... This is...the sensation of sunlight, piercing through my eyelids.…… 这是……阳光穿透眼睑的痛觉。

As I regain my consciousness, my ears once again pick up the sounds of the crashing waves. My body lays still, devoid of all energy. My arms feel as if they are crushed beneath something of incomprehensible weight, rendering me unable to even shield my eyes from the light.我的意识开始清醒,海浪的声音再次回到我的耳中。 身体使不上力气了,连手也像是被重物压着一样,甚至不能去遮挡眩目的光线。

Commander... Am I...still unable to leave this place?…… 还是……没能离开这里吗?

I don't remember when I was cast ashore, begotten from my ship's fateful end. I drifted till I met this island, and have been trapped here ever since... But that doesn't matter anymore.已经记不清是什么时候遭遇的船难,最后漂流到这座孤岛上,到现在也没办法逃出去…… 但怎么样都无所谓了。

CommanderI'm so thirsty...and hungry... Where can I find food...? Huh?口好渴……肚子……好饿,到底哪里才能找到食物…… 诶?

I seem to be hallucinating. I see my Dolls around me, trying to tell me something. ... However, I'm afraid I can't hear what they're saying.不知道是不是产生了幻觉,我看到人形们正围绕在我的身边,好像在对我诉说什么。 …… 但,恐怕我再也听不到了。

CommanderEveryone, I'm sorry... I can't take this anymore...大家,对不起……我可能就到此为止……

Annoying VoiceCom...man...der?指……挥……官?

AA-12Say, I'm the one who can't take it anymore! Why are you lying here putting on this stupid solo circus show? You're so into it, too! How gross...不管怎么说,我已经忍很久了! 你干嘛要躺在这里一个人演这种莫名其妙的幼稚戏啊,居然还那么投入,真恶心……

AA-12 starts to unwrap her lollipop casually, ingesting the sugary treat whilst next to me. The sunlight clearly bothers her greatly as well, hence she thenceforth reaches out to adjust the angle of her parasol to block out all of the rays.距离我最近的AA-12正娴熟地撕掉棒棒糖包装纸,开始摄入糖分。 阳光显然也让她很不自在,便伸手调整身边遮阳伞的角度,把光线完全挡了下来。

CommanderRelax, AA-12. This is meant to be a vacation. ...You don't have to worry about anything, at least for today.放轻松点,AA12,现在是休假时间。 ……最起码今天不用担心什么。

That's right, the only thing on today's schedule...is to enjoy a day-off by the sea.没错,今天的活动只有海滨休假……而已。

Three days ago, in the Griffin Command Center.——三天前,格里芬指挥室。

CommanderA seaside holiday?海滨休假?

KalinaOf course~ I'm not joking.当然~这可不是在开玩笑哦。

CommanderIsn't the commission about eliminating any potential risks on the remote island?这份委托书不是要求我们去排除孤岛上可能存在的风险吗?

KalinaMost certainly, but according to satellite images I have reviewed, the island has been uninhabited since the end of the last century, either from some environmental hazards or some form of mass migration. Nevertheless, after decades of being left alone, it has reverted to its natural state, with barely any traces of human civilization.是啊,不过昨天我调查了卫星图像,发现不管是环境恶化还是人口调动的原因,这里从上世纪末开始就没人居住了。 经过几十年的沉淀,这座岛屿又回归到了自然状态,几乎看不到任何人类文明的痕迹。

CommanderThat was the case until recently, when a geological expedition team discovered rich mineral deposits there. The developer who purchased the island thus wants us to dispatch Dolls to make sure it is secure enough to build mines there. That's all made clear in the commission's documentation.所以直到最近,地质勘探队在这里发现了丰富的矿物资源,购岛的开发商才让我们派遣人形确保岛上的安全,好让他们建造矿场。 委托书上的内容很明确。

KalinaThe. Point. Is. Over 90% of the island's landmass is occupied by forests and all man-made constructions have all been consumed by nature. Not even Sangvis Ferri would be interested in a place like that. The only possible risk there is the local wildlife, don't you think? A mission to eliminate potential hazards on the island won't take longer than a day. So you can all enjoy a proper holiday in the remaining time~!关!键!是! 在森林重新占回全岛面积百分之九十以上的现在,岛上一切设施都都被大自然吞没了,就算是铁血也不会对这里产生任何兴趣。 非要说风险,就是那边可能有很多野生动物吧? 这种环境下的搜查排险任务,一天时间完全富余。 至于剩下的时间嘛,自然是能在海边好好享受一次休假啦~!

Commander...You have a point.……听你这么说好像也没什么问题。

KalinaHumph, if I didn't have more combat reports to write, I'd love to come with you!哼,如果不是还有作战报告书要写,我还想跟着一起去呢!

CommanderAhem...咳……

KalinaOf course, you've been having a much rougher time on the frontlines, and it's been ages since you've had a break. So why don't you wrap up the job as fast as you can and just relax?当然,在前线的您其实更辛苦,而且一直没有休假。 所以为什么不趁这次机会早点完成委托,然后放松一下呢?

Commander... It seems that it was a wise choice for everyone to bring their swimsuits.…… 看来让大家带上泳衣倒也没错。

Taking the commission seriously, we spent an entire day scouring the island for any possible safety hazards. But, as Kalina surmised, there is nothing apart from trees, sand, seawater and a myriad of wild animals here. Rather than "an island with potential safety hazards", this place is more like "a beautiful holiday hotspot".出于对委托的重视,我们在登岛之后用一整天的时间来排查风险。 但正如格琳娜所说,这里除了树、沙子和海水之外,再多的也不过是各种野生动物。 比起所谓“潜伏着危险的岛屿”,眼下这环境更适合用“美丽的度假胜地”来形容。

M37Commander, make sure not to even budge a muscle! This masterpiece that only I am capable of creating is nigh complete!指挥官,千万不要动哦,只有我能够创作的艺术品还差一点就要大功告成了!

M1 GarandHuh? Ithaca, don't you think that's a bit too much sand over there?哎?伊萨卡,你那边堆得有点多了吧?

That's right. I'm lying down on my back because Ithaca and Garand are making a game out of burying me in the sand. Since they look so happy, I'll roll with it just a bit longer.对了,刚才之所以躺着,是因为伊萨卡和加兰德正拿我的身体玩“沙滩埋人”的游戏…… 看她们乐在其中的样子,还是再多配合一会儿吧。

While I'm being buried, I direct my attention to the other end of the beach where the Dolls are enjoying the holiday in their own ways...这段时间,我的注意力放在了海滩一侧,人形们都在享受各自的休假……

QJY-88I wonder if my newly modified waterproof accessories will work...hmm?不知道新改造的防水配件能不能起作用……咦?

Z-62Hmm, I need this part, but where would I even find it out here today?唔,虽然需要这个零件,但今天在户外果然不好找到……

QJY-88Miss Z-62, is something wrong with your weapon?Z62小姐,你的武器出问题了吗?

Z-62Huh? Oh, t-there's nothing wrong.诶?啊,没、没什么。

QJY-88If it's weapon maintenance, then maybe I could be of help?如果是武器保养的话,也许我可以帮忙?

Z-62N-No thanks. I'll manage on my own, I think...不,不用了,谢谢,我自己可以的,大概……

QJY-88Eh...really? T-Then, I'll leave you to it.诶……是吗?那、那我就不打扰你了。

Z-62Yeah, sorry.嗯,不好意思。

Z-62I didn't think I'd be seen here... I almost caused trouble for someone else too. Guess I'll just find a quiet spot and read.在这里居然会被注意到……而且差点给人添麻烦。 还是找个安静的地方看看书吧。

SpringfieldZ-62~ You brought your weapon along to the beach?Z62~今天在海边也带着武器吗?

Z-62I-I was just holding it and didn't put it down... Uh, excuse me.只、只是刚好拿着……呃,失礼了。

SpringfieldHold on, I've made some muffins... ...Wow, she's fast.等等,我准备了烤松饼…… ……跑得真快。

Type 95Puffy clouds crown the mountain top~♪ Shielding the woods from view~♪绵绵密密的乌云堆满山顶~♪笼罩着那山顶上的树林~♪

SpringfieldWow, I didn't expect to hear Miss Type 95's singing.真难得,居然能听到95式小姐唱歌。

Type 95It's been a while since I've seen such beautiful scenery. It puts me in such a good mood I just can't help but sing a little.好久没看到过这样的风景了,心情一下子变得好起来,所以稍微唱两句。

SpringfieldI see. But you don't plan on swimming?原来如此,不过你不打算游泳吗?

