I'M NOT DEAD YOU CAN PUT THE SHOVELS DOWN

"GEH! Dorm leader?!" Ace turned around, only to see Riddle with a look of discontent on his face. "Hey there, Riddle! You look super cute today, too~♪" Cater said. "Hmph. Keep talking like that, Cater, and it will be off with your head, too." Riddle said, annoyed. "Come on now~ Please go easy on me~" Cater responded nervously. "Ah!? This is the guy who put that weird collar on me during the Opening Ceremony!" Grim exclaimed. "You two are the ones who caused a ruckus yesterday, aren't you? Would you refrain from referring to someone's unique magic as "a weird collar"? Good grief, the Headmaster is too soft. Letting someone off the hook for not following the rules once will break the foundation. All those who don't follow the rules should just say goodbye to their heads." Riddle said to us. "His words definitely don't match his cute face..." Ace whispered. "The Headmaster may have forgiven you, but the next time you break the rules, I won't let you off so easily." Riddle said. He's more intimidating in person... "Um... By the way, Prefect... Is it possible for you to remove this collar?" Ace asked. "I was thinking of removing it once you've repented, but judging from what you said a while ago, it seems like you've yet to do so. I'll have you walk around like that for a while longer. You don't have to worry. The 1st years' lessons are focused more on classroom learning rather than magic training. If you can't use magic, then something like yesterday's ruckus should be impossible. It's perfect, isn't it? Now, if you're done eating, hurry and go to your next class. Rule #271 of the Queen of Hearts: 'You must not spend more than 15 minutes sitting at the table after you've eaten.' You know what happens when you break the rules, don't you?" 

"Another weird rule..." Ace sighed. "Answer with 'Yes, dorm leader!'" Riddle corrected. "Yes dorm leader!" Ace and Deuce said in unison. "Good." Riddle said. "Now, now. I'll see them off, don't worry." Trey told him. "Hmph. You're the vice dorm leader, so you better do your job properly. As stated by the Queen of Hearts' Rule #339, "After-meal lemon tea should have nothing more or less than 2 sugar cubes in it." In order to protect that rule, I shall need to buy more sugar cubes at the school store. I'll be taking my leave now. Good grief, the sugar pot running out of sugar cubes is a capital crime..." Riddle replied, and left. "Man, that was scary...~" Cater sighed. "For real..." I said. "He's really lookin' like a bad guy now, yanno?" Grim said. "Hey, that's very rude!" Deuce scolded. 

"Did the Prefect leave...?"

"I completely forgot to follow Rule #186: "Never eat hamburg steak on Tuesdays." so I was wondering what he'd do if he found out..." 

"Giving us a bit of freedom won't hurt him, you know?"

I overheard two Heartslabyul students talking about Riddle. Trey and Cater looked worried. "The Dorm Head managed to become the head one week after getting into the school. He's a little bit sharp-tongued, but he's only got the dorm's best intentions in mind, so he's not really a bad guy." Trey said. "People who think like that don't just put collars on others." Grim stated. "Ahaha..." Trey and Cater nervously laughed. "Grim it's your fault for going wild at the ceremony." I scolded him. "Grr... But that collar cuts off your magic. It's horrible and it sucks!" Grim argued. "Oh how tragic." I responded. "Hm? You mean Riddle's unique magic?" Cater asked. "Unique... Meaning, it's only exclusive to the Prefect?" Deuce asked. "Putting aside all the other magic in the world, magic that can only be used by one person is called "unique magic". I think you'll learn about it in detail if you pay attention in class." Trey said. "Riddle's unique magic is being able to seal off another person's magic for a given time. It's called... Off with your head!" Cater continued. "Even the name's scary!" Grim shrieked. "Since magicians having their magic sealed off is similar to having your head chopped off~ That's why, as long as you're in this dorm, it's better not to go against Riddle." Cater said. "Conversely, as long as you follow the rules, he can be pretty gentle" Trey advised. "Oh yeah, am I gonna be chased out again if I don't come back with a tart...?" Ace asked. "Pretty much~ That's what Rule #53 says, after all~ Oh, and since Riddle was looking forward to getting the first slice of that whole cake, he probably won't forgive you if you don't bring the same thing~" Cater answered. "You said you want to get along, but you won't let me off that easily?!" Ace questioned. "This and that are different~" Cater replied. "Still, isn't a whole tart a little bit expensive?" Deuce asked. "Ugh... I don't have that much money though..." Ace sighed. "Then why not make some~? Those tarts were all made by Trey here, y'know~?" Cater said. "Oh really?" I asked. "You made all that Trey-senpai?! Amazing! It's better than what they sell here!" Ace exclaimed. "Haha, thanks. I think I have most of the tools and ingredients here... But I won't simply offer you my services." Trey said. "Eh?! You're gonna ask us to pay you!?" Ace asked. "Haha, there's no way I can extort money from a junior. The next tart that Riddle wants to eat requires a lot of chestnuts. Would you mind gathering some for me?" Trey asked. 

"It's troublesome either way...! So, how much do you need?" Ace asked. "It's going to be used for the Unbirthday Party, so about two to three hundred will do." Trey replied. "That much!?" Deuce and Grim questioned. "I'll have you help me with roasting them and peeling them." Trey said. "Can I go back home?" Grim rhetorically asked. "Me too." Deuce agreed. "You traitors!" Ace angrily said. "There, there~ Making them together and then eating them together will make it more delicious~! It's that making memories thing~ It might help you start a cooking blog for all we know~" Cater said. "Keep this a secret from the Prefect, but freshly made marron tart is the best. The only ones who can eat it as soon as it gets out of the oven are the ones who made it, you know?" Trey asked. "Hey, boys! Get your rear in gear! We're gonna go pick some chestnuts 'til we drop!" Grim said. "Why are you talking like that...." I said. "There are a lot of chestnut trees right by the forest behind the school's botanical garden." Trey said. "Alright! Then, let's gather in front of the greenhouse after school." Ace said. "Go, go~! We're goin' chestnut picking~!" Grim said enthusiastically.
