Episode 3-1: You Can Rely On Me
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Silver Silver	All we did was open the door from the lab…
The Other Dimension - Yugen Canyon
Silver Silver	I wasn't expecting us to suddenly end up in the mountains! The lab disappeared alongside the door when we shut it.
Jamil Jamil	Anything can happen in the Land of Ghosts, huh? I'm starting to feel like an idiot getting surprised at every little thing. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You can never be too careful in a situation like this. Let's examine this area as we did with the lab.
Jamil Jamil	I don't know if it's a castle wall or a corridor, but there's some long structure continuing well into the fog. What a strange building. Being from the Scalding Sands, such architecture is alien to me…
Silver Silver	I see a waterfall back there. Is this perhaps a canyon? It appears we won't have to worry about water, at least. We should be fine even if we end up stuck here for over a month.
Jamil Jamil	Hey… Quit it with the distasteful jokes. I have no intention of living here for a full month!
Silver Silver	Jokes? Did I say something funny? I went on this mission for the End This Halloween Party under the assumption that it was very possible this could turn into an extended operation.
Jamil Jamil	So the first thing you worry about is our water supply? I was already starting to think it with the whole aquarium thing in the lab, but your ideas sometimes end up a little too attuned to the great outdoors.
Silver Silver	Of course. I'm confident I have more knowledge than the average person on surviving in the wild. You can rely on me for anything.
Jamil Jamil	Well, it's not like I wasn't already relying on you, anyway, but…ugh, it can be hard for me to keep up when I'm talking with you, I swear.
Silver Silver	I can see the water's surface down below. We should go down and check if it's drinkable.
Jamil Jamil	There's flowers blooming on top of the water. I believe these are…
Silver Silver	Lotuses, yes. I've seen them on a postcard Father once sent me. It's a sight you can witness in the Far East where water is abundant, he told me.
Jamil Jamil	It was your father you said had seen the Land of Ghosts before, right? So he's been to the Far East, as well?
Silver Silver	He has. My father loves to travel. Thanks to that, he's incredibly knowledgeable, and he frequently tells me all about his travels abroad.
Jamil Jamil	Wow… That's interesting. I'm kind of jealous, honestly. I've been thinking for a while I want to go visit the Far East one day.
Silver Silver	Really? Then I have the perfect story that I heard from my father once! Look. There are many lotus leaves floating on the water, right?
Jamil Jamil	Yeah, I see them. They're really beautiful when they're bathed in the moonlight like this…
Silver Silver	In the East, it is said that if you can run across the water by stepping on those leaves, you can be considered a true warrior.
Jamil Jamil	You seriously believe that?! There's no way anyone could run on top of what is literally just leaves floating on the water. Your father is tricking you!
Silver Silver	Tricking me? But my father can even run on top of regular leaves floating on the water.
Jamil Jamil	What otherworldly being are you, Silver's Dad…?
Silver Silver	I have yet to master it, but that is simply a show that I still have a ways to go until I can truly be considered a warrior. …Oh right, the paper lanterns above us are similar to another story my dad told me. I have heard that a hero of the East used a rope of lanterns to protect the king's life.
Jamil Jamil	A hero?
Silver Silver	Mmhm. They weren't a mage, but they were an amazing person who had a huge influence on me when I was younger. A long time ago… Hm? I can hear something.
???	Eee-hee-hee-hee!
Jamil Jamil	This voice… Hide!
Ghost A Ghost A	We found so many mirror shards!
Ghost B Ghost B	Having a huge group of us split up to search all over was a smart idea after all.
Ghost C Ghost C	If we bring plenty of mirror shards to Their Greatness, they'll definitely be pleased!
Silver Silver	They're ghosts. They're holding those mirror shards so carefully.
Jamil Jamil	They were searching all over? Does that mean these guys didn't have the mirror shards on them to begin with?
Silver Silver	It seems like they went through quite the trouble to find them. It must really be important for the Halloween party. It might be best that we try to search for the mirror shards in this canyon ourselves.
Jamil Jamil	No… There's something else we can do.
Silver Silver	What?! Jamil, what are you…?!
Jamil Jamil	Hey, you ghosts!
Ghost A Ghost A	A-A living human?! We must bring them to Their Greatness!
Ghost B Ghost B	We'll teach you to fear us ghosts!
Jamil Jamil	Heh… Come at me!

Episode 3-2: I Want to Know More About You
The Other Dimension - Yugen Canyon
Ghost A Ghost A	Oooh, let us run before we are vanished from this woooorld!
Silver Silver	What's wrong, Jamil?! Why did you suddenly attack the ghosts?
Jamil Jamil	I thought that the ghosts might know something about the vanished students, so I just kind of charged ahead without thinking.
Silver Silver	I see. I understand how you feel, but it is inadvisable to attack without first observing the situation. There surely must be friendly ghosts among them.
Jamil Jamil	…I can't say I'm as optimistic as you are on the matter. Did you not hear what those ghosts said just now? They completely ignored what our intentions may have been and immediately jumped to taking us to whoever "Their Greatness" is.
Silver Silver	Hm… You aren't wrong, but… Their Greatness… I believe we should assume that this is their commander.
Jamil Jamil	…Oh my, what's this?
Jamil Jamil	Looks like they just happened to drop every last mirror shard they had on them.
Silver Silver	What? They dropped them again? They must be disappointed to have lost something so precious to them… We may be able to come to an understanding if we meet them again somewhere. Let's take these with us for if that time comes.
Jamil Jamil	…Sure. Let's do that. Before that, can you tell me the rest of that story you were talking about?
Silver Silver	That story? You mean the one about the hero who saved their country?
Jamil Jamil	Yeah. You stopped in the middle of it, so of course I'm curious to hear the rest. Besides, we're going to be having each others' backs for a while now. I want to know more about you. Tell me more about this person who influenced you so much.
Silver Silver	I see. What you say certainly does make sense. I understand then. A long time ago, there was someone who fought for their country in place of their ill father. Their achievements were so great that they were even referred to as a hero. I was so impressed by their kindness that I decided to do the same training that they were said to have done.
Jamil Jamil	Wow… Is that so…?
Silver Silver	What's wrong? You've been looking around for a little bit now. Did something catch your attention?
Jamil Jamil	No, no, it's nothing. So what was this special training exactly?
Silver Silver	It was training to fire three arrows at once and have them all hit the target, just like that hero did.
Jamil Jamil	Wow, three arrows at once… Wait, three arrows at once?! That would require some crazy arm strength!
Silver Silver	Indeed. I am yet to reach such a level myself. Of course, the hero couldn't do it themselves at first. But with fighting spirit set alight, they went through countless strict training regimens. It is said that they reached such heights in their training that in a fight on the snowy mountains, they were able to even use an avalanche to their advantage, taking down a whole enemy army by themselves. Naturally, they did all that without using magic. According to the legend, they used nothing more than both their hands to cause that avalanche.
Jamil Jamil	Wait, no tools or anything?!
Silver Silver	Yes. They were nearly caught by the avalanche themselves, but they dashed away over the snow on their horse and managed to escape.
Jamil Jamil	That sure is some fanciful tale… Well, legends of heroes usually are exaggerated to some degree.
Silver Silver	I train with the Equestrian Club daily because I always admired those legends. There is much other training that I carry out day and night based on the hero's stories. If I wish to become a full-fledged bodyguard for Lord Malleus, I can never do more than enough training. All I have to do is refuse to give up, and surely, there will come a day when even I can shoot three arrows at once.
Jamil Jamil	Honestly, I think you're actually already plenty strong as you are right now… Maybe I should be the one training a little more…
Ghost A Ghost A	I found them!
Jamil Jamil	Ah!
Silver Silver	Hm, it's the ghosts from earlier.
Ghost B Ghost B	One, two, three… Alright! With this, we once more have enough mirror shards.
Ghost C Ghost C	We may have lost the shards that we gathered earlier, but Their Greatness will surely be satisfied with this.
Jamil Jamil	Heh heh heh… You've done well, ghosts!
Ghost A Ghost A	Ahhh! You're the living humans from earlier!
Silver Silver	You have nothing to fear. So long as you do not attack us, we will not attack you. If you will cooperate with us, we have no qualms about giving the mirror shards you dropped back—
Jamil Jamil	Ghosts. We'll have you give those shards you just gathered to us!
Ghosts	What?!
Ghost A Ghost A	We went to great lengths to find these shards and now you intend to steal them?! Utter demons is what you are!
Silver Silver	No, you're wrong! I…
Ghost A Ghost A	We cannot forgive such rudeness. Prepare yourselves!

