All Seven Housewardens, minus Malleus, which Lilia came to full in, gathered for the meeting in the Mirror Chamber.

"All Housewardens are present, then?" Crowley asked, looking around.

"Malleus isn't here yet" Vil informed, having a look of indifference.

"Sorry about that" Lilia sighed, having a frown on his face. "I knew where he was up until lunch break...But once school let out, poof-he was gone"

"Ara ara...where has he gone too?" Y/n said, resting her hand on his palm.

"He pulls this every time" Idia frowned from behind the screen. "It has to be on purpose, right?"

"I wouldn't say that, Idia-senpai" Y/n said, turning to the tablet. "Time just flows a little...differently for us fae"

"And it might add, he's got quite a streak of bad luck when it comes to these things" Lilia chuckled.

"Aha ha, I know just what you mean!" Kalim beamed. "Jamil gets onto me all the time for forgetting to attend meetings"

"Khee hee hee...As his vice housewarden, I'll be representing Malleus today, with your leave"

"Hmph" Leona let out a scoff, not caring at all about Malleus. "Who cares if that pretentious punk it here?" he grumbled, pulling Y/n onto his lap when he had the chance, causing her soulmates to glare at the lion, minus Jamil since he ain't here and Lilia isn't her soulmate at all.

Y/n sweatdropped a bit. "Can we just get this meeting started please?"

Vil had just crossing his arms while he hides his frown from Y/n. He has been bothered by the post of Neige's selfie with Y/n, making him extremely jealous...but not as jealous as Azul when under the influence of Invidia.

"AHEM" Crowley cleared his throat, having everyone turn their attention back on him. "I now call this assembly to order. We've spent quite awhile preparing for the National Arcane Academy Culture Fair. It takes place in less than two months. Management Committee Chairman Rosehearts, your progress report, if you please"

"Yes, sir" Riddle nods. "If everyone could refer to the papers I handed out at the start?" he asked with his usual strict expression. Everyone looked down at the paper packet that had information about what Riddle will explain. "Applications are still open for student admission and presentations from magical academies nationwide. Vender booths for food, drinks, and crafts are limited in number and all fully booked" he explained.

"Hm? The food and drinks part I get, but what's this about crafts?"

"That covers art cluproducts: clothes, pottery, engravings, paintings, and so on" Riddle explained to Kalim. "They'll be selling some and exhibiting others. We also had applications for live panting and independent films"

"Ooh, that all sounds delightful!" Kalim's mood brighten.

"Indeed. This sure will exciting" Y/n grinned.

Riddle smiled at Y/n before turning his attention back to his papers. "Moving on, regarding the venues for speech contests and research presentations...We plan to install three stages on campus for this event. The red stage will be on the sports field. The blue stage will be in the gym. And the purple stage will be in our largest spot, the coliseum. We are still accepting press coverage applications for all presentations, both from domestic and foreign sources, but...Mm"

"Hm? Strawyberry?" Y/n perked an eyebrow.

"What is it, Riddle? You look pensive" Kalim asked.

"There's a musical presentation on the purple stage called the Song & Dance Championship" Riddle informed. "We've been flooded with applications from external media outlets to cover this program. To what I would call an excessive degree, especially after my rose sent hers" he explained.

"Fufufu, I can imagine, yes" Y/n chuckled.

"Song & Dance Championship, or SDC for short...is a global-level competition between the most talented singers at schools in every part of the country" Azul said, summarizing it.

"Considering that it's categorize as musical presentation, I was envisioning something more along the lines of a simple choral contest" Riddle admitted.

"That's all the SDC actually as, way back when the culture fair first started" Y/n informed. "But as time pass, it came to encompass greater and greater varieties of musical expression. Now dances and other such productions fall within its purview. It's been changing steadily over time. Nowadays, it's a music festival widely regarded as a gateway to the big leagues" she explained.

"The audience votes for the finalists in real time as well" Azul noted. "This keeps the event from feelings stages. There's no small number of stars who got their start here. Indidentally, Vil and Y/n will be participating this year. Small wonder the press is swarming the event, especially to see Rebirth"

"...hmph" Vil openly scoffed.

