How To Tame Your Rabbit, Volume 1 野兔驯化手册1

(Even from a great distance, the sound of intense combat can be heard coming from the training room. Curious, I walk toward the source. My piqued interest is immediately affirmed when I hear the faint curses coming within.)（离得老远，就听到训练室里传来了激烈的交战声。我向着声源走去，直到听见隐约的咒骂，我便知道我的好奇心得到了验证。）

??Damn it!可恶！

??Think you can beat me with just that?!这种程度、还、难不倒我！

(Through a porthole in the door, I can see Krolik kick a training bot charging at her to the side before plunging her practice sword into the neck joint of another bot beneath her, the blade's edge chipping on impact.)（透过门上的舷窗，我看着克罗丽科一脚把迎面冲来的训练机器人踹开，紧接着将手中的训练用刀狠狠插入身下另一个机器人的颈部关节中。刀刃应声崩开了一角。）

(Yep, exactly what I can expect from Krolik's combat style. If this keeps going on, Mayling will have to work a double shift again to repair the training bots.)（嗯，很克罗丽科的作战风格，就是再这么下去恐怕美玲又要为维修机器人而加班了。）

(I clear my throat as I open the door—)（我清了清嗓子，打开了门——）

KrolikWho's there?!谁？！

(With a decisive throw, the blade pins the last active training bot against the wall right beside the door with a chilling hum.)（果断的一掷，刀身发出令人胆寒的嗡鸣声，将最后一个仍在活动的机器人钉在门边的墙上。）

(Krolik exhales, stands up, and dusts herself off.)（克罗丽科吐了口气，站直身拍拍衣服。）

KrolikAh, it's you, Commander.啊，指挥官啊。

CommanderExcellent show, as expected of you.精彩。不愧是你。

(Amid my applause, Krolik first smiles pridefully, but then quickly masks it with a nonchalant expression.)（在我的鼓掌声中，克罗丽科先是得意地笑了笑，但很快用满不在乎的神情遮掩了过去。）

KrolikHmph... It's nothing but routine training.哼……日常训练罢了。

KrolikWhat are you doing here?你来这干嘛？

CommanderCan't I come pay you a visit?我就不能来看看你？

KrolikYou—What do you mean by—你——你这是什么意思——

Krolik...Tsk. Forget it. Do whatever you want.……啧，算了，想看就看吧。

CommanderI'm just kidding.开玩笑的。

CommanderI came to the training room to brush up on my CQC skills. Care to be my coach, since you're already here?我打算磨炼一下我的近战技术，所以来训练室走走。正巧你在，不如就请你来做我的导师吧，如何？

KrolikYou? CQC? What gives? I remember you were pretty good at it already.你？磨炼近战技术？有什么必要？我记得你的身手还不错吧？

KrolikHmph... Plus, what you should be doing is stay safe in the rear, do your commanding things, and let me handle the fighting part. Is there even a need to train in hand-to-hand combat?哼……而且，危险的事交给我，你乖乖待在后方，好好指挥不就行了？用得着锻炼吗？

CommanderBeing good at it gives me more options. Contamination zones are full of surprises, so I can't always rely on you girls.熟能生巧嘛，污染区里那么多突发情况，我也不能总依赖你们。

CommanderBesides, weren't you the biggest proponent of "melee attacks are more effective than ranged ones"? I'm curious as to how you can utilize it so potently in combat, and I thought I might pick up a few tips and tricks from you. If you don't want to...况且，你不是常觉得“近战比远程更有效”吗？我也很好奇，你究竟是怎么做到让近战攻击如此具有威力的。本想着应该能从你这学到些有意思的技巧，如果你不愿意的话……

Krolik...Tsk.……啧。

(She reluctantly walks to the nearby weapon rack and picks up two practice blades. After hesitating for a moment, she tosses one to me.)（她有些不情愿地走向一边的武器架，拿起两把训练用刀，犹豫了一会儿，将其中一把丢给我。）

KrolikSure... I can certainly teach you a move or two.教教你……也不是不行。

(Although her tone is tinged with impatience, I notice a glimpse of happiness on her face as she rapidly turns her head away.)（尽管她的口气里透着不耐烦，我还是从她迅速转开的脸上，捕捉到了一丝开心的神情。）

(I smile as I lower my body and get into position.)（我微笑，压低身子摆好架势。）

(Bam!)（啪！）

(In the blink of an eye, Krolik closes in on me at an incredible speed. I barely manage to raise my practice sword to block before the blades clash with a metallic screech—despite being made of wood.)（伴随着瞬间的火光，克罗丽科以难以置信的速度逼至我面前。我堪堪举起刀格挡，短兵相接，明明只是木质材料，却发出近似金属碰撞的尖鸣。）

(Before I can fully recover, the next strike is already bearing down on me. I duck under her horizontal slash, then seize the opportunity to strike her abdomen with the pommel of my sword—)（还没完全恢复过来，下一击便不期而至。我猫腰躲过了她的横砍，趁机瞄准她的腹部，用刀柄用力一击——）

KrolikUgh!唔！

Krolik...Hmph. It's not over yet!……哼，还没完呢！

(Clearly, her competitive spirit is ignited, and her attacks grow even more ferocious. I concentrate on blocking her strikes as I try to observe her techniques and find an opening.)（很明显，她的胜负欲被点燃了，攻势越发凌厉起来。我努力招架，一边观察她的进攻手段，试图学习并寻找突破口。）

(But her movements are exceedingly swift, and her attack patterns often defy my predictions, like she cares not for her own safety and seeks only victory... My breathing gradually becomes labored.)（但她的动作过于迅速，且行动轨迹时常出乎我的意料，仿佛毫不在意自身的安危，只为取得胜利……我的喘息逐渐加重。）

CommanderUhh, hold on—That cleave just then—how did you do it?呃，等等——刚刚那个劈砍——是怎么做到的？

KrolikHah?啊？

KrolikYou mean, simply looking carefully for where the opponent is and striking where they are?看清对手在哪，对准砍下去不就行了？

CommanderOw—Then what about this one now?嘶——那现在这招？

(Within the span of a single breath, Krolik breaks through my guard. The back edge of her blade strikes my wrist with such force that I nearly lose grip on my weapon.)（一句话的功夫，克罗丽科便突破了我的防守，刀背狠狠敲在我的手腕上，震得我差点握不住武器。）

(I recoil briefly before regaining my footing and come to a halt.)（我踉跄了一下，站稳脚跟，停了下来。）

KrolikYeah. First do this, then do that, it's nothing difficult.啊，先这样再这样，没什么难的吧？

(Krolik's blade whistles in the wind as she skillfully manipulates her weapon. I attempt to imitate her movements but fail to grasp the technique behind it.)（看着克罗丽科将刀舞得生风，我试图模仿，却似乎不得要领。）

(Krolik raises an eyebrow, seemingly unable to bear watching any longer, and steps up behind me.)（克罗丽科挑眉，终于看不下去似的走到我身后。）

KrolikTsk. Not like this...啧，不是这样……

KrolikWatch carefully. I'll only do it once!看好了，我只教一遍！

(Suddenly, she takes hold of my sword hand from behind, resting her other hand on my shoulder. She stands so close that I can feel her every movement.)（突然，我执刀的手被她从身后握住，另一边的肩头也被她搭上。她贴得很近，我能感受到她身体的一举一动。）

(She guides me with her wrist through deftly twisting motions, then suddenly pulls me into a spin—)（她引导着我，手腕翻飞扭过刀身，接着突然抱着我一个旋转——）

(As if cleaving through the air, the blade's tip is driven forward in one fluid motion—)（仿佛破开空气一般，刀尖被顺势送向前方，倏地一用力——）

(Had an enemy been standing before me, this move would have slipped past their attack and struck their hand holding the weapon.)（如果我的对面有敌人，这一步想必正好躲过了对方的进攻，刺中持械的手了。）

KrolikSee, it's not that difficult.说了吧，没什么难的。

CommanderIndeed... Seems like speed is the key.确实……看起来快是关键。

CommanderI think I got the gist.我大概理解了。

(I turn my head and smile in acknowledgment, only to meet Krolik's gaze a few centimeters away. Her eyes widen, and she abruptly releases her hold on me and backs off several steps.)（我扭过头，微笑示意，却正迎上克罗丽科的目光。相隔不过咫尺，克罗丽科瞪大了眼睛，突然猛地松开了手，往后退了几步。）

(The warmth behind my back quickly dissipates.)（我的身后立刻凉了下来。）

KrolikA-as long as you get it!——你、你懂了就好！

CommanderAs expected, only a true professional will teach you the real tricks.果然，还是得找专业人士指导，才能学到更多啊。

KrolikAhem... Hmph. Of course.咳……哼，当然。

KrolikIf there's anything you need help with in the future, just—j-just don't come bothering me!有什么不懂的，以后也——也、也少来烦我！

KrolikInstructing is such a hassle...指导什么的烦死了……

CommanderHuh? But I haven't learned that much yet.啊？可是我还没学会多少呢。

CommanderA good mentor shouldn't give up on their apprentice this easily, right?一个好导师，不会轻易放弃自己的学生吧？

CommanderIt's not like I can easily find a replacement for a melee specialist like you. Without your help, I...尤其是像你这样专攻近战的专业人士，可不是那么容易能找到替代者的。要是没有你……

(I let silence close my sentence and glance at Krolik. The moment she catches my gaze, she quickly looks away, twitching as if shocked by a short circuit.)（我没有继续说下去，瞄了一眼克罗丽科。注意到我的目光，她仿佛触电般赶紧挪开了视线。）

KrolikHmph... FINE.哼……知道了。

KrolikOccasional practice would be okay, BUT—it'll be with you and you only! Got it?偶尔陪练可以，但——只有你！懂吗？

KrolikDon't expect me to become everyone's coach...别指望我成为全车人的陪练……

CommanderThen I'll be counting on you, Krolik.好，以后就拜托你了。

How To Tame Your Rabbit, Volume 2 野兔驯化手册2

(Krolik's voice can be faintly heard from the refitting room.)（整备室中隐约传出克罗丽科的声音。）

Krolik...Tsk! I've got to teach them a lesson!……啧！一定要给那帮家伙好看！

(Bam!)（砰！）

(The sound of a fist slamming against the table echoes through the hallway, making me quicken my pace.)（拳头砸桌子的声音在走廊上回荡，我加快了脚步。）

MaylingP-please calm down, Krolik... Your frame's already damaged... L-let's not damage it any further, okay?冷、冷静一下……你的素体已经受损，还是……不要继续增加损耗，比、比较好吧？

(I push the door open, interrupting Krolik just as she's about to refute Mayling.)（我推开门，克罗丽科的话音被打断。）

(With traces of frustration still lingering on her face, Krolik grits her teeth and turns her head away the moment our gazes meet.)（她脸上还带着几分忿忿的表情，见我看向她，她立刻咬了咬牙，撇过头去。）

CommanderHow's the situation?怎么样？

MaylingAh, Commander... I'm still running the diagnostic on Krolik's frame, I'll send you the full report later!啊，指挥官……我还在帮克罗丽科检修素体，维修报告稍后会交给您的！

MaylingEven though the injuries look quite extensive, none of them are that severe. The most significant wound is located on the right arm where some of the internal wiring got exposed. I-I'll go get the repair materials from the storeroom!这次的受损面积虽然比较大，但都不是很严重。最严重的一处在右侧手臂上，内部线路有一部分暴露，我、我需要去仓库拿一下修补的材料！

MaylingJust hold on a second, I'll be right back!等我一下哦，马上就回来！

(Mayling hastily departs, leaving only Krolik and me in the room, letting silence fill the room.)（美玲急急忙忙地离开了，留下我和克罗丽科，和满室的沉默。）

(It was supposed to be a regular supply delivery. Since the Varjagers in the area had been driven out in a prior mission, I felt comfortable entrusting the task to Krolik alone...)（本来只是一次普通的物资运送，之前已经肃清过周边的瓦良格帮，于是我便放心只让克罗丽科一人执行……）

(I shouldn't have let my guard down; I should've known those thick-headed scoundrels who never learn their lessons would come crawling back.)（不该掉以轻心的。早该预料到他们会卷土重来。这些永远吃不够教训的家伙。）

(I step forward and hold Krolik's right hand, attempting to check on the wound on her arm. She winces in pain and pulls back slightly.)（我往前一步，握住克罗丽科的右手，想检查一下手臂上的损伤。克罗丽科仿佛吃痛般，有些瑟缩。）

(I take a deep sigh and let go of her hand.)（我叹了口气，稍微松了手。）

(She remains idle.)（她不动了。）

Krolik...Oi. I'll cover the extra repair bill.……喂，额外的修理费，我会出的。

CommanderNo, that's not the point... You made it out safely and the supplies are fine, and that's what matters to me.不是因为这个……也没什么额外不额外的，人和物资都安全就行。

CommanderBesides, it's not like I don't know how little savings you have. I'd prefer you not to spend them on repair bills.况且，你那点积蓄我还不知道有多少吗，出修理费什么的还是算了吧。

(Krolik's head droops further.)（克罗丽科头更低了。）

Krolik...It's my fault. I'll own up to it.……我的错，我自己会负责。

(I let out another sigh and reach out, resting my hand over hers, gently holding her trembling palm to soothe it.)（我又叹了口气，伸手拂上她的手背，将她的手裹在其中，试图平定她掌心不安的颤抖。）

CommanderNobody's saying you're to blame... You don't have to shoulder all the responsibility.这里没有人会说是你的错……你不必把责任都揽到自己身上。

CommanderRemember, you're not alone anymore. We're here with you. Whatever the losses, we will bear them together.而且，你现在已经有了同伴，不是一个人了。就算有损失，大家也会一起承担的。

KrolikHmph. You say that... but then you go off alone and overwork yourself trying to handle everything in secret!哼，你也就嘴上这么说……之后肯定又是一个人偷偷加班，想办法搞定！

KrolikDon't think that I don't know!别以为我不知道！

(Hearing the lingering irritation in Krolik's tone, I can't help but feel amused as I shake my head.)（听着克罗丽科语气里仍未消散的怒气，我突然觉得有些好笑，摇了摇头。）

Commander(Sigh) ...Looks like we're both the stubborn type.哈……看来我们俩都是顽固的人啊。

(Krolik finally glances at me after catching the amusement in my tone. She looks somewhat surprised yet also relieved.)（听见我语气里的莞尔，克罗丽科总算扭回头瞟了我一眼，似乎有些诧异，但神情终于也放松了一些。）

(The brief moment of silence now feels a lot less tense.)（短暂的沉默似乎也显得不那么焦灼了。）

(I feel a slight tug on my hand. Krolik is gently grasping it.)（手心传来一点骚动，是克罗丽科轻轻反握住了我的手。）

KrolikTsk... Fine.咳……算了。

KrolikI promise you, I won't go after those Varjagers for some sort of revenge. Alright?!我保证，不会随便冲去找那些家伙报仇，行吧！

KrolikBUT, in return... You have to stop overworking yourself in secret! Just tell me when you need any help! You got that?!但相对的——你，不准一个人偷偷加班！要人帮忙的时候，一定要喊上我！懂不懂？

KrolikTsk. D-don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to dodge responsibility! Just think of this as paying back what I owe you!啧、别误会，我才不是逃避责任的人！帮帮忙，就当弥补了！

(She keeps her head turned away while saying that.)（她的头仍旧撇向一边，没有看向我。）

(I'm unable to see her expression, but maybe she also doesn't notice her fingers nervously digging at the palm of my hand; it's ticklish.)（我看不清她的神情，但也许她自己也没有意识到，她的手指正在紧张地抠着我的掌心，痒痒的。）

(I can't help but pat her hand and nod gently.)（我忍不住按住她的手，点点头。）

CommanderOkay, then. That makes the two of us.好，这样我们就都不是一个人了。

(Krolik hesitates briefly and gazes at the hand I'm holding before looking back at me with a perplexed expression.)（克罗丽科一愣，看向被我握住的手，又瞟了我一眼，神情有些复杂。）

KrolikTsk... Can't believe we're letting those Varjagers off the hook!啧……真不想就这么放走那帮家伙！

KrolikThey were giving you—Ahem, I mean, everyone a hard time. Ugh!都怪他们让你——咳、让、让大家都不好过，嘁！

