JiangyuHm—Hah—Hyah!嘿——哈——嘿呀！

(Jiangyu's voice reaches my ears before I even enter the training room.)（在进入训练室之前，绛雨的声音就已经传进了我的耳朵。）

(She came upon a new manual recently and has been practicing for many days without heed for her personal well-being.)（不久之前，她得到了一本新的拳谱，已经废寝忘食地练习了许多天。）

(It was hardly strange to find her here.)（所以，在这里能找到她，并不奇怪。）

JiangyuCommander, you're here!长官，你来啦！

(At the sight of me, Jiangyu's serious expression turns into a brilliant smile.)（看到我后，一脸严肃的绛雨露出了一个灿烂的笑容。）

JiangyuCome here, look at this new move I've learned!快看快看，我新学的这招！

(Jiangyu leaps and spins several times in the air; it's hard to follow her movements with the naked eye. I only hear the howling wind and friction of clothing against itself.)（绛雨翻身跃起，在空中翻转了数下，肉眼几乎难以看清她的动作，只能听到呼啸的风声和衣物摩擦的声音。）

(However...)（只是——）

JiangyuEh... Whoa!诶……诶诶！

(She fails to find proper footing as she lands, tumbling even as she tries to balance herself with extended arms.)（落地时，绛雨的脚尖没能站稳，尽管她伸出手臂尽力平衡着身体，却还是摇摇晃晃地倒了下去。）

JiangyuOwie...痛痛痛……

Commander...So that's what you wanted to talk to me about?……所以，这就是你说的有事找我？

(I take two steps forward, crouching down and looking at Jiangyu on the floor.)（我上前两步，蹲下身子，看向摔倒在地的绛雨。）

JiangyuOf course not!当然不是！

JiangyuI... I just accidentally... I've never had trouble with this before!我……我只是不小心，这个动作……我之前做都不会有问题的！

CommanderAlright, I get it.好好，我知道了。

(I extend a hand, and I pat Jiangyu's hair like I usually do.)（我伸出手，像往常一样摸了摸绛雨的头发。）

CommanderEven the hardest maneuver is easy-peasy for you—再困难的动作，对你来说都是简简单单——

(I comfort Jiangyu, mimicking her usual cheerful tone, but she shakes her head and evades my hand.)（我学着绛雨平时的口气安慰她，却没想到她摇了摇头，躲过了我的手。）

JiangyuSeriously... You're speaking to me in that tone again and even patting me on the head.真是的……长官又用这种口气说话，还摸我的头。

JiangyuNever mind Sis, even you're doing it too, Commander!老姐这样也就算了，怎么长官也把我当小孩子哄！

(I've always been this way with Jiangyu, but she's been uncharacteristically dissatisfied with it recently.)（一直以来，我和绛雨都是这样的相处方式，而最近，她却反常地表现出了不满。）

Commander...I think you're having a second rebellious phase.……是你最近叛逆期二次爆发了吧。

(I think back to the past two months, her overwhelming desire to perform, and its results—)（我回想起最近两个月来，绛雨过于旺盛的表现欲，以及这份表现欲所带来的后果——）

CommanderThe last time your squad performed, you put in too much force and broke your drumsticks.上次季风乐队演出时，你格外卖力，把鼓棒都折断了。

CommanderThe broken part even hit Faye over the head, and you had a whole argument over it, didn't you?断裂的鼓棒还砸到了绯的头，你们不是还为此吵了一架吗？

JiangyuWell, I got too excited seeing you, Commander...我也是看到长官太兴奋了嘛……

CommanderWhat about that time when you were out on assignment and triggered that explosive by acting on impulse...那你在出任务时，一冲动触发了爆破装置是怎么回事……

JiangyuI just wanted to finish that mission quickly and have you praise me... Who could've known there was a trap there?我想尽快完成任务好被长官夸奖嘛……谁知道那里会有机关啊！

CommanderThen last time in the lou—那你上次在休息区……

(Before I can list off more of her various "crimes", Jiangyu hurriedly interrupts me.)（我还没来得及继续列举她的“罪状”，绛雨就急忙打断了我。）

JiangyuCome on, Commander, don't list them all like that. It's just cause I haven't had any chances to really perform...哎呀长官，别数落我啦，还不是因为最近都没什么表现的机会……

JiangyuWell, they say that if you don't have any opportunities, you have to make them!俗话说没有机会就创造机会，就是这个意思吧！

CommanderAnd how do you plan to do that today?那你今天打算怎么创造机会？

CommanderYou can't have called me here just to watch you fall over, right?喊我来，应该不只是让我来看你跌倒的吧？

JiangyuI have something very serious to tell you, Commander.当然，我有一件很严肃的事情要告诉长官。

(Jiangyu's countenance becomes exceptionally grave.)（绛雨摆出了一副格外认真的表情。）

JiangyuI… am going on a journey.我——要外出修行了。

Commander...?……？

JiangyuI might not be back for a veeery long time...虽然这次可能要出去很——久才能回来……

JiangyuBut I'm already a proper adult. It's time for me to walk the world by myself.但我已经是个成熟的大人了，是时候独自行走江湖了。

Commander...I see.……我明白了。

CommanderWhere are you going on holiday this time?这次又打算去哪里玩？

JiangyuIt's not a holiday! A spiritual journey!不是去玩！是修行！

JiangyuThe... the journey will allow my martial arts to take on a new life!我……我会通过这场遥远的修行，把自己的武艺再提高一个水准！

(Jiangyu presses forward and looks at me seriously. In stark contrast to her usual sunny disposition, there's an overwhelming presence in her eyes I've never seen before.)（绛雨向前一步，更加严肃地看向我，和往日的开朗不同，她的眼神中带上了一种从未见过的压迫感与不甘心。）

JiangyuYou don't treat me like a mature Doll at all, do you?长官根本就没有把我当成成熟的人形来看待吧？

JiangyuYou're definitely thinking that I'm just acting on impulse because I want to go have fun elsewhere. And maybe you're worrying about me, thinking about what will happen if I get into danger...一定觉得我只是一时兴起想要跑出去玩。说不定还在担心我，在外面遇到危险怎么办……

CommanderOf course I trust you.我当然相信你。

CommanderWhen was the last time I ever said no to you? You can go, just remember to stay in touch.而且，我什么时候拒绝过你的要求。去吧，要记得保持联络。

JiangyuOh... really?! Can I really?! I'll be gone for a really, really long time, you know?啊……真的吗？！真的可以吗？！我要出去很久很久哦？

CommanderYou can come back whenever you want.你可以在你想回来的时候回来。

JiangyuCommander!!长官——！！

(Jiangyu excitedly pulls me into a hug. Her somewhat untidy ponytail brushes past my neck, making my skin somewhat itchy.)（绛雨激动地冲上来抱住了我，她略显杂乱的马尾蹭着我的脖颈，令人有些发痒。）

(I try to push her away a little, but she only presses harder.)（我伸手想要将她推远一点，她却加重了手里的力道。）

JiangyuI promise, Commander.长官，我向你保证。

JiangyuWhen I come back, I'll make you admit yourself that I'm a proper grown-up!这次回来，我一定要让你刮目相看，让你亲口承认我是一个成熟的大人！

(Jiangyu stands on her tippy toes, touching my head just like I do with hers.)（说完，绛雨踮起脚尖，学着我的样子摸了摸我的头。）

CommanderJiangyu.绛雨。

(I grab her hand before she completely ruins my hair.)（在她将我的头发拨乱前，我伸手抓住了她的手。）

CommanderA real grown-up doesn't do childish stuff like that.成熟的大人可不会做这么孩子气的事情。

JiangyuS-seriously...怎、怎么了嘛……

JiangyuIt can't be that only you're allowed to touch my head, but not the other way around...总不能只许长官摸我的头，不许我摸长官的……

(Jiangyu's expression grows more and more exasperated as I hold onto her hand, like a misbehaving child chastised by their parents. I stop messing around with her, prying open her palm and placing her comms terminal within.)（见我一直没有放手，绛雨的表情越来越窘迫，像是个因为调皮而被父母训斥的孩子。我也不再和她开玩笑，直接摊开她的手心，将她的通讯终端放上去。）

*System Alert*Channel permissions verified.频道权限已通过验证。

CommanderI've unlocked some permissions for a special channel. You can use it to contact me in case of emergency. It has the highest priority.我帮你开通了专属频道的权限，紧急情况下，可以通过这个频道联络我，它拥有最高优先级。

JiangyuEh?诶？

(She looks at the terminal in her hand, sudden joy in her eyes and a dissatisfied pout on her mouth.)（绛雨看向手中的终端，惊喜的眼神和不满的撇嘴同时出现在她的脸上。）

JiangyuYou're still treating me like a little kid... You're just like Sis, always worrying about this and that.结果还是把我当小孩子嘛……长官怎么跟老姐一样，这么爱操心。

(She seems to suddenly think of something, and she excitedly stuffs the terminal into her pocket.)（她似乎想到了什么，又兴高采烈地将终端塞进了口袋里。）

JiangyuI'll keep you updated, Commander. Look forward to it, okay?我可是会一直给长官汇报我的行程哦。长官就好好期待吧！

(Yeah, sounds exactly like a holiday to me.)（听上去似乎更像是出门玩乐了。）

(I watch as Jiangyu takes her leave with a veritable spring in her step, almost hitting her head on the ceiling.)（我看着绛雨离开的背影，她蹦蹦跳跳地跑开了，甚至还险些撞到天花板上。）

Going Further 2 更进一步2

(Two days have passed.)（已经两天了。）

(I take a look at my comms terminal. Jiangyu, who often sends upwards of a dozen messages every day, has been oddly quiet in the past two days.)（我打开通讯终端，往日一天能发十条消息的绛雨，这两天却没了消息。）

JiangyuLook, Commander, I'm getting some practice in in the desert!长官快看，我正在沙漠里练习新招式！

(Attached is a photo of her in the desert.)（她还附上了她在沙漠中练习的照片。）

JiangyuI made some new friends! Wish you were here, Commander!我交到了新朋友哦！好想让长官也来看看呀！

(Attached is a photo of her with a Dinergate.)（发送这条消息时，绛雨配上了她和一只兵蚁的合影。）

JiangyuCommander, I found a new set of protective gloves! I'll buy a set for you and Sis, okay?长官，我今天逛街看到了一副新的防护手套！我给你和黛烟姐一人买一副好不好？

Jiangyu...No, wait, I'm getting a pair for myself too. I can't just have you two be wearing the same thing.……不行，给我自己也要买一副，不能只有你们两个戴一样的。

(...When I received that message, I no longer thought she was undergoing any type of training at all.)（……收到这条消息时，我已经完全不觉得她有在修行了。）

(...)（……）

(I scroll downwards and check Jiangyu's messages one by one. With her abundance of energy, it's thoroughly abnormal for her to not send a single message in two days.)（我继续向下滑动，检查着绛雨发送的消息，对于精力过剩的她来说，整整两天没有消息传来，实在是过于反常了。）

(Could something have happened to her?)（难道，她出了什么状况？）

(*Call forcibly connected)（*通讯强制接入成功）

(Suddenly, the notification sound of an incoming call arrives. Jiangyu's voice comes out from the other end.)（突然，一声通讯接入成功的提示音传来，绛雨的声音也随之出现在终端里。）

JiangyuCommander... I...长官……我……

(She sounds hesitant, as if unsure whether or not her decision to make this call was correct.)（她的声音听上去有些犹豫，似乎并不确定自己这次通讯是否正确。）

CommanderTurn on your positioning system. I'll be there soon.打开你的定位系统，我很快就到。

Jiangyu...I haven't even told you what's going on!……我还没说是什么事情呢！

CommanderI can't think of any reason you'd be so quiet for so long other than trouble.如果不是遇到麻烦，我想不出还有什么原因能让你安静这么久。

JiangyuI... Thanks, Commander...那，就拜托长官啦……

(The moment I end the call, Daiyan enters the ops room with anxiety all over her face...)（我切断通讯的那一刻，黛烟也一脸焦急地走进指挥室。）

DaiyanCommander, it's a distress call from Jiangyu...长官，是绛雨的求助消息……

CommanderGet ready. I'll come with you.准备出发吧，我和你一起去。

(I stand up, departing with Daiyan toward Jiangyu's coordinates.)（我站起身，和黛烟一同前往绛雨的位置。）

(We find Jiangyu sitting in the shadow of a great boulder, treating lacerations on her frame, with the bodies of ELIDs she took down all around her.)（找到绛雨时，她坐在一块巨大的岩石的阴影中，处理着自己素体的破损，四周遍布着被她所打倒的生骸。）

JiangyuCommander... Sis...长官……黛烟姐……

(She looks up at us, her damp eyes making her look quite pitiful.)（她抬起头看向我们，湿润的眼眶让她看上去有些可怜。）

DaiyanDon't worry, Jiangyu. We'll get you back to the Elmo safely.绛雨，别紧张，我和长官一定会把你安全带回艾莫号的。

DaiyanYou really are careless, though... In this kind of place...不过，你也太不小心了……怎么在这种地方……

(For once, Jiangyu does not offer any resistance to Daiyan's incoming exhortations. The sheer damage to her frame must have stripped her of the energy to quarrel.)（少见地，听到黛烟即将开始的说教，绛雨并没有表现出明显的抗拒，想必是素体损耗过大的原因，让她没有多余的精力像往常一样反抗。）

Commander...Jiangyu, how does your frame look?……绛雨，你现在素体情况如何？

JiangyuIt's not that bad... But power is down to 7%, I'm running at 26% capacity...素体损坏不算严重啦……但电量只剩下大约7%了，我现在正在以26%的功率在运行……

(Her tone remains upbeat, but she still subconsciously wraps her arms about her knees.)（虽然语气依然开朗，但绛雨还是不自觉地抱紧了自己的膝盖。）

(I sit by Jiangyu, pull out my toolbox, and begin maintenance on her frame. Daiyan takes the position next to me with nary a spoken word, assisting me with a practiced hand.)（我坐到绛雨的身边，打开工具箱，开始为绛雨的素体进行修复和维护，黛烟也默契地坐在我身旁，熟练地给我帮忙。）

CommanderIn any case, I'll do some temporary patching up. A precise look will have to wait until we get back to the Elmo.总之，我先帮你临时修复一下，详细的检查要等回到艾莫号之后再进行。

CommanderDaiyan, keep watch over the surroundings. See if there are any ELIDs still about.黛烟，警戒四周，注意观察生骸的接近。

DaiyanLeave it to me, Commander.交给我吧，长官。

(I sigh at the sight of Jiangyu's pitiful state.)（看着绛雨可怜的样子，我不自觉叹了口气。）

CommanderSo, why're you stuck here?所以，你到底是因为什么被困在这里的？

JiangyuI meant to stay here and meditate... and practice some new moves.我原本是打算在这里打坐……练习新招式的。

DaiyanJiangyu, how many times have I told you... Don't come to places like this by yourself. It's dangerous.绛雨，跟你说过多少次了……自己一个人的时候，不要总是到这种地方来，很危险的。

JiangyuI get it, Sis, but some things can only be learned in the most extreme places!我知道啦老姐，但是有的功夫，就是要在极限的环境中才能练成的！

DaiyanThat's what you said last time, Jiangyu. Last time we performed, you said that only the most extreme of performance methods can produce true music. Then, we had to send all of our instruments for repair...你又是这样的说辞。绛雨，上次的演奏，你说要用极限的演奏方式，才能创作出极限的音乐，害得乐队里的乐器都要送去维修……

DaiyanAnd it isn't just the instruments. When you're out in the field, you're always so impetuous, putting yourself on the line at a moment's impulse...只是乐器也就算了，执行任务的时候，你也总是这样冒失，头脑一热就以身犯险……

(Watching as Daiyan proceeds with no intent of relenting, Jiangyu shakes her head.)（看到黛烟没有丝毫停下的意思，绛雨摇了摇头。）

JiangyuLook, Sis, we're alright now, aren't we? You're both here already, so please just give me a break..哎呀黛烟姐，现在不是没事了嘛，你和长官都来了，就别唠叨我啦……

DaiyanYou—你——

CommanderTell me, what happened this time?说吧，这次到底遇到什么麻烦了？

JiangyuSo, while I was practicing here, I was attacked by ELIDs... and that was the end of my ammo and supplies.总之，我在这里练习的时候，遇到了生骸的袭击……耗尽了我的弹药和补给。

JiangyuI'm sure you saw on the way... There's not even a hint of civilization here, not a single soul for miles around. My power wasn't enough for me to get to the closest town, either.你们也看到了嘛……附近荒无人烟，连个人影都见不到，我的电量又不足以支撑我到达最近的城镇。

JiangyuIt's embarrassing, but I really had no ideas other than calling you two up...虽然有些丢脸，但我实在没有办法了，只能联络长官和黛烟姐了……

(I survey the surroundings. These ELIDs around her would be no problem for her normally.)（我看向周围，这些被绛雨所处理掉的生骸，对她来说绝不算是什么困难。）

CommanderThat can't be everything that led to this, right?你应该不只是因为这些，才这么狼狈的吧？

JiangyuHehe, I can't hide anything from you, Commander...嘿嘿，真是躲不过长官的眼睛呢……

JiangyuBefore I came here, I was doing some martial arts practice in a cave on a mountain roughly 80 kilometers away...我在来这里之前，还去大概八十公里外的山洞上打坐练习拳谱来着……

(Jiangyu smiles somewhat sheepishly.)（绛雨有些不好意思地笑了笑。）

DaiyanWhat?什么？

JiangyuAnd I had to run along a mountain road for eight hours for that...我为此还跑了八个小时的山路……

(...So she really was taking the whole thing seriously.)（……看来她是真的在修行。）

CommanderNo wonder you're low on power.难怪你电量会耗尽。

CommanderAlright, that should do it. You just need a bit of power now.好了，修复完成，接下来你只要好好充电就可以了。

(I tidy up my tools, patching a mobile power bank into Jiangyu's charging port.)（我把工具箱整理好，将移动电源接到了绛雨的充电口上。）

(Daiyan produces tea and snacks she had prepared earlier and passes them to me.)（黛烟见状，也将一早就准备好的茶水和点心递到了我的面前。）

CommanderI must say, I still have my doubts about the efficacy of this training for Dolls, though.但是对于人形来说，这样的修行到底能有多大的作用，我持怀疑态度。

JiangyuCommander, I've grown after my extreme training these few days, really...长官，经过这些天极限环境的磨炼，我真的已经有所成长啦……

JiangyuWith this new style I've been practicing, I'll be able to beat the snot out of any ELID even without ammo!我刚练的这套拳法，有了它，就算是没有弹药，也一样能把生骸打个落花流水！

(Jiangyu rises to her feet, balling one hand into a fist and extending a palm with the other, striking at the air with a series of fluid, impressive motions.)（说完，绛雨马上站起身，一手握拳，一手伸掌，打出了一套连贯而又漂亮的连招。）

DaiyanIf that were true, I would not be here with the Commander.如果真的这么有用的话，我和长官就不会在这里了。

DaiyanJiangyu, don't do anything like this again. If you hadn't managed to contact us before running out of power, you would have been shut down and stuck here all alone. If that happened...绛雨，下次可不要再做这种事情了，万一你在电量耗尽之前，没有联络到我们，还不知道要独自在这里休眠多久，一个不小心的话……

(Jiangyu clasps her hand over her ears.)（绛雨有些苦恼地捂住了耳朵。）

JiangyuNot everyone's like you, Sis... Always so prepared, with time to spare for tea...哎呀，又不是谁都能像老姐一样……做了这么充足的准备，还有闲心泡茶……

(Jiangyu comments as she looks at the cup of tea in my hand.)（绛雨一边说，一边看向我手中的茶杯。）

(Daiyan refills my cup, the liquid within giving off a gentle aroma. Within Jiangyu's eyes, a certain fiery something ferments.)（黛烟才刚为我倒满了茶水，杯中还散发着清雅的香气。但绛雨的目光中，却有一种无名的火药味扑面而来。）

JiangyuSis has been talking into my ear from the beginning of this...黛烟姐从刚才开始就一直在唠叨我……

JiangyuAnd you too, Commander, saying all of these half-hearted things—all wrapped up in your little world with Sis, not even bothering to look at me...长官也是，一直在敷衍我——只顾着和黛烟姐在那里卿卿我我的，根本看不到我……

JiangyuIt doesn't matter what I do, none of it will ever matter!我再怎么努力都是无用功！

DaiyanJiangyu! Get angry at me if you really must, but the Commander—绛雨！对我发脾气也就算了，不可以对长官——

JiangyuHmph, I'll just never be as mature, reliable, and gentle as Sis!哼，反正我就是不如黛烟姐成熟又稳重，可靠又温柔啦！

DaiyanJiangyu!绛雨！

(Jiangyu only seems to fully realize what she just said after being loudly admonished by Daiyan. An awkward expression soon takes the place of her fury.)（被黛烟大声训斥后，绛雨似乎才终于意识到自己说了什么，刚才还怒气十足的脸骤然出现了尴尬的表情。）

Jiangyu...Ah.……啊。

(Jiangyu looks towards Daiyan with some trepidation. The discomfort spreads further through the air as no one notices the growing chittering nearby.)（绛雨有些心虚地看向黛烟，空气中的尴尬还在持续蔓延，谁也没有注意到，四周窸窸窣窣的声音正在逐渐放大。）

CommanderEnough. Daiyan, Jiangyu, prepare for combat!好了。黛烟、绛雨，准备作战！

(In but a moment, many ELIDs had gathered around us.)（只一句话的时间，就有数只生骸围了上来。）

JiangyuGood timing... Watch carefully, Sis, Commander! I'm gonna show you how much I've grown!正好……黛烟姐，长官，你们要看好了哦！我这就让你们见识一下我的成长！

(Jiangyu leaps in front of me, takes a deep breath, and sinks into the opening posture of taichi. Her hands trace slow circles in the air—then suddenly, I hear the crisp sound of her cloud hands slicing through the stillness.)（绛雨率先跳到了我的身前，深吸了一口气，我清楚地听到了她的掌风撕裂空气的声音，她双手缓缓拨动，摆出了一个太极起手式。）

JiangyuHah!喝！

JiangyuStay behind me, Commander. I'll protect you!长官放心，站在我身后吧，我一定会保护好你的！

(Jiangyu springs forth with her right leg, bolting forward like a loosed arrow and leaving behind a warning that Daiyan couldn't get out in time.)（说完，绛雨的右脚猛地前踏，身形如箭般弹射而出，把黛烟那句没能及时喊出口的叮嘱也遥遥丢在了身后——）

DaiyanWait, Jiangyu, your battery—等等，绛雨，你的电量——！

Going Further 3 更进一步3

(Jiangyu sits off to the side in the refitting room, waiting.)（整备室中，绛雨正坐在一旁等待着。）

(The damage to her frame a few days ago was quite severe, and many parts need to be replaced. Mayling has scheduled a checkup for her today.)（几天前的素体损伤有些严重，更换了不少配件，美玲约好今天为她复查。）

