These clothes… Are these not the outfits we wore for the parade? But they feel different to before somehow…
|
 Crewel
Crewel

You're right. It's because I cast some magic on them.
It's much more efficient to adjust a costume that's already made rather than starting from scratch. It allowed me to touch up the finer details.
I believe these were originally intended to be nothing more than show costumes, but with my adjustments, you can wear them for an extended period of time. I guarantee their durability.

They do certainly feel much easier to move in than when we wore them for the parade.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
We can fight at any time like this for sure.
|
 Rook

Clothes filled with the fervent feelings of the professors… Nothing could be more reassuring. Merci!
|
 Crewel
Crewel 
|
Hmph. Adjusting the sewing is child's play for me.
…If you want to thank anyone, thank the Halloween Committee for preparing these costumes in the first place.
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Vil… Everyone…
|
*slam!*
|
???
|
Haaah-hah-hah! You all look perfectly prepared for a night raid!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
?! Who's there?!
|
 ???
??? 
|
I am the ruler of the forest covered in darkness, fog, and mystery! …Or the ghost of it, at least!
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
That voice… Coach Vargas, is that you?!
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
Hahaha! Well done for seeing through my disguise, Hunt! I'll reward you with a dozen eggs later.
If you intend to stage a night attack on the enemy, who better to take the lead than me, the great Vargas!
Come on, you sprouts! Muster up your courage!
After me!
|
 Trein
Trein 
|
Ah… Coach Vargas, wait!
|
*clatter!*
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
Bwaaaaaah!
Wh-Why? Why won't it let me in?! My costume should be perfect for the dress code!
|
*bang bang!*
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Prof. Lobster, ain't your outfit kinda more…a disguise rather than a costume?
|
 Trein
Trein 
|
It appears it is as I had feared. Us teachers cannot enter the mirror.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
What do you mean?
|
 Trein
Trein 
|
Recall what was written on the invitation. It was addressed to the students of Night Raven College only. In other words…
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Anyone who isn't a student isn't considered a guest?
|
 Trein
Trein 
|
…That seems to be the case, yes.
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
How rude! Refusing me, the one and only Vargas?!
|
 Trein
Trein 
|
You all are supposed to be under our care. The last thing I want to do is let you go off on your own… I'm truly sorry.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Professor Trein, Professor Crewel… There is nothing for you to worry about.
We'll utilize what you've been teaching us every day and show you the fruits of our efforts!
|
 Headmaster
Headmaster 
|
Ohhh, truly, what a shame this all is! I'm so sorry, everyone! Do your best, okay?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Could you at least try to look upset? Even if you're just putting it on?
|
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Sorry we're late.
|
 Ortho
Ortho 
|
The Pumpkin Knight takes the stage! …Is likely what my brother would've said, maybe?
|
 Sebek
Sebek 
|
I have finished my preparations to save the young master. I'm ready to leave at any time!
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Didn't think I'd be dressing up in this skeleton get-up again…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Why do you sound so upset about it? You suit it, Ace.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
That…is a compliment, right...?
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
I see you all came dressed up, as well.
|
 Sam
Sam 
|
Not just that… Sam in the house!
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
Oh, Sam! You're late. I was getting so impatient I almost jumped into the mirror before you arrived.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
You mean you already jumped into the mirror.
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
And you were rejected at that…
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Hey! Sam's holding something!
That wooden box you're holding so carefully in your hands… It's a parting gift for us, isn't it?!
|
 Sam
Sam 
|
What a sharp little imp you are! But you won't be finding money or food in here.
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
We heard that Trappola and Shroud had to run and find people on foot because no one's smartphones are working.
Don't you think it would be awfully inconvenient to carry out this mission without a proper way to communicate with each other?
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Shouldn't have expected anything less from our teachers. It is as you say.
We don't even know where the Dark Mirror leads to. It would be terrible if we ended up separated.
It would be hard to say that it's smart to continue with this without a way to communicate wirelessly.
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
Exactly! Unfortunately, this is one thing…that muscles just can't fix! Gah!
And that was when I remembered an ancient magic tool used in my home of Shaftlands.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
A magic tool?
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
This!
|
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
This is an "Enchanted Mirror".
In Shaftlands, there is a legend that tells of a magic mirror that would show its user whatever they wished,
from the image of an important friend in danger, to the figure of one's beloved, to the true form of a terrible beast.
|
 Sam
Sam 
|
This Enchanted Mirror is a communication device based on that legend.
Take this hand mirror and…
|
|
 Sam
Sam 
|
…this mirror that has been turned into a necklace right here, and you can communicate with each other.
You can only talk between this hand mirror and this necklace. Two necklace holders can't communicate.
It's a simple magic tool with a function just as simple, but you can use it to communicate with others without even needing radio waves!
Apparently, it was made before the time of mobile phones so that those who were close could contact each other.
|
 Trein
Trein 
|
Those are certainly nostalgic. When I was young, I often used one with my wife. I didn't think I'd be seeing such an old tool again.
|
 Sam
Sam 
|
Whatever people want, I'll always have in stock! Don't underestimate the Mystery Shop.
…Though, because it was so sudden, I couldn't prepare enough for everyone.
|
 Vargas
Vargas 
|
The dorm and vice leaders should take a necklace each.
We'll support you using the hand mirrors on our end!
