Ao no Exorcist 26

Yes, I know I was slow and that I still haven't done Mago 160. I will, eventually ^^; Been pretty busy and will continue to be busy with university orientation and the like even before university even starts, but I'll try my best o/



01
b1a: Rin
b1b: You've completely lost confidence in yourself
b2: ...!!
a1: The imprisoned Rin... Unable to unsheathe Kurikara...
b3a: Wai...
b3b: Wait a second
b4: It's not like something like that could prevent someone from unsheathing a sword
b5a: Nii-san...
b5b: That's enough. Please return the sword
b6: Uh...
b7: !?
b8: My, my

02
b1a: There we go ☆
b1b: Good evening, you three
b2: !?
b3: Sir Pheles!!
b4: What are you doing here, Mephisto!
b5a: What am I doing here? That's quite the remark!
b5b: In fact, I'm rather depressed that my first appearance after so long would be in a solitary cell
b6: Geez, and all I'm here to do is clean up after you guys

03
b1: Eh!?
b2a: Eins
b2b: Zwei
b3: Drei ☆　(TN: that's 1, 2, 3 in German)
a1: Das stärkste gefängnis (TN: German for "The Strongest Prison" but the Japanese says "The Prison with the Strongest Defense")
b4: Wah
b5: Geeeeeh!
b6: A little while ago, I received a message from the Vatican Headquarters

04
b1a: Due to the chanting of an imprisonment spell
b1b: And a majority vote by the court of inquiry under Gregory
b2: Okumura Rin has been sentenced to be executed
b3: !!!
b4: Wa-
b5: Ho... Hold o...

05
b1a: Th... That's rather fast
b1b: Was that really the truth!?
b2a: I don't have that much time
b2b: To lie to you under the circumstances
b3: Yukio, you okay...?
b4a: More importantly
b4b: Right now, the subjugation of the Impure King is our priority
b5a: Ahchoooo ☆
b5b: Ah, excuse me. Would you hold this sword for me?
b6: You... How did you know!?

06
b1: If you already know that much, then give us a hand!
b2a: Who? Me?
b2b: That's impossible. I'm no good with dirty things...
b2c: I've got allergies, so as it is, my nose is already...
b3: Huh!?
b4: If the Impure King is revived, it'll develop in the blink of an eye...
b5: And once it's matured... Kyoto will turn into a city of death
b6a: I've got Mamushi! We'll be back at the Branch Office in a jiffy!
b6b: Please gather as many people as you can at the entrance
b7: Can you see it from over there?
b8: Can you see it, Uwabami!?
b9: ...!!

07
b1: That's
a1: ◯JC Volumes 1-6 have sold over 4 million copies!
a2: ◯ Details of the well-received anime on page 10!!
a3: Chapter 26 Flames of the Heart
a4: Overwhelming amounts of miasma, engulfing everything...!!
b2: The Impure King...!

08
b1: You're in quite some need for an extra pair of hands, yes?
b2: It's nothing much, but let me present you with some equipment
b3: I'd be elated if it could assist you in any way at all
b4: !?
b5: Well then, I wish you the very best ☆
b6a: O-
b6b: Oi... Wait!!
b7: That bastard...
b8: For the time being, let's do what we can
b9: You...?
b10: We, too, are likely to be dispatched to help in the subjugation of the Impure King
b11: ...

09
b1: An emergency meeting has been called at the Branch Office!
b2: Everyone who can still move, please head to the Branch Office
b3: Got it!
b4: Sure is noisy out there
b5: Something musta happened, huh?
b6: Is it true that Mamushi-san was captured?
b7a: Yeah
b7b: Apparently Juuzou-san returned with her in tow
b8: Mamushi...!
b9: !?
b10a: Bon!
b10b: Where are you going?

10
b1: Juuzou-san has returned...!!
b2a: Mamushi!
b2b: Juuzou
b3a: Thank... You...
b3b: *cough* *cough*
b3c: For gathering... Everyone...
b4a: Everyone
b4b, b4c: *cough*
b5a: I am a traitor
b5b: ... However, I want you to listen to what I am about to say
b6: Earlier... Toudou Saburouta and I
b7: Used the "Right Eye" and "Left Eye" we had stolen...
b8: !

11
b1: To revive the Impure King
b2: !?
b3a: Impure King!?
b3b: What's that...
b4: Isn't the Impure King that demon that was defeated in the Edo period?
b5: Wasn't it sealed in an asphyxiated state... Under Kongou Shinzan...?
b6: Silence!
b7a: We left the head priest of the Myou Dha Sect, Suguro Tatsuma, behind...
b7b: He's fighting alone back there right now...!

