Natsumi was not in her room.[np]\
;;夏咲の部屋に、夏咲がいない。[np]\
*page4|
I sat alone, absentmindedly staring out of the window.[np]\
;;おれは、一人、ぼんやりと窓の外を眺める。[np]\
*page5|
Police vehicles were rushing along the roads.[np]\
;;警察車両が路上をせわしなく走り回っている。[np]\
*page6|
Every now and then, I would hear a shrill whistle. A group of uniformed men would appear out of nowhere in response.[np]\
;;ときおり、甲高い笛の音が聞こえ、それに合わせて制服に身を包んだ男たちがどこからともなく一斉に姿を見せた。[np]\
*page7|
The town seemed to be in a strange uproar of sorts.[np]\
;;町の様子がおかしくなっているようだ。[np]\
*page8|
Natsumi's whereabouts were uncertain, as well.[np]\
;;夏咲の安否も不明。[np]\
*page9|
I had been placed under house arrest in this room.[np]\
;;おれは身柄を拘束され、この部屋で謹慎を命じられていた。[np]\
*page10|
The door was locked from the outside and the windows were sealed.[np]\
;;室内は外から鍵をかけられ、部屋の窓を開けることは禁止されていた。[np]\
*page11|
They had stationed a lookout in the hallway to keep an eye on me.[np]\
;;おれを監視するために、見張りがドアの向こうの廊下にたたずんでいる。[np]\
*page12|
I had scoped him out earlier, when he was delivering my meal. All he had on him was one rather inaccurate gun.[np]\
;;ついさっき食事を配給しに来たときに、装備を確認したが、腰に一つ、精度と安定性の悪い拳銃を提げているだけだった。[np]\
*page13|
Furthermore, he had no backup.[np]\
;;しかも、たったの一人。[np]\
*page14|
My army knife gleamed within my duralumin case.[np]\
;;そして、おれのジェラルミンケースの中には、軍用ナイフが銀色の鈍い輝きを放っている。[np]\
*page15|
Why hadn't it been seized?[np]\
;;なぜ没収されなかったのか。[np]\
*page16|
Because this was all a part of Houzuki's game, of course. The game conducted under the pretense of an "examination."[np]\
;;それは、試験という名の、法月のゲームがまだ続いているからだ。[np]\
*page17|
Letting someone who had committed a crime live was the biggest proof of that.[np]\
;;罪を犯したおれを、法月がまだ生かしているのが、何よりの証拠だ。[np]\

I removed the stopper on the gas valve and turned on the stove, then headed to the door.[np]\

*page27|
A short man opened the door and entered the room, careful to keep his eye on me.[np]\
;;背の低い男が警戒しながらドアを開けて、室内に入ってきた。[np]\
*page28|
His gun was pointed straight at me.[np]\
;;銃口はしっかりとおれに向けている。[np]\
*page29|
He was close enough that I could reach him if I took only a step forward.[np]\
;;一歩踏み込めば、手が届くくらいの距離。[np]\
*page30|
And yet he was holding out his gun arm regardless.[np]\
;;にもかかわらず、そいつは銃を持つ腕を伸ばしきっている。[np]\
*page31|
[name txt="Kenichi"]"Don't shoot now. It'll explode."[np]\

Is he a rookie?[np]\

;;[name txt="男"]"…………"[np]\
*page34|
His eyes were narrow.[np]\
;;そいつの目つきは細く、鋭かった。[np]\
*page35|
He turned his eyes to the stove, then entered the kitchen.[np]\
;;視線が、灯台の光のように機械的に、キッチンでごうごうと音を立てて火を灯すガスコンロに向けられた。[np]\
;;Technically there is no indication that he looked all around the room. Just that he turned from Kenichi to the source of the sound in kitchen(mechanically like the the light of a lighthouse.) Yes I know a light house's turning implies that it scours the whole room but there's technically no indication of that(and he probably didn't since if he looked all around the room, there's no reason why turning towards the kitchen in particular would grant the moment Kenichi was looking for). I guess that makes it a pretty crappy analogy huh.
*page36|
And that provided ample opportunity.[np]\

*page40|
I picked up the gun and trained it on him.[np]\

;;If he's doing it for the sake of disguise why is he doing it majestically. That just feels so wrong.

I checked the man's ID as he lay passed out on the floor.[np]\

...The Public Security Police.[np]\
;;……治安維持警察。[np]\
*page49|
I had heard that things had calmed down quite a bit since the uprising, but... it looked like they were still moving behind the scenes.[np]\
;;親父の内乱が終わって、少しはおとなしくなったと聞くが、いまだに影で暗躍しているらしい。[np]\
*page50|
They weren't equipped with rifles as in the military, and they didn't receive combat training either.[np]\
;;軍隊のように小銃を備えていないし、戦闘の訓練を積んでいるわけでもない。[np]\
*page51|
However, they were an elite secret police force who specialized in dealing with those who spoke out against the current regime.[np]\
;;けれど、現体制に反対する思想や言論を取り締まることを専門にした秘密警察だ。[np]\
*page52|
I've heard that, if you get caught by them, even your asshole is gonna be dancing along to their tune by the time they're done with you.[np]\
;;こいつらに捕まったが最後、ケツの穴までこいつら色に染められちまうらしい。[np]\
*page53|
Anyway, the most troublesome part of all this was the fact that they were under pop's personal command.[np]\
;;そして、なにより厄介なのはとっつぁんの私兵だってことだ。[np]\
*page54|
I was just about certain that pops was the director of their organization - an organization which, by all accounts, shouldn't have been allowed under our current laws.[np]\
;;とっつぁんは、この民主主義とは相容れないはずの組織の局長だったはず。[np]\
*page55|
Well, apparently he had resigned at some point, but... Judging by what was happening outside, it was pretty clear as to what his current involvement with them was.[np]\
;;現在は辞めているようだが、どんな形で癒着しているのか、町の様子のおかしさからだいたい想像がつく。[np]\
*page56|
Special High Class Individuals and the Public Security Police could be likened to two interlocking gears - gears which powered the peoples' fears. From a commoner's perspective, they were just about the worst combination on Earth.[np]\
;;特別高等人と治安維持警察は、恐怖の両輪とでもいうべき、民衆にとって最悪の組み合わせだ。[np]\
*page57|
Sachi, Touka, Natsumi, onee-chan... I wonder if they're all okay...[np]\
