The Summoned Beasts of Fire

Crimson scorching heat burns in the dead of night——
[Two] colossal forms confront each other, their bodies shrouded in flames that are falsely similar.
There were two 《Summoned Beasts of Fire》 in that place.

A Flame Summoned

The night burns red as twin titans clash.
Dressed in flame, they vie for dominance—one a beacon of hope, the other an aberration, an of front to the very laws of nature.
There is no room in this world for both, for there can be only one Eikon of Fire.

火の召喚獣

夜陰を焦がす紅蓮の灼熱——
対峙する巨体、その身を覆いし似て非なる炎。
そこには、2体の《火の召喚獣》がいた。

Dominant Assassination

873 CC at Nysa Gorge.
On a battlefield where the armies of the Republic of Dhalmekia and the Iron Kingdom clash,
an Assassin Unit of 《Brand-Bearers》 begins their life-or-death mission.

To Kill a Dominant

As dawn breaks over the Nysa Defile in the 873rd year of the Valisthean calendar,
the armies of Dhalmekia and the Iron Kingdom gather, and their Eikons—Titan of the republic and Shiva of the orthodoxy—make ready to take the field.
Meanwhile, high above it all, a small party of Branded assassins survey the battlefield like hawks in search of prey.

ドミナント暗殺

大陸暦873年ニサ峡谷。
ダルメキア共和国･鉄王国の両軍がぶつかる戦場で、
《印持ち》の暗殺部隊は命がけの任務を開始する。

A Knight’s Pride

Time goes back to 860 CC at Rosalith Castle.
Clive wakes up in a corner of the training grounds where the soldiers assemble.
With a Knight’s pride in his heart, he strives to train with the General.

Kokuyōka: “Knight” is in katakana English and so is the title and not the profession/job.

Pride

It is the year 860,
and with the coming of spring does green once again return to the Grand Duchy of Rosaria.
In the baileys of Rosalith Castle, men who have sworn their swords to their country train in anticipation of coming conflict—
—and it is here that one young man in particular endeavors to prove himself worthy to the ones he loves.

ナイトの誇り

時は遡り、大陸暦860年ロザリス城。
兵士たちが集う訓練場の一角で目を覚ますクライヴ。
ナイトの誇りを胸に、将軍との稽古に励む。

Approaching Twilight

The Duchy of Rosaria is preparing for war against its long-time archenemy, the Iron Kingdom.
In order to protect Joshua, who is also the Dominant of Phoenix,
Clive resolves to go to the war-front.

Sunrise, Sunset

As the duchy readies itself for war with the Iron Kingdom, its most bitter and longstanding of rivals,
so too does Clive prepare to do his duty as First Shield of Rosaria—
—to protect and serve his brother Joshua, Dominant of the Phoenix.

迫る黄昏

長年の宿敵･鉄王国との戦を控えるロザリア公国。
フェニックスのドミナントでもあるジョシュアを守るため、
クライヴは出征を決意する。

Through the Deep Fog

The Archduke, [Clive’s] father, gave orders that he was to [go on] an investigative mission into the Goblin Tribes.
Clive, together with his subordinates, headed towards Stillwind
and personally saw the effects of 《The Black Region》’s damage to the territory.

Lost in a Fog

Bade by his father, the archduke, to address reports of the ever-spreading Blight having driven a horde of goblins into Rosarian territory,
Clive journeys to the swamps of Stillwind accompanied by a pair of loyal Shields of the duchy.

迷霧を越えて

父たる大公が命じたのは、ゴブリン族の調査任務。
クライヴは、部下と共に向かったスティルウィンドで、
領地を蝕む《黒の一帯》の影響を目の当たりにする。

A Chance Encounter

Time returns to the present day, 873 CC at Nysa Gorge.
Clive, also known as “Wyvern”, regained consciousness and was told to continue the mission.
With traces of the summoned beast’s mighty power in the corners of his eyes, he continues on his suicide mission.

A Chance Encounter

The year is once again 873 and
Clive has returned from his reverie to the chaos that smolders in the wake of Shiva and Titan’s terrible encounter.
Tiamat reminds Wyvern of their mission and that there is no escaping the inexorable fate of the Branded.

邂逅

時は現在に戻り、大陸暦873年ニサ峡谷。
意識が戻った“ワイバーン”ことクライヴは任務続行を告げられる。
召喚獣の強大な力の痕跡を横目に、決死行は続く。

The Man Named Cid

Cid invites Clive to his hideaway.
It is a 《Sky Civilization》 ruin in the Black Region.
There was a freedom there that distinguished it from the outside world.

Hide, Hideaway

Promising succor, Cid welcomes Clive into his deadlands sanctuary
hidden deep within the ruins of a lost civilization.
There, Clive discovers something that had eluded him for nigh thirteen years—freedom.

シドという男

シドは、自らの隠れ家にクライヴを招く。
黒の一帯にある《空の文明》の遺跡。
そこには、外界とは一線を画す自由があった。

A Dominant’s Whereabouts

News of someone resembling the Dominant of Fire reaches Cid.
After many years of searching, [Clive] cannot let his younger brother’s killer get away——
Burning with revenge, Clive decides to act together with Cid.

Fanning Embers

Word of a Dominant of Fire spotted in a nearby village
convinces Clive to set aside any misgivings he might have surrounding Cid and his motives and join the man—
—though only for as long as his desire for revenge demands it.

ドミナントの行方

シドのもとに届く《火のドミナント》らしき者の報せ。
長年捜し続けた弟の仇を、逃すわけにはいかない——
復讐に燃えるクライヴは、シドと行動を共にする。

Disquieting Silence

In the Greatwood, Clive and Cid encountered
the Kingdom of Waloed’s Spy Unit, commanded by Benedikta.
Feeling disquieted, the two hurried to Lostwing.

Louder than Words

While traveling through the Greatwood, Clive and Cid happen upon
a small party of Waloeder intelligencers captained by a woman from Cid’s past—Benedikta Harman.
Left with more questions than answers, the pair continue on to Lostwing.

不穏な静寂

クライヴとシドがグレートウッドで遭遇したのは、
ベネディクタ率いるウォールード王国の密偵部隊だった。
不穏な気配に、ふたりはロストウィングへ急ぐ。

The Dark of Night

The Dominant of Fire fell into the hands of Benedikta and her unit.
While Gav investigates his whereabouts, Clive and Cid
collect leads from the Lostwing villagers.

The Dead of Night

The Dominant of Fire has fallen into the hands of Benedikta’s intelligencers
and Clive, Cid, and Gav must scramble
to gather information on their quarry’s whereabouts.

夜の底

火のドミナントは、ベネディクタたちの手に落ちた。
ガブがその行方を探る間、クライヴとシドも、
ロストウィングの村人から手がかりを集めることにする。

The Dominant of Wind

Clive and Cid infiltrated Norvant Fortress.
Benedikta Harman stands in the way of the two
who are searching for the Dominant of Fire and the Bearers.

Headwind

In their pursuit of the missing Dominant and Lostwing’s Bearers,
Clive and Cid must infiltrate a nearby Sanbrequois fortress now teeming with Waloeder soldiers.
Fortunately for both of them, Clive knows of a secret entrance.

風のドミナント

ノルヴァーン砦に潜入したクライヴとシド。
火のドミナントとベアラーたちを捜すふたりの前に、
ベネディクタ･ハーマンが立ちはだかる。

Signs of a Storm

Clive absorbed Garuda’s power from Benedikta.
Amid such an unforeseen situation, flames rise in the fortress.
Still not understanding why, Clive and Cid escape from the fortress.

Wings of Change

Clive’s spar with the Dominant of Wind not only ends in victory, but sees him wrest away her Eikon’s very essence and claim it for his own.
But before he or Cid can make heads or tails of this curious turn of events,
an explosion rocks the caer, prompting a hurried evacuation.

嵐の兆し

ベネディクタから、ガルーダの力を吸収したクライヴ。
そんな予期せぬ事態の傍ら、砦に上がる火の手。
わけの分からぬまま、クライヴとシドは砦を脱出する。

Heavy Shackles

Thirteen years ago, the Summoned Beast of Fire who killed his younger bother was [Clive] himself——
Unable to accept that reality, Clive sinks into despair.
[While] Clive was like that, Cid took him outside [the Hideaway].

Kokuyōka: “despair” here has both the idea of “despair/desperation” and “self-abandonment”.

The Wages of Guilt

Clive discovers that the second Dominant of Fire, the one who slew his brother thirteen years before, was none other than he himself.
His resolve to see Joshua’s murderer put to the sword undiminished, he begs for Cid to grant
him death—
—but Cid has other plans for his tortured ward.

重い枷

13年前、弟を殺めた火の召喚獣は自分自身だった——
その事実を受け入れられず、自暴自棄になるクライヴ。
シドはそんなクライヴを外へと連れ出す。

[Their] Respective Thoughts

Cid brings Clive along to Kingsfall.
He says that Gav, who is still pursuing the Dominant of Fire, will join up with them there.
But, they sense the presence of Sanbreque soldiers, and the two are separated.

The Hunter and the Hunted

Gav has been tracking the one of the citizens of Lostwing believed to be a Dominant of Fire—the same man who reduced Caer Norvent to cinders—and sends word to Cid that he has picked up the scent of their quarry.
However, it seems the forces of Sanbreque are also on Gav’s trail, as en route to rendezvous with him at the Kingsfall, Cid and Clive hear the unmistakable sound of an imperial hunting whistle.
They split up and race to his rescue.

それぞれの想い

シドはクライヴを連れてキングスフォールへ。
いまだ火のドミナントを追うガブと合流するという。
だが、ザンブレク兵の気配を感じたふたりは散開する。

Nostalgia

To verify the reality of [what happened] thirteen years ago at Phoenix Gate,
Clive, together with Jill, descends onto Rosarian soil.
The two advance through their homeland, which has now lost its shape as a country.

Homecoming

Clive and Jill make for Phoenix Gate to ascertain the truth of the tragedy that occurred there thirteen years before—a tragedy that led to them both being abducted from Rosaria and enslaved by their enemies.
They are soon to find that the intervening years have been no kinder to the land in which they were raised then they were to them.

望郷

フェニックスゲートで13年前の真実を確かめるため、
クライヴはジルと共にロザリアの地に降り立つ。
もはや国の形を失った故郷を、ふたりは進む。

To the North

Clive and Jill part from Cid at Martha’s Inn,
and resume their journey to Phoenix Gate.
The two decide to stop by Eastpool on the way.

Holding On

At Martha’s Rest, Clive and Jill cross paths with Cid, and say their final farewells before continuing their journey.
The road ahead leads north through Rhiannon’s Ride to Eastpool, then on to Phoenix Gate.

北へ

マーサの宿でシドと別れ、
フェニックスゲートへの旅を再開するクライヴとジル。
ふたりは道中、イーストプールへ立ち寄ることにする。

Reality’s Whereabouts

Phoenix Gate remains the same disastrous scene it was thirteen years ago.
[There,] a man who resembled the Dominant of Fire disappeared into the Underground.
To understand the reality [of what happened], Clive and Jill pursue the man.

Buried Memories

The ruins of Phoenix Gate are still and silent, much as they were on the day after the disaster thirteen years before.
Yet amidst the shattered stonework and blackened beams that Clive recognizes only too well, he catches sight of something entirely unexpected—the hooded man he has long been chasing.
Desperate to uncover the truth, Clive and Jill pursue the figure into the catacombs.

真実の在り処

13年前の惨状そのままのフェニックスゲート。
その地下へと、火のドミナントらしき男は姿を消した。
真実をつかむため、クライヴとジルは男の後を追う。

The Reason I was Kept Alive

Clive acknowledged that he is 《Ifrit, the Summoned Beast of Fire》
and accepted himself.
He decides to move forward once again in order to understand the reality of it.

Kokuyōka: The quest title is a line Clive says to Jill after going through the Phoenix Gate Remains.

The Meaning of Life

Clive finally accepts the truth:
that he is the Dominant of Ifrit, the second Eikon of Fire.
Along with this knowledge, he finds a new purpose—to unravel the mystery of why he was chosen to bear this burden, and to live not for revenge, but to atone for the crimes he committed thirteen years before.

生かされた意味

自身が《火の召喚獣イフリート》であることを認め、
己を受け入れたクライヴ。
真実を知るため、再び前へ進むと決意する。

In a Tilting World

Having seen Anabella’s Eastpool Purge with their own eyes,
Clive and Jill are seized by righteous indignation.
In order to abolish this disastrous scene, the two return to Cid’s side.

Righting Wrongs

Still reeling from the atrocity they witnessed at Eastpool—
—one ordered by none other than Clive’s own mother, the Empress Anabella—
—Clive and Jill return to the hideaway to consult with Cid as to what might be done.

傾く世界で

アナベラによるイーストプール粛清を目の当だりにし、
義憤に駆られるクライヴとジル。
この惨状を打破すべく、ふたりはシドのもとへ戻る。

Cid the High Criminal

Five years after the destruction of Drake’s Head and Cid’s death——
Although called 《Cid the High Criminal》 and shunned by the world,
Clive appeared to save the Bearers.

Cid the Outlaw

Five years have come and gone since the fall of Drake’s Head and the tragic death of Cid, the man who saved Clive and Jill from slavery and changed their lives forever.
In that time, Clive has taken up his mentor’s name and the mantle of outlaw that he might continue Cid’s legacy
and see the chains struck from the realm’s downtrodden.

大罪人シド

ドレイクヘッドの消滅とシドの死から5年——
《大罪人シド》と呼ばれ、世人から疎まれようとも、
ベアラーたちを救うクライヴの姿があった。

The New Hideaway

The new Hideaway is in a wrecked airship that crashed into Bennu Lake.
People, Bearers, Dominants…
For the companions living there, there are no boundaries [between them].

Home, Sweet Home

Amidst the fallen dreams of a people long faded, Clive and his friends strive to realize a new dream—
—a dream wherein people of all backgrounds, be they man, Bearer, or Dominant,
can live on terms of their own choosing.

新たな隠れ家

新たな隠れ家は、ベンヌ湖に墜ちた飛空艇の残骸。
人、べアラー、ドミナント。
そこに暮らす仲間たちに、境界などない。

Dark Clouds Gather

While every country’s ambitions squirm concerning the Crystalline Dominion,
Martha, a collaborator in the Vassal State of Rosaria, has vanished without a trace.
Dark clouds rapidly spread across the continually tilting world.

The Gathering Storm

With all eyes focused on the Crystalline Dominion,
the fringes have begun to slowly fall into disarray as rumors of unspeakable atrocities abound.
To make matters worse, trusted ally and friend to man and Bearer alike, Martha, has gone missing from her inn.

暗雲来たりて

クリスタル自治領をめぐり、各国の思惑が蠢くなか、
属領ロザリアで、協力者のマーサが消息を絶つ。
傾き続ける世界に、暗雲が急速に広がっていく。

To Port Isolde

The next target is Drake’s Breath, which emerges from a distant sea——
Clive, together with Jill, aims for Port Isolde,
in order to barrow a ship from Byron, his uncle.

Bloodlines

Before Clive and Jill might claim their second Mothercrystal, they must first secure passage to the distant Iron Kingdom—
—something Clive believes his long-lost uncle in Port Isolde might be able to provide them…
assuming they can get there first.

ポートイゾルデヘ

次なる標的は、絶海に浮かぶドレイクブレス——
クライヴは、叔父であるバイロンから船を借りるべく、
ジルと共にポートイゾルデを目指す。

A Reunion

In Rosaria, the Black Knights’ Bearer Purges run rampant.
Clive and Jill are outraged by Anabella’s barbaric acts,
and learn of a mysterious organization called 《The Guardians of the Embers》.

Black Light Burns

The taint of Empress Anabella’s cruelty spreads without cease across the land Clive and Jill once called home,
but there are those who would stand against the dark tide. Those such as the Guardians of the Flame.

再会

黒騎士により、ベアラーの粛清がはびこるロザリア。
アナベラの蛮行に憤りを覚えるクライヴとジルは、
《種火の守り手》という謎の組織を知る。

The Country of Iron

The two successfully borrowed a ship from Byron and returned to the Hideaway.
Clive again verifies the current situation regarding
the Iron Kingdom, which rules Drake’s Breath.

