メルセデスさんみたいに、いつも落ち着いているの、凄いと思います。

どうしていつも、そうやって落ち着いていられるんですか？

I wish I could be calm like you.

How are you so unflappable?

誰かの迷惑にならないようにすれば、それで十分じゃないかしらねえ。

必要以上の無理なんてしなくていいのよ～。どうせ、なるようにしかならないんだから。

I mostly try to stay out of everyone's way.

There's no point in overexerting yourself. Anything that needs doing will get done eventually.

だからこういう時も、つい慌ててしまうんです。

どうしたら、メルセデスさんみたいに堂々としていられるでしょうか？

So in situations like this where I have to talk to someone, I panic a little.

Please, teach me how to be as calm and collected as you are.

私みたいになると、きっといろいろ苦労しちゃうわよ～？

Being like me is more trouble than it's worth.

訓練場、良かったら一緒に行く？私とだとゆっくりになっちゃうけど～。

Come on, let's head to the training grounds. I may slow you down though.

……だ、だけど、やっぱり不安です！ボク、先に行きますね！

But I'm going to anyway. See you there!

主は私たちの悩みも、ため息もすべて受け入れてくださるんだから～。

……それで、イグナーツは何か悩みが？良かったら相談に乗るわよ～。

The goddess receives all our prayers and our sighs.

What's bothering you? I'd be happy to talk about it, if you'd like.

実はその、将来のことが不安で……。父からは騎士になれと言われてますけど……

向いてないと思うんですよね、ボク。こんな頼りない騎士なんていないでしょう？

I'm just uncertain about my future. My father wants me to be a knight.

I don't think I can handle it. Can you imagine a knight as pathetic as me?

メルセデスさんもそうなら、ボクの将来があやふやなのもしょうがないかなって。

Knowing that you aren't sure about your future, I don't feel quite so...alone.

でも、絵描きさんになりたいっていうのは、本当に素敵な夢だと思うわ～。

私のいた教会にはね、女神様の描かれたとっても立派な天井画があったの～。

つらい時には、ため息をつきながら女神様のお姿を見上げたものだったわ。

あの天井画は、今までずっと……いいえ、今も、私にとっての支えなのよ～。

I really do believe that the life of an artist is a wonderful dream to pursue.

There was a beautiful painting of the goddess in the church where I used to live.

Whenever times were difficult, I would stare up at her and sigh. Thinking about that painting helps me even now

ボク、もっと真剣に考えてみます。ありがとう、メルセデスさん！

I'll give that some thought. Thank you, Mercedes.

独学なので描き方も我流ですし、自分の才能についても確信が持てません。

こんなことで父を説得できるのか……。考えれば考えるほど自信がなくなって。

I'm self-taught, so my style and technique are probably all wrong. I don't know what I'm doing.

Besides, how could I persuade my father? I can't even imagine his reaction. He'd disown me.

私だって、それはおんなじよ。養父の意向に流されるまま、ここにいるの。

だけど……

I'm in a similar position. I have been carrying out my adoptive father's wishes up until this point.

But...

夢を見ることさえ諦めてしまったら、人生は悲しいだけのものになってしまうから……

不自由な人生の中でも、小さな夢を少しずつ叶えていけばいい。私はそう思うわ～。

I can't imagine a life in which I've given up on my dreams. How could anyone find happiness in that?

Even with your father's demands, you can still work toward one small dream at a time.

やっぱり、メルセデスさんはしっかりしていますね。憧れます。

You're really wise, Mercedes.

私はただ、あなたに夢を諦めてほしくないだけよ～。

だって、あなたが描く女神様の絵を、私だって本当に見てみたいんだもの。

I just don't want you to give up on your art.

Besides, I genuinely do want to see your painting of the goddess.

あの、ところでさっきメルセデスさんも同じって言ってましたけど、それは……

You said you're in the same position as I am. What did you mean by that?

……でも、きっと何とかなるわよ～。夢を捨てさえしなければ、やっていける。

Whatever may happen, I'm sure everything will work out in the end if I don't give up on my dreams.

ボク、メルセデスさんなら、どんな場所でもいろんな人を助けてあげられると思います。

あなたの包み込むような優しさは、きっと誰にとっても救いに……あっ！

I think that, whatever you do, wherever you go, you'll help a lot of people.

You're so kind, I know you can— Oh!

どうしたのかしら～？

You have a strange look on your face.

どんなお姿なのか上手く想像できなくて……それが、急に閃いたんです！

Whatever shape I gave her, she never seemed quite right. But it's just come to me.

すぐに絵の道具を持ってきますから！待っててくださいね！

I have to get my supplies. Stay right there.

……まあ、なるようにしかならないわよね。

I'll say an extra prayer for him.

後日談

紅花の章

家を出たメルセデスは、母と共にファーガス地方の小さな村に孤児院を開く。そして戦争で家を失った子供たちを、出身や身分を問わず保護し、分け隔てなく育てた。

一方、イグナーツは父と兄を説得し、画家として身を立てるべく修業の旅に出る。各地で美しい風景や人々の暮らしを描き続けていた彼は、旅先でメルセデスとの再会を果たした。

十数年後、大作『微笑みの聖女』が評価されイグナーツは画家としての実力を世間に認められる。そんな彼の傍らには、描かれた聖女と瓜二つの女性が寄り添っていたという。

Mercedes left home and opened a small orphanage in the Faerghus region with her mother. There, she took in and raised children who had lost their families in the war, regardless of their blood or circumstances of birth.

Some years later, she was reunited with Ignatz, who had persuaded his family that he should become a painter and traveled all through Fodlan painting beautiful landscapes.

His greatest masterpiece, however, was a portrait that was entitled The Smiling Saint. It is said that the woman whose face inspired it became the love of his life, and that she spent all of her remaining days close by his side.
