Ao no Exorcist 17

Ooh look, something that isn't Mago XD This was done as a favor for the very busy Queenofmuffins! Please go encourage her with her new job :Dv



And look, I finally learnt to use those "important" tags :')

I swear, I hate incantations. Ryuuji's in Mago was bad enough, Izumo's here was 10 times harder @___@ Freaking polished and unpolished rice and Ise Jingu formal clapping... You'll see later that I failed at making the translation work :< It sounds so weird.

b3: ...... You gonna keep this playtime mentality up till you've had enough fun?
b4a: This ain't a game! Get in
b4b: I think our reservation was for cars 3 and 4
b5: I wonder if everyone from the cram school is here yet?
b6a: Where should I sit?
b6b: It'd be better if we fill up the seats further in, right?
b7a: ...... Read the atmosphere
b7b: Go sit up front

b4: I'm so excited! This is my first time even leaving academy city!
b5: Hm!?
b6: What's this "Kyoto Tower"!?
book: A round of Kyoto's landmarks | Kyoto Tower | A landmark right on the facade of the station
b7a: There's a tower in Kyoto too, huh! (small text: The pointy part looks like its stabbing a UFO!)
b7b: I wonder if they sell paperweights and stuff of the tower there!
b8: .........
b9: ......... Rin...
sfx: thump thump
t1: What's wrong with me
t2: I can't say a word...
t3: Why?
sfx: thump thump
b10: Well, well, well

09
b1a: Shiemi-chan, right?
b1b: Have you had your "precautionary vaccinations"?
b2a: !?
b2b: Precautionary vaccinations?
text next to b2: Good morning!
b3a: Where we're going to, there's a possibility that you might be infected by a type of demon that possesses fungi
b3b: So we're having all exwires be vaccinated in car 3
b4: Ah, okay!
b5: Shiemi!
b6: !!
sfx: thump
b7: Oh!

b2: I'm so happy that you guys are looking alright!
b3: ...... ......
b4: Hey, have you heard of the Kyoto Tower?
b5: Please tell me if you've got any other recommendations on where to go in Kyoto!
b6: Bon
b7: You musn't!

12
b1a: I...
b1b: I know that!
b2: .....
b3: !?
b4: Konekomaru...?
b5: !!!!
b6: Uwa
b7: Konekomaru-san, that's too direct...
b8a: Ho
b8b: How can you act so normally!?
b8c: What are you going to do... If he suddenly goes berserk again!
b9: Well, this was decided by the higher-ups

13
b1: Just treat him like an untouchable idol statue
b2: Shima-san, you're sure acting cool about all this
t1: I'm totally being treated like some beast...
t2: ... Well, I guess that's to be expected...
t3: This is a totally natural reaction
b3: ......
b4: !

14
b1: Izumo-chan, wanna sit over there?
b2: ... Hmph
b3: !
b4: ...?
b5: ... What?
b6: Eh, no...
b7: Is everyone here~~~?
b8: The train will be setting off soon

15
sfx: Purururururrurururururuurururu
b1: Thank you for riding the shinkansen today
b2: A'ight, attention please
b3a: I've been forced against my will to be the captain of the reinforcement squad this time 'round
b3b: I'm Kirigakure Shura! Let's work together on this!

16
b1a: Yeah, so first things first. Satou-kun from the "Intelligence Division"
b1b: I'll leave explaining the current situation to you
b2a: Eh
b2b: Ah, okay
b3a: 22nd July, at approximately 1.20pm
b3b: The "Left Eye of the Impure King", which had been deemed a "part of an extremely dangerous demon" and sealed in the "Saishinbu" of the Order's base
b4: Was stolen by someone
b5: It was discovered that former director of the "Saishinbu", upper second class exorcist Toudou Saburouta, had a hand in the matter, but...
b6: We do not have any leads as to what his intentions were and who his accomplices were, and are still investigating
b7a: That's right
b7b: And at the exact same time
b7c: The inner recesses of the "Kyoto Branch Office" far out in the west
b8: Also came under attack by someone

17
b1: This time, the crime was thwarted... But what they were aiming for was
b2: The "Right Eye of the Impure King"...!
b3a: Excuse me! What is this "Right eye" and "Left eye of the Impure King"?
b3b: We never learnt this!
b4a: Right, this demon isn't considered a major one
b4b: ... Yet the stories we hear of it aren't exactly nice ones
b4c: So, about this "Impure King"... "Demon History" lecturer
b4d: Adachi-sensei, if you would
b5: Wha!? ... Haah
b6a: In the last years of Edo, around the 5th year of the Ansei era...The "Impure King" was an upper class demon
(TN: Ansei era - 1854-1860)
b6b: Considered to have caused the spread of fevers and epidemics...
b7: ... And believed to be the root cause of over 40,000 deaths

