TRC 232 translation

[starlady]

Wow, it's finally the end.

I have some people to thank--namely, chibiyuuto, ladydarkmoon, and nokiirat, for getting me onto LJ and into Clamp fandom--and everyone who's read my translations and commented. I always feel awkward about being thanked, but really, thank you.

Everyone's support
Gave us courage!

Always be together!

Chapitre 232: The World of Beginnings
---------------------
!!! page 04
FX: Crunch

FWR: Pay
The price

FX: Snaking movement

Shaoran: Fei Wong...!

Watanuki: Is he saying that if we don't hand over the price we won't get out of here?
---------------------
!!! page 05
Shaoran: If it's something I can hand over...!

Watanuki: The price can't give too much or snatch away too much.

If you hand over more than necessary,
You'll be injured.

Your body in the real world,
Your luck in the astral plane,

Your soul in the heavens.
---------------------
!!! page 06
Watanuki: If Yuuko-san were here, she might be able to tell us an appropriate price.

But...
She's not here now.

You can't yourself understand about yourself.
But since we're the same but not the same,

We might be able to understand.
Will the mutual prices correspond even though we leave here?

Shaoran: Fei Wong's last curse.

Watanuki: Without something precious, it won't be a payment.
---------------------
!!! page 07
Shaoran: But if you really throw away something precious,
It's meaningless.

Both: The payment.
---------------------
!!! page 08
Shaoran: Even if I leave here, I understand that it won't be nothing.
There are people who will be hurt and saddened by what I've decided.
Even so, I choose this price.

Watanuki: I don't think this is the correct price either.
Nevertheless, since I've chosen to wait,
I choose this price.

For giving birth

To me.

Sakura: I knew that it would turn out like this...

But...
Since you would absolutely come home, Shaoran...
---------------------

Sakura: You and I, Shaoran.

If we have our memories,
It's not the end...

Sakura: So...

Wishing for their good fortune,
The vibrant morning colors

Now mark the end
Of the dream's journey.

The End.

Thanks for the fast translation!
Well, there is still an epilogue chapter left for you to translate after this, if you feel like translating that is, so it's not totally 'the end' yet I guess aha~ The chapter's title is a bit worrisome somehow...? I just hope we won't get the exact same repeat of chapter 1 again, that would be 'version 3' already ^^;;

Well, the last chapter was a disappointment, not that I'm surprised by this fact or anything, but it felt weird: I expected it, since at this point of the manga pretty much nothing could satisfy us with all the plots holes and unanswered questions left hanging, but still, did actually some part of me still hope....?
The only 'surprise' was for Syaoran to get a feather inside of him too.
But really, that 'Syaoran' we are left with has really be angsty from start to end, always wearing a tired and painful face almost all the time, of course, it's due to the hard circumstances of his life but still, after watching him making a sad face for the past 2-3 years, I really got tired of it *sigh*
As for that 'Sakura', she doesn't interest me at all: there is no way I can get attached to a character I know nothing about beside some flashback scenes, unlike the other Sakura, I did not see her 'in action', I did not see the evolution of her character during the years nor anything: the fact she is named "Sakura" and has the face of "Sakura" doesn't attract me to this person at all. So yeah, whatever happens to her I don't care.
And seriously, WTH with her saying 'I knew this would be happening' *rolls eyes* So anti-climatic, I mean come on!!! Almost one of your first words awakened is 'Duh!I knew it!' *gah!*
I at least hope Syaoran's price will be revealed somehow in the epilogue (we already know that Watanuki's price is not aging and waiting forever for Yuuko inside the shop).

Having read most of the series, I have to say that there is such a disconnect from the beginning of the series for me. And I still am not 100% sure which Sakura and Syaoran we ended up with ^^;;;

Thank you for translating.

[kei-san77.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for the translation ^^
It's quite a weird feeling, to think that there'll be an epilogue and... that's it...

[shushu-yaoi.livejournal.com]

[chibi-mitsuki.livejournal.com]

Thank you for providing translations for TRC~ I really appreciate what you have done for us~

[sailoryue.livejournal.com]

im disapointed too... the epiloge better be like 40-50 pages to seal all the plot holes... :D

i mean, i m not into x/TB but id like to see the vamp twins paired up with theire respective hunters... theres so much left unsaid/done etc >.> so confusing.

oh, and i want my kurofai to be cannoned god-dammit!!! they damn well BETTER canonize it and not a single panal dohiky.

[sailoryue.livejournal.com]

ooh, i just relized something.

i n the last holic chappie, Wata said that "i wont get hurt like the first time" meaning his payment here hurt him or something went wrong.

lol, the last and final crossover!
