Répliques

善も悪も、生も死も超えたところを 淡々と歩いてきた。

I wander indifferently in a place that exists beyond good and evil; beyond life and death.

幸も不幸も無い。喜びも悲しみも無い。#0C

There is no fortune or misfortune. No happiness. No sadness.#0C

白と黒が私を切り裂いて、天と地が私を嬲って、 私は淫らになってしまった。

White and black tear into me, heaven and earth torment me... I've been defiled.

どこから始まってどこで終わるのか。#0C

Where does it begin, and where does it end?#0C

私はどこにも属さない。 私は歩#2Rあゆ#んではいないのだ。

I don't belong anywhere. I'm not going anywhere.

ただ、世界が回っていた。#0C

But the world just keeps on turning around me...#0C

１．楽園#0C{0x05}

1. Paradise#0C{0x05}

何番に致しましょう。#0C

Which number would you like today?#0C

１５番で。#0C

Fifteen.#0C

かしこまりました。#0C

Certainly.#0C

『レン』、出番だ。 お客様に粗相の無いようにな。

You've been nominated, Renne. Be sure to treat our customer with care.

そこは《楽園》と呼ばれていた。#0C

The place was simply known as 'Paradise.'#0C

館の名前もあったのだろうが、 私たちには知らされていなかった。#0C

No doubt the building itself had a proper name, but none of us were ever told it.#0C

もちろん楽園がどこにあるのか、 私たちは何をしているのか。#0C

Nor were we ever told exactly where in the land we were, or what we were doing here...#0C

そして何故ここにいるのか、も。#0C

Or, indeed, how we ended up there to begin with.#0C

おはよう。#0C

Morning.#0C

……………………#0C

...#0C

おはよう、１５番#6R レ ン#。#0C

Morning, Renne.#0C

…………？？#0C

...?#0C

やあ、やっと起きたね。#0C

Oh, you've finally woken up.#0C

…………『クロス』#0C

Hi, Cross.#0C

クスッ……

Heehee...

Hi hi...

楽園へようこそ、『レン』#0C

Welcome to Paradise, Renne.#0C

…………《楽園》へ、ようこそ。#0C

Welcome to Paradise.#0C

レン、僕仕事に行ってくるよ。 また呼ばれちゃったんだ。#0C

I'm going to have to go, Renne. I've got to go and work.#0C

クロス、またお仕事？#0C

Again?#0C

平気だよ、レン。 またすぐに逢える。

Yeah. It's fine, though. I'll be back before long.

それまで大人しく しているんだよ？#0C

Be a good girl and wait here in the meantime, okay?#0C

クロスという少年は、いつものように 忙しく仕事に出かけて行った。#0C

Cross was always busy with work, and today was no different.#0C

私の知らないところで、彼の凄惨な仕事は 毎日繰り返されているようだった。#0C

What exactly he did and where he did it, I didn't know, but whatever it was, it was clearly horrible.#0C

いや、他の子供たちもみんな。#0C

He wasn't the only one, either.#0C

私の知らないところで、 子供たちは仕事をしていた。#0C

The other children were always going out to work, too.#0C

何故か私には仕事が来なかった。 そう、一度たりとも私は仕事をしなかった。#0C

But for some reason, no one ever called me.#0C

他の子供たちが衰弱し、痩せ衰えていく中、 私だけはおいしいものを食べ お人形で遊んでいればよかった。#0C

The other children became weaker and more emaciated by the day, and yet I spent my time eating delicious food and playing with dolls.#0C

私だけは、特別なのだ。#0C

I, and only I, was somehow special.#0C

……クロスは、私を“お姫様”と呼んだ。#0C

Cross always referred to me as a princess.#0C

おはよう、レン。今日も良いお天気ね。 でも風通しが悪いわ。窓を開けましょ！#0C

Morning, Renne! It sure is beautiful out today, huh? Kinda stuffy in here, though. Let's open a window, okay?#0C

その元気な子はエッタといった。#0C

This girl's name is Etta.#0C

いつもにこにこ、好奇心旺盛で部屋中の あちこちを突#2Rつつ#いてはクロスに怒られていた。

She was always smiling and brimming with curiosity, poking her nose into anything and everything in the room and earning a scolding from Cross for it.