Episode 3-3: What a Stubborn Guy…
The Other Dimension - Yugen Canyon
Jamil Jamil	Hah-hah-hah! I knew they'd go collect more mirror shards if I just left them to their own devices. Rather than search for them with just the two of us, it's way faster to have a whole crowd of ghosts do the searching. We'll take those!
Ghost B Ghost B	WAAAAAAAAAAH! Stealing is such a horrible thing to do!
Ghost C Ghost C	We'll remember this!
Silver Silver	Jamil… It's not good to steal other people's belongings. Let's return the mirror shards to the ghosts.
Jamil Jamil	Are you listening to yourself? They're bad guys that literally tried to take us to whoever this "Their Greatness" is.
Silver Silver	It doesn't matter whether they're good or evil, it doesn't make stealing a justifiable act.
Jamil Jamil	Tch… What a stubborn guy… This doesn't count as stealing. We're going to head to the Halloween party eventually, right? We'll probably meet them at the venue. We can just give them back then. All we're doing is borrowing them for a bit.
Silver Silver	But…
Jamil Jamil	You want to save Malleus, don't you? Shouldn't we be prioritizing whatever lets us continue ahead?
Silver Silver	… The hero of the Far East once took their father's blade without permission and went on a journey… But in the end, they returned the sword with an apology. Perhaps that was a lesson that we sometimes have to make tough decisions in the name of the greater good. That's what you're trying to tell me, right?
Jamil Jamil	What? Uh, yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's precisely what I was trying to say.
Silver Silver	Even if the ghosts despise us now…I must swear to myself that I will one day return them, and forge ahead.
Jamil Jamil	Yes, that's perfect! That hero or whoever sure did leave some good teachings behind.
Silver Silver	You’re right. She was a wonderful person who did much for her country. It was because of her efforts that when she returned home after her journey away, her father finally acknowledged her as a daughter he could be proud of.
Jamil Jamil	…Daughter? She? Wait. That hero was a woman?!
Silver Silver	Yes, she was. Did I leave that out? She left home in the guise of a man to take the place of her father.
Jamil Jamil	That's clearly the most important part of the hero's story… Since you told me they caused an avalanche with both their hands, I was under the assumption it was a hulking man with huge, bulging muscles!
Silver Silver	Oh, you did? I apologize. I'm not terribly good at talking.
Jamil Jamil	*sigh* If anything, you've taught me that it's bad to make assumptions.
Silver Silver	Hm? Something's underneath that pavilion over there.
Jamil Jamil	Is that…a door? A door outside is a little strange. It might be the door that leads to the next area we need to go to, like how we made it to this canyon in the first place. Let's go.
Ghosts	WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!
Ghost A Ghost A	This time, we will not lose! We will have you return those mirror shards that you stole!
Silver Silver	Oh, dear ghosts… I'm sorry, but for those that are precious to me…I must forge a path forward!

Episode 3-4: There's No Need to Worry Anymore
The Other Dimension - Yugen Canyon
Ghost A Ghost A	H-How regrettable… Blegh.
Silver Silver	I apologize, but we'll be borrowing these mirror shards. I don't imagine you'll forgive us, but…I pledge to return these to you later!
Jamil Jamil	Let's go before someone else finds us.
Silver Silver	This is…
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Jamil & Silver Jamil & Silver	S-Stairs?!
Jamil Jamil	They're continuing without end… I can't tell up from down. Just looking is making me dizzy.
Silver Silver	The door disappeared again. Guess all we can do is keep moving forward. The stairs are crossing all over each other… We have a lot more blind spots than before. Stay alert.
Jamil Jamil	Yeah. Be careful when going around corners…
Silver Silver	Someone's there! Is it a ghost?!
Jamil Jamil	No, hang on… That's…
Jack Jack
Silver Silver	Is that Jack from Savanaclaw?!
Jamil Jamil	Why are you here by yourself? What happened to the rest of your dorm?!
Jack Jack	…
Silver Silver	In any case, I'm glad you're okay. It must have been scary, but we're here now. There's no need to worry anymore. Jamil, place a blanket over Jack's shoulders, would you?
Jamil Jamil	What makes you think I would have a blanket on me?
Silver Silver	You don't? I see…
Jamil Jamil	In times like this, it's an emergency aluminum heat sheet that you want. They aren't too bulky and they retain heat well. Look, you can even fit it inside your pockets like this.
Silver Silver	I see! Deep design and forethought is a motto that fits Scarabia well.
Jack Jack	…
Silver Silver	You held up well for a first year by yourself. Now, Jack, come here…
Jack Jack	NO! HOW VILE!
Silver Silver	What?!
Jack Jack	Did you even stop to consider how you would dirty my clothes by daring to touch me with your hands still riddled with such sweat?! You must clean your hands and arms up until the elbow if you intend to go anywhere near me! Apologize for daring to defile my noble self, you curs! Bow to me, right now! Both knees on the ground!
Silver Silver	This may be the first time someone's ever demanded I bow in apology because my hands were sweaty.
Jamil Jamil	What the hell's he caring about that for? Savanaclaw is literally filled with meat brains. Since when were they so sensitive they cared about something like sweat? Oi, Jack! Stop messing around already.
Jack Jack	Eeeeek! Y-Y-You just pulled on my arm, didn't you? This is why I abhor delinquents such as yourself! You all think you can just make people listen by force! You're aiming for my pocket money, now, aren't you? Oh, how frightful! Go away!
Silver Silver	Ow! Ow, that hurts!
Jamil Jamil	He's just punching away at us!
Silver Silver	All he's doing is flailing his arms wildly, but with a body as built as his, his fists have some force behind them!
Jamil Jamil	Gah, I don't think we have much other choice than to hold him down by force!
Jack Jack	Wh-Wh-Why are you two glaring at me like that? You barbaric delinquents! Now that it's come to this, I have no choice but to bring out my secret book… "Get Stronger in Just a Week! The Meatiest Muscle Training Book!" I'll show you all the moves I've learned from this!
Silver Silver	Don't worry, Jack… We won't aim for your vital points!

Episode 3-5: Just Admit it Gracefully
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Jack Jack	WAAAAAAH! How dare you get dirt on my face like this!
Jamil Jamil	Well, that's that over.
Jack Jack	UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I really can't get along with you delinquents!
*wooosh*…
Jamil Jamil	Hey, did you see a white blur fly out of Jack's body or was that just me?
Jack Jack	…
Silver Silver	He was crying so loudly a moment ago and now he just suddenly went quiet. Is he okay?
Jack Jack	H-Huh? Silver and…Jamil? Why are you both here? …Actually, where is this?!
Silver Silver	…Are you back to normal?
Jack Jack	What? Back to normal? I don't remember acting any different to usual.
Silver Silver	Listen close. The truth is…
Jack Jack	The school's in such a horrible state…? And what's more…I started speaking all proper, and even ended up talking down to the both of you… …and then I started bawling? Like hell I'd ever do something like that!
Jamil Jamil	You did, though.
Jack Jack	You're lying!
Jamil Jamil	Silver saw you, as well. Just admit it gracefully already.
Silver Silver	Do you really remember nothing?
Jack Jack	Yes. I remember up until I went to sleep, but anything after that, I just have no memory of… …Wait, a ghost!
Jamil & Silver Jamil & Silver	A ghost?
Jack Jack	Yes! While I was sleeping, I suddenly heard this unfamiliar voice: "Welcome to the Land of Ghosts," I think it said. Then when I opened my eyes, this ghost's face was suddenly right in front of me, and after that… After that…what actually happened?
Jamil Jamil	These ghosts again, huh?
Silver Silver	There's no doubt that the way you were speaking and acting earlier wasn't you. The movements of your body were stiff, too. Could it be that you had your body taken over by a ghost?
Jack Jack	I-I was taken over by a ghost?! And that's why I spoke so daintily, bawled my eyes out, and even raised a hand to my upperclassmen of all people… I-I really put on an embarrassing display.
Jamil Jamil	There's no time to be depressed over this. We came here to rescue the kidnapped students and put an end to this Halloween.
Silver Silver	We don't know what's waiting ahead, but having you here will make us feel much safer. Jack, come together with us!
Jack Jack	I'd already been planning to do just that! Gotta show my appreciation to the ghost that made me make such a fool of myself. You damned ghost… Prepare yourself!

