"Here, I'll give you a hint, okay? You see that playboy, Sinclair over there? Stand very close to him. See if you'll hear anything from the pack again."

I casually crank the handle of the machine after inserting all three coins, drawing three capsules in succession. I open them and quickly pocket the items.

Could be a lot worse, yeah.

>>2701
"Whoa nilly watch out now. How am I the cause for haunting those needles?!"

>>2700
"I-It's just a h-hobby of m-mine.. Heh.."

>>2701
Noting the hint, I walk towards Sinclair and pull out the pack of needles.

>>2703
"Upupupu. I wonder~."

>>2704
"Hey you don't seriously believe him do you?"

This is getting so wacky! Why am I the one being pointed out?! Oh no! My rock!

"Ouch! My foot!"

My damn rock fell on my foot! I lean over to rub my foot, or I would but it's actually my shoe.

>>2706
"T-There isn't a-any h-harm in testing what h-he said.. r-right..?"

after Pico finished saying that,a voice was heard near the matches "I'm actually Sinclair. You caught me!"

>>2707
>>2708
What the?! I lean back up after ineffectually curing my foot pains.

"What!? No! I swear! It isn't me!"

Luna didn't really see the whole point to this machine as a souvenir shop, but she took her 3 coins given to her and took her shot at being lucky with the machine! What she found for her was quite a weird range of things, neither of the three items having to relate to each other at all
"Huh...That can fit inside of here?" She said aloud, peeking right through her capsule while also putting it right into her pocket.
>>2693
"Maybe you're really not Sinclair!" She said, giggling while also pointing directly at him.

>>2707
>>2709

"Christ, are you two really talking to a pack of needles? This almost pathetic."

I listen in, feigning interest in their little comedy routine.

>>2708
"Th-this is getting ridiculous. If we're done with that silly haunted capsule machine, shouldn't we get back to exploring the place? All this supernatural junk is just making me more hungry."

I shoot a sharp glance at the foot-pained Romeo, quickly sticking my hand that's not holding the sword into my pocket.

>>2710
"N-not you too! Why is this happening to me!?"

Tears begin to well up in my eyes, I place my hands in front of my own face to hide my shame.

>>2713
Approaches behind Sinclair, giving a consoling pat on the back.
"There, there. It's all right, you don't have to lie about who you are to us. There's no real point to it after all."

>>2711
"Y-You're a j-jerk..!"

>>2712
"I-I agree.. L-Let's p-put this b-behind us and s-scout out the place.. M-Maybe they h-have some r-rooms, I-I'm quite tired.."


I stuff my not so haunted needles back into my pocket and set out to find a place to rest.

>>2714
"R-really?...Is it really fine?"

>>2716
"Completely!"

>>2712
"I second that, I'm sick of this second-rate show routine. The sooner we know our surroundings, the better. Wouldn't you agree?"

>>2715
"Say what you will, but I would rather know what to do next than sit around twiddling my thumbs and talking to phantom inanimate objects."

"Good! I was sick of doing that whole Romeo routine. And acting aloof just isn't my style."

>>2719
"Hm. Interesting, I'll be sure to keep an eye on you from now on. Mr. "Sinclair". You seem interesting, for a peasant."

I say that to him, leaving the room in search of the bedrooms to retire to.

>>2720
"The name is still Sinclair, pig."

I turn around, finally letting the curtains fall on the self I introduced. God was it annoying. I take my items in the capsules and head toward the dorm rooms I saw, gotta find out which one is mine.

>>2719
"I'm looking forward to seeing what's behind that Romeo facade, 'Clair boy."

Finally having put an end to the nonsense, I set out to find the kitchen in this place.

I walk to the cafeteria
"if i have to live here forever they better have a stocked fridge."

>>2721
"Doesn't it feel better to be yourself?"
Luna seemed to have quite a fit with how sudden his mood seemed to change. She'd take her leave with Eve though, following with her in the pursuit of food and then possible dorm lodging.

Deciding to prolong my search for the bedrooms alone, I ended up following everyone else to the kitchen area.

"They better have something good, otherwise it's not worth eating."

about that there are all kind of food in this academy so Food isn't a problem.

It will be always re-stocked no matter how many food do you eat~dechu~

I guess some food first would be better. I turn back and head for the kitchen area.

While looking around in the kitchen, I call for either the bear or the rabbit.

"Hey, teddy twins. Will we get our own rooms to sleep in after we've had dinner?"

>>2728
Yes, I will guide to your rooms once you are done with dinner.

"Hmph. I guess I'll just have to make this up and go with the flow, for a change."

I follow the others into the kitchen.

