1. OP (Mini-Drama)

 

[An ominous wind is blowing.]

 

Reina: We’ve... We’ve finally come this far, haven’t we?

The territory of the end... Testough!

It’s been three years since I left the kingdom as the mysterious crystal decreed. Lots of things have happened, but my teammates, who bear the holy crest, gather here by my side.

And now, finally... it’s time for the final battle!

The legendary weapon is in my hand! My bonds with everyone are in my heart!

I shall not lose!

Everyone, let’s do this!

Prepare yourself...!

TERM TESTSSSSSSS!!

 

...Term... tests? Term tests? What are they again?

For some reason, I feel like they’re so terrifying, that the ring of it sounds scarier than the final boss in front of my eyes...?

And... in the first place, why am I holding a sword in a place like this?

What final boss? What was I doing... I...?

 

[The school bell rings.]

 

Mm... Hmmrgh... Ngh...

Hmm... T-... Tests...

Hnmmn...?

*gasps and wakes up*

 

I... I... I... I... I SCREWED UUUUUUUUUUUUP!

Class... is over!? It’s completely over! I totally overslept through the whole thing!?

Ahh... Waahh!!

Was it my fault for watching the late-night anime last night!?

No, but when you’re watching late-night anime, livetweeting it with everyone is the real thrill of it all.

Plus, yesterday’s episode was one of the very few instances where it was easy for drastic stuff to happen!

Like, the best friend was close to dying or fell into the dark side; the rival confessed to that girl; or the comedic atmosphere immediately transitions into a serious one! It was one of those VERY FEW EPISODES, MAN!

As a fan, I just couldn’t miss it...!

 

...Oh, yeah. I’m starting to remember. Luckily, there weren’t any of those sudden developments I was worrying about, but there was the unexpected announcement that they’d be making a stageplay adaptation, huh~!

Yeah, I’d understand if the anime had a bunch of hot guys, but with a title where the appearing characters are all fishcakes, how are they planning to make a stageplay a thing...?

Maybe they’ll make four fishcakes float on top of the stage, and make it... talk...?

No, no! I can’t imagine that happening. We won’t know who’s who.

Maybe they’d have the actors themselves wear fishcake onesies and... go onstage to act...?

No, no, no...! Being unable to see the stage actor’s faces would be a huge turnoff!

Hmmrgh~...! I just have to talk about this in depth during the get-together at the end of the week—

 

...WAIT! That’s not the issue here—!!

Stageplay adaptation of the fishcakes isn’t what I’m supposed to be thinking about right now!!

I was talking about class! My class!

I slacked off on my job as a student for the sake of my hobby! How could I...!?

Ichisaki Reina... You’re a failure...!

 

[Pat pat.]

 

...Huh? The last class announced the range of topics being covered for the test?

Wah... Wahhh... Waah~! Please... Please, it’s my request of a lifetime! Show me your notes~!

 

-

 

All right! Let’s get back on track!

I’ll do my best for gym class~

But I... think it’s just a li~ttle bit too cold~?

*sucks in air* The wind feels chilly.

It’s already October, so I guess it’s obvious.

Mm~, the sky’s so blue. The weather’s nice out, so if the sun were out, being in the sunlight would feel warm and comfy...

But when it comes to that, summer’s clearly long gone. I can just feel winter over the horizon~

It’s a little chilly, and it’s very easy to spend time in this season! Mm~ I love it~

*takes a deep breath* Hah~... It’s real autumn vibes around here!

Autumn of eating, autumn of reading. Autumn of exercise, autumn of harvest! I think people say there’s also a thing called autumn of excursions, too~?

Anyway, autumn’s packed full of stuff, but if I have the chance, I’d like to do all~ of them and enjoy each and every one~!

Who can fault a girl for wanting to be greedy?

 

[A whistle blows.]

 

Oh? Oh! The teacher’s here.

Gather up, gather up~

 

[A whistle blows, and Reina runs toward the mats.]

 

HMPH! There we GO!

 

[Other girls chatter in amazement.]

 

Whew! Did I jump? I jumped, right!? Nice!

The pole didn’t fall! I’m amazing! I set my personal record for the high jump just now!

 

[Clapping.]

 

Ah. Thank you, thank you~ Thanks for the support, y’all~

Fu. Fu. Fu~ The strength of a subculture-lover is that, through reading sports manga, you can’t help but feel like you can handle that sport too.

But sometimes, I suffer because of that, and unfortunately, I can’t unleash special moves like th—

 

[KA-BOOM.]

 

Wh—Hyeh!? What was that!? ...Hey. Jeez~! The mat was sent flying!?

...Huh. Actually, someone could unleash special moves. It’s my own partner.

