Next chapter TL might be a little slow in coming-- busy with RL, and also, I need to TL 31 before the chapter vanishes off the online reader.

Chapter 19: Otherwordly Being

I can't do anything the way I am now...

But, some day I definitely will!

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

1 It's useless...

2 It's no good... I failed.

3 I didn't win...

4 Uwaa

Text Defeated, Jio has been sucked into the enemy's black magic, and now...

[3]

1 Uhuuuu...
2 ...hic.

3 Uwaaaa...
4 What's wrong?

5 Why're you crying, // Jio?

[4]

1 Iregaura!

2 It's no good, // I lost.

3 Is your opponent strong?

4 Strong, // He's strong.
5 How strong is he?

[5]

1 Very...
2 Enough to wipe out an entire country by himself...

3 Are you saying that's strong?

4 Isn't... // it?
Lit: That's strong... // isn't it? <-- not enough space to TS, so whatever... seriously, don't TS it

5 Someone who uses his power to destroy countries?

[6]

1 Magicians don't become strong just because they obtain power.
2 You should know that.

3 Now, go back.

[7]

4 To those who are waiting for you---

[8]

1 Jio!

2 ... Rin.
3 Jio, // Woke, up...

4 Thank goodness...
5 Rin?

6 She's relieved.

[9]

1 She completely ignored me when I told her you were just unconscious. // ...Not surprising though.

2 Unconsc...? // Ah.

3 I was sucked into that black magic...

4 Saza, were you the one who rescued me?
5 Nope, // This squirt did.

6 Eh...

[10]

1 It was Rin?!

2 What... // Happened?

3 The moment you got sucked in, I heard a scream from behind.

4 It was the squirt...
5 I'd told her to stay put no matter what happened... Well, that's not important.

6 The problem begins here.

[11]

1 The next instant, a crack in the space above the squirt's head appeared---...

2 And what emerged from there

[12]

1 Can only be described as
2 An otherworldly being.

3 It was neither friend nor foe.

[13]

1 The only person capable of standing up to it was just Gin.

2 All the Butterflies of Magic and the Parnoas troops who got caught in // The fight between two monsters were crushed like ants.

[14]

1 Not that I'm any better than them.

2 And you, Saza...?
3 I grabbed the squit and fled from the scene.

4 When I came back after judging the time was right,

5 The monsters had disappeared, and I found you in the wake of battle.

[15]

1 So, it might not be entirely correct to say that the squirt rescued you.

2 It's possible that even though you got sucked up by Gin's magic he didn't entirely succeed... Likewise, you might have gotten out by yourself.
3 This is all I know.

4 ... The Butterflies of Magic...?
5 ... Probably all dead...

6 Then, even Miss Sheriano...

7 Sorry.

[16]

1 I'm so sorry.
2 Because of me...

3 Rin...

4 Because of me... // Again...
5 Why...? // I don't understa...

[17]

1 You tried to help me, didn't you?
2 Thank you.

3 But you mustn't use that power anymore.

4 Because I'll manage fine without it.

5 Saza, // Do you know what happened to Gin?

6 He didn't die,
7 And headed to the Ruwell capital, no mistake about it.

[18]

1 ...Why?
2 Do you remember Oribiretis?

3 It was surrounded by mist...
4 Yeah.

5 Come.

6 You get it now.

7 That mist-covered place is the Ruwell capital.

Text Following Oribiretis, Ruwell falls as well...
