chapter 19: AMS Bank with Kiryuu alive
[NOTE: The old dead-Kiryuu version of this scene is here; I fixed a few lines up from my previous translation.]
無人の銀行内は、 不気味に静まり返っていた。
ヒーターが消えているからか、 冷たい夜気が忍び込み、 悪寒を感じさせる。
Ｔｈｅ ｅｍｐｔｙ ｂａｎｋ ｗａｓ ｅｅｒｉｌｙ ｑｕｉｅｔ．
Ｍａｙｂｅ ｔｈｅ ｈｅａｔｅｒ ｗａｓ ｏｆｆ， ｂｕｔ ｔｈｅ ｎｉｇｈｔ ａｉｒ ｃｒｅｐｔ ｉｎ， ｈｉｄｅｏｕｓｌｙ ｃｏｌｄ．
/The empty bank was eerily silent.
Perhaps because the heater was off, the cold night air stole in and gave [Atsuki] the chills./

バックアップ態勢は完了よ。
サイコビューイングの指向性を 極限までアップさせているから。
Ｂａｃｋｕｐ ｉｓ ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｅ！
Ｉ ｐｏｗｅｒｅｄ ｕｐ Ｐｓｙｃｈｏ－ ｖｉｅｗｉｎｇ ｄｉｒｅｃｔｉｖｉｔｙ，
[Natsuki:] [We’ve] finished preparing [your] backup!
I’ve boosted the directivity of my Psycho-Viewing to its maximum limit.
----
これでネズミ一匹動いても、
私の方でキャッチすることが できる。
ｓｏ ｉｆ ａ ｍｏｕｓｅ ｍｏｖｅｓ，
Ｉ’ｌｌ ｂｅ ｓｕｒｅ ｔｏ ｃａｔｃｈ ｉｔ．
[Natsuki:] So if even a single mouse is there...
I’ll be able to pick up on its movement.
----
だから敵の動きや思念変化に ついては、私に任せておいて。
何かあればすぐアツキに 報告するからね。
Ｌｅａｖｅ ｅｎｅｍｙ ｍｏｖｅｍｅｎｔ ＆ Ｓｈｉｎｅｎ ｃｈａｎｇｅｓ ｔｏ ｍｅ．
Ｉ’ｌｌ ｒｅｐｏｒｔ ａｓ ｓｏｏｎ ａｓ ａｎｙｔｈｉｎｇ ｈａｐｐｅｎｓ．
[Natsuki:] So leave the enemy’s movements and Thought changes to me.
I’ll let you know as soon as anything happens.
-----
…あ、来たわよ！
ちょっとマズイかも……。
Ａｈ， ｉｔ’ｓ ｈｅｒｅ！
Ｔｈｉｓ ｌｏｏｋｓ ｂａｄ．．．
[Natsuki:] ...Oh, there’s something!
This could be dangerous...
------
物凄い殺気のようなものが アツキに向かっているわ。
距離はすぐ近く……、 気をつけてアツキ！
Ａ ｓｔｒｏｎｇ ｂｌｏｏｄｌｕｓｔ ｉｓ ｃｏｍｉｎｇ ｔｏｗａｒｄｓ ｙｏｕ．
Ｉｔ’ｓ ｒｉｇｈｔ ｔｈｅｒｅ．．． Ｂｅ ｃａｒｅｆｕｌ， Ａｔｓｕｋｉ！
[Natsuki:] There’s something coming towards you, like a super powerful desire to kill.
It’s closing in fast... Look out, Atsuki!
-----
きびしさを増した冷感が ひしひしとアツキの身体を 締め付けてくる。
凍結するような冷たい空気だ。 何か得体の知れない物が 出現しかけている気配だった。
闇の中から人影がゆっくりと 浮かび上がってくる。
Ｔｈｅ ｃｏｌｄ ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇ ｍａｋｅｓ ｉｔ ｈａｒｄｅｒ， ａｓ ｉｔ ｃｌｉｎｇｓ ｔｏ Ａｔｓｕｋｉ’ｓ ｂｏｄｙ．
Ｔｈｅ ａｉｒ ｉｓ ｆｒｅｅｚｉｎｇ ｃｏｌｄ． Ｉｔ ｆｅｅｌｓ ａｓ ｉｆ ｓｏｍｅｔｈｉｎｇ ｉｓ ａｂｏｕｔ ｔｏ ａｐｐｅａｒ．
Ａ ｐｅｒｓｏｎ’ｓ ｓｈａｄｏｗ ｒｉｓｅｓ ｆｒｏｍ ｔｈｅ ｄａｒｋｎｅｓｓ．
/The frigid sensation grew more intense and tightened keenly around Atsuki’s body.
The air was so cold it felt like it was freezing. [Atsuki felt] the presence of something unknown, about to appear.
Somebody’s form emerged slowly from the darkness./
[note: 人影 is literally “person + shadow”, but it refers to a person’s outline, not the actual shadow they cast on the ground.]
------
ほうっ、これは意外だった。
もっと品性卑しいルポライターの類、 とでも思っていたのだが、
いやなんのなんの、上品で知的な 青年ではないか？
Ｏｈ， ｔｈｉｓ ｉｓ ａ ｓｕｒｐｒｉｓｅ．
Ｉ ｅｘｐｅｃｔｅｄ ａ ｌｏｗｌｙ ｓｏｒｔ ｏｆ ｒｅｐｏｗｒｉｔｅｒ，
ｂｕｔ ｈｅｒｅ ｉｓ ａ ｃｌａｓｓｙ， ｉｎｔｅｌｌｉｇｅｎｔ ｙｏｕｎｇ ｍａｎ！
[Edward:] Oh, this is unexpected.
I was expecting something more like an uncouth eyewitness journalist.
