Long, Dark, White Road

	永く暗く白い道中	Long, Dark, White Road
	美禄を訪ねて三千里、闡裡の道も一歩から。暗中摸索の遊覧飛行。今も昔も蛇と鳥は互いに違う。蛇の瞳は鏡のように、蛇の尾は劔のように、蛇の体は玉のように鳥の瞳は規矩のように、鳥の尾は秤のように、それでは鳥の翼は．．．？それを知るのはあなただけ。	3000 leagues in search of liquor.^[a] A journey along the Senri Road, too, begins with a single step.^[b] Aerial sightseeing blindly in the dark. Snakes and birds have been different from each other since long ago. A snake's eye is like a mirror, a snake's tail is like a sword, and a snake's body is like a jewel.^[c] A bird's eye is like a meter, a bird's tail is like a scale, and so a bird's wings are...? Only you know that.
	BGM: 瞬きを埋める雪色の勝景	BGM: The Snow-colored View that Buries the Instant
	Lumen Celeritas ENTERS
Lumen	ピッカァーん！	Pikaaaaan!
Tsubakura	やれやれ、酔っ払いか・・・随分と愉快なもんだ	Good grief, a drunkard...? You sure seem to be having fun.
Lumen	えっへっへっへ、ドッカーーンッ☆☆♪	Eh heh heh heh heh~. KABOOOOOOM! ☆☆♪
	Lumen Celeritas DEFEATED
Tsubakura	〜♪	~♪
Tsubakura	・・・・・・・・	...
Tsubakura	分解完了	Decomposition complete.
Tsubakura	はー、なかなか良い酒だったなぁ〜外の世界でも手に入ればいいなぁ	Whew. That sure was a nice brew, really~. Sure wish we could get this stuff in the outside world, too...
Tsubakura	それにしてもさっきのバカはほっといて良かったのかね？	That aside, was it really okay for me to leave that idiot alone back there?
Tsubakura	むこうの方で山が２〜３座ほど吹き飛んでたが・・・	They blew up about 2 or 3 entire mountains over that way...
Tsubakura	まぁ天気なのに雪が降って積もるような場違いな異常気象だし	Well, there is this bizarre weather happening, too. Snow is piling up even though the sky's totally clear...
Tsubakura	面倒なことになる前に早く帰って続き呑も〜っと♪	Better leave an' get back to drinking before something obnoxious happens. ♪
???	無事に帰れたら・・・ね	If you can leave safely... that is.
Tsubakura	あん？	Ah?
	Adagumo no Saragimaru ENTERS
???	結論から述べると、君は今夜家には帰れないんだけどね	If I may start from the conclusion, you won't be returning home tonight.
Tsubakura	んーっと？　もしかして口説き文句のつもり？	Mmmm... mmkay? Are you trying to flirt with me or something?
???	目に映る空の表情は人を惑わすこんな日の雪の色は、朱を映えさせる	The sky's hues confound the humans whose eyes reflect them. The white of tonight's snow will bring out a deep vermillion.
Tsubakura	じゃあこの天気雪はお前さんの仕業ってか？・・・っで、ダレだおまえ？	So, like, you mean this snowy sunshower is your doing? ...Well, just who are you?
???	死に逝く者に名乗ったところで無益極まりない	Introducing myself to someone soon to be dead would be the height of futility.
Tsubakura	その形相、服、口調・・・なんだっけな〜？	That face, that getup, that speech... where've I seen those before, I wonde~r?
???	だけど、冥途の土産とも言うし、教えとくのもまた一興かな・・・	One could also call it a parting gift for your journey to the Netherworld, though, so telling you my name could be interesting in its own way...
Tsubakura	あぁ分かった八尾呂智の親戚か何かか、どうせ『サラギマル』とかいう名前なんだろ^[d]	Right, got it, you're a relative of Yaorochi's or something. Your name's probably, like, "Saragimaru" or whatever.
	最後の瞳徒雲蛇穴丸	Final Eye Adagumo no Saragimaru
Saragimaru	『徒雲蛇穴丸(さらぎまる)』・・・・・どこかで聞いたことある響きじゃ^[e]・・・って、あれ？	"Adagumo no Saragimaru"... I feel like I've heard that name before somewhere... wait, huh?
Tsubakura	雰囲気から察するに、下っ子か？	Just based on your general look, I'm guessing you're their little sib?
Saragimaru	・・・一応八尾呂智様より産まれは少し遅いがなぜ名前を知っていた？	...I was born slightly later than Yaorochi-sama, for what it's worth, but just how did you know my name?
Tsubakura	勘。(嘘) ふーん下っ子ねぇ・・・じゃあ一緒に呑む？	Intuition. (lying) Hmm. The runt of the litter, huh... so d'you wanna come drink with us?
