I hope you all enjoyed that little Birthday special chapter made out for Kanzaburou. It seems as if that chapter specifically has touched some hearts, maybe even made some of you all teary eyed? I love their dynamic, perfect. Also I wanna say it took me a long to think, and by a long time I literally mean only one day, but I have decided to add Rollo Flamm as a love interest. Yes yes I know I am extremely kind, please no need to thank me. Now moving on from that bit of news, I bring you the next chapter and soon enough it'll be Overblot time. Which also means, this chapter will soon be coming to an end, but on the bright side, we go to Pomefiore! Well enough said, remember to enjoy and happy reading!

"I uh I've got a younger brother and a younger sister, I would like it if you would come over and meet them sometime. I...I mean if you want that is! This...this is just for them, they just want to meet some of my friends that's all..."
~ Jack Howl 🐺
"Seriously? Why even ask for advice if you're gonna immediately reject it?! What's your issue with my suggestion, anyway?" Grim exclaimed as he glared at Jamil.
"The Viper family has assisted the Asim family for generations. How could I betray our history like that? It would be beyond the pale. Not to mention the lecture I would get from my parents..." Jamil explained before soon letting out a sigh. "I'm sorry, but it just wouldn't be right."
"Hm, I guess you make a good point..." (Y/N) said as she gave the male a small nod.
"Ok, I get why you can't challenge Kalim to a duel. But if the Dorm leader keeps acting like this, he's gonna make life totally miserable for everybody in the dorm." Grim said as the other Scarabia students nodded in agreement. "Riddle was bad enough, but this hot and cold thing Kalim's doing is making it way worse."
"Heartslabyul was sure eventful..."
"Yea. He's not acting like a Dorm leader at all!" The blonde haired Scarabia student exclaimed.
"He's not even meeting the job requirements. This goes against our Scarabian spirit!" The purple haired Scarabia student added.
"What do you mean by Scarabian spirit?" The female questioned as she stared at the student with a hint of clear confusion written on her face.
"There are actually requirements for a Dorm leader position?" Kanzaburou said.
"Yes." Jamil said as he gave them a small nod. "A sense of keen mindfulness, a quality attributed to the Sorcerer of the Sands. And to be Dorm leader of one of Night Raven College's seven dorms, you must be the most befitting of the dorm's spirit."
"I see..."(Y/N) mumbled.
"Anything less and you are unqualified to be Dorm leader. Dueling is essentially an easy way to determine this. The seven dorms each have their own different spirits, and their own ways of determining who befits it." Jamil explained as the female listened to his words intently. "For example, tradition in Pomefiore states that the Dorm leader is whoever can make the most potent poison."
"Gah, that's nightmare fuel! So how did Kalim get picked to be the head honcho of Scarabia?" Grim questioned.
"He was nominated by the previous Dorm leader. Through his prior work and virtues, he cultivated a reputation as the most befitting in the dorm." Jamil said before soon giving them a small smile. "I'll never forget how proud I was at his nomination."
"But he wouldn't have half that record if you hadn't been helping him! Everybody in the dorm knows it." The blonde haired Scarabia student said with a frown now clearly evident on his face.
"Why didn't the last Dorm leader choose you instead?!" The purple haired Scarabia student exclaimed.
"Don't blame him. For a relative of the Asim family to choose me over the main house's heir would be..." Jamil said before his eyes widen in realization. "Ah!"
"Seriously? Again with this Asim family stuff?" Grim said now soundly clearly annoyed.
"Well for important reasons I suppose..." (Y/N) mumbled as she continued to listen on.
"A master and servant..."
"So that's what was going on. I had no idea. That sounds like blatant nepotism!" The blonde haired Scarabia male exclaimed.
"Man, the Asim family plays way too dirty!" The purple haired Scarabia student angrily said.
"This...won't be good..." (Y/N) mumbled before letting out a small sigh.
"Please, I implore you. Forget what you just heard." Jamil said.
"Night Raven College is known as a big name university precisely because it's a meritocracy. Getting special privileges because of your parents is something that shouldn't fly here!" The blonde haired Scarabia student argued.
