Turnover Game

私一人居なくなっても
誰も涙流さないでしょ
嫌い嫌い　こんな世界早く終わっちゃえよ
一人握るコントローラー
仮想世界”聖終ラグナ”へ
画面映る　もう一人の私は微笑んだ

watashi hitori inaku nattemo
daremo namida nagasanai desho
kirai kirai konna sekai hayaku owatchae yo
hitori nigiru kontorooraa
kasou sekai ”yume no geemu” e
gamen utsuru mou hitori no watashi wa hohoenda

Even if I were gone, that'd just be one person fewer,
and I'm sure no one would shed a single tear for me.
I hate this. Hate this. This world can just blow up, for all I care.
Thus I clutch onto my controller
and flee into the virtual world of “Holy Demise Lagna,” my dream game.
On the screen, the other me smiled at me.

現実から解き放たれた
モニター越し この私に
誰もが手を伸ばした

riaru kara tokihanatareta
monitaagoshi kono watashi ni
daremoga te o nobashita

Freed from the restraints of reality,
I'm now on the other side of the monitor,
and everyone is looking to me for help.

叶えて私のヴァルキュリア
ゲームの中では勇敢な
画面の向こうの私の輝く笑顔憎らしい
誰もが羨む素敵な私
わがままもっと言えるなら
「現実の私と交換してよ」
呟いて目を閉じた

kanaete watashi no varukyuria
geemu no naka de wa yuukan na
gamen no mukou no watashi no kagayaku egao nikurashii
daremoga urayamu suteki na watashi
wagamama motto ieru nara
“riaru no watashi to koukan shite yo”
tsubuyaite me o tojita

Grant my wish, my Valkyria.
I can't stand that bright and cheerful smile
of my heroic alter ego on the other side of the screen, inside the game.
My amazing alter ego that everyone envies.
If I may be a little more greedy, I'd say:
“Switch places with me in reality.”
So I mumbled as I closed my eyes.

瞼 開く気付くとそこに
0と1の文字が浮かんだ
白い世界
目の前には見慣れたその姿
いつも見てた笑顔で告げる
「こんな世界もう嫌でしょう？」
「替えてあげる」
もう一人の私が微笑んだ

mabuta hiraku kizuku to soko ni
zero to ichi no moji ga ukanda
shiroi sekai
me no mae ni wa minareta sono sugata
itsumo miteta egao de tsugeru
“konna sekai mou iya deshou?”
“kaete ageru”
mou hitori no watashi ga hohoenda

Upon reopening my eyes and becoming aware of my surroundings,
I found all of these 0 and 1 characters floating about.
A pure-white world.
And in front of me was that familiar figure.
She said to me, with the same old smile:
“You've had enough of this world, right?”
“Very well, I shall take your place.”
My alter ego smiled.

現実から逃げ出せるんだ
愚かな私は　笑顔の裏に
気付けない

riaru kara nigedaserun da
oroka na watashi wa egao no ura ni
kizukenai

I can escape from reality.
How stupid was I, for not noticing
what lies behind that smile.

今から私がヴァルキュリア
ゲームという名の現実で
私に足りないものなんて
もう何一つ無いはずだ
誰もが羨む素敵な私
その本物になれたのに
画面の向こうの彼女は何故か
輝いたあの笑顔

ima kara watashi ga varukyuria
geemu to iu na no genjitsu de
watashi ni tarinai mono nante
mou nani hitotsu nai hazu da
daremoga urayamu suteki na watashi
sono honmono ni nareta noni
gamen no mukou no kanojo wa nazeka
kagayaita ano egao

From this moment, I am Valkyria,
living the reality inside this game.
There should be nothing
lacking in me now.
I've been able to become the real,
amazing version of myself that everyone envies,
and yet, for some reason, I find her on the other side of the screen,
smiling that same bright and cheerful smile.

現実の私の身体で
誰も彼も　赤く染める　狂った彼女がいた
なぜなの

riaru no watashi no karada de
daremo karemo akaku someru kurutta watashi ga ita
naze nano

In the body of myself in reality,
she—as me myself—went berserk, staining everyone in red.
Why did it turn out this way?

やめてよ私のヴァルキュリア
ゲームの中とは違うんだ
再起動なんてできない
死んだらそれで終わりなの
せめて一人でも救えるのなら
聞いてよ最期わがままを
聖剣両手に突き刺す身体

yamete yo watashi no varukyuria
geemu no naka to wa chigaun da
risutaato nante dekinai
shindara sore de owari nano
semete hitori demo sukueru no nara
kiite yo saigo wagamama o
seiken ryoute ni tsukisasu karada

Please stop, my Valkyria.
It's not the same as inside the game.
I can't hit restart.
Once someone dies, that'd be the end of it.
If I could save even just one person,
then please, listen to my last selfish request.
With both hands, I plunge the holy sword deep into my body.

「さよならねヴァルキュリア」

“sayonara ne varukyuria”

“Goodbye, Valkyria.”
