## Prologue

*[Show/Hide]*

MC and Sherry are both currently on their way to a party to commemorate the anniversary of peace on the Isle of Colde. The Headmaster is holding a grand banquet and has invited everyone in the academy to come. They are both chatting while walking together towards the hall. Sherry tells MC that she can't contain her excitement. MC remarks that she can't wait either. Once they step inside the Academy Hall, they immediately run into Roy and Grayson. Grayson apologizes for interrupting their conversation and tells Sherry that she has to go around and do her greetings. Sherry says okay. Roy also apologizes to MC and asks if they could borrow Sherry for to do the greetings. MC tells them to go ahead. Roy then says that he will come find her later so that they can have a more leisurely conversation. The trio then leave to do their greetings

MC then walks towards the large table at the center of the hall which is full of hors d'oeuvres. MC notes that everything looks delicious. She then looks up and sees Dia looking at her from across the table with his plate piled high with various mushroom dishes. Dia asks her "...What?" and MC replies that it's nothing. All of a sudden, Fenn comes up from behind her and blows into her ear. This makes her exclaim in surprise and jump to the side as if retreating. Fenn greets MC and remarks that she looks enchanting today. MC thanks him. Shen then looks behind her and sees Lynt falling asleep while standing. By his side is Tino, who is telling him that he shouldn't fall asleep while standing. MC is slightly embarrassed at the 3 men's typical behavior despite this being a festive occasion.

Afterwards, she turns back around and sees that Dia is already gone. Just then, Rio appears and remarks that everything on this table looks delicious. Knight is also silently standing nearby next to Toa. Toa then asks Knight why he's not going to get some food. Rio interjects and tells them that there are a bunch of desserts as well. Toa is silent, but Knight tells Toa that he'll prepare a plate of desserts for him as well. MC stands there observing the cheerful and lively scene in front of her.

Then, she notices Sherry waving at her from the other side of the venue while shouting her name. MC guesses that Sherry has finished with her greetings. As MC starts to walk towards Sherry, she trips and loses her balance. However, she is caught by Lance who was walking past her. MC thanks him. Lance gives her a languid reply in response. She then stands up and steps away from him. Just then, Guy appears and says "Hey" before inserting himself between MC and Lance. Guy's back is facing MC as he glares at Lance. Guy proceeds to tells Lance that he's being annoying. Lance then glares back at him. MC stands there wondering why the atmosphere between them is so tense. She then hears Jasper voice telling her that the Headmaster's entertainment for tonight is about to begin. MC belatedly realizes that Jasper was behind her and was whispering in her ear.

The Headmaster then appears and says that the Grand Numeri Fortunati Tournament (the Saligian equivalent of a Bingo tournament) is about to begin. After the party guests receive, receive cards that look like Bingo cards from the reception are, they gather around the Headmaster. Sherry and MC are standing next to each other. Sherry then wonders who the will be the lucky person to receive the prize that she donated to the tournament. MC then notes that Sherry is feeling a bit restless. MC is also a bit nervous. It is then revealed that all the prizes were donated in advanced by some of the party guests and that the prizes are all magical items. The Headmaster states that some of the prizes can allow one to meet their beloved one inside their dreams or even allow people to converse across large distances. He then proceeds to call the 1st number. Lou extends his index finger upwards and a beam of light forms a number in the air. He calls a number (the number isn't specified) and MC exclaims that she has that number on her card. Lynt, who is standing nearby, remarks that he has that number as well. MC and Lynt both look at each other and smile. Sherry remarks that they are both off to a lucky start, but that she won't outdone by them. Grayson agrees and says they should try to do their best.

A bit later, MC notes that she only needs one more number to get "Bingo", but she corrects herself that it's "Numeri Fortunati" and not "Bingo". The Headmaster then announces the next number. MC is surprised. She then shouts "Numeri Fortunati!" which causes a stir in the crowd. Everyone turns to look at MC. The Headmaster remarks that it seems like fortune has smiled on someone. He then tells MC to come to him. MC is still surprised that she won the 1st round. She makes her way towards the Headmaster and sees a lot of white boxes lined up in rows. Lou tells MC to choose whatever box she wants. MC doesn't see any differences between the boxes, so she just chooses the closest box to her. When she picks up the box, Lou remarks that she made an excellent selection. He tells her to please use it. MC wonders what Lou meant by it being an excellent selection. She then starts to feel a mix of anticipation as well unease as she thinks about the unknown contents of the box. MC wonders what the mysterious magical item in the box will be. She notes that she will probably have to ask her paramour about it later. MC then imagines the face of her paramour.
