I want to sleep together with you ♡ Spring Bedtime

アナタと一緒に眠りたい♡ SPRING ベッドタイム

Character Bio

Joker (Voice: Ayumu Murase) By making Joker frustrated with Hosshi, we got to see the Joker's funny, impatient faces in Season 3-4. (Director Teramoto)

ジョーカー (声/村瀬歩) 「ジョーカーにホッシーへの苦手意識を持たせたことで、シーズン3.4ではジョーカーの焦った面白い顔が見れました」(寺本監督)

Hachi (Voice: Yumiko Kobayashi) Hachi is now "Hachi the Phantom Thief Apprentice" and is on the same advance notice as Joker, but one day we may be able to call him "Hachi the Phantom Thief". (Director Teramoto) ハチ (声/小林由美子) 「今は“怪盗見習いハチ” でジョーカーと一緒の予告状ですが、いつか “怪盗ハチ” と言える日が来るかもしれませんね」 (寺本監督)

Spade (Voice: Hiro Shimono) In episode 44, Spade's bond with Ai alongside Spade's childhood was depicted, and the gap between episode 43 and 44 is quite drastic (laughs). (Director Teramoto)

スペード (声/下野紘) 「第44話のスペードは、幼少期のスペードとアイの絆が描かれた第43話とのギャップが激しかったです (笑)」 (寺本監督)

Phoenix (Voice: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka) In Season 3, the rivalry between Phoenix and Joker was emphasized, but in Season 4, the two became gradually closer.

フェニックス (赤井翼) (声/松岡禎丞) 「シーズン3ではジョーカーとのライバル関係を強調していましたが、シーズン 4ではだんだん仲良くなっていきました」 (寺本監督)

Hosshi (Voice: Atsumi Tanezaki) Hosshi is a divine beast that loves treasures and Hachi's homemade kompeito. In the rocket in episode 52, the way it spins around and squishes in a gravity-free state was also very cute.

ホッシー (声種崎敦美) お宝とハチお手製の金平糖が大好物な神獣。「第52 話のロケットのなかで、無重力状態でくるくると回転したり、むぎゅっと潰れたりしている様子も可愛かったですね」 (寺本監督)

Roko (Voice / Misaki Kuno) Since season 3 he's had few appearances so at the production site Roko’s line in episode 36, "I'm free so it's okay" became a hot topic, "'Roko, are you sulking?' (laughs)" (Director Teramoto)

ロコ (声/ 久野美咲) 「シーズン3からは出番が少なく、制作現場では第 36話のロコの『暇なんでいいですよ』という台詞が、『ロコ、拗ねてる?」と話題になりました(笑)」(寺本監督)

Main

(Top left note) Joker and friends are surrounded by tasty food. The apple pie is for Shadow and Rose, and Hachi's oden is probably for Hyakkimaru (Director Teramoto)

ジョーカーたちの周りにはご馳走がズラリ。「アップルパイはシャドウとローズ用で、ハチのおでんは百鬼丸用かも」 (寺本監督)

Joker and company have finished their adventures in Season 4 so now we're here. It's Japan in Spring, where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! It seems that everyone is enjoying Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) while feasting on Hachi's cooking. I wonder what kind of festivities they have in store, Director Yukiyo Teramoto!

"March 13th is Spade's birthday and April 13th is President D's birthday, so this could be a celebration for them as well. The apples may have been a gift from D."

I want to keep watching the peaceful atmosphere of the phantom thieves, but they must be waiting for the next treasure!! Until we see Joker and his friends again, 'smile and au revoir'!

シーズン4での冒険を終えたジョーカーご一行が、本日やって来た場所。それは、桜咲く春の日本!　ハチの料理に舌鼓を打ちつつ、みんなでお花見をしているようです。一体どんなお祭り騒ぎになっているんでしょうね、寺本幸代監督! 「3月13日がスペードの誕生日、4月13 日がプレジデントDの誕生日なので、ふたりのお祝いも兼ねているのかもしれませんね。ほかのみんなも続々と集まってきて、りんごはDからの差し入れかも」穏やかな雰囲気の怪盗たちをずっと見ていたいけど、彼らには次なるお宝が待っているハズ!! またジョーカーたちに会える日まで、笑顔でオ・ルボワール!

Spring Blossom Interview with Director Yukiyo Teramoto

春満開インタビュー寺本幸代監督

Please tell us about the secret story behind the production of the final episode.

最終話の制作秘話を教えてください。

Finishing and shooting lasted all night for about three days, and it seems that I could see hallucinations by the end of it (laughs). I am relieved that we were able to broadcast the content that we were able to show. The trick that the passcode to unlock the missile is "HEART" was thought up by Naohiro Fukushima, in charge of screenwriting. I think the highlight was the scene where Joker writes his name on the spaceship and tells Phoenix, "Be sure to come back." I wonder when he wrote the name, but in the shot of the spaceship just before this scene, the name is obscured by light to disguise it. So the name was already written at that point.

最後は仕上げと撮影が3日間くらい徹夜して、幻が見えたそうです(笑)。なんとかお見せできる内容で放送することができて、ほっとしました。ミサイルの解除パスコードが「HEART」というトリックは、脚本の福島(直浩)さんが考えてくれました。ジョーカー的には宇宙船に名前を書いて「必ず返しに来い」とフェニックスに言うシーンが、見せどころだったと思います。いつの間に名前を書いたのかと思いますが、そのシーンに入る直前の宇宙船が映るカットでは名前を誤魔化すために光を入れて見えなくしています。なので、あの時点ではすでに書いてあるんですよ。

What was the most memorable moment for you other than the last episode?

最終話以外で、印象的だったことは?

There is a scene in the end of episode 50 where Spider Ace protects President D from a sniper's bullet and shows him the "DF" ring on his left hand, saying, "I have sworn my allegiance to President D." When the first picture came in, the ring on Spider Ace's middle finger was forgotten, so I asked for the picture to be redone and a ring to be added. Then somehow, I ended up with a picture of Spider Ace with the ring on his ring finger (laughs). The staff around me and I laughed hysterically and rushed to have it fixed.

第50話のラストでスナイパー幻魔の銃弾からプレジデントDをかばったスパイダー・Aが、「オレはプレジデントDに忠誠を誓ったんだ」と左手の《DF》の指輪を見せる場面があります。最初に絵が上がって来たときスパイダーAの中指に指輪を描き忘れていたので、リテイクで指輪を追加してもらったんですよ。そうしたらなぜか、スパイダーAの薬指に指輪がはまった絵が上がって来てしまって(笑)。周りのスタッフたちと大爆笑しつつ、慌てて直していただきました。

By the way, In this issue, we are looking into the sleeping habits of Joker and his friends! Who among them do you think is the best at getting up early?

ちなみに今号では、ジョーカーたちの睡眠事情に迫っております! 彼らのなかで、早起きが得意そうな人物は誰だと思いますか?

Hachi has to prepare food, so I think he wakes up early. It seems that Hyakkimaru is also living a proper life. It seems that Spider Ace, who is in a pumped up state after drinking coffee, will wake up early, but I feel that he will be weak in the morning if he hasn't.

ハチはご飯の支度があるので、早起きだと思います。百鬼丸もきっちり生活していそうですよね。コーヒーを飲んでヒャッハー状態のスパイダ Aも早起きそうですが、コーヒーを飲んでいないヘタレ状態だと朝が弱そうな気がします。

Is there a character you would have liked to explore more?

では、もっと掘り下げて描いてみたかったキャラクターはいらっしゃいますか?

I wanted to depict how Spider Ace came to be loyal to D. I liked Spider Ace and Detective Wolfe in the original story, and I really wanted to have Detective Wolfe appear in episode 35, but there was no room for him, so I gave up on the idea. I am glad that I was able to create an interesting combination with D and Spider Ace, but I also wish I could have drawn those two in the story. With Dai Sato, who is in charge of the series composition, I was also thinking about a story about Dr. Neo's astronaut days. When he was young, he had a moment when he saw a spaceship that was disguised as a comet for a moment due to the influence of a solar flare, and from that moment he came to believe that aliens existed. It was a shame that we couldn't depict it. Neo knew Silver when he was young, and I wanted to depict that with Purple as well.

スパイダーAがDに忠誠を誓ったキッカケを描きたかったです。スパイダー・Aは原作でのウルフ刑事とのコンビが好きだったので、本当は第 35話でウルフ刑事も登場させたかったのですが、入る隙間がなくて諦めました。そのおかげでDとスパイダー・Aという面白いコンビが出来たのでよかったという思いもありますが、あのふたりも描きたかったという気持ちもあります。シリーズ構成の佐藤大さんとは、ドクター・ネオの宇宙飛行士時代のお話も考えていました。若かりしネオが太陽フレアの影響で一瞬だけ彗星の変装が解けた宇宙船を見た瞬間があり、そこから宇宙人はいると信じるようになったという設定だったのですが、これも描けなくてもったいなかったです。ネオは若い頃のシルバーとも顔見知りなので、パプルも交えてその辺りを描きたかったですね。

Finally, please tell us what "Kaitou Joker" means to you, Director Teramoto.

最後に、寺本監督にとって『怪盗ジョーカとは、どんな存在なのかを教えてください。

For me, it is a special work that fulfilled my dream of directing an animated TV series. I myself have loved anime since I was a child, and even now as an adult, there are many works that I still remember as my favorites. There are still many stories I would like to tell from the original work, and if there is an opportunity, I would love to do a sequel. The staff also said that they would like to do a sequel, so I feel that "Kaitou Joker" is a work that is truly loved by everyone.

私にとっては、TVアニメの監督をやりたいという夢が叶った特別な作品です。私自身も小さい頃からアニメが好きで、大人になった今も好きだったと思える作品がたくさんありますが、アニメ『怪盗ジョーカー』を観てくれた子どもたちも大きくなり、いつかジョーカーたちを思い出すことがあるのかなと思うと、すごく感慨深いです。まだ原作でもやりたいお話がたくさんありますし、機会があったら続編もぜひやりたいですね。スタッフも「続編がやりたい」と言ってくださっているので、『怪盗ジョーカー』は本当にみんなに愛されている作品だと感じています。

Spring Blossom Interview 2: The Phantom Thief Roundtable Discussion

春満開インタビュー2 怪盗座談会

Nice to meet you! To start off, what do you dress in at bedtime?

