……5年前のあの日 私を助けてくれたのは、やっぱり ケビンと姉様だったのだと思う。
Five years ago, Kevin and Rufina did all they could to help me and save me from danger.
その結果がどうあれ…… ケビンも姉様も、大切な人だから。
They might have regretted the outcome, but that doesn't change their intentions--or how important they both are to me.
だから、《影の王》は 私たちの手で倒す。
That's why we need to defeat the Lord of Phantasma. Together.
……姉様のためにも。
For Rufina as well as anyone else.
ああ、そうやね。
Yeah. You're right.

What're you doing here, by the way?

……ケビン、紫苑の家に入るには 私が行かなきゃいけないはず……
Kevin, you know as well as I do that you'll need me with you to go inside Aster House.
もしかして………わざとやってる?
You're not kicking me off the team on purpose, are you?
いや、ちゃうちゃう ……ちゃうって!
D-Don't be silly!

Yes? What is it?

聖典は全ての民に 安息をもたらすもの……
The Testaments exist to bring peace to the hearts of Aidios' children.
よろしければ、みなさまにも 読んで差し上げますが。
Would you like me to read you an excerpt from them?
えっとホラ、 目的地までかなりあるんでしょ?
It's gonna be a long journey, right?
途中でお腹空くと思うし、 やっぱり最低限の食料は必要よね。
So we'll probably get hungry on the way. And if we don't have any food with us, we're gonna be in biiig trouble!
…………心の友です。
...I like the way you think.
ははは…………
Hahaha...
えっと、セレストさんは 食事はいらないみたいだから……
Umm... Celeste says she's not going to need any, so that leaves, like, what?
ん~、16人分かあ…… 結構多いわね。
Enough food for 16 people, I guess?
……18人分でお願いします。
...I think you should bring enough for 18.
私が3人分いただきますので。
I need about three people's worth of it.
あ、そうなんだ……
F-For real...?
……うん、了解!
Okay, then!
(2人とも…… {} ギルバートの兄ちゃんのこと {} すっかり忘れてるやろ……)
(I hope Gilbert's got a small stomach... Sounds like he's gettin' jack all.)
あ、ちょっと お腹空いちゃって……
I'm feeling kinda hungry, so I came over here to get something to eat.
う、運動すると お腹が空くものなのよっ!
Wh-What are you looking at me like that for?! Exercise makes you hungry! It's a fact of life!
……その通りです。
I couldn't agree more, Estelle.
それが真理というもの。 何人にも否定することはできません。
That's a universal rule of this world. To try to deny it would be folly.
(この2人、ホンマ気ぃ合うなあ……)
(These two sure have a lot in common...)
もう、あの2人ったら……
*sigh* I wish those two could get along...
何とかして 仲良くさせらんないかなぁ……
I wanna do something to help on that front, but I'm not sure what I can do.
(はは、エステルちゃんやったら {} 何も問題ないと思うわ……)
(Oh, I'm sure you could if you put your mind to it, Estelle.)

仲良くできないのかなぁ……
I wanna do something to help on that front, but I'm not sure what I can do.
ケビンさん…… 長いようで、短かったですね。
It's weird how it feels like we've known each other for such a long time...but when you think about it, it hasn't been that long at all.
ははは……そうかもな。
Hahaha. True enough.
……ヨシュア君。 一つだけ白状しとくわ。
You know...I might as well tell you this now.
オレな……いま君のことが めっちゃ羨ましいみたいや。
Right now, I'm pretty damn jealous of you, Joshua.
え……
...You are?
Hein ?
オレと君はある意味…… 同じような道を歩いてたやろ?
When you think about it, we've walked fairly similar paths in life, right?
なのに君だけが一人、 陽の当たる場所に戻れて……
But while I'm still feeling my way around in the dark, you managed to make it back out into the light again.
半年前は、良かったなぁとしか 思えへんかったんやけど……
I didn't really feel this way when you were finally free from the Stigma and able to move on and all...
……何でか今になって 猛烈に羨ましくなってきたわ。
...but now? That's a whole different story.
ケビンさん……
...You know? I think I know why, too.
……多分それは、ケビンさんが 『諦めなく』なったからでしょうね。
It's probably because before now, you'd given up on ever being able to come back to the light. Except now, you want to believe you can again.
ああ…… どうやらその通りみたいや。
Man...you've got me all figured out.
はは…… なんかみっともないな、オレ。
Haha... Pretty pitiful of me, huh?
いいじゃないですか。 みっともなくったって。
Maybe, but there's no harm in that.
……ケビンさん。 必ずこの世界から脱出しましょう。
Before that, though, we've got to get out of this world.
みんなと…… それと自分自身を信じて。
But as long as we believe in ourselves, I'm sure we can manage that.
ああ……もちろんや!
For sure.
《影の王》は僕たちのことを 駒と呼んでいました。
The Lord of Phantasma keeps referring to us as pieces on a game board.
……恐らく、全員の力を 合わせない限り、脱出できない 仕組みになっているのでしょう。
And it's obvious enough that unless we all work together, there's no way we're getting out of here.
《影の王》はルールに 拘っているようですから。
Especially with how fixated she is on playing by the rules she's established.
恐らく、全員の力を 合わせない限り、この世界から 脱出することはできない……
It's obvious enough that unless we all work together, there's no way we're getting out of here.
これはあらかじめ定められた ルールなんだと思います。
That's probably one of the rules that governs the world itself.
《王》自体、ルールによって 規定された存在のようですから。
But at the same time, it feels like the Lord of Phantasma herself is defined by the rules of this world, too.
……ヨシュア?
...Joshua?
こんなところで何をしているの?
What are you doing here?
ああ、うん……
Oh, not much...
少しこの先の展開を 推測していたんだけど……
I was just giving some thought to what we might find ourselves up against during the remainder of our time here.
……ふぅ、そんなの 進んでみれば判ることじゃない。
*sigh* Why would you waste time doing that when we'll find out by proceeding anyway?
せっかくレンが 手を貸してあげるって 言ってるんだから……
You don't need to worry about anything as long as I'm with you all.
ははは、それもそうだね。
Haha. I suppose you're right.
……ヨシュア?
...Joshua?
どうしたのこんなところで……
What're you doing here?
うん、レンのことなんだけど……
Oh, I was just thinking about Renne...
えっと、エステルさんたちは リベールを発ってから、 レンちゃんを探していたんですよね。
The two of you have been trying to find her ever since you left Liberl, right?
……ヨシュアにクローゼ?
...Hmm?
どうしたのこんなところで……
What're you guys doing here?
うん、レンのことなんだけど……
We were just talking about Renne.
えっと、エステルさんたちは リベールを発ってから、 レンちゃんを探していたんですよね。
The two of you have been trying to find her ever since you left Liberl, right?
うん、《中枢塔#7R アクシスピラー#》では きちんと話ができなかったし……
Yeah... I don't feel like we got to talk to her properly back at the Axis Pillar.
レンにはまだ 伝えたいことがあったから……
There's something I really want to tell her, too...and I'm not going to be satisfied until I've done it.
ふふ、でもちょっと いい顔してるみたいね。
Heehee. Still, she looks like she's doing okay.
……うん、今はもう少し このままで見守りたいかな。
So I think the best thing to do for now is keep watching over her and see what happens.
…………そうだね。
...That might be for the best, yeah.
焦っても仕方が無い。 最後に決めるのは レン自身なんだし……
At the end of the day, she needs to be the one who chooses what to do. Nothing good's going to come from pushing her to make that call any faster.
……この世界に 取り込まれてしまったことが……
I just hope that ending up here with us and everyone else has a positive effect on her.
ここでみんなと 会えたことが、レンにとって いい影響になればいいんだけど。
But all we can really do is wait and see, huh?