ねえ、レン。一緒に遊びましょ？ わたしもお人形さんごっこ、したいな～。#0C

Hey, you wanna play with me? I wanna play with dolls, too!#0C

いいけどエッタ、お仕事は？ 今日は変なお洋服を着なくていいの？#0C

I don't mind, but do you even have the time? Don't you have work later? Or do you not have to go and wear any weird clothes today?#0C

今はお休み。 だってクロスが出ているんだもの。#0C

Cross is working at the moment, so I've got some free time.#0C

クス、あの子最近指名が増えたわよね。 社会的ニーズってやつかしら。#0C

Heehee. He's sure been getting nominated a lot lately. Maybe that's just what people are into these days?#0C

エッタは少しませている。 くだらない冗談を飛ばしては クスクス笑うのが癖だった。#0C

Etta was a somewhat precocious girl. She loved making stupid jokes and giggling away at them.#0C

アジェは可憐で大人びた女の子。 だからオジさんたちの指名が多かった。#0C

Adje, meanwhile, was more polite and mature. Perhaps that was why she was nominated by so many older men.#0C

でもアジェは一切嫌そうな顔をしない。 そして手際よく仕事を済ませてしまう。#0C

Another thing that stood out about her was the way she never once acted like she hated her work; no matter the day, she always performed with skill and care.#0C

アジェ、お仕事イヤじゃない？ とっても痛いんでしょう？#0C

How come you never seem to hate your work, Adje? I thought it really hurt?#0C

……大丈夫。 レンは気にしなくていい。

...I'm fine. It's nothing you need to worry about, Renne.

いろいろとコツがあるの。 上手にやればすごく簡単なのよ。#0C

There's a few tricks that make it really simple to manage once you know them.#0C

レンが心配することじゃない。 レンは、いつも幸せだから。#0C

So don't worry about me. You just focus on being happy like you always are.#0C

…………うん。#0C

...Okay.#0C

それでいいの。 レンが幸せなら、私も幸せだもの。#0C

That's a good girl. If you're happy, I'm happy.#0C

カトル、いつも殴られてばかりいる男の子。 体が小さいせいか、いつだって お人形さんみたいに遊ばれていた。#0C

Then there was Quatre, whose small, delicate stature always ended with him being battered and played with roughly like he were some sort of doll.#0C

ねえカトル、カトルってば。 またぶたれてしまったの？#0C

Did you seriously end up getting beaten again?#0C

う、うん…… よく分かんない……#0C

Y-Yeah... I don't know why, either.#0C

あたらしい遊びなんだって。 よく分かんないや……#0C

They said it's some kind of new game, but I don't get it...#0C

…………………………………#0C

...#0C

あ、だいじょうぶだよレン。 ぼくはへいき、ぜんぜんへいきさ。#0C

Don't worry about me, Renne. I'm fine! Honest.#0C

いつものことだよ、もうイタくないよ。 レンがいてくれればぜんぜんへいき。#0C

I'm used to it. It doesn't even hurt me anymore. As long as I can come back and find you here, I can deal with anything.#0C

カトルはいつも見えないところで 血を流していた。#0C

Quatre was always bleeding out of our sight.#0C

それは多分、おまじないのひとつだった。#0C

Maybe that was part of his charm.#0C

きれいな人は、きっときれいな血を流すのだ。#0C

I'm sure beautiful people must shed beautiful blood.#0C

ただいま、レン。 少し長引いちゃったよ。#0C

I'm back, Renne. Sorry--that ended up taking longer than I thought it would.#0C

そしてクロス。 彼が私たちのリーダーだった。#0C

Then, finally, there was Cross. He was basically our leader.#0C

クロス、エッタ、アジェ、カトル、 そして私#2Rレン#……#0C

Cross, Etta, Adje, Quatre, and me...#0C

いつも同じ部屋で過ごしている かけがえのない仲間たち……#0C

Each of them were so dear to me, and we spent all the time we could together in this one room.#0C

