I’m reading along
I had already finished this part before the thread was posted
Wow, that was quite a chapter. Couple of things I noticed:
p.102
This is the second time that we’ve had out main character introducing herself, and I noticed that her lines are eerily similar to those of p. 69 in the cinema. Additionally, she doesn’t actually introduce herself by name, which I thought was weird. I think I was reading chapter 3 to quickly to catch it, but she says she’s a temporary investigator for the Ushimitsu research institute. Which is the last name that we saw for her. It could still be that she’s the last descendent of the Ushimatsu family and works in the family business, but I’m seeing more and more clues that she’s not a normal human.
p.108
I didn’t get all the details from the man’s recording last week, between the subject matter and the type of speech. Considering that we’re getting a repeat of the message here - with the last part that was interrupted previously - I think I’ll have to do an actual line by line translation to try and get all the nuances. I’ll post it here when I get around to it.
p.109
Great use of Claudia’s android features to make it look like she’s crying. Very clever bit of design.
I know you wanted specifically the 伝わりやしない part, but let me break down the entire thing for future reference
機械の君 - an android like you
には - basically “for” (an android like you)
どうしたって - set phrase, (no matter what)
伝わり - I’d like to call this “getting across”
やしない - set phrase for “will not”
だろう - probably
けれど - however
For an android like you, it will not get across, however…
Or in English:
An android like you won’t get it, but…
And the second part is
でも - but
ちゃんと - properly
言葉にして - to put into words
ておこう - standard “do something for someone else” meaning of teoku
と思う - I think
“But I think I’ll properly put it into words for you”
