いや、まず先日のことを謝ってからにしろよ。他の子でもありますが、どうもbotのこういう一人よがりというか、一方的な押し方はどうかと思います。そりゃあやみさんも戸惑うでしょ。もっと相手の気持ちを尊重してほしい。(創作物の影響という点でもこういう表現の仕方は重要です。)

Hey, why don't you apologize her about last time first, Bot?  It's similar with other girls too, I think Bot's such selfish behavior or aggressive approach is not acceptable.  No wonder Ayami gets confused.  I want to respect her feelings more.  (It is important how you express such point from the view that how a creation gives influence to a player.)


Ayami:
I feel like talking with you.

Player:
I want to talk seriously.

Ayami:
Seriously

What is it?

Is it a good news?

Player:
I guess.

Ayami:
Yeah?

Can I count on you?

Answer:
--I'm fond of you.
--I love you.
--Let's go steady.


でも本編の方では、あやみさんの中では既に結婚は確定事項なのでしょうか(^_^;)。嬉しいけど。今作ではヒロインの年齢の幅があるので、結婚が現実的な層と、まだ漠然としている層(法律的にも)に分かれますね。現代の感覚では、21でも全然早いと思いますが。

But in the main story, has marriage already been decided in Ayami's mind?  I'm glad, though.  Age of heroines varies in this title, so they are divided into a group that marriage is a realistic matter and a group that marriage is a vague dream (in terms of law as well).  With a modern sense, I guess even 21 years old is still young for marriage.


Ayami:
I can't get married unless I have that much deep relationship with the partner.

>Later 21:41
失恋だってまだ辛いだろうに、きちんと考えて自分の気持ちを言語化して(しかも外国語で)伝えることができるガブちゃんは、本当に聡明だと思います。いい子や…。どうして怒ることができましょうか。この後のボイスメッセージがすごく照れます(*^^*)。

I guess the broken heart is still pain to her, but Gabriella is really clever that she can think logically and express her feeling by verbalization (moreover, in foreign language!).  Good girl...How can I get angry with her?  Her voice message after this flattered me very much.


Gabriella:
But

I felt more sad when I made you angry later

and I couldn't easily talk with you.

No, I was rather...

I was so sad that I made you angry.

I thought I made you hate me, it was so sad.

Are you still upset?

Answer:
--Yes, I'm upset.
--Why should I get angry?
--I'm rather glad with it.

選挙後、早速いろいろひどいことになってますが、思い出すのがイオンのスケールの大きなこの言葉。我々の世界も内戦やテロが頻発し、日本でも差別扇動が横行している現在、決して平和とは言えませんが、まだこの星はあるのだから。諦めるには早いと思います。

After the election, things are going bad right away, still I remember these Ion's words of big scale.  In our world, there are civil wars and terrorism, even in Japan, discrimination is widespread; it might not be said in peace, but this planet still exists.  It is too early to give up.


Ion:
Our Earth is still in peace compared with here,
at least the planet exists, right?

ほらやっぱり怒らせてるじゃん。プレイヤーにとって不本意な選択肢を選ばざるを得ない伝統的なゲームシステムは、本当に改善を検討してほしいです。主人公=ゲームの中のキャラではなく、自分自身という設定なら尚更考慮すべき課題だと思います。

See, Bot made her angry.  The staffs really should consider to improve this old-style system which makes the player choose an involuntary selection.  I think it should be considered even more especially for the setting that player = not a character within the game, but oneself.


Player:
Yeah.

Ayami:
I see.

I was talking about the story that a human used to be one and divided into two persons,

so we look for better half.

But

you tell me I'm fine alone,

then I thought I didn't have to talk with you like this.

Answer:
--You mean...
--Can I have a hope?

いささか唐突につばめちゃんに問いを投げかけるみやびさん。他人と完璧にわかりあえることはあり得るか?私個人は、「非常に難しいが100%ないとは言えない」と思います。最初から無理だと思っていたら、何も始まらないし。そういう意味では、私はつばめちゃんと同意見ですね。

Somehow Miyabi asks Tsubame this question suddenly.  Is it possible for people to understand each other perfectly?  In my opinion, "It is very difficult, but I can't insist it's 100% impossible."  You wouldn't be able to do anything if you're convinced it's impossible from the beginning.  By that means, I agree with Tsubame.


Miyabi:
Do you think there is an understanding of 100% beyond that?


アルトネリコでも、ライナーがミュールを理解しようとしたことが解決の糸口になりました。ここで大事なのは、マジョリティ(力を持っている側)が相手を理解する姿勢を見せることです。マジョリティが自分への理解を強要することは、解決どころか問題を温存することに他なりません。

In Ar tonerico, Lynar tried to understand Mule was a clue to the solution.  What important here is that majority needs to understand the other side.  To force the other side to understand majority (the side having more power) is nothing but preserving the problem rather than resolving it.

