This is…
|
*chatter chatter*
|
Man A
|
Have you already gotten all seven stamps for the rally?
|
Woman B
|
Nope, not yet! We're just about to start! We thought we'd go for the Mystery Shop first.
|
Woman C
|
Everywhere's great fun, but you can't leave out souvenir shopping!
|
*chatter chatter*
|
Leona
Leona
|
What the hell's this crowd all about?
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
There's a whole slew of people around the shop.
None of them are wearing school outfits… Maybe they're visitors for Halloween Week.
But there kinda feels like there's way too many people even just for that…
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Oh, Leona and Ruggie! Happy Halloween!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Happy Halloween, Kalim.
|
Leona
Leona
|
Oh, right. The Mystery Shop is Scarabia's venue, ain't it?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Uh-huh! I'm on the afternoon shift for the stamps today. I'll be swapping with the morning shift soon.
Are you guys shopping together? You're such good friends!
|
Leona
Leona
|
Like hell we are.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Yeah, don't get the wrong idea. I'm the one that's always sent to do the shopping anyway, regardless of whose it is, but...
our dorm's working hard for Halloween Week, so I guess we could buy something for them for their work today.
…Or at least, that's what Leona said!
|
Leona
Leona
|
…
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
If I didn't drag him out here, he'd have left it all to me, though.
|
Leona
Leona
|
This is such a pain…
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Surely you can at least buy gifts yourself. Sleep too much and you'll turn into a cow.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Gifts, huh? That sounds amazing! Jack's been doing a ton of work for the committee, as well.
If the dorm leader appreciated his work, I'm sure he'll be ecstatic!
|
Leona
Leona
|
Managing the motivation of the pride is the leader's role.
If all it takes is treating them to one or two meals to manage that, then I'll do it. Helps me out that they're all so simple.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Shishishi, you should learn how to be more honest, Leona.
…Not that I care much. Give me a free meal and I'll do anything for ya.
|
Leona
Leona
|
Still, what's up with that group of meerkats? They're so noisy, I don't even want to try going close.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
They're all Halloween Week visitors, I think.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Wait, seriously?!
Isn't there about, like…
Jeez, there's so many. But I think there's at least a hundred people here!
|
Leona
Leona
|
Til last year, there were barely queues at all for Halloween. The hell happened?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Well, long story short, the Ramshackle ghosts put up a selfie on Magicam that ended up super popular.
And that caused Night Raven's Halloween itself to start trending.
I imagine they all came here because of that same Magicam photo.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Ahh, I see now. So this is what you call going viral, right?
|
Leona
Leona
|
Are you kidding me on? What a joke…
|
*chatter chatter*
|
Man A
|
Apparently this is a, "Mystery Shop Limited Edition Night Raven College Waffle". I kinda bought it without thinking.
|
Woman B
|
Oh, the crow shape makes it so cute! The apple jam tastes so nice, too.
|
Man C
|
The inside of the shop was that perfect mix of scary and cute. And…
…that werewolf costume was so high-quality!
|
Woman B
|
I know, right?! Cool, but cute. A little scary, but so pretty, too.
|
Man A
|
Oh, there's someone dressed up over there, too.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Hm? You mean me?
|
Man A
|
Um… Is it okay to take a photo?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Yeah, go ahead!
Actually, would you all like to take a photo together? It would make for a good memory to look back on.
|
Man A
|
Oh, thank you so much!
|
Woman B
|
Alright, pose, everyone!
|
*flash*
|
Woman B
|
If you don't mind, could you maybe pose a little like a werewolf?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Sure! Like this?
|
Woman B
|
Ahhh, you look so cool! I'll do the same pose!
|
*flash!* *snap!*
*chatter chatter*
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Wow, everyone in front of the shop's getting even more excited 'cause of Kalim.
Such a lively Halloween… Makes me think of home a bit.
|
Leona
Leona
|
Can they all just shut up…?
|
Man C
|
Hey, there's a werewolf over there, too!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Huh? Are there more Scarabia students here?
…?
…Oh no. Are you talking about me?!
|
Man C
|
Yeah. Let us take a picture with you.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
This isn't a costume. And anyway, I'm not a wolf, I'm a hyena!
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Oh come on, don't be such a party pooper, Ruggie. It's basically the same thing, right?
Let's get our photos taken together!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
You can't even begin to compare them!
Anyway, I don't volunteer for no pay just to appeal to some tourists… Ah, hey!
If you're wanting someone Magicammable, I know the perfect person to ask.
Shishishi. Raised up as a noble, he's strong and tough, and has a real intimidating aura…
Hang on! Where'd Leona go?!
|
Leona
Leona
|
Heh heh… Ain't these some happy days, Ruggie? Look at you bein' a popular boy.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
When did you get so far away?! Don't leave me behind! You're so horrible!
|
Leona
Leona
|
I'm gonna buy what we need and go on ahead. Take as much time as you need.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Hey, don't just use me as the decoy for your inability to bother your backside to talk to people!
|
Leona
Leona
|
Well, if you'll excuse me, kettle, you're the one who tried to use me as bait first. You reap what you sow.
See ya. Happy Halloween.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
It'd be a waste for me to not get a photo with you, as well. Lemme take one with my own phone later.
|
Man A
|
Do that roaring pose again!
|
Woman B
|
Could you both line up in front of the shop?
|
Man C
|
Let us take a photo next!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Th-This is never gonna end…
Wait for me, my beloved free fooooooood!
