Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE 166

you know the drill ~

01
愛しき者達が
彼の元を去っても
それでも彼は
生きなければならない
Even if his beloved friends
were to leave his side,
he must nevertheless
continue to live without them

chapitre 166 - 閉じた世界 - The sealed world

02 no txt, bottom is our beloved "this IS real, not fiction, and kurogane is teh shiz"

03
-Wha---?!

-This world is...!!

04
RECIT - (summary) - To save Sakura, who's lost her memories, Shaoran and co. travel to different worlds! The troupe travels to Celes after she vanishes. There, Fai is at last reunited with Ashura! While Fai's personal past and the tragedy he faced is finally revealed, he is forced to keep his "promise" with the king, and a fierce battle ensues. But...!?

-...this is...the second...
-...the second curse

-Once he's with the princess of the desert, he'll eventually return to Celes
-If he is unable to kill the King by his own hand,
-It will activate regardless of his personal will

05
-If he does kill the King by his own hand, then he will likely be killed as a result (t/n - fixed. this implies what fai says in bold below)
-In that case, the second curse will have no meaning

-Hey!!
-What's going on!?

06
-The world is...being sealed...
-By my magic!!

-What did you say?!

07
-We will be unable to leave here...

魔術師が旅立ってから
魔術師と王以外にこのセレスで魔力を使ったものにも害を成すよう既に罠は張ってあった
-Ever since he started traveling between worlds, (t/n - my interpretation was wrong. this is correct)
-With the exception him and and the King, I set a trap for those who would try to inflict harm with their magic in Celes (t/n - fixed)

08
ふたつの呪いの成就を妨げぬように
-...so that neither curse will be prevented from activating!

-We've got to get out now!

-It's hopeless...
-We're all...(haa)

-It looks like my magic doesn't get stronger the more I use it...

09
-It seems the more I use my magic, the closer I get to death

-Wh...what?!

-But...I do have some magic left...

-Shaoran-kun
-Don't let go of Mokona or Sakura-chan

-What are you trying to do?!

10
-To get you...
-out of here!

11 no txt (no, i can't translate his magic!)

12
-What happened?!

-I don't have
-enough magic...!!

13
-Just as I expected, He doesn't have enough magic

-Perhaps he could do it, if he had his other eye that my "duplicate" took...

-All that's left with the princess is that Clow relative...

-As well as the witch's pawns, including that child of Suwa (t/n - credit hayate-taichou below)
魔力の残り少ない魔術師が始末出来ただけでも良しとするか
-and the magician who's just about powerless. If I get rid of them, all will go according to plan! (t/n - last part is my interpretation, again. hard to literally translate his phrases)

14
-Shaoran!!

-Mokona!
-Take...the earring...from Mokona...

15
-The other Mokona
-told Mokona just now in a dream!

-Please!!

16 no txt

17
-Damn witch
-She had a "magic tool" prepared for this?!

-It is no matter
-Even with the power of such a tool, it cannot free the both of them

18
-LET GO! (t/n - lit. "go on!" but i feel this more proper)

19-21 no txt

22
犠牲を払った
だが希望も残った！
セレス国ーー脱出！
Sacrifices were made,
but there's still hope!
They escape--from Celes!!

bottom: The author wishes to do research so will take a break next issue. When the comic resumes in issue 43, look forward to a center color!

what it really means:
The author's taking a break, so suck it up until issue 43. at least you get a center color so no complaining.

HA!

-end-

thanks for your patience
