 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Hm? It seems like someone has come to visit. We should go welcome them.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I'll go.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
...Malleus. don't be too upset that you weren't able to go to the ceremony.
It's not that the school didn't ask my lord to attend because they were afraid of you.
This time it's just an unfortunate accident. Don't look so depressed.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
I'm not upset. It's the same as always with humans avoiding me.
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Doing things such as not inviting the Young Lord is outrageous. I, Sebek, will take down such people!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
I said I wasn't upset. You guys are annoyingly persistent.
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
A-Ah, that's right!! I apologize!!!!
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Malleus. It's useless to hide it from me.
My Lord has grown up splendidly in Briar Valley as a ruler. However, you are still young and also have things you do not know of.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
I understand that of course. That's why I entered this school to broaden my knowledge.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Academic knowledge is not the only thing to be learning. Why do you think you left Briar Valley?
Give it some serious thought, and think about it well. My Lord, really...
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Malleus-sama.
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Silver what are you doing, Lilia-sama was just in the middle of talking!! You're being a bother!!!!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Your voice is louder than mine, so I think you're more of a bother than I am.
Malleus-sama, Savanaclaw's dorm leader Leona and Ruggie have come to visit.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Kingscholar? This is rare. Why have they come? I don't remember having made any plans to meet...
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Do we need to make plans? Either way you're free right?
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
It's no use even if we talk to Silver. 'Scuse us.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
This place is as gloomy as always, huh. Always being in a place like this, don't you get depressed?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
How dare you! Speaking to the Young Lord like that...!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Sebek, you should also correct you way of speaking. He is Savanaclaw's dorm leader Kingscholar.
He is also the second prince of Sunset Savanna. We have to pay respect to other countries' royal families.
Besides, they may have come to invite us to a party.
Well then, Kingscholar?
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Was that dry joke something fairies find funny? I just came to give something to you.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
To me? I wonder what gift it could be...Oya?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
...The ceremony robes, it seems.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Let me see. Hm... The hood is different from the others...
This is Malleus' ceremony robe isn't it?
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
...I see, certainly it does appear to be mine. The size is also perfect, and it fits my horns.
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Wha, whaaaa... Young Lord... How divine...!
Malleus-sama's horns have a mysterious charm but the ceremony robe's hood makes them even more attractive!
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Aah, that's right, the hood was specially made to let out horns. I completely forgot.
So you had my ceremony robes, Kingscholar. I appreciate you going to the trouble of bringing it here personally to deliver.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Personally I didn't want to come here. Some coward was too damn scared or somethin' to come alone.
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
I mean who would... Like, people don't normally have the guts to step foot into Diasomnia alone.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Do you not feel welcomed to come hang out here as you please? ...Come now Malleus, let's put away your ceremony robe. Did the cleaning company think that the horn holes in the hood were for Leona's ears?
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
...Aaah. But didn't the ceremony robe smell of lizard?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
W-Watch what you say! Do you know who he is!?
He is the King of Kings. the ruler of Briar Valley! He is not just some common person!!
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
What's with him?
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
That enthusiastic Draconian seems to be new to the school...
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Enough, Sebek.
Kingscholar did something for me, so it is expected of a King to express gratitude towards him.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
King, huh...
It's a pity he can't tell the difference between a stray who's been driven out, and a lonely king.
You didn't even go to the recent entrance ceremony, so why did you get the robe washed?
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
It's none of your business.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
It is. Because of you doing something pointless, I had to come and do something I didn't want to.
Don't tell me you were thinking "next time I'll be invited to go" or somethin'? How pitiful. After all, you're not going to be invited the next time.
You won't ever have another opportunity to wear the ceremony robe. I assure you.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
...
...Have you finished your howling? The beast of the plains is incomparable with how annoying he can be.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Aah?
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
Oya, your ears are standing. Have I angered you? Fufu. You have such honest eyes.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
At least my ears are better than some useless decoration on my head. Or can those horns of yours at least be used as a coat hanger?
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
What do you think? You should try it yourself... if you're able to that is.
I'm also interested in what would happen if I were to pet your ears.
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
...To think he would easily fall to Leona-san's provocation. Malleus-san has an unexpectedly normal side to him in that sense.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Oi, Sebek. Don't go wild.
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
Let me go Silver!
Such rudeness to Malleus-sama... That man can't be forgiven!
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Hmmm. Interacting with schoolmates so familiarly... is it not good?
That is one of Malleus' necessary experiences.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Those horns of yours that get in the way, they wouldn't be too bad as a wall decoration. I'd cooperate with you if you gave them to me.
|
 Malleus
Malleus 
|
You should kindly let me cut your claws in return then.
After all, it's the best way to calm down a cat.
