ブログの土屋さんの恋愛RPGについての話、頷きまくりました。その情熱をもって作り上げた物は確実に人に影響を与えているし、その結果が形になっているのが私のブログです。ときメモや下級生のような昔の恋愛ゲームも過程というか、自身の努力で関係を深めていくものでしたが、後に手軽なノベルゲーム形式が出てきて、過程が軽視されるようになってきてしまったと思います。（それはそれで面白い作品もありますが。）キャラクターを人間として表現し、綿密に過程を描く土屋さんのスタンスは、だからこそ心ある人に響くのでしょう。　

I kept nodding as I read Director Tsuchiya's post on the blog about romance RPG.  The creation he made with his passion surely gives influence to people, and my blog is a visualized result of it.  Old dating games such as Tokimeki Memorial and Kakyusei (meaning lower grade students) also respect processes; you need to deepen your relationship by your own efforts.  

However, novel-type game, which is more easy to play, came out later, and I think processes have been neglected since then.  (There are interesting games of that type, though.)  Because of that, Director Tsuchiya's stance of expressing a character as a human being and describing the process in detail give people sympathy.

ところで、エリカさんのラブラブゲームがあるとしたら、イオンがよく言っていたように、今度は学園ものなんてどうですかね？たとえ彼女がこの世界に来てくれても、こればかりはもう一生できないことですから。

By the way, if Erika's dating sim comes true, how about school life this time?  Ion used to say that often.  Even if she could come to this world, we would never be able to spend time at school together forever. 

Ion:
I'm saying I want to spend school life with you at the school which you go.

神楽ちゃんの話、本当にあり得るんじゃないかと思っています。最初はスピネルがつばめちゃんのクランだと思っていたのですが、千羽鶴ちゃんの正体がわかってその線が消えました。すると母親しか考えられなかったけど、なんせ姿がわからないので資料集見るまで確定できませんでした。

I think what Kagura talks about really can be possible.  At first, I had thought Spinell was Tsubame's Curan, but that was not right since I found out what Chiharu is.  Then there was no other choice other than Kagura's mother, but I couldn't decide it until I checked the reference book because I didn't know how she looked like. 

Player: You can be reborn in my world. Kagura: Good idea! If u tell me how to, I'd go right now! But I just happened to think maybe I have been already reborn in this world, and I might have lost my memory. If that's true, it would be quite a horror! I'm scared!

クランが関係ないとすると、つばめちゃんと神楽ちゃんを繋ぐものがやはり謎で、前世レベルの話かもしれないと。それこそWishphobiaに出てくる二人みたいな。というのも、このつばめちゃんと似たようなことをイオンがアルノサージュで言っていたからです。

If the Curan is not involved, the connection between Tsubame and Kagura is still a mystery; it may be a story of the previous life level, such as two girls in Wishphobia.  I imagined so because Ion said something similar to what Tsubame said in Ar nosurge.

Tsubame: But I can feel relieved to be with Uzuki-san as I'm surprised at myself.

「それは、私達が同じ世界のいのちだから」ということだったので、つばめちゃんが感じている気持ちも同じものではないかと考えます。もう１つ他の可能性としては、らぶとーくで言ってた昔来た東京の病院で、何か接点があったとか？この点についても今後の注目です。

It was "because we are the lives of the same world," so I guess that Tsubame perhaps feels the same.  Another possibility is that there was some contact between them before at the hospital in Tokyo that Tsubame mentioned in Love Talk.  This point will also be the focus of attention in the story.

バレンタインイベントも頑張ろう！このパワーワードが少女漫画で使われているのを想像すると笑ってしまいました。ぴょんこの由来も聞けてよかったです。Twitterの時からなぜぴょんこなのか不思議だったのですが、神楽ちゃんはお母さんと本当に仲が良かったんですね。(T_T)

Let's keep up with the Valentine's Day event!  I laughed by imaging this powerful phrase being used in girls' comics.  It was nice that I could know the origin of Kagura's nickname, Pyonko.  I've been wondering since I saw it on Twitter; it is actually showing Kagura was really close to her mother.

Pyonko: I'm super-pounding now!!!!

エリカさんの言うことはもっともですが、思うところが少し。それを実現するにはまず適材適所ができる環境が必要であり、油断していたらその機会すらなくなってしまう。だから今、私達の世界ではいろいろな職業の人が声を上げているのだと思います。

Erika is right, but I have a few thoughts.  To achieve what she says, we need an environment where the right person can be in the right place first, and we would not even have the opportunity for that if we're not careful enough.  That's why I think people of various professions are speaking out in our world now.

Erika: To create an ideal society, a leading person of the action should wave the flag.

