"CharacterArchiveContent.11012.2": "The performance at the noble etiquette curriculum graduation ceremony was the only time Firenze ever messed up. But it was also her favorite performance.\nBefore that, Firenze, already fluent in \"aristocratic bearing,\" had long won her teacher over.\nHer icy gaze and decisive tones swept past the teacher like an actuary running calculations.\nAlthough the final price was not entirely satisfactory, the teacher was ecstatic simply to be \"priced\" by a noble.\nNext, as long as Firenze could earn the approval of company elders at the graduation ceremony, the teacher's price would naturally rise as well.\nWhat the teacher failed to notice was that from that day on, Firenze never picked up the violin again.\n\nOn stage during the graduation ceremony, Firenze was not wearing the required formal dress or corset, nor was she holding a violin.\nDressed in a trench coat, she casually rested a cane across her shoulder, then lifted the bow in the posture of a performance.\n\"Firenze, what are you doing? Where is your violin?\"\nHer violin teacher's face twisted as she hissed low.\nFirenze smiled faintly. She set the bow lightly against the cane, and began her performance.\n\n\"Mr. Obicci, the mercenaries you asked for have been arranged. One hundred seasoned veterans will arrive tomorrow.\"\n\"Didn't expect you to be so efficient. This favor won't be easy to repay. You're ... a Feltro?\"\n\"I'm still continuing with my noble etiquette curriculum. I heard you'll also be attending the graduation ceremony?\"\n\"Hah! I get it. The tedious violin performance they ask for, right? Don't worry. Even if you saw wood on stage, I'll still give you high marks.\"\n\n\"I got your photos back from those Scarlet Sights Witches. Be more careful next time, dear Giovanni.\"\n\"Thank you so much. If photos of me dining with employees of the Grace Imperium had leaked, it would have been a real catastrophe.\"\n\"Then, the graduation ceremony?\"\n\"Of course, of course. My wife is on the judging panel. I'll speak to her.\"\n\n\"Firenze, you finally made it. What did Deepsea Finance say? If that loan can't be secured...\"\n\"I negotiated the interest down by half. The manager over there also needed to meet their lending quota.\"\n\"I... I don't even know how to thank you. You really are a lifesaver.\"\n\"No thanks necessary, Lady Virginia. Just doing my duty. Please remember to attend my graduation ceremony.\"\n\nSkill in performance is honed in everyday practice.\nThe same is true for putting a price tag on others.\nThe ceremony hall was silent. A bow and a cane could not possibly produce elegant music.\nYet the judges put on an air of focus, as though they were mesmerized by a beautiful melody.\nFirenze bowed gracefully. The judges responded with enthusiastic applause, and even the audience joined in clapping.\nTo those who did not understand what was happening, Firenze had probably staged some kind of avant-garde mime.\nShe was so elegant, and the noble judges were surely professionals; if one heard nothing, it must simply be a lack of appreciation.\nAbove all, everything nobles did was right. After today, cane sales in Philae City would probably be way up for a while.\n\nFirenze's teacher handed her the certificate of attendance. She casually slipped it into her pocket and walked out of the hall.\nIn her own way, she had completed her own valuing process. She had determined the price of everyone present, yet no one could see through her own.\nFirenze did not dislike the way this circle played its game, hypocritical as it may be.\nBecause no matter what the rules were, she would always master them and emerge victorious.",

