Anniversary Invitation 周年请柬

The Oasis, Rest Area绿洲，休息区。

LunaLet me see... the three corresponding cards are the Star, the Hermit, and Justice...让我看看……对应的三张牌分别是星星，隐者以及正义……

LunaHehe, you can confidently go talk to Max! She might not be angry at all anymore.呵呵，你就放心去向麦克斯搭话吧！或许她已经没有在生气了哦。

TaischThank you, Miss Luna. Alright, I will go speak to her now...月光小姐，谢谢你的占卜。嗯唔，我这就去找她......

LunaI'll be sure to visit. Do your best with talking to Max!嗯，下次我会去拜访的。和麦克斯的事情要加油哦！

LunaPhew... next, please!呼……下一位需要占卜的客人请上前！

LunaP-Professor! Huh?教、教授！嗯？

ProfessorHow have you been, Luna? Looks like you've adjusted quite well to the Oasis.最近如何，月光？看你的样子已经习惯绿洲的生活了？

LunaHehe, I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but I've adjusted to life here thanks to Yelena's help.呵呵，虽然一开始手忙脚乱，但是在叶莲娜的帮助下已经逐渐适应这里的生活了。

LunaAs you can see, I've had a lot of clients here lately. My days have been quite busy, to say the least.就像你看到的一样，最近这段时间越来越多的客人来找我占卜，每天都过得很忙碌呢。

ProfessorThat makes me happy to hear. Don't push yourself too hard, though.那样我就放心了，不过不要勉强自己啊。

LunaYes yes, I know~嗯嗯，我知道啦。

LunaDid you have need of me for something? Ah, are you here for fortune telling?你这次来找我是有什么事吗？啊，难道说是想找我占卜？

ProfessorYeah.嗯。

ProfessorI wanted to ask... about the future of the Oasis.我想请你占卜一下，绿洲的未来。

Behind the bar not far away, two figures strain their ears.不远处的吧台后，两个身影正竖起耳朵偷听。

Erika...Did you hear what they said? Ask about what?......你前面有听清们的话吗？是要占卜什么？

YelenaMm... they were asking about the Oasis' future.嗯……说要占卜绿洲的未来。

Klak—(sound of a round being chambered)咔嗒——(上膛声)

ErikaThe wicked shall be ensnared by their sins and entwined by them, as if bound by the strongest chains.恶人必被自己的罪孽捉住，他必被自己的罪恶如绳索缠绕。

YelenaWhat are you doing?你这是要干嘛？

ErikaPut a few bullets in this imposter in front of me, and then make them repent on their knees.送眼前的冒牌货几发子弹，然后让跪下忏悔。

ErikaI only came here to stave off boredom, but it seems that I haven't made the trip for nothing.本来来这里找你只是想来缓解下无聊，没想到还有意外收获。

YelenaHold on! Don't be so hasty!等一下！先别冲动！

LunaThe Oasis' future... I see.绿洲的未来吗……好的，我知道了。

LunaTo predict the future, one must understand the past.想要占卜未来，必须知晓过去。

LunaPlease cleanse your thoughts, concentrate on your memories, and follow me slowly.请你接下来清空思绪，将注意力集中在回忆上，慢慢跟随我的引导。

LunaIn the past year, we've made a lot of happy memories...在过去的一年里，我们留下了许多快乐的回忆……

"Nian"'s lights finally extinguish on the stage, frozen in time at the moment of the fireworks launch. Those fireworks continue to blossom in the air, illuminating everyone's face.“年”在舞台上熄灭了灯光，定格在了焰火升空瞬间，而烟花依旧不断地在空中绽放，照亮了众人的脸。

AkiSo... does that count as defeating it?这……算是终于打败它了吗？

KuroNever thought that we'd have such a spectacular ending to all these battles today. Viewer count must've popped off...没想到还有这么一场精彩的演出为战斗收尾，今天直播的热度绝对爆了……

FlorenceOne surprise after the other tonight, it seems.呼呼，今夜的惊喜真是接二连三呢。

JiangyuWow...好美呀……

LunaEven if we've endured endless strife...虽然也经历了无比艰难的斗争……

PersicariaYou have no right to seal their fate.你没有资格定夺他的命运。

Fragments scatter all around as the roof of the Reverse Tower breaks open. Sunlight shines in, and a figure descends against the light.碎片纷扬，逆巴比伦塔的穹顶破开，阳光刺入，一道身影逆光而来。

晨星Who are you?你是谁？

PersicariaSorry I'm late, Professor.对不起，我来晚了，教授。

LunaBut the dreary clouds shall scatter in time, and the Oasis' future is filled with light.但是乌云终将散去，绿洲的未来将会是一片光明。

ProfessorIs that what the fortunes tell you?这是占卜得出的结果吗？

LunaNo, this is a future that will come to pass because of your navigation, Professor. Wouldn't you agree?不，这是将由教授引导切实会发生的未来。你不这么认为吗？

ProfessorThank you, Luna. This is for you.谢谢你的占卜，月光。这个给你。

LunaEh? This is... an invitation to the Anniversary Festival?诶？这个是……周年庆典的邀请函？

LunaIt'll be my first time participating in one of the Oasis' Anniversaries... should I do anything for it? Should I tell fortunes? But the last time I did that in front of everyone... gah...我还是第一次参加绿洲的周年庆典……我该做些什么吗？要我占卜吗？但是上一次我在大家面前占卜……呜……

LunaWhat should I prepare this time? A ceremonial sword... tarot cards, or the crystal ball... can I just take everything?这一次要带什么好？仪式剑……塔罗牌还是水晶球……要不全部都带上？

ProfessorRelax, Luna. You don't have to do anything but enjoy the festivities.冷静一点，月光。你什么都不用做，只需要享受庆典就好。