……ええ、そうですね。
...Yes, I think you're right.
……ええ、そうですね。
...Yes, I think you're right.
もしレンの言ったとおり、 この世界が《影の王》によって 構築されたものなら……
If Renne's theory that this world was molded into its current form by the Lord of Phantasma is true...
やはりこの先の《星層》は 《影の王》の目的に沿ったものに なるだろうね。
...I can only assume the rest of the planes in here will be tailored to forwarding whatever their goal is, too.
《王》が仕掛ける遊戯#4R ゲーム#…… ……あまりいい気はしないな。
I doubt said goal is in our best interests, either.
レンのことは しばらくこのままで 見守ることにしようか。
We're better off just keeping watch over Renne for the time being.
最後に決めるのは レン自身なんだし……
At the end of the day, she needs to be the one who chooses what to do. Nothing good's going to come from pushing her to make that call any faster.
ここでみんなと 会えたことが、レンにとって いい影響になるかもしれない。
...Personally, I'm hoping that meeting everyone here like this will end up having a positive effect on her in the long run.
《王》が仕掛ける遊戯#4R ゲーム#……
The Lord of Phantasma clearly has some kind of 'game' for us in mind...
……あまりいい気はしないな。
I can't see it being very enjoyable for us, either.
レンのことは、 しばらくこのままで 見守ることにしよう。
We're better off just keeping watch over Renne for the time being.
最後に道を決めるのは レン自身だからね。
At the end of the day, she needs to be the one who chooses what to do. Nothing good's going to come from pushing her to make that call any faster.
……やあユリアさん。
Why, hello, Julia.
帰国の際には随分と 世話になってしまったね。
It's occurred to me that I never did properly thank you for your assistance during my return to Erebonia.
どうだろう、後で一杯 奢らせてもらえないだろうか。
So, what say you? Would you like to accompany me for a drink or two? On me, of course.
は、はあ………………
I... Well... I'm not sure that would be...
……大尉、 真に受けない方がいい。
Feel free to ignore him, Captain.
……大尉、 真に受けない方がいい。
Feel free to ignore him, Captain.
フッ、実はこの機会にユリアさんと お近づきになりたいと思ってね。
Heh. I've begun to think this may be a good chance to get to know Julia a little better.
密かに隙…… いや、機を窺っていたのだが……
I've been waiting for my chance to strike...
やめておいた方が いいと思いますよ。
I...wouldn't recommend it, Olivier. Really.
はあ……やめときなさいってば。
*sigh* If you thought my staff was bad, wait until you meet her sword...
あ、あはは……
A-Ahaha...
やめておいた方が いいと思いますけど……
I...strongly wouldn't recommend it. Really, I say that for your own good.
……問題は起こすなと あれほど言い聞かせただろう。
How many times must I tell you not to cause trouble before it gets through that seemingly impenetrable skull of yours?
大人しく留守番をしていろ。
Stay here and behave.
運悪く、ミュラーのやつに 見つかってしまったのさ。
...but unfortunately, Mueller caught me before I could make good on my plans.
ウフフ、ユリアさん。 後で一杯奢らせてくれたまえよ。
Hohoho! It would be my pleasure to treat you to a drink later, Julia.
フム、なかなかに隙が無いね。
Hmm... Now, how shall I go about this...?
どこから攻略したものか……
A good chance just doesn't seem to be presenting itself...
やだもうミュラーくんったら……
My dear friend, you misunderstand me!
やあケビン神父……
Hello, Kevin.
フフ、君も色々 抱えているようだね。
It sure seems like you've got quite a lot on your mind.
全て話せとは言わないが、 ボクらも巻き込まれている以上 あとで事情を聞かせてもらうよ?
I won't force you to tell us everything, but given that we've all been caught up in this, I think it's fair to expect some kind of explanation.
ええ、必ずお話しますさかい。
You'll get one. I promise.
申し訳ないけど、 もう少しお待ちください。
Hope you don't mind waiting a little bit longer.
フ……君も職業柄、全てを 話すわけにはいかないだろうが……
I can appreciate that someone in your line of work will have plenty of things they can't speak of freely...
ボクらも巻き込まれている以上 あとで事情を聞かせてもらうよ?
...but given that we've all been caught up in this, I think it's fair to expect some kind of explanation eventually.
フフ、ここの所 豪華絢爛なパーティが 続いていたからねえ。
Haha. It's been one fancy party after another for me lately.
たまにはこんな場所で静かな ひと時を過ごすのも悪くない。
So truthfully, it's actually nice to have some time to sit and relax once in a while.
…………お前も少しは働け。
...Does the possibility of 'doing some work' not occur to you?
諸君、ミュラーのやつは コキ使ってやってくれたまえ。
Be sure to work Mueller to the bone in my place, my wonderful friends.
ボクの代わりに バリバリ働いてくれるはずさ。
He knows how to make himself useful.
……いや、この一件に関しては 宰相閣下は関与していないだろう。
...No. I think it's safe to say that His Excellency the Chancellor isn't in any way involved in this.
あの御仁が動くなら、 こんな回りくどい手は 打って来ないはずさ。
This is far too roundabout a plan of attack even for him.
《蛇》の方は何とも言えないが……
I can't be so sure that Ouroboros isn't, however...
確かに、らしくない手ではあるな。
Well, I can't disagree that this doesn't feel like something he would do.
それに仕掛けるなら、帝都で いくらでも機会があったはず……
Not least because if he wanted to harm you, he had plenty of chances to do so in Heimdallr.
やあ諸君、探索の方は 進んでいるかね?
Greetings! How fares the investigation?
何か分かったら、 すぐに知らせてくれたまえよ。
If you find anything out, do come and let me know. I'm ever so curious.
オリヴァルト皇子、あれから お変わりありませんか?
How have you been since we last met, Your Highness?
帝国の社交界でご活躍と お聞きしていますけれど……
Word of your popularity in Erebonian high society has been reaching us over in Liberl, too.

フッ、まあ今のところは 猫をかぶらせてもらっているよ。
Well, I'm doing a good enough job of convincing them I'm little more than an elegant-yet-harmless prince at the moment.
しかし優雅で華やかなだけの 貴公子というのは肩が凝ってねぇ。
Still, spending so much of my time pretending to be someone I'm not can be terribly exhausting.
いつか折を見て、ボクの真の姿を 大々的に披露するつもりなのさ……
So I'm biding my time and waiting for the perfect chance to cast it all aside and reveal my true form to the world...
──そう! 愛の伝道師#10Rラ ブ ・ ゴ ス ペ ラ ー #としての真の姿をねっ!
Then all shall know Olivier, the Gospeler of Love!
阿呆が……
You moron...
阿呆が……
You moron...
愛の伝道師#10R ラブ・ゴスペラー #ってあんた……
'Gospeler of Love'? THAT'S what you're going with?
あの《ゴスペル》以上に 危険な香りがしますね……
Who else thinks he's going to be even more of a menace to society than the black orbment Gospels ever were?
あの《ゴスペル》以上に 危険な香りがしますね……

…………しかし、その 女の霊というのがまた良いね。
Still, the thought of that ghost has yet to leave my mind since I first heard about her.
たった一人、《影の国》に 取り残されてしまった美しき亡霊……
Just imagine the spirit of a beautiful woman, left all alone in this empty realm...
ウフフ、なかなか ゾクゾクさせてくれるじゃないか。
Hahaha! Doesn't the thought just get your imagination racing?
………………………………
...
......
しかし、その 女の霊というのがまた良いね。
Still, the thought of that ghost has yet to leave my mind since I first heard about her.
この幻想的な《庭園》も 彼女の趣味なのかもしれない。
I wonder whether this garden's appearance is a reflection of her interests?
フフ、悪くないと思わないかい?
If so, I have to commend her for her tastes.
