Cane Office — Episode 1 (Stage: 50005)Location: Cane OfficeBada(Cane Fixer)President, have you seen the request from T Corp?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_1-02"Nemo(Cane President)Well well~ This is such a difficult situation.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_1"Martina(Cane Fixer)…Have we been found out…?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_1"Nemo(Cane President)How clumsy of W Corp. to leak its Singularity so carelessly. That’s no good! No good at all!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_2-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)Though everything went as the Blue Reverberation said in the end, I must admit.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_2-02"Nemo(Cane President)Yes! Indeed! This is a perfect opportunity for us to learn the details of W Corp’s Singularity!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_3-01"Nemo(Cane President)All we have to do now is visit the Library with this Invitation and earn the books of W Corp’s cleanup crew!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_4-01"Martina(Cane Fixer)…Prez… …The Library is a Star of the City now…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_2-01"Nemo(Cane President)We’ve completed eleven requests regarding Stars of the City until now! Such expertise is why we’re under the direct sponsorship of T Corp!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_5"Bada(Cane Fixer)When we acquire the confidential information on W Corp’s Singularity, what are you going to do with it? I don’t believe you’ll just return it to W Corp.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_3"Nemo(Cane President)We should sell it to the clients that need the technology, of course! A patent war is about to break out, too.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_6"Bada(Cane Fixer)So we aren’t handing it to T Corp. right away.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_4-02"Nemo(Cane President)Mister Bada! It takes more than just diligent work to rise through the ranks as our Office has!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_7-02"Nemo(Cane President)We should always seek opportunities!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_8-01"Nemo(Cane President)I was honestly skeptical at first when we were told to entrust work to some irrelevant rubbish like the Gaze Office…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_9"Nemo(Cane President)I thought they were joking with us, but look what it did for us!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_10"Nemo(Cane President)Here’s the thing, though…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_11"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)See? Squarey head. It went just as I predicted, didn’t it?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_1"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)It’s a pleasure to meet you for the second time, President Nemo of Cane Office.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_1-01"Nemo(Cane President)…Here’s the thing! You poncy creep and Wing-forsaken skeleton head. Since when did we agree to go there on our own?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_12-01"Nemo(Cane President)This is how you screw us over?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_13"Nemo(Cane President)We’re supposed to walk into the Library ourselves? Including me?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_14-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Six-sided skull. You bragged about taking care of eleven Star of the City-class requests mere moments ago, no? What’s wrong…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_2"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Don’t tell me, are you scared…?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_3"Bada(Cane Fixer)You were listening in on our conversation…?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_5-02"Martina(Cane Fixer)…This could be problematic…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_3-01"Nemo(Cane President)Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, you sneaky peepers, you… They say the walls have ears, but it looks like shitbags do, too!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_15_b-04"Nemo(Cane President)Am I scared?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_16-04"Nemo(Cane President)Well, YES! I’m scared piss-and-shitless, thanks for asking!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_17-06"Martina(Cane Fixer)…Prez got miffed…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_4-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)It’s going to be a real hassle cooling him down for a while.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_6"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)I did not quite expect the prominent and prestigious Cane Office to swallow their words.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_2-01"Nemo(Cane President)Mister Skullcap! Do I look like scrap for brains?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_18-01"Nemo(Cane President)Your motive is so transparently blatant, I can’t possibly not be terrified!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_19"Nemo(Cane President)If I were to enter the Library? And turn into a book there?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_20"Nemo(Cane President)And then the Library would get a book detailing the Singularities of W Corp. and T Corp? In the same Library where the book about L Corp. is?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_21"Bada(Cane Fixer)……Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_7-02"Martina(Cane Fixer)…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_5-01"Nemo(Cane President)Guess who will be getting a hold of three Singularities at once!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_22-01"Nemo(Cane President)In times like these, when we’re on the brink of a patent war?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_23-01"Nemo(Cane President)Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s so plainly obvious, I don’t see a point to say it twice!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_24-01"Nemo(Cane President)Tell me. Who’s the mastermind behind this. Whose pockets are you trying to fill with your little games.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_25-03"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Dear, dear…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_3-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Hahaha…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_4"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Ah…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_5"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I was wondering what words were going to come out of your agitated speech device…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_6"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)That’s all you could think with your rectangular noggin?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_7"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Singularities? A patent war?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_8"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I can’t even get a chuckle out of it. It’s not funny in the slightest.