練習は明日からのようですね。
I see practice is starting tomorrow.

I see practice is starting tomorrow.
今日はみなさん、羽を 伸ばしたいということでしょうか。
So I'll bet everyone'll want to rest up today while they still can.
私はアーチェリー部に 入部したんです。
I've decided to join the Archery Club!
昔、少し触ったことが ありますから。
I have some experience with the sport, you see. I think it'd be good to go back to it.
…………え? 生徒会長さん、ですか……?
What? You're looking for the Student Council president?
いえ、見ておりませんが……
I'm sorry. I haven't seen him, I'm afraid...
私、今日日直なんです。
I'm on cleaning duty today, so I'm hard at work right now!
黒板を綺麗にして おかないといけませんね。
Time to get this blackboard as clean as can be!
ロイスさんは共和国の ご出身だそうです。
Did you know that Roy's from Calvard?
社会コースを専攻する者として 私も興味がありますね。
As someone interested in social studies, I find what he has to say about the place fascinating.
ロイスさんは共和国の ご出身だそうです。
Did you know that Roy's from Calvard?
いろいろと興味深い お話をしてくださるんですよ。
So he knows all kinds of interesting facts about the country that I wouldn't have the chance to hear otherwise.
ウチの部長とレクター先輩は 仲が悪いんですよね。
The captain of our club doesn't exactly get along very well with Lechter.
何でも去年、生徒会長の座を 争った間柄だそうですよ。
Apparently they were rivals for the position of president last year, and we all know how THAT went.
……リゲル部長の方が 向いてる気がしますけどね。
...I still feel like Rigel would've been far more suited for it, though.
……あ、ロイス君。
Oh, Roy.
レクター先輩を 見かけませんでしたか?
You haven't seen Lechter around here, have you?
レクター先輩……ですか?
Lechter?
いえ、この辺りでは 見ていませんね……
I'm afraid not, no.
そうですか……
I see...
ごめんなさい、 呼び止めてしまって。
Sorry for troubling you, then.
僕もそろそろクラブの方に 向かわないといけませんね。
I should probably be thinking about heading over to club practice, myself.
もうリゲル部長が 練習を始めているころです。
I think everyone's about ready to start.
ああ、クローゼさん。 他の社会科の方たちですが……
I can't tell you exactly where all the other social studies students could have gone, but, well...
そろそろクラブ活動の 時間ですからね。
...it's about time for club activities to start.
皆さんそちらの方に 行かれたのだと思いますよ。
I think you're fairly likely to find the ones who've joined clubs there.
あ、はい……
You're probably right.
ご忠告、ありがとうございます。
Thank you for the advice.
い、いえ、別に忠告という わけではないのですが……
O-Oh, it was nothing...
レクター君はよくこの部屋へ来て ソファーで横になっているが……
Lechter often comes to this room and lies down on the sofa over there.
ふふ、まるでこの学園の空気を 静かに楽しんでいるようだよ。
Haha. He really seems to enjoy the atmosphere of this academy, from what I've seen.
やはり彼も、この学園が 気に入っているのだろう。
Regardless of how his behavior is on the outside, I truly believe he's enjoying his time here.
おや、またレクター君を 探しているのかね?
Oh, dear. Are you looking for Lechter again?
は、はい。
Y-Yes...
…………そうなんです。
I'm afraid so.
明日は生徒総会なのに、 また逃げ出してしまったんです。
Tomorrow's the general meeting of the Student Council, but he's run away and we can't find him.
必要な書類も 全然揃っていないのに……
Which is a problem, as we don't have all of the necessary documents to conduct it as it stands...
ふふ、彼にも困ったものだ。
Haha. He's a born troublemaker, that one.
学園長は、その……
Sir, umm...
レクター先輩を 信頼なさっているようですけど……
If you don't mind me saying, I'm a little surprised by just how much you seem to trust him...
…………ああ、そうだね。
...I suppose you would be.
彼には自覚があるのだよ。
Still, he knows exactly what he's doing.
自分が何をやっているか、 それがどんな結果に結びつくか よく分かっているのだ。
He knows exactly what the potential of his actions are, too, and fully accepts them.
その上で好きなように やっておるのだよ。
He still acts however he likes...
それに見合う覚悟を持ってな。
...but he's more than willing to face the consequences of his actions.
ふふ、信頼とは少し違うが 彼はなかなか面白い 生徒会長だと思っておるよ。
Haha. I'm not sure 'trust' is the most appropriate word for what I have for him, but at the very least, I think he makes for an interesting president.
……確かに、捕まえた時には それなりに仕事してくれますし。
...Admittedly, he does do his work properly when we do manage to capture him.
普段はいい加減なフリを してますけど、本当は色々と 考えてくれているみたいです。
And I know from experience that it may seem like he never takes anything seriously, but that's absolutely not the case.
でも、それなら逃げないで 初めからきちんとして欲しいです。
I just wish he'd actually do his work seriously from the beginning instead of requiring us to capture him before he does it.
ふふ、確かにその通りだ。
Quite understandable.
今度そう言ってやるといい。
Perhaps you should tell him that yourself next time you see him.
はい、 そうさせていただきます。
I think I will.
ルーアンは林道を抜けて 南に向かったところにある。
To reach Ruan, you'll need to go through the forest outside the grounds and follow the highway to the south.
道中気をつけるのだよ。
Be careful on the way.
学園の中に閉じこもっていては 何かと退屈だろう。
Being cooped up inside the academy grounds must get quite boring at times.
折角の外出なのだから、 のんびりと散策を楽しんで来なさい。
You've got the opportunity to leave them and step outside. Why not use it to have a nice, relaxing walk?
