Question Corner

ミシャに質問です。 前回のトウコウスフィアでオボンヌが嫌いな理由が「ライナーに無理やり食べさせられたトラウマが甦る」と言ってましたが具体的にどんな食べさせられ方をしたんでしょうか？ トラウマをつつく事はあまりしたくないのですがすごく気になります。 もしよければ教えていただけないでしょうか。 (みっち)

I have a question for Misha. You said in the previous toukousphere that the reason you hate funbuns is because they “bring back the trauma of being forced to eat them by Lyner”, but what exactly did he do to make you eat them? I don’t want to aggravate your trauma, but I’m very curious. Could you tell me if you don’t mind? (Micchi)

う～ん……あんまり詳しくは話せないの。 どうしてかというと、これについてはゲーム中の宿会話で話しているからよ。 だからどうしても知りたいならゲームの方をプレイしてみてね。

Hrmm… I can’t really talk about it in detail. If you’re wondering why, it’s because I talk about it during one of the talk topics in-game. So play the game if you absolutely must know.

言っとくけど、無理やり口にオボンヌ押し込んだりとかはしてないからな！ そういう食べさせ方ではないってことだけは忘れないでくれよ。

Just so you know, I wouldn’t do something like stuff funbuns in her mouth! Please remember that’s not how I made her eat them.

7月7日は七夕です・・・が みなさんは何をお願いしますか？ 自分は・・・彼女がほしいです！！ (みとこん)

July 7th is Tanabata… what is everyone going to wish for? I… want a girlfriend!! (Mitokon)

短冊に願いを書けば叶うなんて非科学的なこと、やるわけないでしょ。 大体それをやって本当に叶った人なんているのかしら？

The idea that your wish will be granted if you write it on a slip of paper is unscientific, there’s no way I’d do it. Is there really anyone whose wish was granted by doing that in the first place?

それが気になったから、実際に今年の七夕に実験してみたわ。 神聖政府軍に所属していた人達を100人集めて、今すぐ叶うであろう願いをいっせいにしてもらったの。 その結果、100人中99名が叶わずに終わったわ。

I was curious, so I actually ran an experiment this Tanabata. I got together 100 people who had been part of the Sacred Army and had them all make a wish to be granted right away. It didn’t work for 99 of the 100.

どうしてそんな夢を壊すような実験を……ちょっと待て、1人は叶ったのか！？

Why would you run such a dream-crushing…wait a second, it worked for one of them?!

科学ではまだ解明できないことが沢山あるってことね。 ……私も、来年からは何か願ってみようかしら？

There are many things we still can’t explain with science. …Perhaps I’ll start making wishes next year.

Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	さあ、今回もガツンと行ってみようか！？ アルフマンの俺様道場ーーーっ！！！	Okay then, shall we try giving it a start with some impact!? Alfman's Marvelous Me Dojoooooo!!!
	はぁ！？何それ。あんたばっかじゃないの！？ 勝手に神聖なるテクニカルサービスセンターをイロモノコーナーに変えないでよ！	Hh!? What? Are you an idiot!? Don't try turning our hallowed Technical Service Center into a variety show just because you feel like it!
	何だと！？ 今日は俺様がタイトルコールを頼まれたんだ！俺様がどうしようと俺様の勝手だ！！	What!? I was asked to do the title call today! I'll do it however I want!!
	わかったわ。それじゃ、みんなからのトウコウをここに置いておくから、ちゃんと答えてね。 間違ったこと答えたら、後でどうなるか分かってるかしら？	Okay. Then make sure to answer to the submissions everyone left here. You know what I'll do to you later if you answer even one incorrectly, right?
	……。 …。 お、おおっと！コーナー名を間違えていたようだぜ！！ 今日も頑張ってテクニカろうぜ！！	... ... Ugh, looks like I mistook the corner's name!! Let's do our best at getting technical today too!!

ヒロイン達がコスモスフィアから生み出したコスチュームは、詩魔法なのでしょうか。 それとも、詩魔法によって作られた普通の服なのでしょうか。 （ぱくまん）

The Costumes that the Heroines gain from their Cosmospheres are Song Magic? Or are they normal clothes made through Song Magic? (Pokuman)

どちらとも言えるわね。詩魔法で創られている…という言い方をすると、謳っていないと服が消えてしまうような印象をうけるけど、実際はコスチュームチェンジするときには謳ってはいないし、ただ、詩魔法の産物であることは間違いないわね。それは、本来の意味での「詩魔法」ということで、それはレーヴァテイルの中の中核三角環が謳っている、という事なのよ。 中核三角環が謳うことで私達の周りに導体D波が発せられ、それが服の材質や形状を成し、定常D波として服を創るのよ。あ、それと、万が一インフェル・ピラの機能が止まってしまっても裸にならないから、その手の質問は送ってこないで頂戴。大自然の想いに還るだけよ。それはすなわち、アルシエルが生み出したものに戻る＝本来の服に戻るだけだから。

