Sooo... the last entry went over 100 comments, mostly discussion and most not mine?

You guys freakin' rock! ♥

And lexi_nyanko also rocks for not only getting the chapter early, but also for advertising it in tsubasarc where everyone can see.


Chapitre 181
The country of the future

-01- (splash: Sakura and Sakura-replica)

For now the two are the same;
but someday, somewhere,
one of them---

-02-

Shaoran: The payment...

Yuuko: ... has already been received.

-03-

Mokona: From who?

Yuuko: The person who is closer to Shaoran than anyone else.

Yuuko: And he paid me in the past the same price as the princess who travelled with you.

Kurogane: The same thing as the princess...

Fai: ... Memories?

-04-

Yuuko: And he himself... forgot his own past, the names of his parents,
even the fact that he made this payment.

Yuuko: For the same wish as yours.

-06-

Yuuko: Fei Wang had been gathering people's souls because of his dream.

Yuuko: So,
Yuuko: if you follow where those souls are going, you'll know his whereabouts.

Kurogane: So you knew?

Yuuko: Though it was only a while ago.

-07-

Kurogane: ... I see.

Fai: For one who possesses magic to know another's whereabouts means that one's own whereabouts will also be revealed.

Yuuko: ... Yes.

Yuuko: This shop is something that was created for the sake of a day that must come to pass.
Yuuko: And I too am here for that day.

-08-

Yuuko: Where Fei Wang is
... is Clow country.

-09-

Yuuko: The one that is "outside of time"... you know? (T/N: Literally, "the time that has been cut off".)

-10-

Fei Wang: Reading time,

Fei Wang: reading space,
Fei Wang: and manipulating people's lives

Fei Wang: I have obtained it.
The body that marked dimensions. (T/N: This is sounding weird to me, but the を there points at this translation.)

-11-

Fei Wang: I finally obtained it.
Had this not returned, everything would have been for naught.

Kyle: What about the body of the original Sakura-hime?

Fei Wang: After this replica was made,
it was destroyed.

-12-

Fei Wang: It seems that a replica that is the same as the original is not something that can be so easily created, after all.
Fei Wang: This replica of the princess
is different from the one of that relative of Clow's.

Fei Wang: Because both soul and body were duplicated.

-13-

Fei Wang: However, while foreseeing that,
I also knew it would come to this, and made those people her traveling companions.

Fei Wang: With this body and the princess' soul, I shall obtain the power to transcend dimensions.

-14-

Kendappa: So your brother is a busy person, is he not?

Fuuma: I apologize for the haste.
And after all the trouble of inviting him...
Fuuma: I didn't even hear him say he was going to the next world.

Fuuma: They should be the ones who really want to hurry up.

Fuuma: But in order to cross not only worlds, but time as well

Fuuma: they must wait for "that time".

-15-

Kendappa: Your brother looked like he also has a wish.

Fuuma: Yeah.

Fuuma: A wish that he wants granted at any cost.

-16-

Kendappa: All happiness, also all unhappiness,
as long as there are desires,

Kendappa: that is precisely why people continue to make wishes.

-17-

Mokona: ... Sakura.

-21-

Shaoran: ... Sakura.

Teaser: The world, as though resonating
with those of strong purpose,
began to move!

Page 1: We had Shaorancest, we had Flouritecest, now we have... Sakuracest? (笑)

Page 7: Poor Kurogane, no one tells him anything. And major *SHIVER* at Fai's line.

Page 10: CLAMP, stick to what you state, please! We've been hearing ever since 133 that it's Sakura's body that's marked by the dimensions she visits, and now you tell us it's the other way around?

Page 11: Help! Does anyone know of a good online reference on the more literary style of Japanese that Fei Wang uses?

Page 12: Again, CLAMP, stick to what you state already! Fai just said "heart and body" last chapter.

Page 13: And how exactly -were- you keeping Sakura's soul around without a body, o great Lord Chin?

Page 14: I'm not sure what Fuuma is referring to in that third panel. Did the Nihon people offer a night's stay or something like that, or did Fuuma offer a ride? (Yes, that's my memory totally failing.) And, more importantly, what -is- he going on about in the last panel?

Page 16: Awesome Yuuko-ish expression there, Kendappa. Are they supposed to be related or what the heck? Tomoyo also did look like Yuuko in  the earlier Nihon chapters.

Pages 17-21: Total heartbreak there, but that goes without saying.
