Répliques

……しかし私も、 まだまだ修行が足りぬ身だ。

Still, I'm feeling keenly these days just how much I need to improve myself.

一度本格的な修練を 行いたいのだが……

I'd love to go on some kind of extensive training program, but this hardly seems the time for that.

もう少し情勢が落ち着いたら エルナン君に相談してみるか。

Perhaps I'll bring up the matter with Elnan once things have calmed down a little.

ああ、ヨシュア君か。

Greetings, Joshua.

この２週間、ご苦労だったね。

You've done some fine work these past couple of weeks.

各地の被害状況の報告は 人員の割り振りに役立たせてもらった。

The damage reports on the regions of Liberl you've been providing have proved invaluable in allocating personnel.

とても助かったよ。

I really can't thank you enough.

あ、いえ…………

Oh, you needn't thank me...

…………あのクルツさん。 僕の遊撃士資格のことなんですが……

By the way, Kurt...I feel like I need to say something regarding my bracer badge.

……もうご存知とは思いますが、 もともと僕の力は、《結社》によって 与えられたものなんです。

As you probably already know, what power I have was given to me by the society.

そしてその力を揮#2Rふる#って たくさんの罪を重ねてきました。

Before becoming a bracer, I used it to commit many unforgivable crimes, too...

やはり、僕のような人間が 遊撃士を名乗っているのは………

No matter how much I think about it, I just can't see how someone like me is fit to call himself a a bracer.

ヨシュア君、私はね……

You know, Joshua...

力とは、いつも 不完全なものだと思っている。

...I've always seen power as an imperfect concept.

だから、人の子が 扱うことができるのだと。

And that's why I believe people are able to use it.

……間違っているだろうか。

Am I wrong?

………………いえ……

...No, I suppose not...

……ならば、君と私の間に 何の違いがあるのかな。

Then what difference is there between us?

自らを未熟と知りながら、 その信念のために力を揮い続ける 私たちは…………

We are both keenly aware of our flaws, and yet we both use what limited power we have to do what we believe to be right. I see no difference.

……そうですね…………

...Well, I can't really argue with that logic.

あまり自信はないですけど……

I still can't pretend to be completely confident in myself, though...

フフ、精進することだな。

Be that as it may, that's nothing to be ashamed of-- you should simply continue striving to overcome it.

それに、これは私見だが……

And while this is but my personal opinion...

君は十分、優秀な遊撃士だと思うよ。

...I'd say you're a model bracer.

……にしてもそこの２人、 元気有り余ってるみたいじゃねえか。

It's wild just how much energy these two have.

いつもあんな調子なのか？

Are they always like this?

へへっ、ここんとこ手伝いで あっちこっちの地方に 引っ張りまわされてたからな……

Haha. After all the work we've been doing lately, it's great to be able to come to a swanky place like this and put our feet up.

ようやく一息つけるぜ。 もぐもぐ………………

The food's pretty good, too! *munch*

やれやれ、２人とも子供だねえ。

I swear, it's like watching two children squabble.

平和になったからって 少し浮かれすぎなんじゃないかい？

It's great that we're peaceful again and all, but I think these two are taking things a little TOO easy.

うん、きっと似合うと思うんだー。

Seriously! They'd both look amazing in dresses if they took my advice!

後で試させてもらおーっと！

Maybe they'll let me test my theory if I ask them nicely!

うーん、そうだね。

Hmm... Well, if you ask me...

ジョゼットちゃんは 赤いイヤリングに小振りのリボン、 エステルちゃんは髪を下ろして……

...throw some red earrings and a little ribbon on Josette, then top it off with a nice, white dress.

そうしたら２人とも、 きっと白いドレスが 似合うんじゃないかなぁ……

Same goes for Estelle if she let her hair down.

ねえヨシュア君、どう思う？

What do you think, Joshua?

いきなり僕に振られても……

What are you asking me for?

へー、ジョゼットちゃんって 貴族の人だったんだー。

Wow! I didn't know Josette was from the nobility.

帝国の貴族って もっと恐い人かと思ってたけど……

I always pictured Erebonian nobles as being real stuffy and scary...

えへへー、意外と かわいい人が多いのかなぁ？

Heehee. But maybe there are a few cute ones mixed in there?

《導力停止現象》や 帝国の蒸気戦車部隊……

Speaking of the Republic, parliament is still very much in confusion over the Orbal Shutdown Phenomenon.

共和国の議会も かなり紛糾してるそうよ。

To say nothing of those steam tanks of Erebonia's.

あっちは収まるまで、 まだまだ時間が掛かるんじゃ ないかしら。

It's going to be quite a while before things settle down there, too, I'd wager.

祝賀会かぁ…………

It's nice to be able to attend a banquet like this.

ようやく平和が 戻ったって実感できるわね。

It truly drives home the point that this nation is back at peace again.

