こんにちは、土屋です。 一昨日、遂にヒュムノスミュージカル「ココナ～二つの詩　二つの想い」が発売となりました。お買い求めいただいた皆様、如何でしたでしょうか？また、まだ購入を検討されている方も是非お買い求めいただき、聴いてみて下さいね。アルトネリコ３ドラマCD、sideフィンネルを聴いていただいた方であれば、side フィンネルより前の、シュクレとココナの出逢いのシーンが描かれていますから、きっと一層お楽しみ頂けると思います。詩曲もそれぞれ長めに収録し、詩としても楽しめるようになっています！

Hello everyone, Tsuchiya here. The day before yesterday, the Hymmnos Musical [Cocona -Two Feelings, Two Songs-] was finally released. To everyone interested in buying it, what kind of album it ended being? Well, that's something you all will discover when you buy and listen to it, okay? And if you've already listened to the Ar tonelico 3 Drama CD Side Finnel, we have also included a scene depicting Shukure's and Cocona's first encounter, so I think you'll enjoy it even more. We also took quite a long time for recording the songs, so we hope you all enjoy them greatly!

さて、今回の編纂室ですが、２０件程の回答をさせていただきました。今回は今までの回答の矛盾点をご指摘いただいたものが多く、そういったご質問には、（お問い合わせいただいていない）皆様の混乱をも解消する為にも、優先的に回答させていただきました。最近この手のミスが多く、ご迷惑をお掛けしております。気を引き締めて望みたいと思います。 今回も次回の質問を受け付けております。ドシドシご応募ください！

Now then, I've accepted around 20 questions for this issue of the Technical Data Compilation Room. This time I've received a lot of contributions pointing out several inconsistencies that my answers had in previous issues, so I've given priority to answering them (even if they didn't have any questions in them) to dispel any confusion I might have caused to you all. Lately I've committed several mistakes and caused a lot of problems to you all. I wish I could focus myself better. I'll continue accepting questions the next issue as well, so feel free to send as many as you want, please!

お疲れ様です。 １）第11回でミュールはサスペンドを謳えるとありましたがシュレリア様専用ヒュムノスではないのですか？ヒュムノサーバーの「198,000SHmag/s9.8x10^5Hzオリジン専用の流量」は誤り？<br? ２）ミュールは能力が特別高く設定されていますが、塔の管理者と新約パスタリエを謳うこと以外でできないことってありますか？ ３）ティリアのプロフィール「嫌い：エオリア」にはビックリしました。そういう設定なのかもしれませんが、ヒロインがヒロインを名指しで嫌いと公言するのはどうなのかなと思います。 (クローバー)

Thank for all your hard work. 1) In the 11th issue, you said that Mir would be capable of singing Suspend, but isn't that an Hymmnos exclusive to Lady Shurelia? Or was the [198,000 SHmag/s 9.8x10^5Hz: Origin-exclusive capacity] written in the Hymmnoserver a mistake? 2) We all know that Mir was created with especially high abilities, but what wouldn't she be capable of doing aside of singing in New Testament of Pastalie or becoming a Tower Administrator? 3) I was quite shocked to see [Dislikes: Eolia] in Tilia's profile. It may have been set that way, but how would an Heroine voice her dislike for other, and what names would she call her? (Clover)

１ですが、仰るとおりで、第１１回の記述がミスです。（ハッキングなどによる）サスペンド自体の取得はミュールにも可能であるという点は変わりませんが、実際に謳う事は導力量の問題により不可能です。 ２ですが、基準が無いので何とも言えませんが、オリジンに出来て出来ない事、というのであれば様々あります。ただ、「塔の管理者になること」が出来ない前提で考える事は、オリジンは除外と考える事が出来ますので、例えば「β純血種として」不可能な事という意味ではあまり思い当たる節はありません。ただ、それはミシャなど他のβ純血種にも同じ事は言えて、β純血種というのは統一規格であるが為に、ヒュムネクリスタルはβ用であれば全員がダウンロード出来、互換性に関してもほぼ全てクリアされています。その為、あまり個体によって可能不可能は存在しないのです。 ３ですが、史実として設定した以上は正直に記述させていただいております。どうかご了承下さい。

1) As you said, what I wrote in the 11th issue was a mistake. While it doesn't change what I said about it being possible for her to gain access to Suspend (through other methods such as hacking), actually singing it would become impossible for her due to capacity problems. 2) There aren't any basic things that I can think off at the moment, although there are a few things possible and impossible to the Origins that she could do. As for the reason that makes it impossible for her to [become a Tower Administrator], we could think it's because the Origins are exceptional, but it's actually due to the fact that [she was created as a Pureblooded β-type]. That's what makes her the same as Misha and other Pureblooded β-types: βs were all made under a general standard in order to ensure full compatibility with all of the Hymn Crystals that were to be used by them, so there wouldn't be any problems in that front. Because of that, there aren't any possible or impossible things for her that other βs couldn't do. 3) That was an honest description based off historical facts. Please, keep that on mind.

いつもお疲れ様です。 先日、設定資料集を読み漁っていて疑問に思ったのですが、 １の設定資料集の延命財についての記事で第三世代は、中核三角環がないためＮＥＥのＨＤ変素環が働き体を作る定常Ｈ波をゆがませ動体Ｈ波に変換し身体を破壊していくため延命剤が必要とありました。 が、３の設定資料集の中で、EXEC_METAFALICA/.はターゲットの中核三角環を四次正角性中角環に変える働きを持ち、魔大陸の時は、ルカまたはクローシェの中核三角環を四次正角性中角環に変化させたみたいな事が書いてありました。 ・・・どういうことですか？ (rei)

Thank you for all your hard work. Yesterday, I read as much as I could of the Setting Encyclopedias, but they left me with a few questions: In 1's Setting Encyclopedia, in the article about the Life Extending Agent, it was written that Third Generations needed it because they lacked a Triangular Nuclear Loop, which made the LEM's HD Conversion Ring to transform the Static H-Waves of the body into Dynamic H-Waves, causing the gradual self-destruction of the body. However, in 3's Setting Encyclopedia, it was written that EXEC_METAFALICA/. worked by transforming the Triangular Nuclear Loop of the singer into an Autostabilizing Tesseractal Nuclear Loop, so it made it seem that either Luca or Cloche had a Triangular Nuclear Loop inside them which was transformed into an Autostabilizing Tesseractal Nuclear Loop when Deathlandia was created. ...What does this mean? (rei)

申し訳ございません、AT3設定資料集の記述が間違っております。ルカクローシェ共に中核三角環はありません。厳密には、中核三角環が有る場合は中核三角環から吸収しますし、無い場合はNEEが限界まで人間質のH波を吸い尽くします。

I'm very sorry, the description in the AT3 Setting Encyclopedia is mistaken. Neither Luca or Cloche have a Triangular Nuclear Loop. Strictly speaking, EXEC_METAFALICA/. absorbs the Triangular Nuclear Loop of the singer if she happens to have one, but if she doesn't, the LEM will instead absorb as many of the H-Waves from her human nature as possible.

