Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	はぁ…なんて素敵なんでしょう。 この日を１ヶ月半、どれ程待ち望んだことか。やっと私のタイトルコールの…	*sigh* ...This feels so wonderful. How much I've awaited this day since half a month ago. At last, I can make the title call...
	このコーナーはアルトネリコの世界の法則や技術的な質問に、真面目に回答するコーナーよ。 アルトネリコの世界の謎に挑戦したい人は、是非トウコウして頂戴。 ただし、質問は必ず一人１こずつ。このルールは守って。	This is the corner where we seriously answer questions about the physical laws and technical aspects of the Ar tonelico world. Those who want to challenge the mysteries of the Ar tonelico world, we'll receive your letters here. However, we'll only answer one question per person. Make sure to follow this rule.
	ちょっとジャクリ！！！何て事をしてくれるんですか！！！	Wait a second, Jakuri! What do you think you are doing!?
	次回は私の番ね。ふふ、タイトルコールお疲れ様。	Next time, it'll be my turn. Huhu, good job with the title call.
	……。	...

クロアが某母さんにヒュムノスで思いを伝えるシーンがありましたが、レーヴァテイルが思いを伝えられる時は普通の言葉よりも、やっぱりヒュムノスで語られた方が心に響くものなんですか？ (eryo)

There was a scene in which Croix sang in Hymmnos to convey his feelings to a certain Mother, but then that means that when you are conveying your feelings to a Reyvateil, it would be better to do in Hymmnos than in normal speech to make them resound in her heart? (eryo)

	まあ…そうね。でも別に、ヒュムノスで謳われたから心惹かれなくもない状態にならなくもなかったという訳ではないわ。 人間がヒュムノスを謳ったときは、やはり何らかの形で感じ取れるモノは存在する。けれど、それはレーヴァテイル同士や大地の心臓との対話ほどの精度では無理なのよ。 所詮は人間。邪念と雑念の塊だから。 クロアが詩で、無謀にも私に…挑戦状を叩き付けてきた事に関しては、…まあ、あれよ。ヒュムノス自体から何かを感じ取ったというよりかは、あの事だけの為にヒュムノス語を覚えたって事とか、あと、…ほら、あの時の…不意打ちっていうか、心の準備が出来る前にいきなり謳われて大苦戦、っていうか！	Well... that's right. But that doesn't necessarily mean I wouldn't have felt attracted to him because he sang in Hymmnos. When a human sings Hymmnos, there are several things that can be perceived from the song in a way or another. However, it's absurd to ask of them to have the same level of precision that would be had in conversation between fellow Reyvateils or with a Heart of the Land. After all, they're humans, and that's why they have lumps of negative and idle thoughts. When Croix sang, it was like... he recklessly had slapped me with a challenge letter... something like that. So rather than having felt something from the Hymmnos itself, he actually learned Hymmnos only to do that or something, so... err, at that time... it was like a surprise attack, so it was an extremely hard fight that started because he sang to me before I could be mentally ready! That sort of thing!
	…！！！！	...!!!!
	な、何よ！！言いたいことが有るならハッキリ言いなさい！	W-what!? If you wanna say something, then spit out already!
	ジャクリちゃんでも恋はするんだね！	Even Jakuri falls in love, huh!
	…もう少しオブラートに包んで言いなさい。	...At the least say it in a more roundabout way.

この質問はここなのかと思いつつ、どうして円田ふるるになったんですか？ 塔ヶ崎になると思ったのに．．．． (水珀)

I just came up with this question, but why did she get the name Fururu Enta? I thought she would be Togasaki... (Water Amber)

	うーん、そういえば何で私「円田さん」なんだろう。あまりシナリオ中では考えなかったけど、意味有るのかな？	Hmm, now you mention it, I really was "Miss Enta" for some reason. I didn't really think anything about it during the scenario, but does it have any meaning?
	ふふ…甘いわね。オリジンだからって塔ヶ崎なんて、私がそんな見え透いた事するわけないでしょう？ 円田って、普段なんて読んでる？「エンタ」よね。私も劇中で「エンタ」って言ってるし。でも、本当の呼び名は違うのよ。「円田」と描いて「まるた」…そう、ソル・マルタに住んでるだけに「まるた」なのよ。	Huhu... how naive. Do you think I'm so easy to figure out that I'd give her the Togasaki surname just because she is an Origin? Normally, the kanji surname 円田 is read as "Enta", and it's read as such in my stories too. But the true surname is other: it's "Maruta"... so yeah, she's "Maruta" just because she lives in Sol Marta.
	うわあ！そうだったんだ！奥が深いね！ ちょっとシャキーン気味なのが、更にいいエッセンスになってるよね！！	Whoa! So it was that! It's so deep! It feels a bit ba dump-tish-like, and yet still it has such a good essence to it!!
	誰か呼んだかしら？	Did someone call me?

