白雲の章 White Clouds Chapter
花冠の節 Garland Moon
霧中の叛乱 Rebellion in the Mist
Just to clarify, all references to the Lord can be replaced with “the Goddess”, because the Lord of Fodlan is the Goddess.
Summary of changes:
- Catherine’s nickname is that of her weapon. In the English version, this would make her “Thunderbrand Catherine”.
- There is a joke option when asking about Catherine’s relic weapon.
- Edelgard doesn’t exactly say that nobody saw the Tragedy of Duscur coming, just that it was shocking/devastating.
- It is more clear that Edelgard pities the militia because Lonato is not strong enough to achieve their goal for them, not that Lonato lost his will to live.
- Catherine’s old name is Thunderjail Cassandra.
- Lonato calls Rhea a female fox, instead of a witch.
- Ferdinand doesn’t call Lonato a monster, just not worthy of being a noble.
- Edelgard says you must eliminate those with views of justice that conflict with your own, not that other people’s ideas of justice are unreasonable.
- Edelgard is more direct in that she will sacrifice lives when she becomes Emperor.
- Seteth uses a Japanese expression used when talking about mobilizing the students.

Opening
- アドラステアの南の海から、
温かい風が吹きつけるようになると、
フォドラの人々は雨期の到来を知る。 - 激しい雨に打たれて傷んでしまう前に、
娘たちは急いで白い薔薇で花冠を編み、
想い人や親しい間柄の者に贈るのである。
- When the warm winds from the sea south of Adrestia appear to blow, the people of Fodlan know the coming of the rainy season.
- Before they are battered and bruised by the harsh rain, young women hurriedly knit garlands of white roses and give them people such as loved ones or those they have a close relationship with.
- When the warm winds blow from the from the sea to the south of Adrestia, residents of Fodlan know that the rainy season is upon them.
- Before the heavy rains take their toll, the young women hurry to pick the last of the white roses. The ivory buds are woven into garlands and given as gifts to close friends or potential lovers.
Event: 反乱の報せ (Report of a Rebellion)
- レア: ベレト、あなたの学級に、
またお願いしたいことができました。 - セテス: 実はロナート卿が、我ら聖教会に対して
兵を挙げたとの知らせが入ってな。 - > 「ロナート卿とは？」
> 「なぜそんなことに？」
レア: ……ロナート卿は王国の小領主です。
かねてから教団に敵意を示していました。 - セテス: すでにセイロス騎士団の先遣隊が
彼の本拠、ガスパール城に向かっている。 - ロナート卿の兵力は僅かなものだ。
すぐに鎮圧されるだろう。 - レア: あなたたちは、後詰めの騎士たちと共に
事後処理を手伝ってもらえますか。 - セテス: とはいえ戦場では何が起こるかわからない。
万一のための装備は整えておくことだ。 - カトリーヌ: 失礼します。
レア様、アタシをお呼びだとか。 - レア: ベレト、彼女が
同行する騎士を率いるカトリーヌです。 - カトリーヌ: よろしくな。アンタの噂は聞いてるよ。
何かあったら、アタシらを頼ってくれ。 - レア: 彼女はセイロス騎士団の勇士ですが、
他の騎士たちも精鋭が揃っています。 - この課題で、主に刃を向ける愚かしさを
生徒たちも学ぶことができるでしょう……。
- Rhea: Byleth, I want to make another request to your class.
- Seteth: Truth is, I have just received news that Lord Lonato has raised troops against our Holy Church.
- > 「Who is Lord Lonato?」
> 「Why would he do that?」
Rhea: …Lord Lonato is a minor feudal lord of the Kingdom. He has been showing hostility to the church for quite some time. - Seteth: A vanguard from the Knights of Seiros is already heading to his stronghold, Castle Gaspard.
- The strength of Lord Lonato’s army is low. They should be put down before long.
- Rhea: Would you and the students help cleanup the aftermath with the rear guard of the knights?
- Seteth: Nonetheless, you never know whether something will come up on the battlefield. You should prepare your equipment just in case.
