From Griffin, With Love 来自格里芬的你

...At the Commander's dorm. A haggard and sleep-deprived Commander sits lethargically on the sofa, waiting for Kalina to finish double-checking their work.……指挥官的宿舍。 精神萎靡像是一夜未眠的指挥官疲惫地坐在沙发上，等待格琳娜核对工作结束。

Kalina...All the urgent tasks are now out of the way. Oh right, have you dealt with the ones that I mentioned earlier?……紧急的工作已经都确认完了。 对了，之前你说会跟进的那些事项，你核对过了吗？

CommanderUh... (Clears throat)呃……呕咳咳咳……

KalinaI knew it!我就知道！

CommanderMy insomnia is so bad I haven't been able to focus properly for days...失眠太严重了，我这几天都集中不了注意力……

KalinaFine, I'll sort them out for you. Sheesh, sometimes I wonder who really is the commander here.好吧，拿给我来做好了。 指挥官真是的，有时候真搞不清到底谁才是指挥官。

Despite her incessant grumbling, Kalina collects all the paperwork on the Commander's desk.嘴上埋怨不停，但格琳娜还是收走了指挥官桌上的所有工作。

CommanderYou are truly exceptional, Commander Kalina. Please appoint me as your adjutant.你真是太优秀了，格琳娜指挥官，请收我做你的副官吧。

KalinaOh, hell no! You'd just slow down my money-making!才不要！ 指挥官只会影响我赚钱的速度！

Kalina pulls a playful face and opens the door to leave.格琳娜扮了个鬼脸，拉开门准备离开。

KalinaI'll be going then. Try to get some rest.那我先走了，你好好休息吧。

CommanderThank you, Kalin.辛苦你了，格琳。

KalinaDo something about that insomnia and pull yourself together, Commander. There's a lot more work waiting for you.快点治好失眠，振作起来啊，指挥官。 还有好多工作等着你呢。

CommanderYeah... (Coughs)嗯……呕咳咳咳……

The Commander curls up under their blanket and waves weakly at the departing Kalina.指挥官将自己裹进毛毯，虚弱地对即将关门离开的格琳娜挥了挥手。

Thud—the door is closed.砰——宿舍的门关上了。

The Commander immediately lights up and reaches out to—指挥官即刻容光焕发，将手伸向了——

Thud—the door is opened again.砰——宿舍的门又开了。

KalinaBy the way, I forgot to ask—how's the insomnia treatment that Gr G11 suggested?对了，忘记问你了，G11寄给你的拯救失眠方案怎么样？

Now curled up under the blanket once more, the ashen-faced Commander nods slowly.重新裹回毛毯、脸色暗淡的指挥官缓缓点了点头。

CommanderIt seems to be working a little.好像有点效果。

KalinaThat's good to hear!那真是太好了！

Kalina smiles brightly and closes the door again.格琳娜灿烂一笑，再度关上门离开了。

After making sure that her footsteps have receded into the distance, the Commander slips out from under the blanket and creeps up to their gaming console.听着她的脚步声走远，指挥官才钻出毛毯，爬到了游戏机前。

The suspended interface comes to life, and a minimalistic game menu comes into view.休眠界面被点亮，简约的游戏界面回到了指挥官的视野中。

CommanderGr G11 is so stingy. How could she hoard such a fun game all to herself for so long? It kept me up all night...G11这家伙真是太不够意思了，藏着这么好玩的游戏，居然现在才分享出来。 害我一口气打了个通宵……

With dark circles around their eyes, the Commander presses the "start" button.顶着厚重的黑眼圈，指挥官按下了“开始游戏”的按键。

...In Dier's workshop.……德尔的维修间。

Gr G11 presses the "play" button, and Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major starts trickling slowly from the hi-fi system. The music feels like the gentle embrace of moonlight, and her eyelids grow heavier and heavier...G11按下“播放”键，音响中缓缓倾泻着肖邦的《降E大调夜曲》，像是轻薄的月光撒在身上，眼皮不自觉地松动耷拉下来……

Her eyes suddenly snap wide open.闭目倾听的G11突然睁开了双眼。

Gr G11...Aah!……啊！

DierJesus!啊！

416What the hell, Gr G11?! Dier was so startled he dropped his spanner on my foot!G11，你鬼叫什么？！害德尔把扳手砸我脚上了！

Gr G11I... I think I sent the wrong tape...我……好像给错卡带了……

416What tape?什么卡带？

UMP9You don't mean...你说的该不会是——

UMP45Oh, Gr G11 sent a tape to answer the Commander's call for suggestions to cure their insomnia.哦，G11昨天给指挥官征集的拯救失眠方案寄去了卡带。

UMP9So what did you really send?那你实际寄去的是？

Gr G11I can't remember...我忘了……

416We're done for. You never know what kind of scary things you'll find in Gr G11's pile of trash.完蛋了，G11那堆破烂里指不定能翻出什么恐怖的玩意。

UMP45 retrieves the playing cassette tape from the hi-fi system. Her eyes narrow as she studies the blank case.UMP45从音响中取出正在播放的卡带，看着空白的封皮，她的眼睛弯了起来。

UMP45Could it be that...?难道是那个东西……

UMP9What do we do, 45? Should we call Miss Kalina and explain the situation?怎么办啊，45姐，要给格琳娜小姐打电话说明情况吗？

416Then we'd be exposing ourselves. It'd make us look very unprofessional.这不就自我暴露了？显得我们很不专业。

Gr G11Ugh...呜……

UMP45It's been 24 hours, but we haven't heard anything from them. That means...已经过去了24小时，那边还没有什么消息，这说明——

UMP9The Commander hasn't found out yet?指挥官还没发现？

416Or maybe they've already found out...或者已经发现了……

UMP45But they're enjoying themselves.但是正乐在其中。

UMP9But... I still think we should say something...可是…… 我觉得还是应该说一声……

UMP45The Commander has been working so hard. It doesn't hurt for them to relax every now and then. We shouldn't interrupt their R&R.指挥官平常这么辛苦，偶尔放松下也没关系的。 我们就不要打扰了。

UMP45 holds down UMP9's communicator. Her eyes flicker dangerously as she grins.UMP45按住了UMP9的通讯器，她的笑容中闪烁着危险的光芒。

Commander... What's the meaning of this?…… 这是什么意思？

The Commander lowers their controller and stares at the new interface in confusion.有些疑惑地放下手柄，指挥官盯着屏幕上出现的新界面。

"Congratulations, you have cleared the highest difficulty." "You may now start building a whole new world that is entirely your own!" "Please select your preference from the following options."“恭喜您，您已经突破了最高难度。” “现在，开始构建属于您的全新世界吧！” “请从以下几个元素中选择您喜欢的选项。”

CommanderSelect my preference? To randomly generate a new stage?A. A cute and gentle maid idol who can chop up three tons of firewood in a day.B. A cold and elegant Doll idol who can kick a hole right through your chest.C. A versatile zombie idol who can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball.选择一个元素，随机生成全新的关卡吗？A 温柔可爱一天能劈三吨柴的女仆偶像B 冷艳高贵一脚能踏穿胸口的人形偶像C 唱跳RAP篮球全方位发展的僵尸偶像

CommanderLet's not overthink this. Simply choose the type of boss that seems the easiest to deal with. You it is.没什么多余的考虑，单纯觉得这种类型的BOSS会比较好应付。 就你了！

The Commander selects an option, but the cursor is frozen at the original spot.指挥官按下了选项，但鼠标却像被冻结了一样僵硬在原来的位置。

No matter how hard the Commander tries to move it, it stubbornly inches toward the bottom option...不管指挥官如何操纵，鼠标都执着地挪向了最下方的选项——

CommanderNo! Stop it!不要啊！给我住手！

Click. The cursor selects option C. The sharp click almost sounds like a taunting chuckle.咔哒——鼠标按下了选项C，清脆的选中声像是它狂妄的笑。

CommanderHeheh, this is my favorite, of course... No fun in not picking the hardest boss, eh?嘿嘿，我最喜欢的当然是这种类型啊…… 打怪嘛，就要挑最难的来！

Click. The Commander selects option C decisively.咔哒——指挥官果断地按下了选项C。

CommanderLet's not overthink this. Simply choose the type of boss that seems the easiest to deal with. You it is.没什么多余的考虑，单纯觉得这种类型的BOSS会比较好应付。 就你了！

The Commander selects an option, but the cursor is frozen at the original spot.指挥官按下了选项，但鼠标却像被冻结了一样僵硬在原来的位置。

No matter how hard the Commander tries to move it, it stubbornly inches toward the bottom option...不管指挥官如何操纵，鼠标都执着地挪向了最下方的选项——

CommanderNo! Stop it!不要啊！给我住手！

Click. The cursor selects option C. The sharp click almost sounds like a taunting chuckle.咔哒——鼠标按下了选项C，清脆的选中声像是它狂妄的笑。

The interface disappears from the screen like a bunched up piece of paper. The Commander gazes at the loading screen in a daze as their consciousness also goes into the garbage can.界面如一团被揉皱的纸般消失在了屏幕。 指挥官呆呆地看着加载界面，感觉自己的意识也被揉皱扔到了垃圾桶中。

CommanderI really shouldn't... stay up all night...果然还是……不能熬夜啊……

Drowning in a thick wave of drowsiness, the Commander loses control over their own body...浓稠的困意袭来，指挥官失去了对身体的掌控……

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance. Like a perfume sprayed onto an invitation card that pulls you to a gala.哗啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。 像是打开了一张邀请函，从中散发出的香气正拉着你前往宴会。

Commander...Where am I?……我在哪？

???Saga.佐贺。

CommanderSaga? I've never heard of this place.佐贺？我没有听说过这样的地方。

???Time is running short. Things are already set in motion.时间不多了，一切已经开始了。

The waves' impact grow sharper and louder, and the once steady boat underneath also starts rocking violently.浪花击打的声音更加清晰锐利，身下平稳的船只也剧烈摇晃起来。

CommanderWhat are you talking about? And who are you?你在说什么？你又是谁？

???I am Saga, and Saga is me.我即是佐贺，佐贺即是我。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

The salty sea air disappears and the sound of waves also drifts away as you find yourself now lying on a concrete floor.咸涩的空气消失了，浪潮声也远去，你感觉自己从船只上落到了水泥地板上。

The pungent and musty scent of mold mixed with dust assaults your nose. You try to open your eyes.潮湿的霉味和厚重的灰尘味同时被鼻腔吸入，你开始尝试睁开双眼。

Red-Haired GirlA, kono hito... me ga zameta...A、konohito、megasameta…

White-Haired GirlYokatta. Daijoubu?Yokatta、daijyobu？

Silver-Haired GirlNanika itte kudasai...Nanikaittekudasai…

You find yourself surrounded by several girls. Their faces have a spooky green tint and they seem to be saying something. Then you notice the seams all over their bodies, which suggest the body parts are clearly stitched together. Right now, they are all staring expectantly at you, as if waiting for a response.面前围着几位脸色幽绿的少女，嘴里似乎在说些什么，你注意到她们的身体表面有明显的拼凑痕迹。 现在，她们正呆滞地盯着你，似乎在等待你的回复。

Your eyes widen in terror. You open your mouth, but the only sound that comes out is a scream.你惊恐地瞪大了双眼，嘴巴张了又张，说出口的却只有一连串惊声尖叫。

CommanderAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! ELIDs!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊—— ELID！！！

Thankfully, the many years of training has given you some decent skills and reflexes. You immediately roll to one side and reach for the pistol behind your waist... But it isn't there.好在多年的训练让你拥有不俗的身上，你立刻翻身滚到一边，熟练地摸向别在腰后的手枪—— 空空如也。

You take a deep breath and feel calmly for the combat knife stowed in your boot... It isn't there either.你深吸一口气，冷静地摸向靴子边的匕首—— 空空如也。

???Hey, what kind of popping is that supposed to be?!喂，你在表演哪门子popping啊？！

The fierce-looking blonde ELID with a microphone stand hoisted on her shoulder marches up to you. Unarmed and completely vulnerable, you can only back away.肩扛话筒架的金发ELID凶神恶煞地走来，手无寸铁的你只能暂且撤退。

CommanderKalina?! Where are the Dolls?!格琳娜？！人形呢？！

CommanderHelp!!!救我啊！！！

???Um, please calm down! I thought Kotaro has already told you about our situation...那个，请冷静一下！我以为幸太郎已经告诉过你，我们的情况……

???Please relax. We mean you no harm.放轻松，我们不会伤害你的。

???Lily is a good girl...莉莉是好孩子……

CommanderReally?真的吗？

You lower your guard just a little. As you reach into your breast pocket for your handkerchief and wipe the sweat from your brow, some strip-like objects come falling out. Judging by the smell, they seem to be dried shredded squid.你稍微放松了几分警惕，想要从胸前的口袋中找出纸巾擦擦汗，不料却翻出了一些条状物。 从味道来判断，应该是鱿鱼丝。

Tae YamadaUgh... Argh...!!!啊……啊……！！！

One of the ELIDs suddenly come charging at you. Your already high-strung nerves snap. Driven by pure instincts, you dash out of this dark and cramped basement, all the while screaming at the top of your lungs.一个ELID猛地扑向你，你紧绷的神经差点直接断掉，本能的反应驱使你尖叫着逃出这个逼仄阴暗的地下室——

CommanderSTAY AWAY FROM ME!!!你们不要过来啊——！！！

You race toward the light as the ELIDs' frenzied footsteps and growls chase you from behind...你向着有光的地方冲刺而去，身后是ELID们狂暴的脚步声和怒吼……

This appears to be a very old mansion. Unfamiliar with the layout, you run around like a headless chicken and have somehow made your way to the second floor. There is no sign of the ELIDs for now; you seem to have shaken them off. At this brief moment of respite, you lean against the wall to catch your breath as you start gathering your thoughts.这里似乎是一幢年代久远的洋房，不熟悉地形的你一顿乱跑，来到了二楼。 暂时听不见ELID们的动静，应该是拉开了一段距离。 得到片刻的安宁，靠着墙狂喘气的你开始思考对策。

CommanderCalm down, put things together... I was gaming in my dorm, so how did I end up here when I opened my eyes again? And what's with that strange voice...? ... Hold on, I think I get it.冷静下来，俯瞰，快俯瞰…… 我明明在宿舍玩游戏的，为什么再睁开眼就来了这个地方？ 还有之前那个莫名其妙的声音…… …… 等一下，我好像明白了。

I stayed up all night gaming and fell asleep in front of the console, then I vaguely heard some cryptic opening lines that didn't really mean anything... Putting everything together, there's only one conclusion...通宵打游戏，在游戏机前睡着，然后在迷糊中听见神神叨叨的、说了什么但又什么都没说的开场白…… 连在一起，这不就是——

CommanderA dream! I must be dreaming... Just before I dozed off, the game mentioned something about "zombie idol", so that's why I'm dreaming about such things.做梦！我一定是在做梦…… 因为睡着前，游戏界面出现了“僵尸偶像”什么的，导致我做梦也梦见了这个。

Now that you have it all figured out, you let out a sigh of relief. Since you know it is just a dream, you know exactly what to do.明白真相的你舒了一口气，知道是梦的话，就可以按照常规手段解决了。

Thud-thud-thud... A series of footsteps come from the stairs—they're catching up. But you are no longer frightened. You feel calm energy returning to your body, and you even feel an urge to laugh.咚咚咚——楼梯上传来了密集的脚步声，它们追上来了。 但你的心情已经不再慌张，你感到平静的力量重新回到体内，你甚至有些想笑。

???Stop running! Please listen to what we have to say!别再跑了，请听我们说几句！

???We really don't want to hurt you!我们真的没有恶意！

CommanderSay no more. I understand everything.别说了，我已经明白了一切。

Turning to face the ELIDs that are drawing ever closer, you smile serenely.面向汹涌包围你的ELID，你坦然自若地微笑了起来。

The next second, you dash towards the wall and throw yourself heroically against it...下一秒，你朝着墙狂奔而去，一个帅气潇洒的冲撞动作后——

But instead of colliding with the wall and waking up from the dream, you crash right through the rotting structure and into the air...你并没能如愿撞墙撞到梦醒，而是直接撞穿朽烂的墙体，跃向空中——

CommanderHm?!嗯？！

That is when you realize a very important axiom.紧接着，你明白了一个重要的道理。

No matter which parallel universe you're in, gravity always pulls you down.不管在哪个异世界，地球引力都一样牢牢地吸引着你。

Red-Haired GirlOh, this person is coming to...啊，这个人醒了……

White-Haired GirlThat's a relief. Are you alright?太好了，你没事吧？

Silver-Haired GirlPlease say something...你说点什么吧……

You find yourself surrounded by several girls. Their faces have a spooky green tint, and there are seams all over their bodies, which suggest the body parts are stitched together. Right now, they are all staring expectantly at you, as if waiting for a response.面前围着几位脸色幽绿的少女，她们的身体表面有明显的拼凑痕迹。 现在，她们正呆滞地盯着你，似乎在等待你的回复。

CommanderI... Did the game restart...?我……这是游戏重来了吗……

You try to sit up, only to realize that you're securely tied up.你尝试坐起来，却发现自己被捆绑得结结实实。

CommanderWhy have you tied me up?! Release me!你们绑我是想干什么？放开我！

CommanderYou'd better stop this right now. My people are coming for me.你们最好立刻收手，我的人一定正在找我。

You start struggling vehemently, your high-pitched shouts resound through the basement.你猛烈挣扎起来，高亢的嗓音几乎要掀翻地下室。

But the girls standing before you seem utterly unfazed. One of them, the redhead, even offers you a glass of water considerately.但你面前的少女们却无动于衷，其中一位红发少女还贴心地端了杯水来。

???I bet you're thirsty after shouting for so long. Please have some water.叫了这么久，渴了吧？请喝点水。

Commander...I won't drink even if I die of thirst!……我就是渴死在这里，也不会喝的！

???Then you'd better stop shouting. Nobody will hear you even if you shout your head off.那你还是别叫了，就算喊破喉咙，也没人会听见的。

???You just fell from the second floor. Did you hurt yourself anywhere?你刚刚从二楼摔下来，身体有哪里不舒服吗？

???You looked really cool when you jumped, like you were just like a stunt person in movies! And you're actually okay! Are you also a zombie?你跳楼的姿势很帅诶，像电影里的特技一样！而且你居然没什么事的样子，难道你也是僵尸？

Commander...Zombie? You're not ELIDs?……僵尸？你们不是ELID？

???Looks like Kotaro hasn't told you anything. It should be quite obvious just looking at us. We have all been resurrected as zombies. But it doesn't matter what we are. You just have to be responsible for our training and daily routine for the next seven days.看来巽幸太郎什么也没跟你说。 看外表应该就明白了吧，我们都是死而复活的僵尸。 但不管我们是什么，你都要负责我们接下来七天的训练计划和生活起居。

Commander...Kotaro? Hold on, I have to be responsible for what?……巽幸太郎？等下，负责什么？

???Hey, is asking questions the only thing you can do?!喂，你这家伙，是除了问题就什么都不会说了吗？！

The blonde girl grabs you by your collar and you find yourself almost face-to-face with her. Observing her closely, you notice the girl is not wearing any makeup at all.你的衣领被金发少女揪起，额头几乎和她抵在一起。 超近距离的观察下，你注意到，这个金发少女完全没有化妆。

CommanderNo makeup, and this smell... They do seem to be real zombies...竟然没有化妆，还有这个气味，看来是真的僵尸……

???So you are the expert hired by Kotaro, aren't you?你就是巽幸太郎特聘的那位专家，对吗？

Commander...What kind of expert?……哪方面的专家？

???Oh dear... What should we do?!这……咋办啊？！

The blue-haired girl sighs in defeat.蓝发少女幽幽地叹了口气。

???It will take a lot of effort to explain all the whats and whys, but we don't have the time. So I'm just going to tell you what to do directly.看来现阶段想要弄清楚“是什么”和“为什么”的问题还需要很多功夫，但我们没时间了。 所以，接下来，我会直接告诉你“怎么做”。

CommanderBut—可是——

Before you can argue, the blue-haired girl has already shoved a map into your face...不等你反驳，蓝发少女已经将你的脸按向了地图……

Blue-Haired GirlTo become a successful idol group, these five aspects are all indispensable— Intonation, rhythm, savings, vigor, and inspiration.要想成为一个成功的偶像组合，这五项能力都不可或缺—— 音准、律动、存款、活力和灵感。

White-Haired GirlWe can work on improving these aspects by going to different places. To improve our intonation, we'll have to go to the karaoke box. The dance studio is for improving our rhythm. To increase our savings, we must work at the convenience store. Eating at the fast food restaurant will give us more vigor. And finally, inspiration will come to us in the bathhouse.而你去到不同的地方，可以锻炼不同的能力。 想要锻炼音准，就需要去练歌房，律动对应着练舞厅，存款需要去便利店打工，活力则需要从快餐店中获取，灵感会在浴场中涌现。

CommanderSlow down, I couldn't remember any of that...说慢点，我什么也没记住……

Blonde GirlDammit! Listen carefully! We only have seven days left! Our most important performance is in seven days! So you must make good use of the little time we have left to arrange our training program, while also leaving enough time for us to work and make money!啰嗦！你先好好听着！ 我们只剩七天时间了，七天后就是我们最重要的演出！ 所以啊，这七天时间你要给我好好利用起来，安排我们的训练计划，同时还要抽时间打工赚钱！

Commander... Can't you just pack these seven days full?…… 那七天都拉满不就行了？

White-Haired GirlNo! There's a limit to our energy. We can only train or work in the morning and in the afternoon. So you can only arrange two activities for us in a day. Please do be reasonable and consider—不行！我们的精力也是有限的，只有上午和下午的时间能够投入到训练或打工中。 因此，一天之中，只能进行两次活动，还请你合理安排，你可以考虑——

CommanderBefore we start talking about the arrangements, I have one more question.在讲到安排之前，我还有个问题。

Blonde GirlShoot!问吧！

CommanderWho exactly are you? How do I know who to send where?你们都是谁啊？我怎么知道该安排你们谁去哪里？

Blue-Haired GirlYou don't have to worry about that. You simply have to decide what needs to be done in any given day and head to the corresponding locations. You will encounter different members of the group at different places. Help us complete our training or work, and our abilities will improve.这个问题你不用考虑，你只需要决定每日需要完成的项目，然后去到对应的地点就行。 在不同的地点，你会遇见不同的成员，帮助她们完成训练或者打工，就可以获得能力上的提升。

White-Haired GirlOn top of that, you will also learn more about us as we spend time together... We may even become friends if you're willing.其实除了能力上的提升，在我们接下来的相处中，你也会了解到更多和我们有关的事情…… 如果你愿意的话，或许能和我们成为朋友。

CommanderLooks like we're about to get very busy. Now, who the hell are—看来接下来的每一天都会很充实啊，所以你们到底是——

???Well, we have indeed forgotten to introduce ourselves...至于我们是谁，确实是疏忽了自我介绍的环节……

Sakura MinamotoI am Member No. 1, Sakura Minamoto.我是1号源樱。

Saki NikaidoNo. 2, Saki Nikaido! Also the leader of Franchouchou! Nice to meet you!2号，二阶堂咲，也是法兰秀秀的队长，请多指教！

Ai MizunoNo. 3, Ai Mizuno.3号水野爱。

Junko KonnoI am Junko Konno, Member No. 4.我是绀野纯子，队内的4号。

YugiriNo. 5, Yugiri. I'll be in your care.5号，夕雾，之后还请多多关照。

Lily HoshikawaLily Hoshikawa, No. 6~!星川莉莉！我是6号~

Tae YamadaMmmggh... Arghhh... (Garbled gibberish)唔……欧啊啊……（意义不明的话语）

Sakura MinamotoThis is No. 0, Tae Yamada. Should we repeat that again?这位是0号，山田多惠。 需要我再帮你重复一遍吗？

CommanderNo, it's only seven names.不必了，七个人而已。

Ai MizunoNow you must be aware of our situation. What are your thoughts?我们的情况，你应该已经明白了。 你的想法呢？

Commander...A. This is no big deal at all.B. Please send the minutes of this meeting to my adjutant.……A 这点问题的话小意思B 麻烦整理个会议纪要发给我的副官

CommanderPlease type up the minutes of this meeting and send to to my adju— ... I don't have an adjutant with me. Looks like I'm on my own.刚刚你说的话再做个会议纪要发给我的副—— …… 我现在没有副官了啊，看来只能全靠自己了。

CommanderI think I have a rough idea about what's going on. My usual work is a lot more complicated. If it's just managing these affairs, I don't think I'll have any problem whatsoever.我大概明白了，我以前的工作可比这复杂多了。 只是统筹处理这些工作的话，我完全没有问题。

Sakura MinamotoTo sum it up quickly, right now we need more intense training to bring our intonation and rhythm to a higher standard. On top of that, we need to improve our financial situation. We've all been working part-time jobs. As our manager, you should also rack up some savings by working at the convenience store regularly. If you're tired, you can visit the bathhouse for some inspiration or head to the fast food restaurant to gain more vigor.我再来总结一遍好了，现在我们需要加强训练，将律动和音准都拔到高水平才行。 但除此以外，还需要解决经费问题，目前我们各自都在打工，制作人的话，也请经常去便利店赚取存款吧。 如果累了的话，可以去公共浴场找找灵感，或者去快餐店提高活力。

YugiriThis should be a piece of cake for an expert like you.对您这样的专家而言，这点小事自然也是游刃有余。

Lily HoshikawaNow please direct us in starting our training, Manager-sama!制作人大人，快指挥我们开始训练吧！

You find some familiarity from these unfamiliar faces in this unfamiliar environment. You are used to being surrounded by girls who look expectantly to you for orders. So you smile as the faces of these strangers overlap with the girls in your memory.你从眼前这陌生的环境和陌生的人中找到了几分熟悉感。 是源于你过去日常的情境，同样满脸期待的少女们簇拥着你，等待你的指令。 于是你笑了笑，面前陌生少女的脸庞也和记忆中的少女们重合起来。

CommanderI understand. Now one last thing.我知道了，还有最后一件事。

Sakura MinamotoPlease go ahead.请讲。

CommanderStop calling me a manager or an expert or whatnot. In my world—I mean, in my profession, everyone calls me Commander!不要叫我制作人、专家什么的，在我那个世界，不对，在我这个专业的圈子里，大家都叫我指挥官！

Sakura MinamotoYes, Commander!好的，指挥官！

You dust off your tattered clothes and get up from the floor. You look around at the zombie idols standing before you. War, Dolls, Paradeus... All of that are about to fade into the past... Starting today, your life will be filled with idols, mundane daily activities, and glory...?你拍了拍狼狈不堪的衣服，从地板上站起来，环视着围绕在身边的僵尸偶像们。 战争、人形、帕拉蒂斯……都将离你远去…… 而偶像、日常、荣耀将从今天开始，成为你的生活了吗？

Commander...A. Accept the situation and turn over a new leaf.B. Be defiant and try to find your way back home.……A 接受现实，开启新生活B 勇于反抗，寻找回家的路

CommanderYou've got to be kidding me! As if this Commander would be so easily swayed! Only naïve little girls would be fooled by this kind of pitch! Like hell I'd go into idol training! Making me babysit them? I'd even have to train them personally and work a part-time job to make extra pocket money? No freaking way! I'm going back to my base, where I have an adjutant who brings me my meals, helps me with work, and takes care of me...开什么玩笑啊！本指挥官是这么轻易被说服的吗？ 也就天真单纯的少女们会被这样的话术蒙骗了，我才不要搞什么偶像培训！ 让我照顾别人的生活起居？还要亲自负责训练、打工赚钱？绝无可能！ 我要回基地！那里有副官给我送饭、帮我处理工作、照顾我的起居……

In the dead silence of the night, you slip quietly out of your room and run towards the main entrance. You grin at the thought of regaining your freedom, and even the darkness cannot conceal the gleeful glint in your eyes.深夜寂静的洋房中，你鬼祟地从自己房间逃出，奔向了大门口。 想到即将重获自由，夜色也难掩你的狂笑。

One step, two steps... The main entrance is just a few—一步两步、一步两步，距离大门只差——

???Woof.汪。

A soft bark interrupts your escape attempt.稚嫩的小狗吠声打断了你的行动。

CommanderWhere did this dog come from? Hush, move aside.哪来的小狗？ 嘘，一边去。

???Arf-arf-arf!汪汪汪！

CommanderNot so loud... Don't wake them!小声点……不要吵醒她们！

You shush the dog and try to send it away. The dog shows no sign of fear but prowls up to you instead. As it comes under the light, you finally see it clearly.你发出嘘声，企图赶走这只小狗。 但小狗丝毫不惧，反而越走越近，在逐渐明亮的灯光下，你看清了它的样子。

The dog has the same greenish skin and stitched seams as the zombie girls. As you gawk at it, the dog's body starts enlarging...和那些僵尸少女们如出一辙的幽绿色皮肤、被缝补的痕迹，在你惊愕的注视下，小狗身形也膨胀了起来……

CommanderWait, wait, wait... How come even dogs can be zombified in this universe?!喂喂喂……等下，怎么这个世界连狗都可以做僵尸啊？！

???ARF-ARF-ARF!!!嗷嗷汪——

The dog, now several times bigger, charges toward you...体型膨胀数倍的小狗狂奔向了你……

CommanderAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!啊啊啊啊啊啊——

Junko KonnoRomero, stop.罗梅罗，停下。

RomeroAwoo.呜汪。

CommanderI'm saved...得救了……

Ai MizunoI knew you'd try to run away while we were asleep.我就知道，你一定会趁着我们都睡着的时候逃走。

Sakura MinamotoPlease don't leave us...请不要丢下我们……

CommanderI was just going for a walk.我只是打算出去看看周围环境散散心。

Saki NikaidoHumph, you can't escape even if you try!哼，就算你想逃，你也逃不出去的！

YugiriThis is Saga. I'm afraid you will find it very difficult to leave before the time is right.这里可是佐贺，在未到时刻之前，你恐怕很难离开。

Tae YamadaUgh... Waaargh... (I'm... sleepy...)呜……哇……（好……困……）

You look at Romero, who has reverted back to his original size, then glance at the zombie girls again. Escape seems out of the question for the time being.你看了看变回原来体型的罗梅罗，又看了看神情各异的僵尸少女们。 看来短时间内，你是无法从这里逃走了。

CommanderDon't give up hope. I've weathered worse storms. Keep calm and play it by ear. Kalina and the others must be trying to get me out of here as well.不能放弃希望，什么样的风浪我没有见过？ 冷静下来，灵活应对，格琳娜她们也一定在想办法救我。

CommanderNow I truly understand. Goodnight, ladies, and I'll see you tomorrow.我现在是真的明白了，各位晚安，明天见。

You bow at them several times before retiring to your room.你连连鞠躬，然后退回了房间。

A brand new day is about to begin.崭新的一天即将开始。

You throw yourself onto the bed, not quite sure how you're feeling. Too many things have happened today, you find yourself at a bit of a loss. Through your jumbled thoughts, you hear a voice humming softly. The voice is sweet and mellow, and it soothes your taut nerves like a refreshing countryside breeze on a spring day.你心情复杂地倒在床上，今天发生了太多事情，让你有些措手不及。 在你思绪万千的时候，你听见了一阵轻轻哼唱声。 声音柔和迤逦，如春日郊外的清风般抚平你紧绷的神经。

Amid the gentle song, you drift off to sleep and have the first sweet dream since you started losing sleep.在温柔的歌声中，你沉沉睡去，做了连日失眠以来的第一个美梦。

She also believes that "a person who can't take idols seriously can't handle being her manager", leading to an awkward moment.你对小爱搭话，却被冷淡对应。 原来小爱并不信赖曾试图潜逃的你，认为“不能认真对待偶像的人不能胜任制作人”，令你略感尴尬。

Inside the karaoke box. As you accompany Sakura and Junko in their practice, your mind wanders back to plotting your return to Griffin.练歌房内。 你陪着源樱和纯子练习，心思却飘到了何时能回到格里芬上。

Sakura asks for feedback and you try to mumble your way through it.源樱向你询问修改意见，你支支吾吾地试图敷衍过去。

Junko looks disappointed... You tell her that you don't know anything about music...纯子流露出失望的神情…… 你解释说自己对音乐一知半解……

Junko walks out of the karaoke box after accusing you of not taking this seriously enough.却被纯子指出你的态度不够认真并离开了练歌房。

Sakura tries to comfort you, saying that as a "legendary Showa idol", her standards are extremely high.源樱安慰你，纯子作为传奇“昭和偶像”，要求一向很严格。

However, you acknowledge that you weren't being serious enough because your heart isn't really in becoming an idol manager. The whole idea just seems ridiculous to you.你却承认了自己不够认真，因为你并不想当这个莫名其妙的制作人。

Sakura laughs and says that back when she lost her memories, someone told her that her aim was to become the greatest idol. She thought it was ridiculous too, but after that, she learned a lot and realized that she herself had dreamed of becoming an idol before her death. Sakura encourages you to take this job seriously, because you might come across unexpected surprises along the way, and she also gives you tips on how to study up on music theory quickly.源樱笑着说，也有人对着失去记忆的她说要以最强偶像为目标。 她也觉得莫名其妙，但后来收获了很多，还发现偶像其实是她生前的梦想。 源樱鼓励你试着认真对待这份工作，或许有意外之喜，还给了你快速学习乐理的建议。

You head to the fast food restaurant to grab a bite and happen to encounter Saki, who's working here. However, she's arguing with the owner.你到快餐店吃东西，偶遇了在这里打工的二阶堂咲，却发现二阶堂咲正在与店长争执。

Turns out Saki was arguing with a customer... The owner tries to teach her that the customer is always right, but Saki insists that it was those customers' fault.原来二阶堂刚才与客人发生了冲突…… 店长教育她顾客就是上帝，但二阶堂则坚持是那群客人的问题。

57-D1-1 第一天·上午 · 57-D1-1

You are filled with curiosity after coming to this new world and want to know what kind of strange things are sold in the convenience stores here. Thus your first stop is the convenience store.初到异世界的你充满好奇，想知道这里的便利店会出售什么样奇怪的东西。于是你的第一个目的地选择了便利店。

Sadly, their stock is little different from that of your world. Disappointed, you are about to leave when you encounter Tae.遗憾的是，便利店出售的东西和你所在的世界相差无几，大失所望的你准备离开，却在这时遇见了山田多惠。

She doesn't seem capable of expressing herself verbally. She grabs a packet of dried shredded squid and tries to leave the store just like that.她似乎不太具备能够清晰表达自我的语言能力，手里抓着袋鱿鱼丝就准备离开。

The store clerk sees her and stops her. Since you're completely unfamiliar with this new world, you think it's probably wise to be on good terms with the girls, so you pay for the packet of dried shredded squid, much as it pains you. However, Tae shows no sign of gratitude; she simply wolfs the squid down and swaggers off.见她被便利店小哥拦下，你考虑到初来乍到、应该维护好人际关系，就忍痛买下了鱿鱼丝，没想到多惠毫无感谢之意，吃光鱿鱼丝就大摇大摆地离开了。

You are mildly annoyed, but after the clerk explains things, you decide that Tae is just an introverted, good-natured girl who acts a little strange.你有些气恼，但在便利店小哥的解释下，你认为多惠只是一个行为有些奇怪的内向善良小姑娘。

And so, you catch up to Tae and tell her that you're willing to put in the effort to become her friend. Tae's response to your extended hand is—于是，你追上多惠，表示愿意付出更多的耐心来和她做朋友，面对你伸出的手，多惠回应你的只有——

A toothy "nom".一口“嗷呜”。

Day 1 – Noon 第一天·中午

After a long and busy morning, you walk on the street, completely exhausted.奔波一上午的你疲惫地走在街上。

CommanderI'm starving... I miss the good old days when I had an adjutant who would bring me my lunch...好饿啊…… 好想念有副官给我送饭的日子……

You lean feebly against a wall. This place called "Saga" is far more technologically backward compared to the Griffin base. There are no electric bike rentals, and even GPS navigation doesn't exist yet. You've already gotten lost multiple times in this small city in a single morning.你虚弱地扶住墙，这个叫“佐贺”的地方科技远远落后于格里芬基地，不仅没有共享电单车，连导航服务都还没出现。 短短的一上午，在这小小一方天地，你已经迷路了好几次。

CommanderBetter get something to eat first.还是先去买点饭吃吧。

The modest signboard of the convenience store comes into view from across the street. You arrive at the entrance and catch a glimpse of familiar figures just as you are about to enter.便利店朴素的招牌出现在了街对面。 你来到了便利店门口，正准备走进去时，瞥见了几个熟悉的身影。

You hesitate at the door, uncertain if you should go up and say hello, when their chatter becomes audible to you.在你犹豫要不要上前打个招呼时，她们聊天的声音传来。

Sakura MinamotoHave you seen the Commander this morning? ... Hm... I see...你们上午看见指挥官了吗？ …… 唔……我知道了……

The girls are huddled together in a hushed conversation about you, but you're still too far away to catch everything.她们似乎正凑在一起嘀嘀咕咕地聊起有关你的话题，但你距离不够近，只能隐约听见几句。

Junko KonnoDo you think the Commander will be able to help us complete the concert?你们觉得，指挥官的话，能帮我们完成演唱会吗？

Ai MizunoWe'll definitely be fine, whether or not we have the Commander's support...我们一定没问题的，不管指挥官是全力支持我们也好……

Saki NikaidoHumph, I'm just curious to see what this specially hired expert is made of!哼，我倒要看看，这个什么特聘专家指挥官能搞出什么名堂！

Looks like the girls still do not completely trust your abilities, but that's only to be expected. After all, when you first joined Griffin, it also took you a very long time to come to terms with the the fact that your work involves a lot more than simply "repelling the occasional Sangvis Ferri intruders". It took an even longer time for you to get to know the hundreds of Dolls serving under your command.看来大家还没有完全信任你的能力，不过这或许也是难免的。 毕竟你刚入职格里芬的时候，花了很长时间才接受自己的实际工作并不只是“驱逐偶尔前来的铁血部队”。 也花了更长时间在熟悉身为自己部下的数百位人形上。

You let out a wistful chuckle at the thought and gaze at the seven girls whom you have only met recently...想到这里，你苦笑了下，望向便利店中你刚认识的七位少女们——

This is No. 1, Sakura Minamoto. Gentle, approachable, yet can be quite sensitive.这是1号源樱。 温和，平易近人，也有着敏感细腻的一面。

This is No. 2, Saki Nikaido. She may look like a mean delinquent at first glance, but she strikes you as a very genuine person with a kind of bold candidness.这是2号二阶堂咲。 看上去是个眼神犀利的不良少女，但实际似乎是个豪爽的性情中人。

This is No. 3, Ai Mizuno. Calm and collected, she can make sound judgment calls promptly in rapidly-changing situations.这是3号水野爱。 冷静克制，能对突发情况迅速做出理智判断。

This is No. 4, Junko Konno. Quiet and reserved, with a hint of melancholy. The type that will take some coaxing to open up.这是4号绀野纯子。 安静内敛，气质有一些忧郁，是需要认真发掘才能看清内心的类型。

This is No. 5, Yugiri. Probably the most mature one out of the seven. Charming, graceful, and very perceptive.这是5号夕雾。 应该可以算是7位女孩中最为成熟的一位，妩媚风情，很擅长察言观色。

This is No. 6, Lily Hoshikawa. She has the appearance and bearing of a cute and innocent child, but she is more wise and mature than she lets on.这是6号星川莉莉。 明明看上去还是个孩子，且也有着天真烂漫的可爱，但却有着超出外表年龄的成熟心智。

This is No. 0, Tae Yamada. She doesn't seem capable of intelligible speech, and her actions are often unpredictable. An interesting subject for observation.这是0号山田多惠。 似乎不具备清晰表达的语言能力，行为也常常超出你的预料，是个值得观察的对象。

These seven girls of diverse characters form a group known as "Franchouchou". That's all the information you have managed to piece together so far. Your thoughts are interrupted by more conversation drifting over from inside the shop.以上7位性情迥异的少女共同组成了名为“法兰秀秀”的组合，这就是你目前全部的情报。 你的沉思被从橱窗内传来的对话打断。

YugiriWhy don't we eat while we talk?各位，不如我们边吃饭边聊怎么样？

Lily HoshikawaOur seven bentos, plus the Commander's. I've got everything.我们7个的便当，还有指挥官的，我都拿好了。

Convenience Store CashierHello, that's 4,000 yen for a total of 8 bentos. Would you like them microwaved?您好，8份便当一共4000日元，请问需要加热吗？

You notice that the smile has frozen on Lily's face as she stands in front of the cashier.你注意到站在收银台边的星川莉莉突然凝固了笑容。

Sakura MinamotoWhat's wrong, Lily?怎么了，莉莉？

YugiriAre we short on money?我们身上的钱不够吗？

Lily HoshikawaYeah... Just by a bit.嗯……还差了一些。

The awkwardness is almost palpable in the air. The girls look crestfallen. You shift your gaze away, finding this difficult to watch even from outside the door.尴尬难捱的气氛以极其凌厉的架势铺陈开，几个女孩的脸上明显流露出失落的神情。 站在门外的你都有些不忍地移开目光。

Convenience Store CashierExcuse me, would you still like these bentos?请问，这些便当还需要吗？

So what are you going to do?A. March in heroically and pay on Franchouchou's behalf.B. Snicker at Franchouchou's humiliation and run off.C. Grab the bentos and run with the girls.那么，你会做出怎样的选择？A 帅气地冲进去为法兰秀秀付钱B 阴险地嘲笑完法兰秀秀后就跑C 狂暴地抢走便当后和她们逃跑

You frown a little as you size up the cashier of the convenience store who is wearing a professional smile. He is quite lean for an adult man; you should be able to knock him down easily with your years of combat experience. Besides, this is a parallel universe. Perhaps doing something "unusual" could break the world and propel you back to your own reality.你皱了皱眉，看向据守在收银台后带着标准微笑的便利店小哥。 算是在普通成年男性中偏瘦的体格，拥有多年战斗经验的你应该可以轻易撂倒。 更何况，这里可是异世界，说不定做点“特别”的行为反而能够打破梦境，让自己回到现实呢。

Having arrived at a conclusion, your lips curl up in a dangerous smile as you push open the door of the convenience store.想到这里，你嘴角弯起一抹坏笑，一把推开了便利店的门。

Convenience Store CashierWelcome~!欢迎光临~

CommanderWhat did you just say?你刚刚说什么？

You stand coldly in front of the cashier and stares intensely at his forehead— Apparently, this gesture of intimidation can convince others that you are not to be messed with.你冷酷地站在便利店小哥面前，犀利的眼神紧盯他的额头—— 据说这样可以让对方觉得你不好惹。

Convenience Store CashierJust now, you mean? I asked them if they still wanted these eight bentos.刚刚吗？我说，请问这8份便当还需要吗？

CommanderWell, I'm taking them all.我全都要。

Convenience Store CashierSure, that would be 4,000 yen.好的，一共4000日元。

You flash a dastardly grin, grab the stack of eight bentos, and beckon at the Franchouchou members standing behind you.你邪魅一笑，一把揽过8份便当，然后对身后的法兰秀秀招了招手。

CommanderYou're not getting a single cent from me! You lot, come with me!一分钱都别想要！ 你们快跟我来！

You sprint towards the exit of the convenience store as if you were fleeing from a hoard of ELIDs—你以冲出ELID包围圈的速度朝着便利店门口飞奔而去——

Whoosh! Something clamps around your arms and legs, holding you securely in place.咻——什么东西缠住了你的手和腿，将你紧紧拽住了。

Before you register what is happening, you have already completed several revolutions through the air and been deposited safely in the cashier's arms.在你意识到发生什么之前，你已经在空中完成了几圈转体，然后稳稳地落在了便利店小哥的怀里。

Convenience Store CashierHello, that would be 4,000 yen, please.您好，一共4000日元。

The cashier's voice seems to radiate some kind of compelling magic. You obediently fish out the money you got from pawning off what valuables you had earlier.便利店小哥的声音像是有魔力，你乖乖地掏出了之前当掉身上值钱物件换来的钱。

Convenience Store CashierYes, taking 4,000 yen in cash. Would you like the bentos microwaved?好的，收您4000日元。 请问便当需要加热吗？

CommanderYes...嗯……

The cashier puts you down across the counter and starts heating up the bentos.便利店小哥将你放在了收银台外，开始加热便当。

Sakura MinamotoCommander, what just happened?指挥官，刚刚发生什么了？

Saki NikaidoSeriously, what the hell was that?! What's with that levitation?!刚刚那招是什么啊！你怎么做到在空中飞的？！

CommanderI... I don't know either...我……也不知道……

Convenience Store CashierExcuse me, all the bentos have been heated up. Please enjoy your meal.您好，便当已经加热完毕，请慢用。

Still dumbfounded, you collect the bentos and have a simple lunch with Franchouchou. Although you're still not entirely sure what just happened, at least you have had a happy lunch break.你迷茫地接过便当，和法兰秀秀一起享用了一顿简单的午饭。 虽然不太清楚到底发生了什么，但起码你收获了一段快乐日常的中午时光。

You grit your teeth and fish out the money you got from pawning off what valuables you had earlier. Then you push open the door and enter the convenience store.你咬了咬牙，摸出之前当掉身上值钱物件换来的钱，一把推开门走了进去。

Sakura MinamotoCommander...!指挥官……！

You push Lily, who is still standing in a daze in front of the cashier counter, gently but firmly aside.你温和又不失帅气地将站在收银台边呆若木鸡的星川莉莉拉开，走到收银台边。

CommanderI'll foot the bill. 4,000 yen in total, yeah?让我来结账吧，一共4000日元，对吗？

Convenience Store CashierYes.是的。

As you put down your limited cash with feigned nonchalance, you can almost feel your charm go up by 200 points—if such stats exist in this universe.你假装毫不心疼地递出自己为数不多的钞票，感觉自己的帅气值加了200，如果这个世界存在这种数值的话。

Just then, you feel a strong tug on the hem of your coat.这时，你的衣角被谁用力地拽了拽。

Tae YamadaUgh... Argh... (The translator is offline.)啊……啊……（翻译下线中）

CommanderWhat is it, Tae?多惠，怎么了？

Tae places two packets of dried shredded squid on top of the bentos and points at you.山田多惠将两包鱿鱼丝放在了便当上，然后指了指你。

Sakura MinamotoTae, you can't...!多惠！这样不行的……

Tae YamadaAaaaargh... Gah...! (I want them! Buy them for me! Dried shredded squid!)啊啊啊……啊……！（我就要！给我买！鱿鱼丝！）

