桜庭一樹×杉基イクラ 砂糖菓子の弾丸は撃ちぬけない Sakuraba Kazuki & Sugimoto Iqura A Lollipop or a Bullet: Chapter 10 ---[ 1 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_093 ]--- 赤ちゃんの頃にすごく乱暴に扱われて股関節が片方おかしくなっちゃったんだって It seems she was handled very roughly when she was an infant, and her hip joint on one side was damaged. それに片耳聞こえないし And also, she's deaf in one ear... 汚染なの It's contamination. シャコシャコ brush brush ス... sssh カチャ clink ---[ 2 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_094 ]--- あたしたちは十三歳で As mere thirteen-year olds, 未成年で as minors, 親の庇護の下で育たなければならない子供だ we are children who must be raised beneath the protective wings of our parents. ---[ 3 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_095 ]--- あたしたちは We can't どこにも行かない go anywhere. ---[ 4 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_096 ]--- 翌日も翌々日も藻屑は学校を休んだ The next day, and the day after that, Mokuzu didn't come to school. なぎさ Nagisa. ちゃんと説明する義務あるでしょ!? Don't you have an obligation to explain things to us properly? なな... N- N... ないよ No, I don't. 花名島も停学処分中で With Kanajima also out serving his suspension, 例の事件の関係者はあたしだけだった I was the only person present with a connection to that incident. ---[ 5 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_097 ]--- ---[ 6 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_098 ]--- う... Ugh... これください I'd like this, please. ...少し安くなりますか? ...could you make it a little cheaper? ええ!? What!? はぁ... Sigh... ...はいよ ...very well. じゃあ五百円 Then, 500 yen. ええー本物かしら Ehh... is that really him? ぜったいそうよ It's him! It's definitely him! ---[ 7 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_099 ]--- 中学生の子供がいるなんてみえないわよね... Hard to believe from looking at him, that he's got a kid already in middle school... トクン ba-thump 海野雅愛...! Umino Masachika...! トクン ba-thump ---[ 8 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_100 ]--- [Flashbacks from Vol. 1, pg. 102 and Vol. 2, pg. 79] ドクン ba-thump 藻屑のおとうさん... Mokuzu's father... ---[ 9 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_101 ]--- 藻屑さん Will Mokuzu-san 明日学校きますか be coming to school tomorrow? 君クラスメート? You're a classmate? ...はい ...yes. ---[ 10 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_102 ]--- そっか I see. フッ heh でも友達じゃないだろ? But, not a friend, right? あいつに友達なんているわけがない There's no way that girl would have any friends. あいつはばかだからなぁ Because she's an idiot, you see. ばかに友達なんてできない Idiots can't possibly make any friends. グイ grip 生まれつきなんだよ 母親に似てね She's been that way since she was born. She takes after her mother. 顔だけはいいんだ 頭は... Only her face is good. Her mind, on the other hand... あたし... I... ---[ 11 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_103 ]--- あたし友達です! I am her friend! どうして子供のことそんなふうに悪くいうんです!? How can you speak like that about a child!? ぼくだっていいたかないさ Hey, even I hate to say it. けどあいつはほんとどうしようもないだろう? But with her, there's really no way around it, right? 親の身にもなってほしいよ I try my best to be a proper father. [Flashback from Vol. 2, pg. 79] 恥ずかしいんだよな But it's embarrassing, to be frank. ---[ 12 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_104 ]--- だからって...暴力はいけないと思います! Regardless... I really think that violence is just wrong! 町中で噂になってます There are rumors around town. 藻屑は痣だらけだし ちゃんと歩けないし 片耳も聞こえない Mokuzu has bruises all over her body. She can't walk properly, and she can't hear out of one ear... 家からは悲鳴が聞こえるし...っ And people have heard shrieks coming from your house... チラ glance 噂だろう? But those are just rumors, right? それだけじゃぼくの仕業だという証拠にはならないよ? That's not really any kind of evidence that any of it was my doing. ---[ 13 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_105 ]--- あの子はとんでもない嘘つきなんだ That girl is an outrageous liar. 藻屑の嘘を信じすぎてつまらないこと言ってると Believing in Mokuzu's lies, going around saying all these absurd things... I can't just overlook that, 子供でも容赦しないよ even if you are a child. 名誉毀損はぼくのような仕事をしているものには致命的でね Defamation of character is particularly damaging for someone in my line of work. わかるかい? Understand what I'm saying? 裁判沙汰になって負けたらずいぶんとお金がかかるよ? If it goes to court and you lose, you could be looking at a pretty hefty bill. コンコン tap tap ご両親は払えるかな? I wonder, could your parents pay it? フン Hmph ---[ 14 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_106 ]--- 藻屑を殴らないで Stop hitting Mokuzu. チッ che ---[ 15 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_107 ]--- ガコォン thunk clanggg ---[ 16 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_108 ]--- ガラッ slide ズリ stagger ズリ stagger ザワ... murmur murmur 藻屑...

