|
魔法の森の入り口で営業している道具屋、香霖堂の店主である。 |
He is the owner of Kourindou, an antique store established at the entrance of the Forest of Magic. |
|
香霖堂には他の店員は居ない。 |
There are no other shop clerks at Kourindou. |
|
彼は、正確に言うと人間ではなく、人間と妖怪のハーフである。 |
He is not exactly human, but rather a half-human, half-youkai. |
|
人間よりも長寿だが、鍛えてない為か余り強くない。 |
Even though he lives for longer than a human, he is not very strong, probably due to lack of training. |
|
過去に道具屋の最大手である霧雨家で働いていたが、自分の能力を生かすには普通の道具屋では駄目だ、誰も使い道が判らなくて困っている様な道具を扱う必要がある、と考え独立した。 |
In the past, he worked at the Kirisame family's antique store, but he started a store on his own, believing that in order to make the most of his ability, he shouldn't just handle normal items, and he needed to deal with ones that nobody would know how to use. |
|
誰も使い道が判らなくて困っている様な道具、 つまり外の世界の道具である。 |
Items that nobody would know how to use, meaning items from the outside world. |
|
彼の性格は、博識だが一人で考え込みがちで店から出たがらず、お客に対しても冷たく当たる。 |
Although he is very knowledgeable, he is prone to pondering all by himself and not leaving the shop, as well as being cold even towards customers. |
|
お世辞にも商売向きな性格ではない。 |
Not a suitable attitude for conducting business. |
|
能力 |
Ability |
|
道具の名前と用途が判る能力を持っている。 |
He has the ability to know the name and purpose of an item. |
|
初めて見た道具であっても、見ただけで名前が思い浮かび、名前を口に出しただけでどういう用途に使うのかが想像できるという。 |
Even if it is an object he is seeing for the first time, just by looking at it, its name comes to his mind, and just by saying this name, he can imagine what the object's purpose is. |
|
非常に道具屋向きな能力だが、一つだけ致命的な欠点がある。 |
Although this is an extremely suitable ability for an antique dealer, it does have one fatal weakness. |
|
それは、道具の使用法までは判らない事だ。 |
He is unable to determine the use of an item. |
|
その為、香霖堂で入手出来る道具の殆どが、自分で使用法を調べなければならない（＊１）。 |
Because of that, you must find out for yourself how to use of most items obtained at Kourindou (*1). |
|
それでも一部の道具は使用法も判り、普通に使いこなせている物もある。 |
But even so, there are some objects whose manner of use can be understood and operated. |
|
使いこなせれば、外の世界の高い技術の恩恵を受ける事が出来るのだが、使いこなせた道具の殆どを、彼は非売品にしてしまう。 |
By using those, one can be benefit from the skilled crafts of the outside world, but he refuses to sell most of the useable items. |
|
つまり、自分だけが外の世界の高い技術の恩恵を受けているのだ。 |
Basically, he is the only one benefitting from the higher technology of the outside world. |
|
これほど商売向きじゃない店主も居ないが外の世界の道具を扱っている店は香霖堂しかないので、それなりに常連も居るという。 |
Even though there's hardly a shop owner more unsuited to business, Kourindou still is the only shop that deals with outside world items, and because of this, it has its regular customers. |
|
香霖堂 |
Kourindou |
|
魔法の森を背に、ごちゃごちゃとして落ち着きのない異国風の建物が建っている。 |
Just beside the Forest of Magic, there is a disheveled and unsightly foreign-style building. |
|
それが香霖堂である。 |
That is Kourindou. |
|
日用品よりも、外の世界の道具や、妖怪の道具、冥界の道具、そういった物を扱っている店である。 |
Rather than daily necessities, the items dealt with in this shop are outside world tools, youkai items, and articles from the netherworld. |
|
香霖堂は、人間、妖怪共に拒む事はなく、誰でも利用出来る。 |
At Kourindou, neither humans or youkai are ever refused, so anyone can frequent. |
|
店内は倉庫としか思えない程、物が多く、無造作に置かれている。 |
The store's interior, full of randomly scattered articles, can only be thought of as some kind of warehouse. |
|
並べられている道具が一体何なのか判らない物だらけなので、気になったら店主に尋ねるしかない。 |
Since the items are not ordered − just a lot of unidentified items everywhere − if something interests you, all you can do is inquire the shop owner about it. |
|
値段も書いてなく、相場も判らないので店の言いなりになるのには気を付けよう。 |
There are no prices listed either, and no way to know the market value so beware as you're at the store's mercy. |
|
店の奥にはそこそこ大きな倉庫があり、そこに眠っている道具の殆どが非売品である。 |
There is a large storeroom inside the store, and most of the items lying there are not for sale. |
|
便利だったりお気に入りの道具は非売品にするという、商売する気が有るのか判らない（＊２）のも香霖堂の特徴だ。 |
Keeping the items most useful or most liked by him out-of-sale − and making one wonder if he really has any business spirit at all (*2). − is one of the features of Kourindou and its owner. |

むしろ暑い位だが、それはこのストーブのお陰だ。 |
Actually, it's even hot, and that's thanks to this heater. |