Commander...Fine. Please include these as well.……好的，这个也一并算下账吧。

Tae mumbles happily, and the two packets of dried shredded squid vanish into thin air in an instant.山田多惠高兴地嘟囔着，将两包鱿鱼丝当场消灭了。

Convenience Store CashierSure thing. That would be 4,200 yen altogether. Taking 4,200 yen in cash. Please take your items. Would you like the bentos microwaved?好的，一共4200日元，收您4200日元，请收好商品。 请问便当需要帮您加热吗？

CommanderYes, please.热一热吧。

Lily HoshikawaThank you, Commander!谢谢你，指挥官！

YugiriBeing cared for makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.被人关照着真是温暖的感觉。

CommanderIt's alright. We're now a team, after all. We're all in this together, through thick and thin.没关系，我们毕竟之后是一个团队了。 同进同退，困难也好，快乐也好，都要一起承担。

The Franchouchou girls' eyes shine with gratitude. You believe you have done the right thing by strengthening your bond with them. Perhaps this will benefit your subsequent work. Perhaps this is the ice-breaker needed for everyone to begin their training, complete the concert, then send you off happily so that you can return to Griffin, where you must be very sorely missed... At the thought of this, you beam contently.法兰秀秀看向你的眼神充满了感激，你认为自己做出了正确的选择，拉近了和她们的距离。 而这或许会对之后的工作开展大有裨益。 说不定接下来就能大家其乐融融地开展训练、完成演唱会、欢笑着送你离开、回到等待你已久的格里芬…… 想到这里，你不由露出了幸福的微笑。

Ai MizunoThank you, Commander. I'll be going then.谢谢你，指挥官，那么我就先走了。

Junko KonnoI also have other matters to attend to. Please enjoy your meal.我也还有些事，你们慢用。

Saki NikaidoThanks for lunch, but don't think you can bribe me with this!谢谢你的午饭，不过可别以为这样就能收买我啊！

CommanderA-are we not eating together?不、不一起吃吗？

Your fantasy is instantly shattered, but at least a few of the girls are staying to have lunch with you.幻想的泡影破灭了，但起码还有几位少女愿意留下来陪你吃午饭。

You end up having a simple lunch accompanied by some pleasant chit-chat. Other than needing to stop Tae from getting another packet of dried shredded squid, it has been a lovely lunch break.在日常的闲聊中，你享用了一顿简单的午餐。 除了需要制止总是想再来一包鱿鱼丝的山田多惠以外，这段时间非常美好。

You let out a low snicker. How dare they gossip about you behind your back. They haven't actually spoken ill of you, but this feeling of being excluded isn't cool at all. You pull a face at the Franchouchou girls' stiff backs through the shop window before turning to find another place to eat.你发出了低沉的笑声，谁让她们背着你讲你的话题，虽然也没有聊你的坏话，但这种被排除在团队外的感觉让你很不爽。 隔着玻璃橱窗对法兰秀秀们僵硬的背影尽情扮鬼脸后，你准备转身离开，换一家饭店。

But just then, Tae turns her head—但在这时，山田多惠回头了——

—and spots you immediately. You can see her inert face light up with elation.她精准地捕捉到了你，你甚至能看清她脸上的表情从呆滞到狂喜的转变。

CommanderShe's going to tell the others I'm here! I gotta leave the scene right now!她要告诉别人我在了！ 我必须立刻消失在现场！

Relying on your abundance of combat experience, you lift your left arm and stride out with your left leg... No, wait, that's rubbish coordination. It should be your right—靠着多年来丰富的战斗经验，你迅速抬起左脚和左手，不对，顺拐了，应该是左手和——

Before you can adjust your movement, your body is already shooting ahead of your brain, and you end up lifting both your legs one after the other within a split second—来不及收回动作，你的身体快于你的思维，已经在一秒内先后抬起了左脚和右脚——

And so, your left leg kicks off on your right leg, which sends you soaring into the convenience store.于是你左脚踩着右脚，飞进了便利店。

Crash! Boom!哗啦——砰——

Tae YamadaUgh... Argh... (Dried shredded squid... Dried shredded squid...)啊……啊……（鱿鱼丝……鱿鱼丝……）

Convenience Store CashierUm... That was quite some impressive agility. Are you alright?那个……这位客人，身手挺不错啊，您没事吧？

CommanderI'm fine... I'm okay...没事……我没事……

You scramble to your feet sheepishly and look over at the Franchouchou girls, who are gawking at you in a daze. To break the awkward silence hanging in the air, you decide to say something.你狼狈地扶着门站起来，看向了正呆滞地望向你的法兰秀秀们。 为了打破这尴尬的局面，你决定开口说点什么。

CommanderWhy don't we have lunch together?我们一起吃个饭吧？

Ai MizunoS... sure...好……好啊……

Lily HoshikawaBut we don't have enough...可是我们没有足够的……

CommanderIt's okay, I'll pay.没关系，我来付就好。

You pull out your wallet reluctantly and pay at the counter.你心痛地掏出钱包，走向收银台付了钱。

This is money you got from pawning off what valuables you had earlier. There isn't much, so spend it wisely.这都是你之前当掉身上值钱物件换来的钱，为数不多，值得珍惜。

Lily HoshikawaThank you, Commander!谢谢你，指挥官！

YugiriCome and sit over here, Commander. We've got a table.指挥官，来这边坐吧，我们已经找好座位了。

CommanderAlright, I'm coming.好的，马上来。

You lose some cash, but you get to enjoy a nice and leisurely lunch break in exchange. A simple lunch accompanied by some pleasant chit-chat.虽然损失了一笔钱，但你换来了一段美好的午饭时光。 在简单的午餐和日常的闲聊中，你度过了悠闲的中午。

57-W1-2 第一天·夜晚 · 57-W1-2

You arrive at the dance studio, and under your inexpert guidance, Yugiri diligently completes her dance training. As you help her stretch, Yugiri starts talking about how dancing styles have changed through eras.你来到练舞厅，在你不熟练的指导下，夕雾认真完成了舞蹈训练。 在你帮她进行拉伸的时候，夕雾聊起了时代变化对舞蹈风格的影响。

In her time, she had to wear heavy costumes and jewelry while dancing, her movements had to be graceful and elegant, and she had to carry herself with a regal, dignified bearing. However, she was not required to perform difficult maneuvers or keep up with rapid tempos.在她生活的时代，她跳舞时需要身着沉重的衣物和装饰，动作需轻柔风雅，仪态要端庄清丽，但并不追求高难度动作和节奏感等。

This piques your curiosity since you have never heard of such things before.你有些好奇，这些对你来说是从未听说过的事情。

After further questioning, you learn that Yugiri was born during the Meiji Restoration era and was once a renowned oiran.在你的再三追问下，你才知道夕雾出生于维新年代，曾是有名的花魁。

While Yugiri does miss the past from time to time, she does prefer life now.夕雾虽然偶尔也会怀念过去，但更喜欢现在的生活。

That's because, for her present self, dancing is a choice she makes for herself, while in the past, she rarely had control over the path she had to take.因为对现在的她而言，跳舞是出于自己的选择，而在过去，脚下的路往往不由自己决定。

57-X1-2 第一天·夜晚 · 57-X1-2

Just then, a tour group arrives. ...这时，一群团体客人走了进来。 ……

The two of them thank you and ask that you continue keeping their secret, because they want to continue encouraging the masses as idols, no matter what.两人对你表示感谢，并希望你能够继续保密，因为她们无论如何都希望以偶像的样子鼓励普通人。

57-D1-2 第一天·夜晚 · 57-D1-2

As you pass by the fast food restaurant, you are attracted by the scent from within and find yourself entering the place.你路过快餐店，被里面的香味吸引，不由自主地走了进去。

After placing your order and sitting down, Tae suddenly appears out of nowhere and takes a seat at your table like it's the most natural thing in the world.在你点好的菜就位后，山田多惠突然出现并自来熟地坐在了你的桌边。

You politely invite her to dine with you. She eats everything you put on the grill, even the eggshells that you ended up putting on the hotplate in frustration.你礼貌性地邀请她和你同吃，你烤一块鸡肉，她就吃一块，最后甚至连你恼羞成怒放进烤盘的鸡蛋壳也照吃不误。

Just as you're about to blow up at her, the serving boy brings Tae the dishes that were specially made for her. You learn from him that Tae became famous after her dance battle with the Drive-In Chicken mascot and thus has special privileges at the restaurant.在你即将愤怒的时候，服务员小哥给多惠端来了特意为她准备的餐点。通过服务员小哥，你才知道，多惠因为和DR鸡的一战而闻名快餐店，得到了特别的优待。

After watching a video of her dance-off, you start to view Tae in a different light, seeing her as the cheat code for Franchouchou's victory. However, Tae herself acts like it's none of her business; she simply clears all the food on the table before sauntering off.看完了决战现场的视频，你对多惠刮目相看，认为她具备让法兰秀秀获胜的密码，但多惠本人却像是局外人一样，把桌面上的食物一扫而空后就潇洒离开了。

57-L1-2 第一天·夜晚 · 57-L1-2

As one who takes comfort in having money, you think about how to make money as you walk.坚信有钱才有安全感的你，在马路上思索着如何赚钱。

You encounter Sakura advertising part-time positions at the entrance of the convenience store, and their generous terms win you over.便利店门口，源樱正吆喝着招募兼职员工，丰厚的待遇令你动心。

After learning that Sakura is working there too, you mention that you'd like to join her to raise funds for Franchouchou.你得知源樱也在这里打工，为法兰秀秀积攒演出资金，提出想要加入她。

Sakura frantically tries to dissuade you, saying that all you need to do is familiarize yourself with your duty as their producer and just leave her to take care of the money.源樱忙不迭地拒绝，让你专心熟悉制作人的工作就好，钱这方面就交给她。

Undeterred, you ask Sakura if she's telling you to focus only on one thing because she's worried you can't handle being the group's producer.你仍想争取机会，询问源樱是否担心你无法胜任制作人，才劝你不要分心。

Sakura says that she has faith in you so quickly and with such conviction it makes you wonder what basis she has for such confidence.源樱急忙表达了对你的信心，坚定的语气令你有些好奇那份信任源自何处。

Sakura confesses that you remind her of how lost and confused she was when she first awoke as a zombie, so encouraging you feels like encouraging herself.源樱袒露，你让她想起了作为僵尸第一次苏醒时茫然无措的自己，鼓励你其实也是在鼓励自己。

You show Sakura your determination, and after a recommendation from her, you begin your life as a Saga part-timer.你向源樱表露了自己的决心，在她的引荐下，你开始了在佐贺的兼职生涯。

As you're stocking the bento shelves, Lily enters the store and eyes the expired bentos you're holding.在你整理便当的货架时，莉莉走进了店里，盯着你手上的过期便当瞧。

When you express confusion about it, Lily mentions that zombies don't get tummy aches, and she's eaten expired bentos back when she was still alive. Back then, she could only watch as the shop assistant threw out their expired bentos. She would give anything to taste them.你面露犹豫，莉莉表示僵尸是不会吃坏肚子的，而且她生前也吃过。 那时候她每天眼巴巴地盼着店员把过期的便当丢掉，让莉莉能尝到它的味道。

You conjure up a tragic melodrama in your mind about how a rising child star was abused and exploited by her parents and her company. You tearfully ask for some advance salary to buy Lily a brand-new deluxe bento.你脑补了一出童星惨遭父母和公司压榨虐待的苦情戏码，心疼地预支薪水给莉莉买了一份新鲜的豪华便当。

Lily casually mentions that everything she just said was just dialogue from a TV serial she had once starred in.莉莉若无其事地说出，刚才那些其实是自己演过的电视剧台词。

As the corner of your mouth twitches, all you can do is sigh internally about what a genius child star she is...你抽动着嘴角，只能感慨，不愧是“天才童星”……

Day 1 – Night 第一天·夜间

After a long and busy day, you decide to go for a walk in the forest park which you still haven't been to. In your time, tall trees are a rarity due to ELID infections. Yet in this park, there are apparently a handful of trees that are over a century old.忙碌了一整天，你决定去还没有去过的森林公园散散步。 你所在的时代，因为ELID辐射污染，已经少有参天大树的存在了。 而这个公园中，据说存在几棵拥有百年树龄的大树。

CommanderI wonder, what do people in this era feel as they gaze up at these massive trees?不知道这个时代的人类，仰望这些大树时，会有什么样的心情？

With your hands clasped behind your back, you stand beneath the lush foliage and peer up at the trees that almost seem to touch the sky.你负手而立，站在茂密的树冠下，仰望大树伸向天空。

The leaves rustle softly in the cool evening breeze, and you occasionally catch a floral aroma in the air. You close your eyes contently as you bask in this bubble of tranquility.在夜晚清凉的风中，树叶发出摩挲的细响，不时还有浅浅的草本香气飘来，你沐浴在这悠闲宁静的时光中，舒适地闭上了双眼。

Whoosh! Something jumps out of the trees. Probably a squirrel? In your time, these woodland critters are also extremely rare. But here in Saga Forest Park, squirrels are still nesting safely in the trees.唰——什么东西跃出了树林。 应该是松鼠吧？你所在的时代里，这些属于森林的小精灵已经变得非常罕见。 但在佐贺的森林公园中，松鼠们的家还安置在树林间。

A squirrel taps you lightly on the face. You can't help but smile. Is this the happiness of being connected with nature?松鼠轻轻拍了拍你的脸，你不禁露出了微笑，这就是和大自然接触的快乐吗？

???Hey, stop grinning like an idiot.喂，别傻笑了。

The squirrel speaks.松鼠说话了。

Wait, the squirrel SPEAKS?等下，松鼠说话了？

NinjaGood evening.晚上好。

A man in a black ninja suit is hanging upside down from a branch less than 10cm away from your face.一个身着黑色忍者服的人倒吊在树干上，脸距离你不超过十厘米。

Before you can let out a startled cry, the ninja has already clamped a hand over your mouth and jumped down nimbly from the tree.在你发出惊叫前，忍者已经捂住你的嘴，灵活地从树干上落了下来。

CommanderWho are you?你是谁？

NinjaA man has no name. Valar morghulis. Valar dohaeris.无名之人。 “valar morghulis” “valar dohaeris”

Commander... Are you sure you're in the right story? Wait, now that I get a good look at you, you look a bit like that guy in the convenience—…… 你是不是走错片场了？细看一下，你长得好像那个便利店的——

NinjaYou're mistaken. This is the first time we've met.你认错人了，这是我们初次见面。

CommanderReally...? So what do you want with me?是吗……那你接近我有什么目的？

NinjaI'm here for you, Commander.我是为你而来的，指挥官。

CommanderDid Kalina send you to come and rescue me?!你是格琳娜派来救我的吗？！

Just the thought of being able to return to Griffin is enough to excite you.光是想到能够立刻回到格里芬基地，你已经激动了起来。

NinjaHush.嘘。

CommanderWhat's wrong?怎么了？

NinjaIt isn't safe here.这里并不安全。

CommanderWhat kind of danger is there? Neither ELID nor Paradeus is present.这里能有什么危险？ 既没有ELID，也没有帕拉蒂斯。

NinjaThis era has its eye on you.这个时代在觊觎你。

CommanderWhat? Why?觊觎我？为什么？

NinjaBecause you possess, at least for the time being, the mightiest power of the era.因为你拥有，或者说暂时拥有，这个时代最强大的力量。

CommanderI do?!我竟然拥有这样的东西？！

NinjaYes, namely..是的，那就是——

CommanderNamely...那就是——

NinjaFRANCHOUCHOU!!!法兰秀秀！！！

Kneeling on one knee, the ninja raises his arms to the sky in a gesture of exaltation. You don't know what to say to his exaggerated behavior, so you just turn around to leave.忍者单膝跪地，双手高举向天空，献上了一个崇高的赞扬。 你看着他夸张的动作欲言又止，最终决定转身离开。

NinjaYou don't believe a word of what I just said. I completely understand.你不相信我所说的一切，我能理解。

Commander...Then let go of my leg.……那就放开我的腿。

NinjaI have been observing you for a long time, Commander. I know you came from another world—what's it called again... Grif—我已经观察你很久了，指挥官。 我知道，你来自另一个世界，格什么来着——

CommanderHow did you know that?你怎么知道？

NinjaYou mentioned it when you talked in your sleep last night.你昨晚说的梦话里提到的。

CommanderWHAT?!你？！

You stop in your tracks, and the ninja finally stops holding onto your leg and gets to his feet.你重新停下脚步，忍者终于松开你的大腿站了起来。

NinjaThat's not the point. The important thing is—I know how to send you back.这个不重要，重要的是，我知道怎么能让你回去。

CommanderHow to send me back? How do I know I can trust you?怎么能让我回去？我凭什么相信你？

The ninja bows to you solemnly and resumes his nonsensical rambling.忍者郑重地行礼，开始自顾自地说话。

NinjaIt all begins with Franchouchou, and it will all end with Franchouchou.一切从法兰秀秀开始，一切也将以法兰秀秀结束。

CommanderWhat do you mean?什么意思？

NinjaThe mightiest power of the era needs to be honed and protected with utmost care.时代最强大的力量，需要最小心的打磨与守护。

CommanderAre you telling me to train the Franchouchou girls properly?意思是让我好好训练法兰秀秀？

NinjaOnly when Franchouchou's light shines upon every corner of this era will your conundrum be solved.唯有让法兰秀秀的光芒照遍这个时代的每一处角落，才能破解你的迷局。

Whoosh! The ninja shoots a grappling hook from the back of his hand into the distance.咻——忍者手背的手甲钩刺向远方。

Then he disappears.紧接着，他的身影就从原地消失了。

CommanderHey, what the hell is that supposed to mean?!喂，你到底说了些啥啊？！

CommanderPeople who speak in freaking riddles should all go to hell!谜语人能不能从这个世界上消失啊！

Fwup! A kunai is now sticking out of the tree trunk next to you. A name card is impaled to the tree.嗖——一枚苦无钉在了你身边的树干上，上面还插着一张名片。

There is only a telephone number on the card. After pocketing the card, you leave the forest park in bemusement and head back to the mansion.名片上只有一个电话号码。 你收下了名片，茫然地走出森林公园，回到了洋房。

By the time you get back, it is already late at night. To avoid waking the girls, you push open the door quietly and slip into the dark living room.你回到洋房时已是深夜，为了不吵醒法兰秀秀，你悄悄推开门，走进了漆黑的大厅。

Click. The lights come on. You realize that all the Franchouchou members have gathered in the living room to await your return.哒——灯亮了。 你发现法兰秀秀聚集在大厅里，似乎在等你回来。

CommanderYou... haven't gone to bed?你们……还没睡呢？

Sakura MinamotoWhere were you? You were out till so late, we thought something bad had happened to you...你去哪里了？这么晚还不回来，我们以为你出了什么意外……

YugiriThe times may be peaceful, but don't let your guard down, Commander.虽然是和平年代，但也不要放松戒备啊，指挥官。

CommanderSorry, I was out on a walk in the Forest Park but got held up.抱歉，我去森林公园散了散步，稍微耽误了下时间。

Seeing the distress on the greenish faces, you can't help but feel a bit guilty.看着法兰秀秀们幽绿的脸色，你的心里多少泛起些愧疚。

Lily HoshikawaYou ran into some weirdo, didn't you?是遇见什么奇怪的人了吗？

CommanderYeah... I actually did, but it was no big deal.嗯……确实是遇见了一个，不过没什么关系。

Saki NikaidoIf you're ever in trouble, just give me a holler.要是遇上什么麻烦，记得叫我。

Saki smacks you heavily on the shoulder, almost knocking you off balance.二阶堂咲重重拍了拍你的肩膀，差点把你捶到地上。

Ai MizunoIf you stick to the main path in the Forest Park, you should be fine.森林公园的话，一直沿着大道走，基本不会有什么问题。

Junko KonnoWe also go for walks there from time to time. It really is a lovely place to relax and unwind.我们有时也会去那里散步，确实是个适合放松的地方。

Tae YamadaUgh... Argh... (I go... too...)啊……啊……（我也……去……）

You feel a rush of tenderness as the concern disappears from their faces and you recall everything you've been through together today.你看着担心从大家的脸上褪去，再想到今日相处的种种，一股柔软的情绪涌上心头。

CommanderYou must be tired from your work and training today. Now go to bed.今天大家训练和打工都很累了，快去睡觉吧。

At your urging, the Franchouchou girls all return to their bedroom and settle in their beds.在你的催促下，法兰秀秀回到自己的房间，乖乖钻进被窝。

FranchouchouGoodnight, Commander.指挥官，晚安。

CommanderGoodnight. I'll see you tomorrow.晚安，明天见。

You switch off the lights, and a calm darkness fills the room once more.你按下了电灯开关，静谧的夜色回到房间。

The strange ninja's words are still echoing inside your head as you make your way back to your room. "The mightiest power of the era." "Honed and protected with utmost care." "When Franchouchou's light shines upon every corner of this era."你走向自己的房间，脑海中还回响着那个奇怪忍者说的话。 “时代最强大的力量” “最小心的打磨与守护” “让法兰秀秀的光芒照遍这个时代的每一处角落”

CommanderYoung girls are destined to change the world in every universe, huh.不管在哪个世界，少女们都难逃改变世界的命运啊。

You look out at the darkness of the night outside the window and let out a sigh.对着窗外深沉的夜色，你忍不住发出感叹。

After some questioning, you learn that Saki is feeling frustrated because her partner (her bike) isn't in great shape.一番询问，才知道二阶堂因为伙伴（摩托）的状况不佳而有些烦恼。

And yet, the two of you end up getting along better through this serendipitous misunderstanding.结果却出奇一致，达成了共识。

57-Y2-1 第二天·上午 · 57-Y2-1

As you mutter, "I can only go back by helping Franchouchou," you arrive at the karaoke box.一遍遍默念着“只有帮助法兰秀秀完成目标才能回去”，你来到了练歌房。

Sakura greets you and you decide to use the sound exercises you found on the net to help Sakura practice.源樱主动和你打了招呼，你打算用自己搜集的声乐练习法帮助源樱练习。

However, you keep forgetting the lyrics and when the material says "breathe from your diaphragm," you end up misspeaking it as "breathe from your back," and you end up feeling intimidated by the incredulity in Sakura's eyes.然而，你总是中途忘词，资料上写着“练习胸腹式呼吸”，你一张嘴却变成了“使用背式呼吸”，在源樱复杂的目光下有些窘迫。

Fortunately, Sakura only asks where you got this information from and you tell her that people in your time are used to getting help from the internet.好在源樱只是询问了你从哪儿找到的资料，你告诉她自己那个年代的人都习惯求助于网络。

She praises your pro-activeness but points out that these methods are too hidebound and basic. Instead she shares her usual practice methods with you.她夸奖了你的积极主动，但表示这些方法过于死板且基础，和你分享了她平时的训练方法。

You commiserate with her on the hardships of having to constantly hide one's true self.你感叹这样躲躲藏藏的生活真是辛苦。

Junko, however, is quite used to it. She mentions how she had to constantly be careful when visiting public places during her past life.

57-D2-1 第二天·上午 · 57-D2-1

You're working part-time at the convenience store and your job is to move the freshly-delivered stock into the storeroom. Back at the base, droids or Dolls would handle all this work and you can't help but miss life in Griffin.你正在便利店打工，负责把刚送到的货物搬运到仓库中。而这一类工作之前都是由基地的搬运机器人或人形来完成，你不由开始想念在格里芬的生活。

Just then, you feel the pushcart behind you getting lighter. When you look back, you see that Tae is easily pushing it along.这时，你感觉到身后小推车的重量一轻，回头望去，发现是多惠轻松地拎着在走。

As you watch, dumbfounded, Tae single-handedly finishes your job.在你目瞪口呆的注视下，多惠一个人完成了你的工作。

You feel a little moved as you watch Tae being hard at work. You assume she's helping you because of that speech from last night about how everyone had to work together.看着多惠辛勤劳动的背影，你有些感动，认为多惠是听了昨晚大家要一起努力的宣言，现在才会主动帮助你。

In gratitude, you head out and buy two packets of dried shredded squid for Tae.为了表达谢意，你离开去便利店给多惠买了两袋鱿鱼丝。

When you return—等你回来的时候——

You find that she has eaten all the dried shredded squid in the stock you just moved. You freeze in shock, and just as you're about to run off with Tae—刚搬运好的货物中的鱿鱼丝已经被多惠吃光了，你当场懵住，想要带着多惠逃走——

Day 2 – Noon 第二天·中午

A busy morning has passed in the blink of an eye. You rushed over to the convenience store before you even had breakfast, so you're now desperate for a big and filling lunch. Even though you still haven't completely accepted Saga as your new home, you are more or less starting to get used to life in this place. Except...充实的上午转瞬就过去了，没来得及吃早饭的你早早就赶到便利店，准备饱餐一顿。 虽然还没有完全接受佐贺，但你多少已经开始习惯起了这边的生活。 除了——

CommanderIf only I could have Springfield's coffee...要是还能喝到春田的咖啡就好了……

You sigh as you jiggle the cup of instant coffee you just bought from the convenience store. Calling it coffee may be a bit too generous. It is just some dark fluid with no taste, no aroma, and a pathetic amount of caffeine. But you'll still take SOME caffeine over none at all.你叹了口气，摇晃着手中刚从便利店买来的速溶咖啡。 也许不该称其为咖啡，这不过是杯风味、香气尽失，连咖啡因都少得可怜的黑色液体罢了。 而以现在的状况，你连这一点咖啡因也不舍得放过。

CommanderHow much longer will I have to live like this?还要过多久这样的日子啊？

You sigh again. Just as you are about to down the last drop of the dark fluid...你叹了口气，在你准备喝掉最后一点黑色液体时——

???Hey, stop drinking that kind of pigswill.喂，别喝这种涮锅水了。

Your cup is snatched away by an unfamiliar girl and replaced with another cup of coffee.杯子被一个陌生的少女拿走了，手中转而被塞入了另一杯咖啡。

???Try this coffee endorsed by my aidoru! This one's on me.来试试我爱豆代言的咖啡吧！免费送你的。

???Big Sis!姐姐大人！

CommanderHuh?啊？

???Kitty, hoover, gray hair dye!猫咪，吸尘器，灰色染剂！

Before you can respond, the girl shifts her hands and now they form an inverted triangle.在你做出回应前，少女变换手势，做出了倒三角形的手势。

???Angle of the bangs!刘海角度！

???Green shoots, gossip, hair straighteners!绿芽，八卦，直发夹！

You now understand this girl is probably a stan of a certain idol group. You want to leave, but ultimately decide to stay a little longer just because of the coffee.你已经明白，这位少女应该是某个偶像团体的狂热粉丝，你本想走开，但是看在咖啡的份上，还是勉强多站了一会。

The girl moves her hands again, now forming a star with them.少女又一次变换了手势，做出了五角星的图案。

Die-Hard FanRed all over! Red wine, red light, red alert!红通通！ 红酒，红光，红色警报！

After going through the whole routine, the girl smoothly shoves a poster into your hands.一套流程完整走完后，少女行云流水地将一张宣传海报塞到了你的手里。

Die-Hard FanThat's right, we are the flammable and explosive solvents in coffee—Late Night Café! My aidorus are having a concert here tomorrow! Make sure you come and show your support if you've got the time~!没错，我们就是咖啡中的易燃易爆溶剂，夜间咖啡馆！ 我的爱豆们明天在这里会有演唱会，有机会的话一定要去捧场哦~

Commander...Sure, I'll be there.……好的，一定。

After giving you a salute, the girl picks up her promotional posters and idol-endorsed coffee and leaves the convenience store in a rush. You smile as you look down at the coffee in your hand. The intricate packaging features the image of a singing girl.少女敬了个礼，背上宣传海报和爱豆代言的咖啡就匆匆离开了便利店。 你笑了笑，看向手中的咖啡，印刷精美的包装上是一名正在高歌的少女。

Your smile freezes when you take a proper look at the girl's face.看清少女容貌之后，你的笑容凝固了。

Convenience Store CashierExcuse me, your bento is ready.您好，您的便当已经热好了。

You immediately unfurl the poster given to you by the crazy fan. Three beaming girls are holding out their hands to you. Tears start welling up in your eyes.你立刻打开了狂热粉丝塞给你的海报，三名笑容灿烂的少女正向你伸出手来。 你的眼眶湿润了。

Convenience Store CashierExcuse me? Um... Your bento...您好？那个……您的便当……

You are utterly speechless. You grip your coffee so tight it spills out everywhere.你说不出话来，手中喷溅开的咖啡已经代替你回答了一切。

Convenience Store CashierOh! Quick, get the mop...啊！快拿拖布来……

Your hands are shaking violently. Euphoria races through your veins. You feel laughter bubbling up from within, threatening to overcome you.你的手剧烈颤抖着，狂喜冲刷着你的每一根血管，你几乎快要不能自已地笑出声。

CommanderThank goodness... Thank goodness...太好了……太好了……

You keep muttering to yourself as you exit the convenience store. The image on the poster is seared into your brain. You can clearly see all of their faces.你喃喃自语着走出了便利店。 海报上的内容已经深深刻入了你的脑海，每一个成员的脸庞都清晰可见。

HMG21...HK21……

JS05...JS05……

PM-06...PM06……

CommanderThey've come to save me... Jeez, they're even disguising themselves as an idol group for this rescue mission. Complete a secret mission without disrupting this world—I've taught them well!她们一定是来救我了…… 真是的，为了来营救我，还特意乔装成偶像团体。 既不会影响当地的秩序，又能暗中完成任务，我平常没有白教啊！

You start laughing and hopping about in the warm afternoon sun. Their concert is tomorrow. No matter what, you are going to meet them, then you can return to Griffin and your original life. You are so overjoyed that you have forgotten to take the dried shredded squid you bought for Franchouchou and your own bento.对着午后温暖的阳光，你放肆地蹦跳着，大笑了起来。 明天就是她们的演唱会，不论如何，你都会去见她们，然后就可以一起回到格里芬，回到原来的日常了。 你实在是太过于欢欣，以至于连买给法兰秀秀的鱿鱼丝都和自己的便当都忘记拿了。

But right now, you couldn't care less about that.但此刻的你，毫不在意。

You apologize to Ai for your behavior on the first day and promise that you'll take the job seriously.你向小爱为第一天的态度道歉，并向其承诺自己会认真对待工作。

After the Late Night Café video ends, the player app automatically plays another video, which happens to be a drama starring Lily.夜间咖啡馆的视频结束后，播放器自动跳转了收藏列表中的下一个视频，居然是莉莉参演的电视剧。

Lily immediately jumps to her feet and closes the window, saying "kids shouldn't watch TV for too long."莉莉立马弹起，关掉了设备，表示小孩子不能看太长时间电视。

You voice your disappointment, but Lily replies that it is just a lame show and that she only had those videos bookmarked because they reminded her of the time she spent with her Pappy.你有点可惜，莉莉却说这部很无聊，她收藏它们只是因为想起了那时候和父亲朝夕相伴的时光。

You're at a bit of a loss for how to react after realizing you've accidentally stumbled across Lily's fragile side.意外触碰到莉莉脆弱的一面，让你有点手足无措。

Junko pauses briefly in her practice to take in this comical scene, and in the end she saves you with a packet of dried shredded squid.纯子也暂停练习观看这滑稽的一幕，最后她用一袋鱿鱼丝替你解了围。

Junko seems vexed by the music's lack of punch, but she doesn't plan to discuss matters with you. Clearly, she has not acknowledged your professional abilities yet.纯子似乎苦恼于音乐缺少爆发力，但并不打算和你商量，显然还未认可你的专业实力。

Tae pounds the ground behind you as Junko continues her practice, and at first you think she wants more dried squid.纯子接着练习后，多惠在你背后拍打着地面，你原以为她是想要鱿鱼丝。

Slowly, you manage to make out a rhythm from Tae's pounding, which syncs up very well with Junko's voice.渐渐地，你从多惠的拍打中听出了某种节奏，和纯子的歌声正匹配。

You share this insight with Junko, and for the first time she seems to approve of you.你将自己的发现分享给纯子，第一次得到了纯子的肯定。

The two of you plan to thank Tae for paying attention to Junko's practice.你们想要感谢多惠对纯子练习的关注。

However, Tae instead flings herself at Junko's head like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, causing the latter much distress.多惠却饿虎扑食般啃起了纯子的头，让纯子十分崩溃。

You pass by the bathhouse and encounter Yugiri as she is leaving.你路过浴场，偶遇了刚从里面出来的夕雾。

She grows concerned about your feelings after noticing your frazzled mental state.见你心烦意乱，她关心起了你的情绪。

Thus, you tell her about Late Night Café while leaving out your ties to them.于是你向她讲述了夜间咖啡馆的事，但隐瞒了你和夜间咖啡馆的关系。

You're very curious about where Yugiri learned all this, but she simply smiles and says nothing.你很好奇夕雾是如何打探消息的，但她只是笑而不语。

Before you leave, she hands you a scented pouch, saying she got it from the bathhouse. Supposedly, placing it beside your pillow will help calm your mind.离别之时，她将一包香薰送给你，说是从浴场要来的，放在枕边可以宁神安心。

After returning to the mansion, you open the scented pouch, only to notice a slip of paper stuffed inside. The elegant handwriting on it reads— Firefly's light flickers, fading into the darkness, yet solitude remains. The flickering light of the firefly, appearing and disappearing at one-foot intervals, vanishes into the darkness, reminding me that no light shines forever.你回到洋房后准备打开香薰使用，发现了夹在香薰里的纸条。上面用娟秀的字迹写着—— 流萤断续光，一明一灭一尺间，寂寞何以堪。 萤火虫只肯吝惜地给予片刻幽幽的光芒，就迫不及待地陷入夜色中，如果被给予的光芒是这样转瞬即逝的话，还不如一直被漆黑的夜色包围。

You help her give out the flyers but find that most people aren't interested in Franchouchou. Instead, they're discussing how Late Night Café is coming to Saga to perform.你陪她一起发着传单，却发现许多人对你们兴致缺缺，都在议论夜间咖啡馆来佐贺演出的事情。

In the crowd, a familiar person is praising Late Night Café to the heavens, talking about all the international awards they've won and so on.人群之中，有个眼熟的人正将夜间咖啡馆吹得天花乱坠，拿了许多国际大奖云云。

You quickly ask her more about Late Night Café but she does not answer.你连忙追问那个人有关夜间咖啡馆的消息，她却避而不答。

You feel a little guilty and try to console Sakura by telling her that you were just collecting information. Supposedly, Late Night Café was formed by a bunch of amateurs. Franchouchou and Sakura will surely surpass them in the future.你有些内疚，安抚着源樱，自己只是在打听情报，听说夜间咖啡馆也是从业余的爱好者发展起来的，将来源樱和法兰秀秀一定能超越她们。

When you look back, that strangely-dressed person is gone.再一回头，那个奇怪打扮的人已经不见了。

Day 2 – Night 第二天·夜间

The morning has put you in a lively and cheerful mood, but right now, you are feeling deeply troubled. You've been impatient to meet your Dolls ever since you saw Late Night Café's poster. You've even let this anxiety seep into the afternoon and your time with Franchouchou. Some of the more astute members have probably noticed your strange mood, but no one blames you. Even though you have an agreement with them.和上午神清气爽的心情完全不同，此刻的你心烦意乱。 自从中午看见了夜间咖啡馆的海报，你就迫不及待地想要去见到自己的人形。 甚至还将这份焦虑带到了下午和法兰秀秀相处的时间中，或许她们中也有人敏锐地察觉到了你微妙的心情，但却没有人指责你。 明明你们之间有着约定。

CommanderSigh... Never thought I'd be put in such a dilemma...哎……没想到陷入了这么两难的境地……

You walk into a public phone booth and dial the number on the name card that the ninja gave you the previous night.你走进公用电话亭，拨通了昨晚忍者留给你的名片上的电话。

Ninja...I presume you are referring to the Late Night Café who swept up all the Krammy, Global Musical Awards, and Idol Academy Awards just three months after their debut?……你说的，是那个出道三个月就斩获美格莱、全球音乐奖、偶像学院奖的夜间咖啡馆？

CommanderUh... I suppose.呃……应该是吧。

NinjaThe Late Night Café whose debut album "Killing Mobs and Leveling Up in Griffin" has been dominating the charts for 24 week straight?是那个靠出道专辑《我在格里芬打怪升级》，连续24周霸榜中国大喇叭专辑榜冠军的夜间咖啡馆？

The line goes dead... The ninja has abruptly hung up. You are feeling confused when you find the ninja already standing outside the phone booth.嘟嘟嘟…… 对面突兀地挂断了电话。 在你疑惑时，忍者已经出现在了电话亭外。

CommanderHow long have you been here?你什么时候来的？

The ninja is uncharacteristically quiet. You realize the sudden bombshell you just dropped on him could be a bit too much.忍者一反常态地沉默。 你意识到，可能是突如其来的海量信息让他疑惑了。

CommanderAs you know, I'm from another universe, and Late Night Café is my—你知道，我来自另一个世界，夜间咖啡馆就是我在那边的——

NinjaYou don't have to explain, I understand it all.你不用解释，我都知道。

NinjaI have had such dreams as well.我也做过这样的梦。

CommanderIT'S NOT A DREAM!这不是梦！

CommanderThat's exactly right!对对对！

NinjaBut when I woke up one day, I found myself in tranquil Saga. Now you must lead a group of talented girls full of dreams to conquer the world with beautiful song and dance...但是一觉醒来，我竟然来到了和平时代的佐贺，带领一群充满梦想的天才少女，用曼妙的歌声和舞姿让整个世界为我们折服……

CommanderUh... That sounds a bit weird, but that's pretty much the gist of it.嗯……好像哪里不太对，但差不多是这个意思。

NinjaWe've all had such dreams before. But now that our eyes are wide open, we must learn to accept reality as it is.这样的梦，我们都曾经有过。 但是睁开眼睛后，我们都要学会接受骨感的现实。

CommanderNo! I really am—不是！我是真的——

The ninja starts muttering under his breath, then he produces a handful of powder from his waist pouch...忍者嘴里念念有词，手伸向腰包抓出一把粉末——

...And smacks it onto your forehead.然后拍在了你的额头上。

CommanderWhat are you doing?!你在干什么！

Sakura MinamotoI hope we have the stage presence to handle this...不知道我们压不压得住场呢……

You've stopped paying attention to the Franchouchou girls' conversation. You are completely transfixed by the three familiar faces. HMG21, JS05, and PM-06.你已经听不见法兰秀秀的议论声了，你满眼只有那三张熟悉的脸庞。 HK21、JS05、PM06。

CommanderIt's finally time...终于到了这个时候了……

You clench your fists in excitement, but then...你兴奋地握紧了双拳，但没想到——

A hand wraps itself around your fist, then another, and another...一双手覆盖在了你的拳头之上，接着是第二双、第三双……

All the Franchouchou girls have placed their hands on your fist. You look up at their smiling faces in shock.法兰秀秀将自己的双手都叠放在了你的拳头之上，你看向她们的笑脸有些错愕。

Saki NikaidoOur opponent will be Late Night Café! Here we come!!!对手是夜间咖啡馆，冲啊！！！

CommanderFranchouchou!法兰秀秀！

You look back up at the Franchouchou members' thrilled and hopeful faces, and guilt gnaws quietly at your conscience.你附和着氛围喊出了口号。 洋溢着欢乐、紧张的大厅中，你悄悄看向海报上的熟悉面庞。 再次回望法兰秀秀兴奋不已、充满希望的脸颊，你的心里悄悄生出了几分愧疚。

You don't understand why Ai needs to make it into a showdown. From your point of view, all Franchouchou needs is exposure and a chance to perform. It's a win-win situation.你不理解小爱一定要分高下的想法。因为对你来说，只要能制造演出的机会，法兰秀秀就可以得到曝光率，完全是双赢的局面。

However, the next show on the schedule turns out to be a haunted house exploration show, and the sudden appearance of a scary face makes Lily's heart leap up to her throat.没想到下一个节目是鬼屋探险，凭空冒出的惨败的面庞，让莉莉的小心脏都蹦出了胸口。

You shake your head and tell her that all effort will bear fruit, and that it is precisely because of these setbacks that Sakura is always the first to comfort others when they're feeling down. You also state that you'll do your best to protect her from her bad luck, just like what you did back at the karaoke box.你摇摇头，所有的努力都会有结果，而且正是这些挫折，才让源樱总能在大家低落时第一个安慰她们，你也会努力一直像刚才那样在厄运面前保护她。

Die-Hard FanYou don't mean... what are they called again? Franchouchou?不会是那个……什么法兰秀秀吧？

Stage 3 -Point1 第三天·夜晚 · 3-Point1

You arrive at the karaoke place, but instead of heading straight to the box that Franchouchou is renting, you sneak all the way up to Late Night Café's room. After confirming your targets through the glass on the door, you fling the door open and dash inside in excitement.你来到了练歌房，和往常不同的是，你没有直奔法兰秀秀租下的房间，而是一路鬼鬼祟祟地摸索到了夜间咖啡馆的房间。 透过房门玻璃确认目标之后，你兴奋地撞开门冲了进去。

CommanderJS05, PM-06! I'm here!JS05，PM06！我来找你们了！

PM-06?...Who are you?……你是？

This isn't playing out like the teary reunion that you imagined. The two familiar girls stare at you in bemusement.和想象中含泪相拥的场面完全不同，两张熟悉的脸疑惑地看向你。

CommanderI'm the Commander! Don't you recognize me?我是指挥官啊，你们不认得我了？

JS05?What commander? Have we met? Or have we worked together before?什么指挥官？我们见过面吗，曾经合作过？

CommanderYou... Back at the base, you'd pester me every day about what's different about your bangs. You even gave me a new shirt for Lunar New Year.你…… 在基地的时候，你明明每天都揪着我问，今天的刘海和昨天有什么不一样。 还有上次过年的时候，你还送了我新的衬衫来着。

JS05?What are you talking about?! You just made that all up, didn't you?!你在胡说八道些什么！都是你想象出来的吧！

PM-06?It does sound like something you'd do.听着倒像是你会做的事。

CommanderAnd you... You'd drink up all of the red wine in my secret stash every time you come into my office. Once you got so drunk, you somehow managed to get your hands on some red paint and splashed it all over my walls!还有你…… 每次来我的指挥室都把我藏起来的红酒喝光。 上次喝多了，不知道从哪里搞了几桶红油漆把我的整个指挥室全部漆成了红色！

PM-06?Huh?哈啊？

JS05?Hahahahahaha! I can totally see you doing such stupid things!哈哈哈哈哈！你绝对做得出来这种蠢事！

PM-06?I don't even know you, and I certainly haven't drunk your wine!我根本不认识你，也没喝过你的红酒！

CommanderWhat on earth is happening...? Without my authorization, your neural clouds couldn't have been reset...怎么会这样…… 你们没有我的权限，是不可以重置心智云图的啊……

The familiar girls burst out laughing while a feeling of dread wells up. They have no memory of you. Judging by their reaction, they really don't know you.熟悉的少女们哈哈大笑起来，你的心却阵阵发冷。 她们没有和你相关的记忆。 从她们的表情和动作来看，她们确实不认识你。

JS05?So... you know everything about us?你是不是……对我们的所有信息都了如指掌？

CommanderYes, I have your complete profiles on my tablet, but I lost it when I got transported here.是，我的终端上有你们的完整履历，但我被带到这里的时候，终端不见了。

PM-06?Does that include our height, weight, measurements, birthday, itinerary, and status?包括身高、体重、三维、出生日期、行踪、动态等？

CommanderWell, I'm always aware of what you're up to thanks to the Zener Protocol.因为有齐纳协议，你们的动向我很清楚。

PM-06?I think I get it.我好像明白了。

CommanderYou finally know what's going on?!你知道这是怎么回事了吗？！

JS05?Yep! Basically...嗯！那就是——

CommanderBasically...?就是——

JS05?You're a stalker!你是私生饭！

CommanderHuh?!啊？！

PM-06?Security! Over here! We have a stalker here!来人啊！保镖！有私生饭闯入！

Beep-beep-beep! The alarm goes off.嘀嘀嘀——急促的警报声响起。

You can hear the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the far end of the corridor. If you get captured here, you may end up missing the performance tonight. You won't be able to help Franchouchou complete their opening act, nor will you get to meet the other members of Late Night Café.你能听见走廊尽头响起的狂奔的脚步声。 要是在这里被抓住的话，你可能会错过晚上的演出，不仅无法帮助法兰秀秀完成暖场演出，也见不到其他夜间咖啡馆成员。

CommanderThis is a misunderstanding! I'm really not a stalker!你们误会了！ 我真的不是啊！

JS05?Here! Hurry!在这里！快来啊！

PM-06?Security!!!保镖保镖保镖！！！

At this point, you have no choice but to leave first and resolve this misunderstanding later.事已至此，你只能先离开这里，等之后再来解释这个误会了。

Digging into your years of combat experience, you start making your retreat—A. Left arm, left leg, right arm, right leg.B. Left arm, right leg, right arm, left leg.C. Do a series of backflips.D. Perform a vanishing act.拥有多年战斗经验的你，摆出了撤退的架势——A 左手左脚右手右脚B 左手右脚右手左脚C 连续后空翻D 使用隐身术

In the face of the bodyguards charging at you, you remain calm and perform a vanishing act nonchalantly... Only to suddenly realize that you don't actually possess this particular skill.面对赶来的保镖，你稳如泰山，面色平淡地发动了隐身术—— 然后意识到，你并没有习得这项武艺。

To save your dignity, your only option is to jump out of the window. Fortunately, the karaoke box is on the second floor, but unfortunately, the garbage point is right below the window. You limp back to the mansion while stinking to high heaven.为了挽回颜面，你只好从练歌房的窗户翻出，逃离现场。 幸运的是，练歌房在二楼，但不幸的是，楼下是垃圾站。 你浑身臭气冲天、一瘸一拐地逃回了洋房。

You break into a run without the slightest hesitation. Your movements are so snappy and cool, even the bodyguards gasp in admiration. To avoid further pursuit, you only stop after running for a very long time.你毫不犹豫地开跑，姿势帅气潇洒，你甚至听见了保镖们的啧啧称奇。 为了不被发现踪迹，你跑了很久才停下脚步。

Only then do you realize that in the heat of the moment, you'd forgotten to put down the microphone stand in the karaoke box before you took off running. And so you have created a new urban legend about the "dashing mic stand" in Saga.这时，你才发现，因为逃跑的时候过于紧张，你将练歌房的话筒架也扛上了—— 从此你在佐贺留下了“狂奔的话筒架”的传说。

