Briar Valley’s Own

Mirror Chamber
Crowley Crowley	Now, the Dorm Leader meeting will come to order. Today’s agenda begins with…
Lilia Lilia	Apologies! I’m terribly late!
Crowley Crowley	AAAH!!!! V-Vanrouge-kun… When did you slip into the Mirror Chamber? Don’t startle me so!
Lilia Lilia	Ah, thousand pardons. It’s only, Malleus has disappeared. While Silver and Sebek are currently out searching for him, for the time being, I will attend the meeting in his stead as the Vice Dorm Leader.
Crowley Crowley	Eh? …AH! NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT… DRACONIA-KUN ISN’T HERE!!
Lilia Lilia	…Did you all forget? About poor Malleus?
Kalim Kalim	S-Sorry… I totally thought someone else would let him know.
Leona Leona	Hah. I ain’t his babysitter, and why should we have to go so far as to say, “Oh, Malleus-kun, let’s go to the meeting together.”
Vil Vil	You know, I’ve been thinking ever since I became a Dorm Leader this year… Malleus isn’t ever at these meetings, is he?
Idia Idia	Yeah! I want to know about that too. Even I’m forcing myself here remotely, even though I def don’t wanna be here. IT’S NOT FAIR THAT MALLEUS-SHI GETS TO SKIP ALL THE TIME! OBJECTION!
Azul Azul	Indeed, these slights against us does not foster a good feeling. He is continuously absent. On occasions where he actually does attend, he is constantly tardy. I can only assume that he thinks very little of this meeting.
Lilia Lilia	Malleus has no such intention. I know he must be hoping to participate in these meetings with you all.
Vil Vil	All this lip service means nothing so long as no results follow. Leona, Riddle. You must have indulged him a considerable amount last year to allow Malleus’s despotic behavior to continue like this.
Leona Leona	Us, indulge him? …You can say that because you don’t know how much I had to deal with last year.
Riddle Riddle	Leona-senpai just dictated, but I was the one who really had to handle everything. In the beginning, the Dorm Leaders last year attempted to enact many a plan in order to have Malleus-senpai attend the meeting. We would send him several reminders via email, send physical letters, and even went directly to his dormitory…
Idia Idia	Aaand how’d that go?
Leona Leona	A total failure. That bastard doesn’t check his email, and that bat over there kept losing the letters. When we went to the dorm, those zealous draconians’d be on alert and wouldn’t let anyone in. It’s the biggest pain I’ve ever had to deal with. Why does everyone else have to run around for him, instead of him workin’ on it?
Riddle Riddle	Like I said earlier, the one running around was me… Ahem. Anyway, we did all we could. Everything else is up to Malleus-senpai.
Azul Azul	So, essentially…The two of you gave up on Malleus-san.
Vil Vil	Even Leona the slacker gets dragged here by Ruggie, and Idia the shut-in participates by way of his technology. Do you truly believe it is appropriate that Malleus is constantly absent for these meetings in which we discuss important decisions for the school? Perhaps it was acceptable up until now. However, I do not approve of his negligence.
Crowley Crowley	Hmm. It rather feels as though it will be difficult to continue this meeting amidst this uncomfortable climate… Vanrouge-kun, could we have you contact Draconia-kun and have him come here right away?
Lilia Lilia	I would love nothing more, but…
[beep!]
Smartphone Voice Assistant Smartphone Voice Assistant	The number you have dialed is either in a non-service area, or is not turned on, and therefore your call cannot be connected.
[beep!]
Lilia Lilia	…No matter how many times I call, I still cannot get through. It was working last night, though. It’s most likely that he broke his phone today.
Crowley Crowley	Well, it can’t be helped. I suppose we should all go out and search for him.
Leona Leona	Hah? Why should we? He ain’t a lost kid. Don’t baby him.
Lilia Lilia	Sob, sob… What unfriendly folk…
Kalim Kalim	Hrrrm, if there was something I could do, I’d like to help out…
Azul Azul	Kalim-san, this is not an issue that can be solved by simply “helping out.” Do we intend on starting every meeting with a search for Malleus-san? He must learn to better himself.