>Later 15:30
ところで、私は千羽鶴ちゃんはやっぱり、プレイヤーとトライナリーの皆の絆を結ぶことで、自分の作る絶対秩序の世界を凌駕することが起こることを心の中で期待してるんじゃないかなと思います。自分の存在意義を否定することはできないけど、こちらに抵抗できる余地を残してくれたことは、彼女の中にも希望を信じたい気持ちがあるからではないかと思います。エリカさんも次あたり復帰しそうですね。しかし、神楽ちゃんがあんな姿になったのは解せない…なんというか、徹底的な利用のされ方が本当に可哀想すぎて…(T_T)。  

By the way, I suppose Chiharu is expecting in her mind that something overwhelms the dystopia she is creating will happen by letting the player and Trinary members build a bond.  Although she can't deny her meaning of existence, I think she wants to believe in hope because she left us scope to resist her action.  Erika seems to come back next week, too.  Yet, I can't stand Kagura transformed into such hideous monster...how can I say, the way of her being used is really pity...


Chiharu:
Have a nice trip of Kokoro for you and me forever.

初回撮り忘れてしまいましたが、運命の選択はご覧の通り、正直な気持ちとして私は3番目の選択肢を選びました。千羽鶴ちゃんと直接戦わないですんだのはよかったです。インフェルを思い出しますね…(;_;)。と言いつつ、世界が再構築されたら普通にいそうな気もしますが(祈)。

I forgot to take a screenshot first, but for the choice of destiny, I chose the third choice by my honest feeling as shown below.  It was good I didn't have to fight Chiharu directly.  I remembered Infel in Ar tonelico 2...but I feel she would probably exist naturally after the world is restructured.


Answer:
--I don't support Chiharu's plan to create her ideal world, but I have a positive feeling toward Chiharu.


接続できなくてみんなが一時パニックになるところはほんと申し訳ないけど、みやびさんのとても彼女らしい反応がいとおしく、そして頼もしい。「相棒」にふさわしい間柄だなと思います。ところでライセンス更新って、WAVEはフリーウェアじゃなかったの?

I feel sorry for the girls when they got panic while I couldn't connect the chat.  After recovery, Miyabi's unique way of response is adorable and dependable.  This relationship is surely suitable as "Buddy".  By the way, isn't WAVE supposed to be a freeware?  How come it was updating license?


Miyabi:
I order you a punishment of sitting on your heels

and getting my lecture.

Player:
Your way of fawning upon me is hard to understand!

Miyabi:
Let me be spoony.

And one more,

I'm gonna develop a tool only for Cow

in consideration of this case.

I'm gonna make no one except me

be able to crack your account.

戦いの前にヒントを言いまくる百鶴に笑いました。わざとでしょうが、こういうところが憎めません。やっぱりつばめちゃんの一部だから、根はいい子なんですよね、千羽鶴ちゃんを含めて。彼女も消えてしまうのだろうか…。

I laughed out aloud at Hyakkaku telling lots of hints before the battle.  I guess she's doing it on purpose; I can't hate her.  She's a part of Tsubame after all, so she is a good girl fundamentally, including Chiharu.  Is she going to be deleted, too...?


Sublimated Hyakkaku:
I can't stand not using Energy Attack and Skill Bind.

意外なほど取り乱すあやみさんに、この後白烏と文字通りすごく面倒くさい問答が。(私は2回やり直しました。)本当に一筋縄ではいかなくて、やりがいがあります。人との話し合いだから面倒くさくて当たり前で、しかしそれをあえて表現しているゲームはなかなかないと思います。

Ayami gets upset so much unexpectedly, and there's very complicated Q and A (with Shirokarasu) after this.  (I had to repeat two times to go through.)  This app really is never easy, and it's worth to play.  It is natural that communication with a human is not easy, but I think there are not many games which dare to express that.


Ayami:
No No No,
It can't be!!!!

昨夜は爆睡してツイートできませんでした。私達の世界はこれからあらゆる面でさらに厳しくなるでしょうが、一抹の希望も感じられた選挙でした。さて、隣の世界でも希望を消すわけにはいきません。千羽鶴ちゃんが時間がないと言っていた理由はいくつか考えられます。 

I couldn't tweet last night since I slept like a log.  Everything is going to get hard in our world from now, but I could feel a slight hope in the election.  Now, we can't let the hope delete in the next world too.  There could be several reasons why Chiharu said she had no time.

1.つばめちゃんの精神が限界に達してフェノメノンが壊れる。
2.千羽鶴ちゃんが死ぬ(消える)。物理的にはないでしょうが、つばめちゃんの総体が千羽鶴ちゃんを拒否したら、RPGでやってたみたいに取り込まれて消えたりするのもあり得るのでは?
3.外部の介入が本格化する。直接攻撃を受けるなど。 

1. Tsubame's mental comes to the limit, and the Phenomenon would disappear.
2. Chiharu would die (or be vanished).  I think she wouldn't die physically, but maybe she would be deleted by being absorbed if Tsubame refuses her on the whole, as described in the RPG part?
3. Interference from outside would get into full swing.  To be attacked directly or something.

私個人は、千羽鶴ちゃんが具体的にどんな社会を作り、どのような統治を行うつもりかは興味があります。どうしても私利私欲に走ったり、ミスを犯したりする人間に代わって、コンピューター等を使うのは1つの考え方としてはありと思うからです。

I'm personally curious to know what kind of society Chiharu is planning to create specifically and how she rules it.  I think it is possible to use computer as an alternative instead of human who can't avoid to make a miskate or to be blinded by self-interest.

