Chapter 41 - Farewell, Thobari-sensei
---Page 66---
Kouichi: The memories from 10 years ago surrounding the Shinrabansho.
Kouichi: I can't shake the feeling that you're hiding something that is the core of the matter, Sensei.
SFX: miaow
Thobari: Shiratama... Hurry up and go home.
Kouichi: You may recall me saying that "the experimental bodies, I and another, were left".
Kouichi: That's her, Shiratama.
---Page 67---
SFX: chomp
SFX: ha ha ha
Kouichi: Please be a little more enduring.
Kouichi: She was a cat that was made "immortal" and had a "human heart" planted in her.
Kouichi: She's a cat, but she has the thoughts of a human.
Kouichi: Do you acknowledge her heart and see her as a "human"?
Kouichi: Or do you judge her by her outwards appearance and see her as a "cat"?
Kouichi: I'll leave you to make your own decision.
---Page 68---
Kouichi: However, would you believe that...
Kouichi: She listened to Miharu-kun and Yoite's secret conversation at your house?
Thobari: !
Thobari: So you know what that guy wants to wish from Miharu!
Kouichi: No matter what wish it was, you're not going to let him use the Hijutsu, right?
Kouichi: Wouldn't it be better not to know?
Thobari: ...
Kouichi: Please listen to my theory.
SFX: MIAOW
SFX: struggle
Kouichi: Shiratama and I lost our memories about the core of the incident from ten years ago...
Kouichi: But.
---Page 69---
Kouichi: She had been living in the Rokujo house from even before that.
Kouichi: I myself was welcomed to the Aizawa household as their adopted son when I was around four years old.
Kouichi: Those truths weren't erased.
Kouichi: Our goal is to find the owner of the Hijutsu, be released from immortality, and to make this succeed by all means possible.
Kouichi: That's all.
---Page 70---
Kouichi: Why,
Kouichi: we were so close to the Rokujo family in Banten, as though we were lead to them.
Kouichi: And why, when he was a little child and had no way of knowing anything, Miharu-kun's memories are missing like ours.
Kouichi: The theory... Miharu-kun's parents who died in a particular incident...
---Page 71---
Kouichi: Asahi Rokujo, or Akatsuki Rokujo.
Kouichi: This is about which one of them was the practitioner for the Shirabansho.
---Page 72---
Asahi: If we can't use it now, then what use is it!!?
??: Asahi, stop!!
Man: Thobari... You have to do it.
Miharu: Onii-chan, who are you?
Man: We've arrived.
??: It was a failure!!
---Page 73---
Man: Welcome to Japan.
Man: Thobari-kun.
People: You killed us.
??: Are you transferring it into Miharu!?
??: Shinrabansho---
??: (Thobari.)
??: (You can be the only one to remember.)
??: (Thobari)
---Page 74---
Thobari?: MIHARU---!!!
??: (And then,)
??: (For Miharu---)
---Page 75---
Thobari: ...
Kouichi: You knew that the Hijutsu was reviving inside of Miharu-kun, didn't you?
Kouichi: I was on good terms with you ever since entering junior high,
Kouichi: but even since then, you've been on my mind.
---Page 76---
Kouichi: Sensei sensed that the Hijutsu was reviving faster than anyone else...
Kouichi: Apart from me and Shiratama, no one had expected it to appear in the Rokujo family again.
Kouichi: And, as if you already prepared for it long before, you came in contact with Miharu-kun...
Kouichi: Let me imagine that you've been "involved with the Hijutsu once".
Kouichi: Even if you don't talk about it, I can feel strong emotions coming from you, Sensei.
Kouichi: There's probably no more time to be hesitating.
---Page 77---
Kouichi: No matter what the truth is,
Kouichi: You are the one who is going to decide what to do from now on.
Thobari: Why are you, despite the risk for your wish, leaving the decision up to me?
---Page 78---
Kouichi: Because I'm on your side, Sensei.
Shiratama: (You said too much.)
Shiratama: (What are you going to do if he tries to seal the Hijutsu!?)
SFX: miaow
Kouichi: Don't make that face... Shiratama.
---Page 79---
Kouichi: We have to make Miharu be able to use the Shinrabansho without him going berserk.
SFX: clatter
Kouichi: Well, about the process for that,
Kouichi: it'll be a little longer until it's our turn.
Kouichi: I'm home!
---Page 80---
Thobari: (Yoite's wish...)
Thobari: (It's possible that he's threatening him to comply...)
Thobari: (But... Those eyes...)
Thobari: (Should I consult Fuuma-dono?)
Thobari: (No...)
Thobari: (Whenever I used his advice, all it did was shake me up.)
Thobari: (Aizawa.)
Thobari: (...A victim.)
---Page 81---
Thobari: (The only Kinjutsusho we have is the Engetsurin.)
Thobari: (When Kairoshuu gathers all the Books together, will they rip the Hijutsu from Miharu? Or could it be that they'll let him use it?)
Thobari: (No matter what happens to him, Miharu will be in danger.)
Thobari: (I suppose I can only guess how the unseen chief of Kairoushuu will appear.)
//Thobari: (He probably wouldn't want to waste his chance, and so won't be treating this lightly.)
Thobari: (There's only one thing I can do...)
Seki: Hmmm....
Seki: Huh~?
---Page 82---
Seki: Here it comes... Old age blindness.
Seki: Aging is so sad...
Seki: I can't see---
Thobari: Shall I read for you?
Seki: Aren't you bad at reading kanji? I'm fine, thank you~
Thobari: ...
Thobari: I love you even with your bad eyesight.
Seki: Fufufu

