悪いがちょっと 兄貴を探して来てくれ。
Sorry, but would you mind looking for Don for me?
悪いがちょっと 兄貴を探して来てくれ。
Sorry, but would you mind looking for Don for me?
あらかじめ届け先を 確認しときたいんでな。
I want to make sure we're going to the right destination.
親分……じゃなく社長も 今朝は張り切ってましたぜ。
The boss was working like mad this morning.
きっと今ごろ疲れちゃって 昼寝でもしてるんでさあ。
I'm guessing he's probably tired and taking a nap right about now as a result.
どうも、お疲れさまっす!
Hey there!
運送屋になったって言ったら おフクロが喜んじゃって……
My mom was really happy when I told her that we're operating a courier service instead of being sky bandits now.
へへっ、今年は久々に 里帰りができそうっすよ。
Haha. Looks like I might actually be able to go home and see everyone this year!
運送屋になったって言ったら おフクロも喜んでくれましたよ。
My mom was really happy when I told her that we're operating a courier service instead of being sky bandits now.
今まで迷惑かけちゃった分、 ガンガン稼いで親孝行しますぜ。
Now I'm finally earning an honest living, it's probably about time I started making up for all the trouble I've caused everyone at home.
あ、ど、どうもお嬢……
G-Good day, Josette...
一度は空賊団から 逃げ出しちまったオレを 社員にしてくれるなんて……
I still can't believe your brothers were good enough to make me an employee of the company after I ran away from being a bandit that time...
も、もう兄貴たちには 一生頭が上がらんですよ。
I'm really never going to be able to repay them for their kindness...
かたぎになったからには 心を入れ替えて頑張らないとね。
Now we're earning an honest living, I'm gonna really have to put my back into my work!
ミスしたら指詰める覚悟で バリバリやらしてもらいますよ。
You're gonna see me work like I've never worked before!
山脈の向こう側に ヴァレリア湖を確認――
Valleria Lake's visible on the other side of the mountain range.
うん、どうやら国境は もう目の前みたいだね。
Which means we're almost at the border!
OK、予定通りだぜ。
Right on schedule, too.
キール、推力60%―― 針路、高度はそのまま維持だ。
Reduce our speed to 60%, Kyle. Keep our course and altitude the same.
了解、推力60%にダウン――
You got it. Reducing speed to 60%.
……針路、高度もセット完了だ。
Course and altitude're both good to go.
おし…… 規定航路に入ったぜ。
All right! We're lookin' good.
あとはこのまま 目的地までひとっ飛びだ。
Now all we need is to stay this course and we'll be there in no time.
ふう、やっと一息つけそうだな。
Whew... Time for us to kick back and relax. Finally.
二人とも、お疲れ。
Good job, guys.
へへ、今日も無事に時間を 守れそうで何よりだね。
Haha. It's good to know we should be able to make this delivery on time, too!
がはは、まったくだ。
You're tellin' me!
俺たち、カプア特急便は 信頼と安心と客の笑顔が モットーの運送会社だからな。
The Capua Delivery Service is all about trust, reliability, and happy customers! Without those, we've got nothing!
へへ、空賊だった頃を思うと 未だに信じられないけどな。
I still can't believe this is actually our thing now, though.
うん、それもこれも みんなアリシア女王の 恩赦があってこそだからね。
Same here... None of this would've been possible if Queen Alicia hadn't pardoned us, either.
無罪放免って聞いた時は さすがにびっくりしたけどさ。
I don't think I've ever been as shocked as I was when I found out we were off the hook for EVERYTHING.
ああ、おまけに 私財を使って俺たちの借金の 肩代わりまでしてくれたんだ。
I know, right? And how she paid off our debts with her own funds!
おかげでこの山猫号も 没収されなくて済んだし。
She's the reason we can keep this baby here an' keep on flying. No one can take the Bobcat away from us now.
あの女王には一生、 足を向けて寝られないぜ。
And there's nothing in this world big enough to pay off our debt to her.
