(It is a bright and sunny afternoon in the satellite city of CHE-02—)（CHE-02卫星城，一个阳光明媚的下午——）

(There aren't many people in the satellite city during the daytime. Sharkry and Centaureissi are each pushing a cart along the road.)（白日的卫星城中人不算多，夏克里和桑朵莱希各推着一个推车走在路上。）

(The carts are piled high with boxes. Lost in the joy of consumer hedonism, Sharkry hums merrily and skips her way along the road.)（推车上的箱子小山一样垒着，夏克里沉浸在购物的愉悦中，她嘴里哼着歌，步伐也蹦蹦跳跳起来。）

Sharkry...Planning~ the angle of the lights ♥ Stage filled~ with purple haze! If you're not careful~ I'll end up deceiving your eyes—Wow~ ♥……灯光~计算的角度♥舞台~升起紫色烟雾！ 不小心的话~就会跌入视觉的骗术——呜哦~♥

CentaureissiAre you going to sing that song for the live show at the cafe?是为店庆表演准备的歌？

SharkryThat's right! I went with a song about magic to go with the magic show we'll be putting on. What do you think? Will it be good?没错！为了配合魔术表演，我专门选择了魔术主题的歌哦，怎么样怎么样？

CentaureissiI don't understand music too well, but it sounds very cheery.我不太了解音乐，但听上去很欢快。

SharkryTeehee~ Well, I put a lot of effort into picking this song! There'll be a grand pigeon trick to go with it, so once the song hits its climax, the fireworks will go up with a bang~ I'm sure everyone will love it!嘻嘻~这可是我精心挑选的曲目！配合华丽的鸽子魔术，等到歌曲最高潮的时候，再让烟火升空——“砰”的一下！大家一定都会沉醉其中的！

CentaureissiI see, so you bought fireworks and live pigeons.原来如此，所以您买了烟火和活鸽。

SharkryOh yes, Centaureissi, I haven't thanked you yet~ Thank you for helping me with the shopping today~ Otherwise Sharkry would have had to make several trips to move all this stuff ♥啊对了，桑朵莱希，我还没有道谢呢~谢谢桑朵莱希今天帮我采购~要不然的话，夏克里要跑好几趟才能搬完这些东西呢♥

CentaureissiThat's alright. The Manager reminded me to help you with the cafe live several times.没关系，店长嘱咐了我好几次要好好协助您完成店庆表演的准备。

SharkryAh—speaking of which, there's one more thing I'd like you to help me with~啊——说到这个，我还有一件事想请您帮忙哦~

CentaureissiGo on.请讲。

(Sharkry shoves her cart forward and lets go of the handle before doing a little pirouette and extending an inviting hand to Centaureissi.)（夏克里猛地一推手中推着的小推车，双手松开握把，原地旋转一圈做出邀请的动作。）

(As she sees the small mountain of boxes on the cart about to fall over, Centaureissi frantically reaches out to keep it upright.)（眼看推车上堆成小山的箱子即将崩塌，桑朵莱希赶紧伸手稳住。）

SharkryMiss Centaureissi, would you honor me by being my beautiful assistant?桑朵莱希小姐，我能有幸邀请您来做我的伴演助手吗？

CentaureissiAssistant?助手？

SharkryYou'll be helping me with some tricks like releasing the pigeons, holding up fire hoops, and such. Simple stuff, really!就是帮我表演一些魔术啦，放放鸽子、举一下火圈什么的，很简单的！

CentaureissiFire hoops don't seem too safe to me—火圈恐怕不太安全——

SharkryThat's why I need the ever-reliable Centaureissi to keep everyone safe~所以为了大家的安全，只能找可靠的桑朵莱希帮忙啦~

SharkryPleeeease~ It's really very simple, and I won't be able to do the show without an assistant. That would make the Manager and Sharkry very sad... so how about it? Help me out?求求您嘛~真的很简单，而且要是没有助手的话，就没办法演出啦，那样店长和夏克里都会伤心的……好不好？

CentaureissiAlright, I understand.好，我知道了。

SharkryTeehee, thank you! I just knew you'd say yes. You might seem a little cold, but you'd definitely agree to help~嘻嘻，谢谢！我就知道，桑朵莱希虽然看上去有点冷冰冰，但一定会同意帮忙的~

SharkryMm... Unlike a certain stuck-up little miss who spends all day freeloading at the cafe and STILL refuses to help out.嗯……和某个白吃白喝还不肯帮忙的大小姐不一样呢。

CentaureissiSomeone who freeloads each day... Are you talking about Miss Makiatto?白吃白喝……是说玛绮朵小姐？

SharkryWhat's this, you think she's a freeloader too?什么什么，原来桑朵莱希也觉得那家伙是白吃白喝呀~？

CentaureissiNo, not at all, I was merely conjecturing. Currently, she's the only one who doesn't have to pay for meals at Zucchero. You seem a little prickly toward her. Did something happen?没有，只是推测。目前，来店用餐不用付款的也就只有她了。 您对她的态度似乎很尖锐，发生什么事了？

SharkryOh, it's nothing, but you know how the cafe live coincides with the Cherkasy Carnival, right? And a carnival needs mascots, but even after I begged her for so long, Little Miss Makiatto refused to put on the mascout outfit to help bring in customers for me~也没什么啦，就是店庆的时间不是刚好和狂欢节很近吗？说到切尔卡瑟狂欢节，一定要有玩偶吉祥物的对吧，可是我求她好久，大小姐都不愿意帮忙穿上玩偶服来帮我招揽客人欸~

CentaureissiShe doesn't like being the center of attention.她是不太喜欢引人注目。

SharkryBut it's not as though she has to show her face in a mascot outfit, so nobody will know it's her... And then, she even said Sharkry's idea was lame! Isn't that rude?可是穿着玩偶服又不用露脸，没人会知道里面是她嘛……而且而且，她还说夏克里的主意很无聊！不过分吗？

Centaureissi...I think this is simply Miss Makiatto's way of expressing herself.……我想，这只是玛绮朵小姐一贯的表达风格。

SharkryGoodness, to think even you're taking her side, Centaureissi! Is Sharkry not cute enough?真是的，怎么连桑朵莱希也站在她那边，难道是夏克里不够可爱吗？

CentaureissiIt's not like that...不是这样……

CentaureissiEveryone communicates in their own way and I think you might be a little too—每人的沟通方式不同，我觉得，您有些过于针对——

SharkryWow—this is so cuuuuute!哇——这个，好可爱！

Centaureissi...……

(Sharkry notices something on display in a shop window and promptly ditches her cart once again to hop, skip, and jump over to it. Her eyes go as wide as saucers as she gawks at the interior.)（夏克里注意到路边橱窗中展示的商品，又丢下小推车，蹦蹦跳跳地跑到橱窗前，双手圈着眼眶朝里面张望。）

(Interrupted mid-sentence, Centaureissi is forced to drag both carts behind her in an effort to catch up with Sharkry.)（被打断话头的桑朵莱希不得不一人拉着两台推车跟上她。）

SharkryCentaureissi, shall we get this one?桑朵莱希，我们买下它好不好？

Centaureissi...A mascot outfit?……玩偶服？

SharkryYup! Just look at these fluffy ears! They're just like a real cat's. I'm sure the customers will love it!对！这个毛茸茸的质感看上去像真的猫咪一样，客人们一定也会喜欢它的~

CentaureissiBut you already have a bear suit.可是您已经有一套熊的了。

SharkryHaving another mascot around ought to liven the mood up even more, right? It's not often that we get to have a cafe live plus a city-wide carnival!多一个吉祥物的话气氛也会更热烈吧？这可是难得的店庆plus狂欢节哦！

CentaureissiThen who will wear it?谁来穿呢？

SharkryWho... uh, I'll figure it out. I'll just let my lovely assistant wear it, having a mascot assistant is very cute too~谁……我会搞定的啦，大不了就让助手小姐穿嘛，玩偶助手也很可爱呢~

CentaureissiBy lovely assistant... Are you talking about me? I could certainly wear it, but after taking our budget and the cafe live plan into consideration, I don't think we should make an unplanned purchase.助手小姐，是说我吗？ 虽然我可以穿，但结合演出计划和目前的预算情况，我认为不应购买计划外的物品。

SharkryEhhhh~ While being straightforward is one of your strengths, Sharkry still feels a bit sad about it... And you keep talking to Sharkry in that formal tone. Do you not like Sharkry...唉——虽然打直球是桑朵莱希的优点啦，但夏克里还是会觉得难过呢……而且也不肯改口，都一直这么客气地叫夏克里，是不是不喜欢夏克里呀……

CentaureissiPardon me. I meant to say that the bear is cute—抱歉，我的意思是熊已经足够可爱——

CentaureissiGet down!趴下！

SharkryHuh?欸？

(Sharkry crouches down as a miniature security robot flies past her head, barely missing her and smashing the glass storefront behind her—its point of impact is where her head was a moment ago.)（夏克里蹲下身，一个小型安保机器人擦着她的头顶飞了过来，砸碎了她身后的玻璃橱窗——撞击点正好是刚刚夏克里的脑袋所在的位置。）

(She slowly raises her head and glances toward the shattered window. The kitty mascot costume she has been looking at has a huge hole in its belly, and the security robot's carcass is smoldering in the hole and throwing off sparks.)（夏克里探出脑袋，朝破碎的橱窗里看去。她刚刚看中的猫咪玩偶服腹部破了一个大洞，安保机器人的残骸正悲惨地在洞里闪着电火花。）

SharkryKitty—ahhhhh, kitty's become a Halloween kitty! What the heck! Is the forecast partly showers of killer security robots or something?!猫咪——哎呀，变成万圣节猫咪了！ 什么啊！今天的天气是局部降安保机器人吗？

CentaureissiOver here! Take cover!这里隐蔽！

(Centaureissi drags Sharkry behind the fully-laden carts and carefully peers through the gaps in the boxes. Several machines are running wild all over the street, throwing nearby objects at the mini security bots chasing them.)（夏克里被桑朵莱希拽着躲到装满箱子的小推车后面，小心翼翼地从缝隙中张望，只见几台机械在街道上横冲直撞，不断将身边的东西扔向追着它们的小型安保机器人。）

SharkryThat robot—is it holding a traffic light?!那个机械——那家伙手里拿着的是红绿灯？！

SharkryUwah, it threw the traffic light~ It must have thrown that security bot just now too! Why are they throwing all that rubbish? What are they going to do if something hits Sharkry?!哇，那家伙把红绿灯扔出去了！ 刚才的安保机器人一定也是它扔的吧！怎么乱扔东西呀，砸到夏克里怎么办啦！

CentaureissiLooks like they're out of control. Let's observe the situation.看上去像是失控了，先观察一下情况。

SharkryHmm... The situation is that those security bots can't even get close! They're useless! Ahhhhh—here they come!嗯……情况就是那些安保机器人连靠近都做不到，完全没有用嘛！ 啊——它们过来了！

CentaureissiThey're going for that truck opposite us! Look out!它们的目标是对面的货车！小心！

(A berserk machine rushes at a small cargo truck that's taking on goods. In a fit of maniacal pique, it begins grabbing its contents and throwing them all around.)（失控机械冲向对面正在装货的小货车，丧心病狂地抓起货车里的箱子向四周丢去。）

CentaureissiWe should use this opportunity to get out of here ASAP.趁现在，我们快离开这里。

SharkryWait! Centaureissi! Look over there, there's a—等等！桑朵莱希！那边、那个人——

Centaureissi—!——！

(Someone who looks like a driver hurriedly jumps down from his vehicle and frantically tries to gather up the boxes.)（货车上匆忙跳下来一个像是司机的人，正手忙脚乱地试图捡起地上散落的箱子。）

SharkryWhy is he even bothering with those boxes at a time like this? He's going to end up like that traffic light before the police show up! Centaureissi, we can't just leave him there!这时候了还管箱子干嘛——糟糕，等不到治安队过来，他就会被扔出去变成刚刚那个红绿灯了！ 桑朵莱希，我们不能丢下他不管！

CentaureissiBut you lack combat experience, and I...可是您的实战经验太少，我又……

SharkryAaargh, there's no time! Let's just give it a shot! If we can't beat them, we can always flee together! Sharkry's the only one who can help him right now, after all.哎呀来不及了，先试试再说嘛！ 打不过就一起逃跑，谁让现在也只有夏克里能帮他了呢。

Centaureissi...Very well. Be careful, I'll back you up.……好，一切小心，我会支援您。

SharkryBang~ Teehee, it's settled ♥ That's what you get for messing up my kitty!砰~嘻嘻，搞定♥ 哼，弄坏我的猫咪就是这种下场哦！

CentaureissiAre you alright?没事吧？

SharkryI'm perfectly fine~ Did you actually think tin cans like that would be able to take me out?完全没事哦~难道桑朵莱希以为我会被这种铁皮垃圾干掉？

CentaureissiThat's good to hear... I apologize for not being able to help out.那就好……抱歉，我没怎么帮上忙。

SharkryHeehee, you just need to help out at my show~ Come on, we should go. An idol's precious time shouldn't be spent on answering police questions. Centaureissi, where are the things we bought?嘻嘻，桑朵莱希只要能给我的表演帮上忙就好啦~ 我们快走吧，偶像的宝贵时间可不能用在被治安队盘问上。桑朵莱希，我们买的东西呢？

CentaureissiWell... Ah...东西……啊……

SharkryWait, aren't they all over the ground?这不是撒了一地嘛！

SharkryAhhhh—seriously!啊——真是的！

SharkryAnd that guy we saved was so heartless! He picked up all of his stuff and ran off! He could have at least stayed to help us, right? Isn't he afraid that cute little Sharkry will shed a tear?被我们救了的那个家伙也太无情了吧！捡完了自己的就跑得一干二净，也不知道留下帮帮我们！不怕可爱的夏克里哭泣吗？

CentaureissiWe need to hurry, the police are here!抓紧时间，治安队要来了！

SharkryYes, got that— Hup—hnnng?我知道了啦—— 嘿——唔？

SharkryGood heavens, this box is heavy! Mr. Fireworks Seller is truly an honest merchant! Quick, lend Sharkry a hand, Centaureissi!天啊，这箱子好沉！烟火商人也太实诚了吧！ 桑朵莱希，快来帮帮夏克里！

CentaureissiI'll take care of it. You should go pick up the rest of your items.交给我吧，您去收捡其他物品。

SharkryMhm!嗯嗯！

(After a flurry of activity, the two of them finally manage to gather up all the boxes and put them back on the crates. Before they can breathe a sigh of relief, however, the two of them have to beat a silent and hasty retreat from their messy surroundings as the sound of police sirens fills the air.)（一阵手忙脚乱，两人终于将散落的木箱全部放上了推车，来不及松一口气，两人在警笛声接近之前安静而迅速地离开了一地狼藉的现场。）

Unexpected Visit 意外来访

(Makiatto sits at the counter inside the bright and clean Zucchero Café and casually picks up a flyer.)（窗明几净的方糖咖啡馆中，玛绮朵放松地坐在吧台边，随手拿起了一张广告传单。）

(Without thinking, she folds it into a paper plane and raises her hand, pointing the plane outside the nearby window. The calm atmosphere makes her thoughts drift into the distance...)（心不在焉地将那张传单折成了纸飞机的样式，玛绮朵抬起手，把飞机对着窗外比了比。平静的氛围让她的思绪飘向了远方。）

(Where could they be now? In the Yellow Zone? Or perhaps the Red Zone, which is more dangerous?)（那个人……现在在哪里呢？黄区？还是更危险的红区？）

(If only this plane could ride the wind to their side...)（如果这架飞机能顺着风飞到那个人身边就好了……）

(It's all because of that damn agreement—)（都怪那该死的协议——）

SpringfieldOh my, Sharkry's going to get mad if she finds out you were folding her concert flyers into paper planes. Here, your specially-blended caramel macchiato.啊呀，用传单折纸飞机，我家的夏克里可是要生气的哦。 来，你的特制焦糖玛奇朵。

(Springfield deftly removes the paper plane from Makiatto's hands and unfolds it, then quietly slides the stack of flyers by her side away from her.)（春田轻巧地从玛绮朵手中抽走纸飞机展开，又把原本放在玛绮朵手边的传单拿远了一些。）

MakiattoHmph, is this the cafe live you're going to hold? The flyers are fancy enough, but there's no time to actually hold the event itself.哼，这就是那什么店庆表演？传单做得花里胡哨，举办时间都找不到。

SpringfieldWell, aren't you concerned about the cafe live now? Why did you act so cold before? Is it because you were fighting with Sharkry?你这不是还挺关心店庆的吗，为什么之前装得那么冷淡？ 不会就是为了和夏克里闹闹别扭吧？

MakiattoHah? Do you think I'm childish enough to get into it with her? You must be kidding.哈？我幼稚到和她闹别扭？别开玩笑了。

SpringfieldI see, then if you're not fighting, I would have thought she would have invited you to perform on stage with her.这样啊，没有闹别扭的话，我还以为她肯定会邀请你一起表演呢。

MakiattoW-what nonsense is that? And besides, who wants to dress up as a bear anyway? That's so dorky!说、说什么傻话！再说了，谁要穿成一只熊啊，也太蠢了！

SharkryWhat's so dorky? Were you guys discussing something, Manager? Sounds like you were having fun~ So tell me about it ♥什么太蠢了？店长在聊什么？好像很开心哦~跟我也说说嘛♥

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, you're going to bump into the Manager.夏克里小姐，您要撞到店长了。

(The cafe door opens and two mountains of boxes lurch in. Centaureissi is barely visible from behind her pile, but Sharkry is completely obscured by hers.)（敞开的咖啡店大门口，两座箱子组成的小山被推了进来。桑朵莱希还能勉强从山后露出一个脑袋，夏克里则被完全挡住了。）

(Springfield rushes out from behind the counter and helps to bring them in.)（春田赶忙走出吧台，过去接应。）

SharkryHehe, if you don't let Sharkry in on the conversation, I'll just have to bury you with these boxes~嘻嘻，如果店长不让夏克里加入话题，就用箱子把店长埋起来哦~

SpringfieldIt was nothing, we were just chatting. You two, on the other hand... Did something happen to you?没什么，只是闲聊而已。 你们两个……路上遇到什么事了？

CentaureissiManager, we—店长，我们——

SharkryHuh, I thought we managed to clean up our faces and clothing... How did you know, Manager?咦，服装、仪容应该都确认收拾好了呀……店长怎么发现的？

SpringfieldThe two of you do look good, but your boxes show signs of being banged-up.你们两个确实漂漂亮亮，但是那些箱子的边角都有磕碰的痕迹哦。

SharkryAw~ Well, that's the Manager for you, you immediately realized Sharkry's prettiness ♥哎呀~不愧是店长，一下子就发现夏克里漂亮了♥

SharkryHm? You helped me print the flyers already? You're the best Manager ever~咦？店长已经帮我把传单打印出来了吗？夏克里最喜欢店长啦~

SpringfieldDon't change the subject.不要想着糊弄过去哦。

SharkryHeehee, then I'll let Centaureissi make her report~ Sharkry needs to go advertise the show to our customers ♥ Sharkry has a hunch that the cafe live is going to be a great success!嘻嘻，那就由桑朵莱希来汇报吧~ 夏克里现在就要去向客人们宣传店庆表演了哟♥夏克里有预感，店庆表演一定会取得成功的！

MakiattoHow can Dolls even get hunches?人形能有什么预感。

SharkryLame Dolls without a single romantic bone in their body certainly won't, and besides, Sharkry can't hear aaaanything said in such an uncute voice~没有浪漫细胞的无聊人形才不会懂呢，而且这么不可爱的声音，夏克里完全听不到哦~

MakiattoHah? As if I need to be cute—哈？我又不需要可爱——

(Before Makiatto can finish, Sharkry has already scampered out of the cafe with a fat stack of flyers in her arms.)（不等玛绮朵说完，夏克里就抱着厚厚一沓传单跑走了。）

SpringfieldAs for these things... We can't let them block the way of our customers. Centaureissi, please help me move them into the kitchen and then give me a quick rundown on what happened. Once we're done, we'll go welcome the customers.这些东西……也不能堵住顾客的路呢。桑朵莱希，麻烦你先把东西放进准备室，然后向我简要说明一下发生了什么事。完成之后就来招呼顾客吧。

CentaureissiUnderstood.了解。

SpringfieldWhat happened to the two of you? Things weren't so tense before, were they?你们两个怎么了？之前气氛还没这么紧张吧？

MakiattoLike I know.我哪知道。

SpringfieldHm—嗯——

(At the cafe entrance, Sharkry is talking to a very annoyed-looking customer.)（入口的位置，夏克里正在与一名表情看起来很不耐烦的客人说话。）

SharkryHiiii~ Since you're a regular customer to Zucchero, would you like to come to our cafe's live show?您好~看您经常光顾方糖，或许对我们的店庆表演有兴趣吗？

Impatient CustomerI'm here to eat. Stop bothering me.我只是来吃饭的，不要打扰我。

SharkryI'll just put your flyer here, then. Feel free to give it a read.那传单放在这里啦，请您随意查阅。

(Makiatto harrumphs quietly and turns away from Sharkry. Then, she picks up the crumpled flyer beside her and starts folding it into a paper plane.)（玛绮朵轻哼一声，收回了偷瞥夏克里的目光，又拿起手边皱巴巴的传单折起纸飞机。）

(Soon, the door to the cafe's kitchen opens. Centaureissi emerges while wearing an apron and prepares to brief Springfield on the events that transpired earlier.)（没过多久，吧台后准备室的门打开，桑朵莱希系着围裙走出来，准备向春田解释之前发生的事情。）

(After thinking about the best way to do it, she adds several maps of the region where the incident took place and sends them over to Springfield.)（想了想，她把事情的经过附上几张街区的地形图，一起发给了春田。）

(Springfield picks up her terminal.)（春田拿起了自己的终端。）

(...)（…………）

SpringfieldI see the situation, Centaureissi. But you should be more careful next time.桑朵莱希，事情我已经了解了，但下次还是要更加谨慎点哦。

CentaureissiGot it.好的。

MakiattoWell? Did she do something annoying again?怎么？是那家伙又做什么招人烦的事了吧？

CentaureissiNot at all. Why do you ask, Miss Makiatto?没有。 玛绮朵小姐为什么这样说？

MakiattoW-why, you say? It's, it's...什、什么为什么……

SpringfieldSharkry has convictions of her own too, you know.夏克里她也有自己的坚持哦。

(Makiatto does not answer. Instead she turns away, frowning a little.)（玛绮朵没有回答，只是扭过了头，眉头微微皱起。）

(Not far away, Sharkry hands a flyer to a more amicable-looking customer.)（不远处，夏克里拿着一张传单，递给了一个看起来比较好说话的客人。）

Springfield(Sigh)唉……

(Springfield sighs and then heads over to Sharkry.)（春田叹了口气，走向了夏克里。）

SpringfieldSharkry, the things you bought this morning are still piled up in the kitchen. Would you mind tidying them up?夏克里，上午采购的物品还堆在准备室里，你先去整理一下好吗？

SharkryHuh? Manager?哎，店长？

SharkryWait, what's that noise...这声音是……？

SpringfieldCould you go take a look? I'll handle things over here.去看看怎么回事吧？这边交给我。

SharkryUgh...唔……

(Sharkry thinks for a bit, then puts a flyer down for the customer from just now before running over to the kitchen, which is the source of the noise.)（夏克里想了想，她把传单放到那位客人的桌上，然后向着持续发出杂音的准备室跑去。）

