Episode 3-1: A Pack of Lies
Lecture Hall
Halloween Week - Day 6
Crowley Crowley	Good morning, everyone… We will now… commence the committee meeting for Halloween Week…
Jade Jade	Contrary to how full of life you were two days ago, you certainly seem disheartened today.
Vil Vil	It's not just the headmaster. We have to deal with the Magicam Monsters from dawn to dusk. The whole committee is utterly exhausted.
Kalim Kalim	…Hm? You say the whole committee, but where's Malleus?
Lilia Lilia	Apologies, but he won't be attending today's meeting. Push his patience any further, and the Magicam Monsters likely will not get away with just a little scare. It appears he's aware of that himself, too. He said he wants to cool his head by himself for a while.
Kalim Kalim	It's Halloween and yet he's practically isolating himself… That just sucks.
Cater & Vil Cater & Vil	…
Crowley Crowley	As you are all more than aware, problems are continuing to flare up around the school. I have even received a complaint from a certain student…
Deuce Deuce	A complaint?
*ker-chak*
Grim Grim	Oi, oi, you lot!
Jack Jack	Yuu and Grim?
Epel Epel	Y-You guys don't look so good.
Grim Grim	We keep getting chased about both inside and outside our dorm, and it's all because of Halloween!
Choice 1: I can't even sleep properly at night.		Choice 2: My stomach's starting to hurt from the stress.
Grim Grim	Yeah! Look at how bloodshot my eyes are.Yeah, yeah! My beautiful majestic fur is even starting to fall out. You were all making Halloween out to be some big, fun event… I was looking forward to it so much… But it isn't fun in the slightest! Halloween being fun was just a pack of lies, wasn't it?!
All	...
Lilia Lilia	Certainly, we have caused you a disservice. Please, allow me to apologize.
Vil Vil	There's no need for you to apologize, Lilia. As the Halloween Committee, we simply did all we could to try and have the school event run smoothly. There is nothing wrong with us having done our absolute best to try and make both the students and the guests happy.
Jade Jade	It is as Vil says. All of us here were filled with joy at the sight of the customers increasing at first. In fact, the influx of customers itself is a result of all of our hard work. …Whether for better or for worse.
Grim Grim	Grrr…
Cater Cater	"Have you already been? The best Halloween spot, Night Raven College!" "Definitely can't miss this! The best Halloween Week at Night Raven College!" A ton of digest articles have started popping up, and Magicam is just filled with people talking about NRC. People are even starting to say that if you don't go to NRC, it's practically the same as not experiencing Hallowen at all. There's two more days left, including today. I imagine the number of guests won't stop increasing.
Azul Azul	In other words, the Magicam Monsters are going to continue flooding in.
Epel Epel	It was already hard enough dealing with them. You mean it's going to get worse?!
Idia Idia	Just kill me now…
Jack Jack	I'm actually starting to get a little afraid of the 31st.
Vil Vil	…This isn't the time to start complaining. We need to deal with the Magicam Monsters if we want tomorrow's party to commence safely…
*ker-chak* Big troubleeeee!
Crowley Crowley	…
All	…
Crowley Crowley	How many times have we seen this now? I feel nothing but dread… Ahem! Ramshackle Ghosts, care to tell us just what has happened?
Ghost A Ghost A	The… The… The statues of the Great Seven aren't looking so great!
All	WHAT?!
Crowley Crowley	Th-The Great Seven?! We'll postpone this meeting for now! Let us get to the main street immediately.

Episode 3-2: If Only This Was All a Dream
Vil	Th-There's no way…
Cater	I'm not dreaming, right?
Jade	I cannot fault you for doubting the sight is real.
Crowley	The statues of the Great Seven are…
Main Street
Crowley Crowley	The statues of the Great Seven have all been knocked down! Wh-Who would even think of doing such a terrible thing to the statues of such reverent figures?!
Ghost A Ghost A	They were already knocked over when we went on our morning patrol…
Jack Jack	So we don't even know who the culprit is?!
Cater Cater	… …Mmkay, found them ♪
Crowley Crowley	What?
Cater Cater	Look at this post on Magicam. "We're the Great Seven ☆ #Emotional #SoMajestic! #HelloNRC #HappyHalloween"
Crowley Crowley	Th-Th-This is…?! Why are there people standing where the Great Seven statues used to be?!