ヨシュアさん…………
So...
……お別れ、言えたみたいですね。
...you got to say farewell, Joshua?
……うん、おかげさまで。
...Yeah. Thanks.
それにしても…… クローゼ、鋭すぎない?
I'm impressed you worked that out without me saying anything, Kloe. Heh. You're too sharp for your own good.
あはは………
Aww. Hardly.
ヨシュアさんが少し 吹っ切れた顔をしていたので。
You just look like a huge burden's been lifted from your shoulders, that's all. Kind of gave it away to me.
あ、えっと……
Oh... Umm...
書架の本を読んでいるうちに ついつい熱中してしまって……
Heehee. I'm just taking a break for now.
ふふ、少し休ませて もらっているんです。
I got a little too engrossed in reading the books over in the library area, you see.
あ、あはは…… ごめんなさい、ジョゼットさん。
A-Ahaha... Sorry, Josette.
私、少し 熱中しすぎるところがあって……
I've always had this habit of getting really engrossed in things when I'm doing them.
それにしても、ここは 本当に落ち着ける場所ですよね。
This place is incredibly calming somehow, isn't it?
初めて来た時は 随分と驚きましたけど……
I might've been more surprised than anything when I first found myself here, but now I'm actually quite comfortable.
あ、えっとレンちゃん……?
E-Erm... Renne...?
あはは、その……
Ahaha... Umm...
探索に出るときは 気をつけてくださいね。
Take care, okay?
……クローゼ?
Kloe?
どうしたの こんなところで……
What're you doing here?
あ、えっと……
Oh, it's just...
少しレンちゃんの 様子が気になって……
I was just curious how Renne was doing, that's all.
お2人はリベールを発ってから、 レンちゃんを探していたんですよね。
The two of you have been trying to find her ever since you left Liberl, right?
うん、《中枢塔#7R アクシスピラー#》では きちんと話ができなかったからね。
Yeah... I don't feel like we got to talk to her properly back at the Axis Pillar.
それに、レンにはどうしても 伝えたいことがあって……
There's something I really want to tell her, too...and I'm not going to be satisfied until I've done it.

……ええ、そうですね。
...Yes, I think you're right.
……ヨシュアにクローゼ?
Hmm?
どうしたの こんなところで……
What are the two of you doing here?
あ、エステルさん。
Oh, Estelle.
少しレンちゃんのことで……
We were just talking about Renne.
エステルさんたちは リベールを発ってから、 レンちゃんを探していたんですよね。
The two of you have been trying to find her ever since you left Liberl, right?

...Yes, I think you're right.
人の想いが反映される世界……
If this world really does change as a result of people's thoughts...
ならば、私たちが集められたのも 何者かの意志によるものかもしれません。
...then it seems reasonable to assume that someone must have wished for all of us to come together, too.
もしそうだとすれば…… 《影の王》か、あの女性の霊か……
Could that someone be the Lord of Phantasma? Or is it that ghost?
それとも……私たち自身なのか。
...Or maybe even us?
レンちゃんと正面から向き合うのは とても大変なことだと思いますけど……
I'm sure it's not going to be easy to come to an understanding with Renne after all she's been through, but you know what?
ふふ、エステルさんと ヨシュアさんならきっと大丈夫です。
If anyone can do it, it's you and Joshua, Estelle.
あれほどの 強い絆を持つお2人なら、きっと……
The bond between the two of you is so strong that I'm not sure there's anything you couldn't do together.
あはは……
Awww...
ありがと、クローゼ。
Thanks, Kloe. I hope you're right.
一つの謎が解けたら また新たな謎が立ち塞がる。
No sooner have we solved one mystery, another presents itself...
……なるほど。 確かに良く出来た遊戯ですね。
As a game, this is certainly well thought out, to say the least.
レンちゃんに関しては、 私もできる限り力になりたいと 思っています。
I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do to help you when it comes to Renne, but I do want to do everything within my power.
私にできることがあれば いつでも声を掛けてくださいね。
So if there's anything I can do, say the word.
リシャールさんが軍を 退役なさってからは、お会いする 機会もありませんでしたけど……
This is my first time meeting Richard ever since he officially left the army.
会社の方のお名前は 耳にすることがあるんですよ。
I'd heard his company's name mentioned on a number of occasions since then, though.
へえ、そうだったんだ……
Oh, really?
意外と繁盛してるのかな……?
Maybe it's doing pretty well for itself, then.
リシャールさんの会社のお名前は 何度か耳にしたことがあるんです。
I've heard about Richard's company a number of times since it was first established.
『R&Aリサーチ』社…… 確か雑誌にも、小さな広告が 出ていたように思います。
There've been small adverts for it in magazines, too, I believe.
まだ封印されたままの 人たちがいるはずです。
We have every reason to believe that there are still people sealed in stones in this land that we have yet to discover.
異界化した ル=ロックル訓練場のどこかか、 あるいは次なる《第五星層》……
Whether that is somewhere in Le Locle or on the next plane, I don't know...but we need to find them.
……先へ進みましょう。
So let's keep going. Together.
封印されている 人たちが心配です。 先へ進みましょう。
I'm worried about all the people still trapped in sealing stones here. We should hurry on.
……リースさんのことも 少し心配ですけれど。
...Althooough, I'm also worried about Ries...
(うっ………… {} なんや見抜かれてる気が……)
(Erk... Why do I get the feeling she knows more than she's letting on?)
(さすがクローゼ、鋭いな……)
(She's a sharp girl. She probably does.)
あ、ちょっとジークが お腹が空いたと言うもので……
Oh, I'm just feeding Sieg. He said he was hungry.
ふふ、大丈夫です。 すぐに済みますから。
Heehee. It won't take long. Promise.
それにしても、水や食料が 簡単に確保できてよかったです。
Still, I'm truly glad that we were able to find plenty of food and water here.
これも女性の霊…… ……《庭園の主》さんの お陰なのかも知れませんね。
We probably owe that to that ghost, too.
まさかアネラスさんまで 取り込まれていたなんて……
I certainly wasn't expecting Anelace to have been drawn in here, too...
………………………………

......
……ヨシュアさん、 一刻も早く探索を進めましょう。
We should keep up with our investigation as quickly as we can.
私もできる限りの お手伝いをしますから。
If you need anything from me, let me know. I'm always happy to lend a hand.
……ヨシュアさん、 一刻も早く探索を進めましょう。

If you need anything from me, let me know. I'm always happy to lend a hand.
この庭園は、あの女性の霊に 関係のある場所のようですね。
It has always felt like we were being somehow protected when we were in this garden as opposed to anywhere else in Phantasma...
そういえば、他の異空間とは違って 何かに守られている気がします。
...so I can certainly believe the idea that it may be connected to that ghost.
この庭園はもともと、 女性の霊に関係のある 場所だったのかもしれません。
I don't see any reason why this garden wouldn't be connected to that ghost somehow.
ふふ、そう思うと 何かに守られているような 気もしますよね。
Heehee. And I don't mind that one bit. It feels reassuring to know she's watching over us.
あれ、アガット…… ティータの傍にいなくていいの?
Huh? Why aren't you hanging out with Tita, Agate?
だから、俺は別にあいつの 保護者じゃねえっつーの。
The hell kinda question is that? I'm not her dad.
……あいつももうガキじゃねえんだ。
...Besides, she's not a little kid.
何をやりゃあ いいかくらい分かってるさ。
She knows what she needs to do without me telling her or breathin' over her neck.
だから、俺は別にあいつの 保護者じゃねえっつーの。
The hell kinda question is that? I'm not her dad.
それにダチと一緒なんだからよ、 そっちの方がいいだろ。
Besides, she's with her friend right now. It's fine.
……ふぅん…………
Oh-hooo...
