Yume100 Translations

 

Rosso:  "Yeah, this ship is full of their memories…it doesn't carry their bodies, but it houses their souls. If this ship is destroyed……This time, I won’t fail them."

  

Rosso’s words kept running through my head.

 

He’s going to keep going on with the ship like this…?

 

A sail that’s been patched countless times, and a deck that’s rotting…

 

Looking at it, I felt a mixture of complicated feelings.

 

At this rate, someday the ship will sink…

 

Thinking that, a chill ran up my spine…

 

Rosso: "What’s this? You’re making such a serious face. That gloomy expression has no place on this voyage."

 

OO: "…!"

 

I jumped in surprise at the sudden cheerful voice in my ear.

 

OO: "Hey, knock it off. You look like you’ve seen a ghost."

 

While saying that, Rosso put something hard on my head.

 

I went to feel it…

 

OO: "…an apple?"

 

Rosso: "Yeah, cut it for me. I’m far too busy reading this navigation chart!"

 

Rosso unfurled a sea chart with a flourish and showed it to me.

 

OO: "…? Fine."

 

While thinking it odd, I slid the knife into the apple …

 

Rosso: "Ooh! You’re pretty good at using that knife. How about it? You wanna be the exclusive chef for this pirate ship? Ah…exclusive to me, how’s that!?"

 

OO: "…! Geez, are you teasing me again?"

 

Rosso: "Kuku…OO, you were making such a miserable face. If you eat that apple, it’ll brighten you up."

 

With a thump, Rosso tossed aside the sea chart and threw himself down in its place.

 

He was trying to cheer me up…

 

Though I was happy for his thoughtfulness, for some reason my chest tightened painfully.

 

…I’ll try.

 

OO: "Rosso."

 

Rosso: "Aaah? If it’s an apple, toss it in my mouth."

 

OO: "It’s not about that…it’s the ship. I just don’t think your comrades would want you to tie yourself to the ship like this…"

 

Rosso: "Then you’re saying I should betray them and give up the ship?"

 

OO: "…!"

 

His tone had turned suddenly sharp, and I looked at Rosso in surprise.

 

I could see the depths of grief that wavered in his eyes.

 

[CHOICE]

• You’re not betraying them (SUN)

• Yes (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rosso: "Don’t say anything to me like that again. I’ll keep protecting this ship. For them…"

 

OO: "Ah…"

 

Rosso bit his lip in frustration and left.

 

... 

 

……

 

After that, whenever I tried to talk to Rosso…

 

OO: "Um, Ross…"

 

Rosso: "…"

 

He had come to avoid me.

 

…

 

……

 

What should I do?

 

I could only gaze out at the wide sea, buffeted by the salty breeze.

 

I wonder if Rosso would be happy, being with this ship all the time.

 

As I thought about it…

 

Sailor 1: "Ms. OO."

 

Turning around, I saw the gathered members of the crew.

 

Sailor 2: "Um…do you think you could somehow persuade the captain for us?"

 

OO: "Eh…?"

 

Sailor 3: "Of course we have no intention of forgetting our lost comrades. But…Please, no matter how much time passes he keeps giving us that same sad smile. Besides, the ship is already at her limit."

 

Sailor 1: "At this rate…"

 

OO: "All of you…"

 

The crew expressed their feelings, thinking of Rosso, to me.

 

As I thought…it’s no good like this.

 

Sailor 1: "Please, he’s stubborn but… Ms. OO, if you talk to him he’ll probably listen."

 

OO: "I understand…I’ll try."

 

So, I went around to Rosso’s room.

 

OO: "Rosso…please. Please listen to me."

 

I pleaded with Rosso, my heart unwavering.

 

After what felt like a long silence, finally…

 

Rosso: "I got it. Ha…it’s been a while since someone’s looked at me with such fierce eyes. I don’t dislike people with eyes like that."

 

OO: "Rosso…!"

 

But then…

 

The light drizzle turned into a violent downpour, and intense thunder echoed in the distance.
