Timid Mouse[]
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Timid Mouse"Video Summary: When cats hunt, they toy with their prey... It's in their nature.
Story Description: You and Nekomata meet up with the company's "guide" Ollie in the Hollow, but you never expected Ollie to be so timid. His screams even ends up attracting Ethereals...
- Ollie: Hi, you're Nekomata, right? Allow me to introduce myself — I'm Ollie, and I'm in charge of this operation.
- Nekomata: "Operation"? This is just a field survey. Is it like, a trend for companies to use fancy names?
- Ollie: Ahem, I mean, this time at least I'm... your client! Yes, client and guide. Ahaha...
- Ollie: Speaking of which — our Proxy isn't here yet?
- Nekomata: Uh, we're both right here?
- Ollie: ...Miss Nekomata, please don't kid around. It's... it's just you and me here... no others?
- Nekomata: He doesn't seem to realize this Bangboo right under his nose is a Proxy.
Hello, I'm your Proxy.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hello, Ollie!Hello, Ollie! /
Hey, Ollie.Hey, Ollie.) I'm actually your Proxy.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hello, Ollie!Hello, Ollie! /
- I'm "the other."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Ollie, I'm "the other."Ollie, I'm "the other." /
Ollie, I'm "the other one"!Ollie, I'm "the other one"!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Ollie, I'm "the other."Ollie, I'm "the other." /
- Ollie: Wahhh?! Wh—Who's there?!
- Nekomata: Mee—YOW! My ears!
- Nekomata: Sorry I wasn't clear before, Ollie. But please... keep Thirens' hearing in mind...
- Nekomata: So as you can see, this talking Bangboo is our Proxy.
- Ollie: Oh, is that so? Haha... my bad.
- Ollie: Well, that was embarrassing, letting you see that side of me. But I promise I'm still a reliable guy!
- Ollie: Please lean on me, just as much as I'm leaning on this stalagmite right now...
- Ollie: See — chatting and laughing so freely like this, while being so close to an Ether crystal... Hoo! That's more than enough to demonstrate my aptitude for it!
- (An Ethereal growls)
- Ollie: Did the crystal just move? Don't tell me —
- Nekomata: Oh, it's one of those inactive, sleeping Eth-
- Ollie: Ahhh—!! An Ethereal!
- Nekomata: Hey, calm down — I said, it's just an inactive Ethereal!
- Ollie: Ahhhhh—
- He's completely gone.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Seems like he's utterly panicked.Seems like he's utterly panicked. /
Oh no, looks like he's totally panicking.Oh no, looks like he's totally panicking.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Seems like he's utterly panicked.Seems like he's utterly panicked. /
- He's not even listening...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Seems he can't even hear anything right now.Seems he can't even hear anything right now. /
Seems he's not paying attention to anything right now.Seems he's not paying attention to anything right now.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Seems he can't even hear anything right now.Seems he can't even hear anything right now. /
- Nekomata: Uh, well... Let's take care of the Ethereal first and talk after.
- (After the cutscene)
- Nekomata: Let's get rid of these Ethereals first.

Luring the Mouse[]
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Luring the Mouse"Video Summary: When cats hunt, they toy with their prey... It's in their nature.
Story Description: Nekomata is suspicious of Ollie's timid nature. After several rounds of probing, Nekomata determined Ollie isn't working for the company he says he is...
- Ollie: Huff... Puff... At last, we're safe.
- Ollie: Ah, Miss Nekomata — I was blown away by your heroism just then!
- Nekomata: I'm glad to hear it. But in the future, could you please not wander aimlessly around the battlefield so much? I don't want you to get hurt.
- Nekomata: When I read the notes for this job, I assumed you'd be a little more... composed. I didn't expect companies would have such different requirements for Hollow surveyors?
- Ollie: ...Ahaha, di—diversity is, it's highly valued by the company...
- Ollie: Fine, I'm really not the best at dealing with Ethereals, but I—I've got a, y'know, a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to recovering Etheric resources!
- Nekomata: Really? Then I guess I'll trust you.
- Nekomata: Well, since you mentioned Etheric resource recovery, there's no sense hiding it — What we really want is to help support your resource recovery business in the future.
- Nekomata: So, if everything goes smoothly today, could you have a word with your boss and help us get in on the follow-up commission?
- Ollie: Oh, um... Yeah, of course, no problem, just leave it up to me!
- Nekomata: Heehee, we're counting on you, meow!