H-hey~? Tsubaki~? I don’t know what you did, but for the time being... Did you know, high jumps are a sport where you jump as high as possible to make sure the bar doesn’t fall? It’s definitely not a sport where you launch a mat so high it soars through the sky...?

...What do you mean, “I see now.” Don’t say that after you’ve sent it flying!

As always, you’re saying some silly stuff with a straight face.

 

[The bell rings.]

 

Classes... OVER~! All right! I’ve been waiting for afterschool! Today’s the day my long-awaited novel “Don’t Call Me a Transcendent Detective!” releases its new publication!

It’s release date of the followup novel to the problematic series, famous for their weird conclusions, like, “The culprit who hid in the cargo compartment was actually capable of teleportation~!”

I promised I’d let Mizuki borrow the sequel, so I just gotta get it! For sure!

Well, then~ To the bookstore~ Let’s go! Oho~

 

[The door opens.]

 

I’m home~ Sorry for coming back so late, Tsubaki. When I went to the bookstore, the register was straight-up packed, so it took a bunch of time.

Um, what’d you have for dinner...

Huh? You haven’t eaten yet?

Ah...! Could it be...!? You were waiting for me?

 

Wahh~! Thanks!

Tsubaki-sama, who lays waste to the world with her nickname the “White Witch” is actually a very kind witch~! Mmhmm!

Now this is gap moe!

Hold on a bit, ‘kay? I’ll go wash my hands real quick, so let’s eat together!

 

...Thanks for the meal. Hah! Mm~ Sho tashty~!

The dorm meals are just the best! Hrm! Dish burdock root’sh delishush! Mm? Want shum in yoursh?

Hey, hey, Tshubaki. *gulp*

I just realized, but by going through today, I sure am enjoying October... or actually, I should say, autumn as a whole.

I enjoyed autumn of sports during P.E., where I got my personal best for the high jump.

Getting a taste for this scrumptious meal, I’m loving autumn of eating and harvest, right?

After this, I’ll read the new publication of the light novel I bought at the bookstore for autumn of reading! Get it?

Fufufu~

 

Mm! I’m in very good spirits.

I’ve got video recordings, unread books, and CDs I haven’t listened to. Knowing that hypes me up so much! Which one should I start from~? I’m so excited wondering!

One book volume. One CD. Within each and every one has their own individual universes or worlds just spreading out inside!

The appearing characters’ lives are packed right into ‘em!

I can’t help but think, “Ooh~ It’s so amazing!”

Plus...!

 

What kind of story is it, really? What kind of world is it!? I won’t be able to know unless I listen, unless I watch it!

I don’t even know how I’ll have a grasp of it myself! It’s full of the unknown, but I just love that sort of thrill of trying something unknown out for the first time!

The Goddess I aim to strive for... is truly! Like that!

I don’t have to be all that elegant or refined! I wanna make everyone thrilled! I wanna make everyone excited!

I wanna deliver to everyone lots of surprises and joys! It’s my present to them!

For the sake of that future, that’s exactly why I’m so passionate about pursuing my hobby of subculture research!!

 

...Oop. Looks like I suddenly went ham. Tehehe.

Um, umm... Ahh, Tsubaki, how about you? What happened with you today? What’d you do today?

Hrmm~? I shee, I shee... Well, yeah, clearly they’d get upshet at you for tosshing a mat away through the shky.

*gulp* ...Whoa, your daily life’s crazy. Not like it’s any different from the usual. If you talked to me beforehand about it, I could’ve come along for the ride, too~

 

4. ED (Mini-Drama)

 

Reina: YES! That’s it! GOOOO!

Boys aren’t the only ones who get their adventurous spirits to get fired up watching combined-type weaponized robots!

It totally completely burns my heart up, too!

Now’s the time!

Use up all the fuel you have! Use the raging flames of your hellfire to turn Pumpkin Ghost into burned charcoal!

BURNING BLO—

 

...Eh? What... I’m getting to a good part right n...

Eh? I’m too loud—

*gasps* S-sorry, Tsubaki! I was actually saying it?

Ah, I was totally unaware! I was shouting once I realized it. Y’know, like, it’s the shout of my soul, get it?

...Yes, ma’am. I’ll try calming myself down a bit.

Mm. Yeah, sorry, sorry. I’ll close the door. Yeees.

 

Whew. Don’t do that, girl. It’s no good to get so overwhelmed that I don’t catch what’s around me.

Eh... Haah!? The battle’s over...!

But again, the peace of the world’s been protected! Thank you, Warrior of Love, Kisaragi Koinger!

With this, the protagonist, the Unlucky Boy Kakeru-kun can spend Halloween safely and happily.

 

Hah~! Ahh~, that was so interesting! I’m totally burned out~

Halloween, huh...? Hm? Halloween...?

UWAAAaAaaAAaaAAHHHH!!

