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".

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.