We can say that they are both. They are made through Song Magic... but if we said that, it would give the impression that they would disappear when we stopped singing, when we actually don't sing at the time of performing a Costume Change, and at the same time, you aren't wrong at guessing that they are a product of Song Magic. They are in essence, the same as "Song Magic", but they are a product of the singing of the Triangular Nuclear Loop that the Reyvateils have within them. The singing of the Triangular Nuclear Loop releases Dynamic D-Waves around us, which then produce the materials and shape of the costumes, and finally turn into Static D-Waves, creating them. Ah, and by the way, don't even dare to ask if I would get stripped if Infel Phira stopped functioning, because that is not going to happen. The costumes would just return to being the feelings of Mother Nature. In other words, they would just return to being the things that were created by Ar Ciel: to my original clothes.

テクニカルサービスセンターのお嬢さん方へ。最初に懺悔します。 …しばらくトウコウスフィア覗いてませんでした、ごめんなさい（いやその、聖地巡礼トカ聖書作成とか忙しかったんで…）。 うっかり完徹でバックナンバー見返しちゃいました…ふふ。 で、最近ふと疑問に思った事を伺いたく。 レーヴァテイルの紡いだ詩魔法は「EXEC_HYMME_○○」って形式ですが、これはI.P.D.も同じ形式になるのでしょうか？ バックナンバーを拝読した中に「パートナーは（I.P.D.だと）判る」というような記述があったのですが、ということは、新約パスタリエで紡がれた詩魔法は「METHOD_HYMME_○○」になるのでしょうか？ （おにの＠特ダネ情報局はこれからです）

This is addressed to the young ladies of the Technical Service Center. I'll begin by confessing myself. ...I haven't read the Toukousphere since a long time ago, so I'm very sorry (well, because I was pretty busy following the Holy Scriptures and going on a pilgrimage...) So I spent the entirety of the last night reading all of the previous issues... hehe. And well, this is the last inquiry I thought off, and that's what I'd like to ask. The official format for the Song Magic crafted by the Reyvateils is "EXEC_HYMME_OO", but does that same format apply for the IPDs too? According to what I read in the previous issues, I remember it being described as something like "the partners (of the IPDs) would know", but does this mean that the Song Magic crafted through the New Testament of Pastalie would be "METHOD_HYMME_OO"? (Onino@Following from now the Special Spoiler Information Agency)

そうよ。METHOD_HYMME_XXX/.形式の詩魔法になるわね。まあ実際は詩魔法の名前でわかるわけじゃなくて、謳っているヒュムノス語があまりに機械的な発音になるからわかると言った方が正しいけど。何にしても名前はMETHOD＿HYMME。 EXEC_HYMME_に比べて、実効値はかなり高く、発動タイミングも早いわよ。ふふ。

That is correct. METHOD_HYMME_XXX/. is the official format used by our Song Magic. Well, that actually doesn't mean that you can know it from the name of the Song Magic: it would be more correct to say that you can know it if the Hymmnos language used to sing it has a more mechanical pronunciation. Anyway, the name is indeed METHOD_HYMME. In comparison to EXEC_HYMME; I have to say that its actual efficacy is much higher because of its faster execution timing. Fufufu....

ヒュムネコードについて確認させてください。 以前のトウコウで、本来ヒュムネコードを持たない第三世代のオリカは、そのスペクトラム遺伝子の形状がミュールのものと似ているので、塔がオリカを誤認識していると言っていたと思います。 そこで疑問なのですが、第三世代がヒュムネコードを持たないというのは、 ・実際に存在しない、 ・存在はするが塔に登録されていないので「持たない」と扱われる、 のどちらになるのでしょうか？ （咲也）

Please, explain me something about the Hymn Codes. I think in a previous Toukousphere issue, it was said that Aurica, a Third Generation that by nature doesn't have a Hymn Code, was incorrectly recognized as Mir by the Tower, due to her Gene Spectrum having a very similar shape to Mir's. What I want to ask is that when it was said that Third Generations don't have Hymn Codes, it was actually meant that either: -They really don't have one. -They do have one, but since it wasn't registered in the Tower's database, they are treated as if "they didn't have one". So, which one would be? (Sakuya)

後者が正解かな。そもそも、ヒュムネコードっていうのは「存在する」というよりかは、レーヴァテイルの精神スペクトラムの一部を切り取ったものであって、別に新たに創り出しているものじゃないんだよ。例えばみんな指紋は指に付いているよね？でも、警察に指紋が登録されている人って少ないじゃない。要するに、指紋がヒュムネコードで、警察に登録されている＝ヒュムネコードを「持っている」という解釈になるよ。だから、ミシャちゃんは警察に登録されていることになるね。あたしは、たまたまみぅちゃんが何かやらかして警察にお世話になった後で、指紋照合をしたらたまたまピッタリ合っちゃって散々な目にあった、不幸な冤罪の犠牲者…ってことになるかな。わかりやすいでしょ？

