Episode 20 : Necessary Killing / 第20話『必要な殺し(Hitsuyona Koroshi)』
*Green colored words are only in anime, not in original manga, and we usually call them "ani-ori(anime-original)".
ヴィアベル(おっかねぇな… おそらくは物体を切り裂く魔法。魔法としては単純な部類だが、軌道が見えねぇ。すべてを防ぐのは無理だ。だが…)
Viaberu (Okkaneena… Osorakuwa buttaio kirisaku maho. Mahoto shitewa tanjunna burui daga, kidoga mienee. Subeteo fusegunowa murida. Daga…)
Wirbel (Now that’s scary. She’s probably using magic that cuts through physical objects. It’s a simple type of magic, but I can’t see its trajectory. It’s impossible to block all of them, but…)
ヴィアベル「どうした、追撃しねぇのか?」
Viaberu “Doshita, tsuigeki shineenoka?”
Wirbel “What’s the matter? You’re not going to follow up on that?”
ユーベル「少し暴れすぎたかな。」
Yūberu “Sukoshi abare-sugita kana.”
Übel “I might’ve gone a bit too hard.”
ヴィアベル「そうだな。お前の魔法の射程は5メートルくらいだろ。」
Viaberu “Sodana. Omaeno mahono shateiwa go-mētoru kurai daro.”
Wirbel “Maybe. The range of your magic is about five meters, isn’t it?”
ユーベル「ご名答。で、どうするの?また基礎的な魔法で殴り合うの?」
Yūberu “Gomeito. De, dosuruno? Mata kisotekina mahode naguri-aruno?”
Übel “Correct. So, what do we do now? Are we going to whale on each other with basic spells again?”
ヴィアベル「いや、その必要はねぇ」
Viaberu “Iya, sono hitsuyowa nee.”
Wirbel “No, that won’t be necessary.”
ーーーーー
エーレ「あいつが使うのは、品性のまるでない、勝つための卑怯な魔法。今ヴィアベルと戦ってる子、たぶん殺されちゃうわよ」
Ēre “Aitsuga tsukaunowa, hinseino marude nai, katsutameno hikyona maho. Ima Viaberuto tatakatteru ko, tabun korosare-chauwayo.”
Ehre “His magic is devoid of character. It’s underhanded, for the sole purpose of winning. The girl fighting Wirbel now will probably be killed.”
フェルン「では。」
Ferun “Dewa.”
Fern “Now, then.”
エーレ「飽和攻撃…!?これだけの数の攻撃魔法を一度に操るなんて…!?…こんな力技…馬鹿じゃないの…!?品性の欠片も無い…!! …あ… …捌ききれない…」
Ēre “Howa-kogeki…?! Koredakeno kazuno kogeki-maho’o ichidoni ayatsuru nante…?! …Konna chika-waza…Bakaja naino…!? Hinseino kakeramo nai…!! …A… …Sabaki-kirenai…”
Ehre “A saturation attack? How can she control so many attack spells at once? This is an absurd feat of strength. It doesn’t have a shred of character. I can’t… handle them all.”
ーーーーー
ヴィアベル「見た者を拘束する魔法(ソルガニール)」
Viaberu “Soruganīru.”
Wirbel “Sorganeil.”
ユーベル「体が動かない…」(魔力も操作できないな… 強力な拘束魔法か。こんなのがあるんなら、自力でシュティレ捕まえればいいじゃん。まぁシュティレが見つけられなければ無用の長物か…)
Yūberu “Karadaga ugokanai…” (Maryokumo sosa dekinaina… Kyoryokuna kosoku-mahoka. Konnanoga arun-nara, jirikide Shutire tsukamae-reba iijan. Maa Shutirega mitsuke-rare-nakereba muyono chobutsuka…)
Übel “I can’t move.” (I can’t control my mana, either. It’s a powerful binding spell. If he has this, why didn’t he catch a Stille himself? Though I suppose it’s useless if he can’t find one.)
ヴィアベル「俺の魔法は、目に収めた奴の動きを封じる魔法だ。俺がお前から目を逸らさない限り、お前は動けない。その状態のお前なら簡単に殺すことができる。」
Viaberu “Oreno mahowa meni osameta yatsuno ugokio fujiru mahoda. Orega omae-kara meo sorasanai-kagiri, omaewa ugokenai. Sono jotaino omaenara kantanni korosu-kotoga dekiru.”
Wirbel “My spell binds those I can see. As long as I keep looking at you, you won’t be able to move. I could easily kill you in your current state.”
ユーベル(しかもこいつ手加減していたな。本当に殺すつもりなら、あの奇襲段階で動きを封じていたはずだ。)
Yūberu (Shikamo koitsu tekagen shite-itana. Hontoni korosu tsumori nara, ano kishu-dankaide ugokio fujite-ita hazuda.)
Übel (Not only that, but he was holding back. If he’d truly intended to kill me, he would’ve bound me during his initial ambush.)
ヴィアベル「ラストチャンスだ。シュティレを置いて失せろ。」
Viaberu “Rasuto chansuda. Shutireo oite usero.”
Wirbel “This is your last chance. Leave the Stille and walk away.”
��ーベル(なんだ。つまらない。せっかく殺し合いができると思ったのに。結局シュティレを脅し取ることが目的か。)
Yūberu (Nanda. Tsumaranai. Sekkaku koroshiaiga dekiruto omottanoni. Kekkyoku Shutireo odoshitoru-kotoga mokutekika.)
Übel (Aw, he’s no fun. And I thought I’d finally found a fight to the death. So threatening me into handing over our Stille was his goal after all.)
