Prepare yourself for a rushed ending... don't say I didn't warn you. Wonder if the tanko has some extra pages to ease the transition...

Also, smooth sailing from here until ch32, so I'll go focus on my other series now.

Have a great Christmas, all.

==============

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic
Kirihata Ayumi

The touching climax!

Chapter 26: The Inverted City

[2]

Jio, who has passed the test and won over the Curses of Fire and Ice!

1 Er...
2 ... I'm back...

3 Jio!

SFX grip

[3]

1 Welcome back!

2 Rin...
3 It's my first time seeing her make that expression...

4 ...Yeah,
5 I'm back.

6 Sure took your time, huh.
7 Saza.

[4]

1 Though, letting time pass might've been the only way you'd pull through without dying.
Lit:
coming back alive might only be made possible with the passage/spending of time.

2 Time...

3 Have I been away for that long?
4 Yeah.

5 Around a month.
6 Er...

7 A month... Then...
8 Ruwell...

[5]

1 Redainlos...
2 Gin...?

3 Redainlos is okay...

4 But he's just one step away from achieving his goal.

5 What's Gin's goal...?

6 It's something you're familiar with.

[6]

1 The Inverted City.
2 That is Gin's goal.

3 What I saw in my past...

4 At the beginning, he was hunting for Rin, the key to the Inverted City...
5 But it seems he lost the need for it once he acquired immense power after covering Ruwell in mist.

6 Wh... What do you mean?

[7]

1 Look in the sky.

[8]

1 The City...!
2 It can be seen all over the world.

3 But ever since that City appeared, not a single person, not even magicians, have been able to reach that city.

4 None but those chosen by the City may enter.
5 Otherwise, one must be guided by the Key to reach the City.

[9]

1 The Key...

2 Rin...!

3 However, that masked man wielded power enough to bend that law and stepped foot into yonder City.

4 Jio, I'd said that Redainlos was all right, but that won't be the case very soon.
5 Eh?

6 It's not just Redainlos.
7 The entire world

[10]

1 Will be engulfed by mist.
2 Just like Ruwell and Oribiretis.

3 !!

SFX grit...

4 I'll stop Gin this time,
5 For sure!

[11]

1 I will take the two of you to the Inverted City.

2 Of course...
3 I'm coming along as well.

4 Rin...

5 Don't worry, Jio.

6 Rin's become strong.
7 That goes for me too.

[12]

1 Though I'm more powerful than her.

2 Saza...

3 Seems like... they're getting along?

4 That's right.
5 I know.

6 They've
7 Become strong.
8 Very strong.

[13]

1 And this time
2 I'll definitely succeed!

3 You all show great promise.
Lit: you're dependable/promising people

4 Boy,
5 Won't you test out your newfound power of your Curses?

[14]

1 No. // Because I might destroy this island.

2 Heh...

3 Hahaha, // I really have high hopes for you.
4 You all gave the same answer.

5 Go forth.
6 Ye with power.

[15]

1 Let's go.
2 Jio, Saza.

3 Yeah!

[16-17]

n/a

[18]

1 !

2 Looks like we've got ourselves a warm welcome right from the get go.
3 I'll deal with it.

SFX flip

SFX whiiine

[19]

1 With the power of two Curses, Fire and Ice,

2 All things freeze in their tracks...

[20]

1 All things burn to ashes!

[21]

1 ...So you've come.

2 Jio...

[22]

1 Let me show you power that you can never attain no matter how powerful you become.

Chapter 25: The Truth behind the Curse
Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic
[ad]

Kirihata Ayumi

Thank goodness...

It didn't end in a tragedy...

[2]

Eh? But this is the Curse of Ice's past...?

Then, why's the Curse of Ice---...

Even though it should have ended with smiles all around...?

Sei completely let down his guard.

Because he trusted in me, so he---...

[3]

So he fell, so simply...

[4]

1 Sei!

SFX grab

SFX whud thud thud thud

[5]

[6]

1 Such a pity, Kai.

2 Sleep with the demon.

3 Only you can save the world.

4 What do you mean
5 Save the world?

[7]

1 I'm a lost cause.
2 But Sei...

[8]

1 Sei!
2 What the hell's this?

3 Is this the seal---?!

4 Brother...

5 Broth...

6 Seiiii!

[9]

1 What did Sei do?

2 It might be true // That he isn't human.

3 But he didn't destroy the world.

4 He's a gentle kid.

5 A world where Sei has to be sacrificed----...

SFX crackle crackle

[10]

Should just be frozen.

[11]

SFX pa-shing

1 Kill.

2 Kill
3 Everything.

4 Kill.

5 I see, so the Curse of Ice wasn't the demon, Sei...

[12]

1 But rather,
2 His human brother, Kai.

3 Kill.

4 If you kill all of humanity,

5 I shall lend you my power.

[13]

1 No!

2 Then,

3 Die.
SFX crick crick

4 ?!
5 crik crack crack

6 I'll let you savour the fear of being frozen, starting from your feet, inch by inch.

7 If you change your mind, then I'll save you.

8 Now,
9 Show me your true nature.

[14]

1 In any case, humans cannot fight their fear of death.
2 They'll speak hateful words, sacrifice other people they'll do anything to protect themselves...

3 He isn't scared...?!

4 What's with him...?!

5 What's the matter?
6 You'll really die at this rate, y'know!

[15]

SFX crick crick
1 W... Why

2 Won't you fight back?!

3 Because I know
4 You!

5 You're the kind of person who'd use ice magic
6 To release a dying kitten from its agony!

7 ?!

8 What're you talking about? // It was Sei who did that. Not me.
9 But!

10 That-
11 His gentleness

[16]

1 You're the one who taught him that!

2 Brother.

[17]

1 Wha...

2 It's your loss.
3 Ice.

4 Fire...!

[18]

1 fwoosh

2 Ain't it nice?

3 Those who possess curses tend towards destruction.
4 But things might turn out differently if we're talking about this container.

=============

Slowly getting there... 25, 26, 28, 33, (34?) and the last chapter to go...

Incidentally, Jio's ended, but I didn't get around to finishing ch33 (and 34?). I hope someone's got a copy of it floating somewhere...

=============

[1]

1 Seal away your younger brother.

Text: What Jio sees in the Curse of Ice's world of the past...

2 Save the world, Kai.

3 Before Sei's memories of being a demon returns.

4 Before he becomes a true demon.

Title: Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

Chapter 24: Kai and Sei

1 Only you can save the world.

Kirihata Ayumi [ ad]
Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[3]

1 Brother?

2 Are you okay?
3 I'm, I'm fine.
4 It's dangerous, y'know?

5 So I say, but it's okay.
6 You'll be fine if I'm around to protect you.

7 I've told you, I'm not so weak that I need your protection!
8 I know.

9 You're strong.
10 You became a guard so you could protect lots of people, and so you could also reduce the number of people who'd lose their families like us.

[4]

1 But...
SFX bulge

SFX boom
2 Sei!

3 But.

[5]

1 The one who's strong at magic
2 Is me.

3 Right, // Brother?

4 Whatever. // Let's go.
5 (small) hehe
5 Yes, Brother.

6 Yes.

[6]

1 I've decided ten years ago.
2 I would protect lots of people on my own.

3 Kai.
4 Save the world.

5 I'll never waver in this.

6 Brother, // Is this...?
7 Yes.

[7]

1 The Sealing Canyon.
[T/N: just realised 'ravine' sounds better... oh well, consistency]

[8]

1 All'll be well if we sealed the demon here, right?

2 But boy, it sure is a deep canyon.
3 You can't see the bottom of it.

4 Seems like you can never return if you fall in.

5 Brother, you can't fly so be careful, okay?
6 Though I'm okay.

7 Ah, but, I wonder if the demon can fly?

[9]

1 ...If we can just get the demon to fall into the canyon...
2 That alone is enough to start the sealing, and the demon won't be able to climb back out of the canyon... it seems.

3 Huh, really.
4 ---Now.

5 I just have to push him, give him a good shove.

6 That alone is enough--...

7 Won't you push me over, Brother?

[10]

1 I'm the demon, right?

[11]

1 It's fine.
2 The world will be saved if I am sealed away.

3 Farewell, Brother.

4 Be well.

5 SEI

[12]

1 ...Brother.

2 No.
3 No.
SFX drip drip
4 No matter how many times I think about it, it's no.

[13]

1 I won't save the world...!

2 If I have no choice but to sacrifice you,
3 Then I'd rather not save the world at all.

4 You mean more to me than anything in the world...!

[14]

1 Aw, Brother, you really are useless.

2 S-shuddup.
3 That's why,

4 Brother's a useless person, that's why,
5 I will protect him.

6 Brother will protect me, right?

[15]

1 Yeah!

2 Truth is...
3 My memories as a demon had returned a long time ago.

4 My powers too.

5 That's why my Brother
6 Now then, let's go.

[16]

1 Had saved the world.
2 Hm?

3 Brother, you look like a kid who's about to cry.
4 Shuddup, don't look at me! You! Walk ahead!

5 Yes, yes.
6 Back then,

7 If he didn't stop me when I was about to fall into the canyon...
8 I would have destroyed what these humans called their world.
9 I would have wiped out all of humanity.

[17]

1 I won't destroy the world unless you betray me.
2 I won't let it return to the same world as ten years ago either.

3 What're we going to do from now on, Brother? We turned all of mankind against us.
4 Not all of them.

5 I'm on your side.
6 I'll always be.

[18]

1 Yeah.

2 As long as you remain true to me, you'll continue saving the world.

3 Or so I thought at that moment in time...

2 A cat corpse?!

3 I killed it.

Kirihata Ayumi

[3]

1 Why?
2 Hm?

3 It got run over by a carriage...
4 It was dying... // And I didn't want it to suffer...

5 I see.
6 Well then, let's bury it.

[4]

1 Sei, help me dig the hole.

2 Kai, why're you home so early today? Are you out of a job?
3 How rude! // I'm off duty, off duty, you hear me!

4 So they're brothers? They get along well.

SFX drift

5 Woah, // It's snowing.

SFX fall fall

[5]

1 It's summer already, huh.

2 ...But I don't remember when summers used to be hot.

3 That's because you don't have any memories from ten years ago.
4 But until ten years ago, summers were hot.

5 I'm glad there aren't anymore summers.
5 (text) Does anyone even like the heat?
6 Heat has its nice points as well.

SFX zip

SFX shhhhh shhh

8 Unusual weather.
9 Ten years ago.
10 As expected,
11 The demon---

[6]

1 ---What...?
2 Just now...

3 Sei, are you being bullied by your friends?
4 Not really.

5 You gotta hit them back if they hit ya!

6 But I'm not weak like Brother, so I can't really hold back very well.
7 Huh?!

8 Sei, you just said something absolutely inexcusable.

9 I can't hold back?
10 No!

[7]

1 I'm said to be the strongest amongst the city guards, y'know?!

2 ...
3 You don't believe me?!
3 (text) You're giving me that nasty smile!

4 I believe you.

5 But ever since the seal on the demon broke ten years ago, there have been more and more magical beasts, and they're becoming

increasingly aggressive...
6 If you're a city guard, then it's dangerous no matter how strong you are.

7 I don't want Brother to run into any danger, so---...

SFX Heh...

SFX pull
8 ?

[8]

1 Thanks.

2 As expected, it really is nice to have family. // You'll try your best at everything for their sakes.

3 Brother,
4 But I'm...

5 You're my younger brother.

6 Even though we're not blood-related...

7 ...The day the demon seal broke ten years ago was hell.
8 I was still a kid back then so I couldn't protect anyone, but...

[9]

1 I rescued you, a young child.

2 You... and this city are my purposes in life.

3 Brother...

4 I, too, // am really glad I'm your br...

4 Man, this sure is nerve-wrecking.

5 Ah, Sei? // You want to appoint him as a guard for his great efforts? // But I don't want him to get into dangerous stuff.

