::The man spots you from far away, lifts his index finger and points it right at you. His long legs close the distance quickly, and as you raise your head more and more do you realize you will probably need a ladder in order to speak to him and not strain your neck. While his coat seems to be in decent condition, excluding a few bullet-sized holes and off-colored patches, his boots, on the other hand, won't last him much longer, and his waist belt fits him as tightly as a hula hoop. He stops in front of you, finger still aimed down at your nose, and speaks.::

You! Yes, you! You look like someone who's got food! No, no, don't deny it. I knew it from the moment I saw you. You. have. *food*!<end>

=>q1
::男はあなたを遠くから見つけると、人差し指を持ち上げてまっすぐあなたに向けた。長い足で瞬く間に距離を詰め、顔を上げるほどに、首を痛めずに話すには脚立が要るかもしれないと悟る。コートは弾丸大の穴がいくつかあり色落ちしたパッチもあるが、まずまずの状態だ。一方ブーツはもう長くはもたないし、腰のベルトはフラフープのようにぶかぶかだ。男はあなたの前で立ち止まり、指先をあなたの鼻に向けたまま口を開く。::

お前だよ！そう、お前！食べ物を持ってそうな顔してるじゃないか！いや、否定すんな。見た瞬間わかった。お前は。食べ物を。*持ってる*！<end>

=>a2_original
Can I help you?<end>

=>a2
何か用か？<end>

=>q3_original
Hey, pal, let's not lie to each other. The real question is, can I help *you*?<end>

=>q3
嘘はなしだ、相棒。本当の問題はこうだ——おれがお前の役に立てるか、だろ？<end>

=>q4_original
<end>

=>q4
<end>

=>a5_original
Can you?<end>

=>a5
できるのか？<end>

=>q6_original
Hey, that's what I'm talking about! But first, let me properly introduce myself: I'm Jon the Beautiful. Am I not? Eh? *Eh*?<end>

=>q6
それだよ、それ！でもまず、きちんと自己紹介させてくれ——おれはジョン・ザ・ビューティフルだ。違うか？なあ？*なあ？*<end>

=>q7_original
Now that we're done with that, listen here: I've been living in Core City for quite some time now and have learned many of its secrets. Even some of the most hardcore ones! And... I happen to be hungry all the time. Understand, pal? I can tell you interesting and one-hundred-percent useful things in exchange for... what?<end>

=>q7
それが済んだら、いいか——おれはコア・シティにかなり長く住んでいて、その秘密をたくさん知っている。最もハードコアなものまで含めてな！そして...おれはいつも腹を空かせてる。わかるか、相棒？面白くて百パーセント役に立つことを教えられる、交換条件は......何だと思う？<end>

=>a8_original
Food?<end>

=>a8
食べ物か？<end>

=>q9_original
You get it! That's what I'm talking about, pal! You're not as dumb as you loo-- Okay, okay, so here's the deal: <end>

=>q9
わかってんじゃないか！それだよ、それ、相棒！お前は思ったほどバカじゃな——いや、まあ、とにかく、こういうことだ：<end>

=>q10_original
You can find me near the back entrance to the Hardcore City Bar. That's where I usually hang out. If you don't know where that is, find me first and then I'll explain it. So, bring that delicious food of yours and then we'll discuss things further, pal.<end>

=>q10
ハードコア・シティ・バーの裏口付近でおれを見つけられる。だいたいそこにいる。場所を知らなければ、まずおれを見つけてから説明しよう。だから、そのうまそうな食べ物を持ってきてくれ、そうすれば話の続きができる、相棒。<end>

=>a11_original
Alright, I'll find you if I need something.<end>

=>a11
わかった、何か必要になったら探すよ。<end>

Hey, pal, that's what I'm talking about. See you later!<end>

There's a man waiting for you in Dominating bar, up in the residential area. Name's Aran. Dressed in a black and red cloak, wears a mask, has a sword. Can't miss him.<end>

=>q16
住宅区画上のドミネイティング・バーで、お前を待っている男がいる。名前はアラン。黒と赤のマントを着て、仮面をつけ、剣を持っている。見間違えようがない。<end>

=>a17_original
Did he say what it's about?<end>

=>a17
何の用件か言ってたか？<end>

=>q18_original
No. He only said that I tell you - which I'm doing right now - that it's something important and that you should see him as soon as possible - which means *now*. <end>

=>q18
いや。おれに伝言を頼んだだけだ——今まさにやってることだが——重要なことで、できるだけ早く会いに行くようにと——つまり*今すぐ*、ということだ。<end>

<end>

<end>

=>a20_original
Didn't know you also worked as a messenger.<end>

=>a20
伝言屋もやってるとは知らなかった。<end>

=>q21_original
I don't, not anymore. Used to do it way back before every zoner and their pet rat started doing it. Brought the prices down into the gutter.<end>

=>q21
今はやってない。ゾーナーという奴らとそいつらのペットのネズミが参入する前はやっていた。あいつらのせいで相場が底まで落ちた。<end>

=>q22_original
But this... this I couldn't refuse.<end>

=>q22
でもこれは...これは断れなかった。<end>

=>a23_original
Where is this Dominating bar exactly?<end>

=>a23
ドミネイティング・バーはどこにある？<end>

=>q24_original
Take the elevator to the upper floor then head east. All the way past the Praetorian Security headquarters.<end>

=>q24
エレベーターで上の階に行って、東に向かえ。プラエトリアン・セキュリティ本部を通り過ぎたずっと先だ。<end>

=>q25_original
It's a small bar in the southeastern corner. Small, cozy place. A bit empty, though.<end>

=>q25
南東の角にある小さなバーだ。小さくて居心地がいい。ちょっと人が少ないけどな。<end>

=>a26_original
What do you know about him?<end>

=>a26
あいつについて何を知ってる？<end>

=>q27_original
A few things. But it's gonna cost you, pal. <end>

=>q27
いくつか知ってる。でも、ただじゃないぞ、相棒。<end>

=>a28_original
What do you need?<end>

=>a28
何が欲しい？<end>

=>q29_original
My inner being's yearning for some bacon... and cheese. ::He pats his belly.:: Between two slices of rootbread.<end>

=>q29
内なるおれがベーコンを...チーズを求めている。::彼は腹を叩く。:: ルートブレッド2枚の間に挟んで。<end>

=>a30_original
Here you go.<end>

=>a30
はい、どうぞ。<end>

=>q31_original
Mmmm, yeah. What is life without bacon? Now, pal...<end>

=>q31
んんん、そうだ。ベーコンのない人生に何の意味がある？さて、相棒...<end>

=>q32_original
This guy came here somewhere around the time the Black Sea expedition boats came back for resupply. Around that time. He approached me and inquired about *everything* that's been going on in Core City in the past few weeks, and I mean everything, pal, especially about the expedition. I got so much canned food out of it I'm good for-- *Anyway*...<end>

