Cannon Firing 开炮关
Read this chapter with voices →CroqueAhem! Welcome to the test site for the Oasis Defense Mk 33 Autocannon, Professor.咳咳，欢迎教授来到做型绿洲防卫连射炮Mark33的测试基地。
CroqueI asked Anna to specifically grant you access... So please! Help test our latest autocannons!我专门让安娜为教授开通了权限……拜托了！教授试试我们最新型的连射炮吧！
CroqueFeaturing large caliber rounds, high accuracy, massive destructive power, enhanced heat dissipation... In any case, you'll know why it's so great once you try it out!大口径，高准度，杀伤大，优化了散热和……总之你试试就知道了！
CroqueThe premise is simple enough: use the autocannons to stall the enemy advance for as long as possible. The longer you hold out, the more rewards you'll get when the test is completed.测试内容很简单，操控连射炮尽可能地阻挡敌人的前进。坚持时间越久，测试的报酬就越高哦。
CroqueHowever, in order to properly simulate the battlefield conditions where it will be used, the recon team for fire guidance cannot swap positions with the gunner team.不过为了还原在战场上的应用场景。前线负责诱导和侦查的队伍不能与担任炮手的队伍交换位置哦。
CroqueThat said, you will not gain Neural Strain from ending your round in this region so feel free to try the cannon out as much as you like.但是在这个区域回合数不会积累心智承压，所以请教授放心测试。
CroqueI'm sure that once you've experienced it, you'll greenlight the "Dirac Cannon Upgrade Proposal v3.0" that I sent to you!相信只要你体验后！就一定会认同我提出的《狄拉克火炮改造方案3.0》！

OctogenHuh? What are you doing here, Professor?! Cancel the countdown! Are you okay, Professor?咦？教授怎么会在这里！爆破终止！教授你没有受伤吧？
ProfessorWhat's going on? Is this some kind of experiment?这是什么情况？是在做什么实验吗？
OctogenErm... Actually, I borrowed this room to practice shaped-charge demolition, seeing as how I hadn't got any requests for demolition work recently.呃……其实是因为最近没有接到爆破的工作，所以租借了这个房间进行定向爆破的练习。
OctogenOf course... Well, I was actually feeling a little antsy. Want to try it out with me, Professor?当然……其实是有点手痒……要不教授也来试试吧？
ProfessorUh... I'll pass...呃……我就不用了……
OctogenIt'll be fun! Trust me! All you need to do is position yourself properly and hit the detonator button! There are even rewards behind the rubble for you, Professor.非常畅快的！相信我！只要教授调整好位置，按一下这个爆破按钮就好啦！障碍物后还有奖励在等待教授哦。
Octogen stuffs the detonator into my hands.奥托金将按钮强行塞到了我的手中。
Three In A Row 三消
Read this chapter with voices →AntoninaWelcome to Antonina's Mystic Emporium...欢迎来到，安冬妮娜的魔法小屋……
AntoninaWhat the heck... So it was the Professor.什么啊……原来是教授啊。
ProfessorWasn't that shift in tone a little too quick? Anyway, what is this room?态度转变也太快了吧。这个房间是？
AntoninaI can't believe you actually found this place, Professor. Should I say you have keen instincts, or just a keen sense of smell?该说教授的嗅觉很灵敏，还是说直觉真好呢。居然被你发现了这个房间。
AntoninaOr maybe the gallery of prizes on display here drew you in?是不是被这琳琅满目的奖品吸引了目光呢？
AntoninaUnfortunately, all you're looking at now are data fragments. There's no point in collecting them.不过很遗憾，教授看到都只是数据残片，单纯回收这些残片是没有任何意义的。
AntoninaHowever, if you can collect 3 identical pieces of data and put them together, you'll receive an actual prize. Also, the closer you get to the Core Area, the higher the chances of you obtaining rare data fragments.但是，如果能够收集三段相同的数据拼凑在一起，就能获得真正的奖品。并且越靠近中心区域越有概率获得稀有的数据残片哦。
AntoninaCollecting data fragments costs APs. Still, I'm sure you can clean this place out even with your movements restricted.收集数据残片需要消耗行动力。但是如果是教授的话，即使在有限的行动中，也能满载而归吧。
Pursuit 追击
Read this chapter with voices →As I see the sign on the Special Zone that reads "Carnival Dungeon", I push the door open with doubts in my heart.看着特异区上写着的“嘉年华地下城”，我有些疑惑地推开了大门。
????Hehehe... Mwahahahahaha! Now who's this little thief who dares enter the domain of Dungeon Master N...哼哼哼……哼哈哈哈哈哈哈！究竟是哪里的小贼闯入了我伟大的地下城主N的领地……
地下城主N(Uwaaaah... I can't believe I actually said such a line in front of the Professor... It's so... so embarrassing...)（呜啊……在教授面前说这种台词……真的……有点羞耻……）
ProfessorIf I'm not wrong, this place is supposed to be an entertainment area designed by Antonina... I see, so you're in charge of this place, Nascita...我记得这个区域好像是安冬妮娜设计的娱乐区……原来如此，这里是娜希塔负责啊……
地下城主NAhem! O greedy little thief who craves my treasure! You rogue! You pilferer! I will NEVER allow you to take my treasure!咳咳咳！窥探我财富的恶贼！逆贼！小贼！我绝对不会让你带走我的宝藏的。
Professor...Let's just play along. Indeed, I am here to plunder thine wealth!还是好好配合一下。没错，我就是来夺走你的财富的！
地下城主NAnd I will never let you get your way.我是绝对不会让你得逞的。
地下城主NGo forth, my minion! Chase them out of here!去吧，我的眷属哦！把从这里驱逐出去！
ProfessorChase? Minion?驱逐？眷属？
地下城主NHahaha, you shall fall before my minion's speed! For every step you take, it takes two! You will never escape.哼哼哼，败倒在我的眷属的速度之下吧！你每移动一步，它就会前进两步！你是绝对逃不掉的。
地下城主NBut don't worry, for I am a merciful dungeon master and do not seek to take your life. If my minion touches you, you shall be banished from this place!不过放心，我很仁慈，不想威胁你的生命。只要被我的眷属触碰到，你就会被我强制驱逐出这个区域！
ProfessorSo you're saying that I need to evade pursuit while gathering all the loot I can find. And there are plenty of gimmicks and mechanisms that I can use...也就是说，要一边躲避追击，一边尽可能地收集奖励。区域内似乎有不少可以利用的机关……
Most interesting, Dungeon Master N. Let's see if your minion catches us first, or if I clean you out first.有意思，地下城主N，就看是你的眷属先抓住我们，还是我们先搬空你的地下城吧。
地下城主NBring it on!放马过来吧！

FresnelHahaha... (Sigh) Hubble's been working with the Medical Department to make Star Energy recently.哈哈哈……唉……最近赫波和医疗局在合作制作星星能量。
FresnelAs you know, Star Energy is a recovery program developed by the Medical Department.教授也知道，星星能量是医疗局开发的恢复程式。
FresnelAt Hubble's suggestion, they called it Star Energy. However, the Medical Department is short on manpower, so Hubble's been working with them recently.在赫波的提议下，恢复程式被命名为星星能量。但是医疗局的人手紧缺，所以最近赫波在和医疗局合作。

FresnelI'm sorry... I should have been helping her, too...抱歉……本来我也应该来帮忙的……
FresnelBut I've been really busy with my work with the Engineering Department recently...但是最近和工程局合作的项目让我也有些脱不开身……

ProfessorThe Star Energy is an important training resource for everyone, so this counts as part of my job scope.星星能量是保证大家训练的重要资源。所以这部分也属于我的工作范围。
Fresnel(Sigh) Those serious eyes of yours are just like Hubble's.……唉……您那认真的眼神和赫波真的是一模一样。
FresnelHubble was saying that day, "I'll convey the Medical Department's wishes to everyone, this is my job..." and then she ran off into the Abax Gallery.赫波那天也是说“医疗局的心意就由我来传递给大家，这是我的职责……”然后就一股脑地泡在了沙盘回廊里。
FresnelI understand. Once I finish up here, I'll go meet up with you.我知道了，这一边事情告一段落后我也会去和您汇合的。

