あらクラム、 どこへ行っていたのですか?
There you are, Clem! Where have you been all this time?
もうみんなはとっくに……
Everyone else has long--
あら? あなたは……
Goodness...
もしかしてクローゼ?
Is that you, Kloe?
まあ大きくなって……
You've grown so much, haven't you?
…………テレサ……先生……
Matron, I...
先生、先生っ……!{0x05}
It's you... It's really you!{0x05}
せ、先生、あの…… ……わ、わたし…………
I-I... I...
あらあら、泣き顔は 変わってないのですね。
Oh, dear. I see you still look exactly the same when you're crying.
だ、だって…………!
W-Well, I...I...
へ…………??
Wha...?
Qu... ?
ど、どーなってんの?
Wh-What's going on here?
あ、あはは……
Heehee...
Hi hi...
す、すみません。 取り乱してしまって。
I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hug you out of nowhere. Before I knew it, I...
私、嬉しくてつい……
I was just so happy to see you again...
……クローゼ…………
Oh, that's no reason for you to apologize.
ふふ、お帰りなさい。
It's lovely to see you again, Kloe.
はい! ……グス………
You, too! *sniffle*
あらあら。 本当に変わりませんね。
Oh, look at you. You're still the same darling young lady I've always known after all, aren't you?
クラムもお帰りなさい。
I'm glad you finally came back, too, Clem.
でも勝手に抜け出してはダメよ?
But I wish you wouldn't run away like that.
ちょ、ちょっと 探し物してただけだって!
I-I just went to look for something, that's all!
あの、テレサ先生。 ジョセフおじさんはどちらに……?
Umm... If you don't mind me asking, Matron... where is Joseph?
…………………………
...
......
……そう、クローゼはまだ 知らなかったのですね……
You haven't heard the news, then?
主人は…… あの人は亡くなりました。
I'm afraid he's no longer with us.
もう4年になるかしら……
He passed away about four years ago.
……………………
...
......
…………え………
He...passed away?
ルーアンに買出しに行った時に 事故に巻き込まれてしまって……
One day, he went out shopping in Ruan and was caught up in an accident.
…………………………
...
......
……ご……ごめんなさい……
...I'm... I'm so sorry...
……どうして謝るの?
Sweetie, why are you apologizing?
私……わたし…… ……何も知らなくて………
I... I had no idea...
つまらない意地ばかり張って…… ここが、大好きだったのに……
If I hadn't been acting so stubbornly...
来ちゃいけない、なんて…… ……勝手に思い込んで……!
If I hadn't convinced myself I shouldn't come, even though I love it here...
もっと早く……#500W #15W#3Sもっと早く来ていれば……っ!!#2S
If I'd just been more honest with myself...#500W #15W#3SIf I'd just come here from the beginning...!#2S
きゃはは!
Ahahaha!
なによもぉ~!
Is somebody here?
……ぇ………………?
...?
... ?
あ、クラム!
Oh, THERE you are, Clem!
どこ行ってたのよ、もー。
Where have you been all this time?!
あ~…………
Oooh!
Ohhh !
ねーちゃ、 どおして泣いてゆの~?
What're you crying for?
え、えっと……っ、……?
U-Umm...
Euhhh...
ふふ、いま私が 世話をしている子供たちです。
These are the children I'm looking after at the moment.
ほら、みんな挨拶をして?
Everyone, say hello to our visitor.
{color 0}#4Sはーい!#2S
{color 0}#4SOkay!#2S
マリィで~す!
I'm Mary!
?? ほえ~?
...Huh? What's going on?
こんにちわ~、おねーちゃん!
Hiya!
こらポーリィ。 ほえ~じゃないだろっ!
Come on, Polly! You gotta say hello!
……………………………
...
......
クローゼ?
Kloe?
マーシア孤児院は、 ここにあるのですよ?
The Mercia Orphanage you love is right here, you know.
……………ぁ………………
...
......
………はい……………!
So it is!
丁度時間もいいようですし、 お茶にしましょうか。
Maybe we should all have some tea? Now seems like as good a time as any.
クローゼ、手伝ってくださる?
Will you give me a hand making it, Kloe?
……はい………!
Of course!
