(A rare, peaceful night where the moon shines at just the right brightness... Perfect for some late-night office work. Sigh. Things would be even better if I didn't have any work to catch up on.)（难得今晚没有出什么乱子，月光也恰到好处的透亮，正适合深夜办公……唉如果不用办公就更好了。）

(The door to the ops room opens as these thoughts swirl in my mind.)（正这么想着，指挥室的门打开了。）

BelkaOh, you really are still working at this hour, Commander.喔，指挥官果然还在工作呀。

CommanderBelka? What's up?是比悠卡啊，怎么了？

BelkaI just wanted to show you a little bit of concern!只是想来关心一下指挥官啦！

BelkaWhat are you busying yourself with, Commander?指挥官在忙什么呢？

CommanderNot much, I'm just organizing some documents.也没什么，只是在整理文件罢了……

Belka(Belka walks up to me with curiosity shining in her eyes. She sees nearly ten windows open on my monitor, and she opens her eyes wide in an exaggerated manner.)（比悠卡好奇地凑上前来，看着屏幕上打开的大大小小近十个窗口，夸张地瞪大了眼睛。）

BelkaWoah, do you read this many documents on a daily basis?呜哇，指挥官每天都要看这么多文件吗？

BelkaYou're almost catching up to us Dolls in processing speed. That's amazing!这快赶上我们人形的处理速度了吧？好厉害！

(She places her hands on my shoulders to give me a massage as she speaks. I go with her flow and move my stiff neck around a little, allowing myself to relax and loosen up a bit.)（她说着，一边伸出手在我肩膀上揉了两下，我顺势扭了扭僵硬的脖子，感觉似乎轻松了些。）

CommanderIt's not that big of a deal. I'm just used to it.也没什么，熟能生巧罢了。

BelkaIt's quite an impressive feat to remember where all those documents are supposed to go! I'd definitely get something wrong.这么多文件，指挥官竟然全都记得位置，也好厉害！要是我肯定会弄错耶。

BelkaI might accidentally open the wrong document and try to close the window, only to get lost in the sea of windows, or get confused at all the long directories—比如不小心打开错了文件想关掉，然后就迷失在层层叠叠的窗口里，或者是被各种路径搞得团团转什么的——

CommanderWell, it's not like I remember everything, so I do make mistakes once in a while.也不是全都记得，偶尔也会搞混。

BelkaOh no! What if our Commander got so tired that he accidentally clicked on a link that he shouldn't be clicking on and saw something he shouldn't be looking at? What should we do then?哎呀，要是指挥官累得神志不清了，不小心打开了什么不该打开的地址，看到了什么不该看到的东西，那可怎么办呀？

(Her hands move up towards my temples, rubbing them in circles. I close my eyes.)（她的手逐渐往上，摸到了我的太阳穴，开始打转轻揉。我闭上眼睛。）

CommanderGood point. Speaking of which, it's about time that I cleaned up the Elmo's cloud... Gotta find some time to go in and clean up all the files...是啊，这么说是该清理一下艾莫云了……该找个时间把所有文件都清理一遍才行……

CommanderOuch... My headache is acting up again...嘶……怎么感觉头又痛起来了……

BelkaAlright! Time for all the headache-inducing things to be cleared away!嗯嗯，把让指挥官头疼的东西都清理干净！

BelkaBe careful, Commander! Don't go deleting the things that you shouldn't delete...不过指挥官要小心哦，别把不该清理的东西清掉了呢……

BelkaOh, right... This applies especially to the stuff in the shared drive! Make sure that you don't touch it without any good reason!对了对了，尤其是——公共盘里的东西，指挥官一定一定、不要随便乱动！

CommanderThe shared drive? Why?公共盘？为什么？

BelkaAw, that's something that you don't have to concern yourself with, Commander! There's nothing—absolutely nothing special in it whatsoever!哎呀，总之指挥官不用管就对啦，那里绝对绝对——没有什么特别的东西哦！

(She lets go, retreating a few steps towards the door. I reluctantly open my eyes.)（她松开了手，往门口退了几步。我有点不情愿地睁开了眼。）

BelkaWoah— Is it this late already? Time for me to go back to my dorm. Don't stay up too late, Commander!哇——都这个点了，我该回休息室了，指挥官也早点休息呀！

Commander(Sigh) ...Okay.唉……好。

(She walks out the door... Before turning around and using her hands to stop the automatic doors from fully closing. A serious expression is worn on her face.)（她走出门外，又立刻转身，扒住即将关闭的指挥室闸门，一脸堆出来的严肃。）

BelkaRemember, Commander. The shared drive—no touching!记住哦指挥官，公共盘——不要碰！

(She lets go of the door upon finishing that utterance.)（说完她松开了手。）

(Through the narrow gap, I caught a glimpse of a smile flashing across her face for a split second before the doors fully closed.)（闸门彻底合上之前，透过狭窄的缝隙，我窥见了她脸上一闪而过的笑。）

(...The shared drive, huh.)（……公共盘是吧？）

(I found it in the Elmo's cloud right away.)（我立刻在艾莫云上找到了这个压缩盘。）

(The strange thing is, a folder named "Marksmanship Refinement" was sitting around in the drive, looking different from the other folders labeled with the names of the people to whom they belong.)（奇怪的是，盘里除了几个标明了所属人名字的文件夹外，还有一个名为“射击技术精炼”的文件夹，和别的文件夹看起来不太一样。）

(I clicked into it and a folder named "Current-Gen Motorbike Catalogue" popped up on the interface... So this isn't some marksmanship training course at all.)（点进去，页面上出现了另一个名为“当代重机车图鉴”的文件夹……不是射击教程吗？）

(I keep on clicking through the folders that present themselves one after another like layers of a matryoshka doll, with seemingly no end to it...)（我继续点击屏幕，一个又一个文件夹跳出来，像套娃一样层层叠叠，永无止境……）

(But at last, an encrypted file presents itself before my eyes.)（直到最后，一个加密的文件出现在我眼前。）

CommanderHmm? Observation diary?嗯？观察日记？

(I click on it, prompting a window to pop up and ask me for the password... The hint is "The person I care about the most".)（我点开，一个提示框弹出来，要求我输入密码……提示是“最在意的人”。）

(I snicker to myself and enter "Klukai"... Wait, it's wrong?!)（我冷笑一声，输入“可露凯”——密码错误？！）

(Wait a minute. If she did all that just to bait me into seeing this, then could it be...)（等等，如果她这么做只是为了让我看到的话，那会不会……）

(I do something I didn't expect myself to do and enter my own name as the password.)（鬼使神差地，我输入了我自己的名字。）

(The file opens—)（文件打开了——）

Observation Logs█-█-207█ Day█ 08:16 Those damned Varjagers are back again, but the Commander's brilliant commanding abilities sent them packing in a few short moments! (Heheh, I performed really well this time, so I bet he definitely took notice of it! I wonder when he'll come over and praise me.)207█年█月█日 Day█ 08:16： 讨厌的瓦良格帮又来了，但是指挥官指挥英明，很快就把他们赶跑啦！ （嘿嘿，我这次的表现很优秀，绝对让指挥官眼前一亮了！他什么时候会来夸我呢？）

Observation Logs12:47 I think the Commander is communicating with an underground broker or something? I can't make out what they're talking about... "Sell-offs"... "Installments"... I don't really understand, but the Commander seems to be frowning all over it. He must be dealing with some important business! (I should look for an opportunity to ask Big Sis what all that meant!)12:47： 指挥官好像在跟暗商联络？听不清楚在说什么……“抛售”……“分期”……听不懂诶，但指挥官眉头紧皱，肯定是在办大事！ （找个机会去问问姐姐这些都是什么意思吧！）

Observation Logs17:01 The Commander spent two hours verifying the Elmo's expenses. I counted 56 sighs and him holding his forehead 38 times. (This doesn't look good. Maybe I should help him out a little by giving him some of my mission fees?)17:01： 指挥官核对了两个小时的基地车开支，共计叹气56次，扶额38次。 （看起来不太妙诶，用任务报酬接济一下指挥官？）

Observation Logs23:22: Uwah, the Commander's still working... He seems to be chewing on raw coffee beans too. (Does that actually work?) ...23:22： 呜哇，指挥官竟然还在工作……好像还在生嚼咖啡豆。 （真的有用吗？） ……

(I couldn't help but chuckle at Belka's ramblings. I never realized I was being observed in such meticulous detail.)（比悠卡的碎碎念让我不禁笑了出来。我还从来不知道，自己竟然被这样事无巨细地观察着。）

(But what was all this for?)（不过这是为什么呢？）

(I call out to Belka when she "just so happened" to pass by the ops room door the next day.)（第二天，当比悠卡再次“不经意”晃过指挥室门前时，我叫住了她。）

BelkaAw, why didn't you listen to me, Commander? I told you not to touch the stuff in the shared drive, right?~哎，指挥官怎么不听我的话呀？明明说了不要去乱动公共盘的吧~

BelkaIt's not good to intrude on someone's privacy!偷看别人的隐私可不好哦！

CommanderOh, come on. What did you do all that for anyway?少来。所以你这么做的原因是？

Belka(Pout) It's just that I spent too much time away from you, so I thought that if I observed you like that, I'd get a new understanding of you again!呜呜呜，我只是离开指挥官太久了，想着这样观察，就能重新了解一下指挥官了嘛！

CommanderOh? So what are the results of your observation?哦？那观察的结果是？

BelkaReporting! Through meticulous observation, I conclude that—报告！经过细致的观察，我得出的结论是——

BelkaThe Commander directs combat operations in the day and stays up late to work at night! Nothing much has changed since his days at Griffin!指挥官日常指挥作战、熬夜工作，和之前在格里芬的时候也大差不差嘛！

CommanderHah...哈……

BelkaAlthough... Now you have to carve out a career in the contamination zones. Things are really not easy for you!不过……比起过去，现在的指挥官要在污染区打拼，真的很不容易呀！

BelkaGood thing I'm back by your side! You can rely on me all you like, Commander!好在我已经回到指挥官身边了！指挥官可以尽情依靠我哦！

BelkaI'll keep on recording my observations and help you solve every problem you come across!我会坚持记录，帮指挥官解决一切困难的！

CommanderAbout the observation, I—观察我这件事，我看就——

BelkaBy the way! Don't tell anyone about this... Especially not Big Sis! I'm being serious this time, okay?啊对了！指挥官不要把这件事情告诉其他人哦……尤其是姐姐！这次是认真的！

BelkaIf she gets a wind of this, she... She's going to scold me and say that I'm causing trouble for you again...要是被姐姐知道了，她、她又要说我给指挥官添麻烦了……

BelkaYou're a kind person, so you'll keep this a secret, right?指挥官心地善良，一定不会说的吧？

(Belka grabs my hand and swings it around, blinking at me pleadingly with an expecting sparkle in her eyes.)（她抓起我的手晃来晃去，眼睛一眨一眨，闪烁着期待的光芒。）

(I let out a sigh.)（我叹了口气。）

CommanderAlright. As long as you—好吧，只要你——

BelkaYay! I knew you were the best! Thanks, Commander!哇！我就知道指挥官最好啦！谢谢指挥官！

(She violently shakes my hand around a few times before bouncing out the room happily.)（她抓着我的手猛地摇晃了几下，开心地蹦跳着离开了。）

(My unfinished sentence and my hand remain suspended in the air. I raise it to scratch my neck while shaking my head in resignation.)（我的手和未说完的话都停滞在半空中，最后我只能抬起手来摸了摸脖子，无奈地摇了摇头。 ）

(I'm really no match for her... She always manages to trick me into following what she says, without me even realizing it before it's too late.)（真是没办法……总是不知不觉就顺着她的话走了。）

(But this is kind of fun, isn't it?)（不过，这也不失为一种乐趣，不是吗？）

(The sharp cracks of gunfire stop before I even reach the training grounds. Looks like someone has finished with their training for the time being.)（“砰砰”的枪声在我走近训练场之前就停下了，看来是谁的训练暂告了一段落。）

