Text box：　藤麓介中学２年生
面倒臭いことをとことん嫌う彼の性格が完成されたのは１１歳頃だった
まだ幼い頃の麓介は自分の生まれた家がどういう家か知る由もなく
気にする必要もなく
たくさんの愛情を注がれながらすくすく成長していった
しかし
高級老舗料亭「紫藤」の息子として生きていくにあたり
自分があまりにも才能に欠けていることに９歳の頃気が付いた
Fuji Rokusuke, second year middle school student.
It was at age eleven when his hating troublesome things personality reached completion.
For a small child, there was no way of knowing what kind of parentage he was born to
Nor any need to care about it either.
Showered with lots of love, Roksuke grew up well.
But as he was living as the son of the family that runs Murasaki, a high-class, well-established restaurant
He realized at age 9 he lacked the talents needed for his position.

Fuji：　「結婚すんの？」
Get married?

Sanzou：　「うん」
Yes.

Fuji：　「あの彼女と？　やったじゃん　遂におやじに言ったのかよ！　よく殺されなかったなー」
To that girl? That's good, so you finally talked to dad about her? It's a miracle he didn't kill you.

Sanzou：　「違うよ　１８になったらの話 それに相手も知らない別の人」
「彼女とは別に結婚の約束をした人がいるからその人と結婚するんだよ」
No, what I'm saying is that I'll get married when I turn 18 and it'll be to someone I don't know.
She's someone I've been arranged to marry so I'll get married to them instead of my girlfriend.

Fuji：　「なんで？」
Why?

Sanzou：　「そういう決まりだから」
It's a custom.

Fuji：　「なんで？　山蔵それでいいのかよ？」
Why? Are you okay with that, Sanzou?

Sanzou：　いいよ　決まりなんだから仕方ないよ
I am. It's a custom so it can't be helped.

Text box：　兄・山蔵は藤の人間として実に模範的であった
兄の存在により麓介の問題児ぶりはますます浮き彫りにされたが
自分の才能を早い段階で把握し周囲の人間にも愛されて育った麓介はそのせいでひねくれたり兄に嫉妬することもなかった
ただ・・・その代わりに
Older brother Sanzou was exemplary as a Fuji.
Because of his older brother's existence, Rokusuke's problem child nature became more and more distinct.
Since he had a good grip of what he was good at early on and was surrounded by good people who loved him, he didn't become rebellious or jealous of his brother.
But...on the other hand...

Text box：　やっても無駄だと感じることへは微塵の努力も注がない
諦める癖がついた
He wouldn't waste even one iota of effort on things that he felt would be pointless to do.
He acquired a habit of giving up.

Title：　無駄な努力
Futile Effort


Page 4
Ashitaba：　えっ・・・それじゃあ藤くん
１８歳になったら結婚しないといけないの？
What...that means, Fuji-kun...
When he turns 18, he has to get married?

Mimasaka：　そんなんオレだってキレるっつーの・・・
よりによって藤が言うこと聞くわけねーだろ
Even I'd get mad about something like that...
There's no way Fuji is going to do that.

Hades-sensei：　「自分の好きなように生きられない」
こういうことだったのか・・・
"I don't want to live like you want me to."
So that's what that meant.

Self-Restraint：　私は「節制の麓介」・・・
麓介の記憶を元にすべての感情を支配・操作するもの
私は個性を持たない
あなたがたへ麓介の記憶から形成した言葉を送ります
I am "Self-Restraint Rokusuke".
My role is to govern and control the source of all Rokusuke's memories
I myself have no personality.
I will give to you words formed from Rokusuke's memory.


Page 5
Self-Restraint：　「アシタバ　美作」
「ハデス先生」
「あとまあ・・・どうでもいいけどついでに山蔵」
「聞いてくれ
俺は・・・家を継ぐのは勿論結婚させられんのも絶対イヤだ」
「けど・・・俺の家は知っての通りだ
マジで反抗しようと思ったら気の遠くなるような労力が要る」
「どっちに転んでもめんどくせえ」
「そんな状況にウンザリきたんだよ
頭ん中でわめくうるさい感情は全部外に追い出した」
「もう俺は何も考えたくないし何もしたくない」
"Ashitaba, Mimasaka."
"Hades-sensei."
"And even though I don't care but while I'm at it, Sanzou."
"Listen to me."
"Of course I don't want to succeed my house and get married."
"But...as you know of my house.
"If you planned on seriously opposing them, you'd need unbelievable power."
"No matter which way it falls, it's annoying."
"I've gotten sick of this situation."
"I've driven out all the loud emotions that scream in my head."
"I don't want to think about anything anymore and I don't want to do anything anymore."


Page 6
Self-Restraint：　「俺はここにいたいんだ」
「なぁ」
「お前らならわかってくれるだろ」
以上です
ちなみにこのメッセージは山蔵には向けられてありません
麓介はあなたには何を言っても無駄だと思っています
"I want to stay here."
"Hey."
"If it's you guys, you'll understand."
That is all.
By the way, this message was not intended for Sanzou.
Rokusuke thought that no matter what he said, it would be pointless.

