In a way, I'm glad there's such a big buffer, makes going back to change stuff so much easier... since scanlators almost never release v2 of anything

Chapter 30 Money's most important?

Text: The Curse of Gold is mine~~!!

Kirihata Ayumi

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[2]

Side: The enemy who is targetting the owner of the Curse of Gold, Jio, is arriving at any moment?! Jio declares that everyone should protect him, but...

1: We all agree that I need to be protected...
2: Why don't we have everyone each come up with a plan?

3: Not everyone agrees, but then again you never bothered asking for our opinions.
4: And what's up with that attitude?!

5: If you don't want that Ride dude to kill me and get the Curse of Gold, then isn't it obvious what the conclusion will be? I don't even have to ask.

6: Or do you want me to kneel on the floor and beg?
7: I'll do it as many times as you want if you pay me, y'know?
7 text: I'm cheap
8: You little...!

9: Jio, why do you sell fights...?

10: Why, it's gotta be money! Money!!
SFX: triumphant
[T/N: I hate this SFX]
11:　You gotta protect yourself, but you gotta have money.
身を守るにも金だ

[3]

1: I ain't dying until I get filthy rich using the Curse of Gold!!
SFX: determination
[T/N: yeah, I hate this SFX]

2: Dammit, but if I use the Curse of Gold now, I'm gonna wish that I can protect my Curse of Gold.
3: Jio, are you confusing yourself?

4: ...How vulgar.

5: Raycel seems like he thinks there's something to this child but... // All that's on that child's mind is nothing but his love for money.

6: He's such a fool, yet he's the world's best magician...

7: But...

[4]

1: The professor has an eye for people.
2: Sherry, you should know that yourself.

3: ...
4: I...

5: That's true... // But...
6: It's just a question of time before the Elzion people reach here.
7: We need to switch locations urgently.

8: Fortunately, we have a true sight monocle that can locate their positions...

9: ...Sherry, // Do you remember what Ride's magical power index was at?
10: Um...?

11: Wasn't it 2120?
12: Why'd he ask something so obvious...?

[5]

1: Sherry, Fi.
2: Take Jio with you right now and exit via the A-7 route.

3: Raycel...?
SFX: babump...

4: Aren't you coming along?
5: There's something I have to finish up with here. I'll catch up with you right away, so please, don't worry about me and go.

SFX: babump babump

6: Jio, // Sherry and Fi are strong, but...
7: They're girls... So please protect them.

8: Right,
9: Roger that.

10: Sherry,
11: Fi.

[6]

1: I'll leave Jio in your hands.

2: Under... // stood...

3: Jio, let's go.
4: 'Kay.

[8]

SFX: kaboom

1: Haha, // Hahaha!
2: Hahahaha!!

3: I feel it, // I know it.
4: I can feel it!

5: I should've just done this sooner.

[9]

SFX: creak creak creeeakk

SFX: booom

1: Long time no see, Raycel Erdio.
SFX: step...

2: ...I'd thought that this magic true sight monocle might've been malfunctioning...
3: I'd hoped that to be the case, but...

[10]

1: You've a magical index of fifty-eight thousand.
2: What's with that power, Ride Varoudia?

3: Did you stay back just to confirm it for yourself?
4: A researcher's drive for 'knowledge' sure is weird.

5: I do not deny that.
6: So, your answer?

7: ...Guys with low magical indices use magical tools with tanks, right?
8: Magic accumulates in the tanks... Thanks to this, the weaklings at magic can use magic as well. One of your greatest inventions.

9: That's...
10: No way...

[11]

1: Humans are like tanks.
2: Is it that strange an idea?

3: Impossible...

SFX: squirt

SFX: stab

SFX: seep...

4: Now I've exceeded sixty thousand, haven't I.

[12]

1: Do you think you can pull that off without any consequences?!

2: I'm of a different calibre.

3: I will surpass Jio.

4: No, // I'll kill him before that.

5: I'll stop you.

6: Will you do as warmup?

[13]

1: Now that we've come this far...
2: We should...

3: Be safe?
4: Yes!

5: YOU are safe.
6: But, Raycel...

7: Then I'm gonna hop back for a bit.

8: Wh...
9: What, did you just say?!

[14]

1: Then what did Raycel...!!

2: 'Risk his life to let us get away for'?

3: ...!

4: It's simple.

5: In order, // To protect me and you, right?
T/N: yes, improper English

6: He asked me for a favour. // To 'please protect' you, that's why I accompanied you all the way.

7: But I'd said this: // 'Everyone, combine our powers to protect me'.

[15]

1: I ain't planning to force the burden onto just one person, y'know.

2: So, that's how it is!
SFX: clang

3: Wait...
4: A mo...

5: It won't open?!
6: He must've locked it from the inside!!

7: Then...
8: What idiocy!!

9: By the time he gets back, it'll be too late...!!
10: Raycel stayed behind just to slow them down...!

[16]

1: Raycel's no longer // By my side...

2: ...As I thought, the professor had no intention of leaving that hideout... the laboratory itself standing...

3: Yes, because that was something constructed for the world's top magician.

4: The world's best magician...
5: For that man who doesn't care about all that stuff...!!

6: Doesn't care...
7: Certainly, that may be the case.

8: But I'd like to try and bet on him.

9: Sherry...

[17]

1: Truth is, you actually feel the same way as I do, don't you?

SFX: crack

2: I can't even get warmed up with you.

3: Any last words?

4: Then again, I'm gonna kill off the guys who're gonna hear it.

[18]

1: The secret underground passageway.
2: The underground hideout...

3: ?

4: I do love making arrangements.
T/N: yakusoku has a double-meaning of promise and rule that isn't quite translatable. Most people think of 'promise' without given context, hence Ride's confusion
5: shuup
6: You might say it's almost standard procedure for me...

SFX:

7: Like the arrangement of installing
8: click
9: Explosive devices in the underground hideout?

[19]

[20]

1: Wha...

2: Jio?

3: Why, did you come back?! // Do you want to die?!

[21]

1: I love money!

2: There's hardly anything that's more important than money!!
3: Aah, it's 'cuz I'm a money maniac!!

4: But I understand.

5: To those kids, // You're part of that 'anything' that's the exception to money.

6: And you saved me as well.

[22]

SFX: roar

SFX: bang

SFX: boom

SFX: rumble

SFX: bang bang

1: He's already mastered the use of the magical tool I had just given him...

2: Dammit!

SFX: rumble
SFX: roar
SFX: rumble

3: At this rate, we're gonna get buried alive before we get outta here!

[23]

1: Jio, you can still get out if it's just you alone...
2: You're so annoying, shut up!!

3: I gotta do something, somehow or anoth...

4: ?!

5: Jio!!

[24]

SFX: booom

SFX: boom
SFX: twitch

[25]

SFX: slump

1: Raycel...

2: Ji...

3: Idiot!!

4: You didn't care...!
5: All you ever thought about was money...!

6: Money...

7: You just thought about money...
8: I hope you got away...

[26]

1: It's because he knew about the value of money...

2: It's because he's that kind of person, that's why...
3: He understood fully... the importance of the things which you can't buy with money.

4: ...
5: ...!