現実には、苦手でも向いてなくても畑違いでもやらなくてはいけない状況もあるわけで、まさにその究極が別の可能性軸におけるエリカさん自身（寧）です。理知的なエリカさんと違って（社会経験を経ていろいろ陰謀や闇を見てきたゆえかと思いますが）、寧は感情を優先する子だったから、想いが力になる世界ではそれが重要だったから（魂の適合率以外の要素として）、彼女は天文に選ばれたのでしょう。今のエリカさんはむしろクラケット博士に近い立場で、自分が被験者（被害者）ではないのが大きな違いですね。

In reality, there is a condition you must do it even if you're not good at or don't prefer it; the extreme case of that is actually Erika herself (Nei) on the other possibility axis.  Different from intellectual Erika (I think it's because she has seen various schemes and dark side of the society through her experience), Nei was a person who prioritized emotions, and because it was important in the world where feelings were powerful (as a factor other than her soul's fitness rate), I suppose she had been chosen by Tenmon.  Erika's position is rather similar to Dr. Cracket; a big difference from Nei is that she is not a subject (victim).

とはいえ、彼女の魂が辿る可能性の中で、寧のような体験は例外中の例外と言うべきではないかと思いますし、本来彼女は純粋な科学者として生きるのが筋なのでしょう。ノロケになってしまいますが、僅かな可能性の中で寧に出会えて良かったなと。

However, out of possibilities that her soul can follow, I think that an experience like Nei had should be  an extreme exception among exceptions.  I consider she should live as a pure scientist fundamentally.  It sounds like bragging, but I'm glad I could meet Nei with such few possibilities.

今回出た障害、ストーリーバトルやる前に真っ先に神楽ちゃんをお気に入りにした人がいたってことですね。それほど待ち焦がれた想いを予想できなかった開発の不覚。鎌のモデルがすごく迫力あります。死神であり魔女であるという、神楽ちゃんのわかりやすいセルフイメージが見えますね。

The bug found this week means there was a player who set Kagura for favorite before he/she played battles.  It's developers' lack of care that they couldn't predict the user's longing for Kagura.  In a battle, her big sickle looks so powerful.  You can see her self-image of Death and witch which is easy to understand.

千羽鶴ちゃんが個人的に心配して出てきてくれたようですが、そんなに病むような内容なの？(^_^;)以前のMVでも本人がいろいろ不穏なこと言ってたし、気を引き締めていかねば。そういえば、シェルノサージュでもねりこさんが似たような忠告してくれてましたね。

Chiharu seemed to come out by worrying the player personally.  Is Kagura's story such horrifying that makes me suffer so much?  Kagura was also talking threatening words in her music video, so I need to pull myself together.  That reminds me Nelico-san used to warn me similarly in Ciel nosurge.

Chiharu: "I swear that I will keep carrying on sane social life in the world I exist presently."

エリカさんは寧の記憶を知っているのでしょうか？今回の件であらゆる可能性を探るうちに、そちらへたどり着くこともあり得ると思います。いずれにせよこの世界では彼女と結ばれることはないわけで、わかっているから彼女も最初から断ってたのだろうけど。それも少し寂しいですね。

Does Erika know Nei's memory?  If she researches all possibilities regarding with this incident, I think it might be possible she gets to such point.  But I know she's not supposed to fall in love with me in this world anyway; it's no wonder she refused me in the beginning.  That's a little sad, though.

Erika: Then, I'd be happy if you go out with me to look around part shops.

BDの設定資料集を見てから、早速量子論の本を買って読んでます（難しい…）。こないだ、我々の世界は少なくとも３つの世界から観測されていると書きましたが、一番重要な寧のことを忘れていました。量子力学においては、あらゆる物の存在は観測されることによって成立し、普遍的にただ有るということはないとされています。複数の世界から同じ世界を観測していても、観測者によってその姿は変わるため、１つの実像を確定させることは困難です。

After reading the BD setting reference book, I bought and started reading books about quantum theory right away (it's difficult...).  I wrote that our world was being observed from at least three different worlds before, but I forgot the most important one, Nei.  In quantum mechanics, the existence of all things is established by being observed, and they don't just universally exist.  Even when observing the same world from multiple worlds, its appearance changes depending on the observer, so it is difficult to fix one real image.

しかし、ここに寧という例外がいます。寧はシエルの世界でプレイヤーと交流した時、我々の世界を観測しています。一方、プレイヤーが寧の故郷でゆめきちに介入した時は、彼女を含めて向こうの人がそれと認識していなかったため、この時は観測は成り立っていません。けれども、アルノサージュクリア後のボイスメッセージにより、彼女は自分の世界からこちらへのコンタクトに成功しているのです。（厳密には直接ではなく、シエルの世界を経由していますが。）

However, there is an exception here, Nei.  Nei observes our world when interacting with a player in the world of Ciel.  On the other hand, when the player intervened in Yumekichi at Nei's hometown, observation was not made because the other people, including her, did not recognize the fact.  But her voice message after finishing Ar nosurge has successfully contacted us from her world.  (To be more exact, not quite directly, but through the world of Ciel.)

