Bared Edge 1 无鞘之刃1

(It has been some time since the two DEFY members have formally joined the Elmo.)（距离忤逆小队的二人正式登上艾莫号，已经过去了一段时间。）

(I must admit that their presence here has introduced a particularly curious type of vitality, almost magical in its intensity. It's a welcome change to the Elmo amidst the endless stretches of sand.)（我得承认，她们的加入，为这艘在黄沙中流浪的战舰，注入了一股全新的、几乎可以说是有些奇妙的活力。）

(At least, that's the case for Alva.)（至少对埃芙而言，是这样的。）

(The afternoon sun flits through the Zucchero's crystal-clear windows, leaving warm mottled patches of light on the floor.)（午后的阳光透过“方糖”咖啡店干净的落地窗，在地板上投下暖洋洋的光斑。）

(The smell of Springfield's fresh out of the oven orange zest cookies spreads through the air, blending with the aroma of coffee and casting a shroud of leisure over the whole room.)（春田新烤的橙皮曲奇的香气，混合着咖啡豆的醇厚味道，在空气中弥漫，让整个公共区都显得惬意而安宁。）

(With a cup of coffee in my hand, I observe the commotion in the café from the bar corner.)（我端着一杯咖啡，坐在吧台的角落里，看着店里热闹的景象。）

ColphneWow, that's amazing, Miss Alva! I've only ever seen that maneuver in the textbooks! How do you manage to stay balanced at that angle?哇！埃芙小姐好厉害！这个战术动作，我只在教科书上见过！您是怎么做到在那种角度下还能保持平衡的？

AlvaTake it slowly, Miss Colphne.别着急，寇尔芙小姐。

AlvaThe key here is shifting your center of gravity. See, like this... exert force with the waist and bring your body around. Use more than just your legs.关键是重心的转移，你看，像这样……腰部先发力，带动身体，不要只用腿。

AlvaYou'll be able to do it too with some practice.多练习几次，你也能做到的。

SpringfieldGood work with the training, Miss Alva.埃芙小姐，训练辛苦了。

SpringfieldPlease, have a taste of my new cookies. I've added some orange zest for flavor.来尝尝我新做的曲奇吧，加了一点橙皮调味。

AlvaA refreshing flavor, Miss Springfield.很清新的味道，春田小姐。

AlvaJust the right amount of sugar to go with this tea. Thank you.甜度也刚刚好，很适合搭配红茶。谢谢您。

(Alva quickly discarded her "DEFY"-affiliated veil of mystery.)（埃芙很快便脱下了那层属于“忤逆小队”的神秘面纱。）

(With her temperate disposition and caring side, she quickly mixed right in with everyone on the Elmo.)（她温和的性格和擅长照顾人的一面，让她迅速地和艾莫号上的大家打成了一片。）

(I often see her communicating with Colphne and the others about various techniques, or discussing combinations of desserts and tea with Springfield in her café. Whatever it was, she would often have an at-ease smile that I haven't seen in quite some time on her face.)（现在，我时常能看到她和寇尔芙她们在训练场上交流技巧，或是在咖啡店里，与春田探讨甜品与茶的搭配，脸上带着我许久未见的、轻松的笑容。）

(I finally let out a sigh of relief, seeing that she's integrated with the others.)（看到她能这么快融入集体，我总算是松了一口气。）

Commander...……

(However, the "other side" hasn't gone as smoothly... Rather, it hasn't even made any progress at all.)（但，“另一边”就没有那么顺利了……不，比起顺不顺利，不如说，连第一步都没有开始。）

(I move my attention away from the hubbub of the group, turning to a seat in the café's corner.)（我的目光，从热闹的人群中移开，落在了咖啡店最角落的那个座位上。）

(Voymastina sits there, fully upright, like a sheathed blade.)（威玛西娜正端坐在那里，背脊挺得笔直，像一柄插在刀鞘里的利剑。）

(She's here as well, but only because Alva more or less dragged her here.)（她也在这里，埃芙几乎是强拉着她过来的。）

(Completely failing to fit into the lively atmosphere, she sits by her lonesome. Before her sits a bottle of vodka, a container of peppers, and a cup with a ball of ice within.)（但她与周围的热闹氛围格格不入，面前的桌子上放着一瓶伏特加、一瓶胡椒，还有一个装着冰球的酒杯。）

(She continues in silence, taking in cup after cup of peppered spirits, not even allowing Springfield to assist her in pouring the drink and communicating with absolutely no one.)（她沉默地坐着，一杯一杯地喝着掺杂了胡椒的烈酒，连倒酒的过程也没有让春田介入，没有与任何人交流。）

(She is akin to an off spot of color in the mellow environs, obstinately and silently closing herself from the rest of the world around her.)（她就像是这片温馨景象中的一个异色点，固执地、沉默地，将自己与周围的一切隔绝开来。）

Alva...……

(Alva can't help but smile bitterly at the sight.)（面对此景，埃芙也不禁露出了苦笑。）

(This wasn't the first time she had tried to get Voymastina integrated into the Elmo's community. It seems that this attempt has once again ended in failure.)（这并非她第一次尝试让威玛西娜融入艾莫号，但就和她之前的数次努力一样，显然最后也只有失败这一个结果。）

MaylingN-no one's going to try today either? Even though Miss Alva asked us...今，今天也没人尝试吗……埃芙小姐都拜托我们了……

Makiatto...I-it's not like I'm scared.………………我，我一点都没有害怕。

MakiattoIt's just that I can understand how she wouldn't want to be disturbed, being an elite Doll myself!只是同为精英人形，我能理解她不想被人打扰的心情而已！

CentaureissiThe Manager tried a few times earlier.之前店长已经试过几次了。

CentaureissiBut... we can't establish any meaningful communication. A single-sided conversation accomplishes nothing.但是……对话无法成立，单方面的靠近是没有意义的。

Colphne(Sigh) What a shame. How'd you two turn out so different despite being in the same squad?唉，真是可惜，明明是一个小队的，怎么差别这么大呢？

GrozaVoymastina rarely communicates with anyone outside of Alva herself.除了埃芙本人以外，威玛西娜几乎不跟任何人交流。

GrozaEven if someone approaches her, she'll only respond with the bare minimum.即便有人主动搭话，她也只会进行最低限度的回答。

MaylingMaybe... Miss Voymastina hates us?难道说……威玛西娜小姐讨厌我们吗？

CommanderNo, I don't think that's the case.不，我想应该没那回事。

Alva...Yes, that's the one thing I can guarantee.……是的，唯独这点我可以保证。

AlvaVoymastina absolutely harbors no contempt or dislike for anyone present, she just...威玛西娜绝没有厌恶，轻蔑诸位的意思，她只是……

Alva...Isn't very good at dealing with anyone outside of DEFY.……不太擅长应对忤逆小队以外的人。

AlvaIf she were on a mission, she might communicate more. But when it comes to "daily life" on the Elmo...倘若是在执行任务，交流可能还会多一些，但在艾莫号上这种“日常生活”中的交流……

AlvaI would imagine she's finding the adjustment rather difficult.她大概是，难以习惯吧。

CommanderIs that... the reason you sought me out?所以……这就是你找我来的原因吗？

Alva...Yes.……是的。

(That bitter smile appears to be glued to Alva's face today.)（埃芙脸上的苦笑今天似乎就没有消失过。）

AlvaAll of us are gathered here talking about Voymastina's affairs.我们这么多人围在这里，讨论着关于威玛西娜的事。

AlvaAnd she's sitting right over there. Even without intending to listen in on our discussion, I'm sure she's heard her name several times already. That being the case though, as everyone can see, she's... thoroughly uninterested.而她本人就在那里，即便并没有特意偷听我们的谈话，我觉得应该也已经数次听见了自己的名字才对，但即便如此，如各位所见，她完全……没有兴趣。

ColphneOoh, yeah! If I ever saw everyone gathered around not knowing what to talk about, I'd come over immediately.真的欸！要是寇尔芙的话，发现大家围在一起不知道在说什么，肯定马上就要凑过来了。

ColphneEven more so if I found out that I was the topic at hand. I'd be itching to find out if someone was talking smack about me or something.发现话题是自己的话就更不得了了，绝对会在意是不是在说坏话什么的啊！

AlvaIn the past decade or so we've rarely, if ever, encountered an issue like this.过去的十年里，我们很少，或者说几乎完全没有遇到过这样的问题。

AlvaThere have been assignments where we've had to communicate with various different folks like "she" does, but Voymastina and I were semi-excluded from the rest of the world, essentially.虽然也有像“她”那样需要和很多不同的人打交道的任务，但我和威玛西娜，几乎处于半与世隔绝的状态。

AlvaMost of our time was spent drifting through the yellow zones with some combat here and there. Our only opportunities to communicate are with familiar faces like Kevin, Mona, Anna... and I would be the one handling the talking.我们常年在黄区流浪，作战，仅有的与人交流的机会，也基本是和凯文、莫娜、安娜这些熟悉的对象……而且基本也都是我在负责对话。

CommanderBut now things are different... right?但是现在不一样了……对吗？

AlvaYes.是的。

AlvaWe're still a ways removed from everyone here who really has the Elmo as their home, but we've made it our base of operations as well.虽然比不上真的以艾莫号为家的大家，但我们现在也基本将这里作为了据点。

AlvaMuch of our downtime is spent here... Frankly, we're getting used to "normal life" here.也有很多在这里单纯休整的时间……坦白讲，就是开始习惯在这里过“正常的生活”了。

AlvaBy all rights, this should be something good, but good does not mean easy to adjust to.……按理来说，这应该是好事，但好事也并不总是令人习惯。

CommanderLike a veteran struggling to adjust to normal life with post-traumatic stress disorder...简直像是患上了战后创伤综合征的军人无法回归正常生活一样……

AlvaAnd so we must leave this to you.所以，只能拜托您了。

CommanderI understand.我知道了。

CommanderVoymastina is one of our comrades as well. It's my responsibility to handle this.威玛西娜也是我们的同伴，那这当然也是我的责任。

CommanderThough...不过……

(I look towards Voymastina sitting a small distance away, thinking.)（我若有所思地看向坐在不远处的威玛西娜。）

Commander...……

(...What does she herself think of all this?)（……她自己，又是怎么想的呢？）

Bared Edge 2 无鞘之刃2

(After some deep thought, I find Voymastina in the training room the next morning.)（在经过一段深思熟虑之后，第二天上午，我在训练室里找到了威玛西娜。）

(She seems to be at the end of a cycle of intense simulated exercises, standing before the weapon racks and meticulously cleaning the weapon in her hands with a cloth.)（她似乎刚刚结束了一轮高强度的单人模拟作战，正站在武器架前，用一方白布，一丝不苟地擦拭着手中的武器。）

(Even though she always takes with her that mobile armor that's taller than me onto missions, one that admittedly brings back some terrible memories, she still keeps up with her own training.)（虽然现在她执行任务的时候都会带上那个比我人还要高，简直勾起了我糟糕回忆的外骨骼机甲，但即便如此，她也没有懈怠自身的训练。）

CommanderVoymastina.威玛西娜。

(She pauses in her wiping motion, turning towards me.)（她擦拭的动作停顿了一下，转过身来看着我。）

(In her crimson pupils are absolute calm, bereft of a single hint of emotion.)（那对赤红的眼眸中透着的，依旧是没有任何情绪波动的、绝对的冷静。）

VoymastinaA mission directive, Commander?指挥官，有任务指令？

CommanderNo, the opposite, in fact.不，正好相反。

CommanderEveryone on the Elmo has a day off today. No missions.今天艾莫号全员休整，没有任何任务。

CommanderSo... I wanted to ask a "private" favor of you.所以……我想请你帮我一个“私人”的忙。

Voymastina...Please advise.……请指示。

(She appears a little confused by the concept of a private favor, but still does not hesitate to obey.)（她似乎对“私人的忙”这个概念有些困惑，但还是毫不犹豫地选择了服从。）

(I look at her, sighing deep down.)（我看着她，心中暗自叹了口气。）

(Looks like getting her to understand "entertainment" and "relaxation" will have to be done through the medium of a "mission", a notion she fully understands.)（看来，想让她理解“玩乐”和“放松”，只能先从她能够理解的“任务”开始。）

CommanderFollow me.跟我来吧。

(She doesn't enquire further, proficiently returning the rifle to its rack and following me with footsteps as precise as a metronome's.)（她没有多问，将步枪妥善地放回武器架上，便迈着精准得如同节拍器一般的步伐，跟在了我的身后。）

(I bring her to the "Zucchero" café.)（我带着威玛西娜来到了“方糖”咖啡店。）

(The place is even livelier than it was yesterday.)（今天的这里，比昨天还要热闹。）

(Colphne has found a set for a TTRPG from somewhere, excitedly telling a tale of a magnificent, sweeping adventure to Qiuhua, Krolik, and the others gathered around the table.)（寇尔芙不知道从哪里翻出了一套桌面RPG的游戏道具，正兴奋地，向围坐在桌子旁的秋桦、克罗丽科等人，讲述着一段波澜壮阔的冒险故事。）

ColphneAs you open the dungeon's gate, its hinges moving for the first time in more than a millennium...……当你们推开那扇尘封了千年的地城大门！

ColphneThe scent of sulfur and decay assaults your senses!一股混合着腐朽与硫磺的气息扑面而来！

ColphneIn the depths of the darkness inside, a pair of bright red eyes are honed straight in on you!在黑暗的深处，一双猩红的眼睛，正死死地盯着你们！

ColphneSo, adventurers, what'll it be?那么，冒险者们，你们的行动是？

QiuhuaI-I'm going to cast a "Divine Barrier" on myself! Then, I'll loudly ask it "What're you looking at"?我、我要先给自己加一个“圣光之盾”！然后大声问它，你瞅啥！

KrolikAre you a Paladin or a hooligan... I'm going to sneak behind it and set up a sneak attack!你那是圣武士还是地痞啊……我选择潜行，绕到它背后，准备背刺！

ColphneOoh, imaginative! Stealth check, Krolik!哇！很有想法的选择！那么克罗丽科，请投一个潜行判定！

(I clear my throat, grabbing their attention.)（我清了清嗓子，吸引了她们的注意。）

CommanderLooks like you're having fun.看来你们玩得很开心啊。

ColphneOh! It's you, Commander! Wanna join in?呀！是指挥官！您也要来一起玩吗？

ColphneYou see, Commander, I'm one hell of a game master!寇尔芙我啊，可是超——厉害的游戏主持人哦！

KrolikDidn't you insist that we call you "dungeon master" earlier?你不是坚持要我们称呼你叫城主的吗……

CommanderOf course.当然。

CommanderI've brought a new player with me, too.而且，我还带来了一位新玩家。

(I turn aside, introducing Voymastina to everyone.)（我侧过身，将身后的威玛西娜介绍给众人。）

(The previously lively atmosphere at the table seems to falter for a second.)（一瞬间，桌上原本热烈的气氛，似乎冷却了半秒。）

(For my sake, though, Colphne immediately smiles brightly in the way an expert salesman would.)（但看在我的面子上，寇尔芙还是立刻露出了营业式的灿烂笑容。）

ColphneO-of course, everyone's welcome!当、当然欢迎啦！

ColphneAre you here to experience the joy of roleplaying too, Miss Voymastina?威玛西娜小姐也想来体验角色扮演的乐趣吗？

ColphneHere, a character sheet. A chance to create a character like no other!来来来，这是角色卡，您可以创造一个属于自己的独一无二的角色哦！

Voymastina...……

Commander...Voymastina?……威玛西娜？

CommanderWill you play with us?能跟我们一起玩吗？

(Truth be told, when I pose the question, I am rather nervous. Thankfully, Voymastina only remains silent for a moment instead of rejecting me outright.)（说实话，我问出这个问题的时候，是相当紧张的，令我感到庆幸的是，威玛西娜只是沉默了一会，但并没有拒绝。）

(She accepts the sheet and pencil, silently sitting down and beginning to... seriously contemplate the thick rules book, as if studying something.)（她接过角色卡和铅笔，沉默地坐下，开始以一种……做研究般的认真态度，阅读起了那本厚厚的规则书。）

Krolik...Ahem, you can reference my sheet here.……咳嗯，我的卡给你参考一下。

Qiuhua...I-if there's anything you don't get, you can ask me!……有、有看不懂的地方，尽管问我哦！

QiuhuaWhat class do you want to play? Should I tell you how to make a good build?想玩什么职业？我来告诉你怎么构筑比较厉害吧？

ColphneShould we coordinate the backstories?背景故事要和她们联动一下吗？

ColphneWe're just about to enter the dungeon, so we could make something up to inject her in.现在倒是刚好在进入地城之前，可以编个情节临时乱入进来。

(The three halted in their tracks to varying degrees when Voymastina first appeared, but they all began to put up welcoming fronts.)（……尽管在威玛西娜刚刚出现的时候，三人都明显出现了程度不一的僵硬，但很快，她们就摆出了欢迎的姿态。）

(Of course, part of it is because I notified them of the situation beforehand. Rather, them becoming nervous at the sight of her even with previous warning—this speaks volumes about their perception of Voymastina.)（这当然也有我提前跟她们说好了的成分在，倒不如说，在提前知道的情况下，看到威玛西娜的瞬间，她们还是紧张了一下，已经显示出威玛西娜如今在大家心中是个什么形象了。）

Commander(...)（……）

Commander(The results seem alright, though...)（……但是结果还不错……）

(The others are enthusiastically trying to get in touch with her, trying to befriend her.)（大家并没有讨厌威玛西娜，不如说，每个人都积极地想要跟她接触，想要跟她成为朋友。）

(The three present, Colphne, Krolik, and Qiuhua all begin to display the outgoing parts of their personalities, trying to get Voymastina involved.)（现在在这里的寇尔芙、克罗丽科还有秋桦，都迅速地展示出了性格中外向的一面，试图与威玛西娜打成一片。）

(Voymastina doesn't appear to resist their efforts very much. At least, she sits down to join the game.)（而威玛西娜，也没有表现出强烈的抗拒，至少，她坐了下来，也加入了游戏。）

(...I had thought this would be a good start to things.)（……我原以为，这会是一个好的开始。）

(I thought that she was only missing a chance to communicate with everyone.)（我原以为，她只是缺少一个和大家交流的契机。）

(I soon discover how ridiculously wrong I am—if the problem were that simple, then Alva would've solved it long ago.)（然而，我很快就发现，我错得有多么离谱——如果问题真有那么简单，那么埃芙早就已经解决了。）