(I walk towards the door and look into the glass window. I spot Belka heading towards the edge of the training grounds.)（我走到门外，隔着玻璃窗看见比悠卡正走向场边。）

(Upon spotting me, Belka puts her gun aside before excitedly rushing towards the door to open it.)（看到我，比悠卡立刻把枪放到了一边，兴冲冲跑来开了门。）

BelkaCommander, you came just at the right time!指挥官，你正好来啦！

BelkaCome have a look at my new training scores! I've improved again!快来看看我刚刚训练的成绩，我又进步了呢！

(She drags me to the front of the screen, where I see a precise group of bullet holes placed inside the ten-ring of the digital practice target.)（我被她拉着走到屏幕前，看着虚拟靶子的十环上密集的弹孔。）

CommanderNot bad. You're impressive as always, Belka.确实不错，比悠卡还是一如既往的强啊。

CommanderKeep up the good work.继续加油吧。

(I pat her head as a form of encouragement and decide to leave just like that. But Belka grabs my hand right away after realizing what I was about to do.)（我鼓励地拍拍她的头，打算就这样离开。但比悠卡见状立刻拽住了我的手。）

BelkaEh? Are you leaving just like that, Commander?哎，只是这样吗？指挥官这就要走了吗？

CommanderYou need some rest, right? I shouldn't bother you.你应该要休息吧？我就不打扰你了。

BelkaYou're not bothering me at all! Is there something urgent you need to take care of, Commander?怎么会打扰呢？指挥官有事要急着去忙吗？

CommanderTo be honest, not really...这倒也没有……

BelkaThen come and praise me a little more!那指挥官再多夸我一点嘛！

BelkaOr could it be that you've already seen many others obtain this score and you're no longer surprised by it?还是说，这个训练成绩，指挥官在别人那里已经见得太多了，所以已经不值得让指挥官惊讶了？

BelkaCould it be that the praise just now was simply out of politeness?该不会刚才的夸奖，指挥官也只是说说而已吧？

CommanderThat's not it. It's just that...没有的事， 我只是……

BelkaI knew it! You have so many excellent Dolls around you; what I do is no longer enough to impress you, Commander!果然，我就知道！指挥官身边的优秀人形太多了，这些都不够指挥官看的了！

BelkaAnd I left you for such a long time too... You must have already... Already...更别提我还离开了指挥官这么久……指挥官心里早就——早就——

(She just pouts in grievance without another word.)（她没有继续说下去，只是委屈地撇着嘴。）

CommanderI didn't mean any of that. It's just that you've always been excellent, so I feel there's no need to repeat things constantly...我不是这个意思。只是你一直都很优秀，所以我觉得不必多说罢了……

CommanderOkay. So how do I convince you that my praise is not perfunctory?好吧，要怎么做你才肯相信我不是在敷衍你？

Belka...How about we play a game?那——那我们来玩个游戏吧！

(Her eyes light up right away, as if her previous state of emotion never existed.)（她的眼睛立刻亮起来，像是之前的委屈从未存在过似的。）

BelkaRuchey taught me about this! She said that this is the quickest way to boost your relationship with someone else!这是乌琪教我的哦，说是可以超——快速增进感情！

BelkaWe'll point out five virtues and five flaws of our partner to demonstrate how well we understand each other! How's that?我们来互相说出对方的五个优缺点，来证明对彼此的了解程度吧！指挥官觉得怎么样？

BelkaThe faster you say it, the more genuine it is!说得越快，越能证明对对方心意哦！

BelkaAlso—还有——

(Belka takes my hand and puts it on her chest, then puts her hand on mine.)（她抓起我的手放到她胸口上，再把她的手放在我的胸前。）

BelkaWe have to feel our partner's heartbeats while we do the activity to ensure that we're not lying~说的时候，得感受对方的心跳，保证不会撒谎哦。

CommanderBut Dolls don't have heartbeats.但人形没有心跳吧？

BelkaAh, well, just feel my frame's temperature in place of that! It'll be the same!哎呀，指挥官就当感受我的机体温度好啦，一样的！

BelkaCan I assume that you're in agreement, Commander?那我就当指挥官同意咯？

CommanderYeah. You can start first.嗯。你先来吧。

BelkaHeheh. You're quite the sharp one, Commander. Are you going to use my answers as references for yours?哼哼，指挥官很上道啊，是想听我的答案当参考？

BelkaBut that's okay! I'm fine with letting you off a bit just because it's you!不过没关系！既然是指挥官的话，我宽容一点也是可以的啦！

BelkaI'll start with your virtues then—那先来说说指挥官的优点——

BelkaUm... You're a good talker and haggler, you possess extensive combat experience, you have knowledge in all sorts of things, you're responsible and reliable at work, and you never get angry at me. You're willing to chat with me even while you're working in the middle of the night—唔……说话好听、砍价一流、作战经验丰富、懂得各种常识、工作负责靠谱、从来不对我生气、就算工作到深夜也会陪我聊天——

(I feel the rising temperature creeping into my hand, and wave my other hand at her.)（我感觉手上传来的温度越来越高，赶紧朝她挥挥手。）

CommanderHold it! Do those... Even count as virtues? And you've gone past five, haven't you?停停停，这些……也算优点吗？好像不止五个了吧？

BelkaAw, really? Time for the flaws then.哎，是这样吗？那就轮到缺点啦。

BelkaUh... Um... You don't know how to take care of yourself and keep staying up late at night, I guess? Hmm... You're dull with matters of the heart, and don't get things that are more subtle?唔……嗯……不懂得爱惜自己的身体总是熬夜？唔……很迟钝，听不懂小心思？

CommanderSubtle...?什么小心思……

BelkaErm... Agh, it's too hard to think of more! Let's... Skip it for now!唔……哎呀……太难想了！先、先跳过！

BelkaYour turn!指挥官来！

(She buries her head into my chest without warning, causing me to stumble backwards.)（她突然凑上前，把头埋进我的胸口里，动作带得我往后倒了一步。）

CommanderWhat are you—你这是——

BelkaWell, I didn't manage to detect any changes in your heart rate by feeling it through your clothing! So I wanted to get closer and make sure I can hear it clearly!哎呀，我刚刚根本没感觉到指挥官的心跳有变化，一定是隔着衣服摸不出来！我要凑近点听清楚啦！

CommanderUm... Okay then.呃……也行吧。

CommanderTo start with your virtues... You're someone who livens up the room with how energetic you are... Your marksmanship—or your combat effectiveness—is also rather good... And, um... You're quite willing to listen?先说你的优点的话……挺有干劲的，是活跃气氛的好手……枪法——应该说作战效能也不错……唔……很听话？

(I do my best to search for the right words within my mind, but the gradually rising temperature of her frame makes focusing on the task increasingly difficult.)（我努力在脑海中搜索着合适的字眼，但怀里逐渐升高的机体体温，让我越来越难以集中注意力。）

(I clear my throat and look down towards Belka. She has her ear pressed to my chest with her eyes closed, and a bright smile adorns her face.)（我清了清嗓子，低头看向比悠卡。她闭着眼侧耳靠在我胸前，脸上挂着明晃晃的笑意。）

(What a Doll. She'll burn a hole through me if I keep on praising her.)（这家伙，再这么让她得意下去，她该变得烫手了。）

CommanderI'll skip your virtues for now. Let's talk about your flaws first.优点先跳过，说说缺点好了。

BelkaHuh? Why are you like this, Commander?哎？指挥官怎么这样！

CommanderJust doing what you did, Belka. What goes around comes around, right?你刚刚不是也跳过了吗，礼尚往来。

CommanderWell, as for your flaws—唔，缺点的话——

CommanderYou excel in combat, but you lack some common sense and knowledge needed for daily living. You nearly blew up the kitchen again last month...虽然作战的时候很强，但是平常生活的常识有点匮乏，上个月差点又把厨房炸了……

CommanderAnd... You're too clingy—还有就是，太粘人了——

BelkaHow's that a flaw?!这哪里是缺点了嘛！

(Her temperature drops instantly, just as expected.)（果不其然，怀里的机体立刻温度降了下去。）

(I mentally chuckle to myself and continue blasting off the next few utterances.)（我暗暗笑了笑，继续飞快地数下去。）

Commander—You're not used to managing your time, you get rather scatterbrained during your lively antics, and you're always trying to do something clever in exchange for praise...——不擅长安排自己的时间，太活泼了有时候有点脱线，老想耍小聪明得到夸奖……

CommanderThat's five, right?五个了，对吧？

Belka(Sobs) Commander! You do this on purpose, didn't you?呜呜呜，指挥官是故意的吧！

CommanderHuh? On purpose?嗯？什么故意？

BelkaHeheh, now I know, Commander! Another flaw of yours is that—You still don't know me well enough!哼哼，我现在知道了，指挥官还有一个缺点——就是不够了解我！

BelkaThere's so much I could help you with, and I have lots of things going for me, yet you only notice the things that I'm bad at!明明我有那么多可以帮到指挥官的地方，有那么多优点，结果指挥官只看到我不好的地方嘛！

BelkaSo that's why you praised me in such an offhand manner and never had any change in heart rate when I was listing off your virtues and flaws...怪不得刚刚指挥官夸我的时候那么随意，我在说优缺点的时候指挥官的心跳也毫无变化……

BelkaLooks like I don't have a place in your heart after all...看来，指挥官根本没有把我放在心上嘛……

CommanderYou've got it wrong... I am serious about everything I said, really.不是这样的……我不是在敷衍你，真的。

BelkaWell... It's also kind of my fault that you've become like this, I guess.不过……指挥官会这样，和我也有关系吧？

BelkaWe finally reunited with each other after such a long time, yet I kept leaving the Elmo to take part in missions, so you had no time to get to know me better...虽然过了这么久重新见到了指挥官，可我总是离开基地车去执行任务，都没有机会让指挥官好好了解我……

BelkaLooks like I'll have to stick with you more on a daily basis! I won't mind even if you say I'm too clingy!看样子，我要找机会多待在指挥官身边了！就算指挥官觉得我太粘人了，也不要紧！

BelkaThere will definitely be a change in your heartbeat once you understand and think about me more!等指挥官开始留意我了，开始了解我了，指挥官的心跳肯定也会不一样的！

BelkaIsn't that right, Commander? You'll pay more attention to me, won't you?对吧，指挥官？指挥官会多关注一下我的吧？

(Belka lifts her head and rests her chin on my chest. She blinks at me. I smile and pat her head.)（她抬起头，下巴靠在我胸前，眨巴着眼睛看着我。我笑笑，摸摸她的头。）

CommanderAlright then. I promise.好，我答应你。

("A little game to quickly boost your relationship with someone"... Hmm, it is indeed what it says on the tin.)（“超快速增进情感的小游戏”……嗯，确实没说错。）

(Belka is set to return to the Elmo today after a long-term mission with 404.)（今天是比悠卡结束404小队的长期任务，回到基地车的日子。）

(I happen to be free at the moment, so I go to the deck to welcome her back.)（我恰好有空，便到甲板上去迎接她。）

(The hum of the UAV draws near. Belka lets go of her grip and leaps off midair, then springs right into my embrace.)（无人机的轰鸣由远及近，比悠卡松手从半空跃下，奔跑着扑进我的怀中。）

BelkaWah! Commander—哇！指挥官——

BelkaDid you come here just to welcome me back?指挥官是专门来迎接我的吗？

CommanderYep. I happened to be free.嗯，刚好有空就来了。

CommanderDid the mission go well?任务完成得还顺利吗？

BelkaUuuuu, not at all! ELIDs kept chasing and the annoying Varjagers kept on ambushing us!呜呜呜，一点都不顺利！路上被生骸追着跑，还有讨厌的瓦良格帮在搞伏击！

BelkaBelka's mission becomes su~per difficult without you around!没有指挥官在，比悠卡的任务完成得超——辛苦的！

