Beguiling Mystery – Prelude 启牌见礼·序

Christmas Eve, the Oasis, the dorm area平安夜，绿洲，宿舍区。

A shadowy figure darts through the darkened corridor.一片漆黑的走廊中，一个黑影悄然在各个宿舍间穿梭着。

Professor...I'm pretty sure the only person still working on Christmas Eve is Santa-Prof, huh.……在平安夜晚上依旧辛勤工作的，除了圣诞老人，剩下的就是扮成圣诞老人的教授了吧。

I sigh and then look back at the list of presents and recipients.我叹了口气，看向清单上的礼物列表。

ProfessorLet's see... turns out Willow wants a camera after all.我看看……薇洛儿想要的礼物，果然是相机啊。

ProfessorI'll give her this dual-lens reflex camera, then. Next up...那么就送这款双眼反射式相机吧。接下来…………

ProfessorWhew, I'm almost done. This next gift will be the last one.呼，马上就结束了，送出最后一份礼物就可以收工了。

I walk over to the last room and open the door which has a sign on it reading "Florence ♥".我走到最后一位人形的宿舍门前，推开挂着“芙洛伦♥”牌子的宿舍门。

ProfessorAnd it goes to Florence... Hm? Her door's not locked?芙洛伦……嗯？门没有锁？

I step into the room. The lump under the blankets indicates the owner is sound asleep and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.我踏进房间。鼓起的被子显示房间的主人正陷入沉睡，我不禁舒了口气。

ProfessorLooks like she just forgot to lock the door. Hm? There's a note inside the stocking hanging from her bed...看来只是忘记锁门了啊。诶，床头的袜子里有纸条……

Professor"Please look here for the present I want~ ♥" Huh, I didn't think Florence would write a note like this.“请看这里♥我想要的礼物”。没想到芙洛伦还写了这个。

ProfessorLet me see... Is it a syringe? Or some kind of drug? I can't get the really weird stuff...让我看看……针管？或者药剂？要是奇怪的药我可搞不到啊……

I turn the note around and see—我翻开纸条的背面，映入眼帘的是——

"The present I want is... Santa Claus!♥"“我想要的礼物是……圣诞老人♥”

ProfessorWhat...?!什……？！

Rustle—哗啦——

Before I can react, I feel a sack descend over my head and all I can see is darkness.还没来得及反应，我就感到自己被一个袋子给套住，视野变得一片漆黑。

???Hehe, the Santa Capture Project was a great success~嘿嘿~圣诞老人捕捉计划，大·成·功~

???Thanks for granting my wish, Santa~谢谢圣诞老人实现了我的愿望呢~那么今晚，圣诞老人就属于我了哦~

Dammit, I was careless! I should have made sure Florence was actually in bed!大意了！没有确认芙洛伦是不是真的在床上！

As I hear that familiar voice, the painful memories from past Christmases flood into my mind again. Will a poor and innocent Santa Claus be hunted down by the Dolls once again...听见熟悉的声音，过往圣诞节的惨痛回忆涌上心头。无辜的圣诞老人要再一次被人形猎杀了吗……

ProfessorFlorence... What are you up to...芙洛伦……你这是要做什么……

FlorenceAnh~ I have only the purest of intentions, Professor~ All I want is to have a special party with you~啊嗯~教授，我能有什么坏心思呢~只是想和教授进行一次特别的派对而已哦~

FlorenceTeehee, I'm sure it'll be so exciting~ But before that, I hope you'll take a nap for a bit so you have enough energy to have some fun with Florence~嘻嘻，一定会非常刺激呢~不过在此之前，就请教授好好睡一觉，之后才有精力和芙洛伦一起寻求刺激哦~

A needle enters my arm and my vision goes blurry.针管扎进我的手臂，眼前的景象开始模糊。

Looks like the peaceful Christmas of my dreams is a long way off...看来我梦寐以求的平安的圣诞节已经离我而去了……

