[Translation] VAZZROCK Official Relationship Chart - ROCK DOWN

Here’s the continuation of the official relationship chart~! This time, it’s ROCK DOWN’s turn~! The format will be the same as with VAZZY’s ^^ 

※ Disclaimer: Some kanji were really small so I might have misread them ^^

※ Please don’t re-post the English translations without permission. Please like and re-blog instead of re-posting ^^

Under the cut, enjoy~! 

VAZZROCK

**Summaries are for VAZZROCK in general.

Summary 1:

“Mamiya Takaaki was part of the same nationally acclaimed unit as SolidS’ Shiki and QUELL’s Shu. (There were seven members but Shiki left halfway so they were left with 6. Mamiya was a member of that unit.) That’s the reason why he can talk to Shiki and Shu casually.”

Summary 2:

“Since they’re also doing the same kinds of activities, they share the dorms together with the members of the SQ and ALIVE Series. (The Tsukiuta. members live in a different dorm.) Since Mamiya, Ouka, Reiji, and Ayumu were already living in the agency dorms, they were asked to move so that they could be together with their other members. Sho, Haruto, Ruka, and Gaku were also living in different dorms but were asked to move. By the way, VAZZY occupies the 10th floor while ROCK DOWN occupies the 11th floor.”

Summary 3:

“Since Ouka has been doing model work from when he was a baby, at 22 years old, he’s the one who’s been in the industry the longest. He’s followed by Reiji’s 20 years in the industry and then Takaaki just a little bit later. Among the TsukiPro members, the 3 of them have had the longest careers.”

Summary 4:

“Sho has already been a part of TsukiPro’s musical department. Since he has a very pretty face, his potentials to do more as an idol-like person increased as well. He has a beautiful voice as said by others but, he thinks that there’s just no way that he can abandon playing the violin.”

第１話　街が色づく頃 Chapter 1: When the street’s coloured

時の国・フォーラント 宙の月…―。

鮮やかな紅葉が、優しい日差しに縁取られる、ある昼下がり…―。

アインツさんに招待されて、私はフォーラントを訪れていた。

The country of time・Forrant, the month of Chu...― During an afternoon one day where the brilliant autumn leaves were filtered by gentle sunshine. Having been invited by Einz, I had visited Forrant.

（賑やかな街……）

(What a lively city…… )

活気にあふれた街並を眺めながら歩いていると、街のいたるところに貼られたポスターが目に入ってくる。

While looking at the vibrant cityscape as I walked,  a poster that had been pasted all over the city’s walls caught my eye.

（何だろう）

(I wonder what it’s about?)

立ち止まり、ポスターを眺める。

I stopped in my tracks and looked at the poster.

ラン「競技会？」

Ran: An atheletic meet?

その時…―。

At that time…―

？？「待ってたぞラン！」

??: I’ve been waiting for you!

後ろから明るい声が響いた。

振り向くと、アインツさんの輝く笑顔がそこにあった。

A bright voice sounded from behind. When I turned behind, I found Einz standing there with a smile.

ラン「アインツさん？」

Ran: Einz?

アインツ

「よく来たな！」

「ん？ 何を見て……」 Einz: You finally came! Einz: Hm? What are you looking at……

私が見ていたポスターをジッと見つめると、アインツさんは陽がさしたように明るく笑った。

When Einz looked at the poster I had been looking at, he let out a laugh as bright as the sun.

アインツ「ああ！ 競技会か！」

Einz: Ohh! An athletic meet!

ラン「はい。楽しそうだなと思って」

Ran: Yup. I thought that it’d be fun.

アインツ

「楽しいと思うぞ！ 国の一大イベントだからな！」

「剣だったり、馬だったり、まあ何でもありのお祭りだ！」

Einz: I think it’ll be fun! Because it’s a big event in this country! Einz: It’s a festival with swords, horses and well, technically everything!

ラン

「お祭り……」

「アインツさんも出場するんですか？」

Ran: A festival…… Ran: Are you participating too?

アインツ「オレ？」

Einz: Me?

私を見つめたまま、アインツさんが何度も瞬きしている。

Einz blinked multiple times while I continued staring at him.

（変な質問をしてしまったのかな……）

(I wonder if I had asked a strange question…… )

アインツ「仕方ない……」

Einz: No choice then……

ラン「え……？」

Ran: Huh…… ?