それにしても、 《異変》中の対応に 各地への的確な復興指示……

The trouble regarding the Liber Ark and subsequent restoration efforts have really shown me anew how capable a ruler Queen Alicia is.

アリシア女王の手腕には、 今更ながらに驚かされたわ。

She's handled all that's happened impeccably.

共和国じゃ、こうは 行かなかったでしょうね。

If all of this had happened in the Republic, it wouldn't have been resolved anywhere near as smoothly, let me tell you.

おお、待っておったぞ。

Ah! Just the man, just the man!

え……？

Pardon...?

... Hein ?

ほう……

Oh?

では、こちらが 先ほどの話に出て来た？

Is this the boy you were speaking of earlier?

左様、ヨシュア君だ。

That's correct. This is Joshua.

ちょうど諸君の活躍を 大使に話していた所でな。

I was just telling the ambassador here about your various accomplishments, Joshua.

お目にかかれて光栄だよ。

It's an honor to finally meet you.

駐リベール大使の ダヴィル・クライナッハだ。

I'm the resident Erebonian ambassador here in Liberl, Davil Crainagh.

は、はあ……

I-It's nice to meet you...

浮遊都市へ乗り込むくだりは、 聞いていて目頭が熱くなったぞ。

The tale of how you flew on top of that flying city all while knowing it may be the last thing you did brought tears to my eyes.

片道切符と知りつつ、 恋人の手を振りほどいて 特攻作戦に参加するとは……

How you were able to participate in an operation that may have brought your death, casting aside even your girlfriend's objections, I don't know...

いやはや、諸君のような 若者こそまさに国家の宝だよ。

...but I know this: Liberl needs more young men and women like you.

あ、ありがとうございます。

Th-Thank you for saying so, sir...

（……一体どんな話を {} したんだろう…………）

(Just what has the duke been telling him?)

そしてここに、奇跡の 再会を果たした２人はだな……

But all was well that ended well, for by miraculous chance, the two were able to reunite...

なんと素晴らしき若者#4Rわこうど#の精神#4R こころ#…… 聞いていて目頭が熱くなったぞ。

It should go without saying how touched I am to see such spirit from our youths of today.

いやはや、諸君のような 若者こそまさに国家の宝だよ。

You are truly Liberl's greatest treasures.

カシウス准将の計らいで 恩赦を受けることとなったが……

Thanks to Brigadier General Bright's mercy, I was able to receive a full pardon for my actions...

……もう私も、私なりの 決着をつけるべきだろうな……

...but I still feel as though I need to settle things within myself after what I did.

リシャールさん…… いらしてたんですか。

You were able to make it, Richard?

ああ……准将の計らいでね。

Thanks to Brigadier General Bright's generosity, yes.

陛下から正式な恩赦を 受けることになったんだ。

I've received an official pardon from Her Majesty for my actions.

《結社》による 王都襲撃を阻止した功績ですね。

Probably for foiling the society's attack on Grancel, right?

おめでとうございます。

That's good news. I'm happy for you.

……いや、正直この身には 過ぎたことだとは思うのだが……

I wish I could say the same...but I don't feel as though I deserve to be pardoned at all.

…………平和が訪れた以上、 私も真っ直ぐに自分の犯した罪を 受け止めるべきなのかもしれないな。

Now that the nation is at peace, I feel this is the time I should be facing up to my crimes-- not having them swept under the rug.

リシャールさん……

I can't say I don't understand, but still...

ふふ、そう心配そうな顔を しないでくれたまえ。

Haha. Please, Joshua. You needn't look so concerned.

私は決して、 陛下の恩義に反するようなことを するつもりはない。

I have no intention of refusing Her Majesty's kindness or going against her will.

ただ、私なりの 決着をつけるべきだろう。

I merely feel a strong desire to settle things within myself, and I fully intend on following through.

…………そう思うだけだ。

That is all.

…………はい。

...All right, then.

よ、用は済んだのでしょう。 さっさとあっちへ行きなさい。

I-I presume your business here is finished? Then kindly begone.

閣下の邪魔になりますわ。

You'll get in His Excellency's way standing around here.

……あなたは…………

Oh. I wasn't expecting to find you here...

王都が襲撃された時の 援軍は本当に助かりました。 礼を言わせていただきます。

Still, thank you very much for your support during the attack on Grancel. It really did help us all.

フ、フン…… あれは閣下を保釈する 条件だったからよ。

Oh, please. I only did what I did because it was one of His Excellency's bail conditions.

あなたたちに感謝される 筋合いは無いですわ。

Make no mistake: I wouldn't have helped any of you worthless drecks otherwise.

（素直じゃないなぁ……）

(You wouldn't think it would be so hard to accept a thank you...)

ピュイピューイ！

Scree! Scree!

