#djinn's bride event

Ok, if you haven’t seen the new trailer for episode 3, go watch that. It’s on YouTube on the FX channel, and it’s only about 30 seconds.
Spoilers ahead:
So, Nandor says that he wants the Djinn to give him the world’s biggest penis to improve his relationship with his fiancée, and I think that’s REALLY telling.
It’s already obvious that Nandor is trying to find the perfect bride who will make all of his problems go away. I’ve seen a bunch of people point out that he basically wants his partner to have literally no flaws, and that Marwa isn’t necessarily his true love, she’s just the last one standing. If she really was his true love, he probably wouldn’t be interrupting her and asking the Djinn to change her appearance.
But I think Nandor’s perfectionism is going to go beyond micromanaging Marwa, and he’s going to start holding himself to impossible standards. Because if his relationship with Marwa isn’t working (which it probably won’t), he’s probably going to start blaming himself. It’s going to start out harmless, with silly stuff like “maybe my dick isn’t big enough”, and the Djinn is an easy solution to that, but I can see this going in a very dangerous direction very fast and I’m legitimately worried for Nandor. You could make the argument that Nandor was specifically insecure about his penis after the events in s3e9 when the other vampires were calling it average, and I can only imagine what other insecurities he’s going to blame for his failing relationship.
Anyway, I’m contractually obligated to put a Nandermo spin on this by pointing out that Guillermo was by Nandor’s side even at his worst, and he went out of his way to defend Nandor’s dick in that same episode where everyone was calling it disappointing

D'jinn, Propaganda, and Placement
All constructive feeback and criticism is welcome as always. 1.The Book of the War The Djinn Are part of same Book of Enoch Azazel/EIblis led Gallifreyan rebels that settled in the east. It's not sure whether they rebeled against the anchoring or Rassilon specifcally. Somehow controlled by King Soloman in a manner seen as magic. The Peri Their halfhuman offspring, Mal'akh like the Nephilim. "Giants who suffer from a devouring hunger but do not eat". Percieved abilities: Illusion mastery, dust storm control, shapeshifitng, and limited space tiem maniulation. The leadership, (the Ifrit) are the most powerful and possibly seperate from the Edimmu.
2.The Head of State The 1,002nd Night, (written by Lolita as War propaganda to both sway the reader to her side and get Dave Larsen to murder Matt Nelson so it's historical accuracy is highly suspect). Seems to be an nonsensical narrative that combines the historical events of both the anchoring and the Earth's creation as a Spiral Yssgaroth plug with a new narrative about the Azezel/Eblis rebels somehow breifly stealing either the Eye of Harmony or the Untempred Schism taking it to Earth before Rassilon was convinced by maybe a Shift that the best way to protect it was to bury it on Earth, (which obviously didn't happen).
Thoughts Quelch's presence, (a detail Lolita had no reason to invent and her behaviour is consistant with her other appearance) and the lack of any reference to Lolita's consumption of the Eleven Day Empire's means that the events of the, "The Head of State" take place before those of, "The Eleven Day Empire" and, "Shadow Play". This paired with the knowledge that Lolita at some point met and was mutated buy the Yssgaroth, (hinted in Mujun the Ghost Kingdom and stated in, "Preternatural Nights") suggests that becoming President was not only part of her being important authority figures throughout history attempt to fit the enemy's, "a new kind of history" description but also enable her to meeting the Yssgaroth with the 1,002nd Night and the project name being purposeful confusion/misdirection making people think she was on a wild goose chase for an none existant other Eye of Harmony, (it worked on the Shift). Making the Timelords call their own progress and worth into question by insinuating that they, "cheated" would also be inline with the nature of the known propaganda weapon of Xenoprediction.
"The Runaway Bride" shows us that the Earth was created by a Racnoss vessel purposefully making itself the new planet's core. This can be retconned by having Omega manipulate the Racnoss into, "doing most of the hard work" of creating an artificial planet to serve as a containment shell for him by getting them to believe they could harness the energy that leaked through to maintain their systems while in statis. This would give extra meaning to his statement in, "Interference: Shock Tactics" that he hoped no one would ever try drilling to the artifical planet's core would unleash something dangerous, both the Yssgaroth and the Racnoss. The parallel universe's Inferno Project didn't unleash the Rachnoss because either the Leader neutralised the threat beforehand or they had died out due to a stasis system failure. I personally agree that Lolita was on her own side and that is she won it would be bad for everyone. Thankfully she took several hundred assailants to the face and, "would not be a problem again".

Book 2, final thoughts review
Okay finish reading and really impress with thoughts. I like the what if possibilities if Ruggie and Jamil's plan have succeed. Make sense that Silver is only to destroyed the equipments which damage the relationship but kinda backfired in having more destructive. I'm sure Ruggie and Jamil (in his normal self) wouldn't have done it if they have known.
While the plan is great, the only problem is that Impending doom already aware about this conspiracy which resulted on blaming Leona. And even if they have succeed, Leona wouldn't be happy knowing well Ruggie did it behind his back. So in a way, their plan fails either way.
Those perverted boys are twisted version of the Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum? I mean make sense they are dumb although I did picture Adeuce being more like them. Also I figure they might return in Clock town event, I'm sure they wanted revenge against NRC.
Lucas: I will make sure you eat dirt, Spade!
Epel: Hey, you stay away from him!
Matt: Who is this your girlfriend? How hilarious for a girl to defend you.
Epel: I'm sorry...girlfriend!?
Epel will eat their words hard.
Hope Nunka was spared, I mean Dwala did him a favor and should be allowed to roam free. I love how Dwala is basically Farena's best friend in arms before they got married. Like I can imagine Dwala mocking him for getting dump the suppose brides, their relationship is kinda like Leona and Ruggie with how the hyena mocks Leona. Dwala is a great sister-in-law and Ruggie will be inlaws to her is the best.
Ruggie: You're husband is kinda pathetic.
Dwala: And so is your boyfriend.
Ruggie and Dwala nodded in agreement
Leona forming the lion guards can be good for him, maybe he can let Chuki's children join in especially since Shutani is the twisted version of Kovu's sister who became the leader of the lion guard in the series. Of course once they are able to heal from their mother's influence. Ruggie, Kalim, and Jamil can be good members since Ruggie wanted to help his region and figures being the guard can help maintain the hyena image. Same goes to Kalim and Jamil if there is chance they will stay. I mean at least they have one of them possessing huge water unique magic and kinda ironic to have a snake given that Leona got his scar from a snake. Hope this explores in Sunset Savanah home event, I know you said that his roar wouldn't be around unless in chapter 7 and side story, but I feel like he can use it in his home event and his battle against the Djiin.
-🧋
There was a lot going on with Book 2, I’m glad those final thoughts seemed to have given you a new perspective on a few things.
Oh yes Epel meeting the two idiots will go sideways very quickly. And Ruggie, once he stops being intimidated by Dwala will get along with her shockingly well.
Shetani is going to have a long road ahead for healing but you’re right that I’m planning on letting her join Leona’s guard. The Savanaclaw home event is going to be eventful though since she won’t be redeemed by then. For the roar I want to specify, by plot relevance I mean the progress Leona makes with it and that won’t happen until book 6 with Idia’s intervention. Of course he’s going to try and use it against the Djinn but he doesn’t understand what’s he’s using yet and is cautious because of the side effects he experienced the first time. It’s going to be a last resort thing.

A/N: Here’s another bit of something for my @spnkinkbingo card. This little series is going to cover a few of my squares. As always, feedback is incredible. And, I hope you all enjoy <3
PSA: I am NOT a minor friendly blog. If you are below 18, please come back when you’re older. I don’t want to lose my blog because you were too eager to grow up. If I discover you, I WILL block.

