Répliques

な、なんだったの あのオジサン…………

What was up with that old man we fought?

…………ヘンだよ！#2S

He's frickin' weird!#2S

ヘンって……

Ouch...

Aïe...

もうちょい別の表現方法 考えてあげてえや。

Can't you think of a slightly nicer way of putting that?

再現……された人格で、 執事のオジサンなのに敵で……？

Why did someone who should be our ally get recreated here and end up being our enemy?

……………………………………

...

......

も、もう全然判んないや……

I don't even know what's going on anymore...

ふ、普通の真面目そうな オジサンに見えたのに……{wait} あんなに強いだなんて……

He looked like a really serious, polite old man...{wait} How can he be so strong?

………やっぱりヘンだよ！#2S

That's just frickin' weird!#2S

もう全然判んないや……

I don't even know what's going on anymore...

ボクたち、 本当に帰れるのかな……

Are we even GOING to be able to go home...?

い、いいのかなぁ…… リベールの次期女王様を 封印なんかしちゃって……

Maybe it's just me, but it's kinda sorta maybe a bad idea to lock the next queen of Liberl in one of those sealing stones, right?

《影の王》って人、 捕まったらきっと極刑だよ。

That Lord of Phantasma should get the death penalty when we catch him!

あ、あはは…………

Aha...haha...

えっと、この姫様って確か リベールの次期女王なんだよね。

Uhh... Kloe's the crown princess of Liberl, right?

い、いいのかなぁ…… こんな人を封印なんかしちゃって……

Maybe it's just me, but its kinda sorta maybe a bad idea to lock someone like that in one of those sealing stones, right?

《影の王》って人、 捕まったらきっと極刑だよ。

That Lord of Phantasma should get the death penalty when we catch him!

まあボクが言える筋合いじゃ ないかもしれないけどさ……

Now, I'm not in much of a position to be judging people here...

《影の王》って人、 捕まったらきっと極刑だよね。

...but the Lord of Phantasma should get the death penalty when we catch him, if you ask me!

うんうん、どうせ おかしな事に巻き込まれるなら こうでなくちゃねー！

Well, getting stuck here comes with its perks, at least. I can deal with weird if Joshua's here to experience it with me!

ヨシュア、後で一緒に へんてこな王都を見て回ろうよ！

Say, you wanna go walk around bizarro Grancel later? Just the two of us?

ホンマ現金やなぁ……

I see that you have a knack for looking on the bright side...

うんうん、どうせ巻き込まれるなら ヨシュアと一緒でなくちゃねー！

Well, getting stuck here comes with its perks, at least. I can deal with weird if Joshua's here to experience it with me!

な、なんなんだよここは！

Just what IS this place?!

なんか浮いてるし…… ヘンなとこに本が並んでるし……

Everything here is just so...off. How's that fountain floating there? Why's there a library in the middle of nowhere?

この下に落っこちたら どうなっちゃうのさ！！

And what'd happen to you if you fell off the edge here, anyway? It's not like there're any railings to catch us!

（うーん、やっぱり {} かなり不安定になっとるね。）

(Poor thing looks so worked up... and I can really blame her.)

……えっと、あー…………

Umm...

Euhhh...

そうや、ジョゼットちゃんは クロスベルの方へ行っとったって 話やけど……

Say, you said you were flying over Crossbell when you ended up here, right?

今やっとる運送業って、 国際便やったんやね。

Does your company do international deliveries and stuff, then?

……え、うん………………

Oh... Yeah.

あ、あったりまえだろ。 もともとボクらは帝国の出身だし。

I-I mean, of course we do! We're originally from Erebonia, after all, why would we want to limit ourselves to just Liberl?

カプア特急便は、大陸を 股にかけて飛び回ってるんだから。

We make deliveries aaaall over the continent!

クロスベルなんて割と近場だよ。

When you think of it that way, Crossbell's like our own back yard.

最近じゃレマン自治州あたりまで 行ってるんだからね。

We've been as far as Leman State a few times, even.

えっ、そんな遠くまで……？

Wow! You seriously travel that far?

凄いですね……

That's amazing...

へ、へえ、そうやったん……

Really?

Vraiment ?