SpringfieldI'm sorry for any inconvenience we might have caused.抱歉，让您为难了。

Amicable CustomerThat's fine, bill please. Also... You might want to reconsider the timing of your live show.没关系，结账吧。 另外……店庆的时间，可能再考虑下比较好。

SpringfieldPardon? ...Do you mean to say... this isn't a good time for it?欸？ ……您的意思是……这个时间，不合适吗？

SharkryAiiiieeeee—呀啊——

Amicable CustomerWhat's going on?怎么了？

SpringfieldIt's okay, I'll go take a look. Centaureissi, please help settle this customer's bill.没事的，我去看一下。 桑朵莱希，麻烦你为这位客人结账。

CentaureissiGot it.好的。

(From where she's sitting at the counter, Makiatto watches as Springfield hurries into the kitchen and tilts her head.)（吧台边的玛绮朵看着春田小跑着进了准备室，歪了歪头。）

(Meanwhile, more noise comes from the kitchen.)（与此同时，准备室方向再次出现了杂音。）

Impatient CustomerIt's so noisy in there, quiet down, will you?吵死了，能不能安静点？

CentaureissiMy apologies. Please do not be alarmed. I will head inside to see what is going on.对不起，请您稍安勿躁，我现在就去查看一下情况。

MakiattoLet me do it.我去吧。

CentaureissiMm, thank you.嗯，麻烦您了。

(Makiatto gently pushes the door to the kitchen open. The first thing she sees are Springfield and Sharkry with grim looks on their faces. In front of them is a—)（玛绮朵轻轻推开准备室的门，首先看到的是严阵以待的春田和夏克里，两人面前，有一只——）

MakiattoWhat—wait, what is that?! A Super Dinergate?什——它、它是什么啊？！超级兵蚁？

SpringfieldAhhh—be quiet, we don't want to startle the customers.嘘——小声点，不要吓到顾客。

MakiattoBut letting it out would really frighten them, right? So, what is this? It's covered in guns and it doesn't look like an ordinary Super Dinergate. Should I kill it?让它跑出去才会真的吓到顾客好吧？ 所以，它是什么东西？身上这么多长枪短炮，看上去可不像普通的超级兵蚁啊。要干掉吗？

SharkryHey, don't ask me, this isn't the one I bought...我也不知道啊，我买的明明不是这个……

MakiattoYou bought a Super Dinergate?!你买了超级兵蚁？！

SharkryI told you, I didn't! Manager, Makiatto's auditory modules are broken!都说不是了！ 店长，玛绮朵的语音识别模块坏掉啦！

SpringfieldShhh—嘘——

Super Dinergate (?)Deetdeetdeet—deetdeetdeet—嘀嘀嘀——嘀嘀嘀——

SharkryWhat is it doing?它在干什么？

SpringfieldFrom the blinky lights on it, I think it's trying to connect to Zucchero's server...看指示灯，应该是在尝试连接方糖的服务器……！

Super Dinergate (?)Deetdeetdeet—beepbeep—beepbeepbeep!嘀嘀嘀——哔哔——哔哔哔！

SharkryWait, why is it pointing its guns at me?!为、为什么要把枪口对准我？！

MakiattoIt's going to shoot!它要开火了！春田！

SpringfieldIf it fires from this position, it'll hit the customers... I'm granting you access to the server; you two connect to Level II and disable its attack orders!这个位置，如果开火一定会伤到客人们…… 我现在开启服务器权限，你们两人接入二级平层，解除它的攻击指令！

Danger Wanted 危险通缉

MakiattoAttack orders disabled, Springfield!攻击指令解除了，春田！

SpringfieldHm... I'm trying to backtrace them and acquire command permissions for it.嗯……我正试着反向追踪，获取它的控制权限。

Super Dinergate (?)Beepbeep—beep... Beep...哔哔——哔……哔……

SharkryTeehee, weren't you acting all badass just now? You look cuter with your head down in despair ♥嘻嘻，刚刚不是很威风吗？ 还是现在这种垂头丧气的样子更可爱呢♥

Super Dinergate (?)Beep—!哔——！

(Sharkry does a little pirouette mid-air as she jumps up to the Super Dinergate that had been pointing its guns at her just a moment ago and gently raps on its head. The sight of its suddenly raised muzzle frightens her into retreating to her original distance.)（夏克里转着圈跳到刚刚还张牙舞爪的可疑超级兵蚁面前，敲了敲它的脑袋，结果被它突然再次竖起的枪管吓得原地跳起。）

SharkryUwahhhh—what, what the heck?呜哇——这、这这是干嘛？

Super Dinergate (?)Beepbeepbeepbeep!哔哔哔，哔哔！

MakiattoWhat's going on?怎么回事？

SpringfieldI'm trying to get permission to edit its memory logs... Looks like the Super Dinergate has registered what Sharkry said just now as an attack order.我正在查找权限修改记录……好像是把夏克里刚才的话登录为攻击口令了呢。

SharkryWait, what did I say just now?哪句话？

SpringfieldThat would be "Uwahhhh—"“呜哇——”这句哦。

Makiatto...Are you kidding?……你们在开玩笑吗？

SharkryIt's not like I knew that would happen—我也不知道会这样嘛——

MakiattoNever mind, that's not important. This guy is really dangerous. You should turn it off, Springfield!算了这不是重点。这家伙很危险，春田你最好还是把它关掉吧！

SpringfieldMm.嗯。

Super Dinergate (?)Beep—哔——

(The Super Dinergate retracts all its weapons back inside its body, its blinky lights go out, and it crouches quietly on the ground. It looks completely harmless and even a little cute.)（超级兵蚁身上的武器全部收回了体内，指示灯也熄灭了，安静地蹲在地上，看上去非常无害，甚至有些可爱。）

(Sharkry remains well out of reach, still eying it warily.)（夏克里却依然站在稍远处，疑神疑鬼地看着它。）

SharkryUm... It's not going to suddenly go "Beep—" again, right?唔……它不会再突然“哔——”了吧？

SpringfieldIt won't. Now then, Sharkry, can you tell me what's going on here?不会了。 那么，夏克里，现在可以好好解释一下了吗？

SharkryUm, umumum... I came here to clear the stuff inside, like you said. Then I opened the door and found it standing over there, like it was going to pick a fight with a storage cabinet.就、就就是……夏克里只是按照店长的吩咐，乖乖地到这里准备整理东西，结果一打开门，就发现它站在那边一副要和储藏柜打一架的样子呢。

SharkryThe cafe's treasures are all in there, so Sharkry couldn't let it cause any trouble, and then... Well, things turned out like they did when you arrived, Manager.那里边都是咖啡馆的宝贝，夏克里肯定不能允许它乱来啦，结果就……就像店长赶过来时的样子了。

SpringfieldUm... Are you sure you didn't touch anything weird?嗯……你真的没有误触什么？

SharkryI didn't! Really! Manager, Sharkry's going to be sad if you say that!真的没有啦！店长这么说夏克里会难过的！

MakiattoCome here and take a look at this. There's a hole in this box.你们过来看。 这个箱子上有个洞。

MakiattoIt must have crawled out of this box, then.应该，就是从这个箱子钻出来的吧。

SharkryHuh? What's this? Did it start up by itself? And it busted out of its box. That's so scary...哎？怎么回事，难道它自己启动了吗？还破坏了箱子？好可怕哦。

MakiattoYou're one to talk! You bought this, didn't you? And you bought a Super Dinergate too! Did you even check to see what you were getting? If anyone finds out about this, the police will be here to lock down Zucchero for an investigation!你还好意思说，这些不都是你买回来的东西吗？ 连超级兵蚁都敢买，你有认购资质吗？让别人知道的话，治安队马上就会赶来查封方糖！

SharkryLike I was saying—it was supposed to be a second-hand pet Dinergate!所以说——我买的是二手的宠物兵蚁啦！

SharkryI was going to use it to jump through fire hoops! It was supposed to be a cute little thing with a ribbon on it, not this steroid-overdosed Dinerpig! There's no way Sharkry would like anything this uncute!打算用来表演钻火圈的，身材小巧还有蝴蝶结，不是这种可以拍肌肉电影的东西！这么不可爱夏克里才不喜欢呢！

MakiattoYou were going to make it jump through fire hoops?钻火圈……？

SharkryYeah, it was a bright yellow pet Dinergate; I even picked out lion ears, a mane, and other furry accessories for it.是啊，是一只柠檬黄色的宠物兵蚁哦，我还给它买了搭配的狮子耳朵和鬃毛配饰呢！

MakiattoAre you sure? Did you buy too much useless junk and ended up getting it mixed up with—你确定吗？真不是买了太多没用的东西结果弄错——

SharkryWhat are you calling useless? If you ask me, the most useless thing here is—什么叫没用的东西？我看这里最没用的——

(Springfield slaps a hand over Sharkry's mouth and keeps her from saying anything else.)（春田一把拉住夏克里，阻止她继续说下去。）

MakiattoHaaaah—?!哈——？！

CentaureissiManager, there are no more customers for now. Is everything alright?店长，暂时没有客人了，这里还好吗？

SharkryCentaureissi! You're just in time—quick, tell them that this wasn't the Dinergate I bought!桑朵莱希！来得正好，快告诉她们，我们买的兵蚁根本就不是这只嘛！

CentaureissiThat's a Super Dinergate... What's going on?超级兵蚁……怎么回事？

SpringfieldLooks like you brought it back with the show supplies.看样子，它是被你们连同店庆物资一起运回来的。

CentaureissiNo, we did not buy this.不，我们所购买的，不应该是这只。

CentaureissiWe checked the goods in the store itself and the Dinergate in the box was not this one. It was a pet Dinergate that was painted bright yellow. This box is not the one we got from the store, of that I am sure.我们在店内验过货，箱子里的兵蚁不是它，是一只漆成柠檬黄色的宠物兵蚁。这个箱子也不是我们从店里拿到的，我能肯定这一点。

SharkrySee, I told you so.看吧，我早就说了嘛。

SpringfieldSo... What's going on here?这……到底是怎么回事？

Centaureissi...We had an accident, and I guess the boxes got switched up during the accident?……事故。事故里，箱子被弄错了？

SharkryHm? ...Ah, so that's what happened! This box belongs to that guy!嗯？ ……啊，原来是这样！是那个人的箱子！

MakiattoWhat accident? What guy? Could you elaborate?什么事故？什么人？你们说清楚点啊。

CentaureissiOn the way back, we got caught up in a disturbance caused by PMC robots. There was a truck loading cargo nearby and their boxes looked a lot like ours. Perhaps that was when they got mixed up.我们在回来的路上，被卷入了P.M.C.机械引发的骚乱。当时附近有一辆正在装货的货车。货车里的箱子和我们的外观上差别不大，也许是在混乱中被拿错了。

SharkryOh, that's right, we were in a hurry to leave and didn't open it up to check...对，当时因为急着离开，也没有打开检查……

CentaureissiI sensed a discrepancy in the box's weight, but the pressing circumstances meant that I did not verify further. I apologize. I am at least partially responsible for this incident.我察觉到重量似乎有差异，但时间紧急，没有做进一步的确认。 抱歉，这件事上我有不可推卸的责任。

SharkryHuh? Why are you taking it all onto yourself? That's not right, Sharkry was the one who insisted on sticking my nose into the whole thing!欸？怎么就都揽到自己身上啦？不对不对，当时要留下多管闲事的，是夏克里！

SpringfieldI see. I think I understand the situation. Neither of you are at fault here. It wasn't wrong to stay behind to save others...情况我了解了。 这件事不是你们两人的错，为了救人留在现场并没有问题……

MakiattoWho even cares, anyway?我说，那些事怎样都好吧。

MakiattoI think we should open and check all the boxes, in case there are other surprises inside waiting for us.我看还是先把箱子都打开检查一遍，说不定还有别的惊喜。

SpringfieldYup. Let's get to it, everyone.嗯，大家一起动手吧。

SharkryWhat—what's going on here—这、怎么回事啦——

SpringfieldThe live outfits are here, but the props for the magic show are all...演出服倒是都还在，但是魔术道具全都……

MakiattoWait, aren't these all military-spec weapons? Sharkry, you're not going to spray confetti with these, are you?这种规格的，是军用制式的武器吧？ 夏克里，你该不会是拿这些东西喷彩带吧？

Sharkry...Wow, you suck at telling jokes, Makiatto.……玛绮朵的笑话，真烂呢。

MakiattoI wasn't joking!我没开玩笑！

(Springfield shoots a disapproving look at Sharkry, and then she pats Makiatto's arm.)（春田不赞同地看了夏克里一眼，又拍了拍玛绮朵的肩膀。）

MakiattoAlright, let's try and figure out what's going on.行吧，那就来整理一下状况。

MakiattoFrom what we know, an accident occurred as someone was moving a shipment of military-grade weaponry, which got mixed up with Sharkry's magic props and both sides ended up taking the wrong things. If the weapons are here, then what do they have?按照现有情况推测，有人在运送这批军用武器的时候发生了意外，和夏克里的魔术道具弄混，互相拿错了。现在这些武器在这里，那么那人手里的是？

Sharkry...A bunch of pigeons, balloons, and fireworks... (Sigh) The pigeons and fireworks were so expensive...……是鸽子、气球还有烟花……唉，那些鸽子还有烟花好贵的啦……

MakiattoIs THAT what you're focusing on?!重点是这个？！

Centaureissi...……

SpringfieldWhat's wrong, Centaureissi?桑朵莱希，怎么了？

CentaureissiI lost one of my buttons. I think it fell into one of the boxes...袖扣不见了，可能是掉进了哪个箱子……

MakiattoIs that it? That thing over there that's reflecting light?是那个吧。反光那个。

CentaureissiThank you... Hm?谢谢……嗯？

CentaureissiIs this... a badge?这是……胸针？

SpringfieldIt looks like a wolf's head... I've never seen anything like that before.这个形状是狼头吗……没见过呢。

SharkryCan I see?让我看看？

SharkryHm... Doesn't look like it's from any line of branded goods.唔……不是任何时尚品牌的产品。

MakiattoIt might belong to the weapons' owner. You should put it back for safety's sake.可能是所有者标记，保险起见，先放回去。

SharkryBut doesn't that mean the boxes are marked? This is like fate giving us a helping hand~ Now we can try to find them and give them their stuff back, right?但箱子里刚好有标记？这简直就像命运一样呢~这样我们就可以试着找到他们，然后把东西送回去吧？

SharkryIt's not like we took the wrong boxes on purpose, so all we have to do is explain what happened and they ought to be willing to forgive the lovely little Sharkry ♥也不是故意拿错的，只要好好解释一下，他们应该会原谅可爱的夏克里呢♥

MakiattoIt won't be that simple. These weapons all look like they've been modified, especially that Super Dinergate.没那么简单。这些武器，看起来多少都经过改装，特别是那个超级兵蚁。

MakiattoThis level of firepower is beyond the needs of standard police work; it's flat-out breaking the law. No ordinary citizen can afford to modify these weapons, to say nothing of the expense of shipping them into a satellite city...这种程度的火力改装已经超出一般治安要求，属于非法行为。改装花费已经不是一般人能承担得起的，更别说还要运进卫星城……

MakiattoSpringfield, I'm worried that...春田，我担心……

SpringfieldThat it's linked to the activities of the underground organization in CHE-02?和CHE-02这里活动的那些地下势力有关？

MakiattoMm.嗯。

SharkryWell, it doesn't matter who they are; all we need to do is either return their stuff or hand it to the cops, right?是谁都没关系，我们还给他们或者是交给治安部门不就好啦？

Makiatto...Which fairytale kingdom did you even come from, Little Miss Princess? Do you have any idea how dangerous these people are?……你是哪里来的大小姐吗，知不知道他们有多危险啊？

MakiattoYou think they're like the customers who come in to try your blended coffee? Dealing in modified weapons is illegal, my dear, whether you're buying or selling. Once they know you and Centaureissi came into contact with their supply chain AND took their product, everyone in Zucchero—and the cafe—is going to disappear from the face of the earth!你当他们是过来喝你那些特调的客人吗？交易改造军用武器是违法的，不管卖方还是买方，他们一旦知道你和桑朵莱希接触过他们的供应链，还拿到了他们的东西，方糖的所有人加上咖啡馆都会立刻消失！

(Makiatto's tone is stern and Sharkry is clearly shaken up.)（玛绮朵的口吻有些严厉，夏克里愣了一下。）

(However, she recovers with a flutter of her eyelashes and after wiping the shock off her face, she smiles.)（但她很快就扬了扬眉毛，调整表情，露出笑容。）

SharkryWell, since you're so concerned about Zucchero, do you have any ideas to help, o wise and experienced Miss Makiatto?您既然这么为方糖着想，那您又有什么好办法？经验丰富的玛·绮·朵小姐！

MakiattoActually, I was thinking—我正在想——

SharkryOho—well, while you're not a clueless sheltered princess like me, I'm sure even the wise and experienced Miss Makiatto would have needed time to think of a plan to deal with this, right? So you weren't devoting all your processing power to badmouth Sharkry then~哦哦——就算和我这种天真的大小姐不同，经验丰富的玛绮朵小姐思考对策也需要时间呀？原来不是把算力都分配在对夏克里恶语相向上了嘛~

MakiattoYou think you're worth a single operand of my processing power?你还值得我分配算力？

SpringfieldCool it, you two. Sharkry, I know you're trying your best to think of a solution to this crisis, but Makiatto's concerns are valid.你们两个，冷静一点。 夏克里，我知道你在努力想办法解决危机，但玛绮朵的担心，的确也是有道理的。

Sharkry...Yes, yes, I know~ Sharkry just thought Makiatto was too tense and wanted to lighten the mood, but I guess the opposite happened, teehee ♥……好吧好吧，知道啦~ 夏克里只是感觉玛绮朵很紧张，想缓和一下气氛嘛，结果好像起了反效果呢，嘻嘻♥

Makiatto...Hmph.……哼。

CentaureissiDid something happen between the two of you?两位之间，发生什么事了吗？

Sharkry...Aw, it's nothing... Okay fine, Sharkry won't say a word.……哎呀没有啦……好嘛，夏克里不说了嘛。

(Makiatto folds her arms and remains silent, while Sharkry simply tucks her hands behind her and lightly stomps on the squirming Dinergate. Springfield chuckles, at a bit of a loss for how to handle the pair.)（玛绮朵抱着手臂不说话，夏克里也只是背着双手用脚尖轻轻踢了一下静止不动的兵蚁，春田有些无奈地笑了笑。）

SharkryIs it me, or is it really noisy outside?外面好吵啊？

CentaureissiSounds like a municipal broadcast.好像是城内广播。

SpringfieldLet's go out and listen to it.出去听听。

Municipal BroadcastDear citizens, your attention please. We will be broadcasting an emergency notification: an emergency curfew will be enforced on CHE-02, effective immediately. All commercial establishments will be required to close for business within two hours.各位市民请注意，现在播放一则紧急通知：CHE-02卫星城即刻实行紧急管制，全部商业设施与机构需于2小时内配合关闭。

Municipal BroadcastCitizens who wish to venture outdoors must supply an itinerary of their intended journey and cancel all non-essential outdoor activities. If an emergency arises, please report to your district office within 30 minutes. Citizens will be notified of the curfew's expiry at a later date. Message repeats: An emergency curfew...计划外出的居民们请调整出行计划，取消非必要的外出活动。如有紧急情况，请于30分钟内就近报告至所在社区。紧急管制结束时间待通知。重复，现在播放……

SharkryAn emergency curfew? But why?紧急管制措施？为什么？

SpringfieldThey didn't mention the reason... And nobody mentioned anything like that recently... In any case, let's just close the cafe as requested. But if the curfew ends up lasting a long time, we may need to cancel the cafe live show.没提到原因呢……近来也没有收到过类似情报…… 总之，先按照要求闭店，如果管制时间很长，可能就要取消店庆了。

SharkryWe're cancelling the cafe live?! Oh yeah... if the curfew lasts until next week, the live is going to be affected!取消店庆？！ 对哦……如果下周还没有结束管制，店庆肯定会受影响的！

MakiattoOi, do you even know what's going on right now? In any case, you should start by figuring out how to deal with all the junk here. With the curfew in effect, it's going to be more difficult to do anything!喂，都什么时候了，还是先想想房间里的那些东西怎么处理吧，在管制措施之下，任何行动都会变得更加困难啊！

SpringfieldCalm down—先别着急——

SpringfieldIt's a call from Leva... Centaureissi, could you take Sharkry with you and begin closing the cafe? Remember to email our regulars to let them know.是莱娅的通讯……桑朵莱希，麻烦你带着夏克里去处理闭店流程吧。记得给熟客们都发个邮件通知一下。

CentaureissiUnderstood.了解。

SharkryUgh...唔……

CentaureissiWhat's going on?怎么了？

SharkryNow why did Leva call right at this time? Could it be linked to the emergency curfew...莱娅怎么刚好在这个时候联络？会不会是和紧急管制有关啊……

MakiattoWhy are you so worried, anyway? I brought in the blackboard at the doorway for you, no need to thank me.担心那么多干嘛？门口的黑板帮你们收进来了，不用客气。

SharkryNot like I was going to anyway... Pfft!不会客气的哦……噗！

SharkryI'll clear the counter up, then~那我来收拾吧台~

Makiatto...What's with her?……她搞什么？

CentaureissiMiss Makiatto, your face.玛绮朵小姐，脸。

(Makiatto absentmindedly reaches up to wipe her face and finds her hand covered in chalk dust. She quickly glances into a piece of reflective glass, then uses her sleeve to frantically try and clean her face.)（玛绮朵茫然地伸手抹了抹脸，在发现自己沾满粉笔灰的手指后，迅速看向能够反光的玻璃窗，接着用袖子胡乱摩擦起自己的脸。）

(God, that was so embarrassing... Good thing they didn't see!)（太、太丢人了……还好没被那个人看到！）

(From the corner, Springfield watches the trio at work and sighs in relief before smiling and turning to take the call.)（角落里的春田看了看忙碌的几人，轻轻舒了一口气，微笑着转身接起通讯。）

LevaSpringfield? Sorry, something urgent came up; I might need your help.春田？ 抱歉，我这边发生了紧急事态，可能需要你的帮助。

SpringfieldWhat happened? It sounds bad.怎么了？这么着急。

LevaUm... Actually, there's a wanted criminal who's been active around Kyiv. He might have gone to Cherkasy recently. His name is Peterke Farkas and he's primarily involved in the illegal acquisition of military weapons and then modifying and selling them, among other related criminal activities.嗯……其实，有一个在基辅周边卫星城活动的通缉犯，最近可能去了切尔卡瑟。彼得克·佛尔卡什，主要从事非法获取军用武器并进行改造和出售等犯罪活动。

SpringfieldHe modifies military weapons...!改造军用武器……！

SharkryKya—!欸——！

CentaureissiMind the glasses!小心杯子！

LevaWhat?怎么？

Springfield...It's nothing, go on.……没什么，你说。

LevaMhm. Farkas has been wanted for over half a year now, but the Department of Public Security hasn't been able to nab him.嗯。佛尔卡什已挂在通缉名单上半年多了，但治安部门一直没能抓到他。

