1
What's happening with the Oratrees?
2
I believe it is preparing to carry out the death sentence.
3
Marina!
4
Ah!
5
No, I still need answers!
6
You...
7
Sorry, that shocked expression on your face is just too amusing.
8
I couldn't help myself.
9
You are not Farina.
10
Who are you?
11
Ah, the sweet sound of bewilderment.
12
Marvelous.
13
A sure sign that my attempt to deceive everyone was a resounding success.
14
But to answer your question, I am Fosalor.
15
You know, the god.
16
Fosalor?
17
Why did you deceive us?
18
Oh, that wasn't my goal, of course.
19
Goodness, no. But I had to fool everyone else, too, if I was to stand any chance of deceiving the heavenly principles.
20
Deceiving the heavenly principles?
21
It's all because of that pernicious prophecy.
22
Dreadful, wasn't it?
23
Everyone doomed to dissolve.
24
Fontaine condemned to be flooded.
25
One was not amused.
26
In fact, one was positively bemused when that problem was thrust upon me by my dearest predecessor.
27
That's the former Hydro Archon Egeria for the uninitiated.
28
hardly gets more disastrous than a preordained national catastrophe, now does it?
29
She knew full well that the prophecy would surely come to pass.
30
And as one of the seven, she also knew full well that one defies the heavenly principles at one's peril.
31
So yes, as you have no doubt surmised, it was a rather impossible situation that I found myself in.
32
I spent a terribly long time mulling it over, alone on the ocean floor.
33
And I was almost growing barnacles by the time I finally realized there was only one possible solution to this confounding conundrum.
34
I had to outwit the heavenly principles, allow the prophecy to be fulfilled,
35
ostensibly at least, while saving everyone at the same time.
36
I'm a genius, I know.
37
I can only assume that's why Egyria chose me as her successor.
38
Although, looking back now, it was hardly the inheritance one dreams of.
39
Between the task of saving the nation, the quotidian duties of the Hydro Archon,
40
and not to mention the original sin of creating a new race of humans,
41
I dare say she left me quite a colossal mess to clean up.
42
That one can only play the hand one is dealt.
43
I did not choose this any more than I chose to be one of her Oceanid familiars.
44
So you were also once one of the Oceanids, transformed into a human by Egyria's hand.
45
Yes, I was.
46
I always dreamed of becoming human.
47
And I still do, even now.
48
In my eyes, to be human is to be part of the greatest opera ever known.
49
After becoming a god, I separated my divinity from my body and spirit, leaving behind only a self that was as naive
50
and bewildered as my past self on her first day as a human being.
51
The me you see before you now is that divinity.
52
And the human counterpart I left behind, I named Farina.
53
She could feel joy, sorrow, and everything in between.
54
She could be as vain and conceited, or as meek and vulnerable as she wished.
55
Her strengths were of a kind only a human could possess, as were her shortcomings.
56
But in my eyes, Farina's humanity was what made her perfect.
57
She was perfectly human in every way.
58
The person I always wanted to be.
59
Anyway, so then I cursed her.
60
All part of the plan, of course.
61
The plan to deceive the heavenly principles.
62
Do you still remember the final scene of the prophecy?
63
The Hydro Archon alone, weeping on her throne.
64
In order that the prophecy might appear fulfilled, I invited Farina to be an actress,
65
to play the part of the Hydro Archon in the prophecy.
66
After the curse I placed on her, so long as I, Fosilor's divinity, continued to exist, she could not die.
67
But nor was she free to live her life in the pursuit of happiness.
68
Instead, she was forced to take the stage in the Opera House, to embrace the role of leading lady,
69
to forever play the part of the god from the prophecy,
70
all to create a the deceitful appearance of that prophecy coming to pass.
71
I suppose now you probably understand why your court is called the Opera Epicles.
72
But Farina is only human, isn't she?
73
Even though she has had a long life, her mind is no stronger than that of any other ordinary human being.
74
I cannot begin to fathom what she has had to endure.
75
It must have been torture for her.
76
It has indeed.
77
And although she is, in a sense, me in human form, I most definitely owe her an apology for it.
78
It's been five hundred years, and all along, she's been playing her part in the most unimaginably long,
79
unbearably lonely, and agonizingly painful opera of all time.
80
So even Farina doesn't know the truth?
81
You've never once let her in on the full plan?
82
Yes, it had to be done.
83
To deceive the heavenly principles, you must first deceive yourself.
84
She did very well.
85
If she had let her resolve falter even once in these five centuries, Fontaine would have been doomed to the most tragic fate.
