Epilogue 尾声

… Around the time Lyle9;s party was achieving victory in Zayin.

……大约在莱尔的政党在扎因取得胜利的时候。

Back at Arumsaas, the two knights who had been dispatched from Lorphys stopped by Dalien9;s laboratory.

回到阿鲁姆萨斯，洛菲斯派来的两名骑士停在了达利安的实验室。

The one who accepted Lyle9;s letter of introductions, 【Damien Valle】 was a genius known as one of the Academy9;s Seven Great. A few screws in his head were just a tad bit loose, but that9;s what made him a Great, after all.

接受莱尔介绍信的【达米安·瓦莱】是被称为学园七大人物之一的天才。他头上的几颗螺丝只是有点松动，但这毕竟是他成为伟人的原因。

The other members of the Seven Great, dispersed through history, were all geniuses, but individuals with problems here and there. Damien wanted to create his perfect ideal woman, or so the pervert said, as he pressed on in his research.

历史上分散的七大人物的其他成员都是天才，但也都有问题。达米安想要创造他完美的理想女性，至少这个变态在继续他的研究时是这么说的。

In the research laboratory, maids with the same faces and clothing were carrying out cleaning, and they prepared tea for the two knights.

研究实验室里，有着相同面孔和服装的女仆正在打扫卫生，并为两位骑士准备了茶水。

Damien sat on his sofa, took the letter, and extracted a small black board from it.

达米安坐在沙发上，拿起信，从中取出一块小黑板。

“He said that one was for the others.”

“他说，一个是给其他人的。”

A maid… an automaton accepted it, and put the board in her pocket. Suddenly, her red eyes began to flicker…

一个女仆……一个机器人接过它，然后把板子放进了她的口袋里。突然，她的红眼睛开始闪烁……

“… It contains data left behind by our sisters captive in the Labyrinths. The corruption is severe, and it is impossible to analyze all of it. Master, it seems that useless Monica managed to lay hands on one of the world9;s secrets in a Labyrinth of Beim.”

“……里面有我们被囚禁在迷宫里的姐妹们留下的数据。腐败现象十分严重，不可能全部分析出来。主人，看来没用的莫妮卡在贝姆迷宫里掌握了世界的秘密之一。”

Hearing that, the knights made surprised expressions. But Damien calmly sipped his tea.

闻言，骑士们纷纷露出惊讶的表情。但达米安平静地喝着茶。

“Oh, I9;ll teach you. It9;s a bygone art already. If you drop some money by the academy, I think they9;ll kind and gently teach you too. Of course, the one who formed the base for it was Lyle. It would9;ve just been faster to get it from Lyle.”

“嗯，烦恼吗？你的意思是说你不能把波特的手艺传给我们？”

“As expected of Lyle. He9;s doing interesting things, I see. Right. Let9;s have him take care of us. Okay, prepare to leave at once.”

这个身材娇小的女孩的名字是【Adele Belgi】。这个十七岁的女孩从巴恩塞姆的大连漂流到阿鲁姆萨斯，再到中央，一直到贝姆。

Damien tilted his head.

达米安站了起来。

The two knights who had come all the way to Arumsaas were dumbfounded by Damien9;s prompt decision to leave, and all they could do was watch…

…贝姆东部公会分会。

The small and slender girl9;s name was 【Adele Belgi】. The girl of seventeen had drifted from Dalien in Bahnseim to Arumsaas, to Centralle, and all the way to Beim.

站在人潮中保护她的是一位高个子年轻人。他拿着用布包着的长矛，腰间还挂着一把剑。

名叫一号的女仆说话了。

“请求？她有什么要求？”

Damien put the glasses back on, and smile.

“哦，我来教你。这已经是一门过时的艺术了。如果你在学院里投入一些钱，我想他们也会友善地教你。当然，为它奠定基础的人就是莱尔。从莱尔那里得到它会更快。”

“Request? What did she ask for?”

The maids grabbed the hems of their skirts, and lightly lifted them to curtsy.

达米安重新戴上眼镜，微笑着。

“很好，主人。这样的话，我们就能满足莫妮卡的要求了。”

“This one9;ll go on the large-scale transport Porter…”

… Beim9;s Eastern Guild Branch.

“嗯，在贝姆肯定比在这里更容易采购到必要的材料吧？而且学院最近感觉不太好。想一想，也许是因为重要成员都去了Centrale？啊哈哈哈，正如莱尔所说。”

In Lyle9;s letter, he had detailed the threat of Celes. He wrote it as a warning, but there really wasn9;t anything that Damien could do.

达米安用手摸了摸下巴。

“这个要乘坐大型运输机波特……” “是时候展现我们的力量了。” “嗯，傀儡的初步设计就交给我们吧。主人可以开发出整合核心的装置……”

达米安摘下眼镜，揉了揉内眼角。

“好的，我们正在跑步。一号、二号、三号……收拾好东西，我们去贝姆。那两个人是我们的守卫。”

“So then what is it that9;s troubling you?”

“Um, troubled? You mean to say you cannot pass on Porter9;s craft to us?”

“Well, I9;m sure it9;ll be easier to procure the necessary materials in Beim than here, right? And the academy hasn9;t been feeling too great as of late. Come to think of it, maybe it9;s because all the important members left for Centralle? Ahahaha, it9;s just as Lyle said.”