Why would a well-dressed, wealthy person still fight with weapons?\nDorra can buy you anything. When fighting is required, all it takes is money.\n\nAnd yet, from a young age, Firenze dreamed of owning a sharp weapon.\nLook at the Trekkers who wander between cities, the knights who move through streets and alleys. They all have their own weapons and, therefore, are masters of their own fate.\nBut Firenze never managed to find a weapon completely to her liking.\nA dagger? She disliked sneaking around and assassinations.\nA whip? She didn't care for weapons that could not subdue an enemy in a single decisive strike.\nA cleaver? Too conspicuous, and far too heavy.\nIt was only much, much later that she found a cane at a secondhand market, perfectly balanced in length and weight.\n\"If you take a piece of wood like that home, won't your parents scold you?\" Nyx asked. She had come along with Firezen.\n\"They won't,\" Firenze replied. \"They'll just think I have good taste, and that I've finally reached the age where I know how to choose luxury goods.\"\nSmiling, Firenze pulled off the head of the cane. Just as she expected, the blade concealed within was hard and razor-sharp, gleaming with an immaculate, flawless light.\nShe liked this weapon, liked the threat and killing intent hidden beneath its beautiful exterior.\nShe thought that perhaps she should use this sword to cut through things far more unyielding. Such as tradition, order, and rules.\nOnly when the moon goes dark can the stars burst forth with dazzling brilliance.\nAnd she was like that star, waiting for the uncertain moment when it would finally be drawn from its sheath.\n\"I shall name this sword ...

"CharacterArchiveContent.11312.2": "Blood is always thicker than water, and you can never get away from your blood bound sister, especially a wonderful sister.\nEven as a young girl, Shimiao had understood this.\n\nAll of the family's attention was always on her elder sister. For a long time, even Shimiao did the same.\nShimiao's sister was the joy and pride of the family. A model student with a bright personality, She was the embodiment of perfection. Whenever people talked about her parents' daughter, they were always referring to the older one.\nShimiao looked up to her sister, too.\nShe was Shimiao's role model, the kind of person she wanted to be.\nShe wanted to be just as exceptional as her sister.\nA young Shimiao would follow her sister around, telling her about her dreams and goals.\n\nBut over time, Shimiao began to realize that her future wasn't what she had imagined it to be.\nHer sister was always ahead of her, always climbing higher and faster. Always a relentless pursuer, one day she suddenly realized that she couldn't keep up.\nHer hard-earned achievements seemed less impressive next to her sister's, and her efforts felt insignificant in comparison.\nEven though she was always at the top of her class, which was naturally to be expected, because her sister got there first. Anything less felt like falling short and letting her family down.\nThe path she once thought of as a way to catch up with her sister had somehow become a mountain impossible to climb.\nHer sister had become a source of pressure, a peak too high to climb.\n\nBut it wasn't her sister's fault. Deep in Shimiao's heart, she knew that.\nThe sisters were still very close, still could talk about everything and nothing.\nBut there were times, late at night when she was buried in schoolwork, when Shimiao would look out of the window. She would gaze at the moon and wonder what her sister had that she didn't.\n\n\"Well, the real problem lies with the people who keep comparing you two, doesn't it?\"\nOne afternoon, the so-called \"Boss\" looked at Shimiao with a puzzled expression.\n\"You're who you are, and your sister is herself. You're two completely different people. Not to mention you're amazing, too.\"\n\nOh... That is what it is!\nBlood had bound them together; they were alike in some ways, but they were never the same person.\nHer sister is herself, and Shimiao is supposed to be no-one but Shimiao.\nThe cloud in Shimiao's heart had been dispersed, leaving her with a sunny afternoon sky—a scene that she'd never seen before.",