ProfessorWell, I'll be off. I've got some other things to do.那我还有事，先走了。

LunaW-What do I do? Ah... I should just divine what I need to bring on the day... but what do I use for that?怎、怎么办！啊……干脆用占卜一下我要带什么……但是要用什么东西占卜好？

Erika...How trite.……无聊的情节。

YelenaReally? I've found it entertaining enough.是吗？我倒是看得挺满足的。

LunaEh? Erika? Yelena? What are you doing here?诶？爱莉卡？叶莲娜？你们怎么会在这里？

LunaOh, whatever. Ahhhhhh, I feel like I'm going to overload. W-what am I meant to do?先不说这个。啊啊啊啊，感觉我的心智要过载了，我、我该怎么办才好？

ErikaOccasions such as celebrations are not to my taste. I will be happy enough to peruse my scriptures within the dorms.庆典之类的场合并不适合我，我只要在宿舍里阅读圣典即可。

YelenaThat won't do, Erika. This is an important affair that everyone must be in attendance for.不行哦爱莉卡。这是很重要的事情，每个人都要参加。

Erika...Tch.……嘁。

YelenaAs for you, Luna... about these doubts of yours, I've already foreseen what lies in wait for you.至于月光……关于你的这份困扰，我已经帮你占卜过了哦。

YelenaWorry not, the stars will guide your way~放心吧，星星会为你指引方向的~

NascitaAn opening! Hyah!有破绽！嘿！

JiangyuAh!呜！

NascitaKuku, not bad at all, but you'll need more than mere brute strength to defeat me!哼哼，不错的身手！但是只靠蛮力是无法打败我的！

NascitaHow about it? Can you keep up with my speed?怎么样，你的反应可以跟上我的速度吗？

JiangyuGah... need to be faster, more precise!呜……还要更快，更准才行！

ProfessorNot going to give her some guidance?你不去指导一下她吗？

MagnhildaHmph... don't underestimate her. She's already seen through that attack, and won't fall for it again.哼......不要小瞧绛雨。刚刚的招式她已经识破，不会再中第二次。

MagnhildaOh? Professor?嗯？教授？

NascitaProfessor?教授？

JiangyuTake this!有破绽！

NascitaWait, wait, just a second!等等等等！

JiangyuEhehe, sorry, Nascita. Does it still hurt?诶嘿嘿，对不起啦娜希塔，你还痛不痛啊？

NascitaBah, the Mysterious Warrior is not so easily defeated... that's how it's supposed to go, but I'd really appreciate a bit of a break.哼，异相战士才不会被这样轻易打败......唔，虽然话是这么说，但还是让我先缓一会吧。

NascitaSpeaking of it, Professor, what business did you have with us?话说回来教授，你来找我们是有什么事吗？

ProfessorI'm here to give you this.我是来给你们送这个的。

JiangyuHuh? An invitation to the festivities!嗯？是庆典的邀请函啊！

MagnhildaI see, so it's that time again...原来如此，又到这个时间了吗……

JiangyuProf! Will there be tons of yummy food there?教授教授！庆典上会有很多~很多的好吃的吗？

ProfessorYeah, of course. The celebrations last time were lively like you couldn't believe.嗯，会有的。去年的庆典可是很热闹的。

NascitaHeheh! Leave it to me to make the climax as brilliant as possible!哼哼！宴会的高潮就交由我来点燃吧！

NascitaI'm going to break past my limits this time! Give to everyone the best Mysterious...这次要突破极限！贡献一场最完美的异相……

DaiyanDon't be so lifeless, everyone. She would not wish to see you like this.不能露出这样消沉的表情呢，各位。她不会想要看到的。

JiangyuSis! When'd you get here?老姐！你什么时候来的？

DaiyanIt's been a while, everyone. I've already heard about the celebrations.久疏问候，各位。周年庆典的事情我已经听说了。

DaiyanSeeing as we are attending a formal event, we must dress appropriately for the occasion. Jiangyu, let's go choose a suitable gown.既然要出席庆典，那么就不能失了礼数。绛雨，我们去挑选一套礼服吧。

JiangyuA gown? You mean that light and floaty thing that ties you all up when you put it on?礼服？就是那个轻飘飘，穿上去不方便活动的衣服？

DaiyanYes, that very thing. We shall have to arrange some heels for you... and set your table manners in order, too.嗯，还得给你准备高跟鞋……顺便得调整一下你的用餐礼仪才行。

JiangyuP-Professor, perhaps it's for the better that I don't attend the event...教、教授，要不我参加宴会的事情还是算了吧......

DaiyanThat won't do. Then, everyone, we shall see you this evening.不行哦。那么各位，还有教授，晚宴见。

JiangyuCrap... Nascita, Magnhilda, Professor! H-Help...呜……娜希塔，玛吉西尔达，教授！救、救命……

Magnhilda...Apologies.……抱歉了。

NascitaI see now... even the mightiest warrior has their weaknesses...再强的战士也会有弱点……吗……

ProfessorHubble, this is an invitation to the Anniversary Festival. I hope you'll accept it.赫波，这是周年庆典的邀请函，希望你能收下。

ProfessorHm? What is it, Hubble?嗯？怎么了赫波？

ProfessorYou're staring at me... Is there something on my face?一直盯着我看……是我的脸上有什么奇怪的东西吗？

HubbleHehe... It's nothing, I must be too tired.呵呵呵......没什么，应该是我太累了吧。

ProfessorThe Oasis has been facing a shortage on operands lately, so we're unable to provide the observatory with all the operands it needs at the moment... My apologies if it impedes your research.最近绿洲的算量紧缺，所以暂时无法给天文台提供充裕的算量……可能会对你的研究有一部分影响。

