Darling in the Franxx Drama CD Volume 3 "Part 1: Nines"
(APE) Thank you for your hard work, Doctor.
With this, the final maintenance was completed in time.
Doctor: It wasn't unreasonable to do.
APUS thoughts with other people?
… I will leave.
(APE): Wait. It's almost time for the children to wake up
Alpha: I knew our reason for existence from the moment we were born.
So we do not have conflict or chaos. There is only useless life.
Because that is the meaning of our existence.
But, what about her thinking?
Recently, I am concerned.
Although she's a similar being,
she finds her barren value in the outside world,
and things against her destiny.
Alpha: Huu...
That was a refreshing wake up call, wasn't it?
Let's go.
Cool Narcissist, Nine Beta.
Crazy and wild, Nine Gamma.
Cute little demon child, Nine Delta.
Kind and benevolent, Nine Epsilon.
And then the blonde and noble child, Nine Alpha.
Internally, perfect hermaphrodites. Androgynous.
(Alpha) Yes. We are…
APE's Elite Guard and Special Force. 9's!
Beta: It's decided. We're too perfect, it hurts.
Gamma: One shot of maintenance makes us lively, doesn't it?
Delta: But, after all this Iota hasn't done it once.
Epsilon: Though it's required, it's a little embarrassing, actually.
Beta: Wait, Epsilon. You don't need to listen to that.
Gamma: That's right. We should always be one.
How about it, Zeta, Eta, Theta?
"Hm? Mhm mhmm. Ohhhh. Yes, we're always one."
Beta: The triples are also saying "Aah."
Epsilon: Did they really say that...
Alpha: Huhu. Then, everyone.
Let's start on Papa's report.
Alpha: In conclusion,
there are Klaxosaurs around the Grand Crevasse.
There are 265 bodies, 1 Lehmann-class, and 3 Gutenbergs.
Papa: Thank you for going through the trouble, 9'S.
All your hard work is going towards one goal.
I expect your good work to continue.
Delta: Papa praised us again!
Beta: We retrieved cores without damaging them
Hringhorni requires the purest, highest-quality of cores.
Gamma: Only we are capable of doing this sort of thing.
Alpha: Because we're not limited in the same way as humans,
we can deeply connect in the Franxx.
Therefore, this task was not formidable.
Beta: Oi, oi, Alpha.
Do we need to name names, here?
Gamma: That's right. There's no comparison.
We're better than them in every way.
Alpha: But… Well, for us,
I wonder how much we know about them.
Beta: What?
Alpha: Don't you want to know?
Clearly Squad 13's parasites are different
from other parasites we've seen so far.
Delta: They certainly are strange ones.
Alpha: The taste of that food they just made,
we don't know, do we?
Beta: I don't think I want to eat it.
Epsilon: Besides, we have complete control over our metabolism.
We don't need to bathe, use the toilet, or eat.
Alpha: See here. So, even when we're angry,
we don't fight over baths or meals.
Gamma: ... For sure.
Alpha: And then,
the most difficult to comprehend is reproductive behavior.
I wonder about it when they say "kiss".
Beta: "Kiss" ?
Gamma: What's a "Kiss" ?
Alpha: The act of bringing two mouths together
Delta: Uuuu--eeehhh?! What is that...
Beta: Won't that spread bacteria?
Delta: Even if it were a thing,
I definitely don't like Gamma.
Gamma: Wha--! I also refuse [to kiss you] !
Epsilon: Hey, why do people do it?
Alpha: Isn't it strange?
It's said that they do it to stay with another.
They cannot live without it,
lest they be an unstable and incomplete creature.
However, Iota and Code 016 were more deeply linked in the Franxx.
Did you see?
Strelizia's red color is the color of magma fuel itself.
All: ... hm.
Alpha: Isn't everyone interested?
All: (deep breath)
Gamma: … ah. (anxious)
Alpha: I want to know.
Why does Iota live with human beings, despite having the same abilities as we do?
And, considering that, my heart is disturbed somehow.
I will not be able to stop thinking about it.
So, there is something I want to dare to try.
Delta: Try?
Alpha: I've obtained samples from Mistellin.
Beta: Oi, oi, did you bring that thing here without quarantining it?
Epsilon: Is that--?
Alpha: It's called "Candy."
In the past, they were given for something special (as rewards.)
With this, you may experience human feelings.
Beta: Candy….?
Alpha: Huu… scary?
Didn't Iota take these all the time? (goading)
Gamma: What?! ...Kuh, how dare you say such a thing...
(wrappers opening, eating it)
... Wh-what is this?!
Delta: A mysterious flavor… this is… sweet?
Beta: Therefore, this is…
All: Delicious… ?
Alpha: Tch, useless… I can't resist...
This is a drug!
How do humans live while overcoming such temptation?!
Epsilon: Hu… hu hu…
(hysterical laughter?)
Delta: Did Epsilon break!?
Beta: Stop, stop! Get off me!
Oi, stop that!
This vulgar dance is--!
Epsilon: You're… too… noisy… Eehee hee hee…
Ahaha... Ahahaha!!
Delta: Wow… I'm drunk…
Alpha: I can't handle this.
Beta: Oi! Stop! Don't put that in my mouth!
Epsilon: Beta and Gamma are really bad at having fun!
Beta: This is… stop!
Epsilon: More~! More~!
(another candy)
Gamma: Geh... hh... Really… having... fun?
So… this is... this is how it is!
Nines!!
Haha-- Ahahaha! (hysterical laughter)
Delta: Uuu...This silly punk is making me laugh!
Beta: Why am I here…
Alpha's always the important one…
Alpha: Gh-- Beta, that's really negative thinking...
Beta: Alpha… beta…. Alpha…. beta...
Gamma: C'mere, Delta!
(smooching noise)
Delta: AAAAA---- N-N-N-NYAA-AAA--STOP IIIIIT!
Gamma: It's fine, it's fine!
Alpha: But, despite this, there is something I already knew.
Whatever is making us so upset…
humans... can't be denied.
Doctor: Is this ok? Let them be.
(APE): Catnip… It's just sugar sickness.
The blood connection cannot be denied.
Code 002's characteristics have been inherited.
Doctor: (knowingly) Are these emotions... ?
Hahaha… Without them knowing,
the old stench of human nature has begun to appear...
(APE): What are you planning, Doctor?
Doctor: I didn't do anything.
In letting them interact with others, I got good test results.
They're a good team, right?
I'm returning home, I'm in the middle of important monitoring.
There will be problems as soon as I take my eyes off the children.
(APE): I want to know about emotions...
Absurd feelings cannot be contained when interacting with others.
It is something we cannot understand.
Alpha: I do not need warmth.
If you don't know that,
distortion will be a big wave and it will disturb our heart.
So, I just wanted to know, in order for us to stand straight.
We are the 9's.
We are Papa's chosen for a higher purpose.
(that sure was a lowkey worldbuild, high-key comedy.)
