Chairman's Vassal 1 首席眷属1

(Late at night after working overtime, with sleep still eluding me, I find myself wandering into the lounge.)（加班后的深夜，我暂无睡意，不知不觉漫步到了休息区。）

(With only dim lights illuminating the hallway, faint noises drift out of Lenna's dorm room into the otherwise complete silence.)（走廊上的氛围灯光已经暗下，安静之中，只有莱娜的休息室里隐约传来响动。）

LennaHey-hey♪ Can you hear me? Simulator No. 996?嗨嗨♪能听见我说话吗？模拟机996号？

Lenna...Weird. Lost connection already?……好奇怪，信号已经断掉了吗……

(I knock on Lenna's door.)（我敲了敲莱娜休息室的门。）

CommanderLenna?莱娜？

LennaYay! It's back online♪ Let's try again!唔哦！好像又连上了♪再来一次！

(Lenna's muttering can be heard from inside the room; she is completely oblivious to the knocking.)（室内传来莱娜的自言自语，莱娜完全没有注意到敲门声。）

(I then push open the door myself.)（我只能自己推开门。）

Lenna...Good job, Simulator No. 996! Now it's your turn to transmit the data back. You've got to succeed♪……干得好，模拟机996号！现在轮到你回传数据啦，一定要成功哦♪

(With her VR helmet on, Lenna is fully immersed in her world. A pile of design blueprints is scattered on the table right beside her.)（屋子里的莱娜戴着头盔，沉浸其中，身边的桌面上铺散着一些设计图纸。）

LennaUh-oh! I don't think I'm actually syncing—I'm just taking over No. 996's control.不，不对！这好像不是同步，这是直接夺取了模拟机996号的控制权呀。

LennaOh no! W-what are these error messages and crash logs... I-I can't turn it off? W-what should I do...咦咦咦！报错、报错、全是报错……退不出去了？怎、怎么办……

(For some reason, Lenna starts flailing around frantically.)（不知为何，套着头盔的莱娜有些慌乱地挥舞起手臂。）

(Bonk. Her wrist hits the corner of the table, and she gasps instinctively.)（“咚”的一声，莱娜的手腕撞到了桌子边缘，莱娜下意识地倒抽口气。）

(I step in and help Lenna remove the helmet.)（我上前，帮助莱娜摘下了头盔。）

LennaWhew! I'm saved! Thank you so much...呜哇！得救了！多谢好心……

LennaC-Commander♪指、指挥官♪

(Perhaps because I just helped her escape some sort of impending disaster, Lenna's eyes sparkle as she excitedly holds my hands.)（或许是因为我刚帮她从某种事故中脱身，莱娜双眼闪亮，格外激动地握住我的双手。）

(With her small hands and chilling fingertips, I can almost feel the faint warmth of her palms even through the gloves.)（她的手小小的，指尖有些凉意。隔着护手，隐约能感觉到她掌心恰到好处的温度。）

LennaCommander♪ Thank goodness you showed up!指挥官♪幸亏你出现了！

LennaI thought for sure I was done for and that it would be days before anyone came to my rescue...刚才我还以为这回完蛋了，要等到几天后才会被发现呢……

CommanderReally? Don't Kalina and Leva usually check in with you every day?不至于吧，格林娜和莱娅不是经常会联系你吗？

LennaWell, they're both busy with their own work. Plus, I'm on vacation now!家人们都有自己的工作要忙碌啦，而且我最近几天在休假哦！

LennaRight! I haven't welcomed you yet. Please, have a seat, Commander. Is there a reason you came here so late at night?对了！还没有欢迎指挥官呢，请坐。这么晚了，指挥官你找我有什么事呀？

(Lenna pulls me toward the only chair in the room, then jumps onto the bed herself and sits on its edge.)（莱娜将我拉到唯一的椅子上，自己则跳上了床，坐到床边。）

LennaLet me guess♪ Is it to ask me out? If it's with you, Commander, I've got all the time in the world!让我来猜一猜♪是约会邀请吗？如果是指挥官的话，我永远有时间的哦！

CommanderUmm. I just happened to notice the commotion in your room while passing by since I couldn't sleep.呃，我只是睡不着路过，听见你的房间里有动静。

CommanderAnd you? Why aren't YOU in hibernation at this hour?这么晚了，你怎么不休眠？

LennaHehe. I need to spend my precious vacation time on... Well, that's Lenna's secret♪嘿嘿，我要用宝贵的假期做一点……不对不对，这是莱娜的秘密♪

(Lenna quickly covers her mouth and shakes her head, making sure she doesn't accidentally blurt out her little secret.)（莱娜赶紧捂住嘴摇了摇头，似乎生怕忍不住说出这个秘密。）

CommanderI see. But even so, don't forget to hibernate and perform your maintenance checks regularly.原来如此，即使有自己的计划也要记得定期休眠检修。

LennaYes, yes♪ I will, Commander! So don't worry about it!嗯嗯♪我会的，指挥官放心好啦！

(Lenna nods energetically and lowers her hands. She then pauses for a moment, looking quite conflicted.)（莱娜用力点点头，双手放了下来。但她沉默了一秒，似乎又陷入了纠结。）

Lenna...Well, I guess it can't hurt to tell you; you're the Commander after all. And the simulation test has failed yet again...……唔唔，其实告诉指挥官也没关系吧？毕竟是指挥官，毕竟模拟试验又又又失败了……

(Seeing Lenna's troubled expression, I let out a sigh.)（看着莱娜困扰的样子，我叹了口气。）

CommanderFeel free to tell me about your secret plan if you need any help, Lenna. I promise I'll keep it just between us.莱娜，如果你的秘密计划不顺利，可以找我倾诉，我会帮你一起保密。

CommanderI can't sleep anyway, so there's plenty of time to figure out what's wrong together.正好睡不着，我现在有充足的时间和你一起面对烦恼。

LennaUhh...唔……

(Lenna wrestles with herself for a moment, then clenches her fists in determination.)（莱娜心里挣扎了片刻，最后下定决心般地握了握拳。）

LennaThe truth is, I'm trying to develop a special signal plugin during this vacation, Commander.指挥官，其实我这次休假是想要开发一个特别的信号插件。

LennaIt's something I've been drawing up for a long time...为了这个插件，我已经构思了很久……

CommanderSpecial signal plugin?特别的信号插件？

LennaYep! An all-weather, unrestricted, long-distance communication plugin that will let me stay in touch with my family.嗯！一个……可以全天候、无限制、超远距离和家人们保持私密通信的插件。

(Lenna seems to have mustered all her courage to squeeze these words out. After finishing, she closes her eyes, not daring to see my reaction.)（莱娜似乎鼓足了全部勇气才说出来，随后她就闭上了眼，不敢看我的反应。）

Commander...Huh?……啊？

Lenna...Ehh? You're not going to dismiss it? Or make fun of me?……咦咦？否定呢？嘲笑呢？

LennaI pitched this idea to Persica and Dier before, only to be made fun of for my naivety! They were so inconsiderate! That's why I didn't want to share it anymore.先前我有向帕斯卡和德尔稍微提过这个想法，他们都毫不留情地说我是异想天开。真是……太气人啦！所以我才不想再说起这件事的。

LennaThe fact that you didn't dismiss my idea outright is almost making me tear up, Commander.指挥官没有立刻否定我的想法，我都有点感动了呢。

CommanderPfffft. I can see where Persica and Dier are coming from. Honestly, you shouldn't get your hopes up, because as far as my understanding of modern technology goes, no one has been able to invent such a thing yet.哈哈哈，帕斯卡和德尔的反应也可以理解。你要做好心理准备。根据我对现有科技的了解，这样的插件应该还没有人做出来过。

LennaYeah, yeah! I know how challenging it's going to be, but I really, really need it!嗯嗯！我知道这个是很难的。可是，我真的、真的很需要它！

CommanderMay I ask why you're so insistent? What do you hope to accomplish with such a plugin?我可以问问你坚持的原因吗？想要这样的插件来做什么？

LennaHehe♪ Well...嘿嘿♪这个嘛……

LennaPart of the reason is that, since everyone in 404 now has their own duties and responsibilities unlike before, it's not always possible to get in touch when I miss them.有一部分原因是，现在的404和以前不太一样，大家都有各自的工作和职责，想念大家的时候也不是随时都能见到彼此。

LennaThat includes you, Commander... Even when you're on my mind constantly, there's nothing I can do to convey my longing.还有指挥官的事……明明一直在想念，却什么也无法传达。

LennaAfter experiencing all that, it's only natural for me to want the family to be more tightly knit, right? Don't you think so, Commander?经历过这些之后，我想要更多地与家人们联系在一起也很合理吧？你觉得呢？指挥官？

(Lenna's tone gradually grows gloomier, and she wraps up her sentence by throwing me a wistful gaze.)（莱娜的语气逐渐低落，最后幽幽地看着我。）

(Despite her not placing any blame, I can't shake this strange sense of guilt.)（她明明没有说出任何指责，我却莫名有点愧疚。）

CommanderWell, we'll be seeing each other a lot in the future, so let the past stay in the past.呃，你以后要见我就容易多了，过去的就让它过去吧。

LennaDon't you think you should give the lonely and desolate Lenna some consolation at a time like this, Commander?这个时候，指挥官是不是应该给落寞孤独的莱娜一点安慰呢？

(I hesitantly reach out and pat Lenna's shoulder heavily.)（我犹豫地伸出手，重重拍了拍莱娜的肩头。）

LennaIs this enough?只是这样就足够了吗？

LennaCommander♪ My neural records tell me that, even ignoring the seconds-long recalls, I've been missing you for a solid few thousand hours!指挥官♪我的心智记录告诉我，即便忽略不计几秒时长的短时回溯，我也想念了你几千个小时呢！

(I ponder for a moment, open my arms, and give Lenna a hug.)（我想了想，张开双臂，给了莱娜一个拥抱。）

(Lenna snuggles up against me, then suddenly looks up with a smile, showing no trace of her earlier gloom.)（莱娜在我怀里蹭了蹭，忽然抬起头，面带笑容，一点看不见刚才的低落。）

LennaYay♪ Now I'm satisfied!耶♪满足啦！

LennaHehe, Commander. What I just said was all made up... Actually, that melancholic look specifically was just an act.嘿嘿，指挥官，刚才的话不是真的……不对，应该说我刚才的伤心不是真的。

LennaIt's not every day that you come to see me, Commander, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to you.指挥官难得来找我，我只是想要找个机会亲近一下指挥官啦。

Commander...I'm glad you're okay.……你没事就好。

LennaAhem, let's get back to where I left off.咳嗯，那我接着说下去了哦。

LennaMy past self feared and dreaded changes and separations within the family. I was afraid that everyone would slowly drift apart, leaving me behind, and that eventually, I would have no home to return to...以前的我，确实曾经为家人们的改变和分离而担忧和恐惧过，我害怕大家渐行渐远，把我丢在后面，慢慢的我就没有家了……

CommanderSo, DID they leave you behind?那么，她们丢下你了吗？

(I ask, though we both already know the answer.)（我明知故问。）

LennaHehe, of course not! Just look at me now—Miss Kalin's capable and helpful assistant.嘿嘿，当然没有啦！现在的我可是能干的、有用的——格琳姐的得力小助手。

LennaLooking back, I was indeed being paranoid. The 404 family didn't drift apart just because we were physically separated. And you were not trying to distance yourself from me either, Commander!现在看来，之前是我多虑了。404的家人们并没有因为分别而变得生疏冷漠，指挥官也没有冷淡我呢！

CommanderYou've indeed matured and become more independent.你也成长了，变得更独立了。

LennaGosh! Of course I had to grow up; otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep up with the family. But that's not what I want to get across.哎呀！要追上家人们的脚步，自己当然也要有所成长，这不是我想要解释的重点。

LennaWhat I'm trying to say is... even though times change, some feelings remain the same.我只是想说，即便时过境迁，也有些心情是从未改变过的。

LennaSay, hmm... you, Commander!举个例子来说，嗯……就用指挥官举例吧！

CommanderMe?我吗？

LennaAlthough I can now rationalize that the "temporary separation" was the right decision, back then, I simply couldn't control my longing when I had the excess computing power to overthink it...虽然现在的我理性上可以理解“暂别”才是最恰当的决定，但是我呀，根本控制不了算力有富余时的思念呢……

LennaI couldn't help but wonder if things were going well for you and if your journey was safe. When I encountered something interesting at work, I'd think, "The Commander would definitely be interested," immediately followed by, "I can't wait to share this with the Commander!"我会忍不住想指挥官，事务是否顺利，旅途是否平安。在工作中遇见了有趣的东西时也是，我会想指挥官一定会对这个感兴趣，接着就恨不得立刻分享给指挥官一起看！

LennaOnly if I could invent some sort of real-time synchronization plugin, then I'd be able to "solve" my longing by transcending the barrier of the physical world.如果我可以发明出全时同步插件，或许就能超越现实空间的阻碍“解决”我的思念了。

CommanderAn unexpected reason, but it does sound like something you'd come up with.真是意想不到的理由，不过，很像你会说出的话。

LennaEhe♪ If I can get it working, I'll be able to better understand your needs and help out more promptly. Miss Kalin, Leva, and everyone at 404 too♪ If only we could all be connected.哎嘿♪要是成功的话，就能更好地理解你、察觉你的需要了吧？然后，我就能更及时地帮上忙。还有莱娅姐、格琳姐、404的大家，要是能全部连接起来就好了♪。

CommanderIt's indeed an interesting idea, but I've got to say... based on what I know of Leva, hmm...想法很有意思，不过……不得不提，以我对莱娅的了解，呃……

LennaYes? What's up with Leva?莱娅姐怎么啦？

CommanderAre you sure you don't want to get her opinion before you continue with the development?继续开发之前，你要不要先确认一下莱娅的态度？

CommanderI reckon it would be quite challenging to get Leva to sign up for a real-time synchronization plugin.要让莱娅接受使用全时同步插件，或许不是那么容易的事。

LennaOh! ...That's true!咦！……对哦！

(Lenna pauses, seemingly lost in her inner turmoil as her facial expression shifts rapidly.)（莱娜愣了愣，不知想到了什么，表情变化十分丰富。）

LennaYou're right. Convincing Leva will certainly be just as challenging, if not more so, than creating the plugin in the first place! Ugh!确实，攻克莱娅姐的技术难度……很可能不亚于把插件做出来！呃啊！

(Lenna clutches her head.)（莱娜抱住了脑袋。）

(I take the opportunity to hand the blanket beside me to Lenna.)（我趁机将一旁的被子搬到莱娜面前。）

CommanderAll right, it's getting late.好了，时间不早了。

CommanderWith so many challenges ahead, it's time for you to get some good rest tonight so you'll be fully recharged for tomorrow's hard work!既然还有这么多难关要解决，今晚就养养精气神，明天再继续努力吧！

LennaUh-oh! You've got a point, Commander.唔，唔哦！指挥官说的也有道理。

(Under my urging gaze, Lenna complies and lies down.)（莱娜在我的眼神催促下老实地躺平。）

LennaCommander, would you mind tucking me in... Yep, yep! And the lights too...指挥官，麻烦帮我盖上……嗯嗯，对！还有灯也关掉吧……

CommanderGood night, Lenna.晚安，莱娜。

LennaHehe! It almost feels unreal to hear you say goodnight to me, Commander!嘿嘿！能听见指挥官你亲口对我说晚安，像做梦一样呢！

LennaGood night to you too, Commander♪祝你也做个好梦，指挥官♪

Chairman's Vassal 2 首席眷属2

(One morning, I walk into the ops room, ready to start the day's schedule.)（某个适合工作的上午，我走进指挥室，准备开始一天的日程。）

(Sitting in my usual chair, I sense that something is off.)（坐在惯用的椅子上，我却总觉得哪里不对劲。）

CommanderDid I just... step on something?……好像踢到了什么？

(I look under the table and see Lenna sleeping soundly, her arms wrapped around her knees.)（我低头看向桌子的下方，竟然发现莱娜抱着膝盖呼呼大睡。）

Commander...Lenna?……莱娜？

LennaPlease wait a second. Let me hang up this call with the Commander first... Uhh, Commander...等一等，让我先和指挥官通讯完……唔，指挥官……

(With her eyelids closed, Lenna quietly mutters a string of nonsensical babble. I gently pat her on the head.)（莱娜闭着眼，说着意义不明的话。我轻轻拍了拍莱娜的头。）

Lenna...Whoa! Commander! I-I fell asleep!……呜哇！指挥官！我、我睡着了！

CommanderWhat are you doing here?你怎么会睡在这里？

LennaI wanted to give you a little "surprise", but it looks like I fell asleep first. Hehe...本来想给指挥官一点“惊喜”的，结果一不小心就进入了休眠，嘿嘿……

(Lenna smiles, embarrassed. Though it may be my imagination, I sense that her smile is somewhat reluctant.)（莱娜不好意思地笑了笑，或许是错觉，我感觉她的笑容有些勉强。）

CommanderWhat's the matter? You seem to have something on your mind.怎么了？你好像有什么心事。

LennaUgh...唔……

(Lenna's smile fades completely. Her head gently droops before she dives dejectedly into my arms.)（莱娜的笑容垮了下来，她微垂下脑袋，有点失魂落魄地钻进我怀里。）

(Unlike her "act" from before, I can clearly feel her bewilderment and helplessness this time.)（与上次的小小诡计不同，这一次，我能确实地感受到莱娜的无措。）

LennaDo you remember the real-time synchronization plugin I told you about, Commander?指挥官还记得上次我说的全时同步插件的事吗？

CommanderI do. Did Leva refuse to go along with your idea?记得。莱娅不愿意配合你吗？

Lenna(Sigh) You were completely right, Commander. Her reaction was almost word-for-word what you predicted...唉，指挥官说的话一点都不错呢，莱娅姐的反应完全不出指挥官的意料嘛。

LennaI forgot to ask last time because we were focused on Leva, but... what are YOUR thoughts on this, Commander?上一次指挥官你只说了莱娅姐的事，我都忘记问了，指挥官是怎么看待插件的呀？

LennaWould you be willing to stay connected with me at all times?如果是指挥官你，会愿意跟我保持全时连接吗？

(Lenna buries her face deeper in my chest, her voice muffled.)（莱娜把脸埋在我胸前，传出的声音闷闷的。）

CommanderHmm...呃……

(Lenna's evident bad mood makes me hesitate to answer. Instead, I pat her on the head and choose to deflect the topic for now.)（莱娜显而易见的坏心情让我有点犹豫，我摸了摸莱娜的脑袋，决定还是先转移一下话题。）

CommanderDid something happen between you and Leva?话说回来，你和莱娅，发生了什么吗？

LennaNothing serious, it's bound to happen at some point.也没有什么大不了的，反正迟早会发生的啦。

LennaI just accidentally slipped up about developing the plugin during a call, and...我和莱娅姐通讯的时候，不小心暴露了我在开发全时通讯插件的事，然后……

(Lenna chokes up and begins treating me like a giant plushie, tightening her hug even more.)（莱娜的声音有点哽咽，她像是把我当成了一只巨型玩偶，勒得更紧了。）

LennaLeva... was so heartless! Cruel! She rejected my idea outright...莱娅姐她……好无情！好冷淡！好坚决地拒绝了我……

(Lenna's voice carries a hint of grievance, so I gently stroke her back to soothe her.)（莱娜的声音透着委屈，我轻拍着莱娜的背，帮她调整心情。）

LennaI'm not sure what to do now, Commander.指挥官，我现在有点不知道怎么办好了。

LennaIf the purpose of my synchronization plugin is to close the "distance" between users, yet no one wants or even needs it... then what is the point of my effort?全时通讯插件的本意是拉近使用者之间的“距离”，如果大家都不愿意也不需要的话……那我还有什么必要完成它呢？

LennaYet if I give up on it, what else can I do to substitute for it?可是，如果放弃这份研究，我还能做些什么来替代插件的功能？

CommanderYour goal is to keep the family closely knit, right? We humans have many other ways to achieve that...莱娜的目的是维系家人之间的亲密感吗？如果是人类，也有很多其他的方式……

LennaYeah! Can you share some insights with me?嗯嗯！指挥官，你可以给我一些建议吗？

CommanderEven for humans, no family stays bonded together for life.人类的家人也不一定会一生都待在一起。

CommanderHowever, as a good "family" often has shared thoughts and beliefs, they tend to make similar judgments when faced with comparable dilemmas.不过，因为一个好的“家族”对事物的认知和观念往往趋同，面对相似境遇时做出的判断也类似。

CommanderAnd it's these decisions that end up leading every member in the same direction and, as the paths converge, eventually back together.这些选择会把大家带往相同的方向，最后殊途同归、重新相聚。

LennaI'm having trouble wrapping my head around all that... But for some reason, listening to your words makes my neural cloud feel warm, Commander♪有点难懂呢……不过，不知道为什么，听了指挥官的话，我的心智感觉很温暖♪

LennaAh. Have I interrupted you? Please continue.啊，好像打断了指挥官，请继续说吧。

(Lenna seems to be slowly calming down.)（莱娜的心情似乎正在逐渐平复。）

CommanderAlthough it's unrealistic to maintain that connection in the material world, I believe everyone's spirit and aspirations can remain "connected".虽然在物质世界中保持连接不太现实，但我认为，大家的精神和追求是可以“连在一起”的。

(Lenna looks up at me, her eyes sparkling once again.)（莱娜抬起头，双眼亮了起来。）

LennaWhat should I do then? How can I get the family to stay "connected"?要怎么做呢？怎么做才可以和家人“连在一起”？

(I try to come up with suggestions that are easy to implement.)（我试着提供易于实现的建议。）

CommanderIf you ask me, I think items with symbolic meaning would suffice.我的话，或许提供一些象征物就可以？

CommanderSay you craft something that symbolizes yourself, Lenna, then every time I see it, I will be reminded of you and the support you're giving me.如果莱娜能制作一些象征莱娜自己的东西，我在看见它们的时候，就会想起莱娜，也一起想起莱娜给我的支持了。