SpringfieldFarkas... He sounds very cunning.佛尔卡什……看来非常狡猾呢。

LevaIndeed he is~ He uses the many times he's evaded pursuit to promote himself, and his reputation has spread from the Kyiv region to Cherkasy.没错~他更是利用自己多次成功逃过追捕的经历为自己做宣传，名声已经从基辅周边扩大到切尔卡瑟附近了呢。

LevaWe recently received a report stating that his most recent customer was in Cherkasy. He might well be heading over there with his merchandise.最近有情报表明，他的最新交易对象位于切尔卡瑟的卫星城，而他本人也很可能跟随货物一同前往了。

SpringfieldI see... Actually, CHE-02 just announced an emergency curfew. I suspect it might have something to do with his arrival.原来如此……其实，刚刚CHE-02卫星城发布了紧急管制措施，我想可能和这位先生的到来有关。

LevaHmm, looks like the CHE-02 authorities must have found a clue about him, which means he ought to be in CHE-02.嗯，这么看来，CHE-02的治安部门应该已经发现什么线索了，他应该就在CHE-02。

SpringfieldThat said, why are you so concerned about this, Leva?但是，莱娅你为什么关心这件事？

LevaHehe.... Not long ago, we seized some military weapons from an illegal PMC. However, they were stolen during transportation. We learned that Farkas is planning to sell these weapons, the same batch that we lost.嘿嘿……前不久我们从非法P.M.C.处缴获了一批军用武器，但在运送途中就失窃了，我们得到线索，佛尔卡什即将出售的这批军用武器，就是我们丢失的那批。

SpringfieldHm, which means you guys in the Non-Military Forces Administration are responsible for recovering those weapons.嗯，所以你们非军事力量管理局也担负了寻回军用武器的责任。

LevaThat's right~ And wouldn't you know, the NOMFA just doesn't have anyone on hand that we can send to Cherkasy to handle the matter...答对啦~而且不巧的是，目前非军事力量管理局没有可供派遣的人手前往切尔卡瑟处理这件事……

SpringfieldAlright then. There are some things I can do in CHE-02.好的。在CHE-02，我能够做的事情也多一些。

LevaThank you. You're as reliable as ever, Springfield~ That said, you're going up against someone with a lot of firepower on his side, so whatever you do, please make sure you keep yourselves safe; and "Zucchero" too, of course.谢谢，春田还是一样可靠欸~ 但是，再怎么说，对方也是拥有强火力的通缉犯，春田你们在行动时还是优先保证自身安全，当然还有“方糖”。

SpringfieldI will, don't worry. It's not often that you ask me for help, so I'll make sure I take care of this appropriately.好，你放心。 这可是——来自莱娅的求助，相当稀有呢，我会妥善处理的。

LevaI'll wait for your good news, then.那我就等你的好消息。

SharkryManager, what did Leva call about? I heard something about "modified military weapons". Does this have something to do with that Super Dinergate? Who did it? Is it dangerous? What should we do?店长，莱娅有什么事呀？我听到了“改造军用武器”，会不会和那只超级兵蚁有关呀？什么人干的？危不危险？我们要做什么？

(Upon seeing Springfield hang up, Sharkry immediately sidles up to her and tugs on her hand while firing off a barrage of questions.)（看到春田挂断通讯，夏克里立刻凑到她身边，拉着她的手肘连珠炮地问出一串问题。）

(Springfield gently pats Sharkry's head.)（春田轻轻摸了摸夏克里的头。）

SpringfieldSharkry, you don't have to feel bad. This isn't your fault.夏克里，不用感到歉疚，这不是你的问题。

SharkryThen—isn't there anything Sharkry can do to help?那——那夏克里没有什么能帮忙的吗？

SpringfieldAllow me to explain the situation. Leva said that a wanted criminal called Farkas has fled over here and he's wanted for illegal modification and trafficking of military firearms. Leva asked us to help catch him.先讲一下情况。莱娅说，有一个名叫佛尔卡什的通缉犯逃到这边来了，通缉原因是非法改造和倒卖军用武器，莱娅请我们帮忙协助抓捕他。

SharkryAs I thought, the stuff we're holding...果然，我们手里的那些东西……

SpringfieldYes, it's very likely it belongs to him.嗯，很有可能就是他的。

SharkryI can't believe he's a wanted criminal... But then, all we need to do is hand those weapons over to the police, right? That way we'll get rid of a hot potato and provide a clue for Leva to help catch that criminal. It's a win-win situation!既然是通缉犯……那我们只要把那些军用武器全部交给治安部门就可以了吧？这样既摆脱了烫手山芋，也帮莱娅抓捕通缉犯提供了线索，嘻嘻，一举两得嘛！

SpringfieldWell, about that...这恐怕……

MakiattoHmph, you think the police is going to let you off just like that?哼，你以为治安部门会放过你？

SharkryHuh? What do you mean?唔？这是什么意思？

MakiattoImagine you're a police officer, and one day, a Doll with a huge pile of military firearms comes in and says, "Oh hi, I found these military weapons on the road, and they just so happen to belong to the wanted criminal you were looking for. Go on, take it. It's a clue!" Would you honestly think this Doll had nothing to do with your criminal?如果是你，一个人形抱着一大堆军用武器说“这些马路上捡到的军用武器就是你们要找的通缉犯的，拿去吧这就是线索”，你会相信这个人形和通缉犯完全没关系吗？

SharkryBut it's true, I'm not lying.这是事实啊，我又没有说谎。

SpringfieldSharkry, sometimes you have to pay a price to tell others the truth.夏克里，有时候，为了告诉大家真相，是要付出一些代价的。

SharkryA price? But why?代价？为什么？

SpringfieldFrom the perspective of the fuzz, a clue that suddenly turns up is very suspicious. It might even be a trap. They'd have to investigate it.从治安部门的角度来说，突然出现的线索的确很可疑，甚至有可能是陷阱，他们必然会对此进行调查。

CentaureissiIf they were dealing with a Doll, they would probably just read your neural cloud data directly.对象是人形的话，应该会采取直接读取心智数据的方式吧。

Sharkry...They'd do that?!……读取心智！

SpringfieldMhm. And unfortunately, I'm in possession of a lot of information and resources from the gray zones, so I can't let anyone read my neural cloud data just like that.嗯。 很不巧，我手中有太多来自灰色地带的信息和资源，是不能随便交出心智数据的。

MakiattoYup. The military weapons would be small potatoes compared to that.是啊，真被发现的话，恐怕私藏军用武器都算是小事。

SharkryIt—it's that bad?有、有这么严重吗？

MakiattoWhat do you think? Even Springfield and I would be carted off, to say nothing of Zucchero being shut down. Also—你以为呢？ 到时候方糖关门不说，春田和我也会被带走吧？而且——

SpringfieldMakiatto!玛绮朵！

(Springfield raises her voice and indicates at Sharkry's pale face with her eyes.)（春田提高音量，用眼光向玛绮朵示意了一下旁边变了脸色的夏克里。）

Sharkry...I see, I... It seems I was being naive.……我明白了，是……我想得太天真了。

SharkryIt's one thing to bring this troublesome stuff back... But when I think about how I almost got Manager Springfield in trouble too... I'm sorry... I didn't know something like this could happen and I didn't think about it.带了麻烦的家伙回来不说……还想当然地差点害了春田店长……对不起……我不知道会这样，也没有多想。

MakiattoEr... It, it's not like you've exposed her or anything yet... why are you even blaming yourself ahead of time...呃……现、现在不是还没暴露吗……你提前自责起来是干什么……

SharkryI just, I just wanted Zucchero to be free of this troublesome stuff ASAP so it wouldn't affect the cafe live... So I panicked, I'm sorry...我就是、希望方糖能尽快摆脱这几箱麻烦东西，不要影响到店庆……有点着急，对不起……

MakiattoHey...喂……

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, I know you had Zucchero's best interests at heart. Don't you worry, we can think of a solution together.夏克里小姐，我知道您的本意是为方糖着想的，别着急，我们可以一起想办法。

SpringfieldThat's right. Don't worry, I'm sure we can figure something out.对，别担心，我们一定会想出解决办法的。

Sharkry...Is there really a solution?……真的会有解决办法吗？

SpringfieldOf course there is. Don't you believe in your Manager? I'm sure everyone would be sad if their idol burst into tears.当然，你不相信店长吗？ 偶像如果哭起来的话，大家也会沮丧的哦。

SharkryI'm not... I'm not crying, a perfect idol doesn't cry... Your visual modules are just defective, Manager!没有……我没有哭，完美的偶像才不会随便哭……是店长的视觉模块坏掉了啦！

MakiattoOh, really now? But your eyeliner and eyelashes are all smeared together.哦，是吗？你的眼线还有睫毛膏可都糊成一团了。

SharkryNo way! I used professional-grade waterproof makeup! I need a mirror... Where's my mirror...不可能！我用的可是专业的防水化妆品！ 我的镜子……唔，镜子呢……

MakiattoSo you DID cry then?那就是的确哭了？

SharkryNo! I didn't cry! My makeup is perfectly fine! You, you didn't see it, did you, Makiatto?没有！没有哭！我的妆容好好的，玛绮朵是、是没有看到吗？

(Although Sharkry denies Makiatto's statement in a huff, she still turns around to wipe away the tears in the corner of her eyes with her thumb, incidentally using her reflection in the nearby glass window to readjust the ribbon on her head.)（夏克里虽然义正辞严地否定了玛绮朵，还是不放心地转过身，用小拇指蹭掉了眼眶中的泪水，顺便照着玻璃窗上的倒影整理了一下自己头顶的蝴蝶结。）

MakiattoRight, back to the main topic; nobody from Zucchero is suited to openly handing the weapons over. That means the trick is to not let them know we're from Zucchero, right?哼，说回正题吧，方糖的人的确不适合出面上交军用武器，所以，只要不让他们知道是方糖的人就可以了吧？

Centaureissi...So you're saying we just don't have to be discovered, is that it?……您的意思是，在不被发现的情况下？

MakiattoYup, so just leave it to me.没错，这件事就交给我吧。

SpringfieldNo can do.不行。

MakiattoWhy not? Is there anyone else here who can dodge all the security cameras from here to the building entrance of Public Security?为什么不行？这里除了我还有谁能躲过从这里到治安部门大楼门口所有的监控摄像头？

SpringfieldIt's too risky, and you can't be sure that you can evade all the cameras, right? Are you trying to take everything onto yourself again?这风险太大了，你也不能保证自己可以躲过所有监控吧？而且你又想把事情揽到自己身上？

MakiattoWhat does it matter? It's easier for me to work alone. Plus, even if I'm caught, I can just run off by myself until the heat dies down.有什么关系，我一个人行动还更方便，就算被发现，大不了跑出去避避风头。

SharkryWait a minute, wait a minute, Sharkry can do it too ♥等一下等一下，夏克里也做得到哦♥

MakiattoHah? Since when did you have experience with sneaking missions?哈？你哪有潜入的经验！

SharkryAw, have you forgotten already, Makiatto? Sharkry might not know how to sneak around, but as a top-class idol, Sharkry is great with applying makeup to disguise herself~哎呀，玛绮朵忘记了吗？虽然夏克里是不懂潜入啦，但作为顶级偶像，夏克里可是很擅长用化妆来伪装自己的哦~

SharkryShouldering your responsibilities is an essential virtue for an idol ♥承担属于自己的责任，是优秀偶像的必备品德♥

SpringfieldAlright... Wait! While I'm very glad you feel that way, you do realize I'm the Manager, right?好——暂停！虽然很感谢你们有这份心，但店长可是我哦？

Makiatto...Not like I work for you.……我又不是你的员工。

SpringfieldAfter ruling out methods that are too risky, our priority now is to move these weapons away somehow. Otherwise, if someone finds out there's a large stock of contraband in the cafe, we won't be able to clear our name no matter what we do.排除风险太高的方法，当务之急是先把这些军用武器转移出去，否则被人发现店里有大量违禁品，不管怎么做都洗不清了。

SharkryLeave that to me, then. I'll make them aaaaalll disappear tonight with a "bang—" ♥那就交给我，我今晚就让它们“啪——”地全部消失♥

MakiattoYou're going to move them away? Do you know where to move them to?你要把它们转移走？你知道要转移到哪里？

SharkryAw, that's where you come in, wise and experienced Miss Makiatto! You pick the place and I'll send them there~ Discretion guaranteed.哎呀，这个时候就该经验丰富的玛绮朵小姐出场了嘛！玛绮朵来选定地方，夏克里运过去~保证神不知鬼不觉。

MakiattoOnce I pick a place, I might as well go myself. No need to go to all that trouble.选定地点后我自己去不就好了，搞那么麻烦做什么。

SharkryThere's so much stuff that if you tried to shift it by yourself, you'd be moving it until the end of the year! And besides...这么多东西，玛绮朵自己要从狂欢节搬到新年啦！而且……

Sharkry...Sharkry's not troublesome or anything.……而且夏克里才不是什么麻烦。

CentaureissiStill, if we move the weapons away, we might lose a clue to Farkas with them. That would make it hard for us to finish the task Miss Leva gave us.但是，如果将军用武器转移出去的话，我们可能也会失去与之相关的线索，这样莱娅小姐拜托的事情就很难推进了。

SpringfieldMm... But I feel that if Farkas is here to make a deal, he'd have a large supply of merchandise with him, not just what's in the kitchen.嗯……但我觉得，如果佛尔卡什是要来做交易的，就一定携带了更大量的货物，不会仅限于准备间里的那些。

CentaureissiManager, do you mean to say you intend to find the place where he's caching his goods?所以店长您的意思是，我们要试着找出他的藏货地点？

SpringfieldIndeed. I'm sure there must be a place where large amounts of merchandise are stored in CHE-02.没错，他们一定还有大批货物存放在CHE-02内的某个地方。

SpringfieldWhile everyone is moving the weapons, we should keep an eye open for any places which Farkas could be using as a storehouse. I think Leva will need that information.大家在转移手上的军用武器时，也可以注意一下有没有可能被佛尔卡什用作仓库的地方，我想这一定是莱娅需要的信息。

CentaureissiThen where should we move them to? Do you have any suggestions, Miss Makiatto?那么转移到哪里好呢，玛绮朵小姐有建议吗？

Makiatto...Port Vantiny.……华帝港。

SharkryPort Vantiny... You mean that abandoned port?华帝港……那个废弃港口？

MakiattoYes. After the Intercontinental Railway opened, Port Vantiny was abandoned due to disuse, so moving the weapons there would make things easier.对，洲际列车开通后，华帝港就因为无人使用荒废了，把军用武器转移到那里相对容易一些。

MakiattoAlso... CHE-02's rivers are linked to many satellite cities near Kyiv, and there are many unused warehouses and transport facilities there. It's very likely that Farkas would set his sights on that place.而且……CHE-02的河道与基辅附近多个卫星城相通，那里也有大量的闲置仓库和配套运输设施，很有可能会成为佛尔卡什的目标。

CentaureissiIndeed, if you were transporting large quantities of cargo, going by water would be an ideal choice—after all, it's not like he can strut around with it on the Intercontinental Railway.确实，如果携带大宗货物，使用水运是合理的想法——毕竟他们不能大摇大摆地搭乘洲际列车。

SharkryHm... But surely the police would have thought of that too, right?唔……但是，治安部门应该也想得到这一点哦？

SpringfieldYeah, they've probably investigated it too... However, for a wanted criminal, a place that was just vetted would make the perfect blind spot to hide.嗯，应该已经做过排查了吧……不过，对通缉犯来说，刚排查过的地方反而是更加安全的灯下黑区域呢。

SharkrySo we'll be going to the port to give Mr. Gunrunner a surprise?所以，我们要去港口，给那位通缉犯先生一个惊喜？

SpringfieldNo, we can't be sure that he's at the port. Our top priority is still to get rid of the weapons in the cafe, but we can probably investigate the location while we're there.不，还不能确定对方一定在港口。 我们的第一目标仍然是转移店内的军用武器，但可以顺便探查一下。

MakiattoRight. First, we'll transfer the items to an abandoned warehouse in the port. That'll give us more time and room to strategize. After that, we'll go with the flow and find a way to get the police to notice these military weapons, or even set a trap for that Farkas guy...嗯，先把东西转移到港口的废弃仓库，这样我们的策略空间也更大。之后再视情况，想办法让警察注意到这批军用武器，甚至也可以以此为陷阱引诱那个佛尔卡什……

SharkryTeehee, you sound so different whenever you're talking to the Manager~嘻嘻，玛绮朵对待店长的态度就不一样呢~

MakiattoI, I treat everyone the same!我、我对所有人都是一样的！

SharkryStill, Sharkry likes the idea of a trap, so thumbs up from me~ ♥ You'll need to hide your identity for a secret mission right? Then it's time for Sharkry's makeup skills to make an appearance~ Now come here!但是夏克里喜欢陷阱这个主意哦，所以赞成~♥ 秘密行动的话要隐藏身份吧？那夏克里的化妆术就要出场啦~快过来！

MakiattoH-hey! Quit pulling me! I don't need your makeup skills or whatever—aaaahhhh!别、别拉我！ 什么化妆术，我才不需要啊！

Stiff Doll 僵硬的玩偶

(CHE-02 today looks different from how it normally is. Many people are on the road trying to get what they need before the curfew kicks in as the evening draws near.)（今天的CHE-02与往日不同，为了在紧急管制前采购好物品，临近傍晚时分，街道上就有了不少行人。）

(The day of the carnival is approaching and some of the stores have begun decorating for it. Several mascots in suits can be seen near the store entrances.)（节日将近，一些店铺已经开始装扮了起来，在店门口，也出现了一些穿着玩偶服的人。）

(There is a person wearing a bear mascot outfit on one of the street corners. The person inside doesn't seem very used to it as they clumsily make their way down the street—)（街边一角，有一个穿着小熊玩偶服的。那里面的人似乎还不太习惯这套衣服，同手同脚地走在路上——）

Little Bear?...!……！

(With a "thud", the bear stops moving and stiffly lowers its head to examine its legs.)（“咚”的一声，小熊停下了脚步，僵硬地低头看向自己的脚边。）

Child—Ack! That hurts...——呜！好痛啊……

(The boy who bumped into the bear's leg falls on his butt. He looks up and the bear mascot before him jerkily reaches a hand out at him—)（撞在熊腿上的小孩摔了个屁股墩。小孩抬起头，面前的玩偶熊僵硬地伸出手——）

Child(Sniffle) The bear... so scary... Uwaahhhh—!呜……熊熊……好可怕……呜哇——！

MotherAh, honestly... Didn't I tell you not to run around while we're shopping? Sorry for causing you trouble.啊，真是的……我不是说了要赶紧去采购物资不要乱跑吗？ 实在对不起，给您添麻烦了。

(Facing the apologizing mother, the bear takes several steps back, as though it has encountered some great nemesis, flailing its arms frantically in front of it before turning and bolting away.)（面对表达歉意的母亲，小熊如临大敌地往后退了几步，双手在胸前夸张地挥舞了几下，猛地转过身跑走了。）

ChildWaaahhh—The bad bear ran away—mama—呜哇——坏熊熊跑掉了——妈妈——

Little Bear?Is this... the right way... Aarghhh—why do I have to wear this piece of crap!这里……方向正确…… 啊——我为什么要穿这破东西啊！

(In a certain alley in Port Vantiny—)（华帝港附近的某条街道上——）

(The bear comes to a halt near a little-traveled building. The person inside the costume leans against a corner and takes its headpiece off.)（小熊在一处行人稀少的建筑物附近停了下来，玩偶服里的人靠在墙角，一把摘掉了自己的头套。）

MakiattoGod, what a pain!真是烦死了！

SharkryHuh—But haven't you become more popular with kids after putting it on, Makiatto?欸——可是玛绮朵穿上后，明明变得受小孩子欢迎了？

MakiattoYou call that being popular?! He was practically in tears... And besides, I don't need to be popular with kids!那叫欢迎吗？！他都哭了好吧……而且、我、我又不需要受小孩子欢迎！

SharkryWell, you still need to wear that outfit. Now put the head on, Makiatto, hurry~衣服还是要穿好才行啦，玛绮朵快把头套戴上，快戴上嘛~

MakiattoTsk, this piece of crap is useless, and I can't see a damn thing in it! I should have never agreed to put it on. I look like a total dork!啧，这东西又没用又影响视野！当初就不该答应穿，蠢死了！

SharkryHonestly, you'd have been all over the security cameras if Mr. Bear hadn't hid your face. Yet you're calling him useless? You're so cruel, boohoo~真是的，要不是熊先生帮忙挡住脸，笨手笨脚的玛绮朵早就被监控拍得一清二楚了，现在却说人家没用，真是无情啊呜呜呜~

SpringfieldThat's enough, Sharkry. Makiatto, how are things on your side?夏克里，不要闹了。 玛绮朵，你那边情况怎么样？

Makiatto...Hmph. I've reached the security control room. I'm working on the door lock now. It should be open soon.……哼，已经抵达安全控制室了。正在解锁，马上就能打开。

SpringfieldAlright. Stay safe, there might be a camera or an alarm inside the control room...好，你注意安全，控制室内可能有监控或安全警报装置……

MakiattoYes, yes, I know. Don't worry.我知道我知道，别担心了。

MakiattoAlright, I'm in. Wait for word from me.好了，门开了，等我消息。

SpringfieldMm.嗯。

(After carefully checking her surroundings, Makiatto stares at the little bear headpiece in her hands for a full two seconds before reluctantly putting it back on.（谨慎地确认了一下周围的环境，玛绮朵和手中的小熊头套对视了两秒，还是不情不愿地将头套戴上。）

(Then, she enters the control room.)（随后，她走入了安全控制室。）

(The darkened motion sensor-controlled lights turn on, and Makiatto squints through the slits in her headpiece as she looks around. Then, she notices the cleaning log sheet on the wall—)（昏暗的感应灯亮起来，玛绮朵艰难地通过头套上的眼睛洞向外张望，一眼看到墙上的清洁记录——）

(It's been two years since someone last came to clean this place up.)（距离上一次有人来打扫，已经是将近两年前了。）

MakiattoSo nobody's been in here for two years... Let me see, this is the main control console, now where is the menu for the security cameras... Dammit, why doesn't this headpiece have bigger eyes?!两年没人进来过了啊……我看看，这个是控制台，监控的权限在……啧，这傻头套，眼睛就不能开大一点吗！

MakiattoAlright, found it. Now... Heh, Leva's hacking software better works.找到了，接下来……哼，莱娅的黑客程序最好有用。

MakiattoHuh? Why do I still need to support it... Ahhhh, what a pain! Let's get this over with quickly!哎？怎么还需要辅助操作的……啊，真是麻烦死了！快点把这一切结束吧！

Invasion Operation 入侵大作战

(After successfully gaining access to the security cameras, Makiatto breathes a sigh of relief.)（成功取得监控的控制权限后，玛绮朵松了口气。）

(She tries to free herself from the mascot costume while trying to contact Springfield.)（她一边接通春田的联络，一边试图把自己从玩偶服里剥出来。）

MakiattoSpringfield, I've cut the link between the port's security cameras and Public Security's servers.春田，我已经切断港口区监控和治安部门服务器之间的联系了。

SpringfieldThank you. Were there any surprises?辛苦了，没发生什么意外吧？

MakiattoNone at all. Hmph, that hacking software Leva gave us was useless. I can't believe I still had to launch an assist attack in Level II.没什么。哼，那个莱娅提供的黑客程序没什么用啊，竟然还需要我从二级平层辅助攻击。