よろしくお願いします! まずは、夜に寝る時の格好を教えてください

Tsubasa: I don't change my clothes.

翼「僕は着替えないよ。」

Joker, Hachi, Spade: Huh!?

ジョーカー・ハチ・スペード「え!!!」

Joker: That's so dirty. Do you even take baths?

ジョーカー「おまえきったねーな。風呂とかどうしてるんだよ?」

Tsubasa: Why should I take a bath if I don't like water? You can use flames to sterilize, so there's no problem. Even the dirt burns off.

翼「水が嫌いなのに、どうしてお風呂に入らなくちゃいけないのさ。炎を使って殺菌できるから問題ないよ。汚れも燃えつきるしね。」

Are you a good sleeper or a bad sleeper? Also, when you ask someone to wake you up in the morning, do you have a vision of how you want them to wake you up?

寝起きはいい方ですか? それとも悪い方ですか? また、誰かに朝起こしてもらうとき、「こうやって起こしてほしい!」という理想はありますか?

Joker: I can wake up on my own, so I wish people would stop pestering me. Also, when I'm ready to get up and someone tells me to hurry it up, I don't want to get up! I wonder why?

ジョーカー「自分で起きられるんだから、放っておいてほしいよなー。あと、もう起きるって思ってる時に限って「早く起きろ」って言われると、起きたくなくなるんだよ! なんでだろうな?」

Spade: It's not good to so lazy. Because of that, everyone had to wait for breakfast.

スペード「キミが怠惰なのがいけないんだろ。そのせいでみんなが朝食を待たされたんだよ。」

I see... So, since the season is Spring, do you phantom thieves have a particular favorite flower?

そうなんですね・・・・・・では、季節は春ということで、怪盗の皆さんは特に好きな「花」はありますか?

Spade: I like roses. Unlike some people, I think roses are elegant flowers.

スペード「ボクはバラが好きかな。誰かさんと違って品のある花だよね。」

Joker: Why are you looking at me?

ジョーカー「なんでこっち見るんだよ。」

Hachi: Certainly, such gorgeous* flowers suit you, Spade-san.

ハチ「確かにスペードさんはそういう華麗な花が似合うっスね。」

Joker：A 'curry' flower!? (Heart eyes)

ジョーカー「カレーな花?!?(目がハート)」

Hachi: Not 'curry'.

ハチ「カレー違いっス。」

*Gorgeous (華麗), pronounced 'karei', which sounds similar to 'カレー' (karee, curry). The joke lost in translation is that Hachi has said a gorgeous flower, and Joker hears 'curry' because the word sounds similar.

Tsubasa: I like the flower called Hanabi that I saw when I went to Japan. It was a beautiful flower burning in the sky.

翼「僕は、日本に行った時に見た花火という花が気に入っているよ。大空に燃える花できれいだったな。」

Joker：Huh......

ジョーカー「え······。」

Hachi: Phoenix-san, that isn't a flower.

ハチ「フェニックスさん、その花じゃないっス」

Spade: You're unexpectedly romantic....

スペード「意外とロマンチストなんだね・・・・・・。」

Spring is all about flowers, but is there anything that attracts you more than flowers?

春といえば「花」ですが、「花」より心惹かれるものはありますか?

Hachi: Cherry blossom viewing is great, isn't it? Let's all go to hanami together!

ハチ「お花見いいっスよね。みんなでお花見行きましょうよ!」

Joker: Oh, nice! Don't forget the curry!

ジョーカー「お、いいね! カレーも忘れんなよ!」

Hachi: Joker-san, you eat too much curry. I'd like a different menu once in a while.

ハチ「ジョーカーさん、カレー食べすぎっス。たまには違うメニューで行くっス。」

Joker: Ehhh......

ジョーカー「えー――。」

Spade: I'll ask D and the others to join us. Hachi, Dark Eye and I would like to request to have meat and apples on the menu.

スペード「Dたちにも声をかけようか。ハチくん、ダークアイと一緒に肉やりんごのメニューも頼むよ。」

Tsubasa: No curry from Hachi this time? In that case, I'll request something extra spicy!

翼「ハチくんのカレーは今回はなしか。だったら、とびっきり辛いものも頼むよ!」

Hachi: Leave it to me!

ハチ「お任せくださいっス!」

It's going to be a fun hanami! Lastly, please give a message to the girls reading this book, who are always excited to read about your great activities.

楽しいお花見になりそうですね!では、最後に。皆さんの活躍にいつも胸を躍らせている、この本を読んでいる女の子たちへメッセージをお願いします。

Hachi: It's a little embarrassing to hear that I'm doing so well~

ハチ「オイラの活躍だなんて、照れるっス~。」

Joker: Is this really that interesting? If this is the end, can I go find a treasure?

ジョーカー「こんなもんがおもしれーのか? これで終わりなら、お宝とりに行っていいか?」

Spade: Yeesh, he's so impatient. I hope you've had fun. Well, I'll be on my way, too. Adios.

スペード「やれやれ、せっかちなヤツだ。楽しんでもらえたかな? それじゃ、ボクも行くことにするよ。アディオス。」

Tsubasa: I hope there's games next time. See you under the Southern Cross!

翼「次はゲームも用意してほしいな。サザンクロスの下でまた会おう!」

Joker: Alright! Let's go, Hachi!!!

ジョーカー「よっし!行くぞ、ハチ!!!」

Hachi: Yes, Joker-san!!

ハチ「はいっス、ジョーカーさん!!」

Joker: See you next time! Welcome to the Shining Night!!

ジョーカー「じゃ、また会おうぜ!輝く夜へようこそー!!」

The Vicquisition, Translated

so, I keep going on and on about how I'm going to do a new, and revised translation of Phantom Of The G4, given that I am fluently bilingual in both Chinese and English. well, today I had the urge to translate... a certain segment of the game, both to see what I'm getting myself into, and to confirm the things I've heard it means for a certain character. that, of course, being my dearly beloved, Victor. specifically, his only appearance in POTG4 where he asks Vincent and Vanora a series of questions in order to let them pass deeper into the Myers facility.

I don't have the game itself, yet. because I abide by the rules to play VTSOM first. instead, I found a video of someone's playthrough of it - the audio is in Chinese, and not all dialogue options are covered. but in the meantime, this is quite a lot...

without further ado, my translation, notes and other commentary below the cut. Victor's lines are in red, Vincent's in purple, and Vanora's in pink.

想要我讓開很簡單。你只需要回答一些我的問題。 If you want me to make way, it’s very easy. You just need to answer some of my questions.

the player is given a yes/no prompt, and selects yes

很好。 Very good.

我們上次見面是什麼時候了，文森？ When was the last time we met, Vincent?

你以為我會記得這種事？真是自作多情。 You think that I’d remember this sort of thing? What wishful thinking. (Note: The second sentence was a bit difficult to translate bc there’s several meanings to this phrase 自作多情 (literally "self-make-many-feelings"), from being overly sentimental to self-flattery/imagining yourself as everyone’s favourite person)

是這樣嗎？ Is that so?

難道你不記得你我引以為傲的那件事了？我們那時候到達的是任何人都無比渴求的巔峰。 Could it be that you don’t remember what we were so proud of? What we had reached then was a peak everyone had been longing for.

而你卻說過，財富、知識、榮耀… And still, you have said: wealth, knowledge, glory...

player is given 3 options to finish his sentence: 是每個人都渴求的。 "… are what everyone longs for." 都毫無意義。 "… are completely and utterly meaningless." 不過是權力幾種類型。 "… are just various forms of power."

the player picks the second option

你這句話就已經背叛了來這裡的初衷了。 What you said here goes against your original intention to come here.

我隱約記得，文森·埃奇沃思從來不會後悔。 From what I vaguely remember, Vincent Edgeworth never, ever regrets.

最可怕的敵人，就是沒有堅強的信念。而能夠被輕易擊敗的人根本不配存在於這個世界上。 The scariest enemy, is to lack strong belief. And people who can be easily defeated are not worthy of existing upon this world.

he kills you with one smack of his metal hand. game over, go back to previous save…

this time the player picks the third option of above

而我們已經擁有了這些，甚至更多。 And we already had these, if not even more.

我們？別開玩笑了。 "We?" Stop joking around.

財富、知識、榮耀。沒有我哪一個你能保住？ Wealth, knowledge, glory. Without me, which one could you have kept?

沒記錯的話，你還因為此時欠在下一瓶酒。 If I’m not remembering wrong, you still owe me the next bottle of alcohol for this. (Note: In Chinese, the word they use can both specifically refer to wine, and all kinds of alchohol in general.)

一如既往的自負，你還是嗜馬丁尼如命？ Conceited as always, and still so fond of/addicted to martini like your life depends on it? (Note: Is the "addiction" literal or metaphorical? Maybe both? Truly we will never know.)

這還需要在下解釋？ Do I still have to explain this further?

的確，好的基酒對一杯馬丁尼十分重要。 Indeed, a good base spirit is essential for a martini.

3 dialogue options for the player again, all with the following structure: 所以我當然不會放過到手的頂級⋯。 "And so, of course I will always have some top tier [option below] on hand." 杜松子酒 gin (Note: Literally "juniper berry wine" which I didn’t recognise at first bc usually I see it written as 琴酒 which reflects it phonetically) 白蘭地 brandy 伏特加 vodka

the player picks the third option

伏特加？你以為自己是在調製什麼？ Vodka? Just what do you think you are mixing here?

player gets two options to answer him with: 一杯血腥瑪麗。 A Bloody Mary. 一杯激情海岸。 A "Passion Coast". (Note: I've done some rudimentary research on cocktails, but have never heard of something with a name like this. If anyone knows what this is, I'd appreciate the help. EDIT: a friend of mine on discord has informed me that it's most likely referring to the cocktail called Sex On The Beach)

player picks first option

血腥瑪麗？人道，「惟有經歷諸多苦難才能懂的苦難賦予你的意義」。 Bloody Mary? People say, "only by experiencing much suffering can you understand the meaning the suffering bestowed upon you."

