[Narration]
ヘレナとニコルが居なくなると、辺りは急に静かになった。
>After Helena and Nicolle left, the area suddenly went silent.

[Narration]
再び歩き出した杏里は考える。これからどうすべきかを。
>As she started walking again, Anri returned to her thoughts, trying to figure out where to start her investigations.

[Narration]
確かに、PSですら犯人を捜し出すことができないでいる。
>While the PS had had no luck in finding this criminal...

[Narration]
しかし彼女らは、所詮この学園を外から眺めているにすぎない。たとえ、同じ船上で生活しているとしても。
>All those girls can do is look at school life from the outside in. Even though they live on board.

[Narration]
学生の立場から情報を集められれば、違う展開があるかもしれない。
>As someone close to the students, Anri might be able to get information they couldn't.

[Narration]
根が楽天家である杏里は、その考えがたいへん気に入った。なんだ、まったく心配することはない。
>Anri was an optimist right to her core, so even though she knew she was in a lot of trouble, she wasn't really worried.

[Narration]
打つ手があるのなら、打ち破ることもできるだろう──彼女はそう結論をつけて、当面の目的を決めた。
>If it was at all possible to solve this mystery, she would. Having reached this conclusion, she decided what her first goal would be.

[Narration]
まず、信頼できる人物の助けを借りようと足を踏み出したところへ、騒がしい笑い声が聞こえてきた。
>Then, as Anri made her way toward the rooms of someone she knows she can trust to lend her a hand, she heard noisy laughter.

[Narration]
女性は慎ましやかに──をモットーとするこの学園では珍しい。
>With the school's motto being "Women should be modest," this was quite unusual.

[Soyeon]
こらっ、ダメだって!そんな大きな声を出してると、品格指導の先生に怒られちゃうよっ!
>Come on, cut it out! If the Etiquette teacher heard you shouting like this, she'd be very cross!

[Narration]
笑い声に重なって、負けず劣らずの大声が響いた。
>A new voice called out, striving to be heard over the laughter.

[Soyeon]
もうっ……!ほらっ、みんな静かにしなさーい。
>Sheesh...! Look, everyone just quiet down!

[Soyeon]
ジョアンナ先生にでも見つかったら、また品位習得3セットだよ!?
>If Joanna-sensei sees you all like this, you'll be taking three semesters of graceful behavior.

[Soyeon]
みんなだって、あれ、つらいでしょ〜。
>And I don't think anyone will enjoy that.

[Anri]
(やっぱり、ビジタークラスの娘たちか……一緒にいるのは、ファン・ソヨンじゃないか)
>(Ah-hah, it's the Visitor Class... And Fan Soyoung, too.)

[Narration]
騒がしい一団に杏里は見覚えがあった。
>Anri was familiar with this noisy bunch.

[Narration]
明らかに彼女より年少と見える集団は、ビジタークラスの少女たちだ。
>The girls, looking much younger than Fan, must indeed be the Visitor Class.

[Narration]
そして、それをまとめようと四苦八苦している少女が、ファン・ソヨン。
>And the girl struggling to keep them all under control was Fan Soyoung.

[Narration]
杏里より一学年下で、美しさや華やかさを競い合うこの学園においては、ちょっと風変わりな少女だ。
>A year under Anri, in a school where every person was competing to be the best and brightest, she was considered to be a little odd.

[Narration]
そして、それゆえに目立つ。
>So she tended to stand out.

[Narration]
杏里の視線に気がついて、最初にぺこりと頭を下げたのはソヨンの方だった。
>Soyoung noticed that Anri was looking her way, and began to bow.

[Soyeon]
あっ……!どうも、お早うございます、杏里先輩!
>Ah...! A very good morning to you, Anri-senpai!

[Anri]
おはよう、ソヨン。今日も調子はいいみたいだね?
>Morning, Soyoung. You're looking well today.

[Soyeon]
はい……。あれ、あたしの名前、ご存じなんですか?
>Yes.... Huh? You know my name?

[Narration]
ファン・ソヨン
>Fan Soyoung

[Narration]
韓国出身の元気少女。このお嬢様学園には珍しく、本当の意味で面倒見が良い。
>An energetic girl from South Korea. She really tries to be helpful, which, at this school for young ladies, is somewhat unusual.

[Narration]
そのため、下級生の世話から教師の手伝いまで、便利に使われているところがないでもない。
>Thus she is often employed by the teachers to look after the younger students.

[Anri]
この学園、学生の数はたかが知れてるからね。どうしたって、他人の話は耳に入ってくるさ。
>There aren't very many students at this school, so talk about new people tends to travel fast.

