Escape from Unemployment! 1
小丑皇Hey, I was waiting for you! I need your help finding a job.小丑皇Taking it easy everyday is fun and all, but I can't keep this up.小丑皇I've finally realized... If I want to be just like a human, I need to get a job!玩家Can't you just look for one? That's gonna be tricky...
小丑皇That's easy for you to say... The problem is more complicated than you think.小丑皇It's this damn face of mine! Even when I try juggling on street corners, kids run away from me!小丑皇Then adults always think I'm a human, but I'm not. They always end up grumbling that I'm too old for such strange make up, that I should know better...小丑皇How can I find a job like this!? This isn't make up, it's my face!小丑皇You know, coexistence between Digimon and humans is really tough...小丑皇...Anyway, back to what I was saying! With this look and this face, both adults and kids are scared of me and neither will come near me!小丑皇Even for work that isn't as public I've been told"Looking like that will distract the other workers," and I get rejected.
小丑皇No one will employ someone like me...小丑皇Please, I'm desperate. Could you find me a job somewhere in EDEN?小丑皇Aren't there various spaces in EDEN where people gossip all the time? Maybe you could find some info on a job in a place like that?小丑皇Please go somewhere in EDEN and get some info for me. By the way, I am great at anything physical and entertaining! ...Well, that's my PR line.Gentle ManHey, you! Yeah, you there!
Gentle ManSorry to come out of the blue like this but, do you have any special talents? You look like someone with pride in their skills anyway.
玩家I have fast reflexes. I have a few Digimon. I'm proud of the fact that I'm not prideful.
Gentle ManReally!?
Gentle ManThat great! I'm looking for someone with really quick reflexes!
Gentle ManYou can use Digimon...? Then...you're a hacker!?
Gentle Man...Well, this time I'm just looking for anyone who seems agile, so anyone will do...
Gentle ManIsn't it kind of pathetic if you say that yourself...?
Gentle ManWell, this time I'm just looking for anyone who seems agile, so anyone will do...
Gentle ManSorry, I should have said this earlier. I'm a circus ringleader.
Circus Ringleader...although, our circus is very small and totally unknown.
Circus RingleaderBut our dream is to do a nationwide public performance! So, we go around EDEN putting on big public shows.
Circus RingleaderThe group members are really into it but... all of them are surprisingly bad performers!
Circus RingleaderI'm looking for someone who can coach the other group members and encourage them, but...
Circus Ringleader...Huh!? You know just the person!? A Digimon with good motor skills, an ability to juggle and who is a qualified clown?
Circus RingleaderSo, this Digimon... He doesn't attack people, does he?
Circus RingleaderOkay, we won't attack him either then!
Circus RingleaderWe are a circus group operating in EDEN, so I suppose Digimon could work here just as well as the other members of the group.
Circus RingleaderAll right, let's do it! Could you please tell him to come here, then? We can have an interview in person.
Circus RingleaderPlease tell the Digimon to be himself and show me his individuality.
Circus RingleaderGreat, it's gonna be awesome to have someone talented in the group! Can you please call this Digimon here so I can see his skills for myself?
小丑皇Huh!? You found a job that would suit me!? What kind of job is it!?小丑皇...An unknown circus group member? They're looking for a talented person who can train them up...?小丑皇That's it! That's perfect for me!小丑皇I probably won't make much of a salary at first, but even though it's an unknown circus now, I'm gonna make sure that someday it's big!小丑皇Thank you for finding me a job worth doing! I'm gonna go there right now and show them how to perform!小丑皇I'm glad I hired you. I'll send your payment to your office...小丑皇……待續小丑皇……待續小丑皇...I'm still kinda scared.小丑皇Please! Before I meet the circus ringleader, could you give me some advice on human interviews? If you help me out, I'll make it worth your while!小丑皇It's just, when I start the think about the interview I get s..s..so...n..n..nervous...! P...p...please, you gotta help...!玩家You're getting too worked up about it. ...Just try to relax a bit.
玩家In that case...it's tickle time! Well, what can you do except practice? Don't worry, you can do it. No problem.