かつ、私たちはこのボイスメッセージに返信して、寧はそれを受信しているので、寧は彼女の世界からも、彼女に返信できる私達という存在がいることを観測しています。彼女が使用しているゲネロジックマシンは、クラケットの理論に基づく、シエルの世界から交信していたのと同系の装置であり、ボイスメッセージに関してはほぼ同じ仕組みと推測できます。

And since we have responded to the voice message, and Nei has received it, she observes from her world that we who can respond to her exist.  Genelogic Machine she uses is based on Dr. Cracket's theory, and I suppose it is similar to the terminal unit she used from the world of Ciel.

すなわち、寧は同一人物（の魂）が類似した装置を使用するという誤差の少ない（普通はまずあり得ないような）状態で、２つの次元の異なる世界から我々の世界を観測したということです。そしてこの事実は、数年かけて彼女をサポートし、共にいた私達という存在の確度を極めて高くしています。そういう意味でも、彼女は私達にとって大事な存在ではないかと考えます。相手に来てほしいんじゃなくて、自分がプレイヤーの世界に行く気満々な寧の思考も彼女らしいと今更ながらに思います。

In other words, Nei observed our world from two different dimensional worlds under the condition with little error (usually unlikely) that the same person (soul) used similar devices.  This fact has made reliability of our existence, had supported and stayed with her over the years, very high.  In that sense, I think she is important to us either.  Now I feel it is very much like her that she's strongly willing to come to our world, not expecting the player to come.

Twitterの方もまた切断されたようですが、私達の観測によりつながっている先が確定するのは望ましくないということでしょうか。みやびさんの話していたこと（以前も少し取り上げた）に言及するなら、我々の世界の実在を証明するには他の世界からの観測によるしかないですが、我々の世界はトライナリーの世界の他にすでにシェルの世界にも観測されています。さらにプリムを操っていた人物にも観測されているので、現時点で少なくとも３つの異なる世界から観測されており、実在の確度は高いと思われます。（無論メタ的には、全てが同じ世界の中で完結してしまっているけど。）

Twitter accounts seem to have been disconnected again; maybe they think it's not good to fix where we are connected by our observation?  Mentioning what Miyabi was talking about (which I mentioned a little earlier), the only way to prove our existence is observation from other worlds, but our world have already been observed from the world of Ciel.  In addition, since it was also observed by the person who controlled Prim, it has been observed from at least three different worlds at this time.  Therefore, the accuracy of the existence of our world seems to be high.  (Of course, in meta, everything is complete in the same world, though.)

“彼ら”はもしかしたら、自分達が架空の存在だとわかっているのかもしれないと想像します。だからこその異世界通信やレディネス技術ではないかと。エリカさんにしても、未だに彼女がいつのどこにいるのか私達が確定できないからこそ、今のような干渉の仕方が可能なのではないかと。実験中の事故が本当にあったのか、今の状態は事故によるものなのか、定かではありませんが。

I imagine that they might know they are fictitious.  That's maybe why there are a communication with different worlds and Rediness technology.  Also in case of Erika, she might be able to intervene in this way because when and where she is still can't be determined.  I'm not sure if there really was an accident during an experiment or if her current condition was caused by the accident.

単にマルチサイトでもう一方の視点から見るだけなら、前例がたくさんあります。なぜ今回わざわざメインストーリーを一回やってから神楽チャンネルを開ける構成にしたのか、単純な思惑ではないと思うので、どのようなものを見られるのか期待大ですね。あと、今回はまだプレイヤーに対して甘いと感じるので、神楽ちゃんに遠慮なく斬っていただきたい。

There are many precedents for works using a multiple perspective.  I think it's not just a simple idea why Director Tsuchiya decided to open Kagura's channel after finishing the main story once, so I'm looking forward to what we can see.  Also, this time I still feel the game seems easy for players, so please do not hesitate to let Kagura hurt us.

前回の時点で予想してましたが、食器なら普通に使いまくります。（それでもウェッジウッドでも揃えられるレベルのお値段ではあるけど。）神楽ちゃんも自分の居場所をみつけられたようでよかった。最後にラブコールしてくれましたが、こうなるまでにどんな恐ろしい試練が（略）。

I have been expecting since the previous episode; I'm definitely going to use the tableware same as usual ones.  (It is still as expensive as Wedgewood, though.)  It was good Kagura seemed to find her whereabouts.  She told me her love at the end, but I'm afraid how severe trial I will have to go through to reach this point.

Kagura: Thank u for your help this time! The plan for cafe is going well, and I feel relation with others has become less awkward. I mean, I feel I can be with them even nearer than before. Anyway, I feel no more pain to be with them. Player: That's great. Kagura: Yeah And probably I owe it to u too, so I wanna say thank u. Player: I didn't do anything.