SpringfieldHmm... That might be because the port district's equipment is old and there were incompatibility issues.嗯……可能是因为港口区的设备，普遍比较老旧，会有不兼容的问题吧。

MakiattoWho knows? I'm overwriting the views from all of the port cameras with looping feeds. I recommend you head out in 45 minutes.谁知道呢。 我正在用预设画面覆盖港口区监控，建议你们45分钟后出发。

SpringfieldUnderstood. Sharky, please perform a final check. We don't want any slip-ups.了解。 夏克里，麻烦你做一下最终检查，不要有疏漏哦。

SharkryKaaay~ That said, it's hard to imagine any slipups could happen with something Sharkry prepared ♥好哦~不过都是夏克里准备的东西，很难想象会有疏漏呢♥

MakiattoThat's what worries me. Don't come out dressed like a fashion show, you hear?就是这样才令人担心吧，你可别穿得花里胡哨出来，听到没？

SharkryMakiatto, you should worry about yourself first. The bear's eyes are a bit small, but that shouldn't be a problem for you, right? Teehee!玛绮朵还是先担·心·自·己吧，那个小熊的眼睛开得有点小耶，但玛绮朵的话肯定没问题吧，嘻嘻！

MakiattoI already took it off! Are you messing with me?!我已经脱掉了！你是故意给我找麻烦的？！

SharkryNooope~ And besides, Sharkry didn't make that one ♥才没有~那套衣服又不是夏克里做的♥

SpringfieldWere there any irregularities in the recent camera logs?最近的监控记录，有什么异常吗？

MakiattoNope. I saw that Public Security's search robots did come here, but it seems they couldn't find anything and left quickly.没有，只看到治安队的搜查机器人的确来过这里，但似乎没有发现什么，很快就返回了。

SpringfieldI knew it...果然……

MakiattoI'll go find a suitable warehouse for the weapons. I'll send you the location later.我去找一个合适的仓库放置军用武器。 确定后同步坐标。

SpringfieldAlright. Please stay safe.好，你注意安全。

MakiattoGot it. You worry too much.知道了，你也太担心过度了吧。

SharkryHeehee, Makiatto might say that, but I bet you're double-checking all the cameras to make sure they're overwritten, right?嘻嘻，虽然玛绮朵这样说，但现在肯定在检查监控是不是已经被完全覆盖了吧？

MakiattoThat—that's called being cautious! Just watch and learn, rookie! Now quit bothering me!这、这叫谨慎！菜鸟就给我好好学着点！ 好了别干扰我！

MakiattoAlright... Now Public Security won't notice even if Sharkry decides to hold a concert there.好……这样的话，就算夏克里那家伙在这里开演唱会，治安部门也不会察觉。

(After confirming that everything is ready, Makiatto crouches down and pulls her violin case out of the bear costume's tummy.)（确认完毕，玛绮朵蹲了下来，从地上的小熊玩偶服肚子里摸出自己的琴箱。）

(She hesitates for a moment, then picks up the bear costume and leaves the control room.)（犹豫了两秒，她还是抱起了小熊玩偶服，离开了控制室。）

Makiatto...There are far too many patrolling robots for an abandoned district... Though they're pretty ordinary in make.……对于已经废弃的区域来说，巡逻机械太多了……型号倒是很普通。

MakiattoNot picking up any suspicious IR signatures on night vision, so let's go with this location. Hm... now to install the chip containing the hacking program...夜视仪没有发现可疑热源，就这里吧。 嗯……装载黑客程序的芯片……

(After plugging the chip into the slot, the hacking program begins running.)（把芯片插入接口后，黑客程序迅速开始运转。）

(During this time, Makiatto holds up the cumbersome mascot outfit.)（趁这期间，玛绮朵把累赘的玩偶服往上拎了拎。）

(While moving on my own affords me a lot of freedom, it means I don't have anyone to give me a hand at times like these...)（一个人行动固然自由很多，但这种时候，连个搭把手的人都没有。）

(If only they were here... This costume should be big enough for them to wear it, right?)（要是那家伙在就好了……这套玩偶服尺寸够大，那家伙应该也能穿得上吧？）

(They're clumsy, though. I bet they wouldn't be as nimble as me if they wore this.)（不过那家伙笨手笨脚的，身上套着这种东西，行动肯定不会像自己那么灵活。）

(Makiatto smiles without realizing it as she thinks of how a certain person would have trouble walking if they were wearing this costume.)（想到那个人穿上玩偶服后不会走路的样子，玛绮朵不自觉地露出了一点笑意。）

(But in the very next moment—)（但下一秒——）

Makiatto..."Cannot decipher?" What's going on? Just how old is this electronic lock, anyway? Wait, this version number... Good lord, do the people here not know how to activate auto-update?!……无法解析？怎么回事？ 这电子锁是多少年前的老古董啊？这个版本号……真是的，这里的人都不知道设置自动升级吗！

Makiatto...All I can do is manually connect to the server and try to do something on Level II. Hmph, I'm sure this crappy system will have equally crappy defenses.……只能手动连接服务器，从二级平层想想办法了。 哼，这种破烂系统，防御想必也很弱吧。

Invasion Operation 入侵大作战

Makiatto...No irregularities detected.……确认无异常。

MakiattoSpringfield, I'm sending you the coordinates now.春田，仓库的坐标发送给你了。

SpringfieldAcknowledged.收到。

MakiattoJust send the things to the designated warehouse. Remember to move in using the route I sent you; that should avoid most of the security cameras. By the way, you're all dressed normally, right?你们把东西安全送到指定坐标的仓库里就行。记得按照我发出的路线前进，能够避开大部分监控。 顺便问一句，你们打扮正常吧？

SharkryYes, yes, yes, Sharkry and the Manager both look like normal human beings. We're wearing normal clothes, and we're taking a normal dog out on a normal walk.是是是，夏克里和店长都化妆成了正常的人类，正在穿着正常的衣服，在正常地遛狗哦。

MakiattoYou're walking the dog? What dog?遛狗？什么狗？

SharkryBeepy. You've seen it before, Makiatto.“小哔”，玛绮朵见过的。

MakiattoYou mean that Dinerpig? You actually started it up?!那个肌肉兵蚁？你们把它启动了？！

SharkryWell, Beepy's a part of the shipment, so we've got to bring it over too. Plus, Sharkry made sure to dress it up like a proper pet Dinergate. Those lion ears and mane are useful at last ♥小哔也是这批军用武器的一部分啊，当然也要带过去，而且夏克里有好好把它打扮成宠物兵蚁的样子哦，狮子耳朵和鬃毛配饰派上用场了呢♥

SharkryMakiatto, you don't have much of an imagination, do you~玛绮朵，太没想象力啦~

MakiattoOh, so I should have imagined dragging a gun-studded UGV behind me on the street?! Ahhhhh, I should have just done this by myself, a couple of extra trips wouldn't have hurt...想象力就是牵着一个浑身炮管的兵器在街上走？！啊——早知道就应该我自己多跑两趟的……

SpringfieldDon't worry, I've disabled its automatic targeting and attack toggles. It won't open fire without a command.你放心，我已经关闭了它的自动索敌和攻击开关，没有口令，它不会主动开火。

SharkryO ye of little faith, Makiatto. Plus, Beepy can help out in case we run into trouble. Might even end up being more reliable than you~玛绮朵就是不相信夏克里嘛。 而且，万一遇到什么麻烦，小哔也可以帮忙，说不定比玛绮朵还要可靠呢~

Makiatto...Hmph, well, don't expect me to save you if anything happens. Once you get here, wait for me in that safe warehouse and don't run off by yourself. I'm going to investigate the nearby warehouses.……哼，反正如果出什么意外别指望我去救你们。 到了就在这间安全的仓库里等我，别自己乱跑，我要先去附近的仓库检查一下。

SpringfieldHuh? Maybe you should wait for us to get there—欸？ 还是等我们到了再——

MakiattoI'll be fine by myself. Let's go with that for now.我自己没问题的，先这样。

MakiattoAlright. Now then, the most suspicious area is...好。那么，最可疑的区域是……

Springfield(Sigh)唉……

SharkryWhat the heck, did she actually run off by herself without waiting for Sharkry? Didn't we say we would be working together on this?什么嘛，竟然不等夏克里就自己行动了，我们之前不是说好了要一起吗？

(Springfield and Sharkry are pushing carts through the night streets of the satellite city.)（春田和夏克里推着小推车走在夜晚稍显热闹的卫星城街头。）

(The carts are loaded with boxes and they seem like residents out shopping.)（小推车上整齐码着一些箱子，看上去和出门采购的居民没有任何区别。）

SpringfieldMakiatto's used to carrying out missions by herself and security in that area ought to be laxer, which means she shouldn't have any problems going it alone... So we should just let her go.玛绮朵更习惯于单独执行任务，那一带的警备力量松懈，她自己应该也没问题……就随她去吧。

(While she's worried about Makiatto, Springfield fully understands Makiatto's feelings.)（虽然对玛绮朵有所担忧，但春田也完全明白玛绮朵的心情。）

(She's feeling anxious and uneasy because she can't meet with the person who fills her thoughts. With the long passage of time, she's become used to being alone and has a hard time relying on others.)（因无法和思念的人见面而焦灼不安，在漫长的时光中，逐渐习惯于独来独往，不愿意依靠他人。）

(Much like herself.)（这一点，自己也是一样的。）

(Fortunately, she's managed to find a way to contact the Elmo through certain channels of hers once Zucchero was up and running.)（好在方糖咖啡馆走上正轨后，已经通过一些渠道，找到了和艾莫号间接交流的办法。）

(Now all she has to do is maintain contact with the Elmo and the cafe's residents will soon be able to meet the Commander again.)（之后只要维护好双方的沟通，咖啡馆的成员，想必很快就能与指挥官相见了。）

SharkryHmph, you're always so soft on her, Manager. She'll run into danger sooner or later.哼，店长总这么惯着她，迟早会碰上危险情况的哦。

SpringfieldYes, I'll talk to her about it. In the meantime, let's make haste to our destination. We might be able to help her out.嗯，我之后会再跟她谈谈的。 我们先赶紧前往目标地点吧，说不定还能帮上忙。

Reliable Partner 可靠的伙伴

SharkryManager, the clouds are heavy and there's no moonlight. It's the best kind of weather for sneaking around.店长，今晚云彩很厚，没什么月光，是适合潜入的日子哦。

SpringfieldYes... The cameras in the nearby area should be offline, but there are many security robots around; perhaps they're still searching for the criminal. Be careful, Sharkry. Don't get spotted.嗯……附近区域的监控应该都失效了，但却有不少安保机器人，可能还在持续搜寻通缉犯吧。 夏克里，小心一点，别被发现了哦。

SharkryHonestly, why is it that you don't believe in Sharkry either? We were perfectly fine the whole way here, weren't we~真是的，店长怎么也对夏克里没信心呀，过来这一路上不是也没出什么事嘛~

SpringfieldThat was because we had your makeup to cover us up. It won't do much good in a place where electronic surveillance is everywhere, so you need to be careful.那也是因为有夏克里的化妆掩护。在以电子监控为主的环境里，化妆可派不上什么用场了，要更加谨慎才行。

BeepyBeepbeep!哔哔！

(Beepy swivels its head. The fake mane on its neck blossoms like a sunflower.)（小哔缓缓旋转着自己的头部，佩戴在它脖子上的假狮子鬃毛像向日葵一样旋转展开。）

(Sharkry bends down to pat its head, then she suddenly claps her hands together.)（旁边的夏克里摸摸它的头，在春田眼前拍了拍手。）

SharkryTeehee, Sharkry has a plan for that, Manager ♥嘻嘻，店长，夏克里早就准备好对策了哟♥

SpringfieldA plan?对策？

SharkryTa-daaah ♥ Come, change into this~锵锵♥来换上这个吧~

SpringfieldWait, this cloth is... Can you even wear it?这块布是……可以穿的吗？

SharkryHow mean! This isn't any ordinary cloth! It's a performance outfit Sharkry took a lot of effort to make! Alright, just put it on, I'm sure it'll suit you just fine~ ♥什么布啊，店长好过分！这可是夏克里精心准备的演出服装。 好啦！先换上再说嘛，一定很合适店长的~♥

(Sharkry shoves the clothes she's holding into Springfield's hands, while she finishes changing in the blink of an eye.)（夏克里把手里的衣物往春田怀里一塞，转眼间，就换好了自己的衣服。）

(It is a full-body black smock that slips on easily over her own clothing and comes with its own cloak and hood, making it excellent for concealment in dark places.)（那是一套可以直接套在已经穿着的衣服外侧的衣裙，颜色纯黑、附带斗篷，在周围暗色的环境里非常具有隐蔽性。）

SharkryWhat's wrong, Manager? Hurry up and put it on. Or do you need Sharkry to help you out~?店长怎么还不穿？快点啦，要不要夏克里来帮忙~？

Springfield...Can I pass on this? I'm not good with this style of clothing...……我还是算了吧？我不习惯这种款式……

SharkryOh, I get it, you simply don't understand the greatness of this outfit. Then allow Sharkry to properly introduce it to you ♥ This is a special performance outfit made for speedy changes between scenes~我知道了，店长完全不明白这套衣服的厉害之处呢，那么夏克里就来隆重介绍一下♥ 这是为了在换场时迅速更换装扮而准备的特殊演出服哦~

SpringfieldYes, I gathered that it was some kind of costume.嗯，舞台服饰这一点很明显了。

SharkryLook, Manager, this side is made of low-reflectivity material, making it great for hiding in dark areas. Incidentally, if you pull the ribbon on the chest, it becomes a brilliant piece of stage dress!店长您看，它表面使用的是弱反射材料，能够很好地隐藏在这种昏暗的环境里。顺便一提，只要一拉胸前的缎带，就会变成一条闪亮的裙子呢！

SpringfieldOh—哦——

SharkryHehehe, but wait, there's more.嘻嘻，还不止这样哦。

SharkryThere's also a miniature projector on the waist. Once you activate it, you can recreate the surroundings on your clothes as a form of active camouflage. After tweaking your frame temperature, you'll be invisible to both the human eye and IR imaging!腰部这里还有一个微型投影装置，只要启动这个，就能把周围的环境投影到衣服上，这样再调低素体温度，不管是人眼还是红外线成像仪，都不会发现我们啦！

SpringfieldYour preparations were... very thorough.你准备得……很充分呢。

SharkryTeehee, well, I'm sure you'd come up with a whole range of reasons not to wear it if they weren't ♥ Sharkry needs to make sure everything is ready for Makiatto's—ah, no, I mean, for everyone's sake ♥嘻嘻，如果不充分，店长肯定要找出一堆理由不穿的嘛♥夏克里，一定要给玛绮朵——啊不对，一定要做好一切准备♥

SpringfieldWas that a Makiatto I just heard?我好像听到了玛绮朵？

SharkryYou must have imagined it, Manager. What Sharkry is trying to say is that everything has to be fully prepared~ ♥ Come look; you can't see me at all if I stand just a little bit further away, right Manager?店长听错啦，夏克里说的是，一定要做好一切准备哦~♥ 您快看，离远一点的话，店长是不是也完全看不到我啦？

BeepyBeepbeep!哔哔！

SharkryHaha, you think so too, Beepy? What a good little doggy you are~ Oh, that's right! Manager, before we left, Centaureissi also promised that she'd wear the same—哈哈，小哔也同意我的想法对吧？真是乖狗狗~ 对了！店长，出发之前，桑朵莱希也答应夏克里，会穿同样的——

SpringfieldBehind you!小心后面！

SharkryAiiieeeee?!欸？！

(Sharkry grinds to a halt and slowly turns to look behind her, whereupon she sees a patrol robot. Its shining red eye scans her.)（夏克里踉踉跄跄地停住脚步，小心翼翼地回头，眼前正是一台巡逻机械。闪着红光的机械眼扫了过来。）

(Sharkry quickly covers her mouth and Beepy stops acting up as well. The two of them slowly and carefully back away from it.)（夏克里赶紧捂住自己的嘴，小哔也停止撒欢，两人同时轻轻地、慢慢地向后退去。）

SharkryI don't think it spotted me... Manager, this outfit really is useful!它应该没发现我吧……店长，这套衣服果然有用！

SpringfieldThere's another one beside you! Stay still and don't move!你旁边还有一台！站在那里别动！

SharkryWhat the—Uwaaaahh!什么——呜哇！

BeepyBeepbeepbeep—!哔哔哔——！

SharkryWait, Beepy, don't—等等、小哔别——

(Sharkry suddenly realizes that her exclamation has triggered Beepy's attack mode. She tries to stop it, but it is too late.)（突然意识到自己的惊叫触发了小哔的攻击模式，夏克里想要阻止它，却已经来不及了。）

(Beepy jumps in front of Sharkry and deploys its gun.)（小哔跳到了夏克里身前，伸出炮管。）

SharkryOh my... Maybe this little darling is a little TOO reliable?啊呀……这孩子是不是过于可靠了？

BeepyBeepbeep?哔哔？

SpringfieldThis patrol robot doesn't have a police insignia on it...这个巡逻机械，没有治安队的标志……

SharkryManager! Never mind that! You need to back up now. The other one's about to attack!店长！先别管那个啦，快退后，另一个要攻击了！

Unexpected Encounter 意外碰面

SpringfieldLocation confirmed. This is the warehouse.地点确认了，就是这个仓库。

SharkryWhew—We're here at last ♥呼——终于到啦♥

SpringfieldSharkry, put everything down and contact Makiatto.夏克里，把东西放下，联系一下玛绮朵。

SharkryKaaay—好——

SharkryHihi~ The Manager and I are at the target warehouse. Ewwwww—It's all dark and filthy inside...喂喂~我和店长抵达目标仓库了哦。 欸——里面又黑又脏的……

Makiatto...Who cares how filthy it is! Drop those weapons off right now! I'm investigating the other warehouses, so wait there for me and don't run around.……谁管里面脏不脏啊？！赶紧把那些武器放好！ 我还在排查其他仓库，你们就待在里面等我，不要乱动。

SharkryEhhh—So only you get to run around, then, Makiatto?欸——就只有玛绮朵可以乱动吗？

SpringfieldThat's enough, Sharkry. We'll just wait here for now.好了夏克里，我们先暂时待命吧。

SharkryAw, I didn't mean anything by it~ Sharky doesn't want to run into any more hard and ugly robots.夏克里也只是说说而已嘛~夏克里，才不想再撞上又丑又硬的机械呢。

MakiattoDid you run into robots? What happened? Did you encounter something unexpected on the way here?撞上机械？怎么了，你们路上出什么意外了？

SpringfieldWe triggered several patrol robots around the entrance to the warehouse district, but we've already destroyed them. Makiatto, they didn't have police insignia on them.我们触发了仓库区入口附近的几台巡逻机械，不过已经把它们破坏了。 玛绮朵，那些机械上没有治安部门的标志。

MakiattoYeah, I saw it too. And there are way too many patrol robots here for what should be an abandoned area.嗯，我也注意到了。而且对于一个废弃区域来说，巡逻机械太多了。

SpringfieldLooks like we're on the mark.看来，我们中奖了哦。

SharkryHm, so you're saying that these patrol bots were all deployed by that Farkas criminal?唔，意思是，那些巡逻的机械是那个叫什么佛尔卡什的通缉犯的？

MakiattoThat's very likely. In any case, leave the scouting to me. Be careful and don't make any noise. Especially you, Sharkry.很有可能。 总之探查这边交给我，你们小心一点，别闹出什么动静，特别是夏克里。

SharkryThere it is again~ Makiatto's always finding fault with Sharkry!又出现啦~玛绮朵总是在挑剔夏克里呢！

MakiattoHmph, didn't you just alert a bunch of patrol robots? And you were the one telling me to be careful.哼，你刚才不就触发了巡逻机械吗？明明说了要小心。

SpringfieldThat's enough, both of you. Focus on your tasks, okay? How are things on your end, Centaureissi?好了，你们两个都先做好自己手上的事，好吗？ 桑朵莱希情况如何？

CentaureissiI think I'm getting used to it...好像快习惯了……

SpringfieldUsed to what?什么习惯了？

CentaureissiNo, it's nothing. The garbage truck should arrive in about 15 minutes. I'm ready to head out.不，没什么。 垃圾转运车预计0015后抵达，我准备出发了。

SpringfieldMhm. Stay in touch. You have the most weapons, so be careful.嗯，保持通讯。 你携带的军用武器是最多的，一切小心。

SharkryCentaureissi, don't forget, okay? We agreed you'd wear it!桑朵莱希，记得那个哦，我们约好了要穿的！

MakiattoDon't forget what now?什么这个那个？

SharkryTeehee, it's a secret item Sharkry prepared. Why, you jelly?嘻嘻，是夏克里准备的秘密装备哦，很在意吗？

MakiattoAs—as if I would be.谁、谁会在意那种事。

Centaureissi...Alright, understood.……好，我知道了。

(Someone is pushing three large trash bins toward the garbage point near Zucchero.)（方糖咖啡馆附近的垃圾回收点，一个身影远远地推着三个大型垃圾桶靠近。）

CentaureissiTransport objective has reached Point Alpha. Returning through camera blind spot in 6 minutes.运送物品抵达预定位置A。 0006后将按照预定计划从监控死角返回。

CentaureissiAccording to the plan, allied unit has returned and arrived at Point Alpha. Target transport vehicle arriving in 2 minutes.按照预定计划，我方单位已返回并抵达预定位置A。 目标转运车预计0002后抵达。

SharkryFortunately, CHE-02's garbage disposal system takes in the entire dumpster before sorting it at the disposal plant. Otherwise Centaureissi would end up stuck with the garbage.幸好CHE-02的垃圾转运，是连垃圾桶一起回收，到了处理厂再进行分类呢，否则桑朵莱希就要和垃圾零距离接触啦。

CentaureissiMm.嗯。

Centaureissi—Target sighted.——目标出现。

CentaureissiAllied unit and transport objective have boarded the target transport.我方单位及运送物品已乘上目标转运车。

MakiattoJust in case, I will proceed to the garbage truck's destination in 17 minutes to meet it.以防万一，0017后我将前往垃圾车抵达点附近接应。

CentaureissiUnderstood.了解。

(Multiple arms extend from the garbage truck, grab the dumpsters, and drag them into the truck's loading compartment.)（垃圾桶被转运车车厢中伸出的机械臂接二连三地抓了上来。）

(Centaureissi opens one of the dumpsters and takes a box out. She looks at the dull-colored but cheekily-styled clothes inside and freezes.)（桑朵莱希打开其中一个，从里面掏出一个盒子，她望着盒子里颜色不起眼但款式俏皮的衣物，停下了动作。）

SharkryCentaureissi~ Remember—to—wear—it ♥桑朵莱希~衣服，记·得·穿·哦♥

Centaureissi...Alright.……好。

(The garbage truck stops at Port Vantiny's long-unused garbage collection point.)（转运车在港口区废弃已久的回收点停下了。）

(The rear hatch opens and mechanical arms eject the dumpsters, after which the faithful garbage truck drives away on its preplanned route—)（后厢门打开，机械臂将垃圾桶卸了下来。然后，忠诚的垃圾车按照既定路线驶离——）

(A shadow appears in its wake.)（原地多了一个黑影。）

CentaureissiAlly unit and transport objective have arrived. Movement will begin in approximately 1 minute.我方单位及运送物品已抵达。 预计0001后开始搬运。

SpringfieldGood, thank you. There are many patrol robots within the port area; mind your surroundings while moving the cargo.好，辛苦了。港口区内有很多巡逻机械，搬运时注意周围环境。

