C.C. POV:
***Ramshakle Dorm - Hallway***
Grim: “Myaaah!”

Ghosts: “Hwaaahhh! We gotta get out of here! Before we get disappeared for good!”

Grim: “H-huh? Did we... win?”

Yuu: “That was incredible!”

Grim: “Aw, geez, I was scared outta my- I mean, they didn't faze me one bit! Just a walk in the park for a mage of my caliber! Whaddaya got to say now, ghosties? That's right!”

‘Poor Ghosts, I’ll play with you three later!’ Then Crowley appears in the hallway. ‘Was he here the whole time?’

Crowley: “Good evening. In another gesture of my immense kindness, I have brought you dinner. Wait. That's the creature we ejected for causing trouble at orientation! What is it doing here?!”

Grim: “Takin' care of yer ghost problem, that's what. You're welcome, by the way!”

Crowley: “What is the meaning of this, Yuu? But you know, on that topic, I do seem to recall that this dorm had a mischievous ghost problem. Ah, yes... That's why it was abandoned, in fact. The ghosts scared away all the students. And you're saying that you two joined forces to drive them away?”

Grim: “"Joined forces" ain't exactly how I'd describe it. More like I drove 'em away, and the human watched. And I only did it 'cause I wanted some tuna. Hey... Wait a minute! I never got those cans of tuna ya promised!”

I walk over to the food Mr. Crowley set down. ‘Did he bring anything sweet?’ I look through the food and start eating a bit of it.

Crowley: “Would you two be so kind as to demonstrate your ghost-eradication methods for me?”

Grim: “One, no, 'cause I already wiped 'em all out. And two, no, 'cause where's my tuna?!”

Crowley: “I will play the part of the ghosts. As for the tuna, you'll receive it when you defeat me. Oh, what generosity, Crowley… Now, to chug this transmutation potion!

Grim: “Ah, you gotta be kiddin' me. I gotta work together with the human again?”

Yuu: “Do it for the tuna, Master sorcerer!”

Grim: “Hrmph. All right, but this is the last time. And I better be up to my jowls in tuna afterwards!”

‘Here we go again.’ I think as I slowly snack on the food Mr. Crowley brought.
