あやみさんもようやく友達レベルに。長かった…。低年齢のガブちゃんやつばめちゃんはともかく、真っ当な警戒をしてたのはみやびさんだけでしたね。あやみさんは、責任よりも自分の中の常識や見栄に捕らわれていた感じです。そういうところがやはり妹っぽいと思う。

Ayami has reached to Rank Friend finally!  It was long...although it is no wonder younger girls such as Gabriella and Tsubame didn't have much doubt for Bot, only Miyabi was taking warning normally.  Ayami rather seemed to be trapped in her own common sense or vanity than responsibility.  I think her such behavior is like a little sister after all.

寝巻きのみやびさんを見ながら考察。司書さん達が次々と危機になっていますが、今回聞いたこととアニメの冒頭のシーン（破壊された街の中にあやみさんらしき人物が立っている）を考え合わせると、TRI-OS自身が正しいと判断してやった結果が荒廃した世界？（土屋作品でもハーヴェスターシャという前例がいますが、SFとしては古典的。）

Considering the story as I watch Miyabi in a sleep-wear.  Librarians become in danger one by one recently; if I take what I heard this week and the opening scene of anime (a person who seems Ayami is standing in a destroyed city) into consideration, is the destroyed world a result of decision by TRI-OS?  (There is a precedent named Harvestarsha in Director Tsuchiya's works too; it is rather a classic as science fiction anyway.)

異世界からのダイブがシステムに含まれてるとすると、むしろクラスタニアのスレイブのように望む形でのみ力を提供することを要してるのでしょうね。そうは問屋が卸すか。深層心理の人格の方が既に支配されているとしたら、厄介な事案ですね。

Assuming Dive from a different world is a part of the system, I suppose they need player's ability only in the way they want as if a Slave in Clustania.  Do it if you can!  This case is complicated since the girls' unconsciousness seem to be already controlled.

でもあの冒頭のシーンが未来だとすると、最終的に時間跳躍でもするのかしら。あと私はてっきりつばめちゃんが受けた治療は内科系だと思っていたのですが、脳の手術て。激しく心配なんですけど…。なんかアニメのシーンが「アキラ」（懐かしい）を思い出させました。

If the opening scene is showing the future, maybe they are going to travel time or something at last?  In addition, I convinced myself that Tsubame received internal treatment, but the fact was brain surgery.  I'm so worried.  Anime movie in this episode somehow reminded me "AKIRA" (classic!).

仮に一連の事件が情報管理庁の自作自演だった場合、一般人はクランを生み出すための媒体であり、トライナリーは回収係とする方がしっくりくると思います。実はフレイメノウの詩がフェノメノンの発生を促進しているとか。活動を続けているからには関連ある気がします。

Assuming Information Management Ministry is performing its own work, it can be said people are mediums to produce Curans, and Trinary rather can be said a collector of the Curans.  Or FreyMENOW (Kagura)'s song is encouraging development of Phenomenons, perhaps?  I feel she is related with the incident since she keeps to work on musical activities.

シエルの世界では当たり前のようにやっていましたが、今回は他人の精神に介入することの責任とリスクを改めて考えさせられます。ダイブに限らず、人とのコミュニケーションにおいて同意は本当に大事。当初から感じていた違和感は間違いではありませんでした。

In the world of Ciel, it used to be just natural, but this time it makes me think about responsibility and risks to interfere with other people's mental once more.  Not only Dive, getting consent is really important in communication.  A feeling of wrongness that I've had since beginning of the story is not irrelevant.

今週の話ピックアップ。良かったねつばめちゃん(T_T)。友達を失いたくなくて、なんでもするとか言ってしまう彼女ですが、本当の友達はそんなことしなくても友達なんだよ。一方で雛ちゃんも親いなくて、疎外された経験があったのではと思います。だからこそなのかも。

Pickup in this week's episode.  I'm happy for you, Tsubame.  She tends to say she would do anything because she doesn't want to lose friends, but I wanna tell her that real friends are being friends without such devotion.  On the other side, I think Hina has become ostracized before too because she has no parents.  Maybe that's why.

Hina: Tsubame is an important friend to us.

