xxxHOLiC 148

First time I've ever translated Seinen, or xxxHolic, as I only started reading it 4 days ago, but since no-one else did, thought I might as well waste some time.

Not the most experienced translator, so I'm not 100% confident about this, but if anyone wants to pick me up on anything or use it for scanlations, feel free to do so.

I'm not going to make anyone cry, again.

Kohane living in the darkness of solitude, lifts up Watanuki's determination.

Can those feelings, that strong heart, return light to Kohane's eyes?

Mother: What's with this cramped waiting room!

Mother: The other ones were much bigger!

Mother: And worse, no-one has come to greet up!

Mother: Let alone the directory or the assistant director!

Mother: What are you drinking!

Mother: Didn't I tell you you shouldn't put impure things near your mouth!

Mother: More so, what are we going to do if you start losing your power!

Kohane: It's water.

Mother: You're not lying right!

Page 4:

Kohane: Mother.

Mother: W-What now

Kohane: Before, when Dad left
You told me didn't you.

Kohane: 'Don't tell lies'

Mother: It's work! A business trip, always lies!
All this time you've been at that woman's place!

Father: Aren't you also not at home leaving the house in a daze putting Kohane on TV!

Mother: That's for her sake!

Father: Don't you mean YOUR SAKE!

Bottom right, probably mother:
Wanting to take over, your goal's just the performance fee!

Mother: The house, the savings, you,
I'll give him nothing!

Mother: Look here!

Mother: Cause you'll definitely regret it!

Kohane: Since Dad's gone...

Kohane: We won't meet right?

Page 7:

Mother: If Kohane goes on TV more, and becomes famous it'll be fine!

Mother: We'll become more famous, become richer!

Mother: They'll see it

Mother: And if they regret it more than death it'll be fine!

Kohane: Can I become like that?
In that way...

Mother: You can!

Page 8:

Mother: It'll be fine, if you always thought like that you'll definitely become like that!

Kohane: But...
Mother, before...

Mother: What!?

Mother: From here on we'll work harder on promotions!

Mother: So that we can get on more Programs and events!

Mother: And get paid more!

Mother: So promise me this!

Mother: Kohane, be the only one who doesn't lie to me!!

Kohane: ....Ok

Kohane: You thought I was lying?

Kohane: Hey...Mother...

TV Station Worker: Excuse me~
It's Kohane-san's turn~

Mother: W-

Mother: Hurry up and come!
