*Brushing sounds*
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
*Gargling*…*spit*! It’s almost lights-out time.
I think I’ve brushed enough. Lemme just rinse out my mouth and… I’m done.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Wait, Ace. Aren’t you going to brush your teeth one more time?
You’re breaking the Queen of Hearts’ 648th law of “One ought to brush their teeth twice in the evening after eating turkey.”
The dorm leader told us that enough times already.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Man, you’re so serious as usual. If he doesn’t see it, he won’t know about it. See ya.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Too bad, the vice dorm leader just saw it.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Argh, Trey! Just my luck…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Hahaha, I’ll keep quiet about it, so just do as you were told and brush your teeth one more time.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
You’re lucky that Clover was the one who found you out. He’ll overlook it as long as you follow the rules in the end.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
I get it, I just have to brush ‘em right? I swear, our dorm has too many laws that don’t make sense.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Both of you, before you start brushing your teeth the second time, please open your mouth and show me… ah.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Huh?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
There can’t be a rule on showing the inside of our mouths, can there…?
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Haha, my bad. Back at home, it’s my job to make sure that my little brothers are brushing their teeth. I spoke without thinking.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Oh, that’s it? You spooked me there, asking us to open our mouths.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
So you have younger brothers?
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
I also have a little sister.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
I see now. Must be why you’re so good at looking after others, or I mean… have a brotherly side to you, I guess?
I can’t imagine you getting angry, and you’ve always got a cool head on your shoulders around all of us.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
You think so? I’m not really consciously trying to be like that.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Deuce is right. Our demon dorm leader relies on you a lot, though.
You already know what Riddle needs when he’s just calling your name. It’s pretty incredible.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
What’s this? You’ve been sweet for a little while.
I’m not going to let you off the hook even if you flatter me. Alright, back to brushing with you.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
You caught me.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
That wasn’t what I was trying to do…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
By the way, the bristles of your brushes are pretty worn.
Isn’t it about time you replaced them? I can give you some of my spares.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Huh? Thank you very much… Haha. You’re really like an older brother.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Oh, I see. This is what you meant. I offered because it was bugging me.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
But which one’s the spare toothbrush? You’ve got a whole bunch of different ones in your hand…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
This isn’t a spare one, this is a part of one. Depending on which part you need to brush, I use another brush.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Huh, especially for that?
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
So there’s all kinds of different types of brushes outside of the regular kind, like small or weird-shaped ones.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Be it for general use or for the molars, each one has a shape for their intended usage. This fan-shaped one I use on my tongue.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
That’s just like you, Clover… You don’t miss a thing.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Man, you’re obsessed! Nobody goes this far just brushing their teeth!
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Once a tooth rots, it won’t heal anymore by itself. It doesn’t hurt to be careful.
Well, in my case my family has a cake shop, so that also plays its part.
I was always told to take good care of my teeth since I was a kid.
Thanks to that, my dental examinations have always been perfect.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
That’s amazing… I…don’t really want to go to the dentist anymore…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Then I will teach you how to brush your teeth. You don’t want to hear the drill of the dentist again, right?
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Ugh…my teeth hurt just thinking about it…
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
You’re taking Trey too seriously! How obedient can you be?! And hey, we’re not kids, you don’t need to teach us how to brush our teeth.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Brushing your teeth has nothing to do with being an adult or a child.
Our dorm has a lot of tea time, and after we eat sweets you ought to properly brush your teeth.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
You don’t sound like an older brother, but like a preschool teacher…
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
The angle of the toothbrush… should it be like this?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
You…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
If you do that, you won’t reach the gap between the tooth and the gum. The trick is making it 45 degrees.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Swo kinda wike fis? (So kinda like this?)
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Yes. That’s good. When you brush the surface of the tooth, you should hold it at a right angle.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Sigh. Are you serious…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Ace, you do it too.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
I get it. …huh? Where’s my toothpaste?
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
You can use mine.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Thanks~
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
… Hey, wait. You’re using way too much.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Huh?
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
The abrasive components can damage the enamel. You can just put a little toothpaste bit on the top of the head.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
O-Okay…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
! Deuce, you’re brushing way too hard. If you brush too much you will hurt your teeth.
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
G-Gah.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
You should brush with a light force and with small movements. You should hold it as lightly as you would hold a pen.
It may ‘just’ be brushing your teeth, but it’s still important. Laugh at it now and you’ll find yourself crying over it later.
|
 Deuce & Ace
Deuce & Ace 
|
Um, what?!
|
Timeskip
|
 Deuce & Ace
Deuce & Ace 
|
Sigh…we’re tired…
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
We’re finally done. And here I thought Clover had a nice brotherly side that took care of others…
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
I think he’s just way into brushing his teeth. He was putting so much energy into telling us what to do that it gave me the heebie-jeebies.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Okay guys, time for your final check. Open your mouths…aaah!
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
What?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Ugh!
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Haha, my bad, it’s a habit…
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
He really is just a toothbrushing geek…
|
 Deuce
Deuce 
|
Could be…
