Grim: “You can see the sea from the window, and it's dimly lit in places, glowing green, which gives it a creepy vibe…”

Grim: “There were some dorms with strange mechanisms that made the stairs appear in unexpected places, and others that had lots of unusual machines…”

Grim: “And then, there were huge waterfalls, and places that looked like magnificent palaces or splendid castles…”

Grim: “All the dorms looked pretty decent, so it was worth going to see them.”

Grim: “But, having Yuu, despite receiving so much ‘inspiration’…”

Grim: “No matter what I did, it just didn't look right, and no matter how many times I redid it, I wasn’t satisfied.”

Yuu: “I rearranged it seven times...”

Crowley: “Seven times?! That's definitely going too far... Wait, so in the end, it wasn't Grim who did it, but you?!”

Grim: “Hmph. I’m the boss, so I gave proper instructions, you know.”

Grim: “So after the seventh time, I sat next to my exhausted henchman, who was asleep, and tried to figure out why I didn't like it.”

Grim: “Then, suddenly, I started to feel nostalgic for the lounge at Ramshackle Dorm, which I should have grown tired of seeing…”

Grim: “I've realized that the lounge in my usual Ramshackle Dorm is the most comfortable and the best place for me!”

Grim: “So in the end, we put back the original lounge room.”

Crowley: “I-I see. There are a lot of inconsistencies, though…”

Crowley: “It's good to realize that sticking to your usual routine is the best approach after all.”

Crowley: “Okay, let's leave the topic of redecorating here... I'd like to hear your report on the lifestyle survey.”

Grim: “Lifestyle……survey……?”

Crowley: “What…did you forget about it?!”

Grim: “I-I just remembered, so it's fine! Alright then, I'll announce the results now.”

Grim: “EVERYONE IN ALL THE DORMS ARE DOING ALRIGHT! THAT’S ALL!”

Crowley: “I see. Well, that's good! Peace is a good thing!”

Crowley: “WHAT KIND OF REPORT IS THAT?! DID YOU REALLY CONDUCT AN IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION?”

Grim: “Of course I did!”

Grim: “But everyone in every dorm was doing weird things, so I've pretty much forgotten what was going on in each one.”

Crowley: “Weird things? Like what, for example?”

Grim: “Reading out bizarre laws, settling things with fists, flying through the night sky at breakneck speed, being forced to drink hot water...”

Grim: “They would have drawn-out discussions, grin at each other over complicated and incomprehensible topics, and there was no television...”

Grim: “That’s pretty much it!”

Crowley: “What kind of vague and unclear explanation is that?! Please tell me more clearly what each dormitory was like!”

Grim: “Eh, this is getting troublesome. This should be enough!”

Crowley: “I guess I’ll just have to ask Yuu. So, what was the lifestyle survey like?”

Yuu:

“Every dormitory was unique.”

Crowley: “Unique?! So, tell me more about it~!”

“Exactly as the boss reported!”

Crowley: “You're laughing a little! Stop making fun of me!”

Crowley: “Good grief…it can’t be helped.”

Crowley: “Well, since I don’t know, that means I’m not responsible. So, no problem!”

Grim: “Nyahaha, yeah, yeah. That’s how it is!”

Grim: “Okay, now let's think about what to do with the lounge. Yuu!”

Crowley: “Huh? Why? Didn't you end up reverting to the original layout that looked better?”

Grim: “Of course, the current Ramshackle Dorm is the best. But...”

Grim: “If we level up, we can make it even cooler!”

Crowley: “Huh...? Perhaps, that was the initial problem they were struggling with…?

Grim: “What's really important when redecorating a room is maintaining the unique character of our Ramshackle Dorm!”

Grim: “This time, we're going to make the lounge unlike any other dorm—it'll be more ‘original’ to ourselves!”

Grim: “So, Yuu, it's time for another makeover. This time, let's prioritize ‘originality’ above all else!”

Grim: “I’m looking forward to having the best lounge!”

Yuu:

“Understood! Boss!”

“There is no end in sight…”

Crowley: “Ah... Um, Yuu, well...good luck~!!”

Grim: “After looking around at various dorms, I realized that our Ramshackle Dorm is the most relaxing and the best.”

Grim: “I'm going to brag about how comfortable and cool this place is and make people how jealous they are!”

