Sorry, we just had a power cut in the dorm for no real reason. :'D Fun~

Could you please tell me what you hear at 1:45 here, starting with いくら考えても．．．?

Also, do you know any idioms that go something like 地の底から　etc.? It's 0:24 in the video and I'm wondering if it has a special meaning or something... Normally I'd expect a line like this to be 心の底から憎む, after all.

Thankies. ^___^

How far do you want me to listen? Just that one line? If so, I think it's:

I meant until

I thought goals are usually accomplished, not found/discovered, in this context, at least... It'd probably help to know the full context, but still. I'm also not sure what これは wants to refer to.

Sorry if I'm being confusing.

[Gare]

ALL THE EDITS.

[Elin]

Okies, the other bit is (I think):

That makes more sense, thank you.

It's fairly hard to listen with all the music and sound effects... No wonder my version sounded fishy and not very Japanese-like.

[Elin]

Yeah, it wasn't easy to catch. ._. Things like that can be hard even in your native language sometimes. So mine might be wrong too. It seems to make sense in the context, though.

[Gare]

So I suppose I can basically leave my English translation as it is since it's more or less the same.

I didn't read your translation, because if I read a translation, that often becomes all I can hear in the dialogue, and I can't hear alternatives. But I'd probably go with something like: "I dreamed of a simple world where my goals were set out clearly in black and white. But before I knew it, I was dragged into this mess."

[Gare]

Also いくら考えても分からないから yielded a Google result on the game's Twitter page, so I guess that's the correct version. Even though I totally hear it as なら but whatever...

Oh, から makes more sense than なら in the context, though. "I couldn't wrap my head around X no matter how hard I tried, so I abandoned my hometown".

Yeah, that sounds a million times better. So please don't read my translation now.

Also, I didn't hear から either. :'D

Haha, shush, your translations are good.

[Gare]

Aww.

Still, I think "dragged into this mess" sounds more natural than "things had already escalated to this".

[Gare]

Btw thank you for your input! I always appreciate your help.

Can I call you 姉さま now?