Here Be Monsters

The ship Clive secured from his Uncle Byron is moored safely in the harbor of Port Isolde, waiting to ferry him and Jill to the isle of Drustanus, where Drake’s Breath rises from the Boiling Sea.
The two return to the hideaway to
complete their final preparations to bring down not only the Mothercrystal, but the Patriarch who saw Jill enslaved and forced to kill for his kingdom.

鉄の国

無事にバイロンから船を借り、隠れ家に戻ったふたり。
ドレイクブレスを支配する鉄王国について、
クライヴは改めて現状を確認する。

Decisions

The destruction of Drake’s Breath and the punishment of High Priest Imreann——
Clive and Jill accomplished both and returned to the Hideaway.
A moment of rest arrives for them.

Kokuyōka: “punishment” can have the idea of “killing someone in the name of justice” or “executing” them… Which is exactly what Jill does.

After the Storm

Drake’s Breath is destroyed, and Imreann slain.
Clive and Jill return to the hideaway to rest, relax, and celebrate a job well done.

決断

ドレイクブレスの破壊と、大司祭イムランの成敗——
いずれもやり遂げ、隠れ家に戻ったクライヴとジル。
ふたりにひとときの休息が訪れる。

Cid and Hugo

The castle town of Rosalith is being assaulted by Hugo’s forces.
Even though Clive knew it was a trap to lure him out,
he plunged into the fires of war alongside Jill and Gav.

Capital Punishment

Hugo Kupka learns of Cid’s true identity, and marshals his loyal minions to march on Rosalith—the city in which Clive was born and raised.
Though full aware that this is naught but another of Kupka’s traps, Clive jumps at the chance to put the hideaway’s longtime enemies to the sword.
With Jill and Gav in support, he infiltrates the former ducal capital, where battle between Kupka’s Men of the rock and its imperial occupiers still rages, and together, they make their way to the castle, where Kupka awaits.

シドとフーゴ

フーゴの一団により、急襲を受けるロザリス城下。
クライヴは、自分をおびき出すための罠と知りつつも、
ジル、ガブと共に戦火の中に飛び込んでいく。

Returning Home

Clive got the better of Hugo in their one-on-one duel,
but the appearance of a mysterious man caused him to let [Hugo] get away before he could deliver the finishing blow.
Clive and His Crew had no choice but to return home to the Hideaway for the moment.

Capital Punishment

Kupka is defeated—
—but before Clive can land the finishing blow, the downed Dominant is spirited away by a mysterious man from Waloed.
Our heroes return to the hideaway to try to make sense of these strange developments.

帰還

フーゴとの一騎打ちを制したクライヴだったが、
謎の男の登場で、とどめを刺す前に逃がしてしまう。
クライヴたちはやむを得ず、一度隠れ家に帰還する。

Inquiring of the Sands

Hugo is heading to Drake’s Fang via the desert——
Clive and Byron attempt to cross the desert
in pursuit of the group from Waloed who assisted in his escape.

Riddle of the Sands

Vivan succeeds in piecing together the puzzle of Hugo’s disappearance—
—his Waloeder allies carried him across the Velkroy Desert to his home in the heart of Drake’s Fang, where he remains to this day.
Clive and Byron waste no time in giving chase.

砂塵に問う

フーゴは砂漠経由でドレイクファングへ向かっている——
その逃走を手引きしたウォールードの一団を追って、
クライヴとバイロンは砂漠越えに挑む。

With a New Resolve

Clive finally got revenge on Hugo and returned home to the Hideaway.
Drake’s Fang was destroyed and [the Hideaway Crew] consoles the souls of their dead companions.
The story reaches a new phase.

Out of the Shadow

Clive returns to the hideaway and sets about spreading the glad tidings that Hugo Kupka—the man who crushed their former home and saw many of their friends slaughtered—is no more.
Those who lost their lives that fateful night are avenged, and those lucky enough to survive can now live without fear that he might one day return.

決意を新たに

ついにフーゴを討ち、隠れ家に帰還したクライヴ。
ドレイクファングの破壊と、死んだ仲間への鎮魂。
物語は新たな局面を迎える。

To the Crystalline Dominion

The final Mothercrystal on the Wind Continent: Drake’s Tail.
In order to try destroying it, Clive and Jill
head out to scout the Crystalline Dominion, which is under Sanbreque’s control.

Onward

Only a single Mothercrystal remains in Storm—Drake’s Tail, in the Crystalline Dominion.
Clive and Jill set out to breach the borders of the Dominion and infiltrate its capital, Twinside—now the besieged seat of the Holy Empire of Sanbreque.

クリスタル自治領へ

風の大陸最後のマザークリスタル･ドレイクテイル。
その破壊に挑むため、クライヴとジルは、
ザンブレク支配下のクリスタル自治領偵察へ向かう。

The Rumbling World

Clive and His Crew escaped the collapsing Self-Governing Dominion, and returned to the Hideaway
via Joshua, who became Phoenix.
However, the dark clouds covering the sky bring chaos to the world.

Things Fall Apart

Upon the Phoenix’s wings,
Joshua flies his allies away from the still-smoldering ruins of the Crystalline Dominion and home to the hideaway.
Alas, what should have been his happy reunion with Clive and Jill is overshadowed by the roiling clouds that have spread across the realm, driving all who wallow beneath them to desperation and despair.

鳴動する世界

フェニックスとなったジョシュアによって、
崩壊する自治領を脱し、隠れ家に戻ったクライヴたち。
しかし、空を覆う暗雲が世界に混乱をもたらしていく。

Light and Darkness

A hoard of Akashic suddenly descended on the Free City of Kanver.
In order to help Mid, Gav, and Byron, who failed to escape,
Clive heads towards Kanver with Jill and Joshua.

Cloak and Dagger

An army of Akashic have gathered at the walls of Kanver,
trapping Mid, Byron, and Gav in the Free Cities where they scramble frantically to complete work on Mid’s ship, the Enterprise.
Fearing the worst, Clive makes their friends’ rescue his top priority.

光と闇と

自由都市カンベルに、突如押し寄せたアカジアの大群。
逃げ遅れたミド、ガブ、バイロンを救うため、
クライヴはジル、ジョシュアと共にカンベルへ向かう。

The Fall of Kanver

Clive and His Crew successfully joined up with Mid and the others,
and learn about the abnormalities of the Akashic assaulting Kanver.
Then they set out to search the urban areas to rescue survivors.

Evenfall

Reunited with his companions,
Clive learns of the peril the Free Cities face.
Enlisting the help of Jill and his brother, they set out into the sprawling metropolis to locate and rescue survivors.

カンベル陥落

ミドたちと無事に合流を果たしたクライヴたちは、
カンベルを襲うアカシアの異常性を知る。
そこで、生存者を救出すべく市街地の捜索へ乗り出す。

A Tiny Wish

The final component needed to adjust the 《Mythril Engine》——
Clive searches the Hideaway for Cid’s parting gift,
in order for the Enterprise to set sail.

A Song of Hope

The Enterprise is but a final piece from completion.
Unfortunately, not even Mid knows what that piece might be—though she hazards her father did.
Clive returns to the hideaway to trace the footsteps of a friend.

小さな希望

《ミスリル機関》の調整に必要な最後の部品——
エンタープライズを出港させるため、
クライヴは隠れ家で、シドの置き土産を探すことに。

Enterprise, Set Sail!

Clive and His Crew hurry to prepare the Enterprise to set sail,
in order to pursue the Einherjar, which had Jill on board and had headed out to sea.
However, the shipyard was assaulted by Waloed’s troops.

Full Steam

The vessel complete and her mythril engines humming,
Mid makes to pursue the Einherjar that they might rescue Jill from the King of Waloed’s clutches.
However, before Clive and the others can board, the Ironworks’s hidden cove is overtaken by a company of Akashic knights bent on violence.

エンタープライズ出港せよ

ジルを乗せ、海上に出たアインヘリアルを追うため、
エンタープライズの出港に向けて急ぐクライヴたち。
しかし、造船所はウォールード軍の急襲を受ける。

To the Ash Continent

To carry everything for the sake of being a person, and fight his fate to the very end.
Clive hardened his resolve, and started moving to
destroy Drake’s Spine, the final Mothercrystal.

Across the Narrow

But one Mothercrystal now remains in all of Valisthea.
To see balance restored to the realm and ensure humanity’s place within it secured,
the final heart must be destroyed.

灰の大陸へ

人であるためにすべてを背負い、最後まで運命と戦う。
クライヴはその決意を固め、最後のマザークリスタルである、
ドレイクスパインの破壊に動き出す。

Traveling Down a Dark Road

Clive, Joshua, and Gav landed on the Ash Continent.
Aiming for the royal capital of Stonehill, where Drake’s Spine is,
the group advances down a dark road.

Footfalls in Ash

Having made land once again on Ash’s treacherous Shadow Coast,
Clive, Joshua, and Gav begin their lonely march northeast
to Stonhyrr, royal capital of Waloed.

闇路を往く

灰の大陸に降り立ったクライヴ、ジョシュア、ガブ。
ドレイクスパインのある王都ストーンヒルを目指し、
一行は闇路を進む。

The King of Sacrifice

Clive left Gav and the others in a village and headed towards Fantasy Spire.
To settle things with Barnabas,
he climbed to the spire’s summit together with Torgal.

The Last King

Torgal at his side, Clive sets out for the ancient spire of Reverie
where the ageless king of Ash, Barnabas Tharmr, awaits atop its crown.

贄の王

ガブたちを村に残し、幻想の塔へと向かったクライヴ。
バルナバスとの決着をつけるため、
トルガルと共に、塔の頂上へと登っていく。

The Road to Monster City

If Ifrit Risen is the form that Ultima is searching for,
then what is ahead is nothing but a battle for Clive and his brother.
The two go straight to Drake’s Spine, where Ultima waits.

Brotherhood

The mural at Gjallarhorn has revealed that it is not only Ifrit that Ulitma covets for his vessel, but both Ifrit and the Phoenix.
Their resolve renewed, the brothers Rosfield begin the final leg of their journey from Eistla to the capital.

魔都への道

イフリート･リズンがアルテマの求める姿なら、
これより先は、クライヴたち兄弟の戦いでしかない。
ふたりは一路、アルテマの待つドレイクスパインへ。

Monster City Riot

Clive and His Crew step foot in the royal capital of Stonehill.
In the strange landscape entirely filled with aspects of the ravages of war,
the two aim for the Crystal Shrine beyond the royal castle.

Streets of Madness

Clive and Joshua arrive in Stonhyrr to find it abandoned of royalists
but teeming with something far worse.
They must find their way through the city if they are to gain the inner sanctum and bring an end to mankind’s cruel fate.

魔都騒乱

王都ストーンヒルに足を踏み入れたクライヴたち。
まるで戦禍の様相をたたえる異様な景色の中、
ふたりは、王城の先にあるクリスタル神殿を目指す。

Origin

Finally, all the Mothercrystals in the world have disappeared.
However, an ominous black mass appeared in the sky——《Origin》.
Clive decides that place is the site of his decisive battle with Ultima.

Back to Their Origin

The final Mothercrystal has fallen, but a new one has risen in its place.
A stain on the horizon, filling the hearts of all who look upon it with dread—Origin.
There, deep inside, a reckoning awaits.

オリジン

ついに世界からすべてのマザークリスタルが消えた。
しかし、空に現れた禍々しき黒塊——《オリジン》。
クライヴは、そこをアルテマとの決戦の地に定める。

Echoes of the Sky

There was a mysterious dusk crystal Charon obtained on the black market.
It suggested the existence of an unknown Mothercrystal.
So Clive and His Crew go to investigate its source.

Pursuing the dusk crystals, Clive and His Crew finally arrived at Sage Spire,
where they witnessed the threats of the Sky Civilization, such as Omega.
The echoes of the sky that had continued since ancient times now finally ceased resounding.

Echoes of the Fallen

Charon reveals that a new kind of crystal has lately appeared on the black market—
—strange, spiritless shards known as “dusk crystals,” which she wagers were mined from a heretofore undiscovered Mothercrystal.
Clive sets out to investigate.

Clive follows the dusk crystals’ trail to the Sagespire, where he unearths the frightful fruit of the Fallen’s experiments into crafting crystals—
—the heart-powered Eikonoklaste Omega most frightful among them.
Though he and his allies best the godslayer in battle, the folly of their forebears weighs heavily upon them.

空の残響

カローンが闇市場で手に入れた、謎多きダスククリスタル。
それは知られざるマザークリスタルの存在を示唆していた。
クライヴたちは、その出どころを探ることになる。

ダスククリスタルを追い、賢者の塔に辿り着いたクライヴたちは、
オメガをはじめとした空の文明の脅威を目の当たりにする。
そして古より続いていた空の残響は、今ようやく鳴り止んだ。

The Bridge Leading to Eastpool

To head towards Phoenix Gate,
the bridge leading to Eastpool must be repaired.
So Clive and Jill went down to the marsh to meet the carpenter.

The carpenter was being attacked by monsters in the swamp.
The two helped the carpenter and requested that the bridge be repaired.

Building Bridges

In order to continue on their way to Phoenix Gate, Clive and Jill must see the bridge to Eastpool rebuilt.
They make their way down into the marshes in search of Martha’s wayward carpenter.

After Clive and Jill save the carpenter from certain death at the claws of maddened monsters,
he thanks them by getting to work on a new bridge.

イーストプールに続く橋

フェニックスゲートへ向かうには、
イーストプールに続く橋を修理せねばならないという。
そこで、クライヴとジルは大工を迎えに湿地へ下りる。

大工は湿地で魔物に襲われていた。
ふたりは大工を助け、橋の修理を依頼するのだった。

The Life of a Bearer

If it’s a Bearer, [people] will abandon even the child they gave birth to——
Clive and Jill personally witnessed this word’s common practice.
Martha asked the two of them to run an errand to the abbey.

The abbey sheltered petrified Bearers.
The two watched the Bearers suffer as they neared death,
and once again came to know the harshness of life.

A Bearer’s Lot

Clive and Jill are shocked to hear how Bearers are hated in their former homeland.
Martha ushers them to the nearby Glaidemond Abbey, that they might learn the full truth.

At the abbey, Clive and Jill come face to face with the horrific fate awaiting most Bearers—
—to slowly and painfully turn to stone over a lifetime of servitude.
It is all Martha and her allies can do to soothe their suffering in their final hours.

ベアラーという命

ベアラーなら、腹を痛めた我が子でも捨てる——
この世界の常識を目の当たりにしたクライヴとジル。
マーサは、そんなふたりに修道院への使いを頼む。

修道院では石化したベアラーたちが保護されていた。
ふたりは苦しみながら死にゆくベアラーを見て、
改めてその過酷な人生を思い知るのだった。

The Rosaria of Distant Days

At the request of the Mayor of Eastpool,
Clive is to meet a certain Bearer.

He was a sorrowful old man who adored his late father,
the Archduke Elwin, and longed for the former Rosaria.

Back in the Day

The Mayor of Eastpool asks Clive to meet with an elderly Bearer who resides in his village—
—a former loyal servant of Clive’s father, Archduke Elwin.

Clive meets with the elderly Bearer, who mistakes him for his father.
Rather than dispelling his fantasy, Clive plays along with it, that the Bearer might be granted a little of the happiness he had been long denied.

遠き日のロザリア

イーストプールの村長の頼みで、
クライヴは、とあるベアラーに会うこととなる。

それは、今は亡き父･大公エルウィンを敬愛し、
かつてのロザリアに焦がれる悲しき老人だった。

Madame’s Worries

With Isabelle’s collaboration, Clive successfully passed through the checkpoint.
In return, he searches for a prostitute from
《The Veil of Night》, whose whereabouts are unknown.

However, when the prostitute was found, she had come to a pitiful end.
Clive leaves Isabelle’s side, still burdened with melancholy.

The Dame

With the Dame at his side, Clive safely navigates the gates of Northreach and is one step closer to the imperial capital.
However, before he can continue his journey, he must first assist the Veil’s proprietress in locating an associate recently gone missing.