虛假的苦難，虛假的血腥。這和你的過去比起來算什麼？ False suffering, false blood. How does this even compare to your past?

我親愛的文森，你都已經忘記了你所承受的一切嗎？那你的存在就沒有意義了嗎？ My dear Vincent, have you forgotten all that you’ve had to go through? And now your existence no longer has meaning?

he kills you, game over, go back to previous save

player picks vodka again and then second option of above

激情海岸？一向只喜歡乾身酒的你，怎麼可能喝這些果汁飲品呢。 Passion Coast? You’ve always only liked dry cocktails, how could you drink this kind of fruity/juice based beverage?

and again, he kills you. bro, stop judging people's taste in drinks 😭

player picks gin for the original question

這個自然。等我們從這個鬼地方出去，我給你便是。 Naturally. Once we get out of this damn/accursed place, I’ll give you some.

慢著，那件事指的是什麼？ Wait a second, what do you mean by "that thing/event/incident" ? (Note: I take it she’s referring to the above "what we were so proud of" thing)

薇諾拉，「好奇心是大腦貪求的慾望」。慾念太強對身體可不好呢。 Vanora, curiosity is a desire the brain craves. And to desire for it too strongly is not good for the body.

看來你的這位同伴想知道的格外多呢。 Looks like this companion of yours knows quite a lot.

作為一名律師，我能做的僅僅只能讓人摒棄自己的信仰罷了。她的好奇心與我無關。 As a lawyer, all I can do is make people abandon their own beliefs. Her curiosity has nothing to do with me.

沒想到你也有無能為力的一天？ And you didn’t think you’d also have a day where you’d be powerless?

對方可是要以妨��執行公務的罪名將我逮捕呢，你說是吧，薇諾拉女士？ The other side/party wants to capture me for interfering with official duties. Isn’t that so, Miss/Lady Vanora?

哈哈哈。堂堂梅爾斯職業律師居然會因此害怕？ Hahaha. The dignified professional lawyer of Myers is scared of this?

再厲害也不過是一個俗人，出生起就已經被政府的一紙契約束縛著了。 No matter how mighty one is they are still a common person, already bound by a government contract at birth.

這麼說來，我突然想起你當年引用的一句話。不帶劍的契約不過是一紙空文… What you said, suddenly reminds me of something you said back then. A contract without a sword, is simply a blank paper.

player is given 3 options now, to respond: 而政府的職責，便是化身為此劍。 And the government’s duty is to manifest as this sword. 它毫無力量去保障任何人的安全。 It has absolutely no power to protect anyone’s safety. 只有突破這本不存在的枷鎖，才能真正跳出羊圈。 Only by breaking these nonexistent shackles can one truly jump out of the sheepfold.

player picks the third option

跳出羊圈？真是荒謬。 "Jump out of the sheepfold?" How ridiculous.

有一些人的存在，是註定不能被救贖的。 Some people’s existences are doomed to never be redeemed.

and again he kills you, because dragon cult ahh belief

player picks the first option

…真是有趣的答案。 … what an interesting/funny answer. (Note: Yes, in Chinese we use the same word for both of these)

不過我倒還記得一句話，地獄是太晚發覺的真相。那麼恭喜你獲得一張免費的地獄門票。 However, this reminds me of another saying, "hell is a truth/reality discovered too late." And so, congratulations on earning a free ticket to hell.

this time he isn't just killing you, he's SLAYING because holy shit if that isn't badass I don't know what is

player picks the remaining second option

話雖如此，你可是從來沒有怕過。 You say this, but you’ve never been afraid of it before.

我們都是遊走在劍鋒的人，這一點你沒資格說我。 We’re all people who walk on the point of a sword, you have no right to tell me this.

那你回到此地是為了什麼？ Then why did you come back to this place?

and again, 3 dialogue options for the player 任何東西都有一種特有的功能，某種工作或許只有它能做。 Everything has a unique function, and there are some jobs that only it can do. 無論這個漩渦有多令人絕望，我總是要走這一遭的。 No matter how hopeless this whirlpool/spiral/vortex will make me, I was always going to walk this path. 在下解釋過了是受人所迫。 I’ve explained that I was forced to do this.

player picks the third option

受人所迫？ "Forced?"

文森，任何人用這個藉口我都會半信半疑一下。至於你，我是絕對不會信的。 Vincent, everyone who uses this excuse, I will doubt (literally, "half-believe-half-suspect") for a moment. And in your case, I would never believe it.

and he kills you. we are so close to the end, yet so far…

player picks the first option, which becomes slightly modified for Vincent to say

任何東西都有一屬於它自己的功能。某種工作或許只有它能做，甚至比其他人更好。 Everything has its own function. There are some jobs that only it can do, sometimes better than other people, even.

真正的贏家只會讓這件東西為他所用，並讓他物超所值。弱肉強食，我只是不想看庸人螳臂擋車罷了。 True winners will only use this thing for their own ends, and give it an excellent value. The weak are meat and the strong eat, I just don’t want to see mediocre people biting off more than they can chew. (Note: The phrase they used here, 螳臂擋車, literally translates to "a mantis using its arm to block a cart", meaning to underestimate what you’re taking on)

所以，請問你問完了嗎？你已經浪費了我太多的時間了。 So, may I please ask if you’re done asking? You’ve already wasted far too much of my time.

確實。你做的很好，文森。我想，我也沒什麼好多說的了。 Indeed. You did very well, Vincent. I think I don’t have anything more to say either.

he moves out of Vincent and Vanora’s way

那就祝你們好運了。 Then I wish you two good luck.

AVA rants about FFVII localization (again)

I know I have more Opinions about media localization than the average person, but I am frankly baffled by the extent to which the FFVII franchise changes words that are already in English in the original Japanese to different (and often less appropriate) English words for no reason whatsoever.

I mean, in a game that's a thinly-veiled soapbox about ecological responsibility, did we REALLY need to change "Monsters," a word that accurately describes dangerous mutated creatures that are largely the result of humans screwing up the environment, to "Fiends," a word that refers to evil spirits? Do they think Americans are too dumb to know what a monster is? What benefit does that change offer?

Or sometimes changing the word is understandable, but then they choose something that's not an improvement. I can see wanting to change "Feelers" (the Destiny Tadpoles), because it sounds a bit odd, but "Whispers" is no more comprehensible -- in fact, it makes even less sense for something that detects and responds to changes in the timeline.

A few more from last night's Rebirth play session that struck me as especially arbitrary, just off the top of my head:

World Report -> World Intel

Battle Simulator -> Combat Simulator

Biorat -> Toxirat (but it... it poisons you. Y'know, exactly like the Bio spell? It's right there in the name, guys)

Ancient Matter -> Protorelics (my guess here is that they didn't want players to associate the items with 古代種, which gets translated as the Ancients in English, so this one might get a pass)

...And that's leaving aside the whole saga of NPC names, nearly all of which are changed from non-Japanese names to other non-Japanese names (e.g. Green -> Billy, Val -> Vash, Aniyan Kunyan -> Andrea Rhodea, et al.). The ones that date back to the original game can be slightly forgiven because '90s localizations were Like That, but many of these are new characters for the Remake trilogy. (There's also my whole beef with altering characters' personalities -- because sweet girl-next-door Aerith wasn't edgy enough and needed to swear more, I guess? -- but I've ranted about that plenty in the past.)

Anyway, I'm getting a ton of Japanese language practice playing this game, because the English subtitles are often saying the exact opposite of what the Japanese dialogue is and using completely different names for people and things, so I have to pay attention.

号こと、怪盗キッドは、以前は絵画や彫刻、宝石などの世界の一流美術品をねらっていた。

しかし最近、怪盗キッドに狙われた美術品をみてみると、ある傾向が見られる。あきらかに怪盗キッドは世界でも有数の巨大な宝石ばかりを狙っており、しかも何やら色にかかわる異名を持つものばかり。 International wanted person number 1412

Also known as Kaitou Kid, used to aim for the world's top works of art such as paintings, sculptures, and jewelry.

However, when we look at the artworks that have been targeted by Kaito Kid recently, we can see a certain trend. Kaitou Kid is clearly after the world's biggest jewels, and most of them have different names related to their colors.

なぜ宗旨替えをしたかは不明だがこれが怪盗キッド確保の手がかりとなることは間違いない。

また世界を股にかけていた怪盗キッドが、都内近郊での犯行を多発させているのは、キッドの標的となる宝石がたまたまそこにあっただけと思われる。 It is unknown why he changed targets, but there is no doubt that this will be a clue to securing Kaito Kid.

Also, the reason Kid, the phantom thief who traveled all over the world, often commits crimes in the suburbs of Tokyo, is thought to be because the jewels targeted by Kid happened to be located there.

フルルル！ワシが三日三晩徹夜で分析した怪盗キッド逮捕のためのマル秘情報をそっと教えよう！ Furururu! Let me secretly tell you the confidential information that I analyzed for three days and three nights to arrest Kaito Kid.

(next page)

同じ色を狙わない

唯一色がだぶっているのはブルーだが、「ブルー・ワンダー」は、怪盗キッド自らが選んだ標的ではなく、鈴木財閥の相談役の鈴木次郎吉氏が挑戦状を叩き付け狙わさせたもの。つまり怪盗キッドは、これまでに狙った宝石とは違う色のものを狙う可能性が高い。これまでに狙われていない色といえば、イエローやピンクといったものが、あげられるのだが・・・ Don't aim for the same color

The only color that overlaps is blue, but ``Blue Wonder'' is not a target chosen by Kid the Phantom Thief himself, but a challenge given to him by Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki, an advisor to the Suzuki Zaibatsu. In other words, there is a high possibility that Kaitou Kid will aim for a jewel with a different color than the jewels he has targeted so far. Colors that have not been targeted so far include yellow and pink...

次に狙われる宝石

おそらく怪盗キッドは、世界最大クラスの宝石を次々狙っていると思われる。すると今までに狙われていない宝石が、つぎの標的に選ばれる可能性が高い。有名な宝石では、ダイアモンド、ガーネット、アメジスト、ラビスラズリなどがまだ狙われていない。特に怪しいのはダイヤモンドであるが、ヨーロパ最大のものは過去に狙われているので、それ以上のものが・・・！ The next jewel to be targeted

Kaitou Kid is probably aiming for the world's largest jewels one after another. Then, there is a high possibility that a jewel that has not been targeted before will be selected as the next target. Among the famous gemstones, diamonds, garnets, amethysts, and lapis lazuli have not yet been targeted. The diamond is particularly suspicious, but the largest one in Europe has been targeted in the past, so there's something even bigger than that...!

