I Can’t Deal with the Noise......

—The Next Day
Halloween Week Day 2

-Beside Mister S’s Mystery Shop-

Leona & Ruggie: This……

*crowd chattering*

Man A: Have you gotten all seven stamps yet?
Woman B: Not yet! I wanted to see the “Mystery Shop” first.
Woman C: Everywhere here is a lot of fun, but…… You can’t miss out on the Mystery Shop where you can buy souvenirs!

*crowd getting noisier*

Leona: What’s with this crowd?
Ruggie: There’s a throng of people all around the shop.
None of them are wearing uniforms…… I guess they’re Halloween Week guests.
Still, I feel like there’s way too many of ‘em……
Kalim: Oh, if it isn’t Leona and Ruggie. Happy Halloween!
Ruggie: Happy Halloween, Kalim.
Leona: Come to think of it, the shop was Scarabia’s stamp rally venue, huh.
Kalim: Yeah! I’m the one in charge of stamping this afternoon. I’ll be replacing the guy who worked the morning shift in just a bit.
Are you guys shopping together? You two must get along well~.
Leona: I don’t know about that.
Ruggie: Yeah, what he said. Whether it’s Leona’s shopping or wherever else, I’m always the one running errands, but……
“You wanna buy some grub for all the Savanaclaw guys busting their tails over Halloween Week?”
……That’s what Leona said today!
Leona: ……
Ruggie: Because he was gonna leave it all to me, I dragged him out.
Leona: It's a real pain……
Ruggie: Can’t you just go out and buy that stuff yourself? If you sleep too much, you’ll turn into a cow.
Kalim: Getting them food is a great idea! Jack has been working really hard doing his part for the Organization Committee.
I’m sure he’d be over the moon if he’s rewarded by his Dorm Leader.
Leona: Well, it is the boss’s duty to maintain the motivation of the pride.
And they’ll work on the cheap for a couple free meals. It’s all a simple matter of survival.
Ruggie: Shishishi, blunt as ever.
……Well, I’m not above bumming a free meal when I can either.
Leona: But…… I don’t wanna get closer with this mob of meerkats making a racket.
Kalim: It looks like they’re all guests here for Halloween Week.
Ruggie: What, really!?
But looking at it, around the shop there are, let’s see……
……There’s no way I can count all of ‘em, but there’s gotta be over a hundred people!?
Leona: Last year, even during Halloween there wasn’t a line. What happened?
Kalim: Well, with the photo of the Ramshackle Dorm ghosts going viral on MagiCam……
It looks like Night Raven College’s Halloween festivities are trending on MagiCam, too.
I think they all came to check out the stuff they saw in the MagiCam pics.
Ruggie: Huh, so that’s it. So this is what it means to go viral.
Leona: I guess. Sucks, though……

*crowd chattering*

Man A: This is the “Mystery Shop’s Limited Edition Night Raven College Waffle.” I bought it without thinking.
Woman B: The raven on it is so cute! And it goes great with apple jam.
Man C: The inside of the shop was quite quaint, and……
The werewolf costumes are amazingly high quality!
Woman B: They are, they are! The way they’re both cool and cute, while also being a little bit scary is fantastic.
Man A: Oh, there’s someone in a costume over there.
Kalim: Hm? Me?
Man A: Um…… is it okay if I get a picture of you?
Kalim: Yeah, go ahead!
Oh, would you all like to be in the picture with me? I think that’d make a better memory to look back at later, yeah?
Man A: Wah, thank you so much!
Woman B: Okay, now pose!

Snap!

Woman B: I have a request…… Would it be okay if you did a werewolf-like pose for me?
Kalim: Gotcha! Like this?
Woman B: Wah~ How cool! I’ll do that pose too!