Clive’s investigation leads him to a grassy knoll outside the village of Moore where he finds the body of the courtesan Tatienne.
Having delivered the ill tidings to Isabelle, he heads to the abandoned church about Moore to meet Jill and Cid.

マダムの憂い

イサベルの協力で、関所を無事に越えたクライヴ。
その見返りとして、行方知れずとなっている、
《夜のとばり》の娼婦を捜すことになる。

しかし、見つかった娼婦は無残な姿になり果てていた。
物憂さを抱えたまま、クライヴはイサベルの元を去る。

The Winds of a Purge

In Rosaria, where crackdowns on Bearers are intensifying,
garrison soldiers broke into the inn and abducted Martha.
Clive and Jill pursued the soldiers to Sorrow Bay.

Clive and His Crew encounter 《The Black Knights》 at the abbey.
On Anabella’s instructions, they had assaulted the abbey
to purge Bearers and those who protect them.

Dark Clouds Gather

Martha has been arrested by the provincial garrison—most likely for her dealings with Bearers—and taken west in the direction of Sorrowise.
Clive and Jill rush to follow.

After finding Martha and seeing her safely back to the Rest, Clive and Jill continue on to Glaidemond Abbey.
There, they find it occupied by imperial soldiers calling themselves the Black Shields, bent on cleansing the land of Bearers
at the order of Her Imperial Majesty, Anabella Lesage.

粛清の風

ベアラーの取り締まりが過激化するロザリアで、
駐屯兵が宿に押し入り、マーサを連れ去ってしまう。
クライヴとジルは、駐屯兵を追って悲しみの入り江へ。

クライヴたちは修道院で《黒騎士》と遭遇する。
彼らはベアラーとベアラーをかばう者を粛清するため、
アナベラの指示の下、修道院を襲撃したのだった。

Attack the Black Knights!

Wade and the other 《Guardians of the Embers》
are going to challenge the Black Knight’s main unit, Umbra Squad, to a decisive battle.
Clive and Jill offer to fight together with them.

After a fierce battle, Clive and His Crew succeed in annihilating the Umbra Squad.
Wade revealed that Byron was the organization’s supporter
and guided them to the way leading to Port Isolde.

Black or White

The Black shields’ main host is on the march
and Sir Wade’s Guardians of the Flame plan to make a final stand…
with or without Clive and Jill’s help.

Fighting side-by-side for the first time in almost twenty years, Clive and Wade succeed in routing the Black Shields at Bewit Bridge.
Upon returning to the Lazarus District, Clive learns that the Guardians of the Flame are being funded by coin provided by none other than Clive’s own uncle, Byron.

黒騎士を討て

ウェイドたち《種火の守り手》は、
黒騎士の主力部隊･本影隊との決戦に挑むという。
クライヴとジルは、彼らに共闘を申し出る。

激戦の未、クライヴたちは本影隊の殲滅に成功する。
ウェイドは、組織の支援者がバイロンであると明かし、
ポートイゾルデへと続く道へと案内するのだった。

Mid’s Workshop

Mid, the only daughter of the previous Cid, has returned to the Hideaway.
She had been studying mechanical engineering in Kanver,
and approached me with the idea of turning the Hideaway’s storehouse into her own workshop.

The raw materials and tools needed to construct 《Mid’s Workshop》,
and also a highly skilled carpenter, are all here.
All that remained was to complete it and Mid practically had a shit-[eating] grin [on her face].

Getting to Work

Midadol Telamon—daughter of the late Cidolfus and engineering prodigy—
—has lately returned from her studies at the University of Kanver and is keen to put her learning to use.

Clive assists Mid in gathering the necessary materials, tools, and personnel to establish a workshop in the hideaway.
His work is done—now Mid’s begins.

ミドの工房

先代シドの一人娘、ミドが隠れ家に帰還。
カンベルで機工学を学んでいた彼女から、
隠れ家の倉庫を自分の工房にしたいと持ちかけられる。

《ミドの工房》建設に必要な資材と道具、
そして腕利きの大工はそろった。
あとは完成させるのみと、ミドはほぼくそ笑むのだった。

The Briar’s Problem

《Růžena Dalimil》 is surprisingly a boy named L’ubor.
Clive wants to get L’ubor’s collaboration to pass through the checkpoint
and tackles the problem of “resolving an inconvenience the town has”.

Clive gains L’ubor’s trust by
resolving the problem of the diverted crystals that were supposed to be distributed.
With his collaboration, he passes through the checkpoint and heads towards Drake’s Fang.

Follow the Crystals

Clive and Byron learn that the enigmatic Ruzena Dalimil is in fact a young man by the name of L’ubor,
who demands they prove themselves by “putting” and end to the trouble in Daliml.”
Only then will he aid them in securing passage through the south gate.

Clive and his uncle root out the ne’er-do-wells expropriating Dalimil’s crystal shipments,
and L’ubor makes good on his word.
The gate now open, they press on to Drake’s Fang.

茨の課題

Making 《Mythirl Armor》

The Enterprise’s heat exhaust mechanism needs large iron pipes.
Clive, who was commissioned by Mid, and his companions
take on the challenge of making large iron pipes that have high strength.

With the collaboration of Blackthorn, Gav and Otto,
I completed the large iron pipes with unprecedented strength.
The 《Mythirl Armor》 is now ready.

Letting Off Steam

Mid’s Enterprise wants for a thermal displacement stack, but she is struggling to realize the designs.
She asks for Clive’s assistance
in crafting the plating that will channel heat away from the mythril engine.

With a little help from Blackthorne, Otto, and Gav,
Clive succeeds in sourcing the materials
from which the thermal plating can be forged.

《ミスリルの鎧》をつくれ

エンタープライズの排熱装置には大型鉄管が必要だという。
ミドから依頼を受けたクライヴは、仲間と共に、
高い強度を持つ大型鉄管づくりに挑む。

ブラックソーンをはじめ、ガブやオットーと協力し、
これまでにない強度を持つ大型鉄管が完成した。
これで《ミスリルの鎧》の用意ができた。

Making a 《Mythril Helmet》

The Enterprise’s heat exhaust mechanism needs a durable outer casing.
Clive, who was commissioned by Mid,
collaborates in making the outer casing using relics from the Sky Civilization.

Clive, collaborating with Helena, Mid’s research assistant,
collected the relic that would become the exterior casing for the heat exhaust mechanism.
The 《Mythril Helmet》 is now ready.

Letting Off Steam II

Mid’s Enterprise wants for a thermal displacement stack, but she is struggling to realize the designs.
She asks for Clive’s assistance
in obtaining a section of Fallen ceramics to repurposed as the apparatus’s helm.

With a little help from Mid’s long-suffering assistant Helena,
Clive succeeds in securing the site of the Fallen ruin
from which the thermal helm might be salvaged.

《ミスリルの兜》をつくれ

エンタープライズの排熱装置には丈夫な外装が必要だという。
ミドから依頼を受けたクライヴは、
空の文明の遺物を使った外装づくりに協力する。

ミドの研究助手であるへレナと協力し、
排熱装置の外装となる遺物を回収したクライヴ。
これで《ミスリルの兜》の用意ができた。

Making a 《Mythril Shield》

The Enterprise’s heat exhaust mechanism needs special armor.
Clive, who was commissioned by Mid, and his companions
take on the challenge of making special armor with heat and corrosion resistance.

With the collaboration of Harpocrates, Jill and Tarja,
I completed the heat exhaust mechanism’s armor and the chemical solution to be applied to it.
The 《Mythril Shield》 is now ready.

Letting Off Steam III

Mid’s Enterprise wants for a thermal displacement stack, but she is struggling to realize the designs.
She asks for Clive’s assistance
in sourcing a material resistant yet light enough to serve as the shielding.

With a little help from Harpocrates, Jill, and Tarja,
Clive succeeds in formulating a flame-resistant balm,
as well as a plan to see it used to craft the thermal shielding.

《ミスリルの盾》をつくれ

エンタープライズの拓熱装置には特殊装甲が必要だという。
ミドから依頼を受けたクライヴは、仲間と共に、
耐熱性と耐腐食性を備えた特殊装甲づくりに挑む。

ハルポクラテスをはじめ、ジルやタルヤと協力し、
排熱装置の装甲とそれに塗布する薬液が完成した。
これで《ミスリルの盾》の用意ができた。

A Stolen Merchant Pass

Goetz’s merchant pass, absolutely essential for passing through the checkpoint,
was stolen by a child pickpocket.
Clive and His Crew split up to look for the culprit.

Goetz’s merchant pass fell into the hands of
the Gravel Brigade, a bandit group, via the orphaned pickpockets.
But Theodore appeared and offered his cooperation.

To Catch a Thief

The trader’s pass that Goetz was relying on to secure his friends’ passage to the Crystalline Dominion
has been stolen by street children.
Clive and Jill set out to recover it.

Clive corners the culprit, who tells him that the pass is now in possession of the Cast Stones—
—the band of thugs that forced him into his life of crime.
Theodore, younger brother of Goetz’s friend Eloise, agrees to help Clive and Jill take it back.

奪われた商人札

関所を通るために絶対不可欠なグツの商人札が、
子供のスリに奪われてしまう。
クライヴたちは、手分けして犯人を捜すことに。

グツの商人札は、スリの孤児たちを経て、

だが、そこに現れたテオドールが協力を持ちかける。

The Battle of the People of the Flames

A horde of Akashic appeared at Martha’s Inn.
As the battle to defend the town continues on,
Clive heads to the Gate of Degeneracy to back up the “helpers”.

I fought together with the “helpers”, who were Wade and his group, to defeat the Akashic.
《The Guardians of the Embers》 and the mercenary group swore that from now on,
they would collaborate to protect Martha’s Inn and the people who gathered there.

The Flames of War

A horde of Akashic beasts has descended upon Martha’s Rest,
and it is all Martha’s fired steel can do to stand against the tide.
Clive and Jill enlist to join those fighting at the Fallen Gate before the hill is overrun.

The horde has been driven back,
thanks in part to the efforts of the Guardians of the Flame who, realizing they fight for a similar cause as Martha,
agree to remain at the Rest for the foreseeable future.

炎の民の戦い

アカシアの大群が現れたマーサの宿。
いまだ町を守る戦いが続くなか、

“助っ人”のウェイドたちと共闘し、アカシアを撃退。
今後は《種火の守り手》と傭兵団が協力し、マーサの宿と、
そこに集う人々を守っていくことを誓うのだった。

In the Name of the Queen of the Night

A pack of glowing-blue monsters appeared at Northreach.
In order to save the town from its predicament,
Clive rushed to Isabelle, who was working out strategies with the soldiers.

The soldier’s morale was raised by Isabelle’s actions and they fought well,
while Clive and His Crew successfully repelled the monsters without incident.
Under the Queen of the Night, Northreach overcame the crisis.

Why We Fight

Strange, blue-eyed demons have descended upon the Royal Meadows, decimating a party of local soldiers dispatched to investigate the unwanted guests.
With their captain dead, the Northreach garrison is now in disarray
and the city has turned to the Dame for guidance.

Morale restored to their ranks, the garrison—
—aided by Clive and Jill—succeeds in vanquishing the thralls and restoring peace to Northreach…for the
time being.

夜の女王の名のもとに

青く光る魔物の群れが現れたノースリーチ。

無事、魔物を退けることに成功したクライヴたち。
夜の女王のもと、ノースリーチは危機を乗り越えた。

The Desert’s Ear Never Gives Up

Daliml Relay Station is divided over [how] to deal with the bandits.
Even L’ubor tired of being involved with it.
So Clive and His Crew collaborate to look for a solution.

Clive and His Crew brought together the divided town and repelled the bandits.
Dalimil Relay Station, where the organizations called the vigilante and support groups were born,
took a new step forward under L’ubor.

Down the Rabbit Hole

A recent raid on Dalimil by desert bandits has the town’s residents at odds with how they should deal with future threats.
Tensions are hot and L’ubor’s patience is wearing thin,
so he taps Clive for a solution.

The people of Dalimil put aside their differences and come together to repel a
second raid by the desert bandits—
—the newly formed town guard fending off
invaders from the south, while Clive and Jill handle those from the north—
—their victory further strengthening the town.

The People Living in the Hideaway

In the Kitchen of Cid’s Hideaway, Kenneth, the Head Chef,
asked me to help out the kitchen by delivering food.
It seems three residents are waiting for their food to arrive.

The ones Kenneth asked me to deliver food to were all
Bearers who lived similarly to “people” in the Hideawy.
Here, they too can act of their own intentions.

Food for Thought

Kenneth asks Clive
to help him in his work by delivering food to some of the hideaway’s residents.
Three hungry customers await…

Clive delivers food
to three fellow Bearers who’ve found refuge at the hideaway.
In doing so, he sees how each, in their own way, now lives on their own terms.

隠れ家で暮らす人々

シドの隠れ家の厨房で、料理長のケネスから、
厨房の手伝いとして、料理を運んでほしいと頼まれた。
3人の住人が、料理が届くのを待っているようだ。

ケネスに頼まれた料理を運んだ相手は、いずれも、
隠れ家で人と同じように暮らすベアラーたちだった。
ここでは彼らも、自分の意思で動くことができるのだ。

The People Working in the Hideaway

In the Kitchen of Cid’s Hideaway, Kenneth, the Head Chef,
asked me to deliver food to three more locations.
However, it’s the Hideaway’s way to not say that [the food] is for free.

The ones Kenneth asked me to deliver food to were all
Bearers who continue to do their respective jobs in the Hideaway.
Here, they too live by helping each other out.

A Place For Everyone

Kenneth asks Clive
to deliver three more meals to residents of the hideaway.
Who will he be serving this time?

Clive successfully delivers meals
to three fellow Bearers working in various roles around the hideaway.
While going about this task, he learns even more about the spirit of cooperation that keeps Cid’s little community going.

隠れ家で働く人々

シドの隠れ家の厨房で、料理長のケネスから、
また3か所に料理を運んでほしいと頼まれた。
しかし、タダでとは言わないのが隠れ家の流儀だ。

ケネスに頼まれた料理を運んだ相手は、いずれも、
隠れ家でそれぞれの仕事を続けるベアラーたちだった。
ここでは彼らも、皆と助け合って生きているのだ。

Living Surrounded by Ruins

In the Vegetable Garden of Cid’s Hideaway, Geoffroy, the Carpentry Foreman,
asked me to get lumber to use for repairs.
It seems they for repairing 《The Sky Civilization Ruins》 so they won’t collapse.

Geoffroy resumed the repairs with the lumber Clive brought.
Taking advantage of being surrounded by 《Sky Civilization Ruins》
seems to be a way of life for the Hideaway while being inside the Black Region.

Make Do and Mend

Geoffory, the hideaway’s head carpenter, needs Clive
to fetch him some wood with which to make repairs.

Thanks to the wood Clive brings them, Geoffory is able to resume his repairs.
While helping him, Clive learns the importance of the Fallen ruins
in allowing the residents of the hideaway to make their home among the Blight.

遺跡に囲まれた生活

シドの隠れ家の菜園で、大工の親方ジョフロワから、
修繕用の木材を持ってきてほしいと頼まれた。
《空の文明の遺跡》が崩れないように修繕するらしい。

クライヴが持ってきた木材でジョフロワは修繕を再開。
《空の文明の遺跡》に囲まれ、それを利用するのが
黒の一帯の中にある、隠れ家での暮らし方のようだ。

The Botanist

In the Vegetable Garden of Cid’s Hideaway, Bohumil, the Botanist,
pleaded with me to see how things were going for his assistant, who hadn’t returned.
Bohumil seems to be very worried because his assistant hasn’t returned.

Clive helped Martelle, the vegetable garden assistant, in the vineyard.
Bohumil was very excited with the soil I collected in her place.
What he was worried about was none other than the “soil”.

Moving Heaven and Earth

Bohumil, chief botanist at the hideaway,
is missing an assistant
and anxious to see her return.

Clive finds Martelle—Bohumil’s assistant—in the vineyard in Lostwing, and rescues her from danger.
When he brings the soil she’d been sent to collect back to Bohumil,
he learns that the chief botanist seems to value vital research materials somewhat more than he does vital research assistants.

