Hunter x Hunter 276

[TN: As has relatively often been the case with Hunter, some of these translations have been absolute pains in the ass and I can't be absolutely sure that I haven't screwed something up a little. Still, I think I've done a pretty good job.]

Hunter x Hunter
#276: Missileman
[side text: Knuckle shows his face!!]

2
Potclean: Time up! // Interest added!
Yupi: ?! // (The number went up?!) // ......

3
Yupi: (My attacks don't affect it?!) // What is this thing?! // Oh no, you don't!! // Answer me!! // What is this thing?!!

4-5
Knuckle: Yeah, like I'd tell you that, dumbass!!!! // You wanna know, you gotta catch me first!!
Yupi: Nghhh...

6
Meleoron: ...... // (He's actually trying to take him on alone, the idiot!! // And with those lethal blades flailing around, I can't possibly reach him...!! // In which case...!! // Not too slow, not too fast... // Making sure I use my air as efficiently as possible!!)

7
Shoot: (I can't... allow myself to lose consciousness...!! // If I pass out, "Hotel Rafflesia" will be deactivated...) // I... // (Even if...... I can wound him just a little...... it has to be worth something...!!) // I can... still... // I... can... do this...!

8
Meleoron: (I can't do it...!! I can't say it...!! // I can't ask Shoot to do any more than this......!!!)

9
Meleoron: (What I have to do right now...!! // It isn't saving Shoot...!! // I have to use my ability to help the other members... // ...to help them complete this mission even a single second sooner!! // Keep it up!! Shoot!! // Don't die~~~~~~~~!!!)

10
Meleoron: (Nobody here...!! // But I mustn't rush... I have to look around carefully... // Even if I do by some horrible accident get found, I can pass as one of them...... but... // Depending on who I'm trying to fool, they might see straight through me...!! // "Perfect Plan", release!! // Okay!! // Activate!!)

11
Meleoron: (Morau's Prison Lock...!! That means... / Morau and Pufu are engaged in a battle in the throne room that can't be interfered with!! // In which case, all that's left... // ...is Gon and Killua. // Where are they?! // Where are Gon and Killua?! // Which way did they...)

12
Meleoron: (Welfin!! // Not good!! // I can't hold my breath much longer... do I run?! // He's dangerous!! // Which way?! // If he were to move in the same direction......!! // Of all the commanders, he's the biggest sceptic! // Or do I wait for him to leave?! Will my breath hold?! // If he doubts me in the slightest, that's it!! He'll suspect me to the end!!)

13
Meleoron: (It's no good!!! I can't hold it!!! // I'm at my limit!!! // I'm just going to have to breathe out as hard as possible... // ...and suck it back in as fast as I can!!)

14
Meleoron: ("Perfect Plan", release!! // And suck!!! // Activate!!)
Welfin: (Just now... For a moment... // ...I sensed a presence...?)

15
Welfin: (An enemy!!!)
[Text: Welfin's ability was a powerful projection of his character... // ...giving him a deeply mistrusting and sly power.]
Welfin: (Missileman!!!)

16
Welfin: You, hiding behind the building!! // If you're there, you have until three to show yourself and surrender!! / If you do not, I will attack immediately!! // Three! // Two! // One! // Fire!!!

17
Welfin: (Nobody there... // Did I imagine it......?)
[Text: The moment Welfin sensed his presence, Meleoron had moved from his position.]
Welfin: (No... but... // There's the scent of an odourless deodorant... / You can't fool this nose of mine...!!)
[Text: Welfin's "Missileman" has three stages: 1) Establish a target. 2) Load a "bullet" in the form of a question or order. If the target lies, or refuses to obey, then 3) The attack commences. // If Meleoron had stayed in his position, behind the building, then despite the fact that Welfin could not sense him, the attack would have proceeded regardless. However, since the "target" had been incorrectly identified, a misfire was all that resulted.]
Welfin: (Somebody was here...!! I know they were...!! // Since I only felt their presence for a moment... they must be pretty good.)
[Text: Once Missileman is successfully activated, it will continue the pursuit until it hits its mark.]

18
[Text: And nobody has survived taking one of those hits.]
Welfin: (If he's using deodorant like that, he must be watching out for me... // There's no doubt about it; we have a traitor amongst the enemy!! // Someone other than Fratta...?! It looks like a yes!!)
[Text: But Welfin did not believe that his own weapon was invincible.]
Welfin: (And it's somebody I know!! // That's why he made sure to eliminate his scent...!! // Who?! // Doesn't he mean to fight me?! // Could he do it at any time, then?! // I...?! I...)
[Text: "Missileman should only ever be one of my tools of negotiation." Even Welfin's own ability was not exempt from his suspicions.]
Welfin: (At this rate... // Should I really stick with the Chimera?!)
[Text: Why, even his aim to become a "shadow King" was merely because becoming the "true King" would increase the number of people he had to suspect beyond what even he could allow.]
Yupi: What's with all these damn people?!!
Welfin: (Don't tell me... he's actually being challenged?! // Yupi...?!! // Is finding Bizef really... // ...what I should be doing right now...?!)
[Text: As Welfin, at the main entrance to the Great Staircase, began to doubt even that the King truly was the "King"...]

19
Killua: (Meleoron!!)
[Text: Gon's cry... // ...was showing Meleoron the way.]
[side text: What scene was to meet Meleoron's determined eyes?!]
[bottom text: Next issue, a change in the relationship between Gon and Pitou...?! Also, Knuckle's deadly battle!!]