Sanzou：　ふざけるな　初めて聞いたぞ　こんな事・・・！
なぜ今まで黙っていた？
Don't be ridiculous! That's the first time I've heard that.
Why haven't you said anything until now?

Delight：　あははっ　だっせー
Ahaha, you're out of the loop!

Self-Restraint：　「じゃあ・・・言えば
なんとかしてくれたのか」
"Well...if I said it...
Would you have done something?"


Page 7
Self-Restraint：　「指示されたことを完璧にこなし親の意向に逆らわず・・・何の疑いも持たず
敷かれたレールに従って生きられる お前のことは純粋に凄いと思ってる」
「俺にはできない生き方だからな」
"To perfectly handle things without going against my parent's wishes...without having any doubts...
And live your life abiding by the rules that had been laid out. I thought you were seriously amazing."
"That's a way of life I just can't do."

Sanzou：　できないんじゃない　しないだけだ！　お前は・・・
二言目には面倒臭い面倒臭いと・・・
It's not a matter of not being able to - you just won't!
You're constantly saying, "it's annoying, it's annoying..."

Self-Restraint：　「ほら見ろ」
「な？　言っても無駄だった
いいんだよ　別にわかってもらおうなんて思っちゃいねー
あんたはあんたで正しいし俺も自分が間違ってるとは思わない」
「・・・でも藤にとって異端なのは俺の方だ
だから異端は異端らしく引っ込んどいてやろーって言ってんだよ」
"Look."
"See? Even if I said anything, it was impossible."
"Whatever. I didn't really think you'd understand."
"In your own way, you're right - and at the same time, I don't think I was wrong."
"But I'm the one who's a heretic when it comes to the Fuji house."
"So, I'm telling you that I'm drawing back like the good heretic I am."

Mimasaka：　・・・っざけんなよ　オメー・・・
Don't screw with us!


Page 8
Mimasaka：　んで全部ひとりしょい込んで引き込もりかよ
So you're just going to shoulder the weight by yourself and shut yourself in?

Ashitaba：　冗談じゃないよ！
普段どうでもいい事は人に頼りっ放しのくせに・・・
僕ら何も知らなかった！
Don't kid around!
You're always depending on people for things that don't matter...
We didn't know anything!

Mimasaka：　俺らそんなに頼りねーか！　ああ？
So you really can't depend on us? Huh?

Sanzou：　君たち・・・
You two...

Hades-sensei：　「家を継ぐのも結婚するのも嫌」・・・
なら・・・君が家の象徴でもある　　その服を着ているのはどうしてなんだい？
まだ何か隠してることがあるね・・・
本体の藤くんと直接話しをさせてくれないか
節制（きみ）は言わば藤くんの理性・・・
本音と建前を使い分けるのは君の専売特許だろうからね
"I don't want to succeed my house nor get married"...
What's the reason for wearing those clothes, which are a symbol of your house?
You're still hiding something.
Why don't we talk to the real Fuji-kun firsthand?
You are Fuji-kun's sense, so to speak...
Using your real motives and outward appearance for different things is your speciality.

Delight：　そう・・・ですか・・・
そういうことなら・・・
節制！　いいの？
I...see...
If you say so...
Self-restraint! Are you all right with that?

Self-Restraint：　仕方がない
It can't be helped.


Page 9
Self-Restraint：　私に備えられた力だけではあなた方を追い返す術が見当たらない
それであなた方が納得すると言うのなら・・・
「本体」との面会を許可しましょう
I could not find a means to drive you out with power I have given myself.
So if I have your consent...
I'll permit you to meet the "real body" face-to-face.

Someone：　か・・・
「感情」が・・・
ひとつになっていく
The...
The "emotions"...
They're coming together...!


Page 10
Fuji：　おまえ・・・たち・・・は・・・
You...guys...

Ashitaba：　あっ・・・ふ・・・
藤くん？　起きたの？
Ah...Fu...
Fuji-kun? You're awake?

Mimasaka：　やっと目ェ覚ましやがったか　寝太郎が
散々メーワクかけやがって・・・覚悟できてんだろーな？
So you're finally came to, you sleeping bastard?
You've really been causing everyone trouble - you know what you're gonna get for this?


Page 11
Hades-sensei：　いけない・・・美作くん
まだ終わってない
Don't, Mimasaka-kun!
It's not over yet!

Mimasaka：　あ？
何が・・・
Huh?
What are -

Hades-sensei：　ぐ・・・
Guh...

Ashitaba：　せ・・・
Se...


Page 12
Ashitaba：　先生っ！
Sensei!

Sanzou：　先生！　ご無事ですか！
Sensei! Are you all right?

Mimasaka：　ぜっ　ぜんぜぇええええええ
Ze...zenzeeee...!