植生研究者

シドの隠れ家の菜園で、植生研究者のボフミルから、
帰ってこない助手の様子を見てきてくれと懇願された。
ボフミルは、助手が帰らずに気が気ではないようだ。

ブドウ畑で、菜園助手のマーテルを助けたクライヴ。
彼女の代わりに採取した土に、ボフミルは大興奮。
彼が心配していたのは、他でもない“土”だったのだ。

Beware the Hungry Chocobos!

On the way to Martha’s Inn, I accepted a request from Rowan, the Peddler,
to deliver an urgent package.
Rowan’s wagon was already surrounded by chocobos.

I delivered the package entrusted to me by the peddler Rowan to the stables,
and learned why his wagon became surrounded by chocobos.
It was filled with gysahl greens, chocobos’ favorite food.

What a Bird Wants

Clive is asked by Rowan, a merchant making his way to Martha’s Rest,
to take charge of an urgent delivery.

On delivering Rowan’s package to the stable master,
Clive learns why the wandering merchant’s cart is swamped by chocobos.
He has burdened it with rather too much of their very favorite thing in the world—gysahl greens.

腹ぺこチョコボにご用心

マーサの宿へ向かう道中で、行商人のローワンから、
急ぎの荷物を届けてほしいという依頼を引き受けた。
ローワンの馬車は、もはやチョコボまみれだ。

行商人のローワンから預かった荷物を厩番に届け、
彼の馬車がチョコボまみれになっていた理由を知る。
チョコボの大好物、ギサールの野菜でいっぱいだったのだ。

One Who was Once a Friend

In front of the tavern at Martha’s Inn, I accepted a request from Brennan, the Mercenary,
to search for 《Norreis》, a Bearer who ran away.
A man named Ronald is angry, saying he was deceived by him…

Norreis, who had run away from the relay station, was a Bearer without a Brand.
However, his true identity was discovered by his former friend.
The day they can return to being best friends again will probably never come.

False Friends

A recently unmasked Bearer has run away from Martha’s Rest due to his true identity having been discovered.
The Bearer’s former friend Ronald is extremely upset at what he sees as a betrayal
and asks Clive to help him locate the missing man.

Clive finds Norreis, the unbranded Bearer who led Martha’s Rest when his true identity was discovered.
Judging that the rift with his former friend Ronald is too great to heal,
Clive has no choice but to see that Norreis is spirited away to safety.

かつて友だった者

マーサの宿の酒場前で、傭兵のブレナンから、
逃げたベアラー《ノリス》の捜索依頼を引き受けた。
ロナルドという男は、彼に騙されたと怒っているが⋯。

宿場から逃げたノリスは、刻印のないベアラーだった。
しかし、その正体がかつての友に知られてしまった。
もう二度と、彼らが親友に戻れる日は来ないだろう。

Necessities for the Common People

At Martha’s Inn, Clarke, the Fishmonger,
asked me to find the crystal he dropped.
Furthermore, it seems the crystal was eaten by a monster.

The crystal was recovered from the monster, and the relay station’s fishmonger was relieved.
With a crystal, even a person can use all sorts of magic.
It is also a important tool of the trade for merchants.

Crystalline Lifeline

A clumsy fisherman from Martha’s Rest has dropped his only crystal, putting his livelihood in jeopardy.
To make matters worse, it appears the crystal has been devoured by some of the local fauna…
Clive is to find it, but any means
necessary.

Clive retrieves the fisherman’s crystal from the bog crabs and returns it to him.
The episode is a useful reminder of the fact that some people’s livelihoods depend on such magical conveniences.

庶民の必需品

マーサの宿で、魚屋のクラークから、
落としたクリスタルを拾ってきてくれと頼まれた。
しかも、クリスタルは魔物に食べられたようだ。

魔物からクリスタルを取り戻し、宿場の魚屋も一安心。
クリスタルがあれば、人でも様々な魔法を使える。
それは、商人にとっても大事な商売道具となるのだ。

Clear the Road!

On the way to Eastpool, a man named Fredric
asked me to exterminate monsters that had gathered in excessive [numbers] that were lured by bait.
After defeating them, it seems I should report to a man named Brice.

As requested, Clive defeated the monsters that had been lured out.
Near the Black Region, the [number of] monsters also increases [due to] them fleeing from it.
Bearers are sometimes used as tools to exterminate them.

Beast Against Beast

A man on the road to Eastpool
asks Clive to help deal with some wolves,
and to go and tell his friend Brice when he has done so.

Clive sees to the wolves as requested,
but given the encroaching Blight, more will probably be along before long.
Still, the men who asked him to help seem happy enough, even if they aren’t exactly polite about him being a Bearer.

街道を拓け

イーストプールへ向かう道中で、フレドリクという男から、
餌に釣られて集まりすぎた魔物の退治を頼まれた。
倒した後はブライスという男に報告すればよいようだ。

依頼通り、おびき寄せられた魔物を退治したクライヴ。
黒の一帯の近くでは、そこから逃げた魔物も増える。
ベアラーは、時に彼らを退治する道具にもされるのだ。

What You can do for the Hideaway

In Cid’s Hideaway, a Bearer named Alban
asked me to check on a companion who is late in returning.
It seems to be a young man named Randal who went to Lostwing.

Randal was attacked by barbarian tribesmen and died.
Taking dangerous jobs for the sake of the Hideaway, risking one’s life;
this is a Bearer’s way of life, [after] becoming [someone] who can die as a person.

Needs of the Many

An old man at the hideaway
asks Clive to find his friend Randal,
who went to Lostwing to work, and hasn’t come back.

Clive is too late to save Randal, who sacrificed himself to save another when goblins attacked.
While this is of course the very definition of dying on one’s own terms,
it also highlights the troubling need for the hideaway’s inhabitants to seek out dangerous work in order to support themselves.

隠れ家のためにできること

シドの隠れ家で、アルバンというベアラーからち、
帰りの遅い仲間の様子を見てきてほしいと頼まれた。
ロストウィングに出向いたランダルという青年らしい。

ランダルは、蛮族に襲われて帰らぬ人となった。
隠れ家のために危険な仕事を受け、命をかけるのも、
人として死ねるようになったベアラーの生き様だ。

A Long-Awaited Letter

In Cid’s Hideaway, Glenn, the Supplier,
asked me to look for the packages he dropped while traveling.
He seems to have lost an important letter addressed to Cid and is greatly panicked.

Clive retrieved the dropped packages and delivered it to Glenn.
The letter that was successfully found seems to be from Cid’s daughter.
On the day the letter arrived, he seemed to be in a better mood than usual.

Red Letter Day

A courier at the hideaway
asks Clive to find some goods he lost,
including an important letter for Cid.

Clive delivers the lost goods back to the courier,
including Cid’s letter, which turns out to be from the Outlaw’s very own daughter.
Apparently, receiving these missives puts him in a much better mood than usual.

待ちわびた手紙

シドの隠れ家で、補給係のグレンから、
道中で落とした荷物を捜してほしいと頼まれた。
シド宛の大事な手紙も失くしたらしく大慌てだ。

落とした荷物を回収しし、グレンに届けたクライヴ。
無事に見つかった手紙は、シドの娘からのものらしい。
手紙が届いた日の彼は、いつもより機嫌がいいようだ。

The Freedom that is There

In Lostwing, I accepted a request from Alain, Quinten’s Subordinate,
to listen to what [some] Bearers had to say.
They are afraid of people and can’t speak properly.

After being [given] bread and wine from the tavern to eat,
the sheltered Bearer brother and sister finally seemed to relax.
They surely have a little freedom now.

Welcoming Committee

One of Quinten’s underlings
enlists the help of Clive to help two new Bearers settle into Lostwing.
Apparently, their former master mistreated them terribly, and they’re extremely nervous as a result.

Clive hands over the bread and wind he’s fetched from the tavern,
and the two new Bearers finally open up.
Thanks to this kindness, they may even finally begin to believe that they’re finally free.

そこにある自由

ロストウィングで、カンタンの部下のアランから、
ベアラーの話を聞いてほしいという依頼を引き受けた。
彼らは人を恐れ、まともに話すことができないようだ。

酒場でもちったパンとワインを食べさせると、
保護されたベアラーの兄妹はようやく安心したようだ。
小さな自由だが、彼らは今たしかにそれを手に入れた。

The Aroma of Lostwing

In Lostwing, I accepted a request from Emile, the Winefarmer,
to exterminate the monsters staying in his vineyard.
This year’s grapes have a particularly strong aroma, and even the monsters are obsessed with it.

With the defeat of the monsters in the vineyard, the harvest can finally progress.
It looks like Lostwing’s local wine, 《Goalton Rouge》,
will be the finest vintage in the last several years.

Dying on the Vine

A field hand at the vineyard in Lostwing
turns to Clive to get rid of a monstrous menace.
This year’s crop looks to be a particularly fine one, but it can’t be harvested until the plague off pests is dealt with.

Clive restores order to the vineyard by ridding it of the giant wasps that have been threatening to ruin this year’s crop.
Thanks to his efforts, the harvest can go ahead—
—and it looks like it’s going to be a vintage to remember.

香り高きロストウィング

ロストウィングで、ワイン農家のエミールから、
ブドウ畑に居座る魔物退治の依頼を引き受けた。
今年のブドウは特に香りが強く、魔物も夢中なのだ。

ブドウ畑の魔物を退治して、ようやく収穫も進みそうだ。
ロストウィング産のワイン《ゴールトンルージュ》は、
ここ数年で、最高の出来栄えになりそうだ。

In the Absence of Battleaxes

At Martha’s Inn, a frightened tavern waitress
asked me to exterminate the bandits who had attacked the relay station.
The bandits seem to be acting violently inside the tavern.

Clive exterminated the bandits who were acting violently at the inn’s tavern.
According to the proprietress Martha, now that Rosaria has become a vassal state,
they have no choice but to rely on the mercenary group, and it seems the hardships continue.

While the Cat’s Away

A band of rowdy ne’er-do-wells are raising a ruckus at the tavern in Martha’s Rest and reuse to leave.
Clive is enlisted to take out the rubbish.

Clive deals with the bandits causing trouble at the tavern in Martha’s Rest.
When Martha arrives, she explains that, since becoming subjects of the empire,
they’ve had no choice but to rely on what little mercenary assistance they can afford.

戦斧のなき間に

マーサの宿で、怯えている宿屋の給仕から、
宿場を襲った野盗を退治してほしいと頼まれた。
野盗たちは、酒場の中で暴れているようだ。

宿の酒場で暴れていた野盗たちを退治したクライヴ。
主人のマーサによると、ロザリアが属領となった今、
傭兵団に頼るしかなく、苦労が続いているらしい。

The Desire that Transcends Walls

In downtown Northreach, I accepted a request from Etienne, the Merchant,
to help with a transaction outside the wall.
He says its just a simple job to deliver “the promised items”…

“The promised items” were crystals, whose trade is forbidden.
It seems the residents outside [the wall] are living fiercely
and built the market to hold on to the “leftovers” from inside the wall.

The Want Beyond the Wall

A merchant requires Clive
to deliver some goods beyond the wall in Northreach,
along with a mysterious message about them being “fresh from the master’s table…”

The goods Clive is asked to deliver turn out to be contraband crystals.
It seems there’s a thriving market beyond the wall
for even the tiniest specimens.

壁を越える欲望

ノースリーチの街中で、商人のエティエンヌから、
壁の外側での取引に協力するという依頼を引き受けた。
“約束の品”を届けるだけの簡単な仕事だというが⋯。

“約束の品”は、取引が禁じられたクリスタルだった。
壁の内側の“おこぼれ”にあずかろうとマルシェを築き、
外側の住人は懸命に生きているようだ。

The Dignity of Elite Soldiers

At the Northreach Training Grounds, I received a proposal from Leon and Robin, both Elite Soldiers,
to spar [with them] in the training grounds.
Let’s see the true strength of the Imperial Capital’s Elite Defense Unit.

Clive is victorious over the elite soldiers in the spar.
The two elite soldiers acknowledged their defeat and swore to train [harder].
Those who protect the imperial capital have a dignity of their own.

Pride Comes Before a Fall

Clive is challenged to prove his worth by a pair of soldiers in Northreach.
It seems that it doesn’t do to call the Imperial Guard’s competence into question…

Clive takes on the two soldiers and wins,
exposing their misplaced pride, and
convincing them that perhaps a little more training might not go amiss.
A valuable lesson for all concerned.

精兵たちの矜持

ノースリーチの訓練所で、精兵のレオンとロバンから、
訓練所で手合わせをしないかという提案を受けた。
皇都防衛の精鋭部隊の実力とやらを見せてもらおう。

2人の精兵は負けを認め、鍛え直すことを誓う。

The Bearers’ Means of Living

At the Northreach Training Grounds, I accepted a request from Mathieu, a Government Official from the Imperial Capital,
to deliver food to the Bearers in the town.
The Bearers are said to be made to use magic without rest.

After distributing the food, I heard about Mathieu from a prostitute.
Although he is a government official from the imperial capital, he has doubts
about the treatment of Bearers and seems to be collaborating with the Madame.

Friend of the People

Clive is asked to deliver food to various overworked Bearers around Northreach
by a certain concerned noble.

Having delivered the food as requested, Clive reports in at the Veil,
where he learns that the man known as the Chamberlain is, in fact, a noble of the realm.
Apparently, his concern over the ill treatment of Bearers led him to collaborate with the Dame in her efforts to see them better served.

ベアラーたちの生きる術

ノースリーチの訓練所で、皇都の役人のマチューから、
街のベアラーに食料を配るという依頼を引き受けた。
べアラーたちは休みなく魔法を使わされているという。

食糧を配り終え、娼婦からマチューについて話を聞く。
彼は皇都の役人でありながら、ベアラーの扱いについて
疑問を持つようになり、マダムに協力しているらしい。

The Weight of Life

At a wheat field near Moore, Benoit, the Nobleman,
ordered me to rescue his son who is being attacked by monsters.
Despite the circumstances, Benoit seems strangely calm…

The noble father and son enjoyed making monsters kill Bearers.
However, this time they themselves were attacked by those monsters.
It’s as if the Bearers they had killed turned their fangs on them.

All Bark

A nobleman in the fields near Moore
orders Clive to save his son from wild beasts—
—although he seems more irritated at Clive’s attitude than concerned for his son’s safety…

It transpires that the nobleman and his son have been sending Bearers to their deaths or their own amusement.
But they don’t get away with it this time—
—the tables are turned, and the hunters become the hunted…

命の重さ

ムーアの近くの小麦畑で、貴族のブノワから、
魔物に襲われている息子を助けろと命令された。
状況の割に、ブノワは妙に落ち着いている様子だが⋯。

貴族の親子は、魔物にベアラーを殺させ楽しんでいた。
しかし、今度は自分たちがその魔物に襲われてしまう。
まるで、殺してきたべベアラーに牙をむかれたように。

With White Pride

At the entrance to Martha’s Inn, Rowan, the Peddler,
asked me to save a chocobo being targeted by bandits.
It seems to be a brave chocobo called 《The Heart of Rosaria》.

The true identity of 《The Heart of Rosaria》, who was being targeted by bandits,
was Ambrosia, who had been separated [from Clive] for a long time since Phoenix Gate.
She was reunited with Clive after over a decade had passed.

The White-Winged Wonder

Rowan, a merchant based near Martha’s Rest,
entreats Clive to come to the aid of a flock of noble chocobos that have attracted the ire of a gang of bandits.
Apparently, their leader is certain “Whiteheart”…

The noble Whiteheart turns out to be none other than Ambrosia,
Clive’s childhood mount, whom he hasn’t seen since the attack on Phoenix Gate.
The two friends, reunited at last, happily rekindle their much-missed bond.

白き誇りと共に

マーサの宿の入り口で、行商人のローワンがら、
野盗に狙われているチョコボを助けてくれと頼まれた。
《ロザリアの心》と呼ばれる、勇敢なチョコボらしい。

野盗に狙われていた《ロザリアの心》の正体は、

十数年の時を経てクライヴと再会を果たしたのだった。

The Blacksmith and the Obsession

In the Hideaway’s Saloon, August of 《The Stone Swords》,
asked me to find out Blackthorne’s worries.
The taciturn blacksmith seems to be troubled by something.

