  ワーテルローあたり
  per Waterloo
  ワーテルローあたりのお話は色々あります。ヒロインは一度人生の失敗を経験し、伯父から言われている使命を果たすことを自分の一種のマイルストーンにしているのかもと思いました。ほぼもう、解決したの？というところで、二巻に突入。何が待ち構えているのでしょうか？

  There are many stories from around Waterloo. The heroine experienced failure once in her life, and I thought that fulfilling the mission her uncle told her might be a kind of milestone for herself. Has it almost been solved yet? At that point, we rushed into volume 2. What's in store?

  若気の至り、と、そっくりさん
  The Reacher of Youth, and Lookalike
  気丈でたくましく、男性なんて、と思ってるキャロラインというヒロインの、鎧の奥にある愛情と、ご褒美があるわけでもない遺言を守る律儀さとを通じて見せる、ある種の気性の真っ直ぐさが、要所に描かれ、読み手は引き付けられる。それにしても、なぜ、というヒロインの生き方への、破天荒というか、若さゆえ？の、突っ走り、時代を考えても、スケール大きすぎる。それをカッコいいと思えばいいのだろうが、かなり大胆無謀な気がする。慎重な私は、奔放な水浴びシーンも驚いた。かつその場面も、いかにも、キャラをよく写し出している。賊に狙われ聖杯を運ぶミセス・ホプキンスと、彼女をガードしてくれる大佐との出会いから愛の芽生えまで。父娘の信頼回復と、謎だらけなヒロインの波乱万丈だったこれまでの断片的な説明、そして、大佐の愛したガブリエラを巡る身内の揉め事が引き起こした悲劇など、語ることは沢山有ったのに、二巻物の第一巻であるこの一冊に、巧く収まっている。「華麗なるデビュー」一巻二巻のシリーズ。大佐も別な意味で真っ直ぐ。そう、そんなにガブリエラを好きだったのね、と、感心、というか、ヒロインとの関係構築への壁となってくれる期待感が物語展開の面白さの１つとして二巻目へ引き継がれる。相変わらずきちんと描かれた絵で、確かなひとコマひとコマを楽しめるが、私は紙で見て、そして、スマホの画面と見比べて、スマホで見る方が、この作品の登場人物達のサイズ感の収まりが良いと感じた。

  The heroine Caroline, who thinks she is strong and strong, has a certain kind of directness of temper, shown through the love behind her armor and the discipline of keeping a will where there is no reward, is depicted at key points, and readers are attracted. Even so, why is the heroine's way of life unbelievably rough, or rather because of her youth? The scale is too big, even if you think about the times in a flash. You can probably think of that as cool, but I feel like it's pretty bold and reckless. Being careful, I was also surprised by the unbridled bathing scene. Also, that scene also shows the characters very well. From the encounter between Mrs. Hopkins, who is being targeted by thieves and carries the Holy Grail, and the colonel who guards her to the beginning of love. There was a lot to talk about, such as the restoration of trust between father and daughter, fragmentary explanations of the eventful heroine up until now, and tragedies caused by family disputes over Gabriella, whom the colonel loved, etc., but it fits nicely into this one book, which is the first volume of two volumes. “Brilliant Debut” is a series of 1 volume 2 volumes. The colonel is also straight in another sense. Yes, I liked Gabriella that much, and the feeling of admiration, or rather, the sense of expectation that becomes a barrier to building relationships with the heroine is carried over to the second volume as one of the interesting aspects of the story development. It's still a properly drawn picture, and you can enjoy each frame with certainty, but I felt that the size of the characters in this work fits better when I look at it on paper, compare it with a smartphone screen, and look at it with a smartphone.