[14]

1 Welcome home, brother. Rather late tonight?
2 I got summoned by his Holiness.

3 Eh...
4 He has ordered that we head off on a journey the very next day.

5 You? // A journey?
6 You're coming too.

7 His order is as follows:

8 Seal the demon,
9 Save the world.

[T/N: save the cheerleader, save the world heh]

[15]

1 The closer we get to the sealing canyon, the more monsters there are, huh.
2 Looks... like it.

3 Brother, are you okay? // Don't push yourself, you're frail after all, brother.
4 I'm not pushing myself, y'know. // And I'm not weak!

5 Haha.
6 But the monsters are gonna go away if we seal the demon, right?

[16]

1 Yeah.
2 The world will revert to what it was like before the demon seal was broken...

3 All right! Let's move on.
4 Ah, wait, brother!

[17]

1 "You're frail after all, brother"... huh...

2 No, // Sei.
3 You're wrong.

4 It's impossible for normal humans to freeze an ice beast with magic, see...
5 The only thing that can pull it off is...

6 Only magical beasts are capable of freezing magical ice beasts.

7 And there is only one species that takes on a humanoid form.

1 If you wish to obtain the power to defeat the masked man within a short span of time, you must draw out your own abilities to their very limits...
2 I shall assist you with this.

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

3 However, this process may result in your death...
4 And should you survive this process, you may still not be the masked man's match.

5 With this in mind, are you still prepared to undertake this trial?

1 I do!
2 Naturally.
Text Putting their lives on the line---...!!

1 Excellent.
2 Look into my eyes, the three of you, // I shall place you in the world of illusions and find out your respective abilities.

3 ! // Wait! Rin's...
4 I'll do it.

5 I... want to become stronger too.

6 It is her wish.
7 And not because those around her want to.

[4]

1 Girl, open up yourself to the illusion.
2 All right?

3 Okay.

4 Well then, let us begin.

[5]

1 Boy.

2 Azaard?

[6]

1 Boy.

2 You possess two curses, am I right?

3 Yup.

4 I shall school you on how to use your two curses, fire and ice,
5 Without them cancelling each other out.

6 I can use them a little.
7 But I always end up falling asleep...

8 Far from it.
9 That was simply the consequence of the curses cancelling each other out.

[7]

1 It is the power from them cancelling out- you are not using them.

2 In order to use them without them cancelling each other out, you must obtain the agreement of the two curses, fire and ice.
3 However, not only have you not obtained their agreement, the curse of ice harbours great dislike for you.

4 Agreement? Dislike?
5 Then it's almost like---
6 Boy, you should have sensed this.

[8]

1 Curses have personalities.

2 There are many ways curses are born, but they all have one point in common.
3 And that is, there is always a person's strong feelings involved...

4 And thus, they are obstinate.

5 Curses are simultaneously humans, magical beasts, as well as magic itself.
6 They cannot be classified into any single category.

[9]

1 Currently, the curses do not devour your lifespan.

2 Let me ask you once more.
3 Despite this, do you still seek power?

4 Yes!

5 Then let us proceed

SFX whoosh
6 !

[10]

1 To the world of the curses...

2 Eh,
3 What?

4 Ah...

5 There are two paths?
6 Do they lead to the curse of fire and curse of ice...?

[11]

1 This has to be the curse of ice's.

2 The curse of ice harbours great dislike for you.

3 In that case, I should first visit--...

4 Ice.

5 I don't really understand why he hates me, but
6 If it's something I did, then I should hurry up and apologise.

7 Hmph,

8 So it never crossed his mind... that it might be because the curse of fire is on his side?
9 Interesting.

5 Why, // Why didn't you kill them?

6 'Why'...? // Kill who...?

7 Are these the curse of ice's memories?
8 Kill

9 Kill.

10 Kill everything!!

[16]

1 ?!

2 Where's this...?
3 Could it be

4 The Curse of Ice's...
5 Past?

6 You're terrible!

[17]

1 Why'd you kill it?!

2 It's just a kitten!
3 So cruel!

4 So it's true that ice magic users are cold-blooded, huh!

5 Oi, stoppit.
6 He might finish us off as well.

7 We should stay away from these kindsa people. // Let's go.

11 I thought a lot. I thought about the what-might-have-beens.
12 What if Iregaura died, but that guy was still alive...
13 Then I...

1 I'd want to kill him.

2 It wouldn't be for Iregaura's sake.

3 Think about it, what if,

4 What if,

6 And started wanting to murder people in my hatred, what would I think...

7 Iregaura would be sad.

8 That's why I...

9 I won't.
10 I won't kill.

11 Magic isn't a tool for fulfilling our own desires.

[15]

2 That is a deep answer,

1 Ah...

2 Saza?

4 Wha... // Why..?

[17]

1 You were shown an illusion by Azaard.
2 Eh...
3 Illusion?

4 Back then, when we got surrounded by white light for a moment.
5 He threw in the illusion when 'giving us power' or whatnot, so it's quite hard to notice.

6 Ah...

7 Normally, people's judgement weaken when put under an illusion.

8 Many lost themselves to the power, but...

9 So, what happens now?
10 That illusion must've been a test or something, right?

Kirihata Ayumi

The two of them are my dearest friends.

[ad]

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

1 Following Oribiretis, Ruwell too falls...
2 It's the same as Oribiretis...!

3 Then, the Ruwellians...?!

4 Well, they're probably dead.
5 It's what most people would think.

6 But, that mist---...

[3]

1 Squirt.

2 You were in the mists of Oribiretis.
3 What was it like in there?

[4]

1 Anyone and everyone who how a country was

"annihilated in one night" would think the same.
[T/N: i.e. anyone who saw the annihilation would

automatically assume all the people are dead]
2 Even if that were the case, no one knows

what is the mist that surrounds the country.

3 No one except for her---
4 Inside that mist-...

5 Were the feeling of lots of people.

6 I looked for Gin. But,
7 I didn't find...

[5]

1 I couldn't find a single person.

2 ...

3 Couldn't find--...

4 T-then, does this mean that there might

still be
5 Some people alive in that white mist for

both Oribiretis and Ruwell?

6 Sure is posible.

[6]

1 Thing is, it's more profitable to conquer

than to destroy a country...

2 ...

3 Lemme tell you another possibility.
4 Okay.

5 It's possible that white mist // Works in a

similar way as the Parnoas capital's system.

6 ...What do you mean?
7 You remember how the Parnoas capital corrals

up magic at its centre, yeah?

8 So it might just be possible... That you can

use that mist to absorb the magic of the people

inside it.

[7]

1 ...!

2 If that's the case, then it also explains

Gin's overwhelming magic.

3 Then we've got to save them...!
4 You know it's useless to try. We can't even

enter it.

5 Moreover, there's no way we can match up to

Gin as we are now.

6 ...Then, what should we do...?

7 ...I wanna check out something. // Come

along.

[8]

1 I knew it...

2 Knew what?
3 Even though we're looking over such a wide

area, I don't sense any of that powerful magic of

Gin's.

4 In other words, they've vacated the area in

this short span of time.

5 Yeah...

[9]

1 Recall Oribiretis.

2 Who knows where he was, but after wiping out

that area, HE didn't make a move for several months.

3 Likely he's storing up his strength in his

hidey-hole.
[Lit: ...strength somewhere]

4 Maybe it's like how I get sleepy whenever I

use the curses.

5 Anyhow, this means we've got time on our

hands.

[10]

1 To polish up our plans.

2 Plans?
3 There's still hope yet.

4 Even if Sheriano, who's lived for centuries,

doesn't know about that black magic, there's a

chance that someone who's lived for three thousand

years might know something about it.
5 There's someone that old...? You know him?

[11]

1 It's the person who cursed me with

immortality.

[12]

1 Are you sure this is the right place?
Lit: is that person really in a place like

this?

2 An island... Far away from civilisation...
3 It's the person who cursed me with

immortality.

4 Would someone like that even listen to us?

5 Over there.

[13]

1 What rare guests.

[14]

1 Grown weary of your immortality already,
Lit: already giving up on your immortality?
2 Sazaai'Aries?

3 Don't be ridiculous,
4 Azaard.

[15]

1 Though there's something I want to

discuss...
2 I refuse.

3 ...I haven't said a thing?

4 It's impossible.

5 You cannot win against that person.

6 !!

[16]

1 So you saw right through us, huh.

2 But why're you so certain that we can't win?

3 Immortal or not, the weak remain weak.

4 Now leave.

5 OH, really, okay... You really think we'd

say that?

6 Saza...

7 Then

[17]

1 Defeat me.

2 I'll grant you your wish if you can do that.

Text Er... This seems rather... Impossible...

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...

Chapter 18: Unexpected Power
Kirihata Ayumi

They have things they cannot speak of...

[ad]

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

Jio and the others are lying in wait in the ravine to catch Gin in a pincer attack, but...

1 Really...

2 So that's how it is...

3 I have a general idea of things now.
4 There's an apprentice senior to you called Gin...

5 And you don't know // If he's the same person as Gin Taxibises.
6 ... Yeah...

7 ... I'm not sure it's definitely a lie anymore...
8 But I don't want it to be true.

9 Iregaura and I didn't contact each other that often. That's why...

[3]

1 It wouldn't be unusual even if he hadn't told me about this 'Gin' apprentice.
2 However, there's something odd about this.

3 In any case, there's no way of finding out now.
4 You understand this, don't you...?

5 ...

6 Well then, let us conceal ourselves.
7 Then we shall battle...

8 Ms. Sheriano.

[4]

1 If we get get sucked into that black magic...
2 The people who get sucked in die... right?

3 ...
4 Yes, probably.

5 If it truly is the dark arts...

[5]

1 Weird.

2 They're too relaxed.

3 I thought they'd at least made some sort of preparation against a pincer attack, but... They didn't even send scouts ahead of them. It's like they're completely unguarded.
4 Is this a show of absolute confidence...? Or do they have something hidden up their sleeve?

5 It'd be nice if they were so overconfident they became negligent, but still...

[6]

1 If it truly is the dark arts...

2 I don't know about the dark arts.
3 I don't have a clue about the type of magic that black magic is.

4 This person
5 Probably knows something about it.

6 If it's not the dark arts, then what could it be?

7 I...

8 Can't say for sure that that person's not Gin, so...
9 I keep thinking it'd be nice if those people sucked up by that magic didn't die.

10 How selfish of me--...

[7]

1 Jio,

2 They're coming.
3 Are you ready?

4 Yes!

5 That's right! This isn't the time to be thinking about things.

6 A lot of people will die if we fail here.

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[3]

1: Sure is the worst outcome possible.

2: Even though the Ruwell army was annihilated, the Parnoas guys are pretty much unscathed.

3: As for us, the only thing we've done is run away.

4: It's my fault.

5: I underestimated them.

[4]

1: That is probably a type of dark arts, but...
2: I've never seen anything on that scale...

3: Even someone like you... who's lived for centuries?
4: Yes...

5: There are limits to humans' magic, and yet it doesn't seem like he's bound by them...

6: ...So we're all out of tricks.

7: ...

8: Wait!

[5]

1: There must be something we can do!

2: I think Saza noticed it as well, but that magic can only suck up things immediately in front of it.

3: So, if we can attack him on both sides somewhere...

4: ...There certainly is a ravine.

[6]

1: A map's appeared.
2: If the Parnoas army continues advancing straight towards the Ruwell capitol, they should arrive at this ravine...

3: We can catch them in between one unit responsible for blocking the exit and a unit that'll attack from behind---...
4: Hold on.

5: Suppose we really ambush them there, then the guys at the front are gonna die, y'know.
T/N: lit: attack them there

6: Every single person here appreciates the power of that magic, right? // It's more likely than not that the frontal unit will get sucked up before the attack from behind can ev...
7: I'll do it.

