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.)
