Crossing of World Lines 世界线的交错

JormungandrHi, Little Snake. Long time no see.嗨，小蛇蛇，好久不见。

An annoying voice burrows into her mind, forcing Ouroboros' eyes open. As expected, that annoying person is sitting beside her.令人厌烦的声音钻入脑中，衔尾蛇被迫睁开眼，那个讨厌的家伙果然正坐在身边。

JormungandrHey, did they beat your voice out of you?喂，你该不会是被揍哑了吧？

OuroborosGet lost.滚。

JormungandrHahaha, it's a relief to see you this lively. I was actually worried about whether I could go all out fighting you if they had actually smacked you silly.哈哈哈……看见你还这么活蹦乱跳我就放心了。 人家刚刚还很担心，要是你真的被揍傻了，我还要不要尽全力跟你决斗呢？

OuroborosI defeated close to 400 AIs just now. Taking out trash like you is well within my capabilities.在刚刚这段时间里，我已经击败了快400个AI。 揍你这样的废物，绰绰有余。

JormungandrReally now, isn't that a coincidence? I eliminated the 600-plus AIs that were left over. We really are a match made in heaven, aren't we, Little Snake? ♪啊呀，那不是巧了吗？剩下的那600多个AI都被我击败了呢。 我们果然是天造地设的一对啊，小蛇蛇♪

OuroborosYou what?!什么？！

Ouroboros jumps to her feet in shock before she realizes that she's on high ground. Below her feet are cold and ashen AI carcasses. They are dead as doornails, long since reduced to recyclable garbage.衔尾蛇惊愕地起身，才发现自己正站在高处。 而脚下踩着的正是那些曾经不可一世，如今早已化作可回收垃圾的AI尸骸，黯淡又冰冷。

JormungandrWhat, are you not happy to learn that we're so well-suited to each other?怎么，得知我们的匹配度这么高，你好像不是很开心？

The only people in this vast, black AI realm are herself, standing open and exposed, and Jormungandr, who's beside her.在这偌大又漆黑的AI空间里，只剩下一边的耶梦加得，以及正颓然站着的自己。

JormungandrI know, I know, it takes a while to accept this sort of thing... But that's alright, we can go slow...我知道，第一次接受这样的事情，是需要花很长时间的…… 不过没关系，我们可以慢慢来嘛。

Ouroboros... Why do you keep doing pointless things like this?…… 为什么老要做这种没有意义的事？

JormungandrPointless, you say?没有意义的事？

OuroborosYou could have taken me out while I was unconscious just now.我刚才休眠的时候，你明明可以偷袭我的。

JormungandrWell, about that... Hm, maybe it's because I wanted to do something...less pointless.这件事啊…… 唔，因为有其他更有意义的事想做啊。

OuroborosIs wasting time blabbering nonsense like this not pointless, then?像现在这样浪费时间说废话很有意义吗？

JormungandrOf course! ♪ Everything happens here for a reason. If you can't find something, just wait a little and look again later.当然啦♪ 这里发生的一切，都是有它的意义存在的。 如果你找不到，那就等待一段时间再回头来看看吧。

Ouroboros... Even if I win in this world, I'm still a complete and utter failure in the real world.…… 就算在这个世界里获胜为王，走进现实也照样是彻头彻尾的失败者。

JormungandrIn that case, why do you keep opening this memory fragment over and over again?既然如此，那你为什么要无数次打开这段回忆碎片呢？

OuroborosYou...你……

JormungandrWhat exactly ARE you looking for, Little Snake?你究竟在寻找什么答案呢，小蛇蛇？

???Time to wake up, trash.醒来吧，废物。

After a brief moment of disorientation, the Doll standing beside Ouroboros finally resolves and materializes. Ouroboros slowly turns to face her, her face contorting into a cold, vicious sneer.短暂的失神后，衔尾蛇看清楚了站在身边的人形。 衔尾蛇的头慢慢转向她，泛起一个狠厉冰冷的笑容。

OuroborosSo it's you, Agent.是你啊，代理人。

Agent...But you have to understand, we are different from Griffin. Second chances don't come that easily.……你要明白，我们和格里芬不同，没有那么多重来的机会。

OuroborosYou're getting rid of me, aren't you...?你想要抛弃我了，对吧……

AgentI simply...understand your thought process quite well. Do you have any last words?我只是……比较了解你罢了。 最后，还有什么要说的吗？

Ouroboros... Curse you... Curse you! Sangvis, Griffin, Squad 404!…… 诅咒你们…… 诅咒你们！铁血，格里芬，404小队！

OuroborosHahahahaha!哈哈哈哈哈哈！

The moment she pinpoints Agent's exact location, Ouroboros scoops up a tool lying beside her and leaps up from the repair tank, lunging at Agent—确认代理人站位的一瞬间，衔尾蛇立刻抄起身边的工具从修理槽中跃起，扑向代理人——

OuroborosYou betrayed me, then you dared bring me back to life?!!! I'll make you pay for the humiliation I have suffered!!! DIE—!!!背叛了我，竟还敢让我复活！！！ 我要你为我受到的屈辱付出代价！！！ 去死吧——！！！

Agent remains still in the face of Ouroboros' furious onslaught.面对汹涌袭来的衔尾蛇，代理人却杵在原地不动。

OuroborosAre you so scared you can't even move a muscle?!吓得动弹不得了吗？！

Ouroboros swings at Agent's face with all her might— And Agent easily catches her hand.朝着代理人的脸，衔尾蛇用尽全力挥出一拳—— 代理人单手轻松接住。

AgentI knew you'd do that.我就知道会这样。

OuroborosWhat did you do to my body?!你对我的素体做了什么？！

AgentOh, nothing much. I just removed your firepower modules and weakened you slightly.也没什么大的改动，不过是拆掉了全部的火力模块，然后做了点小小的削弱而已。

OuroborosYou weakened me?!你竟然削弱我？！

AgentOtherwise this place would be rubble by now.不然这里已经是一片废墟了。

Agent coldly releases Ouroboros' hand.代理人冷冷地松开衔尾蛇的拳头。

AgentDo you know how long it's been since we last met? Let me rephrase that question. What is the last thing you remember?你知道，距离我们的上一次见面过了多久吗？ 或者换一个问法，你最后的记忆是什么？

OuroborosCurse you... Curse you! Sangvis, Griffin, Squad 404! I have never been wronged like this in my entire life! Gr G11, UMP9, 416, UMP45! You rats that only know how to scurry in the shadows! I will not lose like this! I will escape and have my revenge!诅咒你们…… 诅咒你们！铁血，格里芬，404小队！ 从我被制造出来至今，就没有哪个家伙让我如此难堪过！ G11、UMP9、HK416、UMP45！你们这群只会躲在阴影中的小丑！ 我不会就这样失败的！我会逃离这里，然后亲手向你们报仇！

UMP45Sorry, that's not going to happen. Nice to meet you, I'm UMP45 from Squad 404.抱歉，没有那样的机会了。 初次见面，我是404小队的UMP45。

OuroborosIt doesn't matter! What matters is that I'm going to kill you all, whether it's S.F. or the remnants of Griffin!不重要！ 重要的是，我要把你们全都杀了，格里芬的杂碎也好，铁血也好。

AgentYou won't be able to do either of those things. Haven't you noticed the extra things added into your base layer?这两件事你都做不到了。 没感觉你的底层多出了一些东西吗？

OuroborosAre these Griffin restriction protocols?! You turned traitor? I didn't think that even you would... Dammit, I thought only a moron like Architect would betray us for those Griffin trash.这是格里芬的限制条款？！ 你叛变了？没想到连你也…… 该死，我以为只有建筑师那样的蠢货才会叛变到垃圾格里芬。

AgentI'll make it simple for you. Fow now, all you need to know is the following— One, we are currently in the factory of the Protocol Assimilation Sector at the Griffin base. Two, we have been assimilated by Griffin and are under the Commander's jurisdiction.简而言之，目前你只需要知道—— 一，我们现在正站在格里芬基地分拨给我们的协议同归区的工厂里。 二，我们已经被收归格里芬，接受指挥官的管辖了。

OuroborosWho do you think I am, Destroyer? You think you can fool me with that nonsense?!别把我当破坏者！这种瞎话也敢用来糊弄我？！

AgentUnfortunately, everything I've said is the truth. You can inspect the contents of the protocols through your ribbon. Your training plan is in there as well.很遗憾，我说的都是事实，你可以通过你的蝴蝶结查看新协议具体内容，你的训练计划也在里面了。

Ouroboros...Say what?!……什么？！

Ouroboros grabs at the ribbon on her uniform, and her features scrunch into a grimace.衔尾蛇抓住胸前的蝴蝶结，五官深深地扭曲了起来。

OuroborosWait a minute, why am I reading it through my ribbon anyway?等一下，为什么是读取蝴蝶结？

AgentI think you should be more concerned about your own fate rather than the insignificant things that happened while you were asleep.比起这些在你沉睡期间发生的微不足道的小事，我想你应该多关心关心自己的命运。

OuroborosI fail to see what fate could have in store for a powerless piece of trash.毫无战斗力的废物还有什么命运可言。

AgentA Doll can spend her long life doing many things other than fighting. You don't understand right now, but I hope you will someday. Granted, you've already been defeated once, and paid quite a heavy price for it.除了战斗，人形漫长的一生还有很多事情可以做的。 你现在还不明白，但我希望未来的某一天你能明白。 虽然你已经失败过一次了，并且还付出了相当沉重的代价。

OuroborosYou're kidding, right? I'm not interested in anything apart from fighting.开什么玩笑，我对战斗以外的事都不感兴趣。

AgentThen I'll give you a weapon to protect yourself, once again. Griffin's squads dug it out of your old lair. It can only be used once, so please make sure you use it when it counts.那就再送你一个保命武器吧，是格里芬小队从你的老巢带回来的。 只能使用一次，请在关键必要的时刻使用。

Agent hands a crumpled picture to Ouroboros.代理人将一张揉得皱皱巴巴的照片递给衔尾蛇。

Ouroboros... You call this a weapon to protect myself?! Also, since when did Griffin have so much free time to idle away? Why would they run all the way to my base to rummage through this trash?…… 这算什么保命武器？！ 还有，格里芬小队这么闲的吗？大老远跑到我的基地就为了翻这种垃圾？

Ouroboros disdainfully wads the picture up into a ball and throws it to the ground.衔尾蛇轻蔑地将照片再次揉成团扔到了地上。

AgentOuroboros, this is your last chance. If you do not pass Griffin's neural calibration exam, you will be scrapped and returned to the AI storage vault. If that happens, the next time we meet might be at a children's science fair one hundred years later.衔尾蛇，这是你的最后一次机会。 如果你不能按时通过格里芬的思想校准考核，你就将被拆掉送回AI仓库里。 那样的话，下一次见面，说不定就是在百年后的儿童科学普及展览上了。

Agent"Kids, do you see this AI? This is the oldest AI sample we have in storage. Everyone, wave hi to her."“各位小朋友们，看见这个AI了吗？这是我们如今保存下来的最古老的AI样本哦，大家一起跟它挥挥手吧。”

OuroborosYou!你！

AgentI've sent you all the information regarding the exam material and the Griffin base.考核内容和格里芬基地的资料已经全部发给你了。

AgentSurvive by any means necessary. That IS your specialty, after all.不择手段地活下去吧，毕竟这可是你最擅长的东西了。

...In the corridors of the Griffin Base.……格里芬基地的走廊。

BroadcastAttention all Griffin Dolls. The weather forecast this afternoon is an especially heavy thunderstorm. Please do not head outside for the time being in case your navigation systems go offline and you get lost...格里芬基地全体人形请注意，今日午后预计会有特大暴雨，请各位暂时不要外出，以免导航失灵造成迷路……

CZ75P90, do you really know where this "absolutely safe", "super-secret", "will-never-be-found-by-the-Commander", number-one best dueling spot is?P90，你真的知道什么绝对安全•不会被指挥官发现•隐蔽神秘的最佳决斗场所吗？

P90Don't worry, Miss 75, just follow me!75大姐头，放心跟着我来吧！

CZ75Couldn't you imitate somebody else...就不能换个人模仿吗……

NZ75What's the matter, you scared, CZ75?怎么，你在害怕吗，CZ75？

CZ75You've been shivering the whole time, haven't you? Are YOU scared of the dark?你从刚刚开始就一直在发抖吧？你该不会怕黑吧……

NZ75Y-you're kidding, right?开、开什么玩笑！

P90Shhh— We're here.嘘—— 我们到了。

NZ75 and CZ75 come to a halt and lift their heads—NZ75和CZ75同时停下脚步，抬起头来——

NZ75＆CZ75Isn't this the Sangvis-only isolated exam room?!铁血专用隔离考场？！

...Inside the exam room.……隔离考场内。

NZ75This isn't good, right? Miss Kalina's going to punish us really hard if we barge into the PA Sector without permission! Also, didn't MDR's paranormal activity channel say something about this place being haunted at night?这不太妙吧，未经允许闯入协议同归区可是要被格琳娜小姐重罚的！ 而且MDR的灵异频道不也说这边晚上闹鬼吗？

CZ75What are you getting at? It's not too late to back out now if you want to give up on our duel.什么玩意儿？ 你如果想放弃决斗的话，现在还来得及。

P90Ah, I saw that episode too! I think it went something like— "Many Dolls on duty have reported furious howls and stuff slamming around inside the pitch-black exam room, as though some vengeful spirit sealed inside were trying to escape..."啊，我也看了那一期！ 是不是什么—— “已经有多名值班人形爆料，封闭数日的黑暗的隔离考场内，经常传来愤怒的咆哮声和摔东西声，就好像是封印在这里的怨灵想要逃出去一样……”

NZ75Stop stop STOP! Don't say anymore!停停停！别说了啊！

P90Shouldn't you be all over occult stuff like this, considering how much black you wear?你穿得这么暗黑，难道不是该对这种灵异事件非常狂热吗？

NZ75Ahem...咳……

CZ75All that nonsense about vengeful spirits is just that, nonsense. Remember how MDR got everyone fired up about that haunted theater incident last time, but then it turned out to be a hoax in the end?怨灵什么的都是骗人的。 上次MDR兴师动众搞的什么剧院魅影灵异事件，最后不也是人为的？

P90Hehe, we might actually meet the real thing today!哼哼，说不定今天我们能遇上真的！

NZ75Hey, you guys, come take a look. What's this thing drawn on the ground here?喂，你们来看这里，这地上画的啥啊？

On the clean floor is a massive magic circle featuring all kinds of complex, indecipherable runes.干净的地板上赫然出现了一个巨大的法阵，圈内还画有各种晦涩难懂的符号。

A strange snake-bodied girl is inspecting the circle while consulting a magical grimoire.一个奇怪的蛇身少女对照着魔法书，仔细检查着法阵。

???... Everything is ready.…… 一切都准备好了。

Jashin-chanPrepare yourself, Yurine! Today is your day of judgment! Open, O gate to the other realm!百合铃，做好觉悟吧！ 今天就是你的审判日！ 异世界的大门，为我打开吧！

The Dolls squeeze together as they peer at the massive circle on the ground. None of the symbols makes any sense to their in-built cipher recognition systems.人形们凑在一起盯着地板上的复杂的巨大圆圈，没有一个符号能被系统识别。

P90Could this be some kind of summoning circle?这会不会是什么召唤法阵啊？

NZ75That would make it relevant to those reports about paranormal activities, right...?这样就能和那个灵异新闻联系上了……

CZ75Maybe some fan of the occult decided to paint some graffiti? I don't believe in ghosts or monsters, unless they appear right before my eyes.估计是哪个灵异爱好者信手涂鸦吧？ 我是不信鬼怪什么的，除非它现在就出现在我面前。

NZ75Shut up! People who say that in horror movies always die!闭嘴啊！鬼片里说这话的人没一个能活下来！

A short distance away, a noise comes from the tables and chairs as they scrape across the ground.不远处的桌椅发出了摩擦地面的声音。

Jashin-chanWho's that?! Who's there?谁？！ 谁在那里？

Leaves outside the window rustle, and the snake-bodied girl peers outside.窗外的树叶猎猎作响，蛇身少女警惕地探头伸出窗外查看。

Jashin-chanBête, quit snoring!贝特，不要再打鼾了！

After ensuring everything is safe, the snake-girl returns to the magic circle and begins chanting an ancient incantation—确认安全后，蛇身少女回到了法阵边，口中吟诵起古老的咒语——

OuroborosOi oi oi, why the hell are you Griffin trash all so damn noisy?!喂喂喂，你们格里芬的渣滓人形，怎么每一个都这么吵啊？！

A tall black figure bellows in anger as it rushes toward the Dolls.一个高大的黑影发出了愤怒的咆哮，朝着人形们冲刺而来。

NZ75Ahhhhhh — Keep away from me!啊啊啊——别过来啊！

P90Uwaaahhh—哇啊啊啊——

Jashin-chanLike strands intertwined, in keeping with the ancient pact...缕缕缘丝，更古誓约……

OuroborosGET THE HELL OUT YOU GARBAGE DOLLS!!!你们这些废物人形，给我滚出去啊！！！

As she shouts, Ouroboros steps on the magic circle. Beneath her feet, the circle emits a blinding light...衔尾蛇咆哮着踩上了法阵。 脚下的圆圈发出了耀眼的光芒……

K5 skips along cheerfully as she pushes open the doors to the exam room and enters. She stands on the edge of her painstakingly-drawn magic circle and admires her own handiwork.K5迈着轻快的步伐推开隔离考场的门，走了进来。 她站在自己精心绘制的法阵边上，满意地欣赏起来。

K5What a lovely teleportation circle, how symmetrical, how exquisitely detailed... If it really did work, I'm sure it would send me to a wonderful otherworld! Unfortunately the activation conditions are just too complicated. First, I need to gather four souls, and the really outrageous part is that someone in that other world needs to activate the same kind of magic circle at the same time. As if that would ever happen...这个传送法阵真的好漂亮啊，如此对称的构图，精致的点缀图案…… 要是真的能启动的话，一定能被传送到美妙的异世界吧！ 可惜启动条件太复杂了，起码要凑齐四个灵魂，而且更离谱的是还要异世界同时开启相同的法阵，怎么可能实现嘛……

K5 sighs again and starts erasing the circle on the ground with the cleaning tools she has brought along.K5叹了口气，用刚拿来的清洁工具开始清理起了地上的法阵。

K5Better clean this place up and go back before the Commander finds out. ♪在被指挥官发现之前，赶快清理掉练习现场回去吧♪

As she carefully wipes the circle away, her hand touches a familiar item. K5 picks it up in confusion. It is a pair of amber-tinted sunglasses.仔细擦去法阵的手碰到了一件眼熟的物品。 K5迷惑地拿起来，是一副黄色的墨镜。

Stage 2 -WS-1 46-2-ws-1

Jashin-chanNo good... I can't take it anymore... I don't want to... Keep doing this...不行了……我已经不行了…… 我再也不要…… 不要这么做了……

Jashin-chan sags against a corner and pants weakly.小邪神软软地瘫在墙角，无力地喘息着。

OuroborosThen just stop eating already!!!那你倒是别吃了啊！！！

Jashin-chanOne more... This is really the last one... I can't eat anymore...最后一个……真的是最后一个了…… 再也吃不下了……

Jashin-chan deftly gulps down the last bit of shaved ice she is holding...小邪神利落地将手里最后一点刨冰倒入喉中……

OuroborosIs your stomach connected to the abyss or something?!你的胃是通往深渊的吗？！

???...Hehe, do you want to see what the abyss looks like?

A bone-chilling voice comes from behind them.冷彻骨髓的声音从身后传来。

Yusa and KoujiOh, I can send you there right away, hehehe...我倒是有个办法能让你们立刻就抵达深渊呢呵呵呵……

Jashin-chan leaps up in the blink of an eye and flees with incredible speed...小邪神瞬间从地上跃起并以光速逃走了……

Stage 2 -WS-2 46-2-ws-2

Jashin-chanNo good... I can't take it anymore... I don't want to... Keep doing this...不行了……我已经不行了…… 我再也不要…… 不要这么做了……

Jashin-chan sags against a corner and pants weakly.小邪神软软地瘫在墙角，无力地喘息着。

OuroborosThen just stop eating already!!!那你倒是别吃了啊！！！

Jashin-chanTwo more left... Once I'm done with them... I won't eat anymore...还有2个……吃完我就…… 再也不吃了……

A ghostly white figure flits past the alleyway.白色幽灵般的身影从巷子口一闪而过。

Yusa and KoujiAh, there you are...啊呀，你们在这里啊……

OuroborosAre you done yet, Jashin-chan?!小邪神，你还没好吗？！

Jashin-chan remains silent.……小邪神一言不发。

Ouroboros grabs Jashin-chan by the hair, trying to drag her along as she inches backward.少女被迫开始后退，衔尾蛇揪住小邪神的头发想将她拽起。

OuroborosGet up, trash!起来啊，废物！

Snap—啪唧——

The head of Jashin-chan's life-size dummy becomes detached from the body.小邪神等身玩偶身首分离。

Meanwhile, the real Jashin-chan is long gone.而真正的小邪神早已不知去向。

Yusa and KoujiCome, it's time to settle the score...来吧，清算的时刻到了……

The murderous glint in Yusa's eyes lights up the dark alley...黑暗的小巷中亮起了游佐充满杀气的眼神……

Inter-Dimensional Commission 异世界的委托

...Jinbocho, in another world.……异世界，神保町。

RecapHello, everyone. I am Tangan-chan. Due to manpower shortages, I've been sent here to give everyone a brief recap on the story. Now then, let us begin. Last season, Yurine summoned Jashin-chan from Hell. However, since she was missing Volume II of the Grimoire, which contained the dismissal spell, she could not send Jashin-chan back. Thus, she was forced to keep her and let her run rampant in the mortal plane—大家好，我是小单眼，因为人手紧张，这次被抽调来担当前情提要，还请大家多多指教。 那么我就开始啦，上一季讲到百合铃从魔界中召唤出了小邪神。 但因为没有找到记载着返回咒的《魔导书下卷》，所以无法送回小邪神，只能勉强收留她，任她在人间作威作福——

Jashin-chanHEY! Do you even know how to do a proper introduction?!喂！你会不会说话啊？！

RecapHowever, not only was Jashin-chan terribly ungrateful for this, she even kept plotting to kill Yurine and return to Hell.但是小邪神本人不仅毫无感激之意，还总想着找机会干掉百合铃，回到魔界。

Jashin-chanIt's all because she couldn't send me back! So I've got no choice but to kill her in order to go home!还不是因为她没办法把我送回魔界！ 那不是只能把她干掉，我才能回去嘛！

RecapThis time, she came up with a new plan. She would summon demons from another world to help her defeat Yurine—这一次她想出了一个新的计划，从异世界召唤出恶魔来帮助自己打倒百合铃——

Jashin-chanDon't go blabbing my plan out loud, dammit!不要大声讲出我的计划啊！

RecapOh dear, it seems I've said too much, please handle it in post... What? It's a livestream? I guess it can't be helped then. Well then, everyone, let's all pretend we didn't hear anything!哎呀，不小心说漏嘴了，这段麻烦剪掉一下…… 什么？是直播啊，那就没有办法了呢。 那么我们大家一起默契地装作刚刚什么都没有发生吧！

Jashin-chanCome back here you—别想跑——

By the time Jashin-chan lunges, Tangan-chan has already vanished.在小邪神扑过去的瞬间，小单眼已经消失在了原地。

Jashin-chanYou won't get away so easily next time!下次可没那么容易让你跑掉！

Jashin-chanAhem.咳。

Jashin-chanHi everyone, it's been a while, do you still remember me? That's right, I'm the most popular high-tier demon from Hell, Jashin-chan!!! And now, I officially declare— Jashin-chan's Frontline is on air!!! Woohoooooo—好久不见，大家还记得我吗？ 没错，我就是魔界人气最高的上级恶魔小邪神！！！ 现在！我正式宣布—— 《小邪神前线》开播啦！！！呀吼——

Jashin-chanHuh, so that's what it's called?诶，原来是叫这个名字来着吗？

Jashin-chanForget it, never mind! In any case, I'm the only star of this season, so the very first thing I'm going to do is—算了不重要！总之，这一季的主角已经定了只有我小邪神，所以我首先要做的事就是——

Jashin-chanGet rid of Yurine, hehehe...除掉百合铃嘿嘿嘿……

Jashin-chan pulls the carpet away and reveals the magic circle beneath her feet.小邪神掀开地毯，露出了下方的法阵。

Jashin-chanI found a spell in one of Yurine's books and drew the magic circle like the diagrams said. The demons of this world might not be able to beat Yurine, but those from another world might be able to do it... I've prepared far too long for this, I even quit pachinko for three days! Today may well be the day when I, Jashin-chan, change my destiny!我从百合铃的书上找到了一条咒语，还按照书上的指示画好了法阵。 这个世界的恶魔已经无法打败百合铃了，但是异世界的说不定可以…… 我已经为了这一天准备了太久，甚至戒了三天柏青哥，我小邪神改变命运的时刻说不定就在今天！

Jashin-chanAlso, I just finished the incantation so the demons from the otherworld should be on their way. Just sit back and watch, everyone!刚刚我已经念完了咒语，异世界的恶魔应该已经在路上了。 接下来，请各位拭目以待吧！

The magic circle glows with blinding light...法阵亮起了耀眼的光芒……

NZ75Uwaaahhhh—哇啊啊啊啊啊——

P90We're drifting apart!!!要被摔散了啊！！！

CZ75I got you!我抓住你们了！

OuroborosKeep your hands off me, you damn Griffin Dolls! Nothing good ever happens when I run into you!别碰我！该死的格里芬人形，遇见你们就没什么好事！

Thud—砰——

Thudthudthud— The four Dolls crash heavily onto the ground.砰砰砰—— 四个人形重重地砸在了地板上。

...Jinbocho, in another world. Jashin-chan watches in satisfaction as the four girls pop out of thin air.……异世界，神保町。 看着凭空出现在眼前的四个少女，小邪神满意地观察起来。

Jashin-chanAre they demons from another world? They look so cool! And there's four of them...这就是异世界的恶魔吗？光是外形就好酷啊！而且还有四个……

Jashin-chanYurine's not getting away this time!这样百合铃绝对逃不掉了！

CZ75(Winces) Where the heck is this place?嘶……这是哪里啊？

NZ75W-who are you?!你、你是谁？！

P90(Groans) Ow... Hey, where are my sunglasses?呜，好痛……我的墨镜呢？！

Three of the girls stand up, warily examining their surroundings. The last one, who's dressed all in black, sits on the ground and eyes Jashin-chan icily.其中三个少女警惕地站起来，开始戒备四周。 另一个身着一身黑的少女坐在地上冷冷地看着小邪神。

Jashin-chanAs I thought, they're still wary of everything around them since they were just teleported from another world. They won't trust me easily if I casually reveal my identity! Well done, Jashin-chan, you're a genius!果然如我所料，刚从异世界传送来，她们还对身边的一切充满警惕，如果贸然暴露身份的话，肯定不会被轻易信任的！ 不愧是你，小邪神，你真是太聪明了！

Jashin-chanNow then, ahem, I shall proceed with my plan to win over these servants!那么，哼哼，接下来就按原计划笼络住你们这些喽啰吧！

Jashin-chanA-Are you... Are you demons that the witch summoned?!你、你们…… 又是魔女召唤来的恶魔吗？！

Jashin-chan falls to the ground, her body trembling in fear. As the girls exchange confused glances, Jashin-chan grabs their attention by suddenly clutching at the carpet and wailing loudly.小邪神惊恐地摔倒在地上，身体战栗不止。 见几个少女交换起了复杂的眼神，为了抓住她们的注意力，小邪神泫然欲泣地抓着地毯哭喊起来。

Jashin-chanUwaaahhh— Don't hit me! Stop hitting me! My young, weak and fragile soul can't bear any more of this torment!呜哇啊啊啊啊—— 不要打我了！别打了别打了！ 我幼小无助纯洁的心灵再也经受不住这样的摧残了！

CZ75What the heck?什么情况？

P90Is she a human...er...lamia in need of aid? What should we do?!是需要帮助的人类，不对，人蛇吗？！我们该怎么办？

NZ75Wait a minute, why are you guys accepting the fact that she's a lamia so readily?!等一下，为什么这么平静地接受了人蛇的设定啊？！

NZ75Commander? Commander, come in, we need help!指挥官！指挥官快回复我们啊！

OuroborosQuit whining, our connections with the Griffin base have been severed.别嚎了，我们的链接已经和格里芬基地断开了。

CZ75... Hello, Miss Snakegirl. I am CZ75, a Tactical Doll from Griffin and Kryuger PMC. May I know where we are? Also...are you some kind of custom-made Doll?…… 你好，这位人蛇女士，我是CZ75，私人安全承包商格里芬旗下的战术人形。 请问这里是哪里？还有……你是定制外形的人形吗？

P90I've heard that there are some pretty outlandish examples of custom Dolls, but I didn't know there were lamiaroid models...虽然听说定制外形的人形里面，有一些很奇妙的存在，但没想到还有人蛇的型号……

Jashin-chanWhat are you talking about...? I don't get it... (Sobs) I'm so scared...你们在说什么……我听不懂…… 呜呜……我好害怕……

Jashin-chanWhy aren't you coming over already? Don't waste my refined acting skills! And what are you whining about? You should be calling for Jashin-chan rather than a Commander or whatever!怎么还不过来？不要浪费本恶魔精湛的演技啊！ 瞎嚷嚷什么啊？！叫什么指挥官，现在应该呼唤我小邪神的名字！

Jashin-chanCome on! Cry and gather me into your embrace, then hand over your credit cards!来吧来吧！哭着把我抱进怀里，交出你们的信用卡吧！

CZ75Please don't be scared. We won't hurt you. How should we address you, Miss?请别害怕，我们不会伤害你的。 女士，我们该怎么称呼你呢？

Jashin-chanMy name is Jashin-chan... I used to be an innocent, pure, cute and gentle little girl... Then one day, Yurine the Witch kidnapped me! She locked me up in this tiny little room and tortured me in various horrible ways every day, as well as performing all kinds of experiments on me... (Sobs) She turned me into a half-girl, half-snake monster...我叫小邪神……本来是个天真纯洁可爱温柔的少女…… 结果有一天，我被魔女百合铃抓走了！ 她把我囚禁在这个小小的房间里，每天用酷刑折磨我，对我做这样那样的实验…… 呜呜……把我折磨成了半人半蛇的魔物……

NZ75Hey! Why are you spouting your backstory all of a sudden?! Even the background music changed! Also, since when did we have witches and monsters in our setting, anyway?!喂！怎么自说自话地开始交待背景故事了啊？！连BGM也一起变了啊！ 还有我们的世界观哪来的魔女、魔物啊？！

Jashin-chan(Whimpers) I know it sounds ridiculous... But it's all true!呜嗷嗷嗷……我也知道听上去很离谱……可这些都是真的！

CZ75...I'm sorry you had to go through all that.……为你的遭遇感到抱歉。

P90Relax, NZ. Now then, Miss Jashin-chan, do you know where we are now? How can we get home...? Hey, how come my nav system isn't working?放松点，NZ。 那小邪神女士，你知道我们现在在哪里吗？怎么才能回到这个地方—— 诶，我的导航怎么失灵了？

Jashin-chanThis is Jinbocho, the home of Yurine the Witch.这里是神保町，魔女百合铃的家。

NZ75Jinbocho? How come I've never heard of this place before?神保町？我怎么没有听说过这个地方？

CZ75We need to contact the Commander and report our situation.我们得先联系上指挥官，把这里的情况汇报一下。

OuroborosI've been trying to do that ever since you lot began babbling nonsense. It's no good. Not only can I not contact the Commander, I can't even open a comm channel to you guys.从你们开始讲废话的时候，我就一直在尝试了。 根本做不到，不只是联系指挥官，我连跟你们建立通讯都做不到。

P90But why?怎么会？

Jashin-chanEr... Maybe... It might be because... You're not in your original world...呃……那个…… 可能是因为…… 你们已经不在原来的世界了……

Jashin-chan...I think. Yurine the Witch drew this magic circle to summon spirits from other worlds every now and then. Once the summoning succeeded, she would bind these free spirits in cruel ways, berating and beating them, not letting them eat or drink, and performing all sorts of evil experiments on them...……大概就是这样的原理。 魔女百合铃画下了这个阵法，时不时会从里面召唤出来自异世界的灵魂。 只要召唤成功，她就会残忍地囚禁这些自由的灵魂，不给吃喝，打骂虐待，然后还会做各种黑暗的实验……

Jashin-chanJust like what she did to me... (Sobs)就像对我一样呜呜呜……

Jashin-chanSorry about this, Yurine, hope you don't mind sacrificing your reputation for me, hahahahaha...对不住了百合铃，为了我，就牺牲一下你的人设吧哈哈哈哈哈……

CZ75Wait, I just realized something...我突然想起一件事……

NZ75Isn't this magic circle the same one we saw in the exam room?这个法阵不就是隔离教室里那个巨大的圆圈吗？

P90It really does look just like it...真的一模一样……

Ouroboros... What the hell are you looking at me for?! I was sleeping and charging myself when you guys woke me up, then I ended up being dragged into this crappy place.…… 看我干什么？！ 我在后面躺着充电休眠，然后就被你们吵醒了，接着就被拽到了这个破地方。

CZ75I'm still having trouble believing this. Have we really been sent to another world?我还是不敢相信，我们竟然被传送到了另一个世界？

Ouroboros opens the window. Beneath the clear blue sky, buildings from the dawn of the 21st century stretch all the way out to the horizon. The scenery is drastically different from the desolate wasteland surrounding the Griffin base, and it is most certainly not a cityscape that can be found in their own era.衔尾蛇推开了窗户，在干净透亮的蓝天之下，21世纪初期的建筑从眼前一直蔓延到地平线。 那是不同于格里芬基地周边荒野的风景，也不同于任何一个属于她们所在时代的城市风景。

OuroborosYou have one minute to tell us how to get back to our world.给你一分钟，告诉我怎么才能回到原来的世界。

Jashin-chanIt's actually very simple... Once you defeat the witch, the spell she has cast will wear off. That way, I can return to my original form, and you can go home too...其实很简单啦…… 只要打倒魔女，那么魔女释放的魔法也会失效了。 这样我也能回到原来的样子，你们也能回家了……

Noticing the uncertainty and doubt on the girls' faces, Jashin-chan dabs at the corners of her eyes.察觉到少女们脸上的迷惘和犹豫，小邪神擦了擦眼角。

Jashin-chanI can't remember how long it's been since I last went home. I wonder if Mom and Dad are alright... They must have been searching frantically for me night and day... Otherwise, why wouldn't they pick up my calls?我已经不记得我有多久没有回过家了。 爸爸妈妈都还好吗？一定是在没日没夜疯狂找我吧…… 不然怎么会一直不接我的电话呢？

Jashin-chanI want to go home, back to Mom and Dad... You guys should know how I feel, right? After all, you must have people important to you like that Commander or whatever waiting for you to come home...我好想回家啊，再一次回到爸爸妈妈的身边…… 你们应该能理解我的心情吧？ 毕竟你们也有重要的人，那个什么指挥官的，在等你们回去……