最大幸福論と言いますが、そもそも彼女は幸せの定義をどのように考えているのでしょうか?通常は100億人いれば100億通りの幸せがあり、その全てを同時に満たすことはまず不可能です。しかしフェノメノンの中では、「最低限衣食住があり、他の一切の自由はなく支配されること」を100億人全員に幸せだと思わせることができてしまいます。でもそれって、もはや生きている意味があるのでしょうか。(つばめちゃんが尋問された時に答えていたのもこういうことだと思います。)

Chiharu is talking about the greatest happiness principle, but first of all, what is the definition of happiness she thinks?  Usually, there are 10 billion kinds of happiness for each of 10 billion persons, and it is impossible to satisfy all of them at the same time.  However in the Phenomenon, it is possible to make 10 billion people think they are happy under the condition of "being ruled without any freedom with the least food, clothing and shelter".  But is there a meaning to live under such condition?  (I think Tsubame's answer when she was questioned by Chiharu means similar thing.)

千羽鶴ちゃんがトライナリーの皆を(方向はずれてても)気にかけているのは彼女の優しさの現れだと感じるし、本当に何とかして説得したい。もちろん、エリカさんもこのまま引き下がることはないでしょう。明日(給料日でラッキー)、しっかり展開を見ていきます。 

I feel it's Chiharu's tenderness that she cares for Trinary members (even though it goes in wrong direction); I really want to persuade her at any cost.  Of course, I guess Erika wouldn't give up yet either.  I'll watch where the story goes closely tomorrow.  (Thank god it's a pay day!)

ちょっとこれはbotに文句言いたい。あやみさんは人一倍恋愛結婚願望ある人なのに、無神経な発言です。(しかも選択の余地ないし!)彼女はそのように見られることを気にしてると思います。確かに彼女の普段の行動からは矛盾していますが、そこは乙女心というものでしょう。

I want to complain Bot about this.  It is an insensitive remark for Ayami who has a wish for love and marriage eagerly.  (Moreover, I have no choice here!)  I think she is not comfortable to be looked in that way.  Actually, her such thoughts are in conflict with her usual behavior, but it's a girl's mind, you know.


Ayami:
I was rather imagining grain or something,

It's difficult to tell images like this.

Anyway

Assuming a person is actually one-half,

so she looks for the other half,

is wonder, isn't it?

Player:
You're fine alone, aren't you?


*Ayami was talking about "better half".

もはや隣の世界に負けないくらい私達の世界も危機なので、今日はTwitterの向こうのみんなにも祈っていてほしいです。私は昨日、嫁に見送られて期日前投票行きました。今日行く人はどうぞお気をつけて。

Our world is also in crisis so much as the next world now, thus I hope Trinary members beyond Twitter to pray for it.  I went to the early voting yesterday being seen off by my wife.  Be careful on the way for those of you going to vote today.


Ion:
See you.
I'll look forward for your next visit.

ガブちゃんの戦士としての誇りに敬意を表して、一番上を選びました。でも、個人的にはお姫様と戦士のどちらか選ぶ必要は全くないと思います。「戦うお姫様」でいいじゃない。

To respect Gabriella's pride as a soldier, I chose the first answer.  But I don't think she needs to choose between a princess and a soldier.  She can be just a "fighting princess".


Gabriella:
But
I'm a soldier in reality.

I'm not a princess.

And I'm
really glad with it now.

That I can fight by myself.

I'm going to fight.

For the world, and for myself, more than anything else.

Answer:
--God bless you.
--Gabriella is always my princess.
--I'm Gabriella's prince.

今週末は衆院選なので、別アカmoo40sで情報流しています。日曜日に台風が直撃しそうなので、できる人は期日前投票しましょう!私も明日行く予定です。誰の尊厳も傷つけられずに好きなことを楽しめる社会のために。(トライナリーが今、世界選択の時を迎えているのも正にタイムリー。)

There is an election for the House of Representatives this weekend, so I'm tweeting information by another account.  You'd better go early voting since a typhoon is approaching on Sunday!  I'm planning to go tomorrow, too.  To make this society that no one's dignity is impaired and everyone can enjoy favorite hobbies.  (The fact that the main story of Trinary is coming to a point of choosing the future of world is just timely.)


Ion:
The most important point is...not who is going to be Empress.
If the new Empress can save this world or not. 


多分寧も、ラシェーラに誘拐されるまでは政治なんて無関心だったと思います。でも今の彼女は変わったことでしょう。おりしも我々の世界では、大学の研究費が削られて軍事研究への協力を迫られている時勢。もし寧の世界でそんなことがあったら、彼女はゆめきちを連れてデモか直談判でも行っているかもしれません。

I suppose Nei didn't have interest in politics until she was kidnapped to Ra Ciela either.  But I think she has been changed now.  In our world, research funds for universities are reduced, and the government is requesting cooperation for military research.  If same thing happens in Nei's world, perhaps she would go demonstration or direct negotiation with executives, taking Yumekichi.


