Treasure In The Chest 1 珍贵的箱中之物1

(Today's another busy day. I've been buried in work since this morning.)（今天又是十分忙碌的日子，从早上开始我就一直在埋头处理工作。）

Colphne (?)Whoa~ I can't believe you're still working, Commander! It's time for lunch, so go take a break!呜哇～指挥官竟然还在工作！已经到午休时间了哦，赶快去休息一会儿吧！

(I glance at my terminal; sure enough, it's already lunchtime. No wonder Colphne came over to give me a reminder.)（我看了一眼终端上的时间，确实已经过午饭时间了，也难怪寇尔芙会来提醒我。）

CommanderWait a minute, Colphne should be out on a mission right now...等等，寇尔芙应该出门执行任务去了吧……

Mityl"You always neglect your health while you're working. If you do this again, I'll have to stri-ctly su-per-vise your schedule~"『指挥官总是一工作起来就不顾身体，下次再这样，人家就要对你的作息进行强·制·监·督·了哦～』

CommanderOh, so it was you, Mityl.原来是你啊，米蒂尔。

MitylThat's right~ Iiiit's Mityl, the super imitator with Oscar-worthy acting skills!没错～是超级擅长模仿大家，演技一流的米蒂尔出现啦！

CommanderNo wonder I made a mistake. Your impression of her was perfect.那难怪我会弄错，你模仿得真像。

CommanderGive me a while more. I need to finish reading these documents...再等等，我把手里的这份文件看完……

MitylYou're STILL going to read them? Does that mean you're going to totally ignore me now that you know I'm not Colphne?还看啊？发现我不是寇尔芙后，指挥官竟然完全无动于衷！

Mityl"Listen to your doctor, Com~man~der!"『给我听医生的话，指·挥·官！』

(At Mityl's urging—albeit in Colphne's voice—I arrive at the dining area.)（在米蒂尔以寇尔芙口吻的催促下，我来到了餐厅。）

(A sumptuous lunch is laid out on the table. The food is still warm, so it's probably been freshly prepared.)（桌上正放着一份丰盛的午餐，饭菜尚温，应该是她刚刚准备好的。）

Mityl"Dig in, Commander! It's nice and hot!"『开整吧长官，都是热乎的！』

CommanderNow you're using Qiuhua's voice... Did she teach you how to make these dishes too?现在是秋桦的语气……该不会这些料理也是她教你做的吧？

MitylNope. Leader Groza made this lunch for you. I just heated it up.那倒没有啦，这是闪电队长给你准备的午餐，我只是帮忙热了一下。

CommanderMmm... It's good. You know, seeing you reminds me of the days back in Griffin. You were imitating others even then.嗯……好吃。 看到你，我又想起在格里芬的时候，你那时就经常会模仿别人了。

MitylHmph-hmph-hmph! I'm different from before, y'know! My acting skills have been upgraded in every way!哼、哼、哼！现在的我可是和以前不一样的哦，各个方面的演技都有提升！

MitylIn fact, I dare say that I can even do a perfect impression of the new Elmo members that I've never met before!不怕告诉指挥官，即使是以前没见过的艾莫号的新成员，我现在都能模仿得很像！

CommanderNew members? Are you talking about Krolik and the others?新成员？是说克罗丽科她们吗？

MitylThaaaaat's right~ Watch this—没错～你看我给你表演一段哦——

Mityl"...Unclean object... one that cannot be touched..."『……污秽的器物……不可触碰者……』

Mityl"Haaaah? What's wrong with the food I heated up?!"『哈？我热的饭能有什么问题？！』

Mityl"...Collapsed, a helpless beggar..."『……崩落，无助的乞求者……』

Mityl"I just... It only fell on the ground for a little bit! Three second rule and all that!"『那只是……稍微掉在地上了而已，只要在三秒内捡起来就没事！』

Commander(Coughs heavily)咳……咳咳！

MitylAwawawa! Commander, are you okay? Have some water!哇哇哇！没事吧指挥官，快喝点水！

Commander(Clears throat) Thank you, I'm fine. Although... That didn't actually happen, did it?嗯……谢谢，我没事，不过你刚才演的……不会是真的吧？

MitylThat little skit just now?刚才演的？

MitylOf course not! How could I possibly feed you something that fell on the floor? This is what we call artistic license, Commander—a work of fiction. Only a dummy would take it as truth~不是啦，掉到地上的食物当然不能吃啦，只是艺术加工而已，艺术加工～

Mityl...Though I must admit, part of the inspiration came from how I spilled a teensy bit of the food when heating it up.……虽然灵感来源是刚才加热饭菜时洒了一点出来。

Commander...I'll choose to believe that for now.……我姑且相信你吧。

MitylOh, relax, Commander! "This food is aaaaabsolutely safe~ I can guarantee it in Colphne's voice!"放心啦指挥官！『饭菜绝·对·没有问题～人家可以用寇尔芙的语气向你保证！』

CommanderSure thing. However, do note that you were copying the old Nemesis there.我明白了。不过，你刚才模仿的纳美西丝已经是以前的她了。

CommanderHer language module has returned to normal. She can talk just like any other Doll now.纳美西丝的语言模块已经恢复正常，她现在能够像普通人形一样说话。

MitylHuh? Really? Were the reference videos I studied too old?咦？是这样吗？难道是我参考的视频资料太旧了？

MitylI mean, Nemesis doesn't speak often, so I had to consult old video logs to imitate her speech patterns.毕竟纳美西丝很少说话嘛，我只能通过以前的记录模仿她的语气。

MitylI spoke directly to everyone else, though! Commander, could you help me see how accurate my imitations are?不过，其他人我都有直接和她们对话过的！指挥官也来帮我看看模仿得像不像吧？

MitylLet me think! First, we have Leader Groza...我想想哦！首先是闪电队长……

Mityl"Please, Commander. Let me stay by your side more often."『拜托了指挥官，请让我更多地待在您的身边。』

MitylAnd then we have Vepley—然后是维普蕾——

Mityl"Vepley loves Commander the best! Vepley will do ANYTHING to make the Commander happy☆"『维普蕾最喜欢指挥官了！只要能让指挥官开心，维普蕾做什么都可以☆』

MitylOh yes, other than Dolls, I can imitate people too!对了对了，我会模仿的还不只是人形哦！

Mityl"Commander, like! Thank you, taking care of Helena!"『指挥官、喜欢！照顾海伦娜、谢谢！』

Commander(Coughs again)咳咳咳！

MitylCommander, did you choke again? Have some water!指挥官你怎么又呛到了？快喝水！

CommanderIt's okay, it's not because of the food...不用了，我呛到不是食物的问题……

CommanderI just don't think they'd ever say the things you just had them say.我只是觉得，你刚才模仿的那些，都不太像她们平时会说的话。

MitylSo you'd rather see their usual selves? But those impressions don't feel so necessary; you can see them anytime.指挥官更想看大家平时的样子？但那样的话，感觉不需要我模仿，指挥官也能随时看到啊。

CommanderMaybe it's all just too novel for me.可能是新鲜感太足了。

Helena...……

GrozaCommander... Who was that just now?指挥官……刚才那个是？

VepleyVepley heard Vepley's voice! It sounded just like Vepley!维普蕾听到了自己的声音哦，真的好像啊！

MitylOh my! The three of them just happened to turn up! What a coincidence, ehe~啊呀呀！她们三人刚好出现啦，这也太巧了一点吧！诶嘿～

(It seems that the three people that Mityl was copying have arrived on the Crew Deck without me realizing it.)（不知是什么时候，被米蒂尔模仿的闪电她们已经来到了活动层中。）

CommanderYou three... when did you get here?你们三个……什么时候在这里的？

CommanderThe timing's far too convenient for it to just be a coincidence. Tell me the truth, Mityl.出现的时机也太凑巧了点，老实交代吧米蒂尔，这不可能是偶然。

MitylHehe~ Guess you've found me out, huh?嘿嘿～被发现了？

MitylActually, I told everyone beforehand that I'd be doing impressions for you.实际上我有提前告知大家，说要在指挥官面前进行扮演。

MitylEveryone was interested in how you'd react, so they came over to take a look!大家都很好奇指挥官会是什么反应，所以就过来看了！

GrozaI'm sorry, Commander. We were playing along with Mityl's little game.抱歉指挥官，我们跟着米蒂尔一起胡闹了一下。

VepleyCommander, you looked really happy when you saw Mityl's performance just now. Did you want to hear Vepley say "Vepley loves you" too?指挥官刚才看到米蒂尔扮演的时候，好像很开心哦。难道你也想听维普蕾说“喜欢你”吗？

HelenaNot true! Helena, Commander's heart, moved!假的！海伦娜。指挥官、被感动了！

Commander...Rather than moved, my heart skipped a beat in shock. Mityl did a great job of imitating you.……感动倒不至于，但我确实被吓了一跳，米蒂尔模仿得太惟妙惟肖了。

MitylHehe~ Even though I was just playing a role, I still did my best to express everyone's true feelings for you, Commander!哼哼～虽然只是扮演，但我有努力表达大家对指挥官真实的感情！

MitylYou need to reach deep into your heart before you can deliver a truly outstanding performance. You understand that, don't you, Vepley?要想完成出色的表演，就必须先触及自己的内心。这个道理维普蕾应该明白吧？

VepleyDeep into my heart? That's right~ Vepley is aaaaalwaaaaays showing the Commander what's in Vepley's heart☆!内心？没错哦～维普蕾一直都是用真心面对指挥官的☆！

HelenaMityl? Are you, superstar?米蒂尔？说话、像大明星？

MitylYup~ That's right! I've starred in a few movies before~ Granted, I was just an acting double.嗯嗯～你说对了！我确实曾经作为明星出演过电影哦～虽然只是替身就是了。

HelenaReally? Proof! Show proof!真的？证据！拿出证据！

MitylYou want proof? Hmm... That'll be hard. I mean, all the names in the cast list are Lefiya's.还要证据的吗？唔……那可麻烦了，毕竟电影的演员表里都是莱菲娅的名字。

Mityl...And I can't find all the stuff I collected before either.……以前收集的那些东西，也都已经找不到了。

(Mityl's vexation is very apparent. Come to think of it, she and Kuro packed a lot of stuff up while preparing to meet me.)（米蒂尔显得有些为难。说起来，她和卡萝为了和我汇合，原本是准备了很多行李的。）

(Unfortunately, they had an accident en route, and all her Lefiya collectibles went up in flames with their RV.)（结果途中发生意外，和莱菲娅有关的收集品也和房车一起被烧毁了。）

HelenaNo proof? Lying?没有证据？撒谎？

GrozaMityl's not lying. She was just so eager to meet the Commander that she had to leave some important things behind. That includes the proof. Isn't that right?米蒂尔没有撒谎，她只是为了见到指挥官，不得不抛下了一些重要的东西。那些证据也都不见了，对吧？

MitylHaha~ It does seem like a shame now that I think about it.哈哈～现在想来确实有点可惜。

MitylI'm sorry I can't show them to you, Helena. I used to have a biiiig treasure chest with lots and lots of rare goodies!对不起哦，不能给海伦娜看了，我本来有个很大的“宝物箱”～里面囤了不少珍贵的收藏品！

HelenaTreasure chest? No treasure?宝物箱？宝物、没有了吗？

VepleyAh~ Vepley suddenly got an idea for a new song!啊～维普蕾突然有新歌的灵感啦！

Vepley"Even if we can't find the treasures we lost♪, we can still make new memories together☆" What do you think, Commander?“丢掉的宝物没法找回♪，但我们可以创造新的回忆☆”指挥官觉得怎么样？

CommanderI think it's not bad. It probably reflects Mityl's current mood.我觉得还不错吧，大概很符合米蒂尔现在的心情。

MitylThat's right~ It really touched my heart! From now on, I'm going to make new memories with the Commander and everyone!没错～简直唱到了心坎上！我今后要和指挥官还有大家一起，创造新的回忆！

Treasure In The Chest 2 珍贵的箱中之物2

Commander...Alright, I understand.……好的，我知道了。

PoludnitsaI'm very sorry an accident like this happened.我很抱歉发生了这种意外情况。

CommanderIt's alright. This is an important deal after all. I'll be waiting until evening.没关系，毕竟是一桩重要的交易，我就先等到傍晚吧。

MitylCommander, did something come up?指挥官，是发生什么意外情况了吗？

CommanderYes, just a little something. The person we're dealing with might be a few hours late, give or take.嗯，一点小问题，我们的交易对象可能要迟到好几个小时。

(Today, while I was in Mokosh to finalize the details of the partnership with Vasily, I took the opportunity to meet with several underground brokers interested in our goods.)（这天，我趁着来莫科什和瓦西尔确定合作事项时，顺便约好了另外几名对农产品有兴趣的暗商。）

(However, it would seem something came up. Poludnitsa just called to tell me that our meeting would have to be delayed.)（然而，似乎是出了一些状况，佩妮泽刚才临时通知我会面的时间需要延期。）

CommanderIn any case, we may have to stay in Mokosh for a while longer.总之，我们可能不得不在莫科什多待一段时间了。

MitylDon't worry! As your bodyguard during your time in Mokosh, I'll stay close to you at all times!不用担心！作为这次指挥官前往莫科什期间的护卫，我会随时紧跟着你的！

CommanderYou don't have to do that. Security here isn't too bad.倒不必一直跟着，这附近的治安没什么问题。

CommanderWell, I don't have anything planned for the next few hours. If you want to explore the city, now's the time.接下来的几个小时没有安排，你要是想要逛逛，刚好可以趁这个时候。

MitylThat's a no go. I don't wanna leave your side, Commander.那不行，我才不要离开指挥官的身边。

MitylAh~ But if my ears don't deceive me, you said you didn't have anything planned for the time being, right?啊～不过，指挥官刚才说了接下来没有安排，对吧？

MitylHehe~ I can't just go off alone on my merry way, but if I had you with me... then I could totally protect you AND go sightseeing at the same time, right?嘿嘿～虽然不能一个人去，但只要有指挥官陪着我……不就可以一边保护指挥官的安全，一边逛街了吗？

(Mityl drags me to a vibrant shopping street. Soon, her arms are filled with bags of all shapes and sizes.)（米蒂尔拉着我来到了繁华的商业街上。不一会儿，她的手上就拎满了各种大包小包。）

MitylCommander, look! These sunglasses are styled in a way that only just became popular in the Green Zones last month!指挥官你看！这款墨镜是上个月才开始在绿区流行的款式诶！

CommanderSo that's what is trending in the Green Zones now. But don't you think they're too big for you?绿区现在流行这样的啊，但你戴的话会不会太大了点？

MitylIt's not like that! I wanted to buy them for you, Commander! You spend all your time in the ops room, so they might come in handy if the sunlight outside gets too bright!不是啦！我是想买给指挥官，你每天都呆在指挥室，要是遇到阳光太强的时候，说不定就可以用得上啦！

CommanderIs that so? For some reason they don't seem too useful to me...是吗？我总感觉不是很用得上……

MitylThey will be! You should buy more stuff at times like this! Better safe than sorry!用得上的！这种时候就应该多买一点，有备无患！

MitylThis, this, and these are all for you, Commander!这个、这个、还有这些，都是给指挥官买的！

MitylAnd these are gifts for everyone. I bought a little present for everyone on the Elmo~还有这边的话，是给大家买的礼物，我有给每位成员都准备伴手礼～

(Mityl smugly holds up the shopping bags dangling from her arms, like a bird showing off her plumage.)（米蒂尔得意地举起挂在手臂上的购物袋，就像一只鸟儿在展示翅膀上的羽毛。）

CommanderDon't you think you've bought a little too much stuff?会不会买得太多了点？

MitylI only feel safe when I've got lots of things stocked up!只有多囤一点才能带来安全感！

MitylOr are you worried that I don't have enough money, Commander? Don't worry! I just found out that the credits I saved up in the satellite city I was staying in previously could also be used in Mokosh~还是说指挥官担心钱没带够？不用担心！我刚才发现，我以前存在卫星城的信用币，竟然可以在莫科什使用呢～

CommanderI'm not worried about that. It's just that we're meeting those underground brokers later—won't carrying all this stuff be inconvenient?我不是担心这个，只不过之后还要和暗商们见面，拿着这么多东西会不会不太方便？

MitylOh yeah, I never thought of that...对哦，我确实没想到这个……

MitylThen what should we do? Should we return some of this stuff?怎么办呢？要不拿回去退掉一些？

CommanderI don't think that's necessary. We just need to head back and drop it off on the Elmo.那倒不用，只是看来要先回一趟车上，把这些东西放好才行。

MitylAlright... Haha, I'm sorry, Commander. I got too excited and forgot about that.好吧……哈哈，对不起指挥官，我刚才有点太兴奋了，不小心疏忽了这些。

MitylWhen I was in the Green Zone, I used to imagine going shopping with you like this. I never expected that I'd be able to do it with you today. Ahhh, I'm just so happy!因为实在太开心了，以前在绿区的时候我就幻想过和指挥官一起逛街，没想到今天真的能实现。

CommanderThat's alright. The truth is, I rarely get to relax like this too. Going shopping together feels quite novel.没关系，我也很少有像这样放松的机会。一起购物的感觉，还挺新鲜的。

MitylYou like shopping too, Commander? Then I should take this opportunity to buy you a new outfit.指挥官也喜欢购物？那要不趁这个机会给指挥官再买一套衣服吧。

MitylAfter all, I was a big star, so it's only natural that I'd know all about trends and fashion...我毕竟也做过大明星，对于流行的穿搭可是很了解的……

Resident A...Hey? Did you hear that? She's a Green Zone movie star!……喂！听到她说的了吗？那个人果然就是绿区的电影明星！

Resident BI didn't know rich Green Zoners would come to Mokosh too.原来绿区的有钱人也会来莫科什啊。

MitylHweh?诶？

(Just as we're soaking in the joyful atmosphere, Mityl and I suddenly sense the eyes of the surrounding people on us.)（就在这开心的氛围中，我和米蒂尔却突然感觉到了来自周围的视线。）

(I don't know whether it's because she was too loud, but she's drawn the attention of the passers-by. The people on the shopping street gather round and soon form a rather loose wall of bodies around us.)（不知道是不是因为她说话太大声，吸引了路人的注意。商业街上的人们纷纷驻足，很快在我们周围形成了一道松散的人墙。）

Resident AShe looks just like that lady from the movies.确实和电影里的人长得一样。

Resident BNo, that's not quite right. If you look closely, it's apparent that she's actually a Doll. How could she be Lefiya herself?但是不对，你仔细看，这是个人形，怎么可能和莱菲娅是同一个人呢？

MitylOh dear... What's going on? This is the first time people have recognized me on the street...啊呀呀……这是怎么回事，在大街上被人认出来这还是第一次吧。

MitylAh, um, you've got the wrong person! I, uh, I just happen to look exactly like Lefiya~那、那个，是你们弄错了哦！我和莱菲娅……只是刚好长得像而已～

(Mityl frantically tries to come up with whatever excuse she can, but "just happening to look exactly like her" isn't convincing anyone.)（米蒂尔慌乱地想要解释，但恰好长得像的说法显然不容易让人信服。）

CommanderLet's go, Mityl. Staying here is only going to make a bigger mess of things.走了米蒂尔，留在这里只会让情况更乱的。

MitylHuh? Wait a minute...诶？等等……

(I grab Mityl's hand and pull her away from the marketplace before a larger crowd gathers.)（我拉住米蒂尔的手，赶在她被更多人注意到之前离开了市场。）

(We run all the way to a secluded area at the edge of the market.)（我们一直跑到了市场周围一个人少的地方。）

CommanderWe should be fine here.到这里应该可以了吧。

MitylHehe~嘿嘿～

CommanderCare to share the joke, Mityl?米蒂尔？你在笑什么？

MitylOh, it's nothing~ I was just thinking how lucky I was.没什么哦～我是在想自己的运气真好。

MitylIf I hadn't been recognized on the street, I would've needed to go to a lot of trouble just to get you to hold my hand.要不是在街上被人认了出来，还很难找到机会和指挥官牵手呢。

(Mityl smiles and lifts my hand, then rubs it against her cheek.)（米蒂尔笑着抬起我的手，凑到脸颊边蹭了蹭。）

CommanderWell, given the situation, I had to pull you away. Since we're in the clear, we can probably let go now...毕竟是那种情况，我只能拉着你先离开。那既然已经脱困，差不多可以放开……

MitylEh? Nooo, I don't want this to end yet!诶？不要就这样结束嘛！

Mityl"I still want to get closer to you, Darling~"『我还想和Darling更加亲密地在一起！』

CommanderBasti would totally say something like that, but don't you think you're overdoing it a little?这是贝丝蒂才会说的话，你的戏稍微浮夸了一点。

