Jis: "...So, you’re planning to enter the autonomous zone through the Loop smuggling route? That’s why you need an interpreter."
Shirone: "Yes. Yuna said you’re quite skilled. I’d like to know how good you are."
Jis: "I can handle everyday conversations without a problem. I can guide you. But... the autonomous zone. Hmm."
Jis stroked his chin.
Shirone: "What’s wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
Jis: "No, it’s fine. If it’s where you want to go, I’ll guide you anywhere. But I don’t know why you’re going there, but that place is special. I’ve gotten that feeling a lot while working there. Plus, the Galliant government strictly controls access. Are you sure you’ll be okay?"
Shirone: "The government controls access? But the Galliant government and the Kergo Autonomous Zone are separate administrative bodies. Can’t they just do as they please?"
