Shelter from the Rain 01　「Levi & Moblit Berner」　(english translation)

進撃の巨人 Short Stories 諫山創 (Isayama Hajime) 雨宿りの情景 Vol. 1　「リヴァイ＆モブリット・バーナー」 A Scene of Taking Shelter from the Rain Vol.1　「Levi & Moblit Berner」

Pouring down from the dull gray sky, heavy raindrops splattered against the cobble pavement of the street.

"Waaahhh… what should I do…"

Carrying many paper bags in his arms, the man rushed to take shelter under the eaves of a shop. A previous customer calls out to him in an ill-tempered tone.

"……It's a passing rain."

"Levi-hēchō!"

ー he calls, nearly dropping his armful of baggage trying to salute.

"Leave it. You… you're Hanji's adjutant huh"

"Yes, Sir! Fourth Squad Vice Buntaichō, Moblit Berner."

"Doing that person's errands?"

"Yes, shopping for books, chemicals, as well as Buntaichō's daily necessities. As for you, Hēchō…?"

"Erwin's summons. Some conversation that can't be had at the barracks, he says"

"……How about using a carriage?

"Mud splashes when you hail one."

"Right."

The Levi of peaceful times is fastidious to the extremes, Moblit recalls.

●

He's the exact opposite of Hanji-san, but… both of them mutually trust and rely on each other.

Born by a years-long relationship ー a special bond. That is something absent between him and his superior.

Perhaps feeling complex emotions resembling his envy, Levi, looking up at the rain clouds outside, spoke as if in monologue…

"It's tough, right? Being that person's adjutant."

"Eh ー you mean?"

"Whenever they become engrossed, even their own life gets neglected."

"……Protecting them in such times… it is my job, I think… so…"

"Right. It is a job only you may do."

"Eh…?"

Without even looking up at Moblit who couldn't comprehend what his words meant, Levi said…

"However long-term friends of yore we may be, we aren't always tightly sticking together. The one who is by Hanji's side all the time is you, Moblit."

Droplet by droplet, the rain has lost its vigor, the clouds drifting away from the sky.

"Do it with confidence. You might get fed up from time to time, though"

I see… "I'm counting on you about Hanji from here on," that is what he is saying.

●

The raindrops have disappeared before they knew it, the sunlight pouring in from between the clouds has shone on the soffit where the two were.

"It stopped. Give it to me."

"Ah, Hēchō, those are heavy!?"

Snatching one of the paper bags Moblit was carrying, Levi heads out of the eaves, urging Moblit without even looking back.

"We're returning to the same barracks anyway. Making Hanji owe me one isn't so bad."

"……if only Buntaichō would notice your presence…"

I'll kick them in the ass and make them notice, Levi said. His back looking like a bashful smile, a grin freely appears on Moblit's face.

So far, all the english translations I've seen (including the official one published as volume purchase bonus) aren't quite as faithful to the original text as I would've expected, and since I really enjoyed this story in particular, I am posting this! I'm still not confident in my grasp of Korean, so for now it's just an english translation! As always, I am including the original text at the end so that everyone can freely read and interpret precisely. Also, autotranslating jp→kr is always going to be more accurate than eng→kr after all hehe. This story is published as a chapter to Shingeki no Kyojin Short Stories 1： Shelter from the Rain, which was released as a limited edition bonus for purchasing 進撃の巨人 Volume 20. (Short Stories 2 was released with Volume 21, while Short Stories 3 is with Volume 29.) Initially, it was part of the Side Stories written for 進撃の巨人 for auスマートパス. On to the original text!

鈍色の空から降りしきる大粒の水滴が、街の石畳を叩いていた。

「うわっとと……どうしよう」

紙袋をいくつも抱え、店屋の軒下へ駆け込んできた男に、先客が不機嫌な声をかける。

「……通り雨だ」

「リヴァイ兵長！」

と、男は敬礼しようとして、抱えていた荷物を取り落としそうになる。

「そのままでいい。お前······ハンジの副官だったな」

「はっ、第四分隊副長、モプリット・パーナーです ｣

「ヤツの使いか｣

「ええ、書物や薬品の買い出し、それに分隊長の身の回りのものを······兵長は」

「エルヴィンの呼び出しだ。兵舎ではできない話だとな」

「……馬車をお使いには？」

「呼び止めるときに泥が跳ねる」

「ああ」

平時のリヴァイは、極端なまでの潔癖症だったと、モブリットは思い出す。

●

「(ハンジさんとは正反対だ。けど……ふたりはお互いに信頼しあっている)」

長年の付き合いが生む、特別な絆。それは、自分と上官の間にはないものだ。

彼の羨望にも似た複雑な思いを感じてか、リヴァイは外の雨雲を見上げながら、ひとりごとのように言った。

「大変だろう。ヤツの副官は」

「と、いうと？」

「夢中になると、てめえの命もそっちのけだ」

「……そうしたときにお守りするのが、自分の仕事だと思っていますので」

「ああ。お前にしか出来ない仕事だ」

「え……？」

意味をはかりかねたモブリットに、リヴァイは目も上げずに言った。

「いくら昔なじみでも、べったり一緒にいるわけじゃねえ。ずっとハンジの側にいるのはお前だ、モブリット」

ぽつり、ぽつりと、雨はその勢いをなくし、空では雲が流れてゆく。

「自信を持ってやれ。たまに嫌気もさすだろうがな」

「(そうか……『これからもハンジさんを頼む』って、言っているんだ)」

●

雨粒はいつしか姿を消して、雲間から差し込む陽光が、ふたりのいる軒下を照らしていた。

「止んだ。貸せ」

「あっ、兵長、重たいですよ!?」

モブリットの抱えていた紙袋の一つを掴み、リヴァイは軒の外へ踏み出して、振り向きもせずにモブリットを促す。

「どうせ同じ兵舎に帰るんだ。ハンジにひとつ貸しを作ってやるのも悪くない」

「……分隊長が兵長の存在に気づけば良いんですが」

ケツを蹴飛ばして気づ��せてやる、と、リヴァイは言った。その背中が照れくさそうな微笑に見えて、モブリットの顔には自然と、笑みが浮かんでいた。

Kalafina - Sapphire (english translation)

