クルシェって、ジャクリロボには興味ないの？ あれ、結構ハイテクな技術が詰まってるような気がするけど・・・ （わんこ）

Krusche, aren't you interested in the Jakuri-Robo? It's packed with pieces of very advanced technology... Or at least that's the feel it gives me... (Wanko)

	そうだね……中身には確かに興味があるかな。 飛空挺作るのに何か役に立ちそうなものが結構詰まってそうだし。	That's true... I'm really interested in its interior, at least. I think it's packed with all sorts of things that could help me with the creation of new airships.
	わかるわかる、その気持ち！！ 私も前々から分解して詳しく中身を調べてみたいと思ってたんだよ。 分解して中身を調べられれば、シンクロブランドとして量産することも可能だろうし。	I perfectly know how you're feeling!! I remember I've disassembled all sorts of things to try to understand how they work since long ago. I have the feeling that by analyzing these parts, I could come up with something new for me to use in the CynCro Brands!
	うむ、私も少々気になっている。 覚えているものは少ないと思うが、天覇にイカルガというロボットがあってな。 二号機まで作ったのだが、いつも残念なやられ役のような結果に終わってしまったんだ。 その名誉を挽回するためにも、ジャクリロボを我が社で徹底的に調べ上げて最強のイカルガ三号を作りたいとも考えている。	Yes, I'm also slightly interested on it. I don't think there are many who remember it, but Tenba had a robot called te Ikaruga. We even went as far as making Mk.2 version of it, but given they unfortunately always got thrashed in battle, in the end we cancelled their production. I think that to restore their honor, we would want to create the strongest Ikaruga Mk. 3 by thoroughly studying the Jakuri Robo over at our company.
	……しばらくどこかに隠しておいたほうが良さそうね。	...maybe it'd be better if I kept it hidden somewhere for a while.

Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	シュレリア様主催の、テクニカルセンター！！	The Lady Shurelia-sponsored Technical Center!!
	みっともないから止めなさい。それにまだ正式名を覚えられないの？テクニカルサービスセンターでしょ？	That's horribly shameful, so just stop it. And you can't still learn the proper name for it? Isn't it supposed to be the Technical Service Center?
	今回からみんな参加できるようになったテクニカルサービスセンター。早速多種多様な質問が集まってきていて、今までと違った雰囲気になってきているね。	From this issue, it'll be a Technical Service Center where anyone can participate. We quickly gathered a large variety of questions, so the atmosphere's going to change a lot from how it was before.
	それじゃ早速、行ってみましょうか。 新生テクニカルサービスセンター！	The reborn Technical Service Center!

とろとろむらむらについて質問です。 どうもデュアルストールの様子を見る限りとろむら温泉の効果は「ルカ＞クローシェ様＞＞ジャクリ先生」だったように思うのですが、もしかしてとろむらは肉体年齢が高い（老けてる）ほど効果が大きいのでしょうか？ ねこにマタタビ与えた場合も、子猫には効かないですが大人ぬこはふにゃふにゃになりますし・・・だったらココナにはほとんどとろむら効かないかも？ (きむら秀一＠歩く電波塔の会)

I've got a question about the Syrupy Arousal. As far as I've seen from the Dualstall status screens, I think the order of effectiveness for it was "Luca > Cloche > Teacher Jakuri", but does this mean that the older (the more aged) their bodies are, the greater the effects? This means that if she were to go in, Skycat wouldn't get any effects from it due to being such an adult cat, but she'd still get all meowy-meowy... but in that case that means it wouldn't have any effect on Cocona? (Kimura Shuuichi @ Walking Electromagnetic Wave Tower Gathering)

