| Wait a minute. | I must have misheard. | 待ってくれ | |
| …So you’re saying the Mothercrystals are the source of the Black Region? | You mean to tell me that the Mothercrystals are the reason the world is dying? | ⋯ということは マザークリスタルが黒の一帯の原因だとでも? | |
| …Are you insane? | Are you mad? | ⋯正気か? | This is actually “sanity”, but it’s likely short for the idiom “to lose one’s sanity”. |
| [Cid looks up at Clive and shrugs] | [Cid looks up at Clive and shrugs] | [Cid looks up at Clive and shrugs] | |
| Cid | Cid | シド | |
| Who would tell such a tasteless joke? | I have been called that on occasion, but no. Not today. | こんな悪趣味な冗談 誰が言うよ | |
| The Black Region is a land of death. | We’ve all seen it firsthand. | 黒の一帯は 死の大地だ | |
| The land’s aether has been exhausted. Plants don’t even grow there. It’s impossible for something like magic to even be used. | Empty wastes where once were green meadows. Land drained so dry of its aether, not even the rats remained. | 大地のエーテルが枯渇し 草木も生えない 魔法なんて使えようはずもない | |
| All of that is because the Mothercrystals absorbed the surrounding aether. | But where was it all going? I spent years searching for an answer, until I saw it standing right in front of me. | それもすべて マザークリスタルが 周辺のエーテルを吸い尽くしたからなのさ | |
| I’ve been investigating this for a long time. I’m not just saying this without a reason. | There in the selfsame crystals we look to for their so-called blessing. | 長い間 調べてきたんだ 根拠もなしに言ってるんじゃないぜ | |

| That’s it… | Alright, listen. | そうだな⋯ | |
| [Cid picks up his portable crystal and draws Clive and Jill’s attention to it] | [Cid picks up his portable crystal and draws Clive and Jill’s attention to it] | [Cid picks up his portable crystal and draws Clive and Jill’s attention to it] | |
| Cid | Cid | シド | |
| This crystal. | Take this crystal. | クリスタル | |
| It’s something everyone uses. Yes, it absorbs aether and turns it into magic, but—— | How does it allow us to conjure magicks? Answer: By drawing ambient aether from the air. | 誰もが使ってるこいつは そう エーテルを吸って魔法に変えるが—— | |
| Where the hell is it mined? | And where do these crystals come from? | 一体 どこで採れる? | |
| [the door to Cid’s Room cracks open] | [the door to Cid’s Room cracks open] | [the door to Cid’s Room cracks open] | |
| [Clive and Jill turn to see Gav standing in the doorway] | [Clive and Jill turn to see Gav standing in the doorway] | [Clive and Jill turn to see Gav standing in the doorway] | |
| Gav | Gav | ガブ | |
| They’re cut out of the Mothercrystals in the various countries, right? | That’s easy. They’re mined from the Mothercrystals. | 各国のマザークリスタルを削り出してんだろ | |
| [Gav comes into Cid’s Room with a basket of Marelle’s fruit] | [Gav comes into Cid’s Room with a basket of Marelle’s fruit] | [Gav comes into Cid’s Room with a basket of Marelle’s fruit] | |
| Cid | Cid | シド | |
| In other words, the true nature of the Mothercrystals themselves doesn’t change. | They’re one and the same—although admittedly, this here fits more easily in the pocket. | つまり マザークリスタル自体も 本質は変わらないってことだ | |
| [Jill frowns and looks skeptically at Cid] | [Jill frowns and looks skeptically at Cid] | [Jill frowns and looks skeptically at Cid] | |
| Jill | Jill | ジル | |
| The Mothercrystals are nothing more than gigantic crystals… | But the Mothercrystals are massive… Some as large as mountains. | マザークリスタルは ただ巨大なクリスタルに過ぎない⋯ | |
| [Gav puts the basket of fruit on Cid’s desk and braces himself on the desk] | [Gav puts the basket of fruit on Cid’s desk and braces himself on the desk] | [Gav puts the basket of fruit on Cid’s desk and braces himself on the desk] | |
| Cid | Cid | シド | |
| That’s the theory. Unlike when people use magic, they continue absorbing aether. | So you see the problem. Imagine just how much aether can be drawn by something that size. | 理屈はそうだが 人が魔法を使うときとは違い エーテルを吸い続けている | |
| Where it’s flowing to? Even I don’t know that though. | As to where it’s all going, mind… Well, I can’t know everything, can I? | どこに流れてるかは 俺も さすがに分からんがね | |
| [Cid shrugs] | [Cid shrugs] | [Cid shrugs] | |
| [Clive looks down in thought, shaking his head] | [Clive looks down in thought, shaking his head] | [Clive looks down in thought, shaking his head] | |
| Clive | Clive | クライヴ | |
| Mothercrystals are sacred beings… That’s what we’ve been taught. | We are taught that the Mothercrysatls are divine—their aether a gift from the heavens. | マザークリスタルは神聖な存在⋯ 俺たちは そう教えられてきた | |
| That is exactly why people revere receiving aether as the crystals’ divine blessing—— | For centuries, nations have fought and fallen for want of that gift. | だからこそ 人は エーテルの享受をクリスタルの加護として崇め—— | |
| They’ve been continually fighting over that divine blessing. | If what you say is true, how did no one else see it | その加護をめぐり 争い続けてきたのだと | |

