniques for making a photo go viral…
…then I could spread the love for mountains all across the world through the power of magicam.
Then there might be more people looking to join my mountain lovers club.
|
Silver
Silver
|
I don’t really know all that much about magicam, but I hope you can show more people what you love.
|
Jade
Jade
|
*chuckle* Thank you for that.
|
Silver
Silver
|
And even if you aren’t related by blood, you could learn from him during day to day interactions.
If there is something you’d like to know, then have you tried just asking Cater for advice?
|
Jade
Jade
|
I suppose I should. Cater also has some amazing social skills. One of these days, I’d like to have a nice, long talk with him.
If that happens…I would hope he would be willing to answer some things he normally wouldn’t.
|
|
|
Silver
Silver
|
Here’s the next question.
If you were to enter a dormitory other than Octavinelle, which would it be?
|
Jade
Jade
|
That’s another difficult question. Each of our dorms has its own strengths after all.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Agreed. No matter where you’d end up, there would be a lot to learn.
|
Jade
Jade
|
That said, thinking logically, there are several dorms that wouldn’t be a good fit for me.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Not a good fit? What do you mean by that?
|
Jade
Jade
|
There are some that raise some environmental concerns.
As someone who was born and raised at the bottom of the sea, I don’t have much in the way of resistance to especially hot and dry places.
I’m taking a human form now thanks to a potion, that’s not something that changes based on my mood.
|
Silver
Silver
|
That’s right, you’re a merman. So the dry air of Scarabia or Savanaclaw would wreck your skin.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes, it’s quite the shame really. Both of those dorms have their facets that fascinate me, so many.
|
Silver
Silver
|
That’s the way of things. Everyone has their strong and weak points, after all.
|
Jade
Jade
|
*chuckle* Thank you for being considerate.
Taking my own uniqueness into account… I’ve decided. I would chose Pomefiore to transfer to.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Pomefiore has many exceptional students. I’m sure you’d fit in just fine.
|
Jade
Jade
|
That would be wonderful. I do think I’d have quite the back-breaking time trying to achieve their level of elegance.
My reasoning for choosing Pomefiore is for their long-held interest in magical concoctions.
|
Silver
Silver
|
What has you so intrigued by that interest?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Thinking back now, the school that merfolk attend has them taking classes on the Sea Witch.
She solved the problems of countless merfolk with numerous potions out of benevolence.
All of her amazing achievements impressed me. I can still remember it clearly.
Since coming up on land, I continue to find more and more things that interest me.
When I go hiking I come upon all kinds of things I can take back and use in potions. Rare plants, animal claws, and insect wings.
Joining a dorm that has so many students knowledgeable about potions and deepening my own knowledge on the subject…
…I might be able to come up with new ways to use those ingredients or formulate new concoctions. …Is what I think anyway.
|
Silver
Silver
|
So that’s it. Hearing more about your passion for academics makes me take it seriously, too.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I’m honored. As students of Night Raven College, let us continue to learn everything that we can.
|
|
|
Silver
Silver
|
That’s the end of the interview. Next is…
|
Jade
Jade
|
The main event that will really make you tense up. Time to present the gift of good fortune.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Correct. Jade, have you made your peace?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Of course. I’ve been looking forward to this. Have at it, Silver.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Got it. Then I will fulfill my gift giver duties to the best of my abilities.
Jade, happy birthday!

The customary birthday interview… I wonder what sort of questions will be posed to me this time.
Fufufu. The moment this formal venue was set up, I can’t help but feel a tad bit nervous.
Now, it’s coming to that time when the presenter chosen by the “Magical Birthday Dice” is set to arrive, but…
|
| ???
|
Excuse me.
|
Silver
Silver
|
I will be attending as your presenter today. I look forward to it.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Ah, so my chosen presenter is Silver-san. I too am looking forward to this.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Yeah. Jade, happy birthday. This is my present to you.
There was no wrapping services at the store I bought this from, so I’m afraid it doesn’t look very impressive…
|
Jade
Jade
|
I see, so that is why you went out of your way to put it in a brown paper bag and stick a ribbon on it. Thank you very much.
Then, allow me to open it and look inside forthwith.
Th-this is…!
|
Silver
Silver
|
You go into the mountains regularly as per the activities of the Mountain Lovers’ Clubs, right?
I chose a present that would have the highest practical use but… That dazed look; do you not like it?
Even Sebek was appalled, saying “That’s too boorish to be a present.” My apologies, I just know too little of the current trends.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Silver-san…
I had no idea I would receive such a spectacular present!
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU’VE GIVEN ME ROPE!!
In fact, just the other day when I was climbing a mountain by myself, I had almost slipped on the slope…
So I had just been musing about how I would like to have a sturdy rope to be able to support my body.
|
Silver
Silver
|
I see. I’m glad to hear that you like it.
Nonetheless, this rope was chosen for its usefulness for outdoor activities… for example as a clothesline or a brace to prevent slipping.
To guarantee your safety while mountaineering, you’ll need to master how to tie the rope, use it properly, and of course how to carry yourself with it.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Which means… It would be unsatisfactory to simply memorize various ropework techniques in order to challenge the steep mountains, yes?
|
Silver
Silver
|
That’s right. You need to cultivate your muscle strength and balancing ability, as well as your flexibility and agility… basically your whole comprehensive physical ability.
|
Jade
Jade
|
In order to challenge a steep mountain, suitable tools and physical ability are required… it seems.
If I look at building up my body as a long-term goal… I believe I could begin with training in ropework techniques.
If I find myself at an impasse, would it be alright to request your instruction, Silver-san?
|
Silver
Silver
|
I got it. Reach out to me when you need to.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Thank you very much. That is quite reassuring.

