The Disease Called Love 1 病名为爱1

Basti...Tell me how bad it is.……告诉我吧，到底有多严重。

???Bad doesn't even cut it.非常严重。

BastiIs there—is there any hope for me...我、我还有救吗……

???I'm sorry.对不起。

(Inside her dorm aboard the Elmo, Basti sinks into deathly silence.)（艾莫号的休息室里，贝丝蒂独自陷入死一般的沉寂。）

(She trembles uncontrollably, her lips curling with sorrow and despair.)（她止不住地颤抖，凄然和绝望在双唇之间愈演愈烈。）

BastiI knew it... This is my punishment...我就知道……这是我的报应……

BastiThis world will always reject someone like me.我这样的家伙，早就被世界厌恶了。

BastiI shouldn't have dared to imagine that I could stay by Darling's side, to live in bliss with him, that he would love me like he used to...我不该抱有妄想，什么陪在Darling身边，一起过二人世界，像从前一样爱我……

BastiIndeed, I don't deserve any happiness at all.嗯，我不配享受幸福。

BastiThis cold, damp room shall be my coffin.这个阴冷、潮湿的房间就是我的棺椁。

BastiHere, death shall welcome me with open arms...我要在这里独自迎接我的死……

???Wait a minute! It's not THAT bad!等一下！倒也没有那么严重啦！

???It's only a computer virus!你只是中了电子病毒而已！

???Even if it can't be fixed right now, it won't do any permanent damage to your neural cloud!就算暂时没办法修好，但也不会对你的心智造成不可逆的破坏。

???Just give me a little more time and I'll...只要多给我一些时间，一定能……

BastiI don't HAVE time, Zoe!我没有时间了啊，佐伊！

BastiI only have today! Today is the day of reckoning!我只有今天！今天就是决胜负的日子！

ZoeEh?欸？

BastiYou don't understand how long I've waited for this day!你根本不知道，我好不容易才等到这一天啊！

BastiAll those Dolls who keep hanging around Darling are out on missions! At long last, there's nobody on the Elmo to get in my way!为了执行任务，那些喜欢缠着Darling的人形全都出门了，车上终于没有了碍事的家伙。

BastiAccording to the plan, I should've had Darling all to myself, all night long...按照计划，我本可以独享Darling的夜晚……

BastiSo why! Why did my very own frame have to betray me like this?!为什么！为什么偏偏在这种时候，我自己却不争气了！

BastiI... I can't see him now, can I?我……我现在不能见他，对吗？

ZoeYup. The virus will affect your decision tree, and it'll make you act in ways beyond your control.嗯。电子病毒会影响你的决策树，让你做出一些不可控的行为。

ZoeIn other words, you might end up hurting the Commander.也就是说，你有可能会伤害到指挥官。

BastiThat won't happen! I won't let it happen!不行，绝对不行！

BastiNo matter how much I crave Darling's tender embrace, I won't allow myself to hurt him, not one bit!就算我再怎么贪恋Darling的温柔，但伤害到他的一丁点可能性都是绝不允许的！

ZoeMiss Basti...贝丝蒂姐姐……

BastiTonight, our hearts cannot meet. These walls will be my prison.今晚我不能见他，我不能离开这个房间。

BastiThis pain... is but a test set by the heavens themselves to prove my love for him!这份痛苦……是对我爱意的考验！

CommanderBasti, weren't we going to watch a movie?贝丝蒂，我们说好了一起看电影对吧？

CommanderWhen are you coming down to the Rec Room?你什么时候来娱乐室？

BastiI... I...我……我……

BastiLet's not watch it today, Darling.Darling，今天先不看了吧。

(Hm? Hearing Basti refuse an invitation like this is most curious.)（嗯？从贝丝蒂口中听到拒绝的话是一件很新奇的事。）

(Normally, she'd be squealing in delight and bouncing off the walls before glomping me from some unexpected angle.)（按照惯例，她应该兴奋地尖叫着从不知道哪个角落冒出来飞扑到我怀里。）

(Have I grown too conceited, or might there be something wrong with her?)（是我太自信了，还是她真的有点异常？）

CommanderIs something the matter? Are you busy?怎么了？有别的事情要做吗？

BastiNo, I'm just... I just want to be alone right now.没有，我只是……只是在自己待着。

CommanderBut that's boring, isn't it? Come chat with me.那多无聊啊，过来和我聊聊天吧。

BastiNo!不行！

BastiI mean... it's not that I don't want to talk with you, Darling, but...不对……不是不想和Darling聊天，只不过……

CommanderIs something wrong?有心事？

BastiAhhhhhh, stop asking already, Darling! It's a girl's secret!啊啊啊不要再问了，Darling！这是女孩子的秘密！

(And with that, she hangs up.)（说着，她挂断了通讯。）

(This isn't right. This is far too out of character for her. Something must have happened.)（不对劲，太异常了，肯定发生了什么事情。）

(What's on Basti's mind? She really is a most inscrutable little kitten.)（贝丝蒂在想什么呢？她是一只让人捉摸不透的猫。）

(With those thoughts, I decide to check it out in person.)（所以，我决定亲自去看一下。）

(As I approach Basti's room, I have a rough idea of what to expect.)（走近贝丝蒂的房间时，我大概有了一个心理预期。）

(She's more delicate and perceptive than most people. Even the smallest thing could have triggered her emotions.)（她比绝大多数人更加细腻、敏感，一些微小的细节都能牵起她的情绪波动。）

(Perhaps she's being tormented by something I haven't noticed yet.)（也许是我没关注到的事情困扰着她。）

(Perhaps she's obsessing over it, agonizing over it, even crying over it, all by herself.)（也许她正在纠结、难过，甚至于一个人哭泣。）

(When I see her, I need to console her with kindness...)（等见到她的时候，我一定要用温柔去抚平她的……）

BastiDarling... ahhh, Darling...Darling……啊，Darling……

(Just as I'm about to knock on her door, the voice from inside makes me stop halfway.)（就在我准备叩响房门的时候，里面的声音让我停了下来。）

(She doesn't sound sad. Instead, she seems very... happy?)（听上去她并不难过，反而显得很……幸福？）

BastiI want to see you, Darling. I want to watch movies with you. I want to do so many things with you...想见到Darling，想一起看电影，一起做很多事情……

(Wait a minute. Didn't she turn me down earlier? Why is she talking about the exact opposite thing right now?)（咦？刚才不是拒绝了我吗，为什么现在说着截然相反的话。）

BastiI've been trying so hard to control my body so I can be with you, Darling.贝丝蒂在努力哦，为了和Darling在一起，努力驯服着自己的身体呢。

BastiI can do it. I'm very good at it. After all, that's how I managed to survive when I couldn't see you, Darling.我能做到，我很擅长。毕竟见不到Darling的时候，我就只能靠这种事活下去。

BastiI love you, Darling. I love you so much...好喜欢，好喜欢Darling……

(Basti's voice grows more hurried as she speaks, her words an aching blend of agony and ecstasy.)（贝丝蒂的说话声音愈发急促，痛苦与幸福混杂在一起。）

(A sense of guilt creeps into my mind. What I hear should not be heard; these ears must heed no further.)（我迟迟地感到一股负罪感。这些内容太私密了，我似乎不该继续听下去。）

BastiAnh, just a little harder...嗯，再用力一点吧……

BastiHah, haaaahhh—哈，哈——

(The air grows unbearably humid, syrup streaking across my skin. Hesitantly, I take one step back, and another in turn. Basti must not know I am here.)（空气好像都变得炙热粘稠。我开始后退，小心翼翼，生怕发出任何惊扰到贝丝蒂的动静。）

(Just as those... stimulating sounds begin to fade to naught, the enchanting air is cleaved in twain by a sudden cry.)（就在那些挠人的声音即将远去之际，旖旎的氛围突然被异样的情绪撕裂。）

BastiAaaahhh—!啊——！

(I'm certain that unlike the sounds from earlier, this is an actual scream.)（我很确信，这和刚才的任何声音都不同，这是一声尖叫。）

(It is followed by an almost imperceptible murmur—)（随之而来的，是细若蚊蚋的呢喃——）

BastiSave me...救……

BastiSave me, Darling...救我，Darling……

(This is no time to hesitate. I swiftly fling her door open.)（没有任何犹豫，我立刻将房门推开。）

CommanderBasti! Are you alright?!贝丝蒂，你没事吧！

(I see Basti on the bed, lying on her side. She is in a state of dishabille.)（我看到的是一个侧躺在床上，衣衫不整的贝丝蒂。）

BastiDarling?! What are you doing here?Darling？！你怎么来了！

CommanderI heard you calling me for help.我听到你在向我求救。

BastiI... I wasn't thinking when I said that. I didn't really expect you to come...我、我只是下意识地说出口，其实没有抱任何期待……

BastiBut here you are, standing before me. Is this a dream?你竟然真的出现了，我是在做梦吗？

CommanderSo, what's going on?所以，到底发生了什么？

(Basti doesn't look like she's going to get up. Her clothing is quite disorderly; I have no idea where to put my gaze.)（贝丝蒂看起来并没有起床的意思。她整个人显得很凌乱，让我不知道该把视线放在哪。）

Basti...Actually, I shouldn't be with you, Darling.……其实我不该见你，Darling。

BastiI've come down with a computer virus.我中了电子病毒。

CommanderAh?啊？

BastiI locked myself in my room because I was afraid of hurting you, Darling.我把自己一个人关在房间里，就是怕伤害到Darling。

BastiBut I can't accept that. At long last, there was a chance for us to be alone and do so many things together...但是我不甘心啊，难得的独处机会，我们本来可以做很多事情……

BastiSo I tried my best to take care of it by myself.所以我试着努力了一下。

BastiI was going to take my frame apart and try to fix it before the night was over.我想拆开自己的素体，趁夜晚结束前把它修好。

(It is then that I notice several incisions on Basti's skin.)（我这才注意到，贝丝蒂的体表被划开了几道缝隙。）

CommanderSo that was what you were doing when I heard you just now.原来刚才的声音，是在做这种事啊。

BastiEhhh?! Darling, what did you just hear?!欸？！Darling你听到什么了！

CommanderEr, I think there was something about "I was very good at it"...呃，就是，“很擅长”什么的……

BastiSo you basically heard everything, didn't you!!!那不是全都被听到了吗！！！

BastiOh no, I must have said all kinds of lewd things while I was talking to myself...怎么办，我自言自语的时候肯定说了很多奇怪的话……

BastiThis is bad, Darling's going to think of me as a lewd woman!完了，要被Darling当成奇怪的女人了！

CommanderI heard not a lick of lewdness, only you yelling my name.你没说什么奇怪的话，就是喊了我的名字。

BastiIsn't that lewd enough AAAAAAAAAAHHH!那就够奇怪了啊啊啊啊啊！

(Seeing as Basti is on the verge of a mental breakdown, I hastily try to steer the topic back on track.)（眼看贝丝蒂陷入崩溃，我赶紧把话题拉回正轨。）

CommanderWill you be alright? Fixing your own body and all that looks really dangerous.你这样没问题吗？自己修理素体什么的，看上去很危险啊。

BastiIt's fine. I had to repair myself a lot when I was living by myself.没问题的，因为我独自生活的时候，经常要自己维修素体。

