花陰に隠れて交わすはむかしごと

[rikoren]

【ミコト】　…………………ふふ、どうした、狭塔
Mikoto: .......Fufu, what's the matter, Sato?



【狭塔】　………いえ………
Sato: ...It's nothing...

【ミコト】　何か、落ち着かぬようだな
Mikoto: You seem somewhat discomposed.

Sato: .......

【ミコト】　由達は今日も行ったか
Mikoto: Have they gone out again today?

【狭塔】　はい。　例の少年達とは、上手くやっているようです
Sato: Yes. It seems they are smoothly taking in the aforementioned boys.

【ミコト】　そうか。　それは楽しみじゃのう。　いつ由はここに連れてきてくれるのか
Mikoto: I see. That must be fun. I wonder when Yue will bring them here.

【狭塔】　…………………そう、遠くはないと思いますぞ
Sato: .......I believe it won't be long now.

【ミコト】　…………………そうじゃな。　元々、あのような生まれで、身体の弱い子どもじゃ。　そろそろ「食事」をしなければ、永くは保たない
Mikoto: .......That's right. Since birth, he's always been a weak child. If he doesn't complete the Meal soon, he won't last much longer.

【狭塔】　…………………どちらを選ぶのかは、彼自身に委ねるのですか？
Sato: .......Are you entrusting the matter of choosing to him?

【ミコト】　わしに選ぶ権利はない。　由が、好きなようにすればいい
Mikoto: I do not have the right to choose. In this case, Yue can do as he likes.

Sato: .......

【ミコト】　ふふ。　狭塔。　言いたい事があるなら、言うてみよ。　おぬしが黙ると、気持ちが悪い
Mikoto: Fufu. Sato. If you have something you'd like to say, then say it. It disturbs me to see you so silent.

【狭塔】　………ミコト様は、どう考えておられます
Sato: ...Mikoto-sama, what are your thoughts?

【ミコト】　うん？
Mikoto: Hm?

【狭塔】　この空環の地の現状を。　シン様が、身を捧げて護るこの大地を………
Sato: On the current condition of Utsuwa's land. The great land which Shin-sama sacrificed his body to protect...

【ミコト】　…………………シンが護るこの地を、わしが守る。　あの子が眠ったときに、そう言ったであろう？　それは、今も変わらぬ
Mikoto: .......I will protect the land which Shin defended. I said as much when he was sleeping, did I not? That has not changed, even now.

【狭塔】　…………………そう仰ると思ったから、黙っていたのです
Sato: .......I thought you would say as much, hence my silence.

【ミコト】　つまらぬ事を聞くな。………悪食も………
Mikoto: Don't ask such silly things. ...The akujiki too...

【狭塔】　………はい？
Sato: ...Yes?

【ミコト】　悪食も、元を辿れば弟が護りたかった愛すべき子ども達じゃ。………それならば、この結果も道理というもの
Mikoto: The akujiki too were beloved children under my younger brother's care, once. ...That fact may also have contributed to this situation.

Sato: .....................



【ミコト】　それより狭塔、時間があるのならこんなつまらぬ話ではなく、わしと遊ぼうではないか
Mikoto: Leaving that aside, Sato, if you have time then could you stop this boring chatter and play with me?

Sato: .......

【ミコト】　………ん？　いやか？
Mikoto: ...Hm? Is that a no?

【狭塔】　…………………いいえ。　また、臍を曲げてここを抜け出されては、たまりませぬ
Sato: .......It isn't. I couldn't bear to have you angrily sneaking out again.



【ミコト】　………ふふふ、そうか？　それでは、何をしようかのう？
Mikoto: ...Fufufu, really now? Well then, what shall we play?

【狭塔】　…………………全く、貴方という方は………
Sato: .......Honestly, the way you act...