{0x18}{color 12}#40Wその日以来、暇を見つけては 孤児院に顔を出すのが私の日課になった。
{0x18}{color 12}#40WFrom that day forward, I stopped avoiding the orphanage. I made a habit of going there whenever the opportunity presented itself.
{0x18}{color 12}#40Wやはり、私は変わっていなかったのかもしれない。
{0x18}{color 12}#40WI buckled. Exactly the way I thought I would.
{0x18}{color 12}#40W弱いままの私で、温かい空間に憧れを抱いて。 懐かしい先生と愛しい子供たちのぬくもりに包まれて。
{0x18}{color 12}#40WI was the same weak little girl I always was, forever craving the warmth of the orphanage and forever wanting to be surrounded by the lovely matron and the children.
{0x18}{color 12}#40W私はここで、心ゆくまで笑い声と共にあった。
{0x18}{color 12}#40WWhen I was there, the world felt bathed in happiness and smiling faces.
{0x18}{color 12}#40W幼き日のぬくもり。 両親を知らない私の唯一の想い出……
{0x18}{color 12}#40WBecause I never knew my mother and father, all my memories of this place were the only ones I had of my childhood...
{0x18}{color 12}#40Wそんな記憶と共に、孤児院は 変わらずにここにあったから……
{0x18}{color 12}#40WFor me, the orphanage I could visit now was exactly the same as the one I fondly remembered from then.
{0x18}{color 12}#40W私は安心して…… 私自身を騙し続けることができた。
{0x18}{color 12}#40WWhen I was there, I could be at peace; I could keep deceiving myself for as long as I needed to.
{0x18}{color 12}#40Wそう、私の心は………
{0x18}{color 12}#40WYet when I was there, I knew.
{0x18}{color 12}#40W――それほど綺麗なものではない。
{0x18}{color 12}#40WI knew my heart wasn't as pure as I wanted to think it was. My garden, beautiful as it was, continued to stay enclosed.
{color 0}#40W――1ヶ月後。
{color 0}#40WOne month later...
ちょっと待っててね。 いまお茶を淹れてくるから。
Wait here for a minute. I'll go and make us some tea.
あのー、その……
Look...
ご、ごめんねクローゼ。
I-I'm sorry, Kloe.
私、無神経なこと言っちゃった。
What I said was really, really insensitive, and I'm really sorry for ever saying it.
ううん、いいの。
Don't worry about it, Jill.
……ジルさん、わたしね……
When I was younger...
幼い頃に両親を亡くしてるの。
...I lost both of my parents, too.
え……
You...did?
…………だからね。
That's why what you said bothered me.
あの子達に、自分の姿を 映していたのかもしれない。
In my head, I saw myself in them.
両親がいないからって 必ずしも不幸じゃない。
I didn't want to think that just because someone was an orphan, they were unfortunate by default.
たったそれだけの理由で、 この人は一生不幸なんだって 決め付けられてしまうのは嫌。
I didn't want to think that alone meant they were doomed to spend life unable to have the same kind of happiness that others did.
私、ずっとそう思っていたの。
I didn't want anyone to say it--or even think it.
“可哀想”って 言われたくなかった。
But that wasn't because I was thinking of the children here...
……私が言われたくなかったの。
...It was because I was thinking about myself. I didn't want to be thought of as a 'poor little girl,' either.
あっ、あの……
Umm...
Euhhh...
クローゼ、 そのことなんだけど……
Kloe, I really...
ううん、ジルさん。 最後まで言わせて。
Please allow me to finish.
私はやっぱり………… ここにいる子供たちを想って 怒ったんじゃない。
I wanted to think I was getting angry on the children's behalf, but now I know I wasn't.
私はあの時、自分のために怒った。
All I cared about was myself.
そして優等生とか献身とか、 そんな言葉に苛立った。
I knew that, too, and that's why being called a model student or being spoken of like some kind of exemplary human being irritated me so much.
……………………………
...
......
……………………………
...
......
偽善、だよね……
I'm such a hypocrite, aren't I?
そんな心をジルさんに 言い当てられちゃって……
Lashing out at you as if I'm sticking up for other people, when in reality I'm only thinking of myself.
でもそれを認めたくなくて……
I didn't want to admit it, even though I knew deep down...
つい、ムキに なってしまったみたい。
I shouldn't have been so annoyed by it, but I was.
…………本当にごめんなさい。
I really am sorry.