"He's right, Vice Dorm leader. We won't stand for this!" The redhead Scarabia said as he nodded in agreement.
"Social status and wealth aren't supposed to matter here on campus. We're all supposed to be equals!" The purple haired Scarabia student added.
"But, ah..." Jamil said before soon trailing off a bit as he looked over at the clearly angry students.
"Scarabia is a dorm built around the Sorcerer of the Sands' spirit of mindfulness.
I've always felt that someone thoughtful like Jamil deserves the seat of Dorm leader way more than Kalim." The silver haired Scarabia student said.
"Slow down. I'm not special or superior to anyone else. My grades are dead average. On a scale of one to ten, mine are fives across the board. I'm not fit to be Dorm leader." Jamil said as he tried to argue with them.
"Magical talent isn't what decides who befits the dorm's spirit." The silver haired Scarabia student said.
"What do you guys think?" The redhead male questioned as he looked at the rest of the students. "Who's the most suitable Dorm leader out of everyone here?"
"Oh, it's Jamil, no question!" The blonde haired male said.
"Yea, Jamil is way more fit to be Scarabia Dorm leader than Kalim!" The purple haired student agreed.
"Heh..."
"So much for a quiet meeting...."
"We can't just accept an incompetent Dorm leader because he was born into a rich family!" The blonde haired student exclaimed as a few others now nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Scarabia's got no use for a leader who can't lead!" The purple haired student said.
"Scarabia won't suffer an incompetent Dorm leader!" They all exclaimed in unison.
"What are all of you doing, gathered together at this hour?" Kalim said as he now stood before them.
"Gah! Busted!" Grim exclaimed.
"What did you expect would happen with all that yelling?" (Y/N) said as Kanzaburou nodded in agreement.
"So much for the tea..."
"K...Kalim..." Jamil said as he now stuttered a bit.
"Morning training clearly wasn't enough for you, if you still have energy to burn. Jamil! Take the students out to the courtyard this instant." Kalim angrily said as he glared at everyone.
"The courtyard, sir?" Jamil said.
"We'll do magic training until their bodies give out." Kalim said.
"That's ridiculous!" The blonde haired Scarabia student said as he stared at Kalim in disbelief.
"I dunno about you, but I'm already way past my limit!" Grim exclaimed.
"Well, we're not magic." Kanzaburou said.
"Well, except for Grim..." (Y/N) said as she glanced at him.
"Do I need to repeat myself? Hurry up!" Kalim yelled.
"....Fine." Jamil said now letting out a small sigh before soon ushering everyone to the Courtyard. "Come on, everyone. Out."
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
After a long while spent at the Courtyard training, the trio were now brought to their room.
"Uuugh... I'm wiped out. I can't walk another step..." Grim groaned as he laid on the floor feeling exhausted.
"The students here won't be able to handle any more of this." (Y/N) said as she looked over at Grim and Kanzaburou. "We need to get out of here."
"I'm at my own limit too, you know! I don't wanna spend another second in this prison.
I'm pooped and ready to pass out, but I've still got my trusty spoon. I'm gonna finish digging that hole tonight!" Grim exclaimed before he soon started to dig once again.
"That's some determination."
"Whoa! Hey, look you guys. The hole finally reaches the other side of the door! I couldn't get it too big, but hey. They say as long as you can get your head through a hole, the rest follows easy enough."
"I think you mean shoulders through..." The raven haired female said.
"I'll admit, I'm impressed." Kanzaburou said as he gave Grim a small smile.
"I'll go through first and pull you through second and soon after. Now, let's get this show on the road!" Grim said as he went through the hole now waiting on the pair.
"Ok..." (Y/N) mumbled before looking over to Kanzaburou who walked over to the hole. "Want to go through first? Go ahead."
"No, not really." Kanzaburou said as he glance over at the hole and then at the door. "Hey Grim, step out of the way." He said before Grim soon quickly moved out of the way from the other side.
"Kanzaburou?" The female questioned.
"What are you-" Grim said but was soon cut off by the sound of the door being kicked down.