Snap! Snap!!
*crowd chattering*

Ruggie: Kalim is smack dab in the center of all the excitement in front of the shop. 
What a lively Halloween…… It somehow reminds me of back home.
Leona: I can’t deal with the noise……
Man C: Oh, there are werewolves over here, too!
Ruggie: Huh? Were there other Scarabia students here besides Kalim?
……?
……Wait, are you talking about me!?
Man C: That’s right. Please take a picture with me.
Ruggie: In the first place, I’m not a wolf, I’m a hyena! And secondly, this isn’t a costume.
Kalim: Now, now, no need to be so stiff, Ruggie. Aren’t they similar?
Let’s take a picture together!
Ruggie: They’re not similar at all!
Besides that, it totally goes against my principles to do volunteer work that pays 0 madols for some tourists…… Oh!
If you want something to post on MagiCam, there’s someone better suited for it than me~.
Shishishi. He’s well-built and intense and he’s rocking an impressive pedigree……
Where’d he go!? Leona left!?
Leona: Heh heh…… I’m happy for you, Ruggie, being so popular.
Ruggie: He got so far without me noticing…… That was a sneaky thing you did, leaving like that, Leona! 
Leona: I’ll buy what we need and go on ahead. You can chill here for as long as you’d like.
Ruggie: Hey, don’t make me your decoy just ‘cause you think it’s a pain to talk to people!
Leona: As if you didn’t just try to use me as bait. These are your just deserts.
See ya. Happy Halloween.
Kalim: This is a rare opportunity, so I also wanna take a picture with you, Ruggie. I’ll take a pic with my phone afterward.
Man A: Please do the pose like you’re roaring!
Woman B: Would it be okay to get a pic of you two outside of the shop?
Man C: Please let us take a picture with you next!
Ruggie: T- There’s no end to this……
Wait for me—! My free meal—!
 