他にも子供たちはいたみたいだけど どうでもよかった。#0C

To my understanding, there were other children in the building, but they didn't matter to me.#0C

私たちは五人で楽園に住んでいた。#0C

The only ones who did were the four friends I spent my days with--the four who lived in Paradise alongside me.#0C

２．お姫様#0C{0x05}

2. Princess#0C{0x05}

ねえクロス、他のみんなは？#0C

Hey, Cross? What happened to the others?#0C

どうしてお部屋に レンとクロスしかいないの？#0C

How come it's just me and you in here now?#0C

あはは、何を言ってるのさ、レン。#0C

Ahaha. What are you talking about, Renne?#0C

ここには初めから僕たちだけ。 僕たちだけしか居ないんだよ。#0C

What others? It's always been just you and me in here.#0C

……そう、だったかな……#0C

Really? Are you sure? I feel like there were more...#0C

そうだよ。 初めから、僕たちだけの世界さ。#0C

Nope, there weren't. It's always been just you and me.#0C

後で気付いたけれど、他のみんなを 隠していたのはクロスだった。#0C

It was only later when I realized it was Cross who had hidden the others from me.#0C

私に気を遣わせないためか、あるいは 直視できるような状況ではなかったのか。#0C

Whether that was so I didn't have to worry about them or because things had gotten so bad he didn't even think I should see them, I don't know.#0C

クロスはいつも私の目を塞いで、 何も見えないように注意していた。#0C

But he always tried to keep my eyes covered from the harsh reality of what was going on around me, so I could keep living in blissful ignorance.#0C

レン、いいこと教えてあげる。 『はい、よろこんで』って言うのよ。#0C

Let me give you a useful tip, Renne: always be sure to say, 'It would be my pleasure.'#0C

するととってもよろこんでくれるの。 『はい、よろこんで』 『はい、よろこんで』#0C

Saying that makes everyone smile!#0C

何をされても『はい、よろこんで』 これでみんな喜んでくれるわ。#0C

No matter what you have to do or what people do to you, always respond with, 'It would be my pleasure.'#0C

くす、おかしいでしょう？ 喜んでいるのはお客様なのにね。#0C

Heehee. Funny how that works, right? After all, it's the customers you're pleasing, not you!#0C

私も一つだけ教えてあげる。 とっておきの方法。#0C

Let me give you one, too, then. I use this all the time.#0C

あのね、相手の気持ちを想像するの。 きっと気持ち良いんだろうな、とか いま感じているんだろうな、とか。#0C

The best thing to do is try to imagine how your customer is feeling. Like, this must feel really good for them, they seem to love me doing this, or...#0C

痛いのだけは我慢できないけれど、 嫌なことは気にならなくなるの。#0C

It's not enough to make you stop feeling pain, but it does stop you needing to worry about doing unpleasant things.#0C

無理矢理は駄目。 どうしたら相手が喜んでくれるか、 きちんと考えるのよ。#0C

Always try to think about what you can do to make the customer happy. That's key.#0C

じゃあ、ぼ、ぼくも……#0C

W-Well, I suppose I should say something, too...#0C

あのね、ぜったいに『ごめんなさい』 って泣いちゃだめなんだよ。#0C

Umm... You should never cry and say you're sorry to a customer.#0C

『ごめんなさい』って言うと、 ますますぶたれちゃうからね。

Saying sorry just makes them want to hurt you more.

イタくてもかなしくても泣いちゃだめ。 『ごめんなさい』って言っても ゆるしてもらえないもん。

No matter how much it hurts, no matter how sad you feel, don't ever cry. Don't ever say sorry, because no one ever forgives you even if you do.

