Jade  |
I can't stand to be around Azul any longer. I hope you can find a place for me here at Pomefiore. | |
Vil  |
...Jade just keeps repeating the same thing over and over. He won't take no for an answer. | |
Rook  |
I just can't believe it, Monsieur Mastermind.
To hear you say that you no longer wish to be the vice leader of Octavinelle... | |
Jade |
Every day I've endured the gruelling environment there.
Azul forcing his unreasonable demands on to me, making me work to the bone for the sake of the dormitory, and at times, even sullying my own hands doing his dirty work... sobbing I just can't bear it any longer. | |
Vil |
And here it always looked like you were smiling and enjoying yourself. | |
Jade |
It must have been your imagination. | |
Vil |
First of all, I'm curious about why you would choose to come here when you have plenty of other options. | |
Jade |
I was simply impressed by your natural leadership ability.
Your strong-minded attitude when it comes to doing whatever it takes to reach your goals, and the self-encouragement you give when guiding the first year students... I was honestly moved by the beautiful sight of it. It made me wish to be more like you. | |
Rook |
Ah, indeed you have a fine understanding of beauty, Jade-kun. It seems you have a great eye for it!! | |
Vil |
In what way. It sounds fake if you ask me. | |
Rook |
However, wouldn't it make things terribly difficult for everyone at Octavinelle if you were no longer there?
Are you sure? | |
Jade |
It only goes to show how weak they are if the entire place would collapse with just one person gone. | |
Rook |
How severe! I'm stunned. | |
Jade |
This isn't a decision I came to lightly. If you'd be willing to find a place for me at Pomefiore, I'll do anything you ask of me. | |
Vil |
Anything, you say... Rook, come here for a second? | |
Rook |
Ah. Jade-kun... Would you mind waiting here a moment? Give Vil and I some time to discuss it over. | |
Jade |
Of course. Take all the time that you need. | |
Rook |
...Do you think he's telling the truth? | |
Vil |
He can't be. At Octavinelle trying to snare people into some kind of trap comes as naturally as breathing.
At least when it comes to peddling sales they're slightly more believable. He's definitely up to something. | |
Rook |
Fufufu, you're absolutely right.
So how do you want to handle it? It would be easy to send him on his way but... That brilliant sparkle in your eye tells me you have other plans. | |
Vil |
Fu, naturally I do.
Even among the dorm leaders Jade has a remarkable reputation for being able to take care of anything Azul asks of him, no matter how difficult. Like some kind of super-secretary. | |
Rook |
Oya, I can't help but feel envious. Could it be he's even more remarkable than me, vice leader of Pomefiore? | |
Vil |
From the very beginning you've avoided doing any secretary work. And not because you can't.
...Also for the sake of competing against the other dorms, I think it's necessary to see if he's truly as remarkable as they say he is. I have no clue what he's really up to, but regardless he's come all the way here to involve us. Let's turn the tables and use him instead. Of course, if he even causes me the slightest bit of trouble I won't show him any mercy. | |
Rook |
Oui. I thought you'd say something like that. As always, your wit is as strong as your will, Vil. | |
Vil |
...Jade. | |
Jade |
Yes. Did you give it some consideration? | |
Vil |
Indeed. I'll let you stay here for a trial run. | |
Jade |
Is that so. I'm very grateful for your kindness. | |
Vil |
However, you'll be stripped of any seniority. As a new member, you'll be lower than any first year- a handyman if you will. | |
Jade |
That's fine. I understand. | |
Vil |
I plan on working you extremely hard. But that won't be a problem, will it? | |
Jade |
Of course not. I'll do anything you tell me to. | |
Epel  |
Vil.....san. I've finished my lessons for today... | |
Jade |
Oya, Epel-san. | |
Epel |
Jade... san. What brings you to our dorm? | |
Vil |
Good timing, Epel. From today Jade will be under your care. | |
Epel |
What?! | |
Vil |
I want you to thoroughly instruct him on how we do things here at Pomefiore and by all means, hold nothing back. Don't go easy on him. | |
Epel |
Teach J-Jade-senpai?!