Square Filled: Arranged Marriage
Warnings: Non/Dub con moments. Beaten/Abused reader. Upcoming smut.
Word Count: Roughly 1,800
“We haven't had a hunt in weeks,” Dean grumbled, leaning back in his chair. Quitting the search for a new job with every theatrical mutter he could manage. Time off forcing him to prowl the bunker like a caged beast. Sure enough, the hardened face deepened as he shot to his feet. Continuing his lumbering pace as if he'd never stopped.
“You say that like it's a bad thing,” The younger brother skimmed over the library's walls. Searching for a book that had nothing to do with lore. When he finally settled on one, he stuffed himself into the chair as deep into the corner as he could get. Crossing his leg over his knee as he opened up the hard cover. Breathing in the soft scent of aged paper, Sam let the calm sweep over him. The moment he flipped to the first page, a metallic banging caught his attention. First time, he blew it off. By the third? He had no choice but to grow alert. “You hear that?”
“Oh yeah,” Dean's grin held nothing short of carnal glee as he tugged his pistol from its place beside the abandoned laptop. “Looks like break time is over.” The hammer clicked back. Affirming the statement loudly.
Teeth grinding, Sam nodded. Slamming his novel closed, he got to his feet. Wishing for just one more moment of peace. “Fantastic.”
His own weapon was tugged out as he moved towards the staircase. Braced for war. Werewolves? Vampires? Djinn? They'd pissed off every kind of monster on the planet. Every kind of deity. Other hunters. The possibilities were endless.
“Winchesters!” A male shouted through the door as it slammed open. There were no obvious deformities. Wild, only slightly reddened eyes. Greyed out hair. Normal, albeit damaged, teeth. Shotgun in hand. Definitely a hunter. The man was waving his metal in the air wild in a single palm. His other grip was busy lugging something after him. Something that was fighting back, “You've got a debt to pay!”
“Yeah? Get in line,” Dean stepped forward. Drawing the attention to himself right from the start. Poised and ready to shoot the weapon in an instant. “Who the hell are you?”
“A friend of John's.” That earned a shared glance between the brothers. Their dad had been dead for over a decade. A hell of a long time for someone to go without making contact. A short nod said plenty. They weren't buying it. “Get up, would ya! Always so damn difficult.”
“Let...me...go!” Your voice cried out, making a move to bolt even with your wrists bound behind your back. The door slammed shut, trapping the huddled figure that Sam could just make out. That didn't stop you, though. You changed your course down the stairs in an attempt to get some kind of space. Safety from the lunatic who shared your blood.
The last step was your downfall, though. Your worn boots caught, leaving you to fall forward. Sam didn't hesitate. Moving half a step faster than his brother. The swiftness saving your face from another hard landing. “You okay?”
Your eyes met his as he helped you upright. All E/C and bloodshot from your ordeal. Dark rust crusted down your chin from where your lip had been split. Staining the white tank you wore. Black and blue lined your cheeks. Breathing hard, you remained stoic. Looking over him. Attempting to gauge how much of a threat he'd be to you. Every instinct in his body told Sam to hold on and protect the fragile being in front of him. Even as his brother's brows slammed together in distrust.
A nod was all you could muster. Your father, however, had more to say. “Which of ya two is our dear Sammy boy?”
“Why?” Dean rocked forward, again; blocking his brother as he always did. Not bothering to answer the question. Letting the man assume it was him. All too familiar with what John had thought of his youngest son before he'd croaked. 
If there was a debt? A price on his head? Didn’t matter in the end. Dean'd take it in a heart beat.
“I've got some business to take care of with him.” Came the vague answer before the weapon was trained on the boys. Not taking anything other than what he'd gotten there to accomplish. “Now...which one?”
“Me.” As soon as the word left the younger brother, your eyes jerked up to his face in horror. It was as if you'd been burned. Before he could ask what the deal was, you were scrambling again. Trying to get away from him. Shaking like a leaf all the while. “Hey,” His voice was low as he yanked you into his chest. Attempting to soothe despite the elbow to the stomach he received, “Hey...hey, I don't know what you heard about me...but, I'm not going to hurt you.”
“You better not,” The weapon master at the top of the stairs smirked, looking awfully pleased at the turn of events. “Cause that's your future wife. And you try it? I'll kill ya.”
“Future...Uh...” Sam couldn't even finish that statement as his brother turned to him; mouth open as if he was about to say something and couldn't find the words. Hoping there'd be some kind of clear up from the younger man.
Sam had nothing. He shrugged, eyes equally wide. Unable to provide an answer that made some kinda sense.
“Excuse me?” Dean finally breathed out, turning back to the doorway. Needing a little clarification. “Wife?”
“No!” The word seemed to force out even more of the fight in you. Again, you scrambled. But, the stunned being in front of you wasn't letting you go anywhere. Not until it was all laid out.
“You hush up, girly. Let the men talk.” Your father's words didn't touch you. Instead, your knee came up; knocking into Sam's crotch. Not enough to maim, but just the right amount to get free. “Y/N!” The shout of rage didn't slow you down. Instead, you bolted down through the library.
“She isn't going to get far,” Dean promised as you escaped down the closest hall, preventing your father from hunting you down in their turf. Getting back to business. “Now...talk...fast.”
“You're not goin' to let an old man rest his feet?”
“No.” Sam's answer was stern as he straightened back to his full height. Jaw working as his body throbbed in protest. His weapon raised again. Suddenly more willing to have to pull a trigger. “You stay right there and tell us why we shouldn't shoot you.”
“Shoot me? Me? I'm not the one who broke a signed contract!” Indignation filled the air as the weapon was lowered. The old man shifting into his pocket all the while. His find? A yellowed, wrinkled slip of paper that had seen better days. “I've got the proof right here. Says it in black and white. 'My son Samuel Winchester will be married to your daughter Y/N L/N. Signed, John Winchester.”
“And why would he do something like that?” Dean didn't buy it.
John had made a lot of mistakes with the boys. No one could deny that. But, he hadn't sold his sons. Least of all into marriage. And if he had? He'd have told them, surely.
“Cause I had a lead on a yellowed eyed demon.” Just like that, certainty fled. Weapons dropped an inch. Green eyes met hazel. Both less sure of their footing. “Ya seem to know what I mean.” One step. Two. He made it halfway down the stairs before the guns raised back up to aim for their lethal targets. “John needed help tracking the son of a bitch. I needed someone to look after Y/N when I’m gone...win win.”
Sam felt the breath leave his body. Another betrayal from the man he'd called father. Certain that he'd been sold to the highest bidder. Not for the first time. “Dean...check out that paper.”
The safety was pushed back on the hand gun as the older hunter turned to his brother in confusion, “Where are you goin'?”
“To find my bride.” With that, he turned away. Running his hand through his thick hair. Cursing his bloodline for the millionth time.
“God...”A heavy slam of flesh meeting wood sounded. Trapped in a dead end. “Damn...” Another crash followed in between your cursing. “It!” The cry of rage echoed down the walls as the statement was finished. Just as Sam turned the corner, you slid to the ground in defeat. Arms still trapped behind you. Head bowed. Waiting for the inevitable. “Go away.” It was a weak order delivered through a light stream of tears.
“Can't do that.” Slowly, he crouched down in front of you. “Your old man is kind of insane.”
There wasn't any point in denying that one, “Yeah? Yours, too. Should've seen him that night. Drunk...willing to do anything to get to that demon.” A broken laugh left you as you thought over everything that had led you to that point. “This whole thing is some kinda sick joke. Pops was going to toss that stupid piece of paper til his ‘prodigy’ died. Then, suddenly, you're the magical answer...Like I hadn't kept myself alive this long. Like he'd even cared about me before that...” Clanking metal sounded as you tried to get more comfortable inside your chains. Talking more to yourself than to him. “I don't even know you.”
“I...I get the feeling.” Your eyes lifted back up to him slowly. He wondered what you were seeing. What you were thinking as you looked at your future. “Thing is? I don't...I don't think either one of us is getting out of this without your dad offing someone.” There wasn't a noise from you. Simply silent defeat. “It doesn't have to mean anything, alright? We do the deed. And then you're free.”
“It doesn't work like that.” Once again your head bowed. “He's going to just keep showing up. At least, until he's dead.” Another broken chuckle left you. “Hell...probably even after that. His idea of fatherly duties, apparently.” Your shoulders drooped as the weight grew deeper. “You're right...the only way we're getting out of this is to...to kill him...let him kill one of us...or to go along with it.” Somehow, the last option held the most disdain.
“So...option one?” In his mind, it was the easiest solution.
“He's the only family I've got left...” The only ties to your past. As a Winchester, Sam appreciated the sentiment more than most. He’d done a lot of shit in his life. And yet, somehow, taking away that last link wasn’t something he could hold onto. Not with the amount of sadness residing on your face. No one said a word for a moment. Absorbing the end of the road you both faced. And then? “It's a marriage in name only...you don't touch me. Ever.”
“Deal.” Sam sounded as dead inside as you felt. Both of you sat, waiting to be found. In no hurry to rush into your futures...

Am so in the mood for some fics where John helps Sherlock through detox/cravings/danger nights, anytime throughout the series. Bonus points for Sherlock being scared John will be mad at him or turn away, but John being supportive and understanding!!
anonymous  asked: Do you know of any Sherlock fics that include self harm? Thanks
Hi Guys!! 
Since these are… SORT OF related, I’m putting them together! I don’t have many re: self-harm, so I thought I would add all the drug use, poisoning and the like fics together as well. They’re for both John and Sherlock, so I hope that’s alright! Hope these suffice!!
SELF-HARM
See also Alexx’s Lists:
Self Harm Fics
Self Harm – Part 2
John is drinking too much – Alcoholism
Shut Up and Sleep by Cumberbatch Critter (T, 1,257 w. || Hurt/Comfort, Friendship) – Sherlock has a knack for hurting himself, although not entirely on purpose. John is a doctor, and it’s a good thing he’s there.
Needles by Kryptaria (M, 5,194 w. || Hurt / Comfort, Friendship, Needles, Referenced/Implied Drug Use, Doctor John) – At the end of January, 2010, John and Sherlock move to 221-B Baker Street. By mid-February, John takes up his role not only as Sherlock’s guardian and helper, but also his doctor. As the months pass, they grow closer and the trust between them deepens, until Sherlock puts it to the ultimate test.
I’m Pretty Sure This Changes Shit by cwb (E, 7,672 w. || Fluff, Cudding, Doctor/Patient, Accidents, Pining Sherlock, Blow Jobs, Oral / Anal, BAMF John, Minor Injuries, Dev. Rel.) – Sherlock finds increasingly ridiculous ways to get John to patch him up after hurting himself.
Checkmate to a Castled King by LaSuen (T, 18,290 w. || Friendship, Hurt / Comfort, Sick Sherlock, Rev. Reich.) - John dies. Or at least everyone thinks he does.
The Kissing Disease by cottonballz_of_death (E, 30,856 || Sickfic, Angst with Happy Ending, Case Fic, Self-Harm, Slow Burn, Jealous Sherlock, Body Image Issues, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional H/C, POV Sherlock, Oral / Anal, Thong, Frottage) – John brings home a boyfriend, shocking Sherlock, who long ago gave up hope that his straight flatmate would ever take a romantic interest in him. In a bid to reconnect with John, he tries to infect himself with a “harmless” virus. Neither of them is prepared for the emotional fallout that results.
The Moonlight and the Frost by CaitlinFairchild (E, 77,289 w. || Case Fic, Post-HLV, Self Harm, Virgin Sherlock, First Time, Oral/Anal/Rimming, Romance, Angst, Mary is Not Nice) – John has to somehow rebuild his life in the wake of Mary’s betrayal and Sherlock’s deceptions.
Bleed Me Out by antietamfalls (E, 87,987 w. || Vampire AU || Bonding, Vampire Sherlock, Fluff & Angst, H/C, John Whump, Magical Realism) – John isn’t exactly surprised to discover that Sherlock isn’t human. His vampirism doesn’t pose a problem, even when their relationship gradually grows into something more. That is, until a deadly revelation about John’s blood sends their lives spinning dangerously out of control.
Maintenance and Repair by patternofdefiance (E, 106,650 w. || FutureAU, Augmentation || Augmented John, Depression, Body Modification, Slow Burn, Worldbuilding, Sci-Fi, Self-Care, Body Dysmorphia) – John wants to explain the rush of sensation and data, which is just another form of sensation (or is it the other way around?). John wants to say:Augmentation circuits report temperature, pressure, various forms of quantitative input. Sudden changes are reported as pain, since sudden changes are dangerous, and pain is the quickest way to encourage reflexive extraction. But all John can manage is, “Nng.” Because this sudden touch is not reporting as pain. Part 2 of STATIC
between each beat are words unsaid by darcylindbergh, hudders-and-hiddles (T, 107,998 w. || Epistolary, Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Angst, Happy Ending) – On their wedding night, John and Sherlock gift each other with the things they each said when the other could not hear, the things they each put down where the other could not see: a collection of writings that illustrate the way their love for one another has grown over the years. Part 1 of between each beat
Shatter the Darkness (Let the Light In) by MojoFlower (E, 109,683 w. || Genie/Djinn AU || Magical Realism, H/C, Kidnapping, Genie Sherlock, First Kiss / Time, Case Fic, H/C, Angst, Clubs, John Whump, Mild DubCon) – Fairy tales are for those who remember how to dream; not John Watson, broken and hiding from his bleak future in a beige bedsit. But then he discovers a lamp and finds himself in the dangerous riptide of an enigmatic man whose very existence is unbelievable, murder charges against his sister, and the growing pains of feeling alive once more.
Breakable by MissDavis (E, 117,627 w. || Established, Fluff/Angst, Depression, Paralysis, Happy-ish Ending) – After John is seriously injured, Sherlock struggles to figure out how to help him, keep himself sane, and maybe, just maybe, get their life back to the way it’s supposed to be. Part 1 of Breakable Not Broken
Unkissed Series by 221b_hound (T to E, 184,168 w. across 46 works || Established Relationship, Ace Sherlock) – Sherlock returned from the dead a year ago. John returned to Baker Street six months ago. They’ve been in a couple since then. or at least, not NOT a couple. For two smart men, they sure can be dumb. Luckily, an art thief tries to drown Sherlock, Sherlock has a fever dream and things are about to change.
The Gilded Cage by BeautifulFiction (E, 326,887 w. || Omegaverse || Omega Sherlock / Alpha John, Friends to Lovers, Dub Con, Reproductive Rights) – In a world where Omegas are the property of the elite Alphas, locked away and treasured by those wealthy enough to buy them, John never questioned his flatmate’s secondary gender. Sherlock Holmes was an Alpha through-and through. Wasn’t he? A chance discovery turns the world on its head, and John is left grappling to come to terms with Sherlock’s past as events conspire to threaten their future.
DANGER NIGHTS
Treasure Hunt by ThessalyMc (K, 2,288 w. || ASiB Missing Scene, Danger Nights, Friendship / Family, Seek and Find Game, Smoking) – Mycroft called them ‘danger nights’ because he feared Sherlock’s mood might drive him back to drugs. John knows better. Doesn’t stop him tearing apart the flat he knows is clean, though. He’s not looking for drugs, though. He’s setting up a distraction.
Those Days by StillWaters1 (T, 2,663 w. || Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, PTSD / Sensory Attacks, Caring Sherlock) – If Sherlock had danger nights, then these were John’s danger days.