- Nekomata: Tell you the truth, I've been planning on switching careers recently. Working for a big fancy company like yours oughta pay better than hustling on Inter-Knot for myself, right?
- Ollie: Uhh, s—sure does, haha...
- Nekomata: Can you tell us how much of a cut you take for recovering Etheric resources like this?
- Ollie: ...Oh, yeah... my cut, it's... well, it's...
- Nekomata: Ah, how silly of me, meow. You work for a company, so you must get a fixed salary plus bonuses — but I guess that's confidential?
- Ollie: Ah... Y-Yes, hah, I have to keep that a secret!
- Ollie: That is very considerate of you, Miss Nekomata. I won't disclose exactly how much it is, then. Haha.
- Nekomata: Cool cool cool, let's not talk about salaries right now, then. Shall we get started with surveying the route?
- Ollie: Ah, okay, just let me look up the exact details here...
- Nekomata: Psst, hey Phaethon. What do you think of this Ollie guy?
- What's up? Why are we whispering all of a sudden?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What's up? Are we whispering because you don't want Ollie to hear?What's up? Are we whispering because you don't want Ollie to hear? /
...Are we whispering because you don't want him to hear my opinion?...Are we whispering because you don't want him to hear my opinion?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What's up? Are we whispering because you don't want Ollie to hear?What's up? Are we whispering because you don't want Ollie to hear? /
- So you said all that on purpose...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I was thinking, why would you want to switch jobs, when you only just started with the Cunning Hares? But I get it, you were leading him on, huh.I was thinking, why would you want to switch jobs, when you only just started with the Cunning Hares? But I get it, you were leading him on, huh. /

- Nekomata: Hm. I feel like he's a little weird. He talked about working with this company, but his story's full of holes. It's obvious he's not familiar with them.
- Nekomata: What do you think, Proxy?
- Perhaps he's just a low-level salaryman?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What if he's a low-level salaryman who's been forced into a job in the Hollow by his boss?What if he's a low-level salaryman who's been forced into a job in the Hollow by his boss? /
Maybe he does work there, but knows nothing about the business because he's new — and his boss forced him to come here!Maybe he does work there, but knows nothing about the business because he's new — and his boss forced him to come here!) - Nekomata: Huh? For a Proxy, you sure are naive.
- Nekomata: My years of experience on the streets tell me he's definitely no corporate salaryman. More like some rookie trying to hustle for change down in a Hollow.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What if he's a low-level salaryman who's been forced into a job in the Hollow by his boss?What if he's a low-level salaryman who's been forced into a job in the Hollow by his boss? /
- I think he's a fake.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): He seems like a fake. (Just a nobody who wants to hustle some money from down in the Hollows.Just a nobody who wants to hustle some money from down in the Hollows. /
Maybe he's just a punk who got a tip-off and is trying to hustle some money from down in a Hollow.Maybe he's just a punk who got a tip-off and is trying to hustle some money from down in a Hollow.) - Nekomata: Mm, I thought so, too. Working with you sure saves a lotta hassle!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): He seems like a fake. (Just a nobody who wants to hustle some money from down in the Hollows.Just a nobody who wants to hustle some money from down in the Hollows. /
- Nekomata: But, I'm confused about why he's still forcing himself to come in here when he's obviously terrified.
- Nekomata: There must be something going on behind the scenes. Maybe there's a big score waiting to be revealed!
- Nekomata: In any case, let's finish up this commission with him — then, find a way to figure out what's really going on.
- (After the cutscene)
- Ollie: I've confirmed the surveyed route.
- Ollie: Please stick together... stay on my heels.
- (While following Ollie)
- Nekomata: Mr. Ollie, about your company...
- Ollie: W—Wait, what's that sound coming from over there?
- Ollie: Would you go check ahead?
- (Interact with the Unknown Area)
- Your Faithful Assistant, Fairy-Cat: "Master, Ollie refuses to proceed due to an unusual acoustic occurrence. I suggest you go and investigate."
- Lonely Chronopher: You discover a still-functioning timed alarm in the corner of an abandoned building.
- Lonely Chronopher: "I'm not being oversensitive! It's just... that sound always triggers my memories of mergency sirens."
- So, Ollie often hears emergency sirens? That's sus...
- What kind of "emergencies" do you mean?
- A Weird and Unfortunate Company: Ollie stutters and awkwardly responds. "We... You see, we have some outdated equipment over there, and it's not rare to encounter issues like fires, electrical leaks, leaky toilets... and stuff!"
