I seriously need to stop procrastinating. ¬¬



Chapter 157

-01-

Yuuko: But not all of it. (T/N: Refer to 156 for this to make sense.)

Yuuko: Originally, although Kohane-chan had latent seeing powers, she didn't have purification ones.
And that's exactly why she's close to Watanuki in both heart and power.
Yuuko: However, she got purification powers through this feather's influence.

Mokona: Because the power of Sakura's feather is a power that protects important things.

-02-

Side text: Kohane wished to save her mother giving her own powers as payment. When the wish entrusted to her heart was granted, a feather came out of her body. That was...

Yuuko: Originally, the time when Kohane-chan got her powers

Yuuko: and the time when Sakura-hime's feathers were scattered don't match.

Mokona: The thing is, space-time is crumbling.

Yuuko: ... Yeah.

-06-

Yuuko: You keep
Yuuko: this memory too.

Yuuko: ... Memories are contained in this sealing tool.

-07-

Yuuko: The memories with Shaoran
of the Sakura who came to this shop,

Yuuko: and
Yuuko: Watanuki's memories.

-08-

Yuuko: Watanuki,
a while before that child first came to this shop,
Yuuko: gave his own memories in payment for granting his wish,
and thus
he doesn't remember his own past or his parents' names,

Yuuko: for the sake
Yuuko: of the two futures.

-09-

Yuuko: Protect them.
Yuuko: Until the time comes,
protect the precious memories.

Yuuko: Very soon
that time will come around.

-10-

Kohane: I...
Yuuko: I've definitely received the payment.

Yuuko: Just your purification powers.
Yuuko: Your seeing powers still remain.

Kohane: But...
Kohane: isn't that too little?

Yuuko: It's enough.
Yuuko: Besides, although you don't have a predisposition to particulary attract them like Watanuki does,
speaking in terms of relations, it's not like your connections to spirits and ayakashi can be severed.

-11-

Yuuko: Among them, there are also the dangerous ones.
Yuuko: If you ended up unable to see them at all,
you'd also become unable to avoid them.

Watanuki: Kohane-chan!

Watanuki: Are you all right!?
Hurt anywhere!?
Feeling bad!?
Kohane: No.
I'm not.
Kohane: I had my wish granted.

Kohane: That I can be happy.

-12-

Watanuki: ... Kohane-chan.

Mokona (SFX):Rice balls---♪

Watanuki: ... So that's how it was.

Yuuko: Even though you can see and avoid them, when dangerous things still chase you,
you have Doumeki-kun.

Yuuko: And Watanuki as a bonus too.
Watanuki: What's that you say about a bonus!

-13-

Watanuki: Well, I'm gonna be someone for you to rely on much, much more than the likes of Doumeki!!
Watanuki (SFX): More than an idiot like this!!

Kohane: Can I
become someone for you to rely on as well, Kimihiro-kun?

Watanuki: Of course!

-15-

Kohane: ... Thank you.

Mokona: Mokona's gonna support too!
Doumeki: More than Watanuki, without a doubt.
Watanuki: What are you saying, you---!!!

Watanuki: Hold it right there! It's your seventh one already, isn't it!!
Doumeki (SFX): Shut up.

Mokona: Mokona's gonna eat fifteen---
Doumeki: Make more.
Watanuki: Don't order me around---!

-16-

Side text: A new world is tied by the meeting with comrades and the feelings towards her mother. The future that extends ahead of her smile envelopes Kohane in "happiness"!!

Kohane: Amazing!
Kohane: My wish
is already starting to be granted.

Kohane: 'Cause right now,
Kohane: I'm happy.

Page 2: So, this means the feathers were not supposed to time-travel, but some of them slipped through anyway. My biggest question is, was that the case with all worlds that received feathers several years before the gang's visit? Celes in particular? And a somewhat unsettling question is, did any other feathers make it into some random date in the Holic world?

Pages 3 and 4: ... Creepy.

Page 5: Ugh, thinking about these girls' condition is giving me a headache.

Page 8: Wait a goddamn minute. When exactly did this happen? From the spoilers I totally thought it was something Watanuki did before starting his part-time job, but I'm no longer so sure.

Page 11: Yuuko, you're such a softie.

Page 14: Such a nice family! ♥

Page 16: Few Holic chapters ended so cutely. Really, Kohane, you should totally get a part-time job at the shop while you still can.