One of them let her light-blue hair show from under her hood.

So Damien stood up.

“Hm, leave the golem9;s preliminary design to us. Master can develop the device to incorporate the cores…”

In it stood a robed group of two.

带着惊讶和惊讶，骑士们向达米安确认了。

➐

The two knights exchanged glances. They seemed quite troubled. It was never even considered that Lyle was the developer.

“那么是什么让你烦恼呢？”

里面站着一群穿着长袍的两人。

When Damien said that, the maids quickly began to rush about the research lab.

女仆们抓住裙摆，轻轻举起行屈膝礼。

“用于战斗的人形傀儡的设计，以及使用自动机核心的傀儡的开发。奖励是古老的技术……我们的选项槽。那个无能。她说她会扔掉所有重复的东西，所以我们必须帮助她。我们将用我们全新的团队合作将她打倒在地。”

达米安歪着头。

其中一位让她浅蓝色的头发从兜帽下露出来。

“莱尔的妹妹塞莱斯，你看。她不久后就会来到阿鲁姆萨斯。不，这确实令人烦恼。真是麻烦了……看来她的目标是我。”

Damien touched his hand to his chin.

“我明白了。我对此不再感兴趣了。我的意思是，这与我的研究无关。但这确实令人不安。”

大笑起来后，达米安再次对两位骑士说道。

“It9;s time for us to show our power.”

“A design for a humanoid golem for combat, as well as the development of a golem that makes use of automaton cores. The reward is ancient technology… option slots for us. That incompetent. She said she9;d toss over whatever she had duplicates of, so we had to assist her. We shall pummel her into the ground with our newly polished teamwork.”

Damien removed his glasses, and rubbed the inner corners of his eyes.

在莱尔的信中，他详细描述了塞莱斯的威胁。他写下这句话是为了警告，但达米安确实无能为力。

“I see. I9;m not really interested in that anymore. I mean, it9;s irrelevant to my research. But this truly is troubling.”

After bursting into laughter, Damien addressed the two knights once more.

His weapons and build made him out as a warrior at a glance, and those around tried to avoid brushing up against hum.

“Okay, we9;re running. No. 1, No. 2, No. 3… pack up my things, we9;re going to Beim. Those two are our guards.”

“Very well, Master. With that, we9;ll be able to fulfill Monica9;s request.”

两位骑士交换了一个眼神。他们看起来很困扰。甚至没有人认为莱尔是开发商。

The maid named No. 1 spoke.

“正如莱尔所料。我明白，他正在做一些有趣的事情。正确的。让他来照顾我们吧。好了，你马上准备出发吧。”

千里迢迢来到阿鲁姆萨斯的两名骑士，对于达米安突然离开的决定都傻眼了，只能眼睁睁地看着……

“Lyle9;s little sister Celes, you see. She9;s coming to Arumsaas in the near future. No, it truly is troubling. Troublingly enough… it seems that her target is me.”

达米安这么一说，女仆们立刻开始在研究室里忙碌起来。

With surprise and amazement, the knights confirmed with Damien.

The one standing to protect her from the waves of people was a tall young man. He carried his spear wrapped in a cloth, and he had a sword at his waist as well.

他的武器和体格一看就知道他是一名战士，周围的人都尽量避免与嗡嗡声发生冲突。

His name was 【Maksim Danhel】… twenty seven years old, and a former vassal knight, he had followed his feudal lord9;s daughter Adele for protections sake, and come with her to Beim.

他的名字是【马克西姆·丹尼尔】……二十七岁，前封臣骑士，为了保护他跟随领主的女儿阿黛尔，并与她一起来到了贝姆。

The two of them took in the scenery around the East Branch.

两人欣赏着东分院周围的风景。

Adele9;s green eyes watched the passing adventurers. When she couldn9;t find the one she was looking for among them, she sighed.

阿黛尔的绿眼睛注视着路过的冒险家。当她在这些人中找不到自己要找的人时，她叹了口气。

“As I thought, it9;s impossible. There are too many people in Beim.”

“正如我所想，这是不可能的。贝姆的人太多了。”

As Adele gave up, Maksim spoke with a smile.

当阿黛尔放弃时，马克西姆微笑着说道。

“We9;ve only just arrived. Giving up won9;t get us anywhere, Adele-sama.”

“我们才刚刚到达。放弃不会让我们有任何结果，阿黛尔大人。”

There, Adele nodded to him, and smiled. Maksim9;s face reddened a bit, and he scratched it with his fingertip.

阿黛尔向他点点头，微笑着。马克西姆的脸有些红了，他用指尖挠了挠。

“That9;s right. There9;s no doubt he is somewhere here. We have to locate him at all costs… Mr. Lyle Walt, former Wonder Child of the Walt House.”

“没错。毫无疑问他就在这里的某个地方。我们必须不惜一切代价找到他……莱尔·沃尔特先生，沃尔特之家的前神童。”

Adele9;s eyes narrowed.

阿黛尔眯起了眼睛。

Maksim9;s brow also moved a bit. His long brown hair was pushed all back at the forehead, and his red eyes took in the surroundings.

I took down the knight captain, and was waiting for the war to come to an end. That9;s how it should have been, when Eva suddenly came up to me with a smile.