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_9"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)You like to raise your voice over the pettiest things like your life depends on them, don’t you, boxy buck. I’m stunned by how puny this is.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_10"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Rhombus brain thinks we’re just here to make some bread.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_11"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)How idiotic…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_12-01"Nemo(Cane President)SHUT UP!!!!!!!!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_26-02"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Mister Nemonitor. I’m not interested in your views.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_13"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Patent war? Mastermind? Money? Think whatever you want. But promises are promises.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_14"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Pluto.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_15-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Of course, sir. Ladies and gents, please have another look at the contract.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_4"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)To summarize the point, we will provide Cane Office with information about W Corp’s Singularity.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_5-02"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)And in return, Cane Office will secure books from the Library for us, when we want them.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_6-02"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)The signatures of Mister Nemo, Miss Martina, Mister Bada, and the leader of our ensemble, Argalia, are clearly written here.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_7"Bada(Cane Fixer)We weren’t told that the information about W Corp’s Singularity would be provided in the form of books from the Library. Not to mention having to acquire it ourselves.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_8-02"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)The terms were in rather ambiguous vocabulary, admittedly.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_8-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)However, that would not make the content of this contract any less appropriate under the current circumstances.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_9-01"Martina(Cane Fixer)…You aren’t one to decide that…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_6"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Cube-boy’d taken the pen like lightning and he signed the contract in haste, making a huge fuss about a patent war or whatever, wasn’t it? I’m pretty sure he said he’s in urgent need of intel about the Singularities.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_16"Bada(Cane Fixer)The contract never specified that we are to head to the Library ourselves. It only said “Cane Office” is going.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_9-03"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)You should’ve checked the terms carefully. Here, take a look.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_10-01"Martina(Cane Fixer)…I’m not seeing a thing…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_7-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Let me lend you my eyeglass, dear. Have a closer look at the fine print.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_11-01"Martina(Cane Fixer)…“All those who sign this contract must retrieve books at the Library”…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_8-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)What foolish deception. Do you think you’ll get off scot-free after meddling with our business?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_10"Bada(Cane Fixer)What makes you think we’ll abide by your fraudulent contract at this point?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_11-08"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Dear, dear…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_12-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)This thing is no ordinary contract, you see…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_17"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Ah, what was it called, Pluto?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_18"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)It would be ‘Yesterday's Promise’.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_13"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Right, that. Yesterday’s Promise! Not my type of name, to be honest.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_19"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Anyway, if you don’t fulfill the conditions of this contract, he can take anything out of those who signed the paper, see? We can take as much as we want, whenever we want.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_20-01"Nemo(Cane President)…Nonsense!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_27"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Pluto.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_21"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)As you wish.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_14"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Lo and behold. This is Mister Bada’s heart.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_15-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)Kuhrgh…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_12-01"Martina(Cane Fixer)…Bada…!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_9-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)You’ve spent quite a fortune on your body. I can see this heart is augmented with an exquisite procedure.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_16-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)Here, I’ve returned it to you.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_17-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)See, ol’ oblong? I don’t care about what you think; I just want you to keep the promises you made with me.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_22"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Besides, T Corp. directly issued the same order to you, so you have to be there anyhow, no? Seething with anger at us won’t spare you from going to the Library.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_23"Nemo(Cane President)Let me ask something!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_28"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)Hm?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_24"Nemo(Cane President)What are you plotting to do with demons like that?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_29-01"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)I’ll perform the beauty of humanity and this world.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_25"Argalia(The Blue Reverberation)It will break down the boundaries of loneliness we all have…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Agalia_26-01"Pluto(Yesterday’s Promise)We’d appreciate it if you could get the job done by today.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Pluto_18-01"Nemo(Cane President)…Beauty…? Loneliness…?