Hmm…?” He takes a deep breath, waits, lets it out again. “Look at me.” There’s no denying him when he takes this tone. “Why did you kill him? Hmm…? For her? After…” A muscle twitches in the corner of John’s eye, and he clamps his jaw down tightly, swallows and sniffs a little before continuing. “For her? After everything she’s done?” “For you.” Before he can even stop himself. Just like that.
Coming Full Circle by KCS (K+, 2,358 w. || Alternate TGG, Friendship, Drama, Violence/Death References, Drugging/Poisoning, Kidnapping, BAMF John, Moriarty POV, Introspection) – Moriarty had John for almost six hours between his abduction and the showdown at the pool - more than enough time to implement a Plan B for his escape should Sherlock call his bluff with the fake bomb vest.

This time, however, the case is taking longer and longer, and soon John starts to worry. But there’s not much he can do, is there? Because drugging Sherlock isn’t an option.

The Dying Detective Remix by SailorChibi (K, 6,563 w. || Friendship & Family) – No one hates admitting illness or wounds more than Sherlock… perhaps that’s why no one believes him when he actually gets sick.

The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril. They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear. Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods. Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.  {{HAVEN’T READ THIS FIC YET, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION}}

Djinn Hunter #3
Tumblr media
Djinn Hunter #3 Blackbox Comics 2021 Written by Jay Sandlin Illustrated by Fabrizio Cosentino Coloured by Ylenia Di Napoli    What happens when Zara and Bennu crash a wedding? A groom's wish to save his bride's life transforms a village of peaceful mortals into walking undead legions. Finding and trapping the rogue Djinn is only the beginning, as Abyss arrives for the reception.    Well this is an interesting issue that’s for sure.  I like the idea behind the wish and I can understand the desire to be with someone you love with such a passion.  It’s also nice to see the opening here and gain a little more background on Zara and Samira, even if it's only just a brief glance.  Because it still manages to show that regardless of her situation she isn’t going to give up the woman she loves and that’s saying a lot about her character.  I’m really enjoying the way that Jay is managing to bring the past and present together here to show us the future.  I’m sure this is only a four issue run so the next issue should be the climax but something tells me the story isn’t going to end there and I look forward to seeing if it is the end of the arc or the story.  I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a hum dinger.    I am very much enjoying the way that this is being told.  The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfolding as well as how the reader learns information is presented exceptionally well.  The character development that we see through the dialogue, the character interaction as well as how we see them act and react to the situations and circumstances they encounter really helps to bring their personalities to the forefront.  I am pretty impressed with the way that we see the changing personalities throughout the issue.  The pacing is excellent and as it takes us through the pages revealing the story makes us want to see and know more.    I like how we see this being structured and how the layers within the story continue to emerge, grow, evolve and strengthen.  How we see the layers within the story open up avenues to be explored are extremely nice to see and how they add such great depth, dimension and complexity is greatly achieved.  How we see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is impeccably rendered.    I really like the interiors here.  The linework is strong, clean and crisp and with its varying weights and techniques being utilised to create the detail within the work we see is extremely well rendered.  How we see backgrounds being utilised to enhance and expand the moments as well as how we see them work within the composition of the panels to bring out the depth perception, sense of scale and the overall sense of size and scope of the story.  The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a remarkable eye for storytelling.  The creativity and imagination that we see throughout the issue is fantastically rendered.  The various hues and tones within the colours being utilsied to create the shading, highlights and shadow work shows a superb eye for how colour works. ​    The premise here is fantastic and I like how we see Zara as the hound going after rogue Djinn as they grant wishes that are twisted and dark, the whole “be careful what you wish for because you just might get it” gist of these wishes really harken back to the way these things were supposed to work.  After all actions have consequences and no one is as specific as they need to be when making them.  Jay is working this story for all its worth and he’s doing a spectacular job of it too.  The writing is sensational and the characterisation is solid while the interiors are handled exceptionally well.  This reminds us that Djinn aren’t the good guys and that our watered down Disney versions are misleading at best.

Part 17
[Walpurga Nacht Academy]
[Prefect Meeting Room]
Djinn: WELL THEN!! I’LL BE OFF ON MY LONG-AWAITED HOLI- SELF-DISCOVERY VACATION!
Marcia: Yeah, yeah, safe travels and all that. Just set out already before I start crying…
Djinn: HOW TOUCHING!! PERHAPS YOU SHALL WISH TO ACCOMP-
Alkin: That will not happen.
Djinn: !!! A-AHAHAHA! O-OF COURSE!
I was just kidding! A little joke before I go! Boy, even though we haven’t known each other for long, I’m sure that I’ll miss you guys! Maybe we could get together sometime and-
Rosa/Marcia: LEAVE!!!
Djinn: GOTCHA!!! I’LL BRING YOU ALL SOUVENIRS!! THOUGH MAYBE NOT KAPPAS!! AHAHAHAHA!

Blanche: We’re finally over with all that.
June: Yeah… I’ll be goin’ to crash. Cass, ya comin’?
Cass: UM!! Ye-Yes! I’m pretty e-exhausted myself…
Blanche: Divining in such conditions must have taken quite a toll on you. Are you feeling alright?
Cass: O-Oh! It’s no-not quite so stressful, bu-but thank you for the question, Mi-Miss Dion!
June: Cass ain’t that fragile, so no need to look down on her. Gotcha?
Blanche: !! No, of course now… That wasn’t my intention at all…
Cass: U-Um!! But your re-re-reasoning skills we-were really i-i-impressive, Miss Dion! And your strength too, Mi-Miss Himalia!
Blanche: Indeed, I was really surprised when you threw that table.
June: ….. It ain’t a big deal.
Blanche: Perhaps for you, but for us smaller races it really was something else.
If it’s alright I’ll like to ask you a few questions regarding the average strength of the Gigantes race and how body muscle distribution might affect your overall abilities…
Marcia: Oh, Blanche got really caught up in her nerd talk. Lucky~ This way I can make a quick escape without being noticed or yelled at-
Alkin: Oh? Is that so?

Diana: But it’s nice.

Part 16
[Walpurga Nacht Academy]
[Prefect Meeting Room]
Rosa/Marcia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Cass: Mi-Miss Morgainne! Mi-Miss Pyroeis!
Rosa/Marcia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Blanche: You two! It’s-
Rosa/Marcia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Agatha: Ugh… So… loud…
Vita: But they certainly seem to be enjoying themselves~
Rosa/Marcia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
June: ‘EY!! ‘HUT THE FUCK UP, YOU TWO!! YER FUCKIN’ GIVIN’ ME A HEADACHE!
Rosa/Marcia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Huh?
Rosa: No… No way…
Marcia: You’ve got to be kidding me… We’re… We’re…
Rosa/Marcia: WE’RE ALIVE!!
June: ‘HAT DID I JUST SAY, HUH?!
Rosa/Marcia: SORRY!!
Blanche: Still… the fact that we got out like that…
Diana: You did a good job, Vita.
Vita: My~ My~ How kind of you to praise me like this, lioness~
Cass: Um!! Bu-But it’s true that Mi-Miss’ Dies speech wa-was what ma-made Mi-Mister Djinn change his mi-mind. Is th-that right?
Vita: Who could say, my dear~?
June: Tch. Maybe he got cold feet ‘hen he realized he’d have to marry a shitty ghoul like ya…
Vita: Hm~ Perhaps he ought to have kept you inside still, no? You would have made for an amusing ornament at the very least.
June: YA FUCKIN’-
Alkin: Stop that.
Rosa/Marcia: HEAD PREFECT!!
Blanche: Head Prefect… When did you get here?
Alkin: Hmph. Just moments ago. I was rather surprised to see the room deserted. I had expected that you would be finished with your meeting by now and perhaps arguing again. But instead, I come across this djinn’s lamp sitting here in the open…
Marcia: [gulp]
Rosa: Huh?! Wait, you know what it is?
Alkin: Hmph. Of course. This is after all the most basic form of an enchanted object there is. I am certain you are aware of that as well, Morgainne. Are you not?
Rosa: O-OF COURSE!
Alkin: Good grief… To think that you would let yourselves be caught in this trap. You are witches of Walpurga Nacht, are you not? This should have been mere child’s play for you all.
Never mind that. It is good that I found you when I did.
Cass: Um… He-Head Prefect… Could it be yo-you were the one who pu-pulled us out of the la-lamp.
Alkin: That is indeed so. My magical prowess might not be what it used to be, but I still possess that much power.
Blanche: Djinns are some of the more powerful creatures in terms of magic… That you were able to overpower it.
Alkin: Hmph, I am not so old that I completely lost my touch, Dion.
Diana: Nekomatas are strong creatures. They were feared by the mountain people back in the Far East.
Alkin: Indeed. However, this time my job has been made easier by the fact that the Djinn did not attempt to oppose me. In fact, even now he seems to be quite dazed.
Marcia: Even now… What…
Djinn: …………………………………………………………………….
Rosa/Marcia: HE’S STILL HERE!!
Marcia: Quick!! Head Prefect send him flying!
Rosa: That’s right! That’s right! This guy is nothing but trouble! Taking us hostage like that! Ugh, I’m still annoyed by it!
Marcia: Yeah! He needs to be taught a lesson!!
Djinn: No need.
Rosa/Marcia: !!!!
Djinn: I understand quite well your fury… And for that, for everything, I must apologize.
Cass: Um!!
Blanche: He seems quite serious…
Diana: He’s willing to repent.
Djinn: Repent… Yeah, guess that’s right. I really should do that…
Rosa: Wha- What a sudden change of heart…
Djinn: Ha, sudden… Maybe. But what that vi- I mean, what you said earlier really stuck out to me, miss.
Marcia: MISS!! HE CALLED DIES-SENPAI ‘MISS’!! I CAN’T DEAL WITH THIS SUDDEN SHIFT IN ATTITUDE!!
Rosa: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!! IT’S CREEPY!!
June: SHUT IT!!
Vita: My~ ‘Tis rather unexpected to see you look so contemplative.
Djinn: Hm, is that so? Well, I guess I deserved it…
You were right, you know? About the whole chasing after an ideal thing. Truth is, I kept focusing so much on what I thought I wanted, that I never stopped to think why anybody should be interested in me when I’ve got nothing to offer. It really came as a shock, I think.
Alkin: Hmph, these sorts of things tend to happen. Magical creatures think differently from humans, after all.
June: Tch. That ain’t an excuse.
Djinn: No, that’s true. I’ve got a lot of reflecting to do.
THAT’S WHY! I’VE COME TO A DECISION!
Agatha: Ugh… So… loud…
Cass: Um!! Le-Let’s try to he-hear him out still…
Marcia: Cassandra!! I really admire your kindness but this sort of thing is not what should be forgiven so lightly!!
Diana: Still. It could do no harm to listen to him.
Marcia: You say that, but… ugh…
Djinn: You still doubt me-
Well, I can’t say I blame you, but!! What I’m about to say is indeed quite serious and so, I would like to announce that-
I’M GOING ON A TRIP!
Marcia: Oh… that’s…
Rosa: Huh? So that’s…
Marcia/Rosa: HEY!! ACTUALLY!! JUST WAIT A MINUTE!! A TRIP?!
Djinn: You’re completely taken by surprise~ I understand, I understand! Even I was humbled by my genius when I came up with this idea. Yes! I’m simply too amazing for my own mind!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Marcia/Rosa: Grrrrrrrr…
Cass: Um!! A-A trip do-do-does sound quite lo-lovely!
Blanche: I suppose it would be a nice way to unwind after everything that happened…
June: Ha? He’s the one who needs unwindin’?
Djinn: Hey, hey! Don’t misunderstand my intentions, Miss! This is not a trip for pleasure! I’m not some poor, overworked djinn who might need some R&R - though that does sound nice - but rather I’m a djinn who seeks to educate him!! TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED!!
Rosa: En… Enlight- Huh?
Agatha: The… dumb… amoeba… is… really… slow… ehehehehehehe…
Rosa: HEY!! JUST BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT WORDS MEANS-
Diana: Rosalia.
Rosa: !!!
Agatha: Finally… it’s… quiet… No… more… yapping… ehehehehehehe…
Rosa: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
Diana: Enough.
Rosa/Agatha: !!!
Vita: Now, now~ Let us not squabble amongst ourselves~ After all, we should be happy to greet our beloved acquaintance farewell as he leaves on his self-discovery journey~
Djinn: THAT’S RIGHT, MADAM!
Marcia: MADAM!! Now he promoted her?!
Djinn: Your wit is as great as your beauty~
June: Gross.
Djinn: AND YOU HAVE GUESSED RIGHT! THIS TRIP IS A JOURNEY IN WHICH I WILL FACE THE GREATEST OBSTACLE OF ALL: MYSELF!!
Marcia: …… He’s really milking this for all it’s worth, huh?
Blanche: It seems so.
Djinn: Honestly, I think it was about time for me to set on my way~ Really, what you said back in the lamp had such an effect on me that I couldn’t help but think-
“I really should do some work on myself! After all, a well-read, well-travelled and witty man is sure to win a lot of hearts, isn’t he?! That sultry vixen did say-”
Oh, wait, I think I said too much there.
Vita: Fufu~
Diana: Vita has a good eye for men.
Marcia/Rosa: SHE DOES?!
Vita: Well, of course. After all, I would not be with my husband if ‘twas not the case~
Djinn: I gotta agree with that. You really did such a heart-wrenching, gut-slashing, neck-snapping analysis of me that it left me completely speechless for a few moments! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Blanche: ….. He’s saying all this with a smile. I really can’t understand magical creatures.
Alkin: Hmph. Do not lump us all in together like that.
Vita: I have always had an eye for people~
Djinn: HAHAHAHA! Your husband must be a truly lucky man!
June: Yeah, right.
Djinn: THEN WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!
ALL OF YOU! RIGHT NOW! STATE YOUR WISH!
Marcia: ……………………………………………. HUH?! OUR WISH?! HUH?!
Blanche: … Did you not say that modern djinn no longer grant wishes?
Djinn: Oh, that’s a great memory you have there, miss! I did indeed say that - but it’s not the whole truth.
You see, we are still pretty much capable of granting wishes but it takes a lot more energy nowadays! Magic just ain’t what it used to be… STILL! After everything I put you through, I think it’s only fair that I work up a bit of sweat for you guys! So, I’m granting all of you ONE WISH AS A GROUP!
Marcia: ALRIGHT, THEN LET’S GET RICH-
Rosa: ONLY YOU WANT THAT, SCUMMY MARCIA!
Marcia: HUH?! NO WAY!!
Blanche: Rosalia is right. Wasting the wish on something like wealth would be an insult to all that’s happened in the lamp. I think we should use it for something mutually beneficial.
Diana: Mm.
Agatha: Gross…
Vita: Now, now~ Perhaps we ought to give this a try, my dear Agatha. Shall we wish for a land-shattering earthquake, hm?
Agatha: Ehehehehehhe… that… would… be… fun… Big… Sis… always… has… the… best… ideas…
June: LIKE HELL SHE DOES!! ‘HAT AIN’T GONNA BENEFIT ANYBODY!!
Blanche: I agree with Himalia-senpai. It should be something different-
Perhaps peace among the nations?
Agatha: That… sounds… dumb… ehehehehehehhe…
Cass: Um!! I think pe-peace should be ni-nice!
Diana: Peace cannot be obtained through force.
June: Yeah, people will just find somethin’ new to complain about.
Cass: Oh… I-I guess that’s true…
Rosa: Hmmmmmmmmm.
Agatha: Seeing… the… amoeba… so… deep… in… thought… is… funny… I… didn’t… think… she… could… be… that… smart…
Rosa: YOU-!!!
Marcia: Haaa, drop it, Rosalia. It’s not worth it…
Still, I don’t think I’ve seen you that concentrated in my entire life. Were you thinking about the wish?
Rosa: ……………………. I feel like there’s something really condescending in your tone, Marcia, but I’ll ignore it for now.
And, yeah, I have been thinking about the wish! And I was wondering-
Could we just do it for somebody we really cared about? Instead of the whole world?
Blanche: Passing the gift of appreciation forward… Hm, that is not a bad idea.
Cass: Um!! I think it’s re-really ni-nice!
Marcia: Hm~ It’s not what I had in mind, but I guess it works too.
June: Fine by me, as long as ‘hat person ain’t the shitty ghoul.
Diana: There is somebody who we all should think of.
Agatha: Ugh… even… though… it… should… be… Big… Sis…
Vita: My~ I think ‘tis quite a wondrous idea~ Our beloved kitten should quite beside himself~
Alkin: Hm?
Rosa: Alright! Then it’s decided!
Djinn! We made our choice!

