警告与说明：没什么情节的纯粹PWP，互攻。设定他们互相认识，是情人关系。

1.浴室

伦敦十二月最后的一天，铅灰色的天空飘着雨夹雪，连空气都是刺骨锥心的冷。Nikolai从摩托车上下来，手指顶了一下冻到没知觉的鼻梁上的墨镜，低头走进他的公寓。开门时他谨慎地再三确认确定没有人跟踪自己，关门随手脱了沾满雨雪的黑色风衣，把皮手套摘下，抖落风衣上面的水珠。寒冷像黏在皮肤上挥之不去的刺青一样刺进皮肤里，在公寓没那么快起作用的暖气中他把全身湿哒哒的衣服一件一件脱掉，丢进盥洗室的洗衣篮，沉默的走进浴室。

莲蓬头的热水劈头盖脸地泼在Nikolai赤裸结实的肉体上，水流沿着小腹渗进已经结痂的伤口，让那道刀疤处的肌肤颜色比其他地方颜色更深一些，他冻到青白的皮肤终于染上一些红色，身上的刺青也不再像一个个死去的图案，水的热��让他重新活了过来。他抬头让热水浇淋他的脸，透明的水流从他下巴上浅浅的沟壑流到凸起的喉结。

浴室的门把手被轻轻拧开，Nikolai警觉地侧过脸，在浴室的一片雾气中不是入侵者的脸，只是那个金发的哥萨克人。Alec举起双臂，嘴角习惯性地微微上扬，淡到几乎是肉粉色的唇间露出一点点上牙，绿色的双眸深处藏着欲望，尽管他的脸毁了一半，但挑眉的表情让他看起来依旧邪恶又性感。

哥萨克人倚着门看了一会浴室中赤裸的强壮身体，他的胸背上的脂肪和肌肉健壮得恰到好处，不细，然而有非常板正适合战斗的腰，像他家乡最好的战士，Alec由衷地评价道：

“这是我今天能看到的最喜欢的风景。”

“……喜欢你看到的吗？还是你只喜欢看着？”Nikolai偏了一下头，黏滞的英语有改不掉的浓重俄国口音，前臂撑在冰凉的瓷砖上，皱眉眯起灰蓝色的眼睛回视哥萨克人，瞟了一眼他把黑色上衣扎在皮带中干练又苗条的腰，邀请他与自己共享一个有充足热水淋浴的浴室。

“当然不止那样。”Alec踏进浴室，从后面搂着Nikolai，前倾的胸口压着俄国人赤裸的背，嗅闻他耳后湿漉漉头发上残留的发胶气味，冰凉的手指抓摸他线条坚硬的脸，嘴唇压在Nikolai被热水温暖了的唇上，舌尖插进Nikolai嘴里触碰他的舌头，给他一个又用力又深长的亲吻，牙齿啃咬他上唇的伤疤，像一个烟瘾者吸二手烟一样吸他舌尖上残留的尼古丁，舌头像一把机枪扫荡着戏弄他的整个口腔，用力到分开的时候Nikolai的嘴唇都是红的，上面全是彼此的唾液。

“你亲起来有雨水的味道，外面好冷，脱了你的衣服，想点办法和我一起暖和起来。”Nikolai单手伸到后面，隔着衣物爱抚Alec的腰，呼吸里有雨水味和Alec身上的葆蝶家同名香水味，他不知道雨水和偏女式脂粉的香气混在一起闻起来可以这么暧昧。Nikolai让他贴得更紧，盲目地寻找Alec的拉链，不轻不重的揉搓他裤链处的凸起，��让他的勃起隔着湿了的西裤压在自己腿根处。

Alec只是笑了一下，并不急着脱衣服，他把热水开到最大，往手里挤了一泵沐浴露，在Nikolai全身漫无目的地擦拭，绵密的吻同时落在他裸体的每一寸，舔出一道道湿痕，像用泡沫清洗他，也更像用嘴清洗他。Alec紧紧把俄国人拥抱在怀里，埋在Nikolai的脖子处亲吻他的肩头，亲他脖子后面烫红的皮肤，吻他背部的肩胛骨，手摸到Nikolai胸口，挤压他的胸肌，拉扯他的乳头，攥着它们让热水冲它们，用泡沫清洁它，直到那里在热水下挺着硬得像两颗小石头一样。Nikolai的阴茎也很硬，笔直地竖起来贴在小腹上，和黑色的耻毛埋在一堆白色的泡沫里，饥渴到没有任何人触碰就冒着透明的前液。

“Alyosha，再做点什么……”Nikolai喉咙里泄出情欲味道的沙哑呻吟，抓紧了Alec滑到他腹部的小臂，引导他摸自己，也无意识的胡乱用腰和臀部拱Alec的西裤，把他拱得更硬。Alec的手伸进他下腹的泡沫里，在打湿的草丛中握住他硬热的坚挺，用大拇指根处的硬茧摩擦他冠顶的边缘，指甲顶进他前端深紫色的裂缝，他衣着完好的下身同时贴着他赤裸裸的下体，勃起隔着布料压着他，这让Nikolai从脊椎处过电一样发抖，半闭着眸靠在Alec的肩上。

“你要我做什么？”Alec贴着他的太阳穴用鼻尖蹭乱他鬓角的银丝，蜂蜜一样的嗓音，灼热的呼吸令俄国人头晕目眩，“把你彻底的洗干净…”他的手像在洗Nikolai的阴茎一样随心所欲地撸弄他，很满意它变得更沉更大的分量，俄国人隐私处的青筋激动地跳动着，也让Nikolai气息都抽紧了，“还是让你更加的肮脏？”全是泡沫的手指顺着Nikolai股间的裂缝滑进去，摩挲他紧缩的穴口，白沫顺着哥萨克人抽动的指节进入他的身体，很滑，Nikolai下意识对他张开腿，白沫随着手指的顶弄流出来，让事前的挑逗像事后的旖旎。

“也许都要，缺一不可……”Nikolai喘息着，他的嘴巴发干，他想回头，急需和Alec在劈头盖脸的热水里接一个又湿又热的吻。但Alec滑了下去，强硬地掰开他，用他同样擅长蛊惑的嘴舔吻他的穴口，伸出粉色的舌头从边缘到深处，一寸一寸，彻底的涮洗和爱抚，把又湿又热的吻留给了他另一张嘴，他吻他的时候他脸上的疤痕会擦蹭他敏感的腿侧，那很粗糙，但他往他身体里钻的舌头像新生的肌肤一样柔嫩，三重快感。Nikolai几乎没法靠双腿体面的��着，脑袋抵着瓷砖，一只手掰开臀瓣，让头顶的热水流进去，也让哥萨克人的舌头操得更深，一只手狼狈地拳握着阴茎，给自己打一个又快又���的手枪，从喉咙里发出断断续续夹杂着粗喘和气音的俄语诅咒。

“说啊，你还想要什么，Kolya?”Alec明知故问，像给手枪拉开保险栓一样屈指挖抠Nikolai内部硬起来的小块肿肉，MI6的前特工总像熟悉任何武器一样，能找到让炮弹顺利发射的绝佳窍门。

“Damn！给我你的枪…给我你的子弹…give me a good fuck，Alyosha…”他揪着他的领子动作粗鲁地把他拉起来，扯开他的裤扣和拉链，西装布料吸了太多的水，不那么好脱。Alec把Nikolai掼到墙上，锁在他怀抱形成的牢笼间狠狠的吻他，松开以后Nikolai转过去把背留给他，从十五岁到现在，无论他的生命经历任何一种境况，他的身体暂时地服务于哪一个组织或者国家，呆在哪一个全是杂种的监狱，被迫在他人面前不着一丝地亵渎哪一个女人，站在哪一群人面前说自己没有父母也没有家，他都像一个固执的树桩，嘴可以撒谎，但心却没有那么容易改变——他仅把自己的背这么毫无保留的给过一个人。

“开枪……”他伏在自己肩头低喘着用俄语说。Alec把自己的裤子草草拉下来，让又湿又重的布料卡在自己大腿上，掐住他的腰深深顶进去，破开那些被沐浴液弄得湿滑紧热的道路，埋在他的肩窝里干他。Nikolai一下收紧了自己，用身体包裹这只灼热的手枪，在炮击一样的持续撞击里咬着自己手背上的刺青承受。

“我弄疼你了吗？Kolya。”Alec讨好地揉搓Nikolai的阴茎，小心不要因为太强的撞击弄裂他腹部缝过针的伤疤，他把他包围得好紧，像一张上好的黑色皮革裹着他，此时此地，温暖，安全，像把自己全然浸泡在冬天的贝加尔湖火热的湖心。他掐握住Nikolai的臀部，边顶弄着边舔吻他肩膀上蜘蛛网状的纹身，闻他脖子上的汗水和麝香味，但觉得自己才是那只网中心的蜘蛛，心甘情愿的呆在他身体组成的蛛网里，他吻他背部的每一座尖顶教堂，操的���作近乎专注而虔诚，又或者Nikolai的身体是那些教堂里的圣像，那些皮肤上的图案是神失去法力的肉身降临在人间所必经的屈辱、艰辛与磨难，一本湿漉漉，冒着热气和汗水的活着的经文。Alec不敢有一丝怠慢，深埋到不舍得抽出来，深深的撞他体内会发出声响的钟楼，把他当做信仰一样投入地膜拜他。空气里又湿又闷热，Nikolai牙齿咬他的手背，身体放纵地迎合他，要Alec操得更深更重一些，Nikolai开始不再抑制的呻吟在肉体的拍打声中越来越没有节制和节奏，身体抽缩得越来越紧绷，紫红色的阴茎在数不清的抽插里硬得石化，龟头从Alec包着Nikolai的手的缝隙中不可克制地喷射出精液，一直很谨慎理智的男人在和他的性爱里被干得丢掉了长久的伪装，这不是考试式的性爱，不是身份或立场的考验，也不代表可以用荡妇或妓女这样侮辱他人格的词去形容他，只是他对他有绝对的坦然，他只让他把他们操得一团糟。

“把你的子弹打进我体内……”Nikolai浑身颤抖着低声央求，过强的高潮让他一股接一股的射出来，他闭上眼睛任由喷射的精液被热水冲稀了打着转漩进地漏里，Alec用火焰一般灼热的吻堵住他的嘴，子弹卡在Nikolai的弹道上，精液毫无阻拦地冲出弹匣，全部倾泻在他身体深处。

2.伤疤与纹身

Nikolai觉得痒。

他睡得很深，在一个属于过去的长长梦里，没有梦到西伯利亚的监狱，没有梦到十几次单独囚禁中的任何一次，没有梦到杀人，或像个黑帮一样熟练地处理尸体，没有梦到各种任务，卧底失败的残酷追杀，以及死。他的身体还年轻，年轻到还没有纹上任何一个纹身，在前苏联俄罗斯边境某个很穷的小村子里生活，没有见过西方世界传闻中的腐化堕落，那时候往西方阵营的国家偷渡还属于很严重的罪，他也从来没有想过长大以后几经辗转到英国，和黑帮扯上拖不干净的关系，而他爸爸为政府工作。

Nikolai有一只不知道从哪里跑来的野生狐狸，也不能说属于他，但在他很小的时候，没有经历过更多变故和世事沧桑的年纪，确实因为曾经获得一只野生狐狸的信任而高兴。

那狐狸的脸很奇怪，下巴尖尖的，橘的和黑的毛分布在同一张脸的两半，让它看起来像两只不同颜色的狐狸强行缝合到一起的一样，一双狡诈的金绿色眼睛，盯着人的表情总像在不怀好意的嘲笑，或者在打坏主意，它像古老的东欧民间传说里不吉利的生物，一个奇异的小怪物。那动物实在因为长得太难看，以至难找得到容忍它的人，Nikolai在村子后面的树林里有时候能看到它猎小型动物，鸟，老鼠，兔子什么的。有时候它会偷村里的主妇厨房里的肉，被膀大腰圆的俄罗斯村妇拿着擀面杖到处撵，村里的酒鬼在晚上看到它冲它扔酒瓶子，老人看到它冲它诅咒和吐口水。

这里是这只动物的故乡，但它的故乡却并不欢迎它。

有一次，那个奇怪的狐狸出现在他家院子里，偷他们挂在架子上的熏肠，它的腿有血，大概被什么东西夹到了，见到Nikolai一瘸一拐的想跑，以为他要打它，Nikolai没有揍它，偷偷把熏肠切了一根远远的丢给它，但狐狸并不靠近，甚至消失在视线范围内。等了很久，Nikolai以为这只狐狸放弃了它的熏肠，直到下午那根熏肠才不见了，不知道是不是别的野猫野狗叼走了。一个月后他的后院门口里多了只松鼠尸体，因为差点一脚踩到一只死动物，把他妈妈吓得大叫。Nikolai看到那只怪狐狸在很远的小坡上看他，好像要告诉它这是它还给它的人情，这以后Nikolai会给它一些吃的，一开始狐狸很戒备，从不让他靠得太近，逐渐的，狐狸允许他伸手摸它的皮毛，像抱一只狗一样把它抱在怀里，对于Nikolai而言，他知道他不该轻易多次喂一只野生动物，让它对那些人类产生非自然进化的期待，但和一只从不被接纳的野生动物建立情感联系信任感的感觉从未那么好。狐狸毛茸茸的大尾巴圈着他的手，会在Nikolai摸它的时候用舌头舔他的脸，它看起来依然像一只不漂亮的反派狐狸，但它的舌头真的很可爱………它舔自己的时候，让尼科莱觉得很痒，狐狸尖尖的怪脸变成Alec的脸，Alec的体重沉沉的压在他身上，在他嘴唇上用舌尖游走，舔他唇峰的伤疤，漫长的索吻。

“Alyosha……你在干什么？”Nikolai带着惺忪的睡意嘟囔，他意识到自己光着身子，但Alce和他同床共枕或者和他做爱的时候总喜欢穿着衣服。

除非是关灯了靠天光，他见到他裸体的次数总是屈指可数。这么男子气概的一个人，走路从来都是像个职业军人一样高傲地板直腰，即便现在毁了半张脸，他依然看起来惊人的英俊，MI6曾经的训练让他无论穿西服还是穿着修身衬衣的时候，举手投足都风度翩翩，他那双冰冷的绿眼中混合一丝不羁的野性，半个伦敦的女人都为他沉迷，但即便是私下里，他也很少直接在他面前脱衣服。Nikolai把手探进Alec的丝绸睡衣里，摸他的脖子和背。

“品尝你……你尝起来……”Alec享受他的抚摸，停顿了一下，“像个草莓。”

“bullshit，”Nikolai眼睛附近皱起细碎的笑纹，“我全身没有一个地方尝起来会像草莓……”他刚醒，嘴巴里的味道尝起来不会太好。

“Nah，你有。”Alec用拇指和食指微微抬起他的下巴，指腹轻轻压着他下巴上的小窝，他舔Nikolai下巴上的酒窝，嘴唇轻轻吸它，好像那里盛满了草莓酿的酒。“让我找找，你的草莓藏在哪……”

Nikolai在Alec唇齿绵延的攻击下轻轻喘气，Alec用亲吻在他脖子上盖章，从脖子开始，用嘴唇一个一个探寻他全身的纹身，金色的碎发弄得Nikolai很痒。

故意忽略所有更敏感的器官，他亲他的锁骨，肩膀上的两颗星星，亲他的腋窝上的毛发，亲吻他右前臂上黑乌鸦纹身的眼睛，哥萨克人晨勃的阴茎在亲吻他时会隔着丝绸布料提醒Nikolai它的存在。

“Kolya，告诉我这些纹身的故事…”

Nikolai一生真假参半的故事都纹在这些黑色的图案里，这是黑帮成员们永远不会有机会进入任何一个历史博物馆的传奇史书，但这些文书书写在人的皮肤上，就像人们不会喜欢Nikolai露齿的冷笑，人们也不会喜欢这些让人不安的纹身，而这些纹身让每一个可以读懂的俄罗斯帮派成员敬畏他的冷血与残酷。Alec要Nikolai解释他嘴唇所到每一个图案的意义。

“死亡还未拥有我。”

“但是我拥有你，对吗？”Alec笑了，压着Nikolai的大腿和他蹭了一下，嘴角勾起的笑带着一点点势在必得的得意。

“是的，你拥有我。”Nikolai眨了下眼睛，情不自禁回答。

“继续告诉我，我要知道你更多的故事……”他舔他右前臂上蛇纹身的鳞片，偏着脑袋看Nikolai，用牙齿含那把匕首的图案。

Nikolai的下腹都随之抽紧，阴茎随之弹跳一下，变得很硬，好像Alec的舌头才是那条在刀锋上挑衅的毒蛇，紧紧缠着他下腹肉做的匕首。

“我们奋斗而活…”他的呼吸都变得粗急，俄语染上鼻音。

Alec转而亲他胸口中央的十字架，用舌尖去读他胸口下面的一行文字，吸上面每一个俄文字母，继续询问Nikolai那些纹身和文字都是什么意思。

“让我生活的一切都是一场梦吧。”Nikolai喘息着艰难回答，腰部微微抬离床垫一寸。

他的美梦近在眼前，就在和Alec呆着的这一小块床垫上。

比起往日诸多的噩梦，他更希望现下当前是一场永不醒来的天堂美梦。

Alec的唇落到他右边腹部拿着镰刀的死神上，Nikolai第一次抬手制止他，对着Alec不解的眼神，Nikolai自嘲地解释。

“这代表…我是个凶手。”

一个一半在光亮中，一半在阴影里的犹大。

在他内心深处，他恐惧的是阴影里凶手的那一面逐渐完全取代他。

“你是个圣人……”Alec像想到了什么，修长的手指叉进Nikolai的手指里，合握住他的手紧扣在床单上，转而亲吻他左边腹部上双手合十的圣母像，认真的说，Nikolai比他认识的许多人要更好，另一个真正的犹大轮流着亲吻他肚子上并列的画像，却没有任何嘲笑的成分。

