Fullmetal Alchemist 73

I've got a bout of insomnia so what better to do than translate comics.
Since it took me such an amazing amount of time to type out the script for TRC i'm only typing out lines that give me trouble.

My translations are free to use, just credit me! Thanks!

without further ado~

01
white - Looking for a way out from the darkness...!

-Ow!

-Ah...
-Found it, found it...this should be the ladder (梯子)
-Finally, we made it
-Get a light, will ya?

-UWA!!

-Aw, damn...it took us over 24 hours
-The exit's got to be blocked by now

-Then there's no choice
-Put out the light and let's just feel our way back

02
-After all, those guys were real persistent about the "shadows" attacking us if we put a light on

-If it comes down to it, I can dig a hole with my right hand to get us out

-...you think they'll open it?
-I mean, the princess said
-After 24 hours they'd really seal the exit

03
-Welcome back

-Thank goodness!!
-Get these two to the doctor, on the double!!

-I thought the exit was supposed to be sealed after 24 hours
-Well, yes, but...

-24 hours haven't passed yet, see?

04
-It's busted
-Huh? how strange

-Oh yeah, you know what?

-Major General Armstrong lent it to me

-Major General!

05
-Bakkania (sorry guys, don't know the accepted romanizations)

-You're late, so I thought you were dead
-Hahaha, sorry to disappoint you

-How was the recon squad?
-Somehow only two were left
-...that so...

-What are you doing out here?
-hmph
-Looking at the mountains

-Winter here is great
-Nothing but black and white
-I like how unusually clear-cut it is

-Are you sure?

-Take a look at the sky

06
-There's blue up there too

-People's hearts aren't black or white either

-Thanks for looking out for us back there

-huh?
-I don't know what you're talking about

-Someone's arrived

07
-We're from central
-I have business with the Major General

ch 73 - Daydream
author - arakawa hiromu

-Let's wrap this up

bottom - 17th volume comes out 8/11! (also something called 獣心演武 ...uh, brutal military exercises?? 1st volume...no idea what this is. an art book, maybe?)

08
-First, we absolutely cannot let them know Marco is here
-And we can't let them catch Scar here for the sake of translating the 研究書 (research notes...was there a special term for this in previous chapters? here on out i'm just using this).

-We've also got to get Ms. Rockbell free from Central's grasp
-Nor can we let them know that the Elrick brothers are in on this

-I was even told to take the Rentanjutsu girl back to HQ
-Me?!

-What are you trying to do!?
Please relax
-They told me to treat you well
small txt: He's scary!!

-So I guess the best option we have to take everyone and hide them at Briggs' fortress
-wait wait wait

09
-We're taking HIM!?
-We need him to translate the notes, right?

-I WON'T ALLOW IT!
-WE SHOULD HAND HIM OVER!!
-Scar isn't a bad guy!!

-It's not just at Briggs, there's something going on across the continent
-We can't ignore it

-Scar
-Cooperate with us and we'll postpone your judgement

-What do you say?
-You speak as if I had a choice

-I promise to cooperate

-Do you really mean it?

10
-I swear on my Ishivalian blood (did i spell that right)
-My red-eyed brethren (//hard to come up with something good here. this is literal)

-It's settled
-I'm sorry miss,
-You'll have to wait for justice to be served later

-...it's fine

-Uh
-Hm?

-Ku...

11
-Right, I had forgotten about those two
-I can't think of any use for them
-Finish them
-Roger

-Wha...!
-Hold on!!

-Surely you don't have to kill them!
-There's no benefit to letting them go

-Isn't there any other way?

-Showing us pity?
-We don't need it
-What does a tin can like you know? (シャバ増 = i know this isn't tin can but i dont know the meaning of this insult. Anyone?)

-It's not like we can live normal lives with bodies like this
-I'm ready to die
-Go ahead and finish me

12
-Don't you have a family or anyone important to you?
-Yeah I do
-But the moment we were turned into this we were as good as dead
-I haven't even met mine since

-Don't you want to see them?
-Sure I do but what's the point, being like this?

-So...
-Would you like to return to your original bodies?

-You would be fully satisfied if you could, right?

-OF COURSE I WANT TO CHANGE BACK!

13
-Then that's your answer

-You're just giving up by saying things like "there's no choice"

-Quit talking about death,
-Without even trying to look for a way to turn back!

-What do you understand about us?!
-My body's...!

-Actually, I DO understand
-Because my body's like this!

14
-W-what!? You have no body at all!
-It's nothing like us chimeras...
-I can't believe you have any hope left!