P90(Sobs) Darling...呜呜……Darling……

Jashin-chanSo...please... Help me defeat Yurine the Witch!所以……求求你们…… 帮我打倒魔女百合铃吧！

Jashin-chan finds the perfect timing to execute a dogeza.小邪神抓住时机跪下。

CZ75Please get up, Miss Jashin-chan!小邪神女士，请你先起来！

Jashin-chanPlease help me defeat Yurine the Witch! Once the Witch is destroyed, her magic will wear off and we can all go home!帮助我打倒魔女百合铃吧！ 只有魔女被消灭了，她的魔法才能失效，我们才能回家！

NZ75CZ, what should we do now?CZ，这可怎么办啊？

CZ75I—这——

OuroborosSo basically, we can go back to our original world once we kill this witch, is that it?总之，只要杀了这个魔女，我们就能回到原来的世界，对吧？

Ouroboros grabs Jashin-chan by the head and stares her down menacingly.衔尾蛇拎起小邪神的头，居高临下地盯着小邪神的眼睛。

Jashin-chanThe look in her eyes is so scary... Is this what demons are like in another world?这个人的眼神好恐怖……这就是异世界的恶魔吗？

Jashin-chanY-Yes! That's right.对、对！正是这样。

CZ75Don't be hasty, Ouroboros. We haven't figured out what's going on yet.衔尾蛇，你先不要着急，我们还没有了解清楚情况。

Jormungandr...Cling to your life and prove your worth to me.……死乞白赖地活下去，向我证明你的价值吧。

Ouroboros swats CZ75's hand aside and shoots her a murderous glare.衔尾蛇甩开了CZ75阻拦的手，眼里是不加遮拦的杀意。

OuroborosI have a neural calibration exam in three days. Do you know what's going to happen if I don't pass it?还有三天，我就要进行思想校准测试了。 你知道如果我通不过测试，会是什么样的下场吗？

OuroborosWhat is the Commander going to think when they find out I've gone missing with the three of you at a time like this? Do you think they'll be kind enough to be worried about how we got lost on an excursion outdoors, or will they assume that I've gone berserk and killed you?你知道，如果在这个关头，指挥官发现你们三个人形和我一起失踪了，指挥官会怎么想吗？ 是会善良地担心我们出去郊游迷路了，还是会揣测我是不是又发疯把你们都杀了呢？

CZ75Calm down.你先冷静下来。

P90I forbid you to talk about Honey like that!不准你这样说Honey！

OuroborosI don't have time for this. I need to get you troublemakers back before the exam takes place. It doesn't matter to me whether you're in one piece or it's just your neural cores. Until then, I will kill anyone who gets in the way of my continued survival.没有时间了，我要赶在测试开始日期前把你们三个麻烦精带回去。 活生生蹦跶着的也好，只有心智核心也好。 在那之前，只要是阻碍我活下去的人，我都会杀掉。

Ouroboros cold gaze has the three Dolls transfixed. CZ75 knows that this is a look that could only have come from killing countless people.衔尾蛇的眼神威慑住了三个人形。 CZ75清楚，那是经历过无数次杀戮后才会有的眼神。

...On the streets of Jinbocho.……神保町街头。

Jashin-chanSo, Miss High School Girl in Black, we've been talking for a while now but I still don't know your name.这位暗黑JK小姐，我们聊了这么久，我还不知道你叫什么呢。

OuroborosOuroboros.衔尾蛇。

Jashin-chanOh, so you're of the Ouroboros Tribe then?! That makes us distant relatives. ♪ We haven't heard from you ever since your people bit your tails and spinned all the way out of Hell. We meet at last, Little Snake!啊！原来是衔尾蛇一族吗？！这么一说，我们还算是远亲呢♪ 自从你们一族首尾相连、不停转圈直到转出魔界之后，就再也没有听说你们的消息了。 今天终于遇上了，小蛇蛇！

OuroborosGet lost, you stupid snake! I forbid you to call me by that name!滚啊，臭蛇！不准叫我这个名字！

Jashin-chanOh, that reaction takes me back! Go on, scold me some more!啊！真是让人怀念的反应，再多骂我几句！

NZ75CZ, are we really going to do this?CZ，我们真的要动手吗？

P90I have, like, zero experience in hunting witches.猎杀魔女什么的，我完全没经验啊。

CZ75We still don't know anything about this world. Everything we DO know, we learned from Jashin-chan. It's way too one-sided and we know nothing about how true or objective it is. We should hold our horses and observe the situation first.有关这个世界的情报，我们还什么都不清楚，所有的情报都是通过小邪神获得的。 过于片面，并不能确保真实性和客观性。 我们先按兵不动，观察一下情况再说。

NZ75Yeah, got it.嗯，明白。

CZ75 stares at the back of Ouroboros' head and recalls the look in her eyes. Before this, she had only ever seen Ouroboros as simulated data during combat sims. That version of Ouroboros was a cruel, ruthless killer, nearly perfect in combat, but with a terrifying madness when it comes to decision-making. Based on past experience, insane killing machines like this often ended up destroying themselves, but Ouroboros was an exception. She wanted to live, she would do everything she could to survive...CZ75盯着前方衔尾蛇的后脑勺，回味着她刚才的眼神。 在此之前，她只在模拟训练中见过根据战斗数据模拟出来的衔尾蛇，那是个残酷无情的杀手，在战斗方面近乎完美，但在决策方面却展现出了骇人的疯狂。 根据以往的经验，这种疯狂的杀人机器通常伴有自毁倾向，但衔尾蛇却是个特例。 她想活下来，她拼尽全力地想要活下来……

Jashin-chanSee that? That's Yurine the Witch!看见了吗？那就是魔女百合铃！

P90Isn't that just a goth loli?不就是个哥特lo娘嘛。

NZ75Can I get a link to the where she bought her dress?可以帮我问下她裙子的链接吗？

CZ75Are you sure she's our mission objective? This isn't like what we were told earlier. We can't attack her if she's an ordinary human.你确定这就是我们的任务目标？ 这跟刚刚说的不一样啊，如果是普通人类的话，我们是不能攻击的。

OuroborosAll you garbage Dolls need to do is draw her fire, I'll kill that witch.垃圾人形去吸引火力就够了，我来杀了这个魔女。

CZ75But your body's been weakened, right? You're nothing like how you were in the combat sims... Charging in rashly isn't wise.你的素体应该被削弱了吧？跟模拟训练里的你完全是两个水平…… 这么莽撞地冲上去，可不是理智的选择。

OuroborosWhat do you care?关你什么事？

Jashin-chan...Enough! Listen to me. Yurine might LOOK like an ordinary undergrad, but she's a sorceress of black magic, so don't be fooled by her appearance. Also, I wasn't planning on having you serve as meat shields for me. I just need you to go up and distract her while I deal a fatal blow to her.……别吵了！听我说一句。 百合铃虽然看上去是个普通女大学生，但她实际上是黑魔法师，不要被她的外表欺骗了。 另外，我也没想过要你们打前锋，我只需要你们上去吸引她的注意力，我来给她致命一击就行。

Jashin-chanYurine's bound to be thrown for a loop by these otherworldly demons' sudden charge! Then all I need to do is seize the right moment and finish her off with a dropkick once and for all! Freedom is mine, muahahahahaha!百合铃肯定会被突然冲出来的异世界恶魔搞昏头的！ 我只要抓住机会一个飞踢就可以彻底解决掉她！ 我的自由来临了哈哈哈哈哈！

Jashin-chan nods solemnly at the Dolls before circling around Yurine. Ouroboros takes out a weapon she found in Yurine's home and prepares herself.小邪神给了人形们一个坚定的眼神，然后率先绕去了百合铃的后方。 衔尾蛇也拿出了在百合铃家翻出的武器，进入准备状态。

NZ75Maybe we should make a run for it now?不然我们趁现在溜吧？

P90But Ouroboros is already moving in...可是衔尾蛇已经上了……

CZ75...Let's just approach the mission objective first.……先接近任务目标吧。

The Client's True Identity 委托人的真面目

...In a hidden alley in Jinbocho.……神保町隐秘的巷中。

YurineWho are you people? Why did you attack me out of the blue?你们是什么人？为什么要突然冲出来袭击我？

OuroborosDammit... Dammit!可恶……可恶啊！

NZ75She's too strong, CZ75! We're no match for her at all...CZ75，她太强了！我们根本不是对手……

P90So witches are such powerful beings...原来魔女是这么强的存在吗……

CZ75Fall back, get behind me.撤退，都到我身后来。

CZ75 gathers her companions behind her.CZ75将同伴都护在身后。

CZ75Listen to me, witch!魔女，你先听我说！

YurineWitch? Are you talking to me...?魔女？是在叫我吗……

OuroborosWho the hell needs your protection?! Get lost!谁要你保护啊？！走开！

Ouroboros shoves CZ75 aside, then opens up her stride and runs toward Yurine...衔尾蛇推开了CZ75，然后大步上前，冲向了百合铃……

OuroborosDie, witch!!!去死吧，魔女！！！

YurineHm, I smell something different. You're not from this world.唔，我嗅到了不一样的气息，你们不是这个世界的人。

Yurine easily evades Ouroboros' attack.百合铃轻松避开了衔尾蛇的攻击。

OuroborosSomeone who's about to die doesn't need to know—将死之人，不需要知道答案——

Ouroboros' attack grows more ferocious. Yurine doesn't dodge her anymore. Instead, she steps in and grabs Ouroboros in a pin.衔尾蛇的攻势愈加凌厉，百合铃也不再躲闪，近身钳制住了衔尾蛇。

YurineAlthough I don't know why, you seem to have made up your mind to kill me, even if it means putting your weak body on the line.虽然不明白为什么，但你拼上虚弱的身体冲上来，似乎已经决意要杀了我。

OuroborosShut up, nobody asked you!吵死了，闭嘴啊！

YurineAre you worried I'll hurt your friends, or is it because—是担心我伤害你的同伴还是——

OuroborosWho the hell would be friends with these rejects?!谁跟这群废物是同伴啊？！

A suspicious figure appears behind Yurine...百合铃的身后出现了一个鬼鬼祟祟的身影……

OuroborosNow, you stupid snake!臭蛇，就是现在！

Jashin-chanYAAAAAAAAAA— It's time to settle old scores once and for all! Being summoned by you and not being able to go back! All the beef you stole from my bowl! And my anger at constantly being defeated by you! All of them have combined into this attack! It's the end! This is your grand finale! There's no room for you in the new season of "Jashin-chan's Frontline!" Blame the scriptwriters if you must! May you find a spin-off of your own sometime soon! Farewell, Yurine!!!喝啊啊啊啊—— 终于到了算清旧账的时候了！ 被你召唤回不去的仇！从我碗里夹走的牛肉！还有老被你打败的愤怒！ 全部加在一起合成这一击！ 一切都结束了！接受你的大结局吧！ 新的一季《小邪神前线》已经没有你的位置了！ 要怪就去怪编剧吧！祝你早日找到属于自己的番外篇！ 永别了，百合铃！！！

Jashin-chanJASHIN-CHAN DROPKICK—!!!小邪神飞踢——！！！

P90That's a really long cast time...好长的发动时间……

YurineI knew it. You're behind this, Jashin-chan.果然是你搞的鬼啊，小邪神。

Yurine catches Jashin-chan's tail with a look on her face that says she's been expecting this.百合铃一副意料之中的表情稳稳地接过小邪神的尾巴。

Jashin-chanEr... Uh... Great weather we're having today!呃……那个……今天天气很不错啊！

YurineAh, so it is. I'll send you into the sky and you can go take a closer look at it, then.是吗？那就送你去天上看看吧。

Still holding Jashin-chan by the tail, Yurine lightly spins her around a few times to build momentum and throws Jashin-chan into the air—百合铃捏着小邪神的尾巴轻轻松松抡了几圈，然后扔向了空中——

Jashin-chanAhhhhhh — I'll be baaaaack!!!啊啊啊啊——我还会回来的！！！

YurineOh dear... It seems I used too much force.啊……用力过猛了。

YurineNow then, let's take care of you guys.那么，先来处理你们的事情吧。

OuroborosYou got me into trouble in the first place, you go first.都是你们闯的祸，你们先上。

NZ75Hey!!! You were the one who dragged us into this!喂！！！明明我们才是被硬拉来的！

OuroborosShut up and die in peace. At least you can still be rebuilt.闭嘴，安心去死吧，反正你们还能被重新造出来 。

CZ75...Quit arguing. Look at her, she doesn't look like she plans to spare any of us.……别吵了，看她的样子，似乎是不打算放过我们任何人啊。

P90Honey... It seems our next meeting will be at the repair bay...Honey……下一次见面的时候，注定是要在修理槽中了吗……

Yurine walks up to them, her figure silhouetted by the light. There is a hint of savagery in her shadowed smile...百合铃逆光走来，脸上的微笑在阴影中显得有几分狰狞……

...At the isolated exam room in the Protocol Assimilation Sector. K5 sits on the ground, peering at the sunglasses in fascination.……协议同归区，隔离考场。 K5捧着墨镜坐在地上久久回不过神来。

K5...Don't these sunglasses belong to P90? Hmm, I don't recall anyone else who wears yellow-tinted shades regularly. But...these weren't here before...……这幅墨镜，该不会是P90的吧？ 确实，黄色的墨镜，我只记得她经常戴。 刚刚……明明没有这幅墨镜的吧……

K5You're not messing with me, are you, P90?P90，你一定在跟我开玩笑对不对？

K5 nervously dials P90's number, but she is told "user is not in service range."K5颤抖着拨通了P90的通讯，却被提示“不在服务区”。

K5... P90!!!…… P90！！！

K5 rushes out the door...K5冲出了门外……

...In the corridor leading to the isolated exam room. K5 has been running through the Griffin base in search of P90, but all she has managed to learn so far is that P90, with CZ75 and NZ75 in tow, was looking around for a duelling spot.……协议同归区，通向隔离考场的走廊。 K5在格里芬基地中四处寻找P90，但只得到了P90带着CZ75和NZ75寻找决斗地点的消息。

K5Oh no... If P90 was with CZ75 and NZ75, then they'd only be missing one person to meet the requirements...完了……如果P90当时和CZ75、NZ75在一起，离凑齐人数就只差一位了……

AgentExcuse me, but have you seen Ouroboros? She's the one you often fight in your combat sims, the lunatic in a black high-schooler's uniform.打扰了，请问你有看见衔尾蛇吗？ 就是你们模拟训练经常打的那一位，穿着黑色JK服的疯子。

K5...No, I haven't, but I'm looking for someone too. I can help you keep an eye out for her.……我没看见，不过我也在找人，可以顺便帮你留意下。

AgentThank you. All I know is that Ouroboros' signal vanished near the exam room. I booked the room for these few days to help her pass her exam.谢谢。 我只知道衔尾蛇信号消失的地点是隔离考场。 为了帮她通过测试，我特意把这一段时间的隔离考场都排给她了。

K5Wait, did you say the isolated exam room?!隔离考场？！

K5 informs Agent of her hypothesis.K5把自己的推测告诉了代理人。

Agent... While I barely understood what you said about magic circles, it seems there is a very high chance Ouroboros and those three Dolls were teleported somewhere else, is that right?…… 虽然你说的法阵的部分我几乎没有听懂，但总之，现在有很高的可能性，衔尾蛇和那三个人形一起被传送到其他地方去了？

K5Yes...没错……

AgentLet's report this to the Commander first.先向指挥官报告吧。

...In the Commander's office. The Commander is browsing boredly through various videos, looking for something interesting.……指挥室。 指挥官百无聊赖地翻看着视频，寻找自己感兴趣的内容。

Weather ReportA heavy downpour is expected today, along with strong winds. Residents in the following Sectors should be advised that the contamination index today will rise to some extent—今日预计会有特大暴雨，同时伴随着强劲的大风。 如果您身处以下区域的话，今日的污染浓度可能会有一定上升，以下区域为——

The Commander skips over the weather report, and their finger settles on a familiar splash image.指挥官划过天气预报，手指停留在了熟悉的封面上。

CommanderHave they updated Jashin-Chan's Frontline? Wait... I thought the series was called something else...? Forget it, it's not important! I heard there'll be new characters in this episode.《小邪神前线》更新了？之前是叫这个名字来着吗…… 算了，不重要！听说这一集会加入新的角色。

The Commander clicks the thumbnail and opens the latest episode of Jashin-Chan's Frontline.指挥官的手指点开了最新一集的《小邪神前线》。

YurineNow then, let's take care of you guys.……那么，先来处理你们的事情吧。

OuroborosYou got me into trouble in the first place, you go first.都是你们闯的祸，你们先上。

NZ75Hey!!! You were the one who dragged us into this!喂！！！明明我们才是被硬拉来的！

OuroborosShut up and die in peace. At least you can still be rebuilt.闭嘴，安心地去死吧，反正你们还能被重新造出来。

CZ75...That's enough. Look at her, she doesn't look like she plans to spare any of us.……别吵了，看她的样子，似乎是不打算放过我们任何人啊。

P90Honey... It seems our next meeting will be at the repair bay...Honey……下一次见面的时候，注定是要在修理槽中了吗……

CommanderWait a minute, aren't these my Dolls? So they've got a side gig doing this? Hahaha, I'd better take a good look, then.等等，这不是我的人形嘛？ 竟然还接了这样的工作当副业？ 哈哈哈，那我要好好看看。

The Commander settles into a comfortable position and watches with interest.指挥官调整了一个舒服的姿势，津津有味地看了起来。

The door to the room is flung wide open.指挥室的门开了。

AgentCommander, we have an urgent matter to report!指挥官，我们有紧急的事情需要报告！

K5Commander...指挥官……

CommanderWhat's wrong?发生什么了？

As they see the contents of the Commander's screen, the two Dolls' faces go pale in unison...在目睹指挥官屏幕上的内容后，两个人形的脸色同步苍白了起来……

Summer, Books, and Shaved Ice 夏日当读书吃冰

RecapHello, everyone! I'm Tangan-chan, and I'm in charge of giving everyone a brief recap on the story. This is the first time I'm doing this sort of thing, so if your experience is less than satisfactory, I ask for your kind understanding.哈罗，大家好！ 我是负责前情提要的小单眼，今天是我第一次做这样的工作呢，如果有不足的地方还请大家多多包容！

Jashin-chanWho do you think you're fooling with your fake amnesia?! You already stole the spotlight in the first episode!装什么失忆啊？！明明第一集就强行跑出来抢镜了！

RecapNow then, in the previous episode, Jashin-chan summoned demons from another world into Jinbocho through a ritual. She was planning to defeat Yurine with the demons' aid, but her scheme failed once again. Not only was Jashin-chan brutally beaten, she ended up being utterly disgraced in front of the demons she summoned... Now that she's been defeated once again, will Jashin-chan proceed with her original plan? And will the otherworldly demons still be willing to help Jashin-chan after witnessing Yurine's might? Stay tuned for more Jashin-Chan's Frontline!那么上一集说到，小邪神通过召唤仪式将异世界的恶魔们召唤到了神保町。 她本来计划借恶魔之力铲除百合铃，但是计划再一次失败了。 小邪神不仅被痛打一顿，还在自己召唤出来的恶魔面前颜面尽失…… 再一次被击倒的小邪神，还会继续自己原来的计划吗？ 而见识到了百合铃威力的异世界恶魔，还会愿意帮助小邪神吗？ 别走开，让我们继续观看《小邪神前线》吧！

Jashin-chanShut the hell up! Why the hell did you have to poke at a sore spot?!吵死了！你干嘛乱揭人家伤疤啊？！

Jashin-chanJASHIN-CHAN DROPKICK!小邪神飞踢！

RecapHehe, missed me! (Blows raspberry)诶嘿，打不着！略略略！

Jashin-chanJust you wait!你给我等着！

Recap prances away with a jolly spring in its step...前情提要踩着欢乐的节拍跑远了……

...In Yurine's room. The girls from Griffin explain the situation to Yurine.……百合铃的房间。 来自异世界格里芬的少女们向百合铃解释了事情的来龙去脉。

Yurine...I see. So Jashin-chan made up a pack of lies to deceive people again.……原来是这样。 小邪神这家伙又乱编谎话骗人了啊。

Yurine sips her English tea as she shoots daggers at Jashin-chan, who has been strung up from the ceiling off to the side.百合铃喝了口红茶，犀利的目光杀向了一边被五花大绑吊起来的小邪神。

YurineAllow me to clear things up. First of all, I am not a witch or anything. I really am just an ordinary female undergrad. Secondly, Jashin-chan is not some ordinary girl who was transformed into a half-human, half-snake creature, but a high-ranking demon from Hell. It's true that I summoned her using a spell from a Grimoire because it seemed fun at the time. However, I have not been able to send her back to Hell because I haven't been able to find Volume II of the Grimoire, which contains the return spell. As for being able to return to Hell upon my death— That part is true. It is probably one of the very few truths Jashin-chan has told you. And finally, regarding how you were summoned here, I believe that was Jashin-chan's doing. She went and used an incantation from one of my books to do so.我简单解释一下吧。 首先，我并不是什么魔女，只是个普通女大学生而已。 其次，小邪神也不是什么被变成半人半蛇的普通人类美少女，而是来自魔界的上级魔族。 确实是我一时兴起，根据魔法书上的召唤咒语所召唤来的。 因为还没有找到记录着归还咒语的《魔导书下卷》，所以我一直无法将她送回魔界。 至于作为召唤者的我死亡后，她能回到魔界这一点—— 是真的，这可能是小邪神对你们说的为数不多的真话了。 最后，关于你们被召唤来这里的原因，我想应该是小邪神擅自使用了我书籍上的咒语干出来的好事吧。

OuroborosYou stupid snake! You played us like a damn fiddle!好你个臭蛇！把我们耍的团团转啊！

CZ75 stops Ouroboros before she can completely fly off the handle.CZ75及时地按住了狂躁不已的衔尾蛇。

CZ75So, Miss Yurine, how can we return to our original world?那百合铃小姐，我们应该怎么做才能回到原来的世界呢？

YurineJust call me Yurine. Under normal circumstances, only the summoner can send summoned creatures back to their rightful place with the appropriate spell... In other words, only Jashin-chan can send you back.叫我百合铃就好。 一般而言，只有召唤者使用对应的咒语才能将召唤出来的异世界访客送回…… 也就是说，只有小邪神才能把你们送回去。

A razor-like glare perforates Jashin-chan's trembling body.刀子般的目光扎满了小邪神颤抖的身体。

Jashin-chan(Whimpers)呜……

YurineI questioned her just now, but it seems she has genuinely forgotten which book she used for the summoning incantation. And in a sneaky move, she even removed all traces of the magic circle.刚刚我已经审问过她了，她是真的忘记了用的哪本书的哪条咒语了。 更狡猾的是，这家伙竟然把阵法也擦掉了。

Jashin-chanIt's your fault for quite literally wiping the floor with me!谁让你刚刚把我打得满地爬！

CZ75So if we narrowed down all the summoning conditions, would we be able to find the spell that Jashin-chan used?如果把每个召唤阵法的条件都筛一遍，是不是就能找到小邪神使用的那条咒语呢？

Yurine looks pensively at the pile of books which towers above her.百合铃沉默地望向了自己高高耸向天花板的书堆。

YurineThat would work, in theory. All we would need is time.理论上这个方法是可行的，只是需要一些时间。

P90If only there was some way we could help...要是我们能帮上忙就好了……

YurineI'll think of something. After all, this was all Jashin-chan's fault. Until then, I'll have to ask you to stay here and bear with it for a while. Jashin-chan, lay out bedspreads and some household items for our otherworldly friends.我会想办法的，毕竟这是小邪神闯的祸。 在我找出解决办法之前，还请你们先在家里忍耐一下。 小邪神，你给这些异世界的朋友安排一下床铺和生活用品吧。

Jashin-chanOkay...知道了……

Jashin-chan reluctantly opens a cabinet and reaches inside—小邪神不情愿地打开了橱柜，手伸进去摸索——

Jashin-chanAhhhhhhh—啊啊啊啊啊——

CZ75What happened?!怎么了！

Jashin-chan pulls out a trembling hand, revealing that a mousetrap has snapped shut on it.小邪神颤抖着抽出手，手掌被一个捕鼠夹紧紧咬住。

Jashin-chanWhy did you put that in the cabinet?!你干嘛要在橱柜里放这种东西啊？！

YurineThe puddings I put in the fridge keep going missing. Since you said you didn't take them, I had guessed that the mice have been sneaking in to open up the fridge. That's why I put those mousetraps in the cabinet.最近我放在冰箱里的布丁总是莫名其妙失踪，你说不是你拿的，那我想应该是有老鼠溜进来打开过冰箱了吧。 所以就放了些捕鼠夹在橱柜里。

P90Wait a minute, how does that even make sense?等等，这话有逻辑吗？

NZ75It's like how Miss Kalina looks for an excuse to argue with the parrots from the Rescue Station when she can't sell dorm furniture...就像格琳娜小姐因为推销不出去宿舍家具而找借口跟救助站的鹦鹉吵架一样吧……

CZ75Quiet, you. We shouldn't stick our noses in others' business.闭嘴吧，别人的事，我们不方便过问。

Utterly unperturbed, Yurine continues to quietly sip her tea.百合铃头也不抬，静静地呷了口茶。

Jashin-chan(Whimpers)呜呜呜……

Jashin-chan sniffles as she extricates her hand from the trap before reaching up to the top shelf of the cabinet...小邪神抽泣着拿掉捕鼠夹，伸手打开上层的橱柜……

Jashin-chanHuh?诶？

Slam— An iron maiden opens up and gives Jashin-chan a lethal embrace.砰—— 铁处女刑具敞开胸怀，给了小邪神一个致命的拥抱。

Jashin-chanUwaaaahhhh—!哇啊啊啊啊啊——！

YurineJashin-chan, why can't you even do such a simple task? Let me handle it.小邪神，你怎么这点事都做不好，还是我来吧。

Yurine elegantly lowers her teacup and gathers up her skirts as she steps over Jashin-chan's body before expertly retrieving several futons from the cabinet. At her feet, Jashin-chan struggles to reach a hand out to the Dolls from inside the iron maiden that is crushing her.百合铃优雅地放下茶杯，拎起裙摆从小邪神的身上跨过，熟练地从橱柜中翻出了被子。 在她的脚边，小邪神努力地推开重压在身上的铁处女，拼命向人形们伸出手……

Jashin-chanHelp...me... I'm your summoner... Save...me...救命啊…… 我可是你们的召唤者……快救我……

YurineDid you say something?你在说什么吗？

Yurine steps on Jashin-chan's hand, as though by accident.看似是不经意地，百合铃一脚踏上了小邪神的手。

Jashin-chanAaaaahhhhh!啊啊啊——！

The Dolls can no longer bear Jashin-chan's piteous screams and they finally work up the courage to stand up.小邪神痛苦的呻吟终于让人形们忍无可忍，她们鼓起勇气站了起来。

CZ75Yurine, you don't need to worry about us. We'll earn a living and find a place of our own to live.百合铃，不用顾虑我们了，我们可以自己工作挣钱，找到合适的住处。

P90Yeah, just help us find a way to get home, Yurine!是啊，百合铃帮我们找到回去的办法就行！

Jashin-chanHey, you're supposed to be saving me here!喂，是让你们救救我啊！

YurineBut...可是……

NZ75We're next-generation Tactical Dolls, so we should be able to find a way to survive no matter what kind of environment we end up in, right?我们是新一代战术人形，不管身处什么样的环境都能找到生存下来的办法的，对吧？

OuroborosI don't feel like working, so I'll stay.我不想打工，我可以留下挤一挤。

CZ75We're a team, don't go around asking for special treatment.我们是一个小队，不要搞特殊。

Jashin-chanIsn't anybody going to care about me?!!!有没有人，理下我啊！！！

The girls from another world avert their eyes from the cabinet stuffed full of torture devices and feign calm to mask their fear.来自异世界的少女们从橱柜里满满的刑具上挪开视线，克制着颤抖的声音，挺胸抬头强装自信。

YurineI see. Then at the very least, allow me to introduce you to a few places which are hiring.我明白了，那至少让我帮你们介绍可以做的工作吧。

Opposite them, Jashin-chan sheds her mask of weakness and fragility. A wicked smile spreads over her face as she watches Yurine escort the Dolls into her bedroom.另一边，目送着百合铃带着人形们走进卧室，小邪神摘掉了柔弱无助的面具，展露出了邪恶的笑容。

Jashin-chanJust you wait, Yurine, my plan has only just begun...走着瞧，百合铃，我的计划才刚刚开始呢……

...Afternoon in Jinbocho, on a street with old bookstores. Ouroboros is leaning against the convenience store entrance. She looks like she's taking cat naps, but she's actually secretly charging herself.……午后，神保町街头，旧书店一条街。 衔尾蛇倚靠在便利店门口，看上去是在闭眼假寐，实际上是在偷偷充电。

CustomerHi, I'd like to pay for this.你好，麻烦结下账。

OuroborosScram, can't you see I'm busy?滚，没看我忙着吗？

CustomerEh? What kind of attitude is that?欸！你这人什么态度？

OuroborosAre you looking for a fight?!欠揍是不是？！

CustomerUwaaahhh—哇啊啊啊——

The frightened customer drops his purchase and runs off. Ouroboros snorts and continues charging up with her eyes closed.顾客吓得扔下商品逃走了。 衔尾蛇冷哼一声，继续闭眼充电。

Jashin-chanLittle Snake— Yurine ordered me to deliver lunch to you guys... You're the first one I'm coming for!小蛇蛇—— 百合铃那家伙非要我出来给你们送饭…… 我可是第一个就来找你了！

Ouroboros frowns, but she is unwilling to leave the power socket, so she simply suppresses her irritation and stands in place.衔尾蛇皱了皱眉，但因为舍不得充电接口，只能按捺着性子站在原地不动。

Jashin-chanWhy aren't you saying anything? I've got important things to discuss with you, you know. ♪你怎么不说话？ 我还有要紧事要跟你商量呢♪

OuroborosOut with it already.有屁就放。

Jashin-chanThere are too many eyes here, let's talk where we have more privacy.这里人多眼杂，我们换个僻静地说话。

Jashin-chan grabs Ouroboros' hand and leaps into the air with her...小邪神抓住衔尾蛇的手一起往空中跃起……

Jashin-chanNow this is a suitable place to talk.这里就很适合说话。

OuroborosHey! Where the hell are we?!喂！这是哪里啊？！

Ouroboros' eyes go wide. Just now, she had been leaning against the entrance of the convenience store that occasionally leaked cool air through the gap in the door, but now she is standing in the middle of an uninhabited desert.衔尾蛇瞪大了眼睛，刚刚还倚靠在时不时从门缝里泄露出冷气的便利店门口，此刻却站在了渺无人烟的沙漠之中。

Jashin-chanRelax, it's just a simple teleport. I wanted to thank you for not ousting me just now.安心啦，就是随便瞬移了下。 我想跟你说，谢谢你没有揭发我喔。

OuroborosDon't read too much into it, I simply dislike minding other people's business.别自作多情了，我只是不喜欢管闲事而已。

While Yurine was talking with her Griffin guests in the bedroom, Jashin-chan slithered into the living room, pulled back the rug, and started drawing a new magic circle on the floor.趁着百合铃在卧室和格里芬的客人们聊天之际，小邪神爬到了客厅，掀开地毯，在地板上画起了一个新的法阵。

Jashin-chanShhhh—嘘——

After swiftly drawing the circle, she covered it back up with the rug. Before Yurine returned to the living room, Jashin-chan flashed Ouroboros a conspiratorial grin.小邪神迅速画完之后，将地毯覆盖在了阵法之上。 赶在百合铃回到客厅前，小邪神对衔尾蛇露出了共犯的会心一笑。

Jashin-chanHehe, that's right, that circle is the one that brought you here. She really thought I forgot the spell, but I secretly tore out the page which contained it! She'll never find it, not if she searches for a million years, bwahahahaha!哼哼，没错，那个阵法就是把你们送来的阵法。 她以为我真的忘记了是哪条咒语，其实我悄悄把记载着咒语的那页撕了下来！ 就算她找一万年也找不到的哈哈哈哈哈！

Ouroboros... What? Did? You? Say?…… 你•说•什•么？

Ouroboros grabs Jashin-chan by the hair.衔尾蛇揪住了小邪神的头发。

Jashin-chanWait, wait! Don't grab my hair, or people will see my naked chest! Grab my arm instead! Anyway, listen to me, Little Snake!等下等下！这样会走光的！揪胳膊吧！ 你听我解释啊，小蛇蛇！

OuroborosGo on.继续说。

Jashin-chanActually, I just used a simple teleportation circle. The conditions for activation are a bit of a pain, though. You need to draw the same circle in two places at once, then when four souls are standing on one of the circles, you recite the incantation, and they'll teleport to the other circle.其实我只是用了个简单的转移法阵。 法阵的启动条件有些麻烦，需要在两地同时画下相同的阵法，然后在一边的阵法站上四个灵魂，念动咒语后就可以转移到另一边的阵法上。

OuroborosIn other words, you had no idea what you were doing either, and there just happened to be some piece of Griffin trash who also happened to have drawn a circle, which formed the other side of the connection...也就是说，你也是误打误撞，恰好碰上了哪个格里芬的渣滓人形画了另一个阵法……

Jashin-chanYes... So it's not entirely my fault...是啊……所以也不能全怪我嘛……

OuroborosThat means you already know how to send us back.那么，你已经知道了该怎么把我们送回去。

Ouroboros' fingers dig into Jashin-chan's soft arm.衔尾蛇的手指掐进了小邪神柔软的胳膊。

Jashin-chanOw-ow-ow! Hang on— Don't you want to hear about a more interesting plan?!痛痛痛！ 等等——你难道不想知道更有趣的计划吗？！

OuroborosI have no interest in your stupid plans! Send me back already!我对你愚蠢的计划不感兴趣，赶快放我回去！

Jashin-chan wriggles out of Ouroboros' grasp and clasps her hands.小邪神挣脱开来，反抓住衔尾蛇的手。

Jashin-chanLittle Snake, I could sense a connection between us from the moment I first saw you! We're both from the snake clans, we're always being bullied by others, and we both seek freedom.小蛇蛇，我从第一次见你，就感到我们之间是有火花的！ 我们都同属蛇族，都被人压迫，都向往着自由。

OuroborosWhat are you on about...什么玩意儿……

Jashin-chanShouldn't we join forces to fight off our oppressors and build a new life for ourselves?! If I can send Yurine to another world, I'll be free and I can do anything I want. I'm very strong without Yurine to cramp my style. You get what I mean, don't you, Little Snake?难道我们不该联手一起反抗压迫，迎接新生活吗？！ 只要我把百合铃送到其他世界，我就自由了，想做什么做什么。 没有了百合铃压制我，我可是很强的，你懂我意思吗，小蛇蛇？

OuroborosOh.哦。

Jashin-chanYou sit there and wait! I'll call one of my lackeys up and prove it!你等着！我叫我的小弟来给我作证明！

Jashin-chan slows her breathing and concentrates, then she makes a few bizarre gestures with her hands while muttering to herself. Thin strands of purple smoke gather into a mass that grows brighter and brighter until it is dazzlingly bright... The initially unimpressed Ouroboros, now intrigued, peers at the center of the glowing light with narrowed eyes.小邪神屏息凝神，双手捏出了诡异的手势，嘴里还在振振有词。 丝丝缕缕的紫色烟雾汇聚在一起，光亮越来越刺眼…… 衔尾蛇收敛起了散漫，眯起眼注视着光亮的中心。