"Intersting" Riddle curiously looked at the Pomefiore housewarden. "I never knew"

"Tsk, tsk, Riddle. Considering you're at the top of your class, I thought you'd be more-up-to-date on trending topics" Azul teased.

'Espeically since he has a asian mom' Y/n thought.

'Hmm...is that so?'

"Were you not aware that Vil is a global celebrity like Angelfish here?" Azul asked.

"Must you always couch your words in barbs?" Riddle frowned. "I'm only up-to-date with my rose..." he muttered quietly.

'so like a stalker?'

'shut up Focalors'

'hmph'

"I don't live under a rock. I know my upperclassman is in the entertainment industry" Riddle huffed.

"Indeed he is. He's a highly popular figure who does everything from modeling for fashion magazines to acting movies. Though, he isn't has popular as my angelfish.." Azul muttered. "When fashion Week kicks off, he's flooded with offers from big-name brands. He held the record for runway appearance in the last year's fall and winter seasons. Plus he's a Magicammer like angelfish with over five million followers. All this while still a student like angelfish! They say whenever he plugs a piece of merchandise, it flies off every store shelf. He's the textbook definition of an 'influencer'" Azul explained.

'I lost count by how many he called me angelfish...'

"Goodness...I didn't know he was THAT famous" Riddle exclaimed. 'Thought, Y/n has way more followers. That's just as impressive. Heh' he thought.

"Hmph. Ever the chatterbox, Azul" Vil commented. "That's basic information- hardly worth calling attention to. Would you kindly cease your embarrassing slavering?"

"Oh, speaking of influenceres- Vil's not the only one slated for SDC this year" Idia noted. "I heard the one and only Niege LeBlache is putting in an appearance too, with Y/n as his sponsor. It was all over online news sites a few days ago. It's no surprise that the media would be all over it"

"Fufu" Y/n chuckled.

"Neige LeBlanche...Ah, yes. We received a registration form for him a few days ago. He's a sophomore representing Royal Sword Academy" Riddle said.

Something inside of Vil snapped. "...." Vil was awfully silent.

"He's considered the most likeable celebrity in the world, only 2nd to beastie here" Lilia chuckled. "He's known for his disarming good looks and approachable nature. Hardly a day by when I don't see his face plastered over one screen or another. Who knew he went to Royal Sword Academy?"

"I did.." Y/n muttered, giggling to herself.

"Yeah, there you go. He's like a boy idol for normies...while Y/n is both for normies and otakus alike" Idia said. "Wait, hold up. You guys actually watch TV in Diasomnia?"

"Khee hee hee. Why, of course!" Lilia laughed as while as Y/n. "I'd simply wither and die without my dramas. I've been known to engoy a spot of gaming, too"

"H-huh...Somehow, I wasn't expecting that" Idia muttered.

"Y/n Chione, Vil Schoenheit, and Neige LeBlanche" Crowley stated. "This year's Song & Dance Championship will play host to three globally famous celebrities. It is no exaggeration to say that his will be the highest-profile year in the entire history of the event. Roseheart, do make certain that you are amply prepared to avert any incidents on the day of the show" he said.

"Y-Yes, Headmaster..." Riddle stuttered a bit. "This...is turning out to be even more of a to-do list than I was expecting" he sweatdropped.

"Even the slightest mismanagement could trigger a commotion among the throngs of fans what will be in attendance. Riddle, I would be glad to extend a special offer for assistance if you're starting to feel the pressure" Azul offered. "After all, I already have plenty of experience after handling the uproar at the interdorm Spelldrive tournament" No one in the meeting miss that look of Azul's face when he turned to Leona.

"Hey, cephalo-punk" Leona called out. "Want me to try out that slimy tongue of yours and make it into octo-jerky?"

"Jerky..." Y/n had stars in her eyes, having a sheepy smile.

"Dear me. how frightening! Don't get Y/n any naughty ideas~ Heh heh heh...." Azul chucled.