I can smell the sea breeze, and is that water I hear?海风的味道、还有水声……？

ProfessorIs Florence going to drag me under the waves...难道说我终于要被芙洛伦沉海了吗……

FlorenceHow could I bear to do such a thing~ We haven't even spent the night together yet.我怎么舍得呢~至少要让教授和我一起度过今夜吧。

FlorenceAlright, Professor, I've removed your blindfold, so open your eyes~好啦教授，我已经取下你的眼罩啦，睁开眼睛吧~

ProfessorAck... It's so bright...嗯……好刺眼……

After being suddenly returned to the light, it takes a while for me to adapt to the increased illumination. When my eyes finally manage to focus again, I see a stretch of azure sea.突然恢复光明的我，好不容易才适应了光线。映入我眼帘的却是一片碧海。

ProfessorHm? Is this the oceanic simulation zone? This time and the brightness... Did you mess with the local weather simulator?嗯？这里是海洋模拟区？这个时间……还有亮度……你调整了这里的气象模拟器？

FlorenceI most surely did! Are you surprised? Teehee, now have some of this, Professor!是呀，是不是很惊喜呢~嘻嘻，教授看招！

A cool wave of water splashes on my face. It's winter but it doesn't feel chilly in the least.冰凉的水花溅到我的脸上。虽然是冬天，却并没有寒冷的感觉。

I look toward the direction where the splashing is coming from and see Florence wearing a swimsuit and holding a water gun. Her face is flushed and pink, probably from excitement, and her skin seems exceptionally pale, probably because of the water playing on it.我循着声音看去，眼前的是正拿着水枪、身着泳衣的芙洛伦。或许是因为兴奋，她的脸颊染上了一片绯红，又因为被水打湿的缘故，她的皮肤显得分外白皙。

FlorenceI specially prepared this projection for you~ Am I so beautiful that you've no words left, Professor?我专门为今晚准备的心智投影哦~看呆了吗，教授？

FlorenceTeehee, I made sure to carefully research all your preferences, be it for clothing styles or material...嘻嘻，我可是充分地考虑了教授的喜好哦，无论是衣服的款式还是材质……

FlorenceYou can touch it if you'd like, Professor~如果教授想的话，一会儿可以摸摸看哦~

It's lovely.很好看。

Why a swimsuit? This is Christmas, you know.为什么是泳装……现在可是圣诞节啊。

Aren't you feeling cold, Florence?芙洛伦，不冷吗？

FlorenceThis isn't an ordinary swimsuit, though, it's a special Christmas swimsuit~这可不是普通的泳装，是材质特殊的圣诞泳装哦~

FlorenceDon't you think wearing a swimsuit on a snowy day has a unique charm to it?在雪天穿泳装，不觉得别有一番风味吗？

FlorenceHehe, don't worry. I specially adjusted the surrounding temperature just in case. Aren't I caring?嘻嘻，放心吧，我特地调节了区域温度，是不是很贴心呢？

FlorenceAlso, my swimsuit's made of special materials... so if you're feeling cold, you can come cuddle up with me~而且我的泳装材质特殊……如果教授觉得冷的话，可以靠我近一些哦~

FlorenceAh, but before that, I need to lay down the rules for tonight's game.啊，不过在此之前，我要先宣布今晚的游戏规则~

ProfessorRules?游戏规则？

FlorenceYup~ I went to a loooot of effort to "kidnap" you so we could be alone together, so obviously I want you to satisfy me.是呀，好不容易才成功“绑架”了教授，让教授能和我独处，当然要让我好好尽兴啦。

FlorenceRelax, it's a perfectly safe and wholesome game. We're going to have a water fight, and if you score a hit on your opponent's vitals, you win.放心吧，是很健全的游戏哦。游戏内容就是打水仗哦，如果谁先击中对方的要害，谁就赢了。

FlorenceIf I win, I get to do whatever I want with you~如果我赢了，教授就要乖乖任我摆布~

ProfessorAnd if I win?如果我赢了呢？

FlorenceTeehee, take a look at your wrists, Professor.嘻嘻，教授，看看你的手腕哦。

Florence twirls the key in her hand. I look at my wrist... and see a pair of pink handcuffs there.芙洛伦转了转手中的钥匙。我看向手腕上……是一副粉色的手铐。

