It had been a week since my arrival in the village.
我到这个村子已经一个星期了。
After all the 'Fables' settled down in their places, I began preparing for the next scenario right away. (TL: Previous term for '설화' changed from 'Story' to 'Fable'.) 「The Isle of Reincarnators is formed around three islands - the 'Small Island' where the Probability of the 1st generation of Fables is applicable. The 'Middle Island', where the Probability of the 2nd generation of Fables is applicable. Finally, the 'Main Island', where the Probability of the 3rd generation of Fables is applicable….」
在所有的寓言故事都安顿好之后，我开始为下一个场景做准备。(TL:前面的“”从“故事”改成了“寓言”)「转世岛」由三个岛屿组成，即「小岛」，适用第一代寓言的概率。“中岛”，第二代寓言的概率是适用的。最后是“主岛”，第三代寓言的概率适用于......」
Unlike how it was in the 'Small Island', I'd be directly clashing against the Constellations from the 'Middle Island' onwards. Meaning, the beings that managed to survive while breaking past the rather realistic Probability of the 1st generation were waiting for me there.
不像在小岛上那样，从中岛开始，我将直接与星座发生碰撞。也就是说，那些在突破第一代的现实可能性的过程中设法生存下来的生物正在那里等着我。
[The Great Fable, 'Torch that Swallowed the Myth', urges you to get a move on.]
[《伟大的寓言》，《吞噬神话的火炬》，敦促你继续前进。]
As usual, one of the guys remained temperamental, but, well, I figured that I had gained enough control over them by now, anyway. Yu Ho-Seong said this before - Fables would try to control their user, but at the same time, they would also show the person the way forward, too. (TL: Yu Hosung → Yu Ho-Seong.) [The Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', is waiting for your decision.]
像往常一样，其中一个家伙仍然喜怒无常，但是，好吧，我认为我现在已经足够控制他们了，无论如何。YuHo-Seong表示，这之前寓言会试图控制他们的用户，但与此同时，他们也会为用户指明前进的道路。(译者:余和成→余和成)[伟大的寓言，‘魔鬼世界的春天’，正在等待你的决定。]
These guys would have to continue existing within me from now on. We'd get to tell new stories and they would shine, as new and different Fables, as well.
从现在开始，这些家伙将不得不继续存在于我的身体里。我们可以讲述新的故事，它们也会像新的、不同的寓言一样闪闪发光。
"Miss Hui-Won, good to see you that you're unhurt." (TL: Jung Heewon → Jeong Hui-Won.) "Can't you change your repertoire of greetings already? I almost died for real this time, you know?"
“许媛小姐，很高兴看到你没受伤。”(译者:郑鹤媛→郑惠媛)“难道你不能改变你的问候方式吗？这次我真的差点死了，你知道吗?”
I was told that my companions arrived around a week after I began my 'Fable Control' training. Apparently, they got lost at the outskirts of the island and that delayed their arrival somewhat.
我被告知，我的同伴在我开始“寓言控制”训练一周后到达。显然，他们在岛的外围迷路了，这使他们的到来有些推迟。
I looked around and asked her. "Where is everyone?"
我环顾四周，问她:“大家都去哪儿了?”
"They are in training right now."
“他们现在正在训练。”
We walked for a bit and soon, the sight of the kids, Yi Hyeon-Seong, and Jang Ha-Yeong sitting cross-legged on the ground caught my eyes. It seemed that their training wasn't easy, judging from their current facial expressions. (TL: Lee Hyunsung → Yi Hyeon-Seong; Jang Hayoung → Jang Ha-Yeong)
我们走了一会儿，很快，看到孩子们，李贤成和张夏勇盘腿坐在地上，吸引了我的目光。从他们目前的面部表情来看，他们的训练似乎并不容易。(译者注:李贤星→李贤成;张海英→张夏勇)
But, that was rather obvious.
但是，这是相当明显的。
Even at the shortest estimation, the 'Fable Control' training would at least need around two months. The Yu Joong-Hyeok from the original story needed to waste over 3 weeks, even with his incredible talent, so….. (TL: Yu Jonghyuk → Yu Joong-Hyeok)
即使在最短的估计，“寓言控制”培训将至少需要两个月左右。原来故事里的于重赫，即使有着惊人的才华，也要浪费3个多星期，所以......(译者注:于重赫→于重赫)
I quietly observed the Fables of my companions.