BelkaThat's why Belka rushed back to see you right away after the end of the mission! But, but I was in too much of a rush, and may have encountered a minor accident and damaged my frame a little on the way...所以任务一结束，比悠卡就马上赶回来见指挥官了！可是、可是太急了，路上出了点小事故，素体好像有点损伤……

(She rubs her knee as tears well up in her eyes.)（她摸摸自己的膝盖处，眼睛里的泪水将落未落。）

CommanderDamage? Where? Go find Mayling and have it checked right away.受损？哪里？快去找美玲看看。

MaylingChecks are done!检查完毕！

MaylingNothing serious. Just a slightly misaligned mechanical joint in the knee that I've readjusted, so there's nothing to worry now!没什么大问题，只是膝盖的机械关节有轻微错位，已经调整回来了，不用担心啦。

BelkaEh? Was it just that? Well, I'm completely fine with a minor injury if it helped me see the Commander quickly again!哎，只是这样而已吗？不过为了快点见到指挥官，就算受点伤也没关系啦！

(I stare at the Doll now wearing a cheerful expression on her face, a far cry from her clinging to me in order to even walk before the repair. I shake my head helplessly.)（我看着比悠卡笑嘻嘻的样子，和刚才紧紧靠在我身上才能行走的模样判若两人，无奈地摇摇头。）

(It seems that I've begun to spend more time with Belka alone after this little episode.)（不过，这样和比悠卡独处的时间，在这次小插曲之后，似乎微妙地变多了起来。）

BelkaDid you just finish attending a meeting, Commander? Are you tired? I've made some snacks, wanna follow me and have a taste?指挥官刚刚开完会吗？累不累呀？我准备了一点小点心，指挥官要不要跟我来尝尝？

CommanderHmm? Sure.嗯？好。

BelkaCommander! Look! Look! Guess who just topped the training ground's score charts for today? It's~ Me!指挥官快来看！今天的训练场最佳成绩猜猜是谁创造的？是·我·哦！

BelkaI'm pretty impressive, aren't I? Feel free to rely on me more in the coming future!我很能干吧？指挥官以后多多依赖我一点吧！

CommanderAh... Yeah. Great work, Belka.啊……嗯，比悠卡很棒呢。

BelkaCommander! It's getting really late! Why are you still working?~ How about taking a break to drink some water?~ (Sigh) All this work must be pretty harsh on you—指挥官！都好晚好晚啦，指挥官怎么还在处理工作呀~喝点水休息一下好不好？唉，指挥官实在是太辛苦了——

CommanderIt's already such a late hour. How come you're still up?都这个点了，比悠卡还没睡？

BelkaHeheh, I just wanted to keep you company!嘿嘿，因为我想陪着指挥官嘛！

BelkaEveryone else spends tons of time aboard the Elmo with you... I can't do that, so I have to make good use of every chance I can get!其他人有那么多时间待在基地车上、和指挥官待在一起……我又不行，当然只有把握好每次机会咯！

(Her matter-of-fact tone makes me chuckle.)（她理所当然的口气把我逗笑了。）

(It's true that she doesn't spend much time aboard the Elmo when compared to the others, so her actions do have a good rationale behind them.)（的确，她在艾莫号的时间不如其他人多，这么做也情有可原。）

(Besides... Burning the midnight oil doesn't feel so tiring and lonesome when there's someone keeping you company all the time.)（再者……能有人随时在工作的间隙陪着，似乎熬夜也显得不那么劳累和孤独了。）

(That was what I was thinking, at least until I saw Belka milling about outside the conference room while I was in a meeting with Klukai...)（我原本是这么想当然的，直到有一天，可露凯和我开会，看见比悠卡在会议室外晃悠……）

KlukaiTsk. And here I was wondering why that troublemaker tends to disappear while she's not on a mission. So she's glued to you.啧。这家伙除了任务之外就见不到人影，原来是粘在你身上了。

KlukaiRein her in a little, Commander. Don't let her get too carried away.指挥官，收敛点，别让她太得寸进尺了。

(Really? Is Belka... Always clinging to me?)（是这样吗？比悠卡……总是粘着我？）

(I recall Belka's behavior of late. I realize that... I haven't been able to interact much with anyone else outside of necessary work communications.)（我回想着近来比悠卡的行动。似乎……在必要的工作交流之外，除了比悠卡，我确实很少再见到其他人了。）

(Is it because Belka has taken up all my time?)（是因为我的时间都被比悠卡填满了吗？）

(The meeting ends, and Klukai leaves the conference room. Belka waits for her to move further away before zipping into the room, positioning herself next to me.)（会议结束，可露凯离开了会议室。等她走远后，比悠卡才从门外闪了进来，摸到我身边。）

BelkaCommander! What are you going to do next? Where are you going? Should I go with you?指挥官！你等下还有事吗？要去哪里呀？我陪你去吧？

CommanderI don't have anything planned at this time.暂时没事。

CommanderBelka, is it really okay for you to always cling to me? Won't this affect your work with 404?不过比悠卡，你总是待在我身边，真的没关系吗？这会不会影响404的任务？

BelkaHuh? No way! I've settled all my work long ago! Did you ask because Big Sis said something to you, Commander?哎？不会啦，任务我早都处理好了！指挥官突然问起，是姐姐跟指挥官说什么了吗？

BelkaOr... Have I started to annoy you, Commander?还是说……指挥官，开始讨厌我了？

(She immediately starts tugging at the hem of my clothes in a delicate manner, looking as if she was treated unfairly.)（她立刻——小心翼翼地扯起我的衣角，摆出一副委屈的样子。）

CommanderAnnoy me? I'm not sure of that... For starters, could you tell me why you're doing all this?讨厌吗？这个我也拿不准……不如先说说你为什么要这么做？

BelkaHuh? So you really think that I'm annoying? No, no...哎？指挥官真的这么觉得？不行不行！

BelkaBut I... I really want to be with you... What should I do...可是我、我又想和指挥官待在一起，怎么办嘛……

BelkaIf I don't make more appearances while I'm aboard the Elmo, you'd definitely forget all about me once I go away on a long-term mission...如果不趁着在基地车的时候多出现，到时候外出执行任务那么久，指挥官肯定要把我忘掉了……

BelkaThe last time I went on a mission, you didn't call me once or even send me a single greeting message! I was waiting for you to do something the entire time! (Sobs)上次出任务，我等了那么久，可是指挥官、一次通讯都没给我打过，连个问候短信都没有！呜呜呜……

(Her tears are falling for real now, leaving heart-wrenching wet stains on my clothing.)（这回她的眼泪真的落了下来，在我的衣角上洇出一片令人心疼的泪渍。）

(I smile and shake my head, gently wiping a tear away from her face using my finger.)（我笑着摇摇头，用手指轻轻抹开她的一滴眼泪。）

CommanderDo I seem that untrustworthy to you?我在你心里就这么不值得信任吗？

CommanderIf I really found you annoying, I wouldn't be here with you, nor let you wipe away your tears with my clothes.如果讨厌你，现在我就不会在这里，让你用我的衣服擦眼泪了。

BelkaHuh? Eh?哎？哎？

(Belka lifts her head in a daze, her eyes sparkling with surprise and disbelief.)（她懵懵地抬起头，眼里闪烁着难以置信和惊喜。）

CommanderI'm more than honored to receive this much attention from you. How could I possibly feel annoyed?能得到你的重视，我觉得荣幸还来不及，又怎么会觉得讨厌呢？

CommanderAs for what happened on your last mission, I was indeed neglectful towards your feelings. I am very sorry; I was somewhat busy back then and forgot about it. That's why I went to pick you up from the deck on your return as compensation once it hit me again.至于上次出任务的事情，确实是我忽略了你的感受，抱歉。我那时候有点忙，没想起来，所以这之后想起来，不就来接你回艾莫号，当做补偿了嘛。

BelkaUuuuu, that's not nearly enough to compensate me!呜呜呜，只是这样，还不够！

BelkaSo you knew how I felt, yet you still.. Still messed around with me just now! Commander, you meanie!指挥官明知道我的心意，刚才还、还故意捉弄我！指挥官坏！

CommanderOkay, okay, I surrender. I promise to pay more attention to you while you're away from now on.好好好，我答应你，以后你外出的时候，我会多关心你的。

CommanderYou can stick with me for as long as you like on our usual days, as long as you don't interfere with work.平时的话，只要别影响到工作，你想待在我身边多久都可以。

CommanderWith that as a promise, you don't have to cry or worry about this anymore, okay?所以不要哭了，也不用再担心了，好吗？

BelkaReally? Will you keep your promise?真的吗？指挥官会说话算话吗？

BelkaYou're not just saying the same thing to everyone, right?该不会指挥官对别人也是这样的吧？

(Belka hooks her arm around my neck, staring at me with a pout... Although the joy in her eyes have already betrayed her true feelings.)（比悠卡伸手勾住了我的脖子，撇着嘴盯我，但她眼里亮着的笑意出卖了她。）

(I nodded helplessly.)（我无奈地点点头。）

BelkaYay~!好耶——！

(She throws herself into my embrace after a bright cheer.)（她欢呼一声，猛地扎进我怀里。）

BelkaI knew that you're the best, Commander!就知道指挥官最好啦！

Exclusive Hits 4 独家心计4

(I stand in front of the window, looking towards the outskirts of the nearby satellite city. Sitting on the windowsill is a ceramic doll figure that Belka gave me, entering my view every now and then.)（我站在舷窗前，看着不远处卫星城的边缘。窗台上，比悠卡送给我的陶瓷娃娃摆件总是在不经意间跳入视线。）

BelkaWhen I saw how serious and proper this doll's expression was, it reminded me of you right away! That's why I bought it for you as a gift!看到这个娃娃一本正经的脸，我一下子就想到指挥官了！所以就买来送给你啦！

BelkaBe reminded of me when you see it every now and then, okay?指挥官看到它，也要想起我哦！

(Belka tends to bring me a number of strange little items as gifts every time she goes out on long-term missions.)（每次比悠卡出任务回来，都会给我带一些稀奇古怪的小礼物。）

(A squirrel badge, stones the color of my eyes, hair ties that won't come off no matter how hard you swing your hair around... gradually start occupying a corner of the ops room.)（松鼠徽章、像我眼睛颜色的小矿石、扎上怎么甩都不会掉的发圈……逐渐在指挥室占据一隅。）

(It's not nice to only receive gifts and not give anything back, but what should I give her?)（总是收礼，不回一回礼也不好。但是送她什么呢？）

(The Elmo happened to arrive in the region near the satellite city she was recently operating in...)（正巧她最近刚在绿区执行完任务，艾莫号也恰巧来到了她所在的卫星城附近……）

(The surprise element would be lost if I asked her directly. What if I... walked through the markets of the satellite city with her, and see if something catches her eye?（直接问她想要什么就少了点惊喜，不如……和她在卫星城的集市逛逛，看看她对什么东西感兴趣？）

BelkaWow! Didn't expect to see you here, Commander! Did you come to pick me up?哇，指挥官怎么来啦！是来专门接我的吗？

(She's practically bouncing around next to me, obviously in joy at my sudden appearance.)（她在我身边蹦蹦跳跳，显然为我的突然出现而感到惊喜。）

(I can't help but want to play a prank on her.)（我忍不住想要捉弄一下她。）

CommanderAh, well... I wanted to buy a gift for someone really important to me, so I came over to have a look.啊，其实是……想给一个很重要的人买礼物，所以我过来看看。

BelkaSomeone important? Is it not for me?很重要的人？不是为了我吗？

BelkaUuuu... Dammit. To get such attention and a gift from the Commander... Who's the lucky one...?呜……可恶，竟然能被指挥官挂念，还收到指挥官的礼物，究竟是谁这么幸运啊……

CommanderIt's precisely because it's for someone important that I came to ask for your suggestions.就是因为是重要的人，所以才要来征求你的意见。