[7]

1: I'll do it.

2: ...Jio.

3: If it's my magic, then I can buy us some time, even if I'm put up against that person's black magic.

4: But your magic can't defend against the lightning.

5: It's too dangerous.

6: In that case, why don't I come along?

[8]

1: I can stop that lightning.

2: Lord Sheriano...

3: There's simply no way I would stand by one side and do nothing after disgracing myself, is there?

4: Worry not.

[9]

1: Your Excellency.

2: Might it not be risky to continue marching straight on? // Up ahead of us is a ravine...

3: It's possible that the people who we let slip are lying there in ambush---...

4: No matter.

5: It makes no difference.

[10]

1: Here's
2: The ravine exit...

3: He's probably coming, that person...
4: That Gin...

4: Yes.

5: Though that princeling doesn't let it show on his face.

6: They're here.

[12]

1: Where? I don't see anything yet.
2: I've got good eyes.

3: Our opponents should be well aware of the possibility of an ambush...
4: Even so, they haven't altered their path...

5: Perfect.
6: Let's give it a shot.

7: You are a brave child.

[13]

1: I am?

2: You witnessed that magic for yourself, but even so, you readily volunteered to confront it head-on.

3: I'm glad that that child's... Iregaura's first and last apprentice is someone like you.

4: ...
5: ... Um...?

6: First and last...?
7: Iregaura has a policy of not taking in apprentices.

[14]

1: I've heard a little about you from Iregaura in the past.

2: Iregaura took in only one apprentice...
3: You, Jio.

4: ...
5: ... Only... one?

6: ... Gin's...
7: Gin? // Gin Taxibises? What about him?

[15]

1: No...

2: ... Ah...

3: Er...
4: Um...

5: That's wrong.

6: ?

7: Wrong, // wrong.
8: That's not true...

9: There's a senior apprentice besides me...?
Lit: I have a senior apprentice, but that sounds misleading

[16]

1: I didn't know that.

2: Or at least, I didn't hear about this person.
3: All I know is that Iregaura has one apprentice:

4: Jio,
5: Just you.

Chapter 29: The Cursed One
Lit: the one in whom the curse resides in

T/N: ugh, katsuyaku

Text (Left): ad

Kirihata Ayumi

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

1: The possessor of the Curse of Gold... Is the world's top magician...
2: And at the moment, the world's top magician is...

[3]

1: I'm the world's best magician?

2: Really? This child? // Reisel, lend me that true sight monocle!
3: All right.

4: Woah, what the, I don't believe this!!
5: ?!

6: Fi, take a look yourself.

7: My, my...
8: Yeah---?

9: What?
10: What the hell...?

[4]

1: This is called a magic true sight monocle, a machine that's capable of seeing the strength of people's magic.
2: The people at Elzion are more or less using the same thing.
2 (text): Though this one's been improved upon

3: It's also able to see things like thermography, as well as the provide readings on magic.
4: As for functions that the Elzion ones don't have, you can conduct a wide-area search on it even without having to look around.

5: By the way, the normal magic reading you'll get off people is around 10.
6: Hmm.

SFX: whirr

[5]

1: ...
2: What's the matter?

3: Isn't this broken?
4: Huh?

5: You said normally the readings would be around 10, right? // But you're totally not in that range.
6: How much are we?

7: 480.
8: 600.
9: 1210.

10: It's just the same as usual.
11: Doesn't seem like it's broken.
12: Eh...

13: Then, the reading I got off him is also...?

14: What's my figure?

[6]

1: 103000.

2: ...
3: Huh?

4: A hundred and three thousand.
5: That's what your magic is when quantified in terms of numbers.

[7]

1: The curse resides in those with strong magical powers.

2: There's also the fact that you're Jio Ruetas' grandson, which definitely makes you the possessor of the Curse of Gold. // Jio Aria.

3: That's why I keep asking, what's this Curse of Gold thing?

4: The Curse of Gold
5: Is...

[8]

1: "A magic that will grant a single wish that could be of anything at all".

2: ...Anything...
3: ... At all...

[9]
1: So, it can even produce enough gold to last me for more than a lifetime?
2: W-well, it's certainly possible.

3: Pretty vulgar, isn't he.
4: ...

5: Ah!

6: The hell, no can do~~
7: What's wrong?

8: All this talk about curses and stuff, it all depends on if I can use magic, right?
9: Then there's no point is there, cuz I can't use magic.

10: And what if I tell you that doesn't have to be the case?

11: Eh...?

[10]

1: People are starting to regain their ability to use magic again.

2: Moreover, magic didn't disappear from the world five hundred years ago...
3: It was simply sealed away for whatever reason, and it seems the this seal is slowly unravelling.

4: The fact that you can use magic with magical tools is proof of this.

5: And magical tools are...?

6: They're a general term for items that facilitate the use of magic. The Elzion people were also using magical tools to attack you, Jio.
[Lit: they're a general term for tools that are used to allow the user to use magic... yeah, I took a bit of a liberty here, but it still sounds retarded]

[11]

1: It shouldn't be strange for you to be able to use simple magic...
2: Huuuh?

3: Magic?
4: But there's no way I can use it.
5: Cherie, please fetch the magical tool we completed just the other day.
6: Okay.

7: Hm? Wait.
8: That was...

9: Professor, are you giving that to him?
10: He'll need it to protect himself, won't he.

11: Taadaa!!

[12]

1: What's this?
2: A ring?

3: Please try it on.
4: The index finger of your dominant hand will do.

5: So,
6: What IS this?

7: Essentially, it's the same system as the Elzion people were using.

8: So I can fire magical attacks with it!

9: It's something you'll need, what with Elzion... no, Ride after your life.

[13]

1: Ride?

2: Ride Varoudia.

3: He's the one who wants to kill you, obtain the Curse of Gold,
4: And become the world's number one magician.

[14]

1: Hmm...

2: He must be troubled, being told everything in one go...
3: So he was a fragile child...

[15]

SFX: grin

1: Ueheh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh....

2: I don't see any part of him that's worried at all.
3: ...

4: Heehee
5: Heehyahahaha

6: I don't care how much magical power it has, I can't believe an idiot like that is the owner of the Curse of Gold and the

world's top magician...
7: It doesn't think about anything besides gold...
T/N: yes, it, not he

[16]

1: So you're saying curses can't choose their owners...
2: No...

3: He might seem a vulgar person at first glance, but...
4: I can feel... there's more to him than meets the eye.
Lit: secrets he's keeping to himself

5: What, that thing?
SFX: hee hee hee
SFX: thump thump
6: ...

7: ...
8: Heh heh heh...
9: What the heck?
10: I'm the strongest in the world
11: Crap, I can't stop grinning.

[17]

1: I can use magic with this magical ring,
2: And on top of that, I have some sort of curse that'll grant me anything I want?

3: Ahhhh~~
4: I can't stop trembling...

5: After my life?
6: Bring it on, you fuckers!!

7: [music]
8: ?!

9: [music]
10: Faster than I'd anticipated.
11: What's going on?

[18]

1: Elzion has discovered the passageway that leads here.
2: That Ride might be a fool, but he sure thinks quick on his feet.
3: Heh

4: Heh heh heh heh
5: ?!

6: Hah hah hah hah haaa--
7: I can blast fireballs now.

8: Come... I ain't no rabbit to be hunted!
9: I've become a human hunter!!

[19]

1: Don't you worry, // Magic power 480, 600, 1210!!
2: He's calling us by our numbers?

3: 'Cuz I, the awesome Jio with a magical power of a hundred and three thousand, am here to protect ya!!

4: I don't think that'll be likely.

5: ...Huh?
6: I have given you a magic ring, but there's an upper limit to its use.

[20]

Side text: Being a hundred and three thousand strong is useless... How will the battle next issue turn out?

1: You may have magic of over a hundred thousand, but you can't use it just like that.
2: If you use magic above a certain threshold, the ring will not be able endure the power and break.

3: Moreover, the difference in facilities available means that Elzion is probably more advanced in terms of the development of offensive magical tools...

4: Hey, you guys are gonna be in a bit of a pinch if that Ride guy gets ahold of the Curse of Gold, right?
5: Um, yes...

6: Right! // Let's combine our powers and protect me!!
7: Is there really another side to him...?
Lit: Does he really keep secrets in that head of his...? <-- awkward :/

Chapter 30 Money's most important?

Text: The Curse of Gold is mine~~!!

Kirihata Ayumi

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

Side: The enemy who is targetting the owner of the Curse of Gold, Jio, is arriving at any moment?! Jio declares that everyone should protect him, but...

1: We all agree that I need to be protected...
2: Why don't we have everyone each come up with a plan?

3: Not everyone agrees, but then again you never bothered asking for our opinions.
4: And what's up with that attitude?!

5: If you don't want that Ride dude to kill me and get the Curse of Gold, then isn't it obvious what the conclusion will be? I don't even have to ask.

6: Or do you want me to kneel on the floor and beg?
7: I'll do it as many times as you want if you pay me, y'know?
7 text: I'm cheap
8: You little...!

9: Jio, why do you sell fights...?

10: Why, it's gotta be money! Money!!
SFX: triumphant
[T/N: I hate this SFX]
11:　You gotta protect yourself, but you gotta have money.
身を守るにも金だ

[3]

1: I ain't dying until I get filthy rich using the Curse of Gold!!
SFX: determination
[T/N: yeah, I hate this SFX]

2: Dammit, but if I use the Curse of Gold now, I'm gonna wish that I can protect my Curse of Gold.
3: Jio, are you confusing yourself?

4: ...How vulgar.

5: Raycel seems like he thinks there's something to this child but... // All that's on that child's mind is nothing but his love for money.

6: He's such a fool, yet he's the world's best magician...

7: But...

[4]

1: The professor has an eye for people.
2: Sherry, you should know that yourself.

3: ...
4: I...

5: That's true... // But...
6: It's just a question of time before the Elzion people reach here.
7: We need to switch locations urgently.

8: Fortunately, we have a true sight monocle that can locate their positions...

9: ...Sherry, // Do you remember what Ride's magical power index was at?
10: Um...?

11: Wasn't it 2120?
12: Why'd he ask something so obvious...?

[5]

1: Sherry, Fi.
2: Take Jio with you right now and exit via the A-7 route.

3: Raycel...?
SFX: babump...

4: Aren't you coming along?
5: There's something I have to finish up with here. I'll catch up with you right away, so please, don't worry about me and go.

SFX: babump babump

6: Jio, // Sherry and Fi are strong, but...
7: They're girls... So please protect them.

8: Right,
9: Roger that.

10: Sherry,
11: Fi.

[6]

1: I'll leave Jio in your hands.

2: Under... // stood...

3: Jio, let's go.
4: 'Kay.

[8]

SFX: kaboom

1: Haha, // Hahaha!
2: Hahahaha!!

3: I feel it, // I know it.
4: I can feel it!

5: I should've just done this sooner.

[9]

SFX: creak creak creeeakk

SFX: booom

1: Long time no see, Raycel Erdio.
SFX: step...

2: ...I'd thought that this magic true sight monocle might've been malfunctioning...
3: I'd hoped that to be the case, but...

[10]

1: You've a magical index of fifty-eight thousand.
2: What's with that power, Ride Varoudia?

3: Did you stay back just to confirm it for yourself?
4: A researcher's drive for 'knowledge' sure is weird.

5: I do not deny that.
6: So, your answer?

7: ...Guys with low magical indices use magical tools with tanks, right?
8: Magic accumulates in the tanks... Thanks to this, the weaklings at magic can use magic as well. One of your greatest inventions.

9: That's...
10: No way...

[11]

1: Humans are like tanks.
2: Is it that strange an idea?

3: Impossible...

SFX: squirt

SFX: stab

SFX: seep...

4: Now I've exceeded sixty thousand, haven't I.