我静静地观察着同伴们的寓言。
[Fable, 'Kim Dok-Ja Company's Code of Conduct', is writhing around in pain.] [Fable, 'One who Hears the Monster's Voice', is moaning in pain.] [Fable, 'One who Craves for the Trust of his Comrades', is in great pain.]
[寓言:“金道子公司的行为准则”，正在痛苦中挣扎。][寓言《听见怪物声音的人》痛苦地呻吟着][寓言:“渴望得到同志信任的人痛苦万分。”]
Like how I earned my Fables, they too had earned theirs. Going through the same scenarios didn't mean that we'd automatically earn the exact same Fables.
就像我赢得了我的寓言故事，他们也赢得了他们的故事。经历过同样的场景并不意味着我们会自动获得完全相同的寓言。
Their Fables would be different from each other's because they all possessed different levels of sensibilities.
他们的寓言会有所不同，因为他们都具有不同程度的感性。
"The flow of time here is slower compared to other islands, so it'll be fine to take it easy with your training. You shouldn't try to rush it. You will be able to fight properly in the Great War of Saints and Demons only after you've completed your training, you see." (TL: Constellation and Demon War → Great War of Saints and Demons)
“与其他岛屿相比，这里的时间流动较慢，所以你可以在训练中放松一下。你不应该操之过急。你知道，只有在完成训练之后，你才能正确地在圣恶大战中战斗。”(星座与魔鬼战争→圣魔大战)
"I understand."
“我明白。”
[Fable, 'Demon King's Fanatical Believer', is singing a song.] 「Oh, oh~, Dok-Ja hyung said it back then. I am the god of the world. Follow me, and you'll learn the truth of the world~.」 "….And when Gil-Yeong wakes up, please tell him this. Something really bad will happen if he continues to acquire twisted Fables." (Lee Gilyoung → Yi Gil-Yeong)
[寓言《魔王的狂热信徒》正在唱一首歌]“哦，哦~，Dok-Jahyung说回来了。我是世界之神。跟着我，你就会了解世界的真相。”当吉英醒来的时候，请告诉他这个。如果他继续沉迷于扭曲的寓言故事，真正的坏事就会发生。”(李吉英→李吉荣)
Jeong Hui-Won broke into a fit of giggles, and I reprimanded her with a slightly more serious tone of voice. "This isn't a joke, you know."
郑慧媛突然咯咯地笑了起来，我用稍微严肃一点的语气斥责了她。“你知道，这不是开玩笑。”
"I'm not joking, either. Mister Dok-Ja, you really need to consciously recognise your position. I'm talking about recognising just what kind of a person you are to these kids."
“我也不是在开玩笑。Dok-ja先生，你真的需要有意识地认识到你的立场。我说的是认识到你对这些孩子来说是什么样的人。”
"…"
"..."
"Do you think they would've made it this far without you, Mister Dok-Ja?"
“你认为没有你，他们能走到这一步吗，杜佳先生?”
I wordlessly stared at Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong as they pinched the backs of each other's hands even during the training itself. These two kids trusted me and were willing to come this far while sharing our imperfect story together. (TL: Shin Yoosung → Shin Yu-Seung) [A brand new Fable that had not existed before has begun sprouting within you.]
我一言不发地盯着申玉升和易吉英，看着他们甚至在训练中互掐对方的手背。这两个孩子信任我，愿意走到这一步，一起分享我们不完美的故事。一个以前从未存在过的全新寓言已经在你的内心萌芽了
"….It's the same story for me."
“对我来说也是一样。”
The last person I looked at was Jang Ha-Yeong. Trickles of cold perspiration soaked her forehead as she maintained the intense battle against her Fables.
我最后看到的人是张夏勇。当她与她的寓言故事进行激烈的斗争时，一滴滴的冷汗浸透了她的额头。
「I don't want to hear it. Honestly, I don't want to.」 「But, you must hear it. No matter what, you must.」
“我不想听”。老实说，我不想这样做。」「但你一定要听」。无论如何，你必须这样做。」
My ears overheard the Fable's voice coming out of her. With that, I could guess which Fable Jang Ha-Yeong was watching right now. Most likely, she'd get to awaken a new attribute on this island. And then, she'd use that as a foundation to become the 'King of the Transcenders'. (ED: 'Transcendents' → 'Transcenders'.)