御子について質問です。 焔の御子はＤセロファンの継承によって行われるということは、その気になれば任意に取り出し別の人にも代われるということですか？実際フレリア様に返そうともしてましたし・・・ あと澪の御子ですが・・・こちらの定義は何なのでしょうか？ 「レプレキアが謳えインフェルピラを制御できるのが澪の御子の証明」みたいなことはありましたが「制御できるから御子」なのか「御子だから制御できる」のか・・・ 前者だとしたらもしかしたら他にも澪の御子になれるＩＰＤがいる可能性もあるってことですよね？ あれ・・・でもルカにEXEC_HAIBANATION/.を謳わせようとしたりフレリア様が謳ってインフェルピラ操作してた様な・・？ （カプリチア）

I have a question about the Maidens. When the Maiden of Homura inherits the D-Cellophane from her predecessor, does she have any possibility of giving it to another person, and be replaced by her? Though now it was returned to Lady Frelia... And also... what is the exact definition of the Maiden of Mio? It seemed to be something like "Since you can sing Replekia, you can control Infel Phira, which is the proof of the Maiden of Mio", which could also be interpreted as "You can control it, so you're the Maiden" or "If you are the Maiden, then you should be able to control it".... Does this mean that is possible for any other IPD to become the Maiden of Mio? Uhh.... but in which way did they manipulate Infel Phira when the EXEC_HIBERNATION/. that Luca tried to Sing was Sung by Lady Frelia...? (Caplicher)

ルールとして質問は１コだけだよ？守ってね。だから、１コだけ答えることにするよ。 今回は、レプレキアが謳えることと御子との関係について説明するね。結論から言えば「御子だから制御出来る」の方かな。そもそも御子って言い方自体が、システム的な言い方ではなく政治的な言い方だから、厳密にはレプレキアのシステムにとって「御子」という呼び名は何の関係もないんだけど。 厳密な話をすると、ゲーム中では出てこないお話になるんだけど、「クイーン登録」というプロセスを施されているのが「澪の御子」なんだ。 クイーン登録は、I.P.D.のスペクトラム遺伝子をインフェル・ピラのクイーン設定に登録するだけのことなんだけど、クイーンに登録するとインフェル・ピラ内ではちょっと特殊なバス（神経、とか思考回路、と捉えてくれていいよ）が解放されることになるの。 その時に、インフェル・ピラと、有る一定以上のシンクロニティが得られていないと、精神がインフェル・ピラの要求について来れずに破綻を来してしまう事があるよ。 だから、インフェル・ピラとの欠損が少ないI.P.D.レベルの高いレーヴァテイルでないと、危険でクイーンにする事が出来ないんだ。 ちなみに、EXEC_HIBANATION/.は、インフェル・ピラを外からハッキングしているだけだから、インフェル・ピラのシステムとは関係ないよ。これに関しては過去のトウコウスフィアで詳しく解説しているから、そっちを読んでね。

Our rules state that only one question can be asked at a time, right? And we have to follow them, right? So, for know, I will answer only one question. This time, I'll explain how the ability of singing Replekia is related to being a Maiden. You could conclude it as "If you are the Maiden, then you should be able to control it". In the first place, the way itself of calling her a "Maiden" is not the name she receives within the systems, but the political term for her, and as such, strictly speaking, that popular way of calling her doesn't have any relationship to things such as the systems of Replekia. Strictly speaking, while this wasn't mentioned in the conversations during the game, only the ones that have gone through the process of "Queen Registration" are bestowed the title of [Maiden of Mio]. The Queen Registration simply consists in registering the Spectrum Gene of an IPD as the Queen, however, this also involves unlocking a special bus within Infel Phira (which you could grasp as involving the connection of nerves and thought patterns, among other things). At that time, if the IPD isn't able to reach a fixed synchronicity with Infel Phira, she won't be able to meet the requirements needed for the registration and will end with her mind destroyed. This is why one of the defects Infel Phira has is the low number of high-level IPD Reyvateils, and why the Queen Registration wasn't performed anymore after Infel, given the great risks it carried. By the way, EXEC_HIBERNATION/. is merely hacking Infel Phira from the outside, so it isn't related to its systems in any way. This was explained in detail in a previous Toukousphere, so please, go and read if you wish to know about it, okay?