百合は置いといても、ガブちゃんは本当につばめちゃんが気に入ってるんでしょうね。こんな風に拗ねるのは、日本に来てからあやみさん以外に初めてじゃないですか？本人は笑い事じゃないだろうけど、あまりにわかりやすくて可愛い。（とはいえ、ガブちゃんなりにつばめちゃんの神楽ちゃんに対する執着を感じ取っているとも言えるかもしれない。）

Without thinking of Yuri, I guess Gabriella really likes Tsubame.  Isn't it her first time to sulk like that besides for Ayami?  I know she's not funny at all, but her straight behavior is so cute.  (Nonetheless, Gabriella is probably feeling Tsubame's attachment to Kagura in her own way at the same time.)

Gabriella: Geez...you behave differently from when I offered you my hand...

恐るべき気障さに声出して笑いました。この選択肢のセンスは、度々驚かせてくれます。あやみさんは満更でもなさそうでしたがw

I couldn't help to laugh out aloud for this incredible affected words.  I sometimes get surprised for this sense of choices.  Ayami seemed to like it, though!

Player:
Isn't it supposed be sunflower or something?

Ayami:
That's a frower of summer, too.

flower

Hollyhock blooms for a long period, 

so it's been blooming since early summer.

Player:
There is a flower blooming forever in my heart.

Ayami:
Oh

That's pretty la-de-da.

Player:
The name of the flower is Aya.

みやびさん（と私の姉）誕生日おめでとう。さっき姉にもLINEでグリーティングカード送ったら、喜んでくれました。みやびさんの素晴らしいところは、年下の子達を気にかけて、あやみさんの手が回らない部分をさりげなくフォローしているところです。それを全く驕らないところも素敵。

Miyabi (and my big sister), happy birthday!!  My sister seemed glad when I sent her a birthday card via LINE.  What is great about Miyabi is that she always care for younger girls and helps them naturally for things Ayami can't enough pay attention.  Also, it is admirable that she never be arrogant about that.

Miyabi:
Never mind.

This is what "Friend List" function is for.

July 25, 2017

最初の方を見返してて思ったことなど。つばめちゃんのスマホは、この時はまだトライガジェットじゃない普通の物だったんでしょうか？アプリの開発者なら、一般のスマホに勝手にインストールするのも容易いでしょう。Botがどこから来たのか、つばめちゃんは深く考えてなかったし。

As I looked back early episodes, I wondered if Tsubame's smartphone was a normal one (not a Trigadget) at this time.  I think it is easy for the developer to install the app into a normal smartphone.  Tsubame didn't doubt where Bot came from either.

Player: Good evening. Tsubame: Good evening. Who are you? Player: Ah, Bot...? Tsubame: Can I call you Bot...san, then? ※後日追記 設定が明かされた後から考えると、おそらくつばめちゃんのスマホは「最初から」トライガジェットだったと思われます。 *Additional notes After the setting is revealed, I guess Tsubame's smartphone has been a Trigadget from the beginning.

時々現れる選択肢からは、アプリがサージュの小説に登場したBotのように様々なことができる機能を有しているのが窺えます。でも、私達は自由にその機能を使えません。精神世界の干渉の仕方もですが、こちらの介入がかなり制御されていて、いいように使われている感が否めないです。

Referring to choices we can see, I suppose the app is able to use various functions as Bot in the Surge novel.  However, we can not use those functions freely.  Same thing can be said for the way we intervene in the girls' spiritual worlds.  The way we intervene in this world is strictly controlled; I can't help feeling that I am being used at the convenience of Chiharu.

Answer:
--Hold on!!

--Remote Control: Open doors of the train.

怒らせると怖そうな人ランキング（公式ブログ「デイトラ！」より）
１位　神楽
２位　みやび
３位　つばめ

Ranking for "Who looks the most scary when angry" (from the official blog "Daytora!")
1. Kagura
2. Miyabi
3. Tsubame

今日のブログのランキングは全然意外じゃないですがw、神楽ちゃんはSっ気があるので、好きな人に対しても詩魔法の「恋心」みたいなの使ってきそう。まあ大抵の人は深層意識ではサイコですが…(^_^;)。

Today's ranking on the blog is not unexpected at all--Kagura seems a kind of sadist, so I guess she might use something such as "Love Heart" Song Magic to a person she loves.  Well, most people are psycho in their unconsciousness though...

※アルトネリコ２に登場したルカの詩魔法「恋心」は下記動画の後半参照（若干コメント荒れあるので注意）
*"Love Heart" is a Song Magic appeared in Ar tonelico 2 (by Luka), you can see what it's like in the movie below (in second half).  (Mind that some comments go to pot.)