アインツ

「出る予定はなかったが、オマエがそこまで言うなら出ないわけにはいかないだろ！」

Einz: I didn’t plan to participate but there's no way I can’t not participate in this if you’re saying that!

（聞いただけだったんだけど……）

(You’ve only just heard about it though…… )

アインツ「よし！ 決まったからには行くぞ！」

Einz: Alright! Now that we’ve decided, let’s go!

ラン「あっ！ アインツさん……！？」

Ran: Oh! Einz……!?

アインツ「城がオレ達を待っている！」

Einz: The castle’s awaiting us!

戸惑う私の肩を抱いて、アインツさんが城を指差す。

Einz pointed to the castle as he held my shoulder.

（アインツさんって……）

(Einz…… )

夕暮れに近づいた太陽が、目指す道の先を赤く染め始めていた。

The setting sun approaching sunset had started to make the road we were headed to bathed in a faint red.

第２話　競技会に向けて

Chapter 2: Towards the competition

城に着く頃、空は楓色に染まっていた。

アインツさんに連れられて、私は城の門を潜り抜けた。

The sky was of a maple colour when we had reached the castle. Pulled along by Einz, I passed through the castle’s gates.

アインツ「ここがオレの城だ！」

Einz: This is my castle!

ラン「素敵なお城��すね」

Ran: It’s a beautiful castle.

窓から差し込む夕日が、城の中まで黄昏色に染め上げている。

The light of the sunset streaming in from the window had lighted up the interior of the castle with the colours of twilight.

アインツの弟「兄さん、また何を騒いでいるんだい？」

Einz’s Younger Brother: Brother, what are you up to again?

アインツ

「いい所に来たな！ 紹介するぞ！ オレを助けてくれた姫だ！」

「こっちはオレの弟だ！」

Einz: You came at a great timing! I’ll introduce you! This is the princess who saved me! Einz: This is my younger brother!

ラン「はっ、はじめまして……」

Ran: Ni-Nice to meet you……

アインツの弟「ようこそ」

Einz’s Younger Brother: Welcome.

握手を求めて、弟さんが手を差し出してくれる。

その手を取ろうとしたその時…―

His brother held out a hand for a handshake. When I had tried to take his hand…―

ラン「アインツ……さん……？」

Ran: Einz……?

アインツさんが、私の代わりに弟さんの手を握った。

Einz had taken his brother’s hand in place of me.

アインツ「ランの手を触るなんて、10年早いぞ！」

Einz: It’s 10 years too early for you to be touching her hand!

アインツの弟「握手をしようとしただけだよ」

Einz’s Younger Brother: I was just trying to shake hands you know.

アインツ「そうだ！ 弟よ、オマエに頼みがある！」

Einz: Oh right! There’s something I’d like to ask of you!

弟さんの手を握ったまま、アインツさんが歩き出した。

Einz had started walking whilst holding onto his little brother’s hand.

アインツ「庭に行くぞ！ 競技会に向けて練習しないといけないからな！」

Einz: Let’s go to the garden! I have to practice for the athletic meet!

アインツの弟「競技会って……出るつもりなの！？」

Einz’s Younger Brother: The athletic meet…… you’re planning on participating!?

アインツ「当たり前だ！ さあ行こうじゃないか！」

Einz: Of course! Isn’t it great!

驚く弟さんに構わず、アインツさんがどんどん進んでいく。

Einz had carried on forwards without caring about his surprised younger brother.

ラン「ちょ……ちょっと待ってください……！」

Ran: Wait…… Wait up……!

一人取り残されそうになり、私は慌てて駆け出した。

庭に出ると、アインツさんと弟さんは間をとり向き合った。

I rushed up to them in a hurry just as I was about to be left there alone. When I had gotten out to the garden, Einz and his little brother were facing each other.

アインツの弟「兄さん、本気で競技会に出るつもり？」

Einz’s Younger Brother: Brother, do you seriously intend on participating in the athletic meet?

アインツ「当然だ！ ランが望んでるからな！」

Einz: Of course! Because she wishes for me to!

xxxxxxxxxx

Choices:

そうですね That’s right (Sun) 別に私は…… I don’t really…… (Moon)

**[T/N: I awakened Einz through burning Moon potions so all choices are Sun ones]

Xxxxxxxxxxx

>>Choice: そうですね That’s right(Sun)

ラン「そうですね」

Ran: That’s right.

