Kowloon's Gate Mercury Icon

Mercury is item 8 of the game's item table, in the Items group. The script names it on discs 1, 2, 3, and 4.

A drug valued highly in the past
昔は高値で取引されていたようだ。

In the script

Lines of the script that name it, each with a link to its place in the script.

Ah, another long slumber, I see...

Here. Back when it had spirit power, this, the malice mirror, was used to draw malice from the hearts of man.

However, in time, it became a mirror that brewed malice by reflecting the distortions of the heart instead.

I was amazed to see this mirror reflect the mercury dealer's fears back at him.

Heh, all I did was upcycle the malice which had spawned in that sad instant.

After watching that fear bear such malicious fruit, I'd say it was well worth the wait!

また長い眠りにつくのか…

さあ、これを、邪気の鏡を持ってゆけ。もともとこの鏡は、人間に巣食った邪気を祓うためのもの。

だが、その霊力は失われ、むしろ心の歪みを映し、邪気を生み出す鏡となっている。

この鏡が水銀屋の怯えを映した時には驚いたよ。

ははは、私はそれを利用させてもらっただけ…

怯えが邪気を生むまで、ゆっくりと待つだけでよかった。

Looking for the mercury dealer?

He's... been of a bitter sort since the death of his younger sister. No one uses mercury now anyways. Oil is far more practical!

水銀屋のところに行くのか?

あいつ…妹が死んでから、あんなふうになったんだ…今じゃ水銀なんて、誰も使わないよ。油のほうが実用的なんだ。

「水銀」を入手しました。

What... do you want from mmme? All I've got is this lousy mmmercury. Take what you want, just not for free. It'll be 100 zi zaat.

You know... bank notes? Mmmoney? Here, we call it "zi zaat". Go ahead, take what you want. Just cough up 100 zi zaat...

なに…うちになにか用か…うちの水銀は普通の水銀だ…特別にあんたに分けてやる。ただじゃないぜ、100紙紮(シザ)よこしな。

持ってんだろ、紙紮…金だよ、この世界じゃそう呼んでるんだ。必要な分だけ、抜き取ってやる。さあ、渡しな。

What good is mmmercury anymmmore? ... If you're done, get lost.

Well, not too lost, or you'll end up like that mmmirror mmmerchant, hehe.

しかし今時、水銀なんて何に使うんだ?…用が済んだら、とっとと消えな…

あんまりこの辺をうろついてると、鏡屋みたいに…ふっふっふっ…

Lung Shing Road (RYUJO) 1/2 #172

Hehehe, all this mmmercury is useless to me now, hehehe. It can't help me worth a dammmn.

へへへ、今じゃ水銀なんて何の役にも立たないんだ、へへへ、何の役にもな…

Lung Shing Road (RYUJO) 1/2 #184

How many timmmes do I have to say it? My mmmercury's plain, old mmmercury.

Back in the old days, mmmercury was seen as an effective mmmedicine. There's nothing special to it now.

まだいたのか…うちのは普通の水銀だ…何度言ったらわかるんだ?

…昔は…どんな病気にも効く薬になったらしい…今じゃただの水銀だ。

I can't let my friend go without a fight, but there's nothing I can do.

... Anyways, the entrance to Bailey Street is behind the mercury dealer.

そうさ、友達が物になってしまうなんて、それをみすみす見逃すなんて…

やっぱり俺にはできない…庇利路の入口は水銀屋の奥だよ。

Lung Shing Road (RYUJO) 1/2 #246

You know, that doll reminded me of this one time when the mercury dealer got spooked by an apparition.

He must've thought the apparition looked like his dead little sister.

そうだよ、人形で思い出したことがあるんだ。幽霊さ。幽霊見たやつがいるんだ。

死んだ妹の幽霊を見たらしい…たしか水銀屋だったと思う。

Lung Shing Road (RYUJO) 1/2 #247

The mercury dealer is acting awfully skiddish lately. I wonder why...

水銀屋のやつ、妙に怯えちまって…それであんなになったんだ。

Lung Shing Road (RYUJO) 1/2 #248

The mercury dealer's sister got sick, so to help her, he rubbed mercury all over her body.

In ancient times, even emperors revered mercury as a precious medicine, but a lot of people died after drinking it.

水銀屋の妹は病気だったんだ。それを治すためにあいつ、水銀を妹の体中に塗ったんだよ。

昔は水銀が貴重な薬だったんだろ、皇帝とかさ、みんな飲んで死んじまったんだよね。

Lung Shing Road (RYUJO) 1/2 #271

Well, well, what do you have there? It's an elixir people call, "mercury". May I... May I see it?

これはこれは…あんた、そこに持っているの、丹薬じゃないのか、丹薬、水銀だよ…ちょいと見せてくれ…。