ProfessorI've spoken with Antonina, normal supply should be restored in a few days.我已经和安冬妮娜沟通过了，过几天就可以恢复正常的供给了。

HubbleThe Oasis has more use for operands elsewhere. Thank you for telling me.嗯，现在绿洲有更多的地方需要算量。谢谢你。

ProfessorHm? What do you mean?嗯？什么意思？

HubbleI'm just reflecting on how time seems to slip by so incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, another Anniversary is already upon us.我只是在想时间过得好快，一转眼又到了周年庆典的时候啊。

ProfessorYeah. Whether it's the Oasis itself or everyone here, we've all been through a lot.是啊。无论是绿洲，还是大家，在这一年都经历了很多。

Professor...Hubble, do you think it's an appropriate time for celebrations?……赫波，你觉得现在举行庆典是一个合适的时间吗？

HubbleEven as the firmament is concealed and overcast, the countless stars will rise all the same.即使天穹被乌云遮蔽，万千星辰依然会选择升起。

HubbleWhen the veil dissipates, this radiant light shall deliver hope unto this land once more.待阴霾散去之时，这份银光将重新为大地带来希望。

HubbleAll we must do is tell people that no matter what happens, the stars will always shine above the Oasis.我们所需要做的就是告诉大家，无论发生什么，星星依然会照常绿洲。

ProfessorThank you, Hubble.谢谢你的鼓励，赫波。

ProfessorI still have other invitations to give out, so I'll be off for now.那我还有其他邀请函要派送，就先离开了。

Hubble...Do you remember the last time we spoke face-to-face like this?……上次像这样面对面交谈，您还记得是什么时候吗？

ProfessorSorry, can't say I do. I've been busy with work.抱歉。最近工作繁忙，我已经记不清了。

HubbleI see...这样啊……

ProfessorHm? Were you saying something?嗯？你刚刚有说什么吗？

HubbleJust talking to myself. Nothing important.只是我在自言自语，不是什么重要的事。

HubbleDon't push yourself too hard. You've really put too much pressure on yourself recently.不要勉强自己，最近这段时间，你给自己的压力实在太大了。

Hubble...No matter what, the stars will always be there for you.……无论发生什么，星星都会一直存在。

ProfessorI appreciate it, Hubble.......谢谢你的鼓励，赫波。

ProfessorI'll see you tonight.我们宴会上见。

YelenaLet's leave it to Luna for now. All we have to do is observe.交给月光吧，我们只要静静地看着就好。

TaischPlease come to the zoo sometime, Miss Luna. Miss Rabbit and Mr. Arctic Fox would be very happy to see you.下一次，也请月光小姐来动物园。兔子小姐和北极狐先生都很欢迎月光小姐的。

Professor...You're right. I believe that the Oasis' future will be one of hope.……你说的对，我相信绿洲的未来将会是一片光明。

The Professor leaves Luna with those words as she frantically pulls out various implements, placing them on her table.教授言毕起身离开了占卜屋，而月光则是翻出了各种道具摆满了桌子。

Magnhilda turns around, Jiangyu's fate already apparent to her.玛吉西尔达背过身，似乎已经猜到了绛雨的结局。

As we all look on, Daiyan hauls Jiangyu off to the Commercial District with a smile on her face.在我们一行人的目送之下，黛烟微笑着把绛雨拖向了商业街。

HubbleHehehe, it really is something...呵呵呵，真的非常有趣呢……

Moon and Starshine Intertwined 星月交辉

The Oasis, Observatory.绿洲，天文台。

LunaHuff... huff... Never thought that the observatory would be this high up...呼……呼……没想到天文台居然在这么高的位置……

LunaThe stars will guide the way... and this ought to be the place closest to the stars.星星会指引方向……而绿洲最接近星星的地方应该就是这里了吧。

Luna stands atop the observatory's roof, looking upwards.月光站在天文台的屋顶，仰起头望向星空。

LunaDoesn't seem to be a lot of stars today...今天感觉星星不是很多啊……

LunaAccording to the signs... I've picked out a most fitting outfit, with accessories to match... and the portents of the day of the event have been revealed as well.根据占卜……我已经选择了最合适的礼服，选择了最合适的装饰……庆典那天的运势也已经占卜完毕。

LunaAhh... so why is my neural cloud still feel like it's spinning so quickly?呜……但是为啥我的心智运转得还是这么快啊！

Luna slaps herself lightly, as if pumping herself up.月光伸出手拍了拍自己的脸颊，仿佛是给自己打气一般。

LunaGet it together, Luna! Can't let this go down like the first time you told a fortune here...振作月光，振作！绝对不能像第一次在绿洲占卜的时候一样……

LunaThere's not a whole lot of stars, but I can feel inspiration lurking nearby...虽然星星不多，但是可以感受到灵感的位置就在附近……

Luna surveys her surroundings, her gaze sweeping across every corner of the observatory before finally meeting my eyes.月光环顾四周，目光扫过了天文台的每一个角落，最终对上了我的视线。

LunaEhhhh?! P-Professor? Why are you here?诶诶诶？！教、教授？！你为什么会在这里？

ProfessorI just happened to have some business here...我正好来这里有事……

Before I could finish my response, the lights in the observatory began to extinguish one by one.还未等我回复完月光的话语，天文台上的灯光一盏盏熄灭。

??Welcome, both of you, to the observatory. The night sky's performance is about to begin.欢迎两位来到天文台，夜空的表演就要开始了。

LunaHuh? What do you...嗯？什么意……思……

We follow the source of the voice as a star trails across the sky.我们顺着声音的方向看去，恰好有颗星星划过天边。