Goin' and askin' me to do somethin' like th- ...that would be too much for me to handle, I guess? | |
Jade |
I'm obliged to be under the care of Pomefiore from today onwards. You can call me Jade. I'm looking forward to working with you, Epel-senpai. | |
Epel |
Eep! His smile is terrifying...! | |

Vil |
We're back, finally. | |
Jade |
We've returned. | |
Rook |
Welcome back, Vil! Our dormitory seems to shine all the brighter now that you've stepped through its doors.
And Jade-kun, you're back. I hope after accompanying Vil all day you were able to see for yourself what an excellent model he is. | |
Jade |
Indeed. A workout in the morning, writing a column during his break, and a photoshoot after school...
Then performing his dorm leader duties after that... I must say I'm impressed. | |
Vil |
Words that ring hollow coming from an assistant like you who performed their duties impeccably on the first day.
You even got along immediately with some of the more difficult industry types and your support during the shoot was perfect. You did a much better job than I'd anticipated. | |
Rook |
You must have done considerably well for Vil to say as much. Well done! | |
| knocking | ||
Azul  |
Good evening. Is Vil-san in... Oya, Jade. | |
Jade |
Azul... | |
Vil |
Ara, I wonder what business brings you to Pomefiore, Azul. Curious to see how your ex-vice is doing here? | |
Azul |
Not at all, I simply came to deliver some information regarding the dorm leader meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow. The headmaster asked me when I happened to run into him earlier.
...But what a relief it is to see that Jade certainly appears to be doing well. I could hear the excitement from all the way outside. Floyd and I were worried about whether you were getting along well elsewhere. | |
Jade |
Your concern was completely unnecessary. My time here at Pomefiore has been very fulfilling. | |
Rook |
It looks like things are about to heat up. How exciting! | |
Vil |
...... | |
Azul |
I'm glad to hear that. Despite your absence we've been doing completely fine on our own, so you needn't worry about us either. | |
Jade |
I hadn't given it any thought at all. | |
Azul |
Is that so.
Well... I shouldn't stay for too long. Since I've delivered the information, I'd best be on my way. | |
Jade |
Goodness... Finally he left. | |
Vil |
Surely you two had a lot to talk about and should have made use of our lounge to discuss everything over as long and as loudly as you needed to. | |
Jade |
No, he's nothing but an unpleasant acquaintance I seem unable to rid myself of... There's isn't much to say at all. | |
Rook |
But weren't you and Floyd-kun, your brother, childhood friends with Azul-kun? | |
Jade |
That's right. There are fewer merpeople than there are humans.
Because of that, the three of us had always been together since elementary school, you see. ...Well, when we were younger I didn't pay any attention to Azul, so I don't really remember it... | |
Vil |
But now the three of you are attached at the hip. It seems something must have brought you together. | |
Jade |
I've completely forgotten it now. | |
Vil |
Is that so. So you're saying you don't recall or seem to know anything about something so important.
...Well, in any case. It doesn't change how useful you are. Tomorrow I'll expect the same from you as today. | |
Jade |
Speaking of tomorrow, I saw you have that jewelry brand party to attend. As for your attire... | |
Vil |
I've already picked out a suit. ...I'm still deciding on the shoes. | |
Rook |
That's odd, isn't it? It's not like you to leave the shoes last.
Could it be that perhaps you had your heart set on a certain pair you weren't able to obtain? | |
Vil |
You're as perceptive as ever when it comes to me...
It's the Mirror Heels by the brand Ténèbres[1]... Their elusive heels are said to perfectly mirror the wearer's beauty! I was hoping to wear them to tomorrow's party... But unfortunately I wasn't able to get my hands on a pair. | |
Rook |
But surely a model as well-known as yourself must have had any number of contacts. | |
Vil |
The designer of Ténèbres's only sells to those deemed worthy of wearing their designs.