歌手伊娃向我讲述了她在首都讲述的故事。

她的眼睛闪闪发亮，一脸严肃地问着这些问题。

阿黛尔把脸转向马克西姆。

“Don9;t know, is it… no, well, I9;ll follow you to the end.”

马克西姆听起来很疲倦，但阿黛尔说话了。

“还有【青色圣骑士】、【爱圣骑士】、【奇迹守护者】。顺便说一句，故事的女主人公塞尔玛小姐和亚乌拉小姐有两条不同的路线。跨越年龄界限的不道德的爱情！在中年女性中大受欢迎！就亚乌拉小姐而言，它只是主流，所以它显然很受欢迎。我的意思是，战争一开始，只有一百人就消灭了两万人。”

But Eva.

“嘿等等！你说它们听起来像是虚构的是什么意思！有一个绝妙的理由！为了拯救陷入困境的圣女，为了拯救洛菲斯的子民，他站了起来！仅仅因为这听起来很可疑，并不意味着你必须扭曲事实！”

他笑着说道……

“There are plenty of strange rumors around him. But it9;s thinkable that he came to Beim in order to flee. What could you be expecting of such a man, milady?”

➐

但是马克西姆...

“莱尔小姐，其实我有件事想问你。”

“I do feel sorry, Maksim, but let9;s become adventurers of Beim. Here, we can probe for information on Lyle Walt.”

“我不知道。”

“If that is your wish, milady.”

“这是什么？”

When I turned to her with an enervated expression, she took a memo pad in hand.

“Lyle-san, the truth is there was something I wanted to ask you about.”

我打倒了骑士队长，等待战争结束。本来应该是这样的，当伊娃突然微笑着向我走来时。

“如果这是您的愿望，女士。”

“That9;s what I9;m hoping. Eradicating a bandit brigade in Dalien, and breaching the fortieth floor of Arumsaas9; Labyrinth with the lowest recorded numbers. The battle of brother and sister in Centralle… I really do pray he9;s a good person.”

But Maksim…

当我一脸疲惫地转向她时，她手里拿着一本记事本。

Her eyes were sparkling, and she asked those questions with a serious expression.

马克西姆环顾四周，说话了，阿黛尔用拇指抵住嘴，低下头。

Adele turned her face to Maksim.

阿黛尔抬头看着天空。她摘下兜帽，将淡蓝色的头发披散开来。

“遇见塞莱斯后，我的家人变得很奇怪。他们本来应该在中区抗议，但当我回到家时，他们突然想参加内战。这显然很奇怪。我认为直接见到她会很危险。所以我抓住了线索，千里迢迢来到了这里……”

当我双手按在头上时，我看着她高兴地比出和平手势。下一个进来的是克拉拉。

对于骑士来说，至少在巴恩塞姆，成为冒险家几乎意味着你的人生失败了。但马克西姆笑了。

Maksim spoke as he looked around, and Adele touched her thumb to her mouth, and looked down.

“The knights you9;ve called your best of friends have been struck dead as well. Those that were once the prominent knights of Bahnseim are of no match at all. It9;s as if we9;re in the fairy tales of three hundred years passed.”

“他周围有很多奇怪的谣言。但可以想象他来到贝姆是为了逃跑。女士，您对这样一个男人还能指望什么呢？

“I don9;t know.”

“你决定夺回扎因时的心情，以及你在与洛菲斯谈判时打响指的故事，因为你知道使者即将到来……无论我怎么写，这都不禁让我觉得是虚构的，所以我想了解有关此事的更多细节。另外，我还想知道你放弃夺取的要塞，决定进攻首都的原因。”

“我确实感到抱歉，马克西姆，但让我们成为贝姆的冒险家吧。在这里，我们可以探查有关莱尔·沃尔特的信息。”

“Your sentiment when you decided to recapture Zayin, and the story of where you snapped your fingers in your negotiations with Lorphys, because you knew the messenger was coming… It can9;t help but feel fictional to me no matter how I write it, so I9;d like some more details on the matter. Also, I9;d also like the reason you cast aside the fortress you nabbed, and decided to assault the capital.”

Inside the temple of Zayin9;s capital, in the room I had been afforded, I slammed both my hands on the table a number of times.

He said that with a smile…

Maksim sounded tired, but Adele spoke.

但是伊娃。

在扎音都城的寺庙里，在我被提供给我的房间里，我用双手猛击桌子好几次。

“Dalien, Arumsaas, Centralle… there9;s no lack of stories about him. Perhaps he9;s become famous here as well.”

Adele who spoke of fairy tales let out a sigh towards the East Branch, and began walking off. Matching her small stride, Maksim followed.

I watched her make a peace hand sign in delight as I pressed both my hands against my head. And the one to enter next was Clara.

“这到底是什么……【审判圣骑士】到底是什么意思！？”

“这就是我所希望的。消灭了大连的一个强盗大队，并以历史最低人数突破了阿鲁姆萨斯迷宫的第四十层。中央区的兄妹之战……我真心祈祷他是个好人。”

“My family turned strange after meeting Celes. They should have been protesting in Centralle, but when I returned home, they suddenly wished to take part in its civil war. It9;s clearly strange. I thought it would be dangerous to meet her directly. That9;s why I grasped for the clues, and came all the way here…”

马克西姆的眉头也动了动。他棕色的长发全部向后梳到脑后，红色的眼睛打量着周围的一切。

“那些你称为最好朋友的骑士也被击杀了。那些曾经是巴恩塞姆的杰出骑士根本不是对手。我们仿佛置身于三百年前的童话故事中。”

Eva drew closer, and Clara raised her glasses so they caught the light. It was a little scary.

