Amano Akira

Target 165 Rokudou Mukuro VS Glo Xinia

[illusions!? Shadows!? Still full of mystery, the Kokuyou Trio have joined the fight!!]

-2-

Glo: I must be losing my edge.
How could I have let such illusions harm my Box.

Mukuro: Don’t be so hard on yourself, Glo Xinia.
What you’re seeing before your eyes are no ordinary illusions, after all.

Mukuro: Using my Skill as the core,
僕の能力を核とし

Mukuro: and with the Vongola Ring, Chrome’s illusions have improved so ultimately that these forms are now real bodies imbued with flesh and substance.
In a sense, these are real illusions.
ボンゴレリングにより究極にまで高められたクロームの幻術で 肉付けした形ある実体
言わば有幻覚

Ken: You get it, you crooked kappa?
Having Kakipii as our resident geeky four-eyed kappa is more than enough.
Chrome: !

[* Note: A kappa is Japanese water imp known for its peculiar hairstyle, so the bobbed hairstyle worn by Glo (and Chikusa) is called a kappa hairstyle. You would also have noticed that Glo’s bob hair has crooked bangs.]

-3-

Glo: Kappa…
SFX: TWITCH

Chikusa: …I’ll get angry too, Ken.

Chrome: …Chikusa.
Mukuro: Kufufufu.
Whether it’s now or in the past, Ken and Chikusa, you two haven’t changed at all.

Glo: Fools…
Let me instill it in you one more time…
今一度植えつけてやろう

Glo: That which is going to cause your utter and complete defeat–
the fear of Glo Xinia!!
お前を完膚無きまでに叩きのめした グロ.キシニアの恐怖を!!

-4-

Chrome: !!
Ken: It’s a twister infused with the Dying Will flames.
Mukuro: Indeed, it is.

Glo: Die and be gone, you fakes!!

-5-

Chrome: ….Ah.

Glo: Wha!?
SFX: twitch

Ken: Kong Channel!!!

Glo: (It-it happened again… a physical attack was blocked by an illusion!
Impossible… Are they… real then…?)

Ken: Guh!
SFX: slash

Glo: !

-6-

Glo: (I see… I see…)
I see.

Glo: I don’t know the reason but indeed, these unusual illusions are real.
It looks like I’m better off acknowledging that first.

Glo: But, because they’re too real, therefore…
They do not possess strength that’s greater than the real thing, which means they also have fatal weaknesses.
だがリアルすぎるゆえに 実物以上の力を持ち合わせていないという 致命的な弱点を抱えているようだな

Chrome: !!

Glo: I don’t have to worry myself needlessly. Now that the number of opponents have multiplied to 4 damnable brats, it’s faster if I just think of how
I’m going to crush all of you together.
余計なことを考えず 頭数の増えた4人のクソガキを潰すと考えた方が 手っ取り早いということだ

Mukuro: Oho. There it is again.

Mukuro: Your ability to respond beyond the bounds of common sense,
is nothing but surprising, Glo Xinia.
君の常識に縛られない 対応能力には 驚くばかりですよグロ.キシニア

Glo: From the beginning, there was no common sense or whatever about you.
You are nothing but trash that is interrupting my pleasure in the erotic and grotesque.
はなから 常識など持ち合わせていないのだ
エロとグロにおいて 快感を妨げるゴミにしかならんからな

-7-

Mukuro: Kuhahahaha. You are surprisingly well-suited to be an illusionist.
(It’s time to begin.)

Mukuro: (Concentrate your attack power, and finish him in one strike.)
SFX: Spin

Ken: OK.

Chrome: …OK.

Chikusa: Let’s go.

-8-

Glo: So simple-minded.
Rokudou Mukuro.

Mukuro: We’ll see

Mukuro: about that, won’t we?

Glo: Heh!
SFX: twitch

-9-

Glo: That’s right. You’re very proud of that hand combat skill of yours.

Glo: But, even with all four of you putting up such a good show,
my Kraken di Pioggia has ten tentacles.

Glo: There’s plenty to spare.