(She clears her throat repeatedly while her grip around my hand tightens. I chuckle in response.)（她咳嗽了几声，握着我手的力道也加重了几分。我笑了笑。）

CommanderHuh? Who said we're letting them off the hook?嗯？谁说我要放他们一马了？

Krolik...Hah?……啊？

CommanderI was just about to ask for your intelligence on them so we can plan a counter-attack.我正准备拜托你提供点情报，我们好一起制定反击的计划呢。

CommanderAfter all, who could be more knowledgeable about their latest movements than the one who last engaged them?毕竟，最后和那帮人交战、最了解他们现在动向的，不是你吗？

(Krolik's ears perk right up as she finally looks me in the eyes. She lets go of my hand and rests her hands on her hips and smiles contentedly.)（克罗丽科立起耳朵，终于抬起头看向了我。她松开我的手叉起腰，满意地笑了笑。）

KrolikHmph, just what I had in mind!哼，正合我意！

KrolikJust you wait, we'll make those bastards pay tenfold!等着吧，一定让那帮家伙好看！

How To Tame Your Rabbit, Volume 3 野兔驯化手册3

KrolikAh, here you are... Tsk. Had me looking all over the place.啊，你在这——啧，害我一顿好找。

(I raise my head, and the first things that come into view are the materials Krolik is carrying—threads, fabrics, scissors, needles, and... a half-finished, bunny-ear–looking thing?)（我抬头，首先映入眼帘的是克罗丽科手里的一堆工具，毛线、布条、剪刀、针……还有一个歪歪扭扭，看起来编织了一半还未完工的……兔耳？）

CommanderLooking for me? What's the matter?找我吗，怎么了？

CommanderHuh, when did you pick up sewing as a hobby?你什么时候开始对针线活感兴趣了？

KrolikTsk. It's not like that!啧，才没有！

(She plops down right next to me and dumps all the materials onto the table. The half-finished bunny ear droops dejectedly, somewhat reminiscent of the one on her head.)（她一屁股在我身旁坐下，一堆材料摊开在桌上。半成品兔耳歪得垂头丧气的，倒是和现在她头上的有些像。）

KrolikI-it's Helena... She wanted a pair of bunny ears just like mine... Tsk.是、是海伦娜，她想要一个我这样的兔耳，啧……

KrolikI wasn't going to bother at first, but Nemesis—she actually had the nerve to say that I was as clumsy as an elephant?! Hah? Seriously?!本来懒得理，但纳美西丝——那家伙竟敢说我——说我手指头笨得像大象！哈？怎么可能！

CommanderOh, I see.... So you were looking for me to...?这样啊……那你来找我是？

(Still gritting her teeth moments ago, Krolik suddenly deflates. She snatches a piece of fabric irritably and kneads it restlessly in her hand.)（刚才还咬牙切齿的克罗丽科，突然就泄了气。她有些烦躁地揪过布条，在手中蹂躏。）

KrolikAhem. It's only natural that even I have to face hurdles sometimes, nothing strange about it!咳、就算是我，偶尔遇到点困难，也不奇怪吧！

KrolikWho could have known that making a damn bunny ear would be THIS difficult!谁知道这么个破兔耳朵做起来那么——麻烦！

KrolikSo, if—and I mean if—you're willing to help...但要是你、你愿意、愿意——

CommanderThat would make things a lot easier, right?愿意帮忙一起做的话，就简单多了？

(No wonder she was nowhere to be found in the public area except during sorties these past few days. Even when I did see her, she was always frowning and distracted. It turns out she's been trying to figure out how to make these bunny ears.)（怪不得这两天除了必要的出勤，她似乎就不怎么出现在公共区域了。每次碰见她，眉头总是皱成一团，打招呼也有些心不在焉。原来是在烦恼要怎么做兔耳啊。）

Krolik...Hmph. That's right.……哼，没错！

KrolikAlso, don't tell anyone about this, no matter whether you decide to help or not!对了，不准说出去！你帮不帮都别说！

CommanderAlright, I'll help. And I promise I won't spill a single word.好好好，我帮，我帮就是了，绝对不说。

(The scene unfolding before my eyes is almost comical. Krolik is desperately trying to sew the strip of fabric onto the metallic frame bit by bit as she holds a needle in one hand and the crooked bunny ears in the other.)（眼前的场景略显得有些滑稽。克罗丽科一手拿着针线，一手拿着半截骨架歪歪扭扭的兔耳，咬牙切齿地试图把布条一点点缝上去。）

(Sitting beside her, I watch as the needle moves in and out of the fabric. Every now and then, I catch her attention wander to my face before swiftly returning to the task at hand.)（我凑在她身旁，和她一起看着下针的地方。时不时地，我能感觉到她的目光会从手上飘到我脸上，但很快就回去了。）

CommanderYes. Now, slowly bring the fabric closer...对，就是现在，慢慢把布靠上去……

CommanderAccording to the manual, the needle should come through here... Tch, it's alright if it's a little off. Just get it right on the next—图纸上说要从这里出针——嘶，没事，歪点就歪点，下一针拉紧就行……

CommanderHey, that's too close. The fabric will get all crumpled up... No, that's too loose—唔，太紧了，布会皱起来的……不对，又太松了——

KrolikAhh! Damn it!啊啊烦死了！

(She makes to smash the object at hand against the table with full force, but stops at the last moment. At least the already crooked bunny ears won't take further damage.)（她把手中的东西往桌上狠狠一摔，但在接触桌面的一瞬间又收了力道，好歹没让歪歪扭扭的兔耳更加变形。）

(I can't help but chuckle as I gently rub her shoulder, trying to soothe her.)（我不禁失笑，轻抚她的肩头，试图平息她的烦躁。）

CommanderRelax, that's how handicrafts are. You can't rush them.放宽心，做手工就是这样的，急不来。

CommanderJust take a breath and calm down a little. We have plenty of time, let's take it step by step.轻松些，平静下来，我们有的是时间，慢慢做就是了。

(As I speak, I can feel Krolik's frame tense up even more, as if deliberately avoiding contact with me.)（这么说着，我却感觉克罗丽科的素体变得更加紧绷，似乎有些刻意地避开了和我的触碰。）

Krolik...You're just adding fuel to the fire.……你这样，只会火上浇油啊。

CommanderIs that so...?这样吗……

CommanderSay, how about I give you a demonstration instead?那要不，我演示一遍给你看吧？

CommanderJust like how you taught me swordsmanship before—a hands-on demonstration is always the best way to teach things.就像你之前教我刀法一样，上手演示一遍，应该很快就懂了。

(I gently tap her shoulder to get her attention, then pick up the bunny ears and the needle to continue sewing where she had left off.)（我轻轻拍了拍她的肩头，让她看向我，然后拿起那截兔耳和针线，开始接着她之前的针脚缝起来——）

CommanderOuch!嘶！

KrolikWhat's wrong? Did you prick yourself?怎么了！扎到了？

(She immediately grabs my hand and brings it close to her eyes. A small, bright red droplet gradually swells up on my fingertip.)（她立刻夺过我的手凑近看，一颗殷红的小血珠倒映在她眼中，正在指尖上逐渐胀大。）

(Without a moment's hesitation, she snatches a piece of fabric, presses it against the puncture, and hastily starts bandaging my wound.)（没有犹豫，她一把扯过布条，紧紧地按住伤口，开始迅速缠绕起来。）

KrolikTsk. Does it hurt?啧——痛不痛？

CommanderI'm fine. What are you—还好，等——

KrolikI'll go get Colphne once I'm done bandaging—我马上就包扎好，去叫寇尔芙来——

CommanderWait—等等——

(Krolik springs up, ready to dash out the door. I quickly grab her arm, my "injured" fingertip pressing against her wrist.)（克罗丽科站起身，就要往门外冲去。我赶紧伸手抓住她，受伤的指尖压在了她的手腕上。）

(She finally looks back. When she sees my hand, she squats down in a rush, and holds it tightly.)（她终于回头，看见我的手，又连忙蹲下紧紧握住。）

KrolikHey! What are you—喂！你在干——

CommanderI told you, calm down.都说了，别着急。

CommanderThere's no need to worry about such a small puncture. The wound will probably be all gone by the time you get Colphne over.这么点小伤不用这么紧张。等你把寇尔芙叫来，估计都愈合了吧？

(The frown lingers on her face, but it seems the realization has sunk in. Awkwardly, she returns to her seat beside me.)（她的眉头依然皱着，但似乎已经反应过来，有些别扭地坐回了我身边。）

CommanderSorry for staining your fabric. Looks like we won't be sewing the bunny ears further today.抱歉，弄脏了你的布条。看起来今天这兔耳是缝不成了。

KrolikHow can the bunny ears be more important than stopping your bleeding?缝兔耳哪有止血重要啊！

CommanderIt's just a scratch. I'm fine, really.小伤，小伤，别在意。

CommanderSpeaking of which, why did you come to me for help? Wouldn't Colphne and Centaureissi be more suited to help you with handicrafts?说起来，你怎么想到找我帮忙的？寇尔芙、桑朵莱希，她们不是更擅长手工吗？

KrolikThey're... ahem... busy.咳……她们忙。

CommanderAm I not?我就不忙了？

(Caught off guard by my words, Krolik clenches her teeth and reluctantly glances my way. Her grip on my hand also grows tighter.)（被我的话呛住，克罗丽科咬咬牙，有些不情愿地看向我，握着我手的力道似乎也加重了一些。）

KrolikBecause they're not the same...你和她们，能一样吗？

Krolik...And it's not like I trust anyone else other than you...……而且别人，我信不过。

KrolikIf you think it's a hassle... I can just do it myself—要是你觉得烦——啧，大不了我自己——

CommanderSo, what you're saying is that I come off as someone trustworthy and reliable to you.这么说，我在克罗丽科心里，是很值得信任的人咯？

KrolikYou!你！

Krolik—Tsk. You already know the answer... What's with that smug smile on your face?! Don't get ahead of yourself!——啧，明知故问……你那是什么表情，别太得意了！

CommanderNo, I'm just glad to have earned your trust.没有，只是能得到你的信任，觉得有点开心罢了。

Krolik...For real?……真的？

KrolikIf I catch you lying to my face, I'll—Ahem, if even you... Anyway, don't you dare try to fool me!要是撒谎，我可——咳、要是连你也——总之不准骗我！

KrolikI don't care if others lie to me, but you? Absolutely no way!别人也就算了，你、绝对不行！

CommanderHow can I lie to you? It's only natural for me to reciprocate your trust in me, right?怎么会呢，既然你相信我，我自然要回应你的信任，对吧？

CommanderComing to me for help is never a hassle, so feel free to ask for help whenever you need.帮助你我不觉得是麻烦，所以你有需要，可以随时找我的。

(Krolik freezes for a moment, her face blushing furiously. Suddenly, she stands up, breaks free from my grip, and gathers up all the materials from the table.)（克罗丽科愣了一会，脸上红一阵白一阵，突然站起身，挣脱我的手。她匆匆把桌上的材料都拢在一起，抱在怀里。）

KrolikHmph, you—You better be true to your words!哼，你——最好说到做到！

KrolikAfter pressing it for so long, your wound should've stopped bleeding by now!按了这么久，你的血应该也止住了吧！

KrolikSince we can't finish the bunny ears today, I-I'll come back another day!今天兔耳也做不了了，我——下次再来！

KrolikJust you wait—I'll keep pestering you until it's done! You promised me yourself!你等着——在它做好之前，我可是会一直来烦你的！这是你自己答应我的！

(She scurries off after leaving those words behind, the half-finished bunny ears in her arms swaying with each step.)（撂下这句话，她急急忙忙跑开了。怀中露出的半截兔耳随着步伐晃动。）

(I think to myself with a smile that I should keep some band-aids on me from now on.)（该随身备点创可贴了。我笑着想。）

How To Tame Your Rabbit, Volume 4 野兔驯化手册4

CommanderUgh, why does it have to be at a time like this...啧，怎么偏偏这个时候需要……

(With Groza already on a mission and Mayling busy with maintenance, Krolik is the only one around that's unoccupied. Bored out of her mind, she leans against the door and occasionally throws me a glance.)（今天闪电出任务了，车上美玲还在忙，只有克罗丽科看起来似乎闲着，倚在门口百无聊赖，时不时地看我一眼。）

(There's no other way... Let's ask her.)（没办法……问问吧。）

CommanderKrolik.克罗丽科。

KrolikHuh? Hah?啊、啊？

CommanderI have ehm... some documents here that need organizing. Since the others aren't around... can you lend me a hand?我这里……有些资料需要整理一下，但其他人不在……你能帮帮我吗？

(Sorting through files is usually a task at odds with Krolik's quick temper, but—)（整理任务资料这种事，并不太符合克罗丽科一贯的急性子，但——）

Krolik...Sure.……好。

(To my surprise, there aren't any of the usual complaints, and not even a hint of dissatisfaction either. Krolik simply walks to another work desk and begins organizing the files.)（出乎我意料，没有往常的抱怨，甚至一点不满的语气都没有。克罗丽科安静地走到另一个工作台前，开始整理文件。）

(I quietly breathe a sigh of relief.)（我暗暗地松了口气。）

(A while later.)（过了一阵。）

CommanderSorry, Krolik... Could you please get me some more tea? I'm kind of tied up with...抱歉克罗丽科……能麻烦你帮我添点茶吗？我这边实在有点……

Krolik...Okay.……好。

(Krolik nods, then steps in to gently pick up the teacup before quietly leaving the ops room. Her brows are knitted more tightly than usual.)（克罗丽科点点头，走到我身边轻轻地捧起茶杯，安静地离开了指挥室。她的眉头皱得比往常更紧。）

Commander...Hmm?……嗯？

(By the time she returns to the ops room, the strange gut feeling I had has grown even stronger.)（等她回到指挥室，轻轻放下茶杯，我心里异样的感觉更明显了。）

(I decide to put it to the test.)（我决定测试一下。）

CommanderKrolik. Can I...克罗丽科，我能……

Commander...Touch your bunny ears?摸摸你的兔耳吗？

(Clearly taken aback by my words, Krolik stares at me with wide eyes. Her brows furrow so tightly it seems like they're about to tie into a knot.)（克罗丽科显然没想到我这么说，瞪大了眼睛，眉头简直要搅在一起。）

(There it is. She's about to get cranky, as usual...)（啊，她一定要像往常那样开始发怒了——）

Krolik...Sure.……好。

(...Even THIS is all right?)（……这样也可以？）

(Beneath my hand is the hard, sleek texture of her mechanical ears. I still find it hard to believe that Krolik would allow me to touch them as I pleased, while she keeps her eyes closed and her head lowered, with her face flushing red.)（手下是兔耳坚硬而光滑的触感，我还是有些难以置信。克罗丽科闭着眼睛低着头，任由我抚摸着她的兔耳，脸上红一阵白一阵。）

CommanderHmm, Krolik...?那个，克罗丽科……

CommanderIs there like... something you want me to do?你是不是……有什么事需要我帮忙？

KrolikHah—Ahem... I mean, no.哈——咳咳……没有。

CommanderThen... why are you acting all courteous all of a sudden?那你为什么突然……这么客气啊？

(Upon hearing that, Krolik's eyes widen and she slowly raises her head. Her fists clench, and her entire body trembles as if about to explode.)（闻言，克罗丽科终于睁开眼，缓缓抬起头。她的手紧紧地攥成拳头，整个身子颤抖着，似乎马上就要爆发了。）

KrolikW-weren't you... complaining that I'm too temperamental?还、还不是……你嫌弃我脾气爆……

CommanderMe?我有吗？

KrolikTsk... You don't have to deny it.啧……你不用隐瞒。

CommanderBut I truly haven't—I never said that.可是我真的没有啊，我从没这么说过。

(Silence takes over the ops room for a moment...)（指挥室沉寂了一会……）

(And then, a loud roar erupts.)（然后响起一阵怒号。）

KrolikAHHH—! I knew it—!啊啊——！我就知道——！

KrolikIt's Colphne... It's got to be her...!是寇尔芙……一定是她……！

ColphneOh-ho~! You've been paying plenty of attention to the Commander recently, haven't you, Krolik~?哟哟~最近克罗丽科，似乎很关注指挥官哦~

