Dialogue

(Upon starting the commission)
(Open [Character Intro] Yuzuha and [Character Intro] Alice Tutorials)
Pompous Man: Idiot! The job was simple, but you just had to get greedy and steal stuff!
Rough Man: B—But I figured no one was gonna miss that cash anyway...
Alice: This "job" you mentioned... would you mind explaining it to us in more detail?
Pompous Man: No way in hell! From now on, you won't get another word outta us!
Ukinami Yuzuha: Oh yeah...? Then get ready to cry like a baby. This is gonna sting.