Mukuro: Oops!

Chikusa: It’s coming, Chrome!

Chrome: !!

-10-

Giannini: As I suspected, we don’t have enough data…

Giannini: I am unable to determine if the signal our radars detected at Kokuyou is real or not…
Tsuna: What do we do, then…
If it really is Chrome, we can’t just wait for…

Everyone: !!

Hayato: !?
Yamamoto: What is it this time?

Giannini: It’s an emergency coded message.

Reborn: The code consists of rows of commas. That means…

Giannini: In our slang, the comma represents a head that’s been cut off… In other words, it’s a code for killing.
It’s the Assassin Squad’s code!

Tsuna: (Eh…? The Assassin Squad means…)

-11-

Mukuro: Chrome.

Chrome: I’m… all right.

Glo: I’m getting excited!
I want to rip it all off!!
SFX: twitch

Chrome: !!
Everyone!!

Mukuro: (Well, well.)
(It looks like we’re reaching the limit of this particular ruse, hm?)

Chrome: Mukuro-sama!
Mukuro: (Kufufu. But, that’s exactly why.)
Chrome: !

-12-

Mukuro: (Where Glo Xinia is concerned, what are we to him, really?)

Chrome: ……

Chikusa: Let’s finish this, Chrome.
…Even though it’s so troublesome.

Chrome: …Yes.

Ken: Go kick his ass!

-13-

Glo: Hmm? Using your reserve energy to create such low level illusion doubles…
Did you think I won’t be able to tell them apart?

Glo: The real body is this one.

[* Note: What Glo calls the “real body” and what Mukuro calls the “real illusion” use the same kanji. It seems that Glo does not want to call it an illusion.]

Glo: Fool.

Glo: Wha!?

-14-

Glo: Guuuuh!
(He hid the real body’s needles within the illusion!?)

Mukuro: There’s no need to be ashamed.
Long ago, even the Vongola were caught in that trick.

Glo: Kuh!
(Rokudou Mukuro is not an illusion. He’s the real body!)

Glo: Rest in peace!!

Glo: (!!!)
(The real body turned into an illusion!?)

Glo: Unuff.

Glo: (A rock!!?)

Glo: !!!
(She hid within Mukuro’s shadow.
What she threw at me was a real thing!?)
骸の影に潜ませた　直接投げた本物だと!?

-15-

Glo: They’re all illusions!
SFX: twitch twitch

Glo: (…Or they should be!!)

Chikusa: But, the pain running through your face is…
amplifying your suspicions that we could be real illusions.
だが顔面を走る激痛が 有幻覚かもしれないという疑念を増幅させる

Glo: Damn it!!

Glo: Disappear!!

Chrome: Sorry.
They’re all illusions.

Mukuro: Kufufufu. Illusions… or real illusions.
Within the illusions hide real illusions… From the real illusions, the illusions are created.
Within the truth hides the lie… Within the lie hides the truth.

-16-

Mukuro: This is the Mist.

Glo: (When did he!!!)
(With this, I won’t be able to defend against a direct hit in time!!)
これでは タッチの差で 防御が間に合わん!!

Mukuro: Your misfortune was to be incorporated as part of my plan.
Just as I thought. By using Chrome, I could defeat you with minimal trouble.
君の不幸は 僕の計画に 組み込まれたことです
思惑通り クロームを使い 小さな労力で 君を倒すことができた

Mukuro: You are not likely to be an obstacle to the greater task waiting for me.
控えている大仕事にも支障なさそうだ

Glo: (What!! What’s he saying!!)
(Impossible… Does he mean everything was planned from the start!!?)

Glo: (Since the battle half a year ago…!!)
SFX: twitch twitch

Glo: You bastard—

-17-

Ryouhei: !

Ryouhei: Am I too late…?

Ryouhei: I hope that kid is all right…

Ryouhei: To the extreme.

[* It’s not clear if “that kid” (あいつ) refers to a boy or a girl, but it’s likely to mean Chrome.]

[The future “Sun” has joined in!?]
