When Metatron found that Beelzebub was fall asleep on the sofa,
he just sighed and turned off TV,
taking out a blanket to cover the lord of flies' gigantic body.
"Don't you think you wouldn't catch a cold, pal." The archangel whispered.

以下正文:
別西卜感冒了,連他自己都不敢相信。
Beelzebub caught a cold, even he himself couldn't believe it.
蠅王裹著厚厚的毛毯窩在沙發上,溫度計還含在他巨大的口器裡。雖然一直搞不清楚自己的呼吸器官在臉上哪個地方,但他真的感覺到前所未有的嚴重鼻塞。喉嚨的腫痛迫使他惱怒地嚥了下口水。
The Lord of Flies was sitting on the sofa with his body wrapped in a thick blanket, and the clinical thermometer was still holding in his mouthpart. Even though Beelzebub always wonder where his own nostrils are, the awful breath-stuffy was surely exists and became a great disturbance. The sore throat made him swallowed his own drool annoyingly.
「難道沒有一種說法是魔王都不會感冒的嗎?」當他的室友將別西卜含著的溫度計抽走時,他終於忍不住牢騷道。
"Isn't there any conception claimed that Devils are immunocold?" Beelzebub couldn't help but grumbled as his roommate took away the thermometer from his mouthpart.
「據我所知,只有某種特定的存在才不會感冒,你應該慶幸自己並不算在內。」梅塔特隆端詳了溫度計一會兒,「沒發燒,不過呼吸道症狀滿嚴重的,不看醫生?」他的碧綠眼瞳盯著轉過頭去假裝沒聽到的蠅王。
"As far as I know, there's only a sort of certain being can apply to this so-called immunocold. You should be glad that you don't belong to this sort." Metatron said, as he scrutinized the clinical thermometer for a while. "No fever, but the symptoms of respiratory tract are quite acute. Sure that you don't need a doctor?" His emerald optics stared at the archdevil, who just turned his head away, pretending unnoticed what he said.
「區區小感冒而已,看什麼醫生。」別西卜咕噥道,又打了個噴嚏。
唯一神雅威的首席天使長直接轉過身去撥電話:「我沒有那麼多閒功夫留下來照顧你,好自為之吧。」
別西卜想起身衝去搶過話筒,卻發現自己早被室友設下的咒縛綁得動彈不得。
"It's just a cold, no big deal and no need for calling a doctor." Beelzebub's grunt was soon interrupted by another sneeze.
The archangel turned to reach the phone immediately, dialing a number and said, "I have no much time to attend you, just take care of yourself."
Beelzebub attempts to rose and intercept the receiver, but found that he was restrained by the spell his roommate cast and couldn't even move an inch.
托特撳了撳門鈴,屋內傳來沉重而不甘願的腳步聲。砰地門被拉開,一顆巨大的蒼蠅頭從門口探出來瞪著托特矮小的狒狒身影。
書記神仰頭打量了別西卜一番,「應該是著涼引起的感冒,開個藥就好。不介意我進去?」
After rang the doorbell, Thoth heard heavy and reluctant footsteps inside the room was approaching the door. Soon the door was slammed open, a gigantic head of fly sticking out from the doorway and stared at the tiny figure of the baboon.
The Egyptian deity of scribe sized up Beelzebub for a moment and said, "You are just chilled, it would be OK to take some medicine. Wouldn't you mind if I get in?"
蠅王紅燈籠般的複眼閃爍了一下:「可以不要吃藥嗎?」
Lord of Flies' bloody-red-lantern-like ommateums blinked. "Can I pass up the medicine?"
「你要改換打針也行。這年頭就這麼些選項,不是打針就吃藥,沒得挑。」托特拎起擱在地上的藥箱說:「我可以進去嗎?受你室友之託,我可不想白跑一趟。」
"…Or injection would also be available." Thoth shrugged." There are only two options you can choose nowadays: injection or medicine, no other alternatives." Thoth lifted the medical case on the floor and asked, "May I come in? For I'm here to do your roommate's favor, I would not like to come here just for doing nothing."
別西卜老大不情願地開了門,他重新包著毯子窩回沙發上,讓托特爬上自己身旁再仔細診斷。「真丟人,堂堂一個大魔王竟然也會敗在小傷風底下。」他抽出衛生紙用力擤鼻水,身後透明的巨大薄翅隨之震顫。
Beelzebub let the door wide open in great reluctance, he wrapped the blanket with himself and sit back to the sofa again, allowing Thoth to sit nearby for further diagnosis. "What a shame this is, a powerful devil is absolutely overwhelmed by simply a little cold." He took a tissue and blowed loudly, with his wide half-transparent wings trembling.
