An Encouragement of Learning ~Flutter~/Story

## Introduction

 Oh, you're here!
Hey, look at this, we found another white book. お、来た来た！
ほら、これ。また、白い本が見つかったんだ

 However, this is the most damaged book I've seen so far.
As for the contents, it seems like the plot is set in a school just like before... でも、今まで目にしてきたものの中で一番、傷んでいます
内容としてはどうやら、以前見たのと同じ、学園が舞台の物語のようですが……

 So that white ghost is still wandering around. Would it be too much to hope that incident will be resolved soon? あの白い幽霊が漂う学園か。意外と早く続きが出てくるとはな

 Last time, we have confirmed that the story's characters recognized the presence of the Taints as a "white ghost".
It is a phenomenon not seen in any other books. This time, maybe something unusual will appear as well. 前回は、物語の登場人物が侵蝕者の存在を「白い幽霊」として認識していました
これは他の本では見られなかった現象です。今回も何かおかしな現象が起きているかもしれません

 Since we've been through this, the possibility is high. Still, you'll check up on it, yeah?
Since you're probably also concerned about what this might lead up to. このくたびれ具合を見るに、その可能性は高そうだ。でもま、調べてみるよな？
アンタだって、どんなことになっているのか中身が気になるだろ

 We're of the same mind, so... I'm looking forward to your report. その点は僕たちも同じなので……報告を楽しみにしていますね

## Lessons - Assignment 1 - Oda Sakunosuke? & Arishima Takeo? & Kobayashi Takiji?

*Well lookee here, you two! They done put out a new newspaper!* おっ、二人とも見てみ見てみ！　新しい新聞が張り出されとるで

*What, huh...? "Terror! White Ghosts Creep Upon On Imperial Academy".* なになに……？　「恐怖！　帝國学園に忍び寄る白い幽霊」

*Hmmm, thought this was just a rumor but it's even got its own article now.* ふーん、それ、噂だと思っていたけど本当に表れてたんだな

*Lessee here... Apparently they have appeared, but we still haven't figured out their goal.* えーっと……現れたは現れたんやけど、その目的はまだわからんねんて

*Maybe they have lingering regrets or something...?* なにか未練でもあるのか……？

*Enough that they've come back as ghosts, presumably.
Maybe they do have one or two lingering regrets.* 幽霊になって出てくるぐらいだからな
思い残したことの一つや二つはあるかもしれない

*Well now, that's true... if they didn't have a thing or two ta take care of, they woulda gone right up on ta heaven!* まあ、そらそやな……用事があれへんなら大人しゅう成仏しとるわ

*...That may be so.
More importantly, should we not head to our next class soon?* ……そうかもしれない
それより、そろそろ次の教室に移動しないといけないんじゃないか？

*Ah, that's right, we'd better hurry. It's no fun to get scolded for being tardy.* あっ、そうだ、早く行かないと。遅刻して怒られるのは面白くない

*Let's hurry on out then! Next class is English with Natsume-sensei!* よっしゃ、ほな行こか！　次の授業は夏目先生の英語やでー

## Lessons - Assignment 2 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shimazaki Touson? & Kunikida Doppo?

*I see, I see...
So to recap, the ghosts have certain characteristics.* なるほどなるほど……
話を総合すると、幽霊にはいくつかの特徴があるみたいだね

*Yeah, and among those, "The ghosts can only be seen by students" is our most significant discovery, don't you think?* ああ、その中でも「幽霊は生徒にしか目撃されていない」ってのは結構大きい発見だぜ？

*That's right... Though it's weird that there's an age restriction as to who can see ghosts...* そうだね……幽霊を見るのに、年齢制限があるってのも変な話だけど……

*Among the students, who saw them?* 生徒では誰が見かけたの？

*Hmmm, Nakajima-senpai and Ishikawa-senpai among the third years... Oh, Hakuchou saw them too.* えっと、3年の中島先輩とか、石川先輩とか……あ、白鳥も見たんだって

*Hakuchou-san, from the archery club?* 白鳥さんって、あの弓道部の？

*Yeah. I'm in the archery club too, so I heard about it from there.
He said it was loitering in a corner of the archery range when no one was around.* そ。俺、弓道部も掛け持ちしててさ、そのツテで聞いたんだ
誰もいない弓道場のすみでたたずんでたんだと