"And we're done." Kanzaburou said as he smiled a the sight before looking back at the now shocked female. "Go right ahead Tomioka sama."
"Thank you." (Y/N) said as she walked out of the room with Kanzaburou following behind.
"Y...you broke the door..." Grim stuttered out as he stared at the door in disbelief. "If you planned to do that, why didn't you tell me?!"
"Tomioka sama said she wanted to escape so, there's your answer. Besides, you looked very determined when digging." Kanzaburou said as he smirked at Grim. "I didn't wanna be the one to ruin that."
"Why you-" Grim started off but was soon cut off by (Y/N).
"Ok that's enough. It doesn't matter how we got out all that matters now is we're no longer in there." (Y/N) said.
"Right, let's get back to Ramshackle Dorm while we can. Just gotta be nice and quiet..." Grim said when suddenly a loud growl came from his stomach making everyone's eyes widen.
"If they didn't hear the sound of something breaking, they'll definitely hear that." (Y/N) said.
"Mrow!? Ah, crud! I was digging so hard there, it made me hungry..." Grim said.
"What was that earth shaking noise just now?!" The blonde Scarabia student exclaimed.
"It came from the Ramshackle students' room!" The purple haired Scarabia student immediately said.
"Whuh oh. We're in trouble now!" Grim exclaimed.
"Well...we were a bit loud..." Kanzaburou trailed off as he looked back out the hole and broken door.
"What do you think you're doing there?!" The blonde haired Scarabia student questioned.
"Myah, they found us!" Grim exclaimed.
"It was only a matter of time..." (Y/N) sighed. "But I don't wanna go back to prison..."
"What are you doing outside?! I know we locked that door tight!" The purple haired Scarabia student questioned.
"Ah! There's a hole in the floor and now you've broken our door!" The blonde haired Scarabia student exclaimed as he stared at the sight before him with wide eyes. "You really don't know when to give up, do you?"
"We've got runners! After them!" The purple haired Scarabia student exclaimed as he blew a whistle and soon enough more students came over now running after the trio.
"If they catch us, it's back to the life of a prisoner! Cheese it!" Grim exclaimed as he ran off with (Y/N) and Kanzaburou.
"After them! After them!" The students all shouted in unison.
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
"Let's duck into a random room and let them pass us!" Grim exclaimed before the trio soon decided to hide inside a random room, quickly shutting the door behind them.
"Where'd they go? Split up and find them!" The blonde haired Scarabia student said.
"Show yourselves, street rats!" The purple haired Scarabia student shouted and soon enough, the sounds of the footsteps eventually faded.
"Phew...I think they're gone." Grim said as he let out a relieved sigh.
"Street rats? All of us, including Tomioka sama..." Kanzaburou said before soon frowning a bit. "Tomioka sama isn't a lowly street rat..." He mumbled.
"It's alright Kanzaburou..." (Y/N) said as she let out a small sigh. "It's only a matter of time before they find us."
"Man...there's gotta be some way to lose those guys! What room is this, anyway? It's too dark to see anything." Grim said as he soon felt something like him. "Hm? Why's there something soft and fuzzy nudging my face?Heheh, that tickles! Hey (Y/N), use that phone of yours to give us some light."
"Alright." The female nodded as she then used her phone to shine some light on where they were at.
"Whoa, geez! You scared the daylights outta me! I was about to scream and everything." Grim exclaimed as he stared at the carpet with wide eyes. "This is Kalim's treasury, huh? They don't lock up the treasure? Ooh, that's it! If you help us, we can shake off the patrols and get outside!"
Upon hearing his words, the carpet looked at the trio rather confused.
"Hey, carpet! I'll let you out if you carry us outta the dorm!" Grim said as the carpet looked excited when hearing about leaving. "Great. Now let's go you guys, all aboard and goodbye Scarabia!" Grim happily cheered as (Y/N) got on the carpet.
"Let's go Kanzaburou." The raven haired female said as she patted the empty spot next to her.
"It's alright Tomioka sama." Kanzaburou started off as he gave the raven haired female a small smile. "I can simply go back to my regular self and fly if you-" He started off only to be cut off by said female who pulled him by the arm.