１、謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～のブックレットの「にょ？」に関するエピソードの最後に「メシスの民」という言葉がありますがこれはどういう意味でしょうか？ ２、フィンネルが運動神経や瞬間判断能力に優れた個体として設定されていたと設定資料集にありますが、それらが全く発揮できていなかったのはいじめなどの影響によるものか、それとも設計どおりに能力が現れない場合があるのでしょうか？フィンネルの代わりにソーマがその能力を発揮していたのは、ソーマがフィンネルの能力を使っているということですか？ (よもぎ)

1) What's the meaning of the phrase [the People of Mesys] that appeared at the end of the story related to the [Nyo?] in the Singing Hill -Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor- booklet? 2) Finnel was configured to be an individual with excellent reflexes and the ability to take decisions instantly according to the Setting Encyclopedia. How come she didn't display any of these traits in the game? Was it because of all the bullying to which she was subjected, or there was something else that didn't allow her to manifest these traits? And since Soma was capable of using these traits instead, does that mean that Soma is capable of using all of Finnel's abilities? (Mugwort)

１ですが、申し訳ございません、伝承本の誤植です。 ２ですが、主に後者である、人格によって占有されている、というのが正解ですが、前者に近い部分もあります。実際の所は器質的な部分（筋肉など）は共有ですので、フィンネルにも同様の事が出来る筈なのですが、その精神的な部分をソーマが占有している為にフィンネルはその器質的優位について根本から認識していません。それ故に（半ば思いこみにより）その力を発揮できていないのです。

1) I'm sorry, that was a misprint in the storybook. 2) While it'd be correct to assume that it's mainly due to the latter, because of her body being inhabited by several personae, there's also something in the reason that goes quite close to the former. Actually all the personae share a physical part (muscles and such), so this should allow all of them to use Finnel's physical abilities, but since Soma overtook the mental part controlling them, Finnel isn't aware that she has all of these abilities. Because of that (and partially due to her own prejudices) it's that she doesn't demonstrate these abilities.

コーナー維持毎度お疲れ様です。 １で段々畑が出てきますが、地域によって取れる作物は違うのでしょうか。たとえば、塔の外壁（外周）を登ってる途中、アウトドアな方々が住んでるとこにも少しの畑がありますが、やはり、土地がやせてる感じですし、気候的にも段々畑にあるものとは違う作物が取れそうです。 そんな感じで、各地の特産物なんかもあると思うのですが、設定っぽいのでもあればほたる横丁近くの段々畑の名産的なものでも教えてください。あと、ここでの作物が横丁に提供されるということは、あそこに住んでる方々は大体が専業農家なんでしょうか？ (暮遷都三日月チェロ鍵斧)

Thank you for all the hard work you've done every week in maintaining this corner. The Terraced Fields that appeared in 1 have different crops from those found in the rest of the region? I mean, while climbing the outer walls of the Tower (and their surroundings), one could see several farmers and a few crop fields in there, so I got the feeling that they made their living from the land, and I was wondering if the Fields had any particular crops due to climatical reasons. Likewise, I thought they should have an specialty product like other areas, so please, tell me what specialty product they have, since they were set as being so close to Firefly Alley. Finally, given that everything produced here gets sent to Firefly Alley, does that mean that all of inhabitants of this place are generally full-time farmers? (Sunset Crescent Cello Moon Key Axe)

段々畑で採れるものはホルスの翼とは違います。それを生産するのが目当てで段々畑に住んでいる人もいます（単価が高い為）。段々畑の名産といえばランドーです。 供給先はほたる横丁がメインですが、ほたる横丁を経由してネモにも送られます。

The products that are harvested from the Terraced Fields are different from those harvested at the Wings of Horus. And of course, all the people that settle down in this place do so with the goal of producing food (because the price per unit is quite expensive). Their specialty product are Landos, and while their main customers are Firefly Alley, the Alley itself also serves as the road they use to ship their products the Nemo.

クラスタニアの将軍二名はそれぞれ武器が違いますが、成長する過程で各人が決めているのでしょうか。 アカネ将軍は判断力、分析力に秀でた設計をされているそうですが、身体能力等も第三塔の中では秀でた部類に入るのでしょうか。 (ぴょ)

The two Clusternian Supreme Commanders we know about have both different weapons, but is it decided by themselves as they grow? As for General Akane, while she was planned to have excellent analytical skills, it looks like she also has physical abilities that surpass those of everyone else in the Third Tower, isn't it? (Pyo)

武器は各人が最も気に入ったものを選択しています。また、身体能力も当然秀でた部類の設計です。同期の中ではフィンネルに次いで２番目です（死んでしまった個体も含めて、です）。

Each person chooses the weapon they liked the most. As for Akane, she was planned to excel at physical abilities as well and she comes only second to Finnel among the Reyvateils that were born at the same time as them (including those who perished).

クラスタニアにはエンブレムが存在していますが、ソル・シエールなどには地球でいうところの国旗ってあるんですか？ (refri)

Clusternia has its own emblem, but other regions of the Planet such as Sol Ciel have a national flag or something like it? (refri)

ソルシエールには国旗のような文化がありません。そもそも「国」という概念ではなく、治安維持を天覇と教会が覇権争いも兼ねて行っているような企業国家的なものなので、自治単位は教会と天覇、コミュニティ単位は最大で「街」となります。 ですから、天覇や教会のロゴが国旗のようなものなのです。

Sol Ciel doesn't have the kind of culture that needs a national flag, and this is because they don't know the general concept of a [nation], given that the national organizations that keep the public order: the Church and Tenba, were continuously fighting for supremacy, and the largest communal unit they have are [cities] that govern themselves with the support of either Tenba or the Church. Therefore, either the logos of Tenba or the Church would be their national flags.

１．アプサラニカ広場の「アプサラニカ」ってどういう意味ですか？ ２．EXEC_FLIP_FUSIONSPHERE/.の歌詞や詩の想いの物語はソル・クラスタに伝わる伝承とかではなく、フィンネルが即興で創り出した物語なのですか？ (さくらこ)

1) What's the meaning of [Apsaranika] in the name of the Apsaranika Park? 2) Is the story from the lyrics and the feelings contained in EXEC_FLIP_FUSIONSPHERE/. something passed down in Sol Cluster, or is it a story that Finnel improvised on the spot? (Sakurako)

１ですが、すみません、命名当時はしっかり記憶していたのですが、かなりの年月が経ってしまい、ソースがうろ覚えになってしまっております。確か古代のヨーロッパか中東の都市の「自由市場」の名称から採ったという記憶があります。 ２ですが、基本フィンネルの創造です。ただ詩魔法は個人の妄想ですから、元ネタとなる話は存在する事が多いです。世の創造の殆どが過去の何かを参考にして制作しているわけですから、フィンネルのフュージョンスフィアも、昔聞いた物語が原型であることでしょう。

1) I'm sorry. I remember the time when I gave it that name, but since it has been so long, it has ended becoming a vague memory to the point I can't remember from where I took it. However, I do remember something to the effect of having taken it from a [free city] that existed long ago in Eastern Europe. 2) It was basically made up by Finnel. However, since Song Magic originates from the individual fantasies of the singer, there are several cases in which a story serves as the basis for them. This means that everything made in the world could have been based off from something else that was made in the past, so even Finnel's Fusionsphere should be based off from a story she heard a long time ago.