結論怪盗キッドが次に狙うのは・・・ピンクかイエローの世界最大のダイアモンド！

Conclusion Kaito Kid's next target is... The world's largest pink or yellow diamond!

ボクさえいれば、いつでも捕まえます。こ〜んなの時間の無駄！ As long as I'm here, I'll catch you anytime. This is such a waste of time!

だいたい宝石の色は数えきれないほどあり予測は不可能。たとえばニューヨークのオーロラ・コレクションは、２００種類もの色の邇う宝石が集められていて、一堂に展示される様子は、光輝くオーロラそのもの。

There are countless colors of gemstones and it is impossible to predict. For example, the Aurora Collection in New York is a collection of jewels in over 200 different colors, and the display all in one place is just like the shining aurora borealis.

さらに、ルビーとして分類されている「レッド・ティアー」だけど、本来コランダムという宝石の中で、赤色のものだけがルビーと呼ばれる資格を持っているんだ。したがって青色の「レッド・ティアー」は、サファイアに分類されるのが普通。それに同じ種類でもいろんな呼び方があるから、色も宝石の種類もこれっぽっちの手がかりで予想はするのは難しいよ。

Furthermore, ``red tear'' is classified as a ruby, but among the corundum gemstones, only red ones qualify to be called rubies. Therefore, blue "red tier" is usually classified as sapphire. Also, there are many different names for the same type of gemstone, so it's difficult to predict the color or type of gemstone based on just a few clues.

Legends and myths about trees

World tree - the source of wisdom of the ages

The world tree is a motif present in several religions and myths around the world. It is represented as a colossal tree which supports the heavens, thereby connecting the heavens, the terrestrial world, and, through its roots, the underworld.

Many Eurasian mythologies share the motif of the "world tree", "cosmic tree", or "Eagle and Serpent Tree". More specifically, it shows up in "Haitian, Finnish, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Norse, Siberian and northern Asian Shamanic folklore".

The World Tree is often identified with the Tree of Life, and also fulfills the role of an axis mundi, that is, a centre or axis of the world. It is also located at the center of the world and represents order and harmony of the cosmos. Each part of the tree corresponds to one of the three spheres of the world (treetops - heavens; trunk - middle world or earth; roots - underworld) and is also associated with a classical element (top part - fire; middle part - earth, soil, ground; bottom part - water).

Its branches are said to reach the skies and its roots to connect the human or earthly world with an underworld or subterranean realm. Because of this, the tree was worshipped as a mediator between Heavens and Earth. On the treetops are located the luminaries (stars) and heavenly bodies, along with an eagle's nest; several species of birds perch among its branches; humans and animals of every kind live under its branches, and near the root is the dwelling place of snakes and every sort of reptiles.

A bird perches atop its foliage, "often .... a winged mythical creature" that represents a heavenly realm. The eagle seems to be the most frequent bird, fulfilling the role of a creator or weather deity. Its antipode is a snake or serpentine creature that crawls between the tree roots, being a "symbol of the underworld".

The imagery of the World Tree is sometimes associated with conferring immortality, either by a fruit that grows on it or by a springsource located nearby. In some descriptions this "water of life" may also flow from the roots of the tree.

The world tree was an important element in shamanistic worldview as well, and it is said that the giant bird ... hatches shamans in the branches of the World Tree.

Some species of birds (eagle, raven, crane, loon, and lark) are revered as mediators between worlds and also connected to the imagery of the world tree. Another line of scholarship points to a "recurring theme" of the owl as the mediator to the upper realm, and its counterpart, the snake, as the mediator to the lower regions of the cosmos.

Northern Eurasian and Central Asian traditions wherein the World Tree is also associated with the horse and with deer antlers which might resemble tree branches.

Some scholars have pointed out that, from the perspective of evolutionary biology, the concept of a world tree may have originated in human thought. This is because our ancestors lived in trees for about 60 million years, and for them the trees were everything in the world. This is why the collective unconscious that the world is made of giant trees has remained with us to the present day.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

世界樹〜時代の叡智の源

世界樹は、世界中の宗教や神話に見られる概念、モチーフである。天を支える巨大な木として表現され、それによって天と地上世界、そしてその根を通して冥界をつないでいる。

多くのユーラシア神話が「世界樹」「宇宙樹」「鷲と蛇の樹」というモチーフを共有しているとされている。具体的には、「ハイチ、フィンランド、リトアニア、ハンガリー、インド、中国、日本、北欧、シベリア、北アジアのシャーマン伝承」に見られる。

世界樹はしばしば生命の樹と同一視され、また、世界軸、つまり世界の中心や軸の役割を果たす。また、世界の中心に位置し、宇宙の秩序と調和を表している。樹木の各部分は世界の3つの圏（梢-天、幹-中世界または地、根-地下世界）のいずれかに対応し、古典的な元素（上部-火、中部-地、土、地面、下部-水）にも関連している。

その枝は天空に届き、根は人間界や地上界と地下世界や地底界をつなぐと言われている。そのため、この木は天と地を結ぶ媒介として崇拝された。梢には星や天体があり、鷲の巣がある。枝には数種類の鳥がとまり、枝の下には人間やあらゆる動物が住み、根の近くには蛇やあらゆる爬虫類が住んでいる。

その葉の上にとまる鳥は、「しばしば......翼を持つ神話上の生き物」であり、天界を表す。鷲は最も頻繁に見られる鳥で、創造主や天候の神の役割を果たしているようだ。その対極にあるのは、木の根の間を這う蛇や蛇のような生き物で、「冥界の象徴」である。

世界樹のイメージは、そこに生る果実や近くにある泉によって不老不死をもたらすことと関連付けられることもある。この「生命の水」は木の根からも湧き出るという記述もある。

世界樹はシャーマニズムの世界観においても重要な要素であり、「巨大な鳥は......世界樹の枝でシャーマンを孵化させる」ともいわれている。

いくつかの種の鳥（ワシ、ワタリガラス、ツル、ハシビロコウ、ヒバリ）は、世界をつなぐ媒介者として崇められ、世界樹のイメージとも結びついている。また、別の研究では、フクロウは天上界への媒介者であり、それと対をなすヘビは宇宙の下界への媒介者であるという「繰り返されるテーマ」が指摘されている。北ユーラシアや中央アジアの伝統では、世界樹は馬や、木の枝に似た鹿の角とも関連づけられている。

一部の学者は、進化生物学の観点から、世界樹という概念が人類の思考の中に元から備わっている可能性を指摘している。というのも、人類の祖先は約6000万年にわたり樹上で生活しており、その時代の彼らにとっては木々こそが世界のすべてであったと考えられるからである。そのため、この世界は巨大な木で出来ているのだという集合的無意識が、現在の我々に至るまで残っているのだというものである。

【Performance Review】Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe “ENCHANTEMENT–A Luxurious Perfume“

Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe Performance starts performing in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre from February 18 onwards.

Musicla Romance “MAYERLING” (Original work / Claude Anet, Script / Shibata Yukihiro, Adaptation・Direction/Koyanagi Naoko) and Takarazuka Spectacular “ENCHANTMENT–A Luxurious Perfume–” (Script and Direction / Noguchi Kousaku) is a two-set work. It will be performing till March 19.

(Source taken from mati sowa // Spoilers below the cut)

Since there was a contrast of Koyanagi’s calm approach to the musical, after “MAYERLING”, there was a brighter layer of glamour in Noguchi’s “ENCHANTEMENT”.

With the golden tuxedo, the white suits and kungfu-like costumes, these gorgeous costumes are like layers adding onto each other, there were a variety of beautiful and powerful dancing.

About the “Perfume”, the whole show is composed and divided into 3 parts of “Top Note” “Middle Note” and “Last Note”.

After all, if we think of perfume, there are American standard numbers (scenes) and the wonderful music of classic famous songs that strike an impression, all of these are across the show.

The dominating CHUUZUME and the moving singing scenes in the Middle Note was exceptionally memorable.

Before the performance, during the stage rehearsal in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre, Yuzuka said this upcoming comment.

“This stage performance that we deliver in the theatre exists because of the support from everyone. As we will soon embrace Shonichi, I’m in heartfelt gratitude. The show is about the world in the tragic love story of the 19th century Crown Prince and the baroness, the show is about me as perfumer inviting everyone to this enchanting night. From New Year’s Day we already performed in the Takarazuka Grand Theatre, and finally as we enter spring, we will start performing in the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre. Please look forward to it until Senshuuraku!”

【公演評論】寶塚歌舞團花組「ENCHANTEMENT–華麗的香水–」

寶塚歌劇團花組公演於2月18日起在東京寶塚劇場開演。

浪漫音樂劇「梅耶林」（原作/Claude Anet，劇本/柴田侑宏，潤色・執導/小柳奈穂子）和Takarazuka Spectacular「ENCHANTMENT-華麗的香水-」（腳本和指導/野口幸作）是兩套作品。公演將繼續到3月19日。

（以下為劇透）

在小柳冷靜處理音樂劇形成對比之下，在「梅耶林」之後，野口的《ENCHANTEMENT》多了一層光彩。

金色的燕尾服，白色的西裝，功夫式的服飾，華麗的服飾層層疊疊，跳動著各種唯美而有力的舞姿。

關於「香水」，整場演出分為「前調」、「中調」和「尾調」三個部分。

畢竟，如果我們想到香水，有美國標準的場景和經典名曲的美妙音樂，這些都貫穿了整個節目。

「中調」有壓倒的中詰和動人的歌聲，格外令人難忘。

公演前，在東京寶塚劇場的舞台排練中，柚香說出了這句即將到來的評論。

「在劇場這個空間上演的舞台公演是因為有大家的支持才存在的。因為我們即將迎接初日，我衷心感謝。劇講述了19世紀皇太子與男爵千金的悲戀故事的世界，秀是我作為調香師邀請大家來到這個迷人的夜晚。從元旦開始我們就在寶塚大劇場演出，終於終於在進入春天的時候，我們將在東京寶塚劇場開始演出。請在千秋樂前期待這公演！」

It's Been Long Enough / Kitsune's Return

"Lady Kyuushi?"