Type 95I'm not actually too good at it. Besides, 97 keeps warning me about the dangers in the water, so I'm okay with just getting a bit of sun on the beach.我不太擅长游泳,而且97也反复念叨,说是怕在水里遇到危险,只在海边晒晒太阳就足够了。

SpringfieldWhat a shame... Speaking of which, is there any sunscreen you recommend?真可惜……说到这个,有什么推荐的防晒产品吗?

Type 95I've bought this brand recently. The ingredients seem to be very effective even on our bodies.我最近买的这个牌子,从成分上看,对素体也能起到很好的保护作用哦。

SpringfieldWow~ I never thought there could be a product this good! Let me give it a try~!哇~没想到还有这样的产品,我也试试看吧~!

SPAS-12Hey, I've brought the watermelon over! Should we cut it open and eat it now?喂——我把西瓜带来咯,现在就切了吃吗?

Five-sevenWait, just eating it is such a waste!等一下,直接吃掉是不是太浪费了?

SPAS-12What do you mean? It's only a waste if you don't eat it, right?哪有,不吃才浪费吧?

Five-sevenBe patient. Let me show you something fun...别急嘛,我教给你个好玩的……

CommanderStrange. When was the last time I had a holiday?奇怪,上次的休假是哪天来着?

AA-12What are you up to now?你又想搞什么花样?

CommanderI was merely thinking about the fact that all of a sudden, there's nothing for me to worry about. No need to endure the scent of gunfire and charred earth, no need to desperately struggle for survival. Relaxing like this just makes me feel uneasy. Just yesterday, I yearned so much for peace when I was fighting, but now that it's so peaceful, I'm starting to feel like I'm not needed anymore. Perhaps a peaceful world simply doesn't suit me...or perhaps I've grown so used to strife and violence that I can no longer live in peace?只是觉得突然不再担心任何事,不用忍受硝烟和泥土的味道,不需要在绝境中挣扎—— 这种完全放松的状态让我有点不自在,好像昨天还在战斗中渴望和平,而今天身处和平的环境里,反而开始害怕不再被需要一样。 大概和平的世界根本不适合我,或者说,我已经不适应和平的生活了?

AA-12Stop worrying about nothing...瞎操心……

AA-12 mutters nonchalantly. I seem to have exhausted her patience.AA-12用满不在乎的语气咕哝着,看起来她完全不想搭理我了。

With my body buried in sand under direct sunlight, it's starting to feel warm and toasty. The Dolls' cheerful chatter and laughter weave together into a lovely lullaby swirling around my ears, putting me to sleep.埋在身上的沙子在阳光照射下,开始产生温热的感觉,人形们的欢声笑语交织成了一首美妙的摇篮曲,在耳畔萦绕不去,让我产生了睡意。

Commander?!!?

CommanderThe sound of some kind of cold weapon slicing through an object wakes me with a jolt. Then an icy thing rolls into my face – it's half of the watermelon that has just been chopped.某种冷兵器开瓢的声音让我惊起一身冷汗,随后一个冰凉的物体贴在了我的脸上——那是被劈成两半的西瓜的其中一块。

CommanderA Damascus steel axe?大马士革钢斧?

The axe landed just a hand's width away from my head, and its wielder, SPAS-12, is laughing gleefully with a blindfold over her eyes?这东西距离我的脑袋只有一个巴掌宽,而手握着它的SPAS-12正蒙着眼睛,好像笑得很开心?

SPAS-12I think I got it, Five-seven?我感觉劈到了,57?

Five-sevenWoohoo! Wow, you actually did it! C'est superbe! Hang on, isn't this the Commander?!来啦来啦~哇!真的劈到了,好厉害……等等,这不是指挥官吗!?

SPAS-12What?! Did I chop the Commander?!诶!?劈到的是指挥官吗!?

CommanderYou would have if the axe had struck a couple of inches to the left! What the hell are you doing?!再偏一点就是了! 你们在干什么?

Five-sevenWe were playing...Smash the Watermelon... Sorry, Commander! You're very easy to miss whilst in the sand. Here, have some watermelon. W-We'll be going then!玩……劈西瓜游戏…… 抱歉指挥官!您把身子都埋进沙子里就真的很难发现,西瓜给您吃,我、我们先走了!

By the time I squirm my way out of the sand, Five-seven, who's in very big trouble, has already run off with SPAS-12 in tow. Staring at the chopped-up watermelon on the ground, I'm overwhelmed by the lingering shock from my near-death experience.等我从沙子里艰难地钻出来,闯祸的Five-seveN就已经拉着SPAS-12跑远了。 看着地上被劈开的西瓜,我心里只剩下重获新生的余悸。

Commander... Perhaps I shouldn't waste too much time pondering philosophical questions concerning things like war and peace.…… 战争与和平,还是别在这种哲学问题上花费太多时间了。

SerdyukovCommander!指挥官!

CommanderI'm okay, Serdyukov. Keep an eye on the Dolls playing in water.我已经没事了,谢尔久科夫,去看好那些玩水的人形吧。

SerdyukovNo, I-I've detected some unidentified enemy signals.不是的,我、我侦测到了不明敌对信号。

CommanderUnidentified enemy signals? How is that possible?! Has anyone landed on the island?不明敌对信号?怎么可能!? 是有什么人登岛了吗?

SerdyukovNo, the signals originate from within the forest... They seemed to have hidden their tracks very well yesterday, but it's also my fault for not looking more closely into the details. I'm very sorry...!不,信号源在森林内部…… 看起来昨天对方的隐蔽十分出色,但也是我没能更多地注意细节,十分抱歉……!

CommanderDon't beat yourself up over it. We'll figure out how this happened later. Gather the other Dolls and prepare for an assault!别放在心上,具体原因之后再找。联络其他人形,准备迎敌!

... Three days ago, in the Griffin dorms.…… ——三天前,格里芬宿舍。

Alone in her dorm, MDR is typing rapidly on her phone.独自窝在宿舍里的MDR正把手机按得哒哒响。

MDRAh...哈……

MDRAAAH-CHOOOO!哈——啾——!

MDR(Sniffs) I really should turn off my biological reflex module! No, wait, doesn't this mean someone's thinking of me? It can't be the Commander, can it? Ahahahahahahaha, what a thought!嘶……真该把生理反应模块给关掉! 不对,这好像意味着有人在想我? 该不会是指挥官吧,啊哈哈哈哈哈,要是真的就太好玩了!

R93MDR? Isn't it time you returned the sunglasses I lent you?MDR?之前借给你的太阳镜该还给我了吧?

R93Why are you looking at me with such a disappointed face?干嘛一脸失望又嫌弃的表情看着我?

MDR...I just wasn't expecting it to be you. Uh, what were you saying?……只是没想到会是你,呃,你刚才说什么?

R93...My sunglasses. The ones with a lucky symbol on the temple.……我的太阳镜啊,眼镜腿上刻着幸运符号的那个。

MDRHave I borrowed them? Hold on, let me look for them... Say, why have you started looking for them out of the blue?我原来借过那种东西吗?等等,让我找一下…… 话说你怎么突然想起它了?

R93We have a mission on an island tomorrow, right? The Commander said we could bring along our swimsuit, so...明天的行动不是去一座岛上嘛? 指挥官说可以带上泳衣,所以……

MDROh, right. That island mentioned in the thread. I know, I know.哦~对对,那个叫什么加尔加的……不,反正是帖子上说的那座岛,知道知道。

R93You don't sound very jealous.你好像不是很羡慕嘛。

MDRI'm actually more interested in the legend about the "treasure that can change your fortune" on the island.比起那个,我更好奇的是岛上有关“转运宝藏”的传说。

MDRThe discussion regarding the evidence and findings about the legend I had with someone else made the thread ten pages long...为此我还在帖子里跟别人刷了快有十页的考据……

R93Treasure that can change your fortune?转运宝藏?

MDRYep, caught your attention, didn't I? A luck-changing treasure! Apparently, if you find it, it will rewrite all your misfortunes and you'll have nothing but good luck and smooth sailing for the rest of your life!对了,搞不好你会有兴趣,转运宝藏! 据说发现它的话,能改写一切不幸的命运,从此人生永远是上坡路,一辈子走好运了!

R93It... It's not like my life is so unfortunate, right?! But if there really is such a thing, it might be worth it...?我、我这边也谈不上不幸吧!? 不过居然有转运宝藏这种东西,也许值得赌一把……?

MDRHa, found your sunglasses! What did you say again?哈,眼镜找到了!你刚才说什么?

R93So where's that treasure?那个转运宝藏现在在哪里?

