xxxHOLiC 172 translation

!!! page 01
Watanuki: You said that "I don't want to know."
About other people.

And most of all about yourself.

Is that you "don't want to know"

Not because it's disgusting,
-----------------------
!!! page 02
Watanuki: But because you're afraid?
-----------------------
!!! page 03
Watanuki: More than anyone,

Since you're more afraid to know yourself than anything,

You don't want to eat food you've cooked yourself.
-----------------------
!!! page 04
Client: Why all of that!?

Just because I don't want to eat it...!

Watanuki: Because
That's what I think.

Client: What...
-----------------------
!!! page 05
Watanuki: Just as I told you before, I can't perceive the taste of what I make.
That's not just what I like,

But what I ate, and whom I passed time with as well
That I can't perceive.

...It's terribly scary.
-----------------------
!!! page 06
Watanuki: It's certainly scary to know yourself.

But to not know yourself

To me is even more
...scary.
-----------------------
!!! page 07
Watanuki: But
Because there are people

Who are here who eat it, and tell me that it's delicious,

Though I can't perceive the flavor,

I believe those people.
-----------------------
!!! page 08
Client: Why
Must

You whom I've just met

Say such things to me!
-----------------------
!!! page 09
Watanuki: We might not be able to meet anymore.

Even if we could meet today, it's not necessarily true that tomorrow we'll be able to meet again.
Now, there will never be a moment the same as this again.
-----------------------
!!! page 10
Watanuki: "There is no such thing as coincidence in this world."

"Because everything is inevitable."

It's second-hand knowledge from Yuuko-san.

It's her pet subject.

Because we were at least able to meet today,
-----------------------
!!! page 11
Watanuki: Let's cook together, and eat together.

Because I want to know
About you.

And I want you to know
About me.

Let's make rice balls.
{TN: There's a pun on "rice balls" and "connection."}
-----------------------
!!! page 12
FX: CRASH

Himawari: What?

FX: Walking

Himawari: The kitchen?

Watanuki: Please wait!

FX: Pit-a-pat
-----------------------
!!! page 13
FX: SLAM (with resonance)

Himawari: Watanuki-kun!?
-----------------------
!!! page 14
Kohane: You okay?

Watanuki: Yes...
I am.


The woman who refuses to put food in her motuh. The fate that waits for her is!?
