Homeward Search 故土寻踪

I am a toy dog, and my name is Doggy No. 1.吾辈是只玩具狗，名字嘛，就叫狗狗1号。

Unlike that cat which doesn't even know where it's from, I know full well who my master is, and what I ought to be doing.与那只不知道自己从哪里来的猫不同，吾辈非常清楚自己的主人是谁，也知道自己应该去做些什么。

For instance, I am currently accompanying my master in search of lost toys in Burbank.比如现在，吾辈就正陪同主人们在伯班克扇区寻找一些遗失在此的玩具。

LewisDoggy No. 1, did you find something?狗狗1号，你发现什么线索了吗？

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

Allow me to introduce this lavishly dressed Doll before us to everyone: she is Lady Lewis, my noble master, and the owner of said lost toys.向各位介绍下，眼前身着华服的人形正是吾辈值得骄傲的现主人刘易斯，同时也是那批玩具的失主。

As for her job... Apparently, she's a toy designer? Then again, it seems that the Master is also very good at fighting.职业嘛……据她所说是玩具设计师来着？但是，主人又好像很擅长作战的样子……

Ugh... I don't get it!唔……搞不懂！

狗狗1号Dinergate...兵蚁……

ProfessorDoggy No. 1, don't run too fast!狗狗1号，小心点别跑太快了！

ProfessorSpeaking of which, Lewis, why does that toy doggy of yours make such strange sounds?说起来刘易斯，为什么你的玩具狗的叫声那么奇怪……

ProfessorNormally, a Stevens-type mecha-hound ought to be going "awoo" or "arf arf," right?正常来讲斯蒂芬机械犬不是应该是呜呜，或者是汪汪叫才对吗？

LewisAhahahaha... Well, it seems I accidentally crossed some wires with its perception module while fixing its vocalizer modules, so now the only sound it can make is "Dinergate!"啊哈哈哈……好像是我之前修改发声模块的时候，不小心把它和认知模块搞混了，导致它现在只会“兵蚁！”这样的叫。

LewisI'll tweak it a little once we get back to the Oasis.等回到绿洲之后我会再调节一下的。

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

The person beside my embarrassed-looking master is the Professor of the Oasis, who came here with my master at her request.在满脸尴尬的主人身旁的则是绿洲的教授，是受主人之托一起跟来的人。

My master and I managed to get here successfully thanks to the Professor's help.多亏了的帮助，吾辈和主人才能顺利抵达这里。

If only I had a tongue, I would pounce on the Professor and eagerly lick their face in gratitude.要是吾辈有舌头的话，现在都想扑到身上使劲舔的脸颊表达谢意了。

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

LewisHmm~ So the scent of the toys is coming from this direction? Okay, got it!诶~玩具的气味是往这个方向吗？好的我明白了！

My master takes up her weapon and beckons the Professor to search in the direction I indicated.主人拿起自己的武器，招呼着教授一起往吾辈所指的方向搜索。

However... there are some things I do not understand about these lost toys.不过，说到这批遗失的玩具……吾辈其实还有不能理解的地方。

The way I see it, the lost toys are cheap items, objects which my master, a toymaker can easily make in large quantities.在吾辈看来，这些遗失的玩具基本上都是的便宜货，是身为玩具设计师的主人可以轻松制作量产的存在。

But for some reason, Master seems to care a lot for them, even going as far as to bring me and the Professor all the way here to search for them... Mm, I truly do not understand.但不知为何，主人却对它们格外关心，甚至还带着吾辈和教授专程跑到这里来寻找……唔，吾辈实在是想不明白。

...In any case, all this is not something I should be pondering. As Master's loyal toy doggy, my duty is to aid the Master in order to repay her kindness.……总之这些不是吾辈应该考虑的事情，身为主人的玩具小狗，吾辈当下的职责就是帮助主人回报她的恩情。

That makes my footsteps quicken a little as I use my stubby feet to run ahead and show her the way.想到这，吾辈的脚步又不由加快几分，努力用自己的小短腿跑到主人面前替她指路。

狗狗1号Dinergate-dinergate!兵蚁兵蚁！

LewisMhm! Do your best, Doggy No. 1!嗯嗯！狗狗1号，加油哦！

ProfessorAlthough I was a little on edge the first time I saw it, I'm slowly starting to appreciate its cuteness after spending some time around it.虽然一开始看到它的时候下意识有些防备，但一段时间的相处后，我也能渐渐感受到它的可爱之处了。

ProfessorIt's such a smart little toy doggy. I didn't expect you to have such a good helper with you, Lewis.真是聪明的玩具小狗啊。刘易斯，没想到你还有这样的好帮手。

The Professor bends down and pats my head in praise. Yes, go on, praise me more, it's totally fine!蹲下身抚摸吾辈的头表示夸赞。嗯，其实多夸夸吾辈也是可以的哦！

ProfessorOh? You know I'm praising you? It's as though there's a neural cloud inside that body of yours...哦？能知道我在夸你吗？这种表现简直就像是有心智在这个躯体里一样……

LewisHehe~ I guess you noticed, Professor~嘿嘿~被教授注意到了啊~

LewisI specially upgraded Doggy No. 1. Apart from clocking up its processing power, I gave it an olfactory module befitting a dog!狗狗1号是经过我特别改装升级的的哦。我加快了它的心智运算，并且还额外添加了符合狗狗的嗅觉模块！

LewisSee! It turned out to be useful in this search!您看，这次搜索行动刚好就派上用场了呢！

ProfessorOh? Well done, Lewis!哦？那还真是很厉害啊！

ProfessorThat said, is installing such modules part of your skillset as a toy designer?不过话说回来，这些模块的加装也是你作为玩具设计师的技能吗？

LewisOf course. Don't you look down on toys, okay, Professor? Modern toys are totally different from the kind you may have encountered in the past.当然啦。教授您可不要小看现在的玩具哦？现在的玩具可比您以前接触的那些大有不同了！

LewisFor instance...就比如说……

Now that the Master's gotten started, she begins chattering about things I do not understand.主人的话匣子一下打开，开始自顾自地说些吾辈完全听不懂的东西。

For instance, that "neural cloud" thing she mentioned just now. What is a neural cloud? Did Master install it in me while making repairs?就比如说刚刚提到心智。心智是什么？是主人给吾辈修理时所装的东西吗？