MDRIf I knew, it wouldn't a legend! Look at this satellite map. You see this huge forest on the island? Since it's a treasure, it must be hidden in secret places like that!我要是知道就不叫传说了! 看看卫星地图,那岛上不是有大片的森林吗?既然是宝藏,肯定会在那种隐秘的地方了!

R93You think so? But if I'm not lucky enough to find it...真会在那种地方吗? 要是运气不好,找不到的话……

MDRI'm sure it isn't in the sea. Here, take your glasses. Who knows, maybe this lucky symbol might just help you find it.反正不会在海里就是了。 来~眼镜拿好,说不定这上面的幸运符号真能帮你找到它呢?

... Three days later, on a stretch of beach far away from the Commander.…… ——三天后,远离指挥官的另一片海滩。

R93 takes out her sunglasses and puts them on her head.R93取出太阳镜戴在了头上。

R93I'm counting on you... grant me all the luck in the world!借你吉言……给我带来好运吧!

P38What?什么?

R93Nothing, nothing at all~ Are you ready?没什么没什么~ 准备好了吧?

P38I've been ready since we got here! Luck-changing treasure~! If we can really find it, then I'll be No.1 to the Commander...no, perhaps even the whole of Griffin! Thanks for bringing me along, R93!从登岛开始就准备好了! 转运宝藏~!如果真能找到它,那我在指挥官面前……不,搞不好就是全格里芬人气NO.1了! R93,谢谢你带上我!

R93I brought you here because you were so fired up. Not that I could ever tell you that.正因为这么有动力才叫上你的,虽然不能明说就是了。

P38Still, are we not telling the Commander about this? If we get caught for acting without permission...不过,真的不告诉指挥官吗? 如果被发现擅自行动的话……

R93Ugh, I didn't have the best of memories from my last beach escapade... So this time, we mustn't tell the Commander until victory is guaranteed!咳,上次有点不太美好的回忆…… 所以,这次起码要有必胜把握了再告诉指挥官!

P38You mean that time when your bikini top got hooked away and you had to hide?就是被鱼钩勾走泳装结果不得不躲起来的那次吧?

R93Wait... How did you know about that!?等……你怎么知道!?

P38You know that thread about the beach volleyball match on the Griffin anonymous forum? The person who keeps going on and on about how good bullpup rifles are shared this piece of gossip and even posted a picture of your sunglasses.上次在格里芬匿名版上有个排球比赛的话题,那个经常赞美无托结构步枪的家伙就分享了这么个小道消息,还贴了张你这太阳镜的照片。

R93I think I know who you're talking about...我大概知道是谁了……

P38So did it actually happen?所以是真的?

R93Don't be so hung up over that, the treasure is more important. Let's go!现在还是别纠结它了,寻宝要紧,走吧!

Five minutes later...五分钟后……

R93Ugh...these messy branches are all over the place. I know nature has reclaimed this island for decades, but this practically looks like a primeval forest.呜……这些乱七八糟的枝杈也太多了。 虽然知道这里自然恢复了几十年,但怎么看都跟原始森林没区别了。

P38Not to mention how spooky it is...而且,好阴森啊……

R93True. Reminds me of a horror film set in a dark and gloomy forest like this. It's about this person who gets lost in the forest. Then a spirit suddenly appears and...是挺阴森的,这让我想起一部以这种幽暗密林为背景的恐怖电影。 讲的是一个不小心闯进森林的家伙,被突然出现的幽灵给……

P38W-Why are you suddenly telling me a horror story?!干、干嘛突然讲鬼故事!?

R93It just came up. What's wrong?就随口说说呀,怎么了?

R93 looks back at P38, who has an expression of absolute terror on her face.R93回头看了看P38,后者已经把害怕的情绪完美地表现在脸上了。

R93P38, don't tell me...you're scared of ghosts?P38,你该不会……是害怕幽灵吧?

P38Uh... Uh...Ha! Ha! Ha! No way, we're T-Dolls! Besides, scientifically speaking, ghosts can't possibly be real, right? RIGHT?!啊…… 啊——哈!哈!哈! 怎么可能,我们可是战术人形。 而且从科学上来讲,哪里会有什么幽灵嘛,对吧?对吧!?

R93Hmm?嗯——?

P38I-In any case, let's hurry up and find the treasure, then get the hell outta here!总、总之,我们快点找到宝藏,然后离开这里吧!

P38 takes a deep breath and marches on with great determination. R93 follows suit. As she stares at P38's back, an idea suddenly occurs to her...P38深吸一口气,像是下定决心一般地向前走去,而跟随其后的R93盯着对方的后背突发奇想……

R93Poke.我戳。

P38AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!呀啊啊啊啊啊——!

The scream sends flocks of birds flying through the foliage. The poke in the back seems to have overloaded P38, as she dashes forward in a frenzy and disappears into the trees...尖叫声惊起了森林中一片鸟群,被戳到后背的P38仿佛心智过载一般,直直向前狂奔起来,然后消失在了森林深处……

R93...She WAS scared, after all. Sigh. Hopefully, luck's on my side and I can find the treasure.……根本就是害怕嘛。 唉,希望运气好一点,能快点找到宝藏吧。

Wheel of Fortune · Stage 2-1 (start) 时来运转 · 2-1(前)

Read this chapter with voices →

... The last target has been shot down and peace is restored to the beach.…… 最后一个目标被击倒了,海滩上重归寂静。

CommanderThat was unexpected.没想到还会发生这种插曲。

As I watch the Dolls inspecting the battlefield, I recall Kalina's promise of a peaceful holiday and feel a sense of déjà vu.看着人形们开始检查战场,我品味起格琳娜三天前给打的包票,才发现这其中有点似曾相识的味道。

CommanderWoe is me, but at least it's over...苦啊,不过总算是结束了……

Gr G41's VoiceDidn't see that coming, did you? I'm gonna show you what I've really got!没想到吧,这次绝对要让你刮目相看!

Commander...I hope?……吧?

C-MS's VoiceYou dare challenge me? You've got guts, I'll give you that much at least. TAKE THAT!竟敢对我发起挑战,胆子不小嘛,看我这招!

Gr G41's VoiceAhahahahaha~!呀哈哈哈哈~!

We've picked a relatively clean section of the beach for our holiday spot, sandwiched in between two clusters of reefs that are easily taller than a person. The commotion seems to be coming from behind them.我们的休假地选在了一片相对干净的沙滩上,两侧实际还有许多赶上一人多高的礁石,而声音的源头就来自礁石对面。

Since this morning, the girls have been running around causing a ruckus like birds let out of their cages. Everyone completely lets themselves loose, probably because it's a hard-earned vacation – they're so relaxed they didn't even notice the fight that just took place over there. The splashing waves and the sound of merrymaking starkly contrast the tense atmosphere after the recent battle, creating the illusion of two entirely different worlds.从今天早上开始,她们就像离开笼子的小鸟一样到处跑闹。 恐怕还是因为休假的原因,大家完全放开了——甚至连这边打起来了都没注意到。 听着玩闹声与海浪声相衬,和这边刚刚经历过战斗的氛围完全相异,恍惚间甚至有种我们和她们完全在两个世界的感觉。

CommanderI remember they even brought toys for a water fight...?我记得她们还带了打水仗的玩具……?

SerdyukovCommander, all targets eliminated. That was some brilliant leadership, Commander!指挥官,所有目标已经确认歼灭,真是出色的指挥!

Before I can reply, Serdyukov notices the Dolls who are still completely oblivious.看我没有答复,谢尔久科夫也终于注意到这片海滩上还有个别完全不在状态的人形。

CommanderLook at those little sparrows chirping and having fun.那群小麻雀唧唧喳喳的,玩得很开心嘛。

SerdyukovSorry, Commander. Their comms module seem to have been deactivated when the emergency hails were issued. Probably because they're playing in the water...抱歉,指挥官,刚才紧急呼叫的时候发现她们的通讯模块都关闭着,大概是玩水的缘故吧……

CommanderIt did happen completely out of the blue, so this isn't exactly a case of dereliction of duty, but we must all remain vigilant while we learn more about our enemy. Besides, it's not a good thing to lose one's head like that – they probably don't even remember today is Thursday.本来也是突发状况,所以算不上漠视命令,但查清敌人来路之前必须保持警惕。 而且玩昏了头总归不像话,恐怕她们连今天星期四也不记得了。

SerdyukovCommander, it's Friday today.指挥官,今天是星期五哦。

CommanderHmm?嗯?

SerdyukovHmm? Oh...!嗯? 啊……!

