I'm surprised you're able to walk with ease with such heavy armor, Idia.
|
Idia
Idia
|
We made the armor with lightweight materials, so it's not actually as heavy as it looks.

Then what on earth is that metallic noise echoing down the hall?
|
Idia
Idia
|
Oh, d-did you notice?
We put speakers in that make sound effects go off in time with my walking. Cool, isn't it? Heehee.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Such fanatical obsession with the details is something that us regular people would never even think of. You never cease to amaze.
|
Idia
Idia
|
…Is that a compliment or what?

Hey, I thought the Mirror Chamber usually wasn't allowed to be entered unless you're a member of the school.
Didn't you say something back during the Magift tournament that it's an important place, so regular people shouldn't enter?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
I did. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are prohibited access, even during special events.
However, Halloween Week is different. Only then are they allowed in to take a look.
The Dark Mirror is an exceedingly important magic item to Night Raven College.
It should be noted that it is still forbidden to take photos, though, as it concerns the authority of the school.
Now, we've finally arrived at the Mirror Chamber!

Rook
Rook

Bonjour, members of the Halloween Committee. Oh, and the headmaster, of course.
You're all wearing such wonderful costumes. There's no doubt this will be an exciting Halloween Week indeed!
Naturally, our Pomefiore will not be putting in any less effort.
Now, come and take a look at our wonderful Halloween venue!
|
Jack

|
Take a look…?
Take a look at what? I don't see any Halloween decorations anywhere.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Did you not manage it in time?
|
Rook
Rook
|
*chuckle* You misunderstand me. There is a reason we have retained the Mirror Chamber as it is.
The Mirror Chamber as it is is already the perfect example of beauty!
|
Vil
|
*click clack*
It's as Rook has said. There is no need to do anything to the Mirror Chamber. The Mirror Chamber itself is the icon of the school.
Harmony is key when it comes to fashion. An outfit that suits the location is fundamental for beauty.
Our presence only brings out the beauty of the Mirror Chamber. It is the best collaboration.
Harmony with tradition. Such a beautiful Halloween is what Pomefiore has chosen to present!

Our costumes…are vampires.

What do you think? Such beautiful costumes suit Pomefiore perfectly, don't you think?
|

*blink*
*gasp* Oh my. I was so taken by you, I lost my words for a moment there.
|
Vil
Vil
|
*chuckle* As you should.
A monster that captivates anyone who lays eyes on it. That is what a vampire should be.
But my beauty is a natural, everyday occurrence. Today is a little special.
|
Jack
Jack
|
Special in what way?
|
Vil

…

Jack

|
Now that you mention it, you, uh…sorta look a little more amazing than usual.
Like, uh, you give off this aura of intensity that's so strong, it makes me feel like I'm losing some battle if I look away from you.
|
Vil

Precisely! My makeup today is not the usual I put on to make myself look beautiful.
Blend eyeshadow thickly across the eye to give it an exaggerated look. Look intently at your prey to ensure they won't escape.
No blusher is used to make the skin look lifeless. Instead, use contouring to accentuate the cheekbones.
A striking dark lipstick is essential to create an image of the dark of night. Every time you let out a whisper, you charm all who hear.
The outfits are made from a classical Gobbelins weave and frills, creating a gothic horror theming…
All of this was to create an image of decadent beauty. A costume that will give anyone who lays eyes on it a shiver up their back.
A joint performance of beauty and fear… Isn't this just the perfect theme for Halloween?
|
Epel
Epel
|
Hehe. I think the makeup is super cool, too.
It's so scary and intimidating. I look stronger than any ghost out there!
|
Vil
Vil
|
Epel. That pose has zero class.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Ugh… I know.
|
Rook
Rook
|
It is said that vampires don't show up in mirrors.
How tragic that they can look this beautiful, and yet can't even admire their beauty!
|
Vil
Vil
|
Agreed. I don't think I could live in a world where I couldn't look at myself.
That is why we admire this beautiful Mirror Chamber. Isn't that the perfect story for a vampire?
|
Jack
Jack
|
So you create a sense of reality while leaving the set in its original state… I'll definitely keep this in mind in future!

If it wasn't a dorm as obsessed with beauty as Pomefiore telling me this, I'd think they were just trying to make excuses for not decorating.
|
Epel
Epel
|
We put up signs to stop people from accidentally taking pictures when they come here for the stamp rally.
But besides that, we haven't touched anything.
|
Rook
Rook
|
The Mirror Chamber is such an important place to the school that it is practically the heart of it.
While in charge of the stamp rally, we must also take on the role of security.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Wonderful. To be treasured so carefully, I'm sure the Dark Mirror is jumping with joy!

See! Look at that happiness!

Malleus

You call that happy?

Perhaps he's a little shy to show a smile when he's happy? Not that I would know.

…In any case, we have now seen the stamp rally venues of all seven dorms.
Everyone's Halloween preparations are perfect.
Tomorrow is Sunday. As it is a holiday, I imagine there will be many guests.
Let us make this a fun Halloween together.
Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