But quite the contrary! You seem quite the polished, intelligent young man.
[note: I’m.... pretty sure repowriter isn’t actually an English word, anywhere?? Not sure how it made it all the way into the voiced lines too. Apparently it’s a little different from a journalist, in that a ルポライター is on-the-spot coverage that remains as objective as possible. You may notice it’s pronounced with a rupo instead of a ripo; that’s because it’s from the French reportage, not the English reporting.]
-----
そんな青年が、なぜ私たちをゆす ろうと思い立ったのかな？
金が欲しければ、私は才能あふれる 青年には援助する用意はある。
Ｗｈｙ ｗｏｕｌｄ ａ ｂｏｙ ｌｉｋｅ ｙｏｕ ｔｈｉｎｋ ｔｏ ｅｘｔｏｒｔ ｕｓ？
Ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ｗａｎｔ ｍｏｎｅｙ， Ｉ ｃｏｕｌｄ ｈｅｌｐ ａ ｂｏｙ ｏｆ ｓｕｃｈ ｔａｌｅｎｔ．
[Edward:] What would give a young man like you the idea to try blackmailing us?
If you want money, I’m more than ready to aid such a talented young man.
------
私の下には、さまざまな能力に 秀でた者が多く集まってくるのだ。
そんな彼らに、私は多大な援助と 協力を与えてきた。
Ｉ ｈａｖｅ ｍａｎｙ ｓｕｂｏｒｄｉｎａｔｅｓ ｗｉｔｈ ｖａｒｉｏｕｓ ａｂｉｌｉｔｉｅｓ．
Ｉ’ｖｅ ｇｉｖｅｎ ｔｈｅｍ ｓｏ ｍｕｃｈ ｈｅｌｐ ａｎｄ ｃｏｏｐｅｒａｔｉｏｎ．
[Edward:] I have many skilled subordinates with different types of abilities.
I’ve given them tremendous amounts of assistance and cooperation.
------
優にそれだけで一生遊んで暮らせる ほどの金額をね。
君の訪問は、早い話そういった 提案ではないのかな？
Ｅｎｏｕｇｈ ｍｏｎｅｙ ｔｏ ｒｅｌａｘ ｆｏｒ ｔｈｅ ｒｅｓｔ ｏｆ ｔｈｅｉｒ ｌｉｖｅｓ．
Ａｎｄ ｆｒａｎｋｌｙ， ｉｓｎ’ｔ ｔｈａｔ ｗｈｙ ｙｏｕ’ｒｅ ｈｅｒｅ？
[Edward:] Enough money to live in idleness for the the rest of their lives.
Let’s make a long story short. You’re here to propose something like that, aren’t you?
------
陰惨な冷気が濃度を増し、 禍々しい雰囲気が周囲に 充満していた。
気を緩めると足元から 崩れ落ちてしまう。
Ｔｈｅ ｃｏｌｄ ｇｅｔｓ ｔｈｉｃｋｅｒ， ａｎｄ ｔｈｅ ａｉｒ ｆｉｌｌｓ ｗｉｔｈ ａｎ ｏｍｉｎｏｕｓ ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇ．
Ｉｆ Ａｔｓｕｋｉ ｄｒｏｐｓ ｈｉｓ ｇｕａｒｄ， ｈｅ’ｌｌ ｆａｌｌ ｉｎｔｏ ｉｔ．
/The chill, grim atmosphere thickened, and a sinister mood filled the air.
If [Atsuki] relaxed, he would collapse./
------
相手が思念操作をしている ことは明らかだった。
Ｉｔ’ｓ ｏｂｖｉｏｕｓ ｔｈａｔ ｈｅ’ｓ ｗｏｒｋｉｎｇ ｈｉｓ Ｓｈｉｎｅｎ．
/It was clear that the other man was manipulating [Atsuki’s] Thoughts./
========
{ROUTE 1: KIRYUU DEAD. (In this case, the text is found at the end of the bank_19 file; I assume this means that this version of the scene has Edward just standing there and using his full sprite. In the Japanese version, some of the dialogue is the same between the dead Kiryuu and living Kiryuu versions, but because the text is stored in different files, it was translated differently in the English version.)
ふふふ、まあ言わずともよい。
普通の人間ならば、気死する恐れも あるこの場に、立っていられることが、
すなわち君の素性を、 私に知らせてくれることになる。
Ｙｏｕ ｄｏｎ’ｔ ｈａｖｅ ｔｏ ｔｅｌｌ ｍｅ．