Ortho: “Grim, is it really okay to set the bar high yourself?”

Deuce: “After saying that, I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks for inviting me.”

Epel: “Hi Yuu, Grim. I feel like I’m really far away from being invited!”

Jack: “Seriously……why me…”

Sebek: “Hmph, Lord Malleus commanded that I accept such a kind invitation, so I’ve come along!”

Grim: “Well then, everyone follow me~!”

Ramshackle Dorm - Hallway

Grim: “This is the hallway of Ramshackle Dorm. Look, isn't it amazing and cool!”

Jack: “Well, it doesn't look bad, but what exactly is so great and cool about it?”

Ace: “Well? I guess Grim and Yuu will explain, right?”

Grim: “What are you talking about? The guests are the ones who should be good at praising details like that.”

Deuce: “What?! Is that so? I wonder what's so amazing and cool about this hallway…”

Epel: “Ah, I’ve got one! You can walk down the hallway with big, boorish strides, and no one will complain like they do at Pomefiore!”

Jack: “That's not so much a good thing about the hallway, but rather a difference in dorm rules.”

Ortho: “According to my search…blue lingering melancholy is said to promote mental calmness. It's perfect for the overly energetic Grim!”

Deuce: “…Ah, I get it. The colors are subdued and mature!”

Grim: “Is that supposed to be a compliment...? Come on, praise our dorm even more!”

*THUD*

Deuce: “Whoa! I heard a sound from the other side of the door.”

Grim: “Yuu kept nagging me to clean up, so I shoved all sorts of things into this storage room.”

Grim: “Things like laundry left lying around, or the mountain of tuna cans I bought in bulk at Sam's store!”

*Thud….crash….*

Grim: “Hm? That sounded really loud.”

Ortho: “I’ll begin analyzing what's beyond the door. …It looks like everything you’ve piled up is starting to fall.”

Grim: “That's impossible. I stacked it up in a jiffy with perfect balance. I'll show you.”

Yuu:

“I have a bad feeling…”

“Stop!”

*Click*

*CRAAAASH*

Grim: “AAAHHH——! EVERYTHING INSIDE FELL OUT!”

Jack: “Cough, cough! What are you doing?! I can't see anything because of all this dust!”

Ramshackle Dorm - Night Party

Ace: “Because of Grim, my uniform was covered in dust. I feel refreshed after taking a shower~.”

Jack: “That's what happens when you just shove everything into the storage room without thinking about the consequences.”

Sebek: “Unbelievable. To invite guests over and then behave like this!”

Grim: “You guys are always complaining about the little things! I got you to help clean it up, so that's settled!”

Deuce: “Anyways…the lounge looks amazing and fun! Was all of this prepared for today?”

Grim: “Yeah! Together with Yuu and the ghosts, we did it for you guys.”

Grim: “Be grateful. Nyahaha.”

Ace: “There are lots of cushions, it looks like a great place to relax. I'll take this one, the fluffiest-looking one.”

Epel: “Ah, sneaky… Well then, I'll take this big one!”

Ortho: “Everyone's heart rate has increased since we came into this room. I guess that means you’re excited?”

Deuce: “They even have a huge projector. It would be fun to watch movies or play games here.”

Ortho: “Oh, that's a great idea. It's guaranteed to be a blast on a big screen! I'll go get the game console later.”

Sebek: “A game, huh... I'm not very familiar with games that use a screen like this. It's refreshing.”

Ace: “Seriously? Then Sebek might be in last place.”

Sebek: “What?! If I'm going to play, I'm definitely going to win! I'll get the hang of it quickly.”

Ghost: “Heeey! Yuu and Grimmy. I’ve come to deliver the food and drinks you asked for.”

Grim: “Here it comes! It looks delicious!!”

Epel: “Pizza, fried chicken, sweets, and juice!? Wow, it all sounds rich and delicious!”

Sebek: “Hmph, preparing food properly is quite thoughtful of you guys.”

Ghost: “It's freshly made and piping hot! Everyone, enjoy!”

Epel: “Ah, the creamy cheese…the crispy fried food…the sparkling juice…!”

Jack: “You’re getting way too emotional. Well, they all do look delicious, though.”

Ace: “Oh, I really like this snack. Can I open it?”

Sebek: “Hey, not everyone's seated yet! What a bunch of rude people.”