"CharacterArchiveContent.11313.2": "Why would a storage box bear such a strange name?\nBy the time Shimiao was asked this question for the 103rd time, she no longer had the patience to explain.\nBut one day it suddenly occurred to her that ever since she had received the thing, she herself had never asked why it bore her name—\n\nIt began with a strange figure who showed up on the streets. She was short in stature, with head of flaming red hair that stood out in the crowd. She carried an enormous calligraphy brush on her back and wandered from block to block. It sounded like she was hawking protection charms of some sort.\nShimiao had seen this oddball twice during her routine patrols. Once she was in front of an Artifacts shop, arguing with the shopkeeper that her painting skills were genius level. Another time, she was sitting at a breakfast stall, asking the owner about a kind of bun that was both savory and sweet.\nHer voice was so loud that Shimiao could hear her every word even from the far end of the alley.\n\nThe third encounter was an accident.\nThe strange girl had set up a little table beneath a bridge, with a sheet of white paper scrawled on in ink brushstrokes laid out on top. She had her eyes closed as she muttered under her breath. Drawn by this unusual sight, Shimiao slowed down to look, and just then the girl opened her eyes, leapt up, and dashed straight toward her.\n\"It's you, Shimiao! I've been looking for you forever!!\"\n\"Eh ... me?\"\nBefore Shimiao could even react, the woman dug into her pack and pulled out a long, cloth-wrapped object. She shoved it into Shimiao's hands. Seeing that Shimiao was still bewildered, she pointed to herself: \"What's with that look? It's me, Chixia! Don't you remember? We used to play together when we were kids!\"\n\"Chixia? Ah...! You're that one from back then!\"\n\"Yes, yes! But I don't have time right now, we'll catch up next time! This is Shimiao's Miaovelous Sword! My Master told me to give it to you! I don't know for sure if you're the right Shimiao... But since the name matches, let's say you are!\"\nShe gave Shimiao no chance to speak. She just said it was a storage tool made by her Master, who had insisted it be given to the right person.\n\"Don't worry, everything my Master makes is great. It'll bring you luck! Bye!\"\nBefore Shimiao could even refuse, Chixia had already packed up and ran off. Shimiao stood there with the sword-shaped storage box in her arms, and by the time she thought to chase after her, the red-haired figure was long gone.\n\nThough it had been entrusted to her by a childhood playmate, Shimiao had no idea what it was for at first.\nA month later, when a palm-sized cockroach appeared in her office, she instinctively grabbed the storage box and flung it at the terrifying creature. The box landed right on it. In that instant, she became convinced—\nShimiao's Miaovelous Sword really did bring her good luck.",

"CharacterArchiveContent.11411.2": "No one could pinpoint exactly when it started, but Chaton was rarely seen without a pair of headphones hanging around her neck.\nHer playlist was a complete mystery, but her pre-mission ritual wasn't: the moment she set up for a sniper shot, those headphones went on.\nThen, keeping time with the beat, she would squeeze the trigger—one rhythmic shot after another.\n\nDeep in the historic district of Mirage, a dusty warehouse held stacks of wooden crates stamped with the White Cat Troupe's crest. Tucked away inside those boxes was the troupe's entire history.\nBeside the crates lay a few threadbare wool blankets. For a very long time, this was where the troupe's \"reserve members\" actually lived.\nBut being cooped up in a dusty warehouse as a mere trainee bored the newly recruited Chaton out of her mind.\nSo, doing exactly what any curious kid her age would do, she started digging through the crates.\nEventually, at the very bottom of a box labeled \"Musical Artifacts,\" she unearthed a strange little gadget.\nIt looked like a game controller, but it lacked the classic cross-shaped D-pad she'd seen on the ones the older members used.\n\nCuriosity got the better of her, and she started fiddling with it. She quickly figured out that each colored button produced a different note, while the device played a backing melody. If she hit the right button at the exact right moment, it let out an incredibly crisp, satisfying chime.\nChaton stared at the toy, deep in thought, until a sudden realization hit her.\n\"Isn't this just like shooting?\"\n\"You just need to pull the trigger at the perfect moment, right?!\"\n\nShe mastered the game in no time, but a simple toy like that was never going to keep her entertained for long.\nDuring her very first mission to the Monolith with the Third Squad, Chaton ditched her team and made a beeline straight for the arcade.\nFor a Trekker stepping into the Monolith for the first time, it was a wildly dangerous stunt.\nBut that didn't seem to bother Chaton in the slightest.\nAs Kasimira waited anxiously at the entrance, debating whether to charge back in after her, Chaton casually strolled out. Cradled in her arms was a pair of headphones she'd just wished for.\n\nKasimira gave her a blistering scolding, but the rest of the squad was absolutely floored by her raw talent.\nOn her first-ever trip inside, she had not only conquered several arcade machines entirely on her own...\nBut also casually stumbled upon a Wishing Box on her way out, using it to conjure up headphones pre-loaded with all her favorite tunes.",

Lured by the scent of blood, they swarmed the town, plunging the battlefield into absolute chaos.\nAs one mercenary band fell back, someone spotted a monster lunging at a child in a narrow alley.\n\nA gunshot cracked through the night.\nThe bullet tore into the beast, shattering it into dust right before the child's eyes.\nThe child looked up at her rescuer.