MitylThey might be Basti's words, but they reflect how I feel right now.虽然是贝丝蒂的话，但此刻的心情却是相同的。

MitylAw c'mooooon, just a little bit longer, Commander, let me feel more of you.拜托了，只要再维持一会儿就好，让我再多感受一下指挥官。

Commander...What am I going to do with you? Alright then.……真拿你没办法。

MitylYaaaay! Thank you, Commander!好耶！谢谢指挥官！

(After seeing that I'm not refusing her, Mityl grabs my arm and leans against my shoulder.)（见我没有再拒绝，米蒂尔进一步抱住了我的手臂，靠在我的肩上。）

MitylCome to think of it... Is Lefiya really that popular in Mokosh?说起来……莱菲娅原来在莫科什这么有名的吗？

CommanderIsn't she a famous Green Zone movie star? It's not surprising that people in the Yellow Zone would know her.她现在是绿区的著名影星吧？那在黄区有人认识也不奇怪。

MitylBut this didn't happen the last time I came to Mokosh. It's as though everyone here suddenly learned about Lefiya.但我上次来莫科什的时候没发生过这种事。就仿佛是突然间，这里的居民就都认识了莱菲娅一样……

Commander...Perhaps you're right. Maybe everyone DID become aware of her overnight.……或许你说得对，还真是突然之间大家都认识了。

MitylHm? What do you mean, Commander?诶？指挥官什么意思？

(I point toward a nearby electronic ad.)（我抬起手，示意米蒂尔看向不远处的一块电子宣传屏。）

(The screen shows a looping ad that displays a slogan that clued me in.)（屏幕上是正在循环播放的商业广告，而其中便夹杂了那句让我恍然大悟的宣传语。）

Mityl"Take part in a short film competition and win a collection of the actress Lefiya's merchandise, worth 100,000 Sardis Gold." Is that it?“微电影比赛，奖品是价值10万萨狄斯金的明星演员莱菲娅的珍藏周边”？

MitylIs that Lefiya on the ad? Hey, I think that picture's only authorized for use in the Green Zones!宣传图上的是莱菲娅耶？等等，那张照片好像只在绿区有使用权吧！

(Indeed, said starlet is currently gracing the screen, but the picture shows clear signs of being stitched together.)（屏幕上正是那位电影明星的身影，但图片明显有拼接的痕迹。）

(Like Mityl said, this event is most likely not officially sanctioned. It's probably the work of a Yellow Zone merchant trying to make use of her popularity.)（正如米蒂尔刚才所说，这个活动应该并没有得到授权，只是黄区商贩想借用明星的热度罢了。）

MitylWait, the prize is a merch collection... Could it be?奖品内容是珍藏周边……难道？

CommanderDid you notice something?有什么让你在意的地方吗？

MitylYup! If I'm not wrong... Commander, the merch collection they're offering as a prize—嗯！如果我没弄错的话……指挥官，它上面列出的珍藏周边的奖品——

MitylThose are all things from the treasure chest I kept in my RV!那都是我放在房车上宝物箱里的东西！

Treasure In The Chest 3 珍贵的箱中之物3

MitylCommander, I checked with the organizers. That Lefiya merch collection really did come from my treasure chest!指挥官，我找主办方确认过了。那些“莱菲娅的珍藏周边”果然是来自我的“宝物箱”！

CommanderDidn't they burn up with the RV?那些物品不是和房车一起被烧毁了吗？

MitylThat's what I thought too, but now... it looks like some of the items weren't completely destroyed by the attack.对啊，我本来也以为是这样，但现在看来……或许在遭到攻击的时候，里面的一些物品并没有完全被损坏。

MitylI guess someone found them afterwards and sold them to an underground broker.大概后来有人捡到了它，然后卖给了暗商。

CommanderBut then how did they end up as prizes?那它又是怎么变成奖品的？

MitylI heard the organizers say that the brokers wanted to promote the short film competition, and the Lefiya merch from my treasure chest was the most eye-catching prize they had.我有听主办方透露了一些，说是暗商们想宣传微电影比赛，而“宝物箱”里的明星周边刚好能成为最有噱头的奖品。

MitylWhile I said I was willing to just buy the items back outright from them, the organizers were afraid that doing so would affect the event. They told me that they would rather I signed up for the competition and won the prize back officially...也是由于这样，虽然我表示可以出钱把东西买回来，但主办方却害怕影响到活动的举行，所以希望我也能报名参加，用比赛的方式赢回奖品……

(Mityl sighs in resignation. However, I can tell she's not really feeling down about this, likely because she's already figured out what her next move is.)（米蒂尔有些无奈地叹气。我能明显看出她并没有感到很难过，大概是已经想好了接下来要做的事。）

MitylTherefore! I'm going to make a homemade short film~ And I want you to help me, Commander.所以咯！我打算要拍摄一部自制的微电影～指挥官你来帮我吧。

(Mityl whips out a miniature camera and stuffs it into my hands.)（米蒂尔下一秒拿出了一部小型摄像机，塞到了我的手上。）

MitylAll you have to do is capture my best side! Come look me up when you're free~指挥官只要负责拍摄就好啦！等你有空的时候随时来找我吧～

(Title: A Mousie's Tail)（片名：鼠鼠的故事）

(Starring: Mityl, Filmed By: Commander)（主演：米蒂尔 拍摄：指挥官）

(Note: This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.)（注意，本故事纯属虚构，如有雷同则是玩梗，请勿对号入座。）

MitylOnce upon a time, there was a mousie. Deep within, the mousie was filled with loneliness. Late at night, when all was quiet and they were alone, depression clawed at their heart amidst the shadows.鼠鼠的内心其实十分孤独，特别是在夜深人静，独自一人时，情绪会非常低落。

MitylIn the past, that little mousie was just a Doll without a heart. They witnessed the other Dolls laugh with joy, but they could never fit in.曾经的鼠鼠，只是个没有心的人形，看着别的人形在笑，自己却融入不进去……

MitylBut they wanted to. So, they learned how the other Dolls talked. But that just led to them being seen as a troublemaker.但鼠鼠非常想融入大家，所以才学着别的人形说话，却渐渐被当成了捣乱鬼。

MitylIn truth, the mousie just wanted to find themselves! 'Twas I, the mousie of this tale, a Doll with a story of her own... with a heart of glass.可实际上，鼠鼠只是想要寻找自我！鼠鼠我呀，也是个有故事的人形，内心其实非常脆弱……

CommanderCut!卡！

MitylOh, that "Cut!" just now was really good! You sounded just like a director, Commander!刚才的这句『卡』很不错哦！指挥官，你特别有导演的感觉了！

Commander...Having listened to all that, I couldn't help but ask: just what on earth is going on in this story?……我只是听到一半实在是忍不住想问问，这到底是在演什么？

MitylYou don't know, Commander? This piece of mousie literature is making the rounds on the net!指挥官不知道吗？这是在一些网络社区里很火的鼠鼠文学哦！

(Mityl raises her hands and mimes a pair of mouse ears on her head.)（米蒂尔抬起双手，放在头顶上面模仿起老鼠耳朵。）

MitylDon't you think my hairstyle makes me look like a 'lil mousie? The story fits me surprisingly well, right?你看，我的发型不也很像鼠鼠吗？所以可能会意外地合适？

Commander...Who wrote this depressing script, anyway?……这么消极的剧本是谁写的啊？

MitylOh, it was Kuro. She knows all about what's popular online.卡萝呀，她对网上的流行比较了解。

MitylAs for it being too depressing, she had some fine words to share: "Don't worry one bit about peeps talking trash about you! Short film contests are won by the amount of engagement you get. So stir some shit up! Stir it good and hard!", thus were the words she spake, I think.关于太消极这点她也提醒过我：『不要害怕被人喷！微电影比赛就是流量获胜，就是要搞事、不择手段地搞事！』这样呢。

MitylDo you think there's something wrong with it?指挥官是觉得有哪里不好吗？

CommanderNot really, but it seems kind of abstract... I can't really keep up with the ideas it's trying to convey.这倒没有，只是比较抽象……我有点跟不上思路。

MitylThat's fiiine~ Actually, I don't really get it either. Memes today change too fast. There are actually a lot of things I don't understand; all I can do is just copy them.没关系的～其实我也不懂，现在的梗都换得太快了，总是模仿来模仿去的，我也有很多不明白呢。

MitylTherefore, I decided to add something to it that I could understand and which I could relate to my personal experiences.所以呢，我在里面加了一些自己能理解的，和我亲身经历有关的内容。

CommanderYour personal experiences?亲身经历？

MitylFor instance, there'll be a line in the story later that says: "And so the lonely mousie finally met her special someone! With his help, the mousie found a place where she belonged!"像是后面会有剧情提到：『孤独的鼠鼠终于遇到了她重要的人！在他的帮助下，鼠鼠获得了自己的归宿！』

MitylSurrounded by her friends, the mousie became a sunny and cheerful Doll!就这样，在伙伴们的簇拥下，鼠鼠变成了开朗阳光的快乐人形！

CommanderOkay, the second half is pretty upbeat.这后面倒是挺积极的。

MitylSo you like the plot for the later parts of the story? In that case, we can start rehearsing the later scenes first~指挥官更喜欢后面的情节吗？ 那我们也可以先排练后面的戏～

(Mityl suddenly burrows under my arm.)（米蒂尔说着突然钻到了我的身旁。）

Mityl"Finally, the mousie found her favorite human."『终于，鼠鼠找到了她喜欢的人类。』

MitylHehe~ And now, it's time for you to pat my head, Commander!嘿嘿～那接下来就轮到指挥官来摸我的头啦！

CommanderThese lines are so weird.这些台词也太奇怪了吧。

MitylAre they? I mean, you've been smiling all this time. That proves being a mouse isn't so bad. At least I get your love and attention!是吗？但是指挥官也一直在笑啊，这证明其实当鼠鼠也没那么糟，至少可以得到指挥官的关爱！

(Mityl nuzzles up against my hand as I pat her and rubs herself all over my body. Soon, she sits down on my thigh.)（米蒂尔一边让我摸头，一边打闹着朝着我的身上蹭，很快就坐到了我的大腿上。）

(One minute she's touching my hair, the next she's pressing her nose into my hand... A playful mouse she's become indeed.)（她一会儿摸摸我的头发，一会儿又用脸来蹭我的手……像是真的变成了一只调皮的鼠。）

MitylCome touch me too, Commander~ Don't let your little mousie feel lonely!指挥官也来摸摸我啦～不要让鼠鼠感到寂寞哦！

Commander...You mean like this?……像这样吗？

(Since she's currently cuddled up against my hand, I'm left with no other option but to touch her neck with my fingers.)（由于她主动把脸贴到我手上，我只好伸出手指触碰她的脖子。）

MitylAh, Commander... that tickles...指挥官的手指，有点痒痒的……

(Mityl seems startled by it, but she doesn't shrink away.)（即使是米蒂尔似乎也被吓了一跳，但并没有躲开。）

Mityl"After being able to play with the Commander like this... the mousie felt that all the hardship she'd endured before this was worth it!"『能够像现在这样和指挥官互动……鼠鼠觉得之前所有的辛苦都值得了～』

(She gradually gets used to my motions and leans closer, allowing my fingers to reach deeper into her collar...)（渐渐适应后，她甚至进一步把脖子靠了上来，让我的手指能摸到衣领中更深的地方……）

Mityl"Commander... I want to rub my face on yours."『指挥官……我还想要……蹭指挥官的脸。』

CommanderHang on, Mityl... Is that line really part of the script?等一下，米蒂尔……这样真的是剧本台词吗？

MitylDon't sweat the small stuff, Commander. Just think of it as a rehearsal for the real thing.别担心指挥官，就当成是正式拍摄前的排练就好。

MitylA... personal, private rehearsal with you, Commander.和指挥官两个之间的……单独排练。

(Saying so, Mityl moves even closer to me. I can practically feel her breath on my face.)（米蒂尔一边说着，一边朝着我靠近。她的气息几乎就在眼前……）

KuroHey, Mityl! Heard you guys were filming already!米蒂尔！听说你已经在拍摄了吗？

KuroWhat about the script I gave you? Did the Commander like...我给你的剧本怎么样？有没有得到指挥官好评……

Kuro...It?……呢？

MitylOh dear... I forgot that I asked Kuro to help supervise the filming.啊呀……我都忘了，有让卡萝来帮忙监督的。

KuroW-W-What the hell are you doing?! I didn't write that into the script!你、你这是在搞什么飞机啊？我可没有在剧本上写这样的内容！

Commander...I knew there was no scene like this in there.……我就知道，果然是没有这段戏的。

(In the end, Kuro's sudden intrusion puts an end to Mityl's prank.)（最终，由于卡萝的突然闯入，米蒂尔的恶作剧总算是被阻止了。）

(Despite that, she seemed very happy. I suppose she really enjoyed the process of filming with me.)（不过她看起来依然很开心的样子，就像是尽情享受着和我一起拍摄的过程。）

Treasure In The Chest 4 珍贵的箱中之物4

MitylCommander! That short film we made together passed the preliminaries!指挥官！我们一起制作的微电影已经通过预赛了哦！

CommanderDid it? Congratulations.是嘛，恭喜你了。

MitylHehe, there's more good news. Take a look at this, Commander.嘿嘿，还有一个好消息，指挥官你看这个。

(Mityl picks up a box from the sofa and presents it to me. It looks like this is the reason she suddenly called me over to her room today.)（米蒂尔拿起了放在沙发上的箱子，把它递到了我的面前。看起来，这就是她今天突然叫我来房间的原因了。）

Commander...Wait, is this that treasure chest of yours?……难道说，这个箱子就是你的宝物箱？

MitylThat's right! For some reason, the organizers suddenly contacted me several days ago, and said they were willing to return the items to us on their own initiative.没错！不知为什么，主办方前几天突然联络我，说是愿意主动把东西归还～

MitylThat's so strange. I wonder why they'd do that?好神奇哦，到底是为什么呢？

Commander...I think it's because they saw your submission and felt that you were the obvious winner, so they gave you your prize ahead of time.……大概是看了你拍摄的作品，觉得冠军非米蒂尔莫属，所以就决定提前把奖品给你了吧。

MitylI don't think so, because after that, I discovered something—我可不这么认为，因为我后来发现了——

MitylThe sponsor behind this event was the underground broker we met in Mokosh!这次活动背后的资助者，竟然就是我和指挥官在莫科什会面过的暗商！

CommanderLooks like you already knew.看来你已经知道了。

(The items in Mityl's treasure chest have a special significance to her.)（对于米蒂尔来说，“宝物箱”里的东西有着特殊的意义。）

(Therefore, I asked Poludnitsa to look into the organizers of the short film contest.)（所以我让佩妮泽帮忙打听了一下，到底是谁举办了这次的微电影活动。）

(Turns out it was a broker we were partnered with, which made the rest easy...)（没想到竟然刚好是和我们有着合作的暗商，那接下来的事就好办了……）

MitylSome of the items inside got burnt, but all the important stuff is still in there!虽然还是被烧掉了一些，但重要的都在哦！

MitylAlrighty~ Time for an impromptu unboxing so I can show you the trail of footprints of my entertainment career for the past ten years!好～就让我来现场开箱，让指挥官来见证一下这十年来的演艺足迹！

(Mityl opens the box and begins showing off the items inside one after another.)（米蒂尔打开了箱子，开始一件一件地展示其中的物品。）

MitylThis is a still from a movie I was in... this was the first fan letter I ever got... Though, the fan intended it for Lefiya.这个是拍摄时的剧照、这个是第一次收到的粉丝信……虽然粉丝是写给莱菲娅的啦。

MitylAnd then there's this one, a picture that I took with my troupe the very first time I went on stage.还有这张，是我第一次站上舞台时，由剧团拍摄的照片。

CommanderA troupe? Weren't you making movies?剧团？你不是在拍电影吗？

MitylOh? You didn't know, Commander?哎呀？指挥官难道不知道？

MitylI was actually working with a theater troupe before I met Lefiya!其实在和莱菲娅认识之前，我就已经在小剧团里打工了哦！

MitylAt first, I simply went down to the community theater to watch performances and movies. But I went there so often that the manager took notice of me.一开始，我只是经常去演艺空间观看表演与各种影片。由于去得太频繁，就被那里的经纪人留意到了。

MitylI got my first big break when one of the performers fell ill and couldn't go on stage.后来有一次，有一位团员在表演前生病无法上场，我才有了第一次演出的经历。

CommanderIt seems every item in this box has its own story.看来箱子里的每件物品都有一个故事。

MitylYup. I kept them all because I was looking forward to this day... the day I could tell you all these stories.是的，我特意留下它们，就是为了今天……能向指挥官讲述这些故事。

(Mityl tells me all about how she went to the satellite city, became an acting double for a star, and then met Kuro. It's as if she's revisiting the steps as she regales me with the details.)（米蒂尔像是在细数过去的脚印，向我介绍她如何前往卫星城、如何成为了替身明星、之后又是怎么样和卡萝汇合的。）

(From her tales, I learn about the lives of the former Griffin Dolls who started anew in the Green Zones whilst I was scouring the Yellow Zones. They encouraged and supported one another, constantly looking forward to the day we'd all meet again...)（我也从中了解到了当我在黄区的时候，绿区内前格里芬人形们的生活。她们彼此鼓励，互相支撑，一直在等待重逢的那天……）

MitylWhile all these items are precious, they're nothing compared to this one!虽然这些东西都很珍贵，不过还是比不上这件！

MitylCommander, to me, this is probably the most meaningful item in this box!指挥官，对我来说，它才是这个箱子里面最有纪念意义的物品！

CommanderYou mean this data card?这是数据卡？

(The card in question is an old model. However, Mityl has it stored in an intricate box and it looks very well preserved.)（一张型号老旧的数据卡，却被米蒂尔放在精致的盒子内，看起来保存得很好。）

MitylI think it can still be played. Let's turn on the projector!应该还能播放的，我们把投影仪打开一下！

(Mityl inserts the card into the device. Soon, a scene similar to the short film we shot recently appears on the screen.)（米蒂尔将数据卡放入了播放器，投影屏幕上很快出现了和我们最近拍摄的微电影相似的画面。）

(It seems to be filmed in the Green Zone, inside Mityl's apartment...)（拍摄的地点应该是在绿区，米蒂尔居住的公寓内……）

P90Hehe, let's make a record of this! From today onward, I'll be properly studying acting!嘿嘿，记录一下，从今天开始我打算要学习演戏了！

P90I used to imitate people during my Griffin days, but simply copying others won't cut it if I want to stand on stage.虽然以前在格里芬的时候就经常模仿别人，但要想站上舞台的话，单纯的模仿可能不行。

P90It's not going to be easy, but if it helps me be more useful to the Commander when we meet again, I'm not giving up!对我来说这是一个挑战，但为了今后重逢的时候能更多地帮到指挥官，我不会轻易放弃的！

P90My delivery of that line yesterday was way worse than that of the other actors.昨天的那句台词，我的表现力比演员们差了不止一点。

P90So I asked them for advice, and they taught me a special way to practice.我特意请教了他们，然后知道了一种特殊的练习方式……

P90Simply put, I'm gonna draw strength from the Commander. You'll help me out, won't you, Commander?简单来说，我需要借助指挥官的力量。指挥官，你会帮助我的吧！

(The video shows Mityl practicing a monologue by herself in her apartment.)（视频中，是米蒂尔在公寓中一个人练习独角戏的记录。）

(She reads the script, doing her best to channel her emotions into the lines of the character she is playing.)（她对着剧本，尽全力释放情感，念出所饰演的角色台词。）

Video"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have..."『我的慷慨像海一样浩渺，我的爱情也像海一样深沉；我给你的越多，我自己也越是富有……』

Video"Dear Commander, please wait a little longer and I'll be there! I'll go to where you are!"『亲爱的指挥官，请再等一会儿，我就会来的！前往你所在的地方！』

Mityl...Is it weird to see this?……有什么奇怪的吗？

MitylHehe~ I feel a little shy when I watch my past self acting out scenes with you, Commander.嘿嘿～像这样和指挥官一起看过去的自己演戏，总感觉有点害羞呢。

(I can understand why Mityl feels that way. Every single video on this memory card shows Mityl delivering monologues directed at me.)（我能理解米蒂尔害羞的原因。这张数据卡中的每一段视频，在米蒂尔所演出的每一场独角戏中，她所念出的对手角色都是我。）

MitylCommander, you know about that void in my neural cloud...指挥官也知道的，我心智中的那个漏洞……

MitylI can't express my emotions naturally like other actress Dolls can. Even playing a role my own way is hard.我没法像其他演艺人形那样，自然地表现情感，更别说是用自己的方式演好一个角色。