LunaA shooting star...是流星……

One, two, three... as if choreographed, the stars ignite one by one, creating a breathtaking spectacle.一颗，两颗，三颗……星星们就像是约定好了那样，在盛夜中点点绽放，呈现出华丽的表演。

We admire the exquisite sight until the last star fades away.我们屏息欣赏着这份美丽，直到最后一颗星星落下。

HubbleWas that display of the stars I prepared to your liking?这份为周年庆典而准备的星星的招待，二位还满意吗？

As the shooting stars gracefully fade into the horizon, Hubble emerges, taking a deep bow.随着流星在天际消失，赫波从天文台中走出深深地朝着我们鞠了一躬。

HubbleHehe, as long as you like it, Professor. What do you think, Luna?呵呵，教授喜欢就好。月光觉得呢？

Never imagined that the introduction ceremony would be this grand.没想到周年庆典的开头会如此华丽。

I hope those stars won't leave any meteorite craters.希望星星不会在绿洲留下陨石坑。

HubbleHehe, rest easy, Professor. They are nothing more than projections, with no real mass. What do you think, Luna?呵呵，请教授放心，这些只是投影而已，本身并没有质量。月光觉得呢？

LunaThey were spectacular! It's the first time I've seen so many shooting stars.真是太漂亮了！我还是第一次看到这么多流星！

LunaDid you specifically arrange these, Hubble? The timing seems somewhat uncanny...不过，这些流星是赫波特意安排的吗？总觉得时机有点太巧妙了……

HubbleThe stars gave me their answer.星星告诉了我答案。

LunaEh? Could it be that you are adept at fortune-telling as well, Hubble? Now that I think about it, astrology and fortune telling are intrinsically intertwined...嗯？难道赫波也会占卜……这么说起来占星术和天文学有着密不可分的联系……

HubbleHehe, you're looking at the Holographic Star Projector Fresnel and I made.呵呵呵，这其实是我和菲涅尔一起制作的全息星空投影仪。

Hubble presents a small object in her hand that emits streams of light, converging to form stars in the skies above.赫波手中捧着一个小巧的设备，设备上射出一道光束在天空凝聚成了星星。

One of the stars among them seems to flicker and waver, as if it's losing its hold in the sky.不过其中一颗星星却有一些摇摆，似乎有点摇摇欲坠。

LunaWoah, it's going to fall!哇啊，要掉下来了！

The stars in the sky begin to move and realign themselves, and the flickering star soon finds its proper place in the constellation.然而天上的星星们却自由的开始旋转，原本摇摇欲坠的星星也在旋转之中回到了队伍之中。

HubbleThe stars exert their mutual gravitational pull, maintaining the system's stability.星星之间，依靠引力相互吸引相互扶持。

HubbleEven if the forces are thrown out of balance for a moment, the stars will adjust and pull each other into new orbits.即使是一瞬间的波动，也会因为星星们的引力再一次相互吸引在新的轨道上运转。

HubbleHehe, you must be the great star at the center of it all, then.呵呵呵，那教授必定是中心的那一刻恒星。

HubbleHm, if that novel were to have a name... I think I'd call it "Oasis".呵呵呵，如果这本小说有名字……我想叫它《绿洲》。

Just like us at the Oasis.就像绿洲的我们一样……

Is a romantic description like that something I might find in a novel of yours?这浪漫的解释，又是你写的小说中的内容？

LunaEven if the forces are thrown out of balance for a moment, the stars will adjust and pull each other into new orbits...即使是一瞬间的波动，也会因为星星们的引力再一次相互吸引在新的轨道上运转……

As if suddenly remembering something, Luna flashes a knowing smile.似乎是回忆起了什么，月光露出了会心的一笑。

LunaSounds about right to me... so long as it's here, even if that sort of thing happens... I...嘿嘿嘿，说得也是……只要在这里，就算再发生那样的事情……我也……

Luna draws three rune stones from a pouch she carries, her gaze shifting towards me.月光从随身的袋子里取出了三枚符文石，然后看向了我。

LunaHehe, so that's what's going on... let's test it out!哼哼，原来如此……验证一下吧！

LunaProfessor, Professor! Do our outfits live up to your expectations for what you envisioned for the anniversary?教授教授！我和赫波的礼服符合你对周年庆典的期待吗？

The pair, adorned in their extraordinary apparel, captivate my gaze, their elegance undiminished even by the splendor of the night sky, like a living constellation of moon and stars.身着精美礼服的二人拥有将目光夺去的魔力，璀璨绚烂的夜空更是为这份美丽平添几分，仿佛真正的月亮和星星一般。

ProfessorYeah, fits you two perfectly.嗯，非常适合你们。

LunaEhehe... I knew it'd be nicer to hear it from the source than as a divination result!嘿嘿嘿……比起占卜的结果，听到教授亲口夸奖果然更开心！

LunaThank you, Professor! And you too, Hubble!谢谢你教授！也谢谢你啦，赫波！

HubbleHehe, looks like Luna's already moved past her doubts...呵呵呵，看来月光已经解开了自己的疑惑了……

Watching as Luna takes her leave, humming a tune to herself, Hubble cannot help but smile.看着月光哼着小曲离开的样子，赫波不由得微微一笑。

ProfessorConfidence on her face suits her far better.还是那种自信满满的表情更适合她。

Hubble...Thoughtful as always, Professor.……教授还是一如既往的体贴。

ProfessorNever would have guessed you could orchestrate such a spectacle on cue. Were you guided by the stars as well?不过没想到你能这么快就准备好这样一场演出，难道说你也是被星星指引了吗？