LennaIs that so? That's much simpler than I thought♪这样吗？比想象中的要简单呢♪

(Lenna ponders for a moment, her expression softening.)（莱娜思考了片刻，表情舒展了几分。）

(I can't help but take the chance to pinch her cheeks.)（我忍不住捏了捏莱娜的脸。）

LennaUwuhhh, Com-man-der♪ It's difficult to talk like this!唔唔，指——挥——官♪这样很难发音说话的！

(Lenna shakes her head to dodge my hands.)（莱娜甩着脑袋躲开我的手。）

(As our eyes meet, Lenna's familiar, genuine smile finally returns to her.)（四目相对，真正的笑容终于重新回到莱娜的脸上。）

LennaYou must be some kind of wizard, Commander—somehow you always manage to make me feel happy and relieved in no time...指挥官好像会什么神奇的魔法哦，总是很快就能让我感到快乐和轻松……

LennaThank you for consoling me and giving me advice, Commander♪.谢谢你安慰我，给我建议，指挥官♪。

LennaI'll carefully consider your suggestion... Actually, I already have some ideas popping up. Hehe♪我会好好考虑这个建议……其实刚才已经有一些想法了，嘿嘿♪

CommanderYou're more than welcome. Are you feeling better now?不用谢。你现在感觉好点了吗？

LennaYep! Thanks to you, Commander!嗯嗯！多亏了指挥官！

LennaAh... Is it your working hours already? I've been bothering you for too long!啊……现在已经是指挥官的工作时间了？我打扰得太久啦！

CommanderIt's fine.没关系的。

LennaCommander♪ No need to worry about me when you go back to work!指挥官♪请安心工作吧！

LennaI'll go and carefully draw up my "new plan". Hehe!我这就回去，再仔细想想我的“新计划”，嘿嘿！

(Lenna lets go of me and hops out of the ops room gleefully.)（莱娜从我身上跳下来，轻快地离开了指挥室。）

Chairman's Vassal 3 首席眷属3

(Late at night, the lights in Lenna's dorm are still on.)（深夜，莱娜休息室里的灯依然亮着。）

(I'm a little worried that she still hasn't given up on that synchronization plugin of hers.)（我有点担心，她该不会还没放弃全时同步插件吧？）

CommanderLenna, it's getting late.莱娜，现在很晚了哦。

(I knock on her door.)（我敲了敲莱娜的房门。）

LennaCommander? I'm coming, just a sec♪指挥官？来啦，请稍等♪

(Lenna's cheerful voice drifts out from inside the room.)（屋子里传来莱娜轻快的声音。）

LennaYou haven't gone to rest yet, Commander? Did you just finish some overtime work? Come on in♪指挥官还没有休息呀？是刚加班结束吗？快进来♪

(This time, it's no longer a pile of blueprints scattered on Lenna's table, but rather an assortment of handicraft tools.)（这次莱娜的桌上放着的不再是各种图纸，而是一套手工工具。）

(Noticing my gaze, she also turns to look at the table.)（莱娜意识到我的目光，也看向桌上。）

LennaCommander, I've officially given up on that "Lenna's Big Family's Real-time Synchronization Plugin" thing.指挥官，我彻底放弃“莱娜大家庭”全时同步起来的计划了。

LennaIn its place, the new plan is—Ta-dah!变更后的新计划是——当当！

(Lenna shoves me into her chair and wheels me around so I can get a closer look at her toolset.)（莱娜把我按到椅子上，推着椅子让我细看她的工具套装。）

LennaIt's now "Lenna's Labor of Love Giveaway"!“莱娜的心意之作大放送”计划！

CommanderHahaha. What does that even mean?哈哈哈，那是什么？

LennaWell, you know... after carefully considering your suggestion, I started experimenting with handicrafts.就是……我认真考虑了指挥官你的建议之后，就开始试着做手工了。

LennaI put all my heart and soul into the creation of these little things. Hopefully, that will let my longing reach the family properly. Hehe♪我在制作的时候，会认真地把心意注入到我的作品里，希望我的挂念能好好传递给家人们，嘿嘿♪

CommanderSounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure it will work out.很有趣，一定可以的。

LennaI've already figured out the way to go about it—spare parts and supplies for Dolls...我已经想好了，人形的素体维护耗材……

LennaI can make a special edition of items like electrical tape and metal putty—all marked with "Lenna's Family"—and hand them out to everyone. What a thoughtful and practical idea♪像是什么金属补丁胶带之类的，都可以印上“莱娜家族”的记号，做成特别版耗材再分发给大家，又有心意又实用♪

(Lenna shows me the result of her hard work, but soon her gaze shifts to me, accompanied by a sly smile.)（莱娜向我展示起她的小手工，但很快，她的目光落在我身上，露出了狡黠的笑。）

LennaHehe♪ Surprise~ I just took advantage of the moment you were distracted and left a "Lenna's Token" on you!嘿嘿♪其实刚才，我已经趁指挥官你不注意，在你身上留下一个“莱娜的心意”记号啦！

LennaGo ahead and try to find where it is, Commander~指挥官要不要找找看呀？

(I look down and check myself, but can't find anything unusual.)（我低头检查自己，并没有发现什么异常。）

(Lenna's grin grows wider. She pats my right shoulder while giggling. I reach after her, but nothing's there.)（莱娜的笑容更深了，笑嘻嘻地拍了拍我的右肩。我跟着摸过去，什么也没有。）

LennaOh my! I misremembered! It's actually... HERE.哎嘿！是我记错啦，其实在……这里。

(Lenna leans into my left cheek and gently pats my shoulder. But when I reach after her, there's still nothing there.)（莱娜又凑到我的左脸边，轻轻拍了拍我左肩。但我跟着摸过去，依然什么也没有。）

CommanderYou're making it hard for me to believe that you "misremembered".你这样，很难让我相信你是“记错”。

Lenna...Come on, Commander! Can't you just play along? It's for real this time, over here♪……哎呀，指挥官就不能配合一下嘛！这次是真的，贴在这里了哦♪

(Lenna lightly taps my lower back. As I reach out, I finally feel a small object there.)（莱娜轻盈地拍了拍我的后腰，我这才摸到那里多了一个小物件。）

LennaLet me get it for you, Commander♪指挥官，我帮你取下来看哦♪

(Lenna removes the mysterious handicraft and hands it to me; turns out, it's a velcro patch.)（莱娜取下那个神秘小手工递给我，原来是一个魔术贴胶章。）

CommanderThis design... it's "Lenna wearing a heart"?这个图案……是“莱娜顶着爱心”的意思？

LennaHehe. The fact that you got its meaning right off the bat means my feelings have successfully reached you, Commander!嘿嘿，指挥官能明白，这说明我的心意有传达出去呢！

LennaIt's actually "Lenna's always thinking about you"! I designed the patch myself. Pretty neat, huh?是“莱娜一直想着你”的意思哦！这个图案是我自己设计的，怎么样，不错吧？

CommanderIt's very cute, and certainly very "Lenna".很可爱，很莱娜。

LennaWoah. Everyone else must love it too if even the Commander approves of it.哇，指挥官能喜欢的话，大家应该也不会拒绝。

LennaThen I'll go ahead and make a few more without worry. I want Miss Kalin, Leva, and everyone else in 404 to all have their own "Lenna's Family" trinket.那我就放心多做几个啦，我想让莱娅姐、格琳姐、还有404的大家都戴上这个“莱娜大家庭”图案的小物件。

CommanderThat sounds like a lot of work. You really do care deeply about your family.要费不少功夫吧？莱娜很重视家人呢。

LennaThat goes without saying!那是当然的啦！

LennaI used to believe that it was pointless for Dolls to possess their own defined character and self-awareness, since we were meant to be tools—and tools are naturally neglected and suppressed by their human managers...我曾经以为人形们都是被当作工具对待的，作为人形就算有明确的态度或者自我意识也没有用处，反正一定会被人类管理者无视和打压……

LennaIt was "family" that brought me out of that abyss, opening the door to a brand-new world for me.是“家人”带我离开了那样的环境呢，像是打开了新世界的大门一样。

CommanderIt's when Leva saved you from those Doll traffickers, right? I know that story.救你的是莱娅吧？我知道你们的事。

LennaYep! Now there are so many more members in the family. It was by your side that my heart felt warmth for the first time.嗯嗯！现在的我已经拥有不少家人啦，在你们身边，我的心智才第一次感受到温暖。

LennaAs such, I also want to bring that same warmth to everyone. Hehe.所以，我也想要给大家带来同样的温暖，嘿嘿。

(On that note, Lenna is suddenly reminded of something.)（说到这里，莱娜突然想起了什么。）

LennaBy the way, Commander♪ Is there anything else you've been eyeing lately? I want to do more for you...对了，指挥官♪指挥官最近有什么想要的东西吗？我还想为指挥官多做一点……

CommanderHmm? But didn't I just get something—See, this "Lenna's Token".嗯？我已经有胶章了啊。这个，“莱娜的心意”。

(I wave around the velcro patch that Lenna stuck and then removed from me earlier.)（我挥了挥刚才莱娜贴在我身上又取下的魔术贴胶章。）

LennaIt's got to be more than just that! That one is part of the "family mark" that every member shares.不止要有这个啦！这是家人们都一样的“家族印记”。

LennaOther than that, I want to make something truly special and unique for you.除了这个之外，我还想为指挥官做点独一无二的、特殊的东西。

LennaBecause you are a special part of the family to me...因为指挥官对我来说是非常特殊的家人……

(Lenna stutters, the tips of her shoes subconsciously digging into the floor. Her expression, though confused, carries a hint of inexplicable shyness.)（莱娜顿了顿，脚尖下意识地在地板上蹭了蹭，表情困惑中又带着几分莫名的害羞。）

LennaEh? You must be wondering why YOU are special... That's simply what my neural cloud is telling me, even though I still can't fully grasp how the algorithms work or how this conclusion was reached.咦？为什么指挥官是非常特殊的呢……虽然我的心智这样告诉我，但我其实并不明白这其中的算法和逻辑，也不理解这个结论的由来。

(Before I can say something, Lenna has already adjusted herself.)（不等我说话，莱娜又自己调适过来。）

LennaHehe♪ I have a feeling, even though I don't quite understand it yet...哎嘿♪我有一种预感，虽然现在我还不太明白……

LennaPerhaps I will be able to share a closer connection with you and discover the whole truth after I make a unique gift for you, Commander.或许，在为指挥官你制作独一无二的礼物时，我就能感受到和指挥官之间更紧密的连接，找到所有的真相了。

LennaLet's just say it's purely to help me clear up my confusion—Please tell me what you like, Commander!指挥官，就算是为了解决我的困惑，请一定要告诉我你的偏好！

(Lenna holds my hand and gives me a look that says she's determined to get to the bottom of this.)（莱娜握住我的手摇了摇，露出追根究底的表情。）

LennaCommander! I won't let you walk out of here anytime soon unless you "spill it out like a good boy"!指挥官！要是不“老实交代”的话，我是不会轻易地让你离开这里的哦！

CommanderAhaha. Give me a second to think about it...哈哈哈，让我想想……

(Under Lenna's scrutinizing gaze, I come up with a list of accessories that humans may find useful.)（在莱娜火热的注视下，我提议她可以制作一些人类可用的配饰。）

(Meanwhile, Lenna nods attentively.)（莱娜认真地连连点头。）

LennaUh-hm! I've got them all noted, Commander!嗯嗯嗯！指挥官，我都记下来了！

LennaRest assured, I'll surely make something you'll be satisfied with.请放心，我一定会做出让你满意的好东西的。

CommanderAm I free to go now?现在我可以恢复自由了吗？

(I look at my hand that Lenna's been holding this whole time.)（我看向被莱娜握住的手。）

(Lenna freezes, then lets go of me at once, her cheeks flushing red.)（莱娜愣了愣，连忙放开我，脸上却浮起两团红晕。）

LennaOf course! I-it's indeed getting late, Commander. You should go rest now!当然！指、指挥官，时间确实不早了，你可以自由地休息啦！

LennaOr... you could also feel free to accompany me a little more!或者……也可以自由地再陪陪我嘛！

(During the last bit, Lenna's voice grows audibly quieter, as if she's even shyer than before.)（说出最后一句时，莱娜的声音变得小小的，似乎比刚才更害羞了。）

Chairman's Vassal 4 首席眷属4

(In the afternoon, Lenna arrives at the ops room.)（午后，莱娜来到指挥室。）

LennaMay I come in? Commander♪指挥官♪我可以进来吗？

CommanderOf course, Lenna.来吧，莱娜。

(Lenna comes in and bounces along with her hands behind her back.)（莱娜背着手，一蹦一跳地靠过来。）

CommanderLooks like you're in a good mood. What's the good news?你看起来心情不错？发生了什么好事吗？

LennaHehe! Leva finally agreed to put the "Lenna's Family" patch on her backpack!嘿嘿！莱娅姐同意在背包上挂“莱娜大家族”的标志啦！

LennaThe process took some effort, but Leva didn't seem to mind it much—at least verbally.虽然过程费了一点点功夫，莱娅姐嘴上也没有很在意这个。

LennaBut from what I know of her, she genuinely seems to like my gift.但以我对她的了解，她好像挺喜欢我的礼物的。

LennaIt's all thanks to you, Commander♪ Your suggestions were super-duper helpful!指挥官♪多谢你当时提出的建议，太有用啦！

CommanderHahaha. I'm glad you both came out of it happy.哈哈哈，你们都满意就好。

LennaHehe♪ Now let's get down to the real deal.嗯嗯♪那接下来就要进入正题了哦。

LennaI know it's not a holiday or anything... but I have a gift for you, Commander!虽然……也不是什么节日，但我有礼物要送给指挥官！

(Lenna reveals what's hidden behind her—She presents me a large, fluffy object with both hands.)（莱娜露出了背在身后的手，双手奉上一大团毛茸茸的物件。）

LennaRemember the list of accessories that you gave me last time so I can make them for you, Commander?上次指挥官提议过，可以做一些人类可用的配饰送给指挥官。

LennaLook, it's my hand-crafted "King of Lions" headdress. Please accept it, Commander.指挥官，这是我亲手做的“狮王”头套，请收下它吧。

LennaI also made one for myself. If we both wear them, we'll have a pair of "lions" here!我给自己做了的一个成对的，我们都戴上它，这里就有两只“狮子”啦！

(After a quick glance, I realize that the hat is fashioned after a lion's mane.)（简单翻看后，我辨认出来，莱娜模仿了狮子鬃毛的质感制作了一个帽子。）

CommanderWow, it's very cute. Thanks for the gift. Where did you get the idea of making a lion hat?哈哈哈，很可爱，谢谢你的礼物。怎么会想起做狮子帽？

LennaMy name comes from "lion" after all, so I decided to make it into my mascot.我的名字来源于“狮子”嘛，所以我就决定把“狮子”当作我的象征物了。

LennaAs for why it's a pair...至于为什么做成一对……

LennaDolls and humans are simply too distinct from one another. You said before it's the "shared similarities" that bring family members together despite their differences.人形和人类之间的不同之处太多，指挥官说过，是“共性”让家人们殊途同归。

LennaTherefore, I want to create more "similarities" between us.所以，我想创造更多的“共性”。

LennaWith it, even if we're temporarily separated, perhaps we'll be able to find each other sooner than before.或许，这样就算是暂时离散，我们也能比从前更快地找到彼此。

LennaI never want to be apart for that long again.我再也不想分别那——么久了。

(Lenna looks at me with a hint of grievance, her eyes still sparkling.)（莱娜有些委屈地看向我，眼睛亮晶晶的。）

(Thinking back on those times apart, I can't help but reach out and caress Lenna's head.)（想到那些分别的时光，我也忍不住伸手摸了摸莱娜的头。）

CommanderThat's all behind us now.都过去了。

LennaYeah!嗯！

(Lenna nuzzles against my palm and smiles brightly again.)（莱娜下意识地蹭了蹭我的手心，又露出了灿烂的笑容。）

LennaHehe♪ Why don't you try it on now, Commander?嘿嘿♪那指挥官，现在就戴上试试吧？

LennaI also brought mine. Let's take a picture together with the hats on.我也把我的小狮子帽带来了，我想和指挥官一起戴着帽子合影。

(Lenna says before whipping out her own hat and an instant camera.)（莱娜说着就掏出了她的帽子和相机。）

(She stares at me; my silhouette being the only thing reflected in her eyes. Her gaze is of such intensity that I realize this is no request I'm in a position to refuse.)（她看向我，眼睛里只有我的身影。她的眼神很认真，我意识到这是很难拒绝的要求。）

LennaI hope this hat will remind you of me whenever you see it, Commander♪指挥官，希望你看见帽子的时候，能想起我呀♪

LennaPlease share more of your longings with me—preferably as much as I long for you, Commander.再多分给我一点思念吧？最好要像我思念指挥官那么多。

(Lenna mutters as she places the hat on my head herself and starts tidying up the lion's mane.)（莱娜说着，亲手为我戴上帽子，开始帮我整理狮子的鬃毛。）

CommanderI WILL be thinking about you, Lenna.我会想着你的，莱娜。

LennaIt's a promise then♪ You'll think of me often!就这么约定好了哦♪要经常想我！

LennaSo, Commander, shall we start taking pictures now?那么指挥官，我们这就开始合影吧？

(Right as she finishes her sentence, Lenna slyly pulls me in and presses the shutter button—)（话音落下，莱娜狡黠地将我拉近，随后按下了快门——）

LennaLook over here, Commander, and say cheese♪指挥官，看这里，微笑♪

(Moments later, looking at the two lions' heads snuggled closely together on the screen, Lenna gives me a contented thumbs-up.)（片刻之后，望着画面中两只亲密地挤在一起的狮子脑袋，莱娜满意地向我竖起大拇指。）

LennaHehe♪ Look, Commander. It's already done.嘿嘿♪指挥官，可以啦。

(After carefully retrieving the freshly printed photo, Lenna places it in the inner pocket closest to her core.)（小心翼翼地取出即时打印的相片，莱娜又将之装到最靠近心智中枢的胸前内袋中。）

CommanderIt's getting kind of hot wearing this hat indoors. Can I take it off for now?室内戴这个帽子有点热，我先脱下了？

LennaEhhhh! Please wait a moment, Commander—咦咦咦！指挥官，请再稍等一下——

(Lenna looks flustered all of a sudden and reaches out to hold down the brim of my hat.)（莱娜忽然有些慌张起来，伸出手轻轻下压帽檐。）

(My vision is suddenly blocked by the brim, leaving me in near-complete darkness.)（我的视野顿时被帽檐遮住了大半，几乎只剩一片黑暗。）

CommanderWhat's wrong?怎么了？

(Lenna's reply comes unusually late, as if she gave it some extra thought and consideration.)（莱娜的回复比平时要迟一点，像是经过了不少额外的斟酌和酝酿。）

LennaWell—Uhh. Guess even I can get a little embarrassed from time to time!就是……唔，就算是我，也会有不好意思的时候呀！

LennaI've practiced it so many times before coming in. But the moment our eyes met, I just couldn't get my words out smoothly.其实我来之前已经努力练习过了，可是看着指挥官的眼睛，我好像就没有办法顺畅地说完。

LennaHehe, that's so unlike me. Can you please let me finish before opening your eyes, Commander?嘿嘿，真是太不像我了。指挥官，你可不可以听我说完再睁开眼睛呢？

CommanderDon't worry. Just take it easy and go at your own pace.没关系的，你别紧张，根据你的节奏来就好。

LennaWell, while making the lion hats, I kept thinking about things related to you, Commander.制作狮子帽的时候，我一直在想和指挥官有关的事呢。

LennaPerhaps precisely because of the process, I seem to have heard the voice deep within my mind more clearly.或许就是因为这个过程，我好像……更清晰地听见了我心智深处的声音。

(Lenna takes a deep breath beside my ear.)（莱娜在我耳边做着深呼吸。）

(With my vision obstructed, I can hear her movements more clearly and even feel every breath of hers.)（视觉被阻断之后，我能更清晰地听见来自她的动静，感受到她的气息。）

LennaYou're indeed the most special family member to me, Commander.指挥官对我来说，果然是最特殊的家人。

LennaAt first, it was because of how you treated Dolls completely differently from other human managers I'd encountered before.最初是因为，指挥官你对人形的态度和我以前接触过的人类管理者完全不同。

LennaYou are the very first human who has ever taken me seriously, considered my feelings, and tried to understand me.指挥官，你是第一个会认真地看着我，考虑我的感受，试着理解我的人类。

LennaYour words have always brought me support and comfort, and warmed my heart.你的话语也总是能给我带来支持和慰藉，让我感觉心智暖洋洋的。

LennaBeing indulged by such a Commander, it's hard for me NOT to rely on and long for you.被这样的指挥官纵容着的我，就是会忍不住依赖指挥官，想念指挥官的呀。

(With one hand still holding down the brim, Lenna uses her other hand to gently caress my face.)（莱娜的一只手依然轻轻扶着帽檐，但另一只手却摸上了我的脸。）

(Through the furry hat, I can faintly feel her fingers brushing across my forehead and the tip of my nose...)（隔着毛茸茸的帽子，隐约能感觉到她的手指抚过我的额头、鼻尖……）

LennaI've carefully analyzed this for the past few days, Commander.指挥官，这段时间来我仔细分辨过了。

LennaWhen I miss Miss Kalin or Leva, my frame's temperature and energy consumption don't rise significantly.我在想念格琳姐和莱娅姐的时候，素体的温度和能耗并不会显著上升。

LennaHowever, it's a different story when it comes to you... Just like right now... my body's getting warmer and warmer.可是，如果是指挥官，素体数据就不一样。像是现在……我的素体也正在变得更热哦。

LennaAll of this must be because you, Commander, are the most special person to me.这一切，一定是因为指挥官你对我来说是最特殊的。

CommanderYou must've spent a lot of time thinking this through. I'm really moved, Lenna.莱娜思考了很多呢，我都有点感动了。

CommanderIf your frame needs any maintenance, just let me know.素体如果需要帮忙检修，可以跟我说。

LennaIt's not that my frame's malfunctioning, Commander... You really are dense as a brick!我才不是在强调素体的故障呢，指挥官……完全不解风情呢！