=>q32
あいつがここに来たのは、黒海探検隊の船が補給のために戻ってきた頃だった。その辺りだ。おれに近づいてきて、過去数週間にコア・シティで起きた*全ての*ことを聞いてきた。全てだよ、相棒、特に探検隊についてな。缶詰がたんまり手に入ったんで、しばらくは——*まあ、とにかく*...<end>

=>q33_original
He's looking for something, and that something's most likely related to the expedition, yeah. I don't know what it is exactly, <end>

=>q33
あいつは何かを探してる、そしてそれはおそらく探検隊に関係してる。そうだな。何なのか正確にはわからないが、<end>

=>q34_original
but whatever it is, it's gotta be the reason he's after *you*. When your name came up, pal, he got really interested. <end>

=>q34
何であれ、それがあいつがお前を追ってる理由に違いない。お前の名前が出たとき、相棒、あいつは本当に興味を示した。<end>

=>q35_original
::He nods while pulling a piece of bacon out of the sandwich and eating it with delight.::<end>

=>q35
::サンドイッチからベーコンを一切れ引き抜いて、うれしそうに食べながら頷く。::<end>

=>a36_original
Tell me about the man himself.<end>

=>a36
あいつ自身について話せ。<end>

=>q37_original
He's the kind of a man that's not too pleased about hauling food to me. But we, eh... struck a deal in the end. The man means business and knows how to do business.<end>

=>q37
おれに食べ物を持ってくることにはあまり乗り気じゃない男だ。でも、まあ...結局は取引が成立した。あいつは仕事はきっちりやる男で、どう仕事をするかも知っている。<end>

=>q38_original
But he's Hexagonian, that I can bet this sandwich on. It's the way he dresses, the equipment he's got, the attitude. Hexagonian.

Who he's working for... that's a more difficult question. There are plenty of factions in Hexagon, most of them pretty low-key. He could be a lone gun as well... a lone sword in his case. But he's well-equipped, and the toys he's got don't come cheap, so there.<end>

=>q38
でもあいつはヘキサゴン人だ、このサンドイッチを賭けてもいい。服装、装備、態度。ヘキサゴン人だ。

誰のために働いているか...それはもっと難しい問いだ。ヘキサゴンには派閥がたくさんあって、ほとんどは目立たない。単独の銃手かもしれない...あいつの場合は単独の剣士か。でも装備はいい、持ってる道具は安くない、それだけは言える。<end>

=>q39_original
Aaaand... that's all I got for you.

::He takes a bite out of the sandwich.:: Mmm, hot damn, pal! This dominates. And the cheese, oh boy...<end>

=>q39
で、それが...以上だ。

::サンドイッチに一口かじりつく。:: んん、くっそ、相棒！これは制覇してる。そしてチーズが...まじかよ...<end>

=>a45_original
I'm looking for Joe De Pacino.<end>

=>a45
ジョー・デ・パチーノを探してる。<end>

=>q46_original
That's easy, but it'll cost you one eel sandwich. My tummy yearns for it!<end>

=>q46
それは簡単だが、ウナギサンド一つが必要だ。おなかが求めてる！<end>

=>a47_original
Here you go. ::Give him one eel sandwich.::<end>

=>a47
はい、どうぞ。::ウナギサンドを1つ渡す。::<end>

=>q48_original
Come here, baby! No, not you - I was talking to the sandwich. Sometimes the digestion is better if you talk to your food. Anyway, about Joe: Just head north of here and you should see a guard to the right, on a platform. There's, like, this small metal shack there.<end>

=>q48
おいで、おいで！いや、違う、お前じゃない——サンドイッチに言ったんだ。食べ物に話しかけると消化が良くなることがあるんだよ。とにかく、ジョーについて：ここから北に行くと、右手に台の上の警備員が見える。小さな金属の小屋があるはずだ。<end>

=>q49_original
The guard is one of De Pacino's men. You figure out the rest, pal. ::He laughs.:: Nasty buggers. Also, I heard they do business with Coretech. Dirty business. There's some free info. ::He bites into the sandwich, and soon after an expression of bliss appears on his face.:: Oh, this one's good!<end>

=>q49
その警備員はデ・パチーノの手下だ。あとはお前が考えろ、相棒。::笑う。:: 嫌な奴らだ。それと、コアテックと商売してると聞いた。汚い商売だ。おまけの情報だ。::サンドイッチに一口かじりつき、すぐに至福の表情が浮かぶ。:: ああ、これはうまい！<end>

=>a50_original
I don't have that. I'll be back when I do.<end>

=>a50
それは持ってない。用意できたら戻る。<end>

=>q51_original
Yeah, pal. Now, got any other questions before I leave?<end>

=>q51
そうか、相棒。さて、行く前に他に質問はあるか？<end>

=>q52_original
Me hungry.<end>

=>q52
おなかすいた。<end>

=>a53_original
I'm looking for people named Bogdan and Slavomir. Do you know where I can find them?<end>

=>a53
ボグダンとスラヴォミールという人を探してる。どこで見つけられる？<end>

=>q54_original
Rathound barbecue. ::He points at his gaping mouth.:: Here.<end>

=>q54
ラットハウンドのバーベキュー。::大きく開けた口を指さす。:: ここに。<end>

=>a55_original
Here you go. ::Give him one rathound barbecue.::<end>

=>a55
はい、どうぞ。::ラットハウンドのバーベキューを1つ渡す。::<end>

=>q56_original
Slavomir and Bogdan - no idea. ::He starts eating.::<end>

=>q56
スラヴォミールとボグダン——知らない。::食べ始める。::<end>

=>q57_original
Hey pal, I'm just messing with you, don't be silly.

<end>

=>q57
なあ、相棒、冗談だよ、大げさだな。

<end>

=>q58_original
The two guys are brothers. <end>

=>q58
その二人は兄弟だ。<end>

=>q59_original
To find them, go east, and east, and *east* and there you'll find a small community of foreigners who say "bre" a lot.<end>

=>q59
見つけるには、東へ、東へ、そして*東へ*行け。そこに「bre」をよく言う外国人の小さなコミュニティがある。<end>

=>q60_original
At the *east* side of that area you'll find Slavomir's - humble - home. But, be careful, 'cause you'll be in the Drop Zone. Zoners and stuff, you know? Nasty people. Heard of that, them? No? Yes? Meh... ::He bites into the meat.::<end>

=>q60
そのエリアの*東*側にスラヴォミールの——こじんまりした——家がある。でも気をつけろ、ドロップ・ゾーンに入ることになるからな。ゾーナーとか、そういう連中だよ。嫌な奴らだ。知ってるか、あいつら？知らない？知ってる？まあいいか...::肉に一口かじりつく。::<end>