And because the designer is rarely shows their face, their presence remains somewhat of a myth. There are few opportunities to meet them in person. Their shoes are renown precisely because they're not available on the market. I didn't have enough time this time, but next time for sure... | |
Jade |
I was able to obtain a pair of these Mirror Heels you've been after. | |
Vil |
...What did you say? | |
Jade |
Here, these are them, are they not? | |
Vil |
The sophisticated shape of these high heels, with the brand logo on the insole and a brilliant shine as if they were created from a mirror itself...
I can't believe it... This is a real pair of Mirror Heels. | |
Rook |
Très bien! What a beautiful deep red they are. | |
Vil |
When did you... Rather, how did you even know I wanted these shoes in the first place? | |
Jade |
You left a memo on one of the pages of a magazine with an article on the designer.
I thought it was odd for you to go out of your way to do so and made a note of it. | |
Vil |
Even so, somehow you were able to get your hands on a pair. | |
Jade |
I had some contacts of my own... Fufufu. But anyway, please try them on. | |
| ||
Jade |
Pardon me, if you'll just place your foot here. | |
Vil |
...They fit perfectly. | |
Jade |
Indeed they look great on you. | |
Rook |
Oh, my stars! Not only do they show off his slender legs,
look at that calf line their exquisite height creates! Such definition! You look beautiful, Vil!! | |
Vil |
You did well, Jade. | |
Jade |
I'm glad that they please you. | |
Vil |
...I want to see just how far you'll go to meet my demands.
Book me a calf massage for my photoshoot tomorrow. | |
Jade |
Of course. I've made an appointment at your usual spa today. | |
Vil |
You'll need to keep track of all the names of everyone attending the party. It wouldn't do well to be rude, would it? | |
Jade |
I've already made a list and memorized them all, so you can signal me over at any time to discreetly remind you should you forget. | |
Vil |
I want to change my make-up look to match my heels. The newest lipstick from Félicité Cosmetics would go splendidly. | |
Jade |
I thought you might say that, so I've already arranged for it. It should be delivered soon. | |
Vil |
I feel thirsty...! | |
Jade |
I've already prepared a cold drink for you.
It's a beauty drink that not only tastes great, but is full of collagen and popular among the other students at our school. | |
Vil |
I'll need a pic- | |
Jade |
Shall I take a picture for you? It's almost time for you to update your Magicame, isn't it.
Leave it to me. I'll take it and caption it with something like "Taking a break with #myfavoritebeautydrink". | |
Vil |
Unfortunately you seem capable of handling anything... You really are something else. | |

| Pomefiore Dorm - Lounge | ||
Jade |
Azul and I were able to work things out. I'll be returning to Octavinelle. | |
Vil |
Ara, is that so. | |
Rook |
Such a sudden turn of events... The same as when you first came. | |
Jade |
Azul persuaded me to come back, clinging to me as he tearfully lamented about how Octavinelle couldn't go on without me... | |
Vil |
Didn't you say something like it only goes to show how weak they are if the entire place would collapse with just one person gone. | |
Jade |
Oya, did I?
⠀ In any case, although it's not without some reluctance, I'll be taking my leave. ⠀ I appreciate all you've done for me. | |
Epel |
There's no way Vil ...san would allow you to go just like... | |
Vil |
Suit yourself. | |
Epel |
Ehh?! You're just gonna let him? | |
Vil |
It’s a tedious process to officially transfer to another dormitory... You’ve also looked into it yourself before, haven’t you Epel? | |
Epel |
......! | |
Vil |
Pretty soon the Headmaster will realize Octavinelle's vice is missing. I'd rather not have any trouble.
⠀ So it's just as well that you decided to return on your own. | |
Jade |
I really appreciate how well you've taken care of me. | |
Vil |
Fu. I'm also glad to have seen firsthand just how you work.
