261 This chapter... had a lot of Chinese in it... @__@ I didn't know Yukimura was bilingual! I don't know any Chinese, but I looked up all the quotes. ^^;;; Ahh, once I have a few more chapters done, I'll start posting scanlations. Page 1 Text: Red-eyed children...?! Text: Terror as the group of red-eyed children presses forward... Page 2 Kyo: ... Yuan: Whoa... you've all got red eyes... (freaky) Sasuke: ... Hotaru: It's a bunch of little Kyos! Shinrei: N.. not possible... You... you're the revertant mutations...?! Akari: Wait... What's going on?! Akari: S... Sasuke-kun.... Akari: You... Akari: Your eyes... they're red! Jurian: S... Sasuke?! Yuan: ...Huh?! Why are his eyes that color?! Page 3 Sasuke: ...Shut up! Don't look at me!! Sasuke: Why do you and that Aka no Ou guy have scarlet eyes? Sasuke: And what's with Mibu Kyoushirou...?! Kyo: ...Sarutobi... You... Kid: Brother... Kid: It looks like you're one of us... Kid: We mutants were all born here in this laboratory as part of the the Mibu's planned return to power... Kid: It's time he stopped lying to himself... Kid: That's right, I know that smell... Sasuke: No... Jurian: Wait a minute... you're just trying to mess with his head... Jurian: Telling Sasuke all this crap... You're saying Hishigi made a bunch of mutant kids in this place?! Hotaru: Huh? But I thought Sasuke-kun grew up in the forest... Kid: You're #15379. Page 4 Kid: You're #15379. Kid: Out of all of us, only one baby went missing... Kid: So you must be that child... Kid: Your real name is "#15379!" Sasuke: Went... missing...? Sasuke: #15379...? Guy whose name I forgot: [I haven't seen a rare breed like you in a long time...] Freaky Santera: [I saw you in the Sea of Trees once... you were just a tiny thing...] Sasuke: [I... I...] Sasuke: [I was just created in this lab by Taishirou Hishigi...?!] Akari: No... Hotaru: Akari-chan...? Kyo: ... Page 5 Shinrei: Wait up... Shinrei: Okay, so some mutant kids got made here - but why are their eyes red?! Shinrei: Red eyes... that's practically sacriligous! This is taboo... So... why was Hishigi secretly researching this?! And the previous mutant trials... Shinrei: ...Impossible!! If this report is true... Kid: You're not allowed to see this! Shinrei: ...Huh? Shinrei... What?! Shinrei: [So fast!!] Page 6 Shinrei: Such amazing physical ability!! Kid: We're taking this. Kid: Too bad. Kid: Hmm? Kid: Ah!! Sasuke: !? Kid: #17391, are you alright? Kid: Uh... yeah... Kid: In the end, it's always the same... our bodies give out and we don't have red eyes anymore... Sasuke: So the red eyes can revert...!? Kid: Don't worry, #17391... our purpose here is almost complete. Then it will all be okay... Kid: So our Creator, Hishigi-sama, has decided... So just hold on... Akari: ...Hishigi?! Hotaru: ...Purpose? Kid: Onime no Kyo... Page 7 Kid: We were supposed to become "gods" like you... Kid: But... it seems... Kid: It seems... Sasuke: "G... gods?!" Hat Girl: (Most of this is too blurry) [The Mibu Clan plans to restore themselves as gods...] Kid: That we were failures... and we will be destroyed... Kid: I guess we're not going to become gods after all... Kid: We just die... Kid: #15379... You're one of us... so... Everybody: What...?! Page 8 Kid: Let's die together, brother!! Jurian: SASUKE!! Kid: All those who know the Mibu's plans, yet have served their purpose, come to this laboratory to be destroyed... Kid: #15379... you too, must be destroyed!! Sasuke: Huh... Shinrei: Stop this insanity...!! Page 9 stuff go "boom" hahahahahaha Page 10 Yuya: Yukimura-san!! Yukimura: [Ooh, it's Yuya-san~!] Yukimura: What's this~? Yukimura: What's a girl like you doing in a place like this~? Yukimura: Nah~ *heart* I ought to be used to running into you in surprising places~~~!! Yukimura: But I never thought I would find both Yuya-san and Sakuya-san here~~~! Yuya: Yukimura-san... ah... Yukimura: Fufufu, I see... Yuya: Huh? Yukimiura: Perhaps you were expecting