This Week's Tsukkomi Aurica

らほーい、オリカだよ！ 相変わらず「おたよりコーナー」以外のどのコーナーよりも投稿が多いこのコーナー。でも安心してね、採用数を増やすことは全く考えていないから。 究極のレアコーナーとして、揺るぎない地位を守っていくから、応援宜しくね。 それじゃ早速、みんなからの投稿を紹介するよ！

Rahooi, Aurica here! Like always, we've got lots of submissions here: more than in all other corners excepting the "Question Corner". But don't worry, okay? As I'm not thinking about increasing the number of submissions I'll be running here. I want to keep this place's reputation of being an extremely rare corner, so please help me out there. Okay, time to give a quick look at the submissions you sent us!

オリカさんの絵を描いてみました！ (チーフ)

I tried drawing Aurica! (Chief)

ありがとう！！　とっても可愛く描いてもらえて、あたし嬉しいよ！ というわけで、あたし決めたよ。このコーナーでは、せっかくチーフさんが可愛く描いてくれたこの姿で進めていくことにする！ 安心して！　姿形は違えども、中身はいつものあたしだから！

Thanks!! I'm so glad you made such a cute drawing of me! Okay, I've decided it! I'll continue having this form for a little longer since Chief drew such a cute picture of me! But don't worry! Even if my appearance is different, I'm still the same little ol' me in the inside!

オリカさん二つだけ｢らほ～い｣なんですね 正しいのは｢らほーい｣、｢らほ～い｣どちらですか？ (あかつき)

Aurica has said "Raho~i" only twice. Which is one is correct? "Rahooi" or "Raho~i"? (Akatsuki)

わかってないなぁ。どっちも正しいし、どっちも使うよ。 「ー」と「～」の違いは、感情の違いだよ。 「ー」を使うときは「にょまり…」って感じの時で、「～」を使うときは「みにゃ！」って感じの時なんだ。 みんなも使うときは、この感情の流れに沿って使い分けてね。

You don't know, right? Both are correct and I use both of them. The difference between the "oo" and the "~" is due to the feelings they each have. You use the "oo" when you're feeling "meowbally..." and the "~" when you're feeling all "mimeow!" Everyone, please make sure to use them properly according to how you're feeling, okay?

ツッコミシャ希望 (ストガー)

I want a Tsukkomi Misha. (Stoger)

	それ、すっごくゴロがいいね！ でも「おん」はイマイチ良くないかな。 もちろん、ミシャちゃんと一緒にツッコミできたらあたしも嬉しいけど、そうしたらトウコウスフィア至上最強のツッコミコンビが出来ちゃって、まさにトウコウスフィアの警察！って感じになっちゃうから、他のみんながやりにくくなっちゃうんじゃないかな？	That could be a good grounder! But I think this isn't really the best to time to get it "on". Of course it'd be glad if I could play the straight man with Misha, but if we did that, we'd become the strongest straight man combination in the entire Toukousphere, and we'd end up being the Toukousphere's police! Or something like that. And that'd make things very hard for everyone else, right?
	それはないから安心して。 オリカと私で、バッチリちょうど釣り合って中和されるくらいだから。 まずはその姿を元に戻しなさい！	I'm relieved that didn't happen. If me and Aurica combined strengths, we would each counterbalance the other so much that we would just neutralize each other. And anyway, go back to your normal form already!
	うん。もうこのコーナー終わりだしね。 やっぱり自分の身体の方がいいし。胸が軽くなっちゃってバランス取りにくかったよ。	Okay, and this ends this corner. As I thought, I'm better off with my own body. Having a smaller chest size also made it hard for me to keep my balance!

Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

久し振りに私がここを仕切ることになったわ。 というわけで、テクニカルサービスセンター。 　 このセンターではテクニカルな投稿以外は受け付けまセンター。 ぷーくすくす…

So I was allowed to manage this place again after such a long time. So then, Technical Service Center. This is the place where any submissions sans Technical ones are centrejected. Pffttt *chuckles*...