[Edward:] Heh heh heh, there’s no need to speak.
The fact that you're capable of standing here, where an ordinary human would risk fainting in terror...
...that alone tells me who and what you are.
------
よろしいフォートの諸君には、 桐生ヒビキの一件で世話になった。
今度はこちらから招待することに しよう。さあ、ついてくるがいい。

[Edward:] The good people of FORT took care of the Kiryuu Hibiki matter for me.
This time, I'm the one extending an invitation. Come with me, now.
[NOTE: This part is really annoying me because it makes it sound like HE was the one who left that Residual Thought at the Liu Yee-Hibiki fight, and then showed up at the hospital because he wanted to get rid of loose ends. But that was actually Graham!]

{ROUTE 2: Kiryuu is alive. (In this case, because Atsuki is also talking, the scene turns into one of the "talking heads" sequences, and its text is stored in the scene002 file. Some of these lines are identical to the first version in Japanese, but because the text was translated separately, they sound different in the English version.)
ふふふ、まあ言わずともよい。
普通の人間ならば、気死する恐れも あるこの場に、立っていられることが、
すなわち君の素性を、 私に知らせてくれることになる。
Ｈｅｈｅ， ｎｏ ｎｅｅｄ ｔｏ ｓａｙ ｉｔ．

[Edward:] Heh heh heh, there’s no need to speak.
The fact that you're capable of standing here, where an ordinary human would faint in terror...
...that alone tells me your identity.
[NOTE: Okay... here's the answer to the Sunawachi thing. The translator read the third line as "Sunawachi-kun", but it's supposed to be read as "sunawachi kimi".]
-----
桐生のように、俺もサイレントを 感染させられるのかな？
彼は助かったよ。
Ｊｕｓｔ ｌｉｋｅ Ｋｉｒｙｕ， Ｉ ｍａｙ ａｌｓｏ ｂｅ ｉｎｆｅｃｔｅｄ ｂｙ Ｓｉｌｅｎｔ．
Ｈｅ ｓａｖｅｄ ｍｅ．
[ATSUKI:] Will I be infected by Silent like Kiryuu?
He was saved.
------
我々のメンバーに心を喰われたの が逆によかったようだ。
あのままサイレントに感染された ままで放っておくと、
いつか彼の心の自我は なくなっていたかもしれない。
Ｉｔ ｗｏｕｌｄ’ｖｅ ｂｅｅｎ ｂｅｔｔｅｒ ｉｆ ｏｕｒ ｍｉｎｄｓ ｈａｄ ｂｅｅｎ ｅａｔｅｎ．

Ａｆｔｅｒ ａ ｗｈｉｌｅ， ｈｅ ｗｏｎ’ｔ ｅｖｅｎ ｂｅ ｈｉｍｓｅｌｆ ａｎｙｍｏｒｅ．
[ATSUKI:] I guess it was actually better that he had his mind eaten by one of our members.
If he'd gone on like that with an untreated Silent infection...
His inner self could have vanished one day.
-------
まあ自分の意思とは異なる思念で 動かされている時点で、
そんなもの生きているとは 言えないけどね。

[ATSUKI:] Well, when you're being controlled by someone else's Thoughts that are different from your own will...
...that's not really "living" at all.
------
よろしいフォートの諸君には、 桐生ヒビキの一件で世話になった。