MitylBut it's strange. Whenever I imagine that you are with me, I feel like I know how to act.但是很奇妙，一旦想象着指挥官在我身边，我好像就知道该如何扮演他们了。

MitylWhether it's longing for a lover, the trust in a friend, or even the complex blend of emotions that stirs between rivals...无论是对恋人的思念、对朋友的信任，甚至与对手间的复杂感情。

MitylWhen I imagine that the person opposite me is you, the words just flow naturally from my heart.我只要想象着面前站着的人是指挥官，就能自然而然地说出心里的话。

MitylAfter I realized that, I fell totally in love with performing, and came to enjoy the feeling of imagining you by my side.也就是发现这点之后，我彻底喜欢上了表演，喜欢上了幻想着指挥官就在我身边的感觉。

Commander...Have you been imagining me during your performances all this time?……你一直是想象着我，来进行演出的吗？

MitylYes. It all started with my longing for you. It's the reason why I could become an actress Doll, step on stage and stand in front of the camera.是的，对于指挥官的思念，才是一切的开始，是我能成为演艺人形，踏上舞台，走到镜头前面的原因。

MitylAnd these videos are precious treasures which record the start of all that.而这些录影，则是记录了这个开端的重要宝物。

MitylCommander, do you know why it's the most important item of them all now?指挥官，你现在知道为什么它是最有纪念意义的东西了吗？

(After hearing Mityl's description, I can almost imagine what she went through back then.)（听着米蒂尔描述，我仿佛能联想起她所经历的那段时光。）

(She imagined our memories, the days she spent with everyone in Griffin, reenacting them over and over again in search of the emotions that belonged to her.)（她想象着我们的回忆，想象着和大家一起在格里芬度过的日子，一遍一遍地扮演，从中寻找着属于自己的感情。）

(It was a long and weighty process, but Mityl always faced it with a blissful smile, be it then or now.)（这是一段漫长而沉重的经历，但在面对它时，无论是视频中的米蒂尔，还是此刻我眼前的她，都始终带着幸福的微笑。）

CommanderI'm glad I helped you find this.我很庆幸能帮你找到这些东西。

MitylYup! Thank you, Commander!嗯，谢谢指挥官！

MitylWell, the items aren't actually that important. When the RV got wrecked, I felt that nothing else mattered besides getting back to your side.东西倒是其次啦，当时房车被击毁的时候，我觉得只要能回到指挥官身边，其他的什么都不重要。

MitylAnd now, the dream I've had for so long has finally come true, so... Commander, may I get a little closer to you?而现在，一直以来的梦想已经实现，指挥官……我可以再靠近你一点吗？

(I don't bother waiting for Mityl to get up; instead, I scooch over to sit down beside her. My sudden initiative seems to startle Mityl.)（我没有等米蒂尔起身，主动坐到了她的身边。米蒂尔有些意外地被我吓了一跳。）

MitylHaha... That's strange, I'm feeling nervous all of a sudden.哈哈……好奇怪啊，突然有点紧张。

MitylThis didn't happen when I was pranking you last time.明明上次恶作剧的时候都没有这样。

CommanderWell, you were playing a role when you pulled your pranks, right?你恶作剧的时候，总是在故意扮演着谁吧？

MitylBut now... I want to face you with my true self, Commander.但现在的话……我想用自己真正的样子，面对指挥官。

MitylCommander, my heart will always be with you, no matter what we might encounter in the future.指挥官，无论我们今后会遇到什么，我的心都将永远跟随你。

MitylIt's not just because you're my Commander, but... because you gave me everything.这不仅是因为你是我的指挥官，更是因为……你是给了米蒂尔一切的人。

CommanderI'm very happy that I could become someone so precious to you.我很高兴能成为你心中如此重要的存在。

MitylCommander, you sound like you're not taking this seriously. I'm not kidding, you know.指挥官回答得这么简单，我可不是在开玩笑的哦。

CommanderI'm not kidding either. I just... I just don't know what to say at a time like this.我没有开玩笑，只是也不知道……该怎么说。

MitylThat's true. Sometimes, there are things words can't convey clearly.也是，有些时候语言是表达不清楚的。

MitylCommander... Could you make another promise with me?指挥官……能不能再和我做个约定。

CommanderWhat kind of promise?什么约定？

MitylPromise me... That your name will always occupy the most important place in my neural cloud.和我约定……让指挥官的名字，永远占据米蒂尔心智中最重要的位置。

(Mityl's face slowly approaches mine, as if she doesn't want me to leave, and she grabs my hands.)（米蒂尔的脸慢慢靠近过来，像是希望我不要离开一样，抓住了我的手。）

(I know in my heart of hearts what she means, and plant a soft kiss on her cheek.)（我已经明白了她的意思，于是在她的唇边轻轻落下一吻。）

MitylHehe~ I'll take that as a yes.嘿嘿～得到指挥官的保证了。

MitylThank you, Commander. It feels like no matter what I face in the future, I'll have the courage to keep going on.谢谢你，指挥官。我感觉不管今后面对什么，我都会有勇气走下去。

(The tender moment lasts only a few seconds before Mityl giggles merrily.)（动人的气氛仅持续了数秒，米蒂尔就再次开心地笑了起来。）

(As I look at her smiling face, I suddenly think that perhaps this is the most important thing I unearthed from that treasure chest.)（看着她的笑容，我突然觉得，或许这才是从“宝物箱”里寻回的最珍贵的事物。）

Covenant 铭契

MitylThough I enjoy copying how people speak, my feelings for you are the only part of "Mityl" that shines with everlasting truth in my neural cloud data.我很喜欢模仿别人说话，可只有对指挥官的感情，是我心智数据中，唯一属于“米蒂尔”的真实。

MitylThank you, Commander. You're the first person in this world who managed to grasp something as elusive as me~谢谢你，指挥官。是你在这个世界上第一个抓住了虚无缥缈的我～

MitylFrom now on, I won't be anyone's reflection, or anyone's substitute! I'll be my truest self and accompany you along your path!从这一刻起，我不再是谁的倒影，也不再是临时的替身！我要用全部的真实，去陪伴指挥官走上今后的道路！

MitylCommander, I will always be your one and only mistress of mimicry, Mityl~指挥官，我将永远是只属于你的百变模仿大师，米蒂尔哦～

One's Own Podium 属于自己的奖台

HostLadies and gentlemen, once again, I bid you welcome to tonight's award ceremony.各位来宾，再次欢迎大家参加今晚的颁奖典礼。

HostWe now invite the winners of our short film competition to come up on stage to receive their prizes!接下来我们将进行万众期待的颁奖仪式，邀请在此次微电影比赛中获奖的创作者们上台领奖！

(Our submission received a very good ranking in the competition, so Mityl and I were invited to attend the prize presentation ceremony in Mokosh.)（由于在微电影比赛中拿到了很好的名次，这一天，我和米蒂尔受邀参加了在莫科什举办的颁奖仪式。）

MitylErm... I'm actually feeling nervous. You'll go up on stage with me, won't you, Commander?唔……我竟然会有点紧张，指挥官你会陪着我一起上台的吧？

CommanderDon't worry. The organizer said that the cameraman will be going up on stage to collect the prize too.别担心，主办方有说过让负责拍摄的人也一起去领奖。

CommanderThat said, surely you must have received prizes before in the Green Zone, right? Why are you so nervous now?不过，这样的获奖典礼以前在绿区不是也有经历过吗？你怎么会这么紧张？

MitylWell yeah, I've experienced it before, and on a grander scale than this. But...经历过，而且规模还要大得多，但是……

MitylThis is my first time receiving a prize in my own name.这却是我第一次要以自己的身份上台领奖。

MitylIt feels like I won't be holding up the trophy as a substitute for anyone else, but as myself.有种不再是作为替身捧起奖杯，而是要成为自己的感觉。

CommanderI see. Don't worry, I'll be with you when the time comes.原来是这样，别担心，到时候我就站在你的身边。

(I grab Mityl's hand to help calm her down.)（为了让紧张的米蒂尔冷静下来，我抓住了她的手。）

MitylHehe~ Thank you, Commander. Indeed, since you'll be with me, there's nothing to fear.嘿嘿～谢谢指挥官。也对哦，有指挥官在的话，就没什么好怕的了。

MitylI'll hold your hand and walk towards the podium...我将拉着指挥官的手，走向属于我的领奖台……

(Mityl tightens her grip on my fingers slightly.)（米蒂尔的手微微用力，回握住了我的手指。）

CommanderWe're up.该我们了。

MitylYup! But before I go onstage, there's one thing I need to do...嗯！不过上去之前。指挥官，我想……

(The none-too-spacious venue erupts with applause. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the grand entrance of the champions.)（并不宽敞的会场内响起了阵阵掌声，所有人都在期待冠军走到灯光下。）

(Meanwhile, Mityl takes advantage of the fact that the crowd hasn't noticed us yet to burrow into my embrace before standing on her tiptoes.)（而米蒂尔趁着人群还未注意到我们，突然依偎到我的怀里，然后踮起了脚尖。）

Mityl...……

(Covered by the noisy crowd, Mityl plants a quick kiss on my cheek.)（在喧闹的人群遮挡下，米蒂尔快速地在我的脸上亲吻了一下。）

CommanderMityl...米蒂尔……

MitylI needed to confirm that my agreement with you was still in effect.我要再次确认一下和指挥官的约定。

MitylTo make sure that you're by my side and in my heart too~确认指挥官此刻既在我的身边，也在我的心里～

CommanderAnd what's the verdict?结论呢？

MitylYou've always been there, of course. No matter when or how far apart we were.那当然是一直在啊，无论是什么时候，无论相隔有多远。

MitylCommander... You will always hold the most important place in my neural cloud's memories.指挥官……你始终都在我心智记忆中最重要的地方。

MitylI should apologize in advance—I might have to keep double-checking with you like this over and over when you're by my side... I hope you don't find it annoying.抱歉指挥官，当你在我身边的时候，我可能会忍不住一次又一次地像这样确认……希望你不会觉得麻烦。

CommanderOf course not. You can come to me anytime you need to confirm that fact.不会，当你想确认的时候……随时来找我。

MitylYup! Then it's time to go on stage.嗯！ 那么我们差不多该上去了。

MitylOnward, to our podium and our prize!去我们的领奖台上！

(Mityl seems to have calmed down, and she takes a step forward, still holding my hand, toward the lights shining down on the podium.)（似乎是终于安心了下来，米蒂尔拉着我的手，迈出脚步，朝着前方奖台上的灯光走去。）

(There, the person being honored is none other than herself—the one and only Doll named Mityl.)（而在领奖台上，获得荣誉的名字也不再是其他人，而是属于她自己——叫做米蒂尔的人形。）

Food Tasting 1 美食品尝1

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

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

MitylWanna talk, Commander? You can talk about anything with me!指挥官，要聊天吗？什么事都可以和我说哦！

About Movies关于电影

About Hairstyle关于发型

About Her Name关于名字

About Battle关于战斗

About Life关于生活

About "Lacking"关于“缺失”

CommanderMityl, you've watched a lot of movies, haven't you?米蒂尔好像看过很多电影？

MitylDo you like movies, Commander? Then I want to recommend you the romance movie "Daybreak's Love"!指挥官对电影有兴趣？那我推荐您看经典的浪漫爱情剧《黎明之爱》！

Mityl"Every day I can share my joy and sorrow with you is like a miracle of the universe!" I love that line!“如果世上有奇迹，那一定是与你同甘共苦的每一天！”这是我特别喜欢的一句台词！

CommanderIt's a very poetic turn of phrase.是很美好的说法呢。

CommanderOh yes, you've kept this hairstyle for a long time, Mityl. Do you like it?说起来，米蒂尔一直留着目前这个发型呢，很喜欢吗？

MitylYou know, Kuro asked me that before, and she said it looked like J*rry from the T*m and J*rry series.卡萝问过我一样的问题，还说这个发型很像《O和老鼠》里的鼠鼠。

MitylShe even said I was like J*rry, full of energy but with a sneaky side to me. What do you think, Commander?她还说我的性格也和鼠鼠有点像，充满活力的背后也有阴暗爬行的一面，指挥官觉得呢？

CommanderA little, perhaps. But I'm more captivated by your energy.有一点点，但米蒂尔的活力更感染我。

CommanderMityl, is there any special meaning to your name? I think you used it before in Griffin.米蒂尔的名字有什么典故么？在格里芬时期就见你用过。

MitylOh, it's the name of the protagonist of a story. It was about how Tyltyl and Mityl went on a perilous adventure in search of the bluebird of happiness to save their neighbor girl.这是一部小说里主角的名字哦。蒂蒂尔和米蒂尔，她们为了拯救邻居女孩踏上寻找蓝鸟的冒险之旅……

MitylDon't you think it's a heartwarming story?指挥官不觉得这是个很温暖的故事吗？

CommanderYou're a lot like them, always willing to help others.乐于助人的性格，和你很像。

CommanderYour fighting style is very aggressive. Make sure you coordinate with your team.你的作战风格很激进，战斗时要注意团队配合。

Mityl(Sigh) Everyone tells me that, but I keep finding myself running ahead of the group before I realize it.唉……我在作战时也被大家提醒过了，可还是会不由自主地冲到队伍的前面。

Mityl"Rush B! Magdump!" I just think that going as hard as possible is the quickest way to eliminate the enemy.“进攻B点！清空弹夹！”我总感觉这样能够更快速地消灭敌人。

Commander...I think I'll have you take on more assault missions in the future.……以后还是多让你承担突袭任务吧。

CommanderAre you getting used to life aboard the Elmo?米蒂尔在艾莫号待得还习惯吗？

MitylTotally! I'm really happy being able to meet my friends and see you every day.完全习惯哦！能和朋友们相聚，还能看到指挥官，每天都很开心。

MitylStill, it does seem a little boring sometimes. I'd like if there was a freaky pandemic or something, one that made everyone break out in colorful spots!不过偶尔也会觉得过于平静了……要是能发生可怕的传染病就好了，会让人出现大范围彩色斑点的那种！

CommanderAre you talking about that big ruckus in Griffin during Halloween... Please don't pull something like that again, I spent all night locked in a panic room...你说的是格里芬时的万圣节骚乱吧……拜托别再搞那种恶作剧了……

CommanderMityl, why have you been staring at me all this time?米蒂尔，你怎么一直盯着我看？

MitylHehe~ You know, when I look at you, I feel a sense of peace.嘿嘿～指挥官，其实我只要看着你，就会有一种安宁的感觉。

MitylIt's like my neural cloud is like a jigsaw puzzle and there's a piece missing. I've always been looking for a way to fill it. But after I met you, that sense of emptiness slowly faded away!我心智中有一块有缺失的拼图，一直以来，我都在寻找能填满它的存在。而在和指挥官相遇后，那种虚无感就渐渐地消失了！

Commander...I can't say I understand, but I'm glad I managed to help you.……虽然不太懂，但我很高兴能帮到你。

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。

Unto the Radiance · 4 瑞骋迎春至·4

(There are five minutes left until the beginning of the Elmo's "First-Ever IronDoll Triathlon".)（距离艾莫号“首届铁人形三项竞技大赛”开幕还有5分钟。）

MitylActually, there's something that's been bugging me for a while.其实啊，我一直有一个疑问哦。

MitylIt's about the name of this competition. Like, aren't Dolls made of metal to begin with? What even is the point of calling it the "IronDoll" competition, anyway?关于这个比赛的名字，人形本来不就是铁的吗？特意强调“铁人形”到底有什么意义呢？

KuroThe focus is on the "Triathlon" part rather than the "IronDoll" part.重点在于“铁人形三项”而不止是“铁人形”吧。

Kuro...Wait a minute, why am I even explaining all this?……不对，我为什么要解释这个。

KuroMore importantly, are you SURE everything is ready?现在最重要的是，你确定万事俱备了吗？

MitylYup yup, relaaaaax.嗯嗯嗯，放心啦。

MitylI handed all those invitations you gave me to the appropriate Dolls and I rehearsed my lines 99 times. It'll be fine.你的那些邀请信我都交给对应的人形了，主持台词我也已经在心智中排练过99次了，不会有问题的。

Kuro...Oh? Really?……哦？真的吗？

(The image of Kuro in the communicator window pauses for a moment. Then she chuckles softly, like an amused spectator settling down with a bucket of popcorn in hand.)（通讯投影中的卡萝顿了顿，随即发出一声看好戏般的轻笑。）

KuroA certain source who asked to remain unnamed has a lot of questions about this.某位不愿透露姓名的线人好像对此充满疑问哦。

MitylWhat do you mean?什么意思？

KuroMeh, it's not a big deal. Live events need surprises to be interesting.唔嗯……问题不大，现场活动当然是要有一些“惊喜”才有意思嘛。

KuroIt shouldn't impact the big picture much anyway.反正，应该不会对大局带来太多影响。

KuroIn any case, it's about time you went on stage, so I'll be hanging up now. Just look forward to those "surprises".到了你上台的时间了，我挂了，你就好好期待那些“惊喜”吧。

MitylHuh? Wha? Kuro?诶？诶？——卡萝？

(The only thing that answers her is silence.)（回应呼唤的只有静寂。）

MitylBut what did Kuro mean by surprises?卡萝说的惊喜，到底是什么呢？

Mityl...No, it's too late to think about that now. Come on, Mityl, don't let her rattle you.……不，现在考虑这个已经来不及了，别被她干扰，米蒂尔。

MitylThe curtain's about to rise, and no matter what accidents might occur, a professional actor must always show the audience the best side of themselves.帷幕即将升起，无论要面临何种意外，专业的演员必须向观众们呈现出最完美的一面。

MitylLet's goooooo! Time to rushrushrush!Rush! Rush!

MitylHihi! Distinguished guests and contestants, welcome to this exciting Doll event!嗨嗨！尊敬的各位来宾，各位选手！欢迎来到这场激动“人形”的盛会现场！

MitylI'm your host for the day, Mityl. How are you feeling, everyone? Let me hear you cheer!我是本次大赛的主持人米蒂尔，大家好吗？让我听见你们的欢呼声哦！

DushevnayaYaaaay—Ohhhh—好——哦——

PhaetusaWoooooo! Balthilde! Lotta! Go go go!呀嘿！巴希达！洛塔！加油！

SweeperAhhh, I can't take this anymore! Why did you drag me out for a lame event like this? I'm going to bed!受不了，这种无聊活动叫我干嘛？睡了！

PhaetusaOh dear, are you being difficult, Nyxie?哎呀，小黑还在闹别扭吗？

PhaetusaDon't be disappointed~ We might not have gotten a slot, but it'll be our turn next time!虽然这次没有得到参赛名额，下次就轮到我们啦，别太失望嘛~

SweeperWho's disappointed? What part of me looks disappointed to you?!谁失望了！我问你到底是谁失望了？

SweeperHow could I possibly get worked up over an insignificant little trifle like this...我告诉你我怎么可能因为区区这等不痛不痒的小事生气绝对不可能……

PhaetusaShhh. Nyxie, the contestants are about to arrive.嘘，小黑，选手们要登场了哦。

MitylLet's welcome our contestants—让我们欢迎首届大赛的选手们——

MitylRobella, Soppo, Balthilde and Lotta.洛贝拉。索普。巴希达。洛塔。

MitylVec...rod.维克……尔德。

MitylAnd Ru... Hm? Is that Harpsy?乌……唔！是哈卜茜？

MitylEhhh? What's going on? The contestant list shouldn't be like this, right?咦？咦？邀请名单不是这样的吧。

MitylI'm pretty sure it was supposed to be Vector and Ruchey!我记得是维克托和乌琪呀！

Harpsy...Was I seeing things?……是我的错觉吗？

HarpsyMityl said our names in a really weird way just now... Was she speaking in some other language?主持人说我们的名字时，好像出现了奇怪的口音……是什么语种呢？

WelrodWell, she imitates people all day long, it's no surprise she'd end up sounding weird after a while.模仿秀做多了，学到奇怪的口音也不奇怪吧。

WelrodFocus, Harpsy. This is a do-or-die battle for Team B.集中注意力，哈卜茜，这可是我们二队的存亡之战。

HarpsyAh... um, yeah...啊……是、是……

WelrodVector and Ruchey are still on their mission, so until they get back...维克托和乌琪还在执行任务。在她们回来之前……

WelrodAs deputy team leader, I will not allow Team B to be disbanded on my watch.身为代理队长，我，绝对不会让二队在我的手中解散。

(42 hours ago.)（42小时前。）

MechtyGood morning, Welrod...维尔德，早上好……

WelrodMake that "good afternoon".已经是“下午好”了。

WelrodIs something the matter, Mechty?米什缇，有什么事吗？

MechtyHere... these helmets... are for you...这是……给……的头盔……

MechtyBe careful... If you don't win... you... you'll be in trouble...小心……不通关……就……就……完蛋……

