Choice 1: 何？ What do you want?

Choice 2: 嫌な予感が…… This doesn't bode well.

Choice 1: 今節もカツカツだ This is a bad month for that. （Balthus ⤴）

Choice 2: 断る Out of the question.

取り立てにガルグ＝マクまでご足労かけたあのおっさんが、手ぶらで帰るだけだ。

おれとしても何とかしてやりてえが、先立つもんがなけりゃ、どうしようもねえ。

Guess that debt collector traveled all the way to Garreg Mach for nothing.

If I were you, I'd feel bad about leaving the poor guy hanging like that, but it is what it is.

もうフォドラから出ちまうくらいしか、おれが自由になる方法はないんかねえ……。

The only way to escape my financial burden is to get clear out of Fódlan...

Choice 1: 去ったら寂しい The thought saddens me greatly.

Choice 2: 気をつけて Good luck out there.

だいたい、金が欲しかったら、男爵家の当主の地位を投げ出してねえって。

If money was all I cared about, I never would have walked away from inheriting a baron's house.

Choice 1: 当主だったとは I didn't know that about you.

Choice 2: 貴族に見えない You don't seem very noble to me.

半分くらいは、優秀な弟に追い出されたようなもんだ。

My distinguished little bro took my place. Fact is, he's a much better man for the job.

cut out for a gig 仕事に差し支える

家を継ぐ際もいろいろとあったしなあ。今の生き方が性に合ってるよ。

……お前はどうなんだ？

Having that title was nothing but fuss. Fuss is the worst. This way of life suits me much better.

And you?

親父さんは名うての傭兵団の長だった。ゆくゆくはそれを受け継ぐ……

なんて生き方も、お前にはあったんじゃねえか？

Your pops was a renowned mercenary leader. It can be safely assumed you'll follow in his footsteps.

But don't you feel like that life was decided for you?

Choice 1: わからない I'm not sure I follow.

Choice 3: 考えたことがない I've never thought of it that way.

Choice 2: あったと思う You've got a point.

よっと……こんなもんか。お前らみてえな連中が、ガルグ＝マクに入り込んだら困るんでな。

……うおおおっと！？　……お前か。音もなく近寄らんでくれ。

いや、それより何でお前がここに？まさかおれの後を追ってきたのか？

Phew! Guess that's it. Can't let lowlifes like you into Garreg Mach. Nobody likes troublemakers. Trust me.

What the?! Oh... It's you. Don't sneak up on people. It's rude.

But we can discuss your lacking manners another time. Why are you here? You following me, pal?

Choice 1: そのとおりだ I am.

Choice 2: 秘密だ That's a secret.

当主に返り咲く気なんざ、欠片もねえってのに……

しつこく送り込んできやがる。おれの継母はよ。

She really thinks I'm gonna try to reclaim my title. Has he clearly doesn't know me too well.

Yet she keeps sending fools my way like the stubborn shrew she is. That's my stepmother for ya.

弟とは異母兄弟でね。弟の母親は……息子のためなら何だってやるような女だ。

だが、弟は紋章を持ってねえからな。希少な紋章持ちのおれが家に戻れば……

強引に当主に返り咲くこともできる。あの女は、そんな妄想に憑かれてんのさ。

Well, he's my half bro. And his mother is... devoted, to say the least. She'd do anything for him.

Sadly, he had the nerve to be born without a Crest. And here I stand with a rare one swimming in my veins.

She's convinced I'll return one day to take back my title by force. Completely off her rocker, that one.

Choice 1: 何か手を打とう We can fix this.

Choice 2: 分かり合えない？ Can't you reason with her?

それに、このままがいいんだよ。継母がおれだけを目の敵にしてるほうがな。

It's best for everyone that I take the brunt of her malice. I can handle it just fine.

あるいは、弟自身が執心の対象になっちまうことも……それは困る。

Or maybe my little bro would become the target of her ''good intentions.'' Can't allow that to happen.

飛んできた凶刃がお前に当たるようなことがありゃ、皆に申し訳が立たねえだろ。

If that assassin's dagger took you out, everyone here would fall to pieces. How would I explain that?

“レスターの格闘王”を捕まえて、そんな言葉を吐く奴がいるとはねえ。

それじゃ、本当に守ってくれんのか、お前のそばで好きに過ごさせてもらうぜ。

To think someone who can keep up with the Exalted King of Grappling would say such a swell thing.

I'm a betting man, so I'll take the bait. Let's see if you really intend to protect me... or if those were just pretty words.

支援A

おれのほうは大丈夫だ。お前は母と、クパーラを念のため見ていてくれ。

I'm covered. But just to be safe, I need you to check on my mother and Kupala.

