Prologue: Intermission
Hello. Independent intelligence broker: Shepherd, at your service.

Operator
...
Hahaha, you really bought it?
If I kept speaking like that, could I have just swindled you out of your private info or credit card number?
You need to wise up to fraudsters, Phaethon my old friend
REPLYThat's not funny
Haha, it's worth it just to trick you at least once
How did you know it was me?
I'm your intelligence broker. I wouldn't be very good at my job if I didn't know what happened to my oldest client — the legendary Phaethon, now would I?
I'm just glad you guys told me about this alt account
That proves I'm still your favorite intelligence broker, right?
REPLYDon't forget to get us more commissions
Of course, why I have one right here
That's not true. Who are you?
So merciless... I'm really fond of you guys
Getting back on topic. I have a commission
It could be crucial for your comeback as a Proxy
Let's talk in person. I'll wait for you in the usual spot
Reputation Rank-Up Trial
It's me again, my old friend. Feeling happy today?
REPLYYeah, I'm quite happy, actually.
...You're in a good mood today? I'm not used to that...
If you've got a job for me just say so.
Etiquette! You young folks might not realize it, but there are certain unwritten rules between people...
Anyway, got some good news for you: You may participate in your first Reputation Rank-Up Trial.
Though it's not really your first trial, is it, former legendary Proxy?
REPLYWhat's this Reputation Rank-Up Trial all about?
...Are you messing with me? Or did you really forget?
It's a test to raise your Reputation on Inter-Knot! Your Inter-Knot Level meets the requirements, so now you can level up your reputation!
Well, it's about time.
As expected from Phaethon. Always so reliable.
Your Inter-Knot Level has been rising quickly lately. You must be preparing for your Reputation Rank-Up, right?
REPLYAren't you forgetting something?
What do you... Oh, the content of the trial? Just clearing out some Ethereals, the same as before.
Since you're here, tell me more about the trial.
More about the trial...? You really need me to explain? Just clearing out some Ethereals, the same as before.
It might be a bit trickier than the usual clean-up tasks though, of course.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on your account info, (Proxy)(Proxy). Swing by the coffee shop once you're done with your promotion, and we'll celebrate!