ユーベル「んー?待って。なんでそんなこと命令する必要あるの?動けなくなった私から、シュティレを奪えばいいじゃん。」
Yūberu “Ñ? Matte. Nande sonna koto meirei-suru hitsuyo aruno? Ugokenaku-natta watashi kara, Shutireo ubaeba iijan.”
Übel “Wait a minute. Why do you need to order me to do that? You could just take the Stille from me while I couldn’t move.”
ユーベル「視界に全身収めてないと無理なのか。多人数相手に使わないわけだ。」
Yūberu “Shikaini zenshin osamete-naito muri nanoka. Taninzu aiteni tsukawanai wakeda.”
Übel “So you need to keep my entire body in view. No wonder you don’t use it against multiple targets.”
ヴィアベル「目を狙いやがったな…」
Viaberu “Meo nerai-yagattana…”
Wirbel “You were aiming for my eyes.”
ユーベル「合理的な判断でしょ。」
Yūberu “Goritekina handan desho.”
Übel “That’s the logical choice, isn’t it?”
ヴィアベル「いいや。俺がお前の立場だったら殺すために首を狙う。それで戦いは終わりだからな。お前にはそれができたはずだ。戦場でも同じようなことをした奴らはいたぜ。そいつらは全員、殺しを楽しむ変態だった。お前はここで殺しておくべきだな。」
Viaberu “Iiya. Orega omaeno tachiba dattara korosu tameni kubio nerau. Sorede tatakaiwa owaridakarana. Omaeniwa sorega dekita hazuda. Senjodemo onaji-yona koto’o shita yatsurawa itaze. Soitsurawa zen’in koroshio tanoshimu hentai datta. Omaewa kokode koroshite-oku bekidana.”
Wirbel “No. If I were you, I’d go for the kill and attack the neck. That would end the fight. You should’ve been able to do that. There were people on the battlefield who did similar things. They were all perverts who enjoyed killing. I guess I should kill you now.”
ユーベル「女子供を殺したことあるの?」
Yūberu “Onna kodomo’o koroshita koto aruno?”
Übel “Have you ever killed women and children before?”
ヴィアベル「ねぇと思ってんのか?」
Viaberu “Neeto omotten-noka?”
Wirbel “You think I haven’t?”
ユーベル「ふーん。どんな地獄を見てきたの?」
Yūberu “Fūn. Donna jigokuo mite-kitano?”
Übel “Huh. What hells have you seen?”
ヴィアベル「時間��ぎか?いいだろう。乗ってやるよ。俺ら北部魔法隊は対魔族専門の傭兵だが、有事には国同士の戦争にだって動員される。人ってのは、人の弱い部分をよーく知ってる。戦争に女子供を駆り出すなんて、悪魔の所業は珍しいことでもなんでもねぇ。地獄なんかじゃない。北の果てじゃ日常だ。」
Viaberu “Jikan-kasegika? Iidaro. Notte-yaruyo. Orera Hokubu Mahotaiwa tai-mazoku senmonno yoheidaga, yuji-niwa kunidoshino sensoni datte doin sareru. Hitottenowa, hitono yowai bubun’o yōku shitteru. Sensoni onna kodomo’o karidasu-nante, akumano shogyowa mezurashii kotodemo nandemo nee. Jigoku nankaja nai. Kitano hateja nichijoda.”
Wirbel “Trying to buy time? Fine. I’ll play along. The Northern Magic Corps are mercenaries who specialize in fighting demons, but in times of need, we’re mobilized to fight in wars between nations. People know exactly what makes other people weak. The fiendish act of sending women and children to war wasn’t uncommon. It wasn’t hell. It’s commonplace in the far north.”
ユーベル「そう。もういいよ。」
Yūberu “So. Mo iiyo.”
Übel “I see. I’ve heard enough.”
ユーベル「殺さないの?私はね、その人が得意とする魔法は人生や人間性に大きく係わっていると思っている。相手の動きを封じるこの魔法はまるで、殺すまでの猶予を欲しがってるみたいだ。」
Yūberu “Korosanaino? Watashiwane, sono hitoga tokuito suru mahowa jinseiya ningen-seini ookiku kakawatte-iruto omotteiru. Aiteno ugokio fujiru kono mahowa marude, korosu-madeno yuyo’o hoshigatteru mitaida.”
Übel “You’re not going to kill me? I think the magic a person specializes in is strongly related to their life and nature. A spell that binds your opponent feels like a way to delay killing them.”
ユーベル「そっか。時間稼ぎに乗ったのも、そのためか。驚いたよ。とうに両手は血で染まっているのに、まだ人間でありたいと思っているんだ。」
Yūberu “Sokka. Jikan-kasegini nottanomo sonotameka. Odoroitayo. Toni ryotewa chide somatte-irunoni, mada ningende aritaito omotte-irunda.”
Übel “I see. That’s why you let me buy time, too. Your hands are already drenched in blood, and yet you still want to remain human.”
ヴィアベル「そうだ。これは殺す覚悟のための時間だ。でもな嬢ちゃん。俺は躊躇い臆することはあって���、必要な殺しは全部やってきたぜ。」
Viaberu “Soda. Korewa korosu kakugono tameno jikanda. Demona Jo-chan. Orewa tamerai okusurukotowa attemo, hitsuyona koroshiwa zenbu yatte-kitaze.”
Wirbel “That’s right. I use this time to prepare myself to kill. But you know, miss… Though I may hesitate, I’ve always killed everyone I had to.”
ヴィアベル「じゃあな嬢ちゃん。」
Viaberu “Jaana Jo-chan.”
Wirbel “Later, miss.”
フェルン「動かないでください。」
Ferun “Ugokanaide kudasai.”
Fern “Don’t move.”
ヴィアベル「冗談だろ…エーレがやられたのかよ?」
Viaberu “Jodan daro… Ērega yararetano-kayo?