CommanderPfffft. What do you wish me to do then, Lenna?哈哈哈，莱娜希望我做什么呢？

CommanderIn return for your gift, I will do my best to satisfy any wish.作为对莱娜心意的回报，我会尽力满足莱娜的。

(Lenna finally helps me remove my hat.)（莱娜终于帮我拉开了帽子。）

(I stretch my neck around and almost bump into Lenna's face, making her already flushed cheeks blush even more.)（我活动了下脖子，差点撞上她，让莱娜本就通红的双颊更红了一分。）

LennaHmm. My wish is that you can always stay true to yourself, Commander.唔，我的愿望是指挥官能够一直保持自己的本色。

LennaThough that does feel like going a little too easy on you... Ah, I think I know.不过，什么都不做好像有点太便宜指挥官了……啊，好像，想到了。

LennaIt's too late to back out now, Commander♪指挥官，现在反悔可来不及了哦♪

CommanderWhat do you want to do?你想干什么？

(I deliberately put on an anxious look.)（我故意做出惊慌不安的样子。）

LennaCan you hold me and hug me a little more? Just let me stay by your side like this a little longer.指挥官可以摸摸我、再抱抱我吗，就让我这样一直待在你身边。

(Lenna dives into my arms, her blushing cheeks brushing against me.)（莱娜靠进我怀里，粉红的脸蛋蹭了蹭我的手。）

(I instinctively rub her face.)（我下意识地摸了摸她的脸。）

Commander...It is a little warm.……是有点热。

LennaTold you it's not about the temperature...都说了温度不重要啦……

LennaPlease focus on pampering me, Commander!指挥官，要专心地奖励我哦！

(Lenna grumbles brattily while burrowing deeper into my arms.)（莱娜有些不满地嘟嚷，却往我的怀里钻了钻。）

(We keep embracing each other like that for a good while, until both our bodies are warm and Lenna is willing to let go.)（我们就这样待了很久，直到身体都暖乎乎的，直到莱娜愿意起来。）

LennaAlright! You still have work to do, right, Commander?好啦！指挥官接下来还要继续工作吧？

LennaIf you're willing, please let me accompany you a little longer.要是指挥官允许，我可以再在你身边待一会儿吗？

LennaI have experience as Miss Kalin's assistant, so don't worry about me interfering with your work. I just... want to see more of you. Hehe♪我有辅助格琳姐的经验，不会打扰你工作的。就是……想多看看指挥官，嘿嘿♪

LennaAnd not just for today—in the future too. Can I come see you more often?以后也是，我可以多来指挥室看看你吗？

(Lenna hops onto the closest chair next to me.)（莱娜想了想，坐到了离我最近的椅子上。）

CommanderYou can do as you please. I'm always happy to have you around, Lenna.你喜欢就可以啊。这里随时欢迎莱娜。

(Hearing that, Lenna smiles contentedly.)（听到我的话，莱娜露出满足的笑容。）

LennaYou better be prepared for it then, Commander!那指挥官要做好心理准备啦！

LennaI'm very clingy after all♪我可是很粘人的呀♪

Covenant 铭契

LennaHuh?! Going a step beyond just "special family member"? That's a realm I haven't even begun to imagine.咦？！要比“特殊的家人”更进一步吗？那是我还没有概念的领域呢。

LennaStill... Hehe, being able to stay by your side forever is all I need♪不过，嘿嘿，能一直在指挥官身边就好♪

LennaWill you teach me all the things I don't understand yet one by one, Commander?所有我还不懂的事情，指挥官你会一件一件教会我的吧？

Glowing Neons 点亮霓虹

(On a rare quiet evening during our rest in the White Zone, Lenna proposes to take me to see her favorite view.)（某个难得清闲的傍晚，我们在白区休整，莱娜说要带我去看她最喜欢的景色。）

(Following her brisk steps around a sharp street corner, she extends her arm to me.)（我跟着脚步轻快的莱娜转过一个街角，她向我伸出手。）

LennaThis way, Commander♪这里走，指挥官♪

LennaBe careful, the steps are quite tall here. Let me hold onto you!小心哦，这里的台阶有点陡峭，我拉着你走吧！

CommanderIt's not that terrible...这点难度还不至于……

(Lenna still reaches out her hands and clasps mine.)（莱娜仍然伸出双手，握住我的手。）

(She begins to lead the way while walking backwards.)（她开始倒退着领路。）

LennaEhehe. That was just an excuse. What's important is I get to hold your hands now, Commander!哎嘿嘿，路况只是借口，重要的是可以牵着指挥官的手呀！

CommanderWatch out behind you, Lenna.莱娜，小心身后。

LennaNo problem~ Surely you're keeping watch for me, huh, Commander?没关系啦，我的身后有指挥官可以帮我观察。

LennaAnd you'll let me know right away if something pops up, right? I'm counting on you!有什么情况，指挥官你会及时提醒我的，交给你啦！

(Even if my reaction speed can somehow keep up, the speed of my speech surely couldn't.)（即使我的反应速度跟得上，语速也未必能同样跟上。）

CommanderAlright, come over here. Or you'll have to keep an eye out for yourself.好啦，到我身边来，还是要你自己注意路径。

(Seeing my adamant stance, Lenna switches to wrapping her arms around mine.)（莱娜见我坚持，松开一只手，转而挽住我的手臂。）

(Before long, her whole body starts gently pressing against me.)（没过多久，她的身体也轻轻贴靠上来。）

LennaHmm-hmm♪ This is what a date should feel like!嗯嗯♪这才是约会的感觉嘛！

LennaYou are so warm... Commander.指挥官……好温暖哦。

(I smile and do not stop Lenna.)（我笑了笑，没有再阻止莱娜。）

CommanderAre we almost there?我们是不是快到达目的地了？

LennaI can see the destination! The timing's perfect too. My plan is going flawlessly! Hehe♪我已经看见终点啦！时间也正好，计划非常完美！嘿嘿♪

(Lenna leads me up to the rooftop of a building, rewarding us with a magnificent view.)（莱娜拉着我到达了一座建筑的天台，站在那里，视野十分开阔。）

(With the dying lights of the setting sun fading, the sky gradually darkens.)（落日最后一抹余晖正在散去，天色逐渐暗下。）

LennaCommander♪ Here it comes—指挥官♪要来了哦——

LennaThree—two—one—!三，二，一！

(As Lenna's soft countdown next to my ear reaches zero, the city's skyline suddenly lights up before us.)（莱娜在耳边轻声倒数，话尾落下，面前的建筑忽然被灯光点亮。）

(Dazzling neon colors illuminate the city block by block, making Lenna's eyes sparkle even more.)（绚烂的霓虹灯逐次分区亮起，莱娜的眼睛因为这些色彩而格外璀璨。）

LennaDon't just stare at me, Commander♪ Look at this once-in-a-day spectacle! Isn't it beautiful?指挥官♪别光顾着看我呀！这可是一天只有一次的美景，好看吗？

(At Lenna's behest, I turn around to look at the view.)（我在莱娜的催促下转头去观景。）

Lenna...Mwah!……啾！

(Suddenly, a soft sensation brushes against my cheek.)（侧脸猝不及防地传来柔软的触觉。）

LennaHehe♪ Gotcha!嘿嘿♪抓住机会啦！

(Lenna smiles contentedly and turns toward the shimmering neon glows ahead.)（莱娜心满意足地笑着，重新看向面前闪烁的霓虹。）

LennaI discovered this place by chance during a job.我是在一次工作中意外发现这里的。

LennaBack then, I thought to myself, "How wonderful would it be to share this beautiful moment with the Commander."那时我就想，这么美的时刻，要是能和指挥官你一起经历就好了。

LennaEverything beautiful, bizarre, and even dangerous.漂亮的风景、奇异的事物、甚至危险和遭遇。

LennaThere are countless stories I want to share with you, even though my rational mind knows that...想要和指挥官分享的东西好像怎么也分享不完，明明理智也知道……

LennaObjectively speaking, they aren't anything noteworthy, but my neural cloud can't help but record, catalog, and save them, waiting and hoping for the right moment to share them with you, Commander.客观来说，那些也不是多么不得了的事情，我的心智却总是自动把它们都记录下来，等待着、期盼着合适的时机再展示给指挥官。

LennaI'm so glad you're accompanying me on this date and giving me the opportunity to show you.指挥官，谢谢你陪我约会，给我这个展示的机会。

LennaThe happiness you brought me today is enough to fill the entirety of my neural space!今天指挥官带给我的幸福感，已经足以充满我的心智空间啦！

CommanderIt doesn't take much to make you happy, huh?莱娜很容易满足呢。

LennaHmm? Are you underestimating me, Commander? Then I'll have to start pulling out the more "outrageous" requests!咦？指挥官是在小看我吗？那我可要提出“不好惹”的要求了哦！

Lenna...Close your eyes, Commander!……指挥官，闭上眼！

(Lenna tries her best to appear commanding and fierce, but unfortunately, it's not very effective.)（莱娜努力地表现出命令和凶狠，可惜效果十分有限。）

(Yet, I still heed her command.)（我还是听从了她的话。）

Lenna...Mwah! Have another!……啾！再来一下！

Section 1 第一节

UMP9Miss Kalin, is it still not done?格琳姐，还没好吗？

KalinaSoon enough.很快就好了。

UMP9Okay...哦……

UMP9Really, why do people insist on handwritten documents? It's such a waste of time.真是的，为什么还要用手写的文件啊，浪费时间不是嘛。

KalinaThat's the way it is with official papers. I've told you before.公文留档就是这样，之前告诉过你呀。

UMP9Fine, fine. I got it.好嘛好嘛，我知道啦。

(UMP9 stops fiddling with the cap of the fountain pen Kalin has placed on the table. Instead, she tilts her head and watches Kalina write.)（UMP9停止摆弄格琳娜放在桌上的钢笔帽，歪着头看格琳娜写字。）

(It didn't take long for her to get bored, so she wanders over to the office window and stares at the crowd below by leaning on the glass with both her hands.)（没过多久，她就看烦了，于是她晃晃悠悠地走到办公室的窗户前，双手扒着玻璃，盯着楼下的人群。）

UMP9Miss Kalin.格琳姐。

KalinaWhat's going on?怎么了？

UMP9Did something happen lately?最近有什么好事发生吗？

KalinaHold on, let me finish writing first.等一下，我先写完。

(Kalina wraps up the last few words, takes out her stamp, and prints it over where she signed. She then walks over to the window and looks at the crowd downstairs with UMP9.)（格琳娜写完最后几个字，拿出印章在自己签名的地方盖上，随后走到窗前，和UMP9一起望向楼下的人群。）

KalinaWhat prompted you to ask that?为什么这么问？

UMP9Well... a lot of people have gotten off work at this time of the day. That's unusual, right? Normally, most people finish their shift at midnight.唔……很多人现在这个时间就下班了哦，这很少见吧？平时下班的高峰时间可是凌晨啊。

KalinaLikely because we're nearing the end of the year. Quite understandable for someone to take this opportunity to relax after a whole year of hard work.是快到年底了吧。辛苦忙碌了一整年，想要趁此机会放松一下，也可以理解。

UMP9That means... it's almost New Year! I have to prepare New Year's gifts for everyone, and buy some new fertilizer for my geraniums~!这么说……快到新年啦！ 要给大家准备新年礼物，还要给我的天竺葵买一些新的肥料~

KalinaGeraniums? Since when did you pick up gardening?天竺葵？你什么时候开始养花了？

UMP9When I was doing experiments at Miss Persica's lab, it was fun watching them grow plants! I tried to raise my own, but they always wither for some reason... I suppose I need to try some other fertilizer...之前在帕斯卡那边做实验的时候，看他们培育植物很有趣嘛！所以我也尝试着养啦，但总是不知道为什么就枯萎了……大概是要换一种别的肥料吧……

UMP9Hmm... and clothes. New dresses for a new year. Let's go shopping with 45~♪唔……还有衣服，新年也要穿新衣服的，和45姐一起去买吧♪

KalinaSpeaking of new... 9, I have a suggestion.说到换新的……9，我有个提议。

UMP9A suggestion? Miss Kalin, do you want to buy clothes too? We can go together♪提议？格琳姐也要买衣服吗？可以一起去哦♪

KalinaNo, not clothes. I was thinking that maybe you and 45 could utilize this New Year as an opportunity to adopt a new name.不，不是衣服。 我在想，也许你和45，可以趁着新年换一个新的名字。

UMP9N-new name? You mean new code names right?换、换名字？是说用新的代号吗？

KalinaNo, an everyday name. Even though you and 45 remain members of the "those who don't exist" squad, there are tasks now that necessitate you to make an appearance.是日常使用的名字。 虽然你和45的所属还在“不存在的小队”，但现在已经有需要露面的任务了。

KalinaNew missions, new names. It'll also help you get used to your current lives sooner.新的任务，新的名字，也可以让你们更快适应现在的生活。

UMP9Hmm... I see now... Hehe, Miss Kalin has thought of everything. A new name... definitely sounds refreshing♪唔……原来是这样……嘿嘿，还是格琳姐想得周到。新名字……感觉很新鲜♪

UMP9Ah! But I've already replaced my old body. If I change my name as well, wouldn't the Commander be unable to recognize me?啊！但是我已经换了素体，要是又改了名字的话，指挥官会不会彻底认不出我了？

KalinaIt's just a name change. Just tell them when you meet again,只是更换名字，等你们见面，说一说就好了。

UMP9Sounds right.也是哦。

UMP9So, what should I call myself? It can't be something too plain nor too awkward, hmmm... picking a new name really is a tall order. It needs to have some connection to 45's, while also being not too alien for the Commander, considering we haven't met for years—那我叫什么好呢？不能太普通，也不能太拗口，嗯嗯……换名字一定要谨慎，要和45姐的名字关联起来，还要让指挥官不觉得太生分，本来就好几年都没能见到了——

KalinaYeah...嗯……

(Noticing Kalina's silence, UMP9 quickly covers her mouth.)（察觉格琳娜的沉默，UMP9快速捂住了嘴巴。）

UMP9Huh-uh! I know! I know that! Hehe~唔唔我知道！我都知道！嘿嘿~

Kalina...I'm just... Ahem, let's not talk about this.……我只是……咳，先不说这个。

Kalina9, how about this?9，你看这样如何？

KalinaIn certain human families, it's common for loved ones to be bonded via names that sound alike. Perhaps you two could discuss the idea of choosing similar-sounding names?在人类的家庭里，有时候，亲人之间会使用发音相似的名字，这也是一种关联。 你们也可以一起商量一下，选择一些听上去类似的名字？

UMP9Ah.... Is that so?!啊……是这样吗！

UMP9Ohhhh! That sounds great! It feels more like a family too♪♪ As expected of Miss counselor, what a brilliant idea!哦哦哦！对耶！这样也更像一家人了♪ 不愧是参事女士，头脑真好！

(Kalina picks up a folder from her table and gently taps 9's head with it.)（格琳娜拿起桌子上的文件夹，用文件夹轻轻地拍了拍9的头顶。）

KalinaComplimenting me won't reduce the workload. Please deliver these documents to the record management office for filing later. Remember, it's the record management office.夸我也不会减少工作哦。 这些文件，麻烦你稍后送去档案管理室归档。记住，是档案管理室。

UMP9Easy, easy. I'll make sure I get it right this time♪好啦好啦，这次一定不会送错♪

KalinaI'll let you handle it.交给你了。

KalinaHmm... looks like we're done with today's work. As for tomorrow and the day after... everyone should be on vacation so there won't be much to do. 9, we'll take the next two days off as well.嗯……今天的工作也差不多结束了，明天和后天……大家都去休假了，工作也没多少。9，明后两天我们也休假吧。

UMP9Hehe, you just said you won't reduce the workload~♪嘿嘿，格琳姐明明刚刚才说过不会减少工作~♪

KalinaMaking some "spur-of-the-moment" decisions every once in a while can't hurt. Of course, you can stay voluntarily and enjoy your overtime.偶尔做一些“临时起意”的决定也不错。 当然，9可以选择自主加班。

UMP9No way!才不要呢！

UMP9Hmm... speaking of vacation, perhaps we should take this opportunity to discuss with 416 and G11? Just in case they also want to change theirs. We need a fitting place... Miss Kalin, may I borrow the vacant conference room?唔……休假的话，也许正好可以和416她们一起商量一下改名字的事情？万一她和G11也想改呢。 需要准备一个合适的地方……格琳姐，我可以借用空闲的会议室吗？

KalinaOf course, but use it with care.可以，不过要小心使用。

UMP9Yeah! Don't you worry♪嗯！当然会小心啦♪

UMP9It's been some time since we've all met, wouldn't it be a bit... boring to just sit around and chat in a room? I mean, I don't mind it personally; I'm content with just everyone being back together, but doing something fun would be a nice bonus...不过，大家都这么久没见面了，只是在房间里聊天的话……会不会太无聊了？虽然我是觉得只要和大家在一起就好啦，但还是想做一些有趣的事情啊……

KalinaThere were a couple of times that the Commander took me and the Dolls on a trip during the vacation.以前……倒是也有几次，指挥官带着我还有人形们，趁休假的时候外出旅行。

UMP9Traveling together, huh? ...That does feel like something a family would do! Like picking a spot with great scenery while traveling, then deciding on your new names together! Wow, that's exactly what a family feels like♪一起旅行度假吗……感觉像是一家人会做的事情！然后，在旅途中，选一个风景很好的地方，一起取新的名字！哇，这完全就是一家人的感觉嘛♪

KalinaA family? ...Hmm, indeed.一家人吗……嗯，确实。

UMP9It's settled then. I'm taking you all on a trip♪好，那就决定啦，我要带大家一起度假♪

UMP9Unfortunately...可惜……

(While still envisioning the scene, UMP9 holds back her sorrow over the fact that the Commander won't be with them.)（想起刚才的情景，UMP9将指挥官无法参与的遗憾憋了回去。)

KalinaWith the recent developments, securing an extended vacation for you and 45 will be quite challenging. If you want to go on a trip, you'll have to give me some time to sort things out.最近这情况，确实不好给你和45批长假，要度假的话，可能要等我调剂一下时间。

UMP9No worries! Hehe, I can get things done too, if I put enough thought into it♪没事没事！嘿嘿，就算是我，只要努力去想也还是有办法的♪

KalinaWhat's on your mind again?想到什么了？

UMP9Top~secret♪ I'll go drop off the documents now, Miss Kalin!保~密♪ 那我去送文件啦格琳姐！

KalinaHeh... you haven't changed a bit.唉呀……还是像以前一样呢。

UMP9I heard that! Seriously, I've gotten at least a bit more mature right?!我听到啦！真过分，我多少也有变稳重一些吧！

(UMP9 peeks back out of the doorway with a disgruntled look. After her quick grumble, she disappears once again, leaving only her voice and the sound of footsteps trailing behind her.)（UMP9的脑袋从门口探了出来，一副不满的样子。抱怨了一句，她就很快从门口消失，只有声音和“啪嗒啪嗒”的脚步声一同传来。）

UMP9Remember to reserve me a conference room, Miss Kalin!记得给我留一间会议室哦，格琳姐！

KalinaYeah, yeah.好好。

KalinaUm, whew. Let me take a break as well.嗯，好了，我也休息一下吧。

Section 2 第二节

PersicariaHah... guess I'm really exhausted...哈……提不起劲啊……

UMP9Hello Persica♪哈喽帕斯卡♪

(Holding her coffee cup, Persica absentmindedly pours a hefty amount of sugar into it. Just then, the door behind her swings open with force and UMP9 bursts in cheerfully.)（帕斯卡正端着咖啡杯，心不在焉地往杯子中投入大量方糖。她身后的门突然被用力推开，UMP9快乐地冲了进来。）

Persicaria9?9？

UMP9At last, found you! It's a rare sight to see you outside the lab!终于找到你啦！你会出现在实验室以外的地方，真少见呢！

PersicariaHow'd you know I'm here?你怎么知道我在这里？

UMP9How'd I know...? I asked the researchers and all of them said you shouted things along the lines of "I can't figure it out. I can't carry on. I can't do this anymore. Please, everything goes boom" before booking it and running into here.怎么知道的……就是普通地问了研究员，他们都说你大声喊着“做不下去了想不通啊不想干了爆炸吧！”之类的话，跑得飞快，钻进了这里哦。

PersicariaHmm... Have I said such things? But, it's true that I haven't been feeling very energetic for the past two days.唔……我说过这样的话？ 不过这两天，总觉得没什么精神倒是真的。

UMP9Hehe, probably because it's the end of the year? "Quite understandable for wanting to relax a bit", that's what Miss Kalin said♪嘿嘿，因为快到年底了吧？“想要放松一下，也可以理解”，格琳姐这么说的♪

PersicariaRelax a bit... maybe I should consider taking some time off...? Let's see, which lab is vacant...放松一下啊……我也去休个假吧……？我想想，是哪个实验室空一点……

UMP9Ah, wait a minute! I came here to talk to you about vacation!啊先等等！其实我来找你，也是关于休假的事情哦！

UMP9Persica, I'd like to borrow the environmental projection device. I assume you have them?帕斯卡，我想借用一下环境投影设备，你这里应该有吧？

PersicariaHmm—some of the more basic projectors are indeed gathering dust. I can lend you.唔唔——基础款的投影设备，确实有一些正在闲置，可以借给你。

PersicariaThey're all pretty old models, though; what are you planning on doing? Ah... don't tell me it's a screening party; that would be a great idea. I'd like to host one at some point, as well.不过都是很老旧的型号了，你打算做什么？啊——难道是放映会？不错的选择哦，我也想办放映会。

UMP9Screening? What's that?放映会？那是什么？

PersicariaDon't you know? When it comes to vacations, it's all about putting on some experimental film and watching it by yourself in an empty room.你不知道吗？说到休假，当然是在空无一人的房间里一个人放实验录像来看吧？

UMP9Is... is that so?是……这样吗？

PersicariaUh-huh. Find a relaxing spot to enjoy a screening party by yourself. The lab on the top floor is perfect for that.嗯嗯，找一个适合放松的场所，一个人开放映会。顶楼的研究室就很合适哦。