[Djinn’s Lamp]
Djinn/Rosa: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!
Vita: ~
Djinn: A-A-A-A-A-
Rosa: HUSBAND?!
Diana: Mm.
Blanche: … That man.
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mister… Shroud… um…
Rosa: Shroud?! You mean from Night Raven?! That Prefect of Igni-Igni-Igni-
Marcia: Ignihyde! Geez, you can’t even remember that much… And why do you sound so surprised to hear about this in the first place?!
Rosa: Why?! Wouldn’t the better question be why you don’t seem surprised at all?!
Marcia: Ha? It’s ancient news. Why would I be surprised?
Rosa: HUH?! YOU MEAN- ALL OF YOU?!
Blanche: It’s well known, Rosalia.
Diana: Mm.
Cass: Mi-Mi-Miss Dies me-mentioned him at our la-la-last meeting too. Do you re-re-remember, um?
Rosa: !!! TH-THAT!! O-OF COURSE I REMEMBER!! HAHAHA! I WAS TOTALLY PAYING ATTENTION AND ALL THAT!
Blanche: ………..
Rosa: I-In any case, isn’t senpai having a husband bad news for us?!
Marcia: … I wonder.
Djinn: A husband… [mumble]...
Vita: Indeed~ My heart is already sworn to another~
Djinn: Heart… [mumble]... sworn… [mumble]...
Vita: You certainly are the type to come to conclusions slowly~
Djinn: A husband…………………………………………………………………….
………………………………………………………………………………………..
IT DOES NOT MATTER!
Rosa: HUH?!
Marcia: I KNEW IT! THAT DEVIANT!
Djinn: No, no, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense! A beauty like you must have caught the eye of many disgusting and cruel men. It’s only natural! Romance novels often have a beautiful heroine trapped by a deranged man waiting to be rescued! Yes, yes, this is simply just such an example!
Rosa: This… This guy…
Marcia: Must be nice living in your own fantasy land like that~
Djinn: THEN I KNOW WHAT I MUST DO!
VIXEN, SIMPLY GIVE ME A NAME AND I SHALL DO AWAY WITH THAT DETESTABLE MAN FOREVER!
Vita: Oh, would you be so kind~?
Djinn: OF COURSE! ANYTHING FOR MY BRIDE!
Vita: Wonderful~ Then take this detestable djinn away from me~
Djinn: A-Ahahahaha, my-my dear, the only djinn around here is me…
Vita: Indeed~
Djinn: ……………………………….. AHAHAHAHA, WHAT A FUNNY JOKE!
How wonderful that our sense of humour matches~
Vita: Oh, but it really was no jest at all~
Do you believe that I would even look twice at a man like you when I already am bound to my love?
Djinn: A man like- What’s that supposed to mean?! Are you dissatisfied with any of my qualities?!
Vita: Dissatisfaction, hm~ That is such a light word. Perhaps disgusted might be more appropriate?
Djinn: DISGUSTED?!
Vita: Oh, would you then prefer ‘repulsed’ instead?
Djinn: GUH!
Vita: Repelled?
Djinn: AH!
Vita: Utterly and entirely nauseated?
Djinn: UGH!
Rosa: SHE’S RUTHLESS! COMPLETELY RUTHLESS!
Marcia: If this keeps on maybe he’ll keel over and finally die!
Diana: Hm. Vita is the sort of woman who never forgives a slight.
Vita: Well of course~ Anybody who would dare speak such unkindness and slander against my beloved Agatha deserves nothing more than to become mulch for the plants~
Agatha: …………………………………………………… Big… Sis…
Vita: I am truly sorry for letting you experience something like that, my dear. But I can assure you this man is nothing but a fool and scum so you shall not entertain even a minute of the rabble that he spews forth.
Agatha: …………………………………………… Ehehe……
Vita: Oh my~ Your smile is so charming that I feel completely refreshed~
Rosa: I-Is that so…
Marcia: I only felt shivers running down my spine… But telling this to senpai now of all times…
Blanche: It would clearly be a bad choice.
Marcia: I know that! You don’t have to remind me!
Djinn: ……………………………………………………. Nng…
Marcia: Huh? What’s with his face?
Djinn: ………………………………… Nng…. ugh….
Rosa: !!! A-Am I the only one who’s got a bad feeling about this?
Djinn: …………………………………. Ngg……… ugh….. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
Vita: Hm~?
Djinn: YOU…………………. YOU…………………..
Vita: Yes~?
Djinn: IT MAKES NO SENSE!!
Vita: Oh?
Djinn: ‘A man like you’, ‘my love’, ‘a husband’.... I DON’T GET IT!! HOW CAN YOU REJECT ME LIKE THIS?! AND FOR A MERE MORTAL TOO?!
Vita: I would certainly watch my tongue if I were you~ You had already stirred my ire when you have spoken so crassly to my beloved Agatha, and now you dare speak ill of my love? I shall not be merciful any longer if you continue to misbehave like this~
Djinn: THAT’S IT!! THAT’S WHAT I WANT!!
That confident expression, that devotion to your loved one, that hourglass figure - YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY THE TYPE I WANT! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
Yes! I truly think we are destined to be together, vixen! So then… So then… WHY DO YOU STILL REJECT ME?!
Vita: Why? Hm. Let me ask you a question then-
What do you presume my name is?
Djinn: ………………………… Huh?
Vita: If you are to be my beloved then surely you must know~
Djinn: ……………………………………….
O-Of course! Something so simple… Of course, I would know something like that!
Vita: Then?
Djinn: Uh…………………………………………. I-I clearly said I know already so why do I have to say it out loud?! Do you not trust me?
Vita: No~
Djinn: SO DIRECT!! Bu-But that’s exactly what I like about you… THAT HONESTY OF YOURS! IT’S REALLY, REALLY ATTRACTIVE!
With a woman like you by my side, I’m sure I could achieve anything!! So then-
Vita: Well then~ That is indeed quite adorable~ Then let me offer you some more of this dear honesty that you seem to crave~
If you wish to capture another’s heart, then you must offer something of value to them. Love is formed on this foundation of lending and borrowing and if one has nothing to offer, then he shall receive none~
Djinn: ……………………… Lending and borrowing……………… Hmph, I see………..
You are a really material woman, aren’t you? But no problem! FOR I CAN OFFER YOU ALL! SO THEN!
In exchange for marrying me, I shall give you - WEALTH THAT WILL LAST YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!
What do you say?
Vita: I shall pass~
Marcia: THAT’S SUCH A GOOD OFFER THOUGH!!
Rosa: Hey! Scummy Marcia! Pipe down!
Djinn: Yo-You will pass?! On wealth?!
Ugh, fine… I understand… Then, how about - ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD!!
Vita: I shall pass~
Djinn: A-AGAIN?!
Then, uh… I know - BECOMING RULER OF THIS WORLD!
Vita: Pass~
Djinn: A TOUCH THAT TURNS EVERYTHING INTO GOLD!
Vita: Oh, how dull~
Djinn: A MILLION DJINN SERVANTS?!
Vita: I shall decline~
Djinn: ETERNAL LIFE?
Vita: Oh, that sounds repulsive.
Djinn: ETERNAL YOUTH?!
Vita: Just as dreadful.
Djinn: THEN- THEN- THEN………………………………………………
………………………………………………… AAAAAAAH! I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL!!
Vita: So it seems~
Djinn: Wealth, power, youth… None of these things satisfy you… It’s like I’m wasting my breath. I just don’t understand… What is it that would convince you?! Just what can I offer you so you may become my bride?!
Vita: My, you certainly are a slow one~ But, since I am so merciful, I shall kindly inform you of my request~
You see, my dear, there is simply nothing that you could offer me to convince me to become your wife. ‘Tis quite a lost cause. And I am eternally loyal to my love~
Djinn: …………………………………. THIS!! THIS!! IT’S UNACCEPTABLE!
Vita: Do not throw a tantrum now. ‘Tis unsightly. And I assumed you would be overjoyed with my response, so I do not understand your vexation at all.
Djinn: …………………. Overjoyed?! Why should I be overjoyed?!
Vita: Hm~ Could it be that you did not realize it yet?
Djinn: Realize what?!
Vita: That you do not truly wish to find any bride at all.
Djinn: !!!
Wha… What are you talking about?! Do you think this was all a game or something?! How dare you doubt my intentions like that?!
Vita: How? It was obvious from the very start~
Djinn: !!!
Rosa: HUH?! I-Is senpai right?! Is that true?!
Djinn: ……………………………………
Marcia: HAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Hey, you dumb djinn, say something!! You better not be telling us senpai is right!!
Djinn: ……………………………………
Vita: Fufu~ You have suddenly become so bashful~ How adorable. However, no matter how hard you attempt to hide it, your true intentions were obvious from the start, even when you yourself were not aware of it.
‘Tis as I told you, my little hare - love cannot be understood by those who cannot be able to compromise.
Blanche: ………………………………
Vita: My~ Your troubled expression is simply adorable~ But you cannot deny that I am in the right, can you?
From the moment we were spirited here, this djinn has done nothing but force us to prove ourselves to him. We were given demands to which we had to comply, then swiftly punished when we could not follow through. When we spoke our mind we were rebuffed, were we not?
Marcia: ….. That’s….
Vita: And even your attempts at appealing to him have fallen through. Looks, personality - none of it mattered in the end.
Rosa: That’s… That’s true. He really kept complaining about everything.
Diana: Mm.
Vita: Of course~ Love that which seeks only demands, is no love at all. No foundation can be built upon such treacherous ground, for if one is to eternally compromise, then all one does is wait for the sinking sands to swallow them whole.
Djinn: !!!
Vita: Oh, do you find my words displeasing?
Then let me ask you this - just who do you are to make such ridiculous demands of us when you yourself have nothing to offer but petulance and stubbornness? You speak of love as if it were just an ideal, and seem to forget that any such concept is fraught with imperfections and flaws.
If ‘tis an ideal that you seek, then I advise you to stop looking, for you shall never find it at all.
Until you can learn that then you have no business proposing to the likes of me.
Djinn: ………………………………………………………………………………………….
Marcia: ……………………….
Rosa: ……………………………..
Djinn: ………………………………………………………………………………………..
Marcia: He-Hey, is… He just froze, uh… What….
Djinn: ………………………………………………………………………………….
[rumble]
Rosa: Huh? Hey, did you hear that? Just what-
[BOOM, CRASH]
Rosa: HUH?! THE GROUND IS SHAKING?!
Blanche: That- It’s the same wind as before!
[BOOM, CRASH]
Marcia: THE HO-HOURGLASSES!!
Cass: UM!! WE-WE’RE SHA-SHAKING TOO!! UM!!
[BOOM, CRASH]
Marcia: WE’RE GONNA CRASH AND DIE!! DAMN IT!! THIS IS ALL SENPAI’S FAULT!!
[BOOM, CRASH]
Blanche: Wa-Wait! That light!!
[BOOM, CRASH]
Rosa/Marcia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