みんな、ありがとう。 でもレンには必要ないと思うわ。#0C

Thanks, everyone. But I can't see myself needing any of these tips.#0C

レンには仕事なんて来ないもの。#0C

I never have to do any work.#0C

いつもここでお人形を抱いているの。 レン、ずっとここにいるわ。#0C

All I have to do is sit in here and hug my dolls. I never have to leave this room.#0C

そうだね、レン。#0C

And that's how it should be.#0C

君は僕たちのお姫様。 大事な大事な人だから。#0C

You're our princess, and you're really, really important to us.#0C

私たちが守ってあげる。 だから何も見なくて良いんだよ。#0C

We're all here to protect you, and that's why we make it so you don't need to see a thing.#0C

『レン』#0C

'Renne.'#0C

３．遊戯#0C{0x05}

3. Game#0C{0x05}

レン、何をしているの？#0C

What are you doing, Renne?#0C

お絵かきよ。#0C

I'm drawing.#0C

ほら、これが怪獣。 レンたちを閉じ込めている怪獣よ。#0C

Look! This is a monster. The monster that's got us locked up in here.#0C

金の瞳に真っ黒なウロコ。 お口は食べちゃった人間の色で 染まっているの。#0C

It's got golden eyes and black scales, and its mouth's stained red with the blood of all the people it ate.#0C

罪の色か。ステキだね。#0C

The color of sin, huh? How lovely.#0C

でもお腹だけはきっと真っ白。 でないとどっちが前だか 分からなくなるもの。#0C

Its stomach's got to be white, though. Otherwise you wouldn't know which side was the front.#0C

あはは、そうだね。 きっとお腹は真っ白だね。#0C

Ahaha. That's very true.#0C

………………？#0C

...?#0C

ねえクロス。他のみんなは？ みんなお仕事に行っちゃったの？#0C

Where is everyone? Are they all out working?#0C

……レン。#0C

...Renne.#0C

ここには初めから僕たちだけ。 僕たちだけしか居ないんだよ。#0C

There are no 'others.' There's only me and you here.#0C

……そう、だったかな……#0C

Really? Are you sure? I don't know...#0C

そうだよ。 初めから、僕たちだけの世界さ。#0C

I'm sure. From the very start, it's just been me and you.#0C

僕たち二人だけ。 さあ、お絵かきしよう。#0C

No others. Now let's draw together, shall we?#0C

次はお姫様の絵を描こうかな。#0C

Maybe we could draw a princess next? That'd be nice.#0C

クロスは目隠しがとても上手だったけれど、 私にも少しずつ見えてきたことがあった。#0C

Cross was doing a good job at covering my eyes from reality, but there was one thing he couldn't completely keep from me:#0C

クロスは、疲れている。 これも“他のみんな”が居なくなった所為なのか。#0C

He was getting tired.#0C

全ての指名をクロス一人が受けていた。 そしてクロスもまた、消え始めていた。#0C

After the others disappeared, he started taking on all of the work himself. And because of that, slowly, he began to vanish, too.#0C

レン、体を拭いてあげる。 今日は酷く汚れてしまったから。#0C

Let's clean you up, Renne. You're really dirty today.#0C

いつもありがとう。 クロスは優しいのね。#0C

Thanks. You're always so kind.#0C

……レン。#0C

...I'm sorry, Renne.#0C

ごめんね、レン。 僕が上手くないばっかりに。#0C

If I wasn't so hopeless...#0C

君を守るって決めたのに……#0C

I swore I'd protect you, and yet...#0C

クロス？　……どうしたの？ 顔色が悪いわ？#0C

What's wrong, Cross? You're not looking too good...#0C

何でもない。 何でもないよ。#0C

It's nothing. I'm fine.#0C

…………クロス？#0C

...Cross?#0C

………………っ。#0C

...#0C

何でもないって、言ってるだろ！#0C

I just told you that I'm fine!#0C

…………君が悪いんだよ。#0C

...This is all your fault.#0C

…………クロス……#0C

...Mine?#0C

君が悪いんだよ。 何もかも、君が悪いんだ。#0C

Yours. Everything is YOUR fault.#0C

他のみんなは、すぐに殺しちゃったくせに。 どうして僕だけ生かしておくんだ。#0C

You wasted no time in killing all the others. Why are you letting me live for so long?#0C

