Moon In My Palm 1 掌心的月光1

(In a confined space with light so faint, Dushevnaya and I stand face to face; the dim light weaves an unusual atmosphere around us.)（灯光昏暗，营造出不同寻常的气氛。不算宽敞的空间中，我和杜莎妮相对而立。）

Villager (Dushevnaya)Ack, this is... most unexpected...这可真是令人吃惊……

Villager (Dushevnaya)Art thou truly sure, that thine eyes aren't mistaken? Wandering the vast lands are those whose might eclipses mine; those blessed with wit sharper than mine own... choosing me might just be a mistake, y'know?您真的愿意选择我吗？ 应该还有很多厉害的、或者聪明的人……选我的话，说不定会搞砸哦？

Lord (Commander)Uh, I think you're perfect. Just what this mission calls for.呃，我觉得你就很好啊，正好符合这次任务的需求。

Villager (Dushevnaya)Ugh... not like that! Commander, you've got to be more immersed—you've got to roleplay!唔……不对啦！ 指挥官，要更——更沉浸才对，要角色扮演！

(Dushevnaya tugs at the bedsheet tied around her chest and puffs out her cheeks.)（杜莎妮揪着系在胸前的床单，鼓起脸颊。）

(I look at the mop in my hand—a magical scepter by any other name—and scratch the back of my head.)（我看了看握在手里充当权杖的拖把，挠了挠后脑勺。）

Lord (Commander)More immersed... But it's not like I have any idea how a Lord should talk? The best I can do is an impression of a bounty hunter.沉浸……可是我也不知道领主该怎么说话啊？我好像只能沉浸赏金猎人。

Villager (Dushevnaya)A Lord would say something along the lines of, "Thou art the one spoken of in the prophecy, the hero that I so requireth", no?领主应该说“你正是被写在预言之书上的人，是我所需要的勇士”，这样。

(I stumble through the words. Speaking in such a manner is no easy feat for me.)（我咽了咽口水，将这样的话说出口对我来说并不简单。）

Lord (Commander)Prithee, I wish for thy aid—o legendary hero.你正是我所需要的勇士。

Villager (Dushevnaya)Your faith unto mine is of a luminous glow, a light so radiant that illuminates the darkest depths; thoust granteth thee the glimmers of hope in this life so devoid of radiance.您的信任就像深海中的磷光，在我黑暗的人生中投下为数不多的光芒。

Villager (Dushevnaya)Verily, I shall respond to thine unwavering faith in kind!既然如此，我一定不会辜负您的信任！

Lord (Commander)Please don't say that your life is devoid of radiance... Regardless, let us hasten our departure!不要说自己的人生黑暗吧…… 先不说这个，总之我们赶快出发吧！

(I can't help but sigh in relief as the roleplaying section seems to be coming to an end.)（剧情似乎快要结束了，我不禁松了口气。）

Villager (Dushevnaya)Commander, we still have the ceremony to do. The one I told you about before we started, remember? The ordination!指挥官，还有仪式呢，开始之前我跟你说的那个，骑士的授勋仪式！

Lord (Commander)Eh? Ah... That, huh. Do we really have to...欸？啊……那个啊，真的要做吗……

(I look at the mop in my hand. Slowly, I reach out with the handle and tap Dushevnaya as gently as I can on her head.)（我看了看手中的拖把，缓缓地将拖把杆伸出去，尽量轻地敲在了杜莎妮的头顶。）

(It makes a soft "boop", which is quickly followed by Dushevnaya's ears twitching.)（“邦”的一声。杜莎妮头顶的耳朵动了动。）

DushevnayaUgh...唔……

CommanderWell?怎么样？

(Dushevnaya frowns with such intensity that her face looks as if it had been smashed together.)（杜莎妮眉头紧皱，五官都挤在了一起。）

Dushevnaya...M-My neural records are still completely barren!……我、我的心智记录扇区仍然是不毛之地啊！

DushevnayaCould we have gone about the ceremony all wrong? The only things I can piece together are but ambiguous details...是不是仪式不对啊！我查到的资料还是太模糊了……

CommanderThe ceremony really shouldn't affect the outcome, I think.仪式应该对整体效果没太大的影响吧。

(I flick the light switch on in the dormitory and toss the mop aside. Afterwards, I sit down on the bed and pat the spot by my side, gesturing for her to join me.)（我按开休息室的灯源开关，把手里的拖把扔到一边，在床上坐下，拍了拍身边的位置示意她坐过来。）

(Dushevnaya yanks off the bedsheet draped over her shoulders. The parts of her body that are not covered by synthetic skin shimmer faintly under the light. She lets out a deep sigh as she sits down.)（杜莎妮赌气一般用力扯掉披在肩上的床单，素体上未包裹人造皮肤的部分，在光线下反射着微弱的光芒。她坐下时，重重地叹了口气。）

Dushevnaya(Sigh)... I thought reenacting the past would help bring back something... That's what happens in all the heroic tales... like, their dormant memories are suddenly brought back when they witness a similar scene or something like that...唉……我还以为重演过去的情景，能让我想起点什么呢…… 勇者故事里都是这样说的啊，看到与过去类似的情景就突然唤醒了沉睡的记忆，什么的。

CommanderNo, the me of the past wouldn't have hit you on the head with a mop.不，过去的我也不会用拖把敲你。

DushevnayaH-Hey, this is my own adaptation!这、这是我自己美化过后的版本！

DushevnayaI know for a fact that I myself would be altering and rewriting my neural records of real events to a degree... Which means recreating MY version of the events should do a better job at bringing back the memories!总觉得是我的话，会在心智里对事实情况进行适当的改编…… 如果按照我的版本重现，唤醒效果应该更好才对啊！

(Dushevnaya grumpily buries her face into the pillow she's holding, leaving only her drooping ears poking out like a sad wee pup.)（杜莎妮赌气一般把脸埋进了怀里的枕头，只漏出两只耷拉着的兽耳，像小狗一样。）

DushevnayaI've tried Suomi's music therapy, as well as Nemesis' meditation... Neither of them worked.索米提议的音乐疗法也用过了，纳美西丝的冥想也试过了……全都不行啊。

DushevnayaWhat else can I do... How can I reclaim those lost fragments of the past...怎么办呢，究竟还有什么办法可以找回我丢失的时光的碎屑……

(Every now and then, even I would stumble upon once-vibrant memories that have long since become distant and faded, almost as if they were not mine to begin with.)（即使是我，经过漫长的时光后，也会时不时觉得，那些曾经鲜艳的记忆褪去了色彩，陌生得仿佛是另外一个人的。）

(I suppose that Dushevnaya, who has lost all her memories of the past, would find something like that far more disturbing.)（完全遗忘过去的杜莎妮应该会更加不安吧。）

(I rub her ears gently.)（我揉了揉她的耳朵。）

CommanderDon't worry, Dushevnaya.别着急，杜莎妮。

CommanderWhile Griffin most certainly deleted your neural backup after you left, we can at least track down the company you joined after leaving Griffin. They might still have a backup of you, or at least more clues for us.虽然格里芬这边，在你离开之后已经删除了你的心智备份，但至少可以查询到你当时离开格里芬后入职的公司，那里可能会有你的心智备份，或者至少是更多线索。

(Her ears perk up and turn toward me.)（兽耳弹动了一下支棱了起来，转向我这边。）

DushevnayaHave you... asked them for me, Commander? Those people at Griffin...指挥官你……帮我问了吗？问了格里芬的人？

CommanderYes. I've contacted Griffin's current supervisor, Miss Helian, through Frostfall Squad. We should get an answer very soon.嗯，我通过霜降小队联络了格里芬现在的负责人赫丽安小姐。应该不久之后就会有消息了。

DushevnayaMiss Helian... Is this Miss Helian someone that I used to know?赫丽安女士……这位赫丽安女士，也是我之前认识的人吗？

(Dushevnaya looks up at me, her gaze filled with bewilderment.)（杜莎妮抬起头，眼神有点茫然地看向我。）

CommanderYeah, she's my old superior. I've received no shortage of help from her in the past.对，她是老员工了，我当初也受她不少关照。

DushevnayaOkay... Commander, I really can't thank you enough.嗯……指挥官，真不知道怎么感谢你才好。

DushevnayaNot just for trying to help me recover my memories. After our reunion, the ties to my past grow ever clearer. I finally felt as though... I was no longer a Doll, all on my lonesome, adrift without roots or a place to return to!不单因为帮我找回记忆这件事，与你重逢后，我与过去的连接也逐渐清晰，我觉得自己终于……终于不再是一个没有来处和归处的孤单人形了！

(Dushevnaya leans on my shoulder; the tips of her furry ears brushing against my cheek.)（杜莎妮斜靠在我肩膀上，毛茸茸的耳朵尖扫过我的脸颊。）

DushevnayaIt's really nice... being able to stay beside you like this, Commander. It's like cuddling close to a campfire on a winter night.真好啊，像现在这样待在指挥官身边……感觉就像坐在冬夜里的篝火边上呢。

CommanderThe Elmo's interior is climate-controlled. I don't suppose there's a need for a campfire.艾莫号内部的温度是恒定的，不需要篝火吧？

DushevnayaYou really can't read the room, huh, Commander? I'm saying that you make others feel, um, warm…真是不解风情啊指挥官……我是在说指挥官总是让人感到、唔、感到很温暖啦……

(Dushevnaya abruptly falls silent.)（杜莎妮的声音突兀地停止了。）

CommanderWhat is it?怎么了？

DushevnayaCommander, you're like—指挥官，就像是——

CommanderLike what?什么？

DushevnayaWell, hehe. It's a secret!唔、嘿嘿，保密！

Commander...……

DushevnayaAnyway, Commander. Let's get on with the next scenario!不说这个了，指挥官，我们来扮演下一个场景吧！

(The subject changed so abruptly that I could barely register and process her little emotional episode.)（话题转换得太快，我来不及思考刚刚察觉到的她的情绪不对劲到底是怎么回事。）

CommanderAnother bout of roleplay? Hasn't it proved useless?还要扮演？不是没用吗？

DushevnayaIt'll totally work this time!万一这次就有用了呢！

DushevnayaThis time around, let me play the role of a knight willing to sacrifice everything to protect you, my master!这次，就扮演作为骑士的我，赌上一切来保护作为主人的指挥官吧！

(My mind goes blank for a brief moment, and in my stupor, Dushevnaya quickly dons herself with the bedsheet once more, fixing her gaze on mine with wide, puppy eyes.)（我的大脑短暂地呆滞了两秒，在这期间，杜莎妮迅速地披好了床单，并用小狗一样的眼神紧紧盯着我的脸。）

(Ultimately, I pick up the mop thrown aside in tacit silence.)（最终，我沉默地捡起了扔在一边的拖把。）

Moon In My Palm 2 掌心的月光2

(I enter one of Elmo's many storage rooms and turn on the main switch.)（我推开艾莫号的某一间仓库，打开照明总开关。）

(In one corner, a petite figure suddenly jumps into the air, followed by the sound of an assortment of items hitting the floor.)（房间一角，小小的身影弹了起来，同时传来各种杂物散落在地面的声音。）

DushevnayaC-C-C-Comm—Commander!?指指指指——指挥——指挥官！

CommanderOh—My apologies, did I startle you?哦——抱歉，吓到你了吗？

(I adjust the switch, leaving just enough light for my night-vision-lacking human eyesight to still be able to see.)（我关掉部分光源，留下能让我这没有夜视功能的人类视觉系统也看得清的光线。）

(I carefully avoid the clutter as I approach her.)（我小心躲避着杂物，向她靠近。）

DushevnayaI-I'm fine, Commander. Please, tread carefully. Slowly, steadily... Wait, why are you here?我、我没事的指挥官，你小心，慢慢过来……怎么突然到这种地方来啊？

CommanderI'm looking for you.我在找你。

CommanderMayling says the joint lubricant you ordered arrived, but she couldn't find you. I got a little worried myself too... Anyway, what are you doing here?美玲说你定的关节养护油到了，但到处都找不到你，我也有点担心……你在这里做什么呢？

(I grab Dushevnaya's outstretched hand and step over the last crate to stand beside her.)（我拉住杜莎妮伸过来的手，跨过最后一个杂物箱，站到她身边。）

(An easel lies on the ground, surrounded by painting implements laying strewn.)（一个画架倒在旁边，周围是四散的画具。）

CommanderWere you... painting?你在画画吗？

DushevnayaI-I was just picturing some inconsequential fate.我——只是在描绘一些无足轻重的命运罢了。

(I kneel down and pick up a stack of papers covered in dried paint from the floor.)（我蹲下身，从地上拿起一沓颜料已经干涸的画纸。）

CommanderWhat's this? A desert? A view of the Yellow Zone?这幅画的是，沙漠？是黄区的景色吗？

DushevnayaEhhh, perhaps? Actually, I'm not too sure either...唔，大概是吧，其实我也不太确定……

CommanderAnd this is the night sky? You don't get to see such a clear, starry night sky often in contamination zones.这幅是星空？污染区可不太能经常见到这么晴朗的星空啊。

DushevnayaYeah... M-My paintings aren't very good... Stop looking at them, Commander...嗯……我、我画得不好的，指挥官还是别看了……

CommanderI think they're all pretty neat... What's this one? The sea...?我觉得画得挺好啊……这幅是什么？是……大海？

(Dushevnaya leans over the paintings, trying to cover them up. I manage to pull one painting from underneath her knees; one with a muted color palette and seemingly depicting shimmering lights reflecting off the waves.)（杜莎妮趴在画上，想要将它们收拢起来，我从她的膝盖下面抽出一副色调昏暗的画。上面似乎描绘了波光之上反射的一点微光。）

DushevnayaNo... It's from the bottom of the ocean... When one looks up from the depths.不，是水底……从水底向上看到的景象。

CommanderThe bottom?水底？

Dushevnaya...I-It's most strange, no? Despite not having any recollection of diving underwater—at least not within my current neural records—I keep having dreams like this...……很、很奇怪是不是？指挥官，我明明没有潜进水底的经历……至少现在的心智记录里是没有的，但是却……却一直做这样的梦……

(I turn around to look at Dushevnaya, where she uneasily avoids my gaze. It's hard to make out her expression in the dim light; all I can see is her tears glistening as they well up in her eyes.)（我转过头看向身旁的杜莎妮，她不安地避开了我的目光。昏暗的灯光下看不清她的表情，只能看到她的眼睛泛着湿漉漉的水光。）

CommanderAre these all scenes from your dreams? Have you been dreaming a lot lately?这些都是你梦里的场景吗？你最近经常做梦？

DushevnayaYeah, but it's not something recent... I've been dreaming occasionally ever since joining the Elmo... But... Dolls aren't supposed to dream, right?嗯，也不是最近啦……从正式加入艾莫号开始，就偶尔会做了。但是人形……不该会做梦的吧？

CommanderI see... Well, a Doll's "dreams" are usually just their neural cloud organizing and consolidating pieces of information. Actually, why don't you tell me more about them? There may be clues to recovering your memories.这样啊……人形的“梦”，大部分都是因为心智在整理和统合碎片信息，要不，你和我讲讲都是怎么样的梦？说不定其中也有修复你心智记录的线索。

DushevnayaWould there really be any clues? They're all really weird dreams...真的会有线索吗？只是一些很奇怪的梦境哦……

CommanderTell me about them first.先说说看。

(I promptly sit on the floor with my back against the crate and assume the posture of a careful listener. Seeing how determined I was, Dushevnaya hesitates for a moment before also sitting down with her knees in her arms.)（我干脆坐到地上，背靠杂物箱，摆出洗耳恭听的姿势。杜莎妮看我这么干脆，犹豫了一下也抱着膝盖坐了下来。）

DushevnayaAt first, I woke up and was surrounded by darkness, in what seemed like an evil dragon's lair. I soon realized, however, that I was underwater.一开始，我睁开眼睛，四周很暗，就像禁锢恶龙的洞穴一样，我很快就明白过来，我在水底。

DushevnayaAnd that's because... I felt as if I was slowly suffocating. But that's odd, right? It's not like we Dolls breathe in the first place. Yet that sensation was so tangible—as if time had fashioned itself into a blade to impale me thusly!这是因为……我有窒息的感觉，但是，这很奇怪对吧？毕竟人形又不需要呼吸。可那种感觉又很真实，那就像是——像是时间变成了利刃将我刺穿的感觉！

(I notice Dushevnaya trembling, and so I reach out and pat the top of her head.)（我注意到杜莎妮在微微颤抖着，于是伸手摸了摸她的头顶。）

CommanderIt's alright. It's only a dream.没关系的，只是梦而已。

DushevnayaMm... In my dream, I saw a hazy glow on the surface of the water, akin to the sparkling dust left behind from a fairy's flight. The shimmering light looked like it was calling out to me, so I swam as hard as I could to the surface. Guess what I saw then, Commander?嗯、嗯……梦里的我看到水面上朦胧的光芒，就像精灵飞过后洒下的鳞粉，闪烁的微光似乎在向我呼喊，于是我努力地往水面游去。接着，指挥官你猜我看到了什么？

CommanderThe night sky depicted in this painting?是这幅画上描绘的星空吗？

(I point towards one of the papers scattered on the floor, on which the many stars sparkling in the dark night sky are depicted.)（我指了指散落在地面上的画纸中的一张，其上描绘的，正是在黑暗夜空闪烁的点点繁星。）

DushevnayaYeah, that's the one!对，就是这个！

DushevnayaStrangely, I found myself buried in sand and not water after I surfaced. Though it didn't strike me as being odd at the time, as if that was par for the course...而且，浮上来后，我发现自己其实是被埋在沙子里的，不是水里，但我当时也没觉得奇怪，似乎这是理所当然的……

DushevnayaMy attention was completely drawn to the sky above. That scenery, that night sky filled with stars was just breathtaking no matter how many times you look at it... Yet, I cannot help but feel a little upset.我的注意力完全在头顶的星空，那样的画面不管看几次都觉得非常震撼，那么多的星星……但是接着我又觉得很难过。

CommanderWhy so?为什么难过？

DushevnayaBecause none of those stars had been the glow I saw from underneath the waves.因为那些星光都不是我在水下看到的光。

DushevnayaThat light was softer, like a veil waving over the waters of the fae's lands... Alas, none of that starlight belonged to me.那束光要更加柔和，像在仙境湖水上拂过的轻纱……总之，这些星星的光芒都不是属于我的。

(Though I can't fully grasp the meaning of her words, by picturing the scene she witnessed, the sadness and bewilderment seated deeply within her heart seem to seep into my own mind.)（虽然不能完全理解杜莎妮的意思，但想象着她看到的景象，她心中的悲伤与茫然，似乎顺着话语流转到了我的脑海中。）

DushevnayaAnd suddenly, exhaustion overcame me as the winds of weariness swept through my mind. I became so drowsy that I couldn't lift my arms...我突然就觉得好累，疲倦的风席我的心智，我困得手都抬不起来……

CommanderSounds like a magical trap of debilitation spoken of in many tales.这听上去很像冒险故事里的陷阱效果啊。

(I attempt to lighten the atmosphere.)（我有心活跃气氛。）

DushevnayaRight?! I was thinking the same!对吧对吧，我和指挥官想的一样！

DushevnayaHowever, despite knowing I couldn't just fall asleep like that, there were still a couple of times where I was unable to control my body to put up any modicum of resistance. My consciousness slowly sank into the sand... I then realized I had returned from whence I came, to the bottom of the ocean, where I slowly lost consciousness...但是，虽然心里想着不能睡，还是有几次完全无法控制素体做出反抗，逐渐陷进沙子里……这时我发现自己又回到了水底，渐渐失去意识……

Commander...……

(Even in her dreams, she struggles through hardship just to survive. I can't help but be worried about Dushevnaya, who vividly dreams of such perturbing sights. Is her "subconscious" pushing herself too hard? What could such dreams possibly mean?)（即使在梦中，也不得不奋力挣扎才能有一线生机，我对做了这样沉重梦境的杜莎妮感到担忧。她是否在“潜意识”中把自己逼得太紧了？这样的梦境又意味着什么？）

(I'm no expert on Doll neural clouds, maybe I should take this chance and get—)（我不是人形心智领域的专家，也许应该找机会咨询一下——）

(A tactile sensation originating from my palm interrupts my inner monologue. Dushevnaya pulls my hand that was patting her head down and rubs it against her cheek.)（手心传来的触感打断了我的思路。杜莎妮拉过我放在她头顶的手，用脸颊蹭了蹭。）

Commander...Is something wrong?……怎么了？

DushevnayaI-I saw your brows wrinkle like the many valleys of Tartarus, and was worried you'd fall into it... My body is bereft of any synthetic skin beyond this face of mine, so...因、因为看指挥官眉头皱得像无法跨越的幽冥之谷，我担心指挥官跌落其中……我身上其他地方都没包人造皮肤，只有脸还比较柔软，所以……

CommanderWhy're you the one getting worried? I'm okay.怎么变成你来担心我了？我没事的。

DushevnayaUhm, oh! I'll keep going then.嗯、嗯！那我就接着说咯。

DushevnayaActually, I don't always sink into complete darkness. There were times I was on the verge of giving up, when suddenly, a ray of moonlight would shine on a dune not far away... just like this one.其实，我也不是每次都陷入深沉的黑暗之中。有那么几次，当我快要放弃的时候，一束月光照在了不远处的沙丘上……就像这样。

(Dushevnaya sets a painting depicting the scenery of the desert in front of me. The moon is absent from the composition, but its hazy radiance illuminates the tips of the dunes in the distance.)（杜莎妮将一副描绘沙原风景的画放在了我面前。画面上虽然没有画出月亮，但朦胧的光辉映照在远处的沙丘顶端。）

CommanderThe moonlight sure is beautiful.很美的月光。

DushevnayaYeah... at that moment, I thought: "Ah, 'tis moonlight mine. Heigh, I reach to grasp thee, ye who shine down upon me..." Such thoughts gradually overcame the overwhelming sense of exhaustion. The intrepid hero overcomes the trap that so impaired them!是啊……我当时就想着，那就是我的月光，我要接近它，让它照在我的身上……这样的念头逐渐超过了疲惫感，于是无畏的勇者挣脱了束缚，逃出陷阱！