それって結構凄いんとちゃうの？

That's pretty amazing.

へへん、山猫号を 甘く見ないでよね！

Haha! Never underestimate what the Bobcat's capable of!

……精々稼いで、 借金を返済するんだな。

Just don't forget: you still have a debt to pay off.

……精々稼いで、 借金を返済するんだな。

Just don't forget: you still have a debt to pay off.

い、言われなくても そのつもりだよっ！！

I-I wouldn't dare! We're working very hard on that, thank you very much!

……にしても、ヘンなとこに 来ちゃったなぁ……

Everything here is just so off...

なんか浮いてるし…… ヘンなとこに本が並んでるし……

How's that fountain floating there, anyway? And why's there a library in the middle of nowhere?

兄貴たちは大丈夫かなぁ……

I hope Don and Kyle are okay...

…………ともあれ、 殿下がご無事で何よりだった。

I'm simply glad that Her Highness is safe and well.

だが、まだ他のものが 捕らわれているかもしれない。

Still, there seems to be every chance that plenty of others have been captured in the same way.

先を急ぐべきだろう。

We should hurry on and aid them.

それにしても、あの王都が 模造物#6R フェイク#だったとは……

I'm still shocked that the Grancel we explored was a replica of the real thing given its scale...

だが、これではっきりしたようだな。

But one thing is certain now:

あの《影の王》と名乗る者、 あの者が全ての元凶なのだろう。

That Lord of Phantasma we encountered is the one responsible for all of this. I'm sure of it.

……それにしても 分からないことばかりだな。

...It's depressing just how many questions and how few answers we have at this point, really.

この異空間や、本物の 悪魔が現れたこともそうだが、 王都のあの有様…………

The place we stand in now is a mystery, the state of the capital is a mystery, why there are fiends roaming about it is a mystery...

『魔物』が徘徊していたり 実体化した亡霊が存在したり……

To say nothing of how we've already come face to face with a genuine devil from the church's scriptures.

……当面は探索を 続けるしかなさそうだ……

And yet as frustrating as it is, all we can do is keep pressing on and pray the truth presents itself to us eventually.

早く城門を塞いでいる 封印を解いて、陛下や殿下の 無事を確認したいのだが……

Right now, I want nothing more than to break the seal blocking the castle's gates and find out if Her Majesty and Her Highness are safe...

……当面は地道に探索を 続けるしかなさそうだな……

Yet all we can do right now is press on with our exploration... How frustrating.

しかし……ここは本当に どこなのだろうな……

This place truly is baffling... Just where are we?

四輪の塔には『裏の塔』と呼ばれる 異空間があったと聞くが……

I've heard about the shadow towers you explored so I can understand the similarity with them, but beyond that...

いや、考えて 分かることでもないか……

...Never mind. I suppose at this point, no amount of thinking is going to give us an answer. We just have too little information to work with.

王都があのようなことに……

I can't believe what's happened to the capital...

陛下や殿下はご無事だろうか……

I can only pray that Her Majesty and Her Highness are all right...

あの、ユリアさん。 お気持ちは分かりますけど……

Listen, Julia... I know how you must feel, but...

あ、ああ、皆さんか……

Oh, I'm sorry, Father.

……すまない、 少し混乱しているようだ。

I'm still having trouble taking in the current situation.

いや、無理ないことやと 思いますよ。

I don't think anyone can blame you for that.

オレかてちょっと パニくりそうやったし。

Honestly, I'm still kinda reeling from the shock of it all myself.

……大尉、自分にも さっぱり分からん事態だが……

I can't pretend to be all that well versed in our current predicament...

聞けば得体の知れない 《敵》が現れたと言う。

...but by the sounds of it, our enemies are still very much an unknown quantity.

状況が掴めないからこそ、 ここは慎重に進めるべきだろう。

I think it would be in all our best interests to try and keep a cool head and approach the situation cautiously.

そう、ですね……

Yes... You're absolutely right.

またいつ強敵が 現れるとも限りません。

There's no telling when we might next find ourselves facing another deadly foe.

あなたには、ここで準備を 整えていただけると助かります。

So we would appreciate you remaining here and preparing to be ready to leave any time.

