Reading it brought forth nothing but misery.[np]\ ;;おれは調書を目の当たりにして、やるせない気持ちになるばかりだった。[np]\ *page74| First, both of her parents had been sent to a concentration camp.[np]\ ;;まず、ご両親はともに強制収容所に送られている。[np]\ *page75| They were both accused of crimes related to the uprising seven years ago.[np]\ ;;七年前の内乱で二人とも、罪に問われていたのだ。[np]\ *page76| Anyway, regarding the circumstances of her "obligation"...[np]\ ;;そして、夏咲が義務を科せられたいきさつだが……。[np]\ *page77| Four years ago, a man named Sakuma Takamichi had had her hauled before the courts.[np]\ ;;佐久間孝道という男が、四年前に夏咲を起訴している。[np]\ *page78| The Sakuma family was one of the wealthiest landowners in town.[np]\ ;;佐久間の家は、この町の大地主だ。[np]\ *page79| Hearing their name was pretty uncommon now, but four years ago they were so prosperous that they owned large amounts of land both here and in the city.[np]\ ;;いまでこそ名前は聞かないが、不動産の景気がよかった四年前なんかは、都会でもがんがん土地を転がしていたようだ。[np]\ *page80| As for the details of Sakuma Takamichi's accusation... I couldn't believe my eyes. Natsumi had...[np]\ ;;起訴内容は、これまた信じられいのだが、夏咲が……。[np]\ *page81| ...God damn it. This shit pissed me off.[np]\ ;;……くそ、頭にくるな。[np]\ *page82| ...Well, I suppose you could summarize her charges as illicit sexual relations and fraud.[np]\ ;;……まあ、詐欺と不純異性交遊……みたいなもんか。[np]\ *page83| According to Sakuma Takamichi, she had tried to extort large sums of money from his son using her sexual wiles.[np]\ ;;夏咲が、佐久間の一人息子をたぶらかし、多額の現金を騙し取っていたんだそうな。[np]\ ;;Let's use sexual wiles, I always wanted to use that. *page84| The trial had resulted in the plaintiff's victory.[np]\ ;;裁判は原告側の勝訴。[np]\ *page85| No matter how you looked at it, it had to be a false charge.[np]\ ;;こんなもの、冤罪に決まっている。[np]\ ;;False charge is a commonly used term legally ain't it? brought up on false charges, blah blah. I think it should be changed back. Especially with the use of fraud just 3 lines before this. *page86| It was obvious if you looked at the details. For example, the length of her custody was extended several times for trivial reasons.[np]\ ;;それが証拠に、夏咲の拘留期間が、くだらない理由で何度も延長されている。[np]\ *page87| Natsumi's forced confession had been the deciding factor in the court's imposition of an "obligation" upon her.[np]\ ;;強要された自白が決め手になって、夏咲は義務を科せられた。[np]\ ;;It was the decisive evidence, so to speak. The Sakuma family does not impose obligations, sir. *page88| Anyway, it would seem that a number of different High Class Individuals had supervised Natsumi over the years. Their evaluations of her had been mostly similar.[np]\ ;;以来、何人かの高等人が担当についているが、いずれも夏咲に対して似たような評価を下している。[np]\ *page89| She was well-behaved, a straight A student, and exceedingly polite.[np]\ ;;品行方正、学業優秀、性格は温和でよく気が利く。[np]\ *page90| At first glance, she did not seem to be the sort of individual who would bear an "obligation." However, on occasion, she would exercise impropriety in front of men. For example, she had a bad habit of crying rather easily, and she would occasionally shift her gaze upward to stare at you.[np]\ ;;一見して明るく、とても義務を負っているような人間には見えないのだが、ときおり上目遣いの媚めいた視線を送ったり、男性の前で無意味に涙を流す悪癖がある。[np]\ ;;See page 287 of 045.ks This is the line with upward glance in it. *page91| Considering that she was also very attractive, there was a possibility that she could end up tempting a man, whether inadvertently or purposely. Therefore, it would be prudent to monitor her for a while longer before cancelling her "obligation."[np]\ ;;これが、少女の容姿の良さもあいまって、異性を誘うような事態に発展する可能性を秘めている――そのため、義務の解消は見送られている。[np]\ *page92| [name txt="Kenichi"]"Man, aren't they just being too self-conscious?"[np]\ ;;[name txt="Kenichi"]"こいつらそろいもそろって、自意識過剰じゃねえか？"[np]\ *page93| Natsumi had led a life of avoiding people.[np]\ ;;夏咲は人を避けて生きている。[np]\ *page94| I suppose that that could have attracted people in and of itself, though.[np]\ ;;まあ、それが逆に人を惹きつけるのかもしれないな。[np]\ *page95| ...Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few people were curious about the girl who looked so sad all the time...[np]\ ;;……確かに、夏咲の物憂げな表情は気になるところかもしれないが。[np]\ *page96| At any rate, I would just have to see how things went for now.[np]\ ;;いずれにせよ、少し夏咲の様子を見よう。[np]\ *page97| I got the impression that Natsumi herself did not possess any particular desire to cancel her "obligation."[np]\ ;;夏咲自身から、義務を解消するつもりがないような印象も受ける。[np]\ *page98| That said, I really wanted to free her as soon as possible...[np]\ ;;本当なら、すぐにでも自由にしてあげたいのだが……。[np]\ *page99| The memories of our time together as children now served only to torment me.[np]\ ;;子供のころ、一緒に遊んだ記憶が、いまとなっては胸を締め付けるような苦い思い出になっている。[np]\ *page100| ――Ken-chan.[np]\ ;;――ケンちゃん。[np]\ *page101| Would she still call me that, seven years later?[np]\ ;;七年たった今日、そう呼んでくれるのだろうか。[np]\ *page102| ......[np]\ ;;…………。[np]\ *page103| ...[np]\ ;;……。[np]\ ;背景 夏咲の部屋 昼 @fobgm @f_grp @wait time=2000 @playbgm storage=bgm_03 @c_grp storage=bg_17a @show *page104| I lay down on the floor and carefully observed Natsumi.[np]\ ;;床に寝転がって、さり気なく夏咲を観察している。[np]\ *page106| She didn't speak a word.[np]\ ;;夏咲は、まったくしゃべらない。[np]\ *page108| Boring...[np]\ ;;ゴロゴロ……。[np]\ *page109| [name txt="Kenichi"]"...Argh!"[np]\ ;;[name txt="Kenichi"]"……うわっ！"[np]\ *page110| I couldn't take the silence any longer.
