Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	テクニカルサービスセンターが賑やかになってきたのはいい事だけど、やっぱり想像したとおりになってきたわね。	While it's great that the Technical Service Center has gotten so lively, it ended becoming just like I imagined it'd be.
	それって、あれかな？おたよりコーナーみたいなノリになってきた、ってこと？	And what'd be that? That it became as lively as the Question Corner?
	あら、察しがいいじゃない。そんな内容のトウコウも頂いたことだし、今回から出演者には「ちゃんとテクニカる約束をしてもらった上で」発言してもらうことにするわ。	Oh, a nice guess. Since we've gotten so many submissions with these contents, I have to tell the performers for this time and the future ones that "they should honor their promise to stick to being Technical".
	ふんふん。運営管理って大変なんだね。	Hmmhmm. Management and administration are so much trouble, huh?

I.P.D.暴走をしてはっきりとI.P.D.であることが判明していたり、そのなかでもクローシェ親衛隊に入隊しているものばかりでなく、暴走はしていないけど実はI.P.D.、というような潜在的なI.P.D.も中にはいるんですよね？ そういう潜在的I.P.D.はメタファリカを謳ったときにはどうしていたんですか？やっぱりI.P.D.の自覚がなくても併せて謳いだしたんでしょうか？ (ヤマト)

While IPDs that have had outbreaks have been confirmed to actually be IPDs, are there also potential IPDs that haven't actually had outbreaks or were enlisted in Lady Cloche's Fan Club among them? And if there were, what were they doing when Metafalica was sung? Did they sing along all the others despite not knowing they were IPDs? (Yamato)

暴走はしていないけどI.P.D.という人はもちろんいるよ。でも、そういう人達は、自分がレーヴァテイルだという自覚はあるから、詩を謳える事に驚いたりはしないよね。後は、普通の第三世代かI.P.D.か、という差でしかないけど…ココナの場合は、クローシェ様がメタファリカを歌い始めたとき、もやもやーってカンジだったけど、色んな感情が伝わってきたよ。他のI.P.D.のみんなも同じような感じか、それ以上に鮮烈なイメージが伝わってきたんじゃないかなぁ。きっと自分がどっちか解らないレーヴァテイルさんも、その時に自分はI.P.D.なんだって気づくと思う。そしたらきっと、クローシェ様と一緒に謳ったんじゃないかなぁ。

Of course there're IPDs that didn't have outbreaks among the people. But since these people knew they were Reyvateils, they weren't surprised they could sing. As for being aware of if they were being Third Generations or IPDs... in my case, I felt all warm and fuzzy when Lady Cloche began singing Metafalica, but she also conveyed a lot of emotions to me. I think maybe all the others IPDs felt the same, but I don't really know if she conveyed to them more vivid images than that. I'm sure that many Reyvateils noticed they were IPDs at that moment even though they didn't know what kind of Reyvateils they were until then. And if that happened, I guess they'd have sung with Lady Cloche no matter what.

１の作中中盤、オリカがミュールに身体を奪われるシーンがありましたが、あの時にクレセントクロニクルの封印を解いたらミュールの意識はどちらの身体に残るのでしょうか？ （咲也）

In the middle of 1, Mir tried to snatch away Aurica's body, but in which body Mir's consciousness would have remained if Chronicle Key's seal had been broken at that time? (Sakuya)

	あのまま儀式が続いていたら、もちろんオリカの身体の中に移ることになったわね。結構時間がかかったとは思うわ。精神世界の中を全部再構築する行為だから、それが終わるまでオリカの精神力が持ったかどうかもわからないし。	If the ceremony had continued uninterrupted, naturally I'd have moved to Aurica's body. However, I think this would have required some time to be completed, as since this is basically restructuring the entirety of the contents of her Soulspace, the time it would have been needed for it to be performed to completion would have depended entirely on how much willpower Aurica had at the time.
	そっかー、みぅちゃんに乗っ取られるところだったんだね。てっきり完全に融合しちゃって、あたしの性格のみぅちゃんになるのかと思ったよ。でも、みぅちゃんの力を持つことが出来たら凄いだろうなぁ！一気に本物の聖女になって、教会を牛耳りまくりだね！	Ah, I see! That was the time when you tried hijacking me, Miu. I was sure that if we completely fused, we'd have turned into a Miu with my personality. But being able to wield all your power would be amazing! With that I could become the Holy Maiden at once and take over the Church!
	それはある意味とっても怖いことね…。現実はそうではなくて良かったわ。	That has quite the frightening implications... Honestly, I'm glad it didn't happen in the end.

