Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 158
Yeah, you can see I wasn't in much of a hurry today.


Chapitre 158
The other curse

-01- (splash: Larg and Soel)

If you close your eyes,
the door will open---
That place is the "world of dreams".

-03-

Fei Wang: Who will leave this place? Only one person. (T/N: Yes, it's a bit different from what he said to Yuui.)
Fei Wang: Choose.

-04-

Fei Wang: You or

Fei Wang: the other person.

Fai: (T/N: The blank bubble of doom makes its triumphant return!)

-05-

Yuui: ... Fa...i.

Fei Wang: You have chosen.
The result is this.

Fei Wang: The life that you chose to erase.

Fei Wang: You must bear that blame.

Fei Wang: This is
Fei Wang: a curse.

Yuui: Fai---!!!

-06-

Fei Wang: Do you want to do it over again? Your choice.
Fei Wang: Do you want to turn it back?
Time.

Yuui: Such a thing... cannot be...

Fei Wang: Suppose it can.
Fei Wang: What will you do?

Fei Wang: If there is a way to revive the dead, what will you do?

-07-

Yuui: Fai...
I'd... (T/N: It actually says "Fai [object marker]". I threw in the "I'd" to fill the second half of the bubble.)

Fei Wang: For that reason,
Fei Wang: there's something I must have you do.

Yuui: What...?

Fei Wang: Very soon, the one that will come to pick you up will appear.
Fei Wang: You'll probably be able to leave this place.
Fei Wang: However, in due time...

-08-

Fei Wang: The reason why you guys were always locked up at each place.
Fei Wang: If a person who exceeds that mighty magic power should appear in front of your eyes, that person, you will kill.

Fei Wang: And,

Fei Wang: the other curse...

-09-

Yuui: The world is... being destroyed...?

-10-

Ashura-ou: I came to pick you up.

Yuui: ... From Gehenna...? (T/N: Yes, he does mean "hell". The kanji here is 地獄. Also, Gehenna.)

Ashura-ou: From another world.

-11-

Ashura-ou: I wonder if you want to stay here.

Yuui: Because...... there's something... I must do.

Ashura-ou: In that case, you can't stay here, can you?
Ashura-ou: You must live. (T/N: Literally, "if you don't live".)

-12-

Yuui: For being misfortune...?

Ashura-ou: For the sake of granting a wish.

-13-

Ashura-ou: Let's go.

Ashura-ou: Because this isn't the only world. (T/N: The same line from 148, which I mistranslated back them because I thought the twins were native to the dimension where Celes is.)

-14-

Ashura-ou: What's your name?

Yuui: ... Fai.

-15-

Ashura-ou: That's right.
Ashura-ou: You, having received that child's memories, should know.

Ashura-ou: Back then, this child was asked the same thing inside the tower, and chose you.

Ashura-ou: Fai. No, your real name was Yuui, wasn't it?

Ashura-ou: You, introducing yourself by the name of this child, who had died,
Ashura-ou: erased your own name, Yuui, from this world.

Ashura-ou: However,

-16-

Ashura-ou: even so, your sin won't disappear.

Ashura-ou: It's all right,
because I had those two who came with you see it as well. (T/N: Italics for 視, which CLAMP seems to use more in a "with the mind's eye" sense.)
Ashura-ou: Your past.

-17-

Ashura-ou: Now, let's have them see the true you.
Fai.

-18-

Ashura-ou: The promise you made in the past,

Ashura-ou: what you knew.

-19-

Fei Wang: ... That is the other curse.

Yuui: ... Eh?

-20-

Fei Wang: It's not necessary for you to remember it.
Fei Wang: This curse.

Fei Wang: And, I'll have you leave on a journey.

Fei Wang: A journey across various worlds,

-21-

Fei Wang: along with
the desert princess and the duplicate I prepared,

Fei Wang: as my move.

Teaser: Again Fei Wang's hand!
What is the true objective
of the jet-black king?

Does the blank bubble of doom on page 3 mean that Yuui has no idea of what Fai answered (or forgot it, or pushed it into the deepest recesses of his mind)?

I love page 14 -so- much.

I wonder if Fai didn't really start thinking that he was the real Fai? Maybe his expression on page 15 is just shock because he thought Ashura-ou would never figure it out, but I can't help wondering whether it was because he himself had no idea that he was Yuui. And, in that case, whether things with Kurogane will turn sour since all this time Kurogane was caring about Fai's impersonation of a dead kid.

wow thanks i'm waiting for your translation all day thanks!!!!!!

about the chapter:i think is a shoke because he see him self fall (they identical so the shock could makehim feel he was the other, and the guilt make him prefer his brother is alive and not him so is really probable that he just realize he is Yuui
where is kurogane FWR put him in the journey later??? because is obvious FWR kill his mother in order they loose anithing a go with Tomoyo who in time send him to travel so why Kuro isn't there???
is one or two curses more poor fay!!!!
adn for Fay i don't think he is still trying to resucited the dead brother

I think Kurogane might have come into the plan when Fei Wang realized that Fai alone wouldn't be enough protection due to his messed up psyche.

And yes, two curses. Gotta hate CLAMP for naming the chapter after the unknown curse and not telling us what the heck it is.

I think I died a little inside today.
I'm also going to start calling our Fai Yuui, so I don't confuse myself (even though that was the name he chose to erase. It just makes my brain hurt less)

Thank you for the translation!!!

You're welcome!

It'd be -so- incredibly fun if Fai decided that -he- is going to call himself Yuui from now on. Hehehe.

Fei Wang is terrible, I wonder if AshuraOu works for him!
And... would you mind if I were to translate this in Italian?

This is one of those "CLAMP must be killed if it does happen" things. XD All old fans love Ashura-ou. Let's just say they should receive the same treatment they've been dispensing to Fai if they make Ashura-ou evil.

And... would you mind if I were to translate this in Italian?
No problem-o! Go ahead. ^_^

My guess would be he had been tricked... or blackmailed like Fay was.
In RG Veda Ashura wanted a son. Maybe in TRC he had it and died and Fei Wang promised him he would resurrect him or something, like he did for Fay...

And... would you mind if I were to translate this in Italian?
No problem-o! Go ahead. ^_^

THank you so much!

Personally, I just think Ashura-ou is giving Fai a long overdue "get a grip". As I mentioned at TF, I have an impression that Ashura-ou might have found out about all this stuff not too long ago and is just performing his parental duties.

Let's hope you are right ;_; basically is this, or the oposite... but when did Ashura learnt all this, while was sleeping? ;D

Maybe Fai predicted him wrong and he didn't jump out of the water tank going all, "Where is Fai? I'm going to hound him all over the multiverse!" He did have time to get that real Fai there somehow, so maybe that's when he figured it out. Or maybe when he was sealed he had just found out, but didn't have the real Fai around yet and thus couldn't do anything.

Thanks &hearts
...interesting...Fay really could have started to think that he was "Fay"...especially after he got some of his memories....*ponders*
I hope it doesn't affect his realionship with Kuro...they have it hard enough already!

It will affect his relationship with Kurogane in one way or another. And thus we add another one to the list of "TRC characters that have relationship trouble because of a traumatic change in their partner". First it was other Shaoran with Sakura forgetting him. Then came Sakura with other Shaoran fading into the clone and Shaoran appearing. And now Kurogane with Fai turning out to have been lying about not just his personality and how much he knew, but also about his identity.

Hmmm I wonder about that too. Perhaps the real Fai Ashura is referring to is the real him and the one he has been up till now is his dead twin. If that is so, things with Kurogane could indeed sour ToT

Thanks for the translation ^^