BastiSometimes, when Faelynn broke down, I had to help her out too.有时候芙铃身上出了故障，也是我去帮她。

BastiI was very good at little things like that.这种小事我很擅长啦。

CommanderSo you were calling for help because...?那你求救是因为……？

BastiI'm sorry... I messed up this time...对不起……只有这次搞砸了……

BastiI was too hasty and broke some components because I used too much force.刚才因为太心急，不小心用力过猛，弄坏了一些部件。

BastiI can't move at all now...我现在完全动不了了……

(Indeed, Basti's been sprawled across the bed ever since I entered the room. The only thing she's been able to move is her eyes, forlornly glancing at me with a pitiful stare through her messy hair.)（是的，从我进入房间到现在，贝丝蒂一直维持着侧躺在床上的姿势，只有一双眼睛透过凌乱的发丝，可怜巴巴地向我张望。）

CommanderDon't overdo it. Let me help you.别逞强了，让我来帮你吧。

BastiBut, I, um, I've got a virus. I don't know if I'll end up doing anything to you...可、可是，我中了电子病毒，我不知道会不会做出对Darling不利的事……

BastiKyaaaaah—!呀——！

(I ignore Basti and scoop her up in my arms. She quivers from head to toe, but she's powerless to do anything else besides draping herself across my arms.)（我不由分说地把贝丝蒂抱了起来。她浑身颤抖了一下，可是身体无力做出其他反应，就这么软绵绵地搭在我手臂上。）

BastiDarling, is this... is this a princess carry?Darling，这是，这是！这是……这是公主抱吗？

CommanderIs it? I don't know. I just want to get your frame fixed.是吗？不知道，我只是想带你去维修素体。

(Basti's eyes glisten, and I can hear her muttering to herself.)（贝丝蒂目光闪烁，我隐隐听到她在呢喃。）

BastiIn that case... I'd rather not get fixed.要是这样的话……还是不要修好了吧。

MaylingShe's all fixed, Commander! Basti's body is alright now!修好啦，指挥官！贝丝蒂的素体并没有大碍！

BastiThanks, I guess...谢啦……

(Although she's relieved to be better, Basti still seems a little disappointed.)（在松了一口气之余，贝丝蒂看上去还有些许的失落。）

Basti(Sigh) Darling won't carry me back now...哎，Darling不会抱我回去了……

(My attention is elsewhere at that moment.)（此时此刻，我正在关注的是其他地方。）

CommanderWhat about the virus in her?她身上的电子病毒是什么情况？

MaylingUm... I'm analyzing it...唔……正在分析中……

MaylingI, uh, I don't think I can handle it...我、我好像处理不好……

CommanderCalm down, Mayling. Take it easy.美玲，别着急，慢慢来。

MaylingUm... I haven't found a way to cure the virus yet.嗯……目前还没有找到消除病毒的方法。

MaylingHowever... we can be sure that the virus won't cause us problems.不过……暂时可以确定的是，病毒并不会给我们带来危险。

MaylingIt can't affect anything related to her fire control systems, and it can't insert attack orders into her decision tree.它无法影响火控相关的任何一个环节，也无权向决策树中插入攻击指令。

MaylingThe primary area it affects... is probably Basti's emotional module.主要影响的区域……应该是贝丝蒂的情感模块吧。

CommanderHer emotional module?情感模块？

MaylingI, um, I can't really explain in more detail...更、更多的我说不清楚……

MaylingEmotional modules are really complex and I need to do more analysis...情感模块太复杂了，我还要再分析分析……

CommanderThank you, Mayling. Just knowing that Basti isn't dangerous is good enough for me.辛苦你了，美玲。现在知道贝丝蒂没有危害就很不错了。

BastiAre you sure? Am I really 100% harmless?真的能确定吗？百分之一百没有危害吗？

BastiThere are lots of ways to hurt people even without a fire control core!就算无法调用火控模块，伤害别人的方法还有好多好多种呢！

CommanderDon't worry, Basti. You won't harm me.贝丝蒂，不用担心，你不会伤害我的。

BastiNo, I don't believe that one bit. Your safety is one thing I can't gamble on, Darling...不行，我没有自信，我不敢赌上Darling的安全……

BastiMayling, can you perform another procedure on my frame?美玲，可以再对我的素体进行一些操作吗？

MaylingHm? But your frame is fine. It doesn't need any repairs.唔？你的素体很好啊，没什么需要修的地方。

BastiNo, I want the opposite of that.不，我想要做相反的事情。

BastiPlease help me to deactivate 60% of my motive systems.帮我关停60%的驱动结构，拜托了。

MaylingEh?! That, uh, that sounds pretty extreme...欸？！这、这样是不是太乱来了……

BastiAll potential threats to Darling must be eliminated. Even if I'm one of them.我会为Darling消除一切潜在威胁，即便那威胁就是我自己。

The Disease Called Love 2 病名为爱2

(Upon waking up, the Elmo is filled with its usual activity.)（一觉醒来，艾莫号上重新恢复了热闹。）

KrolikHaaah—we're finally home~哈啊——终于回家咯~

NemesisThe fledgling of dusk, its feathers scattered and drifting.黄昏的雏鸟，羽毛四散飘零。

KrolikYou're calling ME lazy? Who was the one whining about wanting to go back to the dorm yesterday?!说我懒？是谁昨天嚷嚷着说想回到休息室啊！

MaylingTeam Groza, you're back~闪电小队，你们回来啦~

GrozaYes, the supply run went very well. The broker at the trade fair seemed quite eager to be rid of their stock, offering very good prices for them.嗯，采购进行得非常顺利，集市上的暗商急于套现，给出的价格都算实惠。

GrozaI don't think the Elmo will be running short of supplies in the short term.艾莫号近期应该不会缺物资了。

MaylingAlso, uh, what about the private order for rice wine I placed...那，我单独塞给你的米酒清单……

GrozaIt's all there. Have a look.全都买到了，你看。

(Groza pats a styrofoam box with a "FRAGILE" label on it.)（闪电拍了拍一个贴着“易碎品”标签的泡沫箱。）

MaylingUwah! Groza, you're the best! You're so capable! You're so kind!哇！！！闪电你太好了，太有能力了，太善良了！

GrozaTake good care of it now.好好收起来吧。

GrozaOh yes, where's the Commander?对了，指挥官呢？

MaylingHe should be at work. Come on, let's go find him!应该在工作吧。走，我们去找他！

MaylingCommander, Groza and the others are back—指挥官，闪电她们回来了——

MaylingHuh? Isn't he here...?咦，不在吗……？

(The door to the ops room opens, but there's nobody inside.)（推开指挥室的房门，里面空无一人。）

MaylingThat's strange, I was talking to him just now. Where'd he go all of a sudden...奇怪，刚才还在这里跟我说话呢，怎么一转眼就不见了……

GrozaThe Commander's probably busy. It's alright, I can wait here for him.指挥官肯定是忙正事去了。没关系，我可以在这里等他。

GrozaIn fact, this timing is pretty good. I have a few questions I'd like to ask before the Commander returns.正好，趁指挥官回来之前……我有几个问题想问。

GrozaSince you spend every day with him, you might know the answers.如果是天天待在指挥官身边的美玲，说不定会知道。

MaylingSure thing. What do you want to ask?好啊，是什么问题呀？

GrozaDo you... Do you know what the Commander likes?你……知道指挥官会喜欢什么吗？

MaylingEh?! So it's THAT kind of question?欸？！是这种问题吗！

MaylingThe, the Commander, the Commander likes, uh... let me, uh, let me think about this...指挥官，喜欢……你、你让我想想……

(In this very moment, every word that Mayling and Groza speak is heard with complete clarity.)（此时此刻，我能清晰地听到美玲和闪电交谈的每一个字。）

(That's because I'm also in the room, right beside them. It seems nobody has noticed the closet in the corner of the room has been shaking in an unusual way.)（因为我就在房间里，就在她们两个身边。没有人注意到，墙角的衣柜正在发出不同寻常的抖动。）

BastiShhh—嘘——

(Within the confines of this dark, cramped closet, Basti straddles me. She has one hand over my mouth, and there is something very wrong with her.)（漆黑、狭窄的衣柜空间里，贝丝蒂正骑在我身上、捂住我的嘴，她的样子充满异常。）

(The heat rippling off her body fills me with warmth, a sign showing that certain components of hers may be running over their tolerances. Indeed, it could even be said that the heat is from her reason evaporating away.)（我能感受到从她素体中呼出的热气，也许是某些部件正在超负荷运转的信号。或者说，是她的理性正在蒸发的证据。）

(Just two minutes ago, I was about to welcome Groza back when the closet wrenched wide its "gaping maw". Basti, who had been hiding within, swiftly dragged me into its ravenous stomach.)（两分钟前，就在我准备出去迎接闪电的时候，衣柜突然张开了“血盆大口”，不知什么时候藏在里面的贝丝蒂一把将我拖了进去。）

(I tried calling her name, but it was to no avail. The only thing she cared about was pressing her body against mine, arresting my motion and speech.)（我试着叫了她的名字，但是她根本听不进去，只顾着将素体牢牢纠缠在我身上，不让我行动也不让我说话。）

(If I'm not wrong, this must be that computer virus of hers at work.)（如果我猜得没错，一定是她的电子病毒发作了。）

BastiI'm curious too, Darling. What DO you like?我也很好奇。Darling，你喜欢什么呢？

(Her voice comes out as just a murmur, but it was nonetheless charged with intense emotion.)（她的轻声细语却带着强烈无比的情绪。）

(By the illumination of her faintly glowing eyes, I see a pair of scissors come to light.)（借着贝丝蒂眼眸发出的微光，我看到她掏出了一把剪刀。）

BastiIt's ME, right? It's got to be me!是贝丝蒂，对吧？一定是贝丝蒂吧！

(She brings the scissors to my throat.)（那把剪刀向着我的喉咙靠近。）

(Should I be afraid? The cold blade could pierce my throat at any time.)（我该害怕吗？冰冷的刀具随时都能划破我的要害。）

(However, the warm softness that's tightly entwined with me swiftly banishes that insignificant chill.)（但是与我紧紧纠缠在一起的温热触感，又驱散了那点微不足道的寒意。）

BastiYou know, having to keep hiding how I feel is really tiring.你知道吗，隐瞒本性是一件很累的事情。

BastiI've had enough of it. I've wanted to do this for so, so long...我早就忍不了了，我早就想这样做了……

(Kachak. The scissors close less than five centimeters below my throat.)（咔嚓。剪刀在我喉咙下方不到五厘米的地方咬合。）

(Basti has just snipped open my shirt.)（贝丝蒂剪开了我的衣服。）

BastiI can't be satisfied with just this. I need more—so much more!现在这样根本满足不了我，我还要更多——更多！

(As I thought, Basti never intended to hurt me.)（果然，贝丝蒂并没有伤害我的意思。）

(Rough with my clothes, gentle on my body. It's as if she's unwrapping a most precious gift.)（她粗暴地对待我的衣服，却又小心地对待我的身体，就像在拆开一份珍贵的礼物。）