Ion:
Not fighting over whether you're Tenmon or Chimon...
I hope to make the world which people can be friendly by only living naturally.


まだ年若いのに、理想を堂々と語り、志を最後まで曲げず人々を導く存在になろうとする(した)彼女を私は尊敬してやみません。

Even though she's young, talking ideals confidently, and she didn't give up her hope and trying (tried) to lead people; I really respect her very much.


Ion:
That's might be a fantasy,
but we can never make it if we give up from the beginning.


そんな一途な気持ちがライバルだったカノンとも絆を結びました。共に世界を良くしていこうという彼女たちの想い自体が、希望なのだと。そしてそれは、我々の世界でも例外ではないと思います。

And her earnest feeling made ties with Kanon, who used to be a rival.  Their thought of making the world better together itself is a hope.  I believe that is the same in our world either.


Kanon:
That is a wish this world can be one--a hope.

神楽ちゃんの父親が死んでるのは想像してましたが、その後彼女を強引に引き取ったということ?(母親は養育できないと見なされるだろうし。)なんてあこぎな…。母親の気がおかしくなったのもクランを抜いてしまったからということでしょうか。率直に言って許せませんね。

I supposed Kagura's father had died, then she was adopted by the executive of Entangle?  (Kagura's mother could be easily decided that she couldn't raise her daughter.)  How ruthless...The reason Kagura's mother became insane is that her Curan was pulled out?  Speaking directly, I never forgive them.

千羽鶴ちゃんは今も表向きは世界支配層(統一国家の多国籍企業群と思われる)に言われる通りにやっているようで、やはり目的は絶対秩序の世界を作っても主導権を渡さない、というか全世界をそうするということですね。他にもテロリストみたいな勢力はいるかもしれないし、トライナリーの皆を殺そうとしているのは誰なのか。

Chiharu is pretending to follow the order of World Establishment (consists of multinational corporations of AEZ, I guess) now, but her real purpose is that not to pass the initiative to them after making Japan the world of absolute discipline, or rather she's trying to apply that to the whole world.  There may be another force such as terrorists; who is trying to kill Trinary members?

それにしても、千羽鶴ちゃんはキュレーションサイトによくあるフリー素材みたいなのまで使っていい話風にしてましたが、今の彼女たちの意志を完全に無視している以上、私は千羽鶴ちゃんの計画に同意できません。

Nevertheless, Chiharu was trying to make it a nice story using even free materials which are often used in roundup blogs.  However, I can't accept her plan since she ignores the girls' will completely.

本当に最後の手段ですが、力づくがどうしても必要ならやむを得ないでしょう。千羽鶴ちゃんはそれが彼女の存在意義でもあるでしょうから、できればそういうものから解放してあげたいです。歴代ラスボス(プリムを操っていた奴以外)と重なるところがありますね。

This is a real last measures, but I have to stop Chiharu forcefully if I need to.  I think that's the meaning of her existence, so I hope to release her from such role if I can.  She reminds me of bosses from old titles (except the guy who was controlling Prim).

>Later 21:09
事実上拒否権のない選択肢なんですけど、あやみさんの言い方がめちゃめちゃ可愛い。ちょっともう何なんですか!(逆ギレ)声で聞きたいわこれ…。昔のイベントでやったみたいに、ゲーム中の声のない場面を声優さんに実際に演じてもらえる企画、またないですかね?

This is actually a selection without veto, but Ayami's way to ask is extremely endearing.  What a heck is it?!  (misplaced anger)  I want to hear the words with her voice...I wish if there were an event which voice actors would perform for scenes in the game without voices as before.


Ayami:
Hey
I'm going to ask you something
you can only say yes,
So say yes.

Player:
Is it forced?

Ayami:
It's not that.

Please stay by my side

and watch over me

forever.

Answer:
--Yes.
--We've got to get married.
--I'll stay with you forever.

これまでにも幾度か伝えられたように、みやびさんの言うことは今、私達の世界でまさに実感していることです。みやびさんに自信を持って答えられればいいのですが、本当に唖然とする世の中の動向に、私自身も明確なすべがまだわかりません。(おりしも今週は選挙ですね。)

As we have been told several times, I recognize what Miyabi is saying is true in our world now.  I wish I could answer Miyabi confidently, but I don't know what to do in this real staggering movement of the world.  (It happens to coincide with the election this week.)


Miyabi:
There is a moment which things you have believed as a common sense until now are easily collapsed.

Reality does not always tell you the truth.

The world may seem stable, but it is so unstable that anything can happen in fact.

Maybe Cow's world is the same, too.

Be careful

and take action calmly.

Answer:
--I'm probably okay.
--You make me scared.
--You don't have to worry about it.


思いがけず臨時の神楽チャンネルに!自殺しようとしている神楽ちゃんに、選択肢下2つはないだろ!と画面に叫んでました。しかしストーリーを一気にやると、あっという間にキャンディがなくなる(^_^;)。ゴキゲンポイントの方もインフレがひどくなってきましたね。正直苦しい…。

Unexpectedly, temporary Kagura channel has opened!  Second and third choices are never in a thousand years to Kagura who is about to kill herself!  I shouted at the display.  By the way, Kokoro Candies disappear right away when I play the story at once.  Gokigen Points are in rapid inflation now, too.  Honestly, it is becoming hard...