CommanderAnd then? Did you manage to catch that moonlight?然后呢？那道月光，你追到了吗？

(I expected an answer full of assurance. Instead, I see Dushevnaya rest her chin on her knees, her gaze lowered.)（我本以为会得到一个肯定的答复，却看到杜莎妮把下巴搁在了膝盖上，眼神低垂了下去。）

DushevnayaIn my dreams, the sand was a foe most formidable. Even the slightest lapse of attention caused it to drag me down. By the time I managed to catch up to the moonlight, it reappeared in the distance in the blink of an eye.梦里的沙子就像邪恶的泥沼，只要我稍不注意就会吸住我的素体，让我向下沉陷，当我好不容易靠近了那束月光，却一眨眼的功夫发现它又出现在远处……

DushevnayaNo matter how much I tried, I could never reach it. The closest I got was less than an arm's length, but my legs just won't budge any further... Ah, my form was left flat on the sand, only able to crawl towards that which was so close yet so far...无论努力了多少次，我都没办法接触到它，最近的一次只剩下不到一米的距离，我实在走不动了……只好趴在沙子里，伸手去够……

DushevnayaAnd then I got swallowed up by the sand! I was so close, so very close!然后我就被沙子吸进去了！就差一点，就差一点点！

(I hold Dushevnaya's hand to stop her from slapping her thighs out of frustration.)（我握住杜莎妮的手，阻止她继续不甘心地拍打自己的大腿。）

CommanderIt's alright, it's alright. It's only a dream. We can work it out next time.好、好，没关系的，反正是梦，下次再努力也可以嘛。

DushevnayaBut I always felt that if I could reach that ray, it would make a difference, somehow...可是，我总觉得如果能触碰到那束光，一定会有什么不同的……

CommanderHmm, perhaps there are some prerequisites that have yet to be fulfilled.嗯，可能是还有什么必要的条件没有达成。

CommanderNo need to be too upset. I think being able to achieve all you have is already an amazing feat.不用太在意，我觉得你能在梦境之中做到这一步，已经很了不起了。

DushevnayaEh? Is... is that so?欸？是……是这样吗？

CommanderYeah. Don't stress yourself over it. If we can find more clues, maybe the dreams will change as well.嗯，不要着急，如果我们能找到更多线索，梦境也会发生改变吧。

DushevnayaDon't you think... I'm an odd one, Commander? You don't suppose that there are many Dolls who dream of such weird things out there, do you...?指挥官你……不觉得我很，很奇怪吗？会做这种奇怪梦境的人形，应该也没多少吧……

CommanderWhy would I find a hero who's fighting to save herself "an odd one"?我为什么会觉得努力自救的勇者奇怪？

CommanderYou're brave and strong, Dushevnaya, in both dreams and the waking world.我觉得你很勇敢，杜莎妮，不管是在梦里，还是在现实。

(Dushevnaya's eyes brighten up, a wide smile blooming on her face.)（杜莎妮的眼睛亮了起来，灿烂的笑容在她的脸上绽开。）

DushevnayaIs that so, Commander?! Hehe, you're truly my worthy adventure party member!指挥官，真的这样想吗！嘿嘿，不愧是我选中的冒险伙伴呀！

CommanderOf course, with that in mind, you can just tell this partner of yours when something's wrong in the future. No need to hide it.所以，以后有什么烦恼可以直接告诉我这个冒险伙伴，不需要偷偷藏起来。

CommanderOf course, I'm all for painting. Why don't we find a place with a nice view to sketch next time? How about that?当然画画我是很支持的，不如下次找个风景好的地方来写生吧，怎么样？

DushevnayaOkay! Let me paint a portrait of you then, Commander!嗯！那到时候，也让我给指挥官画一幅肖像吧！

Moon In My Palm 3 掌心的月光3

(I tread through the soft grass and approach Dushevnaya who stands not too far away.)（我踩过松软的草地，向不远处的杜莎妮靠近。）

DushevnayaAlright—don't move! As a proud member of the adventurer party, you have to carry yourself with great maturity!好啦——别乱动！作为冒险者小队的一员，你可不能表现得这么不成熟！

DushevnayaGood boy, that's better—Woah!很好，这才对嘛——哎呀！

PuppyWoof woof!汪汪！

(The drenched sheepdog pup barks loudly. Irrepressible instinct sends its body into a quivering mess as droplets of water soak Dushevnaya.)（被水管浇湿的牧羊犬幼崽响亮地吠了两声，无法克制的本能让它的身体快速旋转起来，毛发上的水珠大多落在杜莎妮身上。）

DushevnayaFie on thee, you evil pup!你这个邪恶小狗！

(I pick up a clean towel nearby and rest it on top of Dushevnaya's head to dry her damp hair.)（我拿起旁边干净的毛巾，搭在杜莎妮的头顶，搓揉她湿漉漉的头发。）

DushevnayaAh—?!唔——？！

CommanderIf you don't dry it off—Uhh, I don't suppose that Dolls can catch a cold, but it's not ideal for your frame either, right?不擦干的话——呃，人形虽然不会感冒，但也对素体状态不好吧。

DushevnayaOh. Right!哦、嗯！

DushevnayaHath thou been met with success, Commander? Did you get the intel?指挥官，任务已经结束了吗？拿到情报啦？

(Dushevnaya purposely lowers her voice as she poses the question, as if she's an undercover agent partaking in a secret rendezvous. I oblige, whispering into her ear in reply.)（杜莎妮刻意压低声音问我，好像在模仿秘密接头的人，我也故意小声贴着她的耳朵回复。）

CommanderYes. I've acquired the contact of the director of the company you once worked for.嗯，关于你曾经任职的公司负责人，我已经拿到联系方式了。

DushevnayaWonderful! Thank you, my best adventure party member!太好啦！谢谢你，我最好的冒险伙伴！

PuppyWoof—!汪——！

(Dushevnaya suddenly pounces and hugs me. For some reason, the pup halfway through its bath also lunges at me excitedly. Now, all three of us are soaking wet.)（杜莎妮突然扑上来抱住我，不知为何，旁边澡洗到一半的小狗也兴奋地扑向我，这下我们三个全都湿漉漉的了。）

CommanderUgh...呃……

DushevnayaAh—Ah! S-Sorry, Commander. You, uh... you come here!啊——啊！对、对不起，指挥官，你，嗯……你到这里来！

(Dushevnaya takes me to sit down on a patch of grass. The bright sunshine in the satellite city pours over my body, making it hard to keep my eyes open.)（杜莎妮拉着我在一片草地上坐下，卫星城明媚的阳光洒在我身上，有点睁不开眼。）

DushevnayaJust sit here and don't move. It'll dry out in no time.你就坐在这里不要动，马上就会晒干的。

DushevnayaGive me a second, I'll come back as soon as I get that little rascal all cleaned up!等我一下，我把邪恶小狗洗干净就来，很快的！

CommanderNo need for my help?不需要我帮忙吗？

DushevnayaNo, no. You just sit around, Commander!不用不用，指挥官你坐着就好！

(And so, I sit in the warm sunshine and watch as Dushevnaya duels with the pup.)（于是，我坐在温暖的阳光里，看着杜莎妮和灰扑扑的小狗斗智斗勇。）

(Perhaps due to her influence, I start to picture Dushevnaya donned in gorgeous armor and a legendary sword fighting a vicious dragon in my head. I then shake my head to dispel the illusion.)（或许是受她影响，我脑内浮现出穿着华丽的杜莎妮拿着宝剑与恶龙搏斗的情景。我摇摇头，驱散幻想。）

(Dushevnaya the Hero didn't keep me waiting for long.)（勇者杜莎妮果然没让我等太久。）

DushevnayaLook, Commander, we're done. His spirit has been well purified.指挥官你看，我洗好啦，它现在是纯洁小狗了。

PuppyWoo—woof!呜——汪！

(Dushevnaya runs over, holding the pup. Its fur is as white as snow, much like Dushevnaya's hair. Its ears are perked up, flicking and flinging droplets of water all around.)（杜莎妮举着小狗跑过来。小狗的毛发变得雪白，与杜莎妮的发色非常相似，竖在头顶的耳朵弹动着甩出水珠。）

CommanderTurns out it was a white pup this whole time...原来是只纯白色的小狗啊……

DushevnayaHehe. I've purged all evil from it, so let's go and have it dry out here with us, Commander!嘿嘿，邪恶的气息已经被我净化干净了，就让它和指挥官一起在这里晒干吧！

(Dushevnaya sits down beside me and places the pup with half-dried fur between us. I reach out and tickle the top of its head.)（杜莎妮在我身边坐下来，将毛发半干的小狗放在我们之间。我伸出手，挠了挠它的头顶。）

DushevnayaHuh? Do you like him, Commander?咦？指挥官，你很喜欢它吗？

CommanderWell... don't you think the two of you look a lot like each other? From the ears, to the color of your hair.嗯……你不觉得，它和你很像吗？耳朵，还有毛色。

DushevnayaMe? No way... Look at me, I'm all heroic and handsome; he's but a small, frail puppy.和我？也没有很像吧……我这么英勇帅气！而它还只是一只弱小的小狗崽而已……

CommanderBut pray tell, did he not fare well against this mighty hero?可是它刚刚和勇者大人打得有来有回哦。

PuppyWoof!汪汪！

DushevnayaI-I was afraid of injuring him! Woah—那是——那是我怕伤到它啦！呜哇——

(The puppy, seemingly unwilling to show any weakness, starts to make a ruckus. He climbs up my shoulder, tugging at my shirt as he does.)（小狗好像也不想示弱，突然闹腾起来，扒拉着我的衣服爬上了我的肩膀。）

DushevnayaUgh... you wretched beast, you're getting Commander's clothes all wet again!呜……可恶的小狗，这样不是又把指挥官的衣服弄湿了吗！

(I take the pup off my shoulder and hold him belly up in my lap. The pup calms down and stares at me with his big bright eyes.)（我把肩头的小狗摘下来，肚皮朝上按在膝盖上。小狗安静下来，明亮的大眼睛盯着我看。）

CommanderLet it be. He's just looking for some pampering. Besides, you two have the exact same eyes when doing so. Look.算了，它也只是想撒娇而已。而且，你看，这个眼神也和你一模一样啊。

(Dushevnaya leans in and rests her chin on my shoulder, staring at the pup.)（杜莎妮凑过来，下巴放在我的肩头上，望向小狗。）

DushevnayaHmm... the exact same?嗯……一模一样？

CommanderThe exact same.一模一样。

PuppyWoof!汪！

(After playing around like that for a while, my recently dried clothes have become mostly damp again. The two of us and the pup simply lay down on the grass to bask in the sunlight.)（这样玩闹了一阵，我刚晒干的衣服又湿了大半，我们两人一狗干脆在草地上躺下，更充分地接受阳光的照射。）

(Unlike the contamination zones, the weather in satellite city is strictly monitored and regulated; a most facetious facade of overwhelmingly bright and sunny.)（和污染区不同，卫星城的天气被严格监控和管理着，明媚得有一丝虚假。）

CommanderDo we have anything to handle after this?等下还有别的事情要做吗？

DushevnayaThere are. Shear the sheep, milk the cows and roll the haystacks.有，要给羊群剪毛，还要挤牛奶、卷干草垛。

CommanderAre those our jobs as well?这些事也要我们做吗？

DushevnayaHave you forgotten, Commander? We're supposedly here to help out with the farm, otherwise our true goal of secret intel gathering would be exposed.指挥官你忘了吗，我们名义上可是来农场帮忙的，要不偷偷来拿情报的事情不就暴露了嘛。

CommanderDo we really need to cover it up so diligently...?真的需要这么认真地掩盖吗……

(I glance at Dushevnaya, realizing both her and the pup's eyes are slowly shutting. The droplets of water on her white lashes scatter the sunlight into its many constituent colors.)（我侧头看向杜莎妮，发现她和小狗一样眯起了眼睛。她白色睫毛上的水珠被阳光照成了彩色。）

(I simply close my eyes as well.)（我干脆也闭上了眼睛。）

DushevnayaCommander.指挥官。

CommanderYes?嗯？

DushevnayaI've made a decision.我做了一个决定。

DushevnayaI... I think, if I still can't recover my neural records this time around, I'll just let go of my past.我……我想，如果这次还是没办法找回心智记录的话，我就放下过去。

Commander...……

(I'm taken aback, but don't reply or open my eyes.)（我有点吃惊，但没有说什么，也没有睁开眼睛。）

DushevnayaOf course, if I happen to come across an opportunity in the future, I'd still try to recover it. However, I don't want you to go through so much trouble just for me... A-After all, your presence right now, and the future we're forging together is what matters to me the most, Commander.当然，如果之后恰好碰到恢复记录的机会，我还是会去尝试的，但是我不想指挥官为我的事情这么费心了……毕竟，毕竟眼前的指挥官，还有和指挥官一起创造的未来，才是最重要的。

Commander...……

DushevnayaAre you even listening, Commander? You can't be asleep already...指挥官，你在听吗？不会是睡着了吧……

(I sense a shade blocking the sunlight from my face, so I reach out with my eyes closed and pat the top of her head, as I always do.)（我感觉到一片阴影遮住了我脸上的阳光，于是我闭着眼睛伸出手，像往常一样揉了揉她的头顶。）

DushevnayaFie... How dare you play pretend!呜哇……竟然装睡……！

(I'm not pretending to be asleep, I'm just pondering over her tone and her phrasing... They reveal far more than her words ever could.)（我没有装睡，只是在思考，她的语气和措辞……其中透露出的信息，比她的语言更多。）

(I open my eyes and look up at her.)（我睁开眼睛，看向上方的她。）

CommanderWhy make such a decision so abruptly? Weren't you really eager to recover your past memories before?为什么突然做这样的决定，你之前不是很想找回过去的记忆吗？

DushevnayaIt's true that I still want to find my lost memories, but... I've been contemplating it myself for a long time—the Commander's time is precious, I can't make him spend all of it dealing with my problems... That's... not nice...确实，我仍然还是想找回过去的记忆，但是……我自己也考虑很久啦，指挥官的时间有限，不能全都花在我的事情上，这样……不好……

DushevnayaBesides, you must not appreciate seeing me wandering around in a dark maze, right? I-I want to stop making you work around the clock for my sake, Commander...更何况，指挥官一定也不喜欢在黑暗的迷宫中游荡的感觉吧，我、我不想让指挥官为我的事情这么劳神劳力的了……

CommanderI'm helping you out of my own volition, you know? I can't just leave you, uh, wandering around the maze by yourself, can I? No need to be so courteous.可是帮你也是我自愿的，我总不能放你一个人，呃，在迷宫里乱走吧？对我不需要这么客气。

DushevnayaIt's not me being courteous. I—I just fear that—不是客气，是我——我害怕——

CommanderFear? Fear what?害怕？怕什么？

DushevnayaFear that... that cobblestone, always shrouded by the dark mist... will one day find itself defenestrated...害怕……萦绕着黑雾的鹅卵石，终有一天会被……抛出窗外……

(I can't make sense of what Dushevnaya is trying to convey, but I could pick up on the uneasiness in her words.)（我没完全听懂杜莎妮的意思，但能从她的话语里察觉到不安的情绪。）

(Is she worried that she'll be thrown out like the "cobblestone"? Of course I won't abandon her, but what can I say to reassure her...?)（她是在担心自己会像“鹅卵石”一样，被抛弃吗？我当然不会抛弃她，可是，要如何才能安抚她心中的不安……）

CommanderI... respect your decision. However, you need to stop overthinking right now. We still have a lot of clues on our hands, so let's follow them, and keep progressing with our investigation.我……尊重你的想法，不过，现在不用想太多，我们还有线索，先根据线索继续推进下去吧。

CommanderDushevnaya, what you're worrying about won't happen. I won't let it happen.杜莎妮，你担心的事情不会发生的，我不会让它发生。

DushevnayaAh. I understand now.嗯，我明白的。

(Dushevnaya breaks into a huge grin.)（杜莎妮露出灿烂的笑容。）

DushevnayaSo, you want to shear the sheep or milk the cows first? Commander?那指挥官想先剪羊毛，还是先挤牛奶？

(Dushevnaya takes my hand and pulls me up. The pup next to us wakes up as well.)（杜莎妮拉着我的手，将我拽起来。旁边的小狗也醒了过来。）

CommanderHmmm... Let's go with sheep shearing first? That being said, neither is as easy as they sound. Do you have any experience?嗯……先剪羊毛吧？说起来，这两项工作都不像看上去那样容易啊，你有经验吗？

DushevnayaUhh? No? But I'm sure it'll be fine. No way such tasks pose a challenge for the Hero's party!唔？没有哦，没关系啦，这种事情怎么会难住勇者小队嘛！

DushevnayaLet's go, Commander. Let us duel with those woolen beasts!走吧指挥官，现在就去挑战毛茸茸野兽！

PuppyWoof-woof!汪汪！

Moon In My Palm 4 掌心的月光4

(I trudge through the desert with great difficulty.)（我在沙地中艰难地行走。）

(I find myself in the middle of what was once a town, now only scattered ruins buried under the yellow sand with only the tallest structures visible.)（虽然这里是某处城镇的废墟，但已经基本全部被黄沙掩埋，只有原本比较高的建筑还有部分存留在沙原上。）

(Moments ago, Dushevnaya and I encountered a cluster of ELIDs on our way back to the Elmo.)（不久之前，我和杜莎妮外出返回艾莫号时，遭遇了生骸集群。）

(Dushevnaya stayed behind to hold off the ELIDs. Following a Collapse storm, the two of us got completely separated.)（杜莎妮孤身一人处理生骸时，又遭遇了坍塌风暴，我们两人就这样失散了。）

(After transmitting the jeep's signal to the Elmo, I got off the vehicle and started looking for Dushevnaya on foot.)（我将越野车的位置发送给艾莫号后，独自下车寻找杜莎妮。）

(On my wrist, the digital display indicates the location of the signal source. I cautiously move towards the blinking red dot.)（此时，手腕上的电子屏显示出信号源的位置。我向那个闪烁的红点靠拢。）

Dushevnaya...……

CommanderDushevnaya?杜莎妮？

Dushevnaya...Eh... C-Commander! Verily, might that truly be you?……欸……指、指挥官！真的，真的是指挥官吗？

(The petite figure cowering in the corner looks up.)（缩在墙角的小小身影抬起头。）

CommanderYes, it's me, Dushevnaya. Found you at last.是我，杜莎妮，总算找到你了。

Dushevnaya(Sobbing) ...C-Commander...……呜……呜呜……指、指挥官……

(Dushevnaya slowly loosens her arms and wraps them around my waist, burying her face into my chest encased in a heavy protective suit.)（杜莎妮慢慢地松开抱着膝盖的双臂，环在了我的腰上，脸埋进我被防护服严密包裹的胸膛。）

(With her hug tightening, I can feel breathing becoming difficult.)（随着她的手臂收紧，我感觉到一丝呼吸困难。）

CommanderWhat happened? What's with the crying?怎么了？怎么哭得这么厉害。

DushevnayaI thought... I thought no one would come looking for me... (Sob)我以为……我以为没有人会来了……呜……

CommanderHow could that be? It's only been 20 minutes since we got separated. Why wouldn't I come looking for you?怎么会？距离我们失散——也只过了20分钟而已啊。我怎么会不来找你？

DushevnayaB-Because I still can't recall what happened before, or even remember why in the first place! I'm that cobblestone shrouded in dark mist! Despite you helping me out like this, I still... I-I...因为——因为我想不起来之前的事！也想不起来为什么会想不起来！我就是那颗包裹着浓雾的鹅卵石，明明指挥官都这么帮我了——我、我——

(Dushevnaya starts sobbing. I caress the back of her head in silence. As I had suspected; Dushevnaya is in fear of being abandoned once again due to her past experiences. My previous words did not exactly fill her with reassurance either.)（杜莎妮呜咽起来，我沉默地抚摸她的后脑勺。果然和我之前猜测的一样，杜莎妮因为过去的经历，害怕被再次抛弃，而我之前的话语也没能完全让她安心。）

(A while passes and Dushevnaya calms down. She looks up with a trace of embarrassment in her red eyes.)（过了一会，杜莎妮冷静了下来。她抬起头，哭过的脸上露出一丝不好意思的表情。）

Dushevnaya...Sorry, Commander. I-I got a little too dramatic back there...……不好意思啊指挥官，我，我太夸张了……

CommanderI know. Anxiety and loneliness are magnified when one finds themselves alone in the desert. I've been there before.我知道，一个人在荒漠里的时候，不安和孤独的情绪会被放大，我也是这样的。

CommanderAre you still thinking about the clues?你是不是还在想，线索的事？

(We headed out for the satellite city to look for the employer Dushevnaya worked for before. Unfortunately, that company closed down long ago, and that employer's whereabouts are lost to time; this trail too is now a dead end.)（我们外出就是为了去卫星城寻找杜莎妮之前工作的老板，但很可惜，那家公司已经关闭了，那位老板也在多年前下落不明，这条线索也断了。）

DushevnayaNo. I've decided to let it go... I don't really care about it anymore... Yeah...也没有啦，我、我已经决定要放下了……所以也没那么，在意，嗯……

DushevnayaI was mostly scared of being left alone...主要还是一个人太害怕了……

CommanderI've just notified the Elmo. Mayling will send a drone to pick us up... Let me see...我刚才已经通知了艾莫号，美玲会派无人机来接我们……我看看……

CommanderThere's a structure ahead, looks like a TV tower, it's pretty tall. Why don't we wait up there?那边有个废墟，好像是电视塔，还挺高的，要不我们去上面等？

DushevnayaBut is it stable?会不会不安全？

CommanderIf it hasn't collapsed after all this time, it should be pretty sturdy. We're only gonna be here for a short while anyway.这么久还没塌，应该挺结实的吧，反正咱们也只待一会。

DushevnayaAh, okay.唔，好。

(I lead Dushevnaya towards the TV tower. Walking through the town's ruins, all covered in sand is certainly no pleasant nature walk. At some point, she becomes the one leading the way, even holding my hand as we ascend the TV tower.)（我带着杜莎妮走向电视塔。被沙土掩盖的城市废墟对我来说并不好走，不知何时，变成了她带领着我前行。当我们走上电视塔废墟时，她还牵住了我的手。）

CommanderHolding hands like this... makes walking a little awkward.牵着手……不太方便走路啊。

DushevnayaHold onto mine hand, Commander. Aye, this one will shelter thee till we reach the splendor that is the finish line!拉着我吧，指挥官，我会扫除前路的障碍，保护你走向终点的辉光！