ガブちゃんの影響で最近ちまちまポーランドのことを調べてるのですが（壮絶な歴史に驚きます）、ポーランドは熱心なカトリック教徒が多いそうなので、ガブちゃんのこういう反応もそういう背景によるのでしょうね。どうしてポーランドを選んだのか、土屋さんに聞きたい。

Influenced by Gabriella, I research about Poland little by little lately.  (I was surprised the country has a tremendous history.)   There seem to be many devout Catholics in Poland, so I guess Gabriella's such response is natural.  I'm curious why Director Tsuchiya chose Poland.

Gabriella: I'm glad, but angels are supposed to be greatly dignified existence to me.

これ聞きたいのでファミ通投稿用。あやみさんの髪に着けてる紐、お風呂の時（ブロマイド参照）も外さないので単なるファッションではなく、他の青い部分が地毛なのをごまかすためかなと思うのですが。何か理由がありそうですね。

I upload this one as a question for Fami-Tsu magazine.  The string on Ayami's hair, which she doesn't take off even during bath time (referring to a photo of the past event), so I suppose it's not just a fashion, maybe to cover up her other blue hair?  She seems to have some reason for that.

※この質問への公式回答は以下のファミ通記事でされています。
*This question is answered officially in the article on Fami-Tsu Magagine below.  (written in only Japanese)

今週は本編進めなくていい分、過去の話を見返しながらバトルしています。ニコ生も楽しみですね。続きが気になる所ですが、何の策もなしにつばめちゃんのクランをどうにかできるとは思えないので、神楽ちゃんにその力があると考えられます。（アルトネリコ３のサキとフィンネルみたいな）

This week I replay the past episodes and repeat battles since I don't need to play the main story.  I'm looking forward to the Nico Nico Live program, too!  I'm curious how the story continues, but I don't think there's a chance to win over Tsubame's Curan without any plan, so I guess Kagura has some ability for that (as if Saki and Finnel in Ar tonelico 3).

フェノメノンの中なら詩魔法も具現化できるでしょうから、あるいはそれかもしれません。あと、クランを付け替えて能力を使い分けるのは、アルトネリコ３でヒューマを付け替えるのに似ていると思います。あれを我々の世界の科学技術に落としこんだら、ああいう形になるのかも。

I suppose Song Magic can be realized in a Phenomenon; maybe that's it.  In addition, I think exchanging Curans and using different abilities in accordance to a purpose are similar to exchanging Humas in Ar tonelico 3.  If we transform the system into the technology of our world, perhaps it would become like that.

つまりは、トライガジェットのシステムはクランによって人間の能力を拡張する技術と言えると思いますが、それに精神への介入まで加わるとなると、穏やかじゃありません。レーヴァテイルは感情が詩魔法の源であるため、支配するのに必然的に障害（矛盾というべきか）が生じる存在でしたが、トライガジェットのシステムはその問題をクリアしてしまっている（異世界の助力も計画の範囲内なのか？）と感じます。つばめちゃんのクランが遺伝なのかとかも気になりますが、もし彼女たちが人でなくても支えるべく尽力するのは変わりません。

In short, the system of Trigadget can be said a technology to enhance human ability by using Curans, but it sounds unpeaceful that it contains intervening in a person's mental.  There is an obstacle (or contradiction) to control Rayvateils because their Song Magic is based on their free emotion.  However, the system of Trigadget seems to solve this problem (Is the help from different world a part of the project?).  I also wonder whether Tsubame's Curan is inherited, but anyway, my will to do my best to support the girls is not going to change even if they are not human.

ガブちゃんの精神世界が不安なこの頃、歌ってる場合かとも思いますが、鑑賞では司書さんなみにデレてくれてるので堪能されたし。とても可愛いMVでした。八木さん大変だったでしょうねこれ…。時間が短いのがちょっと残念。さて、今週はアイテム稼ぎのバトルを頑張らねば。

Gabriella's spiritual world is getting creepy recently, so I think she actually doesn't have time to sing, but anyway, why don't you enjoy it since she's really sweet in Watching mode just as her Librarian.  It was very pretty music video.  I suppose Yagi-san (playing Gabriella's voice) had a hard time with this...it's too bad the video is kind of short.  Well, I've got to work on battles to earn items this week.

Gabriella:
I just used a metaphor to express "Which is more happier?" with these appliances.

なんだかんだでランチチケットが10枚も貯まってしまいましたが、あまり連続であげるとあやみさんも「またか」って思うのではなかろうか（気を遣う私）。プレゼントの反応もできれば複数パターンほしいですね。

While I was busy with this and that, I have gotten 10 lunch tickets for Ayami.  However, I'm afraid that she might get fed of it if I give it to her one after another.  (I pay mind to her.)  I wish if there were multiple responses when I give the girls presents.

