It's another town, this one nicer than most, and there's also a castle nearby. Two boys and a girl stand near the town's entrance, where a scene begins that should look familiar to anyone who watched the opening...
見せてやるよ。
something good.
show you something
interesting.
They throw something that looks like a snake at her.
きゃーっ！ヘビ!?
Eeeek! A snake!?
Eeeek! A snake!
ただのロープだよ！
look, it's just a rope!
It's just a rope!
あはははっ！
A ha ha hah!
Lemmy! Hee, hee, hee!
わ～ん!!
Waaaah!!
Whaa! Sniff, sniff!
A woman rushes to the scene. She wears what appears to be blue armor, and her slightly bluish green hair is in a ponytail that extends to about her shoulders.
いじめちゃだめでしょ!!
for boys to pick on girls!!
You're supposed to
be nice to girls!!
The boys run off as well as they can manage in their haste. Selena comes closer to comfort Lamity.
セレナお姉ちゃ～ん。
あ～ん、あ～ん。
Selenaaaa!
Waaaah, waaaah!
Selen...Whaaa!
Whaaa! Sniff, sniff!
ラミティ。もう泣かないの。
Lamity. Don't cry any more.
Stop crying, Lemmy.
だって……だって……。
But... but...
But...but...
いいラミティ。
いじめた子も悪いけど、女の子は、
カンタンに泣いちゃダメなのよ。
Listen, Lamity.
It's wrong of them to pick on you,
but a girl mustn't cry easily, either.
Listen, Lemmy. It's not
right for them to bully
you, but girls shouldn't
cry so easily either.
……どうして？
男の子は泣いちゃダメだけど、
女の子は泣いてもいいって
お父さん言ってたよ。
...why?
Daddy said that boys can't
cry, but it's okay for girls
to cry, you know?
Why...? My daddy said
boys shouldn't cry,
but girls can.
いい。女の涙はね――男の涙なんか
とは、くらべものにならないほど重い
のよ。
Listen. A woman's tears—they're so
much more meaningful than a man's
tears you can't even compare them.
Hey, listen. A woman's
tears..mean a lot
more than a guy's.
……重いの？
...meaningful?
...a lot more?
そうよ。だから、カンタンに
泣いちゃダメなの。わかる？
Right. That's why you mustn't
cry so easily. Understand?
That's right. So you
shouldn't cry easily.
Save your tears.
Do you understand?
……よくわかんない。
......I don't really get it.
...Well...no.
もう少し大きくなったらわかるわよ。
……さて、それじゃ私は、お城に
もどるわ。もう泣いちゃダメよ。
You'll understand once you grow up a bit.
......now then, I'm going back to the
castle. Don't cry anymore.
You will, when you
grow older. I have to
go back to the castle.
Don't cry, okay!?
……うん。
...okay.
...Alright.
Selena leaves for the castle. But who is she?
セレナお姉ちゃんは、兵隊さんたちの
隊長をやってるのよ。
とっても強いんだから。
Selena's the commanding
officer of the soldiers.
It's 'cause she's reeeally strong.
Selan is the commander.
She's super strong!
Oh. Okay. The boys are wandering around another part of town, and I think that what they say is amusing, so here it is:
イタズラしたくなるんだよな。
どうしてかな？
me want to pull some kind of prank.
I wonder why?
I just want to tease
her. I don't know why.
からかってみたくなるんだよ。
べ、べつにキライなわけじゃ
ないんだよ。
me want to try and tease her.
It-it's not like I hate her or anything.
I can't help teasing her.
But it doesn't mean
I don't like her.
And then there's this:
この街じゃ名物なのよ。
なんでも、昔、命をすくわれた
事があるんですって。
with Selena? They're famous here in town.
Apparently their lives were saved by her
once upon a time, or so I hear.
who are totally nuts
over Selan? She saved
them before, I hear.
The two of them seem to have a problem with obsessiveness, and lack of self-awareness.
あこがれなんだ。
強くて、やさしくて……いいなぁ。
おい、お前たち。
あねごにちょっかい
だすんじゃねーぞ！
She's so strong, and kind... ahhh.
