Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

あわわ、さーしゃがタイトルコールですか？ ちょっとビックリしちゃいました。 それじゃ早速！テクニカルサービスセンターです！！ 今回は久し振りにさーしゃも１問だけ回答していますです。 それにしても、すごく高度なお話をされていますね。さーしゃももっと頑張らないと、全然ついて行けないです。

Whoa! I'll be doing the title call this time? I'm a little surprised... But let's do it right now! This is the Technical Service Center!! And this is also the first time I've answered a question in a long time. It's just one, though. But anyway, we'll be talking about very advanced things. I have to work harder, or I won't be able to keep up.

アルトネリコ２をプレイしたときからの疑問です。 β純血種は18歳程度で体の成長が止まるとのことですが、ジャクリは何故15歳相当で成長が止まっているのでしょうか？ 18歳前後が詩魔法を紡ぐのに最適な年齢であるのならば、史上最強のβ純血種であるジャクリも18歳まで成長するのが普通だと思うのですが…？ （フェイフェイ）

I have a question ever since I played Ar tonelico 2. The Pureblooded β-types are supposed to stop growing once they reach the age of 18 years, but then, why did Jakuri's growth stop once she had grown to the equivalent of a 15-year old? And if the age around 18 years is the best for the crafting of Song Magic, then Jakuri simply doesn't grow to that point because she doesn't want to, given she feels the most comfortable like this, and she is the strongest Pureblooded β-type in history...? (Feifei)

そんなこと私に聞かれてもわからないわよ。 …と逃げるのは無しにして、真面目に答えるわ。 私はとっくに臨界越えているわよ。封印される前の段階で、既にそれなりに生きていたから。要するに、内部的には十分１８歳相当になっているの。それじゃ何故１５歳相当って言っているかといえば、何となくみんなに「私の年齢当ててご覧なさい」と言って聞いて回っていたら、平均値が１５歳だったからよ。実際のところ、 レーヴァテイルβ純血種の外見年齢なんて本当にアテにならないわ。だって、シュレリアが７００歳越えしているのよ？まあ、あの子はＤセロファンによる成長制御をしていないからβと比較するのはお門違いではあるんだけど、結論はただ１つ。開発者の趣味。

You might ask me that all you want, but I don't know. ..but as I'm not the type to run away, I'll give you an honest answer. A long time ago, I was under a level of stress you can't even imagine. And before I was sealed away, that stress ended becoming my life itself. In short, my body had already reached internally the form of a 18 year-old, but somehow, when everyone "tried guessing my age", the only thing they said to me was that I had 15 years, and that was kinda the reason. And actually, the physical age isn't reliable at all for judging the age of a Pureblooded β-type Reyvateil. Because, you know how Shurelia is over 700 years old, right? Well, given that she can't really control her growth through the D-Cellophane, like us βs do, comparing us with her is simply barking up the wrong tree, so to speak. However, there's just one conclusion that can be drawn from this. It's because of the tastes of our developers.

3が発売されてしばらく経ちましたね！ 作中でティリアが3人のオリジンの中でもっとも高性能と言われてましたが、なにがどうなるとオリジンとして高性能と言えるのでしょうか？ 教えてシュレリア先生！ジャクリ先生！ （あげぱんソーダ）

It's been just a little since 3 got released! In the game, Tyria's said to be the most advanced Reyvateil among the Origins, but in which sense are they saying that? Please tell me, teacher Shurelia! Teacher Jakuri! (Agepan Soda)