ああ、まったくだ。
Damn straight.
この恩義に報いるためにも 早いところ女王さんに 借金を返しちまわねえとな。
Still, the least we can do is pay her back the money she used on our behalf.
うんうん、この調子で 稼げばきっとすぐに返せるよ。
Yeah. At the rate we're going, we should be squared away on that front in no time.
へへ、言ってるそばから 新しい仕事かな?
Oh! Sounds like we've got ourselves a new job to help with that!
あ、あ~、……ゴホン。
*cough*
はい、こちらカプア特急便!
Hello! You've reached Capua Delivery Service!
はい…… ええ、はい……
Yes... I see...
……明日の午前中? ええ、大丈夫ですよ。
...Tomorrow morning, then? Certainly.
わかりました。 では当日伺いに参ります。
Absolutely. All right, we'll see you then.
どこからの依頼?
So I was right, then? Where from?
ああ、今度も 共和国からの依頼だ。
From Calvard, actually.
グランセルまで 小包を一つとのこった。
Someone wants a small parcel delivered to Grancel.
王都ってことは…… 明後日の便での配達か。
If it's Grancel, we can take care of that the day after tomorrow.
ふう、それにしても大繁盛だな。
Man! Who would've guessed business would be booming when we started the company up?
ま、ここまで小回りの利く 運送業は他にないからね。
It makes sense, though. There aren't any other delivery companies out there who can offer the kinda flexibility we do.
そういえば、ドルン兄。 王都で思い出したけど……
Oh, yeah. Speaking of the capital, I've been meaning to ask...
今朝は王都で ギルドに寄ってたよね。
What were you doing in the guild there this morning, Don?
いったい何の用だったの?
I only just remembered it, but it did have me wondering at the time.
……おっと、そうだった。
Oh. Right.
言うのを忘れてたぜ。
You've actually got a lil' something to do with that.
なんなの、ドルン兄?
I do?
実は帝国から、俺たち宛てに 手紙が届いてたんだ。
Y'see, someone sent a letter to us from over in the Empire.
聞いて驚くなよ……
And here's the best part...
差出人はヨシュアの小僧だ。
That someone was none other than Joshua!
ほ、ほんとに!?
R-Really?!
へ~、そいつは珍しいな。
Now, there's someone we don't hear from often.
っていうか、何でもっと早く 教えてくれなかったのさ。
I can't believe you took this long to mention this! I would've wanted to hear, like, RIGHT AWAY.
がはは、すまんすまん。 今朝は何かと慌しかったからな。
My bad! This morning was just so busy, it slipped my mind.
そうだ、ジョゼット。 読んで聞かせてくれねえか?
Anyway, why don't you do the honors for us and read it out loud?
へへ、もちろんだよ。
With pleasure!
{color 5}ドルンから封筒を受け取った。
{color 5}Josette excitedly took the envelope from Don.
ちょっと待ってね……
One second...
確か帝国を周ってたんだよな。
I forgot how Joshua was going around the Empire right now.
さて、今はどうしてるのやら。
I wonder what he's getting up to.
確かに、どの辺にいるんだろうな。
Yeah. Or where he is in the country.
帝国っつっても 場所にも色々あるからな。
It's a damn big place, after all.
ああ、元気にしてりゃいいが……
Well, wherever he's at, I hope he's doing all right for himself.
で、どうしたジョゼット? 早く読んで聞かせてくれよ。
What's the hold up, Josette? You gonna read that letter or not?
……07:00、古美術品……
07:00 - Antique Artwork...
ん? なんだって。
Huh? What?
……ジョゼット? いったい何て書いてあるんだ。
...That's not what it says, is it?
何が書いてあるも何も……
Yes, it is.
コレ……今朝の 配達の伝票じゃないのさ。
Because this isn't a letter--this is the receipt from this morning's delivery!
な!?
What?!
Quoi ?!
……え?
No way...
それも…… 配達先に控えにどうぞって 渡したはずのやつだよ。
It's also the one that should have been given to the person we delivered to for their records.