CommanderAhem... Scout the surroundings while I call them back.咳……侦查一下周边情况,我去叫她们回来。

Serdyukov tactfully catches up with her fellow Dolls and starts venturing deeper into the island. I watch as they disappear into the distance and let out a sigh. Once I go around the reefs, I see the group of little sparrows gleefully fighting their own "war" on the beach.谢尔久科夫识趣地跟上其他人形,开始向岛内深入搜索。 目送她们离开后,我叹了口气,绕过沙滩一侧的礁石,就看见那群在浅滩上欢腾的小麻雀们正进行着属于她们的“战争”。

Gr G41Heheheh, I'm gonna pay you back double!嘻嘻嘻,刚才的份我要加倍奉还!

C-MSO-only if you catch me~!就、就看你能不能追到我了~!

The two girls are locked in a chase with pure smiles on their faces, as if they lived in a world with no more strife...两个小家伙的脸上挂着毫无杂念的笑容,一前一后追赶着,仿佛这个世界已经不会再发生战争……

CommanderUh.呃。

I look around to make sure that neither SPAS-12 nor the Damascus steel axe is around and sigh in relief... I'd better stop thinking about stupid things. I don't want to interrupt them, but this really isn't the time to fool around.左右看了看,确认SPAS-12和大马士革钢斧都不在,总算松了口气…… 还是别想这些没用的了,虽然有点不忍心打扰,但现在真不是玩闹的时候。

CommanderAlright, that's it for today. Assemble over there at once!好了,今天到此为止,马上到那边沙滩上集合!

... Those two are still frolicking.…… 两小只依然在打闹。

CommanderThey haven't turned off their auditory module as well, have they?不至于连听觉模块也关闭了吧?

C-MSOh, Commander! You're right on time! Come with me!啊!指挥官你来的刚好,快给我上!

Gr G41It's no use to hide! Commencing counterattack~!躲起来也没用的,反击开始~!

CommanderCounter what...? Hold on, why are you running towards me?!反什么击……等等,怎么冲我来了!?

C-MSAs my subordinate, it's your job to sacrifice yourself! I'll remember you!身为部下,当然要主动牺牲自己了,我会记住你的!

CommanderI didn't agree to being your meat shield...我可没说要给你当肉盾……

Gr G41Dammit! How dare you use Master like that? I won't forgive you! Take this!可恶,居然利用主人,我不会放过你的,看这招!

CommanderYour "this" hit me square in the face! Wait, what did you put in the water pistol?“这招”可打我脸上了! 等等,你这水枪里面装的什么?

Gr G41 and C-MS are so into pushing me around it's practically impossible to reason with them, and I suddenly find myself yanked over to the water.我被G41和C-MS推搡着,玩闹的劲头让我根本无法和她们沟通,就这么硬拖硬拽,最后竟然把我拖到了浅滩里。

FALCommander? I didn't expect you to enjoy such childish games. I guess I'll have to lower my expectations.指挥官?没想到你会喜欢这种小孩子的游戏,果然是我太高看你了。

CommanderSays you, who's holding a water gun yourself? Listen here, things aren't looking good on that side of the beach. I need you to...抱着水枪说这种话? 听好了,海滩那边情况不太妙,我要你们……

Gr G41Ahahahahaha!呀哈哈哈哈——!

CommanderPlease...let me finish!麻烦……让我把话说完!

4 ShikiI've never seen the Commander so lively. I must document this for future reference! Show me more! More! I-I'm coming too!这么有精神的指挥官,吾辈还是第一次看到。 绝对要作为素材保存下来,再多一些,再多一些! 吾、吾辈也来了!

For whatever reason, I seem to have become everyone's target. Waves and jets of water splash everywhere and have me completely disoriented. As the attack subsides a little, I finally manage to catch a glimpse of the beach, but I also see a small object flying straight at me...不知道为什么,我似乎成了她们的集火目标。 泼水攻击伴着海浪,惹得水花四溅,一度让我看不清周围的情况。 而当攻势缓和一些,我视线终于确认了海滩的位置时,却看到一粒细小的物体迎面飞来……

Smack! This thing hits me on the forehead like a bullet. Its strong momentum actually knocks me off-balance and I topple backwards.啪! 这东西像子弹一样打在我的脑门上,强劲的力量竟让我的身子失去了平衡,并向后倒去。

AmeliOh no! Where did my button go?!呀——!我的纽扣飞到哪里去了!?

Oh boy. Before I can even utter this, I'm completely submerged in the cold seawater. The currents swirl around me and drag my body into the deep. As I'm still struggling to find my equilibrium, I feel the back of my head hitting something hard, then I lose consciousness...完蛋了! 还来不及说出这句话,我整个人没进了冰冷的海浪中。 在海浪的卷动下,我的身体被暗流拉扯到了深水处。 还没来得及保持住平衡时,我感到后脑突然撞到了什么坚硬的东西,而后失去了意识……

SerdyukovCommander, we've finished searching the perimeters. Are you still not ready? ...Where's the Commander?指挥官,周边已经检查完毕了,这边还没好吗? ……人呢?指挥官没到这里来吗?

Gr G41Huh? You're right, Master is gone! The Commander was here just a second ago!咦?真的,主人不见了,刚才还在这里的!

C-MSMust be hiding!一定是躲起来了!

4 ShikiHuh? Does the Commander know how to swim?诶?指挥官有没有说过不会游泳?

FALThat doesn't matter because the problem is pretty obvious, don't you think? The Commander is drowning!不管会不会,问题不是很明显了吗? 指挥官溺水了!

Gr G41Drowning?! O-oh no! Master, I'm coming to save you!溺水!? 不、不好了,主人,我马上来救你!

C-MSI can't let anything happen to my precious subordinate!可不能让我重要的部下有危险!

4 ShikiHold on, the waves are getting too strong!等等,现在浪太大了!

SerdyukovDon't panic and don't rush it! We must keep calm right now! Hailing all Dolls. Hailing all Dolls! The Commander is in danger! Please rally at my location!不要急,不要急,这时候一定要稳住才行! 呼叫所有人形,呼叫所有人形。 指挥官遇到危险了,请尽快集合到我的位置来!

AmeliOh, they're coming!啊,有人来了!

SerdyukovSo soon? No, those are enemy units!这么快……不,是敌方单位!

FALAt a time like this? What awful timing.偏偏这个时候来,真是不懂得看气氛。

SerdyukovWe didn't pick up any signals in our recent search though... Anyway, we need to put together a counterattack right away!刚才检查的时候明明没有侦测到任何信号……不对,必须赶紧反击才行!

SerdyukovOur reinforcements are going to arrive soon! Let's eliminate the immediate threat in the meantime!大家,支援立刻就到,先排除眼前的危险吧!

In the forest, R93 and P38's treasure hunt is still in progress...森林内,R93和P38的寻宝仍在继续……

R93Why would the first step of a treasure hunt be looking for a lost companion? And how did P38 run off so fast on such uneven terrain?为什么寻宝的第一步是要找回跑丢的同伴啊? 这么崎岖的路,P38是怎么跑那么快的?

Of course, walking in the forest, there is no answer to R93's questions other than birdsong and the sound of rustling trees.当然,走在森林当中,除了海风吹动树冠的声音和鸟鸣以外,没有任何人能回答R93的疑问。

R93I wonder if the Commander has noticed our absence yet. (Sighs) I really shouldn't have teased her. Such a waste of time... Huh?现在这个点,也不知道指挥官发现我们不在了没有。 哈——早知道就不逗她了,这么平白无故地浪费时间…… 诶?

As R93 walks on while muttering to herself, she gradually starts hearing a familiar scream. Then she sees P38 running back, looking even more terrified.边走边抱怨的R93渐渐地又听到了熟悉的尖叫,她清楚地看到P38狂奔了回来,表情比刚才还要夸张。

P38R-R93!R、R93——!

R93You're so loud! Jeez... I just teased you a little bit, you didn't have to be this scared.声音太大了! 哈……刚刚就是逗你一下,不至于吓成这个样子吧?

P38Th-that's not it! Over there!不、不是这个,那边,那边!

P38 hides behind R93 and points in the direction she came from.P38跑过来马上躲到R93身后,并指着她来的方向。

R93What's over there? Did you find the treasure?!那边怎么了?难道你发现宝藏了!?

P38N-n-n-no!不不不,不是的!

R93No...? Then what is it? Don't tell me you found a ghost?不是……那是什么? 你不会想说你发现幽灵了吧?

P38It's a sea monster! Th-there's a sea monster over there!是海怪!那边、那边有海怪!

R93A sea monster? That doesn't sound any scarier than a ghost.海怪?听起来也不比幽灵吓人嘛。

P38This isn't a horror story! There is an actual sea monster! For real! I just stepped on it! It was really slimy and gross!我没讲鬼故事! 是真的海怪!真的!我刚刚还踩到它了,黏糊糊的超恶心!

