Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, chapitre 191
Sorry for the delay. I was too tired yesterday to translate.
Chapitre 191
The seven days promise
-01- (splash: Shaoran)
To become a nameless warrior
the young boy---
did not stop on his tracks.
-02-
Fujitaka: The person who will turn Sakura-hime's destiny around.
Fujitaka: The princess will also change that boy's destiny.
Fujitaka: And,
the altered future...
Nadeshiko: Let us believe
in those children.
Fujitaka: ... That's right.
-03-
Sakura: Well, sit down.
Sakura: I knew it!
Shaoran: What are you saying that for?
-04-
Sakura: Right now, I'm in midst of cleansing, so I can't eat anything other than fruits and medicinal herbs,
but look at this!
Sakura: There's also meat, pria
and kokott! (T/N: More fun with Clow-koku food names.)
Sakura: I think mother saw it in a dream and set these aside for you.
Shaoran: ... Amazing!
-05-
Shaoran: My mother can also see the future in dreams.
Though she said that before I was born the ability was nearly fading.
Sakura: Oh, I see!
Sakura: ?
Shaoran: My mother's name
... is also Sakura.
Sakura: Eh...?
-06-
Shaoran: Besides... you look like
my mother when she was small.
Sakura: Me?
Shaoran: Yeah.
Sakura: It's not...
a coincidence, is it?
Sakura: I wonder if this is hitsuzen too...
Shaoran: ......
-07-
Sakura: But,
my name...
Shaoran: Eh?
Sakura: Can I call you Shaoran?
Shaoran: ......
-08-
Shaoran: ... Okay.
Sakura: ... Shaoran!
-09-
Touya: What's this about a guest coming to the cleansing grounds...!
Sakura: Brother! Yukito-san!
-10-
Touya: ... So it was this brat?
Sakura: Brother!
Yukito: Touya!
-11-
Yukito: Good evening!
Shaoran: Good evening!
Yukito: It doesn't feel like a first meeting
Yukito: since it's just like I saw in dreams.
Shaoran: So you're a dreamseer too?
Yukito: But I can only see a little bit.
Yukito: Like our chatting here.
Sakura: In Clow country, Yukito-san is
second only to mother in power.
Yukito: It's not like that!
Touya: Don't all the priests say the same thing?
Yukito: In terms of latent powers, Sakura-hime's are way stronger.
-12-
Sakura: But I can't see dreams of the future
and I can't do anything.
Sakura: I just know the feelings of living things a bit.
Shaoran: The feelings of living things?
Sakura: Like trees,
flowers,
birds, too.
Sakura: But,
what I know best are the water's feelings.
Shaoran: ... That's no little thing.
-13-
Sakura: Eh?
Shaoran: You know the feelings of those who can't speak.
Shaoran: It's no little thing.
I think it's amazing.
-14-
Sakura: T- thank you!
Touya: Hurry up and eat,
brat.
Shaoran: ......
Sakura: I'm sorry.
Sakura: My brother...
Shaoran: Don't be.
Sakura: He's always mean,
Sakura: but today he was several times worse.
-15-
Sakura: Hey,
Shaoran!
Shaoran: What?
Sakura: Till when can you stay here in Clow country?
Yuuko: With this dimensional transport you're getting now, you can stay in Clow country
for about seven days.
Yuuko: When that's over, you'll have to return to the world where you were.
-16-
Yuuko: What you'll do after that
is for you... to choose.
Shaoran: Seven days.
Sakura: And after that,
you'll go home?
Shaoran: I
Shaoran: don't know yet.
-17-
Sakura: Your father and mother are waiting for you, right?
Sakura: Oh, that's right!
Did you decide where you're going to stay for these seven days?
Shaoran: Nope.
Sakura: Then, how about staying here!?
Shaoran: But...
Sakura: I'm sure father and mother will be all right with it!
Sakura: And if brother acts mean, I'll team up with you!
Sakura (SFX): I ain't gonna lose to him!
-18-
Shaoran: You're so brave!
Sakura: So,
stay in the castle?
-19-
Shaoran: ... Okay.
Sakura: Thank you!
Shaoran: I'm the one who's thanking you.
Sakura: I'm so happy!
When I'm not in the cleansing ceremony, I can go back to the castle!
I can't show you around town, but if you're inside the castle, we can stay together!
-20-
Shaoran: I see.
-21-
Sakura: I can't touch you
Sakura: but like this it's all right.
-22-
Shaoran: Thank you.
-23-
Teaser: What in the world is going on
at the princess' sacred place?
Page 1: This has got to be one of the most heavily literary-styled splash quotes I've ever translated in Tsubasa. Makes me wonder if the person who writes them means for Fei Wang to be the chronicler. ... Why did I have to go and say "chronicler"? Now I'm gonna raise epileptic trees about how Fei Wang is the real hero.
Page 5: Okay, why the hell was Sakura losing dreamsight? Or did I read too much into the wording?
Page 7: No points for your subtlety in changing topics, Sakura! (笑)
Page 10: Touya is a jealous brother, what else is new? It's still hilarious, though. So, he and Yukito are in this version of Clow-koku too. Which only reaffirms my feeling that it's weird that Sakura's family is a tried-and-approved one when other people lost their family bonds from one world to another.
Page 12: Affinity to water? Why can't I see this ending well? And damn, the random baseless Ima, Soko Ni Iru Boku associations need to go away already.
Page 18: Cutest. Shaoran. Smile. Ever!
Page 21: I really hope this "can't touch" situation doesn't get extended past the cleansing period. There's no reason why it should, but this is CLAMP, and we're all wary of potential angst spots, right?