テクニカルサービスセンター宛です。 初めての質問なのでお手柔らかに宜しくお願いします！ いきなりレーヴァテイル質が出て人間からレーヴァテイルになる女性のインストールポイントっていつ創り(？)出されるのでしょか？ 発症して寝込んでいるときに自然に浮き上がるのですか？ 発症したレーヴァテイルには延命剤が絶対に必要で延命剤を使うにはインストールポイントが無いと意味が無いし…う～ん(汗)…実際どうなのでしょうか？？？ (てしごろ太)

For the Technical Service Center. This is my first question, so please, treat me kindly! Is the Install Port for the human women that turn into Reyvateils due to the awakening of their Reyvateil qualities created (?) and appears by itself? Can it appear by itself as they are sleeping due to the outbreak of their Reyvateil traits? As since awakened Reyvateils need the Life Extending Agent to survive, using it would be pointless on a Reyvateil that lacks an Install Port... hmm (*sweatdrops*)... so, what actually happens? (Teshigoro Tai)

インストールポイントは、レーヴァテイルの発症を前後して、最初はアザのように浮き出てきます。昔はそれがレーヴァテイル質の発症だと分からなかったため、「タトゥリスタ病」という病気として扱われていました。 高熱と共に身体の一部にアザができるわけですから、当然病気だと思いますよね。それからしばらくは、アザの形はとても曖昧で緩い形のままです。しばらくゆっくりと形成され、今のオリカさんやミシャのような、明確な形へと固まっていきます。 その速度は個体差があるので一概にどれくらいかは言えませんが。

The Install Port appears as something similar to a birthmark as the Reyvateil qualities are manifesting themselves. Long ago, the awakening of the Reyvateil qualities wasn't understood by the people, and thus it was treated as a disease called the "Tattoolist Syndrome". Since the awakening caused the appearance of a birthmark on a part of the body and a sudden fever, it was thought to be a natural disease. For a short time, the birthmark would have a very fuzzy and chaotic shape, but then it would get formed and end up taking a proper shape, similar to the ones Misha and Aurica have now. The speed at which this happens differs for each person, so I can't really give an average time for it.

テクニカルサービスセンター宛です ヒュムノス詩で『鳥』の表現が多いのですか？ 想いを詩にするのに使いやすいのでしょうか？ (ハーモニ)

For the Technical Service Center. Why is it that the word "bird" appears so frequently on the Hymmnos Songs? Is it because it's easy to use to put feelings on a Song? (Harmony)

ヒュムノスの紡ぎ手をじっくり観察してごらんなさい。「鳥」が頻繁に登場するヒュムノスは、謳い手がかなり限定されているハズよ。 そうね、それが誰かはここでは言わないでおくけど、その理屈を説明すると、ヒュムノスや詩魔法ってのは、紡ぎ手のレーヴァテイルの心と直結しているのよ。 だから、レーヴァテイルによって傾向や癖が出てくるのは当然。貴方達だってそうでしょ？作詞をするときに癖があるわよね。よく使う単語があったり。 それと同じ事なのよ。

Try conducting a careful survey on all the Hymmnos crafters. The Hymmnos in which the word "bird" appears frequently are limited to only a handful of Singers. Right? And even though there's also someone I won't mention included among them, I'll now explain the theory behind this: Hymmnos and Song Magic are in essence a direct connection to the heart of the Reyvateil who crafted them. That's why it's natural for the tendencies and habits of the Reyvateil to come out on them. And isn't it like that for you all too? You also have habits when writing lyrics, and words you use frequently. It's the same for us.

	せっかく仲良しさんになったと思ったのに、またケンカばっかりしてるね。一向に仲良しさんにならないから、次回からちょっと趣向を変えてみるよ。 次回からは１回につき、３人のうち誰か１人が単独で答えるよ。	I thought you both had finally turned into good friends, but you're still fighting. It seems like you won't become good friends no matter what, so we're going to try changing things up a little next time. Starting next time, we'll each have one issue in which the chosen person will answer questions all on her own.
	ちょ、ちょっとフレリア！？いきなり何を！	W-wait there, Frelia! What have you just decided!?
	ふふ、面白そうじゃない。最近シュレリアをからかうのもマンネリ気味だったのよね。	Huhu, doesn't it sound interesting? Lately I've been somewhat in the mood to tease Shurelia.
	はーい、それじゃ、賛成２票で過半数越えしましたので可決しまーす！それじゃ、まず次回はお姉ちゃんからよろしくお願いします！	Okaaay! With two votes, this motion is approved by majority! Well then, we'll start the next issue by leaving it all in Sis' hands!
	ちょ、ちょっと！私はまだ賛同していません！！	W-wait! I still haven't agreed to this!!
	いいじゃない、別に死ぬ訳じゃないし。 それとも、一人では答えられる自信が無いのかしら？ふふふ…	Isn't it great? And it isn't like you were going to die from it. Or is it that you don't have the confidence to answer these questions by yourself? Huhuhu...
	あ、それと、誰かゲストを呼んできていいよ！自分の親しい人と解説したら、きっと楽しいと思うし！	Ah, and it'd be great if we could have someone as a guest too! I think it'd be more fun if someone familiar to you explained things!
	次回が楽しみね…。	I'll be looking forward to the next issue...