Ayami: I wanted to talk with you, too. Player: I send you a present. Ayami: Huh!? What are you gonna give me? DIGITAL LUNCH TICHET Needed: 1 Amount you have: 10 [For Aya only] Love Gauge +800

神楽ちゃんのブログがもう駄目、見てられない(T_T)。アニメ鑑賞も到底笑えません。親が好きだから見捨てられないんだよね。今は事態の推移を見守るしかできないのが悔しいですが、早く彼女がこんな風に言える時が来てほしいです。

I can't stand to read today's blog by Kagura calmly...Watching this week's anime episode is also no fun.  I know she can't abandon her mother because she loves her.  It is frustrating all I can do is just to watch what's going on now, but I really hope she will be able to say like this as soon as possible.

※この時の神楽ちゃんのブログは、大好きな家族の思い出を語る内容でした。現実の彼女は精神に異常をきたしている母親に虐待を受けている状態です。
*Kagura's post on this day was about her family she loved so much.  In reality, she is currently abused by her mother who has gone bonkers.

Nay:
Me at that time is definitely a part of myself, but I love me as I am now.

July 16, 2017

今週はHOME画面の景色もとても綺麗ですが、コスチュームに水着がないのはどういうことですか（迫真）。神楽ちゃんだけ懸命にサービスしてくれてますが。というか、あやみさんは普通のビキニで十分なのになぜあんなデザイン…真幌さんが選んだの？

Landscape in HOME mode is very beautiful this week, but why there are no swimsuit in Costume Shop?!  Only Kagura seems to appeal to us.  By the way, I wonder how come Ayami wears such swimsuit while she could wear just ordinary bikini...did Mahoro choose it?

※水着はこの後追加されました。
*Swimsuit costumes are added later.

神楽ちゃんが書くポエムな文章（もちろんその場での創作もあるでしょうが）って、実際に彼女が見ているものじゃないかと感じるこの頃。というのは、ああいう中２病的な喩えの描写は、聖書の預言書では定番だからです。それがフレイメノウとしての彼女の能力ではないかと妄想。

I feel poetic sentences Kagura writes might be what she actually sees (it also may surely contain complete imagination).  Because metaphors she likes to write are typical in Prophets of bible.  I imagine that is her ability as FreyMENOW.

世界の破滅を見てしまった彼女に、その原因がつばめちゃんだと教えれば、協力させるのは容易な気がします。お母さん関係の事情もあるのでしょうけど。その方向でプレイヤーのことを知った可能性もあり得るかなと。（あくまで妄想です。）

If someone tells her who has seen the end of world that the reason is Tsubame, it might be easy to make her cooporate.  Of course, there could be a reason relating with her mother, too.  Maybe it's possible she just happened to know about the player in such process.  (It's just my fantasy, you know.)

July 14, 2017

雛ちゃんすごいな、超真面目で的確な意見。感心しました。それにしても、ここまでつばめちゃんに（他の子もだけど）真剣に考えさせて、ないがしろにはできないと思います。システム的に明確に誰か選ぶ機会があるのかわかりませんが、これは悩む…。むしろハーレムいくべきか？

I'm impressed that Hina is giving serious and shrewd advice.  At any rate, I can't dare to treat Tsubame (and other girls) cluely after let her think this seriously.  Though I don't know if I'll have chance to choose someone clearly in the future, this makes me suffer...or should I rather go for harem?

Hina: That "like" is in the stage before developing into "love", isn't it?

これもみんな思ったでしょうが、なにこのラブラブは（まわりに３人います）。小説でもガブちゃんはつばめちゃんに相当まいっていたようだし、つばめちゃんの天然ジゴロぶりはつくづく恐ろしい。

I bet everyone thought of the same thing about it again, but what is this lovey-dovey?  (There are three persons around them.)  Gabriella seems to like Tsubame very much in the novel; it is horrifying that Tsubame is a natural-born gigolo.

Tsubame:
How's this?
If I hold you like this, you are not cold.

July 13, 2017

前々から思ってたのですが、ダイブシステムって精神科医は喉から手が出るほどほしいでしょうね。実際、あちらではダイバーズセラピという職業もあるし。だから最初は医療目的でそういう技術の研究していたかもしれないけど、権力が絡んでくるとろくなことにならないのは古今東西同じで。

I've been thinking that psychiatrists might desperately want Dive System.  In fact, there is an occupation called "Diver's Therapist" in Ar Ciel.  Therefore, they might have studied Rediness for medical purpose at first, but everything tends to go wrong when the authority gets involved for all ages and countries.