小丑皇...Ahaha, stop!小丑皇Ahahahahahahahaha!!!小丑皇...Cut it out!! I'm trying to have a serious conversation here!小丑皇You were trying to get me to relax by laughing? Actually, I do feel more relaxed now that I've had a good laugh.小丑皇It was just a little sudden, so I was surprised, but thank you. Okay, let's get back to talking about the interview.小丑皇That's pretty cold... Are you the type of person who doesn't get nervous?小丑皇When you've got a once-in-a-lifetime chance at a job interview, isn't it natural to be nervous?小丑皇...Okay, I'm good. I was a little nervous, but now I've calmed down a bit. Let's get back to talking about the interview.小丑皇...Really? Do you think that even a Digimon like me could get a job if I try my best to make myself an attractive prospect?小丑皇Yeah, you know what, you're right! I feel a bit more confident now. Thanks for that!小丑皇In that case, I know it's a bit sudden, but can you teach me how to pass an interview?小丑皇Firstly, at the interview, when I greet them and introduce myself, what should I say to seem like a good candidate?玩家Give clear and concise answers! Look the interviewer in the eyes and be polite. Think something up yourself.
小丑皇I see...clear and concise, right? Okay, let's try it out, you can be the interviewer!小丑皇My name is Piedmon! I have confidence in my ability to entertain people and in my physical skills! Nice to meet you!小丑皇...How was that? Quite good, don't you think? I just hope I can be that clear during the actual interview...小丑皇Of course, I need to look the interviewer in the eyes, that's important. Okay, you're the interviewer, I'm going to do my self-introduction.小丑皇My name is P...Piemon...ehm... I think my strengths are my physical skills and, ehm, I can entertain people in a funny way...小丑皇That's no good, I couldn't keep my gaze fixed while I was talking...I need to act more naturally in the real interview...小丑皇Wa...wait! Come back!小丑皇The interview is soon! You're not just going to leave me here like this, are you? Well?小丑皇...What? A joke? Come on! And I'm here trying to take this seriously...小丑皇...Okay, then, moving on. There's probably gonna be a test of my skills in the interview, right?小丑皇I'm confident in my circus skills, but which skill should I show them?玩家...Ball tricks! For a circus, it's gotta be acrobatics! Do your special move, "Trump Sword"!
小丑皇...Hmm. There are always ball tricks or juggling, but what would make me seem like the best candidate to the circus ringleader?小丑皇I mean, how will it look if he says "Okay, let's see some of your skills!" and I say "Sure! Let me show you some ball tricks!"?小丑皇Ah, that's it! For a circus job, obviously the best choice is some stunning mid-air acrobatics!小丑皇But, the interview is gonna be in EDEN, right? Who's gonna set up all the acrobatic equipment? You?小丑皇...You can't do it, can you?小丑皇Wh...what did you say!? Do it anyway? But it's so dangerous!小丑皇"Trump Sword" is where I teleport the four swords on my back and make them skewer the target... Is that what you're talking about?小丑皇...What? The group leader said "Be yourself and show me your individuality"?小丑皇Well, I have been practicing this technique for many years. You might say I grew up with this technique.小丑皇Be myself... Okay! Like you said, I should try using it for the interview. Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt the circus ringleader or anything.小丑皇Oh, best not keep the ringleader waiting. I should start making my way there.小丑皇Thanks for keeping me company. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude.小丑皇Thanks to you I was able to relieve my stress and calm down. Well, thanks again and see you around!小丑皇...Huh? Is that the time already?小丑皇...Hmm? The payment I promised? Well, your advice was good, but...isn't the usual thing to send the payment on to your office? Please, be patient.小丑皇I really shouldn't keep the ringleader waiting, so I'm going now. Bye!小丑皇Oh! Is that the time already! ...I need to get started on my way to the interview. Okay, here's the agreed payment then.小丑皇I'm still a little nervous, but...interview, here I come!小丑皇I don't need a chaperon. Introducing me for the job was enough. It won't make me look good if I have someone accompany me to the interview.小丑皇If I ever get the chance to get on the big stage, I'll make sure to get you a ticket. You'll definitely have to come then... Okay, right then!
