Ryoshu: "Shūre's nice to meet ya. ... Pfft."
At what point was I supposed to laugh?
Meursault: "Meursault. Please refer to me as such."
[SOLEIL // MEURSAULT, SINNER #5]
[Wants clear and concise commands, requiring no judgement on his part.]
Dante: "

Tang Dynasty
"This... introduction is short enough," Emperor Taizong of Tang remarked sarcastically.
"Not only did he not appear in the previous battle scene, but he didn't show his face when resurrected either; it was as though he had no presence at all."
Spring and Autumn Period
"He has no emotional fluctuations; he is as cold as a stone," Mencius commented.
"However, it's clear this is his nature, though such a temperament is hard to live with in today's world."
France (20th Century)
"Regardless of what happens, is he indifferent to everything around him?" Camus said calmly.
"Morality condemns you to death, while reason declares you innocent." (Although this line does not exist in the original work, I feel it is quite appropriate here.)
(In the original work, the reason Meursault was sentenced to death was not just because he shot the Arab, but also because he did not shed tears at his mother's funeral.)

Meursault: "This isn't anything special. I'm simply behaving normally."
Dante: "
Meursault: "Yes."
It felt as though something was gravely amiss with him, but I couldn't quite tell what.
Outis: "..."
The way she scanned me up and down was a little daunting.
Outis: "I..."
I felt almost compelled to bow to her, but she stopped me with a motion of her hand.
Outis: "Please, I would never make my manager stoop before me."
Outis: "My name is Outis. I would like to apologize for my rudeness earlier."
[ΟΥΤΙΣ // OUTIS, SINNER #12]
[This Sinner could serve as an excellent advisor depending on your capability. However, she also has a meddlesome tendency, so it is recommended to keep her satisfied with short replies of agreement. She is an expert when it comes to tactics and various pearls of wisdom about life, making her advice all the more valuable for your mission. In addition, she possesses a vast knowledge of workshop technologies; you could trust her with simple repairs of the bus. [NOTICE]: Unlike the other Sinners, accessing records pertaining to the past of this Sinner is not permitted. [WARNING]: Keep an eye on this Sinner and beware that she does not exercise her cunning intellect for purposes other than completing our company's mission.]

Han Dynasty
"An expert in multiple fields including tactics? Could this person named Outis in the sky be a general?" Wei Qing exclaimed.
"But how can a woman be a soldier? Yet, judging by her tone and choice of words, she must have commanded troops before."
"In that case, this person named Outis is truly impressive," Huo Qubing, who was nearby, exclaimed.
(In ancient times, those who led troops into battle generally held a military manual, while ordinary troops merely followed orders.)
Warring States Period
"As expected, I was not wrong," Bai Qi said.
"She reminds me of General Fu Hao from the Shang Dynasty."
Three Kingdoms
"Hmm... prohibited from reading her past; it seems that Outis is not simple either," Zhuge Liang mused from the side.
"Is she hiding her past to avoid something?"
Cao Wei Faction
"It seems this Outis is not entirely loyal either; to dare to keep her by one's side..." Cao Cao felt puzzled by this.
"If you suspect someone, don't use them; if you use them, don't suspect them. Some sayings hold truth."
Ionia (Late 8th Century BC)
"It seems the Cyclops and the gods still have not let Odysseus go," Homer said with a bitter smile.
When the Sky Screen first appeared, the people of the city-state knelt down one after another, shouting that this was a miracle from Zeus.
He was quite surprised that his blind eyes could now gaze upon the Sky Screen.
Especially the appearance of Outis, which completely shocked him.
(The original meaning of Outis is "nobody"; in the original work, it is the pseudonym used by Odysseus when facing the Cyclops.)

Dante: "
Outis: "Haha, oh, please. Your magnanimity humbles me."
Outis: "I knew at first glance that you had what it takes to lead us."
Dante: "
Outis: "While most humans cause noise and friction as a result of confrontation... some are able to reap mutual benefit from coming head-to-head."
Outis: "Just as one might seek out firm whetstones to best sharpen their blade. And my blade is yours to wield, Executive Manager. I shall serve you with unrivaled devotion."
Dante: "
I gave her an approving nod, even though I didn't get what she meant by her "rudeness."
Ishmael: "I'm amazed at your ability to bootlick with such passion so soon after calling them a "miserable thing.""

Qing Dynasty
"Hmph, now she knows who her master is and understands how to curry favor," Emperor Qianlong said disdainfully.
"The Emperor is right," a monk nearby echoed.
Laughable. Isn't his own current status also dependent on Emperor Qianlong? What does this Outis want to do? He knows that all too well.
Wasn't she simply trying to use Dante's authority to oppress others?

T/N:
For some reason, the mtl uses he/his for Outis, which is annoying. LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANYTHING!!!