Oh, no! Isn’t Halloween just around the corner right now!?

Oh god, oh god, this is bad, this is bad!

I can’t believe I nearly forgot about such a happy and important holiday!

 

Tsubakiii~! This is an emergency! Halloween’s right in front of us—

Wait, huh? You remembered, Tsubaki? Gosh, then~! You should’ve told me, right~?

What? “Why?” Obviously, to prepare!

Halloween equals cosplay! Wearing an outfit that you can’t normally wear, barging into houses here and there, and go around messing with people, going, “If you don’t give me treats, I’ll play a trick on you~”

Just thinking about it is just interesting enough already! It’s such a big event~

You know!? I’m glad I have a companion who thinks the same way as me.

Now that’s the White Witch for you!

 

So! With that said~

There’s no more time left! There’s no time like the present, you know!

Let’s prepare for our Halloween party!

 

We obviously don’t have the leeway to make individual outfits for us from scratch, so I’m modding secondhand fits I got from the thriftstore.

All right~ I guess this is basically okay?

Tsubaki, how’s yours going? Anything I can help you with?

The accessories, huh? Lemme handle it! I’m good at that sorta stuff!

I’ve even got the materials for it ready.

A board, pompoms, a glue gun, and fabric tape! With these, I’ll be able to make most things out there, huh!

This’ll test my skills for real~

So what’ll you want?

Mm, mm. Hair decorations? Roger that! I can do that!

 

Mm. I’m done~ And I made these things on the side.

Ta-dah~! A crystal ball~

And I’m going to use this! My setting is that I’m a witch skilled in divination!

Tsubaki, you’re gonna be the White Witch, right?

In that case, since we’re a duo, I should be your opposite as a Black Witch.

I’m gonna be all gothic and cute~ Mm, mm~

Reina-sama’s head already pictures the two of us posing in front of a bunch of cameras!

Our heads are gonna be held so high, our necks stretch out as much as Brachiosauruses!

 

-

 

Well, then~ I am the noble pitch-black witch, New Moon Reina!

I just love treats and 2D! TRICK OR TREAT~!

Heh. Nailed it.

Oh, Tsubaki! You totally look sharp, too.

Wait, you’re way too good in that. Thanks to the outfit, your whiteness has reached even higher levels than usual.

Now that’s the Moon of Dawn, the White Witch!

Just as I imagined! It’s perfect. Let’s go! We’re gonna go spook everyone~

 

Ooh! OoooHOOOOOO!

Oh my GOSH, everyone’s all totally pumped up about this too! Look, look, Tsubaki! The hallway looks absolutely fantabulous!

It’s covered in black curtains, and the ornaments are stuff like lanterns, pumpkins, and bats!

Uwaaah~ It’s really got the vibe, huh!

 

Oh, hey, girls! These decorations are just the best! It’s awesome! Just awesome!

And your costumes... Mummy, jiangshi, reaper, and Dracula~! Ahahaha~!

This is great! It’s like the entire dorm’s in the haunted house mood!

Mm? Mm, mm. The people on the upper and lower floors haven’t noticed the Halloween party going on in this floor? ...You say!?

Fufufu. Fu. Fu. Fu. Then it’s high time for a SURPRISE!

All right, everyone, split up! Let’s barge in on all of ‘em and go on the offensive!

 

[Ding-dong~]

 

Trick or treat! Here, it’s supposed to be the opposite order, but I’ll give you a treat.

 

Trick or treat~ Studying? Hang in there! Lemme give you this!

 

Happy Halloween! Ah, did that surprise you? Ehehe, sorry, sorry~

 

Trick or treat~! I’ll play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treat~! Just kidding. Hehe.

 

Trick or treat!

 

TRICK OR TREAT!

 

Phew... I guess we’ve gone through most of the place now. Haah... I guess all that’s left is Matsurin and Akane’s room.

All right~!

Trick orrrr~

 

[The room explodes.]

 

...What? Eh—eh... What happened just now...

Ah. Akane? Akane? Oh. Look, she’s frozen. Ah, yeah, that’s right. Akane’s super bad with dealing with horror-related stuff...

Urk, sorry, sorry! I guess I spooked you a little too much.

 

[Something shoots out of the room.]

 

Wait, huh... W-w-w-wait! What’s th—

You’re Matsurin’s self-aware robot Nebutan, right? Did you have such a, uh, violent shape before?

Your eyes look terrifying! What’s with your eyes!?

And also, your arms look like... they’re the shape of cannons!?

Akane, calm down! Stop Nebutan!

...Aah, oh no! She’s completely out of it...! I have... a bad feeling about this...!

This is bad! Everyone, TAKE COVERRRRRRR!

 

[Nebutan causes major damage.]

