慎重に。
周到に。
大胆さは柄ではない。
狙ったところで得手不得手は覆せない。

大岩を担ぐことはできなくとも、
時間をかけて一粒の筋を見極める愚直さは持てる。
後悔をしない生き方は難しいが、足掻くことはできる。

開戦の音までには幾ばくかの時がある様子。
少年は、呼吸をさらに深くし、
眉間にひとつ、皺を刻んだ。

Cautiously. Thoroughly. Boldness is not my style. Just aiming high does not erase one's strengths and weaknesses. I may not be able to carry a large rock, but I am foolish enough to take the time to find and identify an opportunity. It's difficult to live without regrets, but I certainly struggle in the attempt.

There's still some time before the horn that signals the beginning of battle will blow. The young man takes even a deeper breath, his brow furrowing.