いつもお疲れ様です。ヒュムノスミュージカル、楽しみにしてます。 レーヴァテイル用の人工衛星についてなのですが、範囲が被っている地域も存在する。とありますが、β純血種の安全性を考えると、完全二重（またはそれ以上）の冗長化が必要なんではないでしょうか？ 質問だけだとあれなのと、私もネットワークの技術者だったので少しばかり考察してみました。 もし十数年後、とある衛星が故障してしまったら、その衛星だけがカバーしていた地域内のβ純血種が眠りこけてしまうかもしれません。（恐らく、他の衛星のフォローで、塔との通信が完全に切れることは無いと思いますが） と思ったのですが、携帯のアンテナではなく、衛星携帯のようなものであるとすれば、惑星の軌道上に多数の衛星が存在し、カバー範囲を機体同士で交換し合いながらシステムを構築していた場合、一機の衛星が故障した場合でも、問題ないのかな、と考えました。 それにしても、さーしゃは何故ここまで天才的なのでしょうか、発想力はもとからとして、第一期からの技術を全て継承し、吸収しないことにはここまでの高い技術力（または応用能力）を得ることは出来ないと思います。にゃにゃ屋には色々雑多に積んであったので、幼い頃から波動科学の本を絵本代わりに育ったからとか？（実質今週の質問はこれですね） むしろ門外不出の様な（数百年以上昔の）技術書がにゃにゃ屋に残っていたら、それはそれで不思議なのですが。 (しあん)

Thank you for all your hard work. I'm greatly looking forward to the newest Hymmnos Musical. Now, I have a question about the artificial satellites used by the Reyvateils and how much range they cover. Taking in account the safety of the Pureblooded β-types, wouldn't it be necessary to completely duplicate them (or make as many copies as necessary)? This was the only question I had, but since I'm a network engineer as well, I wanted inquire about it a little futher. Once some decades have passed and some of the satellites started failing, wouldn't that put all the Pureblooded β-types in the ranges covered by these satellites to sleep? (But perhaps they would be inside the range of other satellites as well, so I don't think this wouldn't completely cut off their connections to their respective Towers.) I also thought that if they were similar to the satellites used by cellphones, which don't have any antennae, there should be several satellites orbiting the Planet, each of them covering an specific range that would also overlap with that of others due to having similar specifications, making them interchangeable with each other, which wouldn't cause any problems even in case any of them broke down. At any rate, no matter how much of a genius Sasha is, I don't really think it would be really possible to understand the technologies inherited from the First Era through inventiveness alone, let alone being able to become such a great engineer (and without mentioning the fact that she even managed to put them to practical use). Did this have to do with the fact that they read her Wave Science books instead of fairytales while she grew up, considering how many things are piled up in the Nya Nya Shop? (these would be all of my questions for this week, actually). The fact that several of these (centuries old-) technological books remained in the Nya Nya Shop instead of being kept as invaluable treasures is quite mysterious, don't you think? (Shian)

塔間ネットワークについてお話しするのであれば、基本的に地上全ての範囲を網羅するのは経済的に困難であり、それ故に各塔を繋ぐ最短距離に関してのみ範囲が二重化するように被せています。第一塔と第二塔の間には衛星が１つ浮いていますが、実際は距離的に第一塔と第二塔は衛星が無くても繋がります。 第一塔と第三塔の間にも衛星を２つ浮かべましたが、これもお互いが被るように設計されています。

If we're talking about the Inter-Tower network, basically there would be several economic problems that wouldn't allow to cover the entire surface with it, therefore the redundancy and coverage is only limited to the shortest route between each of the Towers. While there's only one satellite floating between the First and Second Towers, actually they are close enough to be in range even if there weren't any satellites between them. As for the First and Third Towers, there are two satellites floating between them, as it was planned that they would cover both of their areas mutually.

いつも気になるので質問します。アルトネリコ２のサウンドトラックの『真夜中の内緒話』を聞いていると英語で「A・O・D・O・N・E・L・I・G・O　Ar tonelico」と言っている気がします。これはどういう意味でしょうか？ (miracosuta)

Here's a question that has been troubling me for a long time. Whenever I hear the song [A Secret Meeting at Midnight] from the Ar tonelico 2 Soundtack, I have the feeling that they are saying [A・O・D・O・N・E・L・I・G・O] in English. What does that mean? (miracosuta)

正確には「A・R・T・O・N・E・L・I・C・O」と言っています。そのまま「アルトネリコ」です。

The actual phrase is [A・R・T・O・N・E・L・I・C・O], and as you can guess, it means [Ar tonelico].

先日やっとこさ謳う丘を購入し楽しませて頂いております耳が幸せです。 聴きつつ小雑誌を読ませていただいたのですが、ちょっと気になることがありましたので質問させてください。 烈獅皇記～雷哭の天子～において『王の祈りに応え、紅禰命(リステア)は自らの第一子である雷哭美子を…(以下ネタバレにつき自重)』とありましたが、巻末付近の神々の系譜を参照すると、雷哭美子は蒼痳ノ宮(ソーマ)の子となっているように見えるのですが… 自分の読み落としであれば申し訳ないです、宜しくお願いします。 (くらげ)

I bought Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~ just yesterday, and getting and listening to it was quite a bliss. However, while I was listening to the album and reading the booklet, I found something that troubled me so much that I decided to ask about it. In the story "The Chronicles of Resshikou ~The Emperor of Wailing Thunder~", there was a passage saying [In response to the king's prayer, Koudeinomikoto (Listea) sent his first son, Raikokubishi, to... (not posting the rest to avoid giving spoilers to others)", but upon reading the Genealogy of the Gods chart at the end of the booklet, it seemed that Raikokubishi was actually Soumanomiya's (Soma's) son... If I overlooked something while reading, I'm very sorry, and I'll be looking forward to your answer. (Jellyfish)

申し訳ありません、これも誤植となっております。正確には雷哭美子は紅禰命の第一子です。 先にも誤植の件がありましたが、謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～の冊子に関する誤植は、近日中にまとめて掲載致したいと思います。ご迷惑お掛けしますが、よろしくお願いします。

I'm very sorry, this was a misprint too. Actually Raikokubishi is Koudeinomikoto's first son. Given that so many of these mistakes have come to light, one of these days I'll have to publish a compilation of all the errors that were present in the Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~ booklet. I'm sorry for causing you all problems.