……何だよ、何か文句あんのかよ。
...What? You got a problem?
照れない照れない㈱
There's no need to be so flustered, dearest. ㈱ Your feelings are nothing to be ashamed of.
…………あの。
Umm...
Euhhh...
ティータさんがあちらに いらっしゃいましたけれど……
You do know Tita is over there at the moment, don't you?
ん、ああ……
Yeah, sure...
それがどうかしたかよ。
Why're you asking?
いえ、いつも一緒に いらっしゃる気がしたもので。
Well, it's just that you always seemed to be with her...
てっきり逸#2Rはぐ#れられたのかと。
I thought you may have been wondering where she was.
……迷子かよ、俺は……!
I ain't some chick separated from its mother hen, you know!
クスクス…………
Teehee...
……いよいよ大詰めだぜ。
Sounds like this is it. The end's finally in sight.
今のうちに鍛えとかねえとな。
Better train myself up as best I can--I'm gonna need it.
あいつももうガキじゃねえしな。
She's not a kid anymore, so I'm sure she'll be fine without me.
必要なときはついてるつもりだ。 ……心配いらねえっての。
If she needs me, I'm always there, but I know she can otherwise handle herself.
にまぁ~………☆
Oh, my... ☆
……だからなんだっつーの!!
What's with that starry-eyed look?!
……別にいつも一緒に いるわけじゃねえんだっての。
We're not always with one another! We just happen to be together sometimes.
あいつももう ガキじゃねえんだしな。
Besides, she's not a kid anymore. She doesn't need me looking after her every second of the day.
………………………………
...
......
……な、なんだっつーの その不思議そうなツラは!?
Wh-What's with that look?!
ここから先は、 立ち止まっている 余裕なんてねえはずだ。
From here on, we ain't gonna have time for standin' still. We've gotta push on, on, and on.
お前らも今のうちに、 しっかり鍛えとけよ。
So make sure you train up while you can, okay?
アルセイユの速度なら 《星層》を超えるのに、あまり 時間は掛からないと思います。
With the Arseille's speed, I don't think it'll take long at all for us to break out of the planes.
先月お母さんが改造して、 速度も大幅に上がってますし……
Mom was actually able to raise its top speed with a few improvements the other month, too, so that'll be a huge help.
あはは、そうなんだ。
Huh. Really?
うーん、ティータのお母さんか。 一度会ってみたいかも。
I hope I can meet your mom someday.
えへへ…………
Heehee... I'd love you to meet her, too!
うん、お母さんとお父さんも お姉ちゃんたちと会いたがってたよ。
I'll have to introduce you to both my parents one day. I know they've been looking forward to meeting you and Joshua!
お姉ちゃんたちが帰ってきたら 絶対に紹介するね!
Come over any time when you get back to Liberl!
ティータのお母さんって エリカさんって言ったっけ。
Their names were, uh...
お父さんは…… ダンさんって言ったかな?
...Dan and Erika, right?
えへへ………うん。
Yup. That's right.
2人とも、お兄ちゃんたちと 一度会いたいって言ってたし……
The two of them have been really looking forward to meeting you and Estelle.
お兄ちゃんたちが帰ってきたら 絶対に紹介するね!
Come over any time when you get back to Liberl!
(そういや何か {} いじってやがったな……)
(Oh, I'd forgotten about her messing around with it before.)
(俺には突然スパナを {} 投げつけてきやがったが……)
(...I just remember being hit by a flying spanner when she was.)
ほへ………………?
...Hmm?
よ、よしっ…………
R-Right!
お父さんとお母さんの所に 帰るためにも、頑張らないと……!
If I wanna get back to Mom and Dad, I've gotta give it my all!
……そうだったんだ。
...Oh, I see.
そうだったのですか……
Really...
……はい。
...Yeah.
わたしには詳しい事情とかは 分からないですけど、やっぱり レーヴェさんは……
I only know part of the story...
ヨシュアお兄ちゃんのこと、 ずっと心に掛けていたんじゃ ないかなって思います。
...but I think Loewe must've always wanted a chance to properly say goodbye to Joshua, too.
だから、ヨシュアお兄ちゃんと ちゃんとお別れが言えて……
I'm happy he was finally given that chance.
ヨシュアお兄ちゃんの お別れが聞けて……
And that Joshua was able to say a proper goodbye to him, too.
……ほんとーに、良かったです……
I'm sure Joshua's just as happy in his own way.
うん、そうだね。
Yeah. Me, too.
…………ええ。
...Indeed.
……レンさんも、 お別れができて良かったですね。
I'm glad Renne was able to say goodbye to him as well.
あの、レンさんも……
Still...
お別れができれば 良かったのですが……
...it's a shame you weren't able to say goodbye to him as well, Renne.
ふふっ…… 教会のお姉さんに言われると なんだかおかしな感じね。
A shame, huh? I never expected to hear something like that from you.
……でも…………
Nevertheless, I appreciate the sentiment.
……せっかくなんだから、 レーヴェに何か聖典のお話を 読んでほしいな。
Perhaps now that you have, you could read him a story from the Testaments?
……はい、喜んで。
...It would be my pleasure.
……レンさんも……… お別れができて、良かったですね。
I'm glad Renne was able to say goodbye to him as well.
人と別れるのは、 辛いものですから……
It's always a painful thing to have to part with someone, but it's even more painful to not have the chance to say farewell.
……レンさんにも……… お別れをさせてあげたかったですね。
I just wish Renne would have had a chance to say goodbye to him as well.
辛いことかもしれませんが ……家族、なのですから………
It's always a painful thing to have to part with someone, but it's even more painful to not have the chance to say farewell...especially to family.
わたしには、詳しい事情とか 分からないですけど……
I only know part of the story...
レーヴェさんはヨシュア お兄ちゃんのこと、ずっと心に 掛けていたんだと思います。
...but I think Loewe must've always wanted a chance to properly say goodbye to Joshua.
それと、レンちゃんのことも……
And to Renne, too.
……ふふっ、そうかもね。
...Heehee. Maybe.
レーヴェさんとは、 前にラヴェンヌ村で 会ったことがあるんです。
Whenever I met Loewe back when he was still alive, he always looked so...lonely, somehow.
そのときは、とても 寂しそうな目をしてましたけど……
That was my first impression of him when we first met, too.
えへへ、もう違うんですよね。
Heehee. At least he's not lonely any more, though.
フィリップさんって 公爵さんの執事さんですよね。
Phillip is Duke Dunan's butler, isn't he?
ど、どーして《影の王》さんは そんな関係の無い人まで 巻き込んじゃうのかなぁ……
What was the Lord of Phantasma thinking by dragging him into all of this? He's got nothing to do with it...
ふふ、悪くないセンスだと思うわ。
Oh, but if you ask me, they really know how to keep things interesting.
……レン、《影の王》さんのこと 気に入っちゃった。
I've taken a liking to them, to be honest.
早く勝負、してみたいな。
I can't wait to finally get to face them head on.
ふふ、悪くないセンスだと思うわ。
Oh, but if you ask me, they really know how to keep things interesting.
……レン、《影の王》さんのこと 気に入っちゃった。
I've taken a liking to them, to be honest.
早く勝負、してみたいな。
I can't wait to finally get to face them head on.
あはは、単独行動は 謹んで欲しいんやけど……
Juuust don't think of trying to go off on your own, okay?
そ、そうだよレンちゃん……
S-Seriously...
外は危ないんだから、 勝手に一人で進んじゃダメだよ?
That'd be really, really dangerous...
……………………………………
...
......
ほ、本当に危ないんだから……
Trying to proceed on your own would be really, REALLY dangerous, Renne.
レンちゃん、勝手に 先に行っちゃったりしないでよ?
Please don't try and do that...