Agatha: GYAHAHAHAHAHA! HE… GOT… THEM… BOTH… GYAHAHAHAHA!
Vita: My, my, how our numbers have been thined~
Cass: This, um!! I’m so-so-sorry for-
Blanche: No, Cassandra. It’s alright. I’m partially to blame for this as well. So don’t let yourself carry all the blame, ok?
Cass: Um… tha-thank you, Miss Dion…
Marcia: Wah~ How nice that everybody made up~ Isn’t it nice that we’re friends again who don’t hold any grudges towards one another? Hm? It’s really, really nice, right?
Rosa: [DON’T ACT LIKE WE’RE JUST SWEEP ALL THIS UNDER THE RUG!!]
Marcia: GUH!!
Rosa: [Listen!! The situation just got a lot worse, so hearing your self-pitying speeches is gonna drive me up the wall!! From now on until we are freed you are forbidden from opening up your mouth, got it?!]
Marcia: Huh?! What’s with this interdiction?! Why do I have to be the one who shuts up?!
Rosa: [Because every time you open your mouth, you just get us into more trouble!! Scummy Marcia!!]
Marcia: HEY, THAT’S-
Djinn: SHUT IT!! BOTH OF YOU!!
Rosa: [!!]
Marcia: Th-This guy is really… We better shut up, I guess.
Rosa: [Ye-Yeah, until we end up getting out of here.]
Marcia: Hm~ That’s a nice delusion~
Rosa: [Delusion?! What do you mean by that?! Huh?!]
Marcia: Why… Just look at who’s left standing.
Agatha: GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Vita: Fufufufufufufu~
Rosa: ………………………………………………….
[SU-SURELY! Surely even Vita-senpai and Agatha have a he-heart left, right?! There’s no way they’re going to abandon us, or trade us, or sell us, or betray us, or… or… or…]
Marcia: Rosalia… It’s time to wake up to the truth.
Rosa: [Hu-Huh?! Why do you look like a world-weary traveller when you say that?! It’s creepy! A-And giving up just like that…
No!! I have faith that Vita-senpai a-and Agatha… That they… Um…]
Agatha: Big… Sis… I… wanna… try… rattling… that… stupid… amoeba’s… hourglass… hehehehehehe… I… bet… it’s… gonna… make… a… nice… sound… ehehehehehehe…
Vita: My~ I never expected you would develop such an interest in music, my dearest Agatha~ Shall I buy some instruments to practice on the hard glass~?
Agatha: Ehehehehehe… Big… Sis… understands… me… completely…
Rosa: […………………………………………. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! WE’RE DOOMED, AREN’T WE?! WE’RE GONNA SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES IN THIS HOURGLASS UNTIL WE WITHER AWAY AND ARE NOTHING MORE THAN SKELETONS!! AREN’T WE?! THAT’S GONNA BE OUR FATE FROM NOW ON!!]
Djinn: HEY, FLUFFY HAIR, I TOLD YOU TO KEEP IT DOWN!!
Rosa: [NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I DON’T WANT TO DIE HERE!! I BARELY JUST STARTED MY LIFE!! IT CAN’T END LIKE THIS!! IT SIMPLY CAN’T!! I DIDN’T EVEN GET TO HAVE MY SUPER ROMANTIC FIRST KISS!!]
Marcia: That’s what you’re worried about?!
Rosa: [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!]
Djinn: HEY!! LISTEN TO ME BEFORE I SMITE YOU!! I’M REALLY DONE WITH ALL YOUR GAMES!!
Agatha: Hehehehehehehe… the… stupid… amoeba… is… gonna… be… fried… ehehehehehehehe…
Vita: It is certain to be quite the amusing sight~
Marcia: Amusing… ACTUALLY!! HEY DJINN, WAIT A SECOND!!
Djinn: YOU AGAIN!! What do you want now?!
Marcia: Ugh, you’re really just… Listen, if you want to smite us or whatever, fine, just do whatever it is that you want-
Rosa: [HEY!]
Marcia: - BUT I’LL BE DAMNED IF I’M LETTING SENPAI GETTING AWAY WITH LAUGHING AT ME!! I STILL GOT MY PRIDE, YA KNOW?! SO THEN-
IF YOU MIGHT AS WELL IMPRISON US ALL, MAKE SURE YOU GET SENPAI TOO!!
Rosa: [SO PETTY!!]
Marcia: SHUT IT!! IT’S SO MY SOUL CAN MOVE ON IN PEACE!!
Agatha: What… a… dumb… unpleasant… chowder…
Vita: How adorable~ That pettiness makes me shiver with delight~
Marcia: HEY!! STOP ENJOYING YOURSELF, YA FREAK!!
Djinn: ALL OF YOU JUST STOP SHOUTING!! YOU’RE ALL ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE WOMEN AND I HAVE NO INTENTION… OF… OF… OF…
……………………………………………………………….
Rosa: [………………………………………. He stopped.]
Blanche: Just what is he planning.
Cass: Um, ma-ma-maybe he re-re-reflecting on his a-a-actions… um?
Diana: No.
Cass: Um!!
Diana: Watch his gaze.
Rosa: [His gaze? Uh, it’s pointed straight at…]
Vita: Hm~?
Djinn: ……………………………………………..
Vita: ~
Djinn: ……………………………………………….. JACKPOT!
Rosa: [!!]
Blanche: !!
Diana: It’s starting.
Marcia: ALRIGHT, IT’S SENPAI’S TURN! REAP WHAT YOU SOWED!
Vita: Oh my~
Djinn: QUIET BACK THERE!! We’re in the presence of a lady, you floozies!
Rosa: [FLOOZIES?!!!]
Marcia: AFTER HE TRIED TO MARRY US TOO!! HEY, WHO DO YOU THINK YA ARE, HUH?!
Djinn: Marry you two?! No way!! You’re definitely not my type at all!! I’m a Djinn with high standards, you know?! I wouldn’t go just after any woman! That’s right! It’s gotta be a tough decision-making process! Yup! Can’t just let anybody score a catch like me after all!!
THAT’S WHY!!
Agatha: Ugh… he’s… too.. close… It’s… gross… Right… Big… Sis… ?
Vita: Oh~
Djinn: CONGRATULATIONS, VIXEN, YOU HAVE MET ALL MY CRITERIA FOR THE PERFECT BRIDE-
Rosa: [HUH?! But she’s way over 165 cm!!]
Djinn: You fool! Does height even matter when it’s true love?!
Rosa: [I’M GONNA CURSE THIS GUY TO HELL AND BACK, UGHHHHH!!]
Marcia: Don’t mind, don’t mind.
Djinn: AHEM! As I said-
You have met all my criteria for the perfect bride, and that’s why, I’m offering you, the one-in-a-lifetime opportunity of mar-
Agatha: Hold… it… you… smoky… chum…
Djinn: !!!
Vita: My~
Marcia: HEY!! AGATHA!! DON’T YOU DARE INTERFERE!! IT’S TIME SHE GOT A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE!
Agatha: Shut… up… you… dumb… flying… chowder… As… long… as… it… was… you… guys… I… didn’t… care… about… what… happened… since… you’re… all… so… annoying… But… I… won’t… let… Big… Sis… be… bothered�� by… the… likes… of… him…
Diana: Mm. That is a beautiful loyalty.
Marcia: DON’T YOU GO AND PRAISE HER, DIANA!! SCOLD HER!! SCOLD HER!!
Agatha: Ugh… dumb… chowders… all… yapping… and… yapping… Big… Sis… is… too… good… for… the… likes… of… this… guy…
That’s… why… if… he… wants… a… bride… I’d… rather…
Djinn: UGLY!!!
Agatha: !!
Rosa: [!!]
Marcia: !!
Djinn: SUPER UGLY!! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I REFUSE!!
[TIME’S UP!]
Agatha: !!
Vita: …….
Diana: ……
Blanche: …… That….
Cass: Mi-Mi-Miss Voisin, a-a-are you alright? Um…
Djinn: THAT’S GONNA MAKE ME HAVE NIGHTMARES!!
What was that, huh?! I thought so from the beginning, but what was with that thing?! It had dead eyes just like a fish, but it walked like a human!! No, no, no, no, no matter how you look at it something like that can’t be my bride!! Is it even human in the first place?!
Agatha: ……………………………………………….
Marcia: He-Hey, you’re going too far… Saying something like that to Agatha…
Djinn: Too far?! Have you seen how it stands?! How it walks?! If I saw that at night I think my heart would stop from fright! No, no way! I won’t ever want to get married to something like that!
Rosa: HOW DARE YOU?!
Djinn: !!!!!!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Miss Morgainne…
Rosa: How dare you say that to her after everything you’ve done?! And calling her an ‘it’?? Like she’s not even human!! And all based off her appearance!!
Who are you to even dare-
Djinn: Woah, woah, woah, stop right there, fluffy hair! I wasn’t even talking about you so why you’d get all worked up over it?! I saw you two, you know? All you two ever did was fight, so why you gotta go and defend her like this?!
Rosa: Whether we get along or not isn’t any of your business!! Agatha and I might butt heads all the time, and she might pick on me a lot, but I would never go so far as to insult somebody like that!!
Marcia: Ah, well, actually…
Djinn: Ha?! What do you even by insult?! Have you taken a look at it?! I’m just stating the obvious!
Agatha: ……………………………………………..
Rosa: ARGHHHHHH!!! I’M DEFINITELY GONNA MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!! OTHER PEOPLE’S LOOKS ARE NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS SO DON’T YOU DARE-
Djinn: HUH?! ARE YOU OFF IT, FLUFFY HAIR?! THE TRUTH’S THE TRUTH, NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT!!
Rosa: GRRRRRRRR!!! YOU’RE JUST-
Djinn: AND YOU-
Marcia: HE-HEY-
Vita: Enough.
Djinn: !!!
Rosa: !!!
Marcia: !!! Cra-Crap… I know that look…
Rosa: That serene smile…
Rosa/Marcia: SHE’S DEFINITELY PISSED!!
Djinn: O-Oh, is there something wrong, vi-vixen? Are you that excited about the two of us-
Vita: ‘The two of us’? Are you an imbecile? Or merely playing at one?
Djinn: HUH?!
Marcia: CRAP!! ‘IMBECILE’!! IT’S A FIT DESCRIPTION, BUT IS NOW REALLY THE TI-
Vita: Silence.
Marcia: Yep~ Gotcha~ I’ll be as quiet as a mouse from now on~
Rosa: ………………………………
Djinn: Hey, hey, hey! Where did this attitude come from?! Up until now, you were all playful and sexy, and now…
Vita: ……………………………………… ~
Djinn: COLD! THAT GAZE IS SO COLD THAT IT’S GONNA FREEZE MY SOUL!!
Vita: Oh, you are in the habit of flattering yourself. I suggest that you renounce it soon.
Djinn: BULLIED!! I’M BEING BULLIED!!
But… But… I KINDA LIKE THIS TOO!!
Rosa/Marcia: YOU MASOCHIST!!
Djinn: Aaaah~ There’s just something about being stared at derogatorily by you, vixen, that soothes my soul~
O-Once… Once more! Please!
Vita: Hmph.
Djinn: THAT’S IT~~~~~~~~~ HITTING JUST THE RIGHT SPOT~~~~~~~~
Rosa: …………………………….
Marcia: ……………………………..
Djinn: Now… Now, I know for sure… This feeling… It’s the first time that I ever felt like this… Yes, it must surely mean…
THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS, VIXEN! YOU AND I ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER! THAT’S WHY, FROM NOW ON, YOU SHALL BE MY NEW BRIDE!!
WHAT DO YOU SAY?!
Vita: Hm~ I refuse, of course~
Djinn: HUH?! WHY?! WHAT REASON COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE?!
Vita: Hm~? A reason?
I already have a husband~
Djinn/Rosa: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!!

