Cater  |
Hmm, just where is evening primrose~ Mr. Crewel making us find our supplies on our own for the experiment, so troublesome. | |
Malleus  |
All that's left is fireweed. It appears to be grown in the Subtropical Zone, I'll go retrieve it. | |
Cater |
Wait! This time of the day the Subtropical Zone is... | |
Malleus |
...Oh my. | |
Cater |
Aaahhh, I'm too late... | |
Malleus |
What's going on, Diamond? It's spraying water all of the sudden. | |
Cater |
They're sprinklers. It's an artificial system to water all the plants. Just like in the actual subtropics there's a "squall time" set up here. You didn't know? | |
Malleus |
...... | |
Cater |
Your lab uniform is completely soaked. You okay? | |
Malleus |
I can dry off with magic. The problem is... ah! | |
Cater |
Hm? What the matter, you look panicked. Did you have your phone in your pocket? | |
Malleus |
No, it's nothing like that. | |
Cater |
What that, it's not a watch... right? What? ...Is that, by chance... | |
Malleus |
This is something Lilia bought me a while ago as a souvenir. I've become quite attached... To think it would be done in by a bit of water. | |
Cater |
You're right, "that" isn't something you can easily replace if it breaks. I've never seen it in stores. | |
Malleus |
...... | |
Cater |
Can't you fix it up real' quick with magic, Malleus? | |
Malleus |
..."This" is just a normal machine, not something made with magic. I don't know much about machines. I can't fix something I know nothing about. | |
Cater |
You're kidding... Eh, wait. Malleus, are you really upset? Hmmm. I suppose if it's something you really care about this would be a shock, huh. | |
Malleus |
...Diamond, do you know anyone who can repair it? | |
Cater |
Repair? If it's about machines the first person that comes to mind is Idia but... He'd probably run away if you tried to talk to him... Hm... | |
Malleus |
Deuce? | |
Cater |
Yeah, Deuce Spade. He's a first year in Heartslabyul and knows a bunch about all kinds of machines. I just found out recently, too. He fixed the audio system in the lounge that was acting up. | |
Malleus |
I see... This is very pleasing to hear. Which class is Spade in? | |
Cater |
He's in class 1-A, I think. | |
| Bell rings | ||
Cater |
Oh, Malleus, where're you off to? Are you... | |
Malleus |
I'm going to visit Spade. They say to strike while the iron is hot. | |
Cater |
Eh, seriously? But if you show up to the first year classrooms out of the blue... Crap. He's already gone! | |
| ||
| Classroom | ||
| Classmate A | H-hey, Deuce... Sounds like someone wants your attention in the hallway... | |
Deuce  |
Me? Who's looking for me? | |
| Classmate A | It's, ah... Ma... Malleus Draconia! | |
Deuce |
Eeeh!? | |
| Classmate B | T-the Malleus Draconia!? The guy who is said to be one of the top five most powerful wizards in the world? | |
| Classmate C | I heard he's a descendent of the fae and will turn into a fire-breathing dragon if you piss him off... | |
| Classmate D | You've gotta be kidding, what's the dorm head of Diasomnia doing at a first year classroom!? | |
Ace  |
Deuce... You've got a super scary upperclassman looking for you, did you do something stupid again? | |
Deuce |
I can't think of anything! I can only imagine a very... sm-small reason he'd be looking for me. | |
Ace |
So there is something. | |
Deuce |
He's looking for me specifically so if I tried to get out of this... That would be pretty spineless. I'd lose my man-card. I've got to overlook his status as the dorm head for Diasomnia and settle this fair and square. Time to face my fate. | |
Ace |
There it is, Deuce's "badboy switch". You could just leave if you don't know what it's about. | |
Deuce |
Ace, there's no need for you to help. Just... pick up my bones. | |
Ace |
I wasn't going to offer to help begin... He's already gone. Deuce... I'll never forget you. | |
| Classmates | (Nod nod) | |

You came, Spade. Then let's move to a quieter place, follow me. | |
