Hello :) this chapter was fun to translate, somehow.

This trans can be used anywhere for anything as long as credit and blah blah :)

Fairy Tail Ch72
Page 1
Chapter 72 - The Star that can't Return to the Sky

Overlay text: A lone person can never obtain it! | Because a smile is | The barometer of happiness!
Overlay text at the bottom: We're really popular! In this special 24-page issue, the truth about Loki draws near!!

Page 2
Fanning text: Cold words that deny warmth... What on earth is the reality of Loki's heart?

[side text - The story till now: In the past, it was thought that Loki disliked Lucy. As if he'd had something (? *TL: yes, this question mark was really in the raw) done to him by another Stellar Spirit magician in the past. After meeting him accidentally on the job, Lucy brought this matter up with him... At this, Loki embraced Lucy and confessed! Confessed that he didn't have much time left to live!!]

Loki: There's only...
Loki: ...a little more life left in me
Lucy: !
Lucy: Eh? | Umm...

Page 3
Lucy: ...... | What's the meaning of this?
Loki: kuku (sfx: giggling)
Loki: AHAHAHAHA

Page 4
Loki: You fell for it, huh
Loki: That was a trick to seduce women
Loki: A trick that illicits tears... So? Surprised?
SFX: SLAP
Loki: ...

Page 5
Lucy: I...
Lucy: I HATE THAT SORT OF JOKES!
Lucy: We're leaving! Happy! Plue!
Happy: Agyu
Plue: Pu pu
Plue: Puun?
SFX: Slam

Page 6
Loki: What... What am I doing...
Loki: Letting my emotions go...
Loki: I can't involve Lucy...
Loki: I've already...
Box: The next day.... at Fairy Tail

Page 7
Elfman: What's up?
Mira: A wound from having a pillow fight before work, or something
Elfman: How do you throw a pillow to inflict such a large wound...
Jubia: I wonder if Gray's alright...
Gray: The point is, how could you be so shameless during a pillow fight?
Natsu: I'm always on full power!
Gray: Even with such a disadvantage, I didn't lose, did I!
Natsu: What!? The one who lost was you, wasn't it!
Jubia: I wonder what's this about winning or losing a pillow fight?
Natsu&Gray: LUCY!! I won the fight, right!?

Page 8
Lucy: Shut up
Natsu&Gray: So-Sorry
Person: Ohh so there's someone besides Ezra who can stop those two!!
Person 2: That's great, Lucy!!

Page 9
[side text - "Mashima's ramblings PartI": Before, in this column, I said I was starting a new serialization, but this doesn't mean FT will end. I'm really sorry for the confusion. It'll be serialized in a different magazine.]

Happy: Lucy, you in a bad mood?
Lucy: Really? Isn't it normal?
Happy: Are you still mad at our joke?
Lucy: N-O!! Am I really that petty?
Lucy: Sorry... There's a lot of things on my mind...
Happy: You can discuss them with me
Lucy: No... It's alright... Thanks
Woman: Hey, has Loki been by?
Mira: Loki?
Woman2: That Loki's too much
Woman3: What *is* with all of you
Woman4: Same to you!
Woman5: Loki~~ Where are you~~

Page 10
Lucy: What's that?
Happy: Girls from the town. They all seem to be claming to be Loki's girlfriend
Woman1: He suddenly asked for a break up last night
Woman2: *Sniff* It's mortifying, but it was the same for me!
Woman3: Me too!
Woman4: And me!
Woman1: Why would he say something like that out of the blue?
Mira: Who... Who knows?
Woman3: It couldn't be that his true love has appeared!?
Random Woman: It can't be...
Woman4: Who is it!!? Someone in this guild!?
Mira: Lucy~~~ Help~~
Lucy: Wai-
Woman1: Who is this woman? ~~
Woman2: She's not even a little cute...
Woman4: Her chest is huge
Woman3: You couldn't be Loki's "true love"...
Lucy: Ugh! Don't drag me into this sort of troublesome matters, Mira!

Page 11
Lucy: ... That's how it is, Grandpa Cru
Crux: Hmm (TL: Crux often makes this sound, it's really "Ho-mu" but I decided to make it "Hmm")

Box: Stellar Spirit | Southern Cross "Crux" | Nicknamed "Grandpa Cru"

Lucy: I... unintentionally and in a fit of anger gave him a slap...
Lucy: Somehow I'm beginning to think he wasn't really joking after all...
Crux: Hmm

Page 12
Lucy: Can I go into the past and investigate the Stellar Spirit magicians connected to Loki using your powers?
Crux: Hmm
Crux: Gu- Gu- Guu- (SFX: Snoring)
Happy: He's fallen asleep, Lucy!!!!
Lucy: It's alright, it's because he's in the middle of a search
Happy: Lies!! He's definitely sleeping!