CommanderYou give me gifts quite often, so I trust your taste for such things. I believe you to be my best consultant for this.比悠卡经常送我礼物，挑礼物的眼光想必不会差，找你做参谋肯定没错。

BelkaHuh? Um, tha-that's right, of course! Heheh~哎？那、那是当然啦！嘿嘿~

BelkaStill, he never once gave me a gift for all the gifts that I've given him... Ugh, who could his target even be...?不过我送了指挥官这么多礼物，指挥官还一次都没有送过给我呢……可恶，究竟是谁……

(We spent some time wandering around the market, but Belka seems to be kind of distracted, simply pouting by my side without much interest in any of the offerings around.)（我们在集市里东逛西逛，可比悠卡看起来有些心不在焉，只是嘟着嘴跟在我身边，并没有对什么货品表现出兴趣。）

(It'll be all for nothing if I don't make a move... I won't let that happen.)（这样下去要无功而返了……不行。）

CommanderBelka, what kind of item should I buy as a gift? What do you think?比悠卡，你觉得我买什么样的礼物送人比较好？

BelkaWhat do I think? I think—我觉得吗？我觉得呀——

BelkaWe live in a rough world right now and the Elmo's expenses are a little high, so it's probably best if... you don't get anything too expensive~现在的世道不太平，艾莫号的开销也有点大，指挥官最好——还是别买贵重的礼物为好哦~

BelkaCheap and inconspicuous, better yet if it's something you can hide easily in a cabinet~便宜一点、不显眼一点、最好能普通地收进柜子里就好啦~

(This doesn't seem to be a normal gift suggestion.)（这听起来怎么也不像是正经送礼的建议。）

(I look at Belka. She's still pouting with an unhappy expression.)（我瞟了她一眼，她撇着嘴，心情不太好的样子。）

(Hmm... I can practically smell the sourness in the air.)（嗯……空气里好像飘起了酸酸的味道？）

(I stop before a stall and casually pick up an exquisitely patterned silver-plated brooch.)（我在一个小摊前站定，随手拿起一个花纹精致的镀银胸针。）

CommanderI see. Then what do you think about this?这样啊，那你觉得这个送人怎么样？

CommanderSmall, inexpensive, and it seems to be... In a style considered trendy in the current year?小巧，也不贵，看起来……好像是今年流行的款式？

BelkaTrendy? No way!流行？那不行那不行！

Belka...Uh, popular trends are like... Well, they come and go in an instant, so it's better to pick something old and vintage. Right, something classic~潮流什么的，一下子就过去了！最好是挑那些古旧的、陈年的东西，才比较经典啦~

CommanderHmm. Inexpensive, inconspicuous, vintage... What else?嗯，便宜、不显眼、古旧……还有吗？

BelkaUm, as for the color, black, white and gray would be the most classic~唔，颜色嘛，黑白灰最经典啦~

BelkaOh, by the way! Your recipient might not like it if you make your gift too special, so it's probably best to keep things, um, normal and conventional. ...Maybe something with a flower? Or a plant? Super safe. Super... neutral. Yeah.哦对了，礼物要是送的太特别，可能对方会不喜欢，所以最好是普通一点、常规一点，什么小花小草的，比较靠谱啦~

CommanderAhh, is that so? Hmm, I see. I'll record that down.原来是这样啊，嗯嗯，我都记下了。

CommanderI'll do my best to make a choice. Thank you for your input.我会好好挑的，谢谢你的建议。

(I look at the various items on stock at the stall, then to Belka. She looks even unhappier now, with her hands clenched tightly at her sides.)（我翻看着摊位上的货品，又瞟了比悠卡一眼。她看起来更不高兴了，手在身旁攥得紧紧的。）

(I pick up another accessory and was about to ask Belka about it again, yet she cuts me off in an aggrieved tone.)（我拿起另一件饰品，正要再问，比悠卡却委屈巴巴地打断了我的动作。）

BelkaTha-that's all I have for suggestions! Enjoy your shopping trip!我、我的建议就这么多！指挥官慢慢挑吧！

BelkaI have to go back for servicing since I just came back from a mission, so I can't keep you company anymore! Bye!任务刚完成，我得回去检修，就不陪指挥官逛了！

(Belka doesn't wait for me to respond. She turns to leave, stomping the ground as she does.)（没等我说什么，她就跺跺脚，转身跑开了。）

CommanderSo this is where you went. I had a hard time finding you.原来你在这啊，找你半天了。

BelkaWhat are you here for, Commander? Did you manage to pick out the gift for "someone important"?指挥官找我做什么？给“很重要的人”的礼物挑好了吗？

(She hugs her legs while sitting on the bed and looking up at me, still pouting with her mouth turned up high.)（她抱着腿缩在床上坐着，只是抬头看我，嘴还是撅得高高的。）

CommanderI did, which is why I came over to show it to you. I made my choice with your help, after all.就是挑好了，所以才拿来给你看看，毕竟也有你的一份功劳嘛。

(I sit on the edge of the bed and take out a transparent box from my pocket. A preserved white daisy sits inside it.)（我坐到床边，从口袋里掏出一个透明盒子，里面盛着一朵制成永生花的白色小雏菊。）

CommanderWhat do you think? A small white flower. It is simple and inexpensive, inconspicuous and classic. It fits your preferences, right?你觉得怎么样？白色的小花，简单便宜，既不起眼也够经典，符合你的要求吧？

BelkaW-what do my preferences and thoughts have to do with this? Why does it matter?我、我觉得怎么样，我的要求怎么样，又有什么关系呢？

BelkaIt's... not like you're buying that gift for me anyway! Shouldn't you be asking that "someone important" of yours?这个礼物……又不是给我的，“很重要的人”的意见才比较重要吧！

CommanderWho says that your preferences don't matter? This gift is for you.谁说你的意见不重要了？这个礼物就是送给你的啊。

Belka...Eh?……哎？

(She's stunned. Her eyes, now large as dinner plates, look back and forth between my face and the preserved flower with a complex expression.)（她愣住了，瞪大了眼睛来来回回地看我的脸和那朵永生花，表情有点复杂。）

(I smile gently and take out another box from my pocket.)（我轻轻一笑，从口袋里掏出另一个小盒子。）

CommanderAlright, I'll stop messing with you. This is the actual gift for you.好了，不逗你了，这个才是真正要送你的礼物。

CommanderIt was going to be your gift from the start. You've given me so much, so isn't it time for me to provide an appropriate response?我要送礼的人，一直都是你而已。你送了我这么多，我也该回你一份是不是？

(I hand the box over to Belka, who opens it with her face in disbelief. A golden pendant in the shape of a once-bitten acorn resides within.)（比悠卡一脸不可置信，从我手中接过盒子打开，里面躺着一条金色的松果吊坠，松果上被啃了一口。）

CommanderI remember how you once mentioned that your name meant "squirrel". Am I right to believe that no squirrel will reject a delectable acorn, sitting in front of them?我记得你以前说过，你的名字有“松鼠”的意思吧。想来松鼠应该不会拒绝一颗美味的松果？

BelkaUuuuu... I thought... That you had forgotten me long ago... (Sob)... You made me sad for so long...呜呜呜……我还以为，指挥官早就忘记了……呜呜……害得我伤心好久……

BelkaMy mood is all your fault, Commander! And I'll start feeling better only if you help me put on this pendant!心情不好、都怪指挥官啦！要指挥官帮我戴上吊坠，我才会好起来！

CommanderMy pleasure.好，好。

(I lift the strings of the pendant, cross her neck and make a knot for her.)（我拿起吊坠，双手绕过她的脖颈，帮她把吊坠戴上。）

(She wipes away her tears, looks down and starts caressing the "bitten" indent on the acorn, a smile growing on her face.)（她抹抹眼泪，低头抚摸着松果上的缺口，脸上渐渐有了笑意。）

CommanderHow is it, do you like it?怎么样，喜欢吗？

BelkaYes! I like it—a lot! I want to wear it every day!嗯！超——喜欢的！我要天天戴着！

CommanderI'll keep the daisy in storage then. You probably don't like it, right?那这个白色永生花，我就收走了？你应该不喜欢吧？

BelkaHuh? Don't!哎？不行！

(She grabs the box containing the preserved flower from me, bringing it to her chest.)（她一把夺过装着永生花的盒子，紧紧捧到胸口。）

BelkaIf it's something that you gave me, I'll treasure it no matter what!只要是指挥官送我的东西，我都会好好珍惜的！

(A bright smile dawns on her face as she watches the preserved flower, blooming in perpetuity.)（看着盒中绽放的永生花，比悠卡开心地笑起来。）

(Belka seems to suddenly recall something. She reaches out, grabs me and puts a kiss on my face.)（突然，她像是又想起了什么，伸手揽过我，在我脸上亲了一口。）

BelkaThat goes for you as well! I want both you and the gift!不只是礼物，还有指挥官哦！礼物和指挥官，我全都要！

Covenant 铭契

BelkaEh? No way, didn't you know about my feelings, Commander?哎？不会吧，指挥官还不知道我的心意吗？

BelkaDammit, I'm pretty sure I made it quite obvious...可恶，明明我已经表现得很明显了呀……

BelkaIt can't be helped then. I'll have to tell you face to face.没办法，只好由我亲自告诉指挥官啦。

BelkaMeet me tonight in my dorm alone. I'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know and the things that you didn't know, without any restraint.今晚，休息室，指挥官一个人来，我会把所有指挥官想知道的，指挥官不知道的，毫无保留，全都说给指挥官听哦~

Colors Shining For You 为你闪耀的色彩

(I was dealing with some random chores in the ops room when Belka slipped in. Looks like she has just finished with some training.)（我待在指挥室里处理一些杂务，比悠卡溜达了进来，看起来是刚结束了训练。）

(We engage in casual conversation as a form of relaxation.)（我们有一搭没一搭地聊着天，权当放松。）

BelkaCommander, guess what my favorite color is!指挥官，你猜我最喜欢的颜色是什么？

CommanderUm... Orange?唔……橙色？

BelkaWow! Are you a mind reader? I didn't expect you to get THAT right!哇，指挥官难道有读心术吗？这都被你猜对了耶！

CommanderI mean, your combat uniform is still orange throughout all the years that have passed.毕竟过了这么多年，你的作战服也依旧是这个色系的嘛。

BelkaHeheh, you remember how I looked in the past? Looks like I really do have a big place in your heart!嘿嘿，指挥官还没忘记我之前的样子，看起来心里有我呢！

BelkaNow, guess why I like orange the most!那再猜猜，为什么我喜欢橙色呀？

CommanderI think my mind-reading ability has failed. Could you unveil the answer for me?读心术有点失灵了，你要不揭晓一下答案？

BelkaAw, guess I'll have to fulfil that request since it's coming from you, Commander!唉，既然是指挥官的请求，那就不得不满足了呢！

BelkaIt's because orange stands out the most outside.其实是因为，橙色在外面会显得很亮眼。

BelkaThis way, you'll be able to pinpoint my position and see how well I perform in battle, no matter how far away or how chaotic the situation is!这样作战的时候，无论隔多远，无论战况多混乱，指挥官都可以轻松找到我，第一眼就看到我，然后欣赏我的精彩表现！

CommanderOh? So you like it because it helps you boost your visibility for me.噢，原来是为了让我看见，所以才喜欢的啊。

CommanderAren't you afraid that your enemies will treat you as live target practice with how easy you are to spot?那你就不怕太亮眼了，敌人把你当成了活靶子吗？

BelkaHuh? You're right! That's so smart of you, Commander! I actually never thought about that!哎？对哦！指挥官好聪明，我竟然没有想到耶！

BelkaErm... I'll work harder to destroy all your enemies before they manage to land a hit on me then!唔……那我就努力一点，在指挥官的敌人打中我之前，把他们都干掉好啦！

BelkaYou'll be watching, after all. That means I'll have to do my best and show you the most breathtaking victories you'll ever see!毕竟指挥官在看嘛，我得让指挥官欣赏到最漂亮的胜利才行！