Cater Cater	They probably shoved aside the statues that were in the way of them pretending to be the Great Seven. They even went to the lengths of posing just like them! It's impressive, in a way.
Deuce Deuce	How did you find the culprits so quick?
Cater Cater	I just looked up "Great Seven" and "Halloween" on Magicam and it was one of the first results. Judging from the time it was posted and how dark the surroundings are, they probably snuck in during the night.
Lilia Lilia	Do they even realize they're admitting to a crime? These Magicam Monsters really have no understanding that what they're doing is bad.
Crowley Crowley	This… This is… This is so horribly devastating… Such a thing has never happened in my whole time of being headmaster! To think a day would come that I would have to witness the statue of the Fairest Queen face-down on the ground like this. Ohh, if only this really was all a terrible dream.
Vil Vil	… I knew of the Fairest Queen since before I could even read. My father read picture books to me that told of all of her accomplishments. The Queen's assiduous spirit was what allowed me to get to where I am today. Seeing that be completely trampled upon… I can't even find the words!
Kalim Kalim	I'm the same. The Sorcerer of the Sands was smart and always helped those in need. I've been working hard every day to become as reliable a person as he was!
Idia Idia	Honestly, is there even anyone at this school that doesn't look up to the Great Seven in some way? There isn't, right? And yet, they messed up the statues and ran away. They shouldn't be surprised if they get what's coming for them.
Azul Azul	If only those people had even a drop of the Sea Witch's compassion. This is unforgivable.
Grim Grim	They're all in shock from this. They did say our school was filled with people who look up to the cool Great Seven, after all, so I guess it makes sense…
All	…
*step step*
Trein Trein	This is horrible…
Ace Ace	Are you kidding me on?! The last time something happened, they just got a little burnt! We didn't knock the whole thing over!
Grim Grim	Oh, it's the teachers and the other non-committee members.
Trein Trein	Knocking down the statues of such revered figures… This is a disgrace to the face of our own school!
Crewel Crewel	Which stray thought it smart to knock over such precious statues of the Great Seven?!
Vargas Vargas	You'd need some impressive muscles to knock down statues made completely of stone… We must find and capture such a dangerous criminal!
Ace Ace	Yeah! Drag the culprit out already!
Sebek Sebek	Let's show them just what happens if you dare look down upon Night Raven College!
*chatter chatter*
Ghost A Ghost A	The culprit…

Episode 3-3: That's Definitely Not True
Main Street
Ghost A Ghost A	The culprit of this mess is…
Ghosts	… …us.
Trein Trein	…What did you just say?
Ghost A Ghost A	If we just hadn't uploaded that photo to Magicam… …then such troublesome humans wouldn't have come to visit, and the Great Seven statues wouldn't be ruined like this.
Ghost B Ghost B	To be honest, we were really excited at having Yuu and Grimbo join us at Ramshackle, so much so that we thought this year's Halloween would be even more fun than any before.
Deuce Deuce	And that's why you worked so hard to make Yuu and Grim their costumes…
Ace Ace	So you just wanted everyone that's part of Ramshackle Dorm to be able to enjoy Halloween together, yeah?
Ghost C Ghost C	Yeah. That's what we wanted, but…
Grim Grim	You guys…
Ghost C Ghost C	And yet we were the ones that put it all to waste! What idiots we are!
Ghost B Ghost B	We should never have started Magicam!
Ghost A Ghost A	We're the culprits who ruined this Halloween. We're entirely at fault.
Ghosts	We're really sorry, everyone.
All	You guys...
???	Now hold on.
Cater Cater	That's definitely not true.
Ghosts	Huh?
Trey Trey	Cater, what's wrong? It's not like you to say something against everyone like that.
Cater Cater	Don't get me wrong. I don't really want to say anything that makes it look as if I'm just not reading the room, but… I don't like seeing everyone look so depressed, either, so I thought I'd better say something. The only thing you ghosties did was upload a Halloween photo to Magicam. What about that is wrong? Everyone here is always happily using Magicam. It's the same thing.
Trey Trey	…Yeah, he's right.