Wirbel “You’re kidding, right? You beat Ehre?”
ヴィアベル(全く気配がしなかった。)
Viaberu (Mattaku kehaiga shinakatta.)
Wirbel (I didn’t sense her at all.)
ヴィアベル「驚いたぜ。魔力を完全に消せんのか。シュティレを捕らえたのは、お前だな。」
Viaberu “Odoroitaze. Maryokuo kanzenni kesennoka. Shutireo toraetanowa omaedana.”
Wirbel “I’m surprised. You can completely conceal your mana? You must be the one who captured the Stille.”
ユーベル「運が良かっただけだよ。偶然、シュティレの塒(ねぐら)を見つけて、その子は鳥を捕まえる魔法を師匠から教わっていた。あんたはなんでも捕まえられるのに、よっぽど運が悪かったみたいだね。」
Yūberu “Unga yokatta dakedayo. Guzen, Shutireno negurao mitsukete, sonokowa torio tsukamaeru maho’o shisho-kara osowatte-ita. Antawa nandemo tsukamae-rareru-noni, yoppodo unga warukatta mitaidane.”
Übel “We just got lucky. We happened upon a Stille’s roost, and her master had taught her a spell that captures a bird. And you’ve got a spell that binds anything, so I guess you just got really unlucky.”
ヴィアベル「まったくだぜ。ツイてねぇ。エーレと戦っていたな。あいつはどうした?」
Viaberu “Mattaku daze. Tsuitenee. Ēreto tatakatte-itana. Aitsuwa doshita?”
Wirbel “Seriously. I’ve got no luck. You were fighting Ehre. What happened to her?”
フェルン「殺しました。」
Ferun “Koroshi-mashita.”
Fern “I killed her.”
ヴィアベル「第一次試験の合格条件は、今日の日没までにシュティレを保有していることと、パーティーメンバーが全員揃っていること。俺達の負けだな。退かせてもらうぜ。」
Viaberu “Dai-ichiji-shikenno gokaku-jokenwa kyono nichibotsu-madeni Shutireo hoyushite-irukototo, pātīmenbāga zen’in sorotte-irukoto. Ore-tachino make dana. Hikasete morauze.”
Wirbel “The conditions for passing the first test are possessing a Stille by sunset tonight and having all your party members present. We lost. I’m getting out of here.”
ユーベル「私を殺すんじゃなかったの?」
Yūberu “Watashio korosunja nakattano?”
Übel “I thought you were going to kill me.”
ヴィアベル「不合格が確定したんだ。もう不要な殺しだ。じゃあな。」
Viaberu “Fugokakuga kakutei shitanda. Mo fuyona koroshida. Jaana.”
Wirbel “I’ve already failed the test. Killing you would be unnecessary. Later.”
ヴィアベル「別に背中を狙ったって構わないぜ。不要な殺しが必要な殺しに戻るだけだ。」
Viaberu “Betsuni senakao nerattatte kamawanaize. Fuyona koroshiga hitsuyona koroshini modoru-dakeda.”
Wirbel “You can attack me from behind if you want. You’ll just be turning an unnecessary kill back into a necessary one.”
フェルン「ユーベル様。」
Ferun “Yūberu-sama.”
Fern “Ms.Übel.”
ユーベル「…わかってるよ。嘘、上手じゃん。」
Yūberu “…Wakatteruyo. Uso jozu jan.”
Übel “I know. You’re a good liar.”
フェルン「今のうちにラント様の援護に向かいましょう。」
Ferun “Imano uchini Ranto-samano engoni mukai-masho.”
Fern “We should go to assist Mr.Land while we can.”
ユーベル「大丈夫でしょ。あのメガネ君、相当な食わせ者だよ。」
Yūberu “Daijobu desho. Ano megane-kun sotona kuwase-mono dayo.”
Übel “That four-eyes will be fine. He’s quite the pretender.”
ーーーーー
シャルフ「勝負ありだな。」
Sharufu “Shobu ari dana.”
Scharf “It’s over.”
ラント「凄いね。これ。鋼鉄に変えた無数の花弁を正確に操って防御を掻い潜った。でもこれ我流でしょ。我流の人って、基礎が疎かになっていることが多いんだよね。」
Ranto “Sugoine. Kore. Kotetsuni kaeta musuno kaben’o seikakuni ayatsutte bogyo’o kaikugutta. Demo kore garyu desho. Garyuno hitotte, kisoga orosokani natteiru kotoga ooindayone.”
Land “This is impressive. You turned countless petals into metal and controlled them precisely to slip them through my defenses. But this is your own invention, isn’t it? Spells like that often neglect the fundamentals.”
ラント「僕はさ、知らない相手と戦う前に必ず様子見をするようにしている。君の弱点はよくわかったよ。たぶん僕の勝ちだ。」
Ranto “Bokuwasa, shiranai aiteto tatakau maeni kanarazu yosumio suru-yoni shiteiru. Kimino jakutenwa yoku wakattayo. Tabun bokuno kachida.”
Land “I always watch and wait when fighting an opponent I don’t know. I know exactly what your weaknesses are. I’ll probably win.”
シャルフ「饒舌だな。利き腕を潰されて、どう勝つつもりだ?降伏しないのなら、次は首を切り落とす。」
Sharufu “Jozetsu dana. Kiki-udeo tsubusarete do katsu tsumorida? Kofuku-shinaino-nara, tsugiwa kubio kiri-otosu.”
Scharf “Talkative, aren’t you? How do you intend to win when I’ve ruined your dominant arm?
If you won’t surrender, then I’ll take your head off.”
ラント「だから、これは戦う前の様子見なんだって。君、魔力探知苦手でしょ。」
Ranto “Dakara, korewa tatakau maeno yosumi nandatte. Kimi, maryoku-tanchi nigate desho.”
