Répliques

……ケビン………

Kevin...

Kevin...

ああ…… またあの匂いやな……

Yeah. It's that smell again.

柩のような悪魔が 出現した時の匂いか……

The same one that you smelled before that coffin-like devil appeared?

（……どこだ………？）

(...Where's it coming from?)

は、はわわっ……

Uh-oh...

A-Aïe aïe aïe...

は、話は聞いたけど 正直ゾッとしないね……

W-Well, that doesn't sound good...

……面白い。

...Heh. Bring it on.

{color 2}フフ…… この匂いに気付くか。

{color 2}So you noticed the smell, did you?

さすがは教会の狗#2Rイヌ#…… ずいぶんと鼻が利くことだ。{color 0}

The dogs of the church have good noses... if nothing else.{color 0}

……誰や！？

Who's there?!

Qui est là ?!

！！！

...!!

!!!

何者……！？

Who are you?!

Qui êtes-vous ?!

……ようやくのお出ましか。

I was wondering when you'd finally show your face.

あんたが黒騎士の 言ってた《王》ってヤツやな？

You're the 'lord' that knight spoke of, aren't you?

{color 2}フフ、そうだな。

{color 2}Haha. I suppose I am.

この《影の国》を 統べているという意味では まさにその通りであろうな。

I do, after all, rule this land of Phantasma... Such a name is only fitting.

私のことは 《影の王》とでも呼ぶがいい。{color 0}

You may call me the Lord of Phantasma if you so wish.{color 0}

影の……王。

The Lord of Phantasma...

{color 2}#1580Fはは、その名の由来は 聖典には存在していない筈。

{color 2}#1580FIndeed.

そうであろう？ リース・アルジェント。{color 0}

That's not a name ever mentioned in your beloved Testaments, is it, Ries Argent?{color 0}

……私のことまで………

So you know who I am, too?

フン、よっぽど念入りに 探りを入れてたみたいやな。

Hmph. Someone's brushed up on their homework.

……挨拶は そのくらいにしてもらおう。

That's enough time spent on trivial greetings.

《影の王》と言ったな……

Listen to me, Lord of Phantasma, or whatever your name is.

もし貴様が、この状況を 引き起こした黒幕ならば……

If all we've seen here is your doing...

即刻、王都を 元に戻してもらおう！

...then return Grancel to the way it used to be at once!

さもなくばこの場で斬る！

Should you refuse to comply, I shall cut you down here myself!

{color 2}#1580F#5Pフフ、そなたの要求は あまりに空しく意味がない。

{color 2}#1580F#5PMy, my. Your request is so meaningless, I scarcely know how to respond.

敬愛の心も度を過ぎれば 真実を捉える妨げとなろう。

There's no harm in devotion, but done in excess, it can only serve to cloud your eyes to the truth.

解るかな？ ユリア・シュバルツ。{color 0}

Well? Do you understand now, Julia Schwarz?{color 0}

な、なに……！？

Wh-What?!

やはり…… そういう事でしたか。

I see my suspicions were right after all.

僕たちが先程までいた グランセルは全て偽物……

The Grancel we've been fighting our way through isn't even the real thing, is it? It's just an imitation of it.

いや、《影の国》の中に 再現された模造物#6R フェイク#ですね？

A replica of the city created here in Phantasma.

な……！

That can't be...

そんなことって……

Could that really be true...?

……しかし、それで 一通りのことが説明できる。

If we assume it is, everything falls into place. Everything we thought was strange suddenly makes complete sense.

漆黒の大門に無人の街角……

How that giant black gate appeared at the city's entrance, how it ended up completely devoid of people...

昔に巻き戻った部屋に 構造すら変化している遺跡……

Even how the room with the elevator went back to the way it used to be and the sealed area's structure completely changed.

そうやな、ヨシュア君？

Am I on the right track, Joshua?

ええ、その通りです。

Precisely.

{color 2}#1580F#5Pクク……やれやれ。 そなたは優等生すぎる。

{color 2}#1580F#5POh, dear... You're a little too capable for your own good.