Mom: Isn't that your friend, Kouichi...?
SFX: gloom
SFX: cough splutter
Kouichi: ...Looks like it.
Dad: What's with that sinister aura!?
Dad: cough
SFX: stare
Kouichi: I'm done eating.
Kouichi: I'm going out for a bit!
SFX: cough oeghh
SFX: clatter
---Page 86---
Raimei: Let's go to Thobari-sensei's house.
Kouichi: O...Okay.
Kouichi: That hat looks great on you.
Raimei: I've got massive bed head, I'm just hiding it.
Both: ...
Raimei: I...
Raimei: The truth is, I made a promise with Miharu.
---Page 87---
Raimei: That I'd steal the Kinjutsusho from Thobari-sensei...
Kouichi: Ah! So it was like I thought?
Raimei: Like. You. Thought?
Kouichi: I kind of reckoned it'd be like that.
Kouichi: Thobari-sensei sort of realized it as well.
SFX: Doom...
Kouichi: S....Sorry.
Raimei: Yesterday...
Raimei: I spoke to Miharu on the phone.
Raimei: He said that if I could he wanted me to obtain the book,
Raimei: but he wondered if I would be okay with it.
---Page 88---
Miharu: Hurting someone or letting someone live.
Miharu: ... it's not about that.
Miharu: But when saving Yoite, it's not just about him....
Miharu: This might become something that will affect a lot of people.
Miharu: Are you going to be on my side even despite that, Raimei?
Raimei: Miharu...
Miharu: Have you ever thought that what I was doing was wrong... Raimei?
---Page 89---
Miharu: Will you kill me in the name of the Shimizu Clan?
Raimei: ---!
Kouichi: I see...
Raimei: I'm not part of the "Shimizu Clan" anymore!
Raimei: I feel that as the individual, Raimei Shimizu, I want to become your strength, Miharu!
Miharu: I'm fine with that.
---Page 90---
Miharu: But it won't work out.
Miharu: Something like the Shimizu Clan really should be gone... That's what I think.
Miharu: That's my true feelings
Miharu: as someone possessing the Hijutsu.
Miharu: There may come a time when you have to be killed.
Miharu: ...Yeah.
Miharu: If it's you as the Shimizu Klan, I think it'll be good.
---Page 91---
Miharu: (Think hard about it.)
Miharu: (...Raimei.)
Raimei: I know where you and Thobari-sensei are coming from.
Raimei: I might
Raimei: even be able to understand what Yoite and Kairoushuu is saying if I take the time to listen.
Raimei: I'm an idiot, aren't I.
---Page 92---
Raimei: If I didn't think of nothing but "for Miharu",
Raimei: I understood that it would be more complex than I'd thought, and my mind went completely blank.
Raimei: I don't observe my surroundings, I can't keep secrets, I don't get worried about things...
//Raimei: I'm don't even have naiveity like Raikou did.
Raimei: I'm in despair over my own stupidity...
Raimei: sigh...
---Page 93---
Kouichi: What's wrong with not hiding?
Kouichi: I think that it'd be a sad world if only the cunning people could survive.
Kouichi: It's not stupid to be straight-forward, to not hide and do the best you can.
Kouichi: There's never a shortage of people involved with the world of Nabari.
Kouichi: And my senses might have dulled because I've lived so long...
Kouichi: So you stay the way you are.
---Page 94---
Kouichi: Even if you know that it's not normal, you act normally around me.
Kouichi: I like you like that, Raimei-san.
Raimei: ...A confession?
SFX: Badump!
Kouichi: Eh!
Kouichi: Yeah, no, uh...
Raimei: Thanks... Kouichi.
---Page 95---
SFXs: swish
SFX: tup
Raimei: Let's try talking to Thobari-sensei.
Raimei: About what would be the best thing to do.
Raimei: And what about everyone else...
Raimei: And ask if he thinks Miharu will smile...

SFX: ching
SFX: fwip
SFx: clang
SFX: whap

SFX: crash
SFX: cling

Yukimi: It's a waste of time to be arguing with kids.
Kouichi: Try me. And you're the real child here.
Yukimi: I don't get it!
SFX: hit
Raimei: Ha!
SFX: hit
Yukimi: Ouch!
SFX: swish
Raimei: What do you want! Kairoushuu!
---Page 99---
Raimei: Only Thobari-sensei knows where the Engetsurin is!
Raimei: I've said too much again...
Kouichi: R-Raimei-san, don't feel too bad.
Yukimi: Where has that Thobari Kumohira gone?
---Page 100---
Yukimi: That guy... He's disappeared.
Seki: Thobari...?