A lack of response, little more than the static buzz of a broadcast experiencing difficulties from beyond the door. Followed by a voice, one of a man, screams, and explosions all distorted slightly by various degrees of electronics. A voice, on a slight delay, seeming to repeat the words in translation.

"混乱のさなか、干渉が当社の機器に影響を与えているようです。"

-"In the midst of the chaos, interference seems to be affecting our equipment."

"私たちは、イベントが発生したときに引き続き報告するよう努めています。"

-"We are committed to continuing to report events as they occur."

"前に見たように、東京の上空にある種のドラゴンが現れ、今、何かがドラゴンと戦っているように見えます。"

-"As we have seen before, some sort of Dragon has appeared in the skies over Tokyo and now something appears to be fighting the Dragon."

"ドラゴンはすでに損傷しているようで、体の一部が欠けており、他の部分は骨にしか見えません。"

-"The dragon appears to be already damaged, with parts of its body missing and other parts looking like bone."

"何がドラゴンと交戦しているのかをはっきりと確認することはできていないが、深紅の閃光と尾のように見えるものを見たという複数の報告がある。"

-"Although it has not been possible to clearly confirm what is engaging the Dragon, there are multiple reports of seeing what appears to be a flash of crimson and a tail."

Another burst of static cutting off the audio of the broadcast. The Doll takes a redundant breath, and sighs a few seconds later. "Lady Kyuushi, you've watched that broadcast a number of times now. I understand your worry, and all of us share in that worry, I assure you, but it has been a month. Records have shown that, in the past, their response has been near instant. If the Gods have not acted by now, it seems safe to assume they aren't going to."

Silence, still, beyond a shift of fabric and the sounds of chaos resuming.

"申し訳ありませんが、渋谷交差点の近くに戻ります。ドラゴンは空からノックアウトされ、戦闘は地上で続いているようです。"

-"Sorry, but we are back near the Shibuya intersection. The Dragon has been knocked out of the sky and the battle appears to be continuing on the ground."

"そのため、私たちはドラゴンと戦っている存在の様子をよりよく見ることができることがあります。"

-"Thus, we sometimes get a better view of the being fighting the Dragon."

"一見すると人間に見えますが、人間ではないさまざまな特徴を持っているようです。"

-"At first glance, they appear to be human, but they seem to possess a variety of non-human characteristics."

"尻尾が何本も生えているように見え、頭頂部には耳か角のようなものが見える。"

-"It appears to have several tails, and the top of its head appears to have ears or horns."

A pause in the report is met with a scream from the reporter just barely audible over a loud, horrid roar. It's tone deep, volume loud, yet while it sounds rather intimidating, it also seems rather hoarse as well. As if the vocal cords of whatever was making the sound were strained, or perhaps damaged. Static briefly bursting from the report, before clearing again. The prior scream replaced with a loud crash of glass.

What sounds like a burst of flame can be heard, before a rush of wind follows, and a war cry from a feminine voice immediately after. The roar of the Dragon heard again seconds later, though what sounds akin to a gurggling is now present among it. The noise dragging on for a moment longer, waning, before a loud thud could be heard. Some kind of hissing starting, a shallow growl behind it, until a high pitch whine takes over that builds until a loud chime rings out.

"それは…ドラゴンは倒されたようです?"

-"It looks like…the Dragon has been defeated?"

The reporter speaks after a pause, some disbelief in their voice.

"ドラゴンと戦っていた存在が、ちょうど建物の側面に投げつけられたところだった。"

-"The being that was fighting the Dragon had just been thrown against the side of the building."

"でも彼らはどういうわけか直前に止まり、まるで目に見えないプラットフォームにいるかのように空中に留まりました"

-"But they somehow stopped just before and stayed in the air as if on an invisible platform!"

"すると、ある種の光が彼らを包み込み、彼らの服を着替えさせ、どういうわけか彼らに大きな剣を与えました。"

-"Then a kind of light enveloped them, made them change their clothes, and somehow gave them a large sword."

"彼らはドラゴンに突進し、喉を突き刺してひっくり返しました。"

-"They lunged at the Dragon, piercing its throat and flipping it over."

"ドラゴンが立ち直ろうとしている間に、彼らは再び光に包まれ、服装が二度目に変わり、剣が杖に変わった。"

-"While the Dragon was trying to recover, they were again enveloped in light, their attire changed a second time, and their sword turned into a staff."

"そして、ある種の呪文を唱え、その呪文が自分たちから外に向かって脈打ち、ドラゴンを攻撃した。ドラゴンは今、崩壊しているように見える。"

-"Then they cast some sort of spell, which pulsed outward from themselves and struck the Dragon. The Dragon now appears to be disintegrating."

"彼らはドラゴンから降りています"

-"They are descending from the Dragon."

"彼らは女性のように見えます"

-"They look like a Woman."

"長い赤い髪。"

-"Long red hair."

The reporter's words are interrupted with a quick, soft gasp. Then a whispered...

"彼女は…"

-"She's..."

The audio stops, either cut off entirely or merely paused, some ruffing able to be heard through the door. Hotaru, once again, taking an unecessary breath as she adjusts her stance. Crossing her arms before the sigh that follows this one, just as it had the last. Her foot starting to lightly tap against the wood floor of the home.

"I've frequented the Mythos communities nearby, and in Tokyo itself, throughout this past month. None have reported hostilities towards them from Humans, neither those of the common people or the few who have been aware of us already. Some have been experiencing an increase in Human visiters who have been genuinely curious, but they've been few and far between." Taking a brief pause, ceasing her bouncing foot and shifting her weight.

"The Elves appear to be a aggited, but that's mostly just their old ways, spouting nonsense about how we can't disturb the balance of the world and what not. Elders of various Species have been working to help prepare the Mythos community for the possibility of becoming more entangled with Humanity, both the good and bad outcomes of such. Not to mention that there's been no sign of anyone searching for Kitsunes with intent to harm them, nor has anything attempted to enter the Shrine Lands that isn't supposed to be here."

As her voice stops, silence falls again. The ocassional breath beyond the door or shift of fabric being the only sound to break the pause that starts to hang in the air. Joined a few seconds later by the tapping of claws against wood, and a soft and curious cry of "-sol?" Emerald eyes drawn to look to her side where Hotaru sees Tsuki, the Absol Kyuushi had caught and brought back to the Shrine Lands, standing at her side. His red eyes looking back at her, their gazes meeting for a moment.

Clearing her throat, Hotaru squats down next to the Pokemon, reaching a hand over to gently stroke through the fur mane around it's neck a bit. "We all miss you, Lady Kyuushi. Us here in the Shrine Lands, and those in the Mythos communities that know you. Not to forget how much your Lovers across other Realms might be missing you. Plus, it's likely that the Sovreign of Dawn has recovered your Mother's White Whistle by now, don't you think?"

Silence, again, though for a much shorter period of time now before shifting sheets again. The soft creak of wood, and a series of steps approaching the door. A familiar sliding of cushioning material against wood as the door is slid open, Kyuushi stepping through in her full humanoid form. Blue gradient sections of skin, long dark claws, tall horns, furred ears, collective tail hanging just above the floor. Bags under black sclera eyes, ocean blue irises rimmed by the faintest bit of piercing yellow, tired, full of worry, hints of fear and uncertainty, but a touch of renewed determination.

Though an odd moment falls where the Kitsune simply just... stands there, taking slow and deep breaths, not saying anything or looking to the two in the hall. Until, finally, she turns her gaze to them and inhales to speak.

"I'm going to bathe. Bring a change of clothes, my delving gear, Perditor, and the stored vials of my blood."

Short, direct, commanding, but it was better than silence. It got a small smile across the Doll's face, and the Absol trotting over to nuzzle against her leg with a wag of it's curved tail. An action which was met by the Kitsune easing down a little to pet the top of it's head, before she stands again and steps past and through the hall filled with her vast collection of foreign Realm objects toward the foyer. Trodding straight through and to the front door, which she slides open, stepping outside onto the veranda and taking a deep breath under the sunlight.

Raising her hands, she clasps them together and reaches them high above her head as she stretches with a groan. Some joints popping, a bit of chittering rumbling from her throat amid the groan of effort, her tails separating and splaying out behind her as their fur puffs out. A shake rattling her entire form, then a deep sigh as she lets her body relax again.

Beside her, during all this, Kage had sat up from where he was rested against the wall. The Zoroark lifting it's head, excitement making it's tail flail, before it releases a howl that echoes through the Shrine Lands. Almost as if signalling her return, to which movement starts to take life across the landscape.

The sands of the beach shifting and rising, falling away to reveal Blu, the massive Garchomp, who stomps over and happily greets her trainer. Flapping metal wings following shortly after as Ser, Kyuushi's Corviknight, lands atop Blu's hammerhead and caws out with a flare of it's wings. Stepping down from the veranda, the Kitsune takes a moment to greet both of them, or at least she was about to when a burst of movement slams into her, almost knocking her over completely. The source of which now wrapped around her, giggling, and lifting it's bright pink eyes up to look at her.

"Friend Kyuushi! Friend Kyuushi! Axel happy to see Friend Kyuushi!"

Ever the giant ball of energy and happiness, it was almost contagious. A smile starting to curl the Kitsune's lips as she wraps one arm around him, raising her other hand to pet the top of his head. The attention quickly getting his head lifting to press into her touch like a cat or dog.

"Yes, Axel, it's good to see you again too my adorable little friend." She returns the energetic greeting with a warm, affectionate tone. Not even getting to set the Chimera down before she's approached by others. Saku flying over to nuzzle her cheek, Zip and Puff bounding over to her feet, Kit gekkering from the edge of the roof above. She could even smell and sense Artig nearby, though a quick glance around wouldn't grant visual on the odd Feline being.

"Thank you for checking on me, everyone, I'm fine, and I'll recover before too long. My mind's just been a mess for a while with everything that happened." She speaks to the group that had gathered around her, easing Axel down to the white sands as she does. "Mind waiting a little longer for me, everyone? I want to clean up then I have some business to wrap up before I get back to work."

