Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	新年、あけまして！！	Happy New Year!!
	おめでとうございます！！	Congratulations!!
	おめでと。	Congrats.
	今年もテクニカルセンターは、皆さんのご質問に対し、誠意有る回答でご奉仕いたします！	For yet another year, we, the Technical Center, will be answering all your question in all of our good faith!
	早速タイトル間違ってるわよ。 さい先悪いわね。	You made quite a mistake when you said the title. You're really the worst of the worst.
	今年も沢山テクニカれますように！！ それじゃ早速、今年一番のテクニカル、いってみよう！	This year we'll have many more Technical things here!! So then, let's get started with the first Technical of the year right now!

レーヴァテイル・オリジンのシュレリア様とフレリア様の側近のデジタル生命（ELMAと瞬ちゃん）は、四足歩行の獣（犬？狼？ライオン？）をモデルとしていますが、何か特別な理由が御有りなのですか？ （カイル）

The Reyvateil Origins Lady Shurelia and Lady Frelia both have digital life forms as their personal guardians (ELMA and Shuny), but what was the specific rationale behind choosing to model them after quadruped beasts (dog? wolf? lion?)? (Kyle)

	そんなの簡単よ。最も機動性が高いフォルムだからよ。 貴方の世界でもそうでしょ？二足歩行のロボットの機動性の悪さは言うまでもなく、またキャタピラやタイヤでは連続地面しか対応できない。その点四足歩行は安定性抜群で、ジャンプも急ブレーキもお手の物。こんなに優れた形は他にないわよ。	That's very simple. It's because these are the forms with the best mobility. And it isn't like that in your world, too? As we all know, bipedal robots have very lousy mobility, which is why they can only move on the ground's surface through wheels or caterpillars. While on the other hand, the quadruped ones have excellent stability, and have jumping and stopping suddenly as their forte. Because of that, there's no better form than them.
	瞬ちゃんは、フレリアが犬にしたわけじゃないからわからないけど、確かラキがジャクリちゃんと同じ事を言っていたよ。	As for Shuny, I wasn't the one that turned him into a doggy, but I remember that Raki told that same thing to Jakuri.
	フレリア…。 オオカミなんだが…一応。	Frelia... Just as a reminder... I'm a wolf.

人間質とレーヴァテイル質の両方が存在している第三世代のレーヴァテイルは自分で自分にダイブすることは可能でしょうか？ （らすたー）

Given that the Third Generations are Reyvateils with both human and Reyvateil natures, would it be possible for them to Dive into themselves? (Raster)

まず今のダイブマシンはダイバー側とレーヴァテイル側でインターフェイスが違うから、それは出来ないよ。 仮に、両方を兼ね備えたインターフェイスを持つダイブマシンがあったらどうか、と言うと、答えは可能だけど自己ループに陥って抜け出せなくなる危険性があるの。レーヴァテイル質も人間質も、それをコントロールしている部分は脳であって…ううん、厳密には人間質のH波のサーバーだから、それは両方の質共に共通なんだよね。 だから、寸分の狂いもない思考パターンの持ち主がダイブをするという事になって、ダイブを行う目的である「エモーショナルな衝動」を引き起こすことは極希になるよね。逆に考えれば、それが可能な人はダイブという行為をしなくても、沢山詩魔法を紡ぎ出すことが出来るわけ。 でもやっぱり一番厄介なのは、思考が完全にループして抜け出せなくなる時があることかな。そういうときは、ダイブ屋さんに強制的に中断してもらうしかないんだよね。 何にしても、百害あって一利なしだから、自分ダイブは控えた方がいいと思うよ。

Firstly, the current Dive Machines have their interfaces separated into Diver Side and Reyvateil Side, so that isn't possible. Now if we suppose that there was a Dive Machine that had interfaces capable of accomplishing both functions at the same time, it would be possible, but there would also be the risk of falling into an inescapable self-loop. Because they have both human and Reyvateil natures, the part that controls both of them is the brain... not, it would be better to call the H-Wave Server of the human nature, which is the common point shared between both natures. Because of that, supposing the Diver had a perfectly stable thought pattern and performed a Dive, the goals of performing it would cause [Emotional Impulses], which are very rare. On the other hand, the person performing this Dive would be able too to craft many Song Magics in a very short period of time. But as I said previously, the biggest problem would be the thoughts causing a complete and inescapable loop. If that happened, the Dive Shop clerk would have to conduct an emergency suspension. In the end, this would be very beneficial but very dangerous at the same time, so I think that people would do better to refrain themselves from performing Selfdives.