BelkaHow does that sound, Commander? Isn't my reason for liking orange pretty good?怎么样，指挥官有没有觉得，喜欢这个颜色的理由很不错？

BelkaSo, Commander, you'll keep on watching me no matter where I am or whether I'm in or out of combat, right?所以指挥官，无论我在哪，无论我是否在战斗，你都会一直看着我的，对吧？

CommanderHaven't seen you being all clingy around Klukai lately.最近怎么没看见你粘着可露凯？

BelkaHehe. That's what you don't get about me, Commander嘿嘿，指挥官这就不懂了吧！

BelkaThe more we stay separate, even just briefly, the more Big Sis will cherish the time we spend together!稍微远离一段时间再出现，才会让姐姐更加珍惜我们在一起的时间！

BelkaYou don't know what's precious to you till it's gone—I learned that from a book I read!“距离产生美”，这是我从杂志上学到的小技巧哦！

CommanderAbout that new trinket on my desk...我桌上那个新的摆件……

BelkaOh, that one. It's a fluorescent rock I picked up during my last outing! Breathtaking, right?那个呀，是我上次出任务时捡到的夜光石！很漂亮吧？

CommanderAre you sure it's JUST a fluorescent rock? Pray tell, why has the onboard radiation alert been buzzing non-stop ever since you brought it in then...只是夜光石吗？为什么自从有了它，系统一直显示车里辐射超标……

BelkaEhh... could it be—Oh no! I'll throw it away right now—咦……难道是——危险！我现在就去把它丢掉——

CommanderYou haven't taken a break in a long time, Belka... Are you doing okay?比悠卡好像很久没休息过了……还受得住吗？

BelkaDon't worry, Commander, I'm totally fine! Don't forget that I'm an elite T-Doll after all!放心吧指挥官，完全没问题哦！毕竟我是精英人形嘛！

BelkaHmm, wait a second... Are you asking that because I haven't spent enough time with you?咦，不对……是不是我陪着指挥官的时间不够多，指挥官才这么问的呀？

BelkaGeez, you could've said that directly! I'll go ask Big Sis for some time off right now~真是的，有话就直说嘛！我这就去跟姐姐申请一下调休哦~

CommanderWhen the drone short-circuited and caught fire on the deck last time, why did you try to put it out using water...?上次甲板上无人机短路着火，你怎么想到用水灭火的……

BelkaI just thought any fire can be put out with water...那我以为，灭火就应该浇水嘛……

BelkaLuckily, the fire was put out and no one got electrocuted in the process, so I guess the result can be considered a success, right?但好在没有电到人，火也成功灭了，应该问题不大，对吧？

BelkaI think, you should teach me more about these things, Commander. That way I can learn!要不，指挥官多教教我灭火的常识好不好？这样我就能懂得多一点啦！

CommanderHaven't seen Klukai scold you much lately.最近好像没怎么听说可露凯责备你了嘛。

BelkaHow can Big Sis' love be called scolding?姐姐对我的爱，怎么能叫责备呢？

BelkaBut since it's become less frequent, that must mean Big Sis finally acknowledged me, right?不过，既然减少了，说明姐姐认可我了吧？

BelkaHehe. I'm an elite T-Doll just like Big Sis now... Yay!嘻嘻，我和姐姐一样是精英人形了……好耶！

CommanderToday's training leaderboard... Belka, you dropped to second place?今天的训练成绩榜……比悠卡怎么掉到第二啦？

BelkaUuu... Must've been too tired from work—I just didn't perform well...呜呜，一定是工作太累了，所以发挥不好……

BelkaBut, some comforting from the Commander is all I need to perk right back up!不过，如果有指挥官的安慰的话，我就能很快振作起来了哦！

CommanderAlright... But if you really are tired, you have to tell me.好吧……但如果真的累的话，要老实告诉我啊。

Rhapsody Quartet · 3 狂想四重奏·3

BelkaAlright, I'm ready to begin training anytime.准备完毕，随时可以开始训练。

BelkaI've also thought of the victory pose I'm going to use to celebrate Big Sis Klukai getting the number one spot, I'll make sure to record this memorable new scene.我已经想好和可露凯姐姐的冠军庆祝姿势了，一定要记录下值得纪念的新画面。

MechtyI won't lose when it comes to games.在游戏领域，我不会输的。

AndorisOh my, I rarely ever see Mechty so motivated.很少看到米什缇这么有干劲的状态。

AndorisWell, I'll be doing my best too so the Commander will grant my wish.为了指挥官能够实现我的心愿，我也会拿出全力。

RucheyIsn't this supposed to be an ordinary training exercise?已经不再是单纯训练了吗？

BelkaI'm sorry, Ruchey. I know we're friends, but I can't go easy on you at an important time like this.抱歉了，乌琪。虽然我们是同伴，但是这么重要的时候，我是绝对不会放水的。

BelkaI need to prove that me and Big Sis have the best teamwork...我要证明，我和姐姐一定会是配合得最默契的……

CommanderNext up, I'll be assigning team members by random draw...接下来根据我随机抽选组队名单安排队伍。

BelkaEhhhh?! You're using a random draw?诶？！随机抽选！

BelkaSo you're saying that there's a 50% chance I won't be Big Sis' teammate, but her enemy?!那岂不是我和姐姐有百分之五十的概率不是队友而是敌人？！

MechtyStrictly speaking, we're all part of the competition.准确来说我们都是你的竞争对手。

BelkaCan I swap teams with someone else?不可以选择更换队友吗？

CommanderIf both of you agree.如果双方同意就可以。

WelrodI would recommend against that.我不推荐这么做。

WelrodHarpsy's training simulation was designed to hone cooperation across varied team compositions.哈卜茜开发的训练模式本就是为了训练团队合作的多种模式。

WelrodThe whole reason why we are taking part in this exercise is to improve our battlefield decision-making based on the unique characteristics of each of our members.根据不同成员的特性优化战场所采取的应对策略，这是我们如今参与训练的底层原因。

BelkaEh? But...诶？可是……

WelrodNo buts.没有可是。

WelrodA single training exercise is not enough to familiarize yourself with everyone else's combat preferences and learn the most ideal choices to make.熟悉每一位成员的不同战斗习惯，做出最优的选择，单纯一次训练根本不够。

(Belka walks away dejectedly, muttering about how she hopes she'll be in the same team as Klukai. Ruchey walks over and tugs on her sleeve.)（比悠卡失落地走到一旁，嘴里碎碎念着希望继续和可露凯能分到同一组，乌琪走到她的身边，扯了扯她的衣角。）

RucheyI don't mind swapping with you.我愿意和你交换名额。

RucheyIf you get paired up with Vivi, I'm okay with trading places.如果你抽到了和Vivi协作，我可以和你交换分组。

BelkaRuchey! I knew you'd be my greatest ally.乌琪！我就知道，你最好啦。

WelrodOnly partnering with people you're familiar with will stifle your progress. Working with different people will help you find weaknesses in your teamwork which you might not have noticed before.一味和习惯的同伴合作只会固步自封。和更多同伴合作有利于寻找协作中未曾发现的弱点。

WelrodVector, if I found myself working with Klukai, I would cherish that opportunity to discover any holes in the team through a training run.维克托，如果有和可露凯合作的机会，我会珍惜这个机会，通过训练，寻找队伍目前缺失的模块。

VectorUnderstood.我知道了。

WelrodThis is an essential step in promoting the team's growth. Of course, I'm not saying that you...这是让小队快速成长所必须经历的步骤。当然，我不是认为你……

VectorWelrod, I won't dispute your choices.维尔德，我不会干涉你的选择。

WelrodI just... Well, as long as you get what I'm trying to say.我只是……总之，你明白我的心意就好。

VectorMhm...嗯……

VectorI will respect everyone's choices.我尊重大家的选择。

CommanderNow, the members of Team 1 are: Klukai, Belka, Ruchey, and Welrod. The members of Team 2 are: Vector, Mechty, Harpsy, and Andoris.第一组训练成员，可露凯、比悠卡、乌琪、维尔德。第二组，维克托、米什缇、哈卜茜、安朵丝。

BelkaYaaay— I'm on the same team as Big Sis Klukai.幸运——和可露凯姐姐分到同一组了。

Ruchey...……

RucheyMechty, can I swap teams with you?米什缇，我和你交换加入的小队可以么？

MechtyNope.拒绝。

MechtyI'm very compatible with Vector.我和维克托的相性很好。

Ruchey...……

WelrodRuchey, it's not right to keep relying on Vector.乌琪，一再依赖维克托并不是正确的决定。

WelrodYou should cherish this opportunity to learn how to handle situations without her around.你应该珍惜这次机会，学会应对不同战场局面。

Ruchey...Alright.好吧。

BelkaThere won't be any problems with Big Sis around!有可露凯姐姐在，任何训练都不成问题。

BelkaCome, Ruchey! We'll work together and set a new team record for the simulation.乌琪，我们一起合作，绝对能够创下最优秀的小队训练纪录。

Elite Doll's Special Training Ⅰ 精英人形的特训·Ⅰ

BelkaHey, Commander! We're meeting up over here!嗨，指挥官！约好的地点在这边哟！

CommanderI'm here. But what's with the "elite Dolls' secret training" stuff you were rambling about? This doesn't look like a place for that at all...来了。不是说精英人形的秘密特训吗，这里看上去完全不是什么适合训练的场地吧……

BelkaDon't worry about it, Commander! Today's training is simply too special, and I've made sure to pick the right place carefully!指挥官别急嘛！因为今天的训练项目很特殊啦，这里可是比悠卡精心挑选的位置呢！

CommanderAre you sure about that...?真的……？

BelkaA-absolutely sure!绝对、绝对、是真的！

Commander...Fine then, I'll trust you for now. But why are you on your own? Where's Klukai and the others?……好吧，姑且相信你了。那怎么只有你一个人？可露凯她们呢？

BelkaEh~ Did I ever say Big Sis would come? You must be remembering it wrong, Commander~诶~我说过姐姐会一起来吗？指挥官是不是记错啦~

BelkaBig Sis is already an elite Doll. Of course she doesn't need the special training anymore!姐姐都已经是精英人形了嘛，当然不用再参加特训啦！

BelkaAnd among the rest of us in 404, the most elite-like and the one most in need of special training is obviously—me!404小队剩下的三个人里，最具有精英人形气质，最需要参加特别训练的，当然就是我喽！

BelkaWhich is why I'm here waiting for you, Commander~所以，我才会在这里等指挥官嘛~

CommanderWell, I'm not a T-Doll nor in H.I.D.E. 404, so I guess the special training is none of my business then. Can I leave now?可我不是404小队的人形，也没必要参加特训吧？我是不是可以走了？

BelkaEh—? No, Commander. Don't just leave—哎——？不行啦，指挥官不可以走——

(Belka suddenly holds onto—no, clings tightly onto my arm.)（比悠卡猛地拉住我，不，是紧紧抱住了我的手臂。）

BelkaIf no one's there to record my elite training, I won't be able to know how much I've progressed!我进行精英人形训练，要是没有人来记录，不就不知道自己进步多少了吗？

BelkaFor that reason alone, you must stay!不行不行，指挥官一定要留下来！

(Belka's antsy response only makes me want to tease her further.)（比悠卡着急的态度，让我忍不住想要逗逗她。）

CommanderWhy not ask Andoris to handle the recording process? Her data storage and processing capabilities are much more useful than whatever I'll be able to do.让安朵丝来做记录不就好了吗？她的信息记录和处理能力，可比我强得多。

BelkaBut Andoris is Andoris, and the Commander is the Commander—it's different...可是，安朵丝是安朵丝，和指挥官不一样……

CommanderWouldn't it be better to have Klukai supervise you directly then? You like clinging to her anyway.那让可露凯直接监督你不是更好吗？本来你就喜欢粘着她吧？