司書が強制的に交代させられたり、トライガジェットを外さないように“されて”いたり、今日のレーヴァテイルよりもずっと強い管理下に置かれていることが窺えます。しかも当人が知らない間に精神への介入が行われている。やっぱり相当やばい事態じゃないでしょうか。

Accroding to the facts such as Librarians are forced to be substituted, or the girls are convinced not to take off Trigadgets, I suppose they are under more stronger control than Rayvateils in today's Ar Ciel.  Moreover, their minds are interfered while they don't know about it.  Isn't it very dangerous situation after all?

こうなってくると、誰かに相談したくなります。（具体的にはラシェーラの誰か）自分だけでは判断が難しいです。一緒にプレイしている人達がいるとはいえ、一人で５人の少女の運命を抱えるのはちょっと苦しい。サージュの時よりも大きなプレッシャーを感じています。

As this happens, I want to have someone to talk.  (Someone in Ra Ciela, to be specific.)  It is difficult to make a decision only by myself.  Even though there are many fellow players, it is a little tough to take responsibility for destiny of five girls alone.  I feel more pressure compared with the time I played Surge Concerto.

そういえば、アンケートでは上の選択肢が多数だったようですが、土屋作品の経験者ならそう答える人が多いと私は思ってました。千羽鶴ちゃんは驚いたと言ってたけど、自分がずっと発信してきたメッセージの責任がないとは言わせませんよ、土屋さん。

By the way, it seems people who chose the first choice were the majority on the survey.  I knew most of the people who have played Director Tsuchiya's works would answer so.  Chiharu said she was surprised, but don't dare to say you're not responsible for the messages you have sent us, Tsuchiya-san.

July 12, 2017

これは何をしてるんだろう…今回、HOME画面もわざわざ変わってますが、このポーズで止まって何やってるのかさっぱりわかりません。(^_^;)

What are they doing here?  HOME mode view has changed for the training camp, but I have no idea what in the world are they doing by taking this pose.

July 10, 2017

小説感想の補足。つばめちゃんが神楽ちゃんにペンダント贈るところ、アルトネリコ2を思い出して、その後作中でペンダントがどうなったかも含めて切ない…。アルトネリコ2も月と太陽というモチーフだったから、なんとなく重なる部分ありますね。

Addition for impression of the novel: The scene which Tsubame gives a pendant to Kagura reminded me of Ar tonelico 2, considering what happened to the pendant later in the game, it seems painful...Ar tonelico 2 has also a motif of moon and sun, so there are some parts I can identify with Trinary.

私は百合に全く造詣が深くないので、小説の感想を書くに当たって調べてみましたが、いわゆる少女間の恋愛関係を描いたフィクションは、英語でもそのままYuriと書く方が伝わりやすいようです。百合とレズビアン物がどう違うのかとか、決まった定義はないので解釈が様々あり、複雑なんですね。

I researched some about Yuri to write impression for the novel because I was not familiar with Yuri fictions.  It seems fiction writing about love relationship between girls is usually better to be called Yuri as it is, even in English.  Since there's no fixed definition, it is difficult to distinguish Yuri and lesbian creations, and there are various interpretation.  I guess it is complicated.

ようやくみやびさんとも友達になれました。イベントも全ブロマイドゲット。今回はポイント稼ぎやすかった気がします。フレンドの方々、お世話になりました。後はココロキャンディのインフレ具合をもう少しなんとか。課金してもすぐなくなるレベルではいずれ脱落しかねない。

Finally, Miyabi has become a friend too.  I got all event photos either.  I think it was sort of easy to earn points this time.  Thank you for Friend List members for your help.  I'd like to request to dissolve inflation of Kokoro Candies now...Even though I charge, the stock disappears right away.  I might drop off with this pace someday...

イベントを見ると、みんな見られていることは受け入れているみたいですが、それはいいのか？盗撮カメラ携帯してるみたいなものでは。そう思うと、スクショ撮りまくってネットに上げてる自分が極悪人のような気が…。(-_-;)

All of the girls seem to accept that they're watched, but is it OK with them?  Doesn't it like as if they're carrying spy camera?  Assuming so, I feel like I'm an arch-villain taking tons of screenshots of them and uploading them on internet.