他握住Nikolai的阴茎把它含进嘴里，初初只是尝试性地舔他的顶端，然后全部吞进喉咙里吮吸他，Nikolai的腰从床单里弹起来往上顶，脚趾卷曲，手指插进Alec的头发里把他按得更深。Alec含住他硬热的睾丸，在上面留下两排清晰的齿痕，像两个小小的月牙，他用指头摸这些牙印，把自己半撑起来，压住Nikolai交叉的手腕笼罩在他身上。欣赏身下的Nikolai，他美如一张摊开的地图，躺在他身下，头发凌乱，身上冒着汗珠，肌肉随着每一次呼吸颤抖，竖起来的阴茎上是他的唾液，所有的纹身上都有他的吻痕，那些吻痕串成解密的线路，引导Alec彻底的驻扎在他心底。

“Kolya，我喜欢你的纹身，总有一天，我希望…我能和你分享一切…”他摸他毛茸茸睾丸上的齿印，“而这里，能有我亲手纹上的“我的月亮”。”

Nikolai几乎要为他这句露骨的暗示和隐晦的告白而呻吟，他把Alec拉进怀里，不顾他嘴里有自己阴茎的味道重重的吻他，和他亲吻到像两块融在一起的糖块一样。

“Alyosha…我想操你……”Nikolai爱抚Alec被自己吻肿的嘴唇，眼睛里有藏不住的汹涌情潮，至深的男性欲望。

“这当然好，”Alec握住他的拳头，吻教皇的手一样去亲吻指背上的字母，啄吻他的指尖，把Nikolai的手指一根根含湿，将那些手指带到自己睡衣的腿根下，尽量放松了一点点含进去。“我喜欢你操我……Fuck me please，kolya……”

Nikolai下意识的伸手去脱Alce的丝绸睡衣，但是Alce阻止了他。

“相信我，脱掉了衣服，你会觉得很扫兴……”他苦笑着跨坐到Nikolai身上，抬腰撩起来一点睡衣的下摆，闷哼着���缓坐下将他的阴茎吃进体内。

“啊…”Alec因为Nikolai这个角度的顶入插到了令他舒适的地方，抬起下巴发出一声声线挑高的短叫，他低头压着Nikolai肩膀喘气，但很快适应过来，像找掌控权一样开始轻轻摆腰摇晃自己，拉Nikolai的手去抚摸自己好的那半张脸。“除了脸，我身上其他地方你不会那么想看……”

Alec曾经的诸多床伴夸赞他的身体，说他摸起来就像丝绸一样光滑，因为那该死的六分钟爆炸被改成了三分钟，他身上的烧伤很严重，现在彻底的失去了这个本钱。他故意用还完好的侧脸对着身下的情人，好让自己显得不那么难看。

“求你了…”Nikolai扭过Alce的脸，亲吻他脸上的伤疤，穿进丝绸睡衣抚摸他身上早就愈合的狰狞伤口。他把自己微微抽出来再继续顶进去，舌尖插进Alec有疤痕那边脸的耳孔，吻他睡衣领口露出来的一点疤痕，同时下半身又温柔，又强势的，用力撞他体内的敏感点。

“Kolya…不……”他在他身上被顶到张着嘴除了喘气发不出声音，但依然做最后的抗拒。

Nikolai抽掉Alec睡衣的腰带，薄薄的织物滑到他手肘上，他大张着肌肉紧实的腿，跨坐在Nikolai身上，全身一丝不挂，Alec看起来像用两个身体拼在一起的一样糟糕，像他那个美好的梦里两个颜色的野狐狸，从脖子到小腿，布满了烧伤，糟糕的那一大半上面能看出做了多次植皮手术的痕迹，却依旧疤痕累累，留下了永久性的伤疤。人工强行缝合的Janus，两个阵营对抗下铸就的双面神。

“Kolya…别看……”太丑陋了，自从爆炸过后，他就很少看全身镜中赤裸的自己。

他异常的恐惧，在他发现他的丑陋之后，转身就把他抛弃。

就像那些英国人，像那些俄国人，像MI6，像某个曾经和他共享一切的人，通通都不要他。

但Nikolai看他眼神没有施舍的怜悯或者嫌弃，“My golden man…Alyosha…”相反，他低声呢喃着抱紧他，怜爱的舔吻他过去的疤痕，更执坳的把自己全根送进他身体里。

他有过许许多多的名字，真的，假的，各种各样的任务代号：Alec Trevelyan，006特工，Janus……但只会有一个人会叫他本来的名字，叫他Alyosha。

Alec在他怀里被操到发抖，抱着Nikolai的脖子，酸软的腰慵懒地起落，被顶到双腿颤抖地交缠在Nikolai腰上，被顶到阴茎和他体内的一样硬。他们汗水淋漓的身体像连体婴一样贴在一起，额头贴着额头，鼻尖贴着鼻尖，Alec体温那么高，让Nikolai错觉他快要烧起来了，Nikolai闻得到热情的火焰的味道，汗的味道，燃烧起来的味道，精液的味道，在Alec高潮的低喊里，他咬着牙埋在他内部射精，Alec星星点点熔浆一样的精液溅到他身上，他觉得他身上的纹身都热到开始融化，晕开的黑色墨水和Alce皮肤上的伤疤融为一体。

“我很高兴我们还在一起。”Alce和他面对面躺在一起，突然说。

Nikolai握着他的手，吻他掌心。

“я тебя люблю(我爱你)，Alyosha，我将与你同行，一直。”

Alice 笑了，把额头碰到Nikolai的额头上，

“СНовымгодом！(新年快乐)Kolya。”

野沢裕「山脈」 2023.7.15（Sat）― 8.13（Sun）

void+では野沢裕の個展、「山脈」を7月15日（土）から開催いたします。

野沢は東京造形大学の絵画専攻卒業後、東京藝術大学大学院にて絵画専攻修了し、その後スペインのマドリッドにあるIED（Istituto Europeo di Design）にて写真を学びました。野沢の作品は絵画、写真、映像、さらには自身で制作した印刷物など、様々なメディアを横断しながら日常の風景に潜む非常の風景をモチーフに作品を制作しています。日々の何気ない風景に少しユーモラスな仕掛けを重ねることで現れる小さな気づきにフォーカスを当てた作品です。

本展では作家が住む静岡の納屋から見える風景に触発された新作を発表します。

映像インスタレーションでは、中央部が切り開かれ納屋の窓枠に張られてあった画布をギャラリーに持ち込み、カーテンのように揺れ動く開口部から垣間見える山々の景色を再現します。青々と生い茂る山のシルエットをなぞるように揺れる布の映像が、空間の中でかすかに揺れる布に重ね合わされ投影されます。

また、35mmフィルムの原寸にプリントされたモノクロ写真が連なるコラージュ作品は、山の写真と納屋に掛けられたカーテンの写真が互い違いに並べられ、現実にはないイメージの稜線を作り出します。

本展は8月13日（日）までとなりますが8月11〜13日のクロージング3日間は、void+エントランス軒下にあるスペース「eaves」と駐車場において、アーティストの冨樫達彦によるアイスクリームスタンドが出店し、第8回目となるPOP-UP “ARTIST RUNNING” #8 Joel Kirkham by Goya Curtainも同時開催いたします。

皆さまこの機会にどうぞお越しくださいませ。

ーーーーーーーーーーーーー 山脈 野沢裕

朝起きると近くの川辺まで歩いていき『たからもの』だという小石を拾って帰ってくる。 数時間で宝物としての効力が消えるその小石は庭の端に集められ『たからもの』の山になっている。

連なる山々を横目に、行きは海の方向へ車を走らせ、帰りは山を目がけて帰ってくる。 家へと通じる道は1本しかない。 変わらないはずの景色が、その日だけの形に見えている。 ある時、見えている山の稜線は山のそれではなく空の稜線に見えた。車の速度でゆっくりと動くその空は緩やかな風に吹かれるカーテンに見えた。

山に向かって車を走らせていたつもりが、少し窮屈な椅子に座りながら風に揺れる麻のカーテンを眺めていた。

#成就解鎖 之 亞媽我得咗喇唱歌唱到上財經版(同日有Chef Le’Mon同腦細個夫人)。因為兩年前同麥導決定做 #SLASH 呢個計劃，令我哋有機會响唔同範疇嘅媒體內分享我哋嘅斜槓人生。今次首先要好多謝 #蘋果日報 記者Wendy，做咗呢篇非常有內容同正面嘅人物專訪，但當��click入留言時，就見到差不多一面倒嘅負面評論，包括：一事無成、虛耗地球資源、衰過執紙皮亞婆、老實考個保安牌做管理員好過、而家覺得好型老來乜都冇、冇生產力嘅流動廢物⋯⋯我想講，對於唔了解唔明白我做緊乜嘅評論，我都會笑下就算，不過今次同時令我感到好傷心嘅係，香港變成一個被咁多怨氣同咁資本主義大晒嘅「大人」每日指罵嘅地方，我開始明白點解我去做school tour時問同學仔有乜夢想時佢哋一係答唔出(又可能係唔敢答)，一係直接答冇。any肥，作為DumbYouth family嘅船員之一，我都係會繼續行我嘅路同繼續鼓勵大家愚蠢、瘋狂追夢。我覺得世界上最浪漫同幸福嘅就係可以用自己雙手為自己目標努力，不斷學習同成長，堅持，快樂咁活每一日。學楚原叔話齋：「不因碌碌無能而悔恨，不為虛度年華而羞恥」先最緊要。 原文：https://hk.finance.appledaily.com/finance/realtime/article/20180424/58109166 場地贊助： #狗毛3 on wallis : full set by @octo_gambol #CommonLoser #hkDumbJoker #斜槓青年 #窮忙族長 #曹震豪 #WallisCho

一花一剑 - A Flower, A Sword

Lyric video here

Xian Le’s precious many-hued crystals reflect the scenes of a golden age: A young man in white descends like a bird in flight, diving against the wind, in the turbulence, blossoms fall, a star of ill-omen mirrored in the jade mask, ancient teachings swept aside. A flash, and gone. Naught but a glimpse, a glint of light.

In the depths of the unfathomable night, countless ominous green eyes hide. Silver butterflies dance, glimmering as if with the light of distant stars. Instantly on wild paths of remote mountains following that sound, seeking that figure - radiant in the clear moonlight; he knows a harsh winter approaches yet journeys alone.

A thought for the blooming tree’s lingering fragrance, a thought led by the sword’s slash, gently holding a peach blossom branch at the Heavenly Hall; thunder rolls, lightning flashes. Time races forward like the white steed that leaps by a creek. Things change, the stars shift. Deliver them from suffering - a flower, a sword, a wish, for fortune to grace the mortal realm.

They say at Taicang Mountain, unearthing traces of the ancient kingdom seems unlikely: The walls are rubble, buildings dirt, the city so much sand and wind and gravel. Prosperity eradicated, ravaged by the human-faced plague, war left it a scene of desolation. Peeling back the layers only to find more mystery, The Nameless glows ever brighter green.

A thought for the blooming tree’s billowing ink-dark clouds, sudden rain washing flowers clean. Time within the ember flows on, rushing towards the peach blossom paradise. The heavy fog and looming clouds gradually receded. The unblemished bright sky it leaves, still pales in comparison to a flower, a sword, a person and his bamboo hat in the rain.

Heart with the blooming tree, and even more, my dearest, watching for a message from afar. Let the world laugh at me, lighting lanterns in the mountains for a wish. Towards the past that has never been spoken of, when the world was thriving and beautiful. With flames of hell burnt out at last, what’s left is: a flower, a sword, a lifetime to walk together.

Through heaven and earth we walk; may our shadows be paired, one never without the other.

仙乐琉璃，映流芳盛世光景 白衣少年，如飞鸟逆空降临 风卷花落，玉面似镜照孤星 拂古训，一闪，浮光掠影

暗夜深邃，藏多少幽绿眼睛 银蝶蹁跹，宛如迢迢连天星 须臾间挟荒山野径，循声觅影 月华粼粼流照君，纵履霜亦孤行

一念花树绕香云，一念随剑影 轻拈桃花向仙庭，电闪惊雷鸣 且使白驹撵过隙，物换星移 济苍生，一花一剑一愿人间幸

听闻太苍山，难复故国踪迹 断壁连残垣，城池飞沙扬砾 繁华覆灭人面成疫，战火疮痍 抽丝剥茧一身谜，无名却耀青荧

一念花树吹墨云，骤雨素花净 时间琥珀中流幻，赴桃源之境 雾沉云暝渐敛却，浮尘晴霁 抵不过，一花一剑一人雨中笠

留恋花树亦怜君，伫望候远信 任凡尘俗世笑我，山间祈长明 去向未言说曾经，繁花似锦 业火尽，一花一剑一世与君行

穿行于天地间，惟愿逐一双影

MDZS Novel Translation: Lotus Pod Extra Part 1 (Chinese, English, plus translator ramblings)

General notes: MXTX’s use of commas annoy me so much. I ended up breaking up really long sentences into smaller ones for 1) my own sanity, 2) my sense of sentence structure, and 3) aesthetics. Probably grammar too… but i’m pretty bad at grammar so idk.  So you’ll see chinese followed by the translation. then notes in brackets if there are any... hope it’s easy to follow? i went through and tried to format them differently too... You can also just go read the english only version if you want... it’s in another post. i can link it in the comments. 

as per the other post, thank @merelhyn an her rabid love of this extra for me translating it. hahaha! also, she did a once-over before i posted and caught some mistakes of mine. :D 

Keep reading if you want and lmk what you think. ^_^ Feel free to ask me questions or yell at me about places where i can improve. Discourse is good for learning! 

云梦莲花坞。

Yunmeng Lotus Pier. 

试剑堂外, 夏蝉鸣噪；试剑堂内，一片肉体陈横、不堪入目。

Outside ShiJianTang (Sword Testing Hall) were the summer cicadas’ noisy calls; inside ShiJianTang was the unbearable sight of bodies strewn across the ground.

十几名少年打着赤膊, 一片片贴在试剑堂内的木板地上, 时不时翻个身，仿佛十几片烤得滋滋作响的煎饼，发出垂死的咕哝。

Over a dozen youths with bare chests stuck themselves onto ShiJianTang’s hardwood floor, periodically flipping themselves over, as if they were over a dozen sizzling JianBing (Fried Bread), letting out mutterings of the dying.

[Note: technically it says bare arms, but with their hanfu, if the arms are bare, so are the chests so I’m translating it that way to make it make more sense.]

“热……”

“Hot……”

“死了……”

“Dead…… ”

魏无羡眯着眼，迷迷糊糊心道：“像云深不知处那么凉快就好了。”

Wei Wuxian thought blearily to himself with barely open eyes, “If only it could be as cool here as it is in Cloud Recesses.”

身下那片木板又被体温同化了, 于是他翻了个身。恰巧, 江澄也翻了个身，两人擦了个边, 胳膊搭着了腿, 魏无羡立刻道：“江澄，把你胳膊拿开, 你像块炭。”

The hardwood flooring under him was once again warmed by his body heat, so he flipped over. Coincidentally, Jiang Cheng also flipped over, the two brushed against each other, arm and leg making contact. Wei Wuxian immediately said, “Jiang Cheng, move your arm, you’re as hot as a coal.” 

江澄道：“你腿拿开。”

Jiang Cheng said, “You move your leg.”

魏无羡道：“胳膊比腿轻, 我拿腿更吃力, 还是你拿胳膊吧。”

Wei Wuxian said, “Arms are lighter than legs, me moving my leg takes more effort. It’s better for you to move your arm.”

江澄怒了：“魏无羡我警告你不要太过分, 闭嘴不要说话, 越说越热！”

Jiang Cheng became angry: “Wei Wuxian, I’m warning you to not go overboard. Shut your mouth and don’t speak. The more you talk, the hotter it gets!”

六师弟道：“你们不要吵了行不行, 我听你们吵都觉得好热, 汗都流得更快了。”

Sixth-shidi (younger male disciple) said: “Can you two not argue? Just listening to you argue makes me hotter. I’m sweating even more now.”

那边已经一掌劈来、一脚蹬去了：“快滚！”“你滚！”“不不不, 你请滚！”“别客气, 你先滚！”

Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian already started fighting -- a palm strike here, a kick there: “Hurry up and piss off!” “You piss off!” “No no no, please, piss off!” “Don’t be so polite, you piss off first.”

众师弟怨声载道：“要打出去打！”“你们一起滚了好不好啊求求你们！”

All the younger disciples complained in unison: “Take the fight outside!” “You two can both go piss off. We’re begging you!”

魏无羡道：“听到没有, 大家让你出去。你……放开我腿，要断了大哥！”

Wei Wuxian said, “Did you hear that, everyone is asking you to leave. You… let go of my leg, it’s going to break, Da-ge!” 

[note: the use of da-ge here is like when you ask someone to cry uncle. Wwx is crying for mercy.]

江澄额头青筋暴起, 道：“明明是让你出去……你先松开我胳膊！”

A vein on Jiang Cheng’s forehead popped up. “Clearly they’re telling you to leave…. Let go of my arm first!”

这时，外边的木廊上传来一阵裙·摆曳地的沙沙响动，两人顿时闪电一般分开。旋即，竹帘被掀起，江厌离探头往里瞄一瞄，道：“呀，原来你们都躲在这里。”

At this time, from the wooden corridor outside came the sound of a skirt rustling over the floor. The two immediately parted like lightning. Soon, the bamboo curtains parted, Jiang Yanli stuck her head in, glanced around, and said, “Aah, so you’re all hiding here.”