Agatha: Ugh… so… shiny…
Vita: My~ What a fetching wedding dress~ But, hm, is the colour not rather drab? I believe a nice black would better suit you still~
Agatha: Ehehehehehe… as… always… Big… Sis’... taste… is… amazing…
Rosa: [AAAAH! SERIOUSLY! Stop nitpicking everything when you’re not even helping at all!]
Cass: Umm!!!!
Blanche: Hm, she even sounds like Cassandra when she’s angry. I suppose this sort of dedication is normal among actors…
Djinn: …
Blanche: Well, then- Djinn. What do you think?
Djinn: …
Cass: H-He’s staring so so-solemnly! Di-Did it work?
Rosa: [Hehe, looks like he’s bewitched by my skills~ I’m not the Prefect of Rosenhex for nothing after all, you know?]
Djinn: …
Rosa: [Uh, is-is he alright? He hasn’t said anything yet…]
Cass: Ma-Maybe he’s so be-be-bewitched that he’s speechless, um?
Blanche: … Djinn.
Djinn: … Hm?
Blanche: Well?
Djinn: Well, what?
Blanche: … what? We have brought before you, your ideal bride, have we not? All the specifications that you require are there too. Height, measurements and voice. And her behaviour is perfectly suited to you as well. For example-
Rosalia, what should you do if your loved one is feeling down?
Rosa: [That’s easy! I will gently comfort him and make him realize there’s still hope for the future! No matter what happens, I will always support him!]
Blanche: Exactly. This is what you requested, is it not?
Djinn: … I suppose.
Blanche: … So then?
Djinn: Then?
Blanche: … Our deal. Are you going to honour it or not?
Djinn: Haaaa, that…
Blanche: …
Djinn: Pass.
Blanche: ?!
Rosa: [HUH?! PASS? PASS WHAT?!]
Agatha: She’s… still… going… ehehehehe…
Blanche: … I’m sorry… I don’t understand. Does Rosalia not meet your qualifications to the letter?
Djinn: Well, yeah, but-
Blanche: But?
Djinn: Hm~ I’m just not feeling it.
Blanche: … Pardon?
Djinn: How should I put this? Even though she should 100% be my type, I just don’t feel any sparks at all! Do you know what I mean?
Blanche: …
Vita: Fufufu~
Rosa: [DON’T LAUGH!! WHAT’S SO FUNNY ABOUT THIS?!]
Vita: Nothing~ I am merely amused to see that my predictions have been accurate as expected~
Rosa: [GRRRRRR!! I’VE HAD IT WITH ALL OF THIS! WITH YOU SENPAI AND ESPECIALLY WITH- YOU!!!!]
Djinn: Me?! Why are you pointing at me like that?!
Rosa: [BECAUSE I’M SICK OF YOU! FIRST, YOU POP OUT OF THAT STUPID LAMP, THEN YOU GET US SUCKED IN AND WON’T LET US OUT UNTIL WE MEET YOUR RIDICULOUS DEMANDS-]
Djinn: RIDICULOUS?! How can you say that when I’ve been nothing but reasonable and kind?!
Rosa: [HUH?! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?! All you’ve done was complain and complain and complain! You’ve found fault with all of us when you’re barely anything to talk about!]
Djinn: HEY! LISTEN HERE, FLUFFY HAIR-
Rosa: [THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! What’s with the dumb nicknames, huh? And those stupid jokes?! Who’s even laughing at those?! Geh! I’m just getting annoyed thinking of them! Who are you even trying to impress?! You’re barely putting any effort in anything!! Even this place is a disaster! Not to talk about your lame fashion sense and the gaudy decoration and-]
Djinn: THAT’S IT!! [TIME UP!]
Cass: Mi-Miss Morgainne!
Agatha: GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Blanche: !!!!
Djinn: Seriously, that girl- To think she’d blow up like that. NOT CUTE! THAT’S NOT CUTE AT ALL!
Rosa: [LIKE I EVEN CARE ABOUT THAT ANYMORE! Who’d even want to be your wife when you can’t even dress well?!]
Djinn: Hey!! I’ll have you know that this happens to be all the rage in the djinn circles!!
Rosa: [Like I even would believe that! Bleh! You baldy! You liar! You lame-o!]
Marcia: BWAHAHAHAHA! SHE’S REALLY GOING FOR IT! NICE, ROSALIA! YOU’VE TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF IN MY EYES!
Rosa: [You cheapskate!]
Marcia: Twat!
Rosa: [Knob head!]
Marcia: Slag!
Cass: Um, th-they’ve really be-be-become animated now…
Vita: My~ What colourful language~
Agatha: Idiots… ehehehehehe… not… cute… at… all…
Djinn: ENOUGH! YOU TWO ARE REALLY CROSSING THE LINE NOW!
How much abuse do you think I can take, huh?!
Rosa: [Like we care!]
Marcia: That’s right, that’s right~ We’ve completely crossed over and are mutineering! If you wanna stop us, ya gotta come and get us!
Rosa: [Jerk!!]
Diana: They’re just needlessly barking.
Blanche: …
Cass: Um- Wh-What should we do?! Mi-Mi-Miss Dion?!
Blanche: …
Vita: My~ It seems the little hare is lost for words~
Agatha: What… a… shame… ehehehehehehe…
Blanche: …
Djinn: HEY! DON’T YOU STICK YOUR TONGUES OUT AT ME! AND WHAT’S WITH THAT- HEY! DID YOU JUST FLIP ME OFF, FLUFFY HAIR?!
Blanche: … Why?
Cass: Um…
Blanche: Why?
Diana: …
Djinn: DON’T YOU MAKE ME-
Blanche: DJINN!
Djinn: YE-YES?!
Agatha: He… jumped… ehehehehehe…
Vita: ‘Tis shall become quite fascinating~
Blanche: Djinn…
Djinn: Ye-Yes? What can I do for you, bunny girl?
Blanche: Could you please confirm just what precisely was it about Rosalia that displeased you so?
Djinn: Well, uh, you know… It was just…
Blanche: …
Djinn: Uh…
Marcia: Man, Blanche looks super scary like that…
Rosa: [Ye-Yeah, no wonder the guy’s intimidated…]
Marcia: Hey, drop the voice already. It’s getting really weird, you know?
Blanche: Well?
Djinn: It was, you know… The fact that… She…
Blanche: …
Djinn: … Uh…
Blanche: So, you can’t even tell me just what it was that you disliked, huh?
Are you that incompetent?
Djinn: EH?!
Marcia/Rosa: HUH?!
Marcia: He-Hey, did Blanche really just…
Rosa: [... tell that guy off?]
Marcia: Seriously, just stop it.
Djinn: In-In-In-In-In-In-competent?! Yo-You dare speak to me like this?! You-
Blanche: What else am I supposed to call you after you have shown us that you are incapable of even arguing your own position in this matter?
Djinn: Hey!! That’s not true, I-
Blanche: Is it not? Then how would you explain the stuttering mess that you have settled on just before? To think that a powerful creature like you can’t even manage such a thing…
It is simply pitiful.
Rosa: [She’s not holding back at all!!]
Marcia: Ugh, it kinda reminds me of when she’s mad at me...Brrrrrr.
Djinn: NOW LISTEN HERE-
Blanche: I am, but you clearly have nothing useful to say at all.
I’m done here. This is just a waste of my time.
Djinn: YOU… YOU… YOU DARE- WITH THOSE JUDGING EYES! LIKE YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME!
THAT’S IT! IF IT’S JUST A WASTE OF YOUR TIME, THEN-
[TIME’S-]
Cass: WA-WAIT!
Djinn: ????
Blanche: !!!!!
Marcia: CA-CASSANDRA?!
Blanche: Why are you-
Cass: Um-
Djinn: MOVE IT, STARRY EYES! I’M IN A FOUL MOOD RIGHT NOW! I’M NOT FORGIVING ANYBODY!
Cass: I-I-I-I understand… But!! Please he-he-hear me o-o-o-out!!
Blanche: Cassandra, what are you-
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Mister Djinn!
Djinn: GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Cass: Um…. Um…. Um…
I-I-I-I WOULD LI-LI-LIKE TO OFFER MYSELF UP A-A-A-AS YOUR BRIDE!
Djinn/Blanche: HUH?!