Episode 3-6: Hidden Treasure is a Staple of Places Like This
The Other Dimension - Hollow Graveyard
Riddle Riddle	Oh, there's a small building here. Is it a mausoleum?
Ortho Ortho	It's definitely suspicious. Maybe the ghost that ran away earlier is hiding in there!
Ruggie Ruggie	I mean, it doesn't seem locked. May as well have a look inside.
The Other Dimension - Haunted Ghost Town
Riddle Riddle	I'm certain we just entered a building…yet we're somehow back outside?! That door must have been connected to a completely different space.
Ruggie Ruggie	The door's already disappeared, too. Trust the Land of Ghosts to be capable of wacky stuff.
Ortho Ortho	There's a gate over there. Let's go check it out!
Riddle Riddle	There's a number of small houses dotted about… It seems like a village of some kind, but it's not terribly large.
Ortho Ortho	They're all so run-down, they look ready to fall apart at any second… I hope Yuu and Grim are safe.
Riddle Riddle	Yes... I was worrying about that, as well.
Ruggie Ruggie	Hey, don't tell me you both ended up thinking of Yuu just 'cause you saw these run-down houses? Well, it is true that they're all in a pretty similar state to Ramshackle. They're clearly not new, and I don’t see anyone around… Whoa! Look over there! Towards the plaza down the road.
Ghost A Ghost A	Where… Where are the mirror shards…?
Ghost B Ghost B	We must find them swiftly so we can deliver them to Their Greatness!
Ortho Ortho	Ghosts… So many of them are gathered.
Riddle Riddle	From the sounds of things, they're searching for mirror shards here, too. Alright! Let's pin them down and question them about—
Ruggie Ruggie	Stop! Riddle, we don't even know how many ghosts are here. If we just blindly rush in and beat 'em up, who knows if we'll last!
Ortho Ortho	I agree with Mr. Ruggie Bucchi. We don't have an endless supply of mana…and since there's no electrical supply, my battery has a limit, as well. Limiting our output will increase the chances of survival for not just us, but also my brother and all the other disappeared students, as well.
Riddle Riddle	You do have a point. …Then how about this? What we should be searching for right now is any important clues that will lead us to the mastermind of all this. In other words, the mirror shards that were mentioned in that invitation. We should avoid pointless fights with ghosts who don't have any of those. Instead, we should find them before they get the chance to. We'll aim for the Halloween party where the mastermind awaits while saving our energy as much as possible. And then, we'll cut off the source of this evil directly.
Ortho Ortho	That sounds good! That way, we can interfere with the ghosts that are searching for the mirror shards, too.
Riddle Riddle	Okay then. Then let us begin our search in this deserted village for some mirror shards.
Ruggie Ruggie	Heck yeah!
Riddle Riddle	…Why do you look so happy, Ruggie?
Ruggie Ruggie	Shishishi. We're about to go on a treasure hunt in abandoned buildings! What could be more exciting than that? Hidden treasure is a staple of places like this!
Riddle Riddle	Treasure? As you just said yourself, this town was abandoned. You aren't going to find the kind of treasure you're after here.
Ruggie Ruggie	C'mon, Riddle, don't tell me you don't get it? This is practically any kid's dream!
Riddle Riddle	Th-Their dream?
Ruggie Ruggie	Yeah! Old graveyards, museums lacking all sign of life, dirty swamps, abandoned towns… It's always in these kinds of empty places that the entrance to riches lie!
Ortho Ortho	Ah, are you talking about a treasure hunt? Big Bro plays a lot of adventure games where the main character is a treasure hunter. You have to traverse through the sea, through the desert, through forests, meeting new party members and finding hints along the way… It's so exciting!
Ruggie Ruggie	Yeah, exactly! And then the party end up with bountiful riches by the end… Ugh, it makes me so jealous. Back when I was a kid, there was this comic that everyone in the neighborhood shared that was like that. I always wanted to have an experience like that one day myself. Just deciding for yourself that there's no way a place is hiding treasure is how you end up losing that chance to find it!
Riddle Riddle	Really? I can't say I fully understand it, but…
Ruggie Ruggie	No point just sitting around thinking about it! Let's start with this house here! The roof looks about ready to collapse at any moment.
Ghost C Ghost C	GYAAAAAAH!
Riddle Riddle	Wait, a ghost?! They were inside the houses, too?!
Ghost C Ghost C	H-How dare you break in to a lady's house without permission.
Ruggie Ruggie	Huh? You're living here?!
Ghost C Ghost C	You thieves! Trespassers! I'll get you for this!

Episode 3-7: Is There a Problem?
The Other Dimension - Haunted Ghost Town
Ghost C Ghost C	Eeek, I'm going to be vanished like this. Someone! Someone please help!
Ortho Ortho	After we just said we'd save our energy, too…
Ruggie Ruggie	House one and we already found ourselves in a battle.
Riddle Riddle	Th-That one was beyond our control. They attacked us first! …Though I will admit that entering without even knocking first was impolite of us. Anyway, if they were inside, then they should've locked the door. Not doing so was just careless. …Ahem. That said, it may be best for us to not just open doors willy-nilly from here. We may end up running into another ghost. Let's restrict our search to outside the houses for now.
Ruggie Ruggie	Are you for real? Darn, I thought I'd get the chance to go digging through the houses, too.
Riddle Riddle	Are you still thinking about treasure? Didn't I tell you that there's no way you'll find anything like that here? To begin with, I don't understand what reason there would be to hide treasure or hints to it in an abandoned village of all places. If it is really that important, one should either keep it safely on their person, or entrust it to an organization that has adequate security measures in place.
Ruggie Ruggie	Stop being such a spoilsport. There's always a theory to every story!
Riddle Riddle	Even if you tell me that, I don't have any experience with these comics or games that you both are talking about. All I can do is supply a realistic opinion.
Ortho Ortho	I see. So you aren't that familiar with comics or games, Mr. Riddle Rosehearts? Then what about movies or novels? Like adventure ones where the characters go on a hunt for treasure! I love the Adventures of the Moustached Captain series, in particular.
Riddle Riddle	I haven't particularly consumed novels or movies made for entertainment purposes, either. Oh, though I've read autobiographies of many a great person. When I was around your age, Ortho, I was already reading medical dictionaries, so... Hm? Is there a problem?
Ruggie Ruggie	Man, I do not envy you…
Ortho Ortho	I can't believe this… There's evidence that shows entertainment is necessary for one's emotional development.
Ruggie Ruggie	Riddle, I think there's a problem when you've got a robot worrying for the development of your emotions.
Riddle Riddle	Why are you both ganging up on me like this? This is none of your business! And anyway, even if I'm not that knowledgeable on modern popular works, I at least know all the classics necessary for my education. Treasure hunts? Adventure? There is no meaning in partaking in works which have nothing in them to learn from.
Ruggie Ruggie	Really? You're a smart guy so I think you'd really like things like treasure hunts and adventures.
Riddle Riddle	How are those even tangentially related?
Ruggie Ruggie	They're super related! Treasure hunts are like solving riddles.
Riddle Riddle	Solving riddles?
Ruggie Ruggie	Yeah, yeah. Like, uh… Oh, so, there was this comic I read that had a scene like this: The main character is offered a deal by a monster. "When you laugh, they laugh. When you cry, they cry. A friend who will always stand by you when…"
Riddle Riddle	The answer is a mirror, yes?
Ruggie Ruggie	Don't say the right answer before I even finish! At least make it look like you have to think about it. What point is there in even talking about it if you don't?! "If you wish to find the treasure, present such a precious friend." Upon being ordered to do that by the monster… …the main character uses his quick wits and slams a mirror down while going, "This is the answer!" It's literally the best scene!
Riddle Riddle	Hm… The problem was far too simple, but if it involves solving riddles, then maybe it's good for exercising the brain, after all…
Ortho Ortho	In adventure stories, it's typical for there to be some kind of puzzle using mirrors. It usually involves adjusting the trajectory of the light.
Riddle Riddle	…Hmm, is that so?
Ruggie Ruggie	You mean like when the light reflecting off the mirrors shows the way to the treasure, right?
Ortho Ortho	The mirror shards that the ghosts dropped may be some kind of key, too. Doesn't it get pretty exciting when you think of it like that? Even in the Adventures of the Moustached Captain, there was a point where he had to put a mirror on top of a gate, and then follow the stream of light created when the moonlight reflected off it.
Riddle & Ruggie Riddle & Ruggie	What?!
Ortho Ortho	Hey, look! The light reflecting off the mirror shard…is pointing at the well in the middle of the village!
Riddle Riddle	Let's check out the well!
Riddle Riddle	…There's something shining down there!
Ortho Ortho	Really?!
Ruggie Ruggie	Wait, did we actually just find some treasure? Am I about to become rich?!
Riddle Riddle	We should hurry and see just what's in there!
Ghost C Ghost C	There they are, officers! They're the ones!
Ortho Ortho	Oh no, that ghost that escaped earlier's come back with a ton of reinforcements!
Ghost D Ghost D	So there really were living humans loitering around here!
Ghost E Ghost E	What dastardly burglars you all are, daring to enter a lady's residence without permission! We'll capture you and bring you to Their Greatness's…
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, shut up!
Riddle Riddle	We don't have the time for this!
EEEK!
Ghost D Ghost D	Wh-What vicious fellows… If we leave them roaming free, it's only a matter of time until the other ghosts are harmed.
Ghost E Ghost E	We must capture them at any cost!
Ruggie Ruggie	Ugh, we can't focus on finding the treasure like this. Let's beat 'em all up already!

