Répliques

……勝負は一度限り。

This will be a one-round duel.

ただしアーツや 道具の使用も認める。

Both arts and items may be used.

……成る程、確かにこれは 良い気晴らしになりそうですね。

So this was what you had in mind...

エレボニアに名高き ヴァンダールの武人相手では 勝てる気がしませんが……

I can't say I feel especially confident about my chances of defeating a warrior of the famed Vander family, but I'll certainly try.

フフ、遠慮は無用だ。

Hah. There's no need to be so modest.

それでは大尉……

Well, Captain...

全力で参る！

...let us begin!

◆勝った

◆Won

◆負けた

◆Lost

はあ、はあ、はあ…………

*pant*...*pant*...

フッ……… さすがに強い…………！

Ugh... I knew you would be formidable, but not quite like this!

大尉…………

Captain, may I ask something?

……負けて、何を失った？

What did you lose by being defeated?

……少佐………………？

...? I'm...not sure I understand.

……ものの価値は、それを 失ったときを想像してみるのが 一番手っ取り早い。

The easiest way to determine the true worth of something is to imagine how things would be if you were to lose it.

理屈ではない、 本当の姿が見えてくるものだ。

When you do that, you start to see things for how they really are beyond simple logic.

……今、自分がいなくなった 世界を想像してみるがいい。

Imagine you were to vanish from the world, and yet you still possessed the ability to think.

そしてその上で、 どうしても気がかりなことが 残っているのなら……

Would there be anything left lingering on your mind? Anything that worried you? Something that you wished you could do?

大尉、それが 貴女の心を決めるものだ。

If so, that is what you should do most.

…………気がかりなこと……

Those are excellent questions, Major...

……………………………… ………………………………

（殿下……………… {} …………やはり私は……）

(Your Highness...I think I finally know what to do.)

少佐……………… ………かたじけない。

I cannot thank you enough.

貴方のお陰で 迷いが晴れました。

Thanks to you, I can finally see the path I ought to take.

この教え、胸に 刻んでおくこととします。

I'll be sure to take all you've taught me today to heart.

フフ、ただの受け売りだ。

Haha. Just don't assume I thought of any of what I've said or done today myself.

俺もアレの相手に疲れた時には よく叔父上と剣を交えて ウサを晴らしていた身だからな。

I often would cross swords with my uncle to clear away frustrations from having to deal with my own insufferable charge.

……そろそろ俺も 国に帰るとするか。

...Well, it's probably about time I thought about returning to Erebonia.

どうにも、あのお調子者が 心配なのでな。

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm feeling a hint of concern for his well-being.

ふふ…………そうですか。

Haha... Only a hint?

皇子にも、 よろしくお伝えください。

Please give my regards to the prince when you see him, then.

……心得た。

I shall.

クローディア殿下にも ご健勝のようにと。

And give mine to Princess Klaudia as well.

はあ……はあ…………

*pant*...*pant*...

…………これは驚いた。

...Well, this is a surprise.

大尉がこれほどの腕とは……

I had no idea you were this strong.

フフ、ご冗談を……

Haha. Surely you jest.

少佐は確かに 手を抜いておられた。

I could tell that you were holding back against me.

……いや、俺にも それほど余裕は無かった。

I only wish I could say that were true.

これは次に 見#2Rまみ#えるときが楽しみだ。

I'm looking forward to the next chance we have to do battle now.

精進させていただきます。

I will strive not to let you down.

大尉…………

Captain...

……貴女は守るべき人を 守れなかったと言った。

You said to me that you failed to protect those you care about most.

……それで、何を失ったのか？

What did you lose because of that?

……少佐………………？

...? I'm...not sure I understand.