ChelseaKsenia, give me three packets of chocolate!科谢尼娅，给我来三份巧克力！
WillowTwo packets for me too, the seasonal limited editions!我也想要两份巧克力，节日限定的那种！
KseniaWe don't have any seasonal products yet, only the normal kind. That said, those are running out fast too... Choco, how much more chocolate do we have? Choco!节日限定的还没有呢，只有普通的商品，虽然也差不多快卖完了……巧可，巧克力还有多的吗？巧可！
Ksenia(Sigh) Choco's not responding again. Just wait here for a bit, I'll head into the kitchen to ask Choco how much stock we have.唉，巧可又没有回应了。你们先稍等一下，我去后厨问问巧可还有没有库存！
ChelseaMan, how many customers did the Chocolaterie get today if even Ksenia can't handle it...连科谢尼娅都忙不过来了，今天巧可屋的人还真是多得可怕……
DushevnayaWell, it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, after all. Choco's chocolates are always in demand whenever festive occasions roll around.毕竟明天就是平安夜了嘛。每到节日，巧可制作的巧克力总是很受欢迎呢。
DushevnayaHowever, Choco's always rolled out new seasonal items very early, yet we haven't seen any so far...但以往巧可总是很早就推出节日新品的，这次却一直没看到……
Dushevnaya turns her eyes from the crowd and looks worriedly at the kitchen.杜莎妮将目光从人群中移开，忧心忡忡地望向了后厨。
DushevnayaWhat's going on in there...到底怎么回事呢……
WillowYeah... and it isn't just new products; I haven't even seen Choco herself recently.是呀。不仅没看到新品，最近连巧可本人都没怎么见到。
WillowI was going to interview Choco about her new Christmas menu, but I guess that plan's a wash.我还想趁此机会来采访巧可关于圣诞的巧克力新品呢，这下计划只能泡汤了。
ChelseaAw, it's okay. Maybe you'll be able to report on something else. For instance... didn't the Professor set up a submission box so we could record our Christmas wishes and drop them in?没关系啦，或许也可以看看其他新闻嘛。比如……之前教授不是弄了个祈愿箱让我们录对圣诞节的愿望之类的吗？
ChelseaThe Professor might have some kind of Christmas activity in mind! Do you know anything about that, Willow?说不定教授准备搞什么圣诞活动呢！薇洛儿你有什么消息吗？
WillowHehe, of course! An ace reporter is always the first to hear about these things!嘿嘿当然啦，金牌记者永远站在追逐新闻的第一线！
WillowAlthough I don't know why the Professor wanted to record those wishes, I heard that the Professor's going to arrange for a Christmas parade in the plaza tomorrow, performed by Undine and her marching band!虽然不知道教授为什么要录愿望，但我打听到，明天教授会在绿洲广场安排圣诞巡演，而且这次巡演的是温蒂妮和她的仪仗乐团哦！
ChelseaOhhhh, I saw them practice in the plaza earlier. Their Christmas outfits and music are really striking!哦哦！我之前在广场有看到她们的练习。那身圣诞装扮和圣诞风格的乐曲让人印象超深刻的！
ChelseaUnfortunately, they only ever practice when there are few people around, and they stop once people start gathering, so there's no opening to prank them at all...可惜她们只在人少的时候彩排，每一次人群聚集起来后练习就结束了，完全没有恶作剧的切入口嘛……
WillowOh? Does that mean the "Oasis Prank Committee" will be waiting until Christmas Eve to make their move?哦？这么说来，著名的“绿洲恶作剧委员会”不会要趁平安夜行动吧？
ChelseaHehe, since the parade location has been fixed, our plans can also...嘿嘿，如今巡演的时间地点已定，我们的计划也可以……
Upon seeing Chelsea and Willow's excited discussion, Dushevnaya quietly slips away and heads into the kitchen.见薇洛儿和炽聊得热火朝天，杜莎妮悄悄避开人群的目光溜进了后厨。
She sees a familiar figure behind the dessert table.在甜点桌后，杜莎妮一眼就见到了熟悉的身影。
ChocoChristmas... Christmas...圣诞节……圣诞节……
DushevnayaChoco?巧可？
Choco(Sigh)....唉……
DushevnayaHey~ Choco! Your puff's overflowing!喂~巧！可！泡芙漏了！
ChocoOh... Ahhhhhhh!嗯……啊！
The puff in Choco's hands bursts from having too much chocolate custard injected into it, and the goo flies everywhere. Ksenia, who was looking for the chocolate stocks, hurries over to help her out.巧可手中的泡芙已经被过量的巧克力卡仕达酱撑裂，卡仕达酱飞溅得到处都是。一旁寻找巧克力库存的科谢尼娅也赶过来帮忙收拾。
KseniaUwah, this one's a write-off... Choco, are you alright?呜啊，这个已经不能使用了……巧可，你还好吗？
ChocoI'm fine, it's just that the Christmas snacks... Huh? Dushevnaya? What are you doing here?我没事啦，只是圣诞节甜点……诶，杜莎妮？你怎么来了？
DushevnayaWell, normally you'd have finished making the festive desserts by now... But there's been no news at all this time, so I was a little worried.因为平时的话巧可应该早就把节日的甜点制作完成了……但是这一次却一直没有消息，感觉有点担心。
KseniaYeah, business has been going great the past few days. If the Christmas treats were ready by now, I'm sure they'd have sold like hotcakes!对啊，明明这几天可可屋收益这么好，要是圣诞甜点完成了的话一定会卖得更加火爆吧！
Ksenia(Sob) That sounds so wonderful... Choco, can I get double the pay we agreed on?呜呜呜，好羡慕，巧可我们商量好的工资能翻倍吗？
ChocoAh... oh... okay...啊……哦……好……
KseniaYeah, I thought you'd say no... Wait, did you say yes, Choco?果然不可能答应……嗯？巧可你答应了？
DushevnayaChoco... are you really okay?巧可……你真的没事吧？
ChocoUm, I'm sorry... I've been thinking about the Christmas desserts for the past few days, and my neural cloud's overloaded a little...呜，对不起……我这几天在思考圣诞节甜点的事情，心智有些过载了……
Dushevnaya looks around the kitchen and finds that there are many chocolates on the worktable, shaped like snowmen, Santa Claus, and reindeer.杜莎妮环顾了一下后厨，发现工作台上果然有许多雪人，圣诞老人，驯鹿造型的巧克力。
DushevnayaYou mean none of these chocolates are up to your standards? But they all look so pretty...这些漂亮的巧克力里也没有巧可满意的作品吗？
Choco...Nope. I've made lots of prototypes, but I'm not satisfied with any of them... (Sigh)...……没有，虽然制作了很多试作品，但是没有让我满意的作品，唉……
KseniaBut they all taste so good... omnomnom...但是这些巧克力的味道都很好啊……好吃……
Ksenia picks up a snowman chocolate. She can smell the white chocolate that it's made of even without tasting it.科谢尼娅拿起了一个雪人巧克力，即使还没有开始品尝都已经可以闻到那股浓烈的白巧克力味。
ChocoThese are just desserts with a Christmassy look. They're a long way off from what I want to make...这些只是有着圣诞节的外形的甜点，距离我的目标还很遥远……
DushevnayaAnd what DO you want to make, Choco?巧可想要做什么想的甜点呢？
ChocoActually, I'm not too sure myself... All I know is that I don't want it to just look like a Christmas treat...其实我也说不太清楚……但是我希望不只是外形带有圣诞节元素……
Choco(Whimper) If only something big would happen that could inspire me!呜呜呜……要是有什么能够刺激灵感的大事件发生就好了！
KseniaSomething big...大事件……
DushevnayaLike the Christmas parade, for instance?比如，平安夜的圣诞巡演？
ChocoThe Christmas parade?圣诞巡演？
DushevnayaAh, I just heard Willow talking about it. She said Undine's band would be performing a Christmas parade at the Oasis plaza.啊，我刚才听薇洛儿说的，说是温蒂妮仪仗团会在绿洲广场上进行圣诞巡演。
DushevnayaCome to think of it, the plaza was covered in festive decorations when I passed by just now. Especially that Christmas tree in the middle...这么想来，我刚才路过的时候看见绿洲广场已经被布置得很有圣诞氛围了呢。尤其是中心的那棵圣诞树……
ChocoChristmas tree... Christmas tree... Ah! You're right! Thank you, Dushevnaya!圣诞树……圣诞树……啊！对！谢谢你，杜莎妮！
KseniaHuh? Choco? Where are you going? Aren't you going to run your store? But the ingredients for the chocolate puffs have been used up, and you've got a cake in the oven! Choco? Choco!?哎？巧可！你去哪里！你的店不要了啊！诶？巧克力泡芙的原材料用完了！烤箱里还有蛋糕啊！巧可？巧可！！！
ChocoTake care of it for me, Ksenia! I'll give you a raise afterwards!交给你啦，科谢尼娅！之后我会给你涨工资的！
Choco is so focused on getting to the plaza to find inspiration that she doesn't even look back, and she's gone in a flash.然而急于前往广场探寻灵感的巧可，丝毫没有回头的意思，一溜烟地跑了。
At the Oasis plaza.绿洲广场。
ChocoI haven't been outside these couple of days... So this is what the plaza is like now...这两天都没有出门……原来广场已经变成这个样子了啊……
ChocoWow, these reindeer lanterns are so cute.哇啊，驯鹿的花灯好可爱。
ChocoThat must be the tree Dushevnaya was talking about, right... Hm? Is something the matter?那就是杜莎妮说的圣诞树了吧……诶？什么情况？
There are several out-of-place figures visible on the otherwise Christmassy plaza.充满节日气息的广场上，似乎有几个格格不入的身影。
Choco...Why are Evelyn and the others patrolling near the Christmas tree?为什么……伊芙琳她们会在圣诞树附近巡逻啊？
ChocoHm? Who's that on top of the tree? Is that... is that the Professor?!咦？圣诞树顶端的那个人是……教、教授？！
ChocoAh... Is that the Christmas tree's star that the Professor's holding? It's so pretty...啊……教授手中的是圣诞星吗？好漂亮……
As Choco looks up, she pays no attention to what's in front of her and accidentally bumps into someone.仰着头的巧可，完全没有看路，一不小心和别人撞到了一起。
ChocoUwah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I wasn't paying...哇啊！对不起！对不起！我没注意……
UndineThat is alright. It was merely a small bump, and it will not affect my body's stability.不必在意。只是轻微地磕碰，并不会影响我的素体的稳定性。
ChocoI'm so sorry... Hm? That voice... is that you, Undine?真的很对不起……咦？这个声音是……温蒂妮？
UndineIndeed. It seems you have heard of me...没错，看来您听闻过我……
ChocoWow, it really IS Undine! I love your performances!哇啊！真的是温蒂妮！我超级喜欢你的演出！
Choco rushes up to shake Undine's hand.巧可冲上前握住了温蒂妮的手。
UndineAh... er... um... Pardon me, but could you give me some space? You are a bit too close.啊……嗯。那个，抱歉。可以稍微保持一下距离吗。有点太近了。
ChocoAh, I'm sorry, I got too worked up. I saw you rehearsing in the plaza a few times, several days ago. Your music was really infectious, and it made me think Christmas was already here...啊，对不起，我太激动了。前几天我在广场上看到好几次你们的彩排，你们的音乐非常有感染力，让人一瞬间就能意识到圣诞节来了……
ChocoCompared to that, my own works... Ah, let's not talk about that for now. Aren't you going to rehearse today? I heard you'll be putting on a Christmas parade!相比之下我的作品……唉，先不说这些啦。温蒂妮今天不用彩排吗?听说你们会进行圣诞巡演呢！
Upon hearing the words "Christmas parade", Undine stiffens up.听见“圣诞巡演”几个字，温蒂妮的身体明显僵了一下。
Undine...As a highly-trained and experienced marching band, we have already memorized the details of the performance, and we do not need further rehearsals.……作为高规格，经验丰富的仪仗乐团，这一次演出的内容我们已经熟记于心，已经不需要更多的训练了。
UndineIndeed, we have engraved it all in our hearts and minds, so, um... so we won't make any mistakes.没错，一切都熟记于心，完全记住了，嗯……绝对不会出错的。
ChocoThat's amazing! That's the legendary "Undine's ceremonial orchestra" for you! Everyone in the Oasis is looking forward to it. They were discussing it in the Chocolaterie just now too.好厉害！不愧是传说中的“温蒂妮仪仗乐团”！绿洲的大家都非常期待哦。刚刚可可屋里好像也在讨论这一次的巡演呢。
UndineAh... Please be at ease. We will put on the best show possible for everyone. I guarantee it.啊……请你们放心，我们一定会为大家呈现上最棒的演出。一定。
As Undine is thinking about how to extricate her hand as quietly as possible, several familiar forms run over from the distance.温蒂妮正想着如何不动声色地抽出自己的手，几个熟悉的身影从远处跑了过来。
梅丝Dididi, beep! (Chief, we're, all here.)嘀嘀嘀哔哔！ （老大，我们，到齐。）
ChocoUwah, you must be Undine's friends from her marching band, right? If I'm not wrong, you're Maestoso, you're Dolce, you're Tranquillo, and you're... Scherzando, right? Glad to meet all of you!哇啊，你们是温蒂妮仪仗乐团的伙伴吧！我记得你是梅丝，你是多莉，你是特兰可，还有你是……斯卡尔对吧？很高兴见到你们！
多莉Didi! (Distance, too close!)嘀嘀！ （距离，过近！）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Being hugged, forcibly, unable to, resist.)（被抱住，强行，无法，反抗。）
UndineAhem...咳咳……
As she looks at her distressed aides, Undine clears her throat at an appropriate moment.看着不知所措的僚机们，温蒂妮适时地咳嗽了两声。
ChocoUwah, I'm sorry, I got carried away again. Ah... Would you like some chocolate?哇啊，对不起，我又激动了。那个……要吃巧克力吗？
嘀嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chocolate? Yummy?)（巧克力？好吃？）
UndineAhem! Manners please!咳咳，注意礼仪！
嘀嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chocolate, what, flavor?)（巧克力，什么，味道？）
ChocoThese are raspberry-flavored.这个是混合树莓口味的哦。
UndineHm?咦？
ChocoWhat's wrong?怎么了？
UndineWell, this is a surprise. This is the first time someone's been able to speak directly to these girls.这还真是让人惊讶，这是第一次有人能够直接和这些孩子们对话。
ChocoAh... Well, I met a few special friends when I was in the Helios Sector. The way they spoke was very similar to theirs, and they liked chocolate, too... Oh yes, would you like to try some chocolate too, Undine?啊……可能跟我在赫里奥斯认识了几个比较特别的朋友有关。他们说话方式很相似，而且也很喜欢巧克力……对了，温蒂妮要不要尝一尝？
嘀嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (It's yummy! Chief, try some!)（好吃！老大，试试！）
UndineAh... Then I will graciously accept.这个……我就恭敬不如从命了。
Undine accepts the chocolate that Choco offers her and puts it into her mouth. The operand-based chocolate melts on her tongue.温蒂妮接过了巧可的巧克力，送入口中。算量制作的巧克力在嘴里丝滑地化开。
UndineIt's good...好吃……
ChocoHehehe, it's my pride and joy, after all.嘿嘿嘿，毕竟是我的自信作。
嘀嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Requesting, chocolate.)（巧克力，请求。）
ChocoNo problem, I've got lots of chocolate left.没问题，我还有好多巧克力呢。
Undine can't help but smile as she watches her aides surround Choco.看着被僚机们围住的巧可，温蒂妮的脸上情不自禁流露出了笑意。
UndineThey really are getting along well, this isn't anything like reality at all...真是融洽啊，果然这里和现实不同……
ChocoHm? What's that commotion over there by the Christmas tree?嗯？圣诞树那边怎么有些骚动？
UndineIt looks like... Someone's been arrested?好像……有谁被逮捕了？
Undine looks in the direction that Choco mentioned.温蒂妮顺着巧可所说的方向看去。
EvelynCalling all security personnel. We've apprehended the dangerous element Betty.通知全体警备员，已抓获危险分子贝蒂。
BettyNya! Betty just wanted to take a closer look at the star ~ nya...喵！贝蒂想仔细看看那颗星星喵……
EvelynI'm sorry, Betty, but the Professor's orders are that anyone who might interfere with the installation of the Christmas Star would be flagged as a dangerous element. Please come with us for a bit.非常抱歉贝蒂。根据教授的命令，任何可能影响圣诞星安装的人都会被列为危险分子。所以请你和我们走一趟吧。
BettyNya? Nyanyanya?喵？喵喵喵？
Choco and Undine exchange looks as they watch Evelyn march Betty away.看着被伊芙琳架走的贝蒂，巧可和温蒂妮面面相觑。
ChocoThey just arrested her like that... Isn't security a little too strict?贝蒂直接被抓走了啊……这个戒备也未免太过于严格了吧。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (ID: Evelyn, prevent, approach, Christmas tree.)（ID，伊芙琳，禁止，靠近，圣诞树。）
ChocoHuh? You mean even you and the others can't go near it, Tranquillo? So nobody's allowed to go near it at all before they put the Star on it?诶？连特兰可你们都不能靠近吗？在安装完圣诞星之前都不许靠近？
ChocoIs that tree really that important...这颗圣诞星这么重要的吗……
??Well, it's a very special Christmas star, after all. It's got a day's worth of the Oasis' operands in it.毕竟这是一颗很特别的圣诞星哦，里头蕴含了绿洲一日份的算量。
ChocoUwah! H-Hubble! You scared me!哇啊！赫、赫波……吓我一跳！
HubbleSorry, I didn't mean to. I simply heard you talking while I was verifying a star's path.抱歉，我不是故意要惊吓你的。只是在确认星星的轨道的同时听到了你们的感叹。
Choco(Pant) I thought my neural cloud was going to crash... Hm? How do you know the star was made of all those operands... Did YOU make it, perhaps?呼……感觉心智都要被吓散架了……嗯？赫波为什么会知道这颗星星是这么多算量制作的……难道是这颗星星是赫波做的？
HubbleHehehe, I didn't do all that much... Still, I think the Professor needs to relax a little.呵呵呵，我所做的事情微不足道。不过，教授也确实有些紧张过度了。
UndineA day's worth of operands... truly a massive figure.一日份的算量……这还真是夸张的数字。
ChocoAlthough just about everything in Magrasea is made of operands, this is the first time I've seen such a pretty star.虽然在麦戈拉大部分物品都是算量构建的，但是这么漂亮的星星确实是第一次见到。
HubbleHehe, thanks. In the real world, someone very important to me taught me how to do it.呵呵，谢谢你的称赞。这是在现实世界的时候，一位对我很重要的人教会我的技术。
HubbleShe also taught me many other interesting things, such as writing stories, planetarium projection...她教会了我很多有意思的事物。比如写小说，星空投影仪……
HubbleAnd every time Christmas came around, we'd use the materials in the lab to make a star as a gift for each other. It was because of this yearly practice that I could make a star out of operands in the Oasis.而每一次到了圣诞节，我们都会用实验室的材料搭建一颗星星作为圣诞礼物送给对方。也是因为每一年都有着这样的练习，我才能在绿洲用算量搭建出这一颗星星。
ChocoWhy a star? Was it because you're an astronomer?为什么是星星呢？是因为赫波是天文学研究员吗？
HubbleWhy indeed... perhaps it's because our prayers gather into stars and fly into the heavens.为什么呢……或许因为聚集的祈愿会凝聚成星星飞向天空吧。
ChocoOur gathered prayers?聚集的祈愿？
Hubble continues explaining in the same placid tone, even when faced with Choco's blank stare.面对巧可茫然的目光，赫波依旧用平缓的语调解释着。
HubbleHumans make all kinds of prayers on Christmas. They express gratitude for the year, their hopes for the next year, or perhaps it's just their prayers about the occasion. A prayer might be intended for one person or many people, or perhaps it's just for their own dreams.人们在圣诞节会许下各种祈愿，对一年的感谢，对明年的期许，也或许是对圣诞节的心意。这份祈愿或许是对某个人，或许是对很多人，又或许是对于自己的梦想。
HubbleThese prayers sparkle like the stars in the sky. Aren't you all chasing little stars in your hearts right now?这些祈愿，宛如漫天繁星一般耀眼。你们此时此刻，不也是在追寻心中的星星吗？
UndineWe...我们……
ChocoUm... While I don't quite get it... I know stars are important things now.呜……虽然还是不太理解……但是我知道星星是很重要的东西了。
UndineSo you plan to give stars as a Christmas gift...用星星作为圣诞礼物吗……
ChocoYup! Why don't we try exchanging gifts, just like Hubble did in real life? I might get new inspiration this way!对呀，既然赫波在现实中会交换礼物，我们也来试着交换礼物吧？或许这样就能有新灵感呢！
UndineI'm sorry, but as an E-Orchestra Doll, our purpose is to live up to the Christmas atmosphere. Thus, we did not have time to prepare gifts, and our employer never once gave us Christmas gifts either.抱歉，作为E-Orchestra人形，我们的使命是活跃圣诞节的气氛。因此并没有时间准备礼物，而我们的雇主们也从未赠送我们任何圣诞礼物。
ChocoHuh? But doesn't that mean Christmas for you was really... miserable? You'd have no time to rest and all...诶？那这样圣诞节岂不是很……难受？根本没有休息的时间……
UndineMiserable... We never thought of it that way... All we did was follow instructions.难受吗……一直以来我们从未思考过这一点……只是单纯地执行命令。
Undine looks up at the Christmas tree in the plaza.温蒂妮抬头看向了广场上的圣诞树。
UndineStill, perhaps this Christmas might be different from the ones before it.但是，这个圣诞节或许会和之前的圣诞节不一样吧。
ChocoHm? How so?嗯？什么意思？
UndineI was just talking to myself, there's no need to worry about it. We might be busy, but we will give ourselves enough time to rest, so there's no need to worry.只是我的自言自语，不必在意。我们虽然忙碌，但是会调整好自己的休息时间，所以不用担心。
ChocoThat's awesome! I expected nothing less of the superstar Willow was talking about!好厉害，不愧是薇洛儿说的大明星！
ChocoStill, it's kind of sad that you've never gotten a Christmas gift before... Hm.. I wonder if I can make it in time... If I used multilayered chocolate... And as for the bagpipe's wrinkles...不过从来没有收到过圣诞礼物也太遗憾了……嗯……不知道来不来得及……用多层的巧克力的话……风笛的褶皱……
Undine is a little puzzled as she watches Choco suddenly start muttering to herself in contemplation.看着突然陷入了思考还在喃喃自语的巧可，温蒂妮有些疑惑。
UndineMiss Hubble, is she always like this?赫波阁下，她一直都是这样的吗？
HubbleHehehe, as a confectioner, Choco's ideas have always been as numerous as the stars in the sky. It's only natural that she loses herself in thought like that.呵呵呵，巧可作为甜点师一直都有着宛如星辰般繁多的想法。陷入沉思也是在所难免的。
UndineI see...原来如此……
Undine looks up at the star on top of the tree once again. It's been set in place, and the top of the Christmas tree now shines with dazzling light.温蒂妮再一次看向了圣诞树顶端的星星，星星已经摆放完毕，此时在圣诞树的顶端散发着耀眼的光芒。
Undine...Can I truly convey my wishes... No, I have to.……传递祈愿，我能做到吗……不，是必须做到。
ProfessorHubble, I'd like to confirm something about the star with... Hm? What are you all doing here?赫波，关于星星有件事我想你再确认一下……咦？大家怎么聚在这里？
ChocoUwah... P-Professor, why did you come over...哇啊……教、教授怎么来了……
ChocoWhy does it feel like I've been frightened by everything and everyone today... hm? I wonder if I could make "fright" into...总觉得今天……我一直被吓到……咦？惊吓会不会也可以做成……
Before Choco can ponder any further, a ringing noise interrupts her.然而还没有等巧可多加思考，一阵铃声便打断了她。
ChocoUwah...哇啊……
Choco fumbles with her pocket and takes out her communicator.巧可手忙脚乱地取出终端。
KseniaChoco! Where did you go!? Come back! The cake's burnt!巧可！你去哪里了！快回来！蛋糕烤糊了！
KseniaThere are too many customers at the front counter! I can't manage it and the kitchen at the same time!前台客人太多了，我没有办法兼顾后厨的工作啊！
ChocoHuh?诶？
KseniaJust hurry... Ahhhh! The puffs and tarts in the oven are burnt, too! I... I can't cope... help me!快……哇啊！烤箱里的泡芙和蛋挞也糊了！我……忙不过来了……救命啊！
ChocoUwaaaahhhhhh! I'll be right back!哇啊啊啊啊啊！我马上回来！
Choco hangs up and dashes back toward her Chocolaterie.巧可飞快地挂断了终端，朝着自己的可可屋飞奔而去。
ChocoBye, Professor!教授，拜拜！
ProfessorEr... bye? What's with Choco today?呃……拜拜？巧可今天……是什么情况？
I'm a little confused as I watch her run off, trailing dust in her wake.看着绝尘而去的巧可，我有些迷惑。
UndineGreetings, Professor.贵安，教授。
UndineMy main aim today is to relax and refresh myself.今天主要的目的还是来这里放松，调整心态。
UndineAs for walking the grounds, we have memorized every detail of the stage, so you may rest at ease, Professor.至于踩点，舞台的每一个细节我们已经牢记在心，请教授放心。
Morning, Undine. Are you walking the grounds ahead of time for your rehearsal?早安，温蒂妮。今天是来为演出提前踩点吗？
The show is tomorrow. Are you nervous?明天就要演出了，紧张吗？
UndineWe've been accustomed to shows like this for a long time. We'll be able to take the stage with just a bit of practice.这种程度的演出，我们早就习惯了。只需稍微练习一下，便可以上台。
UndineBeing nervous... does not apply to us.紧张这种情绪……根本不可能出现。
ProfessorWell, that's Undine's ceremonial orchestra for you.不愧是温蒂妮仪仗乐团。
UndinePlease call us the Reindeer Ensemble for the duration of Christmas.在圣诞节期间，请称呼我们为驯鹿合奏团。
UndineIt's getting late, so we will depart for now. We will get a good rest until the sun comes out to herald our performance.时间也不早了，今天我们就先退场了。我们会好好休息，一觉睡到天亮迎接明天的演出。
ProfessorEr... Alright, then.呃……好的。
I become even more confused as I watch Undine hurry off.看着温蒂妮匆忙离开的身影，我更加疑惑了。
ProfessorWhy do Undine and Choco seem so weird today...怎么感觉今天温蒂妮和巧可都怪怪的……
HubblePerhaps they were feeling stressed out by the security line you set up, Professor.她们或许是看到教授的警戒线感到压力倍增哦。
ProfessorBut I just asked Evelyn to patrol the grounds... Hm, I've got a transmission...我只是让伊芙琳巡逻而已……嗯？有通讯……
EvelynProfessor, I have arrested the following dangerous elements: Betty, Banxsy, Octogen...报告教授，本次行动捕获疑似危险分子，贝蒂，坂口希，奥托金……
ProfessorThe star's been placed, so we can stand down security. Let them go.圣诞星已经摆放完毕了，已经可以把警戒撤除了，把他们都放了吧。
EvelynUnderstood. We will be withdrawing now.了解。那么我们收队了。
Professor...Oh yes, do a sweep around the HQ building afterwards. Keep an eye out for any dangerous objects.……对了，之后再巡逻一下指挥部的周围吧。注意检查一下有什么危险物品。
EvelynEr... Alright. I will report to you again after doing a circuit around the HQ building.呃……了解。那么对指挥部周围进行巡逻后，我再向您汇报。
HubbleAren't you being a little too cautious, Professor? Even Evelyn was a little taken aback by that last one.教授是不是有些小心过度了。伊芙琳都有些不知所措了。
ProfessorIt's always best to be careful around Christmas. The HQ building might end up being blown to bits if we're just a little bit careless...圣诞节的事情小心一些比较好。一个不小心指挥部被炸上天也不是不可能……
HubbleHm?嗯？
ProfessorAh, no, that was just experience speaking...啊，不，只是根据一些经验判断而已……
ProfessorAs for the parade, I just so happen to have an idea I want to discuss with you. Let's talk as we walk.关于演出的惊喜，我正好有一个新想法想和赫波商量一下，我们边走边说吧。
