A Crisis of a School Closure? (廃校の危機?)
This card story comes from Rutile's School Event SSR: A Snapshot of Spring! Thanks to Eri for proofing!
General Note: This story is from Mahoyaku’s school event “The Nostalgia of Youth and Fluttering Petals” so appellations are different here (e.g. “Master Sage” being referred to as “Transfer Student” etc.) and location for that event is at Vollmond Academy not at the manor. There’s no available translation for the event story at the moment.

CHAPTER 1
Akira: Oh, it’s Rutile. That thing he’s holding...is it a selfie stick? I see, he’s taking a picture of himself.
Akira: But how come he chose this place……?
Rutile: This is the music room. It’s fully furnished with soundproofing, so as to make it easier to concentrate on vocal training
and musical instrument practice.
Wahh!!
Fufu~ Were you surprised? You’re free to make any loud noises right here, just like that!
Akira: Oh, it’s Rutile. That thing he’s holding...is it a selfie stick? I see, he’s taking a picture of himself.

and musical instrument practice.
Wahh!!
Fufu~ Were you surprised? You’re free to make any loud noises right here, just like that!
Akira: (…I wonder if he’s introducing the music room to someone.)
Rutile: Ehh? Aren’t you the Transfer Student?
Akira: I apologize. I was disturbing your filming.
Rutile: No, not at all. I just finished filming.
Akira: Umm, is it alright to ask what the video you were filming is for?
Akira: Promote the school?
Rutile: I filmed the good things about this school, and ta-da~! I’ll advertise it on social media!
Akira:So that’s why you were introducing the music room. Why is Rutile filming such a video…?
Murr: It’s because the school would be closed down at this rate!
Rutile: Headmaster!
Akira: W-What a surprise…I mean, I heard you say “the school would be closed down“ just now.
That’s the reason why the number of student applicants for next year’s admissions dropped.
Rutile: After hearing the news from the Headmaster, I felt like I had to do something, and came up with a video advertising campaign.
Rutile: I thought that if people stay away due to bad impressions, it’d be best to spread as many good impressions as possible to capture their interest instead!
Akira: Certainly! That is a proactive strategy.
Rutile: Right? I’m filming all sorts of stuffーhow close-knit students are like, the lovely sights within the campusーand so much more! I want the school to have a clean image, even if only a little.
Akira: (Rutile’s doing his very best for the sake of the school...)
Rutile, may I also help with the promotion? I hope I can be of help to you, even if it’s just for a little bit.
Rutile: Ahhh, thank you so much! The Transfer Student’s participation would be a tremendous help.
Akira: !? What is that noise just now…?
Rutile: It came from the corridor, right? Let us go and check it out!

Akira: I apologize. I was disturbing your filming.
Rutile: No, not at all. I just finished filming.
Akira: Umm, is it alright to ask what the video you were filming is for?
Rutile: A-hem. This, you see, is a video meant to promote the school!
Akira: Promote the school?
Rutile: I filmed the good things about this school, and ta-da~! I’ll advertise it on social media!
Akira:So that’s why you were introducing the music room. Why is Rutile filming such a video…?
Murr: It’s because the school would be closed down at this rate!
Akira: Whoa!? Headmaster Murr!
Rutile: Headmaster!
Akira: W-What a surprise…I mean, I heard you say “the school would be closed down“ just now.
Murr: Yup. Didn’t we merge with Delinquent High?* Because of that, it looks like rumors about the school being extremely terrifying have been on the rise.
That’s the reason why the number of student applicants for next year’s admissions dropped.
Akira: Eh? Ehhh…?
Rutile: After hearing the news from the Headmaster, I felt like I had to do something, and came up with a video advertising campaign.

Rutile: Right? I’m filming all sorts of stuffーhow close-knit students are like, the lovely sights within the campusーand so much more! I want the school to have a clean image, even if only a little.
However, the number of applicants hardly increased.