CommanderHow's it looking?素体复查的情况如何了？

(Despite my best efforts to not startle her, she still leaps up from her chair at the sound of my voice.)（尽管我已经在尽量让自己不要惊吓到她，她却在听到我声音的那一刻，整个人从椅子上跳了起来。）

JiangyuC... Commander!长……长官！

CommanderI can't be that scary, can I?我也不是很吓人吧？

JiangyuI thought it would be Mayling seeing me today...我以为今天会是美玲来帮我复查……

CommanderThe Elmo's control room is having some trouble, and she's currently dealing with it. I'm her replacement.艾莫号的控制室有些问题，美玲去处理了，所以我来代班。

CommanderThough...不过……

(I look at Jiangyu's panicked mien, suddenly finding the whole affair rather funny.)（我看着绛雨慌张的样子，突然觉得有些好笑。）

CommanderWith how high that jump was, it seems the repairs have been pretty successful. Another look might not be necessary.不过，看你刚才跳得这么高，看来素体修复得很好，已经不需要复查了。

CommanderI'll be off then, since you probably don't want to see me.刚好你也不想看到我，我就先走了。

(I feign departure, turning around. Jiangyu immediately grabs onto a corner of my clothing.)（我转身作势要离开，绛雨马上便抓住了我的衣角。）

JiangyuWait, Commander!等等，长官！

JiangyuD-don't go just yet...先……先别走……

(A rare embarrassed expression appears on her face. I'm rather confident I can guess why, though.)（她少见地露出了害羞的表情，不过，我大概能猜到是因为什么。）

(...)（……）

DaiyanWait, Jiangyu, your battery—等等，绛雨，你的充电线——！

(Before Daiyan can finish, Jiangyu falls into forced shutdown mode with no power remaining. The reason for it is obvious enough, with all of the power she expended previously showing off her new moves. Her low reserves have been already stretched thin.)（黛烟的话音未落，绛雨就因为电量不足而陷入了强制休眠。想也知道，她刚才为了表演新招式消耗了太多的电量，使得原本就即将休眠的素体雪上加霜。）

CommanderDaiyan, deal with what's in front of you. Leave Jiangyu to me.黛烟，处理好你眼前的敌人，绛雨交给我。

(Before Jiangyu is torn apart in her comatose state, I raise my gun and fire at the enemies in front of her.)（在电量不足的绛雨被生骸撕裂前，我抬枪射中了她面前的敌人。）

(—And that's how I was wounded by an ELID we didn't have time to deal with.)（——也是这个原因，我被没能及时处理的生骸所伤。）

CommanderI know what you're trying to say, but if you're going to thank anyone, thank Daiyan.我知道你要说什么，但是要道谢的话，还是去感谢黛烟吧。

CommanderIt was her that dragged the wounded me and the shutdown you back...最后可是她独自拖着受伤的我和休眠的你回来……

Jiangyu...I wanted to do more than that.……不光是感谢。

JiangyuI wanted to... apologize for the past few days. Your wounds aren't healed yet, are they?我想为前几天的事情……向长官道歉，长官的伤还没好吧？

CommanderIf you were going to apologize, Daiyan could use more of that than me too.如果是道歉的话也是一样，黛烟比我更需要你的道歉。

JiangyuI know... Since I said all of that...我知道啦……毕竟我说了那样的话嘛……

JiangyuSis already forgave me, though... So it's just you left, Commander.不过，黛烟姐早就原谅我了……所以，现在只剩指挥官了。

(I look into Jiangyu's eyes. Her usual loud and proud self is all but gone, and all I see is a flustered child, thirsting for recognition and forgiveness. I cannot bear to chastise her any longer.)（我正视绛雨的眼睛，与往常那副活泼嚣张的模样不同，现在的她，就像个不知所措的孩子，渴望着认可与原谅，让我无法再对她进行苛责。）

(I didn't come here today looking to argue, anyway.)（毕竟，我今天也不是为了吵架而来的。）

JiangyuI already explained to Sis, Commander.长官，我已经和黛烟姐解释过了。

JiangyuI... I care about Sis more than anyone else. I really get her, and I depend on her too.我其实……比任何人都喜欢黛烟姐，我很理解她，也很依赖她。

JiangyuI went too far last time... but I just lost sight of things in the moment, really!上次，是我说得太过分了……但我真的只是一时冲动！

JiangyuI didn't want to harm Sis, and I don't want you to hate me either!我既不想伤害老姐，也不想被长官讨厌！

CommanderI know... So I'm not going to scold you. If Daiyan says it's alright, I have no reason to still be angry.我知道……所以我并不打算苛责你。既然黛烟说没关系，我没道理继续生气。

(Jiangyu sighs with relief, going back to her classic somewhat aggrieved expression, lightly smacking me on the arm.)（绛雨听到后松了一口气，然后一改老实又委屈的表情，轻捶了一下我的手臂。）

JiangyuOkay, then it's your turn, Commander! You're in the wrong too!那么接下来，轮到长官了，长官也有错！

CommanderOh?哦？

(I subconsciously raise my eyebrows. Her tone only continues to fill with indignation.)（听到她这么说，我不自觉地挑了挑眉，她的语气却愈发愤慨。）

JiangyuYou're always treating me like a little kid, Commander! Not only that, you work so well with Sis, like you're mentally linked!都怪长官总是把我当成小孩子！不仅如此，还和黛烟姐那么默契，配合得那么好！

JiangyuIt makes me a bit angry, like I've been gatekept from something...看得我心里很不舒服，总觉得自己被排除在外了……

JiangyuI want to be treated like a proper adult by you too, Commander!我也想被指挥官当成成熟的大人来对待啊！

(She gets more and more excited as she speaks, but no matter how you look at it, she's a far cry from what she wants to be.)（她越说越激动，但不管怎么看，都和她期望的样子相差甚远。）

(A proper adult wouldn't say these sorts of things.)（毕竟，成熟的大人可不会说这些话。）

(My curiosity is piqued, though. What is it that Jiangyu really wants?)（但这反而勾起了我的好奇心，绛雨真正渴望得到的，到底是什么？）

CommanderI think if you asked Daiyan, she would say your rebellious phase is already over.看来在黛烟眼里，你的叛逆期已经过去了。

CommanderBut to me, it looks like you're still in it.但对我来说，你的叛逆期似乎还在继续啊。

CommanderI still don't understand. Why are you so keen to grow up?我还是不明白，你为什么这么执着于长大？

JiangyuBecause...因为……

JiangyuAh... Because...呃……因为……

CommanderBecause?因为？

(The question seems to hit a sensitive spot for Jiangyu as a shade of red fills her face. She struggles to get a full sentence out, a stark contrast to her usual love of filling the room with chatter.)（这个问题就如同触碰到了绛雨的禁区一样，眼看着她的脸越涨越红，却始终没能说出一句完整的话，和她往日那副话多得说不完的样子完全不同。）

JiangyuBecause... if I don't grow up...因为……如果不长大的话……

CommanderIf you don't grow up?不长大的话？

(I get a little closer to her, trying to get a closer look at her embarrassed face.)（我又靠近了她一点，想要将她窘迫的表情看得更清楚些。）

JiangyuIf I don't grow up, I can't #%$%... okay?不长大的话就不能#%#￥%……￥啊！

(Before I'm able to get a good look, Jiangyu blurts out something incomprehensible. As if she's reached some sort of limit, she pushes me down onto the chair.)（我还没来得及看清她的表情，绛雨就爆发出了一声含混不清的话语，就像是终于无法忍耐了一样，她伸手将我推倒在了座椅上。）

CommanderJiangyu—绛雨——

(I reach out to support my body, staying upright with some effort.)（我伸手支撑住身体，勉强地倚在靠背上。）

(She pushes further, pressing down on me, almost sitting down across my body.)（她却变本加厉地按住了我，几乎跨坐在了我的上方。）

JiangyuAre you an idiot, Commander?!长官是笨蛋吗？！

(I look at her, speechless. When did it become her turn to say that?)（我看着绛雨，有些无奈。这话什么时候轮到她来说了？）

JiangyuI don't like you any less than Sis does, Commander...明明我喜欢长官的心情并不输给黛烟姐……

JiangyuNo, not just Sis. I've never liked you less than anyone does!不，不止是黛烟姐，我喜欢长官，从来都不输给任何一个人啊！

CommanderWhat are you say—你在说什……

JiangyuBut to you, Commander, no matter how much I try, how much effort I put in, I'll just always be the "little sister" or some kid that needs to be taken care of!但是对长官来说，不管我怎么努力，不管我怎么表现，我似乎都只是所谓的“妹妹”，或者一个需要被人照顾的小孩子！

(She interrupts me while remaining animated.)（她激动地打断了我的话。）

JiangyuYou don't understand why I want you to see how I've grown, Commander...长官根本不明白，我到底为什么想让长官看到我的成熟……

JiangyuCommander, if you're going to comfort me like I'm a little kid again, I-I'm going to—如果长官要是再把我当成小孩子来哄的话，我，我就要——

(Perhaps thinking that I was trying to get up, she squeezes down on me with her thighs.)（或许是察觉到我打算起身的意图，绛雨下意识用腿夹紧了我。）

(All I wanted to do was get a little closer to her to try and soothe her emotionally.)（但我只是想靠近她一些，以安抚她的情绪。）

CommanderYou're going to do what?你就要怎么样？

JiangyuEh?诶？

(My movement surprises Jiangyu a little and suddenly jolts her awake. Realizing the distance between us, she only gets more flustered as her face reddens.)（我的靠近让绛雨有些惊讶，她一瞬间清醒了不少，意识到我们两个现在的距离后，她显然比刚才要慌乱了许多，脸上也少见地浮现出了一团红晕。）

CommanderHave you not made up your mind?难道还没想好吗？

JiangyuI-I have, okay? I'll just... I'll prove what a proper elite Doll can do, r-right here and now!想好了！我我我就要像现在这样，让你知道成熟的精英人形的厉厉厉害！

(She gestures with her hand, forcing out her half-finished threat from earlier. I can't help but chuckle a little.)（她的手一边比划，一边强撑着把没能说完的威胁说完，让我忍不住笑出了声。）

JiangyuCommander!! You're making fun of me again, like I'm a...长官——！！你又这样嘲笑我，把我当成……

CommanderI'm not treating you like a child.我没有把你当成小孩子。

(I grab her hands as she struggles to find somewhere to place them.)（我抓住她无处安放的手。）

CommanderRather, I just thought you were pretty cute just then.倒不如说，我只是觉得你刚才的样子很可爱。

CommanderI wouldn't let you be like this if you weren't.不然的话，我也不会允许你像现在这样。

(Jiangyu finally realizes the situation she has put us in. Beet-red, she begins to get up.)（这句话让绛雨再次意识到现在的状况，她立刻脸红着想要起身。）

JiangyuS-sorry, I'll—我、我这就起来——

Commander...Tss.……嘶。

(As I suck in a mouthful of cold air, Jiangyu puts her weight back down, carefully questioning me.)（听到我倒吸一口凉气的声音，刚准备起身的绛雨再次坐了回来，小心翼翼地询问我。）

JiangyuEh? Does it hurt somewhere, Commander?诶？长官，是哪里痛吗？

CommanderIt's nothing, just a flesh wound.没事，小伤而已。

(I gesture at my shoulder—the wound I received protecting Jiangyu a few days ago.)（我伸手指了指自己的肩膀——那里正是前几天，为了保护绛雨所受的伤。）

(With the excessive movement just a moment ago, the previously treated wound is now leaking bright red blood.)（而现在，因为刚才幅度过大的动作，本已经被包扎完成的伤口，此刻正向外渗着殷红的血。）

JiangyuJust a flesh wound?! Commander—!这还是小伤吗？！长官——！！！

JiangyuI'm the Doll here! I'm supposed to be the one that gets hurt, not you... Seriously, Commander...明明我是人形啊！代替长官受伤才是我的使命……长官真是的……

JiangyuIt's all my fault, not protecting you... Commanderrrrr—!也都怪我，没有保护好你……长官啊啊啊——！

CommanderYou don't need to be so loud, I can hear you. Not like I'm dying...你不用叫得这么大声，我也能听到。而且我又不是死了……

JiangyuAh! The wound, it's still bleeding!啊！长官的伤口，流血不止了！！

JiangyuSomeone, come help!!有没有人来帮忙啊！！！

JiangyuSis!! Please, help!老姐！！！黛烟姐！！！！快来帮忙啊！！

(I try to ask her to not shake me so vigorously, but my vision grows blurry.)（我想提醒绛雨不要用这么大的力气摇晃我，但视线却逐渐模糊起来。）

(Before my eyes fully close, Jiangyu's concerned, panicked face grows closer and closer.)（在闭上眼睛之前，绛雨那张满是关心与焦急的脸，正在变得越来越近。）

Going Further 4 更进一步4

JiangyuCOMM—ANDER!长——官！

(The moment the ops room's door opens, Jiangyu sprints at me at maximum speed. Seeing no chance of escape, I open my arms, taking her far-too-passionate embrace head on.)（指挥室的门才刚打开，绛雨就以过快的速度向我奔来，眼看着无法逃离，我索性张开了双臂，结结实实地接住她那过于热情的拥抱。）

CommanderJiangyu.绛雨。

(She rubs her head up and down just below my neck, expressing care and intimacy her way without any concern for my comfort.)（绛雨的头在我的脖颈下方反复蹭着，以她的方式表达着自己的思念和亲昵，丝毫不顾我是否会不舒服。）

(In reality, I haven't spoken to Jiangyu for quite a few days. Jiangyu's been under Daiyan's strict watch because of the incident with my wound last time.)（事实上，绛雨确实好几天没能和我说上话了。因为上次伤口再次开裂，绛雨被黛烟严格管束着。）

JiangyuNot allowed to disrupt the Commander's work too much, not allowed to have "excessive contact", I was going to die of boredom!不能过度吵闹长官，也不能和长官“过度接触”，我真的快要无聊死了！

JiangyuGood thing all of that's done today! Commander, you're better now, right?还好，今天就解除限制啦！长官，你这次是痊愈了吧？

(She bounds and bounces in front of me as if her rebellious phase had ended, returning to her usual jovial self.)（绛雨兴高采烈地在我面前蹦蹦跳跳，仿佛叛逆期终于结束了一样，又恢复了往常的活泼开朗。）

CommanderWell, I'm more interested in whether or not you've gone on any more spiritual journeys.比起我的事，我更好奇你是不是又去修行了？

JiangyuHow could I have gone out to play around myself if you were still wounded? of course I haven't!长官的伤口还没完全痊愈，我怎么能自己出去玩嘛！当然没有啦！

JiangyuI'm not heading out for a while without you, either!而且，接下来的日子我也不会再出去了，除非长官陪我一起！

(Looks like she was indeed playing around last time.)（看来她之前修行真的是出去玩。）

CommanderI thought one of your journeys had done you some good, since you were looking a bit more carefree.我看你开朗了不少，还以为是什么修行的效果。

JiangyuYou still haven't forgotten about that, Commander... Sis gave me a talking-to, I won't be so rash again!咳，长官，你怎么还没忘记之前的事呀……黛烟姐已经教育过我啦，我不会再冲动行事了！

JiangyuAnd I don't want you to be hurt again, either... You're the most important person to me, Commander. I don't want my immaturity to hurt you.而且，我不想再让长官受伤了……长官是我最重要的人，我不想因为自己的不成熟而伤害到你。

CommanderSo that's what happened.原来是这样。

CommanderI was thinking you finally gave up those weird obsessions of yours because someone gave you the answer you were asking for.我还以为你是因为听到了什么满意的答案，才放下了莫名其妙的执念。

(Thinking back to what happened before, Jiangyu's face flushes again.)（回想起之前所发生的事情，绛雨再次脸红了起来。）

JiangyuI... I was happy with your answer before, too!当然……我对长官之前的回答也很满意!

CommanderI'm not sure if you still remember, but I don't mind saying it again—我不清楚你是否还记得，但我不介意再说一次——

CommanderWhether or not you're mature, no one will think any less of you or condemn you for it.无论你是否成熟，都没有人会因此而看轻你，也不会有人因此而责怪你。

CommanderI just don't want to see you forcing yourself. Do what makes you happy, Jiangyu.我只是不想看到你勉强自己的样子，绛雨只要做自己开心的事情就好。

(I pat Jiangyu on the head again. She does not resist this time, instead happily half-closing an eye.)（我伸手摸了摸绛雨的头，这一次，她没有抗拒，反而舒适地眯起了一只眼睛。）

CommanderWhat were you going to say that you couldn't last time?所以，你上次没能说出口的话，到底是什么？

JiangyuSo you remember, Commander.长官竟然还记得呀。

JiangyuIf I don't grow up, my relationship with you will never change. That's what I wanted to say.“不长大的话，和长官的关系就永远无法变化了。”我想说的是这个。

CommanderWhat kind of change did you want?你想要什么样的变化？

JiangyuJust... uh... the kind that adults would have!就是……呃……就是成熟的大人该有的……变化！

Jiangyu(After giving me that nebulous answer, she starts to get embarrassed all by herself.)（说了这句令人摸不着头脑的话后，她就自顾自地开始害羞了起来。）

JiangyuAt least, I want you to treat me like how you treat Sis, okay?至少，要像对待黛烟姐那样对待我吧？

CommanderYou mean...你是说……

JiangyuI know that I'm a Doll, and that some of my wishes will never become reality.我知道我是人形，有些愿望，或许是永远没办法实现的。

(Jiangyu looks somewhat despondent as she finishes that sentence, genuinely looking more mature for a moment.)（说这话的绛雨，看上去有些失落，竟然真的多了几分成熟感。）

JiangyuBut I'm not willing to just always be a little kid that doesn't understand anything, tagging along behind you.但我还是不甘心，永远只是作为一个什么都不懂的小孩子，跟在长官身后。

JiangyuI want to move ahead alongside you, Commander!我也想和长官更进一步啊！

JiangyuAnd if Sis is there too, I could be there for you with her, taking care of you...而且，如果是黛烟姐的话，我完全可以和老姐一起陪伴长官、照顾长官……

CommanderWould you say you're taking some steps forward?那现在算是更进一步了吗？

JiangyuI suppose! It's a small step forward, but I have a long way to go!算是吧！已经进了一小步了，但还有很多前进空间呢！

JiangyuYou just wait and see, Commander. I'll show you what I can do, hehe!长官就等着看吧，今后我会好好表现的，嘿嘿！

(Jiangyu does not hesitate to answer me, smiling confidently.)（绛雨毫不犹豫地回答，露出一个开朗的笑容。）

JiangyuI... want to be a more mature figure at your side, Commander.今后……我想以一个更加成熟的形象站在长官身边。

JiangyuEverything else aside, I have faith I'll be the Doll that likes you the most, Commander! I'll never lose to anyone else in that!别的不说，我有信心成为最喜欢长官的人形，绝不会输给任何人！

JiangyuAnd that will never change.只有这一点，永远都不会改变。

(Jiangyu jumps with happiness, wrapping her arms around my neck.)（绛雨开心地再次跳起来，抱住我的脖子。）

JiangyuAnd I know what you think about it now, too. So long as I can be with you, Commander, that's all I need!更何况，我现在清楚了长官的想法，我能够得到许可，一直陪伴在长官身边，这就是我最满足的事情了！

Covenant 铭契

JiangyuHooray, Commander! Is it finally the day?!太好了，长官！我终于等到这一天了吗？！

JiangyuYep, I promise to always listen from now on! Order me however you like!嗯嗯，我保证今后都乖乖听话！请尽情差遣我吧！

JiangyuFinally, I can be a proper adult by your side, Commander... Come with me, Commander. I'm gonna drop the news on everyone!终于，我也能作为一个成熟的大人，站在长官的身边了……长官，快跟我走，我要把这个消息告诉大家！

Ripened Fruit 完熟的果实

JiangyuCOMM—ANDER! It's me! I'm back!长——官——！是我，我回来啦！

(Judging by the situation, with her voice arriving before her person, Jiangyu has just returned from a recently finished assignment.)（从这个声音比人先出现的情况来看，是刚结束远途任务的绛雨返回艾莫号了。）

CommanderGo to the refitting room and get checked out first...你先去整备室进行检修……

(Before I can finish, Jiangyu latches onto my back with her hands around my neck, holding a strange object. It dangles in front of my chest and makes a jingling sound.)（我的话还没说完，绛雨就扑到了我的后背上，她双手环住我的脖子，手中不知道拎的什么东西，在我的胸前晃荡着，发出哗啦哗啦的声音。）

JiangyuGuess what souvenirs I brought for you, Commander!长官，猜猜我给你带了什么伴手礼？！

CommanderDid you go on a mission or a holiday?你到底是去执行任务还是去玩了啊？

(Jiangyu opens the box in her hand, revealing its diverse contents: a few trinkets in weird shapes and some rare articles of food.)（绛雨将手中的补给箱打开，里面塞满了各种杂七杂八的东西，有些是奇形怪状的摆件，还有一些比较少见的食物和饮品。）

(Judging from the damage on her, though, she probably beelined straight for the ops room instead of getting repaired.)（不过，从绛雨身上的破损情况来看，恐怕是还没去检修就径直跑来指挥室了。）

JiangyuPraise me more, Commander.长官，再多夸奖我一下嘛。

(She leans toward me with her head. Seeing as I do not raise my hand immediately, she grabs my hand and places it on her head.)（她主动把头伸了过来，见我没有抬手，又抓起了我的手放上去。）

CommanderAlright, alright—you're one of the best to ever do it, Jiangyu. Good job.好好——绛雨已经是可以以一敌百的精英人形了，任务完成得很好。

(I rub her head until she shows me a satisfied expression.)（我摸了摸绛雨的头，直到她露出心满意足的表情。）

JiangyuDo you think doing this is too childish of me, Commander?我这样撒娇，长官会觉得太过幼稚吗？

CommanderEvery bit of praise I give you is from the bottom of my heart.我刚才夸奖你的话，都是发自内心的。

JiangyuHehe, I knew you would get it, Commander.嘿嘿，我就知道，长官一定明白的。

JiangyuI figured it out a while ago... Doing a shoddy impression of an adult and being impulsive to try and prove it does not make me mature.我早就已经想通了……生硬地去模仿大人，甚至为了证明自己而冲动行事，并不能让我变得成熟。

JiangyuI don't know how long it would've taken me if it wasn't for you, Commander. I'm really lucky to be with you, Commander!如果不是长官的话，我都不知道还要多久才能想清楚这件事。所以，能够陪伴在长官身边，实在是太幸运了！

Jiangyu...Though I can't say I really know if I've improved at all. In any case, I'm going to be someone who can stand on my own, but I also want you to pamper me, Commander.虽然我也不清楚现在我有没有变得更好啦。总之，我既要成为独当一面的人形，也要继续对长官撒娇。

JiangyuAs a treat for my efforts, maybe you could come to my room tonight and hear me play? I'm going to get rusty after so long away from the drums!所以，作为对我成长的奖励，今晚要来我的房间听我演奏吗？好久没打鼓，我都有些手生了！

CommanderI'm no good at the drums. Daiyan will be a better companion for you.我不擅长打鼓，黛烟比我更适合陪你。