众人连声道：“师姐！”“师姐好。”有容易害臊的忍不住双手交叠遮胸，躲到角落里去了。

Everyone said in unison: “Shijie!” “Hi Shijie!” The ones who became embarrassed easily couldn't help but cross their arms over their chests and hide into a corner. 

江厌离道：“今天怎么偷懒不练剑啦？”

Jian Yanli asked: “Why are you all being lazy today and not practicing your swords?” 

[Note: being lazy here is made up of the characters “steal” and “lazy”. It implies shirking responsibilities to be lazy. JYL is likely saying this to tease the boys. Also, there isn’t a subject in the sentence. The you is implied but that doesn’t work in english so i added “you all” to indicate plural you.]

魏无羡诉苦道：“这么毒的日头，校场晒死了，去练剑要脱一层皮。师姐不要告诉别人。”

Wei Wuxian complained, “Such a treacherous day, the sun shining over the practice grounds would kill us, practicing swords would make us shed a layer of skin. Shijie, don’t tell other people.” 

[Note: 毒 means poison/toxin but i feel like it would be weird to describe a day as such. You can also say someone is very 毒 and it would mean cruel/malicious. Somehow that didn’t work well in my head either… so i went with treacherous. Translator’s artistic license, ok?]

江厌离仔细端详了他和江澄一下，道：“你们两个是不是又打架啦？”

Jiang Yanli carefully assessed him and Jiang Cheng and asked, “Did you two get into another fight?”

魏无羡道：“没有哇！”

Wei Wuxian said, “We didn’t!”

江厌离的身子也钻进来了，她端着一盘东西道：“那阿澄胸口的脚印是谁踹的？”

Jiang Yanli stepped into the room carrying a plate and asked, “Then who kicked the footprint onto A-Cheng’s chest?”

魏无羡一听留下罪证了，连忙去看，果然有。可已经没人在意他俩有没有打架了，江厌离手上端的是一大盘切好的西瓜，一群少年蜂拥而上，三两下便分完了，坐在地上相对啃瓜。不一会儿，瓜皮就在盘子里堆成了个小半山。

Wei Wuxian, upon hearing he left evidence, turned to look -- it was really there. But no one cared whether the two of them fought anymore for Jiang Yanli had brought a large plate of watermelon slices. The group of youths swarmed in, quickly divided the melon between them, and sat down on the floor to gnaw on the melon. Not long later, the melon rinds piled into a small hill on the plate. 

魏无羡和江澄无论干什么都是要比一比的，吃个西瓜也不例外，横刀夺瓜，损招不断，斗得旁人避之不及，连忙给他们腾出了一块空地。魏无羡一开始吃得还卖力，吃着吃着，忽然“噗”地笑了一声。

No matter what Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng did, they would end up competing. Eating watermelon was no exception. Slashing to seize the melon -- an endless volley of moves between the two made others hurry to avoid them and scramble out of the way, leaving an empty space. At first, Wei Wuxian was wholeheartedly eating watermelon, but as he ate, a chuckle suddenly burst from his lips. 

[Note: 横刀夺瓜，损招不断 was a weird thing to translate. By character: 横 horizontal 刀 blade 夺 sieze 瓜 melon，损 damaging 招 move/blow 不 not 断 broken. Alternate translation because I really can’t decide: Crossing blades to seize the melon, trading endless blows. Because 招 is a weapon neutral wuxia unit of a martial movement and i honestly have i no idea how to translate it!]

江澄警觉地道：“你又想干什么。”

Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously: “What are you thinking about doing now?”

魏无羡又拿了一块，道：“没！你不要误会。我没想干什么，我就是想起了一个人。”

Wei Wuxian grabbed another piece of melon and said: “Nothing! Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t think about doing something, I just thought of a person.”

江澄道：“谁？”

Jiang Cheng asked: “Who?”

魏无羡道：“蓝湛。”

Wei Wuxian said: “Lan Zhan”

江澄道：“你没事想他干什么，想念罚抄的滋味不成？”

Jiang Cheng asked: “Why are you thinking about him? Do you miss the feeling of being forced to copy lines as punishment?” 

[Note: 没事 is no business but in context it means when you have no reason to. So maybe the line can be translated as Why are you thinking about him without cause? But that’s not very colloquial in english even if it is in chinese so I cut it.]

魏无羡吐籽，道：“想他好玩儿呗。你不知道，他可有意思了。我跟他说，你们家的饭菜太难吃了，我宁愿吃炒西瓜皮也不愿吃你家的饭，你有空到我们莲花坞来玩啊……”

Wei Wuxian spat out some seeds and said, “I’m thinking about how much fun he is. You have know idea, he’s so interesting. I said to him, your family’s food is not delicious at all, I would rather eat sauteed watermelon rind than eat your family’s food, you should come visit Lotus Pier when you have time…... ” 

话音未落，江澄一掌拍歪他的瓜：“你疯了叫他来莲花坞，给自己找罪受吗？”

Before the sound of Wei Wuxian’s words ended, Jiang Cheng slapped his watermelon askew: “You’re crazy inviting him to Lotus Pier, are you trying to make yourself suffer?”

魏无羡道：“你急什么，我瓜都差点飞了！我就说说而已，他当然不会来了，你啥时候听说他自己一个人跑出去玩儿过没有。”

Wei Wuxian said, “Why are you so anxious, my melon almost went flying! I was just saying that. Obviously he would not come. When have you ever heard of him going somewhere on his own for fun?”

江澄义正辞严道：“先说好，我反正拒绝他来，你不要乱请。”

Jiang Cheng spoke sternly, with a sense of righteousness, “Just so we’re clear: I will refuse his visit no matter what, don’t invite him willy nilly.” 

[先说好 means to agree upon beforehand, so i think “just so we’re clear” is a reasonable colloquial translation of the sentiment.]

魏无羡道：“没看出来你这么讨厌他��？”

Wei Wuxian said, “I couldn’t tell you dislike him so!”

江澄道：“我对蓝忘机没意见，可万一他真的来了，我娘看了别人家的孩子要是有话说，到时候你也别想好过。”

Jiang Cheng responded: “I don’t have an issue with Lan Wangji, but if he were to really come, my mother might have something to say about other people’s children, and then you wouldn’t have a good time.”

魏无羡道：“没事，来了也不怕，真要是来了，你就跟江叔叔说让他跟我睡，我保证不出一个月就能把他逼疯。”

Wei Wuxian said, “No biggie, even if he showed up, I’m not scared. IF he really came, you can just tell Uncle Jiang to let him sleep in my room. I promise I’ll drive him insane in less than a week. ”

江澄嗤之以鼻：“你还想跟他睡一个月？我看不出七天你就被他捅死了。”

Jiang Cheng snorted, “You want him to stay with you for a month? I think he’ll stab you to death in less than seven days.”

魏无羡不以为然道：“怕他嘛。真要打起来他还不一定是我对手呢。”

Wei Wuxian retorted, “Who’s scared of him? If we really fight it’s not certain he would be an even match for me!”

众人连连附和起哄，江澄口里讥笑他厚颜，但心里其实知道魏无羡所言不假，并非自吹自擂。江厌离坐到两人中间，道：“你们在说谁呀？姑苏交到的朋友么？”

Everyone cheered and hollered at Wei Wuxian’s statement. Jiang Cheng sneered at Wei Wuxian’s thick skin but in his heart, he knew Wei Wuxian’s words were true and not mere boasts. Jiang Yanli sat between and asked, “Who are you talking about? Is it a friend you made at Gusu?”

魏无羡高兴地道：“是啊！”

Wei Wuxian said happily, “It is!”

江澄道：“你这‘朋友’当得太好意思了。你去问蓝忘机，看他肯不肯要你。”

Jiang Cheng said, “You claim ‘friend’ so easily. You should go ask Lan Wangji, see if he is willing to claim you.”

魏无羡道：“快滚。他不要我我缠死他，看他肯不肯。”转头对江厌离道，“师姐，你知道蓝忘机吗？”

Wei Wuxian said, “Piss off. If he doesn’t want me, I’ll just cling to him. See if he’s willing or not in the end.” Wei Wuxian then turns to Jiang Yanli, “Shijie, do you know of Lan Wangji?”

江厌离道：“知道呀，就是大家都说很俊很有本事的那位小蓝二公子吗？果真很俊么？”

Jiang Yanli said, “I do know of him. Isn’t he the young second young master of Lan that everyone says is very handsome and very talented? Is he really so handsome?”

魏无羡道：“很俊的！”

Wei Wuxian said, “Very handsome!”

江厌离道：“比你呢？”

Jiang Yanli asked, “Compared to you?”

魏无羡想了想，道：“可能稍微比我俊一点点吧。”

Wei Wuxian pondered for a bit before saying, “Maybe the tiniest bit more handsome than me.”

他两只手指比了很小很小的一段距离。江厌离一边收盘子，一边莞尔道：“那看来是真的很俊了。交到新朋友是好事，今后没事的时候你们可以互相串门玩了。”

He held up two fingers separated by the slightest amount. Jiang Yanli smiled as she gathered the plate, “Looks like he must really be handsome. Making new friends is a good thing. When you have time in the future, the two of you can visit each other for fun.”

闻言，江澄喷瓜，魏无羡连连摆手：“罢了罢了。他们家那地方，饭又难吃规矩又多，我可不去了。”

Hearing that, Jiang Cheng spat out his melon. Wei Wuxian waved his hands defensively in front of his face, “No, no. Their home has disgusting food and too many rules. I don’t want to go there” 

[摆手 is a type of hand waving in front of your face that’s basically screams no in this case. I chose to describe it rather than translate it since the visual is very stark in my head.]

江厌离道：“那你可以带他来玩嘛。这次就是个好机会，怎么不请你朋友来莲花坞一起住一段时间？”

Jiang Yanli said, “Then you can bring him here. This time was a good opportunity, why didn’t you invite your friend to Lotus Pier to stay with us for a while?”

[technically jyl said bring him to play but the idea of play in chinese is more broad. It include sight seeing, touristy things, little kids playing, etc. I chose to not include it since it’s awkward in english to translate that. The implication is to show lwj a good time in yunmeng. ^^]

江澄道：“阿姐你听他瞎说。他在姑苏可招人嫌了，蓝忘机哪肯跟他回来。”

Jiang Cheng said, “A-jie, don’t listen to his nonsense. At Gusu he was really detested. How could Lan Wangji be willing to come back with him?”

[the chinese for 听他瞎说 means literally listen to his blind talking. Translating as nonsense made more language sense?]

魏无羡道：“什么话！他肯的。”

Wei Wuxian said, “What are you saying! He’s willing.”

[什么话 is literally what + speech/language. It’s not like language as in watch your language so i translated it as “what are you saying” to convey the annoyance.]

江澄道：“醒醒，蓝忘机叫你滚，听到没？记得吗？”

Jiang Cheng said, “Wake up. Lan Wangji told you to get lost, did you not hear? Remember?”

魏无羡道：“你懂什么！他虽然表面上叫我滚，但我知道他心里一定很想跟我到云梦来玩，想得不得了。”

Wei Wuxian said, “What do you know! Even though on the surface he told me to get lost, but I know, in his heart, he must have really wished to come visit Yunmeng with me. He must want it a lot.”

江澄道：“我每天都在想一个问题，你到底是哪里来的这么多自信？”

Jiang Cheng said, “I think about a question every day: from where do you get so much self confidence?”

魏无羡道：“不要再想了，同一个问题想这么多年还没有答案，换我早就放弃了。”

Wei Wuxian said, “Don’t think about it. You’ve been asking the same question for years without an answer. If it were me, I would have given up a long time ago.”

江澄摇了摇头，正待摔瓜，忽听一阵气势汹汹的脚步飞驰声，一个森寒的女声远远传来：“我说这人一个个的都躲到哪里去了，我就知道……”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and was about to throw his melon, when suddenly there was the sound of overbearing and fast footsteps. A chilling female voice drifted in from the distance: “I was wondering where everyone hid to, I just knew...”

众少年脸色大变，纷纷夺帘而出，恰好撞上虞夫人从长廊那头转来，紫衣翩翩，却气势汹汹，丹目含煞着实骇人。一见这一群少年个个打着赤膊赤脚，不成体统、不堪入目的模样，虞夫人的脸好一阵扭曲，两条细眉更是扬得就快飞起。

The color drained from all the youths’ faces. They scrambled to leave through the curtains, coincidentally catching Madam Yu turning the corner of the corridor. Her purple clothing fluttered freely but her intimidating aura and blazing eyes were truly terrifying. When she saw the group of youths all bare armed and bare footed --  improper and unsightly -- Madam Yu’s face twitched for quite a while. Furthermore, her two elegant eyebrows rose to the point of almost flying. 

[Technically, the paragraph starts with their complexion changed, but in this case it’s out of fear so i used english colloquialisms in my translation. The ‘blazing eyes’ per character are red eye holding killing-energy so blazing eyes was what i went with. The last description of Madam Yu’s face was a weird thing to translate. I first translated it as her eyebrows flew up but I LOVED the way it was worded in chinese here and did my best to preserve it. Also, the wording is her thin eyebrows but it’s a positive description so i switched it to elegant due to cultural context.]

众人心道“坏了！”，魂飞魄散，拔腿便跑。见状，虞夫人终于反应过来了，大怒：“江澄！给我穿上衣服！赤条条的野人一样，像什么鬼样子！让人看见了我脸往哪儿搁？！”

Everyone thought “This is bad!”, horrified, they ran. Seeing this, Madam Yu finally came out of her stupor. She was livid. “Jiang Cheng! Put on your clothes! You’re as naked as a wild man! What sort of shit appearance is that? If other people were to see, where would I put my face?”

[Uh… what a clunky translation on my part. Hahahaha. 魂飞魄散 literally means your spirit flies and your soul scatters… so horrified. ^_^  像什么鬼样子 “is like what ghost appearance?” but ghost here is more a crude derogatory emphasis… so i translated it as shit? idk...  and i was pretty literal about the “where would i put my face”… but hopefully people understand that’s an expression of shame? If not, uh… it’s an expression of shame! Like saving face… but she would lose hers so hard she wouldn’t know where to put it? Cultural things! XD]

江澄的衣服就扎在腰间，听母亲骂了，忙不迭囫囵一套。虞夫人又骂道：“你们呢！阿离在这儿没看到吗？一群死小子在姑娘家面前脱成这副德行，谁教你们的！”

Jiang Cheng’s clothing was tucked around his waist. Hearing his mother’s reprimand, he quickly covered himself. Madam Yu added angrily, “You guys! A-li is here, did you not see? A group of damn boys stripped bare in front of a girl! Who taught you to do this?!”

当然，想都不用想就知道是谁带的头。所以虞夫人下一句照例还是：“魏婴！我看你是要死！”

Of course, it was without question who was the leader. Thus Madam Yu’s next sentence was, per usual: “Wei Ying! Do you want to die?”

魏无羡大声道：“对不起！我不知道师姐会来！我这就去找衣服！”

Wei Wuxian said loudly, “I’m sorry! I didn’t know Shijie would come! I will go look for clothing now!”

虞夫人更怒：“你还敢跑，给我滚回来跪下！”说着一鞭子就出去了。魏无羡感觉背上火辣辣得一痛，“哎哟”大叫一声，险些打滚。这时，虞夫人耳边突然有人幽幽地道：“阿娘，你吃不吃西瓜……”

Madam Yu became even more angry. “You dare run away? Bring your ass back here and kneel!” With those words, her whip flew out. Wei Wuxian felt a searing pain on his back and screamed, almost falling and rolling on the ground. Suddenly someone said faintly by Madam Yu’s year, “A-niang, do you want to eat watermelon...”  

[So 给我滚回来跪下 literally means roll back here and kneel. However, as 滚 is very crude language, i tried to match that in translation. FYI: 滚 is what lwj says when he tells wwx to piss off or get out or whatever. The text specifies wwx screams “aiyou” but it wasn’t really worth translating imo since it’s an onomatopoeia that doesn’t add anything to the text.]

虞夫人被不知道从哪里忽然冒出来的江厌离吓了一跳，就这么一耽搁，那群小贼全都无影无踪了，气得她转头去拧江厌离的脸，道：“吃吃吃，你就知道吃！”

Madam Yu was started by Jiang Yanli appearing out of nowhere. The slight interruption allowed the group of rascals to disappear without a trace. Madam Yu angrily turned toward Jiang Yanli and pinched her cheek saying, “Eat. Eat. Eat. All you know is eat.”

江厌离被母亲拧得眼泪都流出来了一点，含含糊糊地道：“阿娘，阿羡他们躲在这里消暑，我自己找来的，你不要怪他们……你……你吃西瓜吗……不知道是谁送的，不过很甜。夏天吃西瓜，解暑消火，又甜又多汁，我给你切好……”

Jiang Yanli was pinched so hard by her mother that tears trickled out. She mumbled, “A-niang, A-xian and the others hid here from the heat. I came here on my own looking for them. Don’t blame them. Do… Do you want to eat watermelon? I don't know who sent it to us, but it’s very sweet. Eating watermelon in the summer dispels heat and decreases your inner fire. It’s sweet and juicy. I can cut it for you...”

[note, in traditional chinese medicine, there is a balance between heat and cooling. You get sick if you’re off balance. One example of such sickness is heat stroke. But sometimes it’ll also manifest as chapped lips or other skin flare-ups and discomfort. So saying the watermelon dispeals heat and decreases inner fire is a way to say the watermelon helps rebalance you. I don’t know much about TCM but my mom likes it and yelled about it at me a lot as a child… so i’m just explaining what i’ve picked up.]

虞夫人越想越气，再加上天热口渴，居然真被她说得想吃了，如此一来……更气了。

The more Madam Yu stewed, the angrier she became. The summer heat caused her to be thirsty which made her actually want to eat the watermelon. As such, she became even angrier. 