Land “I told you, I’m still observing you before the battle begins. You’re not very good at detecting mana, aren’t you?”
シャルフ「幻影魔法…!!」
Sharufu “Gen’ei maho…!!”
Scharf “Illusion magic.”
ラント「実体はあるから正確には僕の分身かな。」
Ranto “Jittaiwa arukara seikaku-niwa bokuno bunshin kana.”
Land “It has substance, so strictly speaking, it’s more like a clone.”
シャルフ「……いつから…」
Sharufu “……Itsukara…”
Scharf “How long―”
ラント「最初からだよ。第一次試験が始まったときから。僕は他人を信じていないからね。」
Ranto “Saisho-karadayo. Dai-ichiji-shikenga hajimatta tokikara. Bokuwa tanin’o shinjite-inai karane.”
Land “Since the beginning, when the first test started. I don’t trust other people.”
ーーーーー
ヴィアベル「何が殺しただ。あのクソ女、平然と嘘つきやがって。」
Viaberu “Naniga koroshitada. Ano kuso-onna, heizento uso tsuki-yagatte.”
Wirbel “Killed her, my ass. That bitch lied like it was nothing.”
ヴィアベル「おい、起きろエーレ。」
Viaberu “Oi, okiro Ēre.”
Wirbel “Wake up, Ehre.”
エーレ「うーん…」
Ēre “Ūn…”
ヴィアベル「魔力切れかよ。だっせぇな。魔法学校の首席だろ。」
Viaberu “Maryokugire kayo. Dasseena. Maho-gakkono shuseki daro.”
Wirbel “Out of mana? Pathetic. Didn’t you graduate at the top of your class?”
エーレ「…一般攻撃魔法の物量で押し切られたわ。捌ききれなかった。信じてないでしょ。」
Ēre “…Ippan kogeki-mahono butsuryode oshikiraretawa. Sabaki-kirenakatta. Shinjite naidesho.”
Ehre “She overwhelmed me with ordinary offensive magic. I couldn’t block them all. You don’t believe me, do you?”
ヴィアベル「いいや。馬鹿みたいに正面から戦いやがって。お前なら勝てねぇ勝負じゃなかったはずだ。」
Viaberu “Iiya. Baka-mitaini shomen-kara tatakai-yagatte. Omaenara katenee shobuja nakatta hazuda.”
Wirbel “No, I do. Why’d you attack her head-on like an idiot? It’s not like you couldn’t have won.”
ヴィアベル(だが一般攻撃魔法だけでこれほどの芸当ができるとしたら、あの女は相当な化けもんだな。)
Viaberu (Daga ippan kogeki-maho dakede korehodono geitoga dekiruto shitara, ano onnawa sotona bakemon dana.)
Wirbel (But if she could pull off this stunt with ordinary offensive magic alone, she must be one nasty monster.)
ヴィアベル「行くぞ。シャルフと合流する。」
Viaberu “Ikuzo. Sharufuto goryu suru.”
Wirbel “Let’s go. We’ll meet up with Scharf.”
エーレ「待ってよ。歩けないんだけど。」
Ēre “Matteyo. Arukenain-dakedo.”
Ehre “Wait. I can’t walk.”
ヴィアベル「仕方ねぇな。」
Viaberu “Shikata neena.”
Wirbel “Oh, fine.”
エーレ「ちょっと。物みたいに運ぶつもり?おんぶして。」
Ēre “Chotto. Mono-mitaini hakobu tsumori? Onbu shite.”
Ehre “Are you really going to float me there like an object? Carry me on your back!”
ヴィアベル「なんで俺がこんなこと…」
Viaberu “Nande orega konna koto…”
Wirbel “Why am I doing this?”
エーレ「シャルフの反応は近いの?」
Ēre “Sharufuno hannowa chikaino?”
Ehre “Do you sense Scharf nearby?”
ヴィアベル「あの茂みの向こう側だ。」
Viaberu “Ano shigemino muko-gawada.”
Wirbel “He’s on the other side of those bushes.”
ヴィアベル「おい、シャルフ。エーレを運ぶの、手伝って…」
Viaberu “Oi, Sharufu. Ēreo hakobuno tetsudatte…”
Wirbel “Hey, Scharf. Help me carry…”
シャルフ「ヴィアベル… おんぶしてくれ… 痺れて動けん…」
Sharufu “Viaberu… Onbu shitekure… Shibirete ugoken…”
Scharf “Wirbel, carry me on your back. I feel numb and can’t move.”
ヴィアベル「クソ。マジでなんなんだよ…」
Viaberu “Kuso. Majide nan-nandayo…”
Wirbel “Damn it, Seriously, what the hell is going on?”
エーレ「…この音、何かしら?」
Ēre “…Kono oto nani kashira?”
Ehre “What’s this sound?”
ヴィアベル「雨音だろ。結界の外で雨が降り始めたんだ。まるで俺の今の心境だぜ。あと二、三時間もすれば日没。第一次試験終了だ。戦闘不能2名。こんな状況じゃ、シュティレはもう奪えねぇ。俺たちの不合格は確定だな。」
Viaberu “Amaoto daro. Kekkaino sotode amega furi-hajimetanda. Marude oreno imano shinkyo daze. Ato ni-san-jikanmo sureba nichibotsu. Dai-ichiji-shiken shuryoda. Sento-funo ni-mei. Konna jokyoja, Shutirewa mo ubaenee. Ore-tachino fugokakuwa kakutei dana.”
Wirbel “Probably the rain. It’s started raining outside the barrier. It’s like my current mental state. The sun will set in two or three more hours. The first test will end. Two of us are out of the fight. We can’t steal anyone’s Stille like this. We’re going to fail.”