"Sorry, no time." (Y/N) said as Kanzaburou sat beside her on the carpet. "We really need to go now." And with that said, the carpet flew out the nearest window.
"Woohoo! We made it!" Grim excitedly cheered as he then looked at the scenery below him. "See you later, suckers! Freedom!"
"Ah! Look over there!" The blonde haired Scarabia student shouted out as he pout over towards the sky. "They're riding the Dorm leader's magic carpet!"
"First they break out, then they rob us? The Dorm leader will never let us hear the end of it if he finds out!" The purple haired Scarabia student exclaimed.
"We have to seize them! Hold it right there, thieves!"The redhead Scarabia studied angrily said.
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
"Nyeh heh heh! If you wanna catch us, try learning to fly first!" Grim exclaimed now laughing at the Scarabia students from below.
"How do you exactly steer this carpet?" Kanzaburou asked as (Y/N)'s eyes widen a bit in realization.
"I...I'm not really sure..." (Y/N) said as she gently patted the carpet.
"Steer it? Uhhh, I think Kalim took hold of the corner tassels and tugged at them like this..." Grim said as he tugged on the carpet's tassels which made it start flying all over the place. "Myah!"
"Flying is not supposed to be like this!" Kanzaburou exclaimed.
"Hey! Less with the 360, more with the fly quickly!" Grim shouted out now pulling on the carpet's tassels, this making it spin.
"We're gonna die." (Y/N) started off as she covered her mouth, feeling slightly nauseous. "I'm gonna puke first, then we're going to die..."
"Gyah! The world is spinning! Someone make it stop!" Grim cried out.
"Tell it to someone who can actually control a carpet." (Y/N) mumbled as she clutched the fabric of the carpet.
"If we live I will never call anyone such nicknames ever again!" Kanzaburou said. "I'll apologize to everyone, promise."
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
From below, the Scarabia students all stepped out of the dorm and watched the scene above them.
"They're going outside the dorm! After them, quick!" The Scarabia students shouted out.
"Aaah! We're gonna crash right into the mirror!" Grim shouted out as the carpet continued flying all over the place, before eventually entering another mirror and crashing inside.
"MroooOOOooow..."
"W...where are we?" (Y/N) mumbled as she clutched her head. "I just saw my life flash before my eyes..."
"..and it was lonely..."
"Did I die?" Kanzaburou groaned before soon slowly sitting up. "Why is hell so dark..."
Soon enough, a couple of footsteps were heard before the sound of a light turning on was heard.
"Well, well. What have we here? Patrons in search of a little midnight snack, perhaps?" Jade said.
"Aw, man. I was totally ready to squeeze any burglars here to nab our food supplies. It's just the little Angelfish, along with the Seal, and Pelican." Floyd said as he let out a sigh. "Lame."
"Hm...hey remember when I said I would apologize to everyone and stop with the names?" Kanzaburou questioned as (Y/N) and the carpet gave the raven haired male a nod. "I take back everything I said."
"W...what are you guys doing here?" Grim questioned as he stared at the twin rather confused.
"Didn't we already go over this? We can't go home over winter break because of ice floes, remember?" Floyd said.
"Wait, so we're in Octavinelle?!" Grim said as he looked around the Mostro Lounge.
"Seafood Domain..." Kanzaburou said as he watched as Jade helped the raven haired female from the floor.
"Thank you senpai." (Y/N) said as she took a hold of his hand now standing up.
"Yes. Inside the Mostro Lounge, to be precise." Jade confirmed as he gave a small nod.
"We...we made it! Finally, we've broken outta that awful prison!" Grim happily cheered.
"I don't ever wanna go to jail again..." (Y/N) sighed now looking back at the twins sadly as she still held onto Jade's hand. "They kept us locked up the whole time...." The female mumbled as she took a hold of Floyd's hand, this action making the twins blush a bit.
"Hey, I don't know what you're talking about but now you're here again!" Floyd smiled before hugging (Y/N). "I missed you Angelfish."
The raven haired female didn't say anything as she simply returned the gesture. At this making Floyd blush a bit before grinning at Jade.