那头数人好容易逃出了莲花坞，冲向码头，跃上小船。好久都无人追出，魏无羡这才放了心。他使劲儿摇了两下船桨，感觉后背还疼，扔下桨给其他人，坐下来摸了摸那片热辣辣的皮肉，道：“青天白日冤，咱们讲讲道理，明明大家都没穿衣服，为什么骂只骂我，打也只打我？”

The group of people escaped Lotus Pier with great difficulty, charged towards the docks, and jumped onto a small boat. When, even after a bit, no one chased them, Wei Wuxian relaxed. He rowed the boat a couple times and felt his back was still hurting. Handing the oar to someone else, he sat down to touch the stinging flesh. “I’ve been wronged in broad daylight. Let’s talk about this logically. Clearly no one was clothed, but why am I the only one to get reprimanded? Why am I the only one to get hit?”

江澄道：“一定是因为你不穿衣服的样子最辣眼睛。”

Jiang Cheng said, “It’s definitely because the way you look while not wearing clothing burns people’s eyes the most.”

[note, i translated 最辣眼睛 as burns people’s eyes the most. The characters are literally most, burn (as in peppery hot burn of chili), eyes. I thought about translating it as eyesore… but couldn’t quite convey the “most” part of the sentiment so this is what you get. Also, it comes up later.]

魏无羡看他一眼，突然���身一跃，扎入水中。其余人也响应号召一般，纷纷下水，瞬息之间只留了江澄一个人在船上。

Wei Wuxian glanced at him and suddenly sprang up and plunged into the water. Everyone else, seemingly responding to a signal, also entered the water. In a flash, only Jiang Cheng remained on the boat. 

江澄发觉形势微妙不对，道：“你搞什么鬼？！”

Jiang Cheng noticed the suspicious situation and said, “What are you trying to pull?!”

魏无羡滑到船侧，猛地一掌拍去。船只整个地翻了过去，在水里很有分量地一沉一浮，肚皮朝天。魏无羡哈哈大笑，跳上船底，盘足坐了，对着江澄摔下去的那一侧水喊道：“眼睛还辣吗江澄？应个声，喂，喂！”

Wei Wuxian swam up to the side of the boat and unleashed a sharp palm strike. The boat capsized: hull towards the sky and bobbing up and down in the water with vigor. Wei Wuxian laughed heartily, jumped onto the bottom of the boat, and sat down in a lotus position. He yelled towards the water on the side of the boat where Jiang Cheng fell in, “Are your eyes still burning, Jiang Cheng? Give a response! Hey! Hey!”

[The words used to describe the capsized boat was “belly skin towards the sky”. I wanted to share that because I love the imagery. Here is the burning from the spicy eyesore that showed up and made me go back and retranslate that sentence. I hate word play in translation… but also like trying to figure out a way to make it work!]

喊了两声，无人应答，只有咕噜咕噜一串水泡冒上来��魏无羡抹了把脸，奇怪道：“怎么这么久还没上来？”

After yelling twice and getting no response except for a string of gurgling bubbles, Wei Wuxian wiped his face and wondered, “How come he hasn’t popped up after all this time?”

六师弟也游了过来，惊道：“不会淹死了吧！”

Sixth-shidi also swam over and exclaimed, “He can’t have drowned, can he?”

魏无羡道：“怎么可能！”正要下水去拉江澄一把，忽听背后一声大喝，他“哎哟”一下，给人从背后一把推下了水，船只又湿淋淋地翻了个面。原来江澄给他掀下水后潜下水底绕了个圈，绕到了魏无羡背后。

Wei Wuxian said, “How could he?” He was about to jump into the water to drag Jiang Cheng out when he suddenly heard a loud cry from behind. Wei Wuxian yelped as he was shoved into the water. The boat, dripping wet, was flipped right side up. Turns out, after Wei Wuxian flipped Jiang Cheng into the water, Jiang Cheng swam underwater around the boat and ended up behind Wei Wuxian.

两人各偷袭得手一次，开始在水中绕着一条船警惕地打转，其余人则扑腾着水花，散开在湖里看热闹。魏无羡隔船叫嚣道：“你抄凶器算什么，有本事把桨放下，咱们空手���过。”

After the two of them each successfully landed a sneak attack, they started cautiously circling the boat. The others splashed and treaded water as they spread out over the lake to watch. Wei Wuxian hollered from the other side of the boat, “Why are you holding a weapon? If you’re skilled, put the oar down and we can fight hand-to-hand.”

江澄狞笑道：“你当我傻，我一放你就抢过去了！”他手上运桨如风，打得魏无羡连连退避，众师弟嗷嗷叫好。魏无羡左支右绌，百忙之中，抽空辩白道：“我哪有这么无耻！”

Jiang Cheng smirked, “Do you take me for an idiot? As soon as I put it down, you’ll take it!” He wielded the oar with unrelenting ferocity, forcing Wei Wuxian back. All the younger disciples cheered. Wei Wuxian found himself helpless as he dodged left and right. In his frenzy, he made time to plead his innocence, “I am not that shameless!”

[左支右绌 is a compilation of left and right and the word for insufficient. It basically means he couldn’t do anything against JC’s attacks. 百忙之中 - from within a hundred busy moments which i translated as frenzy, 抽空辩白 -- made time to plead innocence. ]

四周嘘声一片：“大师兄，你也有脸说这句啊！”

From all sides came the hissing response, “Da-shixiong, do you really have enough face to say such a thing?”

接下来，众人陷入了混乱的水战，什么大慈大悲杵、百毒蛇蝎草、夺命喷水箭——魏无羡一脚踹了江澄，好容易趴到船上，“呸”地吐了一口湖水，举手道：“不打了不打了，休战！”

Afterwards, everyone became involved in a chaotic water fight. Vicious attacks were used without hesitation. Finally, Wei Wuxian kicked Jiang Cheng and with great effort flopped onto the boat. He spat out a mouthful of lake water, raised his hands and said, “No more fighting. No more fighting! Truce! ”

[Note: the author said they got into a water fight and then listed these: 大慈大悲杵 (infinitely compassionate club) 百毒蛇蝎草 (hundred poison of snakes and scorpions grass) 夺命喷水箭 (life stealing water shooting arrow). I really don’t think there was a way to express these? But wanted to added in the notes as… uh flavor text? Also “infinite compassion” can probably be thought of as putting people out of their misery… so death. Pfffft. Seriously, this is how lots of wuxia fight scenes go. The author throws out poetic(-ish) phrases that kinda have something to do with the theme of the battle and then you’re expected to GUESS what that looks like. Once in a rare while they’ll talk about specific movements, but this is how it goes usually….And if you’re wondering, IMO, the compassion club is someone thwomping people with an oar, the poison grass is probably someone using their clothes/lotus stems/other water plants as whips and/or rods, and the last one is just people splashing each other.]

众人都顶着满头绿油油的水草，打得正酣呢，忙道：“为什么不打了，打呀！打呀！落了下风就求饶？”

Everyone’s heads were covered in bright green water weeds. They were fighting to their heart’s content! Thus, they retorted, “Why should we stop? Fight! Fight! Are you begging for mercy because you’re losing?”

魏无羡道：“谁说我求饶了，回头再打过。我是饿了打不动，先弄点东西吃。”

Wei Wuxian said, “Who said I’m begging for mercy? We can have another fight later. I’m hungry and don’t have energy for fighting anymore. Let’s get something to eat first.”

六师弟道：“那咱们回去吗？晚饭开饭前还能吃几个西瓜。”

Sixth-shidi said, “Are we going back then? We can have a few watermelons before dinner starts.”

江澄道：“现在回去，除了鞭子可没别的给你吃。”

Jiang Cheng said, “If we go back now, the only thing we’ll get to have is a whipping.”

[Note, getting a whipping here is literally eating whips… so there’s word play in terms of eating watermelon and eating whips… which is why i used the word have… a bit awkward? I dunno. If you have thoughts let me know. ]

魏无羡却早有主意，宣布道：“不回去。我们去摘莲蓬！”

Wei Wuxian was ready with a plan. He announced, “We’re not going back! We’re going to go pick lotus pods!”

江澄嘲道：“是‘偷’吧。”

Jiang Cheng said mockinly, “You meant ‘steal’, right?”

魏无羡道：“每次又不是没补钱！”

Wei Wuxian said, “It’s not like they don’t get paid later.”

云梦江氏在这一带时有照顾附近人家，除水祟不收取报酬，方圆数十里，不说几个莲蓬，哪怕是划一片湖专门种给他们吃也是乐意的。每次家中少年出去吃了人家的瓜、捉了人家的鸡、药晕了人家的狗，事后江枫眠也会派人一一补上。至于为何非要锲而不舍地偷来吃，倒不是流氓纨绔作风，无非少年人好玩儿心重，贪那一点被人笑笑骂骂追追打打的趣味罢了。

Yunmeng Jiang Sect often watched over the local people, removing water ghouls without asking for anything in return. Within a radius of several tens of lis, the people were happy to let them pick a few lotus pods. In fact, the people would be perfectly happy to designate a section of the lake to grow lotus just for them. Everytime the youths were out and ate people’s melons, caught people’s chickens, drugged people’s dogs, Jiang Fengmian would send someone later to pay the people. As to why they were determined to steal, it wasn’t because they were scoundrels but because they craved the fun experience of someone chasing them and hitting them while laughing and yelling. 

[Li = ~500 meters/1/3 of a mile. Also, this paragraph is basically ‘boys will be boys’… >.> poor jyl. I wish she got to do this too!! It sounds like so much fun! Also, really? WWX drugging dogs? Forgive me if I don’t believe it. Maybe the other boys did it for him?]

众人上了船，划了好一阵，到了一片莲湖附近。

Everyone got on the boat, rowed for a while, and ended up by a stretch of lake full of lotus. 

好大一片莲湖，青翠翠的。碧叶层层叠叠，小的如盘，大的如伞。外边的低一些疏一些，平平铺在水面上；里边的高一些挤一些，足够遮掩载人的船只，但若是看到哪里一群莲叶挨肩擦头地骚动起来，便知道是有人藏在里面做小动作了。

What a large stretch of lotus filled lake -- green and fresh! The verdant foliage layered and stacked on top of eachother, some as small as plates and others as large as umbrellas. The ones on the outskirts sat lower in the water and were more sparse, carpeting on the surface of the water. The ones on the inside stood taller and packed tightly together, sufficient to hide a boat carrying people. If one were to see a cluster of lily pads rustling and shaking, then they would know someone was mischievously hiding within.

莲花坞的小船滑进这片碧绿的天地底，四周挂满了鼓囊囊的大绿莲蓬，一人撑船，其余人便开始对它们动手动脚起来。大头大脑的莲蓬长在细长的莲茎上，莲茎平滑的绿杆上生满小刺，但不扎人，一折，脆生生地便断了。他们都是连着一段长长的茎一起折了，回去后还可以找个瓶子，插在水里养着，听说这样会多鲜嫩几天。魏无羡也只是听说，不知道是不是真的，反正他就是这么信誓旦旦告诉别人的。

The small boat from Lotus Pier glided into that verdant world. All around them hung large green lotus pods, round and full. One person rowed the boat and the rest started on the lotus pods. The large lotus heads grew on long, thin stems. The smooth lotus stems were covered with tiny thorns that did not sting. Bending the stems, they snapped with a crisp sound. The boys all broke off the pods with a large segment of stems attached. Once they took the pods home, they would find a vase and stick the pods in water. They heard it would preserve the pods’ freshness for a few more days. Wei Wuxian only heard it would work but didn’t know for sure, but he told the others with confidence anyway.

[the thorns and stinging thing was hard to translate. Maybe tiny stingers that didn’t stab people? I don’t know... basically some plants have little bits of white prickly things. And mxtx is describing that. This is why wwx is an academic. You want grant money? Convince people you’re right even if you may not be. >.> ]

他折了几枝，随手剥了一个，颗粒饱满，扔进嘴里，娇嫩多汁，边吃边随口胡哼瞎唱着什么“我请你吃莲蓬、你请我吃什么”，被江澄听到了，道：“你请谁吃？”

He broke off a few stems and reflexively removed the lotus seeds out of one. The seeds were full and round. When he popped them in his mouth, they were tender and juicy. As he ate, he started mindlessly humming and singing, “I treat you to eat lotus pods, what will you treat me to eat?” Jiang Cheng heard his singing and asked, “Who are you treating to eat things?” 

魏无羡道：“哈哈，反正不是你！”正准备摘个莲蓬砸他脸，忽然“嘘”了一声，道，“死了，今天老头在！”

Wei Wuxian said, “Haha, no matter what it’s not you!” He was about to smack Jiang Cheng’s face with the lotus pod but suddenly made a shushing noise and said, “We’re gonna die. The old man is here today!”

老头就是在这片水里种莲蓬的老农。到底有多老，魏无羡也不知道，反正在他看来，江枫眠是叔叔，比江枫眠大的一律都可以被称为老头。打魏无羡记事起他就在这片莲塘了，夏天来偷莲蓬，被抓住后就会被他打。魏无羡时常怀疑这老头是个莲蓬精转世，因为他对自己家湖里少了几个莲蓬了如指掌，少了几个打几下。莲湖里划船，竹篙比桨好使，砰砰砰！打在身上痛极了。

The old man was the old farmer who grew lotus pods in that stretch of water. How old was he, Wei Wuxian didn’t know. From Wei Wuxian’s perspective, Jiang Fengmian was an uncle. Anyone older than Jiang Fengmian could be referred to as an old man. Since Wei Wuxian could remember, he was around this stretch of lotus pond. In the summer, when Wei Wuxian came to steal lotus pods, if he was caught, he would be beaten. Wei Wuxian often suspected the old man was a reincarnated lotus pod spirit because he knew exactly how many lotus pods were missing from his family’s lake. He would beat you once for each missing lotus pod. A bamboo pole was the best tool for maneuvering a boat in a lotus lake. Thump thump thump! The bamboo pole was also exceptionally painful for the people getting hit.

[I wish mxtx would use fewer onamonapias… also, i translated lotus pond because the character she used 塘 means pond. I think she was being inconsistent… oh, well... and i really didn’t like the flow of this paragraph… kinda stream of conscience… especially the last few bits jumped to me, even in chinese. I tried making it flow… ]

众少年也都吃过几杆子，当下都嘘道：“快跑，快跑！”忙不迭抄桨，落荒而逃。七手八脚，划出了莲塘，做贼心虚地回头一看，老头的船已经穿出了重重莲叶，在开阔的水面上滑行。魏无羡歪头，看了一会儿，忽道：“奇怪！”

All the youths have experienced a few strikes of the bamboo pole. They all hissed at each other: “Run! Hurry and run!” They grabbed the oars and fled. After they frantically rowed out of the lotus pond, they turned around to look guiltily behind them. The old man’s boat had already exited the thick layers of lily pads and was gliding upon the open waters. Wei Wuxian tilted his head, stared for a bit, and suddenly said, “Weird!”

江澄也站了起来，道：“那船为什么走得这样快？”

Jiang Cheng also stood up and said. “Why is that boat moving so quickly?”

众人一看，那老头背对他们的方向，正挨个数着船上的莲蓬，竹篙放在一边，没动，船只却走得又稳又快，竟是比魏无羡他们的还快。

Everyone looked over at the old man. His back was turned towards them and was counting the lotus pods on his boat. The bamboo pole was set aside, untouched. The boat, however, moved steadily and swiftly, even faster than the boat with Wei Wuxian and company. 

众人都警惕了起来。魏无羡催促道：“划过去，划过去。”

Everyone became cautious. Wei Wuxian urged, “Row over there, row over there.”

两边船靠得近了，众人看得分明，老头的船边，有一道若有若无的白影在水面下游荡！

The two boats moved close and everyone could clearly see a faint white shadow floating and swimming under the water by the old man’s boat. 

魏无羡回头，食指抵在唇上，示意众人小心，莫要惊了老头和下面那只水鬼。江澄点头，划船只带出无声的水波，动静几近于无。当两船相距约三丈时，一只青白色的手从船底湿淋淋地扬起，从老头堆满船的莲蓬里，偷偷抓走了一个，无声无息潜入水底。

Wei Wuxian turned around, his finger against his lip, warning everyone to be careful -- do not startle the old man and the water ghoul under his boat. Jiang Cheng nodded and rowed the boat. The ripples he generated were nearly silent with almost no commotion. When the two boats were about three zhang apart, a wet and dripping pale green hand reached up from beneath the boat. Surreptitiously, the hand took a lotus pod from the old man’s full boat and silently resubmerged itself into the water.

[ 3 丈 (zhang) is ~ 10 meters or 11ish yards]   

片刻之后，两个莲子米的壳子浮上水面。

A few moments later, two lotus seed shells floated to the surface of the water.

一群少年惊呆了：“不得了，这个水鬼也偷莲蓬啊！”

The group of youths was astounded. “Wow! This water ghoul also steals lotus pods!”

[不得了 can be translated as excessive if paired with a situation... It’s just some sort of exclamation of awe and shock.]

老头终于发现身后来了人，一手抓着一只大莲蓬，一手抄竹竿转身。这动作惊了水鬼，哧溜一下，白影没了。众人忙道：“哪里跑！”

The old man finally noticed someone was behind him. He held a large lotus pod and one hand and turned around while grabbing the bamboo pole with the other. The motion started the water ghoul which slithered away. The white shadow disappeared. Everyone quickly hollered, “Where are you going?”

魏无羡扑通入水，扎进水底，不一会儿便拖着一个东西钻出来，道：“抓住了！”

Wei Wuxian plopped into the water and dropped into the depths. Soon, he resurfaced dragging something. “Caught it!”

只见他手里提着一只小水鬼，肤色青白，还是个十二三岁的孩子模样，十分惶恐，在一群少年的注视下几乎要缩成一团。

In his hand, there was a small water ghoul with pale green skin. It looked like a twelve or thirteen year old child. Terrified, it shrank into a ball under the group’s watchful eyes.

