Oh man, that’s annoying… I’ve run out of lumber…	Damn it. We’ll be needing more wood, but if I step away to fetch any, this lot’ll be down around our ears.	やれやれ 困ったな⋯ 木材が足らなくなっちまった⋯

Oh, you! This is perfect! Could you take a moment and go get some 《Lumber for Repairs》?	Ah, you there! Perfect timing! I couldn’t persuade you to fetch me some timber, could I?	おお あんた! ちょうどよかった! ちょっくら 《修繕用の木材》をもらってきてくれねえか?
Do you want to help out the carpenter?	Fetch wood for the carpenter?	大工の仕事を手伝いますか?
✓ I’ll help him out	✓ I’d be happy to.	✓ 手伝う
← I’ll pass	← Sorry. Not right now.	← やめておく
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
Understood.	I’d be happy to.	分かった
Geoffroy, the Head Carpenter	Geoffroy, Head Carpenter	大工頭のジョフロワ
Oh, you’ll take it on?	Thank you! You’ll be helping me and the hideaway both!	おお 引き受けてくれるか
I’m here repairing the wall, so I can’t leave.	Takes a lot of work to keep this place standing. More than we can mange, if I’m honest.	壁の修繕をしているところでな 手が離せなかったんだ

[You’re doing] carpentry work?	It certainly looks like you’ve got your hands full.	大工仕事か

The Sky Civilization ruins are naturally sturdy, but if they’re left alone for a long time, they’ll collapse.	You can say that again. The Fallen knew their craft, make no mistake, but not even their handiwork lasts forever.	空の文明の遺跡は元々頑丈ではあるんだが それでも長年放っておくと崩れちまう
So that’s why we have to keep repairing them frequently. It would be terrible if the young trees we took such trouble to raise were crushed.	That’s why the walls need shoring up. Can’t have the vegetable patch crushed before our first harvest now, can we?	だからこうして こまめに修繕しとくんだよ せっかく育てた苗木が 潰されちまったら大変だしな

So, where can I go to get that wood?	No. I suppose not. Alright, where can I find this wood?	それで その木材というのは どこに行けばもらえるんだ?

Try getting in touch with the guys at the Lumberyard. They should be able to tell you what you need.	Ask over at the White Adze. They’ll point you in the right direction.	木材作業所にいる奴に声をかけてみてくれ 必要なもんを教えてくれるはずだ
Thanks. I’m counting on you.	Thanks again. I really appreciate the help.	すまないな 頼んだぞ

Could you go get some 《Lumber for Repairs》? If you ask the guys at the lumberyard, they should be able to tell you [where it is].	If you could bring me that wood, I’d be ever so grateful. The lads at the White Adze should be able to help you out.	《修繕用の木材》をもらってきてくれないか 木材作業所にいる奴に聞けば教えてくれるはずだ

Sure there’s problems, but it’s definitely better than being out in the open. It keeps out the wind and rain and it’s plenty sufficient as a hideaway.	Oh, it’s not as bad as all that. and it’s a damned sight better than the alternative. We’re safe, we’re warm, and we’re hidden. What more could we ask for?	たしかに問題はあるが 外に比べりゃ断然マシさ 雨風はしのげるし 隠れ家としては十分だ
Which reminds me, I heard you’re a newcomer. You need all sorts of things, right? Go ahead and take this.	Now stop fretting and take this. You’ve earned it. Welcome to the fold.	そういや あんた新入りなんだってな 何かと入用だろう これを持っていってくれ

It’s fine! Life here is [all about] mutual cooperation!	It’s not a matter of need, my friend! You’re one of us now!	いいってことよ! ここでの生活は 持ちつ持たれつさ!	“mutual cooperation” is an idiom that has the idea of “give-and-take”, reciprocity, interdependence and people working together with each other.