もう少し可愛気があった方が 私としては楽しめるのだがな。{color 0}

If only you could be more darling and naive. It would make things much more fun for me.{color 0}

あなたの娯楽に興味はない。

Do I look like I care about whether you're having fun or not?

……興味があるのは エステルの安否だけだ。

All I care about is Estelle's safety.

{color 2}#1580F#5Pフフ、解っているさ。

{color 2}#1580F#5PAhh. But of course.

だが、愛する心もまた 強すぎれば真実を遠ざける。

Still, much like Julia Schwarz's devotion to those she serves, love, too, can serve to keep the truth forever out of reach.

違うかな？ ヨシュア・ブライト。{color 0}

Is that not so, Joshua Bright?{color 0}

………っ…………

...

......

フン…… やはりそういうことか。

I see my suspicions were right after all.

オレらがさっきまでいた グランセルぜんぶ偽物……

The Grancel we've been fighting our way through isn't even the real thing, is it? It's just an imitation of it.

いや、この《影の国》の中に 再現されたパチモンやな？

A replica of the city created here in Phantasma.

な……！

That can't be...

そんなことって……

Could that really be true...?

だが、確かにそれなら 王都の異常も説明できる……

That would explain everything.

要するに、貴様の悪趣味な舞台に 付き合わされていたということか。

Yet the thought leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Have we done nothing more than act out some repulsive play devised for your own self-satisfaction?

{color 2}#1580F#5Pフフ、その通りだ。

{color 2}#1580F#5PThat you have.

役者と観客の気分を 一度に味わえる醍醐味……

Though I would prefer you thought of it as a valuable, unique experience.

得難い体験だっただろう？ ミュラー・ヴァンダール。{color 0}

It's not often that one has the chance to play both the actors and their audience, is it, Mueller Vander?{color 0}

フン……下らんな。

Hmph. It's not an experience I ever wanted.

も、もしかして……

W-Wait...

波止場にあった山猫号も ニセモノだっていうわけ！？

Does that mean the Bobcat at the port is a fake, too?!

{color 2}#1580F#5Pさて…… それは今回の答え合わせには 入っていない問題だ。

{color 2}#1580F#5PI'm afraid that's a question I have no intention of answering at the present time.

……果たして本物の船が 他の場所に隠されているのか。

Perhaps that is the real ship after all. Or is the real one hidden elsewhere?

そしてそなたの兄たちが 今、どこでどうしているのか。

Only time will tell...and only time will tell where your dear brothers are, too.

どう思う？ ジョゼット・カプア。{color 0}

What do you think, Josette Capua?{color 0}

くっ……

Ugh...

Ugh...

で、でも確かに それなら色々と説明できます。

Still, that would explain all the weird things we've been struggling to figure out...

《影の国》そのものの正体は 相変わらず判らないですけど……

...even if it wouldn't explain just what Phantasma really is.

{color 2}#1580F#5Pはは……それでいい。

{color 2}#1580F#5PHaha. I would be rather troubled if it did. Where's the fun in handing out the answers all at once?

そなたの理解は正しく、 そして理想的な段階にある。

Still, you are quite right, and your understanding is deepening at the pace I hoped it would.

私は満足だよ。 ティータ・ラッセル。{color 0}

I'm rather pleased with you, Tita Russell.{color 0}

ふぇっ……！？

H-Huh...?!

そ、その、どうも……

I'm glad, I...umm...guess?

そうか…… 陛下と殿下は今も無事で……

So all this time, Her Majesty and Princess Klaudia were safe...

女神よ…… あなたの慈悲に感謝します。

Oh, Aidios... Thank you for your unwavering mercy.

{color 2}#1580F#5Pおやおや…… 何を安心している？

{color 2}#1580F#5POh? Your relief strikes me as coming more than a little prematurely...

そなたの案ずる者たちが 無事だと誰が言ったのかな？{color 0}

Whoever said that those you care about are safe? It wasn't me.{color 0}

え……

Pardon...?

なっ……！

No!

ま、まさか…… その石の中には……！？

D-Does that contain...?!

