Akatsuki no Yona [Chapter 106]

So, while chopping a vegetable, Zeno comments that youngsters these days treat old people really rough. Then, he senses something. He quickly turns around and looks into the forest. Watching the pot, Yun asks what it is. Zeno says that it is nothing. In the forest, while Ao the squirrel is running around, Shina is picking up some firewood. After seeing Ao running, Shina tells it not to run too far away. Then, he sees a dragon statue that Ao has climbed on. While Ao is in the dragon’s mouth, the mouth closes with Ao inside. This made Shina immediately chop the dragon statue in half to free Ao. After Ao climbs to his shoulder, Shina asks if he is okay. Turning around, Shina says that they’re going back. Then, a black smoke starts to emit from the dragon statue’s mouth. And the dragon-shaped black smoke approaches Shina from behind. Later on, while carrying a basket of vegetables, Yun comments that Shina is so slow. Since Yona and Haku also haven’t come back, they cannot finish preparing dinner. Jeha offers to go and look for them when they hear someone is approaching. Jeha calls out that Shina is bac... They are surprised that Shina isn’t wearing his mask. Zeno and Jeha ask him what’s up and what is he thinking. There is no answer from Shina. Zeno tells Jeha that he always wanted to see Blue Dragon’s eyes and now, his dream has come true.

Jeha says ya..no..what can he say, like this, on contrary, he doesn’t know if it should be okay. Ah, he has golden eyes and indeed it is extremely beautiful. But lately, he noticed that when he simply wanted to see his eyes, Shina would dodge and say ‘stop’, ‘not allowed to look’, ‘not allowed to come near’, that kind of treasured scenario is really very interesting although it is really beautiful. Zeno tells Jeha that he can, more or less, stop or else, he’ll die because his heart had become numb. Yun says that he always felt that when always wearing a mask Shina shows his face, he’ll be very shocked. Kija says that he is very happy for it proves that from Shina’s heart, he is now part of them so they shouldn’t fuss too much about nothing so let’s be a bit quiet. Kija tells Shina that his eyes are truly very beautiful. Zeno comments that Kija is one who really has no way of calming down. Jeha says that after all, Kija has an illness wherein if he thinks of something, he’ll say it all out. Holding Shina’s arm, Kija tells him to come over here. Shina answers, “Don’t touch me, boy.” This surprises Kija that he says, ah..is that so. He apologizes for hurting him for he couldn’t control his hand’s strength. Looking down on him, Shina says that it is just a weak strength from a moving right hand so how it is possible that it will hurt, idiot.

Yun is surprised that he mutters Shina’s name. Stunned Kija backs away and goes back to the other dragons. Sitting on the ground together, Kija says that right now is the start of the four dragon brothers’ meeting with the topic of ‘Shina’s rebellious stage’. Zeno just smiles while Jeha says okay, this is becoming more interesting. Yun says that it is four dragon brothers’ meeting so it has nothing to do with him since he isn’t a one of the four. Kija says no, it isn’t so, because for them, he is like their moth..ah no, their younger brother, so he must participate together with them. Yun says that just now, wasn’t he about to say mother. Letting it go, Yun sits with them. Kija says that he never experienced this rebellious stage so Jeha, tell of his suggestion [/opinion]. Jeha asks why he is the one who’ll talk. Kija says that wasn’t he in a rebellion stage before. Jeha asks who had a rebellion stage. Zeno says not to worry, after a little bit of rebellion, one will become frank. Kija asks what, could it be that he wants to say that his [Kija] temperament is twisted. Zeno happily says that Kija’s frankness is ‘not knowing how things are twisted into steel products’ [<- not sure what he is implying but probably being oblivious?] When Jeha is already fully twisted that when it is already incurable, he was born of the fire [/phoenix from the ashes] and although right now, he is a cheerful older brother, all of it is because he is too pure. Jeha tells Zeno that’s enough, don’t say anymore.

Kija asks Yun if he had rebelled against the priest. Yun tells him to please not drag him [into it]. Kija says that in short, Shina is also like Jeha, because he is too pure so right now, he is bouncing back [/boomeranging]. Jeha tries to protest but Zeno says that kind of thing is like a hurricane, after the hurricane, he’ll go back to the original kind blue dragon. Standing up, Kija says so it turns out to be like that, they only have to have a tolerant heart in facing Shina. Zeno agrees. Kija goes to Shina and asks where it hurts him right now, but don’t be discouraged, let go of the biggest enemy!! Do your best and you’ll definitely can do it!! When you’re troubled, face the sun and shout as much as he wants and melt together with the earth. Even if he isn’t number one, it is also okay for him to be the most special him [Shina].. Shina punches him and tells him that he’s noisy to death, shut up. Kija goes back to them and says, how strange, he hit him. Yun says that it is alright, if he [Shina] didn’t hit him, then he’ll [Yun] hit him [Kija]. Kija says is that so. Jeha says okay, okay, at this time, just let Shina be is the best choice, and let nature take its course. Holding a rope, Jeha tells Shina if he can help him set up the tent. Shina takes his sword and slices the tent in half. Yun shouts at Shina over what he is doing.