I think the correct one would be the latter option. In the first place, it could be said that all Reyvateils "have" Hymn Codes, except for the part of they being created separately from them by writing them into an isolated part of their mental spectra. For example, you know everyone has fingerprints, right? Well, the police only has registered the fingerprints of a handful of people. In other words, we could interpret this as the fingerprints being the Hymn Codes and having them registered by the police would be as being recognized by the Tower as "having" a Code. So basically, Misha already had her fingerprints registered by the police. In my case, it'd be as if Miu had done something and after the police got word of it, when they went to compare the fingerprints, they found a perfect match with mine instead due to them not looking correctly at the prints, getting myself falsely accused of a crime I didn't commit... more or less. Does this make it easier to understand?

ダイブの際に大怪我、例えばクロアはジャクリの五階層のラストでミュロスに刀で刺されて、そのまま物語が終了し、ダイブを終えていますが、現実に戻った時に刺された痛みが残留していることはありますか？ 脳が「刺されてしまった」と誤認識してしまい傷跡の無い傷が痛む、という感じです。有り得なくは無いと思うのですが、どうなんですか？ (ハーモニ)

If someone gets seriously injured during a Dive, like when Croix was stabbed by Miros' blade at the very end of Jakuri's fifth stratum and the story ended at that point, would it be possible for them to continue having some residual pain when the Dive ends and the Diver returns to reality? Basically, that the brain would misrecognize "that the body was stabbed" and gives off the feeling of a non-existent wound aching. I don't think it's impossible, but would that actually happen? (Harmony)

	ああ、あるさ！もちろん有るとも！！いわゆる「ファントムペイン」というヤツだな！身体は何ともなくても、精神が「イタイに違いない！痛くないはずがない！」と思ってしまうことで、痛みが発生するアレだ。当然、精神をむき出しにして、極限の環境下に置くダイブの状況は、ファントムペインを呼び起こす事例は多いぜ。クロアはあまり無かったみたいだがな、精神的に強いヤツだと、そういう暗示的なものには引っかからないって訳か。これもまたダイバーの素質なのかもしれねぇなぁ。まあ、アイツの場合家庭の事情がアレだからな。いつ如何なる時でも有事の際には外からの精神的苦痛を遮断して自分の世界に入り込む術を身につけているんだろ。	Agh, shut it! Of course it's possible, as that's the so-called "phantom pain"! That's when you feel pain because your mind thinks "It hurts for sure, so it should hurt!" even if your body is perfectly fine. And naturally, since the mind is laid bare and placed to the most extreme environment during a Dive, it's pretty standard fare for Divers to suffer from phantom pain. Looks like that boy Croix didn't suffer from it much, and that'd be because it seems he's a pretty strong-minded fellow that doesn't get drawn in so easily into suggestion like that. That's also one of the characteristics Divers should have. But well, that's just because of the familiar situation he had. As an emergency could happen at any time, he learned to isolate himself in his own little world to block out all external things that could cause him mental anguish.
	家庭の事情がアレとか、加害者が言うなっつーの！	I don't wanna hear that from the one who caused that same situation!

	どうだ！俺様の回答はなかなか的確だっただろ？	So what did you think!? Was my answer accurate enough for you?
	ふん、なかなかやるじゃない。アンタにしては、１コ答えられただけでも上出来よ。 それはそうとアンタ、ダイブ経験あったのね。なかなか興味有るわ。どんな相手だったの？	Hmm, you didn't much anyway, as you could only answer a single question. And besides, it seems like you had some Diving experience and have some interest on it. What kind of person was your Diving partner?
	ぎゃーーーー！！いててててて！！ バカ野郎！そんなこと思い出させるんじゃねえよ！ 古傷が痛むだろ！	Gyaaaah!! Damn, it huuuuuurts!! Idiot! Don't make me remember that! You opened up an old scar!!

Editor's Postscript

急に暑くなってきまして、一気にのぼせ気味です。やらなければいけないことが沢山有るのですがー…。いよいよ夏休みが始まりますし、休める人は休めるときに、目一杯休みましょう！…という事を最近切に思います。歳を取って体力が無くなったということかもしれませんね。トウコウスフィアは這ってでも書きますので、今後ともよろしくお願いします！ (土屋)

It suddenly got pretty hot, so I instantly began feeling very dizzy. But I had so many things I had to do... Looks like summer break is about to begin, and since it's the time for people that have vacations to rest, let's make sure to put all our efforts into resting! ...That's what I've been earnestly thinking the last few days. Maybe I'm just growing old and losing vitality due to it. I'll continue writing the Toukousphere even if I have to slow down to a crawl to do it, so we hope we can continue working together from now on! (Tsuchiya)