-I'm not giving up
-By believing that it is possible, we've finally found a way

-I don't care how many more years it takes, I won't give up

-So I won't allow good men like you to talk about giving up!

15
-Lieutenant, we've got trouble!
-If it continues on like this we won't be able to get out at all!
-Hm....

-With just the equipment we have on hand, it's impossible to march on foot through the snow
-Shit...so there's no way out of the city?

-This is a mining town, right?
-Why not just take an underground route?

-w-what!!

16
-I mean,
-A mine this big must have a tunnel that can get us through at least one of the mountains

-You're right!!
-I was am a former coal mine manager after all...!!
sfx huhuhu
small txt: really?
bubble: Get a map!

-This will work!
-We can get out beyond the mountain through this tunnel!

-This is even closer to the fortress (砦 i'm just writing the kanji so i can learn it. toride = fortress. appearing every page, for goodness' sake!)
-All right! Everyone will go on ahead with Marco while we'll try to stall Kimbly for a few days

-If you meet with the Briggs soldiers, show this to them
-It will explain everything to them so they'll be willing to shelter you (匿 - kakumau...don't mind me, more kanji notes to self)
-Thanks

-But what are we going to do about Miss Rockbell and the Elric brothers...?

17
-Hmf!
-Yeah, what should we do?
-Kimbly is highly suspicious (猜疑心）
-If we don't do this right it could be dangerous

自分で言うのも言いにくいんだけど・・・
-It's hard for me to even say this but,

-I'll act as a hostage for Scar, right in front of Kimbly
-How about it?

-You mean let him free?
-Scar will run off with me in his arm and you guys will desperately try to stop him...
-...that's the scenario

18
-YOU THINK WE'LL DO SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THAT!?!
命握られてるのよ！
-I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU GUYS!!

-Look, if I don't put my life on the line, we won't be able to get out of here!
-I don't care what you two think anymore!
-We won't allow you to be together with Scar!
-He's right! There's no need for you to risk your life!

-You said that this concerns me too!!
-Quit trying to do everything yourselves!!

-Hurry up and decide
-Kimbly's on his way

-Plus the snow storm's getting worse
-In just a little while you won't be able to take even one step outside

19
-I can see Kimbly's unit!
-Please decide now!!

-HURRY!!

-To get a job done, there's times when you've got to put your feelings aside
-Right, Fuu-jiisan!? (again, names...fuu was the guardian of that emperor greed kid right? check my spelling)

-AAAAH!!!
-DAMNIT!!!

20
-SCAR!!

-If you dare lay one finger on her...!

-I know.
-I promise to protect her

-Hey hang on!
-If you're running then take us too!
-H-hey!!

-How we can take a risk like that!?
-I'll finish you two right here!
-I know you don't trust us
-So just leave our handcuffs on if you want

21
-Kimbly shows no mercy to those who can't get the job done
-Either way, we're goners

-If there's a way to turn back to normal then I'm not giving up
-Hey, alchemist! We'll even tell you everything we know!

-If you two try to stop us, it may very well mean the end of this country
-The people you care about are involved in this too
-What!?

-Hey, hold on a sec!
-We never heard anything like that from Central!
-Tell us the details!
-If there's anything we can do, count us in!! Please take us with you!!

-You don't mind the handcuffs?
-Nah, if it puts you guys at ease

-Scar, hurry it up
-We're counting on you to put on this act
-I'm sorry it came to this

22
-Go!

-Remember the vow
-you waged on your blood

-Hey, hold up miss!
-Your earings!

-They're metallic, right? If you don't take them off you'll burn your ears! (//to anyone who doesn't get this it's frostbite, not fire)
-Huh!? Oh, okay!

-Get moving already!!
-Kimbly's almost here!

23
-Ed!!
-Huh?

-Take care of them!

-I'll be waiting back at the fortress!

-R-
-Right!!

24
-Well then,
-Kimbly's going to be pretty upset over Scar's escape and the failure to look after Miss Rockbell...time to rub it in!

25
-Kimbly...it's so good to see you again
-It's like we've swapped places from when we first met

-Don't you dare look down on ME!!

-Kimbly, you bastard!!
-Weren't you supposed to look after Winry?!

26
-Why is Winry here?!
-After we've finally captured Scar, now he's got a hostage and is getting away?!

-Kimbly!! You mean to tell me you couldn't even look after one girl?
-Wasn't it your job to keep her detained back at HQ?

-...my way
-what?

27
-I-
-IDIOT!!

-don't get in my way!!

-What the hell are you trying to do--
-Crimson Alchemist!?

28
-Ngh!!!

