Did you take the trouble to bring this over? It’s a big help since walking is painful for me.	My thanks. I hope you do not think me lazy for waiting to be served like a lord.	わざわざ 運んでくれたのかい 歩くのが辛いから助かるよ
My former master made me work so hard that I ended up hurting my leg.	Only, my former master did not use me kindly, you see. Left me half-lame, truth be told.	前の主人に散々働かされて 足を痛めてしまってね
But this place accepts even someone like me. I really appreciate it.	But Cid took me in nonetheless. The hideaway is the home I never knew, and a mighty fine one at that.	でもここは こんな私でも受け入れてくれる 本当にありがたく思っているよ

Oi, your food’s here.	Uh… Your food.	おい食事だ
[the patron continues reading his book]	[the patron continues reading his book]	[the patron continues reading his book]
Brusque Bearer	Studious Bearer	そっけないベアラ
Yeah, I’ll eat it when I’m done reading…	Just a moment. I need to finish this.	ああ 読み終わったら食べるよ⋯
I want to be helpful to everyone here… Right now, I just want to gain some useful knowledge…	I won’t be a burden. I’m of no use to anyone as I am, but maybe, if I can master this…	ここのみんなの力になりたくてね⋯ 今はとにかく 役に立つ知識を得たいんだ⋯
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
If you don’t eat it soon, it’ll get cold.	Alright, but see that you eat it before it gets cold.	早く食べないと冷めるぞ

Oh, you’re done carrying everything? Thanks a lot.	All done, I presume? Splendid.	おお 運び終わったか ありがとよ
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
All the patrons I carried food to were Bearers.	They were bearers. All three of them.	料理を運んだ先の客は すべてベアラーだった
Do Bearers live just like people do in this place…?	Not slaves waiting upon their master’s pleasure, but men waiting to be fed like equals.	ここでは ベアラーが人と同じように暮らしているのか⋯?
Kenneth, the Head Chef	Kenneth, Kitchen Head	料理長のケネス
Yeah, that’s right. This Hideaway is that sort of place.	Indeed. Equality is the very cornerstone upon which our little community is founded.	ああ そうさ この隠れ家は そういう場所だからな
[Kenneth looks out at the Bearers in the Lounge]	[Kenneth looks out at the Bearers in the Lounge]	[Kenneth looks out at the Bearers in the Lounge]
Kenneth, the Head Chef	Kenneth, Kitchen Head	料理長のケネス
Bearers are treated like slaves outside of here.	Beyond these walls, we are scorned as slaves…	ベアラーってのは 外では奴隷みたいに扱われる
They can’t talk or eat on their own. And of course it’s impossible for them to get hot meals.	Speaking only when spoken to, eating only what scraps our masters deign to give us. The first hot meal here ist he first many will have known.	自分から話すことも 飯を食うこともできない もちろん 温かい飯なんてありえねえ
But in this Hideaway, they can talk of their own volition and eat of their own volition.	In the hideaway, we are free. Truly free. To speak as we please, when we please. And to eat what and when we desire.	でも この隠れ家じゃ 自分の意志で話して 自分の意志で飯が食えるんだ	“to eat” as it’s written here can also be an idiom for “to make a living”. “volition” is the term usually translated as “will”.
That alone makes coming here worth it, right?	More than reason enough to trust in Cid’s vision, wouldn’t you say?	それだけでも ここに来た甲斐があるってもんだろ?
——Well then, as promised, I’ll give you your reward. You can take whatever’s in that chest.	Now, I promised you something for your trouble, did I not? The contents of my strongbox are yours to do with as you will.	——さて 約束通り駄賃を渡そう そこの箱の中身を持っていくといい

Kenneth, the Head Chef	Kenneth, Kitchen Head	料理長のケネス
It’s fine for everyone to freely pass the time here, but I just wish they’d eat their food before it gets cold.	Eat your food while it’s hot, and see that none goes to waste—follow those two simple rules, and you will always be welcome at the Fat Chocobo.	みんな ここで自由に過ごすのはいいが 飯だけは冷めないうちに食ってほしいもんだ
