Jio to Ougon to Kinjirareta Mahou 22

Reserved for Simple Scans, etc.

Technically done with 1.5 of the 2 other chapters I have to translate, but seeing as they released ch21 of Jio already... I figured I might as well TL this one.

Lequios really is a pain to translate.

1 If you wish to obtain the power to defeat the masked man within a short span of time, you must draw out your own abilities to their very limits...
2 I shall assist you with this.

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

3 However, this process may result in your death...
4 And should you survive this process, you may still not be the masked man's match.

5 With this in mind, are you still prepared to undertake this trial?

Chapter 22: Mystery behind the Curses
Kirihata Ayumi

Text Putting their lives on the line---...!!

1 Excellent.
2 Look into my eyes, the three of you, // I shall place you in the world of illusions and find out your respective abilities.

3 ! // Wait! Rin's...
4 I'll do it.

5 I... want to become stronger too.

6 It is her wish.
7 And not because those around her want to.

[4]

1 Girl, open up yourself to the illusion.
2 All right?

3 Okay.

4 Well then, let us begin.

[5]

1 Boy.

2 Azaard?

[6]

1 Boy.

2 You possess two curses, am I right?

3 Yup.

4 I shall school you on how to use your two curses, fire and ice,
5 Without them cancelling each other out.

6 I can use them a little.
7 But I always end up falling asleep...

8 Far from it.
9 That was simply the consequence of the curses cancelling each other out.

[7]

1 It is the power from them cancelling out- you are not using them.

2 In order to use them without them cancelling each other out, you must obtain the agreement of the two curses, fire and ice.
3 However, not only have you not obtained their agreement, the curse of ice harbours great dislike for you.

4 Agreement? Dislike?
5 Then it's almost like---
6 Boy, you should have sensed this.

[8]

1 Curses have personalities.

2 There are many ways curses are born, but they all have one point in common.
3 And that is, there is always a person's strong feelings involved...

4 And thus, they are obstinate.

5 Curses are simultaneously humans, magical beasts, as well as magic itself.
6 They cannot be classified into any single category.

[9]

1 Currently, the curses do not devour your lifespan.

2 Let me ask you once more.
3 Despite this, do you still seek power?

4 Yes!

5 Then let us proceed

SFX whoosh
6 !

[10]

1 To the world of the curses...

2 Eh,
3 What?

4 Ah...

5 There are two paths?
6 Do they lead to the curse of fire and curse of ice...?

[11]

1 This has to be the curse of ice's.

2 The curse of ice harbours great dislike for you.

3 In that case, I should first visit--...

4 Ice.

5 I don't really understand why he hates me, but
6 If it's something I did, then I should hurry up and apologise.

7 Hmph,

8 So it never crossed his mind... that it might be because the curse of fire is on his side?
9 Interesting.

[13]

1 That's
2 The curse of ice.

SFX whooosh
3 !

[14]

SFX roar

1 Ugh...

2 Looks like he really hates me...

3 But // I

4 Have to get stronger!
5 So that's why, I want to borrow your strength...!

6 Why are you so angry...?!

SFX flare
7 ?!

[23]

1 What's this...?
2 I can see lots of things reflected in them... They look like frgaments of memories...
3 Why didn't you kill them?

4 !

5 Why, // Why didn't you kill them?

6 'Why'...? // Kill who...?

7 Are these the curse of ice's memories?
8 Kill

9 Kill.

10 Kill everything!!

[16]

1 ?!

2 Where's this...?
3 Could it be

4 The Curse of Ice's...
5 Past?

6 You're terrible!

[17]

1 Why'd you kill it?!

2 It's just a kitten!
3 So cruel!

4 So it's true that ice magic users are cold-blooded, huh!

5 Oi, stoppit.
6 He might finish us off as well.

7 We should stay away from these kindsa people. // Let's go.

[18]

1 It really is cruel... Killing off such a young kitten...

2 But...

3 Is it really this child who did it...?
Text The young man's sorrowful eyes tugs at Jio's heart...
