男は金色の砂に伏せたまま、動かない。

A man laid on the golden sand, unable to move.

汗の粒が額、鼻、首、脇、足から湧き出し、体の所々が痒くて仕方がない。

Even through clothes, the sand was so hot to the touch, it was burning his skin.

The man tried his best to focus, so he wouldn’t faint from all the heat and pain.

こういう時、彼はいつも「鷹」の言葉を思い出す——

彼らのような者が朝廷の兵に捕まると、胸元に烙印を押される。

At this time, he always remembered what the「Eagle」 once said:

If people like them were caught by imperial officers and soldiers, their chests would be branded with a red branding iron.

-

烙印は砂よりも硬く、太陽よりも熱い。皮膚に触れるとすぐにくっつき、剥がす時は皮膚も一緒に剥がされる。

A branding iron was harder than sand and hotter than the sun. Once it touches the skin, it will melt a layer of skin and leave a brand.

That feeling,「Eagle」said: it's like going to hell.

金砂会の構成員たちはよく地獄を口にする、[\s]なにせ彼らはそこで再会する運命なのだ。

Golden Sand gang members often speaked of hell, after all they were destined to meet again there.

地獄の中は不気味で恐ろしく、そして退屈だ。金も酒もなく、美人もいない。

Hell is a scary place and it’s boring; there’s no gold or silver, no good wine, no beautiful women.

しかしここで、今日の「商売」が成功すれば、欲しいものは何でも手に入れられる。

But here, as long as they succeed in today's raid, they will have whatever they want.

-

今回の「商売」は今までよりも大きいと、「鷹」が信頼できる情報を掴んだのだ。

+

This caravan was said to be larger than ones before, and the「Eagle」had received absolutely reliable information.

-

遠方から来た隊商は貴族の家族を連れており、金銀財宝をたくさん持っているらしい。

+

The caravan from far away brought the families of the rich and nobles, and the car was full of gold and silver treasures.

その情報に間違いがなければ、あと30分で全部手に入れられる筈だ。

If the information was correct, in 30 minutes, all of these would belong to them.

彼は遠方を眺めている。まるで獲物を見つめているかのようだ。

He was actually younger, but not too young. Looking at the whole face at a glance, only the eyes stood out: those were the eyes of an eagle.

He looked into the distance, as if hunting for his prey.

「鷹」の命令に従えば、返ってくるのは——

There was no need to question, no promises,

突如、男の顔に笑みが浮かび、

The men who had been in ambush for a long time were relieved, the most difficult stage had passed.

From the outside, the coffin was completely sealed with no gaps present.

Several black leather straps were wrapped around the body of the coffin and bound it firmly.

A man with blond hair and green eyes knelt next to the coffin on one knee, sliding his slender fingers across the coffin's surface.

His movements were as soft as if caressing, but as if he had exhausted all his strength.

This person made the coffin with his own hands, so that the contents of the coffin were isolated from the world.