KrolikHah? What are you talking about?!哈？说什么呢你！

KrolikIt's called caring! Tsk—Just like I do with everyone else!这叫关心！啧——和其他人一样！

ColphneMy, my~ Is that so~? Just saying, but that's not how you get the Commander's attention, you know~?哎呀呀~真的吗？想得到指挥官注意的话，这样可是行不通的哦~

ColphneIf—Ahem! If you weren't so temperamental, then maybe—just saying, maybe—the Commander would like you more~如果——咳咳！脾气不那么暴躁的话，说不定指挥官会更喜欢？我是说——如果啦~

CommanderSo all of this is because of one of Colphne's throwaway jokes?所以是因为寇尔芙的玩笑？

CommanderPhew... Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious.呼……幸好没什么大事。

CommanderYou've been so polite all day that it made me paranoid. Honestly, I'm far more comfortable with your usual bluntness and honesty.你客气了一天，我都要开始担惊受怕了。还是这样直接说话的克罗丽科，我更习惯、也更喜欢一点啊。

KrolikExactly! I put up with it all day, I'm so done with this... I'm going to—就是！忍了一天了，可恶……我一定要——

(Seemingly realizing something, her angered shouts vanish instantly, replaced by a suspicious look directed at me.)（她似乎意识到了什么，怒吼戛然而止，有些狐疑地看着我。）

KrolikHah? Hold on. Do you... r-really like m-my temperament?哈？等等。你真的……喜、喜欢我——的脾气？

CommanderDo I like your temperament? Hmm...喜欢你——的脾气吗？唔……

CommanderHonestly, I don't really care if you're grumpy or courteous; I'll gladly accept either, because I know you truly have my best interests at heart, no matter what you say, right?其实无论你是暴躁还是客气，我都能接受的。因为无论你嘴上怎么说，心里都是为我好的吧？

CommanderBut if I had to choose, I still prefer the Krolik who's true to herself—the one who's more lively and interesting...但硬要说的话，我还是喜欢原本做自己的克罗丽科啊，更生动，更有意思一些……

(As I continue, I watch Krolik quietly take in my words. Her fists clench then relax, and the growing blush on her cheeks stirs a mischievous urge in me to tease her a little more.)（我一边说，一边看克罗丽科默默听着，手上的拳头攥了又攥，脸上的红晕愈发明显，让人忍不住想进一步逗弄一下。）

Commander...Besides, even if I couldn't stand your short temper, all I have to do is ask you nicely and you'll behave like earlier, right?……况且，就算我真的偶尔受不了了——这不是随口一说，你就愿意改了嘛？

KrolikTsk. It's only because I thought you—啧，还不是因为是你的评价！我才会这么——

CommanderOh, so it's because of me that you care this much?哦，原来是因为我，才这么在意吗？

CommanderI didn't expect to be of such importance in your heart.想不到，我在你心里这么重要啊。

(Unable to contain my grin anymore, I watch as Krolik stares at me, arms crossed, her face flushed, and also scrunched up with embarrassment.)（我的笑再也藏不住了。克罗丽科瞪着我，手用力抱在胸前，红红的脸皱成一团。）

KrolikAhhh—! Yeah, that's right!啊——！对！就是这样！

KrolikI gave you all this time to figure it out, and yet I still have to spell it out for you in the end! You're—Tsk! Never mind!过了这么久还没看出来，非得我自己说！你真是——啧，算了！

(Krolik is all puffed up and her bunny ears are spread wide, looking just like a real angry rabbit.)（克罗丽科气鼓鼓的，兔耳向两边分开，像极了急了眼的兔子。）

(Amused, I stand up and walk up to her, gently lowering her tightly crossed arms. Though visibly flustered, she doesn't resist and lets me hold her hand just like that.)（我忍俊不禁，站起身走到她面前，将她抱在胸前的手轻轻拉下。虽然气急了，她却没有任何反抗的意思，任由我就这么牵着她的手。）

(I give her palm a little squeeze—silently expressing my apology—then turn to look at her averted face.)（我捏了捏她的掌心，无声地表达歉意，又侧过头去看她撇过一边的脸。）

(She, too, shifts her gaze back to me, her anger now subsiding. Slowly, the corners of her lips lift ever so slightly... before quickly drooping again. Still, I can feel her hand wrap around mine and its grip growing tighter and warmer.)她终于把目光重新放到我身上，气也消了下去。缓缓地，她的嘴角也扬起了一点弧度……但很快又撇了下去。手上却传来被紧紧反握住的感觉，暖暖的。

KrolikHmph. You better be true to your words... I'll always remember that.哼，说到做到……我会一直记得的。

KrolikN-no walking back on your promises! You got that?!你，不准耍赖！懂吗！

Covenant 铭契

KrolikTsk. Just because I'm not saying it out loud doesn't mean I don't have any thoughts!啧，我不说，不代表我没想法！

Krolik...Ahem. Anyway, it was great to have you around. I've never regretted staying by your side.……咳、总之，你待我一直不错，留在你身边，我也从来不后悔。

KrolikJust come to me whenever you have something to handle. Stop leaving me on the sidelines—What? Acting all cute? N-not in a thousand years!以后遇到事了，找我就是，别总是放着我不用——啊？撒娇？做、做梦！

Exchanging Initiative 主动之间

KrolikIs there anywhere you want to go?最近有没有什么想去的地方？

CommanderWhy ask that all of a sudden?怎么突然这么问？

KrolikTsk. You've been working non-stop for a month. You really are a workaholic, huh?啧，连轴转一个月了，真当自己是铁做的？

KrolikTake some time off when you should. You've got to balance work and rest!累了就要放松，劳逸结合！

KrolikI happen to be free these days. Tell me, where do you wanna go? I can accompany you.正好我最近有空，可以陪你走走。说吧，想去哪？

CommanderI can't just come up with an answer on the spot...你一时这么问我也想不出来啊……

KrolikTsk. Then anywhere you feel like. Maybe a walk on the Elmo's top deck?啧，那就随便走走，上车顶平台散步也行！

KrolikOr the training room? I'll show you a few moves!或者去训练室，我陪你过两招！

KrolikWhichever it is—总之——

(Krolik strides forward and grabs me by the arm.)（克罗丽科大步靠近，拽住了我的胳膊。）

Krolik—It's time to get off your ass!起来，别光坐在这了！

CommanderEhh... How about... we go take a gander at your animal ears collection then?哈……那不如……一起去看看你收集的兽耳装饰？

CommanderSpeaking of which, I remember gifting you a pair last time. How come I've never seen you wear them... Do you dislike them?说起来上次送了你一个，怎么从来没见你戴过……是觉得不好看吗？

KrolikHah? No! That's not the case!啊？没有！不是！

KrolikTsk... Let's go with something else.啧……干点别的吧。

Krolik...Why are you staring at me like that?! I told you it's not because I dislike them!……看我干嘛？都说了没有觉得不好看！

Krolik...Tsk. I-I just—It's not that I find them ugly, I just don't know how to wear them properly! They're sitting in my closet all wrapped up. Taking them out will be a hassle!……啧、我只是——不知道怎么戴而已，才不是不喜欢！而且现在包起来收藏在柜子里了，拿出来麻烦死了。

KrolikAhem. Unless... If you're willing to help me put them on, I may consider taking them out... And then you'll have to stop thinking about it all day!咳、除非，你愿意帮我戴，那我就酌情把它找出来吧……省得你整天惦记！

KrolikAlso, I have plenty more besides the one you gifted me. Trying them all on could take an entire day—and it'll be your job to help me with that!还有，除了你送我的那个，我还有好多装饰，试戴个大半天不成问题，都得你——都需要你帮我！

KrolikSo, don't even think about sneaking back to work! You're all mine today!所以别想着溜回来工作！你今天的时间都归我了！

Lobby Group Chat 1 休息室群聊1

KrolikHey, Nemesis, were you listening just now?喂，纳美西丝，你刚才到底有没有在听？

KrolikWhy did you wait so long before shooting?为什么不及时开枪？

KrolikI know it's just training, but we'd have been wiped if it were a real battle!这也就是演习吧，要是实战，我们恐怕就要团灭了！

NemesisThe racing meteor... a worn trail... eventually diverts from the firmament...疾驰的流星……磨损的轨迹……终将偏离星穹……

VepleyHuh? What's wrong? Why are you going all poetic on us again, Nemesis?诶？怎么回事呀，纳美西丝又开始念诗了……？

KrolikJust WHO was being too aggressive just now? And what was that about "almost tripping and falling", huh?!喂，你说谁刚才训练中冲锋得太冒进啊？！什么叫“差点摔倒”？！

VepleyColphne, I thought Nemesis could speak normally again?寇尔芙，纳美西丝不是应该已经能正常沟通了吗？

ColphneAw, it's okay if she does that from time to time, right? We might not get it, but there's someone else who understands her.哎呀，偶尔这样也没关系吧。虽然我们听不懂，但是有人能听懂呀？

ColphneKrolik, could you help enlighten us a little~克罗丽科，能不能帮忙翻译一下，让人家也懂一下~

KrolikDo you take me for her personal translator or something?!谁要给这家伙当翻译器啊！

KrolikOi, can't you speak like a normal human being now, Nemesis?!喂，纳美西丝，你不是能说人话了吗？！

NemesisHehe... The strands of destiny coil... a reflection lost in the self.呵呵……命运的丝线，缠绕……迷失于自身的倒影……

KrolikHaaaaah?! What- what did you just say? So you were really just using that as a way to secretly take shots at me, huh?!哈？！你，你说什么？！所以你真的只是在用这种方式偷偷骂我？！

KrolikOh, pretending to be a saint in front of everyone, are you?!喂，你到底在大家面前装什么好人啊！！

OTs-Alright, that's enough, you two. Be more careful in actual battles so you don't make this mistake again.好了，你们两个，这次的失误，在实战中注意就可以了。

OTs-Or are the two of you saying you need extra individual coaching, hm?还是说，还想要再分别加训两组？

Nemesis...……

KrolikTsk...啧……

VepleyAh, it's OTs-14. You sound just like Leader Groza!啊，是OTs-14，说话语气真的好像闪电队长哦！

ColphneShh— you dork, don't say things like that in front of her!嘘——笨蛋，什么叫“像”啊……这种话可不要乱说哦？

OTs-...……

ColphneSee, Vepley? You made everything weird now.看吧，维普蕾，气氛都变得奇怪了诶~

VepleyBweh... Vepley didn't mean to do it, V-Vepley's sorry about this...呜……维普蕾不是故意的！对、对不起嘛……

VepleyH-hey! Where are you going, Krolik? Wait for Vepley!诶，克罗丽科要去哪里、等等维普蕾！

KrolikHmph! I'm going for extra training, of course!哼，当然是去加训！

GrozaDid the two of you get into a fight again because of tactical differences?你们两个，又是因为战术分歧在吵架吗？

VepleyLeader! You're here! Vepley can't understand what Nemesis is saying again...队长！你来啦，维普蕾又开始听不懂纳美西丝的话了……

GrozaHoho, but that's a good thing in moderation, isn't it?呵呵，偶尔这样说话也不错？

GrozaAfter all, having Krolik translate for her is a way of strengthening their relationship, don't you think?让克罗丽科担当专属翻译，这也是她们关系好的一种方式吧？

KrolikWhat... Who wants to strengthen their relationship with her, anyway?!谁……谁跟这家伙关系好了！

NemesisIf you prefer my previous manner of speaking, I can accommodate you, Leader.队长如果怀念我从前的说话方式，我可以保持。

KrolikHah?! Didn't I just say I didn't want to be your translator?!哈？！都说了我才不想当你的翻译器！

OTs-...I see.……我明白了。

ColphneLooks like the two "Grozas" aren't really that "alike" after all~看来，两位“闪电”也没有那么“像”呢~

GrozaOh? Please don't get the wrong idea.哦？可别会错意了。

GrozaI'm not rejecting OTs-14's suggestion. In order to promote cohesion, Krolik and Nemesis will each undergo an hour of extra training.我并没有否定OTs-14的建议哦。克罗丽科和纳美西丝，因为配合原因，一起加训一小时。

Krolik...……

Nemesis...……

Bunny's Frustrations 兔子的烦恼

KrolikOh, it's you. Perfect timing, I was just wondering—哦，是你啊，正好，我正烦着呢——

KrolikSay, you think I should buy a pair of bunny ears that are upright or a pair that are drooping?你说我是买立着的兔耳装饰好，还是垂着的兔耳装饰好？

The pair that are upright.立着的兔耳装饰。

The pair that are drooping.垂着的兔耳装饰。

KrolikRight... Though I already have a ton of those, bunny ears really got to be upright, eh?嗯……虽然已经有很多了，但果然这种立着耳朵的才更像兔子吧？

KrolikObshares don't count!曜石兔那种不算啦！

KrolikIt's a rarer sight, huh... What? It's less likely to get in the way during combat?更少见一点是吧……什么？比较不会妨碍到战斗？

KrolikHmph, didn't I tell you this before—no accessory I wear will interfere with me in combat.哼，指挥官你是知道的吧，不管戴什么样的装饰，都不会妨碍到我作战。

Decisive Battle 一决胜负

KrolikCommander! In your opinion, which is more important—melee or ranged combat?指挥官！你说说，到底是近战重要还是远程重要啊？

KrolikNemesis keeps arguing with me about it, it's so annoying!纳美西丝一直在跟我抬杠，烦死了！

Melee is more important.近战重要。

Both are important.都重要。

KrolikHey, do you really mean that?喂，你是真心这样认为的吗？

KrolikYou're not just saying that in front of me, right? Hmph... I'm not that easy to fool, you know.该不会只在我面前这么说吧？哼……我可不是这么好糊弄的哦。

KrolikHah? What kind of answer is that?!什么啊，这算什么回答嘛！

KrolikDon't tell me my swordsmanship isn't good enough yet to make you fully acknowledge CQC?难道是我的刀法还没到完全让你一边倒认同近战的程度吗？

KrolikJust wait, one day I'll make you admit that melee really is the strongest, full stop.等着吧，总有一天我要让你心甘情愿地承认，近战才是最强的。

Section 3 第三节

Krolik...These aren't bunny ears! They're important tactical accessories! I told you that already!……这不是兔耳，都说了是必要作战装置！

KrolikTsk, combat is about charging head-on. What's the point of hiding and taking potshots from behind?!嘁，战斗就是要正面冲上去，躲在后面放冷枪算什么？！

Food Tasting 1 美食品尝1

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

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

KrolikHuh? Oh—You want to chat a bit? Sure, why not.嗯？哦哦——要聊两句？那就聊呗。

About the Doll Arena关于角斗场

About Bunny Ears关于兔耳

About Wandering关于流浪

About Weather关于天气

About Training关于训练

About the Future关于未来

CommanderI wonder what your days were like in the Doll Arena, Krolik.克罗丽科在人形角斗场的日子是什么样的？

KrolikWhat else could it be? Just endless fighting and killing.还能怎么样啊？就——整天打打杀杀咯。

KrolikFrankly, I never took a liking to that life of slugging it out with my own kind, so before long, I took my chance and ran away.但其实——我不太喜欢那种感觉，打自己的同类什么的，所以没多久就逃了。

KrolikOh, by the way, our battles now are an entirely different story—what we're fighting for has a purpose. Those gladiatorial games, on the other hand, were held only to entertain humans... I despise that.哦，跟现在的战斗是不一样的，战斗是有意义的，而那种——仅为了供人类取乐而进行的角斗，我很厌恶。

CommanderBesides bunny ears, do you collect other kinds of headpieces?除了兔耳，克罗丽科还会收集其他耳饰吗？

KrolikIt's not just a decorative headpiece—it's an essential combat apparatus! As for your question... Yes I do! Antlers, cat ears, dog ears, all of them... I just buy them whenever I come across one.这不单是耳饰，是必要的作战装置！其他的……会啊！鹿角、猫耳、狗耳之类的……反正看到就买了咯。

CommanderTell me about the cat ears.细说一下猫耳。

KrolikCat ears, well, they're... Wait a second! You already know about them! Why are you asking me then?! Stop laughing—I'm not saying another word!猫耳啊，就是……等等！你不是都知道吗！？还来问我？不许笑——我不说了！

