Update： March 11th 2013. 1 03 am (Japan time) Posted by Mika Iwamuro Visitors total： - today： - yesterday： - (Mon) March 11th 2013, the white dog Lee-chan is still missing. The real owner Mr. Okubo is still looking for his white dog (named Lee-chan) desperately. The real owner of Japan Two Loyal Tsunami Dogs, Mr. Okubo described how he felt [1](2) http //youtu.be/llqfGPkKlPg June 30th 2012 Ms. Akiko Fujimura’s talk show, at Yokohama Japan. Akiko is Nippon SPCA founder (Japanese animal protection group). (Translation and filming, by Mika Iwamuro.) I still don t work on subtitles on this move, but I finished just translation below. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Today everyone, I want you to buy this book, which was written by Ms. Fujimura wrote "Victim Pets Rescue". The dog on a cover, Is there anyone who watched this dog? Ah, there is. Before this work, Aftermath of the Earthquake, on the broadcast, I knew this one. The dog became very famous in various ways. The owner of the dog, Mr. Okubo, please come. Everybody, please greet him with applause. Ms. Fujimura, could you introduce him to everyone simply? [Ms. Akiko Fujimura] Yes well.. Today he came here from far away, thanks Mr. Okubo. His house was washed away by the tsunami, so he lives in other place now. This dog was televised, and now the dog, over 100,000 video views on youtube. Not just in Japan, but also overseas, CNN, ABC, actually these two dogs were televised. He is the owner of these dogs. In fact, this dog, brown one named Mei-chan was found, and another white dog named Lee-chan is still missing. I hope that white dog will be found, so I wrote the book. I appreciate, he came here from far away, while he is busy. I think I would like to hear from him, I hope everyone listen to the end. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] All right, there is only one mike, so first of all, I would like to hear various things from Mr. Okubo. Thank you for coming. [Mr. Okubo] Ah. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] The disaster area still... I have seen Yokohama-city, it seems that we have gotten back to our ordinary days. But still... How is it the status in disaster area now? [Mr. Okubo] The situation is still unchanged... I m anxious about the future. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] I agree.. When you suffered from the earthquake, what the situation was you in? Your dogs and your family, suffered in different locations? [Mr. Okubo] Yes. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] How was it in the aftermath of the disaster? [Mr. Okubo] The first, my family flashed into my mind. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] You and your family suffered in different locations. Could you tell me the details in that situation? How could you meet your family again? [Mr. Okubo] Then I returned my home by car.. and I rescued my dogs. Ah.. first, I looked for my family, and I rescued my dogs.. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Then your dogs were in your house? [Mr. Okubo] Yes, no human was in my house, when my parent went to work, so there were only my dogs. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Arahama-district is the area had huge damage by the tsunami. When you rescued your dogs, before the tsunami came? [Mr. Okubo] Yes, before it came. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] You rescued your dogs by your quick wit. [Mr. Okubo] Yes..I wanted to save my dogs anyway. After rescued, my dog showed me her very joy, and she seemed concerned about me, she licked my face. In a car, she had licked my face scores of times, so when I thought that I may can t drive a car. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Your dog felt so relieved. These dogs were rescued once by Mr. Okubo. But after that why were they in the situation on TV? Everyone wonder when what happened? You rescued your dogs once, after that.... [Mr. Okubo] I rescued them..and I took refuge in the elementary school with my dogs. I kept my dogs on a lead in the elementary school. However, I couldn t take my dogs, when I took refuge by helicopter. (A Self-Defense Forces Personnel told him that helicopter does not take the dogs. In Japan, in an emergency, people take priority over animals. Even if Self-Defense Forces have enough space for some dogs in helicopter, then they abandon dogs, It s the "rule" in Japan. I am ashamed it as a Japanese, I think that Japan has no right to sell any animals.) [Mr. Okubo] So...I left my dogs in the elementary school. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] You could take refuge with your dogs once, but after that, you had to take in helicopter to refuge other place, then you couldn t take them in helicopter. [Mr. Okubo] Yes, I couldn t stay there until the end. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Ah....and after that, dogs got lost? [Mr. Okubo] When I took in helicopter, I kept my dogs on a leash. But I returned there a few days later, it seems that someone went of the leash on my dogs, one dog (white dog) was not there..... (A man told Mr. Okubo "There is some dog food for a week-10 days in Elementary School.", so he left his two dogs in Elementary School, and he went to the work of the Volunteer fire department to help other people.) [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Even though you rescued your dogs once, and kept them on a leash, but after that someone unleash for some reason... And the dog got lost.. [Mr. Okubo] Yes... [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] How many people, is there anyone who has seen this video? There are the people raise hands.. I watched this video, too. Aftermath the earthquake, it became the talk of the whole huge people. So many people said "What happened afterwards?" on many blog. For example Ms. Aya Sugimoto s blog, on her comment field, "What happened on the dogs afterwards?" "Does anyone know of the dogs safe?", so many people all over Japan were worried about these dogs. (Ms. Aya Sugimoto is a Japanese famous TV talent. She has been working on animal welfare.) After that many rumors have appeared "I heard these dogs were rescued" "It seems that the dogs were rescued", and I had believed in that false reports, too. And when I read Ms. Fujimura s book, I noticed the white dog has been missing, even now she is still missing. Have you known a false rescued report? [Mr. Okubo] .......Yes... I have known. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] What did you think of when you hear that? [Mr. Okubo] I thought that "where is my dog?" "if my dog is truly somewhere, we want her to come back to us." my family said, too. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Not only Mr. Okubo, but also many people have been looking for their pets, have you tried something to find your dog? [Mr. Okubo] We have been to the seaside over and over, I have thought my dog may be somewhere. (and also Mr. Okubo visited animal control center in Miyagi-prefecture, in May to July 2011. ) [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] I see, now, there is the photo of the dogs, on the left side, rare dog breeds Brittany Spaniel, Mei-chan, she already was rescued and she has been together with Okubo family. [Mr. Okubo] Yes. [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Mei-chan was found. [Mr. Okubo] Yes, when I got back the school, Mei came close to me. (March 18th 2011) Mei had a sad expression on her face, so I felt Lee got lost... [Ms. Kaori Hayakawa] Then another dog, Lee-chan was not there. And Mr. Okubo has tried to hardly to search for Lee-chan, but Lee-chan is still missing. [Mr. Okubo] Yes... Details and Timeline (Fri) March 11th, 2011 Mr. Hisato Okubo is a very courageous and tender and loyal person. On March 11th, 2011, when the tsunami came, the moment Mr. Hisato Okubo heard the tsunami warning, he returned his home, and he took his two dogs (Mei-chan and Lee-chan) and took refuge to the fives floor in Elementary School. Soon after that, his house was washed away by the tsunami. If Mr. Okubo did not return his home, maybe Mei-chan is no more... Mei-chan (brown tan dog) was rescued by Mr. Okubo who is her real owner, on March 18th 2011. (Sat)March 12, 2011 Mr. Okubo joined the volunteer of fire department. A man told him "There is some dog foods for a week-10 days in Elementary School.", so he left two dogs in Elementary School, and he went to the work of the Volunteer fire department to help other people. Until March 12, 2011, two dogs were chained in Elementary School, but it seems that someone lost the chaine... (Sun) March 13th, 2011 and in the evening on (Sun) March 13th, 2011, two dogs were filmed by Japanese Fuji Television crew. (Mon) March 14, 2011, about 7 am (Japan time) The photo of Lee-chan was taken by Takuya Imai who is a cameraman of Japan Nikkei news paper, at near by Madoka-Ann, on March 14th, 2011. about 7 am Madoka-Ann was the place where the dogs filmed by Fuji TV 津波で倒壊した家に残る犬（14日午前、仙台市若林区）＝写真 今井拓也 A dog stay with a house which was collapsed by tsunami (March 14th, 2011. Morning, Arahama) = The picture by Takuya Imai When these dogs filmed by Fuji TV on March 13th 2011, 4-5 pm, white dog (Lee-chan) laid herself down on the ground, but next morning Lee-chan stood up by herself in Nikkei photo. Their real owner Mr. Okubo and his family said “This dog of the photo is Lee!” (Mon) March 14th 2011, about 9 40 pm (Japan time) The two stay together tsunami dogs were aired on Japanese Fuji TV. http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=uct9Kzjw9XY sns=em (Thu) March 17th, 2011. about5 30 pm (Japan time) Japanese Fuji Television reported false rescue story "both dogs were rescued by an animal protection group". http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=5awVBo7WSaw sns=em (Fri) March 18th, 2011. CNN reported false rescue story "both dogs were rescued by bikers". http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B0YuxmtlOA sns=em The rescue reports on CNN/FujiTV/more are based on the rumor on Facebook page and were not checked out. On March 18, 2011, Mr. Okubo found Mei-chan in Arahama elementary school in Sendai-city Japan. But Lee-chan was not there. Thereafter, Mr. Okubo and his family have been looking for Lee-chan desperately. At that time, Mr. Okubo and his family were still not knowing that their dogs were aired on the TV around the world, because their home was washed away by the tsunami, and they lost TV and internetwork environment, many other victims, too. So they have been looking for Lee-chan intently, since March 18th 2011. About late of July, 2011. Fuji TV reporter Mr. Yamashina visited Okubo s house. Mr. Yamashina saw Mei-chan and made sure that Mei-chan is the same dog aired on Fuji TV. Mr. Yamashina told Mr. Okubo "There is a rumor that a dog was rescued by a man who live in Chiba prefecture." Mr. Okubo and his family said "If that man has Lee, we want him to return Lee to us." But as everyone know, that man has not rescued the two dogs. September 8th, 2011, I could contact with Mr. Okubo for the first time, thanks to everyone s efforts, thank you 2 channel users, thank you Global Animal and GA readers! Thank you Mr. Harigaya! If it were not for GA reports and GA reader s comments, and 2 channel user s posts, and Mr. Harigaya s advice, I could not contact Mr. Okubo. GA reports and GA readers comments encouraged me very much many time. NipponSPCA in Disaster area nipponspca2011/11/05 http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMSUzflbZc sns=em Akiko Fujimura who is the Nippon SPCA founder, met the dog owner Mr. Okubo on September 14th 2011 for the first time, when she actually saw brown tan dog named Mei. March - April 2012, Mei eat food, this movie was taken by Mika, on Aplil 1st 2012. http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjn6O4Lf_yE sns=em I phoned the owner of two tsunami dogs Mr. Okubo on September 8th 2011, for the first time. And I met the owner in March - April 2012, for the first time. When I actually saw brown tan dog named Mei-chan. Mei-chan is very cute very fine. (Sat) June 30th, 2012 I went Akiko Fujimura s talk event on, at Yokohama Kanagawa Japan. Ms. Akiko Fujimura (left), Mika Iwamuro (middle), Mr. Okubo (right) Ms. Akiko is so cute, but my face was oily and shining , right man is Mr. Okubo who is the owner of Lee-chan Akiko s blog. (All in Japanese) 震災ペットを救う！トークイベント3カ所全て満員御礼☆ 2012/07/01 12 36 http //ameblo.jp/73akiko/entry-11291415235.html ■Several Major Medias reported a false rescue story "both dogs were rescued" around the world update February 7th, 2013. (Japan time) http //www18.atwiki.jp/2dogs/pages/34.html Two years ago, after the Japan Big Earthquake Tsunami, in March 2011, Fuji TV(Japan), CNN, NPR, TYT, CBS(America), UK telegraph, ITN(England), Apple Daily(Hong Kong), Russian TV, more, Several major media reported false rescue story “Two loyal tsunami dogs were rescued by an animal rescue. Happy ending!” . But in fact, white dog (female setter) is still missing since (Mon) March 14th 2011. Major media still have NOT corrected their wrong reports. There were NO film/picture of after dogs were rescued, on major medias rescue report. There were only stray dogs, on their rescue report. The rescue reports on CNN/FujiTV/more are based on the rumor on Facebook page and were not checked out. And March 11th 2013, even now, Fuji TV has never corrected their wrong report "both dogs were rescued". Many Japanese (including me and Mr. Okubo) have asked Fuji TV to correct their wrong report many time, again and again. If Fuji TV reported the truth, Lee-chan would be found. But Fuji TV always says “The person in charge is currently not present” and ignore our voice. Maybe, if Fuji TV reports the truth (Lee-chan is still missing), then Fuji TV lose their popularity and Fuji lose the benefit. So Japanese media has not report the truth. Till now, I also sent some message to CNN, NPR, UK telegraph, ABC, but I have no reply. And I asked some Japanese media to report the truth, but they said We cannot air that story because that story is sad, and we may cannot get audience measurement. If white dog will be found, may we air that story ." “We don’t have the authority to correct the Fuji TV false report.” March 10th 2013, even now, his White Setter has been missing since March 14 2011. Even now, Mr. Okubo is still looking for this white dog desperately for two years. Brown tan dog named Mei-chan was rescued by their real owner Mr. Okubo on March 18th 2011, and brown tan dog has been together with Mr. Okubo. It was wrong report that both two dogs were rescued by bikers. We already asked Kahoku news paper (Japanese Tohoku region local news paper) to report an article of missing Lee-chan, this article will be reported on March 11th (tomoeeow) on Kahoku news paper morning edition. This morning edition is delivered to 44 thousand houses in 6 prefectures of Tohoku region (mainly Miyagi-prefecture) every day. (Arahama Sendai-city is in Miyagi-prefecture Japan) But it is not a free service. I and some Japanese spent our money to it, we expect that effect. But if Lee-chan was adopted to far away from Miyagi-prefecture in Japan, when it is hard for us to find Lee-chan, so I asked many Japanese to share spread to help find missing Lee-chan, all over Japan. And I want to request many overseas people to share spread the truth of missing Lee-chan on internet Email. I hope the truth will win the false rescue rumors and false major media. We want as many people as possible to know that Lee-chan is still missing and their real owner Mr. Okubo is still looking for Lee-chan desperately. I can no longer be expected major media report the truth. So please your help. Please share spread this fact on Facebook, Twitter, blog, other SNS, and Email. I think that if many people spread the truth on Internet Email all over the world, then many people know the truth, and Lee-chan will surely be found! Even now, many people believe that Lee-chan (white dog) was already rescued. So even now, fake rescue rumors are hindering us from searching for the missing white dog (Lee-chan). In fact, Mei-chan (brown tan dog) was rescued by her real owner Mr. Okubo, I think this is Real Brave Story. A man said "Major media make money by publishing stories people want to know. It is not about the truth. Two dogs were rescued was a good story, even if it s a lie." Everyone! Do you want FAKE good story? I say “NO”. There are several possible. I want to try all means possible to find Lee-chan. I thought there is possibility that Lee-chan is dead. But at the same time there is possibility that Lee –chan is alive! Maybe Lee chan was rescued by foreign people, and carried somewhere. Maybe Lee chan was rescued neighbor and she is alive, and neighbor does not have Internet, so neighbor does not know that the owner is looking for Lee chan. There are many possible. I want to try all means possible to find Lee-chan. Do you know someone who had been in Sendai around March to April 2011? Actually, PETA Asia, Kinship Circle, HIS, and more foreign animal rescuers and foreign cameraman and foreign human rescues had been in Sendai Japan just after the earthquake in March 2011. So it s some possible that Lee-chan was rescued by overseas people. But I don’t know other foreign animal rescue team and other people. If you know, please tell them this information, and tell me (Mika Iamuro email twodogs_tottorimiyagi_mii3328@yahoo.co.jp). I have asked AFN, Heart Tokushima, PETA Asia, HSI, kinship circle, ASPCA, and Yoshiko Wada. AFN, Heart Tokushima, PETA Asia, HSI, Yoshiko said that they have not had the information of dog who like Lee-chan. Kinship Circle, ASPCA, Ashley Fruno, have not replied me. I was able to contact dog s owner on September 8th 2011, for the first time. I didn t know about white dog has been missing, until I heard it from dog s owner. I have been looking for Lee (white dog) since September 2011. During that time, some people have told me "There are not only these two famous dogs, there are many other animals who need rescue." I knew. Everyone knew that. Needless to say, there are a lot of animals need rescue around the world. If there are many other animals need rescue, then should we abandon two dogs? You don t care if two dogs dies? Why don t you think try to help both animals(2 dogs and many other animals)? Many people are saying "Don t forget Fukushima animals! I want to help many animals." What is the difference between Lee-chan (white setter) and Fukushima animals? I think that there is NO difference Lee-chan and Fukushima animals. Both animals should be rescued. I don t want you to forget about Lee-chan (one of two loyal tsunami dogs who filmed by Fuji TV.). (Mon) March 11th 2013, Lee-chan is still missing, even now, her owner is still looking for Lee-chan desperately since March 2011. Lee-chan is her owner s treasure, family. Lee-chan already helped many victim animals, Lee-chan and Mei-chan attracted the people s attention to many victim animals, all over the world. Let s repay their loyal. Please help us find Lee-chan. Let’s reunite Lee-chan with her real owner Mr. Okubo and Mei-chan ! Their real owner Mr. Okubo and his family said "If a person who saved Lee hope that he/she keep Lee, it wouldn t be a problem. I would like to thank you so much for saving Lee." "I want to make clear dead or alive." "I still will not give up about Lee." "I want to meet Lee again." I really hope Lee-chan will be found this year and reunite her owner Mei-chan. March 11th 2013, the white dog is still missing. The White Setter named Lee has been missing since March 14 2011. Even now, their real owner Mr. Okubo has been looking for Lee desperately. Feature of the missing dog Name Lee (Lee-chan, ‘chan’ is Japanese honorific.)