Hey, you guys.
Don't you dare go
messing with milady!
heroine. She's strong
and sweet. She's
just so great.
Hey, you guys. Don't
even think about going
after Madam Selan,
alright!?
姉御 (anego), a respectful term for an older sister, is used affectionately here. As usual, it doesn't mean they're actually related. It also feels kind of... affected and unnatural? It's unusual, anyway, and I think it makes them sound more like creepy stalkers than they would otherwise.
さみしがりやなんですよ。
もちろん、そんなそぶりは見せない
けど、なんとなく、わかるんです。
俺が、もっとしっかりしてれば、
あねごを守ってやれるんだけど、
……今の俺じゃ、ぎゃくに守って
もらいかねないんです。
type that gets lonely easily.
Of course, she doesn't show
it, but somehow I can tell.
Were I but more dependable,
I could protect milady, but...
...as I am now, I fear I might need
to have her protect me instead.
a fragile person. Of
course she doesn't
show it, but I know so.
Were I stronger, I could
protect Madam Selan.
Right now, it's like
she's protecting me.
Interesting as that may have been, there's really nothing to do in town (except shop and rest) after the scene with Selena.
| パーセライト城 | Parcelyte Castle | |
Parcelyte Castle |

Selena and a number of soldiers occupy the castle courtyard, apparently training. Selena is facing off with one of the generic soldiers.
さぁ、行くわよ！
Now, here we go!
Here I come!
Selena and the soldier spar briefly, but it's only moments before she blasts him to the far side of the courtyard. Ouch.
どうしたの？そのていどのウデじゃ
城を守る事なんてできないわよ。
What's wrong? With that level of skill,
you can't possibly defend the castle.
That's it? Is that all
you can do? You really
think you can protect
the castle like that?
まぁ、それでもだいぶ
強くなってきたわよ。
これからも、訓練を続ければ、
もっと強くなれるわ。
Well, even so, you've gotten
quite a bit stronger.
If you keep up with your practice,
you'll be able to grow stronger.
Well, you're improving.
You'll have to keep
practicing, that's all.
ありがとうございます。
Thank you!
Commander? Thank you,
I will!
さて、これで全員の訓練が終った
わね。それじゃ、私は部屋にいるから
何かあったら、知らせてちょうだい。
Now, that finishes practice for all members.
I'll be in my room, then, so I'd ask that you
let me know if something comes up.
Right, I think that's
all of you. I'll be in
my room. Call
me if you need me.
なかなかやるじゃねーか、あの女。
なぁマキシム？
Phew, that woman ain't half bad.
Right, Maxim?
She's pretty good,
huh! Don't you think
so, Maxim?
えっ、ああ……そうだな。
Hm? Yeah...... you're right.
What? Well,
yeah...I guess.
ウデっぷしだけじゃなくて、
スタイルもバツグンだったよな。
あんないい女、そうはいねーぜ！
なぁマキシム？
And it's not just her strength,
she cut a fine figure, too.
Ain't many women that good!
Right, Maxim?
Her skill is one thing,
but the way she looks--
whew! You don't see such a
pretty woman very often.
Among other things, Guy talks about Selena's スタイル (SUTAIRU). This could mean her fighting style even or fashion sense, but in this context he most likely means her figure—in short, he's admiring her body.
そ、そうだな。
Y-yeah.
I guess not.
もぅ！男ってちょっとキレイな
人を見るとすぐこれなんだから！
ガイさん。今の事、ジェシーさんに
いいつけますよ！
Oh! Any time you men see someone
the least bit pretty, it's straight to this!
Guy. I'm telling on you to Jessie
about this!
Men! One look at a
pretty face and you're
jellied! And what's Jessy
going to think, Guy?
ちょ、ちょっとまってくれティア。
ナイショにしといてくれよ。
ティアの方が、今の女より、ずっと
カワイイからさ。な？
H-hold on a minute, Tia.
Keep it just between us.
You're much cuter than that
woman just now, okay?
Wait a minute, Tia!
Don't be so cruel. You
know I think you're
much prettier, so please!
