Home › People › J.C. the Piercer
A piercer on West City Road. He says the woman with the big earrings went in and never came back, and that the locksmith from Lung Shing Road left a key with Nguyễn.
J.C. the Piercer speaks 15 times in the script, in West City Road.
Stage: West City Road
Each block is one message window, with a link to the place in the script where it appears.
Ayo! The name's J.C. You here to use the passage?
The chick who went in earlier never came back to West City. Wish I caught her name. She had such looong earrings on, I... Sorry, where was I?
Oh, I know. You're another one who's here to speak to Nguyễn, am I right? Well, Nguyễn's moping at his place. Reddish door across the hall.
やあ、俺、ＪＣ。あんたもなんとか路に用事かい？
さっきのオネエチャンは入っていったきり戻らないぜ。誰なんだ、あのオネエチャン…なんか、でっかいピアスしてたなあ…なんだいあれは？
で、あんたは…あんたもグエンを捜してるのかい？グエンなら、自分の部屋だ。ここの向かいだよ、やつの部屋は。
Here to speak to Nguyễn? Well, Nguyễn's moping at his place. Reddish door across the hall.
グエンを捜してるのかい？あいつなら、自分の部屋にいるよ。ここの向かいだよ、やつの部屋は。
He'll open the passage for you, so get in there ASAP.
If the passage stays open for too long, who knows how bad the disturbances here will get. You'd better get a move on!
扉を開けておくそうだ。すぐに来いって。
あまり長く開けておくと、また歪みがどうのって、ややこしいことになる。早く行ってやれよ。
The bottle merchant likes earrings. Has a big thing for womens' ears. Your lady friend wasn't there, was she? Anyways, Nguyễn went to the riverbank to ask the old man about his stone.
びん屋だろ、ピアス欲しがってたのは。あいつは女の耳が好きなんだ。で、オネエチャンはいなかったのか？グエンのやつ、石の話を聞きに向こう岸のじいさんとこ行ったぜ。
It's strange how these districts keep connecting and disconnecting. That instability can't be safe, right?
しかし、妙だよなあ…街がくっついたり、離れたりするなんて。そんなことがあっていいのか？
You still haven't caught up with your lady friend? Nguyễn feels totally responsible. He's a serious person, which is a rare sort around these parts.
まだオネエチャンは見つからないのかい？グエンのやつ、責任感じてるんだ。あいつ、この辺にはめずらしくまじめなやつなんだよ。
Fess up! You got an earring from the bottle merchant on Lung Shing Road! ... Hehe. Yeah, I thought as much. If you ever find the owner to that earring you got, give it back to them. If you don't, the owner would... dare I say it, "lose their balance"? Heh. Earrings are special like that.
あんた、白状しなよ、龍城路のびん屋からピアス、もらったんだろ……ふふ、どうなんだ…もし、そのピアスに持ち主がいるのなら、返してやることだな。でないと、その持ち主は、…なんというか、バランスが欠けたままになってしまうんだよ。ふふふ…ピアスっていうのは、そういうもんなんだよ。
I see you've met Nguyễn.
グエンに会ったのか。
... Whelp. Guess I get to translate. You after the chick with the earrings?
Well, I don't care who you are. That passage isn't safe to go into.
せがまれたらしい…さっきのオネエチャンにだろ？
本当は誰も通しちゃいけないところらしい。
"She seemed to know it connected this district to Lung Shing Road." ... Lung Shing Road, huh? Gotcha.
彼女は知ってたそうだ、あそこが龍城路につながってるって…そうか…龍城路ねえ…
The Lung Shing locksmith left the key that safekept the passage with Nguyễn.
"Because the passage was dangerous enough when he travelled it."
Smart guy. Given that passage never had anything going for it, it's too risky a spot to let every dude and his mum in.
龍城路の錠前屋がやってきてグエンに鍵を預けたらしい。
元に戻ったときにあの通路の中は危険だからって。
…そりゃそうだな、もともとなにもなかった場所なんだから。誰も中に入れないようにしてたそうだ。
"But the girl was in a hurry. She was searching for someone." Someone on Lung Shing Road? Then what happened?
オネエチャンは急いでたそうだ。誰か人を捜してたってよ。…龍城路に誰かいるのか…それとも…
"The guilü distorted all the magnetic energy, and your...
wishing stone got possessed...?"
Sorry. I don't know what all he means, but there was this decades-old custom where people made wishes on rocks.
鬼律がマグネの気脈を歪めてるのかって？
お前の出世石になにかとり憑いた…
悪い、俺、出世石の話はよく分からないんだ…古い習慣で、願いをかける石だそうだが。
If you need to find your lady friend, Nguyễn will unlock the passage for you.
That "shouldn't" count as breaking his promise to the locksmith.
That reminds me... Her earrings! There's that old guy on Lung Shing Road who collects earrings on the side!
Maybe she wanted to trade one of her earrings for one of his bottles!
Do you need to trade for a bottle too? If you're serious about this chase, I'll give you one of my pieces.
あんたが彼女を捜すなら鍵を開けてくれるそうだ。
でも錠前屋との約束を破ったわけじゃないって…
そうか…ピアスだ、そうだ！龍城路にピアスやイヤリングを集めてるオヤジがいる。
オネエチャンは自分のピアスと交換に、びんを手に入れたかったんだ！
…あんたも、持っていくか。向こうに行く勇気があるなら、うちのピアス分けてやるよ。
He'll open the passage for you, so get in there ASAP.
If the passage stays open for too long, who knows how bad the disturbances here will get. You'd better get a move on!
扉を開けておくそうだ。すぐに来いって。
あまり長く開けておくと、また歪みがどうのってや、やこしいことになる。早く行ってやれよ。