Hm... If there really was a Doll's neural cloud in my body, would they feel very miserable, to the point where they would want to kill themselves?唔……如果真的有人形的心智在吾辈这样的身体里，不会觉得自己很倒霉，郁闷到想要一了百了吗？

After all, stubby legs like mine are really inconvenient for running or jumping... Eh, hopefully no Doll will be unlucky enough to get stuck in a body like this.毕竟那么短的腿，无论是跑起来还是跳起来都很不方便……算了，希望不会真的有这样的倒霉人形吧。

ProfessorStill, even with an olfactory module installed, finding those lost toys isn't exactly a walk in the park either.不过即使是加装了嗅觉模块，要找回那批遗失的玩具也不是件容易的事情啊。

LewisYeah... the Burbank Sector was already large to begin with and the area we're in was partially Entropized too. Many of the buildings were consumed by the Entropy and the previous maps don't match up anymore.是啊……本来伯班克的面积就很大，我们所在的区域还受到了熵化的影响，很多建筑已经被熵侵蚀殆尽了，之前的地图也没办法识别了。

ProfessorPretty much all the agents here have evacuated, and even Meryl doesn't know exactly what's going on in this part of the sector. We need to be careful when moving and avoid Entropic attacks.这里的智能体基本都已经撤离了，就算是梅丽尔对这片区域的情况也不甚了解，我们寻找的途中也要小心行进，避免遭到熵的袭击比较好。

狗狗1号Awoo...呜……

The Professor's words remind me of my inadequacy once again.教授的话再一次让吾辈想到了自己的失职。

LewisHah... Hah... Why did we run into Entropics here... It was safe when we passed through just now...呼、呼……怎么会在这种地方遇到熵……明明之前经过的时候还很安全……

LewisDoggy No. 1, are you alright?狗狗1号，你没事吧？

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

LewisThank goodness, I'm glad you're okay... Let's go, we'll head to the Oasis and meet up with everyone!太好了，你没受伤就好……走吧，去往绿洲和大家汇合吧！

LewisI wonder if the people in the Oasis will like the toys I brought... huh?不知道绿洲的大家会不会喜欢我带的这些玩具呢……诶？

Master, who had just calmed down, suddenly started panicking again.方才恢复镇定的主人一下变得慌张起来。

LewisEh? Ehhhhhhhh?诶？诶诶诶诶诶诶？

LewisThat's strange! Where did all my toys go? Did you see them, Doggy No. 1?奇怪了！那些我随身带着的玩具去哪了？狗狗1号有看到吗？

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

Lewis...You didn't see them either? This is bad, what should I do...……你也没看到吗？这下麻烦了，到底该怎么才好……

As I looked at the Master's crestfallen face, my heart could not help from turning anxious too.面对着失落的主人，吾辈的内心中也不免变得焦急起来。

Naturally, turning back to search for those toys was the first thing that occurred to me, but given Master's and my stamina, things would have been dangerous if we encountered those Entropics again.眼下折返回去寻找玩具自然是脑海中浮现的第一选择，但如果再遇到那些熵的话，以主人和吾辈现在的体力恐怕会陷入危险之中。

In that case, the sensible option would be to...那么，剩下的稳妥选择就是……

狗狗1号Dinergate-dinergate!兵蚁兵蚁！

LewisHuh? Doggy No. 1, why did you drag that map over?诶？狗狗1号你拖来地图是做什么？

Lewis...The Oasis? You mean we should go to the Oasis first?……绿洲？你的意思是先去绿洲吗？

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

LewisBut if we do that, we might lose our clues by the time we come back...可是那样做的话，再折返回来会不会失去线索……

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

In order to prevent the Master's hesitation from making things more dangerous, I turned and ran toward the Oasis on my stubby legs.为了避免主人犹豫停留增加风险，吾辈立刻转身跑开，用自己的短腿向着绿洲的方向跑去。

LewisAh, wait! Wait for me!等等！等等我啊！

Fortunately, we did not encounter any Entropics along the way.万幸接下来的路上我们都没有遭遇熵的阻拦。

While we managed to successfully contact the Professor and ask them for help, the toys vanished without a trace by the time we came back here. There were no clues at all. It was as though they had never existed.虽然成功联系上教授寻求帮助，但等我们再赶到这里的时候，那些玩具已经消失不见，没有留下任何的线索，仿佛从未存在过一般。

...I can't help but wonder if things might be better if we had turned back immediately and searched for them.……吾辈时常会想，如果当时立刻回头去搜寻玩具的话，情况会不会比现在更好？

狗狗1号Diner...兵……

ProfessorIt's okay, Doggy No. 1, if the toys are lost, we'll just have to find them together. Isn't that right, Lewis?没关系的狗狗1号，玩具丢失了我们再一起找就是了，你说对吧，刘易斯？

LewisYup yup, that's right! Don't be sad, Doggy No. 1!嗯嗯是啊！狗狗1号，不要伤心了！

狗狗1号Dinergate...兵蚁……

ProfessorDoggy No. 1 seems a little out of it...狗狗1号看上去还是有点没精神啊……

ProfessorSpeaking of which, I don't remember you having Doggy No. 1 by your side in reality. Did you only make it after coming to the cloud?说起来我之前在现实中没见过你的身边有狗狗1号啊……刘易斯，你是在进入云端后才制造了它吗？

LewisHuh? Have we met before, Professor? Why don't I remember that...诶？我和教授之前有见过面吗？我怎么没印象了……

ProfessorAh, Ahem...! Well... Ah, yes! Actually, we just so happened to cross paths by chance! It's totally normal that you don't remember, ahaha!啊，额，那个……啊！就是曾经机缘巧合有过一面之缘啦！你不记得也很正常！啊哈哈！

LewisHm? Is that so...嗯？是这样吗……

ProfessorYes, yes, it's just that you left a deep impression on me because you're so cute!是啊是啊，因为刘易斯很可爱所以给我留下了很深的印象啦！

Master's face turned red, but she soon returned to normal and smiled while twirling a lock of her hair between her fingers.主人的脸变得通红，但很快恢复常态，摩挲着自己的刘海绽放出微笑。

LewisHehe! Thank you, Professor, you're so sweet!嘿嘿！谢谢教授的夸奖！

LewisI can't believe you remembered me after just one look... Ah, that makes me so happy!没想到教授只见过一次就记住了我……这还真是让人高兴啊！