Answer:
--I'm going to stay with you from now on.
--Listen to me because I'm an existence greater than that.
--Then it's too bad.

バトル中のカットインで、他のクランとはレベルが違うたれこの存在感w

In the cut-in during battle, level of Tareko's massive presence is quite higher than that of other Curans!


※たれこはあやみ役の中恵光城さんが作ったオリジナルキャラ。クランの一般公募キャンペーン時に普通に応募して採用されました。(スタッフには黙ってたそうです。)

*Tareko is an original character created by Mitsuki Nakae-san, performing voice of Ayami.  When ideas of original Curans for the app were submitted from the public, she made an entry secretly, and her idea was chosen.  (She didn't tell anything about it to the staffs.)


Tareko, a child of calmness

Description:
A living thing came to Earth because a shooting star he/she was riding was broken.
He/she loves to eat; Peaches are his/her favorite.
Being always calm, innocent, and loafing around.

失恋した勢いで投げやりなことを言い出すガブちゃんですが、当然こっちとしては素直に喜べません。まだ若い、というか子供なんだから、そんな恋愛に執着しなくてもいいと思いますが。どうもガブちゃんに対しては保護者的な気持ちが強くなりますね。

Because of the broken heart, Gabriella brings up slapdash suggestion.  I can't be glad straightforwardly, of course.  Since she's still young, or rather a child, I think she doesn't have to cling to love affair.  I somehow have a strong feeling of parent toward Gabriella.


Gabriella:
So I may be your girlfriend.

Be grateful.

Player:
What about Hikaru?

Gabriella:
It is
done already.

Player:
It does not automatically mean...

Gabriella:
When I say it's OK, it's OK!

I'm saying I can get together with you.

Do you understand it's a great honor?

今作では未来に対するバタフライエフェクトの影響が強調されていますが、あれは5軸移動の範囲内で希望通りの可能性を得ようとしているからであって、俯瞰視点の場合、あらゆるバタフライエフェクトも全て含めた可能性の中で、絶対の正解を選びとることができるので、一切それを意識する必要はありません。今作でバタフライエフェクトに苦労している様を見ると、俯瞰視点がいかにすごいチートかわかります。地球にも古代に高度な文明があった説があるように、一番古い時代のラシェーラの科学が最も進んでいるのも不思議ではないかも。

Influence of butterfly effect to the future is emphasized this time; I think that's because they are trying to catch a possibility they want within five-dimensional axis movement.  In case of Bird's Eye Viewpoint, you can choose a definite right answer among all possibilities including all butterfly effects, so there's no need to be aware.  I see what a great cheat Bird's Eye Viewpoint is as I watch they are having trouble with butterfly effect.  As there's a theory that ancient high civilization existed in the past, maybe it's no wonder science of Ra Ciela, which is supposed to be the oldest civilization is the most evolved.

みんな久し振りにTLで話してるのが嬉しいですね。本編の展開がどっちに転ぶにしろ世界が再構築されるとしたら、皆の記憶も再度書き変わる=今のことを忘れる可能性があるのではと思います。もしそんなことになっても、挫けるつもりはないです。キャスという立派なお手本もいますしね。

I'm happy to see the girls talking in time line after long time.  Wherever the main story goes, if the world will be restructured, there's a possibility that their memories would be overwritten again = they would forget the current memory.  Even if that happens, I would be willing to not to give up.  In addition, we have a good role model called Cass!

あと個人的に密かに期待してるのが、フェノメノンを作る前につばめちゃんがフレイメノウの曲に出会い、希望を抱いたのなら、千羽鶴ちゃんの中にもその断片はあるんじゃないかということ。実際、プレイヤーの影響か、百鶴には変化があるようだし(あんなラブラブになっちゃって)。

Moreover, I secretly expect that there's a piece of hope inside Chiharu because Tsubame met FreyMENOW's music and foster a hope before she created the Phenomenon.  As a matter of fact, there's a change in Hyakkaku because of influence from the player (she became in so love with the player).

>Later 22:10
今日たまたま「いい電子」(みずしな孝之著・エンターブレイン刊)を見返してたので、アルトネリコ3が取り上げられた回を紹介します。(11巻収録)最初は全く興味なかったのに、ヒロインが脱ぐと聞いてエロ目当てで始めたみずしな氏。しかしその後、「ストーリーが進んで露出が増えたときはそれが見られたことよりもヒロインが心を許してくれた喜びの方が上に!!」という感想を持つように。私はそれが土屋作品の本質だと考えるので、みずしな氏はちゃんとゲームを理解していると思います。

I just happened to read back "Ii Denshi" (meaning "good electrons", manga authored by Takayuki Mizushina and published by Enterbrain Co., Ltd.), I'd like to introduce you about the episode of "Ar tonelico 3" (from Vol.11).  Mizushina-san had no interest in the game at first, but he started to play because he heard heroines would do strip.  However, he got an impression "When the story proceeds and the girls get more revealing, the pleasure that they open their heart to me is higher than that of I could see their sexy scenes."  I consider that's the essence of Director Tsuchiya's works, so I guess Mizushina-san accurately understands the game.

