Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 185
Since I already went through my quota of Acid Tokyo rereads, doing this shouldn't be too hard.
Chapitre 185
Repeating time
-01- (splash: Sakura)
She saw inside a dream
herself, crying just a little
for someone she will see
when she has awakened.
-02-
Kurogane: ... What was that now?
Apple-kun: Mister!
Apple-kun: Thanks for earlier.
I finished up without dropping the shop's goods!
Shaoran: ......
Apple-oba-san: Thank you very much!
This child is an airhead.
-03-
Shaoran: ......
Oji-san: Those looks of yours,
are you from another country?
-04-
Oji-san: The clothes you three are wearing are extremely different from each other.
Oji-san: Are you each from a different country?
Nii-san: How nice!
Mokona: Not just that kid...
Everyone's saying the same things they said yesterday.
Nii-san: You should take it easy.
And the festival is just around the corner, too.
Shaoran: Will the festival take place at those ruins...?
-05-
Nii-san: Yup.
In the ruins there.
Shaoran: ......
Apple-kun: Have you decided on an inn already?
Fai: Not yet.
Apple-kun: Then come to our place!
Apple-oba-san: That's right. By all means, come!
Shaoran: The sun is setting.
-06-
Mokona: It's weird.
It hasn't been long at all since Mokona and everyone woke up.
Nii-san: You should do that.
When you're in the middle of a journey, you need money, too.
-07-
Mokona: ... What...... a treat.
Apple-kun: Mom's pah'yu too, it's delicious!
Mokona: Pah'yu......?
Apple-kun: It's got the apples we sell at the market in it.
Mokona: It does, huh?
Mokona: Hey, that was yesterday too.
-08-
Apple-oba-san: Please have some for tomorrow's breakfast.
Apple-oba-san: Well, you must be tired.
Please feel free to rest up.
Shaoran: Thanks.
Fai: ... So it is repeating after all, isn't?
-09-
Shaoran: It's not a whole day.
It's a couple of hours between evening and night.
Mokona: Assuming it were repeating,
Mokona: wouldn't something change because Mokona and everyone came?
If Shaoran hadn't been there, maybe the kid here would've fallen.
Kurogane: For what purpose would someone do this?
Fai: I don't know.
However,
Fai: the possibility that this is in Fei Wang's plans is high.
-10-
Fai: For one day more
let's try to confirm that?
Fai: Whether tomorrow the same time will repeat itself.
Shaoran: ... Yes.
Kurogane: ... What's the reason behind putting the kid in a separate room, unlike yesterday?
-11-
Fai: I thought you'd notice.
Kurogane: ......
Fai: And that if noticed, you'd know why,
but is it correct?
Fai: After my body became like this, I seem to be sensitive to the scent of blood.
Fai: Besides,
whatever you say, for you to be in a room and not take off your cloak or the headdress...
It's strange, isn't it?
-12-
Fai: Would that be in order to conceal your facial expression?
You're in pain.
Kurogane: ......
Fai: ... So, the artificial arm doesn't fit?
Kurogane: If it works, there's no problem.
Fai: ... Does it hurt more than yesterday?
Kurogane: ......
Fai: Answer me.
Fai: With this we'll find out whether our time is going forward in the repeating time of Clow country.
-13-
Kurogane: ... Yes.
Fai: If it hurts then say so from the start!
Idiot.
Kurogane: Bastard!
Fai: When you're with others, there are more things you can't hide.
If they find out later, it'll be more painful for Shaoran-kun and Mokona.
-14-
Kurogane: ... You're one to talk.
Fai: I'm the one to talk.
Mokona: ... Can't sleep?
Shaoran: ... Where is time repeating from?
I'm intending to find out for sure...
-15-
Shaoran: ... What the...?
Mokona: Mokona's eyes can't open!
-16-
Mokona: Hey, Fai, Kurogane!
Mokona: Did you suddenly get sleepy yesterday?
Fai: You two as well?
-17-
Shaoran: From evening to night only a certain fixed time is repeating itself.
Apple-kun: Ah!
-18-
Apple-kun: Thank you, mister!
Apple-kun: You a traveler?
Shaoran: ......
Apple-kun: Thanks a bunch!
Clow country is a nice place!
Shaoran: Assuming this is Fei Wang's plan,
Shaoran: if he's making these people do the same things all the time...
Teaser: The enigma begins! What is Fei Wang's intention...?
Page 7: Not so enthusiastic about repeating the same dish two days in a row, Mokona? (笑)
Page 9: My brain must've broken somewhere along the way, because it took me a good while to figure out what Shaoran meant there.
Page 11: Yes, my brain is definitely broken. Fai's line in the last panel didn't register for a while even though I'd already read ahead. X_X
Page 13: Nice Pavlovian psychology there, Fai. ¬¬
Page 15: And it gets creepier. Damn, Shaoran, you're supposed to know the place, give us some clues!
If Shaoran's line is going where I think it is, he might raise a question that's been bothering me. What is the significance of the time being repeated? Is Fei Wang trying to hide something with this, or is there something he's stalling, or did he simply find an endless supply of energy based on using the same energy he's already used? Is he trying to merge Sakura and failing? Or does Shaoran know exactly why this is happening?
... Or is the festival in the ruins the Watanagashi festival?