あ、レンちゃん。 #061Fえへへ、後でお話しようね。
Oh, Renne! Heehee. #061FWe'll have to talk again later.
さっきの続き……
I still want to finish our conversation from earlier.
ふふ、いいわよティータ。
I'd be delighted.
それでね、その子に 名前を付けたんだけど……
So then I decided to give him a name...
ふふ、レンも前に 猫を飼ってたことがあるわよ。
I raised a cat once before, too, you know.
博士はスティールクーガーって 呼んでたけど……
The professor called him a Steel Cougar, if I recall...
そ、それは違うよレンちゃん!
Th-That doesn't sound like the kind of cat I'm thinking of!
あ、レンちゃん!
Oooh, Renne!
ティータ、こんなところで 何をしているの?
What are you doing here, Tita?
うん、ちょっと……
Oh, I was sort of just wandering aimlessly while I was preoccupied.
この前、レンちゃんと一緒に お買い物に行ったでしょ?
Seeing you again made me remember all the fun things we did together before, so I've been thinking about those.
あのときは、きれいな ブローチとか買ったんだよねって 思い出してて……
Like that time we went shopping and bought those really pretty brooches and stuff.
ふふ、そんなこともあったわね。
Heehee. Oh, right.
そういえば……{wait} レンね、この前小さなお店で お揃いのブローチを見つけたわよ。
That reminds me, though...{wait} I found one exactly like them in a tiny little shop a while back.
真ん中の宝石が赤になっているの。
The jewel in the middle was red, though.
……そのお店で、この前買ったのと お揃いのブローチを見つけたのよ。
...But guess what? I found a brooch exactly like the ones we bought a while back there.
真ん中の宝石が赤になっているの。
The jewel in the middle was red, though.
ええっ、いいなぁ……
Aww... You're so lucky.
王都の百貨店だと もう売り切れてたのに……
They were all sold out of those in the shop in Grancel.
はあ、わたしも 赤いのが欲しかったなぁ……
*sigh* I really wanted a red one, too...
それならティータ、 今度2人でどこか遠くの お店に行ってみない?
I know! Why don't we go on a shopping trip together sometime, then? We could go to somewhere reeeally far away.
共和国の東方人街なら 一日中見てたって飽きないのよ。
You'd like the Eastern Quarter in Calvard, that's for sure. You could spend a whole day shopping there and never feel bored.
それならティータ、 今度2人でどこか遠くの お店に行ってみない?

You'd like the Eastern Quarter in Calvard, that's for sure. You could spend a whole day shopping there and never feel bored.
そ、そうなんだぁ……
R-Really?
えへへ、それじゃあ また可愛い小物とか見てみたいな♪
I wonder what kinds of cute accessories they'd have there?
あのね、この前買った ペンダントなんだけど……
Oh, yeah! Let me tell you about the pendant I bought a while back!
(……うーん、 {} 盛り上がってるわね。)
(It looks like they're back to good times in no time.)
レンちゃん、また一緒に お買い物に行こうね。
We'll have to go shopping together again sometime!
……レンは別に構わないわよ。
...Sure. I wouldn't mind.
でもその前に、 この世界から脱出しなきゃ いけないんじゃないの?
But first we're going to have to get out of Phantasma, aren't we?
あ、そうだった……
...Oh, right.
ふ、ふぇぇ……
Wh-What? Really?!
わ、わたしも見てみたいかも……
...I kinda want to see it now.
レンちゃん、いろんなお店に 行ったことあるんだ……
Renne's so lucky to be able to visit all those shops, isn't she?
わ、わたしも行ってみたいなぁ……
I want to go and see more of them, too!
あれっ…… 何かあったんですか?
Huh? Did something happen?
いや、大したことやないねん。
Nothing to worry about, no.
その、私はあんまり 詳しい事情は知らないけど……
Hmm... Okay, so...I'm not really sure on the details of what happened...
でも、これだけは言えるよ。
...but I know one thing for sure.
……今のヨシュア君、 すごく良い顔してる。
You're looking a lot brighter and more positive now, Joshua.
アネラスさん……
Really?
Anelace...
……ありがとうございます。
...Thanks.
Merci beaucoup.
それに…… エステルちゃんもね!
That goes for you, too, Estelle!
あ、あはは……そうかな?
A-Ahaha... Really?
ヨシュア君、一つ大きな壁を 乗り越えられたみたいだね。
You look a lot more positive now, Joshua.
うん、ホント良い顔してる!
I'm so happy for you!
私もあんまり 詳しい事情は知らないけど……
I don't know that much about Joshua and Loewe's relationship, either...
一つ言えるのは…… ヨシュア君、大きな壁を 乗り越えられたんじゃないかな。
...but what happened seems to have gone a long way in helping him move forward, at least. That's a good thing, right?
うーん、私もその辺りの 事情には疎いんですけど……
Well, I'm not really that filled in on the whole thing, to be honest.
レーヴェさんって…… ヨシュア君のお兄さんなんです。
From what I know, Loewe was like a brother to Joshua.
でも、浮遊都市の一件で……
But during what happened on the Liber Ark, he...
レーヴェさんって……
Umm...
Euhhh...
えっと、ヨシュア君の お兄さんなんだよね。
Loewe was basically like a brother to Joshua, right?
うーん、私は 浮遊都市まで行けなかったから 詳しくは知らないんだけど……
I wasn't able to go to the Liber Ark with you guys, so I'm not clued up on all this stuff...
あ、あれっ……!?
H-Huh...?!
みんなどこいっちゃったの!?
Where did everyone go?!
あっ、2人とも そんなところに!
Oh! There you two are!
え、えへへ……
Heehee...
Euhhh...
レンたち、これから お出かけするところなの。
We're off for a while.
お姉さん、 おしゃべりはまた後でね。
We'll talk with you again later, though, okay?
んん~…………
Aww...
じゃあ後で リースさんも一緒に……㈱
Okay, then... But you'll have to come and join us, too, Ries. ㈱
は、はあ…………
O-Oh...
あ、ティータちゃん発見!
Oh!! I spy a Tita!
よし、お姉さんが 抱きしめてあげよう……!
C'mere and give me a cuddle!
え、えへへ……
U-Umm...
Euhhh...
えと、アネラスさん。 ま、また後でお話しましょうね。
I-I've gotta head out now... We'll talk later, though, okay?
あ、レンちゃん発見!
Oh!! I spy a Renne!
うふふ…… レン、これから お出かけするところなの。
Heehee. We're off to explore now.
お姉さん、 おしゃべりはまた後でね。
We can talk again later, though.
ティータちゃんも レンちゃんもいないなんて……
Tita and Renne were here before, too.
うーん、ちょっと ウトウトしてる間に 出かけちゃったか……
I guess they must've wandered off while I was taking a nap here.
うーん、むにゃむにゃ……#20W
Zzz... Mmm...#20W
あははぁ、待ってぇ~……#20W
Ahaha... Wait for meee...#20W
ア、アネラスさん……?
U-Umm... Anelace...?
眠っているみたいですね……
She's fast asleep...
もう、この子ったら こんなとこで寝ちゃって……
*sigh* She really can sleep anywhere, can't she?
何を追いかけてるんや、 アネラスちゃん……
I wonder what she's chasing in that bizarre dream of hers...?
よ、よ~し、つかまえたぁ……
Heehee... I got youuu...
これで私もぬいぐるみ王国に……♪
Now I can go to the Plushy Kingdom, too... ♪
あれ、皆さん。 どうかしたんですか?
Oh, 'sup? Anything wrong?
ああ、それがやね……
Well...
{color 5}ケビンはアネラスに 琥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 Anelace that they thought she was the person the amberl monument's inscription was asking for.
{color 5}Kevin expliqua à Anelace qu'ils pensaient qu'elle était la personne requise par l'inscription sur le monument amberl.