R93As if that could happen... Hold on, if you really came across a sea monster, it might be a good omen? Let's go check it out!怎么会有这种事…… 等等,要是真的连海怪都能发现,兴许是好兆头? 我们去看看吧!

P38What?! Shouldn't we go back to the others?哎!?我们不回去吗?

R93It might lead us to something. Isn't it how all legends go? Monsters guard treasures, or something like that.去看看说不定能发现什么。 不是经常有那种传说嘛,守护宝藏的怪物什么的。

P38So we have to fight it? No thanks!还得跟它战斗?不了吧!?

R93Let's go and have a look. Just a look. But I have a feeling we're in luck!先去看看,就看看。 但我觉得这次真的要走好运了!

With a very reluctant P38 in tow, R93 marches straight ahead. They soon arrive at the edge of the forest. In front of them is a beach with a lot of reefs around. R93 watches as a red crab crawls past her heel and into a giant wad of seagrass. Then...the wad of seagrass twitches.带着不情不愿的P38,R93径直朝前走,没过多久便到了森林的尽头。 这里一样是片海滩,但散布着许多礁石,R93看到一只通体红色的海蟹从自己脚跟前爬开,钻进了一团海草里,然后…… 海草团抽搐了一下。

P38That's it! That's the monster!就是那个!就是那个!

R93You mean this wad of seagrass?你说那团海草?

P38That is most definitely not seagrass! We should strike first and kill it!那绝对不是海草! 要不我们先发制人把它干掉吧!

R93At least let me see what it is.起码先确认一下是什么东西吧。

R93 draws a little closer to observe this "sea monster". Looking at its size, this monster is actually bigger than R93 herself. It's not entirely covered in seagrass either. The figure actually looks a little human.R93稍稍走近一点来观察这只“海怪”。 直接从块头上来看,海怪的个头倒是真的比自己还要大,而且海草也不是覆盖全身。 要从整个外形上来看,反而更像是个人类。

P38C-could it be an ELID?会、会不会是ELID呢?

R93 and P38 exchange a glance, then they each pick up a rock and throw it at the figure... It doesn't react. But as they inch a little closer, the "sea monster" suddenly extends two arms and grabs the Dolls by their ankles.R93和P38对视了一眼,然后捡起沙滩上一块石头丢过去……不像刚才那样有反应。 然而再走近些的时候,“海怪”突然挣扎起来,并伸出两只手紧紧抓住了R93和P38的脚踝。

Sea Monster?GUAAAAAGH!呃啊啊啊啊——!

P38Whoa!哇——!

R93Aaaaah!呀——!

The sudden attack gives R93 and P38 no time to draw their weapons, so they resort to the most suitable countermeasure—被突然袭击吓到的R93和P38根本来不及使用武器,只好用了最适合当下的应对措施——

Griffin CQC...格里芬CQC……

A combat technique for extremely dangerous situations where weapons are inaccessible. While it's only relied upon in emergencies, the techniques have not deteriorated in these dolls at all. Quite fortunately, the sea monster isn't as formidable as it looks. R93 and P38's counterattack has it easily beaten.在失去武器且极端危险情况下才会使用的格斗技,此刻一点都没落下。 万幸的是,这只海怪并没有看上去那么强大,在R93和P38的反击下,它被轻松打倒了。

R93(Pants)哈……哈……

P38I-is it dead?它、它怎么样了?

R93We didn't hit it in any fatal spots.还没打到要害上。

P38R93, um... It felt kinda strange.R93,那个……我刚才感觉怪怪的。

R93What?什么?

P38Don't you think its voice just now sounded familiar?你不觉得它刚才的声音很耳熟吗?

P38's observation puts R93 in a brief daze. R93 compares the sea monster's voice with audio files stored in her neural cloud. Upon finding a match, her pupils start quivering and her lips twists into a stiff grin. As if to prove her suspicion, P38 picks up a twig to lift up the seagrass... ...and reveals an unmistakably familiar human...P38的提醒让R93呆滞了一下。 大概是在自己的心智中比对到了吻合的音频记录,她的瞳孔开始抖动,脸上浮起了不自然的笑容。 像是帮忙证实她的猜测一样,P38捡起一根树枝,将海怪身上的海草挑了起来。 盖在下面的果然是她们最熟悉的那个人类……

P38C-Commander?!指、指挥官!?

P38 tosses away the twig immediately and props the Commander up in her arms.扔掉树枝的P38立刻撑起指挥官的上身,然后抱进臂弯里。

P38How...how... How did this happen?为什么为什么…… 怎么会这样?

R93P38...P38……

P38Who beat you up this badly?!是谁把您打成这个样子的!

R93It was you!!!是你啊!!!

After some emergency first-aid, the Commander seems to have recovered a little, much to R93 and P38's relief.经过一番急救,看到指挥官的脸色稍有缓和之后,R93与P38总算放下心来。

R93Thank goodness we were busy with trying to get away and didn't actually go all out. The seagrass also provided some buffer so the injuries aren't too bad.还好刚才只是想着脱身,没怎么下重手,再加上海草做缓冲,就没什么严重的伤。

P38But why was the Commander lying in such a place? Th-there couldn't be any more dangers around, right?可是,为什么指挥官会躺在这种地方? 该、该不会是那边有什么危险了吧?

R93Guess we'll have to find out when the Commander comes to...hmm?这得先等指挥官醒过来才知道了……嗯?

R93's attention is drawn to something that got washed up next to the heap of seagrass. It's an envelope covered in moss and barnacles. It seems to have been waterproofed, but due to the long years it spent underwater, R93 still pours out a considerable amount of sea water on the envelope. Plus a map.R93的注意力被刚刚扔在一旁的海草里的东西吸引了。 那是个被藻类和藤壶覆盖的文件袋,尽管看上去做过防水处理,但也许年深日久的缘故,R93仍然从里面倒出了一些海水。 和一张地图。

P38Huh, is this...?!咦,这是!?

R93... It's real! The luck-changing treasure does exist! The scale of fortune is tipping in our favor!…… 真的,看来是真的,转运宝藏确有其事! 幸运天平开始向我们倾斜了!

P38R93, your eyes are practically glowing...R93,你的眼睛都开始发光了哦……

P38 studies the map that R93 just unfolded. Having been soaked in water for so long, the surface of the paper is rather blurry, but one can still make out the shape of the island... ...and the clear red star marking a spot in the center of the island.P38看了看R93面前被铺开的地图。 因为遭到浸泡的缘故,纸面已经模糊不清,但依然可以看出岛屿的轮廓。 以及岛屿中央唯一被标注的,依然清晰的红色五角星。

... This is...the sensation of sunlight piercing through my eyelids.

As I start regaining my consciousness, I can once again hear the splashing sea waves. I'm too weak to move my body. My arms feel like they're being crushed by something heavy, I can't even lift them to shield my eyes from the light.

... What's with this feeling of déjà vu?

No sooner had this question come to mind did I start feeling something lodged inside my chest. After a violent bout of coughing, I open my eyes.

P38Commander, you're finally awake! R93!指挥官,您终于醒了! R93!

R93Phew... That's a relief.哈……总算放心了。

CommanderR93...?R93……?

P38Commander, shouldn't you have said my name first?指挥官,起码先喊我的名字吧?

R93Is this really the problem...?干嘛要纠结这种问题……

CommanderHold on, I remember I was just... No, what happened? Where am I?等等,我记得我刚才……不,发生了什么,这里是哪儿?

P38Uh, we're searching for...啊,我们在寻……

R93P38 and I are investigating a few undeveloped areas on the island!我和P38正在对岛上几块未开发区域进行调查!

P38Huh...? Oh! That's right, we're investigating the undeveloped areas, yes~诶……啊! 没错,我们是来调查未开发区域的哟~

The two Dolls are definitely up to something, but I don't have the energy to dwell on that right now as all my attention is drawn to my own body. I'm in a lot of pain, as if I just got beaten up... Maybe I bumped into the reefs in the sea? For some reason, the image of a small unidentified object flying at me comes to mind again...and the sensation of the back of my head hitting a reef...

CommanderOw, ow, ow... Man, I hit my head hard. What was I planning to do before that?疼疼疼……撞得不轻啊,在那之前我要干嘛来着?

As I scowl hard in deep thought, I notice P38's face darkening.

P38Is...is this really okay?要、要不要紧啊?

P38R93, why don't we escort the Commander back first?R93,要不我们还是先送指挥官回去吧?

R93But then we won't have time! Don't back out on me right now!那时间可就来不及了,别在这时候打退堂鼓啊!