HubbleHehe, but of course.呵呵，谨遵吩咐。
ProfessorWell, at least the Christmas star's been placed... hm?圣诞星已经安放完毕了……嗯？
I suddenly sense a sinister chill down my spine, and I reflexively look up at the star on top of the Christmas tree.突然我的身体感受到了一阵诡异的寒风，让我忍不住回头看了一眼圣诞树上的圣诞星。
ProfessorEverything's gone smoothly so far... So why do I have a bad feeling about this?明明一切都在平稳推进……为什么总有种心神不宁的感觉？
Shatter 破碎
Read this chapter with voices →At night, at the Oasis plaza.夜晚，绿洲广场。
A girl looks up at the star upon the Christmas tree, and she slowly recites the lines she had been intoning in her heart for a long time now.少女仰望着圣诞树上的圣诞星，缓缓念出了在心中默念已久的台词。
UndineOn this Christmas night...We are gathered here... In order to...在这圣诞之夜……我们相聚于此……彼此……
UndineNo, that won't work... No matter how I say it... It just sounds so cold...不行……怎么念都觉得……太过于冰冷了……
Undine looks down at her script. Even she doesn't know how many times she has amended it already.温蒂妮低下头看了看手中已经不知道涂涂改改多少次的稿子。
Undine...Can I really convey my emotions to everyone?……我真的能将自己的情感传递给大家吗？
UndineThank you very much to everyone for your attendance. Your support means a lot to us.衷心感谢大家的到来，您的支持对我们非常重要。
UndineWe sincerely thank you for listening to us. It is an honor for Undine's ceremonial orchestra to perform for everyone.非常感谢大家的聆听，能为大家献上演出是温蒂妮仪仗乐团的荣幸。
As she thinks about the cold, mechanical lines of thanks she spoke to various dignitaries and guests in the past, Undine can't help but laugh at herself.回想起自己每一次面对达官显贵们那冰冷机械的感谢词，温蒂妮忍不住自嘲了一下。
UndineI can recite pro forma pleasantries like they're nothing, but when I really want to tell someone how grateful I am and how I want to wish them all the best... I have no idea how I should do it.说了那么多客套话，真的想要表达自己感谢和祈愿的时候……反而不知道该怎么传达了。
Undine...And I already made the Professor a promise too. I guess I should practice a little more... Hm?……明明已经在教授面前夸下海口了。还是再练习一遍吧……嗯？
Undine is extremely sensitive to sound, and she can hear quiet footsteps from the other side of the Christmas tree.对声音极其敏感的温蒂妮听到了圣诞树对面传来了轻微的脚步声。
UndineWhy would someone be here at this time of night?这个时间为什么会有人经过这里？
Undine hides herself, nervously peering at the source of the sound from behind the tree...温蒂妮隐藏身形，紧张地从树后向声音来源处望去……
Bonk!砰！
UndineNgh!呜！
??Uwah!哇啊！
Undine rubs her forehead and looks at the person on the other side of the Christmas tree, who's also rubbing their forehead and crouching down...温蒂妮捂着额头，看向圣诞树后另一张同样捂着脑袋蹲下的身影……
??Owie owie ouch... Ahhhh... don't eat me... don't eat me...好痛……啊啊啊啊……不要吃我……不要吃我……
Undine...Choco?……巧可？
ChocoI don't taste good... Huh? That voice... Is that you, Undine?我不好吃……诶……这个声音是……温蒂妮？
Upon realizing that it's Choco, Undine pats her chest and breathes a sigh of relief before moving forward to help her up.温蒂妮看着巧可拍拍胸脯长舒一口气，上前将她扶了起来。
ChocoWhew... You startled me... I heard a strange noise from that side of the Christmas tree and I thought it was the "Purple Weirdo Who Walks Around At Night Muttering To Herself In The Dark" that Puzzle was telling me about...呼……吓死我了……我听到圣诞树这边有奇怪的声音，还以为是幻谜说的“夜晚出现在黑暗中碎碎念的紫色怪人”呢……
Undine discreetly hides the script she's holding.温蒂妮默默藏起了手中的的稿子。
UndineSpeaking of which, why are you here at this time of night, Choco? I went out of my way to make sure nobody would be passing by...话说回来，巧可为什么会在这个时间来广场？我明明挑选了大家不会路过的时间。
ChocoAhaha... Well, I mainly came out here to get some air...啊哈哈……主要是想要出来散散心……唉……
Choco lowers her head, and Undine follows her gaze down to the box that Choco is holding.巧可低下头，温蒂妮顺着巧可的目光看到了巧可手中的纸盒子。
UndineWhat's that?这是？
ChocoIt's a failure from this afternoon... I was planning to eat it up while walking... Oh yeah, would you like to try it, Undine?今天下午的失败作……本来是想要出来散步顺便把它吃掉……对了，温蒂妮要尝一尝吗？
UndineI...我……
(Rumble)咕噜咕噜。
Undine is about to refuse in her usual polite fashion, but the moment she smells the fragrance from the box, her tummy rumbles in protest.温蒂妮本想一如既往的用客套的方式拒绝，但是当闻到盒子里散发的香气时，自己的肚子不争气地发出了声音。
UndineThen... Don't mind if I do.那我就……恭谨不如从命了。
ChocoTeeheehee, alright, then.嘻嘻嘻，好的。
Choco opens the cake box and reveals an exquisite chocolate cake to Undine. The smooth chocolate outer shell is decorated with lifelike snowmen and reindeer. It even has a Santa Claus made of icing sugar on it.巧可打开了蛋糕盒，一块精致的巧克力蛋糕展现在了温蒂妮的眼前。平整顺滑的巧克力外壳，栩栩如生的雪人和驯鹿。甚至还有翻糖制作的圣诞老人。
UndineIt's so pretty...好漂亮的蛋糕……
ChocoHehehe, try some.嘿嘿嘿，来尝一尝吧。
Choco cuts off a piece and offers it to Undine, who puts it in her mouth.巧可切下了一小块蛋糕递给了温蒂妮，温蒂妮缓缓将蛋糕送入口中。
The crispy chocolate shell has a hint of bitterness to it, but it's not enough to be unpalatable; instead, it neatly offsets the fragrance of the sponge cake within. The chocolate mousse sandwiched between the two layers of sponge is rich and smooth, and there's a slight fruity aftertaste to it.脆皮巧克力的外壳带有一丝丝的苦味，但是这份苦味并没有让人觉得不适，反而衬托了海绵蛋糕的香气。夹在两层海绵蛋糕之间细腻的巧克力慕斯柔顺且醇厚，似乎还带有一种淡淡的果香。
UndineIt's good... This is the best cake I've ever had. I can't believe you can get so many different flavors of chocolate in one cake...好吃……这是我吃过最好吃的蛋糕。同一个蛋糕中巧克力的味道层次居然可以这么丰富……
ChocoI'm glad you like it. There's a lot more where it came from.你喜欢就好，还有很多哦。
Choco cuts Undine another slice as she speaks.巧可一边说一边为温蒂妮又切了一块蛋糕。
UndineHow could such a good cake be a failure? Both its taste and presentation... Not even nobles in real life have such exquisite cakes for their teatimes.这么好吃的蛋糕，为什么要称呼为失败作呢？不论是味道还是造型……现实世界中贵族们的下午茶里都不见得有如此精致的蛋糕。
ChocoUm... That's because it's just a delicious cake.嗯……因为现在这只是一块好吃的蛋糕而已。
UndineWhat do you mean?什么意思？
ChocoWell, if all I wanted was to make a cake that tasted good, then I could make something like this anytime and anywhere.如果是制作一块让人觉得好吃的蛋糕，在不同的时间和地点我也能够端出这样的作品。
ChocoBut... That would only prove that I could make a delicious cake. It could be done anywhere else, not just here in Magrasea, and during Christmas.但是……这也说明了我制作的只是一个好吃的蛋糕而已。即使不是圣诞节，不在麦戈拉我也能够完成。
UndineChoco... Am I right to think that you want to make a Christmas dessert that can only be found in Magrasea?巧可……难道是想做出在麦戈拉才能吃到的圣诞节甜点？
ChocoEhehehe... I didn't manage to do it, though...诶嘿嘿……虽然没有成功就是了……
UndineMagrasea-style Christmas sweets, hm... I thought everyone didn't like Magrasea, and they all wanted to go back to reality...麦戈拉风格的圣诞甜点吗……我以为大家其实并不喜欢麦戈拉，都期待回到现实去……
ChocoHm... While I DO look forward to going back to reality, the truth is that everyone cherishes their time in Magrasea too.嗯……虽然很期待回到现实的那一天。但是，大家也很珍惜在麦戈拉的时间哦。
ChocoEven though we're trapped in this world, the Professor and Persicaria have been working hard to give us a chance to make full use of our talents and express ourselves.即使是被困在这个世界，教授还有帕斯卡却一直努力为我们创造能够发挥自己能力的空间。
ChocoEven the Chocolaterie and the Chocolate Production Line were built for me by the Professor and Persicaria.就连可可屋和巧克力生产线也是教授和帕斯卡帮我建立的。
UndineIndeed... I thought I'd never have a chance to put on a performance again.确实……我原本也以为自己不会有机会再一次演奏了。
After noticing Undine's thoughtful expression, Choco nods in agreement and loads another slice of cake into her mouth.看见温蒂妮如有所思的表情，巧可赞同地点点头，叉起一块蛋糕送入自己的嘴中。
ChocoIf we weren't stuck in this world, I might never have had the chance to speak with you, and I might not have gotten a chance to meet everyone... Mmm, this crispy chocolate shell is great!如果我们没有被困在这个世界里，或许我永远不会有机会和温蒂妮交流，也不会认识大家……唔这个巧克力脆皮真好吃！
ChocoSo for the sake of commemorating my encounters with everyone, I want to come up with a Magrasea-themed Christmas dessert for this festival that symbolizes the end of the year... The sponge sandwich is good, too; that's a classic combination for you!所以就算是纪念和大家认识以及相遇，我也想要在这个象征一年尾声的节日里制作出一款麦戈拉气息的圣诞节点心……海绵蛋糕夹心也不错，不愧是经典搭配！
Choco...Uh... But there's still one thing I'm not happy about... Its texture is a little dry, so I guess I shouldn't bake it for so long.……唉……但是一直没有什么让我满意的……口感还是有点干啊，烘烤的时间应该缩短一些的。
Undine...Choco, you can talk after you finish eating.……巧可，你也可以先吃完甜点再说话的。
ChocoEhehehe, well, it DOES taste good after all... Alright, then!诶嘿嘿，毕竟确实挺好吃的嘛……好的！
Choco goes through the cake like a tropical hurricane through the clouds, while Undine has only taken a fragment of her small slice of cake.巧可风卷残云般解决了剩下的蛋糕，而温蒂妮手中的一小块蛋糕才刚少了一角。
Undine...Everyone told me that you were a happy-go-lucky confectioner. But after we met... I feel like there's more to you than that.……之前大家对巧可的描述，都说巧可是一个乐天派的甜点师。但是和你接触后……感觉似乎不仅仅是这样啊。
ChocoHuh? Ah, do you mean it's because I ate too much? I mean, you were hungry, and... I'm so sorry, I can't resist the allure of chocolate...诶？啊，是不是我吃的有点太多了？明明你刚才饿了……真不好意思，我很难对巧克力有抵抗力啦……
UndineNo, that's not what I meant. I've already restored enough energy. Thank you.我不是这个意思啦，我已经补充了足够的能量了，谢谢你。
UndineWhat surprised me was how you're agonizing about "making a Magrasea-only Christmas dessert" when your cake is already so good.我惊讶的是，明明你已经做出这么好吃的蛋糕了，却还在为做出“麦戈拉专属的圣诞点心”而烦恼。
ChocoHuh? Is that strange?诶？这件事很奇怪吗？
ChocoIf you ask me, you're the strange one, Undine. You're able to lead your band through such great performances, but you keep drilling with them over and over again.在我看来，温蒂妮才比较奇怪呢，明明已经能指挥乐团做出这么棒的演奏了，却还在一遍接一遍地练习。
UndineWell, my performances aren't as great as you make them out to be...我们的演奏并没有你说的这么厉害……
ChocoDon't say that! They're amazing!别这么说，真的很厉害哦！
Choco suddenly stands up.巧可猛地站了起来。
ChocoI was inspired to create a new dessert because I heard you'd be performing with your band!我就是因为听到了温蒂妮你们的演奏才会想要制作新的点心的！
ChocoWhat you're doing isn't just performing a Christmas-themed piece, but making the audience feel the spirit of Christmas through your costumes, the music, and the overall mood of the performance!温蒂妮的演奏不仅仅是演奏了圣诞风格的曲子，而是从你们的服饰，乐曲的节奏和整体的氛围都可以让观众感受到圣诞节的到来。
ChocoAnd it's because I could sense the feelings you were trying to convey that... that I wanted to make a dessert that could make others feel the same way!因为能感受到其中传达的心意……所以我也想要制作出这样风格的甜点！
UndineAh... Thank you, and... you're a little too close.那个……谢谢，话说……又有点太近了。
ChocoAh! I'm sorry!啊！对不起！
It is only then that Choco realizes that she has grabbed Undine's hand in her excitement.巧可这才意识到自己又一次激动地握住了温蒂妮的手。
UndineIt is our honor to have inspired you through our performance.如果我们的演出能够为你带来灵感，是我们的荣幸。
ChocoHehehe... Oh yeah! It might be a little early for this, but...嘿嘿嘿……对了！虽然时间有点早……
Choco suddenly takes another gift box out from her pocket.巧可忽然从口袋里又掏出来一个礼物盒。
ChocoMerry Christmas, Undine.圣诞快乐，温蒂妮。
UndineUh... Why...诶……为什么……
ChocoWell, this morning you said you'd never received a Christmas present before... So I went and made one for you, Dolce, and the others...因为温蒂妮早上说……自己没有收到过圣诞礼物……所以我就擅自做了一份礼物给温蒂妮还有多莉她们……
UndineThis is...这……
Undine is at a bit of a loss as to how to respond to the present Choco is offering her. All she can do is repeat the same lines she has spoken countless times before.面对巧可手中的礼物，温蒂妮有些不知所措，她只能和以前一样说出了自己重复过无数次的话语。
UndineMany thanks for this gift of yours. I will not forget your generosity.非常感谢你的礼物，这份大恩我不会忘记。
ChocoHahaha, aw, it's not that bad...哈哈哈，没有那么夸张啦……
UndineAh... no...啊……不……
Undine(If I can't even express my thanks to Choco for her good intentions at a time like this... Then how am I going to express my feelings at tomorrow's show?)（连这种时候面对巧可的好意都无法表达自己的谢意……我又要怎么在明天的演出表达自己的心意？）
UndineThank you, Choco... May I open it to take a look?谢谢你，巧可……我可以拆开来看看嘛。
ChocoMhm!嗯嗯！
Undine opens the box, and she sees five little objects lying inside. There is a trumpet, a bagpipe, a snare drum, a bass drum, and a baton.温蒂妮打开了礼物盒，精致的礼物盒中静静地躺着五个物件。小号，风笛，军鼓，大鼓还有指挥杖。
ChocoI wanted to make a gift for you, but... I didn't have enough time, so I could only make these chocolates for you... I hope you like them.虽然说是想要准备礼物，但是……时间不够我只能做这样的巧克力了……希望你能喜欢。
Undine...They're so well-made... You even managed to reproduce the patterns on the baton...……这么精致的礼物……没想到连指挥杖上面的花纹都……
ChocoWell, it was because I was taken in by how cool your baton looked during your rehearsals... Oh yeah!因为我第一次看温蒂妮彩排的时候就被温蒂妮帅气的指挥杖给吸引了……对了！
UndineWhat is it?怎么了？
As she sees the change in Choco's expression, a bad feeling comes over Undine.看到巧可的表情的变化，一丝不祥的预感从温蒂妮的内心浮现。
ChocoUndine, could I try out your baton?温蒂妮，能不能让我试一试指挥杖呀？
UndineHuh?诶？
ChocoAh... I saw you twirling it the other day, and... I thought it looked super cool, so...那个……我看着你挥舞指挥杖的样子……一直觉得很帅气所以……
ChocoCould I please borrow it? Just for a bit? I might be able to get new inspiration that way!可不可以让我也试试！拜托了！说不定可以帮我找到新的灵感！
UndineUm... But my baton...诶……我的指挥杖……
Undine looks at the baton in her hands, which she has used for many years now. A strange, quiet voice tells her that doing so might lead to disastrous consequences.温蒂妮看向手中的指挥杖。经过这么多年的使用，一种微妙的直觉告诉她，此时此地，这么做或许会有糟糕的后果。
UndineBut... This baton is special, and it's quite hard to control. Maybe I could give you something that's easier to handle instead?但……这个指挥杖是特质的，其实意外地难操作，或许我可以先给你找比较轻便的……
Choco(Sniffle)... Pleeeeeeeease?呜……求求你了……
Undine looks down at the gift box in her hands, and then at Choco's sparkly eyes, and then at the fragments of cake at the corner of her mouth.温蒂妮看着手中的礼物盒，看着巧可亮闪闪的眼神，以及她嘴角的蛋糕碎屑……
UndineIt's not...不……
Choco(Sniffle)呜……
UndineIt's not... It's not entirely out of the question!不……不是不行啦！
Undine...And besides, you've done so much for me. Please, go ahead.……毕竟都受到你那么多照顾了。请吧。
ChocoEhehehe, thank you!嘿嘿嘿，谢谢你！
Choco takes the baton from Undine's hands and begins playing with it.巧可从温蒂妮手中接过了指挥杖，在手中把玩了起来。
ChocoWhoa... It's actually pretty heavy...哇……这个指挥杖果然还挺重的诶……
UndineUwah! Look out...哇啊！小心……
Upon seeing the way Choco is messing with the baton, Undine feels like her neural cloud core is going to jump out of her chest.看着巧可玩弄指挥杖的动作，温蒂妮的心智核心都提到了嗓子眼。
ChocoTeach me how to use the baton, Undine! I want to do cool moves like you!温蒂妮，教教我怎么用指挥杖吧！我也想试试温蒂妮那些帅气的动作！
UndineUh... I... Alright, then...诶……这个……好吧……
UndineThe baton is used to signal the start and stop of the music and to control its melody, but at the same time, the baton is also part of the performance.指挥杖的作用是控制节奏和乐器演奏的起止，但同时指挥杖也是表演的一部分。
UndineThe first thing you need to know is how to take the proper posture. Put both legs together, side by side, and bring the baton close to you...首先最重要的是标准站姿，双腿并拢，指挥杖贴近身体……
ChocoLike this?这样吗？
UndineHmm... You need to bring the hand that isn't holding the baton in as well. Keep it close to your body.呃……不持指挥杖的手也要并拢，贴紧身体。
Choco(Whimper) It doesn't feel cool at all...呜呜呜感觉这个动作一点都不帅……
Even without looking in a mirror, Choco can sense how awkward her current movements are.即使不照镜子，巧可也知道自己此时的动作要多别扭有多别扭。
ChocoOh yeah! I could use that move of Jiangyu's... How did she do it... Oh yeah!对了！我可以学一下绛雨的那一招……怎么弄来着……对了！
ChocoThe staff soars like a dragon, sweeping in all directions!棍出如龙，扫平四方！
Choco swings the baton in her hands and shows off a few staff flourishes.巧可用舞动手中的指挥杖，耍出了一个棍花。
UndineCho-Choco, you can't use the baton like that...! I don't think my neural cloud can take this...巧、巧可……不能这么使用指挥杖……！我感觉我的心智快承受不住了……
ChocoAh, I'm sorry...啊，对不起……
UndineIt's okay, it's not your fault. I mean, that move DID look pretty good, maybe we could try that in future... it's just that...没事啦，也不是怪你。刚才那个动作也挺好看的，或许以后也可以试试呢……只是现在……
ChocoReally? Did I help you out just now, Undine?是吗？我帮上温蒂妮的忙了吗？
ChocoThat's great! I remember other tricks, too! All the lady heroines on TV used to do this...太好了！我记得还有其他动作！电视中的大姐姐们都是……
Choco hurls the baton high into the sky, and it traces a graceful arc through the air—巧可将手中的指挥杖朝上一扔，指挥杖在空中划出一道优美的弧线——
UndineAhhhhhhh—啊啊啊啊——
After pulling off an extremely difficult maneuver, Undine barely manages to catch the falling baton.温蒂妮以一个难度极高的动作接住了落下的指挥杖。
ChocoThat's awesome! You really are a professional drum major!好厉害！不愧是专业的指挥！
UndineChoco, the marching band baton isn't meant to be used that way. Let's start with something simpler...巧可，仪仗乐团的指挥杖可不能这么用哦，我们还是从简单的开始吧……
ChocoHuh? But don't all the heroines on TV do that?咦？但是我看电视中的大姐姐们不是经常做这个动作吗？
UndineHaha, well, my baton isn't a cheerleader's baton...哈哈，我的指挥杖不是啦啦队的指挥棒啦……
Undine hands the baton to Choco.温蒂妮将指挥杖递回巧可手中。
UndineIn any case, just follow my movements. It may feel awkward at first, but you'll familiarize yourself with it soon enough.总之你还是跟随我的动作来做吧，虽然一开始别扭，但很快就能熟悉的。
ChocoHahaha... Alright... Hm? Undine, what's that up in the sky?哈哈哈……好……咦？
ChocoHahaha... Alright... Hm? Undine, what's that up in the sky?温蒂妮你看天上那是什么？
UndineIn the sky?天上？
Choco points up at the sky, and Undine looks where her finger is pointing. There seems to be a humanoid figure flying overhead.巧可抬手指向天空，温蒂妮顺着巧可所指的方向抬头，看到一个人影从自己头顶划过。
UndineIs... Is that a person? Is she... Is she flying through the air?那……那是人吗？她……是不是在天上飞？
ChocoCould it be Santa Claus?难道是圣诞老人吗！
ChocoHey! Santa! I want a huge pile of chocolate... No wait, I want inspiration... Ah! I should wish for everyone to be able to leave Magrasea safely!喂！圣诞老人！我想要堆成山的巧克……不对我想要灵感……啊！要不还是许愿大家都能平安离开麦戈拉好了！
UndineThat's more like wishing on a star, right? Also, shouldn't Santa be riding a sleigh?这是对流星许愿的方式吧？而且圣诞老人不应该坐雪橇吗……
Undine...Huh? Choco? Where's my baton!?………………咦？巧可！指挥杖呢！
ChocoAh? Uh...啊？诶……
The two of them reflexively look up.两人下意识抬头向天上看去。
Undine's baton has traveled in a perfect parabola, soaring past the Christmas tree.只见温蒂妮的指挥杖，在空中划过了一个优美的曲线，越过了圣诞树。
UndineAh... AHHHHHHHHHH!啊……啊啊啊啊啊！
ChocoThe baton!指挥杖！！！
Choco runs toward its landing point with all her might, and then, with a flying lunge, she grabs the falling baton.巧可奋力朝着指挥杖落下的方向冲了过去，然后一个飞扑接住了掉落的指挥杖。
UndineChoco!巧可！
By the time Undine arrives, she sees Choco all curled up and hugging the baton tightly.当温蒂妮赶到的时候，只看到了蜷缩在地上紧紧地抱着指挥杖的巧可。
ChocoEhehehe... I caught it...诶嘿嘿嘿……接到了……
Choco ruffles her head and hands the baton back to Undine with both hands.巧可摸了摸头，双手托着指挥杖交到了温蒂妮的手中。
ChocoI'm sorry...对不起……
UndineNo... It's nothing... (pants) Are you alright, Choco?不……这没什么……呼……巧可你没有受伤吧？
ChocoI'm fine, I'm fine! Whew... Good thing nothing happened...没事没事！呼……还好没有出什么意外……
Crack...噼啪……
UndineHuh? What was that noise...诶？什么声音……
Crack...噼啪……
ChocoIt sounds like it's coming from the Christmas tree... Could it be...好像是圣诞树传来了的……难道说……
Undine and Choco look up, their gaze now focusing upon the star at the top of the Christmas tree.温蒂妮和巧可抬头看向了圣诞树上的圣诞星。
Crack... crack... crack...噼啪……噼啪……哗啦……
巧可&温蒂妮Ah...啊……
There is a crisp, shattering sound as the Christmas Star atop the tree explodes. The shattered fragments fly in all directions. Some of them disintegrate in mid-air, making the plaza look like there's a meteor shower raining down on it.伴随着一阵清脆的破碎声，圣诞树上的星星炸裂开来。炸裂开的碎片朝着广场四周飞散而去，一部分碎片在空中还在不断的解体，让广场上宛如有漫天流星落下一般。
Choco and Undine gasp in awe as they lose themselves in the sight—巧可和温蒂妮沉醉在这样的美景之中，情不自禁地发出感叹——
UndineOh no!糟了啊！！
Choco—Crap crap crap crap crap!——闯祸了！闯祸了！闯祸了！
UndineHurry! Gather all the stars up!快快把星星捡起来！
Choco frantically reaches down to the two pieces of stars at her feet and tries to put them together.巧可慌乱地捡起地上的两块碎片，想要将它们拼凑在一起。
ChocoWait, this angle isn't right... It should be this way...这个角度不对……应该是这样……
Crack...啪啦……
ChocoAh...啊……
The two fragments in Choco's hands come apart again.两块碎片在巧可的手中再一次解体。
ChocoA time machine... We need to go find a time machine...时光机……快找找有没有时光机……
UndineWe're doomed...完蛋了……
Undine looks dumbly at the Christmas tree and its top, now bereft of a star.温蒂妮呆呆地看着空无一物的圣诞树顶端。
UndineI knew it... A Doll like me just can't convey my feelings to everyone...果然像我这种人形……根本没办法做好向大家传递祈愿这件事……
UndineLet's not even talk about the Christmas show... Even the symbol of the event was...别说给大家带来圣诞演出……连节日气息的象征都被我……
Purity 纯真
Read this chapter with voices →Some time later, on the other side of the Oasis Plaza.一段时间前，绿洲广场的另一角。
ChelseaHehe, it's late at night, and there's nobody around. All I need to do is set a trap under the Christmas tree, and everyone will get the fright of their lives tomorrow morning!嘿嘿，夜半时分，广场上肯定没有人。只要现在在圣诞树下面设置陷阱，明天一定能吓大家一跳！
ChelseaTruly, this is the perfect plan for firing the first shot from the Oasis Prank Committee... Now watch me go!就这样打响绿洲恶作剧委员会的第一炮，真是万无一失的计划……就看我的吧！
Chelsea pulls out the prank device she's already assembled beforehand and creeps toward the Christmas tree. Just then...炽掏出早已准备好的恶作剧机关，蹑手蹑脚地朝圣诞树的方向走去，就在此时……
???Didididididi—嘀嘀嘀嘀嘀嘀——
ChelseaWho's that!?谁？！
Chelsea suddenly jerks her head back, but the only thing she hears in response is the wind.炽猛地回头，回答炽的只有静静的风声。
ChelseaNo way... could it be that "Purple Weirdo Who Walks Around At Night Muttering To Herself In The Dark"...不会吧……难道，幻谜说的那个“夜晚游离在黑暗中的紫色怪人”出现了……
ChelseaIt's got to be a prank, right? Well, I'm not falling for it! Come out right now!一定是谁的恶作剧对吧！我、我才不会被吓到呢！给我出来！
???Didi—嘀嘀——
Sinister notes of electronic music filter through the still air.诡异的电子音节飘荡在寂静的空中。
ChelseaI-I-I-I'm not scared! You're over there!我我我不会怕的，在那里！
Chelsea bites back her fear and rushes toward the source of the noise, but in the darkness, all she can make out are several figures in a grass patch, some distance away.炽忍着恐惧快步冲向声音所在的方向，在黑暗中只模糊地看见远处的草丛中有几个黑影。
Whoosh—唰——
A dark shape appears behind Chelsea almost at the same time!几乎同时，黑影又出现在了炽的身后！
Chelsea nimbly turns to face it, but the dark shape is rapidly pressing closer...炽警觉地转身，只看见那黑影朝自己急速逼近……
??Dididi—嘀嘀嘀——
ChelseaUWAAAAHHHHHH IT WAS JUST A PRANK PLEASE DON'T EAT ME—!!!呜哇哇哇哇我只是想恶作剧而已啊不要吃我——！！！
Chelsea throws aside the device she's holding and runs like the wind.炽扔下手中的机关，一溜烟跑了。
The dark figure emerges from the shadow and quietly puts down the branch it is holding.黑影从黑暗中悄然现身，默默放下手中的树枝。