……お前、またつけてきたのか。おれを守るって言葉、本気だったんだなあ。

Still following me, huh? We have got to work on those manners, pal. Unless you really meant that bit about protecting me.

Choice 1: 今の男は？ Who was that?

おれの母と、母の生まれ育ったクパーラを守るためにな。

Choice 2: クパーラとは？ Kupala?

万が一にも、継母がおれの母に手を出さないようにな。

Whether I'm above the dirt or below it, it's on me to protect my mom and her home, Kupala.

戦争で名を上げて、アダルブレヒト家に戻ろうと画策しているんだとさ、おれは。

まあ、母に手を出す利点は皆無なはずだが、何をしでかすかわからんから、念のためだ。

She thinks I'm making a name for myself before my glorious return to house Albrecht. Being delusional is her sport.

There's little advantage to her going after my mom, but she's unpredictable. Gotta stay vigilant.

その故郷ってやつが、ちと特殊な場所ではあるんだが……。

お前はレスターの“山の民”について、聞いたことはあるか？　……なさそうだな。

パルミラとの国境、険しい山奥に棲む小さな勢力……それが“山の民”クパーラさ。

Where she's from... it's kind of an odd place.

You know the folks who live in the mountains of the Alliance? Heh, guessing that's a no. Few do.

Imagine a place with no influence to speak of, nestled in the mountains of the Almyran border. That's Kupala.

とにかく閉鎖的な連中でな。最低限の交易以上に外と関わろうとしねえんだ。

諸侯からしても、わざわざ奪い取る価値のない土地だ。それでいいんだろ。

おれの母は、そんなクパーラの奴らの中じゃ、例外中の例外ってわけだ。

山の外に出て、おれの親父に助けられ、愛を育んじまうくらいだからな。

They're incredibly isolated, though. Even their trade relations are remarkably limited.

Doubt that'll change. The land lacks resources worth fighting over. Probably for the best, honestly.

Oh, but back to my mom. She was different. An exception to the rule of Kupal.

She left the mountains, was rescued by my dad, and fell madly in love with him.

Choice 1: 運命的だ Sounds like destiny.

Choice 2: 周囲に受け入れられた？ Did his family accept her?

親父は他に貴族の娘を娶らされ、家を継がせるべき子を作る羽目になった。

そんなところにずっといたくねえだろ？母はクパーラに戻ったってわけさ。

My dad was in a tough spot. He was obligated to marry a fellow noble and produce a fitting heir.

Nobody'd want to live out their days where they're utterly unwelcome. So my mom returned to Kupala.

入学時の調査で、おれがシュヴァリエの大紋章を持つと判明したせいで……

親父は周囲の反対を押し切って、卒業と同時におれを当主の座に就かせた。

だが、おれの紋章は特別だったらしく、公表を控えるように教団から釘を刺された。

親父はそれを周囲に言えず、おれは当主を辞退するほかなくなっちまったのさ。

During my enrollment examination, they discovered that I bear the Major Crest of Chevalier.

My dad decided to resist his family's wishes and make me the head of the house after I graduated.

Thing is, the truth of my special Crest was kept a secret, by decree of the church.

He couldn't tell anyone about my prized bloodline, so I was forced to step down as the legitimate heir.

Choice 1: 教団の命令？ The church hid it?

Choice 2: なぜ言えなかった？ Why was it a secret?

それが明らかになった時に、クパーラで何が起こるか、お前にもわかるだろ。

Imagine what would happen to Kupala if it got out. We both know it would destroy their way of life.

とはいえ……おれは、てめえが犠牲になったなんて思っちゃいねえし……

今の生き方を気に入ってる。家の事情がなくても、同じように生きるだろう。

だがよ……母やクパーラの連中がフォドラの秩序のために犠牲にされるのは避けてえさ。

やっぱ戦争で名を上げて、守ってやれるくらいの権力をおれが握るしかねえか……？

But don't get me wrong. No matter what life's thrown at me, I'm no victim.

Like I've said, I prefer it this way. I've gotta be free. Even if things were different, I'd still choose this life.

But I can't let my mother and her people pay the price for keeping peace in Fódlan. Wouldn't be right.

All I can do is make a name for myself in battle and secure enough power to protect them. Failure isn't an option.

パルミラとの国境一帯を丸ごと、自治領として帝国に組み込むみてえだな。

Because of you, those mountains will be treated as an independent region of the Empire.

フォドラとパルミラが国交を結ぶんなら、あの土地の価値は急激に高まるからな。

東方教会を立て直して、パルミラとの国境一帯を教会領にしちまうみてえだな。

Because of you, those mountains will be considered church turf, and the eastern church will be restored.

Choice 1: 聞いたのか Now you know.

あれは、おれがやるべきことだった。

Choice 2: 勝手に進めてすまない I can't take all the credit.