BelkaNooooo. If I train with Big Sis... she'll see my progress and there won't be any surprise!不要啦，和姐姐一起特训的话……姐姐就会知道我的进步，就没有惊喜了呀！

BelkaUuu... Wait. Do you hate Belka now, Commander...? The way you just keep turning me down... Did I do something...? (Sob)呜……不对，指挥官一直拒绝，是讨厌比悠卡了吗……是比悠卡做错什么了吗……呜呜……

(Belka presses her whole body against my arm while looking up at me with her big, teary eyes.)（比悠卡整个人都贴到了我的手臂上，眼巴巴地看着我抽泣着。）

Commander...Alright, you can stop crying. You just wanted an excuse to hang out with me alone, right?……好了，别哭了。其实你就是想找个理由单独约我出来，对吧？

BelkaUuu... Uweh? Commander... You already knew that...?呜呜……哎？指挥官……原来指挥官知道我的心思……？

BelkaSo... you were just teasing me back there? Waaah, that's so mean! The Commander's a super big meanie!所以刚才……指挥官都是在捉弄我？哇啊，指挥官好坏！指挥官是超级大坏蛋！

CommanderFine, fine. I'm a big meanie.好好，我坏。

BelkaIn that case—to make it up to me, you must stay beside me for the rest of the day!那——为了补偿我，指挥官必须陪我一整天才行！

CommanderSure. Whatever training regime you have planned, I'll help you record carefully.好，你要特训什么项目，我都会好好帮你记录的。

BelkaHmm? Simply recording things is going too easy on you... No, let me think of something else...唔？光是记录的话，指挥官也太轻松啦……不行，让我想想……

BelkaHehe~ Got one! Besides recording, you should also train with me!嘻~我想到了！除了记录，指挥官也和我一起特训吧！

BelkaThere's a special training regime perfect for this scenario. I promise it won't let you down!正好有一个特别适合的特训项目，一定不会让指挥官失望的！

Elite Doll's Special Training Ⅱ 精英人形的特训·Ⅱ

CommanderSo we're starting right now? What's first on the list?就在这里特训吗？先从什么项目开始？

BelkaDon't be so impatient, Commander~ You wouldn't want my frame to get damaged during the intense exercise, right?指挥官，别着急嘛~特训那么激烈，要是素体出问题就麻烦了呀！

BelkaSo before we start, can you help me check my frame?在特训开始前，先帮比悠卡检查一下素体好不好嘛？

CommanderHas 404 always been so extra before every training?404每次特训前，环节都这么多？

BelkaOf course not! It's because I'm training with you, Commander!才不是啦！是因为和指挥官一起训练，所以才要做检查啊！

BelkaCome on. Don't just stand around. Help me check this spot!哎呀——指挥官不要再呆站着啦，快帮我看看这里！

(Belka holds my hand, guiding it to the back of her neck until it presses against her warm skin.)（比悠卡拉住我，牵引着我将手掌放到了她的颈后，触碰着她温暖的皮肤。）

CommanderWhat's wrong with there?这里怎么了？

BelkaWell, the joint near the connector is a little stiff. It's not rotating smoothly, which'll definitely affect my combat performance. Could you massage it for me, Commander?唔唔，接口附近的关节有点僵硬呢~转动不太灵活，一定会影响作战的，指挥官帮比悠卡揉一揉好不好？

CommanderAlright.好吧。

(I gently knead the back of Belka's neck and her exposed shoulders too.)（我轻轻揉捏起比悠卡的后颈，也顺带为她揉捏裸露在外的肩膀。）

CommanderHow's the pressure?力道怎么样？

BelkaHehe~ It's perfect! With the Commander meticulously checking me like this, I'll have to train harder than ever!嘻~正合适！有指挥官这样的检查，等下训练我一定会力气加倍！

CommanderGuess I'll look forward to it then. Where should I check next?那我姑且期待一下吧。好了，接下来要检查哪里？

BelkaMmm... Commander, can you move your hands a little lower...? Mmm-hmm, right there. That part has been pretty sore lately, can you please massage it for me too~嗯……指挥官的手往下挪一点点……嗯嗯，就是这里啦，最近总是酸酸痛痛的，需要指挥官帮忙捏捏才行~

(My hands move down as I lift her clothing out of the way to knead between her waist and spine.)（手掌往下移动，我掀开比悠卡碍事的衣摆，在她的腰与背脊之间揉捏。）

CommanderI see you're getting the hang of acting spoiled.我发现，你越来越会撒娇了。

BelkaI'm not! I'm just telling you the truth...才没有呢！我只是在说实话嘛……

BelkaDaily training easily puts a lot of strain on our frames, but with the Commander helping me check—even just with a little massage—all the discomfort went away instantly!每天特训素体很容易故障，可是有指挥官帮忙检查，就算只是碰一碰，酸痛感也一下子就消失不见了！

BelkaHehe. This feels so good... Commander, can you go a little harder?嘿嘿，好舒服呀……指挥官，可以再用力一点吗？

(I smile and apply more force.)（我笑着加重了手上的力道。）

BelkaYeow, ow, ouch—! That's too much, Commander!呜，痛痛痛——！指挥官，可以轻一点的啦！

CommanderHmm? What are you saying? I can't hear you.嗯？比悠卡在说什么，我没有听到。

CommanderThe joints over there look a little stiff too. Let me carefully check them for you.倒是这边的关节，看起来也很僵硬，我再帮比悠卡好好检查一下吧。

BelkaPfft, hahaha... I-it tickles! S-stop teasing me again! Commander, you big meanie—!噗、哈哈哈……好、好痒？指挥官好坏，又在捉弄我——！

BelkaEh? D-don't touch there! Stop! Commander!欸？指、指挥官不要碰那里！快停下啦！

BelkaWaaah, I-I'm sorry! I won't dare again, Commander—哇啊，比悠卡错了，比悠卡再也不敢了啦指挥官——

Elite Doll's Special Training Ⅲ 精英人形的特训·Ⅲ

BelkaUgh... That was supposed to be a pre-training checkup to help me get ready, but you made my whole body sore! Now I don't have any strength left.呜……明明是特训前的素体检查，却被指挥官弄得浑身都酸酸痛痛的！都没有力气进行特训了。

BelkaYou've disrupted my training regime, now you must take responsibility, Commander!指挥官打乱了特训计划，必须好好负起责任！

CommanderThe frame check was your idea, remember? Why am I the only one responsible?明明素体检查是比悠卡先提出来的，负责任的却只有我吗？

BelkaEh? But... but...欸？可是……可是……

BelkaCommander, are you really planning to let me begin the harsh training immediately with an aching body like this?指挥官难道忍心让浑身酸痛的比悠卡立刻开始辛苦的训练吗？

CommanderThe enemy won't care where you're exhausted or achy in real combat. Don't tell me an elite T-Doll of H.I.D.E. 404 can't overcome such tiny discomfort.实战里敌人进攻可不会管你哪里痛。404的精英人形，不会连这点小困难都克服不了吧？

BelkaUuu... That's so rigorous! Alright then, as an elite T-Doll I'll do my best to pull myself together!呜……指挥官好严格！那好吧，作为精英人形的我，会努力振作起来的！

BelkaLet us begin, Commander! Starting with the warm-up!指挥官，我们开始吧！一起热身！

CommanderWait, warm-up? I thought we've already started training!等等，还要热身？我还以为已经进入特训环节了。

BelkaThe "special training" is very intense after all! One must warm up thoroughly or they can easily get injured!因为“特训”是很辛苦的嘛！必须要充分热身才行，不然很容易受伤的！

CommanderSo, if we're going to warm up together... what do I do?所以，陪你一起热身……我要怎么做？

BelkaHehe~ Just hold my hands first!嘻~指挥官，先抓住我的手吧！

(Belka reaches both her hands out. I nod lightly and do the same to hold hers back.)（比悠卡向我伸出双手。 我点点头，也伸手与她回握。）

CommanderWhat's next? Do we stretch together? Squats? Jumping jacks?然后呢？我们是需要一起拉伸？深蹲？还是开合跳？

BelkaWow, so you do know all these warm-up techniques!哇，真不愧是指挥官，对各种热身的方式都很熟悉嘛！

BelkaBut, Belka's unique warm-up will be a little different—但是，比悠卡的独家热身方式，会有一点点特别哦——

(Belka winks slyly. She tightens her grip before suddenly diving into my arms the very next moment.)（比悠卡狡黠地眨了眨眼睛。她抓着我的手微微地紧了紧。下一刻，她猛地扑进了我的怀里。）

Commander—!——！

BelkaHehe~ How's that, Commander? Do you feel being "warmed up" by Belka?嘿嘿~指挥官，怎么样？感受到属于“比悠卡”的温度了吗！

(Belka asks while snuggling deeper into my embrace. Her warm body pressed tightly against mine, continuously transmitting her energy to me.)（比悠卡一边说着，一边又往我怀中更深处蹭了蹭。温热的素体紧紧与我相贴，将暖意源源不断地向我传递。）

Commander...So this is what you meant by "warm-up".……原来是这样的“热身”。

BelkaMmm-hmm. And it's not just to your chest, I can warm up your back and other places too!嗯嗯，不仅能温暖指挥官的胸口，背上和其他地方也可以哟！

(Belka lets go of my hands. She then wraps her arms around my waist, gradually imparting her warmth to my back.)（比悠卡松开了我的手。接着，她环住了我的腰，将热度一分分传递至我的后背。）

BelkaFeels good, Commander? Can you feel your whole body warming up?指挥官，舒服吗！是不是觉得浑身都热起来啦？

CommanderYeah. Belka's body is very warm.嗯。比悠卡的身体很温暖。

BelkaHehe~ If you like it, then hold onto me tighter!嘻嘻~指挥官喜欢的话，那就再抱紧些吧！

BelkaUntil you tell me to stop, I'll keep "warming you up" like this...在指挥官喊停之前，我会一直这样为指挥官“热身”的……

Elite Doll's Special Training Ⅳ 精英人形的特训·Ⅳ

CommanderI'm glad we've finally made it to the actual "training", but...虽然我很高兴我们终于进入了正式的“特训”。但是……

CommanderWhy are you making me sit still on this chair, Belka? What kind of training regime is this?比悠卡，你让我坐在椅子上不许动，这叫什么特训项目？

CommanderAnd what's that you're holding? A riding crop?还有你手里拿的又是什么？教鞭？

BelkaEh—? You still don't get it after I've made it THIS obvious, Commander? Come on, don't make it say it out loud!哎——？都这样了啦，指挥官还不明白？说破了多没意思呀！

Commander...Alright, I get it now. Turns out I'm actually the one getting "trained" today.……好吧，我明白了。合着今天最后被“特训”的是我。

BelkaHehe~ "Elite Dolls' secret training" obviously means the Doll is the one giving the training!嘿嘿~“精英人形的秘密特训”，当然是人形来发起“特训”了！

BelkaBesides, even with that reluctant look on your face, aren't you still sitting here like a good boy~?而且，指挥官虽然一脸不情愿，但还是乖乖地坐在这里~

BelkaI would assume that means the Commander doesn't actually hate me doing this, right?这是不是表示，指挥官其实并不讨厌我这么做嘛？

CommanderThat depends on what your "training" entails next.这取决于你接下来打算怎么“特训”。

BelkaHeh~ This, of course!嘻~当然是——这样啦！

(Belka raises the riding crop. Its leather tassels brush against my ear like soft feathers.)（比悠卡举起教鞭凑近了我。皮革制成的流苏在我的耳边如羽毛一般轻轻一划。）

CommanderTch...啧……

BelkaEh? You don't feel ticklish? Didn't budge at all—amazing!欸？指挥官不觉得痒痒吗？居然完全没动，好厉害！

BelkaHehe... What about like this then? Can you endure THIS?嘻嘻……如果像这样呢？指挥官还能坚持吗？

(Belka brushes the crop across the back of my neck. No, it's not just the crop—her fingers and hair too...)（比悠卡举着教鞭拂过我的后颈。不，不止是教鞭，还有她的手指与发丝……）