In the white palm of a lover's hand falls a single bead of sapphire Touched by comfort born in the night The pure droplet turns into light

Even sorrow, by your hand, transforms into a blue jewel Sweet sighs, bygone griefs, Once I drink it all up, Will you be by my side? Cold fruits are overflowing like sighs Inside my heart touched by love is the light you left behind Even the path descending toward gloomy darkness is illuminated blue by the sapphire In the night こいびとの 白い手のひらに一粒 落ちた sapphire 慰めに触れた 夜に生まれて来た 無垢な雫が 光になる 哀しみさえ貴方の手で 蒼い宝石に変わるの 甘い吐息 古い嘆き 全て飲み干してくれたら 側にいるわ 冷たい果実 吐息のように 零れて行く 愛に触れた胸の中に 貴方が残した光は 暗い闇へ降りる路も 蒼く照らし出す sapphire 夜の中で Lyrics from canta-per-me(dot)net

Kalafina - Door (english translation)

I heard small footsteps in a dream They were of someone coming in front of my door The nostalgic shadow of a boy's gaze is just like back then, knocking on the door That faraway town of rains, even now, I can't forget it, I waited for your bus, on the roundabout way back home Even the sad goodbye is now just a dream If it's a boring joke, I wonder if I can laugh?

It's a Saturday morning, so, You came to visit, didn't you? Open the door of morning mist Come on in, hurry The small footsteps vanished in my dream Leaving behind an old song on the white pillow 小さな足音を 夢の中で聞いた 誰かが私の ドアの前にやって来る 少年の眼差しの 懐かしい影が あの頃みたいに 扉叩いている 遠い雨の街を 今も忘れない 貴方のバスを待った 遠回りの帰り道 哀しいサヨナラさえ 今は夢の中 つまらない冗談だと笑えるかしら 土曜日の朝だから 訪ねて来たんでしょ？ 朝靄のドアを開けて 入っておいでよ、早く・・・ 小さな足音が 夢の中に消えた 白い枕の上に 古い歌を残して Lyrics from CD Booklet

いっそ二人でここで暮らそうか？ ねぇ… リヴァイ… Happy 5th IFKK anniversary, Levihans! 💚💜 (turn on CCs for english translations!)

I was singing this song randomly on the way home on the last weekend of January, and realized how much the lyrics remind me of Levihan. Specifically, the emotions and thoughts of Levi about Hanji throughout the years. So when I got home, I recorded a one-take! I liked it, and since IFKK anniversary was soon, I did this! I hope I was able to convey Levi's emotions! Sorry for the newbie master, it's my first time to try mixing! I sing more on ‪Irisé ‬so follow us there! 💕 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 月光 (Moonlight) vocal cover Vocals & Mix: Mira Key illustration, storyboard, post-prod, translations: Mira 月光 (Moonlight) 暗殺教室 (Assassination Classroom) 主唱：宮脇詩音 作詞：藤林聖子 作曲、編曲：本間昭光 Original vocals: Miyawaki Shion Lyrics: Fujibayashi Shо̄ko Composition, Arrangement: Honma Akimitsu Outro: Sand Dream by Revo / 梶浦由記 (Kajiura Yuki) Sound Horizon, FictionJunction 進撃の巨人 (Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan) 諫山創 (Isayama Hajime) The Last Attack bonus postcard illustrations by 秋田学 (Akita Manabu) 悔いなき選択 (A Choice with No Regrets) Gun Snark, 駿河ヒカル (Suruga Hikaru) DAW: REAPER Video editing: DaVinci Resolve Clips from RoseAMV

月光 (Moonlight - Assassination Classroom) [english translation]

Hey, I have been waiting forever I had been dreaming for this day to come

a day when I am wrapped in the warmth of your hands and conveying to you my true feelings

Even more than the sun, you shine on my heart serenely like moonlight humbly, tenderly, almost like it was love

All this time, I have been gazing at only you You, a waxing crescent moon May your shattered heart be fulfilled one day

Forever, just like this I want to keep listening to your stories

Even though I know that time will change everything I want to believe in something that wouldn't vanish

If there is a light illuminating the path of travelers wandering the dark It would be the eyes of someone staring straight ahead, right? To me, you were that very light Me, a waning gibbous moon In the loneliness of my faltering, you have found me

Suddenly, tears spill from eyes The moonlight is becoming hazy

ねぇずっと　待っていた この日がくること夢見ていた

あなたの手の温かさに包まれて 本当の気持ち伝える日を

太陽よりも　穏やかに心照らす 月明かりみたい ささやかで　やさしくて まるで恋のようだった 私はずっと　あなただけ　見つめていた あなたは三日月 いつの日か壊された心満たされますように

いつまでも　このままで あなたの話を　聞いていたい

時がすべて変えていくと知ってても 消えない何か信じたくて

闇を彷徨う旅人の道を照らす光があるなら まっすぐに見つめてる誰かの瞳でしょう 私にとって　あなたこそ　光だった 私居待月 ためらいの寂しさをあなたが見つけてくれた

ふいに涙が瞳からこぼれてく 霞んでく　月の光 Lyrics source: https://www.uta-net.com/song/208560/