ProfessorHa, hahaha...哈、哈哈哈……

LewisAnd as for Doggy No. 1... You're right, Professor. It was a toy I picked up from the battlefield. After modifying it, I've kept it by my side all this time.关于狗狗1号的事……教授说的没错，它是我从战场上捡回来的玩具，在修理改装后就一直留在了身边。

Professor...The battlefield? Do you mean a battlefield on Magrasea?……战场？是指麦戈拉的战场吗？

LewisThat's right. After those Entropics kept showing up, everywhere became a battlefield. I found Doggy No. 1 and the toys we're currently searching for along my way.没错。在那些熵源源不断地冒出来之后，四处都成了战场。狗狗1号，还有我们正寻找的那些玩具，都是我一路捡回来的。

LewisSome of them didn't start out as toys. They were just pieces of machinery with unknown purposes. But it would have been a shame if they got separated from their friends or owners just like that.它们有的一开始并不是玩具，只是被遗失在那里、不知是什么用途的机械。如果就这样和伙伴或者主人失散了的话，就太可怜了。

LewisSo I modified them and used this chance to give them life. I believe that someday they will find the place where they belong.于是我改装了它们，重新赋予了它们生机。我想总有一天，它们也能找到自己本来的归宿的。

The Professor, donned in white freezes up, and there is a sentimental look on their face.身着白衣的教授愣了一下，神情也随之变得悲伤。

ProfessorI see.这样啊。

LewisYup. So right now, I'm taking care of them on behalf of their owners.嗯，所以说现在是由我在代替它们的主人照顾它们。

LewisI suppose you could consider it a form of training too. It's like a trial for me as a toy designer.也算是一种修行吧，是对身为玩具设计师的我的一种考验。

ProfessorA toy designer... Lewis, have you been holding on to that dream all this time?玩具设计师……刘易斯，你还一直坚持着这个梦想吗？

LewisYup.嗯。

My master picks me up and gently wipes away the dirt on my feet.主人将吾辈抱起，小心翼翼替吾辈擦去腿上的泥土。

LewisI've always liked exquisite and cute things, whether they were clothing or accessories. I love matching items of similar styles.我从以前开始就一直喜欢精致可爱的东西，衣服也好，挂饰也好，我都喜欢同类型风格的搭配。

LewisPeople did make fun of me for liking retro stuff, but I just can't put aside my love for stuff like that... Naturally, that includes retro toys too.虽然有的时候会被其他人吐槽怀旧，但我就是架不住喜欢这些旧时代的东西……这其中自然也包含了那些复古的玩具。

LewisThanks to my gradual exposure to them, I came to find what I really wanted to do.多亏了和它们的点滴相处，我才能找到自己真正想要去做的事情。

ProfessorLewis...刘易斯……

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

I promptly interrupt them with a cry. There are more important things to do than reminisce about the past right now.吾辈立刻用叫声打断了二人的对话。比起沉浸于过去，眼下还有更重要的事情要去做。

LewisDid you find something, Doggy No. 1? Hm? What is this place?狗狗1号你发现什么了吗？嗯？这里是什么地方？

ProfessorIt looks like an abandoned storehouse... Could it be that the toys are in there?看上去像是一间废弃的仓库……难道说，玩具在这里面吗？

ProfessorUrk, this door's so badly rusted that I can't budge it.唔，这扇门生锈了推不开啊。

ProfessorLewis, let's go around and see if we can find some other way in there...刘易斯，我们绕一下看看有没有别的地方可以进去……

ProfessorLewis?刘易斯？

Master has already put down her building block sword and thrust her hands into the gap in the doorway.下一秒，主人已经放下积木大剑，将双手插入到门缝之中。

LewisProfessor, Doggy No. 1, you should step away from the door. Time for me to show my stuff!教授，狗狗1号，你们两个离门远一点。接下来就轮到我来出面解决了！

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner?!兵蚁兵？！

ProfessorCalm down, Lewis! I tried just now, the door's probably rusted shut, you won't be able to open it so...冷静点刘易斯！我刚刚试过了，这门应该是生锈卡住了不是那么容易就可以打……

LewisYEEART!唔唔唔唔！

Skreeonk—咣——

Dust falls from the entryway as Master exerts her strength. The hitherto immobile steel door trembles slightly. Even the metal plating around my stubby little feet begins to twist and warp.灰尘随着主人的发力从门上落下，原先纹丝不动的铁皮也随之开始颤抖，连同吾辈短腿周围的地面一起形变。

LewisOne more time!再来一次！

Skreeonk—咣——

This time, the door opens all the way... Or rather, it is ripped open.这一次门终于被彻底打开……不，或许用撕扯开更为合适。

The previously immovable steel door has been torn apart by Master's strength, leaving two distinct palmprints where she grabbed it. It wouldn't be strange for an observer to think some monster had forced its way in.在主人的发力之下，原先坚不可摧的铁皮已经扭曲裂开，硬生生留下了两个明显的掌印，说是被什么怪物袭击也不会令人感到意外。

Meanwhile, the architect that orchestrated this carnage simply smiles and dusts herself off, as though what had happened just now wasn't even worthy of mention.而这一切的始作俑者却只是随手拍去手上和衣服上的灰尘露出微笑，仿佛刚刚所做的只是件不值一提的小事。

LewisYay, we can go in now!好了，这下就可以进去了！

LewisWhat's the matter, you two? Cat got your tongue?怎么了你们两个，为什么愣在那里不说话了？

ProfessorNo, I was just thinking about how you were always so dynamic, no matter where you went...没什么，只是有点感慨，刘易斯你果然不管在哪里都是那个行动力满满的存在……

狗狗1号Diner-dinergate...兵兵蚁……

I nod in agreement with the Professor. Indeed, nobody is more familiar with the Master's decisiveness than I am.吾辈也附和着教授的观点上下点头。确实，主人的恐怖执行力吾辈可再清楚不过了。

When she first found me, the Master began using the tools on hand to fix me without a second word.当初捡到伤痕累累的吾辈时，主人也是二话没说，直接就用手边的工具当场修理了起来。

Her technique was most praiseworthy... Though it would have been nice if she had been a little gentler when making repairs.她的技术还是值得称赞的……不过要是维修的时候手法再温柔一点就更好了。

I can't help but shudder upon recalling that experience. Then I shake my head and follow them into the storehouse.吾辈回想起那段经历身上不由打了个寒颤，随后晃了晃脑袋，摆脱回忆跟随们进入仓库之中。

