Ah, how time flies when you’re having fun. This is the last question.
“How do you spend your days off?”
|
Ruggie

My day off, hm… I mean, I don’t really have many restful days, so, I dunno.
|

Oh, is that so?

Ruggie

Most days I got Magical Shift practice or matches, so…
ANY TIME I DON’T GOT THAT, I WANNA CRAM AS MANY SMALL JOBS IN MY DAY AS I CAN!!!
I’m pretty busy with my classes, so I can’t do any long-term jobs, so for now, I’m basically doing one-off jobs down at the town at the foothills.

Wow, you do stay busy. But, I’m sure there are times that you are unable to find a job that suits your tastes, no?
|
Ruggie
|
Whenever that happens, I usually do odd-jobs for my dormmates, classmates, or clubmates.
They don’t really pay good, but… Sometimes they’ll treat me to a meal, or give me random stuff I find when I’m cleaning up.
And when I sell those things, I can make a good chunk of change. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

Très bien! Not only do you have an abundance of work experience, but you also care for the environment. I’m impressed!

Ruggie

Uhhh, I don’t think it’s anything that great, but… Uh, whatever.
Ah. But the other day, I didn’t do any kind of part-time or odd-job, instead I went down to the town with few of my clubmates
After morning practice, we flew down on brooms. Basically, it was supposed to be my pre-birthday celebration.

To see such friendship forged through the trials of your club activities… Beauté! Such a beautiful relationship.
|
Ruggie
|
I mean, it’s not like were always hangin’ out with each other like best friends or anythin’. But, sure…
I guess I was happy enough that they were doing this as a return gift, or in return for doing their club chores.

You do look happy. What did they give you?

First, we did lunch. I had them treat me to the most expensive meal on the menu at the hamburger shop.
After that, we just kinda wandered the streets, lookin’ at all the special sales they had going on…
And just as we started getting’ kinda thirsty, we stopped at this pretty popular café.
It’s not a place I tend to even think about going into, ‘cause a drink costs close to 1000 madol, but…
If someone’s treatin’ me, then that a whole different story! Maaan, that sweet café au lait with all that whipped cream on top was sooooo good.
They blended the coffee, milk, syrup, and the ice into one smooth drink…
It was totally perfect for a slightly humid day! I also like that I can drink the whole thing without leaving anythin’ behind.
Normal drinks’ll leave ice in the end, so it kinda loses its good taste, tho.
But there’s no way I’d be drinkin’ that special drink if I had to pay for it. I wanna drink it again sometime, on someone else’s dime, of course.

Fufu, it seems that you received a wondrous present.
|
Ruggie

I got tons, like candy-coated fruit, or bread that was stuffed with pasta and the like…
And a bunch of other stuff, all for free. I even got some snacks to take home, so it was awesome!
I had an amazing day and I didn’t even need to spend 1 madol. And today, I’ll be able to eat my heart out at the feast later…
Birthdays are the absolute best! Coming here to Night Raven College really confirmed that!

Reluctantly, I must say… We’ve made it to the finale. Ruggie-kun, please accept this broom.

Thank you! I don’t really know much about flowers if I can’t eat 'em, but these look kinda tasty. They got a nice color reminds me of baked pastries.
But man, this looks real fancy. I wonder how much it’d fetch if I sold it… Haha, I’m just kidding!

I’m relieved to hear you are only joking. This bouquet has a warm and gentle ambiance. Please take good care of this as a memento of today.
Now, Monsieur Dandelion. TAKE TO THE SKIES ALONGSIDE THIS BROOM OF YOURS!
|
Ruggie
|
Yeah, yeah, gotcha. 'Kay, guess I gotta show 'em what I got.
|
|
Ruggie
|
Only a little bit more 'til I get to go to the party I’ve been waiting for. Gotta fly hard so I’ll be ready to eat at the feast!