我的耳朵无意中听到了她说的寓言。有了这些，我可以猜出张夏勇寓言现在正在看的是哪一部。最有可能的是，她会唤醒这个岛上的一个新属性。然后，她将以此为基础成为超越者之王。(ED:“卓越者”→“超越者”)
"Mister Dok-Ja."
“杜佳先生。”
"Yes?"
“什么事?”
"Are you aware that you've been behaving indifferently only towards Miss Ha-Yeong?"
“你有没有意识到，你对夏艳小姐的态度一直很冷淡?”
"That wasn't my original intention. Things somehow worked out that way…."
“那不是我的初衷。事情不知怎么就变成那样了......”
"That story you told us, shouldn't you tell that to Miss Ha-Yeong, as well?"
“你给我们讲的那个故事，你不也应该告诉夏艳小姐吗?”
The story I told my companions…. It was quite clear what Jeong Hui-Won referred to in this case.
我告诉同伴的故事......很明显，郑慧媛在这个案子里指的是什么。
「This world is constructed with a novel as the basis, and I'm the sole reader who read that novel.」
“这个世界是以小说为基础构建起来的，我是唯一一个读过这部小说的人”
Currently, I've told that story to only a small number of my companions. Most other people, including Kyrgios and the Breaking the Sky Sword Saint, didn't know this truth. Jang Ha-Yeong was no exception.
目前，我只把这个故事告诉了一小部分同伴。大多数其他人，包括基尔吉奥斯和破天剑圣徒，并不知道这个真相。张夏勇(JangHa-Yeong)也不例外。
I lowered my waist and observed her face a little closer.
我低下腰，仔细观察她的脸。
「Deep double eyelids, and gently curling golden hair. Even without [Moisture Retention], pale-smooth and soft skin. Slightly plump cheeks, and charming dimples that appear when she smiles. Due to an oddly androgynous atmosphere, her gender is hard to identify with her face alone.」
「深邃的双眼皮及轻柔卷曲的金发」。即使没有[保湿]，苍白光滑和柔软的皮肤。微胖的脸颊，微笑时露出迷人的酒窝。由于奇怪的雌雄同体的气氛，她的性别很难仅凭面部识别。」
The descriptions from within the text of Ways of Survival, and the comments I had left behind in the past, were all coming back to me now. Her appearance that exactly matched my imagination became an indescribable guilt weighing me down.
来自《生存之道》文本中的描述，以及我过去留下的评论，现在都回到了我的脑海。她的外表完全符合我的想象，却成了一种无法形容的负罪感，让我心情沉重。
"I'm not sure how much I can be honest with her."
“我不知道我能对她说多少实话。”
"Pardon?"
“什么?”
I couldn't tell Jang Ha-Yeong the truth. I mean, how could I?
我不能告诉张夏勇真相，我是说，我怎么能告诉他呢？
Tell her that I created you? That you were born because of my comments…?
告诉她我创造了你?告诉她你是因为我的评论而出生的？
"I've been thinking about this quite often lately. Maybe, it wasn't that the novel I've been reading became reality, but that novel was simply a recording of this world…."
“最近我经常想到这个问题。也许，并不是因为我一直在读的小说变成了现实，而是因为那本小说只是对这个世界的记录......”
"….What are you suddenly talking about?"
“你突然说起什么来了?”
Maybe, that was what I've been wishing for.
也许，这就是我一直希望的。
「Just like what the much-younger Kim Dok-Ja had been thinking, a long time ago.」
“就像很久以前年轻得多的金道子所想的那样”
Jeong Hui-Won looked back at me with a puzzled expression, and I replied with a weak grin.
郑慧媛带着困惑的表情回头看着我，我微笑着回答。
"I like being with you, Miss Hui-Won."
“许媛小姐，我喜欢和你在一起。”
"Uhm, yes, me too."
“嗯，是的，我也是。”
"It's the same story with our other companions, as well. For now, that's as far as my thoughts have gone. I apologise for being selfish like this."
“我们的其他同伴也是这样。现在，我的想法已经到此为止了。我为我的自私道歉。”
She was lost in a train of thought for a little while but nodded her head soon enough.
她沉浸在一连串的思绪中有一会儿，但很快就点了点头。
"Well…. It's fine. Mister Dok-Ja, you are doing what you want to do, anyway. I understand."