You draw in a deep breath, then stun the incoming bodyguards by executing a series of backflips. They are so awe-struck that they actually step aside and let you make your exit without stopping you.你深吸一口气，气沉丹田，然后用一连串的后空翻震慑住了赶来的保镖。 他们惊讶地为你让开了路，你得以畅通无阻地离开现场。

But on your ninth backflip, your waist produces a terrible crack, and you lose all strength in your back. Once you hit the floor, you stay down and resort to crawling away on all fours. Luckily, instead of taking advantage of your injury and jumping you, the bodyguards all shriek and flee in terror.但在做到第9个后空翻时，你的腰发出咔哒一声，导致你无法再用腰发力，只能顺势趴下，以四肢爬行的方式离开。 幸运的是，赶来围堵你的保镖没有对你动手，反而都惊声尖叫着逃跑了。

You can barely hear them screaming some Japanese name. And so you have created a new urban legend about "Kayako at the Karaoke" in Saga.你隐约听见他们在喊什么椰子的—— 从此你在佐贺留下了“练歌房的伽椰子”的传说。

You break into a run without the slightest hesitation. Unfortunately, you start off with the wrong arm and leg.你毫不犹豫地开跑，但不幸的是，你在一开始匹配错了手脚。

You somehow manage to get away from JS05 and PM-06 with your janky movements in a sprint.你只好以顺拐的姿势，百米冲刺的速度，消失在了JS05和PM06的眼前。

They didn't recognize you. It is so heartbreaking that tears come streaming down your face. You don't want passers-by to see you being so vulnerable, so you increase your speed. And so you've created a new urban legend about the "Uncoordinated Takeaway Rider in Tears" in Saga.想到她们竟然不认识你，伤心欲绝的你落下了眼泪，不愿被路人看见你脆弱的一面，你加快了速度—— 从此你在佐贺留下了“哭泣的顺拐骑手”的传说。

Stage 3 -Point2 第三天·夜晚 · 3-Point2

By the time you make it to the fast food restaurant, the place is already completely packed.你来到了快餐店门口，这里已经排得水泄不通。

You shove your way through the throng, elbowing quite a few enthusiastic Coffee Lovers in the head, and you finally catch a glimpse of HMG21 from far away.你努力凑上前，拨开前方热情的咖啡粉的脑袋，看见了前方远远小小的HK21。

HMG21Big Sis!姐姐大人！

Coffee LoverKitty, hoover, gray hair dye!猫咪，吸尘器，灰色染剂！

CommanderHMG21!HK21！

Your shouts are drowned out by the Coffee Lovers' ardent cheers. To draw HMG21's attention, you have no choice but to push yourself all the way to the very front.你的呐喊被淹没在咖啡粉的热情尖叫中。 为了让HK21看见你，你只好拼命挤到前面的排队行列中。

The queue coils back and forth like a worm. It is sometimes broken by someone jumping the queue, and a new segment emerges. You glare angrily at someone who is cutting in before you. You are just about to tell them off for having no manners when you recognize the figure.队伍像是一条蚯蚓，盘旋前行，还会被强行插队的人斩断，长出新的一截。 你愤懑地瞪着前面插队的人，正准备骂没素质的时候，看见了熟悉的背影。

Die-Hard FanKitty, hoover, gray hair dye!猫咪，吸尘器，灰色染剂！

She keeps shouting the fan slogan as she slips into the queue smoothly.她高声喊着应援语，假装路过一般完成了插队。

Food Delivery ManKitty, hoover, gray hair dye!猫咪，吸尘器，灰色染剂！

Yet another familiar face has jumped the queue. Seeing that everyone is behaving in such an uncivilized manner, you decide to... Stay in the queue.又一个眼熟的人完成了插队。 眼见大家都如此没有素质，你决定—— 乖乖地继续排队。

After god knows how long, when your legs have gone numb, it's finally almost your turn. The delivery man in front of you is grasping HMG21's hand enthusiastically.不知道过了多久，你的腿已经失去知觉，终于快要轮到你了。 前面的外卖小哥激动地握住HK21的手。

Food Delivery ManWaifu! You are my one and only waifu! I love you! Please sign your autograph here!老婆！你是我唯一的老婆！ 我好喜欢你，请在这里给我签个名吧！

HMG21Thank you for your support!感谢你的喜欢！

HMG21 maintains her perfect smile as she signs her name on the man's T-shirt. He leaves with a stupidly happy grin.HK21保持着完美的微笑，在外卖小哥的T恤上签下了名字。 外卖小哥带着幸福到模糊的笑容，离开了现场。

You immediately step forward and come up to HMG21.你立刻跨步上前，站在了HK21面前。

HMG21Hello~你好~

CommanderHMG21, it's me!HK21，是我！

HMG21What is your name?怎么称呼？

CommanderI'm your Commander!我是你的指挥官啊！

HMG21Sure, Commander. Would you like a handshake, an autograph, or a photo together?好的，指挥官，请问这边是需要握手、签名还是合影呢？

CommanderSave me! Get me back to the Griffin base!救我啊！快带我回格里芬基地！

HMG21Huh...?诶……

HMG21's face freeze in shock for a second before reverting back to her signature perfect smile.HK21露出了片刻的惊愕，但转而就被完美的招牌笑容代替。

HMG21I see. Roleplay it is, then?我明白了，角色扮演是吗？

CommanderHuh?啊？

HMG21 leans in and raises her phone. She makes an exaggerated scared face and takes a selfie.HK21走到你身边，举起手机，做出惊恐的表情，然后按下了拍照。

Click.咔嚓——

HMG21Done. All the photos will be available on my official fan website later. Remember to download it.拍好了，之后会在我的应援官网上发出喔，请记得下载。

CommanderWhat? Hold on, you don't understand!什么？等一下，你不明白！

HMG21Next~下一位~

Before you can say anything, the Coffee Lover behind you has already shoved you out of the queue. You can only stare speechlessly as HMG21 gets farther and farther away.你还想说什么，但已经被后面的咖啡粉肘击出了队伍。 看在越来越遥远的HK21，你哑然无语。

Day 3 – Night 第三天·夜间

The performance will start in five minutes. Franchouchou is already waiting at the wings.距离演出开始还有五分钟，法兰秀秀已经前去舞台后方等候。

After sending them off, you wander into the backstage area on your own and make a beeline for Late Night Café's VVVIP dressing room.你送走她们之后，独自来到后台，直奔夜间咖啡馆的VVVIP准备室——

The members of Late Night Café are not in the room. Instead, you find a lone woman working at a desk with a frown. All the lines you have been rehearsing are instantly stuck in the back of your throat as the sight of that familiar face renders you speechless. For a second, it's almost as if you were back at the Griffin base, walking into the command center and greeting her like you always do every morning—房间里并没有夜间咖啡馆的身影，只有一个人坐在桌边蹙着眉办公。 你早就酝酿好的台词生硬地卡在了喉咙中，你看着那张无比熟悉的脸，什么也说不出来。 恍惚间，你以为自己回到了格里芬基地，就如平常一样，走进指挥室的门，对着每天都会见面的她说——

CommanderKalina...格琳娜……

Kalina?Hm?嗯？

Kalina's fingers stop tapping on the keyboard. Her frown deepens.格琳娜迷惑地停下了敲击键盘，本就蹙着的眉头皱得更深。

CommanderI finally get to see you... I'm so sorry. You must have worked very hard to find me these last few days...我终于见到你了…… 抱歉，这几天，你一定找我找得很辛苦吧……

You walk up to Kalina and take her hands.你走到格琳娜的身边，握住她的双手。

CommanderHow did you track me down? Please get me back to the Griffin base! I promise I will never pretend to be sick and dump all the work on you again.你们是怎么找到这里的？快带我回格里芬基地吧！ 我保证，以后再也不装病把工作都推给你了。

Kalina gives you a long hard look, then she frees her hands from your grip.格琳娜意味深长地盯着你，然后从你的手中抽走自己的手。

Kalina?Excuse me, who are you?请问你是哪位？

CommanderDon't you remember me? I'm the Commander...你不记得我了吗？我是指挥官啊……

Kalina?Commander?指挥官？

CommanderYou remember!你想起来了！

Kalina's eyes flash with a familiar glint.格琳娜的眼中迸发出了熟悉的金光。

Kalina?Don't tell me... you're from the military?!难道……您是军方的代表？！

Kalina?Do you have gigs for us? Both Late Night Café and Gray Tree have available slots in their schedules for the next few months~请问是有什么演出的机会想要给到我们吗？ 未来几个月，夜间咖啡馆和灰树都是有档期的~

CommanderI'm a Griffin Commander; I have nothing to do with the military. You're my adjutant! Do you really not remember anything?我是格里芬基地的指挥官，和军方没有关系。 你可是我的副官啊，你什么都不记得了吗？

Kalina?Griffin? Sounds like a penniless place...格里芬基地？听上去就散发着贫穷的气息啊……

Commander... Dammit, I can't argue with that.…… 该死的，竟无法反驳。

Kalina?Sweetie, if your booking budget is less than 10 million yen, then don't waste my time.亲爱的，如果你的演出预算低于1000万日元，就不要再浪费我的时间了。

Kalina resumes her busy typing. You have to say something to get her attention again.格琳娜的手回到了忙碌的键盘上，你得说些什么把她的注意力吸引回来。

Commander...A. I have a little proposition.B. I can give you a job with better pay.C. We're very close.……A 我有1个小目标B 我可以为你提供收入更高的工作C 我们之间有深厚的感情基础

CommanderAs far as I know, the profit generated by idol groups mostly goes to the idols and their labels in this industry. As a manager, you don't get a very big slice of the pie.没有记错的话，市面上大多数情况，偶像们的收入主要是归偶像和公司所有，你作为经纪人是分不了多少钱的。

Kalina?That is how the idol group business model generally works, yes.市面上的偶像团队基本是这样配置的。

CommanderCome work for me instead. Easy work, high salary, plus several paid holidays per year.来为我工作吧，内容轻松，薪酬高昂，一年还有几次带薪假期。

Kalina?What exactly does the job entail?具体的工作内容呢？

CommanderJust work with me to repel the occasional Sangvis Ferri intruders. As for your salary, it's entirely up to you as you will be given full control over the finances of the Griffin base.配合我偶尔驱逐下误入的铁血小队就行。 至于薪酬，你将得到整个格里芬基地的财政大权。

Kalina?Hahaha, you're funny.哈哈哈，你真是个有趣的人。

CommanderWhat makes you say that?为什么这么说？

Kalina turns her laptop around to show you the screen.格琳娜将自己的电脑屏幕转向你。

Kalina?You're probably not aware, but I'm nothing like the managers working for other idol groups. Not only am I the manager of Late Night Café and Gray Tree, I am also the CEO of Kalina Entertainment Ltd.你可能有所不知，我和其他偶像团队的经济人不同—— 我不仅是夜间咖啡馆和灰树的经纪人，还是格琳娜娱乐有限公司的CEO。

CommanderWhat?! You... you now own a company?什么？！你……当老板了？

Kalina?Every cent they make goes to me.她们赚的每一分钱，都属于我。

CommanderHow can you be so devious?! Does labor law mean nothing to you?!你太黑心了！当劳动法不存在吗？！

Kalina guffaws maniacally and reaches out to press the security alarm by the table...格琳娜发出了狂妄的笑声，她的手同时摸向了桌边的报警器——

CommanderI've already come up with some target phases for our joint venture.关于我们之间的合作计划，我早就想好了阶段目标。

Kalina?Target phases?阶段目标？

CommanderTo start with, I've set a modest goal for the first phase of our collaboration.首先，为我们的初期合作定一个小目标。

Kalina?And what would that be? If you mean dominating the Japanese market, then been there, done that.什么小目标？占领日本市场什么的，我们可是早就做到了。

CommanderMake a profit of 100 million.先挣它一个亿。

Kalina's eyes light up for a second before darkening again.格琳娜眼中的金光只闪烁了一瞬就熄灭了。

Kalina?I have a mounting suspicion that you're trying to scam me.我怀疑你在诈骗我。

CommanderAren't you going to ask me how I intend to achieve this goal?你不先问问我如何实现这个小目标吗？

Kalina?I'm all ears.愿闻其详。

CommanderReturn me to the Griffin base and I'll tell you.你先带我回格里芬基地，然后我就告诉你。

Kalina?I see...原来如此……

Kalina grins in understanding as her hand shoots toward the security alarm by the desk—格琳娜露出了释然的微笑，她的手以迅雷之速摸向桌边的报警器——

CommanderDon't you remember, Kalin...?你不记得了吗，格琳……

CommanderWhen I first reported for duty at the Griffin base, you were also a freshly-appointed adjutant. We learned together how to keep the base up and running as we dealt with more and more challenging missions.我刚入职格里芬基地时，你也刚成为副官，我们一起学习如何处理基地的事务，应付每天都在难度上升的任务。

CommanderI've lost count of how many times we've worked overtime together, how many times we've fretted over our Dolls... When I lost all hope and was on the verge of collapse, it was always you who stayed by my side and pulled me away from despair.我记不清，我们一起加班过多少次，为人形们担忧焦虑过多少次…… 当我失去信念、快要崩溃时，都是你在我身边，陪伴我，帮我走出阴霾。

CommanderDo you remember that time we narrowly escaped death at the Paldiski Submarine Base? Everything seemed so hopeless, but you still—还记得在帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地前那次死里逃生吗？ 你明明那么绝望难过，却还要——

Kalina?Hold on.打断一下。

CommanderKalina, do you finally remember?!格琳娜，你想起来了？！

Kalina?Excuse me, in this story you're telling me, did I get paid for working overtime?请问，在你说的这段剧情里，我的加班费到账了吗？

CommanderUh... There's no overtime pay at the Griffin base...呃……格里芬基地没有设置加班费的……

Kalina?Then in all the while I've been working as your adjutant, have I ever received a promotion or pay rise?那在作为你副官的这段时间里，我有升职加薪过吗？

Commander...No.……没有。

Kalina takes a deep breath, then she smashes the security alarm by the desk repeatedly—格琳娜深深地呼吸了一口，然后以肉眼难以捕捉的速度狂暴地连击起了桌边的报警器——

Kalina?Security, escort this visitor out of my room!保镖，把这位客人请出去吧！

CommanderWait!等等！

Two burly men dressed all in black appear quietly from behind and seize you by the arms politely.两位黑衣壮汉无声无息地出现在你身后，客气地将你架了起来。

Kalina?I just looked you up quickly. You're the temporary manager of Franchouchou, the opening act tonight, aren't you?我刚刚稍微调查了下。 你是做暖场演出的法兰秀秀的临时经纪人吧？

Kalina?You'd better worry about your group. They're not doing very well on stage.你最好还是先关心下你自己的团队吧，她们在台上的处境很不妙啊。

Kalina shows you the live monitor—Franchouchou is currently dancing stiffly on the stage.格琳娜打开了舞台上的监控器屏幕，法兰秀秀正在台上僵硬地起舞。

You can see the suffering and despair on their faces as the audience's angry boos almost drown out their singing.你从她们脸上的表情能看出绝望煎熬的心情，而台下观众愤怒的咆哮几乎淹没了她们的声音。

CommanderHow can this be...怎么会这样……

Kalina?I don't care if you've come to uncover secrets of Late Night Café or to seek a collaboration... But don't bother to come back until Franchouchou has what it takes to share a stage with my group.不管你是来打探夜间咖啡馆的秘密，还是谋求合作机会…… 都请在法兰秀秀拥有足够和我们站在同一个舞台的实力，再来找我谈吧。

CommanderKalina!格琳娜！

Kalina?Please leave, dear Commander. You're just getting in my way of making money!请走吧，这位指挥官大人，你留在这里只会耽误我赚钱的速度！

Kalina ignores your desperate protest and lets the bodyguards remove you from the room.格琳娜没有理睬你的狂吼乱叫，任保镖将你带出了房间。

You can only watch as the serious face that Kalina makes when she counts money grows farther and farther away from you...你只能眼睁睁看着格琳娜认真数钱的脸庞离你越来越远……

...Late at night, back at the mansion. The Franchouchou girls are sitting impassively in the sitting room, fatigue is written all over their makeup-free faces.……深夜，洋房。 法兰秀秀呆呆地坐在大厅中，卸掉妆容后的脸上写满了疲惫。

You have already been ranting in the living room for half an hour. The sofa now sports a row of indentations from where you've punched it.你已经愤懑不平地在大厅里暴走了半个小时，拳头在路过的沙发上均匀地留下了一排坑。

CommanderWhat gives?! You are both idol groups, so why is there such a big difference in how you're treated?!!!凭什么？！大家都是偶像团体，待遇差距怎么那么大！！！

CommanderAnd that Kalina! How could she do that to me?!还有那个格琳娜！怎么能这样对我？！

Sakura MinamotoCommander... Don't be angry...指挥官……消消气吧……

You suddenly come to your senses and realize that the one who needs comforting right now isn't you, but Franchouchou, whose performance was a flop.你后知后觉地回过神来，意识到现在最需要安慰的并不是你，而是演出失利的法兰秀秀。

You stop pacing and look at Sakura, who has been trying to make you feel better.你停下脚步，看向一直跟在身后安慰你的源樱。

Sakura MinamotoWe... we failed...我们……失败了呢……

CommanderSakura...源樱……

Sakura MinamotoIf Kotaro were here, he'd probably have jumped to his feet and called us useless idiots...如果巽幸太郎在的话，应该已经跳起来骂我们是笨蛋了吧……

Sakura is trying to keep up her smile, but her anguish is weighing down the corners of her lips.源樱努力保持着微笑，但内心的苦涩压垮了她的嘴角。

CommanderDon't be so hard on yourselves. If you want to cry, just let it all out.不用勉强自己的，想哭的话就哭吧。

Sakura MinamotoCommander... you're crying even harder than I am...指挥官……你比我哭得还厉害啊……

Tae presses a used tissue onto your face. You accept it with some trepidation. By now, everyone has gathered all around you.一把用过的纸巾被山田多惠按在了你的脸上，你无奈地接过，看见大家都围拢过来。

Tae YamadaAwoo... (Don't cry...)嗷呜……（不要哭……）

Ai MizunoIt's nothing worth crying over. Late Night Café is extremely talented and skilled, it is the truth. It may sound harsh, but we must face it and keep working hard to improve.没有什么好哭的，夜间咖啡馆的实力确实很强劲，这就是事实。 尽管很残酷，但我们必须去面对，并继续加油。

Junko KonnoNot all is lost, we still have a chance. In four days...我们没有完全输，还有机会。 就在四天后……

Sakura MinamotoYeah! We will find a way... We've made it through a lot of setbacks before, and we can do the same again this time.嗯！总能找到什么办法的…… 那么多次考验，我们都走过来了。

Ai and Junko walk up to Sakura to comfort her. The two girls both look miserable, but their unyielding courage and determination are still shining through.水野爱和绀野纯子走到源樱的身边，两个女孩的脸上笼罩着忧愁，但在那之下的是不曾熄灭的决心和勇气。

CommanderWe've been playing it too safe with the training plan. To prepare for the performance in four days, we must change things up...我们之前的训练计划都太过保守了。 为了应对七天后的演出，我们需要做出改变……

Ai MizunoI agree, Commander. You've become a proper idol manager.和我的想法相同，指挥官，你已经完全适应偶像制作人的身份了。

Commander...You think so?……是吗？

You let out a bitter chuckle as you recall the events that transpired today. You thought you had found the key to your own world. You dropped everything and ran up to the door, only to realize it was all a lie. On the other side of the door, you were met with a Kalina who didn't know you at all. Right now, all you have is your bond with Franchouchou.想到今天的经历，你干涩地苦笑了几声。 你以为你拿到了回到过去的钥匙，丢下一切、歇斯底里地跑到门口才发现，不过是个泡影。 那扇门的另一端，只有完全不认识你的格里芬人形和格琳娜。 对现在的你而言，你所拥有的，就是和法兰秀秀的这段羁绊。

Saki NikaidoWhy are you sulking?! We have every right to moan, but you don't! You have to show us the way forward!你苦着个脸干什么！ 我们可以唉声叹气，但你不行，你还要指挥我们向前走啊！

Saki NikaidoPull yourself together!不准垮掉！

Saki whacks you on the back. It is probably just your imagination, but you suspect she was already holding back.二阶堂咲在你的背上拍了拍，不知是不是错觉，你总感觉她似乎收了几分力。

Another hand rests gently on your shoulder.而另一只温柔的手攀上你的肩膀。

YugiriDon't worry, this wasn't the first time we'd experienced such things. People were also jeering and making mean comments about us when Franchouchou first started out. We've all learned to take it in stride. Besides, this time, we'll have you with us. As long as we work together, I'm sure we will find a way.别担心，我们也不是第一次面对这种情况了。 以前刚开始以法兰秀秀的身份活动时，就遭遇过很多冷言冷语，我们早就学会如何面对了。 更何况，这一次，还有指挥官陪着我们一起想办法，我们一定能行的。

Lily HoshikawaPerk up! If we're sad, even our singing will sound bad!打起精神来！不开心的话，歌声也会变得难听的！

You look down at all the gentle hands trying to console you. You don't know why but you can't help but smile. The Franchouchou girls are the ones who need comforting, but they end up comforting you instead. Still, their encouragement has indeed reinvigorated your numb and tired heart.你看了看放在你身上的温柔的一双双手，你也不知道为什么，忍不住笑了起来。 明明该被安慰的是法兰秀秀，最后还是变成了你被安慰。 但这份安慰确实让你疲惫麻木的心重新跃动起来。

CommanderThen let's all do our best together!那让我们一起加油吧！

You hold out your hand, and the Franchouchou girls all place theirs on top of it. This is the solemn promise you have made to them. You will lift Franchouchou up to the very top.你伸出了自己的手，让法兰秀秀把自己的手交托在你的手背之上。 这是你许下的庄严的誓言，你将托起法兰秀秀，直到她们抵达云巅。

CommanderWe will redeem ourselves next time!!!我们一定会赢回来的！！！

CommanderWe must make Kalina see us in a whole new light!!!一定要让格琳娜对我们刮目相看！！！

57-A4-1 第四天·上午 · 57-A4-1

You arrive at the dance studio with an extremely demanding training plan that you've put together, but you feel a little nervous. You're worried that Ai will be disappointed in you after yesterday's screwup.你带着制定好的魔鬼计划来到练舞室，却有些心虚。 你担心小爱会因为昨天的失败而对你感到失望。

However, you know that you need to overcome that yourself, and so you muster up your courage before handing the new plan to Ai.但你意识到这需要你自己来克服，便鼓起勇气向小爱递出了新的方案。

Thanks to Yugiri's support, Ai accepts your apology and starts scrutinizing your plan...在一旁的夕雾的支持下，小爱接受了你的道歉，并开始研究你的计划……

Just as you're about to breathe a sigh of relief, she starts adding to the already arduous schedule, even motivating Yugiri and Tae into going along with her.就当你松了口气的时候，小爱反过来为你原本训练量就极大的清单继续添砖加瓦，甚至鼓动夕雾和多惠也跟上她的节奏。

You express your concerns that this might be overdoing it, but Ai insists that if they don't go this far, they'll always be a bunch of half-baked losers who are a step behind everyone else. Ai's reply inspires you and helps you understand what it truly means to be an idol, and so you accept the changes she has made to the training plan.你担心会不会太过勉强，而小爱则表示如果不这样的话她们将永远是输人一筹的半吊子。 你被小爱激励，感受到了真正的偶像精神，于是接受了她的修改。

57-C4-1 第四天·上午 · 57-C4-1

In the early hours of the morning, Saki and Lily both find excuses to slip out of the mansion at the same time. It seems they're planning to start practicing in advance.凌晨时分，二阶堂咲和星川莉莉不约而同地找借口溜出了洋房，打算提前开始练习。

You have been waiting in the karaoke box for a long time, so you end up overhearing their entire conversation.而她们的对话，都被在练歌房中等候多时的你听见了。

While they're still in shock, you take out the new training plan that you spent all night putting together.她们还在惊讶时，你拿出了连夜制定的魔鬼计划。

The two of them immediately throw themselves into frenzied training.两人立刻狂热地开始练习……

However, a whiteboard suddenly pops up behind the speakers halfway through the practice session. It raises questions about how the plan is too forceful and will strain one's vocal chords, which will only do harm to their singing skills.然而，练习到一半，音响背后举起了一块白板。 上面质疑这个计划强度过大，嗓子长时间处于疲惫状态，对技巧提升有害无益。

Lily recognizes the person behind the board as Junko by the mushrooms growing on her.莉莉从白板旁的蘑菇认出是纯子。

Saki disagrees with halting the practice session, and she also guesses that Junko is using the whiteboard to communicate because her throat is too worn out to speak.二阶堂不同意停止训练，并猜到纯子是因为嗓子哑了才用白板和你们沟通。

As it turns out, Junko spent the entire night after the performance last night in the karaoke box practicing by herself. She came to stop them because she realized that this practice was useless.原来纯子昨晚演出后在练歌房自己练习了一整晚，意识到这种练习是无效的，才来劝止你们。

However, you ignore the concern in Junko's eyes and insist on continuing the practice.但是，你们不顾纯子担忧的眼神，坚持要继续训练。

57-Y4-1 第四天·上午 · 57-Y4-1

Surprisingly enough, Sakura isn't in the karaoke box or the dance studio. You thought she would be practicing hard for her stage performance.今天源樱居然不在练歌房或练舞厅，你本以为她会是最努力练习的那一个。

As it turns out, you spot her spacing out through the windows of the convenience store.谁知，你从便利店的橱窗中一眼瞥见她竟然窝在店里发呆。

After coming to her senses, Sakura explains that it would be selfish of her to throw herself wholeheartedly into her practice. Rather, she ought to make some money so the others have more time to practice.被你唤回神的源樱解释道，自己拼尽全力练习的结果仍然不尽人意，不如自己承担赚钱的职责，让其他人有更多时间练习。

You tell her that "there are some things only Sakura can do," but Sakura just takes that as your attempt to console her.你表示存在“只有樱才能做到的事”，源樱只当作是安慰。

Just then, a regular customer in the store walks up with a complaint.这时，店里来了一位熟客，宣称要投诉。

You nervously ask about it and learn that the customer saw Sakura moping today and wanted to complain because he thought the shop owner was abusing Sakura.你紧张地上前询问后才得知，客人发现今天源樱愁眉苦脸，误以为店长苛责了源樱才要投诉。

Stunned, Sakura listens to the customer thanking her for her warm greeting every morning. The customer even wishes Sakura all the best for her idol career.源樱愣愣地听着客人感谢她每天的“早上好”令自己充满了干劲，客人还为源樱的偶像事业加油。

You tell her that this is the sort of thing "only Sakura can do", and that with constant effort, she'll reap the rewards; just like she did with the greeting every morning.你说，这就是“只有樱才能做到的事”，只要坚持一直努力，总会像每天的“早上好”一样得到回应。

Sakura is moved by this and slowly pulls herself together.源樱十分感动，渐渐振作起来。

Day 4 – Noon 第四天·中午

Last night, fueled by pure rage, you burned the midnight oil to put together a new training plan. You've been busy putting the new plan into action all morning, and are now feeling quite light-headed thanks to the combined assault of a morning of hard work and an all-nighter. However, you just grit your teeth and return to the backstage in the Live House despite being on the verge of passing out. Even though you've seen it for yourself, you still refuse to believe it. Kalina, who has been through hell and high water with you, will never be so heartless.昨晚，被愤怒冲昏头脑的你连夜写完了新的训练计划。 一上午的新计划推行加上通宵，已经让你摇摇欲坠，但你还是咬牙回到了livehouse后台。 尽管亲眼见证过了，你依然不愿相信—— 一直以来和你同甘共苦的格琳娜，竟然如此绝情。

CommanderThere must be some reason that she can't explain... She kept blinking at me. Maybe she was abducted? Maybe she's under the control of some kind of mafia? Did she have no choice but to hurt me just to keep me away?她一定是有什么苦衷…… 她一直对我眨眼，也许是被绑架了？ 或者落入了什么黑暗势力手中，被迫伤害我，好让我远离？

You've been thinking about it long and hard, but are no closer to an answer. So you've decided to return to the scene and search for whatever clues Kalina may have left for you.你苦思许久，始终找不出答案。 于是你决定重返现场，寻找格琳娜留给你的蛛丝马迹。

The VVVIP dressing room hasn't been cleaned yet, but the cleaning tools have already been placed by the door. Looks like the cleaners will be back very soon.VVVIP房间还没来得及打扫，但是清洁用具已经摆放在了门口，看来清洁人员很快就会回来。

You don't have much time here. Where will you conduct your search?A. The desk that Kalina was working at.B. The dressing table where the idols had their makeup applied.C. The restroom, where inspiration always strikes.留给你的时间并不多，你会选择主要调查哪里？A 格琳娜工作过的桌子B 偶像团体使用过的化妆台C 让人灵感迸发的卫生间

You walk up to the dressing table. A myriad of makeup products are strewn all over the surface, which has also been graffitied. You first stop at the section that you suspect belonged to HMG21. The words "BIG SIS" has been written in large handwriting with red lipstick on the vanity mirror with lights. There's a spillage of gray hair dye on the table, but there is otherwise not much else.你走到化妆台前，上面凌乱地摆放着各式化妆品，部分化妆台上还有涂鸦的痕迹。 你先来到疑似HK21的化妆台前，镶了一圈闪亮灯泡的镜子上，用红色的口红写了个大大的“姐姐大人”。 桌上的灰色染发剂还倾倒出了部分在桌面上，除此以外，没有剩下什么化妆品。

CommanderHMG21 still cares about nothing but her big sister.HK21还是和以前一样，几乎都是姐姐相关的东西。

You pull open the drawer and find a few forgotten photographs inside. They were pretty much all selfies taken with fans. You find your own among them. HMG21 was flashing her signature smile at the camera, while you were looking at her with your mouth hanging open as if you were going to say something. You sigh and move on to the next section.你拉开了抽屉，发现了几张被遗留的合照，似乎都是HK21的粉丝合影。 你在里面找到了自己。 HK21对着镜头露出招牌式的笑容，你迷茫地侧头看着HK21，嘴巴半张，像是想要说些什么。 你叹了口气，走向了旁边的化妆台。

CommanderThis has got to be PM-06's.这肯定是PM06的。

The entire section is covered in red, and you can't even see the original color of the table. Aside from all kinds of makeup products in red, there are also several empty red wine bottles on the table. The sight reminds you of the crimson horror of an office that PM-06 created when she was on adjutant duty... You were so angry with her, but now all this red is making you feel oddly nostalgic.鲜红色席宽了整个化妆台，根本无法看出原本的底色。 除了各种红色的化妆品，桌面上只剩几瓶喝空的红酒。 此情此景，让你回忆起了PM06做值班副官时搞出了鲜红指挥室…… 明明过去的你是那么生气，此刻摸着铺天盖地的红色，你竟有些怀念。

CommanderBetter keep looking.再找找别的线索吧。

You come to JS05's section. There are only hair products on the table.你来到JS05的化妆台边，桌上只有理发、护发类的产品。

You pick up the hair straightener that she has lost. You can totally imagine how badly she will freak out when she cannot find her hair straightener.你拿起了她遗失的直发夹，能够想象出找不到直发夹的她会是什么样的反应。

CommanderYou realize you miss your life at the Griffin base terribly, but this is precisely why you must devote all your energy... ...To living a full life in Saga and leading Franchouchou in completing their concert. Only then can you focus on finding your way back home.你意识到你无比怀念过去在格里芬基地的每一天，但正因为如此，你才要积攒起全部的力量—— 好好在佐贺生活，带领法兰秀秀完成演唱会，唯有这样才能全身心投入到寻找回家之路的旅程。

You can hear the cleaners' footsteps coming from outside. You must withdraw for now.门外响起了清洁人员的脚步声，你只能先撤退了。

You walk up to the desk where you confronted Kalina last night. Kalina's leftover coffee and her messy notes are still on the desk.你来到昨晚和格琳娜面对面交谈的桌边，桌上还放着格琳娜喝剩的咖啡和一些字迹凌乱的笔记。

You pick up the paper cup and give it a sniff. It smells pretty much like the instant coffee you buy yourself at the convenience store.你拿起咖啡杯，放在鼻前嗅了嗅，和自己在便利店买的速溶咖啡差不多的味道。

CommanderKalina you cheapskate... You're absolutely loaded in this universe but you still won't buy anything nice for yourself. Seriously, why even bother making so much money...?格琳娜这家伙……就算到了异世界，赚了这么多钱，还是舍不得给自己换点好的东西啊。 真不知道赚那么多钱是要干什么……

You put down the cup and start flipping through Kalina's notes. Unlike the neat and delicate handwriting that you are used to seeing on combat reports, the handwriting on these papers is rather sloppy and erratic. You can tell Kalina was anxious and in a hurry when scrawling these words.你放下咖啡杯，翻看起格琳娜留下的笔记。 和你看习惯的作战报告书上工整清秀的字迹不同，纸上的字迹显得有些潦草凌乱，能感受到格琳娜在书写时的匆忙和焦急。

CommanderSuch astonishing figures...真是些惊人的数字……

Just the numbers that Late Night Café is bringing in and their future gigs are enough to leave you dumbstruck. It pains you to admit that this is definitely a lot more money than you have ever seen back at the Griffin base.光是纸上呈现的夜间咖啡馆的营业额和接下来的日程安排，就足够让你目瞪口呆了。 这确实比在格里芬基地赚钱多了，你忍不住有些黯然地心想。

CommanderIs there nothing else? Kalina... You really haven't left me any clues?没有别的了吗？ 格琳娜……难道你真的没有留给我什么信息吗？

You've rummage through everything on the desk and even tried to decipher the numbers in her notes, but there is no useful information to be gleaned.你翻遍了桌上的所有东西，把纸上的数字都做了遍解密，也没能找到什么有用的信息。

You can hear the cleaners' footsteps coming from outside. You must withdraw for now.门外已经响起了清洁人员的脚步声，你只能先撤退了。

You walk into the restroom. The bin is overflowing with tissues, and graffiti is scrawled all over the walls and door. Some of it catches your eye and gets a chuckle out of you. Those girls have totally been using the walls as a message board.你来到了卫生间，纸巾堆满了垃圾桶，墙上、门上写满了留言。 你随便瞥见了几句，就忍不住哑然失笑，这几个家伙是把墙当做留言板使用了吧。

Red TextWhat should the new song be about? Oh, what about a song about a scarlet witch?!下一首新歌写什么好呢！啊，以猩红女巫为主题怎么样！

Green TextDenied. It's too clichéd. Besides, witches don't tend to have bangs.否决，太烂大街了，而且女巫一般没有刘海。

Gray TextI might consider it if the witch is my big sis.换成女巫姐姐的话可以考虑。

Black TextYou lot! Taking paid toilet breaks now, huh? I caught you red-handed! You're not getting paid today!!!你们几个！带薪上厕所，被我抓到现行了吧！ 全部扣一天薪水！！！

You trace the writings on the wall lightly with your fingers. The black text has been written over several times in other colors. Did they really end up getting their pay docked? You recall what Kalina said last night and the way she said it, and can't even begin to imagine what a stingy boss she'd make...你抚摸着墙上的字迹，黑色的字体被各种颜色覆盖了好几遍。 不知道她们最后有没有被扣薪水？ 你回想起昨晚格琳娜的脸庞和话语，真是很难想象她成为老板后会有多么抠门……

You haven't found any clues, but you can hear the cleaners' footsteps coming from outside. You must withdraw for now.你没有找到有用的线索，而门外已经响起了清洁人员的脚步声，你只能先撤退了。

After leaving the Live House, you return to the mansion and are about to have lunch with Franchouchou. But the dining table is empty save for a lonely bento and a note.你离开livehouse后，回到了洋房，准备和法兰秀秀一起享用午餐。 但桌面上只有孤零零的一份便当和留言便条。

You pick up the note. It reads...你拿起便条，上面写着——

Dear Commander, We will not be able to have lunch with you at the agreed time because we want to practice a bit longer. We apologize, but you may have to eat alone. The bento is on the table, so just pop it into the microwave. See you in the afternoon. Yours, Yugiri.指挥官敬启 原本约好的午餐，我们没法准时到来了，因为还想再多练习一下。只能委屈下你，让你自己吃午饭了。 便当已经放在桌上，你稍微热一热就好。 那么，下午见。 ——夕雾

You sit before the chilled bento in a daze as memories of how the girls have been working so hard trying to follow your extremely demanding training regimen. You resolve to stay and fight with them until the very end.你呆呆地坐在冷掉的便当前，脑子里出现的是她们按照你的魔鬼计划挥汗如云、拼命练习的样子。 你下定决心，要陪她们战斗到最后一刻。

You won't run away and leave them behind ever again.你绝对不会再丢下她们逃走了。

57-L4-2 第四天·夜晚 · 57-L4-2

Inside the dance studio, Lily trains according to your extremely demanding training regimen. You keep urging Lily to go faster and keep up with the beat.练舞厅内，莉莉正按照你的魔鬼训练计划练习。 你不断催促着莉莉加快步伐，跟上节奏。

Then, with a "pomf", Lily's heart suddenly shrinks down before exploding, which almost takes your breath away.只听“嘭”地一声，莉莉的心脏在剧烈的收缩后炸裂开来，几乎夺走了你的全部呼吸。

Worried, you run over to check on Lily. She says that the physical strain of all this practice was probably too much for her and tries to comfort you by saying she's alright, but you still end up blaming yourself for it.你焦急地跑近察看莉莉的状况，莉莉表示大概是刚才的动作太激烈，她安慰你说自己不要紧，但你还是很自责。

Lily says that she's worried about you instead. Her heart will tell her if she's overdoing it, but for yourself, you keep pushing yourself onward even if the strain on you exceeds what you can bear.莉莉却表达了对你的担心，心脏会提醒她自己承受不住了，但你的压力就算积累到超出你能承受的范围，你也只会硬撑着。

You're touched by her concern and suggest that the two of you watch TV to de-stress.你感动于莉莉的体贴，提议两人一起看电视舒缓压力。

However, Lily shakes her head and proposes that the two of you go check in on the rest of Franchouchou and bring them snacks.莉莉却摇了摇头，提出带上好吃的去看望法兰秀秀的其他人。

57-Y4-2 第四天·夜晚 · 57-Y4-2

Sakura practices over and over again, in keeping with your new hellish training regimen.按照你的魔鬼训练计划，源樱一遍遍地练习着。

Since she keeps failing to get ideal results, Sakura keeps going without a rest. Even her hoarseness, bordering on a loss of her voice, doesn't stop her.由于总是达不到理想中的效果，源樱固执地一刻也不肯休息，甚至沙哑到接近失声还不愿意停下。

It's only then that you realize your plan is putting such a huge strain on Sakura, and in order to at least keep her from wearing herself out, you decide to drag Sakura off by force to rest.你这才发觉自己的计划给源樱造成了过重的压力，出于挽救的目的，你决定强行送源樱回去休息。

Along the way, you decide to counsel Sakura by telling her about Destroyer's insistence on getting a mature big sister's body, which ultimately resulted in her becoming a large doggo.在路上，为了开导执著于训练的源樱，你讲起了破坏者固执地想要御姐的外形，最后被忽悠变成了大狗的故事。

Sakura can't help but smile as she listens to that utterly ridiculous story.听到这个有趣到荒诞的故事，源樱不自觉地露出了笑容。

She then realizes the fact that she wasn't feeling right is similar to Destroyer's own situation.随后，她才意识到，自己的状态不太对劲，和故事里的破坏者有些相似。

After understanding your intentions, Sakura allows herself to relax a little.理解了你的用心，源樱稍稍放松了绷紧的神经。

57-A4-2 第四天·夜晚 · 57-A4-2

The drawbacks of the plan reveal themselves soon enough—计划的弊端很快便被兑现——

Before the day is even over, you hear about how Ai ended up hurt from overtraining and how Junko withdrew into herself out of anxiety.今天还未结束，你就听到了小爱因为疯狂练习而受伤和焦虑的纯子陷入自闭状态的消息。

At the urging of everyone, you half-drag the two of them to the bathhouse to relax...在众人的建议下，你半强迫地带着两人来到浴场放松……

Ai emerges from the bath before Junko and you ask about her condition out of concern.小爱先于纯子从浴池内出来，你先关心了她的身体状态。

You scold her for being too impatient, but she rebukes you.你批评了她急躁的表现，却遭到她的反驳。

Ai believes that the opening act failed because they didn't train enough. Right now, Franchouchou cannot afford to fail again, and she has to lead by example.小爱认为，暖场失败本就是训练不足的体现，现在的法兰秀秀已经没有再失败一次的空间，为了带领大家，她必须要做表率。

You tell Ai that if she truly believes she is "Franchouchou's Member No. 3", she has to give up on trying to go it alone and learn how to rely on the others.你告诉小爱，如果她真心认为自己是“法兰秀秀3号”，就必须放弃个人主义，学会依靠大家。

To that, Ai says she is the one whom everyone else relies on.而小爱则表示自己才是被大家依靠的人。

In the end, your conversation once again ends unhappily.你们的谈话再一次不欢而散。

57-X4-2 第四天·夜晚 · 57-X4-2

You arrive at the fast food restaurant and see Saki, who's as imposing as ever.你来到快餐店，看到了跟平时一样霸气十足的二阶堂。

While talking to the owner, he says that Saki's been especially hardworking today.跟店长交流时，店长也表示，二阶堂今天工作格外卖力。

Though you feel gratified, you sense that something's wrong with Saki and head over to the back door during her break...你感到宽慰的同时，又敏锐地察觉二阶堂有不对劲的地方，遂在休息时间来到后门……

You discover that not only is Saki not resting, she's planning to promote Franchouchou in the restaurant too.你发现二阶堂不仅没在休息，还计划在快餐店内做法兰秀秀的宣传工作。

Upon seeing you, Saki's expression turns annoyed and she tells you not to get in her way.见到你，她露出十分嫌弃的样子，并要你不要碍事。

However, you can instantly tell that her sure-fire plan isn't going to work, and so you suggest a few changes.但你一眼就看出她罗列的奇葩计划都不可能成功，遂提出帮忙修改。

Saki still has her doubts as she changes her plan to incorporate your suggestions, but then it actually works out, which causes Saki to view you in a different light.半信半疑的二阶堂按照你的建议修改了计划，并在你的援助下成功实施，这让二阶堂对你刮目相看。

You tell her that you understand that she feels responsibile as a leader, but you hope she can share her burden with you, her producer.你表示理解二阶堂作为领队的责任感，但希望对方也能让身为制作人的你一起分担。

57-D4-2 第四天·夜晚 · 57-D4-2

You head down to the convenience store to buy some household items and happen to run in to Yugiri and Tae hiding in an alley beside the store. Yugiri is supporting Tae, who looks very shaky on her feet. She collapses into a heap the moment Yugiri lets go. After speaking to them, you learn that they are in such bad shape because of the incredibly demanding training regimen. Feeling a bit guilty, you prepare to call up Ai to stop her from ramping up the training even more.你去便利店购买生活用品，恰好遇见夕雾和多惠躲在便利店边上的小巷。 夕雾搀扶着走路走得乱七八糟的多惠，夕雾一松手，多惠就瘫在地上，无法行动。 你询问才得知，她们是因为魔鬼计划才会变成这个样子，你的心里有些愧疚，想要去阻止水野爱在你的计划上继续加码。

However, Yugiri stops you. She believes that Ai is very high-strung now and it'll be worse if she doesn't get a chance to vent it.但夕雾阻止了你，她认为水野爱现在正处于非常焦虑的状态，如果不让她发泄出来，反而会更加糟糕。

Tae seems to agree.多惠似乎也表示了认同。

With Yugiri's guidance, you manage to help Tae recover with dried shredded squid until she can walk again.在夕雾的劝说下，你依靠鱿鱼丝帮助多惠重新恢复到了能够行动的程度。

The two of them decide to return to practice immediately. You try to urge them to rest...两人立刻决定继续去练习，你想劝她们休息一下……

But in the end, all you can do is watch them stumble off together into the distance.但最终还是只能眼睁睁看着她们互相搀扶着远去。

Day 4 – Night 第四天·夜间

...Late at night, in the quiet Forest Park. The air is stifling with humidity. You sit alone on the wet and cold park bench, looking at the leaves glistening in the street lights. Unlike the white sunlight reflected during the day, the light now is hazy and misty, like teardrops welled up in the corner of the eye.……深夜，寂静的森林公园。 夜里的空气变得潮湿沉重，你独自坐在湿冷的长凳上，看着对面树上的叶子在路灯下熠熠发光。 和昼日叶片上清晰的白色反光不同，夜晚的光是朦胧湿润的，像眼角将落未落的眼泪。

With a morose sigh, you unfold the hellish training regimen you have written out earlier and start scribbling down all the training notes for today.你哀怨地叹气，取出你写下的魔鬼训练计划，开始在今天满满当当的训练内容边写下批注。

CommanderThe training plan was unreasonably demanding to begin with, but the Franchouchou members still insisted on raising the difficulty. As a result, the training was extremely ineffective on the first day. Sakura had lost her voice; Ai and Junko were off their game; Tae and Lily were both suffering from joint issues; Yugiri wasn't doing very well either, but she did her best holding everything together.训练计划第一天，因为计划本身的安排不够合理，加上成员主动提高难度，导致训练计划效果极差。 源樱失声，小爱和纯子状态不佳，多惠和莉莉关节出现问题无法动弹，夕雾的状态恐怕也不太好，但她还在勉强支撑。

As you recall the difficult afternoon, the training plan slips out of your hand and flutters to the ground. You let out another sigh. None of the battle plans you've made at Griffin have ever been such a terrible failure. And this isn't even the worst.回想起下午的经历，你手中的训练计划飘落在地，发出一声叹息。 你在格里芬基地制定作战计划都没有遭遇过这样严重的事故。 而这还不是最糟糕的事情。

Commander... Maybe my talents are only suited to being a commander? Am I really just completely hopeless as an idol manager? If only I could get in touch with the base. At least I would be able to consult the Dolls who had experience as idols...…… 难道我的才能只适合用在做指挥官上，完全不适用在偶像制作人？ 要是还能联系上基地就好了，至少能请教下那些曾经做过偶像的人形……

???Some people may look close but are in fact far, far away. Others may look far, but are actually right before you.有些人，近在眼前，却远在天边。 有些人，远在天边，却近在眼前。

CommanderNinja?忍者？

A wispy voice speaks through the rustling leaves.缥缈的声音从树叶的窸窣间落下。

NinjaNo matter which world you're in, you just don't cherish those right before you.不管在哪个世界，你总是不珍惜眼前人。

