Chapter 11 - Chapter 11 - Proper Introduction 3

===[Sky Screen]===

Ishmael: Sigh... I can't believe you people. Aren't proper introductions the first step to fitting into society?

Ishmael: "Call me Ishmael, if you please."

[HEARSE // ISHMAEL, SINNER #8]

[You may be disheartened by the defective state of many of your Sinners, but do not worry; this Sinner is one of the few who can carry out most missions without much complaint. She is likely to make reasonable judgements, so it is a good idea to start conversations while looking her way if you're seeking sound advice. However, you mustn't forget: this Sinner has survived an absurd voyage in a far and wide body of water. Her patience may run deep, but once you take a wrong turn with her, it will be a difficult task to regain her trust.]

Ming Dynasty

"Executing any order without complaint, huh..." Lan Yu thought to himself.

The most important thing for an army is neither numbers nor tactics, but loyalty and obedience. Without these, even a million-strong army is just a loose pile of sand.

But how can a woman be a soldier? It must be related to the 'waters' mentioned on the Sky Screen.'Surviving' isn't exactly a pleasant term.

Three Kingdoms

"If possible, I'd really like to invite her to teach some naval experience," Cao Cao lamented.

When he first marched into Jingzhou, he thought it would be a hard-fought battle. However, Cai Mao directly persuaded Liu Cong, the Inspector of Jingzhou at the time, to surrender.

Moreover, the army under his name was not skilled in naval warfare, while Cai Mao commanded a highly experienced navy, so Cao Cao placed the naval training of his forces under his command.

In the end, he fell for a counter-espionage plot. Thinking Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had treasonous intentions, he ordered their execution. By the time he realized his mistake, Cai Mao had already become "Sacrificed Mao."

(This is how Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes it; in reality, he died of illness.)

Ishmael: "I heard you glued our bodies back together from pieces. I look forward to working with you."

She gave a polite bow before returning to her seat.

For someone who emphasized not being a misfit, she didn't feel like the most amicable sort.

Heathcliff: "Sorry to disappoint, 'cause I don't care too much for fitting in. Name's Heathcliff. Used to be a professional wrecker—for property and people alike."

[REVENGE // HEATHCLIFF, SINNER #7]

[This Sinner prefers to take action rather than wait for logic to dictate his course. His thoughts and feelings are blatantly visible in his demeanor, and he has no intention of hiding them; his brashness may cause headaches (or physical injury leading to a headache) in the process of forming a relationship. Please do note that this is not an indication of serious damage to the Sinner's thought process. If his fit of rage persists, please contact the human resources department. Once you realize that he is the type that tends to be simple-minded, you'll have an easier time handling him.]

Heathcliff: "Not under anyone's orders, mind you. I only did it to buggers that got on my nerves. So watch it, you. I'm deathly allergic to cocky gaffers who think they can boss me around."

Spring and Autumn Period

"It's the same situation as that Rodion, but with a difference," Confucius evaluated.

The former's personality is somewhat acceptable, but the latter is a purely reckless brute. One look tells you he has never received any etiquette training.

However, it's not incomprehensible. Perhaps he was born into a poor family; it's already quite an achievement to have grown up. What more can one expect?

Although he advocated for education without discrimination, when recruiting disciples, he still charged ten strips of dried meat as tuition. If you can't even provide ten strips of dried meat... you'd better find a way to feed yourself first.

I don't think I've done anything to give that impression yet.

Don Quixote: "'Tis my turn to speak, at long last! I am Don Quixote!"

At this moment, a blonde young girl appeared on the Sky Screen, holding a massive lance and covered in various stickers on her uniform. (Little Don is so cute.) (T/N: Agreed)

[SUEÑO IMPOSIBLE // DON QUIXOTE, SINNER #3]

[There is no Sinner that can outmatch this one's level of passion if we were to measure it. An avid aficionada of all things Fixer, she adorns herself with a variety of Fixer-related merchandise. They won't affect her performance in combat one way or another, so there is no need for you to restrict her from keeping her decorations. She is deeply immersed in the role of a righteous Fixer, hence the exaggerated mannerisms akin to those of an actor. (Has such a thing ever existed, really?) It's advised to play along with her for a smooth mission.]

Among the Common People.

Commoner A: "Why does this girl look so dim-witted?"

Commoner B: "Never mind that, look at the lance she's holding. It's huge!"

Commoner C: "I think I heard some scholar say something like... 'A daughter of the house has just grown up, her strength can pluck up hills and her spirit can overshadow the world.'" (T/N: This is a parody of Xiang Yu's famous line "Strength enough to uproot mountains, spirit enough to overshadow the world" (力拔山兮气盖世), changing it into a description of Don Quixote.)

Spring and Autumn Period

"Her eyes are bright as stars, but her soul is a sea of blood," Laozi muttered to himself as he sat on his green ox.