SharkrySpeaking of which, why does the garbage truck still pass by the port even after it's been abandoned for this long? Does the garbage truck like going for long drives by the sea?话说回来，港口区都废弃这么久了，垃圾转运车的路线中竟然还有这个站点~垃圾车也喜欢兜风？

MakiattoDid you seriously expect any part of the URNC to be efficient? Centaureissi, stick to the plan and head to the designated warehouse. I'm nearby, so we should be able to meet up in 3 minutes.这有什么，罗联的东西哪一样有效率了？ 桑朵莱希，按照原计划前往预定目标仓库，我就在附近，预计0003后可汇合。

CentaureissiUnderstood.了解。

SharkryCentaureissi, make sure you use the mini-projector. The switch is on your tummy, so don't mix it up~桑朵莱希，记得使用微型投影仪，开关就在腰部，别弄错啦~

CentaureissiAlright, the button on my waist is—好的，腰部的按钮——

??Who's there?!谁在那？！

Centaureissi—!——！

??Freeze! Put your hands on your head and turn around slowly!不许动！双手抱头慢慢转过来！

(Centaureissi cuts the call without saying a word and turns around as directed.)（桑朵莱希不动声色地切断了通讯，按照对方的指示转过身。）

(The dazzling beam of a flashlight shines on her face and Centaureissi squints. After her visual modules finish adjusting to the light, she sees two automatic rifles pointed at her.)（手电筒刺眼的白光打在脸上，桑朵莱希眯了眯眼，视觉模块自动调节完成后，她发现面前有两只自动步枪正指向自己。）

Ill-Tempered YouthWho are you?你是谁？

Centaureissi...I'm here to deliver the merchandise.……我是来送货的。

Ill-Tempered YouthDeliver the merchandise? (Spits) I sure as hell don't remember your face!送货？呸，我可不认识你的脸！

Laid-back YouthHey, those boxes look really familiar. Are those ours?喂，那些箱子很眼熟，咱们的货？

Ill-Tempered YouthOpen the boxes!箱子打开！

Ill-Tempered YouthYou done yet? Do they belong to us?看完没，是不是？

Laid-back YouthThey sure look like it... Oi, where did these come from?看着挺像……喂，这些是哪来的？

Centaureissi...Someone asked me to send it over.……别人让我送过来的。

Laid-back YouthBoss said there would be a batch of returns today... So she's probably a newbie or something. Didn't Boss say he found some locals in CHE-02?老大是说今天会有一批退货送回……她估计是新人吧，老大不是在CHE-02找了一些当地人吗？

Ill-Tempered Youth...So she's a newbie? Hey, where's your card?……新人？喂，你的电子卡呢？

Centaureissi...……

Ill-Tempered YouthGo on, say something. It's an ID tag that looks like a wolf badge, you've got it, don't you?说话啊，一个狼头胸针模样的电子卡，你该不会没有吧？

Centaureissi...Of course I do. It's in the box.……当然有，在箱子里。

Ill-Tempered YouthHuh?哈？

CentaureissiThere are curfews in effect in the city, and checks are very strict. I didn't dare keep it on me.城里紧急管制了，排查很严格，我不敢戴在身上。

Ill-Tempered YouthReally?真的？

Laid-back YouthFound it. This is it. Go scan it and see.找到了。 是这个吧，你扫描看看。

(The thuggish-looking young man keeps his gun barrel trained on Centaureissi while raising his other hand, which holds a torchlight.)（表情暴躁的青年毫不懈怠地用枪口指着桑朵莱希，同时举起拿着手电筒的手。）

(His colleague fishes the badge out of the box and brings it to the thuggish youth's hand. A device on his wrist scans it and it makes a "deet".)（另一人从箱子里找到了胸针，靠近了暴躁青年抬起的手，用他手腕上戴着的什么仪器扫了一下，仪器响起了“嘀”的声音。）

Ill-Tempered YouthIdentity verified... Tch, looks like she's just a coward. Oi, you go check the signal irregularity from the patrol bots yourself. I'm taking her back to the boat... Can't trust locals, after all.识别正确……哼，看来只是个胆小鬼。 喂，巡逻机械信号异常的地点你自己去检查，我要跟她一起回船上……反正我不信什么当地人。

Laid-back YouthHah? You're dumping your shit on me again?哈？你又把麻烦事推给我？

Ill-Tempered YouthMan, shut the hell up. Okay, fine, fine, YOU go back with her, I'll go check it out. Happy now?啰嗦个屁！好好好那你跟她回去，我一个人去检查可以了吧！

Laid-back YouthOhhh—Well, thanks for your hard work! Remember to finish up quick so we can go back early!哦——那就辛苦你啦，早去早回！

Ill-Tempered YouthPiss off!滚蛋！

(The thuggish youth viciously kicks the cart and leaves without looking back.)（暴躁的青年狠狠踢了一脚小推车，头也不回地离开了。）

(His hat-wearing colleague shrugs and looks in the reverse direction—although his hand is still on the grip of his gun.)（他戴帽子的同伴耸了耸肩，转向了相反的方向——他的手仍然握在枪把上。）

MakiattoCentaureissi, I'm behind the shipping containers at your three o'clock. I'll eliminate him in 20 seconds.桑朵莱希，我在你3点钟方向的集装箱后面。20秒后我会干掉他。

CentaureissiMiss Makiatto? ...No, don't do that yet. We might be able to find their base of operations.玛绮朵小姐？ ……先不要，也许可以找到他们的驻扎点。

Makiatto...Are you sure you'll be alright?……你确定没问题？

CentaureissiI want to try something.我想尝试一下。

Makiatto...Alright, I'll cover you. Make sure you remain connected on Level II.……好，我掩护你。保持接入二级平层状态。

Laid-back YouthWhat are you standing around like an idiot for?你傻站着干什么？

CentaureissiI'm coming.来了。

Laid-back YouthI mean, just look at the time. Kind of late, aren't you?都这个时候了，你到得挺晚啊？

CentaureissiI... I got lost.我……我迷路了。

Laid-back Youth...Aren't you a local?……你不是本地人吗？

CentaureissiThe port's been abandoned for a long time and I've never been here before. The curfews also meant that I couldn't take a lot of the routes I usually use.港口区荒废太久了，我没怎么来过，而且城里紧急管制，很多路不能走了。

Laid-back Youth...……

MakiattoCentaureissi's really bad at lying.桑朵莱希说谎的时候也太僵硬了。

SpringfieldHow are things?情况怎么样？

MakiattoI've managed to bluff my way through for now.暂时糊弄过去了。

SharkryI can't believe she actually ran into the criminal's henchmen... Fortunately I did makeup for Centaureissi too.竟然会正面撞上通缉犯的手下……幸好也给桑朵莱希化了妆呢。

MakiattoCentaureissi's trying to find the enemy base. I'll follow her. You guys stay put and keep your eyes open.桑朵莱希想趁此机会找到对方的据点，这边我会跟着，你们两个待在原地别动，注意安全。

SpringfieldYes, you too. Also, please keep Centaureissi safe.嗯，你也是。还有，麻烦你保护桑朵莱希。

MakiattoHmph, I'd have done that even if you hadn't asked.哼，你不说我也知道。

SharkryWhere's Makiatto now? If anything happens, Sharkry can save Makiatto too ♥玛绮朵现在在哪里呀？万一有什么情况，夏克里也可以去救玛绮朵嘛♥

MakiattoNo need for that. You can save me by just waiting there quietly! However, we're getting close to the docks now... And I think they mentioned something about a boat... But I didn't pick up anything when I checked just now—不需要，你安静待着就算是救我了！ 不过，这里接近码头了……他们刚刚好像也提到船什么的……但我刚才勘察的时候并没有——

MakiattoWait a minute... is that?!等一下……那个是？！

(Makiatto's jaw drops open as she stares in the direction where Centaureissi and the young man are headed. There is a huge shape floating on the water.)（在桑朵莱希和青年前进的方向上，玛绮朵目瞪口呆地看到一个巨大的轮廓出现在漆黑的水面上。）

Makiatto...It's a cargo ship, moored on Pier 7! Tsk, they were using an area holoprojector.……是货船，就在7号码头！啧，他们用了环境投影装置。

SpringfieldThat's probably not all. There are probably other counter-detection methods in place.恐怕不止这样，应该还有其他的反侦察手段。

MakiattoYes, I'll move in closer to get a better look.嗯，我靠近看看。

MakiattoLooks like it was modified from a medium-sized cargo ship... Looks weird, though. That Farka guy has pretty crap taste in decor. There seems to be some kind of special coating on the hull. I can't analyze the contents.是中型货船改造的……形状好奇怪，那个佛尔卡什，品位不怎么样嘛。 船体表面好像有特殊涂层，成分我分析不出来。

SpringfieldMy guess is that it absorbs radio waves. After all, you'll need to start by defeating radar in order to keep a ship like this stealthy.应该是用来吸收电波的。毕竟要让这样一艘货船隐形，首先要骗过雷达。

SharkrySharkry doesn't really get it, but there ought to be other kinds of detection besides radar and vision, right?虽然夏克里不太懂啦，但除了雷达和视觉监控之外，应该还有别的监控设备吧？

MakiattoThis port's security systems are easily defeated, so for a technically-inclined crook like him, modifying wave pressure data should be easy.这港口的监控系统随随便便就能骇入，对这种技术型罪犯来说，改几个波压监测数据也没什么困难的。

SharkryMan, the police are so careless! I can't believe they gave us so much trouble!治安部门的搜查也太不认真了，给我们添了这么多麻烦！

MakiattoI'm not trying to defend Public Security here, but this ship looks pretty large, enough for Farkas to live on it. Even if they found him, he could just sail away—Tch, this "wolf" is as cunning as a fox.虽然不是想帮治安部门开脱，这艘船看规模不算小，足够佛尔卡什这群人在上面生活，就算被发现了，大不了开船跑就是了——啧，这头“狼”够狡猾的。

SpringfieldHmm, considering all those anti-detection methods he used... This ought to be the "wolf's den". Farkas might be on that ship.嗯，用上了这么多反侦察手段……这应该就是“狼窝”了吧，佛尔卡什也许就在船上。

MakiattoThey're coming.他们过来了。

(Makiatto hides in the shadows of a bunch of junk beside the boarding ramp and sees the youth in a hat speaking into his earpiece.)（玛绮朵藏身在栈桥上杂物堆的阴影里，看到戴帽子的青年按着耳机说了什么。）

(After that, a door opens on the weirdly-shaped cargo ship and an automated conveyor belt extends over to the ramp.)（然后，奇形怪状的货船打开一扇舱门，一条自动履带伸展开，搭在栈桥上。）

(Centaureissi pushes her cart onto the belt. She is joined by the youth and both of them enter the ship. Before the doors slide shut, Makiatto breaks into a sprint and with a great leap, she clambers onto the vessel.)（推着小推车的桑朵莱希跟着青年踏上履带，两人进入了船舱。趁滑门关闭之前，玛绮朵快跑两步起跳，攀上了船身。）

MakiattoCentaureissi's in the ship. I'm following her in to take a look around. I'll look for a chance to get her out of there. Ideally, we'll be able to disable the stealth measures—hrk!桑朵莱希进入船舱了。 我先跟进去看看，找机会把桑朵莱希捞出来，最好能解除这艘船的隐蔽效果和——呃！

(As Makiatto is getting into position, she looks up and sees a machine.)（玛绮朵调整好姿势，刚一抬头就看到一台机械。）

(It's too close to her and she can't tell if it's powering up or not, so she raises her gun and smashes it with a buttstroke.)（距离过近，她来不及确认机械是否在启动状态，立刻抬起枪托砸过去。）

Laid-back YouthWhat was that noise?什么声音？

MakiattoNot good!不好……！

Centaureissi... Ah...…… 啊——

Laid-back YouthWhat's wrong with you?你怎么了？

CentaureissiI accidentally kicked the cart.我的脚趾踢到推车了。

Laid-back Youth...Clumsy bitch. Get up already.……笨手笨脚的，快点起来。

CentaureissiMm.嗯。

SpringfieldMakiatto... What happened?怎么……玛绮朵？

MakiattoIt, it's nothing... I made some noise, but Centaureissi helped cover for me.没、没什么……我弄出了点动静，不过桑朵莱希帮我掩饰过去了。

SharkrySo even Makiatto needs help too!原来玛绮……也需要人帮忙呀！

MakiattoQuiet, you!啰嗦！

SpringfieldPrioritize... safety, don't... alarm...优先你们……安全，不要……惊动……

MakiattoSpringfield? Springfield?春田？春田？

Makiatto...Are they jamming our signals? Hmph, cautious, isn't he? No wonder he could remain at large for so long. Looks like Level II's been jammed too... But they need some way of communicating with each other on such a large ship... Are they using shortwave radio?……信号屏蔽？哼，很谨慎嘛，难怪能做这么久的通缉犯。 二级平层……也被干扰了……这么大的船，他们总要有通讯手段……短波对讲？

MakiattoCentaureissi, do you read me? Tap your earpiece if you do.桑朵莱希，能听到吗？能听到就敲敲耳机。

MakiattoI'll go check the surroundings first. Try to keep things under control and find a chance to be alone. Wait for me and we'll leave together. There's no signal on this ship, so if anything happens, use the shortwave radio to call me.我先去检查一下周围，你尽量稳住局面，找机会独处，等我和你汇合离开。这艘船上没有信号，有事就用短波对讲叫我。

MakiattoAnd also... thanks for just now!还有……刚才，那个，谢、谢啦！

MakiattoAnd also... thanks for just now!还有……刚才，那个，谢、谢啦！

(Makiatto's voice vanishes from her ears. Centaureissi's face remains blank as she stares at the door before her.)（玛绮朵的声音消失在耳边，桑朵莱希不动声色地盯着眼前的门。）

(Miss Makiatto thanking someone is a rare thing. In my memory, the only time she ever did that was when the other person was Master.)（能听到玛绮朵小姐的感谢是一件难得的事，印象里的上一次，还是与长官有关。）

(That day... we received a letter from Master after Zucchero ended up jointly completing a request with the Elmo through outsourcing from a middleman.)（那天……方糖咖啡馆通过中间商转包，与艾莫号合作完成了一项委托，收到了长官的来信。）

(We managed to make contact with Master again after so long apart. That day was a very memorable one for the members of the cafe.)（隔了那么长时间，终于与长官重新取得联络。对咖啡馆的成员们来说，那是极为重要的一天。）

Laid-back YouthThis is it. Get in, the boss is inside.就是这里了。 赶紧进去，老大就在里面。

Centaureissi...……

Laid-back YouthWhat, you scared? The boss usually inspects any returns himself, just in case someone messed with them. Got that?害怕啊？ 一般退回来的东西，老大都要亲自检查，以防被人做了什么手脚，懂不懂？

Centaureissi...Oh.……哦。

(Centaureissi reins her thoughts in and slowly enters the room, glancing around herself as she moves inside.)（桑朵莱希收回思绪，拖着脚步走进房门，小幅度地环顾了四周。）

(This place seems to be a large cargo hold with several air ducts on the walls. They look like they lead to a chiller.)（这里看起来是个稍大的仓库，墙壁顶端有几个小小的通风口，看起来像是冷藏设施的管道。）

(There are several packing crates strewn across the ground. Most of them contain vegetables, which seems to be camouflage for their actual cargo.)（房间里杂乱堆放着一些集装箱，大多数集装箱上还盖着不少蔬菜，似乎是用于伪装真正的货物。）

(The sound of footsteps comes from the center of the room.)（房间中心传来踱步的声音。）

??Pigeons, balloons... Huh, now why was I not aware that we had become a circus?鸽子、气球……哎，我怎么不知道，原来咱们是马戏团啊？

Short ManM-Mr.... Mr. Farkas... I, I really don't know why...先、先生……佛尔卡什先生……我、我真的不知道为什么……

FarkasYou don't know?不知道？

FarkasI hate that excuse. You'd better think carefully and give me and the client an acceptable explanation. For instance, that you lost the product, or perhaps, that you took it for yourself?我不喜欢这个借口，你最好再想想，给我和客户一个能接受的解释。比如，东西被你弄丢了，或者干脆是——私吞了？

Short ManI, how would, how would I dare! Mr... Boss... you know I don't have the guts for that...我、我怎么敢！先生……老大……您知道的，我哪有那个胆子……

(Farkas leisurely ignites and extinguishes a lighter.)（佛尔卡什悠闲把玩着一个小小的打火机。）

(The short man opposite him is bald, and his head looks like a meat bun in an oven, all covered in huge drops of sweat.)（站在他对面的矮个男子略秃的脑袋仿佛是蒸锅里的肉丸子，挤出了一颗颗硕大的汗珠。）

Centaureissi...Is he... That driver? It would be bad if he recognized me...……他是……那个货车司机？被认出来就麻烦了……

Short ManB-Boss, it's true... it must have, it must have been the delivery Doll, it screwed up...老、老大，我真的……一定是、是这个送货的人形搞错了……

FarkasOh, I see. The Doll screwed up.哦，原来是人形搞错了。

Short ManY-yes!对……对！

Short ManAAIIIIIEEEE—!噫——！

Centaureissi—!——！

(Farkas puts down his lighter and promptly snatches up the rifle on a nearby packing crate.)（佛尔卡什放下打火机，拎起了集装箱上的步枪。）

(There is a loud gunshot, which hits the smiling Doll beside the short man and sends it flying toward Centaureissi.)（枪响后，矮个男子身边始终微笑着的人形被击中，向桑朵莱希的方向飞了出去。）

FarkasWho are you?你是谁？

CentaureissiGreetings, sir. I am here to deliver the returned products...您好，先生，我是来送被退回的货物的……

FarkasWell done. You were only late by 6 hours. Get over here.很好，你迟到了6个小时，过来。

Centaureissi...……

Farkas...Get over here and see what happens to useless trash!……过来好好看看，没用的废物是什么下场！

Centaureissi...!……！

(Farkas grabs a wine bottle behind him and smashes it on the short man's forehead.)（抓起身后的酒瓶，佛尔卡什将它拍碎在矮个男人的前额。）

(As the sound of broken glass fills the hold, bright red blood mixes with the translucent wine and splatters the short man's fat body.)（随着稀里哗啦的玻璃破碎声，鲜红的血液和透明的酒液混合在一起，滴落在肥胖矮小的躯体上。）

Short ManAhh... Aaargh! It... it hurts!啊……啊——！痛……好痛！

FarkasRobots can't speak for themselves, is that it? You think I'm an idiot?机器不会为自己辩解，是吧？你当我傻？

Short ManNo... I didn't...我……我没有……

FarkasOho—Then you're trying to set me up, are you, Marka? Otherwise, why would you fuck up at a time like this?哦——你该不会是想看我倒霉吧，马克？要不然怎么会在这时候犯错呢？

Short ManPlease... you have to believe me, I-I'm your most loyal...请您……务必相信我，我、我是您最忠诚的……

FarkasLoyal? Hah! Loyalty is not spoken with the mouth.忠诚？哈！忠诚可不是用嘴说出来的。

FarkasIn this unfamiliar city, I had to send my most reliable men to negotiate with the local bosses... And at a time like this, someone decides to lose my merchandise—so tell me, is someone trying to screw me over?在这座陌生的城市里，就连我最可靠的手下们都不得不被派出去与本地的毒蛇谈判……这种时候，我却被人弄丢了重要的货物——你说，是不是有人想让我进监狱啊？

Short Man...No, it's definitely not me!……我、我绝对不是！

FarkasWhy are you shaking? Here, warm up a little.你怎么在发抖啊？来，暖暖身子吧。

Short ManNo... Noooooo!不……不要——！

Farkas—?!——？！

CentaureissiHng!唔！

(The short man shoves Farkas away as the latter is pouring wine all over him. Farkas isn't holding the bottle tightly and its contents splash all over Centaureissi, who's standing off to the side.)（矮个男子猛地推开正把酒往他身上泼的佛尔卡什，佛尔卡什没拿稳，酒洒向一旁的桑朵莱希。）

FarkasOho? Well, look who grew a pair of balls all of a sudden. See, because of you, this poor girl is—hm?哦——嚯？这不是胆子挺大吗？ 看看，因为你，这位可怜的小女孩都——嗯？

Centaureissi...Sir?……先生？

Short ManHer... her face!她……她的脸！

CentaureissiOh no... alcohol dissolves the makeup...糟了……酒精会让化妆品溶解……

FarkasYou... you're a Doll?你是……人形？

CentaureissiI...我……

FarkasWhy are you disguised as a human? What are you up to?为什么伪装成人类？你有什么目的？

CentaureissiI'm just here to deliver the merchandise... I, I have a badge!我只是来送货的……我、我有胸针！

Farkas...Oh?……哦？

(Centaureissi hands Farkas the badge and Farkas touches it to a device on his wrist, which emits a "deet" of authentication.)（桑朵莱希把狼头胸针递给佛尔卡什，佛尔卡什用手腕上的仪器碰了一下胸针，“嘀”的确认声响起。）

Centaureissi...……

Farkas...What's your name?……你叫什么？

CentaureissiEr? I'm—呃？我叫——

FarkasBecause your ID says it belongs to Marka Bondar.你的电子卡，显示属于马克·邦达尔。

Short Man...Eh? Ehhhh?! Wait a minute, that's...……哎？哎？！那、那是……

FarkasThat's right, it's your name, you idiot!没错，就是你这个蠢货的名字啊！

Centaureissi—!——！

CentaureissiMakiatto!玛绮朵！

MakiattoI'll be right there!我马上到！

FarkasOh, playing hide and seek, is it? Ah—what a pain... You, take those crates and screw off.要玩捉迷藏？啊——麻烦死了…… 你，带着那几箱东西滚出去。

Short ManBoss?老大？

FarkasMachines should be dealt with by machines. I'm leaving them to you now, my dear kids.机器就让机器来搞定。 交给你们了，我可爱的孩子们。

FarkasSee you later. Make sure you take care of them.待会见，收拾得干净点。

CentaureissiThere's so many of them...!这个机械的数量……！

(Centaureissi does her best to hide in the dead angle behind the shipping containers.)（桑朵莱希尽量缩到了集装箱后面的死角里。）

(Bullets shred the piles of veggies around her. A gun is revealed in the corner of her vision.)（她身旁的蔬菜堆被子弹掀飞，一把枪出现在她的视野中。）

Centaureissi...A weapon...……武器……

(She pauses for a moment, then lunges for the gun. But at the same time, a robot draws a bead on her.)（犹豫了片刻，桑朵莱希向那把枪扑去。但与此同时，一台机械瞄准了她。）

CentaureissiI'm too late...!来不及了……！

(With her vision impeded and her movements blocked, Centaureissi struggles to avoid the attack and grab the gun—)（视野受限、行动受限，桑朵莱希正艰难地试图躲开攻击，并把枪拿到手——）

(Just then, a violin case hits the robot's arm, incidentally knocking away the gun Centaureissi was trying to grab.)（一个提琴盒突然砸中了机械的手臂，作为桑朵莱希目标的枪也在混乱中被击飞。）

(Right after that, a bullet hits the robot, making it freeze up long enough for a flying kick to knock it away.)（紧接着，那台机械被子弹击中，暂时停止了行动，然后被从天而降的人一脚踢飞。）