Ace Ace	It's true. I'm always putting up selfies or photos of strange things up on Magicam.
Cater Cater	Right? And about you saying that you should never have started using it… Thanks to you, a lot of people have been given happiness because of your photo. Here, look at this.
Ghost A Ghost A	Your phone? Is that… Magicam?
Cater Cater	"Night Raven College's Halloween was so much fun!" "I'm so happy I got to see so many ghosts. Even if we can't see them, I'm sure our family ghosts have come home, as well." "The Sage's Island is quite a distance away, but it's a really nice place! I wanna go back next year, too." …See? Everyone in these photos have the hugest smiles on their faces! And it's all thanks to you guys ♪
Ghost B Ghost B	…!
Cater Cater	There are those who really do just want to enjoy Halloween, and others who want to take mysterious photos. Everyone has their own ways of thinking. Isn't it a little absurd to think you could come to an understanding with everyone you meet? The more people that gather, the more people there are that you can't see eye-to-eye with. Whatever the cause of that gathering, it's always the same. So honestly, I don't really think this commotion is because of you or Magicam.
Ghosts	*sob* Thank youuuuuuu!
*whoosh*
Ghost A Ghost A	*wail* I want to hug you but I just go right through you!
Cater Cater	I-I'm happy so long as you're happy.
Vil Vil	It's true that this isn't the time to be playing the blame game.
Jade Jade	And regardless, all we have in our possession is a photo of them climbing onto the bases of the statues. There is no definitive proof that they destroyed them. We do not really have enough to accuse the Magicam Monsters in the first place.
Riddle Riddle	But to be spending Halloween with such unpleasant feelings…
Leona Leona	Tch. I'm not content with this.
Jamil Jamil	I refuse to forgive the Magicam Monsters, too. But we have to be patient for the sake of the party.
Grim Grim	They all look so troubled.
Crowley Crowley	…
Staff	…
Grim Grim	Hm? All the teachers are lookin' kinda scary, too.
Staff	…
Crowley Crowley	The Halloween party originally planned for tomorrow, October 31st… …may have to be cancelled.
WHAAAAAAAT?!

Episode 3-4: Plan How To Move Forward
Main Street
Crowley Crowley	The Halloween party originally planned for tomorrow, October 31st… …may have to be cancelled.
WHAAAAAAAT?!
Grim Grim	B-B-B-But why?! The party's the part I've been looking forward to most! Why's it gotta be cancelled?!
Vargas Vargas	We have taken various measures to aim to try and handle this all amicably. But if even that does not get through to them, then…
Crewel Crewel	Say the troublemakers don't damage the statues next time, but hurt one of you here instead. Then what would you do?
Sam Sam	A fancy party is practically bait for Magicam Monsters.
Trein Trein	Unfortunately, for your safety as well… …it is simply unthinkable to approve of a party being carried out amidst all this chaos. As the adults here, we must take the actions that protect you children, even if those actions make us hated.
Kalim Kalim	Professor… Sam…
Crowley Crowley	Precisely. Thankfully, we are all Mages. We can fix the statues of the Great Seven easily. However, should anyone be injured, we would have no choice but to contact the police. If that were to happen… Oh, I don't even want to think about it! Ahem! Anyway, we must avoid any more trouble.
Vil Vil	All the professors give such a dependable aura, and yet something about the headmaster always feels a little off…
Jade Jade	Perhaps he has some secret that he'd rather the police didn't discover?
Deuce Deuce	B-But we've put so much effort into preparing for this week.
Epel Epel	And everyone was really looking forward to the Halloween Party!
Jack Jack	Won't this disappoint everyone who comes to the Sage's Island every year especially for the party?
Grim Grim	Right?! I don't want to miss out on such yummy-sounding food!
Crewel Crewel	I understand how you feel, but…
Sam Sam	What're you gonna do, Headmaster?
Crowley Crowley	…How about we have a discussion amongst us adults, hm? This is a very difficult problem. We should plan how to move forward from here with the students' safety in mind first.
Choice 1: If the problem is resolved, can the party go ahead?		Choice 2: If safety returns to the school, can the party go ahead?
Crowley Crowley	Hm? Well, yes, of course.
