"The presenter chosen by the Magical Birthday Dice will come bearing your 'good fortune'," ...huh.
It's almost time for the interview to start… I wonder who's coming. | |
??? ???  |
Bonjour, Silver-kun!! | |
Rook  |
I, Rook Hunt, am here to be your presenter today. I'm very much looking forward to it. | |
Silver |
Rook-senpai. So you're the one the magical birthday dice chose.
I'm looking forward to it as well. | |
Rook |
Then without any further ado... Happy birthday, Silver-kun! Here's my gift to you. | |
Silver |
I'm grateful to receive it. I wonder what's inside...
Is this... a camera? It appears different from the ones I'm familiar with... | |
Rook |
Oui! Might this be your first time handling a physical camera like this? | |
Silver |
Yes. My smartphone has a camera function so I've never thought it was necessary to own one.
I mainly use it to take pictures of the announcements they put up on the bulletin board or to check my riding posture. | |
Rook |
Fumu. In other words, you only use it for making your daily life more convenient. | |
Silver |
Though I can't say I'm the best when it comes to taking pictures... I've never had any issues with the one on my smartphone.
Even though you went to the trouble of gifting me this present, I'm afraid I may not have much use for it. | |
Rook |
Pas de problème! This camera has a special trick to it, you see. | |
Silver |
A trick? What do you mean..? | |
Rook |
That's the fun part that comes after. First, let me show you how to use it. Hold the camera with both hands like so…
Peer through the finder and capture whatever you'd like within its frame. Then press the button next to your right hand. | |
Silver |
I see. Though it doesn't appear to be any different from using a regular camera... Would you mind if I took a picture of something right now? | |
Rook |
Bien sur. Have you decided on what you'd like to photograph yet? | |
Silver |
Let's see... In light of the occasion and your gift, I'd like to take a picture of you, Rook-senpai. | |
Rook |
I'm honored you would choose me to be the first. As for a pose... How about something like this? | |
Silver |
Th-Those splits are incredible... You must have practiced that one. I'll go ahead and take the picture. | |
| *the camera clicks and whirs* | ||
Silver |
Something's coming out of the camera?! It looks like a black card... Oh?
I can make Rook-senpai out from the black area. I see now, this must be... | |
Rook |
Have you figured it out, then? That's right, what makes it special is that the photographs you take will instantly develop.
As you said, using your smartphone you can easily take pictures anywhere. But only this camera gives you the thrill of waiting for the full image to develop. | |
Silver |
I see what you mean now. I did feel excited waiting for it to appear. | |
Rook |
It also allows for some pleasant conversation in the meantime. | |
Silver |
It's convenient that smartphones allow you to see the picture as soon as you take it... But with this camera you don't know how the image is going to turn out... Or rather it keeps you on edge while you wait.
...And if I were to use it with family and friends, I could share this feeling together with them. | |
Rook |
How do you like it? Do you think you'll be able to get some use out of it now? | |
Silver |
Yes. Thank you for the wonderful present, Rook-senpai. I'm looking forward to taking more pictures with it. | |
Rook |
I'm delighted to hear that! I hope you'll show me the pictures you take with it. | |
Silver |
Of course. Look forward to it. | |

Rook |
Next I'd like to begin the interview. | |
Silver |
Yes, please do. | |
Rook |
"If you could choose one person at Night Raven College to have as a brother, who would it be?" However... It seems that it can't be anyone from the same dormitory. | |
Silver |
A brother, huh... No one immediately comes to mind. | |
Rook |
If I remember correctly, you're an only child, aren't you? | |
Silver |
That's right... Except I've known Sebek since we were young.
We were both taught martial arts and how to use a sword by my father, and at times went through rigorous training together. You could say that we were raised like brothers. We've gone against each other, and when I see Sebek making a real effort I naturally become more disciplined myself. | |
Rook |
How wonderful! It seems the two of you have both benefited from a bit of friendly competition. | |
Silver |
Yes. You could say his presence is a familiar and encouraging one. But someone from another dormitory...
Ah, I know. I'd choose Deuce Spade from Heartslabyul. He's in his first year... which would make him a younger brother to me. | |
Rook |
Monsieur Spade. And what made you choose him? | |
Silver |
He cares very much for his mother.
In my case, I have a deep love and respect for my father who raised and trained me as an orphan. So I'd prefer to have someone who cared just as deeply about family as a brother. Besides that, he always greets me in a clear voice whenever we pass each other in the hallway or on the field. I like how spirited he is. He's committed to the track and field club, and according to Sebek he tries his best at his studies, even at the subjects he finds difficult. | |
Rook |
Ah, I've heard that about him myself. It would seem he intends to be an honor student. | |
Silver |
I see, I suppose he wants to set a good example for the rest of the school. I could probably learn from his example as well.
Although I do make regular efforts to improve myself... If Deuce and I were brothers, I might find other areas I'm lacking in to work on. | |
Rook |
Marvelous! You possess the insatiable spirit of one who desires to better themself! I believe I could learn by your example myself! | |
Silver |
I still have much to learn. I haven't achieved anything worthy of praise yet, but I'm grateful for your words, Rook-senpai. Thank you. | |

Rook |
Now for the next question.
“If you were to transfer into another dormitory besides Diasomnia, which one would you choose?” | |
Silver |
Hmm. Each dormitory has its own merits...
But perhaps Ignihyde for the purpose of improving where I'm weakest, since I don't have very much experience when it comes to using machines. | |
Rook |
I see. They're equipped with the latest in magical engineering technology and the interior there is very stylish and beautiful indeed.
I'm sure with your enthusiasm for learning, you'd be able to pick it up naturally! | |
Silver |
There's only one issue... It seems the students at Ignihyde don't care much for going outside.
It might be difficult to find someone to train with there. | |
Rook |
Oh, I see... You may have a point there.
I can just imagine the students at Ignihyde scurrying away in fear like little mice if you were to approach them about it! | |
Silver |
Yes... That would be inconsiderate of me. In that case, if I were to transfer to another dormitory, I'd choose Savanaclaw. | |
Rook |
Savanaclaw! What a completely different choice. May I inquire as to why? | |
Silver |
Savanaclaw is full of students who prefer physical activity and excel at sports and martial arts.
If I enrolled there, I doubt there would be any shortage of students to train with. I could gain a number of new experiences that I think would help me improve myself. | |
Rook |
Fufu. When it comes to physical training, there's no dormitory more appropriate than Savanaclaw.
Although... What is the nature behind your desire to become stronger? | |
Silver |
The reason for training so hard is because someday I want to surpass my father. In order to do that, I need to work harder and harder. | |
Rook |
With much regret, that concludes the interview. The only thing remaining is today's main event... | |
Silver |
Presenting me with my "gift of good fortune". | |
Rook |
Oui! That's correct. Are you prepared to accept it? | |
Silver |
Certainly. I'm not one to run and hide. | |
Rook |
Ah, I can feel your spirit. It wouldn't do for me not to respond in earnest.
Fufu, don't worry. Once I've ascertained my target, I never miss. | |
Silver |
Ah. I'm prepared to accept your "gift of good fortune" with everything I've got! | |
Rook |
In that case, ready yourself for it!
Silver-kun, happy birthday! | |
