chapter 13: Outside Touhou-dou
[NOTE: This scene uses both "Handa-san" and (the correct) "Iida-san", but somehow it doesn't use "Iida" in the place where her name is stuttered, showing that to be the correct reading?]
東方堂の前では、 宇波リョウが誰かに 電話をかけていた。
In front of Tohodo, Ryo uses the phone to call someone.
Unami Ryou was in front of Touhou-dou, calling someone on a cell phone.
====
あっ、それは助かったよ。 大丈夫、全然寒くは無い。
アハハハ、大丈夫、 そんなことないから。
Thanks, you saved me. I’m fine. Not cold at all.
Hahaha. I’m ok. Nope, not one bit.
[RYOU:] Oh, that's a huge help. I'm fine. It's not cold at all.
Ahahaha, it's fine. No, not at all.
----
近所のおじさんだから、 昔からの知り合いさ。
あっ…そうだね…確かに…… 飯田さんの言う通りだ……。
He’s from the neighborhood. I’ve known him for years.
Oh, yeah... Uh huh... Just like Handa said...
[RYOU:] There's this man who lives nearby. I've known him for years.
Oh... Yes, that's true... You're right about that, Iida-san...
----
わかっている…… おじさんには謝っておくよ。
わかった、待っている。
I understand... I’ll go apologize to him.
Ok, I’ll be waiting.
[RYOU:] Understood... I'll tell him I'm sorry.
Okay, I'll be waiting.
=====
「あ、ありがとうございます。 本当にすみませんでした……」
リョウは近くで待っていた 老人に携帯電話を返した。
や、やあ。おはよう……。
Th-thank you! Really I’m sorry about that.
Ryo finishes and hands it back to the old guy.
Ah, good morning.
[RYOU, offscreen:] "Thank you so much. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience..."
/Ryou handed the cell phone back to an old man who was waiting nearby./
[RYOU:] H-hey. Good morning.
----
あ~、その……またなんだ……。
またセキュリティーに 締め出されてしまってね。
Um, what’s that?
The security system is acting strange.
[RYOU:] So, well... it happened again.
The security system locked me out.
----
しかも運が悪いことに、 今日は土曜だから飯田さんが休み。
それで今、連絡していたんだ、 警備会社に電話してもらうように。
Further bad luck, today Ms. Ida has the day off.
I need to call the security company...
[RYOU:] And on top of that it's Saturday, so Iida-san has the day off.
So I need to call the security company.
----
恥ずかしい話だが、警備会社の 電話番号をぼくは覚えていない。
……しかし、やっぱり ふに落ちない……。
But I don’t know their phone number.
...But I can’t understand...
[RYOU:] It's embarrassing to admit this, but I forgot their phone number.
...You know, I really don't get it...
----
どうしてぼくは学問のことなら、 それこそ細かいことも忘れないのに、
こうした簡単なことは、 いつも忘れてしまうんだろう。
Why do I forget these things? I have a good memory.
Especially for studying.
[RYOU:] When it comes to studying, I never forget the smallest detail.
But basic things like this always slip my mind.
----
こういった事があるたび、 考え込んでしまう。
『店長らしくって、いいじゃない ですか』って飯田さんは言うが、
それもまた悩むところだよ なにが店長らしいのか?
So each time I worry about this issue.
She told me it’s who I am and not to worry.
But her words make me worry. Why am I this way?
[RYOU:] Every time something like this happens, it sets me wondering.
Iida-san says, "Don't worry. That's just how you are, Mr. Manager."
But that just makes me worry more. What's how I am?
----
こうして閉め出しを食らうことが 店長らしい、とは思わないんだが。
西条、どう思う?
どういったところが、 ぼくらしいのかわかるか君には?
I don’t think a manager should have these problems.
What do you think?
Can you tell me about my personality?
[RYOU:] I don't think managers are in the habit of getting locked out of their stores like this.
Saijou, what do you think?
What would you say she means by "how I am"?
===
[Option 1:]
>そういったところ
>I have no idea.