[12]

1: Do you think you can pull that off without any consequences?!

2: I'm of a different calibre.

3: I will surpass Jio.

4: No, // I'll kill him before that.

5: I'll stop you.

6: Will you do as warmup?

[13]

1: Now that we've come this far...
2: We should...

3: Be safe?
4: Yes!

5: YOU are safe.
6: But, Raycel...

7: Then I'm gonna hop back for a bit.

8: Wh...
9: What, did you just say?!

[14]

1: Then what did Raycel...!!

2: 'Risk his life to let us get away for'?

3: ...!

4: It's simple.

5: In order, // To protect me and you, right?
T/N: yes, improper English

6: He asked me for a favour. // To 'please protect' you, that's why I accompanied you all the way.

7: But I'd said this: // 'Everyone, combine our powers to protect me'.

[15]

1: I ain't planning to force the burden onto just one person, y'know.

2: So, that's how it is!
SFX: clang

3: Wait...
4: A mo...

5: It won't open?!
6: He must've locked it from the inside!!

7: Then...
8: What idiocy!!

9: By the time he gets back, it'll be too late...!!
10: Raycel stayed behind just to slow them down...!

[16]

1: Raycel's no longer // By my side...

2: ...As I thought, the professor had no intention of leaving that hideout... the laboratory itself standing...

3: Yes, because that was something constructed for the world's top magician.

4: The world's best magician...
5: For that man who doesn't care about all that stuff...!!

6: Doesn't care...
7: Certainly, that may be the case.

8: But I'd like to try and bet on him.

9: Sherry...

[17]

1: Truth is, you actually feel the same way as I do, don't you?

SFX: crack

2: I can't even get warmed up with you.

3: Any last words?

4: Then again, I'm gonna kill off the guys who're gonna hear it.

[18]

1: The secret underground passageway.
2: The underground hideout...

3: ?

4: I do love making arrangements.
T/N: yakusoku has a double-meaning of promise and rule that isn't quite translatable. Most people think of 'promise' without given context, hence Ride's confusion
5: shuup
6: You might say it's almost standard procedure for me...

SFX:

7: Like the arrangement of installing
8: click
9: Explosive devices in the underground hideout?

[21]

1: I love money!

2: There's hardly anything that's more important than money!!
3: Aah, it's 'cuz I'm a money maniac!!

4: But I understand.

5: To those kids, // You're part of that 'anything' that's the exception to money.

6: And you saved me as well.

[23]

3: I gotta do something, somehow or anoth...

4: ?!

5: Jio!!

1: Raycel...

2: Ji...

3: Idiot!!

4: You didn't care...!
5: All you ever thought about was money...!

6: Money...

7: You just thought about money...
8: I hope you got away...

[26]

1: It's because he knew about the value of money...

2: It's because he's that kind of person, that's why...
3: He understood fully... the importance of the things which you can't buy with money.

3: Are you done shopping?
4: Yeah.

5: Uh, what's THAT...?
6: Hm? // This?
Text: To stop the war, to learn about himself, they set off to meet one of the Three Sages... But first, some shopping.

7: This, well... Something like a staff.
8: Staff?!

9: Something I didn't know about again...
10: Well, so I say, but it's specialised for riding on.
T/N: So tempted to translate that as 'surf'...

[3]

1: Riding?
2: Yup.

3: There... we go.

4: I'm gonna have my hands full holding you and the squirt up while flying.

5: Aah, but if you hug the chibi and I hold onto you, then I'll have a hand free.
6: Er... no, that's a little...

7: Well, anyway, climb on behind me.
8: Ah, // okay.

9: Is this all right?
10: Yeah.

11: Sah-shu.

[4]

1: Let's go,
2: Our destination is the lake that straddles the countries' borders!

3: Yeah!

[5]

1: The Parnoas and Ruwell armies are probably facing off somewhere close to the lake that sits between the borders.

2: Armies need water, so it's difficult to think of anywhere else besides here. // There are only a few of us, so if we fly we should be overtake them.

3: The Butterflies of Magic are there as well?
4: Probably yeah.

5: Right then, // if that's the case, then there's something I need to get first.

6: Aah, yes,
7: My driving's kinda bad so watch out.
8: Driving?

[6]

1: Waaaaaahhh...

2: Saza, we're slanting! We're slanting!
Lit: Saza, horizontal! Make us horizontal!
3: Hahaha, you're gonna fall!

4: Y-you better pick us up if we fall off!

[7]

1: That lake?
2: Yeah.

3: T- // There's a lot of people there!
4: Are they the Butterflies of Magic?

5: No, // They're the Ruwell army.

6: The Butterflies of Magic should be there.

[8]

1: They're a lot fewer than the Parnoas or Ruwell armies.
2: It's a sign of their confidence.

3: Because their motto is one of 'few but elite'.

4: Jio, hoist up the blue cloth there.
5: Ah, okay.

6: What does the blue cloth mean?
7: It's signalling that we're not enemies and we have no hostile intentions.

8: But they'll probably get suspicious of us since we've come from the sky, // So let's head down.
9: Okay!

SFX: glide

1: Come.

2: ...

3: Lord Sheriano, I have brought them here.

4: Oh my, my my my, what cute little children.

5: Pleased to meet you.

[12]

T/N: YES, she's a woman and I'm using Lord. There are certain women who use 'Lord', however few they are, and her gender's supposed to be a secret until this page. Of course, I'm open for gender-neutral suggestions.

1: I am Sheriano Verseish.

2: A woman...!
3: Not to mention, she's young...!

4: ...Is the name Sheriano Verseish one that has been passed down the generations?

5: Passed down?

[13]

1: No,
2: I have been the only Sheriano Verseish these few centuries.

3: Immortality...?

4: ?!

5: I simply age at a different speed.

7: Oh goodness,

8: There's no need for that.

9: ...
10: Why?

11: Why?

[16]

1: It's obvious
2: Just by looking at me, right?

2: ...That's some amazing magic, she's many times more stronger than I am...
3: ...Yeah.

5: Think Sheriano's stronger than that masked man?

1: To its north-east... the small country on the upper-right of it is Oribiretis, which is surrounded by Parnoas, and to the bottom-right of Ruwell is Redai-Sorros.

Map: top to bottom: Parnoas // Oribiretis // Ruwell // Redai-Sorros

2: It's sort of different from the map I remember...

3: The next target after Ruwell is probably Redai-Sorros.

4: ... 'Target'...?

5: They want war.

[11]

1: War...

2: Oribiretis was originally on the verge of being absorbed into Parnoas, so this war's strangeness stands out, moreso than the fact that war broke out. However... // This may very well have been intended to create a foothold for invading Ruwell.

3: They're likely to attack Redai-Sorros after Ruwell.

4: Ruwell... Will Redai-Sorros be okay?!

5: If Ruwell gets beaten by Parnoas, we'll go down in no time.
6: ...

[12]

1: However...
2: I don't think the "Butterflies of Magic" guys are gonna just sit this out quietly.

3: Butterflies of Magic...?

4: Putting it simply, Butterflies of magic are...

5: The watchmen of magic. // They're a gathering of the masters of magic.
6: A bunch of people who proclaimed themselves world regulators.

[13]

1: An organisation headed by one of the Three Sages, Cheriano Verseish.

2: Is that person powerful...?
3: It's a rumour, but that person's said to be the most powerful of the Three Sages.

4: Well, // It's because of these guys that our current era hasn't descended into utter chaos.

5: ...But, aren't the Parnoas people aware of this as well?

[14]

1: Exactly.
[T/N: I'd translate it as 'you've hit the nail on its head', but uh, the bubble's kinda small]

2: That's why, we've got to increase the chances of the Butterflies of Magic's victory.
3: ?

4: As allies, we're worth a hundred people, right?

[15]

1: The Butterflies of Magic are a creepy lot, but there's no helping it. // If Redai-Sorros has also become a target, then it's become our problem.
2: Creepy?

3: Watchmen, regulators, what kind of people do you think they are?

4: So they're that sort, huh...
5: But if this goes well, we can find out about that little squirt from the masked man...

5: Moreover, it won't do us bad to demand a favour from the Butterflies of Magic.

6: Why?

7: Being one of the Three Sages means being one of Iregaura's acquaintance, right?
8: So they may very well know something about you.

[16]

1: Is that so...
2: Yes, // There's that...

3: Meeting that masked person was // Scary...
4: And if that person was Gin, then that'd be... // Even scarier...

[17]

1: But I won't get anywhere until I've confirmed it.
2: I will protect Rin, // And fight together with Saza!

3: And I'll find out who I am!!

4: If that person really is Gin,
5: Then I'd want the Gin I remember, the Gin I know to come back.

[18]

1: Just seeing that masked man is enough to make me tremble...
2: He's strong!
3: But-

4: I...
5: I believe the Gin I know is millions of times stronger, so---...

Text: He wants to meet // that smiling Gin one more time...!!

[3]

1: Inverted city...?!
2: You mean...!

3: The thing that appeared when we saw the past through the magical tool...

4: You certainly are a freaking amazing key.

5: ...So, where would that door be? Or is it something that appears using magic?

[4]

1: As for the the key, is it something abstract? Something concrete? We don't know anything at the moment.
2: It's...

3: It's...
SFX: clatter clatter

4: pant
5: pant

6: It...
7-9: pant
10: Is...

[5]

1: The door...
2: Is...

3: It's enough!

4: It's fine, Rin. // Don't say it.

5: Jio...

6: You don't have to tell us...
7: Sorry for making you remember something painful...

8: Indeed.

[6]

1: It's not like there's anyone else to ask if we can't find out anything from you.
別にお前に聞かなくても、聞ける相手はいるし

2: And besides, we're not through with those guys yet, so they'll probably continue coming after you.

3: Saza...
4: You mean...

5: Why don't we go meet
6: Gin Taxibises?

[7]

1: Who is this Gin Taxibises who's currently in Parnoas?
2: Is it the Gin Jio knows? The one the squirt knows? // Or is he entirely someone else?

3: We won't start getting answers until we've met the actual man himself.

4: ...
5: I // Suppose...

6: Ah!

7: Rin, you don't have to go. // Just wait...
8: ...I'll go.

[8]

1: I'm going...
2: As well...

3: Okay, // all right then.

4: Let's go together.
5: All three of us.

6: Okay...

[9]

1: So this is Parnoas?
2: They give off a different feel compared to the streets of Saza's country.

3: Jio, how're you holding up?
4: Eh? // I feel fine?

5: Ah!

6: Come to think of it, that's strange, it's not even been a day...
7: Normally, after using the curses, I'd sleep much longer.

8: This is the kind of country we're in.
9: ?

10: Everything surrounding the city centre has become constructed for magicians.
11: The buildings, // Everything.

[10]

1: Huuh, isn't that convenient? So Saza's country doesn't do it?
2: Our country has a name, it's Redai-Sorros...

3: Redai-Sorros is indeed doing the same as well, but nowhere as blatantly as here.

4: Why?
5: Where do you think this magic comes from?

6: Eh?

7: No matter who they are, every human possesses a weak magic.
8: The royal capital gathers this magic at its centre.

9: It sucks up magic from the people, right up to those living on the country's borders.

[11]

1: Wha...

2: What's up with that...!

3: Those who don't live in the capital's centre... the non-magicians, just who do they take them to be...?!

4: That's why magicians are very precious.

5: !

6: You were able to become a magician with comparatively less effort, // So you probably don't realise...

[12]

1: More so than ten thousand infantry, or a thousand calvary.
2: That's how rare a magician is.

3: Besides, people won't die from just having a little magic taken from them.
4: No country can exist without its citizens.

5: ...But,

6: I don't like the idea...
7: Of something like this...

[13]

1: This isn't something that can be so easily classified to be good or evil. // Don't think too deeply into it.
2: ...