BastiI'm a greedy girl, you know. When you weren't around, I thought that being by your side once more would be the happiest thing in the world.我是贪得无厌的家伙，见不到Darling的时候，我以为回到你身边就是最幸福的事。

BastiBut after meeting you, after realizing that these hands of mine can finally touch you, all sorts of desires begin to gush from within me.可是一旦碰面了，看着触手可及的你，我又会萌生出数不尽的欲望。

BastiI want you. All to myself. Be rid of everything standing between me and you.想要占有你，独享你，打破阻隔在你我心意之间的东西。

BastiAnd see, I'm finally here. The walls, the air, and now your clothes... I'm here, at last—你看，贝丝蒂要做到了。我穿过墙壁、空气、衣服，终于来到了这里——

(Basti rips my clothes off and presses her cheek to my chest. )（贝丝蒂把我的衣服撕开，脸颊紧贴在我的胸膛上。）

(A spark of warmth tingles between our skin, shocking me in place.)（就像是触电一样，一道温和的电流在我们零距离接触的皮肤间游走。）

(The only thing that's out of place, however, in this intimate tete-a-tete is the fact that I can still make out the two voices from the outside.)（而与这份亲昵格格不入的是，我的耳边仍然清晰可辨地传来另外两个声音。）

MaylingI think the Commander might like massages.我觉得，指挥官说不定会喜欢按摩喔。

GrozaMassages?按摩？

MaylingYeah. The Commander's been really busy lately and he keeps complaining about how sore his body gets.对啊，最近指挥官工作很忙，经常抱怨身上酸痛。

MaylingI'm sure he'd be really happy if he had someone to help him relax with a massage!有人帮他按摩放松一下的话，肯定会很开心吧！

GrozaI see... Understood, I'll study massage techniques in my free time.这样啊……知道了，我会学习按摩技巧的。

(Hearing this seems to excite Basti.)（听到这一番话，贝丝蒂好像突然来了兴致。）

BastiSo that's what you like, Darling. Why didn't you tell me sooner?原来Darling喜欢按摩啊，怎么不早跟我说。

BastiMy, where does it hurt? Hmm. Lemme see—酸痛的地方在哪里？唔，让贝丝蒂来找一找吧——

(She pinches my shoulders and slowly exerts her strength, loosening and unkinking the muscles that had been stiff for so long.)（她捏住了我的肩膀，平缓地泄出力道，把长期僵硬的肌肉从头到尾拨弄了一遍。）

(Ah, it feels good. I want to groan in pleasure, but fortunately, she's covered my mouth.)（啊，好舒服，好想叫出声来，幸好她捂住了我的嘴。）

BastiWow, you have such a delicious look on your face now, Darling~哇，Darling露出了好美味的表情啊~

BastiIn that case, what if I try elsewhere?那么，别的地方怎么样呢？

(Her hands roam lower, to my waist. Wait a minute, did she confuse massages with tickling?)（她的手往下移，放在了我的腰间。等一下，她是不是把按摩和挠痒痒搞混了？）

(As her fingers begin to work, I can't help thrashing around.)（随着她手上用力，我浑身上下不自觉地发出了挣扎。）

GrozaHm? Did you hear something just now?咦？你有没有听到什么声音？

MaylingWas there a sound? Hm... Maybe it's the water heater next door. Don't worry about it.有声音吗？唔……可能是隔壁的热水器吧，不用在意啦。

MaylingSpeaking of massages, I think the Commander would like it rough.说回按摩，我觉得指挥官会喜欢粗暴一点的。

GrozaRough? But this is the Commander we're talking about! How could I use force on him?粗暴？不行，那可是指挥官，对他怎么能粗暴呢！

MaylingYou don't get it. Human bodies are strange things. Being rough on them isn't necessarily bad.你不懂，人类的身体是很奇妙的，粗暴未必是坏事。

MaylingFrom my observations... um, that is to say, uh...从我的观察来看……嗯，就是说，那个……

MaylingIn any case, he'll like it! Trust me!总之他会喜欢的！相、相信我吧！

(I think I see Basti licking her lips.)（我好像看到贝丝蒂舔了一圈嘴唇。）

BastiSo you like it rough, hm... Teehee, I like that too~粗暴啊……嘻嘻，我也喜欢~

(Basti's movements suddenly grow more aggressive. She claws at me like a starving beast.)（贝丝蒂的动作一下子变得激进起来，像一只饥饿的野兽，不断地向我索取。）

(Can this even be called a massage anymore? Perhaps this is what we'd call a Basti-style massage.)（这还叫按摩吗？或者说，这才是贝丝蒂风格的按摩。）

(She's tearing off more of my clothing as she rubs her skin up against mine. Clearly, she craves more contact with me.)（她一边碰撞着我的肌肤，一边撕扯着我的衣物。她渴望更多的接触。）

(However, I soon realize that all this supposed aggression actually feels soft and gentle on my body.)（不过我很快发现，她看似激进的动作，落在我身上全都软绵绵的。）

(Is she afraid of hurting me?)（是害怕伤到我吗？）

BastiThis belt of yours is really getting in the way.腰带，很碍事呢。

(Basti reaches down to try and get rid of the obstacle to her prize.)（贝丝蒂把手伸向腰带，尝试着把那个碍事的东西解开。）

(However, this simple action seems to stymie her.)（然而，这个简单的动作却卡住了她。）

BastiHm? What... Why can't I pull it out...嗯？怎么……抽不出来……

(Basti uses all her strength, her frame straightening out, even trembling from the exertion.)（贝丝蒂卯足了力气，素体绷得笔直，甚至在微微发抖。）

(Strangely enough, I don't feel any force being applied to my waist.)（与之相悖的是，我并没有感到腰间传来任何力道。）

(Oh, I remember now. She asked Mayling to disable most of her frame's motive systems.)（哦，我想起来了，她昨天让美玲关停了素体大部分驱动结构。）

(Right now, she's so weak that she can't even pull my belt off.)（现在的她软弱无力，连抽出腰带的本事都没有。）

BastiNooo, it's not fair, I was soooo close to going all the way with Darling—!不行，只差一点了，只差一点就能和Darling更进一步——！

(Basti looks utterly miserable. Her teeth are clenched; it seems she's using all the strength she has in her body.)（贝丝蒂脸上写满了不甘心，她咬紧牙关，好像用上了浑身上下的力量。）

(Unfortunately, my belt refuses to budge.)（可惜，腰带仍然纹丝不动。）

BastiWhy... why is this happening!怎么这样……怎么这样！！！

(Moisture wells up in Basti's eyes; she is so frantic that she's been driven to the brink of tears.)（贝丝蒂双眼闪动着泪花，快要被自己的无能给急哭了。）

(She tries to use her surroundings for leverage, her legs thrashing around, no longer caring how much noise she makes.)（她尝试向四周的一切借力，两条腿乱蹬，甚至顾不上会发出多大声响。）

GrozaSay, Mayling, there really is a weird noise in the room.美玲，房间里真的有奇怪的声音。

MaylingYeah, it's coming from the direction of the closet.是哦，衣柜那边一直在响。

MaylingWhat could it be...什么东西呢……

(The door suddenly flies open, and the ceiling lights illuminate our dark little corner of the room.)（衣柜门突然被拉开，灯光终于照耀了这个阴暗的小角落。）

(Before I can adjust to the change in lighting, the air fills with discordant screams.)（我还没来得及适应光线变化，就听到一阵嘈杂的尖叫声。）

GrozaC-Commander? Basti? What are you... What is all this?!指、指挥官？贝丝蒂？你们这是……这是在做什么？！

MaylingLet go of the Commander already!快把指挥官放开啊啊啊啊！

The Disease Called Love 3 病名为爱3

BastiDaaaaaaaarliiiiing~ What are we going to do in this dark little enclosed room?Dar——ling~把我拉到这种封闭的小黑屋里是想做什么呀？

BastiOh, I know. It must be something naughty.我知道的哦，是坏心眼的事情。

BastiYou're going to delve deep into my body and uncover all my dirty little secrets, aren't you?你要深入我的身体、探寻我的秘密了，对吗？

CommanderYup.嗯。

MaylingWe're, uh, we're just checking your neural logs. You don't have to make it sound so lewd...只、只是查询心智记录而已啦，不要说得那么奇怪……

(Basti is clinging to my arm and has plastered herself to my side.)（贝丝蒂正攥着我的胳膊，紧紧靠在我身边。）

(I'm already used to this sort of intimacy. She's become much more clingy than usual thanks to the virus, to the point where she can't bear to separate her body from mine.)（我已经习惯了这种亲密的姿态。由于病毒的影响，她变得比以往更加粘人，就连肢体上与我分开都不能容忍。）

MaylingLooks like the virus caused a spike regarding the variables in Basti's emotional module, which is why she's acting so... passionate.看样子……是病毒造成了贝丝蒂情感模块里变量的激增，所以才表现出过度的情绪化。

BastiHuh? But my feelings are real~欸？明明是人家的真心哦~

CommanderMm. I believe you.嗯嗯，我相信。

MaylingAhem! Please listen to me!咳咳！好好听我说话！

MaylingHonestly, you don't care a bit about how it feels for me...真是的，一点都不在乎我的感受……

MaylingAlright, back on topic! After checking back through the data, I found a date in the neural logs.好啦，说回正事！从数据上追溯，我在心智记录里找到了一个日期。

MaylingIt's when the virus file first appeared.那是病毒文件最早出现的时间点。

CommanderIn other words, it was the day when Basti was infected by the virus?也就是说，贝丝蒂是在那天染上电子病毒的？

MaylingYup, that's very likely! If we check through the logs, we might be able to find the source of the virus...嗯，很有可能！查看记录内容的话，说不定能找到病毒源头……

MaylingI, er, I'll put them up on the main screen.我、我传输到屏幕上给你们看。

(Soon, I see a not-very-distinct image on the screen before me.)（很快，我们面前就显现出了不算清晰的影像。）

(It is an unfamiliar room, covered in pastel pink decorations and looking very girlish.)（那是一个陌生的房间，到处都装饰得粉粉嫩嫩，充满少女气息。）

(However, upon closer inspection, various things start to look very familiar.)（不过仔细看去，种种细节又令人非常熟悉。）

(Those wall scrolls, those pictures, that bolster, that plushie—)（那些挂画、照片、抱枕、玩偶——）

(They're all of me!!!)（怎么全都是我啊！！！）

BastiAnh, that was my room from when I was living by myself! It takes me back~哎呀，是人家独居时候的房间！好怀念啊~

MaylingWhat, what, what... what's with all those decorations?!你、你、你……你这些装饰是怎么回事？！

BastiOh, they were my emotional support. After seeing them, I could imagine living under the same roof as Darling...是我的心灵支柱啊。看着它们，我就能幻想和Darling生活在一个屋檐下……

BastiIsn't that normal?这很正常吧？

MaylingIn what world is that normal...哪里正常了……

BastiHmph! Someone like you who's lucky enough to have Darling by your side all day long wouldn't understand!哼，你这种天天待在Darling身边的幸运儿是不会懂的！

BastiLook over there, Darling. Doesn't that picture by the headboard look familiar?Darling，你看啊，床头的那张照片眼熟吗？

