  そんなことあるかい、と思ったら終わりの話
  It's the end of the story when I wonder if such a thing exists
  いくらイヤでも、思いつきがすごすぎる。そして、実行に移される、というほんとにあったらどうなるだろうとのストーリーへの好奇心を優先したような展開。ヒロインのピンチに対して運命の女神が微笑み続けてくれた。ヒロインが言い放ってしまった、戦争で戦って来た人を巡る皮相的な言葉は、目の前の人がまさか戦場から帰ってきたとはつゆ知らなかったにせよ、安易だった。しかし、そこで彼が返す言葉で状況を悟る素直さ柔軟さが、ヒロインの最大の良いところであって、ストーリー進行と共に、多面的な考えに広がり出し、短期間に見違えるほど成長しており、そしてそのままそれが彼の正体を知ったときの冷静な振り返りにと繋がる。想い出の小屋は、最終的には本当の新居ではないと思うのだが、ついに猟番の小屋しか出なかったなと思う(勿論お話には必要性が無いことだから、まさしく、 無くてもいいものなのだが、単純な覗き見趣味から、彼の本当の家は別にあるんでしょうから、せめてあとがきででも、ヴィジュアル化して見せてくれないかしら、と期待してしまった)。ヒロインの結婚観は心底同情が行くが、行動力と、現実に動ける範囲の狭さとにギャップがあるのが、もっと気の毒だし、なんだか悲しい。そして、彼がヒロインの痛々しい跡を見てその結婚観に夢が持てない彼女の事情を思いやるシーンが、これまでのヒロインの無謀とも言える行動の裏付けとなるのが辛かった。いろいろなことを、相手や周りの事を、よく思い巡らせるようになったヒロインの変化が、ストーリーを引き締めている。そして、見初めてくれた人を忘れたのがヒドイ、みたいに彼は感じたか知れないが、そんなことは年頃の女の子には比較的あることだと思うし、むしろ、嫌いでなかったのが不幸中の幸いだ。母親も兄も、ヒロインを庇えてこなかったことへの苛立ちが、読み手の私に残った。

  No matter how much I hate it, my idea is too amazing. Then, the development seemed to prioritize curiosity about the story about what would happen if it actually happened to be put into action. The goddess of fate kept smiling at the heroine's pinch. The rhetoric about people who have fought in the war that the heroine had uttered was easy, even though she didn't know why the person in front of her had just returned from the battlefield. However, the honesty and flexibility of understanding the situation with the words he returns there is the heroine's greatest strength, and as the story progresses, it spreads to multifaceted thoughts, grows to the point of being mistaken in a short period of time, and as it is, it leads to a sober reflection when he knows his true identity. In the end, I don't think the hut I remember was actually a new house, but at last I think only the hunting hut came up (of course, there's no need for the story, so it's exactly something you don't need to do, but from a simple peek hobby, I was hoping that his real house was different, so I was wondering if they would at least show it in a visual afterword). I really sympathize with the heroine's view of marriage, but it's even more unfortunate that there is a gap between her ability to act and the narrow range within which she can move in reality, and it's kind of sad. Also, it was difficult for the scene where he saw the heroine's painful footprints and thought about her circumstances and had no dreams about her view of marriage to confirm the heroine's reckless behavior up until now. The story is tightened by the changes in the heroine, who has come to think a lot about various things, her partner, and her surroundings. Also, he may have felt that it was terrible to forget the person who saw him for the first time, but I think that is relatively common among girls around his age, and rather, it is a blessing in his misfortune that he didn't like it. As a reader, I was still frustrated by the fact that neither my mother nor my older brother protected the heroine.

  ヒーローが一途
  Heroes go all the way
  婚約者の彼女を想い、何とか生き延びて戦地から戻って来たのに、彼女の方は彼の事を全く覚えていないわ、結婚が嫌で偽装誘拐を企てるわで…。彼が不憫でしょうがないしかし、奔放でワガママなヒロインも、懐くとカワイイ憎めないキャラなので許せちゃう結婚に夢も希望も見いだせなかった彼女も、最愛の人と結ばれてヨカッタヨカッタ

  I thought about my fiancé's girlfriend, and even though she somehow survived and came back from the battlefield, she doesn't remember him at all; she doesn't like getting married and is plotting a fake kidnapping... I don't think he's sorry, but the heroine who is unbridled and selfish, and her girlfriend can't find any dreams or hopes in a marriage she can forgive because she's a nostalgic, cute, and unhated character, is tied to someone she loves and is Yokatta Yokatta
