scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 1-6 "there's something we'd like to tell you"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: Headmaster’s Office

Ace: Uh. W-Whoa, hold up. You mean if this keeps up…

It’s literally gonna be Halloween forever?!

Mutter mutter…

Trein: Everyone, remain calm!

Crowley: … Anyhow, we’ll have to investigate what’s happening.

Dorm leaders, stay where you are. It’s time for an emergency meeting to discuss further measures.

Everyone else is to evacuate immediately to the safest place on campus, the Mirror Chamber.

Vice leaders, if you would be so kind as to escort them.

Finally, professors, I’ll need you to search the seven dorms for any remaining students.

Professors: Understood.

Ace: Uhh… 

Crowley: Hm? What’s the matter, Trappola-kun?

Ace: Can I, uhm… is it cool if I take care of a little errand?

Riddle: Ace. Did you forget we’re in the middle of a crisis? 

Ace: I’m just... I’m kiiinda worried about how Yuu and Grim are doing back at Ramshackle… 

Sebek: A feeble human like yourself shouldn’t go it alone. Let me accompany you!

Ace: Uh. Look, I don’t need you around to babysit me or whatever.

Sebek: Excuse me?! After I was kind enough to offer… !

Trey: Come on, Ace. Don’t be mean. He’s got to be just as worried.

Crowley: As a matter of fact, I was just contemplating on who to send to check on that dorm.

I’ll leave this matter to you then, Trappola-kun, Zigvolt-kun. Though I’m not too keen on two first-years on their own, so…

Clover-kun, if you would go with them.

Trey: Yes, sir.

Riddle: Take care out there, you three.

Ace: We know, we know!

Those three exit.

Rook: Headmaster. Would it be alright if I stayed behind to be part of the discussion?

There’s… something we’d like to tell you.

Crowley: Very well. I want to hear all the details.

Jamil: I’ll leave this to you, then, Rook-senpai.

Rook: Of course. If you would lead everyone to the Mirror Chamber, Jamil-kun.

Jamil: Right. Come with me, everybody.

Silver: ……

The group leaves.

Leona: … So. What’d you want to brief us on? It’s obviously something you didn’t want to share with the whole class.

Rook: It appears you’re quite the mind reader, Roi des Lions.

… Apparently someone else would like to speak with us as well. Come on out; there’s no need to hide.

Riddle: Wha? By hiding, do you mean…?

Silver: … My presence was supposed to be completely concealed. Looks like I’ve still got a lot to learn… 

Riddle: Silver? What’re you doing here?

Silver: Forgive me. Normally I wouldn’t do something outrageous like eavesdrop, but I couldn’t stop thinking about something… 

Crowley: It appears you know something… which, you will tell us, won’t you?

Silver: … All right.

Crowley: Now, let's start by hearing what Hunt-kun has to say.

Rook: As it turns out, Jamil-kun and I noticed something strange. 

Which is… that there’s nothing peculiarly strange at all.

Crowley: Nothing strange at all… ? What exactly do you mean?

Rook: Both Jamil-kun and pride ourselves on our abilities to sense people around us.

But despite that, we didn’t notice the complete disappearance of those we pay the most attention to: the dorm leaders.

That’s what’s so strange. It just doesn’t make much sense.

Leona: Someone’s confident. … Not that you’re wrong or anything.

Ruggie said his roommates vanished without a sound, and all the others with them.

Sure, they were asleep and all, but…

It’s weird as hell that not even a single guy noticed anyone getting taken.

Riddle: Heartslabyul’s situation was more of the same.

Crowley: I see… and you, Silver?

Silver: The complete opposite.

… I heard it.

Crowley: Heard it? Heard what?!

Silver: Lilia-senpai’s scream.

Everyone: ?!

Silver: I was in bed when it happened…
