Lyrics

ワタシは『《第一の書庫》から其の地平線に《意識と呼ばれるモノ》を接続した･･･

此の書庫には既にある種の改竄が認められた。【彼】と【彼女】は恋人と呼ばれる関係に在った。　やがて、《歴史》敵な戦争によって引き裂かれた二人。男は死んだと勘違いした恋人への想い故に、時の権力者の怒りを買い処刑され、女は生きていると妄信し男を捜し廻った結果、無理が祟り失明してしまう･･････。
此の悲劇の結末を左←→右すると予想される《因子》。　ワタシは【彼】のad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4aと【彼女】のad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4aを【否定】してみた･･･
さて。箱の中の猫は、生きているのか？　死んでいるのか？　其れでは、檻の中を覗いてみよう——

(What does the poem really mean to her?
The unknown lady who remain unrecognized in the "Chronicle".
She is the "Nein".)

通り過ぎた遥かな灯が　落とした影に花は移ろい
乾いた風が　撫でた女の肌に　深い皺を刻む

嗚呼･･･　朱い空を征く　白い旅鳥よ
お前は【辿りつくべき場所】を　知っているのかい？

嗚呼･･･　連れて行っておくれ　置いていかないで
声に出来ない声

遠ざかる《風景》に　手を伸ばした【第九の現実】に
確かなものなど何ひとつ無く

逃げ込んだ　儚い《幻想》舞い散る花びらの中
笑う貴方　と　私　と　二人の･･････

「追憶に揺れる可憐なる其の《朽花》に、
咲き誇る薔薇は永遠に届かない･･････」

「然れど･･･　然れど･･･　唯･･･　一輪･･･
この世の･･･　常ならざる･･･　薔薇が在る！」

「冬枯れの世界を　常春が如くに、
照らし賜う美は誰ぞ？」

\其れぞ、我らが女王陛下!!!/

(The man put his heart into self-defense and had a long life, but his artistic soul died.
What would people from coming ages evaluate? What was the fame he really wanted to defend?)

「わぁー、粉挽き屋の旦那に聞いたんスけど、
うちの親方がモテなさ過ぎて、
とち狂って遂に女かどわかして来たってマジっスか？
･･････って、ヤッベ。マジだッ⁉」
(馬鹿野郎!)

「おぉ、気が付いたかい？　アンタ—」

(この水車小屋の近くの森で
倒れていたところをよ、ここに運び込んだのさ)

「でスよねぇ～！」

「やぶ医者の奴の話では･･･
過労と栄養不足だろうってさ･･･
このままじゃ･･･　危なかった･･･　だろうってさ･･･　だが･･･」

「《命の恩人》は笑って何か取り出した」
「俺は笑ってアレを取り出した」
「あんた、本当にツイてたな。さぁ、遠慮はいらねぇ。どんどん食えよ。
パンなら売るほどあるんだ！」　「って！」

「まぁ、パン屋っスからねぇ！」
「いい食べっぷりだなぁ、姉さん！」
「Très　bon!」

――そんな経緯で･･･　一命を取り留めた私だったが･･･
ある心境の変化に戸惑い･･･　愕然とした後･･･
不思議と前向きに･･･　生まれ変わったような気持ちで･･･
暫し･･･　パン屋さんのお仕事を･･･　手伝うことにしたのであった･･････

パン屋の朝は本気でヤバいぜッ！
鶏　<　太陽　<　早起きで生地を
捏ねる　→　捏ねる　→　捏ねる　→　寝るZzz...

ウチのパンは生地がウマいぜッ！
葱の種類　→　粉の挽方　→　水に至るまで
拘る　→　拘る　→　拘る　→　割る

風土の関係で　我が国の小麦は
他国の様には　ふっくら膨らまないけど
外はパッリパリ　中はモッチモチ
工夫次第じゃ　まだまだ美味くなる!?

ウチのパンで皆の腹をパンパンにしてやるぜッ‼

焼き上げ時の支持はムズいぜッ！
長くても×　短くても×　石窯と睨めっこ
様子見　→　様子見　→　様子見　→　炭⁂

口は悪いが　腕は悪くない
顔も悪いが　それは　「放っとけよ！」
場所は帝都パリ　美味さは論の勿

([親方/俺]の出べその看板が目印)

ウチのパンでお前の腹も　パンパンにしてやるぜッ‼

逢う方なき影　追う日々の　光を見失い
傷をおう程に　老う事に　疲れたのかもしれなかった･･････

倒れる以前の･･･　私ならきっと･･･
這ってでも旅を･･･　続けたのでしょうね･･･
《挫けそうな心を励ましてくれる存在》でも　あれば違ったの？
薄情な女ね　けれど･･････

人並みの《幸福》を　願ってはいけませんか？
《苦難》を乗り越え　咲くのが《花の命》だもの
もし此れは借り物の《物語》だとしても
《傍で愛してくれる人の笑顔》を　浴びて散りたい･･････

From <The First Archive>, I have established a connection between <what could be called consciousness> and the first horizon...

