AHHH HOLIC THIS WEEK
Happily, the language was faaairly simple this time around, so I just sat down and translated it.
[1]
Watanuki: ... Doumeki.
Doumeki: ... what.
[2-3]
Wata:
I'm inheriting this shop. [4]
Wata: I said for Yuuko-san to grant my first wish... to remove my power to to see spirits. But...
Through this power...
And through this shop, various people -- and those who are not people -- had their wishes granted. To protect this shop ...
I will wait. Forever.
[5]
Wata: Until I can meet Yuuko-san again.
[6]
Doumeki: So you'll go to school and run the shop at the same time?
Watanuki: I won't go.
[SHOCKED EXPRESSION FROM DOUMEKI]
[7]
Watanuki: ... no, that's not it. I can't go.
I already can't leave this shop.
Doumeki: ... what do you mean.
[8]
Watanuki: That ... is my price. That's why.
[9]
Watanuki: I decided to wait forever, so...
I chose the price of staying within my own "time."
I can't leave this shop.
And I won't age. (I won't take any years.)
Doumeki: ... does that mean you won't die?
[10]
Watanuki: A living thing that cannot die ... that doesn't exist.
No matter what the wish, people die.
[11]
Watanuki: So ... I will also die. Someday, definitely.
But. Until then...
[12]
Watanuki: Until I can meet Yuuko once again,
Forever ... and ever ...
I will continue to wait in this shop.
[13]
[
Watanuki STALKS past Doumeki and out to the porch.]
Doumeki: [holding the egg] This is ... his choice...?
[14]
Doumeki: So, this can only be used once ... No. It only needs to be used once.
Surely ... he can't use it.
[15-16]
[Watanuki walks out onto the porch. Picks up Yuuko's pipe; smokes, coughs. Seems to get used to it, however...]