最近思ったのですが、アルトネリコの塔はどうやって建っているのでしょうか?塔自体は第一紀に建てられているのは知っているのですが・・・・・・ （ラム猫）

Lately I have been thinking... how exactly was the Tower of Ar tonelico built? I know that it was built during the First Era, but... (Lamuneko)

地面から建設していましたよ？ …そういう事じゃなくて、ですか？ 今どうやって立っているのか、という事でしょうか？多分、今でも地面から生えるように立っていると思いますよ？少なくとも浮いているという事はないと思いますが。前回までお話しされていた、星に赦されているかどうか、という事に関しては、よくわかりません。ただ、アルトネリコの最も下にある原初のオルゴールが無かったら、今私たちが住む部分も死んでいるということになりますので、そこまでは確実に存在していると思います。そして、そこまで存在しているということは、地面と設置しているということです。 今はこれくらいしか答えられません。もうかれこれ７００年以上も、死の雲海の下側を見ていないのですから。

Built on the surface of the land? ...But that wasn't what you meant, correct? Or maybe do you mean about how it keeps standing even now? Maybe it has been standing as if it sprouted from the surface of the land, even now? At least I don't really think that it's floating. In one of the previous issues, we talked about this, saying that it keeps existing maybe because the Wills of the Planet allow it, but exactly how this happened is something that I don't know. Still, if the Orgel of Origins that was lodged at the foot of Ar tonelico had disappeared, the part where we live would have collapsed already and we would have died, so I'm certain that it still exists down there. Thus, is because of its existence that the Tower still keeps standing right now. For the time being, I don't have a concrete answer to this, though well, this is natural, given that no one has seen the underside of the Sea of Death since 700 years ago.

年齢三桁以上の方以外にも質問できると聞いて飛んできました。 早速ですが質問です。CSの記憶は基本的にRT側には残らないとのことですが、作中で浅い層をある程度操作していたルカ、ミシャ、ジャクリなどもやはり記憶が残っていないのでしょうか。 特にルカを始めとするセラピストの方々は修練によってCS空間の操作を身につけたということで、記憶の継承がなければ訓練するのも難しいと思うのですが、一方で自分の心の護がゲンゴローの姿をルカは知らない風でもありました。 その辺の事情は他にも原因があるとも予想されますが、それはそれとして脇に置いといて、やはりRT側にCS内の記憶は残ってないのでしょうか？ (仲村)

I'm throwing a question I think I can ask to anyone aside of the people with a three-digits age. A quick question: a Reyvateil basically never has any memories of what happens in her Cosmosphere, but would she be able to remember the events taking place in it if she could control the shallower strata of it like Luca, Jakuri and Misha do in the games? Especially Luca, who learned to control the space of her Cosmosphere thanks to her training as a Dive Therapist, so I'm thinking it'd be hard to retain these memories without any training, but on the other hand I'm also wondering how is it that Luca didn't know what her Mind Guardian Gengoro looked like. I'm guessing there might be some causes and circumstances behind that, but even so, wouldn't a Reyvateil be able to keep the memories of the events in her Cosmosphere if she had abilities like these? (Naakmura)