アインツ「必ず���勝してみせるからな！」

Einz: I will surely show you that I can win the championship!

任せろとでも言うように、アインツさんが歯を見せて笑った。

As if saying that we should leave everything to him, Einz gave a toothy grin.

アインツの弟「馬鹿やってないで練習するよ」

Einz’s Younger Brother: Don’t be an idiot and practice.

ため息交じりに、弟さんが剣の腹で彼の頭を叩く。

Sighing, his younger brother struck him on the head with the blunt end of the sword.

アインツ「痛っ！ アニキを剣で殴るな！」

Einz: Ouch! Don’t go whacking me with a sword!

アインツの弟「ほら、日が沈むよ」

Einz’s Younger Brother: Come on, the sun will set.

二人のやり取りに、堪えきれずに笑ってしまう。

私の笑い声に、二人がこちらを振り向いた。

I couldn’t help but laugh while watching their exchange between each other. The both of them turned to me when they heard my laughter.

ラン「あ、ごめんなさい……」

Ran: Oh, I’m sorry……

アインツ「楽しんでくれているならよかった！」

Einz: I’m glad that you’re enjoying it!

アインツさんが豪快に笑い返してくれた。

Einz laughed out loud.

（清々しい人だな……）

(What a refreshing person…… )

輝く彼の笑顔に、再び頬をほころばせた。

His bright smile brought yet another smile to my face.

アインツ「さあ来い！ オレはいつでもっ……！」

Einz: Now come! I’m always…… !

ラン「アインツさん……？」

Ran: Einz……?

突然、アインツさんが足を押さえてうずくまった。

Suddenly, Einz held his leg and crouched down.

アインツ「ひねった……」

Einz: I twisted it……

ラン「だ、大丈夫ですか！？」

Ran: A-Are you alright!?

アインツ

「これくらいなんともない！ それに、ハンデがあるくらいがちょうどいいからな！」

Einz: This much is nothing! Besides, it’s also a great timing to be having a handicap!

その言葉に、弟さんが海よりも深いため息を吐く。

When he had said that, his younger brother let out a sigh deeper than the sea.

アインツの弟「準備運動くらいしなよ。もういい年のおっさんなんだから」

Einz’s Younger Brother: At least do some preparation exercises. You’re already an old man.

アインツ「何を言ってるんだ！ オレは永遠の20歳だ！」

Einz: What are you talking about! I’m forever 20!

練習の邪魔にならないように、笑い声を抑える。

I suppressed my laughter so as to not disturb their practice.

（楽しいな……）

(It’s fun…… )

藍色に変わり始めた空に、星が輝き始めていた。

The stars begin to sparkle in the blue sky which was starting to turn indigo.

第３話　特訓！特訓！特訓！

Chapter 3: Special training! Special training! Special training!

次の日も、アインツさんと弟さんの練習は早朝から開始された。

Einz and his younger brother started training early in the morning the next day too.

アインツ「見ろ！ オレの華麗な剣さばき！」

Einz: Look! My brilliant swordplay!

アインツさんがすごい勢いで剣を振り回し始める。

Einz began swinging his sword around with great momentum.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

すごい！Amazing! (Sun) 危ない！Watch out! (Moon)

Xxxxxxxx

>>Choice: すごい！Amazing! (Sun)

ラン「すごい……！」

Ran: Amazing!

拍手をする私に、アインツさんがウインクしてみせる。

Einz winked at me as I clapped.

アインツ「だろ？ ラン！」

Einz: Right? Ran!

振り回す彼の剣に、弟さんがトンと剣先をぶつけた。

His younger brother struck his sword with a clang while he was swinging it around.

ラン「あ……」

Ran: Oh……

アインツさんの手から、あっけなく剣が落ちる。

The sword fell from Einz’s hand.

アインツの弟「……真面目にやる気��あるの？」

Einz’s Younger Brother: ……Do you seriously have any motivation to do this?

アインツ「オレはいつだって真面目だ！」

Einz: I’m always serious!

アインツの弟「のわりに上達しないけど？」

Einz’s Younger Brother: Though you aren’t making any progress?