あはは…… ありがとうございます。
Ahaha... Thank you, sir. Maybe I will.
レクター君なら、先程まで そこのソファーで寝ていたよ。
Lechter was sleeping on that sofa until not long ago, but as you can see, he's gone now.
書類に目を通している間に どこかへ行ってしまったがのう。
He was busy reading a book of some sort.
あの、すみません学園長。
Excuse me, sir.
ウチの生徒会長を 見かけませんでした?
You wouldn't have happened to see our president anywhere, would you?
少し、その…… 見当たらないようなので……
We're having a little bit of trouble finding him, you see...
ああ、レクター君だね。
Actually, I have.
先程までそこのソファーで 寝ていたようたが……
He was sleeping over on the sofa there until not long ago.
ソ、ソファーで寝てた!? それも学園長室の!?
H-He was sleeping around in your office?!
(レクター先輩…………)
(I swear...)
学園長をも恐れぬ横暴ぶり……
Unbelievable... He doesn't even fear the dean...
もはや私たちの手で ケリを付けるほか無いわね……!
We're really going to have to take GOOD care of him when we find him.
学園長、ご迷惑をお掛けしてしまい 申し訳ありませんでした。
I'm terribly sorry for the trouble he caused you, sir.
アレは後でみっちり 絞り上げときますんで……
We'll make sure that he answers for his crimes! We promise.
ふふ、気にしなくていい。
Haha! Please, don't worry about it.
彼はここが 気に入っているようだからね。
He seems to have taken quite a liking to this place. I'm rather used to it.
は、はあ…………
I-I see...
E-Eh bien...
生徒会はクラブハウスの2階にある。
The Student Council room is on the second floor of the clubhouse.
なにか分からないことがあれば 彼らに尋ねてみるといい。
If there's anything you need help with, I'm sure they would be delighted to assist you.
ああ、君はまだ 学園の施設にも不案内だろう。
I don't believe you've been given a full tour of the academy facilities yet, come to think of it?
なにか分からないことがあれば 生徒会の生徒に尋ねるといい。
If there is anything you need explaining to you, be sure to ask the Student Council. I'm sure they will be only too happy to help.
……はい。
Thank you, sir.
学園長、ありがとうございます。
I will bear that in mind.
おや、クローゼ君。
Oh, hello there, Kloe.
もう学園生活には慣れたかな?
Are you finally starting to get used to life here?
学園長、あの……
Sir... Umm...
突然の編入を認めていただいて ありがとうございました。
I want to thank you again for permitting me to transfer here on such short notice.
今回の件に付きましては……
I really...
……クローゼ君。
...Kloe.
君は正式な編入試験を受け、 合格点を取っている。
You undertook our official transfer student exam, and you passed it.
それだけのことだ。 いらぬ気を回すことは無い。
You needn't feel at all indebted to me or feel as though you're being granted special treatment.
あ……は、はい……
I... If you say so, sir. Thank you.
明日の授業では 新しい教材を使おうと思うんだ。
I'm intending to try a new approach towards teaching in tomorrow's lesson.
教科書を追うばかりじゃ つまらないからね。
Just using textbooks all the time is a little boring, both for myself and the students.
明日の授業では 新しい教材を使おうと思うんだ。
I'm intending to try a new approach towards teaching in tomorrow's lesson.
そうだね、小説を使って 読解なんかをやってみようか。
I haven't decided what to go with, however. Maybe using short stories to test reading comprehension would be a good idea?
ミリア先生はいつも張り切って 採点なさるんだけど……
You usually find Ms. Millia excitedly grading papers after exams end, but there's no sign of her at the moment.
あれ、今日はどうしちゃったのかな。
I wonder where she went?
今回の試験も無事に終わったね。
Well, the exams fortunately ended without any trouble.
1年生にとっては初めて体験する 定期試験だったんじゃないかな。
That marks the first major examination period for you first-year students...
まあ回を追うごとに 慣れていくものだからね。
...but you'll get used to them. You've got plenty more to look forward to!
上手く行かなくても気にしないでね。
So don't beat yourself up too much if this one didn't go quite as planned. It happens.
レクター君は事あるごとに ミリア先生をからかって行くんだよね。
Lechter seems to enjoy teasing Ms. Millia far too much. He makes a hobby out of it.
ミリア先生も少しは 慣れたらいいと思うんだけど……
You'd think she would've gotten used to it and stop giving him the reactions he wants by now, but sadly not.
え、レクター君?
What? You're trying to find Lechter?
さっきそこの ミリア先生の席に座っていたよ。
He was there sitting in Ms. Millia's seat till not long ago.
何か本を読んでいる みたいだったけど……
He was reading some book, but I didn't see the title.
声を掛ける前に、フラッと いなくなっちゃったなあ。
I was going to call out to him, but he vanished before I could.
吹奏楽部の顧問を 頼まれてしまったのですが……
I've been asked to be the Music Club's adviser, which is fine and all...
実は私、音痴なんですよね。
...but I'm totally tone-deaf.
それでも構わないのでしょうか??
I'm not sure why anyone would want me, of all people, to be the adviser for a club like this...
吹奏楽部の顧問、ですか……
You want me to be the Music Club's adviser?
ええ、私は構いませんが……
Well, I've certainly got no problem with that...
楽器のことは分かりませんよ?
...but I know next to nothing about music and instruments.
あの性格で あんなに成績がいいなんて……
How can his grades be so good when he never acts like he gives a flyin' hoot about anything?
ああ、もっと難しい試験で うんと苦しめてやりたいッ……!
I wish I could make the exams much harder just so I could see him suffer.
