===[Sky Screen]===
Vergilius: "Done chatting? First, we make way for the bus. You'll spend more time together than you'd ever ask for, so table that discussion for later."
[At this moment, a sphere made of chains appeared on the Sky Screen, from which ten chains burst forth, connecting to ten spaces.]
[Three of them are red, and the rest are white.]
["You need not hide any secrets from me."]
[Seven Association South Section 6 — Yi Sang]
[At this moment, Yi Sang, wearing green clothes, appears on the screen.]
["Hurrah, justice hath arrived! I shall drive all villains into equal demise!" ]
[Shi Association South Section 5 Director Don Quixote]
[The scene shows Don Quixote carrying a sword on her back, clutching a wound on her upper arm, and looking gloomy.]
["Mm~ What nice weather. Right, so who needed my protection?" ]
[Zwei Association South Section 5 Rodion]
[The image shows Rodya, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, sitting on a bench and stretching.]
===[Line Break]===
Tang Dynasty
"Is this Yi Sang from the mirror world? And that's Ryoshu behind him, right?" Li Bai said calmly.
It looks like we'll encounter other Ryoshu from other mirror worlds in the future.
Three Kingdoms
"Hey, what's wrong with Don Quixote?" Cao Cao looked at Don Quixote on the Sky Screen with a puzzled expression.
What exactly happened to make her in the mirror world like this?
Ming Dynasty
"Protection? Could it be guards?" Zhu Di thought for a moment.
Compared to the serious-looking Heathcliff beside her, her appearance was far more conspicuous.
Qing Dynasty (1902)
"Association? Is it the equivalent of chamber of commerce over there?" a Shanghai businessman asked doubtfully.
(For China at that time, chambers of commerce were an imported concept. They took root and began to flourish after 1902, specifically with the establishment of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, which marked the birth of modern chambers of commerce in China.)
[At this moment, an introduction to the association also appeared on the Sky Screen.]
[To facilitate the management of Fixers, thirteen Fixer associations were established in The City to manage different industries. These are:]
[Hana (One) Association is the leader of the Associations; grades all Fixers, Offices, and City hazards.]
[The Zwei (Two) Association specializes in public safety and defense, acting as a police force.]
[The Tres (Three) Association manages Workshops and reviews Workshop weaponry for use by Fixers.]
[The Shi (Four) Association specializes in assassinations and stealth operations.]
[The Cinq (Five) Association specializes in dueling.]
[The Liu (Six) Association specializes in direct combat and warfare.]
[The Seven (Seven) Association specializes in information collection.]
[The Eight (Eight) Association is responsible for matters concerning the Great Lake.] (T/N: Not properly stated yet but theories and hints suggest they are related to the Great Lake)
[The Deyvat (Nine) Association specialize in transportation and delivery.]
[The Deici (Ten) Association specializes in knowledge gathering and charity.]
[The Öufi (Eleven) Association oversees trades and deals.]
[The ??? (Thirteen) Association specializes in investigating and handling Distortions using E.G.O. technology.]
[Aside from the Hana Association, which oversees the Associations as a whole, the remaining Associations stand on equal footing, differing only in their specialties and methods.]
[Each Association, including the Hana Association, is divided into five branches: East, South, West, North, and Headquarters.]
[Each department has a department head who oversees the department's operations. Under the department head are six Section Chiefs and their subordinate staff who are responsible for carrying out the tasks assigned to them.]
[Though each Association specializes in different fields, the strength and authority of its Fixers rise steadily from Section 6 to Section 1.]
(A/N: The 12th Association (Greek for 12) is currently unknown, so I won't write it down. I don't know how to type the Hebrew for the 13th Association, so I won't write it down either.)
(T/N: AFAIK, the 13th assoc. Can be considered non-canon cuz it was in a scrapped ending of Library of Ruina, the game predecessor of Limbus Company. Idk why the author wanted to add this (cmiiw))
Tang Dynasty
"This division of labor is quite clear, very similar to the Three Departments and Six Ministries system of my Great Tang Dynasty." Emperor Taizong of Tang commented as he looked at the introduction of the association on the Sky Screen.
Qin Dynasty
"Shi Association… assassination…" The First Emperor recalled some deeply unpleasant memories as they surged back like a tidal wave.
"No… 'unpleasant' is putting it too lightly."¹
Ming Dynasty
"In charge of intelligence... is it similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Emperor Hongwu of Ming pondered.
But the figure on the Sky Screen doesn't look like it can fight.
Spring and Autumn
"It seems this Fixer isn't complete; they're all just fighting and killing," Confucius said.
The one responsible for knowledge must surely resemble a teacher guiding others. I would quite like to visit the Deici Association someday.

T/N:
Been busy
¹: The original line was "No, that should be called assassination." But I felt it didn't match the flow (repeating assassination twice) so I changed it. I think this unpleasant memories is referring to Jing Ke's failed assassination attempt, where he approached Qin Shi Huang under diplomatic pretenses and tried to kill him with a concealed dagger.
I might have missed more mistakes here since my head wasn't really into it. If you ever find anything off-putting, please let me know.
