intemporal queen (Voice)

"Hm? The food and drinks part I get, but what's this about crafts?" Kalim asked.

"That covers arts club products: clothes, pottery, engravings, paintings, and so on. They'll be selling some and exhibiting others. We also had applications for live painting and independent films." Riddle explained.

"Ooh, that all sounds delightful!" Kalim was excited, making me smile.

"Moving on, regarding the venues for speech contests and research presentations... We plan to install three stages on campus for this event. The red stage will be on the sports field. The blue stage will be in the gym. And the purple stage will be in our largest spot, the coliseum. We are still accepting press coverage applications for all presentations, both from domestic and foreign sources, but......Mm."

"What is it, Riddle?" I asked.

"There's a musical presentation on the Purple Stage called the Vocal & Dance Championship. We've been flooded with applications from external media outlets to cover this program. To what I would call an excessive degree."

"I mean, of course. After all, Vil is participating." I pointed to the man who flipped his hair. "Riddle, you mustn't be into those things too much so maybe you don't know how famous Vil is."

"He's a highly popular figure who does everything from modeling for fashion magazines to acting in movies. When Fashion Week kicks off, he's flooded with offers from big-name brands. He held the record for runway appearances in last year's fall and winter seasons. Plus he's a Magicammer with over five million followers. All this while still a student! They say whenever he plugs a piece of merchandise, it flies off every store shelf. He's the textbook definition of an "influencer."" Azul explained.

Vil huffed "Ever the chatterbox, Azul. That's basic information—hardly worth calling attention to. Would you kindly cease your embarrassing slavering?"

"Oh, speaking of influencers—Vil's not the only one slated for VDC this year. I heard the one and only Neige LeBlanche is putting in an appearance too. It was all over online news sites a few days ago. It's no surprise that the media would be all over it." Idia said.

"Neige LeBlanche... Ah, yes. We received a registration form for him a few days ago. He's a sophomore representing Royal Sword Academy." Riddle remarked.

"Ugh." They looked at me. "It is true that Snow-white is cute."

Vil frowned.

"But Vil is the most beautiful queen!" I continued.

'I'm used to compliments. But I already knew it would be different with them.' Vil smiled.

Crowley pondered "Vil Schoenheit and Neige LeBlanche. This year's Vocal & Dance Championship will play host to two globally famous celebrities. It is no exaggeration to say that this will be the highest-profile year in the entire history of the event. Rosehearts, do make certain that you are amply prepared to avert any incidents on the day of the show."

"Y-yes, Headmage. This...is turning out to be even more of a to-do than I was expecting."

"Don't worry, rose queen. I'm always here for you." I winked at him, making him blush and thank me.

Idia sighed "I want reconfort from this UR+ character too. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here every day wracking my brain, trying to figure out how I can present my research without going up on stage... I just know if I go up there, everybody in the venue's gonna be like, "Uh, is his hair on fire?" "Is he from the Shroud family?" "What kind of creepy research is he doing, anyway?" They're gonna spread rumors like... Well, like wildfire. Uuugh, this sucks. For an introvert like me, public speaking is, like, EX difficulty."

I chuckled "Don't worry, Idia darling. You're the one who made this mask for me after all and you're a genius, I'm sure you'll find a solution."

"HP regenerated. Unlimited health."

"By the way Schatz, why are you wearing this mask?"

"Well... I was humming a song recently and didn't realize people around me were getting hypnotized by it and when I was in the residence, I was singing and was about to hit a high note which almost destroyed it..."

"Wha- Are you okay?!" Kalim panicked.

"How did this happen?" Lilia asked.

"I just got my magical voice back and it was always unstable in the beginning so I'm gonna need to rest my voice some and Idia made me this mask for more safety."

"So you can't sing." Vil looked at me.

I frowned but smiled "No but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna make sure we win against RSA!"