这时，老头一竿打来，骂道：“又来捣乱！”

At this time, the old man’s bamboo pole descended as he scolded, “Here again to cause trouble!”

魏无羡背上刚挨了鞭子，又吃了一竿，“嗷”的一声差点松了手。江澄怒道：“好好说话，干什么动手打人，好心当成驴肝肺！”

Wei Wuxian had just gotten whipped and was now getting hit by a bamboo pole. “Ow!” he yelped, almost losing his grip. Jiang Cheng angrily said, “Speak reasonably. Why are you hitting people? Misunderstanding our good intentions!”

[好心当成驴肝肺 means good heart is seen as a donkey’s liver and lungs. So something good seen as something bad. ]

魏无羡忙道：“没事没事。老……老伯你看清楚，我们不是鬼，这只才是鬼。”

Wei Wuxian quickly said, “No big deal. Old… old uncle, take a closer look. We are not ghouls. This is the ghoul.”

[Technically 你看清楚 is get a clear look but take a closer look works better in english. And it’s the same sentiment! ]

老头道：“废话，我只是老，我又没瞎。还不把它放了！”

The old man said, “No shit! I’m just old, not blind. Let him go!”

[废话 is literally useless speech. It’s basically the rude equivalent of ‘obviously’ so “no shit” it is! ]

魏无羡怔了怔，但见这被他捉住的小水鬼连连作揖，黑眼睛湿漉漉的，一副很可怜的样子，手里还揪着刚才偷的那个大莲蓬舍不得松手。莲蓬掰开了，看来是还没来得及吃几颗，就被魏无羡揪上来了。

Wei Wuxian startled. He watched the little water ghoul in his hand bowing with its hands clasped in front of its body. Its black eyes wet with tears, looking rather pathetic. In its hands the water ghoul still clung onto the large lotus pod it just stole. The lotus pod was broken open but the water ghoul clearly did not have time to eat many lotus seeds before Wei Wuxian dragged him to the surface.

江澄心道这老头简直不可理喻，对魏无羡道：“你别放，咱们把这水鬼抓回去。”

Jiang Cheng thought to himself that the old man was impossible to reason with. He said to Wei Wuxian, “Don’t let it go. We should take the water ghoul home.”

闻言，老头又举起了竹篙，魏无羡忙道：“别打别打，我放它下来就是了。”

Hearing those words, the old man raised the bamboo pole again. Wei Wuxian hurriedly said, “Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me! I’ll let it go!”

江澄道：“别放，万一这水鬼杀人替死怎么办！”

Jiang Cheng said, “Don’t let go. What would we do if the water ghoul kills people?”

魏无羡道：“这水鬼身上没血腥气，他年幼游不出这片水，最近这片水域没说死过其他人，应该是没害过人的。”

Wei Wuxian said, “This water ghoul doesn’t smell like blood. He’s young and cannot leave this section of the lake. Recently there has been no word that people have died in this area. It doesn’t seem like he’s harmed anyone before.”

江澄道：“就算之前没害过，今后也不一定不会……”

Jiang Cheng said, “Even if he hasn’t harmed anyone before, you can’t guarantee that in the future....”

话音未落，竹篙呼呼飞到。江澄吃了一记，大怒：“你这老头不分好歹吗？！知道是鬼不怕被它害了啊！”

Before his words finished, the bamboo pole landed with a whoosh. Jiang Cheng, getting hit, angrily said, “Old man, do you not have a sense of good and evil?! You know it’s a ghoul and you’re not scared of it doing harm?!”

老头也很理直气壮：“一只脚都进棺材的人还怕什么鬼。”

The old man responded with self assurance, “I already have one foot in my own coffin. Why would I be scared of a ghoul?”

魏无羡料想它也跑不远，便道：“别打了别打了，我松手了！”

Wei Wuxian figured it would not be able to run far, so he said, “Stop fighting, stop fighting. I’m letting go.”

他当真松了手，那水鬼哗啦一下蹿到老头船后，似是不敢出来了。

He really let go. The water ghoul slithered behind the old man’s boat, too timid to come out again. 

魏无羡湿淋淋地爬上了船，老头从船上挑了个莲蓬，丢进水里，水鬼不理。老头又挑了个大的，再丢进水中，莲蓬在水面上沉浮几下，忽的半个白脑袋钻出水面，像条大白鱼一般，把两个绿莲蓬叼进水底了。再过一会儿，水面上又浮起一点白色，水鬼把肩和手也露出来，缩在船后，埋头“咯吱咯吱”地吃了起来。

Wei Wuxian climbed back onto the boat soaking wet. The old man picked a lotus pod from his boat and threw it into the water. The water ghoul ignored it. The old man then picked a large lotus pod and threw it into the water. The lotus pod bobbed on the surface a few times. Suddenly, half a white head popped out of the water and dragged the two lotus pods down with its mouth like a large white fish. After a while longer, something white floated to the surface again. The water ghoul curled up behind the boat with its arms and hands above water and ate with noisy gusto. 

众人看它吃得津津有味，不禁纳闷。

Everyone watched, bewildered, as it ate with enthusiasm.

眼看着老头又丢了个莲蓬进水，魏无羡摸了摸下巴，有点不是滋味，道：“老伯，为什么它偷你的莲蓬，你让它偷，还送给它吃。我们偷你的，你就要打？”

Watching the old man throw another lotus pod into the water, Wei Wuxian rubbed his chin, feeling a little upset. He asked, “Old uncle, why do you let it steal your lotus pods? You even gift them to it. But when we steal your lotus pods, you hit us.”

老头道：“它帮我推船，给它几个莲蓬吃吃又有什么？你们这班小鬼？今天偷了几个？”

The old man responded, “It helps push my boat. Giving it a few lotus pods is nothing. You rascals? How many did you steal today?”

众人讪讪，魏无羡眼角一瞄，船肚子里堆了几十个不止，心道不妙，忙道：“走着！”

Everyone became embarrassed. Wei Wuxian glanced at the inside of their boat -- there were at least a few dozen. He knew the situation was going to take a turn for the worse and said, “Go!”

几人当即抄桨，那老头挥舞着竹篙迎面冲来，船行如风，头皮一麻，只觉那竹篙马上就要敲到，连忙撒开四肢，划得要疯了。两艘船绕着一大片莲湖逃了两圈，眼看越追越近，魏无羡已经吃了好几竿子，而且发现竿子只冲着他来，抱头大叫，道：“不公平！为什么只打我！为什么又只打我！”

A few people immediately picked up the oars as the old man charged forward waving his bamboo pole. His boat moved like the wind. The top of the youths’ heads felt a numbness and the foreboding sense of the bamboo pole making impact. They engaged all their limbs and rowed like crazy. The two boats circled the large lotus pond a couple of times, the old man’s boat closing in on the other boat. Wei Wuxian had already been hit a few times and he noticed the bamboo pole was only aimed at him. He hugged his head and yelled, “Too unfair! Why am I the only one getting hit? Why am I the only one getting hit!”

众师弟道：“师兄你顶住啊，都靠你了！”

All the younger disciples said, “Hang in there Shixiong! We’re counting on you!”

江澄也道：“是啊，你好好顶着。”

Jiang Cheng also said, “Yes, you just hang in there.”

魏无羡大怒，“呸！我顶不住了！”他抓了船上一只莲蓬，扔出去道，“接着！”

Wei Wuxian said angrily, “That’s it. I can’t hang in there anymore.” He grabbed a lotus pod from the boat and tossed it out, “Catch!”

[呸 is fairly coarse language.. But idk. It’s just a noise one makes when they want to express derision or being fed up. In ep 1, wwx uses it at madam mo when she wails about her son and he’s like, 呸, he’s old enough to know better. Maybe “f-ck that” but a little less harsh? Since wwx was done here, i just translated it as ‘that’s it’]

那是很大的一只莲蓬，掉落到水里，“咚”地溅起水花。老头的船只果然一顿，那只水鬼欢欢喜喜游过去，捞了莲蓬来吃。

It was a very large lotus pod -- it hit the water with a thud and a large splash. The old man’s boat paused as expected. The water ghoul happily swam over, scooped up the lotus pod, and began eating

趁此机会，莲花坞的船终于得了个空，逃掉了。

Seizing the opportunity, the Lotus Pier boat escaped. 

回去的时候，一名师弟道：“大师兄，鬼能吃出味道吗？”

On the way way back, a younger disciple asked, “Da-shixiong, can ghouls taste flavor?”

魏无羡道：“一般吃不出吧。不过我看这只小鬼，大约是……是……阿……阿嚏！”

Wei Wuxian said, “Usually not. But I think this little ghoul is proba… probab… probably.. Ah… achoo!”

日头落了，风来了，吹一吹，凉意上来了，冷丝丝的。魏无羡打了个喷嚏，揉了揉脸，接着道：“大约是生前想吃莲蓬吃不到，偷偷来摘的时候掉进湖里淹死的。所以……啊……啊……”

The sun had set and the wind picked up, bringing a sense of coolness and chill. Wei Wuxian sneezed, rubbed his face, and continued, “Probably it wanted to eat lotus pods in its past life but could not. When it snuck there to pick some, it fell into the water and drowned. So… ah… ah…”

江澄道：“所以吃莲蓬就是在了执念，会有满足感。”

Jiang Cheng said, “So, eating lotus pods realized its desires, giving it a sense of fulfillment.”

魏无羡道：“唔，对。”

Wei Wuxian agreed, “Uh, right.”

他摸了摸新旧伤交加的后背，还是忍不住把心里的话问出来了：“这可真是千古奇冤，为什么每次一有什么事，永远都只打我？”

He touched his back that was covered in crisscrossing old and new injuries and couldn’t help but voice his thoughts, “But this is such a strange injustice for the ages. Why is it that whenever something happens, I’m always the only one who gets hit?”

一名师弟道：“你最英俊。”

One younger disciple said, “You are the most handsome.”

另一人道：“你修为最高。”

Another said, “You have the highest cultivation.”

再一人道：“你不穿衣服最好看。”

Yet another added, “You look the best naked.”

众人纷纷点头，魏无羡道：“谢谢大家的赞誉，我听得都有点起鸡皮疙瘩了。”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Wei Wuxian said, “Thank you everyone for the praise. Hearing them gives me goosebumps.”

师弟道：“不客气啊大师兄。每次都是你挡在前面，你值得更多呀！”

A younger disciple said, “You’re welcome Da-shixiong. Since you’re the one who blocks hits for us each and every time, you deserve more.”

[每次都是你挡在前面 - (by character) every, instance, all, is, you, block,at, front, facing. Basically every time something comes up, WWX stands out front and takes the hits… ]

魏无羡惊讶道：“哦？还有更多，说来听听。”

Wei Wuxian said, shocked, “Oh? There’s more. Let’s hear it.” 

江澄听不下去了，道：“都住口！再不好好说话，当心我扎穿了船底，一起死了干净。”

Jiang Cheng could not bear hearing more. He said, “Everyone shut up. If you don’t say reasonable things, I just might smash through the bottom of the boat so we all die a clean death.”

这时，途经一片水域，两岸是农田。田里有几名身姿娇小的农女耕作，见他们的小船驶过，奔向水边，远远招呼，道：“哎——！”

At this time, they crossed a section of water with farmland on both sides. In the rice paddies, a few small framed farm girls were plowing. When they saw the boys’ small boat pass by, they ran to the water and waved, “Hey -----!”

众人也“哎”地应了，七手八脚去捅魏无羡：“师兄，叫你呢！人家叫你！”

Everyone responded with a “Hey” and then jabbed Wei Wuxian, “Shixiong, they’re calling you! They’re calling you!”

魏无羡定睛一瞧，果然是他带着头打过交道的，心头霎时乌云退散晴空万里，也站起来挥手招呼，笑道：“什么事！”

Wei Wuxian looked over. Indeed they were people he had led the boys in acquainting. His mood immediately brightened. He stood up, waved, and asked, laughing, “What’s up?”

[心头- heart, 霎时 - suddenly, 乌云- dark clouds, 退散 - receded and scattered, 晴空 - clear skies, 万里- ten thousand li. Beautiful description but “His mood immediately brightened” is equivalent. 什么-what  事-event/business, so colloquially, what’s up? ^^]

小船顺水流，农女们在岸边跟着走，边走边道：“你们是不是又去偷莲蓬了！”

The small boat moved with the water current and the farm girls followed on land. They walked and talked, “Did you guys go steal lotus pods again?”

“快说挨了多少下！”

“Quick! Tell us how many times you were hit!”

“还是去药人家的狗啦？”

“Or did you go drug other people’s dog?”

江澄听了几句，恨不得把他一脚踢下船去，痛心疾首：“你这臭名远扬的，真是给咱们家丢脸。”

Jiang Cheng listened for a few sentences and wanted to kick Wei Wuxian off the boat. He said with bitterness, “Your foul reputation has spread so widely. You’ve really lost face for our family.”

魏无羡辩解道：“她们说的是‘你们’，我们一伙儿的好吗，要丢脸也是一起丢脸。”

Wei Wuxian defended himself, explaining, “They said ‘you guys’. We’re all in this together, ok? If we lose face, we lose face together.”

这厢两人正掐着，那头一名农女又喊道：“好吃吗！”

While the two were fighting, the first farmgirl yelled, “Was it yummy?”

魏无羡百忙之中抽空道：“什么？”

Wei Wuxian paused in the middle of fighting, “What?”

[ok, i don’t know why mxtx chose to describe this as 百忙之中抽空  (found some time in the midst of pressing affairs) so i just described what she was trying to describe if that makes sense. I think it’s an unnecessary exaggeration on her part and frankly annoyed me… fighting jc shouldn’t take that much effort. They do it on reflex. this might also be hour 7 or 8 of me translating and my brain is fried but i’m angrily determined to finish lotus extra part 1 tonight. Forgive this loopy angry translator for exercising artistic discretion.]

农女道：“我们送的西瓜，好吃吗！”

The farm girl said, “The watermelons we sent over. Were they good?”

魏无羡恍然大悟，道：“西瓜原来是你们送的啊。很好吃！怎么不送进来坐坐，我们请你们吃茶！”

Wei Wuxian suddenly understood, “The watermelons were from you guys! They were delicious! Why didn’t you come in and visit for a bit? We could have offered you tea!”

那农女嫣然一笑，道：“送去的时候你们不在，放了就走，不敢坐啦。好吃就好！”

The farm girl smiled sweetly.  “When we brought it over, you guys weren’t there. We set them down and left. We dared not stay. Glad they were good!”

魏无羡道：“谢谢！”他从船底捞出几个大莲蓬，道，“请你们吃莲蓬，下次进来看我练剑啊！”

Wei Wuxian said, “Thank you!” He then scooped up a few large lotus pods and said, “Have some lotus pods on us! Next time, come in and watch me practice swords!”

江澄嗤道：“你练剑很好看么？”

Jiang Cheng sneered, “Is your practicing swords attractive?”

[好看 means good + look/watch. It can mean pretty, fun to watch, good for watching, easy on the eyes. Etc. so i picked one… maybe i should’ve used “is your practicing swords worth watching?” but it’s just a slightly different sense? Also, 好看 was used by wwx when lwj offered to carry him after wwx took a zidian whip to his leg and then transferred the curse on jin ling onto the same leg. He asked lwj is a man carrying another man attractive? Or maybe is it something that can be watched without shame? The implications are it would be shameful in that case. In this case JC is just expressing his disapproval for wwx’s flirting. You know? I can see why some people think JC is aro/ace because he doesn’t seem to get this stuff… like AT ALL. ]

魏无羡这么朝岸边丢着莲蓬，抛得老远，落入人手里却是轻轻巧巧的。他抓了几只往江澄胸口塞，搡他：“你愣着干什么，你也赶紧的。”

Wei Wuxian threw the lotus pods towards land. Despite flying a long distance, the lotus pods were light and easy to catch. He grabbed a few more lotus pods and shoved them at Jiang Cheng’s chest, “Why are you doing in a daze? Hurry up!”

江澄被搡了两下，不得已接了，道：“赶紧的什么？”

Jiang Cheng took the lotus pods against his will after getting them shoved at him. “Hurry up and do what?”

魏无羡道：“你也吃了西瓜，还不得给人家回礼啊。来来不要不好意思，都丢起来，丢起来。”

Wei Wuxian said, “You also ate the watermelon. You need to return a gift. Come on, don’t be embarrassed. Everyone, throw! Throw!”

江澄嗤道：“笑话，这有什么不好意思的。”话是这么说，可一船师弟都开始丢得不亦乐乎了，他还没动手。魏无羡又道：“那你丢啊。这次丢了，下次就可以问她们莲蓬好不好吃，又可以搭话了！”

Jiang Cheng sneered, “Funny. What is there to be embarrassed about?” His words were such, but even though all the younger disciples on the boat were gleefully throwing lotus pods, he still had not thrown any. Wei Wuxian said again, “Then throw! If we throw this time, next time we can ask them if the lotus pods were delicious. It’ll be another opportunity for conversation!”

众师弟恍然大悟：“原来如此，受教了，师兄真是经验老道啊！”

All the younger disciples felt enlightened. “So that’s how it is. We are learning! Shixiong is truly experienced!”

[suddenly understood was used by mxtx again. I’m translating it as enlightened due to context. Also, she needs to stop repeating the same phrasing over and over again… ]

“一看就是经常干这种事的！”

“Clearly you do this a lot!”

“哪里哪里，哈哈哈哈……”

“You flatter me, hahahaha….”

[哪里哪里 means where, where; as in where is this compliment coming from? So ‘you flatter me’ is the appropriate way to express this sentiment]

江澄本来要丢的，一听这话瞬间清醒，深觉丢人，剥开一只莲蓬自己吃了起来。

Jiang Cheng was originally going to throw the lotus pod, but acquired clarity upon hearing the conversation. He felt the action was severely embarrassing and broke open a lotus pod for himself to eat instead.

