眠り姫と夢の空想儀 // Nemurihime to Yume no Kuusougi
Sponsored by: SH
Sorry for the long pause between this post and the previous one. I’m getting there.
Notes:
I used ‘kaleidoscope (fantasia)’ to explain the system of fantasy (in respect to the dreams) ruled by rules unknown to the speaker, which is the more literal version of what the term used by the song means.

『
遠く離れた別の場所。
５年もの長さに渡って意識不明の”ミリリ”という少女がいた。
眠り姫と呼ばれ、病名もわからず家族さえもあきらめかけていたある日、
彼女にとっての朝がその瞬間に
訪れたとでもいうように突然に目も覚ました
』
tooku hanareta betsu no basho.
gonen’ mo no nagasa ni watatte ishikifumei no “miriri” to iu shoujo ga ita.
nemurihime to yobare, byoumei mo wakarazu kazoku sae mo akiramekaketeita aru hi,
kanojo ni totte no asa ga sono shun’kan’ ni
otozureta to demo iu you ni totsuzen’ ni me mo samashita
‘
Far away—
—a girl, “Miriri”, lay unconscious as she had for the past five years.
They called her “Sleeping Beauty”, and no one knew what illness plagued her.
But on this day, just as her family had begun to lose hope—she opened her eyes.
It was as if, after having eluded her for so long, morning had finally come for her…
‘
「ここは？あれ？あたしは、レジスタンスにいて……戦ってーーーー」
koko wa? are? atashi wa, resistance ni ite…… tatakatte—-
“Where…am I? Huh? Wasn’t I with the resistance? We were fighting…”
『
自分の名前も憶えている。周囲で涙する家族のことも間違いなく記憶している。
けれど、眠っていたはずの空白の５年間の記憶は、ミリリではなく、カナリアのものとして存在して……
』
jibun’ no namae mo oboeteiru. shuui de namida suru kazoku no koto mo machigainaku kioku shiteiru.
keredo, nemutteita hazu no kuuhaku no gonen’kan’ no kioku wa, miriri de wa naku, canaria no mono to shite son’zai shite……
‘
She knew her name was Miriri. She recognized her family as she watched them cry tears of joy.
However, her memories of the past five years—those years she was sleeping—were of another girl, Canaria…
‘
「シグーーーー！」
sig—-!
“Sig!!”
記憶の混濁に 酷い眩暈と共感覚
長すぎる眠りに視たのは非現実？
kioku no kon’daku ni hidoi memai to kyoukan’kaku
nagasugiru nemuri ni mita no wa higen’jitsu?
The inconsistencies in her memory induced in her vertigo and synaesthesia
Was what she experienced in her overlong slumber really a fabrication?
歓喜する家族に その物語の事を話しても
「夢を見ていたの」と優しく諭されるだけで
kan’ki suru kazoku ni sono monogatari no koto wo kanashitemo
“yume wo miteita no” to yasashiku satosareru dake de
Though she told her family of the tales in her memory,
Their response was the same: “You were only dreaming.”
そうは思えない 言いようもないリアリティ
彼に触れた腕その体温が ねぇ、まだ今も残っているのに
sou wa omoenai iiyou mo nai reality
kare ni fureta ude sono taion’ ga nee, mada ima mo nokotteiru no ni
But she could not believe them—it felt too real
She could still feel the warmth from when Sig’s arm touched hers
空想儀上で乱反射した揺蕩う二つの視点
バラバラ切り刻まれてただ摩耗するなら嫌だ
向こう側でまた眠っていたい
kuusougijou de ran’han’sha shita tayutau futatsu no shiten’
barabara kirikizamarete tada mamou suru nara iya da
mukougawa de mata nemutteitai
Two perspectives disperse and intertwine in this kaleidoscope fantasia:
Why must I endure this, wasting away as I am cut into pieces!?
I would rather sleep again, and return to the other side!
『
薄靄は晴れぬまま、この自分に慣れようと日々を過ごしていると、人づてに聖女様が率いる
レジスタンスのことを耳にしてしまう
』
usumoya wa harenu mama, kono jibun’ ni nareyou to hibi wo sugoshiteiru to, hitodzute ni seijo sama ga hikiiru
resistance no koto wo mimi ni shiteshimau
‘
While she tried to find herself under an unyielding veil of fog, Miriri heard by word of mouth
of a resistance formed under the banner of a holy virgin.