エーレ「それなのに私達を助けてくれるんだ。優しいのね。」
Ēre “Sore-nanoni watashi-tachio tasukete kurerunda. Yasashii-none.”
Ehre “But you’re helping us anyway. You’re a nice guy.”
ヴィアベル「ここでお前らを捨ててってもいいんだぜ。」
Viaberu “Kokode omaerao sutetettemo iindaze.”
Wirbel “I don’t mind ditching you two here, you know.”
シャルフ「見捨てないで…」
Sharufu “Misutenaide…”
Scharf “Please don’t abandon us.”
ヴィアベル「泣くんじゃねぇよ。男だろ。」
Viaberu “Nakunja neeyo. Otokodaro.”
Wirbel “Don’t cry. You’re a man, aren’t you?”
エーレ「その優しさが貴方が魔族と戦う理由なのかしら?貴方は私の村も救ってくれたわ。」
Ēre “Sono yasashisaga anataga mazokuto tatakau riyu nanokashira? Anatawa watashino muramo sukutte kuretawa.”
Ehre “Is that kindness the reason you fight demons? You saved my village, too.”
ヴィアベル「馬鹿が。優しさなんかで命張れるか。人間は欲望のために戦うんだよ。俺の場合は下心だ。故郷に好きな奴がいたんだ。今から丁度29年前。北側諸国の魔族の動きが活発化して、そいつは一家揃って中央に逃げていっちまった。俺は馬鹿なガキでな。格好付けちまったんだ。」
Viaberu “Bakaga. Yasashisa-nankade inochi hareruka. Ningenwa yokubono tameni tatakaun-dayo. Oreno baaiwa shita-gokoroda. Kokyoni sukina yatsuga itanda. Imakara chodo niju-kyu-nenmae. Kitagawa-shokokuno mazokuno ugokiga kappatsuka shite, soitsuwa ikka sorotte chuoni nigete icchimatta. Orewa bakana gakidena. Kakko tsuke-chimattanda.”
Wirbel “Are you stupid? I couldn’t risk my life for kindness. People fight for their own desires. In my case, I had ulterior motives. I was in love with a girl from my hometown. Exactly 29 years ago, the demon activity in the northern lands increased. She and her entire family fled to the central lands. I was a dumb kid. I decided to show off for her.”
幼いヴィアベル「クソったれな魔族共は、俺が全員ぶっ殺してやる。だから、そん時はこの村に帰って来い。」
Osanai Viaberu “Kusottarena mazoku-domowa, orega zen’in bukkoroshite-yaru. Dakara, sontokiwa kono murani kaette-koi.”
Young Wirbel “I’ll kill all those shitty demons. When I do, come back to this village.”
ヴィアベル「4つか5つのガキの頃の話だ。もう顔も名前も覚え��ゃいねぇ。」
Viaberu “Yottsuka itsutsuno gakino korono hanashida. Mo kaomo namaemo oboecha inee.”
Wirbel “I was only four or five years old. I don’t even remember her face or name anymore.”
エーレ「馬鹿みたいね。」
Ēre “Baka mitaine.”
Ehre “What an idiot.”
ヴィアベル「ああ。馬鹿みたいだ。」
Viaberu “Aa. Baka mitaida.”
Wirbel “Yeah, I’m an idiot.
ヴィアベル「…帰りはまた海路か。俺、船酔い酷ぇんだよな…」
Viaberu “…Kaeriwa mata kairoka. Ore, funayoi hideen-dayona…”
Wirbel “Are we sailing back home again? I get seasick easily.”
エーレ「私のお爺ちゃん紹介しようか?一級魔法使いだから陸路で… …ねぇ、ヴィアベル。」
Ēre “Watashino ojiichan shokai shiyoka? Ikkyu-mahotsukai dakara rikurode… …Nee, Viaberu.”
Ehre “Want me to introduce you to my grandpa? Since he’s a first-class mage, we can travel by land to… Hey, Wirbel.”
ヴィアベル「どうした?」
Viaberu “Doshita?”
Wirbel “What is it?”
エーレ「あれ。」
Ēre “Are.”
Ehre “Look.”
ヴィアベル「ふざけやがって。今までの苦労はなんだったんだ。ツキが回ってくんのが遅すぎんだよ。」
Viaberu “Fuzakeyagatte. Imamadeno kurowa nandattanda. Tsukiga mawatte kunnoga ososugindayo.”
Wirbel “You can’t be serious. What was all that effort for? Took long enough for luck to go my way.”
ーーーーー
カンネ「フリーレン。あの子、さっきから何もしてこないけど…」
Kanne “Furīren. Anoko, sakkikara nanimo shite-konai-kedo…”
Kanne “Frieren, she’s not doing anything.”
デンケン(エルフか… 優秀な魔法使いだな。ラオフェンの魔法なぞ一度見せれば二度は通じんだろう。)
Denken (Erufuka… Yushuna mahotsukai dana. Raofenno maho-nazo ichido misereba nidowa tsujin-daro.)
Denken (An elf, huh? She’s a skilled mage. I doubt Laufen’s magic would work a second time now that she’s seen it.)
デンケン「だが、その一度で十分。これは殺し合いではない。」
Denken “Daga sono ichidode jubun. Korewa koroshiai dewa nai.”
Denken “But just once was enough. We’re not trying to kill each other here.”
カンネ「…消えた?」
Kanne “…Kieta?”
Kanne “She vanished?”
ラヴィーネ「フリーレン!!シュティレが…」
Ravīne “Furīren!! Shutirega…”
Lawine “Frieren, the Stille…”
フリーレン「…取られたか。ふーん。面白い魔法だ。」
Furīren “…Toraretaka. Fūn. Omoshiroi mahoda.”