[A piece of] leather armor was Blackthorn’s source of worry.
When he saw the specially processed leather I got from the leather armorer,
he was impressed by its construction and regained his motivation.

Blacksmith’s Blues

August wants Clive
to find out what’s been troubling Blackthrone.
While the surly blacksmith isn’t usually a big talker, August thinks he might open up to
Clive.

It turns out that Blackthorne is upset because of the craftsmanship of a certain cuirass he’s seen.
However, he soon cheers up
when Clive hands over a sample of the leather it was made from.

鍛冶師と拘泥

隠れ家のサロンで、《石の剣》のオーガストから、

その構造に感心し、やる気を取り戻したようだ。

The Blacksmith and Comparing Notes

In a letter from August of 《The Stone Swords》,
I was asked to hear Blackthorne’s story.
The taciturn blacksmith still seems to be worried about something.

Blackthorne’s source of worry was a single-edged slender sword.
When he saw the precious whetstone he had received from its owner, a noble,
he seemed to have an idea for a new technique and became even more motivated.

Blacksmith’s Blues II

Clive receives a letter from August
asking him to help cheer Blackthorne up again.
What could be the matter with him this time?

It seems Blackthorne is upset at the sharpness of a certain single-edged sword he’s seen.
But Clive hands over the whetstone with which it was honed,
and the surly smith’s will to work his forging magic is soon restored.

鍛冶師と切磋

《石の剣》のオーガストからの手紙で、

ブラックソーンの悩みの種は、片刃の細剣だった。
持ち主の貴族から譲り受けた、貴重な砥石を見た彼は、
新たな技法の着想を得て、さらにやる気になったようた。

The Blacksmith and Returning Home

In the Hideaway’s Salon, August of 《The Stone Swords》,
asked me to listen to his story about Blackthorne.
The taciturn master blacksmith seems to be troubled once again.

Blackthorne’s source of worry is the ring made by Zoltan.
Although he couldn’t reunite with his former fellow apprentice,
when he saw the coke [given in] gratitude for saving the village, he was overflowing with motivation.

Kokuyōka: “coke” is a coal product used for making steel!

Blacksmith’s Blues III

Blackthorne is upset yet again,
and as expected, August has approached Clive to look into it.
Will this be the last time? One can only hope so…

It transpires that Blackthorne is in a brown study because of a ring he’s seen that was made by Zoltan, an old acquaintance.
He returns to his hometown,
and while the two former fellow apprentices don’t end up meeting,
Blackthorne does manage to save the place, and earn himself some pit-coal cinder into the bargain.

鍛冶師と帰還

隠れ家のサロンで、《石の剣》のオーガストから、

かつての兄弟弟子である彼と再会こそできなかったが、
村を救った礼の骸炭を見て、やる気にあふれるのだった。

The Blacksmith and His Friend

In the Hideaway’s Salon, August of 《The Stone Swords》,
asked for my cooperation in eliminating the Akashic around Dravozd.
The taciturn master blacksmith’s hometown seems to be in a crisis.

Blackthorne and Zoltan joined forces
to overcome Dravozd’s crisis of an Akashic assault.
They returned to being “brothers” who accepted each other.

Blacksmith’s Blues IV

August collars Clive again, this time to help with an Akashic invasion in Dravozd.
Blackthorne’s hometown is in trouble, and only Clive can help.

Blackthorne and Zoltan put aside their differences
to save Dravozd from the Akashic invasion.
And once that’s done, they even rekindle their working relationship—a turnaround for the ages.

鍛冶師と友と

隠れ家のサロンで、《石の剣》のオーガストから、

Good Medicine is Hard to Swallow

In the Hideaway’s Botanical Garden, Nigel, the Botanist,
requested that I to gather a flower called morganbeard.
The flower increases the effects of medicine,
and its scent seems to be preferred by the barbarian tribes.

Clive defeated the barbarian tribesmen and picked the morgansbeard.
It was a flower that once bloomed in Rosalith Castle.
Finally he could make the essential oil that increases the effects of medicine.

The Root of the Problem

At the hideaway, medicine is in constant short supply, but botanist Nigel is of
a mind to change that.
If he can get his hands on several samples of morganbeard—a rare flower renowned for its curative properties—he plans to cultivate his own in the backyard…or at least try to.

To show his thanks for the morganbeards, Nigel distills the flowers of several samples into a concentrated essence that, according to the botanist, will fortify Clive’s potions and elixirs with but a single drop.

良薬は口に得難し

隠れ家の植物園で、植物研究家のナイジェルから、
モーガンビアードという花の採取を依頼された。

蛮族を倒し、モーガンビアードを採取したクライヴ。
それは、かつてロザリス城でも咲いていた花だった。

Good Medicine is Even Harder to Come By

In the Hideaway’s Botanical Garden, Nigel, the Botanist,
requested that I get the tough “aerial roots” of a morbol.
The target monster seems to be up on the Risky Mob bulletin board.

Clive defeated the tough morbol and got its aerial root.
The morganbeard grew to be even more robust,
its medicinal effects increased, and a new essential oil was made from it.

Please, Sir, Can I Have Some Morbol

Unsatisfied by the present potency of his morganbeards, Nigel seeks a means to further invigorate the flowers…
and believes the answer lies in the vines of a morbol—
—preferably one large and violent enough to warrant a billet on the
Hunt Board.

Having finely felled the frenzied foliage, Clive returns to the backyard victorious, virile vines in hand.
Nigel wastes no time grafting the samples onto his morganbeards,
and the results are almost instantaneous—
—the flowers are now haler than ever, and the essence extracted from them doubly potent.

良薬はさらに得難し

Ultimate Workshop, Expand!

In the Hideaway at 《Mid’s Dungeon》, Owain, the Technology Assistant,
requested that I get 《Bomb Ash Residue》 for a new device.
The target monster seems to be listed on the Risky Mob Bulletin Board.

Clive defeated the Bomb King and got the Bomb Ash Residue.
With all the materials collected, 《The Telamon Chemical Manufacturing Device》 is complete.
The prototype chemical also made Clive’s medicine bag easier to use.

Kokuyōka: “medicine” and “chemical” are the same kanji term.

Weird Science

Owain, denizen of Mid’s dungeon,
asks for Clive’s assistance in obtaining the bomb ash he needs to complete a new invention.
He has only to slay a bomb king—a beast so beastly it has earned its own billet on the Hunt Board.

Clive slays the bomb king and collects its ash,
which Owain immediately puts to use in building the Telamon alembic.
By way of thanks, he applies a curious compound to Clive’s potion bag that increases its elasticity—allowing Clive to carry more vials with him wherever he goes.

Thought-Bearing Fruit

In the Hideaway’s Botanical Gardens, Cormac, the Botanist,
asked me to hand out fruit to the members of 《The Stone Swords》.
It seems they’ve been able to improve the fruit that Martelle once grew.

The members of 《The Stone Swords》 and Otto received Martelle’s fruit
and were delighted that the sweet fruit she had aimed for was being grown.
The thoughts of those passed away with unfulfilled ambitions are still being passed down [today].

The Fruits of Her Labors

The apples growing on one of Martelle’s old trees are ripe and by all accounts, delicious.
Backyard botanist Cormac wants everyone to know just how good they are,
and has asked Clive to deliver a basket to the hideaway’s hungry Cursebreakers.

The Cursebreakers enjoy the apples, as does Otto.
It seems they’ve grown a lot sweeter since Martelle’s earliest attempts—
—a testament to the love and attention lavished on them by those who succeeded her.

実を結ぶ想い

隠れ家の植物園で、植物研究家のコルマックから、
《石の剣》の隊員に、果実を配ってくれないかと頼まれた。

《石の剣》の隊員やオットーは、マーテルの果実を受け取り、
彼女の目指した甘い果実ができたことを喜んでいた。
志半ばに亡くなった者の想いは今も受け継がれている。

The Pharmacist and the Doctor

In the Hideaway’s Infirmary, Rodrique, the Pharmacist,
asked me to gather Errmonea Grass, an ingredient in painkillers.
It seems to be used in the procedure to remove the Bearer’s 《Brand》.

I collected the Errmonea Grass and delivered it to Rodrique.
He was afraid of [doing] the procedure, which carries the risk of death,
and Clive asked him to meet the applicants “resolve”.

Kokuyōka: “errmonea” is probably from the Ancient Greek word “ἁρμονία” (pronounced “harmoníā”) from where English gets “harmony”.

Do No Harm

Rodrique, a physicker at the infirmary, is all desperate need of errmonea—
—an herb needed to ease the pain of Bearers undergoing the perilous procedure of Brand-removal.
Clive has offered to gather some, despite his obvious lack of
herblore.

Clive finds some errmonea and takes it back to Rodrique,
who’s still extremely apprehensive about the operation he has been asked to undertake.
Clive reminds him that would-be Cursebreakers undergo the procedure fully aware of the dangers, and are willing to risk it nonetheless.

薬師と医者と

隠れ家の医務室で、薬師のロドリグから、
鎮痛剤の材料となるエルモネア草の採取を頼まれた。

エルモネア草を集め、ロドリグに届ける。
死の危険を伴う施術を恐れる彼に対してクライヴは、
志願者の“覚悟”に応えてほしいと頼むのだった。

Thought-Bearing Fruit

In the Hideaway’s Infirmary, Rodrique, the Pharmacist,
asked me to persuade Tarja to rest.
She seems to be examining a certain patient without taking any breaks.

Due to the effect of the Elysia Drug, the patient took his last breath peacefully.
He was the inventor of this medicine and also Tarja’s mentor who taught her medical skills.
His ideal also was “a place where people can die as people”.

Kokuyōka: “Elysia” is from “Elysium”, the home of the blessed dead from Greek Mythology. In Ancient Greek it would be “Ἠλῠ́σῐᾰ” (pronounced “Ēlŭ́sĭă”).

The Fruits of Her Labors

Rodrigue begs Clive to help him convince Tarja that she needs to rest. It
seems she’s been devoting all her time to a certain paitent, and not even
stopping to sleep.

Clive helps Tarja with the ingredients she needs to make Elysia,
and she administers it to her former mentor, sending him peacefully off into the hereafter.
To her, this is the least she can do for one who taught her so much.

実を結ぶ想い

隠れ家の医務室で、薬師のロドリグから、
タルヤに対して休むよう説得してほしいと頼まれた。
彼女は休みもとらずに、とある患者を診ているようだ。

彼はこの薬の考案者で、タルヤに医術を教えた恩師でもあった。
彼の理想もまた“人が人として死ねる場所”だったのだ。

My Partner’s Secret

A letter from Charon about Torgal
discussed that she was a little concerned [about him].
Did something happen to Torgal?

Torgal’s change in appetite was caused by his awakening as an 《Ice Wolf》.
Furthermore, because he has been together with Clive and His Crew for a long time,
Torgal seems to have become a being that surpassed the legendary ice wolf.

A Bone to Pick

Lady Charon is concerned with Torgal’s well-being
and wishes to discuss the matter privately.

As it would turn out, the change in Torgal’s appetite can most likely be attributed to the fact that Torgal is not merely an overlarge hound, but the descendant of a legendary frost wolf
recently awoken to its latent power due to time spent with the Dominants Clive and Jill.

相棒の秘密

カローンからの手紙で、トルガルについて、
少し気がかりがあるとの相談を受けた。
トルガルの身に何かあったのだろうか。

トルガルの食の変化は《氷狼》への覚醒が原因だった。
さらに、長い間クライヴたちと共にあることで、
トルガルは伝承の氷狼を超えた存在となったらしい。

No Words Needed

A letter from Charon
reported that Torgal has been behaving strangely for a little while.
It seems like there’s some place he wants to go.

Clive visited 《The Secret Place》 with Torgal
and so discovered how deeply Torgal’s feelings of adoration for him are.
In the pair’s strong bond, words are unnecessary.

Kokuyōka: “feelings” is the term I usually translate as “thoughts” in FFXVI.

More than Words

Once again, Lady Charon is worried about Torgal,
pointing to the loyal hound’s recent fits of restlessness as areason for concern.

Clive returns with Torgal to their first “hideaway”—— a forgotten shack on a remote island in the Bay of Brangaine—
—where he finds that loyalty amongst true friends runs deeper than blood.

言葉はいらない

カローンからの手紙で、
少し前からトルガルの様子がおかしいと伝えられた。
どうやら、どこか行きたい場所があるようだ。

トルガルと共に《秘密の場所》を訪れたクライヴは、
そこで自分を慕うトルガルの想いの深さを知る。
ふたりの強い絆には、言葉など不要であった。

The Leading Star Behind the Scenes

In a letter from Gaute, the Clerk, I was asked to help with
a “problem” that was discovered while organizing the account books.
There’s likely a reason he went out of his way to send me a letter…

While repaying debts to the collaborators, I learned of Otto’s past once again.
Even now, what saved Otto, who blames himself for his own powerlessness,
was the trust and gratitude of two men, Clive and Cid.

Payback

A cursory review of the hideaway’s ledgers by Gaute has revealed an issue of utmost concern—
—so concerning, in fact, that he wishes to speak with Clive about it personally.

With each debt paid, Clive learns more of the old hideaway and the colored past shared by Otto and Cid.
Otto, haunted by the memories of his old friend, beings to question his worth to the hideaway
until Clive reassure him that they would all be lost without him—Clive most of all.

What is Reflected in That Eye

On the Hideaway’s Back Deck, Goetz
asked me to confirm the veracity of the rumors about Charon directly from her.
Apparently, it seems that bad rumors about her are circulating.

It was all a trap set by the merchant Bauguin, who resented Charon.
Having settled things with her fated opponent with her own hands,
Charon swore to live for Goetz and the Hideaway.

Kokuyōka: “fated” is “causality/karma”.

An Eye for an Eye

Ill rumors being spread about Lady Charon’s past has poor Goetz worried sick for his Nan.
The gentle giant has asked if Clive
might discreetly inquire with her about the veracity of said whispers.

Having learned the source of the rumors,
Charon confronts her old associate, the Bauguin, and deals with him swiftly, if not a tad savagely,
reaffirming her loyalty to both Goetz and the hideaway.

その瞳に映るもの

隠れ家の裏デッキで、グツから、

The Way of the Machinist

In the Hideaway’s Library, Shirleigh, the Teacher,
asked me to look for the balance scale Mid had made.
The children in the Atrium seem to know something…

[After] being taken apart by the children out of a desire to learn, the balance scale was successfully put back together again.
Mid, thinking of the Hideaway’s future and a peaceful world,
seems to be teaching the children the basics of mechanical engineering.

On Balance

A scale used in one of Miss Shirleigh’s recent lessons has gone missing,
and the young instructor is fairly certain her mischievous pupils are behind its untimely disappearance.

Curiosity may be the leading cause of death amongst coeurls, but a necessary evil when it comes to fostering the next generation of inspiring engineers,
and what, at a glance, appeared to be an act of mischief was actually an important life lesson.
As long as no one asks about the cogwheel.

機工士への道

隠れ家の書庫で、教育係のシャーリーから、

An Endless Dream

In the Hideaway’s Atrium, the children
asked me to cheer up Mid, who seemed strange.
Is she feeling down because the Enterprise was damaged?

“The Key of Dreams” and “The Key of Calamity” that invites war——
Mid was worried about how to deal with the Mythril Engine.
But she laughed at “leaving it with a “good-natured person” who believes in dreams”.

Aiming High

The hideaway’s children have noticed
that after returning from Stonhyrr, Mid is no longer her usual chipper self
and are concerned that something might be amiss.

Several minutes of profound pondering have helped Mid navigate the waters of uncertainty to arrive at a conclusion regarding her pursuit of flight—
—that
the people of the realm are better off with their feet planted firmly on the ground…
at least until someone worthy of that dream comes along.

果てなき夢

隠れ家のアトリウムで、子供たちから、
様子がおかしいミドを元気づけてほしいと頼まれた。

だが、夢を信じる“お人好し”に託すと笑うのだった。

The Princess’ Seamstress

On the Hideaway’s Deck, Hortense, the Storehouse Keeper,
asked me to get the ordered fabric in Northreach.
It seems that she’s making clothes for [a pair of] newly sheltered sisters.

