I Will Be Speaking Quickly! (Part One)

Mirror Chamber

Yes... I will use this route to lead Malleus to the Mirror Chamber for the ceremony Today.

Aha, impeccable timing. Zigvolt!

Headmage? I don't recall you having an appointment with Malleus today.

Am I not allowed to speak to my own students without an appointment?
I was hoping you would aid me in preparing for the imminent ceremony. I am running short of helpers.
There are two things I would ask of you.
The first is to escort our guests. The second is to carry chairs and desks from the Ramshackle House dorm.
Simple tasks, I daresay. Would you oblige me?

I accept. I cannot refuse a direct order from the headmage.
However, I doubt I can do all of that on my own.

You needn't worry. I have already caught three capable people to help you.
Or, I suppose I should say two people and one animal?

Myaaah! I never said I'd help!
We don't have a choice. This is our duty as students.

I would be extremely grateful if we could finish this up as soon as possible, Headmage.

Grim and [MC]? As well as the vice housewarden of Scarabia?
You provide me with two weaklings and a weasel. Pardon my probable offense, but are you certain these three are up to the task?

If you are dissatisfied, you are free to find others to help you.

Now, now. Grim and [MC] are the most knowledgeable when it comes to Ramshackle Dorm.
They can tell you where the chairs and desks are stored. Well then, good luck, everyone.

Which means we can naturally task [MC] and Grim with transporting all the furniture.

If they went alone, they would take all day. I will accompany them.

You dissin' me?!

I only speak the truth. How many chairs do you assert yourself capable of carrying?

Enough bickering. Now then, I will escort the guests. You keep them out of trouble, [MC].

I cannot keep Malleus waiting. Let us wrap this up in short order.
Lead me to Ramshackle Dorm. Now.

You can't order me around just 'cause you're big!
Ramshackle Dorm - Hallway

So this is the storage room we're looking for. We should hurry and—
Hey, careful with the door... Wait! We haven't finished cleaning in there!

Go ahead, bust that sucker open!
*bam*

Wha?! *cough* *cough* Where'd all this dust— *wheeze* It's as though this place has been abandoned for decades.

Myaha ha! That's what you get!

Grim, you little... *cough* If you keep fooling around, we will never get this finished!

Urk... Man, he's right.

  • sigh* Setting the state of the room aside, at least the chairs and desks are not as dusty.
    However, we cannot use them as they are. I will carry them out, and you two dust them off.
Gotcha! You're cool with that, right, Grim?

Mrrrgh. Fine. I'll do you a favor and grab a dust cloth. But this's the only time!

Get moving already, you.

Grrr! You're gonna pay for treatin' me like this!

There. I have finished carrying everything out for the ceremony. Are you done dusting?

Yup! Couple'a dusting savants over here! Everything's spick and span!

Now to carry them to the Mirror Chamber. With how many there are, it may take us multiple trips.
Hup!

Bwuh?! Can you seriously carry eight at once?!

Yes, this should pose no issue for me.

Yeah, well, I can do that too! With magic! Bam!Myaaah?

You're clearly stumbling. The hallway is very narrow, so it would be better to carry them with your hands rather than use magic.
Let us be on our way.
Okay, I'll grab a desk. Heave-ho...

Ah! Watch out! There are chairs stacked right next to that. If you lift it up recklessly—

Aaah! Get outta the way! They're fallin'!

Gah!
  • clatter*

Thankfully, no one was knocked out.
How long do you plan to shelter yourself under my arm, [MC]? Please move.
S-sorry... Thanks.

Leave the heavy lifting to those of us with magic. I will carry the desk, since you two cannot.
It is usually my duty to carry large objects in Diasomnia anyway.
They must really rely on you. You're so strong.

Ha ha... I train daily so that I may protect Malleus.
It is only natural that Malleus and Lilia would rely on me!
Why, just the other day, Malleus's lab coat was—

Myah! Check it out, you guys! Movin' the chairs with magic is a piece of cake!

Watch where you're going with those! You're going to crash into—
  • craaash*

Myah! Chair today, gone tomorrow... Somebody come unbury me already!

