An onmyoji in Kowloonfront who works out the Days of the Fire from his ancestors' records and his armillary sphere. He sends the player to 22 May 1850 and later to Shanghai on 22 May 1920, and his ancestors in both eras help the player too.
Onmyoji speaks 20 times in the script, in Qing Dynasty, Kowloonfront, Shanghai.
Stage: Qing Dynasty, Kowloonfront, Shanghai
Each block is one message window, with a link to the place in the script where it appears.
I've matched the coordinates back to when you came from, the time of the Earth Rat: May 22nd, 1997! To think, I have a descendant alive that far in the future... Oh, whoops! No time for small talk! We can only create a space-time distortion for two hours, tops. Two hours! Now, let's see what my armillary sphere can REALLY do!
君がやってきた方角にきちんと合っておる。戊子（ツチノエ・ネ）の時か。１９９７年５月２２日！わしの子孫はそんな時代に生きておるのか！いやはや。おお、いけないいけない！無駄口をたたいている暇はない。時空の歪みは２時間が限度だ。２時間！さあ、わしの渾天儀がはじめて真価を発揮するときがきた。
Let's see. Today is May 22nd, 1997, and you'll be going to... 1850! That's right! May 22nd, 1850! The era? Qing, as in, Qing Dynasty! Now, what time is...? Oh, forget it, the hour of day won't matter. Looks like some idiot got that part of the clock stuck anyhow... All right! It's time! It's time to connect you with the past! ... Wait, I forgot to ask before, but did you bring a hand mirror? No? You're gonna have a bad time over there if you don't have one.
ええと、今日が１９９７年５月２２日と、それで…君が行くのは１８５０年！そうだ！１８５０年５月２２日だ！時代は清朝！ 清朝だ！今、何時だ？…そうか、時間は関係ないな…どっかの間抜けが、時間をずらせておるようだなあ…まあいい！ 今だ！今こそ過去とつながるとき！…さっき言い忘れたが、手鏡とやらは手に入れたか？ええ？ あれがないと向こうで苦労するぞ…
Did you bring a hand mirror? No? You're gonna have a bad time over there if you don't have one.
…さっき言い忘れたが、手鏡とやらは手に入れたか？ ええ？あれがないと、向こうで苦労するぞ…
You're the only one going, but don't worry! My ancestor is waiting for you on the other side. You'll definitely make it back. As for the hermit statue... When it comes to small items like that, who knows where it landed. Go look for it once you're there. Ready to go? Of course you are! It's like a TV show, and now, you're the star making history! Which means... woah... That means that, at this very moment, I'm making history too! RE-KI-SHIIIII!
いや、行くのは君ひとりだ…なあに、心配ないぞ。向こうにはわしのご先祖が君をまっておる。必ずや、君をここに戻してくれるはずだ。仙人像は先に送った…。小さな物は、どこに届くかさっぱり見当もつかん。向こうで探してみてくれ。準備はいいかな。もちろんいいはずだ！これはドラマだ！そして君は歴史の流れの中にいる！そして…おおおおわしもだな…わしが歴史の一幕になる瞬間でもあるのだ。歴史！ヒストリーだ！
Did you bring a hand mirror? No? You're gonna have a bad time over there if you don't have one.
…さっき言い忘れたが、手鏡とやらは手に入れたか？ ええ？あれがないと、向こうで苦労するぞ…
I see my ancestor did a bang-up job!
Plus, I'm starting to see why you're jumping from time to time. It must be the Day of the Fire!
The Qing Dynasty date you went to, May 22, 1850, and today, May 22, 1997, are BOTH Days of the Fire!
My ancestor did specify one more date that counts as a "Day of the Fire" that you should travel to,
but I forgot which date it was! I haven't the slightest idea! To make matters worse...
my ancestor's records for that Day of the Fire got corrupted!
Yes, my poor database! It went, "Sayonara!" on me!
Maybe it was a virus? But now what? And how will you travel now?!
The records all show that you HAVE travelled to that date, or should I say, that time!