=>q61_original
He's - or should be - with his brother Slavomir. <end>

=>q61
あいつは——いるはずだが——兄のスラヴォミールと一緒にいる。<end>

=>a64_original
Do you know anything about a merchant called Daniel Arda?<end>

=>a64
ダニエル・アルダという商人について何か知ってるか？<end>

=>q65_original
Hey pal, look at me: Don't you think I'm starving? Just look at this flappy skin! Let's fix that with a cave hopper steak!<end>

=>q65
なあ、相棒、おれを見てくれ。飢えてると思わないか？この弛んだ皮を見ろ！ケイブホッパーのステーキで解決しよう！<end>

=>a66_original
Here you go. ::Give him one cave hopper steak.::<end>

=>a66
はい、どうぞ。::ケイブホッパーのステーキを1つ渡す。::<end>

=>q67_original
That's what I'm talking about! Come to me! So, you want to know more about Daniel? Okay, pal, listen up: I've been keeping my eye on him for a while. Whenever someone comes along and claims he's got something that's "the best" - which is that Hercules drug in this case - you gotta know something crooked is going on.<end>

=>q67
それだよ、それ！こっちへ来い！で、ダニエルについてもっと知りたいのか？わかった、相棒、聞け——しばらくあいつを見張ってた。誰かが「最高の品」を持ってると言い出したとき——今回はそのヘラクレス薬だが——何かうさんくさいことが起きてると思っていい。<end>

=>q68_original
First, Daniel is a pathological liar. He lies about his past, how he lost his eye - everything. Just ask around, you'll notice he told different stories to different people. Second, even more important than the first, is about the Hercules drug. I've seen some local scavengers buy it, go do some spelunking, scavenging, whatever - and none of them ever returned to Core City.<end>

=>q68
まず、ダニエルは病的な嘘つきだ。過去のこと、片目を失った経緯——全部嘘をつく。ちょっと周りに聞いてみれば、人によって違う話をしてるとわかる。次に、一番目よりも重要なのが、ヘラクレス薬についてだ。地元のスカベンジャーが買って洞窟探索やスカベンジングに出かけるのを見たことがある——そして誰一人コア・シティに戻ってこなかった。<end>

=>q69_original
Now, you're not asking this for no reason, of course. If you want to learn what it does exactly, I suggest you get a sample of that stuff and test it. Simple. By the way, thanks for the food, pal.

::He was about to bite the steak when he suddenly stops.:: When I said "test it," I didn't mean to test it on yourself. Just to be clear. ::Now he bites into the steak.::<end>

=>q69
まあ、お前がこれを理由もなく聞いてるわけじゃないのはわかってる。正確に何をするのか知りたいなら、そのものをサンプルとして手に入れて調べることをお勧めする。簡単だ。ところで、食べ物をありがとう、相棒。

::ステーキに一口かじろうとしたが、突然止まる。:: 「調べる」と言ったとき、自分で試すという意味じゃなかった。念のため。::今度こそステーキにかじりつく。::<end>

=>a70_original
Do you know where can I find a Coretech agent named Raul?<end>

=>a70
ラウルというコアテックのエージェントをどこで見つけられる？<end>

=>q71_original
This one will be cheap - one mushroom brew.<end>

=>q71
これは安くすむ——キノコの醸造酒一本だ。<end>

=>a72_original
Here you go. ::Give him one mushroom brew.::<end>

=>a72
はい、どうぞ。::キノコの醸造酒を1本渡す。::<end>

=>q73_original
::He starts drinking it.:: Pal, this brew ain't so bad after all. I've had much better, of course. But it's good. Listen, this Raul went into the sewers and never came back. I've seen him go there - Jon Vision, my eyes see everything.<end>

=>q73
::飲み始める。:: 相棒、この醸造酒、悪くないな。もっとうまいやつも飲んだことあるけど。でもいいぞ。いいか、このラウルは下水道に入って戻ってこなかった。入るのを見た——ジョン・ビジョン、おれの目はすべてを見る。<end>

=>q74_original
Pal, you might be looking for a dead man. The sewers are a dangerous place... full of unexpected surprises. Good luck finding him.<end>

=>q74
相棒、お前は死人を探してるかもしれないぞ。下水道は危険な場所だ...予期せぬサプライズが満載だ。見つかるといいな。<end>

=>a75_original
Do you know where I'm able to find Luben Greenhorn? He is a Coretech Employee.<end>

=>a75
ルーベン・グリーンホーンをどこで見つけられる？コアテックの社員だ。<end>

=>q76_original
The information I'm about to give you is extremely, extremely valuable: I don't know where he is.<end>

=>q76
これから教える情報は非常に、非常に価値がある——あいつがどこにいるか知らない。<end>

=>q77_original
The information is free 'cause my tummy is full, which is as rare as me *not* knowing something that's going on around the city. Hey, I'm Jon the Beautiful!<end>

=>q77
おなかがいっぱいだから無料だ、これはおれが街のことを*知らない*くらい珍しいことだよ。なあ、おれはジョン・ザ・ビューティフルだぞ！<end>

=>a78_original
Do you know anything about a gang composed of one guy and three women?<end>

=>a78
男一人に女三人で構成されたギャングを知ってるか？<end>

=>q79_original
Do I? ::He laughs.:: Gimme a Junkyard surprise and find out!<end>

=>q79
知ってるか？::笑う。:: ジャンクヤード・サプライズをくれ、そうしたらわかる！<end>

=>a80_original
Here you go. ::Give him one Junkyard Surprise.::<end>

=>a80
はい、どうぞ。::ジャンクヤード・サプライズを1つ渡す。::<end>

=>q81_original
Listen pal, I've seen that gang. The man's name is Duff, and he's one hardcore dude. Listen, is he not? Three women, hey! Good looking girls following an ugly dude - if that's not hardcore, I don't know what is. They usually move around the Drop Zone - here on the second level - but for anything more specific you better ask Duff.<end>

=>q81
聞けよ、相棒、そのギャングを見たことある。男の名前はダフ、ハードコアな奴だ。聞けよ、そうじゃないか？女が三人だぞ！不細工な男についていく美人たち——それがハードコアでなくて何だ。だいたいドロップ・ゾーン——ここの二階——を動き回ってるけど、もっと詳しいことはダフに聞くといい。<end>

=>q82_original
So go now, ask Duff while I eat this. Oh yeah, Junkyard surprise is my favorite kind of surprise. Or any other edible surprise. Or just edible. If it's edible - it's good. Now go to Duff.<end>

=>q82
さあ行け、おれが食べてる間にダフに聞いてこい。ジャンクヤード・サプライズはお気に入りのサプライズだ。食えるサプライズなら何でも。というか食えるものなら何でも。食えるものはうまい。さあダフのとこへ行け。<end>

