みゆのこと見なかった？
Mina: Have you seen Miyu?
いや　今日はまだ来てないよ
Kanae: No, she hasn't come here yet today.

ああーーーどうしよう
Mina: AAhhh-- What am I going to do
ちょっと美奈ちゃんどうしたの！？
Kanae: Hold on Mina-chan what happened!?

。。。みゆがいないの　。。。道路にカバンが落ちてて。。。！！
Mina: ... Miyu is gone ... her backpack was lying on the road!!

えっ！？
Kanae: Huh!?

どういうこと？児童館にも友だちの家にもいないの？
Kanae: What do you mean? She wasn't at the children's center or a friend's house?
友だちの家も図書館も行きそうなところみんなきいてみたけどいないって。。。
Mina: Her friend's houses, the library, I've already tried asking all the places she might have gone but they said she's not there.

携帯もつながらなくて、あの子電源切ってとことなんか一度もなかったのに。。。！
Mina: I can't reach her cellphone either, that child has never even turned the power off once...!

どうしよう。。。！！　あの子。。。　もしも。。。
Mina: What am I going to do...!! If she...
落ち着いて。。。！　落ち着いて
Kanae: Calm down...! Calm down

６
警察に連絡した？
Kanae: Have you contacted the police?
まだ。。。
Mina: Not yet...
うん　とにかく警察連絡しよう
Kanae: Okay, let's contact the police for now

まだ何かが起こったって決まったわけじゃないんだからね
Kanae: But it's not like something has happened for sure

あ堀さん　
Kanae: Oh Hori-san
ちょうどよかった
Kanae: Good timing

あの　悪いんだけど　台所で熱い紅茶　作ってカウンターまで持ってきてくれる？
Kanae: Um, sorry but, could you make some black tea in the kitchen and bring it to the counter?
は？
Hori: Huh?
砂糖を２杯。。。３杯あと戸棚にあるラム酒を少しいれてください
Kanae: with 2... no, 3 sugars, and put a little bit of the rum in the cupboard in there too please
はあ
Hori: Ahm

ご免なさい、お願いします
Kanae: Sorry, please...
はい
Hori: Okay

７
む
Sabu: Hm

では詳しい事情は車の中でー
Police: Then we'll discuss the details in the car-

どうしたのいったい？
Aunt: What is going on?
あっ　おばさん
Kanae: Ah, Auntie

あのすぐ行きますから、先に行っててください
Kanae: Um, we'll be right there, so please go ahead.
わかりました
Police: Alright.

大丈夫？　美奈ちゃん
Kanae: Are you alright Mina-chan?
むりにでも全部飲んだほうがいいよ
Kanae: Even if it's hard to, you should drink all of it.

ごめん　おばさん　あとお願いできる？
Kanae: Sorry Auntie, but could you do me a favor?
そりゃいいけど何があったのよ！？
Aunt: Of course but what's happened!?
うん　あとで説明するから
Kanae: I'll explain later

９
よっ　
Sabu: Hey
あっ　こんばんは
Hori; Ah, good evening
何があったんじゃ？　表のパトにかな坊らが乗っとったぞ
Sabu: Did something happen? Kana-bou's riding in the patrol car out there
それがよくわからないんですよ
Hori: I'm not really sure what's going on

一緒にいるのはみゆ坊の母親じゃな
Sabu: Isn't that Miyu-bou's mom with her?

週に４日昼の仕事の他に夜も働いているので　その日はお風呂と夕食の分のお金を渡してるんです
Mina: 4 days out of the week, besides working afternoons I also work in the evening so on those days I leave her money for a bath and dinner
今日も夜の仕事の日だったんですけど　急に店が休みになったんでアパートに戻ったんです
Mina: Today I had work in the evening as well but the store unexpectedly closed so I returned to my apartment

そしたらあの子がいなくて　友達がカバンを持ってきてくれて。。。
Mina: And she wasn't there. Her friend brought her backpack over for her...

あの子。。。　連れ去りになったんでしょうか？
Mina: Miyu... has she been kidnapped?
いえ　まだそれはわかりませんが
Police: No, we don't know yet...

しかし　その可能性も考えて捜査しますのでお母さんは一旦　家に戻ってください
Police: But we're accounting for that possibility and will conduct a search. For the time being please return to your home.
。。。はい
Mina: ... Okay
何かわかり次第連絡します
Police: As soon as we find something we'll contact you

かなちゃん　もういいよ　仕事に戻って　あたし大丈夫だから
Mina: Kana-chan it's okay, you can go back to work, I'm alright
本当？　ずっとついててもいいんだよ
Kanae: Really? I can stay with you longer

何かがあったら呼んでねすぐ行くから
Kanae: If something happens, call me, I'll come right away
うん　ありがとう
Mina: Yeah... Thank you.

