This Week's Infel Breeze

みんなに大ニュースだよ！！ アルトネリコ３が、CEDEC（ゲーム開発者の学会発表会のようなもの）で行われた「CEDEC AWARD（技術面での功績を讃える賞）」で、サウンド部門優秀賞を受賞したよ！

Everyone, we've got big news here!! Ar tonelico 3 has been awarded a prize for excellence in its sound department at the "CEDEC AWARD (awards that extol technological achievement)" the CEDEC (something like an academic presentation for game developers) bestows every year!

	今回は惜しくも最優秀賞にはなれなかったけど、次に何かプロジェクトをするときにもバッチリ目指していくよ！って開発者が言ってたよ。 でも、こうやって各方面から注目されるようになったのも、一重にみんなが支援し続けてくれたからなんだよね。本当にありがとう！！ これからも色々なチャレンジをしていくから、みんなも引き続き応援よろしくね！！	"While we sadly didn't get awarded the best of the awards, we'll do our best to try and win it next time with one of our projects!", that's what the developers said. But that we got to the point where we could get noticed by everyone was just because you all kept supporting us! Thanks, really!! We'll be facing all sorta challenges from now on, so I hope we can continue gaining your support for a much longer time!!
	ああっ！！2回連続で私のコーナーを乗っ取られた！そんな事は許されないわよ！？   でも、アルトネリコ3が賞を取ったんじゃしょうがないわね。「賞」をとったんじゃ「しょう」がないわね～！！	Aagh!! This is the second consecutive time my corner has been taken over! You know I won't consent to that!?   But anyway, looks like Ar tonelico was given an award, huh? But well isn't like they got an "award" for being in "a ward", huh!?

賞をとったんじゃしょうがない An award for being in a ward

[ 意味が分かりません＞＜ ] I don't get it 　 　4(1%) [ さすがインフェルさん！タダ ] That's our Infel! Tadah! 　 　28(9%) [ 賞を取ったのに賞がないとは ] They got an award because they are in a ward of sound 　 　148(47%) [ シャキーーーーーーーーーー ] Ba-dump tish!! 　 　135(43%) Fun's minivote system -TOU=Hyoon-. Made by A.T

	あ、そうそう！次回はいよいよ100周年だね！ そこで100周年を記念して、1回だけの特別企画を開催する予定だよ！その企画用のトウコウを来週火曜日から受け付けるから、ドシドシ応募してね！詳しくは来週告知するよ。	Ah, right! Next issues will finally be our 100th anniversary! To commemorate it, we plan to unveil a special project that'll be only for that issue! We'll begin accepting submissions for that project from next Tuesday on, so make sure to participate on it! We'll announce the details next week.
	<a name="t6"></a> ひゃ…100…周年…！？ 100回記念だろ……？	Huh...? 100th... anniversary...!? Isn't it a commemoration for reaching 100 issues...?

Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

	テクニカルセンターです！ 今日も頑張って皆さんの謎に回答してしまいますよ？ きゅっきゅっ！	Technical Center! Today, shall we do our best again to answer to any enigmas our users might present us? Kyuukyuu!
	あら、久々に職場復帰ね。 そういえば、最近「タイトルのシュレリアとジャクリという名前は既に意味がない」と言われる事が多いけど、確かに私と貴方でやるのは久し振りね。	Ah, it's been quite some time since I last came back to my workplace, huh? By the way, while there have been a lot of people saying that "there's no point to having Shurelia and Jakuri in the name of the corner", we're still going to work on it today as we used to so long ago.
	というわけで、久し振りに初心に返って頑張りましょう！ きゅっきゅっきゅっ♪	Which means we're going to do our best as we originally intended long ago! Kyuukyuu♪

アルトネリコ2でヴィーナを謳ったあと天界の塔が出現しましたが、第一塔のリンカーネイションから天界の塔を見ること（肉眼に限らず双眼鏡なども含み）はできるのでしょうか？ (refri)

The Tower to the Heavens appeared when Viena was sung in Ar tonelico 2, but can said Tower be seen from the First Tower's Rinkernator (even if it can't be seen with the naked eye and binoculars or such are needed for it)? (refri)

頑張れば見えると思いますが、あまりに塔の径が細い為、肉眼ではほぼ不可能ですね。高度的にはちゃんと見えますよ。

I think you could if you made enough effort, but since the Tower itself is so thin, it would be next to impossible to see it with the naked eye. But if we only consider the altitude, it should be possible to see it.

