Lilia  |
It is almost time for the interview… I wonder when the presenter will show up～
I’ve had many an opportunity to receive gifts in the past, but I still get excited just before getting them. | |
| ??? | Hello, Lilia Vanrouge-san. | |
Ortho  |
Happy Birthday! I will be your presenter today. I look forward to it! | |
Lilia |
Oh, so you were chosen to be my presenter, Ortho! Yes, I can’t wait either.
I suppose if one lives long enough, celebrating with an android was bound to happen. It’s something I would never have been able to imagine happening a long time ago. | |
Ortho |
Speaking of not being able to imagine… I wonder why I was chosen to come here?
The “Magical Birthday Dice” is supposed to choose the presenter from the student body. | |
Lilia |
Kufufu, it is not too curious an encounter.
In all actuality, I’ve completely forgotten when my birthday is. Upon admission to this school, I wrote January 1st as my birthday on the required documents, but I do not remember my real birthday. | |
Ortho |
Eh, really? | |
Lilia |
Really. Perhaps fate brought us together because of the uncertainties present. | |
Ortho |
Fate, you say… Eheh, there’s no evidence of that, but I do like the way you think, Lilia-san!
So then, let’s start over… Here you go. Your present! | |
Lilia |
I’ve been waiting for this moment! Ooh, this is a pretty large box… I’ll open it right away.
Oh, this… this hardware is one of the original at-home video game consoles. It has been quite some time since I have seen a cartridge-type game. Back then, it used to be so common, though Is this a game you highly recommend? | |
Ortho |
Yes. I heard from Silver-san about the online game that you play all throughout the night.
From there, I analyzed your play style. And when I compared that with the games that have been released over the last 40 years… I gathered from the results that this game that was released 35 years ago would suit you the best! | |
Lilia |
Wow, you really thought hard for me. I thank you, Ortho!
It is so nostalgic to think back to the time that this game console was sweeping the entire world. I had learned that everyone in this one country I had traveled to were so obsessed with it, so I had decided to buy one as a souvenir and bring it home, but… I had completely forgotten that there is no electricity in Briar Valley. In the end, I gave it away without even playing with it once… I never expected that it would appear before me again like this… I am beyond ecstatic. | |
Ortho |
When this game console was popular, I’m sure Lilia-san couldn’t possibly have been alive yet, but…
You speak as if you knew of it as it was released. Oh, is it that you know someone who is really into retro games? | |
Lilia |
Kufufu, let’s say that’s the case, then. Well, since it’s my special day, would it be alright if we played a bit now? | |
Ortho |
Yes, please do! | |
Lilia |
Alright, then I’ll insert the game. Turn on the power…and―
Ooh! So it’s a pixel graphics side-scroller action game! The high-quality graphic games that are more popular nowadays are quite good, but… These kinds of pixel graphic games allow you to use your imagination to add detail to it, and that in and of itself is also fun. | |
Ortho |
Wow, you’re really good at moving your character, Lilia-san!
Someone playing this kind of game for the first time wouldn’t be so good at dodging the hits and stomping the enemies like you’re doing. | |
Lilia |
Being able to dodge, find an opening, and attack an enemy coming at me head on is somewhat of a specialty of mine.
Not being able to move backwards once the battle has begun is the same on the battlefield as it is in this game. I am only using the experience that I’ve developed so far. | |
Ortho |
That’s amazing. You must have learned so many different types of action patterns from playing so many different games.
You sound so cool, speaking like a combat veteran! | |
Lilia |
Kufufu, don’t you think? You can praise me a bit more if you’d like. | |

Ortho |
Now that I’ve handed over the present, I’ll go ahead and start the interview. The question for you is…
“If you could pick any student from Night Raven College to be your sibling, who would you choose?” However, you cannot choose someone from your own dorm… is what it says. | |
Lilia |
A sibling, hm… Every student in this school are all so adorable to me. This is difficult.
I wouldn’t mind taking care of everyone all together, but I wouldn’t be able to choose just one. Well, those like Trey and Vil would be boring, since they seem like they wouldn’t be much trouble. | |
Ortho |
Boring? Isn’t it good that they wouldn’t be troublesome? | |
Lilia |
Hm. They are two of this school’s most exemplary students. It would be rare for either of them to do anything too senseless.