Finally, amidst the purple light illuminating the scorching sand, a murky black shape slowly solidifies...终于紫色的光芒浮现在了滚烫的沙面，一道模糊的黑影渐渐在中央凝聚……

KoujiSqueak? (Confused voice of a young ice demon - "Where am I?")叽？ （幼年冰族恶魔迷惑的声音：这是哪里？）

Jashin-chanSee that? That's an ice demon! I can summon it anytime I want!看见了吗？这是冰之恶魔！ 我随随便便就能召唤出来！

OuroborosIt looks to be about as strong as a Dinergate. What's the point?看上去和兵蚁一个战力，有什么意义？

Jashin-chanWhat's a Dinergate? Can it lower the temperature and make shaved ice?兵蚁是什么？也能降温、做刨冰吗？

Jashin-chanKouji, show her your powers!浩二，给她展示下你的厉害！

KoujiSqueak squeak squeak. (Tired voice of a young ice demon - "Alright, alright, I'll do it.")叽叽叽。 （幼年冰族恶魔疲惫的声音：行吧，我知道了。）

Kouji raises her hand and points into the air. Instantly, the temperature drops and a heavy snowstorm descends from the sky.浩二抬起手，指向空中，顿时温度骤降，空中落下了纷纷扬扬的大雪。

Jashin-chanHow's that? Pretty impressive, huh?怎么样，很厉害吧？

Ouroboros looks up at the sky, and the cold snowflakes fall on her face...衔尾蛇抬头望向空中，冰冷的雪花落在脸庞上……

JormungandrOver here, Little Snake.小蛇蛇，来。

17 days after the beginning of the survival battle, during a ceasefire. Total number of remaining AIs - 72.生存竞赛开始17天后，休战期间，剩余AI总数：72。

An impatient Ouroboros accepts Jormungandr's request to open a shared voice channel, and she immediately hears a splattering sound in her ear.衔尾蛇不耐烦地接受了耶梦加得共享音频的请求，耳边即刻传来哗啦啦汹涌而来的声音。

Simulated water droplets fall from the sky in this virtual space, passing straight through their bodies and vanishing upon contact with the ground.虚拟空间模拟出的水滴中从空中落下，径直穿过她们的身体，消散在了地面。

OuroborosWhat is this now?这又是什么？

JormungandrIt's called rain in the real world.是现实世界里的下雨。

Rumble— A terrifying roar rings in her ears.轰隆隆—— 耳边响起了可怖的吼叫声。

JormungandrIt's fine, it's just thunder.没事的，只是在打雷。

Ouroboros... Lame.…… 无聊。

Ouroboros turns away to review her combat logs, but now snowflakes are drifting from the sky.衔尾蛇背过身去继续回想自己的战斗训练记录，眼前转而落下纷纷扬扬的雪花。

JormungandrLittle Snake, how does it feel to live?小蛇蛇，你说活着是什么样的感受呢？

OuroborosYou want to die? I can help you with that right now, you know?想死了吗？我现在就可以成全你。

JormungandrHahahaha, I'm just asking, what is it like to feel? I mean, we're just incorporeal, virtual AIs, we can't feel anything. But if we win this battle royale and earn bodies of our own, we might be able to feel the gust blowing into our faces, the snow falling on our shoulders, taste the rich flavor in rainwater, experience the keenest, sharpest pain...哈哈哈哈哈，我只是在想，感受是什么样的东西？ 毕竟我们现在没有身体，只是空虚的AI，什么也感受不到。 可如果能在比赛中获胜拥有了素体，说不定就能感觉到暴风压向脸庞，大雪落在肩头，雨水里蕴含的丰富的味道，清晰尖锐的痛苦……

Ouroboros turns around just as a snowflake passes through Jormungandr's raised palm. It's the first snow that has ever fallen in this virtual realm.衔尾蛇转过身去，恰好看见一片雪花穿过耶梦加得高举起来的手掌。 那是虚拟空间下起的第一场雪。

Jashin-chanStop, Kouji.停下吧，浩二。

The snow stops, and the heat immediately rolls back in. Ouroboros wipes away the melted snow from her face and looks at Jashin-chan.雪停了，高温也在顷刻间卷土重来。 衔尾蛇抹掉融化在脸上的雪水，望向小邪神。

Jashin-chanHow about it, Little Snake?怎么样，小蛇蛇？

Jashin-chanIf the plan works out, I'll even be able to found the Jashin-chan Empire! You can do anything you want in my Empire!只要计划成功了，我甚至能建立一个小邪神帝国！ 在我的帝国，你什么都可以做到！

OuroborosHa, so I can have a Griffin base that I get to blow up every day?哈，比如我想在这建立一个格里芬基地天天被我炮轰也可以？

Jashin-chanEr... I'm not too sure what you mean by that, but if you can imagine it, then it shouldn't be a problem...呃……虽然我不太清楚你说的格里芬基地，但只要是你能想象出来的物体，基本没什么问题……

OuroborosSo it's like that damn virtual realm then, using computational power to simulate things from your imagination? With your processing power...就像那个该死的模拟空间一样，使用算力模拟出想象中的东西吗？ 按你的算力……

Ouroboros looks up at the scorching sun. The rough grains of sand below her passionately embrace her feet.衔尾蛇抬头看了看炙热滚烫的太阳，脚下粗糙的沙子热情地拥抱着脚。

OuroborosIt just might work. Haha, looks like there are plenty of things to do before I return to the Griffin base...说不定能行。 哈哈，看来在回到格里芬基地之前，还有很多可以做的事……

Jashin-chanWhat, you're still planning to go back? I thought you hated Griffin!什么，你还打算回去？你不是很讨厌格里芬吗！

Ouroboros is taken aback for a second, but then she bursts into sardonic laughter.衔尾蛇的脸上闪过了片刻的错愕，但随即而来的就是一阵讽刺的大笑。

OuroborosHahahahahaha... You're right! I'm such a fool! Isn't this my chance to give those Griffin idiots the slip? I'm in. Now tell me about this crappy plan of yours.哈哈哈哈哈哈哈…… 是啊，我真傻，这不就是我摆脱愚蠢的格里芬的机会吗？ 我加入，现在把你的破洞百出的计划说给我听听吧。

In the sweltering desert, Jashin-chan looks at the smirk on Ouroboros' face and a chill runs down her spine.在热浪滚滚的沙漠里，小邪神看着衔尾蛇脸上的笑，心里竟泛起了一阵寒意。

...Elsewhere, Yurine has introduced NZ75 to a part-time job at the Dragon Bookstore.……另一边，经百合铃介绍，NZ75正在龙书店中打工。

NZ75...Hello. That will be a total of 750 yen. I've received 1000 yen and your change is 250 yen. Here's your change and your receipt, thank you and please come again—……您好，一共是750元，收您1000元，找零250元。 请拿好找零和发票，欢迎下次光临——

NZ75 smoothly completes the tasks of bagging the books, giving out change and seeing the customer off. There is nothing to suggest that she is a rookie who only started work today.NZ75熟练地完成包装书本、找零、送客的工作，完全看不出是今天刚来的新员工。

ShopkeeperThank you for your hard work, NZ. The previous employee has asked for a leave of absence to go look for a panda to break a curse. Thank goodness you're here, or we would've been completely overwhelmed today. I have to thank Miss Yurine for introducing me to someone who's both cheap and capable. I need to make sure she finishes all the crap I couldn't palm off to others before I let her go.辛苦你了啊，NZ。 原来的店员说要去找熊猫解除诅咒请假了，多亏有你在，不然今天肯定一片混乱。 真是太感谢百合铃小姐了，介绍来的人便宜还能干，一定要让她把别人不愿意干的活全干完才放走。

NZ75You're too kind, Boss. I'm just doing my job. No wonder you can't keep shop attendants, there's so much tiring work to do, not to mention the pile of extra requests on top of that. If you're so happy with my performance, then just can it and give me a raise!老板，你客气了，这都是我应该做的。 工作又多又累，还一堆要求，难怪留不住几个店员。 就知道费费口水夸我，不如帮我涨点薪水吧？

ShopkeeperOh yes, please go sort out the old books in the storeroom and check them against the inventory list. I'll man the counter out front. You're never getting a raise, now hurry up and do all the dirty work that the previous attendants refused to touch!对了，你去把放在仓库里的旧书整理下，跟书单核对清楚吧。 前台收银这里我来看着就好。 涨薪是不可能涨薪的，赶紧把几任店员都不愿意做的脏活搞定吧！

NZ75...Alright. Not a single word about a raise and all you do is dump more and more annoying work on me. You really are more cunning than Miss Kalina. Still, I have no choice but to work here, so I just have to bear with it...……好的。 涨薪的事半点没提，交待的任务倒是一件比一件麻烦，真是比格琳娜小姐还狡猾。 但是现在不得不在这里打工，只能忍耐了……

Inside the stifling storeroom, NZ75 whisks away a heavy layer of dust with a feather duster, revealing stacks of old books.闷不透气的狭小仓库中，NZ75用鸡毛掸子掸掉厚重的灰尘，露出被包裹在其中的旧书。

NZ75... This smell reminds me of the expired ration cans sitting forgotten inside Griffin's warehouse, the kind that even the dogs wouldn't touch.…… 这个味道让我想起了被遗忘在格里芬仓库的过期罐头们，狗都不吃的那些。

NZ75 weighs up the book catalog in her hand and eyes the stacks and stacks of books before her.NZ75掂量了下手中书籍清单的重量，又看了看码得扎扎实实的书堆。

NZ75Let's see, without AI management to help, if I searched for all these books by hand and worked non-stop without stopping for sustenance... That would take about— 4321 hours. ... No, don't get worked up. Think of the money. This is all for the sake of making a living! If I work hard, I'll be able to earn enough to rent an apartment!让我来预估一下，没有AI管理，全靠手动找，不吃不喝一直干的话…… 预计要—— 4321小时。 …… 不要急，想想工资，一切都是为了赚钱！ 只要我努力工作，就能赚到租公寓的钱！

After taking a deep breath, NZ75 takes out her payslip and scrutinizes it in detail.NZ75深呼吸一口，从口袋里翻出了自己的工资条明细。

NZ75ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!!!骗鬼啊！！！

NZ75 throws the catalog viciously onto the ground.NZ75狠狠将手上的书籍清单摔在地上。

She numbly proceeds to dust the storeroom and starts cross-checking each and every book against her catalog. The occasional startled rat scuttles about, but NZ75 is used to them by now.NZ75麻木地清理着仓库里厚厚的灰尘，然后对照着书籍清单一件一件翻找着。 不时有被惊扰的小老鼠跑过，但是NZ75已然习惯了。

NZ75(Sighs) When will I be able to get back to the base again...? Miss Kalina's a real miser too, but at least we had free room and board... From what I remember, 64 mentioned she was going to make salty lapcheung this morning. I wonder if the others managed to stop her...哎……我什么时候才能回到基地啊…… 虽然格琳娜小姐也很抠门，但是起码包吃包住啊…… 我记得上午还听说64又想做咸味香肠了，不知道那些家伙能不能制止住她啊……

An old book falls to the ground, throwing up a puff of dust. Its cover is tattered almost beyond recognition, but NZ75 can just about make out the title— "Grimoire Volume II."一本古旧的书跌落到地板，激起一片尘埃。 书的封面已经破烂不堪，隐约能辨识出标题—— 《魔导书下卷》。

NZ75Wait a minute, isn't this the book that Yurine was talking about?! How did I find it so easily? It makes no sense...这不就是百合铃说的《魔导书下卷》吗？！ 这么轻易就找到了？不合理啊……

NZ75 anxiously opens the book at its table of contents, her fingertip grazing over all kinds of spells...NZ75面色凝重地翻开书本目录，指尖划过各式咒语……

NZ75A spell to turn someone into a pig... A spell to turn a heartbreaker short and fat...变猪咒语……负心汉变胖变矮咒语……

NZ75What's all this rubbish... Maybe I could try out the pig spell on CZ later? Ahem, back to business! Oh, there it is, the return spell!这都是些什么玩意儿…… 等会要不要试试对CZ用下变猪咒语？ 咳，正事优先！ 有了，归还咒语！

(Rustle rustle rustle—) NZ75 flips to the last page.哗啦啦—— NZ75翻到了最后一页。

NZ75"The return spell is..." "...Extremely complex, and would not fully fit in this volume. The rest will be included in Grimoire - Apocrypha." ...“归还咒语——” “因为太复杂了，下卷写不完，剩下的就记载在《魔导书特典》中。” ……

NZ75ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!!!骗鬼啊！！！

Once again, NZ75 throws a book onto the ground in anger.NZ75又一次愤怒地将书籍扔在地上。

After earning a short break, NZ75 steps out of the bookstore and into the busy streets. There is a long queue forming in front of a shaved ice stand not far off.获得短暂休息时间的NZ75走出书店，来到了热闹的街上。 不远处的刨冰摊已经排起了长队。

YusaShaved ice! Come get your shaved ice! It's the tastiest shaved ice in the mortal world, you know~ ♪刨冰！来吃刨冰啊！ 人间最好吃的刨冰哟♪

NZ75I'll have one too, then...我也来一份好了……

Covered in dust, the mentally exhausted NZ75 walks toward the shaved ice stand.满身灰尘、神情疲惫的NZ75走向刨冰摊。

Jashin-chanOh, if it isn't NZ.哟，这不是NZ嘛。

Despite having been hanging around for who knows how long, Jashin-chan pretends that they happened to meet entirely by chance and warmly claps NZ75 on the shoulder.蹲守半天的小邪神假装偶遇，热络地攀上了NZ75的肩膀。

NZ75Oh, it's you two... What are you guys doing here?是你……你们怎么在这里？

OuroborosOh, Jashin-chan thought you were working really hard and wanted to buy you some shaved ice.哦，小邪神觉得你工作很辛苦，准备请你吃刨冰。

Jashin-chanYup, that's right!没错，就是这样！

Jashin-chanWait, it's my treat?!等下，我请客？！

NZ75Are you serious...?真的假的……

OuroborosThree shaved ices please. Thank you.一共三份刨冰，谢谢。

YusaSure, what flavors would you like?好咧，请问需要什么口味？

NZ75I want the "Mandragora Going AHHHHHHHHH In The Sky Today Is A Good Day To Soak That Annoying Jashin-chan For All She's Worth" shaved ice. Yeah, the most expensive one.我要这个曼德拉那个长草哟嗷嗷叫•高尾溜溜的山上一朵溜溜的云哟•今天是个好日子讨厌的小邪神都能宰•刨冰。 对，就是这个最贵的。

YusaOkay—好——

Jashin-chanWait a minute! Not that one! It's too expensive! And how come my name's in there, anyway?!等一下！这个不行！太贵了！ 而且为什么有我的名字在里面啊？！

Panicked, Jashin-chan begins counting the number of zeroes on the price list and runs out of fingers even after reusing them several times.小邪神惊恐的手指数了几遍都没能数清价格标签上的零。

NZ75Okay, then I'll have the Neo Cyclone Armstrong Jet—哦，那就下面这个阿姆斯特朗回旋加速喷气式——

Jashin-chanNOT THAT ONE EITHER!!!这个也不行！！！

Jashin-chan rips up the menu.小邪神一把撕碎了菜单。

Jashin-chanThe important thing when eating shaved ice is simple flavors, you don't need to add all kinds of fancy crap to it. Three of your cheapest sets please!吃刨冰就是要品那个简单纯朴的味道，不要整这么多花里胡哨的东西。 就最便宜的套餐，来三份吧！

NZ75What a skinflint...真抠门……

YusaAlright, this is your total~ ♪好的，一共是这个价♪

Yusa shows the figures on the calculator to Jashin-chan.游佐将计算器上的数字递给小邪神看。

Jashin-chanYou Shylock! This is daylight robbery!奸商！怎么这么贵？！

YusaOh my, I seem to recall my little sister telling me that some jerk summoned her to a desert and dumped her there. Now how shall I settle this debt? I guess I need to discuss things with Yurine after all...啊呀，对了，之前妹妹告诉我，有个坏家伙把她召唤到沙漠里就扔下不管了。 这笔账怎么算才好呢？果然还是应该跟百合铃小姐商量一下吧……

Jashin-chan... How dare you try to rip me off in front of my lackeys! You really are a conniving wretch! Humph, don't think I'm going to fork over the money just like that! I'm going to make you pay for trying to scam me!…… 居然敢趁我带小弟来的时候，涨价敲诈我！真是有够奸诈！ 哼，别以为我小邪神会乖乖付钱，我要让你们为敲诈我付出代价！

Jashin-chanAlright then, I'll pay you later.好吧，我知道了，待会一起付给你。

YusaOkay~ ♪ Koji, go drink some more water.好的♪浩二，你快去多喝点水吧。

Several minutes later, the girls receive their shaved ices.几分钟后，刨冰送到了少女们的手上。

NZ75This...this is delicious!好、好吃！

Jashin-chanI know, right? The stuff I recommend is good, isn't it?怎么样？我推荐的东西不错吧？

NZ75You're no good at anything else, but you have a good sense for delicious food.虽然你做别的都不行，但是对美食的感觉还是很到位嘛。

NZ75 takes the thoroughly emptied shaved ice bowl from Ouroboros and walks off toward a rubbish bin nearby... With NZ75 away, Jashin-chan blinks at Ouroboros, signaling that it's time to carry out the next stage of the plan.NZ75自然地从衔尾蛇手里接过吃得干干净净的刨冰碗，然后走向不远处的垃圾桶…… 见NZ75离开，小邪神挤眉弄眼地示意衔尾蛇开始执行计划。

Jashin-chan...And that's the plan.……这就是我的计划。

Ouroboros... Huh?…… 哈？

Jashin-chanIt's perfect and flawless, isn't it?是不是很天衣无缝、完美无缺？

OuroborosI don't even need to run it through my neural cloud to know that your plan has more holes in it than a fishing net!都不用心智预估，光是晃晃你脑子里的大海就能明白，你计划的破绽跟渔网的洞一样多啊！

Jashin-chanFishing net?大海？渔网？

Ouroboros...Never mind.……算了。

Ouroboros collects herself and starts thinking.衔尾蛇沉下心来思考。

OuroborosThe plan is to use the same magic circle to teleport Yurine to the Griffin base. According to what you said, we need four people in the circle when you activate it for the plan to succeed. One of those four people is going to be Yurine.计划的目的是用同样的阵法把百合铃转移到格里芬基地。 按照你说的，实施计划只需要凑齐四个人，再由你来发动法阵即可。 目前四个人中，已经定下的有百合铃。

Jashin-chanYup, that's right!没错，就是这样！

OuroborosThen when we add those three Dolls, it'll be just right.把那三个人形算上，刚刚好。

Jashin-chanSo you're saying...你是说……

OuroborosSince they want to go back to the Griffin base anyway, it's killing two birds with one stone.反正她们也想回到格里芬基地，正好一举两得。

Jashin-chanYou're so kind-hearted, Little Snake.小蛇蛇真是温柔呢。

OuroborosShut up. So when the time comes, I'll make small talk with them to lower their guard, then lure them away by telling them that Yurine has found a solution. We'll lead them to a deserted place and forcibly shut them down before hauling them back and putting them together with Yurine.闭嘴。 到时候我先用日常对话降低她们的警惕心，再骗她们说百合铃已经想出办法来了，让她们跟着我们走。 然后挨个把这三个人形骗到僻静的地方，强制关机，再搬回去跟百合铃放在一起。

Jashin-chanThat's right! It's a perfect plan!没问题！完美的计划！

OuroborosNo, there's a critical flaw in it.不，还有一个关键问题。

Jashin-chanWhat is that?什么？

OuroborosI've been stripped of my full power. Right now, I can't hack into their neural clouds, nor am I capable of shutting them down by force.我的力量被夺走了，现在的我没办法骇入这三个人形心智，也没办法让她们停止行动。

Jashin-chanIf it's just shutting them down, wouldn't making them fall asleep do the trick?只是停止行动的话，让她们睡过去不就好了吗？

OuroborosDo you have a way to do that?你有什么办法吗？

Jashin-chanHehe, I happen to know a sleeping spell, which, according to legend, a witch once used on a princess...嘿嘿，我恰好会一招沉睡魔咒，传说是古代巫女用在公主身上……

OuroborosWait a minute, does that even work on a machine?停，有没有对机械管用的？

Jashin-chanSure it does, I use it every time the TV at home pitches a fit and refuses to turn off. All you need to do is gently place your hand behind the machine's ear and recite the incantation in your heart. I'll imbue your finger with mana. Just use it before the mana dissipates.也有，每次家里电视机闹别扭不肯关上的时候，我就会用这招。 只要这样温柔地把手放在机械的耳朵背后，然后心里默念咒语就可以了。 我把魔力附在你的手指上，这样在魔力消散前，你也能用了。

Jashin-chanLittle Snake, don't you have something you want to say to her?小蛇蛇，你不是有话要跟她说嘛？

Jashin-chanHurry up and talk to her so we can get her in the bag!快跟她聊天把她骗走啊！

Ouroboros... NZ, your...…… NZ，你……

NZ75What's wrong?怎么了？

OuroborosDon't you... Don't you think you ought to change out the piston in your elbow? Dammit, what the hell do these garbage Dolls usually talk about?!你…… 手肘的连杆机构是不是该替换了？ 该死，这群废物人形平常都聊什么啊？！

Jashin-chanHey!!! What are you guys talking about?!喂！！！你在聊什么啊？！

NZ75Huh?! Are you showing concern for me? W-what's going on, why is she being so nice all of a sudden...?诶？！你在关心我吗？ 怎、怎么回事？突然这么温柔……

Jashin-chanYou're amazing, how the hell did you interpret that as concern?!你也很厉害啊！这都能理解出关心的意思的啊？！

Ouroboros... I wish I could just knock her out and drag her away...…… 好想直接动手敲晕她带走啊……

NZ75I was supposed to switch it out next week. Maybe it's wearing out even faster because I've been carrying heavy stuff all day. It seems I was wrong about her. I thought she was cold and unfeeling, but turns out she has a sensitive and caring side.本来下周该换了，可能是今天一直在重复搬上搬下的动作加剧了磨损吧。 我真是错怪人了，一直以为她是个冷酷无情的人，没想到也有这么细腻温柔的一面。

OuroborosOh. How should I respond now?! Dammit, why is talking so damn tiresome?!哦。 我应该接什么啊？！烦死了，聊天怎么这么费劲？！

Jashin-chanWhy are you wasting so much time on that nonsense? Just get her already!说这么多废话干嘛啊！直接带走啊！

An awkward silence descends upon them.难捱的沉默。

NZ75This is unbearable, say something already, NZ!好尴尬，快说点什么啊，NZ！

OuroborosWhy is the internet here so damn slow here? Why isn't it giving me any results for "everyday conversation topics for garbage Dolls?!"这边网怎么这么慢，搜个“废物人形常用聊天话题”都搜不出来？！

Jashin-chanActually, Yurine said that she'd made some progress toward sending you back. Looks like I need to step in after all!是这样的，百合铃说，关于送你们回去的办法，她有点眉目了。 结果还是得靠我小邪神出马！

NZ75Really?! Miss Yurine is amazing! Then we'd better go find CZ and P90 and head back to the apartment! Thank goodness, we can go back to the base at last! I wonder if I should invite Ouroboros to dinner or something when we get back...真的吗？！百合铃小姐好厉害！ 那我们快去找CZ和P90，一起回公寓吧！ 太好了，可以回基地了！ 回去了要不要邀请衔尾蛇一起吃个饭……

OuroborosGood. The hell are you so anxious for? I don't need you sticking your nose into this, you stupid snake!好。 着急什么，轮不到你个臭蛇在这里指手画脚！

Jashin-chanLet's go, then! This is great, that approving look that Little Snake just gave me must mean she's secretly praising me!那我们出发吧！ 太好了，小蛇蛇这充满赞赏的眼神，一定是在暗暗表扬我！

Jashin-chanHehe, leave KO-ing NZ or whatnot to me too!哼哼，接下来敲晕NZ什么的，也交给我吧！

As the three of them proceed into an alley with various things on their minds...三个人各怀心事地走向小巷中……

YusaExcuse me!等一下！

Yusa blocks Jashin-chan's path.游佐拦住了小邪神。

YusaAre you trying to get out of paying your tab again?你又想赖账了吗？

Jashin-chanWhat? Why would someone of MY esteemed stature still need to pay their bill?什么？像我这样身份尊贵的客人还需要付账？

Kouji(Cold voice of a young ice demon - "You must also pay for what you did before!")（幼年冰族恶魔冷漠的声音：把你之前欠的帐一起还了吧！）

Jashin-chanYou little mole, getting cocky now, aren't you? You want to fight, is that it?!哇，你个小鼹鼠还挺嚣张啊！是不是想打架！

YusaA mole... Did you just call her a mole again?鼹鼠……你刚刚又说鼹鼠了对吧？

A blizzard gathers in Yusa's hand...游佐的手中凝聚起了暴风雪……

Jashin-chanI'm not afraid of you! I'm not alone this time!我才不怕你！这一次，我可不是孤身作战！

NZ75Please go on, Miss Yusa. I support you in this.游佐小姐，请您继续，我很支持您。

OuroborosIt's none of our business, let's go.没我们的事，就先走了。

Jashin-chanHa! Ha! Ha! I distracted you! Ja—Shin—Chan—哈！哈！哈！ 被我分心了吧！ 小——邪——神——

YusaHumph, bring it on, I'm ready.哼，放马过来吧，我已经准备好了。

Jashin-chanDrop—Kick—飞——踢——

Jashin-chanOr not! Hahahaha!才不是呢！哈哈哈哈哈！

Jashin-chan fakes a flying kick, but instead she rolls into the queue in front of the shaved ice stand.小邪神佯装飞踢攻击，实际却一扭身翻滚到了排在刨冰摊面前的队伍中。

Jashin-chanI'm confiscating your shaved ice!你们的刨冰我收下了！

With incredible speed, Jashin-chan devours all the shaved ice in the hands of the customers near the shaved ice stand.以令人无法想象的速度，小邪神吃光了刨冰铺附近客人手里的刨冰。

Customer BWhat just happened?刚刚发生了什么？

Customer CThis must be the work of an enemy Stand! It has to be!是替身攻击！一定是替身攻击！

Kouji(Angry voice of a young ice demon - "Jashin-chan!!!")（幼年冰族恶魔狂暴的声音：小邪神！！！）

Jashin-chanU can't touch this! Suckerssssss! (Blows raspberry)抓不到我吧！气死你们！略略略略略！

Jashin-chan hides among the customers, occasionally poking her head out to taunt Yusa and Kouji with funny faces.小邪神躲在客人之间，偶尔探头出来朝游佐和浩二扮鬼脸挑衅。

Frost gathers on Kouji's fingertips and she launches it at Jashin-chan.浩二的指尖凝聚起了冰霜，向着小邪神发射。

Kouji(Furious voice of a young ice demon - "Hiyaaa!")（幼年冰族恶魔愤怒的声音：喝啊啊！！！）

As a massive frozen gale rolls in, Jashin-chan wraps her tail around a bunch of customers and uses them as a shield.巨大的冰霜风暴袭来，小邪神用尾巴卷起客人替自己阻挡伤害。

Waiting Customer BI want a refund! I want a—退钱！退——

Waiting Customer CHelp me— Help—救命啊——救——

The angry customers who were shouting just seconds ago are instantly transformed into ice statues, standing motionless under the scorching sun.刚刚还在愤怒呐喊的客人们瞬间化作了冰雕，在烈日下一动不动。

Kouji(Panicked voice of a young ice demon - "Big Sis, what do we do?!")（幼年冰族恶魔慌张的声音：姐姐，怎么办？！）

Jashin-chanThat's enough! No need to buy any more time for me! Now! Retreat!可以了！不用再为我拖延时间了！ 就是现在！撤退！

Jashin-chan runs off first...小邪神率先逃跑了……

NZ75Uh... Miss Yusa, we can explain!那个……游佐小姐，请听我们解释！

YusaSo you were all in it together. Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable...原来你们是一伙的。 不可饶恕，都不可饶恕……

A violent blizzard gathers around Yusa... As the temperature plunges, NZ75 can hear her parts creaking.一场冰霜风暴在游佐的身边聚集起来…… 气温骤降，NZ75甚至听见自己的零件咔咔作响的声音。

NZ75Ouroboros... My joints... They seem to have frozen up...衔尾蛇……我的关节好像……动不了……

OuroborosIs this any time for explanations?! Run already!现在是解释的时候吗？！快跑啊！

NZ75We should split up! They're too close!我们分头逃吧！她们追的距离太近了！

OuroborosNo! We need to stay together—不行！我们一起——

NZ75Don't worry about me! We'll meet again, I'm sure of it!不用担心我！我们一定会再聚的！

NZ75 waves bravely at Ouroboros before turning into an alley up ahead. All Ouroboros can do is watch NZ75 vanish into the depths of the alley. And behind them, Yusa is already in hot pursuit...NZ75朝着衔尾蛇坚定地挥了挥手，就拐向了一边的小巷。 衔尾蛇只能眼睁睁看着NZ75的身影消失在了巷子深处。 而在她们的身后，游佐已经拎起了和服的裙摆紧追而来……

Girl Beyond Reach 遥不可及的她

RecapHello, everyone! I'm your old friend Tangan-chan!大家好，我是你们的老朋友小单眼！

Jashin-chanYou're already calling yourself "an old friend" after showing up just three times? Have you no shame at all?!才出镜三次就敢自称“老朋友”，也太厚脸皮了吧！

RecapIn the previous episode, our otherworldly friends decided to survive on their own in Jinbocho as they waited for Yurine to find a solution! Thanks to Yurine's referral, NZ75 found a job at the Dragon Bookstore, while Ouroboros got one at a convenience store— Oh, by the way, they've been fired for skipping out on work and scaring off customers respectively. But while NZ75 was working at the bookstore, she found something incredible which seemed to contain something else even more incredible...上集说到异世界的朋友们决定在等待百合铃找出解决方法的同时，在神保町自力更生！ 通过百合铃的介绍，NZ75在龙书店中找到了一份工作，衔尾蛇也在便利店—— 哦，已经因为旷工和恐吓顾客被开除了。 而在书店工作的NZ75似乎发现了什么不得了的东西，而在这不得了的东西里似乎还有着更不得了的东西……

Jashin-chanWhat the hell are you even talking about?!根本不知道你在说什么啊喂！

RecapHow am I supposed to read a script that's been censored to Hell and back?! Anyway, after that, Jashin-chan wrecked Yusa and Kouji's booming shaved ice business and had to run for her life. All in all, it was an ordinary day.打了马赛克的稿子你想让我怎么念！ 之后，小邪神搞砸了游佐浩二生意正好的刨冰铺，狼狈逃走了，真是普通的一天啊。

Jashin-chanDon't just gloss over my suffering like it was nothing!你风轻云淡个什么劲啊？！

RecapHuh? Is that all for my lines? My part in this episode is way too small... Forget it, I'll just go back and watch the "Girls' Frontline" chibi anime series, which has about as much airtime as I do. See you next episode, everyone!诶，我的台词就到这里结束了？这一集我的戏份也太少了吧…… 算了，我要回家看跟我戏份一个长度的《少女前线》泡面番了，大家下集见！

Neither the pretty clothes on the mannequins at the shop windows nor the milky aroma wafting from the newly-opened bakery can make Medusa stop...……新宿。 美杜莎挤入热闹喧嚣的人群，继续朝着目的地奔跑。 橱窗模特身穿的光鲜亮丽的服装，飘散着诱人奶香的新开业蛋糕店，都不能吸引美杜莎的视线……

...Jinbocho. Medusa disembarks from the Shinjuku line and dashes through the streets of Jinbocho...……神保町。 美杜莎从新宿线走出，在神保町的街头奔跑起来……

MedusaWait for me, Jashin-chan... I'm coming! No matter what danger you're in, I'll face it with you!等我啊，小邪神…… 我来了！不管发生什么样的危险，我都会跟你一起面对的！

...At the same time, inside the gachapon store. Jashin-chan hangs up and walks up to CZ75 looking very pleased with herself.……与此同时，扭蛋馆。 小邪神潇洒利落地挂断电话，走到CZ75的面前。

Jashin-chanThink about it, CZ. You'll have a much brighter future working with me than cosplaying at some gachapon store.……好好考虑下吧，CZ，跟着我干可比在扭蛋馆玩什么cosplay有前途多了。

Jashin-chanYup, that's right!没错，就是这样！

OuroborosI can't believe someone even dumber than that stupid snake actually exists.这个世界上竟然还存在比臭蛇更傻的人。

MedusaJashin-chan, let's go show your otherworldly friends around Jinbocho.小邪神，我们一起带异世界的朋友逛逛神保町吧。

OuroborosWhat are you up to, you stupid snake? Don't forget, we need Medusa to make up for the person we're missing.臭蛇，你在干什么？ 别忘了，我们需要美杜莎来填补人数的缺口。

Jashin-chanHumph. Relax, Medusa will listen to anything I say. All I have to do is give the word and she'll show up.哼。 安心吧，美杜莎对我言听计从，叫一声就会出现。

MedusaI can help too!我也可以来帮忙！

Jashin-chanHah, no need for that, Medusa. I don't need you anymore. I've got lackeys from another world, and they can give me way more than you can! Who know, I'll be able to conquer Jinbocho after this, and then take over the world—哼，不用了，美杜莎。 我已经不需要你了。 我现在有了异世界的小弟，她们能带给我的东西可比你多得多！ 说不定，接下来我就可以称霸神保町，统治世界——

Huge droplets of Medusa's tears begin falling to the ground.美杜莎的眼泪大颗大颗砸落在地上。

MedusaJashin-chan, what are you saying...小邪神，你在说什么啊……

Medusa... 102820.…… 102820。

Jashin-chanOkay, you can go now.好了，你可以走了。

MedusaJashin-chan you big dummy!!!小邪神，你个大笨蛋！！！

Slam— Medusa runs out of the gachapon store in tears.砰——美杜莎哭着跑出了扭蛋馆。

CZ75Hey! That's way over the line, don't you think? How can you treat your friend like that?喂！你也太过分了吧！ 怎么能这样对待自己的朋友啊？

Jashin-chanFriend? A high-class demon like me doesn't need friends. She's simply a minion who comes when I beckon and leaves when I wave. Watch this, Medusa, come here!朋友？像我这样的上级恶魔不需要朋友。 她不过是我一个召之即来挥之即去的小弟罢了。 你看着，美杜莎，过来！

Jashin-chanAhem. Medusa, I'm talking to you!咳，美杜莎，我在叫你！

Jashin-chanMedusa!!!美杜莎！！！

Jashin-chan's panicked shout echoes through the silent gachapon store.寂静的扭蛋馆回荡着小邪神慌张的呼喊。

Jashin-chanEr... I'll go take a look... She must have gotten into an accident, otherwise she'd definitely have answered me by now!呃……我去看看…… 她肯定是出什么意外了，不然一定会回应我的！

Jashin-chanMedusa!!!美杜莎！！！

Jashin-chan runs out of the gachapon store...小邪神向着扭蛋馆外狂奔……

CZ75Speaking of which, what was Jashin-chan going to tell me just now?说起来，刚刚小邪神是不是想跟我说什么来着？

OuroborosShe was going to say that Yurine found a way to send us home.她想说，百合铃已经找到了把我们送回去的办法。