{color 2}#1580F#5Pフフ…… この《第二星層》における 最後の宝物#4Rほうもつ#といったところか。

{color 2}#1580F#5PHaha... Think of this as the final reward placed for you to earn on this second plane.

そして無論…… 宝物には試練が付き物だ。{color 0}

Of course, rewards aren't given for free. If you wish to earn it, you will have to overcome a trial first.{color 0}

！！！

...!

Ah... !

これが…… 聖典にある悪魔！

A devil?!

はわわっ……！

Oh, no!

Oh, non !

な、なにコイツ！？

Wh-What IS that thing?!

C-C'est quoi ce truc ?!

これが悪魔か……！

This is what a genuine devil looks like...?

聖典に記された 七十七の悪魔の一匹……

This is another of the seventy-seven devils mentioned in the Testaments...

煉獄を守る門番の一柱にして 数多の魔を従える軍団長……

One of the two gatekeepers of Gehenna and leader of a vast army of minions...

《暴虐》のロストルム……！

...Rostrum the Savage!

クッ……何考えてんねん！

Gah... Are you INSANE?!

こんなモン実体化させたら 貴様もタダではすまへんぞ！？

How do you think you can handle something that powerful after bringing it to life?!

{color 2}#1580F#5Pフフ、それを何とかするのが そなたらに与えられた役回りだ。

{color 2}#1580F#5PI need not worry, for I have you to defeat it for me.

さあ、せいぜい楽しむがいい！{color 0}

Enjoy!{color 0}

くっ…… む、無茶苦茶や……！

Gah... Th-That thing was crazy...

信じられない…… ……追い返せたなんて……

I can't believe...we were able to defeat it.

そ、それよりも……！

B-But now...!

{color 2}#1580Fフフ…… なかなかの見世物だった。

{color 2}#1580FHaha... That was a truly delightful spectacle.

おひねりだ──受け取るがいい。{color 0}

Well, take your reward. You've earned it.{color 0}

あ……

Oh...

Oh...

{item item[855]}{color 0}を手に入れた。

{color 5}Received {item item[855]}{color 5}.

よかった、これで……

Thank goodness...

ユリアさん……

I'm glad we got it for you, Julia.

ユ、ユリアさん……

Heehee. I'm so glad we got it.

大尉さん……

Captain...

……大尉………

Captain...

フン、約束だけは きちんと守るみたいやな。

Heh. Surprised you make good on your promises.

単刀直入に聞く── あんたの狙いはなんや？

Now, you ready to cut down to the chase? What do you want from us?

オレたちに何を望んでる！？

What the hell is the point of all of this?!

{color 2}#1580F#5Pはは、ケビン・グラハム。

{color 2}#1580F#5PHaha. Poor Kevin Graham. Poor, pitiful Kevin.

あまり私を 失望させないで欲しいものだ。

Please try not to let me down any more than you already have.

我が名は影── なればその真実もまた そなたらの中にのみ存在する。

I am a phantasm--a shadow. Much as a shadow only exists when there is something to cast it, I, too, only exist because of something within your number.

解るかな、この意味が……？{color 0}

Do you grasp my meaning?{color 0}

……え…………

...Wha...?

ケビン……？

Kevin?

Kevin ?

……フン、戯れ言を。

...Hmph. How could I? You're just spouting nonsense.

思わせぶりなこと言って 茶を濁そうとしても無駄やで。

If you think being all cryptic is gonna confuse us and lead us astray, you're very much mistaken, buddy.

{color 2}#1580F#5Pそう、我が言#2Rこと#の葉#2R は#は すべて戯れで出来ている……

{color 2}#1580F#5PTrue enough. Spouting cryptic nonsense is simply what I do.

そなたがそう思うのならば 私はそういうものなのだろう。{color 0}

That IS what you believe, is it? Then it must be true.{color 0}

ざけんな……

...rew you...

{color 2}#1580F#5Pフフ、そうだな。

{color 2}#1580F#5PHaha. Perhaps I ought to go by a different name after all.