The same monster. The same fallen enemy.\nChaton stood completely frozen.\nThen, she hugged the rifle tightly to her chest.\n\"Yes! I've finally unlocked my dark power!\"\nShe cheered.\nA brand-new chapter in Chaton's story had just begun, and she dubbed her new weapon the Uncompleted Codex Entry.",

Mistique the Legend Witch allegedly strikes a secret deal with the Tyrant—some citizens demand her immediate arrest!\"\n\"SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT! Scarlet Sights Media Trio of Witches become a Quartet—Guess Who's Joining?!\"\n\nMistique firmly believes: interesting things will always triumph over dullness.\nA rumor only becomes popular when it's entertaining.\nBut she also understands that familiarity breeds contempt; no matter how thrilling something might seem, constant exposure can lead to feelings of boredom and annoyance.\n\nSo she spread even more outrageous, self-made gossips about herself.\nWhen the \"Legendary Witch Mistique\" made headline once in a while, readers were thrilled.\nBut once they were bombarded with Mistique's exploits nonstop, frustration and apathy grew quickly.\n\nAlthough Mistique's planted rumors seemed random and slapdash at first glance, they were well-directed tittle-tattles.\nEvery day, she donned a cloak and a pair of sunglasses, sending her summons across the city to monitor the reach and impact of her fabricated stories.\n\nDay One: Everyone was abuzz about whether witches and Tyrant are of the same ilk.\nDay Three: Debates flared as someone presented a formula \"proving\" Mistique couldn't have demolished so many factories unless she weighed as much as a Spellbound Golem.\nDay Five: The hot topic among the Flavio citizens was United Harvest's poor employee benefits and its possible connection with their tree bark-taste bread.\n\nMistique was delighted. Why? Because no one cared about the \"Trio of Witches.\" anymore\nMore precisely, those who usually reveled in discussing the three witches had completely skirted the topic.\nIt was as though they purposely avoided to touch on this topic.\n\nShe narrowed her eyes as she gazed toward Flavio's perpetually foggy city center.\n\n\"Looks like I've stumbled upon something big again.\"",

Only the fastest Witch can get the first-hand scoop.\"\nSo, when brooms are no help, running becomes the best alternative.\nMistique does not want to run.\nShe skipped every single long-distance running class and barely scraped by the exam.\nIn her view, instead of training her legs, it was better to train her broom.\nA well-trained broomstick, in her opinion, should be capable of flying, navigating, accelerating on its own, and—ideally—drafting the article for her.\n\nStill, Mistique removed the last item from her wish list before getting someone to modify her broom.\nAfter all, if a broom can write news articles by itself, what do SSM need her for?\nShe had to spend three months of her salary, but Mistique did obtain her new broom from the Neo Grace Organization—the Dread Comet.\nThe manual read: As long as it's fed the right fuel, the Dread Comet could fly faster than its counterparts.\nAnd the fuel it needed perfectly aligned with Mistique's job: news reports, lots and lots of them.\nSimply feed it a roll of finished articles, and the broom could fly faster and steadier than ever before; Mistique could even write while airborne.\nOf course, the catch was that Mistique had to keep writing non-stop, every day of the week.\nNaturally, the manual was nonsense. A broom has no mouth—how could it eat articles? It was only a little joke left for Mistique.\nBut Mistique accepted this \"design\" with pleasure.\nShe would ride the Dread Comet through the streets and alleys, and keep on writing.",
