The Red Mist — Episode 1 (Stage: 50009)Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)You called me here all of a sudden… What’s up?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_1"Angela(Library Director)Remember when I said we might be able to lure the Blue Reverberation using a theoretical book of the Red Mist?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_1"Roland(Servant)So, you’re ready to do that?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_2"Roland(Servant)Hold on… You aren’t actually gonna turn Gebura into a book, are you?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_3"Angela(Library Director)I wouldn’t do such a ruthless thing.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_2"Angela(Library Director)There’s a few things the Red Mist left behind, and I could use them to invite the Red Mist in her former glory as our guest.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_3"Angela(Library Director)I think I could recreate her somehow.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_4"Angela(Library Director)Though she can only exist within the bounds of the Library, of course.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_5"Roland(Servant)So we’re basically simulating her?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_4"Angela(Library Director)I suppose you could put it that way.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_6"Roland(Servant)But we need books to invite guests here. What kind of books are we gonna have to prepare for attracting the Red Mist?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_5"Angela(Library Director)…Books about Lobotomy Corporation.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_7"Roland(Servant)That’s the deal, huh… I get the gist of it.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_6"Angela(Library Director)And I plan to limit certain Patron Librarians from receiving the Red Mist.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_8"Roland(Servant)Cause she’s too tough for them?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_7"Angela(Library Director)That’s not the reason, no. Could the Red Mist stomach wielding her blade against those she worked with?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_9"Angela(Library Director)It’d clearly have adverse effects on both sides.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_10"Roland(Servant)It’s better to have her fight complete strangers, huh…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_8"Roland(Servant)The Red Mist of the past… Who knew that we’d be facing her in person.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_9"Angela(Library Director)It’s intriguing indeed. How does it feel?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_11"Roland(Servant)Thrilling, but also makes me worried…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Roland_10"Location: Library EntranceKali(The Red Mist)…The hell is this place.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_1-02"Angela(Library Director)This is my first time seeing you in this form, Gebura.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_12"Kali(The Red Mist)Gebura? What gibberish are you saying. And who are you?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_2-01"Angela(Library Director)That’s a fair reaction, I suppose…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_13"Angela(Library Director)Should I call you Kali, then?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_14"Kali(The Red Mist)I said, who’re you…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_3-01"Angela(Library Director)I’m Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake. I invited you here.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_15"Kali(The Red Mist)What? Library? Invited?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_4"Kali(The Red Mist)Am I in yet another weird factory or some shady experimenting grounds…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_5-01"Kali(The Red Mist)No wait, that still doesn’t make sense… I could’ve sworn I was inside the laboratory on the fringe of the Outskirts…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_6"Angela(Library Director)I need to know who you exactly are at the moment, so let me ask you a few questions.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_16"Angela(Library Director)Do you happen to have acquaintance with a person named Carmen?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_17"Kali(The Red Mist)…I knew it, some Wing must be pulling this bullshit trying to trample on us, huh?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_7-02"Angela(Library Director)There’s no need to be so wary.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_18"Angela(Library Director)Answer a few questions of mine, then I can give you the answer you lot are looking for.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_19"Kali(The Red Mist)Go ahead.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_8"Angela(Library Director)…Cogito. A book containing the information on how to obtain the substance you’re desperately looking for is waiting beyond this door.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_20"Angela(Library Director)I simply want to make an offer.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_21"Kali(The Red Mist)…What do you want? I’m warning you, if you try to pull any nonsense on me, this place is gonna be reduced to rubble.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_9-01"Angela(Library Director)It’s simple. First, I want to know the current situation of your group.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_22"Kali(The Red Mist)…If I answer your questions… you’ll tell me how to get Cogito for sure, right?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_10"Angela(Library Director)Of course. Mountains of books containing various kinds of knowledge are stored here.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_23"Angela(Library Director)I simply record and collect such books.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_24"Kali(The Red Mist)…Alright. I’ll trust you this once.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_11"Angela(Library Director)Good. Is Daniel among your peers?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_25"Kali(The Red Mist)…If you’re talking about that blue-haired nerd, then yeah.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_12-01"Angela(Library Director)How about Lisa?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_26"Kali(The Red Mist)…She’s with us.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_13-01"Angela(Library Director)Enoch’s corpse is in storage after an experiment on him went wrong, if I’m correct?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_27"Kali(The Red Mist)…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_14-01"Angela(Library Director)Then I suppose Elijah is naturally still working there?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_28"Kali(The Red Mist)…Yes.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_15-01"Angela(Library Director)It must be when the Red Mist was writing her own legend.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_29"Angela(Library Director)The time when she struggled to protect the grief-stricken Carmen and her colleagues from outside threats.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_30"Angela(Library Director)Oh how pitiful. Is there a word to describe how unfortunate your situation was?