でもそうすると他の生徒が…… ………………ぶつぶつ……
But if I did that, all the other students would suffer, too... Decisions, decisions...
レクターはね、 他の候補者を全員蹴落として 生徒会長になったのよ。
Lechter became president instead of all the other much more fitting candidates, and I still can't bring myself to accept that.
そんなの私は認めないわ ………………ぶつぶつ……
It's just not right! Rrrgh...
良く考えたら、結局 授業をサボってるじゃない。
He just wanted to skip class, didn't he?
…………あのバカが……!
He is truly unbelievable!
レクターのやつ、今日は 珍しく出席してたんだけど……
Lechter actually showed up to class today! You don't understand how rare that is.
あんまり偉そうな態度だから 廊下に立ってなさいって言ったのよ。
But he was being such a little butthead that I made him go stand in the corridor.
…………で、今 ラティオ先生に聞いたら……
You know what makes the situation even worse, though?
さっきまでレクターが あたしの席に座ってたらしいの。
Mr. Ratio says he was sitting in MY chair!
…………あのバカが……!
I cannot BELIEVE him!
社会コースの時間割は まだ決まってないわ。
The social studies schedule isn't finished yet, though. That's Ms. Wiola's territory.
ま、ウィオラには よくあることね。
She somehow manages to finish her schedule last a lot. A. Lot.
来月の時間割が決まったのよ。
Next month's schedule is all ready to go!
ここに書き出しておくから 各自チェックすること。
I'll write it up here, so make sure you all come and check it.
………………いい?
Got it?
レクター君、あれで演説は上手いのよ。 私も思わず聞き惚れちゃったわ。
If there's one thing Lechter is bizarrely good at, it's speeches. Every time he starts one, I can't help but be enraptured by it.
ああいう時だけ 言うことは真っ当なのよねー。
It's weird how most of the time he messes around, but at times like those, everything he says makes perfect sense.
意外と政治家タイプかも。
Maybe he'd actually be a good politician.
やーね、ミリアったらー。
Come on, now, Millia...
あれはリゲル君が 腹痛でお休みしただけじゃなーい。
The only two candidates running were Lechter and Rigel, and Rigel was off on the actual day due to stomach pains!
候補者はあの2人だけ だったんだから順当でしょ~?
It couldn't have really ended any other way.
そういえば見たような 見てないような…………
Wait. His name rings a bell, actually... Maybe I did?
うーん、どっちだったかしら~?
I'm really not sure, though...
あの、すみません ウィオラ先生……
Umm... Excuse me?
この辺りでレクター先輩を お見かけしませんでしたか?
You wouldn't have happened to see Lechter around here, would you?
え? レクター君?
Hmm? Lechter?
う~ん、見てないと思うけど……
I don't think I have, no...
あら、1時間足りないわ……
Oh, wait. I'm actually an hour short.
くうぅ~………… こういうの、苦手なのよね~。
Ugh... I never was any good at these kinds of things...
どうしてこの時間割が いけないのよ~!
What's wrong with this schedule, anyway?!
カンペキじゃなーい!
It looks great to me!
(お忙しいようですね……)
(She seems very busy...)
ではこちらの パンフレットをどうぞ。
Why not take a look through this pamphlet, then?
当学園の概要が 記載されていますので……
I think you'll find it has a lot of useful information in it.
学園の見学にいらっしゃる方は 結構多いんですよ。
We get quite a lot of visitors here at the academy.
よく生徒会長さんが 応対してくださるので 助かりますね。
The Student Council president's rather good at seeing to them, too. It takes quite a load off my mind.
来園客の方が お見えになっているんです。
We've got a visitor in the academy at the moment.
学園の見学にいらっしゃる方は 結構多いんですよ。
We get them more often than you'd think.
実は先程も副会長さんが 同じ質問をなさって……
The Student Council's vice president came to ask me the same question not long ago, actually.
がっかりした様子で 2階の方へ行かれました。
She went up to the second floor rather disappointed when I gave her the same answer.
大分お疲れのようでしたが……
Poor girl looked so tired...
生徒会長さんですか?
Hmm? Lechter?
いえ、今日はまだ 見かけていませんよ。
I haven't seen him today, no.
今年の生徒会長さんは とても大人びた方みたいですね。
This year's Student Council president is mature beyond his years, by the looks of it.
私も受付は長いですけど あんな生徒さんは初めてです。
I've never seen a student like him in all my years working at this academy.
そういえば、先程 今年度の生徒会長さんが お見えになりました。
I actually saw the current Student Council president here not long ago, too.
ふふ、とても 大人びた方なんですね。
Heehee. He was so mature for someone his age!
あら、クローゼさん。
Oh, Kloe!
もう学園には慣れましたか?
How are you doing? Have you settled in here yet?
あ……は、はい。
Well...I'd like to think so, yes.
あの、編入手続きの際には 大変お世話になりました。
By the way, thank you very much for your help during the enrollment process.
お陰様で問題なく 学園生活を始めることが出来ました。
Thanks to you, I was able to begin my new life here without any problems at all.
ふふ、よかったです。
I'm just glad to have been of assistance.
何か分からないことがあったら 遠慮なく尋ねてくださいね。
If there's anything else you need help with, you need only to ask. I'll do what I can.
……はい。 ありがとうございます。
I'll bear that in mind. Thank you very much.
試験の結果はこの掲示板に 張り出されるそうだ。
If you're not aware, our exam results will eventually be displayed on this very notice board.
フフ、楽しみだね。
Haha. I can hardly wait.
やあクローゼ君。 試験の手ごたえはどうだい?
Hello, Kloe. How do you feel about the exams?
えっと……
Well...
Euhhh...