受け付けまセンター Centrejected

意味が分かりません＞＜ I don't get it 　 　5(2%) 不意打ち来たーー！ A surprise attack! 　 　69(33%) インフェルさんへの個人的な A toast to Infel's individuality. 　 　25(12%) シャキーーーーーーーーン！ Ba-dump tish! 　 　111(53%) Fun's minivote system -TOU=Hyoon-. Made by A.T

前回のトモロさんの意見に対する回答の中でインフェルピラが稼働する限りとありましたが、インフェルピラって修復しなくても平気なんでしょうか？また、そのための技術などはあるのでしょうか？ やはり半壊状態なので停止＝その瞬間に大陸消滅なのかと気にかかり出したらきりがないです。 (アルマ)

About the answer that was given to Tomor in the previous issue, it was said in it that everything's gone to be fine as long as Infel Phira continues working, but is that going to be true even if Infel Phira doesn't get repaired? And do they even have the technology to do that in the first place? I've endlessly thought that since it was half destroyed, it would someday stop functioning, and the continent would disappear as soon as that happened, so I'm worried about it. (Alma)

インフェル・ピラはモードメタファリカになった時点で、全ての機能が再構成されて初期化されているから、実は実質回復している状態になっているわ。 あまり理解しづらいかも知れないけど、インフェル・ピラっていうのは、とても小さなブロックが組み合わさって出来ていて、それらが形状記憶合金のように相対的な位置関係を把握し、その並びで回路が形成されるのよ。 だから、形状変化が起こると、その回路自体が変化し、効果も変わる。更にメタファリカに変化する際に、現在有るパーツだけを使って再構築を行っているから、実質欠損部分というのは存在しないの。 まあ、私が想定していたものより１０％くらい小さなものになってはいるけど。

After Infel Phira was changed to Mode Metafalica, all of its functions were restructured and formatted, so we could say it's as if it had been completely restored. It might be somewhat hard to understand, but Infel Phira is made up by a large number of incredibly small blocks, which take form according to their position similarly to shape memory alloys, and they structure the circuits running through the server depending on their positioning as well. So whenever it changes shapes, its circuit lines change as well, which also changes its effects. When it changes to Metafalica Mode, only the currently used parts undergo the restructuring, so it's as if it currently had no damaged parts. But well, these blocks ended being about a 10% smaller than I had originally hypothesized.

第３世代のレーヴァテイルなら、自分がアドレッシング（マッピング）された塔でない場所に移れば、２や３であったみたいなレーヴァテイル質に由来する病気にかからないし、インストールも不要なのではないかと思ったのですが、いかがでしょう？ (KEI＋)

I was thinking that if a Third Generation Reyvateil moved to a place where the Tower to which she is addressed (mapped) isn't located, and thus the Reyvateil qualities that control her awakening didn't activate like cases in 2 and 3, she wouldn't need any Installs. But is that the case? (KEI+)

そういう選択肢も有りますね。自分の遺伝子に含まれているレーヴァテイル質が発症する圏外に出れば、普通の人間として余生を送ることが可能ですから。 でも、恐らくそのうち、沢山の人達が交流していくことで、エオリアの塔とティリアの塔、そしてI.P.D.など様々なレーヴァテイル質が混在し、自分がどこの塔の遺伝子を持っているか分かりにくくなるのではないでしょうか。 もちろんその頃には、それを検査する方法も確立しているとは思いますが。

They actually have that choice. If they leave the active range of the Reyvateil qualities that are included in their genes, they could live the remainder of their lives as normal humans. However, it's very possible that as the relationships between the people of each region improve, the Reyvateils qualities of all the known Reyvateils types, like those from the Tower of Eoria and the Tower of Tyria, and the IPDs; will all end mixing up, which in time would make it quite hard to discern to which Tower their genes are connected. Of course, I think a way of finding that out should be established already by the time that happens.

塔間ネットについてです。今後、何十年、何百年もすれば地上のいろんな所に町ができると思いますが、そうなると中継衛星の範囲内だけど、各塔の影響範囲外の町もできると思います。そんな場所にいた場合は詩魔法や第３世代の発症とかはどうなるんですか？ 塔の影響範囲外だから詩魔法も発症も無いのでしょうか？また、中継衛星の影響範囲も気になります。特に某管理者さんは方向音痴なので迷子になった挙句･･･なんてことにならないかとても心配です。 (Ａｒｔ one lico)

I've got a question about the Inter-Tower Network. I'm thinking that in the future, after a few decades or centuries, people will have built several cities on the surface, and while many of them will be inside the range of the relay satellites, I'm also thinking that many other of them will be out of the effective range of each Tower. In that case, how would new Third Generation Reyvateils awaken or Song Magic be used in these places? They are outside the effective range of the Towers, so there wouldn't be any Song Magic or awakenings in there, right? I'm also worried about the effective range for the relay satellites, especially about what could happen if a certain Administrator got lost in an area near the limit for that range... in fact, I can't stop worrying about several things. (Ａｒｔ one lico)

もちろん、圏外だったらレーヴァテイル質は絶対に発症しないよ。もちろん詩魔法も使えなくなるし。 でもきっと、中継衛星は今後も作られて、アルシエルをくまなく覆うようになるとは思うけどね。

Of course: Reyvateil genes can't activate if the people carrying them are outside the range, and Reyvateils outside them can't use their Song Magic either. But I'm sure that new relay satellites will be made in the future, and we might end up having some ones that can cover the entirety of Ar Ciel.

