Episode 2-14
Are You Satisfied With Standing By!?

-Ramshackle Dorm-

Lilia: *sigh* It seems we were able to get rid of the humans.
Malleus: Let go of me, Lilia. …...They’re nothing more than kindling to burn!!
Lilia: Now, Malleus, calm down. Anger is clouding your judgment. 
Malleus: You’re telling me to calm down?
They ignored my advice and treated us rudely until the end…… Yet you would have me forgive them?
Silver: ……To put it plainly, you feel that you’re being treated unjustly.
Lilia: MagiCam Monsters are those that want to take pictures of unusual, beautiful, or valuable things.
Nevertheless……
I didn’t think there would be one that would be so rash as to photograph “Malleus Draconia, Prince of the Valley of Thorns.”
Sebek: Lord Lilia. There is no need for you to go out of your way to defend humans such as them!
Diasomnia Student A: That’s right! It’s exactly like Zigvolt says.
Diasomnia Student B: Not only did the act rudely toward our Dorm Leader, they ignored our warnings and did as they pleased……
Diasomnia Student C: We need to teach those rude people what happens when you make light of Diasomnia!
Lilia: Oh my. Everyone is riled up.
Silver. What happened before Malleus and I got here?
Silver: ……They tried getting into Ramshackle Dorm.
Lilia: What? Inside the dorm? Why would they care about that?
We used the garden for our decorations, but inside is just where Yuu and company lives.
It would be a bother to them to enter without permission. Did the MagiCam Monsters know that?
Silver: I had the same thought, so I put up a sign reading, “Private Residence - Entry Prohibited,” but……
They said, “There’s no way anyone lives in that run-down old mansion,” and ignored it.
On the contrary, they……
???: Fuwah~~~~~~~~~!
Silver: Oh, looks like it's not over yet……
Lilia: That scream…… it came from inside Ramshackle Dormitory?
Grim: What are you doing in my dorm~~~~~~~~~~~!?
Ghost A: Eeek~~~~! I should’ve never uploaded that picture~~~~~~!!
Ghost B: Even ghosts need privacy~~~~~~!
Man A: Hold on~~~!Just lemme get a pic of you~~~!!

*sounds of people running around*……

Grim: Oi, Yuu, catch them and kick ‘em out! ……Why do you trip at the most important times!?
Grrrrrrr…… Get out of my dorm~~~~!
Silver: ……Currently, on MagiCam, Ramshackle Dormitory is a famous ghost hunting spot.
“It’s totally meaningless to visit Night Raven College without taking a picture of the ghosts” is what I heard constantly from the guests……
We drove them away again and again, but there’s no end to them.
Lilia: They’re beyond rude to try and break into someone else’s home.
I’m surprised at the variety of humans out there!
Malleus: ……
Lilia: ……Hm? Why the long face, Malleus? Is something wrong?
Malleus: ……The one who chose Ramshackle Dormitory as Diasomnia’s stamp rally venue was me.
Therefore, this uproar is my responsibility.
I hoped that person could enjoy Halloween……
But instead I’ve involved them in this turmoil.
Lilia: Malleus......
Sebek: For making Lord Malleus sad…… I will never forgive those MagiCam Monsters!
Everyone! Are you satisfied with standing by as our leader is insulted like this!?
Diasomnia Student A: No, sir! It is unforgivable, sir! We will protect the honor of our Dorm Leader, sir!
Diasomnia Student B: At this rate, Diasomnia…… No, all of Night Raven College will be disgraced!
Sebek: Purge the MagiCam Monsters!
Diasomnia Students: Purge them!!
Malleus: I don’t recall telling any of you to go that far……
Silver: We won’t be able to get them under control like this.
Lilia: I see this has become no laughing matter.
 
Episode 3-1
Nothing but a Lie!

—Halloween Week: Day 6

-Lecture Hall-

Crowley: Good morning everyone......
We will now commence…… the Organization Committee meeting regarding Halloween Week.
Jade: He’s rather dispirited compared to how lively he was just two days ago.
Vil: It isn’t just the Headmaster. Getting rid of MagiCam Monsters morning, noon, and night……

*all of the Halloween Organization Committee looks depressed*

Vil: All the Organization Committee members are exhausted.
Kalim: ......Oh. You said all of us, but isn’t Malleus missing?
Lilia: Sorry, he’ll be absent from today’s meeting.
If he loses his patience again, he won’t be able to guarantee the MagiCam Monsters’ safety. 
He’s probably aware of it since he said he wanted to be alone to cool his anger.
Kalim: Even though it’s Halloween, he’s by himself…… how lonely.
Cater & Vil: ......
Crowley: As everyone is well aware, trouble is happening up all over campus, one after another......
This morning I received a complaint from a student…...
Deuce: A complaint?