CommanderEr, let me think, that's...呃，我想想，好像是……

BastiIt's okay if you don't remember, because it's a creepshot~想不起来就对了，因为是我偷拍的~

BastiNow take a look at that plushie on the bed. I sewed it myself! Looks just like you, doesn't it?你再看床上的玩偶，是我亲手缝出来的，很像吧！

CommanderSpeaking of the bed, there's one thing that caught my eye.说到床上，我更在意另一件东西。

CommanderThat piece of clothing on it... Isn't that my coat?铺在上面的那件衣服……是我的外套吗？

BastiThat's right! I nabbed it from Griffin when I left!答对了！是我离开格里芬的时候特意偷走的！

BastiWhen I use it as a blanket, it feels nice and warm, like being hugged by you!用它当被子，就好像被Darling拥抱着入睡一样，特别温暖！

MaylingShe's a pervert... all these are the actions of a pervert...变态啊……完全就是变态行为……

BastiUnfortunately, that stingy little brat Faelynn stole the hat from the set.唯一可惜的是，同一套里面的帽子被芙铃那个小气鬼拿走了。

BastiOtherwise, I'd have a "towel" too.不然的话，我还能多一条“毛巾”。

(As she says this, Basti appears on screen.)（正说着，画面里贝丝蒂冒了出来。）

(She's holding a string of lights and looks very happy. She patiently decorates the room with them and pastes hearts on the wall.)（她看起来很高兴，手上拿着一串串彩灯，开始耐心地用它们装饰房间，在墙上贴出爱心的形状。）

CommanderYou seem to be putting a lot of effort into this. Was there some special occasion on that day?这么用心，当天是什么节日吗？

BastiA special occasion? But I rarely celebrate those at home.节日？可是我很少在家过节……

(Basti suddenly seems to remember something.)（突然，贝丝蒂好像想起了什么。）

BastiAaaaaahhhhhh noooooo wait! I remember what it is now!啊啊啊等一下，是那件事！

BastiDon't look, Darling! You, erm, you mustn't watch it!不行Darling！你、你不要看了！

(Basti tries to cover my eyes, but it only serves to pique my curiosity.)（贝丝蒂试图捂住我的眼睛，但是这反而激起了我的好奇心。）

CommanderBasti, we need to understand the virus' source to cure it, don't we?贝丝蒂，我们要治好你身上的病毒，就必须了解它的起源，对吗？

BastiBut...可是……

(I take hold of Basti's weak little arms and easily pull them aside.)（我捏住贝丝蒂绵软无力的手，轻而易举地把它拿开。）

(On the screen, Basti has already finished decorating the room and is playing soothing music over the loudspeakers.)（屏幕上，贝丝蒂已经完成了房间布置，音响中播放起抒情的音乐。）

(She pulls down the translucent curtain and hangs it on herself. The lingering light of sunset adorns them like twinkling jewels.)（她扯下透光的窗帘披在身上，夕阳残留的余晖为它镶嵌了一袭珠宝。）

MaylingThat's so pretty, it's like...好漂亮啊，像……

(Like a wedding dress.)（像婚纱一样。）

(From the blush on Basti's face, it's evident what she was thinking back then.)（从贝丝蒂绯红的脸上很容易读出来，这就是她当时所想的事情。）

(Still draped in the curtain, she picks up a dummy that resembles me and begins dancing with it in her room, swaying in time with the music.)（贝丝蒂披着窗帘、合着音韵，搂起三分像我的假人，在房间里翩翩起舞。）

(To an outsider, all this would look like a lovely scene.)（从置身事外的角度来看，这确实是一幅非常唯美的画面。）

(As the song ends, Basti stands still and affectionately closes her eyes.)（一曲终了，贝丝蒂原地站定，含情脉脉地闭上了眼睛。）

MaylingAre you going for a kiss?你不会要亲上去吧？

BastiShuttup don't say iiiiiitttttt!不要说了啊啊啊啊！

(On the screen, Basti quickly smooches the dummy on the cheek before fleeing with pink cheeks.)（画面中的贝丝蒂飞快地在假人脸上嘬了一口，然后就红着脸逃开。）

(After this play-acted "wedding" comes to an end, I see Basti sitting in front of her desk and connecting a terminal to her frame.)（这场过家家一般的“婚礼”似乎进入了尾声。我看到贝丝蒂在书桌前坐下，将素体连接上了一台终端。）

CommanderWhat are you doing?这是在做什么？

Basti...……

(The Basti on screen falls silent too.)（画面里外的贝丝蒂陷入了同样的沉默。）

(Meanwhile, Mayling is typing rapidly on the keyboard, bringing up more data.)（与此同时，美玲正在不断地敲击键盘，调出更多信息。）

MaylingI found the operation log from that day. This is...!我找到了当天的操作记录，这是……！

MaylingBasti, were—were you trying to overwrite your neural cloud?贝丝蒂，你、你想要覆写自己的心智？

CommanderYou were overwriting your neural cloud?!覆写心智？！

BastiI...我……

MaylingThe log shows that Basti was using a neural archive from 10 years ago to overwrite her current neural cloud...记录中显示，贝丝蒂尝试用一份十年前留下的心智存档来覆写当前的心智……

(I immediately tense up. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a Doll.)（我不由得紧张起来。对于人形来说，这是非常危险的事情。）

(A neural cloud is a Doll's consciousness. It is a vessel for their personality. Any form of external tampering could lead to an uncontrolled butterfly effect.)（心智是人形的思想，是她们人格的载体，任何人为干预都可能引发不受控的蝴蝶效应。）

(It is then that I realize that the "wedding" just now was a farewell from Basti.)（我这时才意识到，刚才那场“婚礼”实则是贝丝蒂的告别。）

(Why did she do it? Did she succeed?)（她为什么要这么做？她的操作成功了吗？）

(Was there a "Basti" who was murdered by herself and completely erased from the world?)（难道有一个“贝丝蒂”已经被她自己抹杀，彻底从世界上消失了？）

(Suddenly, a loud crash interrupts my thoughts.)（突然，一声巨响打断了我的思绪。）

(On the screen, the door to Basti's room has been smashed to bits that are strewn all over the floor.)（屏幕上，贝丝蒂的房门被炸成了一地碎片。）

FaelynnBasti! What were you doing behind my back?!贝丝蒂！你在背着我干什么呢！

BastiFaelynn?! What are you doing back here?芙铃？！你怎么回来了！

BastiYou, weren't you going to ambush the Varjagers?你、你不是去埋伏瓦良格帮了吗？

FaelynnI was feeling restless, so I decided to come back and check on you. And what do you know, you're here doing bad things!我一路上心神不宁，就决定回家看看。好啊，你果然在干坏事！

FaelynnTalk! Were you going to leave me by myself again?!说！是不是又想把我一个人丢下啊！

BastiI wasn't...没有……

FaelynnI know what you're doing! That terminal contains a backup of your neural cloud!我知道！那台终端里存储着你的心智备份！

FaelynnYou wanted to forget me, forget all the memories of us living together!你想把我忘掉，把我们一起生活的记忆全都忘掉！

Basti...Wait a minute, why are YOU scolding ME?……等一下，为什么是你在教训我。

BastiYou broke my door down and barged into a girl's room! Shouldn't you be apologizing to me?!你破坏房门擅自闯入女孩子的房间，难道不应该道歉吗？

FaelynnIt's just a door. I'll pay you for it!一道房门而已，赔给你就是了！

BastiSure, that'll be 20,000 Collapse Pieces.好啊，2万根坍塌晶条。

FaelynnThat's a total ripoff!!!哪有那么贵啊！！！

(The sound of Basti and Faelynn's argument fills the room. It's so loud Mayling has to turn the volume down.)（贝丝蒂和芙铃的吵闹声充斥着房间，让美玲不得不调小了音量。）

(Meanwhile, I notice that Faelynn's appearance interrupted Basti's neural cloud overwrite procedure.)（而我注意到，芙铃的介入打断了贝丝蒂的心智覆写程序。）

(The half-overwritten archive remains in Basti's neural cloud, becoming a redundant file.)（那份覆写到一半的存档留在了贝丝蒂的心智里，成为一份冗余文件。）

(Its creation date is a perfect match for the origin of the virus.)（它的登记时间，和病毒的源头完全一致。）

The Disease Called Love 4 病名为爱4

MaylingThis isn't working... we've found the source, but... I still can't get rid of the virus...不行……虽然找到了源头，但是……病毒还是没办法清除……

MaylingIf we just deleted the file, we'd definitely cause damage to Basti's current neural cloud...如果简单将源文件删除的话，肯定会伤害到贝丝蒂现在的心智……

(I notice that sweat starts to bead on Mayling's forehead.)（我注意到美玲额头上一直在渗出汗珠。）

(Knowing that repairing a Doll's neural cloud might result in irrevocable consequences is just too much pressure for her.)（维修人形的心智随时都可能造成不可挽回的后果，这对她压力太大了。）

CommanderThat's enough, Mayling. You've worked hard.可以了美玲，你辛苦了。

CommanderIt's late. Go get some rest.今天先休息吧，时间已经不早了。

BastiI'm sorry... I caused trouble for everyone because I was impulsive...对不起……因为我的一时冲动，给大家添麻烦了……

CommanderDon't worry, Basti.贝丝蒂，别担心。

(I reach out and grab her trembling hand.)（我主动握住了她不安的手。）

CommanderI'll help solve your problem.我会解决好你的问题。

(I bring Basti back to her room.)（我带着贝丝蒂回到了她休息的房间。）

(Along the way, our tightly clasped hands seem to help ease her depression.)（这一路上，我们紧握的双手似乎稍微缓解了她的低落。）

BastiDarling, I'm so glad you did all this for me!Darling，你能为我做这么多，我真的特别高兴！

BastiYou got all worried because I got sick and even helped send me back after I was cured...不止是为我的病毒操心，治疗结束之后还送我回来……

CommanderWho said you were cured?谁和你说治疗结束了。

BastiHuh?欸？

CommanderThe real treatment has only just begun.现在，治疗才真正开始。

CommanderI'm going to be your personal physician.我来当你的私人医生。

(I affect a stern look and sit Basti down beside me on the bed.)（我装出一副严肃的样子，拉着贝丝蒂在床边坐下。）

CommanderNow, as your physician, you mustn't lie to me or hide anything from me. If I ask a question, you have to answer it. Got that?对医生不能说谎、不能隐瞒，医生问你什么就答什么，知道了吗？

BastiOooh, so we're playing doctor, then... got it!角色扮演啊……知道了，医生！

(Basti also plays along by acting serious, but she can't hide the mirth in her eyes.)（贝丝蒂也配合地表演着严肃，但眉眼间都是憋不住的笑意。）

CommanderAlright, let's start with the symptoms.先说一下症状是什么。

BastiUm... My symptoms are an excessive desire for you, Darling.唔……我的症状是对Darling产生了过分的欲望。

BastiI can't stop thinking about you, and it gets even worse when I see you, to the point where I just want to run up and...脑子里的遐想停不下来，看到Darling更是控制不住，只想冲到他身上尽情地……

CommanderAlright! Thank you. I've experienced it already. You don't have to elaborate!好了！我领教过了，不用说这么详细！

