Alright, I'll schedule the training, organize a tournament, and manage the burdenbeasts. You handle all the talking and writing here. I got it wrong? But I thought I gave you the easiest tasks?

Check out this knife. It just cut through tough bones, yet its edge hasn't dulled a bit, and its patterns remain intact. What a beauty, isn't it? What? Why are you backing away? It's not like I'm going to wipe the blood on your clothes. This is just from the Leporibeasts I slaughtered on the deck. Come tonight, and I'll treat you all to a nice meal.

Yep, this is the toxin you're developing. I simply borrowed it for a look. It's true that I couldn't pick the laboratory's lock, so when I saw the door open during the day, I pasted a 'Do not lock the door' notice inside. Wait... that face of yours... You knew it already? But I was so careful...

I've sat on a mountain of gold coins before. One lord ameer coveted the treasury of another, so we did the job for him. He paid us the full amount as promised—not a single coin less, and, all in gilded metal. A cheat? On his turf, he gets to say what counts as a gold coin. But once we're outside his city? Then it's up to me.

Even your 'high-grade hair dye' isn't working on me? I guess we'd better find someone else for our infiltration mission. I don't get it, people always talk about 'bloodlines', but I bleed the same red as everyone else. It only made my hair EXTRA red..

I just have to watch the sky and I'll know where to go. Like, stay clear of hungry beasts when the southern wind blows. Ship all the wood downstream before a flood hits. Plus, I know no one will transport any ancient paintings during a heatwave. But prayer vessels can be seen all over the ground in a long dry spell. Now I follow you chasing Catastrophes. As for the future, I might gather up a gang and go after the sun.

I'm pretty good at handicrafts. We have a saying: 'A dead beast has a hundred uses, worthy of a living person to master a hundred skills.' So don't be shy. Just sit here, be good. Wait for me to braid your hood drawstring and thread beads onto it, alright? I'm sure the patterns are going be great.

There were some commanders I admired. They are good with tactics, but they always scare their minions and cause trouble for me. You're different, and I like that. But since Amiya is the real boss here and not you, you'll probably get your name known by half of Sargon, while I'll be known by the whole, for sure.

My kin, friends, and my men are all scattered, like the stars in the sky. Have you ever tried stargazing? The fun thing is, wherever we look up, we all see the same night sky with the same stars... Hehe, sometimes I wonder what would it look like, if all the stars gathered together...? Huh? What do you mean by 'a big bang'?

They all say you're a workaholic, but it's not as if you're always awake... Hmm… or these work just isn't exciting enough for you to stay up all night?

Thanks a lot for the free ride. If I, Narantuya Kapudan were to die on my Khaganquest, what a loss it would be for Sargon… You have never heard of me? Doesn't matter, one day, everyone will know who I am.

This recording system seems very useful! If I had one of my own... No... forget it. It's too expensive. Better to just draw my battle plans in the sand.

Rank, title, trust level, all good stuff. But what I want the most is for you to lend me a few of your people. As for when I'll give them back—We'll see when they want to come back.

Delivery today, rescue tomorrow. We've accomplished so much together. But hey, let me get this straight—sometimes I'll look at the sky to decide where to go next, so when I do have to leave one day… Ahem, you'd better not miss me too much.

Raise your whips, swirl the sand, shade the sun. Then take whatever you want.

Just give me the target and enough hands.

Sun's perfectly positioned. Let's head to the ambush point.

The only sound they will hear is my blade slicing through wind, not my footsteps.

I've got an idea…

Relax, I'll always help you out.

Toxins and traps are my tactics.

Illusion and intimidation are my tactcis too.

What do you fear most?

Bam! I've swallowed up the sun!

What, you think you're a better robber than ME?

Enough dreaming. Only nightmares come with me.

I'm scaring some of our own men? Alright, give me some time to stroll around the battlefield. Need to cool off my blood.

You're reliable, the people around you are reliable. Man, how can everybody here be so reliable? I'm starting to envy the captain of this landship…

You know, sometimes we'll toss our gold coins into a stream, and pray we find them in times of need.

You don't look so good...? Wasn't that just an early test? Every plan has to be tested, adjusted, and you repeat that until it's good to go. That's my secret to a foolproof success.

This bed is so soft, and the air conditioning is so perfect! But I have one tiny question... do I have to pay for the lodging?

Haha! I like you too!

What a shame. If you had a blade of your own, I could sharpen it for you now.

Arknights.

Come, let's dance! Festive music's always nice to groove to! Relax, I'll lead, you just stomp to the rhythm, and slap your own—I'm hitting your hand? I've had a bit too much? I mean... All the drinks are free here, you know!

So, Doctor. Had a good dream? Tell me about our next objective, even if it's from your dream.

People often call me greedy, but you guys are the same, no? You fight for the best outcome, same as I fight for the best treasures. Even if we turn up more losses than wins, even if what we hold slips away like sand... Hehe, well, no wonder I like you so much.