Ghost E Ghost E	WAAAAH! I'm going to have nightmares of those scary faces! Help meeeeee!
Ruggie Ruggie	Neat! Now that we've chased the ghosts off, let's get to fetching that treasure.
Ortho Ortho	I'll head down there and get it!
Riddle Riddle	Okay, we're counting on you! *ba-dump ba-dump!*
Ruggie Ruggie	*gulp*
Ortho Ortho	This is…!
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, for— It's just a mirror shard! Why'd they leave such a dramatic hint for this?! I thought there was gonna be like gold or jewels buried down there!
Ortho Ortho	U-Um… Mr. Ruggie Bucchi, could I talk to you for a moment?
Ruggie Ruggie	Hm?
Ortho Ortho	To tell you the truth, the light that led to the well earlier… …wasn't actually a hint or anything. I just reflected the light built into my arm on the mirror shard. Given the conversation, I was just trying to surprise Mr. Riddle Rosehearts a little… We even ended up having to fight off the ghosts… Do you think he'll be angry?
Ruggie Ruggie	I would strongly advise against telling Riddle any of that. I can hear it now. He'd definitely be all, "How dare you trick me?!"
Riddle Riddle	…A… AMAZING!
Ortho & Ruggie Ortho & Ruggie	Huh?
Riddle Riddle	This is amazing! We really found what we were searching for! If we hadn't spoken about using mirrors to solve the puzzles, we would never have thought to examine the well first. Riddles aren't something to be taken lightly, after all! And this is the first time I've ever gotten to feel that sense of excitement you get before opening a box that you don't know the contents of!
Ruggie Ruggie	I'm not really one to talk since I was getting all excited about the possible treasure myself, but… There really are people out there who get so innocently happy about solving a simple kid's puzzle like using mirrors to reflect light, huh?
Ortho Ortho	It appears it may have been a little much for Mr. Riddle Rosehearts. Entertainment really is something to consume in moderation. Big Bro says that a lot, too. "The more you hold back from your hobbies, the more it'll come back to bite you as an adult. So that's why I never hold back >:)"
Riddle Riddle	So this is a treasure hunt. I didn't think it'd be this much fun… Once we safely bring this Halloween to an end, I'll make sure to read the Adventures of the Moustached Captain myself! I hope it's in the school library.
Ruggie Ruggie	Well, if you had a good time, I can't really complain.
Ortho Ortho	There's this activity called an "escape game" that's been getting popular recently! It lets you experience a treasure hunt through solving puzzles. But my brother is reluctant to go outside so he won't go together with me. If we make it out of here safely, how about all three of us go to one?
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, that sounds neat. If you're willing to pay the participation fee, I'm more than happy to.
Ghost D Ghost D	You lot!
Riddle Riddle	Hm? …Whoa!
Ortho Ortho	I-It's an army of ghosts!
Ghost E Ghost E	Let's protect the peace of this village! These dangerous villains will never be able to stand up to the might of the whole village!
YEAH!
Riddle Riddle	They're coming for us! Get ready!

Episode 3-9: Make This Fun for Me
The Other Dimension - Haunted Ghost Town
Riddle Riddle	No matter how many times we defeat them, they just keep coming back for more… You're in the way!
Ruggie Ruggie	What happened to saving our energy?!
Ortho Ortho	Look at that building to our right! It's significantly less deteriorated than the others! Let's run in there and gather ourselves!
Riddle Riddle	What?!
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Ruggie Ruggie	Where is this?!
Ortho Ortho	We've somehow ended up somewhere completely different again.
Riddle Riddle	There's absolutely no rhyme or reason to this architectural style… Yet another strange place.
Ruggie Ruggie	Doesn't Heartslabyul look kinda like this?
Riddle Riddle	How rude! Our great Heartslabyul Dorm has been strictly designed according to tradition…
???	Oh, hey~ Who do we have here?
Riddle Riddle	Hm? Did a ghost come along with us?!
Ortho Ortho	No, they didn't. The heat sensor is detecting something… Ah, look up on top of the stairs!
Floyd? Floyd?	Ahah. What're ya all doin' hanging around here?
Ruggie Ruggie	That slippery way of speaking… Floyd?! Oh, man, are we glad you're safe!
Riddle Riddle	Wait! Don't go any closer!
Ruggie Ruggie	Huh?
Floyd? Floyd?	…
Riddle Riddle	…That isn't Floyd.
Ruggie Ruggie	Huh? How not?!
Riddle Riddle	Near the beginning of our first term at Night Raven College, Jade said this to me…
Interior Hallway
*bang*
Riddle Riddle	Oh, I'm sorry. I was in a rush, and… Ugh, Floyd!
Jade Jade	Riddle, I'm Jade, not Floyd.
Riddle Riddle	What? Ah, I do apologize. You both look so alike, I still haven't discerned how to tell you both apart…
Jade Jade	I cannot fault you. It is not uncommon for others to mix us up. Ah, how about I tell you this little trick then? Please take a close look at my face. There are various differences to Floyd, from the color of my eyes, to the angle of my tear ducts and eyelashes, to the thickness of my ear lobes…
Riddle Riddle	…From my perspective, those are so slight it just feels as if I'm misremembering rather than you being a different person.
Jade Jade	The easiest difference to spot may be which side our highlighted lock of hair is facing. From where you are standing opposite me, mine is on the right, but Floyd's is on the left. …Do you notice anything about it?
Riddle Riddle	Do I notice…? Oh! Is it…?
Jade Jade	Indeed! This lock of hair goes in the same direction as a J.
Riddle Riddle	I knew it! That makes it much easier to remember!
Jade Jade	"The lock on the right symbols the J of Jade." Just remember that. *chuckle*…
Riddle Riddle	That's what he said.
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh yeah, now that you mention it, the lock of hair is going in the shape of a J like for Jade, but… Do you not think the way he's speaking and his attitude are way different than normal?
Ortho Ortho	…Image collation complete. I've checked it against my internal memory. The color of his eyes…that is certainly Mr. Jade Leech!
Jade Jade	Ahah… Ahaha… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who even cares who I am? Before you worry about me…try worrying about yourselves first!
Ruggie Ruggie	Whoa! He actually attacked!
Jade Jade	Come at me, ya small fry! Oh, and…make sure you actually make this fun for me, wouldja? Ahah.
Ruggie Ruggie	Are you 100% sure that isn't Floyd?!
Riddle Riddle	Honestly, I'm starting to wonder myself… It could be Floyd and he's just parted his hair differently.
Jade Jade	Take this!
Ortho Ortho	He's attacking again! Dodge!
Riddle Riddle	Gah… Whether he's Jade or Floyd doesn't matter. If they're aiming to harm me, there's only one thing left to do! Aim right back!