*...That's pretty scary. I'd be spooked out of my mind if I saw them.* ……それは怖いですね。僕だったら震え上がります

*Hakuchou seemed pretty chill with it.
He said something like "So it's that easy to see ghosts".* 白鳥本人は涼しい顔だったけどな
「幽霊はあんなにはっきり見えるものなんだな」って言ってたよ

*Sounds just like Hakuchou...* 白鳥らしいよね……

*Now, any more juicy bit of info is gonna cost you. How about it?* さ、これ以上の情報は追加料金が必要だ。どうする？

*Haha, I'm good. Thanks for telling me about all this stuff.
I'm in the student council after all, so I have to try to investigate these ghosts.* ははっ、十分だよ。いろいろと教えてくれてありがとう
僕も生徒会役員として、幽霊について調べてみるよ

*Gotcha. I'll pay good money for new information if you have any. Looking forward to working with you.* 了解。新情報がわかったら高く買うから、よろしくな

*\*disappears\**

*\*disappears\**

*...Though, that said.* ……と、言ったものの

*How should I go about investigating this...? Looking under trees? At the back of the school? Is under a willow tree too cliche a location?* まずはどこから調べればいいだろう……
……木の陰？　校舎裏？　柳の下なんかが定石かな？

*I didn't manage to hear what kind of ghost it was, though.
Saying it's a ghost just brings to mind an ephemeral, beautiful girl...
Huh, wait, what is that――* どんな幽霊だったかっていうのは深くは聞けなかったけど
幽霊というからにはやっぱり儚げな美人だったり……
って、あれ、なんだろう――

## Lessons - Assignment 3 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya & Shiga Naoya?

 Sheesh... Where the heck did they go?
Now it almost looks like *I'm* the one who got lost. Once I find them, I'll give them an earful... ったく……あいつらはいったいどこに行ったんだ？
まるで俺が迷子じゃねえか。見つけたらあとで問い詰めてやる……

 That said, school, huh... にしても、学校か……

 (Hey, those desks and chairs look pretty decrepit.
Guess I was pretty lucky, in more ways than one...) (おいおい、机も椅子もガタガタじゃねえか
ま、俺も世話になったよな、色んな意味で……)

 (That depressing classroom was where I struggled at the bottom of the class with Musha,
but now that I'm back, it's not really that unpleasant.) (武者と成績の最下位争いなんかしてた時には鬱陶しかった教室も、
こうして戻ってくると、悪くねー気がするな)

*――Uwaaaaaah!* ――わあああ！

 ! What was that!?
That voice just now... Musha!? ！　なんだ!?
今の声はまさか……武者!?

\*appears and disappears\*

*\*appears\**

*Ah, aah... No way, this is the ghost!?
I, w-what should I do...
I'm not very tasty!?* あ、ああ……もしかして、これが幽霊!?
僕……ど、どうしよう……
僕のことなんて、食べても美味しくないですよ!?

 ...Hihi... ……ひひ

*It's, it's laughing!?
Ummm, uh...! It's good to see you well...?* わ、笑ってるんですね？
ええっと、その……っ！　ご機嫌麗しいようで何よりで……

 Musha! 武者!

 That's definitely a Taint...! Looks like I've gotta jump in!
Oi, Musha... Wait, it's Musha, but at the same time it's not him. やっぱり侵蝕者か……！　しゃーねーな、ここは俺がやってやる！
おい、武者って……って、武者だけど武者じゃねーな

*Eh? Eh? Shiga!?* え？　え？　志賀!?

 Hii...! ひ……！

 Alright... That's settled. Musha, can you stand? よし……片付いたな。おい武者、立てるか？

*Uh, yeah, thanks.
That said, I never knew Shiga could bust ghosts.* う、うん、ありがとう。
それにしても、志賀が幽霊を倒せるなんて……僕、初めて知ったよ

 Eh... Ahh, I can explain later.
Alright, we better leave―― え……あー、説明が面倒だな
よし、ここはいっそのこと逃げちまって――

*Oi! Musha, are you alright!?
The voice earlier――* おい！　武者、大丈夫か!?
さっきの声――

*\*appears\**

 Uwahh!? うわあっ!?

