Bakekujira

* Summon

## Profile

He's the spirit of a dead baby whale who died alone after his mother left him. On rainy nights, he often goes to human villages to look for his mother. There, he plays his conch on fishermen's wives, whom he believed as his mother, luring them into the sea and drowning them. When he's all by himself again, he retreats into the dark sea and waits for another rainy night.

僕が一緒に海へ帰りたいと母上にい言うと、母上は困ったように笑いながら首を振り、僕の髪をなでた。
どうして？
母上が怪しげな船に連れて行かれて、戻ってきたときからなにかが変だった。
まるで知らない人のように思えた。船に乗っていたやつらは母上に一体何をしたんだ？
どうして母上は僕と一緒に海に返ろうとしないんだろう？
長い間姿を変えていたせいで、もう元に戻れなくなったの？
あっ、もしかして、人間が好きだからここを離れたくないのかな？
でもそんなわけないよ。だって母上は言ってたもの。一番好きなのは僕だって！

When I spoke to Mother about my wish to return to the sea together with her, she looked bewildered, shook her head, and tapped me on the head with a smile. What had happened?
Mother had a strange look when she looked at me, as if she didn't recognize me at all after being taken away by those strange ships. As if she were meeting me for the first time. What had they done to her on that ship? Why did Mother refuse to return to the sea with me? Was it because she had stayed too long in her shape-shifted form, and could no longer regain her original body? Or was it because she liked the humans now and didn't want to leave them? But that's impossible. Because Mother said that I was the love of her life!
 **Bio 2**
母上の部屋からはご飯を炊く火の明かりが漏れていた。僕はそれを遠くから眺めていた。
とても暖かそうだった。いつか、母上と一緒に海を泳いでいたとき、水面を照らしていた太陽を思い出す。この雨ももうすぐやむ。
一人ぼっちの漆黒の海には、もう帰りたくない……。
この前は断られちゃったけど、僕にはわかる。母上はきっと、一緒にきてくれるって！
手に持ったほら貝が、懐かしい曲を奏でた。
やがて母上がよろよろと家から出てきて、砂浜へと向かってくる。
こんな雨の夜に、母上の動きに気付く人はいない。
やった！これで誰にも邪魔されることなく、母上と海に帰れる！
波がゆっくりと、母上の膝、腰、胸を飲み込んでいく。
最後に大波が来て、ついに母上の姿は見えなくなった。

I looked from afar at the stove fire in the house where Mother was cooking.
It reminded me of the days spent swimming in the sea with Mother, under a sun that shone down as warmly as that cooking fire. The rain was about to stop, but the thought of returning to that dark sea all alone made me shiver. I knew that Mother had seemingly refused me, but I also knew that she would go with me if she had to! I knew that for sure! I played the tune I knew best with the conch in my hand. I saw Mother walk out from the room, shambling towards the shoreline. In the dark. rainy night, no one seemed to notice what she was doing. That was good! No one would be here to stop me from taking Mother back to the sea! Water covered her knees, her waist, her chest. She disappeared as a giant wave came crashing down upon the shore.
 **Bio 3**
次の日、僕は「母上」を岸へと送り届けた。
間もなく、漁師の格好をした人間の男が、仲間を連れて飛んできた。
その男は砂浜に横たわる人の顔を見ると、地面に崩れ落ちてしばらく呆然としていた。
そして慌てて、全身びしょ濡れになった「母上」の死体を抱え上げ、大声を上げて泣いた。
僕は海面から黙ってその様子をしばらく眺めていた。
それから踵を返して泣き声を後にし、漆黒の海へと帰って行った。

The next day, I sent "Mother" back ashore. Moments later, a man who looked like a fisherman ran towards her with his companions. When he recognized the face of the woman lying on the shore, he dropped to the ground. He looked distraught, held the soaking wet body of "Mother" in his arms and started sobbing.
I looked at them from the sea in silence for a while before diving back down into the murky depths, leaving the crying behind.
