Episode 49
The theory of the best place.
Page 91:
Ryu: Blue sky!! In the sun. [in english originally] And the burning asphalt! And I'm burned!
Ryu: Ah hah! The bike! What a beautiful bike!
Ryu: Yes, death! Dying!
Manta: What kind of song is that!? Ryu, what'd you do to get such a nice motorcycle?
Ryu: The motorcycle is man's romance. I put myself in dept for 69 years to celebrate my departure to the states.
Manta: 69 years!?
Ryu: I got a side car to put in all my stuff. We're nice in there, don't you think?
Page 92:
Manta: Yes but...
Manta: ... I'm truly sorry that you are giving up your trip for me.
Ryu: Geh! Manta! Are you still brooding on that! Change the topic! I don't you not to worry about it!
Manta: But...!
Ryu: In fact, I'm actually quite excited in taking this trip to Boss Yoh's place. With a bit of luck, I could maybe get a shaman apprenticeship.
Manta: An apprenticeship?
Ryu: Yep, I heard that they are reknown family of shamans. I'm full of hope.
Manta: And the hope for becoming a cook ...?
Manta: An apprenticeship to become a shaman ... !
Episode 49
The theory of the best place.
Page 94:
Manta: So ...
Ryu: Finally you get it! Everyone has their thing.
Ryu: Shaman or cook, doesn't matter. The essential thing is that I love what I do. And more, if it really works out, the chicks will be all over me.
Page 95:
Ryu: Girls like shamans. And more, we're no longer scared in haunted houses.
Manta: Ryu, if that is what's motivating you then, you're an idiot!
Ryu: You don't understand anything about life. Pleasing women is the most important thing to do.
Ryu: All me live to please women! That's what it means to be a man.
Manta: He's lucky to think so simply.
Ryu: Hmm... what? And you, what do you want to be a shaman for?
Manta: Who said I wanted to become a shaman? I just want to go to Izumo to find out more on Yoh.
Manta: But also on his family and the Shaman King. To pierce the secret of Yoh's family!
Page 96:
Manta: But after that all, even after knowing everything, I might not rebecome Yoh's friend.
Ryu: Stop thinking so negatively. I don't think that the Boss Yoh really meant what he said.
Manta: If he was serious...
Manta: I have to be at fault. I fled to him.
Ryu: You fled to him?
Man X: He's taking a while.
Man Y: He's been at it for quite a while now ....
[Song: I love you ~~~ ! , Me neither ~~~ !]
Page 97:
Ryu: I think you're thinking too deeply.
Ryu: I was schocked when I heard that you were the inheritor of the first electrical enterprise of Japan. Is that situation so uncomfortable?
Manta: If I don't talk about my family, it's that I don't like them.
Manta: Compared to Yoh and you, I don't know what I want to do with my life.
Ryu: What you want to do?
Manta: Yes, Yoh wanted a peaceful life and I fled towards him and he didn't like that.
Ryu: You're really an idiot.
Manta: What!?
Page 98:
Ryu: If you were next to Yoh, it's that you had something to do.
Manta: What?
Ryu: Me, I hated school, but I loved restaurants.
Ryu: That's why I want to become a cook. The ambiance at a restaurant is my best place.
Manta: Best place ...
Ryu: Look Manta.
Page 99:
Ryu: These service stations on the road. I feel good in them. For me, they are also a best place.
Ryu: This is a place where those who pass and travel in Japan. A place where people live like in a little community.
Ryu: I don't know what pleases me so much in this place. Maybe because I'm a traveler?
Ryu: I never stop looking at the aisle with all the regional souvenirs.
Ryu: Even now, they sell things nostalgic of the 80s!
Page 100:
Ryu: And look at this empty space. This odor in the night. It's hard to believe we're in Japan. I think that's great. I love it.
Ryu: For me, it's a best place. It makes me want to work here. Do you think I'm finding refuge?
Manta: ...
Manta: I don't think so. Where we feel the best is our best place.
Manta: The place where we can find what we want to do.
Page 101:
Ryu: We shouldn't have to justify what we like. If you find where you want to be, I'll be satisfied.
Manta: ...
Manta: Which means that if I want to be near Yoh... these shaman stories would be for me...
Ryu: I don't know!
Manta: Waahh!
Ryu: You can't know the answer right now.
Manta: ... ?
Ryu: Come on, we're leaving!
Page 102:
Ryu: It's to find out that we're on this trip.
Manta: Ryu!!
Ryu: So, Izumo. How do we get there?
Manta: Geh!
[Shimane: Shimane prefecture, Izumo. About 850 km from Tokyo, almost 12 hours on the road, about 140 dollars of toll booths.]
[Map of Japan: Somewhere over here.]

[Asakura Shugendo]
Huu... huu ...
Voice: Yoh has finally returned to the country and we're sending him into Yomi's cave. It's too cruel. Tell me? Is Yoh still in good health?
Page 104:
Girl: Master Kokkuri...
Girl: He's fine.
Page 105:
Girl: What?
Girl: What?
Girl: It's terrible! I must contact Master Yohmei!
Yohmei (grandfather): I see. A the far end of the west, a smaller kid and a big guy are coming to bring bad luck to Yoh. Thank you for warning me, my dear disciple and son, Mikihisa.
Page 106:
Tamao: I'm doing an apprenticeship for asceticism. It's me, Tamao.
Yohmei: Yeah, so? Do you want me to prevent them from reaching Yoh?
Yohmei (reading): "I am at the service of your family. Yoh is an important person that I have to protect" ... ?
Page 107:
Yohmei: .... I understand what you feel. Do you want to stop expressing yourself with that board? I know you are really shy but it's not easy to read off of that.
Tamao (writing on board): I'm sorry.
Yohmei: Hmm... two people? Yoh's bad luck ... what does this mean? I don't think they'll be able to find Yoh who is in Yomi's cave.
Yohmei: You are still too amateur to do Kokkuri divinations. You shouldn't worry.
Tamao: ....
Tamao: He teased me again. Yes, it's already been 7 years since I've been working on my apprenticeship with the Asakura family. Master Yohmei won't stop mocking me.
Page 108:
Voice: Tamao! Are you really going to leave it at that?
Tamao: That ... voice.
Fox ghost: The small and the big guy are certainly going to hurt Yoh.
Tanuki ghost If we don't take care of it, our precious Yoh is at risk of ....
Tamao: No! I don't want that to happen! To me, Yoh is really ....
Tanuki: In that case ...
Page 109:
Tanuki: You know what to do right?
Fox: You know it, don't you?
Tamao: Ponchi ... and Conchi.
Tamao: I understand. I have to fight. They won't mess with Asakura Yoh!