JiangyuI can ask Sis to come along if you want, Commander! We'll give you the best surprise you've ever had!如果长官想的话，我也可以邀请黛烟姐一起来演奏，保证让你眼前一亮！

JiangyuThat's settled then! You'd better give us your full attention, Commander!就这么说好了！长官，敬请期待！

(With the twinkling light in her eyes, I think I have no reason to refuse.)（看着绛雨闪闪发光的眼睛，我想，我没有拒绝的理由。）

Section 1 第一节

(Green zone, satellite city POL-05. A sunny morning with clear skies.)（绿区，POL-05卫星城，天气晴朗的上午。）

(A jeep marked with "G&K" lays parked by the roadside.)（街道上停着一辆吉普车，车上印着“G&K”的标志。）

QiongjiuWe'll be setting off.那，我们就先离开了。

Type 97Yeah, see you!嗯嗯，拜拜！

(Qiongjiu opens the cars, hesitating for a moment before entering the car.)（琼玖打开车门，犹豫了一下，却没有立刻上车。）

(She turns towards Type 97.)（她转向97式。）

QiongjiuHelian may have signed a cooperative agreement with you in regards to POL-05, but I do not think this is a prudent decision.虽然赫丽安已经与你签署了POL-05的委托协作合同，但我并不认为这是妥善的决定。

QiongjiuAs your former Leader, I must remind you of this. Griffin is yet to establish a fixed position in POL-05, and reinforcements will be late to arrive in the case of any danger.作为你的前队长，姑且提醒你一句，格里芬目前暂时还没有在POL-05设立固定据点，在任务中遇到危险，支援会来得比较迟。

QiongjiuA blade cares little who it is buried in. A friend at your side in the world is never amiss.刀剑无眼，行走江湖，还是找个朋友一起比较好。

Type 97Don't you worry, you know how good I am, don't you? Leader Qiong—uh, ex-Leader Qiongjiu!好啦你就放心吧，我的实力你还不了解吗？琼玖队——呃，琼玖前队长！

Type 97POL-05's usually well-policed, too. I can handle it by myself.POL-05治安向来不错，我一个人也能搞定的。

QiongjiuAlright, be careful.好，自己小心一点。

QiongjiuI will send your mission schedule to your terminal. Contact me if any problems appear.我会把任务日程发到你的终端，有问题随时联系。

Type 97Relax, there'll be a single issue! You know how long I've been at Griffin, I'm an ex-Griffin elite! I know my way around the procedures!没问题的，不会有任何问题！我在格里芬那么久了，是前·格里芬精英呀！流程上的事我懂的！

Type 97It's a little late, Qiongjiu, will you still make it to the next thing on your schedule? You'd better be off then, right?时候不早了，琼玖，你的下一项日程还来得及吗？赶紧出发吧，别耽搁了！

QiongjiuYes. The missions deferred to you in the future will be the same as always, make sure to be on time.嗯，之后转接给你的任务也一样，注意不要延期。

(After the jeep leaves visual range, Type 97 slumps into a sitting position as if all strength had left her body.)（确认吉普车驶出了视野范围，97式虚脱一般蹲坐在地。）

Type 97Phew—呼——

Type 97...S-she's finally gone, thank goodness I had eyes in the back of my head. If I hadn't put myself where I did, she would've found out...……终、终于走了，还好我够警觉，提前拦了一道，不然就露馅了……

Type 97I can't ever allow Qiongjiu to run into ol' Sis... if Sis found out I left Griffin long ago, she'd be talking my ear off for days on end.绝对，不能让琼玖和老姐碰上……要是让老姐知道我早就退出格里芬了，我一定会被唠叨好多天。

Type 97"97, I never thought you would lie to me... should we not be honest to each other, as Sisters?"“97，我没有想到你居然会骗我……姐妹之间，不是应该坦诚以待吗？”

Type 97"97, I'm just so disappointed in you—"“97，我对你太失望了——”

(97 imitates an exaggerated version of Daiyan. The terminal in her pocket begins to shake.)（97式夸张地模仿着她想象里的黛烟，突然，她口袋里的终端震了起来。）

Type 97Come on, this quickly?!妈呀，任务这就发过来了？！

Type 97Qiongjiu's just like how she was before. Always on point, flawless to a fault...现在的琼玖还真是，一分不差，严丝合缝……

(97 produces her terminal to find her schedule swiftly filling up with various assignments.)（97式从口袋中掏出移动终端，果然发现她的日程正在迅速被各种任务填满。）

Type 97Assist safekeeping department with patrols, check security equipment, protect merchants as they load cargo...协助治安部门巡逻、检查安全设施、护卫商人装载货物……

Type 97Griffin must be on the right track to get so many requests just as they got involved with POL-05's affairs.格里芬确实走上正轨了……才开始接触POL-05的业务就能拿到这么多委托。

Type 97Though it's all really petty and inconsequential in comparison to what I used to do with the Commander...虽然跟以前和长官一起做的那些任务比，都是些鸡毛蒜皮的小事……

(Type 97 swipes away at the screen nonchalantly, trying to parse her well and truly crammed schedule.)（97式随意地划着屏幕，试图看完被填得满满的日程表。）

Type 97...?………？

Type 97...…………………………

Type 97??????？？？？？？？？？

(She swipes faster and faster as sparks threaten to fly forth from the screen.)（她的动作越来越快，几乎快要把屏幕搓出火星子。）

Type 97No, but, this is just way too much—不是，这也太多了吧——

(After a strenuous process, Jiangyu finally manages to digest her next week's schedule.)（终于，97式勉强看完了最近一周的安排。）

Type 97Jeez, haven't seen a schedule as packed as this since I left Griffin...这么满的日程，自从离开格里芬之后就没再见到过了……

Type 97Do I still have time to practice with Sis? It was hard enough to persuade her to join that musical competition in the first place, and if it all comes crashign down because of me... I gotta think of a stage name for the competition too, Sis said that "Jiangyu" is still good, but... hm... I can't quite decide...我还有时间和老姐一起排练吗？好不容易说服老姐参加音乐比赛，可不能因为我泡汤了……参赛的名字我也得想一下，老姐推荐还叫“绛雨”，但是……嗯……有点犹豫啊……

(A notification sound rings, and Daiyan's avatar appears on the terminal's screen. Caught off guard as she stews in her thoughts, Type 97 almost throws her terminal away.)（铃声响起，终端的屏幕上弹出了黛烟的头像，被纷乱思绪包围的97式猝不及防，差点把终端扔出去。）

Type 97I-it's Sis?!是老、老姐？！

Type 97—Hello?——喂？

Daiyan97, has everything gone smoothly? Nothing unexpected has appeared?97，一切顺利吗？没出什么意外吧？

Type 97I was just saying hi to Qiongjiu, like anything was gonna go wrong!不过是和琼玖打声招呼，能出什么意外嘛老姐！

Type 97I've already seen her off.我已经把她们都送走了。

DaiyanOk, get back early then. I'll wait to practice with you.好吧，那你早点回来，我等你一起排练。

Type 97Ah Sis, today... I'll have to be a bit late today, could we push the practice back a little?唔，老姐，我可能今天……要晚些才能回去了，排练稍微推迟一点？

DaiyanWhat's going on?怎么了？

Type 97It's some work from Griffin, can't tell you the details.格里芬的任务啦，要保密的。

Type 97You know how Qiongjiu is, her and her full schedule. She was never going to just let me go free.你也知道嘛，琼玖每次出现，一定会带着周密的日程表，她自然不会放过我。

Type 97Because... well, more work for the able! Griffin still needs elite Dolls like me to do their work!毕竟……能者多劳嘛！格里芬的业务还是得靠我这名精英人形啦！

(A hint of mirth enters Daiyan's voice.)（黛烟的声音带上了一丝笑意。）

DaiyanYeah, my sister is ever-so-reliable. Are you sure you can handle all of that work yourself? If you need help with it, you can come tell me, alright?嗯，我的妹妹非常可靠呢，不过，一个人做那么多工作会不会太辛苦了？如果需要帮忙的话，可以和我说哦？

Type 97Hehe, I know you're always worried about me, Sis. You go prepare for the music competition though, I'll figure out something with the work I have.嘿嘿，就知道老姐你最疼我了。不过，老姐还是先专心准备音乐比赛，任务这边我会想办法搞定的。

DaiyanHmm... alright then. Don't push yourself too hard, 97. Take care on the way back.嗯……好吧，那97，别太勉强自己，还有，回来路上小心。

Type 97Yeah yeah, I know, Sis! I'm not a kid anymore!知道啦老姐，我不是小孩子了！

(97 ends the call, loosening up and sighing lengthily.)（97式挂断了通讯，放松下来，长叹了一声。）

Type 97(Sigh)... just what was I thinking? Would've been better to just tell Sis that I left Griffin, why'd I say all of that stuff about how I've got an assignment at POL-05? Now I'm stuck in this cycle of lies!唉……我到底是怎么想的，不跟老姐直接说我退出了格里芬，甚至还扯出了只是来POL-05出任务这种话啊！现在只能不停地圆谎！

Type 97Thank goodness I found Qiongjiu and the others, and stopped them from seeing Sis. She'd expose things about me that've never seen the light of day before...还好我提前发现了琼玖她们，拦住了她和老姐的会面，不然琼玖一定会不留情面地揭穿我的……

(97 takes another look at her terminal to find that in a few brief moments, several more of hers days were now full of assignments.)（97式又看了一眼终端屏幕，发现就一会的功夫，她再次被安排了几天日程。）

Type 97All ten next days are filled already? Does everyone in the Frostfall Squad work this much, Leader Qiongjiu?!怎么十天内的行程都排上了啊，你们霜降小队的工作强度这么大吗，琼玖队长！

Type 97...To speak of it, I never imagined that things would go as smoothly as they have. Qiongjiu started all "everything's off-limit", but she sent through the contract in only a day... maybe Helian convinced her?……说起来，我都没想到能这么顺利，琼玖那家伙一开始说着一切免谈，结果过了一天就把合同发过来了……难道是赫丽安劝了她？

Type 97And I prepared a bunch of reasons overnight as well. They all went to waste.亏我还连夜准备了一大堆理由，完全没用到嘛。

(Finally perking up a little, Type 97 stands up and gives her face a pat—)（终于打起点精神的97式站起身，拍了拍自己的脸颊——）

Type 97But I'm here already, and there's nothing to do but get to it! Even—even if there's so many things to get through, I can manage them if I tackle them one by one!事已至此，也只能拼命干了！就算有这——么多事情，也还是能一件一件一件一件做完的！

Type 97I'll show Qiongjiu and Helian just how powerful the Type 97 of today is!这回一定要让琼玖和赫丽安看看，现在的97式有多么强大！

Section 2 第二节

(A few days later—)（几日后——）

(At nighttime, Type 97 frantically walks down a somewhat dark residential area's streets.（夜晚，略显阴暗的住宅区街道上，97式一个人急匆匆地走着。霓虹灯下，她的影子投在地上，似乎也带着一丝焦虑。）

Type 97It's already this late?!转眼的功夫怎么就这么晚了！

Type 97This should have been done with three hours ago. It's all that weird guy's fault, not going home after getting off work, poking around the place for no reason!本来应该三小时前就结束的，都怪那个莫名其妙的人，下班不回家，在会场周围探头探脑地看什么嘛！

Type 97I got nothing out of him after all that questioning, and now I have to report to the guy in charge...抓到了也什么都没问出来，还要另外跟负责人报备……

Type 97What do I do? I said that I would go and practice after I was done with work, and I bought the triangle too!怎么办啊，说好要在工作结束后一起排练的，我三角铁都买好了！

(An aggrieved expression appears on Type 97's face.)（97式的脸上浮现委屈的神色。）

Type 97I've left Sis out to dry several times just these past few days, how am I going to go to the competition with her? I hope she won't be mad...这才几天啊，就鸽了老姐这么多次，这样下去还怎么陪老姐参赛嘛！老姐会不会生气啊……

Type 97Ahhhhh—I didn't want to come here just to work!啊啊啊——我来这里不是想来做任务的啊！

Type 97Damn it! Damn all of this work! Damn that guy snooping around! Damn me for not just telling the truth!可恶！可恶的任务！可恶的鬼鬼祟祟的家伙！可恶的不说实话的我！

(Type 97's footsteps do not stop, even as she loudly complains. She finds herself at the entrance to the block in which her rental is located, and sees that her room's light is unexpectedly still on.)（嘴上抱怨着，97式却并未停下脚步。此时，她已经气噗噗地到达了租住公寓的楼下，意外发现自己房间的灯光还亮着。）

Type 97Eh? Why's that light still on? Could Sis be... waiting for me?! Ah,I—I'll be right there!欸？灯怎么还亮着？难道老姐……在等我吗？！ 老姐——我、我这就上去！

(Wiping away her tired demeanor, Type 97 dashes up the stairs in just a few steps, opening the door with a clank.)（97式一扫疲态，三步并作两步地跑上楼，“哐当”打开房门。）

Type 97Big Sis Daiyan! I'm ba—huh?黛烟姐！我回来了——哇——？

(Type 97 lunges at the figure sitting at the table with their back to the door, but her target deftly evades her.)（97式向背对着门口坐在桌前的背影扑过去，那人影却灵活地闪开了。）

Type 97Hey, why'd you get out of the way instead of catching me... eh? W-why are you here? In my house?为什么不接住我还闪开啊……欸？怎、怎么是你？你怎么在我家？

ZhaohuiDo excuse me. Apologies, I did not know that such entrance ceremonies were necessary here.打扰了。 抱歉，我之前不知道你们有这样的进门仪式。

Type 97What entrance ceremony—don't just go and change the topic! Why are you here, in my home?什么进门仪式——不要岔开话题！你到底为什么会出现在我家里啊？

Daiyan97, don't yell at our guest.97，不要对客人这么大声。

(Daiyan emerges from a room, a box full of various small instruments in her hands. Type 97 immediately spots the triangle she just purchased.)（黛烟从房间中走出，怀里抱着装满小乐器的箱子，97式一眼就看到了自己刚买的三角铁。）

Type 97Guest? Who wants to be the host with her here? Why are you bringing out all of my instruments, anyway?客人？谁要招待她啦！ 还有老姐，你把我的乐器拿出来干嘛？

DaiyanClose the door first. We have time to discuss.你先把门关好，我们慢慢说。

(Type 97 closes the door properly, picking a seat as close to Daiyan as she could, far away from Zhaohui.)（97式老实地将门锁上，回到房间里，专门挑了个靠近黛烟远离朝晖的椅子坐下。）

Type 97Sis, what's going on here? I should make it clear that I don't intend to be friends with this lady here.老姐，现在这是什么情况？ 先说好哦，我可没有准备跟这家伙做朋友。

DaiyanAlright, I ran into Miss Zhaohui here earlier today. You left in such a hurry for your work that you didn't pack away any of these instruments. Miss Zhaohui just happened to see them.好啦，其实我和朝晖小姐是今早碰到的。 你执行任务离开的时候匆匆忙忙的，这些小乐器都没来及收拾，恰好被朝晖小姐看到了。

Type 97Eh? Then our secret technique's going to get leaked! You over there, Zhaohui, don't you tell anyone else! If any of our competitors learn of it, there'll be trouble.诶？那我们的秘技不是就暴露了吗！ 那个叫朝晖的，你一定不要说出去哦！万一让其他竞争对手学到，可就糟糕了。

ZhaohuiI will keep your secret. The most surprising musical act is a fine accolade indeed. Do keep these secret techniques of yours hidden well.我会保密。最佳惊奇音乐奖实属难得，你可一定要把这独门绝技藏好。

Type 97The most... surprising musical act... look, Sis, she's making fun of us! She's doing the shrugging thing, too!最佳……惊奇音乐奖……老姐，她在嘲讽我们！你看，她、她还耸肩！

DaiyanThat's not what Miss Zhaohui means.朝晖小姐不是这个意思。

ZhaohuiI'm segwaying into a possibly stinging matter by imitating humor segments from movies. How did I do?我在模仿电影里的搞笑片段来引入尖锐话题，感觉怎么样？

Type 97No normal Doll does segways like that! Just say what you have to say and get outta here. I haven't practiced with Sis here yet.谁家正常人形会这样引入呀，你有话直说，说完赶紧走，我和老姐还没排练呢。

(Chaodui thinks for a moment.)（朝晖沉思片刻。）

ZhaohuiI will speak plainly, then. I watched a recording of your practice. The combination of instruments is nonsensical, and you are knocking away clueless at your instrument. Additionally, practicing at night disturbs the peace, and I would recommend stopping.那我就直说了，你们的排练视频我看了，乐器搭配得毫无章法，并且，你在乱敲。 另外，晚上排练扰民，建议放弃。

Type 97Stinging indeed...确实好尖锐……

Type 97N-no way, don't talk if you have no idea how things work, I'm not clueless at all! I followed big Sis's rhythm! A-and, I just picked up this instrument... I-I'm not that practiced with it. I prepared other instruments too, if that one won't do, I can switch.不，不对，你不懂就不要瞎说，我才没有乱敲！我有好好跟着黛烟姐的节奏！ 再说了……我才刚学这个乐器，还、还不太熟练。而且，我还有准备其他乐器，这个不行还可以换呢。

ZhaohuiCymbals are no good either. Disastrous.铜锣也不行，灾难。

Type 97So you waited for me to get back to ridiculous me? That doesn't solve the problem at all!所以你就是等我回来疯狂挑刺的吗？这又不解决问题！

DaiyanDon't jump to conclusions, 97. Miss Zhaohui suggested something to be earlier today, and she waited all this time for you to discuss it together. Shall we hear her out first?97，别着急，白天的时候，朝晖小姐已经提出了建议的，她待到这么晚也是想等你回来一起商量。就先听听她怎么说吧？

Type 97...Ok, if you say so, Sis. Tell me then, what instrument should I use?……好吧，看在老姐你的面子上哦？ 那你说，我该用什么乐器配合？

ZhaohuiJudging from your recordings, your accompaniment is not an asset, but a detriment.从你们的录像中可以看出，目前你的伴奏算不上是助力，而是添乱。

ZhaohuiIt is fine to go for something new. If there is sufficient time, the desired effect can be achieved. The day of the preliminaries approaches, though, and you are not familiar with these instruments... And by what Daiyan has said, you've been quite busy.求新没什么问题，如果准备时间充裕，确实可以达到效果。但海选日期已经临近，你又不熟悉准备的这几样乐器……而且，听黛烟的意思，你最近很忙。

Type 97Ah, it's just these few days, soon...唔、就忙这几天而已……很快就……

(Realizing the bleakness of her position, Type 97 quickly deflates.)（认识到自己理亏的97式气势弱了下去。）

ZhaohuiEven a Doll cannot become proficient in new instruments so quickly. My advice would be to play to your strengths, and circumvent your weaknesses—97, Daiyan tells me you are well-versed in the martial arts?就算是人形，也不可能很快就掌握一种新的乐器。 我的建议是，扬长避短——97，黛烟告诉我，你擅长武术？

Type 97Yeah, I used to be a martial arts actor.是啊，以前做过武打演员。

ZhaohuiIt's time for you to take up the old mantle, then.那你现在该重拾旧业了。

Type 97Huh? I'm already so busy working for Griffin, I can hardly take up a third job. Besides, what does this have to do with the competition?啊？我给格里芬打工已经很忙了，做不起第三份工了呀。 而且，这和比赛有什么关系嘛。

ZhaohuiMartial arts performances accompanied by a zither has existing blueprints you can reference from, but such performances are rarely seen in musical competitions.武术表演和古筝曲，这个搭配有可参考的蓝本，但这个形式在音乐比赛中却并不多见。

Type 97Martial arts? I-is that really ok? Won't I just steal all of the spotlight then?武术表演？这、这能行吗？我会不会把老姐的风头都抢了？

ZhaohuiIt's not just doing your own thing, you must choreograph to the music and create a series of moves that fit well. You might also need some stage props, though that can be left to a professional craftsman.不只是完整地打一套拳，需要配合乐曲，设计合适的舞台动作，可能还要制作一些舞台道具，这个可以委托给职业工匠。

ZhaohuiFor you, however, enhancing the performance via martial arts is decidedly a better use of your time than learning an instrument. I enquired the organizers today with Daiyan, and no rules of the competition would be disobeyed.但利用武术增强比赛效果，对于你来说，总好过现学乐器。我和黛烟今天也咨询过了主办方，这不会违背比赛要求。

Type 97...…………

(Type 97 bites down tightly on her lower lip, trying to stare a hole through Zhaohui.)（97式紧咬嘴唇，似乎想在朝晖身上盯出个洞来。）

Type 97Dammit—the Commander never taught me what to do when someone you don't like one bit is making a lot of sense! Big Sis, we gotta add an entry to the Emergency Handbook for that!可恶啊——长官没有教过我，当讨厌的家伙说话超有道理的时候该怎么办！ 老姐，之后在《应急手册》里加上这一条哦！

DaiyanSo you agree, then?好，看来你是同意了？

Type 97Well, what to do... I am a mature Doll!那能怎么办呢……我可是成熟的人形！

DaiyanMy little sister's all grown up~Now if you could put aside your previous misgivings and thank someone who's just helped you, you would be very mature indeed.我的妹妹长大了~如果再可以不计前嫌地和帮助自己的人说声谢谢，就是最成熟的人形了。

Type 97Don't tease me like a kid, big Sis... But... I really owe you one, Zhaohui.黛烟姐不要用这种逗小孩的方式嘛…… 但……确实谢谢你了，朝晖。

ZhaohuiI'll put together some files and hand them to you tomorrow.我会整理一些资料，明天给你们。

Type 97Huh? You'll be back tomorrow?啊？你明天还要来？

ZhaohuiNine to five, exactly on time, extra pay for extra work. That's how I approach work.朝九晚五，按时出勤，加班收费，这是我的工作态度。

Type 97Work?工作？

DaiyanI've actually reached an agreement with Zhaohui. If you were happy with this plan, 97, we will hire Zhaohui as our short-term guide. She's very good at appraising things, and is better than me at putting together practical plans.其实，我和朝晖商量好了，只要97接受这个方案，就会雇佣朝晖作为我们的短期指导，她的眼光很好，也比我更擅长制定可行的计划。

Type 97Eh? Will I have to see her every day, then?欸？那不是、每天都要看见这家伙？

ZhaohuiI take one day off in every three, which is at least two iterations ahead of current popular working schedules.我上二休一，比当前流行的工作制度先进至少两个版本。

Type 97...You trying to ease the atmosphere?……你这又是在缓和气氛吗？

ZhaohuiI'm simply stating the facts. That had an easing effect? I shall remember that, thank you for the feedback.这是实话。有缓和效果吗？我记下来了，谢谢反馈。

Type 97...……

DaiyanThis plan certainly seems practical, but... 97, can you really handle it with how busy you've been?不过，虽然这个方案可行性较高，但是……97，你最近这么忙，能吃得消吗？

Type 97O-of course I can! Don't underestimate me, Sis, I can handle this little bit of work in, uh, just a moment!我、我可以，当然可以！你可别小瞧我啊老姐，这点工作量，我立刻、马上、一秒钟就能搞定！

