​ROBELLA’S JOURNAL

​We’re once again together, setting off on a brand-new journey. I hope these beautiful moments will last forever.

Today has been an incredibly peaceful day aboard the Elmo. No enemy attacks, no mishaps caused by the Dolls, and no Collapse storms or natural disasters. We’re currently docked at an underground broker’s trading post, where everyone took the chance to splurge on supplies. I even secretly bought a gift for the Commander, hopefully they’ll like it.

​I asked Miss Groza for advice when choosing the gift. She’s incredibly reliable; under her management, the Elmo runs like clockwork.

​Mm… and she also takes very good care of the Commander.

​Meanwhile, Soppo seized the chance to stock up on spare parts and immediately started tinkering with her Dinergates right on the bridge. One of them suddenly shot into the air, giving poor Mayling, who was busy with repairs, quite the fright. It seems the previous incident caused by Soppo’s contraption left her with a bit of a lingering trauma.

​Still, after a gentle reminder, Soppo dragged Mayling off to showcase her entire collection of mechanical creations. Hopefully Miss Mayling doesn’t get too interested in those Dinergates…

​I really treasure these quiet moments… but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever grow complacent. For the sake of having more days like this in the future, we must keep forging ahead.

Some time ago, Leva went around the Elmo asking everyone about their favorite movies. Apparently, it was because the Commander wanted to expand the Elmo’s movie library. As a member of the Elmo, I recommended a few well-known sci-fi films and some tokusatsu titles. Leva just gave me this playful smile in response… which I didn’t quite understand at the time…

​Tonight, Leva hosted a movie night, and one of the selections turned out to be the sequel to the tokusatsu film [Mysterious Warrior]—one of my recommendations! The story follows a former villain who reflects on his past, gradually earns the trust of others through his journey of redemption, and ultimately sacrifices himself to save a child. In the end, through the cries of everyone, he is reborn in a new form, transforming into a hero of justice. ​ A classic storyline, with the familiar transformation sequence. But no matter how many times you watch it, it never loses its charm.

I heard it was the Commander who suggested adding this film to the lineup. Maybe next time, I should invite the Commander to watch the latest installment of the series together. ​ After the screening, Mechty noticed my collection of Transformation Gear. She secretly approached me, asking where I had bought them, and whether I’d consider selling her a few… and most importantly, she begged me not to let Klukai find out.

Another mission accomplished. Soppo caused another ruckus, but thankfully both ammo consumption and frame damage stayed within manageable limits. After the mission, the Commander invited me for a walk nearby to unwind. We spoke about the current state of the AR Team, and about “her” as well. Once again, we came away with no new intel about her… But no matter the obstacles, or how long it takes, we’ll never give up the search. ​ Back aboard the Elmo, I had intended to help Soppo tidy her dorm, but instead I ran into Mechty. She was over the moon when I agreed to part with my Mysterious Warrior Transformation Bracelet and give it to her. In return, she brought over pillows, snacks, and games. Soppo was immediately drawn to the games.

​Though we’ve worked with 404 many times before, peaceful moments like these are rare. I’m glad Soppo has found a new friend…

​But why did it have to be a Dinergate pillow of all things?! ​ Tonight, everyone aboard the Elmo gathered for a group dinner. Familiar comrades, the familiar Commander, and familiar dishes. It all reminded me of the days at Griffin. Miss Springfield brewed us coffee; it had been so long since I’d last tasted this flavor. Our new companions are just as remarkable, and their combat capabilities give us confidence and reassurance for the road ahead.

​Out of curiosity, I asked Sharkry and Vepley about their professions. To stand on stage, to express themselves, and to bring love and hope to their audience… Perhaps idols are heroes too, but in a different form?

​Maybe I should pay more attention to this from now on. After all, our journey has only just begun, and this journal will be the vessel that carries many more moments aboard the Elmo.