ProfessorOh? Now this is interesting.哦？这下事情变得有趣了。

ProfessorI thought this was just an abandoned storehouse, but there are signs that someone was living here.本以为这里只是个废弃仓库，没想到里面还有人生活过的痕迹。

ProfessorA skateboard, graffiti, paint, abandoned furniture... It looks just like...滑板，涂鸦，颜料，废弃的家具……这里看上去就像……

LewisAh, I get it! This must be a kid's secret base!啊！我懂了！这里是小孩子的秘密基地啊！

Master finishes the Professor's sentence.主人抢先一步说出教授所想的答案。

Indeed, what we see would make anyone think of that this was someone's secret hideout.确实，眼下的情况的确会让人联想到这里是某人的秘密基地。

Childish graffiti drawn on paper adorns the walls. The worn desk with chipped corners is piled high with plush toys and models leaning against each other, depicting a scene of someone playing house.孩童绘制的纸张涂鸦挂满墙壁，磨损缺角木桌上随意堆叠的玩偶和模型相互倚靠，俨然一副在玩过家家的姿态。

...I played like that with someone once.……吾辈曾经也和某人那么玩过。

LewisProfessor, Professor! Quickly, come look!教授教授！快来看这个！

ProfessorWhat happened? Did you find your lost toys?怎么了？是找到你丢失的玩具了吗？

Lewis...Unfortunately not. But I found something more interesting than that!……那倒没有。不过我找到了更有趣的东西！

LewisTadaaah! It's an antique model train! It's not often that you find one that's so well-preserved...锵锵！是复古的火车模型哦！保存得这么完好的可不多见啊……

LewisAhhhh! It's even got a matching rail set and platform! It's so well made!啊！这里还有搭配的铁轨和站台！还原度好高！

LewisChugga-chugga-chugga...咣当咣当咣当……

The Master picks up the model train and carefully sets it on the rails before playing with it.主人拿起模型，小心翼翼地推着它在铁轨上把玩起来。

LewisChoo-choo! Now arriving at Burbank Station!呜呜！小火车进站了！

LewisDear passengers, please have your tickets ready to show the conductor!站台边的这位乘客，请您配合出示车票哦！

ProfessorDear passenger? Ah...乘客？啊……

The Professor quickly picks up on their cue and hands a messily-scrawled ticket from the table over to the Master.教授很快心领神会，拿起一旁桌上用歪扭字体绘制出的车票递给主人。

ProfessorHere's my ticket, Miss Conductor. You'll see that everything's in order.这是我的车票，请过目。

LewisIndeed, everything is alright, Professor... No, I mean, dear passenger, welcome aboard, I'm Lewis, your conductor for this trip.确认无误，教授……不，这位乘客，欢迎您搭乘本次火车，列车长刘易斯竭诚为您服务。

LewisIf you need to alight, please signal us beforehand.如果您需要下车的话，请提前配合通知。

LewisPlease take your seats, the train is about to depart! Choo-choooo! Chugga-chugga-chugga...那么坐稳了，火车出发了！呜呜！咣当咣当咣当……

Master suddenly puts down the train she was playing with and looks excitedly at the other toys on the table.方才还在模仿火车的主人突然放下手中的模型，一脸兴奋地看向桌子旁的其余玩具。

LewisAh, there are little tin soldiers here! Looks like this secret base is worth exploring...啊这里还放有小锡兵诶！看来这个秘密基地很有值得探索的价值啊……

ProfessorLewis, isn't there something more important we should be doing before exploring?刘易斯，在探索之前，我们还有更重要的事情要做哦？

LewisAh! I'm sorry, I got too distracted and forgot...啊！对不起！一不小心就沉浸其中了……

Master sticks her tongue out in a cute way before carefully placing the toys back on the table. She looks back reluctantly before leaving.主人吐了吐舌头，小心地将手中的玩具重新放回桌上，离开前还不舍地回头看了一眼。

I hope you will be most understanding. Master has always been this way—she tends to forget everything else when she sees something she likes.请各位见谅。吾辈的主人就是这样，一遇到自己感兴趣的东西就容易忘掉正事。

(Sigh) I wonder if that's a charm point or just her being a ditz?唉……也不知道这算是萌点还是神经大条。

LewisMmm, there are lots of toys here, but the ones I lost earlier aren't among them.唔，这里虽然有很多的玩具，但都不是我之前遗失的那一批啊。

LewisDoggy No. 1, are you sure the toys' scent came from here?狗狗1号，你确定玩具的气味是在这里没错吗？

"The nose knows!" ...Much as I'd like to say that, my vocalizer module can't form complete sentences.“吾辈的鼻子是不会出错的！”……虽然很想这么说，但吾辈的发声模块并不能像这样说出完整的句子。

Plus, when you consider the items have been lost for some time now, even I can't be sure that there was no mistake in tracing the scent.再加上距离遗失隔了一段时间，吾辈现在也不能确定留存的气味是不是自己的误判。

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner...兵蚁兵……

LewisAww, cheer up. We'll just have to look somewhere else...别灰心，我们再去别的地方找找好了……

ProfessorDon't be so hasty to leave. Lewis, I think Doggy No. 1's on the right track.先别急着离开。刘易斯，我觉得狗狗1号的判断应该没有出错。

LewisHm?嗯？

The Professor puts down the items they're holding and rearranges the toys to how they were before we came here.教授放下手边搜索的工作，将玩具复原成二人来之前的模样。

ProfessorYou two, look over here.你们两个过来看这里。

LewisThese marks... Were they left by someone dragging something?这个痕迹……是拖拽留下的？

ProfessorThat's right. They look very fresh; someone made them after shifting an object not long ago.没错，从状态来看很新，是前不久才移动物件后留下的。

ProfessorThe space beside the toys wasn't left deliberately empty. Rather, it's because there was something there and it was taken away.玩具旁留下的空间应该不是刻意为之，而是原先有什么东西在这如今却被挪开带走了。

LewisAh! Could it be that my lost toys used to be here?啊！难道说这里放着的是我之前丢失的玩具吗？

ProfessorYup. The storehouse's owner probably found them and brought them here, but for some reason, they took them away again and left.嗯。它们应该是被仓库的主人捡到带回了这里，但不知道出于什么原因又被对方带走离开了。