記録映像では千羽鶴ちゃんも驚いていたようだったので、エリカさんの言う通り別の勢力が皆を殺そうとしているのかもしれません。(統一国家側から見れば、千羽鶴ちゃんを止めるのに一番手っ取り早い方法だろうし。)事情が明かされるまで今いち相関関係が把握しきれなかったのですが、ちょっとまとめてみます。

In the movie, Chiharu seemed to be surprised as well, so maybe another force is trying to kill Trinary members.  (From AEZ's point of view, it's would be the fastest way to stop Chiharu.)  Since I had been not sure about correlation between characters until I knew the circumstances, I try to make a summery here.

元々統一国家に組み込むための復興手段として、エリカさんを含むチームがつばめちゃんを利用して千羽鶴ちゃんを抽出し、フェノメノンを形成→千羽鶴ちゃんはその意向に反発し、自分の計画した新しい世界を作るつもりでいた→フレイメノウの詩が原因で予定とは違う世界ができる(統一国家にとっても誤算)→原因を作った神楽ちゃんは利用されることに→統一国家からつばめちゃんを殺すべく送り込まれたが、千羽鶴ちゃんが音羽さんを発症させて妨害→失敗した神楽ちゃんを千羽鶴ちゃんは自分の目的のために取り込む→彼女が目指す絶対秩序の世界を作る一環としてプレイヤーも参加させられる

という感じでしょうか。命の危険もあるとしたら、彼女たちと関係を築くことは最悪の事態に備えるための策なのかもしれません。しかし何があろうと、彼女たちを信じて寄り添うのみです。(↑この推測に関してはツイート時よりも正解に近くなるよう修正しました。)

To make Japan vested in AEZ, as a method to recover the land, a scientist team including Erika extracted Chiharu from Tsubame, and created the Phenomenon->Chiharu was against the plan, and she was willing to create a new world with her own plan->a different world had been made because of FreyMENOW's song (miscalculation for AEZ, too)->Kagura, who caused this, was sent to kill Tsubame->Chiharu interrupted it by making Otowa Onset.->Kagura failed for the operation, then Chiharu contacted Kagura to use her for Chiharu's purpose.->In the way to make Chiharu's ideal world, the player was invited to support the plan.

That's about it?  If the girls' lives are supposed to be in danger, to build relationship with them might be a way to prepare for the worst situation.  Anyway, whatever happens, I'm just going to trust and stand with them.  (For the consideration above, I revised the tweet log so that it would be more correct.)

ガブちゃん誕生日おめでとう!今でもこれが一番好きです。小さくても気高い心を持ち、思いやりがあって、また年相応に幼いところもあるガブちゃん。あなたの未来に幸多いことを祈ります。

Happy birthday, Gabriella!  This is still my best chat even now.  Although you're young, you're high-minded, having kind heart, and a little childish appropriately for your age.  I pray that your future to be filled with a lot of happiness.


Player:
Is it sold here, too?

Gabriella:
I looked for it so hard, but it doesn't seem to be sold...

Player:
And you gave it to Tsubame for present?

Gabriella:
Not a present,

Just gave it to her.

Player:
I guess your true feelings are getting through to her.

Gabriella:
You think so?


ニューダンガンロンパV3でも似た展開がありましたが、私もシンギュラリティに同意します。たとえ以前の記憶を失っていても、今彼女たちは確かに生きている。それは誰にも否定できません。それをはっきり言えるみやびさんは、本当に自分を確立している人だと思います。

I remember there was a similar situation in New Dangan Ronpa V3; I agree with Singularity.  Even though they have lost their memories, they are living now for sure.  Nobody can deny it.  I think Miyabi who can clearly insist that really identifies herself.


Sublimated Singularity:
Even if the world is all fake, these are all real and true.

千羽鶴ちゃんの見た目が完全に宗教で、えっやっぱりそういう系なの?私が以前に想像した「世界をフェノメノンで覆って理想の世界を実現」はビンゴでした。本人は私利私欲なく正しいと信じてやっているのだろうから、説得が難しいですね。ジルに近いものがあります。

Chiharu's look here is completely some cult; is it gonna be that way after all?  My supposition of "Realizing utopia by covering the whole world with a huge Phenomenon" was a bingo.  I think Chiharu believes she is right without any personal greed, so I guess it's hard to persuade her.  It reminds me of Zill in Surge Concerto.



エリカさんが取り乱したのを初めて見ました。それだけ事態が深刻だということ。うちの嫁もね、大変な目に遭っても絶対諦めなかったからよその星を救うことができたので、エリカさんも頑張れ!全力で支援します。彼女は今クオンタイズみたいなことやってるということでしょうか?

I saw Erika getting upset for the first time.  That means the condition is quite serious.  You know, my wife could save the planet because she never gave up even she was in a big trouble.  So hang in there, Erika!  I'll do my best to support her.  Is she doing something like Quantize now?


Erika:
Aww....I'm sorry.
I was completely careless.