CommanderSo, uh, about the timing. When did it start?时间呢，从什么时候开始的？

BastiFrom the moment I saw my Darling... No, wait, that just makes me sound too lewd!从见到Darling的第一眼……不对，这样显得我太奇怪了！

BastiI guess it was from when I tried to overwrite my neural cloud...果然还是，从我尝试覆写心智的那天开始吧……

CommanderHm. So, why did you do that?嗯。所以，你为什么要那么做？

BastiI...我……

CommanderYou mustn't lie or hide anything from your personal physician.对医生不能说谎、不能隐瞒。

BastiOf course I won't! I'll answer any questions you have for me, Darling!当然啊！Darling问了我肯定会说的！

BastiI just... I just know that you'll hate me if I tell you.我只是……知道说出来就会被人讨厌。

BastiAfter all, even I hated myself back then.因为，连我都讨厌当时的自己。

CommanderWhy do you say that?为什么要这么说？

BastiI totally messed myself up...我把自己弄得一团糟啊……

BastiAll I do is fixate on small problems and do pointless things to deceive myself.我只会钻牛角尖，做一些无用功来欺骗自己。

BastiI say I love you, but it's just wishful thinking and indulging in romantic fantasies!嘴上说着喜欢Darling，其实只是在自我感动，满足深情的幻想罢了！

BastiNone of my hard work actually means anything. I've never properly lived on my own, and neither did I help you out...我的努力没有任何意义，既没有过好自己的生活，也没有帮上Darling的忙……

BastiBy the time I came to my senses, I realized that I'd become a huge burden.回过神来的时候，我才意识到自己已经变成了一个沉重的包袱。

BastiEven after coming back to your side, all I did was weigh you down.就算回到Darling身边，也只能给你拖后腿……

CommanderNo! You're not like that!不，你不是这样的！

BastiYeah, I thought I shouldn't be like that either.对啊，我也觉得我不该是这样。

BastiI missed those bright and easygoing days in the past. At the very least, I never doubted my love for you.我怀念曾经那段轻松、明亮的日子，至少，我从没质疑过心中所爱。

BastiAnd that comparison gave me my answer.这个对比让我找到了答案。

BastiIf I could go back to my former self, the one from Griffin, would I be able to find those happy times again and return to your side without a care in the world?如果回到曾经、回到格里芬时期的我，是否就能找回快乐的时光，无所顾忌地回到你身边呢？

(I can see the past in her eyes, like moonlight reflected in the darkness.)（我从她眼中看出了向往，就像黑暗中反射的月光。）

CommanderBut what about yourself?可是你自己呢？

CommanderWhat about the unique and irreplaceable Basti who's sitting in front of me right now? Is she not important?现在坐在我面前的，这个独一无二的贝丝蒂，难道就不重要吗？

BastiNothing matters if I can't see my Darling again...如果见不到Darling，怎样的我都毫无意义……

CommanderNo. You do matter to me.不，对我很有意义。

CommanderEverything you've experienced, all your joy and sorrow, every little moment of your life are treasures that I cherish.你身上的所有经历，无论是快乐的还是沉重的，每一个点滴都是我珍视的宝藏。

CommanderIt has made something beautiful, and because of that, your current self is the best of them all.它们塑造出了无比美丽的事物，现在的你就是最好的。

BastiBut Darling, I... I could have been better...Darling，我……我原本可以更好……

CommanderThere's no point comparing what you are to what you could have been.这种自我对比没有意义。

CommanderEverybody grows and changes, and ten years is enough time for many things to change.所有人都会成长，十年的时间足以改变很多东西。

CommanderI've changed a lot from my time in Griffin, and so have you.和格里芬时期相比，我发生了很多变化，你也发生了很多变化。

CommanderBut the one thing that has stayed the same is the bond between us that transcends space and time.然而不变的是，你我之间跨越时空阻隔的联系。

CommanderYou are precious to me and that has never changed.你对我无比重要，这一点从未改变。

BastiDarling—!Darling——！

(Basti flings herself into my arms, smiling as tears streak down her face.)（贝丝蒂扑到我怀里，一边笑一边抽泣。）

BastiI'm so happy to hear that... so, so happy!听到这些我好高兴……真的好高兴！

BastiDo I really deserve to be this happy? Even though there might be a threat hiding inside my body...我有资格享受这样的幸福吗？我的身体里，明明还埋藏着状况不明的隐患……

CommanderI think I have an understanding of the virus inside you now.对于你体内的病毒，我好像有点明白了。

CommanderBut the fact is that it's never posed any threat to me from the beginning.其实自始至终，它从未给我带来过任何隐患。

BastiEh? Really?欸？真的吗？

CommanderAfter seeing how you were "infected", I'm more certain of it now.看到源头之后，我更加确信了。

CommanderIt was born from your neural backup, and it's like a split persona.诞生于心智备份的它，就如同是你的另一个人格。

CommanderThat was why it got so easily tangled up with your neural cloud and exerted influence on it.所以它很容易与你的心智纠缠在一起，彼此间互相影响。

CommanderOur approach to it was wrong from the start. We shouldn't have tried to suppress and destroy it.我们的方法一开始就错了，抵触和消灭并不是解决问题的方法。

CommanderInstead, we should have treated it like a kitty and stroked it along the grain of its fur.就像对待小猫的时候，要顺着毛抚摸才对。

(I gather up the bedsheets and wrap them around Basti.)（我掀起床单，把它披在贝丝蒂身上。）

(Then I take one of her hands in mine and put my other on her waist.)（一只手扶住她的后腰，一只手牵起了她的手。）

(Basti is briefly caught off guard, then looks at me in surprise.)（贝丝蒂先是慌张无措，随后怔怔地看着我。）

(We both know this is a recreation of that scene from her neural cloud.)（我们都知道，这是心智记录中那幅情景的重演。）

CommanderI'm not good at dancing, so you'll have to teach me how to do it.跳舞我不擅长，你要教我。

BastiI'm not good at it either, but... when I'm with you, my body moves on its own.我也不擅长，但是……我会让身体自己动起来。

(She takes the lead, and we dance together in her cramped room.)（她带动着我的身体，一同在狭小的房间里舞动。）

(Without the screen in the way, Basti's potent energy easily infects me.)（没有了屏幕阻隔，贝丝蒂身上那股浓烈的张力轻易地感染了我。）

(Our movements speak louder than words ever could. Her hands, her steps, and her gaze convey the depths of her passion to me.)（动作比语言更加有力，她的手心、脚步、眼神无一不在传递着浓烈的情意。）

(Meanwhile, my body accepts everything she has to give.)（而我的身体，已经替我全盘接受了。）

BastiDarling—Darling——

(The moment the dance ends, she pushes me down onto the bed with all her might, the bedsheets tangling us together.)（舞步停下的那一刻，她奋力将我扑倒在床上，床单将我们纠缠在一起。）

BastiIs this real?这是真的吗？

BastiMy long-cherished wish, my personal, private fantasy... has it really been satisfied?我长久以来的渴望，我独自一人的妄想……真的得到满足了？

CommanderSo, was the virus in charge, or was it you?怎么样，你觉得现在主导你的，是病毒还是你自己？

BastiIt was... Huh? Was it me? But I don't think I was ever that bold.是……欸？是我吗？但是我好像没有这么大胆子。

BastiBut it wasn't the virus either... because that's what I wanted to do...是病毒也不对……因为，这就是我想做的事情……

BastiI... I can't tell...我、我分不清了……

CommanderSee, that's how it should be.你看，这样才是对的。

CommanderPerhaps it was never a virus to begin with, just a needy catgirl's overload.或许那本来就不是病毒，只是被过分压抑的欲望。

CommanderThat neural archive which couldn't completely overwrite yours was your ego, freed from your inhibitions.那份没能覆写成功的心智存档，就是你无所顾忌的自我。

CommanderWhen you put aside the shell that was built up around your heart by time, both it and you are the same inside.抛开时间所塑造的外壳，你们的内在别无二致。

BastiSo your treatment was to have me accept the "virus" and become one with it?所以Darling的治疗是，让我接纳“病毒”，与它合二为一？

CommanderYes. I shall sate its desires.对。我会满足它的所有愿望。

CommanderSo become one with it, just as it becomes one with you.让你成为它，让它成为你。

BastiThen you'd better prepare yourself, Darling, because I'm not so easily satisfied.那你要做好觉悟哦，我没有那么容易满足。

(Basti hugs me tightly, like she's trying to burrow into my body.)（贝丝蒂紧紧拥抱着我，就像要钻进我的身体。）

BastiOh yes, there's one thing I didn't manage to do previously...对了，上次有一件没能做成的事情呢……

(She reaches for my belt.)（她将手伸向我的腰带。）

BastiBut I won't fail this time.这次我不会失败。

Covenant 铭契

BastiDarling... Did you know? The first time I said that word, all I could think about was this moment.Darling……你知道吗，我第一次喊出这个词的时候，脑海中就想象着现在的时刻。

BastiI've imagined it countless times, in different places, at different times, wearing different clothes, and always with you.我已经幻想过无数次了，不同的场景、不同的时间、不同的衣着，同样的你。

BastiBut it's only now, with it actually happening, that I realize reality is better than my imagination.直到实际发生的这一刻我才明白，现实比一切想象更加美好。

BastiSo ask me your question, Darling, because my answer has always been waiting for you.Darling，询问我吧。给你的答案，我从一开始就准备好了——

Hidden Heart 不可告人

BastiDarling, don't look...Darling，那种地方，不要再看了……

(Basti's face goes red. There are traces of moisture in her eyes and she doesn't dare meet my gaze.)（贝丝蒂羞红着脸，眼中隐隐有泪光，根本不敢与我对视。）

(However, that just excites me more.)（然而她越是这样，反而越勾起了我的兴致。）

CommanderShow it to me.给我看看。

BastiNoooo... How could I show that part of me to someone else...不行……这副样子怎么能让人看到……

CommanderSo you won't even let me take a look?连我都不可以吗？

Basti(Whimper) Well, if you insist, Darling...呜……如果Darling非要的话……

(Basti trembles as she turns around, trying her best to conquer her shyness and embarrassment.)（贝丝蒂颤抖地转过身体，好像拼尽全力才能克服羞耻心。）

(And finally I see them—her bangs.)（终于，我看到了——她的刘海。）

BastiI'm sorry, Darling! I'm sorry I made you see this ugly side of me!对不起，Darling！让你看到了这样丑陋的样子！

BastiI, I ruined my bangs!我、我……我把刘海剪毁了啊！

CommanderHm... Did you?唔……有吗？

(To be honest, her bangs don't seem any different from how they usually are.)（其实在我看来，她的刘海跟平时并没有丝毫区别。）

BastiWhat should I do... how can I ever show my face to you again, Darling...怎么办……我以后还有什么脸面出现在Darling面前……

(Looks like things are worse than I imagined. It seems I'll need to do something.)（情况比想象中严重啊，看来我必须做点什么。）

CommanderLet me help you.让我来帮你吧。

BastiHuh? You can?欸？可以吗？

BastiAre we already that close, Darling?我们已经是这种关系了吗，Darling？

(What kind of relationship does she think we have...)（这是什么不得了的关系吗？）

CommanderOf course. Just trust in my skills.当然可以，只要你相信我的技术。

(I pick up the scissors and approach Basti's cheeks. I watch as she closes her eyes tenderly.)（我拿起剪刀，贴近贝丝蒂的脸颊，看到她含情脉脉地闭上了双眼。）