『剣の乙女』って……私が!?
Me? The 'sword-wielding dame'?
Moi ? La « dame maniant l'épée » ?
う、うーん…… そんな大層なものじゃ ないと思うんですけど……
I dunnooo... I mean, it's a cool-sounding title and all, but does it really fit me?
Je sais paaas... Je veux dire, ça sonne bien comme titre et tout ça, mais est-ce que ça me correspond vraiment ?
まあまあ、ものは試しや。
It does if you ask me. But hey, even if you're not sure, it's worth a try, right?
Ouais, si tu veux mon avis. Mais hé, même si t'es pas sûre, ça vaut la peine d'essayer, hein ?
ちょいと付き合ってくれんか?
Do you mind coming with us and giving it a go?
ええ、もちろん、 それは構いませんけど……
You got it.
Ça marche.
準備なら出来ていますし、 いつでも仲間に入れてください。
Off we go, then!
よく分からないですけど、 私が呼ばれてるみたいですねぇ……
I'm still not sure I'm the person that monument wants, but it's worth a try, at least.
一応準備は出来ていますから、 いつでも仲間に入れてください。
So just let me know when you're ready to go back there. I'm ready to go any time.
ま、まさかあんなに 強い人だったなんて……
D-Damn. I didn't think he was going to be that powerful...
うう、何なんですかあの技……
That fancy-schmancy skill of his was just cheating...
本当に剣技なんですかっ!?
How can you even DO that with a sword?!
フィリップさんって、 あの公爵さんの執事の人ですよね。
Phillip was that duke's butler, right?
う、うーん……前にちらっと お見かけしたことはありますけど……
Was he really that strong?
そんなに強い人だったのかぁ……
He didn't really look it when I last saw him.
はあ、私もまだまだ 修行が足りないなぁ……
*sigh* I guess if I couldn't tell his true strength, that means I've got a long way to go.
よし、こうなったら もう一度リシャールさんに 稽古を付けてもらおう。
All right! Time to get Richard to join me for some more training!
リシャールさん、 よろしくお願いしますっ!
Well? Would you be willing to?
ははは……考えておくよ。
Haha... I'll give it some thought.

あっ、壊れた!!
I think her head just exploded.
……アネラスさん、 無理しないでください。
Anelace, you don't need to force yourself to understand how this world works, you know.
……アネラス、あんた 判らないのに無理しなさんな。
Anelace, you don't need to force yourself to understand how this world works, you know.
あっ、アネラスさん……!
A-Anelace! Hang in there!
あかん、壊れてもうた……
I think her head just exploded.
ふふ、レンちゃんも ぬいぐるみが好きだったんだね。
So you like plushies, too, huh, Renne?
よし、後でお姉さんと とことんお話しよう。
We're gonna have to sit and talk about them later, then!
レンちゃんの愛を 確かめさせてもらうよっ!
I need to find out just HOW MUCH.
えっ、レンちゃん ランドモアの限定品の ぬいぐるみ持ってるの!?
What? You've got that really rare Landmore limited edition plushie?
そ、それ私も欲しかったんだぁ……
I really want that one, too! You're so lucky...
(ア、アネラスさん……)
(A-Anelace...)
(あの、アネラスさん……)
(Umm... Anelace...)
(まったく、この子ったら……)
(I swear...)
(ある意味、 {} 一番動じへん人かもしれん……)
(I think she's probably the one least bothered about what's going on here out of all of us...)
ぬいぐるみを出すには 一体どうすれば…………
So what's a girl gotta do to get plushies to pop up out of nowhere?
う~ん…………
Hmm...
う~~~ん…………!!
Hmmmmm...
レンちゃん、後でお姉さんと とことんお話しよう。
So you like plushies, too, huh, Renne?
レンちゃんの愛を 確かめさせてもらうよっ!
We're gonna have to sit and talk about them later, then! I need to find out just HOW MUCH.
わ、私も 狙ってたんだけどなぁ……
I was all set on going to get that one when it came out...
うう、あの日は急にお仕事が入って 買いに行けなかったんだよね……
...but then this major job came in all of a sudden and I couldn't go out and buy it.
……うん、こんなトコかな。
...Okay. That should do for now.
やっぱりたまには 分解して掃除してやらないとね。
It always pays to give your gun a good polish once in a while to keep it in top working condition.
ほら、無茶しすぎなんだって。
Hey, take it easy. Everyone needs to rest from time to time, you know.
とりあえず、 これ飲んで休みなよ……
Come on! Have a drink of this and take a load off.
あっ、ヨシュア……
Oh, Joshua...
あ、あの…………
Umm... Umm...
うん、大丈夫。
I'm fine.
心配してくれて、ありがとう。
Thanks for worrying about me, Josette.
あ、うん…………
O-Oh, right...
導力銃って結構繊細だからさ、 たまには掃除してやんないとね。
Orbal guns are pretty delicate things, so you need to take them apart and give them a good clean once in a while to keep them in top working condition.
もう、姫様のくせに無茶するよね。
I swear, this princess...
こんなに仲間がいるんだから、 1人で調べることないのにさ……
I don't know why she won't just rely on us some instead of trying to investigate by herself.
個人的な意見だが……
While this is just my personal belief, and I will never have a chance to find out if it is right...
ロランス少尉も、 大佐には個人的に感服するものが あったのではないかと思う。
...I can't help but feel that 2nd Lieutenant Lorence may have admired the colonel on a personal level, too.
さしたる根拠は無いのだがな。
I don't have any hard evidence to back up my belief, of course. Just call it instinct.
ロランス少尉も、 ただ情報部を利用していた だけではない気がするんだ。
While there's no doubt that 2nd Lieutenant Lorence used the Intelligence Division, I don't think that was the only reason he served in it.
さしたる根拠は無いが…… 彼は本当の意味で 誠実だったのではないかと思う。
While I don't have any hard evidence to back up my belief, I feel as though he felt a genuine sense of loyalty to the organization, too.
キリカ殿―― 一度会ってみたいと 前から思っていたが……
I had hoped to meet Kilika one day...
よもやあれほどとは……
...but I hadn't expected she would be quite that much of a force to be reckoned with.
キリカ殿といえば、 あの《裏の塔》をたった一人で 踏破したと聞いているが……
I'd heard Kilika was able to make her way through one of the shadow towers alone, so she is clearly a force to be reckoned with.
ふむ……リベールにいる間に 一度会っておきたかったものだな。
I wish I had been able to meet her while she was still in Liberl, to be honest.
しかしあのキリカ殿で ようやく折り返し地点か……
Regardless, at least now we are half way through this plane.
一度我々全員の 戦力を見直した方が いいかもしれないな……
Perhaps now would be a good time to make sure everyone is well trained and battle ready.
……やあユリアさん。
Why, hello, Julia.
帰国の際には随分と 世話になってしまったね。
It's occurred to me that I never did properly thank you for your assistance during my return to Erebonia.
どうだろう、後で一杯 奢らせてもらえないだろうか。
So, what say you? Would you like to accompany me for a drink or two? On me, of course.
は、はあ………………
I... Well... I'm not sure that would be...
……実は先ほどから、 オリヴァルト皇子が一杯奢ろうと お誘いくださっているのだが……
Prince Olivert seems rather insistent on me accompanying him for drinks. I'm not sure what to do...
う、ううむ………やはり お受けした方が良いのだろうか……
P-Perhaps it would be best for me to accept his offer?
またあの皇子ってば……
I swear, that Olivier...
ユリアさん、 気にしない方が良いわよ!
The best thing to do is to ignore him, Julia! Just pretend he doesn't even exist.
とりあえず 断っておいた方が無難ですよ。
I think the best thing to do would be to refuse. In no uncertain terms.
あはは…… え、えっと……
Ahaha... Weeeeeell...