MakiattoHah? How did things blow up like this?!哈？搞这么大？！

Centaureissi...I'm sorry, Miss Makiatto.……抱歉，玛绮朵小姐。

MakiattoWhat are you even apologizing for? Right, I'll take care of these things. You can go hide behind the veggies if you don't want to fight.有什么好抱歉的。 好了，我先把这些东西处理干净，不想战斗的人——就躲到菜叶子后面去吧。

Abrupt Appearance 唐突的登场

(Centaureissi raises a steel plate torn from one of the shipping containers and helps deflect a bullet headed for Makiatto from her blind spot.)（桑朵莱希举着从集装箱上拆下来的铁板，挡下了从视觉死角射向玛绮朵的子弹。）

(Thanks to the protection of this crude shield, the two of them make it into a safe corner formed by the crates.)（在简陋的盾牌掩护下，两人躲进集装箱围成的安全角落。）

MakiattoTh-thanks.谢、谢啦。

CentaureissiYou're welcome. I'm reading... 3 more units at your 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, and 3 o'clock.没什么。 还有……3台，分别在10点、12点、3点方向。

MakiattoCentaureissi...桑朵莱希……

CentaureissiI'll cover you—我来掩护您——

MakiattoCentaureissi! I... I'm out of ammo.桑朵莱希！我没……没子弹了。

Centaureissi...……

Makiatto...It's not like I wanted to be! These robots were all modified by that jerk. They've got more armor than a Great Wall Railway train!……我也不想的嘛！这些机械都被那个烂人改造过，皮厚得像长城列车！

CentaureissiThe door's locked, we'll need some time to crack it... There might be ammo here. I'll go look for some.门被封锁了，突破需要时间……这里也许有弹药，我去找。

MakiattoHow are you going to find it in a situation like this? Wait a minute, let me think... Are there explosives here or something...这种情况你要怎么找啊？ 等我想一想……有没有什么办法，炸药之类的……

SharkryHello... in there... Manager... hacking program...喂……里面……店长，黑客程序……

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry?夏克里小姐？

MakiattoIt's her?她？

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry! Can you hear me?夏克里小姐！听得到吗？

SharkryI hear you, I hear you~ Is Makiatto in there?听到啦听到啦~玛绮朵也在里面吧？

MakiattoY-yeah, I am. Why?也、也在啊，怎么？

SharkryHehe~ now how should I get Makiatto to owe me a favor?哼哼~怎么让玛绮朵还我这个人情才好呢？

MakiattoThe heck? Quit talking nonsense!什么啊？少自说自话！

SharkryFine, fine. Makiatto, you and Centaureissi take cover, okay? It's not Sharkry's fault if you get hurt ♥好啦好啦，桑朵莱希还有玛绮朵先乖乖躲好哦，被伤到的话，夏克里概不负责哟♥

MakiattoWhat are you going to do?你要干什么？

CentaureissiWhat's that sound... Are those footsteps?什么声音……哒哒哒的，脚步声？

MakiattoHuh? Sounds like it came from the air vent...啊？好像是通风管道……

BeepyBeep—whoosh—!哔——咻——！

MakiattoHaaah?!哈？！

(The vent cover pops off with a "clang".)（通风管道上的过滤网“哐当”一声掉了下来。）

(A small form with a mane around its monoeye and lion ears leaps out of the air vent, doing a stylish 720-degree mid-air flip before executing a picture-perfect landing.)（一个小小的、佩戴着橘色鬃毛和狮子耳朵的身影从通风管道中冲出来，在空中帅气地旋转了720度，威风凛凛地落地。）

SharkryAhem.咳、咳。

SharkryUwaaah—!!呜哇——————！

BeepyBeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep!哔哔哔哔哔哔哔哔！

Centaureissi...……

MakiattoWhat are you gawking at?! Take cover now!愣着干嘛？！快隐蔽啊！

BeepyBeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep!哔哔哔哔哔哔哔哔！

MakiattoHoly crap, that little guy is a real beast!这小玩具原来这么疯的吗？！

(Centaureissi comes to her senses and opens a nearby shipping container.)（桑朵莱希回过神，迅速打开身旁的集装箱。）

CentaureissiGet inside!快进去！

(...)（………………）

(15 minutes later—)（十五分钟后——）

CentaureissiAll targets disabled.确认所有目标失去机能。

MakiattoWhew... And it's usually so well-behaved too.呼…… 这家伙，明明平时看着还挺乖的。

BeepyBeep... Beepbeep?哔…… 哔哔？

(Upon noticing them poking their heads out, the grey Dinergate who has been obediently sitting on the ground springs up and runs around the shipping container where the two of them were hiding.)（注意到两人探出脑袋，原本乖巧地坐在地上的灰色兵蚁原地跳起，围着两人躲藏的集装箱“哒哒哒”地跑了起来。）

MakiattoWhat's the meaning of this? What is it doing?这是什么意思？它在干什么？

CentaureissiHm... It's kind of like how some sheepdogs run circles around stray sheep to keep them from wandering off.嗯……有些牧羊犬似乎会用绕圈的方式，来阻止羊群走散。

MakiattoHah? You mean, it's herding us? But why?哈？你的意思是它在牧我们？为什么？

SharkrySo the two of you don't run off, of course~ Honestly, you were all scattered everywhere, it took forever to find you! Well done, Beepy! That's my doggo!当然是不让两位乱跑呀~真是的，一个两个的，找齐大家可是费了我好大劲！ 小哔干得漂亮，不愧是我的爱犬！

BeepyBeepbeep—!哔哔——！

MakiattoHow did you guys get in here?你们怎么进来的？

SharkryOh, the locks were rubbish, it was a piece of cake for Sharkry.门口这种锁，夏克里随随便便就开了呢~

SpringfieldIt was Leva's hacking program. Fortunately, it was enough to deal with the security systems here.是莱娅的黑客程序，幸好足以应对这里的安保系统。

SharkryManager! Aw, you ruined it, Sharkry wanted to act smug for a bit longer. Aren't you coming out, you two?店长！竟然这么快就说出来了，夏克里还想再得意一会呢！ 两位，还不出来吗？

MakiattoIt's really cramped in here... Wait a minute... How come the three of you are all wearing the same thing?这里面还真挤……等等，你们三个……怎么穿着一样的衣服！

SharkryHehe~ This is Sharkry's special uniform prepared for all cafe staff ♥ It's cute, right? Want one too, Makiatto?嘿嘿~这是夏克里精心为方糖咖啡馆员工准备的制服哟♥ 很可爱吧？玛绮朵也想穿？

MakiattoHahhh?! Who would want to wear such a weird outfit? Are you elementary schoolers on a field trip?哈？！谁要穿那么奇怪的衣服啊，你们是来春游的小学生吗？

SharkryYes yes, you're shy, we know. Look, I brought a costume just for Makiatto~ Tadaaah!好啦，别闹别扭了，我也把玛绮朵的衣服带来了哟~看这里！

Makiatto...That bear... I took it off in the warehouse...……这个熊……我都专门把它脱在仓库里了……

SharkryWhich is why Sharkry specially brought it here for Makiatto~ Don't forget it again, 'kay? ♥所以夏克里特意帮玛绮朵带来啦~别再忘记了哟♥

Makiatto...I... I don't know what... If you had the strength to bring this junk along, you could have brought more ammo instead!……我真是……已经无话可说了…… 有力气带这没用的破烂过来，还不如多带点弹药！

SharkryWho says I didn't? Honestly, Sharkry isn't as careless as Makiatto.谁说没带啦？真是的，夏克里又不像玛绮朵一样丢三落四。

(Sharkry picks the bear costume up by its legs and upends it. Magazines, ammo drums and full-on ammunition boxes fall out of it.)（夏克里抓起熊的两只脚，把玩偶服整个倒了过来，弹夹、弹鼓、弹药盒从里面接二连三掉了出来。）

SharkrySee! Tons of ammo! Enough for Makiatto even if you outlined your targets instead of actually hitting them! See how reliable Sharkry is! Here, Beepy, have some munchies too ♥有这么多哦！就算玛绮朵是描边大师，也完全够用了吧~？ 夏克里真是可靠，来，小哔也补充一点吧♥

BeepyBeepbeep—!哔哔——！

Makiatto...……

SpringfieldI tried to stop her, but she said it was more convenient this way.我阻止过了，但她说这样拿更方便。

MakiattoIn what universe is this more convenient?! Are you guys ganging up to make me blow my top?!哪里方便了？！我看你们就是想合伙气死我！

SharkryIt's one thing if you don't thank Sharkry, but to think you'd say all that even though Sharkry worked so hard~ (sob)没有感谢也就算了，夏克里的一片苦心却被这样说呜呜呜~

SpringfieldThere, there. This place is dangerous. We should leave soon.好了好了，这里很危险，我们还是先离开这里吧。

MakiattoNo, Springfield. I just destroyed part of the ship's drive systems. They have backups, but this is our best chance to catch them all in one fell swoop.不，春田，我刚刚已经破坏了一部分这艘船的动力装置，虽然可能还有备用模块，但现在仍然是将他们一网打尽的最佳时机。

MakiattoWe've already put them on alert. If we just let them go now, there's no telling when we'll get a chance to catch them again.我们已经惊动了他们，要是就这么把他们放走，就不知道什么时候能抓到他们了。

SpringfieldWhat do you have in mind?你有什么想法？

MakiattoWe'll split into three groups. One group will keep Farkas and his people from moving their weapons...我们分为三组，一组阻止佛尔卡什等人转移军用武器……

SharkryCan't we just sink the ship?那不是只要把船弄沉就好啦？

SpringfieldNo; these weapons were smuggled. Leva and her people will have a hard time accounting for them if they're all gone.不行哦，这些军用武器是走私的，全部报废掉的话，莱娅那边也不好交代。

SharkryUgh...唔……

MakiattoWill you please let me finish!你们倒是先听我把话说完！

SharkryI'm listening, I'm listening.听着呢听着呢。

MakiattoAs I said, we'll split into three groups. One group will lock down Farkas and his people, keeping them from moving their weapons away and escaping, while the second group will create a big enough disturbance to draw Public Security's attention.……分为三组，第一组负责限制佛尔卡什等人的行动，阻止他们转移军用武器和逃跑，第二组负责制造出足以引起治安部门注意的异常情况。

SharkryThen what about group three?那第三组呢？

MakiattoGroup three will be a distraction to draw the enemy's attention and cover the other two groups.第三组负责充当诱饵，吸引敌方注意力，掩护另外两组的行动。

Sharkry...!……！

MakiattoGroup one's mission is fairly simple. They just need to find the central control room. I checked the vessel just now, and everything below decks is just a cargo hold, so the control room ought to be above decks.第一组的任务比较简单，只要找到中央控制室就行。 我刚才探查过这艘船，甲板下都是仓库，所以控制室应该在甲板上方的区域。

CentaureissiOnce you reach the control room, you should be able to disable the vessel's camouflage systems.找到控制室，应该也能解除这艘船的隐形。

MakiattoThat's right. A single person can do that.没错，这个任务单人执行即可。

MakiattoThe problem is the second group's objective... We disabled the port cameras when we came in. As things stand, we can't trigger any alarms to notify Public Security.问题是第二组的目标……我们在进入港口区的时候，已经让这片区域的监控都失效了。事到如今，也无法主动触发警报装置，通知治安部门。

SharkryMaybe we could try calling them directly—Hmm, no, that won't work either~直接通讯——好像也不行呢~

CentaureissiGiven our present firepower, it's hard for us to make enough of a racket to alert Public Security even if we hit the ship as hard as we could.以我们目前的火力，就算全力攻击这艘船，也很难造成足以惊动治安部门的响声，特别是在如此偏僻的地方。

MakiattoWe'll just have to play it by ear and do what we can as well as we can. Centaureissi... you can't fight, but you're agile and skillful. You should look for the control room.也只能见机行事了，我们先把能做的做好。 桑朵莱希……不能战斗，但身手比较灵活，你负责寻找控制室。

CentaureissiAlright. I'll try to hinder the enemy once I do.好，找到控制室后，我来限制敌方行动。

SharkryI'll be the distraction, then~那，当诱饵的工作就交给我吧~

SpringfieldPlaying the role of distraction is too dangerous considering your lack of battle experience...诱饵这个位置，对没什么战斗经验的你来说太危险了……

SharkryTeehee, then you can cover me from the shadows, Manager~ You used to be a super elite Tactical Doll in the past, right?嘻嘻，店长可以在暗中掩护我嘛~店长以前也是非常厉害的精英战术人形，对吧？

MakiattoNo. Sharkry is inexperienced and won't be able to handle that position. Springfield hasn't fought for a long time, so we can't consider her a fully capable fighter.不行，夏克里这种没有经验的人形，肯定无法胜任这个位置。春田离开战场很久了，合理考虑也不能算一个完整的战力。

SpringfieldSo you'll be the distraction, then? I'll support you.那玛绮朵来做诱饵吗？我来协助你。

MakiattoNo, Sharkry doesn't have enough experience to handle the mission alone. We can't let her go by herself.不行，夏克里没有单人执行任务的经验，不能让她自己一组。

MakiattoI'll be the distraction by myself. You two should be team two. It'll be safer that way. Plus, Sharkry's crazy ideas will probably come in handy.还是我一个人来做诱饵，你们两个作为第二组成员好了，安全一些。夏克里那些稀奇古怪的点子也能派上用场。

SpringfieldI'm opposed to that. I won't let you take the most dangerous role of the mission by yourself. I'll go with you—that way the two of us can help each other out.我反对。 我不能把你一个人放在最危险的位置上。我和你一起，两人之间还可以互相照应。

MakiattoWhat, what kind of reason is that? I told you, you don't need to do that! In fact, having someone else around will only keep me from bringing out my full potential! You should make sure Sharkry doesn't—这、这算什么理由，我都说不用了，两个人反而影响我发挥！ 你还是看着点夏克里别让她——

SharkrySharkry's opposed to it too ♥ Macchiato should do all that sneaky-peeky stuff, Sharkry doesn't wanna~夏克里也反对哟♥ 偷偷摸摸的工作玛绮朵来做就好了嘛，夏克里才不要做呢~

Makiatto...Would you PLEASE not butt into this?……你别添乱了好吗？

MakiattoA distraction isn't just going to have to draw fire, they'll have to be mindful of the overall situation and keep the enemy from finding and interfering with the other two missions. A single mistake could spell the end of everything—can you do that?诱饵要承担的不仅是吸引火力的任务，更要兼顾全场的局势，让敌人不会发现并干扰另外两组的工作，稍有闪失就会全盘皆输，你做得到吗？

Sharkry(Sigh) Could it be that in Makiatto's eyes, Sharkry is nothing but a fluffy-headed valley Doll who only knows how to look pretty and suck up to people? Don't look down on me, Sharkry's been through her share of dangerous situations too.哈，难道在玛绮朵眼里，夏克里就是一个什么都做不到、只会讨好别人的洋娃娃？ 别小瞧人了，危险的事夏克里也经历了不少哦。

Makiatto...Now isn't the time for that!……现在不是说这个的时候！

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, Miss Makiatto, please calm yourselves.夏克里小姐、玛绮朵小姐，请都先冷静一点。

SharkrySharkry's as cool as a cucumber. And besides, it's Makiatto who doesn't trust Sharkry, right?夏克里现在很冷静哦。 说到底，玛绮朵就是不相信夏克里吧？

MakiattoI never—我没有——

SharkryAre you that against acknowledging Sharkry's skills? I mean, Sharkry did pull your butt out of the fire just a short while ago.就这么不愿意承认夏克里吗？明明刚才还是靠夏克里解决了危机呢。

Makiatto...……

SharkryAhhh—I've been putting up with this for a really long time now. Makiatto keeps acting like she can do everything by herself—don't you think that arrogance is kind of laughable?啊——我忍超久了，玛绮朵好像觉得只有自己能摆平一切呢，这种自尊也太可笑了吧？

SharkryThe same thing happened just now; back in Zucchero, we all agreed that we would only start investigating the area once everyone got there, but Makiatto insisted on going by herself. Now Makiatto's got it into her head to become a one-Doll show... Sharkry might not have battle experience, but even Sharkry knows how ridiculously dangerous it is to go out and serve as bait all by yourself with nobody to help you!之前也是，明明在方糖的时候大家商量好了，等全部抵达后再开始勘察，玛绮朵非要自己一个人去。现在玛绮朵竟然又想一个人去当诱饵……夏克里就算再没有战斗经验，也知道没有任何接应、单独行动的诱饵危险性高到离谱吧！

SharkryYou said a single mistake could spell the end of everything, so I'm asking you—who exactly is the one that's stacking the deck so high that everything hinges on not making a single mistake?!说着稍有闪失就会全盘皆输，到底是谁在横冲直撞呀！

MakiattoI-I'm sure it'll work out somehow, you can come help me once you and Centaureissi finish your missions...总、总会有办法的，你们和桑朵莱希任意一方完成任务，都可以来接应我……

SharkryBut what if we haven't? You want us to go back and pick up Makiatto's frame after it's been shot to Swiss cheese? It's one thing to instantly shoot down every suggestion I make; after all, Sharkry can't help you much in battle, but are you even going to pretend you don't notice Manager's concern for you, Makiatto?那没完成呢？没完成就去回收玛绮朵那被打烂了的素体吗？！ 总是一口回绝夏克里的想法也就算了，毕竟夏克里在战斗方面是帮不上什么忙，但玛绮朵现在连店长的关心也要假装看不到吗？

SharkryNo, wait, let me guess; Makiatto loves the feeling of being the number one top elite, so she simply doesn't care what other people think. Am I right?难道说，玛绮朵小姐很享受这样高高在上的感觉，所以根本不在乎别人的想法？

MakiattoI do not! What the heck are you even saying?!我没有！你在胡说什么啊？！

SpringfieldThat's enough, both of you!都不要吵了！

(Springfield steps forward and inserts herself between the two of them.)（春田往前几步，站在了两人中间。）

(After seeing Springfield take a stern tone, one of the rare few occasions she's done so during all the time that Sharkry has known her, the latter pouts, but says no more, while Makiatto frowns and looks away. Neither of them continues the argument.)（看到春田难得强硬的样子，夏克里瘪着嘴沉默下来，玛绮朵皱着眉移开目光，都没有继续争执。）

SpringfieldAre we calm now? Would you like to hear me out?都冷静下来了？耐心听我说好吗？

(Springfield sighs quietly as she recalls her time in Griffin.)（春田轻轻地叹了一口气，不免想起了过去在格里芬的时候。）

(There were many Dolls in Griffin and disputes like this arose every now and then, when friction led to sparks to start flying.)（格里芬中人形众多，也不时会有这样的摩擦发生。）

(The Commander had been the one to break up those fights back then and the Commander had also been the one who controlled assignments for dispatch operations.)（那时候的争执，大都是由指挥官从中调解，外出作战时的分配，也多是指挥官把控。）

(Now, both these weighty burdens rest on her shoulders.)（现在，这份职责来到了自己身上。）

SpringfieldSharkry, you've misunderstood Makiatto. She is simply concerned for everyone's safety and you are a part of "everyone". But Makiatto, Sharkry has a point. Since we have four people here, we need to allocate our members in the most optimal way to complete our mission.夏克里，你误会玛绮朵了，她只是担心大家的安全，这个“大家”里，也包括你。 但是玛绮朵，夏克里说的也有道理，我们既然来了4个人，就要基于当前成员，选择最优解去完成任务。

SpringfieldTherefore, Makiatto and I will form a team. We will be responsible for supporting the others and ensuring all fire is directed at us. Centaureissi will secure the control room while Sharkry will find a place to hide and stand by. Once we draw the enemies away, she will make a big disturbance and get the police's attention.所以，我和玛绮朵一组，负责支援，保证吸引全部火力，桑朵莱希前往控制室，夏克里先寻找隐蔽处待机，等我们将敌人引走后再伺机制造大动静，引起治安部门注意。

Makiatto...……

SpringfieldIf you don't speak up, then I'll assume you're fine with it, Sharkry?不说话我就当你答应了哦，夏克里呢？

Sharkry...Of course, I'll listen to anything Manager says ♥……店长的话，夏克里当然会听啦♥

SharkrySorry, Sharkry was too anxious just now and ruined the mood... I mean, Makiatto was going this won't work and that won't work... even though I wanted to do my part too, boohoo...抱歉哦，夏克里刚才太着急了呢，把气氛都搞僵啦……谁让玛绮朵这个不行那个不让的……明明人家想好好承担起责任的呜呜呜……

BeepyBeepbeepbeep.哔哔哔……

SharkryYeah, Sharkry will have Beepy too.嗯，还有小哔陪着夏克里呢。

??Beep—hss—哔——滋——

SharkryWait a minute, why does Beepy's voice sound so harsh?小哔的声音怎么变得这么难听了？

SpringfieldThat's not Beepy's voice!不是小哔的声音！

SharkryHuh?欸？

(A burst of static comes from the loudspeakers on the roof, so shrill that the metal bulkheads around them seem to hum in response. Everyone's hands fly to their ears.)（房顶上的扩音器传出巨大的噪音，刺耳的声浪让金属的墙壁似乎也嗡鸣起来，几人都抬手捂住了耳朵。）

??Oi, oi, oi, oi, what the hell is this? There was only one earlier, so why are there four of them now?喂喂喂这是怎么回事？刚才是一个这会有四个了？

Sharkry...Who's that?……谁？

CentaureissiIt's Farkas!是佛尔卡什！

FarkasStart all the robots up! All hands, gather in the hold below decks!把所有机械全部启动！所有人，到底层仓库集合！

MakiattoTsk, more trouble for us...啧，更麻烦了……

SharkryHow, how are there so many robots?!怎、怎么有这么多机械啊？！

SpringfieldThere's nothing we can do but fight! ...Wait, we can, right?只能迎战了……可以吗？

MakiattoOf course. I replenished my ammo long ago.当然。弹药早就补充好了。

SharkryAll thanks to Sharkry, right~?多亏了夏克里，对吧~？

Center of the Stage 舞台的中心

SharkryHaaah... These are the only robots left, right? Aiiiieee?! Why is the floor shaking... Gwaaargh!哈……应该就这些机械了吧？ 咦？！地面怎么在晃……啊呀！

CentaureissiIt's the ship! The ship's moving!是船，船开动了！

SharkryEeeeek—Ah, wait, stop!噫——啊等、等一下！

(This ship shudders and a smoking, spark-spewing robot slides across the deck on a collision course with Sharkry. Meanwhile, Sharkry is entangled in the remains of a destroyed robot and can't extricate herself in time—)（船体晃动了起来，一台正滋着火花的机械顺着甲板撞向了夏克里，而夏克里正被毁坏的机械缠住，一时无法调整姿势——）

MakiattoTsk... Don't blame me, this is for your mistress' sake.啧……别怪我，这可是为了你的主人。

BeepyBeep—!哔——！

(Makiatto grabs one of Beepy's legs and throws it to Sharkry. With a "doink", Sharkry and Beepy recoil away from each other and sprawl on the ground.)（玛绮朵抓住小哔的一只后腿，把它扔向夏克里，“咚”的一声，夏克里和小哔分别向两侧弹开，齐齐在地上滚了两圈。）

SharkryThat, that was close, Sharkry's beautiful face was nearly destroyed back there!好、好危险，夏克里漂亮的脸蛋差一点就要毁啦！

