(SiblingSibling): As I was saying...
(SiblingSibling): First is the video store. This month's revenue is about the same as before, so no change there.
(SiblingSibling): What's changed is our Proxy work. It's hard to find well-paid commissions with our low Inter-Knot level right now. Our income this month is less than one-third of what we used to make.
Fairy: Reminder. Since I filtered the highest-paying commissions available, your income has increased by 32.21%, exceeding 47% of all Inter-Knot users.

(SiblingSibling): The client may have some ulterior motive, and there's been a lot of (‍fraudfraud / scammersscammers‍) on Inter-Knot recently.
Icon Dialogue Talk Wish there was a way to find out who this client is.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I wish there was (‍aa / somesome‍) way to find out who the client is. But Inter-Knot is anonymous, user info is highly classified. I don't think it's possible.
Fairy: Negative. The assigned commission may contain hidden identity-related info.
(SiblingSibling): Hidden info? What do you mean by that?
Fairy: The account was created one day before the commission was published. Its user avatar is a low-resolution ground photo with no clear subject. The same image could not be retrieved from the internet so should be presumed to have been taken by the user.
Fairy: According to data analysis of the city's street view and terrain materials, this photo was taken at the verge of the Janus Quarter, which is currently part of the construction site for the old capital metro renovation project.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Huh, really? Wait, lemme think... After we exposed what Vision was up to, another round of bidding was held for the project.

Icon Dialogue Talk Can it be...?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Ordinary citizens shouldn't be anywhere near the construction site... Could the commission be posted by someone from Belobog?
Fairy: Master, a TV channel is currently broadcasting a show with a Belobog staff member as a guest.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Well, that's convenient! Let's take a look!Well, that's convenient! Let's take a look! / How timely. Let's have a watch then.How timely. Let's have a watch then.‍)

Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 008
Host: So, Anton, let's announce today's topic together!
Host: "A comparison of the metro reconstruction proposals of Belobog Heavy Industries and Vision Corporation."
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 009
Anton: Wait? What? That must be a mistake. How are children supposed to understand such a complicated topic?
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 010
Smart Kid: In my opinion, as far as the reconstruction plans go, I think Belobog Industries' is better!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 011
Smart Kid: You see, Belobog's biggest advantage is its technology.
Smart Kid: They have independently developed heavy-duty smart construction machines for in-Hollow use that can effectively resist Ether Corruption and work safely in the Hollow.
Smart Kid: Thanks to this, Belobog is able to effectively use the old metro infrastructure in the Hollow without explosives or demolition.
Smart Kid: Compared to Vision, Belobog's plan reduces the actual cost by 21%, environmental impact by 53%, and increases infrastructure usage by 75%.
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 012
Anton: Uh... Oh!!! You're like, a real expert!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 013
Kid 1: Wow, Belobog's awesome!
Kid 2: It does sound superior!
Kid 3: I thought so from the start!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 014
Leon: Is Belobog's plan really better? Hmm, that's hard to say, roar~
Leon: The pros and cons of the proposal depend on who it's for.—Passengers want a brand-new, safe metro system!
Leon: Not some half-hearted refurbishment, roar~
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 015
Host: Leon? When did you sit down with the kids? Get back to the host table!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 016
Leon: Using the old infrastructure may seem like a more economical and environmentally friendly solution, but it is also more time-consuming.
Leon: And who knows whether Belobog's machinery can actually work in the Hollow, roar~
Leon: In my opinion, this is just a makeshift plan to cover their financial shortage.
Leon: Vision's demolition plan was better and safer.
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 017
Kid 1: Wow, Vision is awesome!
Kid 2: It does sound superior!
Kid 3: I thought so from the start!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 018
Anton: That's exactly what you said a second ago...
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 019
Smart Kid: You want to talk about safety? Vision is a corrupt company that wanted to hurt civilians to cut costs!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 020
Leon: Hehe... So Vision is the villain... But is Belobog really the hero?
Leon: You don't know, do you kid? There was a serious scandal at Belobog a few years ago.
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 021
Swish!
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 022
Anton: Hey, what's that supposed to mean!
Leon: Calm down Mr. Anton. Don't startle the children, roar~
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 023
Anton: Enough with the act...
Chapter 2 Not So Shining Debut Comic Book 024
Anton: Let's see your real face under that mask!

Smart Kid: Wh—What...
Anton: You're actually a lion?!
Leon: Hahahha, Anton, I've never pretended to be something I'm not.

Leon: Unlike somebody, who is the president of an emerging construction company on the surface...
Leon: But behind the scenes, they're running away with the money!

Anton: Phaethon, I know it's not common practice to ask to meet in person, but like I said in my message, it's life and death for the company, and because of how serious a matter this is, we can't reveal our identity to outsiders.
Anton: So we thought it'd be best to meet up in person. This way we can ensure things stay confidential on both ends. I hope you understand!
Icon Dialogue Talk I see.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I see... That makes sense.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): But before we get to the commission, tell us how you knew our anonymous Inter-Knot account was actually ours?
Anton: Hahaha, sorry I can't reveal that...
Anton: But our source of information assured us the account was run by the famous Proxy Phaethon, and that you were a top-notch Proxy with outstanding ability and ethics.