Episode 3-10: This Really is Like an Adventure Book!
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Jade Jade	Aw man, I lost. You three ain't half bad.
Ruggie Ruggie	Whew… Least we somehow managed to pin him down long enough to tie him up.
Riddle Riddle	Pull it tighter! If he starts thrashing around again, it'll just be troublesome.
Jade Jade	C'mon, I'm not gonna do nothin' like that anymore. Just gettin' to go a bit wild was good fun…
*whooosh…*
Ortho Ortho	Hm? Did some white smoke just come out of Mr. Jade Leech's body?
Jade Jade	…
Ruggie Ruggie	He suddenly went limp. What happened? Did he pass out?
Jade Jade	…Oh my, Ruggie, is that you? Riddle and Ortho, too. Whatever is the matter?
Riddle Riddle	You're…definitely Jade, right?
Jade Jade	Yes. I am most certainly Jade Leech. "The lock on the right symbols the J of Jade." Did you already forget?
Riddle Riddle	Well, you do appear to be the real thing. *sigh* What a bother...
Jade Jade	The real thing…? I did notice my whole body smells like it's burning. Just what in the world happened? I can't move, either.
Riddle Riddle	We'll tell you while we untie this rope. To put it briefly…
Jade Jade	I see… I appear to have caused you all some unnecessary trouble. Though I have no memory of it, I certainly put on an embarrassing display.
Riddle Riddle	You're right. I couldn't bear to keep watching you.
Ruggie Ruggie	You were literally exactly like how Floyd usually is… But you don't even remember attacking us? Did someone brainwash you or something?
Riddle Riddle	If we take into consideration that his personality suddenly completely shifted, that white smoke that left his body, and that this is the Land of Ghosts… I believe it likely that Jade was taken over by a ghost.
Ortho Ortho	Yup, I came to the same conclusion! It wouldn't be impossible for a ghost.
Jade Jade	I honestly remember little since falling asleep, but…I do vaguely recall hearing Azul's voice.
Riddle Riddle	Azul's? Then is he around here somewhere, too?
Ortho Ortho	This is still just speculation, but it is very possible that… …all the kidnapped students have had their consciousnesses taken over by ghosts, just like Mr. Jade Leech did.
Jade Jade	…I'm worried for the others. Let us hurry ahead.
Ruggie Ruggie	…Are you actually worried?
Jade Jade	But of course! How could I possibly find a situation like this fun? Besides…it's about time I find whatever ghost unfairly took over my body and have them pay the price in full.
Ortho Ortho	We've got another reliable member added to the party! This really is like an adventure book!
Riddle Riddle	Is everyone ready? Then let us continue ahead!
YEAH!

Episode 3-11: Don't You Agree, My Brothers?
The Other Dimension - Sleepless Castle
Trey Trey	We've crossed mountains, valleys and rivers… The road here was tough, but I can finally see the gates to the castle.
Rook Rook	If it is the same as A Joyous Night with the Moon, then there should be ghosts acting as the royal family's personal guard manning them. You both remember what we rehearsed, I trust?
Sebek Sebek	Of course!
Rook Rook	Then, as of this moment… …we will begin our mission to become one with the ghosts and extract information from them!
Ghost A Ghost A	I have completed my patrol, sir! There was nothing amiss!
Ghost B Ghost B	Good work.
Rook Rook	Bonsoir!
Ghost A Ghost A	Hm? Who are you?!
Rook Rook	We're nothing more than a trio of friendly ghosts passing by! I am the ghost of a vampire.
Trey Trey	I'm a skeleton, sirs.
Sebek Sebek	I'm a Long.
Ghost A	A vampire, a skeleton, and a Long?
Ghost B Ghost B	…What a strange group. This is suspicious!
Trey Trey	(Well, that didn't take long…)
Sebek Sebek	(As I thought, is it not a little much to think we could possibly hope to imitate ghosts?!)
Rook Rook	Oh my, your words sadden me so, bon ami… All living creatures become ghosts eventually. We are all friends here. What species one was before death is but a trifling matter. While we remain bound by our regrets, we cannot cherish our ghost life… Don't you agree, my brothers?
Sebek Sebek	B-Brothers?! You mean us…?
Ghosts	*staaaaaaaare*
Sebek Sebek	Y-Yes, yes! Exactly! No need to think about race! Gah! To think I would not only be called a brother by a human, I must even put my arm around their shoulders and smile happily…!
Rook Rook	My friends! We must implore that you assist us. We wanted to go to this party here, but it seems we've ended up a little lost.
Ghost A Ghost A	Oh, that's an invitation to the Halloween party! You were invited by Their Greatness, too, were you?
Ghost B Ghost B	Guests of the party, you say? I guess you aren't suspicious, after all.
Sebek & Trey Sebek & Trey	Whew.
Rook Rook	"Too"… So you will be going to the party, as well?
Ghost A Ghost A	But of course! We intend to head over once our work here is done.
Ghost B Ghost B	Don't worry too much about the way there. If you just keep collecting the mirror shards, you'll reach the party venue eventually. Heeee-hee-hee! Have you already found some of those very important mirror shards?
Sebek Sebek	Found…?
Trey Trey	No! We're still searching. Oof, it's a bit of a pickle we're in, though. Just where could those mirror shards be?
Ghost A Ghost A	Hmm… They were scattered about all over the place quite a long time ago, so it won't be easy to find them. They could be lying somewhere on the ground, or caught in a tree, or maybe even floating in the water. Unfortunately, the only way to find them is the tried and true method of searching with your eyes.
Ghost B Ghost B	You'll be fine. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. In fact, I just found one in the castle moat a moment ago. Take a look!
Ghosts	Hmm?!
Ghost A Ghost A	You with the bob cut… You said you were a vampire, but here your reflection is in the mirror!
Rook Rook	Oh my. Perhaps I just look good today because I'm in such a happy mood?
Ghost A Ghost A	Don't talk about it like you're praising the condition of your skin! No way that's why!
Ghost B Ghost B	You're those living humans Their Greatness mentioned, aren't you?
Trey Trey	Th-Things are getting a little dangerous… We better run!

Episode 3-12: You Can't Fool My Eyes
The Other Dimension - Sleepless Castle
Ghosts	WAAAAAAIT!
Sebek Sebek	We ended up having our covers blown, after all!
Rook Rook	But we gained some important information concerning the mirror shards in the process. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, you know.
Trey Trey	Sure doesn’t mean much if that venture gets us caught!
Rook Rook	Barn at 2 o'clock! Let's go in there and hide for now.
Trey Trey	What?!
The Other Dimension - Hollow Graveyard
Trey Trey	Is this…a graveyard?!
Sebek Sebek	H-Hey! The door we passed through just disappeared!
Rook Rook	It's such a quiet cemetery, with the full moon looking as beautiful as ever. The Land of Ghosts certainly is a fickle place. In any case, we have managed to lose our pursuers, it appears. How about we have ourselves a little sit down and rest for a moment?
Trey Trey	Rook… I'm amazed that you can just so calmly sit yourself down on the ground of a graveyard like this.
Rook Rook	Are you worried about getting dirty? Then feel free to sit on top of my handkerchief!
Trey Trey	It's not my clothes I'm worried about. It's more the idea of being averse to it emotionally…
Rook Rook	Hm? For what reason would I be averse to it? It isn't as if there's anything buried in these graves.
Sebek & Trey Sebek & Trey	There isn't?
Rook Rook	This is the Land of Ghosts, after all. Why would those whose lives have already been lost require graves? This graveyard is simple decoration… It's a little like a theater set. The sight we're seeing right now is either a recreation of a place that the ghosts have a close attachment to, or… …it could be that our own fear is making us see a creepy graveyard.
Trey Trey	I-I see.
Rook Rook	Now then, if that was enough to dispel any qualms you may have had, sit yourself down and stretch your legs. We've been walking since we arrived here, haven't we? We can hide ourselves behind the gravestones here so it's far safer. There's no way to know what troubles lie in wait for us, so it would be good to…
Sebek Sebek	…Rook, how are you able to stay this calm?
Trey Trey	He's always been like this. Man's got a heart of steel.
Rook Rook	*chuckle* You flatter me, Trey.
Sebek Sebek	No, you can't fool my eyes. Your calmness has always been unnatural since even before all this happened. And…you know exactly how long you've slept even without a clock? That's not an ability some regular person just has!
Trey Trey	I get where you're coming from, but…this is just kinda how Rook is…
Sebek Sebek	This man was the one who first suggested we head into the barn, as well. What if he's in collusion with the mastermind behind all this, and he's deliberately leading us somewhere dangerous? Answer me truthfully! If you don't…
Rook Rook	!
Trey Trey	…Sebek, put down your Magical Pen. That isn't something you point at an ally, now is it?
Sebek Sebek	An ally? I can't just trust someone who's so suspicious in an emergency situation like this!
Trey Trey	Rook is a bit of an oddball. It's impossible to tell what he's thinking, and there's times he'll just randomly look at the sky and laugh, but… …he's not a bad person.
Sebek Sebek	All you did was list reasons I should continue to be suspicious of him! The more I hear, the less I can trust him. What if he was the one who kidnapped Lord Malleus and Master Lilia?!
Trey Trey	I noticed this back when we fought with that intruder at Ramshackle, but you really tunnel vision when you get angry, don't you? Haste makes waste, Sebek. Even if you're angry, charging in without a calm head will eventually lead to you getting hurt.
Sebek Sebek	Riddle is my senior in the Equestrian Club! I order that you cease your badmouthing!
Trey Trey	I didn't even mention Riddle, though?!
Rook Rook	…I understand, Sebek. It is not so odd for you to doubt me. To tell you the truth, long ago, I…
Ghost C Ghost C	Hmm? Is this some living humans I see?
Ghost D Ghost D	So what Their Greatness said was true… You're coming with us!
Rook Rook	It appears someone wants to interrupt our conversation. Monsieur Crocodile. Can I at least rely on you to have my back for now?
Sebek Sebek	Hmph… When people say you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs, this must be what they mean. Let us call a momentary truce!