This archive has already admitted certain changes. [He] and [she] were in a romantic relationship. They would eventually be torn apart by a <historical> battle. Due to his feelings for his lover, whom he believed to be dead, he brought the wrath of the ruler at the time upon himself and was promptly executed. The woman did not doubt that the man was alive and continued her search for him; the journey eventually taking a toll on her and robbing her of her sight...
The <factors> that were predicted to change the outcome of this tragedy - I attempted a [denial] of [his] ad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4a and [her] ad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4a.
Well then. Is the cat within the box alive, or is it dead? Let us take a peek inside the cage...

What does a poem really mean to her?
The unknown lady unrecognized in the chronicle.

She is the Nein.

Poem of the Nameless Woman

The distant lights passing by cast shadows upon fading flowers
Engraving countless wrinkles upon the woman’s skin, gently caressed by the dry winds

Oh...the white bird in flight among the crimson skies
Do you know [the destination you must strive for]?

Oh...please take me along; don’t leave me behind
These voiceless words I swallow

There is nothing I can be sure of
In the fading <scenes>[light], or the Ninth Reality[darkness] that I reach out to

I took refuge in a transient <illusion>[dream]; surrounded by scattering petals
You were smiling with me, and our...

(“Come forth, Ballad the poet. You were granted an audience so you can compose a poem in celebration of the tenth anniversary since Her Majesty’s coronation.”)

A <withered flower> wavering in reminiscence
Is one that can never be matched by a rose in full bloom...

(“What imprudence!”)

However...there is but one...
(“But wait...it goes on!”)
One rose that is not of this world!
(“I see..so that’s what you mean!”)


Whose beauty shines upon this winter of decay,
Illuminating the world in eternal spring?
(“The world!” “Eternal spring!”)

\None other than our majesty, the queen!/

The man put his heart into self-defense and had a long life, but his artistic soul died.
What would people from coming ages evaluate? What was the thing he really wanted to defend?

“Woah, so I heard this from the guy at the flour mill,
But apparently our boss just has no luck with the ladies at all.

And that drove him nuts until he snapped and kidnapped some girl, is that true?”
“...crap, it IS true!?”

“Oh, you’re awake!”
I found you passed out in the forest near the water mill, so I carried you all the way here.

“Who would’ve thought~!”

“According to that quack doctor, it’s a combination of exhaustion and malnutrition...
And your life would’ve been at risk if left be, but...”

<My savior>[He] laughed and took something out /I laughed and took that out

“Guess what, you’re in luck! Come now, no need to be polite! Just eat up! We’ve got enough bread to sell!” he said

“I mean, it is a bakery!”
“Haha! You sure look like you’re enjoying it, girl!”
“Trés bon!”

-And that’s how I was given a new lease on life...
Though I initially experienced confusion and surprise at my change of heart...
I felt optimistic for some reason...almost as if I was born anew..
I decided to help out at the bakery for a while....

Morning at a bakery is nothing to scoff at!
I need to get up earlier than the roosters; earlier than the sun
To knead dough -> to knead dough -> to knead dough -> to sleep...zzz
(”Luna...”)

Our bread is made from quality dough!

The types of grain we use -> the way we mix the flour -> and even the water
Our attention to detail is what makes it great -> what makes it great -> what makes it great -> ...or break!
(”Kyah!” “Newcomer!”)

Because of the climate, the flour made in our country
Doesn’t puff up as much as it does in other countries
But it has a crispy surface and soft insides
More than enough to become delicious with the right preparations!

We’ll fill everyone’s stomachs with our finest bread!

It’s hard to tell when the bread’s been properly baked!
You can’t wait too much, or too little; a staring match with the oven!

Keep looking -> keep looking -> keep looking -> ...and it’s charred!

He’s got a bad mouth, but his skills speak for him
He looks kinda scary too, but... “Just leave me be!”
Located in the capital Paris, deliciousness is all but guaranteed!
Watch out for a sign with our boss’s “outie” belly button!

We’ll fill your stomach with our finest bread as well!

There were days when I chased after a shadow I could never meet, but I soon lost sight of them
Perhaps I am simply weary of growing older in my wounds...

If I hadn’t collapsed...
I would’ve continued my journey, even if I had to crawl on all fours...
Would it have been different if I had <something to encourage me when I lose heart>[a song to hum]?
What a cold-hearted woman I am, but...

Is it so wrong to wish for day to day <happiness>?
<Flowers>[Women] are meant to blossom after weathering <hardship>[the winter]
And even if this <story>[life] is not my own
I want to scatter in midst of the <smiles of the ones that love me, right by my side>[first rays of spring]...

No one who lives in the coming ages will know the name of the lady.

(“Bread! How about some bread! Madam, it’s just like your skin, crispy on the outs- I mean, very soft and tender!”
“Oh my~ I suppose I’ll have one, then.”
“Thank you for your patronage!”

“Hungry? Wanna fill up your stomach?”
“Geez, it’s too soon for bread.”
“Really?”
“Oh you.”)

(”All’s well ends well.”)
