panel 4: ... who on earth was he ... that person
i knew he was a swordsman ... was he strong?
panel 5: if he saw through Kurogane's habit in that instant
... then maybe he's a guy worthy of killing

the former vice-captain ... he was a swordsman called "the last ace"
Asagiri Nao ...!!!
panel 4: according to the female senpais he was a powerful person who didn't even fall behind Kamiya-san
until last year the two of them supported Ouka all the time however ...
panel 5: ... that person what is his connection now?

pg. 06
panel 1: even the female senpai ...
just made it clear
panel 2: after last years Kanto preliminary Asagiri-senpai
left this club ...!!
panel 3: the senpai said that the Kantos were special and participated in them right
right ... yeah
perhaps Asagiri-senpai wasn't as well
panel 4: i wonder if that senpai is returning ...
panel 5: he's only following that ...
panel 6: haa?
panel 7: one year ago he suddenly dissappeared, that mysterious ace ...
what was it ... that made the senpais silent ...
will he return completely ...!? this is the greatest mystery since highschool began ...!!

pg. 07
panel 1: the one who is called Ouka's best ace
even such a small mystery, i won't allow it!!!
let's follow it!! Asagiri-senpai's mystery!!!
didn't you know that that it's strange to like rumors?
panel 2: so it's settled we're going to follow Asagiri-senpai at once!!
eeh

panel 3: that's foolish ... i'm going home
Kurogane-kun you're going right!?

what i said!?
panel 4: ... well it's ok
i wonder if he was an amazing senpai
perhaps he was returning ...?
panel 5: how will we do that! how are we going to follow a guy without knowing where he is!?

no way!!?
it's been a long time that guy
panel 6: he really came ... you're amazing Hiroto
haha ... but ... what is he doing out here?
panel 7: wouldn't it be alright if we just asked him directly?
yeah but ... senpai didn't mention him in one year therefore