THE END OF HER JOURNEY[1] ［編集］ Gauntleted hands shoved open the inn s front doors with a bang. Swirling ribbons of sand flowed into the common room. Reiter s broom went still. He stared. In the fading twilight, all the boy could see was a silhouette standing in the doorway. ガントレットをはめた手が宿屋のドアを威勢良く押し開けた。渦巻いた帯状の砂が休憩室に漂っていた。Reiterは箒の手を止め、目を見開いてじっと見つめていた。薄れて行く黄昏の中、少年が見る事が出来たのは入り口に立つシルエットのみだった。 For a long moment, only the unending drone of the sandstorm broke the silence. しばらくの間、絶え間なく続く砂嵐の低い唸りだけが静寂を破っていた。 The figure stepped forward. Heavy armor rattled. A white tunic spilled down his chestplate, bearing a strange symbol. But it was the weapon that held Reiter s eyes. A short length of black chain connected a handle with an evil-looking spiked weight. The man even carried a massive shield. It was taller than Reiter. The armor shook the inn s wooden floor with each step. The figure s head, encased in a thick helm, turned to look at the boy. シルエットの人物は前へ進み出た。ヘビーアーマーが音を立てた。奇妙なシンボルが縫い付けられた白い上衣が彼のチェストプレートから垂れ下がっていた。しかし、その武器がReiterの目を釘付けにした。黒い短い鎖の禍々しいフレイルだった。男は巨大な盾も携えていた。Reiterの背丈よりも大きなものだった。鎧は歩くごとに宿屋の木の床板を震わせた。その男は分厚い兜に包まれた頭を少年へと向けた。 Reiter was too terrified to run. So he just stared. And waited. Reiterは怯え、ただ目を見開き佇んでいた。 The man raised a hand to his helm and removed it. Flowing brown hair fell to his shoulders—her shoulders. Reiter s mouth dropped open in shock. That s a woman! He had never seen such detailed, frightening battle armor in his life, not even among the elite merchant guards that passed through town, and those crews were always men. At least, that was what Reiter assumed. He hadn t actually met that many. 男は兜に手をかけ、それを外した。流れるような茶色の髪が彼の—いや、彼女の肩に落ちた。Reiterは開いた口が塞がらなかった。女だ！彼はそれほどまでに立派で恐ろしい鎧は見た事がなかった。町を通過して行った優れた商隊警備員—常に男だった—でさえそのような鎧は付けていなかった。 The woman coughed, and sand tumbled free from her armor. Had she been walking around in this sandstorm? Insanity. She turned her eyes toward Reiter and smiled. It was a gentle, kind expression. "Let me guess," she said. "You re the son of the innkeeper?" 女が咳払いすると、彼女の鎧から砂がこぼれ落ちた。彼女はこの砂嵐の中を歩いてきたのか？正気じゃない。彼女はその目をReiterへ向け微笑んだ。優しく親切な顔つきだった。「えぇと」彼女は言った。「君は宿屋の息子ね？」 Reiter swallowed and nodded. "Father?" he called, not looking away from her. Reiterはごくりとつばを飲み込み頷いた。「父さん！」彼女から目を離さずに大声で呼んだ。 A grunt echoed from the inn s second floor. "Ya, boy? Yeh done sweeping?" 宿屋の２階からぶつぶつ言う声が聞こえた。「どうした？掃除は終わったのか？」 "We have a guest." 「お客さんだよ」 "Not n this weather, we don t," he said, coming down the stairs. "What re you—oh." His gutter accent vanished in an instant, replaced with warm speech, the language he saved for guests. "My apologies, good sir—madam, I mean. I wasn t expecting any new arrivals. Not with this storm, anyway." His charming act was spoiled a bit by his nervous glances toward the woman s armor. "Welcome to the Oasis Inn. Are you two looking for a room?" 「こんな天気でか、そんなわけがあるか」彼は言い、階段を下りてきた。「お前は何を……おぉ」彼の卑しいなまりは消え、客に対する丁寧な言葉と喋り方に置き換わった。「失礼しました。旦那様、いえ奥様。この嵐の中訪れる人がいるとは予想していなかったのです。それは兎も角」瞬間、愛想の良いそぶりは鳴りを潜め、女の鎧を神経質そうに一瞥した。「オアシスの宿屋へようこそ。お二人とも部屋をお探しですか？」 Two? Reiter shifted his gaze. He hadn t even noticed the woman s companion, a girl wearing simple clothes. She was younger. About Reiter s age, in fact. The lack of armor seemed to have left her a touch windblasted, though. Specks of sand clung to her hair. Reiter decided he could overlook that. 二人？Reiterは視線を移した。彼は彼女の連れに気付いていなかった。シンプルな服を着た少女だった。彼女は若く、実際にはReiterと同じくらいの年だった。しかし、その軽装には砂嵐の影響が残されていた。砂の粒が彼女の髪にこびり付いていた。 The woman gently rested her shield on the floor. "I hear you have a fondness for books and that you lend them out to your patrons. Is that true?" 女は盾を丁寧に床に横たえた。「あなたが本の愛好者で、本を常連に貸し出していると聞きました。本当ですか？」 Books? These two had trudged through a sandstorm for books? 本だって？この二人は本のために苦労して砂嵐の中を歩いて来たと言うのか？ "You heard true, madam," his father said. "Some say my inn has the finest library in Kehjistan. Outside of Caldeum itself, of course." 「本当です、奥様」彼の父は言った。「幾人かは私の宿の書庫がKehjistanで一番立派だと言います。もちろんCaldeum以外でも」 She smiled. "In that case, we would like to board here," she said. "On one condition you don t need to call me madam. My name is Anajinn." 彼女は微笑んだ。「そう言う事なら、私たちはここに留まりたいです」彼女は言った。「一つだけ、私の事を奥様と呼ぶ必要はないわ。私の名前はAnajinnよ」 "Of course, ma—Anajinn! Plenty of room at the Oasis Inn today." Reiter s father spread his arms warmly. "Not too many people as brave as you two, to be traveling in this weather." 「もちろんです、奥さ—Anajinn！部屋は開いています」Reiterの父は歓迎に腕を広げた。「お二人のようにこの天気の中旅をしてくる勇気のある人はそういません」 The second new arrival laughed. "Brave. Sure. Getting caught in a sandstorm. I can already hear the poets rushing to compose sonnets of our courage." Reiter smiled at her. She met his gaze and, after a moment, gave him a polite smile back. 2番目の来訪者（連れの少女）は笑った。「勇気？そうね。砂嵐に捕まったとき、詩人が大急ぎで私たちの勇気を称える歌を作ったのを聞いたわ」Reiterは彼女に向かって微笑んだ。彼女は彼の視線を受け止め、数秒後、丁寧に微笑み返した。 The armored woman grinned. "Perhaps we were taken a bit by surprise. Perhaps we would have been here a few days earlier if a certain apprentice could keep up." 鎧の女はニヤリとした。「多分、私たちは少し不意打ちを喰らったのよ。自慢の弟子が頑張ってくれたらもう少し早くここに来れたはずだもの」 "Perhaps a certain apprentice wasn t the one who wanted to explore every cavern in the desert," the apprentice said. 「おそらく、自慢の弟子は砂漠にある全ての洞窟を探検したくはなかったんですよ」弟子（少女）は言った。 "Perhaps." Anajinn removed one of her gauntlets and upended it. A small waterfall of sand cascaded to the wooden floor. Reiter frowned. He was going to have to sweep that up. "We managed to be productive, in any case," Anajinn added in a wry tone. 「そうね」Anajinnは片方のガントレットを外しひっくり返した。小さな砂の滝が木の床に流れ落ちた。Reiterは嫌な顔をした。掃除をしなければいけなかった。「いずれにしても、何とか上手くいったわね」Anajinnは苦笑いで付け加えた。 The innkeeper cocked his head, but no further explanation was forthcoming. "Well, I m sure you two must be thirsty, and the Oasis Inn always has plenty of cool water stored," Reiter s father said. "Reiter? Can you bring two cups for our guests?" He paused, looking at the boy. "Reiter?" He snapped his fingers sharply. 宿屋の主人は首を傾げた。しかしそれ以上の説明はなかった。「えぇと、お二人とも喉が渇いているでしょう、ここオアシスの宿屋ではいつでも十分な水を貯えているんですよ」Reiterの父は言った。「Reiter、お客様に水を持ってきてくれ」彼は話を切って少年を見た。「Reiter？」彼は指を鋭くならした。 Reiter jolted upright, pulling his gaze away from the apprentice. "Water. Yes, Father." He grabbed two cups and opened the hinged door on the floor, lowering dippers into the water casks. Reiterはびっくりして体を起こし、視線を弟子から引きはがした。「水だね、わかったよ父さん」彼は2つのコップをつかむと蝶番で止められたドアを開き、水の樽に柄杓を降ろした。 He was glad to be hidden behind the counter for the moment. The armored woman s companion... Reiter struggled to keep a grin suppressed. The apprentice had lighter, almost blond hair, longer than her master s, and her eyes were radiant. The way her chin curved elegantly to her neck... She had even given him a smile. A cool smile, but a smile nonetheless. 彼はしばらくの間カウンターの後ろに隠れられる事に安堵した。鎧の女の連れ……Reiterは彼女の事を考えると頬が緩むのを我慢した。彼女は彼女の師匠よりも長い明るい茶色に近い髪を持っており、その瞳は輝いていた。顎から首にかけてのラインは優雅な曲線を描き……彼女は彼にさえも微笑みを向けた。冷たい微笑ではあるが紛れもなく微笑んだのだ。 She likes me, Reiter thought. 「彼女は僕に気があるに違いないぞ」Reiterは思った。 Reiter handed the two women their cups. They both downed their contents in single gulps. He watched the younger guest. She gave him a questioning glance. He looked away. Reiterは二人の女性にそれぞれ水の入ったカップを渡した。彼女達はそれを一息で飲み干した。彼は年若い客に目を向けた。彼女は訝しげな目線を彼に向けた。彼は目線をそらした。 "Follow me upstairs, and I ll show you to your room," Reiter s father said. 「2階へ付いてきてください、お部屋へ案内します」Reiterの父は言った。 "Actually, I d like to see the library now," Anajinn said. "Do you have any books discussing the city of Ureh?" 「実を言うと、書庫を先に見たいのだけれど」Anajinnは言った。「Urehの都市に関する本はある？」 In short order, the woman had shed her armor and followed Reiter s father to the library, while her apprentice stayed in the common room. "Can you spare a cloth and a small bowl of water? I might as well start cleaning," she said. 女は手早く鎧を脱ぐとReiterの父に付いて書庫へと向かった。一方、彼女の弟子は休憩室に残った。「余っている布と水桶を貰えるかしら？すぐにでも洗濯を始めたいの」彼女は言った。 "Sure," Reiter said. He collected the items from behind the bar. 「もちろん」Reiterは答え、カウンターの後ろから言われたものを取り出した。 The apprentice called out, "On second thought, don t mind the cloth. I ll use a bit of my shirt." 弟子は叫んだ。「やっぱり布はいいわ。自分のシャツを使うから」 "It s no problem. We have plenty." 「大丈夫だよ。沢山あるから」 "You won t get the cloth back. You won t want it back. I ll have to burn it when I m done," the apprentice said. 「布はあなたの手に戻らないわ。あなたも返して欲しいとは思わないはずよ。終わった後に燃やさなければいけないだろうから」弟子は言った。 "That s fine," Reiter said, returning with the bowl and the cloth. He gave her his most winning smile, the kind that made the daughter of the trade goods storekeeper down the road bat her eyelashes at him—Bea was her name. Reiter put the local girl out of his mind. "We have plenty." 「それでも良いよ」Reiterは桶と布を返しながら言った。彼は魅力的な微笑みを彼女に向けた。道の向こうの貿易店の娘（名前をBeaと言った）の目を釘付けにするような微笑みだった。Reiterは地元の少女(Bea)を心から追い出した。「沢山あるから」 "Thank you," the apprentice said. She had an odd cleaning technique. She dipped a couple fingers into the bowl and let only a few drops wet the fabric. She began scrubbing the chestplate, a thick slab of metal with intricate etchings and workings. 「ありがとう」弟子は言った。彼女は一風変わった洗濯方法を採っていた。彼女は2本の指を桶に浸けるとほんの2、3滴だけ布地を濡らすと、複雑な意匠を凝らした分厚い金属板のチェストプレートをゴシゴシと洗い始めた。 Reiter sat down next to her. "Need help?" Reiterは彼女の隣に座った。「手伝おうか？」 "No, thank you." 「いいえ、大丈夫よ」 The boy nodded and leaned over. "What do those symbols mean? They look like Zakarum markings." 少年は頷き、屈み込んだ。「この紋章は何を意味してるんだい？Zakarumの紋章のように見えるけど」 "They are." 「そうよ。Zakarumの紋章よ。」 Reiter was impressed. "Really? Your master is a paladin? I ve seen lots of paladins come through town before. She s a lot prettier than most paladins." And then, feeling that the time was right, he added, "So are you." Reiterは感動した。「本当？君の師匠はパラディンなの？僕は町を通過するパラディンを沢山見てきたけど、彼女が一番ステキだね」彼はチャンスとばかりに付け加えた。「君もね」 She gave him another cool smile. "Anajinn is not a paladin." 彼女はまた別の種類の冷たい微笑みを彼に向けた。「Anajinnはパラディンではないわ」 Reiter nodded again. He didn t really care. "Staying in town long?" he asked. Reiterは再び頷いた。彼は気にせず尋ねた「町には長くいるの？」 The apprentice kept the cloth moving in tight circles on the armor. "Probably not. Up to her. Maybe a few days, at most." She scowled at a stubborn stain and splashed more drops of water on the cloth. Gingerly, she pressed the damp rag against the armor. After a moment, she seemed satisfied and renewed her scrubbing. 弟子は布を鎧の上で小さな円を描くように動かし続けた。「いいえ、彼女次第だけど長くても数日ね」彼女は頑固な汚れを睨みつけ、さらに数滴の水を布に散らし、きわめて慎重に濡れたぼろ布を鎧に押し当てた。しばらくして、彼女は満足したように洗濯を再開した。 "I heard her say she s looking for Ureh. Is she a treasure hunter? We get all kinds of treasure hunters here," Reiter said. He carefully leaned back in his chair, slouching a bit, trying to appear relaxed and confident. 「Urehを探していると言っていたけど、彼女はトレジャーハンターなの？僕たちはどんなトレジャーハンターでもここに泊めるけど」Reiterは言った。彼は注意深く椅子にもたれ、少しだけ前屈みになり、くつろぎ自信があるように見せかけた。 She considered him. "Treasure hunter? I ve never thought of it that way before. The term almost fits." With one last look at Reiter—and his posture—she went back to work, shaking her head. 彼女は少し考え「トレジャーハンター？そんな風に考えた事はないわ。やってる事がそれに近いとしても」最後にReiterとその姿勢を一目見て、彼女は首を横に振り仕事に戻った。 "My name is Reiter. What s yours?" he asked. She smiled but said nothing. He waited. The silence lengthened. Fine. Her name wasn t really important anyway. "If she s not a paladin, what is she?" 「僕はReiter、君は？」彼は尋ねた。彼女は微笑んだが何も言わなかった。彼は待った。静寂が続いた。まぁいいか、彼女の名前はそれほど大事じゃない、それより「パラディンじゃないなら、彼女は何なの？」 "A crusader," she said. 「クルセーダーよ」彼女は言った。 "Oh, right. A crusader. I knew that," Reiter said. She gave him a sideways glance. Reiter s smile slipped. She seemed to know he was lying. 「あ、あぁ、クルセーダーね、知ってるよ」Reiterは言った。彼女は彼を横目で一瞥した。Reiterの笑顔は引きつっていて、彼女は彼が嘘をついていると思った。 Another period of quiet. Reiter fidgeted. 静寂が続いた。Reiterはモジモジしていた。 Still, she was talking to him. That was the first step, right? それでも、彼女は彼と話をしていた。それが始まりだったのだろうか。 A month ago, a group of guards had hired rooms in the inn and spent most of their time swilling the cheapest drinks they could find. Reiter had enjoyed their company. One of them, a swarthy, sweaty man with a stained tunic and patches of rosacea spattered amid his thinning hair, had taken it upon himself to teach Reiter "the ways of the world." Most of the conversation had focused on how to get "any little pretty"—his words—to agree to a night of companionship. ー1ヶ月前、警備兵のグループが宿屋に部屋を借り、彼らが見つけた安い酒をがぶ飲みして過ごしていた。Reiterは彼らとの交際を楽しんでいた。彼らの一人、浅黒く汗ばんだ男ー汚れた上着と薄くなった頭髪の中に斑になった酒さを飛び散らせたーがReiterに「世間について」を教えるために自ら買って出た。講義のほとんどは「如何にして可愛い子と仲良くなるか」だった。彼の言葉はこの夜の交遊を肯定するものだった。 Get a girl to talk with you, and she s interested. Get her to smile, and you re halfway there, the guard had told him in loud, drunken whispers. His cloying breath had seemed to take up residence in Reiter s nose. Make her think you have a lot in common, keep her smiling, and you win. If she stops smiling, change the subject. Compliment her. Reiter had been amazed it could be so easy. 「女の子と話をしろ。そして彼女は興味を持つ。彼女を微笑ませろ、ここまでで半分だ」警備兵は大きな、酔っぱらった囁きで言った。彼の酒臭い息はReiterの鼻の中に居座る事を決めたようだ。「彼女にお前との共通点が多いと思わせろ、彼女を微笑ませ続けろ、そしたらお前の勝ちだ。もし彼女が微笑むのを止めたら話題を変えろ。彼女を褒めろ」Reiterはそれがとても簡単そうである事に驚いた。（回想終わり） "What s your name?" Reiter asked the apprentice again. No response. "Do you do a lot of cleaning for your master? My father makes me clean all the time." Still no reply. Reiter continued. "My father always tells me that we need to have the cleanest inn in Caldeum s Rest." 「君の名前は？」Reiterはもう一度尋ねた。返事はなかった。「君は師匠のために沢山洗濯をしているよね？僕も父さんにいつも掃除をさせられてるよ」やはり返事はなかった。Reiterは続けた。「父さんはいつも僕に言うんだ。Caldeumで一番綺麗な宿屋でなければいけないって」 "Interesting," she said. She scraped at another troublesome stain with her fingernail, then jerked her hand away as though it had been burned, muttering to herself. She pushed down hard on that spot with a dry section of the cloth. 「面白いわね」彼女は言った。彼女は別の面倒な汚れを爪で削り落とした。そしてまるで洗濯物が燃えてしまったかのように手を引っ込め、独り言を呟いた。彼女は布の乾いた箇所をその汚れた部分を押し当てた。 Reiter watched her closely. She wasn t smiling anymore. He changed the subject. "If you ve been walking around for a while, you could probably use a hot bath. We have plenty of tubs in the back, and I can heat some water for you. If you d like." Reiterはじっと彼女を見た。彼女はこれ以上微笑まなかった。彼は話題を変えた。「しばらく散歩でもしてきたなら、温かいお風呂に入れるよ。奥にお風呂があるんだ。君が望むならお風呂を湧かしてあげるよ」 "Maybe later," she said. 「後でね」彼女は言った。 "It would be no trouble," he insisted, and then said, casually, "I wouldn t even mind joining you." 「お易い御用さ」彼は主張した。そして何気ない素振りで言った。「君と一緒に入れたらいいなぁ」 The apprentice set down the cloth and fixed Reiter with a glare. "Excuse me?" she said. 弟子は布を下に置き、Reiterをじっと睨みつけ言った。「あなた、何言ってるの？」 Reiter felt heat rush into his face. Desperately he racked his brain for an explanation. "Oh, I m so sorry! I forgot some people don t consider that modest. It s not unusual here in the desert. Helps to have someone else help clean the sand out of hard-to-reach places." It only made things worse. The silence, once again, stretched... Reiterは顔がカッと赤くなるのを感じた。彼は必死に知恵を絞って言い訳を考えた。「ご、ごめん！そんなつもりじゃなかったんだ。ここ砂漠ではおかしな事じゃないしね。砂を綺麗にするのを手伝おうと思ったんだ。」火に油を注いだだけだった。静寂が再び……続く。 "Here," he said, suddenly reaching for the cloth. "Let me help with that." He quickly dipped it into the water. His hand brushed her hair, and he felt a thrill run up his arm. Without hesitation, he placed the rag against the armor and began scrubbing. 「ほら」彼は突然布に手を伸ばしながら言った。「手伝うよ」素早く布を水に浸した。彼は手で彼女の髪にブラッシングした。腕がゾクゾクするのを感じた。彼はためらう事なくボロ布を鎧に添えるとゴシゴシと洗い始めた。 The apprentice gasped. "Wait—" 弟子ははっと息を飲んだ。「待って」 When Reiter touched the wet cloth to the stain, everything seemed to happen at once. The apprentice yelled. The bowl of water flipped. The table underneath the bowl flipped. Smoke, vile smoke, smelling of sulfur and festering blood, filled the air. Reiter screamed and tumbled out of his chair. The apprentice took the chestplate and flung it out the door in one smooth motion. It arced over the balcony, into the sandstorm. Reiterが湿らせた布を汚れに当てた時、それは突然起こった。弟子は叫んだ。水桶がひっくり返りテーブルの下に落ちた。酷く不快な煙が立ちこめ、硫黄と腐ったような血の匂いが空気に充満した。Reiterは悲鳴を上げ椅子から転げ落ちた。弟子はチェストプレートを取り上げ、流れるような動きでドアの向こうに放り投げた。放り投げられたチェストプレートは弧を描き、バルコニーを超え砂嵐の中に落ちた。 Just before Reiter landed on the floor, he saw a ball of green flame rapidly expanding over the chestplate, disappearing in a flash. Just after Reiter landed on the floor, the table fell on top of him, pinning him down, knocking the wind out of him. Reiterが床に落ちる直前、彼はチェストプレートが緑の光を溢れさせ閃光の中に消えたのを見た。床に落ちた直後、テーブルが降ってきて彼を床に押さえつけ、彼を打ちのめした。 Yelling, crying, Reiter struggled to push the table away. Strong arms pulled the weight off his chest. Anajinn, the crusader, stared down at him with concern. Reiterは泣き叫び、テーブルを退かそうと苦闘した。力強い腕がテーブルを彼の胸の上から退かした。Anajinn、クルセーダーは関心を持って彼を見つめた。 Reiter s father stumbled into the common room, wide eyed. "What happened?" Reiterの父はつまずきながら休憩室に入ってくるなり目を見開いた。「何が起こったんだ？」 "Excellent question," Anajinn said. The crusader turned her gaze from Reiter, to the chestplate lying outside in the sandstorm, to the apprentice. To the last, she gave a hard look. 「良い質問ね」Anajinnは言った。クルセーダーは視線をReiterから砂嵐の中のチェストプレートへ、そして弟子へと向け、最後に厳しい表情を浮かべた。 To everyone s shock, the apprentice began laughing. Sobs of pure mirth shook her body, and she had to sit down to keep from collapsing on the floor. Reiter s father looked outraged. "What in the name of Akarat happened to my son?" 驚くべき事に、弟子は笑い出した。可笑しさのあまり彼女の体は震えていた。彼女は床の崩壊を避けるように座っていた。Reiterの父は激怒していた。「Akaratの名の下に、俺の息子に何が起こったんだ？」 The apprentice wiped away tears and said exactly what Reiter hoped she wouldn t. "He offered to bathe with me. And then he tried to help clean the armor to apologize for it." More peals of laughter filled the common room. "I m sorry, Anajinn. I wasn t expecting him to put water onto dried demon s blood." 弟子は涙を拭い、Reiterが何をしようとしたか正直に言った。「彼は私に一緒にお風呂の入ろうと申し出た、そしてその償いに鎧の掃除を手伝おうとしたのよ」より一層の笑い声が休憩室に満ちた。「ごめんなさいAnajinn、彼が乾いた悪魔の血に水をつけるなんて思わなかったの」 "He did what?" Reiter s father s eyes darted between his son and Anajinn. Reiter shrank back. "Dried what?" 「何をしたって？」Reiterの父の目はReiterとAnajinnの間を行ったり来たりした。Reiterは怯んだ。「乾いた……なんだって？」 Anajinn was still looking at her apprentice. "Truly?" she asked. The apprentice stifled her laughter long enough to nod. "How much?" The apprentice made a gesture with her fingers the size of a large flea. "Good." Anajinn breathed a sigh of relief. "So no harm should have been done." Anajinnはまだ弟子を見ていた。「本当？」彼女は尋ねた。弟子は笑いを堪えて頷いた。「どれ位？」弟子は指で大きなノミ程度のサイズを示した。「それなら大丈夫」Anajinnは安堵のため息をついた。「それなら害はないでしょう」 Reiter s father seemed caught between concern, anger, and fear. "What harm? What did my son do?" Reiterの父からは心配と怒りと恐れが見て取れた。「害ってなんだ？俺の息子が何をしたって？」 "Nothing terrible, as it turns out," Anajinn said. "Do caravans heading to Caldeum sometimes disappear? Yes? I don t think they ll be having problems for at least a few years. Just before the sandstorm hit, we encountered a... nest. These creatures in particular don t enjoy the presence of water. For obvious reasons. The desert made for a happy home." Frowning, she picked up another piece of her armor, a leg guard, and examined it closely. "I had thought we cleaned off everything dangerous, but it s hard to be thorough when you re blinded by sand for three straight days." She bowed toward Reiter s father. "I humbly beg your forgiveness. Even if the danger was slight, the oversight was mine." 「結論から言えば、何も心配はないわ」Anajinnは言った。「Caldeumに向かったキャラバンが何度か消息を絶ったでしょう？あと数年は問題になるとは思わないけど。砂嵐に捕まる直前に、私たちは……巣に遭遇したわ。そこの特殊な生き物は水を嫌うわ。明確な理由でね。砂漠は彼らにとってさぞ良い家でしょうね」顔をしかめて彼女は鎧の他の部位を手に取った。具足だった。彼女はそれを綿密に調べた。「私たちは全ての危険を排除してきたつもりだったけど、あなたが3日間も砂に閉じ込められていると言う事は、そう考えるのは難しそうね」彼女はReiterの父に向かって頭を下げた。「どうかお許しください。危険が少なかったとは言え責任は私にあります」 Reiter saw his father s mouth moving soundlessly. Finally, he cleared his throat. "I... see. No harm done. I also apologize. For the behavior of my son," he said, glaring down at Reiter. Reiterは父の口が声もなく動いているのを見た。そして彼は咳払いした。「なるほど、害はないのですね。こちらこそ、うちの息子が失礼しました」彼はReiterを睨みつけ言った。 "Oh, no apologies are necessary," Anajinn said immediately. "If my apprentice is taking a shine toward your son, it s fine with me." 「あぁ、謝らないで」Anajinnは即座に言った。「私の弟子があなたの息子さんを気に入ったのなら、私も嬉しいわ」 The apprentice sighed. "That s not—" 弟子はため息まじりに言った「そんなことー」 "No need to explain," Anajinn interrupted her, grinning openly. "Young love. So beautiful. Flowers blooming in spring. Desert roses and such. You know, there s nothing in the crusaders oath that prevents you from—" 「言わなくても良いわ」Anajinnは彼女を遮った。あからさまにニヤリとした。「若い恋はとてもステキよ。花は春に咲くわ。砂漠のバラとかもね。知ってるでしょうけど、クルセーダーの誓いは何も妨げないわ」 "My oath? No," the apprentice grumbled. "My sense of good taste? Yes." 「誓い？違うわ」弟子は文句を言った。「私の勝手でしょ？」 The uproarious laughter of his father chased Reiter back into the inn s main storeroom. He made it his personal mission to avoid the two women for the rest of their stay, which lasted about a week. 騒がしい彼の父の笑い声が貯蔵庫の中のReiterを追いかけてきた。彼の個人的な使命は、1週間ほど続いた滞在中の彼女達を避ける事だった。 He was mostly successful. At one point, the apprentice sought him out and attempted to apologize for her last remark. 彼はその使命をほとんど成功していた。ある時、弟子は彼を探し以前の発言に付いて謝ろうとした。 "Anajinn s sense of humor is rubbing off on me. We can be... biting... toward each other from time to time, but that s no excuse. I m sorry for what I said." 「Anajinnのおかしな性格には嫌になるわ。私たちは……時々お互い食い違うの。でもそれは言い訳にならないわね。あんな事を言ってごめんなさい」 Reiter mumbled and waved her off. She and her master seemed crazy anyway. Demon s blood. He shook his head. That must have been a lie. Unreasonable to think otherwise. Reiterはモゴモゴ呟き、彼女を追い払った。彼女と彼女の師匠はとにかくクレイジーだと思った。悪魔の血？彼は頭を振った。あれは嘘だったに違いない。そう思わずにはいられなかった。 "Strange woman," Reiter s father remarked after they left. "Bett n she has salt, though. Called herself a crusader. Interesting story. She s from the swamplands. Came ovah to the desert to search for some religious thing, I guess. Yeh should ve asked her about it. Fast-natin stuff." 「奇妙な女だった」Reiterの父は彼女達が宿から去った後で述べた。「彼女は自らクルセーダーを名乗っていながら塩を持っていた。おかしな話だ。沼地から砂漠を超えて何か宗教的なものを調べに来たようだな。お前は彼女にその事を尋ねるべきだったな。■■■■■■■■■」 "I suppose so," Reiter said. 「僕もそう思うよ」Reiterは言った。 【コメント注意事項】 ・既存の翻訳文章への指摘は、可能なら代替案（翻訳）を考えて当該の翻訳文章に並べて直接ページの編集をお願いいたします。 （既存の翻訳を削除せず、ご自分の翻訳を２行目に追加してください。管理人が後に良いと判断した翻訳のみ表示するように変更します） ・代替案が思い浮かばない場合は、翻訳者に失礼のならないよう、優しい文章で指摘してください。 ・ご指摘の際は、対象の箇所が特定できる原文の一部を記載下さい。 ・このコメント内で議論をしないで下さい。ご指摘、ご意見のみご報告下さい。 ・良識が欠けていたり、意義の無いコメントは削除させていただきます。 冒険者名 コメント すべてのコメントを見る 今作のローディング画面でのヒントに「The Cow level is a Lie」というものがある 元ネタはPortalの「the cake is a lie」 -- (サムライウィッチドクター) 2016-04-13 19 15 46 カウレベル(Cow Level)とは、Diablo1のときにユーザーの間で『どうやら秘密のCow Levelというのが存在するらしい』というデマが流れたのが起源。 Diablo2では実際にジョークネタでCowLevelが実装された。（恐ろしい量の牛がハルバードのような武器を持って襲ってくるｗ） 余談だが『There is no cow level』という文言はStarCraft1の公式チートコードの１つである。 -- (管理人) 2013-01-04 23 29 35

