Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	今回は私が仕切だから、容赦しないわよ。覚悟しなさい。	We'll be settling the score between us today, and I won't have any mercy. So get ready.
	えっと…覚悟するのは…質問者の方ですか？それとも…	Um... get ready... do you mean the users?
	私達の方かな…？	Do you mean us?
	私達に決まってるじゃない。今回はいつもより増量していくわよ。	Of course it's us. We're getting more questions than usual this issue.
	…ジャクリの焦りは相当なものですね…。まさか2週間経った今も後を引くなんて思いもしませんでした…。	...And Jakuri's impatience is really fitting her, huh...? It's been two weeks, but I didn't think she was so moreish...
	でも確かに、沢山答えたらトウコウしてくれた人も喜ぶし、頑張ろうよ！	But it's true that if we answer more questions, we'll make happy the people who sent them! So let's do our best!

レーヴァテイルのパートナーが男性ではなく女性がパートナーである事は可能なのですか？（できたら空猫さんにとっては都合がいいはず・・・） (カイル)

It's possible for Reyvateils to also have female partners instead of only male ones? (If it's possible, it should be very convenient to Skycat...) (Kyle)

	普通に可能だよ。あまり例は無いけど。大抵は騎士とレーヴァテイル、という構図が主体になるみたいだし。 本来パートナーを伴う理由が、詠唱中の集中力維持をするときに無防備になるレーヴァテイルを強靱な肉体を持つパートナーが鉄壁ガードする、という事だから。 もちろん、そこまで戦火が激しくない、あまり戦いにレーヴァテイルを使わない地域があれば、単純に生活水準向上の為の詩魔法を沢山紡ぐのが目的であれば、女性ダイバーも多いとおもうし。 だから、亜耶乃社長みたいな人ならダイバー経験有るかもしれないね。	Normally, it's possible, though I don't have any examples at hand now. Generally it seems like partnerships are formed by a knight and a Reyvateil. Basically, Reyvateils need to be accompanied by a partner because they are completely defenseless when they are maintaining their concentration power while they sing, so the partner needs to have a tough body that can defend her like an iron wall. Of course, in regions were wartime destruction isn't as severe, and the Reyvateils don't see combat often, they can have the goal of simply crafting Song Magic in order to improve their life standards, and female Divers are the ones who mostly help them in these cases. So a person like President Ayano could actually be an experienced Diver.
	よくわかったな。昔は沢山のレーヴァテイルにダイブしたものだ。懐かしい話だ…。	Oh, so you knew. I did Dive into many Reyvateils a long time ago. It makes me feel so nostalgic...

ジャクリが作ろうとしたＲＴだけの世界レーヴァテリアでは子作りはどうするんですか？ （277）

If Jakuri was going to make a Reyvateil-only world such as Reyvateilia, how were the Reyvateils going to have children? (277)

レーヴァテリアに子作りは必要ないわよ。なぜならレーヴァテリアはβ純血種だけの理想郷だから。 β純血種は三極式共鳴培養槽で培養される、オリジンのクローンだって事は知ってるわよね？ レーヴァテリアではメインフレームという管理サーバーが存在し、そのサーバーからの指示によって年間の培養数が決められている。 要するに、β純血種が計画的に生み出されるというわけ。だから人口爆発問題も無いし、生まれてくるときには皆目的があって生まれてくるのよ。 今思えば…何となく面白みに欠けるつまらない理想郷だけど、知った当時は最高のシステムだと思ったわ。私も随分と俗ッ気が出てしまったみたいね。

The Reyvateils weren't going to need having children, and that's because it was going to be a Utopia inhabited only by Pureblooded β-types. Do you know that Pureblooded β-types are clones of the Origins and are all created in special tripolar resonance incubators, right? Reyvateilia would have an administration server called the Mainframe, and that server would dictate how many Reyvateils would be created per year. In short, that means that the Pureblooded β-types would be created systematically. And because of that, there wouldn't be a population boom problem, since each Reyvateil would have been born whenever it was her turn to do so. But now that I think about it... it somehow ended turning into a plan for creating only a boring paradise, even though I felt at the time that it was the best system in history. It seems that even I come up with some vulgarities every now and then.