Type 97Uh—we'll start practicing tomorrow, Zhaohui! You better live up to the money we're paying you!那个——朝晖，明天我们就开始排练！你可要对得起我和老姐支付的佣金哦！

DaiyanWe'll be in your care, Zhaohui.那就拜托你了，朝晖。

ZhaohuiMm.嗯。

Section 3 第三节

(Type 97 sinks into a dinky family diner's sofa on a somewhat barren afternoon street.)（下午时分，略显冷清的街道上，97式瘫坐在一家简陋的家庭式餐厅的沙发椅上。）

Type 97Escort target towards position three on the right side of the stage... no... no.1 is doing their cycle on the transport... Ahhhhh...护送目标前往舞台右侧第3个位点……不对……是1号动作循环在运输车上…… 啊啊啊啊……

(Thump!)（咚！）

(Type 97 slams her head into the table, her twintails flopping dejectedly like two stalks of wilted grass.)（97式的额头重重磕在桌面上，双马尾像两把枯草一般垂头丧气。）

Type 97I can't even begin to make sense of this... first the schedule Qiongjiu gave me, then the sessions Zhaohui has lined up.逻辑串联完全乱掉了……先是琼玖的日程表，后是朝晖的课表。

Type 97Oh wise and prescient ex-Leader Qiongjiu, you only warned me that the world and men alike are treacherous... but not that the world is filled with tedium, and time is always lacking!我未卜先知的琼玖前队长，你只告诉我江湖凶险，刀剑无眼……怎么不提醒我事务繁冗，分身乏术啊！

Type 97But... you're right, I'm not that stubborn, you're right, Leader!不过……这次我学乖了，你说得对！

(Type 97 straightens up, producing her terminal and pulling up a Doll-for-hire platform.)（97式直起身子，摸出终端，将人形雇佣平台的页面调了出来。）

Type 97One does indeed need friends at their side when walking the world. Even if I did hire them with money...行走江湖，确实需要些仗义朋友，虽然这朋友是我花钱雇的就是了……

Type 97Username 00233_zhao, wonder what kinda person they are... They speak a bit weird, but they're experienced and accepted the order quickly.用户名，00233_zhao，不知道对方是个什么样的人形呢……说话有点奇怪，但是好在经验丰富，接单麻利。

Type 97It might have cost a pretty penny, but this is an assignment from Griffin, after all. Of course I need a proper T-Doll to handle it.价格虽然贵了一点点，不过毕竟是格里芬的任务，肯定是要找正经的战术人形来做的。

Type 97Thank goodness I managed to wrangle some of the pay from Qiongjiu... Hm, while I was away from Griffin, Qiongjiu seems to have become a lot easier to talk to...还好跟琼玖预支到了部分报酬……嗯，我不在格里芬的这段时间，琼玖也变得好说话了一些嘛……

Type 97Or could this be some special treatment for me? Hm, if anyone deserves it, it's me. With my efficiency in mission completion, I'm far above Griffin's monthly average.还是说，这是给我的特别优待？唔，也确实要给我嘛，最近我这个任务完成率，都超过格里芬的月度均值了。

(Type 97 slumps onto the table tiredly again.)（疲惫的97式再次趴到桌面上。）

Type 97...Once I'm done discussing things with this Miss 00233, I can spare some more time to practice with big Sis.……等跟这位00233小姐谈好，我就可以空出更多的时间来和黛烟姐排练了。

Type 97(Sigh)With every person that knows my secrets, things get more dangerous... And now there's a Zhaohui snooping around, making everything I do more risky.唉，只是多一个人知道我的秘密，就多一分危险……现在还出来个神出鬼没的朝晖，暴露的风险就更大了。

Type 97Miss 00233, please don't disappoint me...00233小姐，你可千万别让我失望呀……

??That depends on what you want me to do.那要看你希望我做什么。

(A familiar voice rings out by her side, and Type 97 suddenly bounces upright.)（熟悉的声音在耳畔响起，97式猛地弹起来。）

Type 97Z-Zhaohui...? What a coincidence, w-what are you here for?朝、朝晖……？好巧啊，你、你怎么在这？

(Zhaohui places a terminal in front of Type 97, 00233_zhao's profile page upon it for her to see.)（朝晖将终端推到97式面前，00233_zhao的用户界面，赫然在目。）

(Type 97's fleshy cheeks gradually grow bright red. After a few seconds of silence, she cries out, overwhelmed and aggrieved.)（97式肉肉的脸颊，逐渐涨得通红。几秒的安静之后，她委屈又难堪地哭出了声。）

Type 97...No, but... but you said you took one day off in every three, but that one day... you're not resting at all!……呜……怎、怎么你说好了上二休一，结果这一……也不休息啊——！

(No longer feeling like resisting, Type 97 spills the tea to Zhaohui. The lies she told, her need to maintain the lie by intercepting Qiongjiu, her acceptance of most of Griffin's requests in POL-05 via subcontracting, everything.)（失去了反抗情绪的97式，破罐破摔地将自己和黛烟撒谎，后续为了圆谎，阻止琼玖与黛烟见面，并且以委托转包的方式，承接下了格里芬在POL-05大量委托的事情，全盘告知了朝晖。）

ZhaohuiNo wonder the requests have been few and far between recently, you took all of them.难怪最近委托变少了，原来是都被你做完了。

Type 97I told you everything... and that's the only thing on your mind?我说了半天……你就关注这个？

ZhaohuiNot quite. I do think you deserve all of this.也不是，还有你自作自受。

Type 97Agh... I know, ok? But when I see my sister look at me in that expectant yet worried way... I can't help but brag a little.呜……我知道嘛！但当时看到老姐期待又有点担忧的眼神……就不由自主地吹牛了。

ZhaohuiIt's not too late to tell her now.你现在和她交待也不晚。

Type 97I've thought about that, really! But... I've already taken on so many requests, and with how she is, she'd put the competition aside to help me out. That'd make me a kid who needs someone to clean up behind them again...我也想过的！但是……我现在接了这么多委托，以老姐的性格，她要是知道了，肯定会放下比赛来帮我完成，那我不又成了需要她来擦屁股的小孩了……

Type 97You gotta help me out, Zhaohui. Look, you need money, I have money. You want to take requests, I've got 'em. Two birds with one stone!朝晖，你帮帮我，反正你看，你缺钱，我有钱，你要接委托，我正好有委托，一举两得呀！

ZhaohuiYou want to continue keeping her in the dark?你准备就一直瞒着黛烟？

Type 97No, when the competition's over, I'll look for a chance to tell her. Before that, could you help me keep it on the down low?不会，等比赛结束，我肯定要找个机会告诉老姐的。在此之前，你帮我保密，好不好？

ZhaohuiSure, I will. But for a different price.可以，但那是另外的价格。

Type 97...You're funny, aren't you. Alright, I'll take you up on that.……你这会倒是挺幽默的。 好嘛，我答应你就是了。

ZhaohuiDeal.成交。

(In the apartment rented out by Daiyan and Type 97, the trio practice.)（在黛烟与97式租住的公寓内，三人正在进行着排练。）

ZhaohuiYou two more or less complement each other in terms of music and choreography, though the visuals could still be improved.目前你们两人的乐声和动作已经基本契合，视觉方面还有待优化。

Zhaohui97, the sleeves on this outfit are a bit long. Send them to the tailors later. Daiyan, add three more drapes to the background.97，这件演出服袖子有些长，晚点交给裁缝再处理一下。 黛烟，布景上，还需要再加三条垂幔。

Type 97I'll go do that in a second. Should I mention the drapes to the textile guys too, Sis?那我一会就去，老姐，垂幔的事情我也一并和裁缝说了吧？

DaiyanYes, thank you.好，辛苦你了。

Type 97Oh, don't worry about it!怎么会，小菜一碟啦！

Daiyan97, has your workload been easing up the past few days?97，这几日，你的任务似乎轻松了一些？

Type 97Yeah! Griffin's work isn't actually endless, and with how good your little sister is, I naturally work more than twice as fast as everyone else!是啊！格里芬也不能一直都忙嘛，而且你妹妹我这么厉害，速度肯定是别人的2倍不止啦！

(Type 97 continues to confidently boast unti her gaze Zhaohui's placid pair of eyes.（97式得意地吹嘘着，直到视线撞上朝晖平静的双眼。）

Type 97W-what, do you not believe me? Ok, well, maybe not twice as fast. Probably one and a half times, yeah, one and a half.干、干嘛，你不信吗？就算没2倍，也有1.5倍吧，嗯，1.5。

DaiyanLooks like I hold less sway over you than Zhaohui, even as the older sister.看来我这个姐姐，还没有朝晖能管住你呢。

Type 97No way! Of course I'd listen to you, Sis! It's just that, after working together, Zhaohui is pretty cool as well... The Emergency Handbook says we gotta judge things by their own merits, too. I can't judge people with tinted glasses.怎么会！我肯定是听老姐的呀！只是，合作下来，朝晖确实也还不错啦……《应急手册》里不是说了，就事论事，不要戴着有色眼镜看待队友嘛。

DaiyanI'm just kidding. It does make me at ease to see you two getting along, really. Zhaohui may not be former Griffin, but she's very experienced in combat as well. It wouldn't hurt for you to take some of her advice.逗你的。看到你们关系缓和，我其实放心不少。 97，朝晖虽然并非出身格里芬，但是作战经验也很丰富，平时，她的意见，你也可以多参考一下。

Type 97Well, she's our competitive advisor currently. I can hardly just ignore her.她现在是我们的参赛顾问，不听也不行呀。

Type 97Ok, let's move on from that. Sis, do you think we can get in one more round of practice before it gets dark? You know, because we can't practice at night since the neighbors complained and all.好了别管这个了老姐，我们趁天黑之前，赶紧再练一遍，最近不是因为邻居投诉，我们晚上都不能练了吗？

DaiyanYeah, of course.嗯，好的。

(Type 97 begins to put up a stance to match Daiyan's music, but her communications terminal suddenly begins to ring.)（97式刚摆好起手的架势，准备跟随黛烟的演奏表演武术，通讯终端突然嗡鸣起来。）

Type 97Ehh? Wh-what happened? The fire exit I cleared out is blocked again?欸欸？什——怎么回事？之前清理的消防通道又被堆满了？

Type 97Ok, look, that assignment's already over and done with. If you need it done again, go talk to Griffin! I've got some stuff to take care of, bye.哎呀，这个任务已经结束归档了，要做的话你们再去找格里芬啦！我还有要紧事，先不说了。

Daiyan97, work comes first. It's alright.97，任务重要，没关系的。

Type 97No no, yesterday me and—I, I helped the security department clear out a fire exit in a food court's back alley. This morning, someone blocked it up proper with a bunch of crates.不是啦，昨天我和——我是说我自己，刚刚协助治安部门把一个饮食街后巷的消防通道清理干净，结果今天一早，那个通道不知道又被谁用箱子堆了个严实。

Type 97But the personnel there signed off on it yesterday, and the agreement for the job is one-time. It's like not like I'm bound by contract for life, right? Even if they wanted to discuss the matter, they should go talk to Griffin. I didn't sign a personal contract with them or anything.但治安人员昨天已经验收过了，签订的合同也是一次性的，总不能让我们包终身啊？就算希望商量一下，也该去找格里芬，又不是我个人和他们签的合同。

Type 97If you asked me, those security guys really need to improve their surveillance. If anything was to actually happen—要我说，还是得他们治安部门加强监管，真出事了就麻烦了——

(Before Type 97 is finished, the buzzing sound of a communications terminal fills the room again.)（97式话没说完，通讯终端的嗡鸣声再次响起。）

Type 97Oh come on, aga—huh? Not mine?怎么又——诶？不是我的？

ZhaohuiThis is Zhaohui, go ahead. Yes... ok, I understand the situation, but that's not possible.我是朝晖，您说，嗯……嗯，情况我了解了，但是不行。

ZhaohuiThis is not a problem within my purview. You can contact the second party within the contract, though, and lengthen the contractual period. You can use the submitted fine according to the terms as payment.这不是我该处理的问题，不过，您可以联系合同的乙方，延长周期。按照规定收取的罚款，也可以用作后续的佣金。

ZhaohuiThat's all. Bye.先到这，再见。

(Zhaohui indifferently ends the call, quickly exchanging a look with Type 97 standing behind Daiyan, who desperately shakes her head and makes a "shush" motion with her hand.)（朝晖毫不留情地结束了通讯，迅速和站在黛烟背后的97式交换了一下眼神，对方拼命摇头，摆出了“嘘”的手势。）

ZhaohuiSome trouble to clean up with another request. It's nothing, I've already sent it back. Let's continue. 97, at the end of the third set, you moved an 8th of a beat too early—另一个委托出了点后续问题，没事，已经推回去了。 继续排练吧，97，第3组动作结束的时候，你提前一个8拍调整站位——

(Brrrrrm—Brrrrrm—)（嗡——嗡——）

The familiar humming arises again. 97 instinctively looks towards Zhaohui, but soon realizes that the sound is coming from her pocket.)（熟悉的嗡鸣再次响起，97式习惯性地看向朝晖，但很快意识到是有人在联络自己。）

Type 97Oi, I told you to go talk to Griffin! Calling me again isn't going to do anything!哎呀，不是跟你们说了去找格里芬嘛，你总找我也没用呀！

Type 97Huh? Qiongjiu...? No, I did as I was told, they— Ok, ok, I know. I'll just make another run over there...嗯？琼玖……？不是，我按要求做的，是治安部门那边—— 好吧好吧，我知道了，我再去一趟现场就是了……

(Type 97 waves at the two still in the room, taking her leave.)（97式向房间里的两人挥挥手，走出了门。）

DaiyanLooks like there's no more practice to be had today for 97.看来97，今天是不能继续排练了呢。

ZhaohuiYeah, let's leave it here today for now. Daiyan, keep practicing in your own time. I'll go sort out the costumes and textiles.嗯，今天先到这，黛烟你继续练习曲目，我现在去把服装和布景的材料搞定。

DaiyanZhaohui, a moment, please... I have some remaining questions...请等一下……朝晖，我这里还有些疑问……

(As Daiyan pauses and hesitates, Zhaohui seems to come to an understanding.)（看到黛烟欲言又止的神情，朝晖似乎明白了什么。）

Zhaohui...I see.……我知道了。

Section 4 第四节

(2 days later—)（2日后——）

(It is already evening as Type 97, Daiyan, and Zhaohui make their way back to their lodging after purchasing supplies.)（采买完生活物资已经是傍晚，97式、黛烟以及朝晖走在返回公寓的路上。）

Type 97Why the outdated parts, big sis? We should still have enough projected money this month.黛烟姐，干嘛要买老版本的配件嘛，我们这月的预算应该还够呀。

DaiyanI understand, but these are the best value for the money. They are indeed lesser in performance than the newer models, but they ought to be enough for common encounters.我了解过，这是性价比最高的版本，虽然作战性能上确实会比最新型低一些，但应对一些日常战斗，还是足够用了。

Type 97There's no need to penny pinch like this, I've made quite a bit of money recently!不用这么斤斤计较啦，我最近赚了不少钱的！

Type 97When'd you start paying attention to this stuff though, Sis?倒是老姐你什么时候也开始关注这类资讯了？

Type 97These parts get updated at the drop of a hat, and the notices are often only posted on the manufacturer's website with no advertisement whatsoever. Even a Griffin tech can easily fall behind if they don't pay attention for just a moment.这些配件隔三差五就会更新一次，还经常只在自家网页上发布，一点宣传都不做，即便是格里芬的技术人员，稍不注意都会落后版本呢。

DaiyanUgh...唔……

Type 97What is it?怎么啦？

ZhaohuiI told her about it.是我告诉她的。

Type 97Explains it. Why do you keep up with this stuff though? Are you a parts ricer or something? No wonder you don't take days off ever—我说呢。不过你关注这个干嘛？你不会是配件发烧友吧？难怪穷得全年无休——

Type 97Ahem, I mean, no wonder you wanted to come help us with the competition.咳，我是说难怪要来给我们做比赛指导。

ZhaohuiFulfilling requests is indeed my main source of income. I must maintain personal combat performance, lest the need arise.委托确实是我的主要资金来源。 我需要保证自己的作战性能，以备不时之需。

DaiyanWhen the competition's over with, then, could I come join you in handling requests? I have need of money for my future travels, too.那等比赛忙过去，我也来一起做委托吧？我接下来的旅途，也需要钱。

ZhaohuiOf course.可以。

Type 97Sis, your little sister's right here! If anyone's gonna help, we might as well do it together!老姐，你的妹妹可还在这呢！要帮忙，也是我们两个一起呀！

DaiyanBut... you are an elite T-Doll, after all. Your limited time should be allocated to more important assignments.但……我的妹妹可是精英战术人形，自然是要把有限的时间交给更重要的任务。

Type 97No need to worry at all, Sis, I can handle it.我都能搞定啦，老姐不要瞎操心。

Type 97Look, am I not taking care of both Griffin's assignments and the music competition?你看，现在我不是格里芬的任务和音乐比赛都能兼顾吗？

DaiyanYes, yes, my little sister is the best.是是是，我的妹妹最厉害了。

Type 97You know it~We're almost there, and it's not late yet. I've got nothing from Griffin currently, so we should still have time to get some practice in.那是当然~就要到公寓了，今天时间还早，格里芬那边也暂时没安排，我们回去还能再排练一下。

DaiyanYeah...嗯……

Type 97Let's go, then! I've adjusted my routine these two days, so we should sync up much better now than before!那我们赶紧回去吧！这两天我又调整了一下动作流程，比之前更贴合老姐的琴音哦！

(Type 97 happily dashes off, a variety of wares in her hands.)（说完，97式开心地拎着东西，向公寓方向跑去。）

(The three soon arrive at the apartments.)（很快，三人抵达了公寓门口。）

Type 97We're here~before the neighbors go to bed, let's get what practice we can!到了~趁邻居们还没睡觉，我们赶紧开始排练吧！

(Type 97 unlocks the ID lock, pulling on the handle.)（97式刷开验证锁，拉下了门把手。）

(Click—)（咔嚓——）

(An almost imperceptible sound follows.)（微不可闻的细小声音随之响起。）

ZhaohuiGet down!趴下！

(Daiyan and Type 97 react quickly, diving to either side of the door.)（在朝晖的提醒下，黛烟和97式快速反应，向门两侧跳开卧倒。）

(With a great "bang", searing flames pour out from the now open door.)（随着“轰”的一声，灼热的烈焰从洞开的门扉中喷薄而出。）

NeighborWhat are you lot doing, for the love of—oh, s-shit! Fire!大晚上的，你们几个人形又在——妈、妈呀，着火了！

(The thick smoke and flame triggers the old apartment block's fire alarm. The startled inhabitants cluster into a blob, rushing towards the fire exit.)（浓烟和火焰触发了老旧公寓的防火警报，被惊动的居民们瞬间乱成一团，推挤着向安全通道跑去。）

Type 97A gas explosion? But we don't use gas stoves!这是燃气爆炸？但我们不用燃气炉啊！

ZhaohuiTrigger ignition! Someone set an ambush for us!是触发式点火器！有人埋伏我们！

ZhaohuiNo time to wait for the fire brigade. You two, go find firefighting equipment, I'll go help the residents evacuate!等不及消防队了，你们两个，去找灭火装置，我去安全通道协助居民疏散！

(Zhaohui's figure quickly disappears behind the thick layers of smog.)（朝晖的身影快速消失在厚重的烟雾之中。）

Type 97This bloody block, alarms work well enough but these hoses don't do a thing!这破公寓，只知道响警报，喷水龙头却不干活！

DaiyanI remember the second floor has handheld fire extinguishers on the west side. I'll go look for them!我记得二楼的西侧尽头有手持灭火器，我去找找！

Daiyan97, clear out this floor's hallways, don't let the fire spread!97，你先清理一下楼道里的杂物，别让火势加剧了！

Type 97Ok! Be careful!好！老姐你小心点！

(Type 97 swiftly cleans out the boxes stacked up in the hallway, desperately extinguishing the embers that threaten to take root with her jacket.)（97式麻利地清理着楼道内堆积的箱子，奋力将攀上它们的火苗用外套扑灭。）

Type 97Thank goodness there aren't very many paper-based things here... or there'd be big trouble.还好现在纸制品少了……不然麻烦可大了。

Type 97But...可是……

(Type 97 worriedly looks into the room as smoke continues to belch forth.)（97式忧心地看向不断冒出浓烟和火光的房间。）

Type 97Our competition props and Sis's zither are all in there. I can't just sit and let it all burn!比赛的道具和老姐的琴都在里边，不能这样任由它们烧下去！

Type 97What do I do, what do I do... What did the Emergency Handbook's disaster chapter say...怎么办，怎么办……《应急手册》灾难篇是怎么说的来着……

Type 97Right! In that pile of stuff over there—对了！我记得刚刚的杂物里边——

(Making her decision, Type 97 quickly dismantles a box of drinking water, pouring water all over her clothing. Taking a deep breath, she dashes in fearlessly without a second thought.)（有了决断后，97式快速拆开了装有饮用水的箱子，将一大桶水浇在自己的衣服上。深吸了口气，义无反顾地冲进了火场。）

Type 97T-Doll Type 97, beginning operation!战术人形97式，作战开始！

(With the firefighters' arrival, the fire quickly comes under control. Type 97 and the others successfully evacuate the premises.)（随着消防队的抵达，火情很快就得到了有效控制，97式一行也成功撤离了火场。）

Daiyan...…………

Type 97Hey, Sis...老姐……

(Type 97 lightly tugs at Daiyan by her side.)（97式轻轻地扯了扯坐在身旁的黛烟。）

Type 97Don't be so angry...老姐，你别生气呀……

DaiyanI told you to wait for me.我说过让你等我的。

Type 97I-I was just trying to do something good. By the time you got back, the props and outfits we prepared would've gone up in smoke.我、我也是好心嘛，等老姐回来，我们准备那么久的道具和演出服就都毁了。

Type 97I-it's not like everything is perfectly fine... but at least I've got your zither! So long as we still have that, we can still compete.虽、虽然现在也没好到哪去……但至少，我把老姐的琴抢救出来了！只要有它，我们就还能参赛。

Type 97And you went in after the supplies, too, Sis...而且，老姐后来不是也冲进来抢救物资了嘛……

(Type 97 gestures at a delicate-looking bag in Daiyan's arms.)（97式指了指黛烟抱着的一个外表很精致的袋子。）

(The bag is quite weighty, and looks like it contains quite a few things. Under Daiyan's protection, it remains completely intact.)（袋子很重，看起来装了不少东西，在黛烟的保护下，它毫发无损。）

DaiyanThose aren't the same things. 97, how am I supposed to be at ease if you're so impulsive?这不是一回事。97，你总这么冲动，让我怎么放心呢？