今さら、ごきげんとっても
ダメですよ。
It's a little late to try buttering
me up.
Too late, kiddo. I'm
not going to buy that!
あんまりイジメるなよ
ティア。
Don't be so hard on him, Tia.
Come on, Tia!
That's enough.
なによ。マキシムだって
デレーっと見てたじゃない！
Excuse me! Weren't you looking
all lovestruck at her yourself?
What do you mean?
You were the same.
Your tongue was about
to hit the ground.
そ、そんな事ないぞ。
O-of course not!
That's not true!
……まぁ、いいわ。
たしかに、女のあたしから見ても
ステキな人に見えたから。
...oh, all right.
Even from my perspective as a woman,
she certainly looked like a lovely person.
Well, alright. I guess
I thought she was
pretty too.
……しかし、女であそこまで
強いってのはめずらしいな。
...but to be that strong sure is
a rare thing for a woman.
I don't think I've
ever seen such
a strong woman.
……そうだな。
...sure is.
Yeah, me neither...
Well, after that, it would seem to make sense to go around and talk to the soldiers. Or maybe it's just me.
いたのが、セレナ隊長です。

She is the strongest person

She has been strong since her youth.
In short, she has a gift for combat.
I think. She was strong

she's a genius in battle!

Commander Selena is that much
of a strong and great person.
strong and great!
We're proud to have
a female Commander.
As they explore the castle, the party comes across Selena's room. She lives with an older woman who has mint green hair, presumably a relative.
それいらい、私が育ててきたのだけど、
本当に、りっぱに育ってうれしいよ。
あとは、いいおムコさんを
見つけるだけだねぇ。
もっとも、本人はその気が
ないみたいだけどね。
I've brought her up ever since, but
I'm truly glad she grew up so fine.
The only thing I have left to do is
to find her a good husband.
But then, she herself doesn't seem
to have any interest in that.

little girl. I raised her
after that.
It's so rewarding
to see her turn into
such a wonderful woman.
Now she needs to find
a good man. But
I guess she's not
interested right now.
あら、あなたたちは、さっき
訓練を見ていた人ですね。
私に何かご用ですか？
Ah, you would be the people who
were watching us practice earlier.
Did you need me for something?
Oh, it's you guys. You
were watching the
training before, right?
What brings you here?
Enough wandering around... it's time to go see the king. Since, you know, that's what you do, I guess.
マキシム殿ではないのか!?
chance be sir Maxim!?
to be Sir Maxim!?
はい、そうですが……。
でも、どうして私の名を？
Yes, that is me...
But why would you know my name?
Yes, I am Maxim.
But how did you know
my name, Your Majesty?
盗まれた王冠を見事に取り返した
一件を聞いたのじゃ。
その後も、旅を続けていると聞いて、
いつか、ここにも来てくれるのでは
ないかと楽しみにしておったのじゃ。
ところで、そなたのウデをみこんで
ひとつ、そうだんがあるのじゃが、
ぜひ聞いてはくれぬか？
what a magnificent job you did in
recovering the stolen crown.
Hearing that you were continuing your
journey, I have been hoping that you
might also come here.
And so, I have a proposal for
you that calls for your skill.
You will listen, of course?
of Alunze that you
had recaptured the
stolen crown.
I heard that you had gone
on a journey. I hoped
you'd visit my country,
too. Welcome.
Knowing your skills,
I have a favor to ask.
Will you accept?
Sure, why not? It's not like they're in the middle of anything...
いや実はな、この城の北に神殿がある
のじゃが、そこに宝剣が、かくされて
いるとのウワサがあるのじゃ。
だが、北の神殿は、いつのまにか
モンスターどもの住みかになって
おってな。手がだせんのじゃ。
じゃが、お主たちなら、モンスターを
倒しながら、宝剣を探しだす事も、
出来るじゃろう。
もちろん、宝剣を見つけてくれれば、
そうおうの礼はいたすぞ。
どうじゃ、引き受けてはくれんか？
Well, actually, you see, there's a temple to
the north of this castle, and rumor has it
that a Treasure Sword is hidden there.
