That reminds me... Kalim. Regarding those creatures, what do you believe is a suitable approach to handling them?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
You mean this li'l fella?
It looked like it had fun dancing to my phone's text notif ringtone just now, you know. I think it's got good vibes and is a fun one to be with!
|
Azul
Azul
|
No, that's not what I meant... Personally, I feel that we should protect them.
After all, there doesn't seem to be any harm in doing just that, so treating them with the spirit of benevolence should be appropriate. I do wonder what the headmaster would say, however...
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
I believe there should be no issue in that regard, because Sebek also took care of the one resembling himself in accordance with the headmaster's instructions.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Is that so? That is reassuring to hear, Lilia.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Man, you really are such a nice guy, Azul. You even thought seriously about what to do with these guys!
|
Azul
Azul
|
Oh no, not at all, I am far from the magnanimous figure you believe me to be. It just isn't in my nature to leave anyone or anything just floundering by themselves.
Kalim, Lilia, if either of you ever encounter any difficulties in the handling of those creatures, please feel free reach out to me anytime.
Because I will gladly take up the mantle of caregiver for all of our creatures free of charge!!

Lilia
Lilia

Hoh? No compensation required at all? Such impressive statements are rare coming from you.
Did you come up with a fun idea by any chance?
|
Azul
Azul
|
A fun idea, you say? Why, I have no clue what you mean by that.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Thanks, Azul! I'll make sure to reach out if any trouble does happen!

Apologies for disturbing you this late in the night, Headmaster Crowley. Is now a good time?
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
So like, a bunch of odd creatures actually fell out of the sky just now. It's these guys...
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Yes yes, this is about the Tsums, correct?
Sigh... Really now. Just how many of them have arrived this time? It's not as if I have time for this either, and yet...

Good evening. Mr. Kalim Al-Asim's group is also here, it seems.
|
Rook

We were just about to spend the night discussing about the mysterious set of circumstances surrounding our dear guests and the beautiful phenomenon which occurred this evening.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Oh my...Azul. I see you have found the creature that resembles yourself as well.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Indeed. Going out to search for a possible Tsum on my own after encountering the one resembling you turned out to be the right call.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
So I wasn't the only one who found a Tsum after all... I didn't think there'd be so many of us who did, though.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Hey, is the "Tsum" thing that everyone's been mentioning supposed to refer to these fellas by any chance?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
That is correct. It refers to the mysterious creatures that appeared out of nowhere in tandem with a dazzling ray of light. For some reason, they assume forms that resemble our students as well...
As to where they came from and how they managed to slip through the college's barrier... They both remain unknown.
...How is it possible for the barrier to be broken through AGAIN considering I'd reexamined it after the Tsums returned the last time, though?! I can't stand this!
|
Jade
Jade
|
It appears it does not end with that. The Tsums are climbing onto the backs of other Tsums, which then proceed to climb onto other Tsums...
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Mysterious creatures... If that's the case, then how do we know that these creatures are called "Tsums"?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Ahh, that's...
|
Azul
Azul
|
...Oh? Please, have a look. The Tsums have all gathered in one place at some point while we weren't paying attention.
|
Jade
Jade
|
It appears it does not end with that. The Tsums are climbing onto the backs of other Tsums, which then proceed to climb onto other Tsums...
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
They climb so skilfully~ Take care not to fall over, okay!
|
Tsums Tsum
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
Ooh, this is quite the fine pile they have made... Hm?
|
Rook
Rook
|
They appear to bear quite the striking resemblance to how stones are stacked in monument signs. ...Oooh!
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
Perhaps the creatures have a tendency to stack themselves upon other individuals... Ah!
|
Azul
Azul
|
When they gather in one location, they pile themselves up on each other... For as many individuals as there are, one after another...
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
I see, so that's why they're...
|
Everyone
|
TSUM TSUMS!!!!!
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
...That's right. Which is why for convenience's sake, we called these creatures "Tsums" in turn.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
So that's why. I think its a good name that's also easy to understand.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Now that we have solved the mystery of its name, I believe it's about time we moved on to the main question at hand.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
The main question?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Correct. The question right now is who exactly should be in charge of taking care of these Tsums.
|
Azul
Azul
|
We too have heard from Floyd regarding the circumstances surrounding the previous encounter. It is likely that the Tsums to remain with us until tomorrow night, correct?
Which is to say, someone is required to look after the Tsums until then.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
It is exactly as you said. Just like the last time, all of you students will be in charge of looking after them.
Each of you, please take the respective Tsum that resembles you and take care of it.
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Ohh, sure! Sounds kinda fun anyways.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Having to add Tsum care on to my work at the Mostro Lounge... It will be difficult, but I understand.
I shall accept this responsibility for the sake of our ever-caring headmaster with open arms!
|
Kalim
Kalim
|
Good for you, Azul! You did want to look after the Tsums after all.
|
Rook
Rook
|
The ability to coexist with an unknown creature is nothing short of fantastic. I, too, welcome this proposition warmly. There is simply no reason for me to turn it down!
|
Lilia
Lilia
|
I do have expertise in creature care myself, so you may depend on me for this task. Kehehe, it seems that I'll be able to have fun afterwards.
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
I'm excited as well. I was just thinking about how I'd love to conduct extensive research on what the Tsum species is like!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
So I'll have the Tsum to care for on top of my homework and class prep? I'm not very confident, but I'd never be able to become an honours student if I quit at this stage.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I have little to no experience with the care of living beings that are not plants so I am nervous as well... However, I shall endeavour to fulfill this responsibility to the best of my ability.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Ohh... How unbelievable this chorus of eager agreement is! It touches me oh, so deeply. Oh, to be blessed with such sincere and good students!
Well then. I will be counting on all of you to take good care of the Tsums for the sake of the school's order!