 

Hyoeh!? Th-there’s a hole in the wall! Tsubaki... Tsubaki! Now’s your time to shine, Miss Witch! Magic! Use magic to solve this!

Wait, she’s not here...! Wah—Wawawawawa! Ugh! Matsurin, what the heck are you out here making!?

That’s a mess of stuff that people shouldn’t be playing around with!

Wait, Nebutan’s gonna change shape!?

H-he split off into three parts and flew off! S-so cool...!

Wait, this isn’t the time for me to get all giddy! This is bad. This is most definitely bad!

 

WAAAAHHHHH! Someone, do something about this...!

Hn!? M-Matsuri! Matsuri, Matsuri, wait, wait! What’re you doing running away with us! Aren’t you his inventor? Do something about i—

No, no, no, wait! What’re you saying!? “It’s impossible,” wait, what!?

We’re supposed to leave him the way he is when he goes crazy like that?

Um! Er, usually, at times like this, you’d normally have an emergency suspension switch, wouldn’t you!?

...Oh, there is? There’s one, but you can’t push it?

Girl, what the fresh heck!? GYAH!

 

That! Was! Dangerous! That was dangerous! What would’ve happened if I’d gone bald because of that!

Um, so, uh, about that suspension button? Where is it?

Nebutan’s original body’s B-block’s stomach!?

Which one’s the B-block!?

Whoa-ho!

“You’ve got great reflexes!” ...Thanks. That doesn’t make me happy in the slightest, hearing that when we’re in this situation!! But thanks!

Anyway, where’s the B-block—

WAHHHH!

That one just now!? The one that aimed for my body just now!? Wait—

That’s impossible, totally impossible! He’s flying, man!

Why do you look like you’re having the time of your life, Matsuri!?

Oh, crap! HE CAME OVER HERE AGAAAAAIN!?

 

Phew... Haah... Ahhh... We somehow managed to escape the dorm...

Um, everyone, all right there? Not hurt or anything, are you?

Mm, good to hear that. I wonder if we scraped by through outrunning him...

The dorm itself sounds unnervingly quiet, but...

 

*gasps* ...No. No, this isn’t right. This pattern means... he’s gonna come from the sky!

 

[Nebutan emerges from the sky and sounds of mechanical building take place.]

 

H-he merged into one... Th-th-that’s so... COOL!

Especially the SFX! ESPECIALLY THE SFX!

It was so important that I had to say it twice.

Because going off his appearance, he’s just Nebutan!

Oh... We just wanted to enjoy Halloween with all we had!

Why’d things turn out THIS WAAAAAAAY!?

 

-

 

*mumbling* I’m sorry for causing all this trouble. I’m reflecting on my mistakes.

 

When I thought we were all done for, a savior appeared.

Mizuki, who’s the student council president and the dorm head of our dormitory, stopped Nebutan, who had been setting up for his final, very-much last sure-fire kill attack.

I’m just really glad that none of us were injured from that. If Mizuki hadn’t come back from her student council work then, I don’t even know what would’ve happened...!

 

But, whew! Mizuki’s awesome! Who’d expect that she would press the suspension switch on Nebutan right then and there all brazen-like?

In the first place, that pressure she let off? Nothing more intense than that!

She glared at Nebutan, who froze up seeing her gaze on him, and while that happened, she went “click”!

To think she’d seal away that rampaging Nebutan using the power of her gaze, letting off an incomparable peril, alone!

Mizuki-paisen’s on another playing field entirely!

Gotta make sure I don’t piss her off, or else I won’t know what’ll happen...! Making note of that...

 

Tsubaki. Ahh, I’m fine! Not like I’m hurt or anything. Though I did feel like I was a little bit at risk of losing my life!

But I won’t give up on Halloween after the likes of this!

Halloween was originally supposed to be an event where everyone has fun and enjoys together!

It’s too much of a waste to let it end after blowing up like that!

Yes, that’s right, Mizuki!

You don’t hate festivals, do you?

Fun, enjoyment, and surprises! But in the end, everyone’s happy!

That’s a given for events and the like, right?

This time, the... surprise part was just a little too strong, but that’s just how much it’ll be okay if we add the fun and the happy parts!

So~ You know what I’m getting at?

 

Mmhmm. We’re on a total fire ban in our rooms themselves. No destruction.

We’re supposed to explain in simple terms what we do before we... Mm, hmm! Mmhmm! Yes, of course!

I’ll definitely, most definitely adhere to these rules!

In that case...? It’s okay?

AAAH! Thanks so much, Mizuki! How could I expect anything less! You’re so reasonable!

 

AAALL RIGHT! Hear that, girls?

We’ve got the terms and conditions handed down from the student council president!

So! With that said~

Let’s pump ourselves full of energy for one more! Let’s redo it!

Ready, set!

 

TRICK OR~?

TREEEEAAAT!