Frieren “She took it, huh? That’s an interesting spell.”
ーーーーー
ゼンゼ「結界の中(ここ)は雨でも快適だな。」
Zenze “Kokowa amedemo kaiteki-dana.”
Sense “It’s comfortable inside the barrier even when it’s raining.
ゲナウ「そういえば第二次試験の試験官はお前だったな。ゼンゼ。」
Genau “Soieba dai-niji-shikenno shikenkanwa omae dattana. Zenze.”
Genau “Come to think of it, aren’t you the proctor for the second test, Sense?”
ゼンゼ「今回も有望な受験者を何人も死なせたみたいじゃないか。ゲナウ。」
Zenze “Konkaimo yubona jukenshao nanninmo shinaseta mitaija naika. Genau.”
Sense “Looks like you killed a few promising test-takers again, Genau.”
ゲナウ「笑わせる。有望な奴はこの程度では死なんよ。それに一級魔法使いにはそれだけの価値がある。お前もそれはわかっているはずだ。」
Genau “Warawaseru. Yubona yatsuwa kono teidodewa shinan’yo. Soreni ikkyu-mahotsukai niwa soredakeno kachiga aru. Omaemo sorewa wakatte-iru hazuda.”
Genau “Don’t make me laugh. No promising test-taker would die from this. Besides, first-class mages simply have that much worth. You should know that.”
ゼンゼ「それにしても人が悪い。魔法使いの試験に、魔力探知が通用しない獲物を選ぶだなんて。捕まえられるかどうかは運任せ。これは争奪戦に見せかけた対人戦だ。」
Zenze “Soreni-shitemo hitoga warui. Mahotsukaino shikenni, maryoku-tanchiga tsuyo-shinai emono’o erabuda-nante. Tsukamae-rareruka dokawa un-makase. Korewa sodatsu-senni misekaketa taijin-senda.”
Sense “Either way, choosing a target immune to mana detection for a mage test wasn’t nice. Whether or not they’ll catch one comes down to luck. This is a battle masquerading as a competition.”
ゲナウ「運も実力の内だ。それに運以外でシュティレを捕まえた連中もいるようだ。あと三時間で日没だ。激化するぞ。対人戦が。」
Genau “Unmo jitsuryokuno Uchida. Soreni un-igaide Shutireo tsukamaeta renchumo iruyoda. Ato san-jikande nichibotsuda. Gekika suruzo. Taijin-senga.”
Genau “Luck is a skill. And some test-takers seem to have captured a Stille without relying on luck. The sun will set in three hours. The battle will grow more intense.”
ゼンゼ「誰が勝ち上がると思う?」
Zenze “Darega kachi-agaruto omou?”
Sense “Who do you think will survive?”
ゲナウ「三分の一は残るだろう。その中にデンケンは確実にいる。奴の実力は一級魔法使いと比べても遜色はない。」
Genau “San-bunno-ichiwa nokoru-daro. Sono nakani Denkenwa kakujitsuni iru. Yatsuno jitsuryokuwa ikkyu-mahotsukaito kurabetemo sonshokuwa nai.”
Genau “A third will remain. Denken will be among them. His skill is comparable to a first-class mage’s.”
ゼンゼ「富と権力にしか興味の無いご老体が、なんで今更こんな試験に。目的はやっぱり“特権”?」
Zenze “Tomito kenryokuni shika kyomino nai gorotaiga nande imasara konna shikenni. Mokutekiwa yappari ‘tokken’?”
Sense “What’s an old man only interested in wealth and political power doing getting certified now? Is he doing it for the privilege after all?”
ゲナウ「さあな。あの爺さんも、もう年だ。思うところでもあるのだろうさ。」
Genau “Saana. Ano jiisanmo mo toshida. Omou tokoro demo aruno-darosa.”
“Who knows? He’s getting up there in years. I’m sure he’s got something on his mind.”
ーーーーー
フリーレン「ねぇ、今の子が使った魔法ってさ。高速で移動する魔法(ジルヴェーア)でしょ。南側諸国の山岳民族に伝わる民間魔法だ。」
Furīren “Nee, imano koga tsukatta mahottesa. Jiruvēa desho. Minamigawa-shokokuno sangaku-minzokuni tsutawaru minkan-mahoda.”
Frieren “The spell that girl used was Jilwer, wasn’t it? That’s a folk spell used by a mountain tribe in the southern lands.”
デンケン「ああ、そうだ。」
Denken “Aa. Soda.”
Denken “That’s right.”
カンネ「ジルヴェーアって?」
Kanne “Jiruvēa tte?”
Kanne “What’s a Jilwer?”
ラヴィーネ「高速で移動する魔法。」
Ravīne “Kosokude ido-suru maho.”
Lawine “A spell that allows you to move at high speed.”
フリーレン「だったら二人はそのまま隠れていた方が良かったと思うよ。あの子だけシュティレを持って逃げればいい。」
Furīren “Dattara futariwa sonomama kakurete itahoga yokattato omouyo. Anoko dake Shutireo motte nigereba ii.”
Frieren “Then the two of you should’ve remained hidden. She could’ve simply taken the Stille on her own.”
デンケン「ラオフェンはまだ未熟者でな。魔力の痕跡を残しすぎた。お前なら容易に追跡できるはずだ。フリーレン。」
Denken “Raofenwa mada mijuku-mono dena. Maryokuno konsekio nokoshi-sugita. Omaenara yoini tsuiseki dekiru hazuda. Furīren.”
Denken “Laufen is still inexperienced. She left too many traces of mana behind. You could have easily followed her, Frieren.”