CommanderYou've spent a long time wandering the contamination zones, right, Krolik?克罗丽科在污染区流浪过很长一段时间吧？

KrolikOh, yeah. That's correct. Ever since escaping the arena, I've been active in the contamination zones.哦，对啊，从角斗场逃出来之后，就一直在污染区行动了。

CommanderLife must have been tough, huh?很辛苦吧？

KrolikIt was... manageable. There were plenty of hurdles like not being able to find a charging station. But my combat apparatus can generate some energy—you know, solar power and all that jazz. Thanks to that, I won't just shut down in the middle of nowhere. And honestly, wandering a wasteland was far more liberating than being stuck in the arena—at the very least, I got to choose my own battles.还行吧，的确有很多麻烦，比如经常找不到充电桩之类的，但我的作战装置可以提供能量——就那啥，太阳能转化，所以也不至于走到一半就关机。还有就是，流浪比在角斗场自在多了，我可以自行选择战场。

KrolikOvercast, huh...?今天是阴天啊……

CommanderYou prefer clear skies, Krolik?克罗丽科更喜欢晴天？

KrolikMe? I don't really care about the weather—but if I had to choose, sunny days are definitely a step above the rest.我？无所谓啦，天气什么的——不过硬要让我选的话，确实晴天更好。

KrolikMore sunlight means more energy for me to cut down my foes with.太阳能充足，砍起敌人来也更带劲了。

CommanderAny thoughts on the latest training schedule, Krolik?克罗丽科对最近的训练安排有什么想法吗？

KrolikMy thoughts? It's nowhere near enough—give me more training!想法？想法就是——完全不够，再给我安排更多的训练啊！

CommanderYou seem very eager to become stronger.克罗丽科迫切地想要变强呢。

KrolikOf course! Who doesn't want to grow stronger? With greater power I'll be able to chop down and slice through every last one of the enemies and nuisances standing in our way!开玩笑，谁不想要变得更强啊？变强了的话，不管是敌人也好，讨厌鬼也好，统统、统统——砍光！

CommanderHave you ever thought about what you want to do in the future, once all this is finished?克罗丽科有想过，一切结束后，未来想要做什么吗？

KrolikFinished? What finished? I don't have the time to waste on pondering such things!结束？什么结束？我才没闲工夫想这些呢！

KrolikBesides, what even is "future" anyway? It's not like just thinking about it will magically make it happen or guarantee that I'll do something.再说了，未来是什么啊？我想想，未来就能到来，或者我就能一定做什么事吗？

KrolikI have enough troubles to deal with in the present already! Though... just as a thought—I'm fine with whatever the future holds... as long as you're there with me!我处理现在的事情就已经够麻烦的了！不过、我在想，只是稍微想了那么一下哦——未来不管做什么，如果有你在的话……也、也不是不可以啦！

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。

How To Raise Your Bunny Ⅰ 科学养兔指南·Ⅰ

(Some time ago, the Elmo was tasked with sheltering a rabbit that has undergone anti-radiation gene modification and periodically documenting its behaviors in the contamination zones.)（前阵子接到委托，希望艾莫号帮忙收容一只进行抗辐射基因改造的兔子，并且定期进行污染区环境下的观测报告。）

(We accepted the commission thinking it wouldn't be a big deal, but raising a rabbit turned out to be more troublesome than anyone expected.)（因为难度不高就接受了，但没想到饲养兔子比预期还要麻烦。）

(Fortunately, she's around to help us...)（幸好有她在……）

KrolikThere you are, Commander. Here, hold the rabbit for me. It's been having zoomies all over the place at night like a puppy lately.来了啊，指挥官。给，兔子你抱，最近它一到晚上就到处乱窜，跟狗似的。

KrolikIf you don't bug the rabbit during the day, the rabbit will bug you at night—I get what that means now.白天不熬兔，晚上兔熬你。这话我算明白了。

KrolikHold it steady. It doesn't bite, but it's quite rowdy and surprisingly strong.抱稳了。它不咬人，但闹腾得很，劲儿还大。

(As soon as she meets me, Krolik shoves the red rabbit into my arms.)（一见到我，克罗丽科就将红色的兔子塞进了我怀里。）

(Seeing Krolik's sickened expression, I compliantly calm the rabbit in my arms.)（看着克罗丽科一脸嫌弃的表情，我只好老老实实安抚着怀中的兔子。）

KrolikSpeaking of which, what's even going on in that noggin of yours? Why did you pick me out of all the "little angels" on the Elmo to take care of this animal?说起来，你到底是怎么想的？明明艾莫号上有这么多乖宝宝，偏偏让我照顾这个动物？

KrolikDo I look like someone who's good with pets?我看起来像是会养宠物的人吗？

KrolikAren't you afraid I'll get it killed by accident?你就不怕我把它养死？

CommanderKilled? Looks like it's thriving if anything—its fur is smooth and it's full of energy, maybe even a little too much.养死？我看它现在活得挺好呀，皮毛顺滑，还精力充沛，虽然有点过于充沛了。

(The rabbit squirms restlessly in my arms and emits a low-frequency purr. I gently soothe it with my hand.)（兔子在我怀里不安分地扭动，发出呼噜呼噜的低频颤音。我轻轻用手安抚它。）

CommanderIt definitely feels nice to caress. So you're pretty good at taking care of small animals after all, Krolik.摸着手感还不错，克罗丽科其实很擅长养小动物嘛。

KrolikI-I'm not—I was merely being responsible since you handed me this assignment.谁擅长了，我只是对它负责，你都把任务交给我了。

CommanderThough it's grown so big in such a short time... Have you noticed any signs of mutation?不过，没有多久就这么大了啊……有变异的迹象吗？

KrolikNothing noteworthy at the examinations, no signs of mutations either; it is surely resistant to radiation.检查没有问题，没有引发任何变异征兆，对辐射的抗性可以肯定。

CommanderThen perhaps the fault lies with you, Krolik.那么，或许问题就出在克罗丽科身上了。

KrolikMe? What fault?我？我怎么了？

CommanderI need to inspect your caretaking records, especially the logs on quantity of feeds.我要检查你的饲育记录，特别是饲料量的那个部分。

KrolikDo you really need to? I'm always by the book.有那个必要吗？我都按规定喂的。

KrolikFine, I'll admit I did feed it a little more than instructed, but it's totally its fault—it kept staring at me with those soft eyes when it had nothing to eat!好吧，是稍微多喂了一点。是因为这家伙不好，它没东西吃就用那种软绵绵的眼神看着我！

KrolikI can't let it become malnourished under my care, can I?!我总不能让它在我的手里营养不良吧！

(Instead of being malnourished, it's more it's overnourished going by its weight...)（与其说是营养不良，从沉甸甸的手感来说，应该说是营养过剩吧……）

(This rabbit was genetically modified to increase its survivability in the harsh environment of the contamination zones, and being able to grow faster and stronger than its peers is a trait as important as being resistant to radiation.)（这只兔子经受了基因改造手术，为了在环境恶劣的污染区存活不仅仅要对抗辐射，生长速度和体格也比同类要强。）

CommanderI get it now—You're the type to spoil and pamper others, Krolik.这下我算是知道了，克罗丽科你，算是溺爱的那类型。

KrolikHah? I only fed it a few extra bites! You call this spoiling?哈？只是多喂了它几口而已！这也算溺爱？

KrolikYes it has grown a little fat... b-but I will take responsibility! From now on, I'll strictly supervise its exercise regimen.它好像确实有点胖……我、我会负责的！从今天开始我会严格监督它锻炼。

CommanderNo need to go that far, the client only asked us to document our observations. Since you're its caretaker, feed it however you like—just make sure it survives.也不必做到这样，委托人只是要我们做观测记录而已，既然交给克罗丽科你照顾了，你就随心所欲地饲养吧？——保证存活就可以了。

KrolikCommander!指挥官！

CommanderYes?啊？

KrolikThat won't cut it! Rabbits need exercise too! From the data I've gathered, obesity does affect their expected lifespan.这样可不行！兔子这种生物也是需要运动量的！根据我调取的资料显示，肥胖也会影响它们的预期寿命。

KrolikAnyway, I'll adjust the feeding strategy from now on!总之，之后我会调整饲养策略！

Commander...Indeed, handing the task to Krolik was the right choice.……果然，交给克罗丽科是正确的选择。

How To Raise Your Bunny Ⅱ 科学养兔指南·Ⅱ

KrolikEat, why won't you eat! You're a rabbit!吃啊，你怎么不吃啊！你可是兔子啊！

KrolikRabbits eat carrots—that's what's written in the "Master-Level Pet Care Guide" the underground broker gave me.兔子就该吃胡萝卜，暗商给的《大师级宠物饲养指南》里是这么说的。

KrolikDo you have any idea how expensive vegetables are in the contamination zones? That underground broker dared to charge me an entire Collapse piece for just a quarter kilo of carrots and cabbage!你知道在污染区蔬菜有多贵吗？光这半斤胡萝卜和白菜，暗商就敢收我一根晶体！

Commander...That's indeed extortion. But why? We running out of pet feed?……那真是非常的黑心了，但是标准饲料不够了吗？

KrolikIt's not that. According to the care guide, rabbits still need a small quantity of vegetables outside of standard pet feed.这不是没办法。因为根据饲养指南说，除去饲料，兔子还需要补充一定的植物摄入。

(As I arrive at Krolik's dormitory, she's crouched on the ground, teasing the rabbit with a carrot while the latter's ears droop lazily. Its two dark-red eyes are fixated on a nearby plate of meat.)（我来到克罗丽科的休息室，她正蹲着用胡萝卜挑逗兔子。而兔子只是兴致缺缺地耷拉着耳朵，两只石榴红的眼睛牢牢锁住不远处的肉碟。）

KrolikBut recently, this little fella here seems a little down...不过最近这段时间，这家伙好像没什么精神……

CommanderBecause it doesn't like vegetables?它不喜欢蔬菜？

KrolikI'm not exactly sure what's going on, but rabbits shouldn't be interested in meat, right? Unless...不知道怎么回事，兔子不应该对肉类有兴趣吧？除非是……

CommanderIt's a sign of mutation.变异的征兆。

Krolik...……

KrolikIsn't it too early for conclusions, Commander? Maybe it just has no appetite.指挥官，这个判断下得有点早吧，也许它只是没有胃口。

CommanderThat's true, but Krolik, remember that our task is to caretake, observe, and accurately record all results. Clearing up any suspicions is also part of the job.确实如此，不过克罗丽科，我们的任务是饲养和观察，并且如实记录所有结果，如果存在疑点，就要进行验证。

KrolikBut...!唔……！

CommanderThe meat's already prepped, right? Just feed it a little to see.肉已经准备好了不是吗？就给它吃一点吧。

Krolik...Alright, let's try it out.……行，我试试。

KrolikLittle chubby, it's dinner time, you—小胖子，开饭了，你可要——

(Right as Krolik picks up the plate, the rabbit suddenly lunges forward, snatching the meat using its two front paws, and starts frantically feasting, smearing bits of flesh all over.)（克罗丽科刚拿起肉碟，兔子突然一个猛冲，用两只前爪护住肉，一顿狂吃，糊得满嘴肉沫。）

KrolikAh—啊——

KrolikW-we still can't confirm it's a mutation, right, Commander? Look, records show that rabbits would occasionally consume meat.指、指挥官，还不能确认是变异现象吧？你看，根据记录就算是兔子有时候也会食肉的。

KrolikS-so, it's still...所，所以，这家伙还……

CommanderWe can't say for sure if THAT kind of thing will happen yet. A dietary change may not necessarily be caused by radiation.现在还不能确定会发生那种情况，只是食性改变也不一定是因为辐射导致。

CommanderBut we need to be prepared, Krolik. Once any sort of mutation is confirmed, we must seek the client's opinion on disposal.不过要做好心理准备，克罗丽科，但是如果能够确认是发生了变异现象，我们就要征求委托人的处置决策。

KrolikBut—可是——

CommanderIf it turns into an ELID, its disposal will also be our responsibility. That's stipulated in the agreement.万一它变成生骸的话，处理它也是我们的责任，这也是委托内容上写明的。

Krolik...You mean, if it ever mutates, we have to...……所以，如果生骸化的话，要把这家伙给……

CommanderYes, we have to "neutralize it". Let's hand over the rabbit care duty to someone else for now. You've done a good job, Krolik.嗯，“无害化处置”，克罗丽科，最近照顾兔子的工作就先交给其他人吧？你已经做的很好了。

KrolikBut I refuse.不行。

KrolikAren't you the one who handed me this task? Have I made any mistakes so far? That's right, I haven't. So let me keep taking care of it. On the off chance that it turns into an ELID, I will handle it myself! Sound good?你不是交给我了吗？事到如今我有什么地方做的不对吗？所以，就继续由我来吧，如果这家伙变异了，我会负起责任来处置它！这样可以吧！

CommanderDon't push yourself too hard, okay?你可别逞强哦？

KrolikYou're the one who took on such a troublesome commission!还不是你乱接这种麻烦的委托！

(Krolik turns away in frustration, while the satiated rabbit climbs over and nuzzles against Krolik's leg.)（克罗丽科生气地别过头，吃饱的兔子却在此时爬了过来，贴着克罗丽科的小腿蹭了蹭。）

CommanderLook at how clingy it is to you, must be because you've been the one taking care of it all this time...它很黏你嘛，因为一直以来，都是你照顾着它……

KrolikIt's because it likes meat.喜欢肉而已。

(Krolik bends over and pets the rabbit, tapping its head with a finger.)（克罗丽科弯腰撸了一把兔子，用手指点着兔头。）

KrolikListen, you can only get half a plate, and the Commander and I will observe your condition.我跟你讲，这次你只能吃小半碟，然后我和指挥官会对你的情况进行观察。

KrolikIf you start eating too much... I'll have to "take care" of you, understand?你吃太多的话……我就要把你给做掉了，知道了吗？

(The rabbit's ears are perked right up while it stares at Krolik as if it understood her words. Its long ears sway up and down, looking very cute.)（兔子的两只耳朵竖得笔直，似懂非懂地看着她，长长的耳朵上下摇动，煞是可爱。）

KrolikDon't worry, Commander, I'll handle the rest. Sorry for all the trouble today.放心吧，指挥官，我会处理。今天谢啦。

How To Raise Your Bunny Ⅲ 科学养兔指南·Ⅲ

KrolikCommander, come quickly—Flare seems a little lethargic. Do you think it's sick?指挥官，快来看看，红焰好像没精神，是不是病了？

(Sitting on a chair, Krolik carefully holds the fat rabbit in her arms. The ruby-red fur of the Obshare reminds me of Krolik's iconic combat attire.)（克罗丽科坐在椅子上，小心地抱着怀里的胖兔子。曜石兔红色的绒毛让我想起克罗丽科常穿的作战服。）

CommanderFlare? Since when did you get so close to it—and even gave it a name?红焰？克罗丽科什么时候和它关系这么好了，还给它起了名字？

KrolikWe've taken care of it for so long and have spent all this money and energy already, giving it a name is only natural... Despite being just a lab experiment, it should get what it deserves.都养了这么久了。钱也花了，精力也耗了，起个名字很正常吧……就算这家伙只是实验动物，应该得到的东西，就要给它才对。

Krolik...No matter what happens eventually.……不管最后会发生什么。

CommanderYou know, they say the bond between a master and their pet starts when they give the pet a name.据说，主人和宠物羁绊的开始，就是主人主动给宠物起名字。

CommanderYou seem to really like Flare, Krolik.克罗丽科，真的很喜欢红焰呢。

KrolikCommander! Can you stop interrupting me when I'm onto something serious? Help me check if it's sick.指挥官！能不能不要总在我说正事时打断我，快看看它是不是病了？

KrolikI lost track of its meal and let it eat a whole kilo of meat in one go. Now it's been refusing to move for a good while now.之前没控制好，让它一口气吃了两斤肉，结果这家伙到现在都不怎么动弹。

KrolikIt's usually very active and clingy—always wanting to play when it's awake and not hungry.平常它很活跃的，醒了只要不饿就会缠着我陪它玩。

(Krolik says as she gently strokes Flare's fur. It purrs contentedly while its round eyes are narrowed to slits.)（克罗丽科一边说，一边用手轻轻地顺毛摸红焰的皮毛。红焰舒服得直打呼噜，平常溜圆的眼睛也眯成了两条缝。）