君が悪いんだよ。僕を殺さなかったから。 君が悪いんだよ。僕を殺さなかったから。 君が悪いんだよ。僕を殺さなかったから。#0C

It's all your fault. Why haven't you killed me? It's all your fault. Why haven't you killed me? It's all your fault. Why haven't you killed me?#0C

僕はもう、とっくに死んでいるのに。#0C

I'm already dead as it is... Why won't you kill me?#0C

４．レン#0C{0x05}

4. Renne#0C{0x05}

そして、“初めての仕事”が来た。#0C

Eventually, my first job came.#0C

もう、誰も居なかったのだ。 私の代わりに出ていってくれる子供が。#0C

There was no one else to take it. There was no one else to go out in my place.#0C

だから私#2Rレン#は仕事をせざるを得なかった。 ……私#2Rレン#は初めて、外へ出た。#0C

That's why I had to do it myself. I had to step outside that room for the first time.#0C

レン、出番だ。 お客様に粗相の無いようにな。#0C

You've been nominated, Renne. Be sure to treat our customer with care.#0C

……………………………#0C

...#0C

どうした、レン。 いつものようにやってみなさい。#0C

What are you doing, Renne? Just do what you usually do.#0C

……………………………#0C

...#0C

おい、触れ込みと違うじゃないか。 １５番は特別なんじゃなかったのかね？#0C

What's going on here? I was led to believe number fifteen was special. #0C

おかしいですねえ。 いつもは本当にいい子なんですよ。#0C

She's not normally like this, I can assure you. She's usually a good girl... I don't know what's gotten into her.#0C

お客様のどんなニーズにもお応えできる、 とっておきの天使です、はい。#0C

She's our little angel, capable of meeting all of our customers' needs no matter what they may be.#0C

ほらレン、挨拶しなさい。 いつもやっているだろう。#0C

Come on, Renne. Say hello. You've done this enough times, now.#0C

今日はどれをやるのかな？ 可憐なお人形さんかい？ それともクールな男の子かな？#0C

What are you going to be today? A sweet doll? A cool boy?#0C

……私#2Rレン#じゃ、ない。#0C

...That wasn't me.#0C

え……？#0C

...What?#0C

私#2Rレン#じゃ、ない。 私#2Rレン#じゃ、ない。#0C

That wasn't me. That wasn't me.#0C

わたしじゃない、わたしじゃない！#2S#0C

That wasn't me! That wasn't me!#2S#0C

それはわたしじゃない！#2S#0C

That wasn't me!#2S#0C

わたしじゃないんだ！！#2S#0C

That wasn't me!#2S#0C

誰かが何か言っている。わたしはいつものように耳を塞ぐ。 誰かが何かをしている。わたしはいつものように目を瞑る。 わたしはいつものように。#0C

Someone says something. I close my ears like always. Someone does something. I close my eyes like always. I do just as I always do.#0C

わたしはいつものように。 わたしはいつものように。#0C

I do just as I always do. I do just as I always do.#0C

わたしはいつものように、仕事#4R あそび#に出た。#0C

I do just as I always do and go out to work.#0C

ああ、命の水だ。#0C

Ah, the water of life.#0C

クロスが言っていた。 死にかけた人間でも元気になれるって。#0C

Cross once said that even those near to death could be full of energy again if they drank this.#0C

クロスはよく飲まされていた。 とても甘くておいしい、シロップの味……#0C

He said he was made to drink it all the time, and that its taste was sweet and syrupy. #0C

さあ、レン。 今日はシロップを多めにしておいたよ。#0C

Drink up, Renne. I mixed quite a lot of syrup in today.#0C

ゆっくり飲み干すんだ。 ゆっくりゆっくり、そうそう 零#2Rこぼ#さないようにね。#0C

Drink up, nice and slowly. That's it... That's it... Make sure not to spill any, now.#0C