CommanderYou mean... I should just talk directly with Franchouchou and discuss our thoughts? You have a point. I just can't help thinking about Griffin...你的意思是，我应该直接和法兰秀秀当面沟通，确认彼此的想法吗？ 说得有几分道理，我最近总是忍不住去想格里芬的事……

NinjaNo. What I mean is—不。 我的意思是——

NinjaYou should give me a call and ask for my professional opinion.你应该给我打电话，咨询专业的我。

Once again, you feel the urge to just stand up and leave, but the ninja stops you by putting his hand on your knees.你又燃起了几分想要抽身离开的心，但忍者的手死死摁住了你的膝盖。

NinjaIs this your training plan?这就是你制定的训练计划？

CommanderYes, it's not working well at all.是的，效果很不理想。

The ninja picks up the piece of paper from the ground. His eyes turn from a calm lake into an erupting volcano.忍者从地上捡起了你的训练计划，你看着他的眼睛从平静的湖泊变成了喷发的火山口。

NinjaWhat the hell is this?!这是什么啊？！

Commander...An emergency training plan for Franchouchou.……是给法兰秀秀的紧急训练计划。

NinjaTraining?! What training?! Are you trying to make these zombies die a second time?!训练？！训练什么！怎么让僵尸再入土一次吗？！

CommanderUh... They're zombies. Surely they can handle dying again?呃……僵尸的话，再入土一次也没关系吧？

NinjaHey!!! No human would be able to improve as an idol by following this outrageous plan!!!喂——！！！ 这么胡来的计划，人类根本无法从中得出任何偶像方面的成长啊！！！

NinjaThey're not robots, you know?!!!只有机器人才行吧！！！

CommanderI see. No wonder I've been having so much trouble with this job. I have only ever commanded Dolls...原来如此，难怪我总觉得不适应现在的工作，因为我只会指挥人形啊……

NinjaEnough with the nonsense. What's this stuff you've been writing on the side?!不要胡说八道了，还有这边上的备注是什么啊？！

CommanderOh, a brief summary of Franchouchou's performance today.哦，是法兰秀秀今天的情况统合。

The volcano in the ninja's eyes are no longer erupting. The ninja's eyes are now two flat voids and are as dull as volcanic ashes drifting through the air.忍者眼中喷发的火山熄灭了，现在只有浓浓的火山灰从两个空洞中逸散。

NinjaThis is a total disaster! The worst I've ever seen in my entire life!太糟糕了！这是我一生中遇到的最糟糕的情况！

NinjaIt's even more disastrous than only having 500 people show up at a performance meant for 30,000!!!简直比三万人的演出场地只来了五百人还要糟糕啊！！！

Commander...I have more bad news for you.……其实还有更糟糕的。

You shift your gaze guiltily.你心虚地将视线从忍者眼中的空洞移开。

CommanderThe concert organizer just gave me a call to tell me that the venue for the performance in three days has been given to another idol group under Kalina Entertainment— A group called Gray Tree. Have you heard of them? I hear they're even better than Late Night Café...演出举办方给我打电话，说要把三天后的演出场地转给格里芬娱乐有限公司旗下的另一个团体—— 灰树，你应该知道吧？听说是比夜间咖啡馆实力更加强劲的团体……

CommanderNinja?忍者？

The ninja has collapsed to the ground. There's no answer no matter how you try to wake him.任凭你如何呼唤，忍者都倒地不起、不再回应了。

...An hour later, you drag the Franchouchou girls away from the karaoke box and dance studio by force and take them back to the mansion.……一个小时后，你从练歌房和练舞厅强行拖走了法兰秀秀，一起回到了洋房。

Sakura MinamotoCommander, what are we doing here all of a sudden?指挥官，为什么突然要来这里？

Ai MizunoDon't we usually eat in the sitting room?之前不都在大厅吃饭的吗？

Tae YamadaAwoo... awoo... (She seems to be chewing on some unknown object.)嗷呜嗷呜……（好像在咀嚼什么不明物体）

CommanderI have something important to say to you.我有重要的事想和大家说。

Standing by the blackboard, you meet the girls' eyes solemnly one by one. This is where you met Franchouchou when you first woke up. You believe this gives the place some special significance.你站在黑板边，严肃郑重地挨个和法兰秀秀对视。 这里是你初次醒来和法兰秀秀见面的地方，你认为这里具有一定的意义。

Lily HoshikawaYou're not... going to leave us, are you?你不会要……离开我们了吧？

CommanderI've made you a promise. But regardless of that, I'll still stick with you till the end.我们可是有约定的。 不，现在就算没有约定，我也会陪你们走到最后。

YugiriCommander...指挥官……

Saki NikaidoSheesh, what's with all this cheesiness?!喂喂喂，大半夜的，怎么说这么肉麻的话啊！

Junko KonnoSo what is it, Commander?所以，指挥官要对我们说什么？

You take a deep breath. You've been mulling over what you are about to say long and hard. Every single word matters.你深呼吸了一口，酝酿着腹中的话语，接下来的每一句都万分重要。

CommanderI'm sorry.对不起。

Sakura MinamotoHuh?! Commander... why are you apologizing?咦？！指挥官……为什么要道歉？

CommanderI was too heedless when I put together this training plan. I didn't consider how an idol should grow; I only cared about forcing improvement in the most efficient way. I never consulted any of you when coming up with this plan; I just went ahead on my own. I saw how much this plan had cost you today, and I am deeply sorry.训练计划的事情是我考虑不周到。 我根本没有考虑到偶像究竟是如何成长，只一味按自己的想法去追求效率和提升。 在制定计划的时候，也没有咨询过你们任何一个人的看法，只顾自己埋头写。 今天看到你们为了完成计划付出这么大的代价，我很内疚，抱歉。

Ai MizunoCommander, it wasn't entirely your fault. It was mine too... I was too anxious and impatient and I let that get to me. I kept pressing you to push us harder...指挥官，这并不是你一个人的错，我也是…… 被担忧和焦虑支配，一个劲在你的计划上加大强度……

Junko KonnoThe same goes for all of us. We started panicking because of how far behind we were and threw ourselves into our training recklessly.我们都一样啊，因为差距而恐慌，不顾一切地疯狂训练。

YugiriEverything that happened today wasn't the fault of any one person. We all had a part in it.今天的一切并不是因为某个人的错而造成的，我们都身在其中，不可被单独剥离。

Lily HoshikawaThat's right, we're a collective!对啊，我们是一个整体！

The Franchouchou girls all stand up and gather around you.法兰秀秀从各自的椅子上站起来，聚在你的身边。

Sakura MinamotoCommander, you don't have to apologize to us...指挥官，不用向我们道歉的……

Saki NikaidoThese things don't have to be said out loud to be understood.这种事情，你不用说出来，我们都懂得。

CommanderI think it is necessary for me to tell you how I feel, because it only occurred to me today that I had never shared my inner thoughts with you before. We should've communicated better so we'd be on the same page...我认为我的心情应该传达给你们，因为直到今天我才意识到，我从来没有和你们交流过内心的真实想法。 我们明明早就应该了解彼此的想法……

You pause as the girls stack their hands on top of yours.在无言中，你的手和法兰秀秀们交叠在了一起。

CommanderAlso, we're about to face our grimmest challenge.而且，我们接下来还有更严峻的挑战。

Sakura MinamotoIf you're referring to the venue canceling on us... we're already aware of that.如果是三天后的演出场地被取消的话……我们已经知道了。

Ai MizunoWe're trying to find a new venue.我们正在打听新的演出场地。

Junko KonnoBut because it's at such short notice, we may only be able to get something small.就是时间太紧张了，可能最后只能选择一些规模较小的场地。

Saki NikaidoStill, this concert is 100% happening! No matter where we do it, Franchouchou is Franchouchou!反正我们是一定要办演唱会的！不管在哪里，法兰秀秀就是法兰秀秀！

You smile at these girls who are determined to stay strong and are doing their best to comfort you.你看向拼命保持坚强、还想要安慰你的法兰秀秀露出了微笑。

CommanderSomeone once told me that an idol should perform on a stage that befits them. Franchouchou's concert in three days can only take place here—有人告诉我，什么样的偶像，就应该登上什么样的舞台。 法兰秀秀三天后的演出场地，只能是这里——

You raise the performance poster which should have been featuring Franchouchou, but their place has been taken by five familiar faces.你高举手中的演出海报，原本应该是法兰秀秀的位置，被五张熟悉的面孔占领。

Sakura MinamotoBut it's been booked by Gray Tree...可是那里已经被灰树预定了……

Ai MizunoGray Tree is a very well-known and talented death metal band.灰树可是业内知名、实力强劲的死亡重金属团体。

CommanderSo what? Have you forgotten your own spirit of rock'n'roll?!那又怎样！难道你们忘记了你们的摇滚精神了吗？！

Junko KonnoOur own spirit of rock'n'roll...我们的摇滚精神……

You turn on a hi-fi, and powerful music starts blasting through the speakers.你摁下音响的开关，强劲的音乐直冲天灵盖。

CommanderWe are Franchouchou! We must take back what belongs to us!我们可是法兰秀秀！ 我们要夺回属于我们的东西！

Saki NikaidoThat's right! Franchouchou will always get what we're owed!没错！法兰秀秀，有债必偿！

CommanderIf someone dares seize our stage!如果有人敢抢走我们的舞台！

Saki NikaidoWe'll raise our mics and take it back!我们就高举话筒重新占领！

Commander & SakiNever! Give up! Now! Or never!绝不！姑息！就是！现在！

Click. Ai turns off the hi-fi.啪—— 水野爱关掉了音响。

Ai MizunoPlease calm down. You can chant your slogan as loudly as you want, but we'll still have to face reality.请你们冷静一下，口号当然是怎么响亮怎么喊，但现实还是要面对的。

YugiriThese fervent slogans will only lead us further astray.失去理智的狂热口号只会把我们带到迷雾的更深处。

Lily HoshikawaI do dream of performing on a stage like that, but—虽然做梦都想在那样的舞台上演出，可是——

CommanderDon't worry, I have a solution.别担心，我已经想好了办法。

Junko KonnoWhat solution?什么办法？

You flash them a confident smile as you take out the item that the ninja has prepared for you...你扬起自信的笑容，拿出了忍者为你准备的东西——

Two hours ago, at the Forest Park.两小时前，森林公园。

After much relentless shaking, the ninja finally wakes up retching.在你坚持不懈地摇晃下，忍者终于呕吐着醒来。

CommanderAre you alright?你没事吧？

Ninja(Hurls)呕……

CommanderYou're finally awake. You scared me to death.你终于醒了，吓死我了。

The ninja gets to his feet and silently stares into space for a long time.忍者一言不发地站了起来，他凝视着空中的某个点，久久没有开口说话。

CommanderWhat?怎么了？

NinjaI'm thinking of a solution.我在想办法。

CommanderYou... you're not thinking about assassinating Gray Tree, are you?!你……你该不会要去暗杀灰树吧？！

NinjaWe're not in "Ninja Assassin".这里不是《忍者刺客》片场。

The ninja takes out a poster with a frown.忍者皱着眉，从身上取出了一张海报。

CommanderWhat's that?这是什么？

NinjaThere's only one thing you can do. Defeat Gray Tree and replace them.只剩下这一个办法了，打败灰树，取代她们。

CommanderMaybe you should consider assassination after all... The members of Gray Tree are Dolls. You can take them out just by seizing their control authorizations.不然你还是去试试暗杀吧…… 灰树都是人形，只要拿到控制权限，就可以暂停行动了……

NinjaNo! Franchouchou has to beat them fair and square!不行！法兰秀秀，要赢得光明磊落！

NinjaYou've never watched Franchouchou's death metal performance. They will not lose to Gray Tree. Besides, this concert will take place in Saga. Franchouchou will surely win as long as they can awaken the Saga audience's spirit of rock'n'roll.你没有见过法兰秀秀的死亡重金属演出，绝对不会输给灰树。 而且，这次演出还是在佐贺，只要能唤醒隐藏在佐贺观众内心深处的摇滚之魂，法兰秀秀一定能赢。

CommanderHow do we do that?怎么才能做到？

NinjaThat's up to you and Franchouchou to figure out.这就是你和法兰秀秀该思考的问题了。

Sakura Minamoto... If I'm understanding this correctly... You want us to challenge Gray Tree? If we win, we'll get the venue back?…… 如果我没有理解错你的意思…… 你刚刚是在说，让我们去挑战灰树？只要赢了就可以夺回演出场地？

CommanderPrecisely.正是如此。

Yugiri places a hand lightly on your forehead to check your temperature.夕雾轻轻地用手量了量你额头的温度。

YugiriFeels normal enough...体温是正常的……

Junko KonnoAre you feeling unwell? Maybe you should take a rest...你是不是哪里不舒服？要不然先休息一晚……

Ai MizunoThat's delusional, Commander.这是妄想，指挥官。

CommanderNo, we all have a sure-fire key to victory.不，我们身上有着绝对的致胜秘诀。

Lily HoshikawaWhat is it? Does Lily also have it?那是什么？莉莉也有吗？

Click.啪——

You switch on the hi-fi again.你重新摁下音响开关。

CommanderSpirit! Saga's spirit of rock'n'roll!是精神，属于佐贺的摇滚精神！

CommanderRock'n'roll isn't dead! You are also undead! So you are rock'n'roll!!!摇滚不死，你们也不死，你们就是摇滚！！！

57-L5-1 第五天·上午 · 57-L5-1

Inside the karaoke box, you worry that with the group members splitting up to practice on their own, you won't be able to see how they all perform together.练歌房里，你担心着成员们各自分散练习，无法看出整体效果。

After hearing your concerns, inspiration strikes Lily and she gets an idea.莉莉听了你的烦恼之后灵机一动，想到了过家家。

Lily drags your thoroughly confused self along on a quest to go on a group practice session with the rest of Franchouchou.随后，莉莉带着一头雾水的你捣鼓出了法兰秀秀的投影小人一起练习。

However, Lily mentions that she came across Gray Tree fan meets everywhere on her way to the karaoke box, and Gray Tree's popularity makes you feel nervous again.但你刚有了信心，莉莉提到来练歌房的路上到处都是灰树的应援活动，灰树的火爆人气又让你紧张了起来。

Also, you're worried that this is why Junko is late, and she's probably hiding by herself somewhere and growing mushrooms.而且，你担心纯子也是因此才迟到，又躲在某处一个人默默长着蘑菇。

Fortunately, your worst fear has not come to pass, and Junko shows up with a guitar on her back. The goal of taking the performance venue back from Gray Tree has ignited Junko's fighting spirit, and she uses this opportunity to vent all the frustration she's accumulated during practice sessions.幸好你的担忧并未成真，纯子背着吉他出现了。 从灰树手中把场馆抢回来的目标，激发了纯子的斗志，所有的压力与情绪在练习中尽情释放。

You've never seen Junko in such a destructive mood before. You are positively mesmerized.你从未见过如此有破坏欲的纯子，简直看呆了。

After finishing her song, Junko raises her guitar high and smashes it down. Although she stops just short of destroying the instrument, her sheer force of personality makes you feel certain that she'll bring the house down tonight.一曲终了，纯子高高举起吉他砸下，尽管在最后一刻止住了，但这种魄力让你相信今晚演出必定炸裂全场。

57-A5-1 第五天·上午 · 57-A5-1

You head over to the karaoke box, intent on discussing the training plan with Ai again. Instead, you find her standing at the door to the karaoke box. Strange sounds are coming from inside.你前往练歌房，决定就训练计划的事再跟小爱谈谈，却发现小爱站在练歌房门口，同时练歌房里面传出了诡异的声响。

She thinks that someone else is practicing their singing in there...小爱认为是有人在里面唱歌……

The two of you open the door and enter, only to discover that the person practicing inside is Sakura...你们推门进入，发现了里面正在练习的源樱……

Ai is utterly stunned and asks Sakura what has happened to her voice.大惊失色的水野爱询问源樱的嗓子出了什么问题。

You, on the other hand, are very angry, because you have clearly forbidden Franchouchou from overtraining after Ai got hurt.而你则非常生气，因为在小爱受伤之后你已经明令禁止法兰秀秀的众人过量练习。

Sakura apologizes to you and Ai realizes that Sakura is working so hard because of her own anxiety.源樱向你道歉，而小爱意识到，源樱这么努力的原因是因为自己焦躁的态度。

It is then that Ai realizes she's forgotten to take her friends' feelings into account, and she apologizes to you and Sakura of her own accord.这时，小爱才意识到自己忽略了同伴的想法，主动向源樱和你道歉。

She picks up a pair of penlights and cheers for Sakura to show that she believes Sakura can do it. Once Sakura gets some rest, she'll work with her to devise a more appropriate training regimen.她拿起应援棒为源樱打call，表示相信源樱能行。 等源樱休息好了，自己会陪她一起寻找更合适的途径。

57-W5-1 第五天·上午 · 57-W5-1

It is a rainy morning, and you decide to go to the bathhouse to warm yourself.阴雨连绵的上午，你前去浴场泡澡暖身。

Inside the baths, you hear the sound of a shamisen from outside. The bath attendant says Yugiri is playing a song.在浴场中，你听见外面传来了三味线的琴声，浴场小哥说应该是夕雾正在弹奏。

Once you finish your bath, you see Yugiri playing her shamisen under a cherry tree.结束泡澡后，你循声找去，看见夕雾正在樱花树下拨弹三味线。

She tells you that when her heart feels restless, the sound of the shamisen has always managed to calm her down.她告诉你，当她心情烦闷时，三味线的声音总能让她平静。

You notice a hairpin on the ground. According to what Yugiri can remember, it was dropped by a woman with silver hair and blue eyes. Although she had a cold and austere bearing and played a different genre from Yugiri, they resonated very well with each other in terms of musical expression. As you listen to her description of the woman, you can't help but find her very familiar, but you have no idea who she is.你注意到地上掉落了一支发簪，据夕雾回忆，应该是在你来之前，一个从未见过的银发蓝眼女士掉落的。 这位女士虽然气质冷冽，且和夕雾的音乐流派不同，但在音乐的表达方面极其有共鸣。 你听着她对这位女士的描述，总感觉似曾相识，但怎么也想不出具体是谁。

Yugiri consoles you by saying that even if you didn't get to see her, listening to the same song in the same place is already an encounter of sorts.夕雾宽慰你，就算没能见到面，在同一个地方听过同一首曲子也算另一种方式的相遇。

57-X5-1 第五天·上午 · 57-X5-1

You arrive at the fast food restaurant, and Saki is still sticking to her "work, song practice, work" cycle.你来到快餐店，今天的二阶堂依然保持着打工-练歌-打工的循环。

You offer to help Saki out of concern for her health, and this time she readily agrees.担心她身体撑不住的你提出帮忙，这次二阶堂爽快地答应了。

During the course of her shift, you discover that Saki is feeling very anxious. She's distracted when dealing with customers and during practice, and even brings up Franchouchou's training situation with you from time to time.而在工作中，你发现二阶堂十分焦虑。 不管是接待客人还是练习唱歌都有些心不在焉，时不时还主动跟你提起法兰秀秀的训练情况。

You sense that Saki has an idea on how to proceed next, and decide to look her up during break time.觉得二阶堂似乎有什么想法的你决定跟她谈谈，于是在休息时间找到二阶堂。

... Whereupon you find her watching Gray Tree concert videos.…… 你发现她在看灰树的演出视频。

After a brief chat, Saki confirms that she IS very anxious at the moment. It largely stems from the fact that she, as the leader, can't help everyone take care of everything by herself, be it during their loss to Late Night Café or during the group's preparation for their face-off with Gray Tree. It's completely unlike how things were like in the past when she was a biker gangster, because many things have to be done differently now.一番沟通之后，二阶堂表示自己现在的确很焦躁。 输给夜间咖啡店也好，做与灰树较量的准备也好，身为领队的自己完全不能帮大家摆平一切。 这跟她过去当暴走族的时候截然不同，因为很多事的处理方式并不一样。

You ask Saki if she was alone during her delinquent days.你反问二阶堂，以前做暴走族时是否也是独自一人？

Saki excitedly tells you about her bestie.二阶堂兴奋地跟你讲述起挚友的故事。

You point out that just like before, she has good friends fighting alongside her, so she doesn't need to take all the burden on her own shoulders.你表示，那么跟以前一样，你现在身边同样也有跟你并肩作战的挚友，所以不需要事事都压在自己身上。

... Your words give Saki much to think about.…… 你的话令二阶堂若有所思。

57-D5-1 第五天·上午 · 57-D5-1

The area outside the convenience store is abuzz with activity because Drive-In Chicken is doing some shooting there.今天便利店外很热闹，因为DR鸡正在外面取景拍摄。

But you pay that no mind as you are busy thinking about your strategy to deal with Gray Tree.但你毫不在意，因为你在思考和灰树PK的战略。

As usual, Tae is by your side, helping you. She seems to be trying to tell you something, but you just give her a perfunctory reply without really paying attention to her.多惠和往常一样，在你的边上帮忙，她似乎想跟你说点什么，你随口敷衍着没有在意。

Suddenly, she drops the boxes she's holding and stands in your path. She seems to be grumbling angrily about something.突然，她扔下货物拦在了你的面前，似乎很生气地在叽里咕噜些什么。

You take that to mean she's angry at you for not listening to her and explain to her that you got distracted thinking about Gray Tree.你将其理解为她在生气你没有听她说话，于是你向她解释你刚刚分心在思考灰树的事情。

Tae calms down after listening to you. She starts picking up the stuff she threw on the ground and even carries your share of the boxes.多惠听完之后安静了下来，然后开始收拾扔在地上的货物，还把你的货物也一并扛走了。

Your heart swells because you think Tae finally understands what you're trying to tell her.你心潮澎湃起来，以为多惠终于明白你的意思了。

But by the time Tae returns, she's dragging the KOed Drive-In Chicken mascot behind her.但等到多惠终于回来的时候，你发现她还扛着昏迷的DR鸡。

Tae points at the Drive-In Chicken, at herself, and then makes a gesture of might. You understand what Tae is trying to say; namely, that she's strong enough to take out the Drive-In Chicken in a 1v1.多惠指了指DR鸡，又指了指自己，接着比出一个很厉害的手势，你明白多惠的意思，她在表示自己很强，能PK过DR鸡。

You're stuck somewhere between laughter and tears when you realize why she did this.你意识到了她为什么要这么做，感到哭笑不得。

The photo shoot outside the convenience store is in chaos. With the help of the store clerk, you surreptitiously move the Drive-In Chicken back outside.便利店外的拍摄现场也陷入了一片混乱，你在便利店小哥的配合下，神不知鬼不觉地将DR鸡送了回去。

Once everything is over, you look at Tae who's been waiting on the spot for you, and decide to buy her a packet of dried shredded squid.等一切结束后，你看着在原地等你的多惠，决定请她吃包鱿鱼丝。

Day 5 – Noon 第五天·中午

Four targets at 2 o'clock. Targets are eating and relatively unfocused, but considering they are Tactical Dolls, one cannot be too cautious. As you gaze at your familiar subordinates from afar with narrowed eyes, you try to work out how to disable them in your head. In the last ten minutes, you have already probed Gray Tree posing as a fan. Like Late Night Café, they didn't recognize you at all and even gave you an autograph.两点钟方向，四个目标，目标正在吃饭，注意力较为涣散，但考虑到对方是四个战术人形，还是不宜轻举妄动。 你眯缝着双眼，远远看着昔日熟悉的部下，心里却在盘算着怎么才能把她们全部放倒。 在过去的十分钟，你已经假借粉丝的名义前去试探过灰树，她们也同夜间咖啡馆一样，完全不认识你，甚至还给你签了名。

CommanderIt's for the best... At least it'll make this easier...也好…… 起码这样动起手来还能安心一点……

You pick up your glass of iced water from the table. The ice cubes knock against the glass, making a clattering noise. Only then do you realize your hand is shaking. You wonder if you are feeling guilty for conspiring to sabotage your Doll subordinates, or if you're feeling— Thrilled?你端起桌上的冰水，摇晃的冰块磕着杯壁，发出颤抖的碎响。 你这才意识到，你的手在颤抖。 不知是因为要对自己的人形下手而感到罪恶，还是—— 兴奋不已呢？

CommanderIt's your own fault for being so damn good... Franchouchou won't stand a chance in a head-on fight. For strategic reasons, more unconventional methods are necessary...只能怪你们太强了……要是正面硬碰硬，法兰秀秀几乎没有胜算。 出于战术考虑，只能想一些奇招了……

You retract your gaze and recall the mind-blowing experience you had earlier.你收回目光，回想起了刚才的震撼。

...A few hours ago, you logged into Gray Tree's fan forum using the only computer in the study.……几小时前，你坐在书房中，使用唯一一台电脑登录上了灰树的粉丝站。

CommanderGray Tree is incredibly popular in the rock music scene, but I've watched Franchouchou perform before, and they aren't actually that far behind. Let me try to identify Gray Tree's weaknesses. They might just be Franchouchou's strengths...灰树在摇滚圈中名气很大，但我也看过法兰秀秀的演出，也许差距没有想象中的那么大。 找找看缺点，说不定恰好是法兰秀秀的长处呢……

You clicked open a video of Gray Tree's live performance optimistically.你乐观地随手打开了一个灰树的现场演出视频。

Bam-bam-bam!铮铮铮——

The drummer lifted her cold gaze as she smashed out a series of explosive yet controlled beats.鼓手抬起凶狠冷酷的双眼，击起一连串爆裂又克制的鼓点。

With her eyes obscured by a pair of sunglasses, the guitarist grinned coolly and plucked a melody as bewitching as dark magic with a flurry of fingers.眼神隐藏在墨镜后的吉他手冷冽一笑，扬手拨出附加黑魔法般的躁动音乐。

The moment the vocalist opened her mouth, her low, coarse voice washed over you like chilled vodka—strong and spicy. The lyrics that she spewed like a machine gun reined in the vehement drumbeats and restless guitar, creating a perfectly balanced tension.而主唱一开口，嘶哑低沉的声音如冰好的伏特加，辛辣浓烈，机关枪般扫射溅出的歌词更是压制住了爆裂的鼓点和躁动的吉他。

Precise, ruthless, utterly uncompromising. Their music whipped at the audience like a cold instrument of torture.精准、狠辣，不留一丝一毫的余地，她们的音乐犹如冰冷的刑具般狠狠鞭挞着观众的听觉。

The video had ended, but you stared at the static webpage in a daze for a very long time. After much contemplation, you came to a conclusion.演出已经播放完毕，你对着停止播放的页面发呆良久。 在一番苦思之后，你得出了一个结论。

CommanderFranchouchou will only win if Gray Tree is out of the picture.果然只有把灰树干掉，才能让法兰秀秀赢了。

You're still watching Gray Tree carefully, waiting for an opportunity to strike. The four girls are eating their barbequed meat wordlessly like strangers that got put at the same table. As you observe more closely, you notice that there is a subtle undercurrent of tension beneath the deceptively tranquil scene.你还在观察灰树，寻找着可以动手的时机。 四个女孩正在安静地吃烤肉，一言不发，像是拼桌的陌生人。 再仔细观察，就能发现，平静如冰面的烤肉桌下暗潮涌动——

M1897 is diligently cooking the meat on the grill. Her shades are fogged up by the steam, but she dares not put down the tongs to wipe them clean.M1897在勤恳地烤肉，墨镜被糊上了一层雾气也不敢放下烤肉夹去擦。

Across her sits M1887. She is peering down at the meat in her bowl with some disdain. The meat was put there by M1897, but unfortunately it isn't cooked all the way through.坐在她对面的M1887一脸冷漠地盯着碗里的烤肉，似乎是M1897刚刚夹来的，遗憾的是，烤肉并没有熟透。

Type 80, who isn't wearing any glasses, is staring straight at the meat being cooked on the grill. Every time M1897 meets her eyes, her hand shakes visibly.没有戴眼镜的80式用凶狠的目光直勾勾盯着锅里的烤肉，不难发现，M1897每次和她对上目光，手都会抖几下。

Gr MG5 is focused on eating, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings, but you know that she is definitely aware of the tension at the table and is currently thinking about how to resolve the situation.MG5看似在漠不关心地吃饭，但你知道，她已经注意到了桌上的氛围，正在思考如何默不作声地将局面扭转。

CommanderNow's my chance! While they are all—好机会！趁她们各自——

WaiterExcuse me, do you need anything else?客人您好，还有什么需要的吗？

A waiter has appeared out of nowhere and is completely blocking your view. You can't see behind him no matter how you crane your neck, so you glare up at him.店中的服务员突然出现，将你的视野挡得严严实实，你无法避开，只好恼怒地看向服务员。

WaiterUm... The chicken on your grill has been burned to a crisp... Would you like the bill, or...?那个……您锅中的鸡肉已经全部碳化了呢…… 您看您是要结账还是……？

CommanderWhat?!什么？！

You look down at your grill, only to realize your tender and juicy chicken has all turned into inedible charcoal. It pains you to no end, but you cannot leave just yet.你低头看向锅中，才注意到你鲜嫩可口、肉汁丰盈的鸡肉已经全部化作不可食用的黑炭。 你痛心疾首，可现在，你还不能离开。

CommanderPlease give me another portion of chicken...再给我来一份鸡肉……

WaiterSure. One moment please~好的，请稍等~

The waiter walks off, clearing up your view again.服务员小哥离开了，你的视野重获自由——

The four members of Gray Tree are now all on their feet. They still aren't speaking, but the tension is running even higher.灰树四名成员全部站了起来，依旧一言不发，但气氛相比刚才变得更加剑拔弩张。

Barbecue sauce has been splashed all over M1897's sunglasses, but even though her vision is completely impaired at the moment, she is still stubbornly holding onto the tongs and flipping at the air.M1897的墨镜被泼上了烤肉酱，现在应该是什么也看不清的状态，但她固执地紧握烤肉夹不放，徒劳地翻着空气。

M1887 is clutching angrily onto a bowl filled with grilled meat, locked in a silent tug of war with Type 80.M1887目露凶光地揪住一个盛满烤肉的碗不放，和80式无声地推拉了数个来回。

Type 80 shows no sign of backing down either. They are currently stuck at an impasse, but you can see that Type 80 is silently activating her drone.80式的气势丝毫不输M1887，她们之间的战场明显已经陷入僵局，你看见她在悄悄启动自己的无人机。

With a deep frown, Gr MG5 pulls out several tissues with her left hand to clean up the barbeque sauce that has been spilt onto her hair. Her right hand is balled up into a trembling fist.MG5眉头紧蹙，用左手抽了几张纸巾擦去溅到头发上的烤肉酱，她攥紧的右拳像是即将喷发的火山。

CommanderGreat! I mustn't let this opportunity go to—太好了！机不可失时不再——

Die-Hard FanOh, if it isn't Franchouchou's manager?!哦，这不是法兰秀秀的经纪人？！

Commander...Hello.……你好。

Your view is once again blocked. This masked girl is quite petite, but she has positioned herself in a way that makes it impossible for you to see past her.你的视野又一次被挡住，明明这位面具少女的身形很是娇小，但你怎么也绕不开她。

Die-Hard FanWhat are you doing here? I hear there will be a face-off between Franchouchou and Gray Tree?你在这里做什么，我听说法兰秀秀今晚要和灰树PK？

CommanderUh... Oh... yeah...嗯……啊……是的……

Die-Hard FanThen why do you seem so unconcerned?那你怎么还这么优哉游哉的？

CommanderI'm actually on some very important business.我有更要紧的事要做。

Die-Hard FanWhat business? I want to know!什么事？请向我透露下！

CommanderThat's... a trade secret!这是……商业机密！

You push the masked girl aside and crane your neck to catch a glimpse at Gray Tree...你扒开面具少女，将头竭力探向灰树的方向——

The barbeque sauce on M1897's sunglasses has been smeared evenly across the lenses. She has finally put down her tongs and is now silently holding M1887 down.M1897墨镜上的烤肉酱被抹开，均匀地糊成一片，她终于放下了烤肉夹，此刻正紧紧抱住M1887，无声地梏住她。

M1887 is straining forward and looks hellbent on reaching across the table to kick Type 80's ass, but she cannot get to her with M1897 pulling her back.M1887身体前倾，像是想要越过桌面狠狠踹飞80式的样子，但由于M1897的阻碍，她并没有成功。

Type 80 is chewing ferociously as if someone were going to pry her mouth open and make her spit out all the meat inside. Her cheeks are stuffed like a hamster's.80式的两颊塞得像把颊囊当仓库用的仓鼠，她正在大口咀嚼，好像真的会有人从她嘴里抠走肉一样。

Meanwhile, it is clear from Gr MG5's face that she has had enough. She has not been able to completely remove the barbecue sauce which has now congealed in her hair. She has both Type 80 and her drone pinned viciously on the table.MG5的表情明显表露出她的忍耐已经到了极限，头发上凝结的烤肉酱也未能清理干净，她将80式和无人机狠狠按在桌面，控制着行动。

CommanderNo! This really is a one-in-a-million chance—不行！千载难逢的机会——

Die-Hard FanWhat are you mumbling about?你在嘟囔什么？

The masked girl shoves her face back into your view.面具少女的脸又凑了过来。

CommanderStop asking... Oh, look over there! It's Late Night Café!别问了……哦对，看那边，夜间咖啡馆！

Die-Hard FanOh, I'm not a fan anymore.哦，我已经脱粉了。

CommanderWhat?!啊？！

Die-Hard FanLately, I've gotten really into—我最近迷上了——

You push down on the masked girl's head to reveal—你把面具少女的头按下去，展现在你眼前的是——

WaiterExcuse me, here's your chicken. Should I place it onto your grill...?这位客人，您的鸡肉已经来了，是给您全部放入锅中还是……？

Commander... Just put it down. I'll take care of it myself.…… 放下，我自己来就行。

WaiterOkay~好的~

Die-Hard FanHey! Are you listening?!喂！有没有在听我说话啊？！

You once again clear your view and peer over to the other table... The Gray Tree members have gone back to eating in their seats, though M1887 and Type 80 are clearly the latest subjects of a barbecue sauce baptism.你拨开眼前的一切阻碍，引颈望去—— 灰树已经重新坐回座位吃饭，只是M1887和80式有被烧烤酱爆头的显著痕迹。

Gr MG5The bill.结账。

WaiterYes, ma'am~好咧~

CommanderIt's over... I've missed my chance...完了…… 错过了最后的机会……

You sit down dejectedly as you watch Gray Tree take their leave.你颓然坐下，眼睁睁看着灰树离开。

Die-Hard FanOh? Isn't that Gray Tree?哦，那不是灰树嘛。

Die-Hard FanIn my opinion, Gray Tree won't win against Franchouchou.依我看，灰树赢不了法兰秀秀的。

CommanderI agree...我也——

CommanderHuh?!啊？！

Die-Hard FanI just told you, didn't I? Lately, I've gotten really into—我刚刚不是跟你说了，我最近迷上了——

Die-Hard FanFRANCHOUCHOU!!!法兰秀秀！！！

CommanderWHAT???啊？？？

Die-Hard FanAren't you supposed to be their manager? What's with the odd reaction to the group's biggest fan?你这个经纪人很奇怪诶，看见头号粉丝怎么是这个反应？

CommanderWhat do you like about them...?你喜欢她们什么……

The crazy fan immediately turns on her MP4 and opens a video clip. It's the solo contest between Tae and Drive-In Chicken. You've seen the video before, and it was a spectacular face-off.狂热粉丝立刻激动地打开MP4，给你打开了一段视频。 是山田多惠和DR鸡先生的SOLO赛，你之前看过这段视频，确实是非常精彩的对决。

CommanderHm...嗯……

Die-Hard FanAlso, their rock'n'roll performance was super lit! I haven't seen such an impactful rock performance in a long time!还有啊！她们之前的摇滚演出也很燃啊，我好久没有看见这么震撼心魄的摇滚演出了！

CommanderYou don't find Gray Tree's performances impactful?灰树的演出没有震撼到你的心魄吗？

Die-Hard FanGray Tree's talent and technique are indeed incomparable, but they have a fatal problem as a heavy metal rock band...灰树的技巧和天赋确实是无人能比的，但她们作为重金属摇滚乐队有个致命的问题……

CommanderWhat?! What is it?什么？！是什么？

The crazy fan shakes her head a little wistfully.狂热粉丝有些遗憾地摇了摇头。

Die-Hard FanThey're too successful.太成功了。

Die-Hard FanEver since they became a hit, they have not been turned away from any stage. Everywhere they go, they're met with smiles and applause. They no longer have the rage of a small underground band.灰树自从走红后，就不缺舞台和掌声，走到哪里都是对她们笑脸相迎的人。 再也找不回曾经做地下小乐队的愤怒了。

CommanderI don't see the problem...我没看出这其中的问题……

Die-Hard FanRock'n'roll is all about rage! It's the expression of rage! It's a defiant roar! If everything goes exactly as you want and the world's your oyster, you don't have a reason to rage and roar. Franchouchou, however, is perfect for this genre...摇滚需要愤怒！需要表达！需要反抗命运的嘶吼！ 如果一切都如此顺遂完美，也就不再需要愤怒和嘶吼了。 但法兰秀秀就很合适……

Die-Hard FanThey've encountered setback after setback, and they always seem to have the most rotten luck. I can't wait to hear them let out their roars of frustration!我已经迫不及待听听风波不断、一波三折、总是在倒霉的她们的嘶吼了！

Your gaze rests again on the screen that's showing Tae's and Drive-In Chicken's faces... A low chuckle bubbles up from your chest all of a sudden.你的目光落回屏幕上山田多惠和DR鸡先生的脸上…… 突然间，你的胸腔发出低低的笑声。

CommanderHahaha... I've just had the most brilliant idea!哈哈哈……我有个绝佳的想法！

57-W5-2 第五天·夜晚 · 57-W5-2

Yugiri has fallen slightly behind the others due to juggling her part-time job and household chores. Thus, you help everyone record the dance practice sessions and hand it to Yugiri, along with analyses of the dance moves.因为忙于打工和操持家务，夕雾的练习进度稍微落后于其他人。 于是大家在你的帮助下，录下了练习时的舞蹈记录和动作拆解交给夕雾。

With your help, Yugiri manages to master the parts where she's lacking. You are startled by her intelligence, but she attributes it all to you.在你的帮助下，夕雾看了几遍录像就学会了落下的部分。 你惊讶于她的聪慧，但她将这归功与你。

She feels that it was your leadership which has given her the courage and confidence that make up for her shortfall in progress.她认为是在你的指挥下，她才有这样的底气和信心去弥补进度的缺失。

She also believes that the others have become more confident and carefree due to your influence.她还认为其他人也受你的影响，变得更加自信坦荡。

However, you feel that you haven't done enough for them yet. If you had Griffin's technology here, you could even give Yugiri AIs based off Franchouchou as practice partners.你却认为做得还不够，如果这里能有格里芬的科技的话，你甚至可以让法兰秀秀的AI陪着夕雾练习。

Yugiri finds it hard to imagine what such technology is like, and you promise to take her to see the Griffin base if you have the chance.夕雾有些难以想象这样的科技，你答应有机会就带夕雾去看看格里芬基地。

57-D5-2 第五天·夜晚 · 57-D5-2

Your conversation with the die-hard fan in the afternoon gives you new inspiration for your face-off with Gray Tree. Just as you think Franchouchou might have a good chance of winning—中午和狂热粉丝的谈话让你对和灰树的PK产生了新的灵感，在你认为法兰秀秀或许胜算也很大的时候——

Tae enters the karaoke box and does her rousing rooster's crow in time with the music.多惠走进练歌房中，照着演出曲目发出了昂扬的鸡叫声。

You immediately realize the difference between ideals and reality and begin teaching Tae how to sing. However, Tae remains lost in her own world as she mimics your singing with rooster cries and mumbling.你立刻认识到了现实和理想的参差，开始无奈地指导多惠练习唱歌。 但是多惠始终沉浸在自己的世界，用鸡叫和叽里咕噜来模仿你的歌声。

You assume she is showing her aversion to the practice session by being passive-aggressive, so you terminate it early.你以为她在消极抵抗练习，于是草草结束了训练。

Only when you're putting away the training materials after Tae has left do you realize she was actually practicing in her own way. Although she didn't get the lyrics right, she was pitch-perfect.等到多惠离开后，你收拾练歌房的训练材料才意识到，多惠是在用自己的方式训练，她虽然没有一句歌词是对的，但她的音调全部都是准的。

Just as you're feeling guilty over blaming her unjustly, Tae suddenly returns to the karaoke box. She looks like she wants to say something but can't get the words out.你正为自己错怪她而感到自责时，多惠突然回到了练歌房，一副欲言又止的样子。

You apologize immediately and offer her dried shredded squid to make up for it.你立刻表达了歉意，并奉上了鱿鱼丝作为补偿。

However, Tae doesn't wolf it down happily like usual. Instead, she grabs her throat and collapses in front of you.但多惠没有像往常一样高兴地吃下，而是直接在你面前抓挠着喉咙倒下了。

Frightened, you immediately check Tae and realize that she had swallowed the practice tape just before she left, and it's stuck in her throat.你吓坏了，立刻检查起多惠，发现她临走时吞掉了你的训练录像带，卡住喉咙了。

You extract the now-ruined tape and offer Tae the dried shredded squid again.你立刻取出已经报废的录像带，再给多惠奉上了鱿鱼丝。

This time, she saves the last strip for you.这一次，她将最后一根鱿鱼丝留给了你。

It's just a tiny step forward, but you're extremely pleased with the progress you've made.虽然是很微小的进步，但你也已经很开心了。

57-X5-2 第五天·夜晚 · 57-X5-2

At the bathhouse entrance. As part of a reward for their hard work, you buy Saki and Sakura drinks once they emerge from the baths.浴场门口。 作为犒劳的一环，你要请刚刚结束泡澡的二阶堂和源樱喝饮料。

Sakura wants a strawberry milk.源樱要了一瓶草莓牛奶。

Saki wants the new chicken-flavored drink that everyone hates.二阶堂则要了所有人都避之不及的新品鸡肉味饮料。

Due to the sheer weirdness of Saki's drink, both you and Sakura study Saki's reaction.因为二阶堂喝的东西过于离奇，导致源樱和你都关注起她的反应。

... In the end, Saki downs it in one gulp and complains that it sucks, to nobody's surprise.…… 结果二阶堂一口下肚，毫无惊喜地抱怨起难喝。

Sakura chuckles and says that she figured that would happen.源樱苦笑表示这种事一开始就该知道。

On the other hand, Saki believes that she needs to taste anything that's flavored like the stuff she likes, no matter how terrible it might turn out to be.二阶堂则认为，她喜欢的东西的口味，不管看起来有多糟糕，她都要第一时间尝试一下。

You can't help but think about how this relates to Saki's personality and state your agreement with her philosophy.你不由得联想到二阶堂本人的个性，对此表达了认同，与二阶堂达成共识。

...Although it thoroughly disturbs Sakura.……这令源樱非常震惊。

57-L5-2 第五天·夜晚 · 57-L5-2

You're worrying about tonight's show. After all, Gray Tree is a stronger opponent than Late Night Café.你正在为晚上的演出发愁，毕竟灰树是比夜间咖啡馆更强的劲敌。

Lily has been acting all mysterious and says she has a secret weapon that Gray Tree will never expect.莉莉神秘兮兮地说，她有一件秘密武器，灰树一定想不到。

Full of anticipation, you follow Lily, but then you are sorely disappointed when you discover that her so-called secret weapon is a big meal at the fast food restaurant.你满怀期待地跟着莉莉，却发现莉莉说的秘密武器就是在快餐店大快朵颐，你大失所望。

Lily quickly explains that familiar tastes make it easy for people to recall memories.莉莉连忙解释，熟悉的味道往往能轻松地勾起人的记忆。

Every time she tastes the food here, Lily remembers all the times Franchouchou celebrated or cheered themselves up in this place. It's just like casting a spell of happiness; getting a bite before a show fills them all up with energy.每次尝到这里的味道，莉莉都会想起法兰秀秀在这里或庆祝或打气的回忆，就像施了幸福的魔法一样，在演出前一口下去能获得满满的能量。

A classically-trained group like Gray Tree would definitely avoid eating and drinking before a show, so they wouldn't understand this trick.像灰树那种训练有素的队伍，在演出前肯定会恪守不吃不喝的规矩，所以发现不了这个秘密。

After understanding Lily's plan, the two of you eat up everything on the table together.理解了莉莉的想法，你们一起把桌上的食物吃光扫净。

You can't help but wonder if Lily will remember today's events when she comes back here to eat again...你忍不住想，以后莉莉再吃的时候，是不是也会想起今天的情景呢……

57-C5-2 第五天·夜晚 · 57-C5-2

At the convenience store.便利店。

You hear Junko muttering distractedly to herself while she's working, and your curiosity is piqued. However, every time you try to get closer to listen in, a highly motivated Ai drags you off to do more work.你听见纯子打工时一直心不在焉念念有词，十分好奇。 但每次想要凑近听她在说什么，就被干劲满满的小爱拉走干活。

Ai holds herself to the highest standards even though this is just a part-time job, and the same applies to you.即使只是兼职，小爱也用最高的标准要求着自己，以及你。

Ai is hoping that you'll be able to get enough money together to put on the show and do a nationwide tour in order to challenge "Iron Frill". She optimistically states that you'll only need to work another 200 more days of part time to achieve this aim.小爱期盼着能尽快攒足演出经费，全国巡演，挑战“铁裙”。 她乐观地预计实现目标只需要再打工200天。

Junko cuts in and backs up Ai's calculations.纯子插入话题，肯定了小爱的计算结果。

For a moment, Ai thinks that she and Junko are on the same wavelength...小爱以为和纯子心有灵犀……

Turns out Junko was calculating how many more days of work she would need to pay for her guitar if she smashed it during the show.没想到纯子其实是在盘算如果演出时砸烂了吉他，需要打工多少天才能还债。

Day 5 – Night 第五天·夜间

It's over.完了。

Those words tumble around in your head as you stand in front of the entrance of the Live House, where people are milling about preparing for the event. It's really all over this time.你站在热火朝天地进行准备的livehouse门口，心里只有这两个字飘过。 这次是真的完了。

You put down the phone. Sakura is still asking "What do we do?" anxiously on the other end.你放下电话，听筒那端的源樱还在焦虑地重复着“该怎么办”。

Will Franchouchou really meet their end today?难道法兰秀秀的末路就是今天？

You slump to the ground with a bitter chuckle. You check the time again— There is half an hour before the performance officially begins.你苦笑着瘫坐在地，再一次确认了时间—— 距离演出正式开始还有半小时。

