camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 5-5 "train harder than any feeble human"

[mandytl]

 

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Campsite

Grim: … Hey, Epel. What time d’ya think it is?

Epel: It’s already past midnight, so maybe around… two in the morning?

Grim: Still a ways off from the Headmaster’s arrival, huh.

Uuu… it’s freezin’ out here even with a fire. Ain’t we got any jackets or blankets?!

Jamil: It does get colder at night.

There should be a few extra blankets in our tents...

Grim: Just a few?! So first-come, first-served?!

I’m gonna go grab ‘em! 

Ruggie: Wait a sec. It’s dangerous to go alone. We’ve gotta move like a pack as much as possible.

Grim: Okay, but, the tents are literally right there.

I can’t take it anymore! I’m gonna catch a cold if this keeps up!

And s’not like you can talk, Jamil, when your teeth keep chatterin’ like that!

Jamil: ...Sigh. Fine.

We’re going to get blankets. Who wants to come with us?

> I’ll go.

> I’ll help you.

Epel: Oh, let me help. I want a blanket too.

And I’ll get you one while I’m at it, Ruggie-san!

Riding Club Member: I’m going too! I’ll grab a couple for our group.

Silver: Thank you. That’d be great.

Track Club Member: Me too!

Ruggie: Guess there’s nothing to worry about if this many people are raring to go.

Sebek: Hmph. Humans are such vulnerable creatures to be incapable of withstanding this cold.

Floyd: Wow, Goldfish-chan. Your lips are blue and you’re shaking like a leaf.

At this rate even your hair’s gonna turn blue. Wonder what I’ll have to call you then.

Riddle: Ghghgh… You’re impossible to stand, even in a crisis!

Floyd: Ahah. You went red. Bet that warmed you right up, huh. Lucky you.

Ruggie: Sebek-kun and Floyd-kun look totally fine, though. 

Floyd: The sea where I’m from was like, as cold as ice, so. 

Sebek: Hmph. I train harder than any feeble human would. 

Ruggie: Oh, yeah, Jack-kun. Weren’t you from up north too?

Jack: That’s right. It’s why I can stand this type of cold weather.

Ruggie: Must be nice. But man, it seriously is chilly…

Everyone: ……

Silver: … Jamil’s late coming back.

Ruggie: Maybe they’re having a hard time carrying all those blankets.

Silver: Then we should go help.

Everyone: ……

Ruggie: Looks like no one’s willing to scoot from the campfire.

Silver: All right. Then I’ll go myself. 

Ruggie: He’s so serious. What, are you not going with him? 

Sebek: Why’re you asking me?

Ruggie: ’Cause you two are always together.

Sebek: WE ARE NOT ALWAYS TOGETHER!!

We merely are required to frequently work together as Malleus-sama’s guards.

He’s at least somewhat of a more useful guard than any of those mediocre nothings sitting around the fire.

Ruggie: At least you can admit he’s a pretty strong guy.

Everyone: ……

Ruggie: Huh? Silver-kun never came back.

Neither did Jamil-kun, who headed for the tents first… about five minutes ago, huh.

Sebek: Very odd indeed.

We didn’t hear anything, either.

Ruggie: There’s no way that…

Everyone who leaves the campfire falls prey to that silhouette…?

Everyone: !!

Ruggie: Put your backs to the fire, guys, and watch your surroundings!

The dark silhouette that assaulted Vargas-sensei might try to get the jump on us!