12
b1: Please... Send backup
b2: Please defeat the Impure King!!
b3: ... How... How impudent!
b4: You were the one that revived it, too...
b5a: In the first place, what is this Impure King!?
b5b: How are we supposed to defeat it!?
b6a: This isn't the time to be arguing about things like that!
b6b: All exorcists
b6c: First and Second Patrol Divisions
b6d: Right up to the Shinbu First Division
b6e: Head out to subjugate the Impure King!!!!
b7a: Don't forget to deal with the miasma!!
b7b: The Impure King is of the family of the King of Decay

13
b1: *cough*
b2: !!
b3: Mamushi!!
b4a: Ryu-
b4b: Ryuuji-sama!
b5a: !?
b5b: Your right eye...!
b6: I
b7a: I'm...
b7b: Sorry...
b8: Save...
b9: Save the Most High Priest...
b10a: Bon
b10b: I'll bring her to the medical office
b11a: ...
b11b: Juuzou, what about you?

14
b1a: I'll meet up with the First Division later
b1b: Bon, you've got to go with everyone from the cram school to the ryokan
b2a: Renzou! Koneko!
b2b: Make sure you keep Bon safe!! If anything happens, to him, I'll expose you two! Rah!
b3: Ah, yes, yes, leave it to us
b4a: Leave me be...
b4b: *cough*
b4c: Hurry... To the most high priest...
b5: Fool
b6: ... She's only a girl, Toudou!
b7: Bon...
b8a: We don't have much of a choice
b8b: Ya heard what Juu-nii said. We'd better head back to the ryokan...
b9a: Oh
b9b: There you guys are!
b10: Get over here for a moment!

15
b1: Kirigakure-sensei...
b2: Rin's been sentenced to execution for letting out his flames like he did just now
b3: !!!!
b4a: It's by order of the Vatican
b4b: There's no way it can be overruled
b5: ...!!
b6: And that's the thing

16
b1: Suguro-kun, I'm entrusting this into your care!
b2: Kurikara...!
b3: And the letter your father left to Rin
b4: !!
b5: According to its contents, Rin's power is necessary to defeat the Impure King
b6: He wanted to cooperate
b7: Will you guys help Rin?

17
b1: Rin's execution is inevitable unless he does something meritorious
b2a: Take these Camouflage Ponchos
b2b: They should work well to camouflage you
b2c: So you can get into the solitary cell without getting caught by the guards
b3: Captain Kirigakure!! Hurry up!
b4: Fuuuuai
b5: That's how it's gonna roll. I'm still a dog of the order first and foremost
b6: So I've gotta go put up a front
b7: I'm counting on you!
b8: I'll leave everything to your discretion!
letter: If you can find in yourself even so tiny a heart of compassion like your father's, I want to depend on that. Thank you for reading this far.

18
b1: Le...
b2: Let's all go save Rin!
b3: ... Oh, I do really wanna help him, but...
b4: But doing so would be waging war on the Vatican
b5: ...!!
b6a: B-
b6b: But if we never get to see Rin again
b6c: All of you are sure to regret it...!
b7: ...
b8: !

19
b1: The solitary cells are this way
b2: Suguro-kun!
b3: Bon!
b4: Thank you...!
b5: !!
b6a: Koneko-san!?
b6b: You're joking!
b7: I've gotta protect Bon... Besides
b8: I know I'd regret it otherwise
b9a: What the...?
b9b: Ain't ya scared of Juu-nii!?
b10: Ehh Izumo-chan!? You, too!?
b11: The hell is wrong with all of ya!?

20
b1a: You'll di-
b1b: Ugh
b2a: You're in the way, Renzouu
b2b: Little kids oughta get back to the ryokan and catch some zees!!
b3a: Fuhahaha
b3b: I'm gonna die a magnificent, noble death, as a man of Myou Dha!!
b4: I don't get it...
b5: All this talk about Myou Dha and regret...
b6: I don't get it one bit
b7: ... AHHHH
b8: This is so annoyiiing!
sign: First Solitary Cell
b9: ... Oww!!
b11: Did you just say something?
b12: No, wasn't that you?

21
b1a: I didn't say anything
b1b: It must've been you
b2: Quit lying
b3a: Haah
b3b: I almost had a heart attack there
b4: It's all 'cause Koneko-san stepped on my foot...!!
b5: Sorry, Shima-san...
b6a: This poncho is amazing
b6b: But the fact that we can't see each other either is a bit of a problem
b7a: Shh
b7b: It should be just ahead
b8: Is that the door...!?
b9: Ooh~ Ooh~ Ooh~ *music note*
b10: !?

22
b1: Nehehehe! I'm "Das stärkste gefängnis"!!!
b2: But while I can't be opened from the inside without a key, I can be opened easily from the outside
b3: Now, here's a question for you!
b4: Eh
b5: What's up with that personality?
b6: A demon!?
b7: Why have I the title of "Strongest Defense"!?
b8: How 'bout you give it a go and fight me!? Nehehe
b9: ... Che
b10: Guess we gotta fight him, huh...!?

23
b1: Kaaaah
b2: ... Eh
b3: Nehehehehe! The correct answer is...

