THE PARTING


　　　　　　　　　　《 translated by QP/Diana》


It's alright.
I can be parted from you now.


I'm alright.
Gourry always comes with me,
and I have my own purpose for my journey.



Here I sit alone in the tiny room of the inn
in the nearby village to Sairaag
where we fought against Hellmaster Fibrizo.
The battle was so hard and desperate,
and we are taking a few day's rest here.
But when the morning comes, we'll break up our party.


When the battle was over, the energetic girl said,
"I'll go back to Saillune!".
Another girl with beautiful black long hair said,
"I'll go back to Saillune where my uncle lives."
The blond swordsman said the usual phrase.
And the youn gman with the skin of stone said,
"I'll go back to my own journey."



I go out of the inn... as always.
I always go out for a walk alone
when the hard time comes and I'm so depressed.
I know that recently I take a walk more frequently
than in the days when I traveled alone.
I take a walk alone because I want to be alone.
Therefore I go out for a walk without telling my friends anything.
Even when one of them found me entering the door of the inn,
I could say that I just came back from busting the bandits.


Now...
I eager to be alone... now.
If I stay with my friends tonight,
it will be harder for me to be separated from them tomorrow.
I don't want them to know my missing them.
I won't tell him that I want to travel with him,
because I know that he has his own purpose for his journey,
and it is different from mine.


Therefore...
therefore I let him go alone.
I'll go with Gourry.


For me, it will be natural to go on my own journey with Gourry.
Even if I will not be able to meet the man again,
I'll go my way which I believe to go.
It is the way I live.


He will go on a helpless ways in order to find a cure for his body,
because it is his purpose and it is the way he lives.

I bury my love for him into the bottom of my heart.
I can do it now, and I must do it now.
I can forget it now, and I must do it now.
I hope to say good-bye to him with a smile as I did last time.
I had met him, I had fought with him against the same enemy,
and in the end, I said good-bye to him smiling.
It will be less dangerous for him to go away from me.
I don't want to let him die because of me.
It is the reason why I won't go with him.


Only I hope is...
"may we meet again 'someday'" will be my good-bye word for him.
I wish that I would be with him in his... oh, in our future.
