蜘蛛の糸【GIGA+1 2022.11】

深夜の教室

Late-night classroom

マッチョなスーツに身を包んだヒーロー

Hero in a red suit with beautiful muscles

目の前の光景を興奮した様子で見下している

He looks down excitedly at the scene before him

視線の先には40分の1に縮めたクラスメイトたち

Ahead of his eyes are his classmates, shrunk down to 1/40th their size

必死の形相で腕を伸ばし上へ上へ我先にとよじ登ろうとしている

They are desperately trying to climb up with their arms outstretched

彼らの直下には火にかけられた巨大な鍋

Just below them is a huge pot on the fire

たっぷりの熱湯がグラグラと沸騰している

Plenty of boiling water is wobbling and boiling

大きな口を開けて獲物が落ちてくるのを待つ地獄の釜だ

A cauldron of hell awaiting the fall of its prey, its mouth wide open

足下から舞い上がってくる耐えがたいほどの湯気と熱気

Unbearable steam and heat billowing up from under their feet

まるで蒸し器に入れられた海老のよう

It's like prawns being cook alive in a steamer

唯一の望みは上から垂らされた一本の糸

Their only hope is a single thread hanging from above

身長４センチの高校生たちはその糸に死物狂いでしがみつく

The four-centimeter high school students cling desperately to that thread

泣き叫び怒号を上げ級友を踏みつけながら

Crying and screaming, stomping on their classmates

哀れに藻掻き足掻くその様は

Struggling pitifully, their tiny limbs flailing about

蜘蛛の巣に捕らわれた虫けらそのものだ

Just like a bugs caught in a spider-web

ちゃぽん

plop

ちゃぽん

plop

力尽きた者

The one who ran out of strength

手を滑らせた者

The one who hand slipped

蹴落とされた者

The one who were kicked down

下にいた者や太っている者から順々に

Those who were on the bottom and those who were fatter and heavier

小人が次々と鍋の中に落ちていく

One after another, the tinies fall into the pot

100℃の熱湯で生きたままボイルされる地獄

The hell of being boiled alive in boiling water of 100 degrees Celsius

全身が焼けただれるような激痛に奇声をあげながら

Screaming in pain as their whole bodies burned and sore

ぼこぼこと泡立つ灼熱の海をのたうち回る

Swimming in agony and pain in the bubbling, burning sea

この苦痛から開放されたいと必死に鍋の淵へ手をかける

They desperately clutch at the edge of the pot to escape the pain

じゅうっ

sizzle

一瞬にして手のひらが灼けつく

instantly their palms burn

駄目だ　無理だ　終わりだ

Oh no. Impossible. It's over.

血液が沸騰し全身が赤く茹で上がっていく

Their blood bubbles up and their whole bodies boil red

目の玉が白く茹で上がっていく

Their eyeballs boil white

かすんだ視界の中で彼らが最後に見上げた先には巨大な

In their distorted vision, the last thing they looked up at was a giant

「親愛なる隣人」

"Friendly Neighborhood"

ヒーローは蜘蛛の糸を指先から垂らしながら

Hero hangs a spider-thread from his fingertips

目の前の光景を興奮した様子で見下していた

He looked down excitedly at the scene before him