But the northern temple became a den of
monsters at some point. We can't handle it.
If you go, though, I expect you'll be able
to beat the monsters as you seek out and
retrieve the Treasure Sword, correct?
Of course, if you find the Treasure Sword
for me, I will give you a suitable reward.
Now then, won't you accept?
It's rumored that the
Treasure Sword is hidden
in a fortress up north.
The problem is that
monsters live there,
so no one can get in.
With your ability, I
believe you could
defeat the monsters
and find the sword.
Of course, I will
reward you for your
efforts, should you
succeed. Do you accept?
Maxim agrees to try. Why not?
よし、ちょっと待っておってくれ。
……おい、ゼッペル！
Good, wait just a moment.
...oh, Zeppel!
moment. Oh...Zepel!
One of the people standing nearby approaches the king.
お呼びでしょうか？
You called?
Yes, Your Majesty.
かしこまりました。
Certainly.
Yes, Your Majesty.
He leaves the throne room briefly and returns with Selena.
お呼びでしょうか、陛下。
You called, Your Majesty?
Your Majesty.
と同行して、北の神殿へ行ってくれ。
and go to the northern temple.
go with Maxim to
the North Fortress.
北の神殿……それは、
宝剣の探索の事ですか？
Northern temple...... does this concern
the search for the Treasure Sword?
The North Fortress? Is
it about the Treasure
Sword, if I may ask?
宝剣の探索ならば私と部下の者で、
じゅうぶんにすいこうできます。
なにも、旅の方の手をかりなくても。
I and my subordinates are prefectly cabable of
carrying out the search for the Treasure Sword.
We need not beg assistance from a traveler.
If I may. My troops and I
can find the sword. I
don't believe we need
the help of a traveler.
そなたは確かに強い剣士じゃ。
だが、それゆえに、他人の力を
かりるのをこばむクセがある。
よいか。人間は助け合う事が大切なの
じゃ。一人ではできぬ事も、力をあわ
せれば出来る。
その事を、この探索でまなんでほしい。
You are a skilled with a sword, to be sure.
However, you have a bad habit of refusing
to accept help from others because of it.
Listen. It is important for people to help each
other. If you join forces, you can accomplish
even things you cannot do alone.
I want you to learn that in this search.
are a strong warrior. But
because of this, you tend
to act all on your own.
Remember, people must help
each other. Two heads are
always better. Understand
this on your journey.
…………。
............
The NA script has a few errors here. Selena's line above is missing, and she says the king's next line. Oops.
マキシム殿に同行し
宝剣の探索を命ずる。
I command you to accompany sir Maxim
and search for the Treasure Sword.
more time. I order
you to search for the
sword with Maxim.
し、しかし陛下――
B-but, Your Majesty—
Bu...but, Your Majesty!
復唱 (fukushou) refers to repeating back what someone else said in order to ensure that the message got across correctly.
は、はい!!
マキシム殿に同行し、
宝剣探索の任につきます！
Y-yes, sir!!
I accept the duty of accompanying sir Maxim
and searching for the Treasure Sword!
No, Your Majesty! I
will go with Maxim
and pursue my mission!
セレナを同行させるがよろしいかな？
もちろん、探索のリーダーはそなたに
やってもらうが。
Selena may accompany you, I trust?
Of course, I will have you act as
the leader on the search.
will go with you. Any
problems with that?
You may lead the party.
私は別にかまいませんが。
I have no particular objections.
I don't have any
problems with that,
Your Majesty.
よいかセレナ。これは、命令される
気持ちを理解するにも、いい機会
じゃぞ。
それでは、良い知らせを
待っておるぞ。
Listen, Selena. This is also a good
opportunity to understand how it
feels to be the one taking orders.
Now then, I will be waiting for
the good news.
is a great chance to
experience being under
another's command.
Well then, I wish
you all the luck
in the world!
Selena stalks out of the throne room. The others follow and meet her outside the door.
マキシムさんと
言いましたね。
Your name was Maxim?
You're Maxim, right?
ええ。
Yes.
Yes.
他の方たちは？
And the other persons?