Commander...Alright then.……好。

(We ascend the flights in silence, as if trying to conceal the embarrassment that pervaded us earlier. Dushevnaya's demeanor remains a little anxious; one moment she's clearing the path ahead, the next she's helping me brush off the grit clinging to my protective suit.)（我们沉默地向上走着，似乎是想掩盖刚才的失态，杜莎妮的态度有点急切，一会帮我扫清道路，一会帮我拍打防护服上黏着的沙砾。）

(We reach the top of the tower amidst such a bizarre mood.)（我们在这种奇妙的气氛中抵达了塔顶。）

DushevnayaCommander! The weather's superb today. All the stars are out. Look!指挥官！今天天气很好啊，有很多星星，你看！

CommanderIndeed. That small Collapse storm earlier probably blew the clouds away. What a truly rare sight to behold in the contamination zones.确实，可能刚才的小型风暴把云层吹散了吧，这可是污染区难得一见的好天气啊。

DushevnayaCommander, uh... I-I won't lose my composure like earlier anymore. I-I'll strive to become stronger! You can count on the world's most formidable Hero—指挥官，那个……我、我不会再像刚才那样，那样失态了，我会，我会努力变得更强大！你绝对可以相信世界上最厉害的勇者——

CommanderDushevnaya, I will never abandon you.杜莎妮，我不会抛弃你的。

Dushevnaya...Eh?……欸？

CommanderI will never abandon you. Even if you can't remember your past. Even if there's some kind of problem with your neural cloud.我不会因为你想不起过去而抛弃你，也不会因为你的心智可能存在的问题而抛弃你。

CommanderWhatever the reason, I will not abandon you.不管因为什么，我都不会抛弃你。

CommanderWhat you're worrying about, it will never happen; I will not let it happen.你担心的事情，永远都不会发生，我不会让它发生的。

Dushevnaya...C-Commander. Why... all of a sudden...……指、指挥官，怎么……突然……

CommanderFor all that talk about letting go of the past if you fail again, that's not what you have on your mind, right?虽然嘴上说着，这次再失败就放下过去，但这不是你真正的想法，对吧？

Dushevnaya...I...……我……

(Dushevnaya's eyes are welling up with tears again.)（杜莎妮的眼眶又湿润了起来。）

Dushevnaya...I just feel that... even as close companions, I can't make you endlessly tolerate the hassle of dealing with me... I-I don't want to lose you again, Commander...……我是觉得，就算是亲密无间的同伴，如果让对方一味地包容自己，也是不行的……我不想，我不想再失去指挥官了……

CommanderSo, when I ask for your help with something, am I just making you endlessly "tolerate the hassle"?难道我让杜莎妮帮忙做什么，就是一味地让你包容我吗？

DushevnayaNo, it's not the same! The fact that you let me board the Elmo, stopped me from wandering around like the spume in ocean waves, and treated me this well is already something that I can't reciprocate even if I give you my everything. How could I possibly cause you any more trouble...?这不一样！指挥官愿意让我登上艾莫号，让我不再像浪潮中的泡沫一般漂泊，而且对我很好，这本来就、就是即使献出一切也无法回报的了，怎么能再、再给你添麻烦……

CommanderDushevnaya, calm down and listen to me.杜莎妮，你冷静下来听我说。

(I grasp her shoulders tightly.)（我按住她的双肩。）

CommanderLike I just told you, no matter what happens, I will not leave you behind. This I solemnly swear.就像我刚才所说，不管发生什么，我都不会抛下你不管，这就是我的决定。

CommanderIf you wish to recover your lost neural records, then I'll do everything in my power to aid you. If any other wishes come to you in the future, I will do my best to grant them as well.所以，如果你想寻找丢失的心智记录，那我就尽全力帮你，如果你有想在未来实现的心愿，我也会支持你去实现。

Dushevnaya... Ah...……啊……

CommanderThat includes the adventurer roleplaying as well.就算是你想玩勇者冒险的扮演游戏，我也会陪你的。

(As the moon rises from beyond the horizon, a bright stream of moonlight falls upon us. Dushevnaya blinks, her eyes translucent tourmalines.)（月亮从地平线后升起，一束明亮的月光照在了我们身上。杜莎妮眨了眨眼睛，她的眼睛像透光的彩色碧玺。）

CommanderLook.你看。

Dushevnaya... A-At what?……什、什么？

(I press against her shoulder to make her look toward the edge of the tower. The vast sea of sand paints a great white beneath the moonlight.)（我按着她的肩膀让她看向塔台边缘。沙海正在月光之下闪耀。）

Dushevnaya...The desert, and the moonlight... So beautiful...……沙漠，还有月光，好美……

CommanderDoesn't this look like that painting of yours?是不是很像你画的那副画？

DushevnayaYeah! It's identical to that scene in my dreams... But instead of being swallowed by the sand, I'm standing here, safely, with the Commander beside me...嗯！和我梦中见到的场景一模一样……但是我，没有陷进沙子里，我和指挥官一起，安全地站在这里……

CommanderI don't know if we'll ever recover your past memories, and I won't be telling you what to do... But no matter what, I just hope you won't miss the sights along our journey, Dushevnaya.杜莎妮，我也不知道最终是否能找回你的心智记录，也不会告诉你应该怎么做……但无论如何，我只希望你不会错过路上的风景。

CommanderBesides, it's only thanks to you that we ended up scaling this TV tower, and now get to enjoy such a magnificent view. So, stop saying that you're causing me trouble.而且，多亏了你，我才会走上电视塔，才能看到这样的景色啊，不要再说什么给我添麻烦了。

DushevnayaCommander...!指挥官……！

(Under the moonlight, she turns towards me and pauses. I can see streaks of light flashing through her eyes.)（月光之中，她转过头看向我，突然停滞了下来。我看到她的眼睛中有流光闪过。）

(All of a sudden, she reaches out and touches my face.)（突然，她的手触碰了我的脸。）

DushevnayaI-I've grasped it.我、我碰到了……

CommanderGrasped what?什么？

DushevnayaI grasped it just now, the moonlight of my dreams... I finally caught up with it!我碰到了，刚才，梦中的月光……我追上它了，触碰到它了！

DushevnayaCommander, I—I remember now. Me and you, back at Griffin. You in your red uniform, standing in front of us… and those words you told me when we're on a mission together!指挥官，我——我突然想起来了，你、还有我，我们在格里芬的时候，你穿着红色的制服，站在我们面前……还有……还有我们一起执行任务时，你说过的话！

(I do not interrupt her; I simply take in the warmth she conveys through her palm and her gentle shivers. I rest my hand over her palm.)（我没有打断她，只是感受着她通过掌心传递过来的温度，还有轻轻的颤抖。我将手覆盖在她的手掌上。）

DushevnayaThere are some other scenes... in the moonlight. Not super clear... Ugh... and there's...月光中……还有一些……场景，不太清晰……唔……还有……

(Her eyes shut tightly with a contemplative expression that I find very adorable. At the same time, I'm also worried that her neural cloud won't be able to handle such intense stimulation.)（她的眼睛紧紧闭起来，一副苦思冥想的表情，让我觉得有点可爱，但也有点担心她的心智会不会承受不了这么强烈的刺激。）

CommanderAre you alright? Don't push yourself too far if it makes you feel unwell. Let's wait for your neural cloud to stabilize before—还好吗？难受的话就先别想了，等心智稳定一点再——

DushevnayaNo! W-Who knows when will be the next time I can remember any of this... I'm going to recall everything about the Commander, all of it... Ugh!不行！下次、下次能想起来的机会，不知道要到什么时候了……我要想起来，关于指挥官的事，我要全都想起来……呜！

(Dushevnaya suddenly opens her eyes. I can still see the lingering streaks of light within them.)（杜莎妮猛地睁开了眼睛，我看到她眼中还未消失的电子流光。）

DushevnayaCommander, I-I saw it! Your name, in the moonlight!指挥官，我，我看到了！月光中，我看到了你的名字！

DushevnayaI remember now, your name is—我想起来了，你的名字是——

(The familiar name twines into Dushevnaya's murmurs and quietly fades into the evening breeze. A name she knows well, but there's a clear distinction between knowing and remembering.)（熟悉的名字缠绵成杜莎妮的絮语，飘荡在晚风里。这对她并不陌生，但是知道与记起显然存在着差异。）

(On this particular night, the moonlight returned to the moon, and the adventurer reclaimed her fondest treasure.)（在这个夜晚，月光归还给了月亮，冒险者也寻回了她最好的珍宝。）

Covenant 铭契

DushevnayaThis... means that the bond of fate between us is even stronger now, right?这样……就代表着我和指挥官之间的命运链接，更加稳固了，对吗？

DushevnayaThis gift to me is the shining Polaris in the middle of a freezing night sky; simply by looking at it, I will never be lost again.这份馈赠就像寒夜中闪烁的北极星一样，只要看着它，我就不会再迷失方向。

DushevnayaThough I don't know how much time I have left, this bright light will continue to guide me as long as I still have this "life" of mine, never fading... Simple thoughts like that bring me peace of mind.虽然我不知道自己还能正常运行多久，但只要我还拥有这份“生命”，这明亮的光芒就会指引我，它永远不会离开我……只是这样的想法，就让我感到安心。

DushevnayaFrom now on, I'll never lose you again, Commander!以后，我再也不会把你弄丢了，指挥官！

Beginning of the Journey 旅程的起点

DushevnayaHmm-hmm~ And that's almost done, now with some final touches...哼~哼哼哼~差不多完成啦，只要最后再加点细节……

CommanderAre you painting, Dushevnaya?杜莎妮，你在画画吗？

DushevnayaThere you are, Commander! Look, my new masterpiece, how is it?指挥官，你来啦！你看，我的新作品，怎么样？

CommanderIt's... pretty gorgeous... Is this supposed to be a scene from a fairytale?还……挺华丽的……画的是什么童话故事中的场景吗？

CommanderHold on, don't you think this person at the center looks kind of familiar?等一下，中间这个人的脸好眼熟啊？

DushevnayaHehe, so you did notice, huh? I've titled this painting "Beginning of the Journey". This Lord is based on you. That silver knight next to him is naturally me. As for the white lion beneath our feet—嘿嘿，指挥官你看出来啦？这幅画我命名为《旅程的起点》，这个领主就是以你为蓝本塑造的哦，旁边的银白色骑士就是我啦，至于我们脚下的这只白色狮子——

CommanderIs that the white pup from the farm?难道是那只农场里的小白狗？

DushevnayaExactly. It's a portrait of our adventurer's party! With a little bit of artistic liberty, that is. Hehe... but it's still largely in line with reality!没错！这就是我们冒险小队的画像，虽然我进行了一点点，艺术加工，嘿嘿……但是大体上还是符合现实情况的嘛！

DushevnayaI've been thinking lately. If one day, we both disappear from this world, then no one else would know about the journeys we walked together...我最近在想，如果有一天，我和指挥官都在这个世界上消失了，那我们曾经在一起的经历就没有人知道了……

DushevnayaI'm sure you'll say that it's okay even if that's the case. But I've always felt a little upset thinking that would be the end of it.指挥官的话，肯定会说就算那样也没关系吧，但是我总觉得，这么想想就会觉得有些难过。

DushevnayaHence why I painted this. As long as this painting remains, those who gaze upon it could travel through the mists of time and glimpse into our story.所以，我就画了这幅画，只要这幅画还存在，看到它的人就会穿过时间的迷雾，知晓我们的故事。

CommanderUhh, would they really?呃，这样真的会知晓吗？

DushevnayaI-I may have taken too much artistic liberty! But that's just my style... At least when it comes to art, it's okay to indulge in fantasies like this, right?我、我承认是有一点艺术加工啦！但是，我喜欢这样的风格嘛……至少在艺术创作的时候，这样畅想一下也没什么关系吧？

DushevnayaBesides, your outfit is certainly very eye-catching, which will surely draw more people to learn about our past, much in the same way people nowadays will track down events with mere words allotted to them in the tales and legends.而且穿着这身衣服的指挥官也很引人注意，这样一定会吸引更多的人来了解我们的过往，就像人们追寻神秘书页中流传的只字片语一样。

DushevnayaIf the day comes that even our memories eventually vanish from this world, our shared moments will not; they will remain polished, shining brightly like rubies despite being eroded by the great river of history.指挥官，如果有一天，你我的记忆终将消失在这个世界上，但是我们曾在一起的时光不会，它将像红宝石一样，就算被历史的河水洗刷，也依旧明亮耀眼。

Section 1 第一节

Dushevnaya (?)Commander... the flames... they burn...指挥官……烈焰……燃烧……

Colphne (?)Pfft, you're being... diculous.噗，有点太……张啦。

Colphne (?)Commander—can you hear... me?指——挥——官——能听得到……说话吗？

(I hear intermittent voices among the blurry darkness. I felt a cool sensation on my forehead soon afterward, stimulating my scattered consciousness to pull itself together.)（模糊的黑暗中传来了断断续续的说话声，接着是额头上的凉意，我涣散的意识被刺激得瞬间集中起来。）

Colphne (?)The inflammation has caused... low fever... Oh, it's Leader Groza's...这是炎症引起……低热……诶，是闪电队长的……

Colphne (?)Oh dear... It's an emergency mission...啊呀呀……是紧急任务呢……

Colphne (?)Dushevnaya, could I please leave the rest to you? I meant... what I told you, you haaave to follow it, okay?杜莎妮，接下来可以拜托你吗？就是人家……跟你说的那些，要一一做到哟。

Dushevnaya (?)Oh, no problem. I shall follow the Great Healer's instructions to the last letter.唔，没问题，我一定会严格遵照治疗师的指示。

Colphne (?)Sorry for the trouble—麻烦你啦~

(After a few brisk footsteps were followed by the sound of a door closing, my surroundings fell into silence. My consciousness returned to me more by the second.)（轻快的脚步声和关门声后，周围陷入沉寂，我的意识却越来越清晰。）

Dushevnaya (?)Ah, the eyes... move! The moment of an awakening!啊，眼球……在动，是苏醒的时刻！

(That unique style of speaking... could it be?)（这独特的说话方式……）

CommanderDushevnaya?杜莎妮？

(With great effort, I manage to open my heavy eyelids.)（我努力睁开了沉重的眼皮。）

(I turn over and sit up as my vision comes into focus.)（视线对焦后，我翻身坐了起来。）

DushevnayaGood afternoon, Commander. It seems that your consciousness has returned to your body.午安，指挥官，看来你的意识已经回归身躯了。

CommanderI remember I was in the Ops room...我记得，我刚刚在指挥室……

DushevnayaEarlier, when I entered the fortress dubbed "The Ops Room" to report, I found that your body and soul had fallen into the traps of slumber... So, I brought you to the place where the soul may be placed in repose.早些时候，在我因为要向你汇报而进入名为指挥室的堡垒中时，发现你的身躯和灵魂都已经陷入了沉睡的陷阱……于是，我将你带回了灵魂可以休憩的场所。

CommanderDoes that mean... I fainted?这个意思是……我晕倒了？

DushevnayaYes! According to Great Healer Colphne, the Commander fainted due to excessive fatigue...嗯！依照治疗师寇尔芙小姐的判断，指挥官晕倒的原因是积劳成疾……

CommanderIt can't be helped. There's a lot to take care of recently.没办法，最近要处理的事务太多。

Commander(Cough) ...My throat seems to be somewhat irritated.咳……喉咙好像有点不舒服。

DushevnayaThis is due to a flame demon rampaging in the Commander's body.那是因为炎魔正在指挥官的体内作乱。

DushevnayaHere, an elixir provided by the Great Healer.给，治疗师大人留下的魔药。

(Dushevnaya places a pill on my palms, then turns around to pour a cup of water for me.)（杜莎妮把一颗药片放入我的手心，转头又给我倒了一杯水。）

DushevnayaUm, other than that, the Great Healer left some messages for me to tell you.那个，除此之外，治疗师大人还有一些话让我告诉你。

CommanderHm?嗯？

(Dushevnaya takes a deep breath before attempting to replicate Colphne's way of speaking.)（杜莎妮深吸一口气，模仿起寇尔芙的语气。）

DushevnayaI took a look at the Commander's activity log and wow, I found that the Commander recently sleeps an amazing average of three hours a day~ If this continues, I don't think colds like these will be the only consequence of your reduced immunity, you know?“人家查了一下指挥官的作息记录，发现指挥官近期的平均睡眠时间只有惊人的3个小时耶~再这样下去，可不只是免疫力降低引发感冒这种小病了哦？ ”

Dushevnaya"I've discussed the matter with Leader Groza. It's been decided that once the Commander recovers, they shall take a vacation for no less than five days. During that period of time, the Commander may not take on any new missions, and Leader Groza will handle all follow-up work for on-going missions."“人家和闪电队长商量了一下，认为指挥官在病好以后，必须休一个不短于5天的假期，在此期间停止接取新任务，现有任务的后续收尾工作交由闪电队长来完成。 ”

Dushevnaya"What do you think, Commander?"“指挥官觉得如何？ ”

CommanderPfft... (Cough)噗……咳咳。

Commander...Do I have any grounds for rejection?……我有任何拒绝的余地吗？

DushevnayaEh? Um... If-if you fail to take heed of the Great healer, there's no telling when the body will take revenge just like it did today!诶？嗯……如、如果忽视治疗师的劝诫，不知道什么时候，来自身体的反抗就会像今天这样悄然降临！

DushevnayaA pact with money is important, but if the spirit is drained...与金钱建立契约固然重要，但精神力被抽干的话……

CommanderIt won't be that serious.哪有那么夸张。

(I swallow the pill with water in one gulp.)（我就着水，一口把药吞了下去。）

CommanderAlright. I've taken the medicine, so It's time to get back to work...好了，药也吃了，我继续回去工作……

(Though discomfort lingers in my body, I'm more concerned about the commissions that are about to run away because Groza dismissed them...)（虽然身上还是有些不爽利，但是那些即将因闪电的回绝而流走的单子……）

(Looks like I have to get up after all.)（果然还是该起床了。）

DushevnayaNo!不可以！

(As I prepared to get up, I was pushed back down onto the pillow by Dushevnaya.)（我刚要从床上起身，下一秒就被杜莎妮按回枕头上。）

DushevnayaA lamp must have fuel before it can light the way! Anyone with good vision can tell that the Commander's flame is flickering weakly right now!灯火也必须有燃料才能明亮！只要视觉机能正常的人都能看出，指挥官的火苗现在处于十分不稳定的状态！

DushevnayaThe vacation is indispensable fuel for the Commander! I-I don't want the Commander's flame to go out!作为燃料使用的假期，对于指挥官来说是不可或缺的，我、我可不想指挥官熄灭！

(Dushevnaya locks her eyes to mine, her gaze bright with intent. Her arms block any potential movement of mine, her face determined to not let me out of bed.)（杜莎妮紧盯着我的眼睛，目光炯炯有神。同时她张开双手拦在我面前，脸上是绝对不可能放我下床的坚决。）

CommanderFine... I'll take a vacation if I must.行……休假就休假吧。

CommanderI'll use this time to recover. Working in this state will only lead to mistakes anyway...先把病养好，这个样子再工作也容易出错……

DushevnayaMm. That would be for the best.嗯，这样是再好不过了。

(Dushevnaya nods in satisfaction, but seems to have no intention of leaving. She watches me intently.)（杜莎妮满意地点点头，但似乎并没有离开的意思，反而认真地注视着我。）

(Is she... afraid that I will slip into the Ops room?)（是……怕我溜去指挥室吗？）

(I give up. I move my hand towards the communications terminal nearby.)（我有些无奈，将手伸向一旁的终端。）

(She will relax once she sees that I have something to do, maybe?)（看到我有事情做，她应该就能安心了吧？）

Dushevnaya!！

(Swoosh—)（唰——）

CommanderHm?嗯？

(It seems that something happened quickly, but I did not see it. The terminal seems to have moved to another location by itself, so my hand lands somewhere near my pillow instead.)（发生了什么，似乎是一瞬间，终端自己挪动了位置，我的手空落在枕边。）

(I instinctively move my hands toward the terminal again.)（我下意识地，将手再次伸了过去。）

Dushevnaya!!！！

(Again, the terminal shifted to another location by itself.)（果然，终端又一次巧妙地挪动了地方。）

Commander...Is there something you still wish to say, Dushevnaya?……杜莎妮，你是有什么话没说完？

CommanderMaybe something like a bomb has been planted in my terminal, which would explode on touch?比如我的终端被植入了炸弹，碰一下就会爆？

DushevnayaThe doomsday clock does not yet toll... Just that...末日的警钟并未敲响……只是……

DushevnayaThe Great Healer entrusted to me that, "To prevent the Commander from sneaking in work on the terminal while on vacation, the terminal has to be confiscated, okay~ Confis–cated~".治疗师大人交代过，“为了防止指挥官在休假的时候偷偷处理工作，终端要没收哦~没·收~”。

(Dushevnaya mimics Colphne's demeanour, perhaps in an attempt to recreate the moment.)（也许是为了还原情景，杜莎妮模仿着寇尔芙的神态。）

DushevnayaBut... but, the terminal belongs to the Commander after all, so I have no right to lord over it... I can only... stop you from touching the source of disaster.但……但，终端是指挥官的，我不该将其占有……只能，阻止你与灾厄的触碰。

CommanderWait, hold on. There are other things I can do on the terminal that isn't work-related.等等等等，终端除了办公还有其他作用啊。

CommanderI can't just be lying down in bed during my vacation, right? I already have trouble sleeping at night, don't tell me I can't even entertain myself during the day...休个假，总不能让我什么都不做就光在床上躺着吧？本来晚上就不太能睡着了，更不要说连打发时间的娱乐都没有……

DushevnayaThe Commander, has trouble reaching dreamland in peace?指挥官，无法安然地进入梦境？

CommanderUm... I've indeed been having some trouble sleeping recently, even pills can't solve the issue.呃……最近有点困难，吃药也没什么用。

DushevnayaIs-is that so...这、这样啊……

DushevnayaUm, oh no, you almost managed to sway my intended path...唔，不对，差点偏移了既定的轨道……

Commander...Fine, you can take it away.……那你要不还是把它拿走吧。

(It looks like I'm giving up and lying back down in bed, but in secret, my hand reaches a pocket in my clothing.)（我看似放弃地躺平下去，手却摸向了衣服内袋。）

