| Pomefiore Dorm - Lounge | ||
| Pomefiore Students | chattering... | |
Rook  |
Having so many of our students gathered here in the lounge like this makes for a rather a magnificent sight... | |
Epel  |
Rook-san! | |
Rook |
Oya, Epel-kun. | |
Epel |
I got a message from Vil-san telling everyone to come to the lounge...
What's going on? | |
Rook |
Hehe. I get why you might be nervous, but there's nothing to fear.
Vil will explain what's going on soon. | |
Vil  |
claps for attention
Is everyone here? I've gathered you all to make an important announcement. You're all familiar with Fierté,[1] aren't you? | |
Epel |
(stumbling over the pronunciation)
Fierté...? | |
Rook |
It's an international fashion magazine, famous for having Vil appear on its first cover. | |
Vil |
Yesterday I granted a request they sent about letting some of their writers come and cover Pomefiore for a piece they're working on.
The title of it is going to be Pomefiore ~The Young Men Dedicating Their Adolescence to the Pursuit of Beauty~ It appears they'll be highlighting our dormitory as well as the daily routines of its students. | |
Epel |
A piece on our dorm? What fo-... I mean... How come? | |
Vil |
With a model like myself in charge, they probably assumed I'm just as deeply committed when it comes to the beauty of its students...
In any case it seems their editors were curious about it. Besides, it'll be a good opportunity to promote the reputation of our dorm. | |
| Pomefiore Student A | Gosh... All of us appearing in Fierté! The idea makes me a little nervous... | |
Vil |
Yes, about that... None of you are even fit for a footnote in the margins of the black and white pages as you are right now.
To keep the piece from being an utter embarrassment, you'll all need to shape up considerably before then. | |
| Pomefiore Student B | When are they coming, by the way? | |
Vil |
One week from now. | |
| Pomefiore Student B | Th-That soon?!
Even if I put in an order for the newest beauty face roller and facial steamer today it'd only get here the day of! | |
| Pomefiore Students | chattering | |
Vil |
Stop your squawking.
If you follow my special regimen[2]... In a week I'll have all of you looking good enough to appear in the magazine. | |
| Pomefiore Student A | D-Do you really think so...? | |
Rook |
What kind of regimen do you propose? | |
Vil |
First of all, I'll thoroughly coach you on how to move and carry yourself like I do.
Following that, I'll have you wear your ceremonial robes and focus on maintaining a correct posture while going about your daily routine. Your diet is also important for maintaining beauty. I'll make a special meal plan out of herbs to match each of your individual body types, so I expect you all to finish everything on your plate. And as for you, Epel! | |
Epel |
Y-Yes! | |
Vil |
Seeing as your aptitude for beauty is lacking in comparison with your peers, you'll have to start brushing up from the very basics.
I have an extra special regimen just for you. Make sure you follow it exactly. | |
Epel |
What will you have me do...? | |
Vil |
Cleaning. I want you to wipe down all the windows in this dorm from top to bottom.
Not using any magic, of course. I want you to do this for a week. | |
Epel |
(All the windows in this dorm? Every day? Why am I the only one that has to...)
B-But! Considering how many windows this dorm has, don't you think that's a little too mu-... Ow-Ouch! Why are you grabbing my head like that?! | |
Vil |
I can't stand people that give up before they've even started.
So can I trust you to follow the regimen I've outlined? | |
Epel |
Y-Yes. I'll do my best. | |

Vil  |
You, there! You're slouching! Pay close attention to your posture when you walk! | |
| Pomefiore Student A | G-Got it! | |
Vil |
And you. The cuffs on your sleeves are frayed.
You need to work on paying more attention to detail. Part of having great style includes keeping your clothes in good condition. | |
| Pomefiore Student B | Your advice is greatly appreciated! | |
Vil |
Now... as for you all. Do you really think those haircuts are stylish?