いっそ《影の王》改め、 《戯言王》と名乗るとしようか？{color 0}

How do you think Lord of Nonsense sounds? More fitting, perhaps?{color 0}

ざけんな言うてるやろ！

I said, SCREW YOU!

ふえっ……！？

Whoa!

えっ……！？

Wha...?!

Qu... ?!

ケビン……！？

Kevin?!

ど、どうしていきなり……

Wh-What's wrong with you...?

……落ち着け。{wait} #1063Fそれこそ“影”や。

Nothing. Don't worry.{wait} #1063FThat's literally just a shadow.

え……

...It is?

あ……

Oh...

Oh...

分け身……いや空蝉#4Rうつせみ#か。

So that was a body double...or an empty shell is more appropriate in this case.

戦いの最中に すり変わったのか……

They must have switched while we were fighting that devil.

フン…… 戦いの最中にすり変わったか。

Hmph. They must have switched while we were fighting that devil.

い、いつのまに……

W-We barely took our eyes off them!

い、いつのまに！？

W-We barely took our eyes off them!

{color 2}#40Wフフ、よくぞ見破った。

{color 2}#40WI commend you for noticing.

この《第二星層》における そなたらの役目は終わりだ。

Still, your role on this plane is now over.

いざ、白き翼を手に入れ さらなる深淵へと挑むがいい。

Add the wings of white to your number and journey on deeper into the abyss you stand inside.

はは……次なる邂逅を 楽しみにしているぞ………{color 0}

I shall be awaiting our next encounter... Hahaha...{color 0}

フン…… 芝居がかったやっちゃ。

Please. They take their overblown theatrics way too seriously.

ああいう芸風は 寒いだけやっちゅうねん。

Our resident evildoer's going to have to work on their act if they want to sound like anything more than a walking cliche.

……ケビン………

Umm...

Euhhh...

さてと、新たな封印石も 手に入ったことですし……

Anyway, we're done here, and we've got ourselves another sealing stone to open up...

いったん拠点に戻って 中の人を解放しましょうか。

...so let's mosey on back to the base.

『白き翼』って言葉で おおよそ見当が付きましたし。

I mean, I think we all know who's inside at this point.

フッ、確かにな。

Heh. Indeed.

さてと、新たな封印石も 手に入ったことやし……

Anyway, we're done here, and we've got ourselves another sealing stone to open up...

いったん拠点に戻って 中の人を解放するとしよう。

ええ、確かに。

Yeah.

Ouais.

そ、そーですね。

Right.

Oui.

うん。 さすがにボクもピンときたよ。

I think it's obvious even to me this time.

……ああ。 そうしてもらえると助かる。

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Next Chapter]

[Chapitre suivant]

これが《第三星層》に 通じている転位陣やな……

Well, this should take us to the third plane.

本来はここに、 《環》を封じるための古代装置が 置かれていたはずなんやけど。

Funny how this warp ended up being in the exact spot that device to seal the Aureole was in the real world.

《環》を封じる……

Device?

もしかして報告書にあった 《第一結界》？

Are you referring to the first barrier mentioned in that report?

ああ、異空間の中で 《環》を時間凍結するっていう 仕掛けだったみたいやな。

Yeah. The one designed to temporally freeze it in another dimensional space.

そこまでしてても 《ゴスペル》による影響は 防げなかったみたいやけど。

Although unfortunately for the guys who pulled it off, it looks like even that wasn't enough to stop the Gospels being able to influence it.

……なるほど。

I see...

Je vois...

でも結局、《輝く環》は どこかに消えたんですよね……

We still don't know what happened to the Aureole, either.

お母さんたちが湖を調べていたのも 《環》が見つからないかっていう 期待があったからみたいですし……

Part of the reason Mom and the army were looking under the lake was to see if they could find the Aureole there, but they didn't have any luck.

ただ、浮遊都市が崩壊したことから 完全に壊れたんじゃないかって 推測されているみたいですけど……

But there seem to be plenty who think that the Liber Ark collapsing means the Aureole itself is no more.

ですが結局、《輝く環》は どこかに消えてしまいました。

We still don't know what happened to the Aureole, either.