Lilia Lilia	Tch. Crocodile tears didn’t work, huh…
Vil Vil	There is no way that such a terrible performance would successfully deceive us. It seems both the Dorm Leader and Vice Dorm Leader both are just fooling around.
Leona Leona	Kukuku. Maybe that guy’s the least suited to be a Dorm Leader outta all of us, ey?
Idia Idia	Is that kinda boss really gonna be ok? Makes me sooo worried for the future of Briar Valley.
Lilia Lilia	Hmph… What a thing to say towards the heir of the Draconia family. …Malleus’s reputation will be tarnished at this rate. I understand. Malleus will attend the next meeting, I swear it.

Diasomnia Dorm – Lounge
Lilia Lilia	…Which is why it is an issue that you weren’t at the Dorm Leader meeting.
Malleus Malleus	I hadn’t realized such a thing was happening while I was absent. I’ve caused you such an inconvenience, Lilia.
Lilia Lilia	I’m not really inconvenienced. However, the others were saying things that could affect your reputation. So I promised you’d come “next time,” without thinking.
Malleus Malleus	I see… I myself have been wanting to attend these meetings. For this meeting in particular, the notice was sent out quite a while ago, so it was not as if I had forgotten it. However, that notification came as a mechanical message. That strange board would not allow me to view it.
Lilia Lilia	Mechanical message… Strange board… Ah, you mean your email and smartphone?
Malleus Malleus	That’s right. I could not read it, so I did not know the time and place of the meeting. I attempted to estimate the time and place, and so I ended up waiting in the Lecture Hall… No one came after two hours of sitting alone, so I headed towards the library and waited for an hour, before finally making my way to the Headmaster’s Office.
Lilia Lilia	Malleus… Most humans won’t just sit and wait in one place for one or two hours like that.
Malleus Malleus	Is that so? Humans sure are restless… It also isn’t ideal that they move the location of the meeting as often as they do. It would be best if it were always in the Mirror Chamber.
Lilia Lilia	The Mirror Chamber is often used by those visiting the school. It would not be unusual for the meeting location to be changed on short notice. However, if you did not know the location, you ought to have asked. There must have been someone who would have known.
Malleus Malleus	Well, of course I attempted to ask. However, they would immediately scream and scamper off. I had even tried smiling as I called out to them, as you taught me…
Lilia Lilia	I wonder what could have possibly gone wrong there? I feel you have a very cute smile, especially when you can catch a glimpse of your pointed fangs… Hm. Then, I suppose we should make sure that you carry your smartphone with you as a means of communication.
Malleus Malleus	The smartphone, hm. If we’re talking of that thing, it has not made a peep since this morning.
Lilia Lilia	I thought so. But we had it repaired just the other day! What could have caused it to stop working?
Malleus Malleus	I do not know. I did not do anything, and yet it broke.
Lilia Lilia	Malleus… When someone says, “I didn’t do anything, but the device broke,” that usually means they did something.
Malleus Malleus	You say that, but I cannot fathom what may have happened. I believe the last thing I did was… I cast a cleaning spell on it because it had become rather dirty.
Lilia Lilia	WELL, THAT’S WHY!! Most devices are weak to water. Hypothetically, even if it were waterproof, it would definitely not be able to withstand the might of your magic.
Malleus Malleus	That may be so. There was indeed a crack in the screen.
Lilia Lilia	So something had happened to it! And you thought to say you didn’t know anything about it being broken.
Malleus Malleus	Your phone also has a cracked screen. I thought it a normal occurrence.
Lilia Lilia	That’s just because I’m a bit rough with it!
Malleus Malleus	I cannot imagine that is anything to be boastful about… But alright, I understand. I will refrain from cleaning it from now on. Nevertheless, these devices certainly are inconvenient. It recently returned from servicing, and yet it seems I shall have to completely replace it now.
Lilia Lilia	Come to think of it, how did it break last time?
Malleus Malleus	I went flying through the sky with the smartphone in my pocket. In the process of moving back and forth from a high altitude to the ground several times, I eventually found the inside of my screen had become wet. According to the repair shop’s findings, the rapid temperature change caused condensation, which in turn caused it to break.