How about the others?
彼は、ガイ。
タンベルで知り合い一緒に旅を
しています。
そして、彼女はティアです。
He is Guy.
We met in Tanbel and
are traveling together.
And she is Tia.
This is Guy. We met in
Tanbel and have been
traveling together
since. And this is Tia.
はじめまして。
It's nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you!
……マキシムさん。
一言、言っておきますが、
私はまだ、あなたをみとめていません。
もちろん陛下の命令ですから、宝剣探索
に関しては、あなたにしたがいます。
ですが、それ以外の事に関しては、
あなたはしたがう気はありません。
...Maxim.
I want to make it clear to you that
I have not yet accepted you.
I will, of course, follow His Majesty's orders and
do as you say for the Treasure Sword search.
However, I have no interest in obeying you
when it comes to anything else.
Maxim. Let me just say
one thing. I haven't
accepted you yet.
The King ordered me
to follow your lead, so
I will. But that's all
you can count on.
ずいぶんハッキリと
言ってくれますね。
You say that quite bluntly.
You're pretty
straightforward,
aren't you?
気にさわりましたか？
でも、言い直すつもりは
ありません。
Did I hurt your feelings?
I have no intention of correcting
myself, though.
I intend no offense
but, yes, I tend to
speak my mind.
いいですよ。あなたがおもしろくない
のは、わかります。
……しかし、どうすれば、あなたに
みとめてもらえますか？
Very well. I understand that
this is not amusing for you.
......what should I do to get
you to accept me, though?
Well, that's alright. I
know you don't like this
situation. But what can
I do to gain your trust?
ただ強いだけじゃ、私はみとめません。
これだけは、言っておきます。
I will not accept you for mere strength
alone. That much, I will tell you.
Strength is not the
answer, I can tell
you that.
……むずかしいですね。
...difficult, aren't you.
Hmm, tough, huh!?
…………。
............
......
まぁカタイ話は、これくらいにしと
こうぜ。セレナさんって言ったっけ？
とにかく、宝剣を見つけるまでは、
よろしくたのむぜ。
Hey now, let's leave off with the
stuffy talk. Selena, was it?
Anyhow, until we find the Treasure
Sword, we're counting on you.
Hey, that's enough! Selan,
right? Welcome to the
party! We'll find the
sword together.
After Selena's almost painfully formal speech and Maxim's normal formal, it's rather refreshing to have Guy jump in, as informal as always, yet managing to be fairly respectful... well, for him, anyway.
わかってます。
それが私の使命ですから……。
Understood.
For that is my mission...
Of course. That's my
mission.
It almost seems like Selena's trying to be a bit less formal here... she makes the common verbal omission of leaving out the い (i) that わかっています (wakatte imasu) should properly include. Or maybe she's just trying to do as little as possible while still technically going along with him.
使命ねぇ……なんかカタイけど、
まぁいいか。
とにかく、仲良くやろうぜ。な！
Mission, huh... that's kinda
stuffy, but hey, whatever.
Anyhow, let's all get along, okay?
Mission, huh? That sounds
awfully serious. But
anyway, good to have
you on board.
Before leaving, let's stop by Selena's room...
一緒にいるなんてめずらしいね。
それに、けっこういい男じゃない！
to see you with a man.
And what a fine man he is, too!
unusual. You with a
man?! And he's a
doll, too, this one!
もう、おばさんったら。
これは、陛下の命令なのよ。
Cut it out, auntie.
This is on his majesty's orders.
Stop it, Auntie! This is
business. We're under
orders from the King.
でも、まんざらでも
ないんじゃない。
But you're not so upset as
you're letting on, are you?
you're not completely
uninterested, are you?
まんざらでもない (manzara de mo nai) literally translates roughly to "not utterly", and is used in the sense of something not being altogether bad. However, it also has a connotation of pretending to be upset by something while actually not minding it at all, or even preferring it that way. Basically, Selena's presumed relative is saying, "You can act like you don't want him around all you want, but we both know better. Mmm, check out that sweet ass."
Well, regardless of what anyone thinks about the situation, it's time to head for the temple.