テクニカルサービスセンターのお三方、はじめましてこんにちは。 さっそくですが、ずっと気になっていたことを質問させてください。それはデフラグメントについてです。 思いっきりネタバレになりますが、メタファリカの際、某設計者は消える必要があったのでしょうか。いくらデフラグメントで最適化といっても、上書きでもされない限りはデータは基本的に消えません（こちらの世界では）。大陸すら用意できるインフェル・ピラが人間一人のデータを抱えられないというのもおかしな話です。 もしかすると、正規データとして認識されている情報（I.P.Dの意識等）は正常に並び替えられるが、彼女のような正式な登録データとはいえないような情報は問答無用で上書きされてしまうということなのでしょうか。それとも一度完全にフォーマットしてから必要なデータだけ再配置をするのでしょうか。こちらの場合はインプランタを謳う前みたいになってしまいかねませんが……。けれどどちらにせよ、彼女が本気を出せば第一塔のほうに全情報を移す事くらい造作もないことだと私は思っています。 熱くなってしまいました。ごめんなさい。彼女には、夢が叶った後の世界を歩いてほしかったもので。 もしかしたら、全部知った上で逃げなかったのかもしれませんね。 （infel yor）

Hello, and nice to meet you three, members of the Technical Service Center. It's a bit sudden, but I've been very curious about something for a long time and been wanting to ask this. It's about defragmenting. Of course this is going to be filled to the brim with spoilers but even so, when Metafalica was created, was there any need for its designer to disappear? As far as I know, no matter how many times the data is optimized through defragmentation, it isn't fundamentally supposed to vanish unless it has been overwritten (at the least in the case of our world). I mean, it sounds quite weird that Infel Phira, which was prepared for creating something of the size of a continent, couldn't even preserve the data of a single person. Is this because the information that was recognized as proper data (such as the consciousnesses of the IPDs) would be rearranged as normal, but Infel's data wasn't recognized as proper and thus was overwritten? Or does the server just rearrange the data it deems important to then perform a full reformat of its memory? If that was the case, wouldn't it become something similar to the situation prior to the Singing of Implanta...? Still, and regardless of which of those options this is, I think it should have been pretty easy for her to execute a full migration of her data to the First Tower if she had actually wanted to do it. Looks like I got a little too hot-blooded. I'm sorry. It's just that I wanted her to be able to walk in a world where her dream was realized. By any chance, did she know that this was a fate from which she wouldn't be able to escape, even with all the knowledge she had? (infel yor)

	これについては、私もちょっと残念で腑に落ちない所があるので、直接本人に聞いてみるのがいいかなと思って連れてきたよ。	Unfortunately, I didn't really understand everything about it very well either, so I decided it'd be better to ask the person herself and bring her along.
	え？インフェル・ピラの話？急に振られても困るわよ。本当に仕方ないわね。 まあ…私情はともかくとして、まず理屈最優先で言えば、残念ながら私の力をもってしても詩魔法サーバーの移籍は不可能ね。 例えばミュールや私なんかを見ていると、案外簡単にバイナリ野を移動して色んな所へ行けるように見えるかも知れないけど、あれは「行っている」わけじゃないのよ。ただ「見ている」だけなの。 そこに何か具現化している事もあるけど、それはその場所に詩魔法を行使しているに過ぎない。すなわち、自由に移動しているように見えて、私やミュールの核、すなわち精神領域はβ-６Ｄと言われるＳＨ＿ＲＡＭ（＝詩魔法サーバー）の特定アドレス領域から１ビットも外に出ることが出来ないの。 なぜなら、私のアドレスは私だけのものではないから。それはβ-６Ｄのものであり、実質私はそれを借りているに過ぎない。β-６Ｄから見れば、私が外に出るということは、私以外のレーヴァテイルにも影響を及ぼす事になり、基本それは有ってはならない事なのよ。極端な話、私が他の詩魔法サーバーに移ることで、他のＩ．Ｐ．Ｄ．が１０人死んだとしてもおかしくない事なんだから。不思議な話かも知れないけど、私達レーヴァテイルの関係ってそういうものなの。もちろん、貴方達人間も同じだと思ってるわよ。 そんなわけだから、私がデフラグメントを回避して生き延びることは簡単そうに見えてとても難しい事なのよ。もちろん、頑張って考えれば何か解決策があったかもしれなかったけど。 でも、私はもう決めていたからいいのよ。	Huh? A question about Infel Phira? Even suddenly giving you the cold shoulder would make me feel troubled, so I don't think there's anything I can do to avoid this topic. Well... Leaving aside my personal feelings on the matter, if we were to begin with giving maximum priority to the theoretical reasons, unfortunately transferring from a Song Magic Server to another is not possible to me, even with all the power I have. For example, upon watching what either Mir or me did, it might give the impression that it's unexpectedly easy to move through the Binary Field to go to all sorts of places, but realistically speaking, we're not [going] anywhere. We're just [browsing] these places. There can be some sort of manifestation of our Wills in there, but that isn't anything beyond using Song Magic in these places. In other words, while you might have seen that we were moving freely, it actually is impossible to bring to the outside even a single bit from a specific address region of the SH-RAM (Song Magic Server) called β-6D, which is the core of Mir and me: namely, our spiritual regions. This is because my address is not mine alone. It actually belongs to β-6D, and I'm merely borrowing it. Seeing it from the point of view of β-6D, the act of me going to an external server would influence all the other Reyvateils registered in it except for myself, which is something that shouldn't happen by nature. Speaking in the crudest way possible, it wouldn't be weird at all if at least other ten IPDs fell dead because I moved to another Song Magic Server. It might sound like a ridiculous explanation, however, the connection between us, the Reyvateils, runs that deep. Of course, I also think that you humans should have similar connections too. Well, because of that reason, while it seemed that I could simply have increased my life span by escaping the defragmentation, it is actually far more complicated than that. Though of course, if I tried thinking more about it, I might have found a solution to that. However, I already had decided I was okay with it.