	ええっ！！ちがうんじゃない？だってジャクリの方が、私やクローシェ様よりよっぽど年齢上じゃない？	Whaaa!? But it isn't like that! Jakuri is far older than me and Lady Cloche!
	まあ確かに…否定するつもりはないけど。じゃ、別の仮定を立ててみましょ。 それなら…そうね、いつもいかがわしい事を考えてる順に効果が高いとか。	That's true... and I have no intention of denying it. However, let's try coming up with a different guess for that. And if we do that... maybe it's more effective depending on how often you think of indecent things.
	それじゃあ私がいつも変なことばっか考えてるみたいじゃないですかー！！	That's making me look like I'm always thinking about dirty stuff!!
	胸の大きさ順ではない事だけは確かね。	There is certainly the possibility of it being more effective depending on chest size.
	なにこれ…私いじめ？	What now...? Are you trying to tease me?
	まあ冗談はこれくらいにしておいて、とろとろむらむらにも相性があるみたいね。あと、あの薬は基本的に自分の欲望がダダ漏れになるみたいだから、その場で一緒に入ってる人に好意を寄せていればいるほど効果が増大するような気がするわ。 ルカやクローシェの効果が大きいのは、それだけお互いを信頼していて好きだから、という事で、私の効果が小さいのは周囲の人達に無頓着だから、という感じかしら。 だから、ココナには結構効くかも知れないわよ。	Well, all this was just us joking around, but it looks like there's an affinity for the Syrupy Arousal too. Since it basically is a drug that seems to make one's lust to stir and leak, I've got the feeling that it would more effective if the other people in the bath with the user are willing to let go themselves to each other. So it'd mean that the effects on Luca and Cloche were so large because that's how much they trust each other, to the point they have a good relationship; while I didn't get very affected because I'm pretty indifferent about others. So it could have a strong effect on Cocona.

ココナに聞きたいんですが、物語の最後、メタファリカが謳われたときには他のI.P.D.と同じようにクローシェ様と共に謳っていたんですか？ (ヤマト)

I wanted to ask this to Cocona: when Metafalica was sung at the end of the story, did you sing too like all the other IPDs did with Lady Cloche? (Yamato)

	もちろん謳っていたよ！でも、選りすぐりのクローシェ様親衛隊I.P.D.メンバーの中にいたわけじゃないけどね。 ただ、ココナの力が他のI.P.D.のみんなと同じように、クローシェ様を助ける力になったかどうかはよくわからないなぁ。何となく温かい気持ちになれたけど、他のI.P.D.のみんなのように心の中が見られたとか、具体的に何かを感じたというのは無かったから。 ココナはI.P.D.としての力があまり発揮出来ていないのかも知れないね。あれかなぁ…クロアに…アレを破られちゃったからかなぁ。えへへ。	Of course I sang! But that doesn't mean I was part of the best-of-the-best IPDs that were in Lady Cloche's Fan Club. Still, since my power is the same as the power of all other IPDs, I don't really know how much it helped Lady Cloche. It gave me warm and fuzzy feelings, but I didn't feel anything special, like the IPDs peeking into my mind or something. Maybe it's just because my IPD powers haven't manifested yet. But if that happened... maybe... I could defeat Croix... Ehehe...
	ちょ、ちょっと待て！ なんでそんな微妙な言い回しなんだ！？	H-hold it there! Why are you saying something so scary!?

現在のダイブマシンだと人間質のない者はダイブ出来ないと過去にありましたが、彌紗やミュールはシュレリアにダイブしてましたよね？これは、バイナリ野だからＯＫだったんでしょうか？それてもメイメイの持つダイブシステムが現在の物と違う為なんでしょうか？ また、フラッシュコスモスフィアで彌紗のコスモスフィアに美羽（ミュール）が登場しますが、これも直接のダイブではないから大丈夫なんでしょうか？当時はバイナリ野に潜んでたウイルス体でしたしね。 この辺、もう少し詳しくテクニカルしてください。 (アーク)

It's been said before that current Dive Machines can't let someone who doesn't have human qualities to Dive, but haven't Mir and Misha Dived too? Or it was okay in their case because it was done through the Binary Field? Or is it because the Dive System Mei Mei has is different from the one used currently everywhere else? Also, Miu (Mir) appeared in Misha's Cosmosphere during the Flash Cosmosphere, but would this be okay because it wasn't a direct Dive and because she was lurking in the Binary Field as a virus back then? (Ark)

