P85
ガラミィ…
Garami...

こんな山奥に武器の買い手がいるっていうの？
Are you telling me there's a buyer this deep in the mountains?

まあな…
Pretty much...

本当かな…
Really...?

見えてきたぞソーナ…
You can see it now, Souna...

P86
あれが目的の場所…
That's our destination...

ナキロの砦跡…
The Nakiro fortress ruins.


P87
Stigma3:廃砦にて
At the Abandoned Fortress.

P88
今から２０年ほど前東部の領主達が水源となる山地の権利を巡って激しく争った…
About 20 years ago, the eastern lords were fighting fiercely over control of the land that was the source of a river...

知っているか？
Do you know of it?

聞いたことある…“水源戦争”…
I've heard of it..."The River Source War"...

その最大の激戦地となったのがたしか…ナキロ山の砦…
The place where the harshest battles took place was...Nakiro fortress...


P89
わずか２００人のグレタ兵が３千人のバルザール軍に包囲されて100日に渡って籠城して…
A mere 200 Gretan soldiers were surrounded and besieged by a Balzaan army of 3000...

そして全滅したって…ここがそのナキロの砦？
And were massacred...So this is the Nakiro fortress?

ねえさっきからすごい匂いがしない？何か腐ってるみたいな…
Hey, doesn't it smell weird? It's like something's rotten...

ねぇ
Hey.

ガラミィ？
Garami?

…黒い旗！
...A black flag!

これって武器商人を呼ぶ“呼び旗”じゃ…？
Isn't this the arms peddlers "calling flag"...?

違うグレタの軍旗だ正式なものじゃないがな…
No, it's not the official one, but it's the Gretan battle flag...

敵に包囲された時…
When they were surrounded...

P90
砦を指揮するエルネス・クラン将軍は命じたそうだ…
The commander of the fortress, General Elness Klan, gave the order to...

「砦の全ての旗を黒く染めろ！！誰も白旗を上げられぬように…」
[Paint all the flags in the fortress black!! So that no one can raise a white flag...]

全ての旗を…黒く…
All the flags...black...

この取引の依頼主は“武器商人ギルド”だ
The client of this deal is "The Weapon Dealers Guild."


P91
ギルドは毎年この季節にある荷をこの砦に届ける習わしになっている
It's the guilds custom to bring a certain item to this fortress every year.

普通はこの地方専門に巡回する行商人が請け負うが今年はある事情からフリーの私が仕事が回された…
Normally they'd send someone who specializes in the area but due to certain circumstances, it got passed to me this year...

あれ事情？
Circumstances?

既に３人ギルド所属の行商人がこの砦で殺されている…
3 of the guilds peddlers have already been killed in this fortress...

殺された…？
Killed...?


P92
ど…どうしたの？ガラミィ！！
Wh...what's wrong, Garami!?

狙撃だ
A sniper.

え？
Eh?

そ…狙撃？
S...Sniper?


P93
どこから撃ってるの？
Where are they shooting from?

頭を出すな撃たれる
Keep your head down or you'll get shot.

距離はおよそ１００メルテ　中庭をはさんで反対側の建物だ
They're about 100 melts away. In the building on the other side of the inner garden.


P94
大したものだな！フェイントも見抜けぬ腕でこれまで３人を殺せたか！
You must be something! Killing 3 people even though you can't even see through a feint!

いい銃だろう！？お前が殺した行商人　エマーソンの売り荷だ！
That's a nice gun right!? That merchandise belonged to Emerson, one of the peddlers you killed!


P95
先文明の遺物にギルドの名匠ゲンゾが自らハンマーと振るった逸品だ！
That's a rare relic, taken from the ruins of a previous culture and hammered by the guild's master craftsman Genzo.

お前には過ぎた代物だ！バルザールの金持ちに持ち込めばダール金貨５０枚にはなるだろうよ！
That item is too much for you! It could easily go for 50 gold pieces if brought to a rich Balzaan.


黙れッ！バルザールだと！？薄汚い死の商人が！
Shut up! Balzaal, you say!? Damn merchant of death!

P96
やはりグレタ人か…
So he really is a Gretan...

俺の名はスネブ・クラン！
My name is Sneb Klan!

この砦で討ち死にした　エルネス・クラン将軍こそが俺の父だ！！
The general, Elness Klan, who died in this fortress is my father!!

P97
あの日　籠城していた俺の父は無念の涙を流した！
That day my father, who was holding the fortress, shed tears of regret!

バルサール司令官をほんの３００メルテ先に見ながら一発の弾丸も無かったのだ！
A Balzaan commanding officer was just 300 melts away, but they didn't have a single bullet!

P98
弾薬補給を請け負った武器商人ギルドはついに約束の品を届けなかった！
The Weapon Dealers Guild that was commissioned to provide ammunition did not deliver!

大国バルザールに媚びへつらい父との契約を反故にしたのだ！
Wanting favor with Balzaal, they broke their contract with my father!

俺は反逆者の息子として長くバルザールの虜囚だったが…
Since then, I've been Balzaal's captive. But now...

ついにここに来た！
I've finally made it here!

父の無念を晴らすためにな！
All so I can clear my father's regret!

あっ！！
Ah!!


P99
ガラミィ!!撃たれるよ！
Garami!! You'll be shot!

あの日　砦からわずか５カルメルにギルドの輸送部隊が来ていたことを知っているか？
Did you know that on that day, one of the guilds transport units was only 5 kalmels away from the fortress?