それはそうと、今作ではいっぱいキスできる機会があるのが良いです。（合計をカウントしているエヴェレットさんw）サージュではシリーズ通して結局５回くらい（しかもシェルノサージュ内では二度とできない）しかできなかったし。現実ではまだ一回もないので、ぜひ今後その機会も。

By the way, I like I have many chances to kiss the girls in Trinary.  (Everett is even keeping total counts!)  In Surge Concerto, I could kiss Ion about five times throughout the series, and I could never do it again in Ciel nosurge.  However, I haven't got to kiss the girls in reality (in the app) yet, so I wish for the chance in the future.

Everett: Well, but you have already kissed me 8 times.

一方で、みやびさんのように適度な距離を保ちつつ軽妙な言葉を交わすのも良いです。みやびさんと神楽ちゃんは、ふざけるのと真面目になるのを適切に使い分ける技術がいる点が共通しています。違うのは、みやびさんは外してもあまり怒らないけど、神楽ちゃんは容赦しない(^_^;)。

On the other hand, it is also nice to exchange witty words while keeping appropriate distance like Miyabi.  Miyabi and Kagura have the common character that I need to use the technique to switch properly between playing around and being serious.  The difference is that Miyabi doesn't get angry even if I'm off the point, but Kagura doesn't intend to forgive at such time.

Player: But relation between you and me is forever. Miyabi: You tend to give such pitch. I can't trust you easily. Player: It's a beautiful moon. Miyabi: Souseki Natsume, huh? There is an opinion that somebody just made it up later. However after all moon is beautiful. Player: Why don't we watch the moon together alone? Miyabi: I imagine how beautiful moon we would see. *Souseki Natsume, Japanese classic author, has been said he translated "I love you." to "It's a beautiful moon." in Japanese.

昨日は親宅でクリスマスパーティーしました。義父も年を越す前に退院できてよかったです。LINEスタンプ全部買いました！たれこもかわいかったので買いました。今のところ送る相手は家族だけですが(^_^;)。ぜひアプリ内でもプレイヤーがスタンプ使うシーン出してほしいです。

I had a Christmas party with my parents yesterday.  It was lucky my father-in-law could leave the hospital before New Year.  I bought all the Trinary LINE stamps!  I also bought Tareko stamps because it was cute.  For now, I can only send them to my family, though.  I wish for scenes which the player use these stamps in the app, too.

アフターストーリーの食器の話、神楽ちゃんのエピソードはもちろんですがつばめちゃんのこの話も微笑ましいです。従来の夫婦茶碗の形は男女不平等の象徴みたいな議論もありましたが、同じ大きさにすれば無問題です。カノンが発明した逆夫婦茶碗でも、つばめちゃんなら疑問なく納得しそう。

Among episodes about tableware in After Story, besides Kagura's story, this Tsubame's story is also heartwarming.  There is an argument that the traditional shape of meoto chawan (a pair of rice bowls which is often used as a wedding gift; generally a big bowl is designed for husband and a small bowl for wife) is a symbol of gender inequality, but there would be no problem if they are same size.  I guess Tsubame would accept even Meoto Donburi (practically reverse meoto chawan), which Kanon invented in Ar nosurge, without question.

Tsubame: But My dad is using a different rice bowl now. Since my mom got in the hospital, he said it's meaningless to use it alone, and he has kept it in the cover. I thought it was very nice. I admire that  I want to use the same kind of rice bowl someday. Player: That's why you like rice bowls?

Kanon:
Therefore, I decided a wife needed physical strength more than a husband, and I ended up making this pair of rice bowls.


これ、ガブちゃんすごく頑張ったと思います。豊洲クソゴミ事件wの時もそうだったように、リスクがあっても積極的に自分から受け入れようとするところは、やはり西洋的な考え方に感じます。本来14歳の子には難しいことだと思いますが、本当に聡明でいい子だなあ。

I think Gabriella really tried hard on this.  I feel it is Western way of thinking that to accept others actively even there is a risk, as she did after the Toyosu Shitting Rubbish Case.  I suppose it is actually difficult for a 14-years-old girl; I think she is really bright and good girl.

Gabriella: ...Because we are friends.

ガストカレンダーが来ましたよ！かなり大きいので、結構上に貼る必要がありますね（私はもちろんシェルノサージュVer.）。全部とても素敵なイラストです。イオンも等身大ぐらいありそうで臨場感ありますが、クリアポスターは丁重にしまっておこうと思います…(^_^;)。

Gust Calendar has arrived!  It's quite big, so I need to hang it high on the wall.  (I chose Ciel nosurge version, of course.)  Illustrations on all pages are splendid.  Ion on the calendar is almost life-size and makes me feel realistic, but I'm gonna keep the transparent poster in my drawer carefully.

*First page is Atelier Marie, GUST's legendary first title of Atelier series.

シェルノサージュのイベントも一応頑張りましたが、ポーラーズメモリーあってもいつどこで着るのか(^_^;)。アフターストーリーは思いの外シリアスな感じで、あの後なら当然でしょう。ここではもう神楽ちゃんとチャットできてますが、未来が改変できてればできるはずでしょうか。

I tried hard for the Ciel nosurge collaborative event, but when and where would the girls wear Polar's Memory (a prize for the event)?  After Story seems more serious than I thought, I guess it is natural since this is a sequel of the main story.  I can already chat with Kagura here, does that mean I should be able to do it if the future is changed?

