Kekkaishi 198

For once, Kekkaishi is acting like a regular Shounen work as there are fewer dialogues for this chapter.(Well, it's good since I can finish it faster. OHOH~:tem) But Kekkaishi is still considered as a verbose work when compared to other shounen series.
Well, that's a good thing too. Isn't it?

If you've know the spoilers or even read the raws beforehand, you should know there's a plot twist.
It's this chapter.

(p1)

[side text: Tokine, who was incapacitated.
Yoshimori, who must stay focused to support the school.
A God who reveals its indisguised hostility.
In this kind of situation, what will Yoshimori’s choice be?]

Chapter 198: Decision

(p2)
[side text: Yoshimori wants to believe in Tokine. However…]

SFX: Growl
Tokine: No, I can’t pull it out at all…

Yoshi: Tokine…!

(p3)
Yoshi: Shit…
Sen: Yoshimori’s attention has been disrupted, as the Kekkai that supported the school is in imminent danger…//
(Our opponent is a God, so we have to handle it very carefully.// But if this goes on, we’ll be gone right on the spot….)//
(No, killing the God right here is absolutely unwise./ Recently, we’ve already been suspected that we're related to the *Shinyuuchi hunting incident...)//(Even though it’s impossible, chasing him out seems to be the only best solution!)

Yoshi: (If that fellow is really the “God of Calamity”),//(then all the more…)//
Tokine…//is…is it better for me to watch you in silence?

*{T.N= "Shinyuuchi" means a protected divine land. Our Karasumori is a Shinyuuchi, for example.}

(p4)
(After all, what you’re doing right now…)// only shows that you don’t believe in that woman’s power at all, isn’t it?)

Yoshi: (That's not it…)// I-----…

(p5)
Tokine: It’s not like I want this umbrella.// I just want you to leave this place. That’s all. //
If I return it to you, will you leave?//
Tell me.// Where do you come from?//
If you’re a God,// then it’s better for you not to leave your own land.

(p6)
Tokine: (It’s changing again!!)// Ah!!

(p7)
Sen: (You decided to help in the end…?)//
However…//
Becoming a new bait to lure that dummy out…//doesn’t seem too bad.

(p8)
Sen: Beside, WAHHHHH--------!!/ Wait, Yoshimori, you gotta focus on the Kekkai too!!
Yoshi: (I guess I just can’t sit down and watch quietly….)

SFX: Stare


(p9)
Sen: ………..// Argh, enough!!// I got it!//
Oi, here!// Yoshimori!!

(p10)
Sen: Throw the umbrella over here.// I’ll do it!//
You focus on supporting the school!!// I’m an *Ayakashi Majiri, so I can move much faster than you!// I’m the best for the job!!//
Hurry up and throw it to me. Now!//
Throw!

God: Give…

Yoshi: (He’s speaking?!)

*{T.N= "Ayakashi Majiri" is a half monster/demon,half human.}

(p11)
God: GIVE…IT…//…BACK!!!

Yoshi: Eh?!

(p12)
Yoshi: Blood…Tears?!

Sen: More malice…

God: Give…it//…back!!//
Give it…
Sen: Yoshimori! Drat! // It's getting stronger!!
God: back…!
Sen: Quick, the umbrella!

God: GIVE IT…
Sen: Throw it here already!!

(p13)
Sen: What…

Yoshi: If it’s really that important, I shall return it then.//
Sorry.

(p14)
Yoshi: Ah…
Sen: Yoshimori!!

(p15)
Yoshi: Ugh…//
Wah…(My body, heavy…!!)//
Kagemiya?!

(p16)
Sen: Bastard, I’ve had enough of you from the bottom of my heart!!//
You ignore people’s words…// And then you want to protect everything by yourself./ Now look what you‘ve done.//
You’re sinking too!

Yoshi: Kagemiya….// You, too…// The rain…

(p17)
Sen: Don’t you understand?!// In Karasumori, you’re the legitimate successor!// Tell me! If you die, what’ll happen then?!//
(The success is all upon you!!) Otherwise, everything’s just going to sink!!

(p18)
Sen: Wait, that’s…

Tokine: METSU!!

[side text: She has committed a crime for killing a God?!
Oh no!!]