ま、まさか!?
Y-You're kiddin' me...
はあ、いやな予感がするぜ。
*sigh* I've got a real bad feeling about this...
…………………
...
......
小僧からの手紙は 帝国発行の封筒に入っていた。
The letter from Joshua was in an envelope from the Empire...
同じく、今朝の伝票も 帝国発行の封筒に入っていた。
...and so was the receipt from this morning.
って、ことは……
Which means...
すまねえ……
I'm so sorry, Josette...
どうやら、間違えて手紙の方を 荷物に貼り付けちまったらしい。
I must've gone and attached the letter to the parcel by mistake.
……ッ……………
...!
Ah... !
ふう、やれやれ……
Ohhh, boy...
と、とにかく 急いで配達先に連絡するぜ!
A-Anyway, I'll get in touch with the client right away!
きっと荷物と一緒にあるはずだ。
They should still have it, so if I let them know it's ours, I should be able to get it back.
ドルン兄のバカ!!!#2S
You DUMMY!#2S
っつ!!
...!
Ah... !
うおっ!!
...?!
... ?!
何だってこんなミスすんのさ!
How could you go and screw something this important up?!
ほんっっと、ありえないよ!
HOW?!
ヨシュアから手紙が来たって いうから……うれしかったのに……
Do you have any idea how happy I was when I heard Joshua had sent us that letter?! And then you...you...
ジョゼット……
Josette...
す、すまねえジョゼット。
I really am sorry...
こればっかりは全部、俺の責任だ。
This one's completely on me. You've got every right to be mad.
大体、兄ぃはいつもそうだ。
Oh, it's ALWAYS on you.
昔っから大雑把で……
You've always been the sloppy one--the one who makes stupid mistakes and screws everything up.
いつもみんなにどれだけ 迷惑かけてるか分かってるの?
And it's always the rest of us who suffer for it! You know that, don't you?!
あ、ああ……
Y-Yeah, I do...
お、おいジョゼット。 まだ手紙が無くなったと 決まったわけじゃねえ。
Hold on a minute, Josette. We might still be able to get that letter back, you know.
何もそこまで言うこたあ……
There's no need to be that hard on him...
キール兄はだまってて!#2S
YOU stay out of this!#2S
な……!
...?!
... ?!
そうさ、ホント昔っからだよ。
Hell, we only became sky bandits in the first place because of you screwing things up!
あの時だってそう…… 勝手に契約して勝手にだまされて……
If you hadn't gotten duped into signing that contract, things would've been different!
ボクたちがどれだけ……
Do you have any idea how mu--
ジョゼット!!#2S
JOSETTE!!#2S
ひゃあっ!?
Aaah!
……言い過ぎだ。
I get that you're mad, but there's no need to drag THAT up.
兄貴だって十分反省してるさ。
Don regrets what happened enough as it is.
それに……
Besides...
……え?
Besides what?
……そうさ、何もかも俺のせいさ。
...No, she's right. That was all my fault, just like this is.
俺がしっかりしてりゃあ…… 故郷を追われることもなかったんだ。
If I'd been smarter instead of getting suckered in, we would've never been driven from our home.
……あ………
...Oh...
ふう、お前ってヤツは……
*sigh* Now look what you've done...
何もその話題に 触れることはないだろうに。
Some things are best left undiscussed, and that's definitely one of them.
{color 12}#40W本当なら今も先祖代々の土地で 優雅に暮らしてたはずなんだ……
{color 12}#40WIf it wasn't for me, we'd still be back in our ancestral home living a life of luxury...
{color 12}#40W楽器を弾いて、紅茶を飲んで……
{color 12}#40WDrinking high-class tea, playing music, getting called to fancy parties from time to time...
{color 12}#40Wたまにパーティなんかにも 呼ばれたりしてなあ。
{color 12}#40WBut nah. I had to go and ruin it all for us.
{color 12}おいおい、兄貴……
{color 12}Hey, now...