アインツ

「わかってないなオマエは！ オレはまだ本気を出していないだけだ！」

「本気のオレにかかれば、オマエなんか必殺技を出す前に終わるぞ！」

Einz: You really don’t get it, do you! I’ve just not started going at you seriously yet! Einz: If you faced me while I’m serious, I’ll have put an end to you even before I pulled my special move!

アインツの弟「……あの長い名前のやつか」

Einz’s Younger Brother: …… You mean that one with the really long name?

アインツ「そうだ！ アインツミラクルスーパーナンバーワンアタックだ！」

Einz: That’s right! It’s Einz Miraculous Super Number One Attack!

アインツの弟「勢いよく真っ直ぐに剣を振り下ろすだけのやつね」

Einz’s Younger Brother: It’s just a quick swing down of a sword though.

ため息交じりに弟さんが剣を構え直した。

His younger brother sheathed his sword with a sigh.

（アインツさんって……）

（でも、まあ……）

(Einz is really…… ) (But, well…… )

冗談を言っているけれど、彼の額には汗が光っている。

He’s joking but his forehead is shining with sweat.

（すごく一生懸命……私も何か手伝えないかな）

（そうだ！）

(He’s really trying his best…… I wonder if there’s something I could help with?) (Right!)

アインツさん達を残して、私は調理場へ向かった。

城の人に頼んで調理場をお借りして

腕捲りをしてレモネードを作り始める。

Leaving Einz and his younger brother, I headed to the kitchen. I asked a person from the castle if I could borrow their kitchen, rolled up my sleeves and started making lemonade.

…

…

……

……

ラン「よし、これで完成かな？」

Ran: Alright, I guess it’ll be completed with this?

（アインツさん、喜んでくれるかな……）

(I wonder if Einz would be elated…… ?)

アインツ「何を作ってるんだ？ ラン」

Einz: What are you making? Ran.

ラン「ア、アインツさんっ！」

Ran: E-Einz!

いつの間に来ていたのか、

アインツさんが、肩越しに私の手元を覗き込んだ。

I didn’t know when Einz had arrived but he looked at what I was holding over my shoulder.

ラン「これ、レモネードです。運動後にちょうどいいと思って」

Ran: It’s lemonade. I thought that it’d be just nice for something after working out.

アインツ「飲んでいいか？」

Einz: Is it alright if I drink it?

ラン「どうぞ」

Ran: Feel free.

ゴクゴクと喉を鳴らし、アインツさんがレモネードを飲む。

彼のたくましい喉仏に、つい目がいってしまって……

その仕草に、なぜだかちょっとドキドキする。

Einz drank the lemonade in gulps. My eyes couldn’t help but wander to his adam’s apple…… I don’t know why but it’s movements had made my heart pound a little.

アインツ「これうまいな！ 疲れが一気に吹き飛んだ！」

Einz: This is delicious! My tiredness was all blown away at once!

Xxxxxxx

よかった I’m glad (Sun) 本当ですか？ Really? (Moon)

Xxxxxxxxxxx

>>Choice: よかった I’m glad (Sun)

ラン「よかった！」

Ran: I’m glad!

うまいという言葉に、顔が綻ぶ。

My grin widened when I heard him say that it was delicious.

アインツ

「優しいな、オマエ」

「ありがとな！ ラン！」

Einz: You’re really kind. Einz: Thanks! Ran!

アインツさんの大きな手が私の頭をクシャリと撫でる。

Einz’s big hand gently patted my head.

ラン「っ……！」

Ran ……!

アインツ「オマエと出会えてよかった！」

Einz: I’m glad I met you!

ラン「おっ、大袈裟です……」

Ran: You’re exaggerating……

アインツ「そうか？」

Einz: You think so?

アインツさんが笑い出すと、私の胸に温かさが広がっていく。

When Einz had laughed out loud, a warmth filled my chest.

（何でだろう……）

（さっきから胸がなんだか、くすぐったい……）

(I wonder why…… ) (My chest has been feeling ticklish since earlier……)

何日か経つと、アインツさんのお友達も加わり、練習する声は賑やかになっていった。

A few days later, Einz’s friends joined us and the practice became even livelier.

（もうすぐ競技会か……）

(It’ll be the athletic meet soon huh…… )

最初の頃から一層、アインツさんの声も熱を帯びている。

そんな彼をつい目で追ってしまう。

Einz has always been talking with a really enthusiastic voice ever since earlier too.