dlga_start quigfen_intro|Hail and well met M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. To what do I owe your interest? dlga_start quest_offered|You seem to wish to befriend the Noldor. However, you must prove your good intentions in order to gain their trust. There is a marauding Jatu army roaming the Laria woods, attacking Noldor patrols, searching for their hidden castle. If you can defeat it, the Noldor will be very grateful for your help. What do you say? dlga_start response_success|My friends in the woods tell me you have destroyed the marauding Jatu! In addition to 3000 denars, you are now granted access to Elacrai, the hidden Noldor castle on the north shore of the lake in the woods of Laria. dlga_response_success quigfen_process_1|I'm glad to have been of assistance and will surely look for the castle. dlga_quest_offered quest_taken|Very well. I will destroy the Jatu army. dlga_quest_taken close_window|Very good. Remember that the Noldor have unique ways of expressing gratitude. dlga_quest_offered quigfen_process_1|Sorry. I don't have time for this right now. dlga_start quigfen_response_1|Hail and well met M'{reg63?Lord Lady}.

I am here to discuss business. dlga_quigfen_intro_2 quigfen_intro_3_talk|To the point, I like that. I am called Quigfen, an odd name to your ears, of that there is no doubt, eh? As to who I am? Well, I am... a merchant of sorts. Perhaps in your language a Broker would be close to the truth of the matter. I stay here in Laria and sell Noldor goods to those who... how do we put this delicately? To those who are friendly to the Noldor and their plight. I sell arms, armor, and a variety of trinkets. I also at times broker the service of Noldor Rangers into the service of very select companies. I see that I have your interest. dlga_quigfen_intro_3_talk quigfen_process_1|Hmm... yes, I am interested. Tell me more. dlga_quigfen_process_1 quigfen_process_2|Remember, you must be on good terms with the Noldor to engage me in business. I offer you two choices. The first is to purchase from me Noldor armor and weapons. The second is to retain Noldor adventurers to fight by your side in your quest to unite this land and push back the followers of the Dark Goddess. dlga_quigfen_process_2 start|Tell me about the quest again. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_arms|I am interested in Noldor Arms and Armor. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_warrior|I am interested in hiring Noldor Adventurers. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_intro_2|What do you do again? dlga_quigfen_process_2 close_window|Neither, I must be going, perhaps later. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_process_2|It seems that the Noldor do not yet trust you enough to allow me to sell items to you.

Go and improve your relationship with them and then return. Perhaps then some of the Elven Warriors will join you. dlga_quigfen_warrior quigfen_warrior_gem|Very well M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. Do you have a Dragon Tear to sway the hearts of the elves to join you? Or maybe some of their rare pottery? dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem quigfen_warrior_choose|Yes, I have Qualis Gem (and space for {reg24} units). dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem quigfen_warrior_choose.1|Yes, I have Qualis Gem and this beautiful vase (and space for {reg24} units). dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window|Yes, but I don't want to trade it for now. dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window.1|Yes, but I don't want to trade them for now. dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window.2|No, not with me. dlga_quigfen_warrior_choose quigfen_warrior_select|Excellent.

Will there be anything else M'{reg63?Lord Lady}? dlga_start ransom_broker_intro|Greetings to you, {reg63?sir madam}. You look like someone who should get to know me. dlga_ransom_broker_intro ransom_broker_intro_2|Why is that? dlga_ransom_broker_intro ransom_broker_pretalk|Ah, I know of your sort already. No need to tell me who you are. dlga_ransom_broker_intro_2 ransom_broker_info_talk|I am with the local Red Brotherhood and I broker ransoms for the poor wretches who are captured in these endless wars. Normally I travel between the interior towns and the slave markets on the coast, on commission from those whose relatives have gone missing. But if I'm out on my errands of mercy, and I come across a fellow dragging around a captive or two, well, there's no harm in a little speculative investment, is there? And you look like the type who might have a prisoner to sell. ^^Additionally, I can let you hire some of the mercenaries we employ. In which some are veterans as well. For a lovely donation of course. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_families|What if their families can't pay? dlga_ransom_broker_families ransom_broker_info_talk|Oh, then I spin them a few heartwarming tales of life on the galleys. You'd be surprised what sorts of treasures a peasant can dig out of his cowshed or wheedle out of his cousins, assuming he's got the proper motivation! And if in the end they cannot come up with the silver, then there are always slave merchants who are looking for galley slaves. One cannot do Heaven's work with an empty purse, you see. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_prices|What can I get for a prisoner? dlga_ransom_broker_prices ransom_broker_info_talk|It varies. I fancy that I have a fine eye for assessing a ransom. There are a dozen little things about a man that will tell you whether he goes to bed hungry, or dines each night on soft dumplings and goose. The real money of course is in the gentry, and if you ever want to do my job you'll want to learn about every landowning family in Pendor, their estates, their heraldry, their offspring both lawful and bastard, and, of course, their credit with the merchants. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_ransom_me|Would you be able to ransom me if I were taken? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_me ransom_broker_info_talk|Of course. I'm welcome in every court in Pendor. There's not many who can say that! So always be sure to keep a pot of denars buried somewhere, and a loyal servant who can find it in a hurry. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_start ransom_broker_talk|Greetings. If you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you. Or I could organize some mercenaries, if needed. dlga_ransom_broker_pretalk ransom_broker_talk|Very well, if you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you.

As a result, there's seldom a break to the bitter wars which plague this land and drain its life blood. Well, at least this must be a good place to be for an adventurer such as yourself. With some luck and skill, you can make a name for yourself here, amass a fortune perhaps, or gain great power. Opportunities are endless and so are the rewards, if you are willing to risk your life for them. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3|Tell me more about these opportunities. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2 close_window|Thank you. That was all I needed to know dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|Well, you probably know everything I could tell you already. You seem to be doing pretty well. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a|The kingdoms will pay good money for mercenaries if they are engaged in a war. If you have done a bit of fighting, speaking with one of their lords will probably result in being offered a mercenary contract. However the real rewards come if you can manage to become a vassal to a king. A vassal can own villages, castles and towns and get rich with the taxes and revenues of these estates. Normally, only nobles of the realm own land in this way, but in time of war, a king will not hesitate to accept someone who distinguishes {reg63?himself herself} on the battlefield as a vassal, and grant {reg63?him her} the right to own land. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|It is not unheard-of for adventurers to renounce allegiance to a Pendorian king altogether, declare themselves kings, and claim land in their own name. This is a difficult path, however, as the great nobles of the land, with their long ancestries, are not likely to accept such upstarts as their monarch. Such rulers would need to be very careful in establishing their right to rule, or they would be set upon from all sides. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5|It might be easier for an adventurer like yourself to pledge support to an existing king's rival. There are many such pretenders in Pendor -- those who are born to the right family, who go around and stir up trouble saying they have a better claim to the throne than the current king.

I was traveling to Sarleon. On my way there I arrived to the village of {s54}, beautiful lands there. During the evening at the local tavern, just as the light faded, the farmers and locals began trickling in for spirits and food. Many resided in the center as I tuckered in at the corner. Unwanted attention has its flaws you know. A few elderly stock joined nearby, already very drunk. They began talking about a castle or ruins, rather. Distorted by the noise I also heard things like 'betrayal', 'massacre', 'fortress' ... dlga_bookseller_3_quest_1 bookseller_3_quest_2|'Fortress' you said? dlga_bookseller_3_quest_2 bookseller_3_quest_3|... Hmm, yes. I was so intrigued by their discussion that once I got to Sarleon I immediately went to the Great Library and tried to find more information. I found nothing. Nothing in their history books and no maps show any castles near {s54}. I have even asked a nearby Lions chronicler only to be told that what I heard was drunken nonsense and, furthermore, that I shouldn't waste my time on it.^^But what those men described was so convincing, it seems like a missed opportunity to not investigate further.^^Would you be interested in a good old archaeological hunt? dlga_bookseller_3_quest_3 book_trade_completed|I got some time on my hands, I'd be glad to discover these so called ruins, if they exist! dlga_bookseller_3_quest_3 special_fail|No, I am not interested in this right now. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_1 bookseller_3_quest_end_2|Great news! Tell me what have you found. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_2 bookseller_3_quest_end_3|At the beginning I visited {s54} and spoken with the elder. The elder was forward in noting that there were no other castles in the area, but only ruins.

Finding it wasn't easy, but as I got closer the mountain a path began appearing, a very old and worn path; still covered by forest and dense brush. Not much left by now. There are what I assume was once a castle which included remains of a gatehouse, foundations of few bigger houses and towers. It seems that some time ago a battle took place there. After further examination I have found old weapons and various rusty armor pieces, some with still a visible griffon heraldry. Upon further searching, I found a chest. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_5 bookseller_3_quest_end_6|A chest? What was inside?! dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_6 bookseller_3_quest_end_7|Under a pile of rubble I discovered slightly damp oak chest.

Interesting ... dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_8 bookseller_3_quest_end_9|It seems that those ruins were once a castle, which 60 Griffon Knights called 'home'.^^The last few pages described preparations to a feast organized by the commander, who was to host for the Lion's grandmaster. A 300 or so strong delegation was expected.^^Based on what I have seen on site and knowing some history of both orders, it is not hard to imagine what had unfolded there. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_9 bookseller_3_quest_end_10|I am familiar with this story, the Gairbolt Massacre. In summary, it explains of the vanquishing of the royal Griffon Knights, still loyal to the non-existent Pendorian Monarchy. It was known that the Griffons had rough relations with the Lions. Furthermore, Lions have recorded that they indeed did wipe the remaining Order. No one knows when or where exactly, those details were expunged from records ... ^^So where is the book? I'd like to inspect it's contents for authenticity and archival reasons of course! dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_10 bookseller_3_quest_end_11|Erm ... As I said it was an old book and was very fragile.