{color 12}誰も今さら、あの頃の 生活に未練なんてないぜ。
{color 12}We've got no attachment to our old lives, you know. It's all in the past.
{color 12}#40W………………
{color 12}#40W...
{color 12}#40W目先の欲に捉われて うまい話に乗せられて……
{color 12}#40WI had to get greedy and fall for the obvious trap right in front of me.
{color 12}#40W気付いた時に、 残されたのは借財の山だけさ。
{color 12}#40WBecause of that, we lost everything we had and ended up with nothing but a mountain of debt in return.
{color 12}#40W親父の遺した財産だってのに……
{color 12}#40WI lost everything our ancestors had built up just like that.
{color 12}#40W大馬鹿にも程があるってもんだ。
{color 12}#40WSo if there's a bigger idiot out there than me, I've sure never met him.
{color 12}それは、何も 兄貴一人のせいじゃないさ。
{color 12}It's not like you deserve all the blame, Don.
{color 12}ただ俺たちが、世間知らずの ガキだったってだけの話だ。
{color 12}You might've been partly responsible, but so were we for being such naive kids.
それでも、とにかく俺は……
That's not the point, Kyle. It still comes down to me at the end of the day.
ジョゼット、お前からも何か……
Come on! Back me up here, Josette.
………………………
...
......
……ふう、やれやれ。
*sigh*
な、なんだ……!?
Wh-What's going on?!
た、大変でさあ! お頭……じゃなくて社長!!
We've got trouble, boss! ...Er, sir!
い、一体どうしたってんだ!?
What is it?!
へ、へえ…… 後方に紅い飛行艇の影が。
We've got one of those r-red ships on our tail!
ありゃあ……確か結社の。
They were the society's, weren't they?
……え!?
No way!
ちっ、そりゃまずいな。
Bah... That's not good.
兄貴……!
Don!
ああ、構ってる余裕はねえ。
I got it. We can't afford to focus too much on 'em.
積荷の安全確保が第一だ! 全速力で振り切るぞ!!
Our number one priority is protecting our cargo! We need to focus on shaking them off!
了解だ!
Yes, sir!
野郎ども、聞こえるか! 緊急事態発生だ!
You hear me, lads?! We've got ourselves an emergency!
戦闘に備えて 各自の任務をまっとうしやがれ!
Get ready for battle! You've all got jobs to do-- do 'em!
ジョゼット、見えたか?
Did you see it, Josette?
う、うん…… 後方に結社の飛行艇と……
Y-Yeah. I saw it...but...
何だ、どうした?
But what?
見たことのない兵器が数体…… 全部こっちに向かってくる!
It's not alone... There're a bunch of weapons I've never seen before with it, and they're coming this way!
へっ、完全に 狙われちまったってわけか。
Heh. They really want a fight, huh?
ジョゼットはそのまま 後方の機銃で迎撃を頼む!
Focus on firing at them from the rear to fight them off, Josette!
……うん、了解だよ!
Got it!
今、機銃モードに切り替えた。
All right! Machine gun mode enabled.
どうだ、ちゃんと機能してるか?
Is everything in order?
うん、大丈夫!
Yep!
それじゃ、迎撃を開始するね。
I'll get right to work!
ふう、追い払えたかな?
Whew... Is that the last of them?
わからねえ…… が、安心はできねえな。
I don't know... We can't let our guard down just yet.
ジョゼット! 右後方に熱反応だ。
Josette! Heat signal coming at 4 o'clock!
確認できるか!?
Can you see what it is?!
う、うん……
I-I'll get right on it!
O-Ouais...
何だろう……? 人が乗ってるみたい……
What IS that? It looks like it's got a person in it...
こ、こっちに来る……!
Wh-Whatever it is, though, it's comin' this way!
……だめだ、振りきれない。
...Damn it. Can't shake him.
くっ、ちっこい体で何て野郎だ。
Ugh... He's small, but he's persistent!
キール、速度を緩めんじゃねえぞ!
Whatever you do, don't drop our speed, Kyle!
