Episode 1-6

He’s Crying Tears of Joy!!

-At Ramshackle Dorm-

Silver: We’ve been expecting you. Please wait just a moment while Lord Malleus and Lilia are preparing their costumes.

Sebek: Hah hah hah! You’ve done well to come, humans!

To come to praise Diasomnia’s Halloween, overseen by Lord Malleus, indicates good sense!

Epel: Sebek…… is as energetic as ever.

Vil: I wonder if Malleus can’t teach this cucumber some manners. 

Silver: My apologies. It seems that during Halloween, he’s in higher spirits than usual.

Sebek: I am not in high spirits. I am simply stating the truth!

Should you behold the appearance of Lord Malleus and Lord Lilia who will be before us shortly, you will understand why I boast so!

Malleus: Sebek, don’t trouble our guests too much. After all, being told the obvious is bothersome, no?

Sebek: Yes, Young Master. Are you dressed?

......Ahem. Everyone, feast your eyes!

This is what our Dormitory Head, Lord Malleus, thought of……

Our Halloween costumes!!

*camera pan of Malleus and Lilia in their costumes*

Malleus: The theme of our costumes is the “Long.”

Lilia: How is it? Doesn’t it suit us well?

Malleus: Last year, Diasomnia dressed up as traditional ghosts……

But this year, after being chosen as an Organization Committee member for the first time, I thought I should change things up a little.

It was my intention to make an eye-catching costume that was surprisingly colorful for Halloween.

Sebek: Yes!! It suits you so incredibly well! Yes, indeed!

That the Young Master would choose to model this on it…… Surely the Long is crying tears of joy right now!

Epel: Sebek is the one who’s crying, not the Long……

Malleus: Thank you, Sebek.

That’s right. I must also give my thanks to Schoenheit for his advice on the costumes.

Vil: At first I said, “It doesn’t make sense, because you already look like you’re wearing a dragon costume”……

But then he went on for an hour about how, “Dragons and Long are not the same thing.” Ad nauseam. 

Malleus: Long are creatures that hail from the East. The horns, tail, and epithelium are similar to dragons, but………

It’s a completely different creature than a dragon. The presence and absence of wings, and, of course, comparing the skeletons render them obviously different species. 

But before that, to begin with, strictly speaking Long are not fae…...

Vil: We get it. You’ve been explaining for ten minutes already!

Lilia: Sorry about that. It’s something Malleus is a bit particular about.

Kalim: The way he was talking so fast just now was kinda like Idia.

Idia: Is it because talking fast is an otaku trait?

Kalim: Huh? What’s with that? I think it’s great since you can feel how much fun you’re having!

Idia: Having no ill-intent is like rubbing salt in the wound……

Jack: ……It looks rad, but is it okay that it’s not a ghost costume?

Isn’t the costume supposed to make you a “ghost that scares ghosts?”

Malleus: What are you saying? This costume is the ghost of a Long.

Jack: Eh?

Crowley: Back when I started the stamp rally, everyone wore sheets and pretended to be a ghost, but……

Some students started to get really into it, then others joined in saying, “If they’re doing that, so will we!” as if they were competing with the other dorms, and each year it gets more and more flashy.

Nowadays, even costumes that are “the ghost of a monster” aren’t uncommon.

Vil: Continuing to answer the expectations of our audience is important for the long game.

Halloween Week has been brushed up by the mutual encouragement of the student body.

Azul: To sum it up, it’s a competition of vanity.

Jack: I get it. How should I say this…… It’s very like our school.

Silver: The decorations on Ramshackle Dormitory are modeled after the country my old man…… I mean, Lilia-senpai, traveled to a long time ago.

Lilia: Indeed. I’ve traveled to many countries, but……

The legends of the long in the countries of the Far East left a great impression on me!

Among others, the long sometimes acted as the guardian deity of a clan.

I remembered that story when Malleus said he wanted the costume to be of a Long!

Epel: The bright red Long is really flashy and cool!!

Lilia: Kufufu. I know right?

The lanterns, clouds, and Long are all floating using magic. It was also planned to light the lanterns with magic.

Rather than being cool, isn’t it more realistic for them to flicker and sway?

Vil: To put it simply…… there are a good number of lanterns, right?

Keeping the fire lit while they’re floating…… Realistically speaking, it’s a magical strength that other dorms can’t imitate.

As expected of a Diasomnia Halloween, where many students’ strong point is their practical implementation of magic.

Crowley: To gather a wealth of knowledge and realize an image with the application of skillful magic……

It is truly like Diasomnia to produce a Halloween that is the perfect example of a mage training academy!

Let’s move on to the next one.

Next…… The Botanical Garden the Heartslabyul students unanimously chose is nearby.