It is short enough to be easily learned. It is an allegoric poem, replete with symbols and metaphor. It describes how a brave but rough warrior wins the heart of his lady by learning the virtues of chivalry, becoming a true and noble knight. Its theme -- that the role of a woman is to inspire but also civilize a man -- is appreciated by some noble ladies, but not all. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.1|I can teach you the poem, 'The Heart's Desire.' It is a lyrical poem, which can be interpreted either erotically or spiritually. The lover realizes the majesty of the divine by gazing upon the body of his beloved. I believe that it appeals to women of a certain romantic temperament, but you risk scandalizing or boring others. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.2|I can teach you the tale of Kais and Layala. It is a sad and simple story -- the shepherd boy Kais and the nobleman's daughter Layala love each other, but they can never marry. The poem is Kais' lament as he wanders alone, unwilling to forget his true love, driving himself mad with longing. Some ladies melt at the sweetness of his sorrows; others glaze over at his self-pity. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.3|I can teach you part of the saga of Helgerad and Kara. It is a heroic tale, full of blood and battle. The shieldmaiden Kara chooses the warrior Helgered as her lover, as he is the only man who can defeat her in combat. Her father, who pledged her to another, comes with his sons and his huscarls to kill Helgered. They fight, and Helgered and Kara slaughter the entire host except for Kara's beloved younger brother -- who, alas, grows up to avenge his father by slaying Helgered. The depiction of warrior and shieldmaiden as equals will appeal to some women, but a mail-wearing, blood-spattered heroine will shock and repulse others. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.4|I can teach you the poem, 'An Argument in the Garden' It is a comic poem, which satirizes the conventions of courtly love. A lover steals into a garden in Ethos, and plies his lover with lots of witty lines to persuade her to submit to his embraces. She shoots down all of his advances one by one, then when he is downcast, she takes him in her arms and tells him that she wanted him all along, except on her terms, not his. A lady with a sense of humor may find it amusing, but others might feel that they are the ones being mocked. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_2|To teach it to you, I will need some hours of your time -- and, of course, a small fee for my services.

In Pendor, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Of course, this does not apply for their sons. The sons are lords and commanders who will be seeking suitable wives. A lady such as yourself will find it hard to marry a suitable husband, but if you persevere and are lucky you will find a good husband among the nobility. dlga_minstrel_nobles minstrel_nobles_2|Nobles are an odd lot. In Pendor, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Yet the great families of this land idealize pure love between man and woman, and I have seen many a hardened warrior weep copious tears at the doomed ardour of Sahira and Janun in the songs -- even as he made plans to break his own daughter's heart. dlga_minstrel_nobles_2 minstrel_nobles_3|Fathers differ, of course. Some Pendorian nobles will let their daughters choose a husband who pleases them. Others, however, feel that to allow their daughters any choice at all would be to diminish their own authority, and insist on imposing a groom whether she likes it or not. dlga_minstrel_nobles_3 minstrel_prequestions|But the majority will steer a middle course -- they will want to make the final decision about a groom, but will weigh their daughter's preferences heavily. Among other factors, a happy marriage is more likely to produce heirs. So, there is a place for courtship, and for the use of skill and passion to win a lady's heart. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_daughter_father|What if a lady and her father disagree about a suitor? dlga_minstrel_daughter_father minstrel_daughter_father_2|It happens sometimes that a lord's daughter elopes. This is a major blow to the father's prestige, leading to lasting enmities. Indeed, it is possible that a war may be fought over a forbidden marriage. Now, that is a fine topic for a song. dlga_minstrel_daughter_father_2 minstrel_prequestions|In the end, however, most daughters will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her, and few are brave enough to risk disapproval for the sake of an unknown suitor. One may pine for a lover, but yet obey parental orders -- and without tragic love, what would we have to sing about? dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_player_role_2|Of course! Pendorian lords make a great deal of lineage, but in the end, lands and money speak louder than one's ancestors. Even though you are a foreigner, if you are coming up in the world, then many parents will consider you a fine catch. dlga_minstrel_player_role_2 minstrel_player_role_3|You will have to compete with many others of the realm, however, who will have an advantage -- they have known these {reg63?ladies lords} from childhood, and will have been sized up as {reg63?grooms brides} by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some {reg63?ladies lords} may be fascinated by the strange, yet opt for the familiar. dlga_minstrel_player_role_3 minstrel_prequestions|Keep this in mind -- you may well break your heart in pursuit of love. However, refusing to love for fear of heartbreak is like refusing to lead your men into battle from fear of the enemy's arrows. Be brave, and shrug off ignorant lords' snotty little comments, and victory shall surely be yours. dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_female_player_3|Milady, I must speak candidly. Many of the lords of this land are traditionalists, not to say chauvenists, ha ha. They look only for a pretty little twit with demure manners and skin as fair as snow. They would feel threatened by a warrior maid who looks them in the eye as an equal; one who may well be smarter and more skilled at combat than they are. They want a maiden whose voice is soft as bells, not a woman who can fight bravely beside them, with a voice hoarse from commanding men successfully in battle. Most lords seeking to marry will want heirs, and a warrior woman such as yourself may not wish to give up conquest to furnish her lord an heir. dlga_minstrel_female_player_3 minstrel_prequestions|However, not all lords will prove so foolishly blind to the advantages of marriage to a warrior lady with battle renown. We poets sing of shield maidens and of huntresses, of women who forged their own path without having sacrificed a chance for love. You must work to find a devoted husband who can accept your ways, but that is by no means impossible here in Pendor, as it assuredly would be in a more backward land. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_spouse_benefits|What advantage is there in seeking a {reg63?wife husband}? dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may forge a strong alliance with the bride's family, and a wife may also assist you in manipulating the politics of the realm to your advantage. dlga_minstrel_wife_benefits_2 minstrel_prequestions|What's more, most of the great families of Pendor have at some point intermarried with royalty, which would boost your own claim to rule -- should you ever choose to assert it... dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2.1|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may have access to the groom's castles and properties, and be able to work with him to advance both of your standings in the realm. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet minstrel_player_advice_meet_2|Every so often, a king or great lord of Pendor will hold a feast. In towns they will often be accompanied by tournaments, and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. These feasts provide a chance for the lords to repair some of the rivalries that may undermine the strength of the realm. They also provide an opportunity for families to show off their eligible daughters, and ladies will often be allowed to mingle unsupervised with the guests. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet_2 minstrel_prequestions|If you have the opportunity, you may attempt to pay the lady a compliment. This indicates to her that you are a potential suitor, and she will usually know if she wishes you to continue your suit. Incidentally, if you come to her fresh from having distinguished yourself in the tournament or in the hunt, then you may make a stronger first impression than otherwise. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo minstrel_player_advice_woo_2|To woo a lady takes a certain amount of time and patience, and several meetings spaced over a period of months. A lady who is interested in you will often find ways of letting you know if she wishes you to come visit her. Alternately, you may simply go and ask her father or brother for permission. If you do not have permission from her guardian, it may be possible to arrange an assignation through other means. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_2 minstrel_player_advice_woo_3|Having arranged an assignment, you may then attempt to charm her and win her favor. Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of this is finding a topic of conversation. Most Pendorian noblewomen lead a cloistered life, at least until they are married, and thus will have little to say that will interest you. On other hand, she will soon tire of hearing of your own deeds in the outside world. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_3 minstrel_player_advice_woo_4|One time-tested mode of courtship is simply to recite a popular poem, and discuss it. This way, you are both on an equal footing, and neither will have an advantage in knowledge or experience. Of course, different ladies will have different tastes in poetry. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_4 minstrel_player_advice_woo_5|At some point, you will be able to discuss directly the issue of marriage. She will then let you know if you measure up to what she wants in a husband. Some ladies will coolly assess who is the most prestigious of her suitors, others will be guided by their passions. Some will look to your companions, to see whether you are the kind of husband who will treat her as an equal, while others will follow the lead of their fathers. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_5 minstrel_prequestions|At any rate, it is a challenging business -- and do not forget, you may find that your suit prospers with a lady, only to have it falter on a father's political ambitions. So you must ask yourself are you willing to risk disappointment and heartbreak? Alternately, are you willing to throw away your standing in society, to make enemies of allies, in pursuit of a forbidden love? Because if you are, then perhaps some day we will write poems about you. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_job_description|What is it that you poets and musicians do, again? dlga_minstrel_job_description minstrel_courtship_prequestions|I compose and write songs for the lords of the land, and their ladies. Sometimes I sing about war, sometimes about the virtues of kings, and sometimes, for the more sophisticated audiences, about the virtues of wine. For most audiences, however, I sing of love. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_pretalk|No, that is all. dlga_minstrel_prequestions minstrel_courtship_questions_2|Do you have any other questions? dlga_minstrel_pretalk minstrel_1|Is there anything else? dlga_start farmer_from_bandit_village_1|{reg63?My lord Madam}, you look like a {reg63?man lady} of the sword and someone who could help us.

This place looks like a training field. Maybe I can learn about fighting here? dlga_trainer_intro_2 trainer_intro_3|Indeed you can. I am a veteran soldier... fought a good deal in the wars in my time. But these days, I train young novices in this area. I can find you some opponents to practice with if you like. Or if you have any questions about the theory of combat, feel free to ask. dlga_trainer_intro_3 trainer_intro_4a|Yes, I do have a few questions. dlga_trainer_intro_3 trainer_intro_4b|Actually, I can move on to practice. dlga_trainer_intro_4a trainer_talk_combat|Well, ask anything you like. dlga_trainer_intro_4b trainer_practice_1|Good. It's good to find someone eager for practice. Let's see what you will do. dlga_start trainer_practice_1|That was a good fight. dlga_start trainer_practice_1.1|Ha! Looks like you've developed a bit of a limp there. Don't worry, even losses have their value, provided you learn from them. Shake the stars out of your eyes and get back in there. There's no other way to win. dlga_start trainer_talk|Good day. Ready for some training today? dlga_trainer_pretalk trainer_talk|Ah, are you ready for some training? dlga_trainer_talk trainer_practice_1|I am ready for some practice. dlga_trainer_talk trainer_combat_begin|First, tell me something about combat... dlga_trainer_talk close_window|I need to leave now. Farewell. dlga_trainer_combat_begin trainer_talk_combat|What do you want to know? dlga_trainer_combat_pretalk trainer_talk_combat|What else do you want to know? dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_defense|Tell me about defending myself. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_attack|Tell me about attacking with weapons. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_horseback|Tell me about fighting on horseback. dlga_trainer_talk_combat close_window|Tell me about Pendor. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_pretalk|I guess I know all the theory I need. Let's talk about something else. dlga_trainer_explain_defense trainer_explain_defense_2|Good question. The first thing you should know as a fighter is how to defend yourself. Keeping yourself out of harm's way is the first rule of combat, and it is much more important than giving harm to others. Everybody can swing a sword around and hope to cut some flesh, but only those fighters that are experts at defense live to tell of it. dlga_trainer_explain_defense_2 trainer_explain_defense_3|Now. Defending yourself is easiest if you are equipped with a shield. Just block with your shield. [Hold down the right mouse button to defend yourself with the shield.] In this state, you will be able to deflect all attacks that come from your front. However, you will still be open to strikes from your sides or your back. dlga_trainer_explain_defense_3 trainer_explain_defense_4|What if I don't have a shield? dlga_trainer_explain_defense_4 trainer_combat_pretalk|Then you will have to use your weapon to block your opponent. This is a bit more difficult than defending with a shield. Defending with a weapon, you can block against only ONE attack direction. That is, you block against either overhead swings, side swings or thrusts. Therefore you must watch your opponent carefully and start to block AFTER he starts his attack. In this way you will be able to block against the direction of his current attack. If you start to block BEFORE he makes his move, he may just attack in another direction than the one you are blocking against and score a hit. dlga_trainer_explain_attack trainer_explain_attack_2|Good question. Attacking is the best defence, they say. A tactic fighters find useful is taking an offensive stance and readying your weapon for attack, waiting for the right moment for swinging it. [You can ready your weapon for attack by pressing and holding down the left mouse button.] dlga_trainer_explain_attack_2 trainer_explain_attack_3|That sounds useful. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_3 trainer_explain_attack_4|It is a good tactic, but remember that, your opponent may see that and take a defensive stance against the direction you are swinging your weapon. If that happens, you must break your attack and quickly attack from another direction [You may cancel your current attack by quickly tapping the right mouse button]. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_4 trainer_explain_attack_5|If my opponent is defending against the direction I am attacking from, I will break and use another direction. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_5 trainer_combat_pretalk|Yes, selecting the direction you swing your weapon is a crucial skill. There are four main directions you may use right swing, left swing, overhead swing and thrust. You must use each one wisely. [to control your swing direction with default controls, move your mouse in the direction you want to swing from as you press the left mouse button]. dlga_trainer_explain_horseback trainer_combat_pretalk|Very good question. A horse may be a warrior's most powerful weapon in combat. It gives you speed, height, power and initiative. A lot of deadly weapons will become even deadlier on horseback. However you must pay particular attention to horse-mounted enemies couching their lances, as they may take down any opponent in one hit. [To use the couched lance yourself, wield a lance or similar weapon, and speed up your horse without pressing attack or defense buttons. after you reach a speed, you'll lower your lance. Then try to target your enemies by maneuvering your horse.] dlga_trainer_practice_1 trainer_practice_1|I train novices in four stages, each tougher than the one before. To finish a stage and advance to the next one, you have to win three fights in a row. dlga_trainer_practice_1 novicemaster_are_you_ready|You have passed all stages of training - though, if you want, you can still practice.

Most of the time, the most profitable thing for you to do would be to let us buy raw materials and sell the finished goods directly to the market. Because of our longstanding relations with the local merchants, we can usually get a very good price. dlga_master_craftsman_production_options_2 master_craftsman_pretalk|However, if you find that you can acquire raw materials cheaper outside {s5}, you may place them in the inventories, and we will use them instead of buying from the market. Likewise, if you feel that you can get a better price for the finished goods elsewhere, then you may ask us to deposit what we produce in our warehouses for you to take. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_auction_price|It will no longer be possible for me to continue operating this enterprise. dlga_master_craftsman_auction_price master_craftsman_auction_decide|A pity, my {reg63?lord lady}.

He owns the castle and sometimes resides there, and collects taxes from the town. However we regulate ourselves in most of the matters that concern ourselves. As the town's guildmaster I have the authority to decide those things. dlga_mayor_info_lord mayor_info_talk.1|Ahh... {reg63?M'Lord M'Lady}? Unless something happened of which I am completely unaware, which I assure you is most certainly not the case, you are the beloved and belelovent liege of this town. Your word is law and your arm protects us. dlga_mayor_info_talk mayor_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_mayor_political_talk mayor_political_questions|Politics? Good heavens, the guild has nothing to do with politics. We are loyal servants of {s10}. We merely govern our own affairs, and pass on the townspeople's concerns to our lords and masters, and maybe warn them from time to time against evil advice. Anyway, what did you wish to ask? dlga_mayor_prepolitics mayor_political_questions|Did I mention that we here are all {s9}? Because I can't stress that enough... Anyway... Is there anything else? dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_war_description_1|What is the cause of all these wars in Pendor? dlga_mayor_war_description_1 mayor_war_description_2|Well, to answer your question generally, each monarch claims to be the rightful heir to the old Pendorian emperors. Some of these claims are based on forgotten dynastic marriages and others are based on obscure promises, while {s22} invoke the empire's unwritten constitution. So in theory, any one realm has the right to declare war on any other realm at any time. dlga_mayor_war_description_2 mayor_war_description_3|In practice, to make war is exhausting work. It is easy enough to lay waste to the enemy's farmland, but crops will grow back, and it is a far different matter to capture an enemy stronghold and to hold it. So the monarchs of Pendor will fight a little, sign a truce, fight a little more, and so on and so forth. Often, a monarch will go to war when another realm provokes them. At such times, some bad influences who look to enrich themselves with ransoms and pillage will clamor for retribution, and thus the damage caused by war to a monarch's treasury is less than the damage caused by doing nothing would be to his authority... I'm of course not talking about {s10}, as no one would ever question {reg4?her his} authority dlga_mayor_war_description_3 mayor_war_description_4|I would stress again that we in the guild have nothing to do with politics. But if {s10} were to ask for my advice on these matters, as a loyal subject, I would tell {reg4?her him} that while {reg4?her his} claim to all of Pendor is truly just, even the most legitimate claim must be backed by armed men, and armed men want money, and money comes from trade, and war ruins trade, so sometimes the best way to push a claim is to not push it, if you know what I mean... dlga_mayor_war_description_4 mayor_prepolitics|You may tell {s10} this if you see {reg4?her him}. Don't mention my name specifically -- just say 'the people of {s4}' told you this. Our personal opinion, of course, as to what would be in {s10}'s best interests. None of us would ever dream of questioning a monarch's sovereign right to push {reg4?her his} legitimate claims. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_politics_assess|What is {s10}'s policy in regards to the other realms of Pendor? dlga_mayor_politics_assess mayor_politics_assess_realm|Which realm did you have in mind? dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment|{s11} dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm mayor_pretalk|That is all. Thank you. dlga_mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment mayor_prepolitics|{s14} dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_internal_politics|What can you say about the internal politics of the realms? dlga_mayor_internal_politics mayor_internal_politics_2|Well, here in the {s4} we are all united by our love for {s5} and support for {reg4?her his} legitimate claim to the rulership of all Pendor. But I have heard some talk of internal bickering in other realms... dlga_mayor_internal_politics_2 mayor_internal_politics_3|The lords of a realm often have very different ideas about honor, strategy, and the way a nobleman should behave. In addition, they compete with each other for the ruler's favor, and are constantly weighing up their position -- how they stand, how their friends and family stand, and how their enemies stand. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_3 mayor_internal_politics_4|Underlying all the tensions is the possibility that a lord may abandon his liege, and pledge vassalhood to another. In theory, each lord has sworn an oath of vassalage, but in practice, a vassal can always find an excuse to absolve himself. The vassal may claim that the liege has failed to hold up his end of the bargain, to protect the vassal and treat him justly. Or, the vassal may claim that his liege is in fact a usurper, and another has a better claim to the kingship. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_4 mayor_internal_politics_5|Lieges and vassals still watch each other carefully. If a king believes that his vassal is going to change sides or rebel, he may indict the vassal for treason and seize his properties. Likewise, if a vassal fears that he will be indicted, he may rebel. Usually, whoever makes the first move will be able to control the vassal's fortresses. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_5 mayor_prepolitics|Now, men do not trust a vassal who turns coat easily, nor do they trust a king who lightly throws around charges of treason. Those two factors can keep a realm together. But if relations between a vassal and a liege deteriorate far enough, things can become very tense indeed... In other lands, of course. These things could never happen here in the {s4}. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_pretalk|That is all. Thank you. dlga_merchant_quest_about_job merchant_quest_about_job_2|What about it? dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2 merchant_quest_what_if_fail|What if I can't finish it? dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2 merchant_quest_about_job_working|Well, I'm still working on it. dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_working mayor_pretalk|Good.

I think I might have something you could do. dlga_merchant_quest_brief merchant_quest_looters_choice|We've had some fighting near the {s5} lately, with all the chaos that comes with it, and that's led some of our less upstanding locals to try and make their fortune out of looting the shops and farms during the confusion. A lot of valuable goods were taken. I need somebody to teach those bastards a lesson. Sound like your kind of work? dlga_merchant_quest_looters_choice merchant_quest_looters_brief|Aye, I'll do it. dlga_merchant_quest_looters_choice merchant_quest_stall|I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment. dlga_merchant_quest_looters_brief close_window|Excellent! You'll find the looters roaming around the countryside, probably trying to rob more good people. Kill or capture the bastards, I don't care what you do with them. I'll pay you a bounty of 200 denars on every band of looters you destroy, until all the looters are dealt with. dlga_merchant_quest_requested merchant_quest_explain_2|Well, there is a very great favor which you could do us ... As you may have heard, some {s10}s have come across the border to attack our people. {s5} is under great pressure from some of the more bellicose of his vassals to respond with a declaration of war. Unfortunately, while the great lords of this land grow rich from bloodshed, we of the commons will be caught in the middle, and will suffer. dlga_merchant_quest_explain_2 merchant_quest_brief|We are not saying that {s5} should overlook this aggression - far from it! But if he charges one of his own lords to respond, then the cycle of provocation will necessarily lead to a full-fledged confrontation. Now, if an outsider were to step in and defeat a {s10} lord in battle, then honor would be done, and it would defuse the clamor for war. If the defeated lord were a known troublemaker - {s7} - then the {s10}s might be able to overlook it. dlga_merchant_quest_brief merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm|We need such an outsider to attack and defeat {s7}. This will not be an easy task, and that outsider would damage {reg63?his her} relationship with the {s10}s, but we would be very grateful. We could not acknowledge a connection with that outsider, but we could be sure that {reg63?he she} would be handsomely rewarded ... Could you think of someone that would do this? dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm merchant_quest_track_bandits_brief|Aye, I am sure I can think of someone. dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm merchant_pretalk|I would prefer not to get mixed up in such things dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice|The raiders are likely to have laid up their ships in a well-concealed cove, somewhere along the coastline, preferably next to a small stream where they have some water.

