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。

| So you’re from Martha’s place? In that case, this’ll be no problem. Give me a hand. | Wait—that’s the Slumbering Chocobo you’re wearing—you’re one of Martha’s are you? | お前 マーサのとこのモンだったのか それなら話が早い 手を貸してくれ | |
| Actually, there’s been more monsters around here lately. | Good. She won’t begrudge the use of you, then—not while there’s wolves about. | 実は最近 ここらに魔物が増えてきてな | |
| I was planning to lure them out with their favorite food and deal with them all at once, but… | We tried dealing with them ourselves. Laid out bait, thinking we might swoop in and slaughter the lot. | 奴らの好物でおびき寄せて 一気に片づけるつもりだったんだが⋯ | |
| [More] gathered than I expected, and it became way too much for me to handle. | But we didn’t expect the pack to be quite so bloody big. | 思いのほか集まってきて どうにも手に負えなくなっちまった | |

| They were probably driven from their habitat by the Black Region, and came down to this area. | I expect the Blight drove them here. They must have fled their homes for greener pastures. | 黒の一帯に棲み処を追われ この辺りまで下りてきたんだろう | |

| If you’re a Bearer working for Martha, then you’re pretty skilled, right? Could you exterminate the monsters up ahead? | Martha’s no fool, so she must see something in you. Do us a favor and get rid of them, will you? | マーサに雇われたベアラーなら 腕も立つだろう この先にいる 魔物を退治してくれないか? | |
| Do you want to take on a monster extermination [job]? | Agree to deal with the wolves? | 魔物退治を引き受けますか? | |

| Thanks a lot. I’ll make sure to thank Martha properly. | Aye, that’s what I’m talking about! | ありがてえ マーサにはちゃんと礼を言っとくからよ | |
| I set up the bait in a place a short distance from here. By now, the monsters should be swarming around it. | I’d wager the greedy bastards are still over yonder, finishing off our bait. | ここから少し行ったところに餌を設置してある 今頃 魔物たちが群がってるはずだ | |
