Home › People › Curio Merchant
A merchant on Lung Chun Road who sends the player to Anita behind Silver Paradise. She says Anita collected sawdust because it can break the seal stones, and suggests trying the illuminating eyeball on someone in the Snakes' pocket.
Curio Merchant speaks 13 times in the script, in Lung Chun Road.
Stage: Lung Chun Road
Each block is one message window, with a link to the place in the script where it appears.
Have you heard of any old doors that won't open inside of the theatre?
But shine an illuminating eyeball on 'em, and those doors'll open right up!
Hoi should have one, but it'd need to be washed clean. A dirty eyeball can dissolve its user into bubbles!
開かずの扉って聞いたことあるかい？劇場の中にある仕掛けだよ。
光明の眼があれば、そんな古い扉も開くことができる…ホイのやつが持ってるはずだけど。
ただ、きれいに洗ってからじゃないと、使った人間があぶくみたいに溶けてしまうんだよ。
Well, I'll be! What're you doing with that?
Mind if I see it for a moment? I'll clean this off for you.
By the way, have you spoken with Anita yet?
If I'm not mistaken, her big brother studied feng shui.
Go talk shop with her. She'll get you going where you need to.
From where we're standing, she should be just down the way.
おや、まあ！あんたが持ってたの。
ちょっとアタシに預けてくれるかい。洗っといてあげるからさ。
ところで、あんた、アニタにはもう会ったかい？
彼女の兄さんも風水の勉強してたっていうじゃないか。
なにか、ためになる話でも聞けるんじゃないかい？
アニタなら、どこかその辺にいるはずだよ…
Have you met Anita?
The stage dancers for Silver Paradise take their breaks out behind the revue. You'll find Anita there.
アニタには、会ったかい？
銀色極楽の裏はね、舞台がはねた踊り子たちの憩いの場所だったのさ。アニタならきっとそこだよ。
With how you drifted in, it's like you came to answer Anita's prayer. Collecting sawdust was her idea. It seems ordinary sawdust has the power to break the seal stones.
She said that, once the stones break, feng shui will be born to the district.
まるでアニタに呼ばれるように、あんたがやって来たわけだね。オガクズを集めていたのは彼女なのさ。なんでもオガクズには、封印石を崩す力があるらしいよ。
封印石がなくなると、風水が生まれる。そう教えてくれたよ。
Call it a woman's intuition, but I don't think Anita's big brother is here on Lung Chun Road anymore.
アニタの兄さんって、もうこの街にいないんじゃないかって思うんだよ。アタシの勘だけどね。
Here's that illuminating eyeball. I washed it squeaky clean! With this, you can reopen aaany "closed doors" you can think of.
ほら、光明の眼だよ。きれいに洗っておいたからね。これを持っていると、古い扉も開くことができるよ。
Illuminating eyeballs were designed to find doors in ordinary walls.
... Except, they can also be used to listen to thirteen peoples' hearts.
I suppose it'd work on anyone, but remember, thirteen is the limit...
目玉は、壁みたいになってる扉、そんな扉の前で使うんだよ。
…それから、人に使うと１３回だけ心の声が見抜けると言うねえ。
誰に使ってもいいけど、見抜けるのは１３回だけ…
Sorry, but that won't work on me! Why? Because the curio merchant of Lung Chun Road is an open book, and don't you forget it! That said, it's not like selling goods was my life's calling.
It may be now, but back in my day... Tee hee! People would've told me I was the greatest dancer around! Even though I handled the costumes, nobody told me I can't dance too. I had a knack for dancing, I'd say. I love dancing behind Silver Paradise when I was on breaks. How I miss it...
おやおや、アタシに使ったってダメさ。なんせ、正直者で通ってるからね…龍津路の道具屋は、正直者さ。でもね、あんた、忘れないでね、アタシはね、生まれついての道具屋なんかじゃないんだよ。
今はこうだけど、昔はそりゃ……えへへへ、君こそが一番の踊り子だ、なんて言われたもんさ…その時は踊り子たちの衣装係だったけど、踊り、からっきしダメっていうわけじゃないんだよ…筋はいいってことでさ、よく銀色極楽の裏で踊ってたんだよ。あの頃が、懐かしいねえ…

This may be the entertainment district, but there aren't that many two-faced characters here on Lung Chun Road. But, with an illuminating eyeball... I think you should try it on people who work for the Snakes.
龍津路には、あまり表裏のある人間はいないんだよ。なんといっても、ここは芸能の街だからねえ…光明の眼は…そうだねえ…スネークの息のかかった人間に試してみるといいよ。
If the malice is wearing away, what is this magnetic energy I feel? I'm not losing my mind, am I?
せっかく邪気がなくなったと思ったらこんどはマグネなんとかがおかしくなり始めたっていうのかい？
Was that strange elderly man a friend of yours? I saw him project a doorway onto the wall.
Don't tell me that's how you got in here from Kowloonfront!
今のでしょう、あんたの友達って。変なおやじが…その…
出口を映し出していた…あの出口って、本当に九龍フロントにつながってるのかい？