Clive successfully brought the ordered fabric back home to the Hideaway.
The fine quality fabric received as a gift for resolving the dispute
became a souvenir for Jill, who is a needlework enthusiast, due to Hortense’s thoughtfulness.

Cut from the Cloth

Hortense is a busy woman, and when she’s not seeing that the hideaway’s shelves remained stocked, her days are spent hemming kirtles and mending britches.
A long-delayed delivery of linen from the draper in Northreach, however, is preventing her from this important task
and so she has asked Clive to collect the cloth in her stead the next time he is in northern Sanbreque.

Clive returns to an appreciative Hortense who,
upon discovering the several scraps of fine cloth added to the order by the draper,
suggests the pieces be given to Jill—”quite the little seamstress” to hear told.

Healing for the Phoenix

In the Hideaway’s Infirmary, Jote
asked me to help collect ingredients for medicine.
If the medicine runs out, Joshua will suffer from pain.

When I delivered the materials, Jote quietly murmured [something] together with her thanks.
“Both Clive and Joshua don’t think of themselves for the sake of [other] people.
But, a person is only [themselves] when they are alive.”

Phoenix, Heal Thyself

Jote confesses her concerns
that the medicine Joshua uses to sooth his pain is in short supply.

Clive risks his life to gather the necessary ingredient from the depths of an aetherflood.
While Jote is moved by his selflessness, she does wish that both Clive and his brother
would put their own well-being first every now and then.

The Inherited Flame

On the Hideaway’s Deck, Joshua
invited me to go and hear the story of our father Elwin’s will.
What was it that Elwin left behind for the two of us while he was alive?

The noble-minded monarch was also simply a father who loved his sons.
With their father Elwin’s prayer in their hearts, the brothers, their bond strengthened, swear [an oath].
That they will fight to the very end to protect the world of people.

Where There’s a Will

Joshua has received a message from Cyril,
saying that something akin to their father’s last will and testament has been found.
He suggests that he and Clive make for Tabor to learn more.

Clive and Joshua learn of their father’s plans both for the duchy and for his sons.
Together, they swear to follow in his footsteps and continue the fight for freedom and justice for all—the love Elwin held for them forever in their hearts.

Your [Snow-White] Silver

A letter from Joshua asked,
“Can we give Jill a break?”.
What can I do for Jill, who is on edge?

Clive and Jill, and the flowers of their memories——Snow Moonflowers.
Clive, who had taken Jill to that flower field,
came to know anew her quite and devoted love.

Kokuyōka: “silver” is literally “white silver” and is also a figurative term for snow.

Priceless

Joshua is worried
that recent events have begun to weigh heavily on Jill
and wonders if there is not something he and Clive might do to lift her spirits.

Clive and Jill revisit a bittersweet memory from their childhood
only to be reminded that their love for each other has not faded over time.

白銀の君

ジョシュアからの手紙で、
ジルに息抜きをさせられないかと相談を受けた。
気を張っているジルのために何ができるだろう。

彼女の静かでひたむきな愛情を改めて知るのだった。

Longing to be a Scout

On the Hideaway’s Deck, Nazaire, of 《The Stone Swords》,
asked me to review the aptitude of newly enlisted applicant.
It seems like the applicant apparently want to become a “scout”.

The applicant, Ember, was assessed as undeniably lacking in ability.
But, Clive recognized his initiative and drive
and approved of his enlistment in 《The Stone Swords》 as an apprentice.

Trial and Error

Cursebreaker Nazaire has asked
for Clive’s assistance in the evaluation of a new recruit—
—specifically one who fancies becoming the hideaway’s next best scout.

Albeit by dubious means, Ember successfully completes his trial, much to the dismay of Nazaire, who believes the recruit’s liberal bending of the rules should not afford him praise, let alone a spot amongst the Cursebreaker ranks.
Clive, however sees potential in the young man and
convinces Nazaire to give him a second chance.

斥候に憧れて

隠れ家のデッキで、《石の剣》のナゼールから、
新しい入隊志願者の適性審査を頼まれた。
その志願者は、どうやら“斥候”になりたいらしい。

志願者のエンバーは、力不足が否めないという評価。
だが、クライヴはその行動力とやる気を認め、
“見習い”として《石の剣》への入隊を認めるのだった。

A Patchwork Family

In the Hideaway’s Lounge, Gav
asked me to help make an amulet to give to Edda.
It looks like feathers from a “silver chocobo” are needed as materials.

Clive and Gav give the completed amulet to Edda.
Over a drink in reward for their hard work, Clive told Gav,
who was undervaluing himself, that he appreciated him more than anyone else.

Silver Linings

Gav has carved a gift for Edda’s unborn child, as is tradition in the Northern Territories,
but lacks the final piece required to complete it—the feather of a rarely seen silver chocobo.

For Gav, making Edda’s gift has reopened old wounds suffered the night his family died, leaving him drowning in a mire of guilt and feelings of inadequacy.
It is Clive who extends a hand to pull him free.

寄せ集めの家族

隠れ家のラウンジで、ガブから、

In Praise of Valuable Solitude!

A letter from Vivan
asked me to get a book called 《Writings From the External World》.
This book seems to have been her motivation to aspire to be a scholar.

Clive successfully got the forbidden book and handed it over to Vivan.
Her solitude as a heretic, the price she pays for her intellect,
seems to be sublimating in her way of life in the Hideaway.

An Inconvenient Truth

Vivian writes to Clive,
asking him to locate a copy of From a Distance,
the tome that inspired her to become a scholar.

Clive manages to spirit one of the few remaining copies of the tome from the grasping hands of the Executors.
Vivan explains hos its author, like herself, was something of a pariah to the orthodoxy of her day—and through her life was a lonely one, it gave her glimpse at a greater truth.
Though Vivan strove to follow in her idol’s footsteps, she admits that life at the hideaway—among friends and fellow thinkers—has its own benefits.

価値ある孤独を讃えよ

Towards Genuinely Ripened Fruit: Part 1

In Lostwing’s tavern, I accepted a request from Quinten
to investigate the surrounding area.
Someone may have seen a suspicious shadow in the village.

The true identity of the suspicious shadowy figure was Black Knights watching over the village.
Quinten, sensing the moment was right, revealed things concerning his “business” and
proceeded to make preparations together with his comrades in Lostwing.

For Great Justice

Quinten tells Clive that he has heard worrying rumors of late—
—tales of shadowy figures seen lurking in the woods around Lostwing.
Clive sets out to investigate.

Clive discovers that the intruders were in fact Black Shields, and succeeds in putting them down—
—but rather than being relieved by this news, Quinten comes to the disturbing realization that his nemesis has learned of his location,
and that the time to enact his grand plan for revenge grows short.

Towards Genuinely Ripened Fruit: Part 1

In Lostwing’s tavern, Quinten
asked me to take in the Bearers he had evacuated.
And now, Quinten’s revenge is about to begin.

Quinten achieved his revenge, but many of his companions fell,
the village had been swallowed by an aetherpool, and only emptiness remained in him.
However, [after being] persuaded by his “family”, he strengthened his resolve to rebuild the village.

For Great Justice

Quinten asks that
Clive take those Bearers who cannot join him on his quest for vengeance into his protection,
before he sets out to see justice done.

Quinten achieves his aim, but at a terrible cost—his loyal comrades lie slain, and Lostwing beneath an aetherflood.
All that he lived for gone, Quinten
drifts into despair—till he is dragged from its depths by those very stragglers he entrusted to Clive: the remnants of the Lostwing “family.”
Together, they swear to found a new village, built on a foundation not of hatred, but of hope.

The Stewards of the Renowned

In a letter from Rutherford, Byron’s Chief Steward,
I was asked to assist in investigating the movements of various countries.
Byron seems to be concerned about the future of the Wind Continent.

Clive rescued the stewards who were being attacked by bandits and soldiers.
Apparently, just as Byron feared, it seems that
law and order in the various countries is steadily deteriorating.

Smooth like Butler

Wanting to learn more of the state of the realm following the fall of its Mothercrystals and the darkening of its skies,
Lord Byron Rosfield does what any man of means might: task one of his servants with the endeavor.
That servant, however, now wishes to speak with Clive and urgently requests an audience in Martha’s Rest.

After saving two separate seneschals in two separate corners of Storm,
Clive returns to Martha’s Rest to inform Rutherford that his associates have learned exactly what Byron (and everyone else for that matter) had already expected—
—that the realm is in tatters and teetering precariously on the edge of utter chaos.

The Three Patriots of Wind

In the Hideaway’s Lounge, Byron
asked me to meet with Havel, a Dhalmekia Army Staff Officer.
The condition for collaborating on maintaining public order seems to be “a meeting with Cid the High Criminal”.

Three men joined forces to save the people of the Wind Continent.
Byron in logistics, Havel in the military, and Quinten in politics.
Their very cornerstone was Cid the High Criminal——Clive.

Three’s Company

Lord Byron has a plan to bring order to the realm,
and that plan involves his longtime acquaintance, Dhalmekia Field Marshal Eugen Havel.
The field marshal, however, has misgivings about linking arms with a known outlaw and first wishes to gauge Clive’s character.

Having somewhat put aside their differences,
Byron, Eugen, and Quinten agree to forge ahead with Byron’s elaborate plan
to stabilize the realm and unite its people behind a single purpose—survival.

The Knights of the Burning Fields: Part 1

In Martha’s Inn’s tavern, Martha
asked me to help move [people] to Eastpool.
First, we will subdue the bandits who have settled there.

I collaborated with 《The Guardians of the Embers》 to retake Eastpool.
The Bearers also moved and they got a new home.
It was the moment the village struck by tragedy was reborn.

Rekindling the Flame

Martha and Wade have a plan
to relocate the Bearers and Guardians who have lately taken refuge in the Rest to Eastpool—
—their only obstacle, the bandits that have taken up residence there.

With the aid of the Guardians of the Flame, Clive succeeds in driving both bandits and beasts from Eastpool,
kindling a flicker of hope in a village marked by tragedy.

The Knights of the Burning Fields: Part 2

In Martha’s Inn’s tavern, Martha
asked me to deliver vegetable seeds to Eastpool.
For the time being, Martha seems to not be reluctant to collaborate.

A hoard of Akashic attacked the reborn Eastpool.
With Martha’s encouragement, the bewildered Bearers rose up
and protected the village until the end with their own power.

Rekindling the Flame II

Martha asks that
Clive deliver some gysahl greens seeds to Wade in Eastpool,
that their new settlement might at length become self-sufficient.

Clive delivers the seeds, only to find the village under threat from a horde of Akashic.
Wade and Martha convince the Bearers to no longer live as slaves, but to join the Guardians in fighting for what is theirs.
Together, they not only protect their town, but gain a new understanding of what it is to be free.

The Brilliant [Crimson] Oath: Part 1

At Boklad Market, Eloise of 《The Crimson Caravans》
requested that I exterminate monsters in the ghost town called Kasjlok.
It seems she’s planning to have the Bearers she will buy in the future live there.

Having finished exterminating monsters in Kasjlok, I proceeded with improving the village.
Theodore revealed his thoughts about his sister, Eloise and
motivated himself for the caravans’ final job.

Trading Places

Eloise has a plan
to purchase a large group of Bearers and relocate them to Kasjlok, where they might live free—
—the only obstacle, the beasts and bogles that have made a nest of the abandoned village.

Clive succeeds in making the village safe to begin the rebuilding work.
Theodore is keen to see the mission though to the best of his ability,
for with the Silverpeak Consortium circling, it may well be the last time he and his sister work together.

The Brilliant [Crimson] Oath: Part 2

At Boklad Market, Theodore of 《The Crimson Caravans》
asked that I help with transporting the Bearers.
Eloise’s purchase of the Bearers seems to be nearly complete.

The Silverpeak Merchant Group’s intervention causes 《The Crimson Caravans》’s purchase of the Bears to fail.
Furthermore, Theodore sacrifices himself to protect Kasjlok.
Eloise learned of his wish and vows to continue as a courier.

Trading Places II

The rebuilding and restocking of Kasjlok is well underway, but what of the negotiations with the army?
Theodore asks Clive
to check in with his sister as to when the purchase is likely to be concluded.

Clive learns that the sale has fallen through, thanks to a late intervention by the Silverpeak Consortium.
To make matters worse, Kasjlok is under attack. Clive races to Theodore’s rescue, but is too late.
Eloise pledges to honor her brother’s memory by continuing their work at the Crimson Caravans—that they might always be together, as was always her wish.

赫灼の誓い 後篇

Crumbling Solid Walls: Part 1

At 《The Veil of Night》 in Northreach, Isabelle
asked me to talk with Duke Oriflame.
She says that this rate, there is a risk that the residents and soldiers will become hostile [towards each other].

Duke Oriflame refuses to even have a discussion with Clive.
While the residents’ opinions become divided, Philippe, a soldier,
resigned from the army to protect the town and help out the Madame.

Under New Management

Isabelle requests that Clive
speak with the Duke of Oriflamme and convince him of the error of his ways,
before his self-interested schemes tear Northreach apart.

Clive speaks with the Duke, but to no avail.
The town is split, and threatens to split further. Only Philippe, former captain of the garrison,
agrees to part company with the Duke and make the Dame’s cause his own.

Crumbling Solid Walls: Part 2

At 《The Veil of Night》 in Northreach, Isabelle
asked me to lend her a hand with security in the area.
As the town’s division deepens, it seems it is lacking manpower.

Northreach faced the threat of glowing blue monsters,
but the residents united under the Madame and drove them back.
At last, everyone joined forces and began walking the same path.

Under New Management II

With the garrison otherwise engaged in refortifying Northreach and rebuilding Caer Norvent,
Isabelle fears that the town wants for sentries,
and asks Clive to lend Philippe and his newly formed town watch his aid.

Another horde of thralls attacks Northreach,
but just as the town threatens to buckle under the combined pressures of monsters without and mutiny within, the Dame makes an impassioned plea for the soldiers and townspeople to unite behind their common cause.
Together, they are able to overcome their enemies, and forge a brighter future for their beloved town.

The Briar Rooted in the Desert: Part 1

At 《The Briar’s Kiss》 in Dalimil Relay Station, L’ubor
asked for my collaboration with eliminating the bandits targeting the town.
He wants to deal with the Bandit Confederation before it becomes a large military force.

We were able to eliminate the bandits, but when we returned to the town, it was in an uproar.
Everyone had become aware that L’ubor is actually a Bearer.
He resolves to leave the town so that his companions will not be in danger.

Lines in the Sand

L’ubor reports that the bandits who previously attacked Dalimil have formed a “League of Outlaws,”
and are steadily recruiting new members.
He asks for Clive’s aid in nipping their organizing efforts in the bud.

Clive does as asked, but on returning to Dalimil,
finds the town aflame with hearsay that L’ubor is a Bearer.
L’ubor confirms the rumor, and pledges to leave in disgrace, that his secret might not distract the townspeople from the true threat that faces them.

茨根ざす砂原 前篇

ルボルが実はベアラーだったことが皆に知られたのだ。
彼は、仲間に危険が及ばぬように街を去る決意をする。

The Briar Rooted in the Desert: Part 2

At 《The Briar’s Kiss》 in Dalimil Relay Station, L’ubor
asked me to look after the orphans in the Hideaway.
But at that moment, we received news of bandits who had become Akashic.

In order to protect the town, L’ubor and the orphans desperately persuade [the townspeople].
And on L’ubor’s instructions, they succeeded in driving back the Akashic.
L’ubor, who saved the people of Dalimil, formally became [Dalimil’s] chief.

Lines in the Sand II

L’ubor asks that Clive
take the orphans that he has been caring for into his protection.
Clive gladly agrees, but as he does so, they hear the horrifying news that a bad of Akashic may soon be at Dalmil’s gates.

The strength of the orphans’ love for L’ubor convinces the townspeople to give him a second chance,
which he uses to lead the defense of Dalimil and save the town from destruction.
His skill and loyalty thus proved once more, the Bearer who was stoned and spat at not a day before he finds himself elevated to mayor.

The Scarlet Wings’ Afterglow: Part 1

In 《Clayhearth》 in Tabor, Cyril
requested that I recover the investigation report on Kretov.
It seems they are investigating traces of Ultima in the ruins at various places.

