Gamaran 7

Sorry for the delay on this. New job + putting a new deck on the house ate up all my time. If anyone could proofread it I would be most appreciative.

Servant：な・・直善様ぁ！！
N-Naoyoshi-sama!!

Servant：ただいま大仕合仕令役より一報が・・・・
I just received word from an overseer of the tournament....
Naoyoshi：何！？
What!?
Servant：我・・我間が・・大亀流が・・！！
G-Gama has..The Ogame School has..!!

Servant：天幻流を撃破したとのことです！
Crushed the Tengen School!
Naoyoshi：！！
!!

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......
Naoyoshi：（我間・・・・ほ　本当にたった一人で・・・・・・）
(Gama....Y-You really did it, all by yourself......)

Naoyoshi：（あの天幻流を・・・・・・）
(The Tengen School......)

Page 07
Naoyoshi：！
!

Naoyoshi：そ　それで我間はどうした！？
And what of Gama!?
Naoyoshi：怪我は負っていないのか！？
Is he hurt!?
Servant：い　いえそれはまだ・・
W-Well, they didn’t say that much..

Naoyoshi：く・・・・
Kuh....
Naoyoshi：何もわからんのか
So they don’t know anything?

Naoyoshi：くそ・・・・
Damn it....
Naoyoshi：（何だこの胸騒ぎは・・・・）
(What is this uneasiness I’m feeling....?)
Naoyoshi：（無事でいてくれればいいが・・・・）
(I hope that you’re safe....)

Page 08
Naoyoshi：（我間・・・・早く帰って来い・・・・）
(Gama....come back soon....)

Gama：・・・・くそ
....Damn
Gama：城下はまだか・・・・
I’m still not at Jouka....?
Gama：は・・腹減った・・・・
I-I’m so hungry....

Gama：つ~~~~
Owwww
Gama：（くっ・・・・刺された左腕が・・・・）
(Kuh....my left arm, where I was stabbed....)

SFX：ズブブブ
Zooboobooboo
SFX：サクッ
Sahkoo
Gama：（でも　ああして止めなかったら・・）
(But if I hadn’t stopped it like that..)

Gama：・・・・と・・とにかく一度直善さんとこ帰ろう・・・
....A-Anyway, for the time being I’ll go back to Naoyoshi-san’s....
Gama：腕はツバつけとけば治るかな・・？
I wonder if my arm will heal if I slobber on it..?

Shimon：その腕早く医者に見せた方がいいな
You should show that to a doctor right away
Shimon：ナメても治らんよ
Licking it won’t do any good
Gama：！
!

Page 09
Gama：わ・・わかってらい！
I-I know that!
Gama side of bubble：ダレダ
Who’s there?

Gama：！？
!?

Gama：な・・・・
Wha....?
Gama：（誰もいない！？）
(There’s no one there!?)

Gama：！！
!!

SFX：チャ
Chah
Gama：（後ろか――――）
(Behind------?)

Page 10
Gama：！！
!!
SFX：ポン
*Pat*
Shimon：おいおい俺は敵じゃないぜ我間ちゃん
Woah, woah, I’m not an enemy, Gama-chan
Shimon：脇差（それ）ひっこめてくれよ
Put your wakizashi* away
MARGIN NOTE: *Japanese short sword, usually worn with a katana.

Gama：（・・・・敵じゃあない？）
(....He’s not an enemy?)
Gama：（こいつ何で俺の名前を・・・・）
(How does this guy know my name....?)

Gama：・・・・・・
......
Gama：（いや　それよりこの雰囲気（かんじ）は――――・・）
(More importantly, what’s this feeling------..?)
Gama：あんたは・・・・？
Who’re you....?

Shimon：ん？
Hm?

Page 11
Shimon：俺は宮藤四門
I’m Kudou Shimon*
MARGIN NOTE: *Pronounced ‘Shee-moan’.
Shimon：まあ情報の収集役を少々ね・・・・
And well, I’m doing a little reconnaissance....

Shimon：今日はウチの当主に二回戦以降（いずれ）あたりそうな天幻流の偵察に行かされてね
I was sent by our leader to scout the Tengen School since they looked like they might progress to the 2nd round or further
Gama：・・・・・・
......
Shimon：我間ちゃんと同じく三日も潜んでたのさ
I’ve been hiding for 3 days, just like you

Gama：――――！
------!
Gama：（三日・・・・俺と同じく！？）
(3 days....just like me!?)
Gama：（全然気づかなかった――――）
(I didn’t notice him at all------)

Shimon：・・・・しかしおどろいたね
....But it was quite a surprise
Shimon：俺とたいして年の違わないヤツがあの天幻流を倒しちまうとは
That someone like you, who isn’t much younger than me, would defeat the Tengen School

Page 12
Shimon：我間ちゃんのこと
I may have developed
Shimon：ちょっぴり気に入っちゃったかも
A teensy bit of a liking for you, Gama-chan

Gama：！！
!!

