xxxHolic, chapter 145
Holic is back! Back, I tell ya! 今日はいい日だな。
Chapter 145
-01-
Top text: The deepening illusions, the stretching enigma. Watanuki's future, where is it headed!?
-02-03- (splash: Yuuko)
The truth you've been experiencing (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch on "truth". The kanji reads "fact". Both also mean "reality".)
will make you stronger---
Wanting to grant Yuuko's wish,
the "wish" Watanuki desired covered even that!!
That heart, can it become stronger than even fate!?
That heart, can it lead dreams into truth!? (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch on "truth", but I'm not sure what the difference is.)
-05-
Watanuki: ... Good morning!
Yuuko: ... Morning.
Side text: When is it a dream, when is it truth!? Even if that answer cannot be revealed, to those dear people, to those precious comrades, and in this moment, he... smiles. (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch on "truth" -- the kanji reads "reality". I decided to leave the "and" in, even though it's somewhat awkward since temporal expressions and indirect objects don't look anything alike in English.)
-06-
Watanuki: Well then, now to make breakfast---
SFX: koron (T/N: Mokona being dropped.)
SFX: ba- (T/N: Lifting the covers, maybe.)
Mokona: Aaah---
Mokona: That's mean, Watanuki--- And Mokona was sleeping together, too---
SFX: wa wa wa (T/N: Mokona crying.)
Watanuki: Sorry, sorry!
Watanuki: So, I'm going to make something you like for breakfast.
Mokona: Banana pancakes are great!
Watanuki: Got it.
Watanuki: Yuuko-san, what do you want to eat?
Yuuko: Beer! ♥
-07-
Watanuki: That's not something you eat, is it!!
Yuuko (off-bubble): Ahahaha!
SFX: hira hira (T/N: Fluttering.)
Watanuki (off-bubble): C'mon---!
Watanuki: You can't start drinking in the morning!
Mokona: Aaah---?
Watanuki: Even if this is a dream,
Watanuki: to me it's my precious daily life, so
Watanuki: she said that if I wish for it, it'll become the truth. (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch on "truth". The kanji reads "reality".)
Watanuki: ... I'll trust Yuuko-san.
-08-
SFX: patan (T/N: Door slamming.)
SFX: ji-... (T/N: Stare.)
-09-
Watanuki: ... My shadow, it's here.
Doumeki: It's supposed to.
Watanuki: So I'm human for the time being...
Doumeki: Aah?
Watanuki (off-bubble): Hmmm.
Doumeki: You, go home.
Doumeki: Go home and hurry to bed.
-10-
Watanuki: You aren't telling me, go home, go home, today.
Meaning, this has nothing to do with that time?
Doumeki (off-bubble): ?
Doumeki: So you're still half-asleep?
Watanuki: ... Even if... Even if that's the case, I'll do what I can do.
Watanuki (off-bubble): Tch, aren't you the one always with the face that looks half-asleep?
SFX: zui (T/N: Not-so-smooth movement.)
Doumeki: Is that bentou?
Watanuki: Doumeki.
Doumeki: What?
-11-
Watanuki: Are the things I make tasty?
Doumeki: Yeah.
-12-
Watanuki: I see.
Watanuki: Then, it's all right.
Doumeki: ... I knew it. Go home.
Watanuki: Why the hell?
Doumeki: You're not half-asleep at all; you hit your head, didn't you?
Doumeki (off-bubble): Siiigh.
SFX: bishi- (T/N: Cracking.)
Watanuki: You're really rude whatever the situation is!!!
SFX: ga---- (T/N: Some kind of impact.)
Himawari: You're really close today, too, aren't you?
-13-
Tanpopo: Pi!
Watanuki: Himawari-chan!
Himawari: Watanuki-kun, are you sick?
Watanuki: Eh?
Why?
Himawari: Since you're not all tsukkomi-like. (T/N: Manzai.)
Himawari (off-bubble): You always say, "We aren't close at all---!" like this...
Cat-Watanuki (off-bubble): Meow! Meow! Meow!
Tanpopo (off-bubble): ?
Watanuki: Somewhat.
-14-
Watanuki: Himawari-chan, being able to always meet you like this,
it's not something ordinary.
Watanuki: I was thinking...
that it's something I must treasure very much.
Watanuki: So, I'm saying I'm very happy to be able to see you today, too.
Himawari: ... Watanuki-kun.
-15-
Himawari: Me too!
Watanuki: Today's bentou, let's see--- I made crab cream croquettes---
Himawari: I love cream croquettes!
SFX: ba---n (T/N: Grand.)
SFX: pachi pachi (T/N: Clap.)
Doumeki: What about the fried lobster?
Watanuki: Got it!
Watanuki (off-bubble): Got it, but saying it like it's so natural is so infuriating!
Himawari: You're really close after all, aren't you?
SFX: ji-... (T/N: Stare.)
-16-
Doumeki: There's another bundle here.
Watanuki: Don't touch it!
You won't catch me off-guard!
SFX: bishi (T/N: Whip.)
Watanuki: That's Kohane-chan's part.
-18-
Side text: And then, there was Sakura!! This hand that attacks from the deep turbidity, what kind of fate will it bring about to Watanuki and company!? (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatch on "Sakura" -- the kanji reads "she". Furigana/kanji mismatch on "fate" -- both mean "fate" but I think the word used in the furigana is "heavier", more like "predetermination", and the dictionary also gives "karma" for that one. And I'm sorry for being completely out of ideas to replace "turbidity".)
I don't translate announcements, so a comment about the bottom text from page 1 is in order. The second season of the Holic anime has been confirmed to air next spring (probably in the batch of anime that start on April).
Page 5: When is Yuuko going to spill the beans as to why she's so gloomy?
Page 6: Yuuko never fails to make me laugh. I mean, beer?
Page 11: If only we hadn't had that part about Watanuki not remembering the taste of things a while ago, I'd be screaming "104 FTW".
Page 15: I fail so much at the culinary talk. Ergh.
Pages 17 and 18: Sakura, I can't freaking believe you. After all that trouble to come to the dream world... you let yourself be attacked from behind? *facepalm* Do me a favor and put up some resistance at least.
Pages 17 and 18, continued: People, please. Will you still say this is Shaoran's hand?
