Branch Manager)Don’t be ridiculous… You’re the one who gave me an impossible task in the first place…!Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama3-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Sigh… It was your choice to only employ Section 2 of the southern branch for this, Thelma.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia11"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You could’ve had Section 1 deal with some of them. Little Mister Prideful Thelma tried pulling a shabby scheme to get rid of Section 2 so he could keep his seat, and now he’s failed to keep up his promise with me.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia12"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)But you!!! You gave me the hint to use them!!!Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama4-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I never said it was a must, though, now did I?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia13"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)All I asked from you was to take care of the things on the list within the period I set. And you agreed to it.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia14"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)…Cunning bastard… …If you kill me, the branch manager… Then Section 1 of my branch will be after you, and Shi HQ will too…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama5-01"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)Even Hana is going to make a move…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama6"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)So… Please…!Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama7-01"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)Please give me another chance…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama8-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Thelma… You just can’t bring yourself to say sorry for breaking our promise till the very end.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia15"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)It aches my heart to see it. Oh, and you don’t have to worry about me.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia16"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Remind me where we are, friends?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia17"Wang(Smiling Faces)It’s de Backstreets, aye.

Let’s proceed with it, friends.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia20"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)…I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, sir!Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama10_b"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)I’m terribly sorry… Khn, hnn… I’m sorry for breaking our promise…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama11-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)……Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia21"Wang(Smiling Faces)What do we doodily-do, Blue fella?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Wang8"Mi(Smiling Faces)Do we cut it short ‘ere?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Mi4"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Thelma…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia22"Thelma(Shi S.

Time to put yer gags back on, laddie. Say ah~Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Wang9"Thelma(Shi S. Branch Manager)AAAAAAAAH!!!! YOU BITCH!! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!!Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Thelama15-01"Mi(Smiling Faces)Don’t make such a sad face, lad~ We all gotta have more smiles and laughter in our life.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Mi5"Jin(Smiling Faces)What’ll we do next, fella?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Jin5"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)As soon as you’re done with him, head to the Library. I’ll leave the invitation here.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia28"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)And take good care of Thelma. He was my old friend, all in all.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia29"Wang(Smiling Faces)Hoh hon. You bet we will. Take care, laddie~Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Wang10"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Now then, Eileen. Shall we go meet some other friends?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Argalia30"Eileen(Church of Gears Leader)Of course, sir.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Eileen2-02"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)He’s totally won over the heart of the leader of the Church of Gears, huh…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland1"Roland(Servant)Sigh… That absolute madman…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland2"Roland(Servant)He’s a Fixer, and he’s got a Distortion and even the Smiling Faces on his leash…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland3"Angela(Library Director)Being a Color must mean having immense power, is that right?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela1"Roland(Servant)Mmhmm. Colors are exceptionally skilled Fixers even among Grade 1.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland4"Roland(Servant)Hana Association assigns a unique color to each of ‘em.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland5"Angela(Library Director)Assigned a color…Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela2"Roland(Servant)They’re the best Fixers in the City, basically.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland6"Roland(Servant)Their pay is way up there, too.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland7"Angela(Library Director)I suppose ‘The Blue Reverberation’ was assigned the color blue.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela3"Roland(Servant)Yep. Just like how ‘The Red Mist’ was assigned the color red.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland8"Angela(Library Director)Is he as strong as the Red Mist?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela4"Roland(Servant)Well, in terms of sheer power, the Red Mist in her prime is probably above him.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland9"Roland(Servant)But, there’s a whole lot of fields of Fixer activity, and the situations can differ for each case, so it’s hard to make a fair one-on-one comparison.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland10"Roland(Servant)For example, the Red Mist liked to work alone, but the Blue Reverb is leading a Urban Nightmare-class Syndicate as you can see there.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland11"Angela(Library Director)Could we get the Blue Reverberation’s book if we ever happen to need it?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela5"Roland(Servant)Maybe, if we tried by any means. The City would be much better off without that maniac, too.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Roland12"Location: Inside the LibraryJin(Smiling Faces)Hoho, would ye look at that~ This place sure is a whole ‘nother world~Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Jin6"Mi(Smiling Faces)Don’t get lost in it now, lad! Ya got to keep on yer toes in a tiger’s den.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Mi6-01"Wang(Smiling Faces)Huff~ ‘s about time the director showed up?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Wang11"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guests.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela7"Jin(Smiling Faces)Nice to meet ya, lassie~Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Jin7"Wang(Smiling Faces)Say, you have the book of an ol’ pal named Yujin here, eh?Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Wang12"Angela(Library Director)We do indeed.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela8"Wang(Smiling Faces)Woh, really? Guess there really is. Blue fella really is a scary one.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Wang13"Jin(Smiling Faces)Sure is, sure is. Everything’s goin’ as he says.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Jin8"Angela(Library Director)…May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch5_Smiling_ep1_Angela9"