Otherwise all those magnificent beasts will end up in a delicious stew.^^I think we should hire someone with vast knowledge on horses. The Jatu, I believe they are called, would be a good start. They're famous for their knowledge about horses. It may be quite deadly trying to speak with members of the patrolling warbands, but I heard that sometimes {s4} can be found in the taverns. They are more 'civilized' and we should be able to convince the most suitable one to stay here. ^^Leave negotiations to me, but in the meantime 5000 denars should help me to arrange everything. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_vet camp_master_pretalk|Not a bad idea. I will try my luck with {s4}. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_vet camp_master_pretalk.1|I have different plans at the moment. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2 camp_master_pretalk|I need to think about what you've just said. dlga_camp_master_task_1 camp_master_pretalk|I want to leave all my troops here. dlga_camp_master_task_1 camp_master_pretalk.1|I want to take all garrisoned troops with me. dlga_camp_master_task_1 close_window|Nevermind.

During the construction, workers discovered some remains of what once was a large storage room. The foundation was quite bad. Inside they found an assortment of items. You can see what we found laying on that table behind me. One is this old horse armor that is uniquely shaped. However, what is even more important, is that it's made out of unusual metal lightweight and strong. I remember that my master once mentioned about a rare ore, which was almost impossible to find. It ran between veins of ebony ore and once it's nature was discovered, was only acquired by royalty. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_3 camp_blacksmith_welcome_4|That is interesting. Is this armor still usable? dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_4 camp_blacksmith_welcome_5|Armor is in quite good shape, but it would require some work to restore it to its former glory. ^^There is a bigger problem though. It seems that this piece of equipment was made to fit a very large horse breed, not like the ones we have around here. I adjusted the armor as much as I could, but even after that I couldn't find a single horse that could wear it. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_5 close_window|You have mentioned that items made out of this metal were used only by royalty. It is most likely that they have had special horses as well, worthy to wear such a rare barding. I think it would be a good idea to visit the old Pendor capital and try to find out something about these old and large horse breeds. dlga_start close_window.46|I'm still working on your order, Commander.

Wasn't easy or cheap to get him, as only a few pedigrees have survived up to this point. ^^Some evidences suggest that the barding found here was made for this pedigree. What do you think? dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_2 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_3|Before I answer your question, Commander, let me do a few measurements. I know exactly where the previous horses failed, so it shouldn't take long. dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_3 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_4|And? dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_4 close_window|This steed and the barding matches almost perfectly! ^^Armor is nearly restored and only few small alterations are needed.

I fear we may soon expect grave news from Amala, foreboding a great invasion.^The task at hand for us, however, remains the destruction of the Snake Cult stronghold.

The watch commander tells us it's because of all the fighting on the frontiers - fewer men to keep an eye on the streets.

Last week, you see, they took my young sister. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2.1|Those damnable Mystmountain Raiders appear when least expected and vanish back into their mountains without a trace.

I wouldn't worry so much about it if she weren't my first wife's younger sister. She won't stop nagging me until I recover her little sister and the caterwauling in the women's quarters is driving me insane.

But, he's my own blood, after all. If I can't protect my kin, people will start thinking that I can't protect my investments, either, and I can't have that.

Our proud warrior women captives are sold at auction by Ramun in Singal, and we cannot enter Pendor cities to ransom them. The Pendor lords immure them in their towers and use them as sex slaves. This is intolerable to us! Sarleon ever threatens us and most of the Knightly Orders despise us. The Noldor have never been accepted by the rest of Pendor.

