MalkuthEpisode 2 Location: The Library - Floor of History Roland (Servant) So? Have the books helped? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland1" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Yep! I’m sorting them all somehow. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth1" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) It seems to be working thankfully! Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth2" Roland (Servant) Phew, that’s good to hear. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland2" Roland (Servant) By the way, I think I remember Angela saying something along the lines of you “earning a fleshy body” the last time we met. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland3" Roland (Servant) Were you, like, not human before? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland4" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) …It was like a replacement body. A change that couldn’t ever be reverted. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth3" Roland (Servant) So you had a brain transplant surgery, but somehow managed to go back to your old human body here? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland5" Roland (Servant) That’s actually pretty impressive. Thanks to the Library’s powers, I’m guessing? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland6" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Yeah, I think so. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth4" Roland (Servant) You can’t let yourself be held back by common sense in the Library, huh. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland7" Roland (Servant) I take it that you don’t really like having your body back? You didn’t seem too happy back then. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland8" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Oh no, I actually do like it! It’s just that this isn’t exactly how I wanted things to go down. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth5" Roland (Servant) What did you do in the past, then? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland9" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) …Yeah, I wonder. What was I in the past, really? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth6" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) You wouldn’t believe it, but… This is actually my third try at life. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth7" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) This Library and its librarians have a lot of history behind them. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth8" Roland (Servant) Third try? Can you come back from the grave or something? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland10" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) It’s the accumulated memories from my two previous bodies that were carried over, to be precise. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth9" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) My past selves… I never really thought about it this way before. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth10" Roland (Servant) A difficult problem you’re facing there. How about your present self? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland11" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) …I’m an irresponsible person who let down everyone’s efforts. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth11" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) And an idiot who tried to reach for something out of my means and ended up causing trouble, I suppose… Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth12" Roland (Servant) Whoa, whoa, hold your horses! Let’s not get too dark here. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland12" Roland (Servant) Let’s just calm down for a moment. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland13" Roland (Servant) Take a deep breath~ Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland14" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Huuf~ Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth13" Roland (Servant) And let it out~ Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland15" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Pah~ Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth14" Roland (Servant) Iiiin~ Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland16" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Huuuuf~~ Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth15" Roland (Servant) And out~! Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland17" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Pah~! Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth16" Roland (Servant) Relaxed now? Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland18" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) Yeah, it really helped! Thanks, Roland. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth17-02" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) I should know better than anyone that it’s pointless to get upset over things I can’t do anything about… Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth18" Malkuth (Patron Librarian - History) I gotta start with the things I can take care of first! Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_malkuth19" Roland (Servant) Alright. I’ll try hard with my work, too. Let’s take our time with the problem of past selves. Audio: "ch8_Malkuth_ep2_roland19"