ColphneThen, Miss Voymastina, what class will your character be? We have a courageous warrior, a mysterious caster, and a...那么，威玛西娜小姐，请决定你的角色职业吧？我们有英勇的战士，神秘的法师，还有……

VoymastinaI've perused the comparative tables in addendum seven of the rules book.我查阅了规则书附录七的综合数据对比表。

VoymastinaNot considering boosts from special equipment, a dual-wielding thief has the most expected DPR amongst the available initial options.在不考虑特殊装备加成的前提下，“双持武器的盗贼”，是初始模板中，单回合伤害输出期望值最高的选择。

VoymastinaI'll go with this.我选这个。

ColphneUh... a-alright! A very... efficient option! What about your character's backstory, then?呃……好、好的！很有……效率的选择呢！那么，你的角色背景故事是？

VoymastinaThe backstory is purely for reference, not necessary for gameplay, and does not affect the character's strength.背景故事是参考数据，并无强制需求，也不影响角色强度。

VoymastinaI've opted to skip it.我选择跳过。

(As the game progresses, Voymastina's "unique" style of playing begins to stick out more and more.)（随着游戏的进行，威玛西娜那“特立独行”的风格便显得越发扎眼。）

(As Qiuhua ponders how her character would react and respond in the moment, Voymastina has already kicked open the door, beginning the encounter.)（当秋桦还在苦于思考她的角色应该做出怎样的反应和演出的时候，威玛西娜直接踹开了房间的大门，强制触发了战斗。）

(Outside of combat encounters, Voymastina remains silent in every social encounter that necessitates conversation or other communication, her only in-character words being "Follow me".)（在战斗以外的场合，几乎所有应该和NPC进行对话、交涉和其他社交行为的地方，威玛西娜都沉默不语，说出的最多的台词就是“跟上”。）

(Finally, when Voymastina requests to attempt to steal from the merchant, Qiuhua is the first to throw away her character sheet.)（最终，威玛西娜申请对商人进行偷窃动作的时候，秋桦第一个扔掉了自己的角色卡。）

Qiuhua...I can't do it anymore! I can't convince myself to not bash her head in anymore!……玩不下去了！我说服不了自己不动手砍她了！

QiuhuaWith all of the "ignoring my companions' foul deeds" I've done, no matter how much Colphne pads it out, I would've been branded an oathbreaker ages ago!对队友的恶行一而再再而三地视若无睹，就算寇尔芙再怎么放水，我也早该被算作破誓了！

KrolikSo many of the key NPCs are dead, too... all of the clues have gone cold...关键NPC都被踢门杀掉了好几个……线索都断了。

ColphneCommander, the plot I've written... I, I don't think I can continue...指挥官……我、我设计的剧情……好像……进行不下去了……

(...The formerly lively game ends on a dismal note and a certain coldness fills the air.)（……原本热闹的桌子，以不欢而散为结局，转眼变得冷清。）

(All of my maneuvering cannot prevent the downward spiral.)（即便我从中反复周旋，也无法挽回这急转直下的颓势。）

(No matter how passionate Krolik, Qiuhua, and Colphne are, all they can do under these circumstances is pack up and leave with awkward expressions on their face.)（克罗丽科、秋桦，还有寇尔芙，再怎么热情，在这种情况下，也都只能各自带着尴尬的表情，纷纷离席。）

(After they all find excuses to leave, only Voymastina and I are left in the room.)（在她们各自找借口离开后，休息区里，只剩下了我和威玛西娜两个人。）

VoymastinaSorry, Commander.抱歉，指挥官。

(At the sight, even Voymastina can understand that she has messed something up, apologizing to me.)（见此情景，即便是威玛西娜也明白是自己搞砸了一些事，便主动向我道歉。）

(There is no regret in her voice, but not because her apology is half-hearted. It's just that... she treats it more like submitting a failed mission report.)（但她的语气里却听不出歉意，并不是说她在敷衍，只是……更像是在提交一份任务失败的报告。）

VoymastinaAll of my actions were within the boundaries of the game and aimed towards achieving the final goal of "victory".我的所有行动，均在游戏规则许可的框架内，以达成“胜利”这一最终目标为导向。

VoymastinaI had no intention of ruining the others' fun, but they didn't seem to think so.我无意破坏他人的兴致，但似乎其他人员并不这么想。

Commander...You're not very interested in fixing up relations with everyone, are you?……你对和大家搞好关系这件事，似乎兴趣不大？

VoymastinaCorrect.是的。

(She admits it quickly in no unclear terms.)（她承认得很快，也很坦然。）

VoymastinaI only participated in this activity to assist you with the "favor".我之所以会参与，仅是遵从您“请我帮忙”的指示。

VoymastinaIt appears that I have not been able to be of help.现在看来，我并没有帮上您的忙。

VoymastinaI have failed in my duty.是我的失职。

Commander...……

(I finally realize why she couldn't fit into the Elmo—it wasn't for lack of opportunity to break the ice.)（我看着她，终于意识到，威玛西娜无法融入艾莫号，根源并非是因为没有机会，或是缺少破冰的契机这么简单的事。）

(It's because she never intended to "fit in" in the first place.)（而是她自身，从一开始就没有“融入”的想法。）

(...No matter what, I manage to figure one thing out.)（……不论如何，我还是明白了一件事。）

(My understanding of Voymastina... is far too lacking.)（我对威玛西娜的了解，实在是太少了。）

(...)（……）

(After realizing that conventional methods won't solve the problem with Voymastina, I decide to take a step back, learning in depth about her problems before working on a solution.)（在我意识到用常规手段无法解决威玛西娜的问题之后，我决定先沉下心来，试着去深入了解威玛西娜的问题所在，再去寻找解决的办法。）

(If Voymastina simply prefers to be by her lonesome, unbothered by others, then I would respect that way of life and refrain from forcing her to improve relations with others.)（倘若威玛西娜真的就只是单纯地喜欢一个人呆着，不愿跟别人有太多牵扯，那么我也会尊重这种生活方式，不再强行试着让她和其他人搞好关系。）

(But considering that this is a request from Alva, I don't think that she would be so terribly wrong on matters related to Voymastina... So, chances are that there is something I don't understand just yet.)（但这是埃芙的委托，而我并不认为埃芙会连威玛西娜的想法都搞错……所以，多半是有什么我没有发现的事情。）

Commander...Those were the conclusions I came to after that day.……这就是，那天之后，我想明白的事。

CommanderI made some further preparations, or rather, a preemptive investigation.之后，我为此又做了一些准备，或者说，提前调查。

AlvaHm... I see what you mean now. What did you learn from your investigation?嗯……我明白您的想法了，所以，您调查的结论是？

CommanderOn a day off, I observed her while remaining undetected... at least, I would hope so.那天之后，我利用了一个休息日，在不被她察觉的情况下……至少我认为没有被察觉啦。

CommanderIndeed... it was an entire day of observation.就是……进行了一整天的观察。

CommanderThe results of the day... certainly shocked me.观察的结果……令我相当震惊。

AlvaDid she do anything that surprised you?她做了什么让您惊讶的事吗？

CommanderNo, nothing at all. That's what shocked me.没有，完全没有，就是因为这样我才惊讶。

CommanderHer routine is precise, regulated, but hollow to a terrifying degree.她的日程，精准、规范，却也空洞得可怕。

(Alva's expression doesn't change a single bit. One would think that she knows this from the very beginning.)（埃芙的表情没有任何变化，我觉得她一开始就知道这个结果了。）

Commander...At 6 a.m. on the dot, she "awoke" from the capsule in her dormitory.……清晨六点整，她从宿舍的休眠舱中准时“苏醒”。

CommanderThe moment her systems are ready, she linked up to the Elmo central database, checking her daily tasks.心智启动的第一件事，是连接艾莫号中央数据库，检查当日任务。

CommanderAfter ensuring that no tasks had been assigned, she didn't proceed to the canteen or go to the public area to relax like the others do.在确认“无任务”后，她没有像其他人那样，去餐厅吃点东西，或是去公共区放松一下。

CommanderShe headed straight for the training grounds.而是直接去了训练场。

CommanderFor four whole hours, she proceeded with intense firing and CQB training.整整四个小时，她都在进行着高强度的、重复的射击与格斗训练。

CommanderWhen noon came, she still did not go to the canteen, instead heading to the Garage.到了中午，她也没有去餐厅，而是直接去了格纳库。

CommanderFor the span of three hours, she proceeded to maintain, clean, and test the "Sinbreaker" inside and out.花了三个小时，把“断罪者”从里到外，保养、擦拭、调试了一遍。

CommanderAfterwards, she returned to her dormitory, without partaking in a single recreational activity. She did not even turn on the lights in her dorm.结束之后，她返回宿舍，没有进行任何娱乐活动，甚至没有打开房间的灯。

CommanderShe simply leaned into a corner of the room, closing her eyes and entered standby mode.她只是靠在墙角，闭上眼睛，进入了低功率的待机假寐状态。

CommanderThis continued until 6 a.m. the following day, at which point the cycle repeated... Ullrid helped me with continuing the observations. I did not see the rest myself, but I believe it to be true.直到第二天清晨六点，再次循环往复……后续是乌尔丽德帮我观察的，我没有亲眼去看，但我相信是真的。

CommanderNo meals, no chatter, no hobbies. Not a single unnecessary action.没有三餐，没有闲聊，没有爱好，没有任何多余的行为。

CommanderShe only exists in two states. "Mission" and "Standby".她的生活里，仿佛只剩下了“任务”和“待机”这两个选项。

CommanderWhat happened that day first made me think Voymastina didn't want to be too closely linked to the Elmo's Dolls.那天发生的事情，本来让我以为，威玛西娜只是不愿与艾莫号的人形有太深的关联。

CommanderBut now, I see that she simply doesn't have any habits that we consider to be "human" on a fundamental level.但现在我才明白，她是从根源上，便缺少了作为“人”的生活习惯。

CommanderIt does fit the impression she's always given off, but I never imagined it was to this extent.这的确符合她一贯给人的印象，但我没想到，竟然已经到了如此极端的程度。

CommanderI once said that you were very similar to a human based on my evaluations. I didn't think your partner, on the other hand, would be on the exact opposite end of the spectrum.我曾经说过，我觉得你很像人类，没想到，你的搭档居然和你走的是截然不同的另一个极端……

CommanderVoymastina is almost certainly the individual that fits the human stereotype of Dolls the most.威玛西娜，恐怕是我见过的，最符合人们对“人形”的刻板印象的人形了。

CommanderCan't help but wonder if she's genuinely emotionless.也不禁让人怀疑，她是不是真的没有感情。

CommanderBut...但是……

CommanderGiven your years as her partner, you'd know if that were really the case.……你和她搭档了这么长时间，相处了这么久，如果这真的是答案，你不可能不知道。

CommanderThat's where the problem lies. If I understood you one bit, you would've tried to change her a long time ago. For her to be still the way she is, either your attempts ended in failure, or there's simply something I'm not aware of yet.如果这就是问题所在，那以我对你的了解，你肯定早就尝试过改变她了，而她如今却还是这副样子，说明要么就是你的尝试失败了，要么，就是还有什么是我没发现的。

CommanderIf the former was true, then it would be beyond my power. If you, the person she's most familiar with, couldn't manage it over the course of a decade, then I would never think myself capable of changing her.如果是前者，我觉得我也爱莫能助，连你这个她最亲密的人花了十年都没做到的事，我还没有自以为是到觉得我能改变她。

CommanderSo, the conclusion I've arrived at is that Voymastina has only shown us what she wants us to see.所以，我的结论是，威玛西娜的表现，只是她希望让我们看到的结果。

CommanderShe has to be hiding something... And that's the access point I need.她肯定在隐瞒什么……这就是我需要的突破点。

CommanderIf she has "something to hide", there must be an inherent emotion that underlies that.因为“想要隐瞒”，就证明她肯定有某种情绪。

Commander"Dolls" don't have things to hide, do they?“人形”不会有隐瞒的念头，对吧？

Alva...……

(Alva stands silent for some time, slowly raising her head and smiling unexpectedly.)（埃芙沉默了许久，缓缓地抬起了头，露出了一个令我有些意外的微笑。）

Alva...I knew I was right to leave this matter with you, Commander.……我就知道，把这件事交给您是正确的，指挥官。

AlvaYou're pretty close to the truth... Ah, there is a saying that humans use, namely "to untie a knot, you must find who tied it"... That would summarize the situation we're currently facing.您的猜想很接近正确答案了……嗯，人类有句俗语，叫做“解铃还须系铃人”……现在，我们面临的就是这样的情况了。

Commander...What do you mean?……什么意思？

(Her ever-so-slightly mysterious smile confuses me somewhat.)（看着笑容中带着一丝神秘的埃芙，我有些迷茫。）

Bared Edge 3 无鞘之刃3

(The tabletop game orchestrated by the Commander with the goal of "encouraging team cohesion" has ended on an unhappy note.)（那场由指挥官主导的、旨在“促进团队建设”的桌面游戏，最终还是以不欢而散收场了。）

(As a precautionary measure, we notified the others beforehand to refrain from coming to the café for the time being. This was to create the best environment possible for recreation with Miss Voymastina.)（虽然当时，出于谨慎考虑，我们提前告知了其他人，让大家暂时不要到咖啡厅来，以制造能够安心和威玛西娜小姐娱乐的场地。）

(Unfortunately, the results leave plenty to be desired.)（但结果，依然不尽如人意。）

Springfield(Sigh)...唉……

(As Krolik, Colphne, and Qiuhua took their leave with varying degrees of frustration and dejection on their faces, I stood behind the bar, wiping a coffee mug that had just been cleaned.)（当寇尔芙、克罗丽科和秋桦小姐她们带着有些沮丧和尴尬的表情离开时，我就站在吧台后，擦拭着一只刚刚洗净的咖啡杯。）

(From this position, details of little import in any way, shape, or form to others often reveal themselves to me.)（站在这个位置，我总能看到很多其他人，不留意、不在乎、也不会发觉的细节。）

(And so when the sight of Miss Voymastina, that figure which cares precious little for her surroundings in that solitary corner, comes into my sight yet another time... I can't help but sigh soundlessly deep down.)（所以，当我不知道第多少次看到那个独自坐在角落，对周遭一切漠不关心的身影——威玛西娜小姐时，心中还是不禁泛起一丝无声的叹息。）

Centaureissi...If even the Commander's approach is a failure, I can't imagine that there's anything we can do.……连指挥官的计策都失败了，我觉得我们大概也做不了什么。

MakiattoAt least we can communicate with Alva, isn't that good enough?起码埃芙还是个能沟通的，这不就行了吗？

SpringfieldOh, that's no good.可不能说这种话哦。

SpringfieldIt's our responsibility to share the Commander's worries.替指挥官分忧，本来就是我们的工作。

SpringfieldAnd... even if Miss Alva is more approachable and pleasant, Miss Voymastina is still a part of us here.而且……虽然埃芙小姐的确更平易近人、更亲切一些，但那不代表，威玛西娜小姐就不是我们的一份子了。

SpringfieldIf it's possible, I'd certainly like to get along with her.如果可以，我还是希望能跟她也好好相处的。

MakiattoIs that even possible...?做得到吗……？

SpringfieldI only make favorable bets... Well, I at least think we can win.我不会下无谋的赌注哦……嗯，至少我觉得是有胜算的吧。

Makiatto...Whatever. Just don't stir too much trouble.……随便你吧，但可别惹出什么难收场的麻烦啊。

CentaureissiYou, saying that to the Manager? Never thought the day would come.真没想过，有一天会由玛绮朵你来提醒店长这种话。

MakiattoS-shut up!啰，啰嗦！！

SpringfieldHehe...呵呵……

(...I hope so desperately that everything will go well.)（……我衷心希望，一切能够顺利。）

(...)（……）

(That evening, I made sure to prepare some extra ingredients, then made for the Garage by myself.)（这天晚上，我特意多准备了一些备用的食材，然后独自前往了格纳库。）

(Unsurprisingly, I found her there.)（果不其然，我在那里找到了她。）

(Placing her weight upon the gigantic armor she calls "Sinbreaker", she rests with her eyes closed in low-power standby.)（她正靠在她那台名为“断罪者”的巨大外骨骼装甲旁，闭着眼睛，进入了低功率的待机模式。）

(As if she were one with the frigid machine of war next to her, the picture painted before me is one of absolute solitude, inviolable by any who would dare.)（她与那台冰冷的战争机器，仿佛融为了一体，构成了一幅外人无法踏足的、绝对孤独的画面。）

(Even I feel a modicum of pressure before her.)（面对她，即便是我也感到了一丝压力。）

(She radiates a pure, unblemished aura of denial.)（那是一种纯粹的、不含杂质的“拒绝”气场。）

(I take a deep breath, presenting the most amiable smile I can as I approach.)（我深吸了一口气，脸上挂起最柔和的微笑，走上前去。）

SpringfieldGood evening, Miss Voymastina.威玛西娜小姐，晚上好。

SpringfieldMight I have a moment of your time?能占用您一点时间吗？

(Her eyes open, revealing two flames that drill into me without as much as a shiver, their red hue vivid beneath the Garage's murky lighting.)（她睁开眼，那双赤红色的眼眸在格纳库昏暗的灯光下，像两点燃烧的炭火，毫无波澜地看着我。）

VoymastinaSpeak.讲。

SpringfieldAllow me to explain.是这样的。

SpringfieldThe Commander wanted something to drink before bed, but I can't quite manage everything on my own. I wanted to ask you to come to the bar and assist me. Would that be ok?指挥官睡前想喝点东西，但我一个人有点忙不过来，想请您来吧台帮我一下，可以吗？

(I know that mentioning the Commander would be the only way to create a crack in that uncaring front of hers.)（我知道，只有提及“指挥官”，才有可能让她那对什么都不在乎的模样，产生一丝松动。）

(I cannot say for certain whether the cause is her adherence to command as a soldier or if something else is mixed in, but I can be quite sure that there is special treatment involved.)（我并不能断言，这是她单纯作为军人的服从性，还是掺杂了一些别的什么东西，但至少我能肯定，这是确实存在的特殊对待。）

(As I expected, she stands up after a brief moment of silence.)（果然，她沉默了片刻，最终还是站起了身。）

Voymastina...Ok.……好。

(I bring her back to the Zucchero, its premises empty in the dead of night. The warm lights cast an ambience in this corner of the world, an island disconnected from the rest of reality.)（我带着她，回到了夜晚空无一人的“方糖”咖啡店。暖色的灯光将这个角落映照得如同一个与世隔绝的温馨孤岛。）

