SDK Chapter 291 - Yin and Yang - The Ninth Sword ~ A Little More Faith 1 Sakuya: Kyo...!! (The way she says it makes it ambiguous as to which one she's talking about.) Sakuya: I have to stop them!! Sakuya: [That light...] Sakuya: [That light was...] Yukimura: Sakuya-san!! Sakuya: Y... Yukimura-san!! Sasuke-san!! 2 Sakuya?: [The golden wind...] 3 Kyoushirou: What...!? Tora: K... Kyoushirou's "Seiryuu: was wiped out in a flash...!! SFX: (That big letter says "GO" which is the sound for fire and explosions. Damn, that's a big letter.) Akari: Is he going to attack "Genbu" too...!? Kyoushirou: Gah... Kyoushirou: [No...] Kyoushirou: [I won't lose...] 4-5 Yuya: Kyaaa!! Aka-chan: The Golden Wind... Aka-chan: [Kyo... so you were able to call the wind itself...] 6-7 Tora: Ugh... Akira: What insane destructive power... what kind of attack was that!? Akari: And look! The rain clouds are gone now...!! Bon: [The power of faith, huh... That surpasses anything the Mibu can do... Bon: [...This makes Kyo nearly invincible...!!] Bon: [I mean, that Golden Wind thing...] Bon: [That totally wiped out Mibu Kyoushirou's Seiryuu and Genbu attacks...] Text: [The mysterious wind completely reversed the situation! Is the end near...!?] 8 Tora: K... Kyoushirou-han... 9 Kyo: ...What's wrong? Getting tired? Akari: K... Kyo!! Akari?: His strength is back...!! Kyoushirou: I... will not... Kyoushirou: I... will not fall yet...!! Kyoushirou: I have the power of the True Mibu... 10 Tora: Kyoushirou-han!! Tora: [Kyoushirou-han is in overload too!?] (Or maybe that should be overdrive, lol? I think we call it overdrive in English, haha.) Tora: They've both taken heavy damage...!! But I haven't felt intensity like this before...!! Tora: It feels like they're on the same level... just that wind attack separates them... Whoa... they're like, at the limits of their limits...! Tora: If they push themselved any farther... they're gonna die!! Aka-chan: ...Kyoushirou. 11 Aka-chan: ...You know very well that you must not lose... Aka-chan: For what other purpose would I create you, my most glorious masterpiece, from my own flesh and blood...? To lose is to die... Yuya: Huh...? Aka-chan: You are the "Child of God." Aka-chan: I made you, the "Child of God", to take the place of the "Demon Child", the last of the True Mibu, who was to inheirit the throne. Aka-chan: Those who turn against I, their god, are simply labelled as "heretics" or "evil" or the "Demon Child", and represent that which is evil... Aka-chan: And the one suited to follow the kind, gentle, pleasant and docile Aka no Ou is the "good" child, the "Child of God." That would be you... Aka-chan: But perhaps defeating Kyo, claiming that perfect body as your own and acsending the throne as Aka no Ou is not how you want to live your live... Aka-chan: Perhaps... you find that to be a life without honor? Yuya: But... Aka-chan: Of course, you do know that I always knew you would return to me? 12 Yuya: [But how...!?] Yuya: Kyoushirou... Yuya: [Is that true? Oh Kyoushirou...] Tora: K... Kyoushirou-han...!! Yuya: Kyoushirou, no!! Aka-chan: Well now, let's leave this to Kyoushirou. After all, you're my new fortune-telling miko-san! Aka-chan: After all, with those clouds gone you ought to be able to read the stars clearly - and I know a place where you can see the sky very closely. Yuya: No! Let me go!! Shihoudou: M... My lord! Please, stop...!! Shihoudou: Gah!! Yuya: Sh... Shihoudou-san!! 13 Aka-chan: ...It's alright... Kyoushirou has always been a good boy... he won't betray me in the end. Yuya: Huh!? Aka-chan: Body and soul, Kyoushirou and Kyo... even so, they both lack something, so even the True Mibu cannot equal me... (Interesting bit of wordplay that doesn't translate well: He writes "body" and "soul" with the first character from Kyoushirou and Kyo's names, but the character he uses for "body" is more like a dead body or a shell.] Aka-chan: How sad... in one world, there is no need for two kings, don't you think? Yuya: Y... you... Yuya: No... you wouldn't sacrifice them for something like that... Aka-chan: Come now... there's a future waiting to be seen~ Yuya: N... NO!! Yuya: KYO... Yuya: KYOUSHIROU...!! Yuya: DON'T FIGHT ANYMORE!! 