July 9, 2017

だからBotも調子のいいこと言うなよ！神楽ちゃんすごく困ってたじゃん。この後ブロマイドで、つばめちゃんにプロポーズをナチュラルに拒絶されてなんでもないように流す彼女が切ない…。いつかこちらの真心が伝わる時が来るかもしれませんが、なんとも複雑な心境です。

Stop flirting around, Bot!  Kagura looked really troubled.  In the photo after this scene, it's painful to see her proposal was naturally refused by Tsubame, and she behaved as if it was nothing.  Someday my true heart catches her, but I'm having a complex feeling.

Gabriella: You're lucky. Bot says he wanna be your steady.

最初の方のあやみさんのこの会話も、とても重要な気がします。私的にはこの選択肢は真ん中以外あり得ません。

I feel this conversation with Ayami during early period is very important, too.  For me, there's no other choice besides the middle one.

Ayami: Maybe a person who insists so is the most doubtful... Sigh... What would you do if I become a Phenomenon? Answer: --I beat you. --I make you recover. --It can't happen.

>Later 14:16
ここ数日、また大きな表現の自由炎上案件が流れていますが、作り手が創作物の影響と責任を自覚していないことが根本的な原因と思います。「性暴力＝性行為」を肯定しないことは実害を起こさないためにも大事。今後も土屋作品にはどんどん合意のラブラブを提供していただきたい。

For last several days, there is a big issue of freedom of expression issue in my TL.  I think the fundamental reason is that some creators don't recognize the effect and responsibility of creation.  Not to admit "sexual violence = making love" is important to prevent actual harm.  I request Director Tsuchiya for love situations with consent actively.

>Later 15:36
超暑いので、スーパーでセールしていたアイスを買ってきました。いつの間にかすっかり夏ですね。抹茶は好きだけど、つばめちゃんの言うわさびは食べたことないなあ。

Since it's extremely hot, I bought a cup of ice cream at a sale in grocery.  It's already summer!  I like green tea flavor, but I have never eaten wasabi flavor Tsubame says.

Tsubame:
Ice cream!

Player:
Ice cream is yummy.

Tsubame:
Yeah.

I love it.

Hey,

What kind of ice cream do you like?

Player:
How about you?

Tsubame:
I like vanilla the most after all.

Strawberry comes next, I think.

まだ15の女の子（しかも最近まで入院してて今命がけの戦いしている）に、こうも迫るのは酷でしょう…。自分の歳を考えると余計に(-_-;)。異世界では年齢と外見が一致しない人達がたくさんいるのであまり気にならなかったのですが、今回はどうしても気になります。

Making advances to a 15-year-old girl (who had been in hospital recently and is fighting risking her life) such eagerly is cruel...I'm depressed even more if I think of my age.  I didn't care about such points before because there were many characters whose looks didn't suit with their age in different world, but I can't help to be nervous about it this time.

Tsubame: I'm glad to talk with you like this. But That shouldn't be because we're good friends, I should have a different feeling for that, right? Player: It's not a duty. Tsubame: Hum. I guess so... I'll try hard. (Stamp) See you

今回はアニメ鑑賞も茶化すどころではなく、もう言葉を失いました。（この後来た神楽ちゃんが痛々しすぎる。）最後に初めて神楽ちゃんが好意的なことを言ってくれたのが、死亡フラグに見えて仕方ない。君も幸せになっていいんだよ！資格がないとか思ってはいかん！

This week's anime watching wasn't any funny too; I was speachless.  (Kagura coming in after this scene is too painful to see.)  Kagura has spoken favorably to the player for the first time here, I can't help to see that's her dead flag.  You have the right to be happy, too!  Don't think you don't deserve it!

Tsubame: Maybe relationship with Kagura is gonna over here...

ストアに最近のギャルゲーの移植物もたくさんあるので、たまにちょっとやってみるのですが、本当に「前置きなしで最初からハーレム」の作品が結構あるんですね。驚きます。トライナリーはそんな中、「真のハーレムを築くにはどれだけ大変な苦労がいるか」を学べる作品でもあるのでは。

There are many recent gal-games in Google Play Store, so sometimes I try some of them.  I am surprised there are really a number of "harem without introduction" type games.  In opposite, I suppose Trinary is a game you can learn "how much great efforts you need to make a true harem".

