Episode 5-8: Give Up Gracefully

At Night Raven College, as Halloween night was coming to a close…
Ramshackle Dorm
Malleus Malleus	I suppose this is the last day we'll get to see Ramshackle Dorm decorated like this.
Guest B	Thank you, everyone from Night Raven College!
Vil (off-screen) Vil (off-screen)	That should be our line. We thank you for enjoying our party until the end.
Malleus Malleus	I can hear everyone cheering. It must almost be closing time. Halloween is almost at its end for the year…
???	Waaaaaaah! We didn't make it!
Malleus Malleus	Hm? Is that someone crying?
???	sniff sob
Malleus Malleus	Who's out here crying in a dark corner of Ramshackle Dorm?
???	sniff Fsssssssh!
Ghost A Ghost A	Ah, a student of Night Raven College. Good evening.
Malleus Malleus	Why, if it isn't some ghosts. You don't look familiar. You aren't from around here, are you?
Ghost A Ghost A	No. We came from a land somewhere far away.
Ghost B Ghost B	There is only one reason we travelled all this way!
Ghosts	To experience Night Raven College's Halloween!
Malleus Malleus	To experience our school's Halloween? But it just finished a moment ago. You're a little too late.
Ghost C Ghost C	Ergh, you're a blunt one, aren't you?
Malleus Malleus	This is the first time I've ever experienced a Halloween so fun myself. The human world changes so quickly. I imagine it will be a while until we have another Halloween as exciting as this one again.
Ghost C Ghost C	Waaaaaaaaah! He's just stabbing us more without mercy!
Ghost B Ghost B	sniff If only we'd seen how popular it was on that "Magicam" thing quicker!
Malleus Malleus	Magicam? I see, so you gained interest in coming after seeing its reputation on the internet.
Ghost A Ghost A	Yes. It all happened just yesterday. We saw some humans passing by with these small mechanical boards in their hands getting excited over something.
Malleus Malleus	Small mechanical boards… Ahh, I understand. You mean smartphones.
Ghost B Ghost B	Those humans were using those boards to access something called "Magicam". And on there…
Ghost C Ghost C	…was none other than a picture of some ghosts having the time of their afterlives!
Ghost B Ghost B	We couldn't help but be jealous seeing them have such a good time with other humans!
Ghost C Ghost C	So we came here ourselves hoping we could experience the same.
Malleus Malleus	Hm. It is true that the ghosts at this year's Halloween have been quite the focus of everyone's attention. But ghosts are the stars of Halloween in the first place. Could you not spend a fun time at your hometown, as well? There is no need for you to be so obsessed with Night Raven College specifically. I would recommend you give up gracefully.
Ghost A Ghost A	We couldn't do that. We're ghosts that have been forgotten.
Ghost B Ghost B	We have no home to return to, no one to notice us. All we can do is aimlessly wander. We've never even been invited to a Halloween party before.
Malleus Malleus	You've…never been invited to a party before?
Ghost C Ghost C	We were jealous of how much fun it looked like the Night Raven ghosts were having.
Ghost A Ghost A	We want to get the chance to enjoy a party with living humans, too!
Malleus Malleus	…Hmm. Since you've never been invited, you can't participate in a party, even if you want to. … There's something that this Halloween has made me realize. If you aren't invited to a party… …then simply put on the party yourself.
Huh?
Malleus Malleus	It's not too late. Everyone at Night Raven College loves Halloween. I'm sure they'd all be ecstatic if you were to invite them to your own Halloween party.
Ghost A Ghost A	Th-Then…!
Malleus Malleus	Yes. We'll just put on another Halloween party!
Another Halloween Party?!
Ghost B Ghost B	But Halloween is about to end in less than two hours.
Ghost C Ghost C	Exactly. There's no way we can prepare a whole party in time.
Malleus Malleus	Simple. Just make it that Halloween can't end.
Ghost A Ghost A	Hm? Stop Halloween from ending? Is something like that even possible?!
Malleus Malleus	Our school already has a powerful barrier surrounding the campus. Utilize that along with the energy of many other ghosts, and it wouldn't be impossible. Should you still not have enough mana, I will lend you my aid. I am not against assisting with this if it means that we can enjoy a Halloween party together with everyone.
Ghost A Ghost A	You would go so far for the sake of ghosts you've only just met?
Ghost B Ghost B	What a kind student you are!


Back to the present…
The Other Dimension - Sparkling Chamber
Ghost A Ghost A	…And that about sums it up.
Lilia Lilia	Malleus filled me in on the situation when we returned to the dorm. It sounded so exciting that I simply could not pass up the chance to cooperate! I made sure to contact the Ramshackle ghosts, as well.
Ramshackle Ghost Ramshackle Ghost	We couldn't let our fellow ghosts end Halloween on such a sad note. While we were there, we thought we'd invite our living friends from Ramshackle, as well.
And there you have it.		Yo. Been a bit.
Ace Ace	Yuu?!
