Proofread by LoserBait. Credit him~~
Doing some of the translations I missed (starting with the first chapter of Volume 22)

p01

0248: Enlightenment through giving up life.

[TN: The previous translations for this title have been "Enlightenment through death" but it's missing important info.
If we were to take the kanji and break them down:
死 Death
捨 Throwing it away/ giving up
悟入 Obtaining enlightenment

So by giving up "death" or not caring if we die, then we can obtain true enlightenment.]

p02

HS: Nothing else we could do. / Couldn't even talk to them. // Seems like we're giving off the Hunter-specific signal. // Something's been placed in our heads as well.

KB: But aren't Hunters our enemies? // Are we going to continue killing our own kind? Isn't our objective to take all the Hunters out?

p18

HS: Can you see them...? Up there. // I'm going to try to negotiate with their boss.

KB: What if they attack us like the others did?

HS: Eh? // Hmmm... // Guess we'd have to kill em.

Thanks :)

Oh, though I am not a proofreader or anything, I noticed one thing:

KB: But aren't Hunters are enemies?

Isn't one of the verbs unneeded? Or it was meant to be like:

KB: But aren't Hunters our enemies?