Kagura: I'm relieved. They are saying they don't mind what I did, and I suppose they mean it, but I can't totally believe in it. Player: Why? Kagura: Pyonko knows. Girls' "Never mind" tends to mean they mind that. "Never mind."  (They don't really say "Never mind.") "BFF"  (They don't really say "We are friends forever.") Player: You have painful memories, don't you. Kagura: Everyone has. But I might have a lot.

"YOU" Earthes Appears in Surge Concerto series.  Creator, manufactured place, functions, specification, and all are unknown, but there is high possibility it was supposed to work for combat.

昼飯中にファミ通読んでたのですが、土屋さん奇遇！私も「のび太の魔界大冒険」一番好きです！ド田舎で映画を気軽に見られなかったので、ドラえもん大長編は大半漫画原作だけですが（コロコロ愛読者）、あれはギミックが本当に面白かった。藤子不二雄先生は他のSF短編も傑作なので、未読の方はぜひ。

I read through Fami-Tsu Magazine during lunch time, and what a coincidence, Tsuchiya-san!  I like "Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld" the best, too!  I used to live in the counryside when I was little, so I couldn't watch movies easily at that time.  I have known long story series of Doraemon mostly by manga only (I was a regular reader of Korokoro Comic).  Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld was really interesting for its gimmick.  Fujio Fujiko's other science fiction short comics are also masterpieces; I recommend you if you have never read them.

※後日追記
ストーリーは本当に面白い「のび太の魔界大冒険」ですが、今考えるとこれもしずかちゃんの扱いがひどいので現代ではアウトでしょうね。（魔法でスカートめくりされて、それをオチにも使われてしまう。）リメイク版の方はどうだったのでしょうか。私は藤子不二雄先生の漫画で育ちましたが、一方で性加害を「ゆかいないたずら」として、国民的レベルで子供に広めた罪があると思います。

*Additional Notes
Although the story of "Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld" is really interesting, I think it is not acceptable in present because Shizuka, a regular girl character, is treated abusively.  (Her skirt is flipped by Nobita's magic, and it is repeated at the end.)  I wonder how it was handled when the movie was remade later.  I grew up with Mr. Fujiko Fujio's manga, but I think their works are guilty for expressing sexual harassment as "funny tricks" to children at the national level.


>Later 16:18
神きどりの“彼ら”は気に食わないですが、それや千羽鶴ちゃんの計画とは別に、「つばめちゃんのフェノメノンをずっと維持すべきか」は、別の問題になると思います。現実として、急に今の世界が廃墟になったら大パニックになるだろうし、インフラも失われてしまうのでさらなる犠牲者が出るかもしれません。よって、当面今の世界を継続することは必要ですが、この先つばめちゃんの身に何かあったらどうするのか、将来は後継者を用意するのか？となると、アルシエルの星詠みたいな発想になってしまいます。（統一国家側は実験と称する通り、用済みになったら捨て置くつもりだったのかもしれないけど。）

I don't like "Them" who think they are God or something, but aside from Chiharu's plan and Them, I consider the question "Should Tsubame's Phenomenon be kept?" would be another problem.  If the world suddenly turns into ruins, I suppose people would get in a big panic, and that may cause more people to die because the infrastructure would be lost.  Therefore, it is necessary to keep the current Phenomenon for now, but what if something happens to Tsubame?  Would they bring a substitute in the future?  Then, the situation becomes similar to Hoshiyomi in Ar Ciel.  (AEZ might have intended to throw Japan away when it is used up, as they claims it an experiment.)

なので理想としては、人間を発症させずにフェノメノンを作る技術を開発することですね。（または段階的にフェノメノンを小さくして、現実での復興を少しずつ進める、かな。）この先の世界分岐は総意によるそうですが、先のアンケート結果を見るに千羽鶴ちゃんを受け入れたい人の方が多いと思うので、多分大丈夫でしょう。以前ちらっと出てきた“別の世界の千羽鶴”と称するのが、もしかしてこの先の世界の存在でしょうか。

Because of that, my ideal is to develop a technology to form a Phenomenon without making a human Onset.  (Or, to make the Phenomenon gradually smaller and proceed with reconstruction in reality little by little, perhaps.)  It seems that the world divergence ahead is going to be decided by our consensus, but I think there are many people who want to accept Chiharu according to the result of the previous survey, so it probably will be fine.  I wonder if "Chiharu of another world" whom I saw briefly before is possibly an existence in the future world ahead of us.

Hyakkaku (Hundred Clanes): I'm a navi of this program in the world different from yours, Chiharu.