3: More relevant to us now is that, you should be grateful about the fact that magicians can be found at the centre of the capital.

4: Gin should be over there.

5: What's happening?

[14]

1: Wait, Jio, squirt.

2: I don't know if it's Gin or not, but someone is coming out...

[15]

1: G... // Gin...?

[16]

1: That's... the same mask as the one we saw that man wearing in Jio's past?

2: No, it's a little different...

3: At any rate, this means we won't be able to tell if that's the Gin Jio knows or otherwise.

4: But...

5: One thing is clear...!

[17]

1: You'll show me the proof.
みせつけてくれるじゃないか
2: You just need a little push, right?
ちょっとは押えろよな
3: There's no mistaking it...!

[18]

1: This magic...

1: I'm sort of immortal, see.

2: ...!
3: My face is a result of that as well, though... Truth is, I had a little 'curse' cast on me when I was a kid.

4: So an attack like that? It's like getting bitten by a bug.

5: It's...
6: Already closed up...

7: Okay.
8: Thanks...

[6]

1: Jio!

8: It's not true.

1: I isolated myself...
Lit: became alone

2: I caused misfortune to those around me...
3: I couldn't be together with anyone.

4: By that, you mean you disappeared from them because anyone close to you will die?

5: That's why it doesn't matter to me.
6: Because I can't die.

3: Why are you people like this?

4: Tricking people, hurting people...
5: Killing people...

1: WHY'RE YOU USING MAGIC LIKE THIS?!

2: Humans use magic to fulfil their own wishes.

[15]

1: And if we were to divide these wishes into good and evil, the ones people think of as evil are stronger.
2: It's only natural.

3: The same goes for you.
4: You put your hatred first, and abandoned that girl so you could kill us.

2: Gin Taxibises...

3: Gin Taxibises might turn out to be the Gin I know...
4: But...

5: You say he's family, but what are you to him?
6: A younger sister? // His daughter?

SFX: shock

7: He... made me...
8: His... younger sister...

9: He made her...?
10: So you're saying you're not related by blood.

1: I was... always alone...
2: Gin saved me, and said he'd take me into his family...

3: Gin had someone who like a younger brother to him so,
4: He said, 'won't it be nice to have a little sister?'...

5: He said... 'Won't it be nice to have lots of brothers?'...

6: But there are both pros and cons to having many brothers.

7: ...You know,

[4]

1: Right now? I'm looking for someone called Gin too.

2: I'm not sure if it's the same person as the Gin Taxihibes you know.
3: But I think of that person as my older brother.

4: That's why, if the Gin you and I know are the same person, then...

5: We're both siblings, right?

6: ...Big brother?

6: You'd be able to get information from Parnoas as well, right?
7: ..wrong.

8: That's wrong.

9: That person
10: Is not Gin.

11: That person...?

[7]

1: Is she saying there's yet another person called Gin?
2: But, with the surname Taxibises...?

3: There're at most three Gins.
4: Or is it someone else...?

5: Here should be fine, right?

6: Saza, is there special about this place?
7: Nah.

8: I'm just a little concerned.

[8]

1: Because you people would attack us, even in a crowd, right?

2: You noticed us?

3: I suppose I should say... As expected.

[9]

1: Sazaai'Aries Barlow Ortegue-Rosche Redai-Sorros...
T/N: no matter how I romanise it, it still don't look right. Excuse the pseudo French/English/hyphens/I don't know what going on.

2: You are his Royal Highness...
3: Am I correct?

4: Saza's real name...

5: Is so long!!

6: I'm taking a break from my princely duties at the moment.

7: So I'm just your regular old Sazaai'Aries the Magician,

see.
8: So don't call me 'His Royal Highness', yeah?

9: Then again, I don't mind being addressed as 'Sir'?

10: Well then, Magician Sazaai'Aries.
11: Let's go straight to the point.

[10]

1: Please hand over that girl to us.

2: Eh...?

SFX: grip

[11]

1: Rin?
2: Why?!

3: This little squirt, huh...?

4: Back then, I'd thought that my magic had been repelled by the fog...
5: But could it actually be because of her own ability?

6: Now then, Rin. Come over here.
7: This is Lord Gin's wish as well.

8: No...

9: I don't want to!
10: That person's not Gin!

[12]

1: Saza, don't tell them we're going hand Rin over or anything.
2: Naturally.

3: Now I've got even more things to ask this squirt.
4: Including questions about herself...

5: It's all right, Rin.

6: Don't worry.
7: Because we'll protect you.

[13]

1: My, my...
2: Is this a breakdown in negotiations?

3: What a pity.

4: In that case, shall we begin?

5: Aah, sorry.

[14]

1: I got off on a false start.

2: Kyaaaaaa

[15]

1: Saza...

2: Now this has turned into an international problem, hasn't it?
3: Dead men can't talk, and he himself said he was just a magician. I don't see a problem with this, do you?

SFX: slide

[16]

1: Rin,

2: Stay back.
3: To be on the safe side, keep this on.

4: Because I

SFX: clang

5: But I don't know anything about this country or the situation at the time, so I can't say for sure.

6: So that's why I dunno...

[4]

1: ...You're less stupid than I thought.

2: How'd he come up with that after I said I dunno?

1: So quick to respond...
2: But right now they've only conquered it in name, and it seems they've abandoned it.

SFX: run

SFX: run

1: Eh?!

2: Looks like
3: It's not just any old fog.

4: If that's the case, it's pretty obvious what needs doing.
5: What're you going to do?

6: Simple.

7: I'll just blow it all away.

[9]

SFX: roaaaar

1: !

[10]

1: Someone's there!

2: Baofao---

3: Please make it...

4: !!

[11]

1: ...

2: Ah!

3: Hey! Are you okay?!

[12]

1: Sorry. // Are you hurt?

2: My magic was repelled?

3: ...No,

4: I don't see any magic.

5: I thought it might've been magic because of the fog, but does my reasoning still hold?
6: Hey, kid, why're you someplace like this?

7: ...

8: Doesn't want to talk...
9: ...More importantly, is it simply a case of being too scared to talk, or something more?

[13]

1: Whatever.

2: Also, you look terrible.

3: You're a girl, right?

4: Oh, // You are?

5: ...

6: Right, for now let's get out of this country.
7: Eh?

[14]

1: You look a little better now, huh?

2: Oooohh----

3: Cute! You're so cute!

4: Let's move onto the next place.

5: Eh? // Where?

6: You said it before. You wouldn't want to eat rocks, right?

[15]

1: Don't hold back, just help yourself.
2: It's amazing!

3: There we go.

[16]

1: Saza, you sure are generous!

2: My older brothers are forever harping on about it, see.
3: About how, as royalty, we should treat our people well.

4: Well, my real goal is to obtain some kind of information from this girl, but...

5: Saza, you've got older brothers!
6: How many siblings do you have?

7: I'm the one who's giving out my info. Man, what to do.
8: Don't talk to me, talk to her.
9 text: Ah
9: Oh yeah!

10: Hey,
11: Why were you in that country?

[17]

1: Ah! We didn't introduce ourselves! // I'm Jio.
2: He's Saza.

3: You don't have to say it if you don't want to, it's fine!

4: ...
5: I... // Was...

6: Looks like she's answering.

7: Looking for... // my family...
8: I had heard that they were...
9: Here...

[18]

1: Saza, it's okay to look for this girl's family, right?

2: Even if I say no, you'll do it, right?
3: I still haven't gotten anything from the kid, so this is perfect.

4: What're the names of your family? // Ah, and tell us your name as well!

5: ...
6: ...Gin Taxibites.

7: I am
8: Rin Taxibites.

Text: No way, Gin's family?! // Why on earth was she there?

Chapter 7: Saza's Punishment

Guilty? Innocent?

Kirihata Ayumi

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

1: A death penalty for Saza---?!

2: W... wait, but...

3: Saza just used it to see my past...
4: The one to blame should be---...

SFX: twitch

5: Don't move.

Text: The magical tool that was broken when used to see Jio's past turned out to be the 'national treasure'...

[3]

1: Y- // Your Majesty...

2: For the crime of destroying the national treasure, "Kakomi".
3: I will carry out the punishment on Sazaai'Aries.

[4]

1: Where's this...?
2: A dimension my father created out of magic.

3: Basically, the only person who's free to come and go as he pleases is Father.

SFX: rip rip rip

4: Look.
5: Speak of the devil.

[5]

SFX: gulp

1: Um.

2: I'm really sorry for breaking the national treasure!
SFX: bow

3: Heh.

[6]

1: Hahaha.
2: Hahaha.

3: ?

4: Saza,
5: Your friend's a pretty interesting one.

6: We're not really friends.
7: Eh.
SFX: shock

8: Ah, but what exactly makes a friend a friend...? // I'm not all that sure myself...?
9: Well, I do agree that he's an interesting fellow.

SFX: hehe
10: All the same, seems like you've taken an interest in him.

11: ...Mr King, are you not angry?
12: No.

[7]

1: After all, it was this stupid son of mine who broke it rashly.
Text: Don't just decide that on your own.
2: Besides, it isn't strange for that ancient thing to fall apart.

3: They both said the same thing // Maybe because they're father and son?
4: So, Father, what're we gonna do about my punishment?

5: !

6: ...

7: You will be treated as a prince, but you will be under house arrest for three months.
8: Right.

9: Thank goodness, it wasn't a death penalty.
SFX: sigh...

10: But you think I'll be a good boy and stay home for three months?
11: Never.

[8]

1: However, the equivalent punishment would be...

2: ...I see. Saza, am I right in saying this was intentional?

3: ?

4: And just as I was wondering why you'd report this so honestly when you usually slack off on your duties, it comes down to

this.

5: ?
6: ?

7: Ohhh, sorry, Jio.

8: And sorry again, but please take care of my foolish son, Sazaai-Aries.
9: Eh?!

[9]

1: His aim is to get freedom by intentionally getting punished.

2: I don't know his reasons for this, it's probably something to do with you, right?

3: ...!

4: Anyway, Saza, // I hereby pronounce that your punishment will be that, for three months, you cannot enter the palace, and

you will be stripped of your special powers as a member of the royal family and as a Winged Knight.
T/N: By powers I don't mean magical powers, I mean priviledges
5: As your Majesty commands.

SFX: sigh---
6: It'd be nice if Saza could keep his special powers, but...

7: This boy will do whatever he wants, powers or otherwise.
8: Haha.
9: ...

10 text: Before I forget
10: Jio,
11: Take it easy today.

[10]

1: Go on a tour around the capitol. // Though it'll be awkward for you to wander around the city in broad daylight...

2: All right.
3: Taking it easy and stuff...
4: I want to see the capitol!

5: ...

6: Wow---!

[11]

1: The capitol sure is a busy place!
2: ...

3: Wow, what's that?!
4: Say, you aren't at all interested about we saw in your past?

5: I am! // I'm super interested!
6: But I also want to see the capitol!
7: ...

[12]

1: Ooh--

2: Boy, is that a license?
3: Ah, // Yup!

4: You're quite something even though you're so young.
5: Give it your all!

6: Thank you!

7: Hehe.

8: Ah-

9: Come to think of it, I don't remember Iregauna wearing anything like this on him.
10: Doesn't he have a license from another country?

[13]

1: Licenses from different countries come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
2: Ohh--!

3: Then, Gin must be the same.

4: Gin...

5 Text: Ah
6: Gin
7: Is my senior apprentice.

8: Hmm,
9: So maybe that's why we didn't learn anything about him when we went to your past...

10: That looks delicious! // One of this please!
11: Coming up!
12: ...

[14]

1: 1800 taal.
2: Eh?!

3: I don't have enough...
sfx: rustle

4: We'll take two.

5: Here.
6: T-thank...

7: One moment please, sir. // I can't possibly find enough change for such a large sum of money.
8: Keep the change. // Let's go, Jio.
9: Eh, // Wai-
10: Okay.