Type 97Hey, Sis, what's in the bag?呃老姐，这袋子里是什么呀？

DaiyanThat's... 97, you're changing the topic again.这是……97，你又在转移话题了。

Type 97N-no, I was just curious.没、没有啦，我只是好奇。

Type 97You came in with that fire extinguisher, and after making sure I was alright you went straight for that bag, instead of your zither.老姐端着灭火器冲进来，发现我没事之后，完全不管自己的宝贝古筝，反而是直冲着它就去了。

DaiyanHonestly—其实——

(Daiyan is interrupted by Zhaohui as she walks over.)（黛烟的话被走来的朝晖打断。）

ZhaohuiI've given the firefighters and security personnel the rundown, they're ascertaining the reason for the fire. They might seek you out to assist with the investigation in future.我把大致的情况和治安人员以及消防队说了，他们正在验证起火原因。可能之后还会找你们配合调查。

Type 97Uh, are they gonna pin us as suspects for the fire?呃，他们不会还要怀疑是我们放的火吧？

ZhaohuiUnlikely. Chances are the arsonist's already been caught.那倒不会，纵火者大概率已经归案了。

Type 97Huh? Already? Someone finally wound up the security machine here?啊？这么快？治安管理部门上发条了？

ZhaohuiYeah, they stick the coil spring on the suspect, wind it up, and they'll cuff themselves and begin yelling "come arrest me".对，他们会把发条装在罪犯身上，拧一下，罪犯就会带着手铐大喊“快来抓我”。

Type 97...Huh?……啊？

DaiyanZhaohui, are you... trying to brighten the mood?朝晖这是又在……活跃气氛吗？

ZhaohuiThat wasn't funny? I'll try a different approach next time.嗯，不好笑吗？那我下次换个说法。

Type 97Ah... what exactly happened?呃……还是说说具体怎么回事吧！

(Zhaohui tells the two how the arsonists came to be taken into custody.)（朝晖将纵火犯归案的前因后果告知二人。）

Type 97You're telling me those two saw you leaving the building with the residents, turned and ran, but also handed themselves in without a fight?你是说，那两个家伙看到你带着居民从火场里出来，扭头就跑、不打自招了？

ZhaohuiYes. They tried to move in different directions while running away, but they ran into each other and collided. Took us no effort whatsoever to catch them.对，他们跑的时候想要分头行动，结果却撞得摔在一起，抓捕都没费力气。

Type 97Seriously, stop it with the jokes!这时候就不要活跃气氛啦！

ZhaohuiI'm not joking.没有，是实话。

Type 97Gah, it makes me so mad to think that our props and room got torched by idiots like that! Who the hell are they, going after us in particular?……一想到我们的比赛道具和房间被这种笨蛋点了，就有点火大！他们是谁啊，干嘛要针对我们啊？

ZhaohuiBecause you're a bit too productive. Your—Griffin's recent involvement in this satellite city's affairs has influenced the other local PMCs business, because of how efficient they are.因为你太勤劳了。 你——格里芬最近刚刚接手这座卫星城的业务，但是因为效率很高，影响到了本地其他P.M.C.的生意。

ZhaohuiThese PMCs' people have seen you with Griffin's Dolls, so they mistook this apartment for a Griffin den. They never imagined that these blocks would be so decrepit as to have no real functional firefighting equipment, and nearly caused some real casualties.这家P.M.C.的人曾经见过你和格里芬的人形一起行动，所以将这间公寓误认为是格里芬的据点。但他们也没想到老式公寓年久失修，消防设施会失灵，差点闹出人命来。

ZhaohuiAnd according to them, this isn't the first time they've been architects of destruction here.而且据他们所说，这也不是第一次试图搞破坏了。

Type 97Not their first time...不是第一次……

Type 97Ah! Were they the people who did all that snooping around and boarded up the back alley with boxes?啊！难道说之前鬼鬼祟祟盯梢的，还有往后巷里堆杂物的都是他们！

Type 97Please, could you dig into it a bit more? I'm not—拜托！能不能多少调查一下啊！我又不是——

(Realizing that Daiyan is right next to her, Type 97 suddenly cuts herself off.)（意识到黛烟就在身边，97式的话语戛然而止。）

Daiyan97, I...97，其实我……

Law Enforcement OfficerTake a good look, she's the Griffin Doll you're talking about?看清楚了，你们说的格里芬人形就是她？

(A few security personnel approach the group with an apparent arsonist in tow.)（几名治安人员押解着一名看似是纵火犯的人靠近过来。）

ArsonistYeah, that's her, I've seen her before! With a black-haired Doll from Griffin!对，就是她，我以前见过她！跟格里芬一个黑头发的人形一起做任务！

Type 97Black hair... you mean Qiongjiu?黑色头发……你说琼玖吗？

ArsonistSee, she admits it! I'm not lying!您看，她承认了！我没撒谎！

(After another wary look, the security personnel quickly aim their weapons at Type 97.)（治安人员们戒备地看了一眼97式后，迅速掏枪对准了她。）

Type 97W-what's going on?做、做什么啊？

Law Enforcement OfficerDo not resist! You are under suspicion of illegally entering POL-05 under a false identity. Come with us.不要反抗，现怀疑你捏造身份非法潜入POL-05，跟我们走一趟！

DaiyanWait, surely there must be some misunderstanding here?等一下，这里面是不是有什么误会？

Law Enforcement OfficerIf you don't want to be kicked out for obstruction of public affairs, mind your own business.不想因为妨碍公务被驱逐出城的话，就别管闲事。

Law Enforcement OfficerTake her away!带走！

Type 97Sis, I didn't do anything bad, I promise! It'll be fine, I'll just explain to them, don't worry—老姐，我没做坏事，没事的，解释一下就好了，你别担心——

(Type 97 acquiesces and raises her hands, leaving the scene as she is escorted away by the security personnel.)（97式老实地举起双手，在治安人员的重重包围下，离开了现场。）

Section 5 第五节

(Three days later—)（3日后——）

Type 97Ah, uhh... I-I feel like I'm still a bit low on power...啊，那个……我、我觉得我好像还有点电量不足……

Type 97Could I go back to charge for a bit again?要不，让我再回去充个电？

Law Enforcement OfficerThis is the security department. Go take care of it yourself at a maintenance station, whether it's charge or bad contacts.这是治安管理局，不管是充电还是接触不良出去自己找维修站解决。

Law Enforcement OfficerDon't dawdle. Your business is all done with, no problems. Leave quickly.别磨蹭了，你的事情已经调查清楚了，没什么问题，你赶紧走吧。

Law Enforcement OfficerNo end to those who don't want to come here, but I can't say I've seen someone who doesn't want to leave...不想进来的我见得多了，不想走的还是头一回碰上……

Type 97Then you should've gotten it right the first time instead of coming and grabbing me...那你们当初就该先调查清楚，不要直接来抓我啊……

(Type 97 mutters to herself quietly, walking towards the security department's door.)（97式小声嘟囔着，不情不愿地走向了治安管理局的大门。）

(As expected, Daiyan and Zhaohui wait for her outside.)（果不其然，黛烟和朝晖正在门口等她。）

Type 97How am I supposed to explain to Sis now...现在这样，你们让我怎么跟老姐解释啊……

(With heavy steps, Type 97 meekly walks up to Daiyan.)（拖着沉重的步伐，97式最终还是老老实实走到了黛烟面前。）

Daiyan97, are you alright?97，还好吗？

Type 97I'm fine, it's just... routine questioning. I entered POL-05 via completely legitimate means, and I have an outsourcing contract from Qiongjiu and the others... They caught on pretty quickly that I wasn't some Griffin Doll with a forged identity.没事，就是、例行问话，我在POL-05的准入手续本来就是合法的，加上琼玖她们出具的外包合同……治安部门很快就明白我不是什么伪造了身份的格里芬人形。

Type 97I didn't report in with Griffin because I'm just an external Doll, part of their outsourcing... it was all a miunderstanding.之所以没有跟着格里芬一起报备，是因为我只是接外包的编外人形……一切都是误会。

Type 97So the questioning ended pretty quickly, and the rest was just procedural bloat...所以，问讯很快就结束了，之后都是在等手续和流程……

DaiyanThat's good, then. Let's head back to the hotel. The apartment is out of commission, and the owner's summating their losses... I doubt they will be fully willing to have us as renters again, after compensation has been paid.那就好，我们先回旅店吧。公寓暂时住不了，房东在清算损失……可能赔偿后，也不一定愿意租给我们了。

Type 97Sorry, Sis... I wasn't being truthful...对不起，老姐……我没说实话……

Type 97Now we're in all of this trouble, and your zither nearly went up in flames because of me...结果现在惹了这么多麻烦……差点让老姐的琴都被烧了。

DaiyanThis isn't all your fault. I should have had a discussion with you long ago instead of pretending I did not know, and waiting for you to reveal everything. Zhaohui was right. Putting things off will only in grievances cumulating.这不完全是你的问题，我早就该和你谈谈的，而不是一味地装作不知道，等你自己坦白。 朝晖说得对，拖延只会令不幸积聚。

Type 97Pretending—huh?装作——啊？

Type 97Zhaohui, I asked you to help me keep a secret... You sold me out ages ago?朝晖，我不是要你保密的嘛……原来你早就把我卖了？

ZhaohuiI did not.我没有。

Type 97Then—那——

DaiyanIt wasn't Zhaohui.不是朝晖。

DaiyanAfter you left Griffin, Helian contacted me, telling me that you left in a hurry and didn't make your plans clear, except that you wanted to see me first of all.其实你离开格里芬后，赫丽安就联系我了，她说你离开得匆忙，没有说清自己的计划，只是说想先来看看我。

DaiyanQiongjiu and the others' previous visit to POL-05 and your attempts to take over some of Griffin's affairs, I knew of as well.另外，琼玖她们上次来POL-05，以及你想接手格里芬任务的事，我也都知道。

Type 97So Qiongjiu was so willing to hand those missions over to me because...?所以琼玖愿意把任务交给我，也是因为……？

DaiyanYes, I did make such requests of her and Helian. I wanted to assist you behind the scenes, but then you hired Zhaohui.嗯，我拜托了她和赫丽安。 原本我是想自己暗中来协助你的，但后来你雇佣了朝晖。

Type 97But why? Am I still a kid who hasn't grown up to you? You just watch as I go from place to place, as if it's all a joke...为什么啊？老姐你还是把我当长不大的小孩子吗？ 就这样看着我跑来跑去，像个笑话一样……

DaiyanThat's not it at all! I just had my own personal desires...不是这样的！我只是有自己的私心……

DaiyanAfter I left Griffin, contact between us lessened. Glad as I was with your growth, I was still filled with worry and longing... Then, when we met again, I couldn't help but treasure this time we have together.从我离开格里芬后，我们的联系逐渐减少。虽然我欣喜于你的成长，但也还是充满了担忧和想念……后来，我们重新相遇，我更加难舍这段姐妹团聚的时光。

DaiyanI understand that... a young bird must one day leave the nest, but I selfishly hoped that the day would come just a little later.我明白……幼鸟总有离巢的那一日，可是却又自私地希望那一日，能够晚些到来。

DaiyanSorry, the one being immature here was me... So, I prepared a gift for you, hoping to make everything clear.对不起，这次不成熟的，其实是我……所以，我准备了礼物给你，想要跟你说清楚。

(Daiyan produces a box from the bag in her lap, handing it to Type 97.)（黛烟从拎着的袋子里，掏出了一个盒子交给97式。）

Type 97...Here, a combat uniform and the newest parts.……这是，作战服和最新型的配件。

Type 97So the thing you rescued from the fire last time was the presents you prepared for me?难道说，老姐上次从火场里抢救出来的是送我的礼物？

DaiyanYeah. Thank goodness I made it in time, so the fire spared them.嗯，还好抢救得及时，它们没有被烧毁。

Type 97So—you went to the trouble of understanding part iterations and saving up money, all to get presents for me...原来——老姐去了解配件版本，花钱变得节俭，都是因为给我准备礼物……

Type 97But there seems to be some other stuff in there still... is it for the Commander?不过，这袋子里看起来还有些东西……莫非是给长官的？

DaiyanYeah... In my travels, I had unwittingly...嗯……在游历期间不自觉就……

(Daiyan takes a moment to settle her emotions, looking at Type 97 gravely.)（黛烟调整了一下情绪，然后认真地看向97式。）

DaiyanThis isn't the time for that. 97, I... have some other things I'd like to say to you.先不说这个了。 97，我……还有一些话，想对你说。

Daiyan97, to you, I might be a nagging older sister, and I once... I treated you like a little kid. When I heard you had left Griffin, I had only become more certain of that.97，在你眼中，我可能是个絮叨的姐姐，我曾经……也总把你当成小孩子，尤其是得知你离开格里芬时，我更加坚信这一点。

DaiyanBut in this time we've had togethered, I discovered that you had grown up in that time without my noticing.但是这段时间的相处，我发现你已经在我没有察觉的时间里长大了。

DaiyanThose assignments I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle, you managed easily... I have no doubt that you are an excellent T-Doll as you are.那些我担心你无法完成的任务，你都可以轻松地解决……这样的你，无疑是一名优秀的战术人形。

DaiyanYou remembered my wishes, and so you wrote those impressionistic pieces with me, followed me in my travels and performances. I remember yours as well, and so I cannot keep you by my side for my own purposes... These presents celebrate your growing up, but also your future journies...你记得我的愿望，所以陪着我编写印象曲、演出、四处奔走，而我也记得你的，所以我不能因为我的愿望，把你留在身边…… 这份礼物，为你的成长庆祝，也为你的远航祝福……

Type 97Journies? Sis... a-are you sending me off?远航？老姐……你、你要把我送走吗？

DaiyanJust... like before, you stopped me from remaining at Griffin because of you... You should not be accommodating for me, adjusting for me. That is not how we should be as sisters.就像……你之前，阻止我为了你留在格里芬一样…… 97也不应该一直迁就、迎合我，这不是理想的姐妹关系。

DaiyanWhether it's petitioning to return to Griffin, or finding a position at another PMC, I am sure you will have no problems. Go, become an outstanding T-Doll. Don't toil by my side, wasting your effort.无论是重新申请回到格里芬，还是寻找其他的P.M.C.就职，现在的你都没有问题。去成为厉害的战术人形吧，不要再一边忙碌，一边跟着我浪费精力了。

Type 97...That's not it! It isn't what you're thinking at all! I never wanted that!……我没有！老姐，不是你想的那样！那不是我真实的想法！

Type 97I... stayed at Griffin, because I wanted to be free of your constraints... I was thinking that if Griffin was to ever receive word from the Elmo, I'd just straight up ignore that contract, and go look for the Commander...我当时……留在格里芬，只是想着，能摆脱老姐的管束……还盘算着，一旦格里芬得到了艾莫号的消息，我就无视那个协议直接去找长官……

Type 97But I already know that those... were childish ideas. They would make trouble for people important to me, and worry people that care for me.但我已经知道了，我那些……只是很幼稚的想法……甚至会给自己重要的人带来麻烦，也会让关心自己的人担忧。

Type 97So, now, I'm going to stick with you, Sis!所以，现在，我决定跟着老姐一起行动！

DaiyanIs... is that so?是……这样吗？

Type 97Yeah! I've thought it through. You might be a bit long-winded, but what you say always makes sense, Sis...嗯！我已经明白了，老姐虽然啰嗦，但说的话都有道理……

Type 97And I was real childish before, creating a bunch of problems for Griffin right after their restructuring...我之前也真的很幼稚，给刚刚重组的格里芬惹了不少麻烦……

Type 97If it wasn't for the Emergency Handbook you left me, I might have become scrap long ago.如果不是老姐留下的《应急手册》，我可能早就报废了。

Type 97And I missed you, too. After all of this time, I found that only you and the Commander would unconditionally put up with my flaws, trusting me, letting me act spoiled...而且，我其实也很想念老姐，这么久了，我发现，只有你和长官会无条件包容我的缺点，相信我，让我撒娇……

Type 97But I didn't want you to be disappointed that I was the same as I used to be, so I couldn't help myself, and lied...但我又不想让老姐觉得我毫无长进，对我失望，所以才没忍住说了谎……

(Type 97 wipes at the tears on her face.)（97式擦了擦脸上的眼泪。）

Type 97There's no such thing as me having to accommodate for your wishes. I want to follow you, Sis, no matter what you're doing.老姐，根本就没有我迁就你的愿望这回事，我现在就是想要跟着老姐，做什么都好。

Type 97It'd be nice to run into the Commander before that contract expires. If we can't, we'll go look for the Commander together once it's over and done with!在协议解除前，要是能偶遇到长官就最好啦，要是不能，那就等那个协议解除之后，一起去找长官！

Type 97...Alright?……好不好？

DaiyanHow could I say no? I would never want to part with my adorable sister...怎么会不好呢？我也很舍不得可爱的妹妹啊……

Type 97Sis—!老姐——！

(As Type 97 prepares to leap into Daiyan's arms, she catches a glimpse of Zhaohui standing off to the side.)（就在97式准备扑到黛烟怀里的时候，突然瞥到了站在一旁的朝晖。）

Type 97D-don't just stand there! Say something! Don't you know it's awkward to keep staring?你、你要不就别站在这里，要不就说点什么，这样盯着看很尴尬哎！

ZhaohuiI beg to disagree. I currently both face you, and have my back to you. For I am a tree, and there is no such thing as front or back.不用尴尬，我现在是面对着你们，也是背对着你们，毕竟我只是一棵树，找不到正反面。

Type 97When are you going to give up on the attempts at humor?你到底什么时候才能放弃对搞笑的执着啊？

ZhaohuiThat wasn't funny? Then next time—不好笑吗？那下次——

Type 97I'd very much prefer there wasn't a next time!还是不要有下次了！

(Poorly received as it was, Zhaohui's bizarre joke breaks through the somber air, and Type 97's countenance lights up like the sky after the rain clouds clear away.)（虽然不被认可，但朝晖诡异的冷笑话确实打破了伤感的气氛，97式的表情如雨过天晴，变得明媚起来。）

Type 97Right! If I remember correctly, we're only a few days away from the preliminaries, right? We need to prepare our props and outfits again! If we rush them, we should still be able to make it!对了老姐！我没记错的话，比赛海选是不是只剩几天了？我们要赶紧重新准备道具和演出服！加急制作的话应该还来得及！

DaiyanBut... our budget from before is more or less spent, and we have to pay the landlord as well...可是……之前的筹备已经基本把钱都用光了，还要赔偿房东的损失……

Type 97Hehe, this is where I come in, as the elite Doll Type 97~嘿嘿，这时候就要靠我堂堂精英人形97式啦~

Type 97I requested part of my pay to hire Zhaohui, but I still have some remaining. No matter what, the incident this time was a targeted operation against Griffin. There's no way Qiongjiu and Helian will dodge responsibility.之前为了雇佣朝晖我预支了一部分报酬，但是还有结余哦。 而且不管怎样，这次事故对方是冲着格里芬来的，琼玖和赫丽安一定不会回避责任的。

Type 97I'll go talk tot hem tonight!我今晚就回去交涉一下！

DaiyanWe'll be relying on you, then.那就拜托给你了。

DaiyanOh, 97, have you come to a conclusion about the name? The committee contacted me earlier, and your stage name needs to be locked in.另外，97，关于名字的事情，你有想法了吗？组委会今早联系过我，你的名字必须要确定了。

Type 97Oh, I nearly forgot. Sis, do you think I should just go with Jiangyu still?对哦，差点把这件事忘了。老姐，我觉得要不然就还是叫“绛雨”吧？

DaiyanEh? Weren't you still a little uncertain as to whether or not you should use an old name?诶？你不是一直有点拿不定主意要不要用过去的名字吗？

Type 97That's true... I was just worried that using the same name would make it look like I haven't grown at all. When we're back with the Commander, it'd suck compared to everyone else's slick new names!是这样啦……主要是担心用以前的名字会显得没什么成长……等再追随长官的时候，和大家五花八门的新名字对比起来，会输一大截！

Type 97But the name also carries with it many of my important experiences, and I don't really want to let go of it. Since you've just acknowledged my growth, Sis, I think the Commander will realize it as well. Perhaps I've just overthought all of this.但那个名字也承载着我很重要的经历，我自己也舍不得啦。 既然老姐刚刚承认了我的成长，我想长官也一定能发现，之前可能都是我想太多了。

DaiyanYeah, I'm sure the Commander will see the results of your efforts.嗯，长官一定会看到你的努力的。

JiangyuAlright! I'll be going back to "Jiangyu" from now on!好耶！从现在开始，我就叫回“绛雨”啦！

JiangyuEx-Griffin elite Dolls, Daiyan and Jiangyu, poised to take this musical competition in dominant fashion!前格里芬精英人形，黛烟、绛雨，势必狠狠夺下音乐比赛的胜利！

JiangyuOperation is a go!作战开始咯！

Section 6 第六节

(On a somewhat torrid afternoon, Jiangyu drags me to her room, gesturing with all four limbs as she tells me of her experiences at the satellite city when she went to seek Daiyan—)（在某个稍显炎热的午后，绛雨把我拽到房间，手脚并用地讲述了她去卫星城投奔黛烟的故事——）

JiangyuWhat do you think, Commander? Is Sis not a massive bully?长官，你也来评评理嘛，老姐是不是很欺负人？

JiangyuShe knew the entire time that I had left Griffin, but she never said a word, and saved up money in secret to buy a present for me!她明明早就知道我离开了格里芬，却不告诉我，还偷偷攒钱给我买礼物……

JiangyuIt was embarassing! And made me look like a dolt!这样让我很不好意思欸！还显得我很呆！

CommanderHaha, all's well that ends well. You didn't really get mad at her, did you?哈哈，结果好，就好了。你也没有真的责怪她吧？

JiangyuOf course not! I'm a grown-up Doll now!那是自然，我现在可是成熟的人形了！

JiangyuTo think of it, I really was silly back then. I made up on lie, and then had to round it out with a hundred more... it nearly went really badly.现在想想，当初真的好幼稚，好面子编了第一个谎言，还要试着用无数个谎言去圆……最后差点出了大麻烦。

JiangyuWould've been better to just been honest from the start!还不如一开始就坦诚一点呢！

JiangyuIn any case... I don't want to lie anymore!反正……我再也不想说谎了！

JiangyuWith all of that time spent, I could have gotten in another thousand or so cycles of throwing a punch.有那时间，我都能练习出拳1000次了。

CommanderLooks like you've got it all figured out.你这不是想得很清楚嘛。

JiangyuCo—mmander! Stop bullying me like Sis!长——官——！你怎么和老姐一样欺负我啦！

JiangyuYou've got no idea how tired I was, running from place to place every day!你都不知道，我当时每天都忙来忙去，超级累超级累的！

JiangyuIf I could go back to then—if I could—要是重来一次——要能重来一次——

Jiangyu...I don't know what would happen.……我也不知道会发生什么呀。

CommanderIt's already over and dealt with. No need to think so much.事情已经解决了，也不用再想这么多。

JiangyuHuh? You're right...啊？也对哦……

JiangyuThat makes sense, let's not think so much about what's in the past!长官说得对，已经过去的事就不想那么多啦！

JiangyuA lot of things have happened, but I'm back here next to you at last~虽然经历了各种各样的事件，但好在最后我还是成功来到了长官身边~