*door creaks open*

Grim: Listen up, all of you~~~!
Jack: It’s Yuu and Grim.
Epel: Wh- What are those two doing here?
Grim: Because of Halloween, we’ve been chased all over our dorm! 


> I can’t sleep peacefully at night.> My stomach hurts from stress.
Grim: Yeah! Look, you can see how bloodshot my eyes are.Grim: Me too! My beautiful fur is all messed up from the stress.
 

Grim: You guys said that Halloween was a good time…… I was really looking forward to it…… 
But it’s not good at all! Telling us that Halloween is fun was nothing but a lie!
Organization Committee Members: ......
Lilia: …...I have indeed wronged you. Please allow me to apologize.
Vil: Lilia, you don’t have to apologize.
We, as the Halloween Organization Committee, simply devoted ourselves for this school function.
It isn’t wrong to work hard to please our guests and students at this school.
Jade: Indeed. At first, everyone was overjoyed as the number of Halloween guests increased. 
The increase in guests is the result of everyone’s diligent efforts.
......For better or worse, as luck may have it.
Grim: Grrrrr......
Cater: “Have you gone yet? The best spot for Halloween is definitely Night Raven College!”
“Don’t miss out! Seeing Night Raven College’s Halloween Week is an absolute must!”
......There are a lot of articles like that on MagiCam, and Night Raven College is a hot topic.
I’ve even heard people say, “You can’t talk about Halloween if you haven’t been to Night Raven College!”
There are two days left including today. The number of guests aiming to see our Halloween will only continue to increase.
Azul: And the MagiCam Monsters will also come one after another.
Epel: Just yesterday was hard to deal with, and you’re saying it’ll get worse......!?
Idia: This sucks…...
Jack: The 31st can’t come fast enough.
Vil: ......We don’t have the leisure to whine.
We have to take countermeasures against the MagiCam Monsters so that tomorrow’s party will go off without a hitch……

*door creaks open again*

Ghosts: We’ve got trouble~~!
Crowley: ......
Organization Committee Members: ......
Crowley: I’m sensing a pattern here. This can only mean something bad......
......Ahem! Ramshackle ghosts. What happened?
Ghost A: Th…… The Great……
There’s a problem with the statues of the Great Seven!
Organization Committee Members: Eh!?
Crowley: Th- The Great Seven!?
Everyone, this meeting is temporarily suspended! Let’s head to Main Street as quickly as possible.
Episode 3-2
How I Wish This Were a Dream

Vil: H- How could this be……
Cater: This has to be a dream, right?
Jade: This is beyond belief.
Crowley: Th- The statues of the Great Seven……

-Main Street-

Crowley: The Great Seven! They’ve all been toppled over!!
Wh- Who would ever do something so reprehensible to the statues of the Great Seven!?
Ghost A: They were already on the ground when we found them this morning……
Jack: So we have no idea who the culprit could be!?
Cater: ……
……Alright, got ‘em♪
Crowley: Huh?
Cater: Take a look at this post on MagiCam.
“Our Great Seven☆ #Aesthetic #LookingSharp! #IWentToNRC #HappyHalloween”
Crowley: Wh- Wh…… What is this!?
A person is standing in place of the statue!
Cater: I wonder if they removed the statues to “become” the Great Seven?
Their cheap imitation of the pose is the sincerest form of flattery~
Deuce: Diamond-senpai, you were able to find the culprit so quickly.
Cater: I just searched “Great Seven” and “Halloween” on MagiCam and it came up immediately.
Judging by the background and post time, it looks like they snuck into the school last night.
Lilia: Notifying the world of their own transgressions without shame……
They really don’t think what they’re doing is bad.
Crowley: How…………
How very…… incredibly sorrowful this is……
In all my time as Headmaster of this school…… Never once has something like this happened until now……!
I never thought I’d see a day where the statue of the Beautiful Queen is lying on the ground.
Oh, how I wish this were a dream.
Vil: ……
……I knew the story of the Beautiful Queen before I could even read.
My dad would read me a picture book that detailed all the Beautiful Queen’s great achievements.
I’ve made it this far, driven by the Queen’s unrelenting efforts.
This disrespect toward her…… Argh, I can’t even speak anymore!
Kalim: I also wanted to be like the Sorcerer of the Desert— a wise person who could give advice to others……
I do my best every day because I want to become a reliable person like him!
Idia: Are there any students at this school who don’t aspire to be like the Great Seven? There aren’t, are there?
They ruined the statues and ran away…… I can’t even find the words to complain about this.
Azul: If only they had even a drop of the Sea Witch’s compassion. This is completely unforgivable.
Grim: Everyone’s in a complete state of shock.
They even said everyone at this school wants to be as cool as the Great Seven……
Organization Committee Members: ……

