Heroines in a Villain's World

Welcome to Scarabia!

[LOCATION: Hallway of Mirrors]

GRIM: By the way, why are you still at school during winter break, too?

But as Grim asked that, the girls noticed that the students looked tense.
JAMIL: ... That's...
SCARABIA STUDENT C: .........
JAMIL: It will be quite a long story, I'm afraid.

The Ramshackle girls and Grim both looked uncertain at this, then the Scarabia students began to explain.

SCARABIA STUDENT A: (quietly) Everyone in Scarabia is... well, it's the Prefect's orders, so...
SCARABIA STUDENT B: (quietly) We can't go home even though we want to...
JAMIL: Shh! Enough, both of you. It is our fault in the first place.
Come, the food's gonna get cold. Let's head to Scarabia's dorm.
Scarabia is always warm despite the season. I think that it will feel a little bit like the southern islands, too.
GRIM: Yahoo! That's basically paradise~! Let's go!

"Is something so tempting like that really in this school?" The girls thought.

JAMIL: I'm sure that the Prefect will be happy to see you both, too.
You will come, won't you?

"Well, I suppose."

Jamil looked like he was taken back by something, but reassumed his composure.

JAMIL: I'll be happy to introduce you to him, ladies. Alright, let us head off to Scarabia.

[LOCATION: Scarabia Dorm]

GRIM: So this is what Scarabia looks like! Man, it's hot like you said it'd be!
JAMIL: It warms you up, doesn't it? Come, this way.

[LOCATION: Scarabia Dorm – Lounge]

(Clap, clap)

JAMIL: We have visitors! Everyone, play some music to welcome them.
GRIM: Nyahaha! So a famous guy like me gets this kinda treatment, huh!

"Actually, I think it's for ud, so don't get your hopes up Grim." Kate bluntly said.
JAMIL: Alright, enjoy the meal as much as you want.
GRIM: I'm diggin' in!
This is delicious! The aroma of spices after a bite... And the spicy after-taste...
The nuts and vegetables are all so good, and this one looks like a dumpling! Delicious!
JAMIL: We have some meat and soup, too. There are lots to go around, so have some more.
GRIM: (munch, munch) Eating as much as I can... I'm really in paradise, yanno~!

Then the group heard another person coming towards them.

KALIM: What's with all this ruckus, all of you?
SCARABIA STUDENTS: ...!! Prefect...!!
JAMIL: Kalim...

KALIM: What's the meaning of this, Jamil? I wasn't told that we'd be having guests!
JAMIL: There's a reason for this, Kalim...
GRIM: (quietly) Wh-what... Some scary guy's arrived...
KALIM: I believe I told you to tell me first if you're going to invite someone here! Because if you don't...
We could've prepared some more food and better music~~!
GRIM: Eh?
KALIM: Heya! Thanks for comin'! Sorry we couldn't prepare a parade to welcome you with!
I'm Scarabia's Prefect, Kalim Al-Asim. It's our first time meeting, right?
JAMIL: No, this isn't.

"He's right. We met before the Magift Tournament. We were looking for the culprit behind the accidents, remember? And we don't mind if there's no parade or anything." Justine reminded the prefect.

Kalim had a thoughtful look on his face before looking like he remembered something, smiling.

"Oh yes, we did! I never got the chance to say it, but thanks for finding and stopping the culprit. Alright, it's nice to make your acquaintance again!" Kalim greeted.