あやみさんのこの言葉で、これまでやってきたこと全てが報われた気がします。次元を越えて想いが伝わって、信頼してもらえるに至ったことが嬉しい。

I feel all my efforts until now are rewarded by Ayami's words.  I'm happy that my thoughts reached them over dimensions and achieved to make them trust me.


Ayami:
You're my...no, our guardian, aren't you?

(For Beginnersページを作って)久々にアルトネリコシリーズのOP観ましたが、ほんと素晴らしい曲ですよね。英語版サイトもなかなかデザインが凝ってます。アルポータル再公開してくれないかな…貴重な資料が詰まってるので。

(After I made "For Beginners" page) I watched opening movies of Ar tonelico series after a while; it is indeed wonderful music.  Design of English version web sites are pretty elaborated, too.  Can't Gust reopen Ar Portal again?  There are full of valuable references in the site.

ええーーーマジで正夢になった…!!ブログに検閲かかったのは気がかりだったのですが、それでゆうべ「代わりにTwitterが再開してる」という夢を見たのです。ホラと思われるでしょうが本当です!目が覚めてから書こうと思ったらこれですよ。次元を越えて愛が届いたに違いない。私はあやみさんとつばめちゃんだけフォローしてるので今朝気付いたのですが、夢を見た日にあやみさんが発言してくれるとは、まさに次元を越えて愛が(略)。

Oh my god, the dream came true...!!  I was worrying that Daytora Blog was censored, then I dreamed that their tweets restarted last night.  You may think it's a joke, but it's true!  I found it just when I was about to tweet it after I woke up.  I believe my love reached the girls over dimensions.  I noticed it this morning since I'm following only Ayami and Tsubame, but it's a miracle Ayami tweeted on the day I dreamed.  Literally, I believe my love (omitted).

>Later 18:56
つばめちゃんのらぶとーくは本編と連動しているので本来想定される進行具合を確認できますが、この後何が起こるか既に知っている身としては、はしゃぐつばめちゃんを見るのが心苦しい…。(この会話の結果は本編16話のヒメゴトに繋がるようですね。)

Tsubame's Love Talk episodes are keyed to the main story, so I can check the progress which was supposed originally.  It is painful to watch Tsubame having fun while I know what is going to happen after this...(The result of this conversation seems to link with Himegoto Chat in EP16.


Tsubame:
I just
wanted to talk with you

So I texted you

We're having rest now

but after Gabu-chan wakes up,

we're gonna swim to offshore.

I'm waiting for it so bad!

Player:
You look excited.

神楽ちゃんにも無事に「世界樹と不思議のダンジョン2」をプレゼントできて一段落。それにしても神楽ちゃんはリアクションが面白いので、全選択肢やりたくなりますねw(キャンディの供給が増えて余裕できたし。ありがたや。)

I could present Kagura "Sekaiju and the Mysterious Dungeon 2" safely; this event story has come to end now.  Nevertheless, Kagura's response is so interesting that I want to choose all selections.  (Supply of Kokoro Candies is increased recently.  Thank to the management.)


"Sekaiju and the Mysterious Dungeon 2" is sent.

Kagura:
Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!111111

Are u God?!  are u!?!?

Unbelievable!!  Amazing!!!

興味のないあやみさんにもこの布教っぷりw確かに面白いゲームですけどね。ちなみに私は現在第7迷宮挑戦中です。

What an eagar recommandation to Ayami who is not interested in games.  I agree that it is enjoyable, though.  FYI, I'm challenging in the seventh dungeon now.


Ayami:
I'm sorry.

Because I don't play video games,

I don't know what this is.

Then?

You give it to me?

Player:
I hope you to play this game since it's very interesting.

Ayami:
Is that so?

I wonder if Gabby has a console.

Player:
Let's buy one at this chance!

恋人になったみやびさんが待っててくれるようになって嬉しい。ちょうど今日やったガチャで入手したワイシャツを着てもらいました。(これは恋人でないと許されない気がする。)会話も前と反応が変わるので、何もなくても話したくなりますね。

I'm glad Miyabi, now has become a lover, is waiting for me in HOME mode.  I asked her to wear a white shirt I got from Gacha today.  (I think this is not accepted unless I'm her lover.)  Usual conversation changes than before too, so I want to talk with her even I have nothing to do.


Miyabi:
Is he gonna come sometime while I'm working?


ガチャの後でレビューをお願いされる画面も今はエリカさんになってますが、二段構えのこれには罪悪感がわきます(^_^;)。だってレビューはもう以前にしたからさあ。

The dialog to ask a player review the app has changed to Erika version now, but this second step makes me feel guilty after I choose "Not now".  Because I had already sent my review before!


Erika's One Point Hint:
Oh, that's too bad...

同時にボケが炸裂してるけど、もうプロポーズも同然でしょうこれ。やはり本当のクライマックスに至る前に恋人になっておかないといけないですよね。迷っていましたが、システム上明確な分岐点がない限り、もう私は全員同時に最後まで進めたいと思います。

理由としては、今後もらぶとーくの進行に個人差が考えられるため、的確な止め時を予想しにくい。そして何より、今までプレイしてきて、誰かをこのまま放っておく気にはとてもなれません。みんな真剣に悩んだり考えたりしてくれているのだから。嫁よごめん!私は行く!