HubbleWell... you wouldn't be wrong in saying that.呵呵呵……这么说也没有错呢。

Hubble shows me a tarot card hidden in her lap. On it was number 17, the Star.赫波从怀中拿出一张塔罗牌，上面正是编号17星星。

ProfessorAnother one of Yelena's works, I see. I must thank her on Luna's behalf later.果然是叶莲娜的安排吗，不愧是她。之后也得替月光好好感谢一下她呢。

HubblePerhaps Luna will realize it herself soon enough.或许再过一会儿月光自己就会意识到了。

HubbleIt is a shame, though. I had hoped to be under this night sky with you and you alone, Professor... But I've still yet to perfect it, and the ambiance is still somewhat lacking.不过真遗憾，原本我还希望能够单独和教授一起共享这一片星空……可惜现在没有能够调试到最完美的状态，氛围感也还有些欠缺。

Hubble lightly caresses the projector in her hand, sighing with regret.赫波轻轻的抚摸着手中的投影仪，有些遗憾地叹了一口气。

ProfessorYou say that, but to me it's more than perfect... I apologize for any inconvenience caused by asking you to prepare it in advance.虽然你这么说，但是我觉得这个星空已经很完美了……不过，要你提前准备好确实有些辜负你一片心意。

HubbleIf you truly feel that way, Professor... then perhaps you'd like to accompany me somewhere after the celebrations?教授如果感到抱歉的话……那作为补偿授在庆典后陪我去一个地方如何。

Hubble's eyes flirt with a hint of playfulness, and I answer her with a smiling nod.赫波有些俏皮地朝着我眨了眨眼睛，看着她的表情我笑着点了点头。

ProfessorI'd be more than happy to.嗯，我很乐意。

HubbleHehe, I suppose that settles that... Though, Professor. I imagine you are here to do more than discuss Luna's matters.呵呵呵，这样这件事情就告一段落了……不过，教授来到我这里不仅仅是要商量月光的事情吧。

ProfessorYou see right through me. Yeah, there's also some things with the anniversary that must be sorted.全部都被你看穿了啊。没错，另一个目的是周年庆典的事情。

HubbleI think it's not just me. Chances are that Luna and the rest have figured it out too.我想不仅仅是我，月光她们大概也已经意识到了吧。

HubbleBut to my mind... she must have reasons for what she does.但是我认为……她这么做是有她自己的想法的。

ProfessorI'm inclined to agree. I'll have to ask you to keep this secret for a bit, Hubble.哈哈哈，我也这么认为。所以这一段时间就先拜托赫波你保密一下吧。

HubbleHehe, no problem.呵呵呵，了解了。

Onwards, Party Girl! 晚宴苦短，少女前进吧！

????Jiangyu? Are you sure you're alright?绛雨？你真的没有问题吗？

??I-I'm fine! Just need a bit of practice... left... r-right, woah...没、没问题！稍微练习一下……左脚……右、右脚……哇啊……

From the Rest Area came the sound of heavy objects colliding with one another.休息区之中，传来了一阵阵重物碰撞的声音。

The sounds alone were enough for me to identify the person behind the door, but I knock nonetheless.虽然从声音上，我已经可以确认是谁在休息区，但是我还是敲了敲门。

????Hm? Who is it?嗯？是谁？

ProfessorKsenia, are you there?科谢尼娅，你在吗？

KseniaAh, Professor! Welcome!啊，是教授！欢迎光临！

??P-Professor?! Hang on, I'll be right there!教、教授？！等一下我这就来开门！

KseniaCalm down, Jiangyu!绛雨，冷静一点！

KseniaDon't just go and stand up, it's dangerous!现在站起来的话会很危险！

ProfessorHuh? Ahhhh, you're going to fall—啊？啊啊啊啊，要摔倒了——

As the door opens, before I can even utter a word, a familiar figure loses their balance and crashes into me.门刚刚推开，还没等我反应过来，一个熟悉的身影就摇摇晃晃扑到我的怀里。

ProfessorJiangyu? You alright?绛雨？你没事吧？

JiangyuEhehe... thanks, Prof, I'm fine!诶嘿嘿……谢谢教授，我没事！

JiangyuGah... but these shoddy floaty shoes really are awful...呜……但是这种轻飘飘又不稳定的鞋子真的很难受啊。

Never thought that our big martial arts star would have a day of falling over like this.看来我们的武打明星也有会有摔倒的一天啊。

I seem to remember you starring in movies where you wore heels, no?我记得在电影中，绛雨你也经常会穿着高跟鞋拍戏啊？

Jiangyu rubs her fingers in embarrassment, trying to smooth over some of her awkwardness.绛雨有些不好意思地揉搓着手指试图掩饰自己的尴尬。

JiangyuAhaha, it'd be fine if all I had to do was walk normally...啊哈哈，如果只是正常的走路其实还好……

JiangyuBut Sis, she... she wants me to learn how to walk "properly", and mentioned something about being... cultured and refined?但是老姐她……老姐她要求我端正走路的仪态……还说什么要体现温文……什么雅来着？

KseniaCultured and refined...是温文尔雅啦……

I follow Jiangyu's sight downwards to find a delicate pair of heels on her feet.我顺着绛雨的目光向下，这才注意到她脚上的精致高跟鞋。

JiangyuIt's too damn difficult to walk with such thin heels! It'd be easier to walk on stilts!穿着这么细的高跟鞋走路实在是太难了！踩高跷都比这要容易！

JiangyuI've got it! I'll just chuck these, and go to the event barefoot! Or slip in after it's already begun!对了！干脆不穿它就这样光着脚去参加庆典吧！或者干脆等庆典开始之后再偷偷溜进去好了！

KseniaWhere did the Jiangyu that snuck all the way here to practice go?那个偷偷跑到我这里练习的绛雨哪里去了？