CommanderHalf an hour... That's not enough for anything...半小时…… 不管是哪一边都不够啊……

You unfold a map of Saga that you always have on you. You try to remain calm as you formulate a contingency plan.你展开了随身携带的佐贺地图，开始拼命冷静下来思考当前的战略。

Your finger first points at the convenience store.你的手指首先来到了便利店。

Tae and Sakura are trapped in the storeroom there at the moment. The original plan was for Sakura to collect Tae from her workplace and head to the performance venue together with her. But life is unpredictable...山田多惠和源樱正被困在便利店仓库中。 原定计划是由源樱前去和正在打工的山田多惠汇合，然后一起前来演出场地。 但天有不测风云——

Sakura MinamotoCommander! We... we're stuck in the storeroom!指挥官！我们……我们被困在仓库了！

Tae YamadaArgh... Ugh... (She doesn't seem to be too aware of the current situation.)啊……喔……（好像不是很清楚现状的样子）

Sakura MinamotoI just wanted to help Tae finish moving the boxes more quickly... But before I knew it, the door of the storeroom had been locked! Even Tae can't get the door open! What do we do? What do we do?!我本来只是想帮多惠快点把货物搬完的…… 没想到一回头，仓库的大门已经被锁上了！多惠也拉不开大门！ 怎么办啊该怎么办啊？！

Sakura is running anxiously around the storeroom and Tae starts copying what she's doing. The two girls end up kicking up a micro dust storm in the storeroom...源樱焦虑到在仓库中狂奔起来，山田多惠仿照着一起狂奔，两人在仓库中制造出了一场微型灰尘风暴……

Meanwhile, Saki is held up at the fast food restaurant. She was just passing by on her motorbike. She was only ten minutes away from the performance venue. But life is unpredictable...而二阶堂咲被围堵在了快餐店中。 她原本只是骑车路过，还有十分钟就抵达演出现场了。 但天有不测风云——

Saki NikaidoI didn't ask for this! But they were having a really heated argument! Nobody around tried to stop them. I was worried they would really have a go at each other, so I went up and tried to calm things down. How would I know I'd get dragged into the whole thing?!我也不想啊！可是他们两边吵得好厉害！ 围观的人也没有劝阻的，我怕他们真的打起来了，就上前劝了两句。 谁知道会被卷进来啊？！

She just so happened to come across an intense argument between two local biking gangsters and quickly became embroiled in the dispute.她偏偏在这时撞见了本地两个暴走族爆发激烈的争吵，并成功被卷入其中。

Saki NikaidoThey're demanding a duel between me and their chief! I can't chicken out, can I?!现在他们非要我和他们首领决战，这要我怎么忍啊？！

Saki NikaidoI can't talk right now. I'll be right there once I sort this out!不跟你废话了，我分分钟搞定就来！

Saki hangs up decisively. Looks like she really means to take part in the duel.二阶堂咲豪爽地挂断电话，显然是真的准备去决战。

Meanwhile, Yugiri and Lily are stumbling around the mansion in a panic. They were supposed to go home, pick up their performance outfits, and make it back to the venue. But life is unpredictable...而夕雾和星川莉莉正在洋房中着急地团团转。 她们原本是去拿法兰秀秀的演出服，然后就可以返回演出场地。 但天有不测风云——

Lily Hoshikawa(Sobs) The outfits were right here! Lily even double-checked before setting off for the rehearsal... But they were gone when I came back to pick them up!呜呜……衣服明明就放在那里的！ 莉莉出发去彩排前，还特意去看过…… 怎么会回来就不见了！

YugiriDon't cry, and don't panic. Let's look for them more carefully. The outfits must be here somewhere...不哭不哭，别着急，我们再仔细找一遍。 演出服一定就在这里的某个角落……

Lily HoshikawaBut we've already combed the whole mansion seven times...可是我们已经找过七遍了……

The performance outfits have vanished without a trace. They are currently seven feet deep into excavating the mansion.演出服凭空消失，她们正在对洋房进行掘地七尺的搜索。

Meanwhile, Ai and Junko are stuck in the dance studio. They were supposed to run through all the blocking one last time before coming to the performance venue. But life is unpredictable...而水野爱和绀野纯子被困在练舞厅无法离开。 她们本来准备再最后确认一次走位问题就来演出现场。 但天有不测风云——

Ai MizunoCommander! Is there any way you can have some foundation delivered here quickly?指挥官！有什么办法能紧急送一些粉底来吗？

Junko KonnoI'm so sorry... I was so clumsy...对不起……都怪我不小心……

Junko slipped on some spilled makeup remover and ruined her makeup. The dance studio just so happens to be really busy at the moment, so they dare not leave and show themselves.绀野纯子因为不小心滑倒在之前打翻的卸妆水中，把妆容全部蹭掉了。 偏巧这时候，练舞厅外人头攒动，她们不敢轻易露面。

Junko KonnoYou should go. Don't waste any more time here with me...你还是先走吧，不要跟我一起在这里浪费时间了……

Ai MizunoNo! We're a team! We're not leaving anyone behind!不行！我们是一个团队，少了谁都不行！

Now Ai must help Junko through the crowd and make it to the performance venue without being exposed as zombies.现在水野爱需要带着妆容花掉的绀野纯子突破人群，在不被察觉到僵尸身份的前提下来到演出现场。

You pull at your hair in frustration. You briefly consider just running into a wall, to hell with everything. You don't have enough time to resolve any of the problems. What's worse, even if you do manage to get any one of them out of their predicament, the performance still won't be able to go ahead. If that happens, Franchouchou's career will suffer a disastrous blow.你痛苦地揪住头发，想要以头抢地。 不顾是去哪一边，时间都并不充裕，更致命的是，就算救出了一边，也无法完成演出。 而一旦无法完成演出，法兰秀秀的演出事业将受到毁灭性打击。

CommanderFor Christ's sake...救命……

You can already imagine the headlines in the coming days...你已经能预想到未来几天的周报头条了——

"What a Disgrace! Small-Time Band Franchouchou Putting On Airs and Bailing on Concert?!" "Franchouchou in Shambles! What Were the Members Doing the Evening Before They Disbanded?" "According to Witnesses, Franchouchou Members 3 and 4 Locked Themselves Up in the Dance Studio for a Night..."“震惊！法兰秀秀还未走红就已开始耍大牌放演唱会鸽子？！” “在最后那个夜晚，分崩离析的法兰秀秀都在做些什么？” “目击证人表示，法兰秀秀3号和4号将自己反锁在练舞厅一夜……”

CommanderNo, no, no! This won't do!不不不！不行！

CommanderI've got to think! I need to do something!快想想办法！做点什么！

CommanderI've got to put things together!俯瞰！快俯瞰！

Production AssistantHey, what are you doing?!喂，你在干什么？！

You're pulled back from bashing your head against the wall.正在撞击墙壁的你被拉住了。

CommanderLeave me alone!别管我！

Production AssistantSave your headbanging for later. Now go and get Franchouchou here for the interview. Gray Tree is done with theirs.朋克可以待会再搞，现在快叫法兰秀秀来接受下采访吧，灰树的采访已经全部结束了。

Production AssistantWhat's wrong? I thought we'd informed you about the interview beforehand?怎么了？采访的事不是之前就沟通好了吗？

CommanderThere's been an accident...发生了点小意外……

Production AssistantClashing numbers? Still putting on makeup? Problem with instruments? Sudden diarrhea?撞歌了？还在化妆？乐器出问题了？突然腹泻？

CommanderNo...都不是……

Production AssistantThey're not stuck somewhere, are they? Hahahaha...总不能是恰好被困在某个地方，来不了了吧？哈哈哈哈……

The production assistant's cheerful laughter slowly dies away.场记爽朗的笑声渐渐沉寂了。

Production AssistantYou're not serious, are you?!不会吧？！

CommanderNo...不……

Production AssistantSheesh, you got me.吓死我了。

CommanderThey're stuck in multiple locations.是各自被困在了不同的地方。

You tell the production assistant about everything that happened after the rehearsal.你将彩排结束后的事情全部告诉了场记。

Production AssistantWhat?! The performance is less than 30 minutes away! They won't make it back here in time!什么？！距离演出开始还有不到三十分钟，她们甚至都赶不过来！

Production AssistantDon't just stand there! Move!!!那你还在这里愣着干什么？！行动啊！！！

CommanderWhere... should I go?我……该去哪边？

For some reason, the production assistant seems even more terrified than you. After doing high knees for 30 seconds, he tosses his assistant's writing pad at you.不知为何，场记似乎比你还焦急，在原地高抬腿三十秒之后，他将场记板扔给了你。

Production AssistantI'll think of something! Try to buy some time!我去想想办法！你拖延住时间！

CommanderWhat if they really don't make it?!万一她们来不了怎么办！

Production AssistantHave some faith in them! They WILL make it!你要相信她们！她们一定会来的！

Production AssistantJust buy them some time! Delay the performance for as long as you can!你拖延住时间！一定要拖住啊！

The backstage is in utter chaos because of Franchouchou's absence. You gather up your courage and walk up to the production manager.后台因为法兰秀秀还未到场，已经是一片混乱，你鼓起勇气走向总统筹。

It is down to you to buy enough time for Franchouchou to get here in time, so you have decided to...A. Beg.B. Play it cool.C. Bullsh_t your way through.D. Distract him.接下来是你的环节，你要尽自己全力为法兰秀秀争取到足够的时间赶来，于是你决定——A 苦苦哀求B 酷炫狂拽C 胡说八道D 声东击西

The production manager glares at you. He looks like he could start belching fire any second.总统筹望向你的双眼都快摩擦出火星了。

You smirk and cross your arm nonchalantly.你冷酷一笑，不屑地抱起了臂膀。

CommanderWhat's the rush? Don't you know big-time bands always show up fashionably late? It's not metal enough to show up on time.催什么催？不知道大牌乐队登场都是要迟到的？ 准时到太不摇滚了。

Production ManagerWhat's with your attitude?! This isn't the first time I've organized a rock concert and I've never heard of such a ridiculous rule!你在拽些什么？！ 我又不是第一次搞摇滚演唱会，我可没听说过这样离谱的规矩！

CommanderWell, now you have.你现在听说了。

Production ManagerWhy, you!你！

The production manager jumps up from his chair angrily, but you push him back down.总统筹愤怒地从座椅上跳起，又被你按回。

Production ManagerFranchouchou may have some popularity in Saga, but I'd hardly call them a big-time band!法兰秀秀算什么大牌乐队！也就在佐贺本地有点知名度罢了。

CommanderThey will be.未来会的。

Production ManagerWhat?什么？

CommanderFranchouchou will be a big-time band with international renown in the future.法兰秀秀会在未来成为享誉国际的大牌乐队。

Enthusiastic applause erupts in the auditorium. Looks like Gray Tree's performance is coming to an end very soon... The furious production manager brushes you aside and walks toward the stage.从舞台方向传来的热烈掌声，看来灰树的演出快要结束了…… 被你气到狂翻白眼的总统筹一把推开你，向着舞台的方向走去。

You point at the auditorium fearfully.你惊慌失措地指着台下。

Production ManagerNow, where is Franchouchou?法兰秀秀呢？

The furious production manager brushes you aside and walks toward the stage.总统筹望向你的双眼都快摩擦出火星了。

You take a large stride forward and grab hold of his thigh, then burst into tears.你上前一个跨步抱住总统筹的大腿，紧接着就哭嚎起来。

Production ManagerWhat are you doing?!你干什么？！

CommanderManager, please give us a bit more time! They'll be here soon!总统筹大哥！再给我们一点时间吧！ 她们马上就到了！

Commander(Sobs) My friend, things are very difficult for us! Surely you must know how much hardship a small band like us have endured to get this far! We've been turned away and belittled so often! But Franchouchou just grit their teeth and carry on, all just so they can perform in front of an audience...呜呜呜……我的好大哥，我们也不容易啊！ 你知道的，像我们这样的小团体能一路走到现在，要面对多少风雨，忍受多少冷眼！ 但法兰秀秀咬着牙，坚持到了现在，就是为了能有一个小小的舞台……

Production ManagerThat's none of my business! All I care about is whether this concert can go ahead smoothly. I'll kill whoever messes things up for me!关我什么事！我只管这场演唱会能不能顺利进行，谁碍我的事，我就宰了谁！

CommanderI can! I can sing, rap, and play basketball!我去！我可以唱跳RAP篮球！

Snap. The moment Gray Tree is off the stage, it suddenly goes pitch black.空—— 在灰树下台的一瞬间，舞台突然陷入了完全的漆黑。

Production ManagerWhat's going on?怎么回事？

Production ManagerHuh, so that was all theatrics...好啊，你们玩的是这一套……

CommanderIndeed. Please do forgive me...是的，之前多有得罪……

You let out a discreet sigh. They made it after all. You observe Franchouchou on the backstage monitor, and you immediately notice... Due to their hasty entrance, Sakura is holding a loudspeaker instead of a microphone; Junko is clearly wearing two different shades of foundation; Ai is already hyperventilating before the performance has even started; Saki is still wearing her biking gloves... Only Lily, Yugiri, and Tae look relatively unruffled.你稍微松了口气，终于是赶上了。 你在后台通过屏幕看着开始演出的法兰秀秀，你立刻注意到—— 因为仓促登台的缘故，源樱错将扩音喇叭当成了话筒，绀野纯子左右脸的粉底明显色号不太对，水野爱还没开始就已经在大喘气了，二阶堂咲的手上还戴着摩托车手套…… 只剩星川莉莉、夕雾、山田多惠的状态勉强和平常差不多。

CommanderHiss...嘶……

You inhale through your teeth as your heart leaps up to your throat.你的心提了起来。

The auditorium is covered in a frosty silence. Countless pairs of eyes stare coldly at Franchouchou. You can't even begin to imagine the pressure they must be feeling. It is the same pressure that Franchouchou has been feeling all along.舞台下万籁俱寂，无数双眼睛冷冷地看着法兰秀秀。 这是你难以想象的压力。 也是法兰秀秀一路走来一直面对的压力。

Sakura MinamotoHello everyone, we are Franchouchou!大家好，我们是法兰秀秀！

Saki NikaidoWe're so happy to be here!!!请多指教！！！

No answer from the audience. Then comes the jeering.台下依然没有什么回应，甚至响起了零星的谩骂。

AudienceWhat Franchouchou? We want Gray Tree!什么法兰秀秀？我们要灰树！

You watch as Sakura tries to rein in her panic and raises her loudspeaker shakily— The same loudspeaker that has accompanied her since Franchouchou's debut show, their first street performance, and the first quarrel. She brings the loudspeaker closer to her face, inhales deeply, then— She lets out all her pent-up rage in a deafening roar—你看见源樱努力控制住惊慌的表情，颤抖着举起了扩音喇叭—— 陪伴她从法兰秀秀的第一场演出、第一场路演、第一场争吵走到现在的喇叭。 她凑近扩音喇叭，深深地呼吸了一口，然后—— 咆哮出了压抑在心间已久的愤怒——

Sakura MinamotoAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

FranchouchouAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

The bellow smacks the audience in the face like howling wind, rubbing all of Franchouchou's anger, indignation, and tenacity into everyone's eyes and ears.咆哮如撕裂的风，胡乱拍打在观众们的脸上，将法兰秀秀所有的愤懑、不甘、信念杂糅进了他们的眼睛和耳朵中。

This isn't just a musical performance. It is a forced connection.这不是一场艺术展览，这是一场近乎强制建立起的链接。

Die-Hard FanMy god, what is this?! How... how are they not breaking their necks with that kind of headbanging?!我的天，这是什么？！ 她们……她们怎么能把头甩到那样的弧度！

Sakura MinamotoFRANCHOUCHOUUUUUUU!!!法兰秀秀——！！！

Not giving the audience any time to think, Sakura runs straight towards the auditorium and executes the first stage dive.不给观众任何思考的机会，源樱率先冲向台下，完成了首个跳水。

Die-Hard FanStage diving?! Already?!跳水？！现在就跳吗！

FranchouchouAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

Amid their frenzied headbanging, Franchouchou starts singing in an equally frenzied manner. The audience is soon swept away by their demented howls.在疯狂的甩头中，法兰秀秀开始输出同样疯狂的歌声，而观众很快在这一声声的嘶吼中迷失了自我，加入了疯狂。

???Cluck-cluck-cluck!!!咯咯咯——！！！

Tae YamadaGah... gah... gah!!!咯咯咯——！！！

A rooster's loud crow suddenly erupts in the center of the hysteria.狂乱的泥沼中央，响起了嘹亮的鸡鸣。

Die-Hard FanIs that... Drive-In Chicken?!那是——DR鸡先生？！

Drive-In Chicken flies over the audience on a wire and lands on the stage.吊着威亚的DR鸡先生从观众们的头顶飞过，降落在了舞台。

He picks up a broken electric cable on the ground and raises it as if he was pulling a sword out of a stone...他自信地从地上拾起一截断掉的电线，犹如拔出石中剑般高举起来——

The next second, the backstage monitor goes black.下一秒，电视机的屏幕黑掉了。

CrewWhat was that?! What happened?! Why did it short out all of a sudden?!怎么回事？！发生了什么？怎么突然短路了！

While everyone around starts panicking in the dark, you smile serenely. You know it is truly Franchouchou's time to shine.身边的人都在黑暗中惊慌失措，只有你露出了从容的微笑。 你知道，法兰秀秀的闪耀模式开启了。

...You lean against the wall in a deserted corridor inside the Live House after the performance.……演出结束后，你独自靠在livehouse的僻静走廊。

Commander...Sure. Sure, that's great.……行，行，好。

You take care to keep your voice soft as you talk through the phone. Franchouchou has had an exhausting day, and you don't wish to disturb their rest.你刻意压低声音回应着电话的另一端，深怕打扰到疲惫了一天、好不容易可以休息的法兰秀秀。

CommanderOf course, no problem.好的，没问题。

You hang up the call at last and let out a long sigh.终于挂断了电话，你长舒了一口气。

NinjaWell? Is the concert the day after tomorrow secured?怎么样？后天演唱会的事是不是稳了？

CommanderWhen did you appear...?你什么时候出现的……

NinjaAnswer me!快回答我！

CommanderYes, the organizer wishes to keep collaborating with Franchouchou, and they've proposed a new project.是的，演出举办方希望能和法兰秀秀继续合作，并且还提出了一个全新的设想。

NinjaWhat project?什么设想？

CommanderThey want Franchouchou to do a charity concert. It will be broadcast on TV, and part of the profit will be go into promoting Saga's tourism. That includes preserving traditional arts and crafts, conserving historical sites and heritage, funding businesses that sell local specialties and souvenirs, etc.让法兰秀秀的演唱会作为慈善演唱会进行推广，而电视台转播演出的部分收入将作为佐贺的推广费用，包括但不限于传统技艺的保护、文物古迹的修护、特产手信的商业运营……

The ninja looks utterly stunned. You can see the darkened streaks of tears on his black face mask.忍者似乎失神了，你看见他黑色的蒙面布上湿润了两行。

NinjaThat's wonderful! All my effort in the last few days hasn't gone to waste...太好了，也不枉费我这些天的努力……

CommanderYeah, you also helped out big time tonight.是啊，今晚也辛苦你了。

Ninja... You knew?…… 你知道了？

CommanderIt couldn't have been more obvious.看不出来才有鬼了。

Tap-tap-tap... A series of footsteps come from the other end of the corridor.嗒嗒嗒—— 走廊的另一边传来一阵脚步声。

???Commander? Are you there?指挥官？你在吗？

CommanderThey've come looking for me. Perfect timing for them to thank— Ninja?她们来找我了，正好当面向你—— 忍者？

The ninja has vanished without a trace.忍者已经踪迹全无。

Sakura MinamotoThere you are, Commander.你在这里啊，指挥官。

CommanderYeah... Just here for some fresh air. All that screaming has left me a bit light-headed.嗯……我来透透气，刚刚欢呼尖叫得有点缺氧了。

YugiriThey're all looking forward to the after party.她们已经在期待庆功宴了。

CommanderAlright, let's go!好啊，我们走！

You start making for Franchouchou's dressing room, but you notice Sakura isn't keeping up after taking several steps.你朝着法兰秀秀的休息室走去，走了几步，你注意到源樱没有跟上来。

She stands rooted to the spot by the window where you just had a conversation with the ninja, seemingly lost in her thoughts.她站在你刚刚和忍者对话的窗边出神，不知道在想些什么。

CommanderSakura?源樱？

Sakura MinamotoOh, sorry, I spaced out.啊，抱歉，我走神了。

YugiriWhat were you thinking about?你在想什么呢？

Sakura MinamotoI was just thinking... it has been such a miraculous evening... First, the door magically opened by itself when Tae and I randomly got stuck in the storeroom...我只是在想……今晚真是个奇妙的夜晚啊…… 先是和多惠莫名其妙地被困在仓库，在焦急万分的时候，门居然自己打开了……

Ai MizunoYeah, a bottle of foundation also came flying in through the window when Junko and I were panicking in the dance studio. It wasn't the right shade, but at least that got us out of our pickle...是啊，我和纯子正在练舞厅着急的时候，竟然从窗外飞进来了一瓶粉底。 虽然色号不太对，但起码是解围了……

YugiriSame here. We've been searching for the outfits the whole evening to no avail, then they just appeared magically by the door. It really spooked Lily.我们也是，苦寻一晚的演出服，像是变魔术一样出现在了门口。 把莉莉吓了一大跳呢。

You smile as you gaze into the night outside the window.你笑了笑，看向夜色深沉的窗外。

CommanderSomeone must be watching over Franchouchou.一定是有人在庇护法兰秀秀吧。

57-A6-1 第六天·上午 · 57-A6-1

Beating Gray Tree in the showdown has bolstered your spirits considerably, and you've shared that encouragement with everyone...在PK秀中赢下灰树给你带来了极大的鼓舞，而你也将这份鼓舞带给了大家……

However, the only one paying attention to your speech is Lily. Ai is staring at the computer instead.但练舞厅内，只有莉莉一个人配合你的演讲，小爱则一直在看电脑。

You and Lily look over her shoulder and realize she's watching an Iron Frill concert... And when you look at the screen, your feelings of delight are promptly extinguished.你和莉莉凑到她的身边，才发现她正在看铁裙的演唱会…… 看着画面中的演出，你喜悦的心情像是被浇了一盆冷水。

Ai asks for your opinion on the situation. You are forced to admit that right now, Franchouchou is a long way off from being on Iron Frill's level, and Ai agrees.小爱询问你的意见。 你也只能坦然地承认现在的法兰秀秀面对铁裙仍有差距，而小爱也表示认同。

You are pleased to learn that Ai has set her sights far beyond your present victory.你意识到小爱已经将目标放在了比灰树更加遥远的地方，对此感到十分高兴。

She also tells you that no matter how long it takes, she's going to make Franchouchou the best idol group there is.小爱也向你表示，不论要花多久，一定会让法兰秀秀变成最优秀的偶像团体。

And they shove you to the ground without mercy.而你被无情地撞倒在地。

Sakura mentions that Junko is not feeling well today and steps up to handle this fan meeting.源樱提出纯子今天身体不适，由自己来和他们互动。

A crazed fan is unhappy with this and approaches Junko...一个狂热粉丝不满地逼近了纯子……

After great effort, you wriggle out of the crowd and stop him from going any further, while also smoothly changing the subject to something else.你费尽千辛万苦从人群中挤出，阻止了那名粉丝的行为，并不着痕迹地把话题转向了别的方向。

After the fans leave...粉丝们离开后……

57-W6-1 第六天·上午 · 57-W6-1

During a break, Saki suddenly snaps you out of your funk and proposes an idea.间幕，在你沮丧的时候，二阶堂突然振奋起来，出了一个主意。

In fact, one of the customers goes up to Saki when paying his bill to apologize to her. As it turns out, he was the caller who dissed Saki on air during the previous radio show. However, Saki's performance moved him, a fact which pleases Saki too.甚至在结账时，一位客人来向二阶堂道歉。 原来他就是之前在广播中对二阶堂大放厥词的听众。 而二阶堂的表演感动了他，令二阶堂十分高兴。

You calmly refuse the sale, but the cunning clerk has already tempted Tae into choosing lottery numbers.你冷酷地以没有钱为理由拒绝了，便利店小哥没有放弃，转而推销起十分钟后即将开奖的彩票。 你毫无波澜地继续拒绝，但狡猾的便利店小哥已经开始诱惑多惠选择起了彩票号码。

You weep inside as Tae picks 111111 and ask Tae to throw it away since you're certain that there's no way it'll win anything.你看着多惠选择的111111欲哭无泪，认定中奖无望，就让多惠随便找个垃圾桶扔了。

Ten minutes later, the draw results are revealed, and the winning ticket is 111111—十分钟后，开奖了，一等奖正是111111——

Day 6 – Noon 第六天·中午

You are sitting inside the television studio, feeling a little anxious.

You have made every preparation, and you believe that Franchouchou has also steeled themselves for what's to come.你坐在电视台的演播厅里，心里有些忐忑不安。 在昨晚确定了法兰秀秀演唱会形式后，你就下定决心要为她们宣传，让更多的人看见她们的闪耀之处。 这也是你坐在这里的原因。 你已经做好了一切准备，你相信法兰秀秀也一样有了觉悟。

Production AssistantLet me know when you're ready.准备好了，就告诉我。

Commander...Right.……嗯。

You can sense that Franchouchou has placed their fate in your hand. This isn't the first time you've held sway over others' fate, but this is very different. What you have in your hand is the girls' dreams. And you will fight for these dreams to the bitter end.你感觉法兰秀秀将她们的命运交托到了你的手中。 虽然这不是你第一次执掌他人的命运，但这一次很不一样，放在你手中的，是一群少女的梦想。 而你将为她们的梦想奋战到底。

CommanderFranchouchou.法兰秀秀。

You start speaking with a low and alluring voice.你用低沉、富有磁性的嗓音娓娓道来。

CommanderWe are a low-key idol group with a diverse and versatile repertoire. Rock, hip-hop, rap, jazz, R&B, reggae... we can do it all. Our group comprises No. 3, an extremely talented dancer who can learn a dance routine after watching it once, no matter the difficulty; No. 4, a prodigious song writer who can compose 50 original songs in a single day; No. 0, whose falsetto is even higher than Vitas'—我们是一支低调的偶像团体，曲风灵活多变，摇滚、嘻哈、说唱、爵士、R＆B、雷鬼……无所不能。 团体内，有舞蹈天赋爆棚的3号，不管是难度多高的舞，只需要看上一遍就能学会。 而创造天赋极高的4号更是一天就能创作出50首原创曲目，0号的高音域更是超越维塔——

Production AssistantStop.停。

The production assistant interrupts you expressionlessly.场记面无表情地示意你停下。

CommanderI think that would sound very impressive... If I heard that, I'd definitely want to buy a ticket to see them.我觉得这样听上去很厉害的样子…… 如果我是观众的话，一定会很想买票的。

It might be your imagination, but you think you just saw a vein throbbing on the production assistant's temple.可能是错觉，但你好像看见场记的太阳穴青筋暴起。

CommanderI want to go the wholesome and sentimental route and focus on the hardships that Franchouchou has experienced, the setbacks that they have overcome along the way...我想走温情感人的路线，打感情牌，重点讲述法兰秀秀一路走来经历了多少风雨，克服了多少困难……

Production AssistantLet's hear you rehearse it.你试讲几句？

CommanderFranchouchou...法兰秀秀……

You feel a lump in your throat just saying this word.光是说出这四个字，你的喉头就是一阵哽咽。

CommanderIn the beginning, we were just an unknown group. People wouldn't even spare us a glance even when we were busking for free in the streets. We often had to go hungry, we couldn't sleep, and we dared not complain even when we were treated badly at performances... But despite all the scorn, all the derision, we never gave up our dream! Our dream is to bring Saga—一开始，我们只是一支籍籍无名、在路边免费演出都没人看的团体。 吃不起饭，睡不着觉，哪怕在演出中被冷落也不敢发声…… 尽管受尽冷眼、尝遍嘲讽，但我们也从未放弃过梦想！ 那就是将佐贺——

Production AssistantStop.停。

The production assistant interrupts you expressionlessly.场记面无表情地示意你停下。

Production AssistantWhat do you think this is? Oliver Twist? Are you even talking about Franchouchou?!你这串场到什么片场去了？这还是法兰秀秀吗！

CommanderIsn't this the unspoken rule in the entertainment industry? Reasonable exaggeration plus a little bit of artistic embellishment?这不是娱乐圈的潜规则吗？合理的夸张，再进行一点点艺术加工？

It might be your imagination, but you think you just saw a vein throbbing on the production assistant's temple.可能是错觉，但你好像看见场记的太阳穴青筋暴起。

CommanderI want to go the friendly and approachable route and make Franchouchou seem more down-to-earth. I want Franchouchou to leave a good impression on the audience, so that they will come and support us at the concert.我想走亲和力拉满的路线，用幽默风趣的语言拉近和观众的距离，让他们对法兰秀秀产生好感，主动来看我们的演唱会。

Production AssistantLet's hear you rehearse it.你试讲几句？

CommanderFranchouchou.法兰秀秀。

You put on a benevolent smile and start introducing the group in a friendly and jocular tone.你面带慈祥的笑容，用最温和诙谐的声音讲解起来。

CommanderAll seven members were selected from girls with ordinary backgrounds. They are positively radiant on stage, but they are no different from the ordinary girls around you in daily life. They are very skilled singers and dancers, but they are also flawed like ordinary people. They are clumsy; they sometimes quite literally lose their heads. They can also be very childish and have a habit of gnawing on others' heads... But the moment they put on their idol outfits and step on stage, they—我们的七位少女都是从普通人中选拔而出，她们在舞台上光芒四射，而回到生活中，又是和你身边人相差无几的普通少女。 她们能歌善舞，但也有着普通人的缺点，比如总是粗心大意，不小心把头搞丢，或者还把自己当个小孩，喜欢啃别人的头…… 可是，一旦走上舞台，穿上偶像的服装，她们就——

Production AssistantStop.停。

The production assistant interrupts you expressionlessly.场记面无表情地示意你停下。

Production AssistantYou think you're very funny, don't you?你是不是觉得自己很幽默？

CommanderYep!嗯！

You nod with confidence.你自信地点了点头。

CommanderI believe such an introduction will make the audience find Franchouchou very approachable. Coming to our concert will feel as natural as coming home to them.我觉得这么说的话，观众一定会觉得和法兰秀秀没有什么距离感，会像回家一样自然地来到演唱会。

It might be your imagination, but you think you just saw a vein throbbing on the production assistant's temple.可能是错觉，但你好像看见场记的太阳穴青筋暴起。

Production AssistantRight. Go and relax for a bit. I'll write you a script.我知道了，你先去一边玩吧，我来给你写稿。

CommanderThank you very much.那真是辛苦你了。

Production AssistantHold on, why do I feel like I've been tricked...等一下，我怎么觉得我中计了……

CommanderShould I come up with another idea, then?那不然还是我再想想？

Production AssistantNo, thank you! Just wait outside!不必了，你先出去等着吧！

The production assistant starts rushing to put together your script as you leave the studio with an enigmatic smile.场记痛苦地埋首于赶稿中，你带着神秘的微笑走出了演播室。

You enter the VVVIP waiting room that the production unit has reserved for you. The moment you walk through the door, you spot a familiar figure waiting for you by the window.你走进安排给你的VVVIP等候室。 你一进门，就看见一个熟悉的身影站在窗边等你。

Kalina?It's been a while, Commander. Who'd have thought Franchouchou would improve by leaps and bounds in just a few days?好久不见，指挥官，短短几日，没想到法兰秀秀就已经成长了这么多呢。

CommanderWhat do you want with me?有什么事吗？

Kalina?Oh, don't be so cold.不要这么冷淡嘛。

Kalina enthusiastically invites you to take a seat. You can see the dollar signs gleaming in her eyes.眼中闪烁着金光的格琳娜热情地邀请你坐下。

Kalina?Let's talk business that will benefit both of us~我们来谈一谈互利共赢的生意吧~

CommanderI'm busy right now. Maybe some other day.我现在没空，改日再聊吧。

Kalina?I'm very interested in the Griffin base that you mentioned the other day!你那天说的格里芬基地，我很感兴趣！

Kalina?I did some research after our conversation, but all I could find about that was...后来，我去查找了一下相关资料，但我只找到了——

Kalina?"Girls' Frontline" is a gacha and real-time strategy mobile game that features a fascinating story in an expansive post-apocalyptic world! Hundreds of T-Dolls, illustrated by many renowned artists, assemble at Griffin! In these dark times, what will fate have in store for the Griffin Commander and the T-Dolls?《少女前线》是款二次元养成战术手游，战棋系统与即时战斗并行，引人入胜的剧情展现了宏大的末世世界！ 由众多知名画师绘制的百余位人形少女集结！末世浪潮下，玩家扮演的格里芬指挥官将与人形少女迎来怎样的命运？

Kalina?Commander, please give the order!指挥官，请下达任务指令吧!

Kalina?You are the Griffin Commander mentioned here, yeah? Word has it, you have hundreds of T-Doll subordinates. If we can turn them all into idols... Actually, we can just organize an idol bootcamp! It will be an insanely lucrative business opportunity!你就是这里所说的格里芬指挥官吧？ 听说你的手下有几百位人形，如果全部都能包装成偶像……甚至干脆搞个偶像练习营，那可是个巨大的商机啊！

Kalina?Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you agree I have a point? Please give me a tour of this Griffin base. I might even agree to working as your so-called adjutant...你怎么不说话？是不是觉得我说的有几分道理？ 请带我去参观一下吧，我也不是不可以去任职你说的什么副官的……

All the things you have experienced in the last few days flash before your eyes—all the laughter and tears you have shared with Franchouchou, the sense of confusion and loss when you tried to reconnect with the Griffin Dolls... Franchouchou laughing through tears after their performance last night. They gathered around and embraced you to express their genuine gratitude for your support...你的脑海中浮现出了这些天的种种，与法兰秀秀的欢笑和泪水，与格里芬人形重聚的迷惘和失落…… 最后一个画面，是昨晚演出结束后笑着笑着又落泪的法兰秀秀。 她们紧紧地抱着你，将你围绕在中心，发自内心地感激你一直以来的支持……

CommanderGriffin Commander?格里芬的指挥官？

You snicker as you rise to your feet, as if in defiance of the destiny forced unto you.你冷笑着站了起来，像是在傲然抗争压在你肩上的命运。

CommanderRight now, I am Franchouchou's Commander!我现在，是法兰秀秀的指挥官！

Kalina?Commander...指挥官……

CommanderI should head back to the studio and start campaigning for Franchouchou.我该去演播厅，为法兰秀秀拉票了。

You bid Kalina farewell and return to the television studio. You are fully aware this isn't the Kalina that you know, but you still suddenly feel conflicted about leaving everything behind. You suddenly realize that at this moment, you have truly become a part of Franchouchou. You stick together, through thick and thin.你告别了格琳娜，朝着演播厅的方向走去。 虽然你知道这不是你所认识的那位格琳娜，但你的心中油然升起一股将过往抛之脑后的复杂情绪。 你突然意识到，在现在这一刻，你才真正毫无保留地和法兰秀秀站在一起。 同进同退，同甘共苦。

Stage 6 -Point1 第六天·夜晚 · 6-Point1

You arrive early at the dance studio to begin your preparation. There is still half an hour before Franchouchou's scheduled rehearsal, so you've decided to use this time to clean the place.你早早来到练舞厅中进行准备。 距离和法兰秀秀约定好的时间还有半小时，你决定趁这个空隙打扫一下卫生。

Swish, swish... The sound of the broom sweeping the floor almost obscures someone's approaching footsteps.唰唰——扫把底端的塑料刷毛轻轻扫过地面，差一点就要掩盖住那个人的脚步声。

You stop sweeping, but you are in no hurry to turn around and look at the visitor.你停下清扫，但并不着急回头去看来客的脸。

???So this is where Franchouchou usually practice their dance numbers?这里就是法兰秀秀常来的练舞厅？

The visitor strides in without waiting for a reply.不等你的回答，来客就毫不在意地信步走进房间。

???The surface of the floor is too rough, the sound system is atrocious, and the A/C is broken. All in all, a terrible training environment. To think Franchouchou practice dancing at such an appalling place...摩擦力过大的地板，糟糕的音响设备，空调也是坏的。 评定为，恶劣的训练环境。 法兰秀秀竟是在这样的地方练习舞蹈……

CommanderA person's brilliance is not tarnished no matter where they are.身处什么样的地方，并不影响自身的光芒。

You turn around slowly and take in the silver hair, the cold features...你慢慢回头去看，银色的短发，冷漠的脸庞……

CommanderGr MG5...MG5……

Gr MG5?Hello, Franchouchou's Commander.你好，法兰秀秀的指挥官。

You no longer expect any Griffin Dolls to recognize you, but you still can't help but feel a bit disappointed.你不再抱有被格里芬人形认出的希望，但仍然感到几分失落。

CommanderWhat are you doing here?你来这里做什么？

Gr MG5?I came to see what kind of environment has nurtured a group that can defeat Gray Tree.来看看能够击败灰树的对手，是在什么样的环境成长的。

CommanderAs you can see, it's just an ordinary dance studio.如你所见，只是普通的练舞厅而已。

Gr MG5 walks over to the corner where you've stashed your training info and records. She picks up the latest logbook and starts flipping through it.MG5走向你堆放训练资料和记录的角落，她拾起最新的记录册随手翻了起来。

CommanderThose are all records of Franchouchou's daily training...那些都是法兰秀秀平常训练的记录……

Flip, flip... Gr MG5's finger glides over line after line of all the things you have written down every day. Her face remains expressionless the entire time, so you don't really know what to say. She looks at you once she has leafed through the whole book in her hands.唰唰——你每日撰写的一页页内容从MG5的指尖飞过。 MG5始终没有什么表情流露，让你也不知道该说些什么。 翻看完手中的记录册后，MG5望向你。

Gr MG5?Frankly speaking, these records are quite amateurish.坦率地说，这种记录方式有些业余。

CommanderI know...我知道……

Gr MG5?But I find them very touching.但很令人感动。

Commander...Huh?……啊？

Gr MG5?To be under such earnest and caring observation... To have your every gesture, expression, and even your daily mood all recorded so meticulously... It is a very lucky thing indeed.能被人用这样关切的目光紧紧注视，每一个动作、表情，甚至是每天的情绪状况都被记录在案。 这是一件难得的幸事。

Gr MG5 puts down the logbook and recomposes herself.MG5放下记录册，恢复到原来的样子。

Gr MG5?Thank you for obliging my sudden visit. I have learned a lot and got a better understanding of Franchouchou. I'll be taking my leave.感谢您允许我突然的来访，我收获了很多，也对法兰秀秀有了更多的理解。 那么，我就告辞了。

She brushes past you and exits the silent dance studio quietly, leaving no trace of her having ever been here. The corner of your lips lifts a little wistfully—you couldn't bring yourself to tell her what you'd wanted to say.MG5与你擦肩而过，飘然离开了安静的练舞厅，没有留下任何能够证明她来过的痕迹。 你扯了扯有些苦涩的嘴角，终究还是没能说出心里想说的话。

CommanderI've been watching you all the same way at the Griffin base, Gr MG5...MG5，在格里芬基地，我也曾这样注视着你们……

Stage 6 -Point2 第六天·夜晚 · 6-Point2

CommanderI'm heading off then.那么，我就下班了。

Convenience Store CashierHave a good one~请慢走~

You take off your store uniform and change into your own clothes before setting off to go back to the mansion.你脱下便利店的制服，换回常服，准备回到洋房。

As you pass by the racks, you notice two familiar figures huddled up and whispering to each other.在经过货架时，你注意到有两个眼熟的家伙正挤在一起窃窃私语。

M1897Say, do you think M1887 will like this dark red mineral water?你说，这个暗红色的矿泉水，M1887会喜欢吗？

Type 80... Take off your sunglasses first.…… 把墨镜摘下来再说话。

M1897It doesn't feel red enough. Nevermind...感觉不够红，还是算了……

Type 80Hey, don't forget why we're here.喂，别忘了我们来这的目的。

M1897I know. I just asked the customer at the door. It's not the Franchouchou members' shift yet.我知道的，我刚刚不是问了门口的顾客嘛，法兰秀秀的员工还没来上班呢。

M1897This convenience store has terrible hygiene. Look, dust on the rack behind their products!这家便利店卫生条件太恶劣了，你看，货架最里层居然有灰尘！

Type 80Put away your magnifying glass!把你的放大镜也收起来！

You stop walking and sneak up behind the two.你停下脚步，悄悄来到两人的身后。

CommanderHello?你们好？

M1897Ah!啊！

Type 80...Franchouchou's Commander?……法兰秀秀的指挥官？

CommanderYes. It's a been a while, M1897 and Type 80 of Gray Tree. What are you doing here?是的，好久不见，灰树的M1897和80式。 你们在这里做什么？

M1897Cleaning, obviously! ... Uh, well...当然是在打扫卫生！ …… 诶，那个……

Type 80We're just about to buy some lollipops.我们准备在便利店买些棒棒糖。

You look up at the drone hiding behind a hanging banner in the convenience store... and the other drone hiding on an empty shelf.你抬头看了看隐藏在便利店挂画后面的无人机，又看了看藏进售罄货架的无人机。

CommanderI'm sure buying lollipops require a lot of recon effort.买棒棒糖需要的情报工作还挺繁琐。

Type 80Drones are allowed in the convenience store.便利店又没有说禁止无人机入内。

M1897R-right!对、对啊！

CommanderI see...这样啊……

You know they have no memory of being your subordinates, but you still can't help but smile at them.即便明知她们没有身为自己手下人形的记忆，但你还是忍不住对她们笑了笑。

CommanderIf... I'm just saying if...如果，我只是说如果。

Type 80What?怎么？

CommanderIf you're here to "run into" Franchouchou, I'm afraid you won't this afternoon. They're all focusing on their training.如果你们是来尝试偶遇法兰秀秀的话，今天下午恐怕是见不到了。 她们都在集中训练。

M1897Oh... That's a shame...啊……太遗憾了……

CommanderYou'll get to see them at the concert tomorrow evening.明晚的演唱会就能见面了。

Type 80Right, let's go then.哦，我们走吧。

Type 80 recalls her drone and drags M1897 off.80式唤回了自己的无人机，拉着M1897离开。

CommanderWait.等一下。

Type 80What now?又怎么了？

You give Type 80 a pack of bubble gum.你将一包泡泡糖送给了80式。

CommanderBubble gum seems more like your thing.还是吹泡泡糖比较适合你。

Type 80Hm?嗯？

M1897Type 80 blowing bubbles...吹泡泡糖的80式……

You make no effort to explain yourself. You leave the convenience store after bidding them farewell.你无法解答两人的疑惑，打了个招呼后离开了便利店。

Once you're out the door, Type 80 puts a piece of bubble gum into her mouth a bit incredulously.80式看着你走出门口后，有些疑虑地将一块泡泡糖放入嘴中。

M1897I want one too.我也想吃。

Type 80I do enjoy this better than lollipops.口感确实比棒棒糖好。

Type 80 blows a bubble with practiced ease as she watches your receding back.对着你远去的背影，80式熟练地吹起了一个泡泡。

Pop.卟——

Day 6 – Night 第六天·夜间

You and the Franchouchou girls are all gathered in the living room of the mansion late at night.深夜的洋房客厅，你和法兰秀秀相聚。

You have been going through the rundown of the concert tomorrow countless times.数不清第多少次地，你们核对了明天的演唱会流程。

Sakura Minamoto...Hm, I think we're all pretty clear, but should we revise it one last time?……嗯，大家都清楚了，要不要再巩固一下？

Ai MizunoEnough, Sakura. We have the whole thing memorized.够了，源樱，我们都快能背下来了。

CommanderRelax, the concert will go smoothly.放轻松，明天的演唱会一定可以顺利的。

Sakura MinamotoBut we don't know how many people will show up...就是不知道会来多少人呢……

The living room, which was very lively just seconds ago, goes quiet in an instant.刚刚还热火朝天的客厅霎时冷清了下来。

Sakura MinamotoSorry, I...对不起，我……

Junko KonnoWe're all worried, but all we can do is to do the best we can.我们都很担心，但是，我们能做的也只有好好演出。

YugiriBesides, the Commander has been working very hard to promote the concert for us. I'm sure it will all pay off.况且指挥官这些天一直在努力为我们拉票，一定会有不错的反响的。

CommanderYeah, don't overthink it. Just relax and make sure you rest up tonight.嗯，别多想了，放轻松好好休息吧。

Lily HoshikawaLily has made some hot chocolate! Have some and you'll get a good night's sleep!莉莉泡了热可可，来喝一点吧！喝了就能睡得很香了！

The others' comforting words seem to have alleviated much of Sakura's concern. But you notice that neither Saki nor Tae has joined in on the discussion. Instead, they keep hanging by the door, looking outside.在大家的关怀下，源樱紧绷的状态似乎松弛了不少。 你注意到二阶堂咲和山田多惠没有加入到刚才的讨论中，而是一直蹲在门口向外张望。

CommanderWhat are you looking at?你们在看什么？

Saki NikaidoHush.嘘。

Tae YamadaUgh... gah... (She seems to be saying Romero's name.)啊……咯……（好像是想叫罗梅罗的名字）

CommanderWhat's the matter...?怎么了……

You feel compelled to also lower your voice.受气氛的感染，你也把声音放轻。

Saki NikaidoLook over there.你看那里。

In the quiet courtyard, Romero is standing below a tree. He is staring intently at the foliage like he has spotted something.冷清的庭院中，罗梅罗独自守在一棵树下，它固执地抬头望向树冠，似乎发现了什么。

Saki NikaidoDon't make a fuss, Commander. Let's not alarm the others.指挥官，别声张，免得吓到她们。

Saki NikaidoBut we have an intruder in the courtyard. Romero is keeping an eye on them.我们这小院进人了，罗梅罗正在盯紧。

CommanderWhat?! Who could it be?什么？！谁会来这里？

You start feeling nervous. Franchouchou's important concert is tomorrow. It would be bad if some journalist with questionable ethics managed to snap photos of the girls without their makeup. You decide to go out there to make sure this doesn't happen, but Saki has already beaten you to it.你的心情复杂起来，明天就是法兰秀秀的重要演唱会。 要是在这时被一些无良记者拍到素颜生活照，可就糟糕了。 想到这里，你决定过去确认清楚，但没想到二阶堂咲已经抢先走了过去。

Saki NikaidoLet's go take a look. Don't be scared, I've got you.我们去看看，别害怕，我会保护你的。

Commander...Right.……好的。

Tae YamadaWargh... awoo... (She's probably trying to prove that she's also very tough.)呜啊……嗷……（好像在努力表示自己很凶狠）