呆気にとられたっつうか、拍子抜けしたっつうか……。

……まあ、なんだ。ありがとう。礼を言わせてくれ。

まだまだ課題は多いが……それでも大きな一歩を踏み出せた。

Guess you could say I was disappointed to find you'd beaten me to the punch.

But what matters is results. So... Thank you. There. I said it. Won't say it again.

There's still a lot to figure out. The road ahead won't be easy. But this was a giant leap forward.

クパーラの問題を片づけて、それからのはずだったんだ。

けど、お前に先を越されちまったんじゃしょうがねえ。おれも腹をくくる。

I was going to wait until I had figured out a way to ensure Kupala's safety first.

Guess that excuse is out the window. So now... It's time to take the biggest gamble of my life. I'm prepared for the worst. Expecting it, really.

お前の立場が軽くねえことはわかる。おれが相手じゃあ、釣り合わねえだろう。

だから、勝手気ままなおれじゃねえ、お前を支えられる男に、おれはなる。

性に合った生き方なんざ、クソ食らえだ。お前のそばにいたい。

今じゃ駄目だってんなら、一年くらい鍛え直してくる。だから……

Look, I know it's a big ask. I'm beefy, but that aside, I'm not the most eligible bachelor on the block.

But I promise to become...better. Not so selfish and careless. I wanna support you. Make you happy.

The life I live makes me comfortable, but... Comfort be damned! I need you by my side. Always.

If I'm not good enough now, just give me time. A year, maybe? Two years? Five tops.

Choice 1: 今がいい No need to wait. I love you as you are.

Choice 2: なら一年くらい…… A year, eh?

今のは言葉の綾というか何というか……一年後でいいなら、今でもいいじゃねえか！

I mean, why not work on myself with you? That makes sense, I swear!

金の稼ぎ方も今までと同じってわけにはいかねえし、おれたちの家も必要だ。

Ah, speaking of lavish... I know I need to sort out my finances. We'll need a house and all that good stuff.

蒼月・銀雪の章

……昔、お前がおれを守るって言ったことがあったよなあ。

実はあん時、おれはお前なんかに守られてたまるかよ、と思っていたのさ。

逆にお前のことを守ってやって、おれの強さを示してやろうってな。

It feels like a lifetime ago, but remember when you told me you'd protect me?

At the time, I had no idea how to take it. I wasn't sure I could bear letting someone else look after me.

I was sure that, in the end, I'd be the one protecting you. That I'd be the strong one. That's how it's always been for me. Guess I was wrong...

おれたちがこうなるのも当然の定め……っつたら言い過ぎかね。

まあいい。これからも、片時も離れず守り守られていこうじゃねえか！

後日談

紅花の章

Bylethとバルタザールの婚儀と盛大な祝宴が開催されたのも束の間、再び“闇に蠢く者”との戦いが始まる。過酷な戦場に身を投じた二人は、常に帝国軍の陣頭に立って敵を圧倒し続け、積み上げられた戦果は見方にも畏怖されるほどであったという。

その後の二人の足跡を帝国の公的な記録から辿ることはできないが、苛烈な剣と剽悍な拳を振るった二人組の物語は、様々な形でフォドラ各地に伝わっている。中でも「妻を人質に取られた風来坊、妻より犯人の命を心配する」という題目が特に有名である。

Almost as soon as Byleth and Balthus finished their lively wedding celebration, the battle with those who slither in the dark began in earnest. Leading from the front lines, the couple drove the enemy back again and again, causing such carnage on the battlefield that even their Imperial allies and subordinates were intimidated. After hostilities came to an end, their names faded from official historical records but persisted in folk tales. Of the stories that spread to every corner of Fodlan and survive to this day, the most prominent one features criminals who threaten to abduct a traveler's wife. The traveler laughs and wishes them the best of luck.

蒼月の章

Bylethは、セイロス聖教会の大司教の座に就くと同時に、バルタザールとの婚姻を発表した。これには彼の性格を知る多くの者から反発があったが、大司教は自身の行くところどこへでも彼を随伴し、彼もまた周囲の予想を遥かに超える立派な言動で大司教に応えてみせたため、やがて二人を祝福する声が世間に溢れるようになったという。

バルタザールは、大司教の身辺を警護する役を担いながら政務をも助け、特にフォドラに住まう少数民族の保護や諸外国との交流において、多くの功績を残している。

After taking her place as the new archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Byleth announced her marriage to Balthus. The people were reluctant to accept this union at first, considering his reputation, but his natural charisma in speeches and his ability to exceed expectations eventually won their blessing. Though mostly noted for his strength and dedication as a bodyguard, Balthus also provided counsel. It is said that many civil and diplomatic reforms owe their origins to his advice.