私は千羽鶴ちゃんが撃たれたことはそれほどショックじゃないんですが（世界が既に再構築の段階に入っているから？）、できれば、彼女も与えられた使命から解放されて生きるチャンスがあってほしいと思います。アルシエルのオリジンの子たちが今そうであるように。

I'm not so shocked for Chiharu getting shot (because the world has been already in the reconstruction phase?), but I wish she had a chance to live away from her mission.  Just as Origin girls in Ar Ciel now.

エリカさんは自分の無力さを感じているかもしれないけど、社会の中で生きていたら政治に関係ない人なんていないんですよ。ロボット作りが好きだっただけの女の子が、よその星の最高権力者になることもある。科学者には科学者の戦い方があるので、自信を持ってそれを全うしてほしい。

Erika may feel she has no power, but there is no one who has nothing to do with politics if you live in a society.  A girl who just liked making robots can become the most powerful person on another planet.  Scientists have their own way of fighting, so I hope her to do it with confidence.

Erika:
I'm not good at politics or making people moved, but I'm able to figure out an answer to this kind of problem.

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?

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.

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.

東京ゲームショウの動画見ました！以前の放送で話していたお揃いのイヤリングが皆さん素敵でした。たけだまりこさんの応援パフォーマンスが最高でした。大喜利でエリカさんが一番人気だったの、知らない人はなんで？と思ったでしょうねwグッズ楽しみにしています！

加隈さんは今でも自分のことを「エリカさんのお友達」と言っていて、トライナリーのキャストは最初からそういうものはなかったのに、加隈さん自身のこだわりなのかなと思いました。やはり過ごした時の長さ、話したワード数も桁違いでしょうし…。感慨深いですね。

I have watched the video of Tokyo Game Show!  Trinary members were wearing same earrings, it was neat.  I liked Mariko Takeda-san's cheering performance (to FreyMENOW) the most!  At Oogiri (a game which you are supposed to provide funny answers to the themes), I guess beginners didn't get why Erika was the most popular.  I'm looking forward for the new product!

Kakuma-san still calls herself "Erika-san's Friend" while Trinary members didn't have such concept from the beginning.  I thought it might be Kakuma-san's preferences.  After all, length of time she spent and number of words she spoke during Surge Concerto are extraordinary...I'm deeply moved.

今コラボ中の「世界樹の迷宮」、私は初代を結構遊んだのですが、２と３で挫折してその後やってませんでした。今回サイトを眺めてたら、つい久し振りにポチってしまいました。もう十年経ったということが何気にショック。ところで、世界樹側のサイトにコラボ情報が全然ないのはなにゆえ。

About collaborative campaign with the game "Sekaiju No Meikyu" (meaning "Labyrinth of Yggdrasill") currently running, I played the first one a lot, but I couldn't finish 2 and 3, I haven't played after that.  While I was reading the official site, I couldn't help clicking to buy after long time!  I'm a little shocked it has been already ten years.  By the way, why there's no information about the collaboration on the Sekaiju official site?

Sep. 19, 2017

今帰宅。ニコ生忘れるところでした。(^_^;)今日はリアルタイムで見れそうです。久し振りに加隈さんいらっしゃるので、思わずコメントが偏っても許してください…。端末プレイヤーにとってはとても大きな存在なのです。

I'm home now!  I almost forgot Nico Nico Live.  I think I can watch the program on time today.  Since Kakuma-san is going to show up after long time, please don't mind if my comments gets wild...she is really a great existence for the terminal unit players.

>Later 22:45
ニコ生、今回は情報多かったですね！待っていたCD発売は嬉しい！（でもキャラソン特典版高すぎやしませんか…。）そして加隈さんの落ち着き。すごい慣れた風でしたね。昔、今井麻美さんの番組でシェルノサージュ紹介やった時はあんなにガチガチだったのにw

There was a lot of information in today's Nico Nico Live!  I'm glad for long-awaited CD release!  (But isn't special edition of Character Song Album too expensive?)  And Kakuma-san's calmness was remarkable.  She seemed really a veteran.  I remember she was so nervous when she appeared in Asami Imai-san's program to introduce Ciel nosurge.

※↑発掘したので当時の動画のリンクを貼っちゃいますw（ちなみにアルノサージュ紹介時の動画は私の前ブログの記事にリンクがあります。）

*I found the old video of this Imai-san's program, so I show you here!  (FYI, there's a link in my old blog for the video of Imai-san's program introducing Ar nosurge.)
*There's no English sub.



加隈さんも端末プレイヤーに対して何かしらあることを期待してくれてるんじゃないかなと思います。エリカさんもだけど、もう一度イオン（寧）の声を聞きたいです。あ、今回もトライナリー組の皆さんは飛ばしてて面白かったです。中恵さんが本当にもうw

I suppose Kakuma-san is also expecting that something special will be given to terminal unit players.  Same as Erika, I want to hear Ion's (Nei's) voice again.  Oh, and Trinary members were free spirited and funny as usual.  Especially Nakae-san!