コスモスフィアとバイナリ野は、明確に異なるものです。それはアクセスの仕方から既に違いますです。 コスモスフィアへのダイブは、H波（想いの波動）同士のぶつかり合い、という感じですが、バイナリ野はいわゆるバーチャルリアリティ的なもので、体感する感覚は非常に近いのですが、そのロジックは大きく違うのです。 ダイブはレーヴァテイルの精神世界へ干渉する行為、バイナリ野での仮想世界は、その技術を応用したバーチャルリアリティゲームといったところですね。 当時塔の中にいたミュールなどは、バイナリ野への侵入やデータの改ざんは、かなり容易だったようですね。コスモスフィアへの干渉もしていたようですが、コスモスフィアには境界門があり、バイナリ野とは遠い位置にありますから、かなり出来ることが制限されていたようです。

The Cosmospheres and the Binary Field are clearly different environments. Therefore, the way for accessing them is different too. To Dive into a Cosmosphere, the H-Waves (waves of feelings) are basically made to clash with each other, while the Binary Field is like entering something like a virtual reality in which sensations are extremely similar to the ones would have in the real world, so their logic differs greatly. Diving is the act of interfering with a Reyvateil's Soulspace, while the Binary Field is a virtual world, so the techniques used in it are the same ones used for a virtual reality game. Since Mir was inside of the Tower at the time, it seems invading the Binary Field and rewriting data on it was extremely easy for her. And while it seems she was able to interfere with the Cosmospheres, the Cosmospheres are also protected by the Boundary Gate and are located very far away from the Binary Field, so she would be severely limited to the actions she would be able to take in them.

前回に引き続き質問です。 ジャクリ母様の推測通り、惑星の意志が作用した結果死の雲海よりも下に行けないとしたら、その惑星から存在がいわば“許されて”いる塔の素材を使って探査機を作るなどして、惑星を“騙す”ことはできないのでしょうか？ (珍獣)

This question is a continuation for one from the previous issue. According to Mother Jakuri's guesses, the Sea of Death is being used by the Will of the Planet to not let anything come down to the surface, but if someone made a probe that was made by the same materials as the Towers the Planet is "allowing" to exist, would it be possible to "deceive" It? (Rare Animal)

まあ、あくまで推測でしかないから、「惑星が許さないから下に到達できない」という考え自体が仮説でしかないことを、改めて念を押しておくわ。 その上で仮説を述べるなら、素材によっては到達できるものもあるかも知れないわね。例えば、惑星アルシエルにとって思い入れの深い物質であったりすれば…という事になるけど。 でもこの理屈で考える以上、どうあがいても人間は下の世界には行けないわ。なぜなら、その素材で探査機を作っても、中にいる人は消滅してしまうと思うから。 仮定が「惑星の想いが作用している」という話になっている以上、探査機という物理障壁はナンセンスだし、星に近づかせないという意志にとって探査機の中も外も関係無いのだから。

Well, in the end it's no more than a guess, so the hypothesis itself of "not being able to reach the surface because the Planet doesn't allow it" is no more than conjecture. However, I'll revise it to emphasize something. If we did what you're suggesting, there is the possibility we could reach the surface thanks to the materials used for the probe, assuming we could use any materials about which Planet Ar Ciel cares about too much... something like that. But if you think that theory over, you would see that humans wouldn't be able to reach the lower world no matter what they did. This is because even if the probe ship was made from these materials, the people on board would surely die. From the way in which the hypothesis ended becoming "things the feelings of the planet are using", it's obvious a probe ship would be physically nonsensical, as to a Will that states it doesn't want anyone to get close to the planet, it makes make no difference if one is inside or outside the probe ship.

