The only person at sight that can be relied on is this man… Is that even alright…?]

Chapter 209: Escape

[(Weekly Sunday 50th year Anniversary)This work is about-
Karasumori. A land bustling with spiritual energy. For more than four hundred years, it has been protected from Akayashi(demon/monster) by the specialists who deal with them. They are called “Kekkaishi“. In the present day, Sumimura Yoshimori and Yukimura Tokine are the two Kekkaishi that protect the land. However, the feuding between both families persists even today. Nevertheless, Yoshimori ignores the reasons and has fallen in love with Tokine who is two years older than him. And so, he foresees sealing the land and ridding the Akayashi from coming forth to the ever-changing land as necessities. In addition, Yoshimori wants to work together with Tokine as partners in order to dispel the estrangement between their families forever. But there is still a long long way to go. Right now, there are more and more troubles brewing in unique Karasumori, waiting for them to conquer!]

[side text: Yoshimori and co. are embarking towards The Guillotine Island in order to trail Tokine down. Hurry!!]

Miki: Excuse me.

Man: It has closed for the day.

Miki: We would like to go to The Guillotine Island.//
This is the certification for Island Entry.

(p3)
SFX: Phew

Man: Well then, this way.

Yoshi: (There are people from Urakai everywhere…)
(Sen: All are broken boats.)

Man: Oi, get up.

(p4)
Man: Including me, this boat can only take up to 5 people.

Miki: H----m….// Let’s see…

Hakota: Wah!/ Wait a sec!// I don’t want to be left alone!!

Sen: Huh--? But Hakota-kun, didn’t we said that you’ll need to stay behind as our liaison man?
(Yoshi: Ah!)
Hakota: I don’t want to be alone! /I don’t want to be alone!

Miki: Wait up, everyone…
Yoshi: Um,/ Oh yes!//
Tokine’s seat.// If we don’t leave an empty place for her…!

Miki:……..// Right.

(p5)
Sen: Well, Shu. You stay.
Shu: Alright…// (I knew it…)
(Hakota: Heh.)

(Yoshi: I’ll sit at the front.)
(Sen: Are ya sure this boat is okay?)
Miki: Excuse me…// But please make it as quick as possible.

Now then…//
SFX: Pulls
Yuugami: While that devil…/ No, I mean…// While Yashiro-san is not around,/ let us make the move now.
SFX: Tugs

(p6)
Tokine: Um…/ Will you be alright if you did that?
Yuugami: Hmph./ You still do not know what is going on, even now.// I don’t do it out of good will.

SFX: Turns around

Yuugami: It’s a favor.// During this period, I’m going to make you help me in investigating the Shinyuuchi Hunting till you die from vertigo!
SFX: Points
Tokine: Please do not point at me.

Yuugami: In any case, the Prosecution Office is an unincorporated zone.// Criminal or whatsoever, once you get out of here, you‘ll find a way eventually. //
Seek help from the people you know who have the power,/ and they will solve it with you…
SFX: Clunk//
Clunking, Clunking

(p7)
Yuugami: It locked…
Tokine: Let me break it?

Yuugami: What an uncivilized thought.// Take a good look behind you.//
This inquisition room,// contains 3 unusual living creatures. //
Those things// are trained to attack whoever force open this door to escape.

Tokine: Then…
Yuugami: But we have no time.// It’s critical to be a little wild sometimes.//
Are you// confident with your running?

(p8)
Monster: GYAOOOOOOOOOOO

(p9)
Yuugami: You leave me no other choice. Here’s a big gift from me.//
SFX: Pulls
Let me get rid one of you!

(p10)
(Yuugami: Do you still remember the route from this room to the path outside?)//
Of course, that weird thingy will chase after you.// Just try to avoid it whenever you can. //
The only thing that can get you out of the island is this registered transportation. // Use Kamina.

Tokine: Umm…/ is this really okay for you?
Yuugami: Hmph./ I can’t think of any reason for you to worry about me.//
You can say it’s for// protecting Karasumori.// Isn’t that unadorned purpose your duty?//
Therefore, you shouldn’t even be captured at such a place,// just to be brainwashed.

(p11)
Yuugami: Do not// let me see you coming back to this place again.

Yashiro: Yuugami.//
What on earth is going on…?
Yuugami: Ah,/ Yashiro-san. There is trouble./ The lady has escaped.

(p12)
Yuugami: But I got the two monsters to chase after her now.// I was nearly attacked as well, / so I have to get rid of one myself.

Yashiro: Yuugami…/ where is your luggage?
Yuugami: Ahh…// It's embarrassing to say this,// but it was stolen.

Yashiro: Isn’t that…/ your stock-in-trade which you would never leave it behind no matter where you go?
Yuugami: Right.// That lady is sure quite a catch.//
But no worries.// Without my volition, Kamina won’t be able to move at all.

(p13)
Yuugami: She can’t go far.// Please wait for a moment. I shall go and bring her back right now.

Man: Wha,/ What is that?!

Tokine: Argh, enough!// You are so pesky.//
KETSU!!

(p14)
(Yuugami: This has to be related to a series of the Shinyuuichi Hunting which sets the motion.)
Tokine: (Those words Yuugami-san has said… What does it really mean…?)//
(I have to be brainwashed… because I am a Kekkaishi?)// (So they can set me up as the real criminal of the Shinyuuchi Hunting?)//
(Or could it be…// to make me to commit the Shinyuuchi Hunting itself?)//
(………// I don’t think I have the power to do such a thing, // and perhaps, there might really be a way somehow or another…)//
(But!)// For the least, I must escape!!)

(p15)
Tokine: (To be captured here,// is not only my own business anymore…)//
(I might become a burden, before I even protected Karasumori!)//
Please, Kamina-chan!

(p16)
Tokine: (In this way,I can get out of the island…)
SFX: slips

(p17)
Tokine: Eh…?!

Sigh…//
Yashiro: Now, now. That lady. How should I deal with her then?

(p18)
This fog is really thick.
Miki: Can you be a little faster?
Man: Well,/ this fellow is already swimming at its top shape. //
And,// there’s a disturbance in the island again.

Sen: Oh.// I can see it.

[side text: Tokine’s welfare is?!
If they don’t hurry, the worst outcome will be… …
And so, the anxiety looms over to the next issue!!]