THE END OF HER JOURNEY[2] ［編集］ "Make sure to sweep," Reiter s father said weakly. A coughing fit shook his frail body. He clasped both hands over his mouth, but Reiter could still see phlegm leaking through the gaps between his bony fingers. "Inn... clean..." 「掃除を忘れるな」Reiterの父は弱々しく言った。咳が彼の痩せ衰えた体を揺らした。彼は両手で口を覆っていたが、その骨のようになった指の隙間から痰が漏れ出るのを見て取った。「宿を……綺麗にするんだ……」 "I will, Father. Finish your soup," Reiter said. 「わかってるよ、父さん。スープ飲んじゃってよ」Reiterは言った。 "Can t... don t like the taste..." 「この味は好きじゃない……」 "Bea made it especially for you this morning," Reiter said with more patience than he felt. "You need your strength. Finish it all." 「Beaは今朝、そのスープを父さんのために作ったんだよ」Reiterは彼が感じている以上の忍耐で言った。「頑張って全部飲んで」 He closed the door firmly and went back to the common room. The midday meal had been served hours earlier, and there were only three customers left at the tables the two tired merchants, discussing the prices of Westmarch wine, and the religious fellow, quietly paging through a thick book. Reiter walked behind the counter. His wife was sharpening one of the cooking knives. 彼はしっかりとドアを閉め、休憩室へと戻った。少し早い昼食が提供されており、3人の客だけがテーブルに残っていた。2人の疲れた商人はWestmarchのワインの価格について議論しており、宗教家は静かに厚い本をめくっていた。Reiterはカウンターの後ろへ歩いた。彼の妻が包丁を研いでいた。 "Would you mind taking my father some more tea?" Reiter asked. "He s not doing well today." 「父さんにお茶をあげてくれないか」Reiterは尋ねた。「今日はあまり調子が良くないみたいだ」 "Spare a little honey for him?" Bea asked with a sympathetic look. 「少し蜂蜜をあげましょうか？」Beaは思いやりのある表情で尋ねた。 Reiter sighed. Honey had grown expensive over the past few months. The merchant from Tristram was late. Reiter hoped he would be back by next week, but if he wasn t, the Oasis Inn would run out soon. Reiterはため息をついた。蜂蜜はここ数ヶ月高騰していた。Tristramからの商人の到着が遅れてるからだ。Reiterは商人が来週には戻ってきてくれる事を望んでいたが、もし彼が戻ってこなかったらすぐに蜂蜜が尽きてしまいそうだった。 "I don t think so." At her disapproving glare, he quickly added, "If we don t have enough honey, our customers will be unhappy and our reputation might suffer. My father wouldn t want that." Bea s expression grew darker. "I m sure he would tell you himself to skip the honey if he knew the situation. This inn is everything to him. It s his legacy." Reiter fidgeted for a moment, then held up his hands in surrender. "Fine. Give him the honey. A little bit." 「それはどうかな」彼女の避難の眼差しを受けて彼は慌てて付け加えた。「もし蜂蜜がなかったら、お客さん達は満足しないだろうし、うちの評判も悪くなる。父さんはそんな事望んでいないはずだよ」Beaの表情が暗くなった。「父さんがこの状況を知っていたら、蜂蜜はいらないと言うと思うよ。この宿屋は彼の全てだし、彼が作ったものだからね」Reiterはしばしそわそわし、降参し手を挙げた。「わかったよ。父さんに蜂蜜をあげよう。でも少しだけだよ」 If anything, her glare grew even more heated, but she made the tea—with a generous dollop of honey—and disappeared up the staircase. 彼女の怒りはより一層強くなったが、彼女は蜂蜜たっぷりのお茶を作り階段へと消えて行った。 Reiter sighed again. Even though he had given in, he was sure she would bring it up later. She seemed to delight in making him feel low for no reason. Reiterは再びため息をついた。彼が折れようが折れまいが、彼女は後で蜂蜜を持って行ったと確信していた。彼女は彼を理由もなく凹ませては喜んでいるように思えた。 The door of the inn swung open. Footsteps echoed through the common room. Reiter let his gaze linger on the staircase a moment longer and then began his welcome speech. "Welcome to the Oasis Inn, good sir. Can I help you?" 宿屋のドアが振り開いた。足音が休憩室に響いた。Reiterはしばらくの間未練がましく階段に視線を向けてから歓迎の言葉を口にした。「オアシスの宿屋によくぞいらっしゃいました。旦那様」 " Good sir ? At least that s better than madam, " an amused female voice said. 「旦那様？奥様よりはマシね」楽しそうな女性の声が言った。 Reiter turned. The new visitor was clad in heavy armor, the same heavy armor he had seen maybe eight or nine years ago. Helm, chestplate, shield, flail, white tabard embroidered with a Zakarum symbol—it was her. His mouth fell open. Reiterは表情を変えた。新しい客はヘビーアーマーに覆われていた。同じ鎧を8、9年前に見た事があった。兜、胸当て、盾、フレイル、Zakarumの紋章が刺繍された白い上着ー彼女だった。彼はポカンと口を開けた。 The crusader? "I... my apologies, madam," he said without thinking. クルセーダー？「し、失礼しました。奥様」彼は何も考えずに言った。 She chuckled easily. " Madam. My name is simply Anajinn." 彼女は軽く笑った。「奥様……ね。私はただのAnajinnよ」 "My apologies... Anajinn," Reiter said. Had that been her name? She looked different than he remembered. Her hair was lighter and longer, her jaw more defined, her nose a bit smaller. Strangely, she also seemed younger. 「失礼しました。Anajinn」Reiterは言った。それが彼女の名前だったか？彼女は彼の記憶とは違っていた。彼女の髪は明るい色で長かったし、彼女の顎はよりくっきりとしていた。彼女の鼻は小さく、奇妙な事に彼女は若く見えた。 He could feel the stares from the others in the common room. It was a little comforting to know he wasn t the only one intimidated by her appearance. "Do you need a room? Is your apprentice staying with you?" Apprentice. His stomach clenched. Images of a flipped table and a troublesome stain surfaced in his mind. Embarrassment welled up, and he banished the memory quickly. 彼は休憩室の中で他の人からの視線を感じた。彼女の外見に驚いているのが彼一人ではないと知って少し安心出来た。「お部屋をお探しですか？あなたのお弟子さんも一緒にお泊まりですか？」弟子ー彼の胃が締め付けられた。ひっくり返ったテーブルと厄介な汚れのイメージが彼の心に浮かんだ。恥ずかしさがこみ上げ、彼はその記憶を急いで追い出した。 "I ll only need a room for one. I have not yet found an apprentice," she said. "I would also like to revisit your library." 「部屋は一つで良いわ。弟子はまだ見つけていないの」彼女は言った。「書庫をもう一度調べたいの」 Reiter led her out of the common room, toward the library. "Certainly. We have the finest library in..." He trailed off with a frown. Not yet found an apprentice? Anajinn had one when she last visited. Then again, Reiter seemed to be remembering the entire ordeal incorrectly. He dismissed the thought. "Finest library in Kehjistan. Outside of Caldeum, of course." Reiterは彼女を書庫へ導いて休憩室を出た。「確かにここには最高の書庫があります……」彼は次第にしかめっ面になった。まだ弟子を見つけていない？最後にここを尋ねたときAnajinnは弟子を連れていた。そう考えたら、Reiterは完全に思い違いをしているのではないかと思った。彼はその考えを却下した。「Kehjistanでも最高の書庫です。もちろんCaldeum以外でも」 Anajinn kept pace with him, armor clanking heavily with each step. "I ve been to nearly three dozen outposts around this desert, and I believe you and your father are right," she said. "You do have the largest library I ve ever encountered outside of a big city. In fact, I ve never seen its like in a town like this." Anajinnは彼と歩調を合わせた。歩く旅に鎧がガチャガチャ音を立てた。「私はこの砂漠周辺で3ダース近くの基地を巡ったけど、あなたとあなたのお父様が正しいと信じているわ」彼女は言った。「私が今まで巡った大都会以外で最も大きな書庫がここにはあるわ。実際、この位の町でこれほどのものを見た事がないの」 "My father s idea," Reiter said. "Caldeum s Rest is small, but almost everyone heading to and from Caldeum along the southern route stops here. The oasis, you see. Last chance for water before you cross the nasty part of the desert. My father noticed that there were plenty of academics and scholars and religious pilgrims who didn t want to stay at the tavern down the road, so he created something inviting for them." A waste of time and effort, Reiter didn t add. There was far more coin to be made in wine and spirits than in providing a quiet study room for destitute students. "He let merchants know he was willing to buy any books they had." 「父のアイデアです」Reiterは語った。「Caldeumに宿屋は少ない、しかしCaldeumに向かう人もCaldeumから南のルートを沿ってくる人も、ほとんどここで止まります。ご覧とおりここにはオアシスがあります。砂漠のやっかいな箇所を超える前に水を補給する最後のチャンスですから。父は気付きました、多くの研修者や学者、巡礼者がこの先の宿屋になんて泊まりたくはないだろうと。それで父は彼らを誘う何かを作ったのです」時間と労力の無駄に思えて彼はそれ以上説明しなかった。貧乏学生に静かな勉強部屋を提供するよりも、ワインやスピリッツの方がお金になっただろう事を。「彼は商人達に彼らが持っている本を買う意思がある事を伝えていました」 “"Your father. He is well?" 「お父様は元気？」 "He is dying," Reiter said. 「父は死にかけています」Reiterは言った。 Anajinn inclined her head in sympathy. "Is there something I can do to help? Can I see him?" Anajinは同情の表情を浮かべた。「私に出来る事はある？彼に会う事は出来る？」 "He isn t lucid these days. I wouldn t want to upset him with any old memories." 「彼はここ数日ぼんやりしています。私は彼に昔の記憶で嫌な思いをして欲しくない」 Anajinn looked at him for a moment. "As you say." The library door was just ahead. "Are many of the books new since I last visited?" Anajinnは少しの間彼を見て言った。「それもそうね」書庫の扉の前までやってきた。「私が前に来たときよりも新しい本は多いの？」 "I think so," Reiter said. He hadn t read any of them himself. He held the door open. "Here we are." 「そのはずです」Reiterは言った。彼は自分ではそれらを読んでいなかったが。彼はドアを開けた。「こちらです」 "Thank you," she said. 「ありがとう」彼女は言った。 As she stepped back, a bit of her hair brushed Reiter s hand. A bit of her blond hair, he realized. It all rushed back to him in an instant—the master, the brown hair, the name. 彼女が後ずさったとき、Reiterの手が彼女の髪を撫でた。わずかな彼女のブロンドの髪で彼は確信した。一瞬のうちに全て思い出した。彼女の師匠、茶色の髪、その名前を持つもの。 "You... you re not Anajinn. You re the apprentice!" 「あなたは……あなたはAnajinnじゃない。あの時の弟子だ！」 He got a wry smile in return. "Not anymore," she said. 彼は苦笑いを向けた。「もう弟子ではないわ」彼女は言った。 "But... the armor... You said your name was Anajinn!" 「でも……この鎧……それに君は自分の事をAnajinnて言った！」 "That is my name," the woman said. 「それは私の名前よ」女は言った。 Reiter s confusion turned to anger. It felt as if she was having a laugh at his expense. Again. "That was your master s name!" Reiterの混乱は怒りに変わった。彼女が彼をネタに笑っているように感じられた。再度言う。「それは君の師匠の名前だった！」 "And it is my name." She still smiled. "Is it really so strange?" 「そして私の名前でもあるのよ」彼女はまだ微笑んでいた。「そんなにおかしい？」 "You—!" Reiter lowered his voice. "You talk like you are her," he hissed. "Were you trying to trick me? Didn t you embarrass me enough last time?" 「君は！」Reiterは声を落とした。「君は彼女の振りなんかして」不快感を表した。「僕を騙そうとしたのか？以前僕に十分恥をかかせたじゃないか？」 "I meant no disrespect. I am a crusader. I am Anajinn," she said. "As my master was. As her master was before." 「そんなつもりはないわ。私はクルセーダー、Anajinnよ」彼女は言った。「私の師匠がそうであったように。彼女の師匠もまたそうであったように」 "You were all named Anajinn?" 「君たちはみんなAnajinnを名乗るのか？」 "When I took up my master s shield, I took up her cause and her name," she said. 「私が彼女の盾を受け取ったとき、私は彼女が背負っているものと名前を受け取ったわ」彼女は言った。 "Took up her shield? Why? What happened? Is your master..." Dead? Reiter suddenly didn t want to know. He hurriedly changed the subject. "Are you still looking for books about the city of Ureh?" 「盾を受け取った？なぜ？何があったんだ？君の師匠は……」死んだのか？Reiterは不意に知りたくなくなった。慌てて話題を変えた。「君はまだUrehの都市に関する本を探しているのか？」 "No," she said. "I m seeking information on the lost memoirs of Tal Rasha." 「いいえ」彼女は言った。「Tal Rashaの失われた記録を探しているわ」 "I... see." Reiter didn t. "I ll leave you to it, then." He hastily made his exit and returned to the common room. 「そうか」Reiterはそれ以上何も聞かなかった。「ここは君に任せるよ」彼は急いで退室して休憩室へ戻った。 Bea was waiting. "A new guest?" Reiter nodded stiffly. "Who was she?" Bea asked. Beaが待っていた。「新しいお客さん？」Reiterはぎこちなく頷いた。「彼女は誰？」Beaは尋ねた。 "She visited here a few years ago. I think she might be insane," he whispered. Bea gave him a skeptical look. 「彼女は数年前にここに来た事があるんだ。彼女はちょっとおかしいと思う」彼は囁いた。Beaは彼に疑いの眼差しを向けた。 Reiter cleared away the dishes from the merchants and took a fresh pitcher of water to the lone man sitting at another table. She is crazy, Reiter thought, filling the man s glass to the brim. Nobody sane takes someone else s name and tries to live their life. It s not reasonable. Coldly he wondered how long it would take to sell off all the books in the library after his father died. It might be best if this crusader never had reason to return. Reiterは商人の皿を下げ、他のテーブルに一人で座っていた男に新鮮な水差しを取った。彼女は狂っている、Reiterは考えつつ、男のグラスへなみなみと水を注いだ。正常な人間は他の人の名前を名乗らないし、その人の人生を生きようとはしない。そんなのは普通じゃない。彼は冷静に父が死んだ後に、全ての本を売るのにどれ位時間がかかるのだろうかと思った。あのクルセーダーがここに戻ってくる理由がない方が良いだろう。 A severe voice interrupted his thoughts. "Innkeeper." It was the man whose glass he had just filled. The religious fellow. "Who is that woman? The one in the armor." 深刻な声が彼の思考を遮った。「主人」さっきグラスを満たした男だった。宗教家だった。「あの女は誰ですか？ほら、あの鎧の」 "I m honestly not sure," Reiter said. It was the truth. "She is a strange one." 「私もよくわからないのです」Reiterは言った。本当だった。「彼女は奇妙な人です」 The man firmly closed his book. On its cover was one of the familiar symbols of the Zakarum faith. It was remarkably similar to the sigil the crusader bore. Come to think of it, this man had arrived wearing armor of his own, not entirely dissimilar to Anajinn s. "She s been here before?" the man asked. 男は本をしっかりと閉じた。その本のカバーは馴染みのあるZakarum信仰のシンボルの一つだった。それはクルセーダーが身につけていた印と酷似していた。思い出してみると、この男は彼自身の鎧を身に着けここへやってきた。しかしそれはAnajinnのものとは似ても似つかないものだった。「彼女は以前ここに来た事があるのですか？」男は尋ねた。 There was an edge to his voice Reiter didn t like. "Once. Years ago. I was just a child," he said, hoping he sounded dismissive. "She seemed odd to me then. Not terribly reasonable, but harmless." Then he wondered if he had misjudged this man s intent. "Is... is she a friend of yours?" 彼の鋭い声がReiterは嫌いだった。「一度だけ。数年前に。私はまだ子供でした」彼は言った。拒否するように聞こえるように。「それ以来、私には彼女が奇妙に思えます。全く普通じゃない、しかし悪意はないようです」それから彼はこの男の意図を勘違いしているのではないかと思った。「彼女は……彼女はあなたの友人ですか？」 "No." Ice was warm compared to his tone. "Not reasonable, though. Interesting. What about you, innkeeper? Do you consider yourself reasonable?" 「いいえ」彼の声は氷よりも冷たかった。「普通じゃない、か。しかし興味深い。あなたはどうです？主人。あなたは自分が普通だと思いますか？」 "I suppose so," Reiter said. 「そう思ってます」Reiterは言った。 "Really? Why would a reasonable man shelter a heretic?" 「本当に？それならなぜ普通の人であるあなたが異端者を匿うのです？」 Reiter stepped back. "What?" Reiterは後ずさった。「何ですって？」 "I saw the symbols on her armor. On her tabard. Those signs are not meant to be decorative trinkets." The man stood up, giving Reiter his first look at his powerful stature. "I am a paladin of the Hand of Zakarum. I root out corruption and heresy wherever I find it." He jabbed a finger into Reiter s chest. The innkeeper nearly fell over. "I do not sense the Light within her. I sense something else. She cannot be allowed to dwell within your inn if you serve the faith. Do you, innkeeper?" 「彼女の鎧の紋章を見ましたか。上着にもありましたね。あれらの紋章はただの飾りではありませんよ」男は立ち上がりReiterにその長身を見せつけた。「私はZakarumのパラディンです。私は私が見つけた腐敗や異端を根絶やしにしてきました」彼は指でReiterの胸を押した。宿屋の主人は倒れそうになった。「彼女からは光を感じられない。それ以外の何かを感じるのです。もしあなたが信仰に仕えるのなら、彼女はこの宿に滞在する事は許されない。そうでしょう？主人」 "Yes, yes, of course," Reiter squeaked. 「は、はい。もちろんです」Reiterは甲高い声で答えた。 "Then why do you tolerate her presence?" the paladin said. 「それなら、なぜ彼女の滞在を許すのです？」パラディンは言った。 Reiter quaked beneath the looming man. He had never seen a paladin so angry before. "I give courtesy to all who claim the Light s favor. How could I have known what she is?" An idea occurred to him. "She called herself a crusader. I assumed she was faithful to your order. Forgive me," he said, dropping to his knees, prostrating himself. "I fear my ignorance has led me to grave sin. Can you forgive me, good sir?" He held his breath. Reiterは男の迫力におののいた。彼はそれまでこれほど怒ったパラディンを見た事はなかった。「私は光の支持を求める全ての人に礼儀を尽くしてきました。どうして彼女が何者か知る事が出来たでしょう？」ふと思い浮かんだ。「彼女は自らクルセーダーを名乗っています。私には彼女があなたの道理に忠実であると思えるのです。どうかお許しください」彼は言った。膝を折りひれ伏した。「私は私の無知が大罪へ導いているのではないか恐れています。お許しいただけませんか？」彼は固唾を飲んだ。 There was a long, long pause. "A crusader?" Reiter stole a quick glance upward. The paladin wasn t even looking at him. "Why does that name...?" 長い長い沈黙。「クルセーダーだって？」Reiterは素早く上目に盗み見た。パラディンは彼を見ていなかった。「なぜその名前を……？」 "Say the word, and I will have her removed from my inn immediately, good sir," Reiter breathed. 「命令とあらば、直にでも彼女をこの宿から追い出します。旦那様」Reiterは息を吐いた。 The paladin seemed lost in thought. "Yes. Tell her to meet me out front. I will examine her intentions myself. And if need be, I will deal with her." He strode up the stairs, taking his book with him. パラディンは物思いに耽っているようだった。「よろしい。彼女に宿の前で私と会うように伝えなさい。彼女の意図を探ってみましょう。事と次第では、彼女を処理する事になるでしょう」 Reiter stood uneasily, wiping sweat off his forehead. This is good, he told himself. Anajinn could sort out her own issues with the paladin. Outside. As far away from the inn as possible. He could hear the paladin stomping around upstairs. The clanking sounds meant he was putting on armor. Reiter shivered. Reiterは額の汗を拭い、不安そうに立ち尽くした。これで良いんだ。彼は自分に言い聞かせた。Anajinnは彼女の抱えている問題をパラディンと整理する事が出来た。外へ。なるべく宿から遠く（へ遠ざける事が出来る）。彼は階段を大きな足音を立てて歩くのを聞いた。ガチャガチャとなる音は彼が鎧を着ている事を意味していた。Reiterは身震いした。 But he didn t want Anajinn to know how scared he was. She had already seen him humiliated at the hands of a little water and blood. No, he decided. He would simply tell her to leave. The rest was unimportant. This was Reiter s inn—or it would be, once his father died—and he wanted her gone. That was reasonable. しかし、彼はAnajinnに彼がどれほど怖がっているか知って欲しくなかった。彼女は既に少量の水と血で彼の恥ずかしい所を見ていた。いや、彼は心に決めた。彼は彼女に単に去るように言うだろう。その後は重要ではなかった。ここはReiterの宿だったーもしくは彼の父が死んだらそうなるだろうーそして彼は彼女に去って欲しかった。それは普通の考えだった。 Anajinn was reading through a thick tome when he entered the library. "Anajinn, or whatever your name is, you need to leave now." She glanced up at him and turned a page, tracing along the text with her gauntleted fingers as she read. 彼が書庫に入ったとき、Anajinnは分厚く大きな本を読んでいた。「Anajinn、いや名前なんてどうでも良い。直に出て行ってくれないか」彼女はちらりと彼を見、また本に目を戻した。読むのに併せてガントレットに包まれた彼女の指が文字を追っていた。 "I heard some angry words out there," she said. 「なにやら怒声が聞こえたわね」彼女は言った。 "There s a man... a paladin. He says you re a heretic," Reiter said. 「パラディンが来ているんだ。彼は君の事を異端だと言っている」Reiterは言った。 She laughed. "I suppose he would." Her eyes never left the book. Reiter stammered incoherently for a moment. "Did he threaten to kill me?" she asked. 彼女は笑った。「彼はそう言うでしょね」彼女は本に目を戻さなかった。Reiterはしばらく支離滅裂な事を口ごもった。「彼は私を殺すと脅してきたの？」彼女は尋ねた。 "Well, not... Yes." Reiter tried to make his voice firm. "I think he means to kill you. He s waiting outside for you now." 「いや、それは……うん」Reiterは平静を装おうとした。「彼は君を殺すつもりだと思うよ。外で君の事を待っているよ」 "Nice of him to send you to warn me." 「私に警告するためにあなたを寄越すとは彼は親切ね」 She continued to read. Reiter shifted uncomfortably. "Aren t you going to... face him?" 彼女は本を読み続けた。Reiterは気まずくなって来た。「彼と会わないつもりか？」 "Eventually. If he s still there," she said. "He might be waiting a while. I have a lot of reading left. Maybe he ll find something better to do." 「結果的に、彼がまだそこにいるなら」彼女は言った。「しばらくは待っているでしょう。私には読むべき本がたくさんあります。おそらく、彼ももっと他にやるべき事を見つけるでしょう」 Reiter felt utterly helpless. Dragging her out seemed like a bad idea. Still, he pressed forward. "Anajinn, I want you to leave my inn. Right now." She didn t immediately respond, and Reiter exploded. "What is wrong with you? What is in that book that s more important than a man trying to kill you? Why in the Hells have you come back to my inn?" Reiterは無力感を感じた。彼女を無理矢理引っ張って行くのは難しいようだ。彼は再度言った。「Anajinn、直にこの宿から出て行ってくれないか」彼女は直には何も反応しなかった。Reiterは激怒した。「何なんだよ！？君を殺そうといているヤツの事よりも大事な何がその本にあるって言うんだ？いったい何故俺の宿に戻って来たんだ？」 Anajinn sighed and set down her book, sitting up straight. Her armor clacked together lightly. "Your father asked my master—" Anajinnはため息を吐き本を置き、居住まいを正した。彼女の鎧が動きに併せて軽く音を立てた。「あなたのお父様が私の師匠に尋ねたわ」 "The real Anajinn? The first one?" Reiter interrupted without thinking. 「本当のAnajinnが？最初の彼女が？」Reiterは無意識に遮った。 She didn t seem to take offense. "Her, yes. But she wasn t the first. Anajinn began her crusade a couple centuries ago," she said. Reiter blinked at that, but she moved on. "Your father asked all about our crusade. He didn t share that with you?" Reiter shook his head, lips pressed together. "Then I ll be brief. I m searching for something to save my faith." 彼女は気を悪くした様子はなかった。「ええ、彼女よ。でも彼女は最初ではないわ。Anajinnは何世紀も前に彼女の聖戦を始めたのよ」Reiterはその話に驚いた。彼女は続けた。「あなたのお父様は私たちクルセーダーについて尋ねたわ。彼はその事をあなたに話さなかったの？」Reiterは首を横に振り、口を閉じた。「そう、それなら手短に。私は私の信仰を守るためのものを探しているの」 "From... what?" 「守る？……何から？」 Anajinn s smile was sad. "Decay. Corruption." Anajinnの微笑みは悲しげだった。「腐敗、堕落よ」 "So why does this paladin hate you so much?" 「それなら何故あのパラディンは君をそんなに憎んでいるんだ？」 "Would you be happy to have someone tell you your faith is flawed at its core? Doomed to rot and cause untold suffering and pain?" She sighed. "I don t think this paladin outside is of high rank. Knowledge of the crusade is suppressed to all but the leaders of his order. If he were one of them, he would not wait patiently." 「あなたの信仰はその中核に間違いがあるって言われたら良い気はしないでしょう？腐敗する運命と口では言い表せないほどの苦しみと痛みを持って幸せになれる？」彼女はため息をついた。「私にはそのパラディンが高位のものとは思えないわ。クルセーダーの見識は彼の組織の指導者達ほとんど全てに修められているの。彼がもしその一人なら、根気強く私を待ったりしないでしょう」 "What would he do?" 「彼は何をするつもりなんだ？」 "He would level your inn to kill me." Anajinn s expression hardened. "I don t know whether I can talk sense into him. If I can t, I ll likely need to leave town. So until I m ready to leave, I m going to finish my reading." 「彼は私を殺すためにあなたの宿屋を壊すでしょう」Anajinnは表情を硬くした。「私が感じている事を彼に話す事が出来るかどうかはわからない。もし出来なければ、私はこの町を去る事になるでしょう。だからこの町を去る準備が出来るまで本を読むわ」 "But he threatened to kill me too!" There. It was out. 「でも彼は俺も殺すと脅して来た」彼は外にいる。 A pause. "Did he?" 少しの間。「彼が？」 "Well, not in so many words..." 「あぁ……はっきりと言った訳ではないが……」 Anajinn cut him off. "But you felt threatened." It wasn t a question. Anajinn closed her book. "Then I will leave immediately. I don t want you to feel at risk because of me. Anajinnは彼を遮った。「でもあなたは脅されたと感じたのね」それは質問ではなかった。Anajinnは本を閉じた。「それなら私は直にここを出るわ。私のせいであなたに迷惑をかけたくないの」 "But this book," she said, holding it up. "Would you be willing to sell it? I can pay a fair price." 「でもこの本」彼女はその本を掲げて言った。「この本を売ってくれない？お金は払うから」 Reiter stared at her. Reiterは彼女をじっと見つめた。 *** Amphi could feel his patience slipping away with each passing heartbeat, like grains of sand tumbling through the neck of an hourglass. Wind whipped through the road in front of the inn, grinding sand against his armor. Amphiは彼の冷静さが心臓の鼓動とともに消え去るのを感じた。まるで砂の粒が砂時計から落ちるようだった。宿屋の前の道を吹き抜ける風が、彼の鎧に砂を叩き付けた。 "Crusader," the paladin muttered. He could not recall where he had first heard the name. Perhaps he had read it? Studied it as an acolyte in Kurast? No. He was certain of it. So why did the name trouble him so? Crusaders were not friends of Amphi s order. He knew that much, but even that knowledge felt incomplete. The symbols on her armor were carefully, reverently rendered. No obvious blasphemy. She was not a clown, nor was she one of the actors who painted Zakarum symbols on their bodies and pranced around in low taverns. 「クルセーダー……」パラディンは呟いた。彼は最初にどこでその名前を聞いたのか思い出せなかった。本で読んだのだろうか？Kurastの見習いとして勉強したのだろうか？いや、彼は確信していた。ならば何故その名前がこれほどまでに彼を悩ませるのだろうか？クルセーダー達とAmphiの組織とは友好関係にはなかった。彼はそれを良く知っていた。しかしながら、その見識は不十分だと感じていた。彼女の鎧の紋章は丁寧に、恭しく描かれていた。それは明らかな冒涜ではない。彼女は道化でもなければ、Zakarumの紋章を体に刻み安酒場を廻る役者でもなかった。 Cennis. That was a name Amphi hadn t thought of in many years. One of his best friends in the Travincal temples, the boy had had an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Maybe that was it. Cennis had snuck into the study of one of the Hand of Zakarum s elders one night and stolen a book. He had excitedly told Amphi about all the things he had learned, things the students had never been taught. He was even a little frightened. He had found hidden knowledge, lost crimes. Fractures within the faith. Strangely, Cennis disappeared soon after, and Amphi... Cennis、Amphiが長年思い出さなかった名前だった。Travincal寺院における親友の一人だった少年は、満たされる事のない知識への渇きを持っていた。おそらくそのためだろう。Cennisはある夜、あるZakarumの長老の研究に忍び込み本を盗み出した。彼は興奮してAmphiに彼が学んだ事、学生が教わる事のなかった事を話した。彼は少し恐れた。彼は隠された知識や、失われた罪を見つけ出した。信仰の中の亀裂さえも。奇妙な事に、Cennisはその後しばらくして姿を消した。そしてAmphiは……。 What had happened to Cennis? Amphi grew angry. It was a familiar feeling. Every time he thought back to his childhood, hatred and rage flowed into his mind. It was as if the memories were buried in a toxic cesspool, covered in vileness. Soon, his curiosity faded in a whirlwind of fury and— Cennisに何があったのだろうか？Amphiは腹を立てた。馴染みのある感覚だった。幼い頃の事を思い返す度に憎悪と怒りが彼の心に流れ込んだ。それはまるで記憶が腐った汚水に埋まり、不快なものに覆われたような感覚だった。直に、彼の好奇心は怒り狂ったような暴風に消えて行った。そしてーー。 The crusader. Amphi could feel his patience slipping away with each passing heartbeat like grains of sand. He pressed his hands to his head and blinked. What had he just been thinking about? A childhood friend? That was it. He put it out of his mind. There were more important things to focus on. クルセーダー……。Amphiは彼の冷静さが心臓の鼓動と共に砂粒のように消えて行くのを感じられた。彼は手を頭に押し付け瞬きした。彼はどう考えていたのだろうか？幼なじみ？それは正しいだろう。彼はその考えを追い出した。それよりも意識すべき重要な事があった。 "You wanted to speak with me?" The voice brought Amphi back to the present. There she was. 「私と話をしたいと言うのはあなた？」声がAmphiを現実に引き戻した。そこに彼女がいた。 Amphi spotted people darting indoors up and down the street. Travelers and inhabitants alike were taking cover. Wise of them, Amphi judged. He abruptly realized that the woman was giving him a strange look, her head cocked to one side. "Are you feeling well, paladin?" she asked. Amphiは屋内や通りの人々に素早く目を走らせた。旅人や住民は皆等しく避難していた。賢明だ。Amphiはそう評価した。彼は突然、女が首を傾げ、彼に奇妙な視線を向けている事に気付いた。「どうしたの？パラディン」彼女は尋ねた。 "Tell me your name," he said harshly. "Tell me who you are, if the evil that compels you—" 「名を名乗れ」彼は厳しく言った。「お前は何者だ、もし良からぬ事を考えているようならー」 "My name is Anajinn. I m a crusader." She raised an eyebrow. "And I m hoping we can have a calm conversation." 「私はAnajinn、クルセーダーよ」彼女は眉を上げた。「落ち着いて話し合いましょう」 "I don t negotiate with evil. I smite it where I find it," Amphi snapped. 「悪魔と交渉するつもりはない。見つけ次第殺すだけだ」Amphiは怒鳴った。 "Good," Anajinn said cheerfully. "Then we have something in common. But I believe there s no need for smiting today. What troubles you?" 「良いわね」Anajinnは陽気に言った。「それなら、私たちは同じね。でも今日はその必要はないと思うわ。何を悩んでいるの？」 Amphi drew his sword in a swift motion. Her gaze didn t waver, which only angered him more. "You are a heretic, are you not?" Amphiは素早く剣を抜いた。彼女の視線は動かなかった。それが彼を更に怒らせた。「お前は異端者だ、そうだろう？」 "I am not," she said. 「いいえ」彼女は言った。 "You claim my faith?" he roared. "You claim obedience to Zakarum?" 「私の信仰を奪う気か？」彼は吠えた。「Zakarumへの忠誠を奪うのか？」 "Not in the way you mean," Anajinn said. Pausing, she regarded him with sympathy. "We have much in common, paladin. Much in common. We both want the same things." 「そう言う意味じゃないわ」Anajinnは言った。一瞬、彼女は彼へ同情の目を向けた。「私たちは共通点を持っているわ。パラディン。共通点よ。私たちは2人とも同じ事を望んでいるわ」 Amphi spat on the ground. Why were this woman s words gnawing at his insides? He could barely keep himself from attacking her here and now. The urge only grew stronger, yet he resisted, pressing on in a tight voice. "Those symbols you wear. They are sacred. You have no right to wear them." Amphiは地面にツバを吐いた。なぜこの女の言葉は彼を悩ませるのか？彼は辛うじて今ここで彼女の攻撃から自我を守っていた。衝動だけが強くなったが、彼は抵抗し押し殺した声で言った。「お前が身につけているその紋章、それは神聖なものだ。お前にそれを身につける資格はない」 The crusader shook her head. "That is not what troubles you, is it? Tell me what you know of me." クルセーダーは首を横に振った。「それがあなたの悩みではないでしょう？私の何を知っていると言うの？」 "You desecrate my faith," he said. 「お前は私の信仰を冒涜している」彼は言った。 "How?" 「どうやって？」 "I... don t... know," he growled. 「それは……わからない……」彼は唸った。 "Here s what I know," Anajinn said. "I know that evil can thrive anywhere. Anywhere at all. Even among those who claim virtue and justice. Especially if they are not watchful." 「私が知っているのは」Anajinnは言った。「悪魔はどこでも成長する事が出来るわ、どんな所でもね。たとえ美徳と正義を重んじる人であってもね。気を配っていないと特にね。」 "Be quiet," Amphi whispered. His anger was slipping away. 「黙れ」Amphiは囁いた。彼の怒りは消え失せていた。 "I know that the path that led you to where you are is filled with regrets," she continued. "I know that you value righteousness, and I know you ve come to suspect that something is wrong within the faith. I know that you ve struggled to understand it, and most importantly, I know that you are strong, because you ve not truly succumbed to evil yet." 「あなたが歩んで来た道は後悔で満たされている事を知っているわ」彼女は続けた。「私はあなたが正義を重んじている事を知っているし、あなたが信仰の中に疑いを持ち始めている事も知っているわ。それを理解しようと苦労して来た事もね。でも一番大事な事は、私があなたが強くて、悪魔に屈した事がないと言う事を知っている事よ」 "Please stop talking," Amphi begged. She was right. About all of it. There were endless moments when he questioned the actions of his order. His thoughts were in a tumult. 「お願いだから止めてくれ」Amphiは懇願した。彼女は全てにおいて正しかった。彼が組織の行いに疑問を持った事は幾度となくあった。彼は混乱していた。 "I know you ve felt the Light s glory, or else you would have discarded your oaths," she said. "And I know that you ve felt it in the fields, among the world, among its people... but never in Travincal. Never in the temples of your order. And I know that you know why. Deep in your heart, you know. Even if the answers have been hidden from you." 「あなたが光の栄誉を感じたことはわかるわ、そうでなければあなたは誓いを捨てていたでしょう」彼女は言った。「それにあなたが戦場で、世界の中で、人々の間でそれを感じた事もわかるわ。でもTravincalでは感じられなかった。あなたの組織の寺院でも。そして私はそれが何故か知っているわ。あなたの心の奥底にあるものも。たとえ答えがあなたの中に隠れていようともね」 Pain blazed between his eyes. He silently lowered his head. A storm raged within. He sank deep in its fury and looked for truth. 痛みが彼の眉間に燃え立った。彼は静かに頭を垂れていた。砂嵐が吹き荒れていた。彼は怒りに深く沈みながら真実を求めた。 What he saw was a stone. Darkness surrounded it. 彼が見つけたものは石だった。闇が取り囲んでいた。 Something gave way. His turmoil vanished in an instant. 何かが崩れ落ちた。彼の混乱は一瞬の内に消え失せた。 Hatred. Hatred took its place. Pure, naked hatred. 憎しみだった。憎しみが場を支配した。純粋な、剥き出しの憎しみだった。 Amphi pointed his sword at the crusader, feeling clarity of purpose for the first time since laying eyes on her. He raised his hands above his head and summoned the power of the Light. "I am done with words, heretic. Die!" he roared. Amphiは彼女を目にして以来初めて明確な目的を感じ、剣をクルセーダーに向けた。彼は手を頭上に掲げ、光の力を呼び出した。「話はここまでだ、異端者よ。死ね！」彼は吠えた。 Anajinn simply nodded. "So be it." She smiled sadly as Amphi cast his might down on her. 彼女はただ頷いた。「そう、仕方ないわね」彼女はAmphiが彼女に力を振るうのを見て悲しそうに微笑んだ。 *** Reiter couldn t make out the paladin s words, but there was no mistaking how the expression on his face turned ugly. The innkeeper s son continued to peer through the front window of the inn. A moment later, Bea joined him."Get back," he hissed. "It s not safe." Reiterはパラディンの言葉が理解出来なかったが、彼の表情が醜悪なものに変わって行くのは間違いなかった。宿屋の息子は宿屋の窓から見続けていた。しばらくして、Beaがこれに加わった。「下がって」彼は制止した。「ここは危ない」 "You first," she said. Reiter glowered at her, but a flash of light drew his gaze back to the street. 「あなたが先よ」彼女は言った。Reiterは彼女を睨みつけた。しかし閃光が彼の視線を通りへと引き戻した。 Bea inhaled sharply. Reiter flinched. The paladin had summoned... something... that glowed like the midday sun. The man held it above his head, shouted at Anajinn, and then cast it down on her. Beaは素早く息を吸い込んだ。Reiterは後ずさりした。パラディンが何か……真昼の太陽のように輝くものを呼び寄せていた。男はそれを頭上に掲げ、Anajinnに向かって叫んだ。そしてそれを彼女に向かって振り下ろした。 Just before it landed, Reiter saw Anajinn smile. それが地面に直撃する直前、ReiterはAnajinnが微笑んでいるのを見た。 There was a tremendous sound, and a great, billowing cloud of fire flared where Anajinn had been standing an instant ago. Of the crusader, there was no sign. とてつもない音とともに、Anajinnが直前まで立っていた場所に巨大な炎が渦巻いた。クルセーダーには全く効いていなかった。 For the briefest moment. ほんのつかの間の後。 Light crashed down from above, a bolt of pure power and radiance. Anajinn crashed down with it. The paladin didn t see it coming. And then he saw nothing at all. 光が純粋な力と輝きのボルトになり上方から落下した。Anajinnがそれを振り下ろした。パラディンは全く予期していなかった。その後彼は何も見えなくなった。 Reiter shouted in fear and stumbled backward, throwing up his arms to shield his eyes from the blinding light. When he lowered his hands, the sharp purple shape of the bolt still danced in his vision. Blinking fiercely, he squinted. Anajinn stood alone, calm, flail slowly swinging at her side. Reiterは恐怖に駆られて叫び後ずさりしながら、眩い光から目を守るために腕を上げていた。彼が腕を下げたとき、鋭い形をした紫のボルトがまだ彼の視界で踊っていた。激しい点滅に目を細めた。Anajinnは落ち着いて立っており、フレイルがゆっくりと彼女の傍で回転していた。 Of the paladin, there were signs. Many of them, scattered across a great distance. The sand surrounding Anajinn seemed damp. パラディンの形跡があった。それらの多くは遠くに飛び散っていた。Anajinnを取り巻く砂が湿っているように見えた。 Reiter felt himself beginning to tremble. Bea stood with her hands clasped over her mouth. Reiter stared numbly as Anajinn carefully placed the flail s shaft in her armor s securing loop, and then with one final look toward the inn, Anajinn walked west, down the road and out of Caldeum s Rest, with the setting sun as her guide. Reiterは震えを感じた。Beaは握った手を口に当て立ち尽くしていた。Reiterは、Anajinnが注意深くフレイルのシャフトを彼女の鎧の固定された留め金に収めるのを痺れたように見つめていた。それからAnajinは最後に宿屋を一瞥し、夕日をガイドに西へ、Caldeumの宿屋から道の向こうへと歩き出した。 She was accompanied by total silence. The town watched her go with bated breath. 彼女は沈黙を伴っていた。町は彼女が去るのを息をひそめて見ていた。 Reiter heard noises from upstairs. From his father s quarters. Reiter sprinted to the second floor and opened the door. "Father, are you well?" Reiterは上階から騒ぎ声を聞いた。彼の父の部屋だった。Reiterは急いで2階へ上がりドアを開けた。「父さん、大丈夫？」 His father hadn t been so alive in months. He was staring out the window, eyes following Anajinn as she vanished into the desert. "She s the one, right? From years ago! I wish she had come up for a visit. I knew she had salt. She took proper care of that bastard, eh?" 彼の父はここ数ヶ月死んだようだった。彼は窓の外を見つめており、瞳は砂漠へと消えたAnajinnを追っていた。「彼女はあの女だろう？数年前のあれだ！ここに泊まりに来たと願いたいな。彼女が刺激を運んでくる事は分かっていたぞ。彼女はあのならず者に適切な対応をしただろう？」 "I suppose so," Reiter said. 「僕もそう思うよ」Reiterは言った。 【コメント注意事項】 ・既存の翻訳文章への指摘は、可能なら代替案（翻訳）を考えて当該の翻訳文章に並べて直接ページの編集をお願いいたします。 （既存の翻訳を削除せず、ご自分の翻訳を２行目に追加してください。管理人が後に良いと判断した翻訳のみ表示するように変更します） ・代替案が思い浮かばない場合は、翻訳者に失礼のならないよう、優しい文章で指摘してください。 ・ご指摘の際は、対象の箇所が特定できる原文の一部を記載下さい。 ・このコメント内で議論をしないで下さい。ご指摘、ご意見のみご報告下さい。 ・良識が欠けていたり、意義の無いコメントは削除させていただきます。 冒険者名 コメント すべてのコメントを見る

