Chapitre 171 The Beautiful Battleground
[insert text: As the sakura fall upon the water's surface / They catch a glimpse of bygone days // And show naught but that journey]
[TN: CLAMP, are you trying to kill my brain with déjà-vu?]
[CLAMP: Yes.]
[TN: Oh. Wait, what are you doing in my translation?!]
[CLAMP: We're not. This is just proof that you're going insane.]
[TN: Right.]
[CLAMP: Are you ever going to get your translation up for Hatsukoi Chapter 5?]
[TN: Of course I will. Honest! >_<]

[insert text: With a feather and his life on the line... Can Syaoran prevail in this battle?!]
Amaterasu: I bid you wait.

3
Amaterasu: If you begin fighting like this, then Shirasagi Castle will be damaged in the process. // If you would conduct your battle within a kekkai...
Fai: ......

[no text, just kekkai goodness]

6
Seishirou: A separate dimension... / Yes, one could certainly call this a kekkai. // I suppose now we can do whatever we like and it will have no effect on reality.

7
Seishirou: Wounds, however, are as real here as in the real world. // Well, then, shall we begin once more?

8
Amaterasu: You were always locked up in kekkai just like that when you wouldn't listen to what you were told, weren't you? / Kurogane.
Kurogane: Stop remembering such damn annoying things. // And those two are outside?
Amaterasu: It would not do for the one who erected the kekkai to become entangled in the battle.

9
Tomoyo: Shall we find out the outcome of this battle later from Kurogane and the others? // There is something you wish to discuss with me, yes?

Syaoran: !
Amaterasu: You are happy to simply observe?

12
Kurogane: This is that kid's fight. // I'm not gonna go interfering in a battle when I'm not wanted.
Amaterasu: It's true... / You really have grown.

13
Amaterasu: I wonder... // Did Tsukuyomi have something to do with that, too?
Fai: I was told that you are a dreamseer. // That you can see the future in your dreams. // But then... / I came here to Nihon Country... // ...and met you in person.

14
Flashback!Tomoyo: Don't worry.

15
Flashback!Tomoyo: Kurogane will not die.
Fai: I can sense the power of a dreamseer. / You don't have it.
Tomoyo: I'm just like you.

16
Tomoyo: I gave it to that woman. // As a price.
Fai: ...But then... for us...?

17
Flashback!Yuuko: What could be so important that you actually use your own magic to speak with me?
Flashback!Fai: Well, I've already used my magic a fair amount anyway. // I can't think that we will be able to visit Celes without anything happening. // I want you to ensure that the next world after Celes will be a safe place for them.
Flashback!Yuuko: ...The world after Celes... I see. // You say "safe", but that can be interpreted in various ways.
Flashback!Fai: Somewhere where they can at least heal their injuries, // and rest a while. // The price...?
Flashback!Yuuko: To change the destination for the four of you... / All four must pay the price.

18
Flashback!Fai: But, this is my wish...
Flashback!Yuuko: And thus you will need to pay a further price above and beyond the prize you received for your victory in Chess. // When you travel to Celes, you must use your own transportation magic.
Flashback!Fai: ...All right.

19
Flashback!Yuuko: I have already received a part of the price.
Flashback!Fai: What?
Fai: So you paid the price to allow us to travel here after Celes. // The person who she spoke of back then was you, wasn't it. // Tomoyo-hime.