*Oww!!?* いってえ!?

*S-Shiga!? Wait, what!?* し、志賀!?　あれぇ!?

*Owww... Hey, that's me!* ってて……って、あれ、俺!

 Uwah, another me... Seriously... Is this even possible...!? うわぁ、俺がいる……マジかよ……こんなのあり得るのか……

*That's Shiga, but this is also Shiga...?
W-what the heck is this...!* こっちも志賀で、あっちも志賀で……？
な、なんだこれー！

## Lessons - Assignment 4 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya & Shiga Naoya?

*O-oi! What's the meaning of this!?* お、おい！　これはいったいどういうことなんだ？

*I don't really know myself...* ぼ、僕にもさっぱりわからないよ……

*Hey, you!
Who are you? What's with that awful appearance?* おい、あんた！
あんたは何者なんだ？　なんだってそんな悪趣味な格好してんだよ

 Awful!?
Hey, you, I'm not gonna take that comment lying down. 悪趣味!?
おいちょっと待て、それは聞き捨てならねーぞ

*A faker ain't got no right to be mad at me.
What else am I supposed to call it when you imitated my appearance from head to toe?* なんでそっちが怒るんだよニセ野郎
頭のてっぺんから足の先まで俺のこと真似やがって、悪趣味以外の何だって言うんだよ

 Ah, I see... That's what you meant. あ、ああ……そういう意味か

 No, even so!
I'm not imitating you.
I'm the one and only bona fide Shiga Naoya. いや、そうだとしても、だ！
俺は別にお前の真似をしてるんじゃねーよ
俺は正真正銘、志賀直哉だ

*Huh? Hey, I'm the bona fide Shiga Naoya!* は？　待て、俺が正真正銘志賀直哉だ！

 Ugh, that's also true, but...
Whatever... Either way, we're both Shiga Naoya! ああ、まあそうなんだが……
いや、もういい……ひとまず俺もお前も志賀直哉だ！

*Eh!? Both of us!?* え!?　俺もお前も!?

 Yeah, that's right! So listen to me just a little bit! ああそうだ！　だから、ちょっと俺の話を聞け！

*Ughhh... My head hurts...* ううう……頭が混乱する……

## Lessons - Assignment 5 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu & Shiga Naoya & Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya?

 ...So basically, we've been fightin' and fightin' those ghosts day and night! ……で、俺たちはあの幽霊たちと日夜戦いを繰り広げているわけ

*Huh? Ghosts?
Putting aside the fact you were doubting me, but this time you come out with all this talk of ghosts... Musha, this guy's suspicious no matter how you look at it.* は？　幽霊だと？
俺を騙ったかと思えば今度は幽霊がどうとか……こいつどう考えても怪しいぞ、武者

 Oi, they really exist!
The Taints... they seem more like ghosts here, but even just now... おい、本当にいるんだ！
侵蝕者は……ここじゃ幽霊らしいが、さっきだって……

*I don't believe in anything I haven't seen with my own eyes, ya know.
Damn, putting aside the fact you were doubting me, but this time you come out with all this talk of ghosts...
Musha, this guy's suspicious no matter how you look at it.* 俺はこの目で見た物しか信じないんだよ
くそっ、俺を騙ったかと思えば今度は幽霊がどうとか……
こいつどう考えても怪しいぞ、武者

 Agh, just wake up!
You're Shiga Naoya, but I'm also Shiga Naoya, alright!? We're both the same person.
And there are ghosts! I don't speak anything but truth! あー、いい加減にしろ！
お前も志賀直哉だけど、俺だって志賀直哉なんだよ！　同一人物だ
それに幽霊はいる！　俺は本当の事しか言ってねぇ！

*Hmmm, no matter how I look at him, he's definitely Shiga.
 It's almost as if he's split into clones.* うーん、どこからどう見ても、志賀だ
まるで二人に分裂したみたい

*Hey, don't say something so creepy!* ちょっ、怖い事言うなよ！

*This kind of thing was called a "doppelgänger", wasn't it?
If you meet your own doppelgänger, then you'll never be able to live in peace.* こういうの、確かドッペルゲンガーというんだったかな
自分のそれに出会ったらきっと、生きた心地がしないだろうね