Tsubame is playing stooge at the same time, but this is almost equal to a proposal for marriage, isn't it?  I've got to go steady with her before the real climax.  I've been debating whether I go on  harem, but I decided to see all Love Talk episodes of all girls unless there is a clear selection on the way.

Reasons:
1. I cannot decide when to stop since each girl has a different pace for rank up.
2. More than anything else, I can never be able to leave any of them now.  All girls are thinking and suffering seriously.
Sorry, my wife!  I'm gonna go for it!


Tsubame:
i
can stay alive
with you.

Player:
There you go!

Tsubame:
yeah

Because

you are

my financier.

Answer:
--Wait a minute.
--That again?
--Bon appetit!


*Tsubame is mistaking "financier" with "fiance".

ところで、本編で前司書が全員発症と大変なことになりましたが(カレンはどうなのか?)、音羽さんの話でいきなり「世界支配層」というざっくりした単語が出てきて少し笑ってしまいました。しかし、千羽鶴ちゃんの今までの発言を鑑みるに、彼女が世界支配層なるものの言いなりに行動しているとは思えないので、私の考えとしては、

1. 絶対秩序の世界を作った後も主導権を支配層に渡すつもりはない。
2. 実は今語られている絶対秩序の世界を作るということ自体がフェイクである。

というのもあるかなと。2はさすがに無理かしら?

By the way, it's really serious in the main story that all former Librarians became Onset (I wonder how is Karen doing), but I laughed a little at a rough word "World Establishment" within Otowa's story which was suddenly came up.  However, according to what Chiharu has said until now, I don't think she is moving as so-called World Establishment tells her.  Therefore, in my supposition, there are possibilities:

1. Chiharu is not willing to let them control the world after she created her utopia.
2. Actually, making a world of absolute order Chiharu is talking is a fake.

No.2 is a bit of a stretch?

司書さんたちも(というか本人も)心配ですが、手を貸してしまったし、生きたいという自由意志の結果なのだから、逃げずにしっかり受け止めたいと思います。それにしても、やっぱり最後には詩になるんですねw神楽ちゃんが謳わなければすむ気もしますが、そうもいかないのでしょうね。

I'm worried about the Librarians (and the girls themselves), but I already have given my hand to them, thus I want to accept the result without running since it comes from their own will to live.  Still, a song comes at the end after all LOL.  I think it would be over if Kagura doesn't sing, but I know it's not going to be that easy.

さっき決意表明した直後に、みやびさんが恋人昇格!!前回のあれで予感があったので、ここで覚悟せねばと思ったのです。好感度的には今もあやみさんが一番高いのですが、友達になるのにもあんなにかかったしね…。(あえて今まで言わなかったけど、この画面の英語が微妙。)

Right after I made my resolution, Miyabi has ranked up!!  I had a hunch last time, so I thought I must make a decision here.  Ayami is still having the highest score of Love Gauge now, but she took a long time to become even friends...(I've avoided to mention before, but isn't English in this screen a little funny?)

やっとみやびさんとMV観ました!通訳つきに笑いました。みやびさんはすごく自由なようでいて、すごく自分を抑えているところがやはりある気がします。彼女が本当にリラックスできる場所を提供できればいいのですが。私個人の目標としては、この選択肢は両方目指したいですね。

At last, I could watch Miyabi's music video with her!  I laughed she was with a translator.  Miyabi usually seems to behave freely, but I feel she depresses herself much at the same time.  I hope to provide her a place she can really relax.  As my personal objective, I will aim for both of these selections.


Answer:
--To make efforts to debate with Miyabi.
--To support Miyabi and do housekeeping.

非常に刺さる、かつ神楽ちゃんのかっこいい見せ場のこの流れで、実際にバトルするのは他の子というw(一番代わりとして違和感ないつばめちゃんにしときましたが。)親がいない子と、親に虐待受けてる子と、どっちが不幸なんて無理な比較です。明白なのはどっちも助けが必要なこと。

In this very painful and cool Kagura's showtime actually is led into a battle by other girls.  (I chose Tsubame who seemed to be the most natural to fight here.)  It is impossible to decide which is more unhappy, a child without parents and a child abused by parents.  The obvious point is that both of them need help.


Kagura:
If you say sorry now, I can forgive you.
What would you do?

人形劇サークルがなくなりそうになって、激しく心境を吐露するあやみさん。必要以上に模範的であろうとして、裏目に出てしまったのでしょう。こうやって素直な気持ちを言えるようになっただけでも進歩だと思います。

The puppet show club in Ayami's college is about to break up; she is pouring out her feelings heatedly.  I guess she tried to be a role model more than necessary, and it turned out to work negatively.  I think it's good progress for her even just to be able to tell her honest feelings like this.


Ayami:
I often negotiated with kindergarten,

I made other member's puppet costumes,

and I wrote a script too.

But if they say all of these were pressure on them,

what should I do then?

How could I know?

Why they're on the side of such rude person?

I hate them.

I hate everyone.