- Catherine: Excuse me. Lady Rhea, I heard you called for me?[1]Catherine refers to herself as atashi, which is standard casual feminine.
However, it is written in katakana unlike other girls who use it such as Bernadetta and Hilda. - Rhea: Byleth, she is Catherine, the one who will lead the knights accompanying you.
- Catherine: Nice to meet you. We’ve heard rumors about you. If something comes up, feel free to ask us.[2]Catherine refers to you super casually as “anta”.
This is also in katakana, which implies an emphasis of sorts. - Rhea: She is a brave soldier of the Knights of Seiros, but the other knights we have assembled are also elite.
- This assignment is primarily so that the students can learn the foolishness of raising blades against us…
- Rhea: Professor, I have a new mission for your students.
- Seteth: We have received reports that Lord Lonato has rallied troops against the Holy Church of Seiros.
- > 「Who is Lord Lonato?」
> 「Why would he do that?」
Rhea: Lord Lonato is a minor lord of the Kingdom. He has been showing hostility towards the church for some time now. - Seteth: A vanguard unit from the Knights of Seiros is already on its way to his stronghold, Castle Gaspard.
- Lord Lonato’s army is nothing compared to the knights. It’s quite possible the rebellion has already been suppressed.
- Rhea: Even so, I would like for your class to travel with the knights’ rear guard to deal with the aftermath.
- Seteth: War zones are unpredictable. We do not expect you will have cause to battle, but be prepared for the worst.
- Catherine: Excuse me. You sent for me, Lady Rhea?
- Rhea: This is Catherine. She will be leading the knights whom you will be accompanying.
- Catherine: Nice to meet you. We’ve heard a lot about you. If you need anything, just ask.
- Rhea: She is one of our bravest knights, and that is no small feat. Only an exceptional few have what it takes to join the Knights of Seiros.
- This mission should prove useful in demonstrating to the students how foolish it would be to ever turn their blades on the church…
Event: 五里霧中・黒鷲の学級 (Inside a Five League Fog)[3]里, or ri, is a measurement about 2.5 miles or 4km.
- ヒューベルト: “雷霆のカトリーヌ”殿のご同行とあらば、
どんな強敵が現れようとも安心ですな。 - > 「雷霆？」
> 「雷鳥？」
カトリーヌ: はん、知らないのか？
これが”雷霆”……英雄の遺産の一つだ。 - 遥か昔、女神より力を授かりし１０人の
英雄……その子孫に伝わる聖なる武具さ。 - つっても、今回は雷霆を振るう機会はない。
アタシらの任務は事後処理だからね。 - ヒューベルト: ですが、なぜロナート卿は
無謀な反乱を起こしたのでしょうね……？ - カトリーヌ: アンタら、「ダスカーの悲劇」は
知ってるな？ - > 「聞いたことはある」
> 「よく知らない」
エーデルガルト: 私はよく覚えています。
衝撃的な出来事でしたから。 - ４年前、ファーガス神聖王国の国王が
ダスカー人に殺された事件ですよね？ - カトリーヌ: まあ簡単に言えばそうだが、
王国内にも加担者がいたんだ。 - その一人がロナート卿の倅、クリストフで
彼は教団に突き出されて処刑されてる。 - > 「教団が罪人の処刑を？」
カトリーヌ: 教団からすりゃ、混乱する王国の代わりに、
教義に則って裁いたに過ぎんさ。 - > 「なぜ国王が狙われた？」
カトリーヌ: ランベール国王は大規模な政治改革を
行おうとしてたから、政敵も多かったのさ。 - カトリーヌ: ……事件の真相がどうあれ、それ以来、
ロナート卿は教団に恨みを抱いてんだろ。 - いや……正確に言うと恨んでるのは教団と、
教団にクリストフを突き出した…… - 教団兵: 報告！
敵が接近中です！ 避けられません！ - 敵の兵力が予想以上に多く、霧のせいで
騎士団の包囲をすり抜けてきます！ - カトリーヌ: おっと……ベレト、任務変更だ。
総員、戦闘準備にかかれッ！
- Hubert: If Miss “Thunderbolt Catherine” accompanies us, we should be safe no matter what strong enemy appears.
