宵の深翳に揺れるもの

[rikoren]

【ミコト】　…………………「影」が、揺れる………
Mikoto: .......The "shadows" are shaking...



【ミコト】　…………………まるで、眠りから目覚めるかのようじゃのう
Mikoto: .......Almost as if they've awoken from their sleep.



【ミコト】　…………………それで、どうだ？　狭塔
Mikoto: .......So, how is it? Sato.



【狭塔】　はい。　あの付近に、異変は今のところないようです。　先の祭りで、例年通り鎮魂の儀が行われていたようですが、それが影響しているのかどうかはまだ不明です
Sato: Yes. It seems there have been no unusual phenomenon in that vicinity, at present. The annual pacification ceremony seems to have taken place at the festival as scheduled, but the results of that are yet to be determined.



【ミコト】　………由の様子はどうじゃ？
Mikoto: ...How is Yue doing?

【狭塔】　些か弱ってはいるようですが………彼が脆弱なのは元よりですからな。　初めて街へ下りた事で困憊しているだけなのか、そうでないのかは、今のところは
Sato: He seems to be a little weak...but he's always been frail. He could just be feeling fatigued from his first visit to town; I am not sure yet if there may be another reason for it.



【ミコト】　…………………そうか
Mikoto: .......I see.

【狭塔】　…………………『あの方』が戻られるおつもりなら、それはそれで良いと思いますがな
Sato: .......If "he" plans on returning, I believe that may be a good thing.



Mikoto: ...Sato.

【狭塔】　それよりも、最近悪食が増加の一途を辿っている事の方が私は気がかりなので。　兎達だけでは、掃除が追い付かないのです
Sato: Leaving that aside, I'm worried about how the number of Akujiki has been increasing recently. I cannot overtake them in my sweeping, with just the rabbits.



Mikoto: .......

Sato: .......

【ミコト】　………そんな事は、わしも分かっている
Mikoto: ...I've noticed that, as well.

Sato: .......



【ミコト】　だが、もし止めたら………　また、我らはこの地の片隅で生きなければならなくなる。　それを解っていて、止める事をあの子が望むとは思えん
Mikoto: However, if we were to stop...We could be forced to live in the corners of the land once again. I believe that child wishes to stop us, knowing this.

Sato: .......



【狭塔】　それにしても、食事の支度をさせると決めた途端にこの異変とは。　少々、判断を早まりましたかな
Sato: Nevertheless, for this accident to happen just as we were preparing the meal. It's a little as if judgement is looming closer.



【ミコト】　………ん？
Mikoto: ...Hm?



【狭塔】　もし今、彼に何かあれば、元も子もない
Sato: If something were to happen to him now, everything would be lost.



【ミコト】　…………………そんな事はなかろう
Mikoto: .......That may not be the case.



【ミコト】　既に、彼らは出会ってしまったのだから。　それが期だったという事。………我々に出来るのは、見守る事だけじゃ
Mikoto: Those boys have already met, after all. You could say the deciding moment has passed. ...All we can do now, is to watch over them.

【狭塔】　…………………そうですな
Sato: .......You're right.



【ミコト】　由は、今どうしている？
Mikoto: How is Yue doing, now?

【狭塔】　どうも、熱を出したようで。　黒狐が付き添っています
Sato: Sadly, it seems he's caught a fever. Kurogitsune is attending to him.

【ミコト】　…………………そうか
Mikoto: .......I see.

【狭塔】　彼一人に負担をかけすぎなのですから、当然ですが。…………………見舞いに行かれますか？
Sato: It's only natural, with how taxing this is for him on his own. .......Would you like to look in on him?

Mikoto: .......



【ミコト】　………いい
Mikoto: ...It's alright.