ああ、分かってる!
I know!
ジョゼット…… ちょっとでいい、隙を作れるか?
Can you try and make us an opening to escape, Josette?
うん、任せて……
I'll try.
何とかやってみるよ!
No. I'll DO it!
や、やった!?
D-Did I get him?!
ああ、それも ヴァレリア湖に墜ちたみたいだ。
I'll say!
人的被害の心配もないだろう。
Best of all, it looks like he fell into Valleria Lake, so he'll be fine.
どうやら、結社のやつらも 尻尾巻いて逃げたみてえだな。
The society guys beat it, too.
よくやった、ジョゼット!
Damn fine job you did, there, Josette!
お前の射撃がなかったら 今頃湖に落ちてたのは 俺たちの方だったかもしれねえ。
If not for you, we'd probably be the ones swimmin' in the lake now.
ああ、本当に見事なもんだぜ。
Yeah. You did great.
へへ、二人とも褒めすぎだってば。
Heehee. Oh, there's no need to make that big a deal out of it!
キール兄だったら あと少しで振り切れてたと思うし。
You probably could've thrown them off our tail even without my help if you'd had a bit more time, Kyle.
それに、そもそも ドルン兄の指揮があったから……
And besides, it was all possible because of Don's leadership...
……あっ。
...Oh.
... Oh.
ど、どうした、ジョゼット!?
Wh-What's wrong, Josette?!
……あ、そうだった。
Oh, yeah.
……ん?
Huh?
Hein ?
もしかして、二人とも まだ気にしてるのか。
Are you two still stuck on that?
ふう、お互い素直じゃないと いうか何というか……
*sigh* There's really something to be said about being honest with one another...
ほら、ジョゼット。 言いたいことがあるんなら さっさと言っちまえよ。
Hop to it, Josette. If you've got somethin' you want to say, spit it out.
う、うん……
R-Right...
O-Ouais...
……………………………
...
......
……ごめんね、ドルン兄。
I'm sorry, Don.
ジョ、ジョゼット…… 俺を許してくれるのか?
B-But then...you'll forgive me?
この不甲斐ない兄を……
After how badly I messed up?
だ、だから…… そうだって言ってるじゃん。
Wh-Why else would I be saying sorry to you?
何度も言わせないでよ。
You don't need to make me repeat myself!
うおおおおお!
Waaaaaaaaah!
ド、ドルン兄?
Wh-What's up with YOU?
俺は…… 俺は何て幸せ者なんだ!
I really am the luckiest bastard alive!
こんな可愛い妹に恵まれて…… 俺みたいな果報者はいねえ!
Who else can say they have a younger sister as great as you? No one, that's who!
うおおおおお!
Waaaaaaaaaaaah!
や、やめてよ、ドルン兄。 みんなに聞こえちゃうじゃん。
S-Stop that... Everyone can hear you!
お、おうよ……
S-Sorry...
それと、キール兄。 心配かけてごめん。
Oh, and sorry for all of that, too, Kyle...
……本当にありがとう。
...And thanks.
よせよ、ジョゼット。 俺は別に何もしちゃいねえさ。
Aww, forget it. That was all you.
お嬢~、お嬢はいますかい?
Is Your Ladyship in here?
ロッシ……? いったいどうしたの?
I am, but what is it?
いや、さっき 積荷を固定してる時に 気付いたんですがね。
Well, when I was securing the cargo earlier after we got attacked...
倉庫の床に、こんな封筒が 落ちてたんでさあ。
...I found this envelope on the floor of the storeroom.
何か心当たりねえかと思って……
Was just wondering if you had any idea what it could be.
それって……
Wait...
まさか……
Could it be...?
はは、どうやら届け先にも 行ってなかったみたいだな。
Looks like our client didn't get a receipt OR our letter this time.
はあ、俺ってやつは どこまでドジなんだか……
*sigh* Man, every time I think I can't get any stupider...
こ、これなんですがね。
A-Anyway, it's this thing here.