PersicariaNarrow spaces also work. Like a dark closet or things of that sort, it's nice and cozy to have a small projector in there.还有窄小的空间也不错，比如黑漆漆的壁橱什么的，用一个小型投影来放，也很舒服。

UMP9That sounds... off? You sure those are "relaxing" places ...?这……这不对吧？这些是“适合放松”的地方吗……？

PersicariaOf course they are, never tried it, have you? Your whole being will calm down and all your worries will vanish into thin air. So? Want to give it a try?当然，你没试过吧？整个人都会平静下来，烦恼的事情都消失不见了。 怎么样？要试试看吗？

UMP9It's still odd... The four of us huddled together in a dark closet or something... I'll pass on that...可是很奇怪吧……我们四个缩在黑漆漆的壁橱里什么的……还是算了……

UMP9Speaking of, all the vacation advertisements I've seen featured seaside scenes prominently, so I thought the beach was everyone's favorite destination. I guess personal preferences vary a lot among humans.说起来，我之前看到的度假广告里，都是海边的风景，我还以为大家都喜欢海滨之类的地方呢，没想到人类的喜好差别会这么大啊。

PersicariaOhhhh—warm sunshine, refreshing breeze and all that jazz are indeed very pleasing to humans.哦哦——温暖的阳光，清爽的海风什么的，确实很讨人类喜欢。

UMP9Exactly! Somewhere warm sounds great♪ If it's with the Commander... down to a coast would definitely be the way to go!没错！温暖的地方听上去很棒♪ 如果是和指挥官一起的话……海滨肯定是最佳选项！

UMP9While I do know Commander's contact... but Miss Kalin... Well, in any case, it's not the right time yet.虽然我是知道指挥官的联络方式啦……但格琳姐……哎呀，总之还没到那个恰当的时机。

UMP9If it's with 404... by the seaside... we need to prepare... Hmm, can I even find those...?和404一起的话……海滨，要准备的东西有……唔，能不能找到呢……

PersicariaWhat are you mumbling about? Aren't you acting a little funny today?从刚刚开始就嘀咕什么呢？你今天是不是有点奇怪？

UMP9...Yeah! A little weird indeed...……嗯！是有点奇怪……

PersicariaSo, do you want me to examine you or something? I happen to be working on some experimental projects...确实，需要帮你检修一下吗？我正好有一些实验项目……

UMP9I-it's fine! Okay, I'll go get things ready now♪ Where's the projector? I'll grab it myself.那、那就不用啦！ 好啦，我要先去准备起来了♪ 投影设备放在哪？我自己去拿就好。

PersicariaThe equipment warehouse is in the basement. There are quite a few models, you'll have to decide which one according to the range of projection—do you need me to get you some videotapes?投影的话，地下室的设备仓库，有很多个型号，你根据投影范围来选——需不需要我给你拿点录像带？

UMP9No need for that♪ Just stay here and catch some rest. It's not good if you're always exhausted.不用不用♪你就在这里好好休息一下吧，一直没精神可不行哦。

UMP9I'll return the projector when I'm done with it!设备我用完就还给你！

(UMP9 waves at Persica and storms out of the room.)（UMP9对帕斯卡挥了挥手，很快冲出了房间。）

PersicariaHey, 9, wait a...哎，9，等一下……

PersicariaHmm, might as well...唔，不然我也……

Section 3 第三节

UMP9Projector... hmm, no problem, it's all set up. Everything else's ready to go♪投影设备……嗯，没有问题，都设置好了。道具也都准备OK♪

UMP9Alright~ Time to invite everyone over! Let's see... contact numbers... where did I save them?好啦~叫大家过来吧！嗯……通讯号码……我存到哪里了？

UMP9Ugh...唔……

UMP9Ah, here they are♪ Can't believe I'm still not used to the rearranged grouping.啊，有了有了♪ 分组信息变了，还是不太习惯呀。

(UMP9 brings her terminal to her ear; she awaits anxiously, only feeling a sense of relief when the call is picked up.)（UMP9把通讯终端贴在耳朵上，全神贯注地听着，至到通讯被接起才放松下来。）

UMP9Hello♪ Can you hear me~? I'm—通啦♪ 喂喂~我是——

??I'm busy right now. Call me later if there's something.我这边正忙着，有什么事等会再说。

(Amid motorbike roar and a chaotic cacophony, the call is hung up. )（伴随着重机车的轰鸣和混乱的嘈杂声音，通讯被挂断了。 ）

(UMP9 stares vacantly at her terminal, blinking.)（UMP9呆呆地看着手里的通讯终端，眨了眨眼睛。）

UMP9Eh—she hangs up on me...?哎——被挂断了……？

UMP9Could it be... she can't be bothered to answer me?难道是……不想接我的通讯？

UMP9No way♪ She did say she was busy. Well, let's get back to her later and call someone else first. The next one is...才怪啦♪她刚刚说了正在忙嘛，嗯，还是等下再联系她，先叫别人过来好啦。 嗯……下一个号码是……

(UMP9 dials another number. Her terminal beeps continuously, waiting to be answered. In the meanwhile, she leans back against the wall, her foot gently taps the ground.)（UMP9重新输入了号码，通讯终端发出等待接听的提示音，UMP9靠在墙上，用脚轻轻点着地。）

UMP9Hmm... taking her time, huh? Don't tell me she fell asleep again... Oh wait, she picked up!唔……好慢啊，该不会是又睡着了吧……哦哦通了！

UMP9Hello, can you—喂喂，那个——

??Woaaaahhhh—啊啊噢噢噢噢————

UMP9WHAT?!哎？！

??G11, stop wasting your shots in that direction! The enemy's on our doorstep over here!G11，别对着那边浪费子弹！这边敌人已经到眼皮底下了！

(The terminal's owner did not respond, as if she's not even aware that she picked up the call.)（通讯终端的主人没有回应，好像是没发现自己已经接起了通讯。）

(The sound of bullets whizzing past, explosions, and someone's voices yelling in the distance all pour through the comm, then get abruptly cut off by the end of the call.)（通讯那边传来子弹倾泻的声音和爆炸声，还有谁在远处呼喊的声音，不久之后就被挂断了。）

UMP9Hello? Hello?! G11, can you hear me?喂？喂？！G11，能听到吗？

UMP9They hung up... Hmm, I did catch them mentioning "enemy"... are they still fighting? Right... even before me and 45 came here, 404 was already occupied with all sorts of work...挂断了…… 唔，刚刚好像听到“敌人”什么的……是还在战斗吗？也对……我和45姐来这边之前，404就很忙了……

(UMP9 clutches her comm terminal, and lets out a sigh as she shrugs her shoulders.)（UMP9捧着通讯终端，叹了口气，耸了耸肩膀。）

UMP9They are in the middle of a battle after all. Makes sense for them to hang up. I'll contact them later!在战斗中啊，那挂断通讯也说得过去啦，嗯嗯，等下再联系看看吧！

UMP9Besides, 45 won't hang up on me for sure. That's right! I'm sure she won't♪而且，45姐的话一定不会挂我电话的，嗯！一定不会♪

(UMP9 dials a third number, which is quickly picked up this time around.)（UMP9拨通第三个号码，这一次很快就被接起来了。）

(Despite being in an empty room, alone, UMP9 still lights up with a bright smile.)（在只有她独自一人的房间里，UMP9露出了非常灿烂的笑容。）

UMP459? Something's up?9？有事吗？

UMP945! Great... hmm, don't hang up yet!45姐！太好了……那个，先不要挂断！

UMP45What's the urgency?有什么紧急的情况？

UMP9Uh, do you have a minute, 45? Would you mind coming to conference room 7?呃那个，45姐你现在有时间吗？可不可以来一趟7号会议室？

UMP45Conference room 7? Kalin's got something?7号会议室？是格琳有事？

UMP9No, it's me. I-I have something to say. 45, can you come over?不是啦，是我，是我有事！45姐，可以过来吗？

UMP45Hmm... I'm on a temporary assignment right now, 9. I'll contact you when I'm done on my end.唔……我现在正在执行临时任务，9。等我这边结束之后再联系你。

UMP9Oh... I see. If you're in the middle of a mission, it can't be helped...哦……这样啊，在任务中那就没办法了呢……

UMP9But 45, I'll be waiting there! So please come when you're done, okay?但是45姐，我会在这里等的！所以等你那边结束了就过来，可以吗？

(On her end of the comm, UMP45 whispers something to the person next to her, taking a while before answering 9's words.)（通讯装置另一端，UMP45小声和身边的人说了什么，过了一阵子才回答她的话。）

UMP45Must it be today? It's that important?一定要今天？这么重要的事情？

UMP9Yes! It's very, very important!对！是非常、非常重要的事情！

UMP45But it looks like... things will take a while on my end. I'll see how it goes, will call you later.但是我这里……看起来还要一段时间，我看看情况，等下会联系你。

(UMP45 hangs up the comm.)（UMP45挂断了通讯。）

(In the empty room, UMP9 remains alone, standing in the center. Like a deflated balloon, she slowly slides down and crouches to the floor.)（房间里，依旧只有UMP9一个人站在中央。9像是瘪掉的气球，慢慢滑落，蹲在地上。）

UMP9Why... I didn't inform them ahead of time because I wanted to surprise everyone... Should I have arranged a date ahead of time instead?怎么会这样……本来想要给大家惊喜才没有提前说的……果然应该提前约好时间吗？

UMP9But they didn't say they weren't coming! They're just occupied at the moment. Surely they'll come once they're done with their business♪可是，大家也没有说不来了嘛！只是暂时有事，等她们忙完自己的事情就会过来了，对吧♪

UMP9Well, guess I'll just have to wait for them. We're family after all.没办法，那就等等她们吧，谁让我们是家人嘛。

(A deafening silence, no one answers her words.)（安静的房间，没有人回答她的话。）

(UMP9 sits down on the floor, her arms wrapped around her knees, her head resting against the projector, her toes stepping on the spots of light on the floor out of boredom.)（UMP9抱着自己的膝盖坐在了地上，头靠着房间中央的投影仪，脚尖百无聊赖地点着地上的光点。）

UMP9I'm bored... Let's play animal word chain♪好无聊啊……来玩动物接龙吧♪

UMP9Cats! S-snail. Lizard. Doggy. Y... yolk? That's not even an animal anymore...猫咪！咪……蜜蜂，蜂鸟，鸟……鸟……鸟蛋？这个不是动物了啊……

UMP9Y... what animal starts with an Y...鸟……什么呢……

(UMP9 keeps pondering on an animal with "y" as their first character and stares blankly at the ceiling.)（UMP9思考着以“鸟”开头的动物，呆呆地望着天花板。）

UMP9That makes me wonder... what kind of animal would 45 be? Surely something that's both elegant and strong—Ah! How long has it been? An hour...?说起来……45姐如果是动物的话，会是什么呢？一定是又美丽，又强大的——啊！过去多久了？一个小时……？

(UMP9 promptly retrieves her terminal from her pocket, yet her face soon reflects a sense of letdown.)（UMP9从口袋里翻出通讯终端，隐隐有些失落。）

UMP9None of them have contacted me yet... It seems that everyone's task today is quite the challenger! I'm the only one sitting around... No, it's not just sitting around. I'm doing my best to maintain the family relationship.都没有联系我呢……看来今天大家的任务都不简单呀！只有我在闲着……不不，不是闲着，我也是在努力维系家人关系的。

UMP9Let's wait a little longer. We're family after all♪再等等吧，谁让我们是家人呢♪

(...)（……）

UMP9...Haven't they finished yet?………还没结束吗？

(The terminal answered her question with silence.)（通讯终端用沉默回应了她。）

UMP9...Must be a tricky mission... In that case, I should go help them out...……是那么棘手的任务嘛……这样的话我也去帮忙就好了……

UMP9Just two more hours... No, one more! One more hour for them to finish their work♪ Let's wait another hour and see.再等两个小时……不，一个小时！一个小时应该足够她们忙完了吧♪再等一个小时看看吧。

(Bored out of her mind, UMP9 walks around aimlessly before sitting back down next to the projector just to examine it closely. Then, while staring at her watch, she unconsciously fumbles with its on/off switch over and over again.)（UMP9无聊地走来走去，又坐在投影仪旁边，把仪器打开又检查了一遍。然后一边盯着手表，一边无意识地把仪器的开关按了一遍又一遍。）

(The projector flickers on and off, and the room shimmers with an eerie light.)（仪器不断地开开关关，房间里闪烁着诡异的光。）

UMP9Okay, nothing wrong with the projector either.嗯，仪器也没有问题。

UMP9It's been an hour now... everyone is certainly busy. Still, the mission comes first. I can wait a little longer!唔，一个小时过去了……大家真的都很忙啊。不过确实是任务为重呢。我可以再等等！

(UMP9 taps the darkened screen of the terminal.)（UMP9轻轻点着终端漆黑一片的屏幕。）

UMP9416 and others... must be on their way back to the base by now, right? It's probably hard to make calls while riding her motorbike... As for G11... she's likely already fallen asleep again. They'll surely wake her up once they're back at the base.416她们现在……一定已经在回据点的路上了吧？ 肯定是骑着她的重机车不方便联络……G11……G11肯定是又睡着啦，等回了据点就会被摇醒。

UMP9Hehe. I know that's the case~嘿嘿，我就知道是这样啦~

(The sky outside darkens as night falls. Moonlight pierces the cracks in the thick curtain, casting a bright silver trail across the floor.)（窗外夜色渐深，月光透过厚制窗帘的缝隙，在地面打出一道银色的亮线。）

UMP9As for 45... she surely handled her stuff. 45 is the strongest after all. Thinking about it, I haven't been on a sortie alongside her for a while... Was it two weeks? Or a whole month?45姐……45姐肯定没问题啦，45姐是最强的嘛。这么想来，我也有阵子没能和她一起做任务了……半个月？还是一个月来着？

UMP945 is way more competent than I am, so they handed work to her... Yeah, I definitely shouldn't bother her further.45姐比我要干练，交给她的工作也就更多一些……嗯，我更不能打扰她。

(UMP9 reluctantly loosens her hand clutching the terminal.)（UMP9放弃地将攥着终端的手放下。 ）

UMP9It has been quite some time since I've come to the Non-Military Forces Administration... I wonder if I can even get up to speed with 404's missions now...不知不觉，我来非军事力量管理局这边帮忙已经这么久了……不知道404的任务还能不能顺畅上手……

UMP9No, that's not right. Assisting Miss Kalin was also one of 404's missions.不对不对，协助格琳姐也是404接下的委托啊。

UMP9It's just that right now, I don't have much at hand... I'm not being left behind by my family... The Commander would surely say the same thing if they knew... The Commander...只是现在，我稍微闲下来了一点而已……并没有被家人们落下的……指挥官知道了也一定会这样说，指挥官……

(All of a sudden, UMP9 can feel her vision blurring.)（突然，UMP9感到自己的视野模糊起来。）

UMP9Eh?哎？

(UMP9 rubs her eyes, realizing her fingertips are now covered in droplets.)（UMP9揉了揉眼睛，发现指尖沾满了水滴。）

UMP9What is this, damn it. Why did they make Dolls able to tear up...什么啊，真讨厌，人形为什么也会有眼泪啊……

(She wipes her eyes and buries her face in her arm.)（她抹了一把眼睛，把脸埋进臂弯。）

UMP9Is it because... I still can't keep up with everyone...我是不是，还是跟不上大家呀……

(With an overwhelming silence surrounding her, UMP9's question is met with no response. Soon after, soft weeping can be heard from the dark corner of the room.)（周围一片安静。没有人回应UMP9的问题，黑暗的角落里传来隐忍的啜泣声。）

UMP9Commander, that's not the case, right...?指挥官，不是这样的，对不对……

UMP459, what's going on?9，怎么了？

(The door slides open. UMP45, dressed in formal attire and comm terminal in hand, stands at the doorway, looking at UMP9 with a bemused expression.)（滑门打开，穿着正装的UMP45站在门口，手里拿着通讯终端，一脸无奈地看着UMP9。）

UMP45Why are you crying your eyes out? What happened?怎么哭得这么委屈，发生什么事了？

UMP9...Sis 45? Is it really 45?……45姐？是真的45姐吗？

UMP45Nope, it's all hallucination.哈，是幻觉哦。

UMP9It's the real 45! Sob—是真的45姐啊！呜哇——

UMP45Ayayay...哎呀呀……

Section 4 第四节

(With UMP45 standing right under the doorway, UMP9 jumps up and runs toward her, then promptly loses her balance and flings herself toward the ground.)（UMP45站在房间门口，UMP9跳起来向她跑去，因为慌张失去了平衡，往前扑向地面。）

(UMP45 hastily reaches out with one arm and grabs her by the back of her neck, immobilizing her in mid-air.)（UMP45赶紧伸出一只手拉着她脖子后面的衣服把她固定在半空中。）

UMP9Sob—Sis 45—Sob—呜哇——45姐——呜呜——

(UMP9 hugs 45 in one smooth motion and bursts into tears.)（UMP9顺势一把抱住45，放声大哭起来。）

UMP45What's happened exactly? You're bawling.究竟怎么了？哭这么大声。

UMP9No, I mean. I really... Sob— I-I miss you so much—不呃、不是啦45姐呜——我、我好想你啊——

UMP45Okay, 9, stay calm. Tell me, what's going on.好了，9，冷静一点。告诉我，发生什么了？

UMP9Hmm, okay...嗯、嗯……

UMP9It's really nothing big. I was planning a seaside trip with everyone... but, it didn't work... I failed to coordinate a time with everyone, so nobody showed up... everyone's busy with their own tasks, and I'm the only one who's like...其实没什么，我想要带大家一起去海边度假的……但是、没有做好……没有跟大家约时间。大家就都没有来……大家都在忙，只有我……就、就有点……

UMP45Feeling a little upset? Like you can't catch up with us?有点难过？觉得跟不上我们了？

UMP9Hmm... yes.唔……嗯。

UMP9Please don't tell others, I was just... you know...45姐你不要告诉别人哦，我刚刚……那个……

UMP45Because you're reluctant to let others see you crying your eyes out? Or because you want to keep them from witnessing your whole process of going from being all positive, to pessimistic, to depressed, and finally to self-deprecation?是不想被知道自己涕泪横流的样子？还是不想被知道你自己一个人完成了从积极到消极，再到失落，最后自怨自艾的全过程？

UMP9Don't say it out loud!哎呀，不要说出来啦！

UMP45Ha! Who would have guessed that our always upbeat 9 could have such a rough day? Of course I had to document it and share it later—especially with the Commander.哈，我们开朗的9也能有这一天，当然要好好记录下来，以后分享给大家——特别是指挥官。

UMP9No way! Please don't! I want the Commander to compliment me on how I've matured over the years! Don't expose me, 45!不行！绝对不行！我还想让指挥官夸我这些年变得成熟了呢！45姐不许揭我的底！

UMP45Fine~ Now, tell me, what's the deal with this seaside trip thing again? To my knowledge, the Non-Military Forces Administration's office here isn't built with an ocean next to it.好吧~那你现在来告诉告诉我，海边度假又是怎么回事？ 我可没听说过非军事力量管理局在这边的办事处里有大海。

UMP9Well... it's been a long time since we've traveled together with Squad 404 as a whole. If we keep this up, we'll end up estranged from one another... A seaside trip together on New Year's Day should help us repair and heal our bonds, right?嗯……404小队的大家不是很久没有一起出行过了嘛，再这样下去，总觉得大家会疏远……要是能在新年的时候，一起去海边度假的话，应该就不会忘记我们之间的感情了吧♪

UMP45Bonds, huh? ...It's indeed something you would consider.感情吗……的确像你会考虑的事情。

UMP9Not just consider, but seriously consider! Hehe♪ But, everyone's so occupied, a vacation down to the shore might not be feasible in reality.就是很认真地考虑了嘛！嘿嘿♪但是，大家都很忙，休息的时间可能不够真的到海边去休假。

UMP9Which is why, after some serious consideration, I managed to borrow Persica's secret weapon! With this, we can all go on a vacation here!所以呢，我又认真地考虑了一下，然后和帕斯卡借来了秘密武器！只要有这个，大家就可以在这里度假啦♪

UMP9Ta-da! Environmental projection device♪ It allows us to recreate the wonder of the beach right here in this room!锵锵！环境投影设备♪ 用它就可以在房间里投射出海边的景象啦！

UMP45...……

UMP9I've already set it up♪ Give me a second, I'll show you!我都准备好啦♪ 等一下，我这就打开给你看哦！

(UMP9 crouches down and presses the switch on the projector; the aging device's cooling fan emits a loud noise. Yet, just after projecting a curtain of blue light, no other image is produced.)（UMP9蹲下身，按下投影仪的开关。老旧的仪器发出巨大的风扇散热的噪音，但在投射出一片蓝色光幕后，就再也没有其他的影像了。）

UMP9Huh? Why isn't it.... Ehhh? How could it be? It's not broken, is it?咦？为什么没有投出来……哎哎？怎么了？不会是坏掉了吧？

UMP45Oh wow~ This sea is incredibly blue.哦~这片海真是蓝得出乎意料呢。

UMP9Don't just hang around! Come help me check... How could it possibly be broken? Ah, could it be because I got bored earlier and kept switching it on and off repeatedly... Was it this fragile?!45姐你别光站在一边看着了！快来帮我看看……怎么会坏掉嘛！啊，难道是我刚才，等的时候无聊开开关关所以……这也太容易坏了吧！

UMP9Okay, everything's fine. I've heard that when a machine malfunctions, most of the time you just hit them—没关系，听说仪器坏掉的话，大部分的时候只要拍一拍——

(UMP9 raises her arm and smacks the projector.)（UMP9抬起手臂，“梆梆”地拍打起投影仪。）

(The beaten projector begins to produce the sounds of waves and sea breeze, then spits out another patch of yellow pixels, as if struggling to generate an image of a sandy beach.)（被鞭策了的投影仪开始播放海浪和海风的声音，又吐出一片黄色的色块，似乎想努力生成沙滩的图像。）

