Fufu, "The presenter chosen by the Magical Birthday Dice will be the one who comes bearing your good fortune."
What an exciting premise indeed! Now then, I wonder who was chosen to be my presenter? | |
???  |
Sorry 'bout that! Did I make you wait long? | |
Rook |
Oya, that voice belongs to none other than...
Kalim-kun! | |
Kalim |
Yea! Happy birthday, Rook! I'm really looking forward to today. | |
Rook |
With that brilliant, radiant smile and your kind birthday wishes... I've already been given a wonderful present. | |
Kalim |
About that... I couldn't come up with the present I really wanted to give you. | |
Rook |
Is that so? | |
Kalim |
You probably would've enjoyed something like your own museum of famous artwork or a private theater show, yeah?
But arranging all of it was gonna take some time and then they told me there was no way to do it under the set budget... | |
Rook |
Aah, Kalim-kun!
That you would think of such a special present for me... It's the thought that counts. | |
Kalim |
I didn't come empty handed, tho! It may not be what I'd originally planned, but I got you something else.
So here, go on and take it! | |
Rook |
Merci! In that case, I'll open it right away.
Beauté! How beautiful indeed! This flight feather is quite impressive... It must have come from a considerably large bird. Not only does it have a nice, sleek sheen to it, but its color changes depending on the angle... Which makes it a fascinating present that can be enjoyed in a myriad of ways. Ah, how wonderful! Très bien! | |
Kalim |
I'm glad you like it! You're always wearing a hat, you know?
Even now you've got a cap on. Figured you might like something that could go with all of 'em, so I asked some of the other merchants to show me a bunch of accessories they thought would match. They had some jeweled brooches and gold ones but... That feather looked like it'd probably fit you best. So I got 'em to make a plume out of it. If it ever needs to be replaced, just let me know! I'll be sure to get ya a new one right away. | |
Rook |
That's terribly considerate of you, Roi d'Or. I appreciate that, but not to worry.
But when it comes to naturally sourced materials, no two are alike. Like a piece of haute couture this plume is one of a kind, don't you think? Besides... It holds a special meaning because it's something you've given me today. So you see, there's no need to ever replace it. Ah, there are all these words welling up inside of me. I could compose any number of poems from how happy I feel right now. | |
Kalim |
Turning your happiness into poetry, you say...? That sounds like a great idea!
... Ah. Hey, Rook. Could you teach me how to write a poem? I wanna put my heartfelt congratulations into words and make one for ya. | |
Rook |
Oya oya, and just how do you plan on making me happier than I already am? | |
Kalim |
I mean you're my friend and it's your birthday, yeah? So lemme go all out to celebrate it! | |
Rook |
Fufu, thanks to you, today is sure to be quite a memorable one. In that case, let's write some poetry together. | |

Kalim |
Next up is the interview! | |
Rook |
Oui! Ask me anything you'd like. | |
Kalim |
"If you had to pick someone to be on a deserted island with, who would you choose?" Oh... but it says it can't be someone from your own dorm. | |
Rook |
Fumu, a deserted island. The untouched wilderness... the sea stretching as far as the eye can see... how wonderful! Just thinking about it gives me a sudden thrill!
Although one might say it would be quite an unforgiving environment for those of us who belong to Pomefiore. I suppose it might require choosing someone from another dormitory indeed. The partner I would choose for this kind of harsh survival would be... Silver-kun! | |
Kalim |
Oh, Silver! That makes sense! Not only is he a great guy, but he trains pretty often, too! | |
Rook |
Ah. I'd need someone with strong muscles and in excellent physical shape to procure food and guarantee our escape.
We might be attacked by wild animals. However, I don't suppose he'd have any difficulty handling them. And above all else... | |
Kalim |
Above all else...? | |
Rook |
He can sleep anywhere!! | |
Kalim |
EH?!! | |
Rook |
A deserted island wouldn't have any soft beds for us to sleep on. Even if we were to obtain some materials and make them ourselves, the environment would be a far cry from a comfortable one to sleep in.