CommanderRight, the beach. We were ambushed on the beach by unknown enemies. We've got to hurry back... Help me up.对了,海滩。 海滩那边遇袭了,敌人来路不明,我们得赶紧回去…… 扶我起来。

R93C-Commander!指、指挥官!

CommanderYes?什么?

R93... The way back is a bit complicated. We'll lead the way.…… 这边的路途比较复杂,我们来带路,然后一起回去吧。

CommanderAlright, please do.嗯,靠你们了。

After a short rest, my strength has recovered a little. With the Dolls' help, we enter the forest before us.

The terrain seems completely different from how it appeared in yesterday's investigation, and the winding path we take makes me lose all sense of direction.

P38R93, we aren't going back the way we came, are we?R93,这根本不是来时的方向吧?

R93You think so?你以为呢?

P38The Commander looks mostly alright, but I still think we should go back first...虽然指挥官看起来没有大碍,但我觉得还是回去比较好……

R93We're just one step away from the luck-changing treasure. I don't want to give up when we're so close. By the way, I seem to recall seeing a thread with zero replies on Griffin's anonymous forum posted by a certain Doll who's good at playing beach volleyball.距离转运宝藏只有一步之遥了,我可不想就这么完了。 而且我好像记起来,在格里芬匿名版上曾看到过的,某位擅长沙滩排球的人形开设的0回复应援贴。

P38Shush!不要说出来啊!

R93Since we've come to an understanding, let's proceed according to the plan.既然我们已经如此理解彼此了,就继续行动吧。

P38Hmm...唔……

R93Besides, all problems will be solved if we find the treasure together with the Commander, isn't that right?而且,如果指挥官和我们一起找到转运宝藏,一切问题不一样迎刃而解吗?

P38You...you do have a point, I suppose.好、好像有点道理……

CommanderWhat is this silent conversation you're having with your eyes?你们两个眉来眼去的在干嘛?

R93We're trying to remember the way back.在想回去的路哦。

CommanderReally? Speaking of which, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to traverse this terrain. Are you sure this is the way you came?是吗? 话说回来,从刚才我就觉得这里的路越来越难走,你们之前是从这边过来的?

P38W-well...这、这个嘛……

CommanderAlso, you seem to be a bit...hmm?再有,你们有些……嗯?

As I'm about to question them further, a massive structure that's almost completely absorbed by the forest suddenly comes into view.

R93We...we found it!找、找到了!

CommanderWhat?什么?

R93 is overjoyed. That's when I notice the old and soggy map in her hand.

CommanderWhat's that you're holding?你手里那是什么?

R93 doesn't reply. She paces back and forth, referring to the map the whole time. The construct is blocked by a wall and the main entrance is right in front of us. Beneath the moss that's grown all over it seems to be the insignia of the Military.

R93Strange. This looks a bit different than how I imagined it would be...奇怪,这里跟想象中的不太一样……

CommanderWait, what are you doing?等等,你要干嘛?

R93 mutters to herself as she walks up to the door. I'm just about to stop her when the small device on the wall emits a red laser ray.

CommanderCrap!糟糕!

I know very well what this means, but it's already too late. The red laser gives us a sweep and an ear-splitting alarm goes off. We've triggered the still operational defense system.

CommanderR93, get out of there now!R93,快离开这儿!

At the sign of trouble, R93 stops poring over her map and runs back to help me escape. But with a mechanical whir, a number of conveyor platforms rise up around us, carrying a large troop of autonomous mech units from underground – the very same ones that attacked us on the beach.

R93Oh, just our luck!这是什么鬼运气啊!?

P38Commander, I think we're being surrounded!指挥官,我们好像被包围了!

CommanderKeep calm and send a distress signal!冷静,发送求援信号!

R93 promptly does as I say and looks at me, waiting for her next order.

CommanderLet's hope we can get through this before they receive the signal and make their way here.等她们收到信号赶来之前,希望能抗过这一关吧……

Gunshots echo through the forest...

CommanderFirst we got ambushed while on vacation. Then I drowned because the Dolls were messing around. Now I'm in more dire straits... Perhaps I should take Kalina's advice more seriously from now on.先是休假时遭到袭击,然后被人形们耍闹导致溺水,现在又要面对更加严峻的状况…… 或许今后应该慎重评价格琳给我的任务建议才行!

It's certain that the autonomous units in the previous attack originated from this abandoned factory, whose defense system is somehow still operational. I don't know if I should commend its durability or bemoan my misfortune. Making use of an interval in the enemies' fire, I poke my head out and return fire, but such meager support probably isn't of much help to R93 and P38.

P38This is so annoying! Why can't normal people be this eager to see me? All I want is some good old popularity!真讨厌啊,为什么没有正常点的人对我那么执着呢? 我明明只是想体验普通的有人气而已!

R93What do you mean "good old popularity"? Say, if you don't want to get hit, pull yourself together! We don't have that many Dummies with us, you know!什么叫‘普通的有人气’? 我说你,不想走霉运被敌人打中的话就打起精神来,我们可没带多少傀儡!

P38Who would've known this would happen during a treasure hunt?!谁又知道寻宝的时候还会发生这种事!

CommanderWait a minute, why are you two here in the first place?等会儿,你们跑出来干什么了?

R93Uh, we're just...trying our luck...唔,只是想,碰碰运气……

R93's voice becomes smaller until her mumbling is completely drowned out by the enemies' gunfire. But I heard their purpose loud and clear. It's just so ridiculous I don't know how to react.

P38But you were right! The monster guarding the treasure is really here, so we may be getting closer to the treasure, after all?不过这不就是你说的那种吗? 守护宝藏的怪物,现在真的出现了,我们也许里宝藏更进一步了呢?

Treasure?! If the enemies weren't so relentless in their attack, I would've laughed out loud.

CommanderThis isn't going to work... Come with me!这么下去不是个办法……跟我进去!

R93Where to?去哪儿?

CommanderInside the factory. There's been no sign of movement in there so far, which means the defense system is only active along the perimeter. Even if we can't break through their encirclement, we can't let them surround us this quickly.咱们身后这座兵工厂。 从刚才开始里面就没动静,说明防御系统只分布在了外围。 就算现在做不到突围,也不能让对面这么快把我们包围了。

P38But won't that leave us with no way out?可是那样不就彻底没有退路了吗?

R93Our objective is to buy time. The Commander is right, this is the only chance we've got!我们的目标是拖延时间,而且指挥官说得对,现在只有这条路可以走了!

R93 breaks cover and successfully destroys several autonomous units with a few well-aimed shots. Making use of this opportunity, we cover each other as we fall back towards the factory. As we approach the building, we notice that the main entrance isn't closed tightly. There's a gap that a person can easily fit through.

CommanderWe're in luck! R93, cut off our pursuers! P38, with me!运气不错,R93负责断后,P38!

P38Roger!好的!

Suppressing enemy fire, we promptly slip into the factory. Just after we vacate the entrance area, a grenade explodes right where we entered the building. The old metal door is mangled in the explosion and the original small gap is blown into a large opening that even the autonomous units can come through.

CommanderJust how many of these units are stored in this factory? There's no end to them! R93, find a high vantage point and go easy on your ammo!这里的自律兵器到底还有多少储备量,简直没完没了! R93,去找制高点,注意节省子弹!

R93Got it!好!

P38Commander, I can't keep them off anymore!指挥官,这里也撑不住了!

CommanderTsk...! Keep moving! Head to the workshop!啧……! 继续移动,到车间里去!

The enemies are pressing forward, gradually backing us into a corner. The workshop has a very simple layout, the only way out the far side is a corridor on the second floor. We run into the corridor...and find ourselves at a dead end.

P38Why is there a wall here?! It's a dead end!怎么有堵墙在这里!? 这下完全是死路了!

R93Dammit, my ammo isn't going to last long!真倒霉,我的弹药也撑不了太久了!

P38C-Commander!指、指挥官!

Commander...Don't panic, let me think.……别着急,让我想想。

It's a bit hard to get a good look behind cover, but I can see tracks covering the floor behind us.

CommanderTracks...tracks...轨道……轨道……

I take a closer look at that so-called "metal wall" - it's obviously a gate. There's even an inconspicuous control room next to it.

CommanderBingo, that's our way out. R93, come and cover me!好家伙,得靠这个了。 R93,过来掩护我!

After taking a deep breath, I crawl my way to the control room beside the gate behind R93's cover and quickly take stock of the room. The entire gate control system dates back to 60 years ago, even the computer is a piece of antique. I'm no Kalina, but I can probably still get it to work. Paying no mind to the occasional stray bullets brushing past the wall outside, I activate the control panel, which triggers a broadcast.