{color 5}ロッシから封筒を受け取った。
{color 5}Rosco handed over the envelope.
帝国の封筒……やっぱり。
It's from the Empire... This has to be it!
な、何か 問題でもあったんスか?
Th-There a problem?
ううん、 もう解決したから大丈夫。
There was, but it's all fine now.
届けてくれてありがとう。
Thanks for giving this to me.
いやあ、ハハ。 こんなの何でもないスよ。
Aww. Anything for you, Your Ladyship!
では、あっしはこれで。
Well, I'll get back to work.
ふう、とりあえず 手紙が無事でよかったな。
Whew... I'm relieved we found the letter. Lucky us, huh?
で、いったい 何て書いてあるんだ?
So, what's written in it?
ふむふむ、え~とね……
Let's see...
……へ~、もうすぐ 帝国を出発するんだってさ。
...Huh. Apparently, he's going to be leaving the Empire soon.
何でも、人を探してるらしいよ。
He says he's in the middle of looking for someone.
へえ、そうか…… お次はどこへ向かうのやら。
Yeah? I wonder where he's going next.
……で、ジョゼット。
That it, though?
お前へのメッセージはないのか?
I figured there'd be a personal message for you in there or something.
う、うん……
Well, there is, but it's not much.
O-Ouais...
あんまり根を詰めずに、 たまには休むことも忘れずに、って。
It just says not to forget to take it easy once in a while and look after yourself.
へへ、さりげないが 気が利いてるじゃないか。
Haha. At least that shows he cares about you in his own way.
で、その下に……
There's one more thing under it, too...
その下に……?
What's that?
これはノーテンキ女だね。
Ugh... This bit's from Miss Staff-for-Brains.
頑張るのもいいけど、 身体を壊したら元も子もないわよ……
'There's no harm in acting tough, but it's all for nothing if you go and get yourself hurt.'
フン、余計なお世話だよ!
Hmph. SHE can just mind her own business!
はは、そりゃあまた あの嬢ちゃんらしいな。
Sounds like something she'd write, though.
わはは、しかしまあ わざわざ便りをくれるなんざ、 ホントにありがたいこった。
Bwahaha! Sure is nice of them to take the time to send us a letter, huh?
……と、そうこうしてる内に 大分時間が経っちまったな。
Anyway, I'd say break time's over for us.
確かに…… あまり悠長にもしてられないね。
Yeah... We're gonna need to get a move on if we want to make our next delivery on time.
へへ……飛ばすかい、兄貴?
Should I speed her up, then, Don?
ああ、すこしばかり 距離を稼いでおくとするか。
Yeah. We're gonna need to make up for lost time.
推力90%まで上昇―― 時速2000セルジュまで スピードアップだ。
Raise her up to 90% thrust, 2,000 SPH.
アイサー。
Yes, sir!
おっと、あれは……!
Hey! That looks like another stone!
よく見えないけど 多分、あの石だと思う。
It's hard to see from here, but it could very well be.
……私が取ってこようか?
Should I go up and get it?
いや、念のため オレが行った方がええやろ。
Nah. I'll go, just to be sure.
みんなは下で待っててくれ。
You guys wait down here for me.
{item item[853]}{color 0}を手に入れた。
Found {item item[853]}{color 0}.
ほう…… それが例の封印石とやらか。
So this is what those sealing stones look like?
ふむ…… また、あの石みたいだな。
So it was another of those stones after all.
この船にあったっていう事は やっぱり……
I wonder if it being here means what I think it does?
ふむ…… この船にあったという事は……
I wonder whether it being here means what I think it does?
……とりあえず、 いったん拠点に戻るとしよう。
Well, we'll soon find out. Let's get it back to the base.
こいつが解放されれば また何か起こるかもしれへんし。
Here's hoping that releasing whoever's inside it'll make something happen in the city, too.
うん、それがいいかも。
That sounds wise.

Just like the Arseille, then. Hmm...
……今は諦めるしか なさそうですね。
I don't think we have much choice other than to give up for now.
