#snb 173

(Page 1) TN: The chapter starts with various shots of what a few hours ago was the kingdom of Sindria, the former citizens burning in the streets with swords through their heads and limbs, and everything is on fire (Just like Sinbad’s flashbacks from Magi…)

(Page 2) TN: Sinbad walks down the streets with a stern look on his face while he has an inner monologue.

Sinbad: It’s strange… To think my mind has come clear.

Even though the country has become like this…

The country, it’s citizens and my comrades…. I lost them all.

………

……...

I wonder, why did things end up this way?

(Page 3)

We, in order to create our own country, made great efforts, tried all possible means and came to realize our dream, to found a country.

.

TN: Facility flashback! (The start of the end…)

 ---- ….

Even if sometimes those acts were like selling our souls to the devil.  

 We, who didn’t have anything, came to the decision to do what was necessary on behalf of creating a country.

We turned a blind eye on things that became an obstacle in the foundation of the country, and that way, we ended up like this.

Our country collapsed.

In just an instant, right in front of our eyes ….

The collapse of the things we built up is…. certainly unbearable.

…. But I guess, hasn’t it always been this way?

 (Page 4)

My company was a success, I thought I was at the summit, while in the midst of it I fell into slavery.

My position, my social status, I lost it all…

And then I brainwashed the kids in just the same way as that woman, and obtained Mariadel’s company by paying so much sacrifices…  (TN: He means the lives of the children)

I was tortured by regret and indignation.

It was a pain that felt just like hell…

But, the outcome was the right one.

 (Page 5)

I made of Masrur of the Fanalis one of my comrades.

The Fanalis are a great military strength.

And, I was happy to make a connection with the dark continent.

And, The Mariadel company.

If I hadn’t won over the huge capital that belonged to the Mariadel company, The Sindria company wouldn’t have come this far, and wouldn’t have grown so much.

In fact, it’s because I had those funds that I was able to make a contract with Barbarossa.

If I hadn’t become a slave, If I hadn’t won over the Mariadel company…

…

…That’s right, I wouldn’t have been able to found a country.

That time I fell into slavery was nothing but a “stepping stone” for me to *reach this point.

(TN: For me to reach the summit/to come this far… btw he uses the same word that David uses in Magi when he says it was all “an opening move/strategic move/Stepping stone”, I don’t know I thought it was interesting to mention it haha)

(Page 6)

If I look back, it was like that from the beginning.

My father, who left to the front lines in order to protect my family.

My mother, who supported me and sent me on my own way while on the verge of death.

It’s because everyone was there, that I challenged the dungeon and obtained the power of a Djinn and could start my travels as an adventurer.

(Page 7)

I couldn’t miss a single thing….

All of it was a necessary element for my destiny.

In other words,

A “Stepping stone”

…

All of those events are connected by destiny.

There is only pure “inevitability”.

.

There is no such thing as a meaningless event.

Because in this world, only the things that are necessary for destiny can happen.

(Page 8)

Drifting into Imuchakk and meeting Hinahoho and the others, and also meeting Ja’far and the others, conquering Valefor’s dungeon, also traveling to Napolia, and while having a painful experience as a merchant, I was guided by king Rashid and built a company,

(Page 9)

Sasan,

Artemyra,

Heliohapt,

No matter what kind of hardships there were, I came to obtain my djinn, comrades, and great strength.

No matter how terrible, no matter how gruesome the situation was.

(Page 10)

Barbarossa, we mutually used each other and then turned against him, too.

Serendine, who stood up by her own beliefs, too.

This outcome was something decided form the very beginning.

Because they also…

Because they are no more than a “stepping stone” involved by my destiny…

In that case,

There is only one answer.

 (Page 11)

TN: Sin reaches the stairs that lead to his former palace, and where a great deal of black rukh seems to be fluttering around.

Come now, show me, destiny.

What is waiting ahead of this war…. What I will do next….

Until which heights will you lead me….!!

(Page 12)

TN: He approaches the palace, and then, Falan sees him.

Falan: !

You are… Sinbad.

What are you doing here!? You should have escaped together with your comrades.

Sinbad: …. …..

Falan: Did you come here with the express purpose of dying? What an eccentric guy…

… Well then, if that’s the case, you better look at it with your own eyes.

(Page 13)

TN: sEREN whAT are you?!

.

 The moment in which our great father makes of this black vessel its medium and descends from it!!

.

 TN: And then, somehow, Sinbad notices…

 (Page 13)

Sinbad:  Serendine?

.

.

And the chapter ends with a big roar of Medium!Serendine and Sinbad staring at her.