|
|
Silver
Silver
|
Well then, let us start the interview now.
|
Jade
Jade
|
All right.
|
Silver
Silver
|
“If you could pick any student from Night Raven College to be your sibling, who would you choose?”
However, you cannot choose anyone from your own dorm… is what it says.
|
Jade
Jade
|
A sibling… you say. That’s a more difficult question than I had initially thought.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Difficult? Is something tripping you up?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Of course. Only those that have been deemed to have the disposition of a excellent mage are chosen by the Dark Mirror to be accepted to Night Raven College.
I’m sure there’s much to be gained by whoever I choose as a sibling, therefore… I find myself a little troubled in what my answer could be, as everyone is so fascinating.
|
Silver
Silver
|
There isn’t a correct answer to this. Just put up the name of the person you’d like to have as family.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Fufufu. Silver-san, you’re quite a straightforward person.
Speaking of family… You’ve known Malleus-san and Lilia-san ever since your childhood, if I recall.
Malleus-san is one of the world’s most prominent mages. And Lilia-san as well, has extensive knowledge.
Having the two of them beside you, wouldn’t you have many opportunities to learn from a great number of perspectives?
|
Silver
Silver
|
Yes, that’s true. Both Sebek and I hold both Malleus-sama and Lilia-senpai in high esteem from the bottom of our hearts.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I cannot help but be utterly envious that you have someone you feel that strongly about so close to you.
After listening to your story, I’ve started to want a reliable older brother.
In that vein, I suppose I would long for a life with a capable older brother like Malleus-san or Lilia-san, however…
If Cater-san was to be my brother, I believe every day would be enjoyable.
|
Silver
Silver
|
So, Cater-senpai, hm. It’s true that he gives off a cheery and lively impression.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I see you think so as well, Silver-san. When Cater-san is around, it feels as though the atmosphere becomes more colorful.
Also, it is quite amazing how proficient he is in his knowledge of intelligence gathering and dissemination on Magicam.
If I could just start with learning his technique of taking photos that’ll “go viral”…
Using Magicam, I would be able to relay the beauty of the mountains to people all over the world.
Consequently, there may be a rush of new applicants for the Mountain Lover’s Club.
|
Silver
Silver
|
I don’t really know about about Magicam but… I think it would be great if you could show many people the things you love.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Fufu, thank you.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Besides, even if you are not connected by blood, you can still learn from him from day-to-day interactions.
If there is something you wish to know, you should ask Cater-senpai directly for his advice.
|
Jade
Jade
|
That is true. Cater-senpai is also exceptional when it comes to sociability. One day I would like to take some time to talk with him.
When that happens… I would be delighted if I could pose questions I would not normally be able to ask of him.

Silver

Next question.
“If you were to join any dorm other than Octavinelle, which dorm would you choose?”
|
Jade
Jade
|
This is another difficult question. Each dorm in this school has their own strengths, after all…
|
Silver
Silver
|
I agree. No matter which dorm you chose to transfer to, there is much that can be learned.
|
Jade
Jade
|
However, if I were to think about this realistically, there are many dorms that would not suit me.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Would not suit you…? What do you mean?
|
Jade
Jade
|
I have some apprehension when it comes to certain environments.
Perhaps it is due to being born and raised in the sea depths, but I would be averse to extreme heat or dry climates.
Currently, since I have this human body thanks to a magical potion, this may merely be just an issue of comfort.
|
Silver
Silver
|
That’s right. You’re one of the merfolk. That could mean that the climate in Scarabia or Savanaclaw wouldn’t suit your skin.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Indeed. It is a great shame. An even greater shame is that I can understand the appeal of both those dorms.
|
Silver
Silver
|
It can’t be helped. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses after all.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Fufufu, thank you for your consideration.
If I were to think of my own aptitude… I’ve decided. I would choose Pomefiore to transfer to.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Pomefiore is filled with refined students. I’m sure you would get used to it quickly.
|
Jade
Jade
|
That would be nice. However, I feel it would require much effort on my part to gain the same elegance as those students in Pomefiore.
The only reason why I have chosen Pomefiore is that for some time now I have admired potion making.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Was there something that inspired your admiration?
|
Jade
Jade
|
If I think back on it now, I supposed it could be due to the courses we as merfolk took in school on the Sea Witch.
She would create countless potions and, with her spirit of compassion, would solve the troubles of the poor merfolk.
I still vividly recall how her many achievements left a strong impression on me.
And once I came to the surface, that interest grew stronger.
When I climb mountains, I can gather various ingredients for potions… such as unusual plants and animal fangs or insect wings.
If I were to enroll in the dorm where the students are experienced in magical potions, and I can widen my own knowledge…
Then I would be able to learn methods to fully utilize the materials, or find new blends of magical potions… was my thought process.
|
Silver
Silver
|
I see. I’m so touched by your desire to learn that I feel it inspired as well.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I’m honored. As students of Night Raven College, let us continue to increase our knowledge in many aspects.
|
|
|
Silver
Silver
|
The interview is now finished. Next is…
|
Jade
Jade
|
The main event to sum everything up. The presentation of the “Gift of Good Wishes,” is it?
|
Silver
Silver
|
That’s exactly it. Jade, have you prepared yourself.?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Of course. I have been awaiting this moment. Silver-san, please do not hesitate.
|
Silver
Silver
|
Got it. In that case, allow me to complete my role of presenter with this.
Jade, Happy Birthday!