WelrodWhat? Could you say that louder, please?什么？可以请你大点声吗？

WelrodDid you just say Klukai gave these helmets to Team B?你刚才是说，这是可露凯给二队的头盔？

WelrodAnd that if we don't win, we'll be in trouble?如果不能通关，二队就完蛋了？

Mechty...Pretty much...……也算是吧……

Harpsy...Aiieeeee?……呀啊？

WelrodWhat does "trouble" mean? Will 404 disband Team B?什么是“完蛋”？404有解散二队的打算吗？

MechtyUh... maybe... Zzzzzz....有……有吗……呼呼zzzZ……

WelrodHey, wake up! Explain yourself more clearly!醒醒，把话说清楚！

WelrodHey! Hey!喂！喂！

Mechty...Hehe...……呼呼……

Harpsy...W-what should we do, Welrod?……怎、怎么办，维尔德？

(Welrod doesn't answer.)（维尔德没有回答。）

(A chill that defies mere words rises from beneath her feet. It slowly slithers up her spine like a cold, sticky snake before coiling around Welrod's mind.)（一种说不出的冷意凭空自脚底升起，像一条阴冷的蛇，缓慢地、黏腻地攀附纠缠上维尔德的心智。）

(Her frame's sensors begin throwing off error alerts. The sheer volume of anomalous data in her neural cloud, combined with the chilling visions which only she can see, makes her feel dizzy in a way she's never experienced before.)（素体传感器开始疯狂报错，堆积的错误数据与森冷的幻觉使维尔德感到前所未有的晕眩。）

Harpsy...Welrod? Welrod...……维尔德，维尔德……？

Welrod...I, I'm fine.……我，没事。

WelrodYes, that's right. If I can't handle this responsibility, there's no way Harpsy can.没错，如果我不能负起责任，哈卜茜就更没有办法了。

HarpsyAre you alright?你还好吗？

HarpsyVector and Ruchey are still on the mission. What should we do?维克托她们还在执行任务，我们要怎么办？

WelrodWell, let's just start by putting these helmets on.总之，先戴上这个头盔看看吧。

WelrodIt might just be a routine training progress evaluation for all we know. No point scaring ourselves for nothing.说不定只是日常训练进度测评，不用自己吓自己。

Harpsy...Okie. Still, are you sure this is just a routine assessment?……嗯……不过，真的只是日常测评吗？

HarpsyMechty wouldn't normally be tasked with something like this, right?这样的工作，一般不会让米什缇亲自来吧？

Harpsy...I mean, she'd probably sleep through the end of the world...……那可是天塌了都未必会出动的米什缇呀……

WelrodNo point thinking about that now.现在想这些没用。

WelrodLet's get started, Harpsy. We don't have much time.哈卜茜，我们接入吧，抓紧时间。

WelrodAccording to the virtual message that popped up after the sim battle, the test is considered passed as long as one person gets the prize.根据模拟战斗结算后弹出的那封虚拟信，只要有一个人拿到奖，就算是考验通过了。

WelrodTherefore, we need to help each other out even in the individual events.所以即使是个人项目，哈卜茜，我们要互相支援。

WelrodOne of us must win, whether it's you or me!不管是我还是你，一定、至少要有一个人赢！

HarpsyYeah, I'll help you with that.嗯，我会辅助你。

MitylAlright! And that concludes the contestants' introduction.好啦！选手的介绍就到这里结束了。

MitylIs there anything you'd like to say before the competition officially begins?在比赛正式开始前，几位选手有什么想要说的吗？

SoppoAnyone in my way had better look out! I can't wait any longer, hehehehehe!挡路的人形小心咯，我已经迫不及待了！嘿嘿嘿桀桀桀！

RobellaI will seize the future with my own hands.我会亲手抓住未来的。

BalthildeI hate all this competitive stuff, so I guess I'm here to make up the numbers?我讨厌竞争，总之凑个数就好了吧？

Lotta...Bweeehhh... I was trying to gather my courage since before the competition started but I just couldn't do it... please swap with me, Phaetusa...……呜呜……直到开始比赛，都没能鼓起勇气……请翡图萨和我交换……

HarpsyI, um, I'll do my best...我、我会努力……

WelrodDon't just do your best! 404 Team B must win this match!不仅是努力而已，这场比赛，404二队必胜！

MitylMhm! Looks like everyone's super motivated and they're eager to go.嗯嗯！每位选手都很有斗志呢，大家都跃跃欲试了。

MitylIn that case, I officially declare—那么我宣布——

MitylLet the match begin!比赛正式开始！

Unto the Radiance · 5 瑞骋迎春至·5

KlukaiThis is the place.地点没错，就是这里。

KlukaiHuh, I can't believe it's a transport truck. Is he trying to preserve the mystery of the destination?居然是运输车，是为了保持最终目的地的神秘感吗？

KlukaiLooks like he went to a lot of effort for this.对那家伙来说，算是格外用心了。

KlukaiWell, there's still some time. Let's check the dress' condition again.还有一点时间，再确认一遍礼服的状态吧。

MitylHow exciting! I could barely tear my eyes away!真是精彩！我的眼睛都移不开啦！

MitylTeam 1 has just completed the beginner stage and we can see that Soppo has already rushed onto the advanced stage, with Robella in hot pursuit!现在第一梯队刚刚通过初阶竞技场，可以看到索普已经冲进了进阶赛道，洛贝拉也在逼近！

MitylWhat's this? Robella's movements are a little strange. Is she employing some special tactic?咦咦？洛贝拉的动作有些特别，是不是有特别的战术呢？

MitylWhoa! Robella just stepped on Soppo's head and soared past her!哇啊！洛贝拉踩着索普飞过去了！

MitylWhat a shocker, Robella's in first place now.现在洛贝拉暂列第一，太惊人了。

RobellaSorry, but I'm going to be the winner.不好意思了，赢家会是我。

SoppoRo—bel—la!洛·贝·拉！

SoppoI'll chew apart anyone in my way, even if it's you, Robella!就算是洛贝拉我也要咬碎——

MitylJust look at how well they know each other's weaknesses! They really are teammates, even when they're going at each other.两位真不愧是队友，互相攻击起来对彼此的弱点十分了解呢。

MitylTeam 2's Welrod, Harpsy, and Lotta have entered the advanced stage, too. How will they do?第二梯队的维尔德、哈卜茜和洛塔也已经进入进阶赛道了。她们的表现会如何呢？

MitylHuh? Contestant Harpsy has slowed down all of a sudden. What's wrong, Harpsy? Have you reached your limits?咦咦？哈卜茜选手的效率忽然降低了。怎么了哈卜茜？是已经到极限了吗？

MitylNo, wait a minute. Harpsy's slowed down, but is it me or are Soppo and Robella suffering from some kind of invisible jamming attack?不、不对，随着哈卜茜的减速，索普和洛贝拉似乎受到了某种无形的干扰攻击？

WelrodWell done, Harpsy.很好，哈卜茜。

MitylNo way! What a stunning reversal!不会吧！大爆冷了！

MitylWelrod takes the opportunity to pass the dark horses Soppo and Robella and takes first place!维尔德趁机超越索普和洛贝拉两名黑马，成为第一！

RobellaShe's working together with her opponent? Isn't this supposed to be every Doll for herself?对方居然在合作？不是单人项目吗？

SoppoThat's cheating! She's obliviously cheating!作弊！这是青裸裸的作弊啊！

RobellaYou mean "obviously", right?你想说“赤”裸裸？

MitylAhem! Well, in response to contestant Soppo's objection, the competition committee wishes to once again affirm the rules; cooperation between contestants does not constitute a breach of the rules.咳咳！回答索普选手的异议，赛委会重新确认了规则，选手之间的局部合作不构成犯规哦。

WelrodAR Team, what are you doing here?AR小队，你们来干嘛？

WelrodAren't you both so devoted to a certain someone? Why are you taking part in 404's assessment?不是对那位情深义重吗？怎么也来参加404的考核？

SoppoHah?! What are you talking about?哈？！你在说什么东西？

WelrodHmph, suit yourselves.呵，随便你们。

WelrodAs long as Team B wins, there won't be a Team C.只要二队能合力取胜，三队就不会有成立的机会。

SoppoWhat Team C? We don't even have enough people for a full team!什么三队？我们明明一队都凑不齐啊！

RobellaShe's stalling for time, don't listen to her nonsense.她在拖延时间，别听她胡言乱语。

RobellaSoppo, shall we work together too?索普，我们也合作一下？

SoppoYup! That adjutant slot is ours!好！副官必须是我们的！

Harpsy...Wait, what adjutant slot? We're 404, what do you mean by adjutant?……副、副官？我们是404呀，什么是副官？

MitylLooks like things are heating up! The contestants have paired off, Soppo and Robella versus Welrod and Harpsy.战况焦灼，看起来索普和洛贝拉，维尔德和哈卜茜已经两两结盟。

MitylBut it seems that while both groups were busy with each other, neither of them noticed Lotta clearing the advanced stage and reaching the final stage!互相干扰的先行集团好像没发现，洛塔已经悄悄咪咪地通过了进阶赛道，到达最终赛段了呢！

BalthildeYou're so fast, Lotta.洛塔，你走得好快。

Lotta...If we finish up quick, we can go back sooner.……快点结束就能快点回去了。

MitylNone of the four contestants from the frontrunner group can break away to stop Balthilde and Lotta at the moment.先行集团的四位选手，谁都无法立刻抽身阻止巴希达和洛塔。

Mityl—No, wait, they've caught up! All six contestants are now neck and neck!——不，她们追上来了！六名选手全都凑到一起啦！

MitylJust how will it all turn out? Not even I can tell, and I've got front row seats to the whole thing!到底结果会如何，就连近距离观战的我也完全没有头绪呀。

WelrodTeam B is going to win!二队绝对、绝对要赢！

SoppoAdjutant! I'm going to be the Commander's adjutant for a day!副官！指挥官的一日副官！

LottaBweh... I want to go home...呜……想回家……

MitylIf there are no surprises, this should be the most exciting and intense moment of the match—不出意外的话，现在就是比赛最精彩最激烈的时刻了哦——

MitylThe finale begins now!最终赛段的竞技，现在开始！

Event Tie-in 1 活动番外1

（终年不见天日的莫科什地下监狱中，同样有人在留恋夕阳。）

Vasily沃夫加，你还记得太阳是什么颜色的吗？

Wulfgar什么意思？你是失忆还是失去常识了？

Vasily没有。只是忽然想起现在这个时间，差不多能在穹顶上欣赏到落日的美景。

Vasily真是神奇，在地下关了那么多年，我竟然从来没有忘记过太阳的样子。

Wulfgar听不懂你们文化人的酸话，说点有用的。

Wulfgar我说瓦西尔先生，你应该有备用钥匙的备用钥匙吧……

（瓦西尔笑了一声，还没开口，地道的尽头就响起了高跟鞋的声音。）

（这种清脆利落的脚步声，这些日子以来他们已经逐渐熟悉。）

Nikketa跟我走，你们该上路了。

Vasily呃，是哪一种上路？

Wulfgar哈，那女人终于憋不住了呗。

（回答沃夫加只有狱警淡淡的瞥视，和劈头盖脸而下的黑色布套。）

Vasily我也要戴吗？其实我对这里挺熟的，闭着眼睛也认得出路。更何况我们的钥匙已经被你……

NikketaLess talk, more work.少废话。

（下一秒，瓦西尔的视线也回归了黑暗，听觉因此而变得格外敏锐。）

（镣铐碰撞的声音，钥匙的声音，多重隔断门逐一开启的声音，然后是陌生守卫的声音。）

Mangi Security Team Member喂！你干什么？谁让你把他们带出来的？

Nikketa处决。

Mangi Security Team Member哈？我没收到消息啊。

Mangi Security Leader我也没听说。是谁签发的处决通知书？你的凭证呢？

Nikketa...……

（妮基塔没有争辩，只是展示了早已准备好的电子凭证。）

（凭证上的电子签名，正是兰汀本人。）

Mangi Security Leader……嗯，光看凭证确实没有问题。

Nikketa那二位辛苦了。

Mangi Security LeaderWait.等等。

Mangi Security Leader凭证没有问题，不代表我现在就能放行。

Mangi Security Leader总指挥官下过命令，一切当值人员，特别是人形，未提前通知的特别行动，都必须向任务发起人进行二次确认。

（妮基塔的神情没有任何变化。）

（但在心中，她已经意识到，曼尼安保的警戒程度比预估中更高。）

Mangi Security Leader你，去联系兰汀总指挥官。

Mangi Security Leader我在这里看着她们。

Mangi Security Team MemberFine.好。

（曼尼安保人员走向一旁的通讯终端。）

（很快，等待接通的提示音在狭窄的通道里响起。）

Mangi Security Team Member啧，指挥部怎么给我挂了？

Mangi Security Team Member兰汀总指挥官是不是出任务了？

Mangi Security Leader...No.……不。

Mangi Security Leader指挥部从来不会“挂断”通讯。

Mangi Security Leader再打一次。

（妮基塔留意到，曼尼安保队长悄悄与负责通讯的小队成员交换了眼神。）

（他握枪的手已经微微抬起，另一只手则按在紧急警报按钮旁边。）

Nikketa（让他按下去的话就麻烦了，动手吧——）

（通讯器再次响起。）

（这一次，提示音只持续了短短几秒。）

Lentine?兰汀。什么事？

（冷冽的女声从通讯器中响起。）

（那声音带着几分疲惫和不耐烦，正是兰汀。）

Mangi Security Team Member兰、兰汀长官！

Lentine?What's the matter?怎么了？

Mangi Security Team Member呃，我们这里有一项处决“莫科什”主谋二人组的任务，需要和您进行确认。

Lentine?确认。是我亲自签署的凭证，有什么问题？

Mangi Security Team Member不，凭证没有问题。但我们——

Lentine?没有问题就放行。

Lentine?别在这种事上拖拖拉拉。

Mangi Security Team MemberUnderstood!遵命！

Mangi Security Leader...……

（曼尼安保队长仍旧盯着妮基塔看了几秒。）

（直到妮基塔发出一声明显不耐烦的冷哼，他才收回放在警报按钮旁的手。）

Nikketa还有问题？

Mangi Security LeaderNo.没有。

Mangi Security Leader立刻放行。

（通讯被切断。）

（曼尼安保队长挥了挥手，示意打开通道。）

Mangi Security Leader走吧。你们可以出去了。

（狱警点点头，押着瓦西尔和沃夫加走上长长的通道。）

（瓦西尔知道那是通往地面荒野的道路。但听那些走狗的对话，这显然并非自由的前奏，而是死亡的序曲。）

Vasily我说，这是在往刑场去吗？

NikketaMhm.嗯哼。

Vasily……呼，总算是到时候了。

Wulfgar哈，你该不是怕了吧？第一领袖都没杀你，这个新市长比他聪明多了。

Vasily对我们这样的人来说，死亡是彻底尽职的证明。

Vasily只是有一点遗憾，无法亲眼看见我们的理想实现的那一天了。

Vasily不过，我从来没有怀疑过——它一定会实现的。

Wulfgar这些绿区和白区的老爷好像还是没搞懂，莫科什……我们的城市是一头倔脾气的母狮子。

Wulfgar两发子弹可以杀了你和我，但这位女士如果决定和人开战，一定会到最后都死死咬住对手。

Vasily没错，会有人继承我们的理想，走完我们没法走下去的路。

Vasily那么，我们两个老家伙，就只能尽量死得好看一点，才算完成最后的工作吧。

Wulfgar老天呀，和你还有那个指挥官合作，非但拿不到多少钱，甚至连到死都要加班吗？

（狱警始终如一的脚步声突然出现了些许的停顿，然后，最后一道门开了。）

Lentine?有什么话就快说，时候到了。

Wulfgar这个声音……是你？！好啊，你这贪得无厌的母狼……

Wulfgar你想来嘲笑我们？那你就看错对象了，莫科什的爷们知道该怎么死！

Wulfgar我，莫科什誓卫军军团长沃夫加，命令你们，命令你们这群走狗！杂种！开火！

Wulfgar开啊！听我的命令啊！

（没有回音，他的愤怒像是投入深湖的一粒石子。）

Vasily……沃夫加，现在我忽然想起一首曲子……你想听吗？

（寂静中，瓦西尔大声地唱起了那首萦绕在他脑海中的歌曲，或许他还是不希望留在世上的最后一句话是黄区粗口，而沃夫加下意识地加入了瓦西尔的歌唱。）

VasilyВы жертвою пали в борьбе роковой

VasilyЛюбви беззаветной к народу.

（悲壮的曲调回荡在旷野的上空，隐约的回响中，瓦西尔仿佛听见了无数莫科什人的声音。那是一股承受着相同的痛苦，燃烧着相同的愤怒，信仰着同一个未来的洪流。）

（瓦西尔从未如此刻般，觉得理想的未来距离自己如此得近，近到唾手可及，如同一场清醒着的美梦。）

WulfgarВы отдали всё, что могли, за него,

WulfgarЗа жизнь его, честь и свободу.