Undine's aides retreat back into the grass patch and begin talking through their IR sensors.温蒂妮的僚机们再度退回了草丛中，利用红外感应协作系统开始交流。
Once again, the only sound on this silent night is that of the wind.沉寂的夜里再度只剩下风声。
多莉(The chief's location is nearby... Tranquillo, are we really going to find the chief?)（老大的坐标就在附近了……特兰可，我们真的要去找老大吗？）
特兰可(The chief's been so lifeless recently, it kind of worries me.)（老大这几天没有精神，让人有点担心。）
梅丝(But the chief told us not to follow her today. She said she wanted to rehearse the dedication by herself...)（但是老大让我们今天不要跟着她。她说她想自己练习致词……）
斯卡尔(We're disobeying the chief's instructions... Will she get mad if we go look for her?)（我们不听老大的话……去找她的话，老大会生气吗……）
特兰可(I'm worried about the chief, though...)（可我很担心老大……）
The aides exchange looks in the darkness, even though they can't see each other's faces.僚机们在黑暗中面面相觑，虽然并不能看见彼此的表情。
特兰可(How can we cheer the chief up?)（有什么能够让老大打起精神的方法呢？）

梅丝(Quiet down, everyone.)（大家，安静一下。）
Crack... crunch...噼啪……噼啪……
They hear the sound of something breaking from far away.从远处传来了什么东西碎裂的声音。
斯卡尔(It sounds like it came from the Christmas Tree.)（好像是圣诞树那边传来的。）
Bang!砰！
多莉(Ow! What was that?)（什么情况，哎哟！）
特兰可(Ouch! That hurt! Who's hitting us?)（好痛！好痛！是谁在攻击我们？）
Startled by the sudden noise and the assault from the mysterious objects, the aides all crouch down and cradle their heads on the spot.僚机们被突如其来的声音和迷之物体的袭击吓得蹲在地上死死地抱住了脑袋。
众僚机Dididi, beep—嘀嘀嘀哔哔——
特兰可(Huh? It stopped...)（咦？停止了……）
梅丝(What's going on?)（怎么回事？）
斯卡尔(Hm? What's that on the ground?)（咦？地上的是什么东西？）
多莉(Are they glass shards? They're pretty!)（玻璃碎片？好看！）
Dolce picks up the fragments, and she can almost make out a quiet sound from inside them.多莉捡起碎片，能够隐隐约约听到碎片中有一个细微的声音。
多莉(These fragments seem to be making some kind of noise.... Hmm... I can't tell what it is, though...)（碎片里好像有什么声音……呜……听不清……）