Kyoushirou-san? You know, I hear he's become the new Aka no Ou? Yuya: !? W... what?! Yukimura: Fufufu *heart* Pretty surprising, huh? Yukimura: ...But then again, maybe not such a surprise... Page 11 Yukimura: Why, could it be that the former Aka no Ou himself is here? Aka-chan: ...And who are you? Yukimura: Maybe I'm humble for a famous military leader... Yukimura: But I wouldn't go so far as to call myself "King" until I've actually conquered the world. Chinmei: That lying cheat is Sanada Yukimura~~!! Yukimura: Ch... CHinmei! You're alive? (...and here, of all places) Chinmei: Well I'll be... I did promise myself that if I ever ran into you again, I'd PUNISH you~ Aka-chan: I guess you're here... to beg for Sakuya-san's life, aren't you? (this sentence... made no sense... uwaaah) Yuya: What...!? Sakuya: ... Aka-chan: ...Sanada... Sanada Yukimura... Aka-chan: AH! Page 12 Aka-chan: Oh, I've heard of you! You've been looking after Sakuya-san and Kyo and Kyoushirou all this time - difficult job, no? Yukimura: Uwaaah! I'm so happy~! *heart* Yukimura: I'm so touched that someone like the former Aka no Ou has heard of me~! Ah, a famous saying of Confucius springs to mind~: Yukimura: "The virtuous man will not stand alone, he shall always have comrades." Aka-chan: Oooh, the Analects of Confucius! You have a taste for the classics, I see! Yukimura: Why, of course! "The virtuous man is dignified, but not arrogant." Truly wisdom for the ages! One of my personal favorites! Akachan: Oh no, there are better ones! Yukimura: Then maybe "The virtuous man is gregarious, but not at the expense of his principles" and "The virtuous man does not debase himself." Aka-chan: Oh no, I'm going to have to go with "The virtuous man sees righteousness as the essence of his actions, demonstrating it throught his propriety, humility and truthfulness. This is the virtuous man!" Yuya: Y...Yukimura-san...!? Sakuya: What... what is he thinking!? Sakuya: [Calmly playing mind games with that terrifying man...?!] Sakuya: [Isn't that too reckless...?!] Some Voice: You should run... Page 13 Some Voice: Get ready to run now... Yuya: ...Huh?! Yukimura: Oh no, out of all the Analects of Confucius, you choose that one? Well, do you have any more? Something like... Yukimura: "I have not see one who loves virtue as he loves pleasure~" If you like that one, you're a pervert~!! Don't tell me that's why you want Sakuya-san~ *heart* Chinmei: Yukimura: Perhaps you should study more? Yukimura: You know, Confucius also said that "A man who practices virtue does not intentionally injure another, and if harmony can be obtained in retreat, he withdraws" Yukimura: That's why I haven't cut off your head yet... Page 14 Yukimura: Let's go!! Chinmei: Whoa!! Chinmei: So you want to fight with this guy, who bears the title of "Aka no Ou"... but how about a little punishment from me first~? Chinmei Think you're going to distract me like that? Page 15 Chinmei: Whee! Nice boobies!! Chinmei: But... but I thought... How the hell did Yukkie get hooters?! (He was a she?!) Kosuke: I'm Yukimura-sama's "shadow"... Anayama Kosuke is my name~ *heart* Chinmei: HUH?! Page 16 Yuya: Huh? Chinmei: What the...? Jinpachi: Give us the two girls! Kamanosuke: Yeah! Page 17 Girls: Kyaaaaaa! Girls: Oof! Saizou: This way! Faster!! Chinmei: Oh man... Yukkie-with-boobies stole my heart and then she left me! Yukimura: (laugh) And where is the real me~? Page 18-19 Chinmei: Ou!! Page 20 Yukimura: This is *so* my style! Now I'm Aka no Ou, whee!! Chinmei: What...? Yukimura: Fufufu, surprised? Yukimura: Now, how about a little fight with the big, scary guy who's been endangering these sweet girls~? Yukimura: Yukimura: Is that your kink? No matter what, I'm getting them out of here. Page 21 Text: The beautiful Yuya and Sakuya are rescued!! Chinmei: Damn it! That bastard Yukkie totally tricked me again!! Let's get him!! Text: But someone waits ominously on the sidelines!!
