Even people living as people,
even living normally and dying normally——

Cid’s Lore PowerPoint Presentation: The Black Region & the Mothercrystals

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]
CidCid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

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?

[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]

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]

The Mothercrystals

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

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

I’ll launch a stolas to tell her about you guys.
And its the Dame who’ll see you safely through Northreach.
I’ll send a stolas in the morning. Let her know you’re coming.

As long as you have that amulet, she’ll spot you from a distance.
She’ll smoothly get you through the checkpoint.
We go way back, and she’s a true friend of the cause.
I’m sure you’ll get on like a house on fire.

Thank you, Otto.
Just in case, I’d like to ask about the other person’s characteristics.
That’s…good of you, but…who is this “Dame” and where will I find her?ありがとう オットー
念のため相手の特徴を聞いておきたい
[Otto shrugs][Otto shrugs][Otto shrugs]

She’s commonly called 《Madame》 and
is an extraordinarily beautiful prostitute, so you’ll recognize her right away.
She’s the proud proprietress of Northreach’s foremost house of ill repute—the Veil.通称《マダム》

…When you see her, don’t sit on the fence.And she’s quite a woman, if you know what I mean.⋯彼女を見て 日和るなよ

Oh man, you’re a guy not worth teasing.Don’t go blinding her with your charm now, lad.やれやれ からかい甲斐のない奴だな
But it’ll be lonely not seeing your scowl [around].
Make sure you return.
I’ll be expecting a full report when you get back.だが その仏頂面も見られなくなると寂しいもんだ

There’s a collaborator of ours in Northreach.
She’s commonly called 《Madame》 and she’s an extraordinarily beautiful prostitute.
The Dame goes by many titles—including some that would make you blush—
but only a trusted few know her *real* name.

As as you have the amulet I gave you, she’ll spot you from a distance and

Don’t worry about finding her. As long as you’ve got that satchel, she’ll find you.渡した“お守り”を持ってりゃ 向こうから見つけてくれる

…Oh, you’re the newcomer, eh?Ah…. You’re the new lad, aren’t you?⋯おや あんた新入りだね
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 smiles at Clive and shrugs][Gaute smiles at Clive and shrugs][Gaute smiles at Clive and shrugs]
Gaute, the ClerkGaute手代のゴーチェ
Here we compile information from our collaborators
about the problems happening in various places.
Otto’s put me in charge of reading through the reports sent in by our allies and picking out any
problems that might warrant the attention of the Cursebreakers…or any other willing volunteers.
ここでは 協力者たちからの報せをもとに

[Clive crosses his arms over his chest][Gaute smiles at Clive and shrugs][Gaute smiles at Clive and shrugs]
Gaute, the ClerkGaute手代のゴーチェ
You also get asked to solve troublesome matters, right?
That kind of talk gathers around me too.
And there’s no shortage of problems, I can tell you. Or maybe I don’t have to—I’ll warrant a
strapping lad like you’s got people begging him for help wherever you go!
あんたも 厄介事の解決を頼まれることがあるだろう?
その手の話は 俺のとこにも集まってくるんだ
Where are problems like that happening right now——
If you want to know that kind of thing, I can tell you that here.
Anyway, if you’re ever interested in taking a look over the list, just say the word.今どこで どんな問題が起きてるのか——

It feels great helping other people, doesn’t it?
It’s fine if you do them whenever you feel like it. Thanks for the help!
Reckon you could probably tick off the odd thing here and there. They say little acts of kindness
are their own reward, but if that ain’t enough, these have got proper bounties on them and all!
人助けをすると 気分がいいもんだぜ
気が向いたらでいいから 協力をよろしくな!

✓ About Your Role in the Hideaway✓ Ask about Gaute.✓ 隠れ家での役割についで
Gaute, the ClerkGaute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

I was charmed into it again.Just following orders.また振り回される“charmed into it” is literally “to wield/wave” something.
It is also an idiom for getting someone to do what you want by talking to them.

Don’t you mean, “I wanted to be charmed into it”?Funny, I never took you for the type.“振り回されたい”の間違いじゃねえの?

We aren’t going to war, are we?Drake’s Head is the keystone of the empire.戦をしに行くわけじゃないんだぜ
Since the Mothercrystal is the country’s keystone, its security is tight.
It’s always better to slip past [security] with a small amount of people.
Oriflamme’s in chaos, yes, but that doesn’t mean we can march an army through her gates.
The fewer our numbers, the better our chances of going unnoticed.

Cid, I… I don’t know if I can. Ifrit still seems to…come and go as he pleases.俺はまだ 力をつかめてない
イフリートになろうとしても なれないかもしれない
“understand” is literally “to grasp/size/catch hold of”.

For Dominants, it’s something they automatically master

And originally, your sword skills were given Rosaria’s seal of approval.And did I ever tell you about how he was once the greatest Shield in Rosaria?そもそも お前の剣の腕はロザリアのお墨付きさなんだ