…………了解した。

...Understood.

どうやらこの拠点は安全なようだ。

This area appears to be safe, thankfully.

可能な限り、 探索の準備を整えておこう。

I will prepare myself to the best of my ability, so leave that to me.

おや…… 揃ってどうしたのかね？

Oh... Can I help you with anything?

ええ、それがですね……

Well...

Eh bien...

{color 5}ケビンはリシャールに 紅耀石の石碑に記されていた 言葉について説明した。

{color 5}Kevin explained to Richard that they thought he was the person the carnelia monument's inscription was asking for.

{color 5}Kevin expliqua à Richard qu'ils pensaient qu'il était la personne requise par l'inscription sur le monument carnelia.

『剣聖の後継者』……私が？

Me? The 'Divine Blade's successor'?

Moi ? Le « successeur de la Lame divine » ?

し、しかし……

B-But...

M-Mais...

……まあいい。 継ぐ資格があるかはともかく 私以外に該当者はいなさそうだ。

...I suppose there's no point in debating if I am fit to be called his successor. No one else seems to match the description, after all.

... Je suppose qu'il est inutile de débattre sur le fait que je sois à la hauteur d'être appelé son successeur. Personne d'autre ne semble correspondre à cela.

私の方は問題ない。 いつでも仲間に入れてくれたまえ。

I'd be happy to accompany you when you return to that monument.

Je serais heureux de vous accompagner lorsque vous retournerez à ce monument.

ええ、よろしく頼みます。

Thanks.

Merci.

私にそのような 資格があるとは思えないが……

I hardly think myself fit to be called the Divine Blade's successor...

今は個人的な感情を 挟んでいる場合ではなさそうだ。

Then again, I suppose that isn't really the issue here.

……いつでも仲間に 入れてくれて構わない。

When you intend to return to that monument, call on me. I'll accompany you.

えっと、大佐……… 居合いの稽古ですか……？

Umm... Colonel, are you practicing your draw techniques?

えっと、大佐………？ ……一体何を…………

Umm... Colonel, are you training or something?

リシャール大佐…… ……凄い剣気ですやん……

You training or something, Colonel?

…………いや、強い者が たくさんいるものだと思ってね……

Oh, no...

極みに至るわけでもなく、 捨てることもできない……

It's just that surrounded by so many skilled warriors, I can't help but be reminded of just how feeble my own swordsmanship is.

私の剣など、 所詮半端なものなのだがね。

I'm unable to perfect it and reach the heights others have, but I'm unable to turn my back on it, either.

……ただこうして心を 研ぎ澄ますことで、何かが 見えてこないかと待っているんだよ。

Still, I feel as though by coming here and honing my senses, I may be able to see something new.

そ、そないですか……

O-Oh...

O-Oh...

私の剣など、所詮 半端なものだが……

My swordsmanship is a feeble, halfhearted thing...

こうして心を研ぎ澄ますことで、 何かが見えてこないかと 待っているんだよ。

Still, I feel as though by coming here and honing my senses, I may be able to see something new.

……何故だか判らないが、 こうしていると落ち着くものでね。

I couldn't tell you why I feel that way--there's just something...calming about doing this.

………《影の王》……

It's clear the Lord of Phantasma is not a foe to be underestimated.

手口からみて 只者ではないだろうが……

Unfortunately, we just don't have enough information to try and work out who they really are.

正体を予測するには 手掛かりが少なすぎるな。

If only we had more clues to go on...

グランセル城に現れた 女の霊というのも気になる。

I'm curious as to who that ghost that appeared in Grancel Castle is, too.

ケビン殿の前に 度々現れているようだが……

And sadly, we're left with no more clues towards solving that mystery than we do any other.

この異空間…… 《影の国#6Rファンタズマ#》とか言ったか。

Now that we know the existence of that 'lord' that man mentioned, I can't help but wonder whether all of this is their work.

どういうカラクリかは分からんが、 仮にその《王》とやらが仕掛けた 事態ならば……

And if it is, is it possible that defeating them might be all that's required for us to escape?

その者を斬れば、ここから 脱出できるのではないか？

It would certainly make matters simple.