Hades-sensei：　大・・・丈夫
ちょっと気持ち悪いけどね・・・
それより・・・この感触・・・遂に・・・
お出ましのようだ・・・
I'm...okay...
I just feel a bit strange...
More importantly...this feeling...it seems
You've finally made your appearance.


Page 13
Sanzou：　なっ・・・なんだ・・・この・・・
Wha...what is that...

Hades-sensei：　お兄さん・・・子供たちを連れて下がっていてください
ここからは僕の出番です
Onii-san...take the children and step back, please.
From here on out, it's my turn.

Self-Restraint：　言って聞かぬならそれもいい・・・
おまえ達のやろうとしている事がいかに無駄か
思い知らせてくれよう・・・
It's your choice to not to listen to me.
No matter what you try to do, it's futile.
I'll make you realize this.


Page 14
Mimasaka：　お兄ちゃん　ここは大人しく下がっとこーぜ！
Onii-chan, he's got it covered so let's get out of here!

Sanzou：　し・・・しかし・・・！　あのような巨大な化物相手にどう立ち向かうと・・・
Bu...but! How is he going to fight against a giant monster like that...

Ashitaba：　だっ・・・大丈夫・・・です！
先生・・・普段は小学生にも頭が上がんないけど・・・
ハデス先生はその巨大な化物を引きずり出してからの方が強いんです
藤くん・・・あとちょっとで助かりますよ！
It's...it's fine!
Sensei...even though he's usually no match for even an elementary school student...
Once he's dragged out that huge monster, he'll show his true strength.
And in just a bit, he'll save Fuj-kun!

Hades-sensei：　「やっても無駄」なんて言うのは・・・
結果を怖がる者の言い訳でしかないよ
Saying "Even if you do something, it'll be futile"...
It's nothing more than an excuse someone afraid of the outcome would say.

Self-Restraint：　無駄は無駄だ
ここは・・・怠惰の庭・・・頑張れば頑張るほど
The futile is futile.
Here in the garden of laziness, the more you try...


Page 15
Self-Restraint：　馬鹿を見る
The more you make a fool of yourself.

Hades-sensei：　なっ・・・
くっ・・・！
Wha...
Kuh...!

Mimasaka：　かっ・・・
瓦ぁ！
Ro...
Roof tiles!

Ashitaba：　なっ・・・何これ
どうなってるの？
What is this?
How did it turn out like this?

Hades-sensei：　つッ！
Ugh...

Sanzou：　もう・・・見ていられない！
先生！　助太刀致します
I can't just look on anymore.
Sensei! I'll assist you in this fight!


Page 16
Sanzou：　なっ・・・
ど・・・どういうことだ・・・
これは・・・
罠・・・？
Wha...
Ju...just what are these?
It's...
A trap...?

Self-Restraint：　今・・・仕掛けを作動させた・・・
作動条件は
「麓介をこの庭から連れ出そうと頑張ること」・・・
I have set the device running.
The operating requirments are
"Trying as hard as you can to take Rokusuke out of the garden."


Page 17
Self-Restraint：　そう・・・何もしなければ何も起こらない・・・
これこそがこの世の真理・・・
「諦めること」・・・
おまえ達にできる 一番賢い選択だ
That's right...if you do nothing, nothing will happen.
That is the truth of this world.
"Give up."
Doing that is the wisest choice.

Ashitaba：　どっ・・・
どっ・・・どど
どうしよう　美作くん！
これじゃ先生の手が届かないよ！
Wha...
Wha...w...w..
What are we gonna do, Mimasaka-kun!
At this rate, sensei's hands can't reach it!

Mimasaka：　おっ・・・オレが聞きてーよ！
Tha...that's what I'm asking!

Hades-sensei：　馬鹿で結構・・・
お兄さん
僕の身体のどこか一部があいつに届けば勝負はつきます
援護をお願いできますか
It's fine if you want to call me an idiot.
Onii-san. If any one part of my body touches him, then we can win.
Can you cover me?

Sanzou：　今ひとつ状況が整理しきれていないのですが・・・
わかりました　今は　あなたを守ることだけに集中しましょう
参ります
I'm not entirely sure I grasp the situation at hand...
I understand. Right now, I'll just concentrate on protecting you.
Let's go.


Page 18
Sanzou：　先生！　上です
Sensei! Above you!

Hades-sensei：　はい
Right.

Sanzou：　右
On the right.

Ashitaba：　すっ・・・
スゴイ！　息ピッタリだよ！
A...
Amazing! They're synched up perfectly!

Mimasaka：　おい！　コレ行けんじゃねーか！
Hey, they're gonna make it!


Page 19
Hades-sensei：　もらった！
ば・・・かな
壁・・・！
Got it!
Ridiculous...
The wall...!

Self-Restraint：　無駄は無駄・・・
何も変わりはしない
なにも・・・
The futile is futile.
Nothing will change.
Nothing.
