An All-Out Bedtime Story: Chapter 1
[Location: Dining hall, night]
Snow: This story tells about a mansion that has been vacant, inhabited by not one soul for centuries....
White: Yet, rumors spread, about the lights coming from from said vacant mansion....
Mithra: ....
Snow: The reason is no other than an incident of a lost luxurious plate. And the one forced to bear the blame is a lady....
White: She is said to be still in search of the plate. Do you perhaps know why?
Mithra: Huh.... No idea.
Snow: On top of the blame she had to bear, she was cut and thrown into a well!!
White: Her grudge turned her into a wandering soul, taking captive of anyone who wanders close to the mansion.... And now, her soul....
Snow and White: ...is right behind you!!!
Mithra: Is this the end?
Snow and White: .....
Mithra: Or is there a sequel?
Snow: Mithy. This is a ghost story. You're supposed to give at least a little reaction.... Am I right?
White: You are right. This is just anticlimactic. As much as we want to end the story, we have no choice other than to continue....
Mithra: Oh, I see.
Snow: Even though we went out of our way to tell you a bedtime story....
Snow and White: Your lack of reactions killed the mood!
Mithra: What am I even supposed to do.... You're the one who came to tell me a ghost story by yourself.
Snow: Uugh.... Then let's hear your ghost story and call it a day.
White: For your information, you need more than an average ghost story to scare us.
Mithra: You're saying it's my turn?
Snow and White: Yes!
Mithra: Haa.... Well, whatever.
Mithra: This is a story I heard from a traveler when I was still a ferryman....
An All-Out Bedtime Story: Chapter 2
[Location: Dining hall, night]
Mithra: ...Then out of nowhere, a gust of wind suddenly blew, rattling the windows....
(sound of windows rattling)
Snow: ...What coincidence, the window in this room also rattled....
Mithra: ...and the lights went out....
(lights off)
Snow and White: ...!!!
Mithra: The guardian of the netherworld appeared, along with some other thousands of guardians....
(sound of a door opening)
Snow and White: Kyaaa!! The door! It's the guardian of the netherworld!
(lamps turned on)
Mithra: ...and such was a lie.
Snow and White: ....Excuse us?
Mithra: I made that up.
Snow, tearing up: But what about the wind rattling the window? The lights?
Mithra: It's my magic.
White, tearing up: What about the skeleton at the door?
Mithra: This?
Snow and White: Kyaaa!! ...Hm?
Mithra: This is merely a doll. I controlled it with magic.
Snow: So it was but magic....
White: I can't believe it's only magic....
Mithra: Haa.... That reaction doesn't sound natural at all. You must've noticed.
Snow and White: What are you talking about~?
Mithra: Haa.... Whatever.
Snow: Hohoho. That's some effort you put to scare us!
White: It's quite a mischief, coming from Mithra!
Mithra: ....Thanks.
Mithra: (I was seriously trying to kill them so I used magic. To think that they dodged it all....They're a real pain to deal with.)
Card Episode: The One Thing He's Scared of
[Location: Manor courtyard]
Akira: Mithra, do you have something you're scared of?
Mithra: Me? Something I'm scared of? How do you even come to think I have one?
Akira: Because normally, everyone has at least one thing they're scared of...
Mithra: Namely?
Akira: Ghosts....
Mithra: I can just crush them.
Akira: Scary soldiers....
Mithra: I'll crush them.
Akira: A huge wild animal....
Mithra: I'll also crush them.
Akira: Wow, you really have nothing you're scared of....
Mithra: Of course. Why should I be afraid of the things I have the upper hand over?
Akira: Then what about Oz? Since he's stronger than you.
Mithra: Excuse me? He's far from strong. I simply have to wait until nightfall and strike. I'll show you.
Akira: W-wait! I understand. So you really aren't scared of anything....
Mithra: Obviously. ...Hm? It's Rutile and Mitile. What are they up to?
Akira: They have just come back from mushroom hunting, it seems. They found a lot, it looks delicious....
Mithra: Those mushrooms are poisonous! Ah, watch out...! I have to hurry and stop them!
Akira: O-Okay!
Mithra: Both of you! Don't go and eat poisonous mushrooms like that! If you die, what about my magic!?
Akira: (Perhaps something with the Southern brothers is scary to Mithra...?)