おばさん　ごめん
Kanae: Sorry Auntie
それで一体どうしたの！？
Aunt: So what happened!?

みゆが学校帰りからいなくなったの 道路にカバンがおちてたんだって
Kanae: Miyu disappeared on her way back from school. They said her backpack had fallen on the road.
え！？　みゆちゃんが？
Aunt: Eh!? Miyu-chan?

ええ？　なんなの　誘拐？
Aunt: Eh? What? An abduction?
わからない　今警察が動いてるから
Kanae: I don't know, the police are on it right now.

１１
どうぞ
Hori: Have some
あ。。。　ありがとう
Kanae: Ah... Thanks.

１２
さあ　じゃ　二人ともご飯食べてきて
Aunt: Well... then, you two should go get some food

あ。。。　ごめん　あたしいらない
Kanae: Ah... sorry I don't need any

１３
え　だめよ　食べとかなきゃ
Aunt: Huh? No, you've got to eat.
うん。。。　ちょっと　今食べたくない
Kanae: Yeah... I just don't feel like eating right now

そう　じゃあたしと堀さんで食べてくるからそのあと交代して少し休んだら
Aunt: Alright, how about if we switch after Hori-san and I finish eating and you get some rest
うん。。。
Kanae: Okay...

１４
大丈夫ですか
Hori: Are you alright?
。。。どうしよう
Kanae: ... What are we gonna do?
もしみゆに何かあったらどうしよう
Kanae: If something happens to Miyu what are we going to do?

。。。とり返しのつかないひどいことされたらどうしよう。。。！
Kanae: .. If something horrible that can't be taken back happens to her what are we going to do...!
奥さん
Hori: Ma'am
生きて帰ってこれなかったら　どうしよう　ずっと帰ってこなかったらどうしよう
Kanae: If she can't come back alive what will we do? If she never comes back what are we going to do?
奥さん！
Hori: Ma'am!

警察も迅速に広域捜査してるようです　とにかく彼らに任せて　今は余計なこと考えないほうがいいです
Hori: The police are conducting a wide spread search as we speak. At any rate, just leave it to them. For now you shouldn't worry about such unnecessary things.

少し休んできてください
Hori: Please go rest for a bit

１５
ほんとにねえ　今の世の中どうなちゃったんだろう
Aunt: Really, what has the world come to these days
ひどい事件がいとも簡単に起こるみたい
Aunt: It seems like these awful events occur so easily

とくに子供を巻き込む事件は本当にいやだわ
Aunt: Incidents that children get caught up in are especially unpleasant
連れ去りだの虐待だの もうニュース見るのもいや
Aunt: Kidnapping, abuse, I'm sick of seeing it on the news

１６
あ。。。　かなちゃん
Aunt: Ah... Kana-chan
もう平気なの？
Aunt: Are you alright already?

あたしが小さい頃さなえちゃんていたよね
Kanae: When I was young there Sanae-chan was around, right?

さなえちゃんてどうしたんだっけ　どっか引っ越してたんだっけ
Kanae: What ever happened to Sanae-chan? Did she move somewhere?

１７
。。。何いってんのよ　こんな時に
Aunt: ... What are you talking about... at a time like this.
さなえちゃんは。。。　だって。。。　ほら。。。
Aunt: Sanae-chan was... I mean... Hey...

じゃ釜場に戻ります
Hori: I'm going to go back to the boiler room.
あ　はい
Aunt: Ah, Okay.

なんかみゆと知らない大人が話してたのを見た子どもがおったらしいぞ
Sabu: There seems to be some kids that saw Miyu talking to some adult they didn't recognize
携帯の電源もきれたとることだし　ちょっとまずいかもしれんなあ
Sabu: And her cellphone's been shut off too, this might be pretty bad.

みゆの携帯をそいつが持ってるかどうかだな
Sabu: It's all down to whether or not that guy has got her cellphone...

１８
ほら　こうしたらにてるよ
Sanae: See, if you do this we look alike

あたし　くせっけだからみじかくしたらくるくるまいちゃうって おばさんが
Kanae: My auntie said I have frizzy hair so if I get cut short it'll go all over the place
だいじょうぶだよ　かなちゃんみじかいほうがじゃまになんないし　かわいいよ
Sanae: It'll be alright, It won't get in the way if it's short, and it's cute.