そうか！先祖もなかなかやりよるわい！
ところで！だ。君がうろちょろする理由が、なんとなく見えてきた。そうだ！ファイアの日だ！
君を送り届けた清の時代、１８５０年５月２２日も、そして今日１９９７年５月２２日も、
ともにファイアの日で結ばれておる。先祖からの伝書の中にはもう一日、君が行くはずのファイアの日があったように思うのだが…。
…忘れてしまった！それがいつなのか、おぼろげにも覚えておらん！困ったことに、
ファイアの日を記した先祖の伝書が壊れてしまったのだ。
…わしのデータベースが！そうだ！破壊されていたのだよ！
…ウイルス？かもしれん、しかしどうやって？君はどうやって行くのだ？
伝書の中では君はその日、いやその時代に行ったことになっておるというのに！
Well, I have no damn clue what date that Day of the Fire is!
Nor the era, nor the place! There's no way for me to know! Not with my database down...
But you were there. That much is written in history.
Ugh, what a pain! If only my database were fixed!
いや、わからんのだ、もうひとつのファイアの日というのが！
その日がいつの時代にあるのか、場所もだ！…わからんのだ……データベースが壊れておるのでな。
だが確かに、君は行ったことになっておるの。それが歴史なんだよ。
ううう、口惜しいなあ…データベースさえ直ればなあ…。
Oh! It's you! You finally came! I got so tired of waiting for you, I could've melted on the spot!
By the way, I now know that there is still one more Day of the Fire!
Listen closely: the era is 1920. The place? Shanghai! Shang! Hai!
I assure you, that's what it says in my ancestors' database!
May 22nd, 1920! That's the exact same date as today! Now... to Shanghaiii!
おお！君！やっときたか！待ちくたびれて溶けそうだよ。
ところで！わかったんだよ、もうひとつのファイアの日が！
いいかあ、良く聞け、時代は１９２０年…場所は…上海だ！上海！
確かにご先祖のデータベースにそう記されておる！
１９２０年の５月２２日、今日と同じか…同じ日付だ！そして上海！
Old? Old?! Old WHAT?! What are you, a wangren?!
I've heard the rumours, but I've never seen one up close like this. Very well. What day IS it today?
お、お、おっさ…な、何者！お、お前は、妄人か？
噂には聞いておったが、まさか目の前に現れるとは。で、…今日がどうかしたと。
What? May 23rd?! Oh, I see now! It's the 23rd, which explains why the armillary sphere didn't line up!
But May 22nd, 1920, huh... How do you suppose we get you to that era, eh?
As the records show, you were supposed to be there, so how come...
何！！５月２３日！…おお、そうか！２３日とは！いかん、道理で渾天儀が合わせられんのだな！
１９２０年５月２２日に…しかし…君はどうやって行ったことになっておるのだ…
確かに伝書では、君はその時代に行ったことになっておる、どうやって？
Ah-hah! The dragon's den! That word's unheard of in my field. Is that a feng shui thing?
Well, that IS one way to cross time.
I'll work with the armillary sphere a little longer to tighten the scale.
なに！龍穴！…陰陽の世界では耳慣れない言葉、それは風水の物か。
なるほど…それが時を超える道だと？
…わしはもう少し渾天儀を手懐けてみる、あと少しで目盛りがぴたりとくるはずだ。
It'll take a little longer for me to tighten the scale on the armillary sphere. Please wait.
目盛りを合わせるのにもう少し時間がかかる。ちょいと待っててくれ。
Geez, who knew Hyper-Communication could be so life-threatening!
Well, you look all right, at least. I managed to adjust the scale on my armillary sphere, but...
try as I might to adjust it to the 22nd, it's not acting very stable!
ほう！ふーふー、こんなふうに生体通信を使うのは命がけだよ。
どうやら大丈夫だな。なんとか渾天儀の目盛りは合わせたが…しかし！
…がんばって２２日に合わせているが、なかなかうまく安定せん！
What? Xiaohei? She got swallowed up?!
That's awful! Absolutely "taihen" out of ten!
Well, you don't happen to have anything that could represent her, would you? Something like... Oh! That photograph!
You have her photograph, don't you! You do, don't you?! Do you have it?! Surely you do! Here! Let me see it!
なに！ 小黒が！吸い込まれた！？
そりゃ大変だ！だんぜん大変だ！
君、なんか、持ってないか、小黒を表す物、たとえば写真とか、そうだ写真だ！
彼女の写真、持ってないのか、あるのか！ないのか！あるのかないのか、あるのか、それだ！それを貸してくれ！
Right! It's a race against the dragon's den!
