< business plaza >
Manta: You are such a slowpoke! Yoh: Don't be too loud. I'm still sleepy.
Manta < shouting >: Then don't be late when you appoint someone!
Manta: Today we have Kendo's*(1) Examination. Don't you have to take it !?
Yoh: I have a bad feeling today. Let's go home.
Manta: Shut up.

< a billboard falling over Yoh >
Manta: Ah!
Pedestrian1: What?
Pedestrian2: Arh! There is a kid below that fallen billboard!
Manta: Yoh!
< yoh laying in some kind of gap, saying 'Hi…' He is shocked >
Manta: Ah!!
Pedestrian3: Scary.
Pedestrian4: That's dangerous
???: Damn!

< Title Chapter 3: Unfinished billboard >

< at school >
Yoh: Ah. That is shocking. Luckily, I wake up in time.
Manta: The liquor storeowner told me that they tried to fix that billboard so many times but it kept falling.
Yoh: Many times? That is strange.
Manta: Um.
Yoh: That is terrible.
Manta: What terrible? That's what I called terrible.
Manta: You think you can pass Kendo test? Our school has high standard for both academic and sports. Don't think they will let you go easily.

< Yoh with Amidamaru, hitting his opponent >
Yoh: piece of cake.
Instructor: Pass!
Manta: Amidamaru!
Amidamaru: A samurai must payback his patron's generosity, so I have to follow Lord Yoh everywhere.
Manta: Eh?
Yoh: Ha, ha, now I have more friends.

< More spirits appear >
Yoh: Friends who hang around here.
Manta: AH!!!
Yoh: Mr. Suzuki, who suicides because being picked on
Suzuki: I love to do tests.
Yoh: Mr. Kobayashi, the captain of Marathon club who was hit by a motorcycle while competing
Kobayashi: Let me handle all the running
Yoh: Mr. Ashita, an artist who did not sleep for 15 days, then died in the competition. Ms. Noriko, a pianist who died because of sickness…
Yoh: With every expertise here, I don't have to worry about any test.

Manta: Coward!
Yoh: Coward?
Manta: An exam is to test your own skill. How can you use other people to do it?
Yoh: Why not? I want to be a professional shaman. I see nothing wrong with this method.
Manta: Professional?
Yoh: Um, like musician or artist. So this is a skill I will use. I don't really care about examination or study, as long as I graduate.
Manta: Then, you won't do anything else but borrowing other people's skill?

Manta: Pathetic!
Manta: I thought shaman was cool, but actually you were just a coward.
Yoh: Ah, Manta!
< Manta runs away >
Amidamaru: Seems like Mr. Manta don't understand the difficulty of being a Shaman.
Yoh < sigh >: It's OK. I don't expect a bookworm like him to understand it anyway.
Yoh: I have more important thing to ask a favor from you, Amidamaru.
< somewhere >
Manta: Huh.

Manta: Boring. He is just fooling around. Professional my rear.
Manta: Actually, when he changed clothes, there was a lot of scars on his body. Because of his training?
Manta < laughing >: Or maybe he just falls too many times because his lack of concentration.
Manta: Even almost getting squash by a billboard
< The same billboard starts to fall >
Manta: Eh

Manta: AH!
Amidamaru: Jump here!
< Billboard falls… Manta dodges it >
Amidamaru: That was close, Mr. Manta!
Manta: Amidamaru, why are you here?
Amidamaru: Lord Yoh sent me to look after you.
Manta: Look After?
Amidamaru: Yes, sir.

Amidamaru: From a ghost that possesses that billboard.
Manta: What !?
Ghost: Do… Do…

< The ghost jumps at Manta >
Ghost: I will do it!
Manta < screaming >: Do what~~~?
< Amidamaru protects Manta >
Amidamaru: Step back, Mr. Manta. This is a bad 'obsessed one'*(2)
Manta: Obsessed one? Then he use to be a man.
Amidamaru: Yes. Ghost is a reflection of your spirit. If your spirit is bad, your reflection also becomes bad.
Amidamaru: I don't know what happens to him, but with this kind of shape, I think he want vengeance.
Manta: Vengeance? There is this kind of ghost in this town?
Amidamaru: Not only here.
Amidamaru: When people die all of the sudden, they cannot admit the truth that they die. They become angry with everything, and become an obsessed one*(3)
< sign: High accident area >

Amidamaru: Mr. Manta has seen so little of ghosts. This is just one kind.
Manta: So Yoh must encounter a lot of these spirits.
Amidamaru: Yes , sir. But this one…
Ghost: Do… Do…
Ghost: I will do it.

Manta: Amidamaru!
Amidamaru: I am all right, sir.
Amidamaru: In this kind of fight, physical appearance does not matter. The power only derives from the strength of the minds. What makes this ghost so strong?
Ghost: I will do it
Yoh: You want to do this, right?

< Yoh with a bucket of paint >
Yoh: I have brought a can of white paint.
Manta/Amidamaru: Yoh…
Ghost: Do… Do…
Yoh: It's so hard to investigate your story. I have to ask both human and ghost. Such a troublemaker.
Manta < thinking >: Why did he bring paint?
Ghost: Do… Do… Do…

< Ghost hits Yoh! He is bleeding! >
Ghost: Do…!
Manta: Blood. Yoh, what are you doing?
Amidamaru: He intends to get hit.
Amidamaru: Let the spirit touches flesh that he normally cannot in order to let him know shaman's power.
Yoh: A year ago, when you painted this billboard you fell off the ladder trying to get this white paint. Unfortunately, there was a truck coming by…

Yoh: You are very proud of your work. When you can't finish the job, you get disturbed. When time passes by, you becomes an obsessed one, harassing anyone with the special sense.
Yoh: Ah. Shaman's job is to help a ghost like you. So, please use my body to finish your job, Mr. Kanta, the billboard painter.
< The ghost stuns >
Manta: Amidamaru!
Amidamaru: Things are fine now.

< Ghost becomes Kanta >
Yoh: Good. Now you remember who you are.
Kanta: I can finish that job? Who are you?
Yoh: Just some one who dedicates to work like you.
< description: After that, the sign is finished, and the billboard never falls again. Now I know the real behind Yoh's scars, I feel ashamed of myself. - Manta >

Translation Note:

*(1) Kendo is Japanese fencing.
*(2) An apology (and a complaint) here. I really have no idea what is the word to describe this ghost (and, unfortunately, don't have a Japanese version to cross check the word). I just made this word up based what Manta explains. Seems like Westerners do not have many words to describe a ghost since they believe that after we die we just go to heave (or hell, based on what you did). There is no way that your spirit can hang around not doing anything. Most of words to describe ghost associated with the dark side because (I think) most are satanic spawns (well not really, but you got the pictures).
*(3) Let me take a shortcut here. Think of the movie 'the sixth sense.' This kind of ghost is the same kind of ghosts appear in the movie, ordinary people who cannot let go. And don't let me spoil the ending of the movie :)