BetisDarling, be gentle, it's my first time...Darling，轻一点，温柔一点……

CommanderI will.嗯。

CommanderDo you want anything else?还有什么要求吗？

BastiNo, even what I said just now wasn't a request either.没有，连刚才那一点也不是要求。

BastiJust do what you want to me, Darling. Feel free to mess me up as badly as you want...Darling只要按照自己的喜好去做就够了，哪怕把我弄得乱七八糟也没有关系……

CommanderAlright, then here I come.好，那我开始了。

(A flurry of noise erupts between Basti and me.)（在我与贝丝蒂之间，爆发出一阵激烈的声响。）

(Basti's eyelids and lips tremble, like she's setting the rhythm for me.)（贝丝蒂的眼睑和嘴唇随之颤动，就像在为我打着节拍。）

(When I stop at last, she finally exhales the breath she's been holding.)（直到我停下动作，她才好不容易喘出一口气。）

CommanderIt's over. You can open your eyes now.结束了，睁眼看看吧。

(Basti opens her eyes and immediately heads over to the mirror.)（贝丝蒂睁开眼睛，立刻凑到了镜子面前。）

BastiWow, it's perfect! How did you do it?哇，很完美！怎么做到的！

CommanderDo you like it?满不满意？

BastiI do! I love it!太满意了！！！

BastiYou really do know my body best, Darling!果然Darling最了解我的身体！

(I reluctantly accept her praise.)（我难为情地收下了这份赞扬。）

(The truth is, I didn't so much as nick a strand of her hair just now.)（其实，刚才我一根头发都没剪。）

Food Tasting 1 美食品尝1

The first taste astounds, immediately awakening slumbering taste buds.入口的惊艳，瞬间唤醒沉睡的味蕾。

CommanderEvery mouthful tastes like bliss.每一口都是幸福的味道。

BastiDarling, I'm good with coffee too. Mine is a match for anyone else's!Darling，泡咖啡我也很拿手哦，不会输给其他人的！

CommanderSo, why are you in my room?所以，为什么要来我休息室？

CommanderI lost my coat in the office, didn't I?明明衣服是在办公室丢的。

BastiSince Little Miss Thief is clearly going for your clothes...既然这位，窃贼小姐的目标是Darling的衣物。

BastiThen her trail will surely lead to your most private spaces!那么她的行动轨迹，就必须包含Darling最私密的空间！

CommanderEhhhh? What's going on here?诶诶诶？这是怎么了。

BastiThis is... this is, uh, yeah! It's sample gathering! I found some fiber samples.这是，这是……对了，这是样本采集处理！我找到了一些纤维样本。

Total Cleanout? Ⅲ 贼不走空？·Ⅲ

CommanderIsn't this the changing room? If I remember correctly, the doorway camera here is broken and you were the one who reported it.这里是，更衣室？我好像记得，这边门口的摄像头坏掉了呢。好像还是你上报的。

BastiSo you actually remembered, Darling... Ahem! In any case, since whoever did this is clearly familiar with the internal workings of the Elmo, they might have found this loophole and fled this way!Darling你还记得呢……咳咳，总之，既然是熟悉内部的人，说不定会发现这个漏洞，然后从这边逃走！

CommanderSo our objective for coming here is to keep an eye out for the thief?所以来这里的目的是监视？

BastiWell done, Darling, you do understand! In any case, just take cover over here! Perhaps our thief might deliver herself into our clutches~Darling也很聪明嘛，总之来这边躲着！说不定小偷就会送货上门呢~

(Basti and I hide inside my personal closet.)（和贝丝蒂一起躲进了我专用的衣柜里）

BastiMove a little closer, Darling, this corner is perfect for observing the room. Or are you embarrassed to be this close to me, Darling?Darling，请再靠近一些，这个角落真的很适合观察呢。还是说，Darling害羞了呢？

CommanderDo we really have to squeeze into such a cramped space? I can feel your breath on my neck, it's kind of ticklish.我们非要挤在这么狭小的空间里吗？你的呼吸都吐到我的脖子上了，痒痒的。

BastiWe'll be better able to catch the thief this way. Don't you find this all so exciting? Also, the way your heart is racing tells me that you don't exactly dislike this either.这样才能更好地抓捕小偷啊，你不觉得这样很刺激吗？而且Darling的心跳声告诉我，你似乎并不讨厌这样呢。

CommanderIt's racing from anxiety.那是紧张的心跳。

BastiOooh, so you get anxious when our bodies touch, Darling. Teehee~ Say, want to make a bet on whether or not the thief will show up?Darling和我贴贴原来会紧张呢，嘻嘻。那我们要不要打个赌？看看小偷这次会不会出现？

BastiIf she does show up... Then you have to grant a single request of mine with no strings attached! Absolutely anything goes!如果她出现了……Darling就要无条件答应我一个要求！任何要求都可以！

CommanderAbsolutely anything? That's way too broad.任何要求？范围太广了。

BastiEhhh~ Darling, are you scared of what I might ask you to do? Or are you saying you have no confidence in being able to win at all?诶~Darling是怕了吗？还是说，Darling对自己能不能赢过我，一点信心都没有？

CommanderI'm not going to take that bait. All the same... I accept. What if the thief doesn't show up?激将法对我没用。不过……我接受。那如果没出现呢？

BastiIf she doesn't show up... then I'll grant any request you want, Darling. Aaaaanything at all!如果没出现……那我也答应Darling一个要求好了。什么~都可以哦！

CommanderAlright, it sounds like I'm going to be playing this game with you no matter what...好吧，听起来像是我无论如何都要陪你玩这个游戏……

CommanderBut before that, I think you're holding my shirt, aren't you? Your hand is being rather naughty, no?在这之前，你手里拿着的应该是我的衬衫吧。手不乖了哦。

BastiIt's important evidence, and it's got your warmth on it, Darling. Plus, it smells nice.这可是重要的物证呢，上面还留着Darling的温度。香香的。

CommanderDidn't you just take this out of my closet?这分明是刚从我的储物柜拿出来的吧？

BastiAw, don't be such a killjoy. Also, doesn't this feel a lot like cracking a case? What kind of person do you think our thief is like? I'm kind of curious.不要这么扫兴嘛，而且你不觉得这样很有破案的氛围吗？你觉得小偷会是个什么样的人呢？我还挺好奇的。

CommanderWell, taking someone else's clothes isn't a good thing, no matter the reason for it or whether or not the item in question is a valuable one.不管是什么原因，随意拿别人衣物的行为都不太好吧，虽然也不是什么贵重的东西。

BastiMaybe she just loves her Commander so much that she can't control herself. If, and I'm just saying if... If someone were to love you like that, what would you do?也许她只是太喜欢指挥官了，才会控制不住自己呢。如果……我是说如果，有人这样喜欢着指挥官，你会怎么办？

CommanderThat doesn't have anything to do with what we're doing now, does it? Though, I would try to clear things up with her and try to approach it from a normal point of view, at least.这个问题和现在的任务无关吧？不过，我应该会好好说清楚，至少从正常的方向来。

BastiA kind answer like that certainly does suit you very well, Commander.真是符合指挥官风格的温柔回答呢。

CommanderShhh... I think I hear something. Did you hear that?嘘……好像有动静，你听到了吗？

BastiIt's the sound of the wind moving the door, Darling. You're being too nervous. Relax, relax.是风吹动门的声音啦，Darling太紧张了。安心，安心。

BastiAre you getting frantic, even though I cherish each and every moment with you, Darling? It's so unfair.是不是觉得有些焦躁了？明明和Darling独处的每分每秒我都格外珍惜呢。真是不公平。

CommanderYou're always saying things like this which give people the wrong impression. Over there, I think I saw something moving past the cabinet just now!你总是说这种让人误会的话。看，储物柜那边好像有影子闪过！

BastiThat wasn't... Honestly, Darling, you're trying to change the subject again. Let me see... Ah, it was a reflection from the security camera dome.我才没有……真是的，Darling又在岔开话题了。让我看看……啊，是监控设备的反光呢。

CommanderLooks like tonight's another bust. Does that mean you lose? So what exactly have you lost?看来今晚又要无功而返了。你输了哦？要输给我什么？

BastiYou can ask for anything at all, Darling~ My entire body belongs to you~Darling想要什么都可以，我整个人都是Darling的哦~

Total Cleanout? Ⅳ 贼不走空？·Ⅳ

BastiOh? Then how do you intend to handle the matter?哦？那你打算怎么处理这件事呢？

CommanderThat will depend on just how you explain that shirt you're currently wearing.这要看你打算怎么解释这件你光明正大地穿着的打底衬衫了。

BastiDarling, were you staring at my body all this time? You're so naughty~ Still, you're so smart that you should have figured it out from the beginning. So why did you play along with me for so long?Darling居然盯着这种地方吗~真是大胆呢。不过以Darling的聪明才智，应该一开始就发现了吧。那为什么还要配合我演这么久的戏呢？

CommanderWell, I wanted to see how far you'd go with it... More importantly, why are you wearing my clothes?因为想看看你究竟会做到什么地步……说到底为什么要穿我的衣服。

BastiThat, um, that's a maiden's secret! I can't reveal it casually!这，这就是少女的秘密了，不许随意窥探！

BastiAh, but if you're not angry at all, does that mean I can consider this shirt to be a gift to me?哎呀，不过Darling完全没有生气的意思呢，那我是不是可以认为这件衣服算是送给我了？

CommanderNo, I'm running out of clothes to wear as it is...不行，我自己都快没有可以穿的衣服了……

BastiBut your scent is really relaxing... I can sleep better at night when I can smell you, Darling...可是这个上面真的有很让人安心的味道嘛……闻着Dalring的味道连睡觉都安稳些了呢。

CommanderMy scent? Do I smell or something?味道？我身上有什么味道吗？

BastiWould I lie to you, Darling? Come have a sniff if you don't believe me. Sniff sniff!我怎么会骗Darling呢，你不信凑上来闻闻。闻闻！

CommanderHmm, I only smell you, Basti. Or is this some trick of yours?我只闻到了贝丝蒂的味道，还是说你又在打什么鬼主意。

BastiCertainly not! I know, it's because you're not close enough! Get closer! Basti hug!怎么会！一定是你靠得不够近，你再靠近点！我抱！

CommanderWhy you little— Just you wait!你，你等着！

BastiHehe, Detective Basti closes yet another case! And as payment, I'll be taking this shirt! Pleasure doing business with you!哼哼，侦探贝丝蒂，大成功！酬金就用这件衬衫抵了！谢谢惠顾！

CommanderWhat do you mean, "closes another case"? It's just a thief crying "stop, thief!"胡说什么呢！明明是贼喊捉贼。

BastiOne thing at a time! I said I'd help you catch the thief, and that's exactly what I did! You're not going to stiff me on the bill, are you?一码归一码！我帮你找到了贼，完成了委托！指挥官不会想赖账吧？

CommanderYou know, by that logic, shouldn't I be allowed to punish this thief?按照这个逻辑，我是不是也该惩罚一下这个贼？