讲着童话故事的阿黛尔向东支线叹了口气，开始走开。马克西姆也跟着她迈出了一小步。

To knights, at least in Bahnseim, becoming an adventurer pretty much indicated you failed in life. But Maksim smiled.

Adele looked up at the sky. She took off her hood, and let her light-blue hair out.

“What the hell is this… what the hell is 【Holy Knight of Judgement】 supposed to mean!?”

Eva the singer informed me of the stories she9;d been telling around the capital.

“What is it?”

“不知道，是吗……不，好吧，我会跟着你到底。”

“There9;s also the 【Blue Holy Knight】, the 【Holy Knight of Love】, and the 【Guardian of Miracles】. By the way, the story has two different routes for Thelma-san and Aura-san as heroines. An immoral love that crosses the boundary of age! A huge hit among middle aged woman! In Aura-san9;s case, it9;s just mainstream, so it9;s plainly popular. I mean, the war started with only a hundred managed to take down twenty thousand.”

“大连、阿鲁姆萨斯、中央……不乏关于他的故事。也许他在这里也出名了。”

“Hey wait! What do you mean they sound fictional! There9;s a splendid reason! In order to save a troubled Holy Maiden, and the people of Lorphys, he stood to his feet! Just because it sounds shady, that doesn9;t mean you have to twist the truth!”

伊娃靠近了一些，克拉拉举起眼镜以便捕捉到光线。有点害怕。

“It9;s all to leave records for the world to come! If you don9;t make proper records, then people like you will pick, choose, and modify, and come out with a completely different story in the end!”

“这一切都是为了给后世留下记录！如果你不做好记录，那么像你这样的人就会挑选、选择、修改，最后得出一个完全不同的故事！”

“But it9;s true, isn9;t it!? It9;s fine for a Hero to move without it being for his own self-interest! It9;s fine if they9;re a fool who can9;t calculate loss and gain! That9;s a true hero!”

“但这是真的，不是吗！？英雄不为一己私利而行动就好！是个不会计算得失的傻瓜也就算了！这才是真正的英雄！”

“That9;s wrong. That9;s definitely wrong!”

“这是错误的。这绝对是错误的！”

I extended my right hand, and mulled over whether to intervene in their argument, when I heard a burst of laughter from my ancestors.

我伸出右手，思考着是否要介入他们的争论，这时我听到祖先们爆发出一阵笑声。

The Third sounded quite pleased with my new moniker.

老三听起来对我的新绰号很满意。

『Holy Knight of Judgggeeement!! How cooooool!!』

『审判圣骑士！！太酷了！！』

The Fourth even…

第四个甚至…

『The Blue Holy Knight, and the Holy Knight of Love… so you can9;t help but be bound to Holy Knight. Isn9;t that nice, Lyle… with this, you9;re officially a famous adventurer with a splendid moniker. The work will be rolling in in no time!』

『青色圣骑士，还有爱圣骑士……所以你就无法不被圣骑士所束缚。这不是很好吗，莱尔……有了这个，你就正式成为了一位拥有辉煌绰号的著名冒险家。工作很快就会滚滚而来！』

… He was delighted over the money we could earn.

…他对我们能赚到的钱感到很高兴。

The Fifth spoke.

May had gone to deliver a letter to Lorphys, so Shannon was the only one who could help her.

他们所在的地方很重要，还派了开光的童女来打扫这里。

当她看着她时，Novem 的嘴唇动了动。

我看着他们的脸，喊道。

“So Lyle… which moniker do you want? I want to tell my tribe to spread it with that as the center. If there are a number of them, it9;ll get confusing.”

克拉拉也差不多。

“……我为什么要打扫卫生？正当我以为自己被当成诱饵的时候，我被塞进了波特，他们一放我出来，就叫我去打扫圣殿……无论我多么强烈地抗议这种残酷的对待，不要以为我会原谅你的。”

“Things like us as… gods… why did humans…”

香农发现自己害怕那个破碎的声音，然后她重新开始了工作。就在这时，Novem向她喊道。

… Inside Zayin9;s temple.

With those irritated feelings, I breathed out a sigh, and sat in my chair. There, both Eva and Clara turned to me.

...扎音寺庙内。

（他们很享受这个。通常的模式，是吧！？）

当香农转向诺维姆，抬头看着女神雕像时，她有点惊讶。和莱尔在一起时根本无法比拟，但她的魔力却出现了轻微的波动。

『You sure are stupid, Lyle… these sorts of things are decided by what other people want to call you. You should pick a safe one while you still can.』

伊娃表情严肃地说。

I watched Eva and Clara argue over which moniker was best, as I held my head.

她的魔力一直停滞不前。

Shannon9;s eyes couldn9;t see, but they were fashioned with a special Skill that let her see Mana. By that, Shannon could act as if she saw just fine

When Shannon turned to Novem as she looked up at the statue of the Goddess, she was a little surprised. It wasn9;t even comparable to when she was with Lyle, but there was a slight fluctuation in her Mana.

