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—!