ProfessorDoggy No. 1, could you help track their scent and verify this?狗狗1号，能麻烦你根据气味来确认一下吗？

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

I immediately do as the Professor says and approach the empty space before calibrating my olfactory modules to carefully investigate it.吾辈立刻按照教授的指示来到那个空档，调用嗅觉模块仔细地搜索起来。

Sniff! Sniff-sniff!嗅！嗅嗅！

狗狗1号Dinergate! Dinergate-dinergate!兵蚁！兵蚁兵蚁兵！

ProfessorLook how excited it is. Looks like my conjecture was right.看它那么兴奋的样子，看来这个推断是正确的呢。

LewisYou're amazing, Professor. I didn't think you noticed that right away...教授好厉害啊，没想到您一下就能注意到这里……

ProfessorThank you for your praise. However, that merely proves the toys were here at some point in the past.谢谢你的称赞。不过，这也只是证明了这些玩具的确曾经出现在这里过。

ProfessorHowever, we still have no clues about their current location. The most important thing is to contact the owner of this place and ask them about it.但是有关它的去处现在还没有线索，当务之急是联系上这里的主人询问情况。

ProfessorWait here, I'll contact Meryl and see what I can learn.你们在这里等一下，我这就去和梅丽尔取得联系。

LewisThanks, Professor!嗯，麻烦教授了！

LewisSee, I told you the Professor was awesome, right?你看，我就说教授很厉害吧？

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

I hop around excitedly in response to the Master's joy. Yup, as expected of the person that the Master trusts!吾辈也蹦跳着附和主人的喜悦。嗯，教授不愧是主人信赖的存在！

Looks like I can relax too...这么看来，吾辈也可以安心下来……

Help...救……

Help... me...救……命……

狗狗1号Diner?兵？

LewisHm? Doggy No. 1? Did something happen?嗯？狗狗1号，发生什么事了吗？

狗狗1号Dinergate?兵蚁？

A faint voice reaches me from the distance. I'm not too sure what I heard, and I take several steps toward the source of the sound.若有若无的求救声从远方传来。吾辈对此有些不太确定，又朝着声音的来源移动了几步。

...Help me!……救命！

狗狗1号Dinergate-dinergate!兵蚁兵蚁！

Now I'm sure someone's in danger!这下可以确定是有人遇到危险了！

By the time I realize it, I've already left the Master and the Professor behind, my body moving on its own towards the person calling for help...待吾辈反应过来时，吾辈已经甩下了教授和主人，身体抢先一步向呼救的方向跑了出去……

Childhood Dream Homecoming 童梦归家

I run on feet that are less than two inches long, frantically trying to reach the voice that is crying for help.吾辈用着自己不及两寸的短腿努力向着呼救发出的方向不断奔跑。

The surroundings become more and more run-down, but they do not hinder my progress.周遭的环境悄然间变得恶劣，但并没有阻止吾辈前进的脚步。

Ever since the full-scale Entropization of Magrasea, the borders of Burbank Sector are no longer a safe place.在麦戈拉全面熵化的当下，伯班克扇区的边境如今也不再安全。

Data phantoms left behind from clearing the Entropization away flicker back and forth, a silent warning to all who enter.清除熵化留下的数据残骸频闪来回，对每一个即将踏入此地的人发出危险警告。

????...Help me! Someone help me, please!……救命！谁来帮帮我！

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

As I approach, the cries for help grow clearer and clearer in my auditory modules.随着吾辈的靠近，听觉模块所接收到的呼救声也变得愈发清晰。

After struggling to climb a little mound of dirt, I finally understand what is going on.在费力爬过一个小土坡之后，吾辈终于得以了解现状。

A small Entropic is chasing something, not too far away from me. The cries for help are coming from the pursued party.距离吾辈不远的地方，一只小型熵正在追逐着某个身影。呼救声正是由后者发出的。

It looks to be... some kind of juvenile agent?从轮廓来看……被追逐的难道是个年幼的小智能体吗？

熵Hssss—嘶——

小智能体Ah... S-Stay back!啊……你、你不要过来！

The little agent has been forced into a corner. Tears stream down her face and fall on the items she is holding in her arms.小智能体已经被逼得退无可退。泪水从她的眼角落下，滴落在她怀中紧抱的物件之中。

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner?!兵蚁兵？！

Isn't that plush the property of my former master? What is it doing here?!那、那个不是前主人的玩偶吗？怎么会在这里？！

Before I can react, my auditory modules pick up the little agent's crying and her quiet plea.还没等吾辈反应过来，小智能体的哭泣声与低声请求一并被我的听觉模块捕捉到。

小智能体(Sob)呜呜呜……

小智能体(Sniffle) I... I'm sure the Mysterious Warriors will come help me...呜……我、我相信异相战士一定会、会来帮助我的……

小智能体(Sniffle) Because they're heroes of justice who help the weak...呜……因为她们是正义的英雄啊，是、是帮助弱小的存在……

Her sincere plea sticks in her throat as her hope-filled voice grows weaker and weaker.真挚的祈求在喉间凝固成哽咽，残存的希望随着声音的减弱逐渐消亡。

In the end, all I can hear is her forlorn weeping... Just like last time.到最后，听觉模块中只剩下了无助的哭声……一切就和那时一模一样。

My memories from before being picked up by my current Master are muddled, but I still remember my farewell with my original owner.吾辈在被现主人捡到之前的记忆已经不甚清晰，但吾辈依稀记得，与原主人离别时的场景。

狗狗1号Awoo...呜……

原主人Don't worry, Doggy No. 1... We'll be fine.别担心，狗狗1号……我们会没事的。

She squeezed the doll in her hands as she tried to reassure me.她攥紧手中的玩偶悄声安慰吾辈。

The fire rose outside her window, and the screams and wailing of agents filled the air.窗外烈火焚烧，四处皆是智能体的惨叫。

原主人It's okay, don't be scared.没关系的，你不要害怕。

原主人Doggy No. 1, want to know a secret? The truth is, the doll I've been holding all this while is actually the great Mysterious Warrior, you know?狗狗1号，我偷偷告诉你个秘密……其实，我一直抱着的玩偶就是大名鼎鼎的异相战士哦？

狗狗1号Awoo?汪呜？

原主人Hehehe, the Mysterious Warriors are everyone's heroes~嘿嘿嘿，异相战士可是所有人的大英雄哦~

原主人So if the Mysterious Warriors come, I'm sure we'll all be saved!只要异相战士来的话，我们大家一定可以得救的！