クラスタ系の名前には基本的に漢字を使用してますが、クラスタ系も日本人みたいに一文字一文字に意味を込めて名前を付けるんですか？ ついでにジャクリの字に当てられた「蛇刳」の字に込めた意味も教えて欲しいです。 (ハーモニ)

Clusterian names are the ones that fundamentally use kanji, but Clusterians also give names that have a proper meaning taken from the kanjis forming them? Incidentally, I'd like to know what's the meaning of the kanji form for Jakuri's name (蛇刳). (Harmony)

残念ながら、「蛇刳」という名前は私がつけた名前ではないわ。蛇刳とはロボットの名前。メタファルスで私は、体面上その殆どの時間を蛇刳に搭乗して生活していたわ。 それで皆「蛇刳」と呼ぶものだから、脱いでも蛇刳のまま定着してしまった、というだけ。本当の名前は別にあるけど、それは一応秘密ということにしておくわ。知ってるとは思うけど。 それで、昔の人が何故「蛇刳」とつけたのか。これは私の推測でしかないけど、蛇のようにしぶとくえぐ（刳）る、とかいう感じ何じゃないかしらね。

Unfortunately, "Jakuri" isn't a name I gave myself, as it's actually the name of the robot I ride in. Almost the entire time I was on Metafalss, I spent it riding the Jakuri. As for the reason for everyone calls me "Jakuri", it's because I got stuck with it even after I stopped riding the robot. My true name is different, but I have no intentions to reveal it for now. However, I think you already know it. By the way, you were also asking about why the ancients called it "Jakuri"? I can only offer conjectures about it, but I think it's because it's as cold and obstinate as a snake, as the kanji for the name translate to "cold snake".

以前「レーヴァテイル質は六角板検査で調べる」「ライナーはレーヴァテイル質を持っている」とありましたが、これはライナーも六角板検査を受け、反応があったということなのでしょうか？ (ふうる)

Previously, it was said that "Reyvateil genes are examined through the Hexagonal Plate Test" and "Lyner has Reyvateil qualities", but does that mean that Lyner was administered the Hexagonal Plate Test? Weren't there any objections to it? (Fuuru)

レアードがライナーにレーヴァテイル質がある事を知っているという事は、恐らくレーアドか、その関係者がライナーに六角板試験を実施したのでしょう。少なくともソルシエールでは、それ以外にレーヴァテイル質を検査する方法はありませんから。 六角板は潜在レーヴァテイル質を検出する事が出来る板ですから、男性にも反応します。もちろん反応したところで発症はしませんから、本人にとっては検査するだけ無駄ですが。 蛇足ですが、六角板は女性で反応した場合、その９８％は発症します。潜在レーヴァテイル質を持っている人でも絶対に発症しない人の場合、六角板は反応しません。 結論から言えば、ライナーが六角板に反応したのであれば、もしライナーが女性として生まれていたら第三世代になっていた、という事になります。 六角板の反応についてはとても不思議に思われるかも知れませんが、技術的なお話をし出すと大変長くなりますので、今回は割愛させていただきますね。

About how Leard knew that Lyner had Reyvateil qualities, it was most likely because he had authorized personal carry out the Hexagonal Plate test on him. After all, there's no other method to test for Reyvateil qualities. As the Hexagonal Plate is a board that can detect latent Reyvateil qualities, it also responds to men. Of course, it's impossible for a man to awaken these qualities even if the plate reacts, so it's useless to the person in question to undergo that test. And while it's redundant to say this, if the plate responds to a woman, she has a 98% probability of awakening as a Reyvateil. And if the person has latent Reyvateil qualities but won't end up awakening at all, the plate will show no reaction. Theoretically speaking, if the plate reacted to Lyner, he would have become a Third Generation had he been born as a woman. You might think that the reaction of the Hexagonal Plate is quite mysterious, but since the technical details would make this answer excessively long, I have omitted them.

ヒュムノスの文法は中央正純律と新約パスタリエだけなんですか？アルファ律専用の文法があるってことはないんですか？ （llka）

The Hymmnos grammars are only different between the Central Standard Note and similar dialects, and the New Testament of Pastalie? Don't the Alpha Notes have any kind of special grammar? (llka)

	もちろん作れますよ。ただ、普段はそこまでしてアルファ律を使うことはありませんね。せいぜいカスタマイズして最適化された単語を作るくらいでしょうか。	Of course they have. It's just that if they were used with their unique grammars, no one would be able to use the Alpha Notes normally. After all, aren't they created to be customized and optimized words?
	私も単語なら色々作ったよ。例えば「mekemeke pon!」で第二塔の一部を生成する（固有の場所に固有の形状を物質化する）とか。 全然汎用性無いから、私以外の人が使う機会は絶対に無いと思うけど。今となっては私も使わないし。	I too have created various words. For example, "mekemeke pon!" creates various things in the Second Tower (or better said, materializes particular forms in particular places). However, since they aren't general use words, I don't think anyone besides myself has been able to use them. And now, I can't use them either.
	いくら何でも「メケメケポン」はちょっと…	Though using "mekemeke pon" so many times sounds a little...
	え？そうかな？それじゃ、お姉ちゃんだったら違う単語になるだけだよね。 もちろん知ってると思うけど一応説明すると、アルファ律はそのオリジンが最も感情をストレートに表した発音を登録するのが常套手段になっているんだよ。 だから、そのオリジンの性質がよく出るとも言われていて…	Huh? Really? Well, I think they are little different from the words you've made, Sis. And of course, I think you might know this already, but to give an explanation for the time being, the habitual practice is registering pronunciations that express the most the feelings of an Origin as part of her corresponding Alpha Note. Because of that, it's said that they are a good way of showing the nature of the Origin that created them...
	確かに…よく出ていますね…。	And they... really show it, huh...?