今更な話なのですが、レーヴァテイルが謳うことと詩魔法が発動することについて質問させてください。 この解釈自体が間違っていたらトンチンカンな質問になってしまうのですが、詩魔法発動のプロセスは「レーヴァテイル自身が出している「声」自体はブースター的なものでしかなく、重要なのは、レーヴァテイルとサーバーとの精神世界でのやりとりである」と自分なりに解釈しています。 それを踏まえてなのですが、新訳パスタリエについては、この精神世界でのサーバーとのやりとりも高速化・効率化されているということでしょうか？ 102回トウコウでのテクニカでインフェルが、「cEzE」と「Wee yea ra hymme」の例を出していますが、これは単純に「声」の話だけでなくサーバーとのやりとりでも同様のことが起きている、ということでいいのでしょうか？ また、話しはずれてしまうのですが、レーヴァテイル自身が声は出さず、塔からの「返し」の音声も完全にカットにして無音状態での詩魔法の発動というのはできるのでしょうか？ (咲也)

It might be kinda late for it, but I want to ask a question on how the Reyvateils sing and their Song Magic is executed. I'm case my interpretations are wrong, please forgive me for asking absurd questions: in the execution process of Song Magic, I've interpreted the past explanations "the [voice] emitted by the Reyvateils doesn't merely work as a booster, but it's also necessary for the Soulspace communication that takes place between the Reyvateil and the Server". Based on the above, this makes the New Testament of Pastalie an accelerated and optimized version of the Soulspace communication with the SH Server? In the Technical Service Center of the 102th Toukousphere, Infel explained with examples such as [cEzE] and [Wee yea ra hymme] that these words weren't merely pronounced by the [voice], so it would be correct to consider them as similar due to both establishing the communication with the Server? Also, going a little off the topic, if the Reyvateil herself doesn't emit her voice, this would cut-off the [return] from the Tower, allowing her to execute soundless Song Magic? (Sakinari)

仰るとおりで間違い有りません。以前「cEzE」と「Wee yea ra hymme」について例に出していますが、単語が短いという事はSHW（脳内）とバイナリ野とのデータ転送量も激減しますし、処理は早くなります。 また、無音の詩魔法に関してですが、セキュリティ上不可能な仕様になっています（暗殺し放題になってしまうので）。必ず塔からの「返し」は聞こえるようになっているのです。

Your interpretation is correct. As for the examples of [cEzE] and [Wee yea ra hymme] you gave, the shorter the word, the shorter the data transmission between the SHW (inside the Reyvateil's brain) and the Binary Field will become, speeding up its processing. As for soundless Song Magic, it was made impossible due to the security problems it would have caused (otherwise Reyvateils would have been able of assassinating other people as much as they liked). It was because of this that it was made compulsory for the Tower's [return] to be heard.

いつも全力回答ありがとうございます！<bt> 1）器になるレーヴァテイルがあればサキやフィンネルの中にいる他の人格を移植という形で移すことはできるのでしょうか。またそれを行った場合、何らかの影響を二人は受けるのでしょうか。 2）サーバー内に残留しているレーヴァテイルの意思は大体どの程度もつのでしょうか。また、それはサルベージ可能なのでしょうか。 (マスカルポーネ)

Thank you for always answering the questions with all your effort! 1) Would it be possible to transplant the alternate personae residing in Saki and Finnel if there were other appropriate Reyvateils to serve as their vessels? And if this was possible, what effect would it have in Saki and Finnel? 2) Generally speaking, how long can the residual wills of the Reyvateils remain in the Server? Would it be possible to salvage them? (Mascarpone)

１ですが、人格の移植、というよりは、人格＝惑星の意志の合意の元で他のレーヴァテイルに移る事は出来なくはありません。ただその場合、サキや、少なくともフィンネル並みに「条件」が整っていなければならず（最低限バイナリ野を通じて抗体と接続されている事が必須な為、第三世代や他塔のβでは不可能）、更にその引っ越し先のβが受け入れなければ不可能です。受け入れないのに強引に入り込むと、そのβは精神的に死んでしまいます。 ２ですが、平均１００年と言われていますが、「運」の要素が強いです。というのは、新しいβが生産されて、アドレスが被れば上書きされてしまうからです。ずっと上書きされなければ、数百年は残った状態になります。 また、サルベージはほぼ不可能です。せいぜい出来て、座標決め打ちによるダイブです。というのは、そのSHW（精神）と適合できるのは、共に成長してきた中核三角環のみだからです。

1) As for the personae transplantation, remember that they are Wills of the Planet's Consensus, so it's impossible to transplant them to other Reyvateils. However, in case that was possible, if the receptor βs don't fulfill some of the conditions that make Saki or at least Finnel what they are (the most essential one being having a direct connection with the Antibodies lodged in Tilia's Binary Field, which makes both Third Generations and βs from other Towers unable to be receptors), they won't be able to lodge the personae inside themselves. If a Reyvateil that can't receive the personae was forced to become the receptor for the transplantation, this would completely destroy her mind and turn her into a vegetable. 2) Roughly a hundred years, but [luck] is an strong factor here too. This is because their addresses have a chance of being overwritten whenever a new β is produced. If no overwriting happened for a long time, it would be possible for their wills to remain for several centuries. As for salvaging them, it's almost impossible. The best you could do with them would be locating the coordinates of their addresses to Dive into them. Sadly, this is because their SHWs (minds) are only compatible with the Triangular Nuclear Loop that was used to create and raise them.

こんにちは。いつも楽しく読ませていただいてます！初投稿です。 早速質問なのですが、 1．ヒュムノス語の文字や単語の詳しい発音方法は、明確に定められているのでしょうか？また、それは現実世界のIPA（国際音声記号）での表記も可能なのでしょうか？ 2．アルトネリコ2のマップにある、『ムーンカルバート』はどういった用途の場所だったのでしょうか？ (zzyko)

Hello. I'm always looking forward to read through this column! This is my first submission. Here are some quick questions, 1) There has been a final decision taken about the detailed pronunciation of the Hymmnos words and letters? And would it be possible to write them using the real-world IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)? 2) What was the purpose of the [Moon Culvert] that could be found in the Ar tonelico 2 map? (zzyko)

１ですが、日本語と同じく模範的発音は存在し、それのIPAによる表記は可能です（＝IPAで表現できる全ての発音可能性で収まっています）。ただ、各レーヴァテイルやその時の心情によって、発音に乱れや訛（というよりかは滑らかに謳えるように発音を一部省略したりする）が常時発現します。 ２ですが、第三塔におけるXPシェル射出口として作られました。元々第二塔が、ゲーム中の第三塔の役割を担う予定の時期がありまして、その時に作られた構造物の為です。XPシェルなどの「上物（レールや機械類など）」が建設される以前に、塔自体が完成していないので穴だけが存在している形になっています。

1) While we have an exemplary pronunciation based off from Japanese phonetics, it certainly would be possible to represent them through the IPA (after al, it's possible to represent all sorts of pronunciations throught it). However, due to the emotions of the Reyvateil at each specific instant, the pronunciations might get distorted (such as when we gloss over some pronunciations to make singing smoother) or particular accents may appear. 2) It was built to serve as the exit through which the XP Shell found in the Third Tower would be shot. In the game, there was a point in which the Second Tower was originally going to serve the function the Third Tower had and this structure was built for when that time came. However, before the [complex structures (such as the rails and machinery)] necessary for the XP Shell could be built, the Tower itself couldn't be completed, which it's the reason why the Moon Culver ended remaining as just a large hole.