Riddle pulled Y/n off of Leona's lap, who let out a growl in response, but was ignored. "Your help won't be necessary, Azul. I have no desire to incur any special debts to you" he scoffed. "There's no telling what you'd ask for later as compensation. Focus on doing your own job well"

"What a pity. Do let me know if you ever change your mind. My spirit of benevolence has no expiration date" Azul said, hiding his radiating anger when Y/n was know in Riddl's arms.

"Same here. Feel free to reach out to me if you have trouble with anything, Riddle" Kalim offered with a smile. "I'm always happy to help. Ooh, I just can't wait for festival day!"

"Yeesh. Must be nice to see the bright side of everything all the time" Idia shuddered. "Meanwhile, I'm sitting here every day wracking my brain, trying to figure out how I can present my research without going up on stage...I just know if I go up there, everybody in the venue's gonna be like, 'uh, is his hair on fire?' 'Is he from the Shroud family?' 'What kind of creepy research is he doing, anyway?' They're gonna spread rumors like...Well, like wildfire. Uuuugh, this sucks. For an introvert like me, public speaking is, like, EX difficulty" he said.

"Idia, the rules state that the researcher must be on stage in person" Riddle said firmly. "I cannot make an exception for you"

"Oh, great, here we go with Riddle's personal skill, Rulemonger. Y'know what MY person skill is? Thinking that rule is really backwards. For one thing, who wants to listen to a geek like me mubling into a microphone?" Idia asked.

"I would. I love to listen to your voice. It sounds soothing~" Y/n smiled friendly.

"T-that there goes Y/n using her love attack" Idia stuttered. "T-text-to-speech would go way smoother and be easier for listening to parge."

"Aren't you talking perfectly fine with us right now?" Riddle asked.

"Y-you can't compare voice chatting online with people you know to giving a talk to a crowd full of strangers, okay?" Idia agrued. "There's no way I could handle Q&A after the presentation, for that matter. I'd freak"

"You have just over a month until the festival. Perhaps you could use it to practice delivering a speech loudly and clearly without stumbling?" Riddle asked. "In fact, I'd be willing to join you for practice sessions after school if you like"

"Erk!" Idia squeaked. "N-no thanks, I'm good. I'll figure something out of my own before it's go time. The last think I need is a mandatory grind on a repeatable training event with Mr. Impossible-to-please" he whispered.

"Very well" Riddle seemed to not have heard it. "I shall look forward to your fully composed research presentation, Idia. That wraps up the management comittee's report"

Crowley nods, gathering his papers together. "I'll shall announce that Y/n shall be charge of the representative and help them prepare for the SDC" he said. They talked about this eailer before the meeting started. "I'll adjourn today's housewarden meeting here. I expect all dorms to continue with their preparations for the big day"

"...."

"Vil-senpai" Y/n called to the Pomefiore housewarden before he lefted the Mirror Chamber. "Is everything alright? I've notice you staring at me with a frown ever since the meeting started"

"Nothing to worry, my Diamond" Vil ruffled her hair, having a kinder smile on her face. "Thank you you for worrying. Feel free to return to your dorm"

"Alright. If you need anything from me, feel free to ask" Y/n smiled before turning away from him.

Vanitas grinned.

Vil stayed quite, growing a little.

"Mira, mira. Tell me something" Vil asked, growing at his phone.

"What would you like me to look up?"

"Who, at this moment, is the most beautiful male of all?" he asked, simplfing his questioned because his phone will just answer 'Y/n Chione' as the most beautiful. That is why he said 'male'

"Display results for 'account with the most comments using the word beautiful': Neige LeBlanche"

"Neige....!" Vil's eyes widen in anger, clutching his phone, looking like it was going to crack. "...Then the time has come"

"I'm sorry. I didn't understand your command. Could you repeat that?"

Vil was going to make sure Y/n focused on him only. After all, she was sponsering Neige. He wasn't going to make any sort of contact with Neige if he ever interacts with her again.

Story Notes!

- Neige and Y/n made a bet with each other. It was stayed that if Neige won, then Y/n will give him a limited apple pie in Permafrost. But if Y/n won, he has to give her a limited edition Ice cream.
