Study of Re:CREATORS 21: Lecture 5 continued

Lecture 5 continued

“What did you say?”
“No, no. This is life. You never know what’ll happen. For example, your spear. You might get stabbed by that, instead of by me. That would be funny. Don’t you think so? Would you be surprised?”
“I shall not die at the hands of one who spouts nonsense! You buffoon!”
“A lie about a lie. It turns inside-out on itself.”
The girl lets her opponent speak the negation of negation.
It seems some kind of magical manipulation is administered by the girl.
But Alicetaria is rescued by the intervention of Selesia Upitilia.
Magane cries, “Oh, oh, who is it now?”
Meteora introduces herself, “A creation, just like you.”
Selesia asks, “You killed someone, didn’t you?”
Magane answers, “Why do you ask? Is it any of your business?”
Alicetaria insists, “I have unsettled business with that piece of rubbish. Step aside.”
“No matter who she is, I can’t have you raise a commotion. And you are in no position to pass judgement on her.”
“She is like poison. If we leave her alone, she’ll spread death to everyone around her.”
“I agree with that, but the person who is spreading death the most is your boss.”

Magical girl Mamika remarks.
“Wait! I’ve been thinking about it. About what the Military Uniform Princess said and about what you said. Who should I believe? I couldn’t find the answer. But there is one thing I know for sure! We don’t need to hurt each other!”
Meteora responds, “Just like you say. There’s no reason for us to fight. However, that is precisely what the Military Uniform Princess wants. As long as you are acting according to her machinations, then we must act in order to stop you.”

Alicetaria says, “You must be the seeker of a Thousand Miles. Are you claiming that the Military Uniform Princess has been deceiving us?”
Here, “Banri” must be translated “a Thousand truths” not “a Thousand Miles”.
In many Japanese homonyms that are pronounced “Ri”, there is a word meaning “Mile” and also a word meaning “Truth”.

Meteora answers, saying, “Changing the world isn’t as easy as she says.”
Alicetaria insists, “This is the home of the gods who created my world. How can that be?”
Meteora interrogates, “Ms. Knight, do you think that the gods of this land are all-powerful?”
“Of course. Those who created the world are gods. Miracles happen because of the gods. It is unthinkable that creation would be impossible.”
“There is a critical flaw in your understanding… I want you to think about it. Are the people you see in this world really all-powerful? They do have the power to create worlds. However, just like us, they live in a world with various limitations and hardships. They are neither immortal, …”

There is a big difference of God image between Middle Ages and Modern time. We can imagine a creator who is not omniscient and omnipotent but has limited powers.
