So this is the courtyard~.
My older brother recommended it as a skipping spot, and it’s perfect as one.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
Yeah...
|
 Ace
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
Epel 
|
...That’s true.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
...It’s just me who keeps talking from earlier. Are you bored?
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
No...
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Or you regret skipping the entrance ceremony with me?
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
It’s not, like that...
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Epel, you keep making non-committal replies.
Are you always like that?
You should just say what you think.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...It’s because I don’t have anything to say
|
 Ace
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
Epel 
|
Wh...! I’m not!
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Oh, that’s real nice~.
You finally spoke out what you feel.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...!
|
 Ace
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
Epel 
|
It’s not like I speak like this because I like it...
|
 Ace
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 Queendom of Roses.
My favorite food is cherry pie. How about you?
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
Eh...
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
C’mon, hurry!
|
 Epel
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
Ace 
|
Oh~ Macaron, huh? It suits how you look.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...And yakiniku.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Yakiniku?!
Ahaha! That’s totally unexpected! A real gap!
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
I didn’t say anything funny!
|
??? 
|
Mm...? I heard a voice.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
!
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Shit, someone is coming! Hide!
|

 Riddle
Riddle

Ace Trappola! Epel Felmier! Are you two there?
If you can hear me, come out.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
That person is... The Heartslabyul dorm head...?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Ssh! Be quiet...!
|
 Riddle
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
Epel 
|
T-trial...!?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Don’t mind him, stay quiet.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Ace, Epel, where are you two? Looks like they’re not in the courtyard. I’ll look inside
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
...
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Fuh~ looks like we managed to get through that. It’s fine now.
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
Fuaah~ I couldn’t breathe...
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Sorry, but at least it’s better this way than getting found out by a dorm head right?
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
From the start to the end, you’re the one who’s forcing me along
|
 Ace
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
Epel 
|
If I’m not wrong... There are around 200 new students.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Geh, that’s too many! No wonder it’s so long!
So the number of freshmen per dorm is...
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...There are 7 dorms so around 30....?
|
 Ace
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
Epel 
|
Ace-kun... You seem bad at working in groups
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
The same goes for you too, right?
|
 Epel
Epel 
|
...Yes, kind of.
|
 Ace
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!