=>a83_original
Do you know who was behind the recent Coretech warehouse attacks?<end>

Hey pal, you know me. I'll have a cave hopper steak and you'll get your information.<end>

=>q84
なあ、相棒、おれのことはわかってるだろ。ケイブホッパーのステーキをくれ、そうすれば情報を教える。<end>

=>a85_original
Here you go. ::Give him one cave hopper steak.::<end>

=>a85
はい、どうぞ。::ケイブホッパーのステーキを1つ渡す。::<end>

=>q86_original
Interesting question you're asking... ::He bites into the steak.:: Good steak. I've tried better though, but it's good. Anyway...mmm... chewing... These mercenaries, I don't know where they come from, but they are *not* from Core City, of that I'm certain. And I'm also pretty certain it was JKK that hired them to move into that warehouse.<end>

=>q86
面白い質問だな...::ステーキに一口かじりつく。:: いいステーキだ。もっとうまいやつも食ったことあるけど、いいぞ。とにかく...んん...もぐもぐ...この傭兵たち、どこから来たかは知らないが、コア・シティ出身では*ない*、それは確かだ。それと、あの倉庫に乗り込ませたのはJKKだとほぼ確信してる。<end>

=>q87_original
Why JKK? I have this feeling in my gut... but maybe it's just hunger. But in all seriousness, Coretech keeps all sorts of things in that warehouse, from what I've heard, and I think they got a hold of something really big, or at least big enough for JKK to try and relieve Coretech of it. What that is... don't know. That's as far as I can tell you until I learn more, pal.<end>

=>q87
なぜJKKか？なんか第六感が...でも単に腹が減ってるだけかもな。真面目な話、聞いた話によるとコアテックはあの倉庫にいろんなものを保管してて、何かすごく大きなものを手に入れた——少なくともJKKがコアテックから奪おうとするほど大きなものを——と思う。それが何かは...知らない。もっと調べるまでは以上が教えられる全てだ、相棒。<end>

=>q94_original
Okay, pal. By now you've probably figured out that they're a private security company from North Underrail, yadda, yadda... so let's skip that. What's *more* interesting is how the company came to be: Aegis Incorporated was founded by two guys: One is a Protectorate veteran, the other a wealthy businessman from Dis.<end>

=>q94
わかった、相棒。今頃には北アンダーレールの民間警備会社だってわかってるだろ、あーだこーだ...だから省こう。*もっと*面白いのは会社の創設経緯だ——イージス株式会社は二人の男が設立した。一人はプロテクトレートのベテラン、もう一人はディスの裕福な実業家だ。<end>

=>q95_original
The first guy, Richard Briggs, is the guy actually running the show. He's one hardcore guy. Was involved in the Battle of Dis fifteen years ago, where his arm was blown to pieces, forcing him to spend a few years in recovery. Apparently, even though he got a cybernetic replacement the nerve damage had been so...dominating the docs couldn't just patch him up and let him go. 

That meant he had a lot of time to observe what was happening around him and think.<end>

=>q95
一人目、リチャード・ブリッグスが実際に仕切っている男だ。ハードコアな男だ。十五年前のディスの戦いに参加して腕が吹き飛ばされ、数年間の療養を余儀なくされた。義肢サイボーグに取り替えたが、神経損傷が...ドミネイティングすぎて医者がすぐに退院させられなかったらしい。

それで周りを観察して考える時間がたっぷりあった。<end>

=>q96_original
The second guy, a businessman called Francis "Big Frank" White, his job's to provide the money and take his share of the earnings. Not much else. The guy started from the bottom and now owns quite a lot of stuff up North. Appears to be a pretty upstanding citizen as well. Unless he's, I don't know... got teen girls fighting to death in his mansion's dungeon arena or something and no one knows about it, but yeah...<end>

=>q96
二人目、フランシス「ビッグ・フランク」ホワイトという実業家、こいつの仕事は金を出して利益の分け前を取ることだ。それだけだ。下から這い上がって今では北部に相当な資産を持っている。立派な市民にも見える。まあ、知らないが...屋敷の地下アリーナで十代の女の子たちを死闘させてるとかで誰も知らないとか、そういうことでもなければ、ね...<end>

=>a97_original
Yes... Well now, how did these two start Aegis Incorporated?<end>

=>a97
そうか...で、この二人はどうやってイージス株式会社を始めたんだ？<end>

=>q98_original
The Free Drones started it, basically. Briggs saw the need to protect folks from the newly-emerging anarchist threat in places where Protectorate couldn't keep them safe, like when they're traveling South and back or stuff like that. He wasn't fit to fight, Briggs, but he was fit to lead. So he hooked up with Big Frank, pitched the idea and they started the company. Briggs then contacted his old mates and formed a crew of battle-hardened soldiers who could use extra cash.<end>

基本的にフリー・ドローンズがきっかけだ。ブリッグスは、プロテクトレートが守れない場所——南部への往来中とか——で、新たに台頭してきたアナキストの脅威から人々を守る必要性を感じた。ブリッグスは戦えなかったが、率いることはできた。それでビッグ・フランクと組んでアイデアを持ちかけ、会社を立ち上げた。ブリッグスは旧友に連絡を取って、おこづかい稼ぎにもなる歴戦の兵士たちのチームを編成した。<end>

So - *Rag*, the boutique owner. I went there a couple of times, and lemme tell you, that guy's one churlish pipeworker. Not to me, no - 'cause him and I, we're pals like... like you and I, or him and I, you know; but to other customers, to them he can be a real son of a rat. Un-pro-*fessional.* 

And his wares ain't much to type home about, although considering it's the Drop Zone...<end>

=>q149
そう——*ラグ*、ブティックのオーナーだ。何度か行ったことがあるが、あいつは無礼なパイプ野郎だ。おれにはそうじゃないけどな——あいつとおれは相棒みたいなもんだから...お前とおれみたいに、あいつとおれみたいに、わかるだろ。でも他の客には、本物のネズミ野郎になることがある。プロ*意識*がない。

商品はわざわざ語るほどでもないが、まあドロップ・ゾーンのことを考えれば...<end>

=>q150_original
He, however, he's also got other wares - he's got *hardware*. For whatever reason he's been stockpiling weapons: pistols, rifles, machine guns - you name it. No one knows why, and few care, but that's a big building by zoner standards, and it ain't all boutique.<end>

=>q150
でも他の商品もある——*武器*だ。何らかの理由で武器を備蓄している：ピストル、ライフル、マシンガン——名前を挙げればきりがない。なぜかは誰も知らないし気にする人も少ないが、ゾーナーの基準では大きな建物で、全部がブティックじゃない。<end>

=>q151_original
Personally, I'd steer clear of him. I think the guy's holding some kind of grudge against someone - or everyone. Maybe it's 'cause everyone calls him Rag. He hates that. 

