chapter one

[Wizards’ Manor—Fifth Floor, Bedroom Corridor]

Murr: Hey, hey, Oz! We’re having our Walpurgisnacht party in the Manor today!

Oz: …Walpurgisnacht, in the Manor…?

Murr: Yup! A night only for the wizards living here, in our beloved Manor!

And our absolute ruler for this special night is gonna be none other than you! So? Howz’at?

Oz: “How”... Are you implying that you intend to mimic the feast held in the Magic Mountain of North Country?

Murr: Yep! We’re gonna play pretend!

I was talking with my fellow Western wizard about where the real Walpurgis takes place, and that’s how we decided to have a party of our own here!

Oz: …

Murr: If we want to have our own Walpurgis then we have to have you with us! It would be wayyy more fun, right? That’s why I came to see you: we’re inviting you to the party!

So, so, tell me, how are you going to rule over the Manor, hm?

Are you gonna instil fear in us using your world-shattering powers? Hmm, I wonder if you can subjugate us in a situation where disobedience could cost us our lives.

Oz: What absurd nonsense.

If this party is just a mere distraction, you may bestow that role upon yourself.

Murr: I’ve thought about it already! That sounded like fun in my head, not gonna lie.

But I’m curious about how Oz, a wizard who once tried to conquer the world, would reign over this Manor…

You see, I’m way more invested in observing a microcosm of the world through this miniature garden of ours.

chapter two

[Wizards’ Manor—Fifth Floor, Bedroom Corridor]

Murr: If you don’t use fear though, I wonder how you would exert your control over us.

Through charms and amiability maybe? Or perhaps you’d guide the masses with your wisdom, just like Figaro?

Oz: You speak too much. Should I turn you to stone this instant?

Murr: The demon’s out! Waaah, I’m scawed~ Look! I’m even getting goosebumps!

Maybe ruling by fear is just the right thing for you, after all!

Oz: … …

< Vox N— >

Arthur: There you are, Sir Oz!

Oz: …

Murr: The prince enters the premises! Hullo Arthur! Is everything for our Walpurgisnacht ready?

Arthur: Yes, everyone is currently gathered in the dining room and deciding on each of our roles.

Have you settled on your own role already, Sir Oz?

Oz: No, I do n—

Murr: Oz said he will be our supervisor!

Arthur: Really!? What a surprise! I must say it would be very reassuring to have you supervise the festivities and watch over us.

Thank you for offering to shoulder such a heavy duty, Sir Oz.

Oz: …Have you not said that only you Western wizards would participate in this senseless make-believe?

Murr: The younger wizards are also going to join us! Oh, Riquet and Cain will be there too. Everybody was super excited when I invited them!

Shall we go then? Let’s head into a night where the world’s strongest wizard reigns supreme, and raise hell upon this Manor!

“The Greatest, Most Unhinged Night”

[Wizard’s Manor—Bar Bennett]

Akira: Hey there, Murr! So I’ve heard you had a Walpurgisnacht party in the Manor the other day?

Murr: Yup! That sure was a very exciting night… Oh, right! You weren’t at the Manor when all that happened.

Wanna hear something super crazy from that night?

Akira: Sure, why not! Every single person who attended told me that plenty of wild things happened there, so...

Murr: And they’re right! So things kicked off when the ceiling and the floor switched upside down!

Aaall the dishes sprawled on the table started to float, slowly drifting away as if fluffy clouds were stealing our banquet right under our nose.

Akira: …Wha?

Murr: And then, everyone pretended to be Oz… Oh, and by the end of the night, the chairs did a merry li’l dance, which turned our Walpurgis feast into a dance party!

Akira: The, the ceiling was the floor, your dinner took off, and everyone… pretended to be who…?

Murr: Yup, yup! That’s exactly what happened! And then, listen to th—

Akira: Wai-wait, stop! Slow down, please!

Okay, gee… Could you please recap all that? But, like, in a way that makes sense for me? I’m seriously having a hard time registering everything…

Murr: Sure, I’ll rewind a bit.

So Shylock played the role of a Northern wizard, Rustica was a central wizard and Chloe was from the South, and…

Akira: That’s completely different from what you just said!?

Murr: Yeah, I know! That’s telling of how crazy that party was—but what an awesome night!

You absolutely have to join us next time, Master Sage! We still have a spare role for someone to take care of the glasses soaring the vast, endless skies!
