Chapitre 217: Magic Words
[Insert text: Right now, moving onwards is all that I can do. // Even if I know that what I seek / is too distant to reach]
2
Syaoran: ...Wh... / ...What...?
Watanuki: These people...
3
Syaoran: That's... not Sakura... // Mother... / ...and Father...?
4-5
Mother!Sakura: Don't worry... it will be all right.
[TN: Huh... that's practically an exact flip of the equivalent spread in the latest Holic. Interesting to note the differences in art style, though.]
6
Mother!Sakura: That's what she said to me when I met her in a dream... and it gave me strength. // The one from another world... / ...who is the same as me.
7
[no text just mindfuck]
8
CCS!Sakura: This is a very precious thing to you, isn't it? // Even without the staff, the cards will still be right here with me. // So... / ...don't worry.
9
CCS!Sakura: I'm sure... // ...you will be all right, too!
[TN: Okay, so it's not the exact same words. So sue me. Hell, I didn't know they were going to be repeated in multiple situations when I translated that Holic chapter ~~]
10
Father!Syaoran: To choose the future.
People: ?!
11
[no text just MAGICAL STOOORM]
12-13
[no text, but, uh, it's pretty?]
14
Mokona: What?! // What's going on?!
[TN: That's what I'd like to know.]
Fai: Don't leave this space!
FeiWong: Why, you...!!
[TN: He's really getting screwed over here... somehow... isn't he. Poor little Fei Wong.]
15
Mother!Sakura: The world...
Father!Syaoran: I'm not going to let it be destroyed!
[TN: Always nice to know.]

It seems CCS!Sakura and Syaoran aren't TRC!Syaoran's parents. The other adults (the ones who appeared behind TRC Sakura and Syaoran) are they're real parents, and alternate version of CCS!Sakura and Syaoran. I guess CCS!Sakura gave the other Sakura her star wand, who gave it to Yuuko so her son can go to Clow. That still (unfortunately) doesn't explain a lot of unanswered questions >.<
All we know is that the Mother!Sak was the one who pay Yuuko her staff, not that she is CCS!Sakura ^^
So, I think that the middle-schooler!Sak is the CCS!Sak because her staff, as Yuuko said, is unique.
Therefore, the Parent!SakxSyao are not those from CCS... probably ^^ I am not CLAMP after all :))
Edit: before I forget, thanks for the translation
And thanks for those interpretations. I was vaguely thinking the same thing (Parents are alternates of CCS versions; the dream scene was CCS Sakura handing her staff to Parent Sakura), and since others seem to have got the same thing from it, I guess that's probably right ~~
Mm, I think I'll just edit in favour of that assumption.
So you have the same problem as I have. We don't know which Sakura is which, and it seems we've landed with a fourth one! The exact same as the CCS!Sakura from the CCS manga, giving the very same staff to the grown up Sakura who is Jr's mother and also has the cards with her?! And needs the staff to help them live.
Yep, pretty much the same I thought at first and that doesn't make any sense.
Thank you especially for the side notes. It's a relief not to be the only one freaking about this jumble.
Thanks for the translation as always (I'm a lurker). It really clarified some confusion I had on pg 6 with "kashite kurete". I got really confused with the ni particle there, but it makes sense now that I see your translation. ^^
I noticed the inverted Sakura spread too. I wonder if that's significant in any way...
XD
I'm almost sure the funniest thing to read here were your comments... 0.o, hehehe~
Thanks!!
Thanks Carlos!!!
Certainly an interesting chapter, no doubt. Just when I thought I had finally got a hold of everything that was going on....but no, CLAMP just had to smack us in the face with alternate copies and dimensions....*laughs*