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_30-01"Nemo(Cane President)Ha! Ha! Ha! Brainsick looney…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_31-02"Martina(Cane Fixer)…Bada, is your heart okay…? …Should we go see a doctor…?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_10-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)They’re gone…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_13-02"Martina(Cane Fixer)…What are we gonna do now, prez…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_11-01"Nemo(Cane President)Well! It looks like we’ve been had!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_32"Bada(Cane Fixer)…Are you really sure we’ll be alright going by ourselves underprepared…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_14-06"Nemo(Cane President)Let’s think simplistically, everyone. Don’t get too serious!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_33-01"Nemo(Cane President)We’ll head into the Library, take the books, and come back! That’s all there is to it!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_34-01"Nemo(Cane President)Let’s get ready!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_35-02"Location: Inside the LibraryAngela(Library Director)I remember that skeleton, he was with the Blue Reverberation the last time we saw him.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_1"Roland(Servant)Mmhmm. He said something about ‘Yesterday's Promise’.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_1"Angela(Library Director)I think I read about it in one of the guests’ books. On the surface, it appears to be an ordinary contract, but unfavorable terms are hidden in the fine print.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_2"Angela(Library Director)It was speculated to be the cause of some kind of incident, although I’m not quite sure if the claim is verifiable…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_3"Angela(Library Director)It’s even more obscene to see it in action. That’s such a manipulative scheme.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_4"Roland(Servant)Well, I suppose. He’s far from being the only manipulative guy in the City, though.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_2"Angela(Library Director)That’s true. People use each other all the time.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_5"Roland(Servant)Do you think that’s a given?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_3"Angela(Library Director)I simply gave up dwelling on it any further. I still don’t believe that’s fair.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_6"Angela(Library Director)In a similar vein, you’re using me and I’m using you.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_7"Roland(Servant)If you say so, I guess.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_4"Angela(Library Director)Don’t worry. I don’t mean to imply any distrust towards you.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_8"Angela(Library Director)It’s just… yes, keeping the options open, that’s all. Better safe than sorry, as they say.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_9"Roland(Servant)Hey, I never told you any lies, y’know?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_5"Angela(Library Director)You’re only keeping a few things from me.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_10"Roland(Servant)Mm… I guess I am.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_6"Angela(Library Director)Forget it. Why don’t you go back to sorting books, now.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_11"Roland(Servant)You won’t bother being inquisitive, huh… Is there any reason you aren’t asking further?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_7"Angela(Library Director)None in particular… I could certainly pry, but I figured it wouldn’t be fun to uncover everything about you that way.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_12"Angela(Library Director)I came to the conclusion that having something to be curious of is beneficial for maintaining interpersonal relationships, that’s all.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_13"Angela(Library Director)Or perhaps I’ve grown to trust you that much.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_14"Location: Library EntranceNemo(Cane President)We were led by monsters out of the pan and into the flame: a den of monsters known as the Library.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_36-02"Nemo(Cane President)This has to be comedy gold, the joke of the century.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_37-02"Bada(Cane Fixer)I heard the Library is rather gentle, if that helps.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_15-01"Nemo(Cane President)…Just a moment.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_38-02"Bada(Cane Fixer)Is anything the matter?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_16-03"Nemo(Cane President)Martina!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_39"Martina(Cane Fixer)Yeah…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_12-01"Nemo(Cane President)What do you think of this place?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_40-01"Martina(Cane Fixer)It’s faint, but… I can smell something…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_13-01"Nemo(Cane President)Exactly! It reeks of money, profit!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_41-02"Bada(Cane Fixer)You can’t even smell with that head.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_17"Nemo(Cane President)Every cloud has a silver lining, and looks like we’ve found one!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_42"Bada(Cane Fixer)Are you planning to sell books or something?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_18-01"Nemo(Cane President)Precisely! Even if our reputation as a contract Office may tank, at least we won’t starve to death if we get books from here and sell them!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_43-02"Martina(Cane Fixer)Aren’t you… swimming in cash already, prez…?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_14-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)Martina, our president spends a year’s worth of an average Backstreets dweller’s food expenses every day. He can never have enough money.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_19"Nemo(Cane President)Still, I never bilked my Office staff, my word upon it!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_44-01"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guests.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_15"Nemo(Cane President)You must be Angela, the director of this place, the so-called ‘Pale Librarian’!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_45"Bada(Cane Fixer)She doesn’t look pale at all, though.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_20-05"Nemo(Cane President)Bada! Watch your words.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_46"Nemo(Cane President)Miss Angela here may be our precious provider of goods and wealth in the future!Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Nemo_47-02"Martina(Cane Fixer)Prez changes his attitude so swiftly…Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Martina_15-01"Bada(Cane Fixer)I’m used to it by now.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Bada_21-03"Angela(Library Director)May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_16"