CommanderKrolik... How did Flare do in the recent examinations?克罗丽科……关于红焰最近的检查报告，我能听听吗？

KrolikNothing unusual when it comes to blood samples, body structure, or behaviors, but...不管是血液指标，身体结构，还是行为检测都没有异常，可是……

CommanderYeah, I can see.是啊，很明显了。

CommanderWhile everything else is normal, it weighs almost twenty kilograms—that's almost a world record... Hmm, I'm not well-versed in biology, but this is definitely wrong.其他指标再正常，就体型来说，已经快有二十公斤的样子，接近兔子的世界纪录了……嗯，我对生物学不怎么熟悉，但这肯定是不对劲的。

KrolikWhat does the client have to say?委托人怎么说？

CommanderThey haven't replied yet—probably still evaluating the data we sent. Although I believe that Flare has only grown in size and have yet to undergo actual ELID mutation, maybe it's only a matter of time.还没有回复，应该正在评估我们送去的数据报告吧，虽然我认为红焰只是体型增长，并没有发生实际的E.L.I.D.化，但或许也只是时间问题。

KrolikWhy did you task me with taking care of this thing in the first place, Commander?……指挥官，当初为什么要让我来养这家伙？

CommanderBecause I thought you'd be gentle and attentive enough to take good care of it, and you indeed have.因为我觉得克罗丽科你足够温柔和细心，一定能把它照顾得很好，事实也的确如此。

KrolikHah!? Who's gentle and attentive! Are you trying to pick a fight?!哈啊！？谁温柔又细心了！你想和我找茬吗！

KrolikI just… can't help but feel bad for it. It doesn't even know that it's born into this world as a lab experiment to be sent to the contamination zones. Even when it does its best to eat and grow healthy, it has no say in its own fate.我只是……觉得这家伙有点可怜。连自己作为实验动物诞生也不知道，被送到污染区来，即使为了健康长大努力地吃，也没法决定自己的生死。

KrolikAnd in the end, it's all alone, by itself... Never to meet another one of its kind.而且到最后也，孤零零的一个……连一个同类都没见过。

CommanderThe data we collect from Flare might just become the key to save countless lives in the future. Just try to make peace with it, Krolik.从红焰身上得到的数据，或许会在未来成为解救许多生命的契机，稍微想开一些吧，克罗丽科。

KrolikHmph, you make it sound like this thing is so noble while all it does is eat, poop, and nothing else.哼，你说得这家伙好像很伟大一样，但它明明除了吃和拉就什么都不会。

KrolikWhat a dumb, dumb rabbit.真是只蠢兔子，蠢死了。

(Krolik rubs the rabbit's head in frustration. At the same time, my terminal receives a message.)（克罗丽科气呼呼地揉着兔子的脑袋，这个时候，我的通讯终端传来了一条讯息）

Commander...It's the client. They just replied.……是委托人，他们回复了。

Krolik...Really?……是吗？

CommanderThey want us to collect one last batch of data and blood sample to send them. They'll decide what to do with Flare in 24 hours. In any case, the commission can be considered complete.希望我们采集最后一次血样和全部调查数据并且传输过去，24小时后，他们会对红焰的处置做出决定，不管怎么说，委托都可以算是完成了。

CommanderGood job, Krolik.辛苦了，克罗丽科。

KrolikI see. In 24 hours. huh?我知道了，24小时后吗？

Krolik...Great! Wonderful! Finally free from this creature! What a pain in the ass. Remember to pay me my bonus, Commander!……太好了太好了，终于可以从你这家伙的麻烦里解脱出来了！真麻烦，记得给我发奖金，指挥官！

KrolikWell, I have something to attend to so I'll leave now. Please take care of things here for me, Commander.那个，我有点事，先走了，这里你收拾吧，指挥官。

CommanderWait, Kro—等等，克——

How To Raise Your Bunny Ⅳ 科学养兔指南·Ⅳ

KrolikIt's been 24 hours, Flare. The time has come to decide your fate.红焰，24小时已经到了呢，接下来就是要决定你命运的时刻。

KrolikHahaha, look at how much you ate... even an idiot can tell it's a sign of mutation, you dumb rabbit. No, you're not a rabbit, you're a pig!哈哈哈，谁让你吃这么多……结果连呆子也能看得出这是变异的迹象呢，蠢兔子，不对，才不是兔子，你简直是猪啦！

Krolik...If the Commander brings the news that the client has requested to have you disposed of, I'll be the one to do it.……如果指挥官带来委托人的要求，要把你这家伙给收拾掉的话，就由我来动手。

KrolikDon't worry, I'll get it done cleanly so you won't feel any pain—that's the last thing I can do as your caretaker.放心，我会利落地动手，不让你感受到任何痛苦，至少这是作为你的监护人，我能做的最后一件事。

CommanderKrolik—Wait.克罗丽科——等等。

KrolikC-Commander...指，指挥官……

CommanderI just contacted the client. Regarding Flare, right now...我刚刚和委托人联络过了，关于红焰的处置，现在就……

KrolikNo!不行！

KrolikI'll be the one to handle it—we agreed on that, right?!都说过了，我来动手，已经约好了吧！？

KrolikI know! This thing has shown clear signs of mutation, but it hasn't hurt anyone, has it?! I-it might never hurt anyone, but if they insist on disposing it, then just give me the order now!我知道！这个家伙明显已经发生了变异迹象，可是它还没有伤人吧！？也，也许一直都不会伤人吧，即使如此也要处置它的话，就对我下命令！

CommanderKrolik!克罗丽科！

KrolikAh—啊——

CommanderLately, I've also been monitoring Flare's data and came to my own hypothesis. After sending my conclusion to the client, they also confirmed it.最近我也有在留意红焰的数据，分析后得出了一个猜测，上次我把结论发送给了委托人后，得到了他们的证实。

CommanderActually, Flare didn't mutate because of radiation—it's simply adapting to the environment.其实红焰并非因为辐射作用而发生变异，它只是在适应环境而已。

KrolikAdapting... to the environment?适应……环境？

CommanderTo stabilize its internal biology in an irradiated environment, it evolved a larger size, better mobility, and a broadened diet to compensate for those changes. But those have nothing to do with ELID.为了在辐射环境下稳定自身结构，短期内它获得了更大的体型和运动能力，也扩展了食谱，但这并非生骸化。

KrolikS-so, we don't have to dispose of it?那、那么，不用处置这家伙吗？

CommanderNo. In fact, the client is pleased with the result.没有那个必要，不如说结果让委托人很满意。

Krolik...Really? What a shame. This rabbit is useless now then, right?……是，是吗？真可惜，那这兔子没用了吧？

CommanderAs a valuable test subject, the client requested Flare to be returned. But they did assure to let it live out its natural lifespan as a live specimen.因为是宝贵的观测个体，委托人要求把红焰送还，不过他们保证会让它作为活体观测样本正常地过完寿限。

KrolikI see...这样啊……

(For a moment, a rare, gentle smile flashed across Krolik's face, as if a burden had been lifted.)（一瞬间，克罗丽科的脸上露出了对她而言非常少见的、温柔的神情，仿佛卸下了重担般，闪过了稍纵即逝的笑容。）

KrolikWait a second... I don't believe things went THIS smoothly. What have you done, Commander?不对……我不相信事情都会这么顺利，指挥官，你做了什么吧？

CommanderI just wrote one extra report. Since you organized the data so well, it didn't take long. Also, the client did ask whether the Elmo could keep taking care of it, but I turned down their request.多写了一份报告而已，因为克罗丽科你把检查数据整理得很好，不费什么事。另外，其实委托人也询问过是否能一直由艾莫号饲养下去，不过我拒绝了。

KrolikWhy... Is it because I didn't take good care of it?为什么……是我照顾得不好吗？

CommanderMore like because Flare's appetite is so enormous that if we keep it around, our finances will be sent to the gutter.因为红焰的食量过于可观，再这样下去艾莫号的财政就要受到影响了。

KrolikAh, I see... Pffft! Hahaha! What can I say... Hahaha, hahaha—啊，这样啊……哈哈！哈哈哈！真叫人无言以对啊我说……哈哈哈，哈哈哈——

(Later, while waiting for the drone to pick up the rabbit, Krolik sits in the hangar with Flare in her arm. As the Elmo drives forward in the wasteland, both their bunny ears sway in the wind in sync.)（之后，为了等待来接红焰的无人机，克罗丽科抱着红焰坐在机库，随着艾莫号向前行驶，她和红焰的兔耳朵一同微微摇动。）

KrolikHeh-heh, you dumb rabbit. I heard they want to observe your offspring too. Now you're going to live in luxury, you little—哼哼，你这个蠢兔子，据说他们也想观测你的后代呢，这下不是要享福了吗？你这家伙，你这家伙——

CommanderI've made a request to the client, and they agreed to send us Flare's pictures and videos regularly. That way you'll get to see how it's doing, Krolik.我向委托人提出了申请，会定期发送红焰的生活录像给我们的，以后克罗丽科也可以知道它过得好不好了。

KrolikHah! You sure like rabbits, Commander.哈！指挥官还真是喜欢兔子呢。

CommanderI do, but it's not limited to just Flare.确实喜欢兔子，但并不是指红焰哦。

Krolik...Hmm. W-what are you even saying?! S-stop messing with me... Commander!……呃，说，说些什么啊！？指挥官，你可不要……开玩笑了。

CommanderYou've seemed a bit low lately; I don't want this mission to ruin your mood.因为克罗丽科你一直都很担心的样子，我可不想你的心情因为这个任务受到影响。

Krolik...Is that so? Well then... Commander.……这样么，那……指挥官。

CommanderYes?什么？

KrolikYou know... I mean, you know rabbits will be terrified when left alone and need hugs to fix that, right?! You know that, right?! Answer me!你知道……就是，就是说啊！你知道兔子是，很害怕寂寞的，需要抱抱的动物吧！？知道的吧！？快回答啊！？

CommanderLook at this angry rabbit—she must have mutated, let's get it tested immediately.这么暴躁的兔子，莫非是变异了，要赶紧检测一下。

KrolikCOM-MAN-DER—?!指，挥，官——！？

CommanderJust kidding, come here.开玩笑的，过来吧。

KrolikAh—啊——

Her thoughtful cooking brings out soul-stirring flavors from even the simplest ingredients.合理的烹调让最简单的食材碰撞出令人动容的滋味。

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

KrolikD-does it taste good?可、可不可以啊？

The temperature...还需控制火候。

The seasoning...还需控制调味。

CommanderIt's pretty good, but better temperature control could make it even better.整体不错，火候再控制一下会更好。

KrolikSure, I got it, I'll improve it next time. Why are you so picky...知道了知道了，下次改进。你怎么这么挑……

CommanderYou have the potential to become a top chef.很有大厨的潜力。

CommanderVery tasty, it would be even better if the seasoning had more complexity and depth to it.很棒，调味再有层次一些就好了。

With a single bite, their freshness blooms upon the palate.一口下去，食材的鲜味在口中绽放。

Kitchen Chat 3 厨房闲谈3

KrolikD-don't eat it—and stop looking at it too! I-I messed up this time. Hey—不、不许吃——也不许看！这次是我失误了，喂——

An indescribably complex sensation surges in my chest, leaving my mind in a daze.难以名状的复杂口感涌上心间，以至脑海只剩一片茫然。

CommanderA mysterious flavour—yet somehow, it feels familiar.迷之口感，但吃起来有点熟悉。

KrolikYou... What if you get sick from eating this?!你……吃下去出问题了怎么办啊！？

It's edible.能吃。

It's rare for you to cook.难得吃到你的料理。

CommanderIt's still edible, so let's not waste it.还是可以吃的，别浪费了。

CommanderMy real thoughts are: it's edible.真实的反馈——能吃。

CommanderIt's rare to taste your cooking, so I still want to eat it.克罗丽科的料理很难得，我还是想吃。

KrolikWas this really the area that looked like a warehouse?这里真的是之前那个像仓库一样的地方吗？

KrolikHmm... It's completely unrecognizable now.嗯……完全认不出来了。

KrolikHow did Mayling even manage to do this...?美玲究竟是怎么做到的……

KrolikWhen I heard the name "crew deck" I thought it would be furnished in the style of the ops room.一开始听到活动层的名字还以为风格会和指挥室一样。

KrolikI didn't expect the Crew Deck to look like THIS... Not bad.没想到还挺有模有样的……不错。

CommanderWell... I don't think we'd go through all this work just to make it look like the ops room.呃……再怎么说也不至于像指挥室吧。

KrolikIs that so? But the ops room was where I was kidnapped to when I first arrived aboard the Elmo.是吗？但是我第一次登上艾莫号就被绑到了指挥室。

KrolikYou held my welcoming ceremony there, too.甚至连那个什么欢迎会也是在指挥室。

CommanderUgh... I have no counter to that...呃……再一次无言以对……

GrozaNow that we have the crew deck, our activities won't be restricted to the ops room.以后有活动层了，大家可以活动的范围也更大了。

GrozaIf you wish, we can redo your welcoming ceremony here.如果克罗丽科愿意，我们也可以再举办一次欢迎仪式。

KrolikNo need, I was just...不，我只是……

Nemesis...The fool and the repelling wall...……愚钝之人，绝斥的壁垒……

KrolikWhat did you just say?!你说什么！

GrozaAhem.咳咳。

KrolikHmph!哼！

CommanderAnyway, it seems that there are more unused areas around here.话说回来，这里还有很多空置的区域啊。

GrozaMayling said that these areas haven't been cleaned up yet, and there are even areas with unknown functions.美玲说这些区域还没有被清理出来，甚至很多区域的功能都没有确定。

CommanderDo we have to do any prep work before we clean those areas up?如果要清理这些区域需要什么前置工作吗？

CommanderThe crew deck would be kind of dull if we only had the lounge.只有休憩大厅的话，有些太过单调了。

CommanderLet's expand into another area while the iron is hot.我想趁热打铁再拓展一个区域。

GrozaMayling said that the crew deck belonged to everyone.根据美玲所说，活动层是属于大家的区域。

GrozaIf we want to level up the crew deck and unlock more functions, we'll need the help of everyone aboard the Elmo.因此需要艾莫号上的大家同心协力才可以提升等级，开拓更多的功能。

GrozaIn Mayling's terms, this means that we need to increase the crew deck's mood score.用美玲的话来说明，是要提升活动层的氛围度。

KrolikMood score? I don't really get it...氛围度？什么意思不太理解……

CommanderIt means that we just need to turn the crew deck into a comfortable living space, bustling with activity.也就是说让活动层变得更宜居和热闹就可以了。

KrolikComfortable? Bustling?宜居？热闹？

Nemesis...The Fool...……愚钝之人……

KrolikNemesis!纳·美·西·丝！

Nemesis...The mediocre... vapidly empty...……庸碌者，虚无……

KrolikWhat?! Who did you just call useless?!什么！你说不需要谁！

KrolikYou wanna go, right now?要不要现在我们就在这里比划比划！

CommanderHow's the crew deck doing, Groza?闪电，现在情况如何？

GrozaThe crew deck's mood score has reached the required amount.活动层的氛围度已经达到了要求。

GrozaWe can level up the crew deck now.我们随时可以提升活动层的等级。

KrolikThey have nothing to do with that! They're just... just decorations!和这个没有关系！这只是……装饰！

KrolikI'm a Doll, so my senses are keener than most, that's all.只是因为我是人形，所以更敏感一些罢了。

CommanderI was just kidding. Is there anything I can help you with?开个玩笑而已，有什么需要我帮忙的吗？

KrolikMayling said to send the replaced equipment to the armory passage.美玲说了，把更换后的设备送到武器室通道那里就好。

KrolikI haven't finished my adjustments over here, though... hm...不过，我这边还没有调试好……嗯……

CommanderI'll send it over for you, then.好吧，我帮你拿过去。

CommanderBut where's the armory passage...不过武器室通道是在……

KrolikYou can find out by checking the map, right?看下地图不就知道了？

CommanderThe map?地图？

KrolikYou can check the crew deck's layout through the mini map. It even shows where everyone is at the moment.通过小地图可以看到活动层的布局，还会显示目前的人员状况。