::He takes the last bite of the pie.:: Hish name'sh... Gale.<end>

=>q151
個人的には近づかないほうがいいと思う。誰か——全員かもしれないが——に恨みを持ってる気がする。みんながラグと呼ぶせいかもしれない。あいつはそれが嫌いだ。

From what I heard that was no ordinary earthquake, as you yourself said - it was an explosion. Yeah. Deep down under the city someone was trying to destroy one of the city's structural support columns. There are a bunch of those down there, massive, massive columns, keeping key sections of the city in place, and apparently this one was *just* below the Arena.

::He takes a handful of chips.::<end>

=>q157
聞いた話によると、お前が言った通りあれは普通の地震じゃなかった——爆発だ。そうだよ。街の深部のどこかで、街の構造支柱の一本を破壊しようとした奴がいた。下にはたくさんある、巨大な、巨大な柱が街の主要な区画を支えていて、どうやらその一本がアリーナのちょうど*真下*にあったらしい。

::チップスを一掴みする。::<end>

=>q167_original
Anyway, before going solo, <end>

=>q167
とにかく、ソロになる前は、<end>

=>q168_original
Master Exploder used to be the teamleader of *The Masters*. Some time ago, the Arena had this team vs. team gladiator tournament called the *DomiNation*. That was some good carnage, I gotta say, and The Masters were one of the most hardcore teams competing. <end>

=>q168
マスター・エクスプローダーはかつて*ザ・マスターズ*のチームリーダーだった。少し前、アリーナには*ドミネイション*というチーム対チームの格闘士トーナメントがあった。あれは素晴らしい殺し合いだったよ、そしてザ・マスターズは参加した中で最もハードコアなチームの一つだった。<end>

=>a169_original
Tell me more about them.<end>

=>a169
もっと教えてくれ。<end>

=>q170_original
Well, their schtick was that they were composed of "masters" of various, eh, you know, things: You had Master Skull Smasher, Master Laser Blaster - Master Brain Buster!

But when Master Exploder joined, he kinda took over and gave them a unifying theme - it all became focused on... the *boom*! They started wearing these, these bulky blast suits, started using various explosive devices and weapon attachments, and yeah, yeah, had this routine at the start of each match where Master Exploder would fire up his explosive belt and discharge fireworks *all* over the place.<end>

=>q170
そう、持ちネタはいろんなものの「マスター」で構成されることだった——マスター・スカル・スマッシャー、マスター・レーザー・ブラスター——マスター・ブレイン・バスター！

でもマスター・エクスプローダーが加わったとき、彼がほぼ乗っ取って統一テーマを与えた——全部が...*爆発*！に集中するようになった。かさばるブラストスーツを着て各種爆発物や武器アタッチメントを使い始めて、そうそう、各試合の始まりにマスター・エクスプローダーが爆発ベルトに火を入れて花火を*あたり一面*に飛ばすルーティンもあった。<end>

=>q171_original
Was pretty hardcore... until some pipeworking spectator got her hand zoned out; then they banned it. Some sources say they even used that belt for initiation, in a sense that they strapped newcoming masters with grenades so they'd get used to being... *exploded*, I guess. ::He pulls out a few more chips.::<end>

=>q171
かなりハードコアだった...あるパイプ野郎の観客が手をゾーンアウトされるまではな、そして禁止になった。新入りのマスターにグレネードを身に付けさせてベルトをイニシエーションに使ったという話もある——爆発に慣れさせるためと言うか...*爆発される*ことに、だな。::チップスをさらに何枚か取り出す。::<end>

=>a172_original
So what happened to The Masters?<end>

=>a172
ザ・マスターズはその後どうなった？<end>

=>q173_original
::He crunches on a hardcore chip.:: Mmm, so, after winning the DomiNation, The Masters had a truly dominating fallout with the Arena management; they split soon after, with only Master Exploder continuing his career as a solo gladiator. The rest, they held protests outside the Arena about, I don't know, the brutality of the sport, how the gladiators were really treated, blah, blah, that kinda crap. They did a three-sixty... No, wait - one-eighty degree turn, going from relentless killers to senseless ramblers in no time.<end>

=>q173
::ハードコア・チップスをガリガリとかじる。:: んん、そう、ドミネイションで優勝した後、ザ・マスターズはアリーナ運営と本当に制覇的な決裂をして、すぐに解散した。マスター・エクスプローダーだけがソロ格闘士として活動を続けた。残りはアリーナの外で抗議活動をした——スポーツの残虐性とか、格闘士が実際どう扱われてるかとか、まあそんな話だ。三百六十度...いや待って——百八十度の転換だな、容赦のない殺し屋からたわごとを言う人間に瞬く間になった。<end>

=>q174_original
So, the Praetorians beat them up and threw them in the slammer. After they got out, they pretty much... yeah, disappeared. The last one got out fairly recently too, eh... 

...Skull Smasher's the one, I think.<end>

=>q174
それでプラエトリアンがこいつらをボコボコにしてムショにぶちこんだ。出てきたら...そうだな、消えた。最後の一人もかなり最近出てきて、えー...

...スカル・スマッシャーだったと思う。<end>

I like it. Someone looked at the Arena and went: "Hey, this dominates, but we need something new." Poof! The Gauntlet! Coretech made some complex elevator mumbo jumbo to move runners - those are the contestants - to random rooms to fight monsters and overcome challenges.<end>

=>q210
好きだ。誰かがアリーナを見て言ったんだ：「なあ、これは制覇してるけど、新しいものが必要だ」って。ポン！ガントレット！コアテックが複雑なエレベーターのなんちゃらを作って、ランナー——参加者のことだ——をランダムな部屋に移動させてモンスターと戦い課題を克服させる。<end>

Listen pal, listen, listen. When you ask Corecitians - I know it's not a word - about the Oligarchs, you hear either praise or hate. I'll tell you something different, pal: Oligarchs have some serious inner conflicts. It's not public, it's not an all out war but it's there.<end>

=>q213
聞けよ、相棒、聞けって。コア・シティ市民——そんな言葉はないけどな——にオリガークのことを聞くと、称賛か憎しみのどちらかだ。違うことを教えてやる、相棒：オリガークには深刻な内部対立がある。<end>

=>q214_original
It's not obvious either, but you can spot certain things. Well, not you pal - I can spot it. I have Jon Vision. Anyway, it's like... When one Oligarch notices that either of the other two Oligarchs has an advantage in something, he tries to even the field in some way. Things like that. It's the little things, you know.<end>

=>q214
目立たないけど、ある種の兆候が見えてくる。まあ、お前には無理だが——おれには見える。ジョン・ビジョンがあるからな。とにかく、こんな感じだ...一人のオリガークが他の二人のどちらかが何かで優位に立っていることに気づくと、何らかの方法で均衡を保とうとする。そういうことだよ。細かいことだよ、わかるだろ。<end>

