PART 1

Location: Mirror Chamber
Mirror: State thy name
Ace: Ace! Ace Trappola!
Mirror: The shape of thy soul is…
Heartslabyul!
Ace: As expected, it’s Heartslabyul
It’s the same dorm as my graduated older brother
Riddle: You! Once the sorting is done, hurry and return to your seat!
No matter when, I will not forgive any sort of rule-breaking by Heartslabyul students
Ace: Yes, yes, dorm head! I’ll head back now
What’s with him? He’s small but he’s scary
But I’m sorted properly now…
Now it’s just to see the others sorted into their dorm, and the entrance ceremony would be done. No problemo ♪
Deuce: …
Mirror: Heartslabyul!
Ace: Uwah, that super serious-looking guy is in my dorm. I’m not into it.
Mirror: Scarabia!
Ace: Heeh, he has the look for it
Mirror: Savanaclaw!
Ace: …
Mirror: Octavinelle!
Ace: How many people are left…?
Mirror: Pomefiore!
Riddle: …
Ace: I’m so bored.
The teachers and dorm heads are watching the sorting so intensely
That’s right!
Since it’s so long, surely they won’t notice one or two students missing?
To be careful, I should grab one other person, someone who seems weak
That way, even if we get find out we can say that we’re going to the infirmary since one of us isn’t feeling well
Someone near me… Oh! The one in front of me seems super slender! Let’s grab him!
Hey, hey. You, the one who’s a freshman like me, there’s something I want to talk about…
Epel: What…?
Ace: Ueeh!?
Epel: You’re… loud. We’re in the middle of a ceremony.
Ace: S, sorry, sorry
I’m so surprised… When he looked back I thought he was a girl…
Epel: …Did you say something?
Ace: No, it’s nothing! What I want to talk to you about… Isn’t watching this sorting boring?
Epel: Well… That’s true.
Ace: So let’s go outside for a bit before they’re finished here
Epel: Eh, but…
Ace: They won’t find out if two people goes out for a bit
C’mon, please! I’m seriously so bored!
Epel: W, wait! Don’t pull on my sleeves like that!
Ace: C’mon, let’s go before they find out!
Location: Night Raven College
Ace: Yosh. It should be fine here.
Epel: …Let go of my hand
Ace: Mm? …Ah, sorry, sorry.
Um…
Epel: If you’re going to ask for my name, it’s Epel.
Ace: Epel, huh? I’m Ace
Epel: Ace…kun.
Ace: That’s right. So, what dorm did you get sorted into?
Epel: …Pomefiore.
Ace: Aah~ the dorm head for that seems pretty tough to deal with.
He made a really intense speech with lines like “beauty is everything” and “you should drive forward towards it”
Epel: Yeah, he seems strict… and difficult… How about you, which dorm are you in?
Ace: I’m in Heartslabyul! Our dorm head seems really strict too~
But well, my older brother is from Heartslabyul too, so he might be able to tell me places to skip out at?
Epel: …That sounds nice. Besides, you seem like you suit Heartslabyul, Ace-kun
Ace: Hehe, really? You seem like you suit Pomefiore too. Like you’d look good in their dorm uniform.
Epel: …
Ace: What is it? The dorm head might seem scary, but once you enter, it might unexpectedly be good.
Since we’re pretty free now, should we go to Pomefiore’s dorm?
Epel: No… it’s fine.
Ace: Really?
Then let’s walk around this area
Let’s explore Night Raven College together!
PART 2
Location: Courtyard
Ace: So this is the courtyard~ My older brother recommended it as a skipping spot, and it’s perfect as one.
Epel: Yeah…
Ace: Oh, found a bench under the apple tree! Looks good for a nap, no?
If a teacher comes by, we can just say that we’re lying down cause of a stomachache~ Then they’d let us go
Epel: …That’s true.
Ace: …It’s just me who keeps talking from earlier. Are you bored?
Epel: No…
Ace: Or you regret skipping the entrance ceremony with me?
Epel: It’s not, like that…
Ace: Epel, you keep making non-committal replies.
Are you always like that?
You should just say what you think.
Epel: …It’s because I don’t have anything to say
Ace: Mm… So Epel, you’re really not a girl right? To tell the truth, I was surprised when I called out to you
Epel: Wh…! I’m not!
Ace: Oh, that’s real nice~
You finally spoke out what you feel.
Epel: …!
Ace: You really overthink before you speak. Since we’re both freshmen, it’d be good if you could speak more casually to me
Before our lessons start, there’d be a self introductory session too. Are you planning to stay timid then as well?
Epel: It’s not like I speak like this because I like it…
Ace: What do you mean? You’re nervous because it’s the first day today?
Then you’d be even more nervous when the lessons start and the room is full of new faces.
Can’t be helped huh~ Let me show you a sample self-introduction.
My name is Ace Trappola. I come from the Rose Kingdom.
My favorite food is Cherry Pie. How about you?
Epel: Eh…
Ace: C’mon, hurry!
Epel: M-my name is Epel… Epel Felmier. I come from… it’s a secret…
My special skill is crafting apple shape, I think. My favorite food is… m-macaron.
Ace: Oh~ Macaron, huh? It suits how you look.
Epel: …And yakiniku
Ace: Yakiniku?!
Ahaha! That’s totally unexpected! A real gap!
Epel: I didn’t say anything funny!
???: Mm…? I heard a voice
Epel: !
Ace: Shit, someone is coming! Hide!

Riddle: Ace Trappola! Epel Felmier! Are you two there?
If you can hear me, come out.
Epel: That person is… The Heartslabyul dorm head…?
Ace: Ssh! Be quiet…!
Riddle: Seriously… disappearing from the entrance ceremony. It’s good if you didn’t get yourselves in any trouble but.
But…
If you’re just skipping out, I’m putting you on trial.
Epel: T-trial…!?
Ace: Don’t mind him, stay quiet.
Epel: …
Riddle: Ace, Epel, where are you two? Looks like they’re not in the courtyard. I’ll look inside
Ace: …
Epel: …
Ace: Fuh~ looks like we managed to get through that. It’s fine now.
Epel: Fuaah~ I couldn’t breathe…
Ace: Sorry, but at least it’s better this way than getting found out by a dorm head right?
Epel: From the start to the end, you’re the one who’s forcing me along
Ace: Don’t say it like that! Isn’t it good to get ahead of the other freshmen and check out the campus first?
Alright, let’s head back before we’re caught by that demon dorm head.
I wonder if the sorting is almost done~ I’m seriously sick of looking at it.
Epel: If I’m not wrong… There are around 200 new students.
Ace: Geh, that’s too many! No wonder it’s so long!
So the number of freshmen per dorm is…
Epel: …There are 7 dorms so around 30….?
Ace: Uwah~ That boring entrance ceremony is bad enough
After this we’re going to line up in 30s then go to the form… How annoying!
Epel: Ace-kun… You seem bad at working in groups
Ace: The same goes for you too, right?
Epel: …Yes, kind of.
Ace: Hehe. Okay, let’s go. The dorm head is scary but let’s enjoy our school life from here on!
Nice to meet you, Epel!