18
b1a: The "Right Eye" and "Left Eye"
b1b: Were said to have been removed and taken by a monk named "Fukaku"...
b2: When he suppressed the "Impure King", as evidence that he had done so....
b3: Although they are just eyes, they give off strong miasma
b4: They are extremely dangerous articles
b5a: What the hell was he doing... That Fukaku guy... Did he want to show off that much?
text next to b5: I got it~!!
b6: The "Impure King"......!
b7: ... In any case, the enemy's intentions remain a mystery
b8: But one thing's for sure: they're trying to do something evil with the "Left Eye" and "Right Eye"
b9: There is a possibility that the Kyoto Branch Office, which protects the "Right Eye", might get attacked again
b10: We have to prevent the same failure we had with the "Left Eye" from happening again

19
b1a: In other words, our mission this time is the nursing of the injured exorcists at the Kyoto Branch Office
b1b: And reinforcing their now-weakened security
b2: Exwires will be helping out with these
b3a: Sooo well, let's work hard together, everyone!
b3b: That way you'll make my job easier...
b4: Eh......?
b5a: Guuu
b5b: Guuu
b6: Mmmnya
b7: ......
b8: You... Aren't you afraid of me?

20
b1: ... Hah, you?
b2: I'm not scared or anything of you
b3a: You may not know this
b3b: But there are tons of people in this world who are related to demons by blood
b4: Better still, many of them are exorcists
b5: ... Re, REALLY!?
b6: It's common knowledge
b7: But... ... Then I...

21
b1: In other words, the only thing that's a problem about you is the fact that you are the son of satan
b2a: The Order itself hasn't killed you yet
b2b: Because it doesn't know if letting the son of satan become a part of The Order will be a boon or a bane, either
b3: That's all there is to it
b4a: That's all there is to it, so there really is no need
b4b: To idiotically make a mountain out of a molehill!!
b5: ....
b6: ..... Eyebrows...!
b7: EYEBROWS!?
b8: You're actually cheering me on...
b9: HUH!?
b10: I knew you were a nice girl!
b11: Wait a sec

22
b1a: How the hell did you reach that conclusion! You're wrong!
b1b: More importantly, what the hell is up with this "eyebrows" nickname!?
b2: My name is Kamiki Izumo!
b3: Thank you, Izumo
b4: ...... D...
b5: Don't address me so friendly without the honorifics!!!!
b6: I... I just...!
b7: Really hate cowards
b8: Who say things like "I'll defeat satan"
b9a: Or that we're "friends"!
b9b: When all they know is to run away at the most crucial of times...

23
b1: After spouting some pretty words!
b2a: ... You've got guts to be prattling on and on just cuz we kept quiet!!
b2b: WHO DID YOU SAY WAS A COWARD, HUH!
b3: Wah
b4a: Hmm
b4b: Then what would you call yourselves, then?
b5: YOU BITCH!
b6: !
b7: All of you
b8: ...... Seriously
b9: Get the baryon punishment

24
b1: ... Why are we taking collective responsibility again?
b2a: I told y'all to cooperate and put your strengths together, didn't I?
b2b: Cool off here until we reach Kyoto!
b3: GOT IT...? DON'T WAKE ME!!!!
b4: She's dead serious!!
b5: ......
b6a: What is this
b6b: Déjà vu...?
b7: She even had them prepared
b8: The previous time was also because of a quarrel between Bon and Izumo-chan, wasn't it...
b9: Wow, we haven't progressed at all
text next to Shima's head: hahaha
b10: ... Cheh
b11: You're noisy
b12: What...

25
b1: More importantly... Why did Sensei leave Okumura-kun like that?
b2a: If anything happens...
b2b: It'd be dangerous!!
b3: Konekomaru...
b4: Koneko-san...
b5: .....
b6: !?
b7: Ooooohhh...
b8: Uwaa

26
b1: Oh
b2a: Oh
b2b: Oh
b3: Kyaa
b4: Shiemi!!
b5: Ugh...
b6: Moriyama-san!!
b7: Something old and powerful was inside it...!
small text next to b7: it happens sometimes!
b8: If you don't hurry and pull it off, it'll get heavier and heavier and crush you!!