The religious order members prioritize their great cause, and continue their investigation even when their companions are killed.
The Phoenix Religious Order, who follow their leader and carry out his orders
seem to accept how things are and never revise it.

Kokuyōka: “afterglow” is literally “remaining/leftover fire”. Interestingly, this is one way of writing “embers” in Japanese, specifically the embers left over after a fire has burned.

Duty Undying

Cyril tells Clive
that a team of Undying are conducting a survey of a nearby Fallen ruin as part of their investigations into Ultima,
and proposes that he make the short journey to Kretov to observe their work.

On entering Kretov, Clive finds several members of the survey team dead at the hands of echoes.
He confronts the survivors for allowing this to happen, but they are strangely blithe as to their brothers’ fate,
considering that to die in the course of their duty is the greatest honor.

Clean the Hideaway’s Ride!

At the Hideaway’s Pier, Obolus, the Ferryman,
asked me to get 《Strong Mucus》 to use as a preservative.
One from a thistlethorn at Coeurltail Waterfall seems to be fine.

Clive defeated the thistlethorn and got a 《Strong Mucus》.
The ferry that is the Hideaway’s ride should last for a while longer.
To live on a lake in the Black Region, all sorts of inventive [methods] are needed.

Caulk & Bawl

Hideaway ferryman Obolus
estimates his skiff will not last another fortnight before the Blighted water of Bennumere eats straight through its hull and condemns it to the lakebed.
Fortunately, he knows exactly what the boat needs to avoid this grim fate…and exactly where Clive can find it.

Though not without its dangers, the journey to Coeurltail Falls ultimately bears fruit,
and Clive returns to Obolus with the sticky resin the ferryman needs to patch the Argo‘s leaky planks and ensure the hideaway’s lifeline remains intact.

A Funeral for a Fleeting Life

“The Black Knight’s purge is spreading across Rosaria”,
the surviving Bearer said before taking [his last] breath.
Clive and His Crew decided to hold a memorial service for those who had become sand.

After holding a memorial service for the Bearer, Clive and His Crew reported to Martha.
Martha strengthened her resolve that
[no one] would ever again be a victim of their “purge”.

Release

Having dealt with the immediate threat posed by the Black Shields,
Clive and Jill turn their attention to searching the abbey for any who might still be alive.
There, amidst the slaughter, Jill discovers a lone surviving Bearer who, with his final breath, warns them of the Black Shields’ reach.

Clive collects the remains of the fallen Bearers and takes them to a nearby river where they can be consigned to the tides, as is custom.

The Search for Extremely Rare Food

In the Hideaway’s Kitchens, Yvan, the Assistant Cook,
asked me to gather ingredients for 《Monster Stew》.
It seems a mysterious ingredient described as a “Purple-Blue Treasure” is necessary.

The “Purple-Blue Treasure” was the flesh of a scorpion.
Yvan tasted the completed dish and was greatly stimulated by its flavor.
Beyond the bad odor lies a delicious flavor and it seems like the ultimate delicacy.

A Culinary Pilgrimage

Yvan, one of the cooks at the Tub & Crown,
asks Clive to help him gather an important ingredient for something called Chancer’s Stew.
Now he just has to work out what “unwonted violets” might be…

Unwonted violets, as it transpires, are common garden scorpion tails.
Once Clive hands them over, Yvan pops them into the pot, and cooks up a Chancer’s Stew that sets his head spinning.
It tastes somewhat like swamp water, apparently—swamp water with “complex, meaty notes,” no less.

The Search for Extremely Delicious Food

In the Hideaway’s Kitchens, Molly, the Head Chef,
asked me to gather ingredients for 《Fried Flying Lizard Liver》.
The ingredients are flying lizard liver and dragon medicinal herbs.

Because of Harpocrates’ advice, the ingredients were successfully assembled.
Yvan tasted the completed dish and was greatly stimulated by its flavor.
A rich texture and refreshing aroma run through it, making it seem like has a supreme exquisite flavor.

Not to Be Outdone

Molly, cauldron keeper at the Tub & Crown,
seeks to recreate an ancient recipe for “fried mortress of skyworm.”
Unfortunately, she’s not exactly sure what several of the ingredients are—drakesmint and skyworm.

Harpocrates helps Clive figure out the true nature of the ingredients Molly has asked for,
and when he brings them back to her, she rustles up a dish that sends Yvan soaring to new heights of gustatory ecstasy,
declaring the dish a “maelstrom of flavor and sensation.”

A 《Sword》’s Resolution

On the Hideaway’s Deck, Dorys, the Captain of 《The Stone Swords》,
asked that I search for Cole’s unit, which had been attacked by monsters.
It seems like reports from the plains surrounding Northreach have ceased [coming in].

Clive joined with Cole’s unit and rescued the Bearer.
Dorys worried over if she should have given the order to withdraw,
but when she learned of Cole’s “resolution”, she gave up on her doubts.

The Weight of Command

Cole and the party of Cursebreakers under his command have been attacked
somewhere near Northreach and
Dorys seeks Clive’s assistance in learning their fate.

Clive tracks down Cole and his party, and helps free the Bearers they were sent to liberate.
When Cole reports back in the hideaway, Dorys castigates herself for having put him and his people at risk,
but he soon convinces her that they did so willingly for the sake of the cause, and would do so again in a heartbeat.

A 《Sword》’s Resolve

A letter from Cole, one of the members of 《The Stone Swords》,
discussed me standing by Dorys, who is troubled.
First of all, it seems good to hear the story from her directly.

Dorys, who had gone out on a mission alone, was investigating a slave trader.
The merchant was her former master and benefactor,
and she conveyed her “resolution” [to her] and parted [ways] with her past.

Self-Determination

Clive receives a letter from Cole
expressing his concerns about Dorys’s wellbeing, and resolves to speak with her
and see what the trouble might be.

Clive follows Dorys on her mission to investigate a certain slaver,
and discovers that the woman is in fact Dorys’s former master.
Luckily, his most trusted Cursebreaker isn’t inclined to return to the fold, and instead helps ensure that the woman is sent back to Sanbreque to pay for her crimes.

《剣》の決意

A 《Sword》’s Hope

On the Hideaway’s Deck, Dorys, the Captain of 《The Stone Swords》
requested I accompany her on an investigative mission in Balmung Prison.
She says there might be a former companion of hers there.

In the cruel prison where Bearers were consumed for training and feeding magical beasts,
Chadwick, who we were searching for, fought until the very end.
The surviving girl was the final “hope” he had protected.

Nobody’s Tool

Dorys asks Clive
to accompany her to the prison of Balmung Dark,
where she believes an acquaintance of hers might be interned.

The prison turns out to have been a hellish place where Bearers in their droves were sacrificed in order to train—and even feed—a beast of unimaginable
ferocity.
While Dorys’s childhood friend Chadwick was lost,
hope lives on in the form of the little girl he gave his life to save.

The Briar’s Difficult Problem

At Dalimil Relay Station, Sava, L’ubor’s Disciple,
asked that I help make a meat cleaver.
His goal is to complete a knife that is “unique to Dalimil”.

After gathering information, Sava completed the meat cleaver.
Although it was [only] a passing grade, Master L’ubor recognized that it was a success,
and so [Sava] took his first step as a blacksmith.

Carving Out a Niche

Sava, an apprentice of L’ubor’s,
enlists Clive’s aid in finding out how to make a carving knife that somehow “embodies the spirit of Dalimil.”

Having asked everyone they can think of, Clive and Sava eventually come up with a plan for crafting the carving knife Sava has been asked to make.
The result is deemed “passable” by L’ubor,
and Sava succeeds in his bid to be employed as a blacksmith.

茨の難題

ダリミル宿場で、ルボルの弟子のサーヴァから、
肉切りナイフづくりを手伝ってほしいと頼まれた。
目指すは“ダリミルならでは”のナイフの完成だ。

聞き込みを重ね、肉切りナイフを完成させたサーヴァ。
師匠のルボルからは、及第点とはいえ合格を認められ、
鍛冶師としての第一歩を歩み始めるのだった。

The Guy Hot Enough to Boil a Hot Spring

At Dalimil Relay Station, Xaver, the Bathouse’s Manager,
requested that I investigate the limestone shelves where the hot springs gush out.
He says that absurdly hot water seems to be gushing from there.

The cause of the boiling water was a cluster of bombs that had gushed out of the limestone shelves.
Because Clive eradicated them, the heat of the water returned to normal.
Xaver was in an extremely good mood and reopened the bathhouse.

Hot Water

The owner of the bathouse in Dalimil
bids Clive journey to Doeznov Terraces and investigate
the cause of the waters having become too hot for his customers to bear.

The waters are close to boiling point because of the gang of bombs that has taken up residence on the Terraces.
But Clive soon clears them out, enabling the baths to reopen,
and business as usual to resume.

湯を沸かすほどの熱い奴

ダリミル宿場で、大浴場の支配人クサヴェルから、
湯が湧き出している石灰棚の調査を依頼された。
とてつもない熱さの湯が湧くようになったという。

熱湯の原因は、石灰棚に湧いたボムの群れだった。
クライヴが退治したことにより湯の熱さは元に戻り、
すっかり上機嫌のクサヴェルは、大浴場を再開させた。

A Shape Burning in His Heart

At Dalimil Relay Station, Matej, the Bakery Proprietor,
asked that I search for an artisan who had disappeared.
The artisan seems to be always watching Drake’s Fang.

I discovered the artisan is feeling sad after Drake’s Fang disappeared.
Due to Clive’s words, he thought of something.
And so a promising new product, Drake’s Fang Bread was born.

Use Your Loaf

A baker in Dalimil
asks Clive to track down his missing apprentice,
who can apparently often be found mooning at what remains of Drake’s Fang.

The baker’s apprentice is crestfallen at the fall of Drake’s Fang,
but a few choice words of inspiration from Clive set he wheels of inspiration in motion,
and he channels his loss into the invention of a novel bread product.

胸を焦がす形

ダリミル宿場で、パン屋の主人マチェイから、
行方をくらませた職人を捜してほしいと頼まれた。
職人はいつもドレイクファングを見ていたらしい。

ドレイクファングが消えて落ち込んでいる職人を発見。
クライヴがかけた言葉によって、彼は何かを思いつく。
そして期待の新商品ドレイクファングパンが誕生した。

Tuveko and Jonash

On the way to Boklad Market, a pair of mercenaries
asked for help with a merchant’s request to find a lost wagon.
Bandits seem to be throwing their weight around in the canyons in this area.

Clive marched into the bandit’s base and found the wagon.
The Shenbera Brothers, the pair of mercenaries, gave Clive
the promised reward, and then their attitude became strangely cold.

Get Cart

Clive is asked by a pair of mercenaries he meets on the road to Boklad
to help them recover a merchant’s missing wagon.
Apparently, it may well involve dealing with a gang of bandits.

Clive vanquishes the bandits and recovers the merchant’s wagon,
but upon receiving his reward, gets the distinct sense that the pair of brothers who have engaged his services
may not be the straight-shooting innocents they pretend to be.

ツヴェッコとヨナシュ

ボクラド市場への道中で、ふたり組の傭兵から、
商人に依頼された荷馬車捜しの手伝いを頼まれた。
この辺りの峡谷では、野盗が幅を利かせているようだ。

The Epic of the Dzemekys Wandering Travelouge

At Boklad Market, Jachym, the Dzemekys Researcher,
requested that I escort him on an archaeological survey.
His anxiety grows when runs off and leaves behind Clive, his escort.

Jachym, the Researcher, is attacked by bandits and monsters everywhere he goes.
Clive did escort him, but his primary purpose as an escort
was for [Jachym] to tell him of his own “vast knowledge”.

Onward to Discovery

An excitable scholar of Dzemekian history hires Clive
to watch over him while he investigates some ruins near Boklad,
then promptly disappears before his newly hired bodyguard can so much as blink.

Clive delivers the scholar from peril at the hands of bandits and beasts,
only to discover that he wasn’t employed as a bodyguard
so much as a sounding board from some extremely involved pontifications on the history of Dzemekys.

ゼメキス浪漫回遊記

ボクラド市場で、ゼメキスの研究者ヤーヒムから、
遺跡調査の護衛をしてくれないかと依頼された。
護衛役のクライヴを残して走り去る彼に不安が募る。

護衛しきったクライヴだが、彼の一番の目的は護衛役に、
自分の“うんちく”を聞かせることだった。

A Town where Sadness and Happiness Come and Go

At Boklad Market, Ondrej, the Tavernkeeper,
asked me to invite three regular customers over.
It seems that he wants to have a glass of fine wine [with them] after work.

Ondrej and his regulars are in a good mood after the fine wine.
They all play an important role in this market.
Here too, it is like the Hideaway. It is a world of mutual cooperation.

Kokuyōka: “mutual cooperation” is an idiom that has the idea of “give-and-take”, reciprocity, interdependence and people working together with each other.

Bearer of Good News

An innkeeper in Boklad
asks Clive to deliver the good news of three of his friends
about a particularly fine bottle of win he’s managed to get his hands on.

Clive delivers the news about the wine, and the four friends assemble to enjoy it.
Each has their role to play in ensuring that Boklad can go about its everyday business,
proving that it’s not just the hideaway that relies on community spirit to keep it going.

哀楽の行き交う街

ボクラド市場で、酒場の店主オンドレイから、
3人の常連客を呼んできてほしいと頼まれた。
仕事終わりに、上等なワインで一杯やりたいらしい。

上等なワインを前に、上機嫌なオンドレイと常連客。
彼らは皆、この市場において重要な役を担っている。
ここも隠れ家のように、持ちつ持たれつの世界なのだ。

All Living Creatures

At Boklad Market, Kveta, the Cargo Carrier,
requested that I search for the mercenary who was asked to investigate a cargo theft.
Josef, the mercenary, hasn’t been seen for the last few days…

I found Josef, the mercenary, in the goblin’s den.
He was covering for the goblins responsible for the cargo theft.
They too were just desperately trying to stay alive.

Live and Let Live

A porter in Boklad has had her packs ransacked,
and seeks someone to go after the sellsword whose help she enlisted to track down the culprits.

Clive tracked Josef down to a goblin encampment,
where he found the singular sellsword teaching the beasts survival skills rather than slaying them.

生きとし生ける

ボクラド市場で、荷運び人のクヴェタから、
積み荷盗難の調査を頼んだ傭兵の捜索を依頼された。
傭兵のヨゼフは、数日前から姿が見そをないそうだが⋯。

ゴブリンたちの棲み処で、傭兵ヨゼフを発見するも、
積み荷盗難の犯人であるゴブリンたちをかばっていた。
彼らもまた、必死に生きようとしていただけなのだ。

Grudges

On the way to Tabor, a dying Dalmecia soldier
begged me to defeat his companions who had turned Akashic.
When I heard his wish, he drew his last breath with a sense of relief.

After defeating the Akashic, I discovered a surviving Dhalmekia soldier.
He had been [one of] Hugo’s Private Soldiers and challenged me to a fight to get revenge on his master’s killer.
Clive avoided the fight, but his grudge didn’t disappear.

Bad Blood

On the road to Tabor, Clive discovers a gravely wounded republican soldier
who tells him of the aetherflood that consumed his unit’s nearby encampment, rendering everyone in it Akashic.
With his final breaths, the dying man asks Clive to slay his turned brothers-in-arms that they might not hurt any others.

Having dispatched the Akashic soldiers, Clive finds a survivor among their number,
only to learn that he is a loyal henchman of Hugo Kupka’s, and as such, is hell-bent on avenging his master.
While Clive manages to talk him out of fighting for his “honor,” he can’t quite manage to assuage the grudge the man bears against him.

遺恨

タボールへの道中で、瀕死のダルメキア兵から、
アカシアと化した仲間を倒してくれと懇願された。
願いを聞くと、彼は安心したように息を引き取った。

アカシアを倒した後、生き残りのダルメキア兵を発見。
フーゴの私兵だった彼は、主人の仇を討とうと戦いを挑む。
クライヴは戦いを避けたが、その遺恨は消えなかった。

The Leatherworker’s Money-Making Scheme

In the village of Tabor, Karel, the Leatherworker,
invited me to make a huge profit by obtaining a monster hide.
The goal is the seasoned Dread Avis of Corava Pasture.