(I do not have her help me with anything, instead gesturing that she sit at the bar.)（我没有真的让她帮忙，而是示意她坐到吧台前。）

VoymastinaYour goals?你的目的？

(She cuts straight to the chase, as if already aware of the truth behind my "excuse". Yes, indeed, it would be most difficult to get anything past those eyes of hers.)（她开门见山，似乎对我的“借口”早已觉察——嗯，看来想要骗过那对眼睛，的确是非常困难的事情。）

(Even so, she agreed to come, which is a positive development... Regardless of whether it was curiosity, or benevolence.)（但即便看穿了我的谎言，她依然同意跟过来，这也是一个好的现象……不论是基于好奇，还是善意。）

SpringfieldEhe, direct as always, Miss Voymastina.呵呵，威玛西娜小姐还是这么直接呢。

(I smile, not directly answering. I produce a bottle of vodka, a can of black peppers, and an old-fashioned rocks glass with a ball of ice inside.)（我笑了笑，没有立刻回答，而是从酒柜里，拿出了一瓶伏特加，一罐黑胡椒，和一个装着巨大冰球的古典杯。）

(This is one of her very few private habits that I've managed to observe thus far.)（这是迄今为止，我观察到的，她为数不多属于私人的习惯。）

(I pour the spirits into the tumbler, grinding in a light touch of pepper before presenting her with it.)（我熟练地将烈酒倒入杯中，再轻轻研磨了一些胡椒进去，推到了她的面前。）

SpringfieldI just wanted to treat you to a drink and have a chat.我只是想请您喝一杯，顺便聊一聊而已。

(She contemplates the cup of liquor in silence for some time. She eventually takes it in her hands, downing it in one motion.)（她看着那杯酒，沉默了许久，最终还是端了起来，一饮而尽。）

VoymastinaAbout what?聊什么？

SpringfieldAbout anything, really.聊什么都可以。

SpringfieldYour past combat experiences, life on the Elmo...聊聊您过去的战斗，聊聊艾莫号的生活……

SpringfieldOr maybe why you shut yourself in all the time.或者，聊聊您为什么，总是把自己一个人关起来。

Voymastina...……

(My words are met with nothing in return; the call to adventure refused.)（我的话语，像是投进了一口深不见底的、结了冰的枯井，听不到一丝回响。）

(She only drinks in silence, declining to answer.)（她只是沉默地喝着酒，没有回答我的任何问题。）

SpringfieldIn truth... something's always been off to me.其实……我一直觉得很奇怪。

Voymastina...……

(She does not respond once more. However, she is doubtlessly listening to me. That is enough.)（她并不回应，但的确有在听我说话，我确信这样就足够了。）

SpringfieldBecause something's off about you, Miss Voymastina. Rather, some things just can't be explained.因为威玛西娜小姐的情况，显然有些异常，或者说，有不少说不通的地方。

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldYou're not truly emotionless. At least, as far as I can see, your bond with Miss Alva is nigh unbreakable.您并不是真的没有感情，至少，在我看来，您与埃芙小姐之间的羁绊就牢不可破。

SpringfieldThat being the case, why can't you get along with us?如果是这样，那为何无法跟我们搞好关系呢？

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldI considered many possibilities.我考虑过很多可能。

SpringfieldMaybe you're too prideful, and think we're just a bunch of useless weaklings, not worth communicating with?也许，您很高傲，觉得我们只是一群派不上用场的弱小人形，所以懒得跟我们交流？

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldNo, no. That's not true.不，不是的，并非如此。

SpringfieldThe others on the Elmo sometimes sortie with DEFY on missions.艾莫号上偶尔也有跟忤逆小队的两位一同出击，执行任务的同伴。

SpringfieldThey would testify that you're surprisingly caring on the battlefield, even often using your own frame as cover for others who are in danger.根据她们的证言，威玛西娜小姐在战场上，意外地相当照顾人，甚至常常用身体作为掩体，保护那些陷入危机的同伴。

Voymastina...It's just my duty.……只是职责。

SpringfieldIf you're not emotionless or contemptuous, could it just be that you're not good at expressing yourself?既然并不是没有感情，也不是轻蔑着我们，那莫非，只是单纯不善于表达吗？

SpringfieldThat's not too far from what the Commander and I thought at first, actually. That's how the incident before came to be—where we half-forced you to come along for a game of the social variety.其实，这个猜想也比较接近我和指挥官一开始的想法，所以，才会出现之前那种半强行地，拉您一起进行社交游戏的事情。

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldThe result gave us a massive surprise, though...但是结果，却让我们大跌眼镜……

(I examine her expression, looking for an opening or a hint of anxiety.)（我看着威玛西娜小姐的表情，试图看到一些动摇和破绽。）

(She only remains silent, tasting the heat within her glass.)（但她只是沉默着，品味着杯中的辛辣。）

Voymastina...That's just my style.……那就是我的风格。

SpringfieldReally?真的吗？

(I smile.)（我展露出了微笑。）

(A smile is a weapon more fitting for me than any bullet or blade.)（相比子弹与军刀，这才是更符合我的武器。）

SpringfieldPerhaps Commander, Colphne, and the others will agree.也许寇尔芙她们和指挥官也是这么认为的吧。

SpringfieldBut from my angle, I have a bit of a different view.但是，从我的角度看，稍微有一点点不同呢。

VoymastinaWhat are you trying to say?你想说什么？

(She finally raises her head, looking straight into me.)（她第一次抬起头，正视了我的脸。）

(Her burning eyes lend her a dangerous aura, even as they pull you in with their beauty.)（那双炽热的眼眸，看起来散发着危险的气息，却又令人觉得无比美丽。）

SpringfieldYou messed things up on purpose, didn't you?您是故意搞砸的吧？

Voymastina...……

Voymastina...I don't know what you're talking about.……我不明白你在说什么。

SpringfieldHehe... that's what someone backed into a corner would say, Miss Voymastina.呵呵……这是穷途末路的犯人的台词哦，威玛西娜小姐。

(I top up her now empty glass.)（我为她满上了空掉的酒杯。）

Springfield"Single-minded", "inflexible", "imperceptive of others' feelings"... most people wouldn't bat an eye if those tags were stuck onto you.“死脑筋”“不善变通”“不懂人心”……这些标签贴到您的身上，大概根本没有人会怀疑吧。

SpringfieldBut you see, it's rather easy to see into someone's heart through a role-playing game.但角色扮演游戏，的确是很容易能看出玩家性格的东西。

SpringfieldI just happen to have a friend who's rather clumsy in the way of words. That's how I came to know what someone who actually was no good with words would do in that situation...正因为我真的有一位木讷的朋友，所以我才更加了解，真正不擅长的人，在那种时候会做什么。

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldWhy did you not choose a more stable, boring mode of operation?为什么您没有选择更稳妥，但是也更无聊的行动模式呢？

SpringfieldSimply repeating "Follow me" and only participating in combat might be boring, but no one would be able to reasonably demand more of you. You are a beginner to the game, after all, and not good at communicating with others.如果一直重复“跟上”，只在战斗回合根据规则参与战斗，虽然无趣，但也没有任何人能够非难您，毕竟您本来就是新手，又不擅长与人交流。

SpringfieldWhat you did instead was choose the more excessive and bothersome courses of action, over and over again.但您所做的，是大量的、多余的、惹人生厌的行为。

(Her eyes visibly contract. I might not be able to feel it, but I have no doubt I'm being scrutinized currently.)（她的眼睛出现了明显的收缩，虽然我感觉不到，但此时我一定正在被检索扫描吧。）

SpringfieldIf that was you missing the mark with your efforts while trying to actively participate, I'm sure the Commander would have been happy.如果这是您积极想要参与，但是却不着要领的表现，指挥官也会感到高兴吧。

SpringfieldBut that isn't the truth. I only saw you drawing the others' ire, rejecting their kindness, and filing all of it under your personal inadequacies with socializing... The Commander wouldn't deny you that either, because he has always been accommodating.但是，并非如此，我只能看到，您故意惹人讨厌，将他人的善意推开，再将此归结为您待人处事上的缺憾……这样的话，指挥官也不能提出反对，因为那个人总是很温柔的。

SpringfieldWhat exactly are you scared of?您……是在害怕什么呢？

SpringfieldIs it something troubling to you, the establishment of more intimate relationships?与人建立亲密关系，对您来说是让人烦恼的事吗？

(Swish—)（唰——）

Voymastina...……

(She gazes at me coldly, like a mastiff focusing its attention on a delectable hare.)（她冷冷地看着我，就像獒犬凝视着一只诱人的野兔。）

Voymastina...You've taken enough of my time.……你占用的时间，已经够多了。

SpringfieldMiss Voymastina.威玛西娜小姐。

(This reaction of hers only affirms my faith in my guesswork.)（看到她的反应，我更加肯定，我的猜想果然是正确的。）

(I am perhaps only a single step away from touching that mass of darkness.)（距离触碰到那团黑暗，也许只剩下一步之遥。）

SpringfieldI know that you have your own reasons...……我知道，您一定有自己的想法。

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldBut if you ever have any troubles or worries, please do not hesitate to speak to me.但如果您有什么烦恼，或是担心的事，都可以告诉我。

SpringfieldWhatever it may be, I'd be happy to listen.不论是什么话，我都会好好听您说的。

Voymastina...……

SpringfieldSo long as there is trust, I believe that any obstacle can be traversed.只要拥有信赖关系，我相信，不论是怎样的障碍，都一定能够跨越。

SpringfieldMiss Voymastina...威玛西娜小姐……

SpringfieldWould you trust me?您信任我吗？

("Trust".)（“信任”。）

(Voymastina treats the Commander and Miss Alva in a much different way compared to the other Dolls.)（威玛西娜对待指挥官的方式，对待埃芙小姐的方式，和对待其他人形截然不同。）

(That's where I believe the difference lies. I might not know the reason, but Miss Voymastina is likely the type to struggle with trusting anyone else.)（我认为，其中的差别，就在这里——尽管我不知道理由，但威玛西娜小姐，恐怕是很难建立对他人信任的类型。）

(So, to get through to her, I'll have to take it step by step and slowly...)（所以，想要突破她的心房，只能一步步，慢慢地，与她建立……）

Voymastina...……

(In that instant, I discover that I have made a mistake. A very, very grave mistake.)（而那一瞬间，我立刻发现，我犯下了一个错误，非常，严重的错误。）

(The moment those words leave my mouth, the air around Voymastina suddenly changes in a shocking manner.)（当我的话语说出口的瞬间，威玛西娜身上的气氛出现了惊人的变化。）

"BANG!!"“嘭！！”

Voymastina...!!…………………………！！！！

(I don't know what exactly sets off the beast in front of me—This isn't a fury born from having one's secrets exposed, but an altogether different emotion.)（我并不知道我的话哪里触怒了眼前的猛兽——这并不像是被戳破了秘密的恼羞成怒，而是，另一种，别的什么情绪。）

(She can obviously no longer hold back her anger. With her strength, one slam is enough to pulverize a table by the bar.)（她的自制力显然已经无法遏制她的愤怒，以她的力量，这泄愤的一掌，直接将吧台旁的一张圆桌拍了个粉碎。）

SpringfieldMiss Voyma...威玛西娜小……

VoymastinaShut up.闭嘴。

VoymastinaNo more.不准，说话。

VoymastinaNot a single word.一个字，也别说。

(...I come to an understanding in that moment.)（……那一瞬间，我理解了。）

(In front of me is not an isolated companion, but an angered beast, intent on its next victim.)（这一刻，我面对的，不再是一个孤僻的同伴，而是一头被激怒的、择人而噬的野兽。）

(I messed up—)（搞砸了——）

(As that thought takes over my mind, a calm yet powerful voice fills the room.)（就在我心智中闪过这个念头的瞬间，一个冷静而又充满力量的声音忽然响起。）

CommanderStop, Voymastina.威玛西娜，住手。

Voymastina...……

(The Commander has appeared in the room at some point, quickly approaching us.)（指挥官不知何时已经出现在了这个空间内，并且迅速走向了我们两人。）

(Voymastina seems to have returned to sanity, the murder in the air quickly dissipating, like a freshly popped balloon.)（威玛西娜似乎也取回了理智，那暴虐的气息如同被戳破的气球一般，迅速地消散了。）

Voymastina...Sorry.…………抱歉。

CommanderSpringfield, go rest.春田，你先去休息吧。

CommanderI'll handle this.这里交给我。

SpringfieldBut, Commander...可是，指挥官……

CommanderDon't worry.放心。

(No matter when, the Commander's voice always makes me feel at ease.)（不论何时，指挥官的声音，都让我感到无比的安心。）

(I nod. Before leaving, I glance with worry again at Voymastina. She stands in place, silent and perfectly still, the spitting image of a child awaiting reprimand.)（我点了点头，在离开前，担忧地看了一眼那个重新陷入沉默、像个做错事的孩子一样站在原地的威玛西娜。）

(The Commander turns to her.)（指挥官看向了她。）

Commander...Let's get some air on the deck.……去甲板上吹吹风吧。

(...)（……）

(The frigid night air chills to the bone, blowing away the stagnant air that lingered around us from the café.)（夜风冰冷刺骨，吹散了刚才休息室里那紧张到几乎凝固的空气。）

(We stand silently, looking towards the endless ocean of sand ahead.)（我们沉默地站着，看着远方无尽的沙海。）

VoymastinaMy apologies, Commander...抱歉，指挥官……

VoymastinaI didn't intend to...我并非刻意要……

CommanderIt's fine.没事。

(I wave my hand.)（我摆了摆手。）

CommanderSpringfield is a very approachable person. She doesn't do what she does without being prepared for the possibilities.春田是个很温柔的人，而且，正因为她经常做这种事，所以也都做好了觉悟。

Commander"When one prods at others' weaknesses, one must be ready for their anger." She said as much herself.“总是不断刺激别人的弱点，就要做好被发火的准备”，这话是她自己说的。

CommanderShe usually doesn't overdo it, but it looks like even she messes it up sometimes.大多数时候，她都能把握好度，但看来就算是她，也会有搞砸的时候。

Voymastina...……

CommanderShe's incredible, though... I never imagined that she'd be able to get so far along by herself.但她也真了不起……没想到光凭自己，就能把事情摸到这个地步。

CommanderIf I discussed this with her from the very beginning, we probably would've found a better solution.如果我一开始就找她商量，应该有更妥当的处理办法的。

VoymastinaI don't understand.我不明白。

CommanderI heard it from Alva.我听埃芙说了。

(I look in her direction.)（我看向她。）

CommanderAlva said you were against looking for new members for DEFY, right?埃芙说，你反对为忤逆小队寻找新队员，对吗？

(She remains silent for a moment. I can see my reflection clearly in her crimson pupils.)（她沉默了片刻。赤红色的眼眸中，我的倒影清晰可见。）

Voymastina...Yes.……是。

VoymastinaThat was what I said.我说过这样的话。

CommanderWhy?为什么？

VoymastinaBecause it is unnecessary. Alva and I are sufficient for most missions, and with "her" help...因为没有必要，我和埃芙足够完成大部分任务，还有“她”的辅助……

CommanderThat's not the important part, is it?这不是重点，对吧？

CommanderThe real reason is that you're afraid.真正的原因是，你在害怕。

Voymastina...I don't understand.……我不明白。

CommanderWhat I'm going to say next is just my guesswork.接下来的话，都是我自己瞎猜的。

CommanderIf I'm wrong, you're allowed to get mad at me just like you did at Springfield just now.如果我说错了，你也可以像刚才对春田那样对我发火。

CommanderYou can also beat me up if you'd like.想揍我也可以。

Voymastina...I promise I will not.……我保证不会。

CommanderVoymastina, you...威玛西娜，你啊……

(I hesitate, trying to find the words. After significant consideration, though, I realize that no words can veil what I'm about to suggest.)（我犹豫着想要找一个恰当的说法，但沉思良久之后，我意识到，没有任何语言可以用于修饰我即将说出的猜想。）

(I prepare to face her anger, sighing before opening my mouth.)（我做好了真的被她发火的准备，叹了口气，缓缓开口。）

Commander...Still can't forget about RPK-16, can you?……还是忘不掉RPK16，对吗？

Bared Edge 4 无鞘之刃4

Voymastina...……

(Voymastina falls into an extended silence as I speak straightforwardly.)（面对我直白的话语，威玛西娜陷入了长久的沉默。）

(The night wind has gotten no warmer. I must continue, even if what I was saying was an unspeakable cruelty to the one who stood before me.)（夜风依旧冰冷，但我却不能停下，我必须说下去，即便这对眼前的人而言是一种无比残忍的行为。）

CommanderI've read the archives, Voymastina.我调阅了你们的档案，威玛西娜。

(Nothing too confidential, of course. Just publicly available combat records and personnel changes.)（当然，不是什么机密资料，只是一些公开的战斗记录和人事变动。）

(Most of the details were filled in by Alva herself.)（大部分的细节，还是埃芙本人补充的。）

Voymastina...……

CommanderYour creator bestowed upon you the expectation to be the "strongest Doll", and you chose to meet that expectation.你的创造者，在你身上，赋予了“最强人形”的期望，而你也选择了不去辜负她。

CommanderYou carried your assignment to perfection, becoming an efficient machine of war, feared by all.你将她的期望贯彻到底，的确就像一台精密的战争机器一样，令所有人都敬畏你。

CommanderCaring not for the affairs of the world, nor the minds of men, only executing your assigned missions with perfect logic.不谙世事，不懂人心，只会按照最优化的逻辑去执行任务。

Commander...And that's why you clashed with AK-12.……所以，你才会跟AK12出现冲突。

CommanderYou embodied the ideal of the strongest Doll and mightiest weapon to its logical conclusion, but your successor needed not bear the same burden.明明你将最强的人形、最强的武器的信念贯彻到了最后，结果，你的后继，却不必背负跟你一样的负担。

CommanderYou envied her, didn't you?你很嫉妒她，对吧？

Voymastina...I don't understand.……我不明白。

CommanderIt's alright if you don't. It isn't the point of what I'm saying.不明白也没关系，这也不是我想说的重点。

CommanderThe important thing is that you began to clash with AK-12, going as far as to have a proper duel. What was most unacceptable to you was that she actually defeated you.重点是，你因此和AK12起了冲突，甚至发展到死斗，而最让你无法接受的是，她真的击败了你。