	それを私に聞きますか？	Are you asking me that?
	仕事しなさい。仕事なんだから嫌な質問だってあるでしょう？ 私が全部答えてもいいんだけど。	Just do your work. In this kind of work, you also have to answer questions you dislike, no? I'm fine with answering it myself, though.
	わかりました。私が答えます。 簡単に言えば、感じたり表現したりすることが出来る限界周波数が、私やフレリア、β純血種より遙かに高く設定されています。それによって、私達には見えない存在も見えるそうです。要するに、もっと高次元の生命体の事ですね。あと、私によってレーヴァテイル理論が確立がされてからの生産としては初のオリジンになりますから、色んな点で、私の性質で欠陥と思われた部分が改善されて入れられています。ただ、限界周波数を上げていたり、他にも様々な部分で新たに試験的な試みを入れているため、私やフレリア、βよりもよっぽど不安定な個体だという話も聞いています。	Very well, I'll answer it. Simply put, it's because she was designed with the capacity of feeling and emitting wave frequencies far higher than those that Pureblooded β-types, Frelia and myself can. Because of that, she could even see beings that we can't. To make it short, these beings are higher-level life forms. As I was the very first Origin created according to what was established in the Reyvateil theory, there are several points in which my nature was considered to be flawed, which is why I underwent several revisions and improvements. Still, I've also heard that because they also added to her several experimental features when they raised her frequency limit, she has a much more unstable ego than the βs, Frelia or me.
	ふーん。真面目に答えたわね。立派立派。	Hmm, so you diligently answered it, huh? Splendid, simply splendid.

過去ログを読んでいてふと疑問に感じたことなのですが、第37回のテクニカルサービスセンターでレーヴァテイル同士のダイブについて回答されていました。 その時にダイバー側がレーヴァテイルだった場合はレーヴァテイルの人間質が認識されダイブされるという話でした。 ではオリジンのクローンであるβ純血種がダイバー側に回るとどうなるのでしょうか？ β純血種には人間質がないと思うので、ダイブマシンから認識がされずダイブが行えないのではないかというのが個人的見解です。 ご回答宜しくお願い致します。 （柊）

I suddenly got a question while I was reading the backlogs: to be more specific, it's where a question about Reyvateils being able to Dive into each other was answered in the Technical Service Center of issue #37. Back then, it was said that if the Diver side of the Dive Machine could recognize the human nature of the Reyvateil, she would be able to Dive. So, what would happen if Pureblooded β-types, which are clones of the Origins, entered that pod? I personally interpreted it as since it'd think that the Pureblooded β-types didn't have a human nature, the Dive Machine wouldn't find it in them and thus wouldn't allow them to Dive. Please, answer me. (Holly)

良くできました。正解よ。 β純血種がダイバー側のポッドに入っても、何も起こらないわ。ＣＤ－ＲＯＭドライブにディスクを入れているのに「ディスクを挿入してください」と出続けるような感じになるわね。そう言う意味では、第三世代はＣＤ－ＥＸＴＲＡみたいなものね。

You understood it very well. That's correct. If a Pureblooded β-type enters the pod corresponding to the Diver's side, nothing will happen. It would be like a CD-ROM drive giving you an error message of "Please, insert a disc" after you put a disc in it. If we use this analogy, the Third Generations could be considered as something like a CD-EXTRA then.

β純血種は培養機で創られると知って思ったのですが、人工的に創りだす過程で、ある程度の身体構造の操作は可能なのですか？ 例えば胸の大きさとか。（コラ） （クロス）

I know that Pureblooded β-types are created in nurturing tanks, but given they are created artificially, would it be possible to modify the structures of their bodies to a certain extent? For example, the size of their breasts? (Hey!!) (Cross)

できるよ！ １つめの回答でもジャクリが半分答えを言っちゃってるけど、最終的な成長形態に関しては、ある程度の設定が出来るみたい。それがＤセロファンっていう初期設定が記録されたものに載っていて、だいたいその方向性でボディが成長していくらしいよ。でも、絵で描いたものと全く同じものに成長するってわけじゃなくて、その辺りには結構誤差があるんだって。だから、本当に大まかな設定しか出来ないって感じかな。でも、例で言っている胸の大きさとかは、それなりに思った通りに反映されるんじゃないかな？さすがに８８ｃｍがいい！って設定しても、その通りになるかはわからないし、そもそも８８ｃｍとか定義できるわけじゃないから、８０ｃｍ～９６ｃｍくらいの誤差は出るんじゃないかと思うよ。正規分布的に、だけど。

Of course it's possible! Jakuri said around half of this in the answer to the first question, but looks like it's possible to configure up to a certain extent how their final growth will turn out. That's done because they have a D-Cellophane Installed into them, which has the initial configuration for their bodies recorded into it and generally gives their growth a certain direction. However, just because they have to blueprints to turn out a certain way doesn't mean that they will grow to be exactly as they were on paper, given the great number of calculation errors that influence them. Therefore, actually it's only possible to configure them in a very broad way... more or less. But like in the example you put of the size of their breasts, I think that's something that could get reflected the way it was configured. Let's say you configure them with the idea of "88cm would be the best!!", but there's no certain way of knowing they'll develop exactly like that, as while you might have defined them as 88cm or something else, they could go from 80cm to 96cm due to the calculation errors. It's just a matter of normal distribution though.