ちょっと難しかったですね。
...I thought they were a little difficult, to be honest.
僕は今回、かなり自信がある。
Really? I'm rather confident in my performance.
フフ、試験の結果が楽しみだね。
I can hardly wait for the results to be issued!
僕はできるだけ勉学に 集中したいのだが……
I prefer to devote myself fully to my studies instead of having club activities stealing my time...
こうも説得されてしまってはな……
She doesn't seem to want to take no for an answer, though.
い、いや僕は クラブ活動とか{0x09}は……
I'm not really much of a club activities person, you see...
できるだけ勉学に 集中したいのだが……
I prefer to devote my time to my studies.
休暇中なのですから、 朝は遅めでもいいですわね。
We'll technically be on vacation, so there's no reason to start practice too early in the morning.
昼休みの時間をずらして……
So I can start a bit later, and then move lunch time back a little, too...
ふんふふ~ん……♪
La la laaa... ♪
長期休暇中の 活動表を作っていますの。
I've drawn up a plan for our club activities during the holidays.
少し面倒ですけれど、 実際にやってみると 意外と楽しいものですわ。
It can be a pain at times, but this position is turning out to be a lot more fun than I expected it to be.
ふんふふ~ん……♪
La la laaa... ♪
はあ、部長になったのは レイナの所為なのに……
*sigh* I wouldn't even be doing this job if not for Reina...
え、ええ。ですから……
Y-Yes. That's right.
ここに記入すれば よろしいのですね。
So I just have to fill this out, then?
クローゼさんはとても優秀だとか。
I've heard all kinds of rumors about how smart you are.
はあ、羨ましいですわ。
*sigh* I wish I could be more like you...
確か、クローゼさんですわよね。 とても優秀だとか……
You're Kloe, right? I've heard all kinds of rumors about how smart you are.
私はフラッセ・ベーレンと申します。
My name is Felicity Baeren.
以後、お見知りおきを。
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
あの、失礼ですが……
Excuse me...
社会コースの方でしょうか?
You aren't a social studies student, are you?
いいえ、私は 自然科学コースですわ。
Sorry, but no. I'm a natural sciences student, actually.
あっ……
...Oh.
... Oh.
(ま、間違えました……)
(O-Oops.)
す、すみません。
I-I see. Sorry for troubling you, then.
そろそろ長期休暇が始まりますね。
It's probably about time for Felicity to return home for a while.
フラッセにも一度 帰省していただきましょう。
The holidays will be beginning soon, after all.
どうやらやる気になって いただけたようですね。
She finally seems to have seriously developed some enthusiasm for her new position.
しかし試験の結果も 出揃ったことですし。
Now the exam results are all finally out, though.
そろそろ、本国の方に 帰省していただかなければ。
So it's probably about time for her to be returning home for a while.
フラッセの初仕事ですね。
This is Felicity's first major task since taking over the club.
ふふ、いつも通り 温かく見守るとしましょう。
Heehee. Let's see how she fares with it.
早速部長の仕事が 舞い込んで来ましたね。
I see she's busy with club-related work right off the bat.
ふふ、私の読みどおりです。
Heehee. Just as planned.
フラッセは部長を 務める気が無いようです。
Felicity doesn't seem to have any interest in becoming our club's new captain.
ふふ、これは少々 策を練る必要がありそうですね。
I'm not going to let that stop me, though. I'm sure I can think of something to change her mind.
そろそろ新しい部長を 決めなければいけませんね。
It's almost time for our club to decide on a new captain.
当然私としては フラッセを推しているのですが、 本人にその気は無いようです。
Personally, I'm backing Felicity--naturally!-- but she doesn't seem to have any interest in the position, unfortunately.
ふふ、少々策を練る 必要がありそうですね。
I'm not going to let that stop me, though. I'm sure I can think of something to change her mind.
ミリア先生に 質問があったのですが……
I came to ask Ms. Millia a question, but she's not here.
もう少し お待ちしてみましょうか。
I suppose I'll just have to wait for her to come back.
やあ、クローゼさん。
Hey, Kloe.
実はミリア先生に 質問しようと思ったのですが……
What am I doing here? I wanted to ask Ms. Millia a question.
今はいらっしゃらないようですね。
She's not here at the moment, though.
レクター先輩というと 生徒会の変わった人という イメージしかないんですよね。
I've always seen Lechter as something of an oddball...
一体どういう方なのでしょう。
Maybe I'm wrong, though?
レクター先輩というと 生徒会の変わった人という イメージしかないですね……
I've always seen Lechter as something of an oddball...
レオ先輩以上の 実力者なのでしょうか。
...but I guess if he's the president and not Leo, he's actually the more capable one?
いえ、そういうわけじゃ 決してないんですけど……
Not...really, no. Definitely not. Uh-uh.
その、学園7不思議の 1つとでも言うか……
Honestly, just think of his presidency as one of the school's seven mysteries. That's about the only way it makes sense.
あのー、すみません。
Excuse me?
この辺りでウチの生徒会長を 見かけませんでした?
You wouldn't have happened to see the Student Council president anywhere, would you?
え? レオ先輩ですか?
Oh, you're looking for Leo?
授業の後は生徒会室に 向かわれたと思いますが……
He headed straight to the council room as soon as class finished, isn't he there?
いえ、あの……
Oh, no...
捜しているのは レクター先輩なんですが……
We're actually looking for Lechter...
あ、あのですね……
Lechter's the president, not Leo.
生徒会長をやっているのは レクター先輩なんですよ。
People do make that mistake a lot...
よく間違えられるんですけど……
...but it's true. However impossible it sounds...
えっ、そうだったんですか?
Wait. You're not pulling my leg?