- > 「Thunderbolt?」
> 「Thunderbird?」
Catherine: Huh, you don’t know? This is “Thunderbolt”… one of the Hero’s Heirlooms.[4]Catherine’s nickname is tied to her relic weapon.
雷霆 is both lightning and thunder and can be translated as either, i.e. Lightning from FFXIII or the Oklahoma City Thunder. - A long time ago, 10 heroes were bestowed power from the goddess…Holy weapons that were handed down to their descendants.
- But anyways, there won’t have a chance to play around with Thunderbolt this time. Our mission is to do aftermath cleanup, after all.[5]Catherine appears to use Tokyo style slang.
- Hubert: Still, I wonder why Lord Lonato would raise such a reckless rebellion…?
- Catherine: Do you all known about the Tragedy of Duscur?
- > 「I’ve heard of it」
> 「I don’t know much about it」
Edelgard: I remember it well. It was a devastating incident, after all. - It was the incident four years ago where the king of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus was killed by the people of Duscur, was it not?
- Catherine: Simply put, yes, but there were also accomplices within the kingdom.
- One of them, Lord Lonato’s son Christophe, was handed over to the church and executed.
- > 「The Church executes criminals?」
Catherine: From the Church’s standpoint, they just pass judgement according to the teachings in place of the Kingdom, which is in chaos. - > 「Why was the king targeted?」
Catherine: King Lambert was trying to make large scale political reform, so he had many political opponents. - Catherine: …Whatever really happened in the incident, I guess Lord Lonato has held a grudge against the church since then.
- No… to be precise he holds a grudge against the church, as well as those who turned them over to the church.
- Church Soldier: Report! The enemy is approaching! We can’t avoid them!
- The enemy army’s strength is greater than expected, they slipped through the knight’s encirclement due to the fog!
- Catherine: Crap… Byleth, change of plans. All hands, prepare for battle!
- Hubert: No matter how powerful our enemies may be, there is no need to worry so long as we’re with Catherine, the mighty wielder of Thunderbrand.
- > 「Thunderbrand?」
> 「What are you talking about?」
Catherine: You mean you don’t know? My weapon is called Thunderbrand. It’s one of the Hero’s Relics. - A long, long time ago, the goddess bestowed divine weapons upon 10 heroes, which were passed down to their descendants.
- It’s an honor to wield, but I’m afraid there won’t be any chance for that today. Our mission is to help clean up the aftermath, not to fight.
- Hubert: One must wonder why Lord Lonato would incite such a reckless rebellion.
- Catherine: It all goes back to the Tragedy of Duscur…
- > 「I’ve heard of it.」
> 「I don’t know much about it.」
Edelgard: I remember that day well. No one saw it coming. - Roughly four years ago, the king of Faerghus was murdered by the people of Duscur. I believe that about sums it up, correct?
- Catherine: To put it simply, yes. But there’s more to that story. They had accomplices within the Kingdom as well.
- Lord Lonato’s son, Christophe, was one of them, and so he was handed over to the church for execution.
- > 「The church executes criminals?」
Catherine: Speaking from the church’s perspective, we simply passed judgement according to our doctrine in place of the Kingdom, which was in complete chaos. - > 「Why was the king targeted?」
Catherine: King Lambert was attempting a major political reform. Needless to say, he had many enemies. - Catherine: Whatever the truth behind that incident may be, Lord Lonato has harbored resentment to the church ever since.
- Well… To be more specific, his grudge isn’t only against the church. It’s also against the one who turned Christophe over to them…
- Church Soldier: Report! The enemy is approaching! They can’t be avoided.
- Their numbers are far greatly than we predicted. They used the fog to slip past the knights’ perimeter!
- Catherine: It looks like our mission just changed, Professor. Everyone, prepare for battle!
