Episode 2-10
I’m Sensing a Fair Amount of Bloodlust

Pomefiore Student A: Hah ha ha! Did you witness the strength of our Dorm Leader!?
Pomefiore Student B: Don’t you ever come here again!
Vil: ……Now then, what in the world happened here?
Epel: The guests started taking pictures even though it’s prohibited in the Mirror Chamber!
Even though the headmaster told us how important it was not to let them take pictures of the Mirror of Darkness……
Everyone told them to stop, but they didn’t listen at all!
Vil: I see…… It must have been hard on you all.
But why didn’t you immediately call for me, Chairman of the Halloween Organization Committee?
With the way things were going, it wouldn’t have been strange if a fight broke out between our students and the MagiCam Monsters.
Epel: That’s…… I’m sorry……
Pomefiore Student A: Dorm Leader! Please don’t be too hard on Felmier.
Pomefiore Student B: He fought desperately to protect you.
Vil: Me?
Rook: That’s right. Their number one target was…… you. Vil Schoenheit.
“If you go to the Mirror Chamber at Night Raven College, you can take a picture with the supermodel, Vil!”
……It seems that information is circulating on MagiCam.
They were waiting in the Mirror Chamber to take the perfect shot of you when you arrived.
And, as what happened a moment ago, take candid photos to upload.
Vil: They’re no better than the paparazzi……
Pomefiore Student A: Felmier did his best to stop them without calling you for help.
Pomefiore Student B: We were also inspired by his courage and fought!
Vil: ……I see.
Thanks to Epel and you all, I didn’t have unwanted photos of myself uploaded to MagiCam.
You saved me. Thank you.
Epel: I- It was nothing……
Rook: Yes, indeed. Epel was a true hero!
The guests were struck by Epel’s loveliness when he warned them.
They said, “A boy as beautiful as you only comes around once in a lifetime— you’re sure to go viral on MagiCam,” and pointed their smartphones towards him as though they were blades, but……
“What the hell’re you thinkin’!?!? I’ll knock yer block off!”
……Epel responded fiercely as he leapt upon the guests.
His might was such that for a moment they stopped, their morale wavering. How spirited he was! Très bien!
Vil: ……
Epel: You didn’t have to tell him everything, Rook……!
Vil: I’ll be sure to to correct your foul mouth and attitude later…… I understand the reason for the commotion now.
The MagiCam Monsters were made aware of the “Caution: No Photography” signs, no?
Pomefiore Student A: They were. But they just said, “It’s not like it’s a big deal,” in response.
Vil: If they knew the rules, they can’t complain if they were kicked out after breaking them.
That’s a justifiable reason. Stealthily get rid of any annoying MagiCam Monsters using that as pretext.
Pomefiore Student A: Understood! We’ll teach them a lesson!
Pomefiore Student B: Even though we warned them, they were flippant and didn’t pay us any mind…… They’re exceedingly rude people.
Pomefiore Student C: They are completely unworthy to step foot in our beautiful Mirror Chamber. It’s only natural for a monster to be slain!
Rook: To protect our precious Mirror Chamber and our beloved Pomefiore…… At the very least, I’ll make their deaths painless!
Vil: You heard me say, "stealthily," correct? Don’t harm them.
Rook: Oui! But of course.
Vil: ……I wonder if you actually understand. Despite what you say, I’m sensing a fair amount of bloodlust in the air.
Pomefiore, who values elegance and beauty, are the natural enemies of those boorish MagiCam Monsters……
Epel. We will watch over them together so that no more incidents occur.
Epel: Yes, sir……!
 
Episode 2-11
Conflict is Inevitable

-Main Street-

Idia: Man…… The way those guests from before acted was really terrible.
MagiCam Monsters, huh. They’re the worst type of happy-go-lucky characters who think that just because they’re having fun, everyone around them must be having a good time too.
I definitely don’t wanna encounter them…… Now matter how you think about it, if we meet, conflict is inevitable.
I’ll have to set up preventative measures for if a MagiCam Monster shows up at our dorm’s venue.
I wonder if it’s good enough to have Ortho deal with them since he’s way better at talking to people than me……

Clank......