少しだけネタバレ?な感じですが質問させてください。 アルトネリコ2で大陸を紡いだ後、今までのメタ＝ファルスはどうなっちゃうんですか? (丸太)

This might be a little spoiler-ish (?), but I want to ask this. What's going to happen to the current Metafalss after the continent was crafted in Ar tonelico 2? (Maruta)

あの後は徐々にみんなをメタファリカに誘導していって、最終的には落としちゃう事になるよ。このまま維持していっても私の身体はあと１００年持たないみたいだから、落としちゃった方がいいって。 といっても、あと３０～５０年後くらいの話になるけどね。私がもうちょっと頑張れたら残しておくことも出来たかもしれないのに…ごめんね。

After that, everyone will gradually move to Metafalica, and finally all Metafalss will be dropped. Even if I continued maintaining it as I've been doing, I wouldn't be able to keep it for beyond 100 years with what I have in my body, so it's better to drop it. However, we're talking about doing it in about 30 to 50 years. If I had worked a bit harder, I might have been able to let it continue existing, so... I'm sorry...

初投稿です！この間はバックナンバー読んでて一日ニヤニヤして過ぎてしまいました・・・。さて質問ですが、グラスノインフェリアについてですが、大惨事が起きた時、塔とリンクしているシュレリア様はどういう状態だったんでしょうか？気になってしょうがないです。 （四毛猫）

This is my first contribution! I have smiled too much by reading in one day all of the previous issues... but well, I have a question about the Grathnode Inferia: when the catastrophe happened, in what condition was Lady Shurelia because of her linkage to the Tower? I couldn't avoid getting worried about it. (Yokeneko)

	とっても痛かったです。例えるなら、全身が神経痛になったような痛みでした。	It was extremely painful. It was as if you had a neuralgia in the entire extension of your body.
	ご老体にしか分からない痛みね。ご愁傷様。	Though that is a kind of pain that only old people know about, isn't it? My condolences.
	むー！私は１６歳です！！	Ughmm! I'm 16 years old!!

	今回もジャクリちゃん大奮闘だったね！	It seems you fought with Jakuri yet again, huh!
	これなら、今後もジャクリに任せておけば問題無さそうですね…。	But if she's like this, then there wouldn't be any problem with leaving to her the answering of all the questions from now on...
	何を寝ぼけたことを言ってるの。悪いけど前回と今回の２回で疲れが溜まったから、次回は少し 楽させてもらうわ。 もう私達の立場も復権したと思うし、後は貴方達でも大丈夫でしょ。というわけで、来週はよろしく。	Are you still half-sleep? Sorry, but I'm very tired from having to answer two questions from this issue and the previous one, so the next time, I'll be taking a little time off. I think we have reinstated our positions here, so you two should be okay now. So, I'll leave everything next week to you two.

Editor's Postscript

いよいよ冬到来ですね。アルトネのクリスマスキャンペーンが始まりました！またネタモノですが「ラスボスの黒マグ」そして、こっちはとても綺麗な「ファンタスマゴリアオルゴール」です。 両方とも「クリスマスに楽しめるモノを」という事で企画してみました。ワイワイやるのもお洒落に決めるのも、両方ともやっちゃうのも、アルトネリコが少しでも盛り上げることが出来たなら、とても嬉しく思います。 特典のポムサンタプレートでケーキを食べながら、とびきり楽しいクリスマスを過ごしてくださいね！今年もあと１ヶ月強となってしまいましたが、年末の末の末までアルトネリコとアルポータルをよろしくお願い致します！ (土屋)

And winter's finally coming. The Ar tonelico Christmas Campaign has begun! And this time, the most standout products in our line-up would be the "Last Boss' Black Mug" and the beautiful "Phantasmagoria Orgel". This is a project I wanted to try as "something that would make Christmas more enjoyable" for us both. Of course we'll have to do a lot of noise and be dressed stylishly, but if we this and this enlivens Ar tonelico even slightly, I'll be very happy. Please, make sure to spend an incredibly fun Christmas as you eat cake on the special Santa Pom Plate we're giving with the purchases in the Gust Shop! There's only one more month left before this year ends, but until its very last second, I hope you'll always continue being with us in Ar tonelico and the Ar Portal! (Tsuchiya)
