[放牢王]ホーネット [Habitual King] Hornet
唐突に浴びせ掛けられる多量の水が殴られた傷に滲み入り、蹴られた腹の痛みが後からゆっくり脳へと伝わる。やがて腫れた片目を僅かに開けば、其処はいつもの牢獄であった。光は少なく、蟲は這い、酷い匂いが立ち込める。そして遮る鉄の格子の先に、ホーネットは彼女の姿を見た。冷たく、全てを射殺す目。格子に手を掛け、震える足で彼は立つ。そして如何なる慈悲も持たぬ彼女、つまりは母の顔へと、勢い、唾を吐き掛ける。それでも決して届かぬと、心は知っていようとも。
Suddenly he got poured over with a bucketful of water, which made his bruises smart and slowly brought back to his brain the pain of kicks he had received in his stomach. Slightly opening one of his swollen eyes, he found himself in his same cell―light scarce, bugs crawling, stench all around. And then, looking through the iron bars, he saw a woman, her eyes ice-cold and all-piercing. He staggered to his feet as he grabbed the bars, and impulsively spat at her―his own mother, a totally unmerciful woman―even though knowing inside that she was way out of reach.
チッ……傷が開きやがった
My bruise opened
ようこそ屑の掃き溜めへ
Welcome to a dump of waste
悪ぃが一人で死んでくれや
Die for me
[放浪王]ホーネット [Wandering King] Hornet
その首に多額の懸賞金が掛けられた青年、ホーネット。帝国より課せられたその鎖を、しかし彼は微塵も物ともせず、或いは更に上乗せするべく今日も今日とて破壊活動に勤しんでいる。支部基地の破壊、帝国式機械龍の討伐、更には士官の暗殺など、その活動には枚挙のいとまが無く、ゆえに今、彼の懸賞金額はかつて帝国を脅かした伝説の戦争屋に次ぐ程に達していた。それはいわば釣り針。やがて故郷の帝国と、そして己の母を釣り上げる、大きく歪に曲がった針。
Hornet left a trail of destruction that included a destroyed base and Robo Dragon, and a dead army officer. His bounty grew by the day. But Hornet simply did this to bait and reel in the Empire he grew up in, as well as his own mother.
こいつぁ随分大物だな
This guy's quite a big fish
ハッ……傷が疼きやがる
My bruise smarts
悪ぃが逃す気なんざ毛頭無ぇ
I ain't missed ya