Lilia Lilia	How high were you flying for the temperature to drop so low as to cause condensation?
Malleus Malleus	Prior to that, I was told it short-circuited when I touched it while I was still imbued with lightning… And even before that, it melted when it was exposed to the high temperatures of my fire breath.
Lilia Lilia	Hmm. Then, why not leave your phone behind when doing those things? You do that with the little drago-kun I gave you a while back.
Malleus Malleus	What do you mean? There is no purpose to a smartphone if it is not carried with you at all times.
Lilia Lilia	I know that, but…
Malleus Malleus	It’s susceptible to water, low temperature, lightning, and fire. These phones are quite frail. Do humans truly value such a useless object? It is past simply being intolerable… I am starting to find it a nuisance.
Lilia Lilia	Wait, wait, it’s still too early for you to give up. You’ve come all this way upon leaving Briar Valley, so you must familiarize yourself to human customs. I’ll teach you how to use the device again once more from the beginning to make it easier from now on. Here, you can borrow my phone, try to hold it properly. Don’t summon any lighting, now.
Malleus Malleus	I understand… Hm? Some text has appeared on your screen. It says, “New Message.”
Lilia Lilia	Ah, a notif. Someone must’ve uploaded a new post onto Magicam. Looks like it’s from Kalim. Let me see… “PARTY TIME WITH ALL THE DORM LEADERS!”
Malleus Malleus	…Is this a photo from the meeting earlier? Everyone looks terribly happy in this picture.
Lilia Lilia	Kalim must’ve taken it after the meeting. There’s a few frowns, but it’s quite a wonderful picture of all the Dorm Leaders together!
Malleus Malleus	…
Lilia Lilia	Well… I mean… All the Dorm Leaders except for you, who didn’t attend…
Malleus Malleus	…
[CRACKLE, CRACKLE, CRUSH!]
Malleus Malleus	Oh. I accidentally destroyed it.
Lilia Lilia	MY PHONEEEEE! How could you, my screen is shattered… Oh, no, it was always like that. What do you think you’re doing, Malleus!?
Malleus Malleus	Apologies. Seeing those people enjoy themselves while excluding me… I just couldn’t control my ire in that moment.
Lilia Lilia	If you just destroy the phone whenever you get mad, there’s no meaning in me trying to teach you how to use it!
Malleus Malleus	Calm down, Lilia. Don’t get angry.
Lilia Lilia	You don’t get to say that, as the person who broke my phone in anger! Sigh… Malleus. Are you truly wanting to participate in the Dorm Leader meetings, or their little get-togethers?
Malleus Malleus	…Are you now doubting my true feelings about this? You, of all people? Humans are quick to fear creatures of the night. They are often unable to talk to us out of fright. The ones who taught me that was you, Lilia, and Grandmother. And it is the truth. It is not my fault that I am unable to show my face at those gatherings. It is because those humans have decided to fear me.
Lilia Lilia	No, in your case, that is not the only issue at hand. You fail to understand what is going on around you! Faes and humans are different both in their sense of time, and in the tools they utilize. I fully understand how you may have troubles when you first come in contact with them. However… It has been 3 years since you left Briar Valley, you know? And you haven’t changed at all in that time! It isn’t anyone else’s fault. You have to first look inwards. Have you actually put forth the effort to attend these meetings?
Malleus Malleus	Put forth the effort…?
Lilia Lilia	We’ve said that, because of your position, it is an unavoidable fact that you cannot join gatherings of people. However, there is still a limit to how shielded you can be. As the heir to Briar Valley, and as the leader of Diasomnia, You need to carefully reflect on how you should conduct yourself.
Malleus Malleus	…He got angry and left. It has been quite a long time since Lilia has scolded me like this. It seems it was not smart to crush his phone. … Indeed… It is possible that somewhere in the back of my mind, I may have thought that faes and humans are incapable of comprehending each other. Perhaps that may be the reason why I refrained from making an effort to meet them halfway. But if a change in my conduct can change this atmosphere… What can I possibly do in order to become closer with the other Dorm Leaders…? I shall have to think on it.