「是嗎?這陣子掛病號的神明可還不少,」托特說,「你沒聽說蘇爾特前幾天才得了重感冒?我還去探過他的病呢!」
蠅王不由得直了身子,「怎麼可能!那傢伙竟然也會感冒?」
書記神邊開藥方邊答道:「這其中是有緣由的,那大老粗偷了奥丁珍藏的蜜酒喝個爛醉,結果竟然跑去調戲蒂雅瑪特!你能想像嗎?那個鹹水老女人!」
"Yeah? There are couple of deities under ill conditions recently." Thoth said, "Haven't you heard that Surtr caught a deadly serious cold few days ago? I have visited him for his illness."
Beelzebub straightened his body in astonishment, "Impossible! How could Jötnar catch a cold?"
The deity of scribe was busy at writing out a prescription as he replied, "Well, there's a long story to tell. The rough chap stole Odin's cherished mead and got awfully drunk. Guess what? He went to molest Tiamat! Can you imagine that? With that saline old femme?"
如果別西卜現在的形體允許翻白眼的話,他老早就這麼做了。不過蒼蠅不能翻白眼,所以他只好低低大笑兩聲,道:「就憑蘇爾特那種沒程度的品味,難怪他會挑上這種貨色。」
If Beelzebub's present form allowed him to roll his eyes, he definitely would did so; but he couldn't. Thus he just grunted in laughter and commented, "To judge by Surtr's vulgar taste, no wonder he would pick her."
托特抬頭一臉認真看著自己的病人:「蒂雅瑪特雖然不美,她的身材之壯觀可是數一數二的,蘇爾特會找上她倒不意外。」他繼續道:「之後的發展可想而知囉,那個渾沌女人使出前所未有的冰結咒文狠狠教訓了他一頓,還放話嗆說穆斯貝爾海姆的野蠻人沒資格碰她一根毛。蒂雅瑪特施展的咒語裡包藏了對那渾球的憤怒,只讓他感冒還算便宜這老粗呢。」
Thoth looked at his patient gravely, "Though Tiamat is far from beautiful, her shape is full of outstanding brilliance among other goddesses. It's not surprising that Surtr chose her." He continued, "So the result is easy to figure out: that chaos-woman smote him with fierce ice attack spell, shouting that savages of Muspellheim are in no position to even touch her one hair. The spell of Tiamat cast was filled with offended rage toward that giant jerk, it's a great mercy for just left him caught a cold."
別西卜想了想,說:「要講的話,愛瑟神族的防盜技術也真差勁,之前托爾的槌子被偷還不夠讓他們警惕嗎?」
Beelzebub thought for seconds and asked,"On the other hand, I'm curious about the quality of Æsir's burglarproof techniques. Didn't the case of Thor's stolen Mjöllnir teach them the lesson?"
托特攤手,「誰知道呢?說不定這也是奥丁老千故意留的一手,他大概希望能的話就盡量拖延諸神黃昏吧。所以,」書記神意味深長地望向別西卜,「和蘇爾特比起來,你只單純因為看電視看到睡著而著涼可真是輕鬆愉快啊。」
Thoth shrugged again, "Well, who knows? Perhaps this was just another conspiracy masterminded by Odin, for he was trying to delay the coming of Ragnarök. And so..."he gazed at Beelzebub meaningfully. "Compared to the old jerk Surtr, your catch-cold case of being just fell asleep on the sofa while watching TV, might be joyfully a piece of cake."
蠅王霎時覺得臉上紅熱一陣,會是發燒的關係嗎?他很懷疑為什麼行事一板一眼的梅塔會和這個八卦嚼舌根老猴廝混在一起。
Lord of Flies felt his face blushes, is it because of the fever? He doubted that why a Divinity who conducted himself with serious dignity as Metatron is, would have a friendship with such a gossip banboo guy.
托特配好藥帖,連同服藥指示遞給還在思索的蠅王,道:「都寫在上面了,好好按時吃吧,包你好得快。要不是我常和梅塔一同討論書記的工作熟,還真沒那麼多閒功夫同你看診哈拉。走啦,保重啊。」
Thoth handed the packed medicine and instructions to Beelzebub, who was still pondering, and said,"All the details are written on the instructions, take the medicine as what it said can vouch for fast recovery. If it were not Metatron and I often discuss about our scribe works and to be friends, I would not allow myself wasting my free time to provide physician service to you and gossip. Gotta go, take care."
「多謝,不送。」別西卜咕噥,心裡想著自己的室友今天要加班到幾時才會回來。
"Thanks a lot." Beelzebub grunted, wondering when will his roommate come back from his overtime.