Seems you were so caught up following the latest trend is that you didn't stop to consider whether it actually looked good on you or not. Always know what works best for yourself first. Then you can jump on whatever is hot at the moment. | |
| Pomefiore Student C | P-Please forgive us! | |
| ||
| Pomefiore Dorm | ||
Epel  |
Vil-san seems like his usual cheerful self today... I can hear him all the way over here...
Looks like I got the better end of the deal stuck out here cleaning windows over getting nagged at for this and that, even if it didn't seem that way at first. | |
| gust of wind blowing | ||
Epel |
NO WAY, I DEFINITELY HAVE IT WAY WORSE!
I can't believe he's making me wipe down the outside of every window in a place the size of a castle like this! Even the ones this high up without any kind of scaffold to stand on! ...I wonder how many meters it is from up here to the ground. If I were to slip and fall... | |
Vil |
Epel! | |
| tapping on glass | ||
Epel |
Uh-oh?! I think hear someone on the other side... Vil-san?! | |
Vil |
Do you think you'll be able to get all of them done today? | |
Epel |
Y-Yes!
So I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk to me right now! If I lose my grip on this windowpane I'll be a total goner! | |
Vil |
Fufufu, I can see you're really concentrating hard. Keep up the good work. | |
| ||
| Pomefiore Dorm - Hallway | ||
| Pomefiore Student A | sigh... Vil's regimen sure is a lot tougher than I thought it'd be... | |
| Pomefiore Student B | He may be right and all, but maybe he could be a little nicer coaching us... | |
| Pomefiore Student A | It felt like he had his eyes on us the entire time so we never even got a moment's rest. | |
Epel |
My entire body aches since he made me clean windows all day.
What if he's just making us work this hard for the heck of it... | |
| Pomefiore Student A | He wouldn't! I can't believe someone like him would do that to us. | |
| Pomefiore Student B | Yeah but... The whole time he was just standing around and telling us what to do. | |
| Pomefiore Student A | That's because compared to us he's already in an entirely different league. What I mean is... He doesn't even need to lift a finger. | |
| Pomefiore Student B | Well either way, I don't agree with it. Why should we be the only ones to suffer... | |
| Pomefiore Student A | Let's leave it. If we keep going it'll just sound like we're complaining, which isn't very beautiful, is it? | |
| Pomefiore Student B | ...Yeah, I guess you're right. In any case I'm exhausted. We should get some sleep for tomorrow. | |
Epel |
That's a good idea... I guess? We're probably the only ones still up right now... Wait, what's that over there?
Looks like the lights in the lounge are still on. | |
| Pomefiore Student A | I think I can hear someone talking... I wonder who's in there? | |
| Pomefiore Student B | Yeah, I'm curious to see who it is. | |
|
| ||
| Pomefiore Dorm - Lounge | ||
Rook  |
Vil... Don't you have to be up early tomorrow? I thought you had that meeting for your commercial shoot?
It's important you give that glowing complexion of yours some rest. | |
Vil |
I'd love to but I can't with all this work left to do.
I need to finish organising these notes here. | |
Rook |
What have you got written there? | |
Vil |
I made a record of everyone's height and weight, as well as their posture and how they walk. Then what kind of herbs I think would benefit them. | |
Rook |
Being able to see and identify every student's individual condition like that... You really are une merveille.[1]
But I don't think the other students here realize just how hard you work... | |
Vil |
They don't need to. I'm not doing it to win their favor.
All of the students chosen to enter Pomefiore should be strong and beautiful. It's my job as their leader to guide ones that aren't ripe yet. Ara... Look at how late it is. | |
Rook |
Are you finally heading to bed now? | |
Vil |
No, I still have to do my workout. | |
Rook |
Truly, you always leave me in awe. | |
|
| ||
| Pomefiore Dorm - Hallway | ||
Epel |
Did you hear all of that...? | |
| Pomefiore Student A | Yeah...