14 Yukimura: What was that light and wind...? Yukimura: What kind of wind could... no, that couldn't have been only wind...right? Sakuya: ...Kyo has attacked his own body with the Golden Wind..... Sakuya: Kyo... he's planning to sacrifice himself...!! [Sakuya first uses 'Kyou' written in katakana so you don't know which one it is, then she uses the character from Kyoushirou's name to refer to Kyo] Sakuya: I have to stop them now...!! Sasuke: ...What!? Sakuya: ...Only a member of the True Mibu Clan can defeat the Former Aka no Ou and free the heart of the miko held under his power. Sakuya: But the "Red Cross Knights" are absolutely obidient to the Former Aka no Ou... it would impossible for one of them to kill or even disobey him. Chinmei: But other than her... there is no one who could defeat the Former Aka no Ou. 15 Sakuya: [With the Former Aka no Ou using my power, who knows what he could do!? Sacrifice me, and you could prevent the misfortune of countless people!! Please, it's alright...!!] Sasuke: ...But wasn't Onime no Kyo just going to kill you....? Sasuke: I'd think that Onime no Kyo of the True Mibu would just kill you if you were connected to the Former Aka no Ou somehow... Sasuke: Yeah, but why is Mibu Kyoushirou on that guy's side, fighting against Kyo.... Sakuya: ...Kyoushirou always believed in Kyo... so he can't forgive him. Sakuya: And because I still believe... I know Kyo will grow strong enough to defeat the Former Aka no Ou.... Sasuke: Wha... what are you talking about, lady? Yukimura: That wind... Sasuke: Huh!? Yukimura: That was Kyo-san becoming stronger to face his opponent...!? That wind was created because he put all his strength into it... Yukimura: That was Kyo's power... the power to defeat the former Aka no Ou... and he's wasting it... Yukimura: [Kyoushirou-san...!!] 16 Tora: Kyoushirou-han!! COme on, you've got to quit...!! Tora: It's useless to fight like this!! Yuya: K...Kyo...!! Yuya: Kyoushirou!! Please, stop!! Yuya: If you just stop, can't we all be together again!? Yuya: Can't you two be toether again...? Yuya: Kyoushirou...!! Kyo... Kyo and his friends have helped me so many times!! Kyoushirou: [I know, Yuya-san...] Kyoushirou: [Kyo hides his true heart...] Kyoushirou: [But... I can see it in his eyes, in his hands, in his heart...] 17 Kyoushirou: [I can feel it all in this battle...] Kyo: I think it's time... (I really can't see the kanji in this at all, haha) Kyoushirou: [Should I help him?] Kyoushirou: [That voice!!] Kyoushirou: [We'll protect Yuya-san...] Kyoushirou: All this time, Kyo has been growing stronger for Yuya-san's sake... for everyone's sake... Kyoushirou: [And that leaves me...] Kyoushirou: [Kyo... I will be your strength.] Yukimura: Kyoushirou-san, no!! Kyoushirou: AHHHHHH!! Kyoushirou: [I believe, Kyo... If it's you, you can overcome anything...] Kyoushirou: [Even if you have the cursed blood of a demon of the True Mibu Clan...] 18-19 Kyoushirou: [So...] Kyoushirou: [Kyo...] Kyoushirou: [I leave it to you...] Akari: K... Akira: KYO!! Yuya: ...Huh!? 20 Akari: Kyoushirou!! You bastard!! Akira: I won't forgive this! I won't forgive you!! Bon: ...Whoa!! Wait!! Akira: Don't get in our way! I'll kill that bastard... Yuya: Y... you... it can't be... Akira: That's ... KYO!? He's back in his own body...!? Text: [Onime no Kyo... suddenly back in his own body!! And at his side, the fallen Mibu Kyoushirou is close to death!? Next Chapter: The Storyteller!!