敵なら叩き斬れば済む話だ。

If the only thing keeping us from escaping this place is defeating our enemies, then it would certainly make things simple.

……そう簡単には 行かないのかもしれんが……

In theory, at least... Defeating them may prove to be quite difficult in itself.

……いやぁ、そやけど ミュラーさんが現れてくれて ほっとしましたわ。

Boy, am I glad to have you with us.

なんや心強いっちゅうか……

The more brute strength we've got with us, the better.

ああ、正直自分たちだけでは どうしようかと思っていたところだ。

Indeed. Our odds of success here felt rather grim until you joined us, Major.

……いや、自分もこの状況に 不安を抱いているのは同じだ。

I'm not sure how much of a difference I alone make in that regard. I feel as apprehensive about our current situation as you likely do.

だが《敵》が現れた以上、 このまま放って置くわけには いかないだろう。

However, if we have enemies here who wish us harm, then I can't stand back idly and do nothing.

あのお調子者が巻き込まれている 可能性もあるのだからな。

Not until I know for sure whether or not that fool's been caught up in all this.

……あ………………

I see...

Je vois...

た、確かに…………

That's true, I suppose.

この事態、敵が 仕掛けたものだとすれば……

Still, if our current predicament is the work of our enemies...

……探索を進めれば 明らかになることだろう。

I'm sure our questions will be answered so long as we keep looking.

自分の力が必要ならば、 いつでも使ってくれ。

In the meantime, let me know if you need me. I'll be more than happy to aid you.

その《敵》とやらが 何者かは分からんが……

We may know very little about who our enemies are and what they want...

このまま放って 置くわけにもいかん。

...but we can't afford to just ignore them.

自分の力が必要ならば、 いつでも使ってくれ。

So let me know if you need me. I'll be more than happy to aid you.

こんばんは、いい夜ね。

Oh, good evening. It's a lovely night, isn't it?

あいにく月は見えないけれど、 お星様がとっても綺麗。

It's a shame we can't see the moon from here, but the stars are pretty enough to make up for that.

レン………………

Renne...

……ヨシュアは 何も言わなくていいわ。

...Don't say anything, Joshua.

レン、初めから 分かっていたもの。

I knew everything from the very beginning.

……そうか………………

...Okay...

あの、レン………………

Umm... Renne...

……レーヴェは…………

Loewe...

いろんなことを教えてくれたけど、 『真実』だけは教えてくれなかった。

Loewe taught me all kinds of things, but whenever I asked him to tell me 'the truth' about something, he never would.

レンの真実は、 レンが自分で見つけなさいって。

'The truth is something you have to find out for yourself,' he would say.

……そうだったんだ…………

...Oh...

あの、レンちゃん…………

Umm... Renne...

あの、レンちゃん…………？

Umm... Renne...?

フフッ…………

Heehee.

Hi hi.

レン、思うんだけど……

I've got a really neat idea, actually.

こんなに物好きさんたちが 集まっているんだもの。

It's not often you have this many strange people in one place...

あの真っ黒なグロリアスで 鬼ごっこしてみない？

...so how about we all go and play hide-and-seek in that really black Glorious? Doesn't that sound exciting?

あはは、さすがに それはちょっと……

Y-Yeah, let's not do that...

……レンさんは、我々の中で最も あの船の構造に熟知しているはず……

Out of all of us, you're by far the most familiar with the Glorious' layout. I'd say you would have an unfair advantage.

……フェアではありませんね。 ルールを追加しましょう。

I'm not opposed to the idea, but we need additional rules to even out the odds.

はは、何で乗り気やねん……！

You're actually up for it?!

ふ、ふええ…………

E-Eeek...

A-Aïe aïe aïe...

そ、それはやめてや……

Y-Yeah, let's not do that...

ふふっ、綺麗な星空。

Heehee. The stars are all so pretty.

お月様が出ていれば、 もっときれいなのにね。

It's just a shame there's no moon. That would make it even lovelier.

エステルとヨシュアって、 毎日一緒に稽古してるのね。

The two of you train together every day, huh?

フフ、エステルも 少しは強くなったのかしら。

I wonder if Estelle's getting stronger because of it?

ふうん……

Huh...

Mh...

