Nowoaaru…… Towoaaru…… Yes, this gives just the right feeling.
Ah, it's Chuuya-kun. You're all beaten up…… Did you lose a fight in a drunken rampage again?

のをあある……とをあある……うん、この感じがぴったりかな……
あ、中也くんだ。傷だらけだね……また酔った勢いで喧嘩して負けちゃったの？

...Oh, it's you. You sure seem unusually cheerful today.

……なんだアンタか、珍しくご機嫌だな？

It's because I got to write a great poem last night.

昨日の晩はいい詩が書けたから

Keh... I'm in a shitty mood. Don't talk to me!

ケッ……オレは虫の居所が悪いんだ。話しかけんじゃねー

Hmm, you're quite the awkward one, aren't you? Like a child hiding a dagger in your chest.
Your compulsive obsession with isolating yourself makes you that way.

うーん、本当に君は不器用だねぇ。懐（ふところ）に短刀を入れてる子供だよ
君の、人とうまく関われない孤独な強迫観念がそうさせているんだね

...Shut up! Man, going all overboard just because you're on a roll.

……うるっせーよ、機嫌がいいからって調子乗りやがって

See, just like that, you're being a grouch again.
You should hurry and find someone who gets along with you - that illness of yours can't be cured with sake, you know.

またそうやって不平を言っちゃって
早く気の合う仲間を見つけなよ、君のその病気はお酒じゃ治らないんだからさ

I really don't wanna hear that from someone who goes on about loneliness, loneliness, year in and year out...

年がら年中、孤独孤独いっているアンタに言われたくねーよ……

...Uwaaah!

……うわああっ！

Ah! Saku-san, are you okay?
The footing is quite bad around here so you gotta be careful!

あっ！朔さん、大丈夫？
この辺りは足場が悪いから危ないよ

Uugh, owie. I tripped again...
...Oh, what kind of rock is this... So pretty...

うう、痛い。また躓いちゃった……
……あれ、なんだろうこの石……綺麗……

Oh, Saku-san! That's raw amber ore!

あ、朔さん！これ琥珀の原石だよ！

Amber...? This rock?

琥珀……？この石が？

You can't guess wrong with this color!
Ah, amber isn't actually rock, by the way. It's formed from fossilized tree resin.

この色、間違いないよ！
あ、ちなみに琥珀は石じゃないんだよ、木の樹脂が化石になったものなんだ

I see... You really do love your gemstones, Kenji-kun...

そうなんだ……さすが石好きの賢治くん……

Fufu, people even dubbed me Rocking Ken-san!
Oh yeah Saku-san, there might be some others fallen around here, so can I go look for them a bit?

ふふ、石っこ賢さんって呼ばれていたくらいだからね！
ねえ朔さん、他にも落ちているだろうから、ちょっと探してみてもいい？

Of course, amber itself is quite poetic and lovely, so we can't help but seek it out...
I'll also give you a hand, myself... Uwaaaah!

もちろんだよ、琥珀なんて詩的で素敵なもの、見つけるしかないよね……
自分も手伝うよ……うわああああっ

Awawah, Saku-san, watch your step!

あわわ、朔さん、気をつけて！

Hakushuu-sensei! I wrote a new poem...

白秋先生！詩を書いてきました……

Hello Sakutarou, you've come again.
...Hmm, isn't this pretty good?

やあ朔太郎くん、また来たね
……ふむ、なかなかいいんじゃないのかい？

What, but there isn't enough rhythm!
Just using classical grammar, I cannot perfect the poetry I long to write...!

ええ、でも、リズムが足りないんです
文語詩だけじゃ、自分の求める詩は完成しない……！

Your near-vindictiveness when it comes to poetry is of great interest to me, however it also worries me a bit.
To pursue your ideal so, how far would you have to push before you're satisfied?

朔太郎くんのその詩に対する執念深さは興味深いが、少し心配だよ
そうやって自分を追い込んで、何処までやれば気が済むんだい

Everyone always tells me that...
But, above all, I just cannot give up on the poetry I long to write.

みんなそう言います……
でも、その先に自分の求める詩がある限り、諦めきれないんです

Such are the words of a person who is said to be born a poet.

さすがは、生まれながらの詩人といったところだね

That's because unlike you, I can't write songs or haikus, and can only write poetry...

自分は歌も俳句もできる白秋先生と違って、詩しか作れませんから……

Ha, that is only possible because of my particular potential.
It is nothing to be afflicted over.

フッ、それは僕の才能だからこそ可能なのだよ
気に病む事は無いさ

The things the famed "word magician" says sure are on a different level...

さすが、言葉の魔術師と呼ばれる人の言う事は違いますね……

Anyway, you have been blessed with poetic genius, and that is what I believe from the bottom of my heart.
I truly look forward to what kind of poems you compose once you've arrived at your ideals.

でも朔太郎くんは詩の才能に恵まれている、これは本心だよ
その理想に到達した時に朔太郎くんがどんな詩を作るか、楽しみだね

...Hakushuu-sensei! *Sobs* I feel like I'll be able to write good poetry today...!