Trein Trein	Headmaster, let's hurry to the staff room. We have to gather the other staff, as well.
Crowley Crowley	Yes, yes, I'm coming!
*step step step*
Grim Grim	And they're off… So what're we supposed to do now? At this rate, the party's gonna be a goner!
Azul Azul	*chuckle* You're a rather crafty one yourself, Yuu.
Grim Grim	Huh? Wait, what did they say?
Jade Jade	Did you not hear what the headmaster said? Should the problem be resolved and the school becomes safe once more, the party can go ahead as scheduled. Now, call your mind back to what Cater has said. The cause of all this trouble is not Magicam or the ghosts.
Cater Cater	Yup! The source of all this…
Cater & Vil Cater & Vil	…is the Magicam Monsters!
Jade Jade	Indeed. So naturally, all that is left for us to do is to chase out every last one of them. The completion of such a task will return peace to the school, meaning the party could continue.
Sebek Sebek	Hah. Then it's simple. Let's close off the school right this moment! Chase out everyone who came from outside!
Leona Leona	You Briar Valley lot are some real shut-ins, aren't you? Is it cause the king's such an introvert?
Sebek Sebek	What did you say?!
Lilia Lilia	Sebek, my dear… Think about what you just said. Is it so strange that Leona was taken aback by your words? The guests of honor during Halloween Week are the guests. We are simply the hosts of the party. If we have no guests, then what point is there in the party?
Deuce Deuce	I wouldn't feel right chasing out the guests who are following the rules, honestly.
Epel Epel	But how are we supposed to tell the difference between the regular visitors and the Magicam Monsters? You can't really tell them apart through appearance alone. Doesn't that mean we can't chase out just them?
Vil Vil	Magicam Monsters are essentially those that refuse to listen to what we're saying. Which means telling them apart will be simple. Everyone should make their own warning signs.
Deuce Deuce	Warning signs?

Episode 3-5: We Must Be So Very, Very Careful
Main Street
Deuce Deuce	Warning signs?
Silver Silver	…Oh! You mean like the signs you have up in the Mirror Chamber?
Vil Vil	Exactly. Have signs that clearly state rules that shouldn't be broken like we and Diasomnia have done.
Jade Jade	We can deem anyone who breaks those rules a Magicam Monster.
Epel Epel	That makes sense. And then we just chase them out, right?
…Hell yeah! We'll pummel them right out the school!
Idia Idia	Whoa, whoa, there's only so much you can wave off as being this imaginary security system at work. Our opponents aren't that stupid. If we get caught using our magic, we're the ones who're gonna be in trouble.
Cater Cater	Yeah, you're right. No matter how much trouble they're causing… …we aren't magic enforcers. It's absolutely off-limits for us to use magic on regular citizens. If we get caught, we're gonna be worrying about a lot more than just the Halloween party. The whole school's gonna be hammered by society!
Deuce Deuce	Then…what about we use our fists?
Ace Ace	Y'know, a fight's still a fight. Police'll be called, regardless.
Grim Grim	So we have to chase the Magicam Monsters out without attacking them? Is that even possible?
Hmmm…
Floyd Floyd	Ahahahahahahaha!
Riddle Riddle	…Floyd. Everyone here is being serious. Just what are you laughing about?
Floyd Floyd	I mean, just look at you all with your funny faces, thinkin' so hard about this. Why are you making it so hard? There's nothin' difficult about this, at all. You're all so weird.
Jade Jade	*chuckle* Floyd, it's not polite to laugh.
Azul Azul	You're laughing, too, Jade.
Jade Jade	Oh, do excuse me.
Vil Vil	…What? You're being creepy.
Azul Azul	*sigh* I would ask you all to remember what you've been doing to force out such troublesome customers until now.
Idia Idia	Not like having to force someone out is exactly a daily occurrence…
Azul Azul	Oh, that's true, isn't it?
Jade Jade	Then let's take a different approach. Imagine a block of flats. Many contracts state that the landlord cannot force out the tenents without a valid reason. In which case…if you want someone gone, you just have to make them leave of their own volition.
Riddle Riddle	You force them to leave of their own volition? As in, by having them sign a different contract with better conditions?
Kalim Kalim	Oh, I get it! We eat yummy food together and talk it out, yeah?