我々が主にx平面上の移動で生活しているのに対し、塔の皆さんはy軸方向の移動が多いと思います。そのような環境では、我々とは発達する感覚に違いが出るでしょうか。 熱気球に搭乗して高空に上がった時、ゆっくりすぎて上昇してるか下降してるかわからなかった経験から疑問に思いました。 (santapiyo)

While we live mostly moving through the x horizontal axis, I think the people of the Towers mostly move through the y vertical axis. Given the difference in environments, I'm thinking it would be natural for them to have developed different feelings from us, right? I just came up with this question because I didn't have experiences like ascending or descending gently until I boarded a hot air balloon and headed for the skies. (santapiyo)

そうだな。高さに対する恐怖というものが、若干緩いかもしれんな。まあ生まれてからずっと、自分たちの住む下側が空であれば、鈍くなるのも当然だろう。 だが、例えば高さ以外の部分では、そちらの世界の人々よりも弱い部分はあるだろうとは思うが。例えば「揺れていない」ことで落ち着かないとかな。実際、私達の世界はほたる横丁ではなくとも、基本揺れている。ホルスの翼でも、塔本体でもな。だから地上でそういった違和感があるかもしれん。重症になれば、揺れていない事が原因で気持ち悪くなる者も出るかも知れないな。

You're right. As for having a fear of heights, it's not uncommon. However, since you're always seeing the sky below the place where you live here, it's natural to get desensitized to it after some time. However, I think there are several aspects in which we're weaker in comparison to the people from your world. A good example of this is being unable to settle down about "the ground not trembling". And this wasn't just limited to Firefly Alley: it's foundation trembled of course, but other places in our world like the Wings of Horus and the Tower itself all tremble too. That's why being on the surface makes us feel uncomfortable. If this get any more serious, we might get people feeling sick just because the ground doesn't move at all.

前回のテクニカで「第3塔では第3塔の、第1塔では第1塔のレーヴァテイルになる」「第3塔で第1塔のレーヴァテイルが出来たりはしない」との事でしたが、I.P.D.の場合はA.T.D.と違って第3塔付近でも発症するとI.P.D.になるのか、それとも第3塔A.T.D.になるのでしょうか？ イマイチこの辺りの事をちゃんと理解していないので、今更な質問でしたらすみません。 (南部新)

In the previous Technical Service Center it was said that "only Third Tower Reyvateils will be born in Sol Cluster" and "only First Tower Reyvateils will be born in Sol Ciel", but how is it for the IPDs? I was thinking that unlike the ATDs, the could awaken as IPDs no matter how close they were to the Third Tower, or would they become ATDs if they were at the Third Tower? I haven't been able to really understand it, so sorry for asking a repeated question. (Shin Nanbu)

I.P.D.は、塔間ネットサポートが特殊なのよ。システムが若干違うから、A.T.D.とは一緒くたに出来ないし。 答えから言えば、I.P.D.の遺伝子を持つ者は、第３塔付近では発症しないわ。I.P.D.とA.T.D.は、貴方達の世界でいえばWindowsとMacのようなもの。互換性がないから、発症リンクも発生しないのよ。

The support given to us IPDs by the Inter-Tower Network is special. Since a number of systems are very different between the ATDs and us, it's impossible to lump us together. Now for the answer to your question, those that have IPD genes won't be able to awaken at the Third Tower. IPDs and ATDs are as different as the Windows and Mac computers existing in your world. There is no compatibility between them, so there is no linkage or connection between the awakenings of both types.

Editor's Postscript

快調に飛ばしているトウコウスフィアですが、最近なぜかツッコミオリカへの投稿が凄いです。コーナーに人気があるのか、それともとりあえず変なこと思いついたら投稿しているのか、はたまた運試しか（笑）。枠数が増えないコーナーなだけに、ちょっと面白い現象です。 それでは、次回もどうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます！ (土屋)

The Toukousphere is having an excellent run, but we have recently gotten an amazing number of submissions for the Tsukkomi Aurica corner. Is the corner actually popular, or are they sending submissions there because they began thinking something weird about it, or are they just trying their luck? (*laughs*) Since we haven't really raised the cap for the number of submissions each corner will be taking, it was a very interesting phenomenon to observe. Well then, I hope you'll continue supporting us next issue too! (Tsuchiya)

今週のトウコウスフィアは？ How was this issue?