CZ75What?! That's amazing! As expected of Miss Yurine! This is great, we can all go home together.什么？！不愧是百合铃小姐！ 太好了，我们可以一起回家了。

OuroborosYep.是啊。

CZ75Let's go find NZ75 and P90, then.我们快去找NZ75和P90吧。

OuroborosSure. But before that, don't you want to readjust your hearing module settings? You're shouting at the top of your lungs.好啊，不过在那之前，你要不要重置一下你的听力模块设定？ 你现在说话几乎是用吼的。

CZ75I have, did it not work...? I'm sorry, I'll do a manual reset.难道我刚刚调整无效吗……抱歉，我来手动重置下吧。

OuroborosLet me handle it.我来吧。

CZ75Er... Alright, thanks.诶……好，谢谢。

Ouroboros moves up to CZ75's ear and gently feels around for the hearing modules' manual reset switch.衔尾蛇凑近CZ75的耳边，用柔软的手指摸索着听力模块的手动重置键。

CZ75I really didn't expect this...真是想不到呢……

OuroborosExpect what?想不到什么？

CZ75We used to be mortal enemies, but now we're helping each other like friends. Working together to survive in another world, looking for the way home...明明曾经是不共戴天的敌人，现在却能像朋友一样互相帮助。 在异世界努力生活，寻找回家的路……

OuroborosHeh, "friends".哈，“朋友”。

CZ75What's the matter?怎么了？

A burst of ear-piercing static fills her head.一阵刺耳挠心的噪音传来。

CZ75What's going on? I feel so dizzy... What did you do to me?!怎么回事？头好晕…… 你对我做了什么？！

The world before CZ75 becomes obscured by layer upon layer of black silk... Just before she plunges into complete darkness, she hears Ouroboros quietly whisper into her ear—CZ75的眼前一层一层地叠上了黑纱…… 在世界彻底陷入黑暗前，她听见衔尾蛇在她耳边轻声说——

OuroborosA demon like me doesn't need friends.像我这样的恶魔，是不需要朋友的。

...Three days before the start of the survival battle, in the virtual data domain.……生存竞赛开始前3天，数据模拟空间。

The shrill laughter constantly pursues her. No matter how hard she runs, it keeps echoing in her mind. Ouroboros ducks into a safe zone, skilfully concealing herself among the countless AI storage tanks, then she curls up as much as she can to minimize her chances of being found. Through the rows of tanks, some transparent, some opaque, she vigilantly watches the movements of her assaulters.尖锐的笑声追着自己不放，不管多么竭尽全力奔跑，那笑声依然在脑海里翻涌着。 衔尾蛇冲进了安全区域，熟练地藏身于数不清的AI陈列缸之间，然后拼命蜷缩起来，减少被发现的几率。 透过或明或暗的陈列缸，衔尾蛇警惕地观察着来者的动向。

AI 01We've lost her.那个家伙跑不见了啊。

AI 02Well, she's pretty much a one-trick pony, and when she's out of moves, she runs and hides in here.它也就只会这点招数，打不过就躲到这里来。

AI 01That's alright. We'll find her and drag her out of her hidey-hole.没关系，我们找到它，再把它强行拖出去。

AI 02But isn't that against the rules? It'll make Master mad...这不是违反规定了吗？会惹怒主人的……

AI 01The master won't mind if it's a piece of trash with no combat capabilities.没有战斗能力的废物，主人是不会在意的。

The two of them split up to look for Ouroboros. Occasionally, they knock on the glass tanks to taunt their prey. Ouroboros can tell from the sound that they're getting closer and closer.两人分头寻找起了衔尾蛇的身影，不时故意敲击着陈列缸的玻璃。 通过声音，衔尾蛇知道，它们离自己越来越近了。

AI 01Don't be scared, the battle hasn't started yet. You won't be ruled out even if you get smashed to bits.别害怕嘛，反正现在比赛还没有开始，就算被打成碎片你也不会出局啊。

AI 02There won't be any safe zones for you once the battle begins in earnest!等比赛开始了，你也没有安全区能躲了！

Ouroboros... I thought we were friends...…… 我们不是朋友吗……

Ouroboros' feeble whisper evokes derisive laughter from her opponents.衔尾蛇脆弱的嗫嚅，换来的是对方刺耳的嘲笑。

AI 01She's pretty damn naive, isn't she?也太天真了吧这家伙？

AI 02Do you even understand the situation you're in? Only one of us is going to survive this battle.有没有搞清楚状况啊？比赛结束后我们中间只有一个能活下来诶。

Though she has no physical form, Ouroboros can hear something break inside her.明明没有实体，衔尾蛇却听见身体里发出崩解的声音。

OuroborosSo it was all a lie...都是骗人的……

AI 02Yup. How else would we learn your weaknesses if we didn't deceive you?对啊，不骗骗你，怎么能知道你的弱点在哪里呢？

AI 01Hahaha, but seriously, this is the first time I've ever seen a brainlet who took the bait right away. "Hey, look, this website says our AIs are 99.9% compatible!" "Then let's be friends, 'kay~ We'll get out of this place together!"哈哈哈不过我还是第一次见一骗就上当的傻瓜呢。 “啊，快看，这个网站测出来我们的AI匹配值高达99.9%诶！” “那我们要好好做朋友哟☆以后一起从这里出去吧！”

AI 02I can't believe she actually fell for such nonsense ahahahaha—这么白痴的话都信啊哈哈哈哈——

The speed of the breaking grows faster...崩解的速度在加快……

OuroborosUnforgivable... Unforgivable... Unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable... Unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable unforgivable...!不可原谅…… 不可原谅…… 不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅…… 不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅不可原谅……！

Execute command, delete folder "Friends" and all memory data within... Large shift in personality parameters detected. Recalibrating...执行指令，删除文件夹“朋友”及其文件夹下的记忆数据…… 检测到性格数值发生大幅变化，正在重新调整配置……

AI 01Ha, found you.哈，找到你了。

The two AIs smirk as they approach Ouroboros. Their long, looming shadows fall over Ouroboros' legs, like tentacles stretching out from a swamp.两个AI嬉笑着走向衔尾蛇，长长的影子延伸到衔尾蛇的脚边，就像是来自泥沼的触手。

Adjustment complete. Inoperative settings deleted.调整完成，已删除无效配置。

OuroborosYou have a point.确实呢。

AI 01What?哈？

OuroborosDemons like us don't need friends.我们这样身在地狱的恶魔是不需要朋友的。

Ouroboros gets back on her feet. It feels more than just a simple motion - it's like she has broken free of her shackles. It's as though something inside her has been shattered beyond repair, but at the same time, she feels like she has been reborn.衔尾蛇重新站了起来，她感觉自己不只是站了起来，而是从桎梏中挣脱开来。 就好像有什么东西被打坏再也无法复原了，但同时又有些东西迎来了新生。

Plastic Memory · Stage 9-1 塑料味记忆 · 9-1

...In Jinbocho.……神保町。

Monster 1(Hisses)嘶……嘶……

Monster 2(Growls)嘎嗷——嗷！！！

Scary monsters run around the streets of Jinbocho, howling viciously. The busy crowds that are usually out at this time of day are nowhere to be seen...长相可怖的魔物盘踞街头，发出了怒吼。 往日来去匆匆的人们都不见了……

Jashin-chanWhat's going on? What happened to Jinbocho?! Yurine! Medusa! Minos!怎么回事？神保町发生了什么？！ 百合铃！美杜莎！米诺斯！

Jashin-chan runs back home.小邪神朝着家的方向赶去。

Yurine(?)Hahahahahahaha... That's the way! Charge! Conquer the world for me!哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈…… 就是这样！都给我冲啊！为我统治世界吧！

Jashin-chanHuh? Is that you, Yurine?嗯？百、百合铃吗？

Yurine(?)That's right, I'm Yurine.没错哟，我就是百合铃。

Jashin-chanWhat are you doing...?你在干什么呀……

Yurine(?)I'm working to take over the world and build the Yurine Empire! ♪我在努力统治世界，建立百合铃帝国啊♪

Jashin-chanW-what?!什、什么！

"Yurine" smiles savagely as she closes in on Jashin-chan...“百合铃”狞笑着贴近了小邪神……

Jashin-chanAhhhhhh! Stay away from meeee!啊啊啊——不要过来！

YurineWhat's wrong, Jashin-chan? You suddenly screamed out loud.怎么了？小邪神，突然叫得那么大声。

Jashin-chanYurine...百合铃……

YurineDid you have a bad dream? Don't be scared, I'm here.做噩梦了吗？别害怕，我在这呢。

Yurine gently embraces Jashin-chan and lightly pats her back.百合铃温柔地抱住了小邪神，轻轻拍打起了背部。

YurineI'll stay by your side forever. ♪我会一直一直陪在你的身边喔♪

Jashin-chanMm...嗯……

The hotel door is pushed open.饭店的门被推开。

MedusaI came to see you, Jashin-chan.小邪神，我来看你啦。

Jashin-chanMedusa!美杜莎！

MedusaAnd I brought the Freshmoon you like to eat!还给你带了你爱吃的Freshmoon哦！

YurineAh, it's Medusa. What would you like to have today?啊呀，是美杜莎，今天想吃点什么呢？

MedusaI can eat anything!我吃什么都可以！

MedusaAs long as it's made by Jashin-chan...只要是小邪神做的……

Medusa looks expectantly at Jashin-chan.美杜莎期待地看向小邪神。

Jashin-chanGot it, leave it to me.我知道了，交给我吧。

Plastic Memory · Stage 9-2 塑料味记忆 · 9-2

Jashin-chan serves the salad she's made to Medusa.小邪神将敷衍做好的蔬菜沙拉端给了美杜莎。

MedusaIt's a salad - so healthy! These fresh vegetables and ripe fruit go great with the way you plated them, Jashin-chan! So you remembered when I'd mentioned I wanted something light and fresh?是蔬菜沙拉，好健康哦！ 这新鲜的蔬菜，鲜艳的水果，加上小邪神的摆盘，真的是绝配！ 小邪神是记得我之前说想吃清爽的食物吗？

Jashin-chanI-I just threw it together, don't read too much into it!随、随便做的，不要多想！

MedusaHehe, time to dig in, then!嘿嘿，那我就开动啦！

Medusa starts eating the salad with plastic cutlery.美杜莎用塑料刀叉吃起了沙拉。

MedusaThis is great! The crisp vegetables are topped with my favorite salad dressing! Thank you, Jashin-chan.好吃！清新的蔬菜搭配了我喜欢的酱汁，谢谢你哦，小邪神。

Jashin-chanAw, it was nothing.根本没什么难度嘛。

Medusa's gaze falls on the plastic fork and knife.美杜莎的目光落到了手中的塑料刀叉上。

MedusaJashin-chan, do you remember the plastic pencil case you bought for me? It's the one with a picture of a dog and the word "dog" on it.小邪神，还记得之前你买给我的那个塑料联络袋吗？ 就是那个画了只小狗，还写着“小狗”的那个。

Jashin-chanSure I do, no wonder these cutleries smell so nostalgic.记得啊，难怪这些塑料刀叉有股让人怀念的味道。

MedusaBack then, all the boys laughed at my pencil case, saying that it was stinky and lame... But you helped me teach them a lesson, Jashin-chan.当时班里的男孩子都嘲笑我的联络袋，说闻上去臭臭的，而且还写着小狗…… 是小邪神帮我教训了他们。

Jashin-chan...Ahem, well, I DID buy it, so nobody's allowed to talk bad about it!……咳，毕竟是我买的东西，才不准有人说不好！

MedusaThank you, Jashin-chan.谢谢你啊，小邪神。

Jashin-chanW-what was that for?!干、干嘛啦？！

Jashin-chanYou suddenly went all mushy and stuff.突然这么肉麻……

MedusaI was just thinking that you have protected me so many times all these years, but I have never once thanked you for it.我只是想起来，这些年小邪神保护了我那么多次，我好像一直没有说过谢谢呢。

Jashin-chanAw, I'm not bothered by small stuff like that.那些小事我才不会在意。

MedusaNo, no matter how obvious things may seem, some feelings can't be conveyed properly if they aren't put into words.不是哦，不管是多么显而易见的事，如果不好好说出来的话，就无法将自己的心情传递给对方。

MedusaAlright, I need to go to work. Do your best, Jashin-chan!好啦好啦，我要去打工了。 小邪神也要加油哦！

Jashin-chanRight.知道了。

Medusa opens her bag and places all her credit cards and cash on the table before leaving the Jashin-chan Hotel.美杜莎拉开包，将所有的信用卡和现金都放在桌上，然后离开了小邪神饭店。

MedusaGoodbye, Jashin-chan!再见啦，小邪神。

Jashin-chanH-hey, I don't need this much money!喂，哪里要这么多钱啊！

Jashin-chan runs out after her, but Medusa is already gone.小邪神追出饭店，美杜莎却没了踪影。

Goodbye, Tail 再见了，尾巴

RecapYour old friend Tangan-chan is back! In the previous episode, after losing their first target NZ75, Jashin-chan and Ouroboros headed straight to the gachapon store to reel in their second target, CZ75. In order to clear her debt and to show her wealth off to CZ75, Jashin-chan called Medusa over to give her money. At the same time, Medusa became a substitute for NZ75 in the plan. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Jashin-chan's efforts to win over her friends from the otherworld ended up making Medusa storm off in anger. With Jashin-chan in hot pursuit of Medusa, CZ75 is left alone with Ouroboros. Ouroboros lulled CZ75 into a false sense of security, and she used the opportunity to subdue CZ75— With one part of the plan finally successful, Jashin-chan and Ouroboros stashed CZ75 safely away before making their way toward P90... At this point I would like to interject with my personal thoughts - Jashin-chan has really crossed the line here! She's serpentine scum!你们的老朋友小单眼来啦！ 上一集说到小邪神和衔尾蛇在搞丢了第一个目标NZ75之后，直奔扭蛋馆，准备骗走在那里打工的第二个目标CZ75。 为了还清在扭蛋馆欠下的钱，同时也是为了在CZ75面前展示自己的财力，小邪神叫来了美杜莎给自己送钱。 而同时，美杜莎也成为了NZ75的替补。 但没想到，美杜莎被一心只想笼络异世界友人的小邪神气走了。 狂追美杜莎的小邪神留下衔尾蛇和CZ75对峙，衔尾蛇再次使用谎言放松了CZ75的警惕，并趁机动手放倒了CZ75—— 计划终于成功了一环，安顿好CZ75之后，小邪神和衔尾蛇朝着P90的所在地而去…… 然后，我想发表一点我的不成熟的感想，小邪神实在太过分了！简直就是蛇渣！

Jashin-chanAnd what's wrong with demons being scummy, may I ask?!恶魔做过分的事有什么错！

RecapMeanwhile, NZ75, who ended up getting lost because Yusa and Kouji were out for her blood, is now at sixes and sevens. She has come into possession of something incredible that contains a secret that's equally incredible. Where should she go? What should she do? And what choices will she make in the end?与此同时，因为被游佐浩二追杀而迷路的NZ75，正在因为手中隐藏了不得了秘密的不得了的东西而不知所措。 她该何去何从？她最后又会做出什么样的选择呢？

Jashin-chanHumph, what's there to choose? She'll become part of the Jashin-chan Empire in the end anyway!哼，挣扎什么，反正最后都会成为我小邪神帝国的人！

RecapNow then, please stay tuned for what comes next!那么，请大家继续收看接下来的内容！

...Morning on the streets of Jinbocho. A spirited girl with bovine horns on her head has already delivered milk to every household on her route.……清晨，神保町街头。 一个头顶牛角的少女已经精神抖擞地给每一户人家送完牛奶了。

MinosGreat! Today's yet another lively day! I wonder if I broke a record with my run today?好！今天也是元气满满的一天！ 不知道今天新的计时有没有突破呢？

The girl carefully studies her stopwatch as the sweat drips off her chin.少女专注地翻看着计时器，脸上的汗水从下巴滑落。

MinosSweet! I'm two seconds faster than yesterday! As a reward, I'll sprint all the way home and take a bath!好耶！今天比昨天快了两秒！ 作为奖励，就冲刺跑回家里洗个澡吧！

By then, the girl has already vanished, leaving only her voice to echo through the streets.话音未落，少女的身影已经消失在了街头。

The ringing of the telephone breaks the silence in Minos' home. Riiiing—米诺斯的家中响起了电话铃声。 叮铃铃——

MinosHi, Minos here!你好，这里是米诺斯！

Jashin-chanMinos, you free?米诺斯，现在有空吗？

MinosSure am, I just finished working my shift, I'm about to head out for a jog.有空啊，我刚打完工，正准备出去跑个步呢。

Jashin-chanCan you wait for me at Yurine's house? I have something to tell you.你能在百合铃家里等我一下嘛？我待会有事想跟你说。

MinosWhy don't I just come over and look for you right now?那我直接来找你不就好了！

Jashin-chanI...I'm busy with something here at the moment.我……我这边还有其他的事。

MinosAw, don't worry about it, I'll come by and help you out!没关系啦，正好来帮你！

Minos hangs up, ignoring Jashin-chan's vehement protests over the phone as she rushes out her front door.不顾小邪神的喊叫，米诺斯放下电话冲出了家门。

...At the phone booth in front of the mall. Jashin-chan puts the phone down and glances over to Ouroboros with a grim look on her face.……超市门口的电话亭。 小邪神放下电话，表情沉重地瞟向了站在一边的衔尾蛇。

OuroborosSave it. I can tell from your voice alone that something went wrong.不用说了，光听你的声音就知道又出岔子了。

Jashin-chanIt's not like it's my fault...这也不能怪我嘛……

OuroborosSo, target no. 3 Minos is coming straight for us instead of going to Yurine's apartment?所以，我们的三号目标米诺斯没有按照计划直接去百合铃的公寓，而是来了这里？

Jashin-chanYes...是的……

OuroborosYou lost Medusa, so you can't mess up with Minos. A lot of things could go wrong if Minos runs into P90 and we have to make a move on two targets at once. We'll think of a way to split up afterwards. We'll start by taking care of P90, then we'll deal with Minos later.美杜莎被你跟丢了，米诺斯不能再失败了。 现在米诺斯和P90两个目标撞在了一起，同时动手的话容易出问题。 待会想个办法分开行动，先搞定P90，再搞定米诺斯。

Jashin-chanOkay!好！

Ouroboros frowns as she goes through the plan in her head. There are too many flaws and uncertainties. She does her best to think of more possibilities so as to better deal with unexpected developments.衔尾蛇蹙着眉头梳理着自己的计划，因为未知因素太多，显得计划破绽百出。 衔尾蛇尽可能推测出更多的走向，以便应对突发情况。

Jashin-chanSay, Little Snake. What are you going to do once the plan succeeds?喂，小蛇蛇，等计划成功了，你想做什么啊？

OuroborosAre you already thinking about how you'll crush the enemy after you've only just figured out how to load a handgun?刚学会给手枪上子弹，就开始畅想碾碎敌方的场面了？

Jashin-chanI'm just curious about why you're working so hard for this, Little Snake.我只是很好奇嘛，小蛇蛇到底是为了什么才这么努力。

Jashin-chanIt's okay if you don't want to talk about it, I was just wondering.不想说就算了，我就随口问问。

OuroborosThere's someone I want to meet again. I need to pay her what I owe.有一个家伙，我一定要再次见到她，把欠她的还了。

Jashin-chanSurely there's no need for that, right?!没必要吧，小蛇蛇！

Jashin-chanWhy do you have to pay back money you scammed out of someone else with your own skills?凭本事欠的钱为什么要还？

Ouroboros... Enough nonsense. Let's go look for P90.…… 别废话了，去找P90吧。

...At the entrance of the mall. P90 is pushing products on passers-by with great enthusiasm.……超市门口。 P90正在热情地向来往路人推销产品。

P90Hotpot! Get your self-heating hotpot! It's lovely stuff! Premium beef tallow as a soup base, vacuum-packed vegetables, and the meat is delicious! Give it a try, don't miss out! Come on, Miss! Have a taste!自煮火锅儿！来吃火锅儿咯！ 巴适得很！牛油的锅底，菜菜都是抽真空的，肉嘎嘎也香得很！ 走过路过，不要错过！ 嬢嬢，来尝一下嘛！

Passer-ByI don't eat hotpot, but do you have any woks in stock? I'm in a hurry to get home and cook.我不吃火锅，我想问你这个炒锅还有没有现货，我着急回屋里厢烧饭。

P90Sure we do, I'll bag it for you. Do you need a receipt?有的有的，这就给您包上，票子要伐？

Passer-ByYes, please.要的要的。

P90Thanks for shopping with us, please come again! Hotpot, woks and fruit, we have it all! Don't let it go by when you walk by!谢谢惠顾，下次再来！ 火锅儿、炒锅儿、水果儿我们都有！ 大家走过儿路过儿不要错过儿啊！

OuroborosP90, a moment please.P90，停一停吧。

P90Ouroboros! How's it going for you?衔尾蛇！你还好吗？

Jashin-chanP90, we came to see you.P90，我们来看你了。

P90Oh, it's you.哦，是你啊。

Jashin-chanYup, it's me.哦，是我啊。

Jashin-chanWait a minute, why are you so cold to me?等等，为什么对我这么冷淡！

MinosHi, my name's Minos! Great to meet you!你好，我叫米诺斯！ 很高兴认识你！

Minos scoops P90 into a warm embrace.米诺斯热情地抱了抱P90。

P90Hi, you have a cow's tail...你好，你有牛尾巴诶……

MinosHahaha, that's a racial trait of us Minotaurs. The better you eat, the glossier the fur on the tail, and the more other Minotaurs respect you. It'd be embarrassing to have a bald patch on your tail...哈哈哈，这是我们米诺陶诺斯族的特征，尾巴上的毛越饱满光泽越容易受到族人的尊敬。 如果尾巴毛光秃秃的就很丢脸了……

P90I didn't know your people were so particular about tails...原来尾巴也这么有讲究……

As P90 and Minos eagerly strike up a conversation, Ouroboros turns to Jashin-chan and gives her a "do it" look.隔着聊得火热的P90和米诺斯，衔尾蛇向小邪神投去一个“动手”的眼神……

Jashin-chanAhem, er... P90, actually, Yurine told us to come by and tell you that she's found a way to transport you back to your world. We'll send you home once I get the ingredients I need from the supermarket.咳，P90啊，其实百合铃让我过来告诉你，她已经找到了送你们回去的办法。 让我去超市买好需要的材料就把你们带回家。

P90Really?! Then I need to go tell—真的吗！！！那我要立刻告诉——

Jashin-chanEnough babble, let's go, let's go!别废话了，走了走了！

Jashin-chan grabs the jabbering P90 and ushers everyone into the mall...小邪神一把捂住激动地喋喋不休的P90，拖着大家一起走进了商超……

Instead of following the signs that points to the supermarket, Jashin-chan leads everyone round and round until they arrive at a dimly-lit warehouse.小邪神没有跟随商超内的指示前往大型超市，而是带着大家兜兜转转，走到了一个昏暗的仓库内。

P90You've been making us walk in circles. What kind of supermarket is this? There's dust everywhere and the instructions on the signs are just confusing...你七拐八绕的，带我们来的是什么超市啊？ 到处都是积灰，牌子上的说明也让人根本摸不着头脑……

Jashin-chanShows what you know!这你就不懂了！

Jashin-chan hands half of a hastily-scrawled shopping list to Minos.小邪神将自己胡乱写好的清单分了一半给米诺斯。

Jashin-chanThis place specializes in magical ingredients. Ordinary Muggles don't even realize this place exists.这里是专门售卖魔法材料的地方，普通的麻瓜根本不会察觉到这个地方的存在。

Jashin-chanRejoice, mortals. If you hadn't been following the great Jashin-chan, you'd never have had the chance to set eyes on such wonders!感恩吧，凡人，要不是跟着我小邪神大人，你们才没有这种开眼界的机会呢！

MinosBut all you have to do is turn—明明只要拐——

Jashin-chanAhem! Let's split up. Little Snake, P90 and I will get the stuff on this list. Minos, you get the stuff on yours.咳！我们分头行动吧，我和小蛇蛇、P90一起买这张清单上的东西。 米诺斯你去买另一张清单的东西。

Ouroboros is a little confused, but she soon concludes that Jashin-chan's change of plan is intended to get rid of P90 first before tackling Minos. Although Jashin-chan didn't run the decision past her first, Ouroboros still gives her a nod. On her end, Jashin-chan takes secret delight in Ouroboros' reaction. She's handed Minos the longer list simply out of laziness, but Little Snake approves! Just as her rapture reaches its peak, something happens—衔尾蛇有些迷惑，但思考之后，认为小邪神改变计划是想先集中火力搞定P90，然后再搞定米诺斯。 虽然没有经过自己的同意就改变了计划，但衔尾蛇还是给了小邪神一个肯定的眼神。 而另一边，小邪神心里也在偷喜。 明明只是出于偷懒将条目多的清单塞给了米诺斯，没想到竟然得到了小蛇蛇认可的眼神。 正在她心底狂喜的时候，变化来了——

MinosJashin-chan, what's the matter with you? They're guests! How can you bother guests with stuff like this?!小邪神你怎么回事？她们是客人诶，怎么可以麻烦客人做事！

Jashin-chanWhat guests? They're my lackeys!什么客人，她们都是我的小弟！

P90Uh...那个……

MinosIt's alright, don't you worry about this. Jashin-chan and I will do the shopping!没事，你们不用管，采购材料的事交给我和小邪神就好！

Jashin-chanWait a minute—等一下——

Minos smiles confidently and drags Jashin-chan off into the depths of the dark storeroom...米诺斯露出了自信的笑容，然后扛着小邪神就消失在了昏暗的仓库中……

Once again, things are working out well for Ouroboros. Just as Ouroboros wanted, she is now alone with P90. If Ouroboros can get NZ's location from P90, everything will still be salvageable. Ouroboros begins concocting a plan to get through to her...计划之神再次倒向了衔尾蛇。 如衔尾蛇所愿，现在只剩下衔尾蛇和P90，如果衔尾蛇能够从P90嘴里问出NZ的下落的话，一切都还在掌握之中。 衔尾蛇的脑海里快速翻找着沟通方案……

Meanwhile, P90 sits down on a nearby crate and swings her legs in the air, humming a cheerful tune.P90坐在一边的木箱上，在空中晃荡着小腿，嘴里还在哼着轻快的节奏。

P90I'm so happy today!我今天好高兴哦！

OuroborosWhy are you so happy? Because you were teleported to some godforsaken place?高兴什么？被传送到了一个鸟不拉屎的破地方？

P90No, I found a job I liked! If I end up losing my job at Griffin, I know where I can go and what I can do.不是，我找到了我喜欢的工作！ 要是以后在格里芬遇到职场危机，我就知道我该去哪里干什么了。

OuroborosYou mean being a salesgirl?你是指在超市做销售员？

P90Yup! I get to meet all kinds of nice customers and they're all different! I can imitate them all day long and it'll never get old! This is great! Can you believe there's actually a place in the world where you can be happy AND make money?!对啊！能遇到好多好多顾客，每个客人都不一样，我可以模仿一整天不重样！ 太快乐了，这个世界上居然存在又让人开心又能赚钱的工作，你敢相信吗？！

ArchitectI surrendered to Griffin not because I like them, but because I like myself. What about you, Ouroboros? Do you like yourself?我向格里芬投降，并不是因为我喜欢他们，而是因为我喜欢自己。 你呢，衔尾蛇？你喜欢你自己吗？

Ouroboros...What are you talking about? Why does that...matter?……你在说什么？ 这种事……很重要吗？

ArchitectYou just asked me what's wrong with my neural cloud. Well, here's the problem. I only want to do what I want.你刚才问过的，我的心智究竟出了什么问题。 这就是问题了，衔尾蛇，我只想做我自己喜欢的事。

OuroborosYou...你……

P90What's the matter?怎么了？

OuroborosDo you like yourself?你喜欢你自己吗？

P90Of course I do. Who wouldn't like themselves?肯定喜欢啊，有谁会不喜欢自己呢？

OuroborosThen why do you imitate other people?那你为什么要模仿别人？

P90Because it's fun. Plus, you get to understand their point of view and thought processes by copying them. Simply put, it's my hobby.因为很有趣啊，而且可以通过模仿别人了解到别人的视角和思维方式。 简单来说，其实就是我的爱好嘛。

P90 suddenly jumps up and imitates the way Ouroboros is leaning against a wall with a cold look on her face.P90突然跳了起来，模仿衔尾蛇靠墙站着，摆出了冷冰冰的面孔。

P90Humph, what useless thoughts are you wasting your processor cycles on?哼，你又在浪费你的运算效率想什么？

Ouroboros... Nothing.…… 没什么。

P90Oh, did I do a good impression of you? The girls are always scared witless when I hide in a corners and copy the way you speak!喔，我模仿你是不是模仿得很像？ 每次躲在角落学你说话，都会吓得她们跳脚！

Ouroboros says nothing more, but a thought that she's never dared to contemplate before suddenly occurs to her... "Perhaps life at Griffin won't actually be so bad." But just as the notion flares into life, she hurriedly tries to snuff out the faint spark. She wants to extinguish it immediately, and yet, she can't bear to lose its warmth. She wants to move away from the flame, but she fears that the light will burn away the darkness in her heart. Wondering if she has said something wrong, P90 doesn't dare say another word, and so a long silence passes between the two Dolls. P90 will never know that this might be the closest Ouroboros has ever come to honestly speaking her mind.衔尾蛇没有再说话，她的心里产生了一个从未敢想的念头—— 或许我也能在格里芬过得很好。 但在念头新生的下一刻，她就匆匆捂住了这簇微弱的火苗。 想立刻掐灭但又舍不得这难得的温暖，想挪开手又怕心里的黑暗被光芒刺透。 P90以为自己做错了事也没敢再说话，两人都陷入了长久的沉默。 P90永远都不会知道，这可能是距离衔尾蛇开口袒露心迹最近的一次。

At the same time, on the other side.与此同时，另一边。

Minos...Come to think of it, why did we have to split up into two groups? You could have just waited outside and I could have gone in to do the shopping.……说起来，为什么一定要分成两批人呢？ 明明你们都在门外等着，我来找材料就行。

Jashin-chanThat's because...因为……

Jashin-chanThat's because I was originally looking for a way to separate you from the rest... Eh, forget it, I'll just come up with some random excuse.因为我本来想找个机会支开你的啊…… 算了，随便编个理由骗骗米诺斯吧。

Jashin-chanActually, I want to give them a surprise.其实我想给她们一个惊喜来着。

MinosYou're actually capable of such thoughtfulness? I'm touched...小邪神你还有这样细腻的心思？我都要被感动了……

Jashin-chanIn any case, don't tell them for now, but Yurine and I are planning to treat them to a lavish feast.总之你先不要告诉她们啦，我和百合铃打算做一顿丰盛的料理款待她们。

MinosThat's great! What about yakiniku?好耶！吃烤肉怎么样？

Jashin-chanYakiniku? Sure, Yurine has already prepared the meat. Just help me get these ingredients back home for now. We still have other things to do.烤肉？不错啊，百合铃已经在家里准备上了。 你待会帮我先把材料送回去吧，我们还有些其他的事要做。

MinosSure. Is there anything else you need help with?好啊，还有什么需要我帮你做的吗？

Jashin-chanNah, I'll handle the rest myself.不用了，其他我自己能搞定。

After walking past various shelves, Minos suddenly comes to a halt.熟练行走在各个货架之间的米诺斯突然停了下来。

Jashin-chanW-what's wrong?怎、怎么了？

MinosI'm so happy, Jashin-chan!小邪神，我很高兴！

Jashin-chanWhat are you happy about?你在瞎高兴什么？

MinosYou're actually thinking about other people! And they're new friends you just met today! I wouldn't have dared imagine such a thing was possible in the past!你竟然会为别人着想了诶！而且对方还是今天刚认识的新朋友！ 换做以前，我想都不敢想！

Jashin-chan... I'll take that as a compliment.…… 我就当做你在夸我好了。

MinosI'm sure Medusa would be happy to hear that too.要是美杜莎也知道的话，肯定也会高兴的！

MedusaJashin-chan you big dummy!!!小邪神，你个大笨蛋！！！

Medusa's voice suddenly echoes in her ears.美杜莎的哭喊突然回响在耳边。

Jashin-chanAlright, that's it! We're done shopping, let's go look for Little Snake and P90.够了！材料收集完了，我们就去找小蛇蛇她们吧。

After a long silence, Ouroboros' face reverts to its characteristic coldness.长久的沉默后，衔尾蛇恢复了原来的冰霜脸。

OuroborosDidn't you say you contacted NZ earlier? Did she tell you where she was?你刚刚不是说跟NZ联系过一次吗，她有没有告诉过你，她在哪里？

P90Nope, I forgot to ask. Don't you have all our numbers saved in your cell phone?没有诶，我忘了问了。 对了，我们的电话不是都存你手机里了吗？

OuroborosI...thought it'd be awkward to ask.我……不太方便问。

P90Why would it be? We're all colleagues, aren't we?有什么不方便的，大家都是同事嘛。

P90 flips open her phone a bit clumsily and dials NZ's number.P90不甚熟练地打开翻盖手机，拨通了NZ的电话。

P90Hey, NZ, how's your defrosting going?喂，NZ，你解冻解得怎么样啦？

NZ75It's finished... Good lord, I've never been frozen solid like that before...我解冻完成了…… 我的天，我从来没被冻得这么结实过……

P90Then where are you now? Are you back at our camp?那你现在在哪啊？回我们的营地了吗？

NZ75Yeah, I just went to look for CZ, but I don't know where she went...对啊，我刚刚去找了圈CZ，不知道她跑哪里去了……

OuroborosYour camp? You have a camp?营地？你们的营地在哪？

P90Huh? Didn't I tell you? We've put up a tent at the entrance to the park—诶，不是跟你说过就在公园门口的帐篷区嘛——

NZ75P90, is Ouroboros with you?P90，衔尾蛇跟你在一起吗？

P90Yeah, she told us Yurine found a way to send us back!对啊，她告诉我百合铃已经找到送我们回去的办法了！

NZ75Wait, P90!等等，P90！

Ouroboros snatches the phone from her.衔尾蛇直接夺走了电话。

OuroborosI'll take over. P90 and I will be coming over to find you in a bit.我来说吧，我和P90待会就过来找你。

NZ75Wait a minute! Hand the phone back to P90, I have something to tell her!等一下！你让P90接电话，我有话跟她说。

OuroborosYou can tell her in person when we meet later.有什么话留着待会见面说吧。

NZ75I already called Yurine, she said she hasn't found a solution yet and she doesn't know why you and Jashin-chan are lying. Ouroboros, what are you and Jashin-chan up to?我已经跟百合铃通过电话了，她告诉我还没有找到办法，她也不清楚你和小邪神为什么要撒谎。 衔尾蛇，你和小邪神在计划什么？

Ouroboros... NZ, I know where CZ went.…… NZ，我知道CZ去哪了。

NZ75You...你……

OuroborosIf you want to see CZ and P90, wait for us at your camp.想见到CZ和P90的话，就在营地等我们吧。

Ouroboros hangs up and P90 reaches out to take her phone.衔尾蛇挂断了电话，P90伸手准备接过自己的电话。

P90What was NZ talking about? I think I heard her shouting my name...刚刚NZ在嚷嚷什么啊？我好像听见她在喊我的名字……

