Dialogue

Prologue

(Idle): Dana: What's taking so long...

(Talk to Dana)

Dana: Why hasn't (‍Mr. / Ms.‍) Proxy shown up yet?

The Proxy you're waiting for... Could it be...?

(Continue commission)

I'm just an ordinary passerby

Dana: When will (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / Ms.Ms.Text for Belle‍) Proxy come...?
(Exit dialogue)

Dana: You've finally come, (‍Mr. / Ms.‍) Proxy!

Keep it down!

You were waiting for me?

Dana: Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just a bit over-excited seeing you show up!

Dana: One of my seniors told me that I just needed to wait for you at the construction site and that you would show up soon enough...

Dana: Young and (‍handsome / cute‍), they can't hide their protagonist nature even when standing among a crowd. They run as if no one else is around to take action. They always take the initiative to help others as if some mysterious power is guiding them.

Dana: So, that must be you, Master Proxy.

What kind of trouble are you in?

So, who am I helping today?

Dana: Oh, I'm sorry! I heard that giving too much irrelevant background information is one of the top mistakes newcomers make in the workplace!

Dana: Time is money... Getting straight to the point is the right thing to do!

Dana: Here's the thing: My name is Dana, a new employee of Belobog Industries. I accidentally lost an important sample my boss collected from the depths of a Hollow...

Dana: My boss is a... a super professional lady. I really can't afford to let her learn of my mistake...

Dana: A kind senior recommended your excellent service to me so that I can make things right before my boss finds out!

Could that boss be Gr...

Is that senior Ben...

Dana: ...Please don't say it aloud.

Dana: Anyway, Ben has given me permission to use the heavy drill rig... To collect the samples, I just have to place the rig in the right weak spot in the Hollow and let it run by itself.

Dana: But the sound of the drill rig will attract a lot of Ethereals... So, I need your help in protecting it.

Dana: I need you to keep the drill rig safe until sample collection is complete... Then I can rectify my mistake!

Dana: Please do this favor for me... Ben has issued me my year-end bonus in advance, so I'll pay you handsomely!

Leave it to me.

Let me make some preparations.

Dana: In that case... I'm counting on you!

(Idle): Dana: I'm such an idiot...

Commission Description

"I just messed up big time at my new job — I accidentally lost an important sample my boss scored from the depths of a Hollow! If I don't sort this out, I'm toast!"
To save this careless Belobog new recruit from losing her job, a kind-hearted Proxy like myself is ready to make waves in the in-Hollow construction industry!

(Upon starting the commission): Fairy Smart Intervention: "Transferring you to the client. Please hold."; Fairy Smart Intervention: ...; Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Proxy! Right on time. My superior was right, I can definitely count on you!"; Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Our goal is to
defend the drill rig from monsters while it's operating!"; Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Of course asking you to fight in your current condition is a bit of a stretch. All you have to do is control the device we give you to fight off the enemies — that's it!"; Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "And while you're at it, you can test my... I mean, our company's new product:
Long-Range Acceleration D Rounds!"; Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "We're not military. These D Rounds were originally developed for building demolition. Yet, they're used as weapons... Powerful indeed, try them and see!"

(After the event): Dana: Control the lever and shoot D rounds!

(Use the cannon to hit an enemy): Dana: They explode upon hitting a target

(Defeat the top enemy)^{[Note 1]}: Dana: Now go to the mine!

(Head to the next area): Dana: Large numbers of D Rounds have been prepared for you; Dana: Please note enemies can quickly approach the drill rig through the fissures.; Dana: Beware of enemies attempting to enter the fissures.; Dana: The enemies are coming... Everything is in your hands!; Dana: Don't waste too many D Rounds; Dana: D Rounds take a while to reload

(Clear the first wave of enemies): Dana: Strong enemies incoming!; Dana: We need to hit them with more D Rounds to take them out!

(Clear the second wave of enemies): Dana: The enemy is stronger than we thought. It's time to play the trump card...; Dana: Let's reinforce the engineering unit with the modification table we just requested!; Dana: Give it a try before more enemies arrive!

(Interact with the modification table)

Fairy Smart Intervention: "Transferring you to the client again. Please hold..."

Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Is the situation getting tense? Please allow me to recommend something even more powerful than D Rounds... introducing: DDD Rounds!"

Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Firing it grinds up all the enemies in its ballistic path in one go. It's highly efficient!"

Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Plus, we dug out some great stuff... All I need is the samples, so why don't you take the rest!"

(If the drill rig took 6 or more hits)

Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "All bark and no bite! Despite the drill rig being attacked (x) times, we still managed to pick up a few samples!"

Fairy Smart Intervention: Dana: "Plus, we dug up something... That's kind of unexpected, so why don't you take it!"