KrolikDid you not know this?你不会不知道吧？

CommanderI know it now.我现在知道了。

KrolikMayling added a lot of handy navigation shortcuts to the crew deck.美玲在活动层中加入了许多快捷便利的操作系统。

KrolikTry them out when you're free.有空的话你可以尝试一下。

KrolikTsk... No, I'm still worried...啧……不行，有点担心……

KrolikI'd better take you out to try it out hands-on.我还是带你实际体验一下吧。

CommanderHehehe, thank you, Krolik.呵呵呵，谢谢你，克罗丽科。

KrolikCommander? I was just checking on mission info from the dispatch room.指挥官？我只在确认调度室的任务信息。

CommanderThe dispatch room?调度室？

CommanderSo this touchscreen is connected to the dispatch room?这块联络屏还能连接到调度室？

KrolikLeader said that you could check the details on the dispatch room through this.队长告诉我的，说是调度室的工作可以在这里确认。

CommanderI didn't know there was such a thing... This is my first time learning about this...原来还有这种装置……我第一次知道……

KrolikYou didn't know? So you run all the way back to the ops room whenever you have work?你不知道？不会每次处理工作时，都要赶回指挥室吧？

CommanderYes, actually.确实是这样的。

KrolikIsn't that a huge pain... No wonder you never go back to your room to rest...那太麻烦了……难怪你平时都不怎么回房间休息……

CommanderHm? What did you say?嗯？你说什么？

KrolikTch! It's nothing!嘁，没什么！

KrolikIt's just that you're our Commander, so you should figure out how to use tools like this ASAP.只是作为我们的指挥官，你应该尽快掌握使用这些工具的方法。

KrolikThat way, you'll be able to preserve your health and get your work done.这样才能在保证身体健康的同时处理好工作内容。

KrolikSince I've got some time now, I'll help demonstrate it for you.现在我刚好有空，就让我给你演示一下吧。

KrolikEr... It's nothing at all! I can complete missions like this easily...呃……什么都没有！这种任务我可以轻松完成……

KrolikI just... I need to come up with a better plan for avoiding dangers.只不过……要稍微制定一下规避风险的计划。

CommanderDangers? Is there anything dangerous in the lounge?风险？休憩大厅里有什么危险的东西吗？

KrolikI'm going to put these ornaments on the stepped sofa.我现在要给这个阶梯沙发放上装饰品。

Commander...That's it?……就这样？

KrolikIt's a mission from Leader.这是队长交代的任务。

KrolikSo I can't just dump them anywhere, otherwise it won't count as finishing the mission!所以我不能乱放，不然不算是完成任务！

CommanderI see, so Groza asked you to place some decorative ornaments, right?明白了，是闪电让你放置装饰用的摆件，对吧？

KrolikYeah... The main thing is that I don't know how to place these two little guys to show off their best side...嗯……主要是我不知道要如何展示这两个小家伙的亮点……

CommanderAre these Dinergates? Hm... Now where have I seen this look before...这是兵蚁？呃……总觉得这个造型在哪里见过啊……

CommanderEspecially that megaphone...尤其是这个喇叭……

KrolikAnd apart from that megaphone, the ears on the other one... They look really striking... Hm...除了喇叭外，另一只的耳朵……很有杀伤力……呜……

CommanderKrolik...克罗丽科……

KrolikW-what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?怎、怎么了？干嘛那样看我。

CommanderIf you like them, why not ask Groza if you can put them in your room?你如果喜欢的话，要不要问问闪电，把它放到你房间里去？

KrolikW-w-what do y-y-you mean by l-liking them?! (coughs heavily)喜喜喜、喜欢？！咳咳咳咳……

KrolikThese are mission items! How could I just take them... take them back to my...这可是任务物品，我怎么可以擅……擅自带走……

CommanderIs that so? In that case, maybe I could help you pick a good place for them.是吗，既然如此就让我来帮你挑选一个好位置吧。

CommanderIf we get another set of ornaments in the same style, I'll give them to you.等下次弄到同款的摆件，我再送你一份吧。

KrolikH-Haaaah? W-why are you giving me a gift all of a sudden?!哈……哈？为、为什么突然要给我礼物！

KrolikStill, since you want to help out... I'll give you this pair of Dinergates.不过，既然你要帮忙……那这对兵蚁就交给你了。

CommanderHehehehe...呵呵呵呵……

KrolikNo laughing!不准笑！

CommanderAlright, alright.好的好的。

CommanderStill, if a certain Doll saw them, I wonder if it would trigger her PTSD...不过，这兵蚁要是被某位人形看到……会不会引发心理阴影啊……

Bedroom Chat 5 卧室闲谈5

CommanderHm, not bad, not bad.嗯，不错不错。

KrolikCommander, why are you staring at the weapon display rack?指挥官，你怎么一直盯着这个武器展列架？

KrolikAre you going to put a hidden door in here?难道是想要在这里设计一个暗门吗？

CommanderA hidden door?暗门？

KrolikIn the underground... I mean, in my previous place, the humans liked to put hidden doors behind things like this.地下……我之前在的地方，那些人类就喜欢在这种架子的后面设计暗门。

KrolikDuring an emergency, they'd pop through the hidden doors and run away through an escape tunnel.遇到紧急情况就打开暗门，从密道逃走。

Commander...I see.……原来如此。

CommanderWell, I was just thinking about what kind of weapons to put in here.虽然我只是在思考要在这里摆放什么武器比较好。

KrolikIf you're thinking about keeping weapons ready, does that mean you're planning to head into battle?摆放武器，指挥官也准备战斗吗？

KrolikYou don't have to worry, I'll protect you.不用担心，我会保护好你的。

CommanderI know you will, and I know you and the others are reliable, Krolik. But I need to be able to fight when the circumstances call for it.确实克罗丽科你们都很可靠，但是我也必须拿起武器。

CommanderAfter all, this is my fight too.这也是属于我的战斗。

CommanderNaturally, having a big rack of guns makes me feel safer and fits my position better, don't you think?当然，摆上一架子的武器会更有安全感，也更符合我的身份不是吗。

KrolikHm... I don't really get all this complicated stuff.嗯……太复杂的事情我也搞不懂。

KrolikHowever... Thinking about being on the battlefield with you... It kind of puts me at ease.不过……光是想象一下和你一起站在战场上……就有一种安心感。

KrolikAlso, I'm kind of curious about what kind of weapons you use.而且我也有点好奇指挥官会选择什么武器了。

CommanderLet's take the opportunity to put them on display, then.那就趁这个机会先试试摆放些武器吧。

Bedroom Chat 6 卧室闲谈6

KrolikNeed help looking for her?需要我帮你找找队长吗？

CommanderI think Groza wanted to discuss something with me earlier, but I was busy. After I finished my work, I couldn't find her anywhere.闪电似乎有什么事情想要和我聊聊，我处理完手头的工作却发现找不到她了。

KrolikI see...原来是这样……

KrolikHow about giving this hotline handset a try?那指挥官不如试试这个专线通信器。

CommanderA hotline?专线？

KrolikI heard Mayling made it... Supposedly it was so that you could contact us outside of ops.据说是美玲弄的……说是可以让指挥官在非作战时间也可以联络到我们。

KrolikJust contact us on our frequency channel with this and we'll meet up with you on the crew deck.只要指挥官使用这个专线联络我们的频段，我们就可以到活动层和你汇合。

CommanderWell, that's handy.这还真是方便。

KrolikAlso, it can connect to our dorms.以及这个装置还可以和休息室建立联系。

KrolikIn short, it'll be very handy once you get familiar with it.总之只要熟悉了是很方便的。

KrolikI'll be heading to the training room after this. I wonder what Nemesis is doing today.之后我要去训练场训练，不知道今天纳美西丝在干什么。

KrolikAre you interested, Commander? It might be a little too dangerous to let a human into the training grounds...指挥官有兴趣？让人类进入训练场好像有点太危险了……

KrolikI'll ask if the difficulty can be turned down.我问问能不能调低难度。

Dorm Dialogue 1 宿舍对话1

KrolikNow that you mention it, it seems Nemesis went back to her room to rest...说起来，纳美西丝好像回房间休息了……

KrolikHah? Who's worried about her? She must have worn herself out earlier and used up too much battery.哈？我为什么要担心她啊，那家伙一定是之前太闹腾，电量消耗太大而已。

Krolik...I'll go check in on her later, when I'm free.……等之后有空了，我再去看看吧。

KrolikAnd she even cut the small tomatoes into little rabbits...而且还把小番茄做成了兔子的形状……

KrolikIt, it's not like I'm interested in these things!我、我可没有被这东西吸引！

Massage Lounge 1 按摩休闲1

KrolikSpeaking of the celebration, we really should...提到庆典，指挥官，我们果然还是应该……

NemesisMy divination says we should exercise caution and carefully observe the situation. It would be unwise to engender a great disaster through hastiness.占卜告诉我，小心为上。应该静观其变，切勿因为一时的冲动兴起而酿成大祸。

KrolikHah?! What nonsense are you talking?哈？你这家伙在那说什么鬼话呢！

KrolikWhat's a celebration without excitement? Why don't you not cook either? Just stare at your prism until everything is over!一点也不热闹还叫什么庆典？我看干脆你也别做什么料理，就盯着你那棱镜一直看到结束算了！

NemesisThat suggestion is like a light shining through the darkness. Commander, perhaps you could consider some kind of fortune-telling event during the celebration.这份提议如同照彻黑夜的明光。指挥官，我认为您可以考虑采纳，在庆典中安排占卜活动。

CommanderI... Hm. I'll consider it.这个……嗯，总之我会考虑一下的。

CommanderRobella prepared several wishing slips. These are for the two of you. I hope you'll write your wishes down on them.洛贝拉准备了一些许愿签，这是你们两个人的份，希望你们能在上面写下愿望。

KrolikHmph, you're making a whole thing of it and all! But as for my wish... I can't think of one right now!哼，还搞得挺像回事的嘛！但是愿望……我一时想不出来啊！

NemesisIn that case, would you like me to do a reading for you?既然这样，需要我为你占卜吗？

KrolikYeah, no. Go think of your own wish first. And don't tell me you're going to do your soothsaying stuff for it!免了，你先想想你自己的愿望吧。别和我说你打算用占卜算出来！

Nemesis...The wind softens, the clouds drift to rest; the moon glows bright, leaving the stars few and far between... Can you not divine your wish through prophecy?……风缓云息，月明星稀……愿望，不能用占卜得来吗？

KrolikOf course not! Put some thought into it, seriously think about it! I'll be thinking about it too!当然不能了！给我认真点去想！我也会一块想的！

Massage Lounge 2 按摩休闲2

KrolikHow are you supposed to properly season the meat with that kind of half-assed rubbing?!像你那样慢悠悠地揉搓，味道怎么可能腌进肉里！

KrolikDo it like this! Faster! Harder! Rougher! Got that?你应该像这样，快一点，用力点，再下手狠一点！明白了吗？

NemesisBeing overly hasty will result in the flavor only remaining on the surface.这样急功近利，只会让味道停留在表层。

NemesisYou need to find the right position and carefully knead the seasoning into the meat while following the grain.应该找到合适的部位，顺着纹理，一点点把味道揉搓进肉中。

KrolikHah?! How could such a slow and lazy method work?哈？那种慢悠悠的方法怎么可能有效！

KrolikYou think so too, don't you, Commander?指挥官，你也是这么想的吧？

NemesisCommander, look at my fingers. Surely you think my seasoning method is better, right?指挥官，看着我的手指，您会更认同我的腌制手法，对吗？

KrolikWhat's that? Is that a challenge? Alright, then we'll let the Commander decide whose seasoning technique is better.这是在挑衅？好啊，那就干脆让指挥官来看看是谁的腌制手法更好。

KrolikCommander, look at my fingers. I fight a lot, but there are no calluses on them at all! Want to feel them up?指挥官，你看我的手指，虽然平时经常战斗，但一点磨损都没有！你要不要摸摸看？

NemesisWhy not touch mine, Commander? How do my hands feel?不如摸我的，指挥官，我的手……你觉得怎么样？

CommanderI think... well, they look nice, but what does this have to do with seasoning meat?我感觉……挺好看的，但这和腌肉没什么关系吧？

KrolikJust sit there, Commander. We'll use our meat-seasoning techniques to give you a massage.指挥官你就坐在那，体会我们两个用腌肉的手法给你按摩就行了。

NemesisI agree, let the Commander be the judge.赞同，让指挥官来评价一下。

CommanderCan you actually tell whose seasoning technique is better by competing like this...这样做真的能比较出谁的腌肉手法好吗……

KrolikDon't think too much about it! In short, you'll know just how good our skills are!你就别想那么多了，总之，你体会了就知道我们的水平高低了！

KrolikDon't think too much about it! In short, you'll know just how good our skills are!你就别想那么多了，总之，你体会了就知道我们的水平高低了！

CommanderHey, your technique! There's something weird about the technique you're using!手法！等一下，这个手法是怎么回事？！

KrolikIs there? You need a combination of fast and slow strokes for best effect! Trust me, I've got a lot of experience doing this!手法怎么了？快慢结合才能出效果啊！相信我，我很有经验！

KrolikFirst, you rub fast... then go slow... What do you think, Commander? Feeling better now?先揉得快一点……再揉得慢一点……怎么样指挥官，有没有感觉舒服起来了？

CommanderIt hurts a bit, but I can definitely feel the tension leaving me.虽然又酸又胀，但确实能感觉身体中有压力被释放了出来。

KrolikSee? My instincts were right! After this, we can go faster...对吧？我的感觉果然没错！接下来的话还可以继续加速……

CommanderWaitwaitwaitwait! I've already experienced your technique!等等等等！你的手法我体会过了！

CommanderIt feels good, but let's just stop here for now!虽然很舒服，但是就先到这里吧！

KrolikCommander, you've experienced our massage skills...指挥官，我们两个人的按摩手法你都已经体会过了……

NemesisSo which of us will you pick?如果是您，您会选择我们当中的哪一位？

CommanderHmm... Well, on the whole, both of you have good skills.咳……嗯，从结果来说，你们两位的手法都很舒服。

CommanderIt's honestly very difficult for me to decide which of you is better.硬要我选择的话，我很难从你们中分出优劣。

KrolikTsk, so it's a draw, then? No problem, we'll go another round as a tiebreaker!啧，那也就是说这局平局咯？没关系，我们再比一次！

NemesisI want to try something different this time...这一次，我想试试别的方法……

CommanderHold it! Hold it! This isn't a massage competition. Actually, I have an idea.打住打住！这又不是按摩比赛，我有个想法。

CommanderEach of you will take charge of seasoning half of the meat. We'll decide the winner with a taste test when the time comes.这次腌制的肉，你们一人负责一半。到时候，靠味道来决胜负。

CommanderHow's that? Are you alright with competing in that way?怎么样？这样的比试方式你们同意吗？

NemesisI don't mind... And my readings tell me that this is the best way to handle it too.我没意见……占卜也显示这是最好的方法。

KrolikIt's decided, then! Hmph! I'll show you just how far you've fallen behind me this time!那就这么定了！哼，这一次，我一定要让你知道我们的差距！

Massage Lounge 5 按摩休闲5

KrolikCommander, you must be tired after working on the celebration preparations for so long, aren't you?指挥官，忙了那么久的庆典准备也累了吧？

KrolikI'm pretty much done with my share of the work. I had the sudden desire to mix myself a drink since I had some time, and I thought that I'd make an extra serving for you.现在忙得也差不多了。我心血来潮，打算趁现在有空做杯喝的，到时候也分你一杯。

CommanderYou're making a drink? Alright, I'm interested.克罗丽科做吗？那我还挺期待的。

KrolikHmph, I'm sure my drink will melt away your fatigue.哼，我做的饮品肯定能缓解你的疲劳。

KrolikLet's see what they have at the bar... Tsk, what happened to the tomatoes? They're all gone!让我看看水吧的材料……啧，怎么偏偏最关键的水果番茄没了？

KrolikHang on, Commander. I'll go get some right now.稍等我一会，指挥官。我这就出去把它搞到手。

CommanderCan't you make a drink with something else... Also, what do you mean by "get some"? Sounds like you're going to do something dangerous...话说不能换个饮品做吗……还有，你的“搞到手”是指什么？总感觉很危险啊……

