Story "Advancing Duel"

Video Summary: The number three rule in undercover work: Ignore the first and second rules and strike when needed.
Story Description: Just as the duel between Jane and Seth is about to begin, they are told it will take place in the Lion's Den. Jane travels through the Hollow fissure, only to discover that the Lion's Den is hidden inside Hollow Zero. To qualify for the duel with Seth, she must venture to the center of the Hollow.


A short while later, at the Mountain Lions' transfer station.
With two of the hostages escaped plus the upcoming duel, Razor decides to evacuate the station early. Restless, the gang begins packing everything up in a hurry.
Jane: (I've finally managed to get things going... keeping Seth alive, while also using him as the bait I need to get into the Lion's Den...)
Jane: (The escape supplies are all ready. My route and universal keycard are all sorted. I just need a way to rescue Seth before our duel.)
Jane: (Plus there's that guard kid. I dropped him off in a place where there were warnings of fissures potentially opening...)
Jane: (He said he's been at this transfer station a while and knows all the fissures and shortcuts around this area. Guess I can only hope that he was telling the truth...)
Jane: Please, please be safe...
Razor's Right Hand: Oh? So our strong newcomer who's going all out to become a bodyguard is someone who says her prayers, huh?
Jane: Why so quiet all of a sudden? You scared?
Razor's Right Hand: Hmph, seems like this'll be easier then, given you know I'm a bodyguard. I'm here on the boss' orders to take you to the Lion's Den.
Jane: So everything's already set up for the fight? No need to shower, get changed, go over the rules, paint up some lion shirts... or anything like that?
Razor's Right Hand: ...
Jane: Ah c'mon, I was just kidding, mister bodyguard. You don't have to be so nervous.
Razor's Right Hand: I'll guide you through the fissure into the Lion's Den. We leave now.
Jane: Gotcha. Just let me pack my things, and then...
Razor's Right Hand: We leave... now.
Jane: Why the rush? The Lion's Den isn't going anywhere... At least let me fix my makeup, okay?
Razor's Right Hand: ...Jane, are you going to ignore the rules of the Mountain Lions?
Jane: Fine, fine... Let's go now, then. You lead the way, mister bodyguard.
Jane: (Ugh, it's starting so quickly that I didn't have time to grab my escape supplies... I had a feeling something like this might happen. Looks like I'll have to come up with an escape plan on the fly.)
Jane follows the Mountain Lion bodyguard down a corridor and through the innermost fissure. The strange feeling of Ether energy brushing against her skin causes a slight tingling sensation.
Stepping out of the fissure, Jane finds herself in a completely unexpected place...
Jane: Is this... Hollow Zero?! So the Lion's Den is hidden inside Hollow Zero?
Razor's Right Hand: Hmph, sometimes the most dangerous place is also the safest. Those Pubsec cowards never go anywhere dangerous, but we Mountain Lions aren't afraid!
Jane: (So that's it! The Mountain Lions know the location of a stable fissure leading to Hollow Zero from a Companion Hollow. Every time they need to escape, they flee to this area in Hollow Zero!)
Jane: (That's why Public Security could never find or catch them...)
Jane: (No wonder that transfer station is churning out supplies for anti-corruption serum, they must be used for holing up inside Hollow Zero... Once they're out of danger, they can slip out of the fissure and escape.)
Jane: ...Impressive. That's a risky strategy that only a group as bold and talented as yourselves could pull off.
Razor's Right Hand: Don't be envious. You'll be joining our group of bold and talented people soon enough... but you have to prove yourself!
The bodyguard suddenly shoves Jane from behind, forcing her to fall down from the platform on which they were standing.
Jane: Hey, what gives?!
Razor's Right Hand: The duel will be just up those stairs there. You can go up once you meet all the requirements.
Jane: Hang on, nobody said anything about a qualification round before the duel.
Razor's Right Hand: Becoming a bodyguard is the boss' way of acknowledging you... but we Mountain Lions need to see you prove yourself first. If you want a shot at the duel, then you'll have to make it there on your own. This is also one of our rules.
Jane: ...You call that a rule? It's just a way to wear me down before the fight!
Razor's Right Hand: Hmph, rules are rules. Plus, weren't you praying just now? This little trial should be a cinch for you.
Razor's Right Hand: Come on, newbie — we're looking forward to seeing how you do.

Two-Faced

Story "Two-Faced"

Video Summary: A desperate gamble on human morality. Will we meet our goal this time?
Story Description: After passing the Mountain Lions' trial, instead of a duel with Seth, Jane faces an ambush by Razor and his underlings. Razor, the sole authority in the Mountain Lion Gang, has orchestrated this ambush. The Mountain Lions intend to injure Jane to make sure she loses the duel.


