＜夢＞ Dreams

僧: Got through this one, too. One or two suggestions and some minor edits, as usual. [僧: Did a second-over on this one, very little that was missed.]

天: Think it's ok then.

Komi: Good afternoon again. Translation please: 突然、ナップが胸を押さえて苦しみ始める. Also, concerning the "俺は、ベッドの側にある丸薬を２粒取り出して、ナップに渡す. " part, does it really say as "''Two pills from besides Napp's bed." ? ''Because I think more instinctively  someone who read that would just assume that the medicine would be on/in a bedside stand. Along with that, was there really a mention to the pills being in a bottle? Just ask since it's not like this is chemical pharmaceuticals, but it's actually a home made medicine with herbs... wonder if they'd bother keeping those "pills" in a bottle.

天: "Suddenly Napp starts holding his chest in pain." would be the first sentence. The second sentence says literally "I take two pills form beside Napp's bed and give them to him." that's all. But as I wrote, I'd rather translated it as "I take two pills from the bottle on the table and hand them to Napp." or something similar, if you think it's weird you can also scrap the bottle and just mention "the table beside his bed", but I think the literal translation would leave the reader a little puzzeled. And also thanks for paying so much attention, seems like a couple of lines slipped through my fingers sadly. -.-"

Komi: Thank you for the missing line. As to the rest, I'll go without the bottle (It just isn't there) but I'll keep the table then. Personally I didn't felt confused... maybe because I have a bedside table and it's the first thing I think off when someone tells me "by the bed side". XD

味: I'm with Komi on this one ^^; Also got my input in there as well |3

Dreams

【リック】「お前の力が必要なんだよ」

【ナップ】「そんなこと言われても困るよ」

【リック】「俺の計算だと、どうしてもうまく　行かないんだ. 頼むよ. お前ならどうにかできる　はずなんだ」

【ナップ】「そう言われても、ボクは父さんの　研究なんて興味ないよ」

Rick: "Please, I need your help in this!"

Napp: "Even if you beg me, I won't change my mind."

Rick: "But when I do these equations, they just won't turn out right. Please brother. I'm sure you can solve them somehow."

Napp: "Even if I could, I told you already, I'm not interested in father's studies!"

ナップが不機嫌そうな顔で俺の方を睨んでいる.

【リック】「研究書と機体のデータが微妙に　違うから出力計算の値が変わって　くるんだ. それにライズストームのデータも　まだまだ不足してるし・・・」

【ナップ】「知らないよ、そんなこと」

Napp glares over at me, he seems to be in a bad mood.

Rick: "The values in the journal and the actual measures of the frame won't match completely, making it impossible to calculate the plane's capacity. Besides, the data concerning the Stormrise are still incomplete too..."

Napp: "Why should I care!"

【リック】「後少しで、父さんの飛行機が完成するんだ. 頼むよ. 協力して欲しいんだ」

【ナップ】「もう、知らないって言ってるじゃないか」

【リック】「じゃ、設計図の写しを置いておく　からさ、暇なときにでも・・・」

ナップのベッドの横にある机の上に研究書から持ってきた設計図の写しを置く.

Rick: "Father's airplane is almost complete. Please, brother. Let's do this together."

Napp: "Geez! I told you, I don't care, didn't I?"

Rick: "Alright, then I will just leave this copy of the blueprints here and should you have some free time, then..."

I place the blueprint's copy from the journal on the table beside Napp's bed.

【ナップ】「もう、いい加減にしてよ. ボクは・・・うっ、うう・・・、くっ」

突然、ナップが胸を押さえて苦しみ始める.

【リック】「お、おいっ！　ナップっ！」

【ナップ】「大丈夫・・・. 薬を・・・」

Napp: "Geez, will you give it up already. I to-... *cough* *cough* ooh... *cough*" ''[僧: Changed some of the "Uhh"s to *cough*s. Translated soundwords just don't quite do justice to a sudden coughing fit.] [天: Alright, sounds good to me.]''

Suddenly Napp starts holding his chest in pain.

Rick: "H-, Hey-! Napp!"

Napp: "I'm ok.... *cough* the medicine..."

俺は、ベッドの側にある丸薬を２粒取り出して、ナップに渡す.

震える手で薬を受け取り、ごくりとそれを飲み込む.

【ナップ】「・・・・・・・・・. ・・・・・・・・・ふぅ」

【リック】「ナップ、大丈夫か？」

I take two pills from beside Napp's bed hand them to him.'' [天: I'm just guessing here. It reads "Two pills from besides Napp's bed." But I don't think there will be a pile of pills on the floor next to the bed. :S]''

With shaking hands Napp grabs the pills and gulps them down.

Napp: ".......... .........phew."

Rick: "Napp, are you alright?"

【ナップ】「うん・・・、つい興奮しちゃった」

ナップはそう言って、まるで他人事の様に笑っていた. ナップを興奮させたとすれば、それは俺だ.