Eiko... カタ shtf 左側で言いたいこというのって楽しいの? Is it fun? --being able to say whatever you like from the left-hand side. ---[ 18 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_110 ]--- HR始めるぞー All right, I'm starting homeroom! [Note: i.e. an afterschool homeroom session before the students go home.] 席に着けー Take your seats. ---[ 19 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_111 ]--- どいて Outta the way. ドン shove 月曜は体育祭のリレーのメンバー決めるからなー On Monday we're going to be choosing the runners for the Athletic Festival relay, got it? ええー Ehhh... めんどくせえ What a pain... それじゃあ また来週な All right then, see you all next week. お前走れよ You should run. えー Eh... ---[ 20 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_112 ]--- 新しいソフト買ったんだ Hey, I bought a new game. おー 行く行く! Ohh, I'm coming over! マジでー Are you serious? アハハハハ Ahahahaha あたしはすでに砂糖まみれで I've already been smeared all over with sweet, sticky sugar. 見るもの 触るもの なにもかもがべたべたしてる The things I see, the things I touch, anything and everything--it all clings messily to me. ガタッ clatter ---[ 21 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_113 ]--- 一緒に帰ろう Let's walk home together. ---[ 22 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_114 ]--- ぷっ pbhh げほっ cough cough ...っ ... うんいいよ Yeah, sure! 帰ろっ Let's go. あたしのへっぽこ銃は My still untrained gun 砂糖菓子で目詰まりを起こしている is getting clogged up with it. With this "sugar candy". ---[ 23 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_115 ]--- おー Oh! いたいた There you are. 山田 Yamada, ちょっと職員室来てくれ Come to the faculty room for a sec. えぇ~ Ehhhh... seriously? すぐすむすぐすむから Just for a second. Honest. な OK? はぁ... Sigh... すぐらしいから待ってて Seems it won't take too long, so could you wait for me? うん Sure. 山田武器好きか? Yamada, do you like weapons? は? Huh? ---[ 24 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_116 ]--- 先生は素手のカンフーとかのが好きだけどなぁ As for me, I'm more into hand-to-hand stuff like Kung Fu... ーって話じゃなくてな --wait, that's not what we're here to talk about. は...はぁ... Ye- Yeah... これって高校卒業後の進路か? Is this something you intend to pursue right after high school? [2組 Class 2 山田なぎさ Yamada Nagisa 第1志望:自衛隊 First Choice: Self-Defense Force 第2志望: Second Choice:] それとも防衛大に進んで美人幹部候補生ってやつか? Or perhaps you're looking to go on to the National Defense Academy as a "gorgeous officer-candidate", type of deal? パサ flp あたし高校行かないです I'm not going to high school. だめだ! That's no good! 高校は一応は出ておいたほうがいいんだ High school is something it's definitely better to get yourself through. その後の人生がずっと楽になる It will make the rest of your life that much easier. バイトしながらだって行けるし定時制だってあるぞ Even if you have to split part-time between school and work, there are ways to accommodate that. ---[ 25 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_117 ]--- 山田んちはお父さんが亡くなっていて今はお母さん一人なんだろ I understand that your father has passed away... it's just your mother there now? ...お兄さんは? ...what about your older brother? 兄は貴族なので My older brother's a noble. ん? Hm? あたしはこの目の前の大人に理解してもらおうとは思えなかった I had no expectation that this adult sitting before me could possibly understand, だから今の自分の立場と兄のことをただ淡々と説明した so I simply explained my own, and my brother's, situations, in a matter-of-fact way. ...山田 ...Yamada. はい Yes. あのな うちの弟も You see, my little brother, ...それなんだ ...he's the same way. ひひ... A hi-, hi- ひきこもり...? hikikomori...? ---[ 26 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_118 ]--- これは俺の持論だけど This is just my personal theory but, それは多分母親のせいだ frankly, I blame the mother. うちだってお袋があいつを...弟を甘やかしたりしなければ...っ If my own mother hadn't spoiled that gu--er, my brother rotten, he wouldn't have turned out like that... お袋は誰かにそばにいて欲しいんだ Mom likes somebody to stay around and keep her company... 自立して親のことあんま相手にしない俺じゃなくて not me, since I'm fairly self-reliant, and don't have much to do with my parents anymore... 