Prologue — Episode 1Location: Thumb Southern Base - Meeting Room???(???)Tell me, who do you think will be the one to get through all this mist and claim the collapsed Nest in the end?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_kalo1-01"???(???)It’s hard for me to predict the outcome of this event, underboss. It has been a while since we were involved in a bloodshed of this scale.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_katriel1_a-01"???(???)However, it is certain that we should not allow the Index to take over the yolk. Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_katriel2_b"???(???)Well said. The Middle, the Ring, and the Pinky seem to be too occupied with their own business to take part in this strife, so that’s a relief.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_kalo2"???(???)Have you heard of ‘The Library’, a recently appointed Urban Legend?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_katriel3-01"???(???)Perhaps it will be closely related to this Nest we’re so concerned with.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_katriel4-01"???(???)Go on.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_kalo3-01"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)Looks like we’re about to ride a real big wave!Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland1"Angela(Library Director)What wave?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela1"Roland(Servant)At this rate, the Library will soon be exalted to being an Urban Legend from its status as an Urban Myth.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland2"Roland(Servant)The City is brimming with cheap Urban Myths. It’s really hard to tell which are real and which are all made up.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland3"Roland(Servant)What’s more, a lot of those Urban Myths turn out to be pretty plain and boring when you get down to the root of it all.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland4"Roland(Servant)The real fun begins when an Urban Myth gets recognized as an Urban Legend.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland5"Angela(Library Director)You’re being too roundabout.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela2"Angela(Library Director)If the Associations designate us with a higher grade, we can expect to attract guests of higher classes with more valuable information, is that what you’re trying to say?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela3"Roland(Servant)You got it! Urban Legends get talked about; people will begin to acknowledge us as an actual phenomenon in the City that’s worth their attention.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland6"Roland(Servant)You see, when I was a kid, my grandma used to tell me tales about all sorts of Urban Legends. They would always send a chill down my spine.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland7"Roland(Servant)Ah, bugger. Didn’t want to be reminded of the old days.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland8"Angela(Library Director)Family…?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela4"Roland(Servant)Yeah, a family. I lost them all, though.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland9"Angela(Library Director)So you’re without a family now?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela5"Roland(Servant)No one’s with me anymore. I was raised by my grandma.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland10"Roland(Servant)Dunno how my parents passed away, n’ grandma disappeared without notice one day.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland11"Roland(Servant)And then… Nevermind. It’s nothing special.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland12"Angela(Library Director)What were you even trying to say?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela6"Roland(Servant)Anyways, you said your goal is to get this one book that’ll give you freedom, right?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland13"Angela(Library Director)That’s right. I want the freedom to leave this place, and the freedom to live as myself.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela7"Angela(Library Director)And the freedom to forget…Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela8"Roland(Servant)Then, is freedom the only reason you’re trying to gather all these books?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland14"Angela(Library Director)You’re only half right.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela9"Angela(Library Director)During my time living underground, I could only pick up fragmented information about the outside world.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela10"Angela(Library Director)I’ve seen and heard the same stories over and over and over again.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela11"Angela(Library Director)I want to hear new stories now. I want to see new faces. Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela12"Angela(Library Director)That’s also why I’m looking for the book that contains everything about the world.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela13"Angela(Library Director)And a little bit of revenge at the same time.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela14"Roland(Servant)…Revenge, huh. For what?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland15"Angela(Library Director)I’m taking revenge on the abominable person and world that made me into what I am.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela15"Angela(Library Director)Only after I’ve completely and thoroughly destroyed everything he dreamed for, will my freedom finally be whole.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela16"Roland(Servant)…So you’ll eventually get to the freedom and vengeance you want if we keep following where this red invitation leads us to?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland16"Angela(Library Director)It will guide me to the book that will let me achieve such things, to be exact.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela17"Angela(Library Director)How exactly those wishes will come true is beyond me.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela18"Angela(Library Director)The one book that will complete me and the Library…Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela19"Angela(Library Director)If I can find that one absolute book containing everything I want to know, all will be resolved.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela20"Roland(Servant)Wait, hold on. That’s your whole plan? Just find the book? You don’t exactly know how to earn that freedom and stuff?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland17"Angela(Library Director)The only thing I know for sure is that I myself will become whole at the end of the journey led by the invitation.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela21"Angela(Library Director)The Library has infinite space. I could extract infinite books from countless guests and store them all if I wanted to.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela22"Angela(Library Director)But simply collecting books that are mostly filled with junk without a clear purpose in mind is rather inefficient, don’t you think?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela23"Angela(Library Director)Hence the invitation’s guidance along the path that leads to the book I wish to obtain, as I explained before.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela24"Roland(Servant)Let’s say that you got the one book somehow.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland18"Roland(Servant)But you don’t even know what it’ll exactly do to you to make you “whole”?Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland19"Angela(Library Director)I don’t care what happens to me. I’ll be satisfied with anything as long as I can get the results.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_angela25"Roland(Servant)It’s almost scary how tenacious you are.Audio: "ch3_Prol_ep1_roland20"