……エステルとヨシュア、 毎日一緒に稽古してるみたいね。

So Estelle and Joshua train together every day, huh?

フフ、エステルも 少しは強くなったのかしら。

I wonder if it's having any effect on her.

あ、うん。{wait} #1008Fまあ少しずつ……だけどね。

Well, I'd like to think I'm getting stronger, yeah...{wait} #1008FIt's slow going, though.

ふうん……

Huh...

Mh...

うん、少しずつだけどね。

I'd say she's getting stronger, yeah. It's gradual, but progress is progress.

ふうん……

Oh...

Oh...

エステルも、毎日 ヨシュアと稽古してるのね。

So Estelle trains with Joshua every day, huh?

フフッ…… 後でレンが鍛えてあげようかな。

Perhaps I should help train her up myself.

あ、あはは…… お手柔らかにお願いするわ。

A-Ahaha... Go easy on me, okay?

……ふう、それにしても あの３人ったら……

*sigh* I'm still disappointed those three didn't stay any longer.

もう少しレンたちと 遊んでくれてもよかったんじゃない？

I wanted to play more!

いや、それは勘弁してや……

I sure as heck didn't...

……………………………………

...

......

……アガット、準備はできてるぞ。

I'm ready for some sparring whenever you are, Agate.

稽古したくなったら いつでも声を掛けてくれ。

Whenever you're up for it, come hit me up.

すまねえな…… あとで必ず寄るからよ。

Sorry for the wait, man. I'll be by later. Promise.

この空間が どういうものなのかは 良く判らんが……

The actual makeup of this place might be a mystery to us even now...

空気が澄んでいて 気を高めるのにもってこい というのは確かだろう。

...but one thing's for sure: the clear air makes it the perfect environment for training and sparring.

スウゥゥゥ……………

*deep breath*

ハアァァァ………………！

Haaaaaah!

アガット、そろそろ本気を出せ。

Time to stop holding back, Agate.

その程度じゃ俺は倒せんぞ。

You're not gonna beat me if you don't!

始祖さんの話を 沈思黙考するに……

I'm just mulling over all Celeste told us about Phantasma earlier.

俺たちは今、この体ごと どこか高位の世界に 取り込まれているらしいな。

It's strange to think we've suddenly ended up in a world that's part of a higher plane of the universe.

ふむ、例えるなら 仙界のようなものか……

Thinking about it, this place is probably perfect for martial arts training. It's like being at the top of a tall mountain, isolated from the world.

詳しいことは判らんが、 俺たちはどこか高位の世界に 来てしまったらしい。

Sounds wild, but it's true--we've ended up in a higher plane of the universe.

ふむ、例えるなら 仙界のようなものか……

Thinking about it, this place is probably perfect for martial arts training. It's like being at the top of a tall mountain, isolated from the world.

ふむ、俺たちが取り込まれた この空間が、本当に想念の 影響を受けるものなら……

If the world we're in really does change as a result of our thoughts...

《影の王》の仕掛ける この先の戦いには、強い精神力が 要求されていくだろうな。

...then we're going to need more than just physical strength in the battles ahead-- we're going to need mental strength, too.

この先の戦いには、強い 精神力が要求されていくだろう。

We're going to need more than just physical strength in the battles ahead--we're going to need mental strength, too.

恐らく《王》も そのような準備をしているはず……

I'd be surprised if that wasn't what the Lord of Phantasma had in mind.

しかし、大佐の登場は 少しばかり予想外だったなぁ。

Man, I sure wasn't expecting Colonel Richard of all guys to be in a sealing stone!

そうなると、場合によっては カシウスの旦那あたりも……

At this rate, it'll be Master Cassius in the next one.

いや、待てよ……

Hold up a sec...

共和国にいた俺が 巻き込まれているってことは アイツもあり得るのか……

I ended up here despite being in Calvard, so maybe she could even end up here...

……………………ふむ。

Hmm...

{color 5}ジンは少し気がかりな表情で考え事をしている。

{color 5}Zin is deep in thought, something clearly on his mind.

確かに《影の王》は 得体の知れん人物だが……

Everything about the Lord of Phantasma is still a mystery to us...

