Tiphereth — Episode 1Location: The Library – Floor of Natural SciencesRoland(Servant)Floor of Natural Sciences, huh. That’s the fifth floor we’re opening.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland1"Roland(Servant)Its Patron Librarian is Tiphereth… What’s up with all these weird names?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland2"Roland(Servant)Hello! Tiphereth~! Are you there~!!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland3"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Shut it!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth1"Roland(Servant)Hrk…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland4"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m standing right in front of you. Where do you think you’re looking?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth2"Roland(Servant)What, you’re totally a kid?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland5"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m actually a lot taller than I used to be, you know?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth3-01"Roland(Servant)Oh, compared to your past self in Lobotomy Corp?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland6"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)No, I mean compared to my first life. I was an actual kid back then, but it looks like I woke up with an older body this time.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth4"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m not sure if it was the Library’s powers or Angela’s thoughtfulness, but this body should be better suited for librarian work, so I’m cool with it either way.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth5"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Although, if it actually took all the years I’ve lived into account, I’d have to look a bit older.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth6"Roland(Servant)Putting that aside, isn’t it a little rude to punch someone you just met in the face?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland7"Roland(Servant)This is giving me flashbacks.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland8"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Well, it’s because you were being such a clumsy dork!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth7"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)What’s your name, anyways?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth8-01"Roland(Servant)Roland. Previously: A Fixer scraping at the bottom of the barrel. Current Status: Helping Angela.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland9"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I suppose you’ve already met the ones of the Upper Layer.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth9"Roland(Servant)Upper Layer? I thought I was going up, not down?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland10"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)…Right, it would be the lower floors this time around. Still, you get what I mean, so just roll with it!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth10-01"Roland(Servant)Sheesh, aren’t you the sassy one.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland11"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m Tiphereth, in charge of the Floor of Natural Sciences.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth11"Roland(Servant)I thought doing science required actual thinking, though?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland12"Roland(Servant)Oh no you don’t, you silly little thing.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland13"Roland(Servant)You’re pretty brisk with throwing punches, but it’s not quite as quick as someone I used to know, eh?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland14"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Grrrrrrr!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth12"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Stop looking down on me, will you? I heard a lot of stuff about science in my past workplace, you know?!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth13-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m probably a lot older than you in actual age, too!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth14-01"Roland(Servant)What’s the point of being older if that doesn’t reflect your words and actions, little miss~?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland15"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Hmph! How’s Angela doing, anyway?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth15"Roland(Servant)Curious as always. She almost feels like a child sometimes.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland16"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)That’s understandable, I suppose… Angela lived her whole life in a basement after all.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth16"Roland(Servant)Yeah. Said she never even got to see outside.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland17"Roland(Servant)I’m guessing you aren’t holding some deep-rooted grudge against her like the other librarians are?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland18"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I roughly know what she went through. I thought she was just cruel, but…Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth17-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I could see some events of the past while I was asleep.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth18"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I could also see things happening in the present, all the way down to the moment you woke me up.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth19"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)So I can understand Angela somewhat.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth20-01"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m pretty sure the librarians who are still asleep all have a grasp on what’s going on as well.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth21"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Though the idiots on the Upper Layer… I mean, the lower floors still seem kinda confused.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth22"Roland(Servant)So, you agree with Angela’s choice?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland19"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)It depends on the one final choice she’ll make at the end of this.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth23"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I’m willing to help her out for now, at least. Our primary goal is the same, all things considered.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth24"Roland(Servant)To complete the Library?Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland20"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Yep. The light is only truly meaningful if it shines for seven days straight.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth25"Roland(Servant)Boy, is it refreshing to meet an amicable librarian for once!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland21"Roland(Servant)Alright, I’ll make sure to bring some picture books next time as a bonus.Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_roland22"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Urrrrgh…!Audio: "ch8_Tiphereth_ep1_tiphereth26"