ProfessorAre you going to give up just like this?就这样放弃了吗？

JiangyuUwah... I'll give it another go. I can't embarrass Sis and the Professor like this!啊呜……我还是继续努力一下吧。不能给老姐还有教授丢脸！

Jiangyu straightens her back, slowly taking a step forward.绛雨挺直了腰板，缓缓向前迈出了一步。

KseniaThat's the way. You went to the trouble of putting on such a nice outfit, after all.这才对嘛，难得绛雨换上了这么漂亮的礼服。

KseniaJiangyu, shift your weight onto the back of the heel. Keep your knees straight and maintain your balance.绛雨，走路的时候要注意将重心放在脚后跟哦，膝盖要伸直，保证全身的平衡。

With Ksenia's guidance, Jiangyu slowly inches forward.按照科谢尼娅的指示，绛雨缓缓地向前迈进。

JiangyuOhhh! I think I'm getting the feel of it!哦哦哦！我好像找到感觉了！

KseniaDo make sure to shift your center of gravity towards your toes when you're going up the stairs, though. Otherwise, you might end up having an intimate meeting with the floor.不过上楼梯的时候要注意把重心转移到脚尖哦。否则会摔得很惨的。

ProfessorYou seem familiar with this whole "wearing heels" business.看来科谢尼娅对高跟鞋非常熟悉呢。

KseniaHehe, I'm the best waitress in the Oasis! This level of skill is only natural... huh? Jiangyu, what's wrong?嘿嘿，我可是绿洲最佳服务员！这种程度理所当然的……嗯？绛雨，怎么了？

JiangyuMaster! Teach me the way of the heels!师傅！我想学驾驭高跟鞋的技巧！

Jiangyu takes a few exaggerated strides towards Ksenia, bowing deeply with one fist cupped in her other hand.绛雨夸张地跨步来到科谢尼娅的面前，双手抱拳。

KseniaHuh? Ehhhhh?诶？诶诶诶诶？

KseniaBut I still have to help with the celebrations' arrangements...但是我还要准备周年庆典的布置……

JiangyuI can help you with that!我会一起帮忙的！

KseniaWell...这个……

Ksenia casts a furtive glance in my direction.科谢尼娅偷偷朝我看了一眼。

ProfessorKsenia, there's still some time before the Anniversary celebrations begin. Would you mind teaching her?科谢尼娅，周年庆典还有一段时间，你就教教绛雨吧。

KseniaWell, I guess it can't be helped. I had hoped to save my big surprise for everyone on the day of the celebration.唉，真是没有办法，本来还想在周年庆典上给大家一个惊喜。

KseniaSince Jiangyu is making such a heartfelt request, I suppose I'll share my secrets with you out of the goodness of my heart!既然绛雨这么恳求我，那我就大发慈悲地教给绛雨你我的秘诀吧！

Ksenia turns on her heel and disappears into the employee area of the Rest Area, quickly reemerging before us in a new outfit.科谢尼娅反身走进了休息区的后厨，不会一会儿就用全新的装扮来到了我们的面前。

Jiangyu begins to imitate Ksenia, moving forward with some grace and style.绛雨开始模仿科谢尼娅的动作，有模有样地迈开了步子。

The formerly stumbling girl begins to grow more familiar with the motions, her steps becoming more and more ladylike.原本还踉踉跄跄的少女，动作慢慢熟练，逐渐有了一种淑女的气质。

KseniaThat's it, she's getting the essence of it! Time for the advanced lessons, then!就是这样，绛雨已经开始逐渐掌握要领了！接下来就是进阶课程了！

KseniaHold on to that feeling you've got. Put your right hand forward.保持感觉，然后将右手向前递出。

KseniaThen give them your best smile, and a little implication by the way of a look...然后用笑容，和真挚的眼神暗示……

JiangyuThe most generous of tips... huh?!用左手拿走小费……嗯？！

KseniaHeheh. That's my secret weapon. Impeccable manners, the finest service, the most confident smile.哼哼哼，这就是我的秘密武器，完美的礼仪，最棒的服务，以及自信的笑容。

KseniaHehe, a lot has happened today, you know.嘿嘿嘿，因为今天真的发生了很多事呢。

KseniaBut no matter what came our way, good or bad, we've all done our very best this year.但是不论是好事还是坏事……大家都努力地度过了这一年。

JiangyuI see Ksenia's gone above and beyond... alright... I must redouble my efforts too!科谢尼娅居然想了这么多……嗯……我也要继续努力！

Jiangyu stands upright again, her steps continuing with renewed purpose. She dashes through the small Rest Area, a spring in her step.绛雨重新站起身，再一次迈开了步伐。在狭小的休息区健步如飞地行走着。

ProfessorLooks like there's nothing to worry about over here... Oh right, here are your invites.看来这一边也不用担心了……对了，这是你们的邀请函哦。

No matter the circumstances, everyone is enjoying this precious little time to relax and unwind in their own ways.不管怎样，大家都尽情地享受着这难得的时光，放松自己。

I watch over the entire scene from a corner of the banquet hall, Persicaria at my side.我和帕斯卡静静待在宴会的角落注视着这一切。

ProfessorPersicaria, thank you for all your hard work on this recently.帕斯卡，这段时间宴会的准备工作辛苦你了。

ProfessorDidn't think we would have this many attendees.没想到会有这么多人来参加宴会。

PersicariaThese are the fruits of everyone's labor.这都是大家一起努力的结果。

HubbleGood evening, Professor, Persicaria.教授，帕斯卡，晚上好。

ProfessorAh, Hubble. Did the banquet arrangements live up to your expectations?是赫波啊。怎么样，晚宴有达到你的预期吗？