Crash!哐当！
众僚机Dididi, beep—嘀嘀嘀哔哔——
Having learned from their previous experience, the aides immediately crouch down and protect their heads. However, nothing hits them this time.有了刚刚的经验，僚机们立刻蹲下抱头，但是这一次却没有任何东西砸在她们身上。
A strange metal framework rolls in front of them, and Scherzando picks it up.一个奇怪的金属框滚到了她们的面前，斯卡尔将它捡了起来。
斯卡尔(What is this?)（这是什么？）
梅丝(It looks like a star.)（好像星星。）
??Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry up, Undine!快快快！温蒂妮快一点！
UndineChoco... Wait... Wait for me...巧可……等……等等我……
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chief! Choco!)（老大！巧可！）
UndineHuh? Dolce, what are you and the others doing here?咦？多莉你们怎么会在这里？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chief, we're sorry, we followed...)（老大，对不起，跟随……）
Before Maestoso can finish speaking, Undine puts a hand on Maestoso's shoulder and lowers her voice.没等梅丝说完，温蒂妮就扶住了梅丝的肩，压低了声音。
UndineThere's no time to explain. It's good that you're here right now; I have a very important task for you.不过也没时间解释了，你们现在在这里正好，有一个重要的任务要交给你们。
UndineWe're going to make a new Christmas star, and we need enough time for it!我们现在要去重新做一颗圣诞星，为此需要充足的时间！

Undine pats the shoulders of her aides with the utmost seriousness, and then she rushes over to Choco.温蒂妮慎重地拍了拍僚机们的肩膀，随即朝着巧可的方向冲了过去。
多莉(Chief, this is...)（老大这是……）
特兰可(Huh? Are those footsteps? Is the chief coming back?)（咦？脚步声，难道老大又跑回来了？）
ChocoScherzando! I'll be borrowing this! It'll be perfect for a mold!斯卡尔！这个东西我借走了！正好可以当模具！
Choco grabs the metal frame that Scherzando just picked up and runs off.巧可飞快地拿走了斯卡尔刚刚拾取的金属框架，然后一溜烟地跑远了。
斯卡尔(I don't get it...)（不理解……）
梅丝(But those are the chief's orders. Let's go find His Excellency Professor .)（但是是老大的命令，那么我们去找阁下吧。）
At the Oasis, in the Ops Room.绿洲，指挥部。
LamBoss? What's up?Boss？怎么了？
ProfessorDid you guys really not hear something break just now?你们刚刚真的没有听到什么东西碎裂的声音？
Lam and Yelena, who were busy sorting out the Oasis' finances, both shake their heads.正在进行财务整理的拉姆和叶莲娜茫然地摇了摇头。
ProfessorWas I imagining things?难道是我的错觉？
YelenaI didn't hear anything BEFORE, but now... Maybe you should look at the entrance to the Ops Room.之前确实没有听到任何动静。但是现在的运势……指向了指挥部门口哦。
ProfessorHuh?咦？
Strange noises are coming from the entrance.指挥部门口似乎传来了一阵奇怪的声音。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Delay, time?)（拖延，时间？）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Reason, reason?)（理由，理由？）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chief, didn't say.)（老大，没说。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (What do we do?)（怎么办？）
ProfessorThese voices are...这个声音是……
I open the door to the Ops Room.我推开了指挥部的大门。
众僚机Dididi, beepbeepbeepbeepbeep—嘀嘀嘀哔哔哔哔哔哔——
ProfessorWhat are you doing here? Hm? Is it just the four of you?你们怎么来了？咦？只有你们四个吗？
Undine's aides hug each other and eye me with what looks like fear.温蒂妮的僚机们紧紧地抱在一起似乎有些恐惧地看向我。
Professor...Did I scare you?……难道我吓到你们了？
YelenaSo it was Undine's girls.原来是温蒂妮家的孩子们呀。
Yelena walks up to the aides and pats Dolce's and Scherzando's heads.叶莲娜走到了僚机们的身边，摸了摸多莉和斯卡尔的头。
YelenaHello. My name is Yelena.你们好呀，我叫叶莲娜。
YelenaDon't be scared. Lady Luck favors cute kids.别害怕，好运会眷顾可爱的孩子们的。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Hello.)（你好。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (ID, Yelena, recorded.)（ID，叶莲娜，记录。）
ProfessorWhew... Thanks, Yelena.呼……谢了，叶莲娜。
I can't help but sigh in relief as I see Yelena soothing the aides.看着被叶莲娜快速安抚的僚机们，我不由得松了一口气。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Greetings, Your Excellency.)（阁下，贵安。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Excellency, Excellency.)（阁下，阁下。）
While I've gotten a rough grasp of what they're trying to convey after spending some time with them, I still can't fully make out what they're trying to tell me.虽然经过一段时间的相处，我已经可以大致猜测她们想要表达的情感，但还是不能清楚地理解她们想要表达的内容。
ProfessorYelena... Do you understand what they're saying?叶莲娜……你能听懂她们说了什么吗？
YelenaHaha, that's a little difficult...哈哈，这个就有些为难我了……
ProfessorI guess all I can do is guess... Were you looking for me?看来只能是尽量去猜了……你们找我有事吗？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative, affirmative.)（肯定，肯定。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Doubt, doubt.)（疑惑，疑惑。）
ProfessorDo you need my help?是需要我帮忙吗？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (No negotiation, no negotiation.)（没商量，没商量。）
...This is bad, I have no idea what they're trying to say.……不行，完全无法理解她们想要表达什么。
Tranquillo stands up and mimes a circle in the air.特兰可站了出来，她在空中画了一个圆。
ProfessorA big watermelon... cleaved in half? One for you, and... Wait a minute, is this taichi or something?一个大西瓜……一刀劈下去？一半给……等等，这是太极吗？
Have them use sign language.让她们用姿势比划。
Have them write out what they want to say.让她们在纸上画出自己想要表达的东西。
YelenaPerhaps... She wants to say, "Giving something to others?"或许……她是想表达“把东西分给别人”的意思？
Dolce takes the pen and paper from me and quickly draws a post-modern abstract art piece.多莉接过了我递出去的纸和笔，在纸上快速画出了一幅后现代前卫抽象艺术画。
ProfessorThe lines are all over the place, and the picture looks distorted...这放荡不羁的线条和扭曲的图形……
YelenaHm, could this be a ribbon?唔，这边这个图案，似乎有点像蝴蝶结？
YelenaWhen you take the recent occasion into consideration... Were they planning to ask you for a Christmas gift, Professor?结合最近的节日……会不会，她们其实是想要教授的圣诞礼物呢？
ProfessorAh... Let's give it a try. Were you going to ask me for a present?这个……试一试？你们是来找我要礼物的吗？
Surprisingly, the aides do not express agreement or disagreement. Instead, I am met with silence.僚机们出乎意料地没有表现出肯定或者是否定，回应我的是一阵沉默。
YelenaHuh? Professor, they're...诶？教授，她们这是……
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Present! Chief, mentioned it!)（礼物！老大，提过！）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Present, for Chief, cheer, her up!)（给老大，礼物，打起，精神！）
The aides suddenly get excited, making me wonder if I've stumbled onto some keyword... It seems I'm just a hair away from the answer.僚机们忽然激动了起来，让我觉得自己似乎触碰到了什么关键词……离答案就差一点了。
LamWhy is it so noisy all of a sudden? Did you run into a problem, Boss? ...Ah, it's Undine's ceremonial orchestra.怎么突然这么吵，Boss遇到什么麻烦了吗……啊，是温蒂妮仪仗乐团啊。
LamHm, Undine's not around? Now, that's unusual. Do you need help, then?咦，温蒂妮居然不在吗？还真难得，是需要帮忙吗？
Professor(Indeed, Undine's aides usually follow her like shadows. This is the first time I've seen them operating independently.)（确实，平时僚机们和温蒂妮是形影不离。这还是第一次看到她们分开行动。）
YelenaOr are they here behind Undine's back?会不会她们其实是瞒着温蒂妮来这里的？
ProfessorSo you're saying they don't want a gift, but they want to give Undine a gift?也就是说，她们其实不是想要礼物，而是想要给温蒂妮送礼物？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative!)（肯定！）
As I see the aides nodding in unison, I breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, I've figured out what they're trying to say.看着齐齐点头的僚机们，我不由得松了一口气，总算理解她们的意思了。
ProfessorThank you, Yelena, Lam.多亏你们了，叶莲娜，拉姆。
ProfessorSo you're asking me what kind of gift would be good for Undine, then?所以大家是想要问我送温蒂妮什么样的礼物比较好吗？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative.)（肯定。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (On chief's mind?)（老大，在意？）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Christmas tree, star!)（圣诞树，星星！）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative, affirmative!)（支持，支持！）
(Suggest something that Undine's had on her mind recently.)提议温蒂妮最近最在意的东西。
(Suggest a very Christmassy gift.)提议圣诞气息浓厚的礼物。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Thank you, Excellency.)（感谢，阁下。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Christmas? Christmas tree?)（圣诞？圣诞树？）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Negative, difficulty, too high.)（否定，难度，过高。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Suggestion, Christmas star?)（提议，圣诞星？）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative, affirmative!)（支持，支持！）
After a brief conversation of deets and beeps, the aides suddenly turned to me and bow in unison before leaving.僚机们叽叽喳喳讨论了一番后，突然朝着我们深深鞠了一躬，离开了。
Yelena...I take it that's a satisfactory conclusion?……这算是圆满解决了吗？
Professor...Perhaps. I guess we should ask the Engineering Department to build a translator device next time.……或许吧，果然下一次还是委托工程局和技术局制作一个翻译器吧。
YelenaBut they really are a bunch of cute girls. I can't believe they snuck out behind Undine's back to get suggestions from the Professor.真的是一群可爱的孩子呢，居然瞒着温蒂妮悄悄跑来问教授的建议。
LamWell, they're doing their best for Undine, too. Still, since the matter's settled, let's get back to work.她们也是想为温蒂妮加油吧。不过，既然事情告一段落了，就让我们继续刚刚的工作吧。
ProfessorHaha, you're as serious as ever, Lam... Now then, we were discussing the Christmas event expenditures?哈哈，拉姆还真是认真……那么，刚才说到了圣诞节的开销报告？
LamYes. This is a summary of the Oasis' expenditures during Christmas, including the device that the Boss suggested this afternoon.是的，这一次绿洲圣诞节活动开销的报告如下，包括下午Boss提议新设备的预算也已经计算好了。
LamAlthough the Christmas star was quite costly, we can massage it so that it doesn't impact the Oasis' operations in any way, so you can relax, Boss.虽然圣诞星的算量消耗较大，但是在调整后对绿洲现在的运转并不会产生任何影响，请Boss放心。
Lam goes through each item in detail, and Yelena occasionally supplements Lam's explanations with a comment of her own.拉姆针对每一项花费都进行了详细说明，叶莲娜也时不时为拉姆的报告进行补充。
ProfessorWhew... Thanks, you two.呼……辛苦你们了。
LamJust doing my job. Also, it's thanks to Yelena's help that we managed to finish this new report so soon.这是我应该做的，也多亏了叶莲娜的帮助，所以才能够在短时间内完成这份新的报告。
YelenaHahaha, it's been quite interesting to go back to this kind of work after so long.哈哈哈，久违地做这一份工作也挺有意思的。
I stretch myself.我伸了一个懒腰。
ProfessorI didn't expect it to be so late. I should probably prepare for the Christmas Eve show. But...没想到已经这么晚了，接下来还要为平安夜的演出做准备。但……
YelenaSomething seems to be bothering you, Professor. Would you like to tell us about it?教授似乎有什么心事呢，愿意和我们说说吗？
ProfessorFor some reason... I've had a bad feeling since this afternoon.不知道为什么……从今天下午开始就有一种诡异的预感。
LamAccording to Evelyn's report, everything is going fine.根据伊芙琳提交给指挥部的报告来看，一切都很正常。
ProfessorYeah, I saw the report, too. I guess I'm just overthinking things.嗯……报告我也确认过了，应该只是我多虑了。
YelenaStill, it seems the Oasis chatrooms have been pretty active since just now.但似乎从刚刚开始，绿洲的聊天板就十分的热闹呢。
ProfessorSay what?什么？
My feeling of unease intensifies, and I open the chatroom as quickly as possible.不祥的预感在此刻放大，我以最快的速度打开了聊天板。
Ace Prankster Puzzle was right! I saw that purple weirdo at the Oasis Plaza! It can make shadow clones of itself and talk in beeps and boops! The Hero Of Justice has Arrived! Huh?

