| Shanghai had gone out of control against her will due to her seizures, and Austerlitz's quick thinking managed to calm her down. | ||
| We then waited for Shanghai to recover from her exhaustion before we all decided to discuss the situation again. | ||
 Beijing |
"In the meantime Conductor, were you all right?" | |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor |
Uh, yeah. No problem here. What, just check on Shanghai. | |
| Beijing |
"You sounded rather uncouth." | |
| Conductor |
I-I think you must have misheard me. | |
 Tianjin |
"I heard it too. Right, bo-shi?" | |
| Beijing |
"By the way, Conductor, you seem to still be holding your chest since a while ago." | |
 Austerlitz |
"I see, so one of your nipples are relentlessly toyed with. And you couldn't get that out of your mind, so you're still fondling yourself like this..." | |
| Conductor |
OF COURSE NOT! It's just that the sensations are still lingering a bit... | |
| Conductor |
Rather, I want you to pick your words a little more wisely. | |
 Shanghai |
"Sorry Conductor. I can't control myself and licked just like that." | |
| Conductor |
I was just trying to restraining you, Shanghai, because you've jumped on me earlier. Don't worry about it. | |
| Shanghai |
"Sigh, I wonder if my symptoms will ever go away." | |
| Beijing |
"What are you being so wishy-washy about? You will be cured. We will cure you." | |
| Tianjin |
"Leave it to us, Shanghai, if we all work together, we can definitely cure you." | |
| Shanghai |
"But we can't find a cure and I'm causing a lot of trouble for everyone." | |
| Tianjin |
"That's not true, Shanghai. No one here thinks you're a nuisance." | |
| Austerlitz |
"Of course. We are always ready to be licked by you." | |
| Shanghai |
"That's why I've already told you I won't do it again!" | |
| Beijing |
"Then why do we suddenly start to smell like chocolate to her?" | |
| Austerlitz |
"As far as I've been able to decipher, it's the kind of pheromone that only people with said condition can sense, L'Austerlitz replies." | |
| Beijing |
"It's certainly a strong possibility under the circumstances, but isn't it strange that we suddenly start emanating this?" | |
| Austerlitz |
"What about the possibility where, as a result of hanging around with Mademoiselle Shanghai, that your bodies have gradually changed?" | |
| Beijing |
"It's an unknown symptom, so we certainly can't rule out that possibility." | |
| Austerlitz |
"There is also the possibility that where, myself excluded, Mademoiselle Shanghai reacted to the pheromones are spiked to things that you've all touched." | |
| Beijing |
"...I see, that possibility cannot be ruled out." | |
| Beijing |
"Shanghai, take a whiff of this book." | |
| Shanghai |
"This medical book? What do we know about smelling a book...?" | |
| Shanghai |
"I can smell chocolate..." | |
| Beijing |
"By the way, what about this collection of literature over here?" | |
| Shanghai |
"It just smells like old paper." | |
| Beijing |
"That confirms it. Pheromones were planted in the books - and only in the ones we would examine." | |
| Austerlitz |
"That seems to be the case. That would explain why she didn't react to just me." | |
| Shanghai |
"Wha-what do you mean? Are we being set up by someone else?" | |
| Beijing |
"Yeah. It must have been the suspicious pedlar who was selling chocolate. He predicted that we would search for Shanghai's cure and come to the Great Sage's library." | |
| Beijing |
"So to make your symptoms worse, he planted pheromones in advance in the books we would examine." | |
| Shanghai |
"W-what's the point?" | |
| Beijing |
"To keep us here forever, or to sell us the real cure at a higher price, or any number of other motives I can think of." | |
| Beijing |
"It was a close call, if Austerlitz hadn't been there, we would have all been in danger." | |
| Shanghai |
"Ugh, thank you Austerlitz~~" | |
| Austerlitz |
"No, I'm more glad that I could help. If you need anything else, I'm always here to help. If you want, I can let you lick me again this time." | |
| Shanghai |
"No, I don't want to do that either, okay?" | |
| Shanghai |
"Oh gosh, I can't wait to restore my body to where I don't have to worry about this..." | |
| Beijing |
"We'll have to work hard to find a cure for that... Hmm? Austerlitz, where are you going?" | |
| Austerlitz |
"I, for Mademoiselle Shanghai's condition, am going to have to do some research, so I'm going to have to go my separate way. I will join you later." | |
| Beijing |
"Got it. The archives are like a garden to you, wise sage. I look forward to working with you." | |
| Austerlitz |
"With a reputation like that, I must not disappoint you. Now, if you'll excuse me." | |
| Tianjin |
"Bo-shi, what should we do on our end then?" | |
| Beijing |
"If this is the library of the sage Austerlitz, then she must be able to find the book with the cure. So we should stop looking for the book for now." | |
| Beijing |
"And now that we don't have chocolate, we want to move towards controlling Shanghai's symptoms. So I'm going to concoct a chocolate-flavoured sweet medicine." | |
| Tianjin |
"By the way, when we first scouted, there was a room at the back of the storeroom where I could mix the potion." | |
| Shanghai |
"You can make sweet stuff? That's amazing Beijing!" | |
| Beijing |
"Right, let's hurry before Shanghai has another seizure." | |
| Tianjin led the way, taking everyone to the back of the libary. | ||
| At this point, none of us had noticed that someone was secretly watching us from the shadows. | ||