FlorenceIf you win, I'll give you these keys... Does seeing those handcuffs make you excited? I know I am.♥如果教授赢了，我就会把钥匙还给你……看着这副手铐，是不是兴奋起来了呢♥我可是相当兴奋呢。

Professor...Wait, do I have to wear these handcuffs all the way?……难不成我要一直戴着手铐吗？

FlorenceOf course~ Are you planning to dominate a fragile, innocent little medical practitioner with brute force? For fairness' sake, I need to impose a teensy little handicap on you~当然啦~难不成教授想要以武力欺负柔弱的医师吗？为了游戏的公平，还是给教授一些小小的制约吧~

...Looks like I have to abide by the rules of Florence's game. I struggle to pick up the water gun Florence prepared for me...……看样子是不得不遵守芙洛伦的游戏规则了，我艰难地拿起了芙洛伦准备的水枪……

ProfessorBut I can't even do anything like this!但这样根本没办法正常行动啊！

Florence ignores my protests and pulls her water gun's trigger. I reflexively dodge and a puddle of pink fluid splashes on the location which I previously occupied.不顾我的抗议，芙洛伦扣动了水枪的扳机。我下意识地躲开，原本所在的位置留下了一滩粉色的液体。

Professor...Florence, what was that you just squirted?……芙洛伦，刚刚你射出来的液体是……

FlorenceEhehe, it's a special something I prepared juuuust for you...诶嘿嘿，那当然是我专门为教授准备的爱的……电脑配件啦~

FlorenceNow then... the game's afoot.♥那么……游戏开始啦♥

I mustn't allow her to hit me.绝对不能被她打中。

FlorenceProfessor~ Get back here~教授~不许跑~

The trail of pink goo traces an arc through the air. I immediately execute a tactical roll to avoid Florence's attack.粉色的液体在空中划出一道弧线。我立刻做出战术翻滚的动作，避开了芙洛伦的攻击。

I take advantage of the opening Florence has offered me and raise my hand to squirt her.抓住芙洛伦露出破绽的机会，我抬起手给了芙洛伦一记水枪。

FlorenceAnh~ It's so cold~啊嗯~好凉哈哈哈哈~

FlorenceWow, not bad, Professor~ I can't believe you can still fight back even in your current situation~不愧是教授，在这种情况下还能得手呢~

ProfessorWait a minute, Florence, what's happening to your swimsuit...等等，芙洛伦你的衣服怎么……

The red fabric slowly melts away, baring previously hidden flesh.红色的布料慢慢溶解，露出了之前遮盖住的白皙肌肤。

FlorenceAh, so you noticed, Professor? Like I said, this fabric is très~ spécial~哎呀，教授注意到了呢~就像我刚才说的，这套衣服的材·质·特·殊~

FlorenceIf you hit it, my clothes melt off... Teehee, isn't this so exciting~如果被教授击中的话，衣服就会溶解哦……嘻嘻，是不是很刺激呢~

Professor...What was that about a safe and wholesome game again?……不是说是健全的游戏吗？

FlorenceWell, I'd like it to be safe and wholesome~ But whether or not it actually is lies in your hands, Professor~我当然希望是健全的游戏啦~不过现在是否健全，关键可在教授手中哦。

No wonder Florence was so casual about exposing herself... She's too dangerous!难怪芙洛伦这么轻易就露出了破绽……实在太危险了！

An internal voice cautions me to keep within the boundaries of a moral and upright game.有一个声音告诉我，必须守护住健全游戏的底线。

FlorenceLet's carry on then~ Come, Professor.那么游戏继续~来吧，教授。

Professor(Pants heavily)呼……呼……呼……

FlorenceAaah~ What a shame, you dodged it again. Still, I'm pretty sure you must be out of stamina after a solid hour of dodging~啊啊~真遗憾，又被教授躲开了。不过连续折腾了一个小时，教授你的体力也差不多要见底了吧~

