Ishmael: "I'm amazed at your ability to bootlick with such passion so soon after calling them a "miserable thing.""
… I think I get it now.
Faust: "It seems I am the last. Faust is the name."
[WALPURGISNACHT // FAUST, SINNER #2]
[The Sinner who developed the engine of Mephistopheles, the bus operated by Limbus Company. She claims that there is no one in the City who could rival her library of knowledge and wisdom, and she isn't necessarily wrong. You might find her high and mighty attitude when she allows you to converse with her displeasing, but as seen with how she treats everyone with subtle gestures of arrogance, there is no hope of her parting with it, ever. We recommend simply nodding once and getting over it. Even though she has an unparalleled genius, we can't quite figure out how to use this one. Perhaps you could be the one to find out?]

Spring and Autumn Period
"So, the thing that drives that behemoth called a bus is called an engine. If that's true, then Ms. Faust is truly a genius," Lu Ban said in shock.
In his understanding, vehicles had to be pulled by livestock, and the existence of the bus completely subverted his cognition.
Germany, 19th century
"It looks like in that world, Mephisto has become Faust's creation," Goethe said.
"Although I don't know why she appears in a female form, the wisdom she possesses is on par with the Faust from my writings."

Faust: "A genius with whom you're lucky to cross paths even once in your life."
Dante: "
Faust: "Your reaction suggests that you're not convinced, Dante. Well, it's fine. You'll come to learn, all in due time."
Dante: "
Faust: "That Faust is indeed a rare and brilliant mind. When a proverbial tree falls, its impact on the ground is a given fact. The observer's failure to perceive it has nothing to do with the truth of the matter."
Dante: "

Among the Common People
Zhang San: "That's... really arrogant."
Li Si: "Tell me about it, claiming to be a genius from head to toe."
Wang Wu: "But it's undeniable, after all, she can create a vehicle that moves without livestock."

Vergilius: "That's enough greetings. Dante, let me explain your job scope."
Dante: "
[Finally getting to the point. The curiosity of the ancients suddenly lit up.]
[After watching for so long, they still didn't know what Dante actually does as the Executive Manager.]
Faust: "They're asking if you're about to explain the job description of a manager."
Come to think of it, the man with red eyes couldn't hear me, unlike the Sinners.
Vergilius: "That's correct, Executive Manager Dante. You will embark on a trip to the Inferno with the 12 Sinners who've just introduced themselves."

Among the Common People
Er Gou: "Hell? Why go there? To suffer?"
Gou Dan: "Exactly... although they are called Sinners, they don't look like evil people."
Western middle ages
In the manor, everyone from the lord down to the serfs was currently kneeling on the ground, praying frantically to God.
"Almighty God, please dispel the corruption from Satan."
The ticking monster with a strange head topped with flames, the man whose eyes glowed blood-red, and the inconceivable resurrections made those medieval Europeans certain that this was a trick of Satan.
Italy (Renaissance)
Dante Alighieri looked up at the Sky Screen, then looked down at the "Divine Comedy" in his hand, his expression like that of an old man looking at his phone on a subway.
The monster on the Sky Screen was also named Dante, and was being chased through a dark forest by three individuals named Wolf, Lion, and Leopard, finally being rescued by a man named Vergilius, and eventually having to go to Hell.
"..."
The story I wrote is being adapted and shown on the Sky Screen? And why does this adaptation feel so bizarre?