- (After the event)
- Ollie: Phew... Luckily, that's not an enemy.
- Ollie: We should get outta here. Over there...
- (While following Ollie)
- Nekomata: Talking about work, Mr. Ollie, what do you—
- Ollie: W—What's that!? There's something wobbling around!
- Ollie: Straight ahead, can you go check?
- (Interact with an Unknown Area)
- Your Faithful Assistant, Fairy-Cat: "Master, there is an unknown object moving around in the ruins ahead. Ollie is scared stiff and unable to continue. Please head there and investigate."
- Unexpected Gains: You walk into the ruins, only to discover a wrinkled, worn coat...
- Unexpected Gains: "If I show up in such a wrinkled uniform, I'll definitely be scolded..."
"Your company has a uniform?"
"A suit, I mean a suit... Hey, check this! What's in its pocket?" - It's a supermarket coupon!
- Let's give it to Nekomata.
- Unexpected Gains: Having unexpectedly obtained a supermarket coupon, Nekomata decides to not press Ollie about the holes in his story for now.
- (After the event)
- Nekomata: Can't wait to go shopping after getting my pay!
- (Interact with the other Unknown Area)
- Your Faithful Assistant, Fairy-Cat: "There is some writing on the wall ahead. Ollie believes this may be a useful marker. Proceed forward to check it out."
- A Blessing... Or Not: "Congratulations! You have arrived at where I've been! I wish you good luck in all your future endeavors! Let me bestow upon you a blessing!" Then, a recording of a song by a person who was way too confident in their singing voice starts playing...
You call this a "blessing"?! - Oops, this song of "blessing" has attracted Ethereals...
- I choose you! Nekomata the Amazing!
- (After combat)
- Ollie: ...Ethereals are way too scary...
- Ollie: We should get outta here. Over there...
- (While following Ollie)
- Ollie: Let me handle that locked door ahead!
- Ollie: Uh... I forgot to bring the key card...
- Nekomata: Seems like we can open the door with that button!
- Ollie: Can you please go take a look?
- (Press the switch)
- Ollie: The door's open!
- Ollie: We should go this way now!
- (While following Ollie)
- Ollie: It should be safe around here!
- Ollie: Ohh~...Why're Ethereals here all of a sudden?
- Ollie: Take care of them! I'm begging you!
- (After combat)
- Nekomata: The Ethereals have all been taken care of.
- Ollie: The end is up ahead...
- Ollie: Can I walk behind you for this final stretch of the road?
- Nekomata: ...Just follow me.
- (Interact with the observation point)
- Ollie: The surveyed route finishes right up there!
- Nekomata: Smells like Ethereals...[Note 1]
- Nekomata: How can there be so many?
- (Approach the exit)
- Nekomata: They may be small, but I've got a weird feeling about this...
- Ollie: Aaaah! There! That's a big one!
- Nekomata: Is it really that scary?
- Nekomata: I'll get rid of them!
- (After defeating all enemies)
Cat & Mouse Chaos[]
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Cat & Mouse Chaos"Video Summary: When cats hunt, they toy with their prey... It's in their nature.
Story Description: Nekomata pickpocketed ollie and managed to lift a pair of... handcuffs?! Oh, but it isn't some weird fetish; Ollie is actually a PubSec Officer...
- Ollie: Phew, that's great. That's a wrap for the commission, thanks to the both of you. Couldn't have gotten it all done today without you, eheheh...
- Ollie: As for your payment, once we exit the Hollow... I'll have funds transferred to Miss Nekomata's Inter-Knot account. Oh, and don't worry, I'll be putting in a good word for you two back at the company!
- Nekomata: Okay, we're counting on you, meow!
- Ollie: Now that our business is done and dusted, shall we head out of the Hollow now?
- Nekomata: No problem, me and the Proxy will find the fastest and safest route out of the Hollow. This is how a Proxy makes a living, so we can't let you listen in. Sorry about that.
- Ollie: I understand! I'll just, stand over there and turn my back to you. You can trust me!
- Nekomata: ...Darn it. I was so busy and flustered the whole time I never got around to asking this guy about his true purpose and identity.
- Nekomata: Mrowr... We don't have time! We have to leave the Hollow soon and then everyone will go their separate ways!
- Let's think of something.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Calm down, Nekomata.Calm down, Nekomata. /
Don't worry, Nekomata.Don't worry, Nekomata.) We'll figure something out. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Back when you were with the gang, did you ever come across anything like this?