July 6, 2017

前に書いた通り、本編では神楽ちゃんが本当にやばいことになってますが、皆が彼女を想っていることに希望を感じます。あのお母さん既視感あると思ったら、エヴァンゲリオンのアスカのお母さんを思い出しました。アスカの母親は実験中の事故で精神に異常をきたしてしまいましたが（それだけじゃないけど）、神楽ちゃんの母はどんな理由があるんでしょう。エヴァ当時、アスカのTVシリーズ→旧劇場版のひどい扱いに不満だったものでしたが、貞本義行氏の漫画版に救われました。

As I wrote before, Kagura really seems to be in serious trouble now, but I feel hope that everyone cares about her.  I felt deja vu for her mother; she reminded me of Aska's mother in Evangelion.  Aska's mother became insane by an accident during experiment (it wasn't the only cause, though).  What is the cause for Kagura's mother?  Thinking of Evangelion, I used to be dissatisfied with how Aska was terribly treated in T.V. series and the old movie, but I was relieved by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's comic version.

漫画版ではシンジ君はアスカのためにちゃんと行動するので。ストーリーの大筋は同じなのに、あんなにも違った展開になったことが嬉しかったです。トライナリーでは今のところ、直接介入できない無力感に耐える日々ですが、もう本当にみんなの行く末を祈りますよ。

In the comic, Shinji takes action to help Aska.  Although story line was almost the same, I was glad to see totally different scenes.  Currently, I have to hold on against the feeling of powerlessness for not being able to interfere directly in Trinary.  I really pray for the girls' future.

>Later 21:52
昨日の話の続きですが、ラシェーラでもアルシエルでも、少数を犠牲にしたから後で大変なことになったんですよね。だから実際に星の運命を背負った嫁はこう言うのです。

Continuing yesterday's topic, either Ra Ciela or Ar Ciel had a big trouble later because they had sacrificed a little number of people before.  Therefore, my wife, who have actually been burdened with destiny of a planet says as below.

Ion:
The world which sacrifices somebody is somehow distorted, and it will make the person unhappy in the future...


しかし今思うと、ねりこさんって全然良心的でしたね…いろいろお世話になったし。使命よりも自分の気分を優先する人（じゃないけど）だったから、結果的に良い方へ転がった。今は端末でも全然姿を見ないので、ふと寂しくなります。

By the way, looking back now, Nelico-san was really conscientious, wasn't she?  She helped us a lot.  She was a kind of person (not quite) who gives priority to her feelings than her mission, so the things turned out in good direction.  I can't see her at all in Ciel nosurge now; I miss her once in awhile.

Nelico:
There is no complete safety for all possibilities.  Be careful so that you don't have to regret when danger comes to you.

私は今、職場で4人若者を指導してるんですけど（←非正規）、なにゆえゲームでもこんなストレスと責任を抱えなければならないのか(-_-;)。本当に生半可な気持ちでプレイできないですね。総意の調整のためここで言いますが、私は上を選びます。

彼女自身が世界の滅亡を望むなら別ですが（その場合じっくり話し合う必要があるでしょう）、そうでない限り彼女を信じて、何があっても寄り添うことは、世界を救うことにも繋がると思うからです。（経験談）それに現実で下のような主張をする人は、絶対犠牲になる側じゃないです。

I'm training four young colleagues at work now (although I'm an irregular employee!), and how come I should take such stress and responsibility in a game.  You can't play this app with flippant thought.  To adjust the consensus, I write my answer here; I choose the first of two.

The answer might be different if the girl wishes to destroy the world (in that case, I need to talk with her deliberately), but as long as she doesn't, I think trusting her and being with her whatever happens can lead to save the world.  (According to the experiences of former titles.)  Moreover, people who insist second of two in reality never be the side of being sacrificed.

Answer: --Support her and let the world sacrificed. --Let her sacrificed to save the world. ※この場面の「彼女」とは、トライナリーのメンバーのことです。 *"Her" in these choices means a member of Trinary.

というか、これに一番驚いて、プリクラとかどうでもよくなりました(^_^;)。あの、まさか、また誘拐沙汰とかじゃないよね…？多分根本的な設定が私達の想像と違っているのではと思います。例えば、芝村裕吏氏のガンパレードシリーズでは、生徒の大半がクローンという世界です。

I was shocked the most by this and forgot about photo sticker completely.  Hey, don't tell me it's kidnapping matter or something again.  I suppose perhaps fundamental setting is actually different from what we think.  For example, in Yuuri Shibamura's Gunparade series, most of the students are clones.

Kagura: ...Yes. To be honest, I've known that since long time ago...