Epel: “But, I want to eat too. I can’t wait…!”

Ortho: “A signal is essential to start the party. Can I set off the party popper?”

Grim: “Ah, I want to try too! Don’t just do it all on your own.”

Grim: “Alright everyone, do you have your poppers? Then, let the sleepover at Ramshackle Dorm begin~!”

Everyone: “Yay!”

*Murmuring*

Floyd: “Hm? Isn’t ‘that’ about to start?”

Octavinelle Student A: “Everyone's here. Alright, let's begin today's debate competition.”

Octavinelle Student A: “The theme of this debate is, ‘Which is the more essential subject for a mage: Potions or Defensive Magic?’”

Octavinelle Student B: “Now, let me present the argument of the potions sect. Logically speaking, potions are an indispensable skill.”

Octavinelle Student B: “Being able to make a wide variety of potions means you can deal with any situation or event.”

Octavinelle Student A: “No, defensive magic is absolutely essential.”

Octavinelle Student A: “Even with excellent blending techniques, since they depend on the materials, whether or not they can actually make the most of them depends on the environment.”

Grim: “What's going on? Everyone suddenly started arguing!”

Jade: “That’s not an argument; it’s a debate competition that we hold regularly in our dormitory.”

Azul: “Previously, one of our dorm students came crying to me, claiming that another dorm student had falsely accused them of failing a potions experiment.”

Azul: “He said that he ended up admitting he was in the wrong after being persuaded by the other party during an argument.”

Azul: “If even one Octavinelle student makes such a mistake, the entire dorm will be looked down upon. Therefore...”

Azul: “To ensure that the same thing never happens again during my tenure, I made it a point to hold debate competitions as practice for argumentation.”

Floyd: “I've tried it once when I felt like it, but isn't it just too easy and boring?”

Floyd: “You can just say ‘You're the one who got the question wrong’, and they'll surrender on their own and it'll be over.”

Azul: “Indeed, when that topic came up, Floyd's opponent immediately started trembling and admitted defeat.”

Grim: “Telling someone to tremble sounds like a threat, doesn't it?”

Azul: “Taking a firm stance and pressing the issue is one approach. However, honing your analytical skills and expanding your repertoire of arguments is paramount.”

Azul: “The key to winning a debate lies in how well you can exploit the weaknesses in your opponent's arguments and block their escape routes.”

Grim: “Are you guys always thinking about things like that? You're such troublesome guys.”

*Murmuring*

Jade: “My, it looks like ‘Mostro Lounge’ has closed.”

Grim: “Wow! Everyone's brought over a huge pot! Is that...shrimp pilaf~~?!”

Floyd: “When there are leftover ingredients at ‘Mostro Lounge’, they serve them as staff meals.”

Azul: “Eating together fosters a sense of unity among the dorm residents. It also helps reduce food waste, killing two birds with one stone.”

Jade: “Okay, here you go. This is Azul's portion.”

Azul: “It’s fine, I’ll give my portion to Grim.”

Floyd: “It looks so delicious, aren't you going to eat it? Come on, come on!”

Azul: “So I heard. Yuu, you’re welcome to have some too.”

Grim: “Is it really okay to have this much...? It smells amazing... It looks incredibly delicious!”

Azul: “This isn't something we normally serve to customers, but you’re okay with this, I'll offer it to you.”

Azul: “But that's probably not enough. We have exactly what you truly want, Grim.”

Azul: “It’s this can of tuna. You can have it if you’d like.”

Grim: “A can of t-tuna?! Woohoo! I'm so happy! I'm going to eat it right away!”

Azul: “I had a dorm resident rush out to the store to buy it, so I'm glad you were pleased with it.”

Grim: “Munch, munch... Delicious! It goes really well with the staff meal!”

Grim: “If they can serve us something this delicious, maybe even the shady Octavinelle has some redeeming qualities after all.”

Yuu:

“Staff meals are delicious!”

“I have a bad feeling…”

Azul: “Hehehe... It would be disastrous if something unnecessary were reported to the headmage during the lifestyle survey.”

Azul: “I’ll shower them with compliments to put him in a good mood, then treat them to some inexpensive canned tuna, and a meal made with leftover ingredients...”

Azul: “It’s so cheap to be so pleased with such a simple service! They are the best customers!”

Grim: “I'm still going to eat! More please~!”
