[k] @Caesar I'm afraid I can't welcome you properly, given my position and all, but of course, that is but a mere formality. [k] @Caesar Mhmm, mhmm... Verbal agreements, you know?[sr]No evidence, no documentation... Just our word of honor. [k] @Caesar After all, is it documents that enable us[sr]to trust one another? Is it our job titles? [k] @Caesar Of course not. It is the impressions we[sr]impart by virtue of the life we lead. [k] @Caesar As such, in our case, there can be nothing BUT trust between us. At the very least, I can say with absolute confidence that I would trust you all with my life! [k] ?1:Wow, I had no idea you felt that way...! ?2:I don't know where this is coming from, but I'm touched! ?!

[k] @General Setsubun I have been warned about him! Many have told me that[sr]if I am not careful, he will eat me for breakfast! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Caesar No no, you've got me all wrong, my silver-haired maiden. They were merely warning you of my voracious appetite. [k] @Caesar The phrase may be foreign to you, but I assure[sr]you it is quite common in the modern parlance! [k] @Caesar Chaldea's food reserves only have so much to spare, you see, so I'm afraid big eaters like myself are often viewed with suspicion. It is sad, but a burden I must bear... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @General Setsubun Oh, you poor man. Please, forgive my rudeness. It's not much, but I have some leftover rice balls if you like... [k] ?1:Aaand this is how he gets you... ?! [charaFace B 3] @General Setsubun It is!? Oh my, I didn't realize I had fallen for it...![sr]Th-this is why I cannot trust those with silver tongues! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Caesar Now, now, I was just having a bit of fun.[sr]Let me be clear: what you see is what you get with me. [k] @Caesar I understand you may find it odd that a Heroic Spirit so harmless as I is here guarding this upper floor... [k] @Caesar ...but I assure you there is[sr]no great significance in it. [k] @Caesar Just look at my bright red coat.[sr]A Red Oni (ROMA Style), in the flesh! [k] @Caesar Yes, the only reason I am here is because[sr]I accepted an offer of employment... [k] @Caesar One that I did so readily,[sr]given that it aligned with my own interests. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @General Setsubun ...Interests? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_7 1.0] @Caesar Why, naturally...the fact that[sr]this entire tower belongs to me. [k] ?1:...Say what now? ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] @Caesar Were you all granted permission to enter my property?[sr]You weren't, were you? [k] @Caesar Then you are trespassing... Or, as they say in Master's country, you are breaking and entering. [k] @Caesar And that, I am afraid, is a felony offense, the penalty for which is a hefty fine or a rather lengthy prison sentence. [k] @Caesar High-powered attorney that I am, I would counsel you to pay the fine rather than submit to penal servitude. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Caesar Since you have been caught red-handed, I expect you to pay immediately, but I am nothing if not flexible. As such, I will accept payment in QP in lieu of cold hard cash. [k] ?1:You've got to be kidding me! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash I completely agree, Senpai. He's no attorney.[sr]This is just another one of his cons! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ?2:You're no attorney. You're a con man! ?! [charaFace C 0] @Caesar Oh no, I am indeed an attorney. I even have the certificate to prove it. Take a look.[se ade96] [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 15] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash (That's just a Roman scroll sealed with a[sr]laurel wreath!

[k] @Cleopatra When he said he'd show me how he could be the man of my dreams, I simply couldn't say no! [k] @Cleopatra And of course, it really is turning out[sr]to be everything I'd dreamed and more! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Caesar Indeed. As you can see, everything is in place. Every high-powered attorney needs a beautiful secretary, after all. [k] [charaFace C 3] @Caesar And well, as for the most beautiful woman I[sr]know...does she even need an introduction? [k] @Caesar Even I get bashful from time to time.[sr]Especially in front of the woman I love. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Cleopatra Ahh, he's even more handsome when he's bashful...! [k] @Cleopatra Seeing my darling Caesar live and in the flesh like this... Ooh, I feel like I'm about to lose my mind! [k] @Cleopatra I'm SO glad I asked Da Vinci to make this special contact lens spell that makes everyone I see look...much slimmer! [k] ?1:“Live and in the flesh,” huh. ?! [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Oh yeah, I DID make a spell like that, didn't I. It was such a transparent request that I completely forgot about it as soon as it was done. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @General Setsubun Just a moment. Back on the ground, Shuten-Douji explicitly told us to climb up this tower. [k] @General Setsubun Does that not mean we were, in fact,[sr]invited to these premises? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 2] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Caesar I, of course, have heard nothing of this! It would be one thing if you had evidence to support your claim, such as an audio recording, but of course[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Um, I'm pretty sure I've got that[sr]audio archived right here... [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Caesar Hah! As everyone knows, audio recordings are only hearsay, and so are not admissible. Phew. Bullet dodged. [k] @Caesar Now, getting back to the law... Why did I await you here on an upper floor, rather than one of the lower ones? [k] @Caesar Because this tower is akin to a high-rise apartment building, with each floor considered its own domicile. [k] @Caesar In order to reach this seventieth floor, you must have broken into all of the other domiciles. [k] @Caesar And as a high-powered attorney, I have, of course, drawn up contracts with all the other tenants allowing me to litigate on their behalf. [k] @Caesar As you can see, I've even taken the liberty of[sr]preparing their damage reports ahead of time! [k] [charaFace C 2] @Caesar Which is to say, you must now render unto me a trespassing penalty fine for all seventy floors! [k] @Caesar Hahaha! Had I waited for you on the tenth floor,[sr]I would not have collected a seventh of that fine! [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Cleopatra How wonderfully crafty of you, my Caesar! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 15] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Just out of curiosity, why do you even need that much money? Not that this is anything new for you, admittedly. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Caesar A fair question. Essentially, I ran out of[sr]funds after one too many gourmet tours. [k] @Caesar Additionally, I frequently encountered beautiful women with no one else to turn to, so I would buy them a house and enjoy a single night of romance with them. [k] ?1:... ?2:I don't think we can talk our way out of this one...! ?! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @General Setsubun I agree. This man is clearly trying to[sr]talk us out of every valuable we possess. [k] @General Setsubun That is the work of an oni if ever I saw one. We have no choice but to defeat him if we are to proceed. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 1.5] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Cleopatra What do you mean, work of an oni?[sr]The ethical concerns aside, his logic is ironclad! [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_3 0.1] @Cleopatra If you mean to come at us with those scrawny twigs you call arms, then I shall face you myself! [k] [charaFace D 4] @Cleopatra By the way, Master, are you feeling all right? You look so much thinner since I last saw you. Have you been eating properly? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Whoops, looks like someone went and forgot the spell she cast on herself...