原主人I'm sure...一定可以……

Kaboom—轰——

Rocks fell, and her smiling face was no more.崩塌的岩石落下，遮盖住了她的笑脸。

By the time I opened my eyes again, the Master was cradling my broken body in her arms.待吾辈再次睁眼的时候，吾辈破损的身躯已经被刘易斯小姐抱在了怀中。

The rubble around me was scorched by flames, consuming the warmth of days long gone.周遭的火焰灼烧着眼前的碎石，将往日的温馨撕扯焚毁。

LewisAh, you're awake! From that name on your doggy tag... you're called Doggy No. 1, right?啊，你醒了！铭牌上的名字……你叫狗狗1号，对吗？

LewisDon't move, you're very badly hurt. Don't go digging up that wreckage...别动，你现在受伤很严重，不要去挖那些废墟……

LewisAlright, I understand. Since I can't stop you, I'll just have to help you dig.好吧，我理解了。既然无法阻止你，那就让我陪你一起挖吧。

...………………

狗狗1号Au-awoo...呜、呜呜……

LewisThis isn't your fault, Doggy No. 1. What do you plan to do from now on?这不是你的错，狗狗1号。你今后有什么打算吗？

Lewis...An olfactory module? Alright, I promise to put one in you once we get out of here. I don't want to see any more tragedies like this either.……嗅觉模块吗？好，我答应你，等离开这里之后一定会为你装的。像这样的悲剧，我也不愿意再看到了。

LewisI need to become stronger, no, we need to become stronger... Yeah, so let's start by making a suitable weapon.必须要变得更强，不管是你，还是我……嗯，首先就从制作一把合适的武器开始吧。

LewisWhile I like guns more, a greatsword would be more appropriate in the cloud.虽然我更喜欢枪，但在云端的话还是用巨剑比较合适。

Lewis...You want to know my name? It's Lewis. That's right, my name is Lewis.……名字？刘易斯，我的名字是刘易斯。

LewisThen... I'll be your new master from now on, okay?那……从今天开始我就是你新主人了，好吗？

熵Hsss—嘶——

小智能体(Sob) Mysterious Warrior, Mysterious Warrior, please help me...呜呜呜……异相战士，异相战士……帮帮我……

Before I can respond, the tentacles of despair smash down upon the delicate blossom in front of me.待吾辈反应过来时，绝望的触手挥击即将落下将眼前的花朵撕碎。

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

???Hup!嘿咻！

There is a flash of light and a keen blade cuts the tentacles apart, throwing up a huge cloud of dust as it strikes the ground.凌厉的剑光劈开了触手，击碎地面的同时溅起无数烟尘。

By the time it clears, a girl in a fancy dress holding a sword made of building blocks has appeared on the battlefield... looking just like she did in my memories of that day.待烟尘散去，拿着积木剑的华服少女出现在战场之上……一如那天吾辈记忆中的模样。

LewisSorry we're late.抱歉我来迟了。

LewisDoggy No. 1 and that girl over there... Are you two alright?狗狗1号，还有那边的小智能体……你们两位没事吧？

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

LewisMhm, that's good to hear.嗯嗯，没事就好。

小智能体T-Thank you! Big Sis... Who are you?谢、谢谢！姐姐……你、你是哪位？

LewisMe, hm...我嘛……

Master glances at the doll that the little agent is holding and smiles.主人瞟了一眼小智能体手中紧紧抱住的玩偶，脸上绽放出微笑。

LewisOh yes... I'm just a Mysterious Warrior who happened to be passing through.是呢……我只是一个路过的异相战士罢了。

小智能体A Mysterious Warrior?异相战士？

LewisThat's right, I'm a friend of the toy you're holding.没错，就是你手里玩具的朋友哦。

Master controls her building blocks with her operands, putting together another greatsword.被算量操纵的积木在主人手中重组，重新拼凑出另一把大剑的模样。

Then, Master reaches out into thin air, and the scattered blocks quickly form into a shield that she grasps.主人向虚空伸手，自由扩散的积木很快组合成盾牌的模样被她拿在手中。

LewisI'm a friend to all toys, and a Mysterious Warrior who protects children's dreams.我是所有玩具的朋友，同时也是守护孩子梦想的异相战士。

LewisProfessor, can you help me protect Doggy No. 1 and our little friend over here?教授，狗狗1号和小智能体能交给您来保护吗？

A pair of warm hands pick me up and gather me and the little agent behind them.一双温暖的大手将吾辈抱起，连同身旁的小智能体同时护在了身后。

ProfessorJust leave it to me. Lewis, I'll be directing the battle from the rear... so be careful and don't get hurt.交给我来就好。刘易斯，我会在后方指挥作战……小心点别受伤了。

LewisYup! Time to put my best foot forward!嗯！接下来就是我该好好表现的时候了！

LewisThis time, I won't let these toys lose their homes again.这一次，我不会再让玩具失去归宿。

Those familiar words and the huge sword that the Master is holding make me think back to what I saw in the ruins back then.熟悉的话语与主人手持巨剑的身影逐渐和那日废墟上的形象重叠。

LewisMaking toys is fun, but just as I thought, my favorite thing is still seeing the looks on children's faces when they get their toys.制作玩具固然是件令人开心的事情，但我最喜欢的果然还是孩子们获得玩具时脸上的表情。

LewisI wonder when I started not being content with just staying behind the shop windows, but instead wanting to come out and play with them...究竟是从什么时候开始，我不满足于待在橱窗之后，而是来到他们的身边和他们一起玩耍的呢……

Lewis...Yeah, it's been so long that I've already forgotten.……是啊，时间太长我都已经忘了。

LewisStill, there's one thing I haven't forgotten.但是，有一点我没有忘记。

LewisI don't want to be a bystander who can only watch when kids have their toys taken from them.我不想在孩童被剥夺玩具时仅仅只能作为一个旁观者而存在。

LewisI don't want to see crying toys who have lost their owners.另外，我也不想再看到哭泣的玩具失去它们的主人。

LewisEven if their owners grow up and they are forgotten and abandoned...即使这些玩具被它们逐渐成长的主人所遗忘，所舍弃……

LewisThey should still rest in the toy boxes under their owners' beds, not on the muddy battlefield like this.它们的归宿也应该是床下的收纳空箱，而不是眼前这如泥沼的战场。