ゆっくり残さず飲み干すんだよ。#0C

Drink up every last drop.#0C

……ではごゆっくり。#0C

...Well, please take your time.#0C

支配人が立ち去る時、頭がすこしズレた。 もういい歳なのか、それとも変装しているのか。#0C

As the owner went to leave, his head seemed to distort slightly. Maybe he's getting old, or maybe he's just wearing a disguise of some kind...#0C

…………ああ、薬が効いてきた。#0C

...Oh, the medicine's started kicking in.#0C

さあ、レンちゃん。 座ってお喋りをしよう。#0C

Well, Renne. Why don't we sit and have a little chat together?#0C

はい、よろこんで。#0C

It would be my pleasure.#0C

うんうん、いい返事だねえ。#0C

You're always such a good girl.#0C

はい、よろこんで。#0C

It would be my pleasure.#0C

はい、よろこんで。#0C

It would be my pleasure.#0C

はい、よろこんで。はい、よろこんで。 はい、よろこんで。はい、よろこんで。 はい、よろこんで。はい、よろこんで。#0C

It would be my pleasure. It would be my pleasure. It would be my pleasure. It would be my pleasure. It would be my pleasure. It would be my pleasure.#0C

おはよう、レン。今日も良いお天気ね。で #40Wも風通しが悪いわ。窓を開けましょ！ねえ、 #30Wレン。一緒に遊びましょ？わたしもお人形 #20Wさんごっこ、したいな～。今はお休み。だ #10Wってクロスが出ているんだもの。クス、あ の子最近指名が増えたわよね。社会的ニー ズってやつかしら。レン、いいこと教えて あげる。『はい、よろこんで』って言うの よ。するととってもよろこんでくれるの。 『はい、よろこんで』『はい、よろこんで』 何をされても『はい、よろこんで』。これ でみんな喜んでくれるわ。くす、おかしい でしょう？喜んでいるのはお客様なのにね。 私たちが守ってあげる。だから何も見なく て良いんだよ。 『レン』

Morning, Renne! It sure is beautiful out today, huh? Kinda stuffy in here, though. Let's open a window, okay? Hey, you wanna play with me? #30WI wanna play with dolls, too! #20WCross is working#10W at the moment, so I've got some free time. Heehee. He sure seems to be getting nominated a lot lately. Maybe that's just what people are into these days? Let me give you a useful tip, Renne: always be sure to say, 'It would be my pleasure.' Saying that makes everyone smile! No matter what you have to do or what people do to you, always say, 'It would be my pleasure.' Heehee. Funny how that works, right? After all, it's the customers you're pleasing, not you! We're all here to protect you and that's why we make it so you don't need to see a thing. {} 'Renne'

大丈夫。レンは気にしなくていい。それに #40Wいろいろとコツがあるの。上手にやれば意 #30W外と簡単なのよ。レンが心配することじゃ #20Wない。レンは、いつも幸せだから。それで #10Wいいの。レンが幸せなら、私も幸せだもの。 私も一つだけ教えてあげる。とっておきの 方法。あのね、相手の気持ちを想像するの。 きっと気持ち良いんだろうな、とかいま感 じているんだろうな、とか。痛いのだけは 我慢できないけれど、嫌なことは気になら なくなるの。無理矢理は駄目。どうしたら 相手が喜んでくれるか、きちんと考えるの よ。私たちが守ってあげる。だから何も見 なくて良いんだよ。 『レン』

...I'm fine. It's nothing you need to worry about, Renne. #40WThere's a few tricks that make it really #30Wsimple to manage once you know them. So don't worry about me. You just focus on being#20W happy like you always are. That's a good girl.#10W If you're happy, I'm happy. Let me give you one, too, then. I use this all the time.

Y-Yeah... I don't know why, either... They said#40W it's some kind of new game, but I don't get it...#30W Don't worry about me, though. I'm fine! Honest.#20W I'm used to it.

