Card Story: To the Mischievous You (Faust, Shino, Heathcliff, Rustica, Snow, White, Akira)
Card Episode: The Teacher’s Prank (Faust, Akira)
To the Mischievous You: Chapter 1
[Location: Courtyard, morning]
Shino and Heathcliff: Trick or treat!
Faust: ...What, you kids too?
Faust: It seems like Halloween or whatever it was the Sage told everyone about is the trend in the manor right now.
Heathcliff: Shino wanted to try it after seeing everyone scare each other and exchange sweets... Sorry to bother you.
Shino: So, which will it be, Faust? If you don’t have any sweets, then I’ll do a very special trick on you.
Faust: Goodness, what a troublesome game this has turned into. ...Here.
Shino: Yay, candy. It’s almost like you were expecting us.
Faust: I just happen to keep some with me to consume when I get tired. Once you're done playing, make sure you continue training your magic.
(Akira arrives)
Akira: Hello. I hope everyone's enjoying Halloween.
Faust: ...Sage. Are you here to ask me for sweets, too?
Akira: No, I'm just happy that you guys are participating in Halloween. I wanted to take a look.
Faust: I’m glad you seem to be having fun.
Heathcliff: ...Huh? What’s that? There’s a white sheet coming from above us.
Akira: Wah! A ghost in a sheet! Is that your magic doing it, Faust?
Faust: Do you really think I'd do something like that? And look closely, there are legs beneath the sheet.
Heathcliff: It's true. Then, who could it be?
(rustle)
Rustica: Hello, Master Sage, everyone.
Akira: So it was Rustica! Is that sheet supposed to be a Halloween costume?
Rustica: Yes, it is. I was told that Halloween is all about playing tricks, so I pretended to be a ghost.
Rustica: And here are some pastries for you. They're florentines I purchased from a store I highly recommend.
Shino: That's what I'm talking about. ...Yeah, these aren’t too bad.
Akira: Could I also have one? Thank you very much, Rustica.
Rustica: I'd be quite happy if it suits your taste. Actually, I've come here to extend a party invitation to all of you.
Akira: An invitation?
Rustica: The Western wizards have decided to hold a party for Halloween.
Rustica: Please feel free to join us, if you’d like. We will be partaking in some delicious tea and sweets.
Akira: Wah, I’d love to join!
Shino: Me too, if I can get snacks. Come on, let's go, Heath.
Heathcliff: Wait, Shino! Don't just pull my hand all of a sudden!
Shino: If we don't hurry, they might run out of sweets.
(Shino and Heathcliff leave)
Faust: I’ll pass. I’m sorry.
Rustica: Is that so? It's a pity that we won't be spending Halloween with you, but... if you ever change your mind, please know that you're always welcome to join us.
[Location: Foyer, morning]
Faust: Looks like the party will be held in the lounge. See you, Sage. Make sure you don't get too carried away.
Akira: Yes. I’ll see you later.
(sparkles appear)
Faust: ...What’s this all of a sudden?
Akira: Wah, it’s raining candy?!
To the Mischievous You: Chapter 2
[Location: Foyer, morning ]
Akira: There's candy raining down on us all of a sudden! Is this a Halloween present from someone?
Faust: Sage, watch out, something's approaching from the front!
Akira: Wah! A huge cake!?
Faust: < Satillquinart Mulcreed >
Just before the cake could hit me, Faust managed to stop it with his magic.
Akira: ...Thank you so much, Faust.
Faust: I’m glad you’re not hurt. But this magic presence...
Akira: It's a big cake, isn't it? It's almost as big as Lennox.
Snow and White: Happy Halloween!
Akira: (Snow and White came from behind the cake!?)
White: We hope we were able to give you a good surprise, Sage.
Faust: I knew it was you two. Goodness, don’t play too many tricks on the Sage.
Snow: It's Halloween, so we have prepared all kinds of cute tricks that our Sage will surely enjoy!
White: Yup. And not only is this a pretty cake, it also tastes quite good.
Faust: What you did just now didn't seem like what you would call a cute trick at all, though...
Akira: Earlier, Rustica also played a trick on me, didn't he?
Akira: This party that I’m invited to will start soon…. I'm sure someone will pull another prank when I get there.
Snow: Oh, so you will be coming as well? That makes it all the more exciting. We are on our way too, actually.
White: Then, we will let you have fun with our tricks on your way to the lounge.
Akira: Huh?!
Snow and White: Kya kya!
(Snow and White disappear)
Faust: I seriously can't believe those two... I’m given no choice; I'll walk you to the lounge. We never know what they might try to pull on you.
Akira: T-Thank you so much, please do….