\*appears\*

 Ah, Shiga!
Finally found y--- あ、志賀ー！
やっと見つけ……

*That voice just now... What?* いまの声って……え？

 Ah... あ……

*Ah, awawa... Another of me!* あ、あわわ……俺がもうひとり！

 It really gives you a fright to see another of yourself in reality!
Nice to meet you, it's me! Mushanokouji Saneatsu! じ、実際に見ると結構びっくりするね！
どうも、僕です！　武者小路実篤ですよ

*Ah, likewise!
I am also Mushanokouji Saneatsu!* あ、どうもご丁寧に
僕も武者小路実篤です！

*Hey, they're totally exchanging greetings normally...* 何、普通に挨拶しているんだよ……

*T-true...!
But, I guess if there's two of you, then it makes sense for there to be two of me, too.
I was surprised for sure, but maybe I was just so surprised that I couldn't register much shock or something like that...* た、確かに……！
でも、志賀が二人いるなら僕が二人いてもおかしくはないかもしれないし
驚きはしたんだけど、驚きすぎてあんまり驚けなかったというか

 Hey, Shiga... What on earth is going on here? ねぇ、志賀……いったいこれはどういうこと？

 Somehow I ended up meeting another me in this world, and I've been trying to explain the situation to them this whole time.
But, the me over there is suspicious of me. どうもこうも、俺と、この世界の俺が出会っちまったってことさ　それでさっきからずっと説明しようとしているんだ
が、そこにいる俺に怪しまれている

 I see. Well then, I'll give it a shot.
See, first of all... なるほどね。じゃあ今度は僕が説明するよ
えっと、まずは――

## Lessons - Assignment 6 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya & Shiga Naoya?

 So in other words, we came from another world to protect this world from the threat of Taints. というわけで、僕達は侵蝕者の脅威からこの世界を守るために別の世界から来たんだ

*I-I see... Is it that "parallel world" thing?* な、なるほどな……これパラレルワールドってやつ？

 (He understood? Musha sure did a fine job explaining it.) (納得したのか？　武者のやつ、上手いことまとめたな)

*I got the gist of it.
Still, you guys are pretty suspicious.* だいたい話はわかった
だが、お前らが怪しいのは変わらない

*I want to ask you guys about the ghosts... I mean, Taints.
If you guys can exterminate them, we would really appreciate it.* 僕はあの幽霊……じゃなくて、侵蝕者、だね
あれを退治してくれるというのならお願いしたいな

*Musha!* 武者！

*It does sound dangerous, though.
Can I ask you two to do that?* やっぱり、危ないだろうしね
二人に、頼んでもいいかい？

 Yeah, leave it to us! We came here to do that in the first place. おう、任せとけ！　そのつもりでここに来たからな

 I'll help, of course. It's for the sake of my ideals! 僕ももちろん、力になるよ。理想を叶えるためにも！

*Then, much obliged to you two.
Of course, I'll also do what I can.
 Shiga will help me too, right?* それじゃあ僕、それから志賀、よろしく頼んだよ
もちろん僕もできることはするつもりだから
志賀も手伝ってくれるよね？

*Hah, no way around it.
Bring it on!* ああ、しゃーねーな
やってやるよ！

 Right, then let's split up and look for those Taints.
Me and Musha will take care of the fighting... Ok, fake Musha!
You go with me. よし、じゃあ二手に分かれて侵蝕者を探そうぜ
戦えると俺と武者が別れて……よし、偽武者！
お前は俺と一緒に来い

 I'll go with fake Shiga then.
Hehe, pleased to work with you. じゃあ、僕と偽志賀が一緒だね！
ふふ、よろしく

*I'm not a fake!* 偽じゃねーよ！

## Lessons - Assignment 7 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya

 Yup, nothing here either...
Have you guys had any sightings of these white ghosts? うーん、どこにもいねーな……
白い幽霊の目撃情報って結構あるのか？

*Eh? Right, reportedly...?
It's my first time seeing one, though...* え？　そうだね、それなりに……？
僕はさっき見たのが初めてだったけど……