CommanderYou were not discarded, you chose to back out yourself. Having given up so much already, what value was there left in you if you could not even be the finest weapon?你并没有被抛弃，是你自己选择了退出，因为……付出了那么多，却连作为武器都无法成为最强，那你的价值是什么？

CommanderYour head must've been full of those thoughts back then... I don't doubt that it was painful.你当时，应该满脑子都是这种事……那一定是很痛苦的经历。

CommanderThen, RPK-16 appeared.然后，RPK16出现了。

Voymastina......I don't understand.…………我不明白。

CommanderIn those two years partnered with RPK-16, you changed visibly.在和RPK16搭档的那两年里，你发生了肉眼可见的变化。

CommanderOn the outside you were as indestructible as always, but you softened in disposition significantly.虽然外表看起来依然坚不可摧，但性格已经柔和了很多。

CommanderYou learnt to think about others, to cooperate with them, and even how to reassure or encourage...你学会了为他人着想，学会了与同伴配合，甚至学会了安慰和鼓励……

CommanderYou began to think that building up relationships might not be such a bad thing, after all.你开始觉得，与人建立关系，并不是一件坏事。

CommanderMaybe, you don't need to truly be an emotionless weapon.也许，你也并不需要真的只做一个无情的武器。

CommanderYou got used to, and even began to enjoy this way of living.你开始习惯，甚至喜欢上这种生活方式。

Voymastina...……………………

CommanderThat was the case, until RPK-16 betrayed you.……直到，RPK16背叛了你们。

Voymastina...!……！

Commander...A devastating blow to all of us, to be sure.……对我们所有人来说，这都是莫大的伤害。

CommanderBut the one who was hurt most out of everyone was, without a doubt, you.但其中，最受伤害的，毫无疑问，是你。

CommanderWhen you needed her the most, she appeared. She gained your trust, and changed you with her influence.她在你最需要帮助的时候出现，获得了你的信任，你也在她的影响下，产生了改变。

CommanderIn DEFY, what she meant to you was irreplaceable.所以，在忤逆小队当中，她对你的意义是其他人比不了的。

Voymastina...Enough.……够了。

CommanderYou're not without emotions, Voymastina, you just repress them.你不是没有感情，威玛西娜，你只是一直在压抑自己的感情。

CommanderEveryone, especially Shaw, expected you to be the strongest beyond compare. So, you thought that you should naturally be free of emotions.因为所有人，尤其是肖，她们对你的期待都是最强的人形、最强的武器，所以你觉得你不应该有感情。

CommanderWhen even you yourself had gotten used to it, AK-12's appearance made you confused, angry, and unsure of what to do. Then, RPK-16 changed everything, then you put all of your trust in her.在你自己都习惯了这件事的时候，AK12的出现令你迷茫，愤怒，甚至不知所措，而RPK16改变了这一切，所以你对她付出了全部的信赖。

Voymastina...Enough!……够了！

(Voymastina doesn't move, but the pressure emanating from her is already enough to shake me.)（威玛西娜什么也没有做，但她身上的气势已经足够将我压垮。）

(If there existed a second human who could face down this furious metal beast without backing down, I should like to meet them.)（面对这样一座愤怒的铁塔而不退缩的人类，如果在这个世界还存在第二个，我一定要认识认识。）

Commander...That's why it hurts.……所以，才会痛苦。

CommanderHer betrayal stripped away the trust you had for others.她的背叛带走了你对他人的信任。

CommanderThe pain and anger from being betrayed after opening yourself up, you began to shy away from forming new relationships, insistent on only maintaining your existing ones.经历过一次敞开心扉，而后被背叛的痛苦和愤怒，让你开始回避新关系，固执地只愿维护已有的关系。

CommanderIf it wasn't for DEFY, who were at your side when you took revenge, you might not even have those relationships remaining.甚至如果不是忤逆小队还存在，不是因为你们是一同完成复仇的伙伴，你可能连这仅存的关系也会切断。

CommanderThat's why you're so opposed to finding new members.这就是为什么，你反对为忤逆小队寻找新队员。

CommanderThat's why you would rather be disliked than truly communicate with everyone on the Elmo.这就是为什么，你宁愿故意惹人讨厌，也不愿意真心与艾莫号的大家交流。

Voymastina...……

(As far as I can tell, she's very close to reaching her limits.)（我几乎以为她要压抑不住自己的愤怒了。）

(I begin to seriously contemplate my chances of survival after an attack from an enraged Voymastina.)（我开始认真地考虑，如果被盛怒的威玛西娜攻击，我有多少活下来的概率。）

(However... she only glares at me, unmoving.)（但……她只是看着我，但什么也没有做。）

VoymastinaI don't... understand.我不……明白。

(Her rancor blooms like a flash in the night, soon dissipating in the chill wind.)（她散发的戾气像是无根的浮萍，只在最初绽放，但极快地随着夜风消散。）

(Her eyes close.)（她闭上了眼。）

Commander...It's not your fault.……这不是你的错。

CommanderVoymastina, it's not your fault when you're betrayed by someone.威玛西娜，被人背叛，不是你的错。

Voymastina...……

CommanderI've been betrayed before, more than once.我也曾经历过被人背叛的事情，还不止一次。

CommanderBut I'll never let it overpower me.但那并不能打倒我。

CommanderIf you reject the possibility of new relationships just because your old ones were destroyed... you don't accomplish anything but limit your own vision.如果因为过去的关系被毁掉，就开始拒绝建立新的关系……那只会让自己的视野被限制，也无法真正地走出过去。

(I pat her on the shoulder.)（我轻轻拍了拍她的肩膀。）

CommanderChange doesn't happen overnight, and I won't force you.改变并非一朝一夕，我也不打算强迫你。

CommanderI just want you to think over it... Voymastina, you're stronger than you think.只是希望你多多考虑……威玛西娜，你比自己想象的要坚强。

Voymastina...……

(She doesn't give an answer, standing in place. I don't press her any further, turning to leave the deck.)（她没有回答，只是站在原地，我也没有继续逼迫，转身便离开了甲板。）

(On my way back to the garage, a figure emerges from the shadows to little surprise.)（而在我返回机库的时候，在阴影中，一个人影不出意外地从黑暗中现身。）

??...Sorry for the trouble.……辛苦您了。

CommanderYou were watching?……你一直在看吗？

AlvaHow can I simply wash my hands of something I asked for your aid with?这是我拜托您的事，我怎么能置身事外呢？

CommanderI suppose... but I can't help but feel it'd be better for you to tell her these things.说得也是……不过，我还是觉得，这些话应该由你亲自跟她说更好。

Alva...I could never.……我是不行的。

(Alva shakes her head.)（埃芙摇了摇头。）

AlvaThe same words from different people lead to different results.同样的话，出自不同的人，也会有不一样的效果。

AlvaBoth "her" and I... are in no position to talk about the past.我……还有“她”，都处于无法谈及过去的立场。

AlvaIt just so happens that we have you to say these things. Someone she trusts, but is unrelated to our internal bickering.恰恰只有您这个，能够让她信任，又与我们内部的纠葛无关的人，才能把这些话说出口。

AlvaI... I'm not like Voymastina and "her". I don't hate Na... RPK.我……我和威玛西娜，还有“她”不一样，我对娜……RPK并没有憎恨。

Alva"She" still can't find it in herself to forgive RPK, but I'm certain that "she" has always known that what RPK did was the right thing. "She" just can't and won't accept it.而“她”……“她”至今也无法原谅RPK，但我知道，“她”其实一直都清楚，RPK的所作所为是正确的，“她”只是……不能接受，也不会接受。

AlvaBut Voymastina...而威玛西娜……

CommanderHer situation is the messiest of all. She was the most influenced by it and the one with the most mental baggage.……威玛西娜的情况是最复杂的，她受到的影响最深，对这件事的执着也最深。

CommanderEven if one understands the facts of the situation, and sees right and wrong, this isn't something that can simply be put down, is it?这无关事情的真相，对错，哪怕什么都明白，也无法放下这份执念，对吗？

AlvaYep.是的。

AlvaI am to blame as the Leader here. I... I once thought that things would be fine like this. That there was no need to open that shared scar again.这也是我作为队长的失误，我……本来觉得，这样也好，没有必要特意去揭开我们共同的伤疤。

AlvaI only discovered my mistake after we came to the Elmo, and I saw Voymastina in that state.但来到艾莫号之后，看到威玛西娜那个样子，我才知道我犯了错。

AlvaThankfully, you're here.还好，有您在。

CommanderBy the way... there's something I don't really get.你说到这个……其实我搞不太明白。

CommanderVoymastina and I... Truth be told, we've never had much contact.我和威玛西娜……说实在的，也没有过那么多接触。

CommanderIf she was always like this... why do I have her trust in the first place?如果她一直处于这种状态，我……是为什么能得到她的信任的呢？

AlvaHehe.呵呵。

AlvaYou're someone Ange acknowledged, you know.因为您是安洁认同的人啊。

AlvaThe business with RPK might've stopped Voymastina from forming new relationships, but it also made her all the more appreciative of her existing ones.虽然因为RPK的事，让威玛西娜拒绝建立新的关系，但反过来说，她对已有的关系格外珍惜。

AlvaAnge acknowledged you, so she unconditionally trusts you, too. She thinks she would be doubting Ange if she didn't.安洁认同你，所以，她也无条件地相信你，否则的话，就像是在质疑安洁一样。

Commander...……

(Truth be told, I didn't know what to make of this.)（……我的心情实在有些复杂。）

AlvaDon't overthink it, even if it might sound like we're making a replacement for Ange out of you.没关系的，虽然这样的说法，就好像是把您当成了安洁的替代品。

AlvaNone of us actually think that way. At least, "she" and I know that you're someone we can trust with our ideals.但我们都没有这样想，至少我和“她”都很清楚，您就是值得我们托付理想的对象。

AlvaVoymastina... she's a little clumsy is all. After all, she can't even figure out what her own thoughts are on things.威玛西娜……也只是有些笨拙而已，毕竟，她是个连自己的想法都不能搞清楚的人。

AlvaHm... I do think she'll come around though.不过……嗯，我想她也会有新的转变吧。

CommanderI would hope so, considering the risks I took to say what I had to say.是啊，我都冒死谏言了，希望她能跟大家搞好关系。

Alva...That's not quite what I mean, but, well, I think she should be able to manage it. Improving relations, that is.……我并不是这个意思，不过，嗯，的确，应该能搞好吧，关系。

Commander?？

(Alva does not tell me what she means, leaving me to my confusion with only a "You'll see what I mean".)（我有些迷茫，但埃芙并没有告诉我她的言外之意，只是要我“敬请期待”。）

(...)（……）

(I'm unsure how much exactly that discussion influenced Voymastina, but she definitely did change.)（我并不知道那场夜谈究竟给威玛西娜带来了多少影响，但她确实有了一些改变。）

(She's still often by her lonesome, with few words to say and few appearances to make, just like the Voymastina we've always known.)（她依然我行我素，寡言少语，鲜与人接触，就像我们一直以来认识的威玛西娜。）

(But...)（但……）

Springfield...Sorry, what was that?……您说什么？

VoymastinaI'd like to apologize.我向你道歉。

(Without being invited by anyone, Voymastina appears in the public area one day, sitting down at the bar and initiating a conversation with Springfield.)（没有通过任何人的邀请，那一天，威玛西娜出现在了公共区，坐在吧台前，主动向春田搭话。）

VoymastinaI've already submitted the relevant documents to Miss Mayling. The replacement table & chair will be here later.我已经向美玲小姐提交了款项，用于赔偿的桌椅会在之后送到。

SpringfieldNo, there's no need to apologize. It was my fault in the first place.不，您不需要向我道歉，原本，也是我的过错。

VoymastinaYou did no wrong. The military needs people like you.你没有错，军队中需要你这样的人。

Springfield...I see.……我明白了。

VoymastinaYou're like someone I used to know, but better than her.……你很像我以前认识的人，但比她更好。

SpringfieldR-really?这，这样吗？

Springfield...……

(Their conversation was only the beginning.)（春田和威玛西娜的对话只是一个开始。）

(From then on, Voymastina stopped pushing away the others on the Elmo, instead communicating and engaging with the others in a natural manner.)（那之后，威玛西娜也不再故意排斥艾莫号上的其他人，而是顺其自然地与众人交流和接触。）

(Everyone would soon discover that there were still communication issues and that there were more reasons to her usual silence than just disposition. Even so, the greatest obstacles appeared to have been cleared away.)（虽然大家很快发现她的本性依然是个交流障碍，寡言少语也不只是因为性格，但拦在她与大家之间最大的障碍似乎已经扫清。）

(...)（……）

ColphneMiss Voymastina, could you give us some pointers on our tactical coordination here?威玛西娜小姐，这个战术配合，能麻烦您指导一下吗？

ColphneI think there are a lot of improvements Krolik and I could still make...我觉得我和克罗丽科的配合还有很多问题……

Voymastina...Very well.……可以。

VoymastinaYour positions are too far apart. This could lead to...你们的站位间距过大，这会导致……

(...)（……）

KrolikHey, Voymastina, got time for a spar?喂，威玛西娜，有没有空过两招？

Voymastina...My schedule today is packed tightly.……今天的工作日程很紧凑。

VoymastinaBut I should be able to spare a minute.但一分钟内的误差可以提供。

KrolikHah? You saying I can't even last for a minute? Who do you think I am?哈——！？我肯定能撑超过一分钟啊！少看不起人了！

(...)（……）

(Just as everything was beginning to take a turn for the better, a confusing circumstance arose.)（而就在一切都稳中向好的时候，让我感到迷惑的情况出现了——）

(I realized that Voymastina had begun to, consciously or not, avoid... me!?)（……我发现，威玛西娜开始有意无意地故意回避起了……我！？）

CommanderVoymastina, today's training reports...威玛西娜，今天的训练报告……

VoymastinaAlready sent to your terminal.已提交至您的终端。

CommanderAlright, then tomorrow's assignments...嗯，那关于明天的任务安排……

VoymastinaAlva will fill you in on the details.埃芙会为您详细汇报。

(Her answers became abnormally succinct, formal to the degree of being difficult.)（她的回答变得异常简洁，甚至有些公事公办到近乎生硬的程度。）

(Voymastina was getting closer and closer to the other Dolls, but the way she was avoiding me could not have been any more obvious.)（威玛西娜与其他人形的关系越来越近，但只对我的回避程度格外明显。）

(...Could it be that my words made her hate me?)（……难道，我惹她讨厌了吗？）

(Things continued like this for almost a week.)（这样的状况持续了将近一周。）

(Every day, I saw Voymastina happily... well, not quite happily, but she was certainly communicating with the others. At the sight of me, though, she would end the conversation swiftly, leaving in a hurry.)（每一天，我都能看到威玛西娜与其他人形愉快地……也没有特别的愉快，但至少的确有在交流，但一看到我，她就会迅速结束对话，匆匆离开。）

(This contrast made me suspect that I cut too deep with my words that evening, to the degree of damaging her self-respect.)（这种反差让我开始怀疑，是不是我在那个夜晚的话语太过直接，伤害了她的自尊心。）

(When I would try to find an opportunity to speak with her in private, she would peel away awkwardly.)（但当我尝试找机会单独与她谈话时，她总是生硬地避开。）

(I became uncomfortable, even a little anxious... but as I thought about it, if this is what it takes for Voymastina to get along with the others, this was a price I could accept.)（我开始变得不安，甚至有些焦虑……但也觉得，只要威玛西娜能和其他人好好相处，这样也并非不能接受。）

(...)（……）

(A week later...)（一周后……）

(As I process routine documents in the morning as the familiar sound of knocking comes from outside.)（这天上午，我正在处理例行的文件工作，熟悉的敲门声响起。）

CommanderCome in.请进。

(I thought it would be Groza, maybe someone like Colphne or Springfield.)（我以为进来的会是闪电，再不济就是寇尔芙，或者是春田之类的人。）

(...I never imagined that it would be Voymastina walking through that door.)（……但我怎么也没有想到，被推开的门后，竟是威玛西娜走了进来。）

VoymastinaCommander.指挥官。

CommanderV-Voymastina?!威、威玛西娜！？

CommanderWhy is it you!?怎么是你！？

VoymastinaI'm your adjutant today.我是今日的副官。

(Her voice is as frigid as always, but I can tell that the marked layer of detachment has disappeared.)（她的声音一如既往地冷静，但我敏锐地觉察到，那种刻意的生疏感消失了。）

VoymastinaSpringfield's coffee.春田为您准备的咖啡。

(She places the cup and saucer calmly on my desk, as if nothing ever happened.）（她手上拿着托盘，平静将咖啡放在我的桌上，动作从容，就像什么都没有发生过一样。）

Commander...Voymastina.……威玛西娜。

VoymastinaHm?嗯？

CommanderYou...你……

(I hesitate, not knowing how to begin the conversation.)（我犹豫了一下，不知道该如何开口。）

CommanderYou've been avoiding me the entire week. Was it what I said that evening?你这周都在回避我，是因为我那天说的话让你不舒服了吗？

(She remains silent for a moment, slowly shaking her head.)（威玛西娜沉默了片刻，然后缓缓摇了摇头。）

VoymastinaNo, Commander.不是的，指挥官。

CommanderWhat was it, then?那是……？

VoymastinaIt would take a significant amount of time to elaborate.要说明的话会花费很长时间。

VoymastinaMy advice would be to attend the matter after the day's work is complete.我建议在工作结束之后再说。

CommanderNo... what do you mean after? I can't work at all like this!不……我很在意啊，这样我没法工作啦！？

CommanderOh, please sit down if it's a long story.啊，既然很长的话你就坐下说吧。

(She falls silent again, but eventually takes a seat on the chair opposite mine, placing her hands neatly on her knees like a student awaiting instruction.)（她又沉默了一下，但最终还是在我对面的椅子上坐下，双手规整地放在膝盖上，就像一个等待训导的学生。）

Commander...Could you begin?……可以说了吗？

VoymastinaYes.嗯。

VoymastinaSpeaking in terms of conclusions, you are incorrect.从结论来说，您说得并不正确。

VoymastinaI did not come to dislike you from what you said.我并没有因为您的话而产生厌恶情绪。

Commander...That's good.……那就好。

CommanderBut if that's the case, why did you avoid me?不对，这样的话，你为什么要回避我？

CommanderYou're not going to tell me I was imagining things, are you?你不会要说那是我的错觉吧？