（砰。砰。两声枪响。）

（歌声戛然而止。）

（两具身体倒下的闷响。）

Kuro卡！卡了卡了！

（短暂的寂静后，卡萝一把扯掉伪装通讯终端的接线，将它丢到一边。她快跑两步，对着刚刚从通道阴影里走回来的米蒂尔抱怨起来。）

Kuro我勒个……原计划里有麻醉枪的部分吗？你这麻醉弹又是哪儿来的？

Mityl芙洛伦的药箱不是让我们顺来了？没想到在疗伤救人之前，先用上的是麻醉弹……

Kuro原来如此……个头啊，重点是你为什么要麻醉自己人！？

Mityl一时情不自禁……

Mityl他们这么投入，如果打断我有点不好意思，但不打断嘛……结束后他们可能会很尴尬。

Mityl在帷幕落下之前，一位优秀的演员当然要让戏剧顺利地落幕。

Mityl而且考虑到我们接下来的运输方式比较漠视人权，他们现在睡一下还比较方便。

Kuro……算，算你过关吧，通讯线路接回去了吗？

Mityl已经切回去了。

Mityl不过刚才那次拦截肯定会留下痕迹。

Mityl最多再过几分钟，曼尼安保就会发现通讯被人提前截断过。

Kuro那还等什么呢？赶紧跑路啊~

Mityl就不能是优雅撤离吗？

（妮基塔摘下狱警帽，快步走向二人。）

Nikketa安保交接记录我会进行处理，但这只能拖住她们一小会儿。

Nikketa接下来就交给你们了。从这里要返回地下水道，还需要经过一段城区……即使有这辆曼尼安保涂装的车掩护，也千万要小心。

Mityl你也是，要当心啊。这件事之后，现在的身份就用不了了吧？

Mityl我们艾莫号上再见啦，警长~

（妮基塔点点头，严肃的脸上闪过一丝暖意。）

Kuro好咯，把这两位英雄扛回据点吧。

Kuro刚才他们慷慨激昂的样子我都录下来了。嘿，等指挥官回来了，高低要请他逐帧品鉴一下。

Mityl明明刚刚一脸反对，果然你有在拍啊，不愧是鼠鼠我的最佳损友~

Mityl不过，我喜欢“等他回来”的说法。

（米蒂尔轻笑着扛起瓦西尔，与拖着沃夫加的卡萝一起向那辆停在阴影处的曼尼安保转运车走去。）

（然而，异变陡生。）

（六十秒后，就在她们即将触碰到车把手的瞬间，一股极其恐怖的冰冷杀意锁定了她们。）

（米蒂尔凭借着战术人形的极限反应，在卡萝惊恐的尖叫声中，以一个极其狼狈的姿态扭转身体堪堪避开。）

（那辆坚固的重型转运车的防弹车顶，竟被那道无形的“风”如切豆腐般齐齐削断，沉重的车顶轰然砸向一旁。）

Kuro我操这什么？！暴露了？？？

Kuro所谓“拖延一小会儿”是他妈以秒计数的吗！

Mityl好、好快——

（回应米蒂尔的是三代人形针修长的手指。）

（那根手指几乎已经点上了米蒂尔的心智核心，而米蒂尔毫不怀疑，她能像戳豆腐一样将她的核心完全贯穿。）

Kuro别碰她！

Mityl呜咕——卡萝！你先带人质……

（生死一瞬，米蒂尔第一时间强制超频开启了拟态图谱，金色的力场盾将瓦西尔死死护在身下，同时她竭尽全力扭动素体，试图规避针那必杀的一击。）

（在算力极限运作之下，米蒂尔勉强让胸口的核心避开了正面冲击。但代价是极其惨烈的——）

（一阵刺耳的金属断裂声响起。针顺势变招，修长的剑刃如同切开黄油一般，直接将米蒂尔的左腿和左臂齐根斩断！）

（失去重要平衡部件的米蒂尔闷哼一声，再也无法保持站立，重重地摔倒在血泊般的机油中。）

Kuro我操！我和你拼了！

（卡萝放下了沃夫加，怒不可遏地冲上去。）

（在绝对实力差距之下，不论正面迎战还是逃跑都没有太大的差别。更何况瓦西尔还在针的攻击范围中。）

（但是只要能够拖延她的步伐一小会儿，就有可能能够等到己方的支援。）

（针顺势抽出猩红色的剑刃，迎向卡萝，挥剑之势已然超脱了音障，化作人形也无法回避的残影——）

Kuro哇啊！不行不行，打不过！来人，快救驾啊！

（自知绝对无法闪避的卡萝，当机立断地将随身携带的直播无人机掷出，以壮烈牺牲的直播机勉强挡下了针的攻击。）

（然而下一击，已经避无可避。卡萝只能绝望地咬紧牙关，双手交叉死死护在头部，用自己的素体挡在米蒂尔和瓦西尔的身前。）

（呛！！！）

（轰音炸响，卡萝被推到一边，挡在眼前的是一个身披黑色斗篷，全力运转着拟态图谱的冷艳人形——）

（之前协助卡萝与米蒂尔潜入的六分仪及时赶到，堪堪架住了针的一剑。）

Sextans久疏问候，阁下。

Igla...……

（六分仪与另外两名人形迥异的气质，似乎让针感到了某种仿佛同源的熟稔感，令针不由短暂地收住了手中攻势。）

Igla……恐怕我并不认识你。

Sextans呵……阁下不认识我理所当然。毕竟——您连自己真正的主人都已不识得了，不是么？

Igla...……

Igla我真正的主人……

（六分仪的话语令针的表情出现了几分动摇，正在此时，正上方的天花板突然坍塌，扬起的尘灰顷刻间遮蔽了众人视野。）

（而几乎就在同一时刻，紧握的红色巨拳从天而降，重重地砸向针的位置。）

（针后跳避开，再次站稳时，属于OTs-14的轻纱已在高速移动中化为几缕黑雾，带着轻盈的杀机袭向针。）

（虽然双方的速度几乎相当，但似乎针的战斗方式更具优势，OTs-14的双拳和子弹被她一一拨开，自己身上却留下了针所削出的伤痕。）

（所幸六分仪迅速跃入战圈，给了OTs-14抓住空隙一拳将针击飞的机会。）

OTs-14抱歉，外围敌人增加了，比预计多花了点时间。

OTs-14你们尽快撤退，这里交给我和六分仪。

（卡萝无暇回应。她迅速拉扯起被打飞的米蒂尔和两个战俘，无比粗鲁地将他们全部丢进了车内。）

（自己则握着方向盘，驾驶着被迫敞篷的转运车疾速离去。）

Mityl这就是嘲笑绛雨的报应吗？这下手和脚都没了……

Kuro你可闭嘴吧，剩个脑袋让你和我拌嘴就是天意发力了！

Kuro喂喂，营救成功，现在前往6号据点，还有谁能来接应的路上帮忙看着点！再来一次敌袭我们就真他妈都没了！

Qiongjiu收到，三个路口后汇合，我们负责掩护你们。

Daiyan我和绛雨去吸引注意力，请尽快撤离。

Covenant Puzzle Ⅰ 契合的拼图·Ⅰ

MitylHehe, Commander, you're here! I made a lot of preparations for our little skit.嘿嘿，指挥官你来啦！关于这次的对戏，我做了不少准备哦。

MitylDon't worry, Commander. I'll recite a line, and then you just respond in a way that feels natural to you.指挥官不用紧张，你只需要根据我说出的话，做出最自然的反应就可以了。

MitylI'll pour my emotions into my acting and draw you into the scenario I've prepared~我会用情绪感染指挥官，带着你融入我所准备的戏剧情景～

MitylYour response will help me to understand just how well I understand the character.而根据你的反应，我就能判断我对角色的理解够不够充分。

MitylThink of it as helping me to gain acting experience! Alright, let's begin~嗯嗯，这算是我对扮演的一些经验吧！好，现在要开始咯～

CommanderI'll do my best to work with you.我会好好配合的。

MitylAhem... "I've always considered you my enemy."咳……“我一直觉得，你是我的敌人。”

CommanderSo this is the angle you're going for?居然是这种展开吗？

Mityl"So why have I fallen in love with my enemy? Oh, what a sinner I am!"“但我却爱上了我的敌人，这是如此罪孽深重！”

Commander...I have no idea what to say at this point.……我不知道该说什么。

MitylHm? It sounds like you're not really getting into the part. Does that mean I'm not putting enough emotion into it? Then how about this...哎呀？是我的情绪不够强烈吗？指挥官好像没有代入角色。试试这样好了……

Mityl"You and I know each other's hidden weaknesses, and how to inflict the deepest pain on each other."“你和我知道彼此的每个最隐秘的弱点，还知道如何使对方获得最深重的疼痛。”

Mityl"My mother doesn't know how, my sister doesn't know how, not even my best friend knows how."“我的母亲不知道，我的姐姐不知道，我最好的朋友也不知道。”

Mityl"But YOU know, Commander. You know where I am soft and vulnerable! You see right through me!"“但你知道，指挥官，你知道我所有的软弱，看透了我一切不堪！”

Mityl"Each encounter with each other and each clash of blades helps us understand each other better."“我们的每一次针锋相对，每一次短兵相接，都让你和我更加了解彼此。”

Mityl"I cannot imagine a more intimate connection than this, and I have often questioned the truth of my heart in all this."“我想象不出比这更深厚的链接，我的心也时常面临叩问。”

Mityl"After pondering the matter over and over again, I am left with only one conclusion—"“经过成百上千次的思考、推翻重来与再思考，我不得不承认——”

Mityl"Which is that my greatest foe is also my greatest love... Commander."“真相就是我爱上了我最大的敌人……指挥官。”

CommanderThat's... a really moving confession.真是……令人动容的告白。

MitylOooh, I like the look on your face. It looks like you really understand how the character feels!指挥官的表情不错，你好像能理解这个角色中包含的情感了！

CommanderThat's because your performance moved me.因为你的表演能够打动我。

MitylAlright, after seeing the look on your face, I think I know the kind of impression this character should make.好啦，我已经从指挥官刚才的表情中，理解到这个角色应该有的形象了。

MitylHow do you feel, Commander? Is there anything you'd like to say about this character?指挥官的感觉怎么样？对于这样的角色有什么想说的吗？

CommanderWell, that performance just now was really captivating, but falling in love with the enemy... Yeah, that's a little hard to picture.刚刚的表演带动我沉浸在了故事里，但爱上敌人……总归还是有些难以想象。

MitylA lot of things in dramas are fake or exaggerated. You know how writers love throwing in all kinds of ridiculous stuff to tug at the audience's heartstrings.戏剧情节有很多夸张和虚构的地方，编剧们为了调动观众情绪，不管多么荒诞离奇的故事都写得出来。

MitylHowever, the feeling they want to convey is real—the feeling of wanting to be with your beloved until the very end, regardless of your circumstances.但想要传达的感情却是真的——那就是无论各自处于怎样的立场，相爱的人将在最终走到一起。

MitylIt's kind of like... like how we were separated from you for a while, but we all found our way back to your side in the end.就像是……虽然暂时和指挥官分别，但大家最终都会回到你的身边一样。

CommanderI think I understand a little better now. Thanks for the show of support, Mityl.我大概明白一些了，谢谢你的鼓励，米蒂尔。

Covenant Puzzle Ⅱ 契合的拼图·Ⅱ

MitylCommander, we did the whole foe romance thing last time, so we're going to try the most classic couple type ever—the bickering lovers!指挥官，上次我们扮演的是互相针对又互相吸引的情侣，而这次我们要尝试历史最悠久的情侣模式——欢喜冤家啦！

CommanderBickering lovers?欢喜冤家？

MitylYou know, the kind who keep arguing all the time but actually care very deeply for each other. They just have a hard time spitting it out because they're shy.就是看起来不对付，但其实非常在乎彼此，只是都很害羞，不太擅长表达。

MitylTheir relationship is kind of like "The $1 Doxy and the Twin-Tailed Hoxy" or "Muralla Ultima and the Little Monster" from a certain popular mobile game.用网络上某些娱乐社区的流行语来说的话，就是“没头脑和不高兴”“全身上下最硬的就是嘴”了。

CommanderSounds like a pretty challenging relationship to convey.听起来很有难度……

MitylIt'll be fine, Commander. All you need to do is banter like your life depends on it! Shall we give it a try?没关系的，指挥官记住一点，只需要嘴硬就可以完成对戏！我们来试试看吧？

CommanderSure.好。

MitylNow how should I begin... What's the best opening line to use on you? Mmm~ Alright, let's do this...让我想想怎么开始哦，要从哪里对指挥官“嘴硬”呢？嗯嗯～那就先这样……

Mityl"Why do you dress like that all the time? It doesn't convey the kind of presence you should have."“你平时都是些什么打扮，完全展现不出该有的气质。”

Mityl"At this rate, nobody's going to pay attention to you. Would it kill you to pay more attention to your looks?"“这样下去根本不会有人关注你啦，多在意一下自己的外表行不行？”

CommanderHm? Is there a problem with this outfit? It's pretty good for my daily activities.嗯？我这身不好看吗？活动起来挺方便的。

MitylPssssst, Commander, stay in character! Bantz, remember? Keep the bantz going!指挥官，出戏啦！要嘴硬，嘴硬！

CommanderUh, okay, I'll give it a try.好，我试试。

Commander...But you pay attention to me, don't you, Mityl? Otherwise how would you know what I usually wear?……但是米蒂尔，你不就在关注我吗，不然怎么知道我是什么打扮？

Mityl"W-What did you say? I, I, it's not like I've been staring at you or anything! You must be mistaken! And besides... how would you know I'm looking at you if you weren't looking at me too?"“什、什么！我、我我我才没有一直盯着你呢！是你看错了！而且……你没看我的话又怎么知道我在看你。”

Commander...Getting pretty strong Makiatto vibes here.……这语气有点像在模仿玛奇朵呢。

Mityl"Hmph! In other words... You've been peeping at me all this time, haven't you? That-that's not enough to move me! Hurry up and get changed, I won't let you leave the house dressed like that!"“哼，所以说……我看明明就是你在偷看我吧？我、我才不会被你这种话说动！赶紧去换衣服啦，穿成这样出门可不行！”

CommanderMityl, are you saying you want to go out with me? You say you don't care about me, yet you keep insisting that I should look good beside you.米蒂尔在邀请我和你一起出门吗？说着不在意我，却表现得这么主动。

MitylBahahaha, this is too good! Commander, that was a great line back there~哈哈哈，我忍不住了！指挥官的反应太有趣了～

Commander...Did I say something wrong?……我说错什么了吗？

MitylNo, not at all. You were just responding naturally, which was fine. As for me, I was kind of at a loss for how to respond to that.那倒是没有，指挥官是按照自己的习惯做出反应的，反而是我，有点不知道该怎么应对。

MitylYou're always so kind and sincere, but sometimes you show that mischievous side of yourself.明明平时都是一副认真温和的模样，但有时，指挥官却会表现出一点点坏。

MitylLike how "poor little Mityl became the Commander's plaything" just now.刚才的对戏就是这样，“可怜的米蒂尔，被指挥官玩弄于股掌之中”的感觉。

Commander...I'm sorry, I went too far.……是我说得太过分了。

MitylNo, no, not at all. It's not your fault, I just couldn't come up with a good response on the spot.没有没有，这不是指挥官的问题，是我有点应对不过来了。

MitylIt's hard to stay calm when you're acting opposite someone you care about, after all~当面对在意的人时，即使是演戏，也很难完全保持平常心呢，指挥官～

Covenant Puzzle Ⅲ 契合的拼图·Ⅲ

MitylCommander, we'll be playing a normal couple this time. There shouldn't be any problems like before!指挥官，我们这次对戏是表演正常的情侣，不会像之前那样出问题了！

MitylHehe, I feel more confident about staying by your side from now on.嘿嘿……有了这几次的配合，我对以后待在指挥官身边也多了一点自信。

CommanderFrom now on?以后？

MitylUh, never mind that! I was just talking to myself, getting into character, that sort of thing. Nothing you should worry about!啊……没什么！我刚刚是在自言自语，入戏前的小习惯而已，没错，小习惯！

MitylAhem! Get ready, Commander! We're about to begin!咳咳，好了指挥官，我要开始了！

CommanderWhat kind of weird scenario will it be this time...不知道这次又会扮演什么奇特的情景。

Mityl"I did it, Commander! I travelled the length of the Yellow Zones to find you!"“我做到了，指挥官，一个天大的好消息，我穿越了黄区，只为了寻找你！”

Mityl"I have important news for you, the person dearest to my heart."“我必须把这个消息分享给你，分享给我最在意的人。”

CommanderSo you're looking for me?所以你是来找我的？

Mityl"Yes. I was cornered by the enemy earlier and everyone thought I was finished. They believed I would be defeated and relegated to the scrapyard of history."“是的，之前被敌人困住的时候，所有人都以为我完了，我会在战斗中落败，被扫入垃圾堆。”

Mityl"But I knew that wasn't going to happen. Do you know why? Because I could feel you by my side throughout it all. You supported me and gave me the courage to keep fighting."“但我知道我不会，你知道为什么吗？因为我能感觉到，指挥官一直站在我身边。你在支持我，给了我继续战斗的勇气。”

Mityl"I don't know how I'd have done it without you. You're that important and irreplaceable to me."“我不敢想象，没有你我要怎样完成这一切。你是如此重要，没有任何人可以替代。”

CommanderMityl, you're the one who did all that. This victory is all yours.米蒂尔，完成这一切的是你，你该把这份胜利成果留给自己。

Mityl"No, I want to share it with you. Not just this victory, but all of me!"“不，我想要和你分享，不只是胜利，还包括我的一切！”

Mityl"I don't like being rejected, so when I show you and offer you my beating heart, I'm hoping that you'll accept it."“我不喜欢善解人意的拒绝，当我把跳动的心给你看，送给你时，最期待的就是你能收下它。”

CommanderI...我……

Mityl"So will you spend forever with me, Commander?"“和我永远在一起，好吗？指挥官。”

Mityl"This heart, born from the void inside me, came into existence because of you. It is yours. It will always be yours."“这颗心，这颗从空洞里长出的心，是因你而出现的。它就是属于你的，从一开始就是。”

Commander...Then I will accept it, and cherish it dearly.……那我收下了，我会善待它的。

MitylCUT! You did great, Commander! I was this close to crying like humans do~Cut！这次指挥官演得很好哦，我甚至一度感动到要像人类那样流泪～

CommanderIt was pretty moving... After all, it was based on your own experiences, wasn't it?确实挺动人的……毕竟，这就是米蒂尔的亲身经历吧？

MitylHehe, well, I tried to put in some scenes from my life. Method acting and all that, you know?嘿嘿，我融入了一些现实中的桥段，艺术源于生活嘛。

MitylBut the most important thing is that you accepted my feelings in that performance... because it gave me the answer I was looking for.但最重要的是，指挥官在扮演中接受了我的感情……让我得到了想要的答案。

MitylBut! Butbut! I really WILL cry if you say that promise was just part of the show!不过不过，要是指挥官说什么戏里面的承诺不能当真，我可是会哭给你看的哦！

CommanderIs crying part of the act too?你的哭也是扮演的一部分吧？

MitylGot it in one! Still, any Doll would give everything they had to stay by your side.被看穿了！不过为了能待在指挥官身边，就算是人形也会使出浑身解数的。

MitylIt's particularly true for me, because I think I can only express how I truly feel about you through acting.特别是对于我来说，或许只有在扮演时才能表达出对指挥官的真心。

MitylSo... the feelings I showed you just now? They all came from the heart, Commander.所以……刚才那些情感也都是真的哦，指挥官。

Covenant Puzzle Ⅳ 契合的拼图·Ⅳ

MitylCommander, I need to tell you something. I hope you don't get mad when you hear it.指挥官，有件事我必须向你坦白，希望你不要生气。

CommanderWhat is it? Go ahead, I'm listening.怎么了？说吧。

MitylPromise me you won't get mad~先答应我不会生气吧～

CommanderThat would depend on how bad it is.这要看事情的严重程度。

MitylAw, you're just like how you were in Griffin, never compromising on your principles no matter what.哎呀，指挥官还是和格里芬时期一样，不管做什么，都会坚守原则和立场。

MitylThe truth is... You know how I've been bugging you to practice acting with me recently? There was something I didn't tell you about that.其实是……我这段时间缠着你，让你和我对戏时，隐瞒了一点小心思。

CommanderAre you talking about how you wanted to be more confident when spending time with me?是指想待在我身边时多一点自信的事情吗？

MitylWha— So you DID remember! I only let it slip once!果、果然指挥官都记得，那是我一时说漏了嘴！

MitylWell, it started after I saw a "Best Love Scenes" video reel on a TV and movie forum. It contained lots of examples of lovers from classic movies.起因是……我在影视论坛上看到了“最佳情人角色排行榜”，里面罗列了许多经典电影的情侣相处方式。

MitylWhether they were childhood sweethearts, falling in love at first sight, bickering lovers or just simple soulmates... I was totally fascinated by how they acted around each other!从两小无猜到一见钟情，从欢喜冤家到心心相印……那些情侣相处的方式，我觉得好有趣！

MitylAfter that, I couldn't help but think: what if YOU were my partner, Commander?然后我就不由地想，如果其中的情侣是我和指挥官，会是什么情况？

MitylCould I be your sweetheart, your crush, your lover, your best friend, your greatest ally?我能做好指挥官的情人、爱人、恋人、最好的朋友和最真挚的依靠吗？

MitylCould I perfectly accompany you in every single situation you might experience and help you fight the hardest battles in your life?我能在指挥官之后所需要经历的所有场合，都完美陪伴指挥官，帮助指挥官完成最困难的任务吗？

MitylI couldn't find the answer just by simulating scenarios in my neural cloud, so I decided to get you to help me with my act.光是在心智里模拟，根本就得不到答案。于是，我向你发起了“对戏”的邀约。

MitylI'm glad you indulged my selfish request, Commander!指挥官，很感谢你答应了我的任性！

CommanderI won't get mad about stuff like that, Mityl. After all, this isn't the first time you've done weird things when the mood struck you...这种事我不会生气的，而且是米蒂尔，心血来潮做些怪事也不是第一次了。

MitylHehehe, maybe that's just my Jerry nature shining through~嘿嘿嘿，或许这也是鼠鼠的特性之一吧～

MitylAlso, while it was just acting, I put a lot of my feelings into those lines I was delivering.另外，虽然在排练时，我念的都是台词，但也悄悄放进了许多真实的想法。

MitylThat's because I wanted to know what your truest response to me would be.因为我想知道，指挥官面对我的心，最不加掩饰、最明确的反应是怎样的。

CommanderI have to say, I felt them. Your feelings definitely reached me.我感觉到了，你的感情……确实传达给了我。

MitylThere's a line from a movie I like; "Every life is a puzzle, and we're waiting for someone else to be our missing piece."“每个人的人生都是一块拼图，上面充满缺口，等待着另一个人去填满。”这是我很喜欢的电影台词。

MitylSome people's puzzles are simple and they can find their missing pieces easily. But some people have very complicated lives.有些人的拼图缺口很简单，很容易找到另一半，有些人的却很复杂。

MitylAs for me, I don't think I even had a puzzle to begin with. There was a defect in my neural protocols...而我，在一开始或许连拼图本身都不存在。作为人形，我的心智协议有一些缺陷……

MitylSo I imitated others to find "myself" in their images. And then, I was lucky enough to meet you, Commander.我模仿其他人，从大家的影子里，看到了“自我”，然后又幸运地遇到指挥官。

MitylI'm sure that I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you.我能肯定，如果没有指挥官的话，一定没有现在的我。

MitylI don't think it would be too far-fetched to say that "Mityl was born when I saw you."用一句诗意的话来说，那就是——“当你的双眼注视时，米蒂尔就存在了。”

CommanderI might have helped a bit... But you're the one who grew, Mityl.我或许起到了一些作用……但这终究是你的成长，米蒂尔。

CommanderThat said, I'm very glad I managed to help you out.当然，我很开心能在这个过程中帮到你。

MitylHehehe, you're too humble, Commander. That being the case, I have only one request~嘿嘿嘿，指挥官还是太谦虚了，那么对于这样的指挥官，我只有一个请求～

MitylCommander, let me stay by your side more often from now on! I want to be with you no matter where you go!指挥官，让我能更多地待在你身边吧，无论去什么地方，我都要陪着你一起！