【リック】「すまない、ナップ」

Napp: "Uh huh..., I just got a little upset."

Napp laughs, like it was all somebody else's problem. But the one that made him have this fit, was me.

Rick: "I'm sorry, Napp."

最近、ナップはよく発作を起こす気がする. 軽いから特に大事にはならないけれど、興奮しているから、というよりも単純にその頻度が高くなってる気がする.

ナップが病気にかかった頃から、何度もこの発作に立ち会ったことがあるけれど未だになれることができない.

【ナップ】「心配しなくていいよ. 今の程度の発作なら放っておいても　おさまるし」

ナップは何事もなかったかのようにはははと笑った.

これ以上、興奮させてはいけないと思って、その日は彼の部屋を出た.

It seems like Napp is having more attacks lately. They are all light, so it's nothing serious, but since getting upset is enough to trigger one, it seems to happen much faster now.

[味: More frequently maybe..?]

Ever since Napp got this illness I have seen him suffer countless fits, but I guess will never get used to it.

Napp: "No need to worry. A weak fit like this will wear off on its own."

Napp laughs like nothing happened.

Thinking I have upset him enough for one day, I leave his room.

【リック】「あ、ありがとう」

【ラン】「どういたしまして」

リビングの椅子に座ると、ランがシナモンミルクを入れてくれた.

そして、自分の所にも同じシナモンミルクの入ったカップを置いて腰を下ろした.

Rick: "Ah, thank you."

Ran: "There you go."

Ran sits at the table in the living room and pours me a cup of cinnamon milk.

I take the cup from her and sit down too.

【ラン】「ねぇ、リック. 聞いていい？」

【リック】「え？　なにを？」

【ラン】「立ち聞きしたみたいで、悪いんだけど、　さっきナップの部屋で言ってた　『飛行機』とか『ライズストーム』って　なんのこと？」

【リック】「あ、聞いてたのか・・・」

Ran: "Say, Rick. Can I ask you something?"

Rick: "Eh? What is it?"

Ran: "I know eavesdropping is bad, but I happened to walk by Napps room and... "Airplane" and "Stormrise", what are those things?

Rick: "Ah, so you heard us..."

うーん、マズイこと聞かれちゃったかな. いちおう、飛行機のこととか、外世界のこととか法律で禁じられてる訳だし.

【ラン】「少し、聞きたいな」

【リック】「や、でも、飛行機って、ほら」

【ラン】「私は、別に気にしないわ. そんな神さまに熱心じゃないし」

ランは首を軽く傾けて微笑んだ.

Hmm, this is bad. All in all, airplanes and the outside world are pretty much taboo subjects.

Ran: "I'd like to hear more about it. Just a little."

Rick: "Ah, but, airplanes, you see"

Ran: "Don't worry. I'm not really that religious."

Ran tilts her head to the side and smiles.

【リック】「うん、じゃあ、少しだけ. ランは、大陸の外を流れている雲の　向こうに何があるか考えたことが　あるかい？」

ランはしばらく考えるように口をとんがらせていたけれど、結局首を横を振った.

Rick: "Ok, well then, just a little. Ran, did you ever wonder if there is something beyond the clouds that lie on the edge of this continent?"

Ran purses her lips and thinks for a while, but then she just shakes her head slowly.

【リック】「俺の父さんは外世界の研究をしててね. 雲の向こうに新しい世界があることを　突きとめたんだ. そして、飛行機を作って、大陸から　飛び出したんだ」

【ラン】「なんだか、ピンと来ない話ね」

ランが少し難しそうな顔をしていた. そもそも、空を飛ぶという感覚や、雲の向こうにある世界なんて考えたことのない人にとっては、想像しがたいものだろう.

Rick: "You know, my dad researched the outside word. He found out that there is another world beyond those clouds. And with an airplane he built, he flew away to that world."

Ran: "Somehow, that's a little difficult to understand for me."

Ran made a face like she was thinking hard about this. I guess if you have never thought about the existence of an outside world and due to the feeling regarding flying to the sky, this must be a little hard to imagine.

俺だって、結局飛ぶって事も新しい世界のことも、なんとなく『わかってる』ような気がするだけだし.

【リック】「表向きは父さんは法王庁に逮捕された　ことになってるけどね. 父さんは新しい世界を求めて飛び出した　んだ」

ランが身を乗り出して、俺の話を興味深そうに聞いている.

Even I can barely understand what flying though the sky means and how there is a world outside of this.

Rick: "Officially the Holy Order proclaimed that my father had been arrested. But the truth is that he flew away to that other world to research it."

Ran listens closely to me, with her body leaned forward.

【ラン】「もしかして、リックも飛行機を　作ってるの？」

【リック】「え、あ、あはは. あんまり大きな声じゃ言えないけどね. 父さんが残していった造りかけの飛行機を　引き継いで、造ってるんだ」

【ラン】「すごいのね」

【リック】「俺の夢なんだ. あの白い雲の向こうにある　世界に行ってみたいんだ. 新しい世界に行きたいんだ」

Ran: "Could it be that you are building an airplane too, Rick?"