コアテックは退屈だ。高技術製品ばかり作ってる、つまり、相棒...相棒！食物生成機を作ってないじゃないか。想像してみろ！ボタンを押す...食べ物！食べ物を食べて、ボタンを押す...食べ物！<end>

I'm conflicted. I love watching ArenaNow and the Gauntlet on those street trims; I bet on my favourite gladiators, I like all that they offer. But damn, their security sometimes gives me a hard time, pal. Look, they can be such hardcore pipeworkers when they really aim their sights at it.<end>

=>q219
複雑な気持ちだ。あのトリムでアリーナ・ナウとガントレットを見るのは好きだ。好きな格闘士に賭けるし、提供してるものは全部好きだ。でもくっそ、セキュリティが時々ひどい目に遭わせるんだよ、相棒。本気になったとき、あいつらはハードコアなパイプ野郎になれる。<end>

=>q220_original
That's one thing I don't like, but the other is that they do a lot of sneaky undercover operations. Dirty stuff, pal, things that'll make the hair on your back bristle. Jon knows everything, and is very beautiful. They know that, and that's why they're giving me a hard time.<end>

=>q220
それが一つ嫌なことだが、もう一つは秘密裏の潜入作戦をたくさんやってることだ。汚い仕事だよ、相棒、背中の毛が逆立つようなことをする。ジョンは全部知ってる、そして非常に美しい。あいつらもそれを知ってる、だからおれにひどい目を遭わせるんだ。<end>

=>q225
しばらくあいつらを観察してた、相棒。おかしな連中だ。何を食べるかを見ると人の色々なことがわかる。そしてこいつらは肉を食わない。少なくとも食うのを見たことがない。<end>

=>q226_original
They are peaceful, sure. They seem smart, well educated. Sure. They got their thing going. That's all nice. But they don't eat meat. They *don't* eat meat. How can you not eat meat? If I stopped eating meat, I'd be dead in a day. I like my meat...

Don't trust them!<end>

=>q226
平和的だよ、そうだな。頭が良く、教育も受けてそうに見える。そうだな。やることはやってる。全部いい。でも肉を食わない。*肉を食わない*んだ。どうして肉を食わずにいられる？おれが肉を食うのをやめたら一日で死ぬ。肉が好きなんだ...

嫌いなバーの裏にたまると思うか？なあ、相棒、がっかりだよ。ここが好きだ——ハードコアだ！ハードコアだよ、相棒！飲み物、食べ物、飲み物と食べ物がある。雰囲気もいい。<end>

And just as you relax, have a drink, a match starts. Beautiful! That's life, pal. And then - this happens often - someone who needs some info recognizes me and approaches, and I'm one burrower burger richer. Yes!<end>

くつろいで飲んでると試合が始まる。最高だ！それが人生ってもんだよ、相棒。そして——これがよくあるんだが——情報が必要な誰かがおれを認識して近づいてきて、バロワー・バーガー一個が手に入る。そうだ！<end>

Anyway, it was probably the safer place for him to be - or so he thought. <end>

Turns out the Oligarchy got to him. 'Cause of all the stuff he's been doing a fair amount of incensed folks and, ehem, *organizations* wanna zone him out - or at least beat him into a pulp. 

Whether it's better that the oligarchs got to him before someone else... that's a hardcore question, pal. Real hardcore.<end>

しかし実際はオリガーキーに捕まった。やってきたことのせいで、怒り狂った連中——それと、えへん、*組織*——がゾーンアウトするか、少なくともボコボコにしたがってる。

That's what I'm talking about. There's an entrance to the city's utility section which might lead you to him. *Might*, if he's really there. You'll find it on this level. Just go all the way south past Halim's store, then turn west. There you'll find two concrete pillars. One of them has a ladder that leads down.

Then... you're on your own, pal. You're on your own.<end>

::Third bite.:: Opohvation Baneshment... ::Swallows.:: Operation Banishment was a clean up of all the remaining Spectres - Biocorp's elite operatives - who were still loyal to the overthrown, anti-Protectorate Biocorp directors. Patrick turned out to be quite a hero: He got a promotion for killing several of these deadly Spectres, but he was injured soon after that, so he didn't have the time to enjoy it.<end>

Hmmm, not really. Just what I told you. Former Biocorp special forces unit, deadly, all killed by Praetorian Security. Officially, at least.<end>

んー、あまり。今言ったことだけだ。元バイオコープの特殊部隊、かなりの強さ、プラエトリアン・セキュリティに全員殺された。公式には、少なくとも。<end>

Most of the information on Spectres was probably destroyed a long time ago. I don't know, pal, if you search hard enough, maybe you'll find some hardcore dope who's interested in all that stuff and knows more about it than I do, however unlikely that someone knows anything more than me.

::His stomach growls.:: Again?<end>

Actually, to be more precise, they wanted to take the train at first, but the earthquake messed up their plans. That's what I'm telling you, pal.

正確に言うと、最初は列車に乗りたかったのだが、地震で予定が狂った。そういうことだよ、相棒。線路のいくつかの区間が塞がれたので列車が止まり、その間しばらく街の周りで過ごしていた。それから列車が動き出したら、去った。<end>

=>a303_original
Do you know where they've gone to?<end>

=>a303
どこへ行ったか知ってるか？<end>

=>q304_original
Do I, pal? Do I? Come on, you're underestimating me. A little fly told me the train was headed for Rail Crossing. But whether your friends made it there or not, that is outside of my... jurisdiction. That's all I got for ya, pal. ::He nods a few times in affirmation, looking at you with his eyebrows raised. Then, he changes his focus to the eel sandwich sitting lonely in his hands before biting into it ferociously. Once again, he looks at you and nods in affirmation.::<end>

=>q304
知ってるか？知ってるよ！頼むよ、おれを舐めるな。小鳥が教えてくれたんだ、列車はレール・クロッシングに向かったって。でも友達がそこに着いたかどうかは、おれの...管轄外だ。それが全部だよ、相棒。::眉を上げてあなたを見ながら何度か頷く。それから手の中で寂しそうにしているウナギサンドに注目し、猛烈にかじりつく。もう一度あなたを見て頷く。::<end>

=>a305_original
I talked to Sneaky about your relationship.<end>

=>a305
スニーキーにお前たちの関係について聞いた。<end>

=>q306_original
So... she told you everything, huh, pal? Good. That is nice. Good.<end>

=>q306
じゃあ...全部話したんだな、相棒。いいよ。よかった。いいよ。<end>

=>a307_original
I didn't mean to offend you or anything like that.<end>

=>a307
怒らせるつもりはなかった。<end>

=>q308_original
No, I'm not offended. I mean you asked Sneaky about our relationship and she told you she left me, right? It's okay, pal, it's okay. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.<end>