Episode 1-19
Rather Than Resentful, He’s Envious

-Library - Entrance Hall-

Woman A: Hey, look, the mood-lighting is so beautiful…… The way the lights sway is whimsical— it’s so romantic.
Man B: I can hear a little bird tweeting. It really does feel like you’re relaxing in the woods.
Doesn’t the pumpkin vine that’s being projected on the bookshelf right now look like a heart?
Woman A: Oooh, where? …...It really does, how adorable~~!
Idia: ......
Romantic? Heart-shaped? Adorable?
What’s “romantic” or “adorable” about a foggy forest?
It’s just like the original “Pumpkin Hollow” movie— scary, no matter how you look at it!
And the shape of the vine just so happened to look like a heart, it wasn’t intentional......
In the first place it’s not “mood-lighting.” It’s projection mapping.
Man B: Wah! A jack o’ lantern jumped out.
Woman A: It’s so charming and cute~~~!
Idia: Again with the “cute!” No matter what these normies see, they always say the same things!!
If you like “cute” so much, don’t come to a gloomy library full of books......
Why don’t you just stay home, get all your favorite food together, and throw a stylish house party!
Jade: Idia, could it be that you resent those people?
Azul: Rather than resentful, he’s envious.
Idia: Hah? What could I possibly be jealous of?
All I’m saying is that it’s a waste to show these normies my ambitious projection mapping.
And when I finally appeared in my costume, those guys......
“Aw, a little pumpkin ghostie~~ How cute~~♡” ......that’s what they said!
Azul: I can’t deny your complaints altogether……
Idia: Right? This is an insult to “Pumpkin Hollow!”
If someone only heard rumors about our Halloween……
They’d think, “Wow, ‘Pumpkin Hollow’ is so adorable!”
Not because of my hard-hitting original work!!!
It’s better to stop projection mapping than commit such a mortal sin!
Jade & Azul: Mortal sin!?
Azul: I had a feeling something would happen due to the increase in people this Halloween……
Jade: We came to check just in case, and lo and behold.
Ortho: Azul Ashengrotto, Jade Leech.
Thank you for coming all this way just to check up on my brother’s situation! It seems you’ve come to help!
Azul: Of course!
Jade: Considering what Idia is saying…… what will you do, Ortho?
Ortho: Well. I haven’t told my brother, but......
(Actually, I don’t really like Halloween all that much.)
I want to make memories with Brother, but…… If I tell him that I don’t like it, he’ll think there’s no need to try too hard.
The stamp rally can be done without the projection mapping, so it won’t inconvenience anyone......
This year, my brother and I can enjoy Halloween holed up in our room.
Azul: Absolutely not!
Ortho & Idia: Huh?
Ortho: Um, Mr. Ashengrotto? Why did you suddenly clench your fist?
Azul: Please don’t say such sad things…… It’s the Halloween you’ve worked so hard for, after all.
And Jade and I both know just how hard you’ve worked as an Organization Committee member, Idia.
It would be such a shame to never play it again…… No, more than that it would break my heart.
Idia: You said it would be a waste just now, didn’t you?
Azul: I want all of the students at Night Raven College to enjoy Halloween.
You think the same way don’t you, Jade?
Jade: Indeed. It’s not possible to hold Halloween Week with Idia and Ortho left out.
Let’s all enjoy this Halloween with our many guests.
If we do, even Ortho is sure to grow to like Halloween more.
Idia: You two are definitely up to something……
……But it’s no use. To give a false preconceived notion to a work is a deed that disgraces all fans……
I absolutely will not continue this!
Azul: I see......
Then in other words, the extent of your passion for “Pumpkin Hollow” is small indeed.
Idia: ......Huh?
How did you come up with that interpretation from what I just said?
Azul: “Using both projection mapping plus a live-action show, I will show you the charm of ‘Pumpkin Hollow!’”
You made that claim in front of everyone before Halloween Week began.
To discontinue this means to give up promoting the movie.
Idia: B- But…… No matter what the guests see, all they end up saying is “cute”…...
Jade: From the start, isn’t the only way to combat disinterest in the movie good PR?
Idia: Ugh. You’re relentlessly revealing the reason for my failure…… The truth is too painful.
Azul: In other words, there’s still room for improvement in your projection mapping.
To stop and throw it all away……
All it means is that you don't love that movie enough!
Idia: HUH———!?
You’re saying that to me, when I’m a hardcore “Pumpkin Hollow” enthusiaist who owns the regular edition, limited edition, steelbook rerelease, director’s cut, and the entire line of toys!?
Now I know you’re taunting me!
Azul: Even so, it means nothing if you’re unable to convey that love.
Idia: But I can!? I can totally convey it!?
Don’t you dare look down on me!!
It’s so entertaining and scary that even normal people who don’t know the first thing about horror movies can understand…...
Didn’t I say I would make a Halloween filled with “Pumpkin Hollow’s” charm!?
Ortho, let’s modify the projection mapping data together with the rest of the dorm.
So far, I’ve been too caught up in portraying the most well-known scenes that I’ve neglected the story......
Let’s create a lead-in video that makes the horrifying existence of the Pumpkin Knight clear!
More than being faithful to the movie, more than being scary, what we must do is......
Revise it so that it’s a show that excites the viewers!
......Ah. We’ll also correct all the instances where the vines look like hearts.
And to capture the level of perfection of the final scene, I will also work hard and push myself to the absolute limit honing my acting skills!
Everyone, let’s all do our best!
Ortho: If that’s what Big Brother wants to do, of course I’ll help out!
Azul: Oh, what a relief. Let’s all enjoy Halloween together.
Ortho: Yeah! Thanks, you two.
Jade: If you are indeed so thankful......
......Then perhaps we might be able to put some samples at the entrance of the library?
Ortho: Huh, “samples?”
Oh, this you mean this pamphlet. Let’s see here……
“Enjoy your Halloween to the fullest! The best map for conquering Night Raven College’s Halloween events”......?
Azul: Right now, there are many guests who came from outside the island just for Halloween Week. 
Isn’t it difficult to go around such a large campus only relying on the stamp rally map?
Jade: And so, as soon as we saw just how many people there were on opening day......
We expedited the creation of a guidebook from our volunteer dorm students.
It’s 1200 madols for one sixteen-page book.
Ortho: B- But we’d be taking peoples’ money......
Azul: But it includes a two-page spread showcasing the projection mapping special feature Idia made.
I wonder what would happen if he had cancelled.
Jade: If we had to reprint, that entire segment would be a waste.
Jade & Azul: Thank goodness it didn’t come to that!
Ortho: I get it…… So that’s why you were so insistent in trying to get us to “continue Halloween”……
Idia: A two-page showcase? If it were me I would’ve made it a fold-out poster insert.
I’ll take responsibility for my dear friends, Azul and Jade, reigniting my passion as a craftsman. 
Go ahead and sell a lot of guidebooks and promote Ignihyde while doing it.
……And of course, advertise “Pumpkin Hollow!”
Azul: Of course, please leave it to us.
Customers will enjoy it all the more if you make the projection mapping even more entertaining.
Jade: Both the customers and us— everyone can be happy. This year’s Halloween really is so wonderful.
Idia, Jade, Azul: Happy Halloween!
Ortho: Um......
Happy Halloween! ......Was this really okay to do?
Episode 1-20
Please Enjoy Yourself