"A prison?" Jade repeated as he frowned as he watched his twin who grinned at him, still holding the female in his arm... "Care to elaborate?"
"Sleep with one eye open..."
"Heheh...."
"And what's this rectangular flounder looking guy?" Floyd said as he pointed at the magic carpet.
"It looks a lot like Kalim's magic carpet, actually..." Jade said and soon enough the sound of footsteps was heard. Now inside the Mostro Lounge, we're The Scarabia student who finally managed to find them.
"There's no escape for you now, thieves!" The blonde haired Scarabia student yelled.
"Surrender quietly!" The purple haired Scarabia student said as he glared at the trio before quickly averting his eyes away from the female.
"Right..."
"Mrow?! You chased us all the way here?! You guys are seriously stubborn, you know that?" Grim said as he frowned at the Scarabia students.
"They were determined to get us." Kanzaburou said as he let out a small sigh.
"You kind of have to admire that..." (Y/N) mumbled as she let go of Floyd who pouted a bit.
"What's all the commotion at this late hour?" The familiar voice of Azul said as he then approached them.
"You're Azul Ashengrotto, the Dorm leader of Octavinelle!" The purple haired Scarabia student exclaimed as he looked at the grey haired male.
"Would you care to explain what's going on here?" Azul said as he eyed the Scarabia students standing before him.
"It's none of Octavinelle's business. Just hand over the two of them quietly." The blonde haired Scarabia student said.
"Hm, now that I'm looking closer, would that be (Y/N), Kanzaburou along with Grim sprawled out and quivering on our floor?" Azul said as he looked over at Grim and Kanzaburou before his eyes soon landed on (Y//N) who simply gave him a sad smile. "They looked so dingy, I thought they were a pair of dust cloths."
"Wow, thanks for the compliment..."
"Please help us senpai..." (Y/N) said as she looked at Azul with a slight hint of hopefulness.
"Hm...." Azul let out a small hum before looking back at the Scarabia students, a small frown now evident on his face.
"If you refuse to hand them over, you'll be party to their wrongdoing as well." The blonde haired Scarabia student said.
"Hey, are you yanking my tail here? Who do you think you're talking to?" Floyd said as he glared at the male.
"No fighting of any kind is permitted in the Mostro Lounge. This is a place for gentlemen." Azul said.
"What was that? You're interfering?" The blonde haired Scarabia student said.
"Fine. We'll just do this the hard way!" The purple haired Scarabia student angrily said.
"Hmph. I think it's time we asked these ill mannered patrons to leave." Azul said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Jade. Floyd. Show them the door." He told the twins who simply grinned upon hearing his words.
"Yes sir." Jade smiled.
"On it." Floyd grinned.
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
It didn't take too long before the Octavinelle trio easily took care of and beat all the Scarabia students.
"Argh...retreat for now!" The blonde haired Scarabia student exclaimed before running away.
"You haven't seen the last of us!" The purple haired Scarabia student said before soon running after his friend.
"Go on and scatter, you bunch of minnows! Aha ha!" Floyd said as he laughed now watching as they ran away.
"We'll be eagerly awaiting your next visit to our lounge." Jade said as he gave a close eyed smile.
"Mya hah! We did it! You see that?! That's what you get, you buncha jerks!" Grim happily cheered.
"We? We didn't do anything it was Azul senpai along with Jade and Floyd..." (Y/N) said as Kanzaburou nods in agreement.
"I guess we do owe them a thanks..." Kanzaburou said as he gave them a small smile.
"I do hate to rain on your parade, but I'm afraid we'll have to bill you for repair fees for the tables and chairs damaged in that fight. Not to mention our own labor rates, since we were dragged into this affair."
"What..."
"Never mind I take my thanks back..." Kanzaburou mumbles.
"Hm...I would have thought you would do this for free considering you did aba-" (Y/N) started off only for Azul to start laughing nervously.
"Hahah! Did I say we would charge you?" The grey haired male said as he looked between (Y/N) and a confused Kanzaburou. "I meant to say this was done completely free of charge. No bill included."
