xxxHolic, chapter 137
Terribly late, I know. Well, it's here, though. I think I'll do Kobato tomorrow, I have very behind school stuff to take care of, and my damned ear (the reason for the "sick" in the mood field) isn't helping.

And I didn't even get to buy low-priced chocolate... Woe is me! On the bright side, I can go to the mall again without being assaulted by a countless number of... red things.


Chapter 137

-01-

Sakura: I had him tell me during the journey.
Shaoran-kun's birthday.

Sakura: April 1st, he said.
Sakura: When I told him it was the same as mine, he laughed, but

Sakura: that was a smile that looked like it hurt somewhere.

Sakura: What is your
birthday?

-02-

Side text: The "April 1st" connection with Sakura that was discovered in the world of dreams!! While standing in the interval between dreams and reality, what do you think, Watanuki!?

Watanuki: April... 1st.

Watanuki: ... A dream?
Yuuko: Did you fall asleep in the middle of putting on your shoes?

-03-

Watanuki: ... I did, didn't I?

Watanuki: Just now, inside the dream,
Watanuki: Sakura-chan...

Mokona: You'll be late-
Watanuki: Yikes!

Watanuki: I-
I'm off at once!
Yuuko: Take care! (T/N: Whatever you usually translate "itte rasshai" as.)

-04-

Yuuko: In your surname
there is an important meaning.

Sign: Juuji Private Academy (T/N: The usual note for "Juuji" -- it could be read differently.)

Watanuki: Sakura-chan, Shaoran-kun and I.
Watanuki: The birthdays of all of us are April 1st.

-05-

Watanuki: I wonder about
Watanuki: the other Shaoran-kun.

Doumeki: About who?
Watanuki: Wah!!

Watanuki: Don't appear without warning!
Doumeki: Is that bento?
Watanuki: It's not for you!
We only have class until noon today, don't we!

-06-

Watanuki: I'm taking it to Kohane-chan.

Doumeki: ... There's hanazushi in there, right? (T/N: Hanazushi is a sushi with flower patterns.)
Watanuki: That's why I'm saying it's not for you!!

Sign: Juuji Private Academy (T/N: Same warning.)

Watanuki: So, why is that you're coming with me!?

-07-

Doumeki: I'm carrying it, right?
Watanuki: That's obvious!!

Watanuki: And speaking of, what's with this attitude of yours!!?

Girl 1: Did you watch it?
Yesterday's spirit thing?
Girl 2: I really love it!

Girl 1: But, that was obviously a fraud, wasn't it?
Girl 2: Ah!
That one with the weird name.

Girl 2: Kohane-or-something.

-08-

Girl 2: But, she wasn't successful at all,
that time of the mediums' confrontation.
Girl 1: That Kohane girl, you mean the one who's always been appearing in TV lately. A relatively beautiful female medium. Ah, I watched that. The one who performed a spirit-viewing for an actress, right?
Girl 2: Yeah.

Girl 2: Even though that actress said her sister wasn't there,
that girl didn't go back on saying she was, right?
Girl 1: Although she wasn't there, why become a spirit and watch over her?
Girl 2: Looks like even in the previous program she bumped it off.
She says the appropriate things, doesn't she?
Girl 1: If she says she can see things, she draws attention, doesn't she?

-09-

Girl 2: But, now it's no use, is it?
Just with that she shamed herself in the TV.
Girl 1: She's a child, so she lies a lot, doesn't she?
Ahahahaha!

Doumeki: Aren't we going to deliver these?

Watanuki: ... Yeah.

-10-

Watanuki: ... Kohane-chan said that my dashimaki tamago is delicious. (T/N: Dashimaki tamago.)
Watanuki: This time I worked harder.
The pastries also came out well.

Doumeki: Got self-confidence?

Watanuki: I got here the greatest masterpiece around!

Doumeki: Then, she'll probably be delighted.

Doumeki: Just like your feelings preparing it.

-11-

Watanuki: ......

Watanuki: ... With your position, Doumeki!
Doumeki: Aah?
What

Watanuki: The cream-filled pastries.
If it's just one, it should be okay to share with you.
Doumeki: Weren't they masterpieces?

Watanuki: Exactly because they're masterpieces one is enough for you!!
Doumeki: Noisy.

Watanuki: It's here.
Watanuki: I had Kohane-chan tell me [the address].

-12-

Writing on the right side: Liar
House of the fake medium
Writing on the left side: Fraud!!
Curse you!
Idiot
Curse

-13-

Writing: Liar
House of the fake medium

Watanuki: Kohane-chan...

Doumeki: It's been cut.
Watanuki: Excuse me, is anyone...?

-14-

Side text: The cruel message from society that was carved on Kohane!! Why... why!? What in the world is that Watanuki and company can do!? (T/N: Kana/kanji mismatch on "message". The kanji reads "wounds".)

Watanuki: Kohane-chan!!

Is it just me, or something in the shape of Kohane's gate is -creepy-, in a "familiarly creepy" way?

You're welcome!

Otitis == annoying as hell

I'm wondering if it really was psycho-bitch that beat Kohane. I hate her and I wouldn't be surprised at all if she took out her rage over the inability to go on shopping sprees on poor Kohane, but it's almost too obvious. And in Holic, you never know when something's going to be the obvious or the unlikely, or even the impossible.

Kohane strikes me as someone far too used to the cruelties of the world, so I don't think this whole issue would psychologically affect her much more. (Didn't she comment on how no one calls her "Kohane" once?) I still hope that this time Watanuki can do more than treat her to more "ordinary" food, though.

Damn, xxxholic is also getting very depressing... I still think that was done by Kohane's mother :3 And that obssesion with April the 1st... in xxxholic OK, but in TRC considering they travel worlds can't have a meaning.... or yes? XD yesterday I told chibiyuuto that 04-01-2009 is wednesday, I think Clamp plans on ending TRC that day ;D the same day of their 20th anniversary ^______^

It'd be neat to end TRC on one April 1st. ^_^

Well, the notion of "year" seems to persist in a lot of worlds, and that makes sense (unless not all of them are alternate Earths), but matching New Year to the same number of days after the same solstice in all worlds is hard to believe. So if "April 1st" in Clow-koku corresponds to the same day (relative to the solstice) as "April 1st" in the Holic world, that's one more chip for the "怪しい玖楼国" pile.

Hmmm... Shaoran (the real one) might know, if he bothered to remember "the day when I ripped my own eye out", and if he had any idea of what day it was in Fei Wang's dimension to begin with. XD

I still don't think it beats the one from the chapter when he named Mugetsu. Watanuki getting all embarassed and telling Doumeki to not look (and Doumeki saying he wanted to see what kind of face Watanuki was making) is just made of awesome. ^_^
