Th-Those frightful snouts...tusks like unto spears...and the squealing! That dreadful squealing, a death hymn that haunts my dreams each night... Why, oh why, did I ever leave home to come here?
- JA そこの冒険者、ひとつ雑用を引き受けてくれないか。 ‘You there, adventurer, would you take on a chore for me?’ English has Piralnaut babble in terror about boars; Japanese has him calmly ask for help with a chore.
...Ahem. Hail, adventurer! Your sharp-eyed mien tells me you're keen to prove yourself, and─to your good fortune─I've a, uh, menial task ideal for one of your fair-to-middling abilities. Wild boars plague the Bramble Patch, and it's about time that someone culled the herd. Well? Hop to it, now.
- FR J'ai justement une tâche à la hauteur de tes capacités à te confier. ‘I have just the task suited to your abilities to entrust to you.’ English slights your "fair-to-middling abilities"; French simply says the task suits your abilities.
- FR Ne t'en fais pas, ils ne sont pas aussi dangereux qu'ils en ont l'air ! ‘Don't worry, they're not as dangerous as they look!’ English just tells you to hop to it; French reassures you the boars are not as dangerous as they look.
Report to Piralnaut.

P-Please, you have my vow! I shall wear boarskin armor no more! I will starve before I partake in the tiniest morsel of salted pork! Just make them go away!
- JA 倒してきてくれたか、助かった。 ‘You've defeated them for me? What a help.’ English has Piralnaut swear off boarskin in terror; Japanese calmly thanks you for defeating them.
- JA ここジョスラン監視哨は霊災直後に建てられたもの。 ‘This outpost, Josselin's Spire, was built right after the Calamity.’ English swears off salted pork; Japanese explains the outpost was built right after the Calamity.
...Wh-What? The swine plague the Bramble Patch no more? Oh, thank you, friend. To speak the truth of it, I have been plagued by a dreadful phobia of those tusked monstrosities in recent weeks.
- JA もとから建設計画はあったのだが、ホウソーン家の山塞に新型エーテライトが設置され、流通や軍事の要として、重要な拠点となったのだ。 ‘There had been construction plans from the start, but a new-model aetheryte was installed at the Hawthorne family's hut, and it became an important base as a hub of trade and military.’ English has Piralnaut confess a phobia of boars; Japanese explains the outpost became important after a new aetheryte.
But I realize this will not do. Josselin's Spire overlooks a hub of trade and military activity, and to shirk my duties would be a dishonor to the hero whose name the spire bears. You have instilled no small measure of courage in me today, friend, and for this I am grateful.
