I have entered the code like you requested. What is the next step?
|
 Idia
Idia

I’m now going to shut down the system and remove the lock on the back armor… I’ll give you a cue when it’s done.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Say, Yuu. We’re not really doing anything, are we? Azul took care of the assembly of all the difficult parts, and he’s dexterous so there hasn’t been a single problem.
|
Choice 1: If anything, we're in the way.
|
Choice 2: Maybe he needed company?
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
System shutdown complete. It’s open.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Grim, sorry to have kept you waiting! It’s finally your time to shine.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Eh? Me?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
We have opened the back armor. Please have a look inside.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Hmm… Ortho really is a machine. It’s all just cords and metal limbs.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Do you see the component shining blue all the way in? That is what we want to upgrade this time. The plan is to take the old one out and insert a new one in the same place.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
I- Isn’t this a lot of responsibility…? Wouldn’t it be better if you two did it?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Idia is overseeing Ortho’s program, and I recharge the power every fifteen seconds, so unfortunately our hands are full… It’s quite the bothersome security system, isn’t it?
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
I thought I’d make it rigorous so it’s not stolen… It’s a very important part of Ortho’s body, after all… Heh. It has become so rigorous I can’t even work on it alone anymore! It’s something that needs constant improvement.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Why do you look like you’re having fun… Weirdo.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
While timing it with our work, you’ll quickly remove the component… That’s simple enough, right?
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Well, if it’s just that I can do it. I’ll just go in here and-
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Wait. Make sure to not touch anything except that component.Anything.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
This is sorta suspicious… What if I touched it? I wouldn’t get an electric shock, would I?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Ahaha! No way. Right, Idia?
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
Mhm. Of course you won’t get a shock, even if you touched it. But-
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
But?
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
You’ll just be seen as an enemy by the immunization program and consequently attacked with a high output of magic energy.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
That’s not okay in any way! I’m putting my life on the line here!! So I’ve gotten the worst job here after all. No way I’m doing it!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Oh, no! The shock of being refused like this is going to make me drop those photos in front of Professor Trein…
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Grr…. B- But I don’t want to be attacked by magic energy either…
|
 Azul
Azul

Right now I might even be so grateful as to buy you a premium quality can of tuna...
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Meowhat. For free? I absolutely won’t forget you said that, okay!?
|
Choice 1: Oh, how simple-minded...
|
Choice 2: Powerless before the might of canned tuna...
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
You need determination for delicate operations! … Let’s go! Hah!
|
 Idia
Idia 
|
You removed the part with quite the spirit. Nice. Next…
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Go!!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Wonderful. You threw- ahem, fastened the new part.

Idia

Hell yes! Now to show off my skills…
|
 Grim
Grim

Pheeeew! I was so nervous!

 Idia
Idia

Processing speed increased by 10%. Now he can run programs that were impossible with the previous performance levels… Huhu.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Idia isn’t even listening to me anymore! … Can’t I have some more sympathy here?
|
Choice 1: Well done!
|
Choice 2: You were really cool.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Thank you for your hard work. I shall take care of the old component.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Take it, I have no need for that garbage. More importantly – Azul. I’ve worked hard here, so you better destroy those photos. And don’t forget the tuna! I remember your promise.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Of course. I am a man of my word. I will destroy the photos and give you the can of tuna. You won’t bear any grudge for today’s events. If you consent to it, I’d like you to sign here to avoid future trouble.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Yeah! I did my part so you can forget this too.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Yes. Understood.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Hehehe. Those bothersome photos are gone, and on top of that I got a can of tuna. That was a good deal!
|
 Ortho

… Restart completed. Programs have been updated without issue.
… Everyone, thank you so much for today!
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Yeah, you better be grateful.
|

That you’d be satisfied with just one can of tuna… You’re such a generous and kind person, Grim! You could have eaten as much tuna as you want for all the money that Azul Ashengrotto will get for selling the old component.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
… What…?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Certainly not! I would never do something as silly as selling a magic component that the genius Idia made by hand. I intend to use it under the most ideal circumstances to maximize its value.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Eh? Eh? J-Just how many cans of tuna is Ortho’s component worth?
|
 Ortho
Ortho 
|
I wonder. Maybe enough cans to flood the whole gymnasium?
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
What??
|
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Don’t look down on me. I’m going to double that price.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Azul! You made me do the dangerous work here but you pocket the grand prize?
|
Choice 1: We were had...
|
Choice 2: Weren't you happy to get a can of tuna?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Isn’t it a wonderful mutually beneficial contract? Here, one can of premium canned tuna.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Grrrrr…!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Ah, to see you so pleased brings me joy as well.