毎回質問回答お疲れ様です １）クローシェ（＝瑠珈）の誕生日が「チェロ三光ヴィオラ七雨」とされていましたが、メタ・ファルス、ソル・シエール、エル・デュエルでの暦の違いはどんな感じなのでしょう？ ２）同上に近い質問になりますが、一年は何日でしょう？エル・デュエルでは星巡りに十二の神が出てくるので１２月周期だとは思いますが ３）レーレの水卸、はどのような場所だったのでしょうか (つばくらめ)

Thanks for all your hard work in answering these questions everytime. 1) While it was said that Cloche's (Reika's) birthday was in the [Third Light of Cello, Seventh Rain of Viola], what are the differences between the calendars used by Metafalss, Sol Ciel and El Duel? 2) Similarly to the previous question, how many days long is a year in Ar Ciel? I thought it was a period of twelve months since the Gods in Starcircling were twelve, too. 3) What kind of place is Lere's Reservoir? (Swallow)

　

　

アルシエルでは、どのような暦が採用されているのでしょうか？ クローシェ様の誕生日から察するに、チェロ月とヴィオラ月の相を基準にしているようですが……。 また、地球の太陽暦と太陰暦のように、文化圏毎に暦が異なるのでしょうか？ (サブレ)

What kind of calendar is used in Ar Ciel? I guessed that a calendar based off from both the Cello and Viola moons was the norm from the way Lady Cloche's birthday was said, but... And similarly to how we have a lunar and solar calendar in Earth, do the different cultures in Ar Ciel have their own calendar systems? (Shortbread)

まず、つばくらめさんの１と、サブレさんの回答です。 歴は文化圏によってやや違いますが、基本は旧世代（グラスノインフェリア前の第一紀）に使われていた歴のマイナーチェンジ版（時代によって変化していったもの）です。 ただ、メタファルスだけは独自の歴を持っており、それが誕生日を現す時に使われたりしています。「チェロ三光ヴィオラ七雨」というのは、それぞれの月の満ち欠けを使った歴です。光とは「満ちに向かう刻」であり、雨は「欠けに向かう刻」です。数字はそれぞれの月の欠け具合を現したものです。 それ以外の地域では、地球と似たような太陽暦を使っています。 ２ですが、基本３６０日周期であり、１２神が各月の名称になっているのがソルシエール、ソルクラスタの主流です。誤差が出たときの埋め日の方法はソル・シエールとソル・クラスタで若干違う程度で、基本、日にちの定義などは殆ど差がありません。 ３ですが、ただ単に凹凸の激しいブロックによる構造をしているだけで、特に何かに使われていたわけではありません。そこに雨水が良く溜まった為、自然の貯水池として、第二紀以降の人々に「レーレの水卸」という名前がつけられただけです。

First, I'll answer Shortbread's and Swallow's first question: 1) The current cultures have some minor differences, but all of them use basically the same calendar that the previous generations (the First Era, prior to the Grathnode Inferia) used, although with some alterations (all of them being the product of the passing of time). However, Metafalss indeed has an special calendar system, which is used only for representing birthdays. [Third Rain of Cello, Seventh Rain of Viola] is an example of that calendar, which uses the degree of waxing and waning of both moons. Light refers to [the time in which the moon is waxing], while Rain refers to the [time in which the moon is waning]. The numerals serve to depict their grade of waning and waxing. Aside of this, all of the regions in Ar Ciel use a solar calendar similar to the one we have on Earth. 2) While a year in Ar Ciel is 360 days long, using the names of the twelve Gods to refer to the months is actually a popular custom only in Sol Ciel and Sol Cluster. Since the previous methods they used to count the days had various measurement errors of variable extent, it was decided that both regions would share a mostly similar calendar system in order to have the same number of days for their years. 3) It just a region constructed by extremely rough blocks, which can't be given any particular uses. However, since a lot of rain water accumulated in this place, it became a natural reservoir, which made the people from the Second Era onward call it the [Lere Reservoir]. However, the people merely gave that name to the place due to the reasons stated above.

1)アルトネリコ2でラキが降ってきた時に、 「ソル・マルタへの物理的介入は、契約第9032条5項により禁止されています。」と言っていますが、何をそんなに契約することがあったんでしょうか？ 物理的介入なんて最初のほうにあってもいいようなことが、9032条まで出てこないのも気になります。 2)アルトネリコ1～3の各舞台での学校制度はどうなっているのでしょうか？コスモスフィアやバイナリ野では頻繁に見られますが、現実(?)では就学している人は見ない気がします。 3)全文検索で「まずは左側のリストから読みたい号を選択して下さい。」と言われてしまいました！助けてください!! (佐野)

1) When Raki descended in Ar tonelico 2, she said that [Physical intervention of Sol Marta is forbidden by article #9032, 5th clause of the Pact], but what does that mean? It drew my attention since I thought that things like physical intervention should be among the first articles, not under a high number such as 9032. 2) What kind of school systems do the settings of the three games have? We're always seeing them both in the Cosmospheres and Binary Fields, but I think we never saw anyone going to school in the real (?) world. 3) I was told [Please, first choose the issue you wish to read at the right column] when using the full-text search! Please, help me!! (Sukenu)

１ですが、１０００番台毎にそれぞれ項目が分かれており、９０００条も有るわけではありません。０番台が「総則」、１０００番台が「契約事項」、２０００番台が「運営事項」などとなっており、９０００番台は「治安維持事項」となっています。 ２ですが、単純に一般市民にスポットが当たる事が無い為割愛しているだけです。例えばAT3ではサキが保育園で働いていましたが、当然その上には初等学校などが存在します。また、第一塔では天覇の養成訓練校や、教会の学校などがあり、自由意志で（月謝はかかりますが）通う事が出来ます。 第二塔では、パスタリアには官僚教育向け学校と騎士団養成所があり、リムにもとりわけ道徳教育中心の寺子屋的なものは存在します。 ３ですが、申し訳ございません、誤植ですので修正させていただきました。