こんばんは!! ふるること、フレリア様に質問です! 唯一コスモスフィアを持つオリジンとのことでしたが、オリジンでも心の護っているのでしょうか!? (フレリア様の場合小さい頃のエンジャだったりして） また、階層は普通のレーヴァテイルと同じ９階層なのでしょうか？それとも更に深くなっていたりしますか？教えてください!! (K,U)

Good evening! I've got a question for Fururu, or rather Lady Frelia! You're said to be the only Origin that has a Cosmosphere, so does that mean you're an Origin that has a Mind Guardian!? (Which in your case, I think it should be Enja when he was little) Also, would you have nine strata in your Cosmosphere, like all normal Reyvateils do? Or would it be even deeper? Please tell me!! (K, U)

御指名ありがとうね！コスモスフィアは、私もβと同じで９階層までだよ。そもそもオリジンと言っても精神世界深度のような根幹の部分は 同じだから、精神世界の中身もβとそれ程変わらないと思うよ。 もしティリアちゃんにコスモスフィアがあったら、多分レベル２０くらいまでは有ったと思うけどね。 あと、心の護だけど、もちろん私にもいるよ。でも自分では何かは分からないんだ。エンジャだといいなぁ。

Thanks for naming me! My Cosmosphere is just like those of the βs and only has nine strata. While I'm called an Origin, my Soulspace has the same root parts as those of the βs, so its contents aren't really different from the ones they have. But if Tyri had a Cosmosphere, I think she'd have about 20 levels to it. Also, I do have a Mind Guardian, but I don'tknow what it is. It'd be great if it was Enja though.

『ドラマCDアルトネリコ３　sideフィンネル』にてジャクリが第三塔にこれたのは何故でしょうか？ 確か水になって溶けてしまうみたいなことをどこかで・・・？ 塔間ネットワークのおかげでしょうか？ そもそも塔間ネットワークとは何なのでしょうか？ (REDC)

How did Jakuri get to the Third Tower to appear in the "Drama CD Ar tonelico 3 Side Finnel"? Wasn't she supposed to melt away into water in the way there...? Or was it thanks to the Inter-Tower Network? And anyway, what is the Inter-Tower Network? (REDC)

細かい事はおいおい発表になると思うから、ここでは簡単にドラマＣＤの補足も兼ねて説明するわ。 塔間ネットというのは、大地が復活した後のアルシエルで、比較的はやいうちに行われた取り組みの１つよ。目的はもちろん、レーヴァテイルの行動範囲を限りなく１００％に広げる為ね。 ただ、第一塔と第二塔との間には、実質相当強力な塔間ネットが既に存在する為、その作業は第三塔と、第一、第二塔を結ぶものだったわ。 簡単に言えば、それぞれの塔の間に２つずつ衛星を置いて中継し、その中継点自体もアクセスポイント（塔自体と同等の機能）を持つものとして設計されているのよ。 とまあ、これだけ言っておいて何だけど、私は何もやってないんだけど。さーしゃが主体となって天覇が実務協力をしたプロジェクトだったからね。

Since I thought the details for it were covered well enough in the announcement, I'll just explain it as a simple addendum for the Drama CD. The Inter-Tower Network is basically an initiative that was started comparatively fast in Ar Ciel after the land was revived. Its goal was of course expanding in a 100% the effective range of the Towers, so there were no limits to the places they could go to. Still, since there was already an appropriately strong Inter-Tower Network linking the First and Second Towers, its actions ended being just connecting the Third Tower to the First and the Second. To explain it in a simple way, there were two relay satellites launched between each Tower, which were designed to have the capabilities of relay stations and access points (have the same functions as the Towers themselves). And well, while I'm the one explaining it, it doesn't mean I actually worked on that project. This project was actually worked in mainly by Sasha after she got Tenba's cooperation for it.

