You’re..." }, { "id": 2, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "What’s wrong? It’s like you're all looking at a ghost. Pilot, didn’t you tell me that you shared my news with them the last time?" }, { "id": 3, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "I-I did! I sure did, ma’am!" }, { "id": 4, "model": "그레고르", "content": "Oh…! Yeah! He did!" }, { "id": 5, "content": "The Sinners each recovered from the initial shock of seeing them again..." }, { "id": 6, "content": "... and soon, their faces began to bloom with relieved smiles." }, { "id": 7, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Well, good to see that things haven’t changed much around here." }, { "id": 8, "model": "단테", "content": "" }, { "id": 9, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Tick-tock to you, too. Good to see your gears are turning just fine." }, { "id": 10, "content": "Saude smiled with a familiar grin.

I don’t see what your problem is here." }, { "id": 17, "model": "그레고르", "content": "But we all know the meaning that promotion carries..." }, { "id": 18, "model": "오티스", "content": "Indeed, and it is very profound. After all, what meaning is there to a promotion attained without spilling some blood?" }, { "id": 19, "model": "그레고르", "content": "You… you’re a real piece of work…" }, { "id": 20, "model": "오티스", "content": "Let me ask you something, then. If everyone behaves like you do around her, tiptoeing around the facts, keeping it hush-hush about what happened, where’s she going to get the bare minimum of the recognition and the consolation she deserves?" }, { "id": 21, "model": "그레고르", "content": "……." }, { "id": 22, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Hush-hush would’ve been nice. I’ve even overheard some of them whisper that I let my partner die just so I can snag a promotion." }, { "id": 23, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "So, in that regard… I appreciate that, Outis." }, { "id": 24, "model": "오티스", "content": "… Hm." }, { "id": 25, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "If we're being technical, I did die... except my brain was intact.

Then did Effie also—" }, { "id": 27, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Apparently they went right for Effie's head when they stabbed him with a prosthetic." }, { "id": 28, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "...