Voymastina...……

(She closes her eyes, as if contemplating the topic at hand.)（威玛西娜闭上了眼，像是在思考。）

(I'm typically rather patient. On the Elmo, Dolls less than adept with words, especially in front of me, are no rarity. However, as Voymastina remains silent, I can't help but begin to feel nervous.)（我通常都很有耐心，在艾莫号上，不善言辞的人形——尤其是在我面前不善言辞的人形绝非少数，但不知怎地，威玛西娜一直不说话，我就非常紧张。）

(Thankfully, she doesn't remain silent for long.)（所幸，她并没有沉默太久。）

Voymastina...You are correct, as far as conclusions go.……从结论来说，我认为您说的话是正确的。

VoymastinaIt is true that my socialization skills and emotional simulation abilities are poor. The very goals guiding my design, combined with the Wolf's Eye systems operating at full capacity, mean one thing—the majority of my computing power will always be dedicated to combat.我缺乏社交能力与情感模拟能力并非谎言，我最初的设计目的，以及“狼眼”的高负荷运转都决定我的大部分算力会用于战斗。

VoymastinaBut the questions you posed are equally valid... It is true that I am not the pristine weapon that Dr. Shaw wished to create.但您所指出的问题同样正确……我的确并非像肖博士所期待的那样，是纯粹的武器。

VoymastinaThe variable known as "emotion" still exists in my neural cloud.我的心智中依然存在名为“情绪”的变量。

CommanderYou're incredible, Voymastina.……你很了不起，威玛西娜。

CommanderTo be able to admit this after introspection and say it out loud is admirable.能够自省并且承认这些，还把它们说出来，非常好。

VoymastinaRejecting a new Commander, rejecting new team members... is an objectively incorrect decision, one lacking in efficiency.拒绝新的指挥官，同时拒绝新成员……并不是正确的选择，也同样缺乏效率。

VoymastinaBut I continued as such for the past decade. I never thought about the reason I made these choices, but the answer was obvious upon inspection. "Emotion".但我依旧如此坚持，过去十年，我从未想过我产生这样选择的原因，但答案其实显而易见，是“感情”。

Voymastina...Up until now, I failed to completely understand the reasons this data was generated and the logic under which they influenced me.……直到现在，我依然不能完全明白这些数据产生的原因，以及它们影响我的逻辑。

(Voymastina's eyes remain closed the entire time.)（威玛西娜始终闭着眼。）

(I realize that this might be her cutting off the mass of computing power her eyes need, diverting them to her less developed language modules.)（我意识到，这或许是因为她需要暂时切断她的眼睛所占据的大部分算力，以供给她本不发达的语言系统。）

VoymastinaWhat you said uncovered the answer I was fleeing from.但您所说的话，揭破了我逃避得到的答案。

VoymastinaA correct conclusion deserves corresponding strategizing and action.正确的答案，应当得到正确的行动和对策。

Commander...Can you let go?……你能放下那份执念了吗？

VoymastinaNo.不能。

(Her answer is succinct and powerful.)（威玛西娜的回答简洁而有力。）

(She gathers her hands into fists.)（她握了握拳。）

CommanderI thought as much. You wouldn't have waited until today if it was that simple.我想也是，如果那么简单就能解决，你也不会拖到今天。

(I nod, but chances were that she wouldn't have been able to see.)（我点了点头，但她应该看不见。）

CommanderBut I see you've already made your choice. I've been paying attention to you for some time.不过，你已经做出了选择，我见过你这段时间的表现了。

CommanderYou haven't gone out of your way to improve relations with anyone, but you haven't intentionally avoided anyone, either. That's more than good enough.虽然也没有特意去跟谁搞好关系，但你也没有去刻意回避谁，这样就好。

CommanderI think we have better things to be concerned with than the past and future. To move forward in the present with a clear head is more important than everything else.我认为过去和未来如何，都不是该在现在考虑的事，能够在当下不迷茫地做事，才是最重要的。

(Yeah, she hasn't avoided anyone other than me.)（嗯，除了我以外，的确没有刻意回避谁了。）

VoymastinaYes.是的。

VoymastinaThat concludes the report on that incident.关于这件事的报告，就到此为止。

VoymastinaI have another matter to report on.接下来，我要报告另一件事的结论。

CommanderHm?嗯？

VoymastinaIt concerns the conclusions I have reached upon evaluation of your actions that deviate from conventional logic in the past week.关于过去一周内，我对指挥官的异常逻辑行为的复盘和总结。

(...Feels like I've played the part of the subject in some study.)（……感觉我成了某种论文的研究对象。）

VoymastinaAfter Ange passed, "DEFY" no longer had a Commander.在安洁殉职后，“忤逆”小队不再拥有指挥官。

VoymastinaJudging from Ange's last words and past actions, we agreed as a collective that you were the only suitable successor.但根据安洁的遗言和过往行为，我们共同认可您是唯一具备资格的继承人。

VoymastinaBased on our trust in Ange, we all acknowledged your authority and position as "DEFY's" new commander.基于对安洁的信任，我们认同您作为“忤逆”新指挥的权限和地位。

CommanderMm...嗯……

(I want to say something along the lines of "That's not the case", "I'm not all that", or "I'm not so sure Ange rated me so highly".)（我想说“没那么回事”“我没有那么伟大”“安洁也未必那么重视我”。）

(But I can't bring myself to say it. Even if we both know those words would be nothing more than platitudes, I still can't get them out.)（但我说不出口，即便我和威玛西娜都知道这些话是自谦，我也不想说出口。）

(I don't want to and never will stain any of the realities Ange left behind.)（我不想，也不会玷辱任何与安洁有关的事实。）

(I say nothing, simply accepting it.)（所以，我什么也没说，只是坦然地接受。）

Voymastina...But, after that conversation, my neural cloud came to a different conclusion.……但是，在那次谈话之后，我的心智产生了新的判断。

CommanderHm?……嗯？

VoymastinaUnlike Alva and "her", my direct contact with you is limited to the operations in Frankfurt ten years ago.与埃芙和“她”不同，我与您的直接接触，仅限于十年前的法兰克福行动。

VoymastinaThe majority of the time, we communicated with "her" as an intermediary. We have almost never spoken directly.且大多数时间，都只是通过“她”与您间接交流，直接的对话，几乎从未有过。

CommanderYes, that's true. No matter how you look at it, we are hardly familiar with each other.嗯，的确如此，再怎么往好了想，我们之间也的确不算很熟。

VoymastinaThis didn't impede my trust for you at all. It's just that this trust was rooted in my trust for Ange.但这并不妨碍我对您的信任，只是，这种信任源于对安洁的信任。

VoymastinaI treated you as Ange's successor, someone she approved of. Thus, I unconditionally trusted you.我把您当做安洁的继承者，安洁认同的人，所以无条件地信任您。

CommanderYes, that's enough for me.嗯，对我来说这样也足够了。

Commander...But?……但是？

Voymastina...After that conversation, I came to a realization.……但是，在那次谈话之后，我意识到。

VoymastinaIn my neural cloud, you and Ange have become separate entities.在我的心智中，您与安洁出现了彼此独立的情况。

CommanderSeparate entities?彼此独立？

CommanderUh...呃……

CommanderYou mean to say that you began to treat Ange and me as separate things?……你的意思是，你开始把我和安洁分开看待了？

VoymastinaYes.是的。

Commander...……

VoymastinaAt the start, this "abnormality" troubled me.最开始，这种“异常”的认知让我产生了困惑。

VoymastinaEven if I was willing to accept the establishment of new relationships with others, my stance on rejecting a new commander and new members had not changed.即便我同意和接受与其他人建立新的关系，我拒绝新指挥官与新成员的态度依然不变。

VoymastinaThe DEFY I recognize contains only its original members.……我所认同的忤逆小队，只包含最初的成员。

CommanderAnd I used to sit in Ange's position, or was simply treated as Ange.而我，本来其实只是坐在了安洁的位置上，甚至就只是被当成安洁对待。

CommanderHowever, I've become the "sixth" in the equation now?但现在，我成了“第六人”？

VoymastinaThat is an accurate summary.您的概括十分准确。

CommanderAnd so...?所以……？

VoymastinaIf I was to treat you as not a successor for Ange, but as a true "new commander"...……如果，我并没有把您当做安洁的继承，而是真正接受了一位“新指挥官”。

VoymastinaWould that mean that I have forgotten, and betrayed Ange?那是否代表，我遗忘，并背叛了安洁？

CommanderVoymastina...威玛西娜……

(I place a weighty hand on her shoulder.)（我郑重地把手放在了她的肩膀上。）

(She opens her eyes.)（她睁开了眼。）

CommanderI've never asked you to place me above Ange.我从来没有要求过你们把我的地位放在安洁之上。

CommanderHell, I don't even need to be on the same level. I know that for you, Angelina is irreplaceable.甚至不需要与安洁对等，我知道，对你们来说，安洁莉娅是无可替代的。

CommanderIt's the same way for me.——因为对我也是这样。

(She raises her head, a certain something I've never seen before shining in her crimson pupils.)（她抬起头，那双赤红的眼眸中闪烁着某种我从未见过的光芒。）

CommanderTrusting someone new doesn't mean you're forsaking your past.但是，对新的人产生信任，并不意味着对过去的背叛。

CommanderDeep down, Ange is well and truly irreplaceable for all of us.安洁在我，在你们的心中都是独一无二的，任何人都无法取代。

CommanderYet that doesn't stop me from accepting others who are trustworthy.但这并不妨碍我去接受其他值得信任的人。

Commander...Ten years ago, I lost Griffin. Lost the comrades I had by my side.……十年前，我失去了格里芬，失去了共同战斗的战友。

CommanderFor a couple of years when Mayling began handling logistics, I would even get her name wrong often.在美玲最开始负责后勤的那几年，我甚至经常把她的名字叫错。

CommanderBut now she's my trusted adjutant, not a replacement for anyone else.但现在，她已经是我信任的副官，不是任何人的替代。

CommanderYou don't need to... be troubled over these things, either.所以你也不需要……为此而烦恼。

Voymastina...I know.……我知道。

(Her voice gains firmness.)（她的声音变得更加坚定。）

VoymastinaThat's why I'm here.所以，我来了。

(Her eyes close again.)（她又闭上了眼。）

VoymastinaJust as you say, I should not fixate on the past.如您所说，我不应当固守过去。

VoymastinaAccepting you doesn't mean also forgetting her. Shying away from you because of her... would be true betrayal.接受您，不代表我会遗忘她，如果因为她而畏惧您……才是真正的背叛。

Voymastina...My neural cloud is not properly equipped for handling such problems. That is why it took me the span of a week to come to these conclusions.……由于我的心智不善于处理此类问题，因此得出这一结论，我花费了一周的时间。

VoymastinaHowever, I am confident that it is the correct answer.但我认为，这就是正确的回答。

CommanderThanks, but... most of the stuff I said that evening, I got from Alva.……谢谢，不过，其实……那天说的那些话，一大半都是埃芙告诉我的。

CommanderIf your perspective on me changed because of that, I can't help but feel...如果你是因为那些话对我改观，我觉得……

VoymastinaI know.我知道。

VoymastinaDEFY's remaining electronic and paper records would not be exact to that degree.忤逆在现存的电子和书面档案中的记录，不会详细到那种程度。

VoymastinaMost of the information can only be provided by the relevant personnel.大多数信息，只有相关人员能够提供。

CommanderThen, you...?那你……？

VoymastinaThe origin of the information matters not.……情报的来源并不重要。

VoymastinaWhat matters is that in these ten years, the only one to say those words to me was you, Commander.重要的是，十年来，唯一一个对我说那些话的人，是您，指挥官。

Commander...……

VoymastinaSo, Commander...所以，指挥官……

(She stands up, opening her eyes and delivering a sharp salute.)（她站起身，睁开眼，向我行了一个标准的军礼。）

VoymastinaPlease allow me to reintroduce myself.请允许我重新自我介绍。

VoymastinaI am AK-15, Voymastina. Member of DEFY, and the world's strongest Doll.我是AK15，威玛西娜，忤逆小队成员，全世界最强大的人形。

VoymastinaFrom today onwards, as a member of DEFY, I hope to be of service under your command.从今天开始，我作为忤逆的一员，希望成为您的部下，为您效力。

(The sudden change in phrasing after opening her eyes made things a little awkward.)（她睁开眼之后，一口气说出这样长的一段话，就变得有些磕绊。）

(I don't find the urge to laugh at her at all.)（但我并没有因此而觉得有哪里好笑。）

(I stand up with a smile on my face, returning the salute.)（我微笑着站起身，回了一个同样标准的军礼。）

CommanderWelcome back, Voymastina.……欢迎归队，威玛西娜。

Covenant 铭契

VoymastinaDr. Shaw wanted me to be the finest weapon possible.肖博士希望我做最优秀的武器。

VoymastinaRPK wanted me to be the strongest Doll.RPK希望我做最强的人形。

VoymastinaAnge wanted me to be a DEFY member.安洁希望我做忤逆的一员。

Voymastina...Now, your orders, please.……现在，请下达命令吧。

VoymastinaWhat do you want of me?您希望我做什么？

Sheathing the Sword 利刃归鞘

CommanderAlva didn't tell me about your issues at first, having me make an attempt by myself.埃芙最开始没有直接把你的心结告诉我，而是先让我自己去尝试。

CommanderI suppose she wanted me to understand your problems more exactly, but... Looks like we've both been led around in circles by her.应该也是希望我能实际理解你的问题，不过……从结果来看，我们俩都被她玩得团团转啊。

CommanderAlva was so easy to understand back then, but her growth these past ten years is truly remarkable.明明最开始还是那么好懂的人，十年来的成长真不得了。

VoymastinaAlva is perfectly adequate as a leader.作为队长，埃芙没有任何不足。

VoymastinaHer judgment was correct. Those things... could only have been said by you, Commander.她的判断是正确的，那些话……只有指挥官可以开口。

Voymastina"She" would have kept her silence eternally, letting me deal with it myself.如果是“她”，会选择永远保持沉默，让我自行处理。

CommanderIf AK-12 hadn't transferred the position of leader to Alva, would you observe AK-12's commands properly?如果AK12没有把队长的位置交给埃芙，你会乖乖听AK12的指挥吗？

VoymastinaI would now.现在会。

Commander...What about ten years ago?……十年前的话就不会吗？

Voymastina...……

(I put a hand on her arm with a smile.)（我笑着拍拍她。）

CommanderGoes to show that you've grown too, haven't you?说明你也成长了很多，不是吗？

VoymastinaYes.是。

CommanderAlthough... come to think of it, you never once called Ange "Commander" before.不过……这么说起来，你好像从来没叫过安洁“指挥官”啊。

CommanderIs there any reason you simply used her name?一直都是直接叫她的名字的，为什么？

Voymastina...……

Voymastina...?……？

(Recently, I've learnt how to discern Voymastina's emotional state from her face alone.)（我最近已经学会了从威玛西娜那张脸上看出她的表情。）

(Her eyebrows just dipped approximately two pixels, meaning that she was confused.)（刚才，她的眉毛微微皱了大概两个像素点，这是她感到困惑的表情。）

Voymastina...Sorry, I can't answer that question.……抱歉，我无法回答这个问题。

VoymastinaI do not know an exact answer, either. To be precise, there was no particular reason.因为我也不知道确切的答案，准确地说，并没有具体的理由。

CommanderAh, it's alright, it wasn't a question of any import. I was just curious.啊，没关系，也不是什么特别需要在意的问题，我只是好奇而已。

CommanderAnd, even if you say there's no particular reason, that's an answer. It's just habit.而且，虽然你这么说，但这已经算是答案了，就是单纯的习惯嘛。

Voymastina...……

CommanderAlright, about time to get to work.好了，差不多也该工作了。

CommanderCould you pass me that stack of documents?能把那边那堆文件递给我吗？

VoymastinaYes, {}.是，{}。

CommanderThanks.谢谢。

Commander...Huh?…………嗯？

(I raise my head with a sudden motion. Voymastina does not turn to look at me, silently focusing on sorting out the papers on the desk below her.)（我猛地抬起了头，而威玛西娜则没有看着我，只是默默地站在一侧，低头整理着今日的工作。）

Commander...Okay, let's get to work.……好，干活了干活了。

(Saying the reason out loud would have been poor judgment.)（理由不便明说。）

(That day, though, I was rather invigorated in my work.)（不过那天，我的干劲特别的足。）

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。

VoymastinaYour instructions, Commander.请指示。

About Coffee关于咖啡

About Cooking关于烹饪

About the Elmo关于艾莫号

About Relaxation关于放松

About Hobbies关于兴趣

About Nostalgia关于怀念

CommanderI'm a bit surprised that you went to the trouble to do this.你愿意做这个，我有些意外。

VoymastinaYou went to bed very late last night. To minimize the impact of sleep deprivation on your work efficiency, I followed the instructions on the coffee machine and made a suitable beverage. Is it to your taste?您昨天很晚才入睡。为了不影响工作效率，我才按照咖啡机上的说明制作了适合的饮品。还合口味吗？

CommanderUh... I think it's a bit too bitter...呃……好像有点苦……

VoymastinaUnderstood, then I will add ten extra grams of sugar next time.明白了，下次我会再多加10克糖。

CommanderDid you make the snack that I just had?刚才的加餐，是威玛西娜做的吗？

VoymastinaYes. It's a quick dish made according to the nutritional needs of the human body, with measurements accurate down to the milligram.没错，是我按照人体所需的元素配比所制作的快捷食品，计量单位精确到毫克。

VoymastinaIt was both nutritious and easy to ingest.既能保证营养，又能提升您的进食效率。

VoymastinaCommander, we have other matters to attend to in ten minutes, so snack time is over.指挥官，十分钟后我们还有其它事务需要处理，所以下午茶时间要结束了。

CommanderIt's been a while since you came aboard the Elmo. Feeling at home yet?来艾莫号上也有一段时间了，还习惯吗？

VoymastinaMy feelings are irrelevant, but why do you ask? Is my performance not up to your expectations?我的感受并不是什么重要的事情。不过您为什么会问这个问题？是我的表现没有满足您的期望吗？

CommanderUh... No, I'm just asking out of concern.呃……没有，我只是在关心你。

VoymastinaPlease don't worry about me. I will always complete the tasks you assign to me in a timely manner regardless of what state I'm in.请您不必太在意我。无论状态如何，我都会按时完成您交给我的任务。

CommanderNow that we finally get some down time, why don't we do something for fun?难得休息，要来玩点什么吗？