(—Good. I have a backup.)（——还好，备用的还在。）

DushevnayaI'll take up your offer if you say so, Commander.指挥官这样说的话，那我就不客气了。

(Dushevnaya puts the terminal in her pocket carefully.)（杜莎妮小心翼翼地将终端装进口袋。）

DushevnayaI will ensure that it is charged and return it once you have recovered, Commander. Now, I'll impede your rest no further and...我会保证它的电量充足，等你康复后就归还。那么，我就先不打扰指挥官休息……

(Dushevnaya speaks as she intends to leave, but she does not. Instead, she stands near my bed with an expression of hesitation.)（这么说着的杜莎妮，却没有离开，一脸犹豫地站在床前。）

CommanderIs there something you need to talk about, Dushevnaya?还有什么事吗，杜莎妮？

DushevnayaUm, actually... I found some rudimentary...嗯、其实……其实我有一些不成熟的……

CommanderWhat?什么？

DushevnayaRudimentary si-si-si...不成熟的建、建建……

CommanderSi?建？

DushevnayaUh—Sights!呃——见到了！

DushevnayaI sighted some faint traces and unknown powers... just now, right in this room!见到了一些、一些隐约的痕迹和未知的力量……在这个房间中，就在刚刚！

(Dushevnaya's previously nervous demeanour suddenly shifts to that of a serious one. She looks away, at some spot within the room.)（杜莎妮原本有些局促的神情突然变得肃穆，目光偏移，看向了房间的某处。）

Commander...Unknown powers?……未知的力量？

DushevnayaRight! As for what kind of power, I must, must perform further investigation to understand it!嗯！具体是什么力量，我必须、必须进一步地感知了解才行！

Commander...How would you do that?……怎么感知？

Dushevnaya...I'll need... some... some preparation!通过一些……一些……一些准备！

DushevnayaYes, that's right, I need some preparation before I embark on this investigation! Commander, please lay down and await in the realm without frost. The unknown powers will be revealed upon nightfall!对没错，我需要做一些准备才能查明！指挥官，请先行躺下，在没有寒冷的领域中闭目等待，未知的力量将在夜幕降临时显现！

DushevnayaI must leave you for the moment, see you later!我先离去片刻，回见！

(Dushevnaya frantically assists me in laying back down and tucks me into the covers before she is immediately gone like the wind.)（杜莎妮慌慌张张地扶着我躺下，替我盖好被子后，像风一样卷出了休息室。）

Section 2 第二节

(A few hours later—)（几个小时后——）

(I was working on my backup terminal before a series of knocks came from the door. I quickly stuff the terminal under my pillow and pat out the wrinkles on it to hide the evidence.)（我正用备用终端处理工作，突然传来了一阵敲门声，我连忙把终端塞到枕头下，掩饰般地拍平了枕头上的褶皱。）

CommanderPlease come in.请进。

(Dushevnaya enters, carrying a backpack.)（杜莎妮拎着一个背包，从门外走了进来。）

DushevnayaHow are you feeling, Commander?指挥官，你感觉如何？

DushevnayaAccording to the Great Healer's instructions, the elixir should have worked now. Has the flame demon retreated from your mind?根据治疗师大人的指示，魔药理应已发挥作用，炎魔是否已从你脑中消退？

CommanderThe flame demon... You mean the fever? Yeah, I'm fine now.炎魔……你是说发热吗？已经没问题了。

DushevnayaThat's great. However, we must not let our guard down. The lurking demons have retreated only temporarily and may strike back at any time. To prevent such a situation, I shall now investigate the unknown power in this room, and wield it!太好了。不过还是不能放松警惕。盘踞的魔物只是暂时退却，随时可能卷土重来。为了防止这样的情况，现在，我要查明这个房间中的未知力量并利用它。

DushevnayaPlease assist me, Commander!指挥官，请协助我！

(Dushevnaya looks really sincere... This is quite bizarre, but let's see what she wants to do first.)（杜莎妮看起来很恳切……虽然怪怪的，但还是姑且看她要做什么吧。）

CommanderI don't really get what you're trying to say, but I'll take it as a form of entertainment during my vacation.虽然不是很懂你在说什么，但作为假期的休闲，倒也不是不可以。

CommanderSo what should we do?具体要怎么做呢？

DushevnayaFor starters, we will form a connection!首先，要建立连接！

Commander...with what?……和什么连接？

DushevnayaWith the unknown, great powers—和未知的伟大力量——

DushevnayaOnly pure souls untainted by distracting thoughts may perceive it. Please take note of this, Commander.只有毫无杂念的纯净心灵才能感受到它，请指挥官务必注意这点。

Commander"Untainted by distracting thoughts" ...That will be quite difficult for me.“毫无杂念”……对我来说真是困难啊。

CommanderOr should I say, would be quite difficult for any human?应该说，是人就很难做到吧？

DushevnayaR-really? But the inscription found in the sea of knowledge says exactly that... Only by banishing distractions may the soul find peace...做、做不到吗？但知识之海的铭文上，就是这么说的……只有摒除杂念，才能使灵魂平静……

DushevnayaUm... I know! Please close your eyes, Commander, and follow the rhythm of my breathing. Let the pure air flow into your body, allowing it to evict the distracting dust—唔……我知道了！指挥官，请闭上双眼，跟着我调整呼吸的节奏，让纯净的空气涌入躯体，驱逐繁杂的尘埃——

(Dushevnaya takes in an huge, exaggerated gulp of air, looking at me with hopeful, bright eyes.)（杜莎妮夸张地吸了一大口气，用明亮的双眼期待地望着我。）

CommanderI just... have to take a deep breath, right?总之，深呼吸就可以了吧？

(I follow her instructions to lie down flat on the bed, breathe deep, then slowly let it out.)（我按照杜莎妮所说，闭着眼摊平在床上，深深地吸一口气，再慢慢地吐出去。）

DushevnayaWell done. The connection has formed, and a miracle will now present itself.很好，连接已经开始，神迹即将显现。

DushevnayaDo you feel different now, Commander? Perhaps you are hearing some faint chatter or having some fantastical visions... that kind of thing.指挥官感觉到不同了吗？比如一些隐秘的絮语或者一些奇妙的影像——之类的。

Commander...To be honest? Nothing.……说实话，没有。

DushevnayaOh, that means the resonance is too weak. Someone devoted must guide you to help strengthen the connection.唔，那就是共鸣还太过薄弱，需要虔诚之人的引导，才能加强。

DushevnayaPlease remain in your position with your eyes closed, Commander.指挥官，请保持这个姿势不要睁眼。

(My ears capture the sound of a minute rustling of fabric and the sound of rummaging to find something.)（我的耳边捕捉到了细碎的、布料摩擦和翻找的声音。）

(Immediately afterward, I hear the sound of metal gently gliding on skin.)（紧接着，是皮肤浅浅划过金属的摩擦音。）

DushevnayaCommander, you must absolutely not open your eyes—指挥官，绝对不可以睁开眼睛——

CommanderKaaay—好——

(A passionate blast of music slams right into my brain the next second.)（但下一秒，一阵激昂的乐音直冲大脑。）

(My eyes spring open out of shock, meeting Dushevnaya's somewhat panicked gaze.)（我惊讶地睁眼，对上杜莎妮有些慌张的眼神。）

DushevnayaI'm so sorry, Commander!抱歉，指挥官！

DushevnayaI forgot how loud this instrument was, I'll adjust the method of communicating with it...我忘记这个乐器拥有如此嘹亮的歌喉了，我会调整一下与它交流的方式……

CommanderYou're holding a... suona trumpet?你手里拿的是……唢呐？

CommanderIs that the method to "form a connection" that you spoke of?这就是你说的建立连接的方式？

DushevnayaM-Music has no borders or boundaries, only the intangible can cross the barriers between dimensions to deliver our responses...音、音乐没有边界和国度，无形之物才能穿越维度间的隔阂，将我们的回应传递出去……

DushevnayaAs for the instrument... I tried to find other kinds, but time took its toll on the storeroom, so other than an old harmonica, all that was left was this instrument named "Suona".至于乐器……我本来想找其他的，但仓库已然被岁月浸泡，除了一支腐朽的口琴外，只留下了名为“唢呐”的器具。

DushevnayaCould you let me try again, Commander?指挥官，再让我试试吧？

CommanderAlright.好。

(I close my eyes and hear the music starting once more. I can tell that Dushevnaya is carefully controlling her breathing. The song now felt light and mellow, even somewhat melodious.)（我又闭上了眼睛，乐声再次响起，能听出来杜莎妮小心地控制住了气息，乐声变得轻而悠扬，甚至带了些许婉转。）

(My mind was eased, and I felt relaxed)（我的精神不自觉地放松了。）

(This tune seems to be a... lullaby?)（这个旋律好像是……摇篮曲？）

(So when she said "To form a connection with unknown powers" all she wanted to do was to lull me to sleep?)（原来什么“与未知的力量连接”，其实都是为了给我催眠？）

DushevnayaAh...呼……

(Dushevnaya plays a few repeats of the lullaby, lowering the volume on each loop until she was silent.)（杜莎妮将摇篮曲循环了几遍，音量越来越小，最终完全消失。）

(I sensed that Dushevnaya had carefully inched over to my bed, and felt an itching sensation on my face. Probably strands of her dangling hair.)（我感觉到杜莎妮小心翼翼地凑到了我的床前，脸上有瘙痒的感觉，应该是她垂下的发丝。）

DushevnayaCalm, regular breathing... A successful journey to dreamland?呼吸平稳……梦境成功降临了吗？

CommanderNope.没有哦。

DushevnayaUwah! C-C-C-Commander, you're still awake!呜哇！指指指挥官你还醒着！

DushevnayaUh, are you feeling any... sleepiness?唔、你没有感受到……倦意？

CommanderUm... No.嗯……没有。

CommanderBut you played well. Suonas are loud and resonant, but you managed to present a different feeling with it.但我觉得你吹得还不错，唢呐原本是比较吵闹激昂的乐器，你吹出了另一种感觉。

CommanderIt was quite interesting.挺有趣的。

DushevnayaReally!? That's great—no, not at all, I mean, it's such a pity. Looks like music cannot detect the unknown powers, so I should probably try something else... Hmm...真的吗！？太好了——不、不对，我是说，太遗憾了，看来能感知未知力量的并非音乐，要试试其他的办法才好……嗯……

DushevnayaCommander, I'll need to make preparations again, please wait a moment!指挥官，我要再做一次准备，请稍等一下！

(And she runs off in a rush... Although what she subjected me to killed off all my drowsiness, I did experience a kind of long-lost feeling of freshness with that.)（风风火火地跑掉了……虽然被她这一通吹，我的困意全无，但确实感到了一种久违的新鲜。）

(It's my vacation anyway, I'll let her do whatever.)（反正也是休假，随她吧。）

(My mind was filled with the imagery of Dushevnaya's puffed up cheeks as I took out my terminal to read through it again.)（想着刚才杜莎妮圆鼓鼓的腮帮子，我又摸出终端翻看起来。）

Section 3 第三节

(Dushevnaya returns to my room after about an hour.)（大约一小时后，杜莎妮再次来到了我的房间。）

(She takes out a few books from her filled backpack, placing a few on her lap.)（她从沉甸甸的背包里翻出几本书，摞在自己的膝盖上。）

DushevnayaAnd now, let the Commander choose the fated book that will bring us the Gospel.那么，就由指挥官，来选出那本命定的福音之书吧。

CommanderSo after the lullaby comes the bedtime stories?继摇篮曲之后，现在是说睡前故事吗？

DushevnayaN-n-not bedtime stories! We are communicating our wishes to the unknown powers through these ancient texts!不不不是睡前故事！是通过古老的文字，让那个未知的力量听到我们的愿望！

DushevnayaBooks... are the crystallization of wisdom, the words forming a sea of knowledge. The spirit of wisdom can surely be perceived by the powers who possess wisdom...um, yes. That's how it works.书籍——是智慧的结晶，文字构成了知识之海。 智慧的灵性一定能被拥有智慧的力量感知……呃、没错，就是这样。

(Dushevnaya gestures dramatically, the books on her lap wobble and nearly fall to the ground before she barely manages to catch them.)（杜莎妮夸张地摆着手，膝盖上的书晃了晃险些落下，被她堪堪捞住。）

DushevnayaAnyway, could the Commander please... pick a book?总之、指挥官先……选一本吧？

CommanderLet's see... "ELID Gourmet's Hypothesis", "The Art of Rock 'n' Roll Mechanical Repair", "Stop, oh Destined Lover of The Bounty Hunter" "I Became King of the Hunt in the Contaminated Zones" ...what the heck are all these?我看看……《生骸美食假说》《摇滚机修技巧》《别跑，赏金猎人的命定情人》《我在污染区当猎王》……这都是些什么啊？

CommanderThe Trapped Doll's Core? ...This seems like a normal story. It's also pretty thin too, so that's my pick.《心核陷阱》？……这好像是篇正经故事，也挺薄的，就它吧。

DushevnayaOkay. Then, please evict the distracting thoughts just like you did before.好的，那么，请像刚才一样，摒除杂念。

(I close my eyes, and hear the sound of paper flipping near my ears.)（我闭上眼睛，耳边传来了纸张翻动的声音。）

(A few seconds later, Dushevnaya starts to put on a voice, slowly reading the story out loud.)（几秒后，杜莎妮用她独特的嗓音，缓慢地诵读出声。）

Dushevnaya"...The ray of light that Elle's visual module captures makes her realize that she is currently situated in a gigantic trash incinerator. Other than herself, a few other Doll bodies are seen among the usual trash..."“……视觉模块捕捉到的一丝光线让埃尔意识到，自己正身处于一个巨大的垃圾焚烧炉中，四周除了普通的垃圾，还散落着几具和她一样的人形素体……”

(Hm? That sounds like a suspense story centered on a Doll protagonist.)（嗯？听上去，好像是一个以人形为主角的悬疑故事。）

Dushevnaya"...Her malfunctioning legs cannot help her escape. She can only watch as the trash incinerator exit closes off without a thought for her plight..."“……故障的腿部无法支撑她逃离，她只能眼睁睁地看着垃圾焚烧炉的出口无情地关闭……”

Dushevnaya"...The flamethrowing nozzle situated on the roof of the incinerator approaches. The heat swirls around her, a foreshadowing to the eventual breakage and melting of her body..."“……位于焚烧炉上方的火焰喷头逐渐压近，热量在周遭循环流淌，这是素体将要受损、乃至熔化的前兆……”

Dushevnaya"...Before she could even begin to generate another thought, the torture had begun..."“……在下一段想法生成之前，酷刑开始了……”

(The cruel text induces a frown on my face. Dushevnaya's voice starts to become tense too.)（残酷的文字让我皱了皱眉，杜莎妮的声音也紧张了起来。）

CommanderAre you alright? Dushevnaya?你还好吗？杜莎妮？

Dushevnaya...I-I'm fine, haha... As expected of the Commander's chosen, uh, fated gospel... It-it has an interesting start.……我、我还好，哈哈……不愧是指挥官钦定的、福音之书，很、很有趣的开篇呢。

CommanderBut your voice is shaking, are you sure?但你的声音在发抖？

DushevnayaUm, that is... excitement, for what comes next...呃，这是……兴奋，对于接下来的发展……

DushevnayaI-I'll continue now...我、我继续了哦……

(She flips the page.)（纸张又翻动了起来。）

Dushevnaya"...'Good thing I wasn't installed with a module to feel pain' were h-her thoughts as she was engulfed in the flames."“……‘还好没有安装感知疼痛的模块’，被火焰包裹住的一刹那，她、她产生了这样的想法。”

Dushevnaya"She then turned her attention to the other Doll bodies abandoned just like her, witnessing their snow-white synthetic skin... skin... start charring and carbonising under the heat of the flames."“随即将注意力转移到那些和她一样的废弃素体上，看着她们雪白的仿生皮肤……皮肤……在火焰的炙烤下逐渐焦黑碳化。”

Dushevnaya"The steel... skeleton that peered out from the skin was melting... too... Their throats emitted a sound that belonged neither to human nor machine... Uuuu..."“穿刺而出的钢筋……骨骼也在融、化……从她们的喉咙里发出了不属于机械也不属于人类的声音……呜……”

CommanderAre you really going to be fine?真的不要紧吗？

DushevnayaI'll be alright! I can go on, Commander!没事的！我可以继续的指挥官！

(Dushevnaya grasps the book tightly, staring at me with eyes wide like a frightened puppy.)（杜莎妮紧紧攥着书本，瞪大眼睛看着我，像一只被吓到的小狗。）

(Will she really be okay frightened like this...? But there may be more trouble if I just stop her now.)（这么害怕真的没问题吗……但如果拦住她可能会引发更棘手的情况。）

Dushevnaya"Uuuu... At that moment, she felt something grab her wrists, turning her head only to see a deformed, melted face... the connecting wires... wires of the visual module are already... already..."“呜……就在这时，她感觉一股力量攥住了自己的手腕，她转过头看到一个扭曲的面庞——视觉模块上的、上的连接线已经、已经……”

(Dushevnaya perseveres with all her might to keep her vocalization module running, continuing on with the story.)（杜莎妮全力维持住了发声模块的运转，将故事读了下去。）

(Escape, exile, betrayal, farewell... An hour later, the protagonist of the story finally meets her end on the barren landscape.)（逃亡，流浪，背叛，分离……直到一个小时后，故事中的主角终于在荒芜的地表上，迎来了终局。）

Dushevnaya...leaving only a shining nut, resting quietly in the moonlight.“……只留下一枚闪光的螺母，静静地躺在月光之下。”

DushevnayaPhew—It's finally... over...呼——终于……结束了……

(Watching Dushevnaya's emotional state return to normal makes me quietly heave a sigh of relief, too.)（看到杜莎妮的情绪缓和，我也暗自松了口气。）

(Still, what an exciting story it was. Were such books just sitting around on the Elmo all this time? I thought most of our stuff were just advert catalogues thrown in by Underground Brokers...)（不过，这故事其实还挺精彩的，之前艾莫号上居然有这种书吗？我还以为都是些暗商塞过来的广告册子……）

CommanderWhat a great story.真是个不错的故事。

DushevnayaUuu... I can't say the same, that part where the Doll was cut open... Eh?! Commander, you're still awake... N-no sleepiness at all, wait, I mean, have you felt a connection to the unknown powers yet?唔……我不好说，切割素体的那段……欸！指挥官还醒着……没、没有感觉到困、不对，没有感受到未知的力量吗？

CommanderMaybe Dushevnaya was too good at telling the story, so I wanted to keep listening and forgot to answer the call from the unknown powers.可能是因为杜莎妮讲得太好了，让人很想一直听下去，反而忽略了未知力量对我的呼唤。

CommanderSpeaking of which, I didn't know our storeroom had such interesting books. Looks like I need to take stock and make more use of it in the future.说起来，我还不知道仓库里有这么有趣的藏书，看来以后得多盘一下库存，发挥各种闲置的作用才好。

DushevnayaThe path has turned unto the opposite direction..轨道完全向着相反的方向延伸了……

(Dushevnaya's face is full of dejection, her shoulders slump.)（杜莎妮一脸沮丧，肩膀彻底垮了下去。）

CommanderThere's no need to be sad, I—不用太在意，我——

DushevnayaI have only completed half of the Great Healer's request, this is no time to falter!治疗师大人的嘱托，还只完成了一半，我不可以就此消沉！

DushevnayaAlright, Commander, let us waste no more time and proceed on to the next ritual.好了指挥官，让我们不要浪费时间，赶紧进行下一场仪式吧。

(Looks like the "Hypnotic Game" that intends to "lull" me to sleep will continue.)（看来，“哄”我入睡的“催眠游戏”，还要继续啊。）

Section 4 第四节

DushevnayaA foot bath, drinking milk, meditation...泡脚、喝牛奶、冥想……

DushevnayaNone of it worked very well, I'm not sure there's still anything that can be tried...效果似乎都不太理想，感觉已经无计可施了……

CommanderIsn't there still one more on the list?这不是还有一个么？

(I pointed at "Exercise" which was written at the bottom of the checklist.)（我指了指清单最下方的“运动”两个字。）

CommanderStill, why is exercise viewed as a way for us to form connections with the unknown powers?不过，为什么运动能被视为与未知力量建立连接的手段？

CommanderIt feels as mysterious as a foot bath or drinking milk.看起来和泡脚还有喝牛奶一样，没什么神秘性。

(The milk was pretty good, though. After breaking a little sweat, I felt a lot better.)（不过，牛奶倒是挺好喝的，出了点汗，身上也舒服了不少。）

(I stretch my body a little, the feeling of warmth flowing through my body.)（我稍微舒展了一下身体，温暖的感觉流遍全身。）

DushevnayaUm... It's because the unknown powers can sense the released endorphins and the relaxed mood after exercise, then resonate with that.唔……是因为未知力量能够感应到人类在运动后分泌的内啡肽，还有运动后舒展的心情，也能与它共鸣。

DushevnayaHowever... The Commander has not yet emerged from the shadow of disease, so exercise... might let disease find an opportunity to strike?但是……指挥官还没有完全走出病魔的阴影，运动的话……会不会让病魔再一次找到可乘之机？

CommanderI won't be able to wrestle with those "Goblins" in the contaminated zones now and win, but I will be fine if it's just a bit of exercise.你让我现在去和那群污染区“哥布林”摔跤是不可能的。但适量活动的话，应该没有问题。

DushevnayaGoblin... D-do you mean the Varjagers?哥布林……是、是说瓦良格帮吗？

CommanderYeah. They kind of make me laugh every time I see them.是啊，每次看到那帮家伙，我都有点想笑。

DushevnayaHaha... They do quite... resemble goblins.哈哈……确实，有点像呢。

CommanderThere was once a time when the Elmo ran out of ammunition and we had to charge them swinging our barrels at them.之前艾莫号还遇到过子弹打光了，抡着枪管冲锋的。

(I recounted some encounters with Varjagers to Dushevnaya. Laughter erupts and echoes throughout the dorm.)（我和杜莎妮说着与瓦良格帮的遭遇，笑声回荡在宿舍里。）

