Kekkaishi 166

QUESTION FOR JOJOHOT.COM FANS
How can I find vol 7 and vol 8 RAWs of Kekkaishi? Thanks in advance!! :D

Hi everyone: This is the starting point of the on-going “Butterfly” arc, because I browsed jojohot and could only find 147-173 of Kekkaishi to translate. I would really prefer to do vol 7 and vol 8 so that fans don’t get spoiled, but I can’t find earlier chin RAWs of Kekkaishi. Could anyone help me with some suggestions? Thanks!! :D

FOR URAKAI SCANS

PAGE1
Side text: Even though the immortal body could not be destroyed, it suffered great damage, resulting in the closure of the sacred land**. However…
(TN: I think there is a Shinto term, does anyone know? I am going with “sacred land” until I find out.)

PAGE2: no text:

PAGE3:
Text R: What happened…?
Text L: This world has calmed down all of a sudden…

PAGE4
Crane Spirit: Ah…

PAGE5
Text running vertical: Who’s intention was it, who’s work was it…?
Lotus children: Tanyu**-sama! (Name of the crane spirit ^^;;; , anyone knows?)

PAGE6
Yoshimori: It’s just as big brother said,
-One sacred land had mysteriously split into two,
-resulting in an extremely unstable new formation.
-That’s why,
-big brother figured he would merge the two, returning them to stability, but…

Yoshimori: Are you following me?
Tokine: I guess so.

Yoshimori: Well then,
-stepping into the other realm, fixing up its weak spots and even replacing them, is all supposed to be within the power of a Kekkaishi.

Yoshimori: In other words, I can do it too!?
Tokine: Sure, if you’re willing to practice…

PAGE6
Madarao: Looks like he’s got some scheme …
Yoshimori: That means… that the technique we used to seal Karasumori can be used again?

Yoshimori: But,
-big brother is such a weird fellow.
Tokine: Hm?

Yoshimori: Because of his severe injuries, he couldn’t move and was over exhausted,
-That’s why he didn’t take your call and said he was almost fully recovered.
Masamori: Ah, I’m already recovered
Yoshimori: Its already been 3 days since that incident

Yoshimori: Liar! He said,
-“There’re lots of ways to do it”, and giggled in the background
- What kind of comment was that?

Yoshimori: Is he treating me like an idiot?
-Its so frustrating…
Small text: grumbling to himself

PAGE8
Yoshimori: What’s more, power has vanished from the sacred land.
-C’mon, you’ve got to come back…
-I hope we can build a pretty lake----

Yoshimori: Hey.
-What’re you laughing at.

Tokine: Nothing,
-I’m sure power will return to the land!

Yoshimori: Is that…
-true?

Tokine: Yes!
-Because it’s the result of the co-operation between you and your brother.
Bubble: This is brilliant…
-Yoshimori never spoke about Masamori-sensei in this way before.

Frame6
Bubble: Could they be starting to understand each other?
Yoshimori:……
-Huh, what’s there to be so hyped about?

PAGE9
Yomi, the Ogre-user: Judging from the current state of your body, could you refrain from eating ice-cream?

PAGE10
Masamori: Would you like one too, Miss Yomi?
Small text: My treat
Yomi: What! To eat the same thing as you?
-I’d rather die!

Yomi: Actually, behind your back, we don’t call you “taicho” we call you “ ***” ( lit. diabetes, but I think there is some pun happening)Masamori: Miss Yomi has inadvertently let slip some interesting tidbits.

Yomi: Did you lose weight?

Masamori: Ah, I’m probably just tired.

Masamori : Are you worried about me?
Yomi: Not at all.
-Ah, a cup of tea please.

Masamori: Then let’s get back to the main point.

PAGE11
Masamori: I think its about time…
-You’ve had a real assignment.

Frame2
Yomi:……
-What’s that supposed to mean?
Masamori: Up to now, you’ve only accepted solo assignments.
-But as a member of the Urakai
-You’ve got to consider the overall benefit to the group, meaning you ought to change…

Yomi: Isn’t it really for your own personal benefit?

Masamori: No. Its to raise the overall standard of our group.
-In the future…
-We might have to combat even more dangerous situations…

Big: My intention is,
-A complete re-organization of our group.

Box: Urakai Headquarters

Kids: You’ve been working hard!
(TN: lit. trans of a polite Japanese term, could there be a more precise phrase?)

Kids: Ah!

PAGE13
Kids: Welcome home---!!

Sensei: Hey kids, How’re ya doin’
-Everybody fine?
Small text: We’re fine--- we’re fine

Older Kids: Its been quite a while since you last visited
-***-sensei
Sensei: Ah~ah
-I’m been traveling the fringes for very long.

Sensei: Ah
-Nothing seems to have changed here.
Kids: Sensei—lets play soccer
-soccer!

Sensei: Sorry guys, this old man is tired,
-Spare me, please.

PAGE14
Sensei: Wahhh, you brat,
-Let go of me!
Kids: Sensei—Where’s our souvenir---?

Sensei: Got’cha, Got’cha.
-I’ll give you a souvenir, just spare me.

Small text: Wah, a brand new ball--
Sensei: Don’t fight, kids
Older kids: About that---*** -sensei

Older kids: How about the souvenirs we requested…
Sensei: Keke

Older kids: No matter what, we’ve got to get our hands on the treasure this time!

Sensei: I don’t have a lot, but these are rare gems.
-Forgive me.

-Firstly, the imports,
-housewives,
-hot librarians…

Sensei: And a fully armored, fully certified, female ninja.
Older kids: FEMALE NINJA!?
Vice-captain: What’s the commotion…

PAGE15
Vice-Captain: Thanks for your hard work, ** -sensei.
Sensei: Ah~ah, Vice captain

Vice-Captain: Boss is away at the moment,
-but he’ll be back in the evening.

Sensei: Okay,
-I understand.

Sen: ***-sensei!!

Sensei: Yes! Sen.
-You’re in good spirits.

PAGE16
Yomi: I see,
-You’ve finally called him to come back.

Masamori: Yes,
-I did.
-Your status and your modus operandi will also change.

Yomi: Actually, you surprised me.
-I expected you to make that decision even sooner.

Yomi: To treat a comrade with kindness,
-Isn’t that unlikely of you?

PAGE17
Yomi: However, as a result of your indulgence, much information leaked outside
-And gave an opening for*** to attack. (TN: referring to an earlier enemy, does anyone know his name?)
-Leading to the sacrifice of our comrades.

Yomi: The ultimate reason,
-our comrades died,
-was because of you.

Yomi: And its only now, that you decide to recall traitor No.3.
-It would be strange if I didn’t think you had an ulterior motive.

Masamori: ‘course not.

PAGE18
Sensei: Sen.

Sensei: How’s your training?
Sen: Good,
-I’m still training.

Sensei: You’ve not told anyone, have you?

Sensei: Neither have you tested it on a subject?
Sen: No…

Sensei: Well then,
-Its been a long time since our last practice.