VoymastinaSorry, my frame does not have an entertainment module installed. However, if you wish, I can play a game of word chain with you.抱歉，我的素体里没有加装娱乐模块。不过如果您有需要的话，我可以陪您进行词语接龙。

VoymastinaTo facilitate effective tactical communication, my neural cloud is equipped with the lexicons of over ten widely used languages. Shall we begin, Commander?为了能满足精准的战术交流需求，我的心智中涵盖了十余种常用语言的词汇库。指挥官，要开始吗？

CommanderUh, never mind.呃，还是算了。

CommanderDo you have any hobbies?威玛西娜有什么兴趣吗？

VoymastinaNo.没有。

CommanderHuh...? Uh, way to kill the conversation...欸……？呃，这样的话话题就没法进行了……

VoymastinaI understand your intentions, but the trust between us needs not to be maintained through such time-consuming small talk, Commander.我理解您的目的。不过指挥官，我们之间的信赖关系，不必依靠这种浪费时间的话题来维系。

CommanderDo you ever feel nostalgic—Uh, I suppose you don't experience such feelings, am I right?你会怀念——呃，我想你大概不会有怀念这种感情，对吧？

VoymastinaI see you have come to know me very well during the time we've spent in each other's company.看来经过一段时间的相处，您已经十分了解我了。

VoymastinaYou're right, the sentiment known as nostalgia is merely redundant data to me.没错，怀念这种感情对于我来说，的确只是一段冗余的数据。

VoymastinaThough lately I have found myself pondering whether all this seemingly pointless data is not so pointless after all.不过最近我也在思考，这些看起来毫无必要的数据，是否也有它们存在的意义呢？

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。

Out Of Control Relationship Ⅰ 失控关系·Ⅰ

VoymastinaCommander, perfect timing.指挥官，您来得正好。

CommanderLooking for me? How unusual.有事找我吗？真是难得呢。

VoymastinaYes. Sorry to take up your time.是的。抱歉耽误了您的时间。

VoymastinaI'd like to discuss the grading of my previous mission.我想找您聊聊关于上次任务结果评级的事。

CommanderYour previous mission? I remember giving it an A...上次？我记得我应该给了A的评级……

VoymastinaYou did.没错。

CommanderWhat, you think I graded it too low? You might be right. That assault mission was completed to an outstanding standard. Considering—怎么，你觉得评级偏低了吗？不过的确，那次突袭任务完成得很出色，考虑到——

VoymastinaNo, I believe the outcome of the mission did not deserve such a grade.不，我觉得您给出的评级过分美化了那次任务的结果。

VoymastinaI failed to retrieve the sample, which was the primary objective of the mission, and I took quite a bit of damage to my frame.我明明没有夺回主要的任务样本，素体也有不小的损伤。

CommanderThe grading of a mission isn't just about its efficiency and completion. It also involves a comprehensive evaluation of the actual conditions.评判任务结果的好坏不光是看效率和完成度，也要综合考虑实际的情况。

CommanderYou ended up saving the civilians within the purification zone, didn't you?而且行动中也有净化区的平民因为你的举动而得救吧？

VoymastinaThat's just to avoid unnecessary trouble.那只是为了避免引起不必要的麻烦。

VoymastinaWhich is why for the sake of fairness, I would like you to amend the mission grading to C.所以为了公平起见，我希望您可以修改任务结果的评级为C。

VoymastinaWhich is the standard grading for all missions where the primary objective is not completed.这是任务主要目标未达成时一贯的评级基准。

VoymastinaYou should not make any exceptions for me.您不该为我而更改这种基准。

CommanderI didn't. I just want you to understand that whether a mission objective is completed is not the only indicator of your ability.我没有更改基准。威玛西娜，我只是想让你明白，是否完成任务并不是评价能力的唯一的指标。

VoymastinaI don't understand.我不明白。

Commander...……

VoymastinaIf that's your final decision, I will try to reconfigure the evaluation system in my neural cloud to give higher priority to things that you care about.但既然您如此决定，我会尝试更改心智模块中的评价体系，把您更在意的东西调高优先级。

VoymastinaAfter all, it is my duty to obey your orders.毕竟服从指挥官的命令，是我的职责。

CommanderYou'll carry them out even if you don't fully understand the rationale...?就算是不理解，也会好好执行么……

VoymastinaOf course.当然。

VoymastinaUnlike Alva, I am not good at making decisions or judgment calls. My ability to get things done and follow through is one of the few things that can be counted on.我不像埃芙那样擅长判断和决策，执行力是我为数不多能仰赖的东西。

VoymastinaSo please make full use of that.所以接下来，请您充分利用这一点吧。

Out Of Control Relationship Ⅱ 失控关系·Ⅱ

VoymastinaCommander, I notice you have assigned me a new simulated training mission.指挥官，我注意到您为我分配了一个新的模拟习练任务。

CommanderYes. Is there a problem?嗯。有什么问题吗？

VoymastinaI just reviewed the implementation plan but found the mission objective rather unclear.我梳理了推进的预案，发现这次的任务目标并不明确。

VoymastinaFor example, here—比如这里——

VoymastinaWe're supposed to be tracking down a lead. But you've set up such harsh conditions that the mission is all but impossible to complete. Moreover, you've listed many prerequisites that can justify aborting the mission...我们明明是要进行一起追回线索的任务，但您却设定了几乎无法完成任务的苛刻环境，而且附加了许多可以“放弃任务”的前提。

VoymastinaSuch as if any team member is under threat of destruction, or if our logistical units are unable to render effective support, or...比如小队中有单位遭遇损毁风险时，再比如友方后勤单位无法进行有效支援时，还有……

VoymastinaHow about you see for yourself.您自己看吧。

CommanderLet's see... Hm... Yeah, I did come up with these.我看看……唔……这些条件的确是我写的。

VoymastinaBut why? From my point of view, these obstacles hardly warrant the termination of the mission.为什么？在我看来，这些障碍，都不足以构成放弃任务的标准。

VoymastinaBesides, planning all these withdrawal contingencies before the mission even begins will only increase the likelihood of failure.更何况，连任务都还没有开始，就规划好各种撤退的方案，只会让失败率变得更高。

CommanderIt doesn't hurt to be prepared.有备无患总没错。

VoymastinaBut over-planning could also hinder a mission. This is not really DEFY's style.但过于细节的任务规划，反而可能成为前进的阻碍。这和“忤逆”的风格并不相符。

(I ponder Voymastina's response for a moment.)（听到威玛西娜的回答，我陷入了短暂的思索。）

CommanderIn that case, what... kind of condition would make you consider aborting a mission?既然这样的话，你觉得……什么样的条件可以让你暂时放弃任务撤退？

Voymastina...I don't know.……我不知道。

CommanderYou see, that's exactly the problem. I set these conditions to help you understand that not all missions have to result in success.你看，这就是问题所在了。我设定这些条件的目的，是为了让你明白，并不是所有任务都要成功。

CommanderWhen faced with certain unique circumstances, I hope you can use your best judgment.在面临某些特殊情况时，我希望你可以有自己的判断。

VoymastinaIf that's what you wish, I'll do my best.既然这是您希望的方向——我会努力去做的。

Commander...……

VoymastinaYou seem to have more to say.您似乎有话想要交代。

CommanderNo, not really.不，没什么。

CommanderThen go ahead with the simulated mission.先去执行模拟任务吧。

CommanderPerhaps you'll see what I mean... once this mission is over.或许这次的任务结束后……你就能明白我真正的用意。

Out Of Control Relationship Ⅲ 失控关系·Ⅲ

VoymastinaThe mission ended in failure after all. You set me a challenge, but you could not be contacted at the most critical moment.任务果然失败了。您为我出了一个难题，却在最关键的时刻失联了。

CommanderYou still did pretty well after taking over command, no?但接下指挥权之后，你不是也做得很好吗？

VoymastinaNot at all. We failed to accomplish the primary mission objective and were forced to abandon the lead.不。我们没有达成主要的作战目标，而且被迫放弃了要追回的线索。

VoymastinaIsn't that a failed mission through and through?您不认为这是任务失败的标志吗？

CommanderFailed? You took the initiative to ensure the safe withdrawal of all your teammates, preventing unnecessary casualties.失败？你自主保护了所有的队友安全撤退，避免了不必要的损伤。

CommanderI don't think that's a failure at all.我并不认为这是一种失败的表现。

VoymastinaI was merely trying to achieve a result that you'd find desirable based on what you said last time.我只是在按照您上次说的那样，尽可能去达成您希望的结果。

CommanderA result that I'd find desirable?我希望的结果？

VoymastinaYes.是的。

CommanderI thought you'd come to that decision on your own.我还以为，这是你自己的判断。

VoymastinaYou sound disappointed.您的语气听起来有些失望。

CommanderVoymastina, in all these years, have you ever once considered giving up a mission?威玛西娜，这么多年来，你有过放弃任务的想法吗？

VoymastinaA Doll does not "give up". So long as a single bone remains intact, we must continue our mission.人形的自律指令里没有“放弃”这个字眼。只要还有一块骨骼能动，都必须继续任务。

VoymastinaWhich is why this simulated mission can only be categorically classified as a failure in my neural cloud, regardless of what you think.所以无论您怎么看，在我的心智数据中，这次模拟任务无疑会被判定为失败的样本。

CommanderFine. But even if you insist...好吧。既然你这么说的话……

CommanderNobody says that Dolls must carry out their missions with a 100% success rate.也没人规定，人形一定要百分之百成功执行任务吧？

VoymastinaWhat? But—什么？可是——

CommanderI know what you want to say. All Dolls are programmed to strive for that... I've heard that many times from the others.我知道你想说什么。人形中植入的程序就是如此……这样的话，我已经听其他人说过许多次了。

CommanderBut you're a member of DEFY.但你是“忤逆”的成员。

Voymastina...……

CommanderSurely you know full well the significance of the name of your team? Free from the limits and constraints of your protocols, you can even defy your commander's orders if push comes to shove.我想你应该很明白，“忤逆”这个名字的含义吧？不受到协议的限制和约束，在必要的时刻，甚至可以违逆所属指挥官的命令——

Voymastina...………………

CommanderHave you never considered defying my orders?你没有想过，要违抗我吗？

Voymastina...Certainly not!……当然没有！

CommanderSo you are compelled only by the need to follow orders?所以，你的驱动力只是因为服从命令？

Voymastina...Yes.……是。

CommanderIn other words, I am no more than someone who issues commands to you?所以你的意思是，我在你心里，就只是一个发号施令的长官而已吗？

VoymastinaI—我——

VoymastinaCommander, why do you keep asking the same question? Is my answer not satisfactory?指挥官，您为什么要反复追问这个问题？是我的答案没有令您满意吗？

VoymastinaWhy do you think it's necessary for Dolls to have self-awareness?为什么您会觉得，人形需要有自我意识这种东西？

CommanderOther Dolls may not have it, but as a DEFY member, you certainly do.其他人形或许没有，但身为忤逆一份子的你，一定会有。

VoymastinaAs a weapon, self-awareness is not essential at all. In fact, it is even a hindrance in most cases!对于兵器来说，自我意识并不是必要的东西。而且大部分时候，它反而会带来许多麻烦！

CommanderVoymastina, are you worried about something?威玛西娜，你是不是在担心什么？

VoymastinaNo. I-I just—没有。我——我只是——

CommanderHaving doubts and concerns is nothing to be ashamed of. If there's anything you want to say, just speak up.疑虑和担忧并不是什么值得羞耻的情绪。如果你觉得有想对我说的话，就大声说出来吧。

Voymastina...……

VoymastinaI have never dealt with such emotions before. Not to mention, Dolls should not have such unnecessary feelings to begin with.我没有处理这种情绪的经验。更何况，人形也不该有这种多余的东西。

Commander...Alright.……好吧。

CommanderSomeday you will realize that emotions don't always have negative impacts.总有一天你会发现，情绪所带来的并不都是负面的影响。

CommanderThere must be an appropriate outlet even behind absolute rationality.绝对理性的背后，也总要有一个适合的出口。

VoymastinaI don't think... I understand what you mean by that.我想……我现在还无法明白您的意思。

CommanderSome food for thought.那就再回去想一想吧。

Out Of Control Relationship Ⅳ 失控关系·Ⅳ

Voymastina...Commander.……指挥官。

CommanderHave you calmed down a little?冷静下来了吗？

VoymastinaSorry. I should never have spoken to you in that tone no matter what.抱歉。无论如何，我都不应该以那样的语气和指挥官说话。

CommanderDon't sweat it. You're always so austere, seeing a different side of you actually makes you feel more friendly.没关系。威玛西娜总是一副严肃的样子，看到和平时不太一样的你，让我觉得很亲切。

Voymastina...Friendly?……亲切？

CommanderUh... is that not the right word? What I mean is, I'm glad I got to know a different side of you.呃……形容词不太恰当吗？我的意思是，我很高兴能了解到威玛西娜的另一面。

CommanderIt makes me feel that we've genuinely established a solid relationship based on trust.会让我觉得，我们真正地建立了某种牢固的信赖关系。

VoymastinaTrust...信赖……

VoymastinaI have a feeling your understanding of the word is a little skewed.虽然我觉得，您对这个词的理解似乎有些偏差。

VoymastinaBut if you consider such outbursts of negative emotions a sign of trust, then I can come to you regularly to—但如果您认为不受控制地向您表达负面情绪是一种信赖的话，我之后也可以定期——

CommanderCome to me regularly to moan about things?定期向我抱怨吗？

VoymastinaAt a frequency that will not irritate you.我会把频率控制在不会让您觉得烦心的范围。

Commander...………………

CommanderNever mind, that's pretty good for a first step.算了，就这样迈出第一步也不错。

Voymastina?？

VoymastinaI see now. The mission last time... You did that deliberately?我明白了。上次的事……您是故意那样做的吗？

CommanderWhat do you mean?你是指？

VoymastinaYou deliberately set up an impossible mission to question my motivations and...故意安排一个不可能完成的任务，故意质疑我的动机，故意……

VoymastinaForce me to express emotions unbefitting for a Doll.故意让我向您流露出那些人形不该有的情绪。

CommanderAnd the penny finally drops.你终于发现了。

VoymastinaBut... why?可是……您为什么要这么做？

CommanderYou have always been one of the most outstanding Dolls with one of the highest rates of mission completion on board the Elmo.一直以来，你都是任务完成率最高、也是艾莫号上表现最优秀的人形之一。

CommanderBut I want you to know that even missions with a 99.9% success rate have a 0.1% chance for failure.但我想说的是，就算是成功率99.9%的任务，也有0.1%的失败风险。

CommanderHere with me, you don't need to think of mission completion as the one and only way to prove yourself.在我的身边，你不需要把完成任务和证明自己当成唯一的标准。

CommanderNor do you need to treat everything as an order.也不需要把什么事都看作是命令。

CommanderThere were many times when I wanted to see the side of you that was a member of DEFY.很多时候，我也希望能看到你作为“忤逆”一分子的那一面。

VoymastinaI...我……

(Voymastina looks down, as if trying hard to grasp the meaning of my words.)（威玛西娜低垂着头，似乎在努力理解着我话语中的含义。）

(After a short moment, I seem to glimpse something different in her eyes.)（片刻之后，我看到她的眼里，似乎多了一些与以往不太一样的东西。）

Voymastina...I understand.……我明白了。

VoymastinaCommander, all this time, I've been treated as a tool for completing missions, and I have also taken pride in that.指挥官，一直以来，我都被当成是完成任务的工具，而我也以此为傲。

VoymastinaBut you want me to behave more like a "human".而您是那个希望我表现得更像一名“人类”的人。

VoymastinaOnly humans prioritize trivial matters over the mission and disobey orders from their leaders. Only humans lack self-control and display inappropriate emotions.只有人类才会将许多无关紧要的事置于任务之上，会违抗来自指挥单位的指令；也只有人类，才会不受控制地流露出不合时宜的情绪。

CommanderI see you finally get it.看来你已经明白了。

CommanderI don't want you to think of me as just your Commander. Rather, I want you to consider me an equal, someone you can rely on and who can rely on you in turn... In other words, a friend.我不希望你只是把我当做指挥官……而是把我当做平等的、可以相互依赖的……朋友。

VoymastinaFriends...朋友……

VoymastinaYou know, Commander...指挥官，您知道吗？

VoymastinaOnce a Doll starts having emotions, she'll inevitably start developing many unbecoming, uncontrollable "desires".人形一旦开始变得有情绪，随之而来就会产生许多不该存在的、无法掌控的“欲望”。

VoymastinaIf we do end up becoming friends as you've hoped...或许当我们真的像您所期望的那样，成为了朋友之后……

VoymastinaI might want to our relationship to go even further... and things could get out of hand.我还会想要进一步地继续拉近我们的关系，直到事态失控。

VoymastinaEven so, you'd still find that acceptable?即便是那样，也是您能够接受的结果吗？

CommanderYes.是的。

Voymastina...……

VoymastinaThen from now on, I will try to build a relationship with you like a "human".那么从现在起，我会学着像“人类”那样与您建立关系。

VoymastinaEven if you regret it, I will not stop.就算您后悔了，我也绝不会停下。

Collection Overview 1 收藏展示1

VoymastinaCommander, I see that you've assigned me a new mission.指挥官，我看到您为我分配了一个新的任务。

VoymastinaHm... No, it's nothing. I just found the nature of the mission a bit unusual.唔……不，没什么。只是觉得这种类型的任务不太常见而已。

VoymastinaHowever, you don't seem to have approved the funding for the mission yet...不过任务经费您似乎还没有批准……

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

VoymastinaPlease give your critique.请给出评价吧。

It's not exactly pretty...虽然卖相一般……

I'll just have to eat it with my eyes closed.只能闭着眼睛吃了。

CommanderIt's not exactly pretty, but it actually tastes decent.虽然卖相一般，不过吃起来倒是还算可口。

VoymastinaThese are all very beneficial to your health, so please try not to leave anything.这些对您的健康十分有益，所以请尽量不要剩下。

CommanderI'll clean my plate.我会吃光的。

CommanderI'll just have to eat it with my eyes closed.只能闭着眼睛吃了。

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。

CommanderHm, it's not as unpalatable as I'd expected.唔，倒是没有想象中那么难入口。

VoymastinaI see. I will record all your feedback in detail.明白了。我会详细记录每一条反馈的。

CommanderThe texture is unremarkable, but the flavors are quite marvelous.虽然口感有点普通，但味道还挺让人眼前一亮的。