*others come running up*

Trein: How is this possible……
Ace: No way!? Thought the world would go up in flames before I saw all the statues toppled over!
Grim: Oh. The professors and other students are here now too.
Trein: Toppling the statues of those great figures…… It’s the same as smearing our academy’s face with mud!
Crewel: Where the hell is the stray dog that dared topple the precious statues of the Great Seven!?
Vargas: Toppling a stone statue requires a considerable amount of muscle…… We have to find those dangerous criminals quickly!
Ace: That’s right! We’ve gotta find the culprit!
Sebek: Let’s teach them exactly what awaits those who look down on Night Raven College!

*everyone is talking over each other*

Ghost A: The culprit……
 
Episode 3-3
I Think You’re Definitely Wrong

-Main Street-

Ghost A: The culprit of all this strife……
Ghosts: …………Is us.
Trein: ……What did you say just now?
Ghost A: If we hadn’t uploaded that picture to MagiCam in the first place……
No one would’ve come and bothered everyone, and the statues of the Great Seven wouldn’t be toppled over like this.
Ghost B: ……Actually, with Yuu and Grimmy-boy around, the number of friends we had at Ramshackle Dorm increased……
We thought that this year’s Halloween could be even more fun than usual.
Deuce: So that’s why you went all-out and made Halloween costumes for Yuu and Grim……
Ace: So you just wanted to enjoy Halloween with all your friends from Ramshackle Dorm?
Ghost C: Yes. That’s what we intended, but……
Grim: You guys......
Ghost C: We were fools and ended up ruining it for ourselves!
Ghost B: We never should’ve gone on MagiCam!
Ghost A: We are the culprits that ruined Halloween. It’s all our fault.
Ghosts: Everyone…… We’re truly sorry.
Students: Ghosts……
???: Hold on.
Cater: I think you’re definitely wrong.
Students & Ghosts: Eh?
Trey: (What’s up, Cater? It’s unusual for you to go against the flow like this.)
Cater: (Well, I don’t wanna say I’m doing this because I can't read the mood, but……)
(I’m saying it because everyone looks so gloomy.)
The ghosts just posted a picture to MagiCam. What’s wrong with that?
We do the same thing— me, and everyone else who likes using MagiCam. 
Trey: ……Yeah. You’re right.
Ace: Yeah, I also upload pics of weird stuff to MagiCam.
Cater: Right? You said before that you, “should’ve never gone on MagiCam,” but……
There are many people who are happy because of the ghosts’ MagiCam post.
Here, have a look.
Ghost A: Your phone? …...And you have MagiCam open?
Cater: “Halloween at Night Raven College is so fun!”
“I’m glad I got to see a lot of ghosts. Even if I can’t see them, I’m sure they’ve come back home to my family.”
“The Sage’s Island is far, but it’s a really nice place! I want to go again next year.”
……See? The people in these photos are all smiling so nicely! And this is all thanks to you ghosts♪
Ghost B: ……!
Cater: Some people enjoy Halloween quietly, while others want to take rare pics.
Every person has their own way of thinking. Isn’t it impossible, realistically speaking, to think that you can understand everyone?
If a lot of people gather together, the number of people you can’t understand will also increase. It’s the same for everyone, no matter what.
So I don’t think this trouble is due to MagiCam or the ghosts.
Ghosts: *sniffle*…… *sob*……
Thank you~~~!!!

*whooosh*

Ghost A: Awww. I wanted to give you a hug, but I went right through~~.
Cater: I- I’m good with just your thanks.
Vil: ......Certainly, this isn’t a situation where we can name a criminal.
Jade: Additionally, we only have a picture of someone climbing the statue’s pedestal— there’s no decisive evidence that proves they toppled the statues.
We can’t place blame on the MagiCam Monsters.
Riddle: However, it’s difficult to face Halloween day with such unpleasant feelings toward them……
Leona: Tch. I’m not convinced. 
Jamil: I can’t forgive the MagiCam Monsters either. And yet I’ll have to put up with them for the party……
Grim: Everyone seems troubled.
Crowley: ......
Teachers: ......
Grim: Huh? The Headmaster and teachers are all looking at each other.
Teachers: ......
Crowley: The party that was scheduled for tomorrow, October 31st……
It may have to be canceled.
Ace, Deuce, Grim: WHAT~~~~~~~~!?