UMP9There's sound now! Looks like hitting it really works♪有声音了！果然拍一拍就好啦♪

UMP9Huh? Eh?! D-don't shut it off—啊？哎？！别、别关闭啊——

UMP45...Pfft. Hahahaha—……噗。 哈哈哈哈哈哈——

UMP9Stop laughing, 45. Come help me smack it!45姐别笑啦，快来帮忙一起拍拍它啊！

UMP45If you keep this up, I'm afraid there'll be nothing left for you to return to Persica.再拍下去，恐怕你就没什么能还给帕斯卡的了。

UMP9Then, w-what should we do... the plan to take everyone to the beach will be— Ah...那、那要怎么办……这样，带大家去海边的计划——啊……

(UMP9's comm terminal buzzes. She nearly drops it on the floor trying to pull it out with one hand while fumbling with the projector with the other.)（UMP9的通讯终端响了起来，她一边单手捣鼓着投影仪，一边手忙脚乱地掏出通讯终端，差点失手把它掉在地上。）

UMP9Hello, hello?! I'm a little busy right now. I'll get back to you later—喂、喂？！那个我现在有点忙，等下再回复您——

416You're a little busy? Then why did you call me earlier?你有点忙？那你刚才联系我做什么？

UMP9Ohhh—it's 416♪哦哦——是416 ♪

416Thought you had something important going on. I just got out of danger over here you know, on top of having to babysit G11.还以为你有什么重要的事，我这边可是刚刚摆脱危险，还要监管着G11那个家伙。

Gr G11416... they're about to find this place...416……他们快要找到这里了……

416They're just a bunch of stragglers. You can handle them.都是些杂鱼而已吧？你能处理好。

Gr G11...Euh... but I'm sleepy and don't want to move... 416, you go.……唔……可是我困了不想动哎……416你去啦。

416If you don't move, I won't either. Don't forget, they're closer to you.你不动的话，我也不动。别忘了，他们离你更近。

Gr G11Uhhh... right, right...呜啊……听你的就是了……

UMP9416, stop messing with G11 all the time! It's not like you don't care about her.416，不要总是吓唬G11啦！你又不可能不管她。

416That's what she's banking on to be so scatterbrained... Well, as you can see, we're still busy here. If there's nothing else, I'll—她就是吃准了这一点，才会这么散漫…… 好了，你也看到了，我们这里还忙着，没什么事的话我就——

UMP459, give me the terminal.9，把终端给我。

UMP9Eh? Hmm... here you go, 45.哎？唔……给你，45姐。

UMP45It's me, 416~ What a surprise, huh? Hehe♪换人了哟~ 416，是我哟？惊不惊喜呀，嘻嘻♪

416—Hmph, 45. You better give me one good reason not to cut this communication right now.——哼，45，你最好给我一个不立即结束通讯的理由。

UMP45Don't act so cold. We've prepared a big surprise for you.别这么冷淡嘛，我们这边可是给你准备了一份大礼。

416A big surprise? I don't want anything from you. Stop babbling, I'm hanging up—大礼？你的东西我可不想要。别啰嗦了，我挂了——

UMP45Well~ Do you really have to?唔~非挂断不可吗？

416—What do you mean? Speak clearly if you intend to say something.——什么意思？想说什么就说清楚。

UMP45If I recall, your mission this time was merely to clear out stragglers. Dealing with this kind of enemy while chatting on comms shouldn't be a problem for you, right? Miss Elite Tactical Doll♪我记得你们这次的任务只是清剿杂鱼而已哦，一边开着通讯聊天一边对付这种程度的敌人，对你们来说，不是什么难事吧？精·英·人·形·小姐♪

416Hmph... what do you know. An enemy completely absent from the intelligence showed up this time. That said, weren't you the one who gathered this intel?哼……你懂什么，这次可是出现了和情报完全不一样的敌人。 说起来，这次的情报是你收集的吧？

UMP45Making excuses and blaming others for your mistakes doesn't sound like what an elite Doll would do, does it?找借口把错误推给别人，可不像是精英会做的事情哦？

416Forget it. Didn't expect much from you anyway. What exactly do you want? You wouldn't want to talk to me this badly, could you?算了，反正我对你也没什么期待。 你到底有什么目的？不会是真的就这么想和我通讯吧？

UMP45I told you. I've got something big for you... and it's a surprise♪早就说了，是来给你送一份大礼的……是惊喜哟♪

416I shouldn't have contacted you from the beginning... Fine, as long as I don't hang up the comm, right?刚刚就不该联系你们……总之只要我不挂断通讯就可以了吧？

(416's voice on the comms expresses a tinge of self-deprecation, coinciding with the sound of gunfire intensifying.)（通讯中HK416的声音充满了自暴自弃，炮火声更加激烈了。）

(UMP45 chuckles, cranking both the output and input of the comm terminal to the maximum, then swings it around with her finger.)（UMP45轻笑了一下，把通讯终端的输出和输入音量都调到最大，用手指勾着甩了甩。）

UMP45Okay♪ Now you'll be able to hear. 9.OK♪这样就能听到了吧。 9。

UMP9Ah...eh?啊……哎？

UMP45Didn't you say you want to go on a trip? Seems like this is the only way for the two of them to participate. Let's roll.不是要度假吗？看起来她们两个只能这样参加了。 就这样开始吧。

UMP9Oh...okay.哦……好吧。

UMP9First of all, I hope everyone can change into appropriate attire. Since we're at the beach, I've prepared us swimsuits. By the way, I've turned off all the cameras in the conference room, so no need to worry about that♪首先，希望大家换上适当的衣服。因为是海边，我准备了一些泳装。顺带一提，会议室里的摄像头我也已经全部关掉啦，可以不用顾虑地换装哦♪

416Swimsuits? What the hell are you up to?泳装？你们到底在搞什么鬼？

UMP45These two probably can't change into swimsuits on the battlefield, but it's also unfair if we're the only ones to do it. Hmm, let's skip this step.这两个人在战场上可没办法换泳装呢，只有我们换的话，也太不公平了。 嗯，这一步就跳过吧。

UMP9Skip... Well, fine.跳过啊……唔，好吧。

UMP9Next up... beach volleyball! Form teams of 2 with a partner and play against each other! I heard this sport is very popular among humans! Hmm... we can't do that either...下面是……沙滩排球！2人组成搭档进行对战，听说这项运动在人类中很有人气！ 唔……但现在也不能……

UMP45You heard that, 416? It's volleyball time. The losers... let me see... will need to donate their Dummies as spare parts for others to use~听到了吗416，要打排球了哦，输的人……我想想……就把素体拿出来给赢的队伍当备用零件吧~

416We can't possibly play at this moment! Stop making all the decisions by yourself, you asshole!打不了吧？！不要自说自话啊，混蛋！

UMP45Yeah, that sounds about right. Let's skip this one as well, 9.哈，也是呢，那这一项也跳过吧，9。

UMP9Skipping this one too?! Well... let's see, next we have... resting time. Time to sunbathe on the beach! I've got a small bucket and shovel for G11 too.这一项也跳过？！ 唔……我想想，下面的话……就是休息时间了，可以在沙滩上晒太阳哦。我也给G11准备了小桶和铲子。

UMP45Is it not a projection? Did you actually prepare real sand?不是投影吗？难道你还准备了真的沙子？

UMP9No. I can't find usable sand anywhere... so it's just for the atmosphere.没有，我哪里都找不到能用的沙子……所以只是气氛道具啦。

UMP45Let's just sit down then. It's nice to feel the sea breeze blowing. 416, can you hear the sound of the waves?那我们就坐下，吹吹海风也不错。 416，听到海浪的声音了吗？

416Do. You. Really. Think I can hear ANYTHING? Don't go that far, G11!不——可能——听得到吧！ G11不要冲那么远！

Gr G11Ahhhh— Ohhhhhhhh—啊啊——噢噢噢噢——

(Rumbling explosions keep blaring out of the terminal, and 416 falls silent for a while.)（通讯终端中传来轰隆隆的爆炸声，等了很久也没有传来416的回复。）

UMP45Uh-huh. Looks like everyone got comfy and fell asleep. Next~嗯嗯，看来大家都已经舒服得睡着了。下一项下一项~

UMP9That's too quick, 45!太快了吧45姐！

UMP45But, everyone is well rested now.可是，大家都已经休息好了哦。

UMP9Well... up next is the grand finale I've prepared: a firework festival! I've found some really rare fireworks footage—Ah, but the projector is broken, so there's only sound...唔……下面就是我准备的压轴环节啦，是烟·花·大·会·哦！我准备了超稀有的烟花影像——啊，但是投影坏了，只有声音……

UMP45What a shame, but it'll do. 416, you gotta appreciate the beauty of these fireworks!虽然有点遗憾，但也只能这样了。 416，要好好领悟烟花的美丽啊。

(UMP9 runs to the projector and presses a few buttons. The sound of fireworks exploding overhead erupts in the small room, and both UMP9 and UMP45 cover their ears at the same time.)（UMP9跑到投影仪边上，“滴滴滴”地按了几个按钮，烟花升空爆炸的声音在小小的房间里炸开。UMP9和UMP45同时捂上了耳朵。）

UMP9Did. You. Hear. That. 416—416——你——听——到——了——吗——

416What— Whaaaaat?! What is happening? Was that an earthquake on your side?什么——什么啊？！发生什么了？是你那边地震了吗？！

UMP9What you are saying— I can't hear—你说什么——我听不见——

416It's too loud. Turn it off for now— Turn it—太吵了，总之先把什么——关上——

Gr G11416... She's running out... of power...416……电量快要……耗尽了……

416Don't stop now— Spare batteries—你这家伙别在这个时候停下啊——备用电池——

UMP9Did you say— Don't stop now—?你是说——别——停下——吗——？

UMP9Eh? Why did it stop all of a sudden?诶？怎么突然停下了？

(UMP9 stops covering her ears and kicks the projector with her foot. The projector falls silent for a moment, spits out an ear-splitting noise accompanied by a burst of sparks, and then finally ceases to function.)（UMP9松开捂住耳朵的手，用脚踢了踢投影仪。投影仪沉寂了一会，发出刺耳的的声音，最后滋滋地冒了一阵火花，停止了运行。）

(With silence abruptly settling back, UMP9 stares blankly at the projector, then at UMP45. The two, bemused by the absurd outcome, burst into laughter.)（突然安静下来的房间里，UMP9呆呆地看了看投影仪，又愣愣地看向UMP45。两个人被滑稽的突发状况逗笑。）

(...)（……）

UMP45Pffft.噗。

UMP9....Hehe. Hahahaha♪……嘿嘿，哈哈哈哈哈♪

UMP45How was that? Was it fun?怎么样，还高兴吗？

UMP9Yeah! Being with everyone is the best! And... well, how should I put this... It feels like...嗯！和大家在一起最高兴了！ 而且……嗯，怎么说呢……总觉得……

UMP45Feels like?总觉得？

UMP9Feels like I'm way more at ease now. Hehe♪ Though, I think I forgot something... What is it...?总觉得安心了不少。嘿嘿♪ 不过，好像忘记了什么……是什么呢……

UMP9...Ah— Right, I forgot about the big thing!……啊——忘记正事了啊！

Section 5 第五节

UMP9T-this transparent thing should be the lens; then it should be connected to... Hmm, here? But the size is wrong...这个，这个透明的应该是镜头吧，那它应该连着……唔，这里？可是空间大小不对……

UMP45Just force the lid on. Alright, get out of the way.强行盖上盖子就行了吧，好啦好啦，让开。

(Inside the room, the projector has been disassembled. UMP45 and UMP9 are kneeling on the floor, surrounded by the scattered parts.)（房间里，投影仪已经被拆开，在洒了一地的零件中，UMP45和UMP9两个人正蹲在地上。）

(UMP9 picks up a part reluctantly and inserts it into the remains of the projector. Just as she retracts her hand, UMP45 loudly closes the projector's casing.)（UMP9迟疑地拿起一块零件，放进投影仪的残骸。她刚缩回手，UMP45就“哐”的一声把投影仪的外壳合起来了。）

UMP9But there are still a lot of parts left out here!可是还有好多零件在外面啊45姐！

UMP45Don't worry about it, as long as it works. See♪ It's working.不用在意，能运转起来就好。 哈♪这不是能行嘛。

UMP9Hmm... seems... not quite right?唔……好像……不太对？

UMP45Turn it off.关掉吧。

(With a blank expression, UMP45 kicks the switch with her foot. The projector, which had been playing out-of-tune, eerie music, lets out a shriek, erupts in sparks, and then obediently stops working.)（UMP45面无表情地用脚踢了一下开关，正在播放着不成调的诡异音乐的投影仪呻吟了一声，爆出几颗火星，乖巧地停止了运行。）

UMP9T-that's not really nice, is it...?这、这样不太好吧45姐……

UMP45Fine, fine. I'll go apologize to Persica with you afterward.好了好了，之后我和你一起去向帕斯卡道歉。

UMP45Okay, enough goofing around. We were just talking about... new names, right?好，胡闹够了。刚刚我们在说……新名字对吧？

UMP9Yes... it's really Miss Kalin's suggestion.嗯……是格琳姐的建议啦。

UMP45Well, she also brought it up to me.唔，她也和我提起过。

UMP9I was going to discuss it with everyone during the vacation, but I forgot... The fireworks were too loud! Now we can't get in touch with 416 and G11. I hope they're okay...本来打算大家一起度假的时候商量的，结果忘记了……一定是因为那个烟花的声音太吵啦！ 现在416和G11也联系不上了，她们没事吧……

UMP45Ha, what's there to worry about with those two. Leave them be, let's decide on our new names first. Any ideas?哈，那两个人有什么好担心的。 别管她们了，先决定我们的新名字好了。你有什么想法？

UMP9Ugh...唔……

UMP45If not, have a look at this—here, "A Guide to Common Female Names in URNC". It's actually Kalin who gave it to me a while ago.没什么想法的话，可以翻翻这个——给，《罗联常见女名手册》，也是格琳之前给我的啦。

(UMP45 sits next to UMP9, rummages through her pocket for a small handbook, then tosses it over to UMP9 leaning on the projector.)（UMP45坐到UMP9身边，从外套口袋里翻出一个薄薄的小册子，丢给靠在投影仪上的UMP9。）

UMP9What about... you giving me a new name, 45?不然……45姐给我起一个名字吧？

UMP45Me...? I remember you used to be called "Reina"... Should we keep that name around?我起啊…… 我记得你以前是叫“莱娜”吧，还用这个名字怎么样？

UMP9Reina... Sounds great, hehe♪莱娜……不错呢，嘿嘿♪

UMP45Don't start giggling all of a sudden, 9.不要突然开始傻笑啊，9。

LennaYou mean Reina, right? Hehe♪ I'm so happy that 45 still remembers the details of our first encounter!是莱娜才对啦！嘿嘿♪ 我很开心嘛，45姐竟然还记得我们第一次见面时的事情！

LennaHmm... This name is actually in the handbook? Let's change up the spelling a little bit... keep the overall pronunciation... and voila, "Lenna"♪唔……手册上还真有这个名字？那我稍微……变化一下……改一下拼写……嗯，发音一样的，那就决定叫莱娜啦♪

UMP45...Seeing how easy you are to please, I'm starting to get jealous.……这么容易开心，我都要嫉妒你了。

LennaCome on, don't make fun of me! Now, what should we call you in the future then...?真是的，不要嘲笑我啦！ 唔，那45姐的新名字叫什么好呢……

(UMP45 takes the handbook from Lenna's hand, opens it to a random page, and points at the very first name in sight.)（UMP45拿过莱娜手中的小册子，随便打开一页，指着第一行的名字。）

UMP45This one will do.就这个吧。

LennaHow can you just pick one randomly!怎么能随便指一个呢！

UMP45It doesn't matter, right? It's just a name.没关系吧？只是个名字而已。

LennaNo can do! Leave it to me, I'll pick for you!不行！交给我，我来选！

(Lenna flips through the pages vigorously while reading through every name attentively. UMP45 leans on her shoulder, resting with eyes closed while waiting for her to make up her mind.)（莱娜动作十分用力地翻开手册，认真地看了起来，UMP45靠在她肩上，一边闭上眼睛休息，一边等她做出决定。）

LennaNone of them feels suitable... Uh, speaking of, what does "Lenna" even mean?感觉好像都不太合适啊…… 呃，说起来，莱娜是什么意思啊？

UMP45You don't know? Despite it being your own name.你不知道？明明是你自己的名字。

LennaBut I really have no idea. There were a lot of children named Lenna in the town where I lived. I didn't give much thought to it and simply went with it.可是我真的不知道呀。当时城镇里叫莱娜的小孩子很多，我也没想那么多，就跟着叫了嘛。

LennaHmm... let's check the handbook! If we go with my current spelling... "Popular in some regions, derived from 'lion', meaning 'the brave one' "... Lion, huh...唔……我看看手册！如果是按照我现在的写法……“在某些地区流行，来源于‘狮子’，引申为‘勇敢的人’”……唔……狮子……

(Lenna sets down the handbook and looks up at the ceiling, pondering.)（莱娜放下手册，仰头看着天花板，思考起来。）

LennaThe lion, it's spelled with... Hmm, let's keep them similar! So... "Leva"!狮子……发音是……唔，要相似一点！那就……莱娅！

LennaHow does that sound, 45?45姐，怎么样！

UMP45Leva?莱娅？

LennaYep! It's got a "lion" aura to it but with a cute twist! Bonus point for it bearing some resemblance to "Lenna"—which, just like what Miss Kalin said, family members use similar-sounding names!嗯！有“狮子”的感觉，还加了一点可爱的改变，听上去也和“莱娜”像家人一样——这是格琳姐说的哦，家人之间会用发音相近的名字！

LennaHow about it? Huh? Let's use this one! It's the perfect name for 45!怎么样怎么样，就这个吧？这是最适合45姐的名字啦！

UMP45Yeah, let's go with this one.好，就这个吧。

LennaLeva~Leva♪莱娅姐、莱娅姐♪

LennaFirst off, let me change the name in the contact~总之先把通讯终端里的备注改掉~

LevaNo need to be in such a hurry, right?也不用这么着急吧？

LennaAnnnd—it's done!嗯——改好啦！

LennaActually, I was thinking that Miss Kalin is right... Mere names won't change our bonds♪其实呀，我在想……格琳姐说得对……名字不会改变大家的关系♪

LennaBut, that's not to say everyone hasn't changed at all!但是，也不是说大家完全没有改变哦！

LevaOf course, like 416... Heh, at least she's a bit more elite-like on the surface now. You're certainly more dependable, too.当然，现在的416……哈，至少表面上也有点精英的样子了。你也多少更加可靠一些了。

LennaHehe♪ And I'll become even more reliable, then help Leva, Miss Kalin and everyone else out!嘿嘿♪之后会变得更加可靠，然后帮莱娅姐、格琳姐还有大家的忙！

LennaAnd then, once we reunite with the Commander, I'm sure they'll be impressed by how much I've grown~ Hehe♪然后然后，等到下次和指挥官见面，可靠的我一定会给指挥官留下深刻印象的吧~嘿嘿♪

LevaHa, quite ambitious of you.哈，野心不小嘛。

LennaJust you wait, Leva!莱娅姐你就好好期待吧！

LennaBesides, I'll have to protect this family... Right! 416 and G11 don't have their own new names yet. Let's help them out as well!而且我要好好保护这个家嘛……啊对了！416和G11的新名字还没有起，干脆帮她们也决定一下！

(Leva extends her arm and hits Lenna squarely on the head.)（莱娅伸出手，给莱娜的脑袋来了一记手刀。）

LevaThose two aren't as nice as I am. You might as well think about how you're going to apologize to Persica.她们俩可不像我这么好说话。你还是先想想，要怎么和帕斯卡道歉吧。

LennaI-I will apologize properly!我、我会好好道歉啦！

LennaLeva, thank you for staying with me today. I'm happy... very, very happy!莱娅姐，谢谢你今天陪我。我很开心……非常、非常开心哦！

LevaHa. Saying "thank you" feels like something unnecessary between family members.哈，“谢谢”这种词，可不需要出现在家人之间。

LennaLeva...Yeah! You're right, we've always been a family!莱娅姐……嗯！没错，我们一直是家人啊。

LennaEven if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't... Uh... That...就算你们不说，我也不会……呃……那个……

LevaFelt as if you were being left behind?觉得自己被留下？

LennaNope! Absolutely no way!没有没有！绝对没有啦！

LennaPlease, what are you even talking about? There's no way I would ever—真是的，莱娅姐在说什么啊，我才没有——

LevaHm?嗯？

LennaA-anyway, I won't do that again. Hehe♪总、总之，以后绝对不会啦，嘿嘿♪

Section 6 第六节

(On one fine afternoon, Lenna shared with me in the lounge the day she and Leva changed their names—)（某个天气晴朗的下午，莱娜和我在休息室中一起回忆起了她和莱娅改名那天的事——）

LennaHaha—so that happened back then♪哈哈——当时还发生过这样的事呢♪

LennaOops~ Bursting into tears just because I was worried... thinking about it now makes me feel all the more embarrassed!哎呀哎呀~因为不安而大哭了一顿什么的……现在想想还有点不好意思呢！

LennaEverything... changed too drastically and too abruptly at the time. The Commander was gone... Leva and Klukai were on missions all the time. I-I was really scared....当时的一切都……变化太大了，指挥官不在我身边……莱娅姐和可露凯她们也时常见不到，我、我太害怕了……

LennaCommander, are you going to laugh at me now?指挥官你是不是要嘲笑我了？

CommanderNo way. But then, you settled down, right?怎么会。不过，后来，你就安定下来了吧？

LennaYeah. Hehe, after getting a name resembling Leva's, I feel much more at ease♪是呀。 嘿嘿，有了和莱娅姐类似的名字之后，就更觉得安心了♪

LennaMoreover, I have figured it out. Leva is still the same Leva, and Commander... must still be the same Commander who regards me as family.而且，我也想清楚了，莱娅姐还是那个莱娅姐，那……指挥官一定也是那个，把我视作家人的指挥官。