-Interior Hallway-

Trey: Isn’t it nice that we can take a break from Science Club activities during Halloween Week?
There won’t be a science contest for a while……
Rook: Non, non! Scientific curiosity waits for no one.
I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of surprises we’ll cook up today! Let us depart for the laboratory post haste.
Man A: Um……
Rook: Mm? Bonjour, Monsieur. What can we do for you?
Man A: Pardon me, but it seems I’m lost…… You two are students here at Night Raven College, right?
Can you tell me where the Mirror Chamber is?
Trey: Oh, you’re a Halloween Week guest?
Of course we can. We’ll guide you so please follow us.

-Mirror Chamber-

Trey: This is the Mirror Chamber.
Man A: Oh, what a relief. Thank you very much!
Rook: Everywhere in this academy radiates beauty, but…...
The Mirror Chamber’s solemn silence sinks into one’s very core upon stepping into it.
Indeed, ‘tis a hallowed place for all Night Raven College students, as it is where the shape of our souls are made known.
Please enjoy yourself while leisurely taking in the beauty of the Mirror Chamber!
Man A: Um, s- sure......
Trey: Rook, it looks like the guest is slowly backing away.
Rook: Oops. It seems I let my passion overtake me. My apologies.

*crowd chattering*

Rook: At any rate, it seems many guests have gathered here. Did they all come to see the Mirror Chamber?
Man A: Probably, yeah. I’m really looking forward to it too, since it’s trending on MagiCam right now!
Trey: It’s just like Cater said, “Halloween Week” became a huge trend on MagiCam.
......Wait. Isn’t it prohibited to take pictures in the Mirror Chamber?
Man A: It still is. That being the case, the only information being shared by “visitors in the know” is stuff like……
“You should absolutely go see it,” and, “I’m disappointed I couldn’t get a picture,” — it’s totally gaining a reputation.
Trey: I see. So that’s what’s going on.
Rook: I’m delighted. Dozens of people are enjoying our beloved academy right before our eyes.
And on top of that, the Mirror Chamber is the place Pomfiore chose as our stamp rally venue!
……Indeed, there is no mistaking how his eyes blazed with certainty when he chose this place.
Man A: “He”……?
???: Excuse me. I wonder if I could pass behind you for a second.
Man A: Oh, excuse me…… S- so dazzling!
Something is glittering— what in the world could it be…… Eh!?

