rei: where the hell is him!?\\
ushi: uheheh!\\
ushi: I can feel the enthusiasm of all the newcomers in kanto gathered here!\\
ushi: I’m really going to enjoy this!\\
yuu: … this time is a one vs one tournament where you are out after a single defeat\\ if I lower my guard it will be finished in a second\\
yuu: I don’t know what I will be able to accomplish, but at least…\\
yuu: as the former strongest man in dachi high… and as a senpai of the club…\\
3
yuu: I have to advance further than these two guys here!\\
chi: hahah, I will show you my shocking sumo debut!\\
hot: … they are all so big…\\

kei: so you were able to gather 5 people to enter into the inter high tournament!\\
kei: by the way look at this! It is the new issue on sales tomorrow!\\
ushi: wow! We are on it!\\ it is just a small article, but they talk about us in the tournament section!\\

kei: be sure to entertain me!\
yuu: sada is not in this tournament?\\
ushi: yeah\\
6
ushi: the dates of this tournament overlap with the final selections of the last tournament\\ so he is there right now\\
ushi: it will be a little complicate to decide the king of the newcomers without him around…\\
?: heheh… you are right\\ it is such a pity that I cannot return him the favours he made to me…\\
?: but I will be sure to return the favour I owe you\\
?: ushio-kun\\
ushi: ah! You are…\\ ookouchi!\\
7
?: heheh… it is normal that you don’t recognize me immediately\\ I have gained 5 kilos since our last match…\\
?: I was really surprised, to think that you are the infamous “onimaru”\\ I could have used several of my techniques if I knew who you were… that was a regrettable battle for me…\\
?: and now that I think about it my knee was not feeling too well at that time… but today I have a secret plan to…\\
chi: hey hinomaru! Help me with the loincloth\\
ushi: ah… ok!\\
ushi: see you later ookochi!\\ let’s do our best!\\
hot: … “onimaru” again…\\
?: hey… isn’t that onimaru?\\
?: oodachi… he is the real one\\ he is so small and yet\\
?: did he really win against mikazuki?\\
8
hot: it looks like… you are attracting a lot of attention here…\\
oz: only ushio\\ we are only a nameless school after all\\
yuu: keh…\\
yuu: we will change things in this tournament\\ they will learn our worth!\\
chi: oh! That’s a good thing to say\\ this is the first time you sound like my senpai\\
oz: … he basically said what ushio told us in the other tournament…\\
ushi: uheheh! You are exactly right!\\
ushi: … for the preliminaries I will go into another meeting place than you\\
ushi: therefore we will meet only in the finals\\

ushi: the strength of the newcomers of dachi high!!\\
?: yeah!!\\
mic: eastern corner kawato high school, ookouchi-kun\\ western corner oodachi high school kunisaki-kun\\
?: wha…\\
10
?: what the hell are those movements!?\\ wresting!?\\
ushi: from what I could understand during the school festival you know a little about sumo…\\ the techniques coming from wresting… they should work really well in your sumo!\\
chi: good… I will show you! Chihiro special, sumo edition!!\\
11
?: hey wait a minute…\\

chi: strongest!!\\

pho: yeah…\\
pho: he is the real thing,…\\
chi: perfect! One victory for dachi high!!\\ come on, give me five\\
yuu: … shut up and leave me alone\\
yuu: … dammit why did I end up in the same preliminary block of this guy!\\
yuu: now we cannot all get to the finals!\\
yuu: let’s get serioius…\\
13
yuu: I will be the one…\\
yuu: to win and fight against hinomaru!!\\
?: hey, what the hell is happening!? onimaru Isn’t the only strong guy in oodachi high school!?\\
??: dachi high is strong!!\\
kei: … he became quite a strong sumo wrestler as well…\\
14
hot: o-ok! I will follow my senpai’s lead…!\\
oz: … come back alive, mitsuhoshi!\\
ushi: kei!\ you have trained together with us for an entire week\\ it doesn’t matter if you look lame! Just go with the guts you are so proud of!\\

15
? eastern corner wins!\\
hot: uuuh…\\
hot: it finished…\\ my debut fight\\ lasted for just a second…\\
oz: good job!\\ it was just your first fight, next time it will go better!\\
oz: it is good that you didn’t end up hurt!\\
hot: s-sorry…\\ it finished without me learning anything…\\
16
oz: the tournament is still on!\\ looking at the others is also training!\\
oz: you can learning things by looking at the others’ matches!\\
hot: I will go to see hinomaru-san’s match!\\
?: I am confused…\\ I thought that things would get bad after seeing “wrestling” and those “pushing techniques”, but…\\
?: onimaru is even worse than that, right? oodachi is bad news after all…\\
kei: It seems like… I’m not the only one paying attention to onimaru… and dachi high\\
pho: in the entire gym there is a strange feeling of tension floating in the air…\\this is the “king” strength after all…\\
kei: … we should take a look to that king’s fight as well…\\ let’s hurry to the B sector of the preliminaries\\
pho: what’s wrong? it seems that you are not that sure about his abilities\\ he should advance without any problems considering his strength\\
kei: well…\\
kei: one of his opponents doesn’t make me be so sure about that…\\
?: onimaru onimaru onimaru onimaru…\\ that midget is still called with that name, huh…\\
18
?: how do you call me, the one who won against onimaru, then?\\
?: I won against a king, shouldn’t I be a king as well?\\
pho: the one who won three consecutive matches against onimaru during middle school!?\\
kei: onimaru lost against a lower rank opponent, so this thing is not well known on national level\\
kei: he is the one who stripped onimaru of his tittle of king, and made him disappear from the sumo world…\\
19
kei: “onimaru killer”\\ shimoyama rinpei\\
rin: I will teach everyone\\ “how to defeat onimaru”\\
inserted: the deep curse that must be overcome for onimaru’s revival…!!\\
