Nabari no Ou Chap. 40
Kouichi talks WAY TOO FREAKING MUCH OTL. But you're kool beanz Kouichi, you really are.
Note: I think I mistranslated the chap title ;___; It's more meant to be like 'The Dreams of Immortals", but it's a bit late now. So I'm keeping the old title for consistency, but that's another... intepretation. Sorry. I hadn't read the chapter completely until now.

SFX: zzcht
SFX: zzxht...
Kouichi: Who was that?
Raimei: Uh!
SFX: swish
Raimei: Um!
Raimei: Th... That was Miharu's gran!
Raimei: Oh, that Miharu! It looks like he's still out from checking out how I was doing when I was hospitalized...
Raimei: And I guess now she's trying to get a hold of him.
Kouichi: (Come to think of it, Raimei-san was seriously injured.
Kouichi: She's tough.
---Page 44---
Raimei: Somehow or other, a famous historian, "Professor Yukimi", from a certain university had invited Miharu and others who had grown up in Banten, which does have a lot of history, to have special lessons at his old local junior high school.
Kouichi: Oh~
Raimei: He say he'd protect Miharu with all his might so she was persuaded to let him be taken care of by him for a short time, apparently.
Grandma: He was a sexy teacher, and such a gentleman, with a husky voice~
Raimei: I see...
Raimei: Like so.
Kouichi: Gentleman...
Yukimi: I will protect you will all my power. [ROFL]
Raimei: Ah, Thobari-sensei.
SFX: badump
Student: Sensei, are you okay?
Raimei: Huh...? He doesn't look too good.
Thobari: Hi... How are you?
---Page 45---
Raimei: Your face! You look like a ghost!
SFX: slide
Thobari: Haha... I've always had a fair complexion.
Kouichi: It's already been three days since coming back from Alya, and you're still feeling carsick?
Thobari: No.. Well...
Thobari: We'll talk about what we're doing next... Maybe tomorrow.
SFX: cough
---Page 46---
Kouichi: It looks like we've come to the point where we can't manage being friends while feeling uneasy around each other.
Thobari: Aizawa...
Kouichi: What I'm about to say to you two might become something to worry about, but...
Kouichi: I want you to listen to my story. About me.

Thobari: Immortal...?
Kouichi: Sensei, didn't you see where I was shot with Kannuki's gun at Alya?
Kouichi: I don't think the proof has disappeared yet...
Raimei: Why are you stripping!?
Raimei: Damn shameless four-eyes!!
SFX: slock!
Kouichi: Just... Just hold on a sec and take a look.
---Page 49---
SFX: badump
Raimei: You're saying you were... really... shot...?
SFX: badump
Kouichi: I don't die... That's me.
Kouichi: Even if I want to die.
SFX: badump
Raimei: What does that mean!?
Raimei: That you don't die...
Raimei: It can't be... Daya!?
SFX: badump...
Kouichi: No... That's not it, Raimei-san.
---Page 50---
Thobari: Is it the work of
Thobari: Shinrabansho...?
Raimei: Shin... ra...
SFX: rustle...
Kouichi: Can't you believe it?
---Page 51---
Thobari: ...No.
Thobari: Even though there aren't any definitive records of it...
Thobari: It wouldn't be impossible.
Thobari: If it wasn't... something starting recently.
Kouichi: This goes back from the later part of Edo.
Thobari: Edo...
[Edo = went from 1603-1868]
Kouichi: In those days, the owner of the Hijutsu was from a lineage of Shinobi town doctors, so...
Kouichi: He waited for appointments, with genius, a quest pursuing heart, and a sense of justice.
Kouichi: Perpetual youth and longevity, the manufacture of human bodies, transplantation of sensations...
Kouichi: Facing all and every medical challenge, he used the Hijutsu and carried out a living body experiment.
---Page 52---
Kouichi: What he got out of his experiment was me.
Kouichi: Because he was at an experimental stage, the man was overwhelmed by Wisdom and met death...
Kouichi: The experimental bodies, I and another, were left, and everyone else decayed into nothing and died.
Kouichi: Left to live, the only thing we could do was be at a loss...
Kouichi: And then, believing in the revival of the Hijutsu, we began to wander.