その時ギルドの輸送部隊はバルザールの包囲網を突破すべく
Did you know that that day, the transport unit...

必死の戦いを繰り広げていたことを知っているか？
Fought desperately to break through the Balzaan siege?

P100
武器行商人の“呼び旗”はかつては青かった…
The weapons peddlers "calling flag" used to be blue...

それがなぜ今は黒い色だと思う？
Why do you think it's black now?

ナキロの旗にならったためだ！
Because they've learned from Nakiro's flag!


P101
契約を果たせず砦が落ちるに任せた屈辱をひとりひとりが忘れぬがためだ！
So that they would never forget the humiliation of not completing their contract and letting the fortress fall!

P102
それ以来　ギルドは毎年ここに人間を派遣している…
Ever since, the guild has send people here every year...

エルネス・クラン将軍の魂に鎮魂の品を届けるために…
To deliver something that would appease general Elness Klan's soul...

あの日彼が何よりも欲しかったであろう品を…
The item that he wanted the most that day...

たった一発の弾丸を届けるためだ
Just to deliver one bullet.

戦争が終わってから２０年間…
It's been 20 years since the war ended...

ギルドは毎年…
But every year the guild...


P103
“武器商人ギルド”は決してこのことを外部には明かさない…
"The Weapon Dealers Guild" would never let the public know of this...

ギルドのメンバーだけが胸に秘めることだからだ…
Because only the members of the guild keep it in their hearts...

もうひとつ
One more thing.

将軍の息子　スネブという男は既に死んでいる！
The generals son, Sneb is already dead!

何！？
What!?

スネブ・クランは流行り病で死んだ１年ほど前だそうだ
It seems Sneb Klan died about a year ago due to a prevailing disease.

それが３か月ほど前遺骨が墓地から掘り返された…
But his corpse was dug up around 3 months ago...

ふざけるな！！
Don't fuck with me!!

俺はここにこうして生きているぞ！
I'm right here, still living!

P104
現場には“反魂術”を施した形跡があった…
There are traces of an "anti-soul spell" being cast here...

武器商人ギルドに敵対する“屍霊術師”のサインとともに…
Along with the weapon dealer guilds enemy, the "Necromancers" symbol...

水を飲んで喉が潤うか？
Does your throat feel moist when you drink water?

パンをかじって味がするか？
Do you taste the bread when you bite it?

何よりも！　この廃砦に漂うこの腐臭をお前は嗅いでいるか！？
And above all else! Do you smell the stench that drifts around this fortress!?

お前自身が放っている死の匂いを！
The smell of death you yourself are giving off!

P105
それが屍霊術師だ
That's necromancy.

お前は残留思念に動かされるただの影…
You're just a shadow moved by left over thoughts...

スネブという男の本当の霊魂は
You do not have Sneb's...

お前の中には無い…
Real soul inside you...

P106
殺せ…
Kill me...

死人とはいえ俺は武士の息子だ…
Even if I am dead, I'm still the son of a warrior...

間違いを犯した罪から逃れる気はない…
I have no intention of running from my crimes...

これは…？
What is this...?

ナキロ砦に駐留したグレタ守備兵が装備した湾刀だ
It's the machete that the Gretan guards stationed here use.

お前に引き渡すよう依頼された
I was asked to deliver it to you.

依頼主は“武器商人ギルド”東方支部長ゲンゾ！　旧友の息子に武人らしい最期をと！
The client, Weapon Dealer Guild's Eastern Branch Head, Genzo said to give his old friend's son a warriors end!


P107
グレタ武人らしき死を…か
A death worthy of a Gretan warrior...huh.

感謝する…！
Thank you...!

お前の名は…？
What's your name...?


P108
武器行商人ガラミィ！
Arms peddler, Garami!

見事…思い出した…
Magnificent...I remember now...

ガラミィという名…
The name Garami...

武器商人ギルドが抱える…
The Weapon Dealer Guild's...

最強の戦士…
Strongest warrior...

P109
ガラミィ血が…！
Garami, you're bleeding...!

待って…これで
Wait...use this...

気にするなこんなの何でもない
It's nothing, don't worry about it.

…ガラミィあの人はこれで救われたよね？
...Garami, was he saved?

さあな　私は依頼を果たしただけだ
Who knows. I just completed request.

そいつはただの残り香だ…死に場所を得られなかった男のな
That was just the remains...of a man who couldn't find a place to die.

P110
風が吹けば散って消える
It'll scatter when the wind blows.

待ってよガラミィ！！
Wait for me, Garami!!

山の奥深くに眠るこの廃砦を訪れる者は誰もいない…
No one sets foot into the abandoned fortress that sleeps deep in the mountains...

―毎年同じ時期に武器行商人が銃弾を届けに来る以外には―
-Except for an arms peddler delivering a bullet at same time every year.-

Note:

ガルメル/バルザール/グレタ/メルテ - Galmel/Balzaal/Greta/Melt - Galmel and Melt are measurements of distance. Balzaal and Greta are country names and people from these countries would be Balzaan and Gretan respectively. I wasn't too sure how to Romanize these but I will be using the aforementioned until the author decides to write them in English.

武器商人ギルド- Weapon Dealers Guild- The guild that Garami belongs to. I couldn't think of a shorter name for it. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to pm me or put it in the comments.