デンケン「現にお前は儂らを煩わしく思っておる。」
Denken “Genni omaewa washirao wazurawa-shiku omotte-oru.”
Denken “You must really find our presence troublesome.”
フリーレン「まぁね。私のこと知っているんだ。」
Furīren “Maane.
Frieren “Well, yes. You know who I am?”
デンケン「儂等の世代で、その名を知らぬ魔法使いなどいない。直接この目で見るのは初めてだが、一目見て確信した。お前は勇者一行の魔法使い、フリーレンだ。」
Denken “Washirano sedaide sono nao shiranu mahotsukai-nado inai. Chokusetsu kono mede mirunowa hajimete-daga, hitome mite kakushin shita. Omaewa yusha-ikkono mahotsukai, Furīren da.”
Denken “There isn’t a mage of our generation who doesn’t know that name. It’s my first time seeing you with my own eyes, but I knew who you were as soon as I saw you. You are Frieren, the mage from the party of heroes.”
カンネ「……有名なの?」
Kanne “……Yumei nano?”
Kanne “Is she famous?”
ラヴィーネ「伝説的な魔法使いだ。もしかしたらとは思っていたが…エルフってマジで年取らねぇんだな。」
Ravīne “Densetsu-tekina mahotsukaida. Moshika-shitara towa omotte-itaga… Erufutte majide toshi toraneen-dana.”
Lawine “She’s a legendary mage. I knew it might be possible, but… I guess elves really don’t age.”
フリーレン「結局、堂々と挑んでくるんだ。私たちのことをずっと嗅ぎまわっていたでしょ。もっと卑怯な手で来るかと思っていた。」
Furīren “Kekkyoku dodoto idonde-kurunda. Watashi-tachino koto’o zutto kagi-mawatte-itadesho. Motto hikyona tede kurukato omotte-ita.”
Frieren “You’re challenging me rather openly. You’ve been sniffing around us this whole time, haven’t you? I was expecting something underhanded.”
リヒター「いや、十分卑怯さ。デンケンがお前の足止めをしている間に、俺がそっちのガキ二人どちらかを殺す。」
Rihitā “Iya, Jubun hikyosa. Denkenga omaeno ashidomeo shiteiru aidani, orega socchino gaki futari dochirakao korosu.”
Richter “This is plenty underhanded. While Denken keeps you busy, I’ll kill one of those two kids.”
フリーレン「なるほど。パーティーメンバーが欠けて合格条件を満たせなくなれば、こっちは退かざるを得ない訳だ」
Furīren “Naruhodo. Pātī menbā ga kakete gokaku-joken’o mitasenaku-nareba, kocchiwa hikazaruo enai wakeda.”
Frieren “I see. If we can’t pass because we’re lacking a party member, we’ll be forced to back off.”
ラヴィーネ「おもしれぇ。やってみろよ。」
Ravīne “Omoshiree. Yatte-miroyo.”
Lawine “Interesting. Try me.”
カンネ「ラヴィーネ、こいつ強いよ。」
Kanne “Ravīne, koitsu tsuyoiyo.”
Kanne “Lawine, he’s strong.”
ラヴィーネ「知ってるよ。」
Ravīne “Shitteruyo.”
Lawine “I know.”
デンケン「やめろリヒター。儂らは足止めができればそれでいい。勝てる勝負だ。」
Denken “Yamero Rihitā. Washirawa ashidomega dekireba sorede ii. Kateru shobuda.”
Denken “Don’t, Richter. All we need to do is keep them busy. We can win this fight.”
リヒター「デンケン。俺はあんたはもっと無慈悲で冷徹な人間だと思っていたんだがな。宮廷魔法使いだろう。政敵を消したことだって一度や二度じゃないはずだ。」
Rihitā “Denken. Orewa antawa motto mujihide reitetsuna ningendato omotte-itan-dagana. Kyutei-mahotsukai daro. Seitekio keshita kotodatte ichidoya nidoja nai hazuda.”
Richter “Denken, I thought you were a more merciless and cold man. You’re an imperial mage, aren’t you? I’m sure you’ve killed political enemies more than a couple of times.”
デンケン「一級魔法使いに、人死にの価値があるとは思えんだけだ。」
Denken “Ikkyu-mahotsukaini hitojinino kachiga arutowa omoen dakeda.”
Denken “I simply don’t believe being a first-class mage is worth killing someone.”
フリーレン「それだけは同意見かな。一級魔法使いなんてただの称号だ。それほどの価値があるとは思えない。」
Furīren “Soredakewa do-iken kana. Ikkyu-mahotsukai nante tadano shogoda. Sorehodono kachiga arutowa omoenai.”
Frieren “I can agree with that. ‘First-class mage’ is just a title. It’s not that valuable.”
リヒター「呆れたものだな。まさか“特権”も知らずに試験に挑んだのか?」
Rihitā “Akireta monodana. Masaka ‘tokken’mo shirazuni shikenni idonda-noka?”
Richter “You can’t be serious. You mean you took this test without knowing the privilege that title grants?”
フリーレン「特権?」
Furīren “Tokken?”
Frieren “Privilege?”
リヒター「半世紀以上前に突如として歴史の表舞台に現れ、人類の魔法使いの頂点に君臨した、大陸魔法協会の創始者、大魔法使いゼーリエは――魔王軍との長い戦火の時代の、洗練された魔法使いを未だに追い求めている。」
Rihitā “Han-seiki-ijo-maeni totsujoto shite rekishino omote-butaini araware, jinruino mahotsukaino chotenni kunrinshita, Tairiku Maho Kyokaino soshisha, dai-mahotsukai Zērie wa――Mao-gun tono nagai senkano jidaino, senren sareta mahotsukaio imadani oimotomete-iru.”