FlorenceI can clearly hear your gasps and pants~ The sight of you trying to keep your breathing under control is so tempting~我可以清晰地听到教授你的喘息声哦~努力调整着呼吸的教授真让人欲罢不能呢~

I duck behind an erect surfboard, trying not to make a sound. Florence slowly approaches me from the other side of the board.我躲在竖起的冲浪板后，尽力避免自己发出声音。冲浪板的另一边，芙洛伦正慢慢走近。

Florence is right; I'm out of stamina... One could say I am utterly at her mercy.正如芙洛伦所说，我的体力已经耗尽了……可以说，已经彻底陷入被动了。

FlorenceYou should just give up and surrender~ Don't worry, I'll make sure you feel reeeeeeally good afterward~教授还是乖乖投降吧~放心吧，之后我会让教授很舒服的哦~

This is it—就是现在——

I push off hard against the ground and sprint at Florence, following up with a quick leg sweep.我猛地蹬地加速向芙洛伦冲去，一发快而有力的扫腿紧随其后。

FlorenceEeek!呀啊！

Before her head can hit the ground, I grab her in my arms and kick her water gun into the distance.在芙洛伦后脑着地之前，我抱住了她，同时将她脱手的水枪踹向远处。

Florence doesn't attempt to resist. Instead, she hugs me back instead.芙洛伦没有反抗，反而就势环抱住了我。

FlorenceAnh... You're so close to me, Professor.哎呀……教授，离我好近呢。

She bats her eyes at me and the two of us come to a halt. Perhaps it's because of all the vigorous activity beforehand, but my heart is pounding heavily in my chest.她向我眨了眨眼，我们二人的动作都慢了下来，或许是因为剧烈运动的原因，我感觉心跳十分剧烈。

FlorenceMy, you're so forward, Professor~ Perhaps letting you have your way with me wouldn't be so bad after all, hm?教授难得这么主动呢~让我觉得，就这样由教授摆布或许也不错呢？

Florence brings her face close to mine. Beads of water flow down her face. Her warm breaths are almost touching me, and I can see myself reflected in her eyes...芙洛伦将脸凑近我。水珠顺着她的脸颊流淌而下，温热的呼吸近在咫尺，她的眼眸中倒映出我的身影……

ProfessorFlorence... You specially prepared this swimsuit, didn't you?芙洛伦……这身泳装，是你特意准备的吧？

FlorenceOh yes. If you'd like, you can touch it.是哦。教授想的话，可以摸摸看呢。

ProfessorWell, since you're offering...既然你这么说了……

My hand slowly reaches behind her back...我的手缓缓地伸向她的背后……

Click.咔。

Florence...W-what's going on?!……等、等等？！

FlorenceEh? Are those handcuffs?!诶，手铐？！！

Florence wiggles and finds that her hands have been cuffed together. I help her stand up and show off the key in my hand.芙洛伦晃了晃身体，发现自己的手腕已经被铐上。我将芙洛伦的身体扶正，在她面前晃了晃手中的钥匙。

ProfessorLooks like I win.看来是我的胜利呢。

FlorenceI can't believe you did all that just to get the key!教授居然是为了拿到钥匙！太狡猾了！

FlorenceDammit! I fell for your trap!可恶！落入教授的陷阱了！

ProfessorHey, I fell for yours earlier... Looks like we're even now.我之前也落入你的陷阱了……这样一来，算是扯平了吧。

Florence struggles for a while. Then, when she realizes there's no escape, she laughs instead.芙洛伦挣扎了一会儿，发现无法挣脱，反而笑了起来。

FlorenceHahahaha! Well done, Professor. You're always full of surprises. Alright, I admit defeat.哈哈哈哈！不愧是教授呢，总是能给我意料之外的惊喜！好吧，我愿赌服输了。

ProfessorYou're pretty full of surprises yourself.你也总是能给我一些“惊喜”呢。

FlorenceSo, what did you think of this surprise, Professor?那么教授，你觉得这份“惊喜”怎么样？

The precisely adjusted temperature, the simulation of the ocean, water guns, and of course, the neural projection... I can tell Florence really put a lot of thought into this.特地调节合适的温度、模拟海洋的真实感、以及水枪和心智投影……可以看得出，芙洛伦确实非常用心。

