Siegfried (before battle)
A figure approached us with terrifying force, reminiscent of a frenzied beast.
'Ey, what the… What's that thing running at us?
ETA is three seconds. Manager, your judgement?
<I… I dunno, I'm not sure what to…>
Vergilius was the only one who showed no surprise.
To be more clear, he was more displeased than unsurprised at this apparently expected arrival.
Ah, there you are. K Corp's superstar.
A jovial-looking man appeared amidst the chaos with an obnoxious laugh.
Greetings one and all! You are free to share stories of the heroic feats you are to witness here, but photographs and more will require permission from K Corp!
Alas, I must attend a magazine interview in half an hour, so I cannot overlinger. I pray you to understand!
Was wondering when you'd come.
I heard you became a wagie serving a Wing, Siegfried.
Ahaha! I see your tongue is as sharp as ever, dear fellow!
I rushed here at once in response to code purple, and methinks your friends were the perpetrators!
Not exactly friends. I hope you understand that I have nothing to do with the commotion.
In that case…
Yup, I'm counting on you to give them a spicy lesson.
What are you two muttering about? Don't bode well.
Agreed. From under what stone did he come out?
Hahahah! Well well, it appears that some of you come from faraway lands. Right then, I shall grant you all the privilege of photography for this special occasion!
He treats us like worshippers on the streets. How dare y -
OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
<Don Quixote, what's wrong?>
Th, tha, the, tha, th-tha, the, th, th, tha, that, TH, THE, HH, THAT MAN, HE, HIM, THE MAN HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're in a hurry, so get this done within one minute if possible. And keep that clockhead out of this.
Hmm… A prosthetic, is it? Right then, make it 50 seconds!!!
찰-칵!

Both a skilled fighter and talented performer, I could only watch in awe as he proved himself to be nothing short of a "hero".
Khgh!
Now, look here once more! I'm sure our fans will love it!
This blighter… is too damn strong.
Hm? What did you do just now? Hahahah! Well, isn't that cute!
Gah…!
One after another, he made short work of the Sinners.
Vergilius watched the carnage with a pleased expression.
<……>
About time they learned what happens if they kick up a ruckus in a Nest thinking they can get away with it.
…Dante, you may not remember it at the moment, but at one point you used to be something of a bigwig… so to speak.
<I… I was?>
I just couldn't picture it.
Right now, I'm just a powerless leader who fumbles in any emergency - constantly being chewed up, spat out, and ignored in the trash by my Sinners.
They've even started treating me as the team's field medic; to think that this miserable manager used to be the respected leader of many sometime in the past.
I felt a genuine desire to ask Faust for another way to recover my memories.
However, your memory loss does not wholly excuse all the faults in your performance as the manager. I'm certain you understand what I mean.
<……>
I thought of the staff at the K Corp. checkpoint.
They showed no pity for the family they were about to tear apart, treating it all as nothing more than part of the due procedure.
Although Don Quixote got us into trouble when she sprang forth to rectify injustice…
I just know it would've haunted my sleep for days if we turned a blind eye.
And seeing Heathcliff tighten the grip on his weapon to veins as he witnessed the disturbance…
If not Don Quixote, I feel at least one of us would have intervened.
Truth be told, I didn't do everything in my power to keep Don Quixote down. Vergilius isn't necessarily wrong when he says the blame rests on me for causing this.
<Taking back my head might not be for the best after all, Vergilius.>
Ah, dear… I've got to tell them to put a microphone next time.
…I'll take it that you've gotten my point.
Hurrah! 46.5 seconds! Another day, another heroic tale of justice written!!
Ah, looks like the curtains have closed. Time to rewind, Dante.