11: That was yummy.

12: Thank you, Saza.
13: No problem.

[15]

1: Here! This is all the money I have.
2: I'll pay for the rest later!

3: I don't need---...

4: Sigh--- I said I wanted to become a rich man, but---

5: Iregaura... I'm poor, aren't I?

6: What's with this?

7: Eh? It's just what I took from our place.
8: These coins are very rare nowadays, so if you hold onto it it'll become money.

9: Really?!
10: That's why I'll take only one, and the rest can go back to you.

11: So they're rare---
12: ...

[16]

1: This coin was made 300 years ago...
2: And... // The past we saw was at least 40 years ago.

3: I knew it, there should be something special about this guy after all...

4: Jio, where's this 'Gin' guy at now?

5: Um, I dunno... // Gin's always very busy...
6: I haven't met him for almost three years...

7: So as far as we're concerned, the only clue we have is that masked man...

8: !

9: As I recall, there's a small country to the north-west where it's a custom for magicians to wear masks.

[17]

1: So...

2: If we go there, we can find out something about my past...?
3: Possibly.

4: But...

5: But?

6: A few months ago...
7: That country went to war against its neighbour, Parnoas.

8: No, war... doesn't quite nail it on its head.
9: Because the entire country was annihilated... by just a single magician.

[18]

1: Just one...

2: Everyone... was killed...?
3: Who knows?

4: In one night, an entire nation disappeared like smoke...
5: No matter how many times we investigate this peculiar event, we can't obtain any more information besides what I've told

you.

6: The only other thing we know is the name of that magician.

7: His name is

8: Gin Taxibises.
9: Sure is a coincidence, isn't it? The same name as your senior.

Text: He doesn't believe it's pure coincidence... // Can it be that the gentle Gin is...?!

7: Ashitaba-kun, are you okay...?!
8: Sensei!!

[9]

1: As long as Motoyoshi-kun rejects the byouma whole-heartedly, I can drag out it out with my power.

2: However... Motoyoshi-kun seems to have // Accepted the byouma right now.
3: If someone depends too strongly on the byouma, it may be difficult to chase out the byouma just with my power alone.

4: No... No way... // Then I'll keep getting chased like this, forever...?!
5: No... // Motoyoshi-kun's 'darkness in the heart'... If we can understand what it is, we could do something... // But for

us to achieve that,

7: ...
8: Mi... // Mimasaka-kun...

[10]

1: All right. // I'll come along.
2: I... can kinda guess where he is at the moment.

3: You better help him. // Motoyoshi...

4: Of course.

5: Found you.

1: Motoyoshi-kun.

3: This kid... and that fucking brat over there // What... kind of 'secret' do you share...?!

4: Eh?!
5: That 'something'... This boy cannot possibly now // What is it...?!

6: You know, this boy...!! // He doesn't know what it is.
7: Not a clue.
8: The fact that he doesn't know... // Can't be forgiven!!

9: How tragic~~~...
10: How vexing...
11: All this boy is left with now // Are the ruins of his // memo- //-ries

[13]

1: Do you really feel that way?

2: Motoyoshi-kun... Would your friendship break up // Over something so trivial like 'secrets'...?

3: No, Sensei. // Motoyoshi's just been tricked into thinking that.

4: Snap outta it, Motoyoshi!! // Duncha listen to what that bastard says!!
5: Or are you gonna just ignore what I say, huh?!?

[14]

1: ...Hey, // Hey!
2: Who's up there? // Or maybe it's a new species of cicada?

4: Boy!! Is this how you repay me?! // With this strong-minded attitude of yours...?!
Lit: with these strong thoughts

5: Micchan has always trusted me... // I'm the one who had doubts...
6: THAT'S betrayal.

7: Motoyoshi!

[16]

1: You've done a good job chasing her out yourself...?

2: You can leave the rest
3: crackle crackle
4: To Sensei.

5: Cu...! // Curse you...!!
6: Cuuuuuuurse yoooooooouuuuuuuuu

7: You don't know everything about him!! // He's not devoted to you... // You can't even know what's on each other's minds.
8: How is this friendship?! // How is this love?! // How is there a bond between you?!?

9: 'Trust' is what ties everything together.
10: You're the one who doesn't understand. // Now... Let me put you to rest.

1: Sorry... Ashitaba-kun. // I mean, you're the one who had it worst in this mess...
2: There's no way just saying 'sorry' is enough to make up for it, right...?
3: Eh?! N... No, // I'm good, really...

4: But, um... if it's okay with you, // I'd like to apologise to you for all sorts of things.
5: So let's go home together today.

11: It's cool! I'm coming along as well.
12: R- // Really~~?!

[19]

1: ...So you see,

2: Micchan back then really was very strange.
3: So for a while I had to restrain myself from laughing whenever I saw Micchan, man that was tough. // Only Micchan could

come up with the idea of using THAT that way.

4: I seriously can't tell if Micchan is very smart or very stupid. // Well, that's what's so Micchan about Micchan. Besides-

5: You gotta be kidding me... // He seriously keep going on and on like this...?!
6: Motoyoshi-kun...
7: Is this your true face...?

8: ...Now that I think about it, I don't have any other proper friends besides Micchan, // So that's why I don't have

anything to talk about besides him.
9: Ashitaba-kun... If it's all right with you,

10: Can we be friends?

11: ...
12: Sure... If... // If you're fine... with that...

Side: Motoyoshi-kun's real motive is to talk more about MIMASAKA-KUN?! Anyhow, another case down!!

EDIT: sorry, I missed out the last page. Added now. Also, another group with a dedicated translator seems to have picked up the project, so I'm dropping this project again.

Long chapter is long, or rather, there's way too much talking going on.

I'll look over it again tomorrow to see if I messed up on anything.

Title: The Shinigami Infirmary
Text: Consultation 3 Ashitaba-kun's long day / Aimoto Shou

[2]

1: Hades-sensei's background?

2: Yes! // Don't you think there're too many mysteries surrounding him?
3: So I thought Ashitaba-kun might know something.

4: Hold it there. // Why would I know anything?
5: Because you're the one who gets along best with Sensei, right?

6: Right?
7: Eh?! // I-I dunno, I guess it might be true but...

8: In that case, Fuji-kun might be the most well-acquainted.
9: I mean, he's always in the infirmary...

10: Hell if I know.
11: Also, don't talk about being friendly with him, it makes me feel sick.

[3]

Big letters: Window-side bed reserved exclusively for Fuji
Right to left:
* MY pillow brought from home
* Cupboard concealing snacks
* Lots of manga
1: Well, it's true that I go to the infirmary everyday.
2: That corner's turning into Fuji-kun's city.

3: Have you asked Mimasaka? // He's the number one victim, isn't he? That... 'thing', you know.
4: Hades-sensei's biggest puzzle's got to be there.

5: Ohhh! Leave it to me!!
6: Y' can ask me anything at all.

7: Mimasaka-kun knows?!
8: Heh... Ya can rely on me, Shinya.
9: So Mimasaka-kun's part of the basketball club...

10: Anyway, his favourite food is ginger-fried pork and twiced-cooked pork.
T/N: twice-cooked pork = hui guo rou, a Szechuan dish
11: Oohh~~
SFX: scritch scritch
12: That's surprisingly normal, isn't it.

13: If it's meat, it's gotta be pork---
SFX: startle
14: Wait, that's all of Mimasaka-kun's info?!
15: I... I'll keep that in mind for now.

[4]

1: Well, we kinda expected this.

2: Isn't it best to just ask the person in...
SFX: flatly
3: If I could do that I'd have done that at the start.
4: Oh... I see...

5: Geez, if that's the case, then we're left with the last resort, aren't we. // Though I don't really feel up to it...
6: Last resort?

7: Late, you're laaate!!
8: wheeze // wheeze
9: ... // You warned me if you were going to dress up like that...
10: "Don't really feel up to it"...?

11: So, must I really be here...?
12: Of course! // If it's just me who'd doing the tailing, won't that make me a stalker?
13: More importantly, take a look!

[5]

1: Oooh!!
2: He's been loitering there for a while now. // Looks like he's aiming for the side dish store to put on the evening sales.

3: This is the kind of stuff you think up of when you were in primary school.
4: I feel kinda bad doing this to Sensei, but I'm a little excited...

SFX: crash
5: Ah! // Hey! Don't break it!

6: He looked at me!!
7: Eh?!
8: This is bad! He so saw us! He's coming! .. // We've been discovered...

9: Oh well.
10: Eh-
SFX: grip

[6]

SFX: shove

1: Wha...

2: Oh...? It's Ashitaba-kun...
3: That was a pretty spectacular fall... Are you okay?
4: !!! // Ah... Se-Sensei?! // Haha, hi, what a conincidence.

5: What the heck?! What's she thinking?
6: Just what on earth am I...
7: turn

8: Get information out of him.

[7]
T/N: er, sorry if it sounds gay, but you're welcome to give suggestions

1: What~~~~~~~~~?!
2: You don't look too good. Are you really okay...? // You must not be well...

3: No, I'm the kind of person who turns pale really easily.
4: A-anyway, Sensei... Um... // Er...
5: ?

6: S-... Seeing as it's such a rare chance for us to run into each other... uh... // Can we spend some time together?
7: I... I want to now more about Sensei!!
8: What the hell am I doing?

9: A student taking interest in me...

10：This is the first time it's happened...
11: First time in my career as a teacher...
12: W-... what should I do? This is freaking me out big time.
SFX: thud thud thud

13: So... What do you want to know? // Feel free to ask anything.
14: O... okay...

15: Um...
SFX: glance

[8]

1: Are you single?

2: Go ask something like this yourself---!!
3: Y... You've turned red this time... // Do you have a flu or cold...?

4: Though frankly, it's obvious even if I don't ask, isn't it?
SFX: hehe
5: I'm sorry, but the idea of him having a woman around him is, y'know.

6: Itsuhito-kun?

7: Ah...

8: Just when I was wondering about the person who's clashing with these surroundings... // So it's you after all.

[9]

Huge text: Wha?!?
1: Are you heading back?
2: Yeah. What a coincidence.

3: The fact that she's talking to Hades-sensei normally means that she's an acquaintance?
4: No... More importantly, what did she just say?
5: "Itsuhito-kun"?! Itsuhito...
6: Isn't "Itsuhito"...

7: My name is Hades Itsuhito.
8: Hades-sensei's first name!!!

9: Er... Um, Hades-sensei.
10: I don't really believe it, but can she be...?
11: ? // Well, of course she is.

12: Ahh, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I. // I am called Mitogawa Chitose.
13: Please treat me well, okay?

14: Ah! H-hello... Pleased to meet you.
15: Her bizarre appearance gives off a strange aura...
16: ...
17: Can she really be Hades-sensei's...?

18: Oh!!!
19: C-come to think of it, Kaburagi-san...

[10]

1: Continue

2: In the first place, how'd I end up in this mess...?
3: Oh yeah, Itsuhito-kun. // I was thinking of discussing things over with you tomorrow, but-

4: You.
5: Eh?!
6: Sorry, but it's fine if I borrow your teacher for a little while, right?
7: Er...
8: Although if you don't mind, I'd be delighted to have you come along...

9: "Discuss things"... With me there?
10: It should be pretty be okay, right...?

11: Oh yes, you must be Ashitaba-kun, right?

12: You know me?
13: Aah... Sorry, I told her about you.
14: A brave user of the infirmary, I hear.

15: S... so they're close enough to discuss stuff like that...?
16: You frequent to the infirmary a fair bit, don't you?
17: I suppose, though, how do I put it...
18: It's because I need to deliver flyers and letters and manga and stuff like that // To a friend of mine who likes sleeping

in the infirmary.

19: Woah there...

[11]

1: Ah yes... is it easier to find it because we're in this neighbourhood?