BastiP-Punish the thief? Ah... how are you going to punish me, Darling?惩、惩罚？那……Darling想怎么惩罚我？

CommanderLet's see... How about having you wash all the clothes you stole over the past few days?比如……让你把这些天偷走的衣服都洗干净？

BastiCheh, and here I thought you were finally going to be honest with yourself. Alright then, just leave it to me! I'll make sure I "wash" your clothes clean of all their scent with my nose!切。还以为Darling终于开窍了呢。放心交给我吧！我会用我的鼻子好好地把气味都“洗”干净的！

Commander...Why do I feel like I just ended up screwing myself over? Eh, forget it, I won't be punishing you.…总感觉反而是我吃亏了是怎么回事。算了。惩罚免了。

CommanderThis does not establish a precedent, though. I won't be letting you off so easily next time.但是，下不为例。这是最后一次纵容你了。

BastiYeah, right. You're going to keep going easy on me.才不信呢，你明明还会继续纵容我的。

Record 1Records concerning the Doll codenamed Gr Mk23 ended when the Commander left Griffin. Her file showed that she was a cheerful and energetic Tactical Doll. She was trusted by her peers and always stuck close to the Commander. Perhaps that was the reason why she did not choose to join any particular organization during the restructuring of Griffin. For Mk23, there was only ever one person who was qualified to lead her: the Commander. After leaving Griffin, Mk23 underwent a period of emotional instability. She longed to return to the Commander's side, but she was bound by the shackles of the "Agreement", and her repeated failures to circumvent it plunged her into depression. As a result, she attacked everything that stood in the way of her reunion with the Commander. Thus, she made enemies of many factions, such as the URNC, corporations, and even the Varjagers. In the end, she was marked for a retributive strike by corporate forces and very nearly lost her life. Fortunately, a kind-hearted underground broker saved her. Of course, it is a lamentable fact of life that no good deed ever goes unpunished. Not long afterwards, Mk23's savior was killed in a conspiracy, and her life was reshaped by a series of upheavals. She encountered Gr G41, a fellow Griffin veteran, and the two of them became housemates and partners going forward. Mk23 took up her savior's dying wish and helped take care of a small gang of orphans with no home or kin to turn to. This new life saw her adopting a new name, Basti, which contained the wishes and admiration of the children she sought to protect. While Basti was used to human society, she disliked the rules of the street, and thus she enforced her own rules on the street instead. While she has changed a lot over the past 10 years, her longing to return to the Commander's side has always stayed the same. "Don't touch my stuff! It's all for Darling!"烙印编号Mk23，有关这位人形的记录，随着指挥官离开格里芬一同截止。记录中的她开朗活泼、总是粘在指挥官身边，是深受信赖的精英战术人形。也许正因如此，在格里芬重组的动荡之中，她没有选择追随任何一方势力。对于Mk23来说，有资格领导她的，永远只有指挥官一人。 离开格里芬之后，Mk23陷入了一段情绪不稳定的时期。她渴望回到指挥官身边，却又无法摆脱“协议”的桎梏，一次又一次的挫败为她的心智蒙上了厚厚的阴霾。Mk23对一切阻拦她奔向指挥官的敌人发起攻击，与罗联、财团乃至瓦良格帮等等一系列势力为敌。最终，她招致了财团的围剿报复，险些断送未来。幸好，一位好心的暗商救下了她。 好人总是没有好报，这是一条让人厌恶的规律。没过多久，Mk23的救命恩人就死于另一场阴谋，一系列剧变彻底重塑了Mk23的生活。她结识了同样来自格里芬的G41，两人成为了日后的室友和搭档。她接过了救命恩人的遗愿，照顾起一帮无亲无故的孤儿。新的生活回馈了她一个全新的名字——贝丝蒂，那里面包含着孩童的愿景。 如今，贝丝蒂早已习惯了人类社会，她不喜欢街头的规则，于是把自己的规则带到了街上。在十年之中，她身上已经发生了太多的变化，但渴望回到指挥官身边的那份心意始终如初，从未改变。 “不要动我的东西，它们都是留给Darling的！”

Record 2"You... why..." Gr Mk23's frame had been severely damaged, so much so that she couldn't even form complete sentences anymore. She had been surrounded and attacked by corporate forces not long ago. Their offensive, in the form of dozens of armored vehicles, had very nearly reduced her to scrap. However, Mk23 had no regrets about her fate. This was what she wanted, and this was what she deserved. She wanted to end her life. Perhaps that would be her only path to happiness. So why was it that she was not allowed even that much? A fragile human woman was trying to repair Mk23's ruined body. "Stay still and let me take care of this." Why was she doing this? It made no sense. Humans were creatures who sought the betterment of themselves and avoided anything that would render harm unto them. She ought to have been stripping Mk 23 of her valuable parts before running off. "You're a Griffin Doll, right? I knew your Commander." "He helped me once, so this is me paying it forward." Ah, so it was all thanks to Darling. It's Darling who saved me... As her power supply cut out, Mk23's mind sank into blissful oblivion.“你……为什么……” Mk23的素体损坏程度非常严重，她已经无法说出一个完整的句子了。 就在不久之前，她刚刚经历了财团的围剿，几十辆装甲战车的攻势几乎要把她彻底摧毁。对于自己的下场，Mk23没有丝毫怨言，这是她应得的、自找的。 她想要结束自己的“生命”，也许这样才是通往幸福的归宿。 但是，为什么，连这种事情都不被允许？ 一个弱小的人类女性正在试着维修Mk23残破的躯体。 “你不要乱动，交给我就好了。” 为什么？没道理啊。人类这种趋利避害的物种，这种时候就应该取走她值钱的零部件然后扬长而去。 “你是格里芬的人形，对吧？我认识你的指挥官。” “他帮过我一些忙，所以这次，就当是我的答谢吧。” 啊，原来是Darling，是Darling救了我…… 随着供电切断，Mk23的意识在幸福中陷入黑暗。

Record 3The coordinates QE934DW-H17TR7 corresponded to a cave that bounty hunters had marked as a high-risk area. The piles of corpses spoke of the abandoned hopes of those who tried to enter. Some said a pack of beasts lived in there. Others said it was a Boojum, and there were those who said there were possibly monsters or vengeful ghosts inside it. Gr Mk23 couldn't help but sigh. Humans were really good at stretching the truth. After she entered the cave, the only thing she had found was a Doll. She was blonde-haired, had animal ears, and looked kind of cute. "Begone, intruder!" The animal-eared Doll immediately launched an attack on Mk23. It was easy to see how previous visitors had been eliminated. However, things went differently this time round. It wasn't because Mk23 was much stronger than all the bounty hunters who had come before her, but because the animal-eared Doll had run out of power. She lunged at Mk23 like a raging storm and then collapsed limply in front of her. Mk23 couldn't help but laugh at the sight before her. It slightly reduced the grief in her heart. "You don't have to keep guarding this place. I'll take you somewhere with a power outlet." "Oh yeah, you used to be a Griffin Doll too, right? You look kind of familiar. If I'm not wrong, your name is..." "Ah, I remember now. You're Gr G41."坐标QE934DW-H17TR7，一个被赏金猎人标记为高危地点的山洞，堆积的尸骸预示着所有闯入者的下场。 有人说山洞里住着一群野兽，有人说山洞里住着伯介姆，还有人说山洞里藏着鬼怪冤魂。 Mk23不由得感叹，人类实在很擅长夸大其词，亲自来到山洞里之后，她看到的不过是一个人形而已。 金发、兽耳，长得还有点可爱。 “入侵者，驱逐！” 兽耳人形立刻向Mk23发起了袭击，可以想象，过去的造访者就是这样被干掉的。 不过，这次的画面不一样了。不是因为Mk23比那些赏金猎人强大很多，而是兽耳人形自己电量耗尽了。 她气势汹汹地扑上来，然后软绵绵地倒在了Mk23面前。 Mk23没忍住笑了出来，原本藏在内心的悲恸，也为此淡化了几分。 “别守在这里了，我带你找个有插座的地方住。” “对了，你以前也是格里芬的人形吧？看起来很眼熟，我记得是叫……” “哦，想起来了，是G41啊。”

Record 4"Shhh, she's coming again." When the midnight bell tolled, the kids in the orphanage gathered around the attic stairs and watched the first-floor hall from afar. The cold, clear moonlight shone down on several tables, themselves similarly clear. "Where do you think she'll come from?" "The rafters, I think. I mean, she's a cat." "She's not a cat! She's a pretty big sis!" "Tch, you talk like you've seen her before." "Shut up! Look at the tables!" In the blink of an eye, numerous bundles had appeared on them. The orphans knew that they contained food, clothes, and other vital supplies. Beginning roughly six months ago, these gifts had appeared out of nowhere and had become the kids' lifeline. Meanwhile, the kind person who had left these things behind for them remained a mystery. "Aw, we didn't get to see her again, what a shame..." "Where did all this stuff come from? How come there's no trail left behind?" "That's because she's a goddess from the picture books! You know, the one who's half-god, half-cat, who comes and goes like the wind and protects one's home!" "Are you talking about 'Basti'? Please, you're 8 years old y'know, it's not like you're a little kid anymore. How can you believe tall tales from a storybook?" "But she's just like Basti! Do you think the grown-ups would do nice things like this?" "Er..." "Well, whatever she is, that's what I believe! From now on, I'm going to call her 'Basti'!" Suddenly, a quiet laugh came from the attic window. "Sure. I like that name."“嘘，她又要来了。” 午夜十二点，孤儿院的孩子们鬼鬼祟祟地聚集在阁楼，远远地偷看着一楼大厅。清冷的月光映衬着几张桌子，除此之外，那里什么东西都没有。 “她会从哪里出现？” “房梁吧，毕竟是一只猫啊。” “不是猫！是一位漂亮姐姐！” “嘁，说得好像你见过一样。” “别吵了！你们看桌上！” 一眨眼的功夫，桌面上突然多出来大大小小的好几个包裹。孤儿们知道，那里面装着零食、衣物等等一系列生存物资。从半年前开始，就是这些凭空出现的馈赠支撑着孩子们的生活。至于留下东西的好心人，始终都没有露面。 “可惜啊，这次又没看到……” “到底是从哪来的，怎么连一点痕迹都没留下？” “果然她就是绘本里的神明吧！那个又像人、又像猫，神出鬼没的家庭守护神！” “你是说‘贝丝蒂’吗？拜托，你都是8岁的大孩子了，怎么还相信绘本里瞎编的东西。” “可是明明就一模一样啊，难道你觉得大人会做这种好事吗？” “呃……” “反正我愿意相信！以后我就管大恩人叫‘贝丝蒂’了！” 突然，在孩子们背后，阁楼的窗外传来一声轻笑。 “好啊，我喜欢这个名字。”

