Fawks

Ah, you're the one who rescued me?

I'm Fawks. I know what comes next. You want me to thank you, right?

By the way, how much are you charging me for that? I do hope it's not exorbitant.

It's what? It's free?! So this "Rescue
Corps" is a charity group, then?

I wonder... You know, Alpin and I traveled here together, but somehow he was rescued before me.

I mean, we were on the same spaceship.
Did I land in a bad location?

Great, I've fallen behind him now.

It all looks like hard work, really. If I were you, I'd take a little time to relax.

Do you plan to continue working for the
Rescue Corps? If so, you might want to take a few breaks so you don't burn out.

Alpin and I have known each other a long time. We seem to get along well despite our differences.

Or maybe he just puts up with me.

I'm what you would call an investor.

You might not guess it by looking at me, but I used to own multiple IT companies.

I eventually sold them all and used the resulting assets to set myself up as an investor.

I decided to come here with Alpin because he told me that he was going to develop new businesses.

There are a lot of interesting things here, so investing in him seems like a sound financial move.

Lately, I make a living by being a corporate adviser, consultant, and guest speaker.

I give advice about things like business- management policies and advertising.

Observing different companies' business trends is part of my daily routine. I might even say it's become my hobby.

My other hobby is collecting news. I save articles and follow the state of affairs.

Alpin can be a handful. He likes to do things his own way, so he needs someone to be the voice of reason.

One time, he had this business idea I told him was no good, but he didn't listen. He was so sure it would be successful.

He got burned pretty bad on that one.
I guess that's when he started listening to me more.

Since the Rescue Corps Officers saved me, I've had a chance to recover from being leafified.

When I was a leafling, everything was very strange. I felt like I was possessed.

I was completely obsessed with the art of
Dandori. It was alarming. Every thought was about utilizing efficient Dandori skills.

Honestly, I'm not really a social person.
It's probably why I'm not that comfortable in group settings.

That was one of the reasons I chose to be an investor. You don't really need a lot of close interaction with others.

Alpin crosses my social boundaries, but... somehow I don't mind when he does it. I guess that's how he became a good friend.

It all looks like hard work, really. If I were you, I'd take a little time to relax.

Rescue Corps? If so, you might want to take a few breaks so you don't burn out.

Are you actually trying to lick my face?

I'd rather you didn't.

Did you just try to sniff my rear?

I get that it's a dog thing, but maybe don't.

Hey, have you noticed that we could almost be twins?

Ah, sorry. I guess I made that kind of awkward.

Yes indeed, it's an honor to be rescued by an up-and-coming hero such as yourself.

And yet... I see that Mr. Fawks, the fellow
I traveled here with, has yet to be found.

I do worry about Mr. Fawks...but I'm almost certain he'll be just fine.

He's sharp, that one. That's what makes him such a good investor!

Mr. Fawks is very shrewd about where he puts his money. He's built up a nice little fortune... Almost as nice as mine!

It would be a real loss for the universe if we don't get him back. So please, do make sure you rescue him.

Mr. Fawks likes his coffee sweet. Very sweet, in fact! I often make coffee for him, you know.

One cup of coffee, plus two spoonfuls of milk, plus three sugar cubes... That is how he likes his coffee.

You're a hero—no doubt about it!
You found Mr. Fawks, after all.

Without him, I...I wouldn't be able to expand my new business!

That's right! You saved not only me and
Mr. Fawks but my entire business as well!
Yes, yes, my gratitude runs deep.

I came to this planet to launch a new business!

I invited Mr. Fawks to join me on my journey, because I had hoped to get his opinion on my new venture.

Mr. Fawks and I have worked on quite a few business ventures together. In fact, many found success all because of him.

Yes, he is quite irreplaceable.

Sigh... I would like to return home. Then again, if I could get a business venture off the ground here...

I must hear what Mr. Fawks has to say on the matter as soon as possible! I can't wait to see what our new endeavor will be!