Those around her give nods and noises of acknowledgement, though it's only now that she really notices one hasn't greeted her yet. Takibi, her Quilava, wasn't anywhere to be seen, nor did she smell or sense them in the vicinity. First to cross her mind was that, perhaps, they were in the Sanctuary with the others from their Realm. Nothing had been brought to attention to make her consider anything had happened to Takibi, so for now she decided to let them be and focus on her business.

A bit more short interaction with other residents of the Shrine lands, a brief walk along the river that fed into the lake around the Grand Tori, and Kyuushi arrived at the pristine waterfall. It's chill waters felt fantastic on her sore, stiff body as she stood beneath it. The magickal aspects the waters of the Shrine Lands had been blessed with were quick to work on her body, easing built up tension and losening tightened joints. Of course it wouldn't be as thorough at loosening her up as a proper massage, but maybe she could venture to the Gegenees Masseuse after she returns from the Ido Front.

It would be a short while after that the Doll would eventually approach. Perditor slung over her shoulder, a set of simple clothing on one arm, her delving gear on the other, and a small container carried by an ethereal hand of emerald energy. A small bow of the head as their eyes met, before Hotaru would await her Lady's exit from the waters. She wouldn't even be two steps out of the river before being engulfed by blue flames as she takes her true form. Trotting over toward her companion in such Feral form, before being enveloped again and emerging in her humanoid state once more, dried of the water that had been clinging to her body just seconds prior.

A mere two minutes would pass as the Kitsune dressed, swiftly donning her equipment and receiving her Artifact from Hotaru. She had a meeting to get to that, by this point, was likely long overdue. Enough time had been wasted, and she didn't want any more to pass unnecessarily. Collecting the container from Hotaru last, once everything was set in it's place and secured, she opens it briefly to check on the contents. Five sealed vials of bright, flowing, Kitsune blood. Sealing the case again, she stores it away safely, gives the Doll her thanks, and in a blur of motion darts for the Tori.

Those still gathered in front of the home atop the white sand beach don't even have a proper moment to glimpse their host leaping from the edge of the crater. One swift blur of red dashing toward and through the Grand Tori Gate and vanishing with a gust of wind as she passes through.

Meanwhile, for the Kitsune herself, it's all a rush of color. An exciting rush, but a rush nonetheless. The familiar shades of her home, her companions, then the brief endless expanse of all existence. Seconds after, a setting sun over the edge of the crater that the grand city of Orth had been built within. The sky a beautiful mix of oranges, reds, blues, and the faint beginnings of deep dark shades of the coming night sky in this Realm.

She doesn't even stop to take in the familiar, beautiful view, however. Not bothering to watch for anyone who may be watching the entrance of the Abyss in this moment, she launches herself out and over the center of the pit and eases herself into a dive down to it's depths. Passing straight through the layer of clouds that obscurs it's entrance into the first layer. Passing straight through in seconds, into the Abyss proper, all coated with countless layers of subtle, thin, colorless, gossamer like haze to her eyes now.

Down, slipping through hundreds, thousands of the gossamer sheets that were the curse of this place. Surging past the vast hill scapes, cliffs, and forests that lined the expanse that was the Edge of the Abyss. Passing into the inverted massive trees that hang from beneath the first layer that makes up the second, the Forest of Temptation. Plummeting past their canopies to the entrance of the grand chasm that was the third layer, the Great Fault. She can already spot a Crimson Splitjaw flying about, even at the distance she was, but she wasn't about to let it halt her descent.

Though she wasn't about to waste a use of Perditor's Arrow of Light, not on something that, at the moment, felt so trivial. Waiting as she continued to speed down through the vast pit, drawing closer and closer to the beast. By the time it notices her, she would already be too close for it to intercept her if it were to head straight for her. If the Beast wanted to chase her, it'd have to let gravity take it much like she was doing.

Sure enough, it would do just as she expected. Immediately twisting it's thick, serpentine body into a downward angle and surging down. It's added weight and the aerodynamic aspects of it's form would grant it the speed needed for it to not only keep pace, but make enough room between itself and it's supposed prey. After a moment longer of it's downward trajectory being able to turn and begin up towards Kyuushi, opening it's large maw with a loud hiss.

She would meet such a frontal assault with a shift of her tails, the nine furred appendages curling, stretching, and sliding down along her form to envelop herself. Surrounding her body, they twist and mold to her form, stiffening as their tips meet past her head. Their formation taken and the grooves along them starting to spin the now encased Kitsune rapidly as the air catches.

A slight adjustment to her overall form would set her path ever so slightly off from the Crimson Splitjaw. Combined with the rapid rotations and the speed of her descent against it, the beast would be met with a swift, brutal impact. The point formed by her stiffened tails catching the side of it's open maw, and carving through it to push past along the side of it's long body and shoot past to continue down.

The beast, crying out in pain and frustration, though unable to properly attempt to correct and follow. Disoriented from the hit, it can only veer off and crash into one of the cavern openings in the cylindrical wall of the chasm. Kyuushi, hearing the sound of it's impact quickly getting quieter behind, quickly flares her tails out around her. Knowing the speed she was going, and the shape of the descent path through the Abyss, the fourth layer would demand she slows herself.

Letting her tails puff out as much as they can, it works to create more drag and slow her a fair bit. Not by much given her speed and the less than proper method she was using, but it was more than enough for her to flip herself head over foot. Calling upon the Magicks her Kitsune blood granted her, the soles of her shoes start catching on an unseen surface as they alight with blue embers.

Utilizing her air-walk, she adjusts the angle of her feet, slowly easing herself out of the downward descent into more of an angled path just as she exits the grand chasm. Steam from the warm, constant shifting waters of The Goblets of Giants greeting her instantly felt pleasant to her skin. She would adjust her angle, continuing her angled descent for the moment and let her eyes wander to take in the landscape below.

With the nature of this layer, the placement of everything was never the same between visits. At least not this high up in the layer. The formations that made up the 'goblets' were always collapsing as others grew in around or below them, thus the initial entry would always shift and change. The land below, however, as the Abyss would begin to adjust and curve toward the fifth Layer, was thankfully fixed in it's placement and formation. Offering a vast contrast between the two that, at times, was a little baffling to see the two extremes in the same space.

Just another reason Kyuushi loved this Realm, loved the Abyss, despite all it's dangers and the life-threatening conditions she had to contend with. It felt rather freeing, returning here after having been away for so long, and with the Abyss blessing no less. The way the gossamer cover of the curse was constantly in flux, shifting this way and that, opening up in some places while others closed off, she could truly travel this place much more freely now than she could before.

She would have to remind herself she wasn't here for such a thing, a short shake of her head and focussing her mind back to her task. Scanning for any threats, thankfully no Orb Piercers were in sight, allowing her to turn her gaze to pinpointing a path down through the Goblets. Finally easing to a stop mid air after a moment longer, the Goblets a mere hundred feet or so below, her movement changes into a series of leaps. Lunging forward and down bit by bit, catching herself in the air upon more ethereal embers, then launching again.

Dipping down past the edge of one Goblet, she catches herself just above the waters of another. Doubling back to slip between the edge of this new one and the underside of the prior, where she can drop for a bit before having to stop again. Darting over a smaller Goblet, past a waterfall that feeds into it from one above, she finds another opening to drop through that gets her past the Goblets' caps.

Finally letting herself land proper, her feet meet one of the support structures for a Goblet. One that curves off and around, under others, which she follows for the moment. Descending more casually now, through still at a sprint, until her path is intersected by another support. Here she leaps onto the new one, following it briefly before letting herself drop to another that's further down. One after another, down further and further through the maze of growth, the solid ground below growing closer and closer by the minute.

Until, finally, her feet set down on dirt once more. Dark, thick dirt which puffs into the air ever so slightly on impact. Her coat and tails easing down around her, a hand rising to adjust her hat and ensure it secure atop her head before checking on her Artifact still set o'er her shoulder. A satisfied nod, a little proud of herself for such a swift descent, even though she had more to travel still.

Though, with her location in mind, she did wish to take this leg a little slower. To check in on a specific part of this layer, and to inspect it's condition. Thus she would begin this last leg of her trek, through a few caves, down a cliff, past a few ponds, then through a small forest to a vast hillscape which granted a vast view. Rolling hills along the ground before her in a slight decline. The Goblet supports in the distance rising above, waterfalls pouring down from the caps, steam filling the air lightly.

Most still scorched, dead from the Sovreign of Dawn's method of exterminating an infestation. Though she could spot a few scant spots here and there, smell them even, where greenery was starting to return to the landscape. No sign of the flowers that once decorated it so beautifully, sadly, but she could still take comfort in knowing the land was recovering. If there was anything she was sure of with the Abyss, it would be that it was capable of a great many things.

With her curiosity satisfied, and a bit of hope improving her mood, Kyuushi would launch herself over the hillscape to get to the remaining descent proper. Dirt becoming pale sands, the light of the landscape prior fading away and darkening as the walls of the abyss close off over head. The sounds of life and rushing water fading into the background as silence starts to take hold. The Ido Front, dark, cold, still imposing in the distance even with the large section of it missing, ever present in the distance at water's edge.

Instead of crossing the sands directly, knowing full well the dangers that were present in this place, she would tread across the air just a foot above. Not dedicating herself to a full sprint this time, but still pressing onward quickly wishing to be done with this deal and to return home. There was still so much for her to do, after all, the sooner she could get back to it all the better.

Just a few minutes would be all that passed before she was approaching what acted as the entrance to the ruined Ido Front. Having spotted one of Bondrewd's Hands on her path, despite it's attempts to avoid her, she wasn't surprised one bit to see the White Whistle himself standing in wait to greet her. Stepping just out from the entry and putting his hands forward and out in a familiar, excited gesture.

"Ah~ Lady Kyuushi, how splended it is to see you again! It has been quite some time, you are alright I hope?" He bellows out in his usual grand tone, with only the faintest hint of actual concern.

"Don't try and make it seem like you were actually worried about me, Bondrewd. We both know you merely wanted the samples of my blood now that I've adapted." Shot back quickly, almost coldly, even with how good a mood she was currently in.