Part 11
[Walpurga Nacht Academy]
[Djinn’s Lamp]
Blanche: -and this is what I think we should do.
Agatha: EHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Rosa: DON’T LAUGH!! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS LAUGHING WHEN IT’S AT MY EXPENSE?! DIDN’T WE TALK THINGS OUT JUST NOW?
Agatha: When… ?... I… don’t… remember…
Rosa: YOU’RE SO PETTY!!
Cass: Um!!!
Vita: Now, now, let us not fall so easily into discord among ourselves~ As entertaining as it might be to watch you two chat we must focus on the situation at hand. Or would you rather spend the rest of eternity in that cold, desolate hourglass, hm?
Rosa: …
Agatha: …
Vita: There, now~ I was certain you two would conform~
Cass: Miss Dies i-i-is truly incredible! To ha-have calmed those two with ju-ju-just a few words…
Blanche: Dies-senpai is still a fourth year, after all. Not to mention her special ability…
Cass: Spe-special ability?
Blanche: … Nevermind. Then, Dies-sempai-
Vita: Hm~?
Blanche: You agree that my plan gives us the highest chance of survival given the odds?
Vita: Hm~ No, I believe it is bound to fail~
Blanche: !!!
Vita: But it would be certainly entertaining to see you all attempt it~
Blanche: …
Vita: My~ Just what for is that hateful expression in your eyes for, my dear? Are you perhaps under the impression that one as woefully unprepared in the art of concession as you are should understand the intricacies of love? Fufufu, now this is a most unexpected development for you~
Blanche: …
Cass: Mi-Mi-Miss Dies, perhaps it is not fo-fo-for the best to say such things no-no-now, and, um, ma-may-
Blanche: It is alright, Cassandra. I was already prepared for this response.
Cass: Um…
Blanche: Dies-sempai has always marched forward as she saw fit. What would she care about the opinions of those with no importance to her? Isn’t that so?
Vita: My, one might think you are indeed better suited for the ranks of Oraluna, rather than your dorm with this sort of mind-reading techniques, my dear~
Blanche: !
Rosa: He-Hey, you’re going too far now, you know… Blanche is-
Blanche: Rosalia.
Rosa: YE-YES?
Blanche: Do you have any objections to the plan?
Rosa: Um, n-no? I think it’s a-a good plan! Even though I’m the one used as bait…
Blanche: …
Rosa: WHICH I DON’T MIND IN THE LEAST! I’M SURE THAT YOU’VE FIGURED IT ALL OUT, BLANCHE! Ugh, I’m really no good with awkward atmospheres like this… Aaaaah, please stop looking at me like that!
Blanche: … Good. Then-
Cass: U-Um!
Blanche: Cassandra? Is something wrong?
Cass: I-I will do my best to he-help too!
Blanche: I see. Thank you… but that won’t be necessary.
Cass: Huh?
Blanche: My plan requires only for me and Rosalia to perform well, and thus a third party interference will be useless.
Cass: U-Um, bu-but…
Blanche: Besides, Himalia-sempai will be furious if I put you in harm’s way. Unlike her, Marcia or Diana you have no outstanding physical capacities or even extraordinarily strong magic. Isn’t that so?
Cass: …
Blanche: I appreciate your intentions, Cassandra, however, it will not be necessary to involve you.
Rosalia.
Rosa: YES?
Blanche: Please stand by and pay attention. You must focus on the conversation that will soon take place. Do you understand?
Rosa: Of course! As long as I can imagine it, then everything should go well!
Blanche: Very well. Then- Djinn.
Djinn: Ugh… I’m gonna be hearing that sound even in my nightmares… Hm? Ah, it’s you, bunny. What do you want now?
Blanche: I would like to request your help with something.
Djinn: My help?
Blanche: Yes. It is obvious that you seek a… specific sort of person to be your bride, and from our previous encounters you have some traits that you must desire. That is why you turned down Marcia, Himalia-sempai and Arrow-sempai, isn’t that right?
Djinn: Hm~? Ah, that’s true. You’ve certainly got a point there.
Blanche: Yes. I believe it is pointless for us to go chasing after wild geese like this any longer. We’re simply wasting time. Thus, I would like to propose a solution: tell us the traits that your perfect bride must have and we will bring her before you.
Djinn: …
Cass: U-Um, he suddenly looks very solemn…
Agatha: Ehehehehehe… I… bet… the… plan… will… fail… ehehehehehe…
Vita: Fufu~
Blanche: …
Djinn: You…
Blanche: ?!
Djinn: If I got this right… You’re telling me that you’ll bring my perfect wife before me? If I just tell you who? Is that correct?
Blanche: Ye-Yes… That is what I am saying.
Djinn: And you’re promising this? You’re not just trying to fool me?
Blanche: O-Of course not. As witches we always make sure to keep our word.
Djinn: …
Rosa: Ugh, I’m getting too nervous. Just accept it already!!
Djinn: You…
Blanche: ?
Djinn: YOU WITCHES ARE AMAZING!!
Blanche: ?!
Rosa: HUH?!
Vita: My~
Djinn: Man, to think that you could do this all along?! You guys are really stronger than you look! I thought you were just some puny mortals, but I guess I was wrong? HAHAHAHAHA!
Rosa: HE’S GETTING ANNOYING AGAIN! WHAT’S WITH THOSE POTSHOTS, HUH?!
Cass: At least the pla-plan is wo-working...
Djinn: Seriously! You should have just said that from the beginning! What was all that ruckus for if we could have just settled this like normal?
Alright, we’ll do away with all this panel show business-
Rosa: SO EASY!
Djinn: -and get right into the meaty part!
Blanche: I-I see. Thank you for your cooperation. Ahem, in this case-
Could you please explain just what traits you are looking for in your perfect future wife?
Djinn: GLAD YOU ASK! You see, I’ve always been a romantic at heart~ My parents kept saying that my ideas of love and romance are unachievable- BUT I NEVER LOST HOPE! AND NOW MY FAITH IS FINALLY REWARDED!
Blanche: …
Agatha: He’s… really… getting… more… and… more… annoying… by… the… second…
Djinn: OK! SO LISTEN UP! When talking about future brides there are simply three qualities that matter: HEIGHT, MEASUREMENTS AND VOICE!
Rosa: Oh, I- HUUUUUUUUUUUUH?! THAT’S IT?! THAT’S IT?! IT’S ALL SO SHALLOW, HUH?!
Djinn: What are you talking about, fluffy hair? Those things are a must-have for any relationship to work out! I can’t be with anyone who doesn’t meet all my qualifications! I’m simply not that type of Djinn!
Rosa: THERE HE GOES AGAIN WITH THAT-
Blanche: Ahem. I understand. Then, would you be so kind as to tell us what your ideal height, voice and… measurements are?
Rosa: Yo-You’re really playing along with this, aren’t you?
Cass: It’s o-our only chance of e-e-escape after all, um…
Rosa: That’s true, ugh.
Djinn: GLAD YOU ASK, BUNNY GIRL! You see, my requirements are not only perfectly and understandable, but they are the culmination of feminine beauty.
Blanche: …
Djinn: I’m something of a connoisseur of female beauty~ A woman’s charms never escape my eye! Thus, I believe I am the most qualified to answer what the perfect traits are!
FIRST! MY BRIDE MUST BE 165 CMS TALL! That is the ideal height for a woman, no taller or smaller!
Blanche: I see.
Cass: Oh! That’s Mi-Mi-Miss Morgainne’s height, i-i-isn’t it?
Rosa: Alright, we have scored one in!
Agatha: Don’t… get… too… cocky… you… dumb… amoeba…
Rosa: HEY!
Blanche: You two - stop it. Rosalia! Pay attention now.
Rosa: YES, MA’AM!
Djinn: Hm, you all got so animated all of a sudden…
Blanche: Never mind that. Please continue with your list.
Djinn: If you say so- THEN MEASUREMENTS! I am a perfectly reasonable man so my ideal bride should be 100-60-100 AND NO LESS OR MORE!
Rosa: GUH! NOW HE’S SERIOUSLY JUST ANNOYING ME! THIS BASTARD!
Agatha: Dumb… jealous.. amoeba… ehehehehehe
Rosa: ARE YOU REALLY ONE TO TALK?!
Agatha: At… least… unlike… you… I… have… my… eyes… open… Right… Big… Sis… ?
Vita: My~ He certainly seems to have quite high standards~ And a discernible eye~
Rosa: … Ughhhhhh, curse you!! I bet you drank a lot of milk when you were young, didn’t you?! Vita-senpai?!
Vita: Not particularly, no~
Rosa: AAAH, THE FICKLENESS OF GENETICS IS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Miss Morgainne!
Blanche: … And last?
Djinn: LAST! Well, hm, to tell you the truth I just want a girl with a nice voice that could soothe me to sleep really easily~ Like an angel had descended from above and suddenly started serenading me. IT’S THAT SORT OF DREAM!
Blanche: … Soft…
Rosa: Huh?! Wh- What are you looking so worried about?!
Agatha: The… dumb… amoeba’s… voice… is… loud… and… annoying… like… a… siren…
Rosa: HEY!!
Agatha: Just… like… I… was… saying…
Vita: Now, now~
Rosa: GRRRRRR- Well, you’ll just have to eat your words once you see my performance! Hmph!
Cass: Um, wi-will it re-really not be an issue, then?
Rosa: HONESTLY, I”M KIND OF MAD TO HEAR YOU AGREE WITH THEM CASSANDRA, BUT- No worries~ I might not be able to capture one’s voice with my magic, but that’s where my acting background comes into play~
[So, what do you think about this?]
Cass: A-Amazing! You sound ju-ju-just like me, Miss Mo-Mo-Morgainne!
Rosa: [Hehe, right~ I’m such a genius, aren’t I?]
Agatha: Ugh… so… annoying…
Rosa: GRRRRRRR-
Djinn: Hey. hey~ You in the back, aren’t you getting a little too animated?!
Rosa: So-Sorry…
Agatha: Ehehehehehe…
Djinn: Haaaa, well, whatever… It’s not like it matters now. NO! WHAT REALLY MATTERS-
BUNNY GIRL! I THINK IT’S TIME! I’VE FULFILLED MY PART OF THE BARGAIN AND NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! COME NOW, BRING MY BELOVED FUTURE BRIDE BEFORE ME!
Blanche: … Very well. A deal is a deal, and we witches pride ourselves on keeping our promises. Then, Rosalia-
Rosa: Gotcha! It’s time for me to shine and get everybody out of here! Held on tight, it’s only gonna take a moment!