 You wanted to meet one and didn't even think about how you can actually do it? 出会おうと思って、ほいほい出会えるもんでもねーってことか

*Yeah, maybe we should just wander around and be optimistic.* うん、気長に探したほうがいいかもしれない

………………

*...What is it Shiga, is there anything on my face?* ……どうしたの志賀、僕の顔に何かついている？

 Nah, the more I look at you, the more you seem exactly like Musha.
Then again, of course you do. いや、見れば見るほど、武者そっくりだなと思ってな
まあ当たり前なんだろうが

*Fufu, Shiga is exactly like that Shiga too... Still, I wonder.
The appearance may be the same, but there might still be differences in personality.* ふふ、志賀も志賀そっくりだったけど……でも、どうだろう
似ているのは外面だけで、中身は案外ってこともあるかもしれないね

 Hmm.... Hey, can you ride a bicycle? ふーん……なあ、お前は自転車に乗れるのか？

*Eh? Bicycle? I... can't say I do.* え？　自転車？　自転車は……乗れないね

 Hah, I knew it. And you like to paint, right? Like painting vegetables, for one... はー、やっぱりな。ってことは絵も好きなんだろ？　野菜の絵とか描いたり……

*Eh!? How do you know that?
I see, so that version of me does that too...* えっ!?　なんでそれを？
……そうか、向こうの僕もそういうことをしているんだね……

 It amazes me that there's a world like this. こんな世界もあるんだなー、すごいな

*...That aside, I'm friends with Shiga in the other world too.* ……それより、別の世界でも僕と志賀は仲がいいんだね。そこに驚いてしまうよ

## Lessons - Assignment 8 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu & Shiga Naoya?

*Hey, Musha...
What kind of world do you guys live in?* なぁ、武者……
お前達の世界っていったいどんなところなんだ？

 Hm...
It's not that different from this one. うーん……
あまりここと見た目の変化はないかもしれない

*Then, normally there are stuff like schools over there as well?* じゃー、学校とかも普通にあるんだよな？

 Yeah, of course. I was also classmates with Shiga in the other world.
...Well, it was because of certain someone had to repeat school years.  うん、もちろん。こっちの世界でも、僕と志賀は同級生だったよ
……ま、誰かさんが落第したせいなんだけどね

*...! That's, really...* ……！　それは、やっぱり……

 Yeah, that's really Shiga. そう、やっぱり志賀が

*Haah... What the hell...* はぁ……なんだかな……

 And so, basically what we do is...
We're fighting to protect our world and our literature. それで、僕たちのやっていることだけど……
僕達は僕達の世界と、僕達の文学を守るために戦っているんだ

*Protect literature?* 文学を、守るために？

 If we don't fight, literature will fade away because of the Taints.
I can't let that happen. 僕達が戦わないと、いずれ侵蝕者によって文学は衰退してしまう
そんなのは絶対に許されないことだからね

*You're making such a serious face...
I don't really know about all that stuff, but...
Is beating the white ghosts part of your job too?* お前がそこまで真剣な顔をするってことは……
そういうことなんだな、よくわからねーけど
……白い幽霊を倒すってのも、それの一環だったりするのか

 Yeah, so... そうなんだ、だから……

 Hihi... ひひ……

 Shiga, watch out! 志賀、危ない！

*Wha!?* なっ!?

 Hihi... ひひ……

 Shiga, stand down! I'll fight...! 志賀は下がっていて！　僕が戦うから……！

*The white ghosts...! They, they're real...* 白い幽霊……！　ほ、本当にいたんだな……

 (...There are too many of them. Still, I have to do something!) (……数が多いな。それでも、ここは僕がどうにかしないと！)

*Wait, take me with you!* 待ってろ、いま俺を連れてくる！

 ...Here I go! ……いきますよ！

## Lessons - Assignment 9 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu & Shiga Naoya

 ...\*pant\*, \*pant\*... ……はあっ、はあっ

 Hihi... ひひ……

 Tch! You're quite obstinate, you know! くっ！　あなた、しつこいですよ！

 Hi... ひ……

 ――Are you alright, Musha!? ――大丈夫か、武者！

\*appears\*

 Ah, Shiga... Please take care of the rest! あっ、志賀……後はまかせた！

\*disappears\*

 Let's go, Musha... Oi! Not this again! 行くぞ武者って……おい！　またかよ武者ぁ！

 Hihi... ひひ……

 Take this! オラァ！

## Lessons - Assignment 10 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu & Shiga Naoya & Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya?

