Fairy Tail
Chapter 55
So As Not To See Those Tears
[insert text: A quiet afternoon spent together with the forest // With the fount of liveliness right alongside me <3]

People: Don't you think we should run for it...? // That magic seal looks almost complete...
Kana: You want to leave the guild behind?
People: Ah... No...
Kana: There are people fighting for us in there, too! // We have to believe in them.
Mirajane: (Elfman... // You're in no state to be fighting......) // !

3
Mirajane: Ahh!
People: Mira!!! // Mira-chan!!!
Mirajane: Whoa...
Jose: Attempting to deceive us... I don't think I like you, girl. // I'll just smash you to pieces.
Kana: MIRAAAAA!!!!
Mirajane: Uungh...
Kana: Hurry up and stop that giant!!! / Natsu!!! Gray!!! Elfman!!!

4
Sol: My name is Sol. You may call me Monsieur Sol.
Elfman: What great timing. // You can tell me how to stop this giant. // Hngh... // Beast Arm "Kokugyuu"!!!!
[TN: "Kokugyuu" = "Black Cow"... though maybe "Black Bull" would sound a little better :p]

5
Sol: Oh? Will you be all right with just that one arm?
Elfman: Huh.
Sol: It seems the rumours were accurate after all... // I know all about you...... No, more than that, my head contains details pertaining to all the mages of Fairy Tail.
Elfman: Don't you ever stop talkin'?!!!
Sol: I do believe... you had a younger sister, yes?
Elfman: !!!
Sol: Sable Dance!!!
[TN: "Sable" = "sand" in French.]
Elfman: Ugh...

6
Elfman: Where did he...?!!
Sol: Roche Concerto!!!!
[TN: "Roche" = "rock" in French.]
Elfman: Guaaagh!!! // Ugh! // Agh!
Sol: A while back, you underwent a full-body Take Over, but it went wrong... You ran wild... // Your precious little sister gave her life to stop your rampage... Isn't that right?
[TN: Okay, it's official. Elfman = Shishio Gen from Kekkaishi.]
Sol: And the trauma that resulted from that incident has prevented you from being able to perform the full-body Take Over ever since...
Elfman: .........

7
Elfman: Beast Arm "Tetsugyuu"!!!!
[TN: "Tetsugyuu" = "Iron Cow". Again, maybe "Bull" would be nicer :p]
Elfman: !!! // Wha...
Sol: Salut.
Elfman: Ugh... Disgusting guy...
Sol: Non, non, non, that is nonsense with three "non"s!
Elfman: Why don't you get off me, Moncher Sol?!!!
Sol: It's "Monsieur", actually.
Elfman: Ughh!

8
Elfman: Uuuugh!
Sol: Have we reached the finalé already?
Elfman: This guy... he's a lot stronger than he looks...!!!
Sol: Hmm?

9
Elfman: I have no choice but to do it!!!! // (Lisana...) // Ugh...
Sol: Hmmmmm...!!! You should avoid attempting that which you cannot achieve! / It would appear your power has fallen drastically thanks to that attempt!

10
Sol: Voilà!!!
Elfman: AAAAAAGH!!!
Sol: Hmmmmmmm... As a gentleman, it is only right that I should end this with my most powerful spell. // Plâtre Sonata!!!!
[TN: "Plâtre" is "plaster" in French.]
Elfman: GAAAAAAAAHHHH!

11
Sol: This is the power of Element 4.
Elfman: Wh.... // What is... that...?
Mirajane: U... Ugh....
Elfman: ......
Mirajane: E.... // Elfman......

12
Elfman: NEE-CHAN!!!!
Sol: Oh... your older sister... In other words... That woman out there, would she happen to be the famous Mirajane-sama, once feared as the "Demon"? // My, my... It would appear her magical power has dwindled... How unfortunate...... // I am afraid she is currently being punished for attempting to deceive us. // She should be smashed apart any moment now...
Mirajane: R... Run...

13
Elfman: Nee-chan... / The hell do you call this...?!!! Let her go right now!!! // Guaaahhh!!!
Mirajane: Stop it!!! It doesn't matter what happens to me!!! But just leave Elfman alone...!!!
Sol: Will you have to go through it all again, I wonder? // Such a pity... losing first your younger and then your elder sister right before your very eyes...
Mirajane: Elfman!!! Run!!! Please!!!
Elfman: Wh... why.....?! // I swore that I'd never see your tears ever again, Nee-chan... // So why are you crying...?!!!!

14
Mirajane: Elfman...
Elfman: WHO WAS IT THAT MADE YOU CRY?!!!!
Sol: Quoi?!
Mirajane: You mustn't!!! You can still only use a single arm...!!!
Sol: She's right...

15
Elfman: Lisana died... all because I was too weak...
Mirajane: That's not true!!!
Elfman: I don't want to feel that way ever again!!!!

16
Elfman: I want to become a strong man, someone who can protect you, Nee-chan!!!
Mirajane: Uuugh... // Aaah...
Elfman: LET NEE-CHAN GOOOOOO!!!!

17
Sol: Hm.... / Hmm? // Th... This is.....

18
Sol: Full-body Take Over Beast Soul?!!!

19
Sol: Non, non, non, non, non, non!!!! // Non!
