Shi Association — Episode 1 (Stage: 40001)Location: Shi Association - Southern Branch, Section 2Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Director! How could this even be considered tolerable?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin1"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)Suppress your feelings. And remind yourself; money, fame, and power rule over this world.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin1"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)He may be a Color, but that does not excuse the severity of a Fixer who doesn’t even belong to our Association setting us all up.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin2"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)He’s doing it so blatantly, too…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin3"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)…So what? Are you gonna betray the Association, kill Branch Manager Thelma, and then kill the Blue Reverberation for our freedom?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma1"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)…I don’t see a way out of this… I heard even the Smiling Faces are involved…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma2"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)This is rotten to the core…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin4"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Director, what has become of the core values of the Shi? The very identity of our association…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin5"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)If you want to overthrow the system, have patience.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin2"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)And sharpen your strength. There is nothing we can do in our current state.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin3"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)The director is right. We… can’t do anything about it right now…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma3"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Dammit… He’s leaving us with all these dangerous requests, knowing that we’re fatigued…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin6"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Director Yujin will rise to become the president of Shi one day.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma4"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)We’ll be able to shake up this corrupted system once that time comes.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma5"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)We are Section 2. Our role is to simply take care of the tasks given to us.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin4"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Director… We’ve been dealing with Urban Nightmare-class cases for ten consecutive days.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma6"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Taking out the patriarch of the Naraku Clan, the retrieval of oblivion ingots, the destruction of the Fragment from Beyond, demolishing the Thin Beef Skirt Factory, and eliminating the captain of The Steel Comrades just yesterday.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma7"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)We had to resolve all these requests in the last ten days, without even a break…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma8"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)We normally shouldn’t be handling more than one such case per week…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma9-01"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Most Fixers of the Southern Branch’s Section 2 have already died.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin7"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)And none of those who survived are in good enough condition to proceed with another request, including us.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin8"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)We’re on the brink of a breakdown, both physically and mentally…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin9"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)You’ve seen how Section 3 and its Associate Offices got wiped out in a wave of unreasonable requests, and the same is happening to us now…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin10"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)And most of all, your condition is looking worse than any of us, Director Yujin…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma10"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)You stood at the front and fought more vehemently than anyone, to keep others from getting hurt…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma11"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)Broken parts can be mended, and wounds can be sewn up.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin5"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)…Your injuries are simply too severe to be healed up in a day or two, director.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin11"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Everyone in Section 2 has suffered damage that would take much longer than a few days to recover, in fact. Unless we had K Corp’s Singularity or something…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin12"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)You worry too much. We’ll handle the Library request just like any other requests we’ve done so far.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin6"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Director Yujin! Even if we were to handle this job successfully, they’ll still hand us yet more absurd cases!Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin13"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)…Valentin has a point. We might have to receive endless requests until Section 2 is annihilated and you are killed, director…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma12"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)I do have plans. In the end, the root of this matter lies with the Blue Reverberation.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin7"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)We aren’t heading to the Library simply to obey our superiors’ orders…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin8"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)Our objective is to retrieve the books of the Musicians of Bremen.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin9"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)…They’re what we need to uncover the Blue Reverberation’s plots.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin10"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)What do you mean…?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma13"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)I received a tip off that the person who appeared to be the leader of a Syndicate named the Musicians of Bremen spoke with the Blue Reverberation some time ago.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin11"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Are you suggesting that the books of the Musicians could contain information about the Blue Reverberation?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin14"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)We will at least be able to find out what he is conspiring.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin12"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Then, the reason you sent Full-Stop Office to assassinate the Church of Gears was also…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma14"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)…I understand your intention. But acquiring that information isn’t going to be the end of it.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin15"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)What exactly are you planning to do?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin16"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)I will take my own measures once this request is done.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin13"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Can we actually trust this, director? Can you promise us that you aren’t going to harm yourself for the sake of Section 2?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma15"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)You’ve always been so self-sacrificing, director…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin17"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)You can count on me. I know my own life matters.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin14"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)We can’t turn the tide if we’re dead.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin15"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)Gather up the ones who can still move and fight. We don’t want to bring anyone who will only prove to be a burden there.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin16"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Understood.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin18"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)She’s still honest to a fault.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland1"Angela(Library Director)Are you really sure you’re just a small, no-name Fixer?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela1"Angela(Library Director)Even I can tell that your connections are simply too broad and deep for a mediocre Fixer at this point.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela2"Roland(Servant)To answer your question, yes, I’m only a Grade 9 Fixer.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland2"Roland(Servant)That’s after I fell to rock bottom in a turn of events, though. I used to be a common Fixer, really.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland3"Angela(Library Director)Is that so? What grade were you at before, then?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela3"Roland(Servant)Would you believe me if I said I was a… kickass Grade 1 Fixer!Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland4"Angela(Library Director)It’s honestly hard to believe, but… if you say so.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela4"Roland(Servant)Wow, that was a lot less distrust than I expected…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland5"Roland(Servant)Anyway, I was just an ordinary Fixer who mostly collected intel. That’s why I got so many connections.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland6"Roland(Servant)I can only put up a decent fight now thanks to the new body you gave me and the Library’s powers.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland7"Angela(Library Director)You said trust is important in this business, right? Is it okay to see an acquaintance of yours die like that?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela5"Roland(Servant)It’s unfortunate to see ‘em struggle, yeah. Here’s the thing, though; we only saw things from their perspective.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland8"Roland(Servant)You think they’re free from the blame of killing some other people who struggled for life and fought for change?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland9"Angela(Library Director)I suppose not.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela6"Roland(Servant)That’s how it is. Someone they killed must have been in circumstances as unfortunate as theirs.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland10"Roland(Servant)Well, unless they weren’t. Point is, there’s no way for everyone to be equally happy. It’s a matter of perspective.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland11"Angela(Library Director)So they opt to simply do their work without ever trying to get to know each other.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela7"Roland(Servant)Everyone has their own stories.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland12"Roland(Servant)But we can’t give up ours for the sake of someone else’s. Like what we’re doing.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland13"Roland(Servant)That’s that, and this is this.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Roland14"Location: Library EntranceValentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)We’ve done all the first aid we could give.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin19"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Director…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma16"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)Focus on the work for now. We’ll take care of what we can first.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin17"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guests.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela8"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)Greetings. I am Yujin, Director of Shi’s Section 2. Introduce yourselves, everyone.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin18"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Huh? But…Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma17"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)When someone greets us, it’s only polite for us to greet them back, isn’t it?Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin19"Tenma(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Yessir! I am Tenma, Associate Fixer in Section 2 of the Shi.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Tenma18"Valentin(Shi S. Section 2 Fixer)Valentin, Associate Fixer in Section 2 of the Shi.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Valentin20"Angela(Library Director)I am Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela9"Yujin(Shi S. Section 2 Director)I came here through the invitation to acquire the books that are said to be here.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Yujin20"Angela(Library Director)Then may you find your books in this place, dear guests.Audio: "ch5_Shi_ep1_Angela10"
