Episode 1-11: Practically Common Knowledge

Library - Entrance Hall
Ortho Ortho	Welcome, everyone! Enjoy Ignihyde's Halloween tons, okay? The showing will now begin.
Deuce Deuce	W-Wait, suddenly a showing? What are we about to see?
[[File:Bg 61506.png
Cater Cater	Whoa! A jack-o'-lantern just came flying from the bookshelves!
Malleus Malleus	The library has been turned into a foggy forest… Even I have never seen such magic.
Ortho Ortho	This isn't magic! It's actually a projection mapping made by everyone in Ignihyde. What you do is take a projector and project image data onto a three-dimensional object like a building.
Deuce Deuce	It really is like we've been warped to some unknown land!
Ortho Ortho	Heh heh. Ignihyde excels at magical engineering, so I'd say this suits us perfectly. And as for what will appear after this…
Idia	"What kind of pumpkin can pumpkins not eat despite it being a pumpkin?"
Idia Idia	"…The answer is yours truly! The tragic monster, Pumpkin Knight!"
All	WHO ARE YOU?!
Idia Idia	Who…? It's me. Idia Shroud. In what situation would that seem like it was leading to anyone but me?
Vil Vil	Given that utterly irritating way of talking…I'm certain that is indeed you.
Idia Idia	Heehee, did I give you a fright? As you can see, my Halloween costume is… Pumpkin Knight!
Deuce Deuce	I see, Pumpkin Knight! So, uh… what is this Pumpkin Knight?
Idia Idia	Excuse me?! Are you telling me you don't know the masterpiece horror movie, "Pumpkin Hollow"?!
Deuce Deuce	I've never even heard of it… Hold on, is it just me?! Do you guys all know of it?
All	We don't.
Vil Vil	I stay fairly up-to-date with all the latest movies at the cinemas, and even I've never heard of it.
Idia Idia	You're kidding! This is why I hate you normies! This costume is of a ghost that appears in a movie called Pumpkin Hollow. It's the incarnation of a pumpkin that someone tried to make into a jack-o'-lantern but failed. It couldn't be eaten nor could it be used as decoration. The anger of that abandoned pumpkin turned it into the Pumpkin Knight… It descends upon the village which did him so, and night after night, it would attack more and more of the villagers. It's a B-horror film. This stuff is practically common knowledge.
Vil Vil	Just from hearing the plot, it sounds like a Z-movie, never mind a B-movie.
Idia Idia	Around this time of year, we always end up talking about Pumpkin Hollow on my Magicam account, you know?
Ortho Ortho	The detective on the case thinks the Pumpkin Knight is a human, but when he takes off the helmet… …there's just another pumpkin waiting inside! It's the best!
Idia Idia	Right! That's one of the best scenes! So we decided to recreate the background and sound with the projection mapping, and then I would take the stage as the Pumpkin Knight. But we had to somehow take into consideration both the movie fans that would be able to see what was coming next, and also spoiler prevention for the people that had yet to see it. So we changed it up a bit and carried out a visual trick using lighting effects and reflections to have the head disappear instead when the helmet is taken off.
Cater Cater	Hey, Idia, you're really managing to talk well even without your tablet today ♪
Idia Idia	Heh. Why, with a helmet on my head, there's nothing for me to fear.
Deuce Deuce	This is amazing! You've completely gotten into the role of the Pumpkin Knight!
Cater Cater	You think so? He kinda just seems like the same old Idia to me… But it's true that your outfit—or, well, armor, I guess—is really well-made. It almost looks real! It really shows how skilled you are.
Idia Idia	Fuheehee… Projection mapping x a live-action show… I'll show you all the skill of Ignihyde and the appeal of Pumpkin Hollow!
Crowley Crowley	Such high quality is just what I would expect from a dorm skilled in not only magic, but engineering, as well! This year's Halloween is no less wonderful than any of the previous years. …Oh, we're already onto the last dorm. It is a shame, but I'm looking forward to it. Let us be off! To the Mirror Chamber, where Pomefiore's stamp rally venue awaits!