Commander...Hmph. A little ticklish, but no way near enough to get me.……哼。虽然有点痒，但是，小意思。

BelkaOh? I see that the Commander's tolerance is much stronger than I expected!咦？指挥官的耐受能力，比我想象中要强很多呢！

BelkaIn that case—sorry for going all in!那——我可要不客气啦！

(Belka drives the crop around once more, using the tassels to brush against my waist, back, and chest... all the while having her soft fingertips following close behind.)（比悠卡再次挥舞起教鞭。流苏渐次拂过了我的腰间、后背、胸口……比悠卡柔软的手指，也与教鞭一起柔软地拂过。）

BelkaCommander, how does it feel now? Besides the tickling, do you feel yourself getting warmer?指挥官，这下——感觉怎么样？除了痒痒，有觉得变热吗？

CommanderTsk...嘶……

(My body is indeed getting hotter to meet the excitement. But a game must go all the way to the end to be fun.)（身体的温度的确在升高。但所谓游戏，就是要进行到底才有趣。）

CommanderNo, I don't feel ticklish at all. Keep going, I'm all for it.不，一点都不痒。没关系，尽管来。

BelkaWoah! You're so full of fighting spirit, Commander!哇！指挥官真是充满了斗志呢！

BelkaBut I won't lose to you either!不过，今天的我也是绝对不会服输的哦！

(Once again, Belka raises the crop, drawing ever closer to me.)（再一次地，比悠卡举着鞭子，无限地向我逼近。）

BelkaHeheh~! Commander! Tremble under Belka's "special training"!哼哼~！指挥官！在比悠卡的“特训”之下颤抖吧！

CommanderThe perfectly managed heat brings out a natural harmony of taste.恰到好处的火候，食材的美味浑然天成。

BelkaYou're such a nice person, so of course you liked it, right?指挥官这么好，一定愿意的吧？

Tidying Up 1 整理清扫1

CommanderOnce you find it, you'll realize what you've lost. What a strange request this is...“只要找起来，就会明白丢的是什么东西。”这是什么奇怪的请求……

CommanderOh well, since she asked, I'll do my best to search for it.算了，既然她拜托了我，那就找找看吧。

...……

CommanderI've spent a while looking, but... there doesn't seem to be anything special?找了一圈，似乎……也没什么特别的东西？

BelkaEhhhh—how did things end up like this?诶——怎么这样？

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1"You want to know where I got my name? Heh, it's a nickname Big Sis Klukai gave me!" Formerly known as Gr G28, Belka obtained her current moniker after being inspired by Klukai's sharp tongue. With cheeriness and motivation written all over her face, able to dispel tense moods with her cute looks and energetic words, as well as rain hails of fire on the enemy—this was Belka, whose ambition was to become an elite Doll, just like Klukai! After leaving Griffin, Belka accepted a reassignment but never gave up looking for the Commander and Klukai. Even though many of her attempts to meet up with Klukai fell short of the mark—even leading 404 to wrongly assume she was an enemy after stumbling into the base one time—she managed to meet up with Klukai in the end. Thanks to her outstanding combat performance and unrelenting pleas for acceptance (piteous begging), she was accepted as a new member of 404 and eventually boarded the Elmo with them. Long years of practice made Belka a skilled social manipulator under her innocent-looking exterior. The occasional missteps she made in daily life were easily forgiven with an apologetic nod and remorseful bow. These little gestures also became more and more frequent around the important people in her life—especially the Commander. Did all these people really not see through her tricks? Perhaps they felt that Belka no longer needed to pull petty tricks like this to win their approval. Still, there's nothing wrong with showing off her cute and smart side, right?“为什么叫这个名字？嘻嘻，因为这是可露凯姐姐给我的爱称呀！” 曾用代号G28，在可露凯的毒舌中汲取灵感，获得了现代号比悠卡。朝气和干劲都写在脸上，能用自己的可爱外表和活泼发言缓解紧张的氛围，也能用倾泻的枪火让敌人压力倍增——比悠卡，励志要成为像可露凯一样的精英人形！ 离开格里芬后，比悠卡看似接受了安置，但实际上一直没放弃寻找指挥官和可露凯。虽然有许多希望扑空的时候，甚至一度被404误认为是入侵据点的敌人，她还是最终与可露凯汇合了。凭借她出色的战斗表现和坚持不懈的求情（卖惨），她被接纳为404一队的新成员，并最终与404一起登上了艾莫号。 多年的历练，让比悠卡天真外表下的小心思愈发灵活。生活中偶尔的冒失，比悠卡只要稍稍放低姿态，都能博得原谅。在重要的人——尤其是指挥官面前，这样的小聪明也显得越加频繁。真的没人识破吗？或许在大家心里，比悠卡早就不需要用小伎俩来博得好感了。但让她多展现自己可爱聪明的一面，又有何妨呢？

Record 2When Griffin was restructured, Belka agonized over her future direction for a long time before ultimately deciding to leave. Rather than sit around waiting for the Commander to come back or for her big sister and 404 to make contact with her... it would be better to head out on her own, join 404, and find the Commander! However, 404 had hidden its tracks and the Commander was deliberately keeping a low profile, which made Belka's journey of discovery a challenging one. She tried all their old methods of communication, obtained new intel from brokers, and followed traces of suspicious operations... Belka latched onto any thread that might give her a clue about Klukai or the Commander. However, her vigorous pursuit set off alarm bells within 404, and when Belka finally found their base, Klukai set out to eliminate this hidden threat. After an intense gun battle, Klukai finally realized that the eyes watching them in the darkness belonged to Belka, who was watching her from afar. "Bweeeeeeh... Big Sis, I finally found you!" On the verge of extinction, Belka clung tightly to Klukai, her hard-won hope. Now that she had found her sister, would the Commander be that far off?格里芬解散重组时，比悠卡纠结了很久，最终选择了离开。与其留在这里等指挥官回来、等姐姐和404小队过来……不如主动出击，加入404、找到指挥官！ 但404隐蔽的行踪、指挥官的刻意隐藏，都让比悠卡的寻找之旅变得困难重重。过去的联络方式、全新的暗商情报、可疑的行动踪迹……只要是可能跟可露凯和指挥官相关的线索，比悠卡都不会放过。 然而这样的追查却引起了404的警惕，当比悠卡最终找到了404的据点时，可露凯决定动手解决隐患。在一阵有预谋的枪林弹雨过后，可露凯终于发现那双暗处的“眼睛”，原来属于一直遥望着自己的比悠卡。 “呜呜呜……终于找到姐姐了！”差点被报废的比悠卡，紧紧抱住了眼前得来不易的希望。 姐姐已经找到了，那离找到指挥官，还会远吗？

Record 3Although she had found Klukai, Belka had a long way to go before she could truly join 404. Working hard in battle was just part of the equation; emotional intelligence was the key to growing closer to Klukai and building relations with her teammates. Belka's excellent combat performance and her strategy of constantly chipping away made the typically strict Klukai finally relent and declare that Belka had passed her probation period for entering 404. After boarding the Elmo, Belka worked hard to maintain her good results on the battlefield, complete with a pledge to help the Commander get rid of all the annoying things in his way! After each victory, she would always think eagerly about the Commander and her big sister praising her for her competency. However, success on the battlefield did not translate to everything going her way in daily life. At times, Belka would blow up the microwave or wreck the fridge thermostats and generally cause various minor accidents off the battlefield due to a lack of common sense. After a few subtle reminders by the Commander, Belka realized she had to do something about it; otherwise the Commander might grow to resent her and draw away, and that was the one thing she could not allow! "Could you teach me how to do it right, Commander?" Hehe, this was the way she could stay with the Commander!虽然找到了可露凯，但离真正加入404，比悠卡还有很长一段路要走。努力战斗只是一部分，和可露凯拉近距离，和队友打好关系，人情牌才是最重要的。在比悠卡的软磨硬泡和优秀的战绩下，一向严厉的可露凯终于松了口，让比悠卡通过了404的试用期。 登上艾莫号后，比悠卡也努力在战场中维持着亮眼表现，誓要帮指挥官赶走一切烦人的东西！这么能干，指挥官和姐姐一定会大大夸奖自己的！每次作战胜利，她都如此美滋滋地想着。 不过，战场上的所向披靡，并不代表生活中的得心应手。时而让微波炉报废，时而让冰箱制冷管爆裂，在一些无关作战的场合，比悠卡不时会因为缺乏常识而闹出小风波。被指挥官委婉提醒后，比悠卡痛定思痛：要是因为这样被讨厌、被疏远了，那可不行！ “我不太懂嘛，指挥官教教我好不好？” 嘿嘿，这样一来，就可以和指挥官待在一起了！

Record 4"What's all this weird stuff..." "Hehe, I just knew you wouldn't understand, Mechty. This is no ordinary stone. Behold! There's a colorful eye on it!" Belka held up a stone with a colorful eye-shaped pattern on it, turning it over in the sun and observing it with a smug smile on her face. There were many other strange little trinkets on the sill of Belka's window. Some of them had been discovered in the contamination zone by chance, others were bought from trade fairs, and others were gifts from underground brokers. "Is that... part of an ELID's corpse?" Mechty said as she peered at the collection on the windowsill, looking utterly uninterested. "Careful, this one's been exposed to the elements for a long time and it's fragile! Where am I going to get another bike-shaped piece of bone if this one breaks?" Belka pouted, clearly unhappy with the frown on Mechty's face. "What's wrong with that?! If you like someone, you like everything related to them too, right?!" "So it's because this bone is shaped like Klukai's motorbike? Er... Don't tell me there's some significance to this bullet too..." "Of course there is. Look at the inscription on it—it dates back from before WW3! Finding one of them in such a well-preserved state is pretty much unheard of!" As Belka enthused over her collection, she noticed Mechty's sleepy eyes. "What, do you not find this interesting? Open your eyes and look at them!" After seeing Mechty yawn again, Belka grabbed Mechty's hands and began stuffing pieces from her collection into them. "Here, look at this, this, and this! Look closely! Look until you begin to appreciate their beauty!" "Uwaaaahhh spare meeee—"“这什么怪东西……” “哼哼，就知道米什缇你不会懂的，这可不是一般的石头，看！这上面有只彩色的眼睛！” 比悠卡手里拿着一块带着彩色眼斑的石头在阳光下翻看，看起来十分满意。 在比悠卡房间的窗台上，还摆着许多类似的稀奇古怪的小玩意儿，或许是在污染区里偶然发现的，或许是在集市上淘来的，还有些来自于暗商的馈赠。 “这个是……生骸的残骨？”米什缇在窗台前摇头晃脑，兴致缺缺。 “小心点，这块骨头风干好久了，一用力就会碎！碎了我要上哪里再找一块像机车的骨头？”比悠卡嘟起嘴，显然对米什缇皱着的脸不是很满意。“怎么了嘛！爱屋及乌没什么问题吧！” “可露凯的机车？呃……那这颗子弹该不会也有什么含义吧……” “当然有咯，你看底下的刻字——这是三战前的子弹诶！能保存得这么完整很难得哦！” 比悠卡还在快乐地介绍着自己的收藏，冷不丁迎上米什缇昏昏欲睡的眼神。 “什么嘛，这不是很有趣吗？你放大眼睛看看啦！” 见米什缇又打了一个呵欠，比悠卡一把抓过米什缇的手，开始东挑西拣，把那些收藏都放进米什缇怀里。 “这个、这个、还有这个！你给我仔细看啦！多看看就能欣赏得来啦！” “呜哇不要啊——”