こ、これは失礼しました。
S-Sorry. My bad, then.
てっきりレオ先輩が 生徒会長なのだとばかり……
All this time, I thought Leo was the president.
(まだ誤解してる人がいたか……)
(I shouldn't be surprised there are still people making that mistake...)
(この前までは {} よく説明して回ったよな。)
(I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to explain Lechter's our leader to people.)
(ま、間違うのも無理は無いわ。)
(No surprise people feel that way, either.)
(実質、取り仕切ってるのは {} レオ先輩だもんね……)
(I mean, Leo IS the one who does most of the work... He might as well be the head honcho.)
(やっぱり…………)
(I thought so...)
ええと、レクター先輩というと あの少し変わった人……ですよね。
Still, Lechter's the, um, slightly strange one, right?
普段からあまり見かけませんし……
I don't see him around all that often, so I think I'd notice him if he did pass me by.
ええ、今日も 見ていないと思いますよ。
I don't believe I've seen him today.
そ、そうですか……
O-Oh, okay...
どうも、お騒がせしました。
Sorry for troubling you.
レオ先輩の端的な指摘は 常に真実を射ているんです。
Leo's observations are always worth paying attention to.
あの方の言葉には いつも頭が下がりますよ。
He really never stops amazing me.
やはりレオ先輩の指摘は 重みが違いますね。
In my experience, Leo's observations are always worth keeping a close eye on.
たったこれだけのデータから 素材の特性を見抜くなんて。
I can't believe he was able to work out the properties of this material from so little data, but that's just what he does.
……論理的な裏づけも完璧です。 ふう、頭が下がりますよ。
He didn't rely on guesswork, either. His evidence for his beliefs is sound, too. I really do look up to him!
絶対楽しいって! ね?
It'll be fun! Come on, what do you say?
大丈夫だって~。
It'll be fine, it'll be fine!
クラブに入ったからって 成績が悪くなるわけじゃ ないんだから~。
It's not like joining a club suddenly makes your grades worse! Loads of people join them, and they don't suffer for it!
よーし、吹奏楽部再始動☆
All right! The Music Club is back in business. ☆
えへへー、腕が鳴るよ~♪
Heehee. I'm all excited now! ♪
あ、クローゼさ~ん!
Hey, Kloe!
あたしねー、吹奏楽部に 入ろうと思ったんだけど。
I decided I wanted to join the academy's Music Club, but guess what?
なんと、去年から 部員ゼロらしくってさー。
It turns out that the club doesn't have any members. In fact, it hasn't since last year!
だから今、 先生に掛け合ってるトコ。
So I have to rebuild it from scratch! That's why I'm here talking to Mr. Ratio.
試験も何とか乗り切ったしな。
Now that the exams are finally over, it's time to make my feelings known to her.
ハンスに先を越される前に 気持ちだけでも伝えとかなきゃ……!
I can't let Hans get ahead of me in the race for her heart!

D-Don't look! I'm in the process of writing a letter!
だれにって? ルーシー先輩に決まってんだろ!
Who's it to? Duh! Lucy!
……当学園の見学でしょうか?
Ah, you are here to have a look around the school?
はは、喜んで。
Haha. Oh, that won't be a problem at all.
わたくし、生徒会長を 勤めさせていただいております レクターと申します。
My name is Lechter, and I currently serve as the president of this academy's Student Council.
……当学園の見学でしょうか?
Ah, you are here to have a look around the school?
はは、喜んで。
Haha. Oh, that won't be a problem at all.

フムフム、なるほど……
Hmm... I see...
いえね、ウチの息子をこの学園に 入れたいと思ってまして……
Oh, it's just that I'm actually thinking of sending my son to this academy...
さすがは王立学園の 生徒会長さんですな。
What a fine young man.
いやはや、立派な方だ。
I can certainly see how he ended up the president of such an esteemed academy's Student Council.
ほう、この方がジェニス 王立学園の生徒会長さんか……
So this is the president of the academy's Student Council.
うむ、なかなか 立派な方じゃないですか。
What a fine young man! How fitting for such an esteemed academy.
…………………………

......
はあ…………
*sigh*...
レクターのバカ……
That idiot...
今回は手錠で繋いでおいたの。
How did he manage to get away?
なのにまた、 逃げられちゃったわ……
I had him attached to me with handcuffs this time, too... He shouldn't have been able to.
あ、あのルーシー先輩……?
Umm... Lucy...
レクターはね、 瞬間移動ができるのよ。
Lechter can actually teleport, you know.
だからもう、私じゃ 捕まえられないわ……
There's no way I can keep him under control anymore...
(……ル、ルーシー先輩! {} しっかりしてくださいっ!!)
(L-Lucy! Don't give up!)
(さすがの先輩も {} 相当疲れてるわね……)
(Being forced to deal with him all the time seems to be finally making her crack...)
これで3勝2敗か……
This makes three victories and two losses.
うん、彼女とは いいライバルになれそうだ。
She really is a good rival.
うーん、ルーシーさんには 負けてしまったか。
Aww... Looks like I couldn't beat Lucy this time.
ボクも色々な勉強方法を 試してるんだけどな……
I've been trying a bunch of new study methods, but they just weren't enough, I guess.
彼女はどんな方法で 試験勉強をしてるんだろ。
I wonder what kinds of study methods she uses?
……レオ・ローレンツに 負けるのは致し方ない。
...I don't mind losing to THE Leo Lorentz. That's basically inevitable.
だがレクターのヤツにだけは 負けたくないな……
Lechter, though? Aidios, Aaanything but that.
ああ、クローゼか。
Hi there, Kloe.
