Heroines in a Villain's World

Start of the Holidays

It had been over a week since the final exams. The girls were on better terms with Octavinelle, especially Anisha with Azul. And one can imagine the look on his face when he learned his new girlfriend was a princess from her homeland. It would make him question his worth to her a bit, but it would vanish when she told him she was never interested in the throne, and she let her brother be the next heir because she was more interested in being a warrior anyway.

[LOCATION: Ramshackle Dorm – Hallway]

Stella shivered slightly as she walked down the hallway with a yawn. Winter was coming around the bend, so it wasn't much of a surprise. She was then greeted by her ghostmates.

GHOST A: Oh, Miss Rodgers. Why do you look so sleepy?

GHOST B: You look like you've seen a ghost, hihihi!

GHOST C: Today's the last day of the fall semester. Brace yourself so you don't end up like a lot of those other carefree young'uns, okay?

GHOST A: Oh, yeah! Tomorrow's the start of the winter holiday? Do you have any plans already?

GRIM: Hm? Winter holiday...? Wazzat?

GHOST A: It's winter break. Most of the students go home to their families to celebrate until the new year. I hear there's a lotta feasts, too!

GRIM: Wha–!? Feasts!?

GHOST C: Indeed! There's roast turkey, cakes, and even gingerbread. Well, it's not like we can eat it.

GHOST A: There are ghosts who go to the other world to spend time with their families, too.

GHOST B: But there are some who don't return here! Hihihi!

GRIM: Spending time with family while eating a feast...

"You have a family or a home Grim?" Becky asked her dormmate.

GHOST A: That's right! What about your family, Grim, boy?

GRIM: My family? Hm... I don't remember much about them.

I feel like I just woke up alone and hungry.

It was really cold and I remember waiting for a long time for someone to come get me...

... And then, what happened after that again...? I can't remember much. I was still young when it happened...

Well, I'm not the type to dwell on the past, yanno!

The future matters more! After all, I'm gonna become a super great magician! Gahahaha!

GHOST A: You've had your fair share of trouble, too, huh~!

GHOST C: Won't it be fun to spend the holidays together with us this year then?

GRIM: Nyaha! We'll have a feast! I'm excited for the holidays!

Ghost B: What about you Ladies?

"Well, we all had our own way celebrating before we all met, but after we all became friends, we'd usually celebrate at Becky's house. Her dad throws great Christmas galas after all.." Justine explained.

Later that day, The girls and her classmates were in their last day of class.

CREWEL: Listen, you pups.

Holidays start tomorrow... I understand that you want to go home and have fun.

However, there are a lot of students who frolic so much that they forget to do their homework!

A strict disciplinary action is waiting for pups like that when they get back. Be careful.
