紡がれた言葉を胸に抱く人

[rikoren]

【由】　さがのさん、どこに居るのかなァ………
Yue: I wonder where Sagano-san could be...



【由】　あんな怪しい外見だから、結構目立つ気がするんだけどなァ………　でも、真っ黒いから、案外見つけにくかったりして………　こう、ゴミ袋とかに紛れちゃったりして。　ウーン、困ったなァ
Yue: He looked so suspicious, I was sure he'd stand out like a sore thumb...But it was dark then, he's surprisingly hard to find now...I couldn't tell him apart from a trash bag, at this rate. Hmm, this is a problem.



【ヒトビト】　うーん………なんじゃこら………
Human: Hmm...the hell's this...



【ヒトビト】　なんでこういう展開になんだよコラ………　ゼンゼン意味わかんねー………
Human: Why'd there hafta be this kinda development...I don't get it at all...

【由】　呼んでみようかなァ、さがのさーん、って
Yue: I wonder if I should try calling him. Sagano-saaann--

【ヒトビト】　相変わらずこの何とも言えない読後感が癖になるぜ………　わけわかんないけど
Human: Havin' all these unspeakable feelin's about a book might as well be a habit by now...Don't even get what it's about.

【由】　………ン？
Yue: ...Hm?



【ヒトビト】　うおっ！
Human: Uwoah!

【由】　うわッ………？
Yue: Uwah...?



【ヒトビト】　ああ、ゴメンゴメン、よそ見してたよ。　大丈夫だったかい？
Human: Aah, sorry 'bout that, I wasn't watchin' where I was goin'. You alright?



【由】　いえ、こちらこそ。　あの、何か落ちましたよ。………本………？
Yue: No, I should be asking you that. Um, you dropped something....A book...?

【ヒトビト】　うん、悪いね、こっちがぶつかったのに拾って貰っちゃって
Human: Yeah, sorry, guess I must've dropped it when I bumped into you.



【由】　すごい文字ばっかりの本ですね
Yue: Wow, it's nothing but words.

【ヒトビト】　あー、ウン。　椿夜市の新刊、知らない？　今話題の
Human: Aah, yeah. It's Tsubaki Yaichi's new book, you heard of him? He's all the rage lately.

【由】　つばきやいち………？
Yue: Tsubaki Yaichi...?

【ヒトビト】　やっぱ知らないか。　話題って言っても、ホントにごく一部でだけだし。　超マイナー作家だもんなァ。　毎回、暗くて長くて鬱な話の割にどうしようもない感じが癖になるって評判の、そんな作家なんだけどね
Human: 'course you haven't. He's not so much popular as he's got a cult following. A real minor author. He's famous for always writing long, dark, depressing books that give you the feeling there's nothin' you can do about anything, that kinda author.



【由】　はぁ
Yue: Huh.

【ヒトビト】　毎回、もう買うもんかって思うんだけど、新刊出るとつい気になって買っちゃうんだよね………　今回こそ救われるかもとか思って
Human: Every time, I think to myself I won't buy anymore, but when a new book comes out I end up buyin' it anyway...Thinkin' maybe this time the main character'll be saved.



【由】　救われなかったんですか？
Yue: Was he saved?

【ヒトビト】　相変わらずで、なんか逆に安心しちゃったよ………　コイツ変わんねーなって………
Human: Same as ever, somethin' ruined his peace of mind...This guy never changes...

【由】　よくわからないけど、すごい本なんですね
Yue: I don't really get it, but it sounds like an amazing book.

【ヒトビト】　ま、一言で言えば「マニア向け」ってやつだね。　それも「マニアの中のマニア向け」？
Human: Well, if I had to sum it up, it's intended for enthusiasts. Intended for paticularly enthusiastic enthusiasts?

【由】　でも、おにーさんは、この人の本好きなんですね
Yue: But you really like this person's books, don't you, mister.

【ヒトビト】　…………………好きなのかなあ………？　それはそれでなんか腑に落ちないんだけど………　ま、いいか。　オレが買ってあげないと、次出ないかもしれないしさ。　とりあえず、興味があったら読んでみなよって言っておくよ。　オススメはしないけどね。　じゃあね
Human: .......Do I like them...? Not sure I'm satisfied if that's the case...Ah, whatever. If I don't buy it, there might not be a next one. As they say, if you're curious you might as well read it. I wouldn't recommend it though. Seeya.

【由】　はぁ
Yue: Right...



【由】　………つばきやいちって言ってたなァ。………つばき………？？？
Yue: ..."Tsubaki Yaichi" though....Tsubaki...???