……大尉、どうか 真に受けないでくれ。
Feel free to ignore him, Captain.
コ、コホン……
*cough* The prince aside...
しかしフィリップ殿が 再現されてしまうとは……
...I'm still rather surprised that Phillip was one of those recreated in this world.
願わくば、現実世界で ご指南頂きたかったのだが。
All of this just makes me wish that I could have the chance to learn from him in the real world...
あの女性の霊が リベール王家の始祖 セレスト様であったとは……
I never would have imagined the very ghost who aided us all this time was an ancestor of the Liberlian royal family.
フフ、これは心強い。
Haha. Still, I can hardly imagine a more reassuring revelation.
あの方のお力を借りれば、 《影の王》にも 対抗できるかもしれないな。
I'd like to think that with her help, we may be able to compete against the Lord of Phantasma after all.
まだ状況を楽観視することは できないだろうが……
It's far too soon to be getting optimistic about our odds of success...
あの方のお力を借りれば、 《影の王》にも 対抗できるかもしれない。
...but with Celeste's help, we may be able to compete against the Lord of Phantasma after all.
人の想念を現実化する世界……
It's amazing to think that this world is where people's thoughts become reality...
うーむ、私はまだ 半信半疑なのだが……
Even after all we've seen so far, I still find myself doubting that could even be possible, but it certainly makes sense.
しかしこの事態が《影の王》の 望み通りなのだとしたら……
Still, if we assume that everything that's happened so far has gone according to plan for the Lord of Phantasma...
このままいいように されているわけには行かないな。
...then I think it's about time we started trying to change that, hmm?
うーむ、私はまだ 半信半疑なのだが……
Even after all we've seen so far, I still find myself doubting that what Renne said could even be possible, but I can't deny her logic...
《影の王》の望み……
Still, enough is enough.
そのようなものに、 いいようにされている わけには行かない。
I think the Lord of Phantasma has had things their way for far too long.
リシャール殿の退役の際には、 モルガン将軍もカシウス准将も かなり引き止められたのだ。
Both General Morgan and Brigadier General Bright did their best to stop Richard from leaving the army when he made his decision to do so.
不幸にも間違いを 犯してしまったが、リシャール殿は 非常に優秀な軍人だったからね。
No one denies that he made a mistake, but he was an exceptionally skilled soldier, and the military is worse off without him.
カシウス准将辺りは、 まだ軍に連れ戻そうと 画策しているという噂だ。
I've heard rumors that Brigadier General Bright hasn't given up on bringing him back into the ranks yet, even.
ふふ、カシウスさんらしいですね。
That sounds just like something he would do.
ホントに人使いが荒いんだから……
Yeah... He's never been one for giving people a break.
……また仕事を 押し付ける気みたいですね。
Presumably so that he can offload more of his work onto him.
ホントに人使いが荒いんだから……
Yeah... He's never been one for giving people a break.
うっわー、あの不良オヤジ……
You've got to be kidding me...
ホントに人使いが荒いんだから……
He really doesn't believe in giving people a break, does he?
しかしリシャール殿まで 取り込まれていたとは……
Regardless, I wasn't expecting Richard of all people to end up here...
ふむ…… 『協力者』を取り込むというのが ルールになっているのだろうか。
But he does fit within the rule that only those who have aided us end up in sealing stones.
……ケビン殿が 星杯騎士であるということは 承知していたつもりだが……
I was aware that Father Graham was a member of the Gralsritter...
守護騎士#8R ド ミ ニ オ ン #第五位……
I certainly wasn't aware that he was such a high- ranking member of the group, however.
それほどの人物だったのか……
And one of its most powerful members, at that.
守護騎士#8R ド ミ ニ オ ン #……
I was aware that Father Graham was a member of the Gralsritter...
まさかケビン殿が そうであったとは……
I certainly wasn't aware that he was such a high- ranking member of the group, however.
これで《庭園の主》殿が 仰っていた3つの『修練場』を 制覇したことになるが……
We've now conquered all three of the ordeals that this garden's master mentioned.
次はやはり 《第五星層》なのだろうな。
I presume that means our next destination must be the fifth plane.
一体どんな場所なのか……
I wonder what kind of place that will be.
次はやはり《第五星層》……
I presume that since we've conquered all three of the ordeals here, our next destination will be the fifth plane.
一体どんな場所なのか……
I wonder what kind of place that will be.
ふう、明日は軍司令部で 外せない会議があったのだが……
*sigh* I had an important meeting to attend at military HQ tomorrow, too.
欠席せざるを得ないようだな……
But it looks like I'll have no choice but to miss it.
殿下も少し お休みになられた方が よろしいのでは……?
Should you not rest, Your Highness?
いや、もう今日に なってしまったのだろうか……?
Or is the meeting today, now?
うーん、今一つ 時間の感覚が無いな……
Being in this place truly distorts your sense of time's passing...
もしかすると、もう何日も 経ってしまったのかもしれん……
It's even possible the meeting could've been days ago, thinking about it...
殿下も少し お休みになられた方が よろしいのでは……?
Should you not rest, Your Highness?
これまでの傾向から言っても、 《影の王》は我々について、 かなり調べた上で仕掛けてきている。
It's clear from everything they've said and done so far that our foes have thoroughly researched all of us.
だがリベール以外の地を 再現して見せるとは…………
And yet recreating a place from outside Liberl was certainly not something I expected them to do...
《影の王》…… 一体何者なんだ…………
Just who is the Lord of Phantasma, anyway?
《影の王》は我々について、 かなり調べた上で仕掛けてきている。
We know now that the Lord of Phantasma is challenging us with a significant amount of research on us under their belt.
そしてあの“悪魔”を使役する術……
It doesn't make sense to me. The more they do, the more I can't fathom what it is they want.
《影の王》…… 一体何者なんだ…………
Or who they are...
煉獄の鏡や戦車…… 正に聖典に描かれている通りだな。
It's disturbing to think that we are literally fighting fiends taken from the church's texts...
王都の偽物を造るほどの敵だ。 この程度は芸のうちということか……
Then again, our enemies are capable of making a replica of an entire city. I suppose summoning mirrors and tanks are child's play to them.
私とて大司教の講義を 受けている身、聖典に関しても 無知ではないつもりだが……
Having listened to the archbishop's sermons often, I am fairly familiar with the Testaments...
まさかあのようなものが 出てくるとはな……
I never thought I would one day find myself face to face with some of the monstrosities within them, however.
……どうやら 先が見えたようだな。
It seems like we're finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
散っていった者たちのためにも、 進まなくてはならん。
Now we just need to keep walking towards it. For the sake of everyone we know, including those no longer with us because of the Aureole.
《第七星層》…… この世界の根源とやらを 拝ませてもらおうか。
Let's see what this seventh plane has in store for us, shall we?
……どうやら 先が見えたようだな。
It seems like we're finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
オリビエ、気をつけて進めよ。
Be careful, Olivier.
フッ、もちろんさ兄貴。
Heh. But of course, my love!
……誰が兄貴だ。
And who, exactly, is your love?
……どうやら 先が見えたようだな。
It seems like we're finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
そろそろオリビエのヤツを 引っ張ってくるか……
Perhaps I'd best go and grab Olivier.
あれが道を極めた者か……
So that is how a true master fights...
フッ…… 俺もまだまだのようだな。
Heh. That was a worthwhile reminder of just how much room I still have to improve my own skills.
音に聞こえし《剣聖》の技……
So you were able to test your skills against the famed Cassius Bright, were you?
ふむ…… この目で確かめたかったものだ。
I can't help but wish that I had been able to see him fight up close and personal.
《影の王》め…… 相当な手練を揃えているようだな。
The Lord of Phantasma appears to have some rather capable warriors under his command.