86
It seems that trusting humanity was the right decision after all.
87
I believe that I understand how your deception works.
88
But that is only half the truth, is it not?
89
How would you build on this foundation to save the people of Fontaine?
90
That is the most important thing.
91
Ah, good, good.
92
Of course the Eudex of Fontaine has pinpointed the crux of the issue.
93
I'm sure you've long sensed that the Oratrice is no simple machine, yes?
94
I've always suspected that it had its own consciousness, and Linny did mention that he heard a human voice within the core chamber.
95
It now seems that that person was you, hidden within the machine all along.
96
Am I right?
97
And then I became one with the Oratrice, taking Fontaine's gnosis with me.
98
Yes, it would seem so, wouldn't it?
99
Alas, your understanding of this device still lacks sufficient depth.
100
In truth, it is no enactor of justice.
101
It is, in fact, a device created to kill the god of justice.
102
I beg your pardon?
103
Oh, you have it.
104
And to be more precise, not only will the Oratrice take down the God of Justice,
105
it will also take down the divine throne upon which she has been placed.
106
I mean, did you think I would be the sort to enjoy peaceful repose while Farina suffered?
107
My work over these last 500 years has been to constantly accumulate Indemnidium within the Oratrees.
108
But really, some have already discovered
109
that only a small fraction of the energy generated by the device was ever used to provide power to Fontaine.
110
The vast majority has been, had to be accumulated to enact this death sentence.
111
It was all a part of your plan then.
112
Both the trial and the sentence.
113
Indeed.
114
This power, accrued over five centuries, could have sustained Fontanians for millennia had it only been used for that purpose.
115
Almost all of it has now been stored within the Oratrees.
116
But only power of this magnitude could hope to destroy the Hydro Archon's divine throne.
117
Shaking the rules established by Celestia, and breaking through the institution that is the Seven.
118
So the Oratrice's call for death was for neither Farina nor Phocelor, but for the Hydro Archon.
119
The destruction of that divine throne...
120
If I do not misunderstand your intent, you must be...
121
Returning what's rightfully yours to you, of course.
122
In other words, this was all done to return the authority of the Hydro Archon to the Hydro Dragon of this planet. But...
123
Oh, what?
124
Getting sad again, are we?
125
The authority of the ancient dragons shall soon be yours once more, oh Hydro Dragon Sovereign.
126
And this is the face you make.
127
All you've done throughout the years is just so you can sacrifice yourself at the very end.
128
I've never quite seen it that way, you know.
129
Even now, I'm quite pleased at how well my deception worked.
130
Hydrodragon, Hydrodragon, don't cry.
131
I must say, had it been within my rights, I would have loved to judge the heavenly principles themselves.
132
Were they not guilty of essentially the same crime?
133
Egyria stole the power of the primordial sea, and the heavenly principles stole the power you ancient dragons possessed.
134
I, for my part, am the god of justice.
135
And is it not just that your original powers should be returned to you?
136
Speaking of justice, I have always believed that justice lies in the process of pursuing human existence itself.
137
So, if the theft of the primordial seized might was Fontaine's original sin.
138
Then, leaving matters of procedural right and wrong aside,
139
the descent of the Fontaineans as humans and their right to exist in this world would be Fontaine's original justice.
140
In other words, existence was Egeria's justice,
141
and to me, justice is the continuation of that existence.
142
Defying the prophecy and ensuring that Fontaine's people shall live on,
143
that should be the justice enthroned over all others.
144
At this point, we, whether it be myself or all other Fontanians,
145
have shouldered the burden of this sin for far too long.
146
Eudex Nervilet, the highest judge in our land, when you regain your full power as an elemental sovereign,
147
what verdict shall you pass upon us?
148
So when I was invited to the Court of Fontaine to serve as Eudex, I see now that that was your idea too. At last.
149
I now understand the true purpose behind this position.
150
In the beginning, I was uninterested in human existence.
151
But these five centuries of living alongside them have gradually brought about mutual understanding between us.
152
And I have even attempted to feel as they feel.
153
You are a devious one, Fus'alor.
154
Things being as they are, surely you know that I could never declare them to be guilty.
155
Ah, the hour of my execution is almost here.
156
For the sinner, the curtain call has come.
157
I know I may not sound it, but faced with death, I find myself a little afraid.
158
this is one thing both gods and humans have in common.
159
Farewell, Nervilette.
160
I hope you've enjoyed the part you played these 500 years.
161
I love you.
162
The End
163
The End
164
I, Eudex Nuvillet, hereby declare,
165
people of Fontaine, your sins are forgiven.

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。