DushevnayaNo, wait... we veered off our goal again.不对不对……跑题了。

DushevnayaThe plan was to accompany you during exercise... The sign guiding us to the end must not be lost!明明是想要陪指挥官活动一下的……标示终点的道标，不能丢失！

DushevnayaWhat kind of exercise though... maybe... purify the Elmo?做什么活动好呢……比如……净化艾莫号？

CommanderPurify... You mean clean up the Elmo?净化……是说打扫卫生？

DushevnayaIt allows body movement, but does not require too much exertion. That does seem like a suitable exercise.能让身体动起来、强度不太高的活动，感觉这个正合适。

DushevnayaAh, but that... that would go against the instructions of the Great Healer, Commander.... you can't leave the room...啊，但这、这样就会违背治疗师大人留下的指示，指挥官，不可以离开这个房间……

CommanderColphne likely meant that I'm not allowed to participate in work, but it should be fine for me to just move around.寇尔芙的意思应该是不许我参与工作，只是四处转转的话，肯定没问题的。

CommanderAnd... this will also help... uh... that is... what's it called again, the thing you mentioned...而且……这也是为了更好地……呃……就是……什么来着，你说的那个……

DushevnayaFeel the unknown powers?感受未知的力量？

CommanderYes.对。

DushevnayaOh... Okay! Then I shall retrieve the cleaning equipment.好……好吧！那我现在去取清洁器具。

(Great, I'll finally be able to get out. I feel sorry for doing this to Dushevnaya, but if I can find a chance to slip away, perhaps I can make it in time for the routine communication with B.R.I.E.F. )（太好了，总算能出门了。虽然有点对不起杜莎妮，但找机会溜走的话，也许还能赶上和B.R.I.E.F.的周期性联络。）

(Dushevnaya and I reach the lounge with cleaning equipment in hand.)（我和杜莎妮带着打扫工具来到了休息区。）

(It's been some time since the place was last used. It's still how we left it after the previous welcoming party.)（这里有一阵子没使用了，还保持着上一次开欢迎会时的模样。）

DushevnayaLet's divide up the work and correct these misaligned trajectories, Commander.指挥官，我们来分下工，一起修正这些错位的轨迹吧。

DushevnayaHmm... I'll take care of the sofa area. Could you purify the Bar area, Commander?嗯……我负责沙发区，指挥官能净化一下吧台那边吗？

CommanderNo problem.没问题。

CommanderBut I was thinking, it's not that messy around here, so I'll be able to handle the lounge myself. Do you want to have a look at the rooms nearby, Dushevnaya? I remember they were quite messed up.不过，感觉这里没有很乱，我自己清理就行，杜莎妮要不去隔壁房间看看？我记得那里还挺乱的。

(My mind quickly plots the route from my current location to the Ops room.)（我心中快速规划着从这里到指挥室的路线。）

(Once Dushevnaya leaves, I'll...)（等杜莎妮一离开，马上就……）

DushevnayaPardon me, but I must refuse.恕我拒绝。

(Dushevnaya crosses her arms in front of her chest in a big X.)（杜莎妮的两条手臂在胸前比了一个大大的叉。）

DushevnayaIf the Commander is struck down by the demons of disease from overexertion again, I would be an accomplice to evil.如果指挥官因为过度劳累再次被病魔击倒，我就是协助病魔作恶之人。

DushevnayaSo please leave all the other areas to me.所以其余的净化工作，请都交给我。

CommanderUh... That... Is fine... too.呃……倒也……行、行吧。

(Dushevnaya had quite the determined expression there, but let's find another chance later...)（杜莎妮的表情十分坚定，还是再找机会吧……）

DushevnayaI will now clean the sofa area and leave the bar area to the Commander.那我去清扫沙发，吧台区域就交给指挥官了。

(Dushevnaya runs off hurriedly. I pick up a rag cleaned by her and start to wipe the Bartop.)（杜莎妮匆忙跑开，我也拿起杜莎妮已经沥干净的抹布，开始擦拭吧台的桌面。）

(The cabinet below the bartop is stuffed full of items. As I gathered a number of bartop items, ready to stuff them into the cabinet, I saw some cards with words written on it.)（吧台下方的柜子里堆了不少的东西，就在我把桌面上零碎的物件集中起来准备塞进去时，发现了一些写着字的卡片。）

(An idea—)（有办法了——）

CommanderLook at what I've found, Dushevnaya.杜莎妮，看我找到了什么。

(Dushevnaya walks over from the other side of the lounge.)（杜莎妮从休息区的另一头走了过来。）

DushevnayaIf memory serves me right, these are... cards for a word-guessing game?如果我的记忆没有出错，这是……猜字游戏的卡片？

CommanderYep. We played it during the welcoming party, it was pretty fun.嗯，之前在欢迎会上玩过，还挺有意思的。

CommanderHow about it, want to try it out for a bit?怎么样，要玩一会儿吗？

DushevnayaHuh? Play... Are we going to play this?啊？玩、要玩这个吗？

(A hint of panic appears on Dushevnaya's face.)（杜莎妮的脸上出现了一丝惶恐。）

CommanderNot interested?你不想？

CommanderI remembered how Dushevnaya said not long ago, that the relaxed, happy mood that comes after exercise facilitated a connection with the unknown powers.我记得杜莎妮刚刚说过，运动后舒展的心情，也有易于与未知力量建立连接？

CommanderI believe that playing a game can help us do that too?我想，玩游戏应该也可以达到一样的效果。

DushevnayaI-Is that so? Then...是、是吗？那就……

CommanderTo make it more interesting, the loser will have to follow orders from the winner.为了让游戏更有趣一些，输了的人要服从赢家的指令。

CommanderHow is it?怎么样？

(Dolls tend to operate on a pretty rigid sense of associative logic, so it's quite easy to win against them. I just have to win quickly and have her prepare some "complex" afternoon tea. This method carries no risk of alerting Groza and the others too, so that's good.)（人形的联想逻辑相对固化，想赢很简单。只要我快速拿下，就让杜莎妮去准备一些“复杂”的茶点。这样也不会惊动闪电她们。）

DushevnayaO-okay!好、好的！

(An hour later—)（一小时后——）

DushevnayaThis... This is... I know how to describe it now! It's like a giant pendulum, crashed permanently into the ground. It-it has hills and mounds, with crystals covering the surface... It's like a tumor that has grown from the earth.这……这是……我、我知道了！是巨大的钟摆，坠落在地面上。起、起伏的山丘，遍布结晶……就像大地上长出了肿瘤……

Commander...…………

DushevnayaA-Are you still unable to guess it?还、还猜不出吗？

(Failure. Complete mission failure. Dushevnaya's description logic is as easily followed as the billowing sand found all over the contaminated zones.)（失败，完全的失败，杜莎妮的形容逻辑就像是污染区无迹可寻的飞沙。）

(I've been "Commanded" to drink two cups of tea, eat three cookies, and enjoy four of her shoulder massages all within the hour... I have half an hour left before the routine communication. I need to hurry.)（一个小时内，我被她“指挥”着，喝了两杯热茶、吃了3块饼干、享受了4次颈肩按摩……距离周期性通讯只有半小时了，要赶紧了。）

(It's my turn to describe the word after this. Even if I have to cheat...)（下一题是我描述，就算作弊也要……）

CommanderFine, I admit defeat. Let's see the answer... Thoad?好了，我认输，让我看看谜底……锤岩蟾蜍？

(An image of a crystal-covered Thoad squatting on the ground comes to mind. With that in mind, it's hard to argue with Dushevnaya's description.)（想到它蹲在战场上的样子，我很难反驳杜莎妮的形容。）

DushevnayaIt-it's just a coincidence, I'm sure the Commander will win next time... The compass of fate will surely point you to the correct direction!只、只是巧合，下一次，指挥官就会赢了……幸运的指针一定会指向正确的方位！

CommanderLet's talk about what your orders for me are. No more massages, please. Or at least find another spot for that...还是先说这次要我做什么吧？别再按摩了，或者至少换个地方……

(I feel like my shoulders are so relaxed, they would dislocate at any moment.)（肩膀感觉快要松弛到脱臼了。）

DushevnayaI-I would like the commander to lie down!这、这次的话，我希望指挥官躺下！

(Dushevnaya points at the spotless sofa that she cleaned up.)（杜莎妮指向被她打扫得干干净净的沙发。）

CommanderHuh?啊？

DushevnayaIt's time I performed the most spiritual ritual ever on the Commander... Please do not hold any distracting thoughts and accept the ritual with an open mind.我将为指挥官施展最具灵性的仪式……请不要心存任何杂念，坦然接受。

(I lie down on the sofa, a mix of skepticism and acceptance in my mind.)（我将信将疑地躺到沙发上。）

DushevnayaPlease close your eyes and heed the call from deep within your soul...请闭上眼睛，聆听灵魂深处的呼唤……

(Darkness covers my field of vision—)（黑暗笼罩了视线——）

DushevnayaNow, you're lying down on a hill, during an afternoon in a Green Zone... The temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and you feel a refreshing breeze blow by.现在，指挥官正躺在原生绿区午后的丘陵上……温度24度，有清新的风拂过。

(—?!)（——？！）

(A strange sensation comes from my scalp, instantly giving me goosebumps all over.)（头顶传来一种奇怪的触感，我瞬间起了一层鸡皮疙瘩。）

DushevnayaThe wind is cool, while the sun shines gently through the treeshade.风有一点点凉，但是太阳隔着树荫照了过来。

(The strange scratching on my head does not stop, but the initial sense of overstimulation subsides, turning into a wonderful feeling of comfort that spreads out.)（诡异的抓挠并未停止，但是最初的刺激却慢慢消散，一种奇妙的舒适感蔓延开来。）

(Is it a... scalp massager? Did she borrow this from Ullrid?)（好像是……头皮按摩器，难道是跟乌尔丽德借的？）

(Not bad. I'll enjoy this for five minutes, but I've got to take her down in the next round.)（还挺舒服的，暂且享受5分钟吧，然后一定要拿下下一局。）

DushevnayaThere is also... the sound of a rubber pig...还有……胶皮猪噗噗的声音……

(The contents are somewhat strange... but Dushevnaya's soft, delicate voice makes me feel relaxed.)（虽然内容有点奇怪……但杜莎妮清浅纤细的声音，让我感到松弛。）

(The scent of red tea and cookies linger in my mouth... I feel... kind of sleepy...)（口中还能感到红茶和饼干残留的香气……好像……有点困了……）

(No... I have to go for the routine...)（不行……还要去周期性……）

(...)（……）

(Darkness finally engulfs my consciousness whole.)（黑暗，终于淹没了意识。）

(I fling my eyes open, suddenly realizing that it's already dark outside.)（我猛地睁开双眼，骤然发现外边的天已经黑了。）

DushevnayaCommander, you're awake?指挥官，你醒了？

CommanderWhat's the time now? How long have I slept?现在几点？我睡了多久？

DushevnayaA-About 3 in the morning. You slept about... 8 hours?大、大概是夜里3点，你睡了……有8个小时？

CommanderCrap!糟了！

(I sit up quickly, but realize that the time for routine communication is long over and freeze on the spot.)（我蹭地坐起来，但又意识到周期性联络早已结束，僵在当场。）

DushevnayaC-Commander, I'm so sorry, I... I...指、指挥官，对不起，我、我……

(Dushevnaya seems to be panicking. She might have misunderstood why I sat up in a rush.)（杜莎妮显得十分慌乱，她好像误会了我激动的原因。）

CommanderNo need to panic. I'm not going to blame you, I was too relaxed and drifted off.你别紧张，我没有怪你，是我自己太松懈了。

CommanderYou have successfully accomplished your goal of lulling me to sleep, you've done nothing wrong.你顺利完成了让我睡觉这一点，没有做错任何事。

DushevnayaR-Really...? Then that's... Oh!没、没有吗……那就——唔！

DushevnayaC-Commander, you knew that I signed a pact with the God of Slumber on your behalf?指、指挥官已经知晓，我替你与睡眠之神签订了契约吗？

CommanderI'm not dumb. I have to say that some of your methods were pretty weird, though.我又不是傻子。虽然有些方法挺奇怪的。

DushevnayaT-Then why didn't you... expose my plans...那、那你为什么不……揭穿我……

CommanderI'd like to ask why you never gave your intentions straight in the first place.我倒是想问你为什么不直说。

CommanderIt's not a secret that Colphne and the others want me to rest up too.本来寇尔芙她们也是要我好好休息，又不是秘密。

DushevnayaBecause... I made up something that did not exist at the start, creating an unfulfillable promise...因为……在最初的开始，塑造了不存在之物，承诺了难以完成之约。

DushevnayaIf I told the truth, the Commander would be disappointed... but when I didn't... the flames of fear burned m-my vocalization modules...如果说出来，让指挥官的失望……和不悦……恐惧的火焰灼烧了我、我的发声模块……

(The lighting in the room is dim, so I could not see her expression clearly. However, I saw that her shoulders were trembling.)（房间里灯光昏暗，我看不太清杜莎妮的表情，但却能看到她肩膀的颤抖。）

CommanderThere's no need to be afraid, I wouldn't get angry at you over that.我又不会因为这个责怪你，不用害怕啊。

DushevnayaI-It's not like that! It's just that, the black river named fear, is born from the spring of cherished promises...不、不是这样的！只是因为，名为恐惧的黑色水流，是从珍惜的泉眼中诞生的……

DushevnayaI hoped, to protect the promise I made to you at the start...我希望，能够守护当初的承诺……

CommanderThen you have already succeeded.那你已经成功了啊。

DushevnayaR-Really?真、真的？

CommanderI wasn't able to sneak away and do any work, but I had a great day with you. You got me to realize the value of the storeroom books, and played me an ear-piercing but funny "lullaby". I then enjoyed your tea and cookies, and even managed to sleep eight hours without a single nightmare.虽然偷偷工作没达成，但是今天我很开心啊。你让我看到了艾莫号上之前没注意到过的书，听了刺耳但又好笑的“安眠曲”，专心品尝了茶点，甚至还连梦都没有做地睡了8个小时。

CommanderYou should be more confident in yourself. You have already accomplished the promise made on the day of our reunion.再自信一点吧，你已经完成了我们重逢时的承诺。

DushevnayaThe promise...承诺……

(...)（……）

CommanderKVSK... No, I should call you Dushevnaya now. It's been a long time.KSVK……不，现在应该叫你杜莎妮了，好久不见。

Dushevnaya...I'm sorry... My memories of Griffin are now like fragments of a meteor, scattered all across the universe...……抱歉，格里芬的回忆，对于现在的我来说，已经是散落在宇宙四处的陨石碎片……

Commander...……

DushevnayaH-However, the lack of memories does not prevent us from forming a new bond!但、但是，没有记忆并不代表我们不能产生新的羁绊！

DushevnayaFrom now on, I would like to face every trouble and worry together with you. Be it in battle or in life... I want to accompany you as much as I can, Commander.战斗也好、生活也罢……我想要尽我所能陪伴着指挥官，无论是烦恼还是不安，我都想与指挥官一起面对。

DushevnayaEven though... Even though the current me might just be a common, unremarkable pebble... I've heard that when people have someone they wish to protect, they become as strong as diamond. Perhaps this applies to Dolls too.就算……就算现在的我只是路边随处可见的石子，并不起眼……但我听说，人在有了守护的人之后，会变得无比强大，我想这条应该也适用于人形。

DushevnayaWhen I am by your side, I feel an inexhaustible source of power flowing through me. Like a fledgling bird pushed off a cliff, wanting to spread its wings and take flight to save itself, but even more like a seedling bathed in the warm sun, reaching and growing into the skies with all it's might...只要在你的身边，我就能感觉到源源不断的力量——像被推落悬崖的雏鸟，要张开翅膀起飞；更像被阳光笼罩的幼苗，要用尽全力向天空生长……

DushevnayaThe clues of fate have converged, the sunlight, the winds, the sand, the stars... all point towards you.关于命运的线索已经汇合，阳光，风沙，星辰……都将我指引向你。

(...)（……）

CommanderYou have accompanied me through a day of relaxation, forcing me away from work, allowing my mind to completely relax. That's a difficult feat.你陪我度过了清闲的一天，硬控着我远离工作，让我的神经完全松弛，这可是很难的。

CommanderAsk Groza and Colphne if you don't believe me. Maybe the title of strongest chaperone on the Elmo will be passed on to you tomorrow.不信可以问问闪电和寇尔芙，估计明天艾莫号最强陪护的称号都要给你。

DushevnayaThe current holder is Colphne, I should not snatch a title from others that does not belong to me...还是寇尔芙更称职的，我不该抢夺不属于我的名誉……

CommanderSighhhhh...唉——

(I sigh, interrupting Dushevnaya's words.)（我叹了口气打断了杜莎妮之后的话语。）

(No one can be enlightened in a single day.)（开导不是一天能完成的。）

CommanderTo humans, relaxation is the strongest mind-numbing drug... I have entirely no desire to go to the Ops room now. I might even be kind of tired now. So that's why they say the more you sleep, the more sleepy you get.对人类来说，轻松可是最大的精神麻痹药剂啊……现在的我，完全没有去指挥室的想法了，甚至还有点困。难怪人们会说，越困越睡，越睡越困。

DushevnayaThen... You could lay down for a bit longer, Commander. I will protect you from the nightmares of night.那……指挥官可以再躺一会，我会守护着你不被夜的梦魇所伤。

CommanderAlright, I'm counting on you.嗯，拜托你了。

(I lie down and close my eyes once again.)（我再次躺下，闭上双眼。）

CommanderOh, right. Will you accompany me again tomorrow? I have five days of vacation, after all.对了，明天杜莎妮还会来陪我吗？我的假期可是有整整5天呢。

DushevnayaOf course! Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow too, till the demons of disease hiding in your body are completely evicted! This is the request of the Great Healer, as well as m-my hope and my destiny!当然会！明天，后天，直到潜伏于指挥官体内的病魔被彻底驱逐为止！这既是治疗师大人对我的嘱托，也是我、我的愿望，是我的使命！

(I can't see it now, but I imagine that Dushevnaya's eyes must be sparkling with happiness now.)（虽然无法看到，但杜莎妮的眼睛现在一定是亮亮的吧？）

(I should not disappoint her for at least the next two days.)（这两天，就不要让她失望好了。）

Section 5 第五节

(Three days later, during the day, in the Commander's lounge aboard the Elmo.)（3天后，白天，艾莫号指挥官休息室。）

ColphneTemperature is back to normal, along with other indicators.体温正常，各项指标数值正常。

ColphneYay~ The Commander has recovered for now~呀~指挥官暂时恢复健康了哟~

Commander...That "for now" feels unnecessary, doesn't it?……这个“暂时”，是不是有点多余？

ColphneThat's called "caution".这叫“严谨”。

ColphneAfter all, maybe the Commander will start not taking care of their body again some day?毕竟人家可不知道，指挥官哪天会不会又开始不爱惜自己的身体呢？

CommanderHaha...哈哈……

ColphneBut back to the topic, you did take a proper rest recently, Commander. You even managed an average of eight hours of sleep these few days~不过话说回来，指挥官真的有在好好休息呀，这几天的睡眠时间居然平均都有8个小时呢~

(I looked at Dushevnaya at my side.)（我看向站在一旁的杜莎妮。）

CommanderAll thanks to Dushevnaya.多亏了杜莎妮。

DushevnayaI-If there's still something I can help with, I'll do it even if I have to run through the the boiling flames of hell.如、如果还有能帮得上忙的地方，即使需要奔赴燃烧着熊熊烈火的炼狱，我也在所不辞。

CommanderThere's no need to do something as dangerous as that...倒也不必做这么危险的事……

CommanderSpeaking of which, since the "Great Healer" has announced my full recovery, isn't it time for me to return to work?话说，既然“治疗师大人”已经宣布我康复了，那工作是不是也可以恢复了？

GrozaCommander, the "vacation of no less than five days" is now only on it's fourth day.但指挥官，我们说好的“不短于5天的假期”，现在还只是第4天而已。

ColphneThat's right! Also, improving indicators for health is just the start. The Commander should dismiss all hope of doing any work during vacations~没错！而且，健康指标的好转，只是个开始。 指挥官还是做好“休假期间工作只是痴心妄想”的准备比较好哦~

Commander...Fine, then will you three now... go do your things? I'll continue my rest...……好吧，那你们就……去忙自己的事？我就继续休息……

("I have a backup terminal for work, anyway." Were my thoughts before Colphne's hand reached for my pillow.)（反正我还有备用的工作终端——在寇尔芙的手伸向我的枕头前，我是这样想的。）

CommanderWait!等等！

ColphneRoutine check! So the reason why the Commander did not keep on resisting is—wow, there really is a backup work terminal over here~例行检查！指挥官没有继续反抗的原因竟然是——哇，这里真的有一个备用工作终端耶~

GrozaThat's no good at all, Commander.指挥官，这样可不行啊。

DushevnayaOh... As expected of the Great Healer... Looks like I do not understand the Commander deeply enough. I need to establish a new understanding about the Commander.唔……不愧是治疗师大人……看来我对指挥官的了解还不太够，应当建立新的认知。

(I follow the terminal with my eyes as it makes its way from Colphne to Groza, who studies it.)（我眼睁睁地看着闪电从寇尔芙手上接过我唯一的备用终端，掂量了几下。）

GrozaThe Commander manages to zero their credibility on the last day of the vacation. Perhaps someone should be assigned to keep watch on the Commander 24/7.最后一天的假期，鉴于指挥官的可信度已经清零，或许该委派一个人全程监督指挥官才行。

Commander...I have only one backup terminal.……我只有这一个备用终端。

GrozaDushevnaya, can I leave this to you?杜莎妮，还是交给你可以吗？

DushevnayaEh? Me?诶？我？

(Groza completely ignores my words. She nods at Dushevnaya, smiling.)（闪电完全无视了我的发言，微笑着对杜莎妮点头。）

GrozaYou've done well the past few days.这几天你就做得很好。

DushevnayaUnderstood! From now on, I will watch over the Commander, never letting them come in contact with Pandora's Box!明白了！我会好好看住指挥官，绝不让指挥官触碰潘多拉的魔盒。

CommanderWhy are you calling it Pandora's Box... There's precious work on it...什么魔盒……那可是宝贵的工作……

Commander...Is no one going to listen to the one at the center of this mess?……没人问一下我这个当事人的意见吗？