テクニカルサービスセンター宛です。 ものすごく基礎的な質問なんですが、アカネちゃんの家に在るダイブマシンは誰がダイブすることを想定して置かれているんでしょうか。状況的に、アカネちゃんが人間質を持つ誰か（多分男）を自宅に連れ込んでいるとしか思われないのですが…それとも以前のユーザーの趣味！？ （きむら秀一＠ようやくクリア）

This is addressed to the Technical Service Center. This might be a very elemental question, but since Aki has a Dive Machine in her house, someone installed it assuming she was going to to Dive? Given the situation, I don't really want to think that Aki brings someone with a human nature (maybe a man) back home in order to Dive but... or was it because of the hobbies of the previous user of the machine!?

さーしゃが調べた範囲でお答えしますです！ クラスタニアのダイブマシン、特にご家庭のマシンは、１台しかありません。それは、家庭内にダイバーを招かないという事を意味しています。すなわち、アカネさんの家にあるダイブポッドはレーヴァテイル側のみなんです。ダイバー側はといいますと、スレイヴにある人間の家のダイブマシンです。ここから全てのダイブケーブルが一旦ハーヴェスターシャの管轄を経由して、レーヴァテイル街区に流れ込んでいます。そして、ダイバーとレーヴァテイルの適性を元に組を決定し、見ず知らずの人同士でダイブをするそうです。とっても効率が悪そうに見えますが、きっとクラスタニアの事ですから、何かノウハウがあっての事だと思います。今はこれくらいしかわかりませんです。

I'll answer with everything I've researched! The Clustanian Dive Machines are models especially modified for home use that only have one pod. That means that the Diver doesn't get invited to the house, so the pod Akane has in her house is the one for the Reyvateil. As for the Diver's side, it's located in the Dive Machine of the houses where the humans live in the Slave District. All the Dive cables that come out from here are relayed temporarily through Harvestasha's control and exit at the Reyvateil District. Then, the compatibility of the Reyvateils and Divers is determined, and it ends so couples that have never seen each other, or even known each other, do Dives. It might seem like something that has a terrible efficiency, but since we're talking about the Clustanians, I think they have some tricks for this. That's everything I know about it.

質問していただいている皆さん、ありがとうございました！ こういう機会があると、さーしゃももっと頑張ろうって思えてきます。 もっともっと頑張って、もっと色んな質問にこたえられるように、これからもがんばりますです！！

Thank you everyone for asking so many questions! If I ever get other chance like this, I'd like to work even harder. If I do so, I'll be able to answer many more questions, so I'll work much harder from now on!!

Editor's Postscript

発売からそろそろ１ヶ月になりますが、トウコウスフィアの投稿数が衰えることなく、寧ろガンガン増えています。今回の投稿道場を見ていただければその活況っぷりは一目瞭然ですが、本当に沢山の皆さんに参加していただいて大感謝です。先週の「引鉄」でもお話ししましたが、今度ちょっとしたファン感謝イベントも予定しております。これからも色々と新しい物を提供していきますので、引き続きよろしくお願い申し上げます！ (土屋)

And it's been a month already since the release, but the amount of submissions in the Toukousphere hasn't decreased at all: rather, it seems to be going up and up. It should be apparent just from seeing how much activity there was in this issue's Submission Dojo, but a lot of you all took part in this issue, and I can only give you my heartfelt gratitude for it. The last week we talked about the "trigger", but right now we're planning to hold an event to thank all our fans. I want to try offering all sorts of things to you all from now on, so I hope we can continue working together for a much longer time! (Tsuchiya)