Saragimaru	呑まん！　何故貴様等などと！	With the likes of you?! Absolutely NOT!
Tsubakura	えー、どないして？　美味いぜ？	Awww, an' why's that? It's real good stuff, y'know?
Saragimaru	八尾呂智様の幸せを邪魔する者は何人たりとも許しはせんのだ！	I shall never forgive those who obstruct Yaorochi-sama's happiness, no matter how many of you there are!
Tsubakura	家族想いですねー	You sure are devoted to your family, huh?
Saragimaru	貴様らごときに我等二人の絆は理解できまい	You villains could never understand the bond the two of us share.
Tsubakura	まぁ、そりゃそうだ	Eh, yeah, you've got me on that one.
Saragimaru	最後の晩餐すら貴様等には惜しい・・・覚悟しろ！	Even one last supper would be too good for you lot... Now, prepare yourself!
Tsubakura	随分と張り切ってるな〜前置きはいいから、さっさとこいよ	Looks like someone's raring to go. That's about enough preamble, so just come at me already.
Saragimaru	言わずもがな！	That goes without saying!
Tsubakura	美禄の道を邪魔する者は何ぴとたりとも許しはせんのだ！	I shall never forgive those who obstruct the road between me and liquor, no matter how many of you there are!
	BGM: モノアイ　〜 Ironic_FATE	BGM: Mono Eye ~ Ironic FATE
Saragimaru	っ！　調子に乗るなよ蜘蛛風情が！徒雲の天を操る力、見縊るなよ！	...tch! Don't get carried away, you loathsome spider!^[f] You'll regret looking down upon Adagumo's power to control the heavens!
	Adagumo no Saragimaru DEFEATED
Saragimaru	流石は八尾呂智様を打ち破っただけのことはあるな・・・	I suppose you are indeed powerful enough to have defeated Yaorochi-sama, after all...
Tsubakura	まぁ、あいつは本調子ではなかったらしいけどな	Eh, well, they didn't seem to be in peak condition either.
Saragimaru	く、無念・・・八尾呂智様、貴方の幸せを護れぬことを、お許しくださいませ・・・・	How regrettable... Yaorochi-sama, please forgive me for my inability to defend your happiness...
Tsubakura	さっきから幸せだか皺寄せだか知らないが、無知なる者こそ正に幸せだな・・・	You've been talking about "happiness" or "hippie-ness" or whatever for a while now, but I guess ignorance truly is bliss for some...
Saragimaru	・・・何が言いたい？	...What are you trying to say?
Tsubakura	取りあえず一緒に呑むか？お前のオロチンもいるし	Why don't you come drink with us, just for starters? That Orochin of yours is there too.
Saragimaru	・・・行ける筈ないだろ	...Like hell I'd come with you.
Tsubakura	あー、面倒なのね、いろいろ	Ah, so it's too much of a bother, is it? In several ways.
Saragimaru	・・・・・貴様にはわかるまい	...You'd never understand.
Tsubakura	あっそ、まぁ俺は帰るけど、こっそり付いて来たりするなよ？	Yeah, sure. Welp, I'm gonna be headin' back, but you'd better not secretly follow me or anything, okay?
Saragimaru	・・・？	...?
Tsubakura	面白い光景を見るはめになるからな	'Cause you'll wind up seein' something real interesting if you do.

Notes[edit | edit source]

↑ This appears to be a reference to 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother.
↑ Since pronouncing Senri (闡裡) can also mean senri (千里, "a thousand ri"), this phrase is a pun on the phrase senri no michi mo ippo yori hajimaru (千里の道も一歩より始まる, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step").
↑ Reference to the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan.
↑ "Saragimaru" was converted from kanji ("蛇穴丸") to katakana ("サラギマル") in v1.10a to make Tsubakura roughly guess Saragimaru's name rather than being accurate.
↑ These highlighted in grey were removed in v1.10a.
↑ Tsubakura being called a "spider" is likely a reference to "Tsuchigumo". A historical Japanese derogatory term, sometimes written as "earth spider" (土蜘蛛), used to refer to renegade local clans.