Let’s not dwell on the depressing stuff." }, { "id": 33, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "We’re here for work, let’s get some work done. So let’s talk about work, okay? Pilot?" }, { "id": 34, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "Uh! Yes ma’am!" }, { "id": 35, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "W-well, lessee here. Coincidentally, I happened to make friends with a feller who has ties to the Jia family! So I brought’em over!" }, { "id": 36, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "……." }, { "id": 37, "model": "그레고르", "content": "Hey, … i-is that everything?" }, { "id": 38, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "Y-yessir. Briefing over." }, { "id": 39, "content": "Just as everyone was reeling in stunned silence at the least informative, least helpful briefing we ever had the displeasure of sitting through..." }, { "id": 40, "content": "... Ishmael was the first to catch herself. She looked up at Saude." }, { "id": 41, "model": "이스마엘", "content": "... Saude, can we rely on you for some elaboration here?" }, { "id": 42, "model": "뫼르소", "content": "The briefing was a good demonstration of the necessity of educating the 'Five Ws and One H' principle." }, { "id": 43, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Haha. Looks like we’ll have a lot to discuss once we get back, Pilot." }, { "id": 44, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "Uhh… Did I do somethin’ wrong?!" }, { "id": 45, "model": "그레고르", "content": "Shh. Shh! Pilot, buddy, just stop. You're digging yourself a deeper hole with every word." }, { "id": 46, "content": "Gregor quickly leaned in to warn Pilot, but it was likely too late. A nigh-unnoticeable crease had already formed between Saude's brows." }, { "id": 47, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "... Prior to commencing this high-priority operation, it was necessary for us to find individuals with connections to H Corp." }, { "id": 48, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "So we as the Preliminary Observation Unit were put to the task, and... we managed to establish a connection with an individual." }, { "id": 49, "model": "홍루", "content": "Ooh~ Someone from my family?" }, { "id": 50, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "No. We tried, but your family proved to be a rather difficult nut to crack. However, as we were wasting our precious time with all of our leads, Pilot pursued an unconventional method to establish this connection." }, { "id": 51, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "I really didn't hold back on compliments then, and this is how you..." }, { "id": 52, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "Nnh..." }, { "id": 53, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Hm. Our collaborator is a former employee of the Jia family. After leaving the family, he now runs a lodging business." }, { "id": 54, "model": "오티스", "content": "Then it is likely that he is far removed from the family politics; less motivation for him to attack us due to conflicting interests." }, { "id": 55, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Yes. And according to Pilot's report, he still regards the Jia family positively." }, { "id": 56, "teller": "???", "title": "???", "content": "How can I not, considering the blessings they have given me?" }, { "id": 57, "content": "An unfamiliar voice butted into the conversation, as though to continue Saude's explanations." }, { "id": 58, "model": "경도", "content": "I humbly present myself before the fellowship of young master Baoyu. Please, call me Qingtao." }, { "id": 59, "content": "He greeted us in a most polite fashion before bringing his hands together in an odd motion." }, { "id": 60, "model": "단테", "content": "<... Oh, is this how people greet each other here?>" }, { "id": 61, "model": "홍루", "content": "Yep, it's called the 'baoquan gesture'. Bringing fist and palm together to express respect and peace toward the receiver." }, { "id": 62, "model": "돈키호테", "content": "Aha! Knights greet one another by shaking their hands for the selfsame purpose. Forsooth, thou art indeed one possessed of a chivalrous spirit!" }, { "id": 63, "model": "경도", "content": "Ah, indeed! Much did I worry about the qualities of people young master has surrounded himself with, but I see that he is in company of those wise in the ways of the west." }, { "id": 64, "model": "경도", "content": "I prostrate myself before the vast breadth of your knowledge! What grand generosity it is, to open ajar the waterways of wisdom to quench my barren lands." }, { "id": 65, "model": "단테", "content": "<…….>" }, { "id": 66, "model": "단테", "content": "<... Something feels familiar about this.>" }, { "id": 67, "model": "로쟈", "content": "Nah, she's been getting less and less verbose with bootlicking these days... not like this guy, for sure." }, { "id": 68, "model": "단테", "content": "" }, { "id": 69, "model": "싱클레어", "content": "What are you guys talking about...?" }, { "id": 70, "model": "경도", "content": "Communicating only by the sound a ticking clock... this is something I had already known ahead of time, yet..." }, { "id": 71, "model": "경도", "content": "... what a most curious exchange to behold in person! Brief this journey may be, yet I shall find myself thoroughly entertained in its entirety! Ha ha!" }, { "id": 72, "model": "로쟈", "content": "Maybe it's the subtle sprinkle of disrespect that reminds you of the usual flavor..." }, { "id": 73, "model": "오티스", "content": "... Wait, is this about me? You dare...!?" }, { "id": 74, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Ahem..." }, { "id": 75, "content": "Was all that bootlicking she did supposed to be a source of pride for her or something...?" }, { "id": 76, "content": "Outis shook her head with clear distaste and strode toward me." }, { "id": 77, "model": "오티스", "content": "We are nothing alike, Executive Manager!" }, { "id": 78, "model": "오티스", "content": "Never have I once said such empty flattery in your presence, filled with nothing but hot air and superlatives—!" }, { "id": 79, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "I'll leave the guidance of these Backstreets to him. Well, looks like this is where—" }, { "id": 80, "content": "Saude fell silent, her eyes lingering on Vergilius who stood somewhat apart from the rest of us." }, { "id": 81, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "So I finally get to meet the Red Gaze, in the flesh.

I'm not happy to be helping you with your businesses—I'd much rather put this behind me as soon as possible." }, { "id": 88, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Oh, please! It's our historic first collaborative operation, isn't it? Can't you spare a little more time with us~?" }, { "id": 89, "model": "그레고르", "content": "The guide bud's... actually doing something? That guy?" }, { "id": 90, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Yes. Unfortunately, LCC has our own business to take care of today, so I won't be accompanying the LCB this time. And the Red Gaze will be helping us out to get it done." }, { "id": 91, "model": "카론", "content": "Taking Mephi there. Vroom-vroom." }, { "id": 92, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Hm... maybe it's not that unfortunate, now that I think about it. I feel like every mission with the LCB's always been an uphill battle to get anything done..." }, { "id": 93, "model": "로쟈", "content": "W-well, you see... back then, we were..." }, { "id": 94, "model": "뉴소드", "content": "Ha ha, just messing with you. I'm sure we'll have another chance to work together again." }, { "id": 95, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "Boss, we don't got much time...!" }, { "id": 96, "model": "이스마엘", "content": "Wait, before you go... I think you owe us some explanation, Vergilius." }, { "id": 97, "model": "베르길리우스", "content": "... I will leave the details to miss Faust.

I'll see you around." }, { "id": 101, "model": "뉴파일럿", "content": "N-next time, I'll show y'all!