Battle: マグドレド奇襲戦 (The Magred Ambush Battle)
- > 戦闘開始時
- カトリーヌ: こう霧が濃くちゃ、どこにどれだけ
敵がいるんだか把握できないね。 - 霧の中から敵が……囲まれたか？
けど、厚く包囲できる兵力はないはずさ。 - 分散した敵を各個撃破して、
包囲を切り崩すよ！ - エーデルガルト: 血の匂い……。
霧の中で、もう戦闘が始まっているようね。 - > 1ターン目開始時
- カトリーヌ: みんな、不用意に突っ込むなよ！
視界に入った敵から確実に潰していくんだ！ - > vs 民兵(弓兵)
- 民兵: うおおお！
領主様を死なせてたまるかああ！ - > アッシュ出撃時
- アッシュ: まさか街のみんなまで戦場に……！？
ロナート様は、どうしてこんな……！ - > vs 民兵(戦士)
- 民兵: ロナート様の悲しみと怒り……
おらたちの手で張らすんだあ！ - > 民兵(兵士)撃破時
- 民兵: ロナート様……どうか、生き延びて……
おらたちの分まで……！ - エーデルガルト: 残念ね……おそらくロナート卿に、
彼らの思いに応えるだけの力はないわ。 - > vs ガスパール兵長
ガスパール兵長: ロナート様には近づかせぬ……！ - > ムービー「英雄の遺産」
- ロナート: カサンドラ……
雷獄のカサンドラ！
我が息子を裏切った狂信者め……！ - カトリーヌ: アタシの名はカトリーヌだ
女神の僕たるセイロス騎士団の剣、 - その身で味わいな！
- > ムービー終了後
- ロナート: 霧は晴れても、我が息子の無念は晴れぬ！
腐った中央教会に主の裁きを……！！ - > カトリーヌがロナートの近くに到達した時
- ロナート: 貴様だけは、貴様だけはこのわしが……！
- カトリーヌ: アンタは正義を、
すっかり見失っちまったんだな。 - せめてアタシの手で送ってやるよ。
主の身許へね……！ - > vs ロナート
- ロナート: お前もあの女狐に誑かされているのか……。
わしが真実を知らしめてやるしかない！ - > アッシュ vs ロナート
- ロナート:アッシュ……そこをどくのだ。
わしは悪鬼どもを討たねばならん！ 必ず！ - アッシュ: ロナート様……もうおやめください！
なぜ、こんな無謀な振る舞いを……！ - ロナート: レアは民を欺き、主を冒涜する背信の徒だ！
大義は我らにあり、主の加護も我らにある！ - アッシュ: だからって、こんなことは間違っています！
街の人たちまで動員するなんて！ - ロナート: ……ならば遠慮なく、刃をわしに向けよ！
わしはもう、後には引けぬのだ……！ - > ロナート撃破
- ロナート: あの、女狐、め……
ああ……クリストフ……父を、許せよ…… - > 戦闘勝利後
- > アッシュ出撃時
- アッシュ: ロナート様……
僕は……。 - カトリーヌ: ……ロナート卿との因縁、
こんな形で決着を見るとはな。 - みんなお疲れさん。
各自、兵をまとめておいてくれ。
- > Battle Start
- Catherine: This fog is thick, so we can’t gauge where and how many enemies there are.
- The enemies from inside the fog are… encircling us? They shouldn’t have enough soldiers to form a thick circle, though.
- Attack every enemy that breaks off and smash through the encirclement!
- Edelgard: The smell of blood… Looks like the battle has already begun inside the fog.
- > Turn 1 Start
- Catherine: Everyone, don’t rush in unprepared! Crush the enemy with precision after they enter your view!
- > vs Militia(Archer)
- Militia: Uwooo! Did you think we would just let our feudal lord die?!
- > Ashe Deployed On Militia Defeat
- Ashe: Even everyone from the town is on the battlefield… Lord Lonato, why would you do this…?!
- > vs Militia(Warrior)
- Militia: Lord Lonato’s sorrow and rage… by our hands, we’ll make you feel them!
- > Militia(Soldier) Defeated
- Militia: Lord Lonato… Please, live on… instead of us…!
- Edelgard: What a shame… For Lord Lonato, he most likely won’t even have the ability to fulfill their wish.
