scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 1-8 "i eagerly await your arrival"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: Ramshackle Dorm

Riddle: Trey! Sebek!

Trey: Riddle!

Sebek: Curses! They escaped!

Crowley: Escaped? There was someone here?!

Sebek: A suspicious figure was snooping around Ramshackle!

Rook: Well, then… We can certainly discern that this phenomenon was intentional now.

Sebek: They attacked with magic when we were only a second from cornering them, and then… ran.

Riddle: Which means our opponent can use magic.

Rook: Did you see their face?

Sebek: Sadly, no. Their face was hidden deep within their hood.

Ace: Damn! We could’ve caught them if I’d been quicker at fetching everybody!

Trey: No, you did well.

You were super quick getting help when you realized we couldn’t handle it alone.

They must’ve sensed the Headmaster and the rest and then booked it.

Who knows what would’ve happened if Sebek and I had to carry on that fight.

Crowley: Did they perhaps leave any clues that would lead us to the culprit?

Trey: … Have a look at this.

Riddle: A card? There’s something penned on it.

~ Invitation ~

I eagerly await your arrival,

Students of Night Raven College.

Let us enjoy this Halloween party together.

Silver: An invitation…?

Leona: Where’d you find this?

Trey: Wedged in between the railings of Ramshackle’s gate.

Ace: We read that and then rushed inside, but…

…Yuu and Grim were nowhere to be found.

Man, not even the ghosts were there. Just a world of eerie quiet.

Crowley: Even Yuu-san fell victim?!

That the culprit would target that desolated rui—… that charming old establishment of ours.

I was very confident an inhabitable place like that wouldn’t come under fire, but… —oh!

Didn’t Diasomnia set up a display here during our Halloween festivities…?

I believe there was a sign that read, “unauthorized entry to this private residence is strictly prohibited.”

Was signaling that someone lives there the reason for their disappearance?

Riddle: Not only did they abduct Yuu, they left this “invitation”. It seems they’re mocking us a great deal.

Our apparent culprit is deliberately trying to provoke us!

Ace: Crap! He’s gonna burst a blood vessel at this rate! Take it easy!

Sebek: I understand exactly how you feel, Riddle-senpai!

That they’d write such a lighthearted invitation, still unsated even after committing cruelty to Malleus-sama…

They’ve no right to insult us like this!!!

I’ll find whoever delivered this crude summons and teach them a thing or two!

Leona: Heh. An invitation?

First they trap us on campus, then they summon us… someone’s getting carried away.

Crowley: Where do you suppose the venue for this ‘party’ actually is?

???: —Several biosigns detected. Now honing in!

Rook: Oh? That figure soaring our way at terrific speeds would be…

Ortho: There you are!

Crowley: Shroud-kun? What’s the problem? You ought to be at the Mirror Chamber.

Ortho: That’s the problem!

Crowley: What?!

Ortho: Everybody head for the Mirror Chamber! I’ll grab the other professors. See you there!

Silver: Wait! A suspicious figure might be lurking nearby. It’s dangerous to go it alone.

Rook: He’s right. Trey-kun’s group, if you wouldn’t mind tagging along with Ortho-kun on his search?

Ace, Trey, Sebek: We’re on it!

Crowley: Now, let’s head for the Mirror Chamber at once, everyone else!