……白秋先生！うう、今日はいい詩が書けそうです……！

*Sob sob*, Sai...

ぐすぐす、犀……

Wh-what's wrong, Saku...!
Oi, who the hell made Saku cry! I won't forgive them!

ど、どうした朔……！
おい、誰だ朔を泣かした奴は！許さん！

*Sob* No, just now, I tripped and fell over my own sandal string over there...

ぐす、ううん、さっきそこで自分の靴の紐を踏んづけて、転んじゃったんだ……

Again?! That was quite the fall, wasn't it!
Why are you such a klutz or whatever... What in the world is it about you...?

またか！これはまた盛大にこけたな！
どうしてお前はそうドジというかなんというか……なんなんだろうな……？

I know, I know... No matter how many times I went back to school, I always dropped out...
I couldn't even become a doctor, on top of that, I can't even work like a normal person.
No matter what it is, I screw it all up, I'm such an epic failure of a human being... *Sob*, *sniffle*.

わかってるよ……自分は何度学校に行っても退学ばっかりだし
医者にもなれないどころかまともに働けもしない
何をしても上手くできない超絶駄目人間なんだって……ぐす、へぐ

Hey, cheer up! Even if you can't do anything else, at least you've got poetry!

まあ元気出せって！何も出来なくても、お前には詩があるじゃないか

*Sniffle*... You really think so?

うう……本当にそう思う？

The first time I saw your poems, they really made me think that someone like me was here too!
...To make poetry that can shake someone to their core, is truly an amazing feat.

初めてお前の詩を見た時、ああ俺がここにもいるって思ったんだぞ
……そこまで人を揺さぶる詩を作る、それって本当にすごい事だからな

*Sob*... Sai...! Aughh I love you! I'm so glad I was born!

うう……犀……！わああん大好きーー！生まれてきてよかったーー！

Yeah, yeah. Jeez, going from crying to appreciating, you sure make yourself busy.

わかったわかった、全く泣いたり喜んだり忙しい奴だな……

...*stare*

……ジッ

...What is it, Sakutarou-san?
Got something to say?

……なんですか、朔太郎さん
何か言いたい事でも？

Something to say? I've got plenty!
In the first place, poetry isn't some secret or abstract symbol, it's taking a hold of emotional sensitivity! You don't understand that!

言いたい事？そんなのたくさんあるよ！
そもそも詩は神秘でも象徴でもない、詩とは感情の神経を掴んだもの！君はそれが分かってない！

Wow, that escalated quickly! What's your beef with me!?

う、いきなり過激ですね！私に何の恨みがあるというのですか！

Well obviously, it's a grudge built over many years!
Because your poems are just sooo classical, they have no charm in the slightest!

そりゃあもう、積年の恨みがね
だって君の詩はあまりに古典的すぎて、魅力がなさすぎるんだもの！

That's mean. Even if it's not perfect, you shouldn't talk to your senior who built an entire era that way, you know!
You're from the Kitahara Clan, so I'm not surprised you think that way, but...
...Even taking that into consideration, you're just being too horrible.

ひどい。曲がりなりにも一時代を築いた先輩にその言い方はないんじゃないですか！
君は北原の一派ですから、そう思うのも無理はないですが
……それにしたってひどすぎます

I don't want to hear any excuses!
All the things you say are just word games meant to keep form!

言い訳なんか聞きたくないよ！
君の云う事なんて、みんな形ばかり繕った言葉遊びなんだから！

Sigh... All this person can talk about is his one-sided grudge.
Can't he say anything constructive...?

はあ……この人は一方的な恨み言ばかり
建設的な話はできないんですか……

"Those who journey pack up their belongings and pull a horse along.
All of this will not darken the sky over an open field on a cold day."
...How was that?

往く者は荷物を積みて馬を曳き
このすべて寒き日の平野の空は暮れんとす。
……どう？

That was amazing, Saku-sensei!
A masterpiece of masterpieces! The finest of works!

素晴らしいッス朔先生！
傑作中の傑作ッス！白眉（はくび）ッス！

Really? Do you really think so?

本当？本当にそう思う？

Yes! But this poem here is a failure! It gives off an unnatural feeling!
Saku-sensei, you can definitely put more of your loner's heart in here! Please make it even more twisted!

はい！でもこっちの詩は駄作ッス！不自然な印象ッス！
朔先生にはもっと孤独の心があるでしょう！もっと病んでください！

Whaaat... You're so mean, Miyoshi-kun... Even Hakushuu-sensei wouldn't say something that mean!

ええ……酷いよ三好くん……白秋先生でもそんな酷い事は言わないよ！

You cannot depend on the words of a person stuck in the past who writes such old-fashioned poetry!
At this rate, your true worth will never manifest itself, Saku-sensei! I am saying this for your sake, Saku-sensei!

あんな古い詩を書く過去の人の言う事なんて信用してはだめッス！
このままでは朔先生の真価は発揮されないんスよ！俺は朔先生の為を思って言っているんス！