 Alright, this is finally it... The one we took down just now was probably the boss. よし、こんなもんなんだな……さっき倒したのが、たぶん親玉だ

*Thanks, Shiga... Also, other me.
It'd be great if the students don't have to be scared of these ghosts anymore.* ありがとう、志賀……それから、僕
これで怖い思いをする生徒がいなくなると思うと、嬉しいよ

*It's thanks to you guys that this world was saved.* お前達のおかげでこの世界は救われたんだな

 Ah, uh... Probably. あ、ああ……多分な

*Hey, other me... Sorry I doubted you earlier.* なあ、俺……さっきは怪しんで、悪かった

 Anyone would in these circumstances, don't think about it.
It's my bad too. あの状況なら誰だって疑うだろ、気にすんな
逆の立場なら僕も同じだったさ

*Well, you are me. Of course you'd understand.* まあ、お前も俺だもんな。気持ちはわかって当たり前か

 Shiga... We have to go soon... 志賀…そろそろ僕らは……

 Ah, right. Hey, fake me, fake Musha, we have to get back soon.
Enjoy your school life. ああ、そうだな。おい、偽俺、偽武者、俺達はもう戻らなきゃならねーんだ
しっかり学生生活を楽しめよ

 Yeah, especially Shiga, work hard at your studies. そうそう、特に志賀はお勉強を頑張ってね

*Oi!* おい！

*Fufu, you guys work hard at saving your world, too.
We'll cheer for you from this world.* ふふっ、そっちこそ世界を救うお仕事、頑張ってね
僕達もこちらの世界から応援しているよ

 Well then, I guess we gotta work at it. おう、しゃーねーからやってやるよ

 Then, see you again, other me. それじゃあ、またね？　僕

*Yeah, see you again.* うん、またね

 Fake me, don't fail your classes again, you hear! 偽俺、これ以上落第しねーようにな！

*I told you I'm not a fake!
...Well, I'll make better grades than you at least.* だから偽じゃねーって
……ま、お前よりはいい成績を残してやるよ

 Then, see you again in another time. じゃあな、またいつかどこかで

## Lessons - Assignment 11 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu? & Shiga Naoya? & Arishima Takeo?

*That said, it was pretty strange.* それにしても、不思議な事があるもんだな

*Yeah, in a day we found out about the truth about the white ghosts,
met our doppelgängers... Eh, what's that?* そうだね、今日一日で白い幽霊の正体に迫って、
お互いのドッペルゲンガーにも会って……って、あれ？

*Ah, Shiga-kun, Musha-san.* あ、志賀君、武者さん

*Oh, Arishima.
What are you doing here?* おお、有島じゃん
こんなところでどうしたんだ？

*There was some pretty loud noises earlier, no?
I thought something happened...* さっきものすごい音が聞こえただろう？
それで、何事かと思って……

*Ah, that's...?* ああ、それはな……？

*I can't believe it...
The white ghosts are actually Taints trying to remake this world,
and Shiga-kun and Musha-san's doppelgängers are fighting against them.* 信じられない……
白い幽霊の正体が、この世界を直そうとする侵蝕者で、
それと戦っているのが武者さんと志賀君のドッペルゲンガーだなんて

*Now that you say it, it sounds pretty unbelievable.
Still, we saw it happen with our own eyes.* 自分で言っといて、なかなか凄い話だよな
でも、俺達はしっかりこの目で見ちまったからな
疑いようもねーぜ

*Doppelgängers, from another world... huh.* 別の世界から来た、ドッペルゲンガー……かぁ

*Hey, maybe Arishima is in the other world too.
Just like us, you're fighting those Taints.* ねえ、もしかしたら向こうの世界に、有島もいるのかもね
あっちの俺達みたいに、侵蝕者と戦っていたりして