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_31"Angela(Library Director)Every researcher in Carmen’s team must have been walking on eggshells, cautious not to hurt her further with words.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_32"Angela(Library Director)They consoled her in her presence, but probably resented her behind her back.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_33"Angela(Library Director)She started the whole project with her convincing speeches, but the research showed no progress, and all they’d been seeing were losses and sacrifices.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_34"Angela(Library Director)Don’t you find her hypocrisy of demurely perpetrating sins while preaching goodness… despicable?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_35"Kali(The Red Mist)…Look, my patience has its limits.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_16-01"Kali(The Red Mist)If you don’t tell me how to acquire Cogito properly, then I won’t simply pass over what you just said.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_17"Kali(The Red Mist)You have no right to make a mockery of our efforts… or her sincerity.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_18-02"Angela(Library Director)…No right, you say.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_36"Angela(Library Director)Never mind. I suppose that was too hostile of me. I won’t even gain anything from saying such bitter things to you now.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_37"Kali(The Red Mist)At least you have the heart to apologize.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_19"Angela(Library Director)I know when to admit my faults, that’s all.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_38"Angela(Library Director)…Kali. Let me ask you one question.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_39"Kali(The Red Mist)…What is it?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_20"Angela(Library Director)I’ve seen many sides of Fixers while taking care of this place.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_40"Angela(Library Director)Most of them were motivated by wealth and fame.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_41"Angela(Library Director)But you’re different. Even without the promise of payment, you were willing to protect Carmen… and everyone else in her laboratory.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_42"Kali(The Red Mist)I ain’t exactly a charity worker, y’know.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_21-02"Angela(Library Director)How could you do it, then? How did you bring yourself to help them unconditionally when you had nothing to gain from it?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_43"Kali(The Red Mist)Is that supposed to be some kind of taunt, or are you actually curious?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_22"Angela(Library Director)I thought your behavior was pathetic at first. You had the power to earn anything for which everyone strove, so I wondered why you would bother taking the path no one else would.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_44"Angela(Library Director)I was looking at the matter in a simple way. You would take nothing in the end.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_45"Angela(Library Director)But then I began to think that maybe my lack of knowledge is hindering my assessment of you.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_46-01"Angela(Library Director)I thought my impression of you might change if I heard answers from you directly.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_47"Kali(The Red Mist)You think I’m getting the short end of the stick, huh?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_23-01"Angela(Library Director)I do. At least the other researchers could earn money and honor; what will you have gained?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_48"Angela(Library Director)Can you keep doing what you’re doing even if your efforts are unrewarded, or a bitter end awaits? Even if…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_49"Angela(Library Director)…Disregard that. Anyhow, is your job truly worth it?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_50"Kali(The Red Mist)The tangible rewards you talked about, like money… Nah, I don’t expect any of that.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_24-02"Kali(The Red Mist)There’s only one thing I’m looking forward to at the end of it all: Carmen’s purpose coming to fruition. I’m pretty sure everybody in the team’s thinking the same thing.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_25-01"Kali(The Red Mist)I won’t resent them if I suffered something awful or even died in that process.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_26"Kali(The Red Mist)At worst, I’d blame myself for being incapable.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_27"Kali(The Red Mist)The reason I can do this, and become more stalwart for every day that passes, is…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_28"Kali(The Red Mist)…I guess you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. ‘Cause you never saw it.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_29-01"Kali(The Red Mist)The strength in her eyes and voice.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_30-01"Angela(Library Director)…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_51-01"Angela(Library Director)I suppose that’s enough. Thank you for your answers.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_52"Angela(Library Director)I’ll explain the rules as a matter of form.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_53"Angela(Library Director)The book containing the method of extracting Cogito lies beyond that door.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_54-01"Angela(Library Director)To earn that book, you’ll have to fight with your life on the line.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_55-01"Angela(Library Director)If you die, you’ll become a book yourself. And if you survive, you can return to your friends with the book in hand.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_56"Angela(Library Director)Well? Do you agree to the terms?Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_57"Kali(The Red Mist)You aren’t giving it away for free, huh…Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_31-02"Kali(The Red Mist)I’m all for this kind of measure, actually. Doesn’t leave any further trouble.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_32"Kali(The Red Mist)I agree. So open up that door.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_33-01"Angela(Library Director)You’re trusting me more easily than I thought.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_58-01"Kali(The Red Mist)I don’t have the time to tell shit from shoe polish.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_34-01"Kali(The Red Mist)I wanna be of help to them as soon as I can.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_35-01"Kali(The Red Mist)If it turns out to be a lie, though, you’re going down with this place.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Kali_36"Angela(Library Director)Good, I like your composure. I was expecting you to be a bit more rampageous.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_59-01"Angela(Library Director)Then, Kali… May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch6_Red_Mist_ep1_Angela_60"