The three of you stop under the tree. The leaves are swaying gently in the night breeze.你们来到树下，茂密的枝叶正在晚风的吹拂下轻微颤动着。

RomeroWoof-woof-woof!汪汪汪！

Tae YamadaWoof-woof-woof! (She mimics the barking very seriously.)汪汪汪！（在很认真地模仿狗叫）

Saki NikaidoGet down from the tree! If you don't, I'll lift Romero up to get you!下来吧！你再不下来，我就把罗梅罗抱上去了！

???D... don't!别……别啊！

CommanderThat voice... Don't tell me...这个声音……难道是……

Die-Hard FanCommander! Save me!指挥官！快救救我！

Commander... So it's really you. Get down.…… 果然是你，快下来吧。

The masked girl with silver hair slides down along the tree trunk shakily.银发面具少女瑟瑟发抖地从树干上滑下来。

Saki NikaidoWho are you?你是谁？

Die-Hard FanI'm your fan.我是你们的粉丝。

Saki NikaidoHuh? You're telling me a suspicious creep like you...哈啊？这么可疑的家伙……

RomeroArf, arf!汪嗷嗷——

The masked girl inhales deeply, then starts singing with a trembling voice...面具少女深吸一口气，声带还有些颤抖地开始清唱——

Die-Hard FanLa-la-la-la... ♪“啦啦啦啦♪”

She sings one of Saki's individual songs while perfectly replicating all of Saki's body language.面具少女熟练地唱起二阶堂咲的个人曲目，动作都和二阶堂咲一模一样。

Saki NikaidoOh sheesh, stop it! You're making me embarrassed...哎呀，快停下！再唱下去我都不好意思了……

Die-Hard FanI really am your fan!我真的是你们的粉丝！

Saki NikaidoI believe you!现在我相信了！

Commander... What are you doing here?…… 你来这里做什么？

The masked girl produces a whiteboard out of nowhere. Two words are written on it in large font—面具少女不知从哪里掏出一块白板，上面写着两个大字——

You and the Franchouchou girls sit solemnly around the coffee table. The room is utterly silent as you all stare unblinkingly at the whiteboard that is currently lying on the table. Two large words have been written on it with a black marker pen— "SOLD OUT." Before you can wrap your head around the implication of the words, frenzied shouting can be heard from outside the window.法兰秀秀和你神情肃穆地围绕着茶几而坐。 房中寂静无声，你们都死死地盯着桌面的白板，上面用黑色油彩笔写着两个大字—— “售罄”。 在你尚未理清这个词语背后的深意时，窗外已经传来了狂热的呼喊。

Saki NikaidoSOLD OUT! SOLD OUT! SOLD OUT!售罄！售罄！售罄！

Tae YamadaKuargh... ugh... (She seems to be mimicking Saki.)咣……啊……（似乎是在模仿二阶堂咲）

Saki and Tae are trying to blow off some of their excitement by shouting and running around.这是二阶堂咲和山田多惠在用狂奔和呐喊消磨自己高涨的兴奋值。

CommanderI've been staring at the words for so long they don't even register as words in my brain anymore...看久了，已经不认识这两个字了……

Sakura MinamotoSold out...售罄……

Junko KonnoThe dictionary definition would be, "Having all available tickets sold completely and especially in advance."辞典上说，是全部卖完的意思。

YugiriSo basically... people have bought up all the tickets for our concert?也就是说，我们演唱会的票已经被卖光了？

Die-Hard FanYep, they've all been snatched up. Some scalpers are even trying to reap a profit by reselling tickets at a rip-off price...是的哦，法兰秀秀明天的演唱会门票已经被抢光了。 甚至有黄牛想要哄抬价格呢……

Ai MizunoLooks like we won't have to perform to an almost non-existent crowd this time.看来这次不会出现演出现场没有几个观众的惨况了。

Sakura MinamotoReally...?真的吗……

CommanderIn that case, just enjoy the show!事已至此，就好好享受演出吧！

Die-Hard FanFocus on your preparations. You have a tough battle ahead of you.安心准备吧，明天可是场硬仗。

The masked girl gives Sakura, who still looks incredulous, an encouraging pat. Her whole being seems to radiate reassurance.面具少女拍了拍满脸不可思议的源樱，整个人散发着让人信赖的安全感。

Someone tugs at your sleeve.你的衣角被谁扯了扯。

Lily HoshikawaCommander... Who exactly is this? How come she just slid into our conversation as if it's the most natural thing in the world?指挥官……这个人是谁啊？为什么能这么若无其事地加入对话？

Sakura MinamotoOh right, I didn't even question it...对哦，刚刚都没有注意到……

Ai MizunoExcuse me, you are...?请问你是？

CommanderOh, introductions. This is—忘记介绍，这位是——

The masked girl stops you. She lets out a gleeful chuckle, then she clears her throat—面具少女阻止了你，她发出了颇有几分得意的笑声，然后清了清嗓子——

Die-Hard FanLa-la-la-la-la... ♪“啦啦啦啦啦♪”

She breaks effortlessly into the dance routine of a number that Franchouchou has once performed. Her moves are impeccable.她轻盈地跳起了法兰秀秀曾经的公演曲目，动作可以说是无可挑剔。

Sakura MinamotoWhaaaaaaat?!诶诶诶诶——

Junko KonnoAll the moves...连动作都……

Die-Hard FanThat's right, I'm your fan. I will be there to support you at your concert tomorrow.没错哦，我是你们的粉丝。 明天你们的演唱会，我也会去应援的。

You can't shake the feeling that there's more to the masked girl's chuckle, but you have no time to think much of it right now. Franchouchou's joy and surprise wash over you like a wave. All you can do is to join them and share in their exhilaration.你总觉得面具少女的笑声颇有深意，但在此刻的洋房，没有闲暇让你思考。 法兰秀秀的快乐和惊呼像海浪般推着你前进，你能做的，只有加入她们，和她们一起欢呼尖叫。

57-A7-1 第七天·上午 · 57-A7-1

Early in the morning, you and Ai encounter Saki, who's acting a little weird.一大早，练舞厅内，你和水野爱遇见了有些古怪的二阶堂咲。

After a brief period of awkwardness, Saki asks Ai to perform some of Iron Frill's dance moves for her.在一阵纠结之后，二阶堂咲向小爱提出了要求，表示想要看小爱表演一次铁裙的舞蹈。

This bothers Ai, and she refuses Saki's request.困惑的小爱拒绝了咲的要求。

You, on the other hand, ask Saki for her reasons.而你则开口询问咲的打算。

Turns out she heard about Ai studying Iron Frill's concert videos and it made her think about how Ai was once a legendary idol. As Franchouchou's leader, she wants to see what "the peak of the industry" looks like so she could do more for the group.原来咲听说了昨天小爱参考铁裙演唱会视频的事，便联想到小爱曾经的传奇偶像身份。 作为法兰秀秀的领队，她想要见证“山顶”的风景，并为法兰秀秀多做一些贡献。

You can tell that Saki isn't talking about her doubts regarding her role as leader, and so you correct her— The truth is, Saki is a leader that everyone acknowledges. She just has to be herself and not stress herself out too much.你听出了咲对自己领队身份心存迷茫的话外音，便出言开导—— 其实一直以来，咲都是大家认可的领队。她只需要做自己，不必有太大的压力。

In order to prove it, you show her a few pieces of fan merchandise that you've prepared. Saki is surprised to find a lot of biker gang elements incorporated into their design.为了证明这一点，你还拿出了计划好的应援物，上面有很多暴走族元素，这令二阶堂十分吃惊。

You tell Saki that the only way Franchouchou will surpass Iron Frill is if everyone works together.你告诉咲，只有法兰秀秀的大家通力合作，才能超越铁裙。

Saki is fired up by your encouragement.咲受到你的鼓励，由此感到振奋。

Afterwards, Ai thanks you as well.事后，小爱也向你表示答谢。

57-L7-1 第七天·上午 · 57-L7-1

Inside the karaoke box, Junko and Lily are making the final checks for tonight's performance.练歌房里，纯子和莉莉都在为晚上的演出进行最后的确认。

Upon hearing your footsteps, Lily pokes her little head out of a bunch of costumes and eagerly shares her new ideas with you.听到你的脚步声，莉莉从一堆打歌服中探出了小脑袋，兴致勃勃地和你分享她的新点子。

Lily believes that part of Franchouchou's charm is that everyone has their own special characteristics, and she wants their costumes to reflect that.莉莉认为法兰秀秀的一大魅力就是每个人都有自己的特色，希望演出服也能体现出来。

Lily even has a matching costume for you since you're also an important member of Franchouchou.莉莉甚至给你也准备了配套的服装，因为你也是法兰秀秀重要的一员。

Meanwhile, Junko is listening to a recording of their practice session.另一边，纯子正在试听之前练习时录制的音频。

After several songs, you suddenly hear one with a markedly different style, like sunset clouds after a long day. You remember hearing something like this when you were watching TV with Lily.几支曲子过后，突然响起一首风格迥异的歌，犹如悠长岁月中的一道晚霞，你记得和莉莉看电视时听到过。

Junko notices your curiosity and tells you that this was her first No. 1 hit single and that she listens to it whenever she needs to cheer herself up.纯子告诉好奇的你，这是她第一次拿到唱片榜第一的歌，在想振奋起来时经常会唱这首歌。

You can definitely see how she managed to top the national charts with it back then, and you ask if she misses the past.你能想象到那时的纯子如何风靡全国，问她是否会怀念过去。

Junko shakes her head and says that she will get back up there together with Franchouchou.纯子摇摇头，她会和法兰秀秀一起，再次站上那个位置。

57-D7-1 第七天·上午 · 57-D7-1

You're going to begin the final preparations for the show this afternoon. As the stress starts getting to you, you decide to relax for a bit by going to the bathhouse. However, you unexpectedly run into a bunch of Franchouchou anti-fans, who are doing their best to smear the quality of Franchouchou's performance. You bite back your anger and decide to ignore them.下午就要开始进行最后的演出准备了，感到压力的你来到浴场，寻求暂时的放松。 没想到在浴场里也能碰见法兰秀秀的黑粉，他们对法兰秀秀的演出水平极尽诋毁，你压抑着怒火，决定不去理会。

Then, you hear angry growling from the main hall, which you immediately identify as Tae's. The two anti-fans don't understand what Tae is raging at them about, but they find it very noisy and decide to leave after bathing for just a while.没想到从大厅那边传来了愤怒的叽里呱啦声，你辨认出是多惠的声音。 两位客人没有听懂多惠的骂骂咧咧，只是嫌弃吵闹，于是没泡多久就离开了。

At last, you can continue soaking in peace. Soon, however, screams of alarm from the outside shatter your peace once again, and you immediately put on your clothes to see what's going on.你终于可以继续安静地泡澡了。 但很快，澡堂外的惊声尖叫再次打破了你的安宁，你立刻穿上衣服走去查看情况。

You happen to see Tae biting the two anti-fans and refusing to let go. Lots of forged smear material on Franchouchou falls out of their tote bags as she does.刚好看见多惠正咬着两个黑粉不撒手，从黑粉的随身包裹中还掉出了很多伪造的法兰秀秀黑料。

You pretend to go up to stop her, but in truth, you work in tandem with Tae to turn the tables on them.你假意上前劝阻，实则和多惠一唱一和地反将了黑粉一军。

After the anti-fans apologize profusely for their misdeeds, Tae finally lets go of them.在黑粉反复道歉之后，多惠才终于放过了他们。

57-W7-1 第七天·上午 · 57-W7-1

You enter the fast food restaurant and see Yugiri packing bentos. Before her lie the dishes she has made for Franchouchou.你走进快餐店，看见夕雾正在打包便当，她的面前摆放着为法兰秀秀准备的所有菜肴。

She says that there will be many things to do before the concert and they may need to spend the whole day at the venue, so she's packing some food for them ahead of time.她表示，演唱会前有很多事项要准备，甚至需要在演出场地泡一整天，所以她提前打包些食物做准备。

You notice that she's thoughtfully prepared separate dishes and portions for each member of Franchouchou.你注意到，她还贴心地根据法兰秀秀每个人的饮食习惯做了区分。

This is how Yugiri diverts her attention; she divides every important task into multiple small chunks and then focuses all her energy on completing each one. By the time she's done, there is a sense of accomplishment.这是夕雾分散注意力的方式，将一件重要的事拆成很多细碎的小事，并且全神贯注地完成每一件小事。等到回过头来，就会有一种成就感。

She believes that you're the same way with Franchouchou, finishing one little thing every day until the present moment, where both you and they have gained tremendously different things.她认为你和法兰秀秀的相处也是如此，每一天都在完成一件小事，一路走到今天，双方都有着极其不一样的收获。

57-Y7-1 第七天·上午 · 57-Y7-1

This is the last time you're working part-time with Sakura. You want to say something to her, but don't want to distract her before the show.最后一次和樱一起打工，你想说些什么但又不想在演出前让她分神。

In contrast to you, Sakura is in high spirits due ot the success of the rehearsal and her thoughts are of Franchouchou's bright future.与满腹心事的你不同，源樱因为彩排顺利情绪高涨，一心畅想着法兰秀秀的美好未来。

However, as Sakura is walking on the side of the road, a truck makes a beeline straight for her.然而，源樱刚走到路边，一辆卡车朝她笔直撞了过来。

Stunned, Sakura can't react in time. You try to save her, but you use too much force and pull off her arm instead.源樱怔愣住来不及反应，你慌忙伸手营救，因为用力过猛竟然只扭下了她的手臂。

Fortunately, you react quickly and scoop Sakura into your arms with your other hand, narrowly avoiding the speeding truck.幸好，你反应迅速，用另一只手将源樱捞了回来，躲开了飞驰而过的卡车。

Despite being rattled by the experience, Sakura's first instinct is to reassure you that she's fine, that as a zombie, she can't die.惊魂未定的源樱，第一反应却是来照顾你的情绪，让你放心，她是僵尸不会死的。

Still, you can't help but feel sorry for her, because it's got to hurt even if it isn't fatal. You're worried that after you leave, her continuous string of misfortunes will make her feel sad and alone.你还是有些心疼，就算不会死也会痛吧。你担心自己离开以后，那些萦绕着源樱的倒霉事件，会让她一个人默默难过。

However, Sakura shakes her head. She says she'll imagine having you by her side, so she won't be afraid anymore.源樱摇摇头，她会想象着你就在她的身边一起面对，所以不会再畏惧了。

You relax at last. Perhaps the same thing applies to you too...你终于放下心来，或许，对你来说也一样……

Day 7 – Noon 第七天·中午

After a busy afternoon, in the living room of the mansion.忙碌的午后，洋房大厅。

You take hasty sips from your scalding hot coffee and jot down important information with your other hand while you are on the phone.你坐在大厅中，匆忙享用着热气腾腾的咖啡，另一只手不断写下电话中的重要信息。

CommanderRight, outdoor variety show... Saturday... I've noted that down. Pleasure to be working with you.嗯，外场综艺演出……周六…… 我都记下了，还请多指教。

The phone rings again the moment you hang up. The entire afternoon has been like this. You have a mounting suspicion that the telephone is a device that rings non-stop when the receiver is down.你刚挂下电话，电话铃立刻响起，一中午都是这样的盛况。 你已经开始怀疑，电话或许就是一放下听筒会响个不停的装置。

CommanderHello, this is Franchouchou...喂，您好，这里是法兰秀秀……

You can only pick up call after call and jot down everything. Right now, Franchouchou's charity concert is getting a lot of media coverage. Their fans have also been busy promoting it on many online forums. Rolling your stiff and tired neck and shoulders, you seize this brief moment of respite to think about the performance tonight. All the effort you've put in these past few days will bear fruit in this very performance. You wonder how it will go...你只能不厌其烦地接起，记下每一个电话的事务。 现在，各大报刊都在发表法兰秀秀慈善演唱会的报道，连网上的论坛也全是法兰秀秀的粉丝们在活动。 你惬意地活动了下疲惫的肩颈，抓住短暂的休息间隙思考起今晚的演出。 你这一段时间以来的努力都将在这场演出中得到反馈，不知道究竟会走向什么样的结局……

Sakura MinamotoCommander, do you need a break?指挥官，要不休息一下吧？

CommanderI'm okay.没事。

A pair of gentle hands start massaging your shoulders. Your empty coffee mug has also been refilled.一双柔软的手已经帮你按摩起了肩膀，你空出的咖啡也有人为你续上。

YugiriDon't get too engrossed in your work, Commander. It's a sunny day, so you should go out and get some sun.指挥官，也别太沉迷工作了，现在阳光充裕，还是多晒晒太阳吧。

Lily HoshikawaYeah, work can wait!是啊，之后还有的忙呢！

CommanderI'll be right there.马上就好。

Saki NikaidoStop dawdling! The sun will be gone before you know it!别拖拖拉拉的了！太阳都快跑了！

You're just about to answer another call when Saki pulls out the power cable from the socket. You stare at the telephone that has instantly gone quiet. It suddenly dawns on you that this is the first time someone has asked you to work less, not more.你刚想接起吵闹不停的电话，二阶堂咲已经劈手拔掉了电话线。 你呆呆地看着瞬间哑掉的电话，突然意识到这是第一次，有人希望你能少做点，而不是承担更多。

Junko KonnoCome on! It is so warm and pleasant outside~快走吧，阳光真的很温暖~

Ai MizunoJust get up already!快起来了！

At the girls' insistent urging, you stand up from the soft and comfortable sofa and head outside lethargically...在众人的推动下，你从松软的沙发上站起，带着些懒洋洋的乏意，你走向了阳光明媚的屋外……

The amount of sunshine is just perfect. The calm surface of the sea glistens as it reflects the light. You listen to the sound of waves lapping against the reefs and breathe in the fresh air deeply. Now that you are finally relaxed, you notice just how exhausted you really are.正是阳光最好的时候，平静的海浪上漂浮着星星点点的反光，你聆听着浪花拍打在礁石上的声音，用力呼吸着新鲜的空气。 真正放松下来的时候，你才注意到身上的疲乏也涌了上来。

CommanderPhew...呼……

Sakura MinamotoWhat a beautiful day it is...真是美好的一天啊……

YugiriIf only this moment could last forever.要是能一直停留在这一刻就好了。

You nod in whole-hearted agreement.你也不由点了点头。

Saki NikaidoLet's do something to preserve this memory!对！我们做点什么，给现在这一刻留个纪念吧！

Junko KonnoThen we will always remember how we feel right now.这样以后就能回忆起现在的心情。

Sakura MinamotoBut what should we do?可是该做点什么好？

Commander...A. Take a photo together.B. Create a hand painting together on the wall.……A 拍张合照B 用手印在墙上作画

CommanderLet's create a hand painting together on the wall.我们一起用手印在墙壁上作画吧。

Sakura MinamotoHand painting?用手印？

Saki NikaidoOh, I know! You cover your palms in paint and press them on the wall, right?我知道！就是拿颜料粘在手上，然后用手按在墙壁上对吧！

CommanderThat's right.是的。

Junko KonnoI just so happen to have bought some paint. It's in the living room...正好我带了些颜料回来，就放在客厅——

Ai MizunoI'm not very good at painting.我不太擅长画画。

Lily HoshikawaLily has never painted with her hands either.莉莉也没有试过用手印作画。

CommanderIt's okay, it doesn't have to be a masterpiece.没关系，只是意思一下而已。

Sakura MinamotoI can't really picture it...想象不出来呢……

CommanderBasically...就是——

YugiriI think I understand what the Commander is suggesting. Our handprints can be like flowers blooming on a tree.我似乎明白指挥官的用意，让大家的手印如花朵一样，在树枝上一起开放。

Everyone focuses their attention on the blank wall in front of them. They can almost see a tall tree, its branches full of flowers made up of the Commander's and Franchouchou's handprints...大家都聚精会神盯起了眼前的白墙，似乎上面真的出现了一棵挺拔的大树，树枝上满是法兰秀秀和指挥官的手印聚集而成的花朵……

Saki NikaidoI'm back!我回来了！

CommanderHave you got the paint?找到颜料了吗？

Saki NikaidoI only found the red one!只找到了红色！

You picture a wall covered in red handprints. You are just about to suggest a change of plans when everyone has already started fighting over the paint.你在脑海中构思了下满墙红手印的画面，正想改变主意时，却发现大家已经积极地抢夺起来。

CommanderI'll have to try and salvage this with my artistic talent...只能凭借我的绘画天赋掰回一局了……

A few minutes later, everyone has left their handprints all over the gnarly branches you drew on the wall.几分钟后，大家都将自己的手印按在了你画的歪歪扭扭的树枝上。

Then you all stare at it in silence.接着，大家一起陷入了沉默。

Saki NikaidoThis looks so dramatic! It's all red!这看上去有点刺激啊！红通通的！

Ai MizunoYeah...是啊……

Lily HoshikawaLily finds it a bit scary...莉莉觉得有点吓人……

You shift your gaze away from the handprints as drops of red keep dripping down the wall. Although the effect isn't exactly what you expected, it still is a memento that belongs to you and Franchouchou. When you think about it that way, the tree doesn't look so bad anymore.你从满墙鲜红淋漓、还在往下流淌的手印上别开视线。 虽然效果不如预期，但这多少是属于你和法兰秀秀的一个纪念品。 这么一想，你多少觉得这棵树顺眼了几分。

Junko KonnoMaybe I should touch it up a little...?要我来弥补一下吗……

Ai MizunoIt's fine. We'll leave that till tonight. We should bring our stuff and set off soon!好啦，晚上再说吧，我们该带上东西出发了！

YugiriYes, it's time we headed to the venue and started preparing for the performance.该去演出场地做准备了。

Sakura MinamotoYeah, let's go!对哦！快出发！

You pull yourself together and also make your way back inside to begin the final preparations.收拾好闲散的心情，你也朝着屋内走去，准备进行最后的准备。

Tae YamadaArgh... ugh...! (She seems to have spotted something.)啊……啊……！（她似乎看见了什么）

CommanderWhat is it?怎么了？

Tae suddenly lunges at the railing and points at the riling waves near the coast. You follow her gaze, but there is nothing in the sea.山田多惠突然激动地扑到栏杆边，指着一波卷着一波翻滚到岸边的海浪。 你顺着她的视线望去，海浪中什么也没有。

Tae YamadaGah... agh... (Unintelligible gibberish.)嘎……啊……（语义不明的词汇）

Saki NikaidoStop drooling over all the fish in the sea. C'mon!别馋海里的鱼了，走了！

Tae keeps looking back at the ocean even as she walks away. Out of curiosity, you tarry a little. The waves splash on rhythmically, and nothing is happening.山田多惠一步三回头地望着海里，你好奇地等到了最后。 涛声依旧，什么也没有发生。

CommanderMaybe Tae was just mistaken...看来是多惠看错了……

So you carry on and return to the living room without noticing...于是你重新迈步走向客厅，你没有注意到——

The strange man wearing a black suit and sunglasses creeping silently over over the railing after everyone is gone.在你们离开后，一个戴着墨镜、披着黑西装的奇怪男人从栅栏下悄然爬上来。

He applies the red paint you've left behind onto his own palm and leaves his own handprint on the red tree.他悄悄使用了你们留下的颜料，在红灿灿的树枝上留下了自己的掌印。

CommanderLet's take a group photo.我们一起拍张合影留念吧。

Sakura MinamotoOh right! We've never taken any pictures together!对哦，我们都还没有一张合影！

Ai MizunoEveryone huddle close.各位来聚拢一下吧。

Ai has already turned on the front-facing camera on her phone. Through the blurry screen, you can see everyone packing in around you anxiously.水野爱已经打开了自己手机的前置镜头，透过模糊的画面，你看见大家慌张地聚集在你身边。

CommanderI'll take it.我来拿吧。

Ai MizunoIs everyone ready?大家都准备好了吗？

Lily HoshikawaH-hold on! Lily's hair is messy!等、等一下！莉莉的头发还没整理好！

YugiriIt's perfect the way it is~已经很完美了~

Sakura MinamotoWhat about me? Is my face too close?那我呢，我的脸是不是离太近了？

CommanderYou all look lovely!大家都挺好的！

Tae YamadaAwoo... (She noms someone's head.)嗷呜……（含住了谁的头）

Saki NikaidoStop dawdling already! C'mon, say cheese!别磨蹭了，来吧，茄子——

Saki snaps the photo before you're ready.结果连你也没准备好，快门就被二阶堂咲按下。

Sakura MinamotoI haven't put on the right expression!我还没摆好表情呢！

Junko KonnoSame here...我也是……

Saki NikaidoDon't sweat it! It's fine as long as we're all in there!没关系啦！大家都在就行嘛！

You open the image on the phone's album. The girls' faces are all squished against yours, completely filling the small screen. Your expressions are all a bit wonky, but the happiness of the moment is perfectly preserved. You love this photo.你打开手机相册，看见几个女孩神色各异的脸和你挤在一起，将窄窄的一方屏幕都填补满了。 虽然大家的表情都不够完美，但这一瞬间的欢乐却被完完整整地记录了下来。 你很喜欢这张照片。

Junko KonnoLet me see...让我来看看……

Ai MizunoAlright, save it for later. We need to pack our things and set off!好啦，一会再看吧，我们该带上东西出发了！

YugiriYes, it's time we headed to the venue and started preparing for the performance.该去演出场地做准备了。

Sakura MinamotoRight-o! Let's be off!对哦！快出发！

You snap yourself out of your leisurely mood and also make your way back inside to begin the final preparations.收拾好闲散的心情，你也朝着屋内走去，准备进行最后的准备。

Tae YamadaArgh... ugh...! (She seems to have spotted something.)啊……啊……！（她似乎看见了什么）

CommanderWhat is it?怎么了？

Tae suddenly lunges at the railing and points at the riling waves near the coast. You follow her gaze, but there is nothing in the sea.山田多惠突然激动地扑到栏杆边，指着一波卷着一波翻滚到岸边的海浪。 你顺着她的视线望去，海浪中什么也没有。

Tae YamadaGah... agh... (Unintelligible gibberish.)嘎……啊……（语义不明的词汇）

Saki NikaidoStop drooling over all the fish in the sea. C'mon!别馋海里的鱼了，走了！

Tae keeps looking back at the ocean even as she walks away. Out of curiosity, you tarry a little. The waves splash on rhythmically, and nothing is happening.山田多惠一步三回头地望着海里，你好奇地等到了最后。 涛声依旧，什么也没有发生。

CommanderMaybe Tae was just mistaken...看来是多惠看错了……

So you carry on and return to the living room without noticing...于是你重新迈步走向客厅，你没有注意到——

The strange man wearing a black suit and sunglasses in the corner of the photo. He furtively pokes his head into the frame like a gatecrasher... as well as a silent protector.手机上的合影的角落，有一个戴着墨镜、披着黑西装的奇怪男人。 他悄悄从相片的边缘探出头来，像是一位不速之客，又像是一位沉默的守护者。

A Night of Laughter and Tears 笑与泪的夜

...Thump, thump, thump!……哒、哒、哒！

The resolute beat sounds for the last time! You can no longer tell if it's your own heartbeat or the stomping on the stage. In any case, the sound that signifies the end of the performance rings in your ears.坚定的节拍来到了最后一次！ 你已经分不清是你的心跳，还是舞台上的脚步，总之这象征着演出结束的最后一声在你耳畔响起。

Your tense body loosens up as the applause and cheers come rushing in from around you like a tidal wave.你紧绷的身体松软下来，身边的掌声和欢呼声犹如托起你的潮水般涌来。

AudienceFRANCHOUCHOU!!! ENCORE! ENCORE!法兰秀秀！！！ 安可——安可——

Sakura MinamotoThank you!!!谢谢大家——！！！

Saki NikaidoThank you for your support!!!请多指教——！！！

Sakura's and Saki's voices are drowned out by the applause and cheers. The stage lights outline the girls' features and illuminate the beads of sweat on their faces. The show is over. Relief washes over you. Despite some minor mishaps along the way, the performance was brilliant overall, which is evident from the audience's response.源樱和二阶堂咲的声音也被淹没在掌声和欢呼中。 舞台的灯光勾勒出法兰秀秀们的轮廓，也照亮了她们脸上的汗水。 演出结束了。 你心里的石头也落地了，虽然演出途中发生了一些小意外，但整体非常棒，从观众们的反应就能看出。

Ai MizunoThank you!!!谢谢大家！！！

CommanderFRANCHOUCHOU!!!法兰秀秀——！！！

The curtain comes down, and you can't help but let out a shout of your own as Franchouchou slowly disappears behind the curtain. This shout has been bubbling inside you for a long time, and it's filled with your support and hope for Franchouchou. Now, it's time for you to join them in their celebration.幕布落下，你情不自禁对着渐渐消失在幕后的法兰秀秀发出自己的呐喊。 这一声呼喊压抑许久，但饱含了你的支持和希冀。 现在，你该前往她们身边，和她们一起欢呼庆祝了。

CommanderExcuse me, coming through!麻烦让一让！请让我出去！

However, the crowd, still buzzing from the performance, blocks your path like solid concrete. You try to circle around helplessly, but to no avail.然而，被热情浸透的人群像凝固的水泥般挡在你前行的路上不可撼动。 你无奈地绕了几个圈，始终无法钻过阻碍。

You're at your wits' end when someone tugs at you.在你百思不得其解的时候，有人拉了拉你——

Die-Hard FanYo, hello again.哟，又见面了。

The masked girl with silver hair has appeared out of nowhere again.又是凭空出现的银发面具少女。

CommanderWhat are you doing here?你怎么在这里？

Die-Hard FanHey, I'm Franchouchou's No. 1 fan. Of course I'd be here for such an important performance.我可是法兰秀秀的头号粉丝，这么重要的演出我当然要来。

Commander... You were on the stage just a few songs ago.…… 几首歌之前，你还在台上。

You point at the stage. Late Night Café and Gray Tree made a guest appearance and performed during the concert as well. Among the members of Gray Tree was a keyboardist that you've never seen before...你指了指舞台，在演出的中场，夜间咖啡馆和灰树作为友情帮唱也进行了演出。 而其中，灰树的成员里多出了一位你未曾见过的键盘手……

Die-Hard FanWhat?什么？

CommanderThat was you, wasn't it? Gray Tree's mystery member.是你吧，灰树的神秘成员。

Die-Hard FanWhat are you talking about? Gray Tree? That's just a group I've been a fan of before.你在说什么？ 灰树？不过是我之前粉过的团体罢了。

You look the silver-haired girl up and down suspiciously. Even through the mask, you can feel a sly gaze boring into your face. You've been puzzling about this enigmatic girl ever since you first met her, and your doubts have only grown as you spent time together over the past few days.你有些狐疑地上下打量起银发少女，即便戴着面具，你也能感觉到一束狡黠的目光通过孔洞落在你的脸上。 从第一次见面，你就对这名谜之少女产生了不小的疑惑，随着这些天来的相处，你的疑惑更是只增不减。

You decide to seize this opportunity to get some answers.A. Question her identity.B. Question her motive.你决定抓住这个机会解答你心中的疑问。A 质疑对方的身份B 质疑对方的动机

CommanderYou've been snooping around me. What are you up to?你一直在我附近观察，到底有什么目的？

Die-Hard FanOops, you got me there.被你发现了。

You snicker. Just as you thought.你冷笑一声，果然如你的猜测。

Die-Hard FanActually, I've been gathering information about Franchouchou.实际上我在收集法兰秀秀的情报。

Commander...What?……什么？

Die-Hard FanFranchouchou was just some obscure small-time group, so information about them was worthless. But now that they're a massive hit, I can make a fortune...以前，法兰秀秀还是个冷门小团体，情报也不值钱。 现在，法兰秀秀火了，我也正好可以小小赚上一笔……

Die-Hard FanDon't even think about it. You have no channel to sell anything yourself.别想了，你没有渠道，卖不出去的。

CommanderYou refuse to take off your mask. Is it to hide your special identity?你一直不敢揭下面具，我想是因为身份特殊吧？

Die-Hard FanOops, you got me there.被你发现了。

You snicker. Just as you thought.你冷笑一声，果然如你的猜测。

Die-Hard FanIn fact, I've been banned from all major performance venues.实际上我已经被各大演出地禁止出入了。

Commander...Why?……为什么？

Die-Hard FanOh, because several idol groups have reported me as a stalker.哦，因为有好几个偶像团体投诉我是私生饭。

Die-Hard FanNow, don't get the wrong idea. I am NOT a stalker; I'm just particularly interested in going through idol groups' trash cans and digging up things about their daily lives.别误会，我不是私生饭，我只是对偶像团体的垃圾桶还有生活琐事比较感兴趣而已。

CommanderYou...你……

You realize she is trying to throw you off by spouting nonsense.你意识到对方不过是用胡说八道来转移你的注意力。

You point at her angrily, but she just grabs your finger.于是你有些恼怒地指向对方，却被一把握住了手指。

Die-Hard FanI saw you wandering around aimlessly. You're trying to get backstage, yeah?刚刚看你在这一通乱转，是在找去后台的路吗？

CommanderYou got me there.你又知道了。

Die-Hard FanIndeed. Also, I know a shortcut.是的，而且，我还知道小路怎么走。

The outpour of indignation that you were just about to unleash on her is stuck in your throat as you eye her hesitantly.你刚刚还满溢愤懑的言语顿在胸中，犹疑不前。

Die-Hard FanC'mon, I'll show you the way.走吧，我给你带路。

Following the silver-haired girl, you soon reach the backstage corridor. You are still weighing if you should give her a piece of your mind when she turns to leave.跟随银发少女，你很快就到达了后台的走廊。 你还在犹豫要不要将刚才酝酿的话语说出口时，银发少女已经准备离开。

CommanderAren't you going to say hello to Franchouchou?你不去和法兰秀秀打个招呼？

Die-Hard FanNope, you should be spending time alone with each other.不去了，现在的时间是留给你们的。

CommanderRight, thanks.好，谢了。

Die-Hard FanCommander, don't forget that there are others waiting for you to return.指挥官，别忘了还有人在等着你回去。

CommanderHuh?啊？

You turn around, but the corridor is completely deserted except for you.你回过头，走廊上已经只剩下你一个人了。

As you push open the door to the VVVIP's dressing room, the noise inside hits you smack in the face—你推门走进VVVIP等候室时，屋内的喧嚣如一个猛浪打来——

Saki NikaidoWe smashed it!!!我们演出成功了——！！！

Tae YamadaAaarghwarghhughhh!!! (She seems really fired up.)啊啊哇唔啊啊啊——！！！（好像在激动些什么）

You take in the palpable elation in the room and feel a little conflicted. You've been working so hard just for this moment, but now that the moment is upon you, you cower in fear. Like Cinderella, who has dressed up lavishly for the ball, you leave in a panic as the clock strikes 12.你看着屋内的热潮，一时心绪有些复杂。 为了这一刻，你付出了这些天所有的努力，但在真正迎来的时候，你反倒瑟缩了起来。 就好像为了舞会而盛装打扮的灰姑娘，在迎来最为热闹的十二点时，慌乱离场。

Sakura MinamotoThere you are, Commander!指挥官，你终于来了！

Ai MizunoThey would've blown the ceiling off the place if you hadn't shown up.你再不来，她们快把这里的天花板都掀了。

You smile and walk towards the girls, who are all in a frenzy.你笑了笑，走向闹成一团的女孩们。

Yugiri hands you a bottle that she's prepared.夕雾将备好的饮料递给你。

YugiriThis will be our celebratory drink. It should be the MVP who opens it.这就当做是我们的庆功酒了，应该让最大的功臣来开。

Junko KonnoYeah, the Commander has really done so much for us...嗯，指挥官为了我们真的很不容易……

CommanderThat's not the point. This is supposed to be your moment, you know?怎么突然开始见外了？

Lily HoshikawaPop it open already, Commander! Lily is thirsty!快打开吧，指挥官，莉莉已经渴了！

CommanderOkay, I'll go get a bottle opener.好，我去找个起子。

You walk absentmindedly up to the table in the corner and rummage through a pile of miscellaneous items. The show is clearly over, and you know how things are going to end, so you don't understand why you are so fretful. You have been hiding in the safest fortress in the world. No matter how hard it storms outside, you are not affected at all. Unless...你心神不宁地走到角落的桌边，在一堆杂物间翻找起来。 明明已经结束了，连结局都已经握在手中，你不明白自己还在不安什么。 你已经躲在世界上最安全的堡垒里，任凭外面的风声雨声再大，也不会影响到你分毫。 除非——

CommanderWhat's this...?这是什么……

You come across a strange pair of sunglasses as you search through the clutter. For some unfathomable reason, you decide to put them on...你从杂物中翻找出了一副奇怪的墨镜，你鬼使神差地戴在了自己的脸上……

The lenses of these sunglasses are pitch black, and once you put them on, the entire world goes dark.这幅墨镜的镜片漆黑无比，一戴上，你的世界也黑暗了。

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

Commander... Hold on! What is happening?…… 等一下！怎么回事？

You try to take off the sunglasses, but your panicked fingers find nothing on your face.你想要摘下脸上的墨镜，慌乱的手指触到脸上才发现什么也没有。

???The wheel of fate is turning once more.命运的轮盘重新开始转动了。

CommanderWhat does that mean? Who are you?!什么意思？你是谁？！

???Life is a tree, and time flows like water from the crown to each branch. Don't you want to find out what fruit is borne at the end of each branch?人生是一棵树，时间如流水从树冠走向每一个树杈。 你不想知道吗？每一个树杈上，到底都结着什么样的果子。

CommanderStop talking to me in riddles!不要跟我讲谜语！

???It has been set in motion since long ago. It will not stop now.一切早已开始，此刻也不曾停下。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

... You open your eyes. At this very moment, you seem to be lying on the floor with a blanket wrapped haphazardly around you.…… 你睁开双眼，此刻的你，似乎正躺在地板上，身上胡乱地裹着毛毯。

CommanderWhat is going on...?怎么回事……

Your mind is blank. You feel like you have had a very long dream, but you cannot recall anything about it.你的大脑一片空白，看来是做了一个漫长的梦，但有关梦的一切你都想不起来。

CommanderI...我……

Beep-beep-beep... The communicator on the desk beeps sharply.嘀嘀嘀—— 桌上的通讯器发出刺耳的响声。

KalinaCommander, you're finally picking up! Are you alright?!指挥官，你终于接通讯了！你没事吧？！

CommanderI seem to have overslept... and I had a long, long dream...我好像睡过头了……还做了一个好长好长的梦……

KalinaPhew... I'm glad you're okay... What did you dream about?呼……你没事就好……梦见什么了？

KalinaI didn't become a boss and give you the cold shoulder, did I?该不会是我当上老板对你爱答不理了吧？

CommanderI don't remember...我不记得了……

KalinaWhat a shame. Anyway, just go ahead and take the day off. I've pushed all your meetings today to Friday.真是遗憾，那你继续休息吧，我把你今天的会议都推到周五了。

CommanderThank you, Kalin.谢谢你，格琳。

KalinaYou're welcome~客气啦~

After getting off the comms, you look blankly at the television screen, which is still showing the selection menu of the same game. You crack up at the ridiculously childish options.挂断了通讯，你茫然地望向电视屏幕，上面还停留在游戏选择画面。 幼稚可笑的选项让你不由哑然失笑。

"Please select your preference from the following options."A. A cute and gentle maid idol who can chop up three tons of firewood in a day.B. A cold and elegant Doll idol who can kick a hole right through your chest.C. A versatile zombie idol who can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball.“请从以下几个元素中选择您喜欢的选项。”A温柔可爱一天能劈三吨柴的女仆偶像B冷艳高贵一脚能踏穿胸口的人形偶像C唱跳RAP篮球全方位发展的僵尸偶像

You randomly pick an option and get up to tidy your room. You do not notice that the cursor has ignored your selection and is moving resolutely towards option C...你随意按下一项选择，然后站起来准备收拾下房间。 你没有注意到，你的鼠标无视了你的想法，坚定地走向了选项C……

Click. The wheel of fate starts spinning again.咔哒—— 命运的转轮重启了。

A Night of Neon Colors 荧光色的夜

...Thump, thump, thump!……咚、咚、咚！

As the last beat hits the ground, the Franchouchou girls all execute their final dance move in perfect unison!随着最后一个节拍的落地，整齐利落的动作齐刷刷收住！

AudienceAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——

Every member of Franchouchou has performed their routine with great accuracy. In fact, they have outdone themselves. Your ears are ringing loudly. You can't tell if it's from your own heartbeat or the crowd's cheering.法兰秀秀的每一位成员都准确地完成了自己的部分，甚至比平常还要出色。 你的耳畔在狂响，无法分清是你的心跳，还是观众的欢呼。

Sakura MinamotoThank you!!!谢谢大家——！！！

AudienceENCORE! ENCORE!安可——安可——

Sakura's voice is drowned out by the audience's fervent plea for an encore. The Franchouchou girls wipe the sweat off their faces and look at each other with glistening eyes. Having received the signals from her teammates, Sakura nods solemnly.源樱的声音被观众们的返场要求淹没。 法兰秀秀抹掉了脸上的汗水，熠熠发光的一双双眼睛望向彼此。 接收到信号，源樱郑重地点了点头。

Sakura MinamotoThank you all, we will end the night with an original song!感谢大家，我们最后为大家带来一首原创曲目！

Saki NikaidoThis is for you!!!请多指教——！！！

AudienceWAAAAAAHHHH!!!哇啊啊啊啊啊！！！

Franchouchou assumes a new formation. A perfect concert requires a perfect finale. But your work is already done. Now it's time for you to head backstage and wait to celebrate together with them.法兰秀秀已经利落地摆好了新的队形，完美的演出需要完美的落幕。 但对你而言，你的工作已经结束。 现在，你该前往后台，等待和她们一起欢呼庆祝了。

CommanderExcuse me, passing through...抱歉，请让一让……

To remain as unobtrusive as possible, you crouch down and make your way quietly to the exit.为了尽可能不影响到观众，你伏低身子悄悄走向出口。

Die-Hard FanAAAAAAAAH FRANCHOUCHOU!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊法兰秀秀！

The masked girl with silver hair is headbanging wildly in her seat, the exaggerated movement makes you worry about the health of her cervical spine. You hesitate for a moment, but ultimately decide to keep walking towards the exit.银发面具少女正在座位上狂甩头，那夸张的弧度让人很担忧她的颈椎健康。 你犹豫了片刻，还是继续走向出口。

Production AssistantAAAAAAAAH FRANCHOUCHOU!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊法兰秀秀！！！

You shove past the fanatical audience in your way and make for the exit with great determination.你拨开阻挡你的疯狂观众，坚定地迈着自己的步伐，走向出口。

Once you are in the backstage corridor, Franchouchou's singing is barely audible, and everything seems silent. Even the backstage crew are huddled around the stage monitor, watching the performance intently. While the whole world is enjoying Franchouchou's show, you pass by silently. A woman leaning against the wall outside the VVVIP dressing room awaits you.后台走廊，法兰秀秀的歌声被隔绝了大半，显得静悄悄的，连工作人员都趴在边上专注围观演出。 全世界都在欣赏着法兰秀秀的演出，只有你无声地路过。 在昏沉的夜色中，一个女人倚靠在VVVIP房外等候你。

Kalina?Congratulations, Commander. Franchouchou's show was a great success.恭喜你啊，指挥官，法兰秀秀的演出很成功。

CommanderAre you here to discuss collaborations? Come back tomorrow. I'm exhausted and done for the day.你是来和我谈合作事项的吗？ 明天吧，今天我累了。

Kalina?I just... wanted to offer my felicitations.我只是……想来祝贺你而已。

CommanderI see. Thank you.好的，谢谢。

You make room and gesture politely for Kalina to leave. But she just blinks at you curiously.你客气地让出了地方，示意格琳娜离开。 但她只是眨巴着好奇的眼睛看向你。

Kalina?Didn't you hold my hands and beg me to bring you back to the Griffin base? Why are you treating me so coldly now...你之前不是还握着我的手，求我带你回格里芬基地吗？ 怎么现在这么冷漠……

CommanderBecause I've realized that you are not the Kalina I know.因为我已经意识到了，你不是我认识的那个格琳娜。

Kalina?Huh...?诶……

CommanderBut you still have my gratitude for sending a Gray Tree member disguised as a fan to help Franchouchou.但还是要谢谢你，特意派出灰树的队员假扮成粉丝来帮助法兰秀秀。

Kalina?I have no idea what you're talking about...其实从上一句开始，我就不太懂你在说什么了……

CommanderGr G11, Gray Tree's mysterious keyboardist. Back when I was at a loss as to how to defeat Gray Tree, she came to my aid.G11，灰树的神秘键盘手。 在我不知道怎么做才能让法兰秀秀赢过灰树的时候，是她来帮了我。

Kalina?She did?!G11还干过这种事？！

Commander... Well, I'd better head inside.…… 好了，我该进去了。

You open the door, ready to leave Kalina behind and enter the VVVIP dressing room.你拉开门，准备丢下格琳娜进入VVVIP房。

Kalina?By the way, Commander, this Griffin base that you mentioned...对了，指挥官，你说的那个格里芬基地……

CommanderYes?怎么了？

Kalina?Is the woman also named "Kalina" still waiting for you?那个也叫“格琳娜”的人，是不是还在等你？

You suddenly feel a little conflicted. You turn around to say something to Kalina, only to find that she has already left.你的心情生出几分复杂，刚想回头对格琳娜说些什么的时候，才发现格琳娜已经走开了。

In the silent and empty VVVIP dressing room.空旷无声的VVVIP房间内。

You caress Franchouchou's decorations on the wall. You can almost still hear their laughter from when they put them up.你触摸着墙上法兰秀秀的装饰，大家一起动手装饰时留下的欢笑声仿佛还在你耳畔回响。

Through the stage monitor, you see that Franchouchou has vacated the stage. It looks like the perfect show has finally come to an end.透过舞台上的转播屏幕，你看见法兰秀秀已经走下了舞台。 看来这场完美的演出终于结束了。

You lounge comfortably on the sofa, enjoying this idle moment when you have nothing to do but wait.你惬意地倚靠在沙发上，享受着等待时无所事事的时刻。

Beep. Your phone chirps as you receive a text message.嘀——手机的短信音响起。

Sakura MinamotoCommander, we're coming!指挥官，我们来找你了！

You smile gently as you reach for the champagne, but after a moment of hesitation, you decide to pour yourself a cup of coffee instead. It's better to save the champagne for later so that you can drink it with Franchouchou.你轻轻一笑，伸手准备去拿香槟，犹豫了片刻，最后还是决定先给自己倒一杯咖啡。 香槟，还是留着和法兰秀秀一起喝吧。