BroadcastControl system activated. Self-diagnosis in progress... Malfunction in the main generator! Malfunction in the main generator! Switched to solar power supply system, energy reserve at 31%... Please notify the maintenance department for prompt repair, execution code E-R-0694...控制系统启动,自检中…… 主发电机故障!主发电机故障! 已切换太阳能供电系统,蓄电量剩余31%…… 请尽快通知维护部门修复,执行代码E-R-0694……

CommanderNo wonder why it isn't moving. Let me see... This opens the gate, right?难怪这些东西还能运转,我看看…… 开启闸门的是这个吧?

I pull the most eye-catching lever on the panel, and the broadcast speaks again.

BroadcastLock disengaged... Transport route is now clear.闭锁装置解除…… 运输通道已开启。

A yellow light flashes in the corridor outside and the gate slowly rises after a mechanical hum.

CommanderThere we go!成了!

As the gate is opening, the autonomous units that have been hot on our heels suddenly halt their attack and withdraw out of the corridor, as if it's part of the gate-opening sequence.

R93Huh?咦?

P38They...they ran? Way to go, Commander!它们、它们逃走了? 指挥官好厉害!

CommanderThat wasn't me. This corridor is a conveyor belt. They're probably making way for whatever is going to come through.也不算是我干的。 这条回廊是个运输带,它们十有八九是给接下来要通过的什么东西让路吧。

P38Whatever...is going to come through?通过的……东西?

P38 curiosity is satisfied by the third broadcast.

BroadcastAmmunition loaded... Transport rig checkup complete... Fire control system activated... Starting test.弹药装载完毕…… 传动装置检测完毕…… 火控系统已开启…… 开始投入测试。

CommanderIt won't be anything good.反正,不是什么好东西。

I come out from the control room and stare at the open gate with the Dolls. An eerie red light is shining from down the pitch-dark corridor. The sound of the transport rig is also coming from the same location and drawing ever closer.

R93What rotten luck...狗屎运……

R93 adjusts her sunglasses with her hand...or is she trying to take them off?

P38C-Commander...指、指挥官……

CommanderRUN!快跑!

... On the beach, Suomi gently turns over a rock. A few tiny crabs hiding beneath the rock are startled and wave their pincers menacingly at her.

Suomi... Excuse me, has the Commander been here?…… 请问指挥官来过吗?

WA2000Stop wasting time! Sheesh, where the hell has the Commander gone? Why is that idiot always making us worry?麻烦别把时间浪费在这种地方! 真是的,指挥官到底藏到哪里去了,都不知道别人那么担心吗?

NTW-20It's okay, no amount of hiding can evade my keen vision.没关系,就算藏得再深也逃不过我敏锐的视觉的。

Gr MP7May I remind you that the Caretaker was DROWNING, not playing hide-and-seek! That's pretty serious, so shouldn't you be a bit more anxious?再次提醒,饲养员是溺·水,不是捉迷藏! 所以别的怎么样都好,溺水这严重的事,不应该表现得更紧张一点吗?

WA2000Says you while you're casually sucking on your lollipop! Hmm, but we've been looking for the Commander for a while now. Is there no other way...?这种话等你把手里的棒棒糖丢掉了再说吧! 唔,说到底还是因为长时间找不到指挥官,大家也没什么办法了吗……

Just as everyone is at a loss, the sound of a ferocious gunfight comes from deep within the forest.

WA2000What's that?!这个声音!?

Five-sevenHello? Hello? Is Serdyukov there? Or anybody? Please respond if you copy. We found something incredible over here.喂?喂?谢尔久科夫在吗? 或者什么人都可以,听到的话请回答,这边发现了不得了的东西。

WA2000Five-seven? That noise is coming from the area you're searching, right?57?刚才那声音是你们负责搜索的区域吧?

Five-sevenThat's right, we've engaged the enemies. They look just like the ones who just disturbed our nice vacation. Could they have captured the Commander?没错哟,现在已经接敌了,对面看起来很像刚才打扰我们休假的家伙呢。 你说指挥官会不会就是被它们给抓走了?

WA2000That...that's a possibility...不、不排除这个可能……

WA2000Compared to drowning, this might actually not be so bad?和溺水相比,也许这样反而是更好的结果

Five-sevenI bet you're thinking it isn't so bad compared to drowning.你该不会是在想,和溺水相比,也许这样反而是更好的结果?

WA2000If you read my neural cloud without my permission, I'm never going to forgive you!如果你擅自连接我的心智,我绝对饶不了你!

Five-sevenI didn't, I'm just about to set off to rescue the Commander. After all, the Commander needs me now more than ever. Don't be jealous~哪有哪有,我现在正要去把指挥官救出来呢。 毕竟现在的指挥官可能比任何时候都需要我嘛,不要羡慕哦~

WA2000Share your coordinates with everyone. We're coming too!赶紧把你们的坐标共享给所有人形,我们也要去!

... WA2000 terminates the transmission angrily. The forest is raging with gunfire, yet Five-seven is nonchalantly reveling in her success in razzing WA2000.

Five-sevenHeheheh, she IS jealous~嘻嘻嘻,她羡慕了~

QJY-88Um, just to be safe, maybe we should still share our coordinates?那个,为了保险起见,还是给大家共享一下坐标吧?

SPAS-12Shouldn't we charge over there and wipe them out valiantly?这种时候不是应该直接冲过去,然后帅气地解决掉它们吗?

Five-sevenRight, I agree with SPAS-12.好的好的,我赞同SPAS-12的意见。

QJY-88Huh? O-okay then, you're probably right...哎?那、那好吧,也许你们是对的……

Five-seven smirks at QJY-88 and points at her own neural cloud.

Five-sevenYou all got that right? R93 sent a distress call and her current location. There's no mistake – the Commander is in danger. Right now, our job is to cut through the enemies and secure the Commander in what looks like a factory.你们也都收到了吧,R93发来的求救信号和坐标,毫无疑问是指挥官遇到危险了。 我们现在要做的就是赶紧突破这里,去前面那个好像工厂的地方确保指挥官的安全。

Upon confirming their main objective, the group starts advancing towards the factory in an inverted triangle formation. As they arrive at the main entrance, a swarm of autonomous units come pouring out of the door.

QJY-88Whoa! Is-is this a trap?!哇哇哇!是、是陷阱吗!?

SPAS-12That doesn't matter! Watch me!是不是都没有关系,看我的吧!

Five-sevenSlow down. Can you hear that?先别急,你们听到什么声音没?

The trio fall silent. The scene is still in chaos, but they can just make out the sound of some very large machinery coming from within the factory, and it's getting closer. A few panicky shouts can also be heard from time to time.

QJY-88L-look over there!看、看那边!

The Dolls turn towards the source of the noise. It's a safety exit connected to an external flight of stairs. The door is soon kicked open and three flustered figures come crashing out.

SPAS-12It's R93, P38, and the Commander!是R93和P38,还有指挥官!

Five-sevenOooh, it seems the Commander is safe! Heyyyy!哦哦,看来指挥官很安全! 喂——!

Five-seven waves at the Commander, who also seems to be waving desperately at her.

Five-sevenIt hasn't been that long since we last saw each other, so why is the Commander so excited?才多大一会功夫没见面,指挥官怎么兴奋成那样?

QJY-88No, I think there's something behind them…不对,好像有什么东西在后面……

Before QJY-88 could finish, something punches right through the safety exit with a loud boom, leaving a large, semi-circular hole on the wall. Then the entire wall is knocked down, and amidst the flying dust and chunks of concrete is a massive mech unit.

WA2000(Pants) I...finally got here... W-what the hell is that?!哈……哈……终于赶到了…… 那、那是什么!?

Five-sevenIt's here to take you somewhere far away~来接你远走高飞的哟~

WA2000Enough already! Where's the Commander?你真是够了!指挥官在哪里?

QJY-88Still in there, but...还在那个里面,不过……

Detecting enemy units, the mech leaps up with tremendous force and lands right before the Dolls.

Five-sevenBut we'll have to take care of this before we can get to the Commander.不过得先打败它才能救回指挥官了。

Now that all the Dolls have arrived, it's time to launch a general offensive against these old autonomous units.

... Perhaps one day, I'll once again recall this incredible experience – this operation to eliminate potential threats on an island. It was fun, relaxing, and full of perils. Gazing at the factory that we've thoroughly decimated, I give Serdyukov a verbal report of the mission and ask her to forward it to HQ.

