Little Pops Whoa!
2
Zan cried as he and Darb ran.
3
What are those things?
4
I don't know.
5
Darb flapped his hands, trying to ward off the angry little creatures.
6
They kept diving at the boys,
7
stinging any exposed skin they could reach.
8
Let's go to the hollow!
9
It's close, and they probably won't follow us there.
10
Zan glanced in the direction of the hollow.
11
The place made him nervous.
12
It was a vacuum, and magic didn't work in a vacuum.
13
Most magical creatures feared and avoided such places.
14
In fact, it was probably the only place Zan would never dare to go.
15
In the Hollow, he'd have no way at all to protect himself.
16
I've got a better idea, Zan said.
17
He grabbed Darb's arm and then zapped them both away.
18
They landed in another part of the swamp,
19
far from the tiny dragons.
20
Phew!
21
Darb grimaced.
22
Can you do anything about these stings?
23
Hold still.
24
Zan rubbed his hands together and touched the red marks on Darb's arms and face.
25
The marks faded away.
26
Thanks, Darb said.
27
Zan healed his own stings.
28
So you don't know what those were?
29
He asked.
30
I thought you were an expert in that stuff.
31
Darb shook his head.
32
They looked like dragons, but the only dragons that small are mini flower sippers.
33
And you know what they're like?
34
They don't sting.
35
Maybe they're not from Magicka, Zan said.
36
Maybe there's a wormhole near here.
37
You mean a portal to another world?
38
Darb looked doubtful.
39
I thought those were really rare and really dangerous.
40
They are.
41
Most people think my parents got lost in one.
42
Or maybe went through an unstable one that closed behind them.
43
Xan started to feel excited.
44
Let's go back and...
45
Oh!
46
Xan was nearly knocked off his feet.
47
He grabbed a tree to steady himself.
48
What's wrong?
49
Darb asked.
50
The feeling had already passed.
51
It's Boz, Zan said.
52
I just felt him.
53
He's not happy.
54
Was it a red share?
55
Zan nodded.
56
A red share happened when a red felt an especially strong emotion.
57
Any red with a connection to the other red would feel it, too.
58
Boz probably just realized I sneaked out, Zan said.
59
It was a strong share,
60
which means he must be really mad.
61
We're really scared.
62
He seemed pretty worried about that warning.
63
Either way, I'd better get home.
64
Okay.
65
Darb tucked an escaping panic bug back into his pocket.
66
See you tomorrow.
67
Yeah, if Boz doesn't lock me in the house with a super shield spell, that is.
68
Zan rubbed his hands together.
69
Focus, he thought.
70
The last thing he needed was to miss his mark and land on the roof or in Zing's food dish.
71
Zap.
72
He landed in the house's main room.
73
right on target he murmured he glanced around but Boz was nowhere in sight.
74
Instead, Zan saw a man looking at the family pictures on the wall.
75
Who are you?
76
Zan blurted out.
77
Where's my grandfather?
78
The stranger spun around.
79
He was tall and gaunt, with glittering amber eyes.
80
An odd expression flickered across his narrow face.
81
Another red, the man said.
82
He pointed at one of the blink images.
83
Are these your parents, young man?
84
Zan noticed his grandfather's diary on the floor under the table.
85
That was strange.
86
Boz never went anywhere without his diary.
87
And he'd never leave it lying around on the floor.
88
That's none of your business,
89
Zan told the stranger, suddenly nervous.
90
Where's Boz?
91
Is that any way to speak to a guest in your home?
92
The corners of the man's thin lips twisted into a half-smile.
93
I happen to be an old friend of your grandfather's.
94
Zan wasn't sure what to say.
95
Buzz!
96
He yelled.
97
Where are you?
98
The stranger smirked.
99
You can call as loudly as you like.
100
He won't hear you.
101
But I can take you to him if you wish.
102
Who are you?
103
What are you doing here?
104
Zan clenched his fists at his sides.
105
And what have you done with Buzz?
106
Just then, he heard scratching at the door.
107
Zing!
108
Zang quickly rubbed his hands together and pointed at the door.
109
Open!
110
It flew open.
111
Zing leaped into the room,
112
shooting a stream of flame toward the stranger.
113
Good boy!
114
Zang cried.
115
That'll teach him to...
116
But quick as a wink,
117
the stranger lifted his hand.
118
No!
119
shouted Zang.
120
Freeze!
121
said the stranger, pointing at the dragon.
122
Zing instantly crashed to the floor, not moving.
123
Zing!
124
Zang fell to his knees.
125
Zing was breathing very slowly.
126
Realizing what the man had done,
127
Zang turned to face him.
128
You used a flash freeze on him, he accused.
129
That's illegal!
130
He's a tame dragon!
131
Magicka had few laws aside from the important one taught to everyone from birth.
132
Do no harm to others.
133
But everyone knew that a flash freeze should only be used in emergencies such as immobilizing a large,
134
rampaging wild dragon.
135
It was never supposed to be used on people or pets.
136
I never did like dragons,
137
the man said, examining the sparks that still ran across his hand.
138
Or reds, for that matter.
139
He rubbed his fingers together.
140
Sparks leapt from his hand now,
141
much more strongly than Zan would have expected from such a small amount of friction.
142
Freeze, the man said, pointing toward Zan.
143
Acting on instinct, Xan quickly grabbed Zing and rubbed his hands together.
144
He felt the flash freeze sizzle within a hair breath of his face as he zapped himself and Zing away.
145
Within half a second they landed in the front yard
146
and half a second after that Zan's house exploded into a million pieces
147
Zan stared in shock as bits
148
and pieces of his house went flying everywhere then a huge
149
plank flew out of the cloud of thick smoke almost hitting him in the head.