初投稿です、よろしくお願いします。 ベータ純血種は元々オリジンのクローンですよね？ じゃあ、創られるだんかいで容姿の操作等はできるのですか？ オリジンのシュレリア様とベータのジャクリちゃまでは見た目が大分異なるのでとうこうしました。 （ババンゴ売り）

This is my first contribution, and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. The Pureblooded Beta-types are basically clones of the Origins, right? Well, it's possible to modify their appearances and such when they are created? I ask because I have seen how the Origin, Lady Shurelia, and the Beta, Jakurin, are so different from each other. (Babango Seller)

容姿の操作が可能、というより、容姿の決定をしなければいけない、といった方が正しいと思います。 まず前提として、私のクローンとして作られたβとは１体しかありません。その１体はむしろオリジンという方が正確であって、現在言われている「β純血種」とは、その１体の中に内包された存在なのです。 その１体から受け継がれるデータはごく基本的な部分に限られ、容姿や性格などの「個性」に当たる部分は、新規β純血種を登録する際にプログラムで与えられることになります。 そのプログラムに準じて、フックを通じてアドレスを共有している中核三角環がその形状を形成する「詩を謳う」わけです。 基本、容姿情報はＲＯＭ情報として与えられており、中核三角環や自己の顕在意識はそれを改変することは出来ません。 ただ、外的要因によってＮＥＥ（レーヴァテイル維持機構）のスケジューラーに異常を来すような事があると、時間軸相当の変化が発生する事はあります。具体例としてはミシャがそれに相当する破損を被っています。 もちろんＲＯＭとはいえ人工的に作られたものですから、何らかの操作をすることで形状を変化させることは不可能ではありません。現在はその技術も形状データフォーマットも失われてしまいましたので、そう簡単には実現出来ませんけどね。

Rather than thinking they can change their appearances, it would be more correct to think that their appearances have to be predefined when they are created. This is because in the first place, there is no more than a single β that was made as a clone of me. And while it would be more correct to call her an Origin too, in the current times she would be categorized too under the definition of [Pureblooded β-Type]. The amount of inherited data they receive from her is extremely limited, and the parts that constitute an [Individual], such as the appearance and personality, are all programmed when a new β is registered. According to that programming, their address is then linked to a Triangular Nuclear Loop, which then creates their shape, which means that it [Sings a Song]. Basically, the information for the appearance is programmed into the ROM, which cannot be changed by the Triangular Nuclear Loop or the own conscious self of the Reyvateil. Also, there is the LPM (the Life Preservation Mechanism of the Reyvateils) acting as an important external factor, whose Scheduler causes many abnormalities during the development process of the Reyvateil, thanks to the generation of a substantial number of alterations in the time axis. A very concrete example is Misha, whose appearance was so heavily affected by said alterations that she doesn't resemble me in looks or personality at all. Of course, since the ROM was created artificially, it doesn't mean that the appearance of the Reyvateil cannot be altered by somehow modifying it. However, in the current times, these technologies and the data formats that define appearance have been lost, so simply put, that is impossible to accomplish in the current times.