神楽ちゃんはフェノメノンから抜け出したのではないかとコメントしてた人がいましたが、そういう解釈もありかも。神楽ちゃんの詩にそういう力があるのなら、それも都合の悪いことになるし。最終回の告知もされてましたが、記録映像がそこまでということじゃないでしょうか。シェルノサージュもずっとそこに至る経緯を見てからが本番でした。千羽鶴ちゃんが目的を達成した時点か、さらなる想定外の事態が起こるのかわかりませんが、まだ完結ではないと私は予想します。THE ENDが出たとしても。「この決意を忘れませんか？はい／いいえ」

There was a comment mentioning maybe Kagura had come out from Phenomenon, such interpretation might be possible.  If Kagura's song has such ability, that would be an inconvenient point too.  There was an announcement for the last episode as well; I think it means the anime movie (documentary) is the last, not the game itself.  In Ciel nosurge, after watching story up to the present was actually the main chapter.  I don't know whether the turning point is when Chiharu achieves her purpose or additional unexpected trouble will happen, but whatever, I suppose it's not the end yet.  Even if "THE END" appears on the display.  "Will you not forget your vow?  Y/N"

※メガCD「LUNAR ETERNAL BLUE」（ゲームアーツ）で、THE ENDが出た後、この質問にはいを答えることでその後の展開がプレイできる仕掛けは当時驚愕でした。この作品はセガサターンでリメイクされてPSにも移植されているので、未プレイの方はぜひ。

*In the old video game "LUNAR ETERNAL BLUE" by Game Arts for Sega CD (Mega-CD), it was a surprise that answering Yes to this question after the end mark enables to play episode after that.  This title was remade for Sega Saturn, and it can be played on PlayStation too.  I recommend it if you have never played!

ところで、これも前に書きましたが未来予測の計算は技術的に（実用レベルの速さで）可能なのか？という疑問、TRI-OSが量子コンピュータを使用しているなら納得です。最先端技術を取り入れるとはさすが。記憶媒体はどうなっているのか知りたいですね。最近のWIREDの記事では、DNAや原子（？！）を使用する可能性が書かれてましたが、こういうのをつきつめるとレーヴァテイルの精神がサーバーに入っているようなのに近づく気がします。土屋ファンクラスタとしてはこの辺も興味ありますが。

By the way, I have written the question before, that whether calculation of future forecast is technically possible (with practical speed), but I understand if TRI-OS is using a quantum computer.  I was impressed Tsuchiya-san was using the latest technology.  I want to know what kind of storage medium they use.  According to a recent WIRED article, possibility to use DNA or atom is indicated; I think development of such technology is going to be close to the setting Reyvateil's spirit is stored in a server.  On the other hand, I'm curious about this article as one of Director Tsuchiya's fan cluster.

Sep. 6, 2017

ニコ生楽しみですね！神楽ちゃんの創作に関する話は個人的に掘り下げてみたいので、いずれブログで書きたいと思います。しかし、なぜ彼女があんな辛い目に遭わないといけないのか、悲しくなりますね。土屋作品のヒロインたちの苦労に比べたら、プレイヤーの苦労なんて微々たるものですよ。

I'm looking forward to watch upcoming Nico Noco Live program!  I want to dig into consideration about Kagura's creation, so maybe I'll write it on my blog later.  However, I'm sad why she must suffer that much.  Sufferings of the player are really tiny compared with that of heroines in Director Tsuchiya's works.

神楽ちゃんがフレイメノウと知ってから私がもう１つ考えたのが、彼女の魂はこの世界のものなのかということです。精神操作ができるなら、人格も記憶も本来とは全く別人にすることもできると思うし。斜め上の想像としては、例えばシェルノサージュでイオンが死んでしまった可能性軸で、あの時強制的に移動してしまったネロの魂はどこへ行ったのか（あれでは元の世界に帰れないと言ってましたね）。意図的な誘拐じゃなくとも、そういうケースで魂がアース世界にたどり着くこともあるのではと考えます。仮にそうだとしても何も解決しませんが…。

Since I knew Kagura was FreyMENOW, I have been thinking whether her soul came from this space (Earthes).  If they can control her mind, her personality and memory would be made totally different from those of her original.  Imagining eccentrically, for example, where did Nelo's soul go after she was forced to move in the possibility axis which Ion died in Ciel nosurge?  (Nelo said she wouldn't be able to go back to her own world in that way.)  Other than a kidnapping on purpose, there may be a case which a soul reaches to Earthes world by such reasons.  Even if we assume so, nothing would be solved, though...

>Later 23:35
ハラハラする展開になってきましたねー。妨害はやはり千羽鶴ちゃんですか。サージュ未経験者は千羽鶴ちゃんを出せ！と思ってるかもしれないですね(^_^;)。こちらの行動が彼女の目的に合致する又は目的自体を変えることができれば、協力できそうに思います。個人的には期待したい。

It's getting white-knuckle.  So the interruption of chat is made by Chiharu after all.  People who have not played Surge Concerto series might complain to show Chiharu.  If our action suits with Chiharu's purpose or makes her change it, I think we would be able to work together.  I personally hope that.

