Location: Inside the Library
Servant Roland
So, what am I supposed to do?
Library Director Angela
Your role is to “welcome” the guests invited to the Library.
Library Director Angela
I will carefully determine what guests to invite and write an invitation accordingly, and you will entertain the guests once they accept the invitation and arrive at the Library.
Library Director Angela
Since you have actual experience working as a Fixer, I am sure you will be able to give the various types of guests a much better reception than I could.
Servant Roland
I’m just a washed-up Grade 9 Fixer, though…
Servant Roland
What’s this “reception” all about anyway? Do I catch their eyes, or be a waiter for them or something?
Library Director Angela
It’s simple. You just have to deal with the guests. In a physical manner, of course.
Library Director Angela
The Library presents the guests with an ordeal, and books will open up in the process.
Library Director Angela
The guests who have overcome the ordeal will be deemed worthy to earn their books.
Library Director Angela
There is the possibility that you may die in the process of reception, but it’s only temporary. You’ll get back up when the Library closes.
Library Director Angela
No one here may rest without my permission.
Servant Roland
Do you happen to have some weird fantasies about Fixers? Aren’t you expecting too much from a Grade 9? I’m not as talented as you seem to think, y’know.
Library Director Angela
That’s none of my business. I have prepared a manual for you, so go ahead and figure things out yourself.
Servant Roland
I think I get the gist of it now. So, how does this invitation exactly work?
Library Director Angela
Open up the invitation, and register the books you wish to serve to your guests.
Library Director Angela
The invitation will be naturally sent to those who need the books.
Servant Roland
That’s it? Sounds a bit too easy.
Library Director Angela
The invitation is another carefully crafted work of mine, much like the Library.
Library Director Angela
Yes, think of it as a compass. It would be easier to understand that way.
Servant Roland
Ah~ A compass? As in the tool that tells directions?
Library Director Angela
That’s right. The invitations will guide me towards the one book that I truly wish to obtain.
Library Director Angela
And sometimes, the invitation may turn red according to the books you’ve registered.
Library Director Angela
A red invitation indicates that it can be sent to the special guests who will unravel the next part of the story.
Library Director Angela
Until we register the books that match what the red invitation wants, our journey will be halted for a bit.
Servant Roland
But there’s no guarantee that the guest will always respond to the invitation, right?
Library Director Angela
In fact, there is. They’re destined to come.
Library Director Angela
And the guests will accept the invitation of their own will and enter the Library.
Servant Roland
That’s surprisingly polite and fair for something that takes place in this city.
Servant Roland
Most of the time, people’s lives are taken away by others without any consent or agreement.
Servant Roland
Well, anyway, once we get those books, what comes next?
Library Director Angela
The Library is a place of limitless possibilities.
Library Director Angela
Even I cannot fathom the infinite space and power of this library just yet.
Library Director Angela
That’s why I wish to complete the Library by filling that space with books.
Library Director Angela
And I will get in my hands the one perfect book that will complete me and my library.
Servant Roland
The perfect book, huh… I suppose those “books” are different from the ones I know.
