Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 154

You can find raws over at [info]eldarianne's. [info]su_chan zipped the images and uploaded them to MediaFire, but at least to me it's been acting up lately, so here's a Sendspace version.


Chapitre 154
The magician's return

-01- (splash: Shaoran)

For the sake of the memories
and the body of the tomorrow you,
now, for one moment,
I become a gust of wind.

-02-03-

Label: Celes country

-04-

Shaoran: That castle is... (T/N: This is just a generic start of sentence. It could be a question, a silly comment, whatever.)

Fai: Where I was, Castle Ruval. (T/N: Not sure how to romanize ルヴァル, does anyone recognize the name?)

Mokona: It's no good!
I don't know where Sakura's body is!

Shaoran: Mokona, what you've been detecting was the presence of the princess' feathers.
Shaoran: The feathers are the princess' memories, her heart,
so you probably don't know about the body that is without a soul.

Fai: Sakura-chan is over there.

-05-

Kurogane: How can you tell?

Fai: Although her body and soul are separated, Sakura-chan is still alive.
And
Fai: the presence of living things comes from nowhere other than that castle.

Mokona: What about the other people in this country?

-06-

Fai: ......

Mokona: Hmmm, how should we go to the castle?
Climbing those stairs?

Fai: It's not like they're really there.

Kurogane: An illusion?

-07-

Shaoran: Fuuka Shourai! (T/N: "Invocation of the wind petals".)

-08-

Mokona: Shaoran can also use this kind of magic, right?

-10-

Mokona: They look like... the clothes Fai is wearing.
Kurogane: The people of this castle?

Shaoran: ......
Fai: That's right.

-11-

Kurogane: What's up?

Mokona: Does your head hurt?

Shaoran: ... No.

Mokona: You really okay?
Shaoran: I'm all right.
We must search for the princess... (T/N: This sentence probably uses the "-nai to ikenai/naranai" form, and was cut after the "to". There's a small chance that Shaoran was going to say something else, like a negative consequence of not searching for Sakura's body.)

-12-

Mokona: ......

Kurogane: Can you tell where in the castle is the princess' body?

Fai: ... Yes.

-13-

Fai: ......

-15-

Ashura-ou: Welcome back,

Ashura-ou: Fai.

-16-

Fai: ... I thought I'd be able to not return,
if possible.

Fai: Ashura-ou.

-17-

Ashura-ou: Even though you promised
Ashura-ou: that you'd grant my wish.

Ashura-ou: I've been waiting for you.

Ashura-ou: This child
Ashura-ou: has also been waiting

-18-

Ashura-ou: for you, all the time.

Teaser: Those young eyes,
what kind of memories
do they project on the king, on the magician?


There might be page numbering/ordering errors here, please warn me ASAP if you see one. Same goes for any lines I might have missed.

Okay, this time I think I made it pretty clear that someone saying "<something> wa" does not mean that the person knows what the <something> is. It was stupid of me not to put this kind of note in previous translations.

Page 4: All right, Shaoran, you kinda lost me there. Heart, or soul, or do you know that they can't be trivially separated? And if you know that, what the heck were you thinking back in Acid Tokyo? And why does it creep me out to see Fai talk about Sakura's body as "Sakura-chan"?

Page 15: This is a historical moment! Ashura-ou, alive, talking, not in a flashback! YAY!!!

Ohh... Thanks a lot for translation *-*
"Ashura-ou, alive, talking, not in a flashback!" I agree this is a historical event!

[info]ashura_sama

May 30 2007, 15:14:25 UTC 4 years ago

You're welcome!

Now Clow needs a historical event like that, but unfortunately I think -that- one will stay forever in wish-land.

Why do you think so? Clow is so unreachable?
Maybe someday they'll return...

Thank you!!! I've just comppared with mine and I only did 2 silly small msitakes this time (and on easy sentences, idiot me, sometimes english fools me while writing the sentence) ^____________^ *soproud*

You're welcome!

Ah, little romanization note: the "va" in "Ruval" is a katakana vu + small a, so it's really "va".

thx for the translation, btw!!!

[info]ashura_sama

Agreed. Additionally, I have the impression that the twin is actually Fai, and the Fai we know is the one who fell from the tower.

Its almost like a typical horror plot. You go into a house that has bodies scattered outside. Inside, a lone person who smiles like your mother is waiting to meet then pulls out a kid that looks like a scarecrow. I'd be running for the hills by then. >_>

Why is 'Foy' alive?
What was Ashura-ou's wish?
We have TRC next week right?

BTW I uploaded some doujins at the Tsubasa forums. There are four different links for each and none of the are MegaUpload or Sendspace. So... Please? :3

[info]ashura_sama

May 30 2007, 15:37:45 UTC 4 years ago

Hey, that Celes horror story looks great! Someone should write a crackfic about it. ^.^

Ashura-ou's wish? This being CLAMP, I'd say something like he wishes for Fai to kill him. XD

As far as I know, next week is both TRC and Holic.