Interior Hallway
Vil Vil	So, just like last week, our meeting is in the Mirror Chamber this week.
Kalim Kalim	The party we had after the last meeting was so much fun! Next time, the rest of you should come too, not just Riddle and Azul.
Leona Leona	I refuse.
Riddle Riddle	That reminds me… It seems that Malleus-senpai received a warning from the Headmaster after being absent last time. I wonder if he will properly attend this meeting?
Leona Leona	It’ll just be the same as before. He’ll just skip anyway.
Kalim Kalim	Eh! Then should I go and get him!?
Leona Leona	Don’t bother. There’s no point if you don’t think to do that on your own.
Vil Vil	Says the person who was sleeping right up until the start of the meeting and had to be woken up by someone else.
Idia Idia	Yeah, yeah! Even tho there’s no point if you don’t participate on your own!
Azul Azul	Says the tablet…
Riddle Riddle	I have my own thoughts for Idia-senpai, but… I do agree that if you do not strive to participate of your own volition, then it is rather meaningless.
Azul Azul	Very true. I do hope that Malleus-san is reflecting on his actions.
Vil Vil	I wonder… Well, for the time being, let us wait for the meeting to begin inside the Mirror Chamber.
[door opens]
Dorm Leaders Dorm Leaders	!!??
Diasomnia Dorm – Lounge
Leona Leona	Hey… This musty atmosphere… It can’t be…
Dorm Leaders Dorm Leaders	DIASOMNIA!?
Idia Idia	Eh!? The picture on my screen is kinda weird. Is this a virtual background!?
Vil Vil	Not at all. We are definitely, actually in Diasomnia…
Riddle Riddle	When did we get here? We were just in front of the Mirror Chamber a moment ago!
Crowley Crowley	WHY IN THE WORLD IS THE DOOR TO THE MIRROR CHAMBER CONNECTED TO DIASOMNIA!?
Kalim Kalim	Oh hey, looks like the Headmaster got bought over with us too.
Vil Vil	He’s just as surprised as we are, which must mean that it’s not necessarily his doing.
Riddle Riddle	So then, the only possible remaining explanation would be…
??? ???	Hello, everyone…
Malleus Malleus	Welcome. I’ve been waiting.
Crowley Crowley	Draconia-kun… What a spectacular entrance! It almost puts me to shame as the Headmaster here.
Leona Leona	I knew this was your doing, you damn lizard.
Vil Vil	Please explain what is going on. Why are we currently in the Diasomnia Dormitory Lounge?
Malleus Malleus	I had heard that you were all dissatisfied with my being unable to attend the dorm leader meetings. I myself believe that it would be unfortunate to not be able to come to any gathering there may be. And so, I thought about what could be done… And it came to me. If I will not be invited, then I should be the one to do the inviting. If I do not know where the meeting is taking place, then I should decide where it meets. If I do not know what time it takes place, then I should make it so that I will be available. That is why I used transference magic to connect the Mirror Chamber door to Diasomnia and bring you all here. What do you think? I was neither late nor absent, yes?
Dorm Leaders Dorm Leaders	…
Leona Leona	So… What? You’re saying that for the sake of attending the meeting, you cast transference magic on all of us?
Malleus Malleus	That’s right.
Riddle Riddle	Without our consent? On your own, for your own benefit?
Malleus Malleus	That’s right.
Dorm Leaders Dorm Leaders	HAAAAAAAAAH!?
Azul Azul	I never expected to be treated with such disrespect in my life. This is an outrageous insult!!
Vil Vil	Do you think of us as mere objects!?
Idia Idia	We’re not familiars you can just summon, yknow!!
Malleus Malleus	Are you… Are you all angry with me?
Dorm Leaders Dorm Leaders	OF COURSE WE’RE ANGRY WITH YOU!!!!
Malleus Malleus	Why? You all usually summon your magical pens with magic. What is the difference?
Riddle Riddle	IT’S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! PENS ARE OBJECTS, WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!!
Malleus Malleus	I know that. But both can be carried by magic.
Idia Idia	Oh snap. He doesn’t get it at all. Is this one of those things that only sounds scary once you understand it?