	レーヴァテイルは自分の心の護の事はわからないよ。私も、ダイバーズセラピをしていたときに、ゲンゴローを見たことは無いもの。	Reyvateils don't know what their Mind Guardians are. I didn't ever see Gengoro either during the times I was conducting Dive Therapy.
	当然ながら、私も自分の心の護とは出逢ったことは無いわね。少なくとも、私が操作している世界の中では。	And naturally, I didn't ever meet my Mind Guardian either. At the least, I never saw him in the world I was controlling.
	ここは遂に拙者の出番であるな！！ そう、心の護とそのマスターとなるレーヴァテイルが出逢うことは滅多にない。いや、出逢うことは特殊なケースである！そもそも心の護というのは、レーヴァテイル自身の分身と言っても過言ではない。常に自分の後ろにいて、自分をサポートする存在なのだ。自分の顔は自分で見ることは出来ない。それと同じで、心の護を自分が見ることは殆どないのだ。それでは他の人格…すなわち、天使オリカさんとバスタオルオリカさんが出逢えるのはどういう事か、という話になるが…難しいことなのだが、葛藤できる相手とは出会うことがあるのである。心の護は、この例えで言えば、バスタオルオリカさんの後ろにもいるし、天使オリカさんの後ろにもいる。だから、見ることはない。心の護が本人の目の前に現れるのは…そう、本人が自分自身を否定したときだけだ。なぜなら心の護の目的は「自分自身を助け、生存させる」事が目的であるからな。自己の否定とは相反し、そして葛藤し対立する相手となるであろう。そういう事だ。	And finally it's my turn to appear!! Yes, that a Mind Guardian and their master Reyvateil can meet is an extremely rare happening! No, it'd be better to say that only happens in special cases! After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Mind Guardians are like another self of the Reyvateils. Existences that protect them from behind and support them. You know you can't ever see your face on your own, right? The same goes for us: a Reyvateil generally never sees her own Mind Guardian. It would be as meeting another part of their personalities... remember what happened when Angel Miss Aurica and Bath Towel Miss Aurica met? That's normally very hard for that happen, and such a meeting would also cause conflict between them. In this example, the Mind Guardian that I am would always be behind both Bath Tower Miss Aurica and Angel Miss Aurica. That's why they never saw me. The only times in which the Mind Guardian would appear before the person herself... are the times in which the person herself is denying everything that makes her. So the goal of we Mind Guardians would be "save oneself, and support oneself". Denying oneself is contrary to that goal, and thus we would become the other part of a conflict if that ever happened. That's the gist of it.
	と、いうことなんだよ！わかったかな！？	O-Okay, that was it! Did you understand!?
	あたかも自分が答えたような言い方ね…。	At the least say it as if you had answered that question on your own...

過去に、ココナのように、戦士でありながらレーヴァテイル。といった人は存在していたのでしょうか? そして、そんな人は、戦闘と詩魔法を同時に行う。といったことが可能なのでしょうか。 (kou)

There have been warrior Reyvateils like Cocona in the past. Are any others like her out there? And these people can also fight and use Song Magic at the same time. Is that even possible? (kou)

いるわよ。大抵は詩魔法を謳うことになるから、両立は難しいんだけど。普段後ろで謳っていてもそこそこ強い子はいるし。ただ、戦闘中は謳った方が戦力になるから謳っているのが普通になるのよ。 歴史上では、２００年程前に在位した御子イリューシャ様がそうだったわね。あの方の武勇伝は沢山の書物になっていて、私も色々読んだわ。憧れの人の一人だったもの。

Of course there are. But since generally they focus on singing Song Magic, fighting at the same time becomes very difficult for them. Normally, warrior Reyvateils are also physically strong girls despite being able to sing. Still, since Song Magic has a greater war potential during battle, it's normal for them to dedicate mostly to singing. Historically, it seems there was a Maiden around 200 years ago that was called Lady Illusha. There are many books that extol her as a war heroine, and I have read several of them. She is one of the people I have admired the most.

	なんだか今回は随分濃い話が沢山出たね。	Somehow, it seems we got many deep submissions today.
	ふふ、作戦大成功ね。 次回以降も、皆さんに頑張ってもらいましょうね。	Huhu, looks like our war tactics were a complete success. From next issue, let's give our all for everyone out there.