Page 13
Lucy: Grandpa Cru is a specialist at Stella Spirit magic. He has all the information from the gate connecting the human world and the Stellar Spirit world.
Lucy: He'll even know all the Stellar Spirit magicians of the past and which Stellar Spirits they used
Crux: DIAO!!!! (SFX: waking up?)
Lucy: Did you find anything, Grandpa Cru?!
Crux: Hmm
Crux: Because there's also a law in the Stellar Spirit world protecting personal information, I can't give you much details

Page 14
Crux: The Stellar Spirit magician connected to Loki is
Crux: Karen Lilika
Lucy: Karen Lilika!!!?
Happy: You know of her, Lucy?
Lucy: She's an extremely popular Stellar Spirit magician
Lucy: She's really beautiful so she was once the cover girl of Sorcerer magazine

Page 15
Lucy: But... A few years back, in the middle of a job, she passed away
Happy: She had to be a member of a guild too
Lucy: Yeah... Blue Pegasus, I think
Lucy: Hey, what sort of relationship did this Karen and Loki have?
Crux: Hmm I can't divulge any more than this
Lucy: Wait!
Crux: Gu- (SFX: snoring)
Happy: Ah! He said that and yet he's conducting a search!
Lucy: Nope, he's asleep.
Happy: EH!!!?

Page 16
[side Text: something about the magazine's 50th anniversary that i'm too lazy to translate... may do so later]
Lucy: Karen and Loki...
flashback!Loki: There's only... a little more life left in me...
Lucy: Eh?
Happy: What is it, Lucy?
Lucy: What is this uncomfortable feeling
Gray: Lucy, trouble!!!
Lucy: Hii (TL: as in "he", a sharp inhalation)

Page 17
Gray: Loki's quitting Fairy Tail!!!!
Lucy: Eh!?
Lucy: Wh- Why!?
SFX: Gui (putting on shoes)
Gray: I don't know, but everyone's searching for him
Gray: That guy... He'd been acting strangely recently
Lucy: It couldn't be..
Gray: Oi!! Lucy!! Where do you plan on searching for him!!!!

Page 18
Levi: Lokiiii!!!
Natsu: Where are you!!
Voices in the street: Loki~~~ Loki~~~

Page 19
Loki: !
Lucy: Everyone's looking for you
Loki: Lucy!!!
Lucy: It's Karen's grave, isn't it? This place.
Lucy: Stellar Spirit magician Karen
Lucy: Your Owner.

Page 20
Lucy: Stellar Spirit Loki
Lucy: No... Your real name is "Leo the Lion"

Page 21
[side text - "Mashima's ramblings PartII": Last year I had a chance to have a meal with Morikawa-sensei. We talked about some hot stuff, as well as some things that helped me. I really learnt alot.]
Loki: You figured it out... That I'm a Stellar Spirit
Lucy: I too have made many contracts with Stellar Spirits. I'm a Stellar Spirit magician, after all.
Lucy: I finally found out the truth about you
Lucy: But... I should have discovered it sooner
Lucy: Originally, when the Owner of the key dies, his contract with the Stellar Spirit is annulled. Until the next Owner appears, the Stellar Spirit is forced to return to the Stellar Spirit world
Illustration: (the first one, where the image is intact) Contract | (the second one, where the image is torn) Con-tract (split because it's torn) | (second image, above Plue's head) Free | (after the arrow, at the bottom) To the next Owner

Page 22
Lucy: Your contract with Karen should have been annulled when she died, but here you are in the human world
Lucy: There seems to be some reason why you can't return to the Stellar Spirit world
Lucy: Humans can't live in the Stellar Spirit world, and similarly, Stellar Spirits can't live in the human world
Lucy: Your vitality will gradually dissipate until your death.
Loki: It's already been 3 years
Lucy: 3 years...! Even a year is impossible!
Loki: Ahh... I'm already at my limit.... I can't even get any power out at all...

Page 23
Lucy: Maybe... I can be of some help!!!!
Lucy: Tell me the reason why you can't return!!! I'll try opening the gate!!!!
Loki: I don't need help
Lucy: What are you saying?! At this rate, you'll really die!!
Loki: The reason I can't return is simple
Lucy: !?
Loki: I breached the terms in the contract between Owner and Stellar Spirit...
Loki: And in so doing... have been banished forever from the Stellar Spirit world
Lucy: Banished... Forever?
Loki: This is my crime
Loki: I'll accept even this "death"

Page 24
Loki: I'm a traitor Stellar Spirit
Loki: I killed my Owner Karen with these hands
Fanning text: Loki's sorrowful confession! | Is there no way to avoid his impending "death"!?

Bottom text: To Be Continued in Chapter 73 "Year 781. Blue Pegasus"

that's all :) enjoy! this was an interesting chapter, imo!

Hello again, once again use this in scanlations at your own risk, my Japanese isn't very fluent :)

144th Night Black Star . Red Star

Johnny: Tapp… you can’t… leave…
Johnny desperately reaches out for the protective skull of Tapp who is facing the ark, as if trying to stop him.
But, the combined Akuma’s eye makes a long distance slash, 2 bloodied arms appear.

Fanning text: The nightmare never ends…!?