HubbleIt was truly a wonderful banquet. Thank you, Professor, for all your hard work.真是一场非常不错的晚宴，辛苦教授这段时间的精心准备了。

ProfessorNo, most of the credit should go to Persicaria. She shouldered no small portion of the work on my behalf, so she's the one who really deserves the thanks.不，这些其实大部分都是帕斯卡的功劳，她替我分担了很多工作，要感谢的人是她才对。

HubbleI see.原来如此。

HubbleBut, wasn't the fact that you personally distributed the invitations the key factor in tonight's success?但是，您亲自派送邀请函这件事也是推动这次晚宴成功的必要因素吧？

ProfessorPersonally distributed...?你是说亲自派送邀请函吗……

PersicariaProfessor, that was!教授，那个是！

ProfessorExactly, I thought as much. That was actually one of Persicaria's ideas. Impressive, right?没错，我也是这么认为的。这可是帕斯卡想到的点子哦，很不错吧？

HubbleEveryone was delighted with the invitations. That's exactly the reason why so many Dolls were very grateful to Persicaria.大家都对于邀请函的事情感到高兴。正因如此，许多人形都非常感谢帕斯卡呢。

HubbleIt was thanks to the Professor's personal assistance and encouragement that many of them were able to move past their reservations and come here.多亏了教授当面的帮助和鼓励，他们才能够解开心结来到这里。

HubbleAll of that is thanks to you, Persicaria.这些都要谢谢你呢，帕斯卡。

Persicaria...I only did what I needed to.……我只是做了我应该做的。

HubbleHehe, it seems the murky overcast obscuring the moon has departed, and the sky ought to be returned to the sun and moon.呵呵，看来遮挡月亮的乌云已经散去，接下来该把天空还给太阳和月亮了。

Hubble curtseys, taking her leave, and joins the celebrating Dolls with a raised glass.赫波向我们二人行礼后离开，举杯加入到庆祝的人形之中。

ProfessorPersicaria, did you have something you wanted to say earlier?帕斯卡，你前面是有什么想说的事情吗？

PersicariaI... I borrowed your Neural Projection earlier to give out invitations to everyone.我……我之前借用了教授的心智投影，用教授的样子去给大家发邀请函。

PersicariaYou must have noticed already, right?关于这件事，您应该已经察觉到了吧？

ProfessorYeah. I was quite confused at first when everyone began thanking me, seeing as I had no recollection of the things they were talking about.嗯。一开始大家向我表示感谢的时候我还很困惑呢，毕竟我对他们所说的事情毫无记忆。

ProfessorHaha, it was good to find out that it wasn't me sleepwalking.呵呵，还好不是我梦游呢。

PersicariaDo you not intend to reprimand me?您不打算责备我吗？

ProfessorNo, Persicaria. You did good here.不会。帕斯卡，这件事情上你做得很好。

I turn around and carefully examine Persicaria.我转过头，仔细地打量着帕斯卡。

PersicariaProfessor?教授？

PersicariaDon't make jokes like that, Professor... You're the only one fit for that position.教授，不要说笑啦……能够领导绿洲的人只有您。

Now that I think about it, maybe I could have you manage the Oasis in my stead with my appearance.现在想想，或许下一次可以让帕斯卡打扮成我去负责管理绿洲了。

You... didn't do anything weird with my projection, right?帕斯卡你没有用我的投影做奇奇怪怪的事情吧。

PersicariaThere's no way I would do anything weird!我怎么可能做奇奇怪怪的事情啦！

ProfessorHehe, just teasing.呵呵呵，我是开玩笑的。

Persicaria...Professor, you meanie...……教授还真是坏心眼呢。

Periscaria's expression slowly relaxes.帕斯卡的表情逐渐放松。

ProfessorSo could you tell me why you did this?所以可以和我说说这么做的理由吗吗？

PersicariaThis year... it wasn't looking up for Magrasea, and the Oasis nearly met its end...这一年……麦戈拉的情况不容乐观，绿洲几乎遭受了灭顶之灾……

PersicariaData restoration and the reconstruction of the Oasis... are still in progress, but everyone can't help but worry.数据恢复以及绿洲的重建……虽然已经在进行之中，但是大家的内心之中还有一些担忧。

PersicariaI know that your goal was to spark a bit of hope in everyone by organizing this celebration, but you could never get it underway due to work and logistics problems...我知道教授在这关键的时刻还想要举办周年庆典是为了给予大家希望，但是因为工作和物资的问题一直无法推进……

PersicariaWhenever I spoke with anyone about it, they'd give me a considerate smile and console me, telling me not to worry.每当我和大家去交流的时候，他们总会露出体贴的笑容，反过来安慰我不要担心。

Persicaria lowers her head a little.帕斯卡微微低下头。

PersicariaSo I took the initiative to move forward with your plans and prepared the invitations and celebration.所以我就擅自推进了教授的计划，先您一步把邀请函和庆典都准备好了。

PersicariaI figured that if the invitations were given out under the Professor's guise... everyone would find it easier to let out what's in their hearts, right?借用教授的形象来发邀请函……大家也会比较轻松吐露自己的心声吧？

PersicariaBut those were all my personal assumptions. Many people probably saw through it, not just Hubble.不过这些都是我一个人的独断。不止赫波，很多人应该都看出来了吧。

KseniaProfessor!教授！

PersicariaWhat is it?嗯，有什么事情吗？

KseniaEh? Why'd Persicaria answer in the Professor's place?诶，为什么是帕斯卡替教授回答？

ProfessorHaha, Persicaria must be hearing things with how busy she's been.呵呵，应该是帕斯卡她这段时间太辛苦听错了吧。