KrolikNope, I refuse to compromise, and I certainly won't change my plans just because I run into a little bit of difficulty!不行，我不喜欢妥协，更不打算遇到点困难就轻易改变计划！

KrolikAnd besides... getting some means I'm going to get some! Don't worry, it might be a little violent, but it's perfectly legal!再说……搞到手就是搞到手啦！放心，最多手段粗暴，但我保证会合规合法！

CommanderThat just makes me feel even more worried...你这种说法只会让我更担心啊……

CommanderEh, forget it, I'll lend you a hand.算了，我也来帮忙好了。

Let's head out.出发。

I'm not ready yet.还没准备好。

CommanderHere you go, I got the tomatoes you were looking for.给，你要的水果番茄我带来了。

KrolikActually, I could have gotten them myself... But thanks, Commander.其实我去弄就行了……总之谢了，指挥官。

CommanderHonestly, I'm quite curious about why you're making a drink... For some reason, I don't think that "sudden desire" was as sudden as it seems.我还是很好奇你做饮品的原因……这背后恐怕不像你说的，只是单纯的心血来潮吧？

Krolik...Tsk, I can't keep anything from you.……啧，真是什么都瞒不过你。

KrolikPart of the reason why I wanted to mix a drink was for that nag who always talks in riddles.我做饮品……有一半是为了那个总是神神叨叨的谜语人啦。

CommanderAre you talking about Nemesis? What happened to her?你是指纳美西丝？她怎么了？

KrolikLet me get this out of the way first; I wasn't trying to spy on her. I just happened to meet her on my way and I heard her muttering to herself.先说好，我没有偷看的意思，只是之前碰巧路过，看到她在喃喃自语。

KrolikJudging by the look on her face and the way she was muttering to herself, she probably remembered something from her past...从她的表情和断断续续的话来推测，恐怕是又想起了以前的一些事……

CommanderI see. So you wanted to make this drink to help her relax?原来如此。所以你就想到给她做杯饮品，让她放松下精神？

KrolikHmph, I just happened to see her like that. And I don't want to see her mopey face since the celebration's almost here.哼，只是顺带。庆典在即，我可不想看到她愁眉苦脸的样子。

CommanderI think I get it now... You really do care for Nemesis, don't you?情况我了解了……你还真是关心纳美西丝啊。

KrolikI told you, I just happened to see her! Also, I'm planning to make a portion for you too. Just think of it as a drink I'm making because I feel like it.都说了只是顺带了！另外，我也打算给指挥官做一杯饮品，算是我为你准备的私心特调了。

CommanderThanks for your kindness. In that case, I think I'll give you a hand too.让你费心了，那我也来帮帮忙吧。

Massage Lounge 7 按摩休闲7

CommanderIn that case, why don't you help me check my fortune, Krolik?那既然这样，克罗丽科你帮我看一下最近的运势如何？

NemesisI see... Krolik, you will dispel the misfortune in my place.不错……克罗丽科，就由你来代替我驱散不祥吧。

KrolikHah?! Are you kidding me? As if I'd do ridiculous stuff like that!哈？开什么玩笑！这种荒谬的事情我怎么可能去做！

NemesisIndeed... Your talent is lacking... In that case, I shall be her replacement...果然……在天赋上，你有所欠缺……那指挥官，还是由我来代劳……

KrolikWho are you calling incapable?! You want to see if I can do it? Fine, I'll show you! Commander, sit there and don't move!你说谁不行呢？看就看，谁怕谁！指挥官，你，你坐那别动！

Krolik...……

NemesisKrolik, you must get closer. You will not be able to see ill omens at that distance.克罗丽科，你需要再近点。维持这种距离，是无法看到恶兆的。

KrolikI just thought... your eyes are... they're really charming...觉得……觉得你的眼睛挺好看的……

KrolikAnd your nose... it looks really good... and your eyelashes too...然后……鼻子，也长得挺好看的……睫毛也是……

NemesisKrolik, you don't need to vibrate like that when checking for omens.克罗丽科，观察恶兆是不需要让身体抖动这一步骤的。

KrolikI... I'm just nervous! Nervous! Got that?!我……！我这是在紧张！紧张你懂吗？

NemesisI see... you are nervous because you can see the ill omens, is that it?我明白了……你是因为看到不祥的氛围而紧张吗？

Krolik...As if! Who would be able to tell what those are?!……才怪啊！鬼才能看得出那玩意！

CommanderThen why are you nervous?那你紧张是因为？

KrolikThat's, uh, that's because...因、因为……

NemesisThe Commander is asking you a question. Reply quickly.指挥官在问你问题，快回答。

KrolikIt's because I'm nervous about being so close to the Commander! Dammit, don't make me say that out loud!当然是因为在指挥官身边紧张啊！可恶，不要让我说这些啊！

Massage Lounge 8 按摩休闲8

NemesisCommander, I shall perform an exorcism to ward off the bad luck clinging to you.以防厄运缠身，指挥官，请稍后让我为您进行驱魔的仪式。

NemesisTo banish the darkness and reveal the truth... Commander, I hope you will understand the importance of this procedure.溟灭幽暗，遮光显形……指挥官，请您理解它的必要。

KrolikHah? Why are things getting more and more complicated?哈，事情怎么变得越来越复杂了！

KrolikAre you seriously going to take part in this exorcism nonsense, Commander?我说，指挥官，你真的要去参加那个什么驱魔仪式吗？

KrolikWhat if she fails and ends up cursing you instead?!我看别到最后驱魔没成，反倒惹到了一堆不该招惹的诅咒呢！

NemesisBreak the sky and destroy darkness, exterminate demons and monsters...天破黯灭，魑魅灭除……

Krolik...What? I just said a couple of things! Do you have to make it out to be so bad?……啧，我不就说了两句吗？有必要被你说得那么严重吗？

KrolikOkay, okay, fine, don't look at me that way. Save that energy for exorcising the Commander or whatever.行啦，别用那种眼神瞪我，你还是留着你的那份精力，给指挥官准备驱魔吧。

Massage Lounge 9 按摩休闲9

Krolik...Tsk, in my opinion, let's just go find Nemesis instead!……啧，要我说啊，不如去找纳美西丝算了！

GrozaKrolik...?克罗丽科……？

KrolikAlthough I think that her fortune-telling crap has never been accurate, but since the regular methods don't work, then we can only try superstitions.虽然我也觉得那家伙的占卜就没有准过，但既然常规手段行不通，也就只能试试玄学了。

KrolikEven a little clue would help, right?哪怕能有一点线索也好吧？

OTs-Yup, we need to confirm the Commander's safe right now at least.嗯，起码要确认指挥官现在是否安全。

GrozaUsing Nemesis' prism to fortune-tell? ...It does count as a method.用纳美西丝的棱镜占卜吗？……这也算是一种方向。

GrozaWhat do you think, Mayling?美玲觉得如何呢？

MaylingI agree! With news about the Commander, everyone can continue rebuilding the Elmo reassured.我同意！有了指挥官的消息以后，大家就能安心下来继续修建艾莫号了。

MaylingA-also, I'm really concerned about how the Commander's doing as well...而、而且，我其实也很担心指挥官现在怎么样了……

MaylingBut... is this really the Commander's hat? Why does it have bunny ears?但是……这真的是指挥官的帽子吗？为什么会有兔耳呢？

KrolikAh, I feel like it suits the Commander quite well, so I did a bit of modification—啊，我感觉还挺适合指挥官的，就稍微改装了一下——

KrolikWhat, Mayling doesn't think so?怎么了，美玲不这么觉得吗？

Mayling...I kind of.... can't imagine how the Commander looks wearing it...……我好像……不太能想象指挥官戴上去的样子……

KrolikW-Well the bunny ears or whatever isn't important!总、总之兔耳什么的不重要！

KrolikAnyhow, this is something that the Commander wore very frequently in the past. As long as it fits the requirements for fortune-telling, it's fine!反正这也是指挥官之前经常戴的东西，能满足占卜的要求就行了吧！

BastiAh! To have someone do this behind me and Darling's back!啊！居然有人背着我和Darling做这种事！

BastiHomewreckers—unforgivable!偷腥猫——不可原谅！

KrolikY-yeah, on what basis is Robella allowed to be so close to the Commander!就、就是啊，凭什么洛贝拉那家伙可以和指挥官靠得那么近！

KrolikThere must be some issues with Nemesis' prism!一定是纳美西丝的棱镜有问题！

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1Krolik was originally a civilian Doll that worked in a White Zone, but she was modified into a tactical Doll after she fell into the rings of the underground Doll fighting arena in the Green Zone. During the government-led crackdown operation, she managed to escape with the help of Peritya but lost contact with the others, and she ended up wandering in the contamination zones alone. In an unexpected turn of events, she was captured by the Commander while she was on the search for Peritya, and she ultimately decided to stay with the Elmo crew. Her bunny headgear may seem cute, but Krolik is quite hot-tempered in contrast. With the unusual choice of a melee weapon and an aggressive combat style, one can be forgiven for expecting her to be likewise reckless and cocky. In reality, she is far more dependable than most realize, to the point of serving as Nemesis' exclusive translator. Even though she doesn't concern herself with her peers' compliments (or at least pretending as such), her stubborn refusal while going "Enough with the flattery, just tell me what has to be done!" is also a part of her charm. While straightforward and no-nonsense at first glance, Krolik also harbors secrets that she never voices: the process of her forced modification, the trauma of the arena, and that damned selfish Doll who saved her then vanished without a word... The nightmares of the past may seem left behind, but she continues her pursuit, unafraid to confront and overcome them. Maybe that's why she chose to stay with the Commander, as birds of a feather. Whatever the future holds, one thing is certain—Krolik will stand by the Commander's side, marching forward with unwavering resolve.由民用人形改制成的战术人形，原本在白区工作，后来沦落至绿区地下人形角斗场。在角斗场的取缔行动中，她在佩里缇亚的帮助下逃跑，却失去了与其他人的联络，独自流连于污染区。在寻找佩里缇亚的路上，克罗丽科误打误撞被指挥官一行抓住，并最终留在了艾莫号上。 头戴可爱兔耳，性格却暴躁冲动。作为少见的使用冷兵器的人形，她的作战风格更显直接。本以为会是狂妄轻浮的个性，相处下来却发现意外的靠谱负责，甚至成了纳美西丝的专属翻译官。但她可不屑于——或者说假装不在意——同伴们的夸赞，“啰啰嗦嗦的，要我干活就直说！”偶尔的嘴硬，也是克罗丽科可爱的一点呢。 虽然看起来直接磊落，但克罗丽科的心里其实也有不愿意直言的秘密。被改造的过程、角斗的经历、还有那个救了自己又自顾自消失的该死人形……旧日的梦魇看似远去，她却坚持追寻，从不畏惧直面并解决一切。选择留在指挥官身边，是否也是因为指挥官和她，在这一点上都是同类人呢？ 但无论结果如何，想必她都会陪伴在指挥官身边，坚定地走下去吧。

Record 2"You? Standing in my way?" As a streak of metallic light followed her slash, the ELID before Krolik collapsed to the ground. As the vanguard on the battlefield, her pair of bright red bunny ears always stood out in unmistakable defiance. With an aggressive combat style that inspired insurmountable dread in her enemies, her fondness for melee weapons only amplified that overbearing presence. With a blade in hand, Krolik's determination to claim victory was second to none. Unbeknownst to most, however, her choice of weapon was not a personal one. Fitted with a fire-control core optimized for bladed weapons, she was forced to charge headfirst into oncoming fire just so she could engage in combat with other Dolls—all designed to magnify the risks and make the spectacle more exciting in the arena. To survive, Krolik had to learn to strike with ruthless efficiency. With time, her peculiar and perilous combat style earned her notoriety within the arena, which dragged her deeper into the abyss. Now free from the arena's shackles, she had come to accept, perhaps even enjoy, her blade as her weapon of choice. Keen, sharp, and tempered, just like herself. After all, what could be more exhilarating than slicing up her foes in a close and personal manner? When the chilling blade meets her searing will, Krolik finds her moment of triumph.“挡在我面前，就你？” 一道寒光闪过，眼前的生骸应声倒地。战场的最前方，一双红色兔耳十分张扬。激进的作战风格让敌人不由胆寒，冷兵器的近距离直接攻击更是将压迫感拉满。克罗丽科手握长刀，夺取胜利的决心丝毫不输他人。 然而最初，使用冷兵器并不是她自己的选择，而是为了增加角斗观赏性的结果。改造者们为她装上了适配冷兵器的火控核心，让她迎着弹雨与其他人形搏斗。为了生存，克罗丽科只能学会毫不留情，罕见又危险的近身攻击也让她在角斗场中名声大噪，把她拖向更黑暗的深渊。 如今的她已经逃出地下角斗场，她也逐渐习惯、甚至喜欢上了使用冷兵器。干净利落、直截了当，这才是符合她性格的作战方式。还有什么比当着敌人的面割开他们的喉咙更痛快的事呢？ 当寒冷的锋刃与炽热的战意碰撞，那就是克罗丽科的制胜时刻。

Record 3"Krolik? Pretty please~" Colphne beamed with an exaggerated smile. Krolik glanced at Nemesis, who was standing next to Colphne with an unperturbed expression, and let out a sigh of annoyance. "Tsk. Me again? What happened to Mayling's translator?" "She said it's not fully calibrated yet, so you're the only one I can ask... I mean, you ARE the only one onboard who can even understand Nemesis to begin with~" Colphne inched closer with a grin, "All I want is to understand what Nemesis' divinations are about. I'm sure it won't take much of your time~" From the moment she boarded the Elmo and discovered that she could understand Nemesis' cryptic speech, Krolik was forcibly assigned the full-time role of a translator. She had no idea why she was the only one who could understand Nemesis. Somehow, her neural cloud automatically converted those strange, obscure phrases into plain sentences. "The hell? All that cryptic mumbo jumbo only for her to mean something like 'Nice weather today'?" Although Krolik found Nemesis' antics completely unbearable, she had no choice but to stomach her complaints when faced with the pleading looks of others on board the Elmo. "Fine, fine. Tell me, what's the result?" Krolik gestured at Nemesis. "...Morning mist, spills over ocean tide... dissolving... Ripple shrouded screams..." "What did she say?" "Tsk. She said you're going to trip at some point today." "Eh? But I wasn't asking about today! Nemesis? Hey—wait a second!" Colphne, in her attempt to catch up to Nemesis who had already walked off, tripped over something and dove face-first into the ground. Krolik raised an eyebrow while Nemesis turned around slightly—the faintest hint of a smile seemed to linger on her lips. "I told you she was unbearable!"“克罗丽科？拜托你啦~”寇尔芙满脸堆笑。 克罗丽科瞟了一眼寇尔芙身旁古井无波的纳美西丝，不耐烦地叹了口气。“啧，怎么还要我来？美玲的翻译器呢？” “她说还没做好调整欸，所以人家能问的只有你了……毕竟车上唯一能听懂纳美西丝说话的人了嘛~”寇尔芙笑着又靠近了一些，“人家只是想要知道，纳美西丝的占卜结果是什么，不会占用很多时间的哟~” 也许是从登上艾莫号、被发现可以听懂纳美西丝话语的那一刻开始，克罗丽科就被迫成为了全车人的翻译官。她也不知道为什么只有自己才能理解，那些神秘、高深的词句在她的心智中自动转化成了正常的话。什么啊，这家伙搞得这么神神叨叨，结果只是在说天气不错之类的废话？克罗丽科实在看不惯纳美西丝这副模样，可是看着周围人期待和求助的目光，她又只能把不满咽了下去。 “行了行了，说吧，什么结果？”克罗丽科用下巴点点纳美西丝。 “……清晨的薄雾，流溢海潮之上……消融……笼罩波纹的尖叫……” “是什么呀？” “啧，她说你今天走路会摔跤。” “欸？人家问的不是今天的事情啦，纳美西丝？等等——人家啦~” 寇尔芙试图追上走远的纳美西丝，却不知被什么绊了一下，一个踉跄摔倒在地，发出一声闷哼。克罗丽科挑眉，看前面的纳美西丝回头，嘴角好像带着点细微的笑。 就说看不惯这家伙啊！