27
b1: Shima, get that
b2: ...... Fmmmggggguhh.... Guh guh
b3: Aaaaaahhh no good, no good, my back's gonna break!!
b4a: Sensei...
b4b: We've got to call Kirigakure-sensei...!
b5: But she said not to wake her...
b6: If I remember correctly
b7: The only way to deal with baryons is to shatter them by incinerating them at high heat
b8: Hang in there a little longer, Moriyama-san...!
b9: IT'S TOO HARD!!
b10: No good, huh...
b11: ......
b12: Leave it to me!

28
b1: ... Huh!?
b2: Move aside
b3: Oi
b4: Alright~~
b5: !?
b6a: .... Guh
b6b: .... Kuh...
t1: The hell...!? The harder I pull the heavier it gets...!!
t2: ... In that case...!!

29
b1: Uwaaa
b2a: Eek...
b2b: Moriyama-san!!
t1: Eh...
t2: It isn't hot

30
t1: It's warm... ...
b1: Stop!!
b2: Wah
b3a: Oh
b3b: Oh
b4: Kyaaa

31
b1: The seats caught fire...!!
b2a: This is bad
b2b: We've gotta call the exorcists now!!
b3: Wait!
b4: !?
b5: Let's not make a big fuss out of this...!
b6a: Rin didn't go berserk
b6b: ... These flames are......
b7: Moriyama-san...
b8: ... These flames can be put out by holy water, can't they?
b9: "Uchimochi, come forth!"
(TN: Kanji for "Uchimochi" is protect-food-god)

32
b1: My, my
b2: What have you called only me out today for?
b3a: Get out the sacred wine!
b3b: Put out those flames!
b4a: It isn't holy water
b4b: But it's worth a try
b5: You're really using the Byakko any way you please, aren't you
b6: "Take an Arashine into your hands and cleanse it"
(TN: Arashine is a grain of unhulled/unpolished rice)
b7: "Take a Nigoshine into your hands and purify it"
(TN: Nigoshine is a grain of polished rice)
b8: "To make eight servings of sacred wine"
b9: "At the peaceful, gentle sound of Yahirade"
(TN: Yahirade is the act of clapping four times, twice, and is the formal way of worshiping at the Ise Jingu)
b10: "Hear me, god"...!
t1: Ama no Oomiki!!!!
(TN: Great Sacred Wine of the Heavens)

33
b1: ......
b2: The... The seats have turned into cinders...
b3: ......
b4a: ... More importantly, the baryons have disappeared!
b4b: Where are they
b5a: Why did you get in my way!
b5b: I had everything under control!!
b6: Bon!!
b7: ... What do you mean, everything under control...!
b8: Have some faith in me!
b9: ... Faith...?

34
b1: How could I......!
b2: Bon!
b3a: Sixteen years ago
b3b: Followers of my temple died in those flames
t1: The "Blue Night"---!
b4: !!
b5: Those blue flames can kill people!
b6: My grandfather...
b7a: Shima's grandfather
b7b: And oldest brother
b8: Konekomaru's father

35
b1: ...!!
t1: What...
b2: The followers of the temple were like family to me......
b3a: After having such terrible things done to my family...
b3b: How the hell am I supposed to have faith in you!!
b4: ...... ......
b5: That.. Must have been horrible...
b6: ... But so the hell what...!
b7: That has nothing to do with me!!!!

36
b1: ......
b2: Bon!
b3: ...... That's right...
b4: You said you'd defeat satan, didn't you...!?

37
b1a: ... That's right
b1b: ... So don't be lumping us together
b2: Waaaaa!!!
b3: Stop it!
b4: !?
b5: Get away from Bon!!
b6: You too, Bon...! If you still consider us family...

38
b1: Then stop acting on your own! Please...!
b2: Konekomaru......!
b3: If anything were to happen to Bon
b4: ...
b5: We wouldn't be able to show our faces at the temple ever again...!
b6: Bon! Above you!!

39
b1: !!!!
b2: ..... Jeez

40
b1: You guys can't even take on small fry like this!?
b2: When the real deal comes along, you guys plan to hamper each other like that, too?
b3: You'll die!
b4a: We will soon arrive in Kyoto
b4b: Passengers alighting here, please ensure that you do not leave any belongings behind in the train. After Kyoto is...