2: There was something that caught my eye when I passed by here previously... // I want Itsuhito-kun to double-check for me.
3: Something that caught your eye...?

4: There'll only ever be one thing that I'll ask of you.
5: ...?

6: ...

7: wheeze
8: wheeze

9: I see... // So it's this, is it now.
10: Oh? You've found it already?
11: Wh... what're they talking about...?

1: You there... are you all right?

2: ...?! // Ah...
SFX: spin
3: Y... You gotta be kidding me, you're the infirmary... // Why're you...?!
4: A real celebrity, aren't you?

5: You're... hiding something your bag, right? // Is there something inside that'll put you in trouble if it was seen...?

6: ...

7: ...!! // Is all this... is all from the shop...?

8: I... I don't get it myself... // I just have to do it! No matter how many times I steal, it's never enough...
9: E... Even though there's no reason... for me to want to do something like this, // I can't stop myself...!!

[13]

1: I can't stop myself, so I wanted someone to stop me. // But no matter how openly I do it, no one ever notices...!
2: Even if I turn myself in, I'm just treated like a weirdo... // It doesn't matter what I do...!!

3: ...
4: Th... this is...

5: It's a 'byouma', isn't it?
6: ?!
7: It looks like the symptom of the byouma called 'Stealer'. // He's got severe addiction to stealing, and to promote the

addition, he's also got the ability to cloud people's eyes.

8: Is that so.
9: So I was right to entrust this task to you.

10: She knows... Even about the byouma...!
11: What's more, she seems like she's more familiar about it than me.
12: Th... this person's really...

13: Now then...
SFX: menacing
14: You don't have to worry about a thing... Because I'll devour that evil worm in your heart to its very roots...
15: Eek!

SFX: glance

3: Hm?

4: You look like you've got something to say.
5: Eh?!
6: Er, well, not really... // Only... I was a bit shocked...

7: That you knew... about the existence of byouma.
8: Same to you, Ashitaba-kun. // Well, it's what happens when you associate with Itsuhito-kun.

9: Assoc... Eh?
10: Oh, you're back. // Now then... It's about time I take my leave.

11: Oh...? You're going already?
12: My business with you was just that. // Sorry for interrupting your day.

[15]

SFX: pause

1: Ashitaba-kun, come here a moment.

2: Your teacher may look the way he does, but he's a very gentle child at heart. // Please take care of Itsuhito as well.
3: Eh...

4: Until next time.
5: ...

6: What did you talk about...?
7: Ah?! // Oh, it wasn't anything weird! // Just...

6: You're terrible, dumping me back there!!

7: Kaburagi-san...?
8: Oh...!!
9: Crap...
10: I completely forgot about Kaburagi-san...

11: Sensei!!

12: That lady just now...
13: Please tell me what kind of relationship you have with her!

14: Eh?

[17]

1: Where should I begin...? // Ah yes...

2: The two of you have experienced the threat the byouma pose to us... // Well... When I was about the same age as you guys,
3: I too suffered from a byouma.
4: A middle-school Hades-sensei...?

5: I was worried and distressed... and my heart was about to get crushed by it all, but, // But I had people to support me.
6: One teacher and... three friends.

7: She's one of the benefactors I owe my life to from back then.
8: Ohhh. // I thought she'd be like a kid, but she's surprisingly...
9: So she's an acquaintance from way back.

[18]

1: I see... // So that's why she seemed like she was used to dealing with byouma.

2: It appears she's been passionately researching about the byouma ever since my case. // She's a wonderful teacher.
3: Wow~~~~

4: Um?!

5: "Teacher"? // You said... Why "teacher"?
6: ? "Why"...?

7: Mitokawa-sensei's my lifesaver. Is there...
8: No way?!? // You meant THAT lifesaver?
9: Wuh... That young lady...?

10: For some reason, her appearance hasn't changed at all for the past ten-odd years. // Women are unbelievable, aren't they.
11: I... I wonder if it's just a question of her strangeness...?

[19]

1: Ah! // Oh no, it's this late already?!
2: Something wrong?
3: Yes!! I've got karate practice starting at 6...

4: ...I've got a piano lesson, so... // Please excuse me.
SFX: chirpy
5: So she's still continuing her karate...

6: Is it all right not to see you off? // Will you be okay? Really?
7: But what if something happened on the way...?

8: ...Somehow we managed to find out what we wanted, but,
9: Sensei's story just now...

10: If Sensei's "power"... is due to the byouma he contracted back then, // It means the byouma is still there... inside of

Sensei. // In the case... it'll always be there...
11: Then...

[20]

1: Is something bothering you...?
2: You looked in deep thought...
SFX: menacing
3: Waahh
SFX: shock

4: ...There's no need to worry.
5: You sometimes overthink things a little.

6: Well, it doesn't change what needs to be done.

Text: The world's best magician, Jio, obtained true Gold, and...

1: So if I'm the grandson of that Jio who obtained that gold,

2: Why the heck am I broke?

[7]

1: Hey,
2: don't you think so too?

3: 'Sides, there's nothing better than brawling with Jio's grandson.

4: We ain't fighting with you because you're Jio's grandson...!

[8]

1: It's cuz you piss us off!!

SFX: Heh...

2: Must be because my charm makes me the target of jealousy and envy of all.
3: My bad...

4: I said, it's 'cause...
5: There there, let's just call it a day here.

6: Oh yeah, the fee for today's fight please.
7: Selling fights as always, huh? // No wait, buying fights as always?

[9]

1: And then, all magic vanished from the world. // As though it had been made forbidden...
>> See what I mean by 'banned'?

2: Scraped by without needing to sell the mantle or the necklace.
>> in case you're wondering, he's wearing the mantle around his waist

3: It's been about five hundred years since magic disappeared from the world today, // And the magic research institution, Elzion, is looking at the possibility of reviving magic...

[10]

1: If not for this mantle or the necklace, I won't have any proof that I'm Grampa Jio's- or just 'Grampa' for short- his grandson, huh.
2: Not that I care.

3: Ah...

4: There's my name, too, Jio Aria Rehuetas. // You can't advertise it anymore

blatantly than that.

5: Aria's girly, and it's a name that makes it tough to introduce myself.

6: And one more thing...

[11]

1: You're just imagining it.
2: Moreover, according to inside sources, Elzion has made using magic a reality, succeeding in developing magical tools, but Elzion denies such--...

Box 1: This is the fifth hundred year since magic vanished from the world, and there are many who wish to see magic revived.
Box 2: Perhaps because this year marked another landmark milestone in history, people still clung onto their yearning for magic.

Box 3: People still wish for magic even though Science has progressed this far?

[12]

1: I understand how they feel.
2: It'd be fun to use magic.

3: What's more, there's no meaning to being Grampa's grandson if I can't use magic, is there.

4: Appear, flames!

5: As if.

6: ...

7: Come out...

8: Jio.

[13]

1: You must be Jio Rehuetas, // ...am I right?

2: Who // are you people?

[14]

1: The Magic Research Institution, Elzion.
2: We would like to request your assistance, as the grandson of the top magician in the world, Jio.

3: Assistance?
4: With what?

[15]

1: The details will be discussed at another location. // Of course, we'll also reward you as a token of our appreciation.

2: Reward?!
3: I'll come, I'll come!
SFX: perk up

4: I'll go---

5: ----by which I mean.
SFX: leap

6: Getting away!!

[16]

1: After him,
2: Don't let him get away.

3: This is real fishy.

4: Well, they might use guns, but---...

SFX: dooom

[17]

SFX: creak...

1: Ah yes, use the magic tools as well.

2: Wha,
SFX: dooom
3: Hey!
SFX: dooom

4: If he looks like he's about to get away,

[18]

1: Kill him.

2: What the heck's all this about----?!

[19]

1: There's no one else around here with more magical power than me besides Jio, is there?
2: Yessir.

3: Though... there are limits to what we can see, both during the preliminary investigation and now.

4: There's room for improvement, even for these magic true-sight cams.

5: Whatever. // We'll just have to get rid of anyone who possess more magic

than I do in that million-in-one chance.

6: Thanks to this era where magic cannot be used, as long as they don't own magical tools, there's nothing to be afraid of, no matter how powerful their magical abilities are.

[20]

1: Die, Jio.

2: Inheritor of Gold.

[21]

1: If you die,

2: I'll become the world's top magician.

Text: Jio, targeted! // His fate is sealed?!

第４話：ジオの調書
Chapter 4: Jio's Case File

禁呪の力をその身に秘めてーー
The curses' powers are hidden in this body---

桐畑歩
Author: Kirihata Ayumi
ジオと黄金と禁じられた魔法
Jio to Ougon to Forbidden Magic (Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic)

[Unok: Is Ougon a name...? Because “gold” would really make no sense so far in the story... Though so far all names appeared are in katakana and non-Japanese... Guess I'll have to ask Elkin.
Elks: I suspect it's gold, but I think I left it as 'Ougon'... maybe we'll find out more as the story progresses.]

[02]

認可証不所持のまま魔法を使った罪で連行されたジオだが・・・
In-panel: Jio is arrested for using magic without a license...

SFX look look

『サザーイアリエス様。』
Sazaai'Aries-sama.

【サザーイアリエスって名前なんだ。】
So his name is Sazaai'Aries.
T/N: Just went with unok's... though with a ' because I'm not sure if it's all one name.

『いかがなさいました？　かような所へ。』
What brings you here, my lord?

『容疑者捕まえたんで、調書をとろうと思ってな。』
I arrested a suspect, so I thought I'd put together a file on him.

[03]

『そのような些事でしたら私どもが・・・』
Surely you should leave such trifling matters to us...?

『こいつさ、　｜　面白いから俺がやりてーの。』
You see, // This lad's pretty interesting, which is why I want to do it myself.

『楽しみ奪わないでくれる？』
Won't you let me have a little fun?

『さしでがましいことを申し上げました。』
Pardon me, I have said something impertinent.

『お許しを。』
My sincere apologies.

「うーん、オレ、面白いかなあ？」
Hmm, am I interesting?

「弟子になるの断ったら、大ウケしてたけど・・・」
Then again, he took it pretty well when I refused to become his disciple...

【ひゃははははっ】
Hyahahahaha.

【大笑い？】【なぜ？】
You're laughing? // Why?

『これから調書をとる。』
Everything from here on will be put on record.

[04]

『ま、とりあえず俺の質問に答えりゃいーから。』
Well, anyway, just answer my questions.

『うん、わかった！』
Okay, I will!

「なんとも裏表がなさそうだな。」
He doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives.

「少しでも裏がありゃ、俺の弟子になるのを断ったらしねえか・・・」
I wonder if he'd have turned down becoming my disciple if he had...?

『じゃ始めるぞ。』
Right, let's get started then.

『うん。』
All right.

『？　｜　どうしたの？』
? // What's wrong?

『名前はジオ。　｜　ジオのみ。』
Your name's Jio. // Just Jio.

『のみって、いつの人間だって話だが・・・』
Only that? Makes me wonder which era you came from...

[05]

『嘘ついてないよ。』
I'm not lying.

『ああ、　｜　親が不明だからなんだよな。』
Aaah, / probably because you don't know who your parents are.

『んで、年齢もわからない。』
And, you don't know how old you are either.

『じゃあ誰に育てられたかというと・・・』
Then, who raised you...?

『イレガウラだよ！』
Iregaura did!

『三賢者ね。』
One of the Three Wise Sages, huh.

『ついでに、将来の夢は世界一の魔法使い・・・っと。』
And while we're at it, your dream is to become the number one magician in the world... or so you say.

『わざわざ言うことかよ。』
You're stating the obvious though?

『その世界の人間なら誰だって一番の魔法使いになりたいさ。』
Everyone in this world wants to be the best magician.

『５位や６位になりたい奴なんていねぇだろ。』
No one who wants to become number five or six, right?