"No way is he going to find out about us leaving her alone..."
"Good call Azul."
"How kind of you senpai." (Y/N) said as she gave the male a small smile. "Isn't that nice of senpai, Kanzaburou?" She said as Kanzaburou gave the female a small nod.
"That's how it should be." Kanzaburou said.
"Just what the hell is up with the change of heart..."
"You know, first we get dragged into a bunch of Scarabian infighting, now this..." Grim said before letting out a sigh. "I swear, there isn't a single decent guy in this whole school!" He said as he glared at Azul.
"I'm sorry, come again? What's this about Scarabian infighting?" Azul said as he stared at him clearly confused.
"It's a long story..." (Y/N) said before she soon began to explain to the male's everything that had happened back at Scarabia.
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
"The Dorm leader of Scarabia is acting out of control, you say?" Azul said.
"Yea! Kalim's running all his dormmates through the wringer every day, nonstop." Grim said.
"If they keep at this, I don't doubt they'll pass out any moment now..." (Y/N) said.
"I wouldn't have expected that from Kalim, of all people..." Azul mumbled now taking in their words.
"I never knew the little Sea Otter had it in him." Floyd said.
"He's never given me that impression, either." Jade said.
"Vice Dorm leader Jamil's got his hands full trying to deal with it. He's a decent guy, which is pretty rare for this school. I feel kinda bad for him." Grim said before crossing his arms over his chest. "And we can't reach the Headmage because (Y/N) doesn't have his number to contact him."
"Would you stop bringing that up?" (Y/N) said as she let out a small sigh.
"Tomioka sama already apologized for that quite a few times now leave it." Kanzaburou said as he glared at Grim.
"..........."
"Azul, you're in Jamil's class, right?" Jade questioned as he looked back at the grey haired male.
"Yes. We also share a number of electives." Azul said as he gave a small nod. "Our paths are given to cross often. Grim might be right when he says that Jamil is a rarity in this school. He's demure and poised, you might say. He hardly ever ventures opinions of his own."
"Yea, I'm in the Basketball Club with Sea Snake, and he pretty much plays like a goody goody. I never pay much attention to other dorms to start with, so I had no idea he was vice Dorm leader for Scarabia." Floyd said before frowning a bit.
"And now we know he's having trouble dealing with his Dorm leader's antics. Hm, it sounds like I should come to their aid." Azul said before smiling a bit.
"What? Did you hit your head or something when I wasn't looking?" Grim said.
"Hey, if he wants to help who are we to complain." Kanzaburou said as he gave a small shrug as (Y/N) nodded in agreement.
"Though is it even considered help knowing Azul?"
"Nothing is ever free with these three..."
"Why, I never. I'll have you know the last incident forced me to reflect on my greed. I came out of it a changed man." Azul said as he gave them a smile. "Moving forward, I've decided to contribute to the school as a whole, in honor of the Sea Witch's spirit of benevolence. Now that Scarabia is faced with a crisis and my very own classmate is in need of help. I can hardly ignore them in their time of need."
"Oooh?" Floyd said as he grinned upon hearing Azul's words.
"Oh ho." Jade said as he smirked a bit.
"It's just as well, I tire of picking at the same turkey dinner alongside the same faces every year." Azul said as he gave them a smirk. "Why don't we pay Scarabia a visit tomorrow?"
"Seriously?! We just broke outta that prison, and you want us to march back in? Count me out." Grim said.
"Grim, you're coming with us whether you like it or not..." (Y/N) said as Grim frowned upon hearing her words.
"Ugh fine..." Grim sighed before soon giving in.
"Come on, Sealie-o, don't be like that." Floyd said as he grinned at Grim.
"Have some faith in Azul. I'm sure he'll make this a holiday to remember." Jade said as he gave him a close eyed smile.
"It would be rude to visit empty handed, of course. Jade. Floyd. Don't forget to wrap up our gifts." Azul said.
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir!"
The twin agreed before soon letting out a chuckle. "Heheh..."
"I could certainly think of worse ways to spend winter break than in a sweltering desert. I can already tell this is going to be positively delightful." Azul said before letting out a chuckle of his own.