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

Kitchen Chat 3 厨房闲谈3

VoymastinaI've prepared the dishes, but for the sake of your health, please let me discard them.虽然料理完成了，不过为了您的健康着想，请允许我把它们倒掉。

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。

VoymastinaWhat would you like me to do with the remaining food?剩下的这些，您想让我如何处理？

Better discard it.还是倒掉吧。

If I've got to finish it...如果一定要吃完……

CommanderYeah, I think you should discard it after all.嗯，我看还是倒掉吧。

VoymastinaRight, I understand.好的，我明白了。

CommanderMaybe let me do the cooking next time.以后还是让我来吧。

CommanderIf I've got to finish it... please have several medical Dolls be on stand-by outside the door.如果一定要吃完的话……记得提前叫几个医疗人形过来守在门口。

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。

Interest Research 兴趣调研

VoymastinaYou're late.您迟到了。

VoymastinaWe would've had enough time to conduct two Q&A sessions regarding our interests and hobbies. Now we only have time for one.我们本来可以在限定时间内进行两次兴趣调研的问答，现在只剩下了完成一次的时间。

VoymastinaCommander, hurry up and start the conversation.指挥官，抓紧开启话题吧。

It's just a chat to deepen our bond.只是增进感情的闲聊而已。

This is not a mission.这不是任务。

VoymastinaI know, which is why I'm complying with your arrangement.我知道，所以我服从了您的安排。

VoymastinaEven though I think the time should be spent on performing tactical exercises.虽然我觉得，应该用这些时间来进行战术演练。

VoymastinaSorry, I don't understand what you mean. The time, location, and terms are all clear. All we have to do is follow the agenda.抱歉，我不明白您的意思。时间、地点、事项安排都很清晰，接下来只要按照流程执行就可以了。

VoymastinaBut since you disapprove, I will try my best to do things your way.不过既然您持否认态度，我也会尽力配合。

VoymastinaSo how am I supposed to carry out this mission that is "not a mission"?所以，这项“不是任务”的任务，应该怎么做呢？

Daily Training 日常训练

VoymastinaCommander, where were you?指挥官，您刚刚去哪里了？

VoymastinaAccording to the physical training schedule I planned for you, you still have two sets of squats, three sets of bench presses, and one set of balance training left today.按照我为您规划的体能训练日程表，今天还剩下两组深蹲、三组卧推和一组平衡训练没有做。

I shouldn't have come back.早知道就不回来了。

Can I rest a bit more?可以再休息一下吗？

VoymastinaMy Wolf's Eye system can scan every room on board the Elmo and promptly pinpoint your location.我的狼眼系统可以扫描艾莫号上的每一个房间，迅速定位您当前的位置。

VoymastinaSo I suggest you don't do anything counterproductive.所以，我建议您不要做这种会影响效率的事情。

VoymastinaYou've already taken an extra break that lasted more than six minutes.可是您刚才已经额外休息过六分钟了。

VoymastinaIf you insist on resting again, I will put down "goals not met" in today's training log.如果您执意要这么做，我会在今天的训练记录中为您打上“未达成目标”的标识。

Wish Commentary 愿望的注解

VoymastinaCommander, do you understand the meaning of the word "DEFY"? No, it's just that I don't understand... Why would Dr. Shaw design Dolls around such a principle? Is unconditionally following orders not a Doll's best trait?指挥官，您理解“忤逆”这个名字的含义吗？不……我只是不明白，为什么肖博士要为人形设计这样的底层逻辑。无条件服从指令，难道不是人形最大的优点吗？

Ceaseless Honing 不息锤炼

VoymastinaIf you want to be the "strongest", you mustn't slack off for a moment.想要成为“最强”，任何一刻的放松都不应该。

VoymastinaI am still in the process of getting stronger.我还在不断变强的过程之中。

Wedding Scene 1 婚礼剧情1

CommanderI heard some noises coming from Voymastina's room this morning... Wonder what she's doing.今早似乎听到威玛西娜房间里传来一些声音……也不知道她在做什么。

CommanderI should probably go take a look—hm?去看看好了——嗯？

VoymastinaCommander? Just in time. I'll be heading out for a while.指挥官？正好。我需要出去一趟，请允许我告假。

CommanderThat's not a problem... Although, I don't think I've seen you look like this before.可以是可以……不过话说回来，你这个造型很少见呢。

CommanderIs Defy conducting some kind of operation which requires you to dress up in this outfit?是忤逆有什么行动需要特殊装扮吗？

VoymastinaThat is correct.您的推测没错，的确是一次特殊行动。

VoymastinaOur intel indicates that a group of mysterious Dolls is holding a tournament in a nearby satellite city.有情报显示，附近卫星城中，有一群神秘的人形正在进行一场特殊的战力比拼。

VoymastinaSupposedly, the winner will obtain some kind of... special item that can grant any wish.胜者据说可以获得一种……神奇的道具，可以实现任何愿望。

CommanderSo they're fighting over a wish granter? Surely something like that can't exist, right?愿望机？这种东西不可能存在吧。

VoymastinaIn addition, these Dolls' origins are strange.不仅如此，这些人形的来历也十分奇怪。

VoymastinaThey appear to be produced by a certain company, but someone else has authority over them.虽然所属挂在某个人形制造企业下，但实际控制权似乎掌握在其他人手中，难以追溯。

VoymastinaFor security reasons, Defy will be investigating this tournament.这场比拼，背后一定不简单。保险起见，忤逆需要调查清楚。

CommanderThat does sound quite suspicious. Did "she" tell you about this?听起来的确可疑。是来自“她”的消息吗？

Voymastina...Yes.……是的。

VoymastinaI intend to infiltrate the location and learn more.我会以工作人员的身份，卧底在活动现场，调查更多信息。

CommanderIf you need my help, feel free to contact me.如果有需要我帮忙的地方，尽管联系。

VoymastinaUnderstood. However, this is a simple recon mission. I can handle it by myself.了解。但这次行动的目的只是侦察，我一个人足够应对了。

CommanderI'm sure you can. However... what happened to the Sinbreaker?嗯，我相信你。话说回来……这个断罪者是怎么回事？

VoymastinaI had Mayling remodel it.同样是为了卧底，请美玲做的改装。

VoymastinaThese Dolls possess insectile characteristics and they can shift between forms.那些人形，外观似乎都具备昆虫之类的动物的特征，还可以变换形态。

VoymastinaWhile the Sinbreaker can't do that, its appearance should be able to blend in with them.断罪者虽然做不到，但至少可以从外观上尽量融入。

CommanderIs that why it looks like a red stag beetle? It actually looks cuter than before.红色的……独角仙吗？比原本的断罪者看起来可爱呢。

Voymastina...That's surprising.您喜欢这个造型？这倒是没想到。

VoymastinaStill, the Sinbreaker's appearance won't affect its combat performance.但无论外观如何，断罪者的性能都不会受到影响，我的作战能力也一样。

CommanderGood, you sound confident in yourself. All the best with this operation, then.很好，很有自信。那就祝你行动顺利了。

VoymastinaSuccess is guaranteed.请放心。有我在，绝不会失败。

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1Unit 1 of the "Wolf Pack" T-Doll research project. Directed by Statesec and funded by a certain individual of high standing in the URNC over a decade ago. She holds the title of the "World's Strongest Doll". As Samantha Shaw had hoped, Voymastina was a most excellent weapon, executing a large number of anti-terrorism missions soon after she was put into action. With unmatched results, she took the spotlight with a string of dazzling performances, garnering widespread acclaim for the "Wolf Pack Project". Equipped with the "Wolf's Eye", an integrated data collection & analysis system developed by Samantha Shaw, Voymastina is capable of grasping every available piece of information within her vision. Its permanently active nature means that whenever Voymastina's eyes are open, a veritable ocean of information continually pours into her neural cloud. The vast majority of her computing power is used for processing this data. Undoubtedly, such functionality was a fine asset for a weapon. However, neither Shaw nor Voymastina herself came to realize this system's hidden inherent flaws.在距今十几年前的某个时间点，由而今在罗克萨特联盟内部身居高位的某人投资，安全局主导的特级战术人形研发项目“狼群计划”中诞生的1号机，享有“世界最强人形”的美誉。 在萨曼莎·肖的期望下，威玛西娜作为最优秀的武器，在制造之初便执行了大量反恐任务，并通过惊艳的表现取得了傲人的成绩，一时风光无两。为“狼群计划”在业内赢得了广泛认同和赞许。 其搭载的“狼眼系统”系萨曼莎·肖研发的新型集成式数据收集分析系统，确保威玛西娜能够随时掌握视野范围内的一切数据，但因其常态开启的特征，同时意味着只要威玛西娜睁着眼睛，便无时无刻都有海量的数据涌入她的心智，因此大部分算力都在用于处理这些数据。 作为一件武器，拥有这样的功能毋庸置疑是一件幸事，然而彼时的萨曼莎·肖与威玛西娜本人，都未曾意识到，其中隐藏的弊端。

Record 2Like other Dolls, Voymastina is rich in emotion. This truth, as objective as it was, went unadmitted by those around her for quite some time. Driven by Dr. Shaw's expectations and, more importantly, the influence of the Wolf's Eye system—whose design prioritized functionality—Voymastina's emotions remained repressed for extended periods. Frankly speaking, the Wolf's Eye demanded the majority of her neural cloud's computing power, thus leaving her bereft of the impetus that would be needed to drive her emotional simulators. Subjectively, though, her creator, Samantha Shaw, also wished for her to almost never display emotion. Shaw defined Voymastina as the ultimate weapon, a definition that bled into others' perception of her. Voymastina readily accepted this interpretation and worked to realize it, viewing displays of emotions as weakness and even rejecting the existence of her emotions altogether. She applied every notion that defined a "weapon" to herself. In the end, this course of action yielded results that surprised both Voymastina herself and her creator.和其他人形一样，威玛西娜也同样有着丰富的情感。 这一事实很长一段时间内都不被旁人认同，但这的确是客观事实。 出于萨曼莎·肖博士的期望，以及其本身设计上的目的，最重要的，在“狼眼系统”的影响下，威玛西娜的情感几乎长期处于被压抑的状况。从客观上说，狼眼系统占据了威玛西娜大部分的心智算力，导致她在情感模拟上缺乏足够的惯性，而从主观上说，其制作者——即萨曼莎·肖对其赋予的期望同样是威玛西娜几乎从不展现个人情绪的要因。 肖对威玛西娜的定义，是最强大的武器，这一定义同样影响了周围人对威玛西娜的认知，而威玛西娜本人则坦然接受了这一定义，并努力将其贯彻，是以，威玛西娜以表露情绪为耻，大部分时间，她甚至拒绝承认自己存在情绪，彻底以“武器”的标准要求自己。 而从结果而论，这一行为最终还是产生了令制作人和本人都感到意外的后果。

Record 3After being defeated by AK-12 in a one-on-one duel with the "principle of overcoming strength with weakness", Voymastina committed herself to studying combat techniques with fervor, even greatly changing her combat style in the process. In her initial mission outings, out of her faith in her own armor, Voymastina did not consider any damage short of fatal damage as any loss at all. She would barge through the enemy formation like an armored engine, making a beeline for nothing but her target. She would call these methods "efficient", though they had the cost of the amassed repair bills that bore a great weight on Statesec. After her showdown with AK-12, she found value in moving judiciously. Even against a foe far weaker than herself, she would take a far more measured approach, making sure to minimize her own losses. In her revenge battle against Gray, this difference in her was of particular note, having led her to defeat that shrewd and powerful adversary with only minor damage to her exterior plating. If not for the obstructive wave tactics Gray employed later, she would have been confident in her ability to end the encounter unharmed. "Oh dear, she was already terrifying enough. Now she's gone and grown a brain, too. If she was like this from the very beginning, I wouldn't have suggested that duel with her in a million years—I'd wager she'll never lose to anyone else ever again."在被AK-12以“以弱胜强的道理”在一对一的决斗中拿下之后，威玛西娜更加刻苦地钻研了战斗的技术，甚至极大地影响了她战斗的风格。 最初在执行任务的时候，基于对自身装甲强度的信心，威玛西娜几乎完全不考虑除致命伤以外的受损，犹如一辆装甲车般在敌阵之中横冲直撞，并直达任务目标，她将这样的行为称之为高效，代价则是国安局堆砌成山的维修账单。 而在与AK-12的决斗之后，她开始重视稳妥的行动，即便面对远比自己弱小的对手，也更多动用思考去应对，确保能将自身的损失控制在最小的范围——在对格雷的复仇战中，这一改变被表现得格外突出，她仅仅付出了外部装甲的些微损耗，便战胜了这个狡猾而强大的对手，倘若不是之后格雷使用人海战术进行阻碍，她有信心保持无伤的状态将其了结。 “哎呀，本来就已经很可怕了，结果还长出了脑子，要是当初就是这副样子，我可不敢说什么跟她单挑之类的话——现在的这家伙，可绝对不会输给任何人了。”

Record 4Voymastina cares not for her appearance. This comes as little surprise to most, considering the impression she always gives off. If not for her previous Leader's and logistics crew's insistence, chances are that she wouldn't even bother to mend her damaged synthetic skin during her ten years of wandering the Yellow Zone. To prevent the scenario of Voymastina taking after an Aegis' visual style, Alva took up the duty of taking care of her appearance, including maintaining Voymastina's synthetic skin and a variety of other processes that were completely meaningless by Voymastina's standards—such as doing her hair. Voymastina even displayed a rare instance of resistance towards this initially. She typically paid no mind to what Alva did with her, but she found herself unsettled by this without being able to find a proper reason as to why. This didn't continue for long, though. On a certain day, she took the initiative in putting forward a request that shocked Alva. She had never received a single bit of feedback or suggestions from Voymastina about the matter of looks, aside from this instance. "You said you had a hairstyle in mind, right? What might it be?" "...Braids." Alva quickly understood what Voymastina meant. She couldn't put a finger on what exactly that feeling was, just like how she wouldn't know just what was going through Voymastina's head—at the sight of that familiar hairstyle in the mirror again. But from then on, that hairstyle would be Voymastina's. Once more.威玛西娜对自己的外表毫不在意。 考虑到她一直以来予人的印象，这似乎并不是一件值得让人惊奇的事情。倘若不是队长及后勤人员的强烈要求，恐怕在十年黄区流浪期间，她连损毁的仿生皮肤都懒于修复。 为避免威玛西娜化身圣盾，埃芙肩负起了为其照料形象的责任，不仅包括威玛西娜仿生皮肤的养护，还有其他一些在威玛西娜看来，已经完全失去了意义的行为——例如，编头发。 对此，最开始的时候，威玛西娜难得地表现出了抗拒，她对埃芙如何摆弄自己毫不在意，但唯独在进行这一行为的时候，她坐立难安，却又找不到反对的理由。 但这种情况并未持续太久，甚至于，在某一天，她自己主动地提出了要求：这让埃芙感到十分的惊讶，她从未从威玛西娜这里得到过任何关于她外表的反馈和建议，除了这一次。 “你说你有想绑的发型，是什么呢？” “……辫子。” 埃芙很快便明白了威玛西娜的意思。 她说不清楚是一种什么样的感觉，就好像不知威玛西娜看着镜子当中，自己那熟悉的发型，又是作何感想。 但从那以后，这便成为了威玛西娜固定的发型。 再一次。

Record 5"Envy." That word comes from a Doll Voymastina would rather not speak of. As they would describe it, Voymastina harbors the emotion named envy towards AK-12, another member of Task Force DEFY. Many people attribute the cause of this to the intense emotions and obsession felt by Voymastina after her defeat in a privately arranged bout, considering her pride in herself as an ultimate "weapon". Or perhaps they're but mere inanities spewed by a Doll well-used to bantering deliriously, spoken as nothing more than taunts. Alva gradually grew to understand what those words truly meant after working as Voymastina's partner for many years, however. "Envy" casts the shadow of "loneliness". The "Wolf's Eye" grants Voymastina unmatched prowess in combat, but also strips her of her right to come to grips with the world conventionally. There was not a second individual who viewed the world in the same way she did, and Voymastina instead felt an incomprehensible loneliness, even if she herself didn't realize it. For that exact reason, we must imagine Voymastina expectant when she first heard of AK-12's existence, looking forward to the birth of her only kin. This yearning vanished when AK-12 appeared before her eyes. What Voymastina despised was not AK-12's spontaneous disposition or unique command style, but her unique "eyes", furnished with features that Voymastina did not have. By simply closing her eyes, AK-12 can observe the world as other Dolls do, only activating the "Wolf's Eye" system when her eyes are open. She was Voymastina's kin, yet she was different. She couldn't feel the same loneliness, nor did she bear the same expectations to be a "weapon". All of this felt like a betrayal to Voymastina. ...This is why, as of now, her animosity towards AK-12 has largely faded. She feels lonely no longer, and her compulsion towards AK-12 has naturally disappeared. Even if the Doll that eased the loneliness is no longer with her, she has no lack of trusted companions by her side who understand her.“嫉妒。” 这个词出自一位威玛西娜而今不愿提及姓名的人形，在她的口中，威玛西娜对同为忤逆成员的AK-12，抱持着名为嫉妒的情绪。 很多人以为，这样的评价，源于在一次私下的约斗中，以最强“武器”之名自傲的威玛西娜品尝到了人生第一次的失败之后产生的执着和强烈的情感。又或者，这只是那个习惯了戏谑和疯癫之语的人形出于挑衅目的的杜撰。 但在与威玛西娜搭档多年之后，埃芙才逐渐理解了这句话背后真正的含义。 “嫉妒”的背后，是名为“孤独”的背影。 “狼眼系统”为威玛西娜带来了一时无匹的强大战力，但同时也剥夺了她以平常的方式认知世界的权利，在这个世界上，并不存在第二个能像她这样看待世界的人，也许在威玛西娜自己都没有意识到的时候，她的确存在着无法被人理解的孤寂感。 也是因此，在最初知晓AK-12的存在的时候，威玛西娜的心情一定是期待的，期待着这世界上唯一的同类的诞生。 直到AK-12真正出现在她眼前。 她所厌弃的，并非是AK-12那跳脱的性格，也并不是AK-12独特的指挥方式，而是她那与她相似，却拥有着她所没有的功能的“眼睛”。 AK-12的眼睛，只需要闭上眼睑，便可以像其他所有人形那样，用正常的方式视物，仅在睁眼时会启动狼眼独特的集成式数据收集分析系统。她是威玛西娜的同类，却也不是，她无法体会威玛西娜的孤独，也不需要承担作为“武器”的期待，而这一切，都令威玛西娜感受到了“背叛”。 ……这也是为什么，如今，她对AK-12的抵触已然大大消退。她不再感觉孤独，自然也不会因此而对“她”心存执念。 尽管最初为她消减孤独感的人形已然不在，但是而今，她已拥有了诸多能够依赖和对她表示理解的同伴。