You need to get through before Xiaohei does, and let the photograph take her in!
I have an ancestor there who, like my Qing ancestor, is a GENIUS!
He'll help you back to this era. Now, I'm about to make RE-KI-SHIII!
... Oh, no time for theatrics. Give me that photograph!
そうだ！龍穴と競争だ！
飲み込まれた小黒より早く向こうに着いて、その写真で受けとめるのだ。
向こうにはわしのご先祖がおるはずだ。清朝のご先祖同様、腕は確かだ！
必ずや君をこの時代に戻してくれる。そして、わしは！…ヒストリー！…
あっ、これはもうよいな、さあ、写真を！
All right, you're next to go! Hurry, find the photograph I just sent while there's still time.
Wait, you're going too, slimy one? I do wonder what would happen if a wangren were to time travel...
I've never thought about it!
よし！ 次は君の番だ。まだ間に合うかもしれん、さあ、早く。向こうで今の写真を受け取るんだ！
しかし…そこのお前さんも行くのか…妄人が時空を移動してどんな影響が出るか…
わしは考えたこともなかったぞ。
Whelp, time's out! I can't wait to see how this goes! Is everyone ready? Course you are! Let's go!
おお！ もう時間がない！どうなるかは行ってみてのお楽しみだ！用意はいいか、もちろんだ！行くぞお！
Also! I'd better tell you about the prophecy mentioned in our records...
where a feng shui master crosses time, and opens the Paths of the Divine Beasts... Ah-HAH!
The records ring true yet again! ... I'll adjust the scale of the armillary sphere for now. Deal?
You know, for when you need to return to your time, May 22nd, 1997! WOOHOO! Mind-scrambling stuff, this is!
Don't worry. That doesn't mean my handiwork is "scrambled" at all.
…おおおお、そうだそうだ、伝書の話をせねばならん。
伝書にはこう予言されておるのだ。時の彼方より風水師が現れ、やがて神獣の道が開かれる、と。
まさに…伝書の通りだあああ。…わしはここで渾天儀の目盛りを合わせておく、そうだ！
君が戻る時代にだ！１９９７年５月２２日。とーほほほほほ、気の遠くなる話だ…
なあに、わしの腕に狂いはないて、安心してくれ…
Right on time...! Well, that's what I'd LIKE to say, but my HELL SPAWN force-synced our armillary spheres!
Rather, that's my only guess... because the date you're supposed to return to up and disappeared!
I saw it so clearly, last I checked, but the times now must be misaligned.
As it stands, I've no way to send you back anymore...
Wait, I know! Li Hong! LI HONG! How could I forget? You can ask him! He's from 1997, the same era as you!
He might have just the thing! It's a mirror! The Zhuque Mirror!
That's what he uses to travel! Yes! Li Hong can time travel!
待ってたぞ…と言いたいところなんだが、子孫めが無理矢理に渾天儀を合わせよって…
それが原因としか考えられん…君が戻るべき日付が…消えてしまったのだよ！
さっきまではくっきり見えていたんだが…やはり時刻がずれておるのかなあ…
このままでは君は戻ることができなくなってしまう…
そうだ！季弘だ！季弘！なんで忘れておったのか！やつに頼め！同じ時代だよ！１９９７年！
やつなら何とかできるかもしれん、鏡だ、朱雀の鏡を使えば！
あいつはそれで行き来していた、そうだ、この時代と君の時代とを！
Also! I'd better tell you about the prophecy mentioned in our records... where a feng shui master crosses time,
and opens the Paths of the Divine Beasts... Ah-HAH! The records ring true yet again!
... I'll adjust the scale of the armillary sphere for now. Deal?
You know, for when you need to return to your time, May 22nd, 1997! WOOHOO! Mind-scrambling stuff, this is!
Don't worry. That doesn't mean my handiwork is "scrambled" at all.
…おおおお、そうだそうだ、伝書の話をせねばならん。伝書にはこう予言されておるのだ。時の彼方より風水師が現れ、
やがて神獣の道が開かれる、と。まさに…伝書の通りだあああ。
…わしはここで渾天儀の目盛りを合わせておく、そうだ！
君が戻る時代にだ！１９９７年５月２２日。とーほほほほほ、気の遠くなる話だ…
なあに、わしの腕に狂いはないて、安心してくれ…
