Opening 12
.
With the Akademiya Extravaganza coming to a close, Lucius and Paimonde decide to leave the Nation of Wisdom for the time being as they are now taking a stroll around Hanamizaka.
Paimon: We haven't been to the Yae Publishing House in a while. Paimon wonders if they have any new books in? The one we read with Ei that time was pretty cool...
Lucius: You mean the romance one?
Paimon: Yeah! Though Paimon's surprised that she'd like the romance of all things!
Lucius: And how she'd prefer the harem route of all endings.
Takatoshi: Come on, this is a no-brainer, man! There's only one thing worth wishing for — and that is a ton of Mora!
Kiyoto: But the exam's next week... If I fail again, I'm seriously done for. I'm better off wishing that my exam goes smoothly.
The two stop upon seeing two people arguing.
Takatoshi: Ahh, it's just an exam! Trust me, there's no problem you can't solve by throwing Mora at it. If it doesn't work, then just keep throwing till it does!
Paimon: What are they arguing about? It's quite a spirited debate.
Takatoshi: Huh...? Really? You guys don't know?
Lucius: Uh, not really.
Takatoshi: "You need but stand on this land at midnight, lower your head and recite a special incantation, then your wish will come true!"
Lucius: The heck does that mean?
Takatoshi: Looks like you guys really aren't in the loop.
Lucius: We haven't been in Inazuma in like four months.
Takatoshi: This, my friends, is the next big thing. A highly effective wish ritual, guaranteed to make your wishes come true!
Paimon: A wish ritual? ...That actually works?
Lucius: Sounds like a gacha game thing.
Paimon: Oh! You told Paimon about that! It does sound something like that.
Takatoshi: I can see why you wouldn't believe it. I didn't as well. But that changed when it worked for someone I know. It's this guy called Kunihiko. He's practically always been unemployed, wastes his days away, and he owes a lot of money... like, a lot! But get this — I don't see him for a few days, and suddenly I find him dressed to the nines and feasting at a high-class restaurant!
Takatoshi: I heard it directly from him. He used this wishing ritual, and the next day he woke up to find his whole bed filled high with Mora!
Paimon: His whole bed was filled with M—M—M...!? Woooow!!!
Lucius: Calm down, Paimon.
Kiyoto: Of course, I'm sure the part about waking up lying on a bed of Mora is a bit of an exaggeration. But whether you believe it or not, it's not exactly a difficult ritual. It can't hurt to give it a try, right?
Takatoshi: If you're still feeling skeptical, just ask around. There are a lot of very compelling stories about this going around these days.
Paimon: Really? Well c'mon, Lucius, let's go ask around right now, shall we?