Episode 3-13: I'm a Very Ordinary High School Student!
The Other Dimension - Hollow Graveyard
Sebek Sebek	I don't care what you are. Stand in my way and I'll show no mercy!
Ghost C Ghost C	H-His intensity alone feels enough to blow me away!
Ghost D Ghost D	Eeeek, retreat, retreeeeaaaat!
Sebek Sebek	Hmph, what pathetic weak ghosts!
Trey Trey	Hey, we managed to get some mirror shards from them in the process. If what the ghosts at the castle said was true, we're now one step closer to making it to the Halloween party.
Sebek Sebek	The obstacles have been removed. Now, Rook, continue with what you were saying!
Rook Rook	The reason I can remain so calm during an emergency situation such as this is most likely… …because of something I experienced while I was still but a young boy.
Sebek Sebek	Something you experienced…?
Rook Rook	Yes. It happened near the start of one fall season when I was six years old. I just happened to wander into the depths of the jungle of the Sunset Savanna…
Trey Trey	You just happened to wander into as terrible a situation as that?!
Rook Rook	Negligence to pay attention is one's worst enemy. I ended up spending a month in that jungle all by myself. I was yet unable to use magic at that age, and I had nothing more on me than the clothes on my back… I broke apart some rocks and made myself a knife with which I then shaved the bark off some trees and made myself a shield, and cut grass to weave together into a rope. When I wanted to sleep, I covered myself in mud to hide my scent, dug out a hole in which I could use as a bed, and then used leaves as camouflage.
Rook Rook	I was stuck in a bottomless pit for 72 hours, and then clung onto a warthog who finally approached to make my escape! A day came when I had to finally confront a huge tiger that was relentlessly chasing after me. I fought with all the strength and knowledge I had! Every time the sun sank, I would take my trembling hands and mark the date, clinging desperately onto life…
Rook Rook	And then came the unforgettable October 31. Stung by some poisonous insects, I was taken down by fever, and in my fading consciousness…I saw some ghosts. I wrung forth the last of my strength and chased after them. Though I ended up collapsing by the riverside, a rescue team managed to find me, and so I was saved! I still vividly remember my kind mother cradling me in her arms as she praised me for surviving with only a grass skirt around my waist.
Trey Trey	Rook…! …That was a pack of lies, wasn't it?
Rook Rook	*chuckle* I wonder. What do you think?
Trey Trey	*sigh* I swear, you're a handful sometimes. You're always coming up with these outrageous jokes…
Sebek Sebek	You survived in the jungle…by yourself…?
Trey Trey	See, look. Sebek has no idea how to respond.
Sebek Sebek	I had no idea you had been through the same training!
Trey Trey	E-Excuse me?!
Sebek Sebek	Both myself and Silver have spent life in the outdoors as part of Master Lilia's training!
Trey Trey	First Rook, now Lilia… Are any of the people around me normal?
Rook Rook	They do say that birds of a feather flock together.
Trey Trey	Stop right there! I'm a very ordinary high school student that comes from a very ordinary household!
Sebek Sebek	Your experience does sound much harsher than what we went through, though, Rook. And at only six years old, for a whole month… I never imagined you were a fierce warrior who survived such extreme conditions by yourself… This is why you are not shaken by such events, yes? I, SEBEK, AM GREATLY TOUCHED!
Trey Trey	Sebek, you're best not taking everything Rook says seriously… Actually, never mind, you'd never listen. You're tunnel visioning again.
Rook Rook	No… There's another real reason I can remain this calm. Sebek, place your hand on my chest.
Sebek Sebek	Why? I'd much rather not.
Rook Rook	There's no need to be shy, come now!
Sebek Sebek	Whoa, don't yank me! I'm not shy, I just… Hm? Your heart is beating awfully fast.
Rook Rook	Mmhm. In truth, I am also nervous. My precious Vil and Epel have both gone missing…and what's more, I am unable to use my full strength. In reality, I am more anxious than I can express. But…I am not alone. I have Le Chevalier des Roses, and you, Monsieur Crocodile, by my side! This isn't the same as back then, where I was powerless and desperately doing all I could just to survive. If we work together, we can overcome any hurdle. My wholehearted belief in this is what allows me to remain calm in such a dangerous situation!
Sebek Sebek	Y-You acknowledge my strength that much…?! I understand! Let us make it through this trial together!
Trey Trey	…Hey, Rook. Don't tell me you can adjust your heart rate?
Rook Rook	Hm? Do you have some problem with my "heart of steel"?
Trey Trey	…I won't say any more. Just don't mess with the pure first years too much, okay?
Rook Rook	Of course! Now, let us be on our way!
Ghosts	WAAAAAAIT!
Sebek Sebek	Hm? It's the ghosts from earlier!
Ghost C Ghost C	We request that you return our mirror shards with all due haste!
Rook Rook	*chuckle* Let's show them our combined power then, shall we?

Episode 3-14: Down Below!
The Other Dimension - Hollow Graveyard
Ghosts	Ugh, so strong… *flop*
Rook Rook	We're in a bit of a rush on this trip, I'm afraid. Please do not think badly of us, my friends.
Trey Trey	I'm surprised you can call someone you just beat to a pulp your friend like it's nothing.
Sebek Sebek	Hm? There's a mausoleum over there. There might be a mirror shard inside. Let's go take a look!
Sebek Sebek	What?! This is…!
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Rook Rook	I see the Land of Ghosts decided it wanted to play yet another whimsical trick on us!
Trey Trey	I'm struggling to even be surprised anymore. Though I can't tell whether we're going up or down. Has some magic been cast to trick our vision?
Rook Rook	I'll take the lead here. Don't look down at your feet as you walk, keep watching my back. That way, we should be able to continue without getting…
???	*sob sob* *sniff*
Rook Rook	Hm? I can hear something. This sad sound is…
???	Waaah… Waaaaaaah…
Sebek Sebek	Someone's crying? Is it a child?
Trey Trey	No… This voice is…! Hey! Down below!
Deuce Deuce	I'm tiiiirrrrreeeeeeeeeed! Mamaaaaaaaaaa!
Trey Trey	It's Deuce!
Deuce Deuce	I tripped and fell and it hurts. I hate this, I wanna go home! *sob*
Trey Trey	I-I've never seen you cry like this before… Did you injure yourself really bad? Where's the pain?!
Deuce Deuce	My nose hurts… *sob*
Sebek Sebek	Your nose…? It's just a little scrape. STOP ACTING LIKE A BABY!
Deuce Deuce	Eek! Your voice is so loud it's making my ears hurt! Save me, Mamaaaaaaaaa!
Sebek Sebek	FOR THE LOVE OF... STOP CRYING ALREADY! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!
Rook Rook	Oh, what a thunderous exchange! My ears are starting to ring.
Trey Trey	Something's off about Deuce. The Deuce I know is more patient than anyone else. He's not the kind to just whine like this.
Deuce Deuce	MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Trey Trey	There's no way he'd sit crying for his mom like this!
Sebek Sebek	Gah… Stop thrashing about! Your snot's going to go everywhere!
Rook Rook	Oh no…
Trey Trey	What's wrong, Rook?!
Rook Rook	I used my handkerchief as something to sit on back at the graveyard. It's too dirty to wipe his face with!
Trey Trey	Is this really the time to be worried about that?!
Deuce Deuce	Handkerchief? You intend to shove that in my mouth so I can't cry out for help and then drag me away, don't you?! I'M SCARED! HELP ME, MAMAAAAAA!
Trey Trey	He's fast on his feet! Guess he's not part of track and field for nothing. If he gets away here, we might never find him again! Catch him!
Rook Rook	Oui!