Record 4No one expected Krolik to be good with children, but ever since Helena joined the Elmo crew, Krolik took it upon herself to look after her, much to the surprise of everyone else. Although she occasionally voiced her complaints, they were always directed at rather unexpected things— "Tsk. Can't someone fix these damn tables? What if Helena bumped into one of these sharp corners and got hurt?" ... "Hah? Why isn't it possible? We're just heading to the top deck to stargaze. Yes, I WILL be keeping my eyes on her." ... "Pathetic! You can't even manage something like this? Even Helena thinks you're weak!" As a matter of fact, her "care" extended beyond just Helena. Anyone deemed shorter, weaker, less daring, or less persistent than herself automatically fell under her protection. However, her "care" wasn't always welcomed— "Ahh, I told you I'm fine! Put me down already—!" "What?! You're the one who said you needed those meds on the top of the shelf! Just stay put and stop squirming if you're too short to reach it!" "Uppies, Colphne! Helena wants uppies too!" To those smaller or weaker than her—be it human or Doll—Krolik always offered her assistance without a second thought. Her experiences in the brutal and merciless pit of the arena may have shaped her instincts, but who said she needed a reason to safeguard the weak and powerless? Krolik smirked smugly and lifted Helena into the air as well.原本以为克罗丽科不会是喜欢带孩子的个性，但自从海伦娜来到车上，克罗丽科就一副理所当然的样子，开始照顾起她，让众人都有些吃惊。 也不是毫无怨言，但抱怨的方向都—— “啧，这些个破桌子就不能修修？这么尖的桌角伤着她怎么办？”“哈？凭什么不行？上个甲板看星星而已，有我在还不放心？”“太弱了！能不能行啊，海伦娜都嫌你没劲！” 也不只是海伦娜，似乎只要是看起来没她高的、没她壮的、没她硬气的、没她勇敢的……她统统都纳入关照范围内。尽管有时候这种“关照”并不是本人想要的—— “啊啊，就说了不用，快放人家下来啦——” “搞什么，是你自己说要拿上面的药的！矮就乖乖待着别乱动！” “寇尔芙，举高高！海伦娜也要玩！” 对于比自己弱小的人或人形，克罗丽科总是不吝于帮助和照顾，近乎本能。在角斗场中优胜劣汰的过去或许影响了她如今的行动，但谁又能说帮助弱小需要什么理由呢？ 克罗丽科哼笑一声，将海伦娜也举至半空。

Record 5Krolik had another dream. Dolls weren't supposed to dream of electric sheep. The damp, frigid air clung heavily... The dim, messy lights danced around as the feverish shouts intertwined with screams of terror... Fragment by fragment, the puzzle of memories reassembled itself into a patchwork of her past neural records, playing unbidden in her mind. "N-no! Please, no!" Her trembling opponent's tears failed to garner the crowd's sympathy, and Krolik couldn't be allowed to stop her strike. "What are you waiting for, kill 'em! I bet everything I had on you!" Thunderous howls engulfed them both, without any intentions to cheer her on. "The victory belongs to—Krolik!" She could still feel the ghastly warmth left by the referee's hand, gripping onto her wrist to raise her arm high in triumph. She could still see the thick, ultramarine fluid slowly dripping down from the tip of her blade. "Tsk. That's it? That's the end of it? What a letdown. I was expecting a few more rounds!" Their mocking and judgmental gaze scorched her, as if she was nothing more than a plaything for their amusement. She screamed. She fought back. Yet, it was all in vain. In those endlessly dark days, that cat-eared figure was the only one who reached out to her. The same figure who later helped her escape that purgatory, only to vanish without a trace after covering her retreat... Krolik jolted awake. Never again will she be anyone's pawn. The next time they met, she would've become stronger—strong enough to protect everything and everyone important to her. With that resolve burning in her chest, Krolik looked toward the ops room. "I will prove it, no matter what," Krolik silently vowed.克罗丽科又做梦了。人形本不该会做梦的。 潮湿而寒冷的空气、昏暗而杂乱的灯光、癫狂的起哄与惊恐的尖叫交织……一块块碎片凑在一起，拼织成从前的心智片段，自顾自地在她脑中播放起来。 “不、不要啊！”对手颤抖的泪水没能博得观众的同情，克罗丽科自然也无法停下攻击。 “给我上啊！我可是把身家都押在你身上了！”无处不在的欢呼裹挟着她，却没有几分为了她加油的意思。 “本场角斗的优胜者是——克罗丽科！”手腕上仿佛还有被裁判抓着举起的余温，刀上似乎还有黏稠的蓝色液体滴落。 “嘁，这么快就结束了，是不是敷衍我们？多来几个回合才好看！”玩弄和审视的目光灼烧着她，让她觉得自己只是别人用来找乐子的玩物。 她怒吼、挣扎，但无济于事。黑暗的日子里，只有那个头顶猫耳的身影向她伸出援手。也是那个身影，带她逃出这片地狱，却为了帮她断后而失去了音讯…… 克罗丽科从梦中惊醒。 她绝不要再成为任何人的玩物了。等她们再次相遇，她会变得更强大，强大到不会再失去任何一个重要的人——克罗丽科这样想着，看向指挥室的方向。 她一定会证明这一点。克罗丽科暗暗发誓。

Record 6I happened to pass by Krolik while walking down the hallway. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a book with an illustrated cover in her hand. "What are you reading?" I asked curiously. "Tsk. Nothing in particular. Just taking a look." She quickly tucked the book to her chest and paced away—a reaction that clearly betrayed her statement. The next day, I passed by the lounge and—somewhat surprisingly—saw Krolik reading the book by the window. I quietly observed her from a distance and managed to discern the title on the cover: "Fairy Tale Collection". "Eh? Vepley never asked Krolik to borrow any books for me," Vepley said, all puzzled. But I already had my answer. On the third evening, as Krolik returned to her room, I was already seated inside and waiting for her. "Uwah! Why are you—My book!" She snatched the fairy tale collection from my hands. Her expression shifted through a range of emotions so quickly that I couldn't help but chuckle. "My bad. I've been too busy to catch up with you lately. I didn't know you were into this kind of thing." "Tsk. I-I mean—What are you even doing here? Why haven't you gone to bed by now?" "Like I said, I'm just checking in on you after not having done so for a while." I sat down on the bed, patting the spot beside me for her to sit. "It's part of my duty as the Commander to be aware of everyone's well-being on board." She frowned and sat down beside me, keeping the book out of my reach. "Hmph. You could've asked me any other time. Why now, in the middle of the night? Just look at those bags under your eyes. What are you even thinking?" "I figured, since you enjoy fairy tales so much, maybe I can read you some before bed? You know, like a bedtime story. Or, we can chat a bit. But since you insist that I should get some rest—" I stood up and pretended to leave. "...Wait." As expected, she grabbed onto my hand and passed the fairy tale collection back to me. "Well... Since you're here already... I guess it's fine, then. Thanks." She reacted quickly and already lay down on her bed and gazed at me expectantly. I shook my head, sat back down, and opened the book. "A long, long time ago..."在走廊上，我和克罗丽科擦肩而过，我瞥见她手里似乎拿着一本封面有插画的书。 “在看什么？”我好奇地问。 “啧，没什么，随便看看。”她迅速将书藏在怀里走远的动作，看起来显然不“随便”。 第二天，我经过休息区，克罗丽科罕见地坐在窗边捧着书。隔着一段距离，我静静地观察着，辨别出封面上似乎有这么几个字——“童话精选集”。 “欸？维普蕾没有拜托克罗丽科帮忙借书哦。”维普蕾一脸的不解，但是我的心中有了答案。 第三天晚上，当克罗丽科回到自己的休息室时，我早已坐在她的房间内等候多时。 “啊，你怎么——我的书！”她一把将我手中拿着的那本童话精选集抢过去，脸上的表情迅速变换，让我忍俊不禁。 “怪我，最近太忙没有和你聊天，都不知道你原来喜欢读这个。” “啧，我——你来干什么？这个点还不去睡？” “像我刚刚说的，来久违地关心你一下。”我在床上坐下，拍拍身旁的空位，示意她也别站着了，“了解身边人的情况，也是我作为指挥官的职责之一嘛。” 她皱着眉在我身边坐下，仍然将书藏在远离我的一侧。“哼，想了解什么时候都行。黑眼圈都大成这样了还大晚上来，想什么呢。” “我想既然你喜欢看童话，不如在你休息前我来给你念念，当睡前故事，顺便聊聊好了。既然你觉得让我去休息更好的话……”我站起身作势要走。 “……等一下。”果不其然，她抓住了我的手。童话书被递到了我手里。 “来都来了，那就念念吧。谢了。”她动作倒是很快，翻身上床躺了下来，眼巴巴地盯着我。 我摇摇头坐回床边，打开精选集。 “很久很久以前……”

Record 7"Hey! Don't touch— Oh, it's you, Commander." Krolik frowned slightly before slowly turning away from me. From time to time, I couldn't help but reach out and touch Krolik's bunny ears, and she would always respond uncomfortably. Yet, through persistent pestering, she reluctantly came to accept my "offenses", but she still only allowed me to touch them for a brief moment. Even now, I had no idea what purpose those ears served. She once claimed they were necessary combat equipment—an explanation she knew I wouldn't buy, but still refused to elaborate further. To be honest, I was happy to leave it at that; after all, I was already the only one on the Elmo with the privilege to touch her ears. Just as that thought crossed my mind, my fingers began to itch again. Almost as if she sensed it telepathically, Krolik walked into the ops room. "Here." She stepped forward and handed me a small bag. I opened it—there was a bright red bunny ear headband inside. "Just something I made for fun," she said casually, but her foot tapped against the floor in a discrete rhythm. "Now we can be the same, and you can stop coming after mine all the time." "The same... What do you mean?" I ran my fingers along the headband. The ears were made by wrapping red cloth around metal wires; even though it wasn't the best craftsmanship, they were still firm enough to stand upright and even sway slightly with movement. There's a surprising liveliness to them. "Just put it on already!" I did as she said then observed myself through the reflection on the terminal screen, looking a little silly. "Now what?" "Now what? Now we're the same kind since we both have bunny ears! Tsk, still don't get it? On board the Elmo, the only one I—Anyway, there's only you!" Whenever Krolik tried to put on an impatient look, her left ear would twitch ever so slightly. It's quite amusing. "Does that mean... if I don't wear it, we're no longer the same?" "Hah? What are you—That's not how it works, you idiot!" "Well, since this is a token of your recognition, something this important shouldn't be worn too often. I should keep it somewhere safe—" "Hah?! Y-y-you—Tsk. Whatever!" She stomped around and stormed out of the room, leaving me behind. I quietly chuckled. Teasing her every now and then didn't seem like that bad of an idea.“喂！别摸——啊，是你啊指挥官。”克罗丽科皱了皱眉，又默默把身子转了回去。 偶尔我忍不住摸克罗丽科的兔耳时，她总是一副很排斥的样子，但随着我持之以恒的“冒犯”，她似乎也无奈接受了现实，但也只是允许我这么碰一下。我仍未知道兔耳的作用为何，必要作战装置什么的……她知道我并不相信这个借口，但并不打算做更多的解释。 也罢，给她留点空间吧，反正我已经是车上唯一能摸她兔耳的人了。 这么想着，手又痒了起来。仿佛心有灵犀一般，克罗丽科走进了指挥室。 “给。”她走上前，将手中袋子往前一递。我打开，里面是——一个红色的兔耳发箍。 “没事随便做的，”她脸上云淡风轻，脚上却小声地点着拍子，“这下我们就一样了。省的你老来摸我的。” “一样……什么意思？”我摩挲着发箍，兔耳是用红布裹着铁丝缠出来的，虽然有点简陋，但能立住，还能跟随动作上下晃动，倒是有几分灵动的感觉。 “总之你先戴上！” 我照做了，然后看向面前工作台屏幕中倒映的自己，感觉有点滑稽。“然后呢？” “然后？然后我们就都有兔耳，就是同类了！啧，还不懂？这辆车上，能和我一样……能被我——总之，只有你而已啊！” 克罗丽科强装不耐烦的时候，左边的兔耳总是会抽动几下，很有意思。 “那要是不戴的话，就不是同类了吗？” “哈？你怎么——才不是这样好吧！” “既然是你认同我的证明，这么重要的东西，我得好好放起来才行，不能常戴——” “哈？你、你——啧，随便你！”她跺了跺脚，气冲冲地离开了，留下我在原地轻笑。 偶尔逗逗她，也挺有趣的呢。

Record 8In my hand was a small device with a button on top of it. It was adorned with a crudely drawn, angry-looking bunny. According to Krolik, it's a remote that could be used to "summon" her whenever her presence was needed. "I'm usually very busy, so don't get any funny ideas!" She reminded me again after instructing me to retrieve it from the central hub. This girl... Couldn't she have just handed it to me herself? Why jump through all these hoops...? Was that her way of saying I should only use it when I find myself in hot water? I inspected the small gadget thoughtfully, then slipped it into my pocket. During the days that followed, I never really found a situation that called for its use. Krolik was by my side almost 24/7, and the Elmo as a whole enjoyed a rare period of tranquility. There simply wasn't a circumstance that warranted the usage of the button, and I eventually forgot it was even a thing. Though, I still carried it on me out of habit. I was only reminded of its existence when Krolik came one day to question why I hadn't used the device even a single time. It wasn't until then that I thought to give it a check, only to discover it now had a chipped corner from a bump or something—it was no longer functioning. "How could you just leave it broken like that! What if you got into actual danger?!" Krolik looked genuinely pissed. "Sorry... I figured that things have been quiet lately, so I didn't bother to fix it right away..." I scratched my head, a little guilty of my excuse. "Just because it's been quiet these days doesn't mean you can't use it! Or is it that you don't need me anymore?" "Didn't you say you're usually very busy?" "I meant—Tsk. Forget about it." "Really? Then I'll just keep holding onto it as it is?" "You...! Why don't you get it... What I meant was—even if I'm busy, I made this for you, so—" She fell silent again, her red cheeks puffed up out of frustration in an oddly endearing way. "It's atypical of you to beat around the bush like this." "Hmph." She snatched the device from my hand. "I'll get it fixed and bring it back later. Just remember—use it when you need to! Even if... even if I'm busy!" With that, she turned around sharply and stormed off, perhaps to prevent me from noticing the blush on her face. So... Did she mean to say no matter how busy she is, she'll make time just for me? Well, if that's the case, I needed to properly compliment her once she returned with the remote.我手中拿着一个小小的按钮装置，上边张牙舞爪地画了个凶凶的兔子。 据克罗丽科说，这是个可以“召唤”她的感应器，需要她时就可以使用。“我平时可是很忙的！”她交代完去中枢区拿这个感应器之后，又补充了这么一句。 这家伙……就不能亲自交给我吗，还得拐这么个大弯……这句话是说，让我尽量在遇到危险时才用它吗？我掂量着这个小玩意，收进口袋里。 只是之后，我一直都没有找到需要用到感应器的时机。克罗丽科总是和我一起行动，而最近基地车也难得过上了几天太平日子，似乎没有什么用它的必要。我逐渐淡忘了它的存在，不过还是习惯性地随身带着它。 于是等克罗丽科来质问我为什么一次都没用过感应器时，我才想起来检查，并发现不知何时，这个感应器被我撞掉了一角，已经失灵了。 “怎么能放着不管！遇到危险怎么办！”克罗丽科看起来很是生气。 “抱歉，我想着最近挺太平的，就没立刻修理，耽搁了一下……”我略有些心虚地挠挠头。 “太平了就不能用了吗？还是说你用不上我了？” 嗯？可是……“你不是说你平时很忙吗？” “我的意思是——啧，算了，没什么。” “真的？那我就先放着它不管咯？” “你……！怎么就是不懂……我是说，我就算很忙也给你做了这个，所以——”她又沉默了，脸上气鼓鼓的，倒显得有点可爱。 “有话不直说，这可不像你哦。” “哼。”她一把拿过感应器，“等我拿去修好了，会再给你送过来的。记住，有需要就用！就算……就算我忙也可以！”她一转身大步流星地走了，急匆匆地，试图不让我看见她脸上的红晕。 所以……那句话的意思是，就算再忙，她也愿意为了我用心吗？ 也好，等她把感应器送回来的时候，好好夸夸她吧。