*Eh? A me from another world...?* えっ？　向こうの世界の僕……？

*Yeah! If we are there, Arishima should be too.* ああ！　俺達がいて、有島がいない道理がない

*I-is that so?* そ、そうなのか？

*Speak of the devil, there comes some white ghosts.* 答え合わせは、また白い幽霊が出た時だな

*Fufu, I'm really starting to enjoy this.* ふふっ、僕、なんだか楽しみになってきたよ

*Another me, huh.
It sounds very interesting, but...
Wouldn't it be better if the white ghosts didn't appear anymore? Ah, well.* もうひとりの僕、か
それにはとても興味がある、けれど……
……白い幽霊ってもう出ない方が良いんじゃ？　まあ、いいか

## Lessons - Assignment 12 - Mushanokouji Saneatsu & Shiga Naoya & Arishima Takeo

 That said, where did that Arishima go?
Surely not dozing off in some classroom, right...? それにしても、有島のやつはどこに行ったんだ？
よもやどっかの教室でうたた寝しているとか……

 He could be in the animal shed too. 動物の飼育小屋にいるっていう可能性もあるよね

 Hey, Shiga, Musha. おーい、志賀くーん、武者さーん

\*appears\*

 Eh? Arishima!
Hey, where the heck did you go? あれ？　有島！
お前、いったいどこに行っていたんだ？

 I don't know when, but I got lost.
I searched for you guys, but I got tired...
When I came to, I was dozing off in some classroom. 自分でもよくわからないうちに、はぐれてしまったんだ
二人を探していたんだけれど、だんだん疲れてきて……
それで気づいたら、どこかの教室でまどろんでいたみたいで

 Shiga got it right. 志賀、大当たりだね

 Yeah, glad you decided to join us in the land of the living.
Searching all the classrooms would be too annoying. ああ、起きてくれてよかったぜ
全部の教室を探すはめになるところだった

 I'm sorry... In the end I was just a burden, I feel really bad about it... すまない……結果的にサボタージュする形になってしまい、本当に悪いことをしたと思っている

 No, it's okay.
We successfully exterminated the Taints... I guess they're called white ghosts in this world. ううん、大丈夫だよ
侵蝕者……この世界で言うところの、白い幽霊はしっかり退治しておいたから

 Eh, you're done already? えっ、もう終わったのか？

 Yeah, we're done here.
Felt so weird to be meet my own doppelgänger. おう、ここでやれることは全てな
自分のドッペルゲンガーに遭遇したのはなかなか驚いたが

 ...That seems scary.
I wouldn't know what to say if I met mine. ……それは肝をつぶしおそうだね。僕が自分に出会ったら、絶句してしまいそうだ

 I would've wanted to meet fake Arishima.
He'll probably be just as delicate. 僕は偽有島に会ってみたかったな
きっと同じくらい繊細なんだろうね

 ...I'm glad I took a nap instead. ……やっぱり僕はうたた寝をしていてよかったみたいだ

## Lessons - Ending - Aka & Ao

 So, an abnormal situation occurred where we met a fake version of ourselves. で、ニセモノと、われわれ本物が出会ってしまう、という異常事態が起きた……そうだ

 I see... It seems the state of the book affects the state of its residents.
I'm glad everyone is alright. なるほど……やはり本の状態はその世界の状態と関連があるようですね
みなさん無事で良かったです

 They didn't die, like the urban legends said they would by meeting their doppelgängers.
I didn't experience it myself... but it seems they had fun. 都市伝説みたいにニセモノに出会って死ぬこともなかった
僕は経験してないから分からないが……とにかく楽しかったみたいだ

 That's amazing! You don't usually get the chance to meet yourself, y'know? Man, if I had another me, all these research...
That would be nice... すごいじゃん！　自分に会えるなんて、なかなか経験できないぜ？　いいなあ、自分がもうひとりいたら、研究もは
かどるだろうなあ……

 We'll look further into this book.
We feel like there are a lot of alchemical theories we still don't know about. 今回の本については僕たちも詳しく調べてみます
我々がまだ知らない、錬金術の理論が隠されている気がしますからcal

 Yeah, we'll be busy from now on. そうだな、これは忙しくなりそうだぜ

 Yes... I'll leave you to it. ああ……よろしく