I Will Be Speaking Quickly! (Part Two)

Mirror Chamber

Headmage, we have successfully carried all the chairs and desks to the Mirror Chamber! Headmage? Where are you?

The headmage evidently has a meeting with the guests before the ceremony. We passed by each other moments ago.

Oh... Then what are we to do with all of this?

I asked him how he wanted them arranged, so I'll instruct you. *sigh* It seems we all drew the short straw today.

For serious! We're gonna be all worn out before the ceremony even starts.

Complaining will get us nowhere. Let us finish this as quickly as possible.
We can do this! Yeah!

Yes, yes. I'll now divide you up by area, so listen closely.

There. This chair should be lined up like this, correct?

Myaaah, I'll just use magic to make it nice. Gah! I can't get it to line up!

You should take a leaf from [MC]'s book and carry them with your hands—er, paws, Grim. Hm? A row of chairs is flying through the air?

And done.

Myaaah! HE gets to use magic to move the chairs! It ain't fair!

W-we don't have that level of control yet, so there's nothing we can do!
I must learn how to wield my magic more precisely as well. I constantly practice, and yet…
Oh, really? You're pretty studious.

Yes. Malleus could finish a task this simple in the blink of an eye! But I still have a long way to go.

Oof... Phew... Is Malleus really that awesome?

That's the great Prince Malleus Draconia to you!

How come HE gets a fancy title? Fine, then you can call me… ...Lord Grim, Master Mage in the Making!

If you two have time to squabble, you have time to work. I thought you wanted to finish this as quickly as possible?

We are not squabbling! I am explaining the greatness of Malleus to this disrespectful weasel!
In any case, Malleus is the best of the best. Surely you have heard how he performed in last year's Spelldrive tournament?

Myah?
What did he do? Nope, haven't heard anything.

What?!
There exist souls in Twisted Wonderland who know nothing of his relentless onslaught?
Then I will enlighten you. I hadn't yet enrolled here myself, but I watched it from the audience.
None could stand against Malleus and Diasomnia. It was a one-sided tournament.
He summoned giant mountains at his goal, protecting it from rivals.
By the end, the entire arena rumbled with peals of thunder! The skill... The majesty! He was the very image of the Thorn Fairy herself!

He created mountains and lightning outta thin air?! That's nuts!

He is exaggerating slightly. But that is more or less what happened, yes.

Oho! You're rather discerning for a human!

I did not say it to endear you to me! That's enough or your bragging. Listening to you drone on is exhausting.

But they cannot fully grasp the greatness of Malleus with a mere—

Yes, all right, we get it! Malleus is so brilliant that you constantly desire to boast about him! *sigh*
In a way, I'm jealous of how profoundly you're able to respect your housewarden.

Is it not so for you and Scarabia's housewarden?

I will refrain from commenting on that, but suffice it to say that when it comes to housewardens, it takes all sorts.

But you guys're always hangin' out. I thought you were best buds.

We have been together since we were born. It is only natural that others would view us that way.

Since you were BORN?!

Don't shout in my ear! Now what is your issue?!

I...I envy you!

You do?

I wish I could have served Malleus from the moment I first drew breath!

But Malleus is older than you, so that wouldn't have been possible either way.

Woe! Woe is me! Why was I not born earlier?!

He gets real annoyin' real fast when it comes to Malleus.
Feeling blue all of a sudden? Cheer up.

  • sigh* If we finish early, we will listen to everything you have to say about Malleus, okay? Now get to work already.

You will? Promise?!

Myah?! From bummed out to bugged out! I can't keep up with this!

Good grief. All this over some chairs and desks...
Diasomnia Dorm - Lounge

The tea is ready. By all means, speak up if you want a refill.

Oooh, this smells great. [MC], lay some sugar on me!

Let me emphasize that this is only until the ceremony begins. Factoring in travel time, we cannot stay here very long.

That is fine by me. I, too, have a duty to escort Malleus to the ceremony. Therefore, I will be speaking quickly!

He's really fired up.

I know I said we would listen to him brag after we were done, but I did not expect him to hold me to it.
He's like an entirely different person when it comes to Malleus. When admiration goes too far, the consequences can be dire.

Hm? Did you say something? No, never mind. Listen well as I extol the virtues of Malleus...