⠀ It seems the rumors about you being a super secretary were true after all... Though it would be great if Rook could learn a thing or two by your example. | |
Rook |
Ah... You're as hard on me as ever, Roi du Poison. | |
Jade |
I also enjoyed my time here with you very much. Excuse me for being on my way. | |
Vil |
...... | |
Rook |
...You seem to be in a wonderful mood today, Vil. | |
Vil |
Ara, can you tell? | |
Rook |
Though your usual beauty, almost chilling to the touch, is lovely I can see you’re absolutely overflowing with joy today. Just like a spring butterfly.
...Are you that thrilled to be a Ténèbres brand ambassador now? | |
Vil |
Of course. It's an honor for any model to be able to work with such a prestigious brand. | |
Epel |
Eh? What's (stumbling over the pronunciation) Ténèbres...? | |
Rook |
It's the shoe brand that makes the renowned Mirror Heels that Jade gifted Vil.
⠀ For a long time Vil wanted a brand ambassad... Or to put it simply, it seems he wanted to become one of their official models. | |
Vil |
The designer saw the picture of me wearing those heels at the party that day. | |
Rook |
Although it seems we never quite figured out what Jade was after. | |
Vil |
Whatever he was after, it's nothing compared to this achievement of mine.
⠀ As long as he doesn't come baring those sharp teeth at us, in consideration of the Mirror Heels let's turn a blind eye to it. | |
Rook |
Oui. | |

| Mostro Lounge | ||
Jade |
I've returned. | |
Floyd  |
Ah. Looks like our runaway is back~ | |
Azul |
Welcome back, Jade. | |
Jade |
It's been a while.
⠀ ...I see Mostro Lounge is quite packed. You two must be busy. | |
Azul |
We are indeed! | |
Floyd |
Everyone's been comin' by to ask us for that new beauty drink everyone's been ravin' about, y'know~ | |
Azul |
Even though our residents came to lend a hand we've been short staffed and it's been difficult. We've been looking forward to having you back.
⠀ We have you to thank, after all. | |
Jade |
I'm afraid I can't take the credit. What's truly impressive is...
How well Vil sold it. | |

Floyd |
We knew we could count on ya.
⠀ Gettin' a big Magicame influencer like Vil-san to show off our drink. ⠀ ...Even though I thought there'd be no way when Azul first brought it up. | |
Azul |
Vil-san is a model famous for his stoic beauty.
⠀ Making it seem like it was something he regularly drinks was more convincing and a much better value than dropping some large sum of money on a commercial! ⠀ AND TO THINK, IT COST US NOTHING AT ALL! | |
Jade |
Vil is quite strict with himself as well as others.
⠀ For that reason, there was a good chance he would keep me close instead of rejecting me for being from another dormitory. ⠀ It was vital that he believe I was someone he could "use". | |
Azul |
I knew I could count on you, Jade. When it comes to weaselling their way into someone's confidence, there's no one better at Night Raven College than you. | |
Jade |
...Is that supposed to be a compliment? | |
Azul |
Why of course. I'm saying it's a feat only you can accomplish. | |
Floyd |
Yeah, that's right. Only you can handle that kind of annoying stuff. | |
Jade |
Fufu. Thank you. | |
Azul |
Was it difficult going along with Vil's selfish demands?
⠀ Even for you, I imagine it must have been quite a struggle? | |
Jade |
....Could it be that you were hoping to see me put out some by placing me in Pomefiore? | |
Azul |
Of course not! Do you take me for the malicious type?
⠀ Remembering what a kind person I am, I worried that you'd be homesick and crying to come back. | |
Jade |
I appreciate your thoughtfulness. However, you needn't have worried.
⠀ Vil-san's requests were nothing but child's play compared to attending to another certain someone's selfish demands. ⠀ I was able to stretch my fins[1] and appreciated the short vacation. | |
Azul |
Ha ha ha! That's a good one! | |
Jade |
Fufufu, I beg to differ! | |
Floyd |
Aha. feels nice now that things are back to normal~ | |