Deuce |

Deuce |
Well then, Draconia. We've come to a place where no one can see us... What do you want? | |
Malleus |
... | |
Deuce |
I don't know what I did to offend you but... I don't plan to run away from you in fear! I will accept your challenge! Let's have our fists do the talking until one of us can no longer stand! | |
Malleus |
Spade. Take a good look at this. | |
Deuce |
If it's a view you want I'll show you a great one! ...Wait? Look at? ...What? | |
Malleus |
That's a strange pose, what're you doing? Put out your hand. | |
Deuce |
Ah, alright... | |
Malleus |
..."This" thing I handed to you is something very precious to me. However, it got drenched and has since stopped working. I'd like to have you repair it. | |
Deuce |
You're saying you weren't looking for a fight but... repairs!? From me!? Why did you pick me? | |
Malleus |
I heard from Diamond that you're good with machines. | |
Deuce |
But, I'm not sure I can repair something complicated like this... | |
Malleus |
I'm hoping to leave this to you. Will you do anything about it? | |
Deuce |
...... Frankly, I won't know until I take a closer look whether or not I can fix it but... But a dorm head has chosen to rely on me. | |
Malleus |
Good answer. You're a big help. | |
Deuce |
That and it's better to gain gratitude rather than displeasure from someone else. | |
Malleus |
Fufu, I don't mind what your reasoning is. ...Well, what do you need to do? | |
Deuce |
You said this got soaked, right? The first thing I'll have to do is dry it out. What does the inside of... "this" look like? | |
Malleus |
You sure are skilled... You had no problem getting the lid off. | |
Deuce |
All I did was use an exacto-knife to take the screw out. It's nothing to praise me over. | |
Malleus |
Really? I'm not familiar with small things like this. Magic comes easily though. | |
Deuce |
Could you use some wind or fire magic then? That'll speed things up. | |
Malleus |
A simple request. | |
Deuce |
Wind and fire magic at the same time!? That's crazy that you can use two kinds just like that... But I don't need it to be a tornado! You're going to blow me away...! | |
Malleus |
This is nothing special though... | |
Deuce |
Weaker! You need to bring it down a notch! A breeze, breeze! | |
Malleus |
A breeze? ...Does this work for you? | |
Deuce |
Yes... Haah, that shocked me. How much would I have to practice to get as good as you at magic? | |
Malleus |
Practice... That's hard to say. I've been around magic my entire life. My homeland of Briar Valley doesn't have many chances to encounter machines. Most things are magic based. | |
Deuce |
That's still impressive that just being around magic since birth lets you use it like that... | |
Malleus |
I wonder about that. My youth was so long ago that I can't clearly recall. Magic is something you get used to. While there is a difference in amount one can use, the more you use it the better you get. That I have no doubt about. | |
Deuce |
Alright. ...I'll do my best. Ah, I think it's about dry. You can stop the magic now. | |
Malleus |
Well, does it look like something you can fix? | |
Deuce |
There doesn't appear to be any major problems. I'll close the cover and see how it responds. Here you go. ...How is it? | |
Malleus |
It worked! | |
Deuce |
That's great! I'm glad it's fixed! | |
Malleus |
You did well, Spade. You were a great help. | |
Deuce |
Not at all, there wasn't anything major wrong to begin with so the fix was super simple... | |
Malleus |
No need to be humble. I know, accept this as your reward. | |
Deuce |
A reward... Eh, is this by chance the rare ore that can only be found in the Land of Thrones...!? | |
Malleus |
Not enough? Then here's more... | |
Deuce |
No! It's almost too much... | |
| ||
Malleus |
You fixed something precious to me so it is only natural that I give thanks. Aah, I have to feed it right away. | |
Deuce |
S-sure. You're welcome. ...He vanished! He really is an unusual guy. | |