Djinn’s Bride! ~A Celebration of Love~
Part 6
[Walpurga Nacht Academy]
[Djinn’s Lamp]
Rosa/Marcia: THIS IS THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORST-
Rosa: OUCH!
Marcia: OOF!
Cass: EEK!
June: SHIT!
Blanche: UGH!
Diana: …
Vita: My~ That was quite a fall, was it not, my dear Agatha?
Agatha: Hehehehe… It… was… scary… but… Big… Sis… always… lands… on… her… feet…
Vita: Certainly~ It would not do otherwise~
Blanche: Di-Dies-senpai?
Vita: Hm~ What it be little hare?
Blanche: Could you and Agatha please get off. We’re all squished undern-
June: HEY, SHITHEAD, GET OFF!
Rosa: OUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCH- THIS HURTS! YOU’RE ALL TOO HEAVY!
Diana: …
Marcia: Aaaah, this is where we meet our end… Goodbye my wonderful future full of riches…
Rosa: THAT’S WAY TOO DEPRESSING! MARCIA STOP SAYING THAT!
June: SHUT YET TRAPS!
Blanche: Ugh!
Vita: My, my, what strength~
Agatha: … Ugh… stupid… big… chowder… sat… up… all… of… a … sudden… and… we… all… feel… off… No… grace…
June: HAAA? YA WANT YER HEAD OFF OR SOMETHING?!
Cass: Uuuummmm…
June: Ya ok ‘here, Cass?
Cass: E-Eh? Ye-Yes! Though for a mo-moment the wind was knocked o-out of me…
Rosa: I thought for sure we were going to die…
Marcia: Haaaa, that would have been better…
Rosa: It really wouldn’t have!! Maybe you’re fine with dying young, but I’m not!! I still have a ton of stuff to do, you know?! Dying like this would be way too inconvenient!
Marcia: Haaaaa…
Rosa: Grrrr! What’s with this attitude anyways?! After making so much trouble for the rest of us by getting that djinn out of the lamp, you decide to stick your head in the sand too?!
June: Tsk. That’s ‘hat happens when yer so fuckin’ greedy.
Marcia: Hm? Why are you looking at me when you’re saying that? I really don’t get it.
Rosa: Weren’t you the one who brought the lamp to the meeting?! Why do you think we’re blaming you?!
Marcia: Now wait just a sec! Yeah, I’m the one who brought the lamp in, but it was senpai who released the djinn inside! If anyone’s to blame, it’s her!
Blanche: That’s a foregone conclusion.
Marcia: Eh? Wh-What’s that supposed to mean?
June: Ya should have expected the shitty ghoul to pull shit like ‘his.
Rosa: That’s right! That’s right! Dies-senpai is a heartless person who only likes to amuse herself by making others miserable! You should have known beforehand she’d take advantage of the situation to make a mess like this! Seriously, Marcia! What were you thinking?!
June: Yeah, ya fuckin’ moron.
Marcia: HAAAAAAAAAAA?! You’re blaming me?! You’re seriously blaming me?! After all that was said?! Your heads seriously are screwed on wrong!
Rosa: Grrr!
June: YA WANNA PICK A FIGHT?!
Marcia: I’LL PICK ONE ALRIGHT! I’m not gonna stand here and let you dump on me like that when there’s only one person at fault!
Vita: Hm~?
Agatha: Don’t… point… your… stupid… finger… at… Big… Sis…
Marcia: Shut it! I’m serious right now! Even if you bite it off I won’t care, you brat!
Agatha: GRRRRRRRRRRR.
Marcia: Senpai!!
Vita: My~ Your furious face certainly adds a certain allure to your visage~ It sends shivers down my spine~
Marcia: Yo-You’re not gonna distract me with your weirdness now! I’m too worked up to think through what you’ve just said! Senpai!! Please explain yourself!
Vita: Oh? Explain myself? Whatever could you mean?
Marcia: You know perfectly well what I’m talking about!! Why did you let the djinn out?!
Vita: Ah. That.
Marcia: Yes! That! You knew there was a magical presence in the lamp and you set him loose on all of us! Please explain your reasoning behind that!
Vita: Hm~? ‘Tis not obvious?
Marcia: Not at all!! I can’t wrap my head around your thinking process at all! It’s like trying to navigate a maze with no exit!
Vita: My~ The compliments are pouring out of your mouth today, are they not?
Marcia: Senpai!!
Vita: Fufu~ But very well. Sweet nothings should be rewarded after all. ‘Tis always been my policy. If an answer you seek, then cease your wandering, my dear~
Marcia: … Wh-What’s that supposed to mean? I don’t get it at all!
Diana: Curiosity is man’s downfall.
Marcia: Eh? Curiosity? Downfall?! What are you talking about now, Diana?!
Blanche: … I’m afraid I understand what she’s talking about.
Rosa: You do?! Just from that?! You’re amazing, Blanche!
Blanche: … Th-That’s… Ahem. I advise you to restrain your enthusiasm, Rosalia. I’m doubtful you’ll be happy with what I’m about to say…
Rosa: I-Is it that scary?!
Blanche: Scary… Perhaps we could look at it that way too… But more importantly, I would say the right word for it is-
Vita: Gratitude~
Blanche: …
Rosa: Gra-Gratitude? For what exactly…
Agatha: The… stupid… amoeba’s… brain… is… so… small… eheheheheheheheh…
Rosa: GRRR!
Vita: Now, now, my darling Agatha~ We must always show patience, remember? ‘Tis not her fault for her deficiency~
Rosa: … I didn’t get that but it was an insult, wasn’t it?! I can tell, you know!
Vita: How perspicacious of you, little rose~
Rosa: Another one! That was another one, wasn’t it?! Is this really the time for that though?! Don’t we have bigger problems?!
Marcia: Give it up, Rosalia.
Rosa: Eh? Marcia?
Marcia: There’s no way you’re going to get through to senpai. Her mind is too warped. Like this issue of gratitude… I think I’ve got a grasp on it…
Vita: Hm~?
Marcia: That gratitude you’re speaking about… is it that you wanted to thank me for bringing such a fun ‘toy’ for you to play around with?
Vita: Correct~
Marcia: AAAAAAAAAH! I WAS AFRAID YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT! JUST DOING EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN PACE WITHOUT CARING ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE. THAT’S RIGHT! THAT’S RIGHT! THAT’S THE WAY OF THE MAD FREE PEOPLE, ISN’T IT?!
Rosa: Ma-Marcia! Calm down! You’re having a breakdown!
Marcia: Right.
Rosa: .... Eh? Th-That was a quick turnaround…
Marcia: After some meditation-
Rosa: Meditation?! What meditation?!
Marcia: I’ve come to a conclusion. SENPAI!
Vita: Hm?
Marcia: I’m returning the lamp to you~
Vita: No need, my dear. Consider it part of your dowry~
Marcia: Eh~? No way~ I couldn’t possibly steal this magnificent item from its rightful owner~
Vita: My~
Marcia: And since you’re the rightful owner~ Because you are~ You should stay here and marry this guy instead~
Vita: Oh~? I simply could not~
Marcia: Are you thinking about my feelings~? How kind~! But you really shouldn’t~ I’m giving you my full support~ So don’t hold back~ Don’t hold back at all~
Rosa: … She’s really trying to skirt her duties.
Marcia: I heard that!!
Rosa: !!!
Marcia: If you think I’m taking the fall for senpai’s blunder, then you’re dreaming!! I’m washing my hands clean of this whole thing!! Ya hear me?!
Rosa: … Just a second before you begged her to give you the lamp.
Marcia: That was when I thought I could make a quick madol with little to no consequences!! Things are different now!! The consequences have come back to bite me in the ass!!
Blanche: She’s so frustrated everything is spilling out.
Diana: Mm.
Marcia: So, senpai!!
Vita: Hm~?
Marcia: Step up and do the right thing!! Take this creepy guy and marry him so we can go back!!
Vita: I refuse~ I despise men with such bland features~
Marcia: WHO CARES ABOUT THAT?! You think I want to marry a guy with such a lame sense of humour?!
Vita: Hm, that would be rather unfortunate~ But his overly excitable attitude is simply revolting. I will concede to you.
Marcia: I DON’T WANT HIM! HE’S REALLY OFF-PUTTING! YOU TAKE THE CREEP!
Vita: No~
Rosa: They’re really annoyingly stubborn!! Seriously, I know that marrying such a weirdo is not the best outcome, but aren’t they going too far? Don’t you think so, Blanche?
Blanche: … Rosalia.
Rosa: Eh? Blanche! But- Huh?! Wait! If you’re on my right, then who’s the one-
Djinn: …
Rosa: AAAAH! SO YOU’VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG?!
Djinn: ...
Marcia: YOU TAKE HIM! I’D RATHER DIE THAN MARRY HIM!
Vita: ‘Tis a mutual feeling~
Djinn: …
Rosa: YOU MONSTERS! STOP TALKING! THIS SORT OF ABUSE WILL BREAK ANYBODY’S SPIRIT! JUST BECAUSE HE’S UGLY AND LAME DOESN’T MEAN THAT HE SHOULD BE FORCED TO ENDURE THIS!
June: … Yer one to talk.
Djinn: ...ugh..
Rosa: Eh? What was that?
Djinn: ...ough…
Blanche: ?
Djinn: ENOUGH!!
Blanche: !!!
Rosa: MY EARS!!
June: NOT ‘HIS SHIT AG’IN!
Djinn: ‘Monster’ is too light a word for you people!! Even ogres have more compassion! You devils! Don’t you know a young man’s heart is really fragile?!
Rosa: I-It kinda hurts how right he is...
Djinn: That’s it. I’ve decided.
Rosa: Eh? You decided?! What did you decide?!
Djinn: I really wanted a cute wife to come live with me and cheer me up when I am down and share my joys and sorrows! But you girls are much too troublesome and unpleasant!
Rosa: Eeeh?! But I didn’t even do anything?!
Blanche: That’s obviously a lie.
Djinn: So you’re all evicted from here-
Marcia: YAHOO!
Djinn: -except for my master!
Marcia: …
Vita: Fufu~
Marcia: DON’T YOU DARE LAUGH! And you!!
Djinn: Ah, don’t shout like that. I have delicate hearing, you know?
Marcia: Like I care!! More importantly, didn’t you just say you couldn’t stand any of us earlier?! What’s with this sudden switch, huh?!
Djinn: … Well.
Marcia: WELL WHAT?
Djinn: I guess spending eternity with you is still better than being alone.
Marcia: …
Diana: … He must dislike loneliness.
Rosa: Haaaa?! Aren’t you too casual about this?! The way he just spoke was super insulting, actually!!
Blanche: Indeed. But that aside…
Agatha: It… still… means… one… will… have… to… stay… behind… We… should… make… the… stupid… amoeba… do… that… hehehehehehehe…
Rosa: NOOOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! DON’T LEAVE ME BEHIND! I DON’T WANNA! IT’S MARCIA’S FAULT SO SHE SHOULD STAY!
Marcia: IF ANYONE SHOULD STAY IT’S DIES-SENPAI!
Vita: Fufu, are we to cast votes? Then I believe that the world ought to be spared of violent brutes with barely a sliver of intelligence~
June: …
Cass: Mi-Mi-Miss Himalia?
June: … I... ‘nough…