=>q308
別に怒ってない。つまり、お前はスニーキーにおれたちの関係を聞いて、彼女がおれを振ったって聞いたんだろ。いいよ、相棒、いいんだ。心配しなくていい。何にも。<end>

=>a309_original
Are you sure you're okay?<end>

=>a309
本当に大丈夫か？<end>

=>q310_original
I'm feeling great! Listen, pal, it's cool. We're cool. I mean, you just unstitched a wound in my heart by mentioning her, but that's okay. Please, if you want to hurt me some more, here, put a knife right through here. ::He points to his heart.:: That's where my broken heart is.<end>

=>q310
気分は最高だ！いいか、相棒、クールだよ。全然クールだ。つまり、彼女の名前を出したことで胸の傷口がほつれたけど、それでいい。もっと傷つけたいなら、ここに刃を刺せ。::心臓を指さす。:: ここに失恋した心がある。<end>

=>a311_original
::Sigh.::<end>

=>a311
::ため息をつく。::<end>

=>q312_original
That's what I'm talking about - you understand me. We're cool, pal, we're cool. My heart won't heal, but we're cool.<end>

=>q312
それだよ、それ——お前はわかってくれる。クールだよ、相棒、クールだ。心は癒えないけど、クールだ。<end>

=>a313_original
Fine, I see you're not okay with this. I'll leave you alone.<end>

=>a313
わかった、平気じゃないのはわかった。そっとしておく。<end>

=>q314_original
I don't know what you're talking about, I'm feeling great! Listen pal, it's cool. We're cool. I mean, you just unstitched a wound in my heart by mentioning her, but that's okay. Please, if you want to hurt me some more, here, put a knife right through here. ::He points to his heart.:: That's where my broken heart is.<end>

=>q314
何を言ってるかわからない、気分は最高だ！いいか、相棒、クールだよ。全然クールだ。つまり、彼女の名前を出したことで胸の傷口がほつれたけど、それでいい。もっと傷つけたいなら、ここに刃を刺せ。::心臓を指さす。:: ここに失恋した心がある。<end>

=>a315_original
If you're gonna be like that, than we better talk about something else.<end>

=>a315
そういう態度なら、別のことを話したほうがいい。<end>

=>q316_original
Like what? I'm cool, look at me. No problems. I mean you asked Sneaky about our relationship and she told you she left me, right? It's okay, pal, it's okay. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.<end>

=>q316
何のことだ？おれはクールだよ、見ろ。何も問題ない。つまり、お前はスニーキーにおれたちの関係を聞いて、彼女がおれを振ったって聞いたんだろ。いいよ、相棒、いいんだ。心配しなくていい。何にも。<end>

=>a317_original
See you around.<end>

=>a317
またな。<end>

=>a318_original
I'll get going now.<end>

=>a318
もう行く。<end>

=>q319_original
Time for me to go, pal. <end>

=>q319
おれが行く時間だ、相棒。<end>

=>q320_original
Remember - back entrance to the Hardcore City Bar. I'll be there.<end>

=>q320
覚えておけ——ハードコア・シティ・バーの裏口だ。そこにいる。<end>

=>a321_original
::End Dialog.::<end>

=>a321
::会話を終了する。::<end>

=>q322_original
but that much I got from the way he asked his questions. <end>

=>q322
でもあいつの質問の仕方からそれだけはわかった。<end>

=>a323_original
We'll get back to that later.<end>

=>a323
それは後で話そう。<end>

=>q324_original
Sure, pal.<end>

=>q324
わかった、相棒。<end>

=>a325_original
Do I owe you anything?<end>

=>a325
何か借りはあるか？<end>

=>q326_original
Nah, I'm fed. ::Pats his belly.::<end>

=>q326
いや、腹いっぱいだ。::腹を叩く。::<end>

=>q327_original
For now...<end>

=>q327
今のところは...<end>

=>a328_original
While you're here, I had a few questions.<end>

=>a328
ここにいる間に、いくつか聞きたいことがある。<end>

=>q329_original
And I'll have the answers, pal.<end>

=>q329
答えはおれが持ってる、相棒。<end>

=>a330_original
I'll get going now.<end>

=>a330
もう行く。<end>

=>q331_original
<end>

=>q331
<end>

=>a332_original
Why can't we talk right here, right now?<end>

=>a332
なぜここで今すぐ話せないんだ？<end>

=>q333_original
I tend to do things the complicated way. See you later, pal!<end>

=>q333
おれは何でも複雑にやる傾向があってな。またな、相棒！<end>

=>a334_original
Yeah, whatever.<end>

=>a334
そうだな、どうでもいい。<end>

=>q335_original
Hey, pal, I know we'll be talking again soon. I have a seventh sense for these sort of things. Sixth is the food detector. See you later, pal!<end>

=>q335
なあ、相棒、すぐにまた話すことになるのはわかってる。こういうことには第七感があるんだ。第六感は食い物センサーだけどな。またな、相棒！<end>

=>a336_original
Charons?<end>

=>a336
カロン？<end>

=>q337_original
You're not even trying, pal. Food! In exchange for food! ::He points his index finger at his open mouth.:: Stuff you eat. ::He then rubs his belly.:: Mmmm, tummy happy. Okay, now that you hopefully get it, here's the deal: <end>

=>q337
全然努力してないな、相棒。食べ物だ！食べ物と交換だ！::口を開いて人差し指を向ける。:: 食べるものだよ。::おなかをさする。:: んんん、おなか幸せ。わかってくれたと思って、こういうことだ：<end>

=>a338_original
Bullets?<end>

=>a338
弾丸？<end>

=>a339_original
Rare and hideous creatures?<end>

=>a339
珍しくて醜い生き物？<end>

=>a340_original
Rare and beautiful creatures?<end>

=>a340
珍しくて美しい生き物？<end>

=>q341_original
I'm rare and beautiful, so I don't need that. It's food! Food! ::He points his index finger at his open mouth.:: Stuff you eat. ::He then rubs his belly.:: Mmmm, tummy happy. Okay, now that you hopefully get it, here's the deal: <end>

=>q341
おれは珍しくて美しいから、そんなものは要らない。食べ物だ！食べ物！::口を開いて人差し指を向ける。:: 食べるものだよ。::おなかをさする。:: んんん、おなか幸せ。わかってくれたと思って、こういうことだ：<end>

=>a342_original
A punch in the stomach?<end>

=>a342
腹パンチ？<end>

=>q343_original
::He pauses for a short moment.:: I'm not saying I'm not getting those from time to time, but that's not what I want, no, no. I'm talking about food! Food! ::He points his index finger at his open mouth.:: Stuff you eat. ::He then rubs his belly.:: Mmmm, tummy happy. Okay, now that you hopefully get it, here's the deal: <end>