I'm a bit busy this week, I'll look at the doujins when I have more free time, 'kay?

wow...has Shaolan been hurt >_<? I don't like that. *Why don't you say anything Shaolan-kun T-T* Ruval. Oh, the "val" thing sounds French (well, I'm French :P). CLAMP have been inspired by French in the past, haven't they? It may be the case here... But we wouln't pronounce "Ruval" like in English. May it be "Rouval"...? *Well it may not be French by the way...we should better ask Clamp themselves u_u*

[info]ashura_sama

May 30 2007, 18:08:51 UTC 4 years ago

Ah, I wonder what's up with Shaoran, too. He's obviously sensing something. Maybe he has some power similar to Watanuki's, which make him physically ill in the presence of "bad energies"?

I thought maybe ルヴァル would be something from a CLAMP manga I haven't read, but no one said anything so maybe it's not.

No Holic? Crap... Why must CLAMP keep pushing all the good stuff so far away? So many Holic breaks, the freaking two months break in Kobato... T_T

Yay CELES!!! I liked this chapter very much, the art was amazing!
Thank you very much for translating it!

You're welcome! *runs off to fanbrat about Ashura-ou*

[info]herm_nefer

May 30 2007, 17:46:20 UTC 4 years ago

Yay new chapter! But it's so creepy! I've been wanting to get to Celes for a while..but it's starteling to see the last page. I'm wondering if the little boy is even real. The stares to the castle are an illusion, so it is possible that the only one there is Ashura-ou.

>.> If it's the little boy is one of the little boys in the tower then it's very off because clearly Fai grew up and he's much older than he appeared. This little boy looks the same age as when they were in the tower. Maybe it's a piece of Fai that he left behind...*sigh* I'm confusing myself. Sorry for ranting. I appreciate the translation very much, thank you. *bow*

[info]ashura_sama

May 30 2007, 18:19:41 UTC 4 years ago

Maybe it's a piece of Fai that he left behind...
That's an interesting thought. As for the age thing, we know it's possible in CLAMP-verse to magically stop someone from growing up. Eriol did it, and it also happened to Shaoran (though in his case it was probably forced).

Though it's possible that the brat is really just an illusion. I mean, where has he been hiding all this time?

Thaaank you so much for the transelation!<333 OMG this is so much love! This chapitre is simply awesome! And yes, Fay talking about Sakura's body as Sakura-chan is kind of scary. What also bothers me is that the dead bodie are still there if we assume they are the same as when Fay left. But then again it is very cold in Celes o.O But then again there are a lot of things bothering me with this chapitre. What did Fay promise? What does Foy doing there, and what is Fay's second curse -.-; CLAMP... why?

[info]ashura_sama

May 30 2007, 18:26:57 UTC 4 years ago

As usual, CLAMP feeds us with one answer and ten thousand questions.

I wonder what kind of arc this will be. Right now it looks like it's just going to be one very long talk. Also, is Sakura coming back to hear about all the messy details of Fai's past? It'll be very headwall-inducing if she's "spared" from this one.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Holic break next week means we'll be seeing the fated meeting with the clone within 1-2 chapters?

Thanks so much for this. Your work rocks!
The one by one chapters are killing me I need more. T.T

[info]ashura_sama

May 31 2007, 11:16:09 UTC 4 years ago

You're welcome!

To me, this is a nice change compared to the beginning/middle of Infinity, when we just wanted it to freaking be over already. It's good to have an arc that actually makes us eager to read the next chapter.

[info]angelflare

May 30 2007, 23:52:10 UTC 4 years ago

Wow, what a creepy chapter!! That last page made me gasp O_O That was SO scary. Poor Fai~~!!
I'm concerned about Syaoran...At first I thought he was feeling the Clone somewhere, but after reading what everyone's been saying, I think it's quite likely that it's because of his apparent connection with Watanuki. Maybe he can see spirits or something like that (in CCS, those with strong magic power could see, or at least feel, spirits and ghosts).
It looks like Celes will be a very bloody and/or creepy arc for some reason...I'm so looking forward to it! XD

Thanks for the translation!!

[info]ashura_sama

May 31 2007, 11:22:01 UTC 4 years ago

You're welcome!

Actually, I'm not as concerned about Shaoran as I was when the spoilers came out. I seriously thought he would be getting his CLAMP-maimingTM in this arc. But now it looks more like a supernatural thing, and he having some experience in magic is a lot more reassuring than it'd be if it had been Watanuki in his place.

I recently joked in TF about white going well with crimson. Looks like CLAMP also thinks so. XD
