Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 164
Done, and with time to spare! I love short chapters, hehehe.

Chapitre 164
Kindness and weakness

-01- (splash: clone)

Even if I'm hurt,
I can fight again.
Because I was born
for the sake of granting [a wish]. (T/N: "Wish" is not explicit in the text. It could be a dream theme too.)

-06-

Fai: Look after Sakura-chan...

Shaoran: ... Don't.

-09-

Fai: I'm not kind or anything like that.
Fai: I'm just weak.

Fai: That weakness of mine invited this current reality.

-10-

Fai: Let us end this,
Majesty.
Fai: ... Your wish,

-11-

Fai: and
... mine as well.

-15-

Ashura-ou: I told you, didn't I?
That my magic power grows stronger the more I kill people.

Ashura-ou: Besides, it seems like you've lost of one of your eyes, which serve as the source of your magic power.

Shaoran: Raitei...

-16-

Ashura-ou: You tried to die along with me, right?
Ashura-ou: Even if both your eyes are present, you can't win against me with that.

-17-

Ashura-ou: You've always wished for the end,
for the end of your life, you who forced death onto your precious sibling.
Ashura-ou: Furthermore, because you knew my wish.

Ashura-ou: However, you can't die.

Ashura-ou: Because you must revive Fai.

-18-

Ashura-ou: And yet,
your trying to embrace the end for yourself, along with me,
Ashura-ou: I wonder if it was for their sake.

Ashura-ou: In that case, if I kill them,

Ashura-ou: perhaps you'll be able to defeat me with that wrath.

-21-

Ashura-ou: A protective seal?

-22-23-

Teaser: This instant---
What did the honorable men
see over the edge of the blade?

By the way, the quote I mentioned in the cut text goes, "Look at me. Look at me. The monster inside me has grown this large."

Don't go by my word that it's the clone on the cover. That's just the impression I had.

Fai has anger management issues. XD

Phew! Looks like the line that scared me in the first batch of spoilers wasn't in the chapter after all. *relieved*

Page 15: Yuuko, sue Ashura-ou, now! Overlook this one, and he'll be going "だから言ったでしょう" in no time.

Kurogane! Shaoran! I'm -so- much in love with the sequence from pages 19-23. Can I hope that the seal has been dissolved because in protecting Shaoran, Kurogane learned "true strength"? ^_^

Thank you for the translation!

I also thought that this is the Clone on the splash, but because his left side is shown, and he has a black eye instead of Fay's light one, I decided that it must be real!Syao. Still, his cold expression (and the fact that he's spluttered with blood) is very Cloney-ish.

Can I hope that the seal has been dissolved because in protecting Shaoran, Kurogane learned "true strength"?
I hope this is it, and not a 'goodbye present' to the dying Kuro.

	You're welcome! I don't think Kurogane's wound is that serious, it just hurts like hell. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dame...da. crying4themoon 2007-08-28 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	I had the impression that Syaoran was telling Y!Fai not to go fight Ashura-ou. The way Y!Fai reacted seems to support that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Dame...da. crying4themoon 2007-08-28 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	I also think the splash is C!Syaoran due to the text and the feather and the expression is pretty cold. At first glance I thought it was R!Syaoran though. I think everyone will pull through. I hope... ^_^; (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	thank you Ashura sama!!!!! i really want fay kill Ashura ou but i think he is only hurt so Fay will finish him!! (i hope) the Tomoyo trick was very good in deed!!! i hope they could save all members of the family and the splash i can place who are who without the eye!!!, but let me tell you he had a very good future!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-28 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	The people who have spoken up on the matter seem to agree with me that it's the clone in the splash. Oh, yeah, little change to the splash quote. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you Ashura-sama!! translating I wonder if R!Shaoran has another power apart from raite shourai or whatever is called XD (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-28 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome! Well, he used Fuuka Shourai back in the beginning of this arc, but I don't know whether it can be used as an attack spell. I think Raitei is the most natural to him or something. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	laifan 2007-08-28 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	I swear I still don't understand what Ashura's wish is. maybe I'm slow but I just don't get it! Gah! Isto confunde-me imenso.... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-28 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	The wish is easy, what's baffling me is why Ashura-ou is going about it the way he is (I wonder if he is cursed to not commit indirect suicide), and why is that he wants to die so badly. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Thank you so much for the translations ^-^ I'm elated and giggly and O.O At the same time. is fangirling Kuro-pu saved Shaoran! This is yay! And Tomoyo in Tsubasa earned cool points for that one ^-^ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-28 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome! And Tomoyo in Tsubasa earned cool points for that one ^-^ More than she already had from that cool spell she used when chibi-Kuro was going berserk and from her Piffle counterpart pointing a gun at Kyle? ^_^ (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	yuukosan 2007-08-28 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Yo Ashurasama! Thanks so much for traslation! ^__^ Well, I'm still a little confused...so, Ashura is a bad or a good dad for Fay? Someone will really kill him, my poor Daddy? He has always problematic child, our war God! Well...welcome back, Fanservice! I want you, more, IN HOLIC PLEASE! The arc of Celes wont end. Oh, it's too long! Kurogane, make something!

	All Ashura-ou counterparts should be interdimensionally fined every time one of them decides to have/raise a child. Not that it'd stop the ol' stubborn mule, though. XD Yesss, more Holic fanservice please!!! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Has anyone noticed that cover!Shaoran is wearing the necklace Ryuu-ou wears in RG Veda, and the staff Ryuu-ou used to attack Yasha-ou during their first encounter? I wonder what's the significance of that... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-28 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	facepalm I didn't remember Ryuu-ou was using a staff back then! Man, if that on the cover is the clone, then this is creepy. Though the volume cover featuring Shaoran and what looked like Garuda also had something a bit unsettling about Shaoran's expression. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jjblue1 2007-08-28 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	WOW! I admit I already knew this would be a cool chapter from the spoilers but now it makes much mroe sense! Now I'm rather impatient to see the next issue! And as usual... do you mind if I translate this? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Honestly, I wasn't very impressed by either TRC or Holic spoilers for this week. Good thing they both surprised me. ^_^ And as usual... do you mind if I translate this? No problem-o! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	kinoha 2007-08-28 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	XD the quote does fit...imagines him saying it I also think it's the clone ^^ just the symbolism with blood and feather and all... XD Fay has to go where Kuro was~ he seems to be able to control it XP he's only killing someone... Did the seal dissolve completely? blinks Now that would be a twist! Thank you very much!!! &hearts (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-28 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome! I'm going to be -so- glad if Kurogane's seal is gone. And brace myself for the wankery that will arise over Shaoran, not Fai, being the catalyst. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	la_vie_noire 2007-08-29 12:05 am UTC (link)
	Kurogane is my personal god. I didn't dislike Ashura-ou by any means but I'm so happy this is over. Thank you so much for translating! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-29 01:29 am UTC (link)
	All hail Kurogane! ^_^ The fight might be over, but if Ashura-ou doesn't live long enough for explanations, we'll most likely be getting them from Yuuko. I think I prefer Ashura-ou. XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	fangirl squeal FINALLY, we get to see more of Kuro-pon and r-Syaoran doing something cool!!!! Thank you for the translation!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ashura_sama 2007-08-29 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Took them long enough. XD Of course they would do something cool, because they're just that awesome, but Fai and Ashura-ou just wouldn't relinquish the spotlight... (Reply to this) (Parent)