Collection Overview 1 收藏展示1

MitylCommander, Commander! Want to do some improvisations with me?指挥官指挥官，你想和我一起进行即兴演出吗？

MitylI've been experimenting with playing different kinds of characters from a movie recently. It made me realize I need a performance partner.我最近在试着扮演电影中不同类型的角色，想要找人和我对戏。

MitylIt's kind of boring to do it by myself, but I'm sure I could get into the right headspace for it if you were my partner!一个人的话有点无聊，但如果有指挥官做对手的话，就能更好地进入状态了！

MitylSo, want to give it a shot, Commander?所以指挥官想要试试吗？

Use {0}消耗{0}

Let's do it next time.下次再看吧。

MitylThat's great, Commander! Let's get started right now!太好了指挥官！那就赶快开始吧！

MitylAwww, so you're busy? Okay then, I'll wait till you're free~哎呀，指挥官看来在忙……那我等指挥官有时间再来吧～

Kitchen Chat 1 厨房闲谈1

MitylThis dish looks extra yummy. Come give it a try, Commander!这次的料理好像特别棒，指挥官快尝尝！

A mellow richness lingers between the lips and teeth, its rapturous aftertaste long and enduring.醇厚的滋味在唇齿间缱绻，幸福的余韵悠长，经久不散。

MitylMhm~ Seeing you happy makes me happy too!嗯嗯～看到指挥官的幸福表情，我也好幸福！

CommanderThis is top notch stuff!绝佳上品！

CommanderThe color, fragrance and taste are all excellent.不管是色泽、气味还是味道，都非常不错。

The deep aroma coils around the tongue, wrapping me in a cloud of tenderness.浓郁的香气萦绕舌尖，仿佛坠入温柔的云端。

Kitchen Chat 2 厨房闲谈2

MitylI followed the recipe every step of the way, it should be fine.全部都是按照食谱做的，肯定没问题吧。

A mellow richness lingers between the lips and teeth, its rapturous aftertaste long and enduring.醇厚的滋味在唇齿间缱绻，幸福的余韵悠长，经久不散。

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

MitylBut you don't seem as pleased with it as I expected...但指挥官脸上的幸福程度，好像没有那么强烈……

A good meal.不错的一餐。

It's very good as it is.已经很好了。

CommanderIt was a decent meal.也是很不错的一餐。

MitylI'll keep doing my best to make delicious food for you, Commander!我下次会继续努力，做出更好吃的饭菜给指挥官！

CommanderKeep at it!再接再厉！

CommanderI know you worked hard to get this far, Mityl.能做到这个程度，米蒂尔已经很努力了。

The deep aroma coils around the tongue, wrapping me in a cloud of tenderness.浓郁的香气萦绕舌尖，仿佛坠入温柔的云端。

Kitchen Chat 3 厨房闲谈3

MitylNo way... Is it supposed to be this color? Ahhh, I messed up!不、不会吧？这个颜色这个形状这个味道……肯定是搞砸了！

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

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

MitylYour face looks like you just watched a box office flop... ahaha...指挥官的表情像是刚刚看完一部烂片……啊哈哈……

The creativity deserves recognition.创意值得肯定。

Could be better.有待改进。

CommanderIt looks average, but your research and practice towards cooking deserves recognition.虽然卖相一般，但对食谱的钻研和创新值得肯定。

MitylMhm! I'll work hard to improve myself!嗯嗯！我会按照指挥官的反馈努力改进！

CommanderKeep trying!继续加油！

CommanderThe taste could use some improvement, but it's still a unique culinary experience.味道有待改进，但也不失为一次奇妙的用餐体验。

My once-keen sense of taste slowly loses its bearings amid this strange experience.昔日敏锐的味觉在此刻陌生的体验中逐渐迷失了方向。

Lobby Group Chat 1 休息室群聊1

SextansMay I ask why you called me out here, my ladies?所以，阁下把我们叫到此处的目的是？

MitylHehe, congratulations, you two... I mean, you three. You're going to be playing major roles in my original play, "Elmo's Winter"!哼哼，恭喜二位……啊不三位，即将在我的原创年度剧本《艾莫之冬》中扮演重要角色！

PhaetusaWe're going to be actresses? Wow~ That's one of humanity's eight great arts, right? I'm in—演戏？哇哦~是人类八大艺术之一吗？我加入——

PhaetusaWait a minute! I never agreed to this! Also, why us?等等！我可没有答应过，再说为什么是我们？

MitylThat's because the three of you are perfect for the characters in the script~因为三位完全符合我剧本中的角色设定~

MitylFor instance, Phaetusa and Sweeper will be playing an heiress with multiple personalities, each of whom love different people. One's a hardened veteran vampire hunter, while the other is a gorgeous vampire prince!比如，翡图萨和清道夫在剧本中的角色是多重人格的大小姐，她的表里人格分别爱上了不同的人，一个是饱经风霜的吸血鬼猎人，另一个则是昼伏夜出的华丽血族王子！

MitylWho else could better fill the role than you ladies?请问！艾莫号上有谁比二位更适合大小姐的这个角色吗？

PhaetusaYou have a point~ Strictly speaking, we don't have multiple personalities, but it looks similar enough to the human definition of multiple personalities... But then what about Sextans?好像是哦~虽然我们不是严格意义的多重人格，但外在表现和人类定义的“多重人格”很像……那六分仪呢？

MitylGiven her looks, outfit and personality... clearly she's going to be the gorgeous vampire prince~从她的气质、长相、衣着打扮来看……当然是华丽的血族啦~

PhaetusaHah? Doesn't she look more like the vampire hunter?哈？她这个样子……不更像吸血鬼猎人吗？

MitylBut the truth is, the vampire prince is in love with the vampire hunter!但是，血族王子其实深深地爱着吸血鬼猎人！

PhaetusaCould you get any more cliched than that?狗血，俗套。

PhaetusaWow, you've already analyzed the script that deeply? Looks like you're really into it!唔哇，小黑已在深入理解剧本了吗？很积极呢！

PhaetusaQuiet you! Stop reading my neural cloud!胡说八道别乱读我的心智！

MitylMhm, that's right~ That's the kind of feuding personality action I'm gunning for!嗯，对对，就是这样~已经很有左右脑互搏的感觉了！

SextansLame, I'll pass.无聊，恕我拒绝。

MitylAw, don't go, don't you even want to know who's playing the vampire hunter?诶，别走呀，你们难道不知道，吸血鬼猎人是谁来演吗？

SextansYou're the only one who hasn't been assigned a role yet, am I wrong?这里唯一还没分配角色的，只有阁下了吧？

MitylHehe, nope, it's not me. It's the Commander. He already said yes~哼哼，可不是我，而是指挥官哦，指挥官已经答应我了~

PhaetusaAhhhhhh—Pick me! Pick me! I want to be the personality that loves the hunter!啊——那我要演，我要演爱上猎人的那个人格！

PhaetusaHow can you just make that decision on your own, Phaetusa?! Ahem, I mean, if I could pick my role, I wouldn't mind acting beside her...翡图萨，你怎么擅自决定！咳……我是说如果可以让我先选角色的话，陪着演一下也不是不可以……

Sextans...Very well, I will take part.……可以，我演。

MitylAhhh... Seeing everyone's eagerness is so touching...呜呜……看到大家都那么有热情我真的很感动……

PhaetusaUm... But if everyone loves the Commander, then who will the Commander pick in the end?唔……不过，这么多人都爱指挥官的话，指挥官最后选了谁呀？

MitylWell, according to the character background, the hunter likes ordinary girls, but neither the MPD heiress or the vampire prince are ordinary girls.是这样的，按照设定猎人这个角色喜欢普通人，但无论是双重人格大小姐还是血族王子都太不普通了。

MitylSo in the end Miss MPD and the vampire prince end up together while the vampire hunter gets married to an ordinary girl~所以最后双重人格大小姐和血族王子幸福地走在一起，猎人就回老家和普通人结婚啦~

PhaetusaWhat? No! I want a script rewrite!什么？我不同意！我要改剧本！

Sextans...So just what kind of role will you be playing, my lady?……说了半天，阁下的角色是？

MitylMe? Oh, I'm just an unimportant, perfectly ordinary girl~我啊？我的角色只是一个不重要的普·通·人罢了~嘿嘿！

Fashion Show 时装秀

MitylWhich looks better on me, the azure-blue belt or the sapphire-blue belt?天青色腰带和宝石蓝腰带哪个更好看呢？

MitylCommander, I've been watching fashion shows in the White Zones. The clothing designs there are simply amazing.指挥官，我最近在关注白区的时装秀，里面有些设计太有趣了。

Anything caught your eye?有你喜欢的吗？

I don't get it...我不太了解……

MitylThe most recent show has a retro-classical theme and the designers took inspiration from old movies.这次的主题是复古潮流，设计师们从以前的老电影里寻找灵感。

MitylOne of them is a white dress inspired by the movie "Broken Bridge Dream". However, they made lots of elaborate alterations and additions to the accessories and patterns.有一条珍珠白的礼裙源于《断桥残梦》，在细节配饰和花纹上做了不少精细的改动。

MitylAh, how exciting~ Seeing dresses from old movies in a fashion show is like giving them a new lease of life~老电影的服装在时装秀上如获新生，真令人振奋~

MitylThat's alright, I can explain anything you don't know.没关系，指挥官哪里不明白，我可以讲给你听。

MitylHehehe, I've read up on all the outfits for the most recent fashion show, so feel free to ask me anything, Commander!嘿嘿嘿，这次时装周的所有相关内容我都做了功课，指挥官尽管问吧！

Joint Performance 合作表演

MitylFaye asked me to take part in a Monsoon Squad performance. I'm really excited about this, I've never done an eastern-style production before~绯来邀请我参加季风乐队的演出，真期待，我还没有尝试过东方风格的舞台剧呢～

MitylBut before that, I need to watch some traditional plays to familiarize myself with them.不过在这之前，也得看看一些传统戏剧作为积累。

What are you watching?要看些什么？

Are the rehearsals tiring?排练累不累？

MitylWell, I need to start with the classics, like "Madam White Snake" and "Butterfly Lovers"...首先是经典的剧目，比如《白蛇传》《梁山伯与祝英台》……

MitylJiangyu and Faye also made some recommendations of their own, but I don't know if I have the time to watch them too...绛雨和绯还推荐了一些其他题材的，虽然我都想看一遍，但不知道时间够不够……

MitylFeel free to join me anytime if you're interested. I'll be more motivated with you watching them beside me!指挥官要是有兴趣也可以随时来找我哦，有指挥官陪着的话，我会更有干劲的！

MitylEasy enough for me! Although, I need to practice more to match everyone's pace.对我来说游刃有余啦！只不过要配合好大家的节奏还需要多多练习。

MitylLike Daiyan said, "The feelings music conveys are often truer and more accurate."像是黛烟所说的，“音乐所传达的感情，往往更加真挚、更加明确。”

MitylHehe~ I think I'm beginning to understand what that means!哼哼～我已经渐渐能理解这种感觉了！

Dorm Dialogue 1 宿舍对话1

MitylThe Elmo's so big and I keep getting lost in it. Fortunately, I can always find your location~艾莫号的空间太大，总是一不小心就会让人迷路呢。不过不过，有指挥官在的地方，我每次都找得到～

Mityl"Time to reveal my newest invention, Caretaker! Are you looking forward to it? Are you, huh?" That's right, my latest invention is my impression act that I'm putting on for you!“我的新发明即将闪亮登场了饲养员！期不期待？期不期待？”没错，新发明就是我给指挥官表演的模仿秀！

Tidying Up 1 整理清扫1

BastiDarling~Darling~你终于来找我了吗？

Basti人家可是待在冷冰冰的走廊里，等了Darling好久呢……

Commander声音和语气确实很像，简直可以以假乱真了。

Commander要不是看到了终端上的消息，我可能真的会被你骗过去——是吧，米蒂尔？

Mityl哎呀，指挥官怎么这样，都不肯稍微配合我一下下~

Commander所以，米蒂尔根本就没有迷路，对吧？

Mityl嘿嘿~虽然艾莫号的确很大，但我已经很熟悉了，所以不会迷路啦~

Mityl我只是觉得，在这么美好的下午，很适合上演一场充满戏剧性的邂逅——

Mityl简单来说，是我想见指挥官啦！

Commander嗯……我大概感受到米蒂尔的心意了。

Mityl是吗？这么一看，我的计划还是很成功的嘛~

Commander这种计划还是少来比较好……

Mityl嗯？什么什么？米蒂尔听不到哟~

Tidying Up 2 整理清扫2

Mityl嘘！指挥官，快过来啦！我在这里~

Commander如果要躲开贝丝蒂的话……衣装间可不是什么好的选择。

Mityl嘻嘻，最危险的地方就是最安全的地方嘛~

Mityl而且事实证明，我的选择果然没有错，这里很适合捉捕目标呢！

Commander嗯？捉捕什么……

Mityl3, 2, 1—3、2、1——

Mityl诶嘿，捉到了！现在指挥官逃不掉咯！

Commander……等一下，米蒂尔，怎么突然抱过来了……

Commander难道说……其实我才是你们的目标？

Mityl是的是的，我和贝丝蒂的游戏规则是——“谁先捉到指挥官，谁就是赢家”哟！

Mityl怎么样，成功骗到指挥官了吗？

Commander……确实有种中了圈套的感觉。

Mityl嘻嘻，抱歉啦！我会用奖励好好补偿指挥官的~

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1Originally known as P90, she enjoyed group activities, and frequently imitated the speech and behavior of those around her. When Griffin was reorganized, she similarly imitated the other Dolls, heading for the Green Zone to chase her own dreams. In a twist of fate, she came into contact with the world of performing arts and began performing regularly with Green Zone theatre troupes. Experiencing this world kindled a love of film in P90, and as luck would have it, she became a double for the star actress Lefiya. Through her uncanny mimicry and polished performances, she sent Lefiya's reputation soaring, catapulting the actress to stardom. But it was not to last. When the paparazzi finally exposed her as Lefiya's double, Lefiya cast her aside to protect her own standing. Faced with this betrayal from a so-called friend, P90 simply turned away, leaving Lefiya behind without a second thought. Alone once more, P90 happened upon MDR, who was livestreaming. She now went by "Kuro", the name she used during her time in Project Neural Cloud. Kuro invited P90 to move in with her, and the pair soon found themselves getting up to all sorts of shenanigans on stream together. P90 was swiftly swept up in Kuro's passion and energy, and eagerly embraced this "career change". To commemorate this fresh new beginning, P90 named herself "Mityl", after a character from a fairy tale she liked. After the incident at Lviv, Mityl managed to contact CZ75, who was now known as "Faye". She learned through her that the Commander was in the Yellow Zone. Together with Kuro, she set off to meet up with the Commander. Although a "void" had always lurked in Mityl's neural cloud, years of mimicking others gradually made up for what was missing. But there was something that was hers, and hers alone. Something that was no act of mimicry: Her love for the Commander. As long as she held onto this feeling as her anchor, the "void" could never consume her. "Sure, everyone likes the Commander. But me? I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon. My love for the Commander is mine and mine alone~"原烙印代号为P90，喜欢集体活动，总是扮演他人的行为和说话方式。格里芬重组时，模仿其他人形前往绿区追梦。在阴差阳错中，接触了表演艺术，频繁参与绿区的剧团表演。 剧团的演出经历让P90迷上了电影，并在巧合之下，成为了明星莱菲娅的替身演员。 P90依靠其惟妙惟肖的模仿和精湛的演技，使莱菲娅声名大振，一跃成为知名明星。 但好景不长，P90作为替身演员一事最终被狗仔队发现，莱菲娅为保住自身地位，选择抛弃她。面对友人的背叛，P90也毫不犹豫地抽身离开。 再次孤身一人后，P90偶然发现了正在直播的MDR，她选用了云图时期的名字“卡萝”作为自己目前的名字。 卡萝邀请P90同住，并一起在直播节目中整活。P90很快被卡萝的热情和活力所感染，十分良好地接受了自己的“新工作”。为了纪念新生活，P90为自己取名为米蒂尔，源于她喜欢的童话故事。 利沃夫事件后，米蒂尔与更名为绯的CZ75取得联系，获得了指挥官在黄区的消息。米蒂尔决定与卡萝一同动身前往，和指挥官重逢。 尽管米蒂尔的心智中一直存在着“空洞”，但在长年累月对他人的模仿后，“空洞”造成的影响不断被弥补。 对指挥官的喜爱是米蒂尔不以模仿他人为出发点的、只属于自己的独一无二的感情。只要以这份感情为锚点，“空洞”就无法影响她、吞噬她。 “虽然大家都喜欢指挥官，但我的喜欢可不是跟风哦。对指挥官的喜爱可是独一无二的~”

Record 2Mityl hums quietly to herself as she adjusts her hair and walks onto the crew deck, full of anticipation. Ever since Mityl boarded the Elmo, observing and imitating the other Dolls has become an essential part of her daily routine. "That Doll doing push-ups over there must be Krolik. But is it just me, or is she not doing standard push-ups? Wow, she's doing two-finger push-ups! That's amazing!" Mityl unconsciously assumes the position and begins copying Krolik's calisthenics. "This is pretty tough, even for a Doll... Hup! I can do it! I got through all that training back in Griffin, no matter how tough it got!" After imitating Krolik for a few reps, Mityl feels like she's grasped the essence of her movements. She stands back up, dusts off her hands, and carries on exploring the crew deck. "Vepley's dance moves are the cutie-type, aren't they? But I keep sensing that there's danger hidden inside the cuteness, like these aren't normal dances at all. They're kinda difficult to copy, too..." Outside the glass-walled practice room, Mityl finds her eye drawn to Vepley's dancing and all its personal flair. "The last time I danced like this, I was at a dance party with the troupe..." However, her own peculiar style makes her dancing feel more like a street performer, rather than an idol shining brightly on stage. Mityl decides not to distract Vepley from her dancing and chooses to instead explore the crew deck further. "May I inquire as to your business, ma'am?" Mityl is walking down the corridor when Sextans speaks calmly from behind her. She is sitting on a chair beside the bed, a spot from which she could see Mityl when she was observing Vepley earlier. "If it isn't Sextans! Your style of discourse is most unique~" "It would seem you are engaged in imitating the speech and actions of others... Might there be some special significance to doing so?" "It helps me get closer to everyone~ And there are all sorts of other reasons besides..." There were many, so Mityl picked the easiest one to explain to Sextans. Just then, a worried voice interrupts her thoughts. "Is this... crew deck? Not, ops room." Helena looks around nervously as she walks down the corridor. "Helena, over here!" Helena runs over as she hears Mityl's warm voice. "Lots and lots of rooms. Can't find, Commander." "You seek the Commander," Sextans says. Her voice is calm, but cold. Helena seems a little afraid of Sextans; she shrinks back a small step and gives a timid nod. "Don't be scared, Helena. Big Sis will dance for you, okay?" In order to calm Helena down, Mityl breaks into the distinctive dance moves she picked up from Vepley. "Ohhhhh! It's Vepley, just like her! Mityl, awesome!" "...It seems it has some use when it comes to handling children," Sextans says as she watches all this. Several minutes later, the Dolls escort Helena to the ops room. As she watches the Commander lead Helena away, Mityl waves goodbye to her and the latter smiles happily. "It would seem... your mimicry does have its uses, in the right situation." Next to her, Sextans' voice no longer sounds quite so cold. "Of course! Mimicry is number one!" Though Sextans had tacked on a qualifier to her approval, Mityl knew she'd already won her over. Actions spoke louder than words, after all.米蒂尔小声哼着歌，理了理发型，充满期待地走进活动层。 自从来到艾莫号上后，观察并模仿其他成员的行为，已经成为了她每日的必修课。 “那位在做俯卧撑的，是克罗丽科吧。姿势好像和标准俯卧撑不太一样？哇！是用两根手指抵在地面上呀！好特别！” 米蒂尔不自觉地也俯下身，模仿克罗丽科的方式进行锻炼。 “即使作为人形，这个姿态难度也有些高了……嘿咻！我可以的！以前在格里芬，不管多难的训练我都能搞定！” 跟做了好几个俯卧撑后，米蒂尔自觉已经掌握了精髓。她站起身拍拍手，继续在偌大的活动层中探索。 “维普蕾的舞步是可爱风吗？但总感觉可爱中蕴含着危险，和普通的舞蹈不太一样呢。模仿起来有些困难……” 在满是玻璃的训练房外，米蒂尔又被维普蕾充满个人色彩的舞蹈所吸引。 “上一次这样跳舞，还是和剧团一同参加舞会……” 不过，气质更偏古灵精怪的她，舞姿带给人的感觉更像是个街头艺人，而非舞台上活力四射的偶像。 没有打扰沉浸在舞蹈中的维普蕾，米蒂尔继续探索活动层。 “阁下是在做什么？”正当米蒂尔经过走廊时，身后传来了六分仪沉稳的声音。 她正坐在床边的椅子上，而从那个角度能看到米蒂尔刚才对维普蕾的模仿。 “这不是六分仪吗？嗯嗯，你的说话方式很独特呢～” “看起来，阁下是在模仿别人的说话和行为……有什么特别的含义吗？” “可以拉近和大家的距离啦～其他的还有各种各样……”含义有很多，米蒂尔选了一个最容易理解的告诉六分仪。 就在这个时候，一阵急切的呼唤声打断了她的思考。 “这是……活动层？不是，指挥室。” 海伦娜来到走廊上，不安地朝四周张望。 “海伦娜，这里这里！”听到米蒂尔热情的呼喊，海伦娜连忙跑了过来。 “房间，好大，好多。指挥官，找不到。” “你要找指挥官？”六分仪说，她的声线很清冷。 海伦娜似乎有点怕六分仪，她小小地后退了一步，怯怯地点头。 “海伦娜，不怕不怕，姐姐给你跳舞看好不好呀？”而为了让她安心下来，米蒂尔模仿起了从维普蕾那里学到的独特舞姿。 “哦哦哦！是维普蕾，好像！米蒂尔，好厉害！” “……在照顾小孩方面，好像还有点用处。”看着这一切，六分仪说。 几分钟后，两名人形一起将海伦娜送到了指挥室。在目睹指挥官带着海伦娜离开时，米蒂尔向海伦娜挥手告别，后者则露出了开心的笑容。 “你的模仿……在特定情况下确实有用。”在她身旁，六分仪的声音好像也没那么清冷了。 “那当然啦！模仿就是天！” 虽然六分仪加了限定词，但米蒂尔知道，对方已经被她用实际行动说服了。