"My my, rather blunt and direct don't you think? It is true that I have been anticipating this delivery, but to think I wouldn't be worried about whether such a marvelous being such as yourself was in good condition? I would so love to run a great number of experiments on you, and I could only do so if you were alive..."

Silence falls between them for a few seconds. The helmeted man seeming to freeze in place, while Kyuushi's eyes narrow and her tails puff, readying herself for some kind of assault. Thankfully, such would prove to be unnecessary. The Sovreign of Dawn moving one gauntletted hand behind his back into his signature stance, while his other rises as if giving a signal.

One of his Hands, the assistants that aid his work, stepping forward from the shadowed hallway that was past the entrance. His hands cupped together in front of himself, an object wrapped in cloth set in his hold. Walking out past his leader, he makes his way to stand before Kyuushi, holding out the object for her.

With a bit of caution, the Kitsune moves a hand to pull the cloth from it's folded state to see the item beneath. Sure enough, as promised, a White Whistle. Some small chips here and there, but a little surprisingly clean. Likely cleaned by one of the Hands on Bondrewd's order so it would be in good condition for when she came to claim it. Intricate carving and detailing giving it an appearance akin to a sakura bud right on the verge of blooming.

The sight of it causes her mind to flash back to her memory of her true first visit to this Realm. To being a young, curious Kit, only barely having learned to take Human form a year prior, being lead through the Torri and exiting into a vast cavern. Impossibly lit, it's landscape twisting, turning, and dipping wildly, it's plant life vibrant and countless ruins of buildings long abandoned everywhere. Of course, the vast array of wild life that existed too. Including the tall, almost giraffe like Turbinid Dragon that attacked her and her Mother...

Such was the last time her eyes saw this treasure of her Mother's. To see it here, now, was almost magical. So much so that her vision began to blur as her chest grew tight, tears welling in her eyes. A few blinks to let what was present loose, she would ever so gently take the whistle in hand. Immediately able to feel the power that seemed to vibrate in it, and the odd gentle warmth that it seemed to inherently emit, even now all these decades later.

Bringing it to her chest, she clung to it a moment in silence. Taking a deep breath to gather herself and calm her emotions. Letting one hand free so she could retrieve the case with the blood samples promised, replacing the Whistle's place in the man's hands with the case. Taking a second to look up to his helmeted head, give a small but genuine smile, and bow a little to him.

"Thank you so much for taking such good care of it."

The Hand doesn't speak in response, but returns the slight bow of the head in both acceptance of her gratitude, and reciprocation for what was provided in return. Gently securing the case in his grasp before he turns to return to the interior of the Ido Front, continuing down the hall likely to whatever labratory room the Sovreign wished.

Bondrewd himself, still remaining in his spot, would bring his hands in front of himself again. Clapping them together once, and bowing forward a bit himself.

"Marvelous. A deal fulfilled on both sides, without any harm or destruction. A Mother's treasure returned to her Daughter, and samples for tests provided. I will sorely miss your visits, Lady Kyuushi, but I will forever appreciate your generous donations. I do hope we will meet again."

She can practically feel his thirst for whatever experiments were rushing through his mind in his voice. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to be snarky, not right now, not with what had just been done for her. Kyuushi, instead, takes a quick breath before bowing in return.

"And I thank you greatly for agreeing to utilize your resources to recover this for me. I won't forget this good will, but please do still refrain from trying to pull anything with me. I may visit again in the future, if anything else comes up. Otherwise, your Hands might see me around. Goodbye, Sovreign of Dawn."

The masked head bows again after her words, an action she reciprocates this one last time. Watching him turn, folding his arms behind his back as he disappears into the darkness of the Ido Front's interior. Vanishing into the shadows, such a fitting way for him to make his exit. Much like the star speckled and nebula riddled expanse that was her path home as, with none watching her, she calls upon the Grand Tori and takes a simple step backward.

Her next step lands upon those familiar ethereal embers, just above the sparkling waters of the lake that surrounded the Tori Gate. Taking in a breath of the familiar, comfortable, safe air of her home, then looking down to the whistle in her grasp again. Finally letting the smile that tugged at the corners of her mouth take form across her face.

Turning to begin her return to shore, to the white beach that was the foundation of her home. Her gathered companions had dispersed, mostly. Tsuki and Kage cuddled up together on the veranda by the door, their heads rising as they notice her return. Hotaru, kneeling opposite from them by the door, who's head rises and her eyes scan Kyuushi. Quickly taking note of the whistle in her grasp, to which a smile of her own takes hold. Blu, the massive beast she was, laid across the sand just in front, though it would appear she was asleep given the loud snoring rumbling from it.

A small, gentle jump would carry Kyuushi up, over, and past Blu's slumbering mass and onto the small walkway directly. Stepping over to the Doll as she rises, Hoshi's fluffy white head poking out from the collar of her top, she holds the recovered treasure forth for them to see.

"A beautiful treasure, Lady Kyuushi, it makes me happy to see it returned home. I'm certain your mother cherished it greatly, and is happy to know it has been recovered." Her tone soft, genuine, caring. She knew such topic was sensitive, but she was also aware of how accurate such a thought surely was. Even if she hadn't met the Matron herself, from what she had been tld of her, she felt she understood well enough with what she had been told of her.

"Yes... I'm sure she would be overjoyed... I can remember how down she seemed to be back when she first lost it. Happy that I was safe and secure considering the dangers that had presented themselves, of course, but I could tell there was something off for a while after. I'm certain they held on the best they could all this time for her sake, considering how warm it still is to the touch."

Hotaru, taking a moment to allow silence to fall as they simply just... take in this moment briefly. Easing a hand up to gently close Kyuushi's around the whistle, holding it over the Kitsune's. Looking up to meet her eyes again in a silent expression of understanding and relief before opening her mouth a second later to speak again.

"While you were in the Realm of Orth, I took the liberty of contacting Alexis to schedule a massage for you for tomorrow. I figured your bath earler wouldn't have been enough to recover from your isolation entirely. I also spoke with others of the Mythos community in the area, and none have reported anything wrong or off since the event. No issues with Humans, or Gods, still. I have heard some talk of an Oni of deep blue asking around about you, however. He apparently seemed excited by what you had done."

"Do you think anyone told him about me?"

"Those who I spoke to mentioned they did not tell him anything he didn't already seem to know. Which, one mentioned, seemed to be quite a bit, despite his time away from you."

"Not entirely surprising, given what little of his past I do know." A brief snicker from the Kitsune. "I'm just glad to hear he's still okay. To know he's so close is nice too, I will admit, but just knowing he's still active is good enough... I can't let him down by falling behind on projects we have going."

"Might I suggest checking in on The Sanctuary, then? Someone's been leading the construction efforts when I've not been present, and they'd be quite happy to see you after so long. Though he may look a bit different." A small smirk crossing the Doll's face.

The suggestion got a brow to rise above the Kitsune's eyes in interest, a bit of curious excitement spurring her collective tail to start swinging about behind her. "I will do just that, thank you, Hotaru."

Before she moves to leave again, Kyuushi takes a moment to hug her companion. A gesture that's reciprocated happily as the two take a moment to simply enjoy the embrace, and turn their minds forward to whatever would come next. Easing away from one another, though still holding on, they share a short look of renewed confidince and determination.

After which, they part and begin about their separate business. Kyuushi setting into a quicker pace across the veranda then down to the sands to head uphill to the pagoda past the shrine. Hotaru stepping aside before vanishing, entering her Pocket Dimension to work on some things herself.

Pacing up the stone-step-covered hill, approaching the shrine atop it, Kyuushi eases her pace a little. Turning her gaze to the shrine itself, a small smile and a soft sigh escaping her. "Things are changing for the better, it seems, dear Ancestor. Perhaps you can watch it change through my eyes, seeing how they've got a hint of yours in them."

A small bow given in reverence to the Grand Kitsune of which she spoke to, a few seconds pause, before straightening herself to continue her path. A full turn awau from the shrine, then a light jog for the Pagoda and up it's small set of stairs into the structure proper. Immediately letting her eyes drift to her left, where the new podium had been installed a short while before everything happened.

A fairly simple podium, wooden, not secured to the floor so that it could be moved if needed. Atop which, however, sat a small shrine with it's doors open wide. Within, atop a small cushion, sits an orb of what appears to be glass with a green tint. Though, when looking at it, one would see that it is anything but opaque. A landscape visible within, though vastly smaller and yet so finely detailed. The sky above similarly visible, and the hints of a storm present in the form of dark clouds off to one side.

What catches her attention about it first is the change at the center of the landscape. She can't quite tell what exactly has happened, but at the very least she could see that a fairly sized clearing had been made in the forest at the center of the sprawling land. Reaching a hand forward to it, she concentrates on her connection to the pocket space to grant herself entry.

When next her eyes open, sunlight shining on her from above now instead of being in the shaded pagoda, she's greeted by the sight of a great many uniquely colored Pokemon. Some are carrying supplies, others are lifting objects or holding them in place, a few are securing things together. Various buildings all being constructed, a small village of sorts almost completed around the entry point of the Sanctuary. All in an older, more traditional style similar to her home outside.

At her arrival, however, there are a number of the creatures who rushed over to greet her excitedly. A pair of Pichu, a Noctowl, a Teddiursa and it's Ursaring parent lumbering behind it, among others. Though it would be a moment before one in particular darted over, practically tackling the Woman with a hug. Immediately the scent and sense from the being was familiar to her, but as her gaze turned to take in the view of them, it was... a Typhlosion?

She reciprocated the embrace regardless, but she was admittedly confused for a second. Though seeing it's wildly happy expression at seeing her as it looked up, it finally clicked. "Takibi?" Asked with some excitement behind her voice as the new form began to make more sense to her. The Typhlosion, hearing it's name called, excitedly crying out and rapidly nodding it's head.

"Well well!" Amusedly responding to the confirmation, she gently breaks the embrace and moves herself and Takibi both to provide some space to allow her to look over his new form in full. "Look at you! So big and strong now, much different from the little Cyndaquil I saved! Plus I hear you've been leading the others in aiding the construction too, yeah?"