おそろいにして服とっかえたらどっちがどっちかわかんないよ
Sanae: If we wear matching clothes they won't know who is who!
そうかなあ
Kanae: Really?

１９
そういあ　この辺り　変な男が車でウロウロしてるってのは聞いたことあんのよ
GossipyLady1: Oh yeah, I heard there was some strange guy prowling around in his car around here
ええっ？　そうなの
GossipyLady2: Huh? Really?
ほら　成沢さんとこのいくみちゃん声かけられてにげてきたって
GossipyLady1: Yeah, they said he called out to Ikumi-chan from Narusawa's place and ran after her.

この辺　学校が近いからね
GossipyLady3: It's cause the school is close by here
結構あんのよ そういうこと
GossipyLady1: It happens a lot, this type of thing

２０
容疑者の車確保しました同乗の女の子無事保護
Police: The suspect's vehicle has been apprehended. The girl riding with him is in our custody unharmed.
女の子は藤川みゆ８歳繰り返します-
Police: The girl is Fujikawa Miyu, 8 years old, I repeat-

２１
だれかきて！　だれか！！
Sanae: Somebody! Anybody!!
たすけてー！！
Sanae: Help-!!

誰にもいうんじゃないぞ！
You better not tell anybody!
いったらお前を殺すぞ
If you do I'll kill you

２２
いつでもお前をみてるからな！！
'Cause I'll always be watching you!!

かなちゃんさなえと一緒じゃなかったの？さなえはどこなの？
Lady: Kana-chan weren't you together with Sanae? Where's Sanae?
さなえはどこにいるかしらないの！？
Lady: Do you know where Sanae is!?

しらない
Kanae: I don't know

２３
犯人捕まったって
GossipyLady4: They said the caught the suspect!
みゆちゃんも無事らしいよ！
GossipyLady4: And Miyu-chan is unharmed!

GossipyLady1: Really!?

GossipyLady4: Really! Really! I just heard it over there!

ああ～よかった。。。
Aunt: Ahhh Thank goodness...

よかったね！みゆちゃん無事だって
Aunt: Isn't this great! They said Miyu-chan's fine

かなちゃん。。。？
Aunt: Kana-chan...?

２４
かなちゃん！！
Aunt: Kana-chan!!

かなちゃんは明るくて本当に元気だね
Kana-chan is really bright and energetic isn't she?
ちがう
You're wrong
かなえさんはなんでも一人でできちゃうんだね
Kanae-san can do anything by herself can't she?
それはちがう
That's wrong

明るく元気で大人たちに好かれ短い髪の似合ったさなえちゃん
Sanae-chan, who was bright and energetic, loved by adults, and looked good with short hair
あたしが死ねばよかった
I should have died

２５
優しいお父さんとお母さん　いつも遊んでくれるお兄さんがいたさなえちゃん
Sanae-chan, who had a kind mother and father and a brother who would always play with her
あたしが死ねばよかった
I should have died

あ　えーと　白石悟です
Satoru: Ah, umm, I'm Shiraishi Satoru.
よろしく
Satoru: Nice to meet you

堀といいます
Hori: Name's Hori.
銭湯組合の大村さんの紹介で来ました
Hori: I'm here on introduction by Oomura-san from the bath house union.

私は結婚なんかすべきじゃなかった　お風呂屋なんか継ぐべきじゃなかった
I shouldn't have gotten married. I shouldn't have inherited the bath house
私は死にたかったんだ　あの日からずっと
I wanted to die. Ever since that day

２６
私は長い間さなえちゃんの代わりを生きてきた
I've been living for a long time in Sanae's place
死ぬことも出来ずに
Unable to even die

そして私はずっと待っていた
And I've been waiting all this time
それを与えてくれる人を
For someone who could give that to me
ずっと。。。
All this time...


２７
堀さん。。。
Kanae: Hori-san...
あたしの首をしめて。。。
Kanae: Strangle me...

２８
あたしを殺して
Kanae: Kill me...
お願い
Kanae: Please...

つかまった。　罪の意識は、幼なじみを追わせるように、かなえを水底へ引きずり込む
It's caught her. As if she's being forced to chase after a childhood friend, the knowledge of her own sin drags Kanae to the bottom of the depths
生きる意欲が損なわれた、かなえ。　日々の生活もままならない。
Kanae's desire to live has been injured. She's unable to have even her daily life.

Notes:

あたしが死ねばよかった
I should have died
I should have been the one to die
It would have been better if I had died
It would have been better if I were the one who died

But isn't it great how the guy getting caught is more important than Miyu being safe to those ladies... XD