船在水里走，姑娘们在岸上小步追，接着船上少年们抛过来的翠绿莲蓬，沿路跑沿路笑。魏无羡右手搭在眉间，望着这一路风景，笑着笑着，叹了口气。众人道：“大师兄怎么啦？”“妹子们追着你跑还叹气啊？”

The boat moved in the water. The girls scurried along on land, catching the jade green lotus pods tossed over by the youths on the boat, running and laughing all the way. Wei Wuxian’s right hand rested between his brows, watching the scenery pass by. As he smiled, he let out a sigh. Everyone asked, “Da-shixing, what’s wrong?” “Girls are chasing us but you sigh?”

魏无羡把桨扛上肩，嘿道：“没怎么，只是想到我诚心诚意请蓝湛来云梦玩儿，他居然敢拒绝我。”

Wei Wuxian lifted an oar onto his shoulders and smirked, “Nothing much. I’m just thinking about how I sincerely invited Lan Zhan to Yunmeng for a visit, but he actually refused me.”

众师弟竖起大拇指：“哇，不愧是蓝忘机！”

All the younger disciples gave a thumbs up, “Wow. Lan Wangji really deserves his reputation!”

[so for CQL folk, 不愧是蓝忘机 means ‘he’s not Lan Wangji for nothing’ or ‘deserves to be lwj’ but i think ‘deserves his reputation’ is a better translation in context, ok? It’s a sentence structure seen at the end of ep 50 when wwx says to lwj ‘you 不愧是 hanguang-jun’ and lwj responds back ‘you 不愧是 wei ying’. 不 is not and 愧 is ashamed so it means not ashamed to be? Something like that. There’s a chinese Yibo meme where whenever he’s a gremlin or does something impressive, they pop up 不愧是我 next to him. Like, of course i deserve my reputation. There’s a hunxi-guilai post about it so just go look if you’re still confused. I can try to explain more if you lmk what’s confusing?]

魏无羡意气风发地道：“住口！总有一天我要把他拖来，然后把他踹下船去，骗他去偷莲蓬，让老头用竹竿子敲他，让他追在我后面跑，哈哈哈哈……”

Wei Wuxian declared with vigor, “Shut up! One day I will drag him here. And then I will kick him off the boat, deceive him into stealing lotus pods, get the old man to hit him with the bamboo pole, and make him chase after me as I run off, hahahaha...”

[Can i just say how much I LOVE THIS?! Because WWX is one track mind crushing/fixating on LWJ and it just delights me that he wants LWJ to share all his experiences and adventures. It’s so much of I want him to suffer with me, focusing on the WITH ME. and WWX has no idea that’s why he’s so fixated. Aaaaaaaaaah!]

长笑了一阵，他回头，看了看坐在船头一个人板着脸吃莲蓬的江澄，笑容逐渐消失，叹道：“唉，真是孺子不可教也。”

After laughing for a while, he turned his head and looked at the Jiang Cheng who was sitting at the end of the boat grumpily eating lotus pods alone. Wei Wuxian’s smile gradually faded. He sighed and said, “Alas, the child cannot be taught.”

江澄怒了：“我就想自己吃怎么了？”

Jiang Cheng was angered. “So what if I want to eat it myself.”

魏无羡道：“你啊你，江澄。算了，你没救了，你就一辈子自己吃吧！”

Wei Wuxian said, “Oh, you, Jiang Cheng. Whatever, you’re hopeless. You can just eat them yourself for the rest of your life.”

[算了 is like drop it, or let it go. Wwx is saying it to himself so it’s like whatever if whatever were said to jiang cheng.]

总之，偷莲蓬的小船，再一次满载而归。

In short, the small boat that went to steal lotus pods once again returned after a successful journey.

I drew this awhile ago but I think it fits the spirit of the day~ And be sure to enjoy your mooncakes!

云梦遥浮世纷怨谁明了 姑苏照涟漪拨乱了心跳 少年玉面清袍风骨桀骜 琴声渺渺笛声寥寥

清河耀今朝花落人寂寥 兰陵傲三尺青锋灼尘嚣 纵使刀光入鞘半生孤傲 绽若云巅风雨飘摇 (巅风雨飘摇)

挥剑断邪妄宵小除奸为济道 抚一曲问灵问天地昭昭 天子笑 一樽美酒今生为你挥毫       前路遥流年不羡那风貌

Far away in Yunmeng, worldly affairs seems hazy in the distance Reflections in Gusu, flowing ripples dishevel your heartbeat The handsome youth in clear robes has an untamed spirit and pride Sounds of zither lingers, the music of flute scatters Radiance of Qinghe shimmers on fallen petals around a lone soul Pride of Lanling ignites the sword that blazes through chaos Even if you sheathe your blade and stand aloof for half a lifetime The silver lining prevails at the edge of clouds While you’re drifting in the wind and storm (Drifting in the wind and storm) A slash of your sword strikes down treacherous fiends Clearing the path for common good You play a song of Inquiry calling for a brighter world I drink the splendid wine of Emperor’s Smile Splashing my ink for you, always Our future is still long, but we’ll never envy others As long as you’re with me

fiverr.com 入門級國際自由工作平台

fiverr.com 成立2010年，成立初期以為了$5美金，您能為對方付出什麼服務？$5美金是非常低的項目價錢，這跟本不可能有什麼具質素的項目品質，所以早期提供的服務都是一些簡單的任務，例如您支付$5美金給我，我會拍一段影片，唱一首歌給您聽，或為您畫一幅簡單的個人畫像像等等。買家也不會期望有什麼具品質的作品會出現。但慢慢發展到2017年，網站已經提供很多元化的服務，包羅萬有的項目，主要針對沒有太多預算的客戶，最低服務費用是$5美金起，您可以增加預算，要求賣方提供更多服務。現在有不少$1000-3000美金的專業服務，針對高品味及對作品有要求的買家，這個低門檻的自由職業者市場，或稱為在線外包的服務目錄網站，非常適合新手自由工作者作起步點。

我能應徵什麼類型的自由工作者？

作為自由工作者(Freelancer)或斜桿青年(Slash)，您能提供什麼服務給客戶，跟據全球最大人力資源網站 www.linkedin.com 的研究，佔最大比重是設計項目及網站開發，約佔40%份額，這也是最常見的自由工作者類別。其餘非常熱門的是撰寫文案及翻譯語言，隨著社交媒體不斷發展，這個範疇常常出現空缺。也有攝影及錄像的服務，但這對硬件有一定要求，攝影及錄像是很昂貴的投資。總結在這裡，您能找到很多不同的工作類別，有不少都是奇怪的項目，大家慢慢發掘。

我可以賺取更大利潤的項目嗎？

最近提供了專業的服務需求，在 fiverr.com 您可以自由定價，不一定要從$5美金起，例如一個 Logo設計及應用物料，可以高達$1000-3000美金也有客戶購買，這是可以視為真實的業務看待。大家可以申請成為專業的自由工作者，並承接高價位的項目，快來建立您的線上歷曆，賺取更豐厚的收入。

這個網站可靠嗎？有什麼媒體報導？

自2010推出後，主打用 $5美金 能換取不同的微服務，創新的營運模式，迅速被全球各地的媒體報導，也引發全球的抄襲商業模式的熱潮。在香港也出現過十多個相同的網站，但最終都沒有成功的例子，通常在導入客戶及吸引自由工作者上無法滿足各自的需求，���部分只餘下一個空殼，這也是十分可惜的現實。

可以在以下連結查看新聞稿件。 https://www.fiverr.com/news?source=footer

不要單打獨鬥，加入社區並分享經驗：

申請成為 fiverr.com 會員後，先不要發佈項目或接受案件，請先來到討價區，查看前人的經驗及發掘有否跟自已相同情況的人出現，這可以學習很多技巧，避免往後走很多不必要的冤枉路，這是在進入所有自由工作平台都適用的法則。在國外接案，良好的英語能力是必須的，如需要可以使用翻譯軟件協助。

討價區網址： https://forum.fiverr.com

遇上困難怎麼辦？

一般在國外接案，如遇上任何不愉快的合作，或技術問題，一般是沒有中文的電話或電郵支援，您需要提供問題的證明文件及內容，通常在數個工作天之內都得到回覆，一般情況，國外不會計算星期六及日為工作日，提供的資料愈詳細愈好，這能加快處理速度。

客戶服務網址： https://fiverr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

[Unused] Datamined Lunafreya Content

From the user SylvaViaFleuret on this really interesting Reddit thread, I compiled all of the old/unused/pending Lunafreya content that won't/hasn't made its way into the final game. Some seem to be scrapped ideas, while others like Luna's battle content where added with updates as recently as the royal edition! This really perks up interest since Episode Luna was announced to be released next year so... maybe they have already started to place content in? :D

Conjectures aside, and since there are many interesting tidy bits concerning or making allusions to Luna, I took the time to pick and separate the content in sections. Here's a list so you have an idea of what’s under the read more:

Chapter 14

Noctis, Umbra with a flashback of Lunafreya in Tenebrae.

10年？どういうことだよ？ 10年待ったら……世界は…… アーデンは？ 世界はどうなる？ あいつら待っていてくれるのか？

神となるか？王となるか？人として生きるか？ ただ待て、決断の時まで 俺はどうすればよい？ これが終われば俺は死ぬ？

でもやらなければ… 神として生きる、王として生きる、人として生きるか？ さあ、どうする…… アンブラ…… テネブラエ…… 城が壊れないって事は…これは過去……アンブラが見た光景なのか？ アンブラ……おい！待てよ！ 花にはそんな意味があったのか…… ルーナ、もう会えないかもって 覚悟してたのかよ ここは…… 最初から結婚出来ないって知ってて…… ルーナ……

ここは… ルーナ…… ねぇ……アンブラ…… これからインソムニアに行ってくるわ もうここには……戻ってこれないかもしれないわね ノクティス様に会えるかなあ アンブラ……私…死にたくない……怖い…… ノクティス様と一緒に生きたい…… でも……ダメなんだよね ルーナ…… そうやって…… 俺のために…… 世界のために…… 相談もしないで…… 全部一人で背負い込んで…… 急にいなくなって…… ルーナ……ルーナ！！ 話したいことが 沢山あるのに…… ……もう いないのかよ…… オレ…… みんな何も言わねーから オレも、いっつも覚悟が遅れて ……ごめんな、ルーナ 使命、果たしてくる 光は満ち、そなたは啓示を終えた。

己の玉��へ向かうがよい ……そこに座んのは、王様だけだ アンブラ……ありがとうな ルーナのためにも、世界を取り戻さないとな 俺は……アーデンを倒す！ さあ、どの道を選ぶ？ 俺の生きる道は… これを選ぶ さあ、全部終わらせよう

Noctis is catching up after the 10 year gap. What about the world? What about Ardyn? Is everyone waiting for him (Noctis)? Will you be a god? Will you be a king? Will you be a normal person? (Confusion about this decision) I'll die after this? But if you do not, how do you live? (Repeats the same question as before). A flashback from Umbra of Lunafreya in Tenebrae, prior to leaving for Insomnia. She expresses that she'd like to be with Noctis once more. Noctis is encouraged to go to the throne, and to defeat Ardyn. Asked once more for what path will be taken (choice prompt box likely here), and then makes a comment about finishing it all. ※ Note: Don't take this as being perfect, take it as rough notes. Still reading through more of what you sent. I have spaced the lines out a little easier to read as well.

Chapter 14

Noctis and Ardyn conversation, includes some details of the past.

オヤジも……ルーナも……  テネブラエ…… オレ…… みんな何も言わねーから オレも いっつも覚悟が遅れて ……ごめんな ルーナ 使命 果たしてくる オレはおまえのご先祖だよ 知らねーよ 心優しき王にさ オレもなるはずだったんだ   ひどい兄弟がいたんだよ オレに敬意を払わない おまえはその血を引いてるからね どうりでムカつくわけだ   オレも特別な王様に選ばれたかったなぁ へっ 無理だろ うん あの石に使骸扱いされてたからね 触ったら弾かれちゃうくらいにさ 黒は大事な色なんだっけ みんな黒ずくめだもんなぁ でもクリスタルって元々真っ青でね オレが触ったときに怒りで真っ黒になったんだ  オレには使骸が棲みついてるだからおまえの一撃が効くよ   だったらさっさと消えろよ 痛いからぜひそうしたいねぇでも身体はさ 死なないんだよね――   これで終わり じゃねえんだよな まだだ 少ししたら元に戻る ……騒ぎが呼び水になったか 使骸どもか 城の前かな 全部相手にする……？   半分はこれで何とかなる 残りは手作業な 了解！ 炎神……か？ えっ アーデンだけじゃなくて？ 結構な相棒がいやがったな 死んだ神を起こしたのか 相当 追いつめられてんだろ 行くか？ あれじゃ街が燃えちまうぞ ノクト 先にあっちへ飛べるか 炎を抑えられるのはおまえだけだ   ああ 行ける オレたちもすぐ 援護する位置に回る ……っ ノクト…… （戸惑うアドリブ） ……行こう 手伝わなきゃ 向こうにもお仲間がいるしな ああ ノクトを支えよう まだ共に戦える――！  ノクト！ 上に逃げやがったか 今なら終わらせられる えっ？ もうあいつは弱ってる これまでもらってきた いろんな力が効いてんだろ  炎神は……ひとりじゃ無理だったけどな おまえだけでやれるのか 使骸一掃の前に あの巣 叩いてくるわ 残念なお知らせです …… ここ 座りに来たんでしょ っふふ もう空いてないってさ～  汚ねえカッコでそこ座んなよ そこは王様の椅子だ  オレの名前さ あれ本名だけど 正式名じゃなかったんだよね～  アーデン・ルシス・チェラム 正式名 あぁイズニアは誰の姓だったか……  待ってたよ ノクト 待ちくたびれてイライラしたけどね  やっと ……王家を 未来ごと潰せる

Noctis discusses seeing things through, including apologizing to Lunafreya. Ardyn discusses being Noctis' ancestor, and then discusses the past. 「兄弟」 is getting used instead of a singular as seen in some of his retail lines, or the "Lucian King" comment from Ardyn, and that he mentions a lack of respect. The colour black being an important and/or formal colour of Lucis is brought up, and that the Crystal wasn't the current colour it is now, but rather a pure blue. (The standard Final Fantasy crystal colour). The crystal's colour changed when Ardyn touched it, or at least so it would seem. Discusses his immortality briefly. Ifrit shows up, there's some chatter in there. A comment about a puzzled ad-lib (voice over) is left within brackets, and then there's the lines for after Ifrit. However, Ardyn is now on the throne and it is here that he introduces himself by his official name of Ardyn Lucis Caelum, and reinforces his intentions. ※ Note: This is really weird to me, I don't see why some of this is gone. Same as before, just rough notes as I'm not doing the whole thing properly.

Unspecified Chapter; must be after Chapter 2.

Cor is missing, there is propaganda about his execution. Loqi appears.

Chatter about gathering to prepare, including contacting Meldacio Hunter HQ. Noctis calls, and it is confirmed that Cor has been captured by the Nifilheim Army. There is a newspaper that has a headline of Cor's execution across it. What are you gonna do? A strategy to rescue Cor. There won't be any action without any verified information, and as per usual they will gather intelligence and draft a strategy. Comments about being lucky to have escaped an explosion at the North Duscaen Blockade means that this is Loqi, and his survival was to be brought up more-so than suddenly appearing with Caligo. It's a trap, and being regarded as a rematch. More preparation chatter, as well as the radio broadcast from Ravus about the blockade, the earthquakes and Insomnia. Noctis intends to go into the base alone, and then it goes into the next part. There's another one after, and that whilst troops are being deployed both Noctis, and Prompto are mentioned by name as being involved in things. Verstael's research is being tested again. At the end, there's a comment about the recapture and/or recovery of Insomnia being close. Then it goes into there being a roar sound near Noctis, and Leviathan appears. Noctis mentions this being a trial and/or Revelation, and that he accepts it. Then the following text goes into a jumble instead of being structured properly like the rest above. Not sure if this is exactly the same as Chapter 9, so I would recommend checking it after the fact.

Unspecified Chapter; likely Chapter 3 or 4.

Umbra makes a delivery from Lunafreya, and it's a bit different to the final.

アンブラ これ おまもりか？ ルーナがくれたのか 彼はアンブラ ご主人は ルナフレーナ様だ えっ じゃあ届け物を わざわざ？ ノクティス王子を心配して―― か 彼も よくここがわかったな ゲンティアナが示したんだろ アンブラも『神影』の一員だし なんだよ まったく 人の身ばっか心配してんな まただね

※ Note: This is odd, because the term 「神影」 isn't what is used in the retail for the Messengers and/or Angels. The term used in the final is 「天使」 and there's a mention of concern. Not wanting to have some conjecture, but is this potentially earlier than what I would expect? Same thing with some of those name changes I pointed out for you earlier.

CHAPTER 1

So...you thinking to fairy tale Lady Lunafreya back to the Crown City? Nah, no need to rush to happily ever after. Wow. Still can't believe you're actually tying the knot, dude! How does it feel now that it's finally happening? Pretty good Fine, I guess? C'mon, you can't fool me. Any guy would be over the moon to marry her! No big deal. Yeah, whatever. Not sure Won't know 'til it actually happens. Makes sense. Wait. Think...I'll find someone to marry? Don't look at me. You'd think royalty would've been spared the holdup. I know, that's what I thought. No one likes a lazy prince. Thanks. Just saying Lady Luna's in for a rude awakening. Forget the wedding, you'll be late for your own funeral. Don't rush me I should have it worked out by then. Joke around all you want, but you won't be laughing when she's had it with you. I'll be fine. I can wake up when I have to. Good, 'cause I didn't join the Crownsguard to serve as your human alarm clock. Don't even dream of sleeping in tomorrow, unless you'd prefer to swim rather than sail across. Heaven knows Lady Lunafreya's waited long enough. We'll see. Maybe she'll call the whole thing off. This is no laughing matter. No problem. I think I can handle it. Yes, it's all fun and games...until we fail to make the wedding and violate the terms of the peace treaty. Listen, Noct. It's your last night as a free man. You've gotta live it up, dude! Live it up how? Alright! So what should we do? If you jump off the pier, make sure you come back up. I recommend not going overboard. No thanks I'll pass. C'mon!