MakiattoHmph, no need to thank—哼，不用谢——

SharkryYou're the best, Beepy ♥真是多亏了小哔♥

BeepyBeepbeep!哔哔！

Makiatto... Meh, like I care. Farkas is moving faster than expected. We'll need to act quickly and I'm sure these aren't all the robots at his disposal. If we stay here, we'll be surrounded by more robots in no time.…… 没空理你。佛尔卡什行动比我们预期得要快，我们要抓紧了，而且他操控的机械应该不止这些，继续待在这里，很快就会被更多的机械包围。

MakiattoSpringfield, Sharkry might not be able to disengage as planned... I think you should—春田，夏克里可能无法按计划避战脱身……我觉得你还是——

SpringfieldNo can do. The distraction assignment is going to be even tougher; I won't let you go alone.不行，诱敌会变得更加凶险，你不能一个人行动。

MakiattoBut if we can't break out and get Public Security's attention, all our effort will go to waste. Or are you saying the four of us can take down every single enemy?但如果不能突破包围，引起治安部门注意的话，我们所有的努力都会白费，还是说你觉得我们4人能击溃所有敌人？

SpringfieldBut...可是……

Sharkry...…………

SharkryHmph, looks like Makiatto's not that smart after all.哼，看来玛绮朵也不怎么聪明嘛。

MakiattoWhat do you mean?你什么意思？

SharkrySharkry already has a way to get the police's attention without getting past the criminals!夏克里已经想好了哦，不用突破也能引起治安部门注意的方法！

MakiattoWhat way—什么方——

SharkryThere's no time to explain. Just do your thing and know that things are under control. Here, put this on.来不及解释那么多了啦，玛绮朵安心去做诱饵就是了。 来，把这个头套戴好吧。

(Sharkry heads to a corner and picks up the head of the bear mascot costume, which is miraculously unscathed.)（夏克里走到角落，弯腰捡起奇迹般完好无损的小熊玩偶服头套。）

(Makiatto backs up, but in the end she takes the headpiece from Sharkry.)（玛绮朵往后退了一步，但还是接过了头套。）

MakiattoIs there even a point to this now? They've seen our faces already.事到如今戴这个还有意义吗？我们几个的脸早就被他们看光了吧。

SharkryBut you can draw more attention with a teddy bear head. After all, teddy bears are way cuter than Makiatto~ That way, Manager, Centaureissi and Sharkry will be safer, right?可是，戴着小熊，就能吸引更多人的目光哦，毕竟小熊可比玛绮朵本人要可爱多啦~ 这样的话，店长、桑朵莱希还有夏克里也会更安全吧？

Makiatto...……

Makiatto...You...……你……

SharkryMe?我？

Makiatto...You... should be careful. Once things get chaotic I may not be able to protect you.……你……自己小心点，一会场面混乱，不太能照顾到你。

SharkryWhat's this—so you were worried about Sharkry all along?什么嘛——原来是在担心夏克里？

MakiattoI totally wasn't. I just don't want any screwups in the plan.才不是担心，只是不想计划出什么差错。

SharkryOh—I see, Makiatto. You're so cute~ Now then... Sharkry will entrust Makiatto with Sharkry's work ♥哦——这样啊，玛绮朵，真是可爱呢~ 那……夏克里的工作就拜托玛绮朵咯♥

MakiattoWhat?什么？

SharkryHup—嘿——

(Sharkry rotates the headpiece, obscuring Makiatto's vision. Caught off guard by the sudden change in visibility, Makiatto freezes up.)（夏克里轻巧地转了一下头套，头套旋转了起来。毫无防备的玛绮朵因为视野变化过快而趔趄了一下。）

MakiattoH—Hey!欸——欸！

SpringfieldMakiatto!玛绮朵！

CentaureissiNgh...!唔……！

SharkryMakiatto, you mega dork, there's no way I'd let anyone else be the center of attention. Since we'll have a hard time avoiding casualties even with the four of us, you might as well yield center stage to Sharkry ♥玛绮朵，大笨蛋，引人注意的事情，才不要交给别人呢！既然4人合作的最优解也难以避免牺牲，那就还是把舞台的中心还给夏克里吧♥

SharkryHowever, idols only handle the show; the success of the mission is up to the annoying Makiatto! Manager, take good care of Sharkry, okay? Sharkry would like to go back in one piece for the cafe live!不过，偶像只负责演出效果，任务的成功就交给讨厌的玛绮朵了！ 店长，掩护好夏克里哦，可以的话，夏克里还是想好好回去准备店庆哦！

MakiattoStop her!拦住她！

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, come back!夏克里小姐快回来！

SharkryLet's go, Beepy!小哔，我们走！

BeepyBeepbeep!哔哔！

(Makiatto wrenches the bear's head off and rushes to the doorway with Springfield, just in time to see Sharkry reach the end of the corridor and whip off the ribbon on her chest with a "whoosh".)（玛绮朵挣脱小熊头套，和春田一起冲到门口，刚好看到夏克里跑到了走廊尽头，“唰”地一下拉开了胸前的缎带。）

(Instantly, her black smock transforms into a shiny concert outfit, sparkling in the yellow light of the sodium lamps.)（她身上的黑色裙子立刻变成了一条镭射舞台裙，在昏黄的灯光下闪闪发光。）

(Sharkry even presses her index finger to her cheek and strikes a cute pose.)（夏克里甚至伸出食指搭在脸侧，摆了一个可爱的定格动作。）

SharkryThat's right, over here, over here~ If you want a great show, then try and keep up with me ♥看这边看这边~想看最精彩的演出，就跟上来吧♥

Laid-back YouthSomeone's gotten out! There, they're over there—有人跑出来了！在、在那边——

FarkasWhat are you all freaking standing around for?! The last one out there is going to be the guinea pig for my next experiment!傻站着干什么？谁落在最后，就给我下次实验当小白鼠！

Laid-back YouthOh, ohhh—hurry up, after her!哦、哦——快追！

Ill-Tempered YouthOhhhhhhh—哦哦哦哦哦哦——

SharkryUwah—呜哇——

BeepyBeepbeep!哔哔！

Ill-Tempered YouthNuuuu?! Take cover!呃？！隐蔽！

Laid-back YouthI gotta hide!让我躲一下！

Ill-Tempered YouthYou asshole! You're using me as cover?!你混蛋拿老子当掩体？！

Laid-back YouthThe hell are you so mad about, you've got a shield, don't you?小气什么你手里不是有防爆盾？！

SharkryBeepy, time to go—ehhh?! Why is there a dead end here? W-what should I do?小哔快溜——欸？！这里怎么是死路啊！怎、怎么办？

FarkasIs that one of my Dinergates? You miserable little thief...我的兵蚁？恶心的小偷……

SharkryHey, Uncle, let me set this straight, I didn't steal anything!大叔您搞清楚好不好，我才没有偷！

BeepyBeep—!哔——！

MakiattoShe was talking so big just a few moments ago, but isn't she in big trouble now?刚才还说得那么有底气，这不是立刻陷入危机了吗！

SpringfieldSwitch to night vision mode.你们打开夜视模式。

Ill-Tempered Youth(Coughs heavily) Where the hell did this smoke come from?!咳——咳咳！哪来的烟？！

MakiattoWhat's that? A smoke stick?这是什么？发烟棒？

SpringfieldYup, I took it from Sharkry's purchases. Let's split up; I'll cover her and you take Sharkry's position. You need to draw the police's attention to this area!嗯，我从夏克里买的物资里拿的。 分头行动吧，我来掩护她，玛绮朵你顶替夏克里的位置，务必让治安部门注意到这片区域！

MakiattoTsk, be careful, you two. Call me if there's any danger... and Springfield, make sure you properly educate her once all this is over! I'm off!啧，你们小心，有危险就叫我……春田，这件事结束之后，你要好好教育一下她！ 走了！

CentaureissiI'll head to the control room.我去控制室。

SpringfieldTake this smoke stick. It might end up being useful. Farkas might be there too, so stay safe and keep in contact.发烟棒分给你，也许有用。佛尔卡什可能也在，注意安全，保持联络。

(Under cover of the crowd and the smokescreen, Makiatto and Centaureissi split off on their own routes.)（在人群与烟雾的掩盖下，玛绮朵和桑朵莱希相继离开。）

(Not far away, Springfield's voice comes through Sharkry's communicator—）（不远处，夏克里的通讯器中传来春田的声音——）

SharkryW-wait a minute—huh? Was that a smoke stick?等、等一下——欸？这是，发烟棒？

SpringfieldSharkry, continue heading towards your 12 o' clock.夏克里，往你的12点方向走。

SharkryManager! Teehee, Sharkry always believed Manager would help Sharkry.店长！嘻嘻，夏克里可是一直相信店长会帮夏克里的啦~

SpringfieldEnough messing around. Now, run through the crowd and turn left after going 50 meters. There's a staircase leading up there.别撒娇了。趁现在，穿过人群，50米后左转，有向上的楼梯。

SharkryGotcha~ the show must go on ♥了解~演出，继续咯♥

Ill-Tempered Youth(Coughs heavily) What, what the hell was that? And why the hell did you hit me on the shoulders?!咳、咳——什、什么东西？你打我肩膀干什么？！

Laid-back YouthIt wasn't me, it was that Doll! She's escaped!不是我是那个人形！她跑了！

SharkryEveryone~ Sharkry's over here! Don't fall behind, okay~?大家~夏克里在这边哦！别跟丢啦——

Laid-back YouthShe's gone upstairs! Everyone, after her!她上楼了，大家快追！

Ill-Tempered YouthOhhhhhh—哦哦哦哦哦哦哦——

(Sharkry follows Springfield's directions and climbs the stairs with nimble steps.)（按照春田的指示，夏克里踩着灵巧的步伐上了楼。）

(However, the moment she sets foot on her destination floor, she finds a short man with a bruised face charging crookedly at her, a heavy-looking submachine gun in his hands.)（但她刚一露面，就发现迎面歪歪扭扭地冲来一个鼻青脸肿的矮个男人，男人手里抱着一把看上去很沉重的冲锋枪。）

Short ManI'll, I'll stop her— abbahh!我来、我来拦住她——唔噗！

SharkryOh dear~哎呀~

BeepyBeep—!哔——！

Short ManAiiieee—噫——

(Beepy attacks the little man, who loses his balance and his control over the submachine gun in his hands, which goes on to rake the crowd chasing Sharkry.)（受到小哔攻击，矮个男子失去平衡，手里的冲锋枪不受控制地扫射向追在夏克里身后的人群。）

Ill-Tempered YouthYou stupid bastard, where the hell are you aiming!混蛋你往哪打呢！

Laid-back YouthStop!快停下！

SharkryCrisis averted~ Manager, Manager, where to next?危机解除~ 店长店长，接下来要往哪边走？

SpringfieldHead 30 meters forward and turn right. Be careful, there might be ambushers. After that, turn left at the second fork and head upstairs. I'll cover you from the turn.向前30米后右拐，注意可能有伏兵。 然后在第二个岔路左转上楼，我在拐角处掩护你。

SharkryKaaay—好——

SpringfieldCentaureissi, how are things?桑朵莱希，情况如何？

CentaureissiI'm outside the control room, now trying to crack the cipher lock. There seem to be a couple of guards inside, but I can handle them.我已经抵达控制室门外，正在尝试破解密码锁。里面好像有1-2人留守，我可以处理。

SpringfieldAlright. Use the smoke stick to help you.好，可以配合使用发烟棒。

SharkryMake sure you use it! Sharkry's concert wares are all top-quality!一定要用哦！夏克里选的舞台用品质量都是最好的！

CentaureissiUnderstood. Also, Farkas doesn't seem to be here.了解。另外，佛尔卡什似乎不在这边。

SharkryHe can't have come to my side, right... Uwaah—Beepy, zap them!不可能来我这边了吧……呜哇——小哔快打！

SpringfieldMakiatto, how's your progress?玛绮朵的进展呢？

MakiattoWhat progress?!哪有什么进展啊！

MakiattoWhat are these, pigeons?! (Spits) ...Get lost already!鸽子？！呸呸呸……走开啦！

MakiattoIsn't there anything in here that goes "Boom" and gets everyone's attention?! All I have is this crap! And so much for a weapons expert; why is it that everything he made is a bunch of kids' toys?!就找不到那种，一下子就能“轰——”的让人注意到的东西吗？！就这，还军用武器专家，做的都是什么小玩具啊！

SharkryAwww, Makiatto's taking it out on inanimate objects because she's useless, how cute~因为自己的无能而对东西发脾气的玛绮朵，真可爱呢~

MakiattoShut up!吵死了！

SpringfieldThat's alright. We can still buy you more time.没关系，我们还能争取一些时间。

SharkryThings are going swimmingly over here~ Maybe Sharkry should go over and help useless Makiatto?这边进展超顺利呢~要不然还是夏克里来帮帮没用的玛绮朵吧？

MakiattoFine then, how do you plan to help?那你倒说说看你打算怎么帮？

SharkryUwah—Beepy, over there! Hmmm... Sharkry will mesmerize everyone with Sharkry's performance ♥呜哇——小哔，那边！ 唔……让所有人沉醉在夏克里的表演中♥

MakiattoSome help that would... Wait a minute, did you say "performance"?这算什么帮……你刚才说——表演？

SharkrySure did.说了哦？

MakiattoHey, what stuff got switched?喂，你什么东西被掉包了？

SharkryUwah—uwah—Beepy, over here! What stuff got switched... I think it was pigeons, fireworks, and balloons. What's up?呜哇——呜哇——小哔这里！ 什么东西……鸽子，烟花和气球哦，怎么啦？

MakiattoWell, the pigeons are here. That means they ought to be nearby...鸽子在这里的话，那应该就在附近……

CentaureissiReporting successful infiltration of the control room. All threats have been eliminated. Now cracking the control system.报告，我已成功入侵控制室，所有危险全部清除，现在正在破解控制系统。

SharkryOhhh? Centaureissi, are you willing to fight now?咦咦？桑朵莱希，莫非也愿意作战了吗？

CentaureissiI was only using items and launching sneak attacks. That hardly counts as a fight.只是使用道具和偷袭……没有正面交火，不算作战。

SharkryHaha, then it wasn't!~ Uwah—Say, Manager, is it me or are there more and more people here? Honestly, quit dragging your feet, Makiatto!哈哈，那就当不是啦~ 呜哇——我说店长！人是不是越来越多了？真是的，玛绮朵最磨蹭了！

MakiattoLay off me! Dammit... where is it...别烦我！ 可恶……放哪了……

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, gather the enemies on the deck.夏克里小姐，把敌人聚集在甲板上。

SharkryHuh? Okay, I'll try... But now, Sharkry has to think of a way to break through ♥ Let's go, Beepy!欸？好，我试试……不过现在，夏克里要想办法突围才行呢♥ 小哔，我们上！

Center of the Stage 舞台的中心

SharkryOh my... Things don't look too good. Makiatto, how much longer is this going to take?啊呀……情况不太妙呢。 玛绮朵，那个“办法”到底还要多久！

MakiattoAhhhhh—quit bugging me, I'm looking for it!啊啊——不要催了我在找了！

SpringfieldMind your 10 o'clock!小心10点方向！

SharkryWow—that was close! Oh my, could that dirty-looking old geezer be...?哇——好险好险！哎呀，那个邋遢大叔难道就是……？

(A person appears in the back of the group, flanked by robot bodyguards.)（一个人影被两台机械护卫着，出现在人群中后段。）

(He steps on one of the machines defending him and leisurely leans back.)（那人踩着护卫自己的机械，慢悠悠地换了个姿势。）

FarkasDone running? Hmph, so much for an exciting show. It's curtains for you!不跑了吗？哼，什么精彩的演出，差不多该谢幕了！

SharkryAs long as you like it~您喜欢就好~

Sharkry(Whimper) Manager, what should I do? Beepy and I are low on ammo...呜……店长怎么办呀？我和小哔的弹药都不多了……

SpringfieldThe smoke sticks are gone... Sharkry, let's hit them from the front and—发烟棒已经用光了……夏克里，我们前后夹击——

SharkryNononono don't, Manager! How can we pincer attack so many people with just the two of us? Don't worry, Sharkry did a neural cloud backup before heading out—不不不店长不要过来！我们两个要怎么夹击他们这么多人啊！ 没关系，夏克里出发之前，已经上传心智存档了——

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, would you mind drawing their attention away from their feet?夏克里小姐，能不能让他们不要注意脚下？

SharkryEveryone?让所有人吗？

CentaureissiPlease try.请务必想想办法。

MakiattoI've got it— Sharkry, jump over to the railings on the bow.找到了—— 夏克里，跳到船头的栏杆上去。

SharkryMakiatto, do you want Sharkry to do a swan dive? Sharkry doesn't have submersion modules!玛绮朵是要夏克里跳船吗？夏克里可没装浮潜模块！

Makiatto...Just jump already! ...I'll try to trust you more in the future, so please, right now, trust me.……让你跳你就跳！ 我以后也……也会试着多信任你一些，这次你就相信我吧。

Sharkry...What, what are you saying... And at a time like this...……在、在说什么啊……这种时候了……

MakiattoSh-shut up! I've prepared the stage you always wanted.别、别多说了！ 你最想要的舞台，我可都给你准备好了。

Sharkry...Hng!……唔！

SharkryEveryone~ Up next is the climax of our show! Don't look away, okay~大家~接下来为各位带来的是最后的压轴节目！千万不要眨眼哦~

Farkas...What are you doing?……你想干什么？

SharkryIf you miss it, you'll regret. It. For. Ever ♥错过的话，会后·悔·一·万·年·哟♥

(Sharkry executes a graceful jump, springing off a raised assault shield and deftly adjusting her posture in mid-air before landing gracefully on the bow railings.)（夏克里利落地起跳，踩着最近的一个人举起的突击盾，在空中调整姿势，稳稳地落在船头的栏杆上。）

MakiattoNow!就是现在！

Laid-back Youth...What the hell is she...……这是在干什么……

Ill-Tempered Youth...W-wait, are those fireworks?……是、是烟花？

CentaureissiWell done.做得好。

Sharkry...Huh?……咦？

(The sound of grinding machinery is accompanied by the deck below their feet splitting into two halves that separate from each other.)（随着机械转动的声音，人群脚下的甲板向两侧打开。）

FarkasThe cargo elevator?!升降口？！

Short ManWhat the—gwaaaargh?!怎么——欸？！

Laid-back YouthGet away!快闪开！

Ill-Tempered YouthWho the hell did that aaaaah—是谁啊啊啊啊————

Sharkry...Huh? They're... all gone...?……咦？全都……没了……？

MakiattoI'm coming out! Centaureissi!我出来了！桑朵莱希！

CentaureissiAlright.好。

(The sound of a button being pressed comes in over the comm channel. The sound of machinery turning comes from below decks, followed by something falling and being locked.)（通讯中传来按钮启动的声音，甲板下随之传来了机械运转的摩擦声，接着似乎是什么东西落下和上锁的声音。）

(All sound vanishes a moment later.)（片刻过后，一切声音都消失了。）

SharkryAiiieeeee?!欸？！

End of Fantasy 狂想落幕

Sharkry...Whoa.……哇哦。

MakiattoHey, what are you spacing out for?喂，还在发什么呆？

(Sharkry smooths out her slightly-mussed hair, then looks back to see Makiatto hanging onto the railings on the outside of the ship before launching herself up onto the deck with a flip. She's holding a filthy bear costume headpiece in one hand.)（夏克里整理了一下有些散乱的头发，回头看到玛绮朵扒着栏杆吊在货船外面，正往甲板上翻，她的一只手还抱着脏兮兮的小熊的头套。）

SharkryYou brought Mr. Bear along, Makiatto?玛绮朵把小熊也带过来了？

MakiattoEh, I was just carrying the rest of the fireworks in it. Hm... it is more convenient this way.只是用来装剩下的烟花。嗯……这样的确是方便一些。

SpringfieldSharkry, Makiatto, are the two of you alright?夏克里，玛绮朵，你们两个都没事吧？

MakiattoAs though I could be anything but fine. She, on the other hand, looks like she was scared silly.我能有什么事？就是这家伙像是被吓傻了。

SharkryHmph, Sharkry's seen it all before, unlike Makiatto and her lack of imagination~哼，夏克里什么场面没见过，才不像玛绮朵那么没想象力呢~

MakiattoYou say that, but your knees have turned to jelly, haven't they?还说没有，这不是腿软了吗？

SharkryHow could a Doll's knees be jelly~ It's showmanship, my dear, showmanship ♥人形怎么会被吓到腿软~ 是演技啦，演技♥

CentaureissiIs everyone alright?大家都没事吧？

SpringfieldWe're fine. How about you?我们都好，你呢？

CentaureissiI've got some minor frame damage, but it's within an acceptable range.素体有轻微损伤，在可承受范围内。

CentaureissiI've already disabled the ship's propulsion and camouflage systems. Farkas and most of his men have been locked in the underdeck holds. The fireworks Miss Makiatto set off should have been enough to get the police's attention.我已经关闭了这艘船的动力和光学迷彩，佛尔卡什和他大部分手下也被关在了甲板下方的仓库中。刚才玛绮朵小姐燃放的烟花，应该足以引起治安部门的注意了。

SharkryCentaureissi, it was so cool when the deck opened up all of a sudden just now! I can't believe you came up with an idea like that~ Teehee, now they're... frogs in a... That's right, frogs in a well ♥桑朵莱希，刚刚甲板“啪”的一下突然打开，真是太酷啦！真亏您能想到这样的点子呢~ 嘻嘻，这下他们变成……嗯，什么青蛙……对，井底的青蛙♥

(Sharkry taps her feet on the ground. Beepy imitates her and prances on the deck plates with a clanking noise.)（夏克里跺了跺脚，小哔也学着她的样子在甲板上蹦跶起来，一起发出“咚咚”的噪音。）

MakiattoGod, you two are so noisy. Also, that's not how you use "frogs in a well"!你们两个吵死了，而且井底青蛙也不是这么用的吧！

SharkryHey, this is a victory dance! I knew it, Makiatto doesn't have a romantic bone in her body~这是庆祝胜利的舞蹈，玛绮朵果然没有浪漫细胞呢~

MakiattoDolls have bones?人形有细胞？

SpringfieldShhh—Be quiet, you two. I think I heard something...嘘——你们别吵，好像有什么声音……

MakiattoYou mean it's not from them?不是这俩的噪音？

CentaureissiNo... It's coming from somewhere lower down... Miss Sharkry!不对……这个声音好像是更下面……夏克里小姐！

SharkryAiiieeee?!咦咦咦？！

(Centaureissi pulls Sharkry aside, just as the section of deck where Sharkry has been tap-dancing on is utterly annihilated.)（桑朵莱希把夏克里拽到一边，就在同时，“轰”的一声，夏克里刚才还站在上面跺脚的甲板被彻底击穿。）

(The elevator slowly rises and a mind-bogglingly huge Dinergate appears before everyone.)（升降台缓缓升起，一个超乎想象的巨大兵蚁出现在众人面前。）

MakiattoWhat the heck is that?!那是什么？！

Centaureissi...……

Farkas...Hehehe... AHAHAHAHAHA!……呵呵呵……哈哈哈哈哈！

SharkryW-what's this... bosses with villainous laughs like that aren't cool anymore...什、什么啊……这种狂笑的反派BOSS早就不流行啦……

FarkasI can't believe a bunch of rats managed to push me this far... Perhaps I should break you all down to bits and then put you back together into one being so you'll never be apart. Would that be better?竟然被一些老鼠搞到这种地步…… 是不是把你们四个拆成碎片再组合起来，让你们永远不会分开比较好？