Jeha tells Yun to calm down a bit, for it is no good to get angry while not distinguishing between right and wrong. Even if there is no more tent and they’ll be a bit cold at night, but they’ll be able to see how Kija is like being afraid of insects. They can have a laugh..but then, it is nothing. Kija is already freaking out from the mention of insects. While Kija looks stunned, Jeha and Zeno are smiling. Yun isn’t amused for they need money for the tents and he sewed the tent’s cloth overnight. While Zeno and Kija are apologizing to Yun, Jeha is waving to Shina to quickly apologize to mommy, quickly come over here. Yun shouts who they are calling mommy. Yun says that in short, since they are together and living as a group, one has to properly do one’s job. He tells Shina that he asked him to gather firewood so did he properly brought the firewood back. Shina looks at him that Yun exclaims that it is useless to glare at him. Kija shouts at Shina that even if he is in a rebellious stage, he should also properly listen to Yun. Then, Kija notices something and asks Shina where is Ao. Shina asks, Ao? Since he hasn’t seen Ao since a while ago, Kija says yes, his partner [/comrade]. Shina says who knows what that is. Everyone looks surprised and Kija looks dark. Kija asks, “—who are you..?” This surprises Yun and Zeno. Yun asks if it isn’t Shina. Kija says no but he is indeed.. Zeno confirms it too.

Kija says it is okay for Shina to lose his memories about Jeha but he would go as far as to forget Ao, that is already not Shina, this person just looks like Shina. Jeha says wait a minute, how can he say such a mean thing about him [Jeha]. Kija asks again who he is and what happened to Shina and Ao. Just when Kija is about to touch him, Shina stares with his dragon power at Kija. Jeha quickly jumps in to cover Kija’s eyes. Shina is still using his power so Zeno goes in front of the two. Yun is stunned over this and when he looks at Shina’s eyes, he suddenly weakens and kneels down on the ground. Jeha shouts for Yun not to look at Shina’s eyes and also, Zeno..! And, Zeno’s right arm is ‘attacked’. Holding his right shoulder, Zeno tells them that it is a paralyzing power. He assures them that he is fine since losing its feeling is only just for a second, that’s all. It has no effect on him. While the other two are worried tense, Zeno says that it is the first time he tasted Blue Dragon’s power and even if he earlier heard the so-called illusion of seeing a dragon and being swallowed by it, and it is this kind of feeling. While walking, he says that living for two thousand years, there are still so many things that he has to learn and he is still far from growing up. Next..since it is here, he felt some strange presence, there is something inside Shina’s BODY. This surprises Kija. Shina ‘attacks’ the left side of Zeno’s body with his dragon power. Zeno collapses. Shina chuckles and says that the feeling is quite good, how is it, the feeling of being swallowed and split up into pieces.

Zeno says that he felt like yawning, and it’s annoying to death, so how about he try to directly destroy his heart. Then, a dragon’s claw stabs Zeno through the heart. Zeno collapses. While Jeha and Kija are calling for Zeno, Shina laughs and says it’s so amazing.. Then, he becomes rigid and collapses. The two calls out to Shina then are surprised to see Zeno sitting up. Zeno happily asks if Shina has calmed down. Kija tells him not to do this kind of ‘frightening to death’ thing. Zeno says that if he is loses to this kind of thing, he would have died a long time ago. While Kija looks flustered and tense over this, Yun asks if Shina is okay. Zeno says yes, right now, he is only bitten back by the paralysis that’s all, and he thinks that the thing inside won’t be able to move for some time. Shina’s finger moves. To their surprise, Shina stands up. When it is about to be dark, carrying a boar, Haku says that they are coming back late. Carrying some fruits, Yona wonders out loud if Yun will get angry. Haku says that it is okay after all, they are going to bring so many gifts. Yona wonders out loud if Yun would be happy. Arriving at their camp site, Yona calls out to everyone that they are bac.. Only to find Yun huddling himself at the side of their destroyed tent. Yona calls out Yun and asks what happened. Teary-eyed Yun asks them what to do for everyone..everyone..had disappeared.

Comment: Ah, is that you, Black Dragon/Sword? =P Ya, that is what I’m imaging since it is surely a ‘dragon’ and that seems to be the only one we’re still looking for..well, the sword and I know that the black dragon is just a joke. It must be a malicious= black dragon since it is sealed in that statue. It must be powerful enough to negate the side effects of using Blue Dragon’s power. So, since it is sealed, what are the possibilities of it being sealed in a sword later on that Yona can use so that she can power up? So, that won’t be a magical sword, it would be a possessed sword. ^^ Well, it can also posses Yona to suddenly have amazing sword/fighting skills when she needs it. And, that will be one issue solved regarding Yona still being weak. =P If she immediately powers up, they can now deal with their goal/knowing what their goal is or whatever rather than walking aimlessly as Yona trains to become stronger. It would be nice if Yona indeed bring home a bear by herself so that it can prove that she has indeed become stronger..but from mommy Yun’s reaction, it must be still beyond her ability or he is just worrying too much. The dragons’ antics are amusing as usual. Apparently, they cannot handle a ‘rebellious teen’. =P Kija and Jeha are teasing/sniping at each other whenever they get a chance to ^^; It does seem that it is only when things get serious, when Zeno also get serious or else, he’ll join the other’s ‘fooling around’ as if he isn’t really older than them. Anyway, since the dragons disappear, Yona would have to find them again...maybe bring back something new, whether a sword or a goal, while she is at it? And, the mangaka is on a break so the series will resume on June 5th. Scans by 红莲汉化组