=>q343
::少し間を置く。:: 時々そういうことがないとは言わないが、それが欲しいんじゃない、違う、違う。食べ物の話だ！食べ物！::口を開いて人差し指を向ける。:: 食べるものだよ。::おなかをさする。:: んんん、おなか幸せ。わかってくれたと思って、こういうことだ：<end>

=>a344_original
I'm listening...<end>

=>a344
聞いてる...<end>

=>a345_original
I don't need your help.<end>

=>a345
お前の助けは要らない。<end>

=>q346_original
Just because you say you don't need help doesn't mean I'm gonna stop talking, no, no. That never happened! But, before I continue, let me introduce myself properly: I'm Jon the Beautiful. Am I not? Eh? *Eh*?<end>

=>q346
お前が必要ないと言ったからって話を止めるわけじゃない、違う、違う。そんなことは起きないんだよ！でも続ける前に、きちんと自己紹介させてくれ——おれはジョン・ザ・ビューティフルだ。違うか？なあ？*なあ？*<end>

=>a347_original
What is your problem, man?<end>

=>a347
いったい何が不満なんだ？<end>

=>q348_original
What is my problem? What is *your* problem? Hey, pal, where are your manners? An absolutely, perfectly normal and beautiful person approaches you, and you behave like *that*? I'm... I'm disappointed.<end>

=>q348
おれの問題？お前の*問題*は何だ？なあ、相棒、礼儀はどこへ行った？完全に普通で美しい人間が近づいてきたのに、*そんな*態度をとるのか？おれは...がっかりだ。<end>

=>a349_original
All right, sorry. Can I actually help you somehow?<end>

=>a349
わかった、悪かった。実際に何か助けられることはあるか？<end>

=>q350_original
That's what I'm saying! Hey, pal, let's not lie to each other, the real question here is, can I help *you*?<end>

=>q350
それだよ！なあ、相棒、嘘はなしだ、本当の問題はこうだ——おれがお前の役に立てるか、だろ？<end>

=>a351_original
I don't understand anything.<end>

=>a351
何もわからない。<end>

=>q352_original
Hey, pal, listen, I highly doubt you don't understand - it just doesn't fit you! But, I'll play your game if that's what you want. Now listen, I'll ask you a simple question: Can I help *you*? <end>

=>q352
なあ、相棒、聞いてくれ、お前がわからないとは到底思えない——似合わないよ！でもそれが望みならお前のゲームに付き合う。いいか、簡単な質問をする——おれがお前の役に立てるか？<end>

=>a353_original
If I give you food, will you go away?<end>

=>a353
食べ物をあげたら行ってくれるか？<end>

=>q354_original
This is not about the food, pal. I mean it is, but it isn't. Or, it is, but not in a way you think it is. Listen, pal, let's start this again with a simple question: Can I help *you*?<end>

=>q354
食べ物の話じゃないよ、相棒。まあそうでもあるんだが、そうでもない。いや、そうではあるんだが、お前が思うような意味ではない。聞けよ、相棒、シンプルな質問からもう一度始めよう——おれがお前の役に立てるか？<end>

=>a355_original
I'll hurt you if you don't leave me alone.<end>

=>a355
そっとしておかないと痛い目に遭わせるぞ。<end>

=>q356_original
Hey, pal, I'm too beautiful for that! It just doesn't happen. Never. Hear me: Never! But, I see you're getting pissed, so how about we start over? Yes? Alright, I'll ask you a simple question: Can I help *you*?<end>

=>q356
なあ、相棒、おれには美しすぎてそんなことは起きない。絶対にない。聞けよ——絶対！でも怒ってるのはわかるから、やり直さないか？そうしよう。いいか、簡単な質問をする——おれがお前の役に立てるか？<end>

=>a357_original
I don't have any food.<end>

=>a357
食べ物を持ってない。<end>

=>q358_original
Really now, what kind of a $(#man/woman) are you? You don't have no food? Hey, pal, who do you think you're kidding? I'm disappointed... just disappointed.<end>

=>q358
本気か、お前はどんな$(#男/女)なんだ？食べ物を持ってない？なあ、相棒、誰を騙そうとしてる？がっかりだ...本当にがっかりだ。<end>

=>a359_original
Leave me alone!<end>

=>a359
ほっといてくれ！<end>

=>q360_original
You want me to leave you alone? Me? Hey, pal, a perfectly normal, beautiful person approaches you and you act like a jerk? I'm disappointed... just disappointed.<end>

=>q360
おれにそっとしておけって？おれに？なあ、相棒、完全に普通で美しい人間が近づいてきたのにそんな態度をとるのか？がっかりだ...本当にがっかりだ。<end>

=>q361_original
Hey, pal, I knew you'd find me. <end>

=>q361
なあ、相棒、お前がおれを見つけるとわかってた。<end>

=>q362_original
And just at the right time: <end>

=>q362
そしてちょうどいいタイミングで：<end>

=>q363_original
Hey, pal, got a minute? There's...<end>

=>q363
なあ、相棒、少し時間あるか？...<end>

=>a364_original
For you, always. What've you got for me?<end>

=>a364
お前のためなら、いつでも。何があるんだ？<end>

=>a365_original
::Let him continue.::<end>

=>a365
::彼が続けるのを促す。::<end>

=>a366_original
Why ask me if I got a minute when you're going to use it up anyway?<end>

=>a366
どうせ使うんだから、なぜ聞くんだ？<end>

=>q367_original
::He shrugs.:: Force of habit.<end>

=>q367
::肩をすくめる。:: 習慣でな。<end>

=>a368_original
Go on.<end>

=>a368
続けてくれ。<end>

=>a369_original
I don't have a minute.<end>

=>a369
時間がない。<end>

=>q370_original
It's important. Real important.<end>

=>q370
重要なんだ。ほんとに重要だ。<end>

=>a371_original
Alright, go on.<end>

=>a371
わかった、続けてくれ。<end>

=>a372_original
Sorry, but I don't have time for this.<end>

=>a372
悪いが、これに時間を使えない。<end>

=>q373_original
Fine, pal, fine. Like I care...<end>

=>q373
わかった、相棒、わかった。どうでもいいけどな...<end>

=>a374_original
No.<end>

=>a374
いや。<end>

=>a375_original
Don't care. Leave me alone.<end>

=>a375
興味ない。ほっといてくれ。<end>

=>a376_original
Sorry, I'm busy.<end>

=>a376
悪いが、忙しい。<end>

=>a377_original
No!<end>

=>a377
いや！<end>

=>q378_original
::He looks around, then whispers.:: Hey, pal - got food ready?<end>

=>q378
::辺りを見回してから囁く。:: なあ、相棒——食い物、用意してあるか？<end>