ColphneNope.没有哦。

ColphneOn matters of health, please listen to medical professionals~在健康这件事上，请遵循医嘱~

GrozaIndeed. I trust Colphne's judgement.嗯，我相信寇尔芙的判断。

(I sigh. When I turn my head, my eyes meet with Dushevnaya's bright, shining eyes.)（我叹了一口气，转头对上了杜莎妮亮晶晶的眼睛。）

(Clearly, she does not stand on my side of the argument.)（很显然，杜莎妮也没有站在我这边。）

DushevnayaCommander, I've found some other ways to form connections with the unknown powers, let's begin on our journey today too!指挥官，我又找了一些感应未知力量的方法，今天也一起踏上征途吧！

Section 6 第六节

(On a random, sunny day in the dorm, Dushevnaya reminisced with me the events that occurred during my vacation—)（某个晴朗的白日，杜莎妮在休息室中，与我回忆起发生在休假时的轶事——）

DushevnayaThe gravel in an hourglass, could also be a assassin's weapon buried in time...沙漏中的沙砾，也可能是掩埋在时光中的凶器——

DushevnayaUm, I mean that, I was not brave enough to express what I wanted to do back then, so I said some pretty strange things...呃我、我的意思是，当时，我不太敢表达自己想做的事，所以说了一些莫名其妙的话……

DushevnayaAlthough you realized the truth clearly and things ended well, I still feel embarrassed thinking about it...虽然，很快就被指挥官窥明了真相，结果也还不错，但现在想想还是有点羞耻……

DushevnayaDoes the Commander think that sometimes I say, um, sometimes I'm weird and hard to understand?指挥官会不会也觉得我说的话，呃，有时候会很奇怪、很难懂？

CommanderYou are... quite special sometimes.是……挺特别的。

DushevnayaSo you do think I'm a dork!那还是奇怪的意思吧！

DushevnayaTo be honest, I'm not doing it intentionally...其实我、我也不是故意想这样的啊……

DushevnayaBut sometimes, when I don't know how to express myself, or cannot find the right words, it is as if I was controlled by some mysterious power—但有时候，不知道怎么表达，或者找不到合适的语句的时候，就像被什么神秘力量控制了一样——

DushevnayaUh, although it is true that Dolls are controlled by their neural cloud's programming in the first place...呃，虽然人形本来就是被心智程序控制着行动的……

DushevnayaAll in all, do you understand what I mean, Commander? If I... have caused you trouble or distress, I will do my best to erase... no, I'll try my best to adjust... change...总之，指挥官能明白我的意思吗？我——如果给你造成了困扰，我会尽力抹杀——不对，我会尽力调整——更改——

Commander...Your words, are like... um, as clear as the... revelations in the book of prophecies?……你的话语，就像——呃，就像预言之书上的……启示一样清晰……？

Dushevnaya...Eh?……哎？

DushevnayaC-Commander, are you... mimicking my way of speaking?指、指挥官你是在……是在模仿我说话吗？

DushevnayaHeheh... Heheheh...嘿嘿……嘿嘿嘿……

DushevnayaThat's the way, Commander! That's a great imitation!原来是这种感觉，指挥官，模仿得很好哦！

DushevnayaThank you, Commander. Were you trying to cheer me up, by doing that?谢谢你指挥官，你是想、想让我开心起来，才这样做的吗？

DushevnayaTo be cared for by you in this way... I-I am like, like a traveller, almost frozen, but now seeing the light of fire among the wind and snow.能这样被你关照……我、我就像、就像是快要冻僵的旅人，在风雪中看到了火光。

DushevnayaWhat I mean is, I feel... a lot calmer now.我是说，我感觉……冷静多了。

CommanderYou're welcome. To me, Dushevnaya is, um... like a blade that cuts through the fog? Er, perhaps this is not an appropriate metaphor...不客气，对我来说，杜莎妮也，嗯……也像划破白雾的锋刃？呃，这个比喻可能不太恰当……

DushevnayaIs the Commander... praising me?指挥官……难道是在夸我？

DushevnayaFog, Blade, Meaning... I'm pretty great too?白雾，锋刃，是指……我也很厉害的意思？

DushevnayaH-Honestly, I was just thinking that...我、我说实话，刚才我还在想……

Dushevnaya...Compared to the other dolls, I... am like a treasure chest mimic in an adventure story!……我……和其他人形相比，就像冒险故事中的宝箱怪一样不起眼呢！

DushevnayaBut the Commander just called me a "Blade".但是，指挥官将我称呼为，“锋刃”。

DushevnayaHmm... This name is a lot cooler, I like it more!嗯……这个称呼更帅气一些，我更喜欢！

DushevnayaI-I will work hard to live up to this name.我、我会努力，自己与这个称呼相匹配。

DushevnayaErm, no matter whether I'm a blade, a companion, or a treasure chest mimic...嗯，锋刃也好，伙伴也好，就算是宝箱怪也好……

DushevnayaI want to write our adventure story together, Commander!我想和指挥官一起，撰写属于我们的冒险故事！

CommanderAlright.好。

True Strength 真正的强大

DushevnayaCommander...指挥官……

DushevnayaWeakness does not excuse hesitation, but similarly, strength does not excuse ruthlessness.弱小不能成为犹豫不前的理由，同样的，强大也不会成为冷酷的原因。

Ruthlessness is just an excuse.冷酷不过是一个借口。

Never to cower in weakness, never to grow cold and cruel...永不懦弱，永不冷酷……

CommanderIt hides the weakness of your soul.只是为了掩饰自己脆弱的心灵罢了。

DushevnayaExactly! I expected nothing less of a fellow Chosen of Destiny!正是如此，不愧是与我一样被命运所选中之人！

DushevnayaThen may time bear witness to us...就让时间来为我们见证吧……

DushevnayaWhether we are strong or weak, no matter the place or the time, we shall cleave to our true natures, never to shrink away or be lost.不论弱小还是强大，不论何时何地，我们都将秉持本心，永不退缩，永不迷失。

CommanderThank you, Dushevnaya. Thank you for reminding me not to lose my way.谢谢你杜莎妮，每一次都用这种方式提醒我不要迷失。

DushevnayaC-Commander...指、指挥官……

Dushevnaya(Clears throat) I, er! I mean, I simply found a few quotes from the archives.咳咳！这不过是我从书库中寻找到的诫言罢了。

DushevnayaBut as one who shares your destiny, I shall watch you and ensure you stay true to your path.但是作为命运的共同体，我会一直注视着你，帮助你坚守本心。

Song From The past 过去的歌谣

DushevnayaСarefree the songs our children once sang... gilding our minutes and hours...孩童们哼着旧时的歌谣，将忧虑和烦恼抛却到极北的海滨……

DushevnayaCommander? What are you doing here? Did I disturb your rest?指挥官？你怎么来了，是我打扰到你休息了吗？

What's this song?这首歌是？

Do you like singing, Dushevnaya?杜莎妮喜欢唱歌吗？

DushevnayaI don't know its name either. I just heard it on the radio and it stuck with me.我也不知道这曲子的名字，只是在电台节目中听到后，便喜欢上了这首歌曲。

DushevnayaAlso... This song feels very familiar for some reason... Have you heard it before, Commander?而且……总觉得这首曲子有一种莫名的熟悉感……指挥官有听过这首曲子吗？

CommanderOne of my friends sang it before. It's a great song.我曾听一位重要的同伴唱过，是一首非常棒的歌呢。

DushevnayaHehe, really? Then I'll sing it for you, Commander!嘿嘿，是吗！那我也唱给指挥官听吧！

DushevnayaLyrics are the imprints of the soul, and the voice is the bridge that conveys the message buried within your heart...歌词是灵魂的印迹，歌声是传达灵魂所想的桥梁……

DushevnayaCommander, would you mind listening to the cry of my soul?指挥官，可以请你聆听我灵魂的呐喊吗？

CommanderIt would be my pleasure.我很乐意。

Section 2 第二节

DushevnayaGood timing, Commander. Could you help me out? I'm battling with the fae of foul fortunes for the longevity of my frame's parts.哦，指挥官，你来得正好，可以帮我一下吗？帮我从带来厄运的妖灵手中夺回素体零件的寿命。

DushevnayaAn omen from above... Yes, a bright and moderate day, a fine occasion to do absolutely nothing on.大气给出的征兆……嗯，温暖而明亮的日子，适合无所事事。

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。

DushevnayaHark, mine fated one! A joyous occasion to behold thee fore the Fountain of Life.命定之人哟！没想到能在命续之泉前与你相会。

CommanderDushevnaya, have you read any interesting manga lately?杜莎妮最近有看什么有趣的漫画吗？

DushevnayaHeh-heh-heh. Verily, in the hallowed halls of the Elmo's Sanctuary of Knowledge, mine eyes did alight upon a veritable trove of forbidden tomes!哼哼哼，最近我翻阅了艾莫号的知识圣殿，探寻到了尘封已久的禁忌典籍。

DushevnayaThey recounted the tales of a Doll, gracing a gaol as a pious nun, who didst banish villainy with sacred prayers and leaden thunder. Those prayers sound really cool, so I want to try—I mean, use them as inspiration.典籍中讲述了一名在监狱任职修女的人形，用祷言和子弹净化邪恶的冒险故事。里面的祷言十分帅气，下一次我也想试……借鉴一下。

CommanderFeel free to do so if you want to... But why does the description of that Doll feel so familiar...?杜莎妮你喜欢就好……不过总觉得这个故事描述的人形有一种熟悉感……

CommanderI saw that you bought a new frame to draw things on a few days back. What kind of artwork are you going for this time?前几天看到杜莎妮买了新的画框，这一次你又准备了什么样的作品呢？

DushevnayaIndeed! What shall grace your eyes will be that of which has graced mine upon my adventures! I hath bestowed the name "Immortal Pledge of the Sun's Heart" unto this work!是一幅以我在探索中看到的景色为灵感创作的作品哦！其名为《太阳之心的不灭誓言》！

CommanderIf that's the name... are you referring to sunflowers?这个名字……难道是指向日葵？

DushevnayaVerily, it is a flower with a radiant, golden sheen; akin to a hero that embodies hope... Oh, by the way, I'll gift this to you once it's done, Commander!不错，宛如勇者一般象征着光明与希望的金色花朵……啊对了，等这幅画完成就送给指挥官吧！

CommanderDushevnaya, do you think we need more facilities on the Elmo?杜莎妮觉得艾莫号上需要增加什么设施呢？

DushevnayaRather than additional facilities, what it might need instead is a makeover. The decor that graces its halls is way too plain...比起设施，艾莫号的装修未免有些过于单调了……

DushevnayaWhy don't we add things like moving statues, or even a pedestal for a hero's sword...? Oh, and plenty of bookshelves filled with ancient tomes and treasure chests...不如给艾莫号加点装饰，比如会活动的雕像，勇者之剑的基座……啊，还有存放着大量典籍的书柜以及宝箱。

CommanderUmm... I'll think about it.呃……我会考虑的。

CommanderWhat kind of coffee do you like, Dushevnaya?杜莎妮喜欢什么味道的咖啡呢？

DushevnayaThe bitterness that pervades coffee is but another shade of darkness that a hero must conquer, so... Gulp...咖啡的苦涩是勇者所要背负的黑暗，为此……咕噜……

DushevnayaUeh—It's so bitter!!!!呜诶——好苦！！！！

CommanderPfft... Here's some orange juice. This will help.噗……这里还有一杯橙汁，先喝这个缓一缓吧。

CommanderI often hear strange sounds coming from your room, Dushevnaya... What's going on in there?杜莎妮的房间里似乎经常传出奇怪的声音呢……那是什么？

DushevnayaHeh-heh-heh. What doth reach thine ears is but the Chronicler of Time. It grants thee the magnificent power of synchronizing the time difference between realms, of the virtual and of reality when dawn breaks. Its bellow is instilled with a powerful awakening magick that would rouse even the great Mechty.哼哼哼，那是时间的记录者，会在清晨的时候为我校准现实与虚境的时间差。它的声音，是强力的唤醒魔法，即使是米什缇也无法幸免。

CommanderSo... an alarm clock?所以说……是闹钟？

DushevnayaNo. It's the Chronicler of Time.不，是时间的记录者。

CommanderYou've been getting a lot better at working with the Elmo's crew, Dushevnaya.杜莎妮和艾莫号上的大家配合越来越熟练了呢。

DushevnayaA hero never slacks off on training. But more than that, the Elmo is staffed by an interesting crew.勇者从来不会懈怠训练，而且艾莫号上的大家都很有趣啊。

DushevnayaOn our next adventure, I wish to explore the edge of the unknown with the Great Healer, the Bard, the Martial Artist, and of course, the Justice Rider.下一次我要和治疗师、吟游诗人、武道家以及正义骑士一起去探索未知的边界。

CommanderThe Great Healer is Colphne, the Bard and Martial Artist are probably Daiyan and Jiangyu... Is Robella the Justice Rider?治疗师是寇尔芙，吟游诗人和武道家应该是黛烟和绛雨……正义骑士难道是指洛贝拉？

The wafting aroma enchants, carrying away every trace of my weariness.扑鼻的芬芳，顷刻带走满身的疲惫。

The flavors blooming upon my tongue delight, filling my body with warmth and happiness.舌尖的绽放，幸福的暖意随即拥抱全身。

Berserk Form Of Steel I 暴走的钢铁之躯·Ⅰ

DushevnayaWaaaaah—Watch out, Commander! Mine Hero's body is malfunctioning! An emergency council is being held, but no one is able to convince another; they're all bickering to no end!哇啊啊——指挥官小心！勇者的身体出故障了，它们正在召开行动会议，但谁也无法说服谁，正争论不休呢！

(Dushevnaya rushes towards me in an uncanny manner as I enter her dorm room.)（我刚走进杜莎妮的休息室，杜莎妮就以一种诡异的姿态朝着我冲了过来。）

DushevnayaQuick! Move out of the way! Commander, we're going to collide!快快快，快闪开。指挥官，要撞上了！

DushevnayaWoah!!! Owwww...哇啊——！痛痛痛——

DushevnayaAh... The Hero needs... a brief respite...啊……勇者需要，暂时休整……

(She executes a backward somersault at an unexpected angle just as we were about to collide. Dushevnaya slams into the ground in an awkward posture.)（快要撞到我时，杜莎妮以一个让人意想不到的角度向后空翻，然后以奇怪的姿势重重砸在了地上。）

(Dushevnaya's mechanical limbs twitch uncontrollably as her frame lies limp on the ground.)（她现在有气无力地趴在地上，机械手脚不受控地抽搐着。）

(I squat down and pat her head gently.)（我蹲下身，轻轻拍了拍杜莎妮的头。）

DushevnayaUuuuuu... Commander...呜呜指挥官……

CommanderYou seem to be dealing with something troublesome, Dushevnaya. Are you having issues with your frame again?杜莎妮的情况看起来有些复杂，你的素体又出问题了吗？

DushevnayaThe Hero has failed to pass the trial. Evil's punishment arrives at this very moment...勇者的试炼没有通过，邪恶力量的惩罚在此刻降下……

CommanderUm... I don't really get it, but can you try to stand?呃……虽然不太懂，但杜莎妮现在能起来吗？

DushevnayaThe Hero, will try...勇者，会努力……

(Dushevnaya's hands grip mine tightly as I help her up and try to shift her into a standing posture.)（杜莎妮用两只手努力地抱紧我的手，我扶着她，试图将她扶回站立状态。）

CommanderSlowly does it, mind your center of gravity...慢慢的哦，注意重心……

CommanderThat's right, don't rush. Well done, Dushevnaya. A little more and you'll be back on your feet.对对对，不要急，杜莎妮做得很好。再有一点我们就能站起来了。

DushevnayaSuch trifling troubles won't faze the Hero. The crown of bipedal walking will ultimately be seated upon the Hero's head!勇者，不会轻易被苦难打倒。直立行走的皇冠，终将戴在英雄的头上！

CommanderMmhm. It's good that you're enthusiastic about it... Huh? Wait!嗯嗯嗯，杜莎妮有这份干劲很好……诶，等等！

DushevnayaC-Commander—! My leg—指、指挥官——！我的腿——

(Just as I am about to successfully get Dushevnaya back on her feet, her calves suddenly started cramping. She loses her balance... and since she was hugging me tightly, we both fell to the ground.)（在我即将扶起杜莎妮时，杜莎妮的小腿突然抽搐起来，她一个重心不稳，加上又紧紧抱着我，连带着也将我拽到了地面上。）

CommanderUgh... (Cough)呃……咳咳……

DushevnayaC-Commander, you're not going to let the Gravity Demon defeat thee just like that, right?指、指挥官，您不会被重力恶魔打倒吧？

DushevnayaHas the arrow of fate struck your invulnerable Achilles body in the heel?您的阿喀琉斯之身难道被命运的利箭，击中了脆弱的脚踵？

Commander(Coughs) ...I'm fine, just that I've lost all sensation in my arm...咳、咳咳……我还行，就是手臂没感觉了……

CommanderDushevnaya, could you let go of my hand? I need to check my arm.杜莎妮，你先放开我的手，我检查一下。

DushevnayaCommander, I—the Hero has committed a crime! The Hero has committed the horrific crime of causing her dear friend to lose one's left arm—指挥官，我——勇者犯罪了！勇者犯了让挚友失去左臂的恐怖之罪——

CommanderI didn't lose my arm...没有失去没有失去……

CommanderBut I'll have to pay Colphne a visit. Dushevnaya, please carry me and find Colphne.不过确实需要去找寇尔芙看看了，杜莎妮，麻烦把我搬运过去。

DushevnayaUuuuuu... My dear friend! You must hang on, I shall revive thee at the church right away!呜呜呜，我的挚友，你要挺住，马上就到教会让你完全地复活！

Berserk Form Of Steel II 暴走的钢铁之躯·Ⅱ

DushevnayaOh, my dear friend, the Hero hast wronged thee. The Hero would like to express her most sincere apologies.挚友啊，勇者对不起你，勇者向你报以最诚挚的歉意。

DushevnayaThe Hero is willing to go through fire and water for you in return, there will be no complaint even if the Hero has to die a thousand deaths.挚友将来无论是要勇者上刀山，还是下火海，勇者都万死不辞。

CommanderThrough fire and water... a thousand deaths... who taught you those phrases? Never mind, it's not important.上刀山下火海……这是跟谁学的词？算了，不重要。

DushevnayaUuuu... My dear friend! This is all the Hero's fault! This is so shameful that the only path forward is self-destruction!呜呜呜，挚友，这一切都是勇者的错，勇者羞愧得只能自裁了！

CommanderNo, don't! Absolutely don't! Actually, my arm has almost made a full recovery now... No need to bring me to Colphne. Just let me check on my arm for a bit.别别别，千万不要！我其实已经快要回复了……也不用去寇尔芙那。杜莎妮，先让我仔细检查一下。

(Dushevnaya watches each and every move of mine with curious intent. She is close enough such that she's practically pressing herself against me.)（在我检查手部情况时，杜莎妮好奇地盯着我的一举一动，整个人都要贴到我身上了。）

DushevnayaThe arm of a human is so different from the one attached to my frame...人类的手臂，和我的素体区别好大啊……

DushevnayaStructurally similar, but fundamentally different...虽然结构相似，但本质却不同……

CommanderInteresting. The other Dolls have made similar comments too.杜莎妮在说这些的时候，说法和大家一样呢。

DushevnayaThe Hero has to pursue new knowledge with passion to be able to defeat the demon king!勇者也要积极学习新知识，才能打败命运的魔王啊！

CommanderNever mind what I said... Anyway, looks like my arm itself is actually fine, but I do have a dislocation from falling down too hard.当我没说……还好，手臂没出问题，就是刚才倒下时太用力，发生了脱臼。

DushevnayaA dislocation?脱臼？

CommanderIt's like if the bearing at the end of your arm got separated from the socket that connects your arm to your torso. When that happens to a human, the condition is called a dislocation.可以理解为你小臂素体这一块的结构和轴承关节发生了脱离，这种情况放在人类身上就叫脱臼。

DushevnayaOhhh. So that's how it is... So, like this?哦哦，原来如此原来如此，是这样吗——？

(Dushevnaya suddenly removes her left forearm. She cheerfully waves it at me with her functioning right arm like an excited child getting her parents' attention.)（杜莎妮突然拆开了自己的左手小臂，一脸阳光明媚地用自己运行良好的右手拿着自己的左手，并兴高采烈地朝我小幅度挥舞。）

DushevnayaIs mine attempt demonstrative of such explanation, dear friend?吾的尝试是否正确，挚友？

CommanderI... guess.... Ah... Um... Basically. Yeah...………………对……吧。啊……嗯……基本正确……

DushevnayaThis matter happens to my frame on a regular basis, so I am highly familiar with the solution to this problem.此种情况，经常在吾身上发生。吾之应对，早已熟练无比。

DushevnayaDemon named Dislocation! This Hero swears to destroy you—!名为脱臼的恶魔啊，此刻，吾誓要将你消灭——！

(Dushevnaya shoves her left arm back onto the socket with a loud "snap" before I can even react to what's happening.)（在我来不及反对时，杜莎妮“咔”地一下，将拆下来的左臂素体安了回去。）

Commander...………………

DushevnayaMy dear friend! Allow me to defeat the Dislocation Demon within thy vessel as well!挚友啊，你身上的脱臼恶魔，也由我来打败吧！

(Dushevnaya attempts to reach for my injured left arm.)（杜莎妮试图靠近我受伤的左臂。）

CommanderNo, no that's okay! I'll handle this myself!不不不，不用了不用了，我自己来就行！

(I move my forearm into the right position before she can act, sweating profusely in the process.)不等杜莎妮动手，我连忙将小臂扶正，途中流了满头大汗。

CommanderNow I really have to get help from Colphne... Can you help me, Dushevnaya?这下真的要去找寇尔芙了……杜莎妮，麻烦你。

DushevnayaU-understood! My beloved dear friend, I shall now send thee to the church in a flash!知，知道了！亲爱的挚友，我这就以电光火石的速度把你送往教会！

CommanderD-Do that slowly...慢，慢慢来就好……

Berserk Form Of Steel III 暴走的钢铁之躯·Ⅲ

CommanderMy left arm will need some time to recover, so do try to mind that in the meantime. Anyway, what's happening to your frame, Dushevnaya?我的左臂最近要休息一段时间，杜莎妮也要稍微注意些。不过，杜莎妮的素体最近到底是怎么了？