ProfessorIt certainly makes for a unique Christmas... Thank you for putting so much effort into your preparations.确实是一个出乎意料的独特圣诞节……无论如何，感谢你这么用心做了准备。

FlorenceI didn't expect you to say that... Does that mean I have your permission to keep pulling pranks in the future?没想到教授会这么说……教授这么纵容我的话，我之后可就要继续恶作剧了哦？

ProfessorWell, if it makes you happy... Ah, but just stick to pranking me. Don't prank the other Dolls.如果能让你开心的话……啊，不过折腾我就好了，可别折腾其他人形。

FlorenceHoho~ Well... That's a surprise.吼吼~这还真是……有点意外呢。

ProfessorWhat is?怎么了？

FlorenceWell, before I came to the Oasis, I had never met anyone who was willing to help scratch this itch in my heart.在来到绿洲之前，可从来没有人愿意陪我解决这种躁动感~

FlorenceIn fact, a lot of people thought I was a weirdo and kept their distance. Ahh~ I remember how even the houseman doctors and trainee nurses hid from me.甚至有的人还会认为我是异类，对我敬而远之呢。啊啊，当时可是连实习医生和护士都躲着我了呢。

Florence pouts in annoyance.芙洛伦不满地嘟了嘟嘴。

ProfessorHahaha, well, I can understand why they did it.哈哈哈，我倒是可以理解他们的想法啦。

FlorenceHmph. Because of that, I never got the chance to try out a lot of treatments... Although, everything changed after I came to the Oasis.哼姆，搞得我好多实验疗法都没有机会尝试……不过自从来到绿洲后就不一样了。

FlorenceYou've always been able to thrill me more than I expected~ And you never kept away from me no matter what happened.教授每一次都能给予了我超乎想象的刺激~而且不论发生了什么都不会远离我。

FlorenceSo I suppose that I should come along quietly just this once as a sign of gratitude.所以为了感谢教授，这一次我就乖乖束手就擒吧。

Florence holds her handcuffed hands up before me.芙洛伦将戴着手铐的双手伸到了我面前。

FlorenceI'll stay in the detention cell for as long as you want.好了，关多久禁闭都由教授说了算哦。

ProfessorAs I look at Florence's smile, I shake my head and drape the towel I'm holding over her head.看着芙洛伦的笑容，我摇了摇头。将手中的毛巾披在了芙洛伦的头上。

FlorenceUwah...哇啊……

ProfessorRight, I'll undo the cuffs, so go wipe the water off.好啦，我帮你打开手铐，赶紧把水擦一擦吧。

FlorenceProfessor, you're letting me off?教授，打算放过我吗？

FlorenceHuh?诶？

I pick up the gift I'd prepared from the start and hand it to her.我拿起了一开始就准备好的礼物，递给了芙洛伦。

ProfessorI was planning to reward Florence who's been working hard all this time.从一开始我就想要奖励一直在努力工作的芙洛伦哦。

ProfessorYou've always been contributing your efforts in silence whenever the Oasis was in trouble. Everyone in the Oasis is grateful for that.在绿洲陷入困境的时候，你一直在医疗部默默努力。对此，绿洲的大家都感到十分感激。

I was always planning to.因为从一开始我就是这么打算的。

ProfessorMerry Christmas, Florence.圣诞快乐，芙洛伦。

FlorenceProfessor... You're not mad at me for pranking you?教授……不因为我的恶作剧生气吗？

ProfessorI told you before, right? They're nothing compared to what you've done for the Oasis.我以前就说过了，和你对绿洲的贡献相比，你的恶作剧简直微不足道。

ProfessorAlso, I enjoy this thrill-seeking side of you.而且我也很喜欢追寻刺激的芙洛伦哦。

FlorenceYou don't think I cause you trouble?教授不认为这些是给你添麻烦吗？

ProfessorWell, maybe it's your willingness to take risks that has helped the Oasis through all kinds of difficulty.或许也正是因为你这些勇于冒险的特质，所以才能帮助绿洲度过了各种各样难关吧。