The Conference and the Terms of the Treaty I do not believe that, at the date of the Armistice, responsible authorities in the Allied countries expected any indemnity from Germany beyond the cost of reparation for the direct material damage which had resulted from the invasion of Allied territory and from the submarine campaign. At that time there were serious doubts as to whether Germany intended to accept our terms, which in other respects were inevitably very severe, and it would have been thought an unstatesmanlike act to risk a continuance of the war by demanding a money payment which Allied opinion was not then anticipating and which probably could not be secured in any case. The French, I think, never quite accepted this point of view; but it was certainly the British attitude; and in this atmosphere the pre-Armistice conditions were framed. A month later the atmosphere had changed completely. We had discovered how hopeless the German position really was, a discovery which some, though not all, had anticipated, but which no one had dared reckon on as a certainty. It was evident that we could have secured unconditional surrender if we had determined to get it. But there was another new factor in the situation which was of greater local importance. The British Prime Minister had perceived that the conclusion of hostilities might soon bring with it the break-up of the political bloc upon which he was depending for his personal ascendency, and that the domestic difficulties which would be attendant on demobilization, the turn-over of industry from war to peace conditions, the financial situation, and the general psychological reactions of men s minds, would provide his enemies with powerful weapons, if he were to leave them time to mature. The best chance, therefore, of consolidating his power, which was personal and exercised, as such, independently of party or principle, to an extent unusual in British politics, evidently lay in active hostilities before the prestige of victory had abated, and in an attempt to found on the emotions of the moment a new basis of power which might outlast the inevitable reactions of the near future. Within a brief period, therefore, after the Armistice, the popular victor, at the height of his influence and his authority, decreed a General Election. It was widely recognized at the time as an act of political immorality. There were no grounds of public interest which did not call for a short delay until the issues of the new age had a little defined themselves and until the country had something more specific before it on which to declare its mind and to instruct its new representatives. But the claims of private ambition determined otherwise. For a time all went well. But before the campaign was far advanced Government candidates were finding themselves handicapped by the lack of an effective cry. The War Cabinet was demanding a further lease of authority on the ground of having won the war. But partly because the new issues had not yet defined themselves, partly out of regard for the delicate balance of a Coalition Party, the Prime Minister s future policy was the subject of silence or generalities. The campaign seemed, therefore, to fall a little flat. In the light of subsequent events it seems improbable that the Coalition Party was ever in real danger. But party managers are easily "rattled." The Prime Minister s more neurotic advisers told him that he was not safe from dangerous surprises, and the Prime Minister lent an ear to them. The party managers demanded more "ginger." The Prime Minister looked about for some. On the assumption that the return of the Prime Minister to power was the primary consideration, the rest followed naturally. At that juncture there was a clamor from certain quarters that the Government had given by no means sufficiently clear undertakings that they were not going "to let the Hun off." Mr. Hughes was evoking a good deal of attention by his demands for a very large indemnity,[99] and Lord Northcliffe was lending his powerful aid to the same cause. This pointed the Prime Minister to a stone for two birds. By himself adopting the policy of Mr. Hughes and Lord Northcliffe, he could at the same time silence those powerful critics and provide his party managers with an effective platform cry to drown the increasing voices of criticism from other quarters. The progress of the General Election of 1918 affords a sad, dramatic history of the essential weakness of one who draws his chief inspiration not from his own true impulses, but from the grosser effiuxions of the atmosphere which momentarily surrounds him. The Prime Minister s natural instincts, as they so often are, were right and reasonable. He himself did not believe in hanging the Kaiser or in the wisdom or the possibility of a great indemnity. On the 22nd of November he and Mr. Bonar Law issued their Election Manifesto. It contains no allusion of any kind either to the one or to the other but, speaking, rather, of Disarmament and the League of Nations, concludes that "our first task must be to conclude a just and lasting peace, and so to establish the foundations of a new Europe that occasion for further wars may be for ever averted." In his speech at Wolverhampton on the eve of the Dissolution (November 24), there is no word of Reparation or Indemnity. On the following day at Glasgow, Mr. Bonar Law would promise nothing. "We are going to the Conference," he said, "as one of a number of allies, and you cannot expect a member of the Government, whatever he may think, to state in public before he goes into that Conference, what line he is going to take in regard to any particular question." But a few days later at Newcastle (November 29) the Prime Minister was warming to his work "When Germany defeated France she made France pay. That is the principle which she herself has established. There is absolutely no doubt about the principle, and that is the principle we should proceed upon—that Germany must pay the costs of the war up to the limit of her capacity to do so." But he accompanied this statement of principle with many "words of warning" as to the practical difficulties of the case "We have appointed a strong Committee of experts, representing every shade of opinion, to consider this question very carefully and to advise us. There is no doubt as to the justice of the demand. She ought to pay, she must pay as far as she can, but we are not going to allow her to pay in such a way as to wreck our industries." At this stage the Prime Minister sought to indicate that he intended great severity, without raising excessive hopes of actually getting the money, or committing himself to a particular line of action at the Conference. It was rumored that a high city authority had committed himself to the opinion that Germany could certainly pay $100,000,000,000 and that this authority for his part would not care to discredit a figure of twice that sum. The Treasury officials, as Mr. Lloyd George indicated, took a different view. He could, therefore, shelter himself behind the wide discrepancy between the opinions of his different advisers, and regard the precise figure of Germany s capacity to pay as an open question in the treatment of which he must do his best for his country s interests. As to our engagements under the Fourteen Points he was always silent. On November 30, Mr. Barnes, a member of the War Cabinet, in which he was supposed to represent Labor, shouted from a platform, "I am for hanging the Kaiser." On December 6, the Prime Minister issued a statement of policy and aims in which he stated, with significant emphasis on the word European, that "All the European Allies have accepted the principle that the Central Powers must pay the cost of the war up to the limit of their capacity." But it was now little more than a week to Polling Day, and still he had not said enough to satisfy the appetites of the moment. On December 8, the Times, providing as usual a cloak of ostensible decorum for the lesser restraint of its associates, declared in a leader entitled "Making Germany Pay," that "The public mind was still bewildered by the Prime Minister s various statements." "There is too much suspicion," they added, "of influences concerned to let the Germans off lightly, whereas the only possible motive in determining their capacity to pay must be the interests of the Allies." "It is the candidate who deals with the issues of to-day," wrote their Political Correspondent, "who adopts Mr. Barnes s phrase about hanging the Kaiser and plumps for the payment of the cost of the war by Germany, who rouses his audience and strikes the notes to which they are most responsive." On December 9, at the Queen s Hall, the Prime Minister avoided the subject. But from now on, the debauchery of thought and speech progressed hour by hour. The grossest spectacle was provided by Sir Eric Geddes in the Guildhall at Cambridge. An earlier speech in which, in a moment of injudicious candor, he had cast doubts on the possibility of extracting from Germany the whole cost of the war had been the object of serious suspicion, and he had therefore a reputation to regain. "We will get out of her all you can squeeze out of a lemon and a bit more," the penitent shouted, "I will squeeze her until you can hear the pips squeak"; his policy was to take every bit of property belonging to Germans in neutral and Allied countries, and all her gold and silver and her jewels, and the contents of her picture-galleries and libraries, to sell the proceeds for the Allies benefit. "I would strip Germany," he cried, "as she has stripped Belgium." By December 11 the Prime Minister had capitulated. His Final Manifesto of Six Points issued on that day to the electorate furnishes a melancholy comparison with his program of three weeks earlier. I quote it in full " 1. Trial of the Kaiser. 2. Punishment of those responsible for atrocities. 3. Fullest Indemnities from Germany. 4. Britain for the British, socially and industrially. 5. Rehabilitation of those broken in the war. 6. A happier country for all." Here is food for the cynic. To this concoction of greed and sentiment, prejudice and deception, three weeks of the platform had reduced the powerful governors of England, who but a little while before had spoken not ignobly of Disarmament and a League of Nations and of a just and lasting peace which should establish the foundations of a new Europe. On the same evening the Prime Minister at Bristol withdrew in effect his previous reservations and laid down four principles to govern his Indemnity Policy, of which the chief were First, we have an absolute right to demand the whole cost of the war; second, we propose to demand the whole cost of the war; and third, a Committee appointed by direction of the Cabinet believe that it can be done.[100] Four days later he went to the polls. The Prime Minister never said that he himself believed that Germany could pay the whole cost of the war. But the program became in the mouths of his supporters on the hustings a great deal more than concrete. The ordinary voter was led to believe that Germany could certainly be made to pay the greater part, if not the whole cost of the war. Those whose practical and selfish fears for the future the expenses of the war had aroused, and those whose emotions its horrors had disordered, were both provided for. A vote for a Coalition candidate meant the Crucifixion of Anti-Christ and the assumption by Germany of the British National Debt. It proved an irresistible combination, and once more Mr. George s political instinct was not at fault. No candidate could safely denounce this program, and none did so. The old Liberal Party, having nothing comparable to offer to the electorate, was swept out of existence.[101] A new House of Commons came into being, a majority of whose members had pledged themselves to a great deal more than the Prime Minister s guarded promises. Shortly after their arrival at Westminster I asked a Conservative friend, who had known previous Houses, what he thought of them. "They are a lot of hard-faced men," he said, "who look as if they had done very well out of the war." This was the atmosphere in which the Prime Minister left for Paris, and these the entanglements he had made for himself. He had pledged himself and his Government to make demands of a helpless enemy inconsistent with solemn engagements on our part, on the faith of which this enemy had laid down his arms. There are few episodes in history which posterity will have less reason to condone,—a war ostensibly waged in defense of the sanctity of international engagements ending in a definite breach of one of the most sacred possible of such engagements on the part of victorious champions of these ideals.[102] Apart from other aspects of the transaction, I believe that the campaign for securing out of Germany the general costs of the war was one of the most serious acts of political unwisdom for which our statesmen have ever been responsible. To what a different future Europe might have looked forward if either Mr. Lloyd George or Mr. Wilson had apprehended that the most serious of the problems which claimed their attention were not political or territorial but financial and economic, and that the perils of the future lay not in frontiers or sovereignties but in food, coal, and transport. Neither of them paid adequate attention to these problems at any stage of the Conference. But in any event the atmosphere for the wise and reasonable consideration of them was hopelessly befogged by the commitments of the British delegation on the question of Indemnities. The hopes to which the Prime Minister had given rise not only compelled him to advocate an unjust and unworkable economic basis to the Treaty with Germany, but set him at variance with the President, and on the other hand with competing interests to those of France and Belgium. The clearer it became that but little could be expected from Germany, the more necessary it was to exercise patriotic greed and "sacred egotism" and snatch the bone from the juster claims and greater need of France or the well-founded expectations of Belgium. Yet the financial problems which were about to exercise Europe could not be solved by greed. The possibility of their cure lay in magnanimity. Europe, if she is to survive her troubles, will need so much magnanimity from America, that she must herself practice it. It is useless for the Allies, hot from stripping Germany and one another, to turn for help to the United States to put the States of Europe, including Germany, on to their feet again. If the General Election of December, 1918, had been fought on lines of prudent generosity instead of imbecile greed, how much better the financial prospect of Europe might now be. I still believe that before the main Conference, or very early in its proceedings, the representatives of Great Britain should have entered deeply, with those of the United States, into the economic and financial situation as a whole, and that the former should have been authorized to make concrete proposals on the general lines (1) that all inter-allied indebtedness be canceled outright; (2) that the sum to be paid by Germany be fixed at $10,000,000,000; (3) that Great Britain renounce all claim to participation in this sum and that any share to which she proves entitled be placed at the disposal of the Conference for the purpose of aiding the finances of the New States about to be established; (4) that in order to make some basis of credit immediately available an appropriate proportion of the German obligations representing the sum to be paid by her should be guaranteed by all parties to the Treaty; and (5) that the ex-enemy Powers should also be allowed, with a view to their economic restoration, to issue a moderate amount of bonds carrying a similar guarantee. Such proposals involved an appeal to the generosity of the United States. But that was inevitable; and, in view of her far less financial sacrifices, it was an appeal which could fairly have been made to her. Such proposals would have been practicable. There is nothing in them quixotic or Utopian. And they would have opened up for Europe some prospect of financial stability and reconstruction. The further elaboration of these ideas, however, must be left to Chapter VII., and we must return to Paris. I have described the entanglements which Mr. Lloyd George took with him. The position of the Finance Ministers of the other Allies was even worse. We in Great Britain had not based our financial arrangements on any expectations of an indemnity. Receipts from such a source would have been more or less in the nature of a windfall; and, in spite of subsequent developments, there was an expectation at that time of balancing our budget by normal methods. But this was not the case with France or Italy. Their peace budgets made no pretense of balancing and had no prospects of doing so, without some far-reaching revision of the existing policy. Indeed, the position was and remains nearly hopeless. These countries were heading for national bankruptcy. This fact could only be concealed by holding out the expectation of vast receipts from the enemy. As soon as it was admitted that it was in fact impossible to make Germany pay the expenses of both sides, and that the unloading of their liabilities upon the enemy was not practicable, the position of the Ministers of Finance of France and Italy became untenable. Thus a scientific consideration of Germany s capacity to pay was from the outset out of court. The expectations which the exigencies of politics had made it necessary to raise were so very remote from the truth that a slight distortion of figures was no use, and it was necessary to ignore the facts entirely. The resulting unveracity was fundamental. On a basis of so much falsehood it became impossible to erect any constructive financial policy which was workable. For this reason amongst others, a magnanimous financial policy was essential. The financial position of France and Italy was so bad that it was impossible to make them listen to reason on the subject of the German Indemnity, unless one could at the same time point out to them some alternative mode of escape from their troubles.[103] The representatives of the United States were greatly at fault, in my judgment, for having no constructive proposals whatever to offer to a suffering and distracted Europe. It is worth while to point out in passing a further element in the situation, namely, the opposition which existed between the "crushing" policy of M. Clemenceau and the financial necessities of M. Klotz. Clemenceau s aim was to weaken and destroy Germany in every possible way, and I fancy that he was always a little contemptuous about the Indemnity; he had no intention of leaving Germany in a position to practise a vast commercial activity. But he did not trouble his head to understand either the indemnity or poor M. Klotz s overwhelming financial difficulties. If it amused the financiers to put into the Treaty some very large demands, well there was no harm in that; but the satisfaction of these demands must not be allowed to interfere with the essential requirements of a Carthaginian Peace. The combination of the "real" policy of M. Clemenceau on unreal issues, with M. Klotz s policy of pretense on what were very real issues indeed, introduced into the Treaty a whole set of incompatible provisions, over and above the inherent impracticabilities of the Reparation proposals. I cannot here describe the endless controversy and intrigue between the Allies themselves, which at last after some months culminated in the presentation to Germany of the Reparation Chapter in its final form. There can have been few negotiations in history so contorted, so miserable, so utterly unsatisfactory to all parties. I doubt if any one who took much part in that debate can look back on it without shame. I must be content with an analysis of the elements of the final compromise which is known to all the world. The main point to be settled was, of course, that of the items for which Germany could fairly be asked to make payment. Mr. Lloyd George s election pledge to the effect that the Allies were entitled to demand from Germany the entire costs of the war was from the outset clearly untenable; or rather, to put it more impartially, it was clear that to persuade the President of the conformity of this demand with our pro-Armistice engagements was beyond the powers of the most plausible. The actual compromise finally reached is to be read as follows in the paragraphs of the Treaty as it has been published to the world. Article 231 reads "The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies." This is a well and carefully drafted Article; for the President could read it as statement of admission on Germany s part of moral responsibility for bringing about the war, while the Prime Minister could explain it as an admission of financial liability for the general costs of the war. Article 232 continues "The Allied and Associated Governments recognize that the resources of Germany are not adequate, after taking into account permanent diminutions of such resources which will result from other provisions of the present Treaty, to make complete reparation for all such loss and damage." The President could comfort himself that this was no more than a statement of undoubted fact, and that to recognize that Germany cannot pay a certain claim does not imply that she is liable to pay the claim; but the Prime Minister could point out that in the context it emphasizes to the reader the assumption of Germany s theoretic liability asserted in the preceding Article. Article 232 proceeds "The Allied and Associated Governments, however, require, and Germany undertakes, that she will make compensation for all damage done to the civilian population of the Allied and Associated Powers and to their property during the period of the belligerency of each as an Allied or Associated Power against Germany by such aggression by land, by sea, and from the air, and in general all damage as defined in Annex I. hereto."[104] The words italicized being practically a quotation from the pre-Armistice conditions, satisfied the scruples of the President, while the addition of the words "and in general all damage as defined in Annex I. hereto" gave the Prime Minister a chance in Annex I. So far, however, all this is only a matter of words, of virtuosity in draftsmanship, which does no one any harm, and which probably seemed much more important at the time than it ever will again between now and Judgment Day. For substance we must turn to Annex I. A great part of Annex I. is in strict conformity with the pre-Armistice conditions, or, at any rate, does not strain them beyond what is fairly arguable. Paragraph 1 claims damage done for injury to the persons of civilians, or, in the case of death, to their dependents, as a direct consequence of acts of war; Paragraph 2, for acts of cruelty, violence, or maltreatment on the part of the enemy towards civilian victims; Paragraph 3, for enemy acts injurious to health or capacity to work or to honor towards civilians in occupied or invaded territory; Paragraph 8, for forced labor exacted by the enemy from civilians; Paragraph 9, for damage done to property "with the exception of naval and military works or materials" as a direct consequence of hostilities; and Paragraph 10, for fines and levies imposed by the enemy upon the civilian population. All these demands are just and in conformity with the Allies rights. Paragraph 4, which claims for "damage caused by any kind of maltreatment of prisoners of war," is more doubtful on the strict letter, but may be justifiable under the Hague Convention and involves a very small sum. In Paragraphs 5, 6, and 7, however, an issue of immensely greater significance is involved. These paragraphs assert a claim for the amount of the Separation and similar Allowances granted during the war by the Allied Governments to the families of mobilized persons, and for the amount of the pensions and compensations in respect of the injury or death of combatants payable by these Governments now and hereafter. Financially this adds to the Bill, as we shall see below, a very large amount, indeed about twice as much again as all the other claims added together. The reader will readily apprehend what a plausible case can be made out for the inclusion of these items of damage, if only on sentimental grounds. It can be pointed out, first of all, that from the point of view of general fairness it is monstrous that a woman whose house is destroyed should be entitled to claim from the enemy whilst a woman whose husband is killed on the field of battle should not be so entitled; or that a farmer deprived of his farm should claim but that a woman deprived of the earning power of her husband should not claim. In fact the case for including Pensions and Separation Allowances largely depends on exploiting the rather arbitrary character of the criterion laid down in the pre-Armistice conditions. Of all the losses caused by war some bear more heavily on individuals and some are more evenly distributed over the community as a whole; but by means of compensations granted by the Government many of the former are in fact converted into the latter. The most logical criterion for a limited claim, falling short of the entire costs of the war, would have been in respect of enemy acts contrary to International engagements or the recognized practices of warfare. But this also would have been very difficult to apply and unduly unfavorable to French interests as compared with Belgium (whose neutrality Germany had guaranteed) and Great Britain (the chief sufferer from illicit acts of submarines). In any case the appeals to sentiment and fairness outlined above are hollow; for it makes no difference to the recipient of a separation allowance or a pension whether the State which pays them receives compensation on this or on another head, and a recovery by the State out of indemnity receipts is just as much in relief of the general taxpayer as a contribution towards the general costs of the war would have been. But the main consideration is that it was too late to consider whether the pre-Armistice conditions were perfectly judicious and logical or to amend them; the only question at issue was whether these conditions were not in fact limited to such classes of direct damage to civilians and their property as are set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10 of Annex I. If words have any meaning, or engagements any force, we had no more right to claim for those war expenses of the State, which arose out of Pensions and Separation Allowances, than for any other of the general costs of the war. And who is prepared to argue in detail that we were entitled to demand the latter? What had really happened was a compromise between the Prime Minister s pledge to the British electorate to claim the entire costs of the war and the pledge to the contrary which the Allies had given to Germany at the Armistice. The Prime Minister could claim that although he had not secured the entire costs of the war, he had nevertheless secured an important contribution towards them, that he had always qualified his promises by the limiting condition of Germany s capacity to pay, and that the bill as now presented more than exhausted this capacity as estimated by the more sober authorities. The President, on the other hand, had secured a formula, which was not too obvious a breach of faith, and had avoided a quarrel with his Associates on an issue where the appeals to sentiment and passion would all have been against him, in the event of its being made a matter of open popular controversy. In view of the Prime Minister s election pledges, the President could hardly hope to get him to abandon them in their entirety without a struggle in public; and the cry of pensions would have had an overwhelming popular appeal in all countries. Once more the Prime Minister had shown himself a political tactician of a high order. A further point of great difficulty may be readily perceived between the lines of the Treaty It fixes no definite sum as representing Germany s liability. This feature has been the subject of very general criticism,—that it is equally inconvenient to Germany and to the Allies themselves that she should not know what she has to pay or they what they are to receive. The method, apparently contemplated by the Treaty, of arriving at the final result over a period of many months by an addition of hundreds of thousands of individual claims for damage to land, farm buildings, and chickens, is evidently impracticable; and the reasonable course would have been for both parties to compound for a round sum without examination of details. If this round sum had been named in the Treaty, the settlement would have been placed on a more business-like basis. But this was impossible for two reasons. Two different kinds of false statements had been widely promulgated, one as to Germany s capacity to pay, the other as to the amount of the Allies just claims in respect of the devastated areas. The fixing of either of these figures presented a dilemma. A figure for Germany s prospective capacity to pay, not too much in excess of the estimates of most candid and well-informed authorities, would have fallen hopelessly far short of popular expectations both in England and in France. On the other hand, a definitive figure for damage done which would not disastrously disappoint the expectations which had been raised in France and Belgium might have been incapable of substantiation under challenge,[105] and open to damaging criticism on the part of the Germans, who were believed to have been prudent enough to accumulate considerable evidence as to the extent of their own misdoings. By far the safest course for the politicians was, therefore, to mention no figure at all; and from this necessity a great deal of the complication of the Reparation Chapter essentially springs. The reader may be interested, however, to have my estimate of the claim which can in fact be substantiated under Annex I. of the Reparation Chapter. In the first section of this chapter I have already guessed the claims other than those for Pensions and Separation Allowances at $15,000,000,000 (to take the extreme upper limit of my estimate). The claim for Pensions and Separation Allowances under Annex I. is not to be based on the actual cost of these compensations to the Governments concerned, but is to be a computed figure calculated on the basis of the scales in force in France at the date of the Treaty s coming into operation. This method avoids the invidious course of valuing an American or a British life at a higher figure than a French or an Italian. The French rate for Pensions and Allowances is at an intermediate rate, not so high as the American or British, but above the Italian, the Belgian, or the Serbian. The only data required for the calculation are the actual French rates and the numbers of men mobilized and of the casualties in each class of the various Allied Armies. None of these figures are available in detail, but enough is known of the general level of allowances, of the numbers involved, and of the casualties suffered to allow of an estimate which may not be very wide of the mark. My guess as to the amount to be added in respect of Pensions and Allowances is as follows British Empire $7,000,000,000[106] France 12,000,000,000[106] Italy 2,500,000,000 Others (Including United States) 3,500,000,000 Total $25,000,000,000 I feel much more confidence in the approximate accuracy of the total figure[107] than in its division between the different claimants. The reader will observe that in any case the addition of Pensions and Allowances enormously increases the aggregate claim, raising it indeed by nearly double. Adding this figure to the estimate under other heads, we have a total claim against Germany of $40,000,000,000.[108] I believe that this figure is fully high enough, and that the actual result may fall somewhat short of it.[109] In the next section of this chapter the relation of this figure to Germany s capacity to pay will be examined. It is only necessary here to remind the reader of certain other particulars of the Treaty which speak for themselves 1. Out of the total amount of the claim, whatever it eventually turns out to be, a sum of $5,000,000,000 must be paid before May 1, 1921. The possibility of this will be discussed below. But the Treaty itself provides certain abatements. In the first place, this sum is to include the expenses of the Armies of Occupation since the Armistice (a large charge of the order of magnitude of $1,000,000,000 which under another Article of the Treaty—No. 249—is laid upon Germany).[110] But further, "such supplies of food and raw materials as may be judged by the Governments of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers to be essential to enable Germany to meet her obligations for Reparation may also, with the approval of the said Governments, be paid for out of the above sum."[111] This is a qualification of high importance. The clause, as it is drafted, allows the Finance Ministers of the Allied countries to hold out to their electorates the hope of substantial payments at an early date, while at the same time it gives to the Reparation Commission a discretion, which the force of facts will compel them to exercise, to give back to Germany what is required for the maintenance of her economic existence. This discretionary power renders the demand for an immediate payment of $5,000,000,000 less injurious than it would otherwise be, but nevertheless it does not render it innocuous. In the first place, my conclusions in the next section of this chapter indicate that this sum cannot be found within the period indicated, even if a large proportion is in practice returned to Germany for the purpose of enabling her to pay for imports. In the second place, the Reparation Commission can only exercise its discretionary power effectively by taking charge of the entire foreign trade of Germany, together with the foreign exchange arising out of it, which will be quite beyond the capacity of any such body. If the Reparation Commission makes any serious attempt to administer the collection of this sum of $5,000,000,000 and to authorize the return to Germany of a part it, the trade of Central Europe will be strangled by bureaucratic regulation in its most inefficient form. 2. In addition to the early payment in cash or kind of a sum of $5,000,000,000, Germany is required to deliver bearer bonds to a further amount of $10,000,000,000, or, in the event of the payments in cash or kind before May 1, 1921, available for Reparation, falling short of $5,000,000,000 by reason of the permitted deductions, to such further amount as shall bring the total payments by Germany in cash, kind, and bearer bonds up to May 1, 1921, to a figure of $15,000,000,000 altogether.[112] These bearer bonds carry interest at 2-1/2 per cent per annum from 1921 to 1925, and at 5 per cent plus 1 per cent for amortization thereafter. Assuming, therefore, that Germany is not able to provide any appreciable surplus towards Reparation before 1921, she will have to find a sum of $375,000,000 annually from 1921 to 1925, and $900,000,000 annually thereafter.[113] 3. As soon as the Reparation Commission is satisfied that Germany can do better than this, 5 per cent bearer bonds are to be issued for a further $10,000,000,000, the rate of amortization being determined by the Commission hereafter. This would bring the annual payment to $1,400,000,000 without allowing anything for the discharge of the capital of the last $10,000,000,000. 4. Germany s liability, however, is not limited to $25,000,000,000, and the Reparation Commission is to demand further instalments of bearer bonds until the total enemy liability under Annex I. has been provided for. On the basis of my estimate of $40,000,000,000 for the total liability, which is more likely to be criticized as being too low than as being too high, the amount of this balance will be $15,000,000,000. Assuming interest at 5 per cent, this will raise the annual payment to $2,150,000,000 without allowance for amortization. 5. But even this is not all. There is a further provision of devastating significance. Bonds representing payments in excess of $15,000,000,000 are not to be issued until the Commission is satisfied that Germany can meet the interest on them. But this does not mean that interest is remitted in the meantime. As from May 1, 1921, interest is to be debited to Germany on such part of her outstanding debt as has not been covered by payment in cash or kind or by the issue of bonds as above,[114] and "the rate of interest shall be 5 per cent unless the Commission shall determine at some future time that circumstances justify a variation of this rate." That is to say, the capital sum of indebtedness is rolling up all the time at compound interest. The effect of this provision towards increasing the burden is, on the assumption that Germany cannot pay very large sums at first, enormous. At 5 per cent compound interest a capital sum doubles itself in fifteen years. On the assumption that Germany cannot pay more than $750,000,000 annually until 1936 (i.e. 5 per cent interest on $15,000,000,000) the $25,000,000,000 on which interest is deferred will have risen to $50,000,000,000, carrying an annual interest charge of $2,500,000,000. That is to say, even if Germany pays $750,000,000 annually up to 1936, she will nevertheless owe us at that date more than half as much again as she does now ($65,000,000,000 as compared with $40,000,000,000). From 1936 onwards she will have to pay to us $3,250,000,000 annually in order to keep pace with the interest alone. At the end of any year in which she pays less than this sum she will owe more than she did at the beginning of it. And if she is to discharge the capital sum in thirty years from 1930, i.e. in forty-eight years from the Armistice, she must pay an additional $650,000,000 annually, making $3,900,000,000 in all.[115] It is, in my judgment, as certain as anything can be, for reasons which I will elaborate in a moment, that Germany cannot pay anything approaching this sum. Until the Treaty is altered, therefore, Germany has in effect engaged herself to hand over to the Allies the whole of her surplus production in perpetuity. 6. This is not less the case because the Reparation Commission has been given discretionary powers to vary the rate of interest, and to postpone and even to cancel the capital indebtedness. In the first place, some of these powers can only be exercised if the Commission or the Governments represented on it are unanimous.[116] But also, which is perhaps more important, it will be the duty of the Reparation Commission, until there has been a unanimous and far-reaching change of the policy which the Treaty represents, to extract from Germany year after year the maximum sum obtainable. There is a great difference between fixing a definite sum, which though large is within Germany s capacity to pay and yet to retain a little for herself, and fixing a sum far beyond her capacity, which is then to be reduced at the discretion of a foreign Commission acting with the object of obtaining each year the maximum which the circumstances of that year permit. The first still leaves her with some slight incentive for enterprise, energy, and hope. The latter skins her alive year by year in perpetuity, and however skilfully and discreetly the operation is performed, with whatever regard for not killing the patient in the process, it would represent a policy which, if it were really entertained and deliberately practised, the judgment of men would soon pronounce to be one of the most outrageous acts of a cruel victor in civilized history. There are other functions and powers of high significance which the Treaty accords to the Reparation Commission. But these will be most conveniently dealt with in a separate section.