Record 3Before Mityl boarded the Elmo, in the Green Zone satellite city of KRY. Kuro and Mityl sat in front of four huge screens, with a full streaming setup of cameras and audio equipment. However, there weren't many danmaku to be seen. "(Sigh) Engagement's been super low these few days. Today's stream features the greatest hits of idol units throughout the years. We should be nailing both the AV effects and nostalgia strike zones in the audiences, so why is viewership still so bad?!" "It's only just begun, after all~ Once the stream properly begins, I'm sure traffic will rise too!" "Hopefully! I mean, NotREAL? was and still is a classic." Kuro was heartened by Mityl's reassurance. She cleared her throat and prepared to start the stream. "Alright chat, it's time for the main event; the superstar girl group from 10 years ago, NotREAL?! Their lead singer Nanaka took the entire industry by storm with her incredible vocals. Mityl and I will begin our hitlist with her number one single..." "Dafuq is NotREAL? And who is this Nanacan't? Just a washed-up idol fronting a washed-up band. Why is Kuro even glazing her up so much?" "Shit taste confirmed." The stream chat started filling with comments, but given the kind of audience Kuro usually attracted, most of them weren't friendly. "Saying I have shit taste? In MY stream chat? Looks like someone needs Kuro correction." "Kuro correction? Oh hell yeah, this is the stuff you can't get even if you pay for it! Masochists in the house eating real good tonight!" Mityl tried to play peacemaker to balance out Kuro, but the insults directed at NotREAL? poured in relentlessly. "Maximum Kuro cope" "As if anyone would even care about idols from 10 years ago" "Greatest hits? More like greatest shits!" "Ahhhhhh! I've had all I can stand! I can't take it no more!" Kuro gritted her teeth before rattling off an improbably long chat message. "You can't even appreciate a talented and beautiful idol like Nanaka? Sounds like you're blind, deaf, and you've got your heads so far up your asses you can't even see the light! Modbot, delete all the comments insulting Nanaka and ban everyone who said them! It doesn't matter if they gave gifts or superchats, ban them all!" "Ahahaha absolutely seething" "lel" "imagine shilling an idol who's been expired for 10 years, fucking kek" The viewer count in the stream channel skyrocketed. The people who were there to watch the drama, the people who were there to troll Kuro, and the people who didn't have an opinion either way about NotREAL? all came together to "join the festivities" as danmaku flew swiftly past the screen like machinegun fire. Then, Mityl suddenly got up, walking briskly over to the microphone. She began to sing, and a clear, flowing melody filled the air. From her lips came a beautiful chorus fit for the heavens above. Mityl quietly performed Nanaka's hit single from 10 years ago, and her ethereal singing instantly washed away the clamor in the air with the might of a flowing river. The flood of danmaku began to ebb. "...Why's she singing all of a sudden? Is she desperate or something?" "Okay, this is actually pretty good." "Kuro's taste is still shit but her partner can really sing." "Hey, I think so too! What's this song called?" Mityl decided to quit while she was ahead and returned the spotlight to her friend. Kuro leaned in toward the camera, having used this brief interlude to compose herself. "This song is from Nanaka, the idol you were calling washed-up just now! Do you see how great Nanaka is now? Who was the one calling my taste shit just now, hmm? You can choke on it!" After Mityl laid the groundwork for her, Kuro took the opportunity to play the original song from Nanaka, which gave the NotREAL? fans in the audience more chances to comment. Slowly, the tone of the danmaku began to improve... After the stream, Kuro breathed a long sigh of relief. Seeing the growth in viewership numbers on her screen had put her in an exceptionally good mood. "Look, Kuro! You got a ton of views today!" In the end, while Kuro's foul-mouthed antics drove some people away, they wound up attracting even more subscribers to her channel instead. "Hehe, we sure shut those trolls up, didn't we? Ahhhhh, it feels great!" Kuro had done this sort of thing before, but for some reason, it felt better than usual today. "And it was all thanks to you, Mityl. You must have worked really hard to sing that well. Nanaka's songs are pretty complex; you must have practiced for a really long time to pull it off." "Hehe~ I've always been good at doing impressions of others, so it was no trouble at all!" Mityl accepted Kuro's praise with her usual humility. However, she meant what she said; she had always found livestreams fun and taking part in them was no hardship for her. She disliked being alone and hated being bored. But now, she had Kuro to bring her onto livestreams where they could mess around together. Meanwhile, Mityl's talents could help Kuro out, and they even won her the audience's approval as well... all this made Mityl a very happy camper. "In any case, thanks for the assist! Now come with me! We're doing a gaming stream next and the great Kuro is going to introduce you to a piece of ludokino!" "Wow! Really, boss? Is it really that good?" "Damn right it is! Stick with me and you can't go wrong!" This was how the Green Zone streaming duo spent their days before they met up with the Commander again.米蒂尔登上艾莫号前，绿区卫星城，KRY。 在四块超大型显示屏前，卡萝和米蒂尔正对着全套摄像录音设备进行直播，但屏幕上的弹幕数量十分稀少。 “哎，连着几天都这个播放量。今天直播间主打经典女团歌曲大盘点，集视听效果和情怀于一体，人数怎么还这么低啊！” “才刚刚开始呢～一会儿开始正式的内容后，人气肯定会上去！” “希望吧，毕竟NotREAL?可是那个年代的经典。”卡萝接受了米蒂尔的安慰，她清了清嗓子，正式开始营业。 “观众老爷们好呀，今天要隆重介绍的，是十年前的大爆女团NotREAL? ，其主唱七花作为实力vocal更是惊艳全场。接下来，我和米蒂尔将从其代表曲上开始盘点……” “什么NotREAL?，什么七花，不就是过气女团和过气偶像嘛。主播还当个宝啊？”“主播的品味太差。” 直播间弹幕渐渐地多了起来，但基于卡萝平时所吸引的观众群体，内容大多不太友好。 “没想到这么没有品味的弹幕会出现在我的直播间，看来是需要来一波粉丝提纯了。” “提纯？卡萝要虐粉了吗？观众里的抖M们有福了！” 米蒂尔配合着卡萝试图缓和气氛，但弹幕里对NotREAL?的诋毁依然不依不饶。 “主播不肯接受现实。”“哪有红十年的偶像。”“什么经典盘点？我看就是过气盘点！” “啊！忍不了了！”卡萝一咬牙，爆出了长难句，“连七花花这样实力与美貌兼具的全能美少女vocal你们都不喜欢？我看你们是双眼失明双耳失聪这辈子就这样了！房管，把所有骂七花花的弹幕全部删除，发弹幕的人也禁言，就算给我打钱也不行，全部禁言！” “哟，破防了破防了，完全破防了！”“乐！”“这年头还有过气十年的偶像单推啊，大乐。” 直播间人数一路暴涨，看乐子的人、以激怒卡萝为乐的人，还有对NotREAL?无感的人挤在一起“共襄盛举”，弹幕如同洪流。 就在这个时候，米蒂尔突然起身，俯身凑近了麦克风。 一段清澈婉转的歌声自她喉间流出，仿若天籁。 米蒂尔轻声哼唱起十年前七花的成名曲，空灵的歌声如同一道清泉，瞬间冲淡了喧嚣。 弹幕的风向开始迟疑。 “……怎么突然唱起来了？病急乱投医？”“声音还挺好听。”“主播，你品味不行，你这搭档还挺会唱。”“前面的别走，我觉得这歌也还行。求歌名！” 米蒂尔见好就收，将镜头还给好友。 卡萝逼近摄像头，总算找回场子：“这就是你们说的过气偶像七花的歌！现在你们知道七花大人的魅力了吧？刚才谁说我品味差的，自觉点，把弹幕吃回去！” 在米蒂尔铺垫后，卡萝随即播放起七花的原曲，让NotREAL?的粉丝有更多发言机会。弹幕的气氛开始渐渐好转…… 下播后，卡萝长舒一口气。看着显示屏上播放数据的增长，她尤其开心。 “快看卡萝，今天的播放量很高呢！” 结果是，虽然卡萝在直播时喷走了一些观众，但反而吸引来更多的人。 “嘿嘿，你看到那些喷子无话可说的样子了吗？太爽了！” 卡萝以前也做过这种事，但今天，她的感觉却比往常还要好。 “米蒂尔，今天多亏你了。你唱那么好，肯定是学了很久吧。七花花的歌可没那么好学，你一定是练了很久。” “嘿嘿～对善于模仿的我来说，这算不了什么哦！” 面对卡萝的赞扬，米蒂尔习惯性谦虚了一下。但这也是真心话，因为对她来说，直播本身就是件快乐的事情，她不会觉得累。 她不喜欢独处，更是特别讨厌无聊。而现在，有卡萝拉着她一起进行直播活动。自己的才能好像还能帮到她，甚至得到了观众认可……米蒂尔觉得非常快乐。 “总之谢谢啦！走，接下来是游戏直播，卡萝大人带你玩点好的！” “哇！真的吗老大，真的可以有好玩的吗？” “那还用说！跟着卡萝大人混绝对没错！” 在与指挥官重逢之前，绿区的直播双人组，就是像这样度过着她们的每一天。

Record 4"She's amazing... I can't believe she can mimic Crocodeers and Thorns so well despite being a Doll..." Mityl sheds her disguise and goes from an ELID back to her original self, just in time to see Mechty looking at her in awe. "I, uh, I was a little startled too. But I won't make that mistake again, Big Sis Klukai!" "You did a very good impression. It made me realize that I ought to update my ELID database." Beside Mechty and Belka, Andoris smiles sweetly as she organizes the logs for the recent simulation battle. Just now, Mityl had used her impersonation skills to pose as ELIDs before engaging H.I.D.E. 404 in a simulation battle. In the end, H.I.D.E. 404's results had been unimpressive without Klukai's participation. "Done chit-chatting yet? I asked Mityl to join us so we could train together, not so you could ooh and aah over her while slacking off." "Hahaha~ Actually, everyone was really good. I guess they're not used to the effects of the 'Squirrel' plugin yet." Klukai drags the others off to begin an after-action review, while Mityl stands off to the side. She finds herself thinking about the recent training session. She's honestly quite surprised by the level of 404's teamwork and coordination. It had been quite the eye-opener for a lone wolf like her, who had never belonged to a dedicated Doll squad and was used to fighting alone. "Do you know what you need to do now? Make sure you show your true abilities to do justice to Mityl's contributions." At the same time, she's also a little envious... While Klukai's tongue was as corrosive as acid, her words were also filled with concern for her teammates. "Mityl, would you mind helping them with another anti-ELID simulation battle?" "No problem! Time for Mityl's Henshin!" She's happy to help an elite team like H.I.D.E. 404. "Uwah... not only is she a slave driver for her own teammates, she's trying to exploit Mityl for free labor too..." "You little dormouse, all you know is how to complain and sleep! Shut up and train!" "I'll do my best too, so please watch me, Big Sis Klukai!" "Mmm, I'll be working hard too." Their lively bickering reminded Mityl of herself and Kuro. "They've got such a good relationship~" In the end, despite Mityl's remarkably convincing imitation, H.I.D.E. 404 manages to find their rhythm and they figure out how to counter it. As a result, she is soon defeated. "Well done, 404! You're amazing!" After her team achieves victory, Klukai's expression softens a little. "Good. We're done training for today. Granted, you could have done better." Klukai then turns to Mityl. "Mityl, the results of today's session were very good. With that in mind, I was hoping to train with you again in the future. Are you interested?" "Huh? Is this an invitation from the elite team H.I.D.E. 404? Yes, of course I'm interested!" Mityl was quite surprised by this. She had always been good at imitating others, but she hadn't expected her skills to have been met with the approval of 404. "Thank you for exchanging pointers with us, Miss Mityl." "I just hope that next time, Big Sis Klukai will be training with us!" "I just hope that next time, I won't have to put in extra training hours..." Of course, what really makes her happy is the fact that she's built the foundations of mutual trust with the reborn 404.“好厉害……明明是人形，却可以模仿成生骸鹿和生骸熊的样子……” 米蒂尔刚刚卸下伪装，从生骸变成自己本来的模样，便看到米什缇露出惊诧的表情。 “我、我也被吓了一跳，不过可露凯姐姐，我下次不会再犯同样的错误了！” “您的模仿惟妙惟肖，让我意识到关于生骸的情报也该更新了。”而在她和比悠卡旁边，安朵丝正在笑眯眯地整理着训练记录。 就在刚才，米蒂尔利用自己的模仿能力，扮演成生骸与404小队展开了一场模拟战。 结果是，在没有可露凯参加的情况下，404小队的成绩并不怎么出彩。 “都说完了吗？我拜托米蒂尔过来协助训练，不是让你在这里赞叹然后偷懒的。” “哈哈哈～其实大家都挺厉害的，只是还不熟‘灰鼠’插件的效果而已。” 可露凯拉着队员们开始复盘，米蒂尔也站在一旁不由地回想起刚才的训练。 404的默契程度让她感到惊讶，特别是对于没有隶属任何小队，经常单打独斗的米蒂尔来说有种耳目一新的感觉。 “明白接下来要做的吗？拿出你们的实力，才能对得起米蒂尔的协助。” 而同时，也让她感到有些羡慕……即便可露凯非常严厉，但她的每一句话都充满了对成员们的关心。 “米蒂尔，能麻烦你继续帮他们进行对付生骸的训练吗？” “没问题哦！看我来超级变变变！”米蒂尔也很开心能够帮到这样的精英小队。 “哇……不仅在队内是资本家，对外也要压榨人家米蒂尔小姐的劳动……” “你这头老是抱怨的睡鼠，给我闭嘴好好训练！” “可露凯姐姐我一定会好好训练的，姐姐也看看我嘛！” “嗯，我也会努力的呢。” 这吵闹又和谐的模样，让米蒂尔想到了她和卡萝。 “大家的感情可真好呀~” 最后，尽管她的模仿依旧惟妙惟肖，但404小队在快速掌握规律和应对方式后，很快击败了她。 “不愧是404，真厉害！” 团队胜利后，可露凯脸色稍霁：“嗯，今天404的训练可以结束了。虽然你们本可以表现得更好。” 而后可露凯又转向米蒂尔：“米蒂尔，鉴于今天的训练结果很不错，我希望以后还能有机会和你一起训练，不知道你是否愿意？” “诶？这是来自精英小队404的邀约？愿意，我当然愿意！”米蒂尔非常意外，她一直以来专注于模仿他人，却没想到能在实力上得到404的认同。 “谢谢您的指点，米蒂尔小姐。” “但下次训练时，我希望和可露凯姐姐一起参加呢！” “只要不让我加训怎么都行……” 当然，更让她感到开心的还是——和新生的404小队成员间，似乎也建立起了互相信任的基础。

Record 5Before reuniting with the Commander, in the Green Zone satellite city of KRY. Mityl's routine neural cloud self-diagnostic was underway, and her frame kept issuing alerts. "...It's still there. It hasn't disappeared for even a single moment," Mityl muttered to herself. As the diagnostic went deeper into her neural cloud, the alerts became louder. There was an error-filled region in her base layer, like a vast, invisible void. Normally, its existence was not evident, but during neural diagnostics, it would announce its presence in the most blatant ways. "This is it. The void in my heart." It would warp and consume any and all data signals that approached it. And it primarily consumed Mityl's emotional signals. Her joys, her sorrows, her longings and desires; in the face of this fathomless void, they were nothing more than pebbles cast into the ocean, vanishing without a trace. Mityl subconsciously activated her imitation plugin, and a perfect smile blossomed on her reflection in the mirror. "Facial expression module is functioning normally." With her imitation plugin, she could retain the bare minimum level of emotive aesthetics. But what would happen if she turned it off? No, she couldn't turn it off. Mityl reflexively rejected the idea, but her curiosity was tempting her. Mityl, that nagging voice said, you have grown. You will definitely find something that is truly yours through imitation. "I'll only turn it off for a bit. Just a little bit." She touched her chest, as if trying to reassure herself. Then, she closed her eyes and made up her mind. "Deactivate imitation plugin." But the moment she gave the command, she found that she could no longer smile. She couldn't smile, couldn't cry, couldn't grieve, couldn't feel surprise, couldn't feel fear. She touched her exquisite, perfect face and tried to make an expression. However, her expression remained motionless, like a serene wax doll refusing to obey her will. "..." She tried to talk about what she felt instead of imitating someone else, but all her mouth did was open and close without making a sound. After disabling the plugin, she had neither emotions nor words of her own. It had turned out like this after all... Even after all these years, the void in her base layer could not be fixed. A thought slithered across her mind, rearing its ugly head—compared to other Dolls, she was nothing more than just a defective product. If she couldn't do or say anything after disabling her imitation module, then on what basis did she have the right to stand by the Commander's side? Commander... Will I be able to meet you again? Would... would you still want a Doll like me? After a brief mental breakdown followed by momentary catatonia, a vast quantity of Commander-related memory data began sprouting in her neural cloud. Every move the Commander made, every word and every smile was akin to a great tree that grew and propagated ceaselessly, putting down roots within the void in her neural cloud. Anchored in those deep roots, it grew towering and unbroken. The appearance of this tree quelled the dangerous vortex of this neural black hole, and before she realized it, the imitation module that Mityl had shut down restarted itself. Through tear-dimmed eyes, Mityl saw three things: her truest self, her greatest fear, and her deepest desire. She lightly rested a hand against her chest. "Commander..." The moment she said that word, she felt as if everything about her had finally found its anchor. "Never again shall I be lost and afraid, for my memories of you shall guide me."与指挥官重逢之前，绿区卫星城，KRY。 定期的心智自检正在进行，米蒂尔的素体不断发出警报。 “……它还在那里，一刻也没有消失过。” 米蒂尔喃喃自语，随着心智自检流程的深入，警报声也越来越大。 心智底层里的那个错误的部分，仿佛一个看不到的巨大黑洞，平时显露不出存在，却会在心智检测时，以最强硬的方式宣告自己的存在感。 “这是我自己的，黑洞。” 所有的信号数据一旦靠近，就会被其扭曲和侵蚀。 而被吞噬得最多的，是米蒂尔的情感信号。 喜怒哀乐，贪恋与欲望，在面对这个深不见底的空洞时，仿佛泥牛入海，消失得无影无踪。 米蒂尔下意识地使用模仿插件，让镜中的自己顺利地露出了一个完美的笑容。 “表情模块，运行正常。” 只要有模仿插件，自己就可以维持最基础的情感性能。 但如果，关掉插件会发生什么？ 不，不能关掉。米蒂尔下意识否决了这个想法，但好奇心却在引诱着她——米蒂尔，你已经成长了。通过模仿，你会找到属于自己的东西。 “只是关闭一小会，就一小会。”她捂住自己的胸口，仿佛在安抚着自己。随后便闭上眼睛，下定了决心。 “模仿插件关闭。” 然而，就在指令下达的刹那，她发现自己再也笑不出来了。 无法微笑，无法哭泣，无法哀伤，无法惊讶，无法恐惧。 她摸着自己精致而完美的脸，试图做出表情，然而素体就像一尊安静的泥塑，不再以她的意志进行反应。 “……” 她试图张口说些什么，并非模仿，而是说出自己的感受，微张的双唇也仅能无声地开合。 关闭模仿插件后，她不再拥有情感和语言。 果然是这种结果……过了那么多年，自己心智底层的漏洞依然没有修复。 她突然觉得，这样的自己，和其他人形相比，根本就是缺陷品。 而关闭了模仿插件后什么都做不了、表达不了的人形，又要以什么样的立场站在指挥官身边？ ——指挥官……我还能与你重逢吗？你……还愿意接纳这样的我吗？ 在一场崩溃和麻木后，大量有关指挥官的记忆数据被不停地调用出来，指挥官的一举一动，一颦一笑，仿佛一棵不断自我复制和生长的大树，硬生生在她的心智空洞中扎根，生长。 大树的出现，让心智空洞这个危险的涡流平静了下来，不知不觉间，被米蒂尔关闭的模仿插件自动启动。 在泪水朦胧的双眼中，米蒂尔看到了最真实的自己，以及自身最大的恐惧和最深切的渴望。 她用手轻轻抚上胸口。 “指挥官……” 这三个字被说出口时，仿佛她的一切就有了支点。 “我不害怕，因为有你的记忆在这里。” 她说。