After clearing the Mountain Lion gang's trial, Jane ascends the steps. Atop the platform, Razor's Mountain Lion bodyguards await — along with two other people...
Jane: Razor? What a great surprise. Are you here to congratulate me on passing the trial? I see you even brought that little Pubsec prince with you.
Seth: Jane! They... huh?!
Razor's Right Hand: Shut up, you Pubsec maggot!
Jane: Careful with the goods, he's going to be my trophy in a moment.
Jane: I want to defeat a real living Public Security officer... to have the gang cheering my name, and to feel the joy of stomping him into the ground... Don't spoil my fun.
Razor: ...
Razor: Jane Doe, the new cub of the Mountain Lions. You have completed the path of promotion and earned the recognition of the gang. You hereby qualify as my loyal and trusted bodyguard.
Jane: It's an honor, boss.
Razor: But there's one final step to take before you earn your official place in the duel.
Jane: Whatever you say, boss — but before that...
Razor's Right Hand: Huh?!
As she listens to Razor's orders, Jane suddenly turns around to dodge a bodyguard who was approaching her from behind with a weapon! Jane restrains her assailant, firmly pressing her dagger into his ribs.
Jane: Trying to ambush me, huh? Afraid I'm coming for your position? Guess you couldn't help being anxious... And you even dared to pull a cheap trick like that in front of the boss!
Razor's Right Hand: Ah! Ugh... I—I was just gonna... break one of your hands... that's all!
Jane: Haha? You really think I'm gonna forgive you just because you spill the beans so easily? Kindergarten ended 20 years ago, buddy. Go explain yourself to the boss!
Razor's Right Hand: *coughing* Hah... hahaha... I don't have to... explain anything... because...
Jane: Huh...?!
A sharp pain shoots from behind as an unexpectedly powerful impact sends Jane flying through the air.
Razor: Break one of her hands. That was my order.
Jane: Boss... Razor? You... why?!
Razor: Jane, I want you to lose to this Pubsec punk in the duel. Then I can go up there and kill him myself.
Razor: As long as you fight well enough, I'll arrange for someone to escort you to a hospital in New Eridu immediately after the duel. This is one of my rules for your promotion.
Jane: You're asking me to go up there and lose on purpose, and pretend it's real? What kind of stupid rule is that?
Without responding, Razor leaps forward and picks Jane up by the throat. As if already knowing what would happen next, the other lackeys back away with sinister smiles.
Jane: Ugh!
Razor: You're a cut above the rest, Jane. But you're always missing the point.
Razor: The rules of the fight, the rules of promotion, my rules... The point isn't the rules, it's that they're MINE!
Jane: ...Arg!
Razor: Me. Razor. I'm the only authority. I'm the only explanation... And I'm the only leader!
Razor: I am the Mountain Lion, and only I represent the Mountain Lions! I need bodyguards who can protect me and my reputation, not some stinking ambitious rat.
Razor: You've already defied me twice now in front of everyone, strutting your stuff around in MY gang. I've been lenient enough to not just get rid of you, so you'd better listen to my orders now. Understand?
Jane: *coughing*... Ha! Haha... so this whole circus... is just because... you're afraid of losing face and status?
Jane: I thought... you might have figured out my secret... *cough* But it turns out... a stopped clock is right twice a day...
Razor: Secret? What do you mean?
Jane: Haha... the same narrow-minded thinking and boring ambitions... All you're doing is... Fighting for power like stray cats on the street... How ridiculous!
Razor: You think you're all that, with your arrogant attitude... that's what I hate about you. But it doesn't matter, I've got loads of time.
Razor: So let me teach you a little something about my rules!

I Agree

Video Summary: A desperate gamble on human morality. Will we meet our goal this time?

Razor: You brat! What are you doing?
Seth: I... can't stand dishonesty...
Seth: I've heard enough, and I've taken enough...
Seth: You demand loyalty, but will sacrifice your companions on a whim for your own greed!
Seth: Jane, do you get it now? The filthy nature of these gangsters!
Seth: If you would've just agreed to my terms, we could've avoided all of this nonsense!
Jane: I agree to your terms
Seth: But you're just so obsessed with...
Seth: Hang on. What did you say?
Jane: I agree to your terms! Turning over a new leaf, changing for the better?
Jane: Okay, I agree
Seth: Er... huh?
Jane: I mean it! Just try pulling on the cuffs with both hands
Seth: It's no use, the muscle relaxants have...
Seth: Huh? They broke? My strength is back — but how?
Jane: You sweat more being agitated, and you drank a lot of water, right?
Seth: I don't want to talk about the bathroom Jane!
Jane: Urination plus sweating speeds metabolism enough to almost completely process the medicine
Seth: So that's why you made me drink all that—
Razor: Enough!!!
Razor: Jane, now you betray me?
Jane: Well, you heard him. I'm tired of the drama.
Jane: I'm done, and I can let myself out. I've already got the key...
Razor: My card?! ...You swiped it when you were getting beaten up?
Razor: Fine... even better... I'll just kill the traitor then. It'll boost my rep all the same
Razor: I'll show you how much weight... the "Mountain Lions" name carries!