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner...兵蚁兵……

ProfessorYeah, your master is really strong... Both in the cloud and in reality.是啊，你的主人真的很强呢……不管是在云端，还是在现实。

LewisProfessor! Doggy No. 1! Hey!教授，狗狗1号！喂！

Having defeated the Entropics, the Master waves her greatsword in the air to get our attention. She has the same sunny, innocent smile on her face, just as always.已经将熵击败的主人挥舞着手中的巨剑向我们打招呼，脸上的表情依然和往日一样纯真开朗。

As I look at her smile, I secretly make up my mind...看着她的笑容，吾辈也暗自下定了决心……

小智能体...I see, so you all came here because of me.……原来是这样，姐姐你们出现在这里都是因为我的缘故啊。

小智能体I thought those toys were dumped here because nobody wanted them, so I thought I'd pick them up and give them to the other kids in Burbank...我原本以为那些玩具是没人要丢弃在这里的，想把它们捡走送给其他伯班克的孩子……

小智能体I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble!对不起给你们添麻烦了！

LewisYou don't have to apologize. In fact, we managed to get there in time to save you because you picked up those toys. Next time, don't go running around in an area with Entropics in it, okay?不用道歉，也多亏你捡走了玩具，我们才能及时赶到将你救下。下次可别一个人在有熵的区域乱跑咯？

Upon hearing this, the little agent bows again.闻听此言的小智能体再度鞠躬道谢。

小智能体I-I got it! Thank you for your help!我、我记住了！谢谢你们的帮助！

ProfessorYou're welcome. Also, we managed to find you because of Doggy No. 1 over here.不客气，能发现你也有狗狗1号的功劳哦。

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

小智能体Yup! Thank you too, Doggy No. 1!嗯，也谢谢你哦狗狗1号！

小智能体Oh yeah, you were looking for the toys, right? I'll take you to them right now.对了！你们是在寻找玩具对吧？我这就带你们去找它们。

小智能体...Ah, and there's also this!……啊，还有这个！

The little agent lets go of the doll she's been holding and hands it over to Lewis. The Mysterious Warrior doll is so old that the stuffing is peeking out, with traces of her tears on it.小智能体松开一直紧抱在怀中的玩偶朝刘易斯的方向递去。破旧到露出棉花的异相战士身上依然留有被泪滴打湿的痕迹。

小智能体This is one of your toys too, isn't it, Big Sis?这个也是姐姐你的玩具吧？

小智能体When I was being chased by the Entropics, I couldn't hide it in time, so I had to take it with me when I ran.当时被熵追逐的时候我没来得及把所有玩具藏起来，只好带着它一起跑远离开。

小智能体I'm sorry, I tore it when I was running... I'll give it back to you once I fix it.对不起，我在逃跑的时候不小心把它弄坏了……等我缝补好再交还给你吧。

LewisIt's okay, you can fix this kind of damage in a jiffy!没关系的，只是这点损坏的话很快就能修好了！

Lewis takes the raggedy old doll and soon patches it up with her skillful technique.刘易斯接过破损的玩偶，很快就用精细的手法将它重新缝补修好。

LewisSee? All better now.看，这样就修好了哦~

小智能体That's awesome! How did you do it, Big Sis? Was that magic?好厉害！姐姐你是怎么做到的？是魔法吗？

LewisNope, it's just an essential skill for a toy designer.不，这只是作为玩具设计师的必备技能而已。

LewisAlso, you made a little mistake. This Mysterious Warrior doll doesn't belong to me.还有一点你搞错了……这个异相战士的拥有者并非是我哦。

小智能体Huh?诶？

Lewis doesn't explain further. Instead, she turns to Doggy No. 1 with a kind look in her eyes.刘易斯不再解释，只是用温柔的目光看向一旁的玩具小狗。

Lewis...Go on, Doggy No. 1.……去吧，狗狗1号。

The toy doggy goes quiet for a while, then suddenly stands up on its hind legs and pushes the doll back into the little agent's arms.玩具小狗沉默片刻，随后突然用后腿直立站起，将小智能体举起的玩具重新撞回她的怀抱之中。

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner.兵蚁兵。

LewisDoggy No. 1?狗狗1号？

LewisI see, so that's your choice...是吗，这就是你的选择吗……

小智能体Wha? What just happened? I don't get it... Big Sis, what did Doggy No. 1 mean by that?诶？我怎么不明白发生了什么……姐姐，狗狗1号它这是什么意思？

The little agent appears thoroughly confused.小智能体的脸上一副不知所措的样子。

She keeps trying to give the doll back, but Doggy No. 1 keeps stopping her. In the end, she has no choice but to keep holding it in her arms.她反复尝试将玩具递出但都遭到了狗狗1号的回绝跑开，只好不解地将它继续抱在怀里。

ProfessorMy guess is that Doggy No. 1 wants to give that toy to you.我猜，狗狗1号它多半是想要把这件玩具送给你吧。

ProfessorThat "Dinergate" it said just now means, "You're a more suitable owner for it than I am."刚刚那句“兵蚁”的意思翻译过来就是，“比起我来说，你才是它更合适的主人”。

ProfessorAm I right, Doggy No. 1?狗狗1号，我猜的没错吧？

狗狗1号Dinergate-diner!兵蚁兵！

Doggy No. 1 vigorously wags its tail and hops around, showing its approval of my words with its actions.狗狗1号努力摇晃着着自己的尾巴蹦跳，用自己的行为赞同了我刚刚解释的说辞。

小智能体Wow, I didn't know a single "Dinergate" could hold such a deep meaning...诶，那句兵蚁里面原来包含了那么多的信息吗……

小智能体Still... Thank you, Doggy No. 1! I'll make sure I cherish it!不过……谢谢你狗狗1号！我一定会好好珍惜它的！

小智能体Mysterious Warrior, please take care of me from now on.异相战士，今后也请你多多指教啦。

She hugs the toy in her arms rightly, delighted at her reunion.她将怀中的玩具紧紧抱住，为再一次与之重逢而喜悦。

LewisAlso, would you like to keep the rest of the toys from just now? My plan was always to give to kids who needed them and would cherish them.还有，之前的那批玩具你也可以留下哦？我原来的计划就是想要将这批玩具送给那些需要并珍惜它们的孩子。