Kouichi: For a long, long time.
---Page 53---
Kouichi: With no "End", to us, that was our one hope.
Kouichi: Whenever we caught whispers of rumours related to the Hijutsu, we wandered from place to place, going east, going west.
Kouichi: All we want is to be released from our curse of immortality.
SFX: tup
Kouichi: That's what everything we did was for.
Kouichi: So was ten years ago, naturally.
---Page 54---
Kouichi: Unfortunately, because of the Shinrabansho, the erasure of the memories of ten years ago was required,
Kouichi: and we didn't remember anything related to the owner.
Raimei: Say... What happened to the other one who survived?
Kouichi: Aah... Yeah.
Kouichi: Right now, the details are kinda...
Kouichi: There's a lot that are a bit too complicated.
SFX: beep
Kouichi: I'm right here, right now.
Kouichi: As the adopted son of the Aizawas.
SFX: clang
SFX: ...clang
Kouichi: I'm just living as the 14 year-old Kouichi Aizawa.
---Page 55---
SFX: bebebeep clang
Kouichi: Wow, I got it.
Raimei: Thanks...
Kouichi: Even if Miharu-kun has gone to Kairoushuu,
Kouichi: I will volunteer myself to him, even if I'm warned against it. I have a great admiration for that unshakeable, strong will.
SFX: tup tup
//Kouichi: Whether that is naivety or strength, I'll follow him.
SFX: miaow...
---Page 56---
Kouichi: I can see why you and the Fuuma Village have the attitude you do about the Hijutsu...
Kouichi: I think that you're going about it the best way possible too.
Kouichi: However,
Kouichi: I want Miharu-kun to use the Shinrabansho.
---Page 57---
Kouichi: For that I'll get the Kinjutsusho Sensei's in possession of, "Engetsurin",
Kouichi: and I think I'll want it to get to Miharu-kun.
SFX: badump
Kouichi: I actually do know where you're hiding it.
Kouichi: 'hup.
Kouichi: I am on your side, but...
Kouichi: I have an important wish.
Thobari: You said it earlier.
Thobari: To be "released"... is that it?
---Page 58---
Thobari: Aizawa... I...
Kouichi: I wonder why.
Kouichi: That fact that everything dies is what makes life so powerful.
Kouichi: Even so, I wonder why humans pursue "eternity".
SFX: rustle
Kouichi: I was pieced together by a human, and I came to observe.
Kouichi: I saw the process from birth to death many times.
Kouichi: I personally experienced the changes and movements of society and the rotten stench of war.
---Page 59---
Kouichi: We are in love with death.
Kouichi: We dream of having a peaceful end like the Academy Head of Alya's.
Kouichi: Mother, father.
Kouichi: I don't want to just see people like Miharu-kun, Raimei-san, and Thobari-sensei off to grow old and die.
Kouichi: I hate it...
Kouichi: It's because of this curse that I want to be released.
---Page 60---
Kouichi: If we aren't, it'd be so terribly sad and lonely.
Kouichi: Haha.
---Page 61---
Kouichi: Your will to "not let him use Shinrabansho"
Kouichi: will not falter, is that so?
Raimei: So why did to tell us?
Raimei: To sensei... to me.
Raimei: Wouldn't it have been better to ask Miharu in secret...!?
---Page 62---
Kouichi: I want him to use it, but I don't want him to at the same time.
Kouichi: Haha... I'm being contradictory, huh.
Kouichi: I want a monster like me to not be made a second time...
Kouichi: Even so...
---Page 63---
Kouichi: Ahaha!
Kouichi: And this shows just how kind you are, Thobari-sensei, Raimei-san.
Kouichi: It's because you're so kind...
Kouichi: I'll be okay even if I fall.
Thobari: That's not the problem here.
SFX: throw
Raimei: It's because you're immortal that you have to take care of yourself, idiot!
Kouichi: ...S-sorry.
---Page 64---
Kouichi: Thobari-sensei.
Kouichi: There's something inside me that can't help thinking that you know something.
Kouichi: From ten years ago,
Kouichi: about the pieces of memories of every person being lost...
Kouichi: Will you listen to my theory?