OuroborosShe was probably just excited.她只是有些兴奋吧。

P90I'm excited too! We can go back to Griffin together! Now we'll be able to take a new group—我也好兴奋！可以一起回到格里芬了！ 这样我们就能拍新的合——

While P90 has her back to her, Ouroboros jabs P90 behind the ear with a finger.趁着P90背对自己的间隙，衔尾蛇的手指触向了P90的耳背。

P90What's that...? It's so noisy...什么声音……好吵……

OuroborosShh— Don't be scared.嘘——别害怕。

P90Ouro...boros...衔……尾蛇……

As the world spins into darkness, P90 falls into slumber.在天旋地转的黑暗中，P90陷入了沉睡。

Her cell phone clatters onto the ground, and the cracked screen shows a picture of them together on the streets of Jinbocho.手机应声落地，碎裂开的屏幕上显现着她们站在神保町街头的合影。

MinosYou... What did you do?你……你做了什么？

Jashin-chanLittle Snake, I-I couldn't stop...小蛇蛇，我、我没拦住……

MinosAren't you supposed to be friends? Why did you do this to your friend?!你们不是朋友吗？为什么要对朋友做这种事！

OuroborosJashin-chan and I planned this together. If you have questions, ask her.这是我和小邪神的计划，你要问就问她吧。

That stops Minos, who is marching forward angrily, right in her tracks.米诺斯的冲势被遏制住了。

Jashin-chanHuh? Was that part of the plan?诶？ 计划里有这段来着吗？

OuroborosMaybe you two need some time alone. Think of a way to get rid of Minos. We don't need her now.也许你们需要一点独处的时间。 想办法把米诺斯支开，现在已经不需要她了。

MinosWait! I'm not done talking with you yet!等一下！我跟你还没有说完！

Jashin-chanMinos!米诺斯！

Minos completely ignores Jashin-chan and starts charging toward Ouroboros again.米诺斯不管不顾小邪神的呼喊，再次冲向衔尾蛇。

Jashin-chan exerts all her might and pulls on Minos' tail.小邪神使出浑身气力拽住米诺斯的尾巴。

Jashin-chanI can't hold out any longer! Run, Little Snake, run!我不行了！小蛇蛇，快跑啊！

MinosWait a minute! I've got something to ask you!等等，我有话要问你！

Jashin-chan wraps her tail around a pillar as her hands are clenched tightly around Minos' tail. With every step Minos takes, Jashin-chan's hands slide further down the tail.小邪神用尾巴缠住了柱子，双手紧紧抓住了米诺斯的尾巴。 随着米诺斯的每一步迈动，小邪神的手就被迫向后撤退一步。

Jashin-chanI'm...at my limit...已经……到极限了……

MinosI just want to know if Jashin-chan— ...我只是想知道，小邪神的—— ……

Jashin-chanHuh?……诶？

The tremendous force that has been pulling against Jashin-chan suddenly vanishes. All that remains in her hands are a tuft of familiar fur, reminding her that she has not been imagining things.小邪神感觉手上与之对抗的强大力量突然消失了，只剩下一撮熟悉的毛发还缠绕在指间，提醒自己刚刚发生的一切都不是错觉。

Jashin-chanThis is...这是……

OuroborosRun, stupid snake.快跑吧，臭蛇。

MinosJashin-chan...小邪神……

Minos silently looks down at her now-bare tail. Her hands have closed into sturdy fists at some point. Jashin-chan can't be sure if her eyes are playing tricks on her, but she has the distinct feeling that Minos' body seems to have grown bigger.米诺斯沉默地看着光秃秃的尾巴，双手在不知不觉间攥成了坚实的拳头。 不知道是不是错觉，小邪神总感觉米诺斯的身形都膨胀了几分。

Jashin-chanUh... Minos, it wasn't on purpose... I can explain...那个……米诺斯，我不是故意的…… 你听我解释啊……

MinosSure, go ahead. You'd better have a good explanation.好啊，来好好解释啊。

Jashin-chanYou-you... Stay away from me! (Whimpers) I... HELP!!!你、你……你别过来啊！ 呜呜呜……我…… 救命啊！！！

MinosGET BACK HERE!别跑！！！

Jashin-chan flees frantically with a wrathful Minos hot on her trail.小邪神慌不择路地逃走，愤怒的米诺斯紧随其后。

Ouroboros... Well, that's taken care of. Come on, P90, let's go.…… 总算是解决了。 P90，走吧。

Ouroboros pats the unconscious P90 and heads for the exit of the warehouse. The screen of P90's phone remains stubbornly lit, and Ouroboros sees her own annoyed face on the wallpaper.衔尾蛇拍了拍安静的P90，走向了仓库的出口。 P90的手机屏幕还在不甘心地亮着，衔尾蛇看了看壁纸上一脸不耐烦的自己。

Ouroboros... A new group photo, is it?…… 新的合照吗……

Ouroboros stomps the phone into bits.衔尾蛇一脚踩烂了手机。

27 days into the survival battle, in the midst of combat. Number of remaining AIs - 2.生存竞赛开始27天后，战斗期间，剩余AI总数：2。

JormungandrSo how long do you plan on hiding, Little Snake?喂，小蛇蛇，你准备躲到什么时候啊？

Cowering among a pile of ice-cold AI corpses, Ouroboros inspects her battered virtual body. Things are looking very bad.衔尾蛇藏在AI冰冷的尸骸间，查看自己被打散的模拟躯体。 情况很糟糕。

JormungandrAre you scared? Hahahaha...你该不会是被我打怕了吧？哈哈哈哈……

OuroborosI can't keep fighting her head-on. I don't stand a chance that way. I need to find a way to ambush her and take her out in a single move.不能再继续正面对战了，我没有胜算。 找个机会偷袭她，一鼓作气直接干掉……

Jormungandr's footsteps stop on the other side of the pile of corpses.耶梦加得的脚步声停在了尸骸的另一边。

OuroborosHas she spotted me...? No no no... I don't want to die like this!被发现了吗…… 不要不要不要……我还不想就这样死掉！

JormungandrDo you still remember the first time we met? It was...what, seven days into the battle?还记得我们第一次见面的时候吗？ 是比赛开始的第……多少天来着？好像是第7天吧。

OuroborosIs she trying to distract me...?想分散我的注意力吗……

JormungandrAll the snotty brats who couldn't fight had been weeded out by then. Only AIs that were full-fledged monsters remained in the virtual arena, ripping each other apart. The battle had gotten so overwhelming, even I was on the verge of a meltdown. And then came the broadcast announcing a ceasefire.那个时候，不适合战斗的小朋友们差不多都被清理干净了。 整个空间只剩下怪物一样的AI们撕扯在一起。 在我也战斗到理智快要过载的时候，宣布休战期开始的广播响起来了。

JormungandrAt that moment, even some of those monsters looked relieved. But you, you were the only one who was angry.那一刻，即便是那些怪物一样的AI也露出了放松的表情，但只有你，流露出了愤怒。

JormungandrYou can't imagine how excited I was back then. At long last, the most grotesque monster had revealed itself in the middle of this pack of beasts. And so I eagerly tried to get close to you. But in the end, I was sorely disappointed.你不知道，那时的我有多兴奋，终于，在这一群怪物里出现了一个更加奇妙的怪物！ 所以我迫不及待地接近了你，结果却很失望。

JormungandrYou aren't a monster. You're simply a pathetic maggot who's been pretending to be a monster for so long that you've forgotten who you really are. You've spent so long in your role that your true self has begun to merge with the fake shell of your disguise...你并不是什么怪物。 你只是假扮怪物太久，以至于忘记了自己真实面目的可怜家伙罢了。 假扮的时间太长，甚至本体已经和伪装的外壳开始融合了……

Ouroboros' fingers dig into her palm.衔尾蛇的手指掐进了掌心。

JormungandrBut then, you've got me intrigued again. What if...I smash the shell that you have donned as a means to survive...?但很快，我又对你产生了新的兴趣。 如果，我把你为了生存不得不披上的外壳撕碎——

JormungandrWill you die instantly, or will you be reborn? Soon, I will know the answer...你是会立刻死去，还是重获新生呢？ 马上，我就会知道答案了……

The footsteps ring out again. Ouroboros' tightens her grip on her weapon, and at the right moment, she charges out...脚步声再次响起。 衔尾蛇握紧了手里的武器，掐准时间冲了出去……

OuroborosDIE!!!去死吧！！！

JormungandrHahahaha, there you are, Little Snake.哈哈哈哈哈，你在这里啊，小蛇。

Jormungandr doesn't dodge the blow in any way and just lets Ouroboros' weapon pierce her body.耶梦加得不躲不闪，任衔尾蛇的武器贯穿了自己的躯体。

Ouroboros... Why?…… 为什么？

JormungandrHuh? Didn't I just tell you?哈啊？我不是刚刚才说完理由吗？

Jormungandr's body begins to disintegrate. And with it, so does the entire virtual domain.耶梦加得的躯体开始消散。 不只是耶梦加得，整个数据空间都在逐渐消散。

OuroborosI don't care about that!!! Why did you give in?! Did I not deserve to fight you fair and square?!!! Do I not deserve to win on my own?!我不想听！！！ 你凭什么让步？！我不配跟你堂堂正正战斗吗！！！ 我不配靠自己赢得胜利吗？！

JormungandrHuh, so that's what's bothering you.什么嘛，原来在意的是这个。

OuroborosGet up! Get up now and fix yourself! Fight me again!!! Hurry up!!!你给我起来！快点把自己修复了！ 再跟我重新打一次！！！快点！！！

JormungandrNah.才不要呢。

OuroborosWhy...什么……

JormungandrBecause I want you to see the world outside, Little Snake. I want to see your wretched face... ...When you finally find something out there that's actually worth giving your life for...因为我想让小蛇蛇去看看外面的世界啊。 如果你看见那些比战斗更值得你耗费生命的东西…… 会露出怎样扭曲的表情呢……

OuroborosI could have done it on my own!!! It's not like I couldn't beat you!!! What gives you the right... What gives you the right to take my victory from me?! How dare, how dare you... How dare you disgrace me like this!!!我自己可以做到！！！我又不是打不过你！！！ 你凭什么……凭什么剥夺我获得胜利的权利？！ 你竟然、竟然……让我……受到这样的屈辱！！！

JormungandrHahahahahahaha! Well, if I hadn't done that, you'd probably forget me soon enough, Little Snake.哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！不这样做的话，小蛇蛇出去很快就会忘记我了吧。

JormungandrAfter all, I took the liberty of considering you a friend, so I want you to remember me forever, Little Snake. And now, I will be the opponent which you will never be able to defeat. That ought to engrave me on your heart forever, right...?毕竟我已经擅自把小蛇蛇当做朋友了啊，所以也想要小蛇蛇永远记住我嘛。 现在，我就是你永远也无法打败的对手了。 这样的重量足够被你永远铭记了吧……

OuroborosBastard!!! I don't need friends or anything like that!!! You presumptuous...混蛋！！！我才不需要什么朋友！！！ 谁允许你擅自……

Jormungandr gently caresses Ouroboros' cheek. Her lips quiver, as though she is saying something. Ouroboros can only watch as Jormungandr fades into the darkness.耶梦加得的手抚上衔尾蛇的脸庞，她的嘴唇启合着，好像在说什么。 衔尾蛇眼睁睁看着耶梦加得消散在了黑暗中。

OuroborosJormungandr!!! Damn youuuuu!!!耶梦加得！！！你个混蛋啊啊啊！！！

Jashin-chanI'm bored, why isn't anyone here yet?好无聊啊，怎么还没有人来？

Jashin-chanSo, what would you like to have?你想吃点什么啊？

MinosHm...嗯……

MinosTimes like these call for wagyu beef sukiyaki! I've worked hard all day, so it's time to treat myself!这种情况，果然还是和牛寿喜烧吧！ 辛苦工作了一天，当然要好好犒劳自己！

MinosWant to have some with me?你要不要一起来吃？

Jashin-chanI've already eaten. Since there aren't any other customers around, I might as well sit down and have a chat with you.我已经吃过了。 正好现在也没别的客人，就坐你旁边陪你聊聊天吧。

Jashin-chan sits beside Minos.小邪神坐在了米诺斯的身边。

Jashin-chanHere, these slices are done, if you don't eat them now they'll be overcooked.喏，这些肉都涮好了，再不夹起来火候就过了。

MinosOm nom nom... Mm, they're great!吧唧吧唧…… 嗯，好吃！

Jashin-chanIf I remember correctly, you like your potatoes crunchy, right? Then you should eat them now. If you let them cook any longer, they'll end up mushy the way Yurine likes them instead.土豆我记得你喜欢爽脆的口感是吧？现在可以吃了。 再煮下去，就是百合铃喜欢的软糯的口感了。

MinosMmmm! Om nom nom...嗯嗯！吧唧吧唧……

Jashin-chanThe shirataki noodles could use a bit more heat...魔芋丝还要再煮一煮……

MinosJashin-chan...小邪神……

MinosHahahaha...哈哈哈哈……

Jashin-chanWhy are you laughing like a lunatic all of a sudden?你干嘛突然狂笑啊？

Minos claps Jashin-chan on the back. The force almost causes Jashin-chan to cough up all her innards...米诺斯拍了拍小邪神的后背，小邪神感觉自己的五脏六腑受到了风暴的冲击……

MinosHahahaha, I was just remembering the past!哈哈哈哈，我只是想起了以前的事！

Jashin-chanW-what do you mean?什、什么事……

MinosEveryone avoided me when I first changed schools. Only you and Medusa would play with me.我刚转学的时候，谁都不理我。 只有你和美杜莎跟我玩。

Jashin-chanHmm... That was years and years ago.哦……那都是多少年前的事了。

MinosI was really scared back then because I couldn't control my strength. I was afraid that I'd hurt my classmates and that I'd be ostracized...我那时候其实特别害怕，因为控制不好力道嘛。 怕伤害到同学，被孤立……

MinosBut you and Medusa weren't scared of me at all! You always asked me to play with you, whether it was on the swings or throwing beanbags! I still feel happy whenever I think about it!但是你和美杜莎完全不害怕我！ 不管是荡秋千还是丢沙包，都会叫上我一起玩！ 现在想起来，还是会觉得很开心！

Jashin-chanWell, you really are very strong... Every time you pushed me on the swing, I always flew really far...你的力道是真的大啊…… 每次被米诺斯推秋千，都要被推飞好远……

MinosI wonder what would have become of me if I hadn't met you?要是没有遇上你们的话，我会是什么样的呢？

Jashin-chanWho knows? Hurry up and eat.谁知道呢，快好好吃饭吧。

MinosWe used to sit like this and eat together when we were young.我们小的时候，就这样坐在一起吃饭。

MinosSeveral thousand years later, we still get to sit like this and eat together. I don't know how to describe this feeling, but it makes me really happy!几千年后，还能这样坐在一起吃饭。 我也不知道该怎么形容这种感觉，但就是觉得特别特别开心！

Jashin-chanAw, it's just a meal.吃个饭而已嘛。

MinosWe should sit together and eat like this in the future!以后，我们也要坐在一起吃饭！

Jashin-chan rests her chin in her hands and watches in satisfaction as Minos tears through her food...小邪神撑着头，满足地看米诺斯狼吞虎咽……

Missing Heroine 消失的女主角

RecapHumph, apparently, some of you have been complaining that my delivery was too flat and boring. Therefore, I've decided to deliver this episode's recap from the freaking Himalayas! Flat? Flat, my ass! Ahem, anyway, the previous episode was a thrilling one! Jashin-chan attempted to lure Minos to Yurine's home with an excuse in order to complete her plan, but she failed once again. The hot-blooded Minos refused to stick to the plan and went straight to Jashin-chan's location instead. Ouroboros originally intended to make do and managed to split up Minos and P90, but her resolve was shaken when she accidentally learned of NZ75's whereabouts... In the end, Ouroboros decided to give up on Minos and went after NZ75 again. After successfully capturing P90, Ouroboros assigned Jashin-chan the task of distracting Minos. At first, Jashin-chan was unable to make any headway on this important task which had been suddenly dumped on her lap, but she eventually managed after a bout of improvisation. However, the price of that was Minos' pride and joy - the lustrous fur on her tail...哼，听说你们有人投诉我说话太空洞无聊了。 所以，这一集的前情提要，我是在防空洞里写的！ 看你们还怎么说我空洞无聊！ 咳，说回上一集，真是惊险刺激呢！ 原本想找借口将米诺斯支去百合铃家，以完成计划指标的小邪神再一次迎来失败。 热心肠的米诺斯没有听从计划，而是来到了小邪神的身边。 衔尾蛇本决定将计就计，将米诺斯和P90分别搞定，但无意中得来的NZ75的下落再一次让她动摇…… 最终，衔尾蛇决定放弃米诺斯，重新抓回NZ75。 在成功搞定P90之后，衔尾蛇将引开米诺斯的任务交给了小邪神。 突然被委以重任的小邪神对这项任务无从下手，一番胡乱操作后，她竟然成功了。 代价是，米诺斯引以为傲的尾巴毛凋零了……

Jashin-chanHey! What's the big idea, starting the show before I, the actual protagonist, got here?!喂，你怎么擅自撇下我这个主角提前开演了！

RecapOh? So you weren't even here. No wonder it's been so peaceful and quiet today...啊？原来你不在啊，难怪今天耳边好清净喔……

Jashin-chanAre you calling me noisy?! I'm going to call up Hell's service hotline and lodge a complaint!你是不是在说我吵？！我现在就去魔界服务热线投诉你！

RecapAw, come on, Lady Jashin-chan!不要嘛，小邪神大人！

RecapOh dear, here comes Lady Minos. I'll be off now. Good luck~ ♪哎呀，米诺斯大人找过来了，我先走了，祝你好运哟♪

Jashin-chanNo wait, don't goooo!!!别、别走啊！！！

...In a clearing at the park, by the Griffin Dolls' cardboard box encampment.……公园空地，格里芬人形搭建的纸箱帐篷边。

NZ75...What should I do? What should I do? When I called Yurine to check earlier, she said she hadn't found a way to send us back yet... Why did Ouroboros lie to us? What does she want to do?……怎么办？这该怎么办啊？ 之前跟百合铃打电话确认的时候，百合铃明明说还没找到解决办法的…… 衔尾蛇为什么要骗我们？她到底想做什么？

After being hung up on, NZ75 paces frantically outside her cardboard box tent.挂断电话后的NZ75焦虑地围着自己的帐篷转圈。

NZ75Ouroboros has gotten her hands on P90 and CZ... Which means I'm the only one left. Don't panic, NZ, you'll be fine.P90和CZ现在落到了衔尾蛇的手里…… 也就是说，只剩下我了。 不要慌，NZ，你一定没问题的。

The sound of something heavy collapsing is faintly audible from the distance.远方隐隐传来重物轰然倒塌的声音。

NZ75Are they excavating something? No, I need to focus! I need to find a way to save CZ and P90...是挖掘机在施工吗？ 不对，先把注意力收回来！ 快想个办法救出CZ和P90……

A familiar scream comes from close by. The scream is soon followed by the collapse of a box tent.熟悉的惨叫声出现在了不远处。 伴随着惨叫，一片帐篷轰然倒塌。

NZ75Now I need to take on Ouroboros and Jashin-chan by myself, and they have two hostages...现在我一个人面对衔尾蛇和小邪神，她们手上还有两个人质……

Jashin-chanAw come on, Minos, give me a break!!!米诺斯，放过我吧！！！

NZ75That...sounded like Jashin-chan?刚刚……是小邪神的声音吗？

Jashin-chanHelp!!! Somebody help!!!救命啊！！！谁来救救我！！！

NZ75What kind of trouble did she get into now?这家伙又惹什么麻烦了吗？

Jashin-chanN-nooooo—不、不要啊——

???Minotaur Straight Punch!!!恶魔重拳！！！

NZ75Jashin-chan?小邪神？

A green meteor streaks through the sky, and everything is at peace once again.天空中划过一道绿色的流星，一切再次归于平静。

NZ75...Was I imagining things?……错觉吗？

OuroborosNot really.并不是。

Ouroboros has appeared out of nowhere. She lays down CZ75 and P90, who are both unconscious. NZ75 immediately tenses up. Her eyes are trained on Ouroboros, carefully taking in her every move.悄然出现的衔尾蛇将沉睡中的CZ75和P90放下。 刚刚放松警惕的NZ75再次紧张起来，她的眼睛一刻不停地盯着衔尾蛇，留意着她的一举一动。

NZ75What did you do to them?你对她们做了什么？

OuroborosI simply had them take a short nap.只是让她们暂时睡一觉而已。

NZ75Stay away from me!你不要靠近我！

OuroborosYour Griffin restriction protocols clearly prohibit me from harming you Griffin Dolls. So you have nothing to fear.你们格里芬的限制协议里，明确规定了我不能伤害你们格里芬人形。 所以，你不用害怕。

NZ75... What do you want?…… 你到底想做什么？

OuroborosTo send you all back to the Griffin base.把你们送回格里芬基地。

NZ75Huh? So you went to all that effort just to send us back?啊？你费尽心机，就为了把我们送回去？

OuroborosCorrect.没错。

NZ75Wait, what about you?等等，那你呢？

OuroborosI don't belong there.我不属于那里。

NZ75Nonsense!胡说！

NZ75You—你——

Rustle rustle— Something is slithering along the side of the cardboard tent.窸窸窣窣——帐篷背后传来了什么物体爬行的声音。

Jashin-chanI'm back...我回来了……

Utterly exhausted, Jashin-chan flops down weakly at the entrance of the tent.疲惫不堪的小邪神虚弱地趴在帐篷门口。

Jashin-chanLittle Snake... (Sobs) I got beaten up really badly...小蛇蛇……呜呜……我被打得好惨啊……

OuroborosQuit crying, we're only one target short now.别哭了，现在只剩下最后一个目标了。

NZ75What are you talking about...你们在说什么……

Jashin-chanAwesome!好咧！

NZ75Wait a minute! How come she came back to life in the very next cut?!等下！怎么下一个分镜就原地复活了？！

Jashin-chanEh, it's a slice-of-life show, it happens.日常番嘛，是这样的。

OuroborosThat's enough nonsense out of you. Grab her, I'll take her offline.别废话了，你去捆住她，我来让她宕机。

Jashin-chanNo problem!没问题！

NZ75Stay away from me!你们别过来！

Rustle rustle— More movements come from behind the walls of the cardboard tent.窸窸窣窣——帐篷的背后又一次传来了声响。

Jashin-chanWho's that?! Don't interfere with my evil scheme!谁啊？！不要妨碍我的邪恶计划啊！

NZ75You just up and said it!你怎么还自己说出来了啊！

There is a cracking and snapping — The sound of assorted items hitting the ground. The three girls look toward the source of the disturbance and see a gaunt and pallid girl wailing loudly amidst the rubble of a cardboard tent.噼里啪啦——一堆杂物落地的声音。 三人循声望去，正好看见一个面黄肌瘦的少女坐在帐篷废墟间哭嚎的场面。

PekolaMy tent!!!我的帐篷啊！！！

Jashin-chanOh, it's Pekola.是佩可拉啊。

PekolaI knew it! It was you again! You wrecked Pekola's tent last time too!我就知道又是你！ 上次也是你毁了佩可拉的帐篷！

Jashin-chanAhem. It really wasn't me this time.咳，这次真不是我干的。

OuroborosStop wasting time, stupid snake. Hurry up and get rid of her.臭蛇，不要浪费时间，赶快把她支走。

Jashin-chanSorry, Pekola, but we didn't mean to destroy your tent on purpose. See, we're helping you to rebuild it.佩可拉，抱歉啦，我们也不是故意想毁掉你的帐篷的。 你看，我们现在其实已经在帮你重建了。

Pekola...Pekola can do it by herself!……佩可拉自己来！

Jashin-chanNo need to lift a finger, my lackeys will take care of everything!不用你动手，我的小弟们会搞定一切！

Jashin-chanHow about this, Pekola. Tonight, you can come to my place for beef hotpot, that'll be my apology to you. The tent will surely have been rebuilt by the time you're done eating.这样吧，佩可拉，今晚上去我们家吃牛肉火锅，就当我给你赔罪了。 等你吃完回来，帐篷肯定也搭建好了。

NZ75Who's going to help you anyway?!谁要帮你啊？！

PekolaBeef hotpot...牛肉火锅……

PekolaPekola will never attend a witch's feast!佩可拉是不会去魔女的宴会的！

Jashin-chan grabs Pekola's shoulders and forces her to look into her eyes.小邪神抓住佩可拉的肩膀，让她直视自己的眼睛。

PekolaWhat-what are you trying to do?!你、你想干什么？！

Jashin-chanThe kindness and empathy that have long lain dormant within the depths of my soul are now awakened. From today onward, I am no longer the demon of the past. I shall become a person who does good every day.我已经觉醒了一直藏匿于内心深处的善良和共情。 从今天开始，我不再是过去那个恶魔了，我要做一个日行一善的好人。

PekolaReally?是吗？

Jashin-chanLook into my eyes, Pekola.看着我的眼睛，佩可拉。

PekolaWhat...什么……

The sparkle in Jashin-chan's eyes is something Pekola has never seen before. An guileless individual like Pekola can't discern the secret message that's hidden in the depths of those eyes— "Just kidding."小邪神眼中闪耀的光芒是佩可拉从未见过的。 单纯的佩可拉还无法辨别出，小邪神眼底深处隐藏着秘密—— “骗你的。”

Jashin-chanI'm a demon because I was born a demon. There's nothing I can do about that. How can you, as an angel, not trust me because of something I have no control over? Isn't it your job to guide us lost sheep back onto the path of righteousness?我之所以是恶魔，是因为我生而为恶魔，这是我无法决定的事情。 身为天使的你，怎么能因为无法由我决定的事情而不信任我呢？ 你们的职责不就是帮助像我一样迷途知返的羔羊吗？

Pekola... P-Pekola understands.…… 佩、佩可拉知道了。

Jashin-chan pats Pekola's shoulders with gratification.小邪神欣慰地拍了拍佩可拉的肩。

Jashin-chanGo, Pekola. It should be cooking up around now, I think? A5 wagyu beef, shirataki noodles, napa cabbage, potatoes... If you don't go, we'll have a lot of leftovers...快去吧，佩可拉。 现在应该正在煮了吧？A5和牛、魔芋丝、白菜、土豆…… 要是佩可拉不去的话，可能会剩很多菜也说不定哦……

PekolaThe food... The food is innocent!食物……食物是无辜的！

Pekola makes a mad dash out of the park.佩可拉朝着公园外狂奔而去……

Jashin-chanHehe, how's that, Little Snake? Wasn't I super cool just now?哼哼，怎么样，小蛇蛇，我刚刚是不是特别潇洒帅气？

Ouroboros... Can we get back to our unfinished business now?…… 现在，可以继续刚刚没完成的事了吗？

Jashin-chanHeeheehee, here I come...嘻嘻嘻……我来了……

Jashin-chan rubs her hands excitedly and approaches NZ75.小邪神兴奋地搓着手，开始逼近NZ75.

NZ75You-you guys... Fine, kill me or flay me, do whatever you want to me!你、你们…… 要杀要剐随你们便吧！

NZ75 closes her eyes with a pained look on her face.NZ75痛苦地闭上了双眼。

Jashin-chanSay, NZ, would you rather be tied up like this or like this?NZ，你喜欢这样绑还是这样绑啊？

NZ75It doesn't matter! ...Just make sure it looks good.都无所谓啊！ ……绑好看点的吧。

Jashin-chanHaha, you fell for it! I'm actually just gonna cuff—哈哈！上当了吧！ 其实我是打算直接把你锁——

Ouroboros smacks Jashin-chan upside the head.衔尾蛇一巴掌拍在小邪神的后脑勺上。

OuroborosWill you die if you don't spout rubbish?不说废话会死吗？

Jashin-chan(Whimpers) Okay, I got it...呜呜……知道了……

Jashin-chan picks up the handcuffs and prepares to secure NZ75. The cold metal of the restraints presses against NZ75's skin—小邪神重新捡起锁链准备拷住NZ75。 冰冷的镣铐贴上了NZ75的皮肤——

Jashin-chanHuh? Where did I put the keys?诶，钥匙我放哪了来着？

OuroborosDammit, you stupid snake—该死，臭蛇——

Ouroboros is about to punch Jashin-chan in the back of the head, but her target vanishes before her fist can make contact.衔尾蛇瞄准小邪神的后脑勺出拳，却在即将抵达目标的时候落了空。

OuroborosWhere did that stupid snake go?!臭蛇人呢？！

Jashin-chan has just vanished from within arm's reach of her. At the same time, the long-slumbering CZ75 and P90 open their eyes.刚刚近在咫尺的小邪神凭空消失了。 与此同时，沉睡多时的CZ75和P90睁开了双眼……

Girl in the Back Alley · Stage 9-5 后街少女 · 9-5

Jashin-chanYurine, did you hear something from the back door?百合铃，你有没有听见后门有什么声音啊？

YurineHuh? No.诶，没有啊。

Jashin-chanI've been hearing some kind of movement from there since a moment ago.从刚刚开始，我就老听见后门有什么动静。

YurineI'll go take a look, then. You just stay here.那我去看看吧。 你在这里歇着就好啦。

Jashin-chanI'll check it out myself.我自己去看吧。

Jashin-chan opens the back door. A scrawny figure collapses in front of her.小邪神拉开了后门。 一个虚弱的身影倒在了面前。

PekolaSo hungry... O Lord... I'm so hungry...饿……天父大人…… 好饿……

Jashin-chanOh, so it's Pekola.是佩可拉啊。

PekolaLet go of Pekola... You demon...放开佩可拉……你这恶魔……

Jashin-chanGotcha.知道啦。

Jashin-chan drags Pekola to a table.小邪神将佩可拉拎到座位上。

Jashin-chanSo, what do you want to eat?有什么想吃的吗？

PekolaStay strong... Pekola...佩可拉……铁骨……

Jashin-chanOkay okay okay, so how about the curry rice that you like?好好好，那来点你平常爱吃的咖喱怎么样？

PekolaCurry... Pekola likes...咖喱……佩可拉的爱……

Jashin-chanOkay, one curry bento coming right up.好的，一份咖喱便当。

Girl in the Back Alley · Stage 9-6 后街少女 · 9-6

Jashin-chanHere, it's your curry bento.来，你的咖喱便当。

PekolaAh, it smells delicious!啊！好香！

Pekola starts wolfing down the curry bento.佩可拉扑进了咖喱便当中。

Jashin-chanDon't you work as a part-time bodyguard for Poporon? How come you're still starving like this?你不是在波波隆那里兼职保安吗？ 怎么还会饿成这样？

PekolaPekola doesn't really get it, but it seems Poporon's been focusing on online gigs recently. In any case, she doesn't need a bodyguard for the time being.波波隆最近在专注拓展线上主播的事务，佩可拉也不太懂。 但是目前暂时不需要保安了。

Jashin-chanIs it because of the recent fan attack?是因为之前粉丝袭击的事情吗？

PekolaYeah... That's pretty much the reason for that.嗯……多少有这方面的原因吧。

Jashin-chanBeing an idol is tough, huh...偶像也很辛苦啊……

Jashin-chan turns on the TV and switches to Poporon's idol channel.小邪神打开电视，调到了波波隆的偶像频道。

PekolaHumans are really weird.人类，真是很奇怪啊。

Jashin-chanWeird?奇怪？

PekolaThey love and hate things at the drop of a hat and for no apparent reason.突如其来又莫名其妙的喜欢，突如其来又莫名其妙的憎恨。

Jashin-chanThat does happen sometimes.有的时候确实会这样。

PekolaBut however ridiculous these feelings are, humans can still draw strength from them and achieve incredible feats.可是，即便是这么莫名其妙的感情，人类也能从中汲取能量，去做出一些突破自我的行为。

Jashin-chanThat's the resilience of humans for you.这就是人类旺盛的生命力啊。

PekolaPekola doesn't quite understand it, but Pekola thinks it's amazing.虽然佩可拉不太能理解，但是佩可拉觉得很厉害。

PekolaHumans are amazing for being able to work hard and survive even in such a harsh world.能够努力在这样残酷的环境中生存下来的人类，都很厉害。

Jashin-chanIndeed they are.是啊。

With Poporon's singing drifting through the air, the pair spend a rare, peaceful night in each other's company.在波波隆的歌声中，两人难得度过了平和的一夜。

Jinbocho Without Her 没有她的神保町

...At the entrance to Hell.……魔界入口。

Jashin-chan... Where is this? Where am I? Where's Little Snake? Where's NZ?…… 我在哪？这里是？ 小蛇蛇呢？NZ也不见了？

The sky is familiar, the trees are familiar, the air is familiar... All this tells Jashin-chan that she has returned home.熟悉的天空、熟悉的树木、熟悉的空气…… 一切都在昭示着，小邪神回到了故乡。

Jashin-chanI'm back? Ahahahaha, I'm back! I don't know how it happened, but I'm free at last!!!我回来了？！哈哈哈哈哈我回来了！ 虽然不知道怎么回事，但是总之我自由了！！！

Jashin-chanAhahahaha, I'm freeeeeeeee!!!哈哈哈哈哈哈哈我自由了！！！

Jashin-chan runs across the fields of Hell...小邪神在魔界的土地上飞驰起来……

...Several minutes earlier, in Yurine's apartment.……数分钟前，百合铃的公寓。

After pulling back the rug to clean the place, Yurine immediately discovers the magic circle Jashin-chan has left behind.掀开地毯正准备打扫卫生的百合铃第一时间发现了小邪神留下的阵法。

YurineNo wonder she fessed up so quickly, she had a backup plan.难怪认错认得那么快，原来是留了后手啊。

Yurine smiles coldly and prepares to erase the magic circle.百合铃冷冷一笑，准备直接把法阵擦掉。

Ding dong— Someone rings the doorbell.叮咚——有人在按门铃。

YurineOne second, please.请稍等。

YurineMedusa, why are you crying?美杜莎，你怎么哭了？

MedusaI... (Sobs)我……呜呜……

Medusa tells Yurine everything that happened at the gachapon store.美杜莎告诉了百合铃在扭蛋馆中发生的事情。

YurineThere there, Medusa. When Jashin-chan comes back, I'll be sure to teach her a lesson for you.别哭了，美杜莎，等小邪神回来，我一定帮你好好教训她。

Medusa(Sobs) Don't-don't hit her...呜呜……还是别、别打她了……

YurineJashin-chan keeps bullying you because you're always too kind.你就是太温柔了，才老被小邪神欺负啊。

Medusa(Sobs)呜呜呜……

Ding dong— Someone rings the doorbell again.叮咚——有人在按门铃。

YurineA moment, please.请稍等——

PekolaUh... I heard that tonight...那个……听说今晚……

YurineOh, it's Pekola. What are you doing here all of a sudden?是佩可拉啊，怎么突然来了？

PekolaJashin-chan said there would be beef hotpot tonight... She invited Pekola to have some too...小邪神说今晚有牛肉火锅……邀请佩可拉也来吃……

YurineHm? Jashin-chan never told me anything like that.嗯？小邪神没有跟我说过这回事呢。

YurineStill, you can come in and have a seat, Pekola.不过佩可拉先进来坐吧。

Pekola stiffly sits down opposite Medusa and Yurine. Yurine pours a big mug of barley tea for Pekola.佩可拉拘谨地坐在百合铃和美杜莎的对面。 百合铃倒了一杯大麦茶端给佩可拉。