LennaJust the thought of that makes our temporary separation bearable! On top of taking good care of Miss Kalin, Leva, and the others!一想到这些，就觉得暂时的分离也能忍受！而且还要把格琳姐、莱娅姐她们都照顾得好好的！

LennaEveryone's moving forward. I can't afford to stay put.大家都在前进，我也不能一直停留在原地啊。

LennaI'm going to show the Commander how much I've grown, and then wait until we meet again to give them a big surprise!我要让指挥官看到我的成长，然后等到再见面的时候，狠狠地吓指挥官一大跳！

LennaWell... But... Although I just said I could bear temporary separation...唔……不过……虽然是可以忍受暂时的分离啦……

CommanderHowever?但是？

Lenna...But, I must admit that I still prefer the feeling of having the Commander close by!……嗯！但是果然还是更喜欢指挥官就在身边的感觉♪

LennaThat's right! Why don't we go on a vacation and travel together now, Commander!对了！要不然现在就休假一起去旅行吧，指挥官！

LennaI'm talking a real trip, not a projection, but actually finding a beach or something.我是说真正的旅行，不是用投影那种，而是真的找一处海边沙滩什么的。

CommanderWhy a trip all of a sudden?为什么突然想旅行？

LennaBecause I want to be closer to the Commander♪因为想跟指挥官感情升温呀♪

LennaTraveling is a great way to get closer, right?旅行是促进感情的好方式对吧？

LennaMoreover, although we've traveled with everyone in the past... It's not often that we find two of us alone together...而且，虽然以前大家也一起旅行过……但是和指挥官两个人的旅行，总是比较少的嘛……

LennaThe Commander has always been occupied with this and that!指挥官一直都在忙这个忙那个的！

CommanderUs two? Aren't everyone else coming with us?两个人？大家不一起去吗？

LennaAh, everyone together? Well... although it would be great to see everyone around...啊，大家一起吗？ 唔……虽然大家一起也很热闹啦……

LennaLet me have it all to myself just this once, please?但是，偶尔让我独占一下，也是可以的吧？

LennaI've been working so hard, so why don't you give me a little reward, Commander?我都这么努力了，指挥官就稍微奖励我一下嘛♪

LennaBesides... there are things I wish to tell the Commander alone...而且……而且我也有些话，想单独跟指挥官说……

LennaJust like when we all decided on our new names, find a scenic spot, wait until the time is right...就像大家一起决定名字时那样，找一个风景好的地方，等时机合适了……

LennaOnly then can I tell the Commander properly♪然后再好好地告诉指挥官才行哦♪

LennaAnd— No asking me what it's about right now. It's a secret~ top secret!啊啊——现在不可以问我是什么话，保密哦~保密！

Commander...I see. I'll arrange it if I can make some time.……我知道了，有空的话，我来安排一下。

LennaHmph♪ Then let the invincible Lenna help you out!哼哼♪就让无敌的莱娜来帮忙安排吧！

LennaI'll show you just how formidable Lenna has gotten now! Hehe♪我要让指挥官见识一下，现在的莱娜有多厉害！嘻嘻♪

LennaThen it's deal, Commander. Don't you ghost me~那就说定啦指挥官，可不许放我鸽子哦。

CommanderMm.嗯。

Life's Surprises 生活中的惊喜

LennaCommander! What kind of surprises do you like?指挥官！你喜欢什么样的惊喜？

Why ask that out of the blue?怎么忽然问我这个？

You're planning to surprise me?你想给我惊喜？

LennaIt's not every day that everyone is aboard the Elmo.好不容易大家才有机会一起在艾莫号上生活。

LennaSo, we should make more fun memories~就应该创造更多有趣的回忆~

LennaHow about filming a documentary? Holding a party would be nice too.在艾莫号上拍纪录片怎么样？或者举办聚会也不错。

LennaI just want to know your preferences, Commander. It's fine if you don't want to say.只是问问指挥官的偏好而已，指挥官不说也没关系。

LennaI'll prepare plenty of surprises in that case—at least one of them will make you happy.我会准备足够多的惊喜，总有一个是能让指挥官开心的。

LennaPlease look forward to them, Commander~敬请期待吧，指挥官~

Saved Videos 筹备的影片

LennaCommander~ I heard you watched the movie featuring me and Leva with Makiatto.指挥官~我听说你和玛绮朵一起看了我和莱娅姐一起拍的影片。

LennaHow was it?感觉怎么样？

You mean that horror movie?你是指那个恐怖片？

Uhm... I didn't really pay attention.唔……其实没太留意。

LennaEh, horror movie? I thought that kind of thing would never scare you, Commander.诶，恐怖片？我还以为指挥官看了绝对不会害怕呢。

LennaAlthough Makiatto said she finished the movie, I bet she didn't dare to keep her eyes open during the whole thing.虽然玛绮朵说她全部看完了，不过……我猜她一定不敢看完所有细节。

LennaIt wasn't actually that scary—next time we'll try a different direction.其实没那么恐怖啦——下次我会换一种风格录制的。

LennaEh—when I asked Makiatto for her thoughts, she told me to ask you.诶——我问玛绮朵有什么感想，她让我问指挥官你呢。

LennaDon't tell me you didn't watch it carefully either?难道都没仔细看么？

LennaDon't worry, the next movie will be ready for screening soon. Be sure to let me know your thoughts by then~没关系，我会准备下一部影片给指挥官，到时候记得告诉我感想哦~

Section 3 第三节

LennaUm... I'm not quite the same? Hm... I guess I grew in various ways.唔……我不太一样了？嗯……多少还是会有些成长的吧，各种方面。

LennaHmhmhm♪ Good morning, Commander~ You want to know how I'm doing? I was about to contact Leva~ Ehehe♪哼哼哼♪早上好啊指挥官——我？我接下来要去联络莱娅姐哦~哎嘿嘿♪

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

LennaYep~ And at first, I thought everyone had changed so much over the years—是的~最开始我觉得大家在这么多年里变了很多——

LennaOnly to later realize that everyone's aspirations never changed!不过，后来我发现，大家的初心从来没变过！

Lenna404 is our “family”, and you, Commander, are the important place where we shall return.404是我们的“家”，而指挥官，你是我们最重要的归处。

CommanderFeels like I haven't seen much of Leva lately.最近怎么很少看到莱娅？

LennaOh? Are you concerned about Leva's whereabouts, Commander?哦？指挥官很关心莱娅姐的下落吗？

LennaHmph-hmph-hmph... I'm starting to get a bit jealous now.哼、哼、哼，我可是有点吃醋了哦。

LennaBut you've come to the right Doll; I've got the deets on what Leva's been up to recently.这个问题问我就对了，我知道莱娅姐最近在忙什么。

CommanderThis picture is...这张照片是……

LennaAh—You saw that picture of my outfit, Commander?啊——指挥官竟然看到我的装扮了吗？

LennaDressing up in all sorts of pretty clothes is a hobby of mine. By the way, I would also do the same for Leva.穿不同好看的衣服是我的兴趣爱好啦。我也会给莱娅姐准备衣服。

LennaHehehe, Commander—There anything you wanna see me wear? Your wish is my command.嘿嘿嘿，指挥官——想看我穿什么？我会满足你的心愿哦。

CommanderI heard that you've put in a request for plant fertilizer?听说你申请了植物养料？

LennaYep. If you wanna grow 'em well, you've gotta get some fertilizer.没错，想要植物能够获得充足的生长，肥料是不可缺少的。

CommanderUnderstood. I'll purchase some for you as soon as possible.明白了，我会尽快为你采购。

LennaThat's my Commander—my perpetual wish granter! Y'know, I've got plenty of wishes in stock—不愧是指挥官，什么心愿都能为我实现，我想要的东西还有很多哦——

CommanderQuite the rare sight to see you all moody.难得遇到你似乎不太开心的状态。

LennaAha~ Looks like even the slightest change can't escape your gaze, Commander.啊啦~稍微和平时状态有些不一样都会被指挥官发现吗？

LennaHmm... Say, what kind of clothes do you think Leva will like?唔……你说莱娅姐会喜欢什么样的衣服呢？

CommanderSo that's what you were worrying about...原来你是在忧心这个问题吗……

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。

Family Vlog Ⅰ 家庭影像记录·Ⅰ

LennaLa-la-la, I brought the camera, Commander. Ready to film some family vlogs together♪?啦啦啦，我把相机拿过来了。指挥官，准备好和我一起拍摄家庭影片了吗♪

CommanderHold on, Lenna. I don't mind joining you, but could you remind me just when did this become a tradition of ours?等一下，莱娜。陪你倒是可以，但是你能不能先提醒一下我们什么时候有这样的传统了。

LennaHmm, I've never told you before...? Anyway, I don't mind explaining it again.唔，我之前没有告诉指挥官吗……算啦，反正也就是再说一遍的事情。

Lenna404's routinely been separated by various tasks and duties as of late—it's been a good while since we last saw each other.最近404小队的大家经常因为各种任务分开，很长~很长时间都见不到彼此。

LennaBeing a family and all, there's no way around that feeling of loneliness when we're separated from each other and you, Commander.毕竟我们和指挥官是一家人，如果因为执行任务而分开肯定会感受到寂寞。

LennaAdding on top not being able to return to the Elmo, it's hard to not sink into a gloomy mood...再加上任务一时半会无法返回艾莫号的话，难免会让自己的心智陷入低沉……

LennaSo after some considerations and brainstorming, I came up with this perfect idea♪于是在一番思考后，我就想出了这个两全其美的方法♪

CommanderYou mean... filming family vlogs?你是指……拍摄家庭影片？

LennaYep! Filming family vlogs♪没错没错！就是拍摄家庭影片♪

LennaAccording to... Ehh... Anyway, according to a magazine whose name I forgot, occasionally reviewing happy memories helps with Dolls' emotion-processing modules.根据……根据……总之，根据我忘了名字的期刊显示，时不时回顾美好的事情可以有助于提升人形心智的情感处理模块。

LennaSee! I got this camera from Miss Kalin. It already has plenty of our past memories stored inside~你看！这可是我从格琳娜姐那借来的摄影机，里面记录了很多我们以前的事情呢~

(Lenna gleefully pulls me close, turns on the camera, and begins narrating attentively.)（莱娜开心地把我拉到身边，打开手中的摄像机认真地向我讲解。）

LennaSay, do you remember this past Christmas, Commander?比如这次圣诞节指挥官你还有印象吗？

LennaI remember playing the reindeer, while Leva and the Commander dressed up as Santa and handed out gifts together.我还记得是我扮演的麋鹿，莱娅姐和指挥官则是扮成圣诞老人一起发礼物。

LennaAnd this one too, last Halloween. Mechty put up her zombie costume and fell asleep motionless—as if she was really dead♪还有这次，这次万圣节的时候，米什缇扮演的僵尸睡过去了一动不动，简直就和真的一样♪

Lenna...Commander? Are you all right? That look on your face...……指挥官？您没事吧？为什么您的表情……

(As I reminisce about things I wasn't expecting to remember, I too am overcome with nostalgia.)（稍微回忆起了连自己都没料到还记得的往事，我也不禁陷入对过往的感伤之中。）

CommanderI'm fine, just... Hmm, I almost forgot about those times. Didn't expect there were videos to remind me of them.我没事，只是……嗯，原来也有这样的时候呢。没想到会有影像记录保留下来。

LennaOf course there are♪ These memories are my most treasured possessions.那是当然的啊♪这些回忆可都是我珍藏的宝物呢。

CommanderI see, I understand what you mean now, Lenna.原来如此，我理解你的意思了，莱娜。

CommanderIn that case, let's film something together and forge more beautiful memories.既然这样的话，就让我们一起拍摄影片，创造更多美好的回忆吧。

LennaYes! I bet everyone in 404 will be so happy to see these too!嗯！404小队的大家看到影片一定会很开心的！

CommanderSpeaking of, since we're filming a family video, where is everyone else?说起来，既然要拍家庭影片的话，404的其他人现在在哪里？

LennaThey're all still on missions~ For now, let's just film a part with us two alone, then we can send it to everyone for their responses...大家都还在执行任务啦~这次就先拍摄我和指挥官单独相处的部分，之后会发给大家看，听大家的感想……

LennaWeird. Why are you suddenly sweating, Commander? Did I say something wrong?奇怪，指挥官你为什么突然流了那么多汗？是我说错什么了吗？

CommanderI don't know either. I just suddenly felt some sort of pressure. It's nothing, let's get started.我也不知道，只是突然感受到一种压力。没什么，总之我们还是先拍摄吧。

Family Vlog Ⅱ 家庭影像记录·Ⅱ

Commander...Lenna, are you sure these lines on the script are correct?……莱娜，你确定这个台本上写的没问题吗？

LennaRelax, Commander~ I carefully picked these from scenes in those family movies.你就安心啦指挥官~这些可都是我从那些讲家庭的电影中精挑细选出来的桥段♪

LennaJust read what's on the page and I'll handle the rest~指挥官只管照着上面念就好了，剩下的部分我会来配合你的~

CommanderAlright, if you say so...好吧，既然莱娜你都那么说了……

CommanderI still remember that afternoon. We were so close that I could reach out and touch you.“我仍然记得那个午后。当时我离你那么近，近到伸手就能触碰到你。”

CommanderBut you didn't notice me back then, and 15 seconds was all I got before I had to leave.“但那时的你还没有注意到我，而我距离离开，只剩下最后的15秒。”

CommanderSo I say... my beautiful, like an angel fallen to earth, will you...“于是，我说……美丽的，如同坠入凡间的天使，你是否愿意……”

LennaYes! I will come with you!愿意！我愿意跟你走！

CommanderI'm not done reading yet, Lenna... And that's not how the script goes.我还没念完呢，莱娜……而且台本上的台词也不是这样的。

LennaWhy does it matter! A little adaptation like that fits our relationship better~这又有什么关系嘛！适当的改编才更符合我和指挥官的关系呀~

CommanderFine, fine. You're the director after all, it's your call.好吧好吧，莱娜你是导演，你说了算。

CommanderBut is this alteration really appropriate? I remember that in the original film...不过，这样的剧情真的合适吗？在本来的电影里……

CommanderThe female lead chose to part ways with her lover for his dream after the embrace, didn't she?我记得女主角为了爱人的梦想，在拥抱之后还是选择了分开不是吗？

LennaI didn't think that far. I just like that long shot of the two embracing each other—it's so nice and romantic.我没想那么多，只是很喜欢两个人抱在一起的长镜头而已，觉得很好很浪漫。

LennaAlso, didn't they reunite by the end of the film?而且，在故事的最后男女主角不是也重逢了吗？

LennaJust like us, Commander; despite trials and tribulations, I've returned to your side.就像我和指挥官一样，虽然历经波折，但最后还是回到了您的身边。

Commander...Well, I guess you're right.……嗯，你说得没错。

LennaCommander, don't stop moving—the camera's still rolling~指挥官指挥官，手可别停下来啊，摄像机还录着呢~

LennaNow's the crucial hug scene. Come on, Commander♪现在可是最关键的拥抱镜头，来吧指挥官♪

(We hold onto each other silently. Seeing Lenna flush, my heartbeat also picks up.)（我们静静相拥。当看到莱娜面部划过绯红，心跳的咚咚声也比之前快了几分。）

CommanderI reckon we've held long enough for the footage, Lenna, and the camera's almost out of battery.我们已经抱够了影片的时长了哦，莱娜，摄像机也快没电了。

LennaHmm, but the director wants to hug a little longer~嗯，可导演还想再多抱一会~

LennaBut you just said it yourself, Commander—the director calls the shots now~刚才指挥官不也说了吗，现在可是导演说了算的时间哦~

CommanderI guess there's no helping it... I can't go against the director's words after all.既然这样的话，那就没办法了……可不能违抗导演呢。

CommanderBut Lenna, is this really meant to be a family video for 404...?不过莱娜，这真的要作为给404小队看的家庭摄影吗……

LennaOf course it is. Everyone should see how loving our little family with the Commander is!当然了，要让大家看看我和指挥官相亲相爱一家人的样子啊！

Commander...I see. I'm also a little eager to see the result.……没事，我隐隐还有点小期待。

Family Vlog Ⅲ 家庭影像记录·Ⅲ

LennaFeels like all I've done lately is snuggling up to the Commander to film videos. Hehe... I'm so happy.最近总是和指挥官腻在一起拍摄影片，嘿嘿……好开心。

LennaThough, it feels like there's still something missing, something's not quite right...可是，总感觉目前为止的内容还是少了点东西，有哪里不太够……

CommanderWhat's wrong, Lenna? Is there something on your mind?怎么了莱娜，你是在为什么而烦恼吗？

LennaOh. I was just watching the videos we shot before and kept feeling as if they lack something, even though the mood and dialogues are all perfect... It really is strange.是这样的。我刚刚回看了一下之前拍摄的影片，总感觉它缺少了什么。明明气氛和台词都已经到位了……还真是奇怪啊。

LennaI just messaged Leva for her opinion... Ah, she just replied!我刚刚发了消息给莱娅姐想听听她的意见……啊，正好收到回复了！

LennaIf you're unsure, try adding some physical contact—like scenes where you two are pressed together? That has more of a family energy" to it. I'm sure Klukai is a big fan of it as well."“如果感觉苦恼的话，不妨加一点身体接触，互相贴在一起的桥段？那样的话更有家人的感觉，可露凯她们应该也会喜欢吧。”

LennaRight! Why didn't I think of that! Commander, let's record the cuddly parts!对啊，我怎么没想到呢！指挥官，我们来补录贴贴的部分吧！

Commander...Hold on, you sure what Leva suggested is okay?……等一下，你确定莱娅她说的内容没有问题吗？

LennaOf course. Leva is smarter than I am, naturally she's better at spotting the key problem♪当然啦，莱娅姐比我聪明，自然一下就看出问题的关键♪

LennaUnless... You don't want to cuddle with me, Commander? Am I being annoying to you?还是说……指挥官，是您不想和人家多做贴贴吗？是我让您感觉到讨厌了吗？

CommanderNo way. How could I? If that's what you want, let's record.没这回事，我怎么会讨厌莱娜呢？既然是你的愿望，那就来补录吧。

LennaYay, awesome! Leva was right after all!耶，好耶！看来莱娅姐说的没错！

LennaIf the Commander hesitates, just act coy towards him, and he will surely relent by the end.“万一指挥官犹豫了，你就只管向指挥官撒娇，指挥官最后一定会答应的。”

Commander...I feel like I need to have a good talk with Leva once she's back.……总感觉等莱娅回来要好好和她增进一下交流了。

LennaMmm-hmm, more communication is also crucial for strengthening our familial bond~ Come on, Commander, give me your hand♪嗯嗯，多交流也是增进家人感情的一部分~来吧指挥官，把手给我♪

Lenna...Yes. Now interlace your fingers with mine, and then wrap your other hand around my waist.……对，就像现在十指相握，然后另一只手环绕在我的腰上。

CommanderAre we posturing for a dance? Who's going to film in that case?这个姿势是打算跳舞吗？可这样的话，摄影的工作该交给谁呢？

LennaHehe, I've already anticipated this, so I've installed some fixed cameras to handle it.嘿嘿，其实我早就预想到了会有这种情况，因此提前设计好了固定位置的相机。

LennaNow, Commander. What we'll do next is to dance within this area. Be careful not to step outside.指挥官，我们接下来要做的就是在这个范围里舞蹈，小心不要离开区域哦。

LennaLet me guide you to the moves♪ One-two, one-two...至于引导就交给我吧♪一哒哒，二哒哒……

(And so, Lenna and I dance to a gentle tune.)（就这样，我和莱娜在悠扬的曲子中跳了一支舞。）

CommanderOw ow ow...痛痛痛……

LennaAre you alright, Commander?! It's my bad, I'm such a klutz. Sorry for stepping on you this many times during the dance...指挥官您不要紧吧！对不起都怪我笨手笨脚的，在舞蹈的过程中踩了你好几次……

CommanderI'm fine. I thought you had some decent motion-control modules; making this many mistakes isn't typical of you.没关系啦。我记得莱娜你的运动模块不是挺好的嘛，失误那么多不像你平时的风格啊。

Lenna...I'm just a little nervous. Do you remember what the movie's couple did after this scene, Commander?……我有点太紧张了。指挥官，您还记得电影这一幕后，男女主角间做了什么吗？

CommanderIf I'm not mistaken, she kisses him right as the musical piece ends...如果我没有记错的话，应该是女主角在乐曲结束的时候亲吻了男主角……

LennaSo, should I carry on following the movie's script?那，我要继续按照电影里的桥段演下去咯？

(Before I even realize it, a gentle, sweet sensation brushes against my lips, as delicate and fleeting as the dip of a dragonfly.)（未等我反应过来，感到一阵柔软的甜美触感，犹如蜻蜓点水般消散。）

CommanderLenna...莱娜……

LennaEhehe, Commander... love.哎嘿嘿，指挥官……喜欢。

LennaFor the Commander who likes to keep his distance with the family, we have to be the ones to strike first—that's what Leva said.对于习惯性和家人保持距离的指挥官，要由我们这边主动靠近才行——莱娅姐姐是这样说的。

LennaI'll go edit the footage now, Commander. Please look forward to it.人家这就回去剪片子，指挥官，你就敬请期待吧。

Commander...You're leaving that part in? Are you sure? Was that really an appropriate scene for a family video?……要剪进去？你确定？刚刚那是家庭影片该有的镜头吗？

Family Vlog Ⅳ 家庭影像记录·Ⅳ

LennaCommander, the last family video got some great responses~指挥官，上一次的家庭影片反响不错哦~

LennaI posted it to 404's private server and the chat immediately exploded! Even Klukai was spamming voice messages even though she's still on a mission.我发给404小队的群聊里之后，群里一下子就变得热闹了，就连正在执行任务的可露凯都加急发了好几条呢。

LennaI haven't had time to check them yet, so I forwarded them to my voicemail.不过我暂时还没时间查看消息，就先把它们转到语音邮箱了。