あの《女性の霊》は 俺たちの味方のようだしな。

But look on the bright side--that ghost seems all right with us.

これだけの実力者も揃っている。 必ずどこかに勝機はあるはずだ。

We've got a whole lot of capable people here, too. I'm sure there's got to be a way for us to get through this.

確かに《影の王》は 得体の知れん人物だが……

Everything about the Lord of Phantasma is still a mystery to us...

俺たちにも必ず勝機はあるはずだ。

...but there's got to be a way for us to win against them. I'm sure of it.

……あ、そうだジンさん。

Oh, by the way, Zin?

あの、キリカさんが ギルドの受付を辞めちゃったって 聞いたんだけど……

Is it true that Kilika quit her job as guild receptionist?

はは……まあな。

Haha... Yeah, it is.

実はちょっとした筋#2Rすじ#から スカウトがあってな。 あいつも悩んでたようだが……

She got a job offer from elsewhere that she ended up taking. It wasn't an easy choice for her, to be sure...

……いい機会でもあるしな。 共和国に帰ることにしたらしい。

But it was a good opportunity, so I'm glad she took it. Either way, because of that, she had to go back to Calvard.

そっか…………

Oh, right...

Oh, c'est vrai...

そういう話だったら 仕方ないわね。

Well, she's got to do what's best for her, I guess.

ツァイスの支部に キリカさんがいないと思うと すこし寂しい気もするけど……

It's gonna be really weird when I next go to the guild in Zeiss and she's not there, though.

はは、何を言ってるんだエステル。

Haha. Maybe so, but it's not like you can't go and see her over in Calvard.

今は武者修行で あちこち回ってるんだろう？

I mean, you're in the middle of touring the continent as it is!

共和国に直接 会いに来ればいいじゃないか。

Just drop by and pay her a visit! You can come and see me, too, while you're at it.

あ、そっか。

You make a compelling argument, Zin...

うん、それじゃあ……

Okay, then!

この世界から脱出できたら 遊びに行かせてもらおうかな。

When we finally manage to get ourselves out of here, I'll do just that!

おう、待ってるぜ。

I'm looking forward to it already!

《影の国》には 常識では計り知れんような “魔物”が出現する……

The fiends we've encountered in here so far have been fierce enough...

今後星層を下っていけば、 想像を超える能力を持つものが いるかもしれん。

The farther we descend through the planes of this place, though, the more dangerous they're likely to become.

気をつけんとな。

We're gonna have to keep our guard up.

俺も“魔物”を 相手にするのは初めてだ。

It's my first time seeing fiends up close and personal...although I suppose that's true of all of us.

敵の特性を見極めて 対応せねばならんな。

So all the battles in here are one big learning experience with trying to work out how to handle them. But hey! All experience is good experience.

しかし樹の香りに 静かな滝の音か……

Still, with the fragrance of the trees and the sound of the waterfall gently falling, this place really takes me back to my training days.

ふむ、ここにいると 修行時代を思い出すな……

It's kind of nice.

そうか、髪を切ったか……

I was surprised when I saw your new haircut, Schera.

確か一座にいた頃から 伸ばしてたと聞いたが。

I'd heard you'd been growing your hair out since your troupe days.

ええ………………

I had...

でもまあ色々あったので……

But, well...after all that happened, I just felt like a change, I suppose.

……少し気分転換に。

So I cut it.

…………そうか。

...Ah, right.

なかなか似合ってるじゃないか。

It suits you.

ふふ、どうも。

Haha. Why, thank you.

そうか、シェラザードが 髪を切ったか……

I was surprised when I saw Schera's new look.

確か一座にいた頃から 伸ばしてたと聞いていたが。

As far as I'm aware, she'd been growing it out since her troupe days.

そうみたいですね。

Yeah.

Ouais.

だた例の一件で、シェラさんも 色々あったみたいですから……

Still, she did go through a lot during her time with us.

ふむ、確かにな……

Did she ever.

だがまあ、あいつなら大丈夫だろう。 芯の強さは折り紙付きだからな。

I think we all know she'll be just fine, though. She's a tough cookie, both in body and mind.

ええ、僕もそう思います。

Yeah. I agree.
