Episode 2-5: How Many Times?
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Jamil Jamil	Ugh, and we're back at this room again. How many times has that been now?
Silver Silver	That's strange. I didn't think I had this bad a sense of direction.
Jamil Jamil	Neither did I. The reason we're so lost is likely because of the magic that's filling this place. Even if we leave little landmarks as we walk, before we realize it, we're off-track. It's like the space is warped.
Silver Silver	The space is…warped? …I've heard of a phenomenon like this before. Could this be the Land of Ghosts? In the Land of Ghosts, space warps and then begins connecting in strange places. I've heard it's a terribly easy place to get lost in. If that is the case, it would make sense that we've been lost for so long like this.
Jamil Jamil	The Land of Ghosts, huh…? Can we trust that info?
Silver Silver	We can. I…heard it directly from my dad. He's seen the Land of Ghosts in person.
Jamil Jamil	…I see. I'm sorry for making you remember something so painful. So your father's already…?
Silver Silver	He told me that when he was wandering on the boundary between life and death for his work, he caught a glimpse of the Land of Ghosts and went, "Oh, crap!" and immediately turned and went back.
Jamil Jamil	That…wasn't what I was expecting. Well, whatever. If this really is the Land of Ghosts, then it's not a good idea for us to just wander around with no plan. Let's examine this room more closely.
Jamil Jamil	I don't know what they're for, but there's a lot of machines lined up here. And they seem pretty old to boot.
Silver Silver	I checked the aquarium over there for some fish, just in case the fight drags out and we require food, but… All that's floating around in there is some weird fuzzy object.
Jamil Jamil	A weird fuzzy object…? Like algae?
Silver Silver	I'm not sure. Maybe it was the remains of something.
Jamil Jamil	…You really aren't swayed at all by the implications of what you just said. And wait, don't even think of eating fish raised in a place like this!
Silver Silver	Hunger steals both one's energy and their capability to think rationally. In an emergency situation, securing food is of the utmost importance.
Jamil Jamil	That's not really what I'm trying to say, but…it's fine. In any case, there's this huge machine in the middle of the room. It doesn't seem like a private residence, but some laboratory.
Silver Silver	Hm? Something sparkled by my feet. There's something in the gap between these machines.
Silver Silver	This is a blade…or no, it's a mirror. It's so small. Is it part of something in this room?
Jamil Jamil	All the machinery here seems to be pretty elaborate, I don't think this is part of any of them. Is it not just some junk that was lying about?
???	…Not here…
Silver Silver	Hm? I just heard a voice from somewhere.
???	Not here… It's not here… Just where oh where did I drop it…?
Jamil Jamil	Hey, look at the other side of the machine!
Ghost Ghost	At this rate, I'll be late for the party… I can't leave Their Greatness waiting…
Jamil Jamil	It's a ghost. But we can see and hear them so clearly. What you said about this being the Land of Ghosts…may be right, after all.
Silver Silver	This is bad.
Jamil Jamil	Hm?
Silver Silver	They might be the owner of this building. We have to apologize for entering without permission.
Jamil Jamil	What? Hey, wait! At least evaluate the situation a bit more before showing yourself to them… Ugh, and he's off. Why's he got to be so stupidly honest?!
Silver Silver	Miss Ghost, we greatly apologize for entering your residence without permission.
Ghost Ghost	Eek, a-a living human?!
Silver Silver	We mean you no harm. We just seem to have gotten a bit lost and wandered in here.
Ghost Ghost	Oh! That thing you're holding in your hand… That is my precious mirror shard! I thought I'd lost it, but you'd actually stolen it, hadn't you? You thief! Give it back!
Jamil Jamil	Whoa! She really tried to attack us!
Silver Silver	I understand. If it's that important to you, allow me to return it right away. Here you are. Please take it.
Ghost Ghost	What? Oh, um, yes… …Y-You're more of a gentleman than I imagined you'd be. I didn't think you'd just give it back to me… Either way, I cannot back down now! A crime is a crime! Criminals must be taken away and thrown into the dungeons to reflect! Someone! Someone capture them!
Jamil Jamil	They can't back down? What a pointless reason to attack someone! That's just absurd! Get ready, Silver!
Silver Silver	But…
Ghost Ghost	I'll capture all the living humans, just as Their Greatness ordered!
Silver Silver	Gah… Guess there's no other choice!