*we get a pan of Vil*

Man A: V- Vil Schoenheit!?
Woman B: No way! You mean the famous model!?
Vil: Happy Halloween, everyone.
Are you enjoying Halloween at our school?
Crowd: Y- Yes!
Woman C: Come to think of it, Vil is a student at Night Raven College. I’m so lucky I got to meet him!
Man A: Um, I was wondering if I could take a photo with you…… Oh. Photography is prohibited in the Mirror Chamber, isn’t it.
Woman B: Yeah, but in the first place, you can’t take pictures of a supermodel like Vil for free.
Vil: You can.
Both: Eh!?
Vil: Photography is prohibited in the Mirror Chamber, but we can take pictures out in the hallway.
Let’s step out for the moment. …...It’s dark, so mind your feet.
Man A: Y- Y…… Yes……

-Interior Hallway-

Vil: Could I see your phone?
Man A: H- H- Here you go!
Vil: Thank you. …...Come now, you won’t be in the picture unless you get closer.

Snap!

Man A: V- V- Vil Schoenheit...... He opened the door for me— He held my phone in his hands......
He pulled me close and took two pictures of us! I won’t wash my shoulders for the rest of my life!
Woman B: He’s such a friendly person even though he’s a top model.
Rook: Ohhhh, everyone is weeping over Vil’s magnanimity! 
The Mirror Chamber, Vil, and everyone here, so deeply moved— they are all so beautiful…… What a wondrous sight.
Verily, Chevalier of Roses! Wouldn’t you agree!?
Woman B: Chevalier of Roses......? What an amazing title...... Who in the world could that be......?
Woman C: He’s wearing glasses and a hat…… Could that be one of Vil’s celebrity friends in disguise......?
Trey: It’s pointless to get the guests’ hopes up like that…… Also, Rook, I’m begging you, man. Stop calling me that.
Rook: Happy Halloween! Say it with me, Chevalier of Roses!
Trey: If you’re not gonna stop, I’m asking you to at least whisper when there are this many people around……!
Cater: Yahoo, Knight of Roses~♪ How are you holding up?
Trey: Well, Cater…… now I’m angry.
Cater: Hahaha, I was just joking. Anyway, I’m here to see what all the fuss was about.
Vil always says he hates being a big deal on MagiCam, so I came to check on the situation……
Things seem to be a-okay though.
Vil: I certainly do dislike how MagiCam turns my beauty into a fleeting topic for consumption.
However…… It would be rude to the people who came all this way if I didn’t show my sincerity.
They all spent their valuable time and money to come from outside the Sage’s Island.
My being a celebrity is completely unrelated to my efforts to meet their expectations.
This is because I am a student of Night Raven College…… No, it is because of my duty as Chairman of the Halloween Organization Committee!
I shall do my best so that those who came to see us return home satisfied!
Crowd: You…… You’re the best, Vil!!!
Man A: Today I became even more of a fan! I’ll buy three copies each of all the magazines you’ve been featured in!
Woman B: I’ll definitely go watch your next movie!
Woman C: I’ll buy all the products you’ve collaborated on!
Vil: Oh my, everyone...... thank you.
Trey: “Being a celebrity is completely unrelated,” huh?
……Isn’t he just promoting himself at this point?
Rook: Can everyone please form a line within the rope? Vil will do signings one-by-one!
Cater: Rook, why in the world were you carrying a rope around?

*crowd chattering*

Trey: The school is really packed with Halloween guests.
You must be happy to see it, as an Organization Committee member who’s been prepping this for a long time.
Cater: Yeah. Deuce and everyone else seems to be super happy too.
Trey: That’s good. Everyone was looking forward to Halloween, after all.
Happy Halloween.
Cater: Yeah, Happy Halloween to you too♪
(Even so……)
(I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is gonna happen.)
Episode 1-21
NRC is This Year’s Hottest Trend