ラン「差し入れです」

Ran: It’s refreshments.

彼らの練習に混ざれない分、私はレモネードを毎日差し入れた。

Since I couldn’t help in the practice, I made lemonade for them everyday.

アインツの友達A「ランちゃん、ありがとう！」

Einz’s Friend A: Thanks!

アインツの友達B「毎日楽しみだよ！」

Einz’s Friend B: I look forward to it everyday!

ラン「そういっていただくと、作るかいがあります」

Ran: It’s worth making it if you say that.

アインツ「おい！」

Einz: Oi!

後ろからアインツさんの長い腕が、私の肩を抱き寄せた。

Einz’s long arm hugged my shoulder from behind.

アインツ

「勘違いするなよ！ ランはオレの応援をしてくれてるんだ！」

「オマエ達はそのおまけだ！」

Einz: Don’t misunderstand! She’s just doing it to cheer me on! Einz: You guys are just extras!

アインツさんに、皆が不満そうに声を上げる。

Einz had told that to everyone with an unsatisfied voice.

（アインツさんの手が……熱い……）

(Einz’s hand is…… hot…… )

力強い腕や、抱き寄せる大きな手をやけに意識してしまう。

I suddenly became conscious about the strong arm which belonged to the hand that had been holding onto me.

アインツの友達「オマエが勝手に言ってるんだろ？」

Einz’s Friends: You’re just saying that all on your own aren’t you?

アインツ「本当の事だ！ そうだろ？ ラン」

Einz: I mean it! Right?

ラン「あ……」

Ran: Oh……

アインツさんが私の顔を覗き込む。

Einz looked at my face.

（今見られたら……顔が赤いのばれちゃう……）

(If I’m seen now…… He’ll realise that my face is red…… )

顔を彼からそっと逸らすと、

アインツさんは驚いたように目を見開いて、私から手を離した。

When I had gently turned my face away from him, Einz widened his eyes, as if surprised and let go of me.

アインツ「わっ悪い！ 女の肩を気安く抱いたらダメだよな！」

Einz: Whoa, my bad! Right, I can’t just go hugging a girl's shoulders on a whim can I!

私の顔の赤さが移ったのか、アインツさんの顔も、真っ赤に染まっていた。

Maybe it was because Einz had noticed the redness of my face but his face had turned red too.

アインツの友達A「ほらみろー。困ってるじゃないかあ」

Einz’s Friend A: Come on lookー Isn’t she troubled by it?

アインツ「う、うるさいっ！！」

Einz: S-Shut up!!

彼の温もりが離れたことが、少し寂しく思えた…―。

そしてあっという間に競技会の日を迎えた…―。

I felt a little lonely that his warmth had been withdrawn…― And the day of the athletic meet arrived in no time at all…―

第４話　競技会が始まる！

Chapter 4: The athletic meet starts!

澄んだ光が街を包みこむ時……

ついに競技会当日を迎えた。

開幕を告げる花火が、青空を彩る。

When the clear light of the day wrapped the city…… The day where the athletic meet is celebrated has finally arrived. The fireworks that signified the opening coloured the once blue sky.

ラン「わぁ……！ すごい！」

Ran: Wow……! Amazing!

街のいたる所で行われるさまざまな競技に、応援の声や歓声が上がっている。

屋台からは、お肉の焼ける香ばしい香りや、甘いメープルの香りがただよう。

The sounds of cheering rose from the various competitions held in all parts of the city. The fragrance of cooked meat and sweet maple arose from the stores.

（お祭りみたいで楽しいな）

(It’s just like a festival and seems like it’ll be fun)

ラン「えっと、アインツさんが出る競技の会場は……」

Ran: Err, let’s see, the venue of the athletic meet which Einz’s participating in……

辺りを見渡し、剣の競技会場を探す。

I looked around and searched for a place where a sword competition could be held at.

（早くアインツさんの笑顔が見たいな）

(I want to hurry and see Einz’s smiling face)

剣の競技会場は、街の中央にある大きなホールだった。

その中へ入ると、出番を待つ選手の中からアインツさんを見つけた。

たくさんの選手たちの奥で、彼は一人静かに椅子に座っていた。

The venue of the sword competition was a big hall in heart of the city. When I had entered the area, I found Einz waiting among those still waiting for their turns. He was sitting in a chair quietly behind lots of participants.