Ruggie Ruggie	*sigh* Of course this is what the rich kids would think. Do those smirks look like the faces of landlords who would evict troublesome tenents with such polite methods? Obviously they mean something crueller. You make them go through a bad time so horrible they no longer want to be there.
Azul Azul	Ah, wonderful, Ruggie. You're absolutely correct.
Jade Jade	Scary. Dangerous. Horrible. Creepy… Should humans feel such emotions about someone or something, they tend to keep their distance. Magicam Monsters should be no exception to this. Take this as an example. To be very clear, this is a hypothetical. Nothing more, nothing less. Say that at our Night Raven College, we didn't have a cute little Monster like Grim, or charming ghosts like the Ramshackle Ghosts... But in reality, we had terribly frightful ghosts, instead. Could the Magicam Monsters remain so obsessed with this idea of "Magicammability"?
Vil Vil	True. Should such ghosts hypothetically exist, I would want to leave the school as soon as I could.
Jade Jade	Naturally, such frightful ghosts do not exist at our fun, safe Night Raven College. However…there may be those that misunderstand. We are currently going through Halloween Week, after all. It is the season that spooky ghosts wander to the world of the living. And we… …as you can see, are all in the visage of ghosts. We must be so very, very careful that we do not cause any unfortunate misunderstandings.
Jamil Jamil	…You know, now that you mention it, I can see how people might make that mistake.
Leona Leona	*chuckle* How shameless. I like your style.
Idia Idia	Hee hee. We really do need to take much better care.
Grim Grim	Hmm… I get it!
Deuce Deuce	In other words…
Grim & Deuce Grim & Deuce	…what are we doing?
Ace Ace	Are you serious?! Don't act like you get it if you don't.
Cater Cater	What we're trying to say is that we need to pretend to be scary monsters. We'll scare the Magicam Monsters right out of the school!
Choice 1: Nice idea!		Choice 2: I see…
Cater Cater Ace Ace	Yeah, I think so, too ♪Are you telling me you didn't understand, either?!
Vil Vil	The party will be held tomorrow, on the night of the 31st. If we want to put our plan into motion, we have only tonight.
Rook Rook	*chuckle* A night hunt, you say? Ahh, my arm's already tingling.
Vil Vil	Everyone, do listen closely. "We're doing some ghost practice to make sure tomorrow's Halloween can be as exciting as can be." That is all that we're doing.
Lilia Lilia	Kufufu. I cannot promise I won't hold back during said practice… But that is simply the beauty of youth.
Vil Vil	Right. And this is our own secret practice. Do you understand?
All	Yeah!
*step step step*
Crowley Crowley	Whew… The discussion between the teachers is only becoming more and more convoluted. We're doing all in our power to even slightly increase the chances of putting on the party... …but at the moment, we have no choice but to wait and see how things are looking tomorrow morning before we come to a final decision.
All	Yes, sir!
Kalim & Azul Kalim & Azul	Understood!
Lilia & Idia Lilia & Idia	We have no problem with that!
Vargas Vargas	…You're all taking this rather well.
Crewel Crewel	Don't tell me…
Cater Cater	Whaaat?! You're so mean, Professor. We're always such honest, good kids, aren't we? ♪
Jade Jade	Everyone is taking the gravity of the situation very seriously.
Vil Vil	All we can do is pray that the Halloween party will be able to commence without issue…
Trein Trein	… Allow me to repeat this. You must wait for our orders. Do ensure you do nothing out of order.
Crewel Crewel	Come on now, Professor Trein. I understand that you're worried for the students. But there's no need to look at them with such suspicion. They may usually be naughty pups, but they're just excited to enjoy Halloween. Of course they wouldn't cause problems the day before Halloween! Let us teachers go out in force today to assist with dealing with the guests. If we do, then the puppies… …will surely be able to relax their minds…and their schedules. Right? You bad boys.
Jade Jade	*chuckle* Yes, sir. We appreciate your cooperation.
Cater Cater	Oh, it's almost ten. The visitors will start entering the school soon, so we should get to our stations ♪
Vil Vil	I'm sure you all know what we need to do. Let's bring our precious guests a Halloween they won't ever forget!
Yeah!