1) The Pact's articles are divided in sections, each of them starting in a number multipliable by 1000, so actually, there aren't 9000 articles. The sections are as follows: the articles starting in 0 are [General Rules], the ones starting in 1000 are [Pact Rules], the ones starting in 2000 are [Administration Rules]. As for the ones starting in 9000, these are [Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order]. 2) Simply put, we had to leave them out because we couldn't include normal townspeople among the important characters for the story. For example, in AT3 Saki worked at a preschool, so it's natural that you could visit one during the game because of that. As for the First Tower, there both academies sponsored by Tenba, and schools run by the Church, where anyone can enlist to begin learning the subjects they teach (while paying a monthly tuition fee, of course). As for the Second Tower, there are both schools for bureaucrats and academies for the knights in Pastalia, in contraposition to the Rim, where they don't have an actual school system and instead their schooling is centered around moral lessons imparted by particulars, similarly to the temple elementary schools that were so common in Japan during the Edo Period. 3) I'm very sorry, that was a misprint and it has been corrected now.

気になった事を質問いたします。 １．大地の心臓は、それ自体を精製は然るべき施設と導力を用意できればそれほど難しくは無く、大陸を創る場合は内包する意思を用意するのがネックなのですか？ ２．ミュールと同時期に製造された固体が覚醒に至らなかったのは何故ですか？ ３．ダイブ中のバイナリ野やコスモスフィアを映像に出力し、録画したりは出来ないのですか？出来てもコスモスフィアはモラルやプライバシーの面から大きく規制が設けられるでしょうが。 (ババンゴ売り)

Here are a few questions that have been bothering me: 1) Even if it was possible to easily get the appropriate equipment and Symphonic Power for creating a Heart of the Land, wouldn't trying to make the consciousness that the land would need upon being created become a large showstopper? 2) About the Reyvateils that were made at the same time as Mir, there was any reason behind them never awakening? 3) Would it be impossible to output the images seen in either the Binary Field or Cosmospheres during a Dive, and record them? Although if it was possible, it would be necessary to establish a large-scale organization in order to regulate the morality and privacy of the Cosmospheres' owners, right? (Babango Seller)

１ですが、主に仰るとおりです。とはいえ施設を作るのも相当な技術であり、現在の地球で言えば加速器クラスの施設でもあります。内包する意志を調達すのはかなりのネックです。人間を作るなら誰かの精神世界をコピーすれば良かったわけですが、惑星の意志のコピーをとる事などは不可能な事だった為です。 ２ですが、様々な理由で培養槽内で死亡したり、正常に機能しないと判定されて放置したりした為です。 ３ですが、現時点では不可能です。それは夢の映像化と同等の技術です。ダイブマシンは確かに精神世界＝夢を科学的に取り扱っていますが、実際の所、その殆どはダイバーとレーヴァテイルの間の直接的な干渉に委ねられており、ダイブ屋が監視できるのは周波数帯域ごとのエネルギー変化のみです。また「心の護」のように機械的にシミュレート出来ている部分もありますが、それらはごく一部であり、心全体を映像化するにはダイバーとレーヴァテイルとの間でやりとりする全ての信号を解析し、データ化しなければなりません。

1) It's exactly as you say. The equivalent level of technology necessary for building these facilities is the same that would be needed for building a particle accelerator-class facility in our current Earth. Still, the project would be considerably hindered upon trying to create the consciousness for the land. This is because if you were to make a human, it would suffice with just copying the Soulspace off someone, but it was impossible to copy the Wills of the Planet. 2) For several reasons, they perished inside their nurturing tanks and it was decided they would be left like this because they wouldn't function normally. 3) At the present, it's impossible. That would require the same level of technology needed for projecting dreams into an screen. Of course, Dive Machines can handle the Soulspace and dreams in a scientific manner, but practically speaking, what happens there is that they leave the Reyvateil and the Diver in an space where direct H-Waves interferences can happen between both while the Dive Shop operator can only observe energy changes between wave frequency zones and the like. And while the Machines also have a part capable of making mechanical simulations similar to the [Mind Guardians], these are only an extremely small part of their functions, so to project an entire mind it would require a complete analysis of the signals sent and received by both the Reyvateil and the Diver during the Dive to then convert them into data.

①I.P.D.を再度A.T.D.転写（サーバーを第1塔に移し変える）ことは可能ですか？また、もし可能だとしたらA.T.D,になると新約パスタリエは謳えなくなるのでしょうか？ ②A.T.D.をI.P.D.転写完了するまでには数年かかるとのことですが、インフェルピラの機能（新約パスタリエの詩魔法など）を使用できるようになるのはいつごろからですか？ ③上記に関連して、第1塔や第3塔のレーヴァテイルのサーバーを他方に移し変えたりすることは可能ですが？また、可能だったとしたら第1塔のβ（彌紗など）がFLIP系のヒュムノス・エクストラクトを使用できるようになったりしますか？ どこまでがレーヴァテイルの機能で、どこまでが塔の機能かがよくわからないので・・・ (ストガー)

1) Would it be possible to retranscribe an IPD into an ATD (change her server to the First Tower)? And if this was possible, would she become unable to sing in New Testament of Pastalie upon becoming an ATD? 2) While it might take several years for an IPD to get transcribed into an ATD, how long would she be able to continue using Infel Phira's functions (such as Song Magic in New Testament of Pastalie)? 3) On a related question to the above, would it be possible to change the Reyvateils between the Servers of the First and Third Towers? And if it was possible, would βs from the First Tower (such as Misha) become capable of using FLIP-type Hymmnos Extracts? I really don't understand which are functions of the Reyvateils and which are from the Towers... (Stoger)

１ですが、理論的には可能です（現時点でその為の機材は存在しません）。その場合、A.T.D.になった瞬間、新約パスタリエは謳えなくなります。極度に重傷の「ど忘れ」が未来永劫発生するような感じになり、思い出そうとするとモヤモヤしていらつくかもしれません。 ２ですが、転写がほぼ完了した際に使えるようになりますが、それは徐々に変遷していきます。変遷する数ヶ月の間は非常に精神的に不安定になり、記憶もあやふやになる事が多いです。これはその期間、アルトネリコとインフェルピラの双方に接続が行ったり来たりする為に発生します。余談ですが、そもそもインフェルピラが通常のヒュムノスをサポートしている理由はここにもあり、移行時の不安定さを極力減らす為の役割も有るのです。前述の通り、I.P.D.がA.T.D.（アルトネリコ依存体）になる場合、覚えていた詩魔法を全部忘れてしまうわけですが、それは相当なストレスとなりますので、それを無くす為に従来のヒュムノス語もサポートしているのです。 ３ですが、理論的には可能です。ただ、ゲームの時期にそれを行うだけの技術力は持ち合わせていません。もし移行できた場合、フリップ系も使用できるようになります。 詩魔法の制御は塔側の機能であり、想いを紡ぐのはレーヴァテイルの機能です。プログラム的に言えば（わからない方には申し訳ありません）、C言語を記述するのがレーヴァテイルの役割であり、そのソースをコンパイルするコンパイラが塔です。Windows用、Mac用、Linux用などは、同じC言語で記述したコードでも、基本的な部分だけであればどのマシンのコンパイラでもコンパイル出来ます。そんな関係になっています

