Pg 81
Sakai: Um um
Txt: Sakai Kyuuzou
Sakai: I am Sakai Kyuuzou. May I come in?

Sakai: Whoa

HY: Sit down!
Txt: Kinoshita Toukichirou Hideyoshi

Hanbei: Hehehe..
HB: This is almost like seeing Sengoku Gonbei several years ago...

HB: However... he is...

Pg 82
HB: Is totally different from before
HB: It's not only that his face and body look more intrepid...
Txt: Vol. 34 Only Desire

Pg 83
Hanbei: Oho.... your toes

SG: Eh?
SG: Ah... they...

SG: For some reason, I've had this habit ever since I got back from Kanegasaki
HY: Hehee... He does that when he sleeps too

HB: Hmph..... Soldiers who have passed by death all have such habits...
HB: It's so they can move their bodies in case some incident suddenly occurs...

HB: And he very naturally sits in a position where he can guard Kinoshita-san's back

Pg 84
Sakai: Um..er...
Sakai: I'm so nervous I feel like I have to pee... May I go?

SG: That’s a shame

HB: What's a shame?

SG: Ah.. no
SG: The next battle is coming up, so we can't be here for a long time....

SG: Just breathing in the atmosphere silently with Takenaka-san is pleasant...
SG: To lose even a moment of this pleasant time is a shame

Pg 85
HY: We didn't come here for fun.
SG: Eh? So then why?

HB: Hehehehe.....

HB: He studies the battlefield, enjoys the everyday, no matter where, he's enjoying learning something,...
HB: He always gives off a bright light

HY: I see.... Kinoshita-san's mysterious power to sway people's hearts, has made this Sengoku Gonbei grow

Pg 86
Txt: Have I grown at all during my seclusion in this hermitage?

HB: Kinoshita-san.... When I heard about it, my heart was moved...
HB: The retreat from Kanegasaki...

HY: Hehee... why?....All we wanted to do was survive....
HY: Hahaha.... People were moved, though

HY: Also, the Asakura army was weak
HY: I don't know anything about famous clans, but those guys, who act like they're court nobles, hiding in their shell in Ichijou Valley....
HY: In the end, they weren't much

Pg 87
HY: And... no matter how astounding their gifts are, people are the same way

HY: Do you remember? The "Revolt of Inabayama" you started?

Pg 88
HB: That was...
HB: To chastise Saitou Tatsuoki-sama, my lord at the time, for his lawlessness
HY: Wrong

HB: Then why?
HY: It was only desire

HB: Don't be stupid
HY: You only wanted to see if you could pull off an insane stunt like like taking a castle with that few people

HY: However.... Mere desire gives people hope...

Pg 89
HY: You're one of those who can move people's hearts

HY: Don't make like you don't want anything

Note: Revolt of Inabayama: Six years before the present events in the manga in 1564 (Eiroku 7), February 6th, Hanbei took over Inabayama Castle, the residence of his lord Saitou Tatsuoki. He had only sixteen troops, so it was a difficult task. There is a theory that he did it because one of the castle soldiers urinated on him, but his true motive is unclear. During the revolt, Hanbei's left eye was wounded. Later, Hanbei gave the castle back to Tatsuoki, and lived in seclusion. It was an extraordinary incident which made the entire country shiver.

Pg 90
HY: I'll say it straight out
HY: I want you like you were back then

Pg 91
HY: When you use your talents to do things, people will usually admire you
HY: But... along with that admiration comes...

HY: Jealousy.... ill feeling.... hatred....

HY: You've shut yourself up here...
HY: Simply to run away from that...

HY: You're not living
HY: that's just death

Pg 92
HY: Well...
HY: Shall we go, Sengoku...?

HY: Hanbei...

HY: If you want to live....

HY: I'll protect you
HY: The malice that follows you around, I'll take on all of it for you

Pg 93
Sakai: You there? Were you waiting?
Sakai: I had trouble peeing...

Sakai: Who's that? .... That big old guy and the young samurai...
Sakai: Takenaka Hanbei-sama is Toukichirou-sama's friend, but he freeloads off of the Higuchi clan on the Asai side... It wouldn't be strange if the enemy came here....

Pg 94
Txt: Asai retainer, Head of the Hori clan
Hori Jirou Hidemura
Txt: Chief Retainer of the Hori clan
Higuchi Saburoubei Naofusa
Box: Takenaka Hanbei had not become the retainer of Hori Hidemura or Higuchi Naofusa, but they allowed him to live off of them because they admired his character.
HB: Pardon me for keeping you waiting.... Hori-sama... Higuchi-sama...

Higuchi: Was the person that you called me and my lord here to see
Higuchi: That little man earlier?

Jirou: Was he that Kinoshita of the Kanegasaki affair?
HB: That's right

Pg 95
Jirou: That man...

Higuchi: I understand, but think

Higuchi: The Takekurabe castle I and Hori Jirou-sama protect is a crucial point in the war between the Asai and the Oda.
Higuchi: If we lose you now, we, and in turn the Asai clan may totally collapse

Higuchi: Your moving towards backing that man is nothing other than revolt against us, and also the Asai clan!
Higuchi: But.... I can't stop you!! There was not a drop of falsehood in the words that man said earlier!

Pg 96
HB: I had thought of "talent" as something which only isolated people.
Txt: "You're needed" and "I'll protect you"? Kinoshita-san's abilities have grown as well.

HB: If that was so, then spending my days like a dead person, and losing my "talent" would be reasonable
Txt: Before he definitely never went that far...

HB: But, ever since I've shut myself up in this hermitage... Only unreason has arisen in my heart.
Txt: Asking a friend for help.... then helping them out...

Pg 97
(Cut and paste panel: Sengoku: Toukichirou-sama! Even though you're the type who just pounces on women.
Sengoku: What do you mean you don't want to ask your friend for help?

Sengoku: Takenaka-sama too!
Sengoku: You don't even think of helping him because he's your friend? )

HB: That those words young Sengoku Gonbei let loose are within my chest even now...
HB: Is that growth? Or have I returned to my younger days?

Pg 98-9
HB: I, Takenaka Hanbei, shall leave this hermitage...
HB: and live