昨日伝えたとおり、 クラブ活動は明日から再開する。
Like I said yesterday, our club's going to start meeting again tomorrow.
今日は休んで、 体調を整えておくようにな。
So make sure you use today to get yourself well rested and back in peak shape!
あ、はい。
You bet.
何度でも言おう。
Don't get involved with the Student Council president.
あのような男には関わるな!
Seriously. Don't.
あ、あのー、すみません。
Excuse me...
ん…………?
Yes...?
この辺りで 生徒会長を見ませんでした?
You wouldn't have happened to see the Student Council president anywhere, would you?
生徒会長………… ……レクターのことか。
Ah, yes. The Student Council...president...
フウ……………………
*sigh*...
お前たち、 あのような男には関わるな。
You don't want to get involved with him. Trust me.
私に言えるのはそれだけだ。
That's all I'm gonna say.
は、はあ…………
R-Right...
E-Eh bien...
肩に乗ってた ハヤブサが良かったのかな?
I wonder if the judges liked the falcon on his shoulder or something?
確かに絵になってたしなー……
I mean, it did make for a good picture, but still...
………………この前 生徒会長に強制されて 絵を描いたんだけどさ。
...I ended up being forced to draw a portrait of the Student Council president a while back.
あの絵がコンテストで 優勝しちゃったんだ。
I didn't expect what would happen, though... It ended up winning this contest I entered it in.
…………なんで?
...Why?
ええ、この書類に 今期のクラブ予算を 記入してほしいんです。
Yes, that's right. I just need you to fill out your club's planned budget here.
えっと、こっちの欄に 活動内容を書いて……
So, you put an outline of your club's activities here, then...
あ、クローゼ~。
Hiya, Kloe!
いま各クラブの部長さんを 回ってるとこなのよ。
I'm just going around all the club captains like I said earlier.
ま、あの生徒会長を 捜索するよりは楽よね。
It's an easier job than trying to find Lechter, at least... But hey! What isn't?
{0x18}{color 12}あのとき、もう誰にも頼らないと誓った。
{0x18}{color 12}I'd sworn to myself that I would stop relying on other people.
{0x18}{color 12}縛られて生きるのが嫌で。 流されて生きるのが嫌で。
{0x18}{color 12}I'd had enough of being restricted in how to live. I'd had enough of following the rails laid out for me by other people.
{0x18}{color 12}……私は自分の足で歩いていく。
{0x18}{color 12}I was going to put my own two feet on the ground and start living my own life, by myself.
{0x18}{color 12}胸に秘めた、静かな決意。
{0x18}{color 12}That was my resolve, and I intended to abide by it.
{0x18}{color 12}それが単なる言い訳に過ぎないことも 心のどこかで気づいていた―――
{0x18}{color 12}But somewhere in my heart, I had already realized that 'resolve' of mine was nothing more than an excuse.

{color 5}[Social Studies Classroom - First-Year Joint Class]
はいはい、みんな。 こっち注目~。
Settle down, settle down. I've got someone to introduce to you all!
こちらは編入生の クローゼ・リンツさんです。
This is our new transfer student, Kloe Rinz.
コースはえっと……社会科ね。 うん、わたしの受け持ちだわ。
She's going to be studying...oh...social studies, apparently! You'll be with me, then.
じゃあクローゼさん、 ご挨拶してください。
Well, why don't you introduce yourself to the class?
……はい。
...Of course.
1年に編入となった クローゼ・リンツです。
My name is Kloe Rinz, and starting today, I will be a first-year student at this academy.
この素晴らしい学園での生活を 長い間楽しみにしておりました。
I've been looking forward to beginning my life at this wonderful academy for some time, so I'm truly delighted to be here.
今日、みなさんの一員となれて とても光栄に思います。
It's an honor to be able to count myself among your number.
私はとんだ未熟者で、みなさんに ご迷惑をお掛けしてしまうかも しれませんが……
I'm still an inexperienced child in many ways, so I fear I may cause you all trouble in the coming days and weeks...
精一杯頑張りますので。 どうか、よろしくお願いします。
...but I intend to work as hard as I can for the betterment of myself, my class, and my school, so I do hope we can all get along.
(うーん、突然の編入生か……)
(I sure wasn't expecting a transfer student at this time of year.)
(良いところの子かな? {} ちょっと堅い感じもするけど……)
(I wonder if she's from a rich family or something? She sure sounds stuffy, so it would fit...)
(1年の5月に編入ねえ。 {} ちょっとワケありっぽいよな。)
(She's obviously got some kinda special circumstances to be enrolling in May.)
あ、質問いいですか~?
Excuse me, but could I ask a question?
クローゼさん、出身は? リベールの人?
Where do you live? You're from Liberl, right?
えっと……
Umm...
Euhhh...
はい。 グランセル……地方の出身です。
Yes. I'm from...Grancel.
ご趣味などはお持ちですか?
Do you have any hobbies?
あ……特にありません。
Erm... Not especially.
えー、ホントですか~?
What? For reals?
つまんないなー。
That's kind of boring...
えっと……
Umm...
Euhhh...
……でもやっぱり…… 特に趣味……とかは……
Still...no matter how much I think about it, nothing comes to mind.
(……しいて言えば…… {} お菓子作りでしょうか……)
(I suppose I could say making sweets...)
(でも人に言えるほどの {} ものじゃないし……)
(...but I don't feel like I do that enough for it to qualify as a hobby.)
編入試験って、 すごく難しいんだろ?
Isn't the entrance exam for transfer students supposed to be crazy hard?
よく受かったよなー。
You must be really smart to be able to pass it!
え、あの入試より難しいのか?
Harder than the one the rest of us took?
うわー、ありえねー!