[Anri]
特に、かわいい娘なら尚更にね。
>Especially if she's really cute.

[Soyeon]
え……はぁ……。
>Eh...? Oh...

[Narration]
合点のいかない顔でソヨンが微笑む。あまり、そういった評価にはなれていないらしい。
>Soyoung smiled blankly. It seemed she wasn't used to such talk.

[Clare]
あのぅ、杏里先輩……ですよね?わたしクレアっていいます。
>Um, Anri-senpai... right? You can call me Clare.

[Narration]
右側からソヨンにしがみついていた少女がぺこりと会釈した。促されるように、近くにいるふたりも頭を下げる。
>The girl was was hanging from Soyoung's right arm bowed in greeting. This meant there were now two heads bowing down.

[Mirriela]
ミリエラです。よろしくお願いします、杏里先輩。
>I'm Mirriela. Pleased to meet you, Anri-senpai.

[Narration]
左に立つミリエラと自己紹介した少女の視線にふと妙な光を感じ、杏里は彼女を見つめたが、向こうは視線を逸らしてしまった。
>The girl to Soyoung's left introduced herself. Anri noticed a strange sparkle in her eyes, but when she looked at her intently, the girl averted her gaze.

[Coe]
えっとぉ、コーです。
>Uhm... I'm Coe!

[Narration]
最後に中央の少女が無垢な笑顔を振りまく。この三人が常々一緒に行動しているのを、杏里は何度か見かけていた。
>The last girl popped up with a bright smile. These three girls were always together; Anri had often spotted them around the school.

[Narration]
他の少女たちの中にも会釈してくる者は居たが、大抵は警戒心のこもった目で杏里を見つめていた。
>All the other girls began to bow in greeting, but they were also watching Anri warily.

[Anri]
よろしく、クレア、ミリエラ、コー。あと三週間でお別れなのが残念だよ。
>Hello there, Clare, Mirriela, Coe. It's such a pity that we shall have to say farewell after a mere three weeks.

[Narration]
掛け値無しの本音で杏里は微笑みかけた。が、コーが首を傾げる。
>Although Anri's smile was sincere, Coe gave her a doubtful look.

[Coe]
でもぉ、杏里さんも三週間後には船を降りられるんですよねぇ?
>But don't you have to leave the ship at the same time?

[Coe]
じゃあ、またしばらく一緒に居られますよ。
>So we won't need to say goodbye for a while after that.

[Anri]
はい?
>Huh?

[Soyeon]
こっ、こら、コー!
>H-hey now, Coe!

[Narration]
ソヨンがあわててコーの口を塞いだ。
>Soyoung hastily covered Coe's mouth.

[Clare]
あっ、じゃあ、あの事件の犯人が杏里先輩だって噂、本当なの!?
>Ah, then, Anri-senpai really is the criminal, like all the rumors are saying?

[Mirriela]
それで退学になるって話?
>And the talk about you being expelled?

[Soyeon]
クレア、ミリエラも!ダメだって!
>Clare! Mirriela! I told you to cut it out!

[Anri]
参ったな……君らも知ってるのか。ひょっとして、ボクが退学になるのを知ったのは、ボクが最後じゃあるまいな。
>Oh geez.... All of you know about that too? I'm starting to think I was the last one to find out I was being expelled.

[Soyeon]
あ、あの、すいません、杏里先輩!
>A-ah, please forgive us, Anri-senpai.

[Anri]
先輩なんて、堅苦しい呼び方は好きじゃないんだ。
>Don't call me 'senpai', I really don't care for such formalities.

[Soyeon]
──え?
>--Eh?

[Anri]
いっそ、呼び捨てにでもしてもらった方が嬉しい。
>I would be much happier if you would just call me by my name.

[Soyeon]
ええっ!?そんな、先輩を呼び捨てにするんですか……?
>Ehh!? But, to call a senpai without honorific...!?

[Soyeon]
できません。じゃあ……杏里さん?
>I couldn't.... Maybe... Anri-san?

[Anri]
うーん。ま、それでいいよ。
>Hmmmm.... Well, it'll do.

[Clare]
えーと……。
>Um....

[Narration]
ふたりの会話を眺めていたクレアが、遠慮がちに声をかけた。
>Clare, having watched this exchange, interrupted hesitantly.

[Clare]
それで、結局、杏里先輩が犯人だったんですか?
>So, are you the criminal, or what?

[Soyeon]
クレア、そんな決めつけはいけないよ!
>Clare! You mustn't say such things!

[Narration]
杏里が口を開くより先に、断固とした口調で言い切ったのはソヨンだった。
>Before Anri could even open her mouth, Soyoung started scolding Clare in a firm voice.