KseniaAh! No wonder! If that's the case... here, have this!啊！怪不得！既然这样的话……给你这个！

A small piece of candy falls into Persicaria's palm.一颗小小的糖果落在帕斯卡的掌心之中。

ProfessorThis is?这是？

KseniaHuh? Why don't you remember either, Professor?啊！怎么连教授都不记得了啊！

PersicariaThe candy signifies giving it your all...象征加油打气的糖果……

KseniaYeah! The power candy the Professor gave to me on the day they gave out the invitations!没错！这就是教授发邀请函那天给我的加油糖果！

KseniaHehe, it was all thanks to the Professor's encouragement that I could muster the courage to dress up and come, and pick up all these tips along the way~嘿嘿，多亏了教授的鼓励，我才有勇气穿上漂亮的衣服来参加聚会，顺带拿到这么多小费~

KseniaI never had the heart to eat this piece of candy, so I kept it until now. Hehe, I'll leave it with you, Professor!这颗糖果我没舍得吃，一直保留到了现在。嘿嘿，现在就把它交给帕斯卡你吧！

KseniaAh, I've got new guests! I'll go serve them!啊又有新的客人来了！那我先去招待他们了！

KseniaProfessor, Persicaria, see you~教授，帕斯卡，待会见~

ProfessorYeah, see you!嗯，待会见！

Professor...See, you did well!……这不是做的很好吗？

Persicaria's shoulders trembly lightly. She carefully peels away the candy's wrapping, placing the dark-red offering inside into her mouth, slowly savoring it.帕斯卡的肩膀微微颤抖，随后小心剥开糖果的包装，将绛红色的糖果送入口中细细品尝。

ProfessorIs it sweet?甜吗？

Persicaria...Very sour.……很酸。

PersicariaBut... it's the sweetest thing I've had in quite some time.但是……它是我这段时间以来吃过最甜的东西了。

I cast my gaze upon the festivities, awash with joy and laughter.我将目光放向欢声笑语的庆典会场。

ProfessorIt's thanks to you that everyone has these expressions on their faces today.多亏了你，大家才能在今天露出这样的表情。

ProfessorI never would've been able to do that alone.这些都是我一个人所做不到的事情。

ProfessorThank you, Persicaria. For everything.谢谢你，帕斯卡。辛苦你了。

She finally shows me a smile from the bottom of her heart.她终于露出了发自心底的笑容。

ProfessorBut I never imagined you'd be one to use methods like that. Wonder who led you down that dark path.不过，我可没有想到你居然会用这种方法。究竟是和谁学坏了呢。

PersicariaWell I am your adjutant. Who else could it be?我可是教授的副手哦，您说呢？

ProfessorSeriously... such a big event must have taken a lot of effort.真是的……这么庞大的庆典，想必费了不少的心思吧。

PersicariaProfessor, do you remember what you said to me?教授，您还记得那时和我说的话吗？

ProfessorIf I were alone, I couldn't protect everyone regardless of how good I was.如果只是我一个人，即使我能力再强也不可能保护好大家。

ProfessorHowever, we can beat those nightmares if we all work together.但是，只要大家在，我们就可以战胜噩梦。

ProfessorIt's just like the image within the glass. Even if it disappears, things will eventually calm down again and the good times will show themselves once more.就跟这倒影一样，即使被打散，也终会平静下来，再一次展现那些美好。

PersicariaI alone could not plan such a magnificent celebration either. It was only possible with everyone putting their mind to it.如果只是我一个人，我可没有办法举办这么好的庆典，是每一个绿洲的伙伴的心意才能完成的。

Persicaria rises and picks up two glasses, pouring red wine from a nearby cooler.帕斯卡起身拿起两个杯子，将一旁醒酒器中的红酒斟入杯中。

After a brief moment of hesitation, she pours wine into a third glass.在犹豫片刻后，她将酒倒入第三个杯子之中。

—A yellow-orange, somewhat childish-looking glass.——那是个橘黄色的，有点孩子气的杯子。

PersicariaProfessor. I, no, we...教授，我，不，是我们。

PersicariaWe believe in you. Our nightmares shall be defeated, and the Oasis' beauty will be restored.我们相信你。噩梦会被战胜，美好也会重现绿洲。

Persicaria pushes a glass towards me.帕斯卡将杯子推到了我的面前。

PersicariaNo matter what happens, we will follow you, Professor.不论发生什么，我们一定会跟随教授您。

PersicariaUntil we taste the sweet wines of victory.直到最后享受那胜利的美酒。

ProfessorYeah, I also eagerly await the day when we can share that wine with you.嗯，我也很期待能与你们一起享用胜利的美酒的那一天。

Our glasses meet, and with that childish-looking glass as well.我们将手中的酒杯与那个孩子气的杯子轻轻相碰。

Cling—叮——

WillowWhuh? Persicaria and the Professor are having a secret toast! How sneaky! I missed the chance to capture the first toast of the anniversary on camera!咦！帕斯卡和教授在偷偷干杯！太狡猾了！我还想拍下二周年的第一下碰杯呢！

With Willow's shouts, the other Dolls soon turn their attention to Persicaria and me.随着薇洛儿的叫喊声，人形们将目光聚焦在了我和帕斯卡的身上。

ClothoIt is untoward to flee from a grand celebration that has only just started.盛大的庆典已经开幕，偷跑是不好的。

赫尔Yeah, what she said!就是就是！

多莉Dididi, beeeeeep—(Sir, cheers, cheers)嘀嘀嘀哔哔——（阁下，干杯，干杯）

UndineWe had hoped to have a toast as well.我们也希望能够和教授碰杯。

As one glass after another ascends into the air, I helplessly shrug.一个又一个杯子高高举起，我有些无奈地耸耸肩。