| If the reality [of them] became known, it would be inconvenient, wouldn’t it? | Who says they didn’t? Maybe the truth was inconvenient. | 真実を知られると 都合が悪かったんだろうな | |

| Of course we’ll keep doing that. We’ll handle it the same as before. | I didn’t say that. I made a promise,and I intend to keep it. | もちろん続ける これまで通り対処していくさ | |
| However, if we ignore the Mothercrystals, this world will sink into the Black Region. | But if we continue down this path, there’s only one fate that awaits the realm. | しかし マザークリスタルを放っておけば この世界は黒の一帯に沈む | |

| “Cid, that guy, he’s finally going to do it, isn’t he? He’s starting with Drake’s Head.” Gav was making a commotion about it. | Cid’s been talking about bringing down a Mothercrystal since I’ve known him… but that’s all it’s ever been—talk. | シドの奴が ついにやるんだろ まずはドレイクヘッドからだとガブが騒いでた | |

| Sanbreque was just defeated by the Kingdom of Waloed in the recent Battle of Belenus… | Seems the hiding the royalists gave him wasn’t enough to dampen old Sylvestre’s spirits. | ザンブレクは 先のベレヌスでの戦いで ウォールード王国に負けたばかり⋯ | |
| However, it seems they’re already staring to rearm. The imperial capital is in chaos with the people and supplies jostling around in it. | His legions are on the march again—this time due south. | それなのに 早々に再軍備を始めたらしい 人や物資が入り乱れて 皇都は混乱してる | |

| That said, it’s a unique opportunity. With all that activity, it won’t be difficult to sneak in. | Still, might work to our advantage on this occasion. Wars breed chaos. On the front lines and at home. | とはいえ またとない好機だ それだけけ動きがありゃ 潜り込むのはそう難しくない | |

| I’m Gaute. Welcome to 《The Collaborator Connection Center》. | Gaute, at your service. Well, at the hideaway’s service, anyway. | 俺はゴーチェ 《協力者連絡窓口》へようこそ | “center” is the counter or ticket/teller window of a business where transactions take place. |

| Gaute, the Clerk | Gaute | 手代のゴーチェ | |
| I help with Mr. Otto’s work, so he entrusted this to me. I guess you could call me his “clerk”. | Me? I do what Otto tells me. Suppose you could say I’m his right-hand man. | オットーさんの仕事の手伝いで ここを任されてる 言ってみりをゃ“手代”ってところかな | |
| I owe that person a debt of gratitude for saving my life, so I want to repay the favor, even just a little. | He’s a hard master, but not nearly as hard as my old one was. When that man beat me bloody and threw me out onto the streets to die, it was Otto who found me, and took me in. | あの人には命を救われた恩があるから 少しでも恩返しがしたくってさ | |
| So now I’m running 《The Collaborator Connection Center》. I’m consolidating all the troublesome matters we’ve gathered from our collaborators in various places. | The way I see it, I owe him. And so I help him look after the ledgers, as well as reading through all the reports coming in from our allies across the Twins. | それで今は《協力者連絡窓口》をやってるんだ 各地の協力者から集めた厄介事をまとめてるよ | |
| If there are still any unresolved problems, I’ll tell you where they are. | And if it sounds like someone out there needs our help, I make a note so I can point any willing volunteers in the right direction. | もし まだ解決してない問題があれば 俺が場所を教えてやるからな | |
| If you keep at it, Mr. Otto will also be delighted. Help me out whenever you feel like it, okay? | So, what d’you say? Are you willing? There’s no surer way of turning Otto’s frown…a little less frowny…? | あんたが頑張ってくれたら オットーさんも喜ぶぜ 気が向いたときに力を貸してくれよな | |