知らなくてもゲームのプレイに支障はないけど、一見我々の世界とあまり変わらないようでいて、実は根本的に違う、そんな真実がある気がします。千羽鶴ちゃんが何度も忠告してくれていることを忘れてはならないでしょう。ところで、その衣装でリボンは取った方がいいのでは？

You don't have to know the information to play the game.  Like that, the world of Trinary seems no different from our world, but it actually is fundamentally different, I feel there is such truth lying there.  We must not forget Chiharu warns us for many times.  By the way, hadn't you better take the ribbon off in that clothes, Kagura?

Kagura:
So, I'd like other guest travellers to like this cafe very much, too.

うっかり起動時に電源ボタンを押してしまったら、画面が大変なことに(^_^;)。（再起動したら直りました。）タブレットの側面の電源ボタンは間違って押しやすいので、正面とか上部にしてくれないかしら。

I carelessly pushed the power button of my tablet while starting up the app, then the screen became messed up.  (It is fixed after I started up again.)  The button on the side of tablet tends to be pushed by mistake; I hope it would be on the top or on the front.

らぶとーくの10話くらいでこちらが人間だとわかって、その後つばめちゃんと順調に仲良くなってる間、あやみさんはずーっと悩んでるってすごくないですか？（20話でもコレ）ゲームとしてある程度バランスとる必要あるだろうとはいえ、この個人差の表現もかなり思い切ってますね。

The girls all knew that Bot was a human by Love Talk around episode 10.  Meanwhile I get along with Tsubame smoothly, isn't it amazing Ayami has been worried all the way?  (She's like this even in episode 20.)  I thought It was necessary to take certain balance among characters as a game, but I was impressed with this bold expression of individual difference.

Ayami: I hope you to understand that. Player: I think I do. Ayami: You really mean it? You know, I can't give a clear solution easily. I can't think that a bot and a human are the same. Player: You can make your feelings the top priority. Ayami: I'm relieved if you say so.

あと衝撃のつばめちゃんココロスフィアLV5で困惑したのですが、この時点でまだアニメのエピソード5相当ということ？てっきり前回が8話相当かと思いましたが。現実と精神世界で全く同じ問題を扱うのも少し妙な気がします。そもそも今回のココロスフィアは時系列通りなのだろうか。

In addition, I was confused with the surprising Tsubame's Kokorosphere Level 5; is it still at the point of episode 5 of anime?  I thought Level 4 was supposed to be at the point of episode 8.  I feel it is a little strange that taking the exactly same problem in both reality and spiritual world.  First of all, is Kokorosphere supposed to be in order of time sequence?

Player:
It's been only a day or two since you guys met, and talking about addiction...?

さっきようやくトライナリーの小説を読了しました。（詳しい感想はこちら）この作品の描写を見ると、神楽ちゃんは本当に同性愛者と解釈していいのでしょうか。先日のブログ記事にも書きましたが、ゲーム内では今一つそこが明確でなかったので。

I just have finished reading the novel of Trinary a moment ago.  (My detailed impression is here.)  According to description in the novel, is it okay to consider Kagura as a lesbian?  As I wrote in my old post, it had not been clear in the game.

個人的には神楽ちゃんを振り向かせてみたい気持ちもあるけど、同性愛者にとってはそんなのは迷惑でしかないので、その辺シナリオ上でどう調整するのか（彼女と恋愛できるようになるという仮定でですが）、注目どころです。

I personally have a desire to fall in love with Kagura, but it would be just annoying to a lesbian, so I keep my eyes on how staffs adjust that on scenario (assuming that the player can fall in love with her).

所詮はゲームの話なんですが、この作品（というか土屋作品）においては、こうして真面目に考えることに意義があると思います。もちろん知識としてはずっと前から知ってはいたけど、人生でこれほど同性愛について考えたのは初めてかもしれません。

Although it is just a game, for this title (and other Director Tsuchiya's works) I think it is meaningful to think about such subject seriously.  Of course, I have known about homosexual as a knowledge since long time ago, but maybe it's my first time in my life that I think deeply about it.

そして、考えずに生きてこられたのはそれだけ自分がお気楽な立場であるということです。当事者は毎日意識せずにはいられないですから。これは、あらゆる差別に通じることです。自分が直接関わらないこと、見えないこと＝存在しないことだと思わないことが第一歩でしょう。

That means I'd been in a easy position that I didn't have to think about it.  A person concerned is forced to note on that everyday.  This is common in all kinds of discrimination.  It is your first step not to decide things you don't relate with directly or you don't see as a thing that does not exist.