You relax and close your eyes contently as you wait for the perfect moment to arrive. You raise the dark liquid slowly up to your lips...你放松下来，舒适地眯上眼，等待完美的一刻抵达。 黑色的液体缓缓地贴近你的唇边……

As you savor the bitter instant coffee, your world seems to be plunged into darkness.品味着苦涩的速溶咖啡，你的世界似乎也沉入了黑暗。

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

Commander... Hold on! What is happening?…… 等一下！怎么回事？

Your eyes snap open, but it is still dark all around.你猛地睁开双眼，四周仍然是一片黑暗。

???You have worked hard to give these children a perfect ending. The wheel of fate is spinning once again.你很努力地为这群孩子们争取到了一个完美的结局。 现在，命运的轮盘重新开始转动了。

CommanderWhat does that mean? Who are you?!什么意思？你是谁？！

???Life is a tree, and time flows like water from the crown to each branch. Don't you want to find out what fruit is borne at the end of each branch?人生是一棵树，时间如流水从树冠走向每一个树杈。 你不想知道吗？每一个树杈上，到底都结着什么样的果子。

CommanderStop talking to me in riddles!不要跟我讲谜语！

???It has been set in motion since long ago. It will not stop now.一切早已开始，此刻也不曾停下。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

... You open your eyes. At this very moment, you seem to be lying on the floor with a blanket wrapped haphazardly around you.…… 你睁开双眼，此刻的你，似乎正躺在地板上，身上盖着温暖的毛毯。

KalinaYou're finally awake.你终于醒了。

CommanderWhat is going on...?怎么回事……

Your mind is blank. You feel like you have had a very long dream, but you cannot recall anything about it.你的大脑一片空白，看来是做了一个漫长的梦，但有关梦的一切你都想不起来。

KalinaYou passed out in your room. You're lucky I found you just in time.你在自己的卧室中昏过去了，幸好我发现得及时。

CommanderI...我……

KalinaHow are you feeling?你现在感觉怎么样？

CommanderI seem to have overslept... and had a long, long dream...我好像睡过头了……还做了一个好长好长的梦……

KalinaWhat did you dream about?你梦见了什么？

CommanderIn my dream... there was another you...? She was you, but she wasn't either...梦里……好像有另一个你？ 是你，但又不是你……

KalinaWhat are you talking about?! Sheesh...你在说些什么啊！真是的……

Kalina mutters with exasperation as she brings you a mug.格琳娜嘟嘟囔囔地将杯子端到了你的面前。

KalinaTake your meds, Commander.指挥官，该吃药了。

CommanderOkay...哦……

KalinaGet some rest. I'll attend the meeting on your behalf.你好好休息吧，我去代替你开会啦。

CommanderThank you.辛苦你了。

KalinaAnd don't you dare play video games in secret again!不准偷偷打游戏！

After cleaning up the trash in your room, she jabs a finger angrily at the television screen just before she leaves.格琳娜收拾好你房间的垃圾，在离开前气鼓鼓地指了指电视屏幕。

Click. Once the door closes, you look blankly at the television screen, which is still showing the selection menu of the same game. You chuckle at the ridiculously childish options.咔哒——门关上之后，你茫然地望向电视屏幕，上面还停留在游戏选择画面。 幼稚可笑的选项让你不由哑然失笑。

"Please select your preference from the following options."A. A cute and gentle maid idol who can chop up three tons of firewood in a day.B. A cold and elegant Doll idol who can kick a hole right through your chest.C. A versatile zombie idol who can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball.“请从以下几个元素中选择您喜欢的选项。”A温柔可爱一天能劈三吨柴的女仆偶像B冷艳高贵一脚能踏穿胸口的人形偶像C唱跳RAP篮球全方位发展的僵尸偶像

You randomly pick an option and get up to tidy your room. You do not notice that the cursor has ignored your selection and is moving resolutely towards option C...你随意按下一项选择，然后站起来准备收拾下房间。 你没有注意到，你的鼠标无视了你的想法，坚定地走向了选项C……

Click. The wheel of fate starts spinning again.咔哒—— 命运的转轮重启了。

A Night of Rising Wind 乘风而起的夜

It is like a miracle. A miracle that is destined to go down in Saga's history...那仿佛是个奇迹。 注定被佐贺铭记的奇迹——

Franchouchou's concert.法兰秀秀的演唱会。

AudienceAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

Shimmery ribbons and confetti erupt mid-air and flutter down amid the audience's delighted gasps. The Franchouchou girls hold their heads up high as they strike their final pose, the dazzling ribbons and confetti reflected in their eyes.闪亮的丝带和彩片于空中爆裂开，缓缓从人们的惊叹声中飘落。 定格在最后一瞬的法兰秀秀抬起了头，她们的眼中也飘落着漫天璀璨的丝带彩片。

Sakura MinamotoThank you, we are—谢谢大家，我们是——

Saki NikaidoFRAN! CHOU! CHOU!!!法！兰！秀！秀！！！

AudienceFRANCHOUCHOUUUUU!!!法兰秀秀——！！！

AudienceENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!安可！安可！安可！

The music has long since stopped, but the audience is still utterly immersed in it. You look over the countless heads still swaying with excitement at Sakura... Who is gazing right back at you.音乐早已停下，但观众们还沉浸在其中，无法自拔。 越过无数个仍在兴奋摇摆的头颅，你望向源樱—— 源樱似乎也正看向你。

With tears glistening in her eyes, she gives you a nod before raising her microphone once more.她的眼中还噙着闪闪发亮的泪光，迎着你的视线，她点了点头，再度高举起手中的话筒。

Sakura MinamotoFor the last song of the night, let us all...今晚的最后一首歌，让我们一起——

Saki NikaidoTake to the skies!!!飞向空中！！！

Snap. The lights in the venue all suddenly go out, plunging the dazzling world into darkness.啪——全场的灯光骤灭，方才还闪耀的世界只剩下黑暗萦绕。

AudienceWhat happened?! Where's Franchouchou?!怎么回事？！法兰秀秀呢！

The audience around you stirs uneasily while you alone chuckle softly in the dark.身边的观众骚动起来，只有你在黑暗中轻轻笑了。

Using the faint light of her glow sticks, the masked girl with silver hair feels her way to your side.借助荧光棒的微弱灯光，银发面具少女摸索到了你的身边。

Die-Hard FanHey, what the hell is going on?! Why did they pull a vanishing act at the climax of the show?!喂，你们在搞什么鬼啊！ 怎么在演唱会最热闹的时候玩失踪啊？！

CommanderYou'll see.你等下就知道了。

Die-Hard FanSo you arranged this?这是你的特别安排吗？

CommanderJust a little surprise for you all.一点小计划而已。

There is a faint tremor coming from the floor as something seems to lift off in the dark.地板传来了隐约的震动，像是有什么东西在黑暗中展翅飞走了。

Die-Hard FanThat's...这是……

Whoosh! The light from the big screen pierces through the darkness. And on the big screen is—唰——大屏幕的光芒划破了黑暗。 而出现在大屏幕上的是——

Franchouchou riding in an airborne hot-air balloon!正乘着热气球跃上天空的法兰秀秀！

AudienceWhoaaa! They're in the balloon!哇啊啊啊——她们在热气球上！

Sakura MinamotoHello! We are going to perform this last song for you from up here!大家好！我们将在热气球上为大家完成最后一首曲目！

Saki NikaidoMake sure you keep your eyes peeled!大家可要睁大眼睛好好看清楚啊——

Ai MizunoIf you can see us, please wave your glow sticks!下面的观众，如果看得见我们的话，请舞动起手中的荧光棒！

Junko's lips quiver. Performing in a hot-air balloon must be quite a challenge for someone who is afraid of heights. You are starting to worry about her when Junko squeezes out a smile.绀野纯子的嘴唇嗫嚅了下，对于恐高的她来说，热气球演出还是有些困难了。 你正在为她担忧的时候，纯子挤出了一个笑容。

Junko KonnoI hope you'll enjoy... Ugh, it's soo high... Enjoy our show!大家要好好…… 呜，好高……好好看完我们的演出哦！

Lily HoshikawaHah! Yay! Can you see Lily from down there?!嘿——耶——下面的观众还能看见莉莉吗！

Tae YamadaAwoo... awoo... (She seems to be chewing on something.)嗷呜……嗷呜……（似乎正在咀嚼什么）

YugiriWhat a brilliant sea of stars...真是一片灿烂的星海啊……

Franchouchou's figures are clearly displayed on the screen, but everyone in the audience looks up and follows the colorful hot-air balloon hovering in the air.法兰秀秀的身影清晰地映现在屏幕，但在场的观众们颇有默契地抬起了头，追寻那抹悬在空中的彩色热气球。

Die-Hard FanWow, they're up there!哇，她们在那里！

CommanderYes, they're in the air...是啊，她们正在天上……

You also look up at those faraway girls like you would at stars in the night sky. You have fulfilled your promise—you have done everything you could to forge Franchouchou into the perfect idol group and sent them to the stars. Right now, all you can do is wait quietly for their return. You feel a bit forlorn as you gaze up at the brightest star in the sky.你也抬起头，犹如在夜空中搜寻星星般，寻找起那遥不可及的身影。 按照你许下的约定，你竭尽所能将法兰秀秀打造成了最为完美的团体，将她们送上了星空。 现在，你能做的，只剩下安静地等她们归来。 对着那颗夜空中最亮的星，你的心黯然想着。

Die-Hard FanHuh? Where are you going? Aren't you going to keep watching?诶，你去哪啊？不看了？

CommanderNo, I should start preparing for their after party.不看了，该去准备给她们庆功了。

You leave the hustle and bustle behind and head to the backstage area alone.你从热闹喧嚣中抽身离去，孑然一人走向了后台。

Someone is leaning against the wall in the silent backstage corridor, waiting for you.后台寂静的走廊，有人正倚靠在墙边等待着你。

Commander... What do you want with me?…… 有什么事吗？

Kalina?Just here to congratulate you on this unprecedented success of a concert.来祝贺下你啊，这可是前所未有过的演唱会呢。

CommanderThank you.谢谢。

Kalina has planted herself in front of the door. She shows no intention of letting you pass.格琳娜挡在门前，没有给你让出位置的意思。

Kalina?I didn't think you'd be any good as an idol group manager, but you defied my expectations and did a spectacular job.之前，我还以为你不会擅长做偶像制作人的，没想到，你竟然做到了这么完美的地步。

Kalina?You said you were a commander at Griffin. You must be a pretty decent commander as well, then?你说你在格里芬基地做指挥官，那你做指挥官的时候，一定也很厉害吧？

Commander...A. Nod.B. Shake your head.C. Stay silent.……A 点头B 摇头C 沉默

Kalina?So... is your work done at Griffin? Have you wrapped things up perfectly as you've done in Saga?那……你在格里芬基地的工作都完成了吗？ 就像你在佐贺一样，干净利落地完美结束掉了吗？

CommanderNot yet.还没有。

Kalina?Oh... So there are problems that even you can't solve?诶……原来你也有解决不了的问题吗？

You reach around Kalina to grab the door handle, but she puts her hand on yours to stop you.你伸手绕开格琳娜去触碰把手，她一把按住了你的手。

Kalina?Commander, if you had a choice... Would you choose to be Franchouchou's Commander or Griffin's Commander?指挥官，如果你有选择的机会的话…… 你是会选择成为法兰秀秀的指挥官，还是格里芬基地的指挥官？

Commander...A. Franchouchou's Commander.B. Griffin's Commander.……A 法兰秀秀的指挥官B 格里芬基地的指挥官

CommanderI would choose to return to my life and keep being Griffin's Commander.我会选择回到过去，继续做格里芬基地的指挥官。

Kalina?Even if your work there is tougher and more dangerous, and the pay is worse?哪怕那边的工作更加辛苦危险，待遇也更糟糕？

CommanderI will not abandon my subordinates. I promised to give them a life of peace.我不会丢下跟随我的属下们，我答应过，要带她们过上平静的生活。

Kalina?What about Franchouchou? Will you abandon them?那法兰秀秀呢？你不管她们了吗？

CommanderThey... they will be perfectly fine even without me.她们……即便只靠自己，也可以过得很好。

CommanderI would choose to stay in Saga and keep being Franchouchou's Commander.我会选择留在佐贺，继续做法兰秀秀的指挥官。

Kalina?Because the work here is easier and pays better?因为这边的工作更轻松，待遇更好？

CommanderThis is a time of peace. No matter how rotten my luck is, I won't have to constantly fear for my own life.这里是和平年代，再怎么时运不济，也不需要时刻担心生命安全。

Kalina?But what about the Dolls you've left behind at Griffin? Will you just abandon them?那你留在格里芬基地的人形呢？你不要她们了吗？

Kalina?No need to look so dour... I was just asking out of curiosity.很严肃的表情嘛……我只是随便问问而已。

Kalina?Not to mention, we don't usually have a choice, do we?更何况，一般情况下，我们都是没有选择机会的，对吧？

CommanderCan I go now?可以让我走了吗？

Kalina?Of course.当然。

Kalina smirks as she gives way to the door.格琳娜嬉笑着让出了门的位置。

Kalina?See you around, Commander.再会了，指挥官。

CommanderGoodbye.再见。

Kalina?I wonder, when and where will we meet again?不知道下一次相见，会是在哪个时空呢？

You pull on the door handle. The lights are off inside the room, and everything is pitch dark.你拉开门把手，屋内没有开灯，显得黑漆漆糊成一片。

Your hand fumbles along the wall, but you cannot find the light switch.你的手在墙壁上摸索了半天，也没有找到开关。

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

CommanderNot again?!又来了？

Clap, clap, clap... A bout of crisp applause comes from behind you.啪啪啪——你的身后传来一阵清脆的鼓掌声。

???You have worked hard to give these children a perfect ending.你为这群孩子们争取到了一个最为完美无缺的结局。

CommanderYou mean Franchouchou...?法兰秀秀吗……

???You have changed the course of destiny. Now it will continue in the direction you have chosen.你改变了命运的轨迹，现在它将按照你给予的既定路线继续前进。

CommanderStop talking to me in riddles! I just want to know what's going to happen!不要跟我讲谜语！我只想知道接下来会发生什么？

???Your destiny is in your own hands.你的命运，掌握在你手中。

CommanderYou—你——

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

You slowly open your eyes and find yourself sitting in the living room of the mansion. The sun is shining brightly outside, and even the dilapidated mansion seems clear and radiant in the sunlight. You appear to be alone in the silent building.你缓缓睁开双眼，此刻的你，正坐在洋房大厅中。 屋外阳光明媚，显得破败的洋房窗明几净，寂静的洋房中似乎只有你。

The calendar shows that this is the following day of the concert. According to Franchouchou's usual schedule, they should be out either training or working their shifts.从日历来看，今天已经是演出的第二天。 按照法兰秀秀一贯的日程安排，现在应该各自练习或者打工去了。

CommanderWhat about me...?那么我呢……

You stare at the flowers on the table in a daze. This is already the eighth day. You have fulfilled your end of the bargain. You can step out of this mansion with a clear conscience and start finding your way back to Griffin.你开始对着桌上的鲜花发呆。 今天已经是第八天了，你已经完成你的约定。 现在，你可以问心无愧地踏出这个洋房，寻找回到格里芬基地的路。

You have been looking forward to this day, but now that it is here, you feel a little sad. You have to admit that you've grown very fond of Franchouchou, and you are going to miss them.明明你一直在期待这一天，但等到它真的来临，你却反而有些惆怅。 你不得不承认，你对法兰秀秀产生了些许不舍。

Just then, you notice a note pressed under the vase. You pull it out and slowly unfold it.这时，你注意到花瓶下压着的纸条，你抽出来慢慢拆开。

Commander, we won't disturb you since you're still asleep. By the time you wake up, we'll probably be out training or working. Yugiri said she'd cook a nice dinner tonight, so look forward to it~ By the way, we have already asked someone we know to investigate this Griffin base that you mentioned. Miss Kalina also said she'd help. We believe that you will be able to find your way home in no time. But until then, please stay with us and show us the way!指挥官，看你还在睡，我们就不打扰你啦！ 等你醒来的时候，我们应该已经在练习或者打工了。 今晚夕雾说要做顿好吃的，还请你期待一下~ 对了，我们已经委托认识的人去调查你所说的格里芬基地了，格琳娜小姐说她也会帮忙。 相信在不久之后，你就能找到回家的路。 所以，在此之前，还请你继续留在我们身边，为我们指明前行的方向吧！

Even if you haven't said anything, they have already figured out what is on your mind.就算你什么也不说，她们也早就体悟到了你的心思。

CommanderEveryone is working so hard, I can't afford to be lazy either.大家都这么勤奋，我也不能偷懒啊。

After a comfortable stretch, you pick up a thick stack of Franchouchou promotional flyers and head outside.舒适地伸了个懒腰，你站起身来，捡起厚厚的一沓法兰秀秀宣传单走向门外。

Click. The warm sunlight envelops you. You squint as you take in the grass glimmering in the sun. This world is such a beautiful place, but it will be even better if Franchouchou's songs can be heard far and wide. This is your next mission.咔哒——暖暖的阳光扑进你的怀里，你眯缝着眼看向尖端熠熠发光的草地。 这个世界是如此美好，但如果能将法兰秀秀的歌声推向全世界，它将变得更加美好。 对于你而言，这就是你接下来的使命。

CommanderWell, I'd better do my best before I return to the Griffin base.那么，在回到格里芬基地之前，我也要好好加油了。

You leave the mansion to embrace a brand new day.你走向洋房外，迎接着属于你的新的一天。

A Night of Grayish White 灰白色的夜

...15 minutes before the show. You've already made it to the seat reserved for you in the auditorium. You get an excellent view of the stage from this seat—it is easily the best spot to watch Franchouchou's performance. Of course, it would have been a much better experience if you were not sandwiched between two familiar figures.……演出开始前十五分钟。 你早早来到了观众席中留给你的位置，这里视野绝佳，可以说是法兰秀秀演出的最好观赏点。 当然，如果没有将你夹击在中间的两个熟人的话，体验可能会更好。

Production AssistantAre you confident about Franchouchou's performance tonight?法兰秀秀今晚的演出，你有把握吗？

CommanderYeah... They'll be alright.嗯……还行吧。

Production AssistantI've been looking forward to this for so long...我可是期待很久了……

Die-Hard FanAnti-fans will always find fault in even the most outstanding performance. Not to mention this is Franchouchou, who has invited Late Night Café and Gray Tree for guest appearances. The Coffee Lovers and Gray Tree fans will definitely be here to cause trouble!再完美的演出，也总会有黑粉混入其中找茬的。 更别说是让夜间咖啡馆和灰树来做友情演出的法兰秀秀了，咖啡粉和灰树的粉丝肯定要来把天花板掀了！

Commander...It won't come to that.……也不至于吧。

Die-Hard FanWanna bet?要来打赌吗？

CommanderBet what?赌什么？

Die-Hard FanYou give me 10 yen for every boo from the audience tonight! If there isn't a single boo throughout the entire concert, I'll give you 10,000 yen!待会演出开始后，观众席每发出一个嘘声，你就输我10日元！ 如果全程没有嘘声，我就给你10万日元！

Production AssistantHow tempting. I'm also in.真是让人心动的赌局啊，我也来加入。

CommanderAlright, I'll be expecting a transfer of 10,000 yen from you then!好的，我就等你的10万日元到账了！

The lights in the auditorium slowly dim. It looks like the show is about to begin.演出场地的灯光渐渐暗下，看来演出即将正式开始。

You raise your neon fan sign confidently...你自信满满地举起了灯牌……

Two hours later. You have lost about 67,700,000 yen in total.演出开始2小时后。 你大概已经输了6770万日元。

The Franchouchou girls' features are twisted in pain and humiliation. Your own face is probably no better. You have never been one to give up easily... But right now, you'd rather be a speck of dust on the floor than a person.看着台上表情扭曲痛苦的法兰秀秀，你相信自己的表情也不遑多让。 你一向是不肯轻易放弃的人。 但这一刻，你甚至想要放弃人类的身份，化身为地下的一粒尘埃。

AudienceOff with you! You call that a dance?! And you're way off key!下来吧！跳得什么玩意啊？！音也没一个在调上！

Sakura MinamotoUgh... We're so sorry!呜……非常抱歉！

You open your mouth, but your objections die in your throat. You really can't argue with that considering the absolute fiasco Franchouchou's performance has been.你张了张嘴，反对的话语到了喉咙又被咽下。 以法兰秀秀刚刚意外频出、糟糕透顶的演出而言，你确实无法反驳。

The masked girl with silver hair slowly turns toward you with a dumbfounded expression.坐在你身边目瞪口呆的银发少女缓缓转向你。

Die-Hard FanAre these... alien impersonators or something?她们这是……被外星人顶替了吗？

CommanderMaybe...可能吧……

Production AssistantWhat... what kind of lousy manager are you?!你……你怎么做的制作人啊？！

CommanderI...我……

AudienceGet the hell off the stage!!!快滚下台吧！！！

The outraged crowd slings insult after insult. Yugiri tries her best to soothe a sobbing Sakura and Lily even though she can barely hold herself together.群情激奋的观众爆发出不堪入耳的怒骂，脸色难看的夕雾努力抚慰哭丧着脸的源樱和星川莉莉。

Meanwhile, Ai and Junko, both fighting to remain calm, are holding back a furious Saki.即便是强装镇定的水野爱和绀野纯子，也难以在维持平静表情的基础上，拽住愤怒的二阶堂咲。

The stagehand lowers the curtain to contain the commotion...为了平息混乱的现场，场控已经开始降下帷幕……

Die-Hard Fan...That's it?……这就结束了吗？

Production AssistantFranchouchou's fate depended on this performance! They will never recover from this train wreck!这场演出对法兰秀秀明明那么重要！ 搞砸成这样，肯定再也翻不了身了！

Smack! A Franchouchou fan sign thrown from who knows which direction hits you squarely.啪——一块法兰秀秀的灯牌砸在了你的身上，不知道是从哪个方向扔来的。

The sign has been viciously smashed, and Franchouhou's smiling faces are no longer lit up.灯牌已经被狠狠折断，法兰秀秀的笑脸也黯淡了下去。

Production Assistant... I gotta go.…… 我先走了。

The production assistant disappears in the crowd without a backward glance.场记小哥看也不再看你一眼，就消失在了人群中间。

Die-Hard FanHe looked totally heartbroken.那位小哥看上去伤心欲绝啊。

Commander...He must be very disappointed.……他一定很失望。

Die-Hard FanI just don't understand. They were spectacular in the face-off against Gray Tree, so where did it go wrong?我也很不理解。 明明之前和灰树的PK演出还挺精彩的，这究竟是哪里出了问题？

You replay the last few days in your mind. From the very beginning, you did not consider Franchouchou's training as a problem to be taken seriously. You just helped them practice their intonation and rhythm occasionally, and once you saw that they could beat Gray Tree, you grew complacent and forgot all about their training...你的脑海中回放着这些天的日常。 从一开始，你就没有把训练法兰秀秀当成什么需要攻克的难题。 只是偶尔会帮助她们进行音准和律动的训练而已，之后看见她们能够战胜灰树，更是自信地彻底将训练抛之脑后了……

CommanderHow did this happen...?怎么会这样……

You thought Franchouchou's training was no different than the paperwork sitting on your desk in the command center. If you leave it there for long enough, someone will end up sorting it out for you. But you forgot that this is not the Griffin base, and you don't have a diligent adjutant who does your work for you.你以为训练法兰秀秀这件事就像放在指挥室桌上的文件一样，只要你一直放着不管，一定会自动被谁完成的。 但是你忘记了，这里不是格里芬基地，也没有勤勤恳恳帮你完成工作的副官。

Die-Hard FanGo to the backstage to comfort them. I feel sorry for them.快去后台安慰她们吧，看着真可怜啊。

CommanderRight...嗯……

AudienceREFUND! REFUND! REFUND!退票！退票！退票！

You push your way through the crowd, almost hysterically. You dare not listen too closely to their angry mutters or meet their eyes.你失魂落魄地从愤怒的人群身边擦肩而过，不敢去听清他们嘴里含糊的话语，更不敢抬头看他们的表情。

In the VVVIP's dressing room. You shuffle into the room with heavy feet and are immediately greeted by a cloud of bleak misery. The Franchouchou girls have already removed their makeup and are weeping quietly on the couch.VVVIP房间。 你趿拉着沉重的脚步走进房间，一股沉闷酸涩的气息迎面扑来。 法兰秀秀已经完成卸妆，正坐在沙发上默默落泪。

Sakura MinamotoCommander... we... We screwed up the show...指挥官……我们…… 把演出搞砸了……

CommanderDon't cry... You're still young. You will still have lots of opportunities...别哭……你们还年轻，还有很多机会……

You make a futile attempt to comfort them with empty words as you slump down next to them.你徒劳地说着一些车轱辘话，颓然坐在沙发边。

Junko KonnoOur fans must be terribly disappointed...来看我们的粉丝一定很失望吧……

Saki NikaidoStop moping! Yes, we screwed up this time, but next time, we'll show everyone what we're made of!别说丧气话了！这次是我们没做好，下次我们肯定会让所有人都刮目相看！

Tae YamadaMunch... munch... (She is munching on some dried shredded squid dejectedly.)吧……唧……（有些没精打采地咀嚼着鱿鱼丝）

Lily HoshikawaWould anyone even come to our shows again...?真的还会有粉丝来看我们的演出吗……

YugiriAs long as we persevere, someone will stop and watch us shine.只要我们坚持下去，总会有人为我们停下脚步，看见我们身上的光芒的。

The air grows still and silent once again. You can hear the suppressed sobs. You desperately want to say something, but deep down, you know that nothing you say will change anything. All you can do is live with the guilt that you did not give Franchouchou's training the attention and dedication it deserved.空气再次沉寂，你能听见压抑的哭声。 你很想说些什么，但你很清楚，无论说什么，都无法改变结局，改变此刻的情况。 于是你只能在心里后悔，痛恨过去的自己没有在训练上用心。

CommanderI'm sorry...对不起……

This is the second time you've apologized to them. But unlike the first time, when you were full of determination to start over, this time you feel utterly hopeless.这是你第二次道歉。 不同于第一次时你充满重新开始的决心，这一次，你心如死灰。

Sakura MinamotoIt wasn't your fault...这不是你的错……

Junko KonnoCommander, please don't blame yourself...指挥官，请别自责……

Warm hands cover yours. Even now, they still trust you.温暖的手覆盖在你的手背上，即便此刻，她们依然信任着你。

YugiriDon't cry...别哭……

Lily HoshikawaCommander is making Lily cry...!指挥官这样，莉莉也想哭了！

The girls surround you and envelop you in a silent but firm embrace. You can feel their hot tears and woeful sighs on your skin.法兰秀秀围绕着你，形成一个沉默而紧密的拥抱。 你能感受到温热的眼泪落下，悲伤的鼻息洒在你的衣服上。

You can't help but close your eyes, hoping to escape from this moment of despair...你不由闭上了眼，想要逃离这绝望无助的时刻……

In the dark, there are no tears, no empty bravado. There is nothing there. You stand in the dark for some time before you realize something doesn't seem quite right.黑暗中，没有眼泪，没有逞强。 这里什么也没有。 你呆呆地在黑暗中站立了好一会，才意识到哪里不对劲。

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

CommanderWhere am I?这是在哪里？

A vaguely familiar voice speaks up from behind you.你的身后传来一个有几分熟悉的声音。

???You ruined the show for those kids.你毁了这群孩子们的演出。

CommanderI...我……

???If you could do this all over again, would you still let it end like this?如果能够再一次重来，你还会选择这样的结局吗？

???The wheel of fate has started to turn again.命运的轮盘重新开始转动了。

CommanderDo I still have a chance? Can I really start over?我还有机会吗？真的还能重来吗？

???It has been set in motion since long ago. It will not stop now.一切早已开始，此刻也不曾停下。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

You open your eyes and find yourself lying on the cold floor.你睁开双眼，此刻的你，躺在冰冷的地板上。

Your mind is blank. You feel like you have had a very long dream, but you cannot recall anything about it. The television screen is still showing the selection menu of the same game. "Please select your preference from the following options."你的大脑一片空白，看来是做了一个漫长的梦，但有关梦的一切你都想不起来。 电视屏幕上还停留在游戏选择画面。 “请从以下几个元素中选择您喜欢的选项。”

CommanderWhat is this all about...?都是些什么……

You're suddenly overcome by a terrible headache. You get up to look for some painkillers, so you do not notice... The cursor has taken the liberty to pick out an option for you.你被袭来的头痛吸引了注意力，于是起身寻找药物，你没有注意到—— 你的鼠标已经擅自为你做出了决定。

Click. The wheel of fate starts spinning again.咔哒—— 命运的转轮重启了。

A Loose Backdrop 松动的背景板

Tap... Tap... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! You count the beats for them under your breath as you watch Franchouchou dance to the music on the stage.啪——嗒—— 12345678、22345678！ 看着台上舞步不停的法兰秀秀，你暗暗在心中为她们数着节拍。

CommanderGreat! No mistakes so far!太好了！到目前为止都没有出错！

Only three more bars away from victory!距离胜利只差最后的三个节拍！

CommanderYou can do it, Franchouchou!加油！法兰秀秀！

If the last number is as flawless as the previous one, this show will be—如果最后一首曲目也能像前面一样完美的话，那么这场演出将——

Crack. Your ears pick up an ominous sound. You frantically try to identify the source of the sound. Was it a stage light? Or was it a mechanism below the stage?嘎吱。 你的耳中接收到了一些不祥的声音。 你赶紧寻找起声音的源头，是舞台的灯光吗？还是地板下面的装置？

CommanderSecurity Manager! Where are you?安保统筹！你在哪？

You search for the security manager so that you can borrow his radio and inform the stage manager of the situation. But before you can find him amid the enthusiastic crowd, it all just happens...你四下搜寻着安保统筹，想要借他的对讲机将这一情况反馈给监督。 你还未来得及从热情的人群中找出安保统筹，一切就这样发生了……

Rumble... The backdrop of the stage suddenly splits apart and crashes to the floor.轰隆—— 舞台的背景板突然断裂开，砸在了地板上。

It must have pulled on some power cables, causing all the stage lights to go out with it.似乎拉扯到了电线，导致舞台的灯光也一并熄灭了。

Sakura MinamotoWhoaaaa!哇啊——

Junko KonnoIs everyone okay?!大家都没事吧？！

YugiriWe're fine, we didn't get hit.我们都没事，没有被砸到。

You breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nobody in Franchouchou has been injured in the accident.你松了一口气，幸好法兰秀秀没有被波及到。

Ai MizunoKeep going! Carry on with the moves!不要乱！保持舞步！

Lily HoshikawaRight, pick up the beat! One, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four!嗯！回到刚刚的节拍，1234、2234！

Tae YamadaGuh... arghargh... (She is counting off the beats with great concentration.)呃……呃呃……（在努力数数）

Saki NikaidoMusic! Lights!音乐！灯光！

As the lights return, disaster strikes.随着灯光的再度归来，不幸的事情发生了。

JS-05AAAAAAAAAAH!!!啊啊啊啊啊——

PM06AAAAAAAAAAH!!!啊啊啊啊啊——

Late Night Café's temporary dressing room happens to be right behind the backdrop. As it collapses, exposing Late Night Café to thousands of people in the audience all of a sudden, JS05 and PM-06, who are in the middle of getting dressed, let out a heart-rending scream.背景板后是为夜间咖啡馆提供的临时准备室。 随着遮掩墙壁的倒塌和突然多出的成千上万名观众，正在进行更衣准备的JS05和PM06发出了撕心裂肺的尖叫。

Coffee LoverIt's JS05 and PM-06! Quick, we must protect our best onee-sama!!!是JS05和PM06！快守护我们最好的姐姐大人！！！

Sakura MinamotoOh no!!!糟了！！！

Junko KonnoSaki, say something!咲，快说点什么！

Saki NikaidoUh... Ah! Um...啊、啊！那个——

AudienceIgnore them!!!别理他们！！！

Coffee LoverHey, you did that on purpose, didn't you?!! You did this deliberately to humiliate Late Night Café!喂！！！你们是故意的吧？！ 肯定是故意让夜间咖啡馆出丑的！

Lily HoshikawaNo! It was really just an accident...不是的！这真的是意外……

Coffee LoverHow could you do this to Late Night Café?! We Coffee Lovers will not let this slide!!!你们怎么能这样对待夜间咖啡馆！ 我们咖啡粉绝不答应！！！

AudienceWho cares?! Coffee Lovers should just screw off!!!谁要你们答不答应！咖啡粉滚出去啊！！！

YugiriPlease remain calm... We have no intention of humiliating Late Night Café at all!各位请冷静一下……我们绝没有欺辱夜间咖啡馆的想法！

Coffee LoverCharge! We must defend Late Night Café!上啊！守护最好的夜间咖啡馆！

The Coffee Lovers scattered across the auditorium start banding together, and their shrill shouts prevent the show from continuing.分散在观众席间的咖啡粉们自发团结起来，他们高亢的喊声强行终止了演出。

The curtain slowly comes down to put a stop to the commotion...为了尽快平息纷乱，舞台上的帷幕缓缓落下……

CommanderHow could this happen?!怎么会这样？！

You jump up from your seat, anger threatening to overcome your senses.你从座位上跳起，愤怒快要冲昏你的理智。

CommanderIt was clearly an accident!这明明就是一场意外啊！

Die-Hard FanCommander, keep your voice down!指挥官！你小声点！

CommanderFRANCHOUCHOU!!!法兰秀秀！！！

Hearing your chant, the other Franchouchou fans join in to show their solidarity. The Coffee Lovers, determined to defend Late Night Café, won't back down either. The two sides thus clash violently.听见你的狂嗥，法兰秀秀的粉丝也加入了声援的阵营。 坚决拥护夜间咖啡馆的咖啡粉也不甘示弱，双方就此爆发了激烈的冲突。

Die-Hard FanCommander, don't lose your head! At this rate, there's going to be an all-out brawl!指挥官，你还是冷静一点吧！ 再这样下去，两边要打起来了！

Commander...A. Heed her advice.B. Defend Franchouchou to the end.……A 听从建议B 捍卫到底

This is the last straw. You have endured so much for Franchouchou and yourself. You refuse to submit to fate, which seems to take sadistic pleasure in tormenting you. You've decided to rebel and take destiny into your own hands!你早就忍无可忍，为了法兰秀秀的命途多舛，为了自己的再三波折。 你已经不愿再向这样莫名其妙折磨你的命运让步。 你决定反抗！要扼住命运的咽喉！

CommanderFRANCHOUCHOUUUU!!!法兰秀秀——！！！

CommanderFRANCHOUCHOU IS THE BEST!!!为了最好的法兰秀秀！！！

Die-Hard FanDon't be rash, Commander!指挥官！别冲动啊！

You ignore the silver-haired girl's advice and stride ruthlessly towards the congregation of Coffee Lovers.你将银发少女的呼喊甩在身后，迈着冷酷无情的步伐，直勾勾地冲向咖啡粉的聚集地。

Coffee LoverYour precious Franchouchou humiliated our Late Night Café in public!就是你们法兰秀秀！害我们夜间咖啡馆出糗！

CommanderI told you it was an accident!都说了是意外！

Relying on your years of combat experience, you knock one of them down with a punch and trip several more Coffee Lovers with a leg sweep. Soon, you beat them into submission and they grovel at your feet, admitting their mistake. At least, that was supposed to be the plan...依靠多年丰富的作战经验，你一拳击倒一个，一腿扫平一片。 很快，你就将咖啡粉打得跪在地上认错。 计划本来应该是这样的……

Coffee LoverLies! Excuses!不听不听！都是狡辩！

CommanderSo what are you gonna do?! Come at me then!那你们想怎样？！一起上吧！

You plan to take them down one by one like in action movies.你计划像动作电影中一个接一个将他们全部撂倒。

But when several burly muscleheads come charging at you...但事实上，几个身强体壮的壮汉立马狂奔着向你冲来——

Your sanity returns after several deep breaths.你深呼吸了几番，感觉理智回来了几分。

You look behind you. Franchouchou's fans and the Coffee Lovers have already come to blows.回望身后，法拉秀秀的粉丝已经和咖啡粉打了起来。

CommanderStop it! Stop fighting! Neither Franchouchou nor Late Night Café want this to happen!别打了！别再打架了！ 法兰秀秀和夜间咖啡馆都不希望看到的！

You raise your arms and try to break up the fight, but the fans, who are at each other's throats, can't even hear you. In order to put an end to this feud and get the show back on track, you shake off the silver-haired girl, who is trying to stop you, and make your way to the center of the chaos on your own.你振臂呼喊，但打得正难解难分的两拨粉丝根本听不见。 为了尽早解决风波，让演出回到正轨，你甩开阻拦你的银发少女，独自走向了混乱的中心。

AudienceFranchouchou is the best!!!法兰秀秀是最强的！！！

Coffee LoverBest my ass! Franchouchou has never even topped any charts! Late Night Café is the best!!!!放屁，你们音乐榜都没登顶过！夜间咖啡馆才是！！！

CommanderSTOP FIGHTING!!!别打了啊！！！

Relying on your years of combat experience, you narrowly avoid several flailing fists and draw close to a few veteran fans that you recognize.依靠多年丰富的作战经验，你险险避开几个挥舞的拳头，贴近了你眼熟的几个资深粉丝。

CommanderI said, stop fighting! Stop it this instant!都说别打了！快停下来！

Coffee LoverFor our onee-sama!为了最好的姐姐大人！

CommanderHey, your onee-sama won't want you to fight like thugs!喂！你的姐姐大人才不会希望你们这样打架的！

AudienceFranchouchou is the best even if they haven't topped any charts!没有登顶音乐榜也是最棒的法兰秀秀！

CommanderHold on! You're not even on the same page!等一下！你们俩根本没在一个频道啊！

You keep dodging punches while trying your best to put a stop to this pointless dispute. But no matter how hard you try, no one wants to stop. In the end, your patience has reached its limit...你在双方的你一拳我一拳之间不断躲闪着，同时竭力劝阻这场毫无意义的战争停止。 不管你如何努力游说，始终没有人愿意停下。 终于，你的忍耐抵达了极限……

CommanderHEY! ALL OF YOU, LISTEN TO ME!喂——都给我听着啊！

You raise your hands like a referee in a boxing ring, proclaiming the end of a match. But at the next moment—你高举起双手，犹如拳击场上的裁判般，试图同时拉起双方的手以宣告比赛结束。 然而下一刻——

THUNK. Two straight punches hit you almost simultaneously in the face. Your vision goes black, and your consciousness drifts out of your body into a world of darkness.砰。 两记直拳几乎同时击中你的面部。 你的眼前一黑，灵魂也紧跟着飞出了躯壳，直接来到了黑暗世界。

Commander...Is this heaven?……这里是天堂吗？

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

???This is Saga.这里是佐贺。

CommanderOh, so I'm not dead yet.哦，我还没死啊。

???The wheel of fate has started to turn again.命运的轮盘重新开始转动了。

CommanderWhat do you mean?什么意思？

???It has been set in motion since long ago. It will not stop now.一切早已开始，此刻也不曾停下。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

You open your eyes and find yourself lying on the floor in a cold hallway, wearing only your underwear.你睁开双眼，此刻的你，似乎正躺在冰冷走廊上，身上只穿着贴身的衣物。

CommanderI...我……

Gr G11Oh, you're awake.哦，你醒了。

CommanderGr G11, what are you doing here?G11，你怎么在这里？

Your mind is blank. You feel like you have had a very long dream, but you cannot recall anything about it.你的大脑一片空白，看来是做了一个漫长的梦，但有关梦的一切你都想不起来。

Gr G11You called me here...明明是你叫我来的……

CommanderI did?我？

Gr G11You said you couldn't beat the game I'd given you and asked me to come and help.你说你打不过我给你的游戏，叫我来帮忙。

Commander...What happened afterwards?……然后呢？

Gr G11Then I saw you charging out of your room with a cry and running down the hallway, all the while shouting something like... "Stop fighting!" "Stop it this instant!" "For Franchouchou!"然后我刚到就看见你狂吼着冲出卧室，在走廊上来回狂奔，嘴里还喊着什么—— “别打了！”“都给我停下！”“为了法兰秀秀！”之类的台词……

Commander... What's that supposed to mean? What even is Franchouchou?…… 都是些啥啊？法兰秀秀又是什么？

Gr G11I have no idea... And I'm sleepy...我也不知道啊……我好困……

CommanderWhere are my clothes? And why was I lying in the hallway?那我的衣服呢？还有，我怎么倒在走廊上了？

Gr G11You were dressed like that when you came running out... Oh, it was 45 who knocked you out. She said she'd spare you the humiliation of being seen like this.你自己穿成这样出来的…… 哦，是45把你敲晕了，她说要是被别人看见你这样，太丢人了。

Commander... So where's 45?…… 那45呢？

Gr G11She ran off looking for Kalina with a nasty grin on her face. I heard her muttering something about blackmail...她刚刚一脸奸笑地去找格琳娜了，好像在说什么有可以狠狠敲诈格琳娜一笔的东西了……

Your headache is getting worse.你感觉头更疼了。

Gr G11By the way, I just checked your game progress and you're still at the very beginning.对了，我刚刚看了下你的游戏进度，明明才刚开始嘛。

CommanderReally...?是吗……

Gr G11Yeah, but don't worry, I followed an online guide and selected the simplest option for you. The one with the zombie idols or whatever...嗯，不过放心，我已经按照攻略给你选择了最简单的选项。 就是那个什么僵尸偶像的选项……

CommanderRight...好……

You get up unsteadily from the cold floor and make your way back to your room.你虚弱地从冰冷的地板上站起，准备回到卧室。

CommanderGo find 45 and tell her that I'll remember this!你去找45吧，记得告诉她，这笔账我记下了！

Gr G11Okay...哦……

You twist the doorknob vehemently.你恨恨地拧开了门把手。

Click. The mechanism in the door engages as the wheel of fate starts spinning, and it all begins again.咔哒—— 把手的齿轮声和命运的转轮声重叠在一起，一切再一次重新开始了。

Don't Let the Music Stop, Dance Till You Drop 歌声不停，舞步不休

...In the living room of the mansion. It has been storming through the night, and the rain is finally letting up. You take that as a good sign.……洋房大厅。 昨晚下了一整夜的暴雨，刚刚雨势终于转小了。 你在心里断定，这一定是个好兆头。

CommanderIs everyone ready? We're setting off for the venue!大家都准备好了吗！要出发去演出场地了！

Lily HoshikawaLily is ready!莉莉准备好了！

Saki NikaidoFranchouchou, moving out!!!法兰秀秀，出发！！！

Saki hoists up her luggage and is ready to sprint off at your signal.二阶堂咲已经迫不及待地扛起行李箱做好冲刺的姿势，只等你一声令下。

Sakura MinamotoCommander, we're all set.指挥官，我们都准备好了。

CommanderSplendid! Franchouchou, all hands on deck!好！法兰秀秀，全体出发！

You walk up to the door and pull it open ceremoniously, only to see...你走到大门边，颇具仪式感地拉开了门，迎接你们的是——

A river flowing to the east.滚滚河流向东涌去。

Commander... Huh? Has there always been a river outside the mansion?…… 诶，洋房外面原来是河来着吗？

Sakura MinamotoHuh?! What is happening?! Did the mansion... get washed into the river?!啊！怎么会这样？！ 我们被……冲到河里了吗？！

YugiriThere should be quite some distance between the mansion and the river...我记得我们原来和河之间有一段距离来着……

Lily HoshikawaDid we get teleported?!我们会不会被传送到了其他地方？！

Ai MizunoPlease remain calm!大家，冷静一下！

Ai carefully pokes her head out and looks around.水野爱小心地把住门探头向外看去。

Ai MizunoWe haven't been washed away, but the roads are all flooded in the neighborhood.我们没有被冲走，只是附近的道路全部被河水淹没了。

Junko KonnoIt has only been raining for a night... How did this happen?下了一晚上的雨而已……怎么会这样？

CommanderLet's watch the news.看看新闻吧。

Still shellshocked, you turn on the television, but all you see is static on the screen.你心神不定地打开了电视机，屏幕上只有一片闪烁的雪花。

Plop! Something just fell from the roof and into the river. You only catch a fleeting glance, but you're pretty sure it was the TV antenna.啪嗒——什么东西从屋顶掉落到了河中。 只是仓促一瞥，你已经基本确定那就是电视的天线。

Sakura MinamotoWhat do we do? What do we do?! What about our concert?!咋办啊！咋办啊！那我们的演唱会咋办啊！

That's when the realization hits you. You rush over to the telephone and dial the organizer's number. The telephone is also dead.你如梦初醒，慌乱地扑到了电话机边，拨打了演出举办方的电话。 而电话机同样没有讯号。

Ai Mizuno... Commander, judging by the situation outside, I'm afraid the entire Saga is affected.…… 指挥官，看外面的情况，恐怕整个佐贺都遭殃了。

Junko KonnoOur concert...我们的演唱会……

YugiriIt's probably going down the drain along with all this rain.大概也要随着这场大雨付诸东流了。

Lily HoshikawaBoohoo... Lily doesn't want that!呜哇……莉莉不要！

Sakura MinamotoLily, don't cry...莉莉别哭……

The mood, which was still so cheerful and lively just a minute ago, is now utterly grim. You hover uncertainly by the door, watching the unfeeling river flow into the distance.方才还热闹欢腾的气氛瞬间落入冰点，你手足无措地站在门口，看着什么也感受不到的河水奔向远方。

Saki NikaidoI refuse to accept that! We've been preparing for the concert for so long! We've put in so much effort!我不同意！我们准备了那么久，付出了那么多努力！

Sakura MinamotoSaki, there's nothing we can do about this...咲，我们已经改变不了什么了……

Saki NikaidoI am the master of my own fate! I'm going to the venue even if I have to swim!我命由我不由天！就算是游，我也要游到演出场地看看！

YugiriDon't be foolish. The currents are too swift...不要做傻事啊，这样湍急的河水……

Ai MizunoIdiot, don't be rash!笨蛋，别乱来！

Junko KonnoCommander, talk some sense into her!指挥官，快劝劝她吧！

Saki stubbornly shoves past the teammates trying to stop her. Seeing the determination in her eyes, you start to waver.A. Agree with her.B. Stop her.二阶堂咲固执地推开了前来阻拦的队友，你看着她坚定的眼神，心情也开始动摇起来。A 赞同B 制止

CommanderSaki, don't do anything impulsive. It is too dangerous with this deluge.咲，别冲动行事，这么猛的水流太危险了。