- > vs Gaspard Commander
Gaspard Commander: I won’t let you get closer to Lord Lonato…! - > Movie「The Hero’s Heirloom」
- Lonato: Cassandra… Thunderjail Cassandra! The cursed zealot who betrayed my son…![6]Catherine’s old name is a combination of 雷(thunder/lightning) and 獄 (jail/prison).
- Catherine: My name is Catherine. The sword of the Knights of Seiros who serves the Goddess,
- you will taste it!
- > After the Movie
- Lonato: Though the fog clears, the regret of my son does not! May the Lord’s judgement (fall) upon the church rotten to the core…!!
- > Catherine approaches Lonato
- Lonato: Only you, if I (kill) only you…!
- Catherine: So you have completely lost sight of justice.
- At least I will be the one to send you back. Back to meet your maker…!
- > vs Lonato
- Lonato: So you are being deceived by that she-fox as well…? I have no choice but to make you see the truth!
- > Ashe vs Lonato
- Lonato: Ashe… You will step aside. I must kill these demons. Without fail!
- Ashe: Lord Lonato… please stop this already! Why are you behaving so recklessly…?!
- Lonato: Rhea is an infidel who deceives everyone and blasphemes the Lord! Justice is with us, and the Lord’s divine protection is with us!
- Ashe: Even so, doing it like this is wrong! You even went so far as to mobilize the townsfolk!
- Lonato: …If that’s what you truly feel, then turn your blade on me! There is no going back for me anymore…!
- > Lonato Defeated
- Lonato: That… damned, she-fox… Ah… Christophe… Forgive, your father…
- > After Battle Victory
- > Ashe Deployed
- Ashe: Lord Lonato… I’m…
- Catherine: …I never thought I’d see Lord Lonato meet his fate in this form.
- Good job, everyone. Gather up our each of your soldiers and get ready.
- > Battle Start
- Catherine: With this fog, it’s impossible to tell where the enemy might be…or how many of them there are.
- The enemy could be trying to surround us, but they shouldn’t have enough soldiers to form a tight circle.
- Take down anyone who breaks through the dog, and let’s push through!
- Edelgard: That smell… It’s fresh blood. It seems the battle has already started within the fog.
- > Turn 1 Start
- Catherine: Proceed with caution! Wait for them to enter your field of view.
- > vs Militia(Archer)
- Militia: You would think we’re just gonna do nothing while you try to kill our lord?!
- > Ashe Deployed On Militia Defeat
- Ashe: Why, Lonato? Why did you drag so many others into this?
- > vs Militia(Warrior)
- Militia: Lord Lonato doesn’t deserve such sadness and anger… Now it’s your turn to suffer!
- > Militia(Soldier) Defeated
- Militia: Lord Lonato… Please, don’t die…
- Edelgard: I’m sorry, but I don’t believe Lord Lonato has the strength to carry on.
- > vs Gaspard Commander
Gaspard Commander: I won’t let you anywhere near Lord Lonato! - > Movie「Hero’s Relic」
- Lonato: Thunderstrike Cassandra! It was your wretched zealotry that killed my son!
- Catherine: The only name I answer to is Catherine. Prepare to taste the blade of one who serves the goddess.
- Now you face a Knight of Seiros!
- > After the Movie
- Lonato: The fog has cleared. There’s nothing left to hide you or the filthy Central Church from the judgement of the goddess!
- > Catherine approaches Lonato
- Lonato: You! I will be the one to kill you, no other!
- Catherine: You have lost all sense of justice.
- You want to fight me? So be it. I’ll send you to meet your goddess.
- > vs Lonato
- Lonato: You have been deceived by that witch… I will show you the truth!
- > Ashe vs Lonato
- Lonato: Stand down, Ashe. I must destroy these evil-doers by any means necessary!
- Ashe: Please surrender, Lonato! Whatever your reason for doing this, we can still talk it out!
- Lonato: Rhea is an infidel who has deceived the people and desecrated the goddess! We have virtue and the goddess herself on our side!
- Ashe: Even if all that’s true, dragging the townsfolk into it like this isn’t right!
- Lonato: Enough. If that is how you feel, prepare yourself! I’m putting an end to this!