24
b1: That I can stop the movements of anyone who approaches me with hostile intentions!!
b2: That is the origin of my name!!! Neehyahyahya!
b3a: No way...!
b3b: ? Eh?
b4: Then why didn't anything happen to me...?
b5a: Because you aren't an enemy!
b5b: You're weak, and you're not carrying any weapons, either!
b6: Nehehe!
a1: Without Nii-chan
a2: I'm totally useless...
b7: ... But

25
b1: You said the door could be opened from the outside, right!?
a1: I definitely don't want Rin to die like this...!
b2a: Yes, but even if you open it
b2b: He can't get out!
b2c: Nehenehehe
b3: *gacha*
a2: Wait for me, Rin!
b4: Where the hell am I...!?
b5: Like hell I'd die...
b6: In a place like thiiiis...!!

26
b1a: Hah
b1b: Hah
b2: As if I'd die...
a1: Or maybe not...!?
b3a: You can obediently let the Order kill you...
b3b: Or, hey! You could even kill yourself
b4: Just die already...!
a2: I've always thought... That I didn't want those who saved me to have labored in vain
a3: But
a4: Wouldn't it be better
b5a: "If I unsheathe this sword now...
b5b: "I might actually hurt someone this time"
a5: If I just died...?

27
a1: Will I die without ever having done anything useful?
a2: In the end, I wasn't even able to make good with everyone...
a3: Why was I saved...?
b1: ... Old man, why was I...
b2: Tell me...!!
b3: Rin!
b4: !!

28
b1: Shiemi...
next to Shiemi's head on both sides: Hah
b2a: Rin
b2b: We've come to save you!
b3a: We heard everything from Kirigakure-sensei
b3b: Rin, we'll get you out of here and onto the battlefield!
b4: Let's get out of here asap!
b5: Stay way!
b6: !
b7: What's wrong...?
b8: I...

29
b1: I don't have any confidence that I'll be able to keep my flames in check
b2: Eh...?
b3a: I've always thought that I could overcome everything with just willpower alone
b3b: But that's just not gonna cut it anymore
b4: It might be better if I just died like this
b5: ... Wha

30
b1: What are you talking about...
b2: Don't say something like that... Ever again!!
b3: ... You wouldn't understand
b4: You don't have to
b5a: Stop it!!
b5b: Don't just smile and push me away like that!
b6: I... I want to be of strength to you, Rin...!
b7: Go home already!
b8: I'm a monster!!

31
b1: Kyaa...
b2: Someone
b3: Someone like me...
a1: I'm... Such a fool
a2: I've been so preoccupied with myself
a3: That Rin never even entered my field of vision
a4: How could I call myself his friend...!?
b4: !

32
a1: I'm sorry, Rin
b1a: You... You idiot
b1b: This is dangerous...
b2: It's okay

33
b1a: See!?
b1b: I don't have a single burn at all!
b2: Because Rin made it so
b3: So it's okay!
b4a: A-!!
b4b: A- A- Aren't you scared of me!?
b5: I'm not scared
b6: Is... Is that so
b7: Yeah!

34
b1: Uooooohh!!!!
b2: Uwah, Okumura-kun!?
b3a: !!
b3b: All of you came to save me!?
right of Izumo: Ah
left of Izumo: He moved
b4: I- I can't have you dying on me, Okumura-kun
b5: !

35
b1: Now that I know that you're not dangerous
b2: I'd like to make up with you
b3: Konekomaru...!!
b4: Let me just make things clear. I'm here only because Kirigakure-sensei ordered us to come!
b5a: Ah
b5b: Me?
b5c: I was pretty against it, so ya oughta praise me for bein' here at all!
b6: I... I don't really care about all that but thank you everyone!!
b7: Gyah!?

36
b1: Su... Suguro... -san...! (small: eek...)
b2: ... I wasn't very calm in dealing with that issue with my dad...
b3a: You were right
b3b: About the issues with my dad, that is!
b4: You'll need this if you're gonna fight, right? Take it!
b5: I-
b6: I'm sorry for hitting you, too...
b7a: I'll show you to Kongou Shinzan
b7b: After that, you can do whatever the hell you like
b7c: Cuz I'm gonna fight on my own terms
b8: ...!!
b9: Sugurou
b10: Believe in me

37
b1a: I can't change the fact that I'm the son of satan
b1b: But I'll show you that I can keep my flames in check!
b2: So believe in me!!
b3: I don't give a shit about that!!
b4: !?
b5a: ... What I can never forgive you for
b5b: Is how you always take these things wholly upon yourself...
b6: You were the one who first started treating us like strangers...!
b7: !
b8: Why dontcha tell me, how am I supposed to believe in someone like that?

38
b1: Am I the only one who thought we were friends!!?
b2a: N-
b2b: No!! That's not what I meant...!
b3a: Besides, what kinda reasoning is that!?
b3b: That's why you were pissed...!?

39
a1: Suguro...
b1: Haah that sure was novel
b2: Shima-san...
a2: I see, I understand now
a3: In that case, I...
b3: My, my, what a wait this has been
b4: Finally, the stage is set and the actors are on standby
b5: Now, let me
b6: Enjoy this battle to the fullest
b7: Ready?

40-41
b1: Our destination is Rakuhoku Kongou Shinzan!
b2: We're gonna defeat the Impure King!!!!
a1: With strong feelings in his heart... A clash!!
a2: I've gotta prove myself with the actions I take from here on out!!!!