-Lecture Hall-

Halloween Week Day 4

Crowley: Happy Halloween! Good morning everyone.
It seems it’s the hot topic on MagiCam! Yes, the cause of the flood of news coverage! A total social phenomenon, is none other than our own Night Raven College......
And I’m it’s Headmaster, Dire Crowley, coming at you live!
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, let’s have the Organization Committee meeting for the oh-so-popular Halloween Week commence~~~~!
Lilia: He’s totally carried away by the school becoming a trending topic.
Jack: Even though the headmaster didn’t do anything……
Crowley: What are you talking about? This Halloween was created by both teachers and students, arm in arm, hand in hand!
Now then, the fourth day of our fun Halloween Week will be beginning shortly. All the more reason to begin without delay.
Organization Committee Chairman, Schoenheit. Please conduct your interim report.
Vil: Yes, sir.
As I’m sure all of you already know, this year’s Halloween……
Compared to previous years, the number of guests is unmatched, in large part due to the attention the ghosts garnered on MagiCam.
According to the data collected by our treasurer, in the previous three days we have significantly exceeded last year’s total amount of visitors.
Jade: That is correct. Additionally……
The number of visitors on the second and third days increased by a factor of about 30% from the number of visitors on the preceding day. It’s been a great success.
Deuce: Er…… in other words……?
Cater: Basically, the number of guests is continuing to increase♪
The picture of the ghosts and Grim that first went viral now has 300,000 likes……
And as the number of guests increases, the number of photos of Halloween at Night Raven College is also increasing.
Other users who see them and think, “I want to go too!” come, and the number of guests increases again.
Rinse and repeat that process and the number of guests will increase exponentially.
Deuce: They came all the way out to a remote place like the Sage’s Island, just because of MagiCam……!?
Cater: If you look at it another way, isn’t it good that we’re in such a remote location?
Real MagiCam baddies wanna take pics of stuff no one else knows about and share it with the world♪
Vil: That’s right. Up until this year, only those who were already interested in Night Raven College visited.
……Oh, or the people who were interested in seeing me.
But this year is different. All the MagiCam users who want to farm “likes” are coming.
I’m sure this school will experience a liveliness the likes of which it’s never seen before.
Cater: Famous MagiCam baddies are also posting reviews about their visit one after the other……
It seriously feels like NRC is this year’s hottest trend♪
Kalim: When I was walking around campus in my costume, so many people asked to take my picture.
And everyone is always super happy when you take a picture together with them.
You don’t have to live on Sage’s Island to attend the party on the last day, right?
In that case, looks like a lot of people will be able to enjoy a flashy feast!
Malleus: Hm…… A lively Halloween isn’t bad every once in a while.
Vil: Oh my, how surprising. Here I was thinking you had no interest in the festivities.
Malleus: ……Have I ever said anything like that?
Lilia: Kufufu, even Malleus seems to be enjoying himself!
Crowley: Now then, everyone, continue to liven up Halloween Week, and……

Knock-knock!

Sam: Hey! Excuse my interruption, Headmaster.
Crowley: Oya, Sam, what is it? We’re in a meeting right now……
Sam: I know you're busy with work! But we’ve got a little “issue” to deal with right now.
I’d like for both the Headmaster and some of you little devils from the Organization Committee to come with me……
 
Episode 1-22
What is the Meaning of This!?

-Lecture Hall-

Sam: I’d like for both the Headmaster and some of you little devils from the Organization Committee to come with me……
Vil: Understood. Then, third-years with me.
It’s almost 10 am. General admission will start then. First and second-years should head to their respective stamp rally venues.
As I’ve reminded you all over and over again, please do not be rude to our guests.
Epel: Right! Please leave it to me.
Lilia: Anyway, what’s the problem?
Malleus: Being ordered around like this……
Vil: Since we’re members of the Organization Committee, it’s only natural for us to deal with any problems concerning this.
Cater: Yup. With an event as successful as this, we’d have to be prepared to handle one or two problems.
Crowley: No need to worry yourselves— I, as headmaster of this school, will calmly solve the problem.
Hahaha! Happy Halloween!!