“嗯......没关系。Dok-Ja先生，无论如何，你正在做你想做的事情。我理解。”
"Thank you. Ah, by the way. When our companions wake up, please give them this."
“谢谢。啊，顺便说一下。等我们的同伴醒了，请把这个给他们。”
"And this is….?"
“这是......?”
"It's the information on the upcoming scenario."
“这是关于即将到来的情景的信息。”
The memo pad I handed over to Jeong Hui-Won contained information on the 'Middle Island', our next scenario.
我交给郑慧媛的备忘录本上有关于“中岛”的信息，我们的下一个计划。
"Hang on, Mister Dok-Ja, again you….!"
“等等，Dok-Ja先生，又是你......!”
Jeong Hui-Won and her quick wits seemed to have realised why I was handing this thing over to her.
郑慧媛和她敏捷的头脑似乎已经意识到我为什么要把这个东西交给她。
*
"I knew that you'd show up around today or so."
“我就知道你今天会出现。”
I sought out Yu Ho-Seong first before leaving the 'Small Island'. Whatever the case might have been, he taught me the Fable Control, so I wanted to express my gratitude - well, that was a lie. I had an ulterior motive for being here.
在离开小岛之前，我先找到了余和成。不管是什么情况，他教我寓言控制，所以我想表达我的感激-好吧，那是一个谎言。我来这里是别有用心的。
"May I ask, why did you accept our group?"
“我可以问一下，你为什么接受我们这个团体?”
Yu Ho-Seong frowned deeply after hearing my sudden question.
余和成听了我的突然提问，皱起了眉头。
"….It's just the whims of an old geezer."
“......这只是一个老家伙的怪念头。”
It was a rather bizarre sight to see a kid who looked to be ten years old or so refer to himself as a 'geezer', but it wasn't an improbable spectacle, either. Because, the Invincible Fist Yu Ho-Seong was an existence that had lived far longer than your regular Demon Kings or Archangels, after all.
看到一个看起来只有十岁左右的孩子自称‘老头’，这是一个相当奇怪的景象，但这也不是一个不可思议的奇观。因为，无敌拳王余和成的存在，毕竟比你们平常的魔王或天使长寿得多。
<The 0th Murim>, known only through legends being passed down. The greatest expert under the heavens in that Murim was none other than Yu Ho-Seong.
第0代穆林，只有通过传说才知道。天下最伟大的专家，莫里姆不是别人，正是余和成。
"If you're done asking your questions, get out of my sight this instant. I do not wish to look at your ugly mug any longer."
“如果你的问题问完了，马上从我眼前消失。我再也不想看你这张丑脸了。”
He was putting up the exact same act of driving away one's guests, just like in the beginning.
他正在做一个完全相同的行为，赶走客人，就像一开始一样。
"Don't you want to come with us?"
“你不想和我们一起去吗?”
"What rubbish are you spewing now?"
“你现在在吐什么垃圾?”
"I'm aware that, once the scenario on the 'Small Island' concludes, you are allowed to advance to the next one. The upcoming 'Great War of Saints and Demons' is a scenario like that, after all."
“我知道，一旦‘小岛’上的情节结束，你就可以进入下一个情节。毕竟，即将到来的《圣魔大战》(GreatWarofSaintsandDemons)就是这样一个场景。”
Yu Ho-Seong's brows greatly quivered, just then.
于和成的眉毛大大地颤动了一下，就在这时。
Even back in the original story, there was a turn where the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' took place in the Isle of Reincarnators.
即使在最初的故事中，也有一个转折点，在转世岛上发生了“圣魔大战”。
「The meeting of the 'New' and the 'Old'; a fusion scenario with the 1st generation!」
「新旧交融，与第一代融合」
Most likely, the Bureau should be busy with advertising this scenario using such slogans on the outside. Which was by design, actually. It was a scheme to use the 1st generation of Fables, only spoken through rumours and hearsay, as the focal point of the advertisement itself.
最有可能的是，该局应该忙于利用这些口号在外面宣传这种情况。事实上，这是有意为之。这是一个计划，使用第一代寓言，只通过谣言和道听途说，作为广告本身的焦点。
The thing was, though, the Bureau's scheme to make lots of moolah could also serve as an opportunity for the Forgotten who were left behind and abandoned by the passing of the eras.
然而，事情是这样的，调查局制造大量钞票的计划也可以为那些被遗忘的人提供一个机会，那些被时代遗弃的人。