Episode 3-15: How Much More Pathetic Can I Be…?
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Sebek Sebek	Hmph! How dare you waste our time like this?!
Deuce Deuce	Eek! *sob* Living humans are way scarier than ghosts! I'm going home to Mama!
*whooosh…*
Trey Trey	D-Deuce?
Deuce Deuce	Mmm… Trey, sir? What's wrong?
Trey Trey	Oh, Deuce, thank goodness! You're back to normal, right?!
Deuce Deuce	Ugh, there's something stuck to my eyes. They're all crispy… And around my nose and my mouth, too! What is this?!
Sebek Sebek	Tears, snot and drool, I'd imagine.
Deuce Deuce	Huh? What are you talking about?
Trey Trey	Listen carefully, Deuce. You…
Deuce Deuce	E-Everyone from school was kidnapped, and now Halloween won't end? And then…I was crying for my mom?! I have no memory of anything since going to bed last night!
Sebek Sebek	Hmph. You were all, "Mama! Mama!" How pathetic.
Deuce Deuce	There's no way I'd do something like that!
Sebek Sebek	Heh heh, this is why humans are so spoiled. "Waaaaaaaah, Mamaaaaa! Help meeeee!"
Deuce Deuce	Is that meant to be an imitation of me or something?!
Trey Trey	Hey, quit it, Sebek. And stop taking his bait, Deuce. We know that wasn't actually you.
Rook Rook	There was that white fuzzy smoke that left your body just before you turned back to normal. That was almost certainly a ghost. Monsieur Spade was no doubt taken over by a ghost that just really loved its maman!
Deuce Deuce	Huh?! I was taken over by a ghost?! Ugh, how much more pathetic can I be…? I even have Sebek laughing at me! You damned ghosts, thinkin' you can make a fool outta me… I'll beat you all up 'til you can't even float! Gonna crash your crappy Halloween party whether you want me to or not, you assholes!
Trey Trey	D-Don't go too wild, okay?
Rook Rook	From one to three, and then from three to four… Ahh, this feels far safer than before. I'm sure there's nothing to be afraid of so long as we all stick together!

Ace Ace	The ghosts are just running around screaming like headless chickens trying to get away from Floyd…
Leona Leona	I did say that we should steal the mirror shards from the ghosts as we go. But… …I said nothing about taking it this far!
Floyd Floyd	But why not~? I'm not doing anything different to when I have to deal with small fry that don't abide by their contracts. And if we end up getting surprised by the ghosts, we'll end up taken over like Lil' Crab, right? So I just thought it'd be better if we were the ones doing the scaring instead! Ya gotta be ahead of the game with this kind of thing.
Ace Ace	Scaring? This is more like threatening! You're going way too far! Literally all the ghosts have gone into hiding 'cause of you!
Leona Leona	It's not easy searching for a ghost after it's hid itself. You're just causing us way more trouble than it's worth. We could've lured them all in at once using Spikehead over here as bait, but we can't really do that now…
Ace Ace	Yeah, yeah, we could've used Spikehead as… Hang on, are you talking about me? Uh, no thanks?! Leave being the decoy to someone else!
Leona Leona	Then I'm going on ahead. You two can just figure it out by yourselves.
Ace Ace	I don't want that, either! Please don't leave me behind, Leona, siiiir!
Leona Leona	Hey, don't cling onto me!
Floyd Floyd	What's wrong, Lil' Crab? Are ya that against being with me? You tryin' to say I'm not reliable? I think I'm pretty strong, personally.
Ace Ace	I-I mean… I'm not denying that, but…
Leona Leona	Heh. I can't blame Spikehead for being hesitant.
Floyd Floyd	You what?
Leona Leona	Do you seriously not get it? Your ability is way too unpredictable. What's worse, you act according to your own whims. There's literally no way to tell what you're going to pull. You can be a bishop or a knight, but if you don't fit on the board, then you're useless. An unpredictable playing piece has less worth than even a herbivore.
Floyd Floyd	Ahah. You got guts, Sea Lion. You can be the strongest man alive, but if you don't do anything, then you're worth nothing. Isn't that the perfect bait?
Floyd & Leona Floyd & Leona	…
Ace Ace	O-Oh, what's that over there? There's totally this super weird door inside the cave. I'm so curious what it could be! How about we stop fighting and go see what it is, yeah? That's the best course of action here, right? Right?!
Leona Leona	…Tch. Well, maybe we can use your height as a ghost deterrent or something.
Floyd Floyd	You better watch yourself, Sea Lion. Might find yourself gettin' taken over while taking a nap.
Ace Ace	Ugh… Their personalities don't mesh at all. This is such a pain to deal with… I'd take our tyrant over this any day! Please help me, Dorm Leader Riddle…!
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Ace Ace	Huh? Where is this? I can see the full moon outside so this clearly isn't the inside of a cave!
Leona Leona	Don't forget we're in the Land of Ghosts. Common sense doesn't fly here. A change of scenery shouldn't be enough to phase you. It'll be your fault if you get your body taken over by a ghost again.
Floyd Floyd	There's a bunch of big machines here. It looks like they still work, but what're they for?
Leona Leona	Couldn't tell you. I don't see any ghosts right now, but… There's no telling how long it'll take for us to reach the Halloween party where "Their Greatness" is waiting. Using our magic without thinking in a situation like this would just be idiotic. We'd be accumulating Blot for no reason. We need to get those mirror shards by hunting the ghosts efficiently.
Ace Ace	Roger.
Leona Leona	Though we should probably start by figuring out just what this place is… From the looks of things, it's a lab. And judging from the scale of the equipment, quite a big one at that. It's likely that they have security measures set in place. You listening? Definitely do not touch anything around here carelessly.
Weee-wooo! Weee-woooo!
Ace Ace	Whoa, a loud as hell siren just suddenly started blaring!
Leona Leona	A security alarm? …But how did they find us? Don't tell me there's a security camera installed…?!
Floyd Floyd	Ah, I might have caused that. There was this big funny button on the wall, so I just pressed it, 'cause why not.
Ace & Leona Ace & Leona	DON'T PRESS SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
Ghost D Ghost D	Security here! What's going on?! …Ahh, more living human intruders!
Ghost E Ghost E	Capture them!

Episode 3-17: Let's Go Back to the Problem at Hand
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Ace Ace	We somehow managed to beat all the security ghosts, but… Floyd! Please don't just do random things without thinking!
Floyd Floyd	Hey, I couldn't help it. How was I meant to know that button was really a security alarm?
Leona Leona	…Entertaining you is just going to give me a migraine. Let's go back to the problem at hand. First, about the mirror shards…
Floyd Floyd	Mmk, time to test out this lever next to the button. Wonder what it does?
*clunk* Bzzzzzzzzzzzt! Bzzzzzzzzzzzt!
Ghost F Ghost F	Emergency services here! Has an accident happened?! …No, it's living humans! Capture them!
Leona Leona	What did we just say?!
Ace Ace	We're never gonna get anywhere at this rate!