Record 5"Hey, must we really have separate rooms?" "Yup, that's a hard requirement." Basti and Faelynn were looking for a new home. It had several requirements; first, it needed to be in a secluded location, preferably in a basement. Second, the landlord had to be hands-off and not ask about their identity. Finally, it had to have two bedrooms. "Actually, I think we could share the same room..." Faelynn didn't agree with that final condition. She felt that living in the same room would be very convenient for two people. "No can do." "Why not?" Basti shot Faelynn a look. She didn't understand why she would ask such a basic question. "Because Darling's the only one I'll share a room with." "It's not like the Commander's with us right now!" "But my bed, my room and my clothes all have things he's used before! When I go to bed and breathe in his scent, it's like I'm lying within his arms..." "I want in too." "What?! Hell no, there will be no threesomes on my watch!" Basti's face turned red, but Faelynn was adamant. "Why not? Master's always had a soft spot for me, so I'm sure he'd be happy if the three of us were together!" "Well, I can't deny he would be happy... But still, threesomes are a no-go!" "Then what will we do if we can't find a suitable place with two bedrooms?" In the end, Basti and Faelynn moved into a spacious three-bedroom suite.“喂，我们一定要住两居室吗？” “对，一定。” 贝丝蒂和芙铃正在物色新住处。首先，位置要足够隐秘，最好是地下室。其次，房东要找神经大条的，不能过问她们的身份。最后，一定要住两居室。 “其实我觉得住一个房间也行……” 芙铃对最后一条原则并不认同。她觉得住一个房间很好，两个人说话很方便。 “不行。” “为什么？” 贝丝蒂瞟了芙铃一眼，她不理解这种简单的事情为什么要问。 “因为我只能和Darling住在一起啊。” “主人现在又不在我们身边！” “但我的床上、身上、房间里全都是他用过的东西！睡觉的时候闭上眼睛、闻着熟悉的味道，就像躺在他怀里一样……” “我也想加入。” “什么？！不行啊，三个人绝对不可以！” 贝丝蒂脸颊通红，而芙铃仍旧理直气壮。 “怎么不行？主人很宠我啊，三个人一起他一定会开心的！” “无法否认他会开心这件事……但是三个人绝对不行！” “那，如果实在找不到合适的两居室怎么办？” 最终，贝丝蒂和芙铃搬入了一间宽敞的三居室套房。

Record 6"Darling, did you like my cooking?" "Mmm, yes. It's good." Basti was wearing an apron today. In fact, she had already tried her hand at various chores in just a few short days aboard the Elmo. Obviously, this wasn't because she was good at those chores or liked doing them, but because I had given compliments to other Dolls. For instance, after praising Voymastina for her culinary skills in the afternoon, Basti would present me with handmade dishes in the evening. Thus, mischief flared in my mind; could I control what Basti did in this way? So I gave it a shot. "Yoohee, I liked your dancing last time." "Hehe, I'm glad you did!" Sure enough, I saw Basti practicing her dance steps in the Rec Room not long after. But why exactly was she street dancing? "Mechty, you look cute when you sleep on the sofa." "Yaaay... Then I'll... go sleep a lil' more..." When I passed by the sofa afterward, I saw Basti asleep on the other side of the sofa. "Loreley, about that little present you gave me last time..." "Hoho, I see you still remember the toys we used during our little 'game', Commander." "Wait a minute, that's not what I meant!" "My, what's this? Did you not like it?" "I quite liked it, actually..." I noticed Basti's ears perking up. Crap, I may have just bitten off more than I can chew... That night, when I returned to my room with a heart filled with dread, I noticed some things on the bed that definitely weren't mine. Behind me, the door closed with an audible click. A pair of arms creeped around me, hands bringing a whisper to my ear: "Have faith in me, Darling. Anything she can do I can do better!"“Darling，我做的饭好吃吗？” “嗯，嗯。很不错。” 今天的贝丝蒂是以身穿围裙的形象出现的。实际上，在她登上艾莫号的短短几天里，她已经把各种各样的家务都做了一遍。这显然不是因为她善于或者喜欢做家务，据我观察，她的动机来自于我夸奖了其他人形。 比如说，中午我刚刚夸奖了威玛西娜的厨艺，晚上就出现了贝丝蒂亲手准备的饭。 于是我不禁产生了一点玩心，是不是可以用这种方式“操控”贝丝蒂的行为？ 试一下好了。 “幼熙，上次你跳的舞真好看。” “嘿嘿，指挥官喜欢就好！” 果不其然，没过多久我就看到贝丝蒂在娱乐室里练习舞蹈。 怎么是街舞？ “米什缇，你靠在沙发上睡觉的样子真可爱。” “好欸……那我，多睡一会儿……” 再次路过这里的时候，贝丝蒂已经睡在了沙发的另一头。 “罗蕾莱，上次你送我的……” “呵呵，指挥官还惦记着我们的道具‘小游戏’啊。” “等等，我说的不是那件事！” “怎么了？是不喜欢吗？” “喜欢还是很喜欢的……” 我注意到贝丝蒂竖起了耳朵，不对，这好像偏离了我的预期…… 晚上，当我怀着惴惴不安的心回到房间时，我看到床上摆着一些不属于我的东西。 房门在我背后关紧，一双胳膊抱紧了我，一道声音在耳畔响起。 “Darling，相信我吧，我会做得比她更好！”

Record 7Oh no. When I woke up in the morning, I found myself securely tied to another body by countless ropes and silk ribbons. That body was Basti's, and her gaze was directed at me with mild interest. "What's the matter, Darling? Having a lil' trouble with something?" I remembered now. We'd gone a little overboard when we were fooling around last night. I was planning to make a swing out of rope, but I'd ended up messing around with Basti instead. We'd gotten more and more tangled up until we had ended up like this. Come to think of it, was this what Basti had been aiming for all along? "Commander, it's time for breakfast~" I heard Mayling's voice from my communicator, but there was no way I could leave the room in my current state. "I'm not hungry yet, Mayling, I'll pass for now." With those words, I put all my focus on the tangly mess in front of me. "Basti, could you undo the ropes?" "Hmm... Alright, let me give it a try~" Then, before my very eyes, I saw Basti tie a dead knot. "Stop! You're making things worse!" "Commander, it's lunchtime!" "I'll pass on lunch too, I'm working on something!" The morning had passed, but my problems hadn't decreased in the least. I realized that it was thanks to Basti secretly messing around. It would seem the first step to undoing the ropes would be learning to do knots. I held Basti down and tied her hands together. "Commander, surely you're not going to skip dinner too!!!" "Hang on a bit, just give me a little longer!" The last of the rope was in my hands, and I could finally free myself by ridding it. After regaining my freedom, I excitedly flung the door open, only to see Mayling standing there. "Commander, what were you—AIIEEEEEEEE—!!!" Mayling stared dumbfoundedly at a bound Basti from the doorway. I could sense precisely the wrong message being conveyed through their shared gazes. "It's aaaaaalll the Commander's fault~"糟了。 一早起来，我发现我的身体被无数绳子、丝带纠缠着，和另一具身体紧紧捆绑在一起。是贝丝蒂，她正饶有兴致地看着我。 “怎么了Darling，遇到麻烦了吗？” 我想起来了，昨天晚上我们玩得过火了一点。本来是想用绳子来编一张秋千，结果不知不觉就和贝丝蒂打闹在一起，绳子越缠越乱，最后弄成了这副样子。 现在一想，也许这才是贝丝蒂原本的目的？ “指挥官，要吃早饭了哦~” 通讯中传来美玲的呼唤。但是我现在这副样子，肯定是没法出去见人了。 “美玲，我肚子不饿，先不吃了。” 说完，我把精力集中在眼前的一团乱麻之中。 “贝丝蒂，你能把绳子解开吗？” “唔……好呀，你让我试试~” 然后我亲眼看着贝丝蒂在手里打了个死结。 “停！不要再让问题变得更严重了！” “指挥官，午饭时间到了！” “午饭我也不吃了，有事情在忙！” 一上午过去，我身上的麻烦看起来并没有减少。我发现了，是贝丝蒂一直在偷偷捣乱。 看起来，解开绳子的第一步是先学会打结。 我按住贝丝蒂，把她的双手绑在了一起。 “指挥官，晚饭总该吃了吧！！！” “等一下，再等一下！” 我终于理清了最后的头绪，从绳索中抽身而出。 重获自由的我兴奋地推开房门，就看到美玲正站在门口。 “你到底在忙什么……啊——！！！” 目瞪口呆的美玲和困在绳索中的贝丝蒂隔着门缝对视，她们的眼神中正在传递一个错误的事实。 “都是指挥官干的哦~”

Record 8"I'm sorry, Darling... I, I... I broke the precious gift you gave me..." Basti's eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. Her woefulness condensed upon it and dripped onto my heart. "There, there, it's alright." I knew just how much Basti cherished the gifts I gave. As I patted her head, I thought about how best to soothe her wounded heart. "Don't worry, I'll buy you a new one." When she heard this, Basti's weeping grew louder. "Every gift Darling gives me is irreplaceable. Even if there's a new one, it won't make up for losing the old one..." "Then what if I helped you fix it?" Basti shook her head in response. "There's no need for that... There's no going back even if you fix it..." I was struck with confusion. Just which of my presents had she broken? Wait, come to think of it, I hadn't given her any presents recently, had I? "I-I'll never be able to get such a precious gift again... Darling's smell, Darling's traces and presence, they're forever gone..." Basti was crying all this while, but the sight, rather than filling my heart with woe, began to fill it with doubt. "So... what exactly did you break?" Basti sniffled and glanced at me forlornly. "It was the toothbrush you gave me yesterday." "Wait a minute, you mean that old toothbrush?! I thought I told you to throw it away!" "How could I ever throw away something as wonderful as that? I need to collect anything and everything that you've used before, Darling~" "What value does an old toothbrush even have as a collector's item..." A thought sparked then, shocking me still; if she added it to her collection, then how exactly did she end up breaking it? I took one look into Basti's ardent eyes and fervently decided that I didn't want to know the answer.“对不起，Darling……我，我……我把你送给我的珍贵礼物给弄坏了……” 贝丝蒂的双眼好像蒙上了一层水雾，委屈凝结在上面，滴滴答答地落在我心上。 “没事，没事。” 我心里知道贝丝蒂有多么珍视我送的礼物。摸着她的脑袋，我思考着该如何抚平她受伤的心。 “放心吧，我会送你一个新的。” 听到这，贝丝蒂哭得更伤心了。 “Darling送我的每一个礼物都是独一无二的。就算以后有了新的，也没法弥补失去它的遗憾……” “那，我试试帮你修好？” 然而贝丝蒂依然摇头。 “不用……就算修好也回不去了……” 我有点搞不懂了，她弄坏的到底是哪一件礼物？ 话说回来，我最近好像并没有送她礼物啊？ “我，我再也得不到这么好的东西了……Darling的味道，Darling亲手参与的痕迹，全都回不来了……” 贝丝蒂一直在哭，但我的内心已经充满了疑问。 “所以……你弄坏了什么？” 贝丝蒂抽了抽鼻子，可怜巴巴地望向我。 “就是你昨天送我的牙刷啊。” “等一下，那把用旧的牙刷？！我只是叫你帮我丢掉啊！” “这么好的东西怎么能丢呢？Darling用过的东西，当然要留着收藏啦~” “一把旧牙刷能有什么收藏价值……” 话说回来，既然是留着收藏了，那牙刷又是怎么坏掉的呢？ 看着贝丝蒂炙热的眼睛，这个问题我没敢问出口。