I take a deep breath and close my terminal.我深吸一口气，关上终端。
LamThe Christmas star... vanished?圣诞星……不见了？
YelenaMy simulations didn't predict this...出现了推演之外的结果呢……
ProfessorI guess that premonition... was right after all...灵感……还是应验了……
ProfessorLam, Yelena, I'll leave this to you. I'm heading over to the plaza to take a look.拉姆，叶莲娜，这部分工作先拜托你们了，我去广场看看。
Truth 虚实
Read this chapter with voices →In front of the Oasis Plaza.绿洲广场前。
ProfessorThe Christmas tree is around the corner... I need to check on the Christmas star ASAP.转过前面的弯就能看见圣诞树了……总之先尽快确认圣诞星的去向吧。
I quicken my pace toward the tree's location while checking the chat group for any other useful information, but then someone suddenly rushes out from around the corner. I can't stop myself in time and run straight into her.我边查看聊天版上有没有其他有用的消息，边快步跑向圣诞树所在的方位，转角却突然冲出了一个身影。我没来得及停下脚步，和她结结实实地撞在了一起。
??Uwah, owowowow... This is the third time today...呜哇，疼疼疼疼……今天第三次了……
ProfessorI'm sorry, are you alright?抱歉，你没事吧？
??I'm fine, I'm fine, I was in a rush...没事没事，是我太着急了……
I move up to see what's going on and catch a glimpse of who's there—我上前查看情况，同时看清了对方的身份——
Professor...Choco? What are you doing here?……巧可？你怎么在这里？
ChocoPro-Pro-pro-pro-pro-professor! You-you-you-you-you...教、教教教教授！你你你你你……
ProfessorWhat's wrong? Why are you so excited?怎么了？这么激动？
ChocoNo... It's nothing. What are you doing out here so late, Professor?不……没、没什么。教授这么晚了怎么会在这里？
ChocoEh... How did you know about Santa Claus, too... No! That's not right! I don't know anything!诶……教授也知道圣诞老人……不！不对！我什么都不知道！
I heard the Christmas Star turned into Santa Claus and flew away.我听有人说圣诞星变成圣诞老人飞走了。
I'm here to do final checks on the stage.我来给舞台做最终检查。
ChocoUh... Checks... Why do you need to do checks?诶……检查……为、为什么要检查呢？
Professor...Choco, are you hiding something from me?……巧可？你是不是隐瞒了什么？
ChocoN-No, of course not.没、没有啊。
ProfessorSpeaking of which, you were coming from the direction of the Christmas tree, right? Did you see where the Christmas star went?这么说来，你是从圣诞树的方向来的吧？你有看到圣诞星去哪了吗？
ChocoThe-the-the-the-the Christmas star's perfectly fine; there's nothing wrong with it, ahahaha...圣圣圣圣圣诞星好好的呀什么都没有发生啊哈哈哈哈……
After seeing Choco like this, I am certain that there is something wrong.看着巧可这一副表情，完全可以猜出她知道些什么。
ProfessorIn that case, maybe I should go check on it too...既然如此我去检查一下圣诞星吧……
ChocoAhhhhh! Uwahhhhh!哇啊！哇啊！
ProfessorWhat's wrong?怎么了？
ChocoAhahaha... there was... a bug just flew past... Ahahaha...哈哈……有……有虫子飞过……哈哈……
I shake my head in exasperation and attempt to walk past Choco from the left.我无奈地摇了摇头，打算从左侧绕过巧可。
From the right.从右边。
From the left.从左边。
I back up.后退。
ProfessorChoco...巧可……
ChocoAhahaha... What's with you, Professor?啊哈哈……教授怎么啦？
ProfessorWhat are you trying to do? Why are you blocking my path?你到底想要做什么，为什么一直挡住我的路？
ChocoAhahaha... Er... Ah... Oh , right, would you like some chocolate, Professor?啊哈哈……呃……啊……对，教授要吃巧克力吗？
Choco takes a huge pile of chocolate from her pockets and tries to stuff them into my pockets.巧可从口袋里拿出了一大堆巧克力拼命地塞进了我的口袋中。
I suddenly point behind Choco.我突然朝着巧可后方一指。
ProfessorLook, it's a Dirac-shaped chocolate!巧可，快看！那边有狄拉克造型的巧克力！
(Distract Choco.)转移巧可的注意力。
(Evade Choco with your stunning agility.)用身法晃倒巧可。
ChocoHuh? Where!?诶？在哪里？
As Choco is distracted, I immediately slip past her and rush toward the Christmas tree.趁着巧可分神，我立刻一个侧身朝着圣诞树冲了过去。
I take advantage of Choco's attempt to stuff chocolate in my pocket to slide back and successfully circle around Choco's blockade.趁着巧可往我的口袋里塞巧克力的间隙，我侧身滑步，成功地绕开了巧可的围堵。
I turn the corner up ahead, and the Christmas tree comes into view—转过前面的转角，圣诞树引入我的眼帘——
ChocoUwaaahhhh don't look, Professor—Huh?呜哇哇哇哇教授别看啊——咦？
ProfessorHm?诶？
The Christmas Star is seated primly on top of the Christmas tree.圣诞星安稳地坐落在圣诞树的顶端。
ProfessorThis is... What's going on...这是……什么情况……
ProfessorCould it be that there was fake news in the chat group? Hm? Was the Christmas star originally at that angle?难道聊天板上的消息是假消息？诶，圣诞星原本是在这个角度的吗？
ChocoThank goodness...太好了……
ChocoI TOLD you it was okay, right? But you didn't believe me, Professor!我就说圣诞星好好的吧，教授你还不相信我！
ProfessorBut...但是……
ChocoNo buts! Now go back already!没有但是啦！总之你快回去吧！
ProfessorEh, okay...呃，好吧……
After seeing Choco try her best to push me back toward the Oasis, I have no choice but to go along with her. Just then, another person rushes out from around the corner—见巧可努力地把我往绿洲的反方向推，我只好跟随她的步调。就在此时，转弯处再度冲出了一个身影——
UndineChoco, I put the star up, we can have Dolce and the others... Er...巧可，我把星星安装好了，我们可以让多莉她们……呃……
The three of us are completely unprepared for the present circumstances and simultaneously freeze up.我们三个人对于现在的情景都没有过任何准备，三个人同时僵在了原地。
UndineP-Professor!教、教授！
ChocoI... I'm doomed...完……完蛋了……
ProfessorCaught in the act, as they say. What's all this about putting the star up?人赃俱获，巧可，安装星星是怎么回事啊？
ChocoUm, er, ah... The star turned into Santa Claus and flew away and then we got the star back...呃……诶……那个……星星变成圣诞老人飞走了，然后我们把星星抓回来了……
ProfessorMhm. Go on.嗯嗯，继续。
Choco(Whimper) You're so mean, Professor... Um... I'm sorry...呜……教授太坏了……唉……对不起……
ProfessorAre you ready to tell the truth now?愿意说实话了？
ChocoProfessor, it was all my fault... It had nothing to do with Undine.教授，这都是我的错……和温蒂妮没有关系。
ChocoI accidentally broke the star with her baton...是我不小心用指挥杖把星星打碎了……
UndineAh... It wasn't entirely Choco's fault, if I had been more careful...那个……不全是巧可的错，要是我能多注意一下……
ChocoNo, if I hadn't done something so dangerous...不对，如果不是我做那些危险动作……
ProfessorCalm down, you two. Start by telling me what exactly happened.都冷静一下，先和我说说到底发生了什么吧。
Choco explains the situation to me, from asking Undine to lend her the baton, to seeing Santa Claus, to the baton slipping from her hand and hitting the star.巧可向我解释了前因后果，从一开始的向温蒂妮索要指挥杖到看到圣诞老人后指挥杖脱手砸中了圣诞星。
I can't help but rub my temples, and then I suddenly realize something.我忍不住揉了揉太阳穴，突然注意到了话中的一个细节。
Professor...Wait a minute, so you really saw Santa?……等等，所以你们真的是看到了圣诞老人？
ChocoYup yup. Santa Claus flew past with a whoosh.嗯嗯，圣诞老人在天上唰的一下飞了过去。
UndineStill, rather than calling it Santa... It looked more like the Befana.不过与其说是圣诞老人……更像传说中的贝法娜女巫？
ChocoHuh? What's that?诶？那是什么？
UndineShe's a legendary being who gives presents to kids, like Santa Claus. However, she's a witch on a broom.和圣诞老人一样是传说中给孩子们带去圣诞礼物的存在，不过是骑着扫帚的女巫。
ChocoOh, that's right! Santa was riding a broom when he flew past!啊对，圣诞老人是骑着扫帚飞过去的！
Professor...Riding a broom... Could it be... (Sigh) Okay, I think I know what happened now.……骑着扫帚……难道说……唉，我大概知道发生什么了。
ProfessorStill, if the Christmas star was broken... Then what exactly is the star on the tree right now?不过圣诞星被打碎了的话……现在圣诞树上的这颗星星又是怎么一回事？
ChocoThat star... It's a fake I made out of chocolate...这颗星星是……是我用巧克力做的赝品……
ProfessorChocolate? You can make chocolate glow like that?巧克力？巧克力也可以做到这样闪闪发光吗？
ChocoWell, the chocolate is just a framework. Its surface has operand-simulated lights on it.只是用巧克力作为载体，然后再往它的表面附加上算量模拟出光源。
Choco takes out a miniature Christmas star. It glows just like the one on the tree.巧可从口袋里拿出了一个迷你版的圣诞星，和圣诞树上的圣诞星一样，闪闪发光。
ChocoI... I'm sorry, Professor. You spent so many operands to make the star, but...对……对不起，教授。明明是耗费那么多算量制作的星星……
ChocoAh... I'll work hard to make up for it! But please don't blame Undine!那个……我、我会努力工作弥补这份损失的！但是请不要怪温蒂妮！
UndineNo, I'm responsible for this too, I'll do my best to help out.不，这是我的责任，我会拼尽全力帮忙的。
As I watch the two of them try to pin all the blame onto themselves, I can't help but sigh.看着二人争相承担错误，我不由得叹了一口气。
Professor(Groan) ...Let's just contact Hubble first. After all, she made the star; maybe she might have a solution for it.唉……总之我先联系一下赫波吧，毕竟她是制作星星的人，或许有解决办法。
UndineAh... Yeah... Miss Hubble even told us about the meaning of the star this afternoon. I'm terribly sorry...啊……对……赫波阁下今天还向我们解释了星星的含义。真的非常抱歉……
Doot... Doot... Doot...嘟……嘟……嘟……
The terminal emits the doots, which indicate nobody is picking up.终端机传来了无人应答的嘟嘟声。
ProfessorHm? Did something happen on Hubble's end, too?嗯？不会赫波那边也出了什么事情吧？
Just as I'm about to call her again, several little figures run over from the distance.我正想重新开启通讯，几个小小的身影从远处跑来。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chief, we, returned!)（老大，我们，返回！）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Professor, also here.)（教授，也在……）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Detecting, analyzing, conclusion...)（检测，分析，结论……）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Mission, complete failure!)（任务，大失败！）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (We're sorry!!)（对不起！！）
As she watches the aides bow in apology, Undine shakes her head.看着同样低头道歉的僚机们，温蒂妮摇了摇头。
UndineIt's alright. It was my mistake to begin with, and I got you involved in it. You don't need to feel sorry.没事，本身就是我犯了错误，你们是被牵连进来的。不用感到抱歉。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chief, kind, so moved... )（老大，温柔，感动……）
ProfessorEr, since I can't contact Hubble right now, why don't you go back first? You've got a show tomorrow, after all. You too, Choco, don't you have desserts to make?唉，既然现在联系不上赫波，你们就先回去吧，毕竟明天还要演出呢。巧可也是，还要做甜点吧？
Choco(Whimper) Christmas desserts...呜，圣诞节甜点……
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (ID: Hubble, search?)（ID，赫波，寻找？）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (ID: Hubble, location, observatory.)（ID，赫波，地点，天文台。）
UndineHubble's at the observatory? How do you know?赫波在天文台？你们怎么会知道？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Can't say, can't say.)（不能说，不能说。）
ProfessorIn that case, I'll head over there first. You guys should get some rest.既然如此我就先去天文台了，你们早点休息。
UndineI'd like to go with the Professor. After all, Hubble put a lot of effort into making the star... I need to properly apologize to her.我想和教授一起去。毕竟这颗星星是赫波阁下耗费心血做成的……我想向她好好道歉。
ChocoMe too, I want to go too!我也一样！我也想去！
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Together, together!)（一起，一起！）
ProfessorLooks like we'll all be burning the midnight oil together, then... Right, what about the broken star?看来只能大家一起熬夜了……对了，被打碎的星星呢？
Undine...Now that you mention it... the pieces of the star that fell on the ground earlier... they're all gone...……这么说来……之前散落在地上的星星碎片……不见了……
ChocoHuh? But they were still on the ground when we left just now. I was planning to sweep them up after we put up our star...诶，我们离开的时候还散落在地上，本来是想着安装好后再打扫干净的……
ProfessorStrange... Did the star really run off by itself?奇怪……难道星星真的自己跑了？
The whole thing seems to be getting more and more mysterious, but before that, we need to discuss a new plan with Hubble. We'll just have to follow the star's trail later.总觉得谜团变得更多了，但是在那之前必须先和赫波商量一下新的方案。星星的踪迹只能之后再寻找了。
At the Oasis' observatory.绿洲天文台。
ChocoHm? Is Hubble not here?咦？难道赫波不在这里吗？
Although we've arrived at the observatory's roof, there is no sign of Hubble.虽然我们抵达了天文台的屋顶，但是却没有看到赫波的身影。
??(Snoring)呼……呼……呼……
ChocoWhat's that sound?这个声音是？
We look in its direction and find Hubble napping in the corner.顺着声音，我们发现在天台角落里趴着小憩的赫波。
ProfessorHubble?赫波？
Hubblezzz... Hm? Professor? Why are you here?呼……呜？教授？您怎么来了？
HubbleBut looking up at the sky as the wind blows is so comfy... (yawn)但是仰望星空，吹着风，很舒服……呼……
HubbleThe stars at night are always so fascinating. Good evening...夜晚的星空永远都让人着迷，晚上好……
Hubble rubs her eyes and stands up.赫波揉了揉眼睛，站了起来。
HubbleWhy have you all come here?大家来找我是有什么事情吗？
You'll catch a cold if you sleep on the roof of the observatory, you know.在天台上睡觉的话容易感冒哦。
Good evening, Hubble.晚上好，赫波。
ChocoAh... Hubble... I'm sorry...那个……赫波……对不起……
Choco takes the initiative to step forward and bow to Hubble. Undine follows closely behind her.巧可率先走上前，对着赫波深深鞠了一躬，温蒂妮也紧随其后。
UndineI sincerely apologize, Miss Hubble.赫波阁下，非常抱歉。
HubbleHm? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden? Come now, heads up, everyone.咦？为什么突然道歉？大家先把头抬起来。
ChocoI... I broke the Christmas star you made, Hubble...我……把赫波制作的圣诞星打碎了……
UndineI sincerely apologize, Miss Hubble... It was our mistake...非常抱歉，赫波阁下……是我们的失误……
Choco and Undine explain everything to Hubble.巧可和温蒂妮又将事情的经过向赫波复述了一遍。
ChocoSo I made a chocolate star and put it on the Christmas tree... I'm sorry!现在我制作了一个巧克力圣诞星放在了圣诞树上……对不起！
HubbleThat's alright. You didn't break it on purpose, did you?没事，大家也不是故意打碎星星的不是吗？
ChocoBut... it was the star YOU made, Hubble...但是……那是赫波制作的星星……
HubbleAlthough the Christmas star is broken, you made a new one and put it up there, didn't you, Choco?虽然圣诞星已经碎了，但是巧可不是已经制作了一颗新的星星放上去了吗？
HubbleThe previous star just wanted to become a shooting star to fulfill everyone's wishes, so there's no need to worry.之前的圣诞星想必也只是化作流星去实现其他人的愿望了而已，不需要这么紧张。
ChocoHuh? What do you mean?诶？什么意思？
HubbleHehe, it's just something the star told me before it left.呵呵，只是星星在离开前和我说了一下悄悄话罢了。
HubbleAlthough that means the mechanism the Professor was working on and the preparations involving them can't be used...不过这样一来，教授设置的机关和这一系列的准备就没有办法发挥作用了。
UndineWas there some kind of special mechanism on the star?那颗星星上还有机关的吗？
HubbleYup. It was much more fragile than usual because it was filled with a surprise from the Professor.嗯，正是因为那颗星星里蕴含了教授准备的惊喜，所以才比想象中要脆弱许多。
ChocoNo wonder the Professor was so concerned about it... It's all my fault...难怪教授今天会那么的谨慎……都是我的错……
UndineStill, what kind of mechanism was it...不过到底是什么样的机关呢……
HubbleCan you tell us, Professor?可以说吗，教授？
ProfessorWell, I was going to tell Undine about it anyway, plus it's broken now.原本也是要通知温蒂妮的内容，更何况现在星星已经碎了。
HubbleThat star was assembled from miniature vocalizer subunits containing everyone's wishes.那颗星星是用承载了大家祈愿的迷你星星发声终端组合在一起的大星星哦。
UndineEveryone's wishes...大家的祈愿……
HubbleDo you remember when the Professor asked everyone to make their wishes and record them?还记得之前教授让大家许愿的事情吗？
ChelseaAw, it's okay. Maybe you'll be able to report on something else. For instance... didn't the Professor set up a submission box so we could record our Christmas wishes and drop them in?没关系啦，或许也可以看看其他新闻嘛。比如……之前教授不是弄了个祈愿箱让我们录对圣诞节的愿望之类的吗？
ChelseaThe Professor might have some kind of Christmas activity in mind! Do you know anything about that, Willow?说不定教授准备搞什么圣诞活动呢！薇洛儿你有什么消息吗？
HubbleWhy indeed... perhaps it's because our prayers gather into stars and fly into the heavens.为什么呢……或许因为聚集的祈愿会凝聚成星星飞向天空吧。
ChocoOur gathered prayers?聚集的祈愿？
ChocoAh, so that's why she phrased it that way.啊，难怪赫波会那么说……
HubbleThe original plan was to have the star become a shower of stardust and fall on the audience.本来是要在演出高潮时让星星化为漫天流星落下，散落在观众身边。
HubbleThat way, everyone would be able to hear everyone else's wishes for the Oasis, for everyone, and for the new year through the stars.这样大家就可以通过星星收到大家对绿洲，对大家，对新的一年的祈愿了。
ProfessorThat's also why we had to expend so many operands on the star. Making all those mini-vocalizers was really costly.这也是星星为什么要消耗那么多算量的缘故，制作发声终端消耗了不少的算量。
ProfessorAt the same time, we had to use more operands to control the rate of descent of the fragments.同时还在机关上额外附着了算量控制碎片的下落速度。
ProfessorAlthough, I didn't expect that even the fragments would go missing...不过没想到连星星的碎片都失踪了……
UndineI can't believe... we wrecked something so important...这么重要的东西……居然被我们……
Undine clenches her fists and lowers her head in sadness.温蒂妮紧紧地握住双拳，有些落寞地低着头。
UndineProfessor... I'm sorry... Perhaps I...教授……抱歉……我或许……
ChocoOperands... Voices... Ah, that's it!算量……声音……啊！对啊！
Choco takes out the star chocolate she showed me before.巧可从口袋中拿出了那颗之前给我展示过的星星巧克力。
ProfessorWhat is it, Choco?怎么了巧可？
ChocoProfessor! I... I might have a way... to put your plan into action!教授！我……或许有办法……完成教授的计划了！
Intentions 心意

