[Wizards’ Manor—Shylock’s Bedroom]
Murr: Shylock! Let’s play!
Shylock: …Murr, what do we do first when we visit someone?
Murr: Knock knock!
Shylock: You must knock before opening the door, otherwise the act itself would be pointless, wouldn’t it?
Murr: I can’t remember the order of the steps! Anyway, let’s play already!
Shylock: Good grief, you're quite impatient today. So, shall we have a game of chess then?
Murr: Wait, why don’t we play something new today?
Shylock: Something new?
Murr: Yup! I just came up with a new game!
Shylock: I understand that you just birthed its existence this very instant, correct? How novel, coming from you. …So, how does one play your game?
Murr: …
Shylock: …?
Murr: Did you find out what I was doing?
Shylock: No, not at all. You suddenly had a deeply serious look on your face, and fell silent… What on earth are you trying to achieve?
Murr: The correct answer was: Oz when he’s happy!
Shylock: …Oh, I see. That wasn't quite it, but... Fufu.
Murr: So? Did I look like him?
Shylock: I suppose, yes. I must say, your game slightly piqued my interest—enough to pass some time.
Murr: Yay! Awright, let’s continue!
“Hah!? Want me to drill holes in yer skull, huh!?”
Shylock: …Hm, a famished Bradley?
Murr: “Um, Sir Oz! Allow me to join you as well!”
Shylock: This one is easy: that can only be Arthur speaking to Oz.
Murr: Nice, you’ve got them all! But wait, because I’ve been saving this next, special riddle for last!
chapter two
[Wizards’ Manor—Shylock’s Bedroom]
Murr: “It seems to me that you are in dire need for some stricter discipline, don't you think, Murr? Shall I do you this favour?”
Shylock: …
Shylock: So this is your so-called “special’ riddle?
Murr: So, what’s your answer? Did you get it?
Shylock: Alas, there is nothing for me to “get” out of this... That was me reprimanding you, Murr, was it not?
Murr: Bzz-bzzzt! Wrong answer!
Shylock: …My, now that is surprising.
I can only speak for myself, but I am persuaded that only me would lecture you so persistently.
Murr: That’s not wrong! But it’s not exactly the right answer either!
The correct answer was… “Shylock when he looks like he’s having fun!”
Shylock: …”Look like”?
Murr: When you sound like you do, yes!
Shylock: That looked like nothing more but a reprimand to me.
Murr: Hmmm—? You look like you’re seriously having a great time to me though.
Was I wrong?
Shylock: …This. This is the very reason why you are such an utterly troublesome being.
Murr: Hm? What? What do you mean?
Shylock: …Haah, nothing. Pay no mind to it.
Murr: Wait, was I spot on? Why are you looking away?

“Two Truths And A Lie”
[Wizard’s Manor—Akira’s Bedroom]
Akira: I’ve heard that you were playing a new game with Shylock earlier, is that true?
Murr: That we did! That was fun!
Akira: Did you imagine the game yourself?
Murr: Yup! All by myself!
Akira: That’s awesome! Can you teach me how to play them too?
Murr: Fine by me! Let's play a game where we can only say one lie then!
Akira: A lie?
Murr: I’m going to tell you a bunch of information, and I’ll throw a lie in the mix. All you have to do is guess which one is which, Master Sage!
Akira: Got it! I’ll need to be pretty observant!
Murr: Well then, let’s start!
Earlier today, I snuck into your room and secretly planted a seed under your bed, one that can grow ivy so tall it can reach the sky.
Akira: What!?
Murr: I thought that making it grow would be near impossible, but I’ve heard they can also sprout out of nowhere on rainy days. And, good news! It’s supposed to be raining this afternoon!
Akira: Hang on... Under my bed? On rainy days!? Huh, I sure hope they’re all lies!!
Murr: Sooo, which one is which?
Akira: …
You didn’t sneak into my room!
Murr: Wrong answerー!
Akira: Come on, don’t sneak into my room next time, please...!
Murr: Are you ready for the grand reveal? The correct answer was...
Ah, it’s raining.
Akira: Aah! There's a weird ivy creeping on my desk...!