- Nekomata: Back when I was in the gang...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Calm down, Nekomata.Calm down, Nekomata. /
- You can't torture him!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Nekomata, to be up-front — you can't extract info through torture.Nekomata, to be up-front — you can't extract info through torture. /
Nekomata, to be clear — getting info through torture isn't allowed.Nekomata, to be clear — getting info through torture isn't allowed.) - Nekomata: C'mon, I know that! Even if he's hiding something, he's still the client!
- Nekomata: Besides, just 'cuz I was taken in by a street gang doesn't mean I'm gonna do stuff like that!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Nekomata, to be up-front — you can't extract info through torture.Nekomata, to be up-front — you can't extract info through torture. /
- Nekomata: Hmmmm, Proxy... Speaking of street gangs, that reminds me—
- Nekomata: It's time to use my secret ability. Watch this!
- Nekomata quickly darts over to where Ollie is standing without him noticing, and returns just as quickly...
- Nekomata: Got it! Now lemme see what this so-called "guide" Ollie has on him...
- Nekomata: Huh? Wait, these are...? Handcuffs?
- What's a civilian doing with these?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Handcuffs? Ordinary civilians don't just go around carrying these...Handcuffs? Ordinary civilians don't just go around carrying these... /
Huh? Handcuffs? What's a civilian doing with these?!Huh? Handcuffs? What's a civilian doing with these?!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Handcuffs? Ordinary civilians don't just go around carrying these...Handcuffs? Ordinary civilians don't just go around carrying these... /
- P—Please... Respect other people's hobbies.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uhh... You should respect other people's hobbies, Nekomata. That's private. Now, quickly, put it back.Uhh... You should respect other people's hobbies, Nekomata. That's private. Now, quickly, put it back. /

- (SiblingSibling): Hold up, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)... Fairy just detected a string of numbers on the handcuffs that match the same format used by Public Security. - Nekomata: What?! These handcuffs belong to a Public Security officer?
- Ollie: Um, Miss Nekomata? Proxy? How's your chat going? I think... I—I think I can hear some Ethereals nearby...
- Ollie: Aaaah — what are my handcuffs doing over... Uhh, I mean... they're not my — my not-handcuff, oh...
- Nekomata: Tell us the truth, Ollie. Why do you have Public Security handcuffs on you?
- Ollie: It's... That's... I found those handcuffs!
- Nekomata: Oh, so you just found them somewhere? Well then, that's completely fine, meow—
- Ollie: Ughh—! Oof!
- Nekomata suddenly gives Ollie a sharp kick to the knee, then pins him to the ground.
- Nekomata: Well now, Ollie! I took you for a rookie thief judging by the way you cowered like a chicken in the Hollow. I never thought you'd steal something from a Public Security officer!
- Nekomata: I thought I could get a nice score from your commission, but seems we oughta be grateful you haven't landed us in even more trouble!
- Nekomata: And these handcuffs that you just "found"... What kind of incompetent officer would lose their own equipment?
- Nekomata: Any cop who lets you take their 'cuffs off 'em must be a real weakling.
- Ollie: Please... Please don't insult Public Security officers!
- Ollie: A Public Security officer has to grit his teeth and endure arduous training; they have to stay up all night studying for exams; has to struggle to pass the strictest of screening... Only then can he become an officer!
- Nekomata: Why're you gettin' all...virtuous all of a sudden?
- Nekomata: Hold up, don't interrupt me! We want the truth, and get on with it. Who are you really, and why did you post a fake commission through a fake company?
- Ollie: It's... I... I can't tell you!
- Nekomata: Can't tell us? Are you still not grasping the situation?
- Nekomata: Hm, let me see... Since you're not cooperating, I guess I'll just have to throw you to the Ethereals in here...
- Nekomata: Hooboy, we killed so many of their friends today — I bet they're gonna be real happy to see you, right?
- Ollie: Ahhhhh—
- Nekomata: How about now? Ready to talk?
- Ollie: I... That... I won't tell! Even if you feed me to the Ethereals, I won't...
- Nekomata: Tsk, what is up with this guy? He's scared out of his wits, but he still won't talk...
- (SiblingSibling): Hold on, Nekomata. I've just matched the serial number from these handcuffs to an officer!
- (SiblingSibling): Ollie, male. Team 4, Criminal Investigations Division at Janus 12th Precinct... That's who this guy (is!is! /
is.is.) - Nekomata: Huh? No way...this guy... is actually a Public Security officer?