ピュイピューイ！

Scree! Scree!

……ジーク、君も 祝賀会に呼ばれていたのかい？

Well, well, Sieg! It's good to see you.

ピュピューイ☆

Screeeee! ☆

（確かに、ジークの働きなら {} 表彰されてもおかしくないよな……）

(After all he did, I'd say he deserves a good party as much as any human.)

今宵は腕を 振るわせていただきました。

It was an honor to be able to put my skills to the test making tonight's many dishes.

どうぞ遠慮なく 召し上がってください。

I do hope they will be to your satisfaction. Please, have your fill.

あ、お料理は 足りてますでしょうか。

Is there enough food available for you?

仰ってくだされば お持ちいたしますよ。

If there's anything you would like more of, please feel free to let me know.

お、おいお嬢ちゃんたち……

U-Umm...

Euhhh...

喧嘩はやめてくれよな。

Could you two stop fighting?

俺はセントハイム門から 応援に着た臨時のシェフなのさ。

I normally work as a chef over at Sanktheim Gate, but I was called over here to help.

こんな会場を任されるなんて、 料理人として光栄だぜ。

It's a real huge honor to be able to help out at an occasion this spectacular. I doubt I'll ever get an opportunity like THIS again.

やれやれ、すげえパーティだな～。

Man, this is one hell of a party!

俺はセントハイム門から 応援に着た臨時のシェフなのさ。

I normally work as a chef over at Sanktheim Gate, but I was called over here to help.

しかしこんな会場を任されるなんて、 料理人として光栄だぜ。

It's a real huge honor to be able to help out at an occasion this spectacular. I doubt I'll ever get an opportunity like THIS again.

ヨシュア様、またいつでも 遊びにいらしてください。

You're always welcome to the castle, Joshua.

お着替えの手伝いを いたしますから……㈱

I'd be more than happy to help you get dolled up for the occasion, too. ㈱

あっ………………！

Oh!

……また、いつでも いらしてくださいね。

You're always welcome back to the castle any time.

お着替えの手伝いを いたしますから……㈱

I'd be more than happy to help you get dolled up for the occasion, too. ㈱

……いや、もうメイドの 格好なんてしませんから。

I'm never wearing a maid outfit again. Just so you know.

こうしてみると あの日のことが嘘のようですね。

Now that everything's back to normal, it feels like all that happened that day was some sort of dream.

本当に事件が 終わったんだなって気がします。

Dream or real life, though, I'm just relieved it's all finally over.

ふう、こうしてみると あの日のことが嘘のようですね。

*sigh* Now that everything's back to normal, it feels like all that happened that day was some sort of dream.

あの城門が崩れて 恐い人たちが入ってきたときは……

I'd certainly rather believe it was... Seeing the castle gates fall and those scary people charging through was like a nightmare...

私、気絶しちゃうかと思いました。

I thought I was going to faint at the sight of it all.

まったく、《結社》だかなんだか 知りませんけど……

I don't know what those society people were trying to achieve by causing us so much trouble...

もうあんな目に遭うのは まっぴらごめんです。

...but that was an experience I hope I never have to go through again.

ようやくこのお城にも 平和がもどった気がします。

Holding a party like this makes it feel like peace has finally returned to the castle.

だって先日まで、あちこちの 片付けで大変だったんですもの。

It certainly hasn't felt like that in the days leading up to it. We were all busy clearing things up until a few days ago.

えっと、次は あちらのお客様にお注ぎして……

Right! Next up, I need to give that guest their drink...

えっと、それからそれから……

Umm... But what did I need to do after that?

あ、お客様…………

Erm... Excuse me...

さっきお料理、 お渡ししましたっけ？

Have I given you some food already?

ふう、今日は大勢いらしてますねー。

Whew... There sure are a lot of guests today!

あ、こちらのお料理をどうぞー。

By all means, help yourself to any of the food here.

熱いうちに召し上がってくださいねー。

It'll all taste much better while it's still hot!

あっ、お客様。 お飲み物はお持ちでしょうか？

Do you need something to drink, sir?

アルコール抜きのカクテルなども ご用意してありますよ。

We have plenty available, alcoholic or otherwise.

祝賀会にご参加頂き、 ありがとうございます。

We're delighted to see you were able to attend tonight's banquet.

どうかごゆっくりと お楽しみください。

Please do enjoy yourself.

祝賀会会場は 空中庭園一帯となります。

The whole garden terrace is accessible to guests of tonight's party.

ご歓談を お楽しみくださいますよう。

So please don't feel restricted, and do enjoy yourself.

どうぞ、祝賀会をお楽しみください。

Please, do enjoy yourself at the banquet.

……申し訳ございません。 この先は女王宮となりますので。

I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid you may not pass beyond this point. These stairs lead to Her Highness' private chamber.