Vil Vil	It seems as though he definitely doesn’t think of us as any different from a pen or a book.
Leona Leona	Tch. This’s why I can’t stand people with no common sense…! How dare you transport me like luggage!
Sebek Sebek	STAND BACK!! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO GRAB MALLEUS-SAMA… IT’S UTTERLY DISGRACEFUL, HUMAN!!
Azul Azul	Ah, you must be… That first year Sebek-san, yes? How astounding that you can even look at this situation and use the term “disgraceful” like that.
Silver Silver	Welcome, friends of Malleus-sama. We’re glad to have you here.
Kalim Kalim	Oh hey, it’s Silver. Good to see you here.
Silver Silver	Yes. I had heard that Malleus-sama intended on inviting the Dorm Leaders here, so we waited with him.
Kalim Kalim	Oh, cool. Thanks for waiting, and thanks for having us!
Silver Silver	Right. Enjoy your time here.
Malleus Malleus	I had the two of them prepare Briar Valley’s own tea cakes. Now, everyone. Please do not hesitate to dig in…
Dorm Leaders Dorm Leaders	AS IF WE’D EAT ANYTHING!!!
Crowley Crowley	Draconia-kun… Please come with me to the Headmaster’s Office now. I HAD THOUGHT YOU A KNOWLEDGEABLE FELLOW, BUT… IT SEEMS THERE IS STILL MUCH MORE TO TEACH YOU!
Malleus Malleus	…And so I thought I had finally successfully attended the meeting… But in the end, today’s dorm leader meeting ended up cancelled.
Lilia Lilia	… …Heheh. AHAHAHA!!! HEEHEEHEEHEE!!! I can’t believe something like that happened while I went out to pick up my phone… My laughter won’t stop!
Malleus Malleus	What did I do wrong? I would not have been upset were transference magic used on me. If anything, it is a rather mundane mode of transportation. In order to become closer to those people, I thought I would provide my hospitality, and yet…
Lilia Lilia	Malleus. Humans have a different level of sensitivity than us. Think of it like… Pulling in the remote control closer to you with your foot. That is something that Silver would always scold me on. A remote doesn’t have any will, so it may not complain, but those Dorm Leaders do.
Malleus Malleus	I did not intend to be impudent. But then I was told, “If we are to be insulted like this, there is no need for you to attend the meetings henceforth.” So now, it is not as though it would be acceptable to join them without a prior invitation… Grandmother had always sternly instilled in me that it is rude to invite oneself unilaterally.
Lilia Lilia	That’s true. Her Majesty the Queen has always been extraordinarily unbending when it comes to invitation decorum. However, for you to have enacted such a plan… I’m rather surprised you put this much thought into it. Did… Did my little scolding strike a nerve?
Malleus Malleus	Let me answer your question with another, did you truly think that I wouldn’t be affected after seeing you so angry?
Lilia Lilia	Kufufu… I see, I see. What a cute lad! I didn’t think you’d get that upset.
Malleus Malleus	Stop, don’t treat me like a child.
Lilia Lilia	I’m praising you. Maybe it didn’t go as planned, but it was a huge step forward for you to try to find a way to work with the others.
[headpats]
Malleus Malleus	Only Grandmother and Lilia would pat my head so vigorously like this… I simply cannot refuse it.
Malleus Malleus	After you left in anger, I thought about what I should have done. I agreed that I had not put forth enough effort in both understanding the humans, and having them understand me. And that is why I attempted to fix things, but failed. I still do not understand what went wrong. I thought humans appreciated convenience like their technology, but they also reject other rational means. They are indecisive in their standards, and they are strangely sensitive. It’s quite difficult to comprehend.
Lilia Lilia	You seem to have made quite a mess for yourself. Are you regretting leaving Briar Valley?
Malleus Malleus	…Fufu. Don’t make me laugh. You should know better than anyone that I do not think. There was never a time back in Briar Valley like this where I was so bewildered by other people. And that is why… This is more than amusing to me. I feel as those these moments are utterly enjoyable. I believe that there will come a day in which I will be able to understand them, so I will continue to do my due diligence. Let’s see… I am certain we will be able to understand each other in another 100 years or so.