LennaSee? It already has hundreds of unread messages♪您看！就这么一会的时间，邮箱里已经有好几百条未读消息了呢♪

Commander...Ah. Let's hope we both get to live to see the end.……啊，希望最后我们两个可以平安无事。

LennaHmm? What are you whispering about?嗯？指挥官您在小声说什么呢？

CommanderIt's nothing, don't worry about it. Also, did you come to me this time to film another video, Lenna?没事没事，不用在意。莱娜你这次找我也是有影片想要拍摄吗？

LennaYeah. I carefully picked a favorite scene of mine this time too. Just you wait and see, Commander.是的，这次也是我精心挑选的桥段，指挥官就敬请期待吧。

(A while later.)（一段时间后。）

LennaDeciding who we'll spend the rest of our life with is the most critical decision a Doll can make.“选择一个和你共度余生的人是我们人形这辈子最重要的决定。”

LennaFor if one makes the wrong choice, the rest of their life shall be spent in sorrow and misery.“因为如果选错了，你接下来的余生都将变得灰暗。”

LennaAs a Doll myself, some humans may not consider me as qualified to speak about love.“也许身为人形的我，在某些人类的眼里不配去谈论什么是爱。”

LennaBut I know who's the one that brought color into my world; who let me see light.“但我知道，是谁给我的世界带来色彩，是谁让我看到了光明。”

LennaEven in my darkest hours, I've waited steadfastly for that light and lived for our eventual reunion.“即使在人生最黑暗的时候，我都在等待亮光，等待与那个人重逢而活着。”

CommanderLenna...莱娜……

LennaYou also got the line wrong, Commander... Though, I don't dislike your adjustment.指挥官你也说错台本了啦……不过，我也同样不讨厌这样的改编。

LennaNo matter where you are, what you're doing, or what dangers you face...今后不管你在哪里，在做什么，又或者遇到什么样的危险……

LennaI will always, always, completely, earnestly, and wholeheartedly love you.我都会一直一直，完全地，认真地，毫无保留地喜欢着你。

LennaAnd your answer is, Commander?指挥官，你的回答呢？

Commander..I almost can't tell where the acting ends and Lenna begins.……我都有点分不清哪里是电影，哪里是莱娜了。

LennaThey're equally real. It's both a movie and our family routine—even if some parts are meant to imitate fiction...哪边都是哦？既是电影，也是我和指挥官的家庭日常——即使是为了拍摄影片而演出来的……

LennaEvery word I've uttered came from the bottom of my heart, and I take it that's true for you too, right, Commander？可是我说的每一句话都是我的真心，我觉得指挥官也是一样的吧？

LennaLeave all the problematic things to you and Leva—I just need to do my part and be myself, right?太过复杂的事情就交给指挥官您和莱娅姐，我就只要负责做我自己就好啦。

LennaSo, your answer is, Commander?那么指挥官，你的回答呢？

Commander...After all that, I suppose there's no other answers left for me, is there?……都说到这份上了，我也没有第二种回答的可能吧。

CommanderI will always love you and be with you, Lenna... Oh, that too came from the bottom of my heart.我也会一直喜欢莱娜，和你在一起……这也是我真心实意的回答哦？

LennaWell said, but that one doesn't count~虽然说得很好，但这一句不算哦~

CommanderDoesn't count? Why not, Miss Director?不算？为什么呢，导演大人？

LennaTo earn the director's approval, you must hold my hand and whisper it gently in my ear nine times.想要让导演通过的话，指挥官要抓着我的手，凑在我的耳边温柔地说上九遍才行。

LennaHehehe. It's an order from the director that you must follow~嘿嘿嘿，毕竟这可是导演的命令，您可一定要遵守哦~

LennaHmm? An emergency comm from Leva?嗯？莱娅姐的紧急消息？

LennaRun, they're coming♪“快跑，她们来了♪”

Lenna...What's going on, who's coming? Where to... Ah?! Commander, where are you going? Didn't you say you'd stay by my side forever?!……怎么回事，谁来了？跑去哪里……啊啊？指挥官，你去哪里？不是说要和我一直在一起吗？！

Lobby Group Chat 1 休息室群聊1

LennaMechty—you're the real Mechty, right?米什缇——这次是真的米什缇了吧！

KlukaiThe real Mechty? Where could you possibly find a sleepyhead just like her?“真的”米什缇？这种成天睡不醒的家伙，还能遇到假的？

MechtyFake one... go on, switch with me...假的……替我出勤……

KlukaiYou little... Anyway, why ask that all of a sudden, Lenna?你真的是……所以，莱娜，为什么突然这么说？

LennaWaaah, I had a nightmare!呜呜呜，我做噩梦了！

LennaIn it, Dier wheeled two Dolls in front of me and asked—我梦见德尔推着两个人形问我——

LennaDid you drop this well-adjusted Mechty, or this Robella-type Mechty?“你掉的是这个健全型米什缇，还是这个洛贝拉型米什缇？”

LennaIt was terrifying!太可怕啦！

KlukaiAnd then? Which one did you pick?然后呢？你选了健全型还是洛贝拉？

LennaI said neither—they're not the Mechty I lost.我说都不是，她们都不是我掉的那个米什缇。

LennaDier praised me for being an honest Doll, and as a reward, gave me both fake Mechtys.德尔夸我是诚实的好人形，作为奖励，那两个假的米什缇都送给我。

LennaOne smiled using Mechty's face and promised she'd work hard...她们一个用米什缇的脸笑着承诺，说她会努力工作……

Lobby Group Chat 2 休息室群聊2

Robella...And then, we finally saw the prototype's true form.……然后，我们终于看见了那个原型机的全貌。

RobellaIts limbs were unusually long, and many tendrils of the same slender proportions grew from its back.它的四肢异常地细长，背后长着很多同样细长的触须。

AlvaThe EM interference was troublesome, too.电磁干扰，也很棘手。

LennaOhhh, I think I get it—哦哦哦！我好像懂啦——

LennaIt's a Full-Armor Electro-Squid!轰炸雷电大鱿鱼？

Robella...Electro-Squid? That doesn't sound right...……雷电大鱿鱼？这……不对吧？

LennaAh, so it's not a giant squid? Then...啊，不是大鱿鱼吗？那……

LennaA Psycho Electro-Urchin?多刺雷电海胆？

RobellaDoes such creature even exist? I-it's more of a... Um, I'm bad at describing such things. Alva, can you help me out a bit?有这种生物吗？这、这……我不擅长描述。埃芙，你想想办法？

AlvaMmm...嗯……

AlvaEach tendril ends in a firing port for its internal armament and a blade for cleaving, giving it a clear edge in mid-to-close range combat.触手末端是发射口和刀刃，中近距离下作战优势明显。

AlvaWhile its performance was something to reckon with, it was still a failed prototype that got shelved.不过，即便硬件评估尚可，依然作为失败品被废置了。

LennaI'm still not getting it, but it sounds like something super powerful.不太明白诶，总之，听起来很厉害的样子？

LennaI'd probably be done for if I run into that thing by myself...要是我一个人遇到它的话就完蛋了吧……

LevaOh my, everyone's gathered here—what are you discussing?哎呀，大家都聚在这里呢，在做什么？

RobellaWe're talking about that prototype from last time, trying to share our intel with Lenna. But...在说上次那个原型机，我们试图把情报共享给莱娜。但……

RobellaIf only Soppo's here... Forget it, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly either.要是索普在……算了，她在也说不清。

RobellaThree of us standing around, yet none can even articulate our thoughts clearly. It just so happens the ones getting "left behind" are the likes of us...三个人形，凑不出一个能说会道的。被“留下”的偏偏是我们这样的呢……

Alva...Should I feel apologetic for that?……我该为此感到抱歉吗？

LennaAlright, alright! The mood's getting too heavy all of a sudden. Everyone's good, and nobody blamed me for being too silly, hehe♪好啦，好啦！气氛突然好沉重。大家都好好哦，没有人怪我太笨，嘿嘿♪

LevaHehe~ Though I appreciate you both for taking care of Lenna, I think simply transferring your Neural records would be a much easier method~呵呵~虽然很感谢各位对莱娜的照顾，不过，直接同步心智记录似乎更方便呢~

LennaRight! We totally forgot about that! Then please send it to me now, Leva♪对哦！都忘记了还有这种办法呢！那莱娅姐这就同步给我吧♪

Cake Flavors 蛋糕口味

LennaWhen it comes to cake, obviously bigger is better—蛋糕，当然是越大越好啦——

LennaAfter all, we've got lots of friends on the Elmo to share it with.毕竟艾莫号上有超多同伴要一起分享。

LennaOr maybe I could ask Leva if I could try hers on?或者问问能不能试试莱娅姐的礼服？

Dorm Dialogue 1 宿舍对话1

LennaI gave the new sofa Liushih picked a try, it's super comfy!我稍微试了试刘莳挑选的新沙发，感觉很舒服呢！

LennaWhen that time comes, Leva and I will. Take. Great. Care. Of the tired Commander. Heehee♪到时候，就由我和莱娅姐来好·好·照·顾疲惫的指挥官吧，嘻嘻♪

Tidying Up 1 整理清扫1

LennaThat's strange, where did it go?奇怪……到底去哪里了呢？

LevaLenna, what are you looking for?莱娜，你在找什么？

LennaAh! Ahhhh! Leva, you're here at last!—Save me!啊！啊！莱娅姐你终于来了——救我！

KlukaiCalm down. Panicking will affect the squad's professional image.你冷静点，慌慌张张的样子会影响队伍的专业形象。

LennaKlukai, you're here too! Thank goodness, surely we'll be able to find it fast with the three of us searching together, right?可露凯你也在啊！太好了，三个人一起找会快一点吧？

CommanderWhat exactly are you looking for?所以，你到底在找什么？

LennaCommander~ Can you give me a hug to calm my nerves?指挥官——可以抱我一下给我压压惊吗？

CommanderHaha, well, I've actually been observing you for a while, but I have no idea what you're doing.哈哈，其实我观察你有一会儿了，但我看不懂你在干什么。

LennaI was looking for an item from my boardgame set, I realized it was missing when I was tidying up today.我在找桌游套装里的道具，我今天整理的时候才发现它不见了。

LennaDo you remember, Commander? It was the choo-choo train from the game we played a few days ago. Oooh, where did it go...指挥官记得吗？我们前几天玩的桌游里的大火车。呜，不知道放到哪里去了……

LennaIt was a really big train, and it was a limited-edition tier reward from the Green Zone GoFundYourself campaign...那么大一个火车，还是绿区众筹版的限量纪念品……

LevaHave you checked the table, the surrounding floor, and the storage box?桌子附近，地板和收纳盒都翻找过了吗？

LennaI can't find it anywhere... Plus the table and floor are all very clean, so it would be instantly obvious.哪里都没有……桌子和地板都很干净，一目了然呀。

KlukaiIt can't be helped, I guess I'll have to lend you a hand.没办法，我也帮你一起再找一遍吧。

LevaMe too.我也来。

CommanderHang on, I think I remember that train you were talking about.等等，你们说的火车，我有印象。

CommanderI thought it was an ornament that was put in the wrong place, so I put it in the display cabinet while cleaning up. I'll go get it.我以为是被错放的摆件，清理桌子的时候就顺手收纳到展示柜里了。我去拿过来。

LennaHuh? Commander—诶？！指挥官——

LennaT-This is great! Thank you, Commander! I didn't lose Choo-Choo after all!太、太好了！多亏有你，大火车才没有弄丢！

LennaAaaand that's a wrap! Hehe♪这样就圆满解决啦！嘿嘿♪

LennaYup yup, the wish was just a "trap". In truth, I just wanted to see you.没错没错，许愿消息只是“陷阱”，真正的愿望只是见到您啦。

LennaCommander, are you happy to see me♪指挥官，看到我开心吗♪

CommanderOf course. However, did something good happen? You seem very happy too.当然。不过，有什么好事发生吗？你看起来也很开心。

LennaWell, meeting you and my family is the best thing that could happen.见到指挥官和家人们就是最大的好事呀。

LennaI've checked your schedule already! You're free tonight!我确认过指挥官的日程了！您晚上有时间！

LennaLet's play a boardgame together! It's a date!一起玩桌游吧，就这样说定啦。

CommanderBut the table still isn't...在那之前，桌子还没有完全……

CommanderOh, I see. No wonder the table's surface was so clean and tidy today.哦，原来如此，难怪今天的桌面这么整洁。

Tidying Up 3 整理清扫3

LennaUwow— Commander!哇哦——指挥官！

CommanderHaha, what kind of reward is it?哈哈，那你打算颁发什么奖励呢？

LennaTadah! It's a golden throne.噔噔！金色的王座。

LennaI looked through the catalogs of all the nearby brokers. It took me a long time to find this golden chair model.附近暗商的商品名录都要被我翻遍了，找了好久才找到这个金椅子模型。

LennaI thought it was really shiny, though it would be better if it was pure gold.我觉得它特别闪耀呢，如果是纯金的就更好了。

CommanderHaha, it's only natural to like gold things. Still, this is fine too. It would be too heavy if it was pure gold.哈哈，喜欢黄金是人之常情。不过这个也很好，要是纯金的就太沉重了。

LennaThat's true. I couldn't afford a pure gold chair either...也是哦。而且我的工资也买不起纯金大椅子……

LennaIn that case, I hope you enjoy this golden throne as your prize for winning!那么，指挥官，希望您喜欢这个金椅子桌游奖杯！

LennaYou really are super popular, Commander.指挥官的人气真是超级足呢。

LevaI'm up next, aren't I, Commander ♪ Let's go for a waltz~下一个应该轮到我了吧，指挥官♪和我跳一支双人舞吧~

LennaI'll wait patiently until it's my turn.在没轮到我之前，我会好好等待的。

LennaEhhhh... Wait a minute, are you telling me all those people who've been eying up the Commander since just now are all waiting for him?诶，从刚才开始就盯着指挥官的大家……难道是都在等指挥官？

LennaHehehe, in that case—嘿嘿嘿，既然这样，那么——

(Lenna suddenly skips up to me, and before I can respond, she takes up my hand and hooks my little finger with her own in a pinky promise.)（莱娜忽然一蹦一跳地凑近，不由分说地拉起我的手，她的指尖勾住我的小指，和我定下誓约。）

LennaOnce you've danced with Leva, you'll dance with me, okay?等指挥官和莱娅姐跳完舞，下一个轮到莱娜哦。

LennaIt's a promise!我们约定好了！

MaylingUh, seems like... the game area's progress is going swimmingly?唔，看起来……游戏区的进度还挺顺利的？

LennaLeva and I have our gaming setups all ready~我和莱娅姐这边的游戏设备已经就位啦~

LennaBy the way~ We also installed the Commander's favorite, "Pixel Warfare 2.0"!顺便顺便~我们还把指挥官最喜欢的《像素大战2.0》也装进去了哦！

MaylingThis video game... isn't it pretty hard? I remember Lenna was stuck at a stage for a while...这个游戏……应该挺难的吧？我记得之前莱娜好像卡关过一段时间……

LennaYup~ only after the Commander joined Leva and me staying up all night that we beat that level.是呀~后来是指挥官陪着我和莱娅姐熬了一个通宵，才终于打过去的。

LevaHehe, we don't often get to let the Commander give it a shot, but I didn't expect him to finish it in just one night~哼哼，难得我们决定让指挥官挑战一下，没想到他一个晚上就搞定了呢~

LevaSo this time, we're going to do some modifications to this new arcade.所以这次，我们要对新街机做出一点小小的改装。

MaylingEh? What's Leva planning to modify?诶？莱娅打算改装些什么呢？

LevaNothing big, it's just reducing the spacing between the seats a tiny bit, and then readjusting the sensitivity on the joysticks~没什么，只是想稍微缩短座椅之间的距离，再调整一下摇杆的灵敏度~

LevaSo when the Commander realizes the increased difficulty in the controls and has to ask me and Lenna for help—这样一来，指挥官就会因为操作难度的增加，不得不向我和莱娜求助——

LennaHe would have~ no~ choice~ but to lean closer to us! Hehe♪还要不·得·不和我们靠得更近一些啦！嘻嘻♪

Mayling(S-so that's the actual reason for getting stuck on a level...)（原、原来这才是卡关的真正原因吗……）

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1Original codename: UMP9. Founding member of H.I.D.E. 404. As a way to enhance performance, she assisted Persica in the completion of the "Remolding Pattern" technology by volunteering as a subject for the experiment, thereby narrowing the power gap between herself and more advanced third-generation Dolls. After Kalina took office at the Non-Military Forces Administration (NOMFA), UMP9—together with her sister UMP45—accepted Kalina's invitation to work as her assistants. During this period, she began using her previous name "Lenna" as her public identity. Confronted with the drastic shift in role and the challenges of adapting to a new environment, Lenna's lively, cheerful, and approachable personality ultimately enabled her to overcome the initial setbacks and allowed her to embrace her new duties, taking charge of much of Kalina's external communications. Though she still reminisces about the days of operating alongside her 404 squadmates, Lenna has gradually accepted the reality that everyone has their duty to fulfill. Yet, she still holds onto the belief that she remains part of the 404 family deep in her heart. Compared to her past self, Lenna has noticeably grown more mature and professional at work all the while still sporting her trademark uplifting smile. Yet in the brief moments when her guard is down, or when her closest family is present, glimpses of her innocent side slip through the cracks. She simply can't hide her silly, satisfied grin when receiving praise from her sister, Leva. "Hmm? What was that? Leva, I think my signal is cutting out~" "Please~ Say it again, just once more! The last one didn't count. Hehe♪"原代号UMP9，原H.I.D.E. 404小队成员。为了提升能力，她主动成为帕斯卡的实验人形，帮助帕斯卡完成了“拟态图谱技术”应用实验，缩减了自身与三代人形之间的战力差距。格琳娜进入非军事力量管理局后，UMP9与姐姐UMP45一起接受格琳娜的邀请，成为了格琳娜的助手。期间，她重新启用“莱娜”之名，作为对外使用的新名字。 面对身份定位的剧变与新环境带来的挑战，虽然过程略有波折，性格活泼开朗、极具亲和力的莱娜最终顺利地适应了她的新职责，承担起格琳娜一方主要的对外沟通工作。即便仍然会怀念以前404小队一起行动的日子，现在的莱娜已经逐渐接受了大家分头行动的现实，只在内心深处坚持着“自己仍然是404大家庭的一员”的信念。 相较于从前，尽管标志性的开朗笑容从未改变，工作时间的莱娜已经逐渐沉稳起来了。只有在卸下心防时，面对最依赖的家人们，莱娜才会表现出片刻的纯真。例如得到莱娅的夸奖时，她会露出憨憨的满足笑容。 “嗯嗯？什么？莱娅姐，我这里信号不太好呢~” “莱娅姐~再多夸奖我一次吧？刚才的没听清不算，嘿嘿♪”

Record 2Gentle sunlight streamed through the glass of Kalina's office, pouring down on the two potted plants by the window. One of the plants was drooping while the other... was also drooping. Lenna set down the watering can, crouched beside the drooping branches, and poked at them with her finger. Snap. A brittle twig broke off and fell to the floor. "Ugh... Why's this happening?" "I'm measuring the amount of water down to the milliliter. The temperature, humidity, and soil acidity—they all perfectly match the guide. Why are you two still withering?" She stared at the "Easy Care Instruction" sticker on the pot, and double-checked its content over and over again. Geraniums, she'd got them from Persica just last month. Their listed features included: blooms all year round, relieves human fatigue, and—"easy to care for". Looking back at the drooping branches, that comment left by the engineer might as well have been a silent mockery. With a helpless and wronged look, Lenna poked at the frail branches once again. "You two... If there's something wrong, you can just tell me, you know..." Naturally, no plant could possibly answer her. After a moment, Lenna stood up, gathered herself, and clenched her fists in resolve. "Guess there's no helping it... I'll just get new ones! At least these ones lasted one week longer, that's progress." "I'm sure I'll get it right next time! Hehe♪"和煦的阳光穿透格琳娜办公室的落地窗，洒在窗边的两棵盆栽上。 一棵垂头丧气，另一棵也垂头丧气。 莱娜放下浇花壶，蹲在软塌低垂的枝条边，伸出手指戳了两下植物的枝条。 啪叽。 一截枯枝掉在了地上。 “唔……到底是为什么呢？” “给水量已经精确到毫升了，气温、湿度、基底酸碱……和资料完全一致，为什么还会枯萎呀？” 莱娜瞪着花盆上的《简易养护指南》贴纸，一遍遍徒劳地核对。 天竺葵，上个月从帕斯卡那里扦插来的。特点是四季开花、能缓解人体疲劳，以及—— “好养活。” 对照着没精打采的枝条，工程师留下的“好养活”便签仿佛是一种无声的嘲笑。 莱娜茫然又委屈地再次戳了戳软弱的枝条。 “你们、你们有什么不满意，倒是说句话呀……” 显而易见的，没有盆栽能回应她。 片刻之后，莱娜自己站了起来，收拾好心情，握了握拳。 “没办法……再种一次吧！至少这次多存活了一周，有进步啦。” “下次一定可以！嘿嘿♪”