梅去给洛菲斯送一封信，所以香农是唯一可以帮助她的人。

我抱着头，看着伊娃和克拉拉争论哪个绰号最好。

『I-it9;s fine, isn9;t it… pff! But Guardian of Miracles, you say? Even when it wasn9;t a miracle, but something closer to the preparations you built up. Well, it9;s interesting, so approved.』

0;They9;re enjoying this. The usual pattern, is it!?1;

香农的眼睛看不见，但它们具有特殊的技能，可以让她看到玛娜。这样，香农就可以表现得好像她看得很好

And as she watched her, Novem9;s lips moved.

七爷忍住笑声。

I looked at their faces, and yelled.

“什、什么？”

“一致性很重要。莱尔小姐，还有【青色圣骑士】、【审判圣骑士】、【爱圣骑士】、【奇迹守护者】……我好像也听说过【圣女圣骑士】。最后一种更多出现在浪漫主题的故事中。你和塞尔玛小姐或者亚乌拉小姐配对。”

当香农表达自己的抱怨时，她用抹布擦拭了一张长凳。 Novem想提醒她，她的手已经停住了，但由于Novem已经完成了自己所有的工作，所以她也不能说什么。

（……即使其中没有一个安全的名字？）

The Seventh held in his laughter.

“All rejected! None are to my liking! If you can come up with one I9;m satisfied with, then use that!”

带着这些恼怒的感觉，我叹了口气，坐在我的座位上。椅子。在那里，伊娃和克拉拉都转向我。

Eva spoke in a serious expression.

（她是因为什么事情生气吗？不，那是悲伤……）

『莱尔，你真是个傻子……这种事情是由别人怎么称呼你决定的。你应该趁还可以的时候选择一个安全的。』

0;Is she angry about something? No, that9;s sorrow…1;

Shannon was assisting beside her, while Miranda, Aria, and Monica were working on different jobs.

➐

Clara was much the same.

“像我们这样的东西……神……为什么人类……”

香农在她旁边帮忙，而米兰达、阿丽亚和莫妮卡则从事不同的工作。

『It9;s better than the Idiot Son and Lyle the Burden names you got before, isn9;t it? But Judgement, huh… why is it that monikers that sound too proper end up ringing out as no-good instead.』

There, the Third let his voice from the Jewel.

As she voiced her complaints, Shannon used a dust cloth to wipe down a bench. Novem wanted to caution her that her hands had stopped, but as Novem had already finished all of her own work, she couldn9;t really say anything about it.

其中矗立着最后一位女神……第七位女神的雕像。仰望追随者们随意塑造的女神形象，就是诺维姆。

『我、没关系吧……噗！但你说奇迹守护者？即使这不是一个奇迹，但更接近你所做的准备。嗯，很有趣，所以认可。』

“Uniformity is important. Lyle-san, there9;s 【Blue Holy Knight】, 【Holy Knight of Judgement】, 【Holy Knight of Love】, 【Guardian of Miracles】… I think I9;ve heard 【The Holy Maiden9;s Holy Knight】 as well. The last one comes out more in tales with romance themes. You9;re paired up with either Thelma-san or Aura-san.”

第五位发言。

“全部拒绝！没有一个是我喜欢的！如果你能拿出一个我满意的，那就用它吧！”

What9;s more, before she knew it, Novem was right beside her, leaning down to match her eye level.

在那里，第三者从宝石中发出了声音。

0;… Even when there9;s not a single safe one among them?1;

“W-what?”

In it stood the final goddess… a statue of the seventh goddess. Looking up at the goddess9; image her followers had arbitrarily shaped was Novem.

They were in an important spot, and consecrated virgins were dispatched as well to clean the place.

Her Mana that was ever stagnant.

“莱尔……你想要哪个绰号？我要告诉我的部落以此为中心来传播它。如果有很多，就会变得混乱。”

“… Why am I cleaning? Just when I thought I was being used as bait, I was shoved into Porter, and the moment they let me out, they tell me to clean the sacred temple… no matter how hard I protest this harsh treatment I get, don9;t think I9;ll forgive you.”

『这比你以前的“白痴儿子”和“负担莱尔”的名字更好，不是吗？但是审判啊……为什么听起来太恰当的绰号反而听起来毫无好处。』

Shannon found herself afraid of that broken voice, and she restarted her work. That moment, Novem called over to her.

更重要的是，在她意识到之前，Novem 就在她身边，弯下身子与她的视线齐平。

“Shannon-chan.”

“香农酱。”

“Y-yes!”

“是、是的！”

Shannon let out a panicked voice, gathering the stares of the virgins around. But thinking she was just being scolded again, the women quickly resumed their work.

香农发出惊慌的声音，吸引了周围处女的目光。但她们以为自己又被骂了，赶紧继续干活。

Novem was smiling. As always, her Mana was unmoving. Too little of anything.

Novem 微笑着。一如既往，她的魔力一动不动。什么都太少了

“Once this is over, we9;ll have lunch, so please do your best until then.”

“活动结束后，我们就去吃午饭，所以在此之前请尽力而为。”

“… S-sure.”

“……当然。”

Shannon could only nod.

香农只能点头。

0;She didn9;t notice? Thank the Goddess.1;

（她没注意到？感谢女神。）

When she thought that, Novem offered a line.