- > Lonato Defeated
- Lonato: That vile woman… Christophe… Forgive me…
- > After Battle Victory
- > Ashe Deployed
- Ashe: Lonato, I…
- Catherine: I never thought I’d see Lonato meet this fate.
- Well done, everyone. Let’s gather our troops and go.
Event: 戦いを知る・黒鷲の学級 (To Know War – Black Eagles)
- カスパル: クソッ……何のためにこんな……。
泣いてる人だってあんなにいたってのに！ - フェルディナント: 罪なき民に命を賭させるとは……
貴族に相応しくない男だったな。 - ヒューベルト: ロナート卿をここまで駆り立てたものは、
果たして何だったのか……。 - エーデルガルト: ……敵方に民兵がいたことで、
皆、少し動揺しているようね。 - > 「仕方がない」
> 「これが現実だ」
エーデルガルト: ええ。皆、この現実を直視できると
いいのだけれど。 - ロナートに味方した民は
彼らなりの正義のために戦っていた。 - だから彼らを単なる犠牲者のように
扱うのは、私は間違っていると思うわ。 - 私たちは相容れない正義を持つ相手を、
排除して進んでいくしかないのよ。 - その相手が、たとえ神のような
存在であったとしても……。 - > 「それは流石に……」
エーデルガルト:師 にも、そんな時が来るかもしれない。
その覚悟をしておいたほうがいいわね。 - > 「そうだろう」
エーデルガルト: あら、教師がそんなことを言っていいの？
驚いたわね。 - エーデルガルト: 私は、きっとロナート卿と同じ。己の正義の
ために民に命を賭けさせる皇帝になる。 - そうしなければ大事は成せないし、
その民たちの死は、無駄にはしない……。 - カトリーヌ: 話してるとこ悪い。
……今回の事件、意外に根が深いかもな。 - ロナート卿の所持品に、こんな物があった。
……レア様の暗殺を示唆する書簡だ。 - 差出人はわからんし、信憑性も疑わしいが
捨て置くには内容が不穏すぎるだろ？ - 帰ってレア様に報告だ。
何事もなきゃいいがね……。
- Caspar: Shit… What was that all for…? It even got to the point where people were crying!
- Ferdinand: Putting innocent people’s lives at risk… he was not a man who was worthy of nobility.
- Hubert: What could have actually impelled Lord Lonato to this?
- Edelgard: …It seems everyone is a bit shaken from the militia being on the enemy side.
- > 「There was nothing we could do」
> 「This is reality」
Edelgard: Yes. It would be nice if everyone was able to face reality, though. - The people who supported Lonato fought for what they thought was justice.
- That’s why I believe it is wrong to simply treat them like they were victims.
- We must continue to eliminate our opponents who hold conflicting views of justice.
- Even if those enemies are like gods themselves…
- > 「Be that as it may…[7]Byleth says “Sasuga ni”, which is hard to translate.
It basically means “as expected” when you agree, but can also mean “nevertheless” when you disagree.」
Edelgard: Master, that time may also come for you. You should prepare for that. - > 「I agree」
Edelgard: My, is it okay for a teacher to say things like that? You surprised me. - Edelgard: I am definitely the same as Lord Lonato. For my own justice, I will become an emperor who risks other people’s lives.
- Without doing so, one cannot accomplish great things, and so those people’s deaths will not be in vain…
- Catherine: Sorry to interrupt. …The roots of this incident may be unexpectedly deep.
- In Lord Lonato’s personal belongings, he had this. …A note hinting the assassination of Lady Rhea.
- The sender is unknown and the authenticity is suspect, but aren’t the contents are too disturbing to ignore?
- We’ll return and report to Lady Rhea. I hope nothing happens…
- Caspar: Damn it! It was all so pointless. I’ve never seen so many people utterly heartbroken…
- Ferdinand: Forcing innocent citizens to risk their lives… That man was not a noble, but a monster.
- Hubert: What could have pushed Lord Lonato to this point?
- Edelgard: Everyone was a bit shaken by the militia fighting alongside our enemies.