LewisSince everyone in Burbank likes them, then keeping them here would be a pretty good ending for them.既然伯班克的大家那么喜欢，那把它们留在这里也不失为一个好的结果呢。

小智能体Really? Is that okay?真的吗？真的可以吗？

LewisYup.嗯。

小智能体Thank you, Big Sis! This is great! I'm sure everyone at the secret base will love them!谢谢姐姐！太好了！秘密基地的大家一定会喜欢它们的！

小智能体Big Sis, I need to go now, I'm sure everyone must be worried sick. Bye bye, Professor! Bye bye, Big Sis!姐姐，那我就先告辞了，再不回去大家应该都着急了吧。拜拜，教授！拜拜，姐姐！

ProfessorThe surroundings might be clear, but just in case, I should probably send someone to escort you back.虽然周边已经没有危险了，但以防万一还是派人把你送回去比较好。

狗狗1号Dinergate!兵蚁！

ProfessorOh? You're volunteering for this assignment? Then we'll be counting on you, Doggy No. 1.哦？你要主动接下这个任务吗？那就拜托你了，狗狗1号。

Doggy No. 1 happily accepts its mission and bounds after the little agent.后者开心地接过任务，蹦跳着追上前者。

Just then, the little agent turns back, as though she's recalled something.就在这时，小智能体似乎是想起了什么转身回头。

小智能体Oh yes, you're a toy designer, aren't you, Big Sis?对了，我记得姐姐你是玩具设计师吧？

LewisHuh? Yes, I am... Why, what's the matter?啊？是啊……怎么了？

小智能体Toy designers are awesome! I wanna be a toy designer when I grow up too!玩具设计师真的是好厉害啊！我以后也要成为像姐姐一样的存在！

小智能体Bye bye! Let's play again next time!拜拜！下次再一起玩吧！

LewisBye bye...拜拜……

Lewis waves back in a daze as she watches the little agent leave.刘易斯愣在原地缓缓挥手，与我一同目送小智能体的远去。

LewisProfessor...教授……

ProfessorHm?嗯？

LewisThis time... did I do well?这一次，我赶上了吧？

Professor...Yes.……嗯。

I pat her head to show my affirmation and to comfort her.我摸了摸她的头给予肯定和安慰。

ProfessorYou did well, Lewis.你做得很好哦，刘易斯。

Lewis...Thank goodness.……太好了。

The girl looks up at the sparkling, digital sky of the cloud and tries her best to hold back her tears. After a while, she suddenly turns to me again, the corners of her eyes slightly red.少女望向云端闪烁着数据块的天空，努力忍住自己的眼泪。过了一会儿，她忽然再度看向我，眼角还泛着些许的潮红。

LewisThis is for you, Professor. Think of it as thanks for today!这个给您，教授。就当作是今天的感谢！

She starts pulling toys out of her bag and placing them in my hands.她从随身携带的包里不断掏出玩具递到我的手上。

ProfessorAh, thanks...啊谢谢……

LewisAnd this, this is for you too!还有这个，这个也送给您！

ProfessorWait...等……

LewisOooh, I like this one!这个，这个是我的得意作品！

ProfessorThis is far too many...这、这么多……

LewisIt's alright, Professor, just take them all.没关系教授您就收好好了。

LewisThink of them as... Yeah, consider them compensation for having missed Children's Day.就当作是……对了！就当作是之前错过儿童节的补偿好了。

The pockets of my white coat soon bulge with toys of all kind. I sigh as I extract my hands from them and wonder what kind of shelf I'll need to store them all.白色外套的口袋很快就被各类的玩具所填满。我将手从衣兜中拿出叹气，想着回去之后该弄个怎样的橱柜才能将它们全部放下。

Just then, I sense Lewis slowing down. Slowly, she buries her face into the nape of my neck.就在这时，我感到刘易斯的动作缓缓停下。慢慢地，她将脸埋入了我的颈窝。

ProfessorLewis...刘易斯……

LewisI know I must look like a mess now. So please, don't look at me, Professor, give me some time...……我现在肯定不好看。所以先别看我，教授，给我一点时间……

Professor...Alright.……嗯。

I feel the warm wetness of her tears staining my shoulder, her emotions pouring silently into me, drop by drop.我感到温热的的泪水在肩上悄无声息地晕开，那些情感也通过温度一点点传递过来。

After a while, Lewis sniffles and raises her head, trying and failing to wipe away the tear stains on my shoulder with an embarrassed look on her face.过了一会儿，刘易斯吸着鼻子抬起头来，有些不好意思地试图擦掉我肩上的泪痕。

LewisI'm sorry, Professor, I'll get you a new shirt...抱歉教授，我会赔一件衣服给您的……

ProfessorIt's alright.没关系的。

LewisNo, no! I insist! Also, I have something I'd like to ask you... Could you do me a favor after we return to the Oasis?不不，请务必让我赔给您！那个，我还有一件事情想拜托教授……回绿洲之后您能帮我个忙吗？

LewisI'd like to give everyone in the Oasis handmade toys for Christmas. Could you help me make them, Professor?我想给绿洲的大家在圣诞节的时候送上亲手制作的玩具。教授，能协助我一起制作它们吗？

ProfessorSure I can... Still, don't you think it's a little early to be preparing Christmas presents?可以倒是可以……不过，现在就开始准备圣诞节的礼物吗？会不会有点太早了？

LewisWell, we're giving them to everyone. Naturally, we need to start early.毕竟要给全员送礼物啊，当然要早做准备才行。

LewisSpeaking of which, I've given you a lot of toys, but I still don't know which one you like the best.说起来，我送了教授这么多玩具，还不知道教授最喜欢的玩具是什么呢。

LewisThis is a very important question to me. I hope you can think carefully about it before answering me, Professor.这对我来说，可是很重要很重要的问题。教授，希望您能好好思考认真回答我。

She looks at me with eyes filled with sincerity. In them, I can practically see whatever answer I give sitting on my desk the next day.她看向我的双眼真挚热情。透过它，我仿佛已经看到口中的答案第二天出现在我桌子上的画面。

LewisProfessor, why are you laughing? I'm being really serious about this, you know...教授您这是突然在笑什么……我可是很认真的哦？

ProfessorI'm sorry, my bad.抱歉抱歉，是我这边不好。

ProfessorWell, since it's a handmade gift from you, I'll need to give that question some serious thought.既然是刘易斯亲手制作的礼物，那我可要认真思考一下了啊……