No way! That was nuts as it was!
むむ、優秀なんだな……
You must be quite smart...
あ、あの……
U-Umm...
Euhhh...
はいはい、みんな!
Okay, class! That's enough!
質問は、授業が 終わってからにして~!
I'm sure you must all have things you want to ask our new student, but they can wait until after class!
クローゼさん、 適当な席に座ってね。
Go and take a seat, Kloe.
……あ、はい。
...Oh. Yes, ma'am.
Eh bien...
じゃあ授業を始めるわよ。
All right, then. Time to get started with our lesson!
教科書の23ページを開いて……
If you would, open your textbooks to page 23.
(むう………… {} 『謎の編入生』……)
(Hmm... A mysterious transfer student...)
(何だか気になるわね……)
(Now there's a surefire recipe for catching my interest.)
{color 0}それから2週間ほど経ったころ……
{color 0}Two weeks passed at the academy...
{color 0}生徒の間では 『謎の編入生』の噂で持ちきりだった。
{color 0}Despite the passing of time, the students' interest in the transfer student showed no sign of letting up, and she was soon the talk of the whole school.
{color 0}非常に頭が良く、礼儀正しく、 しかしやたらと堅苦しい1年生の話題である。
{color 0}All anyone wanted to talk about was her--how smart she was, how unusually polite she was, among other things.
{color 0}時間が経てば、彼女の緊張も 解#2Rほぐ#れていくだろうと思われていたのだが……
{color 0}Her peers thought the formalities were largely due to nerves and that she would naturally ease up over time, but the reality was somewhat different...
はあ~、やっと終わったよ……{0x05}
Whew... I'm glad that's over.{0x05}
ふむ、今日も 有意義な一日だったな。{0x05}
Phew! Glad I attended class today. We ended up covering so much...{0x05}
モニカ~、練習始めるよ~!{0x05}
Come on, Monika! It's time for practice!{0x05}
あ、はーい!{0x05}
Coming!{0x05}
あらら、みんな もう帰っちゃったの?
Oh, dear. Did everyone go home already?
このプリント、 配ろうと思ってたのに……
I haven't handed out all these printouts yet...
あ…………
Oh, it's Ms. Wiola...
(先生、お困りなのでしょうか。)
(She looks like she needs help with something. Maybe I could volunteer...?)
(……………………よし!)
(...No time like the present!)
あ、あの……ウィオラ先生、 何かお困りでしょうか。
U-Umm... Ms. Wiola, is there anything I can help you with?
私でよろしければ、 お手伝いしますけれど……
You seem rather troubled about something...
んー……でもぉ……
Well, there is, but I'd feel a little bad asking you to help me with it...
そ、そうね…………
Hmm...
じゃあ、頼んじゃおうかしら。
...Well, if you insist!
は、はい。
O-Of course.
{color 5}クローゼは先生からプリントを預かった。
{color 5}Ms. Wiola handed a pile of printouts to Kloe.
悪いけど、このプリントを社会科の みんなに配っておいて欲しいの。
Could you go and hand these out to all of the social studies students, then? One each.
結構大切なプリントだから 配り忘れがないようにお願いね。
They're rather important, too, so try and see that everyone gets one.
はい、わかりました。
I'll get to work right away.
はっ、急がないと!
Thank you so much! Okay, gotta run!
職員会議が始まっちゃう~!
There's a staff meeting starting soon!
……………………えっと。
Let's see...
このプリントって、 社会科コースの年間単位表……?
Oh, this is a list of this year's credits.
これはきちんと配らないと……
No wonder she wanted these handed out right away.
(とりあえず、まだ教室に {} 残っている人たちに配って……)
(I might as well start with the students still here.)
(あとはクラブ活動に向かった人と、 {} 寮に帰ってしまった人ですね。)
(After that, I can go and speak with the ones who have gone to their respective clubs, as well as those who have returned to their dormitories.)
…………よし!
...Okay! To work, I go!
まあ、それでは 共和国にはそのようなものが……
Really? I had no idea.
ええ、なにしろ 国土が広大ですからね。
Well, the Republic is pretty huge in terms of land mass and all.
それに合わせた交通手段が……
Just traveling on foot isn't going to cut it. You need a more effective means of transportation.
あ、あの………
E-Excuse me...
やあ、クローゼさん。
Oh, Kloe. Hello.
……どうかしましたか?
Can we help you with something?
はい、あの……
Well, you see...
ウィオラ先生から、 プリントを預かっていまして……
Ms. Wiola has entrusted me with the task of giving printouts to all of the social studies students...
{color 5}ロイスとセルマにプリントを渡した。
{color 5}Kloe gave Roy and Thelma a copy of the printout each.
まあ、社会科コースの単位表ですね。
Hey! It's a list of all our credits.
ご親切にありがとうございます、 クローゼさん。
Thanks for going out of your way to deliver these, Kloe.
いえ、とんでもありません。
Not at all.
こちらこそお話のお邪魔をして、 申し訳ありませんでした。
I apologize for intruding on your conversation, too.
私はこれで失礼させて頂きます。
I'll get out of your way now. Have a good day.
は、はい……
O-Oh, right...
クローゼさんて、 礼儀正しい方なのですね。
Crazy how polite she is, huh?
ええ、そうですね……
Yeah, I guess...
あそこまで丁寧に言われると 少し緊張してしまいますよ。
She's a bit TOO polite, though, if you ask me. Makes it hard to feel comfortable talking to her.
ふう…………
*sigh*
…………………………
...
......
……私、こんなので 大丈夫なのかな………
Can I really keep going on like this?
……でさー、さっき 編入生のコが来たんだけどー……
So, yeah, that transfer student came by earlier.