JiangyuI-I really appreciate what we have on the Elmo right now!我、我很珍惜现在在艾莫号上的生活！

JiangyuStill, those things have happened, and we should absorb what lessons we can...但事情发生了，还是要吸取教训……

JiangyuOk, I've got it! From now on, we should all be more honest to each other. We shouldn't hide things, or lie to other people, alright?这样吧！从今往后，我们都要坦诚一点，不可以对对方有所隐瞒，更不可以对对方撒谎，好不好？

CommanderYeah, I'll do my best.嗯，我尽量。

JiangyuThat doesn't sound convincing at all, Commander! No credibility, none! Let me think...长官，这个回答很让人不放心啊！口说无凭！我想想……

JiangyuI've got it! Give me your hand, Commander. We'll pinky promise, ok?有了！长官，手给我！我们来拉勾好不好？

JiangyuHehe, so long as two people go through this ritual, they have to keep to their promise. If they don't, they'll be punished.嘿嘿，只要两个人进行了这个仪式，就必须完成约定的内容，否则就会受到惩罚。

Commander...Is this a reliable way to enforce things?……这种东西靠谱吗？

JiangyuOf course! Absolutely! Quickly, give me your hand!当然靠谱！超级靠谱！快把手给我！

JiangyuPinky promise for a hundred years! Whoever breaks the promise is a sucker~拉勾上吊，一百年不许变！谁要变，谁是小狗~

JiangyuOk, the ritual's done~嘿嘿，仪式完成~

JiangyuI don't want you to be punished, Commander... So you'd better keep to your promise!我可不希望长官受到惩罚……所以，长官以后可一定要遵守才行哦！

JiangyuHup—Alright, time to practice that movement I saw a couple of days ago!唔——好，就练前两天见过的散打动作吧！

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

CommanderYou've been reading recently, no?你最近好像在看书？

JiangyuOoh, you're interested too? I'm reading a secret manual on growing stronger that Qiongjiu gave me a while ago!长官也感兴趣？我在看以前琼玖发给我的变强秘籍哦！

JiangyuI don't read often, but this is a good read. Makes me want to learn that eighteen palms or whatever it was called!我虽然不怎么看书，但这本很有趣，看着看着，我也想学书里那个什么什么十八掌的武功了！

JiangyuIf that ever works out, you'll be the first to see it, Commander!要是哪天会了的话，我要第一个表演给长官看！

CommanderHow did the performance go?之前的乐队演出怎么样？

JiangyuPerfectly, of course! Even Zhaohui told me my sense of rhythm was getting better, stone-faced as she is.当然大成功啦！就连朝晖那个扑克脸也夸我的节奏感越来越好。

CommanderI've seen you practicing hard. Good work...我有看到你努力排练，了不起……

JiangyuHang on! Were you going to pat me on the head? D-don't treat me like a kid!等等！长官你刚才是想摸我的头吗？不、不要把我当小孩子啦！

CommanderWere there any snacks you wanted?你有想吃的零食吗？

JiangyuYeah, all kinds! Ah, I do have some bad memories about candy though.嗯！有很多零食都想试试，啊……不过，糖果的话，我有些不好的回忆。

JiangyuTo avoid some enemies once, I escaped into a candy factory. I... had to hide in a pile of half-finished candy!有次为了躲开敌人，我逃进了糖果工厂，然后……不得不藏到一大堆的——半成品糖果里面！

JiangyuThat overwhelming, syrupy taste... and the sticky sensation... I didn't want to see any candy for a long time after that.糖浆腻人的味道……还有黏黏的感觉……那之后我很久都不想再看见糖果。

CommanderI've been hearing that you often charge your frame in the rest area.我听说你经常在休息室里给素体充电？

JiangyuWell, I'm always running low on power. Feels like the battery is getting a bit old, it's probably time for a new one.因为电量总是不够嘛，感觉电池有点老化，该换新的了。

CommanderIsn't it just because you run around all the time burning that energy up?不是你到处跑，才导致耗电太快的吗？

JiangyuB-but! If I don't run those dozen miles of the mountain road, I can't get the results I want from my training, right?!但是但是！要是不经常跑个十几公里的山路，不就达不到修行的目的了吗？！

CommanderYou sometimes go to the rest area in your combat uniform, right?有时候你会穿着作战服来休息室吧？

JiangyuIt's pretty comfy. I like wearing it around even when not on the clock.因为作战服很合身啊，就算没有任务的时候我也喜欢穿。

JiangyuBig Sis gave it to me, after all. It means a lot to me.而且，那件作战服还是老姐送给我的，很有意义的礼物。

CommanderNo wonder you treasure it like you do.怪不得你好像很爱惜它。

CommanderDoes Daiyan talk to you often?黛烟会经常地找你通讯吗？

JiangyuYeah, she rambles just like she did before. Compared to when we were at Griffin though... She definitely doesn't call as often.对啊，老姐还是和以前一样喜欢唠叨。不过，比起在格里芬的时候……现在找我要少一些了。

CommanderYou've grown, so she trusts you more.你成长了，所以她也更信任你。

JiangyuReally~? Hehe, it's not like I really mind her so much nowadays. She does make a lot of sense with what says, after all.是嘛～嘿嘿，其实我也没那么讨厌老姐的唠叨了，因为她的话还是很有道理的。

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。

Project Top Class Ⅰ 顶流计划·Ⅰ

CommanderJiangyu, what's with the sudden desire to make the Monsoon band trending?绛雨，说起来怎么你突然心血来潮，想着要让季风乐队成为顶流了啊？

JiangyuIt's not sudden at all! I've been mulling over this plan for ages now!不是什么心血来潮啦！这可是我酝酿好久才想出来的计划！

JiangyuWe've been here on the Elmo for a while now; Big Sis and the others finalized their plans recently, and they're going to travel and put on performances wherever you go, Commander.毕竟来艾莫号也有段时间了，之前老姐她们也确认了行动方针，打算今后跟随指挥官您的足迹进行演出。

JiangyuI kept thinking that I had to do something more as I watched Big Sis, Zhaohui, and Faye put in effort for the band while trying to integrate into daily life on the Elmo.看到老姐、朝晖和绯都已经一边为乐队努力，一边融入艾莫号的日常生活，我也想着必须要做点什么才行。

JiangyuSo I put together this plan from scratch. I'm going to spring it on Big Sis without her knowing and get her recognition!所以我才制定了这个厉害的计划，想着偷偷努力，做出成果后获得老姐的认可！

CommanderI can understand why you feel like that. Mind telling me a little about this plan of yours?这份初衷我倒是可以理解。那么，能让我听听你的厉害计划吗？

JiangyuHehe, steady yourself!哼哼，您可别吓一跳哦！

(Jiangyu beams, producing a piece of paper she's obviously been keeping close to her heart. Ideas for "How to make Monsoon top the charts!" are scribbled all over it.)（绛雨露出得意的神情，从怀中取出一张看上去被精心保存着的纸张，似乎上面写满了“让季风成为顶流！”的方法。）

JiangyuFirst on the agenda is committing the emergency manual Big Sis gave to me to memory in its entirety!首先，我想要做的第一件事，就是把老姐给我的应急手册背下来！

Commander...Hang on, did I miss something?……等一下，是我错过了什么吗？

CommanderWhat does the manual have to do with Monsoon's popularity?背下应急手册和让季风乐队成为顶流之间有什么关系吗？

JiangyuIt has everything to do with it!当然有关系啦！

JiangyuA top-tier band needs top-tier musicians. If I cannot overcome my weaknesses and become more mature, my band also can't be the best!顶流的乐队当然有着顶流的乐手，如果我没有克服缺陷让自身变强变成熟，自然也就不能让乐队成为顶流啦！

CommanderThat's one way of looking at it...倒也确实是这个道理……

JiangyuIt's true that I used to be rash, always putting myself in danger. I heard no end of it from you and Big Sis, of course.之前我在行事上确实是有些鲁莽，总是将自己置于危险中，因此没有少被老姐和长官您念叨。

JiangyuTo stop any possible accidents, Big Sis wrote a super-duper thick manual for me, telling me to remember what's inside well.老姐之前为了防止意外发生，专门给我写了超级超级厚的一本应急手册，叮嘱我将里面的内容记住并遵守。

JiangyuI really tried to remember, too, but I always fell asleep in just a few pages...我也曾努力试着记下，但最后看了几页就睡着了……

JiangyuBut it'll be different this time! I'm going to put in maximum effort, and I'll remember it start to finish with your help, Commander!但这次不一样了！这次我一定要好好努力，在指挥官您的监督下，将整本应急手册的内容倒背如流！

CommanderI'd rather you use your remaining memory space on other things... But I'm sure this would make Daiyan happy, if you had the effort to spare.虽然我希望你能把记忆容量多用在其他方面……不过，你有这份心的话，黛烟她也会很欣慰吧。

CommanderSo, where is that super-thick manual of yours now?那么，你所说的那本超级超级厚的应急手册现在在哪里？

JiangyuWhat are you saying, Commander... It's right over there, on the desk...长官您在说什么呢……应急手册它不就放在桌子上……

JiangyuEhhh?! That's weird, where'd it go?诶诶诶诶？！奇怪了！它跑到哪里去了？

JiangyuI think I was going to put it on the desk before I went looking for you. But then I went for routine maintenance on the way, and went to the deck to meditate for a bit. Then I went out on assignment...我明明记得我去找您之前打算把它放在桌子上，但是中途去了趟检修，之后去了趟甲板打坐，再之后去执行了趟任务……

JiangyuWait, could I have lost it?!唔，难道说我不小心搞丢了？！

CommanderThat certainly looks to be the case...看起来是这样呢……

JiangyuWhat do I do, what do I do, help me Commander!!! If I've actually lost it, I'm not gonna hear the end of it from Big Sis...怎么办怎么办，长官，帮帮我——！！如果弄丢的话，老姐她又要念叨我啦……

CommanderCalm down, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's go through those places you mentioned previously one by one, carefully.好好好，先别急，我们耐心点一起去你之前所说的地方找找看吧。

(Looks like it's gonna take longer than expected for Monsoon to climb the charts...)（看来，离季风乐队成为顶流的路比想象中更加漫长啊……）

Project Top Class Ⅱ 顶流计划·Ⅱ

JiangyuAlways be prepared 30 minutes before the performance begins. Do not wander off to explore roadside stalls.“演出开场前的三十分钟内必须做好准备，不能因为被路边摊吸引而随意离开。”

JiangyuAdditionally, do not purchase food before going on stage. This includes but is not limited to: ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn...“此外，不能在登台前购买食物，包括但不限于冰淇淋、棉花糖、爆米花……”

CommanderGood work. With your recent efforts, you've already got these parts of section 3 down.嗯，很好。通过这段时间的努力，你已经可以把第三节的注意事项背下来了啊。

Jiangyu...I'm happy to be praised by you, Commander, but the contents of what I'm trying to remember still make me a little embarrassed.……虽然被长官夸奖是件很开心的事情，但是一想到背诵的内容总觉得有些不好意思。

Jiangyu(Sigh) I didn't think that this is how Big Sis sees me... Even I don't run away before a show to buy food...唉，没想到我在老姐的眼中原来是这样的存在啊……就算是我，也不至于在演出前突然跑去买吃的啦……

CommanderIs that right? Who brought popcorn onto stage last time then?是吗？那上一次演出时，带着爆米花上台的人形又是谁？

JiangyuT-that was just an accident!那、那次只是个意外！

JiangyuIt's all the fault of the guy running that stall for making the smell so enticing and fanning it toward the stage...都怪那个卖爆米花的老板把味道弄得那么诱人，还故意往舞台的方向扇风……

JiangyuMy attention slipped for a moment, and he got me. When I came back to my senses, I already had a bucket in my hands.我一时没有注意就着了他的道，等回过神来的时候，怀里就已经抱着一桶爆米花了。

JiangyuBig Sis gave me an earful for that, to be sure. I bought popcorn just once! Does that really warrant a special mention?因为这事我没少被黛烟姐念叨。不过也就那一次买了爆米花，老姐不至于为此专门把这条写上去吧！

CommanderAlright, no point fixating on these things.好啦，不要再纠结这些了。

CommanderYou've got the better part of the manual memorized. What now?应急手册的部分你已经记得七七八八了，接下来你打算做些什么？

JiangyuHehe, off to journey the world, of course! I want to improve my understanding of both martial arts and music. I also plan to come up with some new choreography that Monsoon can bring out for the new season!哼哼，接下来要做的当然就是修行啦！我想在旅途中提高对招式和音乐的理解，然后领悟出能作为季风乐队下一季度招牌的舞步！

CommanderThat sure does sound like your style, Jiangyu.修行啊……很有绛雨的风格。

JiangyuDid I... say something I shouldn't have, Commander?怎么了长官，是我说错什么了吗？

CommanderDon't worry, Jiangyu. You've done well with your work recently, and a little bit of vacation wouldn't be amiss.没事没事，反正最近绛雨的工作完成得很好，就当做休假也没有什么问题。

CommanderSince you're setting off... Here, have this.既然你想出去修行的话……给，这个给你。

(I pass a bag I prepared in advance to Jiangyu.)（我将早已准备好的背包递给绛雨。）

JiangyuThis thing is stuffed full. What's in here, Commander?长官，这个鼓鼓囊囊的包是什么啊？

CommanderSome luggage I prepared for you. There's supplies, ammo, and basic parts for maintenance.是我之前为你准备的行李，里面放了补给、弹药，基础的维修零件也都准备了些。

CommanderOn top of that, there's a terminal you can contact me with in case of emergency, the newest maps, and a manual with some things to take note of.除此之外，还有和我的紧急联络装置，最新的地图，以及写有注意事项的手册。

JiangyuAwesome! Thanks, Commander!太好啦！谢谢长官！

JiangyuHow'd you know I was gonna go train...? Could it be that you've reached the final stage of understanding oneself and can see the future, Commander?不过您是怎么知道我想要外出修行的事情的……难道说，长官终于进入了武道的最高境界，能够未卜先知了——

CommanderAs if... I've just known you for so long. I naturally know what's on your mind, so I made preparations in advance.怎么可能啊……我也和你相处那么久了，自然而然知道了你想做些什么，于是就提前准备了。

JiangyuFeels like you're still treating me like a kid, Commander...总感觉被长官您当作小孩子对待了……

JiangyuJust you wait! When I'm back, I'll be all grown up like you and Big Sis!您等着，等我修行回来后一定会像您和老姐那样成为成熟的大人的！

CommanderAlright, alright, I'll be waiting for the day. Be safe on the road! Make sure you remember your scheduled check-ins with me and Daiyan!好好好，那我拭目以待。一路顺风，路上注意安全，不要忘了保持同黛烟和我的定期联络！

Jiangyu...You sound exactly like her! I'll bring gifts back, okay? You'll see the results of my training!……不要和老姐说一样的话啦！总之，我会带礼物回来的！您就期待我修行的结果吧！

Project Top Class Ⅲ 顶流计划·Ⅲ

JiangyuCommander, I'm back~长官，我修行回来啦~

CommanderWelcome back, Jiangyu. Did you go tell Daiyan you were well first like I told you to?欢迎回来，绛雨。有没有按我叮嘱的先去和黛烟她们报一声平安？

JiangyuOf course! I'm not some little kid!当然了，我可不是什么小孩子啦！

JiangyuHere, Commander. Took me a while to pick this out!长官，给你这个。这可是我精挑细选的礼物哦！

(Jiangyu opens her pack, happily putting a uniquely-shaped tree branch in my hand.)（绛雨打开背包，开心地将一根造型奇特的树枝塞到我的手中。）

CommanderWhat's this branch?这个长相奇特的树枝是什么？

JiangyuThis is no normal tree branch! The broker who sold it to me told me it's wood from the Kunlun mountains. It was buried beneath the earth for a millennia, and it's capable of bringing out inner potential!这可不是什么普通的树枝！把它让给我的暗商说过，这是在地下埋藏了千年的昆仑木，可以引发人体内的潜力！

JiangyuDolls might not be able to use it, but it can divert misfortune for humans. It's said that boys enjoy waving around these sticks, too!虽然我们人形没法使用，但对人类来说可以消灾避祸，而且每个人类的男孩子据说都喜欢挥舞这样的棍子来玩！

JiangyuSo, how about it? Isn't it awesome? Do you like it, Commander?怎么样怎么样，是不是很棒的礼物？喜欢吗，指挥官？

CommanderI certainly do... Which broker sold this to you? Send me their address when you have time. I must thank them in person for selling you such a fine item.喜欢是喜欢……哪个暗商卖给你的，回头去登记一下对方的地址吧，要为卖给了你这么好的礼物去登门道谢才行。

CommanderBut since you're back, your training must have borne fruit, right?不过既然你这样就回来了，说明修行有了成果了吧？

CommanderWhat does the inspiration that'll make Monsoon's choreography the best in the business look like?能够让季风一跃成为顶流的编舞的灵感，是什么样子的？

JiangyuAh—啊——

CommanderDid you forget all about it?看你的表情，是把这些忘在脑后了？

Jiangyu...……，…………

JiangyuI-I didn't forget on purpose!我、我不是故意要忘记的啦！

JiangyuI really was trying to train at the start, but then all kinds of things came up.一开始的时候我还想着要进行修行，后来发生了各种各样的事情。

JiangyuELID attacks, a lake dive, mountaintop meditation... And then I got fully immersed in the fun that was finding a gift for you!像是被生骸袭击啦，湖中深潜啦，山顶打坐啦……到最后完全沉浸在找到了能带给指挥官的礼物这件事的喜悦中了！

JiangyuSo I... ended up forgetting my original goal? Damn it, what did I do all this journeying for?! My understanding was far too shallow!结果却完全……忘记了本来的目的吗？可恶，我到底修行了个什么呀！我的道行太浅了！

JiangyuI must hone myself further! I need to arrive at a new level of understanding!我这就再出发修行！这次绝对要想出新的理解！

CommanderAlright, alright, let's settle down a little first. Look, your frame's all tattered. Some repairs would do you good.好啦好啦，好不容易回来了，先稳定下来。你看，你的素体都破破烂烂，也该前去维修了。

JiangyuBut my training...但是，修行的事情……

(I pat her on the head with a smile.)（我摸了摸绛雨的头，露出微笑。）

CommanderMore than the results of your training, I looked forward to your safe return.比起修行方面的事情，我更希望能看到你平安归来。

CommanderBecause Monsoon is only Monsoon with all 4 members... Everyone has been worried while you were away, thinking about your safety.毕竟你们四个人在一起才是季风乐队……在你离开的这段时间里，大家都很担心，一直牵挂着你的安危。

JiangyuI... I understand. I'll stay here for a bit then, if you put it that way.我……我知道了。既然长官都这么说了，那我就先不外出修行啦。

(Jiangyu suddenly realizes something, her face and ears flushing with embarrassment.)（绛雨突然意识到了什么，脸庞和耳根因害羞而变得娇红。）

Jiangyu...I only realize now that I came to see you in such an unseemly state. I must have forgotten about shame for a moment.……在安下心来之后，突然意识到自己就这么破破烂烂来见您，怪不好意思的。

JiangyuHold on, Commander, I'll be back in just a moment! You wait right there!长官您稍等，我很快就修理好回来！您一定要在这里等我啊！

Project Top Class Ⅳ 顶流计划·Ⅳ

JiangyuCommander, Commander—I've finally got it! What Monsoon needs is a producer!长官长官——我总算醒悟了！季风乐队不足的地方就是——经纪人！

Commander...Hah?……啊？

JiangyuAll of those big shot bands have producers to arrange all of the things they do, right? I can't think of a better possible candidate than you, Commander—please accept!那些更厉害的乐队不都是会有经纪人来安排各项事务吗？我觉得除去长官之外再也没有更好的人选了——长官！请答应我！

CommanderThere's no way I'd have the time...再怎么说我也不会有那个时间啦……

JiangyuIt'll be fine! If you'll be our producer, I can pivot to secretary! I'll handle all of that stuff!不会的！如果长官是经纪人的话，我可以转任长官的秘书！这种事让我去做就好啦！

JiangyuI really, really think that'll boost Monsoon to the top! Then, we'll be able to help you do what you want to!我真的真的觉得，这样的话，季风乐队就可以成为顶流哦！然后我们就能更好地帮助长官完成您想要做的事了！

CommanderSpeaking of this, Jiangyu... Are you dissatisfied with your current life?这么说起来，绛雨……你对现在的生活不满吗？

JiangyuHow could I possibly be?怎么可能不满嘛！

JiangyuI get to be by your side, I get to go around performing with everyone in Monsoon, go out on missions... There's nothing that'd make me more happy!能陪在长官您的身边，像现在这样和季风乐队的大家四处巡演，执行任务……没有什么比这更让人开心的事情了！

CommanderSince that's the case, I think you could maybe adjust how you're thinking about making Monsoon more popular.既然这样的话，那我觉得绛雨想要让季风乐队成为顶流的想法可以适当改变一下。

JiangyuHm? I don't think I understand what you mean, Commander...嗯？我有点没理解长官您的意思……

CommanderConsider this. If Monsoon really became as popular as you've imagined, the band would have to perform and be active a lot more than before.试想一下，如果季风乐队真的成为了绛雨想象中的顶流乐队，那演出和活动都会因此增多。

CommanderYou'd all become busy and have less time to spend together on the Elmo.你们几人也会变得忙碌，一起待在艾莫号上的时间也会相对减少。

JiangyuAh!啊！

Jiangyu...I'd never considered all of that.……这些，我都没有考虑过。

JiangyuCommander, I want everyone from Monsoon to stay together. I want to stay with you too.长官，我想要的是季风乐队的大家能一直在一起，我也可以一直陪在指挥官的身旁。

CommanderYes, I'd like that as well.嗯，那同样也是我的心愿。

CommanderI love Monsoon's style and what they mean to everyone. I hope it stays this way.我很喜欢现在季风乐队的风格和关系，希望它能长久地保持下去。

JiangyuI do, too. We have disagreements occasionally, but I really do treasure everyone.这点上我也一样。虽然偶尔会和大家发生矛盾，但我其实最喜欢季风乐队的大家了。

JiangyuDoes that mean I was wrong to think what I did?可是，这样一来，难道我最初的想法是错误的吗？

CommanderJiangyu, do you remember why you put together the band in the first place? What did you join a band for?绛雨，你还记得你当时组季风乐队的初心吗？是为了什么而加入的乐队？

JiangyuI... I love music, and I love everyone else in the band. I wanted to become more mature as I experienced more and more things, wanted you to recognize my growth, Commander.我……我喜欢音乐，也喜欢大家。我想要在乐队的经历中让自己变得成熟，想让自己成长，获得指挥官您的认可。

JiangyuI wanted the day to come when I can be by your side, like Big Sis.有朝一日，我想要成为能像黛烟姐一样，成为陪伴在您身边的人形。

CommanderHasn't your wish already come true, then?现在的你，不是已经实现了当初的愿望了吗？

JiangyuAh, so that's how...是啊，原来是这样啊……

(She suddenly leaps up, rushing into my arms with excitement and rubbing her face on mine intimately.)（绛雨突然跳起，兴奋地冲到我的怀中，脸亲昵地在我脸上蹭了又蹭。）