それにしても、 《守護者》2人があれでは……
If that's the strength of the second guardian, I dread to think how powerful the rest will be.
ふう、先が思いやられる……
*sigh* This is going to be quite the challenge.
《影の王》は相当な手練を 揃えているようだな。
The Lord of Phantasma really seems to have some capable warriors under his command.
そういえば、《黒騎士》も 守護者を名乗っていたが……
Come to think of it, that Schwarzritter said that he's one of the guardians, too, yes?
……オリビエ、問題は起こすなよ。
...Olivier, don't go causing any trouble while you're here.
異空間とはいえ、お前の奇行は 国際問題になりかねんからな。
Just because we're not in the real world right now doesn't mean your actions can't cause international problems.
ハッハッハ、心配性だねぇ。
Hahaha! Why must you always be so paranoid about me?
……真面目に聞け。
Because you never take me seriously. Like you're not doing now.
…………このお調子者が。
...You really are a few gears short of a functioning battle orbment.
俺が少しお灸を据えてやろう。
Perhaps you need to be taught a lesson so you don't get any more silly ideas.
……オリビエ、問題は起こすなよ。
...Olivier, don't go causing any trouble while you're here.
異空間とはいえ、お前の奇行は 国際問題になりかねんからな。
Just because we're not in the real world right now doesn't mean your actions can't cause international problems.
……こいつのことは 気にしないでくれ。
Just leave this idiot to me.
俺が責任を持って しつけておくからな。
I'll take responsibility for making sure he behaves--no matter what it takes to do it.
あの《方石》、そのような 曰く付きのものであったか……
I never imagined that would be the origin of the cube we've been reliant on all this time.
これで、何故俺たちが 《影の国#6Rファンタズマ#》に取り込まれて しまったかは説明がつくな。
At least now we understand how we came to be drawn in here...to a degree.
だがそれを実行したのは 《影の王》のようだ。
It seems like the one directly responsible for that happening was the Lord of Phantasma, too.
フン、早く引き摺り 出してやりたいものだが……
Hmph. I can't wait to make them pay for what they've done.
《レクルスの方石》…… これで俺たちが取り込まれて しまった理由は説明がつく。
At least now that we know where the Recluse Cube came from, we've got a relatively good idea how we all ended up here.
……だがそれを実行したのは 《影の王》のようだな。
The one directly responsible for that happening was no doubt the Lord of Phantasma.
早く引き摺り出して やりたいものだが……
Hmph. I can't wait to make them pay for what they've done.
……事態は想像していたより 深刻なのかもしれん。
It seems like the situation we're in is even more severe than I feared.
この世界と『ルール』が 《影の王》によって 作られたものだとすれば……
We've discovered a number of rules that govern this world, all implemented by that Lord of Phantasma...
脱出不可能な空間である 可能性も否定できん。
...but what if they created a rule that dictates we can't actually leave this world?
……唯一の救いは女の霊か。
Our only hope may turn out to be that ghost.
この庭園には、《影の王》の力も 及ばぬようだしな……
Especially given how the Lord of Phantasma's power seems unable to affect the garden.
元・王国軍情報部大佐 アラン・リシャール……
So our latest ally is the former Royal Army officer Colonel Richard, is it?
剣は《剣聖》より継ぎ、 頭脳戦・諜報戦においても 相当のものだと聞いている。
I've heard many great things about his skill in battle and espionage, as well as his intellect.
フッ……敵に回したくない男だ。
Heh. He doesn't sound like the kind of man I would want as an enemy.
元・王国軍情報部大佐 アラン・リシャール……
So our latest ally is the former Royal Army officer Colonel Richard, is it?
味方に付ければ これ以上ない戦力だろうな。
He's not someone I would want as an enemy, but I'll welcome him any day as a powerful ally.
星杯騎士団か……
There was a point when Olivier tried delving into research on the Gralsritter.
オリビエも一時期熱心に 調べていたが、あまり詳しい事は 判らなかったようだ。
He wasn't able to ascertain much in the end no matter how hard he tried, though...
しかしあの力を見せ付けられれば 調べる理由も分かる気がするな。
After seeing for myself what their strongest members are capable of, I can understand why he would want to look into them.
あの“悪魔”を 一瞬で狩る能力……
The ability to slay a devil of that strength in one blow is...unusual, to say the least.
正に異能と呼ぶべきか……
Unnatural, too.
……そういえば オリビエのヤツが見当たらんな。
Where has that fool gotten himself to, anyway?
まったく、 少し目を離すとこれだ……
I swear, I take my eyes off him for one moment...
異空間に取り込まれた時くらい 大人しくできんのか。
You'd think he could at least manage to play the good prince during times of serious crisis like this...
遊撃士協会の施設には遊撃士、か。
So all of the sealing stones in that bracer training area contained bracers in the end.
成る程、様式美#6R ル ー ル #は守るようだな。
That masked jester has thankfully proven to play by their own rules thus far, at least.
…………………………………
...
......
フン…… しばらくは放っておくか。
Hmph. Well, whatever. I'll leave him to his own devices for now.
《方石》も持たずに、 この庭園から出ることも 無かろうしな。
It's not as though he can leave this garden without the cube regardless.
あの仮面の者ども…… いけ好かんがルールは守るようだ。
I may loathe that masked jester, but at least they seem to always play by their own rules, if nothing else.
……そこにつけ入る隙が あればいいのだがな……
I just hope there's some way that we can take advantage of that in order to defeat them.
武装した獣、《獣人》…… これも《影の王》の趣向か。
I take it those armed beastmen we encountered are another reflection of the Lord of Phantasma's unpleasant tastes.
…………くだらんな。
...But whatever. I'm tired of putting up with their ridiculous games at this point.
さっさと次へ進むぞ。
Let's keep pressing on.
《影の王》が何を 企んでいるのか知らんが……
I've got no idea what the Lord of Phantasma is planning...
いつまでもヤツの遊戯に 付き合っているほど暇ではない。
...but I'm tired of having to put up with their ridiculous games at this point.
さっさと次へ進むぞ。
Let's keep pressing on.
……オリビエ、後で顔を貸せ。
...Olivier. I need to talk to you later.
フフ、何だいミュラー君。
Oh, my! My, my, my! Whatever for?
ボクに打ち明けたい 想いでもあるのかな?
Have you finally decided you cannot contain your burning passion for me locked within that rugged heart of yours a moment longer?
たわけ、お前の 身の周りの現状確認だ。
No, idiot. I just need to check up on how you're doing.
取り込まれる 直前のことも含めてな。
As well as how you were doing before we were drawn in here.
……オリビエ、 あまり浮かれるなよ。
Don't go getting too carried away, Olivier.
我々が取り込まれたことで 外の世界ではどうなっているのか……
We must find a way out of here as soon as possible.
……早く脱出法を 見つけ出さなければな。
Who knows what's happening in the outside world while we're in here?
……話を聞く限りでは、どうやら 全員同時に取り込まれたようだな。
It's seeming more and more like we were all drawn in here at the same time.
俺だけ先に取り込まれ、このお調子者が 外の世界で好き放題していたらと思うと 気が気ではなかったが……
...Which is a relief in some ways. If that pitiful THING had been left in the outside world without me to watch it, I shudder to think what would have happened.
……何となく分かる気がします。
I'd come to his defense but...no, I can't blame you.
……失敬だな。
Truly, I am offended.
せいぜい一晩の甘美な宴を 楽しむくらいのものだよ。
At the very worst, I would have thrown a luxurious banquet for all to enjoy.
………………………………
...
......
どうやら我々は全員同時に 取り込まれてしまったようだな。
It's seeming more and more like we were all drawn in here at the same time.
……巻き込まれた者には悪いが、 個人的には不幸中の幸いだ。
Which is a relief, as guilty as I feel to say so.