Record 6"Commander, what kind of instrument should I learn to play?" Mityl stands in front of me, a puzzled look on her face. She's subconsciously dragging the tips of her toes across the floor. "I'll be touring the Green Zone with Monsoon Squad next week, so I'm a little nervous about learning an instrument now. But I'll probably be fine once I figure out who to imitate." "Commander, I was thinking of copying either Jiangyu, Daiyan, or Zhaohui and learning their instrument of choice. What do you think?" She seems to have found a direction to proceed in, but judging by the look on her face, Mityl doesn't seem too happy with that answer. "In other words, the drums, the guzheng, or the suona. All three of them are Eastern musical instruments with their own special qualities. Jiangyu and the others chose them based on their preferences and how they fit their personal style. Mityl, are you sure you're interested in them?" "Hm... Frankly speaking, I only have a theoretical understanding of these instruments. I can't really say I like them, haha~" I pat her shoulder and tell her not to worry about it. "Tell you what; why don't you pick an instrument that suits you instead, Mityl?" "An instrument that suits me..." Mityl frowns. She looks even more puzzled now. "Hm, your usual outfit reminds me of rock and roll musicians from the previous century. Why not try the guitar? It can play just about any kind of song and it can well support your ventures into the field of music." "The guitar? Yeah, that sounds great! I'll go with that!" To my surprise, Mityl made her decision the moment I finished speaking. In fact, I was a little worried by the speed at which she had made up her mind. Had I made my suggestion too hastily? "Thanks for the suggestion, Commander! Once I learn it, you'll be my first listener, won't you?" "Sure, I'll be waiting for you." A few short days later, Mityl eagerly bursts into the ops room. She's holding a light brown guitar that matches her Bohemian style. Her vibe, as far as I can see, is truly rock and roll. "Commander, I'm ready for my first performance. Are you ready to hear me play?" I put down what I'm doing for the moment and smile at her. "Of course." "In that case—" Mityl takes a deep breath. "Here I go!" Mityl places her slim fingers on the strings. In an instant, I feel like a metal warmachine is doing donuts on my soul while my eardrums and heart are throbbing with every ebb and flow of the beat. My instincts react faster than my thoughts, and by the time I realize it, my hands are already covering my ears. "Where's the fire?! I'm on it!" Mayling bursts in right after that, a pail of water in hand. I frantically try to calm Mayling down with one hand while patting Mityl's shoulder with the other, trying to calm both of them. "WAIT. Both of you, just hold on for a bit." "Commander, are you alright?" I put a hand on my chest and will myself to calm down. "I'm fine. Mayling, please put the bucket down. There's no fire here. And Mityl... I'm sorry about my reaction just now. That said, who did you learn to play the guitar from?" Mityl's face turns pink and she shyly replies: "Um... Well, most people on the Elmo don't know how to play the guitar, so I had nobody I could imitate. However... Papasha said Suomi understood bands very well, so I decided to ask her to teach me." Upon hearing this, I suddenly draw a breath. "Wait, so you asked SUOMI to teach you how to play the guitar...?!" Suomi's favorite genre of music is heavy metal, and she likes death metal in particular. The racket Mityl made just now would be understandable if she had been copying death metal guitarists. "Ah, so you were playing the guitar just now, Miss Mityl. I, um, I'm sorry, I thought the Elmo was burning down..." "Miss Mayling, Commander, was my playing just now really bad?" Mityl asked in a worried tone. "Ah, er, um, I, uh, I dunno anything about guitars so I'll be off now. Take your time to talk, Commander!" Mayling grabs her bucket and flees the ops room, leaving only Mityl and me to look at each other. The expectant look in her eyes leaves me at a bit of a loss for how to answer her, and I try desperately to come up with a coherent reply. "Ahem... Well, it's not BAD per se. Considering my shallow knowledge of heavy metal, I don't think there were any technical issues with your performance. Even your screaming was spot on. It certainly shook my soul." "So you're saying you liked my performance, Commander?!" It seems that the point has completely flown over Mityl's head. "It, uh, it was decent. Ah... Will you be going on tour with Daiyan and the others tomorrow?" Mityl nods. "...While I'm not sure about the tastes of those who live in the Green Zone... Well, if they can accept the suona, I don't think scream-singing should be an issue." "Really, Commander? That's great!" She hugs her guitar and the anticipation in her eyes deepens. I nod, and offer up a silent prayer for her audience. Several days later, Zhaohui informs me about Monsoon Squad's tour of the Green Zone in the form of a particularly lame joke. Apparently, it was a resounding success and received rave reviews from the listeners. However, one of the concert locations was near an old folks' home. It would seem many of the senior citizens there had sprained themselves while headbanging along to one of Mityl's metal songs. Fortunately, a hospital visit had given them all a clean bill of health. Meanwhile, I found myself imagining a heavy metal suona concert, and in that moment, I glimpsed a vision of a brave new world.“指挥官，你说我该学什么乐器好呢？” 米蒂尔苦恼地站在我面前，她的脚尖下意识地在活动层的地面上轻轻摩擦。 “我下周就要和季风乐队一起去绿区表演了，现在开始学乐器时间有点紧张，但只要能找到模仿对象应该就不会有问题。 “指挥官，我想在绛雨、黛烟和朝晖中找一个人来模仿，学习她们的乐器，你觉得怎么样？” 她好像找到了方向，但从表情上看，米蒂尔对这个答案似乎并不满意。 “鼓、古筝和唢呐，这三样都是很有特点的东方乐器，绛雨她们选择这三样是出于自己的喜好和风格。米蒂尔，这些你真的感兴趣吗？” “嗯……说实话，对这些乐器我只有概念上的了解，目前还谈不上兴趣啦，哈哈～” 我拍拍她的肩膀，让她不必在意。 “乐器的选择，就从米蒂尔你自己的风格出发，怎么样？” “我自己的风格……”米蒂尔皱起眉头，似乎陷入了更大的困惑中。 “唔，你常穿的服装风格，让我想起上世纪的一些摇滚乐手，不如试试吉他吧？它几乎什么曲子都能弹，可以支持你自由地在音乐领域探索。” “吉他？好欸！就学这个！” 没想到我话音刚落，米蒂尔就一锤定音做了决策。她下决定速度之快让我甚至有些担心，建议是不是有些草率了？ “谢谢你的建议，指挥官！等我学会了，就让你第一个做我的听众，可以吗？” “好啊，我会等着的。” 只过了几天，米蒂尔就兴奋地敲开了指挥室的门。 个性不拘一格的少女抱着和她服装契合的浅棕色吉他，颇有一种摇滚歌手的感觉。 “指挥官，我准备好了。你准备好听我的曲子了吗？“ 我暂时放下了手中的事，笑着回她：“当然。” “那我——”米蒂尔深吸一口气，“就开始咯！” 米蒂尔纤细的手指搭上吉他弦，刹那间，我感到灵魂仿佛被一辆金属战车碾过，耳膜和心脏一同在演奏之中颤抖。 本能的反应来得更快，在意识到之前，我已经用双手捂住了耳朵。 “是哪里着火了？！我来解决！”紧接着，美玲像是炮弹一样，拿着水桶冲进了指挥室。 我连忙按住美玲，另一只手也搭上了米蒂尔的肩膀，示意双方都冷静下来。 “停一停，都停一停。” “指挥官，你还好吗？” 我按了按胸口，让自己快速平复下来。 “我没事。美玲，先把水桶放下，这里没有失火。还有……米蒂尔，我为我刚刚的反应向你道歉，不过，你到底是怎么学的吉他？” 米蒂尔的脸微微发红，略有些羞涩地说： “那个……艾莫号上的大家都不怎么会弹吉他，我没有找到很好的模仿对象。只有……波波沙说索米对乐队很了解，于是我就去请教索米了。” 听到这里，我倒吸一口凉气。 “嘶，学吉他找索米……” 索米最喜欢的就是重金属乐队，尤其是核嗓。米蒂尔模仿了重金属乐队里的吉他手，出现刚才的动静也就说得通了。 “原来刚刚是米蒂尔小姐在弹吉他呀，对不起，我、我还以为出现火灾……” “美玲小姐，指挥官，我刚刚的演奏很差劲吗？”米蒂尔担忧地问。 “啊，这、这个，我对吉他演奏不了解，所以……我先走了指挥官你们慢聊！” 抱起水桶，美玲一溜烟离开了指挥室，偌大的指挥室内，最终只剩下我和米蒂尔面面相觑。 她眼神中的期待让我有些不好回答，得想办法组织下语言了。 “咳……也不能说不好，以我对重金属音乐的粗浅了解，你的演奏技术应该是没有问题的，就连核嗓演唱也十分标准，‘震撼’人心。” “也就是说，指挥官你喜欢我的演奏？！” 米蒂尔的关注重点完全歪了。 “还、还不错吧。啊……你明天就要跟黛烟她们一起去表演了吗？” 米蒂尔点点头。 “……我不太清楚绿区观众的喜好，但……既然他们连唢呐演奏都能接受，我想重金属核嗓应该也不在话下吧。” “真的吗指挥官，那太好了！” 少女抱着吉他，眼中的期待更浓烈了。 我在为观众们祈祷的同时，对少女点了点头。 几天后，朝晖以冷笑话的形式告诉我，季风乐队在绿区的演出大获成功，群众反响十分热烈。 不过，由于演出场地在一家养老院旁边，有很多大龄观众在现场听到米蒂尔的金属摇滚时，跟着一起扭腰，导致不少人为此受伤。 好消息是，经过医院检查，大家都没有大碍。 而我则是想象着重金属与唢呐齐鸣的场景，恍惚间仿佛打开了新世界。

Record 7"Hey, who's that pretty girl? Since when did we have someone like that aboard the Elmo?" "The Commander has tons of old friends. She must be a guest of the Commander's. Alright, enough chit-chat. We have a training session to complete." As I pass by the crew deck, I hear Team Groza discussing something strange. "What's going on? Why's everyone gathered here?" "Oh, if it isn't the Commander. Well, we're discussing a human girl with ethereal beauty and stunning looks~ She's been roaming the Elmo recently, but none of us recognize her~" Colphne hops in front of me and describes the situation, while Groza looks at me with a helpless expression. "Huh, do I know anyone like that?" "You don't know her, Commander? Well, if she's a suspicious person, we'll have to ask her to leave," Groza says. "But I really don't... hm? Wait a minute." I suddenly remember a certain someone who arrived on the Elmo. If it's her, I'm sure she could perfectly imitate a human being. "I think I know who she is now... Don't worry, I'll take care of this." I arrive at the room of the Doll I have in mind and knock on the door. "Please come in." After hearing the familiar voice, I push the door open and enter. Inside the room, a "human" girl sits on the bed. She is clad in a long white dress with long chestnut hair, looking for all the world like a fairy of the forest. Her gaze washes over me, and a smile soon adorns her face. She is a beauty beyond words, looking as though she stepped right out of an oil painting from centuries past—a girl in a white dress from the countryside, emerging from the woods into a wondrous prairie. "May I know who you are? I find myself lost, and am without the knowledge of the way home." I sigh and then approach her. "Alright, Mityl, you don't have to keep pretending anymore." "Eh? You recognized me right away, Commander? But everyone was totally clueless." I sit down beside her. Mityl shimmies over to get closer to me. "I remember you once told me you wanted to try dressing like this." "So that's how you saw through me. Yeah, I remember saying that," Mityl muses as she raises her chin. There's a crisp fragrance to her, like fresh flowers. "So, how was my outfit? I even got Sharkry to teach me the right way to apply perfume." She raises her wrist to my nose. "I wonder if you like this scent, Commander?" "It's pretty good. I'll say this is uniquely yours. Sharkry doesn't do herself up this way." "Really? Hehe~ Hearing you say that's unique to me makes me really happy!" Mityl suddenly rests her head on my shoulder before wrapping her arms around me from behind. "Mityl?" "Shhh! Commander, I can hear your heartbeat. Let me listen to it for a little longer." Mityl continues leaning against me for a while. Eventually, she seems to be satisfied and moves back to my side, from which she peers into my eyes. "Alright! What shall we do next, Commander? Why don't we head over to the crew deck and show off this new outfit~" She gets up to leave the room. I suddenly come to my senses and reach out to stop her. "We can't do that... Rumors are already spreading everywhere, and if word gets out that I'm being dragged around by someone dressed like a human, it's going to cause all kinds of misunderstandings." "So that's a no... Alright then. In that case, you'll have to properly keep me company right now, okay?" I have no reason to refuse Mityl's new request. My time with her is quite relaxing. The only problems are... Mityl keeps messing with me, or asking to listen to my heartbeat. All in all, she seems a little too clingy.“那位美少女究竟是谁啊？艾莫号上没有这号人吧？” “指挥官的故交很多，那位少女应该是指挥官请来的客人。不要在这里议论了，该训练就去训练。” 路过活动层时，我看到闪电小队在讨论一件奇怪的事。 “发生了什么，大家怎么都聚在这里？” “哎呀，指挥官来啦。我们正在讨论一位气质清丽脱俗、容颜绝美的人类少女哟～最近她一直出没在艾莫号，但大家都不认识呢～” 寇尔芙故意跳到我面前，很清楚地说明了事态，闪电则是有些无奈地看着我。 “我怎么不知道我还认识这号人？” “指挥官，你没有印象吗？如果是可疑人士，那么就得请对方离开了。”闪电说。 “我是真没……嗯？等等，” 我突然想到如果是最近刚到艾莫号的她，应该可以完美地模仿成人类。 “我知道是谁了……别紧张，这件事就交给我处理吧。” 我来到了心中所想的人形的休息室门前，敲了敲门。 “请进。” 熟悉的声音响起，我推门而入。 房间中，身穿白色长裙、留着栗色长发，宛如林中仙子一般的“人类”美少女正端坐在床上，微笑着看向我。 她美好得仿佛上世纪笔触清新的油画——乡野之中，穿着白裙的少女行走于林间与田园之上。 “请问，您是谁呢？我迷失在这里，找不到归家的路了。” 我叹了口气，靠近她：“米蒂尔，不要再装了。” “诶？指挥官一下就认出我了吗？其他人现在都被蒙在鼓里呢。” 我坐在了她的旁边，米蒂尔则挪动了一下位置，离我更近了一点。 “我记得你之前和我说过，你想要尝试这种风格的打扮。” “原来是这样穿帮的啊，我确实有说过～”米蒂尔略微扬起下巴，她身上有一股像是花朵般的清新的香气，“那我打扮得怎么样？我还特意跟夏克里请教了香水的用法哦。” 她特地将手腕伸到我鼻尖。“这个香气，不知道指挥官会不会喜欢。” “还可以吧，这是属于你的风格，夏克里打扮的时候不是这样的。” “真的吗？嘿嘿～听到指挥官说这是只属于我的时候，我感到特别开心！” 米蒂尔突然把头靠在我肩上，双臂从身后抱住了我。 “米蒂尔？” “嘘！指挥官，我听到了你的心跳声，让我再多听一会儿吧。” 米蒂尔在我身上趴了一会儿，像是暂时满足后，又重新坐到了我的前面。清澈的双眸与我四目相对。 “好了！指挥官，我们接下来做什么？要不要一起去活动层，向大家展示一下这副打扮呢～” 她说着就要起身走出去。我突然回过神，制止了她。 “现在这样不行……谣言已经满天飞了，再和人类打扮的你拉着手出去，绝对会引起误会的。” “不可以吗……好吧，那指挥官再多陪陪现在的我，好不好？” 米蒂尔的新请求我没有理由拒绝。 陪伴她的这段时光很轻松，唯一烦恼的是……米蒂尔反复拉着我搞怪，或是要求听我的心跳声，似乎有点太黏人了。

Record 8"Sorry I'm late, Mityl. I had some work to do—" I apologize for my tardiness as I arrive at the corridor where I was supposed to meet Mityl, but when I see what lies before me, I find myself shocked still. It's sunset. The golden cascade of twilight is streaming in through the window and onto Mityl's brown hair. She doesn't seem to have noticed me, for she continues standing by the window and staring out into the view beyond. Time seems to stand still in that moment, with only the slowly sinking solar disc serving as proof that the seconds still tick by. "Oh, Commander, you're here~" At last, Mityl notices me. She turns around with a dazzling smile on her face. "Sorry, I said I'd shoot a short film with you earlier but I was late. If I haven't forgotten, you don't particularly like being alone, right?" "It's okay. I knew you were coming so I didn't feel too bad, Commander." She walks up to me and interlaces her fingers with mine. "It's certainly true that I don't like being alone, and I like a cold, forlorn atmosphere even less. But I don't mind waiting for you, Commander. I didn't mind it then, and I don't mind it now..." "Because whenever I wait for you, I feel a heat surging in my frame~ And it makes me imagine just how we're going to meet up afterwards!" Like many Griffin Dolls, Mityl spent many years in the Green Zone. While that was the best choice we could have made at the time... "Because I truly believed we'd meet again. And just knowing that—whether or not I could actually return to your side—made every second of waiting worth it." Mityl presses her face closer to me, until her head is resting on my shoulder. I can feel the heat she spoke of; that heat that surely surged within her. "Commander, your body feels warm too, just like mine." "...In truth, I've been looking forward to meeting everyone again too." "Mmm. Thank you, Commander. So please, don't let go of me, because now that we're together again... I want to enjoy all the time we'll get." She closes her eyes as she rests her head on my shoulder. In this moment, I look at the setting sun outside the window. The sun shall set and rise again, but no matter what, it would never fill me with the same warmth that this girl gave.“抱歉，米蒂尔，我来晚了，工作上有些事需要处理——” 来到和米蒂尔约定好的走廊，我正为自己的迟到而道歉，但看到眼前的一幕，短暂地有些失语。 时近黄昏，晚霞的金芒透过窗户，落在米蒂尔的栗色长发上。 她似乎没有立刻看到我，依旧维持着发呆的样子，就那样站在窗边。 那个时刻，似乎只有缓缓沉入地平线的那轮落日，在诠释着时光的流动。 “指挥官，你来啦～” 终于，米蒂尔看到了我，她立刻转过身，露出灿烂的笑容。 “抱歉，说好了要帮你拍微电影，我却来晚了。我记得，你不喜欢独处？” “没关系哦，只要想起指挥官会来，我就不会难过呢。” 少女来到我面前，手指扣入了我的指间。 “我确实不喜欢一个人，更不喜欢冷清的氛围。但是，我并不讨厌等待指挥官。不管是以前，还是现在…… “因为每次在等你的时候，素体都会有一种热热的感觉～我会不由自主地想象我们接下来会怎样相见！” 和许多格里芬的人形一样，米蒂尔在绿区呆了很多年。虽然对当时的我们来说，那是可以做出的最好的选择…… “因为我相信一定还会再见到指挥官的，只要能看到你……无论最后能否回到指挥官的身边，那等待对我来说就是值得的。” 米蒂尔将脸凑得更近，最终将头靠到我的肩膀上，我开始也渐渐感觉到了她所说的素体的热度。 “指挥官，你的身体也有一点发热哦，和我一样呢。” “……实际上我也和你一样，一直在期待和大家的重逢。” “嗯，谢谢你指挥官……那就请不要放开我，我想再多感受一下，和你重逢后的时光。” 少女在肩头闭上了眼睛，而我则是看向了窗外的落日。 阳光的余温，不及肩头少女素体温度的一分温暖。
