Vil is also often reminding Epel to eat a balanced diet, encouraging him to eat organic produce instead of steak and insisting that Epel actually loves macarons, not the yakiniku (EN: grilled meat/barbecue) that he will mention when Vil is not in hearing range.
Epel says that Vil is “definitely demanding, not to mention ruthless and intimidating. But he never says things on a whim.”
When Epel goes to the school store during New Year’s Cater volunteers to get Vil so that he can say hello, but Epel declines.
Epel struggles to find a souvenir for Vil during the White Rabbit Fes event, going to Deuce’s mother for ideas. He agrees with her idea of getting him a fragrance but cannot decide on which one, wanting to go back to Deuce’s mother for advice, but Silver insists that it is important for Epel to pick out Vil’s gift himself.
Epel goes to a store attendant for advice instead of Deuce’s mother, describing Vil as “terrifying,” and buying the fragrance that they recommend.
A dream version of Vil appears in Epel’s dream and compliments him on his “exquisitely sculpted” muscles, calling him “strong, fair and strapping…a true embodiment of the Fairest Queen’s tenacity” and saying he will never allow Epel to transfer to Savanaclaw. Epel is delighted by the flattery.
After waking up Epel questions how he forgot his decision from Book 5 to accept who he is and get stronger, taking offense at how the dream versions of Rook and Vil speak to him and saying that he will not be letting the darkness off easy for impersonating them.