想到这里，Novem 就开口了。

“And please forget the words you9;ve just heard from me. They didn9;t particularly hold any meaning.”

And Lyle9;s opinion was the Fifth, Fredricks9; opinion. May owed Fredricks the debt of having saved her life.

“如果你不能动，那么也许莱尔会自己动。但那样的话，我不知道会发生什么。”

说着，她跳了出去。

Lonbolt spoke.

“你说他只用了……只用了一百个人就收复了扎因？他真的做到了？”

“That9;s why I said it. That Lyle brought Zayin down. So he told me to come here and see if you were moving as you9;d promised.”

即使独自一人，他也能征服塞尔瓦。这就是她对两个人的说法。事实上，莱尔用最少的人力赢得了扎因的支持。

The two watching her back thought about how they never knew how she did it, no matter how many times they watched…

… As Monica cleaned, she looked at the space around her.

May tilted her head.

当她递出手中的信时，朗博尔特惊讶地把手放在嘴边。也许艾莱特很好奇，她寻求解释。

梅歪着头。

When she handed over the letter in her possession, Lonbolt put his hand to his mouth in surprise. Perhaps Alette was curious, as she sought an explanation.

“我们将召开一个会议。我们无法立即做出回应。”

说完这句话，梅将最后一份零食塞进嘴里，然后咽了下去。

“With only… with only a hundred men, he reclaimed Zayin, you say? He really did it?”

梅用幼稚的声音说话，但艾莱特。

梅站起来，走向窗户。虽然已经到了城堡的最高处，但她还是一脸平静的爬上了城堡，然后转身。

Finally…

“We9;ll hold a meeting. We can9;t give a response immediately.”

莱尔的意见是第五，弗雷德里克斯的意见。梅欠弗雷德里克斯救了她一命。

“Do you know what that means? To overthrow is…”

……洛菲斯的皇家城堡。

梅在其中一间房间会见了阿莱特和朗博尔特。

最后…

Saying that, she leapt out.

… Lorphys9; royal castle.

梅听起来不太感兴趣，一边嚼着桌子上的零食。

Lonbolt wiped off his sweat, and handed off the letter to Alette. When she took it, she looked over its contents, and opened her eyes wide.

May didn9;t sound too interested, as she munched on the snacks on top of the table.

朗博尔特发现他的能力非常可怕。

May spoke in a childish voice, but Alette.

➐

朗博尔特发言。

“Prime minister, how fares Zayin?”

朗博尔特擦了擦汗，把信递给了艾莱特。当她接过它时，她看了看里面的内容，然后睁大了眼睛。

“那我去告诉莱尔你要开会。”

“That was the plan from the start, wasn9;t it? And the one that started this was Selva. While I9;m at it, the ones who attacked Lyle were people of Selva, weren9;t they? Honor your promise.”

“Then I9;ll go tell Lyle you9;ll have a meeting.”

May was a quilin, and you couldn9;t say her thoughts were too close to humans. She only thought of wars as something of turf dispute level.

“你知道这意味着什么吗？推翻就是……”

她在梅和信之间看了几遍，所以梅开口了。

看着她背影的两个人想，无论他们看了多少次，他们都不知道她是怎么做到的……

梅是一只奎林，你不能说她的思想太接近人类了。她只认为战争只是地盘争夺层面的事情。

The last nail of the coffin was hammered in, and Shannon nodded again, and again, and again…

“……攻击并推翻塞尔瓦？如果是现在，那么即使是强行，我们也可以组建我们所承诺的国际联盟。我们并不需要走到让他们毁灭的地步。”

Lonbolt found that ability of his to be dreadful.

“换掉老板，对吧？”

May met with Alette and Lonbolt in one of its rooms.

“这就是我这么说的原因。莱尔把扎因打倒了。所以他让我来这里看看你是否按照承诺搬家了。”

“请忘记我刚才说的话。它们没有任何特别的意义。”

“… Attack and overthrow Selva? If it9;s now, then even if forcefully, we can form the international alliance we promised. It9;s not as if we have to go as far as to bring ruin to them.”

……莫妮卡打扫卫生时，她看着房间她周围。

On that statement, May stuffed the final snack into her mouth, and swallowed.

“从一开始就是这么计划的，不是吗？发起这一切的是塞尔瓦。我这么说的时候，袭击莱尔的人不是塞尔瓦人吗？兑现你的承诺。”

“总理，扎因怎么样了？”

“Swapping out the boss, right?”

“If you cannot move, then perhaps Lyle will move on his own. But in that case, I don9;t know what9;s to come.”

May stood, and headed for the window. They were on quite a high point of the castle, but regardless of that, she climbed onto it with a calm expression, before turning around.

She looked between May and the letter a few times, so May spoke.

Even alone, he would be able to conquer Selva. That9;s how she made it sound to the two of them. And in truth, with minimal manpower, Lyle had won over Zayin.

棺材的最后一颗钉子被钉入，香农再次点头，再次，再次……

➐

Destruction via magic, and a stained floor.

通过魔法进行破坏，并弄脏地板。

As she cleaned it all, a few days had already passed.