……レーヴェ、この子が 生きているところを見たい。#0C

I want to see what she's like when she's really alive, Loewe.#0C

《結社》で引き取れないか？#0C

Can we take her in to the society?#0C

５．夢の続き#0C{0x05}

5. The Dream Goes On#0C{0x05}

レンは強い。 ヨシュアはある日そう言った。#0C

'You're strong, Renne.' That was what Joshua told me one day.#0C

…………私の知らない言葉だった。#0C

...It wasn't something I'd heard before, either.#0C

レンは強い。#0C

You're strong, Renne.#0C

そうだ。レンは強い。#0C

Yes. I am.#0C

レンは強い。レンは強い。 レンは強い。レンは強い。#0C

I'm strong. I'm strong. I'm strong. I'm strong.#0C

レンは強い。レンは強いんだ！#0C

I'm strong. I'm strong!#0C

執行者候補『レン』は この上なく優秀だった。#0C

As an Enforcer candidate, 'Renne' proved to be exceptionally capable.#0C

そしていつの間にか、 ヨシュアは居なくなった。#0C

Then one day, Joshua disappeared.#0C

相変わらず、世界が回っていた。#0C

And the world just kept on turning.#0C

ふう……ヨシュアってば どこに行っちゃったのかしら。#0C

*sigh* Just where has Joshua gone, anyway?#0C

お仕事って言ってたけど ずいぶん長くかかるみたいだし。#0C

All he said was that he was going away to do a job and it was going to take a while...#0C

せっかくレンが正式に 《執行者》になったのに……#0C

I wanted him to know that I've become a proper Enforcer now.#0C

それに…… 本当の《パテル＝マテル#14R パ パ と マ マ#》を 紹介してあげようと思ったのに……#0C

I wanted to introduce him to my real Papa and Mama, too...#0C

……………………………#0C

...#0C

……うふふ、でもいいわ。#0C

Heehee. But I suppose all of that can wait.#0C

ヨシュアならちゃんと帰ってくるもの。#0C

He'll come back eventually. I know he will.#0C

帰ってきて…… レンに土産話を聞かせてくれるわ。#0C

Then he can tell me all about what he did while he was away.#0C

そう…… ……その気になればいつでも………#0C

But he'll definitely be back... He will...#0C

……おぎゃあ………#0C

...*gurgle*#0C

おぎゃあ！　おぎゃあ！#0C

*gurgle* *gurgle*#0C

…………赤ちゃん？#0C

A baby?#0C

くすっ、可愛い……#0C

Heehee. How sweet.#0C

……本当に、キレイね。#0C

He's so cute.#0C

……それは真新しい命。 真っ白で純粋で、どこまでも綺麗な存在。#0C

A brand new life, clean and pure, untainted by anything.#0C

あの子はきっと正しい子供なのだろう。 健やかに育って、立派な人間になるのだろう。#0C

He's probably a good child. He'll be raised well, and grow up to be a fine, respectable adult.#0C

私には無理だったけれど。#0C

Unlike me.#0C

もう、私には無理だけれど。#0C

That path was closed to me long ago.#0C

名前の知らない赤ちゃん、 どうか幸せになってください。#0C

I hope you'll find happiness, nameless child.#0C

……………………………………#0C

...#0C

……………………………… ……どう……して…………？#0C

...Wh...y...?#0C

可愛いね。 お前にそっくりだよ。#0C

He really is cute, isn't he? He looks just like his mother.#0C

ほ～らよしよし……#0C

There, there... That's a good boy...#0C

ふふ、前の子はあんなことに なってしまったけれど……#0C

Heehee. I still regret what happened to our last child...#0C

でも良かった。 女神様は私たちのことを お見捨てにならなかったのね。#0C

...but it looks like the Goddess didn't abandon us after all.#0C

おいおい。 その話はしない約束だろう？#0C

Now, now. I thought we weren't going to talk about that anymore?#0C

昔のことはもう忘れよう。#0C

We need to leave the past in the past.#0C
