**please proofread, i am also happy for critiques/suggestions.

01
Gihe....

(smaller sfx bubbles "biki")

left vert: After a run-in and ensuing battle with Clare, Cynthia, and
Uma, Dauf makes his way back to Riful's stronghold...

02
-Meanwhile, Clare draws close to the sinister hideout!

Volume 16 is now on sale!
CHAPTER 91 - "Fetal Kick"
t/n - the title is lit. foetal stirrings [of awakening]

YAGI NORIHIRO

03
-A dilapidated castle...?
-Ah, she did use a place like this before...

-I know she's here...
-I can sense 'Riful of the West's Youki deep within... (t/n - or just put riful for simplicity. lit. uses the 'title')
-Proficient as ever at hiding her presence, I see
-...I'm also sensing a weak reading from a lone soldier

-However, I cannot sense this "new asset" Riful spoke of before...
-If it's Rafaela in question, then I can understand why I would be
unable to sense her Youki, but...

-Wait...
-I can sense it
-Something far weaker than an ordinary soldier

04
-What...is this?!
-It's an otherworldly Youki, as if originating from some unknown
corner of the globe!
-This must be Rafaela's...

-Say,
-Is it just me, or did it move a little?

05
-N-no...
-I did not notice anything

-Oh, really?
-I guess it was my imagination...

-What a sick joke! It's too early!
-There's no way it can awaken so soon

-There's no doubt its consciousness has started to stir as a result of
my contact with it, but...
-...that was at the very depths of its consciousness! Certainly no
level at which it can manifest itself openly...!

06
-If it is truly awakening,
-that must mean some outside factor has jolted its subconsciousness!

-Anyway, you sure are taking your sweet time...
-Aren't you done with that leg yet?

-M-my apologies
-I've just reconnected the bone,
-and am starting on the muscles now...

-Slowpoke!
-And to think that's a basic skill you should've mastered already...

-Hm?
-What's that sound?

07
-WHERE?

-Damnit...
-Where are you!?
-Come out, wherever you are!!

08
-GOTCHA!

-Shit!
-Stop jumpin' around!!

sfx biki in all small bubbles

09
-That moron!
-I TOLD him not to Awaken inside the castle!!

-I'm going to check on him
-Just keep healing that leg of yours

-And just in case, don't even try to think about running away in your
present state
-You couldn't even get away from Dauf if you tried
sfx - gishi (crumble)

-I-I know...
-I won't...

-For crying out loud...
-That baboon is always ignoring my instructions!

-huff x3

10
-It would've been nice to recover enough strength to outrun that man
-but beggars can't be choosers
(t/n - she's trying to say she's not confident she can outrun him because she's not fully healed. i worded it this way for ease, so i hope it doesn't seem like a contradiction that she is able to outrun him later)

-Is the reason it is trying to awaken
-related in some way to what's going on above?

sfx gishi

-Either way,
-this situation is completely out of my hands

-And this...
-is my final lifeline...

11
-kuh!

-su (whoosh?)

12
-boko (collapsing sfx)

-GAH!!
-uWAHH!!

-OUCH!
-OWOWOW!!

-She's here...

-YOU LITTLE...!
-STOP MESSING AROUND!

-HUH?

13
-GNH!!

-Stop it right there.
-GAHE--!
-What do you think you're doing all by yourself?

-N-NO!!
-T-THERE WERE THREE WOMEN IN BLACK OUTFITS
-A-AND ONE OF THEM SOMEHOW GOT INSIDE!!

-Women in black?

14
-Hmph

-RI-!

-RIFUL!
-NO! DON'T GO OUTSIDE!

-Take my garments
-I don't have many left, so I don't want to waste them

-EH!?
-Return downstairs
-And keep a close eye on our captive

-I happen to have met
-these "invisible" women in black before...
(t/n - lit. no youki black-clad women)

-biki (sfx)

15
gishi x3

16 (double)
-...And I still owe them
-one BIG favor...

17
-huff x3

-I'm glad to have lured her out,
-But I wasn't expecting her fully Awakened form...!

-If I so much as cross Riful's field of vision,
-She'll tear me to pieces in seconds

-Shit...
-I'm completely pinned down

-My captive's Youki...
-...just disappeared!?

18
-She used the masking medication!!

-Now you've done it!
-Everyone's making a fool of me!!

-Dauf!
-If you find that woman, rip her limbs off!!

19
-YOU HEARD THE LADY~!

-huffx3

20
-You ain't gettin' away,
-dumbass!

-Ah...
-Huh!?

-Wh-what!?
-I can't keep up!!
-Her legs were healed all along!?

-Riful! This is bad!
-She's gettin' away!
-I can't catch her!

-Ch!!

21
-FINE! Since you played me for the fool,
-I'll keep my end of the bargain and mince you to shreds!!

-huff x3

22
-She hid the medication all along...
-Waiting for the chance to use it and get away

-But up against Riful,
-there's no way she could possibly--

-Ngh!

-What in the world?
-My head...feels like it's going to split!!

-Have to...move...
-Have to...save...
-Renée...

-huff x3

-huff x3

23
-huff x4

-gishi (bold sfx)

-What?!
-Why did I end up here!?
-huff x3 (smaller bubbles)

bold: Clare is connected to..."it"!?