SharkryEwwww, you're sick, old geezer!大叔的品味也太恶心啦！

SpringfieldI can't believe he actually had something like that... Be careful, he's about to attack!没想到他竟然有这种东西……小心应对，他要攻击了！

FarkasHehehe—that's right, struggle as much as you want—!嘻嘻嘻——尽情反抗吧——！

SharkryWhat are you so smug for? I've got a Dinergate too; Beepy—得意什么？ 要说兵蚁我也有，小哔——

BeepyBiwoo...哔呜……

SharkryBeepy?小哔？

FarkasHehe, don't you get it? That Dinergate has a little program inside it that prevents it from resisting this Flareberus... Hahahaha, well, it was an inferior copy of it to begin with.呵呵，不明白吗？你那类兵蚁内置有一个小程序，让它无法反抗这台烈日魔犬…… 呵呵呵呵，本来也就是个劣化样品而已。

SharkryHow dare you treat Beepy that way!竟然这么对小哔，可恶！

Makiatto...Sharkry, you shouldn't say anything else.……夏克里，你还是别说话了。

FarkasAre those your last words? Now then... As long as I have this Flareberus, there's no way I can lose! You'll never take me in! NEVER! AHAHAHAHA!遗言就这些吗？那么接下来……只要还有这台烈日魔犬，我就不会输！ 我绝对不会被制裁，绝对不会……哈哈哈哈哈！

SpringfieldWe've already come this far. We can't let him get away!都到这一步了，不能让他逃跑！

MakiattoBut of course. He's nothing more than an egomaniac hiding in a pile of scrap; I'm going to blast him out of there!那当然。 不就是个躲在废铁里的自大狂，看我把他轰出来！

End of Fantasy 狂想落幕

Farkas...No... I can't... I can't be beaten! NEVER! AAAAAHHHHH—……不……不会……我不会被制裁！绝对不会！啊啊啊啊啊——

The ruined Flareberus limps over to the edge of the vessel. Its formerly formidable frame is spilling parts all over the deck plating.（破损的烈日魔犬艰难地向甲板边缘移动，原本焊接在它躯体上的各种细碎零件不断掉在甲板上。）

(Just as everyone is on guard against the Flareberus, a ruined mechanical limb raises a weapon—)（就在大家都防备着烈日魔犬时，一台只剩下残肢断臂的机械举起了武器——）

CentaureissiLook out!小心！

(Before it can open fire, Centaureissi scoops up a gun from the ground and neatly punches a hole through the robot's control hub.)（赶在机械开枪之前，桑朵莱希随手捡起一把混战中掉在地面上的枪，稳稳地击穿了机械的控制枢纽。）

Makiatto...Centaureissi, you...?……桑朵莱希，你……？

CentaureissiFarkas is getting away!佛尔卡什要逃跑了！

SharkryHonestly, villains who run away when they're beaten are totally out of style and totally lame!真是的，打不过就跑的反派BOSS也不流行啦，太土了哦！

SpringfieldWe need to keep the Flareberus from moving...需要立刻封锁烈日魔犬的行动……

Makiatto...Use the fireworks!……用烟花！

SharkryThe fireworks?烟花？

SpringfieldWhat do you have in mind?你打算怎么办？

MakiattoDon't ask so many questions; just aim for the holes in that big hunk of junk's armor and throw them in.别问那么多了，你们尽量瞄准那个混蛋大铁块身上外装甲开启的部分，把这些烟花扔过去。

SharkryEhhh? But it's too far! They won't reach!欸？距离这么远，扔不到啦！

MakiattoJust throw them and leave the rest to me.先扔再说，剩下的交给我。

Sharkry...Hmph, fine, Sharkry won't ask anymore! Eiiii—……哼，夏克里可不管了！嘿——

SharkrySee, I told you—eeeek?!看嘛我就说——噫？！

(A bullet shoots forth; Sharkry stares dumbfoundedly at Makiatto as she puts down the gun she's holding and cooly combs a wind-blown lock of hair back behind her ear.)（一枚子弹飞射而出，夏克里有些呆滞地看着面前的玛绮朵放下手里的枪，随手把被风吹乱的头发别回耳后。）

MakiattoHmph.哼。

Sharkry...Did Makiatto... Just hit that firework in mid-air?……玛绮朵……射中了刚刚的烟花？

MakiattoThat was a good throw. Keep going.扔得还行吧，继续。

CentaureissiDid the shockwave and heat from the exploding firework affect the Flareberus?是烟花爆炸产生的冲击力和高温，影响了烈日魔犬吗？

MakiattoYup. It was beaten up to begin with. You could have wrecked it even without a direct hit. I saw those fireworks go up pretty high just now, so each of them must have a pretty big propelling charge.嗯，那东西本来就破破烂烂的了，不用直接命中也能破坏。刚才我看那些烟花射挺高的，单发火药含量应该不低。

SharkryBut of course! Sharkry only buys the best stage props!那当然，都说夏克里买的舞台道具都是最好的了！

SpringfieldThat's... a very romantic way of attacking.是……很浪漫的攻击方式呢。

MakiattoRomantic my foot, this is a last resort!什么浪漫，这不过是——迫不得已！

(Springfield and Centaureissi throw the fireworks they're holding as well. As crisp reports of gunfire ring out, brilliant explosions of sparkling embers erupt near the Flareberus.)（春田和桑朵莱希也把手中的烟花扔了出去，随着干脆利落的枪响，烈日魔犬身边燃起了热烈灿烂的花朵。）

SharkryAwright! These fireworks are great too! Bring them on~ Eiii— Beepy, you throw some too~好耶！这样的烟花也不错嘛，再来再来~嘿——小哔也来扔几个~

BeepyBeepbeep!哔哔~！

MakiattoThis isn't a game—don't throw so many at once!又不是在玩——你不要一次扔这么多！

CentaureissiLook over there, it's Farkas.看那边，是佛尔卡什。

Farkas(Coughing and spluttering) D-dammit...咳、咳咳……可……可恶……！

(An armored panel on the Flareberus flies off as someone from inside kicks it loose. Farkas stumbles out of the billowing black smoke and collapses onto the deck.)（烈日魔犬身躯上的一块装甲板“啪嗒”一声被里面的人踹开，滚滚黑烟中，佛尔卡什一头栽倒在甲板上。）

FarkasWait a minute, I've got an idea—why don't you join me? I-I'll modify you into the ultimate weapons... uuurgh!等一下，你们要不要加入我这边……我会、会把你们改造成最强的兵器……呜！

SharkryHello? Uncle? Helloooo? Lame old man? Mhm, looks like he won't be waking up for a while.大叔？喂——很土的大叔？ 嗯嗯，看来他一时不会醒来了呢。

CentaureissiMaybe we should tie him up? I'll go look for some rope nearby—还是把他捆起来吧？我去找找附近有没有绳索——

SpringfieldDon't go! Come here, quick! You too, Sharkry!别去！快过来，夏克里也是！

SharkryHuh? What—owwww hey! Makiatto, quit pressing my head down, you're messing up my hair!咦？怎么——哎呀玛绮朵怎么可以按人家的脑袋，发型都乱了！

MakiattoBe quiet!别吵！

SharkryIt's a police drone! Ah, my outfit!是治安部门的无人机！啊，裙子！

(As Makiatto presses her into the shadow of the Flareberus' wreckage, Sharkry finally remembers her sparkling stage outfit.)（被玛绮朵按着脑袋藏在魔犬残骸阴影中的夏克里，终于想起了自己身上闪亮的舞台裙。）

(As the drone's searchlight beam approaches, she quickly returns it to its camouflage mode.)（在无人机的光束靠近前，她赶紧重新用漆黑的布料遮挡好。）

CentaureissiThey're police robots... And there are a ton of them. Looks like the fireworks were effective.是安保机器人……数量不少，看来烟花的确有效。

SharkryBut of course. Fireworks permits are really expensive; how could they allow anyone to let them off without authorization? How are we going to escape? The police robots will find us if we head back to port...那当然啦，烟花燃放许可那么贵，他们怎么可能允许私自燃放嘛。 但是这样我们怎么逃走呀？回码头的话肯定会被安保机器人发现……

Springfield...We'll have to go the other way.……只能走另一边了。

SharkryThe other way?另一边？

SpringfieldThere aren't any police robots on the water yet.水上暂时还没有安保机器人。

SharkryM-Manager... Sharkry doesn't have submersion modules... Surely you don't want Sharkry to sink into the dark water and get covered in icky seaweed, right (whimper) ♥店、店长……夏克里没有装浮潜模块呢……店长一定也不想夏克里沉入黑漆漆的水底长满讨厌的藻类吧呜呜呜♥

MakiattoQuit crying. Take this and hold on to it.别哭哭啼啼的，这个给你，抱好了。

SharkryMr. Bear?小熊？

MakiattoIt's empty. Pray it helps you float.空心的，祈祷它能让你浮起来吧。

Sharkry...Who would have thought Sharkry's only hope would be Mr. Bear...……没想到夏克里的生存希望，竟然要寄托在小熊身上……

MakiattoYou'd better keep your mouth shut. I don't want us all to get caught because of your screaming.你最好捂住嘴，不要因为尖叫害大家被发现。

SharkryHow could that happen, Sharkry will dive silently like a mermaid princess.怎么会呢，夏克里会像人鱼公主一般静悄悄地跳下去哦。

MakiattoYou'd better.你最好是。

SpringfieldEveryone ready? Three, two, one... jump!都准备好了吗？ 一、二……三，跳！

SharkryAaaaah—!呀————！

BeepyBeepbeepbeep!哔哔哔！！

(Several hours later, dawn comes to Zucchero—)（几小时后，方糖咖啡馆再次迎来了清晨——）

(After returning to the cafe, Sharkry, Springfield, and Centaureissi change out of their soaking wet clothes and return to their daily routine of doing the morning chores.)（返回咖啡馆，夏克里、春田和桑朵莱希已经换下了湿漉漉的衣服，正在按照往常的习惯，做着晨间清扫工作。）

(After cleaning herself up, Makiatto returns to her place at the counter and begins folding a paper plane.)（打理好自己后，玛绮朵无所事事地坐在吧台前，又折起了纸飞机。）

(It's plain to see that paper planes won't reach them, but as long as I stay in the cafe, I'll be able to receive news about them from time to time until the agreement expires.)（显然，纸飞机无法顺着风飞向那个人身边，但只要留在咖啡馆，在协议作废前，至少偶尔还能收到那个人的消息。）

(Come to think of it, they haven't made contact in a while. Should I send a message to ask? If there's a way we could work together on a commission...)（说起来，那家伙已经很久没有发来联络了。要主动发信问一问吗？如果有能合作的委托的话……）

(Dammit, who wants to make the first move and contact them, anyway?)（可恶！谁要主动联系那家伙啊！）

(Makiatto angrily crumples the paper plane and throws it on the table.)（玛绮朵恶狠狠地把纸飞机揉成了一团，扔在了桌面上。）

(Sharkry is wiping the table when she hears this and storms over. After chasing Makiatto away, she vigorously scrubs the places on the table where Makiatto rested her elbows.)（正在擦桌子的夏克里听到动静，气势汹汹地走了过来。把玛绮朵赶到一边后，用力地擦起了玛绮朵胳膊肘下的桌面。）

Makiatto...What are you doing?……你干什么啊？

SharkryBeing serious about cleaning~ Honestly, you're wasting flyers again, and Sharkry's pretty face is all crumped up... Oh, I see, Makiatto is jealous, right ♥认真清洁啊~真是的，玛绮朵怎么又在浪费传单，夏克里可爱的脸都被折到了……哦——玛绮朵是在嫉妒吧♥

Makiatto...What would I be jealous of?……我嫉妒你干什么？

BeepyBeepbeepbeep!哔哔哔！！

(An armor plate on Beepy's back slides open and a rubbish bin slowly emerges.)（小哔打开了背部的甲板，一个垃圾桶缓缓升起。）

(Sharkry reaches out and chucks the crumpled flyer into Beepy's bin.)（夏克里伸手，把皱巴巴的传单扔进小哔的垃圾桶。）

MakiattoAre you seriously going to keep this thing?你们还真打算留下这家伙？

SharkryBeepy's really useful and Manager asked Leva to turn a blind eye to it ♥小哔可是很有用的，而且店长也拜托莱娅睁一只眼闭一只眼了嘛♥

BeepyBeep—beepbeep!哔——哔哔！

(Sharkry shoos Makiatto away and forcefully scrubs the table once more.)（夏克里把玛绮朵赶开，再次猛擦玛绮朵胳膊肘下面的桌子。）

MakiattoHey, you already did that bit!喂，这里已经擦过了！

Sharkry...Oh. Then Sharkry will go help Centaureissi ♥……哦，那夏克里去帮桑朵莱希好啦♥

BeepyBeep—!哔——！

(Sharkry turns away, but Beepy runs circles around her, preventing Sharkry from going any further.)（夏克里刚转过身，小哔就围着她绕起圈子，让夏克里无法前进。）

(Makiatto watches in confusion at the strangely animated Doll and Dinergate.)（玛绮朵略显茫然地看着莫名忙碌的一人一兵蚁。）

Makiatto...What's with them? Weird.……到底怎么了？怪怪的。

SharkryAhem. Ah, I was just curious, but how did Makiatto know I was going to use fireworks in my show?咳、咳。 那个啊，就是说，玛绮朵是怎么知道我想要用烟花装点舞台的呀？

MakiattoIt was written on your flyer. "A firework-filled festive show awaits you"—wasn't that what you wrote?传单上写着啊。 “恢弘烟花装点节庆舞台，等您观赏”——这不是你自己写的？

SharkryOhhh... Well done, Makiatto. I can't believe you actually remembered that. So you were secretly keeping an eye on Sharkry after all ♥哦……真亏玛绮朵能记得，果然玛绮朵也在暗中关注着夏克里呢♥

MakiattoHuh?哈？

SharkrySay, what does Makiatto think about Sharkry's performance as a distraction?那，玛绮朵觉得，作为诱饵的夏克里，表现怎么样呀？

MakiattoW-what do you mean, what do I think... um, I guess you were decent enough... a little better than expected...什、什么怎么样……就，算是合格吧……比想象中好那么一点……

SharkryOho~ In other words, Makiatto's more or less acknowledged Sharkry then? Hmhm~ In that case, Sharkry will have to trust Makiatto a little then ♥哦哦~也就是说，玛绮朵多少有点承认夏克里了吧？ 嗯嗯~这样的话，夏克里也勉·强·信任一下玛绮朵吧♥

MakiattoYeah right, who needs your trust—谁需要你信任——

SpringfieldSharkry, the countertop is very clean. Go open the doors and let the wind in.夏克里，吧台已经非常干净了哦，去把门打开通通风吧。

SharkryKaaay—好——

(Springfield places a cup of hot coffee in front of Makiatto, who lifts her head and downs it in one gulp.)（春田把一杯咖啡放到了玛绮朵面前，玛绮朵仰起头，一饮而尽。）

(After seeing Makiatto's ears go red, Springfield gives her a knowing smile.)（看着玛绮朵发红的耳朵，春田露出了会心的笑容。）

(This little mission has ended with everyone safe and it seems the friction between her employees has been successfully worn down.)（这一次的作战安全落幕，员工们之间的小小摩擦，似乎也已经顺利调解。）

(If the future permits, perhaps she can tell the Commander about it—even if everyone had to leave Griffin due to unavoidable consequences, some things will never change.)（未来有机会的话，可以把这件事说给指挥官听呢——即便大家出于各种各样的无奈离开了格里芬，但有些东西，永远不会改变。）

(Be it Makiatto, Centaureissi... herself, or the newly-admitted Sharkry.)（玛绮朵也好，桑朵莱希也好……还有自己，和新加入的夏克里。）

(Zucchero will grow through its various setbacks and it will never disappoint the Commander.)（在波折中慢慢成长的方糖咖啡馆，一定不会让指挥官失望的。）

SpringfieldHehe.嗨呀。

MakiattoWhat's so funny?你笑什么？

SpringfieldIt's wonderful, Makiatto.太好了呢，玛绮朵。

Makiatto...I have no idea what you're talking about.……听不懂你在说什么。

(Elsewhere—)（另一边——）

(Sharkry and Centaureissi open the doors to the cafe, letting the wind in.)（夏克里和桑朵莱希把咖啡馆的大门打开，来给室内通风。）

(As she stands outside the cafe, Centaureissi looks back inside with a thoughtful expression on her face.)（站在店外的桑朵莱希，若有所思地回望着咖啡馆。）

Centaureissi...……

SharkryCentaureissi? Why are you spacing out?桑朵莱希？在发什么呆呀？

CentaureissiI just... I think I get it now.我只是……好像明白了。

(About "fighting" and about "life"...)（有关，“战斗”，与“生活”……）

CentaureissiThat it's not to truly walk away, but to make each attempt meaningful.不是要真的远离，而是要让每一次的投身都有意义。

(Centaureissi is still looking at the cafe.)（桑朵莱希仍然看着咖啡馆。）

(Thanks to their diligent cleaning, it now looks clean, warm, and bright.)（在几人的辛勤打扫下，咖啡馆看起来干净、温暖，又明亮。）

(When they meet Master again, this place... will become a source of strength for them.)（在与长官重逢时，这里……会成为长官的优秀助力。）

CentaureissiMiss Sharkry, I've decided. I won't run away anymore.夏克里小姐，我想，我不会再逃避了。

(Just then, a municipal broadcast rings out through the empty streets.)（此时，空荡荡的街上响起了城市广播。）

Municipal BroadcastDear citizens, your attention please. We will be broadcasting a notification: the curfew on CHE-02 is terminated, effective immediately. All blockades will be steadily taken down over the next two hours, Citizens may freely go outdoors and travel. Message repeats: the curfew...各位市民请注意，现在播放一则通知：CHE-02卫星城即刻起结束紧急管制，所有封锁将于2小时内陆续解除，市民们可自行调整生活及出行计划。重复一次：即日起，本市解除……

SharkryWait, did I hear that right? Centaureissi? Was the curfew lifted?我、我没听错吧……桑朵莱希？解除管制了？

CentaureissiYes, Miss Sharkry!是的，夏克里小姐。

SharkryWoohoo! This is great! The danger is over, and the cafe live can go on as normal! ♥ Centaureissi, this is super duper!哇啊——！太好啦！危机解除，店庆可以照常举办♥ 太好啦太好啦桑朵莱希！

CentaureissiBut our concert outfits...但是，演出服都已经……

Sharkry...Have been soaked in the seawater like pickles. And we only have a damaged head left from the mascot costume...……都已经在水里泡得像酸黄瓜一样了！玩偶服也只剩下一个残缺不全的脑袋……

SharkryHowever, the universal idol Sharkry won't give up here! Help me build up our supplies again, Centaureissi ♥但是，作为全能偶像的夏克里，才不可能在这里放弃呢！ 桑朵莱希要帮夏克里重新筹备哦♥

CentaureissiYes, I will help you.嗯，我会协助您的。

SharkryThere are only a few days until the cafe live. It'll be too late if I order a custom-made one from a tailor's... so it's time to show everyone the power of Sharkry's sewing skills!离店庆就剩没几天了，再去向裁缝店订购，一定来不及了……是时候让大家见识一下夏克里的缝纫技术啦！

(Sharkry's voice travels into the cafe and Springfield waves to them.)（夏克里的声音传到了店内，吧台附近的春田向两人招了招手。）

SpringfieldSay, since time is tight, why not let Makiatto help you out?既然时间紧急，不如让玛绮朵也来帮忙如何？

Makiatto...Don't talk nonsense!……你别乱说！

(Sharkry runs over to the counter and Centaureissi follows her inside.)（夏克里闻声跑到了吧台附近，桑朵莱希也跟着她走了进来。）

SharkryReally? For really? Hm... But Makiatto's about as graceful as an elephant, she might end up causing trouble instead~这样吗这样吗？ 唔……不过玛绮朵笨手笨脚的，说不定反而会添乱呢~

MakiattoPerfect. Count me out, then.那正好，别找我。

SharkryBuuuut Makiatto can help with the show ♥ After all, Makiatto was pretty cute in that mascot costume!但是玛绮朵可以帮忙表演♥ 毕竟穿着玩偶服的时候，玛绮朵还挺可爱的呢！

MakiattoA-as if! I'll never wear such a dorky outfit again!谁、谁管你啊！我才不会再穿那种蠢衣服！

SharkryTeehee, Makiatto secretly wants to join the concert, right? But Makiatto's too shy! Good thing Sharkry understands!嘻嘻，玛绮朵其实很想参加吧，只是太害羞了，夏克里都明白哦！

MakiattoWhat do you know—Springfield! Keep your employees in line!你明白什么——春田！管束一下你的员工！

SpringfieldOh my, a call from Leva...啊呀，刚好莱娅有通讯来呢……

SharkryCome to the kitchen with me~ Lend me a hand, Centaureissi!到准备室里来吧~桑朵莱希，麻烦您也来帮忙哦！

CentaureissiYes, Miss Sharkry.好的，夏克里小姐。

MakiattoStop! Don't touch—住手！别拉我——

SpringfieldDon't forget to prepare to open the cafe, yes?别忘了开店的准备哦？

SharkryGot it ♥知道啦♥

(In the corner, Springfield takes the call and smiles as Sharkry and Centaureissi drag Makiatto into the kitchen.)（角落里，春田一边接起通讯，一边笑眯眯地看着玛绮朵被桑朵莱希和夏克里拖进准备室。）

LevaSounds pretty lively on your end.你那边挺热闹的嘛~

SpringfieldThe curfew has been lifted, so everyone's in a good mood.紧急管制取消了，大家心情都不错。

LevaThanks for that. I knew getting Springfield to help was the right choice.这次真是多谢啦，果然，找春田帮忙是正确的~

SpringfieldIt was all thanks to everyone's hard work.是大家的功劳哦。

Leva(Sigh) You all get along so well.哎~你们关系真好呢。

LevaKalina managed to cover you guys up on Public Security's side by saying you were our collaborators. However, a lot of the criminals saw your faces. They might have accomplices who haven't been caught yet; be careful if they decide to take revenge. Feel free to contact us if you need help.治安部门那边，格琳以你们是我们的协助者这种说辞掩饰过去了。不过，也有不少犯人看到了你们的脸。不知道他们还有没有没被抓获的残党，你们要小心他们的打击报复行为。如果需要帮忙，随时联系我。

SpringfieldYes, I will...嗯，我会注意的……

Makiatto—Stoppit!——你给我住手！

SharkryAyaya~ Don't be so shy—啊呀呀~不要这么害羞嘛——

(A shouted snatch of argument interrupts their call. Springfield exits the cafe, terminal in hand, and turns the sign on the door reading "CLOSED" to "OPEN".)（突如其来的吵闹声打断了两人的通讯。春田握着终端走出了咖啡馆，把悬挂在门上的门牌从“CLOSE”翻到了“OPEN”。）

(In a few more days, the cafe live will begin.)（还有几天，店庆活动就要开始了。）

(As she watches the streets start to fill with life again and the clear blue sky, she smiles.)（看着逐渐热闹起来的街道，以及放晴的天空，她笑了起来。）

SpringfieldLooks like today... will be another lovely day.今天……也是个好天气呢。

(I hope this sunny weather will last forever.)（希望这份晴朗能一直持续。）

(Because sunshine and celebrations are a match made in heaven.)（阳光与庆典，再匹配不过。）
