Hero 「Whoa...」
Marica 「How many stories IS that tower?! How did they build it?!」
Hotupa 「So that's what the Tower of the Way looks like..., I heard it was tall, but I didn't think THIS tall.」
Erin 「Order Headquarters is in that tower, right?」
Jale 「So where's this "best library in the world"?」
Hotupa 「Oh, yes. They say that's inside the tower too.」
Hero 「Well, we can't just stand here gapin'. Let's go!」

+++++++++++

Hero 「Huh?」
Would-Be Gallant 「Hmm? Well, HELLO, beautiful ladies!」  
Marica 「Hi?」  
Erin 「Hello...」  
Would-Be Gallant 「Meeting two ladies like you makes this dreary city feel like a tropical paradise!」  
Hero 「Who are you?」  
Would-Be Gallant 「My apologies. The beauty of these ravishing creatures is so dazzling that I have been blinded to all else. Especially men.」  
Hero 「Sounds like you can see me just fine.」  
Erin 「Well, we...」  
Marica 「We wouldn't want to be a bother.」  
Would-Be Gallant 「Where would you like to go? There's so much to see in this city!」  
Hero 「He's not listenin'.」  
??? 「Hey, dissident! Hold it right there!」  
Hero 「Huh?!」  
Would-Be Gallant 「Oops! They're here!」  
Order Soldier 「You again?! You're one of our worst repeat offenders!」  
Order Soldier 「A person's life partner is predetermined! But you! You hit on every woman in sight! Don't you understand the principles of the Order?!」  
Would-Be Gallant 「My apologies, beautiful ladies, but I'm afraid it's time for me to go.  My name is Icas! We shall meet again someday! Be sure of it!」  
Order Soldier 「Huh?! He's getting away!」  
Order Soldier 「Wait. He's very sneaky. He might just be pretending to run away, and he'll come back! If he commits that kind of dissidence in the Tower of the Way again, it'll be a serious scandal! I'll go after him! You go close up the Tower of the Way!」  
Order Soldier 「Got it!」

Hero「What was that all about?」
Erin「I wonder...」
Hero「There are some pretty weird people in big cities like this.」
Marica「But did you notice what one of those soldiers said?」
Erin「"A person's life partner is predetermined" ?」
Marica「That caught my ear too. But the other thing.」
Jale「"Close up the Tower of the Way" ?」
Hotupa「Exactly. That's going to be a problem for us.」
Hero「C'mon! Let's go check it out!」

Order Soldier「The Tower is closed today while the search for the dissident is carried out.
If you have business here, come back again tomorrow.」

Hero「Dammit! We came all this way and now we can't get inside the tower?!」
Marica「And it's all because of that dimwit! Him and his "beautiful ladies"! Grrr!」
Hotupa「Well, I guess there's nothing we can do now. Let's stay at inn tonight and come back tomorrow.」
Jale「.........」
Hero「What's the matter, Jale?」
Jale「I saw an Order soldier in that alley over there.」
Marica「Maybe he arrested that dimwit?」

Order Soldier「...This is not good, Savina. They just started searching for another dissident.
If they find out about us, we'll be punished as dissidents too.」
Savina「But what do you want me to do?! You're the only one for me!
I couldn't stand to have any other "life partner" !」
Order Soldier「Savina...」
Savina「Or am I the only one  who feels that way , Darrow?
Do you want  to stop seeing me and marry whoever the Order tells you to?」
Darrow「Of course not!!! You know I don't  want that!
But... What should we do...? We're doomed...」
Hero「Why's that?」
Savina「Eeek!」
Darrow「They caught us?!」
Marica「You big dummy! What did you have to talk to them for?!」
Hero「W-well, I just thought...」
Marica「We're sorry! We're not going to tell the Order on you two, so don't mind us!」
Darrow「C'mon, savina! This way!」
Savina「O-okay!」
Marica「Darn.There they go.」
Hotupa「Love forbidden by the Order must be all the sweeter.」
Erin「I feel sorry for them, having to sneak around like that.」
Hero「The Order, this city -- none of it makes aniy sense!」

+++++++++++

???「No! Lemme go!」
???「You're only making things worse for yourself!」
Hero「Huh?」
Erin「It sounds like a child and an adult arguing.」
Jale「Sounds pretty serious.」
Marica「Where's it coming from?」
Hotupa「Inside that shop, I believe.」

Order Soldier「Come along! Stop resisting!」
Boy「No! Lemme go! Lemme go! Dad, help me! I didn't do anything!」
Hero「Hey! What are ya doin' to that kid?!」
Order Soldier「Huh? Who are you?!」
Clerk「Please! Stay out of this! He committed a sin! He has to go!」
Boy「D-Dad...」
Hero「A sin?」
Order Soldier「You heard him. Now get outta the way!」
Hero「Hey...」
Boy「No! Nooo!」
Hero「Hey, man! What do ya mean, a little kid like that "committed a sin" ?!」
Clerk「He said he wanted to join the Wanderers and travel the world pedding goods...
He, said it right out loud...」
Marica「That's it? That's a sin?!」
Hotupa「I beg your pardon?! What's wrong with wanting, to be a Wanderer?!」
Clerk「You aren't from around here, are you? Then you might not understand...
I'm not saying being a Wanderer in itself is wrong. But when your future job is predetermined...
...wanting to be something else is considered dissident thinking, against the Order's principles.」
Hero「What?!」
Erin「Even little kids get arrested for something like that here?!」
Clerk「But it's not like they're going to be put on trial or punished or anything.
They're just going to be re-taught the principles of the Order in the Tower of the Way.」
Hero「And you're okay with this?!」
Clerk「It doesn't matter if I like it or not.
My son's straying from the path and being re-educated...
Both were predetermined long ago.」
Hero「What...?」
Marica「Are you saying your son wanting to be a Wanderer and travel around the world was predetermined,too?!」
Clerk「Of course.」
Jale「But that would mean people have no real will or emotions of their own, just like puppets.」
Clerk「That's absolutely right.
We don't know the future, so we're under the illusion that we have our own wills and emotions.」
Hero「B-but... that's crazy! How can you people be okay with thinkin' ya ain't nothing but puppets?!」
Clerk「We're not okay with it. That's why we wait for the day when the One True Way will be realized.」
Marica「The day the One True Way will be realized? What does that mean?」
Clerk「Outsiders like you wouldn't understand. If you want to know more, why don't you join the Order?」
Hero「.........」



【日本版】

主人公 「うわ~~~~~…」
マリカ 「あ、あの塔って何階建て!? どうやって建てたの!?」
ホツバ 「あれがしるべの塔でやすか…高いとは聞いてやしたがこんなにとは…」
エリン 「あそこに協会の本部があるんですね…」
ジェイル 「世界一の図書館ってのは?」
ホツバ 「へ、へい、それもあの塔の中だって話でやす。」
主人公 「ビビっててもしょうがねえ。行くか!」