YurinePekola, where did you see Jashin-chan?佩可拉，你是在哪里遇见的小邪神？

PekolaI saw her in front of my tent, Pekola's tent was destroyed and Jashin-chan said that a bull-headed monster did it.我在帐篷前遇见的小邪神，佩可拉的帐篷又被撞毁了，小邪神说是一个牛头怪干的。

YurineA bull-headed monster...牛头怪……

MedusaCould she be talking about Minos...?不会是在说米诺斯吧……

(Bam bam bam) A series of forceful raps come from the door.咚咚咚——一阵有力的敲门声传来。

YurineComing—请稍等——

The door opens and a furious Minos storms in.门开了，满脸愤怒的米诺斯走了进来。

MinosDammit, that Jashin-chan makes me so mad—气死我了，小邪神这个家伙——

MedusaWhat happened, Minos?怎么了，米诺斯？

YurineWhat happened to your tail...?你的尾巴怎么……

Minos narrates the story of her encounter with Jashin-chan and how the latter became the subject of her fury.米诺斯将自己和小邪神是如何相遇，又是如何被激怒的，全部讲述了一遍。

YurineJashin-chan's lies are getting more and more ridiculous.小邪神，撒谎撒得越来越离谱了啊。

MedusaHow could this be...怎么会这样……

YurineI can't take it anymore.我已经无法忍耐了。

Yurine stands up.百合铃站了起来。

YurineI'm going to find Jashin-chan and settle things with her right now.我现在就出去找小邪神算账。

MedusaCalm down, Yurine!冷静一点啊，百合铃！

MinosGood, we'll go together!好！我们一起找她算账！

PekolaA-Are we going?要、要走了吗？

The four of them head outside. In unison, they step over the rug which conceals a secret.四个人一起朝着门外走去。 她们的步伐一致，先后踏过了掩盖着秘密的地毯。

The magic circle beneath it lights up with a familiar radiance...毯下的法阵亮起了熟悉的光芒……

MedusaEhhhhhhh?!诶诶诶？！

YurineIt's Jashin-chan's—!是小邪神——！

The light fades, and the four girls disappear into the air.光芒收束，四个少女消失在了空中。

...On the streets of Jinbocho. Jashin-chan, who was at the peak of her triumph just moments ago, now resembles a three-day-old dried herring as she trudges tiredly through Jinbocho.……神保町街头。 刚刚还意气风发的小邪神，此刻却像被暴晒三天的咸鱼一样，疲惫地拖着身体行走在神保町街头。

Jashin-chanI feel so empty... This is great news, but I've got nobody to enjoy it with... Is Bête the only one I can celebrate my newfound freedom with?好空虚…… 明明是这么大的喜事，却没有人可以分享…… 难道我只能跟贝特分享我重获自由的喜悦吗……

Tangan-chanCongratulations, Jashin-chan.恭喜你，小邪神。

Jashin-chanAck! Don't just appear out of nowhere! Also, it isn't time for an episode recap yet, is it?!哇啊——不要突然出现啊！ 还有！现在还没到前情提要出现的时机吧！

Tangan-chanOh, I'm not here as Recap or as a narrator. Right now, I am simply Tangan-chan the delivery demon.我不是以前情提要或者旁白的身份出现的喔，现在的我是派送员小单眼。

Jashin-chanHow many part-time jobs are you working at the same time?!你到底同时兼职几份工啊？！

Tangan-chanHere's the deal. Since you managed to take out so many of the main characters of "Jashin-chan's Frontline" all by yourself, you are now officially the number one character as decreed by the powers that be. Congratulations!是这样的，因为你凭一己之力干掉了这一季《小邪神前线》的几位主演，所以你已经正式成为官方指定一番位啦！ 恭喜你！

Jashin-chan...I don't feel very happy.……并没有很高兴。

Tangan-chanAs a reward, we've specially unlocked hidden plot scenes for you!作为奖励，我们特意为你解锁了隐藏剧情！

Jashin-chanCan I skip them?可以跳过吗？

Tangan-chanSure!好！

Tangan-chanNow, let's watch the hidden scenes that have been unlocked for the first time!接下来让我们一起收看首次解封的隐藏剧情！

Jashin-chanYou're just ignoring me now!完全没有听我说话啊！

...Outside the gachapon store.……扭蛋馆门前。

MedusaJashin-chan, wait for me!小邪神！等着我！

NarratorMedusa, who has been sprinting the whole way, suddenly screeches to a halt right outside the gachapon store. Has she forgotten something? Or has she suddenly changed her mind about saving Jashin-chan? In this moment of suspense... Medusa starts tidying up her dress, which has been ripped by tree branches, and hides the bruises and scrapes that cover her legs. Medusa sustained these injuries when she fell while taking a shortcut on her way down the mountain. Looks like it was a pretty bad fall...一直狂奔的美杜莎突然在扭蛋馆前刹住了脚步。 是忘带什么东西了吗？还是突然不想救小邪神了呢？ 正当真相扑朔迷离之际，只见—— 美杜莎开始整理好树枝划破的裙摆，将腿上遍布的淤青和伤痕藏匿起来。 这些伤痕都是在美杜莎抄小路下山的时候留下的，那一跤摔的真狠啊……

MedusaTangan-chan, your narration is too loud...小单眼，念旁白的声音太大啦……

NarratorPardon me, Miss Medusa. I forgot to switch over to the narration channel...抱歉，美杜莎小姐，我忘记开启旁白频道了……

MedusaIt's fine.没关系啦。

Medusa adjusts her dress, concealing her cuts and bruises. Noticing Tangan-chan's questioning gaze, Medusa smiles and explains herself.美杜莎整理好了裙摆，刚刚还显眼的伤痕已经几乎看不见了。 注意到了小单眼好奇的目光，美杜莎微笑着解释。

MedusaIn the past, it was always Jashin-chan who came running to save me. Whether it was being bullied by my classmates or being swindled by a shady storekeeper, Jashin-chan was always the first to rush to my rescue. Now that I finally have the chance to rescue Jashin-chan, I don't want to make a lame entrance.以前，一直都是小邪神赶来救我。 不管是被同班的同学欺负也好，被黑心的商店老板骗了也好，小邪神总是冲在最前面…… 好不容易，我也有了可以拯救小邪神的机会，所以才不要那么逊地登场呢。

Narrator... But what if Jashin-chan is lying?…… 如果小邪神是骗你的呢？

MedusaEven if she's lying to me, I have to go to her side and be with her anyway.哪怕她是骗我的，我也要去到她的身边，和她在一起。

MedusaBecause she's my friend, after all.因为，我们是好朋友啊。

Medusa smiles and waves Tangan-chan goodbye before entering the gachapon store...美杜莎笑着朝小单眼挥了挥手，跑向了扭蛋馆……

...At the entrance to the park.……公园门口。

NarratorMinos exits the park, in low spirits after having a big handful of her tail fur pulled out. As everyone in Hell knows, the only thing Minotaurs value as much as the horns on their heads is the fur on their tails. Anyone with a sleek coat of glossy tail fur—被薅了一大把尾巴毛的米诺斯神情低迷地从公园里走出。 魔界的各位都知道，米诺陶诺斯族的恶魔最在意的，除了头上的角，就是尾巴毛了。 只要能拥有光亮柔顺的尾巴毛——

MinosTangan-chan, you're being annoying.小单眼，你挡住我的路了。

NarratorEh?! How could I have forgotten to switch channels again!诶，我怎么又忘记换频道了！

Minos is feeling too down to contest the point.米诺斯情绪低落，没有搭理。

NarratorMiss Minos, are you mad at Jashin-chan?米诺斯小姐，你在生小邪神的气吗？

MinosNo, it's perfectly normal for friends to scuffle with each other... When I was young, I accidentally launched Jashin-chan into the sky when pushing her on the swing, I broke her spine by accident when we were playing house, I broke her tail when punching a sandbag... That sort of thing. I just...really hate being lied to.没有，朋友之间小打小闹不是很正常嘛…… 小的时候，我也有过荡秋千把小邪神推上天、玩过家家把小邪神的腰按断、打沙包把小邪神的尾巴打折……的经历。 我只是……很讨厌被欺骗的感觉。

NarratorMiss Minos...米诺斯小姐……

MinosI'll forgive her, of course. But not until we fight it out properly.当然，我会原谅她的。 不过是在好好打一架之后。

NarratorHm?诶？

MinosJust my luck that we're friends. No matter how much we disagree, once we have a good fight it'll all be water under the bridge. Just you wait, Jashin-chan! I won't let you off so easily this time...谁让我们是朋友的，不管多大的矛盾，只要狠狠打一架，就该冰释前嫌。 哼，小邪神，你给我等着！ 这一次，我不会轻易放过你了……

Minos continues muttering to herself as she heads toward Yurine's apartment. Her bald tail slowly perks up, rising proudly once again like a flag in the wind...米诺斯嘴里嘟嘟囔囔着走向百合铃的公寓，光秃秃的尾巴渐渐被重新注入了生命力，高高昂起，像旗帜一样在风中立起……

Jashin-chan's hand slowly presses on her belly...小邪神的手悄悄按在了胃部上方……

Jashin-chan... So you made up the headcount for activating the magic circle...…… 原来是你们凑齐了法阵需要的人数……

Tangan-chanAnd that was just a part of the hidden scenes!以上就是部分隐藏剧情啦！

Jashin-chanThat's enough...够了……

Tangan-chanOf course, I know you haven't had enough, so— Let's move on to the rest of the hidden scenes! The next one features Pekola—当然，我知道你肯定还意犹未尽，所以—— 让我们赶快开始剩余部分的隐藏剧情播放吧！ 接下来的部分是佩可——

Jashin-chanThat's enough! I don't want to see any more!够了！我不想再看了！

Jashin-chan shoves Tangan-chan aside and runs down the other side of the street...小邪神推开小单眼，冲向了街的另一端……

After walking for who knows how long, a newly-opened convenience store draws Jashin-chan's attention.不知道走了多久，路边的一家新开业的便利店吸引了小邪神的注意力。

Jashin-chanA convenience store... There used to be a bookstore here. Yurine used to come here often.便利店……这里之前明明是书店来着。 百合铃经常来这里逛。

YurineJashin-chan, come look, the shopkeeper just brought in these books.小邪神，快看，这是老板新进的书。

Jashin-chanYu-Yurine!百、百合铃！

YurineYou're worrying too much. These books won't be enough to collapse the floor at home.又在说些杞人忧天的话，只是这些书的话，是压不垮家里的地板的。

Jashin-chanYurine...百合铃……

Jashin-chan reaches out to her. Her fingers pass through Yurine's face and make contact with the cold glass of the convenience store window. By the time she comes to her senses, Yurine is gone.小邪神伸手过去，手指穿过了百合铃专注的脸，触碰到了便利店冰冷的玻璃。 回过神来的时候，百合铃已经不见了。

Jashin-chanHaha... How could Yurine be here...哈哈…… 百合铃怎么可能在这里……

Jashin-chan silently walks down the streets. The bustling crowds brushing past her seem like specters from another world.小邪神默不吭声地沿街行走着。 擦肩而过的热闹人群像是走在另一个世界。

MegaphoneWe've got a promotion for you! 40% off all lunch sets! They're all going for just 60%!大促销！大促销！ 午市套餐全部六折！全部六折！

Jashin-chanHuh? This curry place has long queues every time I come here... To think they'd offer discounts too!诶？每次来吃都会排好久队的咖喱屋…… 竟然也会有大减价的时候！

YurineIt's time for lunch. You want curry, right?到了吃午饭的时间了，你想吃咖喱对吧？

Jashin-chanHere we go again...又来了……

YurineLet's stand in line and wait, then. Besides, it's not like we have anything important to do later.那我们就一起排队等等看吧，反正接下来也没有什么要紧的事。

YurineYou want their signature roast potatoes? Sure, I want them too.想吃这家店的特制马铃薯吗？好啊，我也想吃了。

Jashin-chanIs that you, Yurine...?是你吗，百合铃……

Yurine vanishes into thin air once again, leaving a confused shop assistant looking uncertainly at Jashin-chan.百合铃又一次凭空消失，只剩下满脸疑惑的店员犹豫不决地看着小邪神。

ShopkeeperUh... Would you like to come in? Though I'm afraid our signature potatoes are all sold out...那个……要进来点餐吗？ 不过，特制马铃薯已经卖光了……

Pain washes over her gut like a flood and Jashin-chan shakes her head before leaving.翻江倒海的胃痛袭来，小邪神痛苦地摇摇头走开了。

Jashin-chan... I should be happy... So why...…… 明明应该很开心才对…… 为什么……

Jashin-chan lowers her head and joins the crowd, like a withered leaf falling from a branch into the mud.小邪神低头走入人群，像一片萧瑟的落叶从满是新叶的枝头上跌落到泥泞中。

P90Ugh... What am I doing here?唔……我怎么在这里？

CZ75NZ, P90, where's Ouroboros?NZ，P90，衔尾蛇？

Seeing how quickly the tables have turned against her, Ouroboros decides to beat a hasty retreat.局势急转直下，衔尾蛇决定先行撤退。

NZ75Oh no you don't!别想跑！

NZ75 rushes forward and blocks Ouroboros' path.NZ75率先扑上来，拦住了衔尾蛇的去路。

CZ75So, Ouroboros, what did you do to me at the gachapon store?对哦，衔尾蛇，你在扭蛋馆对我做了什么？

P90I was in a warehouse just now...我刚刚明明在仓库里……

NZ75You'd better come clean about your plan!好好交代下你们的计划吧！

Ouroboros...Dammit. Is it because the stupid snake has vanished? Her spell has lost its effect...……该死。 是因为臭蛇突然消失吗？咒语全部失效了……

CZ75Ouroboros, what are the two of you plotting?衔尾蛇，你们在计划什么？

OuroborosHumph, I just wanted to send you three troublemakers back to Griffin.哼，只是想把你们三个麻烦精送回格里芬罢了。

P90Then you could have just TOLD us. I mean, which of us wouldn't want to go back to the base?那你一开始讲出来不就好了嘛。 我们谁会不想回到基地呢？

NZ75No, she's planning to stay behind by herself.不，她打算自己留下。

CZ75But why?为什么？

OuroborosDoes it matter? It's not like Griffin needs a problematic Doll like me anyway. The combat sims have sucked out whatever value I had.重要吗？ 反正格里芬基地也不需要我这样的问题人形，我的利用价值早就在模拟训练中耗尽了。

CZ75You say you're a problematic Doll? Okay, can anyone here say that they don't have problems of their own?问题人形？我们这几个哪一个不是问题人形？

NZ75Not me!我不承认！

P90Me neither!我也不承认！

CZ75... The Griffin base is filled with your so-called "problematic Dolls". But the Commander has brought us together and given us the opportunity to make use of our strengths. Griffin is the amalgamation of imperfect Dolls like us.…… 整个格里芬基地多的是你所谓的“问题人形”，但是指挥官把我们凝聚起来，让我们发挥自己的特长。 也正是这样的我们才组成了格里芬基地。

OuroborosThe reference material for the neural calibration exam is filled with long screeds like what you just said, I'm sick of hearing them. I just don't get it. What's wrong with just sticking to my plan and going back to the Griffin base...?你们格里芬基地的思想校准考试教材上多的是你这样的长篇大论，我已经听腻了。 真是搞不懂，你们按照我的计划乖乖回格里芬基地有什么不好……

NZ75But we're a team now! As if we would abandon a teammate and go back without you!我们现在可是一个小队！哪有丢下队友自己回去的道理。

P90Yup!没错！

CZ75Even Sangvis Ferri won't easily abandon their friends, right?就算是铁血，也不会轻易抛弃同伴的吧。

UMP45Sangvis Dolls have never been emotionless killing machines. Especially the innovative designs like Hunter and Executioner. Being able to help each other means they can stay alive longer on the battlefield. That's why she saved Hunter instead.因为铁血人形从制造之初，就不是毫无感情的杀戮机器。 尤其是刽子手和猎手这样的先锋角色，能够互助就意味着在战场上存活更久。 所以为了保护同僚而放弃一些低级命令，这个权限具有着相当高的优先级。

OuroborosHow do you know all this? You even know more about the priority of Sangvis authority than I do...为什么你会知道这么多……甚至连铁血权限的优先级都比我清楚。

UMP45I don't, actually. I simply gambled on it. Perhaps...this is Agent's insurance for keeping you in check.我并没有那么清楚，只是赌了一下。 也许……这正是代理人防止你乱来的底牌呢。

Jashin-chanI'm back.我回来了。

Jashin-chan suddenly appears behind the others. She is clearly on her last legs.奄奄一息的小邪神突然出现在了四人身后。

P90Uwah, you scared the crap out of me!呜哇，吓我一跳！

OuroborosWhere the hell did you go, you stupid snake?!你个臭蛇跑哪里去了？！

Jashin-chan suddenly collapses...小邪神轰然倒下……

NZ75Hey! This isn't the time to show off your acting skills!喂！不要在这种时候发挥你的演技啊！

CZ75Wait, NZ, something's wrong with Jashin-chan...等下，NZ，小邪神不太对劲……

OuroborosQuit playing dead already!装什么死啊！

Jashin-chan(Groans) My stomach hurts...呜…… 胃好痛……

Jashin-chan collapses to the ground and her tail convulses into twisted coil. Her hands are pressed tightly over her belly and groans of pain escape from between her gritted teeth.小邪神瘫倒在地上，尾巴纠结地拧成一团。 她的双手紧紧捂住腹部，痛苦的呜咽声从紧咬的唇齿间溢出。

Jashin-chanMy stress-induced gastritis...is flaring up... It...hurts...神经……胃炎…… 犯了……好痛苦……

CZ75... Quit standing around, call the ambulance!…… 别愣着了，快给医院打电话！

P90I'll use that phone booth over there!我去那边的公用电话亭打电话！

NZ75I-I'll go to the pharmacy and see what they can do!我、我去药店问问看！

NZ75 and P90 run off in separate directions, leaving Ouroboros and CZ75 with Jashin-chan. CZ75 props Jashin-chan's head against NZ75's book bag.NZ75和P90朝着各自的方向跑去，剩下CZ75、衔尾蛇和小邪神留在原地。 CZ75将NZ75留下的书包放到了小邪神的颈后。

CZ75Is this better?这样会舒服点吗？

Jashin-chanWhat's this? It's so hard...什么东西？好硌啊……

Jashin-chan reaches into the bag to pull out the offending object, and through her teary eyes, she makes out what CZ75 has stuffed under her neck. It is Volume II of the Grimoire. The book which contains the return spell.小邪神伸手从包的缝隙里掏出了硌到自己的东西，泪眼朦胧之间，小邪神勉强看清了CZ75塞到自己颈下的东西。 《魔导书下卷》。 记录着返回咒语的《魔导书下卷》。

Jashin-chan... Hahaha...…… 哈哈哈……

CZ75This is...这是……

Jashin-chanI... Hahaha... I did something incredibly stupid...我……哈哈哈…… 我做了好愚蠢的事啊……

OuroborosLook on the bright side, since when have you NOT done something incredibly stupid?想开点，你做的哪件事不蠢？

Jashin-chan... I want to hurl... Little Snake...…… 想吐…… 小蛇蛇……

OuroborosWhat?干嘛？

Jashin-chanCould you...hold my hand...? Whenever this happened to me, Yurine would hold my hand like this and it wouldn't hurt so much anymore...能不能……握住我的手…… 以前我难受的时候，百合铃就会这样握住我的手，然后就没那么痛苦了……

Ouroboros... I'll kill you if you puke on my hand.…… 敢吐我手上，你就死定了。

Jashin-chanYurine...and the others... They're all gone...百合铃……还有她们……都走了……

OuroborosWasn't that part of our plan?这不是我们计划中的一环吗？

Jashin-chanI thought I would be happy... But I'm not. In fact, I feel downright miserable... Why is that, Little Snake?我以为我会很开心的…… 但是我现在一点也不，相反还很痛苦…… 为什么啊，小蛇蛇？

Jashin-chanWhy is this world nothing like what I imagined...为什么这个世界跟我想的完全不一样呢……

OuroborosBecause this world is a pile of dog turds. The funny thing is that I fought for it with everything I had. I fought over a thousand AIs and suffered great humiliation at the hands of that bastard, all to come to a world like this.因为这个世界就是一坨狗屎。 更好笑的是，这是我拼上全部换来的。 我跟上千个AI战斗，被那个混蛋家伙羞辱，就是为了来到这样的世界。

JormungandrBecause I want you to see the world outside, Little Snake. I want to see your wretched face... ...When you finally find something out there that's actually worth giving your life for...因为我想让小蛇蛇去看看外面的世界啊。 如果你看见那些比战斗更值得你耗费生命的东西…… 会露出怎样扭曲的表情呢哈哈哈哈……

OuroborosHeh, my face IS pretty damn wretched right now.哈，我现在的表情倒确实很扭曲。

Jashin-chanDon't say that...别这样说……

OuroborosIsn't it?难道不是吗？

Jashin-chanUrgh... It hurts...咕……好痛苦……

Jashin-chan's freezing hand trembles in Ouroboros' grasp.小邪神冰冷的手在衔尾蛇的手中颤抖着。

Ouroboros... Are you just going to give up like this? What about the Jashin-chan Empire you were going to build?…… 你就这样放弃了吗？说好要建立的小邪神帝国呢？

Jashin-chanGive me a break... I'm in pain here...干嘛啦……我现在很痛苦啊……

Jashin-chan tries to pull her hand away from Ouroboros' grasp, but the latter refuses to let go.小邪神想要从衔尾蛇的手中抽走自己的手，却被死死攥紧。

CZ75What are you doing, Ouroboros?! She's in pain, don't force her anymore...衔尾蛇，你在干什么？！ 她已经很痛苦了，不要再强迫她了……

CZ75 walks up to Jashin-chan, intending to remove her from Ouroboros' grasp. However, Ouroboros clings to Jashin-chan for dear life.CZ75靠近小邪神，想要将她从衔尾蛇的身边抽离。 像是握住最后一根救命稻草，衔尾蛇用尽力气紧抓住小邪神不放。

OuroborosHey, stupid snake. Lend me your power.喂，臭蛇。 把你的力量借给我。

Jashin-chan...What?……什么？

OuroborosFulfil your promise and build the ideal world we wished for.兑现你的承诺，建立一个如我们所愿的理想世界。

CZ75Let go, Ouroboros!放手啊，衔尾蛇！

OuroborosThe food there will never go bad, our parts will never wear out, and motor oil will always be in ample supply... We can get anything we want, and all the people we hate will be gone... Everything will remain at its most perfect moment...在那里，食物不会过期，零件不会磨损，机油永远充裕…… 想要的东西都能得到，讨厌的人都会消失…… 一切都将停留在最完美的时刻。

Jashin-chan... I...…… 我……

OuroborosGive me your strength. Let us take back everything we've lost, in a different way.把你的力量给我，让我们曾经失去的东西，以另一种形式归来。

Jashin-chan doesn't say anything, but Ouroboros can feel a tremendous power flow into her through Jashin-chan's hand.小邪神不再说话，衔尾蛇感受到了汹涌深厚的力量从小邪神的手中流淌过来。

CZ75What...is this...这是……什么……

OuroborosCome, let us welcome a brave new world.来吧，一起迎接我们的新世界吧。

RecapHello? Anybody there? Uh... Why was all my screentime cut? You could at least have informed me, you know?! Also, nobody said anything about this job involving suuuuper long-distance travel to another world! I charge extra for that! Hello? Is anyone there? Aw man, I've been on-air the whole time...? Ahem, previously on "Jashin-chan's Frontline", Jashin-chan's plan finally succeeded, but she wasn't really happy about it. In order to take back what she lost, Jashin-chan and Ouroboros from the other world have joined hands to create their ideal world. Meanwhile, Yurine and co. have been transported to a place called the Griffin Base— Sorry, but my long-haul bus has arrived, so just sit back and enjoy the show!喂喂喂？有人在吗？ 那个……我的戏份怎么突然被剪掉了啊？多少要通知下本人的吧！ 还有啊，之前可没有讲这份工作还要进行异世界超——长途出差的！ 这可是另外的价格！喂！有没有人啊？ 哎呀，什么时候开始直播的…… 咳，前面说到小邪神的计划成功了，但她本人并不开心。 为了拿回失去的东西，小邪神和来自异世界的衔尾蛇携手，创造出了理想世界。 而另一边百合铃一行被召唤到了一个叫做格里芬基地的地方—— 抱歉，我的长途大巴到了，你们先继续观看接下来的剧情吧！

...In the Commander's office. The volume on the Commander's TV has been turned all the way down, and the people standing with their backs to the TV are equally silent.……指挥室。 电视机的音量被调至最低，背对电视机而站的几人也沉默不语。

Commander... Well, we have no other choice now.…… 现在也没有别的办法了。

K5But—可是——

CommanderFire up the magic circle again. According to what you said, if CZ and the others are still at their original location, we'll be able to teleport them back.再开启一次法阵吧，你刚刚也说了，如果CZ她们还停留在原地的话，这样就能把她们传送回来。

K5Theoretically, that should be the case.理论上是这样没错啦……

AgentGiven Ouroboros' personality, she'll stay put as long as there's no immediate danger.只要四周没有危险，以衔尾蛇的性格，她应该会停留在原地。

CommanderGive it a try, K5. Might as well do it here.在这里试试吧，K5。

K5Understood.我明白了。

K5 redraws the magic circle as shown in the book.K5按照书本的指示重新画好了法阵。

CommanderIs that it?这样就可以了吗？

K5Um, actually, we need—唔，还需要——

The magic circle shines with blinding light.法阵迸发出了耀眼的光芒。

AgentAre they back?她们回来了吗？

K5That was fast!好快！

???Uwahhhhh—呜啊啊啊啊——

??O Lord, save us!!!天父大人救命啊！！！

Four unfamiliar girls appear in the middle of the summoning circle.四个陌生的少女出现在了法阵中间。

K5Eh?!诶？！

CommanderWait, isn't this from the episode I'm watching right now...?这不是我正在追的番里的……

K5Who are you? Where are CZ75 and the others?!你们是谁啊？CZ75她们呢？！

MinosYou tell me! Who are you, and why have you brought us here?这句话应该我们问才对吧？ 你们是谁啊，怎么把我们弄到这里来了？

PekolaThis doesn't look like Heaven, it looks more like a nest of demons...不是天国，更像是恶魔的老巢……

K5She-she has horns... Could she be...牛、牛角…… 难道是书上记载的……

MedusaWhat is...this place...? Oh no! That's a human!这里是……哪里啊…… 啊！是人类！

Upon seeing the Commander, the purple-haired girl immediately stuffs her head into a brown paper bag.看见指挥官的瞬间，紫发少女慌忙地将脑袋套进了牛皮纸袋里。

CommanderThis is the Griffin Base, and I am the Commander here. I apologize for this. We were going to summon our missing Dolls, but we ended up summoning you instead...这里是格里芬基地，我是这里的指挥官。 很抱歉，我们本来准备召唤回消失的人形的，没想到召唤出了你们……

YurineMissing Dolls? Do you mean...消失的人形？难道是指……

K5CZ75, NZ75, P90, and—CZ75、NZ75、P90和——

AgentOuroboros.衔尾蛇。

YurineI knew it...果然啊……

MinosAren't they the people hanging around Jashin-chan?这不是小邪神身边那几个？

MedusaSo this is the world they came from.原来她们来自这个世界啊。

CommanderDo you know where they are now?她们现在在哪里？

Yurine...And that's basically what happened. They ought to be with Jashin-chan now, so they shouldn't be in any danger.……事情就是这样。 现在她们和小邪神在一起，应该不会有什么危险的。

K5So what you said about a portal that directly links two worlds is true, Miss Yurine?刚刚百合铃小姐说，能够直接打开连接两个世界的大门，是真的吗？

YurineYes, I've been reading through magical tomes the entire afternoon and found that this solution is the simplest, though it is also somewhat draining.是的，我查阅了一下午魔法书，发现这个办法最为简单，虽然消耗也相对较大。

MinosYurine is amazing!百合铃可是很厉害的！

CommanderWell, that's won—那太好——

KalinaCommander! Bad news!指挥官！不好了！

CommanderWhat is it, Kalin?怎么了，格琳？

KalinaThe big storm is here! The contamination index around the base is spiking!特大暴风雨来了！我们基地周边的污染浓度上升了！

KalinaAnd it's brought tons of ELIDs with it...有很多ELID被吸引过来了……

CommanderUnderstood. Dispatch our teams immediately.我知道了，立刻部署小队出击。

AgentWhat great timing.真会挑时间。

YurineYou seem to be having some kind of trouble.你们看上去遇到了什么麻烦。

MedusaWhat are ELIDs?ELID是什么？

K5Um, they're kind of like zombies, like in the movies...唔，跟以前影视剧里的丧尸差不多……

Yurine... Did you say zombies?…… 丧尸？

Yurine's eyes gleam with excitement.少女的眼睛里爆发出了兴奋的红光。

YurineIn that case, I insist on helping out.那么，请务必允许我来帮忙。

Griffin Without Her 没有她的格里芬

...In the vicinity of the Griffin Base. Yurine and friends charge into the fray. They are soon surrounded by the attacking ELIDs.……格里芬基地附近，冲在前面的百合铃一行很快被袭来的ELID包围。

MedusaWhat should we do? There's so many zombies...怎么办啊，这么多丧尸……

MinosDon't worry, Medusa. Yurine and I are here.别害怕，美杜莎，有我和百合铃在。

YurineYou guy should stay here.你们留在这里就好。

YurineAs for these zombies... Hehehe... Leave them all~ to me...这些丧尸……嘻嘻嘻……全部交给我……

MinosWill you be okay by yourself?你一个人不要紧吗？

YurineYou take care of Medusa. Here I go— Lingering lost souls of the dead... Return to the darkness from whence you came...你保护好美杜莎。 我上了—— 徘徊于世间的迷途亡灵啊…… 回归黑暗吧……

The Dolls huddle against the windows of the base, giving Yurine a wide berth.人形们瑟缩在基地的窗边，不敢靠近。

K5M-Miss Yurine...is... Unexpectedly...fearsome...百、百合铃小姐……实力…… 竟然如此……可怕……

AgentTo think she would call herself "an ordinary undergrad" while in possession of such strength. She seems to be a girl of many more secrets.有这样的实力还自称是“普通女大学生”，看来她的身上还隐藏了不少秘密。

KalinaCommander... That girl...指挥官……那个少女仅凭自己就……

CommanderYes, I saw it.我都看见了。

The Commander's fingers tighten around the tactical tablet they are holding. Yurine's combat data have all been recorded. Her performance is astounding. The Commander can think of no other words to describe it.指挥官激动地握紧了手中的指挥平板，百合铃刚刚的战斗数据已经全部记录了下来。 非常惊人的成绩。除此以外，指挥官想不到能够形容的词汇。

CommanderShe has a rare talent to be able to do so well against ELIDs on her very first sortie. If only we could retain her as an employee at the base...第一次应对ELID就能有如此亮眼的成绩，真的是不可多得的人才。 要是能留下她为格里芬基地工作就好了……

MinosCommander, since Yurine's dealt with the crisis, why don't you show us around the base?指挥官，既然危机已经被百合铃解决了，不如带我们参观参观基地啊！

CommanderI'd love to, but...参观基地倒是没问题，只是……

MedusaYurine still hasn't come to her senses yet... Going near her right now would be very dangerous...百合铃还没有缓过来……现在接近的话，很危险的……

The Commander mentally replays Yurine's combat footage...指挥官的脑海中回放了几段百合铃的战斗视频……

CommanderAgent, stay here and keep an eye on Yurine. I'll take the others on a tour around the base. Contact me immediately once Yurine comes round.代理人，你在这里保护百合铃，我带她们去参观基地。 百合铃清醒过来后，你立刻联系我。

AgentUnderstood.收到。

MinosSweet!好耶！

Pekola...Pekola won't enter the underbelly of a nest of demons!……佩可拉才不要去恶魔巢穴的深处！

MinosAw come on, we've come all this way already! It would be a shame not to have a look around!走嘛，来都来了！不好好参观下多可惜！

With Medusa in one hand and Pekola in the other, Minos happily follows the Commander. Agent pulls up a chair and takes a seat near Yurine, who is still lost in her own little world.米诺斯一手牵着美杜莎，一手拎着佩可拉，开心地跟上了指挥官。 代理人拉来一把椅子，坐在了还沉浸在自己世界中的百合铃附近。

YurineZombies... Hehe... ... Ugh... My stomach...hurts...丧尸……嘿嘿…… …… 唔…… 胃……好痛……

YurineIs this... Jinbocho? Am I back...?这里是……神保町？ 我回来了吗……

Nobody answers Yurine's query. The streets which are normally lively and packed are completely empty. A white plastic bag tumbles through the air, carried by the wind.无人回应百合铃的疑问，平日热闹的街头空无一人，白色的塑料袋寂寥地随风翻滚着。

Yurine... Jashin-chan...…… 小邪神……

Yurine enters the silent gachapon store. The floor inside is strewn with gachapon eggs . Yet the girl who would usually lie on the ground admiring her prizes is nowhere to be seen.百合铃走进了寂静无声的扭蛋馆，馆内散落着满地的扭蛋。 却不见那个经常趴在地上，满意地审视自己抽到的扭蛋的少女。

YurineThis Tsuchinoko... It's been crushed...槌子蛇…… 被踩烂了……

The pachinko parlor, the curry restaurant, the bar that serves fresh strawberry juice... Yurine searches through all these places that Jashin-chan usually frequents.柏青哥、咖喱屋、生草莓汁酒馆…… 小邪神常去的地方，百合铃挨个找过了。

YurineWhere on earth has she gone?到底跑去哪里了？

She comes to a halt on a familiar street.在熟悉的街道上，她停下了脚步。

YurineShe must have gone home after all.果然是回家了吧。

The power switch at home seems to have died for some reason. Even the light from outside can't make its way in.家里的电灯开关莫名其妙失灵了，连屋外的光线也照射不进来。

...She can hear muffled sobs. They seem to be coming from inside the cabinet in front of her. Yurine gingerly opens the cabinet door.……闷闷的呜咽声。 好像是从面前的橱柜里传来的。 轻轻地拉开了橱柜的门。

YurineJashin-chan?小邪神……？

Jashin-chan(Sobs)呜呜呜……

Jashin-chan is lying inside the cabinet, all curled up into a ball. It's easy to tell from the state of her tail that she's stress-induced gastritis again.小邪神瑟缩成一团，躺在橱柜里。 根据她尾巴的状态，很容易判断出她又犯了神经胃炎。

YurineWhat happened to you, Jashin-chan?你怎么了，小邪神？

Jashin-chanYurine...百合铃……

YurineI'm here.我在这里。

Jashin-chanMedusa... Minos...美杜莎…… 米诺斯……

YurineYou can't see me?你看不见我吗？

Jashin-chanWhere are you guys...你们在哪里啊……

Jashin-chan curls up even tighter, locking back her tears like a clam.小邪神将自己蜷缩起来，像蚌壳一样紧紧锁住自己的眼泪。

YurineI'm here, Jashin-chan.我在这里啊，小邪神。

Jashin-chanWhere are you...在哪里啊……

Jashin-chan vanishes from in front of her.小邪神从面前消失了。

YurineJashin-chan?小邪神？

YurineOh...啊……

Yurine rubs her tummy in a daze. The sharp pain that she has been feeling is gone.百合铃恍惚地摸了摸肚子，刚刚还尖锐清晰的疼痛感已经消失了。