-Main Street-

Crowley: W- What is the meaning of this!?
Trein: You there! Get off that apple tree this instant!
Man A: Okay, okay! I’ll come down as soon as I’m done.
Man B: We’re reaaaaally sorry~. He’s up there ‘cause he’s a super famous tree climbing master where we’re from!
......Well, that should be enough of a permit for us. Haha!
Vil: The Halloween guests are climbing an apple tree……
Malleus: Those standing below can’t seem to stop them.
Sam: This was the state we found them in.
Crowley: B- But why in the world would they want to climb the tree!?
Man B: It’s ‘cause right now my homie is taking a real aesthetic pic of the school! Look forward to it~ Fufu~!
Crowley: A picture?
Woman C: That’s right! I think it’d be super stylish to take a pic overlooking the Great Seven~!
Cater: I see. So it’s that sort of thing……
Crewel: The apple tree is the official tree of Night Raven College. You will cease treating it so roughly.
Vargas: It’s too reckless to climb a tree with such feeble brachial muscles and grip strength! You could fall at any moment!
Man A: Huh…… The mood got kinda really serious all of a sudden……
Crowd: ......
.............
That’s so like Night Raven College’s professors~~! Kyaa~~~~~!

*applause breaks out*

Trein: What……!? Why are they applauding?
Woman C: They’re soooooo considerate~! This is soooo amazing, I’m so touched. Maybe I’ll even, like, cry.
Man A: They’re worried about me and the apple tree!? Yo! I could learn from these teachers!
Man B: Right? They’re reallyyyy nice for teachers……
I’ll take a perfect pic of you guys and give y’all a perfect promo!
Trein, Crewel, Vargas: !?
Trein: Instead of that, how about you listen and get off the tree!
Man B: Oh, those words are totally gonna drive me to tears— It’s fine if I take a pic of you teachers to upload to MagiCam, right?

Snap!

Man B: “#NRCIsTheBest #ThanksToTheseKindTeachers #EvenApplesAreImportant♡ #BestHalloweenEVER” and posted!
Woman C: Teachers, you’re gonna get super popular~! Maybe you’ll even go viral!?
Oh, aren’t the people in costumes standing behind them also super aesthetic?
Man B: You’re totes right~! Maybe I can get all of them in the pic? I’ll post it, of course!

Snap!
*crowd getting rowdy*

Lilia: Everyone’s super tense. Even Trein, feared by delinquents everywhere, is recoiling from them.
Idia: These are…........................... the type of normies I absolutely never ever want to talk to me.
Trein: O- Our words aren’t getting through to them at all…… Are you aware that you’re causing trouble to others?
Never in my life have I seen such selfish people! A monster would be easier to talk to!
Cater: I see, so they’re “monsters,” huh? As expected of Professor Trein, who teaches liberal arts. It’s a good analogy!
But because these are people who only think about uploading fun pics to MagiCam……
They’re gonna make a hashtag like “#MagiCamMonster”.
Vil: Oh, that’s a pretty good hashtag, Cater.
Crewel: What is a “#MagiCamMonster”?
Far from mutts, all I see are hungry strays who can only think about the food in front of them.
I’ll teach them some manners.