……ああ、あの天才とかいう……
Oh, the super smart one?
……それがさー…………
Yeah. Anyway...
……………でねー………
...so, yeah...
え、えっと……
U-Umm...
Euhhh...
(は、早く帰って、 {} 授業の復習をしないと……)
(I-I should hurry back to my room and go over what we learned in class!)
(習得単位の確認もしないと {} いけませんよね……!)
(I need to go over our credits list again, too!)
ぷはあっ、 ようやく終わったぜ……
Ahhh... We're finally free!
さすがに天下の王立学園、 内容が半端じゃないわね~。
I knew this place wouldn't go easy on us... Those were really hard.
あたしゃもう、クッタクタよ。
I feel like I just wanna curl up in bed and sleep for a week now.
あ、クローゼ。
Oh, Kloe!
どうだった? 試験のデキは。
How'd the exams go for you?
ん…… まあまあ、かな?
Well...all right, I suppose?
またまたぁ~…… ケンソンしちゃって、この!
Now, now. There's no need to be modest. We know you probably finished in half the time and got all the answers right, to boot.
今の笑みは何だ? マッタク…………
The smile says it all.
ふふ……
Heehee...
余裕こいちゃってもう……!
I wish I had your brain. Sure we can't swap?
お前たち、通行の邪魔だ。 ここに溜#2R た#まるな。
This isn't the place to be loitering. You're stopping people from getting to the stairs.
あ、レオ先輩……
Oops...
{color 0}#3Sす、すみません。#2S
{color 0}#3SW-We're sorry!#2S
ああ……
Oh, and one more thing...
Oh, et une dernière chose...
本日から生徒会活動を再開する。
The Student Council's work resumes today.
ジルとハンスは2時から 生徒会室でミーティングだ。
I will be expecting both of you in the council room at 2 o'clock for a meeting.
遅れるなよ。
Don't even think about being late.
は、はい!
Y-Yes, sir!
は、はい!
Y-Yes, sir!
……そうだな。
As for you, Kloe...
クローゼ君は好きにしたまえ。
You may do as you see fit.
………………えっと??
Umm...
Euhhh...
……うーん、クローゼにも 来て欲しいってことかしら?
I'm guessing that's his way of saying he'd like you to come along, too?
レクターさんを捕獲するのに、 クローゼは必要不可欠な人材だからな。
You might not technically be a member, but you're our honorary Lechter Catcher. We kind of need you at this point.
レオ先輩もクローゼのことを 認めてるんじゃないか?
I'll bet he's acknowledged you because of that, because believe me, that's a real special talent you've got there.
あ、あはは……
A-Ahaha...
ちょっと大袈裟な 気もしますけど……
I'm not sure I've done enough to warrant that, personally...
でも、私も行ってみようかな。 なんだか楽しそうですし……
If it's okay for me to go, maybe I will, though. It sounds like fun.
……い、いや、 それほど楽しくはないと思うぞ。
You might be a bit disappointed if you go along expecting fun...
ま、クローゼが来てくれると 大いに助かるわ。
We'd be happy to have you, though. Fun or no fun.
もちろん大歓迎よ!
So if you're up for it, so are we!
そんじゃ、昼メシの後は 3人で生徒会室に行くか!
Nice! Let's go get ourselves some lunch, then we can head over there!
はい。
All right.
おや、クローゼ君。 どうかしたのかね?
Oh, good day, Kloe. Can I help you?
すみません学園長。 少し用事が出来てしまいまして……
Actually...I have some business that I need to take care of outside the academy.
外出許可をいただけないでしょうか。
So I came to ask for permission to leave the grounds.
{color 5}クローゼは手短に事情を説明した。
{color 5}Kloe gave the dean a brief explanation of what she needed to do.
なるほど、生徒会の用事で ルーアンまで……
Oh, I see...
もちろん、構わないとも。
Naturally, I have no objections to granting you permission.
{color 5}外出許可証をもらった。
{color 5}Kloe received permission to leave the grounds.
ありがとうございます。
Thank you very much, Dean Collins.
ふむ、君もこちらの生活に 大分慣れてきたようだな。
Still, I've been quite pleased to see you finally adjusting to life here.
ふふ、話は聞いているよ。 よく学園の中を走り回っているとか。
I've heard plenty of stories about you running around the grounds lately.
あ、あはは……
A-Ahaha...
最近、生徒会のお手伝いを させていただいているんです。
Well, I've been helping the Student Council with their work from time to time.
それで、その…… ちょっと走り回る用事がありまして。
And, well, a certain element of their work does involve a lot of running...
そうか……
I see.
えっと、では私、 これで失礼しますね。
Well, if that is all, I should probably get to work.
ああ、道中気をつけてな。
Oh, of course. Take care.
はい。
Thank you.
ふふ…… いい顔をなさるようになった。
Haha... She looks so much more chipper now.
ふむ…… これも彼のお陰かもしれんな。
I suppose I have him to thank for that.
{color 5}職員室は会議中のようだ。
{color 5}A meeting is going on in the faculty lounge.
(……入ってはいけませんね。)
(I should probably keep away to avoid disturbing them.)
2番はレオ先輩、 3番はリゲル部長ですね……
The second highest ranking was Leo, and the third was Rigel...
あ、私も1年生で1番だ……
...Oh. It looks like I was the highest among the first years.
これは定期試験の成績ですね…… 3年上位5名……
Oh, here are the examination results. Let's see who the top five scorers among the third years were...
……1番は……… レクター・アランドール!?
Number one was...Lechter Arundel?!
授業もほとんど 出ていなかったのに……??
But he was barely in any classes!