"Heheh..."
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
It was the next following day, and a few Scarabia students stood in front of the dorm simply talking amongst themselves.
"I still can't believe the Ramshackle group fled to Octavinelle." The blonde haired Scarabia student said.
"And they stole the magic carpet. If the Dorm leader were to find out about this..." The purple haired Scarabia student said before letting out a small sigh. "Argh, what do we do?"
"I think we'd better take this to Vice Dorm leader Jamil to start with." The blonde haired Scarabia student said as his friend nodded in agreement before footsteps soon approached them now catching their attention.
"Hello, gentlemen." Azul said as he greeted them. "Mind if we pop by?"
"Good gravy, it's hot here. Feels like the middle of summer." Floyd said as the Scarabia student stared at them clearly shocked.
"You're the Octavinelle guys who gave us a thrashing last night!" The blonde haired Scarabia student exclaimed.
"What do you want with Scarabia?" The purple haired Scarabia student questioned.
"Permit me to apologize for what transpired last evening. It looked as though you were bullying defenseless animals. I stood up for them on the spot, out of the goodness of my heart. But after I heard their story..." Azul said as he trailed off a bit before smiling. "It became clear to me that these Ramshackle residents were thieves who had made off with Scarabia's magic carpet. Once I realized my mistake, I took personal responsibility for the matter. I apprehended the criminals...and I came here to return the magic carpet to its rightful owner.
"Rgh...it's not fair, I'm telling you..." Grim groaned as the carpet nodded in agreement.
"Leave prison and only to come back as prisoners..."
"W...well, uh..." The blonde haired Scarabia student stuttered as he stared at them in disbelief.
"Thank you for the...help?" The purple haired Scarabia student said as he looked at them clearly confused before and set of foot steps approached them all.
"Guys." Jamil started off as he walked over towards them. "It's about time for morning training. If you're late, Kalim will..." He said only to be taken aback by the sight of Octavinelle Trio. "Gah?!"
"Why, Jamil! Hello there." Azul said as he smiled at the raven haired male. "How are you?"
"Azul Ashengrotto..." Jamil said as he narrowed his eyes at the grey haired male. "And the Leech brothers as well? What are you doing here?"
"Our home isn't the most hospitable place in the wintertime." Jade said.
"So we spend our holidays in the dorm! Ahaha!" Floyd said happily before letting out a laugh.
"W...what?" Jamil said as he stared at the trio clearly confused.
"By the way, where might Kalim be? I'm here to return his magic carpet to him." Azul said as he then looked back at the magic carpet before smiling at Jamil once again.
"Er, ah...if you need to deliver something, I'll take it to him." Jamil said as he gave the male a small nervous smile.
"Oh, but I insist!" Azul said. "This magic carpet is a legendary artifact on par with national treasures. If it were discovered to be damaged later, Octavinelle would be held liable. We can't have that, now, can we?" He said before letting out a small sigh. "I would prefer to hand it to Kalim in person and have him assess its condition firsthand."
"Kalim wouldn't care even if it was damaged. Let me take it off your hands, ok?" Jamil said as he frowned a bit before insisting to take the carpet.
"Worry not. I won't even ask for my standard twenty percent finder's fee." Azul said as he gave gave him a close eyed smile.
"He should actually charge him instead..."
"Consider that our way of apologizing for our uncouth behavior towards Scarabia last night." Jade said.
"We also brought a seafood pizza as a little present. You wouldn't want it to get cold, would you?" Floyd said as he grinned at the male.
"What's pizza?" (Y/N) quietly said as Kanzaburou simply shrugged.
"I'm not sure..." Kanzaburou mumbled.
"This place has a lot of strange but interesting things..."
"No, really, he's not feeling up for any..." Jamil started off before Azul soon calmly walked passed him. hey! You can't just barge in, Azul!"
"Shall we (Y/N)?" Jade said as he offer his arm to the female to take in which she did.
"You'd better keep up." Floyd said as he smiled at (Y/N) before glancing at Jade who simply grinned at him. "Hm..."
"I don't like you..."