A Mouse's Home

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "A Rat's Home"

Video Summary: The number four rule of undercover work: Even if you have a thousand disguises with a thousand faces, don't forget your righteous heart.
Story Description: The operation concluded successfully. The Criminal Investigation team receives a reward. Seth finally learns Jane's true identity. Jane then returns to the video store to return the rented videotape.


Several days later, outside a meeting room at the Lumina Square precinct of N.E.P.S.
Qingyi: *yawn*~
Seth: Wait, you yawn at work too, Qingyi? Aren't you an Automaton?
Qingyi: Yes, but that's irrelevant. Exhaustion is a state of mind, not the body. Or to put it another way, yawning is like the soul burping from eating too much boredom.
Qingyi: Plus yawns are contagious.
Seth: No way! There's no way I'll yawn before the captain gets out of the commendation meeting... *yawn*~
Seth: Aw, dang it!
Qingyi: Hehe, you should listen to your elders. Anyway, I'm bored right now so could you do that thing again, Seth?
Seth: What? No... I don't want to!
Qingyi: Don't be shy. Here, I'll help you start. *ahem*
Qingyi: "Captain! Please listen to me! I'm with a Mountain Lion bodyguard called Jane. I'm supposed to arrest her, but I've persuaded her to turn over a new leaf!"
Qingyi: "I'll bet my reputation that she can change! Captain, please trust me!"
Seth: C'mon, Qingyi... enough already!
Qingyi: And then Zhu Yuan replies...
Zhu Yuan: "Seth, let me introduce you. This is Jane Doe, a criminal behavioral expert who has been working with us for a long time now. She's part of the operation as an informant... I'm sorry that the situation was a bit complicated this time. I'll tell you more details later."
Seth: Captain?! Is the meeting over? How can you remember everything so perfectly...
Zhu Yuan: Haha, how could I forget, especially with your funny expression at the time, Seth. But don't be upset. It's thanks to you and Jane that we could finally wrap up this whole operation — you can be happy about that.
Qingyi: Speaking of which, what about Jane? Why isn't she here for the secret commendation?
Zhu Yuan: Apparently there's a new case that requires her as a consultant and she's already set out to make preparations. She said she needed to go repay a favor first.
Meanwhile, at the Random Play video store on Sixth Street, Janus Quarter.
Wise: Still crooked?
Belle: Mmm... I think a little to the left? No no, try a little to the right.
Wise: ...Belle, we've been over this three times already. Just give me an accurate answer so I can hang up this business license... And if you can't tell, then ask Fairy to help you.
Belle: C'mon, bro... How could you say that? I'm totally serious and watching you hang it, aren't I?
Wise: Fine, so is it still crooked now or...?
Belle: Mmm... a little more to the left? Ah, a little to the right... What a hassle~
Jane: A real hassle, huh~? But the smile on your face is lighting up the room!
Belle: Huh?! You're... you're the rat Thiren who rented "The Port Peak" last time!
Jane: Hehe, glad you remember me. Am I interrupting something important here?
Belle: Not at all, I was just getting back at my brother for always making me eat noodles whenever we go out shopping, hehe~
Jane: Haha, so that's how it is. You can come down now, mister Manager. It's hanging perfectly straight now, you got it.
Wise: *sigh*... My hands are sore now... Thanks for rescuing me there. Are you here to return the video tape?
Jane: That's right. I brought back your copy of "The Port Peak." Here ya go.
Wise: Got it, hmm... The tape doesn't seem damaged at all... great, I'll just get your deposit back for you, one second.
Belle: So how was it? Is your friend hooked on it now?
Jane: Huh? My friend? Who do you mean...?
Belle: Eh? Last time, didn't you say that you were renting it out for a friend? You said that he pretends to be brave but is actually a wimp... just like my bro here!
Wise: I can hear you, y'know!
Jane: Ah, right~ I guess I did say that. Sorry, my memory isn't the best. I even forgot what my friend said about the movie.
Jane: To compensate, let me register for your highest tier membership and I'll buy your highest value gift card. Plus, I'll be sure to recommend your store to all my friends — okay?
Belle: Oh...! No, no worries at all! I'm always the one who forgets things! But let me get that membership card for you right now!
Wise: Thanks for your patronage! Your gift card is ready. May I ask your name for the account?
Jane: You can call me... Jane.
