Chapitre 161: The Smile and the Magic
[insert text: The fate of two worlds... // ...entrusted to these two young men]
[TN: It doesn't actually use the word "entrusted"; it leaves the sentence hanging without a verb. But there's really no good way to render that in English.]

Kurogane: Tch...

Ashura: It seems you have already learned the "Spear" in this spellbook.
[TN: The word "Spear" takes the kanji for "magic spell"; in addition, I'm not sure that it reads "spear". The RAW quality is too small for me to be able to make out whether there is a dakuten or a maru on the "hi", and it looks somewhat like there may be a dakuten on the "su" as well. If it isn't "spear", though, I have no idea what it is supposed to say.]
Fai: ...Yes.

5
Ashura: You have worked your way through nearly all the spellbooks in this castle. // Why is that, Fai? // If there is something worrying you, I would like you to tell me.
Fai: No matter how much I try, I can't learn any spells for recovery or healing. // All I can learn are offensive spells... / Those meant to hurt people...
Ashura: Try smiling.
Fai: ...huh?
Ashura: Smile.

6
Fai: ......
Ashura: You just did magic.
Fai: ....huh?
Ashura: Fai, your smile healed my heart more than enough. // This, too, is magic.

7
Fai: ...... // Th... thank... you.

Chii: He's fine. / There's no change. // The other Fai... he's just the same as he's been since I first met him, / when I was first born. / The same as always.
Fai: All because you stay beside his side, Chii.

10
Fai: ........
Ashura: I thought I'd find you here.
Fai: Ashura-ou.
Ashura: Our neighbouring citizens have sent us a rare wine. / In thanks to you for melting the lake that was frozen over.
Fai: Wine~~~ <3
Ashura: It's nice that you're able to smile about it, / but I'm not sure about you taking wine over food.
Fai: Ahahah... It's just because Celes wine is so delicious!

11
Fai: Blood...!
Ashura: ....
Chii: Your Majesty, / have you been hurt?
Ashura: That's not it.

Syaoran: ...Must... hurry...
Person: Bodies have been discovered in the valley. / They seem to have been savaged by a wild beast.

14
Fai: I will go.
Ashura: Wait a moment.
Fai: I must make sure, and if it was indeed a beast -
Ashura: Wait.
Fai: But if more people fall victim to it...
Ashura: I see...

15
Fai: It may be some beast that has never before been seen in Celes!
Ashura: No... it is not.
Fai: Huh?
Ashura: It has always been here in Celes.

Fai: I will go and stop the beast! / No matter how many days it may take, I swear I will defeat it! / I cannot allow any more of the people of Celes to fall victim to it...!
Ashura: Well, then...

18-19
Ashura: It seems that you must defeat me.