Record 6Voymastina is rarely seen without the "Sinbreaker" nowadays, always bringing this piece of equipment that is nothing short of a lethal weapon. Even so, she hasn't let up on her training, which piqued my curiosity. "...The Sinbreaker is no conventional armor." When I asked her out of pure curiosity, I had expected an answer like "It's not good to rely on equipment too much and ignore one's own strength". I never foresaw an answer as straightforward as the one I received. "Unlike the 'Sinner', the 'Sinbreaker' was designed for Dolls from the moment of its conception. Put more precisely, it was designed only for me." She speaks calmly as she wipes down the Sinbreaker's chassis. "It is capable of covering allies, but has next to no protection for the pilot—That is why I still carry a firearm while operating it. Handling it requires significant strength, and a human inside would be turned into nothing but minced meat. An insufficiently strong Doll would be torn apart as well." "Alva can manage three minutes inside." "...I had no idea it was so terrifying." I can't help but be amazed. "By the way, is this another work of Dr. Shaw's? Why was something this impressive kept hidden away for so long? Same for... when your frame was upgraded." "A great wall stands between design on paper and in reality." Voymastina answers me coolly. "There existed a series of challenges with material science when I was first being created. The one who solved those problems was Dr. Persica." "Strength cannot be attained by simply fusing sturdy materials with expensive instruments. Even the purest steel can only be compressed so much." "Ah, I get it." I nod. "I can score 100 points with 1 million Sardis gold, but even with a hundred million, I would not be able to score 101." "The task for Dr. Shaw and the others was how they would surpass the limits in place. While designing me, Dr. Shaw's passion for her work came to its peak, and many of her concepts were retained as possible future modifications and upgrades for me." "To Dr. Shaw, the AK-15, though considered the strongest at the time, was only the result of compromise after compromise, a far cry from the creation she had envisioned." "...The Sinbreaker was one of Shaw's leftovers. Nele took over most of what Shaw left behind, and the Sinbreaker was the one deemed most replicable and beneficial to me among them. It took Nele quite some time, but the project was eventually a success." "So that's how it came to be..." I nod, lightly caressing the powerful armor. "...If Shaw were still here, she would have made Voymastina even more powerful, wouldn't she?" The thought naturally came to me as our conversation reached this point. I knew well that those words should never be spoken. "..." Voymastina's hands stop wiping. "Dr. Shaw has done all that she can." As if she had perfectly seen through me or come to the same thought, she lightly mutters as she looks up at the Sinbreaker with absolute calm on her face. "The rest should be left to me." "...And the rest of us, too." I smiled, picking up the other towel in the bucket and began to work alongside her. "How long do you reckon I would last if I sat down in there?" "No such thing will take place. I will not allow it." Her expression is even more grave than usual. She's still no good at making jokes.如今威玛西娜与“断罪者”机甲几乎形影不离，在外出执行任务的时候，她必然会带上这通常可以算作最终兵器的装备。而即便如此，她也没有丝毫懈怠自身的锻炼，这倒是让我觉得有些好奇。 “……‘断罪者’并不是一般的外骨骼机甲。” 当我怀揣着好奇之心，对威玛西娜提出这一疑问的时候，我本以为会得到的回答会是“不能过分依赖装备，而疏忽了自身的强大”之类的东西，但没想到，答案比我想象得还要正经。 “和‘负罪者’不同，‘断罪者’设计之初就是为人形提供的外骨骼，准确而言，就是为我而定制的。” 威玛西娜擦拭着断罪者的外壳，平静地说着。 “它虽然可以用于掩护战友，但却几乎没有保护着甲人的功能——这也是我在穿戴的同时，依然携带枪械的原因，并且，它需要足够的力量才能够驱动，如果是人类，坐上去就会被搅成肉沫，不够强度的人形则会被撕成碎片。” “埃芙可以坚持三分钟。” “……原来是这么恐怖的东西。”我不禁感到咂舌。“话说，居然又是那位肖博士的作品？为什么有这么多厉害的设计，却不早点拿出来？当时……你的素体升级的时候也是。” “……设计，和实现之间，隔着一堵高墙。”威玛西娜平静地回答。“我的素体，在最初制作我的时候，存在材料学上的难题，而将这一问题解决的是帕斯卡博士。” “‘强大’并不是仅用昂贵的仪器将坚固的材料合成就能实现的……即便只是单纯的钢铁，穷极压缩，也终会达到极限。” “啊，我理解。”我点点头。“用一百万萨狄斯金就能拿到100分，那就算后续再投入一亿萨狄斯金，也没办法拿到101分。” “如何突破上限，才是肖博士她们所需要攻克的难题。”威玛西娜点点头。“……在设计我的时候，肖博士的热情达到了她研究工作的最高点，因此在完成我的过程中，她提出了很多构想和设计，作为我的附属和后续升级的可能性。” “在当时看来最强的‘AK-15’，对肖博士而言，已经是‘妥协’后的产物，远远没有到达她所设想的极限。” “……‘断罪者’就是其中之一，肖博士的遗产大多数都被奈乐接收，这是她在其中挑选之后，认为自己能够尝试复现的，对我最具增益性的项目，尽管花费了很长时间，但奈乐最终还是成功了。” “原来如此……”我点了点头，轻轻抚摸了一下这具强大的外骨骼。 ……要是肖博士还在的话，一定会把威玛西娜做得更强吧。 话题进行到这里，我很自然地浮现出了这一念头，但我却清楚，这并不是适合说出口的话。 “……” 威玛西娜擦拭的手停了下来。 “……肖博士已经做完了她所能做的一切。” 就像看穿了我的心思——亦或是威玛西娜也和我产生了一样的念头，她轻轻地说着，仰头看着“断罪者”，面容平静。 “之后的事，该由我来完成。” “……还有我们呢。”我笑了笑，从水桶里拿起另一条毛巾，跟她一起忙碌起来。“你说要是我坐上去，能坚持多久啊？” “不存在这种可能性，因为我不会允许。” 威玛西娜的表情比平时还要严肃。 她还是不太擅长开玩笑。

Record 7Voymastina is fond of more stimulating foods. To be more accurate, she doesn't eat very often at all, but when there is no need for her to be out and about, she occasionally appears in the public area and eats in the same space as others. At times like these, one gains the rare opportunity to find out about her personal tastes. To start from the drinks she partakes in most, she rarely opts for Springfield's signature tea and coffee, drinking high proof vodka almost all of the time. Before downing it she tends to add pepper and accompanies it with raw ginger if the circumstances allow... I once tasted her brew and remember nothing of what came after, save for the resolve to never taste it again. On top of her unique preferences in drinks, Voymastina is also rather avant-garde in her choice of food—she enjoys eating bones. To be more accurate, she enjoys harder foods with sharp flavors. Once at a meal gathering, she silently placed the remaining bones from the meal into her mouth, chewing them into bits with loud crunches and swallowing them without a single hint of emotion on her face. It was such a disconcerting image that if Helena or Mayling were present, chances were they would've been scared to the point of tears. That was far from the most disturbing instance, too. "Oh... hey! I was practicing my cooking and accidentally made too much. Since you're here, y-you might as well help me finish all of this!" Those words from Makiatto made me immediately regret walking into the public area. I couldn't help but be curious, though. Makiatto's leaps and bounds in the culinary arts have been observed by many, but most of the time, she knows well how "potent" her work is. She rarely presents me with her "non-military small-scale lethal weapons". For her to approach me like so, she must have been at least a little confident that time. Catching onto what's going through my head, Makiatto places her hands on her hips, discontent. She raises a thumb, gesturing behind her: "See, she's already going at it and she's fine. Don't underestimate my abilities, okay?" I look in the direction she's pointing to find Voymastina, gulping down the food on the plate before her in large bites. She didn't look to be under duress (not that anyone on the Elmo could have placed her under duress), so could the food this time really not be that bad? Naively coming to such conclusions, I had a taste, only to be immediately hauled off to the emergency room by Colphne. After I came to, I learnt that Makiatto was virtually bouncing off the walls. Thankfully, the food was not toxic enough to do any real damage. Florence and Colphne initially wanted to dispose of the dangerous substance as medical professionals, only to find that Voymastina had already consumed all of it, and looked as though she wanted more. ...After that incident, everyone, myself included, gained a newfound reverence for Voymastina.威玛西娜喜欢刺激性强的食物。 其实准确地来说，她基本不怎么吃东西，但在不必外出的时候，偶尔也会出现于公共区，和其他人一起用餐。 在这种时候，就十分难得地会了解到她的一些私人口味。 从最常出现的饮品开始说，她很少喝春田最自信的红茶和咖啡，基本都在饮酒，并且是最烈的伏特加。在喝之前，她会在酒里掺入胡椒，条件允许的情况下，还会佐以生姜并饮……我曾经出于好奇而尝过一次，随后就失去了那段记忆，只留下我绝对不会品鉴第二次的决心。 而除了这种独一份的饮酒风格，在食物的挑选上，威玛西娜也十分的独树一帜——她喜欢吃骨头。 准确地说，是一些味道刺激，或是比较坚硬的食物。 在一次聚餐的时候，她沉默地将餐盘中剩余的骨头送入了嘴，然后面无表情地，咔嚓，咔嚓地嚼碎，而后吞咽。 那画面实在太过骇人，我甚至感觉如果海伦娜或者美玲在场的话，都有可能会被吓哭出来。 这甚至都不是最惨烈的一回。 “喂……喂！我刚刚在练习做菜，不小心做多了，既然你刚好来了，就，就帮我吃一点吧！” 那一次，玛绮朵的一句话，便让我马上产生了后悔走进公共区的念头。 但我在警惕的同时，也稍微产生了一些好奇——虽然玛绮朵在厨艺上的“建树”是有目共睹的，但其实大多数时候，她对自己的“威力”还是心中有数，极少会把“非军事小规模杀伤性武器”端到我的面前。 而她既然出现，说明这次还真有些自信……？ 仿佛看穿了我的想法，玛绮朵双手叉腰，一副不满的样子，抬手用拇指指了指身后：“已经让那家伙吃过了，什么事都没有，别小瞧我好不好！” 我顺着她指的方向看过去，发现威玛西娜坐在那里，用勺子大口大口地吃着盘子里的食物。 她看起来不像是被强迫（在艾莫号上大概也不存在有能强迫她的人），既然如此，那看来这次是真的还不错……？ ——抱着这种天真的想法，我尝了一口，然后就被寇尔芙紧急拉进了急救室。 我之后得知，在我昏迷之后，玛绮朵急得上蹿下跳，所幸食物本身没有太强的毒性，所以也没有给我造成什么伤害。在确认我无恙之后，寇尔芙和芙洛伦本想以医护人员的身份处理掉危险品，结果却发现威玛西娜已经全部吃完了，甚至有些意犹未尽。 ……那之后，在另一种层面上，大家（包括我）都对威玛西娜敬畏有加。

Record 8Once Voymastina stopped maintaining a massive distance with everyone... to be exact, once Krolik bit the bullet before everyone else and approached her, many individuals became interested in sparring with her. Voymastina displayed no aversion to this, and rather, it became the only "group activity" she had any degree of enthusiasm for. While passing by the training room, I often see her training against other Dolls. Her opponents would often be Krolik, Klukai, and Qiongjiu. Occasionally Groza, Jiangyu, and Faye took part as well. Even Alva herself would join in the action from time to time, and in those cases the other Dolls would stand by and observe. I've been part of the audience a few times, too. The pressure she exerts on her opponent is absolute, though it's different in nature from her presence on the battlefield. She never exerts any more force than would be necessary for "training", and even so, no one has managed to take a round off her yet. I happened to spot her finishing up a spar with Krolik one day. "...Gah, no way that's happening!" Krolik tumbles to the ground, catching her breath. "You've gotta be some kinda monster, right?!" Voymastina only returns to a neutral stance, remaining silent. Watching as she moves without a single wasted motion, the soldier in me that had long lain dormant was stirred awake. "Voymastina," I say before thinking it through. "Could I join in too?" The training room immediately falls silent as Krolik and the Dolls in the audience look at me with disbelief. "Hey, Commander, you sure about this?" Krolik puts a palm to her face. "I'm sure she'll hold back, but..." "...Yes." Voymastina nods. I wave my hand, reassuring Krolik: "It'll be fine. Voymastina won't hit me too hard." As much as everyone trusted Voymastina to not do anything that would hurt me, they all still looked concerned... But it's not like that can be helped. Even I began to wonder if I was just being silly after the impulse had worn off. We stand apace in the center of the training room, facing each other. Voymastina remains emotionless while I let out a long breath. Speaking earnestly, in terms of CQB technique, I would be proficient among humans, but nowhere near the finest in the world. Even so, having practiced for as long as I did, I had some faith in myself... But what would faith do against the iron bastion before me? "Swish—" I make the first move, trying to take the initiative. The very next moment, I find myself landing on the ground backside first. "Gah... that hurts..." For once, Voymastina appears a little caught off guard. She remained emotionless, but her movements were no doubt frantic. She helps me up, quickly assessing the state of my body—most likely worried for my bones. "Apologies. I placed too much force in that." "Oh, it's fine... ahaha... I'm only human, after all." I rub my posterior with a smile on my face. "Rather, you did pretty well not making it any worse for me." Voymastina stares at me as if in thought. I lament my poor decision made on a whim, preparing to leave and vacate the training room so that they could continue. Voymastina places a hand on my shoulder. "...Voymastina? What is it?" "You're leaving many openings in your movements. I can help you train." "Huh? No, wait, I'll be alright... It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, h-hold on.... Help me, Krolik!" What came after could be summarized as a piece of good news, and a piece of bad news. The bad news is that no help came. Whether they wanted to simply watch me or were confident that Voymastina wouldn't hurt me I do not know, but the Dolls only observed, and a crowd even formed as time went on. The good news is that Voymastina's training was highly effective. An extra piece of bad news: my ass hurts. An even further piece of bad news: Voymastina said she would be designating training regimens for me regularly. "..." Watching as I clutch my rear with a pained expression, Voymastina slowly closes her eyes. "...The stronger you are, the more likely you are to come back alive." I couldn't quite catch what she was muttering, but whenever she suggested again that she would help me train, I gladly accepted.在威玛西娜不再拒人于千里之外之后，具体地说，在克罗丽科做第一个吃螃蟹的人之后，艾莫号上不少人都产生了想和威玛西娜对练看看的兴趣，对此，威玛西娜也并不抗拒，倒不如说，这是她唯一的，感到有些许热衷的“集体活动”。 我时常会在路过训练室时，看到她与其他人形对练的身影。 她的对手通常是克罗丽科、可露凯、琼玖，偶尔也会是闪电、绛雨、绯，甚至埃芙自己也经常下场，那时候其他人形就会在一旁围观。 我观察过几次，在对练中，她展现出的压制力是绝对的，但又与她在战场上的状态截然不同。她从不使用超出“练习”范畴的过度力量，点到为止，然而即便如此，也从没有谁能够从她手里拿下一胜。 那一天，我恰好看到她与克罗丽科的对练结束。 “……不行了，打不过！”克罗丽科一屁股坐在地上，大口喘着气，“你这家伙，真的是怪物吗？！” 威玛西娜只是平静地收回了架势，没有回答。看着她那干净利落、没有任何多余动作的身姿，我那早已生锈的、属于士兵的本能，不知为何被挑动了。 “威玛西娜，”我不由自主地开口，“我也可以参加吗？” 训练室里瞬间安静了下来，克罗丽科和旁边围观的几名人形，都用一种难以置信的眼神看着我。 “喂喂，指挥官，你认真的吗？”克罗丽科扶着额头，“虽然她会手下留情，但……” “……可以。” 威玛西娜点了点头，我则笑着对克罗丽科摆摆手：“没事，威玛西娜会留情的。” 虽然大家也都信任威玛西娜不会做出伤害我的事，但依然每个人脸上都挂着不安的表情……也没办法，毕竟连我自己在激情冷却下来之后都觉得我是不是在犯傻了。 我们走到训练场的中央，相对而立。 威玛西娜的表情依然没有任何波动，而我则长出了一口气——老实说，只说搏击技术，即使在人类当中，我也只能算是比较优秀的那类，但绝对算不上拔尖。即便如此，锻炼至今，我对自己还是有些信心的……这份信心，面对眼前的铁塔，又有几分意义呢？ “咻——” 我先发制人，想要抢占先机，但就在我拉近距离的下一秒，仅仅只在一瞬间—— 天地倒转，我眼前的景象倒悬了过来，下一秒，我的屁股就重重地摔在了地上。 “啊……痛痛痛……” “………………………………………………” 威玛西娜破天荒地显得有些窘迫，虽然依旧面无表情，但动作有几分匆忙。 她将我扶起，迅速开始检查我的身体——大概是担心我的骨头出问题。 “……抱歉，我没有，控制好力道。” “没事没事……哈哈……毕竟我只是人类嘛。”我一边揉着屁股，一边笑着说。“不如说，面对我能做到这种程度，你已经收力很多了。” “……” 威玛西娜看着我，一副若有所思的样子。 我暗叹自己的一时兴起果然是做了一件蠢事，便准备要退场离开，把舞台留给她们继续训练。 然后，威玛西娜的手就拍在了我的肩膀上。 “……怎么了？威玛西娜？” “你的动作有很多破绽，我可以帮你训练。” “欸……等，不，不用……我只是突发奇想，等，等一下，克罗丽科，救我啊！！” ……后来发生的事，大概可以概括为一个好消息和一个坏消息。 坏消息是，没有任何人来救我，当时在场的人形们，不知道是想看我笑话，还是单纯只是知道威玛西娜不会伤害我，总之只是在旁边看着，甚至后来聚集的人还越来越多。 好消息是，威玛西娜的训练非常有效。 补充一个坏消息，我的屁股很痛。 再补充一个坏消息，威玛西娜说她会经常为我制定训练方案。 “……” 看着龇牙咧嘴，一脸狼狈地揉着屁股的我，威玛西娜轻轻闭上了眼。 “……强一些，生还率……就能再高一些。” 我没太听清她的喃喃自语，但后来，威玛西娜每次提出要帮我训练的时候，我都欣然前往。
