'A Food for Thought'. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
This book's got a real nice title, don't it? | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Think about it. A meal for your heart... That better be one hearty meal, don'tcha think? That's what they say here, anyway. | |
 ??? Interviewer |
So that's why you're... | |
??? Interviewer |
... having a whole meal in the library? | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Yup. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Wait, no. C'mon, you gotta be exact in your wording, or suffer confusion and misunderstandings. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
I'm having a 'snack'. | |
??? Interviewer |
... Riiiight... | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Look. This is a library. This is where you find various 'foods for thoughts', right? In other words, this place is full of 'foods'. Which is to say that this place is, in essence, pretty much one huge diner! | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
In conclusion, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a little snack in here! | |
??? Interviewer |
Yeah, okay. I think we can end the interview right here. Unlike your 'foods for thoughts', this interview is severely lacking in substance. | |
??? Interviewer |
I'll let the Madam Librarian know that I had a rather fruitful interview with you about the Dieci Association and its vast mega—diner with dishes from all over the City. How's that? | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Oh, come on! My bad, my bad!! I'll get serious. Just don't tell her any of that, 'kay? | |
??? Interviewer |
… Sigh. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Okay, so... You wanna know what the essence of the Dieci Association is? | |
??? Interviewer |
Yes. Well... I do know that it specializes in accumulation of 'knowledge'. | |
??? Interviewer |
But I do want to know what this Association means to you, Ms. Rodion. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Hm, what this Association means to me... | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
This place is like... home. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
I'm sure ya already know that the Dieci Association picks up and raises kids without parents or guardians, right? | |
??? Interviewer |
I am aware, yes. To the public, your Association is known as the 'Association of Charity'. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Well, that's how I ended up here~ Boy, that really was a long time ago. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Before that, I'd live off dirty stale bread from the streets... sleep under sheets made of clothes stripped off the back of my dead friend's body... Yeah, guess I had times like that. | |
??? Interviewer |
Ahem, khm... | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Oh, too dark for ya? | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Well, anyways. They picked me up and gave me a proper life. It is kinda annoying though that, as a member of this Association, I gotta study so dang hard. | |
??? Interviewer |
Well, you've made it to Section 4. That means you've been working hard, right? I doubt all you've been doing here was feeding yourself with 'foods for the gut'. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Haah~ I dunno, don't think I studied that hard~ I must be a natural genius, hehe~ | |
??? Interviewer |
…… | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
I gotta say though, studying isn't completely joyless. | |
 | ||
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Because... the more I know, the stronger I get. | |
??? Interviewer |
I've heard of that. Your strength is proportional to the amount of knowledge you've amassed... | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Fuhu. The undying truth of the universe itself has my back. Of course I'd have no trouble beating the crap outta those knuckleheads. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Some birdbrained idiots underestimate Dieci Fixers, ya know? When they hear us coming, they think they're about to fight some nerds. | |
??? Interviewer |
... So they look down on your Association. Doesn't that get irritating? | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Not at all! Actually, it... spices things up. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Every time they dare look down upon us, my stoles glow with power... and my fists smite their ruin upon the curbside. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
They're just perfect opportunities to show how wide the gap of knowledge is between us and those ignoramuses who don't know the true power of the Dieci Association. | |
Dieci Section 4 Rodion |
Don'tcha think? | |