ProfessorThat's what drew me and the rest of the Oasis to you after all, Florence.我……还有绿洲的大家，都是被这样的芙洛伦所吸引的。

Florence...Professor... I can't believe you actually said such mushy stuff.……教授……还真是会说这些肉麻的话啊。

FlorenceHonestly...真的是……

ProfessorHm? Did you say something, Florence?嗯？芙洛伦你说了什么吗？

FlorenceNope, nothing at all.什么都没有哦。

FlorenceStill, since you've said all that, you won't mind if I go after a little more excitement, right?不过，既然教授都这么说了，那我再稍微多寻求点刺激也没有问题吧~

ProfessorYou need to know your limits, especially when it comes to dangerous things... Don't go blasting yourself and your chair away with gunpowder, okay?适可而止哦，尤其是危险的行为……别用火药把自己和椅子一起炸飞了哦。

FlorenceGunpowder? I wouldn't do anything that dangerous... But now that you've brought it up, I actually kind of want to try it out now.火药？我才不会用那么危险……但是听教授这么说了，反而让人有种想要去尝试的想法了呢。

ProfessorMake sure you know your limits.危险的行为还是适可而止。

FlorenceYes, yes, yes...是是是……

Now that I've given the last of the presents, it seems I can finally enjoy a peaceful Christmas.最后一个礼物也已经送出去了，看来我终于可以度过一个平安的圣诞节了。

I sigh in relief and get up, and then my vision goes dark.我长舒一口气，站起身来，却突然感觉眼前一黑。

Wait, why is this so familiar...这种既视感……

I look back. Florence has a water gun in hand, pink liquid is oozing from its tip—when did she pick it up? She has a mischievous smirk on her face.我回过头去，不知何时捡起水枪的芙洛伦正巧笑嫣然地看着我，水枪的枪口正冒出粉色的液体。

FlorenceBullseye~ Looks like I win this game~击中要害~这场游戏是我赢了呢~

The very next thing I feel is my body falling helplessly into Florence's arms.下一刻，我就感觉自己的身体失去了控制，不由自主地倒在了芙洛伦的怀中。

FlorenceRemember, Professor—never let your guard down. You left yourself wiiiide open for me~教授在最后还是松懈了呢，给了我可乘之机~

FlorenceMore to the point, how could I NOT want to prank you after all that cute stuff you said just now~更何况，刚才听见教授那么可爱的发言，我怎么能按捺住恶作剧的心呢~

Florence gazes playfully at my helpless body.芙洛伦玩味地盯着失去行动力的我。

FlorenceOh yes, I forgot to tell you about YOUR Christmas gift, Professor.啊，对了，忘了告诉教授我为教授准备的圣诞礼物呢。

FlorenceThat's right—I'm~ your~ present~教授的圣诞礼物~·就·是·我·哦~

FlorenceTeehee, time for a thrilling and exciting Christmas night~嘻嘻，紧张刺激的圣诞夜才刚刚开始哦~

FlorenceAaaahhhh, that's the look I wanted to see... Your refusal to give in.啊啊，我就是想看教授的这副表情呢……这副不甘心的表情。

FlorenceOh? Have you given up already? In that case, I can do whatever I want now.哦呀？教授是放弃抵抗了吗？既然如此的话，那我可就要为所欲为了哦。

Florence once again leans in and whispers into my ear.芙洛伦再度凑到了我的耳边。

FlorenceI'll be imposing on you after this, Professor~接下来，我还会继续麻烦教授的哦~

FlorenceWhether it's in the cloud or reality, make sure you accompany and watch me through all the thrilling things I do, okay~不论是云端还是现实~教授一定要陪我体验最刺激的事情，并且好好盯着我哟~

(Struggle)挣扎。

(Give in)放弃抵抗。

FlorenceAfter all, this is an agreement between just the two of us, Professor♥~毕竟，这可是只属于我们之间的约定呢。教♥授♥~