- > 「No used dwelling on it.」
> 「That is the reality of battle.」
Edelgard: If only everyone could face reality so unflinchingly. - The commoners who allied themselves with Lord Lonato believed they were fighting for a just cause.
- It would be disrespectful to consider them simply victims when they died for what they believed in.
- Still, we have no choice but to eliminate those who cling to unreasonable ideas of justice.
- Even if our enemies are the gods themselves…we must never lose sight of our goal.
- > 「That’s taking it a bit far.」
Edelgard: Is it? Such a day may come, whether you expect it or not. You should be ready. - > 「I agree」
Edelgard: I’m surprised to hear you say that. - Edelgard: Really, I’m just like Lonato. I, too, will be the sort of ruler who’s willing to risk the lives of my citizens in service of a higher cause.
- It’s not possible to change the world without sacrifice. Dying for the greater good is not a death in vain.
- Catherine: Professor… I’m afraid this incident is far more serious than anticipated.
- I found this on Lord Lonato. It’s a note that mentions a plan to assassinate Lady Rhea.
- We can’t tell who sent it, so the source is suspect, but the content is too disturbing to ignore.
- We must report this to Lady Rhea right away. I hope that it’s nothing…
Event: 報告・花冠の節 (Report – Garland Moon)
- レア: よく無事に戻りました。
これも、主のご加護の賜物……。 - いえ、加護だけではないのでしょう。
あなたは、私が期待したとおりの逸材です。 - > 「生徒たちの力だ」
レア: そうでしょうか。 - > 「まだまだ未熟だ」
レア: そう謙遜する必要はありませんよ。 - レア: 生徒の中には民兵と戦うのを
躊躇した者もいたようですね。 - 民と言えど、他の信徒に危害を加えかねない
罪深き者には、罰を下さねばなりません。 - 愚かにも天に刃を向けた者の末路……
生徒たちも理解できたことでしょう。 - セテス: さて、問題はカトリーヌから報告のあった
ロナート卿の密書の件だ。 - 密書には、女神再誕の儀に合わせて大司教を
襲うという許しがたい計画が記されていた。 - 実現性の乏しい計画だとは思うが……、
警戒を万全にしておくことに越したことはない。 - そこで儀式当日には、生徒諸君にも
警備に協力してもらいたいと考えている。 - > 「全力で取り組む」
> 「最善を尽くす」
レア: 心強い言葉、感謝します。 - > 「生徒たちに危険が及ぶのでは」
レア: 生徒の手に余る敵が現れても、
あなたが共にあれば大丈夫でしょう。 - セテス: 再誕の儀は、セイロス教の主たる
女神の降臨を願う、非常に重要な儀式だ。 - 大司教や私は、儀式が始まれば
女神の塔に籠り切りになるだろう。 - 無論、騎士団にも警戒態勢で臨ませるが、
隅々目を光らせるには人手が不足している。 - 生徒まで動員するのは本意ではないが、
背に腹は代えられないというわけだ。 - レア: 私の身は案ずるに及びませんが、信仰を
冒涜する輩を看過することはできません。 - セテス: 何も起こらなければ、それでいい。
ただし緊張感を持って望んでくれ。以上だ。
- Rhea: You returned nice and safely. This too much be the Lord’s divine protection…
- No, it can’t be only divine protection. You are, as I expected, exceptionally talented.
- > 「It was the student’s strength」
Rhea: Was it, now? - > 「I’m still inexperienced」
Rhea: There is no need to be so modest. - Rhea: It appears there are those among the students who hesitated to fight the militia.
- Even if they are militia, you mush punish those who could do harm to the other believers.
- The final fate of those foolish enough to turn their blades at the heavens… that must also be understood by the students, right?
- Seteth: Now then, the problem is the matter of the secret message in the report from Catherine.
- In the secret message, an unforgivable plot to attack the Archbishop at the same time as the Goddess Rebirth Ceremony was written.
- I think the plot lacks feasibility, but… it is better to make sure and be vigilant.
- There, on the day of the ceremony, I’m thinking that I want you and the students to also cooperate on security.