You miss home? Nope, can't say that I do. What about you? //updated 150108 I like it out here. You don't have to worry about acting like a prince. Your Highness acting unprincely!?

Go to him. Tell him that I am alive, and I am well. ...And that he is ever in my prayers. Hey! Hm? Hey there fella! What's your name? Umbra? There, in his collar, a note. //updated 150108 You know this dog? //updated 150108 It's a letter...from Luna. Umbra here is a loyal servent of none other than Her Highness, you see. Does this mean what I think it means? It means Luna made it out alive! It would seem. Well, not quite the reunion I was hoping for, but at least she's okay. //updated 150108 There you are, Umbra. Good dog. Thanks for everything. Say hi to Luna for me. Whoa! Unbelievable!

----

We need to go! Some kind of problem? I'm afraid these mountains are unsafe for trespassers. The army is tending to the issue, yet I must ask you be on your way. Luthus. Say wha-? Huh? The Archaean's memorial is no more. There is nothing left for you here. Wait. What about Luna? Her fate is yet unknown to us. You would do well to obey your calling. No man shall be king that the ring does not will. Don't know about you, but that imperial weirdo gives me the creeps. Her Highness's brother is not of the empire. Why's Luna's brother on their side? What other side is there to be on? Curious he spoke of the ring. Well, I'm "obeying my calling" the best I can.

----

Hey Noct, it's man's best friend. She sent you, didn't she. With a letter. Any news? You crossed the sea to bring this to me. The sea? Turns out Luna is in Altissia. I trust she's well. Hey! Sounds like you've got a date waiting! She say anything else? Says she's got something for me. Finally! Some good news for a change! We can cross the sea from Caem. It'll take some arranging. We'll have to leave the car behind. So be it.

CHAPTER 9

Head to the rendezvous point. Board the imperial assault craft. Sever the cables attached to Leviathan. Dodge Leviathan's attacks. Join Gladiolus. Stop Leviathan's tidal wave. Defeat Leviathan.

The Summit Bound by Destiny The Trial of Leviathan +Listen to Luna's address. Search for survivors.

Must've been quite the earful. You can say that again. Sounds like you've got something to sleep on. Indeed. Perhaps a quick word then? About? The goings-on in town. Best you know your roads before you arrive at a conclusion. Hey, it can't hurt to ask, right? Sure. What makes you so sure the imperial army's coming? After they felled the Archaean in Lucis, one can surmise it only a matter of time before they come to Altissia. The empire's not content ruling all the land—they want the heavens as well.   Hence they'll come for the Hydraean, which I imagine should come as no surprise to you. Call me a cynic, but I have my misgivings about the Honorable Madam Secretary. Then ask away. What proof do we have that Lady Lunafreya is in the government's care? You mistrust Camelia, and I don't blame you. But ask yourself this: Why would they open the Hydraean's altar, which is of no good to them without the Oracle? Of course, it's "no good" they'll be up to, letting her summon the Hydraean to a military massacre. There IS this one thing that's been on my mind. Cool if I ask? Go for it. So, what's the "Serpent's Rage?" An old sailor's tale we might see for ourselves. In short, the Sea Goddess wrought havoc before entering her forced slumber. Perhaps she slept it off, or perhaps not—an "unsettling" prospect for politicians. They'll guard Lady Lunafreya, so long as you fight off the imperial army, yes? That's the long and short of it. You must think it a fool's errand. Yet it is a gambit, not pure sacrifice—they wager that you will claim the might of the Hydraean. Lady Lunafreya is loved and revered. Turning her over to the empire would amount to political suicide, but that hardly stops them from using her for leverage. All is fair in love and war, particularly if it turns out you can bring true peace. This is not the utopia Insomnia was. Here, each acts only in his own best interests. We stand divided against an empire that has come to bear down upon us, much as it did Lucis. Your heart is yours to follow. Just see to it that you proceed with caution. Should you ever need it, Maagho is at your disposal. As am I, of course. Sleep well, lads. Well, guess we need to go give her our decision. Like there was any other option. So long as the empire is involved, our choices will be made for us.

----

My dear Camelia, it's been a while.   Oh, I won't be staying long. So, to what do I owe the pleasure? I heard about your distinguished guests. You've an ear for gossip. Hardly any match for yours. Do you flatter me? Must you doubt me?   Old habits. Hmph.   It's time we broke them.   Curious. That who I think? Who? Who? Gentlemen, I won't waste your time. My name is Camelia Claustra.   First Secretary of the Accordo Protectorate. You should know we have Lady Lunafreya in our care.   ...For the time being. I am inclined to surrender her to the empire.   What? But not before I weigh the words of the King of Lucis. When you're prepared to discuss terms, come to my estate.

----

Once the rite is complete, we'll give them all we've got. We knew we'd have to take on the empire sooner or later.   Then it's settled. Per the agreement, we will guarantee the Oracle's safety... ...insofar as it does not endanger our people.   Once the empire attacks, I cannot—will not—be held responsible for her.   Abandoning her at the altar?   There's nothing to stop her from running. And nothing to stop me from going there now.   Except the terms of this agreement. I won't let you jeopardize the lives of my people.   Yet we're supposed to take a deal that'll cost hers? It's hardly a death sentence. The girl can fend for herself. Against an entire army?   If you'd prefer, I could deliver her to the empire right now.   You wouldn't... You've quite the penchant for picking on Lucian men.   And you the penchant for eavesdropping. A skill I acquired here— My ears are all that's kept me in business. Certainly wasn't your manners.   There is a play,  once you know all the angles. We move our king to the fore to keep the pawns out of harm's way, while our pieces offer support from the back rank. Of course, our dear queen here is in no position to abet the enemy. Hmph. She has an ostensible allegiance to maintain, which is why she's alerted her imperial superiors to your presence.   She did!? It's nothing personal. She wishes to keep the empire in check as you do, but can't afford to tip her hand. Should we prevail, she benefits by having her masters cast out of the capital. And should we fail, she ingratiates herself with them by having delivered the king.   I'd hoped at least His Majesty would understand.   I am First Secretary of Accordo. My loyalties lie with my people, and nowhere else.   The liar-in-chief in a land of snakes. In her role, honesty is a luxury that can be ill afforded.   You'll engage the empire as agreed. How you do so is up to you. But don't forget: the Oracle is in our custody.   If you value her safety, you'd best behave yourselves.   Same to you. We'll take care of the empire, but if you pull anything before the covenant— we'll take care of you next.   I can't promise something I can't help. Of course.   You certainly opened up to them, though. What can I say? I have a soft spot for the young and tragic. They've lost Regis, they've lost the crystal… Was it so long ago the last Oracle was taken from them? We've seen the empire go mad these ten-odd years. That we have. Holding my walls won't matter when the whole world crumbles.

What about Luna? Then I'll just go to the altar right now. You're leaving her for dead. No two ways about it. No deal. Same to you. Alright.

----

If worse comes to worse, you can threaten to throw the trident into the sea—then they'll listen. In the meantime, it will be well guarded. Better than the Oracle herself. Understood. I shall reclaim it at the altar.   You'll be escorted by imperial soldiers. I know. Think of it as a necessary evil in order to forge the covenant.   I am in your debt.   Easy to see why they all adore you.   Once it's over, you may go as you please, but you do so without our protection. So be it. You'd better get going.   Your public is waiting for you.

----

The wedding day arrives, but alas, without the bride. Of course, we've come for the Hydraean, and you've gone to such lengths to prepare. Merely my duty. Ah, but for an outsider to lead the imperial army must be a battle in and of itself. You've spoken to Lady Lunafreya? No. That obstinate secretary, standing in the way. While you rush off to slay the Hydraean for your poor sister's sake. I know the price of the covenant. First the Archaean, then the Fulgurian, and soon the Hydraean! Tragic...yet were the bond to be severed... The Oracle is not your concern. ...the world would be the daemons' for the taking. Your presence is not required. And then there's this.   My arm, what of it? The pitiable fate of one spurned by the light... And you wished only to be its champion. Meanwhile that recalcitrant vagabond is chosen. I understand more than you can know. You do seem rather...well-acquainted. Acquaintances are the means by which I keep an ear to the ground and an eye on the heavens. One doesn't live to my age without making a few friends. We suffered great losses slaying the Archaean, and this battle should prove no different. Should the chancellor insist on staying, I must insist on appointing guardsmen for your safety. Most kind of you to care for my...well being.

----

Pryna...   Pryna! Such a terrible storm. My poor escort... the waves ate him alive.   You...   Most perceptive, must run in the family. You're holding onto something that doesn't belong to you. And I'm supposed to collect it.   But on second thought, you keep it. We can't have a king without a ring, now can we? And do remind him about the Crystal. I want him to know his imperial friend is  behind him.   You have time enough to carry out your errand. The question is, have you the willpower?   Of course you do, you're dying to see him!   The anticipation is killing me as well! Ah, to see the look on his face as he watches his beloved die before his eyes!   Come, sweet prince! Your bride awaits!   I will pass the ring to the rightful king. The rightful king...  will restore light to the world.   And then, at long last, those in thrall to darkness shall find peace.   Luna! Ladies first, sweet Lunafreya. Good luck finding peace.   I'm coming. Hold on!   Noctis...   Luna!

----

Don't you love how trains let you just sit back and enjoy the ride?   So, we're gonna roll through Tenebrae.   Not before visiting the royal tomb at Cartanica.  And the train'll just wait for us.   How's the eyes?   The wound's improved, but my sight has not...   You wanna pass on Cartanica? No, I should be fine, given a bit more time.  Forgive me, Noct.   Once past Tenebrae, it's on to, uh,  Niflheim. We've a chance to take a brief furlough in Tenebrae, courtesy of the first secretary. Camelia comes through.   That's great!  Should we...drop by?   I don't know.   Goddammit, how long you gonna mope like this? We're not stopping in Tenebrae. You know where we're headed and what we're out to do. So get a goddamn grip already.   I've got a grip. That's why I'm here. Don't give me that crap.   What're'you-- Not when you won't wear the ring, let alone look at it. She gave her life so you could do your duty, not so you could feel sorry for yourself. And Ignis, he took one for you. You should be apologizing, not him.   But no, first you drag your feet and put it on him for not being able to drive us. Then when the Secretary goes out of her way to book the train for us, you make them drag the Regalia on board!? To be fair, it was Camelia who offered first...(with the Regalia)     Think you got it bad? Take a look around! Your eyes still work.   Where're you off to? I need some fresh air.  

----

Aranea. The hell happened here?   You should see the manor, come with me.   Just come on, I'll fill you in along the way.   The daemons wrought havoc? There's more to it than meets the eye, speaking of which.   Long story.   Oh. Where's your chipper little sidekick? Wish we only knew.   Sorry to hear. So if it wasn't the daemons, that leaves… The imperial army.   The army that you fight for.   Fought for. My men and I are in the search and rescue business now.   Huh.   Why the attack on their own territory? A "royal welcome," they called it. Orders were to leave nothing standing.   Petty, I know. They'd already sent a unit after your train. More like a battalion. Call him "Chancellor Overkill." So it's Ardyn. The Chancellor is running some circus.

Perhaps I'm fortunate I can't see what 's become of the once-beautiful manor. I can only imagine the grief of the people, who did nothing to deserve this.

----

To liven things up, I thought I'd take you on a stroll down memory lane. Of course, memories decay with time. Sadly, the sister went off into the deep, but I've brought the brother back as best I can. Don't be shy, you're hardly strangers. No...that can't be him. Wait a sec. What do you mean "him"? Who are you seeing? Ravus. Unbelievable. I wanted to finish it between us, but not like this. He was a person... Made into a daemon. But is it truly the work of imperial science?

FLASHBACKS

Ah, the young prince is recovering well. Who...? Gentiana, a Messenger. The prince has read of our kind? Oh! I tried to, but I only know what Luna told me. Lady Lunafreya. Yeah, Lunarffr...Luna. It is heartening to see the future King and the Oracle enjoy such familiarity. The fate of our world may depend on it.   Prince Noctis. It's open! Uh, come in. How are you feeling today?   Gentiana?   Merely...well-wishing. Ah,  how thoughtful of you. So, did she frighten you?   Maybe...just a little.  She's gone. An old trick of hers. Here one minute, gone the next.   She gives me the creeps.   Funny you should say that: even my brother grows timid around Gentiana.   Even Ravus?   Yes, but you've nothing to fear. The Messengers have our best interests at heart. In time, you will see.   ...If you say so.

EPISODE IGNIS

I see my suspicions were correct. Bravo. But why have you aligned yourself with the darkness? I like to think the darkness has aligned itself with me. After all, we share a mutual odium of those thrust into the light and beloved by all, hailed by the masses as their "chosen savior." And what is your aim? Why, to bring the King to his senses. With your sister's help, of course.

ルシス王国とニフルハイム帝国の間に停戦協定が結ばれることになり、 戦争の終結を祝うムードに包まれているルシス王国。 その平和を象徴するかのように、王子ノクティスと、 テネブラエの神凪の力を継ぐルナフレーナとの結婚式が 隣国アコルドで行われることになった。 ノクトは結婚の儀に向かうため、親友３人とともに車の旅をすることになる。

EPISODE 01 旅立ち Departure

A ceasefire agreement is to be finalized between the Kingdom of Lucis and the Nifilheim Empire.

The Kingdom of Lucis is celebrating the end of the war, and as a symbol of this peace Prince Noctis and the Oracle Lunafreya are to be wed in Accordo.

In order to get to the ceremony, Noctis travels via car with his three best friends.

FINAL FANTASY XV  EPISODE 09 水神召喚の儀 出港準備を整えてカエムを訪ねると、コルの姿があった。 コルは自分がレギスを守れなかったことをノクト達に詫びるが、シドはそれがレギスの決断だったと諭す。 そしてノクトが何かしらの決断を迫られたときは、「仲間」を頼るよう遠回しに告げた。 翌朝、４人はイリスやタルコットに見送られて意気揚々と船出する。 表向きは、水神リヴァイアサンの力を授かり、帝国を倒す力を得るために── 内心ではオルティシエにいるルーナとの再会を少しだけ期待しながら。

EPISODE 09 水神召喚の儀 Summoning Leviathan

Whilst preparing for departure, Cor appeared at Caem. He apologized to Noctis about being unable to protect Regis, but Cid states that it was Regis' own choice in the matter, and that when Noctis is faced with certain difficulties to rely on his friends.

The next morning, the group head out and are sent off by Iris and Talcott. To obtain the power of the Water Goddess Leviathan -- to gain the power to defeat the empire -- though, also to reunite with Luna who is already in Altissia.

FINAL FANTASY XV  EPISODE 14 10年ぶりの再会 星の力で強固に守られた神影島は、いかなる使骸も、アーデンでさえも立ち入ることはできなかった。 ノクトは徐々に欠けていく月の光を指輪に集めながら、仲間や世界の無事を信じてひたすらに待ち続ける。 そして月がほぼ消滅しかけたころ「時は来た」と久方ぶりに聴こえた神の声と共に、密室に出口が現れる。 ノクトがすべての星の力を得て牢を出たそのとき、世界には10年の時間が流れていた。

EPISODE 14 １０年ぶりの再会 Reunion after 10 years

Angelgard, so strongly protected that none may enter, not even Ardyn. Noctis continues to wait collecting moonlight for the Ring, earnestly hoping for the safety of both his friends, and the world.

When the moon has all but disappeared, an exit appears within the prison, and he hears the voice of a god that says "The time has come". By the time Noctis has gotten all of the power of the star, and has left the prison finally, ten years have passed within the world.