テクニカルサービスセンター宛です。 メタファリカでは大陸を創造しましたが、ヒュムノスで惑星を創造することは可能ですか？ レーヴァテイルの人数を増やせば惑星創生に必要な周波数と波動流量まで出せるのではないかと思ったのですが、そんなに単純な話ではないのでしょうか？ もしくは、今あるアルシエルを元に新しい生態系を上書き（？）して、アルシエルの環境を再生するといったことは可能ですか？ (ストガー)

For the Technical Service Center. Metafalica managed to create a continent, but would it be possible to create a planet using Hymmnos? I was thinking that if the number of Reyvateils singing it was increased, it would be possible to get the wave frequency and flow rate necessary to create a planet, but it isn't so simple, right? Or maybe would it be possible to overwrite the current Ar Ciel with a new ecosystem, and revive its environments through that? (Stoger)

理屈的には可能よ。その希望の大きい小さいによるけど。メタファリカは浮遊大陸として誕生しているし、形も浮いた大地という感じになっているけど、それらは全て大地の心臓の意志が決定するもので、もっと元を正せば、その大地の心臓に想いを吹き込んだ人が決めるものなのよ。 ただ、メタファリカ大陸と同じ波動レベルでは惑星は作ることが出来ないわね。なぜなら惑星は宇宙の中で生息できるようなシステムを持ち備えているけど、メタファリカ大陸は惑星アルシエルの大気圏内だからこそ保っていられるものだから。 アルシエルにとってメタファリカ大陸は異質なものではあるけど、しっかりと受け入れて、大気で包み込み護ってくれているのよ。 それで、実際に惑星を作ろうとすると大地の心臓に込める想いの質は計り知れないものになるわ。それこそ、人間の意志ではどんなに束になってもそれだけの高み（高周波）に至るには難しくて、「惑星の意志」でなければ「惑星」を生むことが出来ないくらいのレベルだと私は思っている。 エネルギー量だけなら、多分人間でもいけると思うけどね。

It's theoretically possible. It would depend on the greatness or smallness of the hopes for it though. Metafalica was born as a floating continent, and thus it also became a land that can stay hovering on the sky, but the form for the entire land is decided by its Heart of the Land, or if we go to the core of the matter, it is decided by the feelings that were breathed into the Heart. However, it's impossible to create a planet with the same wave level that was used to create the Metafalica continent. This is because a planet must be equipped with systems that allow it live within the universe, while the Metafalica continent only keeps existing because of the atmosphere of Planet Ar Ciel. To Ar Ciel, the Metafalica Continent is a foreign object, but it still accepts it and protects it by enshrouding the continent with its atmosphere. Therefore, the amount of feelings that would be necessary to lodge within a Heart of the Land to create a planet would be immeasurable. And besides, reaching that level of emotional height (high frequencies) required for this would be extremely difficult, to the level in which I think it would be impossible to give birth to a "planet" without a "Will of the Planet". As for the energy amount, maybe even humans would be able to provide enough for this, but I digress.

Editor's Postscript

最近、トウコウスフィアもかなり落ち着いてきたかなぁと思っています。逆に言えば刺激が足りない！という感じでしょうか。皆さんの投票を見ても、それを感じています。それを打破すべく、今回からトウコウフォームに「ご意見ご感想（非掲載）」という項目を作りました。 トウコウスフィアの内容や体勢に関する御意見ご感想をいただける方は、こちらの方へ書いていただけますと嬉しいです。より沢山の方が楽しめるトウコウスフィアにしたいと思いますので、今後ともよろしくお願い申し上げます！ (土屋)

I'm feeling that activity has slowed down in the Toukousphere lately. Maybe it could say that it feels like "It's the opposite! There's not enough motivation for the users!" At least that's what I feel from the results in the polls you're all filling in. As I must break down these results further, I've also added an entry to the Toukou Form from this issue onwards titled "Please send in your opinions (they won't be posted)". To everyone that wants to send over your impressions and opinions about the Toukousphere's contents and status, please do so. Receiving them will make me very happy. I think I want to make a Toukousphere you all can enjoy a lot more, so from now, I entrust this task to you all! (Tsuchiya)
