必ず当る超局所的天気予報!

A Super Accurate Extreme Local Weather Forecast!

何故か苦情も…

With Complaints for Some Reason...

人間の里で天気予報の押し売りの噂が広まっている。聞いてもいないのに今日の天気を教えて回る怪人が居るという内容だ。噂では、その怪人に今日の天気を言われると、間違い無くその天気になるという。不思議な事に、本人がその場所に留まらず、別の場所に行ってもその天気になってしまうらしい。

A rumor of a pushy weather forecast is spreading at the human village. A suspicious woman walking around telling people today's weather without being asked, is its content. The Rumor says, when you are told the weather by her, it would always be that weather without a doubt. Strangely, it is said that the weather changes even if she doesn't stay there and goes somewhere else.

実は記者である私は、その噂に出てくる怪人に心当たりがあったので当人に確認を取ったところ、あっさりと自分の仕業である事と認めた。

As a matter of fact, I the writer, had a clue on the woman who appears in this rumor. So I went to her to confirm it and she admitted it was her doing without any hesitation.

「天界は退屈なのよねぇ。性格診断でもしていれば少しでも役に立てられるかと思って」

"Heaven is a boring place you know. I thought that if I make attempts like a personality assessment, I would be serviceable in some sense."

そう言ったのは件の怪人、比那名居天子さん(天人)だ。彼女曰く、天気予報では無く性格診断だという。

This was spoken by the suspicious woman in question here, Tenshi Hinanawi (Celestial). According to her, it was not a weather forecast but a personality assessment.

「昔から、雨男、晴れ女なんて言うでしょ? その人間が居ると雨になりやすいとか晴れやすいとか……。人間が天気を操る事もあるのよ。私にはそれが見えるの。だから性格診断イコール天気予報になってしまうのよ」

"Don't you know the old saying rain-bringman and sun-bringwoman?"[1]. It happens to rain or brings out the sun when they're there, sort of ... Likewise, even humans can manipulate the weather. And I can see them. Hence my personality assessment is an equivalent to weather forecast."

しかし、何故か苦情も多い。自分の周りだけ豪雨になっていたり、夏なのに雪が降ったり普通では考えられない天気になる事も有り、噂では〝天気予報〝ではなく〝天気操作〝による嫌がらせでは無いかとの疑念を抱いている者もいる。

But for some reason, she receives a number of complaints. Someone had a heavy rain storm only happening around them, and the others having extraordinary weather like snowing in the summer. The rumor even tells us that several people started to doubt that they were being teased by not a "weather forecast" but a "weather manipulation".

「操作なんかしてないわよ。その人の気質が天気になっている事は間違い無いんだしー。でも、人の能力を疑ったりする人間がいるとつい意地になっちゃうのよねぇ。その時は強制的に天気を発現させてやるわ」

"I'm not making any manipulations. No doubt that their spirit is made into weather eh-. But, when a human doubts my ability, I just happen to get nasty you know. In that case I'll surface their weather with force."

雨男や晴れ女など、迷信だと思っている人間も多い。しかし、いつも肝心な時に雨になりやすい、この人を呼べば晴れる、等といった経験は誰しもあるだろう。それは人間の気質(本質的な意味での性格、生まれ持った物)から発現する事もあり、決して偶然では無いのだという。

Many humans believe that such rain-bringman or sun-bringwoman is just a superstition. However, every person must experienced the times when you want to call such people to stop the seriously-unwanted rain and bring back the sun. This is caused by the surfacing from the human spirit (Essentially, your personality, the thing that you're born with), so it is said not to be a coincidence for sure.

私は、雨男と晴れ女のカップルを見つけたら彼女に性格診断して頂きたいと思っている。

I want her to make a personality assessment on the couple of rain-bringman and sun-bringwoman if I came across them.
