What Scurries Along the Hallways of the

Manor

[Wizards’ Manor—Courtyard]

Lennox: Master Sage, have you by chance seen a small, glowing sheep around? It’s about a size smaller than this one.

Akira: A small… Glowing sheep? Sorry, I did not—

(Rustling)

Akira: Woah! What was that? Something just ran past us...

Lennox: Oh, that’s the sheep I was looking for. Come here, little one…

There we go, I’ve got you. I must apologise for bothering you, Master Sage.

Akira: Don’t worry, it’s no big deal! I’m glad nothing happened to your sheep. ... Hm?

Hang on, now that I’m actually looking at it, that sheep… is carved out of wood...? Is that another prank from the Western wizards?

Lennox: No, in fact, I… I cast a spell on it.

Akira: A spell?

Lennox: Yes, Rutile and Mitile asked me to make some decorations fit for Walpurgisnacht.

Akira: Right! I remember that you were planning on having a Walpurgis party at the Manor soon.

Lennox: Exactly, so I tried to make some figures I had carved before glow as a simple test, but…

But it’s not the kind of magic I am used to, so the spell didn’t work as I intended. …Shh, quiet down now, and stay put.

Akira: I see. But you know what? Looking at that little guy moving about is just as much fun, and I believe it would fit right in for that kind of festivities.

I’m sure Rutile and Mitile would be happy to have it around too!

Lennox: Thank you, I appreciate your encouragement.

(The wind carries a melody…)

Akira: Ah, that must be Rustica’s harpsichord... Oh! Lennox, look!

The sheep is wiggling its legs in your arms. I think it’s… trying to dance? Awww, it’s sooo adorable, just… Look at it go! So cute!

Lennox: Haha… Now that’s a little… Embarrassing…