DushevnayaI, too, have sunk into the mire of doubt. Old memories show no record of such severe limb conflict.吾也深陷疑惑的泥沼，旧日的回忆中，并无肢体严重争议之时。

DushevnayaSuch difficulty must be punishment from a Demon, I, I...肢体难以控制，必定是恶魔降下了惩罚，吾、吾——

(The hair flaps near Dushevnaya's ears suddenly perk up like a puppy. She grabs my shoulders with excitement.)（杜莎妮耳旁的两缕头发突然像小狗耳朵一样翘了起来，她激动地用双手按住我的肩膀。）

DushevnayaI swear to guard my cherished friend even if I'm trapped in the deepest pits of desperation!吾深陷绝境，也绝对会守护吾最重要的挚友啊！

Commander(Hisses in pain) Dushevnaya, I appreciate the sentiment, but be a bit more gentle...嘶——杜莎妮，心意我收到了，动作轻一点……

CommanderI know you grabbed my shoulders, but if you do it too hard and too suddenly, the shock will travel to my arm as well.我的手臂脱臼了，虽然你拍的是我的肩膀，但太用力也会震到手臂。

DushevnayaI-I'm so sorry...对、对不起……

(Her hair flaps lower like a sad puppy.)（杜莎妮狗狗耳朵一般的头发落了下去。）

(I pat her head with my right hand, as if I was comforting a sad puppy.)（我用右手摸了摸她的头，像在安抚一只失落的小狗。）

CommanderDon't worry about it. Are your limbs going out of control a lot recently?没什么大问题。杜莎妮，最近肢体难以控制的情况很常见吗？

DushevnayaYeah.嗯。

CommanderIs it getting more frequent? Have you checked with Rosalind and Mayling? Any maintenance reports?频次相比之前更多了？罗莎琳和美玲都看过吗？有没有检修报告？

(Dushevnaya shakes her head in silence.)（杜莎妮沉默地摇了摇头。）

CommanderWhy didn't you go for a checkup?为什么不去检查呢？

DushevnayaT-there's something that I must protect...吾、吾有必须守护的事物……

CommanderDushevnaya, I'm glad for your desire to protect people or things, but you should prioritize the condition of your frame.杜莎妮想守护什么人或什么事的心意很好，但素体状况更重要。

CommanderBesides, a functioning frame with no abnormalities will enable you to better protect the things and people you love, don't you agree?而且，素体正常也能让杜莎妮更好地守护自己在乎的人事物，不是吗？

DushevnayaI-In any case... The stars have foretold that it would be unwise to engage in matters of frame maintenance for these few days!吾……总之，星辰预兆，近日不宜动素体！

DushevnayaMy dear friend, thy goodwill is remembered within mine heart. But say no more, for my decision on the matter of this frame is decided!挚友，汝之好意，吾铭记在心。但不必多说，素体之事，吾心意已决！

DushevnayaWhat is most important now is that my dear friend rises from the seating position. Rise, my dear friend—更重要之事，乃是挚友之起身。起身吧，我的挚友——

Commander(Sigh)哎……

(Despite my attempts to press her for an answer, she dodges the question repeatedly.)（尽管我想要追问，杜莎妮却总是避开问题。）

CommanderIf you don't want to give me an answer right now, then I won't press the issue.既然现在杜莎妮不想说，那我就不问。

CommanderBut you cannot leave this severe case of frame control loss untreated indefinitely.但像杜莎妮这种严重的素体失控症状不能一直拖着不处理。

CommanderI know you won't be happy to hear this, but I'll get Rosalind or Mayling to conduct a full check on your frame next week. Repairs and replacements will happen if necessary.哪怕杜莎妮听了会不开心，下周我也会让罗莎琳或者美玲给你做全面检查。素体出问题的部分，该修的要修，该换的要换。

CommanderDo you understand, Dushevnaya?听到了吗，杜莎妮？

DushevnayaYour will is clear to me!挚友之心，吾心甚明！

Berserk Form Of Steel IV 暴走的钢铁之躯·Ⅳ

CommanderDushevnaya, it's time for your checkup. Where are you?杜莎妮，去做检查的时间到了，人呢？

DushevnayaDear friend, I-I'm doing my best—挚友，吾、吾正在努力——

(Metallic clinking sounds come from Dushevnaya's room. I knock on her door.)（杜莎妮的屋内，传来叮叮当当的金属碰撞声。我上前敲了敲门。）

CommanderCan I enter?我可以进来吗？

DushevnayaThe hourglass of time needs to be flipped for a moment...时间的沙漏，只需往后倒转须臾……

CommanderAlright. I'll wait for you.好，我再等等你。

(The door to Dushevnaya's dorm room opens slowly after a while.)（过了一会儿，杜莎妮休息室的门缓缓打开了。）

(Dushevnaya's limbs appear to be fully functional, but her fingers and toes seem to be producing slight twitches. They look soft and powerless, as if there are no bones present within.)（杜莎妮的手脚看似正常地运作着，但手指脚趾都在微微抽搐，显现出一种仿佛被抽走骨头般的柔软感。）

DushevnayaMy frame is perfectly fine, dear friend. No need for a checkup—挚友，吾的素体十分正常，无需检查——

CommanderGive me your hand.把手给我。

DushevnayaDear friend...挚友……

(Dushevnaya complains softly as she awkwardly shows me her hands. I hold them gently and begin a close examination.)（杜莎妮小声叫着我，别扭地将双手递过来，我轻轻握住她的两只手，开始详细检查。）

CommanderYour fingertips are trembling. Not only are your phalanges joined together incorrectly, they also twitch sporadically.指尖颤抖、指骨错位，手指还会间歇性抽搐。

CommanderThese are some really old scratch marks. It's hard to sustain scratches this deep on the Elmo. Did you swap out your hands, Dushevnaya?手部素体出现老旧的深度划痕，这种划痕在艾莫号上很难形成。杜莎妮，你给自己换了新的手部素体？

DushevnayaMmm...嗯……

CommanderLet's have a seat on that sofa.我们去那张沙发上坐下。

(With her hand in mine, I lead Dushevnaya to the sofa. She suddenly stumbles on the way, so I quickly catch her before she falls.)（我牵着杜莎妮前往沙发，在行走过程中，她突然一个踉跄，我连忙扶住她。）

DushevnayaS-Sorry...对、对不起……

CommanderLet's sit down first. I need to have a look at your legs.先坐下。我要再看看你的腿部素体。

DushevnayaT-there's no need for that... My legs are fine, dear friend. I haven't changed them. No problems!不、不要啦……挚友，吾的腿部素体是好的，没有换过，没问题！

(Dushevnaya hurriedly plants her hands on her thighs, which suddenly jump up in response.)（杜莎妮慌忙地将手按在自己腿上，被她按着的大腿突然猛地弹跳了一下。）

DushevnayaMy dear friend...挚、挚友……

CommanderDoes it look like there's no problem? Dushevnaya, I will have Mayling do a full inspection even if I have to go against your wishes. You agreed to this last week.这是没问题吗？杜莎妮，就算违背你的意愿，今天我也要让美玲给你做全面检查。上周你也答应过我这件事。

DushevnayaI-I must not abandon this frame, dear friend... To be honest, I went for a checkup after our last conversation, and indeed, this frame is troubled with numerous issues. But these are issues that I am willing to endure, as the complications happen at a very low rate...挚友，吾、吾不能舍弃这具素体……吾其实，在上次和挚友分开后，就去做了检查，吾的素体确实有诸多问题，但吾能忍受。此类问题，瞬发的几率甚小……

CommanderYou had Mayling check your body? Ah... So that anonymous test report was for your frame. She wouldn't tell me who it belonged to no matter what, saying that the Doll in question asked her to keep her identity a secret.你找过美玲？啊……上周那份匿名的检测报告是你的。美玲死活不愿意告诉我那份报告属于谁，说是做检测的人形拜托了她。

CommanderDushevnaya, I can understand why you don't want to change your frame. The parts that make up your frame may not be highly compatible with each other, but they do provide you with combat performance far exceeding that of a normal frame. It is for this reason that you don't want to change it out, right? But if you let this drag on...杜莎妮，我能理解你的想法，你的素体虽然各个部件的兼容性较差，但确实在作战中能发挥远超一般素体的作战效能。因为这个理由，你才不愿意换吧？但长久这么下去……

DushevnayaI know, but mine ultimate purpose and meaning is to serve as a guardian for my dear friends. This is my power, a born talent bestowed to me by the will of the universe, and I must not reject it!吾知道，但吾的终极意义，乃是保护吾的挚友。这也是吾的能力，赋予吾的天赋，吾不能拒绝它！

(Dushevnaya speaks with righteous confidence. I can almost see the fire blazing in her eyes.)（杜莎妮说得义正辞严，双眸中彷佛燃起熊熊烈火。）

CommanderThings will get really bad if your frame goes haywire in combat... You know this, right, Dushevnaya?如果在战场上素体失控，问题可就严重了……这一点你明白的吧，杜莎妮？

Dushevnaya...Yes, I know. Not only would the Hero meet her demise, her actions would also endanger her precious teammates.……是，吾明白，届时勇者自身陨落不谈，也会牵连最宝贵的队友。

DushevnayaBut... I-I... simply can't bring myself to replace this body...可是，吾，吾……下不了决心更换这具身体……

CommanderI understand how you feel, Dushevnaya. Hmm... Based on what I read in the report, a way to keep your frame does exist.我明白你的心情了，杜莎妮。嗯……从那份报告的情况来看，如果不更换你的素体，也确实存在办法。

CommanderIt's just that we'll have to update the engineering technology we use aboard the Elmo. I'm afraid I'll need to trouble Mayling with a bunch of overtime again... I'll talk to Mayling about this, so make sure to thank her.只是艾莫号的工程技术得更新迭代，恐怕又要辛苦美玲多加班了……我会和美玲讲这件事。你也要多感谢她。

(Dushevnaya hugs me tightly to the point that I am nearly unable to breathe.)（杜莎妮猛地牢牢抱住了我，让我几乎喘不过气。）

DushevnayaYou have my deepest gratitude, my most beloved friend!感激不尽，我最爱的挚友啊！

CommanderIt's nutritionally balanced, but the flavors are kind of muted.虽然营养很均衡，但是调味似乎有些太淡了。

With a single bite, their freshness blooms upon the palate.一口下去，食材的鲜味在口中绽放。

Kitchen Chat 3 厨房闲谈3

DushevnayaUm... I did manage to cook it, but uh... It might be a little charred.呃……料理完成了，好像……那个……稍微有那么一点点烧焦了。

An indescribably complex sensation surges in my chest, leaving my mind in a daze.难以名状的复杂口感涌上心间，以至脑海只剩一片茫然。

CommanderA mysterious flavour—yet somehow, it feels familiar.迷之口感，但吃起来有点熟悉。

DushevnayaI-I'm sorry!对、对不起！

CommanderKeep up the effort!继续努力吧！

My once-keen sense of taste slowly loses its bearings amid this strange experience.昔日敏锐的味觉在此刻陌生的体验中逐渐迷失了方向。

Lobby Group Chat 1 休息室群聊1

GrozaThe materials on the supply rack look very new... Weren't you planning to dispose of them at first?货架上的维修材料看上去很新……那些不是原计划打算丢了的吗？

HelenGroza, were you looking for Mayling?闪电，你在找美玲吗？

GrozaYes, I had some things I needed to confirm with her first.是的，有些工作需要和她确认一下。

HelenShe was in a good mood last night. She had quite a lot to drink before passing out at the bar.昨晚她心情不错，喝了不少之后就在吧台旁睡下了。

DushevnayaHelen brought her back to her room to rest. She should still be asleep.海伦把她送进了房间休息，现在应该还在睡吧。

GrozaThe items on the Elmo's service checklist are all back to normal, but there are no repairs logged at all.艾莫号上报修的物件今早已经恢复了正常，但是完全没有维修记录。

DushevnayaAh! Then the "Ghost" must have done it!啊！那个一定是“幽灵”做的！

GrozaThe "Ghost"?“幽灵”？

DushevnayaMayling said there's been a ghost on the Elmo recently. Once she goes to sleep, her work ends up getting done by itself.美玲说最近艾莫号上好像有幽灵出没，只要她睡下之后，工作就会被自动完成。

HelenHehe, Dushevnaya's first guess was that this was something Mayling did unconsciously.呵呵，杜莎妮最开始猜测，是美玲在无意识状态下完成的工作。

DushevnayaIn order to find this "Ghost", I've been observing her with my Mystic Eyes of Depth Perception for a while now.为了找到那位“幽灵”，我可是用这双洞察之眼仔细观察了很久。

DushevnayaSo far, I can say that after Mayling fell asleep, no second personality awakened and took charge of the work!在美玲睡着之后，完全没有第二人格苏醒负责工作！

DushevnayaSo it was a benefactor hidden in the darkness, helping Mayling finish her work all by themselves.是隐匿于黑夜之中的奉献者，独自替美玲完成了工作。

BalthildeGroza, have the parts we just ordered arrived yet?闪电，新采购的一批零件到了吗？

GrozaMhm.嗯。

BalthildeLeave them to me. I'll help Mayling take care of them.交给我吧，我会帮美玲处理好的。

GrozaWhen I went to the warehouse just now, I saw the parts that were scheduled to be discarded still in their original places.刚才我去仓库发现原本计划废弃的零件似乎还在原本的地方。

BalthildeEven items scheduled for dumping can still be dismantled and put to use.就算是被废弃的物件，拆解之后仍然还有可以利用的方式。

BalthildeMaking full use of everything is my watchword and I'll live up to it.物尽其用的准则，我会贯彻到底的。

DushevnayaThis benefactor in the darkness who helps and does repairs... could it be you, Balthilde?维修、帮忙……黑夜之中隐匿的奉献者，难道就是你——巴希达！

BalthildeHah? Oh, I just did it because it was convenient.哈？顺手的事情。

DushevnayaMayling and I have made many offerings to summon this benefactor. Have you received them?为了召唤出奉献者，我和美玲可是献上了不少供奉。你收到了吗？

BalthildeAh... So you were the ones who left those snacks and drinks all over the place.啊……原来那些乱放的食物和饮料，是你们干的。

Lobby Group Chat 2 休息室群聊2

DushevnayaYou—what are you doing here?!你、你怎么会在这里！

SextansWhy am I not allowed to be here?我为什么不能在这里？

DushevnayaThis is a forbidden place! All light and fire has been imbued into steel by the master smiths and enshrined within this holy sanctuary...这里是禁忌的所在，所有的光与火，都被工匠锻造进钢铁之中，纳入这座圣殿……

DushevnayaI knew it! You're here to steal the Commander's treasures!我知道了，你一定是来窃取指挥官的宝物的！

DushevnayaHmph! Unfortunately, the great wyrm Fafnir guards this place, and so you must pass my trial before you are permitted entry.哼，巨龙法芙娜镇守于此，想进去得先通过我的考验。

SextansInteresting. Perhaps it is as you say and that the armaments within this armory...有趣。或许真如你所说，这个武器库收藏的枪械……

SextansMight be worth a little more than an abandoned "vessel" like myself.会比我这个废弃的“容器”，更有价值一些。

DushevnayaEr, hey, that's not what I meant...喂，我、不是这个意思……

SextansAlthough I just happened to be passing by this place, when it comes to trials...虽然我只是偶然经过这里，不过说到考验……

SextansPerhaps the harsher they are, the better the insight they will give me into my true nature. And that will add to the revelry of the final deicide.也许更多的苦难，有助于我认清真正的本质，也能为最终的弑神……增添更多狂欢时刻。

SextansNow then, let us begin. Be it a bloody ordeal or razor-edged torture, I welcome them both.那么，开始吧。无论是猩红的试炼，还是尖利的拷问，我都欣然接受。

DushevnayaIn that case, uh... I won't hold back! O judgement of destiny—那……那我就不客气了！命运的裁决——

(But before she can finish, a pair of figures approach from the distance, interrupting Dushevnaya's incantation.)（话音未落，两个身影由远及近，打断了杜莎妮的施法……）

Nemesis...Through the gaps in the dust...passing through...the gate of darkness...……尘埃的间隙……穿梭……无光之门……

DushevnayaNemesis? So you DO approve of what I said!纳美西丝？果然，你也认同我的说法吧！

KrolikHey, did we HAVE to come here?喂，非得来这才行？

NemesisA whetstone beneath the ripples... the tide's concealment... a fleeting glimmer of light...水波下的砥石……潮隐……闪现的灵光……

DushevnayaWhat? There's really treasure hidden here?什么？真的有宝藏在这里？

SextansSo you hide your true intentions with obscure ciphers. A most effective method. However, you have successfully piqued my interest in this armory... Now then, let us see what means his Lordship has employed to secure his repeated victories.用晦涩的密语掩藏真实的意图，不错的手段。不过，你们已经成功引起了我对这个武器库的兴趣……就让我看看，那位阁下究竟都用了什么，才一次次将胜利的果实收归囊中。

Nemesis...……

KrolikHahahaha, she's got you there!哈哈哈哈……你这家伙，也有吃瘪的时候！

DushevnayaHey, hurry up and tell me what Nemesis said!快，快告诉我纳美西丝都说了什么！

KrolikShe said... You're all getting in the way and she wants to head inside! Honestly, I have no idea why you're so picky about where you perform your divinations. So many rules to follow.她说……你们挡道了，她要进去！真搞不懂，占个卜还要挑地方，规矩真多。

Dushevnaya...Eh? Is that all? But—……哎？只是这样？可是——

KrolikAlright, that's enough chitchat for now. The Commander's still waiting for the results of the divination. Pardon us—行了行了，指挥官还等着她的占卜结果呢，借过——

(The door to the armory opens and closes, and Sextans uses this opportunity to finally see what's inside it.)（武器室的门打开又关上，六分仪借着机会终于窥见内里究竟。）

SextansHuh. In the end there was no so-called treasure in there after all... So that's all there is to it.呵，结果并没有所谓的“宝藏”么……不过如此。

Hero's Carnival 勇者的狂欢

CheyanneWell, since you're both so close together, why not just lean directly on the Commander?反正都离得那么近了，要不你直接靠到指挥官的身上呢？

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1Dushevnaya was originally created as a nursing Doll, but her subsequent abandonment in a nursing home led to her developing a very strong desire to be needed. Before she lost her neural logs, questions like "Would things have been different if I had done a little better?" often resounded in her heart. In Griffin, she was a capable Tactical Doll known as KSVK, and her desire to be needed was satisfied. Therefore, when Griffin underwent its restructuring, she did not choose to return to her job as a nurse. Instead, she and her friend DP-12 chose to be reassigned, and they were placed in a certain large corporation as bodyguard Dolls. However, Dushevnaya's new lease on life did not go too well—after accidentally stumbling across her employer's secrets, she was slated for destruction. While she barely managed to escape that fate thanks to being rescued by her friend, she could not maintain a hold on her neural logs. During her flight, she lost her trusted friend once again, and her neural logs were repeatedly erased and scrambled during this time, like the scattered stars in the night sky. It was only when Suomi discovered her ruined frame that she finally managed to swim free from the riptide of a destiny that was beyond her control. Due to her repeated instances of memory loss, Dushevnaya is particularly sensitive to the topic of abandoning items and friends and occasionally ends up losing faith in herself. However, she often hides her true feelings with her exaggerated manner of speaking. The most common impression that her friends have of her is: "I have no idea what Dushevnaya is talking about sometimes." That said, while Dushevnaya's friends might not fully understand what she's saying, her earnest and hardworking attitude transcends mere words. She carries out every given task with complete sincerity and cherishes all her friends. Anyone who treats her with kindness can expect Dushevnaya to do her best to fulfill their requests lest the other person be disappointed in her. The most important thing to Dushevnaya is protecting her friends. In order to keep others from worrying, she rarely mentions her desire to recover memories, but she still holds on to the hope of doing so—and, perhaps, the key to unlocking the vault of her memories is right beside her.作为看护人形诞生的杜莎妮，却由于在疗养院被抛弃的经历，产生了对强大与被需要的渴望。“是不是我做得再好一些，结果就不会是这样呢？”在她尚未丢失心智记录时，这样的疑问不断回响在她冰冷的胸腔中。 在格里芬，她成为了优秀的战术人形KSVK，被人需要的渴望得到了满足。因此，在格里芬面临重组时，她也没有选择重拾看护工作，而是与好友DP-12一同接受安排，被派往某大型企业担任护卫人形。 但杜莎妮崭新的人生之旅并不顺利——她因为无意中接触到了老板的秘密而面临被销毁的命运，虽然在千钧一发之际被好友救出，却已经无法逃离丢失心智记录的未来。在逃亡中，她又失去了自己信赖的同伴，她的心智记录也在这些经历中反复丢失、变得混乱，就像被搅乱秩序的星空一般。直到她残破不堪的素体被索米发现，她终于从无法掌控的命运洪流中脱离出来。 由于多次记忆丧失，杜莎妮对抛弃物品、丢下同伴等事情变得愈发敏感，偶尔也会表露出不自信的一面。但她真实的情绪，却时常被隐藏于那略显夸张的说话方式之下。“杜莎妮说话好难懂哦。”这是伙伴们对她产生的最深刻的印象。 即便无法完全理解她的话语，她认真而又努力的行事作风却胜过一切言语。杜莎妮会认真执行每一个任务，珍惜每一个同伴。只要是对她抱有善意的人，杜莎妮总是会尽力完成对方的需求，并避免对方的失望。 对于现在的杜莎妮来说，她最重要的事就是保护身边的同伴。为了不让别人担心，她现在已经很少提起寻回记忆的事，但仍旧一如既往地怀抱着希望——开启记忆之匣的钥匙，或许就在身边。

