Alright, chop chop. Finish your work during your coffee break so the rest of your day is all coffee break!

It's a holiday, so of course I gotta dress a little more casual. I may not have taken as many field missions these past few years, but I still passed the L.G.D.'s physical exams, in high heels.

If Rhodes Island's looking for business partners, you can definitely trust these companies. Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just genuinely listing off my recommendations. You're making it look like I'm plotting a hostile takeover of Rhodes Island. If I'm actually planning an M&A... I just need to talk you round, right?

Ahem... I've taken a glance at our recent mission records. Looks like Rhodes Island's tactics have got more professional over the past few years. Not bad, not bad... Excuse me?! What's wrong with your former training consultant checking your operators' records? I absolutely have not been looking at Ch'en's files!

It's not really a big deal, being L.G.D. chief. I've got a little more on my shoulders, a little more to worry about, and I can put myself in Ch'en's shoes a little more now... Oh, let me reiterate: I'm taking over the L.G.D., not taking over for Ch'en! If that stupid Lung came back right now, she'd have to call me 'Chief.'

I may have left my family's company, but I still deal in business every now and then. It's a way to build Lungmen, so there's no need to avoid the subject. And now that I've figured out what I need to do, I don't find my grandfather so scary anymore. Hmhm, Once you've made use of your fears, that's when you've truly conquered them, right?

The new Siesta's an interesting place. Even without its beaches and volcano, it's still worth a visit for its sky pools and natural springs. My investment there has resulted in pretty decent returns too. Doctor, if you find the time, you should go and see for yourself. Heading back to a place you haven't been in a while... might be just like a reunion with an old friend.

Things are looking up for the trading company I'm running with Bison. Transporting one country's goods to another, sharing the cultures of places afar, these are the charms of commerce. Many are afraid of breaking barriers, but, Doctor, I'm sure we can find common ground.

Is this the last document you have? Alright! You really kept me waiting this time, but finally, time for supper! I know this new place that's not so bad. It's on me tonigh—Oh, You don't want me spending money? Umm... alright, then it's on you. I know some other places.

Rawr... Ahem... You finished your work?

Long time no see, Doctor. Ahem, let me introduce myself again. Beatrix Schwire, soon-to-be Chief Commissioner of the Lungmen Guard Department—I really am the chief! Whoever said the L.G.D. chief can't take holidays?!

It's been a while, but that's quite the improvement—Excuse me!? Why must you emphasize that this happened when I wasn't working here as an instructor?

Exceptional talents earn exceptional rewards. That's how things should be.

Alright, alright. I get that you can't do without me anymore. No sense beating around the bush like that. If you need my help, just say the word. I'll always be here for you, as your friend.

Really? Not making me captain?

Just follow my command and it'll all be fine.

Let's try to take up as little of our holiday time as possible.

I don't really want my holiday mood ruined, so hurry up and stop resisting arrest.

I haven't taken orders in a long time… feels kinda weird.

Follow your orders…? Fine.

Wait for my orders.

Start the operation.

The moment you break the law, your back's against the wall.

Where are you trying to run?

Be good, be cuffed, I'll hear your motive after taking you in.

Freeze! Hands in the air!

That's all the men and wares accounted for. Let's call it a day here.

Don't get cocky. This is just barely a pass mark by L.G.D. standards, but if you manage to keep this up, I guess I could still commend you.

If you can take care of something in one go, it's best not to do it twice. Keep your costs under control.

Let's wrap it up here. I'll take care of the mission report.

This place hasn't been redecorated even once this whole time? You serious?

Doctor, do you know the consequences for attacking a cop in Lungmen? Don't worry. I'm just teaching you about the laws there.

Oh, you like this fashion brand? I can pick out an outfit for you.

Arknights.

Happy New Year! Perfect timing. Come carry these things for me. I've got gifts for all my friends here in Rhodes Island—Oh! Be careful with that! Pure gold's very heavy!

Good morning... Hm? Just saying hello. What were you expecting? Rawr?

The relationships you build on the battlefield are not something you can fake. Hoshiguma seems pretty concerned about your relationship with the L.G.D., but I know why she's beating around the bush. Hehe, next time, I'll drag her to Rhodes Island to join the parties.