150
Xan snapped out of his stupor.
151
He nudged Zing with his foot.
152
The dragon was groggy but already beginning to emerge from the flash freeze.
153
That was one especially good thing about fire whistlers.
154
Even the strongest magic couldn't keep them down for long.
155
They were too stubborn.
156
Wake up, boy, Xan urged the dragon.
157
We've got to get out of here.
158
He doubted the stranger could have survived that explosion.
159
But then Xan remembered the strong energy crackling between the man's fingers.
160
He'd better not take any chances.
161
I'll go find Darb, he murmured.
162
Darb might be a void,
163
but he was smart and practical.
164
Maybe he could help Xan figure out what to do.
165
Xan took off running.
166
Zing shook off the last of the spell and flew after him,
167
chattering irritably and breathing out small puffs of smoke.
168
They found Darb in the same part of the swamp where Xan had left him.
169
He looked startled when he saw Xan coming with Zing.
170
What happened to you two? he asked.
171
Xan glanced down at himself.
172
His clothes were disheveled, debris stuck to his sleeves,
173
and he was covered in dust.
174
Something crazy, he began.
175
He told Darb the whole story as quickly as he could.
176
By the end, Darb looked alarmed.
177
That guy used a flash freeze on Zing?
178
He exclaimed hurrying over to the dragon come here little buddy.
179
Let's make sure you're okay
180
He tried to use one on me too
181
Xan exclaimed what kind of crazy person does that I don't know Darb looked at him
182
Do you think Boz was still in the house when it you know?
183
exploded Xan shook his head that guy said something about taking me to boss I'd better try to contact my grandfather
184
Xan conjured up a message moth
185
and quickly inscribed a simple message on its wings where are
186
you find boss he said waving the message moth off the message moth started to flap away
187
but within a few seconds it came back fluttering in helpless
188
circles darb frowned as he watched it can't locate him he
189
said softly do you think Xan's heart flip-flopped in his chest
190
it had It's been difficult enough to deal with his parents' disappearance.
191
What would he do if he lost his grandfather as well?
192
No!
193
Zan blurted out, not letting himself think any more about that.
194
I'm sure he's okay.
195
We just need to figure out where he is.
196
The stranger stepped out of the ruins of Zan's house he
197
barely had time to throw up a strong shield spell before the place had exploded
198
that explosion had been an unlucky break the red boy had
199
been especially quick the energy from his emergency zap had collided with the flash freaks causing the blast
200
and now the explosion was likely to draw unwanted attention.
201
Never mind, the man muttered.
202
I just need to find the boy before he tells anyone about me.
203
But how?
204
He could return to the fortress and check the secret eye,
205
but the secret eye merely showed the presence and location of Magicka's reds.
206
It didn't show their identities.
207
The boy would be one red dot among many.
208
Or would he?
209
Glancing down at the debris,
210
the man happened to spot the charred remains of one of those happy family blink images.
211
Grabbing it, he stared at the red boy's grinning face.
212
The man smiled.
213
The image should do the trick.
214
Yes, it should do nicely.
215
There.
216
Zan rubbed his hands together and pointed at the cave entrance.
217
A dark curtain instantly fell over it.
218
That will keep out anyone we don't want in here.
219
He looked around the cave.
220
He and his friends had gathered here many times,
221
and no adults knew about it.
222
It was the perfect hiding place.
223
The entrance was already well hidden by thick brush.
224
Xan's simple visual blocking spell meant nobody could see in even from a few inches away.
225
Xan had used the same type of spell many times to trick Zing during their games.
226
Okay, Darb said.
227
Now what?
228
He was patting Zing, who still looked tired and uneasy.
229
Xan realized he was exhausted too.
230
He'd used up most of his energy creating their hideout.
231
First, he'd had to run a quick life force locator to make sure the cave was clear of any dangerous creatures.
232
Then, he'd conjured up a few lights so he could see what he was doing.
233
And finally, there was the curtain.
234
Being a red gave Zan more power than most kids his age,
235
but after all that, he'd hit his limit.
236
He flopped down against the wall.
237
I need to figure out where Boz went, he said.
238
That guy at my house said he knew him.
239
I have no idea if he was telling the truth.
240
Darb shrugged.
241
Why would someone lie about something like that?
242
Zan sighed.
243
Darb was much too trusting.
244
He always wanted to believe the best about people.
245
Zan had been the same way himself once,
246
but his parents' disappearance had changed that.
247
Think about it, he said.
248
Reds have been disappearing all over Magicka.
249
Then this weirdo shows up at my house and suddenly Boz is missing.
250
The guy has to be involved with whatever the palace was...
251
He stopped talking with a gasp as the magic curtain shattered and a fast-moving figure burst into the cave.

練習のヒント
この動画のスピードとトーンに適応するためのshadow speechを行いましょう。まず、動画を数回観て、大まかなストーリーを理解します。その後、特定のフレーズを繰り返し聴きながら、自分自身で声に出してみてください。特に、感情表現や急な変化がある部分に注意を払いながら、発音とイントネーションを合わせることが重要です。
また、動画の速さに慣れるために、初めにスロー再生してみるのも良い方法です。一度、リズムとトーンを感じたら、徐々に通常のスピードに戻して練習してください。その際に、shadowing siteとして利用することで、より効果的に発音を改善できます。音の高低や強弱を意識して練習し、自然な会話につなげましょう。YouTubeで英語学習を行う際も、この反復練習を日常化することで、英語力向上につながります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