(human… human…)
The hand entangles and picks up Johnny, drawing him into the eye socket
Johnny: Still alive…
With a shriek, Johnny’s silhouette is drawn in

The battle between the Generals and Lulu gets more intense
Lulu: Ku… the egg is…
The egg is considerably damaged, Marie is trying to prevent it from sinking by using his strings to pull it up, but the string is starting to break in a while
Marie: Gu… It may be hopeless but I’m not stopping
Klaud: We haven’t got time. We can’t destroy the egg while worrying about Miranda

Maries strings get too pointed (TL: ?) and can’t get hold of Miranda
Socalo: If we don’t launch an all-out attack together on the Noahs, we’ll lose
Well that woman’s an exorcist, so she should have determination, right?
Marie: !? General, what did you…?
Cross: …. Destroying the “egg” is our priority, isn’t it
Marie: Please wait, general!!
But Socalo is already holding “Madness” high, revolving it with great power
Klaud: Lao Jimin. Long distance form
(TL: don’t know the pronunciation for this but the kanji means something like “Shell-breaking rifle” I think) Shell-breaking rifle “Lao Ganz”!!
Lao Jimin slashes the body vertically
Cross’s Judgement seems to have become something terrifying
Cross: Judgement – Cleansing Level - 3 times merit (TL: not too sure about the merit bit)

Lulu: They’re serious…! If time doesn’t change now…
Lulu retrieves Miranda from inside the body, pressing the egg
Lulu: Is that really alright, exorcist? Your few comrades are hanging on and still you’ll stop? This woman’s power is really important to you guys, right?
Marie: Are you intending to use Miranda as a shield for the egg!?
Lulu: I will return with the egg!!
But Cross laughs
Cross: You gotta be joking
Marie: General-!!
Judgement, Lao Ganz and Madness’ attacks turn on the egg at the same time

In the wake of the tremendous power, the inside of the Order experiences violent tremors
Komui, who is standing by the ark is affected by the tremors
Komui: General!? Marie! Miranda
Komui calls out over the wireless radio
All other members of the Order are in chaos
?: The electricity's cut
?: Emergency generator! We’ll restore it immediately. Commanding officers of each level please report your status (TL: damage, but you know, translation liberties)
And in the height of this chaos a silhouette appears on the arc

Krory’s hospital room is shaking too, and things are scattering
Matron: Everyone! Get down!
Lavi: Damn it
Lavi protects Linalee from the falling items
Elsewhere too others are running around dodging falling items
Chao Ji: Are you alright! I’ll move it right away
Chao Ji tries to help a government official (TL: ?) whose leg is trapped in the rubble, but a huge piece of rubble falls from above
Kanda: I’m borrowing this
Kanda uses the sword he borrowed (stole) from the official and saves him and Chao Ji.
Chao Ji: Ka… Ka... Kanda-san
Kanda: The sword isn’t sharp… Che…

Despite crumbling, the arc is still able to retain it’s original form and the egg is sinking into it.
Lulu returns to her human form, anxious about the egg
Lulu: Enter the gate… Hurry, to where the master is. Right now, repairing the egg is… Bastard Generals…
At this time, a white bundle is seen clinging to the egg
From there, the cracks on the egg widen rapidly
Lulu: Damn you…
Cross observes the sinking of the egg by the arc
Socalo: You’re a horrible master, ain’t ya. Jumping in knowing of the all-out attack (TL: don't really get this...)
Cross: Fu… Avoidance is still attacking
It doesn’t matter, that’s also a critical person for now
The cracks widen all over the entire egg
Lulu: Stop! If it takes any more damage than this…
You!! ALLEN WAAAALLKKEEERRRRR!!
The egg shatters, Allen leaps out of the arc carrying Miranda and glaring at Cross
Allen: It’s hard to stand…
Cross: You betrayed my trust, stupid disciple (TL: I can't get if Cross says "you betrayed my trust" or "you have my trust" or something else altogether...)
At the same time as the arc shrinks and the gate closes, a shadow in the pillar
Miranda is being looked after by Marie and the rest
Marie: Hang in there, Miranda!
Bookman: It’s alright, she just lost consciousness
Allen: I’m going to where Reever is…
At this time, Allen’s left eye has a reaction, and there’s a laugh from somewhere
(Kusu… Kusu Kusu Kusu Kusu [giggling])
In the blood, a blood-stained left hand, and from there, footsteps in blood leading away

Fanning text: This sound is…? What has Allen recognized!?

Thank you to Dofla for the script and cam raws!

Hello there :) I've been a lurker for around a year so I finally decided to join and translate something. I don't have a lot of confidence in my translating skills and I'm sure this script is riddled with errors but wells, I tried :/ and hopefully I'll learn along the way as well. Yoroshiku! :)

By the way, since I know this has so many errors (many things I guessed), I'd warn any scanlation groups against using it in case it lowers the quality of your release in general. Unless someone with better Japanese-English skills can help straighten out the parts I'm unsure of... Or, just wait for the wonderful CarlosNet to post his wonderful and infinitely more accurate translation :)

Here goes!
