Zwei-2 — Episode 3 (Stage: 20003)Location: Zwei Association - Southern Branch, Section 6Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Yes, sir. I’m afraid San and Julia couldn’t make it back. …Requesting additional support.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora1"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Sigh… Isadora. What do you think the purpose of the Library is?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter1"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)From the information we’ve gathered so far, it’s the accumulation of knowledge.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora2"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Accumulation of knowledge, you say…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter2"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The Library simply offers a deal. It has no influence on the outside world; it only rewards or punishes those who have entered.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora3"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The winner can get the books they want, and the loser becomes a book that the Library wants…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora4"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Any linkage to the Distortion phenomenon?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter3"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)That… is unclear, sir.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora5"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)But my instincts suggest that it has to be related to the phenomenon somehow.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora6"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)And why is that?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter4"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The invitation to the Library, its books, and the beings called librarians that reside there. All elements of the Library are similar to what we’ve seen of the Distortion.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora7"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)A common feature is that it’s impossible to observe them for an analysis of their constituents or components.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora8"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)We cannot carry out a comparative analysis because of this, but this inability to observe itself can be considered a common trait.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora9"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)It’s not like you to make such baseless claims, is it?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter5"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Section 6 will not needlessly obsess over the Library. There is simply too much uncertainty for us to recklessly jump into the case. Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter6"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)The Zwei Association gets hundreds of requests every day. A fair number of them are allocated to us at Section 6.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter7"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)I’m sure you understand that your claims are not compelling enough to make us give up all these requests in favor of the Library.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter8"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)I am aware, sir.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora10"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)And yet here you are, requesting additional manpower for investigating the Library.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter9"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Are you sure you aren’t simply using the alleged linkage to the Distortion as an excuse to get your revenge on the Library or retrieve the books of your colleagues?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter10"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)…… Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora11"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Even as we speak, Syndicates like ‘The Carnival’ are chewing up people’s guts out in the open, and the likes of ‘The Musicians of Bremen’ are making modern art pieces out of innocent citizens.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter11"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)And there are yet more insane individuals looming over the city, no? And our duty is to protect our clients from such shade in the City, is it not?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter12"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)…You’re right, sir.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora12"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Remember the slogan of our association?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter13"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)"Your shield", sir.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora13"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Exactly. Our role is to be a trusty shield for our client.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter14"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)So don’t put down that shield without good reason, got it? You may leave now.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter15"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)…Will do.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora14"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Isadora?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter16"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Yes?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora15"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Did you happen to put this invitation in my drawer?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter17"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)No, sir. I haven’t received any new invitations yet.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora16"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)What is the current risk level of the Library…?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter18"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)It’s currently resting at the Urban Legend-class, but it has been slowly rising with every new report.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora17"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Now I see… The Book of Distortion, is it…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter19"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)They’ve been using irresistible bait like this to attract their victims, haven’t they?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter20"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)Things went rather smoothly thanks to your book. It’s not something we could get from any of the guests we’ve had so far.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_roland1"Angela(Library Director)I simply offered them what they needed the most at the moment. I am better than anyone at understanding the situation at hand and coming up with an appropriate response.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela1"Roland(Servant)Precisely, ma’am. You surely did come up with a perfect solution to lure out the Zwei.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_roland2"Roland(Servant)Heck, if you can print out books right away, wouldn’t it be nicer to just make a whole lot of ‘em ourselves?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_roland3"Angela(Library Director)I can only write books about the things I know. I need more time to write another one, too.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela2"Roland(Servant)Oh, I see… So, can I ask for your publications from time to time, then?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_roland4"Angela(Library Director)I am willing to cooperate, since you’re doing your job as my assistant. Just don’t pester me too much.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela3"Roland(Servant)Sure thing, ma’am~ A mere servant such as I wouldn’t dare commit such atrocity as bothering our mistress Angela, oh no.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_roland5"Angela(Library Director)Do you think this will work out well?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela4"Roland(Servant)The director of a section in an Association like the Zwei should be more than enough as our next step. The information he holds has got to be on a whole ‘nother level from what we’ve collected so far.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_roland6"Location: Library EntranceWalter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)It’s been quite a while since I worked in the field. You haven’t had any field work in a while too, no?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter21"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)You’re right, sir.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora18"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)If we can get this case resolved, we can finally get out of Section 6.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter22"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)It’s nice to be finally collecting information about the Distortion directly from the source instead of having to get my hands dirty engaging with those lowly Syndicates.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter23"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)Neither of us should rot in Section 6 for the rest of our lives, wouldn’t you agree?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter24"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Yes…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora19"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)We can have revenge for your colleagues, get a lead on the Distortion Phenomenon, and aim for a higher position all at the same time. How fascinating is that?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter25"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)…Everything seems to fall into place too conveniently.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora20"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guests. I am the d—Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela5"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)You must be Angela. Director and librarian of your role’s namesake, right?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter26"Angela(Library Director)Indeed, it’s just as you said.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela6"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)I’ve seen reports about you, but is it true that you are a machine, not a human?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter27"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela7"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)My my. Staying quiet won’t hide it, girl. A machine must behave as a machine.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter28"Walter(Zwei S. Section 6 Director)You’ve made quite a huge deal out of your little library. It’s rather troublesome to have a non-human like you cause a fuss this big, you know?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_walter29"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Sir, I don’t think we should provoke her any further…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_isadora21"Angela(Library Director)May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep3_angela8"