KseniaThat's strange... I can't contact Choco.奇怪了……联系不上巧可……
DushevnayaIsn't Choco here yet, Ksenia? It's almost time for the show.科谢尼娅，巧可还没有来吗？距离演出的时间不多了哦。
KseniaShe said she was on the way earlier; I didn't hear anything else from her afterwards... I don't know what's going on with her either.之前她说自己在路上了，然后就没有了消息……也不知道是什么情况。
KseniaIf she's late, we might not be able to get seats with a good view of the show in the center of the plaza.要是晚一点的话，可能就没有那么好的位置看到广场中心的表演了啊。
Ksenia looks around. The Dolls have started to gather round. A pink figure is running their way at top speed, not too far out.科谢尼娅环顾了一下广场，广场上人形们已经聚集起来。不远处还能看到一个粉色的身影在狂奔。
WillowHurry, everyone!大家快点呀！
MillauCalm down, Willow. We still have some time before the show begins.薇洛儿你慢慢来，距离演出开场还早着呢。
WillowNope. I didn't expect the picture I took last night to be fake news; I need to expunge this stain upon my honor!那可不行。没想到昨晚拍到的照片居然是假新闻，我绝对要洗刷昨天的耻辱！
WillowAs an ace reporter, I need to take the best spot and take the best celebrity pictures in order to claim the Oasis' headlines!作为金牌记者，我一定要占据最棒的位置，把大明星的姿态全部拍下来，让新闻抢占绿洲头条！
WillowOh yes, Chelsea, how did the Prank Committee plans go?对了，炽，你们恶作剧委员会的计划怎么样了呀？
ChelseaDammit, the plan to set that trap last night was ruined...可恶，昨晚的陷阱计划被意外打乱了……
ChelseaHehehe, better make sure you get a picture of the celebs getting pranked.哼哼哼，你可要抓拍好大明星被恶作剧的一瞬间哦。
MillauUwah... Are you really going to try something during the show?呜啊……你还真的准备在演出的时候恶作剧吗？
ChelseaNot during the show itself, of course, but after it... Hm? When did Evelyn show...演出的时候当然不会，但是演出后……诶？伊芙琳你什么时候……
EvelynAccording to the Professor's latest instructions, Chelsea and Octogen are to undergo a full body search.根据教授的最新指示，对于炽和奥托金的随身物品进行重点检查。
ChelseaNoooooo my watergun...我的水枪啊啊啊啊啊啊……
WillowWait a minute, was that your Plan B...这、这不会就是你的planB吧……
Meanwhile, the star of the show is clutching a script inside the break room.与此同时，众人口中的大明星却在休息室紧紧地攥着一份演讲稿。
UndineWe offer our most sincere well wishes to all of Magrasea... and now... the Christmas parade will officially begin...为麦戈拉献上……我们真挚的祝福……圣诞巡演正式开始……
Undine(Exhales) Okay, no problem, my memory module's working fine, and I've memorized the script.呼……没问题，记忆模块运作正常，我已经将稿子背下来了。
UndineJust like before, I just need to go on stage, make a speech, take a bow, and leave...和以前一样，上台，演出，谢幕离场就好……
Undine takes a deep breath.温蒂妮深深地吸了一口气。
UndineIt's okay. It's okay. Our instruments have been tuned, our clothes are in perfect condition, and everything's ready.没事的，没事的。乐器调试完毕了……服装和仪态也已经是完美的状态，一切都准备就绪。
UndineI wonder how Choco's preparations are going... I couldn't help at all... If we can't finish...不知道巧可那边准备得怎么样了……我完全帮不上忙……如果完不成的话……
UndineNo, I need to do my best, or else everyone's good intentions and hard work will go to waste... Hm? Why are my hands shaking so badly?不行，必须要呈现最完美的效果，不然就白费了大家的心意和努力了……咦，我的手为什么会抖得这么厉害？
Undine looks at her trembling hands.温蒂妮看着自己微微颤抖的手。
UndineThis might affect the performance... That's right, I should run a neural cloud self-diagnostic...这样会影响到演出的……对了，进行一下心智自测……
系统[Neural Cloud Diagnostic Commencing] Mild overload detected. Cause: Excessive tension.【心智检查开始】轻度过载……原因：过度紧张。
UndineTension... I... What should I do? This is the first time I've ever felt tense on stage... No, I should search for "how to relieve tension".紧张……我……怎么办，这是第一次在上台之前紧张……不行，查一下资料《如何缓解紧张》。
Upon seeing an entire gallery of weird little tricks to ease stress, Undine feels her hands shaking harder instead.看着琳琅满目的缓解紧张小秘诀，温蒂妮感觉自己手抖得更厉害了。
UndineWhy is there so much information here... Maybe I should narrow my search down. I'll search for "how to relieve stage fright".怎么会有这么多信息啊……缩小一下范围吧。查一下《如何在上台演出前缓解紧张》。
UndineUm... "Before going on stage, write the hanzi for "man" on your palm as many times as there are people in the audience, and then eat it..." Is this how humans relieve their stress? How strange...嗯……上台前有多少观众就在手心里写多少个人字然后吃下去……人类缓解紧张的方式……真奇怪啊。
Even as Undine mutters this to herself, she begins rapidly scribbling the characters on her palm.温蒂妮嘴上一边说，却又一边在手心飞快地写着人字。
UndineAlmost there... Alright... Nom...差不多了……啊……呜……
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Chief!)（老大！）

嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (We, hope, chief, happy!)（我们，老大，开心，希望！）

The aides produce an exquisite gift box from behind their backs.僚机们从身后取出了一个精致的礼物盒。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (For you, chief, for you, chief!)（老大，收下，老大，收下！）
UndineYou... When did you prepare this...你们……什么时候准备的……
Undine accepts the box, a somewhat dazed expression on her face.温蒂妮有些呆滞地接过了礼物盒。

UndineBut where did you get the money for a present... Hm?不过你们哪来的钱准备礼物呢……嗯？
A familiar object sits quietly inside the lavish box.精致的礼物盒中，一个熟悉的物件静静地躺在盒子里。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Merry Christmas, chief!)（老大，圣诞，快乐！）
UndineThis... Isn't this the star from the Christmas tree?这……这不是圣诞树上的圣诞星吗？
UndineDid you take down the chocolate star that Choco made...你们不会是把巧可做的巧克力圣诞星拆……
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Negative, negative.)（否定，否定。）
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Repaired.)（修复。）
UndineYou fixed the Christmas Star? So this is... the star that Choco and I broke?修复了圣诞星？所以这是……一开始那颗被我和巧可打碎了的圣诞星？
UndineDid you fix it?是你们修复的吗？

UndineMiss Hubble and Miss Fresnel... So they helped you, then?赫波阁下，菲涅尔阁下……原来是她们帮助了你们吗？

嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Noise, up ahead.)（前方，声音。）

The aides immediately move toward the source of the sound in unison, and the closer they get, the clearer it becomes.众僚机立刻顺着声音的方向齐步走去，随着靠近目标，声音也越来越清晰。
HubbleThe data's normal, although the speed decreases after miniaturization... Still, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong... Hm?数据一切正常，虽然小型化后速度下降……但是似乎没有什么问题……嗯？
Hubble is busy recording some kind of data on the roof of the observatory when she looks up and sees four little heads peering from around a corner.正在天文台屋顶记录着什么数据的赫波抬起头，看到了四个从拐角处探出头来的小脑袋。
HubbleAre you... the girls following Undine around?你们是……温蒂妮身边的那几个孩子？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (ID: Hubble, found.)（ID，赫波，发现。）

HubbleFresnel! Are you alright?菲涅尔！没事吧？
Fresnel(Whimpers) Ow... I guess this plan was a bit too much...呜呜呜……好痛……果然这个方案有些太勉强了……
FresnelI should ask the Engineering Department to tweak it. For safety's sake, we should use a broom for tomorrow's show...之后还是拜托工程局调整一下吧，明天的演出保险起见还是用扫帚比较好……
Fresnel gets up and dusts herself off before going up to pinch Hubble's face.菲涅尔站起身拍了拍身上的尘土，然后走上前捏住了赫波的脸。
FresnelWhy didn't you answer when I was calling for help? Didn't we agree that you'd help keep an eye on my telemetry? I thought you'd fallen asleep again!为什么我一开始呼救的时候没有回答啊，说好的帮我监视好数据呢？我还以为你又睡着了！

HubbleYou want me to make another Christmas Star?你们希望我再制作一颗圣诞星吗？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative.)（肯定。）
HubbleHm... Unfortunately, making each star requires a huge amount of energy, so I don't think there's a way to make another one in addition to the one in the Oasis Plaza.嗯……但是很遗憾哦，每一颗星星的铸就都需要巨大的能量，所以除了绿洲广场的那颗之外，应该是没有办法再制作一颗了。
FresnelThe materials for that star were very special, too. We had to do a lot of research to get it to work that way... Hm? Hubble, you can actually communicate with them?那颗圣诞星的材料也非常特殊，我们可是研究了好久才能实现那样的效果……诶？赫波你居然可以和她们交流吗？
HubbleHehe, perhaps their wish for a star helped me to understand them.呵呵，可能是这些孩子对星星的追求让我理解了她们的意思吧。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Materials?)（材料？）
HubbleYup. That star was made of many small stars put together. The little stars can even play back the wishes of everyone in the Oasis.嗯，那颗星星是由大量的小星星汇聚而成的哦，小星星还能够发出绿洲中大家的祈愿。

HubbleHehehe, maybe you should tell us where and how you found this.呵呵呵，大家还是先告诉我是在哪里捡到星星的吧。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Plaza, by accident.)（广场，意外。）
HubbleI see, so you heard a strange sound and then these stars hit you?原来如此，在广场上听到奇怪的声音……然后就被星星砸中了吗？
FresnelLooks like something smashed the star in the plaza. (Sigh) In that case, the Professor's surprise...看来广场上的星星应该是被什么东西打碎了。唉……这样的话，教授准备的惊喜……

HubbleAnd you want to give Undine the star to cheer her up?大家是想要送温蒂妮星星让温蒂妮打起精神来吗？
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Affirmative.)（肯定。）
HubbleI understand. Let me handle the Christmas star, then.我明白了，圣诞星就交给我来修复吧。
FresnelHubble, you do know it took us a week to make that star, right?赫波，你可是花费了一周时间才做好了这颗圣诞星啊。
HubbleYes, but we could cut that down by a lot if we could recover these fragments.如果能把这些碎片回收的话，应该能大幅度缩短制作的时间吧。
FresnelBut...但是……
HubbleI can't just ignore someone who's chasing a star in their heart.对于追逐自己心中星星的人，我没法视而不见。
HubbleThat star is everyone's wishes put together, so I'm sure that star will help Undine, too.这颗星星是将大家的祈愿凝聚在一起而生，那么这颗星星也一定会希望能够帮助温蒂妮的。

Upon seeing the resolve in Hubble's eyes. Fresnel can't help but sigh.看着赫波坚定的眼神，菲涅尔不由得叹了一口气。
FresnelYou always had that look on your face whenever you and Professor Vera got a new idea into your heads, be it the cosmic holoprojector or the LED starcharts that covered the entire institute... (Sigh)每一次你和薇拉博士有着什么新的想法时都是这样的表情。太空投影仪，环绕整个研究所的星空灯……唉……
FresnelSince I can't stop you and I have no reason to stop you, I might as well pitch in.反正也阻止不了你，也没有理由阻止，我也来帮忙吧。
FresnelAlthough you'll need to gather the star pieces first, I'll go with these girls to get them.不过首先得把星星的碎片收集一下，我和这些孩子一起去把碎片收集回来吧。
HubbleHehehe, thank you, Fresnel.呵呵呵，谢谢你，菲涅尔。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Thank you, thank you.)（感谢，感谢。）

HubbleThe Professor's heart is as broad as the Milky Way. I'm sure they'll understand.教授有着宛如银河一般的内心，一定会理解我们的。
HubbleAs for the star... Perhaps a new star will descend soon enough and adorn the Christmas tree for us.至于星星嘛……或许很快就会有一颗新的星星降临，帮我们装饰圣诞树哦。
嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Last night, collected, fragments.)（昨晚，收集，碎片。）

嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Morning, obtained, star.)（上午，取回，星星。）

嘀嘀嘀哔哔——Dididi, beep— (Sorry, chief.)（老大，对不起。）

UndineAs for the star... No wonder Miss Hubble looked like she knew all about it and even said the star had become a shooting star to fulfill someone else's wish.星星吗……难怪赫波阁下仿佛早就知道，还说圣诞星化为流星去实现别人的愿望了。
UndinePfft... Hahahahaha...噗……哈哈哈哈哈……

UndineThat's right... I'm not alone out there on stage; I'll be with these girls. I don't need to overthink this. Just like these kids, I should express my wishes to everyone in the simplest and most direct way possible.没错……我不是一个人站在舞台之上，而是和这帮孩子们一起。不需要考虑太多，和这些孩子们一样，用最直接的方式将自己的祈愿传递给大家就好。

