Summary

Dialogue

Thank you! Oh, thank you!

I'd given up hope once that pumpkin-head thing appeared.
But you saved us all!

That big jerk wanted to eat every last one of village's treats.

It almost stole the treat from trick or treat!

I'm glad there was no serious harm done

And now, I think it's long past time for us to celebrate Halloween. I want everyone to have a great time at the party!

Finally, the party can begin. It was a long road here, but I'm glad we're ready to go at last.

This is the first party we've thrown since coming to the castle.
I really want it to go well.

Oh, Your Highness... Heh. Sorry. Was that a little childish? Not at all. It just set me thinking about how kind you truly are.

It's when times are really hard — as they have been for us — that people most need a day of fun to forget their troubles.

I'm happy to hear you say that.

Especially because I think we have a lot of hard, sad times ahead of us.
So if we have a great time today, maybe it will make up for what lies ahead.

Then let us make fine memories together! Oh, that reminds me! You were going to ask me something right before that pumpkin creature appeared. Hmm? Oh! I, uh... it's nothing. Well, now I'm even MORE curious. You know you can tell me anything, right? No! I mean, I merely... Oh, very well. Your Highness, do you— Hey! I told you, I want to get changed! Now leave me alone for ten freaking seconds already! Er, was that Althemia? Such things should be taken care of BEFORE the party, Madam Althemia. I TRIED! But then you started ranting about how we were so far behind shecule and I couldn't make the time! Uh, guys? What's going on? I prevented Madam Althemia from exiting the party venue. ...She took it poorly.

Regardlessm I cannot permit people to miss the event my master has so longed for.

Do you not like the party, Althemia? The party isn't the issue — I just want to change out of this outfit.

I look like a total weirdo, and everyone keeps staring at me!

I assure you that no one in this castle thinks such a thing, Madam Althemia. I agree.

I mean, maybe people are just impressed with what a cool costume it is.

Sooo... it DOESN'T look weird? I don't think so, no. I... see. And Elisanne's costume looks cute, too! You did an amazing job, Althemia. What? Wh-why would you bring that up?! I'm just being honest. Edward's looks quite dashing, too.

I have nothing but respect for what you did. I couldn't begin to craft something like that.

Th-thanks... Um, can I ask you something, Euden? Ask away. Wh-whose costume is cuter...? Mine... or Elisanne's? ...What? Althemia! Not you, too! Come one! Aren't you a LITTLE curious? Well, maybe just a... Er, I mean, no!

The whole point of these costumes was for us to wear them in BATTLE!

Madam Elisanne, why do you look so worried? I'M NOT WORRIED! ...W-well? What do you think, Euden? Um, I... Wow, that's tough. ...... Staring at me like that isn't going to help! Okay, lets seeeee... Ha! Found ya, Euden! TRICK OR TREAT! Wha—?! Give us treats of we're gonna play a trick on you! Treats?! Uh oh. Outta goodies, are ya? Well then, it's a trick for you!

Tickle tickle tickle!

Uwaaah! S-stop, Ranzal... AAAH HA HA HA! N-no more!

AAAAH HA HA HA! S-stop... HA HA HA!

Oh, dear. It looks like I'm too late. Well, let me give you three some treats, just in case.

If you get caught up with those two and teir little games, just hand them one of these, and... Mmm?

C-Cleo? Why are you... staring at me? Oh wow! Elly and Althemia's faces are SUPER red. Did something happen to you two? NO! ...Rrr! How annoying! I can't BELIEVE they found that magic sigil.

It's fine, though. I'll simply draw another one and then... BWAH?!
NOOO! My magic sigil ink!
YOU! DO you have ANY idea how expensive this... ink... was...?

You made a mess of my dress.

Euden complimented me on this dress.
I cannot forgive this.

Er, h-hold on, now! Let's not be hasty! I... wil... never... forgive... this! TERROR SPHERE! EYAAAAAAAAAGH! Now I have even more laundry to do. ...Hmph!