-Library - Entrance Hall-

Ortho: Magical Energy Loading Protocol initiated.
Ignihyde Student A: Stop, Ortho! You don’t have to go this far!
Ignihyde Student B: Guh, it’s no use. He’s steadily gathering energy into his Magic Cannon! 
Ignihyde Student C: At this rate, we’ll also be caught in the blast……!
Ortho: After loading is completed, fire beam at maximum output.
Targets to eliminate set to, “Halloween Week participants.”
Idia: What the hell———!?
“Eliminate”!? Did I hear yo say “beam”!? 
Ignihyde Student A: Ah, you came, Dorm Leader!
Ignihyde Student B: Ortho is about to shoot a magic beam! No matter what I say, I get no reaction from him……
Ignihyde Student C: To the guests standing over there! It’s dangerous here, so please evacuate quickly!
Woman C: How cute~! That kid is wearing a robot costume.
Man B: He really is. He looks like one of those guys at the entrance to a high-tech phone shop that invites you in.
Man A: What a super unique costume~! Can I snap a pic?
Idia: Even though they’re being targeted by a beam attack, have absolutely zero desire to escape! Is their crisis management ability nonexistent or something!?
Ortho: Charging 30% completed…… 40% completed……
Idia: I- I have to input the cancel command…… Ah! I can’t type with this armor in the way!
Ignihyde Student A: Why didn’t you program him with voice authentication~!? I hope you can update him fast!
Idia: Roger that! B- But for now, just focus on getting the guests out before the beam fires!
Episode 2-12
It Was Nothing

-Library - Entrance Hall-

Idia: ……All the guests got away, right?
I was able to stop Ortho and prevent the beam from firing, but……
Ortho: Big Brother, why did you let them get away?
I was about to finish off the bad guys!
Idia: Don’t “finish off” anyone!
You’re so upset, Ortho…… What happened?
Ortho: Look at this!
Idia: This is…… a library book?
Uwah, it’s all wet and sticky!
It smells sweet…… Is it covered in juice?
Ortho: Those guests were drinking juice and eating sweets in the library. 
I told them to please go outside if they require nutrient replenishment, but they didn’t listen to me……
In fact, they squealed, “That robot costume is so cute~!” and started crowding around me to poke and prod at me!
Idia: Huh!? They poked and prodded you!? W- What rude people!
Ortho: They asked questions like, “Are you a local kid?” and “Do you like waffles?” and tried to force food into my oral cavity……
Even though if foreign matter gets in, it may cause me to malfunction.
I accidentally knocked over a can of juice while I was struggling against them, telling them to stop……
……I’m sorry for dirtying a precious library book.
Idia: S- So that’s what happened.
Not listening to warnings and eating and drinking in the library are certainly unforgivable offenses.
But trying to fire a beam at normal people…… Isn’t that even more unforgivable in this world……?
Ignihyde Student A: Dorm Leader! They occupied one of the library’s tables and chatted very loudly.
The guests who were looking forward to the projection mapping were very annoyed! 
Ignihyde Student B: Yes. They’re completely lacking in common sense to eat, drink, and talk loudly in a library. It’s perfectly natural that Ortho got angry!
Also……
Idia: Also?
Ignihyde Student C: “Wow. As expected of the prestigious Night Raven College. Everyone here is ultra smart! Amazing!
“Hey, hey, Mister. Teach us something good.”
“......Shh! He’s saying something. Everyone pay attention to this person.”
……And got me involved like that.
Idia: Th- That’s awful~~~~~~~!
That’s the kind of extrovert I hate the most! Just leave people who like being alone, alone!
Ignihyde Student B: No matter how hard I tried to escape it was always, “Did you say something just now?” and, “Tell me more about Night Raven College.”
They even chased me around asking, “Are you on MagiCam? Let’s exchange IDs,” and “We’re already buddies now, right?”
Ignihyde Student A: Ortho tried to eliminate the MagiCam Monsters because they were forcing us to engage with them.
Ignihyde Student B: “I will not forgive you if you continue to interfere with our precious Halloween,” he told them and even made a “beep” sound beforehand.
Ignihyde Student C: Ortho was just trying to fulfill his duty and protect his dorm-mates.
Idia: So……
So that’s the whole story~~~~!
Ortho, you really are a good kid. Thank you for doing your best for everyone’s sake.
Ortho: No, it was nothing. Because……
This was all for the sake of having a fun Halloween with everyone!
Idia & Ignihyde Students: Ortho......!
Ortho: It took a lot of time to charge it completely……
Next time, I’ll keep a full charge of magical energy so I can shoot my beam immediately!
Idia & Ignihyde Students: That’s going too far!
Idia: I- I don’t know what kind of punishment Ortho and I will receive if he fires a beam at our guests.
I have to find the MagiCam Monsters faster than Ortho and sneak them out!
 
Episode 2-13
Stand Down, You Two

-Main Street-

Malleus: So there are people who would desecrate Night Raven College — a place where magi congregate — all for the sake of a mere photograph.
Why would those guests go so far in their obsession to take photographs where they appear to be having fun?
Lilia: Well, let’s see. This is a problem regarding one’s individual values, unrelated to species or anything like that.
It’s never good to cause problems for others, but someone cherishing something isn’t to be blamed in of itself.
However, what we want to cherish is different from what MagiCam Monsters want to cherish.
And so we come into conflict.
Malleus: Hmm. What we want to cherish……?
Lilia: What we attach importance to is just too different than what MagiCam Monsters find important.
Maybe our Halloween venue is experiencing their own share of problems, too.
Come, let’s hurry over there.

