HUNTER X HUNTER #273

tl by molokidan

01)
side-text: Morau VS Pufu...

No. 273 : Reunion

P: Whether the act of confinement, to me, is truly advantageous...
P: Go ahead and test that theory.

side-text: The quiet hidden battle!!

02)
M: His moth scales...according to Novu, they have a hypnotic effect.
M: I can't get caught up in them...!
S: Seems like you've finished talking.
S: Such an act...befits a respectable practicioner.
S: Vigilance...
S: Preparation...
S: And confidence...
S: A blend of 2 x 3 x 5.

03)
P(2b): At the very least, allow me a self-introduction. I am the Shauapufu of the Royal Guard under direct supervision of the King.
P(thoughts on right): A somewhat diluted sense of vigilance due to the manifestation of confidence...in other words, a strong personality.
P(thoughts on left): Despite being in the enemy's territory, the relief from pulling the enemy into his own battlefield outrivals all else...that is the illustration of his emotions.
Box on right: Pufu's "Spiritual Message," through surrounding the opponent with scales, allows the flow of their aura to be interpreted in order to understand state of mind.
Box on left: Through analyzing the mixed conditions of about 30 different patterns of strong emotions that appear in the flow of the aura, the opponent's thoughts can be predicted.

04)
P: ...his somewhat diluted vigilance has become a bit stronger.
P: Fu.
P: Would you be so kind as to tell me your name?
P: It would be quite a saddening misconception if you were to be suspicious of me using these self-introductions as a way to lead you into being caught up in my scales.
P: I'm slightly shocked.
P: That's all...

05)
P: Let's forget that and become reborn.
P: Ufu
P(big one at left): Ufufufufu. Please wait a moment...fufufu.
P: Ufufu
P: Ufufufu
M: If you're just going to waste time, that's fine with me!
M: Whether a demon or a serpent comes out...!!

06)
B: The elevator to the palace basement...anyone can use it to go down,
B: but in order to go up, an passcode must be entered.
B: Each 8-digit code differs between the user for the purpose of identification.
B: If even one digit is misplaced, an alarm will sound and the door will lock.
B: Repeated errors will be transmitted to the guards, resulting in the release of hypnosis gas followed by restraints and torture...in other words, death.

07)
B: The circumstances of the user are supervised by a computer, from which the purposes, frequency of inputs, and usage times are all relentlessly checked by Chief Bizef.
B: Since suspicion regarding a code will result in the unconditional punishment of its keeper, one's code is equivalent to their life.
B: Marcos, just before the plane through which he was going to escape the country arrived, finally gave his code to Morau.
I: "Satellitonbo" (*Tonbo = Dragonfly)

08)
B: From what was told to him, Ikarugo knew nothing of Palm,
B: yet he quickly made a firm resolution not to leave the palace before finding her.
I: I'll definitely bring her back...!!!
I: Palm is my allies' ally!
I: Which means she's my ally!!
I: My ally!!!
B: "Right now, Palm is risking her life" -- From that quote alone, Ikarugo respected her.

09)
I: This is not a matter of duty or obligation!!
I: I want to save her...!! I've decided that I will save her!!!

10)
B: This elevator, complete with a surveillance camera and a scale, after going underground, ascertains that "nothing is inside" and automatically rises back up.
B: When the elevator is rising, only one person can ride. During this time, if there is a noticeable anomaly in the user data and the physical data of the user during the time of input, the alarm will immediately sound and the elevator will become a virtual prison.
sfx: pi
B: The only two people who have codes and can utilize the elevator without those constraints are Bizef and Marcos.
B: Including the humans, there are various "classified things" that are transported through the palace, so compared to the vehicular entrances and exits, this way of transport is the more convenient one.

11)
W: Uuu!
W: What's this stench...!?
W: Is Flutter living in a morgue or something!?
W: Other than that...the only other strong scent is that of Brou(*T/L note: Werefin's nickname for Brouda, apparently), who went down before me...
W: Shit...it's indistinct, but it's there...
Box: The rotten smell of Flutter, who had been dead for several days, was blunting Werefin's nose.
W: The fact that Brou went down after Flutter means
W: that he also must have noticed when Flutter said "Hagya-sama?"
W: Or could it be...
W: Brouda's with him!?
W: When I was watching for the intruder...Brouda
W: was watching me from behind!?
W: Which would mean--

12)
W: that if Brouda truly is on the intruders' side, then he is keen to the fact that I'm keen to Flutter's unnatural behavior.
sfx: suu...
W: And so the reason he went down ahead me is so that...
W: down there,
W: he can intercept me!?!?

13)
W(2b): Shit!! This should be my chance!!
W(3b): Flutter is obviously acting suspicious...!! If I can set him up as the perpetrator who set up the bomb plan...Bizef's trust in me will be resolute!
W: Bizef.....!!
W: Where's Bizef!?
W: This is bad...if he died in the assault...
W: this whole plan will become meaningless.
W: If I don't find Bizef first...

15)
Z: Yo.
K: Gramps...
Z: My job is finished here.
Z: What happens afterwards is of no concern to me.
K: Strange...
Z: Judge what's happening inside for yourselves.
K: Inside...?

16)
B: Gulping down all he wanted to say,
B: Zeno slipped into the darkness.

18)
G: Do you
G: remember me...?

19)
G: I am Gon Freecs!!!
G: In order to bring back Kaito,
G: I've come to you!!!!
White text: Going all-out in an instant!!!
