Jio to Ougon to Kinjirareta Mahou 13

Same old, reserved for Simple and Ala Altra Scans...

=============

[1]

1: Iregaura and Gin are like family to me... // Gin being my brother... an older brother...
2: Whether I was looking at him from behind or not, no matter what he looked like, I was supposed to be able to recognise Gin as Gin.

Text: There in Parnoas, he sees a man with the same name as his senior apprentice, Gin... Are they really the same person...?

3: I'm supposed to know...
4: Yet...

5: Why...?

Chapter 13: The Gin they remember

Text: The masked man throws Jio's mind into turmoil!!

1: Why...
2: Am I not sure...?!

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[3]

1: Is it because he's wearing a mask?
2: No!
3: Speak...!
[Lit: My voice...!]

4: If I can talk...
[Lit: If I can work my voice...]
5: ...
6: I can call out to him, and if I can get him to respond, then...!

7: If I call out to him...
8: He will

9: He will
10: Notice me

[4]

1: Man, he's hella dangerous.
2: Doesn't seem like an opponent we can easily armstrong into answering why the little squirt's being targeted.

3: Jio, I'm just double-checking, but was that Gin or some---...

[5]

1: ...So that wasn't Gin?

2: I don't... // Know...

3: But I should be able to tell if I heard his voice... // If I'd spoken...

4: But I didn't...
5: I didn't want him to notice me...

6: Well then, good.
7: Eh?

8: If he saw you, he'd probably have seen the little squirt too. // With an opponent like THAT, we don't wanna be discovered when we've got a kid with us.

9: Ah...

[6]

1: Sorry, Rin.

2: I was only thinking about myself...

3: Anyway, the two of you head back to the inn.

4: ... What about you, Saza?

[7]

1: Just a little intel gathering...

2: About where they're headed to,
3: Their aims... Stuff like that.

[8]

1: Even if I rack my brains over and over again,
2: I still can't tell.

3: Is that person Gin?

4: But it feels like Rin and I both seem to feel the same way about that person...

5: And what we feel is---...

SFX: clack

[9]

1: ...Oh, // So the squirt's asleep.
2: Saza.

3: Anyway, I've gotten ahold of some information.

4: They're aiming for Ruwell.
SFX: fwish

5: Ruwell?
6: It's a country.

7: Ruwell is here.

[10]

1: To its north-east... the small country on the upper-right of it is Oribiretis, which is surrounded by Parnoas, and to the bottom-right of Ruwell is Redai-Sorros.

Map: top to bottom: Parnoas // Oribiretis // Ruwell // Redai-Sorros

2: It's sort of different from the map I remember...

3: The next target after Ruwell is probably Redai-Sorros.

4: ... 'Target'...?

5: They want war.

[11]

1: War...

2: Oribiretis was originally on the verge of being absorbed into Parnoas, so this war's strangeness stands out, moreso than the fact that war broke out. However... // This may very well have been intended to create a foothold for invading Ruwell.

3: They're likely to attack Redai-Sorros after Ruwell.

4: Ruwell... Will Redai-Sorros be okay?!

5: If Ruwell gets beaten by Parnoas, we'll go down in no time.
6: ...

[12]

1: However...
2: I don't think the "Butterflies of Magic" guys are gonna just sit this out quietly.

3: Butterflies of Magic...?

4: Putting it simply, Butterflies of magic are...

5: The watchmen of magic. // They're a gathering of the masters of magic.
6: A bunch of people who proclaimed themselves world regulators.

[13]

1: An organisation headed by one of the Three Sages, Cheriano Verseish.

2: Is that person powerful...?
3: It's a rumour, but that person's said to be the most powerful of the Three Sages.

4: Well, // It's because of these guys that our current era hasn't descended into utter chaos.

5: ...But, aren't the Parnoas people aware of this as well?

[14]

1: Exactly.
[T/N: I'd translate it as 'you've hit the nail on its head', but uh, the bubble's kinda small]

2: That's why, we've got to increase the chances of the Butterflies of Magic's victory.
3: ?

4: As allies, we're worth a hundred people, right?

[15]

1: The Butterflies of Magic are a creepy lot, but there's no helping it. // If Redai-Sorros has also become a target, then it's become our problem.
2: Creepy?

3: Watchmen, regulators, what kind of people do you think they are?

4: So they're that sort, huh...
5: But if this goes well, we can find out about that little squirt from the masked man...

5: Moreover, it won't do us bad to demand a favour from the Butterflies of Magic.

6: Why?

7: Being one of the Three Sages means being one of Iregaura's acquaintance, right?
8: So they may very well know something about you.

[16]

1: Is that so...
2: Yes, // There's that...

3: Meeting that masked person was // Scary...
4: And if that person was Gin, then that'd be... // Even scarier...

[17]

1: But I won't get anywhere until I've confirmed it.
2: I will protect Rin, // And fight together with Saza!

3: And I'll find out who I am!!

4: If that person really is Gin,
5: Then I'd want the Gin I remember, the Gin I know to come back.

[18]

1: Just seeing that masked man is enough to make me tremble...
2: He's strong!
3: But-

4: I...
5: I believe the Gin I know is millions of times stronger, so---...

Text: He wants to meet // that smiling Gin one more time...!!