Saki NikaidoCommander, how can you be such a wimp?!指挥官，怎么连你也这么怂啊！

Ai MizunoRight now, we must keep calm. Don't go taking any unnecessary risks.现在就应该冷静下来才行，别去做冒险的事。

Junko KonnoThat's right, we'll think of something together.是啊，我们再一起想想办法吧。

Saki NikaidoI'm going even if I must go alone!就算只有我一个人，我也会去的！

Saki NikaidoJust wait here for my good news!你们就在这里等着我的好消息吧！

Plop! Saki puts on a life jacket haphazardly and jumps straight into the river.扑通——二阶堂咲胡乱地穿上救生衣就跳入了河水中。

CommanderSaki!咲——

You can only watch as her petite figure bobbles amid the ferocious waves.你只能眼睁睁看着她娇小的身影在凶猛的波涛间沉浮。

Sakura MinamotoOhmygod, ohmygod, what do we do, what do we do...咋办啊咋办啊咋办啊……

You are secretly quaking in your boots. Saki keeps slicing her way through the choppy waves and advancing steadily towards the other side of the river. Suddenly, she stops swimming and turns around to look at you—你暗自在心里捏了把汗。 二阶堂咲一路矫健地破开风浪，平稳地朝着岸边推进。 突然，她停下了游泳，然后转身面向了你们——

Saki NikaidoSee? I'll be fine!看见没！我没问题的！

Ai MizunoIdiot, keep swimming!笨蛋，好好游啊！

CommanderYou're relieved to see that she is okay, but just as you are about to respond—你松了口气，正准备回应她——

Splash!哗啦——

A thick branch is suddenly swept up by the undercurrent and appears right in front of Saki. Unable to dodge it in time, she takes a solid hit and loses consciousness.一根粗壮的树干突然被暗流冲刷到了二阶堂咲的面前，来不及躲闪，二阶堂咲被树干结结实实地撞击，陷入了昏迷。

CommanderSAKI!咲！

Sakura MinamotoWake up, Saki!快醒醒啊，咲！

Without hesitation, you immediately put on a life jacket and dive into the river, paddling hard in Saki's direction.没有犹豫的时间，你立刻穿上了救生衣跃入河中，奋力朝着二阶堂咲的方向划去。

The murky water and obstacles lurking in the undercurrents all hinder your attempt to reach Saki.浑浊的河水，潜藏在暗流中的障碍物，无不干扰着你的前进。

But you have no time to worry about that or your own stamina bar as you paddle as hard as you can to get to Saki.但你顾不上这些，也顾不上你的体力条，你拼命划到二阶堂咲的身边。

CommanderSaki...咲……

You take in the black, raging waves before you.你的眼前被黑色的波涛冲刷着。

CommanderSaki, I'm coming with you.咲，我跟你一起去。

Saki NikaidoCommander! I knew you'd stand with me!指挥官！我就知道你一定会站在我的身边！

Ai MizunoWhy are you also being such an idiot?!怎么连你也变笨蛋了！

The girls start yammering in surprise, but you stand by your decision.洋房大厅瞬间炸开了锅，但你依然坚持选择。

Saki NikaidoJust wait here for us to return with good news!你们就在这等着我们的好消息吧！

CommanderThe concert must go ahead tonight!今晚的演唱会一定要举行！

Junko KonnoCommander, maybe you should reconsider...指挥官，再想想吧……

Lily HoshikawaThis is too risky!这也太冒险了！

You and Saki look at each other and find courage in each other's eyes.你和二阶堂咲对视了一眼，彼此都从眼神中找到了勇气。

After putting on the life jackets that you've dug out from the mansion, the two of you stand at the door and behold the raging river.套上洋房中翻找出来的救生衣后，你们站在了门前，直面汹涌的河流。

Saki NikaidoOff we go!出发！

CommanderChaaaarge!冲啊！

Splash! The two of you dive into the water in unison, and you start paddling after Saki towards the other side of the river.扑通—— 整齐划一的落水声后，你跟在二阶堂咲奋力游动的身影后面，朝着看上去近在眼前的岸边划去。

Saki NikaidoCommander, try to keep up!指挥官，可别落后我太多！

You feel quite reassured as you watch Saki slicing through the waves ahead of you and leading the way.你看着前方二阶堂咲矫健地破开河面，为你开辟出航线，感到一阵心安。

But at that very moment, the athletic figure suddenly stalls.但就在此刻，那个矫健的身影突然一滞。

CommanderWhat's wrong?怎么了？

Saki NikaidoHELP! I'VE GOT A CRAMP!救命啊！我抽筋了！

CommanderHuh?!啊？！

You pick up the pace and paddle quickly towards Saki, but she is being swept away by the river faster than you can swim...你赶紧加快划速，朝着二阶堂咲的方向而去，但她被河水冲走的速度远快于你……

CommanderSAKI!咲！

Saki Nikaido(Gargles)咕嘟嘟嘟……

You paddle towards her with reckless abandon, paying no heed to the obstacles in the water and your own stamina bar...你不顾一切地划向她，看不见水中的障碍物，也看不见自己的体力条——

Thunk! You feel a dull soreness on the back of your head, like you've been struck by something.咚—— 你感觉后脑勺闷闷的，像是被什么敲击了。

Something seems to be clutching you in the dark.黑暗中，似乎有什么东西紧抓你不放。

???Commander!指挥官！

Faint and muffled voices swirl around your ears.混沌的被稀释模糊的声音在你耳边荡漾。

???Quick, save the Commander!快救救指挥官啊！

You can't tell who it is, but you can hear the despair in her voice...你分辨不出是谁，你只能感觉到声音中的悲怆……

... You open your eyes and find yourself in a familiar bedroom.…… 你睁开双眼，面前是熟悉的卧室。

Commander... I'm back?…… 我回来了？

You stumble up to the window and draw the curtains. It is already night time.你走到窗边拉开窗帘，外面已是沉沉的夜。

CommanderCrap! The concert!糟了！演唱会！

Not even bothering to put on your shoes, you dash into the living room...连鞋也顾不上穿，你匆匆跑向大厅……

The living room is completely dark; the lights are all off. A sinking feeling of loneliness wells up inside you as the cold seeps into your feet.大厅中一片漆黑，没有开灯。 你感到一股孤寂和冰冷从脚底升起。

CommanderSakura? Ai? Junko? ...Saki? Yugiri? Lily? Tae? ... Romero?樱？小爱？纯子？ ……咲？夕雾？莉莉？多惠？ …… 罗梅罗？

No answer. You are starting to panic.没有任何回应。 你的心开始慌乱起来。

???3!3！

The lights go on, and your vision brightens up. Franchouchou are standing in formation in front of you with big smiles.灯光重新燃起，你的眼前一片明亮。 法兰秀秀在你的面前排开了队形，脸上带着灿烂的笑容。

Saki NikaidoFRANCHOUCHOU!!!法兰秀秀！！！

The moment the music starts playing, you feel your eyes brimming with tears.音乐响起的瞬间，你感觉眼泪也快要跟着落下。

They start dancing a familiar routine that you've helped them rehearse over a hundred times, but you still feel extremely moved watching it with your own eyes once more.她们在你眼前跳起了熟悉的舞蹈，你曾帮助排练过上百次，但再一次亲眼看见，你仍然觉得万分感动。

CommanderFranchouchou...法兰秀秀……

You pick up the glow sticks on the floor and start waving them. At this moment, you are the only audience at Franchouchou's concert; you must do your best to support them. You choke back a sob and return their smiles with an even brighter grin.你捡起地上的荧光棒挥舞起来。 此刻，你就是法兰秀秀演唱会的唯一观众，你要竭尽全力为她们应援。 你吞下了哽咽，扬起比她们更加灿烂的笑容。

RomeroAWOOOOO!!!汪呜——！！！

Your intense shouts pierce through the stifling gloom. Franchouchou may have lost their performance venue, but they have not lost the courage and faith to keep going.你声嘶力竭的应援划破了这沉重的夜晚。 法兰秀秀失去了演出场地，但她们没有失去继续前进的勇气和信念。

With tears streaming down your face, you shout and scream until you completely wear yourself out...你一边泪流满面，一边大喊大叫，直到体力消耗殆尽……

CommanderDid I pass out again?我又昏过去了吗？

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea...船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音……

... You open your eyes and find yourself being dragged along an icy surface, wearing nothing but some soaking-wet underwear.…… 你睁开双眼，此刻的你，似乎正躺在冰面上被谁拖拽着，身上是湿淋淋的冰冷内衣。

CommanderI...我……

CommanderATCHOO!阿嚏——！

Kalina, whose cheeks are red from the cold, falls to her knees and hugs you.脸蛋被冻得红红的格琳娜扑到你的身上。

Ring... Ring... Your cell phone suddenly rings.叮铃铃——你的手机在这时响起。

CommanderHello? Sakura?喂，樱？

Sakura MinamotoCommander! Miss Kalina, Late Night Café's manager, just came and spoke to us. She said things aren't looking good in the auditorium and asked us to perform a number together with Late Night Café to ease the...指挥官！刚刚夜间咖啡馆的经纪人格琳娜小姐来找我们。 她说台下现在氛围很糟糕，让我们跟夜间咖啡馆共演一曲来缓解下……

CommanderDoing an ad hoc joint performance right now is too risky. Our style may be similar to Late Night Café's, but we aren't too familiar with their work.在这个时候临时加入共演节目，风险太大了。 虽然我们跟夜间咖啡馆的风格接近，但对她们的作品并不熟悉。

Sakura MinamotoActually... after we lost to them last time, Junko and Ai helped us analyze Late Night Café's work... We've also been practicing their classic tracks in secret...其实……输了的那一次后，纯子和小爱有帮我们分析夜间咖啡馆的作品…… 我们还偷偷练习过她们的经典曲目……

Commander... So you're telling me you'll have no trouble keeping up with them if you're going to do a joint performance?…… 也就是说，如果和夜间咖啡馆共演的话，我们完全可以跟上她们的节奏？

Sakura MinamotoYes, we're confident about that.嗯，我们有这个信心。

CommanderLet me think about it.让我考虑下。

Sakura MinamotoSo what answer should I give Miss Kalina?那我该怎么向格琳娜小姐回话？

KalinaHey, it's me.喂，是我。

CommanderSakura told me about your idea of a joint performance, but I'm afraid I don't—共演的事我已经知道了，很抱歉，我不同——

You suddenly feel a sharp pain on your toes. You look up from the large foot crushing your toes and come face-to-face with the production assistant from earlier.你的脚趾蓦地传来一阵剧痛，你循着踩在你鞋上的愤怒大脚望去，是场记小哥。

He has just pulled his ear away from your cell phone and is now glaring hard at you, gesturing for you to answer in the affirmative.他刚将耳朵从你的手机边抽离，现在正狠狠瞪着你，示意你点头答应。

CommanderHiss! What are you doing?! Move your foot!嘶——你干什么！快把脚挪开！

KalinaHuh?哈啊？

Production AssistantSay yes! Let Franchouchou and Late Night Café perform together!你快答应！让法兰秀秀去跟夜间咖啡馆共演！

Production AssistantNo! Tell her you accept!不！你答应了！

CommanderHiss... Argh... Yes, let's do it!嘶——啊——我答应！

KalinaOh, I thought you were going to say no.哦，还以为你会拒绝呢。

CommanderHiss... Let go already!嘶——快松开！

Production AssistantThat's better.这就对了嘛。

The production assistant lifts his foot with a satisfied nod and disappears among the crowd.场记小哥挪开了脚，满意地消失在了人群中。

KalinaThank you for your trust. I will make the necessary arrangements!感谢你的信任，我会安排妥当的！

CommanderIt is a clever solution. Franchouchou's fans and the Coffee Lovers are on the verge of an all-out brawl. If you can perform together amicably with Late Night Café, it will surely ease the tension.是个好办法，现在台下法兰秀秀的粉丝已经快和咖啡粉打起来了。 如果你们能友好演出，一定能缓解现场的氛围。

Sakura MinamotoOkay! Miss Kalina wants to talk to you herself!嗯！格琳娜小姐说她来跟你讲！

CommanderSure.好。

KalinaHey, it's me.喂，是我。

CommanderSakura told me about your idea of a joint performance. Arrange it as you see fit.共演的事我已经知道了，按你的安排来吧。

KalinaYou trust me just like that? What if I take advantage of this opportunity and sabotage Franchouchou's performance?就这么相信我吗？不怕我趁机使坏，把法兰秀秀的演出搞砸？

CommanderYou'll never shoot yourself in the foot like that.这种损人不利己的事你不会做的。

KalinaHeh, you're pretty smart.算你聪明咯。

CommanderKalina, this is by far the most important show in Franchouchou's career. I'm entrusting the half-time performance to you.格琳娜，这是法兰秀秀目前为止最重要的一场演出，中场秀的环节就交给你了。

The music starts playing, and the members of Late Night Café get into formation in unison.音乐响起，夜间咖啡馆默契地排开队形开始了演出。

Compared to the relatively inexperienced Franchouchou, Late Night Café's onstage presence is more stable and mature, and their interaction with the audience is also more fluid.相比还有几分青涩的法兰秀秀，夜间咖啡馆的台风更加稳定成熟，和观众们的互动也更加流畅。

As their formation shifts, only a single spotlight illuminates the member who is singing.随着队形的变化，舞台的灯光也变成了一束追光，落在正在演唱的成员身上。

HMG21Hello, we are Late Night Café!大家好，我们是夜间咖啡馆！

Sakura MinamotoAnd we are Franchouchou!我们是法兰秀秀！

Facing the dazzling lights, the two groups merge seamlessly into a single formation. They have never rehearsed together, they have never even spoken a word to one another, but they've pulled off this joint performance for no other reason than a spirit of generosity and respect for the stage.迎着耀眼的灯光，两个小队的少女们和睦地合为一个队形。 没有经过一次排练，甚至没有提前打过招呼，但双方都凭借着一颗包容的心和对舞台的敬仰完成了合作。

Sakura MinamotoI know my countdown starts right now. ♪ No more cries, living in fear or lies. ♪♪I know my countdown starts right now ♪No more cries living in fear or lies

HMG21 and Sakura walk up to the very edge of the stage. The lights illuminate each individual strand of their hair. Even their smiles are radiant.HK21和源樱走向舞台的前方。 灯光将两人的每一根发丝都照透照亮，连带脸上的笑容也一并闪耀起来。

They reach out to the audience, as if to invite them along on this musical journey, and also to share their dazzling joy with everyone.她们将手伸向观众，像是一份邀请，又像是将此刻闪闪发光的心情分享给大家。

You suddenly realize that you are singing along. It immediately occurs to you that you know this song. Because...你突然听见跟唱的声音从你的喉咙里传出。 瞬间，你意识到，你会唱这首歌。 因为它——

CommanderWhat is going on...?怎么回事……

Your mind is blank. You feel like you have had a very long dream, but you cannot recall anything about it.你的大脑一片空白，看来是做了一个漫长的梦，但有关梦的一切你都想不起来。

Tap. You feel a hand tap you on the shoulder through your high-end suit.啪——一只手按在了你穿着高级西装的肩膀上。

Production AssistantThere you are. The press will want to interview you later. Would you like to rehearse some answers?总算找到你了，一会有一些媒体想要采访你，你要不要提前演练下？

You immediately sit up straight. You tidy your hair with your right hand, nonchalantly flashing the five gemstone rings on your fingers.你即刻正襟危坐起来，看似不经意地用戴着五枚宝石戒指的右手整理了下头发。

Production AssistantI'm going to ask you a few questions that the press often asks; try your best to answer them. First of all, what do you think it is that has helped Franchouchou come this far? You can say—我会模拟几个媒体常问的问题，你试着回答下。 第一个，你认为法兰秀秀是靠着什么走到了今天？你可以回答——

The production assistant buries his face in his hands. He must be feeling very ashamed of his own ignorance.场记小哥将脸埋入手掌中，你认为他一定在为自己的浅薄无知感到愧疚。

Production AssistantOkay, I'm just going to postpone the press interviews. We'll let Franchouchou answer the questions themselves; it would feel more sincere that way.这样吧，我看采访环节还是推后一下好了。 让法兰秀秀自己回答会显得更加真诚。

CommanderHm... You have a point.嗯……你说的有道理。

CommanderIt's a shame though. I dressed up especially for this.就是可惜我为今天准备的一身行头了。

Production Assistant... I'm sure your outfit will come in useful on other occasions.…… 一定能在其他地方用上的。

CommanderShow some appreciation, will you?! Franchouchou has been working so hard, but you still criticize them?!你们懂不懂欣赏啊！法兰秀秀都这么努力了，你们还要指责她们？！

CommanderJust shut your damn mouth and watch the show!都把嘴闭上！给我好好看演出！

Member of Audience 1What a loon!这个人疯了吗？！

Member of Audience 2You think money can settle everything?!你以为有钱就可以摆平一切吗！

A commotion immediately breaks out in the auditorium. Some people in the audience are shouting angrily at you, while others are busy picking up cash from the floor. You remain unfazed by their aggression and try to throw even more banknotes. You do not see how concerned the Franchouchou girls are for your safety.观众席顷刻间混乱动荡起来，部分观众赶来愤怒指责你，也有部分观众忙着抢钱。 面对观众的推搡和责骂，你无动无衷，甚至还想再掏出一些现金。 你没有看见，舞台上的法兰秀秀非常担心你。

As Tae recalls working her part-time shifts together with you these last few days, she goes berserk and starts tearing at the backdrop.回想着这些天每日与你一起打工的经历，山田多惠控制不住身体般抓起了背景板。

Tae YamadaHaaaargh...!!!咦……啊啊啊！！！

With a loud cry, Tae rips out the lower part of the backdrop through sheer force.随着山田多惠的一声大喝，背景板的下部分被生生掰碎了下来——

???AAAAAAAAH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——

A heart-rending scream draws the attention of everyone present. Late Night Café's temporary dressing room happens to be right behind the backdrop. As it collapses, exposing Late Night Café to thousands of people in the audience all of a sudden, JS05 and PM-06, who are in the middle of getting dressed, let out a terrified shriek.撕心裂肺的尖叫瞬间吸引了在场所有人的目光。 轰然倒塌的背景板后，原本是为夜间咖啡馆提供的临时准备室。 随着遮掩墙壁的倒塌和突然多出的成千上万名观众，正在进行更衣准备的JS05和PM06发出了惨叫。

AudienceIt's JS05 and PM-06!是JS05和PM06！！！

AudienceCharge! Defend our beloved Late Night Café!上啊！守护最好的夜间咖啡馆！

The impact feels like you've been hit by several massive boulders all at once. Your vision goes dark...你只感觉这股冲劲犹如数块巨大的落石结结实实地砸在了你的身上，直砸得你眼前发黑——

The darkness is endless. You stand frozen in the void for a while before you realize something doesn't seem quite right.没有尽头的黑暗。 你呆呆地在黑暗中站立了好一会，才意识到哪里不对劲。

KalinaYOU FINALLY GET IT!你终于开窍了！

Your mind is blank. You feel like you have had a very long dream, but you cannot recall anything about it.你的大脑一片空白，看来是做了一个漫长的梦，但有关梦的一切你都想不起来。

KalinaThen here's the fiscal policy for reducing our expenditures for Q3 and Q4. Take a look...那有关格里芬基地下半年的支出缩减政策，你看……

CommanderI'm getting a headache just hearing about this.我光是听这几个字就头疼。

Kalina...So you haven't achieved enlightenment after all. Well, catch some rest then.……原来开窍是错觉啊。 那你先好好休息吧。

Kalina leaves your bedroom dejectedly. You notice the television screen is still stuck on a game selection menu.格琳娜失落地离开了你的卧室。 你注意到，电视屏幕上还停留在游戏选择画面。

"Please select your preference from the following options."“请从以下几个元素中选择您喜欢的选项。”

CommanderWhat is this all about...?都是些什么……

You're suddenly overcome by a terrible headache. You get up to look for some painkillers, so you do not notice... The cursor has taken the liberty to pick out an option for you.你被袭来的头痛吸引了注意力，于是起身寻找药物，你没有注意到—— 你的鼠标已经擅自为你做出了决定。

Saki NikaidoOkay!好！

The performance is only two hours away, but you are forced to return to the mansion riding behind Saki on her motorbike because you've forgotten to bring some important IDs.距离演出开场只剩两小时，你却因为忘记携带重要证件而被迫坐在二阶堂咲的后座返回洋房。

You have absolutely no memory of where you've left the IDs, so you are searching through every possible place in the living room frantically. Your anxiety level increases with every minute.你完全不记得上一次把证件放在了哪里，只能在大厅中所有可能的地方疯狂翻找。 时间一分一秒地过去，你焦虑的情绪也在猛涨。

CommanderC'mon, IDs! We're gonna be late if you don't show yourselves soon!快出来啊，我们的证件！再不出来，我们要迟到了！

Saki NikaidoWhat's the rush? Don't worry, I'll make sure we get back in time!急什么！有我在呢，放心吧，肯定不会让我们迟到的！

Ten minutes later. You look at the map in your hands, then at the street in front of you.十分钟后。 你看着手中的地图，又看了看面前的街道。

CommanderSaki, I don't think we're on the right path...咲，我感觉这条路不对啊……

Saki NikaidoStop fussing! I'm just taking a shortcut! We'll get to the venue with time to spare!别磨叽，我这是选了条小路！ 这样我们就能早点到演出地了！

CommanderOkay...哦……

You put down the map dutifully and decide to trust Saki.你乖乖放下了地图，选择了相信。

A while later. You are shaken awake when the motorbike comes to an abrupt halt.一段时间后。 昏昏欲睡的你被一脚刹车摇醒。

CommanderWhat happened? Are we there yet?怎么了？我们到了？

CommanderSaki?咲？

Saki NikaidoI think... I might be lost...我好像……迷路了……

CommanderHuhhh? Didn't you say you knew this shortcut?!哈啊？你不是说这是你认识的小路吗！

Saki NikaidoWhy are you yelling at me?! The shortcut somehow led me here!你吼什么！这小路走着走着就变样了啊！

The landscape is unfamiliar. The streets are unfamiliar. You flip through the map in a futile attempt to find out where you are.陌生的风景，陌生的街道，你徒劳地翻看着地图，企图找出你们的所在地。

Ring-ring-ring... Your cell phone rings.叮铃铃——你的手机响起。

CommanderHello?喂？

Production AssistantWhat the hell are you up to?! The show is set to begin in an hour! As the producer and manager, how come you still haven't submitted your papers?!你在干什么？！还有一个小时就要开始了！ 你身为制作人兼经纪人，怎么还不来提交证件？！

CommanderI've found them, and I'm on my way...我找到证件了，正在赶来的路上……

Production AssistantHow far away are you?还有多远？

CommanderUh...呃……

You look around the deserted neighborhood helplessly, trying to find something that can clue you in on your current location.你无助地环视着荒凉的街区，想要找出能说明当前坐标的蛛丝马迹。

Production Assistant...You're not lost, are you?你不会迷路了吧？

Production AssistantYou... got lost... in Saga?!你，在佐贺，迷路了？！

CommanderI'm not from around these parts! So what if I got lost?!我是外地人！迷路怎么了？！

Production AssistantDidn't you bring No. 2 with you?你不是带了2号一起回去吗？

You glance at Saki, who is crouching by the road. She looks away glumly.你看向了蹲在路边的二阶堂咲，她恶狠狠地别开了视线。

Production Assistant... Alright, tell me what obvious signposts you can see around you. I'll come and get you.…… 这样吧，你告诉我你附近有什么明显的路标，我来找你。

CommanderOkay, I'm seeing...好，这附近有——

You scan the sparse buildings around you carefully.你认真地寻觅了一圈身边稀疏的建筑。

CommanderA few tall trees with yellowing leaves, and a small river flows right by me. There's a convenience store across the street from me.几棵树叶开始发黄的大树，还有一条小河从我边上过去，我对面有一个便利店。

Production Assistant... You got any idea how many places in Saga match this description?…… 你知道佐贺有多少地方符合这样的描述吗？

CommanderUh... Not really...呃……不知道……

Production AssistantJust stay where you are and wait for me!你给我等着！

He hangs up angrily.电话被怒气冲冲地挂断了。

Saki NikaidoHey, what are we gonna do?喂，我们该怎么办？

CommanderWait for the production assistant to come and get us?等场记小哥来找到我们？

Saki NikaidoHow long will that take...?那得等到什么时候……

Rumble... The revving engines of several motorbikes interrupt your conversation. A dozen young people dressed like biking gangsters appear in these remote suburbs. They pull over to the side of the road while having a heated argument. You and Saki look at them reflexively.嗡嗡——几辆机车的轰鸣打断了你们的对话。 荒僻的郊外，多出了十几名暴走族打扮的年轻人，他们将车停靠在路边，激烈交流着什么。 你和二阶堂咲下意识地望去——

Saki NikaidoI'll see what their deal is.我去问问。

Saki gets to her feet with the intention to mediate this argument. Remembering what happened before, you pull her back immediately.二阶堂咲站了起来，明显准备过去调停这场矛盾，回想起过去种种，你立刻拉住了她。

CommanderNo, get on the bike! We'll hang around somewhere else.不行，快上车！我们换个地方呆着。

Saki NikaidoWhy?怎么了？

CommanderJust get moving! Stop asking questions!走就是了，你别多问！

You jump onto the backseat behind Saki and the two of you drive away.你匆匆跳上二阶堂咲的后座，跟随她一起离开了原地。

...Some time later.……一段时间后。

You're crouching on the side of the road with your phone pressed against your ear.你蹲在路边，将电话贴近耳边。

Production Assistant...So you're telling me... While I'm out looking for you, you've moved somewhere else?……也就是说，你们在我找路的时候，又变换了坐标？

CommanderYeah...嗯……

Production AssistantI don't even know what to say. No. 1, I'll let you talk to your Commander.你们真厉害啊！ 1号，你来跟你们指挥官讲吧！

Sakura MinamotoCommander, it's me! Are there any eye-catching landmarks around you? We've got to return to the venue soon!指挥官，是我！ 你们身边有什么明显的地标吗？我们得立刻回到演出场地了！

Saki NikaidoI think we're not far from the Forest Park...这里好像是森林公园的附近……

CommanderWe're by a lake. There's a sign that says "No Fishing".我们边上有一片湖，湖边立着块“禁止垂钓”的牌子。

Sakura MinamotoA lake with a "No Fishing" sign near the Forest Park... I understand. We'll find you as soon as we can!森林公园的附近，立着“禁止垂钓”牌子的湖边…… 我明白了，我们会尽快找到你们的！

Sakura hangs up.源樱挂断了电话。

You sit down next to Saki and join her in spacing out.你坐在二阶堂咲的身边，默契地和她发起了呆。

Saki Nikaido...It was my fault.……是我不好。

CommanderHuh?啊？

Saki NikaidoI shouldn't have tried to be clever and taken any shortcuts!我不该耍小聪明，抄什么小路的！

CommanderDon't say that. You just wanted to get us back to the venue quickly. Besides, it's all thanks to you that we found the IDs in time.别这么说，你也是为了尽快赶回演出地。 而且，多亏了你，才能及时找到证件啊。

Saki NikaidoHeheh, you're right!嘿嘿，也对！

The grim mood lets up a little. You take out the pouch in which the IDs are stored as you chatter with Saki.僵硬的气氛松弛了几分，你和二阶堂咲谈笑着，拿出了收纳证件的小包。

Vwoop... You unzip the pouch... to find it completely empty.滋啦——你拉开拉链，发现里面是空的。

The tension that has just eased up returns instantly.刚缓和下来的氛围又一次紧绷起来。

Saki turns her head stiffly to stare at you. She opens her quivering lips, as if to say something...二阶堂咲僵硬地扭过头看向你，她的嘴唇颤抖着张开，似乎打算说些什么——

Squeeeak! A sharp braking sound rings out next to you.嗡——一记利落的刹车声在你们身边响起。

Sakura MinamotoCommander! Saki! We got you, finally!指挥官！咲！终于找到你们了！

Sakura jumps out of the car cheerfully and runs toward you.源樱快乐地跳下车奔向你们。

Ai MizunoGosh, I wasn't expecting so much drama over some IDs.真是的，没想到为了几张证件要经历这样的波折。

Junko KonnoAnyway, good thing we've got them back. Now let's get going.总之能找到就好，我们快出发吧。

Production AssistantWhat are you two still waiting for?! Get in the car! The show begins in just 15 minutes!你们俩还愣着干什么！上车啊！ 还有十五分钟演出就要开始了！

Honk, honk! The production assistant honks his car horn impatiently.叭叭——场记小哥暴躁地按着车喇叭。

YugiriWhat's the matter? Why do you look so deathly pale?怎么了，你们俩的脸色好难看啊？

Lily HoshikawaDo you have an upset stomach?是不是吃坏肚子了？

Sakura MinamotoCommander?指挥官？

You raise the pouch painfully and show everyone its empty contents.你痛苦地将手中的收纳包举起，将和你的心一样空空荡荡的内里展示给大家。

Junko KonnoWhat is the meaning of this?这是什么意思？

Ai MizunoIf I remember correctly, this is the pouch in which the Commander stores our IDs...没记错的话，这是指挥官用来收纳证件的包……

Sakura MinamotoHuh?!诶？！

Production AssistantWHAAAAAT?!!!啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

The production assistant's wretched howl echoes through the quiet lakeside...寂静的湖边回荡着场记小哥的惨嚎声……

In the end, you are delayed so much all the audience has left by the time you finally arrive at the venue. The organizers have angrily blacklisted Franchouchou. You have no choice but to leave the venue and return to the mansion.最终，因为迟到时间太久，等你们抵达演出场地时，观众已经尽数离开。 演出举办方愤怒地将法兰秀秀拉入黑名单。 你们只能离开演出地，回到洋房。

Franchouchou put on the show in the living room of the mansion. As their only audience, you watch their performance for which they have put in a lot of effort to prepare on the sofa. You've got to admit that the quality of their performance has room for improvement, but their sincerity and earnestness certainly shine through. They keep up their dazzling smiles on the stage as you dissolve into a sobbing mess. If only... you had... You can't stop beating yourself up for what happened.法兰秀秀在洋房大厅中完成了本该在舞台上进行的演出。 你作为唯一的观众，坐在大厅沙发上观看完了她们精心准备的节目。 不得不承认，演出的质量有待提高，但法兰秀秀的真诚无疑是闪闪发光的。 她们在台上竭尽全力地保持闪耀的笑容，你独自在台下泣不成声。 如果……当初…… 你忍不住在心里这样想着。

... Then like a sudden power outage, everything goes dark around you.…… 像是突然断电一样，你的眼前只剩下黑暗。

CommanderA power cut?停电了吗？

Nobody answers you.没有人回应你。

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

CommanderWhat's going on?怎么回事？

???The wheel of fate has started to turn again. You may have a chance to put things right.命运的轮盘重新开始转动了。 你或许有机会阻止让你后悔的事情发生。

CommanderWhat do you mean?什么意思？

???It has been set in motion since long ago. It will not stop now.一切早已开始，此刻也不曾停下。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea... Somehow you have a feeling... you are about to be given a second chance.船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音…… 冥冥之中，你感知到，你将迎来一次全新的机会。

Inspiration! Springing Forth! 灵感！泉涌！

It is like a miracle. A miracle that is destined to go down Saga's history...那仿佛是个奇迹。 注定被佐贺铭记的奇迹——

Franchouchou's concert.法兰秀秀的演唱会。

AudienceAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

Shimmery ribbons and confetti erupt mid-air and flutter down amid the audience's delight gasps. The Franchouchou girls hold their heads up high as they strike their final pose, the dazzling ribbons and confetti reflected in their eyes.闪亮的丝带和彩片于空中爆裂开，缓缓从人们的惊叹声中飘落。 定格在最后一瞬的法兰秀秀抬起了头，她们的眼中也飘落着漫天璀璨的丝带彩片。

Sakura MinamotoThank you, we are—谢谢大家，我们是——

Saki NikaidoFRAN! CHOU! CHOU!!!法！兰！秀！秀！！！

AudienceFRANCHOUCHOUUUUU!!!法兰秀秀——！！！

AudienceENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!安可！安可！安可！

The music has long since stopped, but the audience is still utterly immersed in it. You look over the countless heads still swaying with excitement at Sakura... Who is gazing right back at you.音乐早已停下，但观众们还沉浸在其中，无法自拔。 越过无数个仍在兴奋摇摆的头颅，你望向源樱—— 源樱似乎也正看向你。

With tears glistening in her eyes, she gives you a nod before raising her microphone once more.她的眼中还噙着闪闪发亮的泪光，迎着你的视线，她点了点头，再度高举起手中的话筒。

Sakura MinamotoFor the last song of the night, let us all...今晚的最后一首歌，让我们一起——

Saki NikaidoTake to the skies!!!飞向空中！！！

Snap. The lights in the venue all suddenly go out, plunging the dazzling world into darkness.啪——全场的灯光骤灭，方才还闪耀的世界只剩下黑暗萦绕。

AudienceWhat happened?! Where's Franchouchou?!怎么回事？！法兰秀秀呢！

The audience around you stirs uneasily while you alone chuckle softly in the dark.身边的观众骚动起来，只有你在黑暗中轻轻笑了。

There is a faint tremor coming from the floor as something seems to lift off in the dark.地板传来了隐约的震动，像是有什么东西在黑暗中展翅飞走了。

AudienceWhere's security? Why is the power still out?!安保呢？怎么还不来电！

Whoosh! The light from the big screen pierces through the darkness. And on the big screen is—唰——大屏幕的光芒划破了黑暗。 而出现在大屏幕上的是——

Franchouchou riding in an airborne hot-air balloon!正乘着热气球跃上天空的法兰秀秀！

AudienceWhoaaa! They're in the balloon!哇啊啊啊——她们在热气球上！

Sakura MinamotoHello! We are going to perform this last song for you from up here!大家好！我们将在热气球上为大家完成最后一首曲目！

Saki NikaidoMake sure you keep your eyes peeled!大家可要睁大眼睛好好看清楚啊——

Ai MizunoIf you can see us, please wave your glow sticks!下面的观众，如果看得见我们的话，请舞动起手中的荧光棒！

Franchouchou's figures are clearly displayed on the screen, but everyone in the audience looks up and follows the colorful hot-air balloon hovering in the air.法兰秀秀的身影清晰地映现在屏幕，但在场的观众们颇有默契地抬起了头，追寻那抹悬在空中的彩色热气球。

AudienceWow, they're up there!哇，她们在那里！

CommanderYes, they're in the air...是啊，她们正在天上……

You also look up at those faraway girls like you would at stars in the night sky.你也抬起头，犹如在夜空中搜寻星星般，寻找起那遥不可及的身影。

CommanderHeheh...嘿嘿……

You can't help but laugh out loud. Only then do you realize you are not actually looking at Franchouchou up in the night sky, but the familiar steamy ceiling of the bathhouse.你控制不住地笑出了声，然后才发现眼前的根本不是夜空中的法兰秀秀，而是熟悉的氤氲着雾气的浴场天花板。

Commander...Franchouchou?……法兰秀秀？

Bathhouse AttendantYou're finally awake.终于醒了。

CommanderHuh?啊？

Bathhouse AttendantYou should set off soon. Franchouchou is already waiting for you at the performance venue.你该出发了，法兰秀秀已经在演出地等你了。

CommanderOh... so the show hasn't actually begun...哦……原来演出还没开始啊……

You drag your limp and lethargic body over to the edge of the hot bath and make your way to the lockers laboriously.你拖着泡得柔若无骨的身躯挪到了温泉池边，然后一步一步艰难地走到储物柜。

You dry your hands carefully and open the door to your locker, which contains all the songs you have written in the last few days in a sudden burst of inspiration. Every one of them has the potential to be a massive hit.你小心地擦干手，打开了柜门，里面是你这些天灵感迸发写下的歌。 每一首都有爆红的潜力。

CommanderI wrote these songs specially for Franchouchou. If they sing them during the concert, it will surely propel them to stardom! And take their career to new heights!这些歌都是我为法兰秀秀定制的，只要让她们在演唱会上唱出这些歌曲，一定能就此走红！ 来到事业的巅峰！

You believe that with great certainty.你是如此坚定不移地想着。

Until you see for yourself what Franchouchou is doing with the songs you wrote.直到你亲耳听见你谱写的歌曲是如何被法兰秀秀演绎出来。

You have always prided yourself on being a strong-willed person who doesn't give up easily. But on this night, you break down. You feel so thoroughly defeated, you've lost the will to carry on. You have been driven to utter despair, but Franchouchou is still pressing on with their performance on stage.你一向自诩是个意志坚强、不轻易认输的人。 但在这一夜，你崩溃了，感觉自己一败涂地，甚至输得丧失了生存意志。 你万念俱灰，而舞台上的法兰秀秀仍在坚持演出。

CommanderI'm not in Saga, I'm in hell...我不在佐贺，我在地狱……

Audience Covering Their EarsI beg you! Stop singing! Not a single note has been in tune since the show began!求求你们了！别再唱了！ 从开始到现在，没一句在调上！

Audience Covering Their EyesThey're completely out of sync when dancing to all the songs! They're never on the beat, and they don't even remember the moves!几首歌舞，没一首整齐的就算了，连拍子都踩不对，还忘动作！

Angry people in the audience are starting to make a scene.部分情绪失控的观众开始在观众席中闹事。

AudienceREFUND! REFUND! REFUND!退钱！退钱！退钱！

Saki NikaidoStop it! What are you doing?!住手！你们在干什么？！

Sakura MinamotoUh... Please stop!呜……请别再闹了！

YugiriLet's stop the show for now...我们还是先中止演出吧……

The curtain lowers slowly, and Franchouchou's pale faces disappear out of sight.舞台的帷幕缓缓降下，法兰秀秀苍白的脸渐渐看不见了。

You pull out the music sheets from your satchel with trembling hands. Every song is a painstaking creation and you've pinned all your hopes and dreams on them. But now, they are nothing but waste paper... How did it come to this? Did you have too much blind faith in your own talent and inspiration that you overlooked Franchouchou's training? Or... was this destined to happen?你颤抖着从包中掏出你这些天的心血，每一首歌都寄托着你的厚望。 但如今它们全部化为了废纸…… 究竟是怎么走到今天这一步的？是因为你太过盲信自己的天赋和灵感，忽视了对法兰秀秀的训练吗？ 还是……一切都是命运早已安排好的结局？

CommanderFranchouchou...法兰秀秀……

Amid the angry uproar, you mumble nonsensically as everything goes dark around you...在身边愤怒观众的狂吼乱叫中，你呢喃着几个音节，眼前渐渐地黑暗了下去……

Splash... The waves strike the hull of the boat rhythmically. The salty sea air is laced with a barely noticeable tinge of floral fragrance.哗啦啦—— 浪花拍打在船底的声音，海边特有的咸味空气中飘来一丝若有似无的花香。

CommanderWhere am I...?我在哪里……

You mutter to yourself in the darkness.你在昏沉的黑暗中自言自语着。

???The wheel of fate has started to turn again. You may have a chance to put things right.命运的轮盘重新开始转动了。 你或许有机会阻止让你后悔的事情发生。

CommanderWhat do you mean?什么意思？

???It has been set in motion since long ago. It will not stop now.一切早已开始，此刻也不曾停下。

The boat suddenly surges forward at high speed. You can hear the sound of its bow cutting through the surface of the sea... Somehow you have a feeling... you are about to be given a second chance.船只高速飞驰起来，耳边能听见海面被划破的声音…… 冥冥之中，你感知到，你将迎来一次全新的机会。

57-Y3-2 源樱 · 57-Y3-2

You return to the mansion after a busy day. Although you've only been living here for a few days, this place is now the closest thing you have to a "home" in this strange world.忙碌了一天之后，你回到了洋房。 虽然只是小住了几天，但这里已经是这个陌生世界中最接近于“家”的存在。

After unburdening yourself of your fatigue, you decide to go take a nice long bath to relax. You head over to the shower room and are about to open the door.你卸下一身的疲倦，打算去泡个温暖的澡，舒缓一下身体…… 你走到洗漱间，正准备拉开门。

Suddenly, the door opens by itself—突然，门自动开了——

Sakura MinamotoAhhhhhhh! Commander—啊啊啊指挥官官官官官——

Sakura MinamotoNo-no-no-no, it's nothing worth looking at—不不不不你什么也没看到到——

Commander?？

The door closes again with a "bang" and a dark silhouette runs away before your eyes... Wait, was that Sakura? Why did she react that way upon seeing you? Did something happen to Franchouchou? Or is it an accident that you don't know about... No, you HAVE to go and see what's going on!“砰”的一声，门又被合上。一道黑影迅速消失在眼前…… 等等，那是源樱吧？ 见到自己怎么会是这种反应？难道法兰秀秀出了什么意外？还是自己不知道的那种…… 不行，一定得跟过去看看！

CommanderHey... Sakura! Sakura! Sakura—喂……源樱！ 源樱！源樱——

Shouting doesn't seem to help.大声的呼喊似乎一点效果都没有。

The corridor is pitch black and the only sounds come from your own breathing and your footsteps.行走的地方全是黑漆漆的一片，周围安静得只能听见自己的呼吸声和脚步声。

CommanderAlthough Kalin's always been a bit of a penny pincher, surely even she wouldn't be so miserly as to not pay the electric bill... Eh?格琳虽然有时候在金钱上计较了一点，但也不至于连电费都如此抠门…… 诶？

There's a weird sensation on your leg, like you've kicked something hard. Perhaps you could try kicking it again?脚上的感觉怪怪的，好像踢到了什么坚硬的东西。再踢一下试试？

？？Ugh—唔——

You crouch down in the darkness and feel something fluffy yet hard on the ground. You have a rough idea of what it is and slowly begin to speak—你摸黑蹲了下来，摸到地上那个毛茸茸的，坚硬的圆形物品。 隐约猜到是什么，你缓缓地开口——

CommanderSakura... I know you're a zombie, but I'm still a human being... Could you not keep dropping your head onto the ground? It's scary whether or not the lights are on...源樱啊……虽然我已经知道你们是僵尸，但毕竟我还是个人类…… 能不能不要动不动一颗脑袋断在地上，开灯或者不开灯，我都挺害怕的……

Sakura MinamotoI'm not Sakura...我不是源樱……

Commander...Then I'd better go turn on the lights to see who you are.……那我去开灯看看。

Sakura MinamotoStop-stop-stop! Wait, wait for me to find my body! In any case, just leave me alone for now!停停停！等我，等我身体找过来！ 总之，总之你别管我！

CommanderNope. I'm going to keep holding your head like this until you explain things clearly.不行，你今天不把话说清楚，我就抱着你的头一起走。

Sakura MinamotoThen... Then let's keep a distance as we talk!那……我们，我们保持一定距离讲话！

CommanderWhy is that?为什么？

Sakura Minamoto... It... It's for your own good!…… 我……我是为了你好！

CommanderHm?嗯？

Sakura's body feels its way toward me and takes the head from your hands.源樱的身体缓缓地摸索过来，从你的手里接过了头。

You turn on the lights while you're at it.顺便打开了灯。

Sakura Minamoto(Coughs heavily) Don't... Don't you think you've been really unlucky these last couple of days?咳咳咳……你，你不觉得最近这一两天总是很倒霉吗？

Commander...Frankly speaking, I'd say I've been pretty unlucky since the moment I saw you guys.……真要说的话，从我见到你们那一天开始，就挺倒霉的。

Sakura MinamotoWhich is why I can't keep ruining your luck!所以，不能再倒霉下去了！

Sakura smiles bitterly.源樱苦笑了一下。

Sakura MinamotoYou... You must want to go back to your world very much, right?你……你很想回到原来的世界吧。

CommanderOf course.当然。

Sakura MinamotoSo we can't mess up this show.所以，这是不能失败的演出啊。

CommanderYeah, I know. I'll do my best.嗯，我知道，所以我会努力。

Sakura MinamotoNo! You don't understand! If-if you keeep hanging around with me, you might regret the outcome.不！你不知道！ 如果，如果总是跟我待在一块儿，可能结果会让你难过。

CommanderWhy do you say that?为什么这么说？

Sakura MinamotoI... I've always been really unlucky. The harder I try, the worse the result. I don't know if that's going to affect you. I... I know this is very important to you, so I don't want to spoil it. So please. please stay away from me.我……我总是很倒霉。 越努力，反而结果越糟糕。 不知道这种情况，会不会影响你。 我……我不想破坏这件对你来说非常重要的事情。 所以，请，请离我远一点。

Commander...What about you and the others?……那你跟其他人呢？

Sakura Minamoto...Well, everyone's used to all the problems I cause. And they... They've all died before, so I guess they're familiar with that sort of thing. But you're different. I don't want you to get infected by my bad luck.……因为我总是出状况，大家已经见怪不怪了。 而且她们……都死过了啊，可能也许大概习惯了。 但你不一样，你不要被我传染霉运就好。

Commander...I've never been the betting sort, though.……可我从来不是一个赌运气的人啊。

Sakura MinamotoHm?诶？

CommanderBecause I'm like you too, Sakura. I'm a very unlucky person. Or rather, anyone who's born during my time must be pretty unlucky.因为我跟樱一样，也是很倒霉的人呢。 或者这么说，出生在乱世的人类，都很倒霉。

CommanderSo I don't believe in luck. If I really was a lucky person, I wouldn't have a life like this.所以我从不相信运气这种东西。 如果我的运气很好，我就不会经历这样的人生。

Sakura MinamotoCommander... I...指挥官……我……

CommanderStill, I'm not the sort who gives up easily. That's because I know that if luck is zero percent of anything you do, then you have no choice but to put 100% of yourself into your endeavors. It's just like you, Sakura. No matter how other people treat you, or how seriously others treat the performance... You're always practicing. You'll always be the one who practices the hardest.但我从不轻言放弃。 因为我知道，如果运气为零的话，只能去依靠百分之百的努力。 就像樱一样，不管别人对我什么态度，不管别人对演出什么态度。 你永远在训练……永远是最努力的那一个。

Sakura MinamotoAh... So you noticed?啊……被你看到了吗？

CommanderYup. I've been paying attention to you from the beginning.嗯，从一开始，我就一直注意着你。

Sakura MinamotoAnd I... I've also been paying attention to you. I've been hoping that you could go back to your original world.我……我也一直注意着你，希望你可以回到原来的世界。

CommanderI'd like Franchouchou to put on a successful show too. But I forbid you to say you're keeping your distance from me or whatever. After all, we're both really unlucky and I might end up spreading my unluckiness to you.我也希望法兰秀秀能获得成功的演出。 但你不准再说什么远离我的话，毕竟我们都很倒霉，也许，我的倒霉还会传染给你呢。