1) Theoretically it's possible (although there isn't technology capable of doing so at the moment). Once that happens, she won't be capable of singing in New Testament of Pastalie upon becoming an ATD. And in the worst cases, she could end having lapses in memory similar to the [amnesia] caused by serious injuries, and while she could remember some things, these memories would at best be hazy, like images from a dream. 2) Until the transcription is almost complete, she would be able to continue using them, although this is because the changes are gradual. During the months in which these changes take place, she will have a several emotional instability and her memories will mostly become hazy, which happens because at this time Infel Phira and Ar tonelico are performing a two-way connection. There would be some digressions, but since Infel Phira also supports Standard Hymmnos, it would also play a role in helping greatly to reduce the instability caused by the migration of the Soulspace from a server to other. As mentioned above, once an IPD has become an ATD (Ar tonelico Dependant), she will forget all the Song Magic she has learned, which will cause her a lot of stress, but because of losing them she will also gain full support for the Standard Hymmnos dialects. 3) Once again, it's theoretically possible. However, no one happens to have the necessary technology for it in the period in which the games take place. Of course, if it was possible to perform said migration, she would become capable of using FLIP-type Songs. The Towers have the functions that control Song Magic, while Reyvateils have the function of crafting their feelings into Songs. If we put this into programming terms (I'm very sorry to those who don't understand this explanation), Reyvateils have the role of a descriptor in C Language, while the compiler that compiles the source code into programs are the Towers. While C Language descriptors have the same source code, the machine compilers can compile programs for Windows, Mac, Linux and others from just using that as the basis. That is more or less the relationship between Reyvateils and the Towers.

前回は回答ありがとうございました。早速なのですが、疑問に思った点を質問させてください。 前回の回答では、「パスタリエはバイナスフィアコーラスに対応していない」とのことでしたが、第八回編纂室によれば「かなり泣けるものの可能」とあります。 記述することはできても意味をなさない、ということで「対応していない」なのか、それともわざわざ誰もそんなことをやろうとしないのか、その他なのか、教えて頂きたいです。 似たような質問を繰り返して申し訳ありませんが、宜しくお願いします。 (Aska)

Thank for you previous answers. It might be getting ahead of myself, but here's a question on something that has been bothering me: On the previous issue, you said that [Pastalie doesn't support the Binasphere Chorus], but in issue 8, you said that [It's possible, although it would be hard enough to make anyone cry]. I can't make heads or tails from these explanations, so please, tell us why [it doesn't support it] or everyone else will try something impossible, among other things. I'm very sorry for repeating a similar question, and I hope we can continue interacting as always. (Aska)

申し訳ありません、前回の回答が間違いです。新約パスタリエでもバイナスフィアコーラス詠唱による効果は出ます。 ただ、新約パスタリエはそれ自体がかなり高速な為、バイナスフィアコーラスの利点があまりありません（もちろん複雑な処理を行う為に使う事はあるかもしれません）。現時点で、新約パスタリエによるヒュムノスは存在しません。

I'm very sorry, the answer from the previous issue was wrong. Singing in Binasphere Chorus has effects, even in the New Testament of Pastalie. However, since the New Testament of Pastalie's greatest feature is its high singing speed, this means that using the Binasphere Chorus in it doesn't give any advantages (of course, it might be possible to use it to execute a complex process). At the present time, there aren't any Hymmnos in New Testament of Pastalie that make use of it.

いつもお疲れ様です。 さて質問ですが、Afezeria HARVESTASYAのお話はソル・クラスタでは戦争をけしかけるレベルということですが、そのお話の主人公であるハーヴェスターシャの名前がソル・クラスタの塔の名前として使われたことに何か理由はあるのでしょうか? それとも、ハーヴェスターシャとサラパトゥールのお話はクラスタ地方には伝わっていなかったのでしょうか？ (三毛トラ)

Thank you for all your hard work. Well then, here's the question for this time: if the Afezeria HARVESTASYA story was considered offensive enough by Sol Cluster to cause a war, why the name of its main character, Harvestasha, was used as the name of the Tower located in Sol Cluster? Or was the story involving Harvestasha and Salapator never told in Sol Cluster? (Tortoise-Shell Tiger)

第三塔がハーヴェスターシャという名前になっているのは、第三塔を建設したのは第一塔の人だったからです。この第三塔の責任者である「クロガネ」は、元エル・エレミアの官僚的な存在であり、そこからAHPP（アルシエル・ヒーリングプラネット計画）に移籍し、第三塔に左遷されます。また、第三塔を制御するコンピューターである「ハーヴェスターシャ」は、第一塔で生まれて、建設予定地（ソル・クラスタ）まで運ばれたものです。

The reason why the Third Tower has Harvestasha's name comes from the fact that its constructors were people from the First Tower. The person in charge of its construction, [Kurogane], was originally a bureaucrat from El Elemia, and from there he was transferred to the leadership of the AHPP (Ar Ciel: Heal the Planet Project) and degraded to builder of the Third Tower. Also, the main computer of the Third Tower, [Harvestasha], who also gave it its name, was built in the First Tower and then shipped off to the place in which the Tower was planned to be built (Sol Cluster).

三謳神のエオリア・フレリア・ティリアは実在する惑星の意志ですか？ それとも人間の想像上の神様なんでしょうか。 (みそかつ)

The Goddesses of the Trio of Elemia: Eolia, Frelia and Tilia are actual Wills of the Planet? Or are they imaginary Goddesses created by the humans? (Misokatsu)

エオリア、フレリア、ティリアは惑星の意志ではなく「原初の半神」です。楽曲「謳う丘～Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor～」でも、まずエオリア、フレリア、ティリアの３人を地上に生み、その後他の半神（ハーヴェスターシャなど）を紡いだ、と言っています。 クラスタ表記では「エオリア＝飛翔天」「フレリア＝碧珠天（へきじゅてん）」「ティリア＝海?天（かいびょうてん）」です。

Eolia, Frelia and Tilia aren't Wills of the Planet, but are actually the [First Demigoddesses]. In the song [Singing Hill ~Ar=Ciel Ar=Dor~] it says that Eolia, Frelia and Tilia initially were born into the surface and later on the crafted the existence of the following Demigods (such as Harvestasha and the others). Their names written in Cluster form are as follows: [Eolia = 飛翔天 (Hishouten)], [Frelia = 飛翔天 (Hekijouten), and [Tilia = 海?天 (Kaibyouten)].

