Rowan, the Peddler	Rowan, Traveling Trader	行商人のローワン
Tch, to think I thought a person I could finally rely on showed up, and it’s a Bearer of all things…	Typical. A bloody Bearer. And just when I thought my luck had changed…	っと ようやく頼れそうな人が来たかと思えば よりによってベアラーとは⋯
[Rowan crosses his arms over his chest and looks down and to the side]	[Rowan crosses his arms over his chest and looks down and to the side]	[Rowan crosses his arms over his chest and looks down and to the side]
Rowan, the Peddler	Rowan, Traveling Trader	行商人のローワン
…No, I guess it’s good that there’s just someone to ask. I feel awkward using someone else’s Bearer, but I guess I don’t have a choice.	Still, better a crumb of crystal than an empty hand, I suppose— though pains me to use another man’s Branded.	⋯いや 頼める相手がいるだけいいか 他人様のベアラーを使うのは気が引けるが仕方ねえ

As you can see, my wagon is in that state. Chocobos have flocked to it and are eyeing my valuable cargo.	These blasted birds must’ve caught a whiff of my cargo, now they’ve got me surrounded. And I was running late as it was.	見てのとおり 俺の馬車はあの有様でな チョコボたちが 大事な積み荷を狙って群れてきやがった

I want deliver the urgent package first, but I can’t just leave this place.	I’ve got something special needs delivering before the rest, but I dare not leave my cart untended.	急ぎの荷物だけでも先に届けたいんだが ここを離れるわけにもいかなくてよ
So, could you make a quick trip to 《Martha’s Inn》 up ahead and deliver this package?	You couldn’t run it up to Martha’s Rest for me, could you? Needs to get there quick, mind.	そこでだ この先の《マーサの和宿》まで ひとっ走り荷物を届けてもらえないか?

Thanks a lot. This is the package. I want you to give it to the “stablehand” at Martha’s Inn.	That’s the spirit. Alright, here. You hand that to the stable master, and no one else.	ありがてえ こいつがその荷物だ マーサの宿の“厩番”に渡してほしい

I don’t mind if you take the reward from the stablehand afterwards. Tell him it’s to repay your master.	I’m owed a little something for it. If he gives it to you, pass it along to your master by way of thanks.	厩番からの報酬は そのまま受け取って構わんからな あんたの主人に礼だと言っておいてくれ
[Rowan rests a hand on his hip]	[Rowan rests a hand on his hip]	[Rowan rests a hand on his hip]

Well then, I’m counting on you.	Be off with you, then. And don’t go taking nay detours on the way.	それじゃ よろしく頼むよ

Clive	Clive	クライヴ
…Are you the stablehand? I was asked by a peddler to come here and deliver a package.	Are you the stable master? I was asked to deliver this to you.	⋯あんたが厩番か 行商に頼まれて 荷物を届けに来た
[Clive gives Gerard the Entrusted Package]	[Clive gives Gerard the Entrusted Package]	[Clive gives Gerard the Entrusted Package]
Gerard, the Stablehand	Gerard, Stable Master	厩番のジェラード
It’s certainly addressed me, but…	This is for me, right enough.	たしかに 俺宛のようだが⋯
To think he’d entrust my luggage to a Bearer. No way, did something happen to the peddler…?	Not sure what some Bearer’s doing bringing it to me, though. Where’s that fool of a peddler got to?	ベアラーに荷物を預けるなんて まさか あの行商に何かあったのか⋯?
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
His wagon was surrounded by chocobos. It won’t be able to move for a while I think.	He couldn’t come himself. His cart’s surrounded by wild chocobos.	馬車がチョコボに囲まれていた しばらく動けないだろう
[Gerard chuckles]	[Gerard chuckles]	[Gerard chuckles]
Gerard, the Stablehand	Gerard, Stable Master	厩番のジェラード
I see. So that’s the reason, huh?	Ha. Sounds about right.	なるほど そういうことか
Undoubtedly, he loaded it as usual with a massive amount of 《gysahl greens》.	He’ll have it full of gysahl greens, no doubt. Crammed with them, if I know him.	きっと いつものように 大量の《ギサールの野菜》を積んでたに違いない
[Clive crosses his arms over his chest]	[Clive crosses his arms over his chest]	[Clive crosses his arms over his chest]
Clive	Clive	クライヴ
Gysahl greens?	Gysahl greens?	ギサールの野菜を?
Gerard, the Stablehand	Gerard, Stable Master	厩番のジェラード
It’s the chocobos’ favorite food. I guess the seal was loose, so they were drawn by the smell that leaked out.	Chocobos go mad for them, don’t they? And if you forget to seal the cart up tight, the smell gets out, and birds come running from miles around.	あれは チョコボの大好物だ 封が甘くて 漏れた匂いに集まってきたんだろう
…We use chocobos to move cargo on the main roads around here, so gysahl greens, their feed, sells very well.	Don’t get me wrong—they’re a fine investment for a savvy merchant, especially round these parts.	⋯ここらの街道じゃ チョコボを使って荷を運ぶ だから 餌になるギサールの野菜もよく売れるのさ

Gerard, the Stablehand	Gerard, Stable Master	厩番のジェラード
If he had had some restraint, he could have made a profit, but it seems that peddler got a little too greedy.	But you can’t get greedy—as our mutual friend is learning the hard way.	節度を守ってれば儲けれたものを あの行商も 少しばかり欲をかいたようだな
Anyway, this was an urgent package, so you’ve helped me out. Tell your master thanks for me.	Still, I got my wares, and that’s all that matters. Be sure to pass your master my regards.	何にせよ こいつは急ぎの荷物だったから助った あんたの主人にも礼を言っておいてくれ

Both travelers and peddlers visit Martha’s Inn. So there’s plenty of chocobos around here.	We get travelers and merchants aplenty through here. Enough to keep me busy, that’s for certain.	マーサの宿には 旅人も行商も訪れる チョコボもそれだけ たくさんいるってわけだ

Rowan, the Peddler	Rowan, Traveling Trader	行商人のローワン
Was I naive to make money off of gysahl greens? However, now I’ll smell like chocobos for a while…	Thought I’d make my fortune off them greens. At this rate, I’ll just end up stinking of blooming chocobos…	ギサールの野菜で金儲けなんて甘かったか しかし これじゃ当分チョコボ臭くなるな⋯