WillowThe address and the music came together so well... Listening to the instruments was like hearing the scenes described by her words...致词和音乐相互结合……听着乐器发出的声音，仿佛致词中描绘的场景就在眼前一般……
WillowSo this is Undine's ceremonial orchestra... No, wait, why am I spacing out?这就是温蒂妮仪仗乐团……不对！我在发什么呆啊！
Willow raises her camera and takes a rapid series of pictures of Undine, who is standing in the center of the plaza, capturing every moment of the Reindeer Ensemble.薇洛儿端起相机，对着广场中心的温蒂妮快速抓拍，抓取驯鹿合奏团的每一个瞬间。
ChelseaYou know, I always thought Dolce and the others were dumb little dorks, but they're actually pretty cool when they're doing a show...本来以为多莉她们平时笨笨的，没想到演出的时候这么帅气……
The music plays, the band moves in sync and the melody flows.齐鸣的管乐，整齐的动作，律动的节奏。
As she watches how everyone is fascinated by the music, Undine smiles and twirls the baton in her hand. The fluttering banner attached to it draws everyone's attention.看着大家被音乐所吸引，温蒂妮微微一笑，舞动手中的指挥杖，旗帜伴随着音乐的节奏抓住了每一个观众的眼球。
ChocoWas... Was that the move from Jiangyu that I was trying to copy yesterday...这……这不是我昨天模仿绛雨瞎做的动作吗……
ChocoHehehe... I didn't think Undine would work it into her routine, too.嘿嘿嘿……没想到温蒂妮把这个也加入了表演中。
WillowGood, good, this is a good angle...不错不错，这个角度好……
WillowHm? What's that...咦？那是什么……
Through her camera lens, Willow notices something like faint starlight falling from behind the Christmas tree.透过镜头，薇洛儿发现圣诞树后面似乎有淡淡的星光落下。
WillowHuh? Everyone, look at the sky!诶？大家快看天上！
Choco turns to where Willow is looking.巧可顺着薇洛儿所说的方向看去。
ChocoHm? Isn't... isn't that the Santa Claus I saw yesterday?咦？那……不是我昨天看到的圣诞老人吗……
ChelseaSanta Claus riding a broom? No, that's not right. It's not Santa Claus.圣诞老人骑着扫帚？不，不对，不是圣诞老人。
A lovely figure is seated on the broom in question.一个俏丽的身影端坐在扫帚之上。
DushevnayaIt's Hubble! Hubble's riding a broom!是赫波！坐在扫帚上的是赫波！
Hubble sails overhead, scattering motes of stardust over the audience, which illustrate lovely images in time with the melody of the music.赫波骑着扫帚带着片片星光划过众人的头顶，伴随着音乐的律动在观众的头顶用星光画出美丽的图案。
DushevnayaWow! It's so pretty!哇啊！好漂亮啊！
Upon seeing that everyone's attention is now directed to the sky, Hubble lightly holds up a huge handful of stars.见到人形们的目光已经被吸引在空中，赫波轻轻捧起一大把星星。
Amidst the glow of operands, the stars fall from Hubble's hands and dance through the sky.伴随着算量的光芒，星星从赫波手中落下，在空中飞舞起来。
KseniaThose stars are so pretty... If only I could grab one...好美丽的星星……要是能接住……
Ksenia reflexively reaches out, and one of the stars seems to hear her call and settles into her palm.科谢尼娅下意识伸出手，一颗星星仿佛听到了她的召唤一般，缓缓地落在了科谢尼娅的手中。
KseniaHuh? It actually flew over... I could sell... hm?诶？竟然真的飞过来了……这个可以卖……嗯？
KseniaThis is a star-shaped gift box!这是星星造型的礼物盒！
Upon hearing Ksenia's words, everyone reaches out to catch the falling starlight.听到科谢尼娅的话，大家都伸手去接住下落的星光。
WillowI got one, too! Is it a Christmas gift?我也拿到了！是圣诞礼物吗？
ChocoI see... So that's how she did it...原来……是用这种办法吗……
As she darts through the crowd, Hubble steers her broom in front of Choco and winks at her.穿梭在人群之中的赫波，驾驶着扫帚飞到了巧可的面前，冲着巧可眨了眨眼睛。
ChocoI didn't expect Santa Claus to be Hubble... (Sigh) No wonder the Professor didn't seem bothered about whether we saw Santa...没想到圣诞老人是赫波啊……唉……难怪教授没有怀疑我们看到圣诞老人这件事……
Choco turns to the Christmas tree again. Below it, Undine is twirling her baton, and rapid drumbeats boom forth as though welcoming Hubble.巧可再度向圣诞树望去，在那之下，温蒂妮挥舞指挥杖，密集的鼓点响起，仿佛在迎接赫波的到来一般。
UndineGifts are inextricably linked to Christmas.礼物，这是圣诞节永远无法绕过的话题。
UndineAnd now, this star-questing sorcerer has a special gift for us.而现在，逐星魔女为我们带来了特别的惊喜。
Undine holds her banner high, and Hubble scatters a large handful of stardust in response.温蒂妮高举旗帜，而赫波也适时地洒出大量星光。
WillowWow... I really didn't expect something like this...哇啊……这景象真的超乎了我的想象……
UndineLet's thank the star-questing sorcerer for her gift to us. There's no need to worry; please enjoy this gift of starlight.感谢逐星的魔女为我们带来的礼物，大家无需顾虑，好好享受这如同星光般的礼物吧。
KseniaWell, since it's for us, don't mind if I do.既然是送给我们的，那我就不客气啦。
DushevnayaIs this... a gingerbread man?这是……姜饼人？
Each gift box contains an exquisitely-made gingerbread man. Dushevnaya picks hers up and pops it into her mouth.礼盒之中是一包精致的姜饼人。杜莎妮拿起一块姜饼送入口中。
Crunch—the texture is nothing like a traditional gingerbread man. As the millefeuille-like cookie breaks apart, rich chocolate syrup flows out of it.咔嚓，和传统姜饼完全不一样的口感。宛如千层酥一般的姜饼被咬开，浓厚的巧克力酱从姜饼中流出。
DushevnayaThis chocolate smells great! ...Hm?巧克力好香！……嗯？
安吉拉？I hope everyone will be happy and healthy in the days to come.希望大家都能健康、愉快地度过未来的时光。
DushevnayaWas that Angela's voice?安吉拉的声音？
Dushevnaya looks around, but she doesn't see Angela.杜莎妮环顾四周，却没有看到安吉拉的身影。
DushevnayaCould it be...难道说是……
ChelseaA voice... I heard a voice!声音……我听到了声音！
HelixI heard it too... Only this time, it was Banxsy's voice. You can hear everyone's voices when you eat the gingerbread men!我也听到了……这是坂口希的声音。吃下姜饼人的时候就可以听到大家的声音！
WillowCould these be the voices that the Professor had us record...这些难道是教授让我们录下的祈愿……
KseniaI hope my stream becomes No. 1 in Magrasea... This HAS to be Kuro's wish! How come you got bleeped while making a wish?!让我的直播间火穿麦戈拉……这绝对是卡萝的愿望吧！为什么你许愿的时候还能被消音啊！
YelenaSo Miss Millau's wish is to eat all kinds of food... Pfft...米约尓小姐的愿望都是各种各样的食物……噗……
MillauAhhhhhhhh don't say it out loud!啊啊啊啊啊！不要念出来啊！
WillowHm... This one is mine. Hahaha, hearing my own wish does seem kind of strange.咦……这一块是我自己的，哈哈哈，听到自己的愿望还真是奇妙的感觉。
DushevnayaPffftt... hahaha...噗……哈哈哈哈哈……
ChocoHow is it, is it good?怎么样，好吃吗？
DushevnayaVery good! It's very fun, too! Is this your Christmas dessert, Choco?非常好吃！非常有趣！这就是巧可的圣诞节点心吗？
ChocoHehehe, I call them Wishing Gingerbread Cookies. They've got everyone's voices baked into them using operands, and if you take a bite, you'll be able to hear their wishes... It's a dessert that you can only find in Magrasea—in the Oasis.嘿嘿嘿，这叫做星愿姜饼哦。用算量把大家的声音注入姜饼人的夹心，只要咬下一口就可以听到大家的愿望……这是只有在麦戈拉，在绿洲才能品尝到的点心。
DushevnayaOmnomnomnom... Ah, this one has Miss Nanaka's voice in it.啊呜……啊，这一次是七花小姐的声音。
KuroPlease, please, please! Trade me for a Nanaka cookie, I'll exchange you one of mine for it!跪求换一个七花花愿望的姜饼！我可以拿我自己的换！
KseniaYour wish probably won't sell...你的愿望大概是卖不出去的……
As she sees the look of satisfaction on Dushevnaya's face, Choco relaxes as well.看着杜莎妮满足的表情，巧可也放松下来。
ChocoEhehehe, it's a great success!嘿嘿嘿，大成功！
A series of rapid drumbeats draws everyone's attention back to the center of the stage.一阵轻快的鼓声，让大家的目光再一次汇聚在舞台中央。
UndineOur gathered wishes have become the stars in the sky, and our star-questing sorcerer has brought them back to the mortal world, gifting us with blessings and heartfelt intentions.聚集的祈愿化为了漫天的繁星，而逐星的魔女又带着它们回到了人间，为大家带去祝福和心意。
Hubble slowly lands near the Christmas tree and winks to Choco.赫波缓缓降落在圣诞树附近，冲着巧可眨了眨眼睛。
UndineOf course, there's a certain confectioner who helped us bring the stars down to earth.当然，除了逐星的魔女外，还有一位奇妙的甜点师帮助我们一起将星星带回了人间。
Ka-click. Before Choco can react, the spotlights are now shining on her.啪嗒，还没等巧可反应过来，聚光灯已经照亮在巧可的身上。
Undine looks at Choco and Hubble, and then at the audience before her. She studies these people who were once unfamiliar to her or whom she was once on guard against.温蒂妮看着巧可和赫波，又看向面前的观众们。看着眼前这些曾经不熟悉，或者是自己曾经戒备的人们。
UndineAnd now, I'd like to share a message from the Reindeer Ensemble.而现在，我想代表驯鹿合奏团献上我们的心意。
UndineThank you, everyone.谢谢大家。
Undine bows deeply to the gathered Dolls.温蒂妮深深地向人群们鞠了一躬。
UndineThank you. Thank you for accepting us and letting the Oasis become our home.感谢你们。感谢你们接纳了我们，让绿洲成为了我们的家。
UndineI'm grateful that we met here. I'm grateful that we've gotten to know each other, and I'm grateful for the time we spent together.感谢我们在这里相遇，感谢我们在这里相识，感谢我们一起度过的时光。
UndineTherefore, I'd like to sing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" with you to show our gratitude for the year we've spent together, and to welcome the new one.所以，我想和大家一起用一首《We Wish You A Merry Christmas》感谢过去的一年，并且迎接新的一年的到来。
Ethereal and regal music fills the air.轻快而又神圣的音乐响起。
ChelseaAh, Angela taught us this song before!啊！这首歌安吉拉有教过我们！
MillauYou've got to have this song for Christmas!果然说到圣诞节就是这首歌啊！
KuroWhere's Nanaka? I want a clean recording!七花花在哪里！我要录无损音源！
The gifts, the gingerbread men, and everyone's wishes blend in with Undine's performance, and the Dolls lose themselves in the festive spirit.礼物，姜饼人，大家的祈愿与温蒂妮的演出融合，让人形们都沉浸在了节日气氛之中。
ProfessorWhew... looks like another peaceful Christmas.呼……看来这一次圣诞节总算是和平度过了。
As I watch the Dolls enjoy the gingerbread men and have fun on the plaza, I can't help but sigh in relief.看着广场上一边享受着姜饼人一边欢腾的人形们，我不由得松了一口气。
Professor...Although this is nothing like the original program that was planned.……虽然一开始定下的演出已经被改得面目全非了。
HubbleJust as gathered wishes rise to fill the starry skies, the stars become shooting stars and bring everyone a surprise.聚集的祈愿会化为漫天的繁星，繁星又化为流星为大家带来了惊喜。
HubbleWhile this might be different from how the Christmas star was supposed to convey everyone's wishes, this sparkling starry night has its own unique flavor to it.虽然和之前圣诞星传递给大家心愿的方式有所不同，但是这样闪耀的星空也别有一番滋味。
ProfessorHm? What are you doing here, Hubble?咦？赫波你怎么来了？
HubbleYou asked me to hand stars out to everyone, Professor.教授交给我的任务是将星星传递到每一个人的手中。
HubbleNaturally, that would include you, too.那么，教授自然也在这个范围之中啊。
Hubble produces a uniquely-wrapped pouch from her broom's saddlebags.赫波从安放在扫帚的包裹中取出了一个独特包装的小袋子。
HubbleThis is your star, Professor.这是属于教授的星星哦。
ProfessorWhen did you...你是什么时候……
HubbleHehehe, it wasn't my work alone. Everyone in the Oasis made it for you.呵呵呵，这不是我一个人的功劳哦，是绿洲的大家一起为教授准备的。
ProfessorWell, what can I say?还真是败给你们了。
I open the box and find a gingerbread cookie that looks just like me.我打开礼物盒，里头静静地躺着一块和我造型神似的姜饼人。
HubbleThey say gingerbread men were originally made in the form of honored guests, as a surprise from the host.据说姜饼人原本就是制作成贵客外貌的姜饼，是主人为客人带来的惊喜。
HubbleAnd it's also said that gingerbread cookies carry the wishes of people, conveying gratitude and wishes to those whom you treasure.也有人说姜饼是承载人们心愿的载体，为自己重要的人传递谢意和心愿。
HubbleThis piece is the Wishing Gingerbread Cookie we all made for you. We hope you like it, Professor.而这一块，就是我们为教授专门准备的星愿姜饼，希望教授能够喜欢。
ProfessorHow could I not like a gift that you made?你们的礼物，我又怎么可能会不喜欢呢。
I take the gingerbread cookie from the box, and slowly crunch it in my mouth...我从盒子里将姜饼取出，缓缓送入口中轻轻地咬开……
人形们的声音Merry Christmas, Professor/Commander/Boss/Chief/Master!教授/指挥官/Boss/长官/主人，圣诞快乐！
Episode 15 第15节
Read this chapter with voices →AntoninaProfessor, welcome to the Abax Gallery. Thanks to the hard work of the Technical and Engineering Departments, we've finally managed to complete the combat simulation system that you and Instructor Python proposed.教授，欢迎来到沙盘回廊。在技术局和工程局的努力之下，教授和派森教官提议的作战模拟系统终于正式完成了。
ProfessorI'm kind of surprised by how polished it is. Was the area we're standing in generated by this system as well?这个完成度有些出乎我的意料。现在我们所在的区域就是利用这个系统生成的吗？
AntoninaIndeed. The Abax Gallery contains large amounts of environmental and facility data, and even data pertaining to the enemies we've encountered in the past.没错。沙盘回廊中输入了大量的数据，这些数据包含了环境，设施，甚至是我们至今为止遭遇过的敌人们。
AntoninaThe Abax Gallery analyzes this data and then puts it together. This allows Dolls training in it to experience different environments and regions and face a variety of enemies, which ought to help improve the Dolls' fighting power and their adaptability.沙盘回廊会分析这些数据，并且进行组合。以供参与训练的人形在不同的环境、区域面对形形色色的敌人，提升人形们的战斗力和反应能力。
ProfessorThat's a lot of data... It seems you input just about all the data collected by the Oasis into it.这个庞大的数据量……看来是把绿洲在麦戈拉收集到的数据都输入进去了啊。
AntoninaOh yes, the Technical Department spent a lot of time uploading all that data, and we're still updating it as more comes in. You'd better repay everyone with a nice long vacation; we deserve it.是啊，技术局为了录入这些数据耗费了大量的时间，而且这些数据还会持续更新。教授再不给大家好好放个假，可说不过去了啊。
ProfessorAhem... There'll be vacations in store, yes. Still, let's go back to the topic of the Abax Gallery.咳……假期会有的。不过我们还是回到沙盘回廊的话题上吧。
ProfessorWe can use enemy data to simulate battles against them. But how can you simulate the randomness of regional exploration within a confined space?我们可以利用敌方单位的数据来进行模拟作战，但在有限的空间内怎样体现区域探索的随机性呢？
AntoninaThat would be thanks to the core function of the Abax Gallery. Once the Dolls finish exploring the current zone, it will randomly generate three new exploration zones for everyone to choose from.这个就是我要介绍的沙盘回廊的核心功能了。沙盘回廊会在人形完成当前区域的探索后，随机生成三个新的探索区域来供大家选择。
AntoninaThese zones include Conflict Zones, Rest Zones, Collection Zones and other such regions. This allows the Abax Gallery to simulate different, random exploration routes depending on the decisions made by the participants.这些区域包含了作战，恢复，采集等不同的功能。根据大家选择的不同和随机出的区域不同，就可以模拟出不同的探索路线了。
ProfessorSo that's how you simulate exploring an entire sector in a finite space? Well done, Antonina. A most elegant solution.用这种方式在有限的空间里模拟出广域探索的效果吗？不愧是安冬妮娜，非常有效率的方案。
AntoninaFlattery will get you nowhere. How about an actual reward instead?夸我也是没有好处的。不如给我点实质性的奖励。
AntoninaAlso, I followed Instructor Python's suggestion and added a scoring system to the Abax Gallery, for record-keeping and evaluation. In general, the more zones you successfully explore, the higher your score will be.在派森教官的提议下，我们在沙盘回廊中增加了积分系统，用于记录和评估。理论上成功探索的区域越多，积分越高。
AntoninaAlso, to properly simulate realistic battle conditions, these regions will also inflict Neural Strain on Dolls. Therefore, while you can explore the Abax Gallery forever, we still do not recommend that you do so while hurt or overworked.但是为了还原最真实的作战环境，这些区域也会对人形造成心智承压。因此，虽然沙盘回廊可以无限探索，但是还是希望大家在不要受伤或者过劳的状态下进行训练。
ProfessorI get the feeling you'll need to emphasize that point to Sol, otherwise she might really forget about that...感觉这一点你得和苏尔强调一下，她可能真的会忘记……
AntoninaI've already hammered that point into the skulls of the usual gang of troublemakers. Of course, we also have emergency services on standby to extract Dolls whose Neural Strain levels are too high. After all, the fact that the Abax Gallery is a simulated training area means that you can withdraw from any region you're currently in.那几个不太省心的我已经提前叮嘱过了。当然我也已经安排好了救护这些心智承压过高的人形的后手——因为沙盘回廊是模拟训练，所以可以在任何区域撤离出沙盘回廊。
AntoninaAnd of course, we've also made provisions for changing team compositions in the Rest Zones. That way, you can deploy different people to respond to changes in the battle environment.当然为了应对突发情况，以及模拟战场中的人员调配。我们为小队在休整区提供了调整队伍的机会。可以针对接下来的战场环境对人员进行重新调配。
AntoninaIf an emergency does come up, you can also pause the training session and log the relevant information in the Abax Gallery. That way, you can load this data and continue with the training session next time.如果发生了紧急情况，也可以暂时停止训练，将训练数据记录在沙盘回廊中。下一次可以读取这部分数据，继续训练。
ProfessorA most thoughtful arrangement. Thank you, Antonina.非常贴心的设置，辛苦了安冬妮娜。
AntoninaOh yes, we've also implemented a coordinate warp system into the command suite. You can use this system on the battlefield to swap the positions of two teams.对了。在指挥系统中我们为教授准备了坐标跳跃系统。通过这个系统，教授可以在战场上将两支队伍的位置进行交换。
AntoninaHowever, you'll have to explore the nuances of this system yourself. After all, the usage condition of that system is the ability to simultaneously command two Doll teams and familiarity with the command suite. Currently, you're the only one in the Oasis who can do that.不过具体效果如何还需要教授您亲自参与和摸索了。毕竟该项系统的使用条件是能够同时指挥两支队伍和熟练地使用指挥系统。目前绿洲中能做到这件事的也只有教授了。
AntoninaAlso, please refrain from using this function to prank others.不过，请教授务必不要使用这个功能进行恶作剧。
AntoninaMysterious, suspicious, devious and universally reviled?神神秘秘，鬼鬼祟祟，诡计多端，树敌无数？
What kind of impression do you have of me, anyway?在你心中我到底是一个什么形象？
Why don't we give it a try right now?要不我们现在就来试一试吧。
AntoninaBy all means, please play with yourself. I'll be more than happy to cover the Oasis with recordings of your disgraceful state.要玩请你一个人玩，我很乐意用录像把教授的糗样公布出去。
AntoninaIn any case, the rest is up to you, Professor. I hope you'll live up to the expectations of the Technical and Engineering Departments.总之，接下来就交给教授了。请务必不要辜负技术局和工程局全体智能体的期望。
ProfessorUnderstood. Time to put the Abax Gallery through its paces.明白了，就让我实地考察一下沙盘回廊吧。