[Location: Hallway]
Faust: That sure was a lot of mischief. How many tricks do those two have up their sleeves?
Akira: I never expected to be chased by sweets, but I'm glad we can enjoy Halloween like this.
Faust: ...I see.
Akira: Um, Faust. Since you've come this far, why don't you join us for the party?
Akira: I know you said no earlier, but Rustica said he wanted you to come too.
Faust: You never learn, do you? I've had enough of this Halloween for one day. See you.
(Faust starts walking off)
Faust: ...Sage.
Akira: Yes?
Faust: Have fun.
Akira: ...I will! Thank you for walking me all the way here.
Akira: (Faust is a really sweet person. I wish there was something I could do to repay him.)
[Location: Lounge, afternoon]
Rustica: Welcome to our Halloween party, Master Sage.
Rustica: ...Oh, you've become one of us wizards today, aren't you?
Akira: Huh?
To the Mischievous You: Chapter 3
[Location: Lounge, afternoon ]
Akira: One of the wizards... What does that mean?
Rustica: Fufu, exactly like I said. Is there anything you want, anything you wish to have?
Akira: Uh, then... I want to eat the sweets on that table.
Akira: Wah, the sweets are floating towards me! Is this part of your service, Rustica?
Rustica: Not at all, I haven't done anything. Maybe I helped a little, but all of this is the work of your mysterious powers, Master Sage.
Akira: My powers?
Rustica: You see, the florentines I gave you in the courtyard earlier contained the power of magic within them.
Rustica: It won't last very long, but even you should be able to use a small amount of magic for a while.
Akira: Huh?! Then, was I really the one who magically moved those sweets?!
Rustica: Fufu, I apologize, Master Sage. Consider this a little Halloween trick from me.
Akira: Don't apologize, Rustica. It’s a very nice trick.
Rustica: I’m glad you like it. Now, let us enjoy the party.
[Location: Hallway]
Akira: Good evening, Faust. May I speak with you for a moment?
[Location: Faust’s room]
Faust: Sage, what’s going on?
Akira: I got this cake for you! Happy Halloween!
Faust: …?
Akira: Huh, what's going on? That's weird, I was able to do it earlier...
Faust: What are you trying to do?
Akira: Actually, Rustica pulled a trick on me that allowed me to use a bit of magic.
Faust: Huh?
Akira: Thanks to his magical sweets, I was able to make tea and other things with magic until just now.
Akira: So I thought of giving you a cake, but... I guess I've run out of it now...
Faust: That must have been Rustica's trick.
Akira: Yes, that’s right.
Faust: ...What I mean is, the part where you can use magic was his trick.
Akira: ...Ah, so that’s it!
Akira: (...Come to think of it, was that the reason he apologized to me earlier?)
Faust: Have you tried using magic while Rustica isn’t around?
Akira: No, just now was my first time trying it.
Faust: What most likely happened is that Rustica made it look like you were using magic.
Akira: I guess that's what happened... Too bad, I wanted to make you happy by bringing you a cake.
Faust: It’s funny how you want to use that mysterious power you acquired for something so normal.
Faust: ...Sage, your hand.
Akira: ...Is this the same candy you gave to Shino and the others?
Faust: Yes, because I haven't given you some of it yet.
Faust: ...Have a nice evening.
Card Episode: The Teacher’s Prank
[Location: Hallway]
Akira: If you had to pull a Halloween trick on the Eastern wizards, what would you do, Faust?
Faust: ...I don’t see any reason why I would do that.
Akira: Well, it's Halloween, so... I'd be happy to hear it for reference, regardless of whether you'll actually do it or not!
Faust: I don't have any plans of doing it, but... Let's see, I guess I'd put a spell on their bedroom doors.
Akira: Their doors?
Faust: Yes. I'd prepare a test question, and they will only be able to get out if they solve it correctly.
Akira: I think that will take everyone a while, except for Heath….
Faust: I can imagine Shino and Nero escaping through their windows, though.
Akira: You’re right, it’s not impossible for them to escape on their brooms.
Faust: What about you? Do you have any good tricks in mind?
Akira: I haven't really thought about it, but... maybe sneaking a cat into someone’s room?
Faust: That’s a trick you wish someone else would pull on you.
Akira: Well, it’s safer than something dangerous...
Akira: Ah! Trick or treat!
Faust: Huh? ...No, I don't have any sweets with me right now….
Akira: Thought so! Then, can I do that trick I mentioned earlier?
Faust: I don't mind… But what about the ‘sneaky’ part?
Special Home Screen Line
Faust: That outfit... Did they make you wear it too? It suits you well. Just for the record, I don't need you asking any questions about mine.
