Pg01
Chapter 174: Revelation

Large black title text inside box: Happy Shiritori*!!
*TL note: Shiritori is a Japanese word association game. You attempt to form a new word with the last syllable of the previous word, and so on.
Small text under title text: The rules are simple!! Make a continuous chain of fish names starting with Happy's trademark phrase 'Aye'! You lose if you repeat a name!!
Chain of words: Aye! -> Itou -> Unagi -> Ginbuna -> Nashifugu -> Guppy -> Piranha -> Aye!!
Small text under Happy's tail: This would be considered a loss (^_^)

Pg02
Natsu..?! // The Natsu of Edoras... of this land?!
sfx: Vroooom
Lucy was right, you look exactly like her.

U...// ugh..
So... that's the other me? How pathetic.

Our Natsu doesn't do so well on moving vehicles.

And he's supposed to be me? In this world, I'm the transport magic specialist known as the Fireball, ya know.

Uhgh.

Pg03
Speaking of which, this vehicle doesn't have an SE plug.
An SE plug?
A Self-Energy plug. It converts the driver's magical energy into fuel.

I see... there isn't any need for SE plugs here because no one has any magic!
In other words, it runs purely on magic?

Their transport technology is much more advanced than ours.

Uwaah!
Aah!
sfx: screech

Hey, what was that for!!
Not exactly.

Since magical energy is limited, the amount of fuel that can be converted from magic is also limited.
It isn't easy to get hold of now, either.

Pg04
That's why this is as far as I'm taking you.
Get off.

Wh...

You can't..
Any further and I won't be able to get back to the guild.
small text: What the hell, moving the guild around when they feel like it

Uoooh!! I've been revived~!
The other me has the right idea.

Pg05
Right! Off you go.
Aah!
Urgh!!

Going against the Kingdom is reckless. // Don't get us involved.

I only came to bail you out because Lucy... as in, the Lucy that I know, asked me to come.

I don't want any trouble // just want to continue driving around.

Hey.

You get off too!!
You... hey - what are you trying to...

As the same person, just let me say one thing

L - let go!! Stop it!
Don't make me get off!

You...
sfx: thud

Pg06
Why are you so good with moving vehicles?!
That was what you wanted to say--!?

Th..
that...

?

I-I'm sorry...
I don't know either.

Pg07
Wha?

A-are you really the other 'me' we were talking to?
Y...yeah... I get that a lot... people say my personality changes when I get on a vehicle.
This is the real Edo-Natsu?!!

Aaaah... please don't use such a loud voice!!
sfx: shiver shiver
I.. I'm scared!!

text: blank stare
Maybe you could try and mirror his actions.*
TL note: Possibly a reference to mirror mimicry in the previous chapter, but not entirely sure :/

Pg08
I'm sorry, I'm sorry // b-but, it's impossible for me!! // It's only because Lucy-san asked me to that I came all the way here.

It's okay... don't push yourself too hard.
He isn't much use as he is now, anyway.
Charle!!

Could it be... Wendy-san? // Uwah, you're so cute and small!!

The other me-san from Earthland -
Where do you think you're attaching the 'san's?!

I'm Happy, and this is Charle.

I'm - well, you probably already know, but -

Eeeek! I'm sorry!!! I'll do anything!!
...
You know, you should be nicer to me.

The Lucy from this world...

Pg09
She said I only had to bring you here... // that's why ...

!!!

This...
Is this the royal city?!
It's huge!!

Geez, you could've just told us we were here!!
Uwaaah... I'm sorry!!

Pg10
Awesome!!! I didn't think we'd get here so fast!!

Somewhere in there, everyone who was turned into lachryma...

Well, let's get a move on.

Wait, Charle-
So... thanks!!
Say hi to me for me!
Uh...um...

Are you really... going to fight...
the Kingdom?

Maybe, I dunno. // We kinda just want to save our friends.
Well... I guess we'll have no choice if they refuse to let them go.

Pg11
T... there's no way you'll win... // against the royal army...

[The castle town of the royal city]

Pg12
What's this...
It's pretty unexpected... they are a country ruled by a dictator, after all.
I thought the town would be more worn-out.
And we've gotten quite far into town, too.

It's worlds apart from Luen and Shikka // it's like an amusement park.

It's a waste of magical energy.
They've taken all the magic from Guilds and other countries and focused it on the royal city.

Pg13
A city of leisure and amusement was created to gain the popularity of the citizens.
What a despicable King.
!

Looks like something's going on over there.
Maybe there's a parade, or something.
How about we go take a look!
Aye sir!!
Everyone... we didn't come here to play, you know.

What's this what's this?
Wait for me, Natsu-!
Uwah, it's crowded.

Ugh!

Hey, why'd you suddenly sto-
!

Pg14

Pg15

Pg16
Lachryma...
This can't be...
Everyone from Magnolia...
That's not all. This is only part of it - there are marks from when they split it.
What? This isn't even the entire thing?!

Pg17
Your Highness!!!
Long live His Highness!

Children of Edoras
Our sacred kingdom has, through the use of Anima
produced 10 years worth of magical energy!

'Produced', he says. // More like stolen from our world!

Sing together, dance together... let us share in each other's joy!

Pg18
The people of Edoras have a right to shared ownership of this magical energy

for we are the only people who will progress to the future, the holy race!!!

No one shall steal our magic from us!!

And let me promise you that we will have more, even more magic!!

We shall have magic enough to make this look like trash!!!
Pa-chink

Pg19
E-do-ras!!
E-do-ras!
E-do-ras!
E-do-ras!

E-do-ras!
E-do-ras!

Natsu... bear with it!

I can't!!
That... that lachryma is....

Please...

Pg20
We all feel the same way...

Okay?

Hearts...
Lives...
Someone who tramples over them
I won't forgive him!!!