ラン「アインツさん」

Ran: Einz.

アインツ「よ、よう、ラン！」

Einz: Y-Yo!

アインツさんが立ち上がり笑顔を浮かべる。

彼の笑顔に、私の頬が緩んだ。

Einz rose and smiled. His smile made me do the same too.

ラン「もうすぐですね」

Ran: It’ll be your turn soon right?

アインツ「そうだな、もうすぐだ！」

Einz: That’s right, it’ll be my turn soon!

ラン「練習の成果が発揮できるといいですね！」

アインツ「そうだな！ 発揮できるといいな！」

Ran: It’d be great if you could show the results of your practicing! Einz: That’s right! It’ll be great if I could demonstrate it!

ラン「……優勝目指して頑張ってくださいね」

Ran: …… Please do your best and aim for victory.

アインツ「そうだな！ 頑張ってくださる！」

Einz: That’s right! I’ll do my best!

（アインツさん……？）

(Einz……?)

Xxxxxxxxxx

応援してます I’ll be cheering you on (Sun) 緊張してますか？ Are you nervous? (Moon) xxxxxxxxxxx

>>Choice: 応援してます I’ll be cheering you on (Sun)

ラン「応援してますね」

Ran: I’ll be cheering you on.

アインツ「そうだな！ 応援する……いや、してくれ！」

Einz: That’s right! I’ll do my best…… no, I must!

（やっぱり、アインツさんの態度がおかしいような……）

(His attitude’s strange after all…… )

じっと見つめると、アインツさんが視線を彷徨わせる。

Einz’s gaze wandered when I stared at him.

ラン「……大丈夫ですか？」

Ran: …… Are you alright?

アインツ「えっと……」

Einz: Err……

ラン「アインツさん……？」

Ran: Einz……?

アインツ

「そっそんな顔するな！ とにかく大丈夫だ！ オレの活躍、期待していてくれよ！」

Einz: Don’t make an expression like that! In any case, I’m fine! Look forward to my success!

彼の笑顔が、私には無理しているように見えてしまう。

でも…―。

To me, I could see that his smile was forced. But…―

ラン「はい、わかりました」

Ran: Alright, I got it.

彼に笑いかけると、私は控え室を後にした。

I left the waiting room after smiling at him.

（不安をあおっちゃダメだよね）

（本当は何でも話して欲しいけど……）

(I can’t make him nervous instead.) (Though I honestly wish that there was something else we could talk about…… )

彼が自分の気持ちを話してくれない事に、寂しさを覚える。

その時…―。

I remembered the loneliness when he had refused to talk about his own feelings. At that time…―

アインツ「どうしたんだオレは！ らしくないだろこんなの！」

Einz: What am I doing! This isn’t like me at all!

苛立ったようなアインツさんの声が、扉の向こうから聞こえてきた。

I could hear Einz’s frustrated voice from behind the door.

（アインツさん……？？）

(Einz……??)

…

…

……

……

やがて、剣の競技が始まった。

立て続けにミスを繰り返し、アインツは思うように試合を運べていなかった。

The sword competition had eventually begun. Einz had repeated his mistakes in succession and was unable to carry on as he had expected.

アインツ「くそっ！ 何でうまくいかないんだ！？」

Einz: Damn it! Why isn’t it going well!?

焦りの色が、アインツの顔に表れている。

Impatience had begun to appear on Einz’s face.

アインツ

「ランにかっこいい所をみせたいだけなんだ！」

「なのにアイツに見られているってだけでオレは……！」

「どうしてこんなに、胸や手が震えて……！！」

「これはなんなんだ？ アイツを見るたびに熱くなる気持ちは！」

Einz: I just wanted to show her a cool side of me! Einz: Even though she’s watching me, I…… ! Einz: Why are my hands and heart shaking so much…… !! Einz: What is this? I feel hot whenever I look at her!

その時…―。

And that time…―

ラン「アインツさん、頑張ってください！」

Ran: Einz, please do your best!

ランの自分を応援する声が、アインツの耳に届いた。

The sound of my cheering had reached his ears.

アインツ

「！！」

「あるじゃないか！ この気持ちを言いあらわす言葉が！」

Einz: !! Einz: There is one, isn’t there! A word that can express this feeling!

息を整えると、アインツは剣を握り直した。

Breathing in, Einz adjusted his grip on his sword.