Rick: "Eh, Ah, Ahaha. I don't brag about it, but dad left a half finished frame behind and I'm trying to complete it right now."

Ran: "Woah!"

Rick: "It's my dream. To take a look at the world beyond that sea of white clouds. I want to go to that new world."

ライズストームまで、日にちも後わずかしかない. それまでになんとか完成させなければ.

【リック】「でも、なかなかうまく行かなくてね. ナップの協力があればいいんだけど」

【ラン】「難しいのね. でも、面白そうだわ. なんだかよくわからないけれど、　夢があるっていいわね」

There aren't many days left until the Stormrise. Somehow, I have to complete it before then.

Rick: "But, things aren't going so well right now. If only I could get Napp to help me."

[僧: Changed the last above two lines a little bit so they make more sense.] [天: Ok.]

Ran: "That's too bad. But it sounds very interesting. I don't really understand it, but it's good to have dreams."

【リック】「ランには、何か夢はないの？」

【ラン】「・・・夢ね. 考えたことないわ. 子供の頃は、苦労する両親しか見て　なかったし、今の私はバーナーのモノ　だもの」

【リック】「そんな、夢がなくちゃつまらないよ」

【ラン】「でも、私の人生なんてそんなものよ. いつまでもここにはいられないし、　バーナーは力だけはある男だもの. 法王庁にだってカネで通じてるって話よ. いつかは連れ戻されてしまうかも　しれない」

Rick: "Do you have a dream of your own, Ran?"

Ran: "... a dream. I never thought about it. Ever since I was a child I never saw my mom and dad very often, since they worked so hard, and now I'm Bernar's property."

Rick: "But isn't it boring not to have any dreams?"

Ran: "But, what good would it do me to have any? I can't hide here forever, Bernar is a powerful man. Rumor has it that he even funds the Order. I'm sure they will find me one day and bring me back to his manor."

【リック】「そんなことはさせない. 俺がランを守るよ」

【ラン】「どうやって？　バーナーでも殺すの？　それとも、ここでずっと隠れて暮らす？」

【リック】「それは・・・」

【ラン】「・・・ごめんなさい. 困らせちゃったね. 恩人なのに」

ランはそう言って、自分のことではないように、というより、いつもの明るい笑顔で笑っていた.

Rick: "That's not going to happen. I will protect you, Ran!"

Ran: "And how do plan to do this? Do you want to murder Bernar? Or do you want to keep me hidden here forever?"

Rick: "Thats, um..."

Ran: "... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you. You're my hero after all."

''[味: Savior sounds a bit too hefty... possibly hero?] [天: "Hero" sounds heftier than "savior" to me, but there's no relying on my intuition here. http://eow.alc.co.jp/恩人 maybe "lifesaver"? But then again her life wasn't in danger, ah I don't know, I'll have to trust you in this. ][味: Well to me savior invokes a certain religious figure @_@ Either works, I'm just saying there's comparing someone to a knight in shining armor (hell that might work even) and then there's the perceived comparison to Christ. Then again, I may just be over thinking this |D]''

As she says that, it's like she's a different person, and once again she puts on her bright happy face and smiles. ''[天: Damn it, I forgot this line too. When I'm done with this I really have to go over this once more line by line to make sure that I really translated everything.]''

【ラン】「でも、リックとお話ししてると　少しだけ、私の人生も捨てたものじゃ　ないなぁって思えるわ. いつも明るくて自由なあなたが　うらやましいわ」

ランはあくまで明るい表情のまま、淡々と答え、席を立つ.

Ran: "But when I talk to you Rick, just for a moment I think, that maybe my life isn't something I can just throw away. Your brightness and your freedom, I envy that."

Ran always tries her best to look bright and happy, but she seems quite gloomy as she says this. She stands up.

【ラン】「リック. そろそろ夕方になるわ. 夕飯の魚を捕ってきて」

【リック】「え、あ、そうだね. じゃ、行ってくるよ」

俺は、ランに合わせて席を立つ.

Ran: "Rick. It's getting late. You should go and catch some fish for dinner."

Rick: "Eh, ah, you're right. Alright then, see you later."

I stand up too.

ランの笑顔の下には、これまでの寂しい生活が隠れていたのだ.

ランは、自分が寂しさに潰されないように一生懸命明るく振る舞っていたのだ.

俺は、釣り竿を担ぎながら、どうにかランに本当の笑顔をもたらすことができないかと考えていたが、なかなかいい考えは浮かばなかった.

Under Ran's bright smile, there is such melancholy and lifelessness.

While those feelings are crushing her on the inside she is trying her best to shine for us on the outside.

As I leave with the rod and the fishing basket on my back, I'm thinking how I was unable to bring forth her true smile, but I can't come up with a way to make her truly happy either.

[月: instead of spamming my name everywhere im just going to say here that i fixed a great handful of mistakes/errors.]