It is more interesting to see actions that go against expectations than to be able to read their next steps… Don’t you think so? | |
Ortho |
I understand your feelings, Lilia-san.
Since I can predict most things with simulations and data analysis… I’m super happy when something unexpected happens. | |
Lilia |
Oh, so you feel the same too. The two of us are have that in common!
Kufufu… During the time I was watching over this baby, it was a series of unexpected events. Just when I thought that he had been sleeping so peacefully for a while, suddenly he would start crying in such a loud voice, or… And before I realized it, he would just have the loveliest smile on his face… I absolutely could not read his action at all. There were many struggles, but I think that the most enjoyable days were when I was absolutely wrapped around the little finger of that happy-go-lucky baby. Hm… If I think of it this way, then perhaps it would not be too bad to have Floyd as a younger brother. | |
Ortho |
That’s Floyd Leech-san from Octavinelle! | |
Lilia |
Yes. He often has such a mischievous look on his face and seems to always have such enjoyable conversations with Jade.
And usually afterwards, something fascinating would end up happening. It could be fun to join in on Floyd’s schemes, but… If it were something that I’d try to stop instead, perhaps he would do something else that would exceed my expectations. | |
Ortho |
I see. But if that is your reason, then wouldn’t Jade Leech-san be a fine younger brother as well? | |
Lilia |
Jade tends to prefers to be fastidious with his words.
On the other hand, in addition to liking strong people, Floyd would also try to challenge those he has recognized the abilities of, yes? I like that straight-forward nature of his. If I were to choose him, I bet there’d be plenty of communication where we’d “let our fists to the talking.” | |

Ortho |
I’ll move on to the next question.
“If you were to join any dorm other than Diasomnia, which dorm would you choose?” | |
Lilia |
Each dormitory has their own distinctive characteristics that they are all interesting.
If I could, I would love to try living in each of the dorms, similar to how I would travel the world, but… One dorm that really grabs me is the one that settles everything with strength, where the powerful stands on top, Savanaclaw! | |
Ortho |
You did just say in the last question that you like Floyd-san’s straight-forward nature to immediately challenge others…
Does that mean you think the same of those in Savanaclaw? | |
Lilia |
Indeed. I do like the way they communicate with each other.
The Savanaclaw students sometimes attempt to come to an understanding with each other by using strength instead of words. At first glance, it might seem violent, but… by fighting one another, they can further their understanding of their opponent. | |
Ortho |
Fighting as a way to further understanding… I suppose it’s true that it would be one known method to strengthen the bonds of friendship between rivals. | |
Lilia |
Kufufu! That’s exactly right.
Before, back when I would travel around the world, I had often been accosted by ruffians. I fought back every time someone picked a fight with me, but… after exchanging blows, once in a while there were some interesting results. I could build friendships and share a meal even with those who were initially hostile, after grasping their other’s abilities in a fight. I like simple communication that comes from a straight-forward acknowledgement of abilities such as that. | |
Ortho |
I see. Then I suppose Savanaclaw may be the best fit, since you have that kind of experience of exchanging blows and building friendships, Lilia-san. | |
Lilia |
Yes. Well, it’s not like I’m uninterested in a dorm that would emphasize beauty like Pomefiore, but…
They could say it’s bad for my skin and forbid me from playing my online games until midnight day after day. | |
Ortho |
If you’re worried about that, then I would recommend Ignihyde! My brother is always playing games throughout the night. | |
Lilia |
Ooh, really! Then Ignihyde is also a possibility.
Even if I invite Silver, he would always fall asleep while playing. I’m always happy for new game friends. | |
Ortho |
Everything you said was so interesting, Lilia-san. Thank you for participating in the interview!
Then it’s finally time… Allow me to carry out the final job of the presenter. | |
Lilia |
It must be that long-awaited “Gift of Good Fortune”!
Kufufu, I can’t wait! I’ll take it on full force, so throw it at me without any hesitation. | |
Ortho |
Got it! Then, here I go…
Lilia Vanrouge-san, Happy Birthday! | |