>The way you're acting right now.
[Option 2:]
>まったくわからない
>About myself...
I have no idea.
----
{Option 1: そういったところ | I have no idea.|The way you're acting right now.
そういったところ?
哲学的な答えだな……。
Do you think so?
A philisophical answer...
[RYOU:] The way I'm acting right now?
A philosophical answer...
----
こうして質問すること自体が、 ぼく的というのなら……。
閉め出しを食らうということ自体、 ぼく的でないということか?
You think this is me asking someone about myself...
Does it mean I should keep my store open?
[RYOU:] So if asking questions like this is "the way I am"...
...does that mean getting locked out is NOT, in itself, what's typical of me?
----
いや、待て…… 最初の定義は違ったはずだ。
閉め出しを食らった時に、 よく言われる言葉が『店長的』のはず。
No, wait. Is my definition the right one?
When I forgot the security # for my store, she said...
[RYOU:] No, wait... the definition must've been a different one to start with.
When I get locked out, what she's always saying is "typical of me".
----
ふむ、なるほど、そうだな……。
まず日常的な事をよく忘れ、 それについて疑問に思う、そして、
そのことについて質問することが、 ぼく的というわけだ。
ありがとう、クリアになったよ。
Yes! That’s it!
I forget many small things, and doubt myself, and
I ask so many questions. That is me.
Thanks. It’s clear now.
[RYOU:] Hm, yes, I see...
So I'm always forgetting basic everyday things, which causes me to wonder why...
...and then I ask questions about that. That's what "typical of me" means.
Thank you. It's all clear now.

{Option 2: まったくわからない | About myself...| I have no idea.
わからない? やはり君にも わからないか……。
そうだな、鍵を忘れること自体が 店長的と言うならば、
物忘れイコールぼくということだ。
You don’t know? Even you don’t know?
So if I forget the key, it’s who I am.
People think I forget easily.
[RYOU:] You don't? So you don't know either...
Hm. So if we assume that forgetting the code is itself "typical of me"...
...then basically she's saying that "Unami Ryou" = "forgetfulness".
----
しかしある場面では、ぼくの記憶力に 彼女は驚くことが何度もあった。
ということは、彼女の言い間違いか、 店長的というのが、違うものを指すか。
そのどちらかだろう。
But sometimes she is surprised by my good memory.
So it means I made a mistake or she did.
She assumes wrong.
[RYOU:] But there are also plenty of times when she's surprised by my good memory.
So either she's misspeaking, or else "typical of me" has a different meaning.
I wonder which it is.

====
ん? 警備会社の車が、 来たようだな。
それじゃ、失礼するよ。
Huh? Security company is coming.
Ok, I gotta go.
[RYOU:] Hm? It looks like the security company's car is here.
Excuse me.
[RYOU exits]
----
「い、飯田さん……!?」
リョウが驚いたのは 警備会社の車の中から バイトの女の子が 出てきたからだ。
Ms. Handa?
Ryo is surprised because he found the part timer get out of the security company car.
[RYOU, offscreen:] "I-Iida-san?!"
/Ryou was surprised to see that his part-time employee was the one getting out of the security company's car./
----
「飯田さんは、警備会社にも 勤めているのかい?」
「なに言っているんですか。 警備会社は家の近くだって 前言ったじゃないですか」
You work for the security company too?
Don’t you remember I live near the security company?
[RYOU, offscreen:] "Do you work for the security company too?"
[AI, offscreen:] "What are you talking about? I just told you earlier that I live right near the security company."
----
「そうだったかな……」
「だからついでに乗せてきて もらったんですよ。 せっかくだから書庫の整理を しておこうと思って。 さあ鍵が開きましたよ」
Did you...?
I asked them to drive me here, and I can help. Ok, I put in the code to open the store.
[RYOU, offscreen:] "Oh... you did?"
[AI, offscreen:] "So I asked them to give me a ride here. I thought I might as well organize the books in storage while I'm here. Okay, I've opened it up with the code."
