Part 1~4 | 5~8 | 9~12 | 13~16 | 17~22 | 23~26

Part 5 - Jane

Terra (Nanase Riku): So this is a library... it's so wide.

Jane (Izumi Iori): May I help you?

Jane: Hm? ... Are you by chance, Terra?

Terra: Yes, I am! Are you Jane-san?

Jane: Yes. I am Jane.

Jane: I was told by Martin to help you when you arrive.

Terra: Please take care of me!

Jane: Please feel free to ask me anything about these books.

Terra: ...... Um, can I find out what my 'duty' is if I read books?

Jane: 'Duty'...? Aah, you mean 'role.'

Jane: I see. You can try reading this.

Jane: In this city, every robot has their own 'roles.'

Jane: Just as Martin is a postman, I am a librarian.

Jane: As you can see, there are various 'roles,'

Jane: Robots have to live according to their 'role' that has been given to them when they awaken.

Terra: I was told to recall what my 'duty' is by myself.

Jane: Recall by yourself? ... That's odd. Usually, you’re told when you awaken......

Jane: Anyway, this bookshelf is full of books about robots' 'roles.'

Jane: ...... Do you want to read these?

Terra: Yes!

Jane: The basics is in this book.

Terra: Err, what is it......

Terra: ...... There are ranks for the robots. Their 'roles' differ according to their ranks.

Jane: Basically, the robots are categorized by their ranks, there are high-rank and low-ranks.

Terra: I see. A postman is mid-rank. Librarian... high-rank. It's on top!

Terra: Jane-san, you're amazing!

Jane: Thank you very much.

Terra: Oh right, I wonder what rank the robot who gave me "Mary" is? His name is Dissen.

Jane: This is......

Jane: This is not a wild flower. It's a Marigold. These are very rare.

Terra: It is!

Jane: He gave you this?

Terra: Yes!

Jane: He is an important robot whose 'role' is to manage plants or animals.

Jane: He is a high-rank.

Terra: So Dissen-san is a great robot too!

Jane: The ranks are to differ our 'roles.' A high-rank doesn't mean we are great.

Terra: ...... Ah, what rank is Fabra-san? He's the robot who woke me up...!

Jane: A robot who winds other robots are high-rank.

Jane: What's more, he is above all of the other robots there.

Jane: ...........

Terra: Is there anything wrong?

Jane: ...... No. It's nothing.

Jane: It's already time to close the library so please come again tomorrow.

Terra: I understand! Thank you for today!

Jane: Be careful on your way and don't get lost, okay?

Jane: ...... There are only a few robots that's directly woken up by Fabra.

Jane: Why did he awaken today...? The fact that he wasn’t told his 'role' bothers me.

Jane: Who on earth is he...?

Part 6 - Pain

Terra: Jane-saan!

Jane: Aah, good morning Terra.

Terra: Good morning.

Jane: What do you want to read today?

Jane: You have finished every book about 'roles' these days.

Terra: I get that there are various 'roles' for robots......

Terra: But I still don't know what I am supposed to do.

Terra: At home, I try to recall what it is.

Terra: But when I do that, my head starts hurting......

Jane: What did you say...!?

Jane: Since when? How much does it hurt?

Terra: Um......

Terra: Since I started reading books about robots, so it started 3 days ago.

Terra: Other robots were awakened a long time ago, but why did I wake up only now?

Terra: And when I wonder what kind of place the clock tower is... Ow!

Jane: Terra! Are you alright!?

Terra: ...... Yes, I'm… fine now.

Jane: Please don't force yourself.

Terra: Thank you very much......

Jane: Robots don’t feel pain unless they have a 'bug' in them......

Jane: In some cases, if they get repaired, they could lose their memories from when they woke up. Fortunately, he just woke up some days ago......

Jane: There might be a bug somewhere. If the pain doesn't stop you should go to a robot whose 'role' is to repair things.

Terra: I understand! If it hurts again, I'll do just that!

Part 7 - Jeune

Martin (Izumi Mitsuki): Looks like Terra is visiting the library every day.

Martin: I hope he can recall what his 'role' is.

〜〜♪

Martin: ! That guy, there he goes again――

Martin: Jeune!

Jeune (Rokuya Nagi): ............

Martin: Jeune! Stop it!

Jeune: ...... I’m at a nice part, so please don't bother me.

Martin: The passers-by are troubled! Play other songs!

Jeune: I like this song.

Jeune: When I play this song, everyone is terrified and cries. It is wonderful!

Jeune: Please show me your tears.

Jeune: Playing music that will make you cry, scream and be overcome by fear is my goal for the time being.

Martin: What are you doing, making that as your goal...!?

Martin: Why does he always play music that scares the other robots?

Martin: His technique is great, and yet......

Martin: This is weird, I should have put it in my pocket.

Martin: Where did the key to my bag go? I still haven't delivered half of the packages......

Martin: Oh well... I should look for it around the streets I already passed by!

Martin: Uum... Not here.

〜〜〜♪

Martin: I can't find it anywhere......

Jeune: You, are you looking for this?

Martin: Ah! That key!

Martin: Thank god, I've been looking for it this whole time!

Martin: You found it? Thanks!

Jeune: So it's yours after all.

Jeune: ...... Then, to repay what I did for you, will you listen to my song?

Martin: Huh? Listen to your play? If I can repay you with just that then it's fine.

Jeune: You can.

Martin: O, Okay. Got it.

〜〜〜♪

Martin: Stop, stop!

Jeune: What is it? I’m still at the intro.

Martin: Your performance and technique are great, but why do you always play that disturbing song?

Jeune: You were in tears before, but you are angry now. What a busy person.

Jeune: Do you prefer an exciting and kind song?

Martin: Well, I do.

Jeune: Is that so.

Jeune: I will play it when I feel like it someday......

Martin: What a strange guy......

Martin: I call out to him every time I see him in this city, but this guy really only plays scary songs, huh.

〜♪〜♪

Martin: Shouldn't our 'roles' be useful for something?

Martin: And Terra, he doesn't even know what his 'role' is yet. They're so strange......

Part 8 – The Rumored Restaurant

Terra: Jane-san, good afternoon―!

Jane: Good afternoon Terra.

Terra: I visited a restaurant near my house before coming here today.

Jane: Now I see why you were later than usual.

Terra: I talked to the chef and a customer there.

Terra: Most of that restaurant’s menu was delicious, but it was weird!

Terra: I asked for the chef's recommendation, but it tasted so bad that the customer and I almost fainted!

Jane: Is that really okay? What's the name of the restaurant?

Terra: It's "Capsaicin" restaurant!

Jane: ...... Aah, I have heard a rumor about that restaurant before.

Terra: The chef is Meir-san and the customer is April-san.

Terra: April-san tastes tests Meir-san's cooking and gives him advice.

Jane: Huh, is it that April?

Terra: Jane-san, do you know April-san?

Jane: April is a driver of various vehicles so I meet him when I need a vehicle.

Jane: He looks like an idler, but he gives cooking advice, huh?

Terra: He said that when he ate his favorite pudding on the streets, Meir-san called out to him.

Terra: "I'd like you to taste my cooking," he said. April-san likes delicious food so he delightedly accepted the offer, but his cooking was so bad.

Terra: "My tongue is at its limit, so help me," he said to me.

Terra: Jane-san, would you like to go eat there with me?

Jane: After hearing that story, it's like you're just asking me to eat something bad......

Terra: Other than the chef's recommendation, the other foods are delicious!

Jane: ...... Well, I can go sometime.

Terra: Yay―! Let's go together!