当她把所有东西都清理干净时，已经过去了几天。

“When I9;m not even taking care of that Chicken Dickwad, why is it that I have to put so much of my effort in? Recently, I haven9;t been able to look after him at all. I9;m losing my motivation”

“我连那只鸡崽子都照顾不了，为什么我还要花这么多精力呢？最近我根本没时间照顾他。我正在失去动力”

As unmotivated as her cleaning was, she was still a high-spec automaton maid.

尽管她的清洁工作毫无动力，但她仍然是一个高规格的机器人女仆。

Her surroundings rapidly grew cleaner and cleaner.

她的周围环境迅速变得越来越干净。

“I worked hard. I worked really hard this time, and yet…”

“我工作很努力。这次我真的很努力，但是……”

A displeased Monica was quite disappointed that she couldn9;t stay at Lyle9;s side. There, she saw Aura walking down the hallway.

莫妮卡很不高兴，因为她不能留在莱尔身边，她感到非常失望。在那里，她看到奥拉沿着走廊走来。

She was surrounded by temple virgins, and taking the Holy Knight Vice-Captain Creit along.

她被圣殿圣母包围着，还带着圣骑士副团长克雷特。

“Good day, Monica. The weather sure is nice today.”

“美好的一天，莫妮卡。今天的天气确实不错。”

Creit9;s sweltering smile showed that this very moment was the epitome of happiness, as he gave his greeting. There, a virgin cautioned him.

克雷特温暖的笑容表明，这一刻就是幸福的缩影，他的问候。在那里，一位处女警告他。

“I9;ll definitely make you regret this. I hated the country of Lorphys for killing my father, but now is different. Now, you9;re the one I hate most.”

亚乌拉以漠不关心的态度回答了她的话。

And finally a halberd.

The opposing faction had already been crushed, but there was no saying Remis wouldn9;t try a rebellion of her own. So deportation.

奥拉点点头。

Aura hadn9;t killed Remis, but Thelma was the same. The Holy Maiden was a decoration and a puppet. And knowing that, neither of them could take drastic measures.

“我明白了。”

最后是一把戟。

The Fourth looked at the empty chairs around the table.

Ignoring Monica as she drew closer, Aura walked off.

当她命令祝圣的处女时，撇开语气，她是圣女。至于衣服，她还是穿着莫妮卡做的衣服，凸显了她身体的线条。

奥拉没有理会莫妮卡走近，而是走开了。

As she ordered the consecrated virgins, tone aside, she was the Holy Maiden. As for clothing she was still wearing the outfit Monica made, that showed off the lines of her body.

… Inside the Jewel.

当莫妮卡说出她的真实感受时，奥拉看起来很厌倦。还有单身处女……

Aura nodded.

莫妮卡看起来很高兴。

The Third looked at the Three weapons floating above the round table.

老三看着圆桌上方漂浮的三把武器。

➐

“我一定会让你后悔的。我曾经因为杀了我的父亲而憎恨洛菲斯之国，但现在不同了。现在看来，你是我最讨厌的人了。”

“Oh? I9;d like to hear more of that in detail. The Chicken Dickhead is a Holy Knight of Love? Should I call it fitting of him, or a bit more than that… won9;t you tell me?”

叹了口气，奥拉轻蔑地挥了挥手。

“是的，从现在开始我们不会再有这样的事情了。如果我们要把它全部打破并重新建立，我们将需要一些新的规则。稍后我会开始写必要的内容。”

The first was a giant sword.

然后鞠躬。

And letting out a sigh, Aura waved her hand dismissively.

但他们不能把她留在扎印。

“Oh, are you already leaving?”

But they couldn9;t leave her in Zayin.

简短地说两个词…

Monica looked delighted.

“是这样吗？现在这是一种痛苦。”

敌对派系已经被镇压了，但雷米斯并不是不会尝试自己的叛乱。所以驱逐出境。

Behind her walked Remis in handcuffs.

“哦，你要走了吗？”

Then a bow.

“I will not allow you to speak such rude words of Knight Captain Lyle-sama… of the Holy Knight of Love!”

第一把是一把巨剑。

There, Remis spoke.

“哦？我想听听更多细节。鸡头蛋是爱情圣骑士？我应该称之为适合他，还是更适合他……你不告诉我吗？”

“这是正确的。她已经死在扎音了，所以这对她来说就是驱逐出境。她将被允许携带部分资产。”

He extended his hand towards those silver weapons, but the Third wasn9;t able to touch them. It was as if they knew who their master was.

雷米斯在那里说话了。

“副队长，我们移动的时候你不能跟人打招呼。因为其他人是为了给圣女开辟一条道路。”

“你真是好心。虽然我怀疑小鸡也不会杀了她。他对女人很好……要是他也能对我好就好了。”

And cut it short at two words…

“嘿，我们走吧。”

“Yeah, we9;re not having any of that from here on. If we9;re going to break it all down, and make it up anew, we9;ll need some new rules. I9;ll start writing up the necessary ones later.”

奥拉没有杀死雷米斯，但塞尔玛也是如此。圣女是装饰品，也是傀儡。知道这一点后，他们都无法采取严厉措施。

“Vice-captain, you cannot greet people as we move. Because others are meant to open a path for the Holy Maiden.”

“You sure are kind. Though I doubt the Chicken Dickwad would kill her either. He9;s kind on women… if only he would be kind to me as well.”