29
-Hold it right there, Scar!
-Sir Kimbly!! Please stay back from the building!

-Pull back!!
-Return to HQ!!

-A snow storm is coming!
-If you don't want to die, get out of here!

-That act was pretty convincing
-That was no act

30
-I was so pissed at myself for having to leave Winry's life in Scar's hands...
-All men accounted for!
-Move out!!

-Listen carefully,
-We'll walk whichever path the wind is blowing

-A direction with no breeze is likely a dead end
-Plus, it's easy for poisonous gases to accumulate there

31
-So you're the daughter of the Rockbell couple
-Yes

-It was a rumor on the battlefield
-As I'd expect of their daughter
-You're something else
-Please, you think to much of me...

-In a place like this,
-It makes me wonder exactly when I'll get to go home

-I just took off without letting neither my teacher nor my customers back in Rush Valley know...

-I'm terrible

32
-Mei-chan?
-What's wrong?

-My family is waiting for me back in my country too...but I have no idea when I'll go back

-....hm

-Oh...
-It's here, it's here!
-What is?

-The mine official's office!
-Let's see...
-Found it!

-It's a detailed map of the tunnels
-Hou....
-It looks pretty complicated, I can't understand it

33
-Like this and this and this...and we can get out!
-Hey you're pretty good!
-Hehehe! I'll accept more compliments!

-You just reminded me, is there anything else you'd like to know about the philosopher's stone?
-I...don't want to make it

-I can't use live people as sacrifices
-Even without the stone, if I were to report the method to His Majesty, he would gladly make one anyway
-With his power, he could easily gather enough people

-Marco, over here!
-Looks like we can get out of here sooner than expected!

-Let's hurry to a safe place so we can decipher those research notes!
-What you're looking for may be there
-Okay

-Hey, Dr. Marco,
-Is there anything written in them about how to turn us back to normal?
-It's possible
-After all, it's a kind of alchemy we don't fully understand
-Really?! I can't wait!
-Walk faster you guys!!

34
-Looks like we're stuck here for the time being

-Zanpano and Jerun haven't returned yet (again, check these names please)
-Did Scar get to them? Or is the storm holding them back?

-If we can't move, then neither can Scar
-He has to be somewhere in this city
-We should do what we can now to prepare for our search

-I can't believe this storm actually saved us
-Kimbly can't move. Get back to the fortress as soon as you can, Marco

-Lieutenant Miles
-There's a call from Briggs

-What's it about?
-It seems urgent...

35
-It's Miles
-Did something happen?

-WHAT?!

-Are the Elric brothers here?

-Something terrible has happened
-Huh? What?!

-Major General Armstrong has received summons from Central

36
-A large number of Central's troops have also arrived at HQ.
-There's no doubt that Kimbly has said something to the fuhrer
-Back when we were at the fortress, he was on the phone an awful lot

-Hold on
-If the major general is leaving, then...
-Probably some commander that has the Fuhrer's favor will be put in her place

-This is bad!!
-Winry and everyone are heading there!

-It's going to be very hard to hide them
-At this rate they're going to waltz right into the enemy's hands!
-W-What are we going to do!?

-We have to tell them...
-But how?

37
-We didn't have them take any kind of communicator
-Plus it's impossible to go after them in this storm

一か八か
-It's do or die!
-An amateur like you shouldn't underestimate this storm
-It can sap your strength in no time and freeze you to death

-There is...
-a way

-There's one person here whose body doesn't get tired and can't freeze to death

38
-Oh, man!! This is bad!
-I can't see even 3 meters ahead!!

-I absolutely can't lose my map or compass!
-When the winds die down a bit, I'll have to confirm where I am to move forward
-uh...

-When I can't see the map then I'll just move as far as I was able to read

-There it is!
-The first point!

-woah!!

39
-It's nothing but white...I can't see a thing!

40
-Ah...

41
...!?

-What...
-was that..

-My body??

-How..!?

-They're originally two different things!
-Of course they'd repel one another

42
-Essentially, my soul is in a body it shouldn't be
-It's rejecting me (拒絶反応 -> i find this interesting, it's actually the word for organ rejection)

-Is my real body...
-Calling my soul back?

-Get a grip!
-I have to keep going!

-And fast...!

43
-Edward Elric...

-Alphonse Elric

-...and

-Van Hoenhaim

44
-The brothers' teacher, Izumi Curtis is also possible...
(Please check this name!!)

-So only
-One more

white: What could this selection be!?

-END-

GASP...I did it...
please check the names, otherwise I'm really confident about the translation.
Enjoy and thanks for your patience.