[Soyeon]
証拠は何もないって話だし、こうして話をしていても、杏里さん、そんな事する人には見えないでしょ?
>Everyone says there's no proof. And, really, even if it is the official story, does Anri-san look like someone who would do such a thing?

[Mirriela]
……ソヨンちゃん、外面で中身を判断するのは良くないよ。
>...Soyoung-chan, you can't judge something like that based on looks alone.

[Soyeon]
じゃあ、ミリエラは杏里さんが犯人だと思うの?
>So you think that Anri-san really is the criminal, then?

[Mirriela]
ん〜……どうだろ?
>Mmm... I wonder?

[Clare]
杏里先輩、犯人なんですか?
>Anri-senpai, are you the criminal or not?

[Anri]
誓って言うけれど、無理強いしたことはないよ。
>Though the only proof I can give is my word, I've never done something to someone against their will.

[Coe]
あー、じゃあ趣味はやっぱりソッチ系なんですねぇ。
>Ah, so it's true you have 'different preferences.'

[Soyeon]
コーったら!……趣味とか、主義とか、そういうのは、人それぞれでいいじゃないか……。
>Coe, really! Preferences, priciples, things like that, to each their own...

[Soyeon]
人に迷惑さえかけなければ。
>As long as it doesn't upset anyone...

[Mirriela]
かけてないんですか。
>So no one has been upset, huh?

[Anri]
あらためて言うよ。無理強いしたことはない。犯人はボクじゃないよ。
>I'll say it again. I haven't forced myself on anyone. The criminal isn't me.

[Narration]
三人娘は顔を見合わせた。ソヨンが得心顔で頷く。
>Soyoung nodded in understanding, while behind her, the three girls exchanged glances.

[Anri]
退学の話は本当だけれどね。
>The part about me being expelled is true, though.

[Anri]
実は、かろうじて汚名返上の機会を与えられた。三週間後のパーティーまでに真犯人を見つけられれば、ボクの退学は取り消しになる。
>Actually, I have been given a small chance to clear my name. If I can find the real criminal before the party three weeks from now, my expulsion will be cancelled.

[Clare]
じゃあ、本当に犯人じゃないんですか?
>So then, you really aren't the criminal?

[Anri]
無理矢理は嫌いだってば。
>I'm telling you, I would hate to force myself on anybody.

[Anri]
女の子は優しく、大切に扱うさ。こんなふうにね──。
>A girl must be treated gently, and with the greatest care. Like so--

[Narration]
杏里の指先が首すじを軽くくすぐった。それだけで、クレアは電撃に打たれたように跳ねる。
>With her fingertips, Anri lightly tickled the back of Clare's neck. Just this was enough to make Clare jump back as if shocked.

[Clare]
ひゃあっ!?
>Hyaa!?

[Anri]
──ね?無理矢理は良くない。
>--See? To force her would be wrong.

[Soyeon]
あ、杏里さん!?
>A-Anri-san!?

[Coe]
うわ、クレアったら顔真っ赤。
>Uwa, Clare's turning all red!

[Narration]
──そこへ、鐘楼の音が聞こえてきた。事の成り行きに気を取られていたビジター達が我に返る。
>Just then, the bell rang, catching the attention of the Visitor Class.

[Soyeon]
ほら、みんな小シアターに移動でしょう。そろそろ行かないと。
>Alright everyone, time to head to the little theater. Quickly now.

[Soyeon]
それじゃあ……あの、杏里さん。真犯人捜し、頑張ってください。
>Well then... erm, Anri-san. Please do your best to find the real criminal.

[Clare]
さ、さよなら。
>G-goodbye.

[Mirriela]
……じゃあ。
>...Later.

[Coe]
バイバーイ。
>Bye-bye!

[Anri]
うん、あわてて転ばないようにね。
>Take care of yourselves, okay?

[Narration]
にぎやかな一同を見送って、杏里は軽く息をついた。
>Busily seeing them off, Anri breathed a small sigh.

[Narration]
あからさまな声はなかったが、杏里への不審をたたえた視線をいくつも感じた。
>Though it wasn't apparent in their voices, Anri could see the deep suspicion in each girl's eyes.

[Narration]
自分はすっかり悪者になっているようだ。が──。
>It seemed she was seen as the villian after all. But--

[Anri]
まあ、いいか。さ、かなえさんのところへ行こう。
>Well, whatever. Now, to Kanae-san's room.

[Narration]
幸いにというべきか、杏里は他人から自分への評価を、あまり気にしない方だった。
>Though she wasn't really happy about it, Anri wasn't the sort to let how other people thought about her bother her much.