HARMONIUSというヒュムノスは、私が第一紀の「プロジェクト・メタファリカ」を自分なりに想像して作ったヒュムノスと、前回のテクニカで言っていますが、シルヴァホルンに監禁されていた状態で遠いメタ・ファルスの情報を手に入れることは可能だったんでしょうか？ それとも当時「プロジェクト・メタファリカ」は、メタ・ファルスだけでなくソル・シエールをはじめ世界中に一般的に広まっていたものなのでしょうか？ （咲也）

About the Hymmnos of Harmonious, Mir told me in one of the previous issues that she crafted it from how she imagined that the [Project Metafalica] that was being executed in the First Era was. Well, how is it possible that she received information about the faraway land of Metafalss while she was still confined in the Silver Horn? Or maybe, at that time, [Project Metafalica] wasn't just a thing of Metafalss anymore, and it had already begun spreading throughout the whole region of Sol Ciel? (Sakuya)

まず根本的な事なんだけど、私は生まれてすぐにシルヴァホルンに監禁されたわけではないのよ？一応、軟禁という形で、腫れ物に触るように大切に大切に育てられていた時期が数年あったの。その時は色々なことを学習させられたし、自分でも興味が有ったから、塔のライブラリでグラスノインフェリア前の情報を色々知ったわ。その中に、第一紀のメタファルス史も存在した。ただそれだけよ。 その後の封印されていた時代にも、暇だから色々な情報を見ていたわ。私はβのSH_RAMの共通意識野へ入ることが出来たから、そこで色んな知識を得ることが出来た。その中にメタ・ファルスに行ったβ純血種の情報も幾つかあって、少ないながらも第二紀にもメタ・ファルスが存在した事を知った。 蛇足だけど、この行為はシュレリアは出来ないのよ。なぜなら、シュレリアはβ純血種達とは他人だけど、私は自分自身と同じと言っても過言ではないから。 だからシュレリアは第二紀以降にメタ・ファルスが存在していたことも当然知らないし、外の世界のことは何も知らないの。まあ、彼女がぼけている訳じゃないって事で…一応フォローだけしておくわ。

Firstly, and even though this is a pretty elemental fact, do you really think that I was confined in the Silver Horn since my birth? During a time, I actually lived in what we could call house arrest, and I spent several years like that, being raised with utmost caution and care. During that time, I was taught about many things, but there was something that really caught my interest, and I learned a lot of things about how the world was before the Grathnode Inferia thanks to the library of the Tower. And in there, I also learned about the history of the Metafalss of the First Era, and about its existence. That's all there's to it. Later on, during the time I spent sealed away, I had so much time to spare that I continued spending all of it in learning more things. Since I was able to enter into the Shared Consciousness Fields of the SH_RAM of the βs, I was able to gain much more knowledge. In there, I learned about the information of the many Pureblooded β-types that went to Metafalss, and while it was a very little amount of information, it also let me know that Metafalss continued existing during the Second Era. And it may be redundant to say this, but this is a feat that Shurelia can't accomplish. That is because Shurelia is different from the Pureblooded β-types, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we're similar. So it's natural that Shurelia didn't know at all about the existence of Metafalss from the Second Era onwards, and also, that she didn't know about the world outside of Sol Ciel. Well, this doesn't mean that she's slow... at least while I'm there to do the follow-up for her.

	今日は本当に、すごいみんな働いたね！	And today everyone did a really great job!
	そうですね。とても時間がかかりましたけど。 お陰でまた３ｋｇ程痩せましたよ。	Yes, we did, though it seems we spent a lot of time in it. And thanks to that, I was able to lose 3 Kg.
	まあ、年明け一発目だし、これくらいのサービスはしてもいいんじゃない？着いてこれた人がどれくらいいるか分からないけど。ま、そんなわけで…	Well, it might just be something for the start of the year, but how about if the Service Center became like this for the rest of the year? We still don't know how many people will be arriving from now on here. Well, that only means...
	本年もよろしく！	I'm looking forward to working with you all the next year too!
	お願い申し上げます！！	It will be a pleasure for me too!!