母親がいなきゃなんにもできない甘やかすのに最適なだめなひきこもりの弟のほうが... but my useless hikikomori of a brother, who couldn't do a thing in the world if Mom wasn't around to pamper him, is just ideal... じゃあ猫でも飼えよ! I mean, just get a cat or something! なぁ!? Right!? ...あ ...ah. ごめんごめん つい... Sorry, got carried away there... ...ふぅん .....huh. ---[ 27 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_119 ]--- この大人もかつてはどこかで子供だったんだ So even this adult was a kid at some point. ぜんぜんピンとこないし Don't really get what he's trying to say. だけどなぁ 山田... But, so you see, Yamada... それこそどーでもいいことだけど Not that I particularly care, either. 話を聞いてたら山田がお袋みたいだ In this case /you're/ like the mother. 兄に飯つくって飢えないようにして Making your brother meals, so he won't go hungry-- 働くことを In fact, what you're doing is 山田の言う「実弾」ってやつを自ら撃とうと考えないようにしてる relieving him of the need to ever think about working--about firing "live bullets", as you like to put it. 兄が「実弾」を撃てるようになったら山田は困るんだ The truth is, if he did become able to fire those "live bullets" on his own -- you wouldn't like that, Yamada. ...っ ... ---[ 28 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_120 ]--- 好きでやってるわけじゃ... It's not like I do it because I want to... 山田は高校に行け Go to high school, Yamada. 働くべきなのは兄のほうだ The one who should be working is your brother. どうしようもないから...っ ...there just isn't another way... そいつは山田がなんと言おうとなまけもののクソ貴族だ! Whatever you want to call him, for a "noble" he's nothing more than a lazy piece of trash! ...いやだ... ...no... この件についてはお母さんも入れて三人で話そう I think we all need to get together and discuss this, you, your mother, and I. 家まで行ってその兄と先生は対決するぞ As for your brother, I'll come to the house and confront him personally. なんにも You don't わかってないくせに...っ have any idea what you're talking about... ---[ 29 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_121 ]--- 山田にもわかる! You understand as well, right? 今 兄に必要なのは"他人"だ! What your brother needs right now is /other people/! それと And, Yamada 山田に必要なのは"安心"だ what you need right now is /security/! 子供に必要なのは安心だ What any child truly needs is security and peace of mind. 俺はそう思ってる That's what I believe. だけどたくさんの家庭で慢性的にそれは不足しているんだ But in so many households these days, those things are in chronic short supply. 君だけじゃない It's not just you! バッ whap ---[ 30 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_122 ]--- 今日の夜家庭訪問するぞ Tonight, I'm coming to your house for a conference! お母さんに言っとけよ! Tell your mother that! くるなぁ! Stay away! いつもそうだ This is just how they always are. 大人はいつもなんでもわかったふりをして Adults always like to act like they know everything. ヒーロー気取りで子供を支配したがるんだ They always want to play the hero, and exercise their control over kids. それでもあたしたちはこの戦場で虚しく戦い続けるしかなくて... Yet despite that, we have no choice but to continue fighting fruitlessly upon this battlefield... ---[ 31 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_123 ]--- ガラ slide おそーい That took foreeeeever! ---[ 32 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_124 ]--- ごめん 担任がごちゃごちゃうるさくって Sorry. He just kept going on and on, blah blah blah... なんて? About what? なんか子供に必要なのは安心だ だって Something about how, what kids need is security, or something. えーピンとこない Ehhh... I don't get it. あたしも Me neither. カタ rattle イタ カタ clatter rattle ---[ 33 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_125 ]--- 嵐がくるよ The storm is coming. ---[ 34 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_126 ]--- 今日が十年に一度の Today is the once-in-a-decade 大嵐だよ Great Tempest. ---[ 35 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_127 ]--- ...あ 朝の天気予報では晴れだったよ ...Th-, the weather forecast this morning called for clear skies. くるってば I tell you, it's coming! 嵐はくるよ The storm is coming. はいはい Got it, got it. ---[ 36 / 36 | A Lollypop or A Bullet_[壓]_128 ]--- カタン slide ...あ ...ah.