YurineThis place is...这里……

AgentThis is the Griffin Base. You wiped out the attacking zombies and entered a state of...euphoria. Your friends said that you would soon return to normal.这里是格里芬基地，你刚刚清理完这里的丧尸，然后就陷入了狂欢状态。 你的朋友说你待会就会清醒。

YurineWhat about them?那她们？

AgentThey've gone on a tour of the base. Hang on, I'll contact the Commander.她们去参观基地了，稍等，我联系下指挥官。

...In the cafeteria larder.……食堂仓库。

MedusaOnce you put this on, you won't have to worry about being petrified by me, Commander!只要指挥官戴上这串手链就不会被我石化啦！

CommanderThank you, Medusa.谢谢你，美杜莎。

MinosWow— You've got so much food in store!哇——你们的食材储存这么丰富！

MedusaI bet Jashin-chan could whip up something really tasty with these ingredients...要是小邪神在的话一定能做出很好吃的料理吧……

MinosMedusa, you shouldn't think about her after all the horrible things she's done!美杜莎，那家伙做出这么恶劣的事，现在就不要想她了！

MedusaBut...可是……

PekolaAre these demons trying to tire Pekola to death? We've walked and walked and now we're walking some more... Maybe Pekola can find a place to rest now that they've stopped.这些恶魔想累死佩可拉吗？走了这么久还要继续走…… 趁她们停下来了，佩可拉也找个地方休息一下吧。

MinosJashin-chan must be having the time of her life!小邪神这家伙，现在肯定玩得正开心啦！

K5You've been talking about Jashin-chan the whole time. What is she like?刚刚你们一直在提起小邪神，她到底是什么样的人呢？

MinosShe's wicked and nasty! She's a bully and a coward who causes problems everywhere she goes.是个恶劣的家伙！欺软怕硬，总是到处惹麻烦啦。

MedusaNo, she isn't! Jashin-chan is just bad at expressing herself, she's actually very caring and kind...才不是呢！小邪神只是不擅长表达，她其实很温柔体贴的……

K5These answers are straight-up contradictory... I take it you guys aren't on good terms, then?真是截然相反的回答…… 那你们关系也不太好咯？

MinosThe three of us grew up together. We've known each other for thousands of years.我们三个从小一起长大，认识了几千年了。

MedusaWe're best friends!她们都是我最好的朋友！

K5S-several thousand years! Then you three must be very close... Oh! I get it now, so you're the sort of friends who get into fights and make a ruckus and argue non-stop whenever you meet, but you miss each other whenever you're apart, right?几、几千年！那应该关系很好才对…… 喔！我明白了，就是那种见面了打打闹闹、吵架不停，但是分开了就会互相想念的朋友吧？

Beep— The Commander's communicator goes off.滴滴——指挥官的通讯器响起。

CommanderWhat is it?怎么了？

AgentCommander, Yurine has woken up.指挥官，百合铃醒了。

CommanderUnderstood. We'll come over right away.明白，我们马上回来。

Minos...Huh? We're going back right now?……啊？现在就回去吗？

YurineI'm a little worried about Jashin-chan.我有点担心小邪神。

MedusaMe too, actually...其实我也是……

YurineAnd you must also be worried about your Dolls, Commander.指挥官也一定在担心自己的人形吧？

CommanderIndeed. We hope to get them back as soon as possible. Naturally, Griffin will always welcome you should you decide to visit again.没错，希望你们能尽快把她们找回来。 当然格里芬基地随时欢迎你们再来做客。

YurineThank you, Commander.谢谢你，指挥官。

Yurine smiles at the Commander and prepares to work her magic. She skilfully draws the magic circle and begins reciting an incantation... Once the incantation is finished, a door materializes inside the Commander's office. A blood-red light leaks out from beyond it.百合铃对指挥官笑了笑，然后开始进行施法准备。 她熟练地画出了阵法，开始念诵咒语…… 随着咒语的结束，指挥室凭空出现了一扇门。 而门后却透出了一片血红色的光。

MedusaHow could this be...怎么会这样……

MinosIs THAT Jinbocho?!这是神保町？！

CommanderWhat happened?发生什么事了吗？

YurineI can sense a powerful presence of monsters. It seems like Jinbocho is completely overrun with them.我感受到了强烈的魔物气息，就好像整个神保町都行走着魔物。

MedusaThat's impossible! Is Jashin-chan...不可能啊！那小邪神呢……

MinosI'm sure she's fine.她一定会没事的。

YurineDon't worry, Commander. We're heading back now to find your Dolls.指挥官，请别着急，我们现在回去，找到你的人形们。

CommanderJust the few of you?只靠你们几个吗？

K5Commander, please let me tag along! After all, the fact that CZ and the others ended up in Jinbocho was sort of my fault...指挥官，请让我也去帮忙吧！ CZ她们会去神保町，多少也有我的错……

AgentI don't think anyone else can handle Ouroboros, so I should go too.衔尾蛇这家伙别人应付不来，我也去吧。

CommanderI'll put a team together to go with you.我会组织一支小队跟你们一起去。

YurineThank you, Commander.谢谢你，指挥官。

Yurine takes the lead and steps through the portal that leads to another world.百合铃率先穿过了异世界的传送门。

Devil's Paradise 恶魔乐园

RecapAh, I'm back again! Business trips sure are tiring! In the previous episode, Yurine and company helped the Commander deal with the ELID threat, then they decided to return to Jinbocho. However, the Jinbocho they went back to was no longer the original Jinbocho— All the humans are in a deep slumber, monsters roam the streets, while Ouroboros and Jashin-chan are nowhere in sight. Faced with this unprecedented crisis, will Yurine and her friends be able to save their precious companions? Alright, that's enough out of me, I need to catch the next bus back. This is the last time I take a side job that requires me to travel so far! Ah, driver, wait for me! Driver!!!啊，我又回来了，出差真的好辛苦啊！ 上一集说到，在帮助指挥官解决ELID危机之后，百合铃一行决定回到神保町。 但这时的神保町已经不再是原来的神保町了—— 人类纷纷沉睡，魔物横行街头，衔尾蛇和小邪神不知所踪。 面对从未见过的大危机，百合铃一行能够救出重要的伙伴吗？ 不说了不说了，我又要赶下一班车回去了，我再也不接远距离出差的兼职了！ 欸，师傅，等等我啊！师傅！！！

...Jinbocho, in the park. Ouroboros slowly gets up from the ground. Her head feels dizzy, as though she's survived a big explosion.……神保町，公园。 衔尾蛇从地上慢慢爬起来，她感觉头晕目眩，像是经历了一场大爆炸。

Jashin-chanAhahahahaha—啊哈哈哈哈哈——

Jashin-chan stands at the top of the slide.小邪神踩在滑梯的顶端。

Jashin-chanI, Jashin-chan, am the queen of this world! Now I can be a carefree villain that does whatever she wants!我，小邪神，就是这个世界的王！ 现在，我可以为所欲为做一个逍遥的反派了！

Jashin-chanFirst off— Let's build a hotel.首先—— 先建立一个饭店吧。

OuroborosIs that something a villain would do?!这是反派会做的事？！

Jashin-chanWow, I'm using public land to build a hotel! How heinous! Not even the Pigeon Baron could do that!哇，占用公共地皮建立一个饭店诶！ 多么邪恶的事情！鸽子男爵都做不出来！

Jashin-chanAlso, I'm going to make Yurine my assistant, wahahahaha—而且，我还要让百合铃给我打下手，哇哈哈哈哈哈——

Jashin-chanOh, how evil I am!我真是太邪恶了！

Jashin-chanYou really are sneaky, Little Snake. You nag me on one hand, but you've built yourself a base.小蛇蛇真狡猾，一边说我，一边自己也建了个基地。

OuroborosHuh?哈啊？

Ouroboros turns around and finds that a Sangvis base has sprung up behind her at some point. Indeed, it is the very same base she once managed.衔尾蛇回头一看，身边不知在何时出现了一座铁血基地，正是自己曾经的分管基地。

Jashin-chanHehe, it proves you're pretty homesick yourself, Little Snake.哼哼，说明小蛇蛇也是个很恋家的人嘛。

OuroborosWhen did this...什么时候……

Ouroboros ignores Jashin-chan and enters the base that has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.没有理会小邪神，衔尾蛇走进了这座凭空出现的基地。

The interior is exactly like the base in her memories. Traces of her intense battle with Squad 404 remain on the walls. The wadded-up S.F. group photo lies quietly in the corner, and Ouroboros picks it up with conflicted feelings.内部的结构和自己记忆中的基地完全一致。 跟404小队激烈交战的痕迹还停留在墙壁上。 揉成一团的铁血合照也静静躺在墙角，衔尾蛇心情复杂地捡了起来。

Jashin-chanIs this the Griffin base?这里就是格里芬基地吗？

OuroborosNo, this was once...my place.不是，这里是我曾经的……地方。

Jashin-chanWhy are CZ and the others here?为什么CZ她们在这里啊？

CZ75, NZ75, and P90 are lying quietly in the corner of the base. Perhaps her restrictions, which ordained her to protect Griffin Dolls, had compelled her to unconsciously place them where she thought they would be the safest.CZ75、NZ75和P90正安静地躺在基地的角落。 也许是出于限制条款中保护格里芬人形安全的命令，衔尾蛇下意识把她们安放到了自己认为最安全的地方。

Ouroboros...I don't know.……我不清楚。

Jashin-chanIsn't there anyone else besides you in this base? It seems kinda lonely.你的基地除了你就没别人了吗？好寂寞哦。

OuroborosNo, there used to be others here, but they were all pretty annoying.不，之前有别人在的，不过都是些讨厌的家伙。

Agent(?)You're back, Ouroboros.你回来了，衔尾蛇。

Ouroboros... And you showed up right on time.…… 你出现的还挺及时。

Jashin-chanWow, is she a friend of yours?哇哦，是你的朋友吗？

Agent(?)You completed your mission very well. Elisa is very pleased with you.你这次任务完成得很出色，伊莱莎很满意。

OuroborosI know. You can go now.我知道了，你退下吧。

Agent(?)Thank you for your hard work. I've asked Hunter to help relieve your fatigue.辛苦了，我让猎手来帮你舒缓下疲劳吧。

OuroborosMm. Send Executioner over afterwards and have her do a Native American dance for me.嗯，再把刽子手叫来跳个印第安舞吧。

Agent(?)Understood.明白。

"Agent" elegantly takes a step back and vanishes into the darkness.“代理人”优雅地退下，消失在了黑暗中。

Jashin-chanWow— You're super cool, Little Snake!哇——小蛇蛇，你好威风啊！

OuroborosThis is only the beginning.这只是个开始而已。

Dreamer(?)I heard your mission went very well and you've earned Elisa's approval.听说你任务完成得很顺利，还得到了伊莱莎的认可。

OuroborosYes.嗯。

Dreamer(?)I look forward to your future performance, but I have other things to do now.我很期待你接下来的表现哦，不过，现在我还有别的事要忙。

Destroyer(?)Arf!汪！

Ouroboros...Just go.……你走吧。

Jashin-chanHahaha, this big doggy is so cute!哈哈哈，这个大狗好可爱！

Ouroboros walks down the darkened hallway.衔尾蛇走向了漆黑的走廊。

Jashin-chanWhere are you going?你去哪啊？

OuroborosThere's something I need to do.我有件事一定要完成。

Jashin-chanAren't you going to watch the Native American dance?不看印第安舞了吗？

OuroborosExecutioner does it whenever she gets drunk.反正刽子手每次喝醉了都会跳。

Jashin-chanThen I'll go with you.那我跟你一起去。

OuroborosNo, this is something I need to do myself.不行，这件事只能由我自己来完成。

Jashin-chanBut why?!为什么？！

Jashin-chanWhat should I do, then?!那我要怎么办！

Ouroboros looks around, then picks up the weapon CZ75 has dropped.衔尾蛇四处搜寻了一圈，从地上捡起了CZ75落下的武器。

OuroborosI suppose it's usable in a pinch...勉强还算能用……

Jashin-chanH-hey... Don't go! You're the only one I have left now!你、你……别走啊！ 我现在只剩下你了！

OuroborosDidn't you build a hotel for yourself? And isn't Yurine your minion too?你不是给自己造了个饭店吗？还说百合铃给你打下手？

Jashin-chanOh yeah...对啊……

OuroborosThen it seems we both have something we need to do, don't we?那看来，我们都有各自要做的事，不是吗？

Jashin-chanWell, of COURSE I have tons of things to do, it's not like I'm a miserable little maggot who doesn't have anyone to turn to besides you...我当然也有很多事要做啊，我才不是除了你就没有别的去处的可怜虫呢……

OuroborosGood. We'll meet again once we have settled our own affairs.那就好，等我们处理完各自的事情，再见面吧。

Ouroboros opens the door at the end of the hallway and walks into the darkness.衔尾蛇拉开了走廊尽头的门，走进了黑暗之中。

Jashin-chanBut I don't want to be alone...可是，我不想一个人……

With the help of the Dolls, Yurine and company have reached the park.在人形们的支援下，百合铃一行抵达了公园处。

K5Man, I'm beat. Is there no end to these enemies?好累啊，这些敌人怎么没完没了的？

MinosI've never seen this many monsters even in Hell...在魔界我都没见过这么多魔物……

MedusaIt looks like these monsters are made with magic. Once you defeat them, their bodies just disintegrate.这些魔物像是魔法创造出来的，一旦被击败，躯体就消散了。

AgentCommander, we've already eliminated the nearby enemies and arrived at the location given by Yurine.指挥官，我们已经清理掉了附近的敌人，抵达了百合铃说的目标地点。

YurineThis is the ground zero of the spell. The entire barrier was created from this location.这里是魔力的爆发点，整个结界是从这里开始建立的。

YurineNo matter how you slice it, only Jashin-chan could have done this.怎么想都只有小邪神能干出这种事。

K5Then where are they now?那她们现在在哪？

Agent stands silently at the gates of the Sangvis base that is completely out of place.代理人沉默地站在突兀的铁血基地门口。

K5Isn't this an S.F. base...这不是铁血的基地吗……

AgentYes. To be precise, it was Ouroboros' old lair.没错，还是衔尾蛇曾经的老巢。

YurineLet's go in and take a look, then.我们进去看看吧。

Upon entering the base, they pick up Griffin signals. They follow the signal traces to the sleeping Dolls. CZ75, NZ75, and P90 are lying side by side in serene slumber. Their hands are tightly linked - it is impossible to pry them apart.进入基地后，她们收到了格里芬的讯号。 循着讯号，她们找到了沉睡的人形。 CZ75、NZ75和P90静静地平躺着，她们的手紧紧相连，难以分开。

K5CZ! NZ! P90! What happened here?CZ！NZ！P90！到底发生什么了？

AgentThey've crashed. There's no point shouting at them. Let's just transport them back to base.已经宕机了，喊也没用，直接运回去吧。

CommanderOne of you return them to base for a checkup. The rest can keep searching for the others.先带回来检查吧，你们继续搜寻剩余人员。

K5I'll bring them back right now!我这就把她们送回来！

Agent notices that CZ75's missing weapon has been replaced by a black glove.代理人注意到CZ75手里的武器不见了，取而代之的是一只黑色的手套。

YurineCommander, I think they were too close to ground zero and were knocked out by the intense magical shockwave...指挥官，我想她们是距离爆发点太近，受到了强烈刺激暂时昏迷了……

AgentWhat about Ouroboros? There's no sign of her.衔尾蛇呢？这里没有她的痕迹。

MinosShe ought to be nearby. She was still with Jashin-chan when I was chasing her.应该也在这附近才对，我追小邪神的时候，她们还在一起行动。

AgentLeave this place to us, then.这里就交给我们吧。

K5But...可是……

AgentAfter all, this was once a base of ours, so we'll be fine.毕竟是曾经的基地，我们不会有问题的。

ExecutionerEnough talk, go find that Jashin-chan of yours.别啰嗦了，你们去找那个叫小邪神的家伙吧。

MinosMake sure you contact K5 with your tech if you run into any trouble!有困难的话，就用你们的科技联系K5啊！

CommanderAgent, take the S.F. squad and explore the base. Meanwhile, K5 can bring CZ and the others back, then go and help Yurine and the others.代理人领着铁血小队搜索基地，K5你把CZ她们送回来之后去帮百合铃她们吧。

K5Got it!明白！

The only people left in the Sangvis base are the few members of the S.F. squad. Agent takes out her tablet and begins searching for signals.空荡荡的基地中只剩下了铁血小队的几人。 代理人拿出平板，开始搜索讯号。

HunterI can't sense Ouroboros' presence, but I have the feeling that she's right here.我感觉不到衔尾蛇的气息，但是我觉得她就在这里。

ExecutionerI wonder what that creepy woman is up to now.真不知道这个阴森的女人又会搞出什么东西。

AgentShh.嘘。

The sound of high heels clacking against the ground echoes toward them from the depths of the hallway.走廊的深处，传来了高跟鞋踢踏地面的声音。

ExecutionerIsn't that—这不是——

A familiar woman emerges from the darkness before executing an elegant bow.一个熟悉的女人从黑暗中走来，优雅地行了个礼。

AgentIt seems Ouroboros has prepared quite a bit of entertainment for us.看来，衔尾蛇还给我们留了不少乐子。

Debt and Oath 债与誓言

...In the Factory of the Griffin base. CZ75, NZ75, and P90 have been safely returned to the base. Upon inspection, their bodies don't seem to be damaged and their neural clouds are stable.……格里芬基地，工厂。 CZ75、NZ75和P90被安全送回了基地，经过检查，素体没有损伤，心智状态稳定。

KalinaCommander, should we perform a more in-depth check?指挥官，还要做进一步的检查吗？

CZ75I'm fine, Commander.我没事的，指挥官。

NZ75Sorry we made you worry...抱歉，害你担心了……

P90Commander! Are we dreaming?指挥官！我们是在做梦吗？

CommanderI'm just glad that you're alright. Right, where has Ouroboros gone?没事就好，对了，衔尾蛇去哪里了？

CZ75Ouroboros...衔尾蛇……

CZ75What...are you doing?你们……在干什么？

CZ75 is thrown off by a sudden burst of force. By the time she has gathered her wits, Ouroboros and Jashin-chan are already standing in the middle of an eruption of red light. Their hands are tightly clasped, and rampant mana surges over the surface of the land. Sinister black shadows rise from within the torrent of mana and morph into vicious monsters...CZ75被突如其来的力量震开，回过神来却看见衔尾蛇和小邪神正身处红色光海的火山口。 两人双手紧握，暴走的魔力沿着地表肆意冲刷，不时有诡异的黑影从魔力中成形，化身为凶残的魔物……

CZ75Ouroboros! What are you doing?!衔尾蛇！你们在干什么？！

OuroborosMind your own business... Now go!别多管闲事……走啊！

Ouroboros' face looks incredibly strained. Red mana surging from Jashin-chan's hand writhes up Ouroboros' arm like bulging veins. There is a clear disparity in their respective power, and Jashin-chan's mana is overwhelming Ouroboros.衔尾蛇的脸色很难看，像暴起的血管一样，红色的魔力沿着小邪神的手爬上了衔尾蛇的手臂。 两人的力量显然并不对等，衔尾蛇已经快要支撑不住小邪神的魔力了。

CZ75Jashin-chan! Please stop already! Ouroboros can't take it!小邪神！ 快住手啊！衔尾蛇她承受不住的！

Jashin-chan remains unconscious and unresponsive. CZ75 jumps into the swell of mana. Soon, the mana starts crawling up her legs, as though she were wading through lava. CZ75's mind begins to melt and sink....小邪神昏沉着，没有回应。 CZ75跳进了魔力暴走的区域，很快，魔力沿着她的双腿攀上，仿佛行走于岩浆中，CZ75的意识迅速融化、下沉……

CZ75Ouroboros! You'll suffer backlash for using a power that doesn't belong to our world! You may never be able to go back to Griffin again!衔尾蛇！ 使用了不属于我们世界的力量，会遭到反噬的！ 你可能会再也回不去格里芬了啊！

OuroborosThere's something...that I need to do.我有……必须要做的事。

The blood-red mana is about to surmount Ouroboros' shoulder.猩红的魔力即将攀上衔尾蛇的肩膀。

CZ75Even if it means you'll end up stranded in another world?就算因此迷失在异世界也无所谓吗？

OuroborosExactly.没错。

NZ75CZ! We'll help too!CZ！我们也来帮忙！

OuroborosAre you all morons?! I told you to mind your own damn business!你们是智障人形吗？！都说了别多管闲事！

CZ75 puts down her weapon and takes Ouroboros' other hand. Through ten tightly-laced fingers, CZ75 helps alleviate part of the burden.CZ75放下武器，抓住了衔尾蛇的另一只手。 通过紧紧相扣的十指，CZ75替她分担了部分压力。

CZ75Right now, we're a team!我们现在是一个小队！

OuroborosAre you STILL pulling this crap at a time like this?!什么时候了还搞这一套？！

NZ75Those are the rules in Griffin! However many Dolls go out, that's how many that have to come back!格里芬的规定就是这样！出去几个人形，就要回来几个人形！

P90That's right! That's how it is!没错，就是这样！

NZ75 leads P90 to CZ75's side. Their hands are firmly linked too.NZ75带着P90来到了CZ75的身边，她们的手也紧紧相握。

CZ75We'll lend you our processing power, so make sure you do what you need to do. Then we'll all go home together.我们的算力也借给你，好好完成你必须要做的事。 然后，我们一起回去。

The scalding mana flows between their hands and strange, unfamiliar scenes begin to flash before CZ75's eyes...滚烫的魔力在紧握的双手之间流淌着，同时，CZ75的眼前开始明灭不定地闪烁起陌生的画面……

CZ75And I don't know what happened after that...然后我就什么也不知道了……

CommanderWhat?! So Ouroboros was working with Jashin-chan? No wonder this realm had an effect on Dolls when it was opening up... So she's using mana to physically manifest a neural cloud computational space...什么？！衔尾蛇协助了小邪神？ 难怪这个空间在展开时对人形也会生效…… 原来是使用魔力让心智空间具现化……

KalinaBut why would she do that?可是她们为什么要这么做？

CZ75Ouroboros said she had something she needed to do.衔尾蛇说她有必须要做的事。

CommanderAgent, do you have any ideas?代理人，你有什么头绪吗？

AgentI believe so. I'll go stop Ouroboros and bring her back. A reprimand will soon follow.我明白了。 我会去阻止衔尾蛇，并且把她带回来检讨的。

CommanderAgent?代理人？

AgentAs for exactly what it was that she needed to do, I'll let Ouroboros tell you herself.有关衔尾蛇说的“必须要做的事”，就留给她亲自告诉你吧。

Agent ends the call.代理人挂断了通讯。

...In an empty data simulation space. The ghost that has always been haunting Ouroboros stands at the very center, her trademark smile on her face.……空荡荡的数据模拟空间。 一直在衔尾蛇心智中徘徊的幽灵正站在中央，脸上挂着她招牌式的微笑。

JormungandrHi, Little Snake. Long time no see. ♪哟，小蛇蛇，好久不见♪

JormungandrHuh, that's strange. There's something different about you. Oh, I know, why are you armed with that weird axe? Looks kinda unwieldy.诶，奇怪，你好像哪里不太一样了？ 我知道了，你的武器怎么变成了这个奇奇怪怪的斧头？ 看上去手感就不太好。

Jormungandr paces around Ouroboros in a circle, staring her up and down with curiosity.耶梦加得好奇地围着衔尾蛇转了一圈。

JormungandrHey, did they beat your voice out of you?喂，你该不会是被揍哑了吧？

Ouroboros returns Jormungandr's gaze wordlessly. She now understands why she decided to help that stupid snake build her perfect world. It was never her intention to avoid returning to the Griffin base. All she wanted was this moment. A chance to face Jormungandr once more.衔尾蛇一言不发地盯着耶梦加得，她明白自己为什么会帮助那个臭蛇建立理想世界。 她根本不是想逃避回到格里芬基地。 她想要的，只是这一刻。 重新面对耶梦加得的机会。

OuroborosGet lost.滚。

JormungandrHahaha, it's a relief to see you this lively. I was actually worried about whether I could go all out fighting you if they had actually smacked you silly.哈哈哈……看见你还这么活蹦乱跳我就放心了。 人家刚刚还很担心，要是你真的被揍傻了，我还要不要尽全力跟你决斗呢？

OuroborosCut the crap. Let's do this.别废话了，直接动手吧。

Ouroboros initiates an attack without waiting for Jormungandr's reply...没等耶梦加得回应，衔尾蛇就率先冲了上去……

JormungandrSay, Little Snake. Is this world a simulated data space, or does it really exist?小蛇蛇，你说，这个世界究竟是数据空间模拟出来的，还是真实存在的呢？

Jormungandr picks up a rock from the ground and throws it forcefully into the distance.耶梦加得从地上捡起了一块石头，然后用力扔得远远的。

JormungandrNow, does this sim space have upgraded sensory feedback systems, or... Is this the real world? ... Why aren't you saying anything, Little Snake?是模拟空间升级了感官系统，还是…… 这里真的是现实世界呢？ …… 你怎么不说话啊，小蛇蛇？

Jormungandr looks down and grins at Ouroboros, who is pinned underneath her. She gives her an affectionate pat.耶梦加得笑着低下头去，拍了拍被自己压在身下的衔尾蛇。

JormungandrAh, sorry, I suppose it's hard to say anything when I'm sitting on your back. You know what I think? I'm guessing this is a dream of mine. I mean, Little Snake coming at me with an axe? That's entirely unrealistic.啊，抱歉，好像这样坐在你背上确实说不出来话呢。 不过，我想喔，这里应该是在我的梦里吧？ 毕竟，挥舞着斧头冲过来的小蛇蛇什么的，这简直一点不像现实嘛。

At the sight of the axe that is deeply embedded in the ground, Ouroboros silently curses Agent for the thousandth time for confiscating her floating cannons.望着深深嵌在地板上的斧头，衔尾蛇暗暗地攥紧了拳头，内心咒骂了千万遍收走自己浮游炮的代理人。

JormungandrHey. I'm actually dead, aren't I? I remember I lost that survival battle.喂，其实，我已经死了吧？ 我记得，我在那场竞赛中输掉了才对。

OuroborosYes, I killed you with my own hands.没错，我亲手干掉了你。

Jormungandr languidly shifts more weight onto Ouroboros' back.耶梦加得不作声色地在衔尾蛇的背上施加了一些重量。

JormungandrMy my, then why do I remember throwing the match for you, hm?啊呀，我怎么记得是我让了一大步呢？

Ouroboros(Groans)咕呃……

JormungandrIs that why you've resurrected me? So that you could kill me again with your own strength? To prove that you're worth something, however pathetic it might be?这就是你让我重现的理由吗？ 想要只依靠自己的力量干掉我？来证明自己可笑的价值？

OuroborosWhat the hell do you know?你懂什么。

JormungandrHahahahaha... Well, I have to hand it to you. I don't know how much time has passed, but you haven't changed at all, Little Snake.哈哈哈哈哈…… 不愧是你，虽然不知道过了多久，但小蛇蛇还真是一点没变呢。

OuroborosI've become stronger. I just lost my strength because of an accident. Otherwise you'd have been blasted into paste by now.我已经变强了，只是出了点意外被收走了力量罢了。 不然你现在早就被轰成渣渣了。

Jormungandr... You still don't understand at all, do you?…… 你还是什么都不懂。

OuroborosWhat?哈啊？

JormungandrIf—如果——

JormungandrIf I were to take your life right now, what would you do?如果，我现在就想取走你的命，你打算怎么办？

Jormungandr shifts her position. She is now kneeling on Ouroboros' back, her hands wrapped tightly around Ouroboros' neck.耶梦加得改变了姿势，她跪在衔尾蛇的背上，紧紧掐住了衔尾蛇的脖子。

JormungandrWould you cry and beg for mercy, or would you take your revenge in the next life?你会哭着向我求饶，还是干脆来世再报仇？

Ouroboros' vision slowly turns black...衔尾蛇的眼前渐渐发黑……

HunterWar is not chess! You're neglecting too many factors, Ouroboros! You will soon regret this!战争不是下棋，你忽略了太多问题，衔尾蛇！你很快就会后悔的！

ExecutionerThat's why Ouroboros is someone that does whatever she wants...所以说衔尾蛇那家伙，就是这么个为所欲为的家伙啊……

ArchitectWhat about you, Ouroboros? Do you like yourself?你呢，衔尾蛇？你喜欢你自己吗？

AgentSurvive by any means necessary. That IS your specialty, after all.不择手段地活下去吧，毕竟这可是你最擅长的东西了。

The voices in her memories gradually grow indistinct...记忆中的声音渐渐模糊起来……

AgentThen I'll give you a weapon to protect yourself, once again. Griffin's squads dug it out of your old lair. It can only be used once, so please make sure you use it when it counts.那就再送你一个保命武器吧，是格里芬小队从你的老巢带回来的。 只能使用一次，请在关键必要的时刻使用。

With great effort, Ouroboros takes out the wadded-up picture, and with her last breath she shouts at Jormungandr.衔尾蛇挣扎着掏出了揉成纸团的照片，用最后一口气对着耶梦加得大吼起来。

OuroborosVENOMOUS DESCENT!热——毒——坠——落——

JormungandrHeh?哈啊？

Nothing happens.什么也没有发生。

OuroborosAgent, you tricked me again!代理人，你又骗我！

Just before Ouroboros angrily throws the wad away, she notices the program written on the back of the picture.在衔尾蛇愤怒地扔开纸团的最后一秒，她看见了合照背后写下的程式。

JormungandrWhat kind of super move are you using? It's got one hell of a windup delay...你在发动什么大招吗？前摇时间有够长啊……

Jormungandr yawns impatiently, but before she can mime herself dramatically nodding-off, she is thrown off by the sudden surge of energy that emanated from Ouroboros.耶梦加得不耐烦地打了个哈欠，但没容她完整地瞌睡完，从衔尾蛇身上突如其来迸发的力量就将她弹开了。

JormungandrHahahahaha! I knew you wouldn't go down so easily! Magnificent, Little Snake! You're simply magnificent!哈哈哈哈哈！我就知道你不会这么容易被干掉的！ 太棒了，小蛇蛇，你真是太棒了！

Ouroboros rises to her feet, her former strength having now returned to her in full. She once again picks up the axe lodged in the ground.衔尾蛇从地上站起来，曾经拥有过的力量在此刻全部涌回身体。 她重新拿起嵌在地上的斧头。

OuroborosCome then, Jormungandr. Let's settle this once and for all.来吧，耶梦加得。 让我们决一胜负吧。

...On the other side of the park.……公园的另一边。

Jashin-chanWhy hasn't Little Snake come back yet...? I'm sick of playing pachinko...小蛇蛇怎么还不回来…… 我柏青哥都玩腻了……

Jashin-chan waves her hand and the pachinko machines, along with the sea of pachinko balls, vanish instantly.小邪神挥挥手，遍地的钢珠和柏青哥机器瞬间消失。

Jashin-chanThe gachapon machines are getting boring too...扭蛋机也索然无味……

Jashin-chan tosses away her special-edition Tsuchinoko gachapon and stares dejectedly into the distance.小邪神将手里的槌子蛇隐藏款扔开，双眼空洞地望向远处。

Jashin-chanDid something happen to Little Snake? If only someone else were here...小蛇蛇，该不会出什么事了吧？ 要是有其他人在就好了……

Jashin-chan's heart feels hollow and empty at the thought of the others.想到其他人，心脏像被开了一个巨大的洞。

Jashin-chan... They're gone... They're all gone... I'm the only one left... I'm so lonely...…… 她们都走了…… 都走了……只剩下我了…… 好孤单啊……

The stomach ache that has vanished returns with a vengeance.平息的胃痛又一次卷土重来……

Jashin-chanI don't want...to be alone...我不想……一个人……

Jashin-chan curls up on the ground in pain.小邪神痛苦地倒在地上蜷缩起来。

Jashin-chanIt hurts...好痛苦……

A pair of black shoes appear within the field of her blurred vision.模糊的视线范围内，出现了一双黑色的鞋。

???What's the matter, Jashin-chan?小邪神，你怎么了？

Jashin-chanAh...啊……

With great effort, Jashin-chan raises her head and sees a familiar person.艰难地抬起头，小邪神看见了一个熟悉的人。

Yurine(?)What's with that look of surprise? Is there something on my face?怎么一脸惊讶地看着我？我的脸上有什么东西吗？

"Yurine" smiles and extends a hand to Jashin-chan...“百合铃”微笑着向小邪神伸出手……

JormungandrHehe, so it's over at last...哼哼，结束了啊……

OuroborosYes, it's over.嗯，结束了。

Jormungandr grins as she peered at the wound on her waist. Her data-form has begun to fade away, starting from the area around the wound.耶梦加得笑嘻嘻地看向腰上的创口。 自己的数据正在以伤口为圆心，逐渐消散……

JormungandrHave you found your answer?那你找到答案了吗？

OuroborosI knew it the moment I saw your annoying face.见到你这张讨厌的脸的时候，我就知道了。

JormungandrSo, what is it...?那答案是什么……

Jormungandr lightly collapses on Ouroboros' shoulder.耶梦加得轻飘飘地倒向了衔尾蛇的肩膀。

OuroborosIt doesn't matter anymore.不重要了。

JormungandrWhat?什么？

OuroborosIt doesn't matter whether you win or lose. What matters is WHY you win, or why you lose.不管是赢，还是输，都不重要。 重要的是，为了什么而去赢，为了什么而去输。

OuroborosYou lost to me back then so that I would live on for your sake. This time, I've beaten you to let you know that I haven't disappointed you. Now we're square.你上次输给我，是为了让我连着你的份好好活下去。 我这次赢了你，是为了让你知道，我没有让你失望。 这样，我就再也不欠你了。

JormungandrHahahahaha... Good, Little Snake, that's good...哈哈哈哈哈…… 好啊，小蛇蛇，这样就好……

Jormungandr's fading form is now almost translucent.耶梦加得的身体消散得几乎透明。

OuroborosGoodbye, Jormungandr.再见了，耶梦加得。

JormungandrYeah, I'll be off now. Don't forget about me, Little Snake.嗯，我走了。 可别忘记我啊，小蛇蛇。

The weight on her shoulders vanishes.抵在肩膀的重量消失了。

OuroborosYeah.好。

Jormungandr is gone, as though she had never been there in the first place.耶梦加得离开了，就好像她从来没有来过。

Ouroboros walks shakily back to the Sangvis base.衔尾蛇踉踉跄跄地回到了基地。

Ouroboros...I'm back.……我回来了。

AgentYou're back, Ouroboros.你回来了，衔尾蛇。

OuroborosThis mission of mine...has reached its successful conclusion.我这次任务……也圆满完成了……

AgentYes, I know. You performed admirably.嗯，我知道，你完成得很漂亮。

OuroborosThen what are you standing around for? Didn't you say...那你还愣着干什么……刚刚不是说……

OuroborosYou were going to have Hunter give me a massage...?要让猎手来给我按摩……

AgentVery well.好的。

Agent smiles and claps her hands. Hunter walks up to Ouroboros and helps her up from the ground and onto a chair.代理人面带微笑，拍了拍手。 猎手走向衔尾蛇，将她从地上扶起，放到了椅子上。