>>2729
"Alright, that's one worry off my mind."

I sit down at one of the tables in the cafeteria and eat the food I had prepared in the kitchen, waiting for everyone else to get their own food as well.

"If everyone's got their food in front of them, I'd like to put on a little dinnertime show to help lighten the mood a bit. Is everybody here?"

>>2729
"Good, now lets have a look and see what kind of food this place has."

Going through the cupboard, I attempted to find something of good quality, but instead found some instant food. To my dismay and further irritation.

Went right through the pantry and cupboards until she found exactly what she was craving for. Nothing too spectacular, but Luna would carrying back a simple bowl of fruit containing apples,mango and a couple of grapes right to the cafeteria table to sit down and eat dinner with the rest of everyone.

"Well, time to eat for myself. At least what they have is fresh!"

"It's nothing fancy, but I guess it'll have to do."

I said, resigning myself to one of the tables, some instant ramen in hand and began begrudgingly eating it.

After looking around and confirming that everyone's here, I walk back into the kitchen and come back out carrying 5 very sharp-looking kitchen knives.

>>2733
"Luna, my assistant, these are for you. I'd also like to borrow one of those apples, if you'd please."

I walk over to Sinclair, and start talking with him as well. Time to pay him back a little for earlier.

"Sinclair, right? Could you do me a small favor and stand over by that wall, with this apple on your head? You don't have to, of course, but it'd be much more interesting this way. There's one other I could ask, but, well..."

>>2735
"Suuuure thing."

Luna grabbed at one of those apples and tossed it right in where she'd expect to catch it while moving off from her seat to gather all five of those knives and stand a couple feet away from Eve.

>>2735
"Hmm, Sinclair's not here? That's a shame.
Then... Monomi, I have a request. I'd like you to stand over by that wall and balance this apple on your head. Feel like participating?"

b-but i-isn't that dangerous?

i-if I get hurt You will be punished you k-know?

Seeing the knives in action, and predicting what is going to happen next, I clutch and conceal an object beneath my coat.

>>2738
"It's fine, it's fine. I've performed this trick in front of a live audience hundreds of times. There's a 0% chance of failure."

I stand in a spot a fair distance directly between Luna and Monomi, and then snap my fingers and give Luna the signal to start.

"Alright, Luna. I want you to throw those knives at me, one after another. Give it your best throw."

>>2740
"And noooow, we have the illustrious Eve here for one of her most dangerous tricks yet!"

Luna announced very formal-like to showcase that she really was acting the role of assistant, her right hand taking hold of one of the knives while she analyzed the distance from Eve and herself as well as the trajectory she was going to have. With a simple tossing motion she'd begin with tossing one knife by the handle right towards Eve for her to catch.


"I don't know about using my full strength, things might go bad if I do!"

She giggled, tossing one after another towards Eve like she was instructed, being careful with her tossing and yet casually confident in appearance.

>>2741
One after another, I catch each knife with a practiced movement. The moment I catch another knife, I begin effortlessly juggling them until all five are cutting through the air above my head.

"Now Monomi," I say while still juggling, "please try very hard not to move. I probably wouldn't miss even if you did, but let's not tempt fate."

Finally, I toss the largest knife of the set directly at the apple on Monomi's head, hitting it perfectly without leaving so much as a pulled thread in the stuffed toy's cloth.

>>2742
I catch the remaining 4 knives and stop my juggling act then perform a bow, signalling the end of the act.

"Come to think of it, I never properly introduced myself. My name is Eve R. Wonder, world famous Super Duper High School Daredevil. I shouldn't need to say this after that demonstration, but there's not a person among you capable of killing me. So let's put any silly thoughts of murder right out of our heads and try to get along, shall we?"

>>2743
upupupupupupu I wonder about that...


so are you done with dinner?

>>2744
"I can't speak for the others, but I'm done here for now. Next comes the rooms, right?"

Luna gives a small bow of her head while just following Eve, taking her leave and making her way to her own dorm room for the night to have some much needed sleep.

"Oh, and one last thing. I'll leave my room door unlocked through the night. If there's anyone here who still thinks they can kill me after that, they're more than welcome to try."

With that, I set off to find my room and relax for the night.

"Etto...
Nighttime will be in effect now, The cafeteria is now off-limits along with the Gym. However since this is your first night You will have the chance to enjoy it for 5 more minutes.
Also Monomi is waiting for you on the entrance."

Meta-Comment:From this hour until 10:00 am board time you can only do small talks and small actions.

>>2744
"Might as well, not much going on here."

Following on behind the girls, I take my leave to my bedroom.

This ends the first day on the academy.

(Will edit this post with link to the second day.)