[06]

『でも・・・』
But...

『それに、そもそも一位ってどうやって決めんだよ。』
And how DO you decide who's the best in the first place?

『別に、一位を決める大会がある訳でもねえんだぜ。』
It's not like there's a conference where people decide who's number one.

『でも、』
But-

『世界一の魔法使いはある』
There is a number one magician in the world.

『オレにはわかるんだ』
I know there is.

『・・・・・・』
......

『どうして？』
And why's that?

『それは・・・』
I just...

[07]

『なんとなく・・・』
Kind of know...

『アッハッハッ。』
Saza: Ah ha- ha-

『わかるって断言しといてそれかよ。』
Is THAT why you're so sure?

【う・・・】
Jio: (Aww...)

『駄目だな。』
Saza: That's no good.

『それじゃ釈放はできない。』
Saza: Well then, I can't release you.

『えっなんで！？』
Jio: Eh? Why?!

『当然だろうが。何もかも不明な点ばっかで、　｜　わかったのは、お前が面白い奴だってことくらいだ。』
It's only natural, right? We know next to nothing about you, / And what I do know is just that you're an interesting lad.

【うぐ・・・】
Jio: (Ngh...)

『そんなこと言ったって・・・』
But even if you say that....

SFX stand

『待ってろ。』
Wait there.

SFX click

[08]

『何もかも不明かー。』
Know next to nothing...?

『そう言われるとそうだなー。』
He's right about that.

『あんまり気にしたことなかったけど・・・』
I didn't really care about it, but...

「オレは・・・」
I wonder...

「誰なんだろ？」
Who I am?

SFX open/click

『待たせたな・・・』
Kept you waiting, didn't I...?

SFX inhale--- exhale---

[09]

「逃げ出してる可能性は考えたが寝てるとは予想外だな。」
The thought that he might run away did cross my mind, but I never imagined he'd fall asleep.

SFX wheeze---

「大物なのか、ただのアホか。」
Is he someone quite extraordinary, or just an idiot?

『起きろ。』
Wake up.

SFX pat

『はあ。』
Mm 'kaay.

『ごめん。』
Sorry.

『寝ちゃ・・・』
I fell as...

『！』
!

『これ・・・』
What...

『何・・・？』Is this...?

[10]

『ソレのてっぺんに手を置いてみろよ。』
Try putting your hand on top of it.

SFX wobble

SFX spin spin

SFX whirl whirl whirl

SFX flick

SFX trickle

[11]

「え・・・何？」
Eh... what?

「上へ・・・？」
It's going upwards...?

SFX tap

『サーシェ』
Sarshe.
[unok: Or whatever -_-”
elks: totally]

[12]

『！？』
!?

『うわあ！』
Whoaa!

『落ち着け。』
Calm down.

『これは・・・』
This is...

[13]

『スゴイ！』
Amazing!

『オレ、飛んでる！』
I'm flying!

SFX grab

『ぎゅっ。』
Guh.

『ちょっとは現状に不信感をもて。』
Show a little more disbelief about your current situation.

『あ、　｜　サ・・・』
Ah, // Sa...

『サザ・・・リア・・・』
Saza...ria... //

『・・・・・・』
......
『ゴメン、なんて名前だっけ？』
Sorry, what was your name again?

『サザーイアリエス、・・・サザでいい。』
Sazaai'Aries. ...You can call me Saza.

『うん！　【わかった】』
Alright! (Got it)

『スゴイね！サザ、これどうなってんの？』
This is great! Saza, what's going on?

『ここはお前の過去の世界だ。』
This is the world of your past.

[14]

『過去！』
The past!

『ああ、今見てる光景はあの魔具が見せているもんだ。』
Yeah, that magical tool is showing what we're seeing now.

「あれか・・・」
That thing...?

『俺たちは、意識だけの幻みたいなもんだ。』
Only our consciousness is here- we're something like ghosts right now.

『ふぉーー　【やっぱスゴイ！】』
Wow--! (This really is amazing!)

『ありがと！』
Thanks!

『そんな凄い魔具、使ってくれて。』
For using such an awesome magical tool!

『・・・別に、おまえのために使った訳じゃない。』
...It's not like I did it for you.

『お前の過去を見れば、世界一の魔法使いについて何か分かると思ったからな。』
If we take a look at your past, I believe I'll learn something about this world's greatest magician.

[15]

『え・・・？』
Jio: Eh...?

『魔法に相性がある以上、一位なんてものは存在しない。』
Since magic depends on its compatibility with the user, there is no such thing as the greatest magician.

『一位を決める大会もない。』
And there aren't meetings where people decide who's the best either.

『でも、逆説的に考えれば？』
But paradoxically?

『それが使えれば世界一の魔法使いと認めざるを得ない・・・』
If someone can use it, I'll have no choice but to acknowledge that there is a greatest magician in the world...

『そんな魔法があるならば、世界一の魔法使いは存在する。』
If such magic exists, there is a number one magician in the world.

『そっか・・・』
Jio: I see...

[16]
『優しいんだね。』
You're kind, aren't you?

『サザは。』
Saza.

『・・・は？』
...Huh?

『だって・・・』
Because...

『オレが世界一の魔法使いになりたいって言ったこと・・・』
When I said that I wanted to be the number one magician in the world...

『世界一の魔法使いがあるって、信じてくれたんだよね。』
You believed me, that there's a top magician in this world.

『・・・おめでたい奴だな。』
...You're real naive, aren't you.

『そっかな？』
Jio: I am?

[17]

『あっ、　｜　人だ、人がいるよ！』
Jio: Ah, / there's someone, there's a person there!

「優しいか・・・」
Saza: Kind...?

「なぜだろうな俺はーー・・・」
Saza: Why is it that I......?

『あ・・・』
Jio: Ah...

『イレ・・・』『ガウ・・・ラ・・・』
Jio: Ire... // gau...ra...

『ほう・・・』
Saza: Oh...?

『！？』
!?

[18]

『おい。』
Hey.

『イレガウラはじーさんじゃなかったのか？』
Wasn't Iregaura an old man?

『・・・うん。』
...Yes.

『でも・・・』
But...

「若すぎる・・・あれはどう考えても２０代・・・こいつの過去ならせいぜい１５年前程度のはずだ。」
He's too young... He looks like he's got to be in his twenties... But we can't have gone back more than 15 years if we're looking at this lad's past.

『でも・・・　｜　イレガウラだ・・・』
But... / It's Iregaura...

『間違いない・・・』
No doubt about it...

「どういうことだ・・・！？」
What's going on here...!?

若き日のイレガウラを見つけたジオ。想いは募り・・・次号、ＣＣ（センターカラー）！！
Jio's found Iregaura in his younger days. Hisfeelings grow stronger... Color in the next chapter!!

3 Puah

4 Jio, I'll make some more yummy pies,

so wait there, okay?
5 Thanks, Auntie!

SFX chew chew chew
SFX swallow

6 Anyways.

7 Ya need a license!
8 Is a license really that necessary?

9 It's essential!
10 Woah.

[5]

1 If you don't have it, you're not

recognised as a magician,
2 And you'll be arrested if you mess up

something!

3 Arrested?
4 Why?

5 It's basically illegal t' use magic

without permission if you're not a magician.

6 ? // I don't really get it.
7 If that's the case, why aren't magi-

gangs arrested?

8 Th' way they arrest people is kinda

weak, so that's why.

Text I see...
9 There're organisations that crack

down on such groups, but then again // It's easy for

a town to become a battlefield and so on... There are

all sorts of reasons.

10 Right.

[6]

Box Well, // It's all be cleared up

thanks to him though.
Text So many sorts of difficulties--

1 We're going off-topic.
2 Anyways, everything's convenient once

you have a license, // And there ain't no harm in

getting one just in case.

3 How can I get a license?

4 There are two ways.
5 First is to become the disciple of a

high-ranked magician, then you can obtain the

permission for a license issue.
6 The second is to obtain approval from

the King, and be issued one directly from him.

7 Though I've listed two methods, the

second is kinda impossible, isn't it. // If it's you,

you could probably get approval right away, so you

should probably use the first method, huh.
8 I'll do the second.

[7]

1 Are ya even listenin' t' what I'm

sayin'?
2 Ai am leeshaning
(I am listening)

3 But the first option's not viable for

me.

4 That's why, I'll do it the second

way.
5 Besides, isn't it kind of fun doing

it the hard way?

6 ...
Box Aah...

Box Somehow, I understand what he's

getting at. // He has his own Master, doesn't he.
7 Jio, I've baked a pie.
8 Yaaay!
Box ...Or at least, HAD one...
[T/N: since you should be typesetting

with all caps, please bold this or something]

[8]

1 D'ya hafta go?

2 Yup.
3 I've made up my mind already.

4 ...
5 I see.

6 Well, what ken I do?
SFX slap
7 Ya're a boy, so once ya set yer mind

on sumthin', you just hafta go straight for it,

duncha!

8 The weather's a tad tempermental.
9 So if you're headin' off, it's best

ta do it early.

10 Auntie.
11 Bajild.

[9]

1 Thanks a lot for everything.
2 Really, thanks.

3 You...

4 You idiot, that should be what we're

sayin'.
SFX whap
5 Woah.
5 (small) Again?

Text Ah-- dammit.
6 Come back again someday... and visit

us as your lively self.
7 I will.

8 Well then,
9 See you.

[10]

1 Found ya.

[11]

n/a

[12]

1 It's your magic, right?

2 That thing.

3 Aah, it's fine if you don't explain

yourself, it'll only add to your list of charges.
4 Whoops, before that, I've got to have

a reason for this, don't I.

[13]

1 Do you have a license?

2 Wait a sec!
3 Who the hell are you, suddenly

appearin' outta nowhere!

4 ... So I say, but even though he's

young, his get up...
5 My prediction was spot on.

6 I am

[14]

1 A member of the Ledainros Royal

Knights.
2 I have the right to verify whether

someone possesses a license, and the right to arrest

those without one of them.

3 I'll ask one last time.
4 Do you have a license?

5 He doesn't!

6 Judging from his reaction just now,

// It's 100% certain he doesn't!

[15]

1 It's my personal choice of

jurisdiction, but I approve of resistance.

2 ?!

3 I'm saying I'll let you go if you win

in a fight against me.

4 Come---
5 Resist---

6 This person is

7 Strong!!

[16]

SFX creep

1 I mustn't,
2 Suppress it!

[17]

1 I won't make excuses or resist.
2 Please arrest me.

3 Jio!

4 It's all right, Bajild, Auntie.
5 I was planning to head over to the

capitol anyway.

6 Though I'm wondering, I didn't do

anything bad with magic...?
7 Then tell him!

8 He saved the people in this town from

a magi-gang! // Ya gotta be kiddin' me, yer arrestin'

this kid?!

[18]

1 What's illegal's illegal.
2 Sigh

SFX whistle

3 Get on, // I'm taking you with me.

[19]

1 Is it okay if you don't hand-cuff me

or something?
2 It'd be more interesting for me if

you escaped.

3 Jio...

4 Don't worry about me.
5 I'm off!

[20]

1 It's kinda obvious he's not bein'

takin' away, innit...

2 I'm worried, but...
3 That child'll def'nitely be all

right.

4 I'm gonn' patiently wait for the day

when he comes by again to visit us as his lively

self.

5 This is the first time I've ridden a

flying dragon!

[21]

1 Really.
2 How boring-- This is how it turned

out, huh.

3 Hey, what's this one's name?

4 Roberia.
5 Just like a beauty, right?

6 Say.
7 Yes?

8 If we weren't in the middle of town,

would you have fought me?

9 ...

10 ...I don't think I can go easy on you

, so I'll lose- that's why I won't do it.
SFX hehh

[22]

1 A ha ha ha, the hell's that, that

doesn't make sense at all.
2 Aww... // But what else is there to