Erika Kunimasa: Honestly, I was ready to be broken with you when I blocked Chiharu.

久し振りに（アルノサージュの後で）加隈さんの声が聞けて嬉しいですが、やっぱり寧本人に会いたいですね。直接話せなくても近況だけでも知りたい。彼女が願ってくれたように、彼女が彼女の世界で幸せでいてくれることが、端末プレイヤーにとっても幸せなのです。

I'm happy to hear Kakuma-san's voice since it's been a while after Ar nosurge, but I hope to see Nei herself after all.  At least I want to know how Nei is doing even if I can't directly talk with her.  As she has wished, it's my happiness that she is being happy in her world.

Aug. 21, 2017

今作は、正にサージュでのBotの立場を体験する話と言ってもいいでしょう。世界をとるか彼女をとるかで、彼女を取りたい立場の。ネロを助けるのにBotは人を殺すこともいといませんでしたが、もしイオンがネロのように世界を犠牲にしても帰りたい心に染まってしまっていたら、果たしてうまく収拾できたか、自信がありません。

This title can be defined as a story to experience Bot's side in Surge novels, the side you want to choose her along the world and her.  Bot didn't hesitate to kill others to help Nelo, but if Ion was totally convinced that she would go home in return of sacrificing the world, I'm not sure whether I could settle things down well.

そうならずにすんだのは、イオンが試練を通じてラシェーラの人々との繋がりを得られたからに他なりません。トライナリーの子達もそれは同じで、彼女達は既に人の温かさや繋がりを知っていると思うからこそ、信じてサポートすることができます。

It didn't happen because Ion could develop ties with people in Ra Ciela through her exam.  Same as Trinary members, I believe they have already known that bonding and ties with people, I trust and support them.

必ずや世界も彼女たちの自由も両立できる道があるはず。それにしても、サージュの小説を読んだ時に私は「綾とも話したい」と感想を書きましたが、まさかこんな直近でぶっこまれるとは思いませんでしたね…。参りました。

I believe there's a way to take both their freedom and saving the world.  Switching gear, I had written my impression for the Surge novel that I wanted to talk with Aya, but I never imagined he would throw it in so fast.  I surrender!

Aug. 11, 2017

メインストーリーの方ですが、まさかのダイナミックお持ち帰りで戦闘らしい戦闘にならなかったですね。神楽ちゃんがあそこでフェノメノン出しちゃったのは予定外だったということでしょうか。実在の千羽鶴ちゃんは管理庁の偉いさんなのかしら？あの後どうするんだろう。

About the main story, the battle wasn't quite a battle because of the incredible dynamic taking home.  Kagura's Phenomenon appeared at that moment was unexpected?  Chiharu in the movie is supposed to be an executive of the Ministry?  What would they do after that?

>Later 0:56

トライナリーの皆の半人格はすでにシステムの一部になってしまっていて、切り離したとしてもちゃんと回復できるのか、個人的に心配。みやびさんの元司書さんの様子から、そろそろひっくり返りそうな気配がしますね。まだ姿を見てないあやみさんの元司書さんの安否も気になりますが…。

The new Librarians of Trinary members, half-personalities, have been already a part of the system.  Thus I'm worried whether they would be safely recovered after they are cut from the system.  According to Miyabi's former Librarian, I guess things seem to be turned out soon.  I also care for Ayami's former Librarian whom I haven't seen since then...

今日のあやみさんのブログ、あの水着を露出度低いと思える感覚がズレていると思います…(^_^;)。それはそうと記念写真が辛すぎる。（あやみさんがセルフタイマー使わないのは疑問ですが。）しかも今回全員に神楽ちゃんのエピソードあるし…。完全に泣かせにきてますね(;_;)。

Today's Ayami's post in Daytora, I think she's missing the point for assuming that her swimsuit is less revealing...By the way, the commemorative photo is too painful.  (I wonder why Ayami doesn't use self-timer.)  Moreover, this week's episodes are all Kagura's story for each channel!  I bet staffs are trying to make us cry.

Gabriella: Okay. Any time.

>Later 22:13

シェルノサージュでは序盤からデート行けたし、記憶の修復もシャール任せだったので、今思うと気楽でしたね。トライナリーは今のところ癒し:ストレスが3:7くらいなので（私の体感調べ）、内容はすごく面白いのに何の苦行？と時々思います。それが好きなんだけどね！

In Ciel nosurge, I could go out with Ion from the beginning, and I could let Sharls recover her memories, so it was easy as I remember now.  For Trinary, the current ratio of Healing:Stress is about 3:7 (in my sense); I sometimes feel "What is this ascetic practices?" even though the content is very interesting.  I like it, though!

July 17, 2017

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 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.