Richter “More than fifty years ago, the great mage and founder of the Continental Magic Association, Serie, suddenly appeared to reign over humanity’s magic. She’s still searching for mages refined during the long war against the Demon King.”
リヒター「だから彼女は一級魔法使いの座に就いた者に特権��与えることを約束した。一つだけ望んだ魔法を授けるとな。」
Rihitā “Dakara kanojowa ikkyu-mahotsukaino zani tsuita mononi tokken’o ataeru koto’o yakusoku shita. Hitotsu-dake nozonda maho’o sazukeru tona.”
Richter “So she promised to grant a special privilege to anyone who achieved the rank of first-class mage. She will grant them any one spell they desire.”
リヒター「ゼーリエは人類の歴史上のほぼ全ての魔法を網羅する、生ける魔導書。この地上で全知全能の女神様に最も近い魔法使いだ。巨万の富を得ることも、大病を癒やすことも、絶大な力を手に入れることだってできる。望んだ魔法が授けられるということは、魔法使いにとって願いが叶うに等しいことだ。」
Rihitā “Zēriewa jinruino rekishijono hobo subeteno maho’o morasuru, ikeru madosho. Kono chijode zenchi-zenno-no Megami-samani mottomo chikai mahotsukaida. Kyomanno tomio erukotomo, taibyo’o iyasukotomo, zetsudaina chikarao teni irerukotodatte dekiru. Nozonda mahoga sazuke-rareruto iukotowa, mahotsukaini totte negaiga kanauni hitoshii kotoda.”
Richter “Serie is a living grimoire who knows nearly every spell in humanity’s history. She’s the closest mage in our world to the all-knowing and all-powerful Goddess. You could acquire massive wealth, cure the gravest of diseases, or gain overwhelming power. For mages, to gain whatever spell they want is equivalent to having a wish granted.”
リヒター「人ってのは単純でな。おかげで今や一級魔法使いは人外を疑うほどの化け物揃いだ。それほどの価値があるんだよ。」
Rihitā “Hitottenowa tanjundena. Okagede imaya ikkyu-mahotsukaiwa jingaio utagau-hodono bakemono-zoroida. Sore-hodono kachiga arundayo.”
Richter “People are simple. So modern first-class mages are all monsters who barely seem human. It’s that valuable a privilege.”
フリーレン「そう。」
Furīren “So.”
Frieren “I see.”
デンケン「馬鹿馬鹿しい。」
Denken “Baka-baka-shii.”
Denken “This is nonsense.”
リヒター「デンケン。あんたみたいに特権なんてどうでもいいってほうが少数派だ。始めるぞ。デンケン、そいつを一分足止めしろ。それだけあれば二人とも殺せる。」
Rihitā “Denken. Anta-mitaini tokken-nante do-demo iitte-hoga shosuhada. Hajimeruzo. Denken, soitsuo ippun ashidome shiro. Soredake areba futari-tomo koroseru.”
Richter “Denken, people like you who don’t care about the privilege are the minority. Let’s begin. Denken, keep her busy for one minute. That’s enough time for me to kill the two of them.”
デンケン「何度も言わせるな、リヒター。たかがガキ二人だ。たった三時間寝かし付け���だけ。ガキの御守りくらいできるだろう。」
Denken “Nandomo iwaseruna, Rihitā. Takaga gaki futarida. Tatta san-jikan nekashi-tsukeru-dake. Gakino omori-kurai dekirudaro.”
Denken “Don’t make me say it again, Richter. They’re just kids. We’re simply going to put them to sleep for three hours. You can handle looking after some children, can’t you?”
リヒター「デンケン。」
Rihitā “Denken.”
Richter “Denken.”
デンケン「こいつは儂が叩き潰す。それでよかろう。」
Denken “Koitsuwa washiga tataki-tsubusu. Sorede yokaro.”
Denken “I’ll crush her. That should be enough.”
リヒター「老いぼれが。大地を操る魔法(バルグラント)!」
Rihitā “Oiborega. Barugranto!”
Richter “You old fart. Bargland.”
デンケン「若い奴は血気盛んでいかんな。」
Denken “Wakai yatsuwa kekki sakande ikanna.”
Denken “The young are too hot-blooded.”

I bought a little Rock to propose to dazai with
Careful he's armed.

You guys seemed to like the previous one so here's another
I was a bit beyond exhausted when working on Kunikida so I hope I don't wake up to notice any major mistakes- TmT I'm sorry if it's messy anywhere-
Dazai is holding a: Type 89 Battle Rifle
-"The Howa Type 89 was introduced to replace the Howa Type 64 battle rifle in frontline units, entering service in 1989. It has remained Japan's principal service rifle since then. Small numbers of the Type 89's successor, the Howa Type 20, were purchased in 2020."

Japan unveils next generation assault rifle
Japan’s Ministry of Defense publicly unveiled the newest Howa Type 20 assault rifle, designed to replace the 5.56x45mm Type 89 that was adopted 30 years ago.
The first time in over 30 years, Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) members will get new assault weapons.
The new assault rifles were displayed to the media on May 18 at the Defense Ministry in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward.
As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the rifle will be indigenously produced in Japan by Howa. Each rifle is expected to cost around 275,000 yen – the equivalent to $2,600. This is calculated from the 2019-20 military budget.
The Japanese Army currently has around 150,000 active personnel, so the rifle requirement will be substantial.
GSDF is replacing its members’ rifle for the first time in 31 years since fiscal 1989 and the pistol for the first time in 38 years since fiscal 1982.
The new rifles were designed to be more resistant to water and corrosion so they could be used in amphibious operations on the remote island chain, which stretches about 1,200 kilometers from the Osumi islands in Kagoshima Prefecture to Yonagunijima island in Okinawa Prefecture.