It was silly to assume he didn't need to do anything to be that beautiful. | |
Epel |
You're right. And badmouthing someone working even harder than any of us... | |
| Pomefiore Student B | What were we thinking! | |
| Pomefiore Student A | No matter how tough it is, we should trust him as our leader and do our best. | |
| Pomefiore Student B | Right! | |
Epel |
Yeah. I'll do as Vil-san said and keep wiping windows for the rest of the week. | |
| ||
| The day of-- | ||
|
| ||
| Pomefiore Dorm - Lounge | ||
| Pomefiore Student A | The writers from Fierté should be here any minute. I still feel nervous after all... | |
| Pomefiore Student B | I wonder what kind of people they are, working for a famous magazine like that... | |
Vil |
Quiet, all of you. Straighten up and hold your heads high. | |
| sound of approaching footsteps | ||
| Writer | Bonjour.
Ahead of the mode and at the forefront of beauty... We're Fierté. Thank you for accepting our request, Mr. Schoenheit. | |
Vil |
I should be the one thanking you.
This is a unique opportunity for us to spread the appeal of our dormitory to those outside of our school. Welcome to Pomefiore. | |
| Pomefiore Students | Welcome! | |
Vil |
Let me give you a tour.
Epel. Please give them a hand. | |
Epel |
Yes! Here, let me take your things! | |
| (tour ends) | ||
Vil |
Next I'd like to show you what our daily routine is like.
What did you think of our dormitory? | |
| Writer | I'm completely in awe.
From what I can tell the students here are mindful and observant in everything they do. From how they move down its elegant halls... To the way there's not a single visible wrinkle on their clothes... And its interior looks as polished as a mirror, as if the dorm were your own personal runway... | |
Vil |
I'm sure the students here will be delighted to hear that. | |
| Pomefiore Student A | It looks like all of our hard work paid off... | |
| Pomefiore Student B | We made the right choice going along with him after all... | |
| Writer | Last, would you mind if we interviewed you while taking your picture for the magazine? | |
Vil |
Not at all. | |
| Writer | In that case... Oh? That sitting chair adorned with the peacock, is that... | |
Vil |
Yes, that's right...
It's a replica of the throne that belonged to the Queen who was said to be the Fairest of All, one of the Great Seven. | |
| Writer | A fitting symbol for you and this dormitory.
Please allow me interview you and take your picture on it. And let's have one student standing on either side of you. You first, for your dignified appearance that seems to match Mr. Schoenheit's. | |
Rook |
Oui! It would be my pleasure. | |
| Writer | And then... You, the one who carried our bags earlier. | |
Epel |
Me?! B-But why...? | |
| Writer | While our bags may be some of the hottest new items this season, they're also full of all of our tools and equipment.
I can tell you must work out... Even though you're slender, you never even flinched while carrying them. You have a well-balanced figure- not one achieved from strict dieting. | |
Epel |
I-Is that so...
(Come to think of it, I do feel like I've gained some muscle and my posture's improved...) (Maybe Vil-san had me wipe all those windows so I'd be more fit...?) | |
| Writer | Now, let's get a picture of all three of you together. | |
| camera shutter and flash go off | ||
| ||
| Writer | Fantastic... You look just like a modern day "Queen" with two handsome young knights guarding over your beautiful appearance.
Now, let's get to the interview. What do the students at Pomefiore consider to be the secret to beauty? | |
Vil |
Let me see...
The right amount of exercise and a hearty diet. And getting enough rest... I suppose? | |
Epel |
("The right amount of exercise" huh... He must be talking about his strict coaching and making me wipe down all of those windows...)
(And pretending those barely seasoned herb dishes he fed us were hearty...) (Vil may be an incredible person but I don't really get him at all, I guess...) | |
| Writer | Is that really the secret, just those three things?
Surely there's much more to it than that? Would you mind giving us the real truth? | |
Vil |
Let's see...
Be strong and be proud. Maybe you could say... The biggest secret of all is working hard every day to come out on top. | |