Record 5The current situation was pretty bad, even for Belka. On one side was her terrified client, and on the other were two unfamiliar kids who had fallen on the ground—and right in front of them, an ELID horde was about to burst in. She, standing in the middle, clutched the briefcase she was supposed to deliver, with only seconds to decide: without time to run over and save them all, who would she save? Ahhhh, what should I do? Breaking the contract would be a huge loss for 404, and Big Sis will surely be disappointed in me! B-but I can't just let those innocent kids be killed either! ELIDs aren't like normal people who'll let you off if you act pathetic and beg them for mercy! Surely there's got to be a way, right? Don't I always say that I want to be a cool and elite Doll like Big Sis? Just being able to meet training objectives isn't enough—I've got to be able to handle unexpected problems too! Belka focused her processing power and began thinking hard. In order to protect both sides, she'd have to get the ELIDs' attention... But how could she do that? Hm? Getting attention... isn't that my specialty? Without thinking further, she nodded to both her client and the kids, then charged into the horde of ELIDs. Bullets, grenades, EDC flashlight, the case—no, not the briefcase! I'll throw out everything I have that'll draw their attention! Yes, that's right, follow me, I'll make sure I take good care of you! ... "So that's how you work? You leave your client by himself in the contamination zone?" After accepting the briefcase from Belka, the client frowned and wiped away a splash of ELID goo from its surface. "Well, the unexpected happened and people's lives were at stake!" Belka replied with a winning smile. "The case has been handed over, the ELIDs have been dealt with, and I saved everyone I wanted to save. Everyone's happy!" Belka's smile grew wider as she recalled the two kids who had left after thanking her. "E-Even so, the customer is always right! I'm going to report you for being so reckless!" "Eh? Aw, don't be like that, we're still in the contamination zone right now, after all. If more ELIDs show up..." Belka sighed, a look of vexation on her face. "A-Are you threatening me?" The client was still talking tough, but his eyes were beginning to wander. "Perish the thought, dear client! As long as you don't report me and stick to the agreed-on payment, I'll waive the charges for escorting you out of the contamination zone!"就算是对比悠卡来说，眼前的情况也足够糟糕了。 一边是吓得骂骂咧咧的委托人，一边是摔倒在地的两个陌生孩子，而她提着要交付的手提箱站在中间，还有几秒面前的生骸群就会席卷这里。来不及跑个来回把两边都救下了，该救谁？ 啊啊啊怎么办！要是毁了委托，对404来说可是一笔大损失，姐姐肯定会对我失望的！可是、可是也不能放任那些无辜的孩子不管！生骸又不是一般人，卖个惨求求情就会轻轻放过自己了！ 一定会有办法的吧？不是一直说，要做像姐姐一样的精英人形吗？平时训练能做到第一还不够，在意外面前也要稳住才行！比悠卡开始集中算力疯狂思考。 想要两边都保住，就得先转移生骸前进的目标才行……要怎么转移——吸引它们的注意力？ 哎？吸引注意力……这不是我最擅长做的事吗？ 没有多想，她分别冲委托人和两个孩子点了点头，然后向汹涌的生骸群迎头冲去。 子弹、手雷、信号灯、手提——啊不对，手提箱除外——所有能激怒它们、转移它们注意力的东西，全都丢出去！对，就是这样，都来跟着我吧，让我来好好关照你们！ …… “……你就是这么做委托的？把你的委托人自己留在污染区里？” 拿到手提箱后，委托人沉着脸色，嫌弃地抹了一把箱子上溅上的生骸血液。 “事发突然，保命要紧嘛！”比悠卡一脸讨好，“箱子我交到手了，生骸也全部清剿了，想救的人我也救下了，大家都开心呀！”想到刚刚向自己道谢完离开的两个孩子，比悠卡脸上笑得更欢了。 “就、就算是这样，那委托人也是上帝！你这么胡来，我要——我要投诉你！” “哎？不要这样嘛，我们现在可还是在污染区里耶，要是再出现生骸的话……”比悠卡摆出一副苦恼的样子。 “你、你威胁我？”委托人嘴上气势不减，眼睛却开始左右乱瞟。 “我哪敢呀，委托人至上！只要你不投诉，按约定支付报酬，那护送你离开污染区的费用，我就替你免掉好啦！”

Record 6"Commander! How should I put on this new piece of gear? Could you demonstrate for me?" "Commander, you got sauce on your chin! I'll wipe it for you!" "Commander, I think I've got a fever, could you press your forehead against mine and check?" I smiled and parted her bangs, pressing the back of my hand against her forehead. "Firstly, Dolls don't get fevers. Secondly, the back of the hand is enough for checking temperatures." Belka pouted and looked unhappy. Ever since she returned to the Elmo, she seemed to have deviated from how I remembered her in Griffin. Had she always been so clingy? "Huh? But what if I'm nervous, or my frame is damaged? That might happen too! Plus, you're always wearing your tactical gloves, so surely getting closer to me would make the reading more accurate!" "Then maybe it would be best to let Mayling—" "Don't you trust your own judgment, Commander? It's okay, I believe in your skills. Maybe all you need to do is stay a liiiittle longer by my side and look! All better now!" She grabbed my hand and I could feel the heat flowing into me through her palm. That left me in a bit of a daze. This was clearly a trap, of course, but should I just jump into it? ...Why not? Considering how hard she's worked, humoring her a little should be okay, right?“指挥官！这个新装备要怎么穿呀？指挥官帮我穿一遍做示范好不好？” “指挥官，吃东西沾到嘴角了哦，让我来帮你擦一擦吧！” “指挥官，我好像发烧了耶，能不能贴贴我的额头确定一下呀？” 我笑着用手拂开她的刘海，手背探上她的前额：“首先，人形不会发烧；其次，量温度，用手就够了。” 比悠卡嘟起嘴，似乎有点不太高兴。这家伙自从回到艾莫号，似乎就变得和记忆中不太一样了。以前她有这么粘人吗？ “哎？可我要是紧张了，或者是机体受损了，也有可能会这样的嘛！而且、而且指挥官总是戴着战术手套，肯定靠近一点、直接感受更准确嘛！” “那不如让美玲来——” “指挥官是不相信自己的判断吗？没关系，我知道指挥官的实力哦，说不定指挥官只是稍——微再多留在我身边，看看我，我就自己好了呢！” 她抓起我的手晃荡，炽热的温度从掌心渡过，让我有点恍惚。这个小陷阱，我要不要跳呢？ ……也罢，看在她的努力上，满足一下她又有何妨？

Record 7"Is there any way to go 'bang' and make people like you all of a sudden?" Belka sprawled herself on my desk. The question seemed to be weighing heavily on her mind. "Who's the vic—target this time?" I was busy, so I replied without giving it much thought. "Who do you think..." Then, before I could answer, she suddenly sat up, eyes aglow. "Hmmm? What's this, Commander? Are~ you~ jelly?" I shook my head, but before I could answer, Klukai showed up and dragged her off. Before the door closed, she smiled at me... There seemed to be some secret meaning behind it. After that, Belka continued popping up around me, but she didn't plaster herself to me like before. Be it accompanying Klukai on assignments, helping Andoris optimize her processing power, or playing games with Mechty... She'd go out of her way to report to me before doing anything with anyone else, yet she took her time leaving, as though she was waiting for something. But in the end, she'd go with a frown on her face, as though what she was waiting for hadn't come. "You don't need to keep reporting all your activities to me in future. You can just go and do them." I told her when she came to find me again. "What the heck... Why isn't this turning out like I expected?" She looked like she was about to cry as she mouthed things like "jelly", "attention", "like" and so on. I was at a bit of a loss for how to react. She didn't need to do this, after all. If what she wanted was attention, surely she could just tell me, right? "You said you were going to... Eh, forget it. I just so happen to need you here. Can you stay behind to help me out?" She froze for a moment, as though she was stunned by actually getting the response she was waiting for. "Or if you're busy, I could always get someone else—" "No! Nononono! Don't get anyone else! I'm the one who should be staying behind to keep you company!"“有没有什么东西，是可以让人‘砰’的一下——就喜欢上自己的啊？” 比悠卡似乎很苦恼的样子，趴在桌子对面看我。 “又想打谁的主意了？”我忙着工作，随口接了一句。 “还有谁……”她话没说完，突然眼前一亮坐起身，“哎？指挥官，你这么问，是吃·醋·了·吗？” 我摇摇头，还没来得及回答，比悠卡就被上门来找人的可露凯给拖走了。门关上前，她冲我笑了笑……总感觉别有深意。 这之后，比悠卡虽然仍旧常常出现，却不再一直陪着我了。要陪可露凯工作、陪安朵丝锻炼算力、和米什缇玩游戏……每次和别人有活动之前，她都会来特地和我说一声，却又不急着走，好像在等什么。但她最后似乎都没等到想要的东西，于是总撇着嘴离开。 “你以后有安排不用都跟我报备的，去就好了。”她又一次来找我的时候，我这么说。 “什么嘛……怎么和我想的不一样？”她好像快哭出来了，嘴里念叨着什么“吃醋”“注意力”“喜欢”之类的话。 我有点哭笑不得。明明她不需要这么做的，想要我的关注，直接说不就好了吗？ “你说你刚刚要去……算了，不管是要去干什么，我这边正巧也需要你。你能留下来帮我吗？” 她一时怔住了，似乎是终于等来了想要的反应，反而有些不知所措。 “要是你忙的话，那我就找别人了？” “不、不行！指挥官不要找其他人！留下来陪着指挥官的人，是我才对！”

Record 8Usually, Belka would cling to me after coming back from a mission, fishing for compliments about her performance or pointing to some minor injury she'd sustained and hoping for consolation from me. However, after today's mission, I didn't see her waiting for me in the ops room. The battle had been particularly vicious due to the Collapse storm that had just hit us and I couldn't help but worry about her. The others told me that she had gone straight to the maintenance room upon coming back, but when I went to look for her, I found nobody there. All I got from Mayling was a diagnostic report. While she hadn't taken damage to any critical systems or her core, the damage to her frame was quite extensive... If the battle had gone on any longer, or if it had been any fiercer... "Belka, are you alright?" I asked as I knocked on her door. She didn't hurry over excitedly to open the door like she usually would, and only replied from inside the room in a flustered tone. "I—I'm fine! Just go, Commander!" I ignored her and pushed the door open. She was lying on the bed, and she reflexively tried to cover up her damaged body with a blanket upon seeing me. "Why are you hiding from me?" She began trying to spin a whole tale before finally giving up under my questioning. "I just... I didn't want you to think that I was unreliable! I'm sure a Doll as capable as Big Sis wouldn't get damaged in a battle like the one from just now, so if I thought that if I couldn't do that... If you thought I couldn't help you out... You wouldn't praise me anymore... Are you going to scold me now? Scold me for not telling you, for not protecting myself—" "Not at all," I interrupt. She threw herself into my arms. "Bwaaahhh, you're the best, Commander!"平常作战回来，比悠卡总是缠着我，要么希望我多夸夸她刚才的表现，要么指着“皇帝的伤口”希望能得到我的安慰。但今天结束作战后，我却没在指挥室里等到她。因为刚刚过去的坍塌风暴，这场作战比起往常来说要险恶得多，这不禁让我有些担心。 其他人告诉我她一回来就去了维修室，我前去找她却扑了个空，只从美玲那得到了一份检修报告。虽然没有危及核心部位，但机体多处受损……如果作战时间再长一点、战况再激烈一点…… “比悠卡，你还好吗？”我敲了敲她休息室的门。她没像以往那样兴冲冲地来开门，只是在屋里慌张地回应。 “我——我没事！指挥官你走吧！” 我没有理会，径直推开了门。她躺在床上，见我进来，有些慌乱地试图用毯子遮掩住受伤的素体。 “为什么要瞒着我呢？” 她起初还在顾左右而言他，在我的再三追问下，终于泄了气。 “我就是不想让指挥官觉得……觉得我不靠谱嘛！像姐姐那样的优秀人形，是不会在这样的作战中受伤的，要是我做不到……指挥官觉得我帮不上忙，就不会再夸我了……所以，指挥官会怪我吗？怪我没有告诉你，怪我没有好好保护自己——” “不会的。”我打断了她的焦虑。 她猛地扎进了我怀里。“呜呜呜，最喜欢指挥官了！”