◆Etoile01「コペリア」 ファイトスタイル： マーシャルアーツ カテゴリ／タイプ：総合型バランスタイプ ◎キャラクター設定 パンチアップシティを支配するサイバー企業"迦楼羅"の制作した、サイバネマリオネット試作機。 タフネスよりもコントロールに重点を置いた、高速機動・高感知能力実験体である。 "迦楼羅"が制作した全知機械試作機「アガステア」の警護を任じられたが、状況が混迷し護衛対象ごと葬られそうになった。 全知機械と人形に芽生えた「死にたくない」という意識……そこに現れたのは"迦楼羅"の裏切り者、蘇芳秋日子であった。 生存を許されぬ状況に追い詰められた彼女は、蘇芳の元に身を寄せ、古流の技術を学ぶ……。 その中で見えてきたものとは……。 ◎性能解説 相変わらずのリーチキャラだが、大きく性能は変化している。 Ver2.0以降でリーチキャラは辛くなったと言われるが、むしろ牽制のリターンは上がっている。 きっちり技を振り、「後ろに下がる」のではなく「相手を下がらせる」立ち回りを徹底しよう。 どうしようもなく追い込まれたら、蘇芳直伝の対空飛び蹴り「紫（623K）」の出番だ。 通常ヒット火力が高く、ガード・ヒットを問わず距離が離れ、相打ち・カウンターからコンボに入れる6フレ無敵技。 使わずにはいられないな！ 各種キャンセルが非常にリスキー、かつ高コストになったので、脳死した固めはすぐにガス欠する。 丁寧に立ちまわるタイミングと、圧力をかけて一気にライフを奪うタイミングを見極め、取れる所で取るべきだ。 低空「ジゼル」（996463214K）が安定して出せるかどうかが、崩しの成功率に直結するので要練習。 相手を赤ゲージにまで追い込んだら、後はコンボに組み込める一撃即死技「The Dying Swan」の出番だ。 今日も今日とて、「微妙に立ち回りつつバステまみれにする大臣」として、ゲーセンで嫌われろ！ （文責：練馬のネコミミ）
