[Image][Image] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECCA NO HONOU [FLAME OF RECCA] By Anzai Nobuyuki Volume 14 Chapter 8: Freedom of Existence Translated by Kamiya Shuusai [ Chapter Index | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter ] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume 14 Chapter 8 : Freedom of Existence kaoru : your power is not super strength!! joker, your real power is...... gravity change. audience : gravity... change? fuuko : ... what's that? kagero : ------I see... that trident controls gravity. one of the utter most difficult madougus----- TAISHAKU KAITEN------ kaoru (attack) : no wonder I thought something's wrong! (joker blocks) no matter how strong you are...... with that physique, you can't possibly block J - kipa's attack so easily!! joker : heheh, (block again) BINGO!! (taishaku kaiten suddenly glows and locks kaoru in a kekkai) kaoru : !? (falls down) AHHH!! [uh... my body's... heavy!!] joker : impressive, koganei-kun!! n~~~nice. I'll reward you by telling ya. madougu taishaku kaiten! (raise the trident) it's very strong. it can reduce the weight of the opponent's attack to level 0...... and it can also multiply your weight like now!! domon : how come his madougu's so convenient!? then it means he can't feel any weight at all!!? kagero : that's right. taishaku kaiten only works within a certain time and range! which means it creates a temporary gravity kekkai. although speed is an important weapon for kaoru-chan...... joker is his worst possible opponent. kaoru (gets up stiffly) : joker... (tighten grip on kougon anki) why did you stab saicho!! (joker is quiet) you!! didn't kurei tell you to "stab me"!? WHY!? audience : ......? (they don't know the details behind this... and kaoru... actually, everyone is waiting for an answer, and joker is quiet) joker (big smile) : my hand slipped. (^.^) too bad. kaoru (pissed off) : don't mess with me---! joker (jump back) : hey! kaoru : I will... defeat you!! (kurei standing on top of the uruha corner) kurei : [............. sly guy, joker... you planned this, it need some thinking to get him to go wild.] joker (flashback) : [there's actually someone who can make you mind... I'm really interested.] kurei : [and you wanted to fight him!! you felt that way after watching koganei's earlier fights. and you stabbed saicho to provoke him! you did all this to plant yourself as the object of his vengence!!] interesting guy------ heheh... remind me of our first meeting...... (flashback *YAY* finally, we see where joker's from... unless you read my fanfic ^.^ joker and jisho face to face, both in the middle of a fight) joker (jisho breathing heavily) : heheh, continue, nii-san! text : that guy appeared out of nowhere, and opposed the uruha. killed a number of soldiers, and finally met with one of the jyushinshuu, jisho. the hard battle lasted for two days--- their powers are matched. (joker and jisho both lay on the ground exhausted, kurei enters the scene) joker : hn? kurei : you're good... what's your name? jisho (shock) : k... kurei-sama!! joker : huh? who are you? give your own name first when you ask others. jisho : damn you, kurei-sama is... kurei (takes his mask off for joker) : pleasant guy. I am... kurei. text : afterwards... I baited him to enter the jyushinshuu, he agreed unexpectedly without any problems. it seemed as if that was his original intention for attacking the uruha. then jisho said... "that guy was never serious when we fought." before he entered the uruha, that guy had two conditions--- joker : kurei-san. I've always lived freely. doing whatever I like. I'm joining because it looks like fun, I might leave if it gets boring! and one more thing... (joker without his mask or cap for the first and only time... *you see his hair!!! wow!!!* but his braids still cover his eyes... nonetheless...) can I always be casual with you? it's painful to be respectful. text (ending the flashback) : like the flowing cloud--- freedom. that is joker. freedom to live... freedom to fight. his heart is unpredictable like the cloud. kurei : you're just like that--- I like it. (meanwhile, joker used another gravity change on kaoru) kaoru (floating) : !! now it's.... light!! joker : this is called anti-gravity! now you feel like being in a spaceship. (knocks kaoru down) yanagi (worried) : kaoru-chan!! (stop) ah... kaoru (getting up) : it's alright. yanagi-chan. joker : huh? kaoru : I WON'T LOSE, I'M A GENIUS!! (yanagi smiles) domon : he seems energetic enough, that kid. (smile) joker (smile) : hmph. kurei : [...... koganei......] end of volume 14 chapter 8 translator's note : you see joker's hair!!! you see joker's hair!!! *COUGH* that's just cool ^.^ I must say he looks feminine without his hat... and the way the manga is shaded... it almost could be mistaken that he wears lip stick ^.^ (cuz his lips are shaded, guys almost never have that...) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