JiangyuThank you, Commander! I finally figured out what I really wanted, thanks to you.谢谢你指挥官！多亏了您，我终于明白自己想要的是什么了。

CommanderI don't think wanting to make Monsoon something bigger is necessarily wrong... But there's no need to push it. With your abilities, you'll manage it eventually.我并不觉得让季风乐团成为顶流是什么错误的想法……只是，不必勉强呢，以你们的实力迟早都能做到的。

JiangyuMhm~ Since the four of us are all together for once, we've gotta celebrate with a proper performance!嗯~既然好不容易四人团聚，那当然要好好开一场演出用来庆祝啦！

JiangyuHehe, I wanted Zhaohui and Faye to see the results of my training, too! I'll make Big Sis look at me in a whole new light!哼哼，我也想让朝晖和绯看看我修行的成果，让老姐她对我刮目相看！

CommanderI thought you forgot about the training? Where'd the results come from?你不是之前还说忘了修行吗？怎么现在又有成果了？

JiangyuI just didn't manage to finish working on any moves I wanted to. I still manage to make headway and improve in some ways~只是没有练成什么想要的招式啦，但一些感悟和提升还是有的~

(She smiles, joyously taking my hand.)（绛雨露出微笑，开心地牵起了我的手。）

JiangyuYou'll get a VIP spot, of course! Hehe, your eyes better stay on me!演出的VIP位置当然是属于长官您的！嘿嘿，您可要一直注视着我哦！

JiangyuAs long as your eyes are on me, Commander, we'll be the strongest of all!只要最喜欢的长官一直注视着我，我们就是最强的！

JiangyuYou mean the sheet music Big Sis Daiyan left us before she went out? What about it?你是说，黛烟姐出门前给我们留的这份乐谱？怎么了吗？

ZhaohuiIt's missing a page. Do you know what that means?这本乐谱少了一页，你知道这是什么意思吗？

Jiangyu...Uh.……呃。

JiangyuSilence speaks louder than sound? Big Sis must want us to keep quiet during this part！“此时无声胜有声”？黛烟姐一定是要我们在这里留白吧！

ZhaohuiNo, I don't think that's what she means.不，我想不是这个意思。

JiangyuYou're saying...那你的意思是……

ZhaohuiA missing page is a "blank" space. What Daiyan actually means is—少了一页，就是“空白”，黛烟的意思其实是——

JiangyuWe should fill this blank with OUR improvised performance!让我们用即兴的音乐来填满这部分空白！

Zhaohui(*Suona intensifies*)（一阵劲爆的唢呐声）

JiangyuSo not only are you good with dad jokes, you're actually pretty good with this stuff too.什么嘛，你也不是只会说冷笑话啊，你很懂嘛。

Zhaohui(*Even louder suona intensifies*)（再次爆发出一阵劲爆的唢呐声）

JiangyuLet us fill in this blank with our lively music before Big Sis returns then!那么，在黛烟姐回来之前，就让我们用热闹的音乐来将它填满吧！

Jiangyu(*Loud gong strikes*)（一阵响亮的锣声）

Commander...What are you two doing?……你们到底在干什么？

JiangyuWah! C-Commander!哇啊！是，是长官！

CommanderYour music sheets are missing a page, Daiyan asked me to bring it to you... And she also asked me to keep an eye on you two.你们的乐谱缺了一页，黛烟拜托我给你们拿过来……顺便，她还拜托了我照看你们一会。

JiangyuThen why did we get such a low score?!有趣怎么才这个分数！

FayeI told you it wasn't a good idea.早说了，不是好主意。

ZhaohuiKeep working hard.继续努力吧。

JiangyuIt must have been because we didn't warm up enough, so our moves weren't smooth enough—一定是热身不充分，拳脚打得不利索——

JiangyuI'm sure it'll be fine once I get more practice done!等我再练练，一定没问题！

Performance Program 表演节目

JiangyuI've got fire breathing and plate spinning lined up!我现在有准备“喷火”和“转碟”哦！

What's plate spinning?转碟是什么？

JiangyuIt might look dangerous, but it doesn't burn anything. It cranks up the atmosphere real quick, too!只是看起来危险，不会烧到东西的，而且火焰的话，能一口气炒热气氛哦！

JiangyuThough I do mess up sometimes. I think I scorched the roof black last time I was practicing...虽然失误的时候也有，像上次练习就不小心把天花板熏黑了……

JiangyuB-but don't worry! My technique is perfect~放、放心！我技术很好的～

JiangyuIt's a classic trick, spinning ten plates at once! Real thrilling for everyone involved!一种传统杂技，可以一口气转十个盘子，既有趣又惊险！

JiangyuThe plates are all actually plastic, though. Even if they fell, they wouldn't break.实际上盘子都是塑料做的，就算掉下来也不会摔碎的啦。

JiangyuWoah! It was you, Commander.哇！吓我一跳，原来是长官啊。

JiangyuWas it... Zhaohui that told you to speak to me?难道……是朝晖让你来找我的吗？

Yes.是的。

No.不是。

JiangyuI-I'm just resting for a bit. The training schedule's just insane, I can't even get time to breathe.我、我就休息一下下，排练的日程太紧了，再怎么说也应该让人喘口气吧？

JiangyuWait, but I just left. Even Zhaohui couldn't have discovered I was missing that quickly.等等，我才刚走，就算是朝晖，也不可能这么快就发现我不见了呀。

JiangyuOhh—You're messing with me, right? Seriously. I'll be there in just a moment.啊——我知道了，是长官在故意吓我，对吧？真是的，我休息一会儿就会回去的。

JiangyuPhew, thank goodness. I'm just taking a little break, the recent training's been just ridiculous!呼，那就好，我就休息一下下，因为最近的排练日程太紧了！

JiangyuTraining in the morning, training in the afternoon, training in the evening. Even if the performance is in a few days, is this really necessary?早上要练，下午要练，晚上还要练，就算再过几天就是表演的日子，也不用这么拼吧？

JiangyuWell, there'll be a way, I'm sure~ I'm taking a break.反正车到山前必有路～先休息一会儿再说。

JiangyuIt's exhausting to hold back force for so long... Commander, I feel so sleepy...不过要一直控制力量真的好累……长官，我现在好困……

CommanderGo sleep for a bit, then.先去旁边睡一会吧。

JiangyuNo, no! Can't go to sleep without eating first!不行不行！饺子还没吃怎么能睡呢！

DaiyanLeave the remaining dumplings to me. Please go set the table, Jiangyu.呵呵呵，剩下的饺子就交给我来煮吧。餐桌就拜托你了，绛雨。

JiangyuHm?嗯？

JiangyuAh! The Commander's bad-mouthing me!啊！长官在说我的坏话！

CommanderRight, and who was it who broke twenty-eight coffee pots and thirty bowls at Griffin, fifteen teacups and thirty-seven drinking glasses at the Oasis, and broke nineteen frying pans?在格里芬破坏了二十八个咖啡壶，三十个碗，在绿洲砸坏了十五个茶杯，三十七个高脚杯，用坏了十九个平底锅的人形到底是谁呢。

CommanderSometimes the trouble you got in was just too big. Nothing I could do.那是因为你有的时候闯的祸太大了，我也帮不了你。

JiangyuUwawawa! Commander, help me tidy this up!哇啊啊啊啊！长官快帮我收拾。

CommanderYes, they're very good.嗯，很好吃。

DaiyanTo think of it, the last time we ate together at these hours was a long long time ago.回忆起来，上次我们这样一起吃宵夜已经是很久前的事情了。

DaiyanMake you think back on our times at Griffin and the Oasis...不由得让人想起在格里芬和绿洲的时光……

JiangyuYeah, a lot of stuff sure happened after that!是啊，在那之后真的发生了很多很多事情！

JiangyuMe and Big Sis have had dumplings together after we were separated from you, Commander, but there was always something missing.虽然和长官分别后，我和老姐也有一起吃饺子的时候，但却总感觉差点意思。

JiangyuI knew it, dumplings are best with three!饺子果然还是要三个人在一起吃才好吃！

DaiyanYeah, you're right. I do wish these times could go on forever.嗯，你说的对，真希望这样的时光可以一直延续。

JiangyuHehe, I know it'll all work out! Don't you think so too, Commander?嘿嘿，我相信肯定没问题的！长官，你说是吧？

CommanderHm... I do.嗯……是啊。

CommanderI do enjoy moments like this, too. Thank you, Daiyan, Jiangyu.我很喜欢这样的温馨时间。黛烟，绛雨，谢谢你们。

JiangyuDelicious midnight meals, and chit-chat with the Commander too.每天晚上都可以有好吃的宵夜，每天晚上都可以和长官聊天。

JiangyuI know. I'll be careful to not cause any trouble for him when I'm performing.我知道的，我会在舞剑的时候小心点，不给长官添麻烦。

CommanderThe piece Daiyan played last time with me was lovely.上次黛烟和我合奏的曲子就很不错。

JiangyuEh? I remember the midnight meal we had... but what do you mean played "with you"?诶？宵夜我倒是记得……合奏又是什么情况？

JiangyuCommander, it's my turn to stay with you next! I'm going to get my... Big Sis, lend me your guzheng!长官，接下来该陪我了！我去拿我的古……老姐，你的古筝借我！

CommanderLooks like she's going to continue making a fuss if we don't agree.看来不答应她会一直闹别扭啊。

DaiyanHehehe.呵呵呵。

CommanderYou look happy, Daiyan.黛烟你看上去很开心啊。

DaiyanHehehe, it's because it's part of the "family" feeling you were talking about.呵呵呵，因为这样更加有您说的一家人的味道啊。

Journal Entry 1 日志·一

JiangyuNew area! New inspiration!新的地区！新的灵感！

JiangyuWriting a tune for places of a contaminated zone is probably not something Big sis has much experience with, right? I wonder what kind of piece she'll compose this time.给污染区里的地方写曲子，老姐大概也没什么经验吧？ 不知道老姐这次会谱出什么样的曲子来呢？

JiangyuCommander, you'll come to the performance once the piece is done, right?长官长官，等曲子作好后，你会来听演奏会的对吧？

CommanderYou're planning for another performance?你们又准备演出了吗？

JiangyuNot bad Commander, but—Nope!不愧是长官，一猜一个准——不对哦！

JiangyuThough it is Monsoon's tradition to share tales of our journeys through music.虽然，用音乐讲述旅行的见闻，是季风乐队的传统啦……

JiangyuBut opening a concert in the contaminated zone is still quite the challenge.不过，在污染区里开演奏会，多少还是难了点。

JiangyuHence, we're preparing to play on the Elmo first!我们准备先在艾莫号上演出哦！

JiangyuIn that case, Zhaohui can try to use her suona, as for Faye... Big sis will take care of that~这样，朝晖可以试试用她的唢呐，绯……就看老姐的安排吧~

CommanderRemember to let me know when you have a date.时间定好了，记得提前跟我说一声。

JiangyuOf course! If the Commander's coming, we'll make sure to leave you a first-row seat!那当然！长官要来，那就留第一排啦！

JiangyuAhem, I still can't believe not only we've boarded the Elmo, but also became Elmo's Monsoon Squad. To think that...咳咳，真没想到，我们现在不但来到了艾莫号，还成了艾莫号的季风小队，想当初……

JiangyuUgh, it's a story from back when Griffin got restructured...呃，就是格里芬重组那时候的事啦……

JiangyuAnyway, since Big sis is still composing, and there's no rush to rehearse it... Let me tell the Commander about it, shall I?反正曲子老姐还在写，也不急着排练……我来跟长官讲讲吧？

CommanderOkay, I'm all ears.好，我认真听。

Journal Entry 2 日志·二

JiangyuAhhhh, so annoying!啊啊烦死了！

CommanderWhat's going on?怎么了？

JiangyuWe did agree on the theme of the piece being the Elmo, so—说好了印象曲以“艾莫号”为主题，既然如此——

JiangyuIt should be completely improvised and come off however we want!那就应该绝对即兴，想怎么来就怎么来！

JiangyuThat's what the Elmo is all about!这样才算得上是艾莫号嘛！

JiangyuBut Zhaohui disagrees, saying something like, "If there isn't a main motif to act as support, complete improvisation will only lead to chaos!"可朝晖却说什么“如果没有主干支撑，完全的即兴只会乱套”，根本不同意！

JiangyuBut complete chaos is part of the fun of performing!明明乱套也算得上是一种表演乐趣嘛！

JiangyuMaybe the Commander happens to like it?说不定长官正好喜欢呢？

CommanderThat's the impression "Elmo" made on you?“艾莫号”，居然给你留下了这种印象吗？

JiangyuHeh? You don't think so, Commander?欸？长官……不是这么想的吗？

JiangyuI figured that's how everything works here. Whatever I say, the Commander always nods~. On top of that, no matter what happens, the Elmo keeps chugging along just fine.我觉得就是这样的呀，不管我说什么，长官都会答应~ 然后，不管发生什么，艾莫号都会好好地运行着~

JiangyuWhat's this called again... hmm, order born out of chaos? Right?这叫什么……唔，乱中有序？对吧？

CommanderSee, you said it yourself, there's "order" within chaos, which is the whole point.你也说了是乱中有“序”，重点在后面。

JiangyuEhh? Oh right...欸？对哦……

CommanderAnd by the sound of it, Zhaohui isn't exactly dismissing you.而且听起来，朝晖也不是在完全否定你。

JiangyuI-is that so? I thought... Zhaohui simply assumed I was messing around...是、是这样吗？我还以为……还以为朝晖是觉得我在乱来呢……

JiangyuAnyway, the point being—Commander, can you please convince Big sis and the others to write it according to my idea!总之就是——长官，你能不能帮我跟老姐她们说说啊，就按照我的想法来写！

CommanderI'll give it a try. It seems, though, that you've already grown used to life on the Elmo.我试试。 不过，看起来，你已经适应在艾莫号上的生活了。

JiangyuEhh? Oh right...欸？对哦……

JiangyuI used to think that... there'll always be a period of adjustment when one's environment changes...我之前以为……环境变了，总是要有一段适应期的……

JiangyuHmmm—what did I do back when Griffin got restructured to get acclimated again?唔——格里芬重组那段时间里我是怎么适应的来着？

JiangyuLet me search through my neural records from that time before I tell you... Found it! It starts with Faye—please don't interrupt me, Commander!让我检索一下当时的心智记录再跟你说…… 找到了！最开始的话是绯——长官不要打断我哦！

CommanderWell, go ahead.嗯，你说吧。

Journal Entry 3 日志·三

JiangyuCommander, the rehearsal's over! Not bad, huh?长官，排练结束啦！还不赖吧？

JiangyuBig sis said the performance on the Elmo will be crucial, hence the rehearsal...老姐说，在艾莫号上的演出很重要，就先安排了一次排练……

JiangyuA-and I did somewhat listen to Zhaohui's advice... just a little!也、也多少稍微听了听朝晖的意见啦……稍微、稍微！

JiangyuCommander... What do you think?长官……觉得怎么样？

JiangyuIs it... a bit too messy?会不会……有点太乱了？

CommanderNo? I think it's very lively.没有，我觉得很热闹，挺好的。

JiangyuReally? T-that's wonderful!真的啊？那、那太好了！

Jiangyu...……

JiangyuWell, actually..唉，其实是这样的……

JiangyuYou know, we used to go on tours... and then some audiences would complain that I was loud, or that I stood out like a sore thumb in the band.我们之前不是会在各个地方演出嘛……然后，就有些观众说我吵闹，说我在乐队里显得很突兀。

JiangyuHowever, I believe that if I really exercise self-control like Big sis advised...但我觉得，如果我真的像老姐说的收敛一点……

JiangyuI can certainly do that, but—I won't be myself anymore!也不是不行，但——那就不是我了啊！

JiangyuBut I don't want to get into trouble like back then...可我也不要再像那时候一样闯祸了……

CommanderWhich was?那时候是？

JiangyuStuff back from the Griffin days还是留在格里芬的事啦。

JiangyuLet me just tell the Commander now! After that, you can help me decide!干脆再跟长官讲讲好了！长官听完顺便帮我拿拿主意？

JiangyuLet's see if I made the right choice by holding my ground back then.看我该不该像那时候一样坚持己见？

CommanderSure, go ahead. I'll listen carefully.好，我听听看。

Journal Entry 4 日志·四

JiangyuCommander, I've figured it out!长官，我想通了！

JiangyuYou were right. Being more considerate of everyone's feelings is important.你说得对，还是要多考虑一下大家的感受。

JiangyuEven if the performance can't be exactly the way I want—-就算演出不能完全按我的想法来——

JiangyuI can definitely still put up a performance that leaves everyone satisfied!我也绝对能呈现出让大家都满意的表演！

JiangyuA difficult challenge is exactly what's needed to emphasize my strengths!有难度的挑战才更能彰显我的实力！

JiangyuHaving said that, I have yet to figure out what to do.不过虽然这么说，我还没想好要怎么做。

JiangyuI thought about playing the Luogu, but Zhaohui said it's too overwhelming.演奏锣鼓的话，朝晖说太喧宾夺主了。

JiangyuBut the yangqin, or whatever it's called, it's so bland when paired with the guzheng!但扬琴什么的，跟古筝和在一起也太没特色了吧！

CommanderShould we ask Daiyan on her thoughts?要不问问黛烟的想法？

JiangyuI'm not a kid anymore. I can't rely on Big sis all the time.我又不是小孩子了，总依赖老姐怎么行？

JiangyuHeh. Though, after our last performance, Big sis organized the compositions she's recently written. I haven't got around to finishing them yet.诶不过，上次演出后，老姐整理了一下她近期写的曲谱，我还没看完。

JiangyuI should take a look at those first, maybe even find some inspiration!倒是可以先看看，说不定能找到点灵感呢！

JiangyuBig sis used to have an "Emergency Handbook" as well, I relied on it to solve lots of big problems!以前老姐还有本《应急手册》，我靠它解决了大问题呢！

Commander"Emergency Handbook"?《应急手册》？

JiangyuYep! Although Big sis wrote so much about what I used to do in it, it was pretty embarrassing to go through it... but it's very handy nonetheless!嗯！虽然老姐写了好多我过去做的事，看起来有点不好意思啦……但还是很有用的！

JiangyuIf Commander wish to know... I can tell you about it~如果长官想听……跟你讲讲，也挺好~

CommanderGreat, let's hear it.好啊，说来听听。

Journal Entry 5 日志·五

CommanderLooks like the issues from before are resolved?看来之前的问题解决了？

JiangyuOf course! You'll never believe it, I'm going to—play the bamboo clapper!当然咯！你绝对想不到，我要——打竹板！

JiangyuAlong with Big sis' guzheng, Zhaohui's suona, and Faye's support acting...配上黛烟姐的古筝、朝晖的唢呐，还有绯的助演……

JiangyuSuch a novel and creative combination is sure to be a hit with the audience!这样新奇又自由的组合，肯定能让观众们眼前一亮！

JiangyuAnd when the time comes, I'll do an impromptu jingle to uplift the vibe!到时候我即兴来上一段数来宝，点燃全场！

CommanderIt's indeed quite novel...嗯，倒是很新奇……

JiangyuRight? It's the result of the discussion between the four of us!对吧对吧！这可是我们四个商量过的结果！

JiangyuBut I was the one who came up with the idea!不过主意可是我想出来的哦！

JiangyuI've grown a lot since leaving Griffin!离开格里芬之后，我可是成长了很多的！

JiangyuAlso, thank you Commander, for reminding me to look at Big sis' composition!也多亏长官提醒我看老姐的谱子啦，谢谢长官！

CommanderWell, I'm looking forward to it.嗯，我很期待。

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1As a lively and rebellious Doll, Type 97 rejected Type 95's offer to leave together after Griffin was restructured in order to be free of her control. She submitted a request to Griffin to remain at her position, but the difficulties that came with this quickly crushed the joys that she derived from her freedom. Most of the time, Type 97 was the happy-go-lucky type and paid no heed to any troubles she encountered. Her extremely high self-esteem made it difficult for her to accept the truth that her mission completion rate was decidedly poor, and the freshly "free" Type 97 soon fell into a state of melancholy. It wasn't until she benefited from a manual left behind by her sister that Type 97 understood her sister's benevolent intentions. After making up with Type 95, Type 97 formally left Griffin and began journeying at her sister's side. She also took up her old stage name—Jiangyu. Lively and outgoing, Jiangyu's desire to express herself and her active disposition allowed her to light up any room she was in. She was also far more impulsive than Daiyan, often needing her sister's reasonable counsel. Even though Jiangyu appeared the same as she always was, she learned how to ease up in her relationship with her sister. Her deeply buried reliance on her sister, however, never changed, even as time went on. After experiencing loneliness and tribulation, the present Jiangyu has become more mature, and she would continue to grow on the Elmo. She believed, all along, that the day when she could stand on her own wasn't far away.活泼而又叛逆的人形，在格里芬重组后，为了摆脱95式的管制，97式拒绝了对方一同离开的邀请，向格里芬提交了留任申请。但随之而来的各种困难，却迅速地击垮了自由所带来的快乐。 大多数时候，97式都是个乐天派，对任何困难都不甚在意。但她极强的自尊心，令她无法接受自己任务成功率过低的结果，很快，刚重获自由不久的97式便陷入了消沉状态。直到她因为姐姐留下的手册而获得帮助，97式才终于理解了姐姐的良苦用心。与95式重归于好之后，97式正式离开了格里芬，和姐姐一同踏上了旅途，并重新使用了自己作为演艺人形时期的名字——绛雨。 相比温柔内敛的姐姐黛烟，绛雨的外向和活泼多话经常能够活跃气氛，表现欲也更为强烈。相应的，她也会比黛烟更加冲动，以至于经常需要沉稳的姐姐协助她。 尽管绛雨看似和过去毫无区别，但实际上，她早已经学会了主动去缓和与姐姐的关系。在绛雨的内心深处，对姐姐的依赖，永远不会随时间和经历而改变。现在的绛雨，在经历了挫折与孤独之后，将会以更加成熟的姿态，在艾莫号上继续成长。她始终相信着，自己真正独当一面的那一天并不遥远。