老四看着桌子周围的空椅子。

Aura looked fed-up as Monica unraveled her true feelings. And a single virgin…

「我不会允许你说出骑士团长莱尔大人……爱之圣骑士的粗鲁言语！」

她身后走着戴着手铐的雷米斯。

“Hey, let9;s go.”

Aura answered her words with an unconcerned attitude.

… 在宝石里面。

“That9;s right. She9;s already dead in Zayin, so it9;s deportation for her. She9;ll be allowed to carry an extent of her assets.”

“I see.”

“Is that how it is? Now that9;s a pain.”

他把手伸向那些银色武器，但第三者却无法触及它们。就好像他们知道谁是他们的主人一样。

『Our numbers have gone down.』

『我们的人数下降了。』

The Fifth hung his head.

老五低下了头。

『Right.』

『对。』

The Seventh looked at the doors on the walls of the room. The entrance to the rooms of memories. There were now five of them.

小七看着房间墙上的门。记忆房间的入口。现在他们有五个人了。

『We only have five doors now. They9;ve gone down yet ag… wait, what?』

『我们现在只有五扇门。他们已经下去了……等等，什么？』

Five…

五……

The Third stood from his seat, and looked at the new door that had manifested. The chair in front of it was Lyle9;s.

第三个从座位上站起来，看着出现的新门。前面的椅子是莱尔的。

『After this long… no, it9;s already been a year. It9;s not strange if it came out, I guess.』

『过了这么久……不，已经一年了。我想，如果它出来了，也不奇怪。』

The formation of Lyle9;s room of memories caused an outbreak of silence within the Jewel.

莱尔记忆室的形成，让宝石内部陷入了沉默。

And the Third…

而老三……

『That isn9;t possible. Why? And this is supposed to be Lyle9;s room of memories. There9;s no way he ever met her.』

The Fifth stood as well.

看到小男孩的笑容，老三把门关上了。

There, he found a scene of the mansion he had lived in his time expanding out.

Curious, the Fifth opened the door. And he slowly closed it, and tilted his head.

第五号也站了起来。

『First.』

As he scrambled forward to overtake him, the Seventh opened the door, and closed it at once. When the Third approached it in wonder, the Seventh shook his head.

在那里，他发现了他曾经居住过的豪宅的场景正在扩展。

『How strange. I9;m sure this isn9;t my room, but…』

『……杜威为什么在这里……这不是我的房间。而我没有这样的记忆……我不应该有。』

And he had moved before him as if he were truly alive. It wasn9;t the set movement pattern of a simple memory.

当他爬上前追上他时，七号打开了门，又立刻关上了。当第三个惊奇地走近它时，第七个摇了摇头。

『…呃？』

他的呼吸很混乱。

『第一。』

There, the Fourth, stood, and pushed up his glasses with a finger.

『You9;re that curious? Then there9;s no helping it.』

『雪橇，今天我们吃奶奶炖菜。它的调味有点过头了，但一定要毫无怨言地全部喝完。说不好，你奶奶就会哭。』

『这里没有疲劳之类的东西，但是……』

『不，你看起来是全力以赴的。』

当老四微笑着打开门时，他的呼吸变得粗重，然后砰地关上了门。然后悄悄地……

Seeing the small boy9;s smile, the Third slammed the door shut.

出于好奇，第五打开了门。他慢慢合上门，歪着头。

『Ah, a cheap shot!』

『… Why is Dewey… here… this isn9;t my room. And I don9;t have a memory like that… I shouldn9;t have one.』

The Third couldn9;t understand. So he opened it himself.

老四站在那里，用手指推了推眼镜。

『There9;s no such thing as fatigue here, but…』

『No, you look like you9;re all for it.』

七号的座位离门最近，所以他接了冲锋的头。

The one that appeared was the Third9;s deceased elder brother, a young 【Dewey】.

『What are you doing? Good grief… see, there9;s nothing… hmm? What the hell!!?』

『你在做什么？天啊……看，什么都没有……嗯？什么鬼！！？』

『Sleigh, today we9;re having grandma9;s stew. It9;s a bit over seasoned, but make sure you drink it all down without complaint. Say it9;s bad, and you9;ll make your grandma cry.』

『那不可能。为什么？这应该是莱尔的记忆房间。他不可能见过她。』

第三个。

The Third retreated back a few steps, and looked at the door.

老三无法理解。于是他自己打开了。

Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh… the four men stood dumbfounded before Lyle9;s room of memories…

他在他面前移动，就好像他真的还活着一样。这不是简单记忆的既定运动模式。

第三、第四、第五、第七……四人呆呆地站在莱尔的记忆房间前……

出现的是三号已故的哥哥，年轻的【杜威】。

『有那么好奇吗？那就没办法了。』

『啊，一记卑鄙的枪！』

『… Want to take a peek?』

The Fourth approached the door.

And noticing him at the doorway, a single young boy waved his hand.

老四走到门口。

When the Fourth opened the door with a smile, his breathing grew rough as he slammed it shut. And quietly…

The Seventh9;s seat was closest to the door, so he took the head of the charge.

『真奇怪。我确信这不是我的房间，但是……』

『… Eh?』

His breathing was a mess.

There, the Third.

注意到他在门口，一个小男孩挥了挥手。

『……想看一眼吗？』

老三退后几步，看向门口。
