Kekkaishi 200

I apologise for the late entry. I've been working throughout the entire week without rest and fallen ill, so I can only do it after I'm feeling a bit better.
But now, here we have....

Kekkaishi 200th chapter!:wtf

Congratuation to Kekkaishi! It's no easy feat at all.
Meanwhile, we have a new arc!(And colored spread and cover. Woohoo!)
This time, Yoshimori is visiting his future grandmother-in-law that dummy God's Shinyuuchi to return the umbrella.
That's our nice Yoshi-yoshi!

[serialized 200 Chapters Anniversary !!!]
[As long as I have my friends, I can stand up to anything with all my passion.]

(p1)
[side text: Setting out from Karasumori; Curtain up for the new chapter!]
Yoshi: So this is Hidagou, huh?//
Hm-----.// Which way is bet----ter?

Mamezou: Fool.// This is just the entrance. It’s much further inside.
Yoshi: That’s why,/ I told you to lead the way, Mamezou. //
So that fellow,/ came from this place…//
There are rice fields everywhere.

(p2-P3)
Chapter 200: Hidagou

[side text: Yoshimori, who first ventured into the Shinyuuchi after the hunting. That place contains something unimaginable….]
[Congratulations, for serialized 200 chapters!!!]

(p4)
[The same morning]
Yoshi: KETSU!!

SFX: Move here
-Boy.
SFX: Move there
-Little boy…

(p5)
SFX: Stop
-boy…
Yoshi: Phew…

Mamezou: YOU LITTLE BRAT!!/ Mamezou, Uro-sama’s closest aide has came by to visit!!
SFX: (Metal ball crushes onto the ground)

Yoshi: Don’t just burst in and shout out of nowhere.
Mamezou: Fool, I’ve been calling you for countless times./ What’re ya anxious about?
Yoshi: Shut up--!/I’m like that sometimes when I’m focused.// So, what’s up?

(p6)
Mamezou: Last night…/ Looks like the owner of Hidagou has appeared in Karasumori.
Yoshi: Ah…

Mamezou: Truly…// A tragic outcome indeed…//
And it was actually by a human that he…. ….//
Yoshi: No, I’ve already told you that it can’t be helped….//
Tokine has no ill intention at all…

Mamezou: Fool, what I’ve said is the underlying truth. // A God should not exist to be threatened by the likes of humans. //
…. In the future, putting an end to this is necessary…

(p7)
Mamezou: After all, when we lose the land that we must protect,// everything will be meaningless, even if the God would live forever.

Yoshi: Mamezou.
Mamezou: Huh?
Yoshi: Do you know his place of origin?//That fellow’s……umbrella is still here,// so I would like to return it properly…//
Can you show me the way?

[Hidagou]
Yoshi: Anyway,/ it doesn’t seem like anything’d happened from a glance around here.

(p8)
Mamezou: Look more carefully, little boy.// There’re wastelands here and there.//
Once the land is deprived from the God’s protection…//it’s impossible to yearn for a good harvest.

Yoshi: Are you really sure this’s the right way?// Huh?

(p9-p10)
Yoshi: (Ah, Isn’t that the old lady---?// What’s she doin’…/ Hm? Okuni’s subordinate is here too…?)

(p11)
Yoshi: What the heck is that…?!

(p12)
SFX: Shocked
Tokiko: The one over there.//
Are you going out, or are you coming out? Please make a choice.// It’s very distracting when you’re nosing around.

SFX: Silence

Yoshi:……
SFX: leaves drifting

Yoshi: Eh-----,/ I----…//
What the heck are you doing down here? That thingy is…

Tokiko: (I should be asking that…)
Underling: No, /It’s the usual procedure. After the Shinyuuchi hunting, the ruined space might leak to the public.// So I requested Yukimura-san to seal it.
(p13)
Tokiko: Uh-uh, that’s right…/ In the end, it’s my people who killed the owner here.// I have to deal with the cleanup, at least. //
So….//What is your purpose here then?

Yoshi: ---------// I….
Mamezou: Geting older, aren’t you? Young lady.

Tokiko: MAMEZOU-SAMA?!
Mamezou: Humph~

Tokiko: It’s been a long time…
Mamezou: About 50 years, I guess.
Tokiko: Are you running an errand here for Uro-sama?

(p14)
-Old lady!
Yoshi: Erh…Well,// I'd …like to help.// Is there…. Something I can do?

Tokiko: There is nothing I would ask you for.//
Are you…// doing this again for approval?

Yoshi: No! I…
-Oi, young lady!

Mamezou: I've never seen this before. // So how is this “closure” materialized?

Tokiko: Let me see…/ The process is similar to sewing.

(p15)
Tokiko: You form a net-like Kekkai around the edges of the hole,// and after the entire thing is covered, you tighten the net. // For the insufficient areas, just add on with the new closure.

Mamezou: Add on? //Depending on the pace which the hole is splitting, the sewing can be sealed
rather quickly.//
In addition, if the other world is destroyed, it would seal itself whenever it wants to.
Tokiko: That is….

Mamezou: Humph,// Is there someone else who interfered with the Domain of Gods…?

(p16)
Underling: WAH!!// Huh?// WAHHHHHHH!
SFX: dangling
Yoshi: Oi, are you ok?
Underling: Ah, this is kinda dangerous….

Tokiko: (The situation looks strange since a while ago…)
SFX: wind blow
(Could this be…)

(p17)
Yoshi: What was that?! The net broke all of the sudden…
-The one over there!
Tokiko: You said you want to help, didn’t you?//
This other world…// I’m afraid there are other exits that are connected to it.
Can you check it out for me?//
I want you// to enter the otherworld.

(p18)
Yoshi: Eh?
Tokiko: This way is much faster than searching from the outside.//
Likewise, we may need to seal both the exit and the entrance when the time has come. // It wasn’t serious, but it’s better to finish this as soon as possible.//
The inside is probably half ruined. // You are a Kekkaishi after all, so you should be able to do something.//
So what do you think? // I won’t force you if it’s too risky.

(p19)
Mamezou: Wait a minute.//
There is something…// in this other world….