SpringfieldI never thought there'd be an abandoned weapon factory from 60 years ago on this island, completely unnoticed before today.真没想到,这座岛上还有荒废的兵工厂,而且一直没有被人发现过。

CommanderCould be the work of some broke contractor. Not that I care.也许是哪个破产的承包商的杰作,我是懒得操心。

SpringfieldSo it's safe to say that our mission is...?那,我们这次的任务算是……?

CommanderWe've fulfilled our commissioner's request and achieved their desired results. All that's left is to sort out our internal "problems"... I'm talking about you two, treasure hunters R93 and P38!委托书上的要求我们已经完成了,这是委托方最想要的结果。 剩下的就是处理我们自己内部的“问题”…… 说的就是你们两个,宝藏女孩R93、P38!

The two Dolls who are just about to quietly slip away are frozen on the spot at the mention of their names.

... The setting sun paints the sea in glittering gold. I would probably have felt disappointed for a day like this to end in my childhood, but before we head home tomorrow, there is still plenty of time to wrap up this vacation nicely...…… 时间临近傍晚,夕阳在海平面上渲染着粼粼波光。 也许童年的时候会对这样一天的结束感到怅然若失,但在明天返回之前,我们还有足够的时间来给这次的休假做个结尾……

The Dolls return to their lively and joyous mood during the day. They set up the barbecue and tables on the beach away from the sea and put out all kinds of food and beverage they've brought from HQ – the beach party is about to begin.

CommanderWho's going to eat all this? Is it necessary to prepare so much food?都有谁要吃这些,一下子准备那么多?

Gr G36There's more. We have something even more delicious after this round.不仅仅是这些,接下来还有更多的美味要上桌。

Gr G28Wow! What a feast! Here I come... Whoa!哇!这么多好吃的,我来……呀!

Gr G28 loses her balance and crashes into Gr G36, splashing her coconut juice everywhere.不小心失去平衡的G28扑在了G36身上,手里捧着的椰汁也洒得到处都是。

Gr G28Ow ow ow, um...疼疼疼,那个……

Gr G28Eeeeep! I-I'm sorry! It was an accident!噫——! 对、对不起,我不是故意的!

Gr G36Oh...she ran off. I didn't even see who it was. Did I scare her?啊……跑掉了。 完全没看清楚那孩子是谁,我是不是吓到她了。

CommanderIt wouldn't have been so scary if you had your glasses on.你戴上眼镜就不至于了。

The Dolls around us suddenly burst into excited whoops and cheers. NTW-20 walks back from the sea, dragging a massive tuna behind her and attracting a large crowd.正说话间,旁边又传来一阵惊叹声。 NTW-20从海边走来,随手拖着一条相当肥实的金枪鱼,注意到了的人形们纷纷围了上来。

NTW-20Phew. This tuna is enough to stuff us all.呼——这条金枪鱼够大家吃饱了吧。

SuomiWow!哇——!

Gr MP7Humph. You're good, I'll give you that. But when did you catch it?哼? 姑且承认你有点本事,不过这是什么时候抓到的?

NTW-20...While I was looking for the Commander.……找指挥官的时候。

WA2000So your "keen vision" is only good for catching fish?!你那敏锐的视觉都用来抓鱼了吗!

SpringfieldOooh, that does look nice and fat! Let's cut it up like this. I'm sure it'll taste lovely as grilled fillets.哇,看起来真是肥美! 就这样切块,然后烤成金枪鱼排的话一定很好吃。

Type 95I don't think anyone has tried steaming this kind of fish, maybe we can try that. 97 might like it~好像从来没清蒸过这种鱼肉呢,也许可以试试,说不定97会喜欢~

M1 GarandThat would be a waste of a perfectly good fish...那、那种吃法也太暴殄天物了吧……

SPAS-12Whichever the case, I'm ready to chop it to pieces!不管哪种都好,我已经准备好把它大卸八块了!

In the last rays of sunlight, the cheerful hubbub on the beach makes for an enviable scene from afar. At least that's what P38 is thinking.在落日余晖下,海滩上的喧闹声此起彼伏,远远看着真的令人羡慕。 至少此刻的P38就是这么想的。

P38Ugh...呜……

R93Feeling tempted, are we?嘴馋了吗?

P38Hell no! I just thought I was going to find that luck-changing treasure and my popularity will skyrocket. But there never was any treasure here!才不是! 本来想着找到转运宝藏之后,我的人气也会从此一路上升的。 可这里根本就没有宝藏嘛!

R93Yeah, it's just a legend after all.当然,那毕竟只是个传说。

P38But how come you were so sure it was real?那之前你信誓旦旦,说得好像真的一样?

R93Well... Don't be like that. Think of it another way – we did get something out of this.这个嘛…… 先不要那么沮丧,其实换个思路想想,也不是没有收获呀。

P38S-something?收、收获?

R93For example... Even though our unsanctioned actions put the Commander in danger, the Commander also believes that it led to the discovery of potential risks on the island, which made up for our mistake and saved us from being punished~比如说吧……虽然我们擅自行动让指挥官陷入危险,但指挥官却觉得我们发现了潜在的危险,因为将功补过了,所以就没有处罚了~

P38We aren't allowed to eat the first batch of barbecued meat! How is that not a punishment?! And now that I think about it, I haven't been able to relax and enjoy the holiday at all because I was so busy trying to find the treasure... What an utter failure! I'm a pathetic excuse for an idol! Ugh...maybe I should just retire...连第一轮烤肉都不让吃了,还不叫惩罚!? 而且仔细想想,为了寻找这个宝藏,我完全没有享受到休假…… 太失败了!作为偶像太失败了! 呜……干脆宣布提前毕业吧?

R93But aren't you still a trainee?你不还没出道吗?

The two Dolls chat about all sorts of nonsense as they stroll along the beach. As they reach the reef that the Commander walked past during the day, the chattering of the other Dolls are drowned out and they focus on the view. The sun is halfway down the ocean and a few stars are shining softly through the twilight. Just as P38's gaze falls onto the beach, her attention is drawn to a shimmering gleam.两个人形一边散步,一边就这样东扯西聊,慢慢地绕过了白天指挥官走过的礁石,把另一边的玩闹声给彻底遮盖之后,她们的注意力总算聚焦在了风景上。 太阳有一半下落到海中,余晖之上,依稀可以看到天空中几颗星星在闪烁。 而当P38的视线落在海滩上时,她被从中泛起的莹莹光芒吸引了。

P38Huh? That's... R93! R93, look over there!咦,那是…… R93!R93!快看那边!

R93What is it? The beach is bioluminescent! I've never seen this before.怎么了? 是火星潮啊,我也是第一次亲眼看见。

P38It-it's so pretty!好、好漂亮!

P38 runs towards the sea. Every step she takes causes the sand to glow in a more intense blue. Soon enough, even the waves are all embellished in bioluminescence. The phenomenon is all the more dazzling under a fuzzy sky where the stars are not yet on full display.P38跑向了海边,被她所触碰过的地方,那些蓝色荧光就越发闪烁。 渐渐地,一阵阵海浪全被荧光所点缀,在星空尚未完全展现的当下,这番景象比一切都要绚烂夺目。

P38That settles it! This will be my stage, and I'm going to give the Commander and everyone a surprise here!决定了! 这里就是我P38的舞台,等会儿绝对要给指挥官和大家一个惊喜!

R93Pfft, be my guest.噗,那你就试试看好了。

P38Humph, this time I'll surely turn things around and become a popular idol! Hahahaha!哼哼,这次我一定会一转颓势,成为人气偶像的! 哈哈哈哈!

As R93 watches P38 whooping on the glowing beach, she also stops sulking over her unsuccessful treasure hunt. Compared to that, enjoying the beautiful view right now might just be the best treasure she can give herself.看着P38在荧光海滩上欢呼雀跃,R93也不再纠结这场不完美的寻宝之旅。 与其相比,当下欣赏着的美景或许才是自己能找到的最好的宝藏。

R93Maybe my luck isn't so bad this time...看来这次的运气也不算太差……

Commander... Are they actually reflecting on their mistake?…… 她们这是在反省吗?

SerdyukovProbably?应该是吧?

CommanderI think the punishment was too light. It's hardly enough to make them realize what they've done wrong.看来处罚还是太轻了,这样根本不会让她们认识到自己的错误。

SerdyukovCommander... You're not being very persuasive with that piece of barbecued meat in your hand. So what are you planning to do?指挥官…… 拿着烤肉说这样的话,好像不太有说服力哦。 您准备怎么做呢?

CommanderHumph...I'll let them off this time. Get them back here. I don't want them to tire themselves out.哼……这次还是算了。 叫她们回来吧,玩得太累就不好了。

CommanderAfter all, the party is just starting.毕竟今晚的派对离结束还早呢。