And under the circumstances— seeing as anything might happen— nervousness and fear could make falling asleep difficult. Even in daily life, sleep is important for maintaining good health, isn't it? And all the more important when you're somewhere unfamiliar. When it comes to surviving on a deserted island, being able to sleep no matter the place or time is a formidable weapon. Being able to sleep anywhere is a wonderful skill indeed! | |
Kalim |
Gotcha! When it comes to sleeping, surely there's no one who's got him beat, eh?
Sometimes I'll be talking to him in class or in the hall and I'll think he's stopped replying, but then it turns out he's asleep... It happens all the time. Like just the other day he nodded off during our potions exam! He was sitting up straight, still holding the flask in his hand. Ahahah! | |
Rook |
Not everyone can maintain a beautiful posture as they sleep. Beauté! I'd expect nothing less from Silver-kun. | |
Kalim |
Anyway, can't say it ever crossed my mind before— whether or not I'd be able to sleep on a deserted island.
But you're right, I've heard people have trouble sleeping somewhere they're not used to. Has that ever happened to you? | |
Rook |
Fufu, Roi d'Or. I'll leave that up to your imagination. | |

Kalim |
Okay, so here's the next question!
"If you were to transfer into another dormitory besides Pomefiore, which one would you choose?" | |
Rook |
Hmm, let's see... Each dormitory has its own individual charm. That's a difficult one to answer.
First, the dorm you're head of, Scarabia. Its traditional Scalding Sands architecture is quite beautiful indeed. And I'd love to join one of your elaborate banquets. | |
Kalim |
I'm glad to hear you say you're interested in our dorm! You'll have to come over for one someday. | |
Rook |
Merci! I'm already looking forward to the invitation!
As for the others... I'm deeply intrigued by the mysterious atmosphere of Ignihyde and Diasomnia. Many of the students there prefer not to associate with the other dorms. If I were to transfer into either one, I'd love to explore the inside of it from top to bottom. Both the Mostro Lounge at Octavinelle and Savanaclaw would be the perfect place for observing others. Just taking in the breaths and footprints of everyone coming and going, an entire day there would pass in the blink of an eye. | |
Kalim |
I dunno much about that... But you're saying each dorm looks pretty fun, right? I totally get what you mean! | |
Rook |
I'm glad you feel the same way. However, in theory I can only choose one to answer your question so...
I've decided, then. I'll go with Heatslabyul. | |
Kalim |
Heartslabyul, huh! Their tea parties look like they'd be a lot of fun! | |
Rook |
You're right. For one, you could enjoy all the delicious tea and sweets at the unbirthday parties they have there.
No doubt tea time would be absolute bliss surrounded by all those beautiful, ruby-like roses. An inherent beauty accomplished through abiding by the Queen of Hearts' rules... How very beauté indeed. To that effect, I feel like Heartslabyul and Pomefiore both have something in common. I suppose it's because both inherited the spirit of each of the Queens of the Great Seven that left their mark on history. Those that wear the Queen's crown are noble yet severe. I can't help but be drawn to their overwhelming prescence! | |
Kalim |
Come to think of it, Riddle and Vil are both kinda similar~. I guess it's how spirited they both are! | |
Rook |
Ah. I feel invigorated as I watch Vil, ever persistent to aim higher and higher.
Even if we were separated, I feel like the things I've learned during our time together would continue to stay with me. Apart from before... As I am now, I'm confident I could adapt to the atmosphere at Heartslabyul. | |
Kalim |
Right! I have no doubt you'd do just fine!
But when it comes to the Queen of Hearts' rules, there are so many of 'em, yeah? I feel like trying to remember them all would be pretty tough. | |
Rook |
Many of them are quite unique. The pressure of trying not to break any seems like it would make every day interesting. | |
Kalim |
Well, that's all for the interview! You know what comes next... right? | |
Rook |
Oui! It's time to receive my "gift of good fortune". Seeing as this special occasion only comes once a year, I can hardly contain my excitement!
I'm ready whenever you are! | |
Kalim |
Alright! I'm gonna hit you with my best shot!!
Happy birthday, Rook!! | |