為何我沒創意？

這是一個實驗，一個自己否定自己的實驗，世間一切若都是荒謬，人更必須清醒地思考荒謬本身，明明白白地剖開自己的腦袋，尋找一個一個問題的答案。我們邀請楊曉芙（Sharon）來完成這個實驗，她過去從一個問題 — 「咩係創意」，繼而發現另一個問題 —「點解覺得自己冇創意」，接著產生更多更多問題，於是她將這個發現創意的旅程拍成一部紀錄片《原來我 creativity is》，於是有更多人開始問「咩係創意」。接著她又創造一個互動網頁《原來我，未定型》來問每個人「你覺得自己有冇創意」，「點解冇創意」，和每個人對話。

這個否定自己的實驗她先不談創意，來談時間、空間、尋求改變的過程等，而一切對話的起點是「什麼是自己」，因為她說創意，其實就是尋找自己。

問：什麼是自己？

答：一個袋子，一個容器，不斷裝載東西。這容器因為收集的東西不斷改變。它不是線性的，它是圓形的，不知道為什麼我腦子裡出現一個宇宙（笑），它也是一個不斷延伸的形狀。

問：為什麼是一個袋子？

答：可以裝載不同東西，過程中不斷收集東西，我們的人生比較像這樣，我覺得那就是自己。袋子裡除了收集，也要不斷取出，這是最重要的過程。

問：取出為何重要？

答：實現或分享就像是打開袋子、和人對話，新的東西裝進袋子，這個容器就會不斷變形變大。但實現出來的東西是什麼？我們每天都在完成一些事情，就算整天賴在床沒有活動，我們至少在呼吸，所以視乎我們用什麼價值來定義這些事情。

問：該如何尋找「我是誰」？

答：很多剛讀完中學、或大學、或工作幾年的人，這三大迷失階段，都在問自己是誰。我覺得這是永恆的問題，也是誤導的問題，因為我們假設自己只有一種，比如只有一個身份，但事實是我們可以在不同情況下做不同的自己。

問：所以不必追尋「我是誰」的定義嗎？

答：不要定型，反而是我如何製造一個空間能容納不同的自己。我們是一個容器，一個不斷成長不斷變化的容器，一個容器裡面可以很複雜。要接受我們是很複雜的人，也要製造一個可以接納複雜的環境。

以前的方式是，我讀什麼、做什麼、有男朋友、事業是什麼等等，每樣東西都是線性的，並且很容易被定義，但是這個世界並不容易定義了，所以有些人當Slash，開始放棄定義自己了，不再是平日一種正職、周末一種興趣的自我介紹方式。人本來就是複雜的，沒有那麼容易被簡化，我可以很喜歡炒股，同時很文青，很ibank，有些人立刻說「咁即係假文青啦﹗」不需要如此簡化！

問：為什麼人會簡化自己？

答：我們會因為別人的看法而簡化自己，我們想被人接受，所以才用別人想要的方式表達自己，比如別人問你又做律師又做畫家那你是什麼，我們只好選擇一個答案，那我就是律師吧。這樣想來，如果集體的接受能力高些，大家能做更多不同的自己。

問：那麼如何改變自己、做更多不同的自己？

答：改變這東西是永恆的，你唯一不能改變的就是改變本身。

我為什麼開始拍紀錄片，就是因為我想看見改變，不公義的事情能有所改變。如果個人來說，這是我生命所追隨的，改變一些東西，例如不公平的，很老套地，我想humanity更好。

問：但怎樣才算「更好」呢？

答：我最近的想法是，大家有沒有表達自己的自由，每個人有基本的人權把自己的故事說出來。比如我在做的工作，每個人也有SAY，你可以找自己、把自己表達出來，創造一個平台讓他們發聲，或者鼓勵別人發聲。

改變是一個很自然的過程，如果我們有好奇，那麼便有新的訊息加入這個袋子、這個容器裡，然後會有改變，如同成長的過程，過程很重要，問題是我們有沒有給予過程足夠的時間。

問：說到時間，為什麼香港人永遠冇時間？

答：我覺得很有趣，無論在什麼國家，每個人可以分配的時間就是24小時，人要做的就是根據care about來分配時間，但為什麼偏偏在香港就那麼喘不過氣來？

問：因為要搵錢？

答：人和人之間製造了一種愈跑愈快的節奏，但我們能不能把人當成個體，而不是一群在跑步的群體來看。

問：和空間有關嗎？

答：如果我們有很舒服的空間，我們就願意在空間裡花時間 — 如果辦公室不舒服，那我不想在此久留，地鐵很逼，我不想在此久留，回到家裡很吵我也不想久留。如果這三個空間成為很舒服的空間，那會不會突然多了很多時間？

問：停下，是因為空間令你舒服？

答：至少不會因為「我不想在這裡」，很想逃跑至下一處地方，要逃跑的感覺令我覺得沒有時間，我也不肯定。

問：有些人的時間單位以小時計，有些人以秒計？

答：我以前在美國就是那種邊開車邊吃沙律邊講電話，覺得自己很勁呀很power woman啦，最後發現人會癲癲地，回去看見室友就很狂躁，這並不代表我很成功呀，但當下我覺得自己很勁。這是大概6年前的事。

問：是否做很多事情才代表那天活得有價值呢？

答：我在新的studio裡，將會做一個實驗：一個星期大概有兩天，在那兩天裡只能進行一件事，不可以做其他事情，而且這件事不會做完，一整天必須study它，這樣我能不能在這件事情上做得最出色最全面，我想做這樣的實驗，看看一件事做得深入時會不會引發其他想法。

問：建立「自己」可能需要設定一些框框？

答：沒有這樣的框框可能會浮浮沉沉，每天好像在忙些什麼，連腦子也很忙。讓自己設定一些框框，比如說今天是沒有Whatsapp的星期四，你便可以在裡面全力地活動，如此一來便為自己創造了延伸自己的空間、時間。

“…………………………”

“……！？”

瘫坐在角落的褐发青年突然睁开眼，似乎是从睡梦中惊醒，但他此刻比起从普通的梦中醒来，更像是从可怕的噩梦中挣脱出来。他抱着头回忆着梦中的一切，或者说、倒映在梦里的那曾经经历过的现实……

The brown hair man who sitted in concer as death opened his eyes suddenly, seemed to wake up with a start from sleep. But at the moment, he was more likely to get rid of the terrible nightmare than waked up from the ordinary dream. He held his head and looked back upon everything in his dream, or the reality he had seen in his dream...

那个穿着紫色衣服的男人，他的头发也是一样的深紫，而那双闪着凶光的亮紫色眼睛里、此刻只剩下狰狞而纯粹的恶意。青年甚至能看到自己在他紫色双��里倒映出来的模样，还有自己被他手里的消防斧砍中颈部的一瞬间——

The purple man, his hair is the deep purple like his clothes, and in those bright purple eyes with fierce gleam, there was only the ferocious and pure malice at the moment. The young man could even see himself reflected in these purple eyes, and the moment he was cut in the neck by a fire axe in his hand——

“！！！！”

青年下意识抬起手摸了摸自己的脖子，头还在、但是脖子上有明显曾经断开又缝合起来的痕迹，看来梦里的一切真的不只是梦……他当然还记得，颈部被撕裂的瞬间，头部沿着抛物线飞了出去，掉下来的头狠狠地砸在地上的疼痛感，眼睁睁看着自己的身体倒下，以及那个男人嘴角隐忍着但却又忍不住露出的笑意……

The young man subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck. His head was still there, but his neck was marked by marks that had been broken and sewn up. It seemed that everything in the dream was not just a dream... He remembered, of course, the moment the neck was torn, the head flew out along the parabola, the pain of the head falling down hard on the ground, the sight of his body falling down, and the smile that the man endured but could not resist...

那个男人、最后还是把自己给打倒了，自己这个曾经被认为绝对无法被打倒的男人……听上去有些自夸自擂，对吧？这个曾经是事实，但现在、什么也不是……

That man, in the end, beated me down, a man who was once considered absolutely impossible to beat down... It sounds a little boastful, isn't it? This was once a fact, but now, it's nothing...

“……慢着，难道说——”

"...Wait, it mean that——"

他突然回想起自己的同伴，为了阻止那个男人、拯救“他们”的那些同伴们，现在怎么样了？

Suddenly he remembered his companions, who wanted to stop the man, save "them", how are they now?

“小鸡姬卡……狐狸海盗霍斯……还有”

"Chica the Chicken.....Foxy the Pirate Foxy....And....."

小兔邦尼。

Bonnie the Bunny.

青年——费兹熊弗雷迪——突然想起了自己最重要的搭档，自己曾经作为舞台主唱时最重要的贝斯手，也是那位让自己倾心的男人，或者更准确一点的用词——恋人。

The young man——Freddy Fazbear——Suddenly remembered his most important partner, the most important bassist he ever played as a lead singer on the stage, the man who attracted him, or, more accurately, his sweetheart.

机械玩偶居然会产生爱情，甚至互相之间成为恋人，这真是件十分搞笑的事、对吧？但是他们的确成为了恋人，同样是机械玩偶、同样是理论上无法产生爱情的存在、甚至同样是设定上的男性，但是他们还是相爱了……真的是、不可思议，不是吗？

It's funny how animatronic can create love and even become lover with each other, isn't it? But they did become lovers, also animatronics, equally theoretically incapable of producing love, even the same set of men, but they still fell in love... It's really incredible, isn't it?

弗雷迪有点过于担心自己的爱人，而下意识导致起身的动作显得有些急促导致的重心不稳差点摔倒，但他还是稳住自己的立足点，然后四处看来看去似乎想辨认出现在自己所在的地点。

Freddy was too worried about his lover, and subconsciously got up in a hurry that caused him to lose his center of gravity, but he kept his footing and looked around as if he wanted to identify where he was.

周围的灯光十分昏暗，以至于视野范围能看到的东西不多，但是幸好弗雷迪他的眼睛有夜视功能，所以这种程度的黑暗根本不值一提。从四周的装潢来看自己无疑还是在披萨店里，但是空荡荡的房间和四处的电线水管、看来自己应该不是在一个公开开放的房间里。

The lights were so dim that there wasn't much to see, but Freddy's eyes had night vision, so the darkness wasn't worth mentioning at all. He was still in the pizzeria, as far as the decoration was concerned, but the empty room and the electricity and water pipes everywhere seemed not to be in an open room.

“这里是……零件服务房？”Freddy立刻反应过来自己的所在地——那个闲置需要整修的玩偶的地方，“这样说的话……为什么Bonnie他们……？”他记得之前跟那个紫色衣服的男人战斗的事，为了保护那几个孩子、Bonnie他们不可能就这样袖手旁观。他不知道其他人的情况，但是如果他们把那个紫衣人打倒的话……那么只有自己在这里也说得通了。

"There is... Part & Service Room? Freddy immediately responded to his location——the place where let the unused animatronics needed to be repaired lay idle. "If so... Why Bonnie them...? " He remembered he was fighting with the man in purple, for protect thost children, Bonnie and others couldn't just stand by. He didn't know about other people, but if they beated down the purple man... Then only myself made sense here is plausible to him.

弗雷迪稍微松了口气，这样看来似乎只有自己一个被打倒了，先不管别的什么有用没用的、只要孩子们平安无事就好——

Freddy breathed a little relief, so it seemed as if only one of him own had been beated down, no matter what else was useful or useless, as long as the children were safe and sound——

“……弗雷迪？”

"...Freddy?"

他听到了那个熟悉声音的呼唤，虽然听上去有些沙哑和带着杂音，但是明显是那个已经刻在自己程序中枢里的男人的声音，他立刻朝声音传来的方向转过头去——

He heard the call of the familiar voice, though hoarse and murmuring, but apparently the voice of the man who had been engraved in the centre of his program, and immediately turned in the direction of the voice.

“邦——”

"Bon——"

他愣住了。

He was stunned.

…………………………………………………………

邦尼觉得此时此刻的一切都他妈的糟透了。

Bonnie thought everything was fucking awful.

他从来没想过自己居然连一个人类都无法打倒，自己这么一个、以力量自居的机械玩偶，在这个男人面前简直不堪一击。

It never occurred to him that he could not even beat down a human, a animatronic, with strength of he take pride, was simply vulnerable to the man.

他们之中最强的弗雷迪、居然被一把有些生锈的消防斧就这样轻易砍倒。这是他亲眼看见的，就在他出来打算去找突然离开的弗雷迪的时候，他看到那个紫色的男人从弗雷迪身后窜出来、抡起斧头就这么往他脖子上一砍——

Freddy, the strongest leader among them, was so easily cut down by a rusty fire ax. He saw it with his own eyes, and as he came out to look for Freddy, who had suddenly left, he saw the purple man jump out of Freddy's back, swing his axe and slash him in the neck like this——

他想喊住弗雷迪，他想让他反应过来身后的危险，他想……救他。

He wanted to shout Freddy, he wanted him to react to the danger behind him, he wanted to... Save him.

但是这一切都已经来不及了。

But all this is too late.

Steamセールオススメなやつ

セールの度に人のオススメリスト見るの楽しいから自分もやってみたかった

言わずもがなじゃん

Dark Soulsシリーズ 言わずもがななんだけどマジで面白くて２０２１年が溶けた。死ぬのがセラピーになる。それ以上に退廃した世界にある死生観感じられる世界がサイコーに良い。慎重に進めばそこまで死なないし魔法・弓の遠距離攻撃、白霊（NPC・オンラインプレーヤー）のサポートシステム使えば「進めない」ことはそうそうないと思う、我慢強くやったときの爽快感、アイテム説明文を読む楽しみ、NPCに罵られたりして気持ちよくなれる。サイコー、２もやろう。

Half-Life/Portalシリーズ シリーズって書いたけどHalf-Lifeは２しかやってない…これもまたディストピアンな世界観がよく、それ以上にHLはアクション、Portalはパズル、GLaDOSやTurretsとかCoreのマシンのセリフがコメディカルで可愛くて、でも残酷な節もあり、良い。セールのたびにいつも安くなる。とりあえずOrange Boxかコンプリートパック買っとけば良いと思う、なぜならスゲエ安い。ちなみに３は出ない。

割とよく死ぬMetroidvania

Oriシリーズ アート・音楽・レベルデザイン何とっても最高。割とよく死ぬけどすぐ生き返られるのでストレスフリー。続編の２からは戦闘システムが入り、オートセーブ化した。 優しいけど切ない世界観・ストーリーなにとっても好き。あと単純に爽快なアクション、サイコ～。

Hollow Knight 言わずもがななんだけど、本当に面白い。かなり死ぬが、上達したときの実感が気持ちいい。Metroidvaniaではレベルデザインの重要性がデカイ気がするけど、そこが本当に丁寧に作られていて、実力とともに行けるところが増えるときの楽しさ。なにもないエリアもないし、loreを気にする場合はそれぞれの場所のストーリー性も○。

日本語化されてないが…

Beginner's Guide The Stanley Parableの作者であるDave Wredenさんの作品。ナレーターが作者、というメタな描写で「作品と作者」、「受け手と作り手」のジレンマのような関係性をなんとも言えない手法で伝え��くる。（これも「受け手の勝手」だけど） Daveさんのブログに過去あったのだけど、個人的な経験からというのもあったのかなと思うところもありかなり訴えかけてくるものがあった。多分一生話題にする。

Psychonautsシリーズ キャラクターの精神世界が舞台になるカルト的な人気のある３Dプラットフォーマー。クラウドファンディングで続編への資金を募って、最近になってようやく２が発売された。E3とかでも宣伝されてたのでローカライズを期待してたが、日本語やロシア語など他���語ローカライズへのリソースが厳しかったらしい、悲しい。 2000年代のバンカズとかマリオ世代には刺さる操作性に加えて、ブラックユーモア光るキャラクターと世界観。トラウマや依存症など、割と避けられる題材を恐れずにコメディカルにトゥーン調に伝えてくる。それぞれの世界で全くアクション性が変わってきて、それもまた遊園地のアトラクションみたいで楽しい上、セリフが膨大でNPCキャラクターがずっとお互いに喋っているのを隣で聞いてるだけで面白い。のでローカライズいつかされるといいよね…。

Oxenfree ストーリーと音楽・アートが秀逸で、青春している若者の中に超自然的な存在が介入してくる感じが良いし、探索しながらキャラクターのセリフなどでそれぞれのことをもっと知れたり、話が進んでいく手法がとてもいい。最近続編も発表されて楽しみながら、日本語化される様子はまったくない。

カテゴリよくわかんないけど好きなの

Outer Wilds 個人的な2021GOTY。四つ目星人の宇宙飛行士となり広大な宇宙に旅立って、宇宙の謎を解こう！という探索・パズル・ミステリー・ホラー（？）なゲーム。なんかともかくネタバレが出来ないゲーム、なぜならこのゲームは基本的にはじめはなにもわからない……そのなかで点と点をつなぎ合わせて、最後にすべてがつながったときの経験が強烈すぎた。宇宙という抗えない自然の力のなかで彷徨っているのが、一人であるけど孤独ではない感覚が個人的には癒やしだった。ただ個人的に万人受けするゲームだとは思っていないし、遊び方に正解があるゲームではないとも思うので、一番はマイペースに宇宙の探索を楽しむことなのかも。本編楽しめたらDLCもやりたくなると思うからセットのArchaelogist Edition買えばいいと思う。

Transistor Hadesを作ったSupergiant Gamesの作品。BastionとかPYREとかもいいけどクリアできてないので（…）声の失った歌姫となって、剣になっちゃった恋人とともにディストピア破壊するぜ！みたいなのがざっくりストーリーだけど、でもそれが美しいアートと音楽、またwalk and talkなキャラ（剣）のセリフで伝えられてくるのがマジ良い。 戦闘システムがユニークである程度の時間が経つと使える「時を止める」システムを使うとリアルタイムなHack and slashアクションから、頭を使う戦闘に変化してこれも楽しい。スキルもいっぱいなので色々ビルドを試したりニューゲーム何回もやったりも楽しい。 とりあえずSupergiantのゲームは全部とてもよいので全部買えばいいと思う。

Little Nightmares 子どもの悪夢を絵本みたいな世界観で描く、不気味だけどカワイイホラー（？）ゲーム。アートディレクションと世界観がともかく良くて、話の全容について理解できているとは言えないけど「子供の頃見た悪夢」の雰囲気が大好き。 ゲームとしてはそんなに難しくなく、シンプルな操作感にほどほどの難易度のパズルとステルス。

Sonic Mania もともとソニックファンが作ったMODが公式認定されて販売された（みたいな感じだった気がする）ゲームらしく、も～ホント愛がある。ソニックで大事にされているスピード感と、過去のミニゲーム、音楽、ドット、キャラクターへの愛が丁寧にこれでもか！って作られてる。でも私は初代クラシックソニックをやっておらずManiaが初ソニックでした。ええ……知ったふりなのサイテーじゃん……。ともかく愛、カワイイ、楽しい。

Risk of Rain 2 ローグライト３Dアクションゲーム。慣れるまでそこそこ死ぬけど、慣れてきたあとにビルドとか役割考えながら一人・複数人でやるのが楽しい。キャラ・フィールド・ボス追加の大型DLCも近々あるので、今やって損はない（多分）。 ちなみに前作となる１も ゲーム性は一緒ながらドット絵２Dでだいぶ違う、２とloreが繋がっているので合わせて買っても良さそう。

もうタイピング疲れた、完