Episode 1-23
Easier Than Spinning Thread

-Main Street-

Trein: Wait, Professor Crewel. What are you doing with your teaching pointer raised like that?
Crewel: Isn’t it obvious? I’m going to teach them some common sense.
Trein: You’re going to cast magic on civilians!?
Crewel: No need to worry, I’m not going to hurt them.
Trein: That isn’t what I meant.
What would the rest of the world say if word gets out that a magus attacked civilians with magic?
Crewel: If we don’t use it at times like these, then what’s the point of having magic?
It’s also for their own safety!
Trein: Even if it is for their safety, how are you going to explain yourself if you strike first?
Crewel: ......Don’t you think it’s a teacher’s duty to teach the youth?
Trein: I think that we should only teach our students— Night Raven College’s students.
In any case, please cease your reckless behavior that endangers our academy’s good name.
Crewel: (Tch. Professor Trein really is obstinate……) 
Trein: Did you say something just now?
Crewel: Me? No, I didn’t say anything.
Vargas: Hrrrm. Professor Trein and Professor Crewel always have conflicting opinions.
Sam: The veteran teacher and conservative Professor Trein vs. the young and hot-blooded Professor Crewel……
It’s inevitable for a battle to break out.
Vargas: I think both of them are good teachers, but…… They’re both overlooking something important!
Sam: And what’s that?
Vargas: The important thing is…… muscles! This is a situation where we should let our muscles do the talking!
Trein, Crewel, Sam: ......
Vil: It seems the professors are having trouble dealing with this too. 
What should we do, Headmaster?
Crowley (while Crewel & Trein are arguing behind him): Um……
Crowley (while Sam & Vargas are arguing behind him): W- Wellllllllll……
Crowley: Professors, calm yourselves! And…… you all climbing the tree as well!
Get off at once! Or else……
Crowd: Or else?
Crowley: ……This academy’s security system will recognize you all as “dangerous persons” and kick you out of the school!
Crewel: Security system……?
Trein: We have that sort of thing?
Crowley: We do!!
Seeing the Halloween crowds, I had it installed yesterday just in case something like this might happen!
The security system will activate as soon as it detects an excessively dangerous act. My safety measures are perfect!!
Man A: The security for Night Raven College must be serious~!
Man B: Their security’s gotta be first-class~!
Woman C: Then it’s fine to do whatever ‘til we’re kicked out, right? Let’s see what else we can get away with!
Crowley: ......Ah. Organization Committee, we need to have a liiiiitle meeting, please come over.
Vil: A meeting? Why? If we leave it be, the security system will take care of the dangerous people.
And the sooner the problem is solved, the sooner we can get back to the Halloween venues.
Crowley: (As if a convenient security system like that really exists!)
Organization Committee Members: What!?
Crowley: (Shh! If you speak that loudly, everyone else will hear!)
(……I couldn’t have predicted this situation. That was all a bluff I said without thinking.)
Idia: (So how are we gonna get rid of these normies?)
Lilia: (Kufufu…… I thought as much.)
Crowley: (At this rate, they’ll only become even more of a bother.)
(While I’m distracting Professor Trein and the MagiCam Monsters……)
Use magic to remove those annoying guests from the school, but don’t get caught!
Cater: Whaaaaat~! You’re allowing us to do that~!?
Malleus: You should’ve said so sooner. 
It’s fine if I just blow them away, right? It’ll be easier than spinning thread.

*fsssssshhhhh*……

Crowley: Wait, Draconia! Don’t get serious. If you get serious, there won’t be an academy anymore!
That goes for everyone else, too! Don’t injure our guests.
Whether the cause is falling out of a tree or magic, if they get injured, the school will be held liable. 
Please do something that makes them feel cool, like using floating magic to fly them right back through the front gate, so they won’t care.
Malleus: Hmph……
Understood. I’ll make an effort.

*battle*

This isn’t Something I Can Deal with Myself

-Main Street-

Man A: Cool—! There really is a security system!
Man B: It’s been fun! Thanks—!
Woman C: We’ll come back again sometime—!
Trein, Crewel, Vargas: Don’t come back!!!
Vil: (It must have been quite difficult to use magic while being careful not to hurt the civilians.)
Malleus: (But did this solve the problem?)
???: W- We’ve got trouble————!!!
Crowley: Eh!? What is it this time!?
Deuce: *pant*...... *pant*......
The...... The stamp rally venue…...
Jack: There’s something terrible happened at the stamp rally venue!!
Trein: Something terrible? It seems there’s more trouble coming.
Jack: I’m ashamed, but this isn’t something I can deal with myself. Please send help!
Deuce: Diamond-senpai, please come quickly! It’s about to burst!
Crowley: There’s in a state of complete panic…… This isn’t just anything.
Organization Committee members, please return to your stations and assess the situation!
Professors, divide yourselves among them and check on the state of affairs. I’m counting on you.
Students: Yes, sir!
Professors: Yes, sir.