Record 2After the mission ended, Dushevnaya sat in silence on the return flight. "Why the long face?" DP-12 asked with a smile. In response, Dushevnaya stared out the window, as though she were thinking about something. However, a careful look revealed the truth—she was simply spacing out. "It's the sunrise. See, the sun's coming up," Dushevnaya said as she pointed out the window. "It made me think of those bright and happy days..." "Those days in Griffin?" DP-12 chuckled as she heard her answer. "Or perhaps those days with the Commander?" Dushevnaya blushed; perhaps DP-12 had hit the nail on the head. "We hardly ever get to go on missions together, so why don't we talk more? Perhaps I might be able to tell you some news about the Commander." Though two of them were working as bodyguards for a certain family in the Orlog Financial Conglomerate, there were many Dolls in the conglomerate, and Dushevnaya could not always be partnered with DP-12 on missions. Unfortunately for Dushevnaya, she had an exceptionally long maintenance session scheduled after the end of this mission, so she would not be able to meet DP-12 for a long time. "Please, enlighten me about the Commander! I so sincerely plea—" Even more unfortunately, the aircraft touched down before they could get the conversation going. DP-12 patted the dejected Dushevnaya on her head, and then the two of them disembarked in an orderly fashion. Since they were assigned to different groups, they bade each other a simple farewell and then parted ways. "..." There was a hint of disappointment in Dushevnaya's heart. She wasn't sure if it was because she didn’t get to say goodbye to DP-12 properly or because she never learned what she needed to say. Next time... next time, she'd try to get the maintenance session done ahead of time. As she pondered the idea in silence, Dushevnaya boarded the bodyguards' cabin on the train.任务结束后，在回程的飞机上，杜莎妮始终沉默着没有说话。 “怎么了？这副表情。”DP-12笑着问 而被问到的杜莎妮，此刻正紧盯着飞机上的窗口，仿佛在思考着什么一样。但仔细看就可以知道——她正在发呆。 “是曙光，你看，天亮了。”杜莎妮指了指窗外，“让我回想起了，那些明亮温暖的日子……” “让你想起在格里芬的日子了？”听到这个回答后，DP-12笑了，“或者说，你只是单纯地想起了指挥官。” 或许是被说中了心事的原因，杜莎妮的脸有些红了。 “难得我们一同执行任务，不和我多聊聊？说不定，我还能告诉你一些指挥官的消息。” 尽管二人一同接受安排，为奥尔劳格财团的某个家族担任护卫人形，但这里人形众多，杜莎妮并不总能和DP-12一同执勤。 不巧的是，这次任务结束后，杜莎妮预定的监修时间比平时还要格外得长，导致她要很久无法与DP-12见面了。 “那、那就请揭示吧，关于指挥官的讯息！这是我最虔诚的祈求——” 只可惜，这好不容易开启的话题，DP-12还没来得及和她开始聊，飞机便已经落地了。DP-12拍了拍面露遗憾的杜莎妮的头顶，两人按部就班地沿着升降梯走下去。由于分组不同，她们简单地打了招呼后，便就此别过了。 “……”杜莎妮的心里隐约有了一些失落，她甚至不清楚这是因为和DP-12分别，还是因为那没能听到的情报。 下次……如果可以提前完成临时检修就好了。 杜莎妮默默地这样想着，登上了保镖人形专用的厢车。

Record 3"Can you tell me another story?" Gloria entered the warehouse, then sat down beside Dushevnaya, and imitated her in gazing up at the sky through the hole in the roof. "..." Dushevnaya did not answer, and only shook her head. Ever since that captured Doll had called her "KSVK", Dushevnaya had undergone a change. In the past, she used to follow Gloria around, but recently, Dushevnaya had been spacing out by herself. "Then... then I'll tell you a story instead!" Several seconds of silence passed, and Gloria swallowed the impulse to ask what was going on. While she didn't know how much longer she could keep doing it, she didn't want to break this silence, at least not for the time being. "Long, long ago, there was a hero who lost her memory. Through the wilderness she roamed... in her hands her destined arms. Hoisted upon her back, rested the hopes of her village..." This setup sounded vaguely familiar to Dushevnaya. At last, she looked down from the sky and at the girl. "This hero from this story... Am I her? You're talking like me too..." But the truth was, despite losing her memories, Dushevnaya's instincts still told her that this was not where she truly belonged. Apart from the girl beside her, nobody here truly considered her a friend. No, perhaps even this girl... "So, you realized it, Beryl." Gloria batted her eyelashes, and then smiled at Dushevnaya. "So, won't you stay here? The 'village' needs a hero like you, and I... I need a friend like you too... So please, don't leave me." Clearly, Gloria had realized something. "..." Dushevnaya didn't know how to process this complex blend of emotions. She was terrified of being abandoned, and right now, someone desperately needed her. Yet at the same time, she had to discover the truth about the place where she ought to be— In the end, Dushevnaya didn't say anything. She simply raised her head again and looked up at the sky in silence.“你还能再给我讲个故事吗？”葛洛丽娅来到仓库中，学着杜莎妮的样子，坐在了她的身旁，和她一起抬起头，仰望着那块破洞中的天空。 “……”杜莎妮没有回答，只是摇了摇头。 自从那个被抓捕的人形喊出“KSVK”后，杜莎妮的情绪就发生了一些变化。明明不久前还和葛洛丽娅一同行动，但最近的杜莎妮，却总是独自发呆。 “那、那我给你讲个故事吧！”葛洛丽娅沉默了数秒，艰难地将自己想要问个清楚的冲动压抑下去，尽管她也不知道自己还能压抑多久，但至少现在，她不想破坏这一分钟的静谧。 “从前，有个失去记忆的无名英雄，在荒野中奔跑着……奔跑着……她手中所紧握的，是与她宿命相关的武器。而此刻她身上所肩负的，则是全村人的希望……” 这个场景令杜莎妮察觉到了一丝熟悉感，她终于从天空中移开视线，看向身旁的女孩。“故事的主角……是我吗？而且，你还在模仿我说话……” 但事实上，即便杜莎妮失去了过去的记忆，她仍旧直觉地感到，这里并不是她真正的归属。除了身边的这名女孩，也并没有人将她真正地当作同伴。 不，或许，就连这名女孩也…… “你察觉到啦，铂利尔。”葛洛丽娅眨了眨眼睛，笑着看向杜莎妮，“所以，不要离开这里好不好？‘村子’需要像你这样的勇者，我……也需要你这名朋友……不要离开我。” 很明显，葛洛丽娅察觉到了什么。 “……” 杜莎妮不知道该如何回应这份复杂的热情，潜意识里惧怕着被抛弃的她，却在此刻被人热烈地需要着。 但她必须找到真相，到自己该去的地方去—— 最终，杜莎妮还是什么都没有说，她沉默着再次抬起头，看向天空。

Record 4Amidst a vast expanse of sand, Dushevnaya clambered up toward the top of a sand dune. Fine grains cascaded down the cracked soles of her feet. Then, the wind gusted up into a miniature sandstorm. Dushevnaya had long since run out of strength, and it blew her into a patch of sand not far off, sending her further and further away from her destination. There was a dull metallic crunch as her hip joint finally gave way, accompanied by an alert informing her that she was dangerously low on power. Her frame was practically scrap at this point, and she couldn't even get to her feet, let alone get past the dune before her. "...'Tis be mine end, it seems." As Dushevnaya realized that she would die alone in this place, she muttered to herself like a hero facing her noble end. As for why she was in this place, that was because Gloria's bounty hunter team had captured a Doll, who said the name Dushevnaya used when she was still in Griffin. Dushevnaya chose to place her faith in the captured Doll and set out for the location she had been given—namely, the other side of this sand dune—in the hopes of learning about her past. In fact, she had even pointed her gun at those bounty hunters just so she could leave them. Dushevnaya's fingers brushed up against something that seemed broken. Her worn hydraulics shrieked as the broken metal of her "fingerbones" closed around something in her breast pocket, and then she brought it out before her eyes. "This is..." It was a motorcycle-shaped ornament made from nuts and bolts. Several of the pieces holding it together were broken, and the motorcycle fell apart before her eyes. "Was it because of the ELIDs? Or was it when I rolled over those stones just now..." Before she sank into sleep mode, Gloria's tear-filled face flashed through her mind. "...Alas, her heart shall find no forgiveness for me."广袤的沙海之中，杜莎妮蹒跚地向着顶端攀爬着，细沙从她残破的脚下流过。 直到一阵风吹过，形成了一个小小的风暴，将早已体力不支的杜莎妮吹到不远处的沙地上。让她距离自己的目标地点越来越远。 随着一声沉重的金属音响起，她的腿部轴承终于彻底坏了，伴随着电量告急的警告，现在的她，拖着破破烂烂的素体，甚至连爬起来都做不到，更不可能支撑她翻越这片沙丘。 “……看来，这就是最后的时刻了。”意识到自己即将孤独地毁灭于这里的杜莎妮，仿佛末路的英雄一般，小声地自言自语着。 而她之所以在这里，正是因为葛洛丽娅所在的赏金猎人小队，捕获了一名人形，而这名人形告知了杜莎妮在格里芬时期所用过的名字。 所以杜莎妮选择了相信她，并前往她给出的坐标——也就是这片沙丘的尽头，来寻找自己的过去。 甚至——不惜将枪口对向那些赏金猎人，只为能够离开那里。 杜莎妮的手指似乎触碰到了什么破碎的东西。 破损的液压杆发出刺耳的声音，残缺的金属指骨收进，她从怀中掏出那些碎片。 “这是……” 那是用螺丝和螺母组装成的摩托车摆件。几个链接的金属件完全碎裂，摩托车四分五裂。 “是生骸？还是刚刚滚过石头的时候……” 在休眠之前，杜莎妮的脑海中，浮现出了葛洛丽娅那张满是泪水的脸。 “……她恐怕，不会原谅我了吧。”

Record 5A teeming sea of memory fragments blended together in Dushevnaya's neural cloud, filling her mind with chaos. She didn't always do her creative work under such conditions, but this was an exception—it was the first time she had been so conscious while "dreaming", which was why she wanted to put all the fragments which filled her mind down onto the canvas as quickly as possible. Inside a simple room in the Doll Community, Dushevnaya set out the canvas and paint that her friends had helped her find. Then, she closed her eyes, and the fragmented scenes from her neural cloud appeared in her mind's eye. A pitch-black examination room, stark white lights, long blue hair, gray-colored eyes, dark golden parts, the sight of rusted metal, and the blood and tears mixed with them all. "Is this a sign from my destiny about committing my hidden past onto the artist's easel... Will doing this lead me astray, or is this the right choice?" Dushevnaya's hands only stopped moving after she finished painting. She curled up, clutching her searing hot neural cloud module, and muttered to herself. "What ARE these fragments... what else is there... what haven't I recalled yet?" "And most importantly—the one who truly has command authority over me... who are they???" Who exactly are they? Dushevnaya looked up, staring at the painting before her, longing to find the answer within her brushstrokes. The pigments were not fully dry yet and they glinted with a moist radiance. A cracked, rusted ID card was vaguely visible amidst the riot of colors. It bore the Griffin logo and seemed to belong to someone. "Commander..." Dushevnaya leaned in closer, no matter what she did, she could not make out the name on the card.脑海中太多的碎片混杂在一起，让杜莎妮的心智愈发混乱。 她并不总是在这种状态下进行创作，但这一次是例外，她第一次做如此清醒的“梦”，以至于她想快速地，将这些一闪而过的碎片记录在画布上。 人形社区简陋的房间中，杜莎妮找出同伴们帮她收集而来的颜料与画布。闭上眼睛，破碎的画面出现在她的心智中。 漆黑的检修室、白色的灯、蓝色的长发、灰色的眼睛、暗金色的零件和锈蚀的金属，还有混杂在其中的血和泪。 “这是命运要给我的警示吗……将被隐藏的过去揭示于画布之上……是歧路，还是正确的选择？” 画完这些，杜莎妮才停下笔。她蜷缩起身体，捂住发热的心智模块，喃喃自语。 “这些碎片究竟是什么……我到底……还有什么没有想起来？” “最重要的是——那个真正拥有我权限的人……到底是谁？” 到底是谁？ 杜莎妮抬起头，凝视着眼前这幅画，就像是渴望从中找到答案一样。上面的油彩还未干透，色彩中闪烁着润泽的光芒。 在那一切纷扰的颜色之上，隐约可以看到一个带着刻痕和锈蚀的证件，上面还带着格里芬的标志，它似乎属于某个人。 “指挥官……” 杜莎妮靠得更近了一些，却始终无法看清证件上的名字。

Record 6Shortly after Dushevnaya boarded the Elmo, certain idiosyncrasies of hers led to me paying close attention to her for a while. "Idio...syncrasies? Commander, what might you mean...?" She had a puzzled look on her face; clearly, she did not see anything unusual about her actions. "While I don't intend to interfere with your life, it seems you made quite a commotion in the lounge last night." "Ah... If I may so declare, as the moon fills the sky with its full splendor, the past and future are revealed unto the Slab of Truth." Dushevnaya put on a mysterious air, but when I looked hard at her, she glanced off to the side. "To sum it up, you ran into the lounge wall. In fact, the security camera footage indicates that you practically headbutted it." I sighed. "So, was the past and future you were hoping for revealed to you?" "The, uh, the truth has not yet been made known... But someday, the light of enlightenment will shine on every corner of this land. I'm certain of it!" It would seem that vigorous impact didn't manage to restore her neural cloud. After our reunion with Dushevnaya, Mayling and I performed extensive frame repairs and neural restoration procedures on her, but we didn't manage to recover her neural logs. It was clearly eating away at her, and she ended up trying various ways and means to get them back. Quite a few of them were rather, for the lack of a better word, "intense". "So, were you going to try the 'lightning strike' method again to get your memories back?" Thunderstorms were a rare occurrence in the contamination zones, but one was brewing above the Elmo. The sky was overcast, illuminated solely by the occasional flash of purple lightning. Dushevnaya was standing out in the open—had I arrived a moment later, she might have ended up becoming a lightning rod for the Elmo. "But if I were struck by the adamantine arrow of enlightenment..." Dushevnaya quietly muttered. "No, there's got to be another, more reliable way than this. Would you like to come indoors?" "Um..." While Dushevnaya cupped her chin in thought, I took the opportunity to whisk her inside. "Commander, what do you think of roleplaying? I've heard that when you reenact the past, everything will be restored to its original and proper place!" ...It would seem she was going to make me accompany her in live-action roleplay. "Let's go with that, then. In any case, I absolutely forbid you from doing anything this dangerous again."杜莎妮刚登上艾莫号时，曾因为一些独特的行为而被我特别关注了一段时间。 “独特的行为？指挥官，你指的是……？”她露出有些迷惑的神情，显然，她并不觉得自己的行为有什么问题。 “虽然我没有干涉你生活的打算，但是你昨晚似乎在休息区弄出了很大的声响。” “喔……那是因为，在满月的夜色下，过去与未来，将会揭示于全知全能的石板之上。” 杜莎妮摆出故作高深的表情，但当我凝视她时，她的目光滑向了一侧。 “简单来说，就是你在休息区撞到了墙……监控显示，你是笔直撞上去的。”我叹了口气。“所以，你想要的‘过去与未来’，揭示了吗？” “真相还、还未能显现……但终有一日，光芒将会照亮这片大陆的每一个角落，我是这样相信的！” 听起来，猛烈的撞击也没能让她成功恢复心智。 与杜莎妮重逢后，我和美玲对她进行了多次素体修理和心智模块恢复，但她仍未能恢复自己的心智记录。为此，她也十分苦恼，并尝试了各种各样的方法，其中有不少，都有些过于“激烈”了。 “所以，你今天又打算用被雷击中的方式，来恢复记忆？” 艾莫号外，一场污染区少见的雷暴正在酝酿，天空阴沉着，只有雷电的紫光会偶尔带来一些光亮。而杜莎妮正站在门口处，如果我再晚来一步，她恐怕已经站在艾莫号顶部充当避雷针了。 “可是，如果能被真理的雷电所击中……”杜莎妮轻声说。 “不，一定有别的，更加可靠的办法。先进来吧？” “唔……”杜莎妮沉默地托腮，我趁机把她捞回车内。 “指挥官，你觉得角色扮演怎么样？我听说，当过去之事重演之时，一切都将回归原本的位置！” ……看来，接下来她准备要我陪她角色扮演了。 “那就这么办吧。总之，你绝不能再尝试这些危险的方法了。”

Record 7Dushevnaya was coming to my room far too often recently. While hardworking Dolls like her were never in short supply on the Elmo, it was plain to see that Dushevnaya wasn't the sort who was passionate about housework or cooking. "So... what exactly are you up to?" Had her intrinsic nature as a nursing Doll awakened at last? Or was this just a clumsy attempt to buy my goodwill? At 7 a.m., I found myself waxing thoughtful over a serving of "Courage Roast" Dushevnaya had served me. She, on the other hand, was busy casting a "healing spell" on the meal in the form of a none-too-polished violin solo. "I, uh, I'm preparing a meal for an adventuring companion, of course." "Commander, would you like to hear about my adventures to go with your breakfast?" Right now, my gut was churning with enough suspicions to fill me up. "Commander, do you have any quests for me? I've been grinding out experience recently, so I should be able to help out with a lot more stuff!" Before I could say anything, Dushevnaya had already fired off another question. "Let's leave work aside for now... Instead, why don't you tell me why you've been so gung-ho recently?" "Er, um, well, you see, if I wanted to solidify our bond... it all goes back to actively trying to raise your affection points with me, right?" Her sudden change of tone made me sense that she was feeling a little nervous. Upon seeing a doubtful look on my face, Dushevnaya's face turned bright red as she continued speaking. "During my adventures... I've met countless companions, some of whom qualified as bosom buddies. While I've forgotten a lot... I-I'm sure that you are the only one who's special among them, s-so I want to—" "I want to... I want to forge an eternal bond with you, one that's different from my other companions!" While the delivery of those lines was quite forceful, I could clearly sense that Dushevnaya was very tense. Her true feelings were on display to me, and not even the most flowery turn of phrase could hide that. "Sure, I accept." I put my hand on Dushevnaya's head and gently ruffled her hair. "This shall be our... er... how should I phrase this... our oathbonding ceremony. Therefore, there is no need to worry about all those things that have been bothering you." "Ah... yes! I understand!" At last, Dushevnaya laughed merrily, grabbing my hand and nuzzling her cheek against my palm.杜莎妮最近往我房间跑得有些过于频繁了。 虽然艾莫号从来不缺这样勤劳的人形，但很明显，杜莎妮并不是热衷于内务和烹饪的那种类型。 “所以……你到底在干嘛？” 是她作为看护人形的意志终于觉醒了吗？ 又或者，这只是一种笨拙的讨好？ 清晨七点钟，我看着杜莎妮给我端上来的“勇气烤肉”反复思考着，而她则是毫不在意地为这份早餐施加了“疗愈魔法”——一场不算太成熟的小提琴演奏。 “当、当然是为我重要的冒险伙伴准备餐点了。” “指挥官，你会想听一些冒险故事吗？作为早餐的佐料。” 我现在只有满腹的疑惑，而这足以让我饱腹。 “指挥官，有什么任务可以让我执行吗？我最近做了强化训练，应该可以帮上更多忙了！”我还没说什么，杜莎妮就紧接着又丢出一个问题。 “工作的事先放一边……说吧，最近这么积极，究竟是什么原因。” “呃，嗯，就是，如果我想要加固我们之间的联系……果然还是要积极地提升好感度才对吧？”她突然切换了说话方式，让我察觉到了她似乎有些紧张。 看到我露出疑惑的表情，杜莎妮脸红着正色对我说。 “在我的冒险之旅中……我遇到过无数的伙伴，也有了称得上挚友的同伴。虽然我遗忘了很多……但、但是，我很清楚，唯有你是特殊的，所、所以我想要和你——” “和指挥官你……建立和其他伙伴不同的、永恒的羁绊！” 即便说出的话很有气势，我依旧可以清晰地感觉到，杜莎妮很紧张。而她的真心，即便是夸张的话语也无法掩盖了，就这样显露在了我的面前。 “好啊，我接受。”我将手放在杜莎妮的头上，抚摸着她的头发，“现在就是我们……呃，怎么说……结定契约的仪式，所以，你之前的那些担忧，通通都不再需要了。” “啊……是！我明白了！” 杜莎妮终于开心地笑了起来，她反过来抓住我的手，用脸颊轻柔地蹭了蹭我的手掌。

Record 8"Alright, next up is..." Dushevnaya rarely got embarrassed during character roleplay, but she paused for a moment, as though she was having trouble bringing herself to say what was coming next. "...Oh, hero mine, you have come to rescue me." I said, delivering my line and playing my part. "Indeed, I have come to rescue thee, my Princess!" Dushevnaya's eyes gleamed as she looked at me, and then went down on her knee. "No wait, since I'm a girl, would it be better to call you my prince instead?" "Er, I'm okay with anything. Just do what you like." In truth, I wasn't particularly bothered by that. Rather, what I wanted to know is why on earth do I have to play the role of the hapless hostage who gets kidnapped by the demon king? "Verily, I seek to repay thine courage, but our kingdom has long since fallen. Now, if thou art willing to embark with this humble soul upon..." What an excruciatingly long line... Dushevnaya looked eagerly at me, completely oblivious to the fact that I'd trailed off halfway. Instead, she sprang up and hugged me. "Yes, I will! This hero will always be worthy of thine faith!" For a moment, I could almost see a tail wagging happily behind her. "So please, Commander. Promise me you'll never abandon me." That quiet addition was not part of the script, but when I looked at her in confusion, there was no way I could say no to those expectant eyes of hers.“好……那么接下来就是……” 杜莎妮很少会在角色扮演中害羞，但这次，她却少见地停顿了一下，仿佛接下来要说的是什么难以启齿的话一样。 “……我的勇者啊，你来见我了。”我配合着她，说出了自己的台词。 “是！我来救您了！我的公主殿下！”杜莎妮的眼睛闪闪发光地看向我，在我的面前单膝跪地，“唔，还是说您更喜欢被叫做王子殿下？” “呃，这个就随你开心吧。” 不，老实说，我并不在乎这个，我只想知道，为什么我非要扮演被魔王抓走的那个不可？ “我很想答谢你的勇敢，但我们的王国早已毁灭了，现在，你愿意和我一起踏上……” 好长的台词…… 杜莎妮聚精会神地看着我，完全没有注意到我的台词卡在了半截，反而兴奋地窜了上来，一把将我抱了起来。 “是，我愿意！我会永远效忠于您。” 一瞬间，我仿佛看到了她身后摇晃的尾巴。 “所以请指挥官也答应我，不要抛弃我。” 她小声地补充了一句，这并不是台词，但当我疑惑地看向杜莎妮时，她那双充满期待的眼睛，让我无论如何都无法拒绝她的请求。