前回は質問に答えていただきありがとうございました！ 質問ですが、惑星再生の際にＸＰ様がコアに残ってしまいましたがその後の塔の管理はどうしているのでしょうか？ システムの都合上相互での補完・管理が重要なはずなのでハーヴェ様単体ではいけないと思っていたのですが。 (マスカルポーネ)

Thanks for answering my questions in the previous issue! I've got another question: after Lady XP has been left in the Planetary Core during the Planet's regeneration, who would administrate the Tower? The system management seemed to need a mutual relationship of support - administration to work due to the circumstances behind its creation, so I was thinking it'd be impossible for a single Lady Harvey to handle all of it. (Mascarpone)

	失礼な事言わないでくれない？妾が一人でやってるわよ。…といっても妾とは違うスキンの妾だけど。	Stop being so rude. I can do it myself just fine. But anyway, maybe I should try applying a different personality skin to myself.
	はい！私が全部やってます！ 確かにモジュール・ハーヴェスターシャはデュアルサイクルシステムを前提として動いていますが、元々はXP姉様一人で稼働していたものでして、デュアルサイクル自体は後に信頼性の強化の為に追加されたシステムなんです。 そのデュアルサイクルの重要性は主に、AHPPの最終プロジェクトであるXPシェルの発射信頼性を上げる為のものであって、それが終わり、残った塔の維持管理程度であればシングルでも十分に対応できるものなのです。 ですから、その後のシステムはシングルサイクルで稼働していますし、大変ですけど特に問題は発生していませんよ？	Yes! I can do it all on my own! It's true that the Module Harvestasha works under the thesis of being a Dual Cycle System, but since Sis XP was the only one who existed at first, the Dual Cycle itself was only a system that was added afterwards to intensify the reliability level on it. The most important part of the Dual Cycle is increasing the accuracy level of the railgun when the XP Shell is being shot during the final stages of the AHPP project, so once it has been carried out, a single system is perfectly capable of doing a task like administrating the Tower that was left behind. Therefore, the system can work as a Single Cycle afterwards, and even if something important happens, there shouldn't be any problems.

アカネは感情設定を低めにしてつくられているそうですが、この感情設定とはどういうものなのでしょうか？　また、それはミュールに施されていた感情を無くす作業と同じものなのでしょうか？ (マロヤ)

It seems like Akane was configured to have a low emotional development, but how was this emotional development configuration done? Was it something similar to what was done to Mir to get rid of her emotions? (Maroya)

ぶっちゃけ言うと、アヤタネミチタカが第一塔へ行っていたときに第三塔に送ってきていた機密資料に基づいて妾が研究をし、独自のアルゴリズムで実装したものなのよ。だから、根本の原理は同じという事になるわね。 感情設定ってのは、コスモスフィアのあるアドレス領域に対してリミッターを掛けるものなのよ。初期状態における波動の振幅を抑えるような処理をしているだけの単純なものよ。まあ、単純って言ってもそれは妾にとってそうなだけで、愚かなニンゲンからしてみれば結構複雑に見えるみたいだけど。

To be honest, it was from the application of some unique algorithms I developed from researching the classified documents that were brought back from the First Tower to the Third during the mission Ayatane Michitaka had there. So we could say we applied the same basic principles here. The emotional configuration is merely setting a limiter in a certain address region of the Cosmosphere, which is a simple mechanism that keeps wavelengths from getting too wide in comparison to their initial state. Well, I say simple because it seems simple to me, but it seems something like that is far to complex for stupid humans like you to understand.

Editor's Postscript

ハーヴェスターシャツイッターも終わり、さぽているキャンペーンもプレゼントも終了し、夏の4周年祭が終了して一気に寂しくなってしまっ た感じです。でも、まだあと1回、ニコニコキャラ放送アンコールが残っていますから、皆様お楽しみに。まだ日にちは確定していませんが、来週金曜日の20時半を目処に行いたいと思っております。 また、過去の放送をムービーにして欲しい、という御意見をいただいておりますが、自前のシステムで行っておりませんので、大変恐縮ではございますが難しいかと思います。ニコニコ動画様とは相談させていただこうかとは思っております。 何にしましても次回はなんとついに100回目です！！そして今後もまだ関連商品なども出て行きますので、引き続きよろしくお願いします！ (土屋)

Now the Harvestasha Twitter has come to its end, as also did the Supporteil Present Campaign, it feels pretty lonely all of a sudden now that this summer's Fourth Anniversary Festival has ended. But well, we still have the NicoNico Character Broadcast encore pending, so I hope you're all looking forward to it. We still haven't decided on an exact date for it, but we're trying to hold it someday next week at 8 PM. We've gotten a lot of opinions saying they'd like us to make the previous broadcasts into a movie, but since I didn't make the system for it myself, I think it'd be pretty difficult to pull it off, and for that I'm very sorry. However, I'll try to discuss this with the staff from NicoNico Douga to see what I can do. At any rate, next issue is finally our hundredth one!! And we still have planned to release several other products, so please continue supporting us! (Tsuchiya)