After getting the Dread Avis’ hide and handing it over to Karel,
he [offers] to buy up Clive’s skills and invites [Clive] to join up with him.
When he sees Clive calmly refuse, he regretfully smiled.

Skin Trade

A merchant in Tabor makes Clive
an offer he allegedly can’t refuse—
—to hunt a dread aevis, and share in the seemingly considerable profits that its skin will bring when sold.

Clive kills the dread aevis, and takes its skin back to the merchant in Tabor, who is more than pleased to get his hands on such a valuable item.
He proposes that he and Clive go into business together,
but manages to take it in his stride when his offer is politely rebuffed.

革職人の儲け話

タボールの村で、革職人のカーレルから、
魔物の外皮を獲って大儲けしないかと誘われた。
目当ては、コラバ牧地の老練なドレッドエイビスだ。

ドレッドエイビスの外皮を手に入れ、カーレルに渡すと、
クライヴの腕を買い、ふたりで組まないかと誘われる。
冷静に断るクライヴを見て、彼は残念そうに笑った。

Tabor Stele Investigation

In the village of Tabor, Milos, the Ethnologist,
requested that I investigate the three stele in the village.
It looks like he is researching Tabor’s origins.

On each stele was an inscription about a different people.
The reason Tabor has a unique culture is that it is a fusion of different cultures.
When Milos learned that, he handed over a reward in satisfaction.

Carved in Stone

An aging scholar in Tabor asks
Clive to go and look at the ancient engravings dotted around town
in order to help him uncover the history of the local people.

The engravings tell the story of a town whose culture grew from the traditions of three distinct peoples.
The scholar, pleased to learn of Tabor’s eclectic origins, gives Clive a reward to say thank you for his time.

タボールの石碑調査

タボールの村で、 民族学者のミロシュから、
村にある3つの石碑を調べてきてほしいと依頼された。
タボールの成り立ちについて研究しているそうだ。

石碑には、それぞれ異なる民について書かれていた。
タボールの独特な文化が成り立った理由は、異文化の融合。
それを知ったミロシュは、満足そうに礼を渡した。

To His Birthplace

On the way to Stonehill, a dying Waloed soldier
begged me to bury his ring at his parents’ grave.
When I heard his wish, he drew his last breath as if falling asleep.

Clive found the grave where the soldier’s parents lay in 《The Forest of No Return》,
and buried the ring in it, just as [the soldier] had wished.
The soldier who fell on the battlefield had returned home at last.

Laid to Rest

A dying soldier on the road to Stonhyrr asks
Clive to deliver his ring to his parents’ final resting place.
The request made, he expires, hopeful that his soul might find peace at last.

Clive finds the dead soldier’s parents’ graves in the forest known as Neverturn,
and buries the man’s ring beside them, just as he was asked.

故郷へ

ストーンヒルへの道中で、瀕死のウォールード兵から、
自分の指輪を両親の墓に埋めてくれと懇願された。
願いを聞くと、彼は眠るように息を引き取った。

《帰らずの森》で兵士の両親が眠る墓を見つけ出し、
彼の願いどおりに、その下に指輪を埋めたクライヴ。
戦場で散った兵士は、ようやく故郷へ帰れたのだ。

Flowers for the Blacksmith

In the village of the People of Water, a woman named Wyrda,
asked me to deliver 《Minwu Flowers》 to her husband, the blacksmith.
It seems Wilda has an ulterior motive she won’t talk about.

The blacksmith Pavaat was a rather unrefined and inarticulate man.
Although he was fed up with his wife’s intentions to get him to open up to Clive,
he did take on the blacksmithing jobs without [any] problems.

It’s the Thought that Counts

Wyrda, wife of Haven’s master craftsman, Pavaat,
asks Clive to make her husband a gift of some Elder’s Blessings.
Quite why she asks this of him remains to be seen…

Pavaat gratefully accepts Clive’s gift and explains to him the significance the flowers hold to the Motes of Water.
The two successfully acquainted, he bids Clive come to him for any crafting needs—
—just as wily Wyrda willed it.

鍛冶師に花を

水の民の里で、ウィルダという女性から、
鍛冶帥である夫へ《ミンウの花》を届けてほしいと頼まれた。
どうやらウィルダには、口には出せない思惑があるようだ。

鍛冶帥のパヴァートは、いささか無骨で口下手な男だった。
クライヴと打ち解けさせようとする妻の思惑に閉口しつつも、
彼は無事に鍛冶仕事を引き受けてくれるようになった。

A Little Missing Person

In the village of the People of Water, Bilos, the Storage Keeper,
asked me to look for his daughter, Ruqa, who had been released from her work.
Apparently, she is very interested in Clive and His Crew, who came from the outside world.

I brought Ruqa, who had been at the edge of the stream, back to her father, Bilos.
For the people living in the village, opportunities to come into contact with outsiders are rare.
The gil used for purchasing [goods] in the outside world also seems to be hard to come by and valuable.

The Pursuit of Knowledge

Bilos, father of the family in charge of Haven’s stores,
would like to offer Clive their services.
Would that his outsider-obsessed daughter Ruqa not decided to make herself scarce mid-inventory…

Clive tracks Ruqa down to a nearby riverbank and is immediately assailed by
question after question about the outside world.
Like most Mysidians, she has never ventured beyond the wall, this being a dangerous duty only undertaken to trade for necessities their hidden home lacks—
—and for which purpose, any gil Clive can spare would be most welcome.

小さな尋ね人

水の民の里で、納屋守のビロシュから、
仕事を放っていった娘のルカを捜してほしいと頼まれた。
外界から来たクライヴたちに強い興味を持っているらしい。

小川のほとりにいたルカを、父親のビロシュのもとに送り届けた。
里で暮らす民にとって、外の者と接触する機会は稀である。
外界での買い付けに使うギルもまた、得難く貴重なもののようだ。

Pure White Longing

In the village of the People of Water, Manda, the Stablehand,
asked to meet Ambrosia, a white chocobo.
She said that if she asked her father, a ferryman, he would bring her by boat.

Ambrosia arrived in the land of Mysia on the ferryman Ogin’s boat.
Manda was thoroughly impressed by her majestic appearance and the mutual trust between [Ambrosia] and her master.
It looks like I can to ride Ambrosia in Mysidia from now on.

Bird of Passage

Manda, keeper of Haven’s stables, catches wind that Clive is the proud owner of a snow-white chocobo,
and insists on making her acquaintance.
Luckily for all involved, her father has a boat big enough to hold a ‘bo, and will momentarily be making a trip across the bay and back.

With the help of Manda’s father and an old friend of “Whiteheart’s,” Clive’s faithful steed makes clawfall on Mysidia,
drawing gasps of glee from the bird-mad Manda.
Ambrosia seems just as eager to explore this new land, together with her master.

真っ白な憧れ

水の民の里で、厩番のマンダから、
白チョコボであるアンブロシアに会わせてほしいと頼まれた。
船頭である彼女の父親に頼めば、船で運んでくれるという。

船頭のオギンの船で、ミシディアの地に到着したアンブロシア。
その堂々とした姿と主人との信頼関係に、マンダはすっかり感激。
今後は、ミシディアでもアンブロシアに乗ることができそうだ。

An Incurable Illness

In the village of the People of Water, Fannet, the Healer,
asked me to help heal the illness of an old man named Talor.
First, I’ll investigate his daily life to determine the cause of his illness.

Fannet guesses that the cause of Talor’s suffering is not an illness,
but is the result of a “curse” he brought back from the Tonberry Tribe.
It seems the strange “curse” hasn’t completely disappeared yet.

What Ails You

Haven’s healer, Fanet, is struggling to treat an elderly patient’s affliction,
and begs Clive’s aid in uncovering what might lie behind his mysterious illness.

Clive’s inquiries lead him to a tonberry altar with an offering upon it,
lending weight to Fanet’s theory that Talor may have unwittingly brought a beastman curse upon himself in trying to curse another.
Further research is required if she is to find a way to break the spell and end Talor’s suffering.

癒えぬ病

水の民の里で、癒し手のファネットから、
タロールという老人の病を治すために協力を頼まれた。
まずは彼の身の回りを調べ、病の原因を突き止めることに。

ファネットは、タロールが苦しんでいる原因は病ではなく、
トンベリ族から返ってきた“呪い”のせいでは、と推察する。
奇妙な“呪い”は、まだ完全に消え去ったわけではないようだ。

At the End of an Incurable Illness

In the village of the People of Water, Fannet, the Healer,
requested that I subdue the 《The Ritual Master King》, the leader of the Tonberry Tribe.
Unless I stop the cursing ceremony, Talor will continue to suffer.

Clive subdued 《The Ritual Master King》, also known as the Tonberry King and stopped the ceremony.
Talor fully recovered and regretted depending on the curse.
Even if the “curse”‘s existence is uncertain, there is no doubt he was saved.

Reign of Pain

Village healer Fanet believes that Talor’s curse may have been woven by a
tonberry king, to whom the suffering soul is yet bound by beastman magick.
She begs Clive to seek the creature out and end its reign once and for all.

After slaying the monstrous monarch and returning to Mysidia,
Clive finds Talor returned to his former, hale self—
—but whether this is a result of the curse having been lifted, or merely the weight of the painful memories that sat heavily on his shoulders, remains an open question.

癒えぬ病の果てに

水の民の里で、癒し手のファネットから、
トンベリ族の長である《祭主王》の討伐を依頼された。
呪いの儀式を止めねば、タロールは苦しみ続けるだろう。

《祭主王》ことトンベリキングを討伐し、儀式を止めたクライヴ。
すっかり快復したタロールは、呪いにすがったことを悔いていた。
“呪い”の存在が疑わしくとも、彼が救われたのは間違いない。

Spun Pride

In the village of the People of Water, a young man named Qatav
requested that I search for his work partner, Nasef.
He says he went to see a Mirage “keystone” and still hasn’t come back.

I rescued Nasef, who had been stranded deep in the forest and was being attacked by monsters.
Maintaining Mirage was the role of the Bearers Qatav and Nasef, and they carried out that duty of their own volition and with pride.

Roles of Honor

Many long hours have passed since Nasef went out into the woods to attend to the glamour-maintaining cairns,
but he has still not returned.
His friend Qatav begs Clive’s help in seeking him out.

Clive discovers Nasef cornered by flesh-eating fiends and is swift to dispatch them.
After returning to Haven, he also discovers that both Nasef and Qatav are Bearers—their innate affinity for channeling aether making them perfectly suited to the task of maintaining the glamour.
Unlike their counterparts in the world beyond the wall, however, they discharge their duties willingly, and with pride.

紡がれる誇り

水の民の里で、カタヴという青年から、
仕事の相棒であるナセフの捜索を依頼された。
ミラージュの“要”を見に行ったまま、戻ってこないという。

樹林の奥で、魔物に襲われ立ち往生していたナセフを救出した。
ミラージュの維持はベアラーであるカタヴやナセフの役目であり、
彼らは自らの意志で、誇りをもってその務めを果たしていた。

The Uninvited Guest

In the village of the People of Water, a woman named Jamila
asked me to investigate a suspicious figure that had appeared on the Cloaked Mountain Trail.
Jamila seems to have an idea of its true nature…

The suspicious figure’s true nature is a man named Herve.
Apparently, he arrived in Mysida while pursuing Jamila, who once had loved him back.
The man’s fate was left to Shula, the clan head, and the villagers.

The Uninvited Guest

A shadow sighted on the Cloak makes Jamila fear that Clive and his friends may not be the only outsiders to have found their way to Mysidia.
She has her suspicions as to the identity of the interloper,
and begs Clive’s aid in proving them one way or the other.

Exactly as Jamila hoped yet feared, the trespasser was Herve,
her beloved beau from a former life at the Veil.
Once, she was forced to choose between him and her family—now it is her family that must choose between letting him live, or safeguarding their secret.

招かれざる客

水の民の里で、ヤミラという女性から、
クローク山道に現れた怪しい人影の調査を頼まれた。
ヤミラは、その正体に心当たりがあるようだが⋯。

怪しい人影の正体は、エルヴェという名の男だった。
かつて愛し合ったヤミラを追い、ミシディアに辿り着いたらしい。
男の命運は、族長であるシュラと里の者たちに委ねられた。

Remembering the Witch

In the village of the People of Water, Dalina, the Clan Head’s Assistant,
requested that I exterminate the monsters that had appeared on the path leading to the Witch’s Tomb.
It is said that Dalina’s family has served as gravekeepers for the Witch’s Tomb for generations.

After driving away the monsters in the forest and visiting the Witch’s Tomb,
Clive heard from Dalina the story of the knight who had once visited the tomb.
Clive and His Crew prayed for the witch and the knight to rest peacefully.

Beyond the Grave

Dalina, trusted attendant to the Tributary of Haven, has many duties.
Attending to the witch’s grave is one among them,
but has proven impossible of late thanks to a pack of bloodthirsty beasts having taken up residence on the road to Witchdrop.

Clive clears the path to the witch’s grave—a simple stone inscribed with the name “Ysay.”
Dalina reveals that may decades prior, the grave was visited by the knight who once served as Ysay’s protector—mayhap the same knight Clive met before the Vare.
Now that his duty is ended, he can be with his lady once more.

魔女を偲びて

水の民の里で、族長の補佐をするダリナから、
魔女の墓へ至る道に現れた魔物の退治を依頼された。
ダリナの家は代々、魔女の墓の墓守を務めているという。

樹林の魔物を退け、魔女の墓を訪れたクライヴは、
ダリナから、かつてこの墓を訪れたという騎士の逸話を聞く。
クライヴたちは、魔女と騎士の安らかな眠りを祈った。

Longing

In the village of the People of Water, a boy named Ayrik
asked me to eliminate a monster that has tremendous water powers.
He says he observed it while following after Clive and His Crew as they headed towards the Sanctuary of Time.

The monster Ayrik saw was a magic creature produced by Waljas.
After wandering through the forest and going out-of-control, the magic creature finally arrived at
the towering waterfall where it is said the soul of Waljas’ birth mother rests.

Lost in the Woods

On a forbidden foray into the forest,
Ayrik met with a fearsome beast capable of felling trees and upending the earth with blasts of water.
There’s only one way of telling whether this fiend really exists, or is merely the product of the boy’s overactive imagination…

Clive tracks down the fiend Ayrik spoke of and ends its rampage.
It was another of Waljas’s egi,
seemingly drawn toward the falls where the infant’s grieving mother breathed her last.

渇望

水の民の里で、アイリクという少年から、
凄まじい水の力を持った化け物の退治を頼まれた。
時の祭殿へ向かうクライヴたちを追った時に目撃したという。

アイリクが見た化け物は、ワレアスが生み出した魔法生物だった。
樹林をさまよい、暴走の果てに魔法生物が辿り着いたのは、
ワレアスの生母の魂が眠るという、滝のそばだった。

My Friend is Walking a Rugged Path!

In the village of the People of Water, Shula, the Clan Head,
asked me to accompany her on a hunt of a ferocious monster called a guivre.
Apparently its tongue is needed to make medicine for the woman who will be Waljas’ wet nurse.

Clive and Shula hunted down the ferocious guivre and safely brought its tongue back home.
Clive saw his former friend reflected in Shula’s attitude towards life
and in 《The People of Water》’s way of life he saw the type of world he himself was aiming for.

Last Licks

Shula asks Clive to accompany her on a hunting expedition.
Their quarry is a reptilian horror called a guivre,
whose tongue is said to have potent medicinal properties——precisely what Waljas’s wetnurse requires to restore her spirits.

The pair work together to dawn their squamous foe, not only revitalizing the ailing patient,
but coming to a new understanding of
each other’s motivations and misgivings in the process.

険しき道を行く友よ

水の民の里で、族長のシュラから、
ギーヴルという凶暴な魔物の狩りに同行してほしいと頼まれた。
ワレアスの乳母となる女性に薬をつくるため、舌が必要らしい。

凶暴なギーヴルを狩り、無事に舌を持ち帰ったクライヴとシュラ。
クライヴは、シュラの生き様にかつての友を重ねるとともに、
《水の民》の生き方に、己が目指す世界の在り方を見るのだった。