Record 3As the assistant to Senior Counselor Kalina, one of Lenna's primary duties is... answering questions and easing concerns. "Hmm. Hello, Mr. Counselor. You're calling about the result of the previous PMC qualification exams, correct? Oh... you already talked with Miss Kalina before? Please hold a moment while I confirm that for you♪" Talking through the comms line dedicated to external contact, Lenna's tone remained warm and quippy. After putting the caller on hold, she gazed at Kalina. Standing by the window with a thermal cup in hand, Kalina shook her head with a subtle, snarky look. Lenna responded with a bright smile and an "OK" gesture before turning back to the call. "Thanks for your patience, Mr. Counselor. I've checked with Miss Kalina, and the decision remains—" A series of shouts and curses came through the communicator, yet Lenna's expression did not change in the slightest. "Haha♪ That's a good joke—but there's no way we'd deliberately make things more difficult for you." "Yes, yes~ I understand." She nodded as she spoke, even though there was no way for the caller to see the expression she was making. "The PMC you mentioned is certainly capable, but the NOMFA needs to consider matters from multiple aspects." "As Miss Kalina pointed out earlier, this PMC has not met the minimum registration time required for application, and some of their equipment has unidentified origins. So, unfortunately..." "Yes, you are right, but it would be a big problem if this causes damage to the reputation of the NOMFA♪ And, as you may know, we must ensure the authority of the URNC government." "Mm-hmm, I'm glad you understand. A friendly reminder, failing this examination won't affect future applications, I promise♪" Throughout the exchange, Lenna's voice remained steady and cheerful. Kalina quietly watched as Lenna hung up the call and started humming a little tune as she proceeded to organize the meeting reports, and—within three seconds of the next call ringing up—briskly picked up the communicator again. "Hello, this is the office of the Senior Counselor of the Non-Military Forces Administration. How may I help you?♪" Indeed, only Lenna could handle this job. Hearing Lenna's calm and friendly tone, Kalina let out a reassuring smile and returned to her own work.身为格琳娜高级参事的助理，莱娜的主要工作之一是……解答疑问与安抚情绪。 “嗯嗯嗯，议员先生您好，请问是对之前的P.M.C.资质审批结果有疑问吗？哦哦……您之前和参事女士有沟通过是吗，您稍等，我确认一下哦♪” 面前是对外专用联络机，莱娜的语气亲切而积极。飞快地安抚了对方后，莱娜抬起头询问地望向格林娜。 格林娜站在窗边，手里端着保温杯，苦笑着对她摇了摇头。莱娜回以一个开朗的笑容外加“OK”的手势。 “您好先生，久等啦，我这边确认过了，还是维持之前的判断呢——” 话筒中似乎传来一些咆哮，但莱娜的神色没有一丝改变。 “哈哈♪您说笑啦，怎么会存在刻意为难呢？” “是是~我知道。”莱娜真诚地点点头——尽管，这套设备其实无法转播出她的表情，“您提到的这家P.M.C.是非常有实力的，但是咱们非军事力量管理局也要多方面考量。” “参事女士之前也跟您提过，这家P.M.C.的注册成立时间没有达到申报标准呢，而且所使用的机械有一些来源并不明确，所以很遗憾……” “是，您说得对，但是万一因为这事导致咱们企业声誉受损，就不好了呀♪而且我们也要为罗联政府的权威性负责嘛。” “嗯嗯，您能理解就好~这次不通过不会影响下次申报哦，我保证♪” 莱娜的声音始终开朗且稳定。 站在窗边的格林娜看着莱娜挂上电话，一边哼歌一边整理会议报告，并且在铃声响起的三秒内接起下一通电话。 “您好，非军事力量管理局高级参事办公室，请讲♪” 果然，这样的工作除了莱娜，没有其他人能胜任吧。 听着莱娜保持着平稳和亲切的说话声，格琳娜安心地笑了笑，投入自己的工作中。

Record 4"Hm-hm♪ Action logs... action logs..." Late at night, after finishing a full day's work, Lenna lay cheerfully on the sofa, scrolling through the action logs on her personal device. Watching recordings of past missions gave her the chance to admire her family's impressive performances—a little hobby she had picked up during her off-times. "Uwah♪ Lucky me~ There's a new one uploaded by Leva today! Maybe I'll get to see her in it!" "Oh~ It's that mission where she accompanied Miss Kalina to the banquet... I remember Leva brought it up before..." Murmuring excitedly, Lenna quickly clicked into the file, her eyes brimming with anticipation. One by one, high-definition footage of Leva was loaded onto the screen. Lenna sat up straight, her eyes gleaming. "She's wearing an evening gown! So... so beautiful♪" "...Even her uncomfortable expression is so adorable!" After admiring Leva's outfit from every possible angle, Lenna suddenly jumped up. "I bet I can make that exact outfit out of a bed sheet. Let me try it now♪" She dashed over to the workbench and immediately began sketching and cutting patterns. By sunrise, Lenna was twirling around in the dawn light in her improvised bed sheet gown. "Family members should wear matching clothes, right? Ehe♪ I wonder if I look more like Leva now." Click. The apartment door unlocked. Leva stepped inside and immediately locked eyes with Lenna, who had stayed up all night without rest. Leva had already grown used to her sister imitating her wardrobe, so the sight didn't surprise her too much. Only... under the makeshift gown, certain contours of Lenna's body were far more pronounced than usual. "Uwaah♪ Leva! Why are you back so suddenly? I missed you so much!" Lenna's eyes widened in delight as she leapt toward Leva. Leva lowered her head, her gaze—unobstructed by her chest—landed directly on her feet. As she raised her head again, her eyes inevitably lingered on Lenna's body. "Yeah, I'm back. Missed you too. Also... are you really copying the gown I wore at the banquet seven hours ago?" "Stop. Copying. What. I. Am. Wearing." With a calm, restrained smile, Leva rolled up her sleeves.“哼哼♪行动记录……行动记录……” 某个深夜，莱娜结束了一整天的工作，笑眯眯地半躺在沙发上，刷新起个人设备中的行动记录。回看行动记录时，有机会欣赏到家人们任务中的帅气身影，这是莱娜的工作之余的小爱好之一。 “哇啊♪好幸运，今天有莱娅姐上报的新记录！可以看见莱娅姐吧？” “哦哦，是陪格琳姐出席宴会的任务呀，好像听莱娅姐说起过……” 莱娜小声嘀咕着，立即扩展了相关页面，眼中充满期待。一张张莱娅的高清影像陆续加载成功，莱娜怔了怔，两眼放光地坐直了身体。 “竟然是晚礼服！真……真漂亮呢♪” “……莱娅姐不自在的样子，也好可爱哦！” 360度全方位欣赏过莱娅的新装束之后，莱娜忽然跳了起来。 “应该可以用床单改制一个莱娅姐‘同款’出来，现在就试试吧♪” 莱娜哒哒哒地跑到工作台边，立刻开始制作裁片纸样。 太阳升起的时候，莱娜将床单改制成的晚礼服裹在了身上，在晨光里兴奋地转圈圈。 “是家人就要穿一样的衣服嘛！哎嘿嘿♪我这样是不是很像莱娅姐呢？” “咔哒。”公寓大门传来开锁的声音。 莱娅走进来，与一夜没有休眠的莱娜四目相对。 莱娜喜欢模仿自己的穿着装束，莱娅对此早有认知，对眼前的景象并无太多惊讶。 只是……晚礼服包裹下，莱娜的身形轮廓起伏有致…… “哇啊啊♪莱娅姐！你怎么突然回来啦？我好想你！” 莱娜瞪大眼睛，惊喜地扑向莱娅。 莱娅低下头，视野开阔，从胸前一直顺畅地望到了脚尖。再抬眼时，视线不由自主地凝在了莱娜的身形上。 “我回来了，我也想你哦，还有，你这是模仿我7小时前的宴会装扮吧——” “不、要、学、我、穿、衣、服。” 莱娅保持着克制的微笑，从容不迫地撸起了衬衫袖口。

Record 5This record was captured during a certain New Year's Eve. Persica later stumbled upon it during routine maintenance, hidden within Lenna's neural records. "Lenna, Kalina and I are heading out now. The office will be in your care. If anything urgent comes up, contact us right away..." Leva paused mid-instruction and chuckled. "Not that it really matters. Things only go one of two ways on New Year's Eve—perfectly peaceful, or earth-shakingly devastating." "If it's the latter, we'll be notified immediately anyway... but I reckon it'll be a quiet night." Lenna nodded with a bright smile. "Don't worry, Leva, I'll be fine♪ Not like it's my first time pulling a night shift alone." Leva reached out and patted her head. "Mhm. One last thing—" "Although it's a little early, but... Happy New Year." With that blessing, Leva waved her goodbye and stepped out of the office. The door shut automatically behind her, and from the other side came Kalina's teasing voice. "Finally done with the farewell? We're just heading out for a few hours..." Leva's response, along with their footsteps, gradually faded into the distance. Lenna's smile softened. She glanced around the now-empty office. Somehow, the place felt even colder with everyone else gone. Kalina and Leva were attending a government event; Klukai and Mechty were out on a mission. That left herself in the office, all alone. Coming out of her momentary trance, Lenna gently clapped her face before her mood could sink further. Hadn't she already come to terms with this...? There were things she could do all by herself—things that would help everyone out. What should it be, then? On a New Year's Eve, all by herself... It's the perfect time for a deep clean-up♪ She would tidy all the nooks and crannies the janitors usually missed! Then, when Leva and others came back, they'd be greeted with a spotless, brand-new-looking office. Alright! Time to work! Time slipped by unnoticed. As midnight struck, fireworks started blooming in the sky, and the office tower where Lenna was had to be the perfect viewing spot. Red, green—and every color in between—all bloomed and painted a dazzling radiance in her eyes. "Happy New Year, Big Sis Leva!" "Happy New Year, Miss Kalina!" "Happy New Year, Klukai!" "..." "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year... Commander..." It's okay—even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, no one would stop her, because no one was around to hear her. On that night, Lenna let out all the pent-up longing she had been burying in her heart.这是发生在某个跨年夜的短暂一刻，帕斯卡在日常维护时偶然发现了这段心智记录。 “莱娜，我和格琳准备现在出发。办公室就交给你留守了，有紧急情况及时应答……” 莱娅叮嘱到一半，自己笑起来：“说是这么说，跨年夜，一般只有平安无事或者惊天动地两种发展吧。” “如果是后者，我们这边也会收到消息……大概率会是平安的一夜。” 莱娜笑着连连点头：“莱娅姐放心吧，我没问题的♪我也不是第一次单独值夜啦。” 莱娅摸了摸莱娜的脑袋：“嗯，最后一句话——” “虽然现在还有点早，但是，新年快乐。” 祝福语之后，莱娅挥了挥手，走出办公室。 门自动关上，另一头传来格琳娜的打趣声。 “道别终于结束啦？明明只是分别几个小时而已呢……” 莱娅的声音与她们的脚步一起走远，逐渐模糊不清。 莱娜的笑容淡了几分，环顾了一下空空荡荡的办公室。大家都不在的时候，似乎这里的气温都会低上一点。 格琳姐和莱娅姐去参加政府活动，可露凯和米什缇在外执行任务，好了，只有她是留守人形了。 莱娜发了一会儿呆，赶在情绪变得更加消沉之前，她伸出手拍了拍自己的脸颊。 之前不是已经想明白了吗……一个人也有可以做的事，也可以帮上大家的忙。 要做什么呢？无人的新年夜，最适合大扫除了♪ 要把清洁人员平时忽视的边角细节都清理干净！等到莱娅姐她们回来的时候，就能看见清爽的办公室了。 好！开始动起来吧！ 时间不知不觉中流逝，庆祝零点时刻的烟花在半空中绽放，莱娜所处的办公大楼，正是最佳观赏点之一。 红色的、绿色的、各色烟花在莱娜的眼中留下绚烂的光点，她的眼睛因而被点亮。 “新年快乐！莱娅姐！” “新年快乐！格琳姐！” “新年快乐！可露凯！” “……” “新年快乐！新年快乐！新年快乐！” “新年快乐……指挥官……” 没关系，现在没有人会听见，即便越喊越大声也没有人会制止。 在那个夜晚，莱娜尽情地发泄了心中积压的思念。

Record 6It was the third day of our rest in the city. I stood at the edge of a public square, unable to refrain myself from checking the letter in my hand over and over again. It was an invitation from Lenna. In it she wrote that she wanted to give me a "surprise" here. From where I stood, the entire square was in full view. And yet, I couldn't seem to spot Lenna anywhere. Just as I began to suspect this might be some sort of prank, a fluffy bear cub suddenly came bouncing toward me from the center of the square—a bear suit as tall as a person, usually worn by a human or a Doll. Wait... could that be Lenna? Before I could sort through my thoughts, the bear had already hopped right up to me, clutching a cluster of balloons in its hand. I noticed that the balloons were printed with the NOMFA insignia, which all but confirmed the bear's identity. The bear clapped its stubby paws and bounced around me in a circle. The bear waved its paws to draw my attention, then stuffed a balloon into my hand. The bear pressed its oversized fuzzy head against my chest and snuggled up against me. I couldn't help but laugh at the mascot's jests. "Eheheh♪ You've finally laughed, Commander!" Lenna's voice came through the bear, slightly muffled by the thick suit. "Hehe♪ That was part of the Administration's regular public outreach program, and it's only just ended." "Ah, I should probably take the headpiece off before we continue." Without further ado, she removed the suit's headpiece, revealing her own head, also wearing a pair of bear ears. "Ta-da♪ Surprise! Ehehe, a bear inside a bear!" "Seems like there's something weighing on your mind lately, Commander. I don't really understand, but... I'm sure it must be something important, right?" "Though, I do know this—you haven't laughed in... forty-seven—no, fifty-two hours." "Commander♪ Come on, give me a smile♪ Just like this..." The bear—No, Lenna—cupped my face with her round paws, trying to lift the corners of my lips into a grin. "Hehe♪ I know this city like the back of my hand, Commander." "Sweet afternoon tea, park in full bloom, and breathtaking night view—all waiting for us..." "How about we embark on a little stroll together, Commander?"进入城市休整的第三天，我站在市民广场的边缘，忍不住反复确认手中的邀请函信息。 邀请函是莱娜送来的，她说想在这里给我一个“惊喜”。 站在我的位置，可以一览无余地看见整个广场。然而，我根本没找到莱娜。 就在我开始怀疑这是一个小恶作剧的时候，广场的中央，一只毛茸茸的小熊突然大步朝我冲来——那是一只等人高的小熊玩偶，内芯通常是人类或者人形。 等等，那该不会就是莱娜…… 不等我理清思路，小熊已经蹦跶到了我面前，手中还攥着一大把气球。 我看清了气球上印着的“非军事力量管理局”徽标，内心基本上肯定了“小熊”的身份。 小熊拍着短手，围绕着我蹦跶了一圈。 小熊挥舞着短手，吸引我的注意力，然后塞给我一只气球。 小熊把毛茸茸的巨大脑袋塞进了我的怀里，用力蹭了蹭我。 我被活泼的小熊逗笑了。 “哎嘿♪指挥官终于笑了呢！” 小熊里传来莱娜的声音，因为蓬松玩偶服的阻隔，她的声音听起来有些闷。 “嘿嘿♪这个是管理局的常规亲民宣传工作，刚才已经结束啦。” “啊，我还是摘下头套说话吧。” 二人不再继续交谈莱娜摘下玩偶头套，露出戴着小熊耳朵的脑袋。 “惊——喜♪哎嘿嘿，小熊的里面还是小熊！” “指挥官，你最近好像有什么烦恼呢。我不太懂，应该都是很重要的大事吧？” “不过，我知道，指挥官已经有47……不，52小时没有开怀大笑过啦。” “指挥官♪来笑一笑嘛♪像这样……” 小熊……不，莱娜伸出圆圆的手，捧住我的脸，试图让我的嘴角保持上翘。 “嘿嘿♪指挥官，我对这个城市很熟悉哦。” “接下来还有香甜的下午茶、正值花季的公园，壮观的夜景……” “指挥官，一起来散散心吧？”

Record 7One day, I was sleeping in my room as usual, when I suddenly woke up from a dream. In the darkness, I could feel something's off. Maybe it was the breeze brushing by my ears out of the blue, or perhaps the faint, unfamiliar scent at the tip of my nose, or perhaps just an illusion born from me being on the edge all the time—I even thought I heard some faint rustling sounds. I sat up and turned on the light. As I pressed on the switch, I was sure I had also caught the sound of a small gasp, like someone sharply drawing in a breath. The ceiling light flooded the room. In the bright, gentle glow, nothing could remain hidden. The chairs and desk sat quietly in their usual places—nothing out of the ordinary, as if all the feelings that irked me so had been just in my head. I looked around again, only to notice in the corner of my room stood... a new potted plant? The plant was in full bloom, with clusters of tiny, pink flowers blushing delicately. The unfamiliar scent clearly had come from them. Puzzled, I thought to myself: only a few could enter my room without permission... "Uhh... Who's there?" Of course, the room remained silent, and I was left with no reply. But just as I lowered my head without much further pondering, I caught sight of something: at the edge of the bed's shadow, a strand of brown hair was slowly retreating underneath my bed. I chuckled quietly, then deliberately started praising the potted plant in the corner. "I wonder who left this here? Hmm, it looks very pleasing, and the fragrance is very delightful. I wonder for how long it'll bloom?" "...For a long time! If it's cared for properly, geraniums can bloom for months♪" Sure enough, Lenna's voice came from underneath my bed. I smiled, "Lenna, come out from under my bed. I've already found you." "Ah—I got spotted♪" she replied cheekily, and soon after, emerged at my bedside, patting dust off her clothes. "This is a geranium. They say it helps ease fatigue. Ever since I saw this plant for the first time, I wanted to plant one myself and give it to you, Commander. Hehe♪" "It's a delicate little plant, though! I've tried so many times before, but they would never grow well." "Yet, after you came back, they suddenly started to flourish—I have no idea why." "Maybe... your presence lets even my plants feel at ease♪"那一天，我照常在我的休息室里睡觉，忽然从梦中惊醒。 黑暗中，我总觉得哪里有些不对劲。也许是耳畔凭空起的风，也许是鼻端带着一丝陌生的空气。或许是高度戒备带来的错觉，我甚至听到了一些窸窸窣窣的声音。 我坐起身，打开休息室的灯。 按动开关时，我确信，我还听见了小小的惊呼和类似倒抽冷气的动静。 顶灯亮起，明亮柔和的光线下，一切都无法遁形。 桌椅摆设平平无奇，静静地陪伴着我，似乎所有的异样都只是我的错觉而已。 我再次环顾四周，忽然发现远处的角落里多了一盆……盆栽。 盆栽正是花期，小小的、嫩粉色的花朵一簇一簇、颤颤巍巍，陌生的气味就是来自于此。 我有些疑惑，能够无需许可出入我的休息室的对象并不多…… “呃……有谁在吗？” 屋子里什么变化也没有，当然也不会有人回复我。 不经意地一低头，我突然发现床下的阴影处，有一截棕色的发尾，正在慢慢地缩回床底。 我暗笑，故意夸奖起角落里的盆栽。 “这是谁放的盆栽？嗯，长得讨喜，味道也不错，不知道能开多久呢？” “……很久哦！要是养护得好，据说天竺葵的花期可以长达几个月♪” 床底果然传来莱娜的声音。 我笑了声：“莱娜，从我的床底下出来吧，你已经被发现了。” “呀啊，暴露了♪”莱娜轻快地答应着，很快，莱娜从我床边冒出来，拍了拍身上的灰。 “这是天竺葵，听说有缓解疲劳的功效。我从第一次见到这种植物开始，就想着一定要亲手种出来送给指挥官了，嘿嘿♪” “这种植物很娇弱哦！以前尝试了很多次，不知道为什么，总是长不好。” “回到指挥官身边之后，也不知道为什么，它又突然长得很健康很茂盛了。” “或许是指挥官你的存在，能让我的植物也感到安心吧♪”

Record 8During a certain commission, after the handover was complete, Lenna escorted me back from the city to the Elmo. The day had already grown late. Outside the jeep, a sudden gale not predicted by the weather report rose. In the howling wind, the vehicle suddenly jolted violently, warning lights flashing across the dashboard. Along with the alerts, the heater had also shut down automatically, and the temperature inside the cabin quickly began to drop. "Ah... Commander, I think the jeep just broke down..." From the driver's seat, Lenna checked the warning lights, then glanced at me with unease. I nodded, reaching for the door. "Yeah, I'll go take a look." Lenna leaned over and held onto my hand. "Commander, let me go instead. Look how windy it's out there... It must be really cold." I shook my head in disagreement, "If there's something that needs fixing, it'll be faster if I do it myself." Lenna gazed at me, eyes widened and worried. Faced with that look, I instinctively reached out and patted her head. "I'll be back in no time." The repair took a bit longer than I expected. It was only when I finally returned to the jeep and felt the lingering warmth inside the cabin that I realized my entire body had gone completely numb due to the temperature outside. Lenna stared at me with a focused intensity, as if afraid I might suddenly collapse or vanish. The door closed, shutting the roaring wind outside. "As expected of you, Commander♪ The jeep's started up again!" She threw herself into my arms. Even the warmth of synthetic skin felt like the scorching sun to me. "Commander... You're finally back..." "You're so cold... I raised my frame temperature a little. Now my body should feel a little warmer to you♪." Burying her face against my neck, her soft voice lingered in my ear. "Until you're all warmed-up, use me like a hand-warmer... and hold onto me a little longer..."某次委托中，交接已经完成，莱娜护送我从城区返回艾莫号。 天色已晚，车外忽然刮起天气预报不曾提及的大风。呼啸的风声中，吉普车忽然重重地震荡了一下，仪表盘亮起多个报错标识。伴随着这些报错，暖气也被自动关闭，车内温度很快降下来。 “啊……指挥官，车好像抛锚了……” 驾驶位上的莱娜查看过报错，有些不安地看向我。 我点点头，准备开车门：“嗯，我下去看看。” 莱娜靠过来，按住我的手。 “指挥官，让我去吧，外面风很大呢，好像很冷。” 我摇了摇头：“如果需要修理，还是我去比较快。” 莱娜眼巴巴地看着我，面对着莱娜关切的眼神，我下意识地伸手摸了摸她的头。 “我很快回来。” 修理过程比想象中要略久一点，回到车里时，感受到车内残存的暖意，我才意识到身体被冻得有些僵。 莱娜一直紧紧盯着我看，像是怕我忽然倒下或是消失。 车门重新关上，将大风隔离在外。 “不愧是指挥官♪吉普车已经顺利重新发动了哦！” 莱娜扑进我怀里，对此刻的我而言，她的温度堪称滚烫。 “指挥官，指挥官，你终于回来了……” “好冷哦。我稍微上调了素体温度，这样，身体会觉得暖和一点吧♪” 莱娜把脸埋在我的颈间，语声轻软。 “在指挥官暖和起来之前，就这样把我当成暖手宝，抱一会儿吧……”