" 'Phlo'!" He starts to reply, going into a series of shouts and chatter that, thankfully because of the Magicks of the Kitsune species, Kyuushi could understand. Tell of how, at first, Hotaru had been leading the construction for entire days in a row. Of how, at first, it was only him and Kyuushi's prior caught Pokemon helping with the efforts. Though, after some time, he had started paying more attention to how the Doll was guiding everything, and learned how to read the blueprints provided bit by bit. Eventually starting to aid Hotaru, then taking over from time to time so she could return to other duties.

For Kyuushi's side of this exchange, she couldn't help but feel so much pride and appreciation for the Typhlosion. A wide smile crossing her face, her collective tail swinging about behind her, and excitement bubbling up within. Once he was finished, she would embrace Takibi again, firmly hugging the sepia toned Pokemon. "Thank you for putting in so much effort, Takibi. I'm sorry I locked myself away for so long."

A moment of the two taking in one another's presence again passes before they separate once more. The Kitsune setting a hand atop the Typhlosion's head and petting him a bit with some chuckling. "Now, how about you show me around?" After lifting it's head into her touch, the Fire Type happily cries out and nods it's head. Turning to begin guiding it's Trainer through the in-progress settlement and show off what was completed, and what was still needing to be done.

Kyuushi would be present for the rest of it now. At least, as much of it as she could with other things needing her attention still. Not to mention the many people she missed greatly.

対策とセットで公開しろよボケがまずサンプルはhttps://www.neo-blood.co.jp/を見れば大体わかるこういう詐欺サイトにはひっかからないようにしようなで、対策見分け方としてはhttps://www.ccj.kokusen.go.jp/jri_sysi?page=sgSiteあたりが参考になる最初から騙されずに買わないのが一番いい。このサイトで予習すればだまされる率も減るだろうで残念ながら騙されてしまった場合。汎用的な対処法についてはhttps://www.ccj.kokusen.go.jp/chatbot_answer?page=mhuhn&ksi=creditの3．クレジットカード会社への相談についてを見ろ追記を見たが銀行振り込みの場合はhttps://www.ccj.kokusen.go.jp/chatbot_answer?page=mhuhn&ksi=paidが参考になるだろう。クレカ会社より早いかもしれないぞ警察行って被害届出して、銀行に行くだけだな。頑張れで、ここから↓は「クレジットカードで買い、決済も通ってしまった」かつ「商品が届かない」場合に限っての戦い方を書く理由は実際に俺（正確には家内）が受けた被害がそのタイプだからだまずは不正利用の可能性があるので、即刻カードを止めるそのときに、「チャージバックの手続きをしたいんだがどうすればいいか」も一緒に聞いておくあとからチャージバックの手続きを取ることになる※ちなみに最初に消費者センターに相談したが、最終的にはVISAにチャージバックを申し込むしかないので、消費者センターの出番はない。親身に相談には乗ってくれたが実効力は無かった。次にメールが返ってこないことを承知で以下のサイトのサンプルをベースにした「契約取り消し通知書」を、おそらくは贋サイトに設置されているお問い合わせ窓口のフォームやメアドに送るhttps://syouhisya.net/nettsuhan_torikeshitsuchi/Ａ）通常のバージョンを使うといい　※AとB間違えてたので訂正　すまんこれは相手に届けるのが目的ではなくその後の手続きをスムーズに進めるための材料づくりなので催告とかまでは要らないと思う　どのみち内容証明郵便では送らない（そもそも送るための住所がダミーだし送っても意味ない）俺が送った実際のメールは下記　見ればわかるがAをベースにしているなお業者には名前と住所を知られてしまうことになるが、どうせ通販と思って買っているので向こうにはバレている通知書令和４年２月７日株式会社アクセサリー本舗　御中住所　××県　××××××××××××１０１氏名　●●●●貴社の運営するサイトで購入した商品の売買契約の解除（取消）について私は、令和４年１月２２日、貴社の運営するウェブサイト（ https://trailover.top/ ）において下記に挙げる商品を購入する旨の申込みを行い、同年１月２２日、貴社サイトに記載されている要領に従って当該商品の購入代金として金８４９０円を支払いましたが、未だ貴社から購入した商品の送付を確認することができない状況です。つきましては、私は貴社と取り交わした当該売買契約を解除（又は取り消し）いたしますので、至急、お支払いした商品の購入代金および送料の合計金８４９０円を返金くださいますようお願い申し上げます。記1 x |||1列3段タイプのフラップチェスト（約）幅40cm■色：ホワイト・ナチュラル・ブラウン［ディスプレイラックマガジンラックラック壁面収納見せる本棚木目収納キャビネットフラップ扉お洒落シンプルモダン選べるカラー］ (500028211) = 7,040円1 x お買い得品！携帯電話スマートフォン用ネックストラップ idカードネックストラップ首に掛ける十分な長さの丈夫なストラップはワンタッチで取り外し可能。安い子供用、ガラケー|||モバイルネックストラップ。スマホストラップ首かけ型落下防止ロングストラップ。ワンタッチで外してスマホリングにも。旧携帯や社員証、IDカード入れ、パスケースにも。キッズキッズ携帯子供 iPhone エクスペリア (lqd_neckstrap01) = 200円カラーシルバー1 x お湯の上でもふってチャポチャポ、カラカラ！赤ちゃんの感覚を刺激するバストイ|||あす楽【munchkin マンチキン】ベビーバスボール (ピンク・ブルー)知育玩具赤ちゃん水遊び水あそびお風呂遊びおもちゃシャワー出産祝い誕生日お祝いプレゼントギフト (tymu11381) = 440円カラーカラーバリエーションブルー1 x 冷凍ケーキ/パスキエ/マカロン/冷凍/|||ケーキ屋さんやカフェと同じ味わいをご家庭で！ BRIOCHE PASQUIER［ブリオッシュパスキエ］パスキエマカロンコレクション（6種各2個）［冷凍のみ］【3～4営業日以内に出荷】 (26461-1) = 810円以上で、これを1日1回、5日間ほど連続で送り、都度PCの時刻が入るようにしてスクショを取るか、お問い合わせフォームの場合は「入力して送信前に」PDF印刷しておく（お問い合わせフォームは所詮ダミーであり、送信するとテキストデータは闇に呑まれるだけなので）俺の場合はメールとフォームへの問い合わせを両方やって全部記録を残したさらに2週間程度待ち、いつまでも返信が無いしモノも送られてこないことを確認する駄目押しで最後通告をもう一通送ってもいいしつこく送っても返信が来ることは無いので限りなくしつこく行く　こうすることで民事上の要件は十分満たすはずだどうせ向こうは日本の法律に従う気はないが念のためだほんで、そのスクショを手元にカード会社に連絡し、チャージバックの手続きを行うhttps://www.gladiator.jp/false-pretenses/2019/11/07/%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC/既に停止のときに問い合わせしていて、チャージバックの手続きが分かっていたり、必要な書類が手元にある場合はその通りに進めるそうでなければ改めてクレジットカード会社の窓口に連絡して口頭で話せばチャージバックに必要な書類とか連絡先を教えてくれるだいたいは家に書類が届いてそれに返送する形になるかと思うあとは教えてもらったとおり／紙に書いてある通りに、クレジットカード会社にチャージバックの訴えをしこしこ書いていく要点としては①そもそも特定商取引法に基づく表記のない詐欺サイトであること②運営者の住所氏名がダミーであること③商品が届かないこと④商品が届かないことを理由に催告を再三行ったが返信が無いこと　このとき、撮っておいたスクショやPDFを参考資料として添える　郵送の場合は印刷して同封する俺の場合は上記を述べたうえで、さらに余白に英訳した文も載せた理由は向こうの上司的な存在はVISAになるだろうからだ　意味があるかは知らんあとはVISAが頑張ってくれるので待つ、返金を確認して終わり俺の場合は3か月くらいかかったが詐欺師から無事金を取り返し、その金で焼肉を食ったたかだか8000円のためにどんだけ時間と手間をかけるんだという思いもあるが、泣き寝入りして詐欺師を儲けさせることは嫌だったので戦ったお前も泣き寝入りしてないでちゃんと戦え。詐欺師に儲けさせるな「ボケが」について解説するたいした理由ではないが複数ある詐欺手法の拡散が目的という割には情報が無い　これが一番でかい　サイトを示すとお前が幇助とかになるのが怖いのかもしれないが、俺が貼ったまとめサイトみたいなのもあるし、スクショ撮ってもいいし　https抜きで晒すとかやりようあるだろ　文脈付きで晒した実物に騙されたとか言ってお前を責めてくる奴がいるわけねえだろ、常識で考えろ　んで対策もぶっちゃけ自分が取ってないから、見た人がどう行動するべきかも書いてないじゃん　なんも情報ないから得られるもんがねー　注意喚起になってねーからそれ結局泣き寝入りして詐欺師を儲からせてるくせに「Googleの責任」　チャージバックは調べたところ支払いを踏み倒す制度なので、チャージバックされればそのまま詐欺師への有効打になる　銀行口座の場合はも��と迅速にもっとヤバ��口座凍結という手段が取れる　口座凍結されたらまっとうな回復手段は無いらしい　クリティカルヒットだ　かように戦う方法はある　やってないのはお前　（やってるならそのまま頑張れ、勝ったら報告しろよ）　戦って詐欺師から金をもぎ取り返してから他人の責任を問え微妙に間違った情報を書いている　ベトナム人がどうとか商品がニッチだとかはぶっちゃけ本質ではない　差別はやめろ　スクレイピングで吸い取ってるんだからお前だろうと誰だろうと何かニーズを満たす商品を乗せてるに決まってる　名前なんか適当に決めてるんだからどの国籍だってあり得る　判断基準はそういうのじゃなくて、トップレベルドメイン（.top, .shopとか）、特商法に基づく表記、住所氏名がダミー、値付けがおかしい、他の商品の説明が明らかにフリマサイトとか　あとはまあ消費者センターのHPに全部載ってる　愚痴る前にちゃんと精査してから共有しろ騙されて反省してます感が足りない　騙されたことはお前の落ち度　真摯に受け止め反省しろ　俺は騙されたの自分じゃなかったけど、もし自分が騙されたとしてもそこは反省して、それはそれとして戦ってたと思うよ闘志が足りない　https://i.imgur.com/1r7WKKL.jpeg