Record 2—Calm down, this was just an average request, a simple rescue mission. We only need to get in there and free the people trapped within. That's right, I've done this kind of thing with Big Sis countless times. There's nothing to be worried about. Type 97 took a deep breath and grasped the gun in her hand. "Tsk, calm down! Don't go in without thinking!" Just as Type 97 was about to move up, her teammate CZ75 stopped her. "Did you not read the intel document? Just going in will—" What's with that tone of hers? Not even Sis talked to me like that. Type 97 pursed her lips, upset. "Of course I did! Rather than stand here and babble like you, I'm gonna get in there and get those people out!" She rushed into the building without any hesitation, undeterred by CZ75's loud cursing behind her. With her intrusion, however, the already semi-collapsed area collapsed further, and Type 97 was also buried deeply within. Was her first independent mission going to end in failure just like this? Type 97 pushed up a fallen rock with her body, silently beginning to doubt herself. She quickly shook her head and purged the thought from her mind. No, no way. No matter how you looked at it, it was her teammate's fault. If that red piece of work wasn't there to get in the way, maybe everything would have been different. When she encountered CZ75 again after she had changed her name back to Jiangyu, she came to understand that CZ75's surface level rudeness was a flaw of hers caused by her emotional modules. Having both grown in their own right, that unhappy experience was not as difficult to look back on as they remembered.——冷静些，这只是一个中等难度的委托，一个简单的救援任务，只要冲进去把困在那里的人带出来就好了。 没错，这样的任务，自己已经和95式完成过无数次，根本没什么可紧张的。 97式深吸了一口气，握住手中的枪。 “啧，冷静点，别轻举妄动！”在97式刚准备上前一步时，同行的CZ75叫住了她。“你没看情报信息吗？贸然冲进去会——” 什么啊，这样说教的语气，连老姐都没有这么凶过我。 97式有些不满地撅起了嘴。 “我当然看了！比起像你一样在这里啰嗦，越早赶过去，那里的人才能越快获救！” 说完，97式便毫不犹豫地冲了进去，任凭CZ75在身后破口大骂，她都没有停下的意思。 然而，随着她的闯入，本就因塌方而支离破碎的区域再度坍塌，连97式自身也深陷其中。 第一次独立执行任务，难道就要这样失败了吗？ 97式用身体挡住落下的石块，默默地怀疑起了自己，但她很快就摇了摇头，将这个想法赶出了脑海。 不，不对。不管怎么想，都是队友的原因，如果没有和那个红色的家伙吵架的话，或许一切都会不一样。 直到后来，已经改名为绛雨的97式，再次与CZ75相遇时，她才终于明白，CZ75表面的粗暴无礼，只是因为情绪功能导致的缺陷。对于已经成熟了许多的二人来说，这场并不算愉快的经历，似乎也不像回忆中的那样不堪回首了。

Record 3As the performance reached its climax, Jiangyu's confidence was pushed to a whole new level with the audience's excitement and thundering applause. She couldn't help but also get riled up, much like the crowd. "Hah!" Jiangyu crossed her two drumsticks together, lighting them on fire, and tossed them into the air. She leaped upwards with a spinning motion, making several full revolutions before making her landing and catching the two "torches". "Jiangyu—" Daiyan's soft calling was buried in the audience's exclamations. She continued playing her guzheng as she looked worriedly toward Jiangyu. Hearing her sister's voice, Jiangyu turned around and winked cheekily—grabbing the audience's attention with a flashy display of martial arts was a "secret art" she'd been practicing for quite some time. She turned toward the crowd, getting into a rhythm with the torches in her hands. The lighting dimmed as the music swelled to its peak, accompanying a wave of surging flames that poured forth from in front of Jiangyu. Spurred on by the crowd's cheering, Jiangyu even played with fireballs after her fire breathing performance. Unsurprisingly, this performance of theirs was successful like never before. —Sis can't go and reprimand me for not practicing on the drums now, right? As the curtains drew to a close, Jiangyu stood proudly on the stage, taking a glance at Daiyan behind her. After receiving a look of recognition, she raised her head ever-so-slightly higher. From that day on, Jiangyu—who was weak with instruments and music theory—began to work pyrotechnics and martial arts into her performance routines. This style unique to her allowed her to truly shine on the stage.演出已经进行到了最高潮，在台下观众兴奋的神情和如雷的掌声中，绛雨的自信心也被推上了一个新的高度，她也不由得和观众一起兴奋了起来。 “嘿！” 绛雨将两支鼓棒交叉，一瞬间点燃了它们，向着舞台的半空丢去，自己也紧接着连翻了三四个跟头站到了舞台中央，稳稳地接住了两支“火把”。 “绛雨——”黛烟轻柔的呼喊，被埋没于观众们的惊呼声中，她一边抚琴，一边担心地看向绛雨。 听到姐姐的声音，绛雨转身对姐姐调皮地眨了眨眼睛——用帅气的武术动作吸引目光，这可是她暗地里准备了许久的“演出秘技”。随后，绛雨转身再次面向观众，耍起了手中的火把。配合着音乐声，灯光适时地暗了下来，炽热的火焰一瞬间便从绛雨的前方喷出，热浪扑面而来。在观众的喝彩声中，绛雨愈发兴奋，在完成喷火表演后，她甚至耍起了火球。 结果毫无疑问，这场即兴演出获得了前所未有的成功。 ——这下，老姐总不能再责怪我没好好练习架子鼓了吧？ 谢幕时，绛雨有些骄傲地站在舞台上，用余光悄悄看向身后的黛烟，看到肯定的眼神后，她的头抬得更高了一些。 从这一天起，不擅长音律与演奏的绛雨，开始将武术与喷火融入演出中，这种独属于她的表演方式，让她在舞台上熠熠闪光。

Record 4Jiangyu intently studied the manual she was holding with one hand and replicated the motions described within with the other. Jiangyu would always become absorbed in training like this whenever she got her hands on a new martial arts manual. She didn't even notice the room to her dormitory opening. In fact, she also failed to notice the presence of the person who entered. Even as her hands flew past the room's new arrival several times, she was focused on calculating the force to put into each motion in her neural cloud in silence. "I'd have woken you up earlier if I had known." In a flash, the person before her dodged an incoming blow, then caught Jiangyu as she lost her center of gravity. "Woah! I hit someone! Sorry, I got too carried—" Finally realizing that she collided with someone, Jiangyu frantically raised her head to see a familiar face. "Eh? It's Zhaohui!" "What're you doing here? Ah... You're not here to workshop those jokes of yours again, are you?" "I could do that if you wanted." Zhaohui took a step back, created some distance between them, and produced her comms terminal. She turned the volume up to the maximum and said, "I've got something a bit more important here, though—" She cleared her throat and spoke into her terminal. "Looks like Jiangyu's just too busy with training to take care of herself. Don't worry, I don't think she was ignoring your messages and emails on purpose." Jiangyu got a sinking feeling as she watched Zhaohui bluntly inform the one on the other side of the terminal. "Jiangyu, how many times have I told you..." Daiyan's voice immediately came from the terminal. "AAHHHHHH, Sis! Weren't you on a really important assignment? Why are you still coming to nag at me?!" Jiangyu clasped her head with no small amount of anguish.绛雨正在专注地盯着手中的拳谱，另一只手也随着拳谱比划着。每当拿到新的拳谱时，绛雨总会这样心无旁骛地练上很久。 以至于休息室的门开了，她都没能注意到，当然，进来的人也同样被她所无视了。哪怕自己的手在来客的身前反复滑过了数次，她也只是在心智中默默计算着点位，想着挥拳时的力道。 “早知道就叫醒你了。”面前的人一个闪身躲过绛雨突如其来的挥拳，又用身体接住了失去重心的绛雨。 “哇啊！！打到人了！抱歉我太专注了——”终于意识到自己撞到人的绛雨，马上手忙脚乱地抬起头，却看到了一张熟悉的脸，“诶？是朝晖啊！” “你怎么来了？啊……该不会又要我听你新学的冷笑话吧？” “你想听的话倒是没问题。”朝晖后退一步，和绛雨拉开一点距离，随后拿出了自己的通讯终端，将音量开到了最大，“不过，现在还有更要紧的事情——” 朝晖对着通讯终端清了清嗓子。 “看样子，绛雨只是练习得有些废寝忘食了，不用太担心，应该也不是故意不回复你的邮件和通讯。”看着朝晖毫不留情地对着通讯终端交代，绛雨有了一种不祥的预感。 “绛雨，和你说了多少次了……”而下一秒，黛烟的声音从通讯终端中传了出来。 “哇啊啊啊，老姐，你不是去执行很——重要的委托了吗？怎么还来唠叨我啊！” 绛雨有些痛苦地抱住了头。

Record 5"..." As if in silent agreement, the other three members of Monsoon Squad all fell silent after seeing the arrangements in the lounge. "Ta-dah! Here's the surprise I prepared for the party tonight! What do you think? It's gonna be a blast, right?" "It certainly does look interesting..." Daiyan hesitated, contemplating how to put her thoughts into words. "Tsk..." Faye appeared to be holding back an impulse of hers, quickly thinking over what to say. "This is the sixth party this month. You sure this is a surprise?" Zhaohui briefly inspected the scene, then spoke frankly. "Jiangyu, it's not a bad thing to be fond of liveliness, but we cannot make up holidays to have excuses to celebrate. Like this Maple Syrup Festival you say is going on today... There's no such thing in my records." There was gentleness in Daiyan's eyes, but her words were merciless. "Why don't you believe me, Sis? It really exists! Okay... I admit it's nothing famous, but I've seen some stuff on my travels! It's real!" Jiangyu said. She looked down at her newly prepared bamboo clappers somewhat dejectedly. "And I prepared a new shulaibao for this party, too." She picked up a clapper as she spoke, and her melancholy vanished as if it was never there. She began to chant rhythmically in a singsong tone. "Ho! And here be story lit by clapper sound, strings by side shall accompaniment be—" "If you just want to perform, I suppose I don't mind." Faye sat down in her predetermined position, seemingly already prepared. "...I don't mind playing my part." "That's what you said the last five times." Zhaohui said, even as she sat down. "We haven't gotten much practice in recently. Let's just call it that." "If everyone's in agreement..." Daiyan intended to speak her mind further on the topic, but ended up thinking better of it. She sat down before her guzheng, a helpless smile on her face. Her instrument's pleasant sound filled the air, and thus the party began in earnest. "No more flute or suona for you, Zhaohui! Come on, I need you to sing shulaibao with me!" "...Don't get ahead of yourself." Zhaohui's brow twitched, but she put down the instrument in her hand to join Jiangyu. The squad's practice only lasted for a brief period. Soon, many passing Dolls were pulled in, and the atmosphere only became more animated. Wherever Jiangyu went, commotion followed, even if she didn't realize it yet.“……” 不约而同地，季风小队的其他三位成员，在看到休息区的布置后沉默了。 “锵锵！这就是我为今晚派对所准备的惊喜！怎么样？一定会非常热闹吧？” “看上去的确很有趣……”黛烟犹豫着，似乎在思考该如何开口。 “啧……”绯似乎在压抑着某种冲动，快速考虑着自己接下来要怎么说。 “这是这个月的第六次派对了，你确定这是惊喜？”朝晖简单看了一眼布置，便直接说了出来。 “绛雨，喜欢热闹并不是坏事，但是也不可以为了找借口庆祝，就编出来那么多节日哦。比如今天，你说的这个梅珀瑟瑞普节……我的资料中完全没有。”黛烟温和地看向绛雨，嘴里说的话却不留情面。 “老姐，你怎么也不相信我！真的有这个节日！好吧……我承认它不是什么有名的节日，但我也是外出游历的时候知道的，它真的存在！” 绛雨说着，有些失落地看向准备好的竹板。 “我为了这个派对，还特意准备了一段新的数来宝呢，”说着，绛雨就一扫失落，拿起竹板，有节奏地开始了说唱，“嘿，这个竹板儿打，两边琴声这就来——” “单纯的只是想表演，那我倒是没意见，”绯先坐在了准备好的位置上，似乎已经准备好了演出，“……我也不介意配合你。” “之前五次你也是这么说的，”朝晖这样说着，却也入座了，“不过刚好最近没怎么排练，我就当是练习好了。” “既然大家都这么说……”本想再多说两句的黛烟，也露出了无奈的微笑，坐在了古筝前，悠扬的琴声随着她的动作倾泻而出，就此拉开了派对的序幕。 “朝晖，今天你就不用吹笛子和唢呐了，快来，和我一起来说数来宝呀！” “……得寸进尺。”朝晖挑了挑眉，却还是放下了手中的乐器，站在了绛雨旁边。 这份短暂的小队练习只持续了很短的一段时间，不久后，便有不少被吸引的人形前来参与，气氛也再一次升温，直至沸腾的边缘。 绛雨所在的地方，总是会不知不觉地热闹起来，尽管她自己还未能意识到这一点。

Record 6Even without raising my head, I could clearly detect a figure bouncing and skipping into the room. "Commander!" Jiangyu swayed her head from side to side as if worried I couldn't hear her, trying to grab my attention. "Commander—" "I heard you the first time, Jiangyu." To stop her from getting really out of hand, I pulled myself away from my work. I asked as I passed her a piece of candy, "Tell me, what do you want for your reward?" Perhaps upset that I was treating her like a child again, Jiangyu's face immediately puffed up, but she took the piece of candy and placed it in her mouth nonetheless. I couldn't help but continue teasing her, seeing the expression on her face. "A bonus, an outing permission, or a vacation? Whatever you want." I reached out to pat her head as her expression only became more amusing. The coexistence of satisfaction and discontent on her face made it impossible for me to hold in my laughter. "Do you really not get it, Commander?" She grumpily put her hands on her hips and pressed her face closer to mine. "How long has it been since you last praised me, Commander?" "About that—" I tried to stall for time, but she continued to approach me with a burning desire in her eyes. Even if she hadn't said anything, I understood how desperately she wanted recognition from me and Daiyan. "You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?" Jiangyu stepped in further, grabbing me by my clothing. "I'm not letting you off easy today. I'm getting what I want!" Even as she put the pressure on me with her words, Jiangyu's reddened face betrayed her feelings. "Alright, you did well, Jiangyu." I patted her again on the head. A proper reward was necessary sometimes, and she always puts in the effort to deserve it.不用抬头，我能清楚地感觉到，一个蹦蹦跳跳的身影来到了指挥室。 “长官！” 似乎是担心我没能注意到她，绛雨左右晃着自己的头，试图引起我的注意。 “长官——” “喊一遍我就能听到，绛雨，”为了避免她进一步做出什么夸张的行为，我将头从眼前的工作中抬起来，拿出了手中的糖果递给绛雨，“说吧，约好的奖励，想要些什么？” 或许是嫌我又将她当成小孩子，绛雨马上就鼓起了脸，但她的手却还是老实地将糖果塞进了嘴巴里。 看到她这样的表情，我不禁想要继续逗弄她一下。 “奖金，还是外出批准，还是假期？随你挑选。”我伸出手摸了摸她的头，她的表情变得更加精彩了，不满和满足同时出现这张脸上，我忍不住轻笑了一声。 “长官是真的不懂吗？”绛雨生气地叉腰，将脸靠近指挥官。“长官，你都多久没有夸奖我了？” “至于夸奖——” 我故意卖了个关子，但她眼中火焰一样闪烁的渴望却逐渐向我逼近。 即便她不说，我也能明白，她有多么希望得到我和黛烟的认可。 “长官，你是故意的吧？”绛雨上前一步，揪住了我的衣服。“今天可不能就这么算了，我一定要得到我想要的夸奖！” 尽管嘴上说的话很有气势，绛雨微红的脸还是出卖了她的情绪。 “好啦，绛雨这次做得很好。”我再次摸了摸她的头，适度的奖励有时是必要的，更何况，她一直在努力变得更好。

Record 7"Commander! Wanna head out with me?" It wasn't the first or second time Jiangyu had snuck out to play. She typically made her way out while Daiyan was out on an assignment on her own, and I often turned a blind eye to it. This time, she came directly to me. Jiangyu bounced back and forth behind me and watched as I fell deep in thought. "Sis will only be back tomorrow! Look here, Commander, there's a desert we haven't been to yet in the Yellow Zone! Let's go together!" "It's a rare day off and Sis isn't here to talk into my ear, it'd be a shame to just stay on the Elmo! Come on, Commander, the great outdoors awaits! Hurry up and let's go!" She pushed me along as she spoke, and that was how I headed off to that faraway desert with her. ... "So that's the long and short of it?" Daiyan happened to return early from the mission, and she caught us in the evening on that day. Even though she was reprimanding Jiangyu, I couldn't help but feel that I was being admonished as well. "Well, it's not often we get a day off... and I was there, so I'm sure nothing would have happened." Given that this affair was something between the two sisters, I ought not to get involved too much. However, seeing as I participated in the whole deal, I decided that it was better to give Daiyan an explanation. "You spoil her too much, Commander... But it's good that she didn't bring you any trouble." Daiyan smiled gently at me before turning to Jiangyu. "Never mind you sneaking out yourself to mess around, you even dragged the Commander along to such a dangerous place—" As Daiyan poured out her well-meaning advice, Jiangyu sat meekly for once and quietly listened. "I get it, Sis..." Jiangyu lowered her head, but she snuck a look at me with blinking eyes. It was obvious that there would be a next time, if it were possible at all. If it's just a casual outing, I'm confident in my ability to keep the two of us safe. I gave Jiangyu a look in return that conveyed our unspoken agreement.“长官！要不要和我一起出去玩？！” 绛雨偷跑出去玩已经不止是一两次了，往常，她都是趁黛烟外出执行任务的时候独自出行，我对此也是睁一只眼闭一只眼，而这次，她竟然直接找到了我。 看着我陷入沉思，绛雨在我的身边左右摇晃着。 “黛烟姐要明天才能回来呢！长官你看，黄区这个地方，有个没去过的沙漠诶！我们一起去吧？” “难得的休息日，又没有老姐在身边唠叨，只呆在艾莫号上，太可惜啦！大自然才是最棒的，快和我一起走啦！” 绛雨一边说一边推着我，就这样，我和她一同前往了那个陌生的沙漠。 …… “这就是事情的经过吗？”当天夜里，提前完成任务回到艾莫号的黛烟，就这样抓到了刚回来的绛雨和我。 虽然黛烟现在的说教对象是绛雨，但我却总有种一同被劝导的感觉。 “呃，难得休假一天……而且有我在，不会有什么事的。”这是她们姐妹之间的事情，我原本不该过问，但这次毕竟我也有份，还是向黛烟解释一下比较好。 “长官太过宠她了……没有给长官带来什么麻烦就好。”黛烟对我温柔地笑了笑，便又转向绛雨。 “你自己偷跑出去玩也就算了，居然还拉着长官一起胡闹。而且去的还是那么危险的地方——”黛烟苦口婆心地劝导着绛雨，绛雨也少见地老实了起来，乖乖地听着。 “知道啦，老姐……” 绛雨低下头，却又用余光偷瞄了我一眼，悄悄对我眨了眨眼睛。不用看就知道，如果再有下次，恐怕她还敢这么做。 不过，只是外出游玩的话，我倒是有自信能够保证我们两个的安全。 就像是某种约定一样，我也回给绛雨一个眼神。

Record 8I encountered a strange smell as I entered the lounge. From my many years of experience on the Elmo, it would seem that the odd aroma was caused by a Doll with an incomplete culinary module using the kitchen. "AHHH, not like this!" I only called out for the name of the perpetrator after I heard the panicked yelling out of nowhere— "Jiangyu?" "C-C-Commander?! What're you here for?" At the sound of my voice, Jiangyu immediately emerged from the kitchen, then quickly hid an object in her hand behind her back as if suddenly remembering something. ...I got a sinking feeling. I approached Jiangyu and looked into the kitchen behind her. The realm of pandemonium that I was expecting was nowhere in sight, and the plated food looked edible enough. It would appear that Jiangyu was no killer in the kitchen, she just lacked some experience. But if the food's right here, then what's she hiding in her hand? I leaned over to take a peek at the object, gradually identifying it as my— "I-I'm sorry, Commander! I messed up washing your bed sheets!" She finally handed over the unidentifiable lump in her hands to me, lowering her head in panic. "...What's with you today, going from laundry to cooking?" I leaned down, trying to observe what might be wrong with her. "Do you need to have someone take a look at you?" Compared to the usual Jiangyu, who would sneak out to play and mess about whenever the opportunity appeared, this was such a stark departure that I found it hard to comprehend. "No, no! There's nothing wrong with me, Commander." She hurriedly shook her head, looking at me earnestly. "I just... wanted to reciprocate what you do, Commander. I wanted to do something to cheer you up... It's just... You always indulge my impulses and even play along with me... I know about all of that. So..." She stumbled over her words with a reddened face. Nothing like the endless chatterbox she usually was. "Ah... I see." I nodded, then produced a few tickets to an amusement park I had prepared previously. "What about these then? Should I return them?" "Wow! Commander, I've always wanted to go there!" The moment she spotted the tickets, Jiangyu tossed aside everything that was in her hands. Her brilliant smile soon dimmed, however, as she seemed to remember something. "I didn't get these two tickets just to see that look on your face." I went to pat Jiangyu on the head just like I usually did. "I'd rather see you do what you want to with a smile on your face than see you all reserved. It's okay to mess around a little more, you know." "Commander..." Following that sound, I lowered my head and met Jiangyu's eyes, which were wide and full of happiness.一来到休息区，我就闻到了一种奇怪的味道。 以我在艾莫号多年的生活经验来看，恐怕是哪位料理模式不甚完善的人形使用了厨房，以至于这种怪异的味道飘散得到处都是。 “哇啊啊啊，这下糟了！” 直到我听到了一声不知从何处传来的惊呼声，我才试探着喊出始作俑者的名字—— “绛雨？” “长长长长官？！你怎么来了？” 听到我的声音后，绛雨立刻从厨房冒了出来，随后又像意识到什么一样，赶忙把手中的东西藏到了身后。 ……我有种不祥的预感。 我走近绛雨，看向她的身后，厨房里并不像我想象的那样乌烟瘴气，盘子中的饭菜看上去也是勉强能吃的样子，看起来，绛雨并不是厨房杀手，只是缺乏下厨的经验而已。 不过，既然饭菜在这里，她手里藏的是什么？ 我侧过头去看了一眼，越发觉得绛雨手里的东西眼熟，那似乎是我的—— “对，对不起长官！我好像把你的床单洗坏了！”终于，绛雨忍不住将手里那团无法辨认的东西交给了我，然后有些慌张地低下了头。 “……又是整理床单又是下厨的，你今天怎么了？”我俯身靠近绛雨，想观察一下她到底是哪里出了问题，“要不要去整备室检查一下？” 比起那个四处胡闹，一有机会就偷跑出去玩的绛雨，眼前的绛雨变化大得让我有些难以理解。 “不用！我没有任何故障，长官，”绛雨连忙摇了摇头，认真地看着我，“我只是……只是想回报长官，让长官开心一点……” “就是……那个，长官总是纵容着我，还陪我一起胡闹……我都是知道的。所以……” 她脸红着，说起话来有些磕磕绊绊的，和往常那个一说起话就停不下来的样子完全不同。 “嗯……这样啊，”我点点头，拿出预订好的游乐园入场券，“那这个怎么办？要退掉吗？” “哇，长官，是我一直想去的那家游乐园！” 看到看到入场券的一瞬间，绛雨便扔掉手中的东西跳了起来，随即又像是意识到了什么一样，收敛了自己灿烂的笑容。 “我可不是为了你这副表情，才预订这两张票的。”我像往常一样，摸了摸绛雨的头。 “比起你拘谨的样子，我还是更希望绛雨能够开心地做自己喜欢的事情，所以，再多胡闹一点也没关系的。” “长官……” 我闻声低下头，就看到了绛雨那双满是喜悦的眼睛。