- > 「We will tackle this with all our strength」
> 「We will put forth our best effort」
Rhea: I thank you for the reassuring words. - > 「Danger befalling the students is…」
Rhea: Even if you encounter an enemy stronger than the students, you should be okay if you are together with them. - Seteth: The Rebirth Ceremony is is a very important ceremony for the wish for the main Goddess of the Church of Seiros to descend.
- When the Archbishop and I commence the ceremony, we will be bound within the Goddess Tower.
- Of course, the knights will also be on emergency lookout, but
we lack the manpower to keep an eye out on every corner. - It was not my intention to mobilize the students, but they say the back cannot replace the stomach.[8]This is a Japanese saying that means “sometimes sacrifices must be made”.
This saying comes from choosing to protect your front or back when attacked.
Protecting your stomach will get you struck in the back, which is bad.
However, protecting your back will get you struck in the stomach, which is worse. - Rhea: You do not need to be worried about something happening to me, but we cannot turn a blind eye to those who desecrate our faith.
- Seteth: It would be good if nothing happens. Still, I hope you keep the sense of tension. That is all.
- Rhea: I am glad to see that you have returned safely. The goddess is gracious with her divine protection.
- But it was not only her divine protection that shielded you, was it? You are just as skilled as I had hoped.
- > 「My students deserve the praise.」
Rhea: I am not so sure. - > 「I still have much to learn.」
Rhea: There is no need for modesty. - Rhea: I heard some of the students were…hesitant about fighting militia.
- However, we must punish any sinner who may inflict harm upon believers, even if those sinners are civilians.
- I pray the students learned a valuable lesson about the fate that awaits all who are foolish enough to point their blades towards the heavens.
- Seteth: Our real concern is what Catherine reported. The secret message that was in Lord Lonato’s possession.
- It contained a deplorable plot to target the archbishop on the day of the Goddess’s Rite of Rebirth.
- The plan seems unrealistic at best… But a threat is a threat. We must maintain constant vigilance.
- To that end, I would like for you and your students to help with security on the day of the ritual.
- > 「You can count on us.」
> 「We won’t let her down.」
Rhea: That is most reassuring. You have my gratitude. - > 「Won’t that endanger the students?」
Rhea: Even if they encounter an enemy whom they cannot best, they should be fine so long as they have you on their side. - Seteth: The Rite of Rebirth is of paramount importance. It is when the Church of Seiros and its believers unite to pray for the return of the goddess.
- The archbishop and I will be confined to the Goddess Tower once the ritual begins.
- Of course, the knights will be on high alert as well, but there aren’t enough of them to keep watch on every corner of the monastery.
- It is far from ideal to be forced to mobilize students, but the gravity of this situation requires that we all bend to avoid breaking.
- Rhea: While there is no need to fear for my safety, we cannot turn a blind eye to those who would blaspheme so heinously.
- Seteth: With any luck, this will all be for naught. Still, be on your guard.
Notes
| ↑1 | Catherine refers to herself as atashi, which is standard casual feminine. However, it is written in katakana unlike other girls who use it such as Bernadetta and Hilda. |
|---|---|
| ↑2 | Catherine refers to you super casually as “anta”. This is also in katakana, which implies an emphasis of sorts. |
| ↑3 | 里, or ri, is a measurement about 2.5 miles or 4km. |
| ↑4 | Catherine’s nickname is tied to her relic weapon. 雷霆 is both lightning and thunder and can be translated as either, i.e. Lightning from FFXIII or the Oklahoma City Thunder. |
| ↑5 | Catherine appears to use Tokyo style slang. |
| ↑6 | Catherine’s old name is a combination of 雷(thunder/lightning) and 獄 (jail/prison). |
| ↑7 | Byleth says “Sasuga ni”, which is hard to translate. It basically means “as expected” when you agree, but can also mean “nevertheless” when you disagree. |
| ↑8 | This is a Japanese saying that means “sometimes sacrifices must be made”. This saying comes from choosing to protect your front or back when attacked. Protecting your stomach will get you struck in the back, which is bad. However, protecting your back will get you struck in the stomach, which is worse. |
