Conversation

 

Well, if it isn't Houmei-sensei. It's me!

おう、泡鳴先生じゃあないですか。俺ですよ

Wait, would you be... Ibuse Masuji?

おまえ、もしかして、井伏鱒二……か？

Haha, I'm amazed you could figure it out with me in this getup.

ははっ、この風体（ふうてい）でよくお察しになりましたね

Hehe, seems my divine sixth sense is putting in some work!
Ah, don't bother with speaking formally to me, I'm the type who doesn't care about that kinda stuff.

へへっ、オレの神がかりの第六感が働いたみたいだな！
あ、敬語とかいいよ、オレそんなの気にしねー主義だから

I see, got it. ...Brings me back to the days when you first met with me.
You were already a big name in the field but you were like, "This is just the start for someone like me," man.
That time when I was just some chump change, I was impressed by how great of a person you were.

そうか、承知した。……思い出すな、俺に会ってくれた当時のアンタは
既に大先生だったのに「オレなんかこれからだ」って言ってたんだぜ
当時、ただの小僧だった俺は、なんてエライ人だと感動しちまったよ

Eh, is that how it went? I don't remember at all.

えーそうだっけ。全然覚えてねーや

I see, well that's just like you anyway, Houmei-sensei.
Anyway, I'm relieved to see you haven't changed a bit.

そうか、それはそれで泡鳴先生らしいなあ
ともかく、全く変わっていないようで一安心だ

Wherever I may be or whatever I may be doing, I'm still gonna be me, you know.
Masuji, you being here too means that we are fighting together on equal grounds, right?
Just call me Houmei! I'll be counting on you from now on, too!

どこにいようが何をしようが、オレはオレだからな
鱒二もここにいるってことは、一緒に戦う対等な仲間ってことだろ？
オレのことは「泡鳴」って呼んでくれ、これからよろしくな！

Haha, that's what I should be saying!
As long as you're here, Houmei, I bet I'll never get bored again!

ははっ、それはこっちの台詞だ！
泡鳴がいればこの先、絶対に退屈しないだろうしな！