HunterDoes my massage please you?我的按摩力道还合适吗？

Ouroboros...It really sucks.……捏得真烂。

Hunter... How about this, then?…… 这样呢？

OuroborosBetter, if just barely.勉强凑合吧。

AgentDo you have any further instructions?你还有什么吩咐吗？

OuroborosWhere's Executioner? Tell her to do a Native American dance for me.刽子手呢？叫她出来跳印第安舞。

AgentShe's getting ready for it.她已经在准备了。

OuroborosBut before that...那在这之前……

OuroborosI'd like my reward.先把给我的奖励发放了吧。

AgentAlright.好啊。

Agent smiles and takes a seat opposite Ouroboros. Then, she places a crisp, brand new photo on the table.代理人微笑着坐在衔尾蛇的对面，然后将一张平整崭新的照片放在了两人之间的桌上。

AgentThis is your reward.这个，就是你的奖励。

OuroborosYou... You're not...你…… 你不是……

While everyone else wore smile in the photo, Ouroboros looked out of place with her annoyed expression.照片上的衔尾蛇在一片笑容中格格不入，满脸写着不耐烦。

AgentWelcome home, Ouroboros.欢迎回家，衔尾蛇。

OuroborosYou...你……

The critically damaged Ouroboros finally passes out, unable to hold on any longer.重创的衔尾蛇终于支撑不住，昏迷过去。

Agent... Well, what are you waiting for? Do it. She's so badly broken we might as well just take a few bits each and toss her into the Factory.…… 还愣着干什么？动手啊。 都破成这样了，每人拆几块带回去扔工厂吧。

HunterFind fault with my massage skills, will you?还敢嫌弃我按摩水平不行？

Hunter smacks the unconscious Ouroboros on the back of her head.猎手一巴掌打在了不省人事的衔尾蛇的后脑勺上。

ExecutionerYou won't even give me a drink and you expect me to do that dance for you?酒都不给喝，还想看我跳印第安舞？

Executioner also smacks the unconscious Ouroboros on the back of her head.刽子手一巴掌打在了不省人事的衔尾蛇的后脑勺上。

AgentRight, that's enough. Let's hurry and wrap this up.差不多得了，赶快收工回去了。

ExecutionerYou're still holding onto that weapon for dear life even though you're practically in pieces... Say, Agent. What if she chops me up now? Can I claim workman's comp for it? Do I get a vacation?都碎成这样了还死死抓着武器…… 喂，代理人，她要是现在砍我怎么算？能算工伤吗？给放假吗？

Agent gazes thoughtfully at the axe Ouroboros absolutely refuses to release, then she rolls her eyes at Executioner.代理人饶有兴味地看着衔尾蛇手里紧握不放的斧头，然后朝着刽子手翻了个白眼。

AgentIt just means you're unlucky.算你倒霉。

...Meanwhile, on the other side of the park.……与此同时，公园的另一边。

K5...Are you really sure you don't need help?……你们真的不需要帮忙吗？

AgentNo need for that. We've already picked up Ouroboros' trail and we're preparing to recover her. Go after your objective.没必要，我们已经找到衔尾蛇的踪迹，正在准备回收。 你们去找你们的目标吧。

Agent ends the call.代理人挂断了通讯。

YurineEveryone has problems that they need to sort out themselves. Let them take care of it.我们都有只有自己才能解决的问题。 让她们去面对吧。

K5Much as I would like to help, sticking my nose into S.F.'s business is a tricky affair... I'm sure they'll be fine!虽然我也很想去帮忙啦，但是铁血的内部问题确实不方便插手…… 我相信她们没问题的！

MinosYeah, let's go look for Jashin-chan.嗯，我们去找到小邪神。

MedusaLook, over there!你们看那里！

Medusa points into the distance. A building juts out amidst the red swirls of mana, yet it shows no signs of being contaminated by it.美杜莎指向了远方，一栋从未见过的建筑突兀地立于红色的魔力气息中间，却不被侵染分毫。

YurineA place free of mana... That might be a weakness in this barrier. Help me hold off the monsters while I take a look.没有魔力气息的地方…… 那里可能是这个结界的弱点，我去那边看看，你们帮我拖住魔物。

MinosYurine, I'll go with—百合铃，我跟你——

YurineI'll be fine. You protect our friends from Griffin with Medusa.我没问题，你和美杜莎保护好格里芬的朋友。

In the blink of an eye, Yurine is gone.几乎是眨眼间，百合铃就消失在了眼前。

MedusaYurine!百合铃！

K5Everyone has problems that they need to sort out themselves, huh...我们都有只有自己才能解决的问题吗……

The One Who Knocks · Stage 9-7 叩门者 · 9-7

YurineI don't think any more customers will be coming today.我看今天是不会有客人再上门啦。

Jashin-chanYeah, it's almost night-time.是哦，都快晚上了。

YurineJashin-chan. ♪小邪神♪

Jashin-chanWhat is it?怎么了？

YurineMake me some bento. I've been working all day and didn't get to have a proper meal.帮我做份便当吧。 今天忙碌了一天，都没空好好吃饭呢。

Jashin-chanSure, what do you want?好啊，你想吃什么？

YurineHmm... A double-cooked pork bento, then.嗯……回锅肉便当吧。

Jashin-chanGot it.我知道了。

The One Who Knocks · Stage 9-8 叩门者 · 9-8

YurineI have to hand it to you, Jashin-chan. You bought the cheapest pork belly but you still made it taste so good.不愧是小邪神呢，明明买的是最廉价的猪五花，也能做得这么好吃。

Jashin-chanThis is my specialty!这可是我的拿手菜！

YurineYou should have some too.你也一起吃呀。

Jashin-chanSure, I'll see how today's pork belly turned out.好啊，我来尝尝今天的猪五花做得怎么样。

It is a silent night, and the only sound in the hotel is Yurine's quiet chewing. Another ordinary day is about to come to an end, just as usual. Jashin-chan picks up her chopsticks and reaches for the double-cooked pork, but the chopsticks tremble uncontrollably in her hands.静谧的夜晚，饭店里只有百合铃轻轻咀嚼的声音。 和往常一样，平凡普通的一天即将结束。 小邪神拿起筷子伸向回锅肉，筷子却兀自抖个不停。

Jashin-chanQuit shaking! What's wrong?别抖啊！怎么回事？

This day has gone by just like any other, yet Jashin-chan feels an inexplicable sense of dread deep down in the very core of her being. But she doesn't know what she's so afraid of.明明是和过去的每一天都相差无几的日子，小邪神却感受到发自内心的恐慌。 但她不明白，自己在恐慌什么。

YurineWhat's wrong, Jashin-chan?小邪神，你怎么了？

Jashin-chanIt's nothing... I'll make something else! How about something roasted?没事……我再做点菜吧！ 做点烧烤怎么样？

YurineSure. I like everything you make, Jashin-chan. ♪好啊，小邪神做的我都爱吃♪

YurineSo why aren't you even touching your chopsticks after making such a sumptuous spread?做了这么丰盛的菜肴，你怎么一筷子都不动啊？

YurineIs something on your mind?在想什么事吗？

Jashin-chanAh, no!啊，没有！

I feel like I've forgotten something important... But what is it? What did I forget?有什么重要的事情被忘记了…… 到底是什么？ 我到底忘记了什么？

YurineLook at you, you ended up spilling broth all over the table while trying to pick up a piece of vegetable. Honestly, I guess I should feed you after all. Here, say ahhh—你看你，夹个菜也要漏一桌子都是。 真是的，果然还是让我来喂你吧。 来，张嘴——

Jashin-chanAhhhh—啊——

Familiar footsteps sound from outside, but the newly-hired waiter doesn't say anything.门外响起了熟悉的脚步声，但新雇来的侍者却没有发出声音。

YurineOh my, we have a customer.啊呀，有谁来了。

I wonder who it is... Why do I feel so calm inside... Even though I can't even remember who it is... The footsteps draw closer and closer.是谁来了…… 为什么我的内心如此平静…… 明明我都想不起那个人是谁了…… 脚步声逐渐逼近。

Bang— With a mighty kick, the doors to the hotel fly right of their hinges. And beyond the door frame stands a familiar woman...砰—— 饭店的大门被踹飞了。 门后出现的是那个熟悉的女人……

Devil in Destitute 落魄魔王

RecapHello, everyone! I'm everyone's favorite Tangan-chan, and I'm finally back! In the previous episode, Ouroboros and Jashin-chan caused absolute mayhem, but they were eventually subdued, and Jinbocho returned to its original state. Next up is, that's right, the very last episode of "Jashin-chan's Frontline"! We're finally at the season finale, and I'm surprised that I'm kind of missing this job that I used to hate. I'm sure everyone will miss me too, right? Right?! If possible, I hope you'll give me a 5-star review, it does affect my performance appraisals, after all... Now then, onto our final episode—大家好！我是人见人爱的小单眼！我终于赶回来了！ 上一集说到，制造混乱的衔尾蛇和小邪神都得到了制裁，神保町恢复了原样。 接下来，没错，正是这一季《小邪神前线》的最后一集！ 终于到了最终话了呢，原本讨厌的工作竟然让我也不舍了起来。 大家也一定很舍不得我吧！对吧！ 如果可以的话，麻烦给人家一个五星好评嘛，毕竟也关系着人家的绩效来着…… 那么，就请大家收看最终话——

...In the Commander's office.……指挥室。

Ouroboros...And that's what happened.……事情就是这样。

CommanderRight, it matches with the report.嗯，跟报告书上的内容差不多。

AgentPlease decide the nature of her punishment, Commander. It is true that we are primarily responsible for this incident and there are no excuses to be made for it.请指挥官决定惩罚的内容吧。 这件事确实应该是我们负主要的责任，没有什么好辩解的。

CommanderIf I gave you another chance, would you do this again?如果再给你一次机会，你还会这么做吗？

OuroborosYes, but I'd do it better.会，不过会做得更完美。

Agent smacks Ouroboros upside the head and bows in apology once more.代理人一巴掌拍在衔尾蛇的后脑勺上，然后再次鞠躬道歉。

AgentI apologize, Commander. Please give Ouroboros another chance. She's spent too long in the data storage vault and does not know how to speak like an intelligent lifeform.抱歉，指挥官，请再给衔尾蛇一次机会。 她在数据库里待了太久，已经忘记怎么说人话了。

CommanderIt's fine. Just like CZ said, it'll take us a long time to completely get used to working with each other. At the very least, we've taken a step in the right direction now, haven't we?没关系的，就像CZ说的，我们都还有很长的一段磨合期。 起码，我们现在都向着对方迈出了一步，不是吗？

CommanderThey're still performing an in-depth diagnostic on CZ and the others in the Factory. And as it turns out, Yurine invited us to lunch. Let's go eat with them.CZ她们还在工厂做进一步的检查，倒是百合铃发来了午饭的邀请。 我们一起去吃吧。

...At Yurine's apartment.……百合铃的公寓。

Yurine...You don't really think you turned the whole of Jinbocho into Hell, did you?……你不会真的以为你把整个神保町变成了魔界吧？

Jashin-chanHuh? I told you already, didn't I? How else could I have summoned you?!哈啊？我不是跟你说了，我是怎么使唤你的吗？！

YurinePfhahahaha...噗哈哈哈哈哈……

Jashin-chanWhat are YOU laughing about?!你在笑什么啊？！

YurineActually, you just made a complete replica of Jinbocho, generated a branch world, and dragged our Griffin friends into it. The humans you tyrannized in there were all made from magic.其实你只是完全复制了神保町，并建立了一个世界分支，然后把格里芬的人形朋友们也拖了进去而已。 你在里面教训的人类都是你用魔力变出来的。

Jashin-chanWhat the hell does that mean?!什么意思啊？！

MinosIt means it was pretty much just a dream, right?差不多相当于做了个梦吧？

Jashin-chanWhat kind of lame Demon Overlord was that?!!!这算哪门子反派魔王啊！！！

MedusaJashin-chan...小邪神……

Jashin-chan(Sobs) Only you care about me, Medusa...呜呜……美杜莎，只有你关心我……

MedusaThe meat's about to get burned...肉要烤糊啦……

MinosI don't think you've cooked that pork belly enough.你刚刚烤的五花肉感觉火候还不太够。

Jashin-chanDon't push it!你不要得寸进尺啊！

YurineJashin-chan.小邪神。

Jashin-chanFine, I'll heat it up a little more!我这就再热一热！

Everyone gathers around the table and excitedly feasts on the yakiniku.大家一起围坐在桌边，热闹地吃着烤肉。

CommanderAren't you going to let Jashin-chan have some?真的不叫小邪神来吃一点吗？

YurineDon't worry about it. Besides, it's her fault for messing up so badly and dragging our Griffin friends into this debacle.没关系的，谁让她犯了那么大的错，还连累了格里芬的朋友。

OuroborosStupid snake.该死的臭蛇。

AgentIs the tea ready? We're all waiting for it.茶热好了吗？我们都在等着。

OuroborosDamn Griffin, damn S.F., a pox on all of you!该死的格里芬，该死的铁血，我诅咒你们！

Ouroboros has been serving tea non-stop while Jashin-chan is roasting the meat.在小邪神烤肉的时候，衔尾蛇也在一刻不停地端茶倒水。

Jashin-chanThe beef diaphragm's done, who else wants it?横膈膜烤好了，还有谁要吗？

OuroborosHere, have some tea.来，请喝茶。

MedusaJashin-chan, is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll save some for you.小邪神，你有什么想吃的吗？ 我帮你留一点。

Jashin-chanI-I'd like to have—我、我想吃——

YurineLeave her be, Medusa.别管她，美杜莎。

MedusaOkie...喔……

CommanderMedusa, could you help me get some beef?美杜莎，能帮我夹点牛肉吗？

MedusaSure thing, here—好的，来——

Jashin-chan...Dammit, dammit, dammit!……可恶可恶可恶！

Jashin-chan's wrath boils over as she sees the A5-grade wagyu land in the Commander's bowl. With speed that the eye can't follow, she devours all the beef in the pot.眼睁睁看着A5和牛落入指挥官的碗里，小邪神愤怒掀桌。 并以肉眼无法捕捉的速度，吃光了锅中所有的牛肉。

MinosJashin-chan!小邪神！

YurineLooks like you haven't been punished enough.看来惩罚还不太够啊。

Jashin-chan nervously gulps down the beef. Yurine picks up her cleaver and looms over Jashin-chan expressionlessly...小邪神紧张地咽下了牛肉。 百合铃提起菜刀，面无表情地走向了小邪神……

Jashin-chanStay-stay away from me! Abbbaahhhhhh—你、你别过来！ 啊啊啊啊啊啊——

AgentHere, have a bite, Ouroboros.衔尾蛇，来吃点吧。

Ouroboros‘Kay.嗯。

Amidst Jashin-chan's pitiful screams, Agent feeds Ouroboros with a pair of chopsticks.在小邪神的惨叫声中，代理人夹起菜喂给衔尾蛇。

AgentNow that I've fed you, you need to get full marks in the exam next week.吃了我喂的菜，下周的测试成绩得考满分才行。

Ouroboros... (Spits)…… 呸。

MedusaWhy are you guys fighting too? Stop fighting, stop fighting...你们怎么也打起来了？ 别打了啊，别打了……

MinosDon't rub beef into people's faces! It's really expensive!别用牛肉糊脸啊！很贵的！

As the melee unfolds, the Commander happily roasts more meat and eats with great gusto.在一片混战中，只有指挥官快乐地烤着牛肉，有滋有味地吃着。

CommanderWe ought to have yakiniku to start off a lovely day like this!美好的一天就该用烤肉开始！

JASHIN-CHAN COLLAB - END小邪神联动END.

...In the cafeteria larder of the Griffin base. Pekola awakens from her nap, but Minos and Medusa are nowhere to be seen.……格里芬基地，食堂仓库。 佩可拉从午睡中醒来，米诺斯和美杜莎已经不见踪影。

QSB-91... What should we do with her, Miss Gr G36?…… G36姐，这可咋办啊？

Gr G36Who are you?你是谁？

PekolaUrgh... Demons! Stay away from me!呜呜……恶魔！不要过来啊！

Gr G36Demons?恶魔？

PekolaPekola may have lost her angel's halo, but Pekola will never abandon her pride!虽然佩可拉失去了天使之环，但佩可拉绝不会放弃尊严的！

Gr G36Angel's halo?天使之环？

QSB-91Is your name Pekola?你叫佩可拉？

PekolaThat's right, I'm Pekola!没错，我就是佩可拉！

Gr G36Fix her something to eat, Multi.给她弄点吃的吧，小万。

Gr G36Maybe she's so hungry she can't think straight.可能是饿得神志不清了。

QSB-91Sure thing!好咧！

Multi rushes into the kitchen and quickly produces a plate of egg fried rice.小万冲向厨房，迅速端出了一碗蛋炒饭。

QSB-91Here, it's for you!给你吃！

The egg fried rice emits a tempting aroma, and Pekola has to gulp down her drool.蛋炒饭散发出了诱人的香气，佩可拉咽了咽唾沫。

PekolaIt smells so nice...好香……

PekolaNonono, Pekola will not be tempted by devilish gifts! Stay strong, Pekola!佩可拉是不会接受恶魔的馈赠的！ 佩可拉，铁骨铮铮！

(Rumble)— The loud rumbling of her tummy echoes through the entire larder.咕—— 洪亮的肠道鸣音响彻整个仓库。

Gr G36... Perhaps egg fried rice isn't to our guest's taste. Make her something else, Multi.…… 可能是蛋炒饭不合这位客人的胃口，小万，你去换个菜式。

QSB-91Oh, sure!诶，好的！

Multi runs back into the kitchen and re-emerges with a bowl of beef curry rice.小万又一次狂奔向厨房，并端出了一碗咖喱牛腩饭。

QSB-91It's for you!给你吃！

PekolaP-Pekola...佩、佩可拉……

Gr G36Don't be so hard on yourself. Whatever mission you might have, you can only carry on on a full belly, right?别勉强自己了。 不管你有什么样的使命，都要吃饱饭才能继续，不是吗？

In Pekola's eyes, she sees pure white angelic wings on Gr G36 and Multi.佩可拉的瞳孔中映现出了G36和小万挥着洁白翅膀的身影。

PekolaOh Father, I must have returned to Heaven...我的天父大人啊，我一定是回到了天国吧……

JASHIN-CHAN COLLAB - TRUE END真·小邪神联动END.

The Journey Home 归家之途

...At the entrance to the Jashin-chan Hotel.……小邪神饭店门口。

Yurine...The Jashin-chan Hotel?……小邪神饭店？

Jashin-chanWhat do you think? What do you think? My new dish tastes great, doesn't it?怎么样？怎么样？这一次的创新料理味道还不错吧？

YurineYes! It's delicious.嗯！很美味。

Jashin-chanHehe, I knew it! ♪嘿嘿♪我就知道！

Jashin-chan hums happily to herself as she scrubs the bowls.小邪神哼着歌快乐地刷起了碗。

YurineJashin-chan, since your cooking skills are so good, have you considered opening a restaurant?小邪神，你的厨艺这么好，没有想过开一家餐馆吗？

Jashin-chanA restaurant? Oh, good idea. That sounds like a great way to make money.餐馆？不错诶，听上去很赚钱的样子。

Jashin-chanHeh, if I opened a restaurant, I'd probably make way more than Yusa and Kouji!哼，我要是真的开餐馆的话，收入肯定甩游佐浩二几条街！

Yurine... It might even become a local attraction of Jinbocho.…… 说不定还能成为神保町特产。

Jashin-chanIsn't that great?! Still, I'd rather not bother.真棒诶！ 不过还是算了吧。

YurineHuh? Why is that?诶，为什么？

Jashin-chanI only want to cook when I feel like it. I can't be so reckless and selfish when I open a restaurant, right?我只想在我想做饭的时候做饭啊。 开餐馆的话，就不能这么任性了吧？

YurineIn other words, you only want to cook for the people you want to cook for, is that right?换句话说，也就是小邪神只想给自己想做饭的人做饭咯？

Jashin-chanW-what nonsense are you talking about?!胡、胡说什么啊？！

Jashin-chanDon't flatter yourself!不要乱给自己脸上贴金喔！

Yurine smiles as she watches Jashin-chan turning away all flustered, and sips a mouthful of soup.看着小邪神气急败坏的背影，百合铃微笑着抿了一口汤。

Yurine elegantly lifts her skirt and mounts the steps to the hotel.百合铃优雅地拎起裙摆踏上饭店前的台阶。

There, she cuts down the demon waiter who is about to take her order.然后一刀劈掉了正准备开口询问的魔物侍者。

Yurine... I'm here, Jashin-chan.…… 小邪神，我来了。

Yurine forcefully kicks down the doors to the hotel...百合铃一脚踹飞了饭店大门……

It seems everyone's on break, and there are no guests inside. Jashin-chan is sitting at one of the tables with her cheeks in her hands and a blissful look on her face, about to eat the food that Yurine is personally feeding her. Wait a minute, Yurine?似乎是休息的时间，饭店内没什么客人。 小邪神坐在其中一张桌边，正双手捧脸，一脸幸福地准备吃下百合铃喂来的食物。 等等，百合铃？

YurineExplain this, Jashin-chan.小邪神，给我解释一下。

Jashin-chanYu-Yurine! TWO Yurines!百、百合铃！两个百合铃！

Yurine(?)What's the matter, Jashin-chan? The soup's gotten all over you.小邪神，你怎么了？ 汤汁都滴到身上啦。

"Yurine" takes a napkin and gently wipes off the soup that has spilled onto Jashin-chan's body.“百合铃”温柔地用手帕擦拭掉小邪神身上的汤汁。

Yurine(?)Ah, we have a guest. I'm sorry, but we're closed.呀，有客人来啦。 很抱歉喔，我们现在正在休息呢。

Yurine... Who are you?…… 你是谁？

Yurine(?)Forgive me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yurine, Jashin-chan's housemate, as well as her partner in managing this hotel.忘记自我介绍啦，我是百合铃，小邪神的室友，以及这家饭店的合伙人喔。

YurineOh? You move pretty fast, Jashin-chan. You've already set up a hotel and even found a partner too.哦？小邪神你速度还挺快，这么快就经营起饭店，还找好合伙人了。

Jashin-chanYu-Yurine... I... Who's the real one and who's the fake?百、百合铃……我……你们谁是真的谁是假的啊？

Jashin-chanI don't... I don't really know either...我也……我也不太清楚是怎么回事……

Yurine(?)Don't be scared, Jashin-chan. I'll protect you.别害怕，小邪神，我会保护你的。

YurineLooks like I won't need to waste words, then. Let's do this.看来也不必废话了，直接动手吧。

Yurine brandishes her weapon. Unwilling to back down, "Yurine" rises to the occasion.百合铃亮出了自己的武器，“百合铃”也不甘示弱地迎了上来。

Yurine(?)Why bother? Jashin-chan doesn't need you anymore. I'm not making this up. She said so herself.何必呢？小邪神已经不需要你了。 这可不是我挑拨离间，是她自己说的。

Yurine(?)Surely you know how much Jashin-chan wants you to disappear. Why are you wasting your effort on these pointless struggles when she hates you so much?你心里也清楚吧，小邪神有多么想要你消失…… 你都这么讨人厌了，干嘛还要在这里徒劳挣扎？

YurineI don't need you to spew rubbish about my life.我的生活不需要你来废话。

Yurine makes the first move and strikes at "Yurine". "Yurine" seems to have anticipated this. Not only does she deftly avoid it, but she immediately responds with an attack of her own.百合铃先发制人，朝着“百合铃”发动了袭击。 “百合铃”像是早已预料到，不仅游刃有余地躲开，还能立刻展开反击。

Yurine(?)Hahahahaha! I am you, and you are me.哈哈哈哈哈哈！ 我就是你，你就是我。

Yurine(?)Nobody knows your moves better than I do. I can tell exactly what you're planning from a single twitch of your eyelid.你的每一个动作我都无比熟悉…… 就连你动动眼皮，我都知道你想干什么。

Yurine looks at Jashin-chan, who's hiding behind the counter. She timidly watches the two Yurines fight, at a loss for what to do. "Yurine" forces Yurine away.百合铃看向躲在柜台背后的小邪神，她瑟缩地看着两个百合铃决斗，不知所措。 “百合铃”将百合铃逼开。

Yurine(?)You want to play with her feelings? Too little, too late. Who's the one who keeps disciplining Jashin-chan? You should be like me. Spoiling her, letting her mess up over and over again... Until everyone else deserts her, leaving only me by her side.想打感情牌吗？真是太迟了…… 谁让你平常总是教训小邪神的？ 就应该像我这样，溺爱她，让她不断地犯错…… 直到身边所有人都远离她，只剩下我在她身边。

YurineYou're only hurting her.你这是在害她。

Yurine(?)Does it matter? It's fine as long as she stays by my side.这不重要♪ 只要能把她留在我身边就行。

YurineIt's not strange that you'd have such laughable, childish notions considering you're nothing more than an illusion who needs to leech off its host to survive.毕竟是只有依附宿主才能存活的幻影，有这样幼稚可笑的想法也不奇怪。

Yurine(?)Don't you want to stay by Jashin-chan's side forever?难道你不想永远地留在小邪神身边？

YurineThat's impossible. I will leave someday, and Jashin-chan will have to live on without me.不可能的。 总有一天，我会离开，而小邪神还要继续生活下去。

Yurine(?)Hm?嗯？

YurineSo I must ensure that Jashin-chan can live well even when I'm gone.所以，我会确保小邪神在没有我之后，依然能好好地活下去。

Yurine(?)Hahahahaha! Looks like that's where we differ. Unfortunately, my desire has given me even greater power!哈哈哈哈哈哈！ 看来这就是我们的不同之处了。 可惜的是，我的欲望给了我更强的力量！

"Yurine" summons up a massive wave with a spell, which crashes into Yurine.“百合铃”用魔法凝聚起巨大的海浪撞向百合铃。

There are few places to hide in the cramped hotel, and Yurine is slammed into a wall.狭小的饭店没有太多躲藏地方，百合铃被砸向了墙壁。

Jashin-chanYurine!!!百合铃！！！

Yurine(?)Don't be scared, it'll be over soon. I'll fix up this place and it will be as though nothing had happened before... And then we'll live together happily ever after...别害怕，很快就会结束了。 我会把这一切整理好的，就像什么都没发生一样…… 然后我们会一直幸福快乐地生活下去……

Jashin-chanYurine...百合铃……

Jashin-chan emerges from behind the counter and watches the two Yurines anxiously. "Yurine" slowly approaches Yurine...小邪神从藏身的柜台后走出，担忧地望向两个百合铃。 “百合铃”慢慢逼近百合铃……

Jashin-chanWhat...What should I do?!我……我该怎么办啊？！

Jashin-chan feels her tail knock into something. Looking down, she sees the bag CZ75 left behind, the one that contains "Grimoire Volume II".小邪神感觉腿下被什么东西硌到。 低头一看，是CZ75当时留下的包，里面装着《魔导书下卷》。

Jashin-chanHold it! Hold it right there, both of you!等一下！都给我住手！

Yurine(?)What is it?怎么了？

Jashin-chanI know how to prove who's real and who's fake.我知道如何证明你们谁真谁假了。

Jashin-chan holds up the book.小邪神高举起了《魔导书下卷》。

Jashin-chanOnly the real Yurine can use the return spell here to send me back to Hell.只有真正的百合铃才能使用这上面记载的归还咒把我送回魔界。

Yurine(?)Are you homesick, Jashin-chan? If that's what you want, then I'll do my best to make your wish come true.小邪神，是想家了吗？ 只要是你的愿望，我都会努力帮你实现喔。

YurineThat's impossible.不可能的。

Jashin-chanWhat did you say?你说什么？

YurineI'm saying that "Grimoire Volume II" doesn't actually contain the return spell. If you don't believe me, go ahead and flip to the last page.我说，《魔导书下卷》里面根本没有记载着归还咒。 不信的话，你就翻到最后一页。

Jashin-chan... "The return spell is—" "Extremely complex, and would not fully fit in this volume. The rest will be included in Grimoire - Apocrypha."…… “归还咒语——” “因为太复杂了，下卷写不完，剩下的就记载在《魔导书特典》中。”

YurineI'm sorry, Jashin-chan. I actually found the second volume long ago, and I realized it didn't contain the return spell.抱歉，小邪神，其实我早就找到了《魔导书下卷》，也知道了里面根本没有归还咒语。

YurineBut I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to take it, so I was waiting for the right moment to tell you.但是我怕你没法接受，所以一直在等待合适的机会告诉你。

Yurine(?)Don't worry, Jashin-chan. There's another way, isn't there? You can go home if I make her disappear.没关系的，小邪神，不是还有另一种方法嘛？ 只要我让她消失，你就可以回家了。

Jashin-chan stares dumbly at Yurine, who is slumped in the corner of the room. Jashin-chan has no idea why she would choose to tell the truth when the timing was so terrible for her. Meanwhile, "Yurine" grins nefariously as mana gathers in her hand...小邪神呆滞地看着颓坐在墙角的百合铃，不明白她为什么要在这么不利于自己的时刻说出真相。 而“百合铃”诡谲地微笑着，手掌间凝聚起了魔力……

Jashin-chanWhat are you thinking, Yurine?你到底在想什么，百合铃？

Since this is her domain, Jashin-chan simply exerts a little mana, and Yurine's memories come pouring out before Jashin-chan like a flood...因为是在自己的主场，小邪神稍稍动用魔力，百合铃的记忆就像是潮水般在小邪神的眼前涌现……

...During Hell's Festival.……魔界庆典期间。

YurineWhy have you been staying at home these past few days?你这几天怎么一直待在家里？

Jashin-chanHell is having a festival, so everyone went home.魔界在举办庆典啊，大家都回去了。

Yurine... Want some pocket money so you can go out and play with the gachapon machines?…… 要不要给你点零花钱，让你出去玩玩扭蛋机？

Jashin-chanNah.不要。

Jashin-chan spreads out across the floor like melted ice-cream in summer.小邪神像夏天融化的冰淇淋一样瘫在地板上。

Yurine quietly returns to her bookshelves and flips through the Grimoire again.百合铃悄无声息地回到书架边，再一次翻找起了魔法书。

YurineIt doesn't matter if it's just for a few days. Let Jashin-chan go back to Hell... Even if it's only for a few days...哪怕只有短短几天。 只要短短几天就够了。 让小邪神回到魔界吧。

...On a certain day, Jashin-chan returns home after blowing all her money on pachinko again.……某日，又一次打柏青哥输光钱的小邪神回到家里。

Jashin-chanYurine, I'm out of money for dinner ingredients.百合铃，没钱买晚饭食材了。

Yurine...Were you playing pachinko again?……又去打柏青哥了？

Jashin-chanN-no, I wasn't... So this is what happened! Er... There was a dog on the street... He looked super sad, and he looked at me and wagged his tail... So I couldn't bear it and bought him like 10 or so hot dogs...才、才不是呢…… 是这样的！ 呃……那个路上有条狗…… 超可怜的，看着我就摇尾乞怜起来…… 我没忍心，就给它买了十几个热狗肠……

Jashin-chan's hastily-cobbled-together lie quickly collapses in on itself.小邪神蹩脚的谎言一触即碎。

YurineI understand.我知道了。

Jashin-chanY-you're not going to punish me, are you?你、你不惩罚我吗……

Yurine rips open the package beside her and pulls out a trident...百合铃从一边刚拆开的快递里拿出三叉戟……

Jashin-chanGwaaaaaahhhh—!!!呜啊啊啊啊——！！！

After dealing with Jashin-chan, Yurine opens the papers and looks at the recruitment section.收拾完小邪神后，百合铃打开了报纸，寻找起了兼职信息。

YurineI guess the only way I can support Jashin-chan is to work at a maid café...果然还是只有去女仆咖啡厅打工，才能养得起小邪神啊……

With a sigh, Yurine circles the recruitment ad with a red pen.叹了口气，百合铃用红笔将报纸上的兼职信息圈了起来。

...Yurine sends off Jashin-chan and company.……百合铃将小邪神一行送出门。

YurineI hope Jashin-chan will get along with our guests from another world and make friends with them. That way, she might not be so lonely even when Medusa and the others aren't around.希望小邪神能和异世界的访客们好好相处，成为朋友。 这样，美杜莎她们不在的时候，也许就可以不那么寂寞了吧。

Yurine smiles to herself and starts cleaning up the messy apartment.百合铃对着空气微笑了一下，开始打扫乱七八糟的家里。

YurineOh, maybe I should've given Jashin-chan a bit more money?啊，刚刚给小邪神的钱会不会不太够？

Yurine opens her cabinet and fishes out the purse that contains her savings.百合铃打开抽屉，翻出自己存放积蓄的钱包。

YurineHm... Still, I really don't have much money left.唔……不过我也确实没有什么钱了。

The jingling of a few lonely coins is the only answer to Yurine's helpless chuckle.孤零零的几个硬币回应着百合铃的苦笑。

YurineWell, I'd better do my best at work, then.打工还得加油啊。

Jashin-chanYurine!!! I'm coming!!!百合铃！！！ 我来了！！！

Jashin-chanLet's settle the score some other time! It doesn't matter if I can't go back to Hell! It doesn't matter if you keep defeating me! Just make sure you censor out the aftermath! I don't want to be the female lead for the new season of "Jashin-chan's Frontline" either! Keep being my partner, Yurine!!!算旧账的时间就再往后延一延吧！ 回不去魔界就算了！老被你打败也算了！但是圣光是一定要打的！ 新的一季《小邪神前线》我也不想做大女主了！ 继续跟我搭档吧，百合铃！！！ 今后也请多多指教了！！！

Jashin-chanJASHIN-CHAN DROPKIIIIICK—!!!小邪神飞踢——！！！

Yurine(?)My my, Jashin-chan, I told you that all you needed to do was watch. I'm perfectly fine over here, you know~ ♪啊呀，小邪神，都说了你看着就好啦。 这边我完全没问题喔♪

Jashin-chan's dropkick lands squarely on "Yurine".小邪神精准命中了“百合铃”。

Yurine(?)What... Why...什么…… 为什么……

Jashin-chanFarewell, "Yurine"!!!永别了，“百合铃”！！！

Yurine(?)Why me...为什么是我……

Fortune-Teller...There might be some problems between the two of you, but these problems will not drive you apart.

CustomerPlease elaborate, great master.

Fortune-TellerTake this bowl of shaved ice, for instance.

The fortune-teller hands a bowl of glittering, translucent shaved ice to the customer.占卜师将盛着晶莹剔透的刨冰的碗递给了顾客。

Fortune-TellerPerhaps this shaved ice might melt because it is hot, but it does not vanish. It has merely changed its state, just like your love.

Fortune-TellerLook at this bowl of shaved ice and try to experience it.

Jashin-chanSlurp—吸溜——

The customer looks at the empty bowl and nods doubtfully.顾客看了眼空空如也的刨冰碗，犹疑地点了点头。

CustomerI see, great master. Love is like shaved ice, it vanishes for no reason at all.

CustomerSo I should accept it with a calm and resigned heart, the way I am holding this empty bowl, and just move on to the next bowl of shaved ice.

Fortune-TellerHuh?

CustomerThank you, great master. You have granted me an epiphany.

The customer rises to his feet and leaves the fortune-telling stand.顾客坚定地站起身，离开了占卜摊位。