AT3設定資料集あたりからたびたび出てくるようになった半神ですが、この人たちは実際にはどのような存在だったのでしょうか？ アルシエルの神話には惑星人格（＝神）と同じくらい重要で、いろいろな役回りを与えられていますが、神話の多くは誇張や創作が多分に加わっていると理解しています。 その上でお聞きしますが、半神とは実在したのでしょうか？また、実在したのであればどのような存在だったのでしょうか？ (Letith)

From the AT3 Setting Encyclopedia onward we have gotten several mentions of the Demigods, but did they actually exist, and in case they did, what kind of existences were they? They seem to have the same level of importance in Ar Ciel's myths as the Wills of the Planet (the Gods) themselves, and thus were given all sorts of roles, but from your explanations, they seem to be exaggerations and romantic details that were added afterwards to the myths themselves. Because of the above, I wanted to ask if the Demigods did actually exist. Also, if they did actually exist, what kind of existences were they?

半神自体は実在しています。半神とは、普通の人間と惑星の意志を仲介する為に生まれた生命です。ですから、半神には人々を有る一定の方向へと導くという使命を持って降り立ちます。それは生まれたときから理解している事もあれば、ある日突然思い出す事もあります。 通常の人間は、半神を父と母（もしくは片方）に持つ者が人間の第一世代であり、その後脈々と続いていきます。すなわち半神は、人間の発祥の為の生命でもあります。

The Demigods themselves did really exist. They were basically lives that were born to serve as intermediaries between the normal humans and the Wills of the Planet, therefore, it was said that they descended with the mission of leading the people under a fixed path. And as for the way in which the Demigods themselves learned about this, it was because they would suddenly remember this mission on a certain day. As for the normal humans, the first generation of them had a Demigod father and mother (or otherwise, one of them) and then the humans multiplied from there onward. In other words, the Demigods also had the role of living to serve as the origin of the humans.

前回は長文でのご回答ありがとうございました。 「トークマター不足云々」とゆーのは「親密度不足」の意味のつもりだったんですけど、まあこれはそう書かなかった私が悪いですね＾＾； それはともかくとして、今回はアルシエルの食文化について質問です。 ①各地方の主な食料はなんでしょう？　食文化の特徴なんかも設定があれば。ホルスの翼や大牙は普通に農業が出来るレベルっぽいですから、水不足でクルルクがメインのメタファルスほど強烈な特色は無いかも知れませんけど…… ②にょ？肝なんてアイテムがあったり、トウコウスフィアで、窮地に陥ったトゥルーリーワース家でモンスターの肉を使ったバーベキューが行われた話が出たりしてますけど、確かに動物に似たモンスターは食べられそうなの多いですよね。そういうモンスターって、普通の肉と同じような感覚で食べられているんでしょうか？　狩るのが大変な分貴重品だったり？　それともゲテモノ扱いですか？ ③プラティナの食糧事情が気になります。やっぱり下界から食料を買い付けるルートでも確保しているんでしょうか。それとも、何か塔のテクノロジーで食べ物を生産するなり？ (にょぉぉぉぉっ！)

Thank you for answering my rather long question from the previous issue. I intended to mean by [not having seen enough Talk Topics] that [there wasn't enough intimacy], so I'm sorry for not having written that. ^^; Anyway, here are my questions for today, which are about Ar Ciel's cuisine. 1) Which is the main food for each region? Of course, if you have already given them one. This is because the Wings of Horus and the Great Fang both seem to be normal agricultural areas, but since Metafalss was forced to have mainly Kururuku due to the scarcity of water, they might no have a main food, though... 2) Since there are several items such as the Nyo? Guts, and there was a story in the Toukousphere about the Trulywaath family having to go through the dilemma of making BBQ from a monster's meat due to the lack of food, there should be several monsters that resembles normal animals enough to be edible, right? If there are any monsters like that, their meat would taste and feel similar to that of normal animals? And hunting them would also be a highly-paid profession? Or are they treated as mere beasts? 3) I was wondering about Platina's food situation. Did they actually keep a commercial route open with the Lower World in order to buy food? Or they ended producing food in some way with the Tower's technology? (Nyooooo!)

１ですが、ソル・シエールは普通に米も麦も採れます。殆どがホルスの翼によるものです。塔でしか採れないものもありますが、どちらにせよ食べ物は豊富です。メタファルスは言わずとしれたクルルクが主食です。ソルクラスタの場合は主に大牙の話となりますが、大牙では地下栽培技術などの発展により根菜の栽培が発達し、イモ類が主食となっている場所が多いです。蒼谷の郷では麦を収穫出来ますが、非常に高値で取引されます。 ２ですが、モンスターと動物の境は曖昧で、狼系などは比較的食材になりやすいです。逆にポムなどは誰も食べたがりません。にょ？や植物系などはキワモノ、珍味です。何にしても、人間は何でも食べる事は確かです。（雲海魚を食べるくらいですから） ３ですが、プラティナには栽培技術は存在します。基本、下の世界と断絶している事もあり、ネモなどから食料を輸入する事はありません（ゲーム終了までの話ですが）。プラティナでは水耕栽培によるファームが主体となっていますが、生産性はさほど良くはありません。寧ろメタ・ファルスの地下ファームの方が生産効率が高いです。そもそもプラティナは、それ程人口が過密ではない事もあり、それによる自給自足が主体になっています。

1) The main crops in Sol Ciel are rice and wheat. Of course, this is mostly applied to the Wings of Horus, but the only place from which anything can't be harvested is the Tower itself, so the food is abundant anyway. As for Metafalss, it goes without saying that Kururuku is their main food. And in Sol Cluster's case, the Great Fang is the main agricultural region in it, but said region has developed large-scale underground cultivation techniques and other similar arts, coming up with all sorts of ways to cultivate root crops, so the vegetables and fruits from said kind of crops are the main staples of the food in this area. And while it's possible to cultivate and harvest wheat in the Blue Canyon Hamlet, it would have to be bought and sold at extremely high prices. 2) The line between monsters and animals is quite vague, so those like wolves are comparitively easier to eat than others. On the other hand, creatures like Poms wouldn't be eaten be anyone. Other creatures like the Nyo?s and plant-type monsters are mostly seasonal food, making them quite a delicacy. However, it's quite obvious from this that humans would be able to eat anything they came across (even to the point of trying to eat the Cloud Sea Fishes). 3) Platina makes use of special cultivation techniques. Since the contact with the Lower World was fundamentally cut-off for about 400 years, it would be impossible for them to import food from places such as Nemo (at least before the end of the game). Platina mainly makes use of hydroponics farms for its food, but its productivity isn't actually very good, while on the contrary, the underground farms used in Metafalss have a quite high productivity. However, Platina isn't an overcrowded city, which allows said ways of producing food enough to make it into a self-sufficient settlement.