浮遊都市が崩壊したことから 完全に壊れたのではないかと 推測されているようですが……

There seem to be many who think that the Liber Ark collapsing means that the Aureole itself is no more, too... Which is possible, I suppose.

ワイスマンが動揺していた以上、 何か予測も付かないことが 起きたのは間違いないでしょう。

All we really know is that judging by how shaken Weissmann was, something unexpected happened. Beyond that, nothing.

だが結局、《輝く環》は どこかに消えてしまった。

We still don't know what happened to the Aureole, either.

浮遊都市が崩壊したことから 完全に壊れたのではないかと 推測はされているのだが……

Many seem to believe that the Liber Ark's collapse means that the Aureole itself is no more, but we can't say so for sure.

だが結局、《輝く環》とやらは どこかに消えてしまったそうだ。

We still don't know what happened to the Aureole, either.

浮遊都市が崩壊したことから 完全に壊れたのではないかと 推測されているようだが……

Many seem to believe that the Liber Ark's collapse means that the Aureole itself is no more, but there's no way to say for sure.

やっぱり、あの眼鏡の 悪趣味野郎を捕まえない限り 真相は判らないんじゃない？

Don't think we're ever gonna know for sure what happened unless someone catches that sick freak with the glasses and grills him on it.

今、どこでどうしてるのかは 知らないけどさ。

Not that anyone knows where he is right now.

……真相を知っているのは あのワイスマン教授だけかも しれませんね。

...I fear Professor Weissmann may be the only one who knows the truth about exactly what happened.

今、どこで何をしているのか 想像も付きませんが……

Although I don't have the faintest idea where he could be now or what he's doing there...

恐らく、その逃げたという ワイスマンを捕まえない限り、 真相は闇のままだろうな。

I imagine the only way to ascertain the truth of what happened will be to capture Weissmann and get the answer from him...

今、どこで何をしているのかは 想像も付かないが。

Although, I can't even imagine where he is or what he must be doing now.

恐らく、その逃げたという ワイスマンを捕まえない限り、 真相は闇のままだろう。

I imagine the only way to ascertain the truth of what happened will be to capture Weissmann and get the answer from him...

今、どこで何をしているのか 想像も付かないが……

Although, I can't even imagine where he is or what he must be doing now.

……真相を知っているのは　 ワイスマンだけかもしれません。

Maybe Weissmann is the only one who knows the truth about what happened.

逃げた後、何をしているのか 僕にも判りませんが……

I've got no idea what he's been doing since he escaped, though...

え……

...What?

... Quoi ?

……ですが報告では……

B-But the report said quite clearly...

──その件に関しては 教会でも引き続き調査中ですわ。

No one in the church is sure what happened to him, either. It's still being looked into.

ただ、今回の件に限って言えば ワイスマンは無関係やと思います。

Still, I think it's fairly safe to say that Weissmann isn't involved in what's happening right here.

関係してたら、これ見よがしに 挑発してくるでしょうし。

If he were, I'm sure he'd be openly reveling every second of this. You all know what kinda guy he is.

うーん、確かに。

Yeah, that's true.

ふむ……確かに。

Hmm... A valid point.

わざわざ仮面を付けて 登場する意味はないか。

He doesn't have anything to gain by wearing a mask like that, I suppose.

わざわざ仮面を付けて　 登場する意味はないか……

He doesn't have anything to gain by wearing a mask like that, I suppose.

わざわざ仮面を付けて 現れる意味はなさそうですね。

He doesn't really have anything to gain by wearing a mask like that, I suppose...

わざわざ仮面を付けて 登場したりはしないよね。

He doesn't really have anything to gain by wearing a mask like that, I suppose...

......

ま、そのあたりも含めて まだまだ謎は多そうです。

We've got way too many unanswered questions at this point. All we can do is keep looking for answers.

先に進むんなら、敵の出方も含めて 注意しといた方がええでしょう。

The less we know, the more we have to be on guard, though. So we'd best be careful.

な、リース？

Right, Ries?
