Chapter 205: Initiation

Shikigami: Over there!

[side text: Although he has succeeded in activating Zekkai to protect himself, it's going to be hard to wipe off the feeling of failure….]

(p2)
[side text: Right after returning from the hole of the other world, they were unexpectedly ambushed…]

Mamezou: Like I‘ve said, it ended up…// that the thing we found from the other world,/ has been taken away by that suspicious dude.//
That’s how it goes.
Yoshi: ARGH-------!// I’m sorry! It’s my fault…//
If we had that Tenketsu look-alike…// maybe our suspicion would have been cleared…

Underling: That’s not it!// Having an encounter with the criminal of the Shinyuuchi Hunting is a reward nonetheless!//
However, the evidence to prove those words is no longer here…
SFX: downhearted

(p3)
SFX: whew
Tokiko: Any injuries?//
Yoshi: Ahh,/ I guess we’re okay…

Tokiko: Then there is no problem.//
You returned the umbrella to its owner,// and found the other hole.// Therefore, you did complete your mission peacefully, didn‘t you?//
That‘s already enough for the job.//
So, Mamezou-sama. What do you think, based on your observation from aside?
Mamezou: Well--/ it does seems a little overbearing for him but,/ as a whole, he works pretty hard.

Yoshi: Eh…// But, I…

(p4)
SFX:Sigh
Tokiko: Silly.// I never expected you to accomplish so many tasks at once.//
That is because you’re still immature,//so it’s fine that you couldn’t do all of them perfectly.//
By the way, that hole…// There’s a Nenshi laying around. Perhaps you’re trying to seal it on your own?
Yoshi:………//
……Uh-uh. But,/ it didn’t go smoothly either…
Tokiko: This can’t be helped then.//
I shall teach you.// Please pay a good attention.

(p5)
SFX: angry
Tokiko: Didn’t I told you it’s wrong?//
NET!// IMAGINE IT AS A NET!!// WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS?! EVEN YOUR SKILL ON NENSHI HASN’T IMPROVED BY A BIT AT ALL!!
Yoshi: Bu,/But…

Tokiko: When the thread has entangled with one another, stretch them out on the same time./ Look! Do it one more time!
Yoshi: Yes.// (Didn’t she say it’s ok that not everything has to be perfectly done…?)

Tokiko: Wrong!/ Don’t tell me you don’t even understand my *words, ah?!
Yoshi: Wha, what the?! You don’t have to say it that way~~
Underling: (What a Spartan…)

*{T.N= Old Lady actually says “Don't you even understand my Japanese?!”, but that wouldn’t make sense to us since we’re reading in English. So I used “words“.}
　
(p6)
Underling: Eh--,/ Could you be the spokesperson of the Lord from *Mushikinuma?
Mamezou: Indeed I am.

*{T.N= “Mushikinuma” is Uro-sama’s Shinyuuchi. Check out vol 5 or chapter 36-40}

Underling: I apologize for my rudeness, but I am from Urakai, and I am in charge in this area’s activities.//
Would you kindly explain to me about the shape of the Tenketsu look-alike in details? / We could investigate on it…//
Oh--That is one fine object.
SFX: draw, draw

Mamezou: You said, that you’re responsible for this area, right?
Underling: Uh. That’s not it. There are other people too.

Mamezou: If there’s a next time, the one targeted would be// Karasumori.

(p7)
Mamezou: My speculation is, that Hidagou is just a prelude. / The real target might be Karasumori. //
One thing I know…// is that after coming here, I’m more certain than ever that it was done by humans…//
You…// who belong to Urakai, should know, isn’t it?//
Whatever foolish things that have been committed up till now, it doesn’t really matter who did it anymore.// After all, the anger of the Gods do not aim at a particular person, but to the all of mankind. //
And so by the time the anger has reached to its peak….// In the end, / whether it’s the humans, or the things created by the humans,// all would be destroyed without a single trail.
(p8)
SFX: wind breeze

Mamezou: So… if you don’t want this to happen, // then you better do the clean-up yourself.

Yoshi: Alright!~~ I did it!//
So how is it, Old lady?!

(p9)
Yoshi: What?!/ It broke right after I said something?!

Tokiko: Enough. Hurry up and finish it.
Yoshi: Right…

Tokiko: I have my Shikigami to handle the huge hole across the other side. // The one over there has been nearly completed. / If you loosen up, this side would spill.//
Well, let’s seal this one up.// Give the Nenshi a twisting motion,/ and then pull them over to the brink…

Yoshi: Um.//Ummm…
Tokiko: It didn’t even seal up at all.
Yoshi: UGH---!!

(p10)
Yoshi: Um…
Tokiko: You don’t just shove all your power into it.// You have to consider about the direction you’re putting in too.

Yoshi: (Huh?)// (Mamezou seemed to have said the same thing too.)//
(The heart of the power…)//
Establish the heart of the power…
Tokiko: Right!//
Focus all your power into a point.//
But rather than introducing it in the straight line, you circulate around it.// This should make things easier.

(p11)
Yoshi: Uh. I got it.// Let me try.

Tokiko: You’re trying to use your senses to understand things.// But if you make use of your brain a little more, your comprehension and applications would greatly increase.

Yoshi: Eh…. But I’m not very good with it…
Tokiko: You don’t have to think too hard./ Right now, there is already a probable answer emerging, isn’t it?//
But it’s certain,/ that you’re not the type who can deal with things after thinking by yourself…//
And didn’t I say it a while ago,// that you’re still far too immature, and far too unstable…

(p12)
Tokiko: That’s why,// you need to borrow more of the intelligence and the strength from the ones who are by your side.//
Don’t be arrogant. The people around you,// don’t simply exist to be protected by you.//
They, too// possess the power to assist you.

(p13)
Tokiko: When you combine those powers together,/ you can accomplish so much more.

Yoshi: Uh…
Tokiko: Well, overly depending on things can be troublesome too…/ but it’s much better than you go overboard.//
At least I’m here to watch you./ So please put in all your effort.
Yoshi: Yes!
Tokiko: (Yes!// It’s closing up!)//
Good. Keep up the work.

(p14)
Tokiko: (Although it’s rough, the malleable threads aren’t too bad.)// (Trying to suppress the power at this time seems somehow forced. But it’s still alright.)

Yoshi: Ugh…
Tokiko: Look. Again! Don’t slip!// Gather your attention a bit….
SFX: tap,tap

(p15)
Tokiko: WHA….// WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?!//
I did told you to twirl them up,/ but you don’t need to spin yourself too!

Yoshi: Shut up--------!/ I think it’s easier for me to understand if I do this.//
I will show you that I can seal this up, right now!// Take a good look!

Tokiko: (ohohoh)

SFX: OHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~

(p16)
Black Man: it’s the residential neighborhood in broad daylight. / You better be careful.

White Man: (fufu…)This is regrettable.// Am I that unreliable? //
My Kamina’s protective coloration is perfect.// Any mere ignorant citizen would never spot it.//
Beside---, I will show you something so dazzling that it could even blind your eyes; as I shall perform a landing that it’s so magnificence, so bewitching…
Black Man: That would be great if you can really do it.

(p17)
SFX: twitch
Tokine’s mother: (KYA----)TOKINE---!//
Tokine: ?!/ Mother?!
SFX: Dash

(p18)
Black Man: I am Yashiro. I am from Urakai’s Prosecution Office, Special Investigation Team.// We’re here for the God murder case on yesterday night…
White man: May I ask if Yukimura Tokine-san is at home?

[side text: Tokine has been charged for suspicion. Will she be taken away?]