Episode 3-18: This is Bad…
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Ghost Ghost	Oooh… This is unthinkable… Blech.
Floyd Floyd	So it just called more of pretty much the same ghosts? Aw man, that's boring.
Ace Ace	*huff huff* I wasn't expecting to have to fight armies of ghosts back-to-back like this… I won't be able to keep this up if we just keep letting Floyd do as he wants. Best case scenario would be us going down with them and I can't even call that good!
Floyd Floyd	This is so boooriiiiing. Maybe I shouldshout super loud and have a bunch of ghosts come running. Sounds like a way funner fight.
Leona Leona	If we let him run wild in a narrow laboratory like this, we're gonna get injured, too. Honestly would much rather make dried eel out of him, but… …Hm? This is…
Ace Ace	Leona? What are you looking at? Is there something on the table? …Wait, what's this small box? It's ticking like a clock.
Floyd Floyd	Wonder what kinda device it is. There's a square button and a triangular button on the front of it…
Leona Leona	Stop! Don't touch it!
Floyd & Ace Floyd & Ace	Wha?
Leona Leona	This is bad… This box is a powerful magic tool that will turn all living creatures in a 1km radius into stone!
Floyd & Ace Floyd & Ace	A magic tool?!
Leona Leona	Damn it, it's activated itself, too. If we don't deactivate it with the right button, everyone here'll turn into stone in a matter of five minutes!
Ace Ace	I-I wanna think you're joking, but…I've honestly never seen you this flustered before… Is this for real?!
Leona Leona	Yeah. First time I saw one of these was when I went to a Halloween party being held on a boat 'cause of family stuff. One of the passengers was wearing a necklace with a gemstone known as an Ocean's Tear. It's a legendary sapphire, so naturally, there were those after it. In an attempt to get hold of it, someone decided they'd put one of those magic tools inside the orchestra's piano.
Ace Ace	A-A party on a ship…? A legendary sapphire? Man, this is a world I have no hope of being part of. I can't even imagine it.
Floyd Floyd	Oh hey, so humans have parties on ships for more than just birthdays and wedding receptions. Why do you guys like boat parties so much? If the seas were rough, the whole thing could capsize and then that would be that.
Ace Ace	I shouldn't be surprised that merfolk would focus on something completely different to us humans.
Leona Leona	I freed the ship's captain, stole the enemy's escape boat, and then evacuated the 5000 people onboard. Finally, I had to deal with this device. I was around seven years old at that time.
Ace Ace	You were basically a baby! You'd have just started elementary school at that point! I get that you're the one and only, second to no other, great almighty Leona Kingscholar, but a seven year old protecting a whole ship by themselves? That's such a stretch.
Leona Leona	Oi. Are you making fun of me?
Ace Ace	What?! N-No, of course not! Yeah, now that I think about it, you see that kind of thing in movies a lot, huh? Where the kid agent stands up to the villain in this sudden reversal! Uhhh, so I don't really know about this kind of thing 'cause I'm a commoner, but…princes and stuff really do go through special training, huh?
Leona Leona	We do. Though even then, I couldn't decide which button to press until the last minute… Now I know for sure it was the right choice. The square button is a fake. Press that and we'll instantly be petrified. If we want to deactivate it, we need to press the triangular button!
Floyd Floyd	Hmm… …In that case, let's press the square button.
Ace Ace	WAIT, WHAT?! F-Floyd, hang on a sec!
Leona Leona	What?! No, stop! Don't do it!
*boop*
Ace & Leona Ace & Leona	UWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Ace Ace	…Huh? I'm not turned to stone…?
Leona Leona	…Pfft. Hehe, HAHAHA! You idiot. You really fell for that.
Ace Ace	Y-You're laughing… Don't tell me that was all a joke?!
Floyd Floyd	Tch… You really made me think I was in for some fun, too.
Leona Leona	Didn't take much at all for you to be taken in by what I was saying and press the square button instead… You're a hundred years too young to outsmart me.
Floyd Floyd	It really irks me that you act so chill about everything… Well, whatever. I guess that was a bit exciting. At least more than fighting those ghosts.
Ace Ace	Ugh, are you serious? Your acting was way too realistic! Feel like I'm about to have a heart attack over here! Geez, this stupid box shortened my lifespan by way too much.
Leona Leona	Hey, it's your choice if you want to pick up the box and look at it, but…be careful how you handle it. If that activates again, there's no stopping it.
Ace Ace	…Excuse me?
Leona Leona	That was the perfect story to satisfy that antsy eel, don't you think? It was easy to guess from the start that someone as twisted as him would choose the opposite button to what I was saying to press.
Ace Ace	Huh…? Huh? Then it's true that this is a magic tool? And yet you were so casual about which button was pressed… Actually, that whole story about the party on the ship, and about the magic tool that could turn people into stone… Just how much of that was fake and how much of it was real?!
Leona Leona	Who knows? I'll leave that to your imagination.
Ghost Ghost
Floyd Floyd	Oh, found a ghost.
Leona Leona	There's a door back there. Alright, let's steal whatever shards they've got and get out of here.
Ace Ace	Hang on! I'm way more interested in how true your story was than some stupid ghosts!

Episode 3-19: All the Happiness Will Run Away!
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Leona Leona	The place has changed again. Looks like a corridor this time.
Floyd Floyd	Feels kinda gross, honestly. I'm gettin' all dizzy and it's so hard to walk straight.
Ace Ace	It's just a bunch of twists and turns. It'll be bad if a ghost chooses to use this to ambush us…
Leona Leona	Yeah. Make sure you always have your guard up. Just assume that anything could jump out at any time.
???	Oooogh, you're all so late!
Floyd Floyd	Hm?
???	I was so lonely all on my lonesome here. You've all been such naughty bullies you've made me so sad…
Epel Epel	Bad! It's time for a scolding ♡
Ace Ace	Huh? What's with that cutesy-pie idol at the top of the stairs…? …Wait, no! Epel?!
Epel Epel	Bzzzzzzzt! You got both of those oh. So. Wrong. I am…the candy fairy descended from the Sugar Country, Lollipoppy, tee-hee ☆
Leona Leona	…What?
Floyd Floyd	Holy crap, this is hilarious.
Ace Ace	Usually, Epel would be the first person to fight back against having to pose and talk in such a cutesy way… Don't tell me this is…?
Floyd Floyd	Yeah, kid's definitely taken over by a ghost like how you were, Lil' Crab.
Epel Epel	Noooo, don't look at me like that! I'm getting all embarrassed. So I really am cute, right? Thankies, mwah ♡
Leona Leona	Tch… Hey.
Epel Epel	Hoyoyo?
Leona Leona	Epel. What happened to that determination you showed me during training? Why are you getting taken over so easily? A candy fairy? Stop messing around. Don't just do as some pathetic ghost tells you.
Epel Epel	Awawa, this is bad! All the happiness will run away if you make a scary face like that! I better catch it. Poke ♡
Leona Leona	Don't touch me.
Ace Ace	Holy… Epel literally just poked Leona's nose…
Epel Epel	Hmph! Prickly little children need a good telling-off!
Floyd Floyd	It was kinda funny at first, but I've seen so much of it I'm getting fed up.
Ace Ace	Epel… Don't worry. We'll end your suffering before it gets any worse!

Episode 3-20: Don't Worry Too Much About It, Yeah?
The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase
Epel Epel	Phooey, I loooost! But…I won't cry until it's all over! Make sure you come and see me again, everyone ☆
*whooosh…*
Epel Epel	…Huh? Whoa, what happened?
…
Epel Epel	What? Why're… Why're y'all looking at me like some bruised apple?!
Ace Ace	Epel… This is gonna be tough to hear, but you gotta stay calm, okay?
Epel Epel	Ahhhhhhhhh… No… No, this has gotta be some bad dream… I was taken over by a ghost and ended up acting like some cutesy idol? And what's worse…in front of this group?!
Floyd Floyd	Uh-huh, candy fairy from the Sugar Kingdom, Lollipoppy.
Epel Epel	Don't bring that name up ever again!
Ace Ace	I swear you only perfectly remember the info that people really don't want to be brought up…
Leona Leona	I can just imagine what Vil would say if he were here. "Epel, you finally perfected your cuteness!" He'd be crying tears of happiness.
Epel Epel	I-I beg of ya! Don't tell Vil nothin' of what happened here!
Ace Ace	Well, uh… Don't worry too much about it, yeah? If someone who doesn't know how you actually are saw the way you were a moment ago, I doubt they'd have thought much about it.
Epel Epel	That's not a good thing! Grr… I'll never forgive those ghosts. I'll beat 'em all up so they can never do what they want again!
Leona Leona	Our group's only gotten noisier, but…I much prefer you like this than having you push happiness into me through my nose.
Epel Epel	Nose? Happiness…?
Ace Ace	You don't want to know.
Floyd Floyd	Yeah, stop making that face already… Your happiness will escape if you don't turn that frown upside down. Poke ♡
Epel Epel	Wait, huh?! What was that all about?!
Leona Leona	Stop messing around! Let's keep going. Don't let your guards down.