‘
「やっぱりただの夢なんかじゃなかった。あれは、みんな現実だったんだ……！」
“yappari tada no yume nan’ka janakatta. are wa, min’na gen’jitsu dattan’da……!”
“I knew it was not only a dream. All of it, all of it was real!”
駆け出したくなる衝動抑えて深呼吸ひとつ
平静装った 気付かれないように
kakedashitaku naru shoudou osaete shin’kokyuu hitotsu
heisei yosotta kidzukarenai you ni
Resisting the urge to run away that very moment,
She calmed herself, so that no one would know.
過保護な母親と父を愛していないわけはない
けれど同じくらい大切な場所ができたんだ
kahogo na hahaoya to chichi wo aishiteinai wake wa nai
keredo onaji kurai taisetsu na basho ga dekitan’da
It wasn’t as if she did not love her mother and father
But she had a place now just as important to her
とても言い出せない 真っ直ぐに目も見れない
ここにいるべきとわかってる でも、今すぐみんな会いたくて
totemo iidasenai massugu ni me mo mirenai
koko ni iru beki to wakatteru demo, ima sugu min’na aitakute
She could not tell her parents, nor could she look them in the eye
She knew she should stay, but she desperately wanted to see everyone again
空想儀上の物語を忘れてしまうことはできない
半身をその地に置いてきた感覚が消えないから
セカイのどこかで今この時も戦っているだろう彼らは
悲しいけど少しずつ命を落としていく 決断は今しかできない
kuusougijou no monogatari wo wasureteshimau koto wa dekinai
han’shin’ wo sono ta ni oitekita kan’kaku ga kienai kara
sekai no dokoka de ima kono toki mo tatakatteiru darou karera wa
kanashii kedo sukoshizutsu inochi wo otoshiteiku ketsudan’ wa ima shika dekinai
She could not forget the story inside her kaleidoscope memories
She could not help but feel she had left half of herself with them
Sadly but surely, they who were still fighting, off somewhere in the world
Did not have long to live, day by day death would stalk them — She had no time to waste
試しに弓を射ていても カナリアと違い上手くは飛ばない
思考に体がついてこない これじゃ彼の背中は守れないーーーー？
tameshi ni yume wo iteitemo canaria to chigai umaku wa tobanai
shikou ni karada ga tsuitekonai kore ja kare no senaka wa mamorenai—-?
Miriri tried her hand at archery, but unlike Canaria, her arrows would not soar
Her body could not keep up with her mind — How could she protect Sig like this?
それぞれ道は別れ 乱暴に引き離されて
それでも自分の意思で 戻る道があるなら……
sorezore michi wa wakare ran’bou ni hikihanasarete
soredemo jibun’ no ishi de modoru michi ga aru nara……
Their paths had been violently torn apart
But if there was some way she could return to him…
「彼は、シグはーーーー今も確かに存在する。じゃあカナリアは……？」
“kare wa, sig wa —- ima mo tashika ni son’zai suru. ja canaria wa……?”
“Sig — he is still out there, somewhere. But what about Canaria…?”
『
少女は、大切な家族に手紙を書き残し、
必ず戻ることを記して誰にも見つからないようにこっそりと村を出る。
どれだけ旅をすればそこに辿りつくかもわからないまま。
一秒でも早くその場所に戻りたいと願って
』
shoujo wa, taisetsu na kazoku ni tegami wo kakinokoshi,
hanarazu modoru koto wo shirushite dare ni mo mitsukaranai you ni kossori to mura wo deru.
doredake tabi wo sureba soko ni tadoritsuku ka mo wakaranai mama.
ichibyou demo hayaku sono basho ni modoritai to negatte
‘
“One day I will return,” Miriri wrote to her beloved family,
Before she crept silently out of the village, so that no one would find her.
She did not know how long it might take to find the resistance, or even if she could find them,
But she was driven by the desire to be back with them as soon as possible.
‘
「
あたしの居場所は、きっとあの背中の裏側。
例えもう戦えないとしても……やっぱりそこにいたいんだ
」
atashi no ibasho wa, kitto ano senaka no uragawa.
tatoe mou tatakaenai to shitemo…… yappari soko ni itain’da
”
I belong there beside him, standing with my back to his.
Even if I can now longer fight… still I long to be with him.