-Ramshackle Dorm-

Sebek: Insolent humans!!!!!
Those who dishonor Diasomnia, and by extension, those who dishonor Lord Malleus…...
I can no longer tolerate your behavior!!!!!!!!
Man A: What a loud voice~. The air feels like it’s trembling.
Man B: Mister, your pose and, like, whole deal is really cool, but you’re also, like, super funny. You’re sure to go viral.
Man C: I’m gonna take a pic~! After that, lemme take a video of you, too.

Snap!

Sebek: You ingrates!!!! I’m telling you to put your smartphones away!!!!!!
Lilia: What do we have here? I wonder what happened to cause this mess?
Malleus: Sebek…… Your hotbloodedness is quite like your grandfather’s, isn’t it?
Sebek: Indeed. Y- Young Master! And Lord Lilia is here, too.
Silver: I apologize for such a shameful display.
I’ve told him many times that yelling won’t solve anything......
Sebek: Silver, you’re just too soft!
I will drive them away posthaste. Please, wait just a moment!
Malleus: It’s fine. Stand down, you two.
......You, tourists over there.
Men: Hm?
Man A: N- N- No way…… Could that be…… the Malleus Draconia, from the Valley of Thorns!?
Man B: I- Incredible. I saw it on a Magift broadcast! He really does go to Night Raven College!
Sebek: Heh. As expected, even ignorant humans know Lord Malleus’s name.
Malleus: Let’s have a little chat, shall we?
……Do you know the phrase, “When in town, do as the locals do?”
Whatever your opinions, whatever you like, that is not evil in itself. I will not blame you for those.
However, once you set foot inside of this campus, you should follow its rules.
Observe the rules, even if they’re a bit inconvenient or easy to break. Isn’t that the polite thing to do?
Sebek: Indeed. What exalted words……! They would sway anyone's heart!
Silver: I agree. Lord Malleus addressed them personally, and his words were courteous as well.
I’m sure the guests will agree with his words.
Sebek: ……Hm?
Aren’t the humans acting strangely?
Man A: (............*whisper whisper*......)
Man B & C: (*whisper*............ *whisper whisper*.............)
Men: *stare*............
Malleus: What is it that makes you stare at me so?
Is seeing one of the fae such a rare occurrence to you?
Man A: .........U~~~~~~~~~weh!

Smack!

Silver & Sebek: Wha—!?
Silver: Wh- What just……
To think that there was a human alive…………
………That would touch Malleus’s arm so familiarly!

Malleus: ……
Silver: It seems Lord Malleus also can’t believe it……
Sebek: ……! …………!? …………!!
Silver: Sebek can’t even speak.
……Did those humans intend to harm Lord Malleus?
Lilia: Those people wouldn’t even be able to scratch Malleus. I’m not worried about that, but rather……
……Just what on earth could they have possibly been thinking?
Man A: WOOHOO! The “Draconia Challenge” was a success~~~!
Malleus, Silver, Lilia: “Draconia Challenge”?
Man B: It’s when you startle the Malleus Draconia who’s supposed to have, like, super strong magic power!
It’s legendary, and you’re also supposed to snap a pic of when you touch him.
Malleus: “Also”……?
Man A: I’m still shaking bro! This is a game of chicken no one’ll be able to do. We’ll name it the “Draconia Challenge!”
This is totally gonna go viral!
Malleus: “A game of chicken”……?
Man B: Eek~~ My heart’s pounding just by having him look at us~~! My hands are totally soaked with sweat.
Man C: Too cool~! I wonder if the pic came out good.
Man A: I’m making this pic into a family heirloom! Malleus, I owe ya one, bro!
Malleus: ……I see.
What the lot of you value has been made very apparent to me. It seems you prize a moment of thrill more than your own lives’, no?
Very well. If that’s the case, then……

*thunder booms*

Malleus: I’LL GIVE YOU THE THRILL OF A LIFETIME!!!
Lilia: Oh, this is bad…… This is really really bad!
Malleus, your way of chastising is too severe for a Child of Man!
Sebek: Lord Malleus. So you will deal a blow to those humans with that raging thundercloud!
Then I, as your loyal servant, will aid you with the best of my meager abilities!!!!
Silver: Sebek! Wait!
……Sebek can’t hear me through his anger.
Lilia: If we don’t do anything, they’ll injure the humans.
Silver. We’ll use our magic to get those MagiCam Monsters away before Malleus’s lightning hits them!
Silver: Right!
