帝国ラインフォルト社製、 《山猫号》か……
The Bobcat, huh?
帝国ラインフォルト社製、 《山猫号》か……
The Bobcat, huh?
知っている船なのか?
You familiar with it?
ああ、顔なじみだ。
You could say that.
しかし…… このデータ、興味深いな。
I'm surprised by what I'm seeing here, though.
『カプア特急便』…… 元空賊どもが今では 運送会社をやっているらしい。
Last I saw them, they were sky bandits, but it looks like they're running a delivery service now.
フッ、やれやれ…… まったくせせこましい限りだな。
Heh. Really, now? Talk about simpletons.
まあ、ともかく向こう側に 戦闘の意志はなさそうだ。
Anyway, looks like they have no interest in fighting us.
このまま放っておくぞ。
Let's just leave 'em be.
……待て。 僕たちの任務を忘れたのか。
...Not so fast. Have you forgotten our mission?
今回のテストにまさしく もってこいの相手じゃないか。
I'd say they're the perfect target for carrying it out, wouldn't you?
まさか、アレを けしかけるつもりか?
...Wait. You're pulling my leg, right? Attacking THEM?
今回はあくまでも テスト作動だけの予定だぞ。
We only need to test whether they operate properly today. There's no reason to actually use them in combat.
フフン、そんなことを 言ってるから出世が遅れるんだ。
Puh-lease, my comrade. You're never going to move up the ranks with that attitude.
相手が王国軍なら話は別だが……
If our target was a Royal Army ship, I'd agree with you...
ヤツラには何の拠り所もない。 攻撃した所でリスクなどないさ。
...but it's just an isolated ship full of ex-bandits. There's no risk to be had here.
そ、それはそうだが……
W-Well, I suppose that's true...
それに《十三工房》も 正確な実戦データを望んでいる。
Besides, the Thirteen Factories want accurate combat data.
褒められこそすれ、 処罰されることなんかないさ。
There's no way we're going to get punished for doing this! We might even earn ourselves a nice reward.
……分かった、そこまで言うなら。
...All right. You talk a good game.
だが、責任は取ってもらうぞ。
But if this thing backfires, you're taking responsibility for whatever happens.
……どうする、回収するか?
What should we do? Should we go down and recover him?
え? ああ……
What? Oh...
いや、別にいいんじゃないか?
Forget it. I say we just leave him.
だが、カンパネルラ様も ヤツをお気に入りみたいだし……
Lord Campanella seems to have taken quite a liking to him, though... You sure?
だからこそ、だ。
I think that's all the more reason we should leave him.
何しろカンパネルラ様は あの性格でいらっしゃる。
You know what Lord Campanella's personality is like.
ありのままを報告すれば むしろ喜んでくれそうじゃないか?
He'll probably find the whole thing much more entertaining this way.
…………………………
...
......
……ま、それもそうか。
I guess you're right.