えと……
N-No...
い、いや~クローゼ…… #3Sほんっと~にゴメンッ!!#2S
No! You're clearly not the one at fault, Kloe! #3SThis is on me, and I'm sorry!#2S
あ、あたし全然 そんなつもりじゃなくて……
Why you were angry with me doesn't matter when I said something I never should've said from the get-go!
その、クローゼの事情とかも 全然知らなくって…………
I had no idea what kind of life you or the kids here had led, and I just...
偽善とか そういうつもりはなかったの。 本当ぉ~にゴメン!!
I wasn't trying to imply you were a hypocrite or anything at all...
ホントはもっと早くに 謝りたかったんだけど…… …………そ、その……
I wanted to apologize to you earlier, I just... I just...
どうやって切り出したらいいか 分かんなかったというか……
I didn't know how, I suppose...
……………うん………
...Same here...
それと、子供たちのこと 可哀想って言ったのも取り消します。
I take back everything I said about the children, too.
あたし、ここに 来たことも無いのに……
I had no right to be judging them when I'd never even been here or met them.
孤児院のコってどんな子か 知りもしないのに……
I didn't know the first thing about what I was talking about.
軽いこと言っちゃって ごめんなさい!!
I hope you'll forgive me!
……あの、ジルさん。
...Well, then.
子供たちのこと、 少し見ていかない?
Would you like to meet them?
えっ……!?
Really?!
Vraiment ?!
へえ~…… 2段ベッドかー。
They sleep in bunk beds, huh?
いいなぁ~……
I'm kinda jealous.
へくちっ……!
Achoo!
あはは、かわいい!
Ahaha. That's adorable!
ホントにかわいい寝顔ねー。
They really do look cute when they're sleeping.
あはは、知らないうちに 傷つけちゃってた。
Now I feel even worse for being so mean.
ん……私もごめんなさい。
I was more in the wrong, Jill.
あの時ジルさんに悪気がないって ちゃんと分かってたのに……
I knew very well that you didn't actually mean any harm with what you said.
勝手に怒って…… 八つ当たりしちゃった。
All my frustrations just built to a point where I took it out on you.
い、いいよー、そんなの。 あたしも悪かったんだしさー。
S-Seriously, don't worry about it. Let's call our faults a draw, okay?
ふふ……でもね。
Heehee. We're just going around in circles, aren't we?
私も今回のことで、少し 気持ちの整理ができたみたい。
Still, in a way, I'm kind of glad this happened. It helped me sort out my own feelings.
今は不思議なくらい 穏やかな気持ちなの。
In fact, I feel more at peace with myself right now than I have in a long time.
……私、やっぱりここが 大切な場所だって感じてるから……
Because it's just hit home just how important this place truly is to me...
実はちょっと、 寝不足なんだけど……
Although to tell you the truth, all this fighting has tired me out...
あれ、クローゼも?
You, too, huh?
あ、あたしも昨日は 全然寝れなくてさぁ……
I barely slept a wink last night...
ふふっ……
Heehee...
Hi hi...
ふふふっ……
Heeheehee...
じゃあ、えっと……
Anyway...
Quoi qu'il en soit...
そろそろ行こっか。
You wanna get going?
うん。
Yeah.
Ouais.
あ、そうだクローゼ……
It feels kind of weird to finally be able to talk to you openly like this, though.
{color 12}#40W前から言おうと 思ってたんだけどさ……
{color 12}#40WWe've been sharing a room all this time...
{color 12}#40W私のことはジルって 呼び捨てにしてくんない?
{color 12}#40W...but this is the first time I feel like you've truly opened up to me.
{color 12}#40W私の方は ずっと呼び捨てだしさ。
{color 12}#40WFighting aside, that alone's made me pretty happy.
{color 12}#40Wうん、そうね……
{color 12}#40WYeah. I'm happy, too.
{color 12}#40Wじゃあジル、 今日はありがとう。
{color 12}#40WThanks for coming today, Jill.
{color 12}#40Wううっ…………!
{color 12}#40WI'm glad I did!
{color 12}#40W面と向かって言われると コッ恥ずかしい……
{color 12}#40WMay this be the start of a long and fruitful friendship.
{color 12}#40Wクスクス……
{color 12}#40WHeehee. I hope so.