Shimon：ふーんこれがやられた左腕か
Hmmm so this is your wounded left arm, huh?
Shimon：どれどれ・・・・
Let’s see.....
Gama：おい
Hey
Shimon：いいからいいから
There, there
Gama：いや・・・・ちょっ・・
Hey...hang on a sec-

Shimon：・・・・！
....!

Shimon：よく我慢できるなこれ・・・・・・
You’ve got a high threshold for pain......
Gama：・・・・・・
......

Gama：え！？
Huh!?

Shimon：・・・・フム
....Hmm
Shimon：ぱっと見じゃ詳しくはわからんが
I can’t tell much by just giving it a quick look
Shimon：多分取り返しのつかない傷じゃあない
But it’s probably not a permanent injury
Shimon：ただ・・・・
It’s just....

Page 13
Shimon：今すぐ医者の治療を受けたとしても
Even if you receive treatment from a doctor right away
Shimon：一月は使い物にならんだろーな
You probably won’t be able to use it for a month

Gama：な！？
Wha!?
Gama：アンタ医者？
Are you a doctor?

Page 14
Shimon：今すぐこの仕合を辞退しろ
Withdraw from this tournament immediately
Shimon：その腕じゃこれ以上の戦いは無理だ
Any further fighting will be impossible with your arm like that
Gama：！
!

Gama：・・・・・・
......

Gama：は？
Wha?
Gama：まだやれるさ右腕もある
I’ve got my right arm, I can still fight

Shimon：・・・・フッ勘違いするなよ
....Don’t get the wrong idea
Shimon：君をここで死なすには　おしいと思って言ってるんだぜ？
I’m saying this because I think it’d be a shame for you to have to die here, y’know?

Shimon：キミは強い
You’re strong
Gama：・・・・・・
......
Shimon：だがまだまだ未完成の武芸者だ
But you’re still a martial artist in training

Page 15
Shimon：もしたった一人でこの仕合を勝ち続けるつもりでいるなら
If you think you can keep winning in this tournament all by yourself
Shimon：君は少々思い上がりがすぎる
Then you’re a bit too conceited

Gama：・・・・ハハ
....Haha
Gama：なにもいきがってるわけじゃないよ・・
I’m not trying to be cool or anything..

Gama：ただ俺には剣（コレ）しかないから
It’s just that all I’ve got is my sword
SFX：ポン
*Pat*
Gama：剣の道で俺の全部を燃やしたい！！
So I want to devote everything I’ve got to the way of the sword!!

Page 16
Shimon：・・・・・・！
......!

Shimon：・・・・あれま
....Hey, hold i-
Gama：まーそーゆーことなんで
That’s how it is
Gama：助言ありがとう
Thanks for the advice

Shimon：・・・・・・
......
Shimon：フーン
Hmph

Shimon：やっぱりキミ
You really are
Shimon：スゴク良いね
Amazing

Shimon：・・・・じゃあせめて
....In that case
Shimon：これくらいは知っておいた方がいい
There’s something you should at least be aware of
Gama：！？
!?

Gama：・・・・・・
......
Gama：何さ？
And what would that be?

Page 17
Shimon：大亀流の残りの敵二流派
It’s about Kyousen School and the Nakaizumi School
Shimon：鏡千流と中泉流について・・・・
The Ogame School’s two remaining enemies....

Gama：ホ！？
Ho!?

Shimon：ほれ知りたいだろ？
See? You want to know, don’t you?
Gama：し　知りたい！
I-I do!
Shimon：素直でヨロシイ
I’m glad you’re honest

Shimon：・・・・フフ
....Heheh
Shimon：これがさ
Well then

Shimon：両流派とも意外なとこがあってね・・・・
Both schools have some surprises....
Gama：！？
!?

Page 18
Shimon：まずは中泉流――――
First the Nakaizumi School------
Shimon：ここはわずか一名で参戦しているらしい
It seems they have but a single participant in the tournament

Gama：一人！？よっぽど強気かバカね　その人・・
One person!? That person is either really strong or really stupid..
Shimon：キミもな
Just like you

Shimon：だが
But
Shimon：問題はその武器――――
The problem is their weapon------

Shimon：中泉流は“狂弓”の威名をもつ・・・・
The Nakaizumi school is known and feared for their “kyoukyuu”*....
MARGIN NOTE: *Crazy bow.
Shimon：弓の流派だ
They’re a school of the bow

Gama：弓！？
A bow!?

Gama：きゅ・・弓術か
A-Archery?
Gama side of bubble：どー戦えば・・・・
How do I fight that....?
Shimon：ははは俺なら絶対戦いたくないわ
Hahaha, I definitely wouldn’t want to fight them

Shimon：・・・・そしてもう一つの流派だが
....As for the other school

Page 19
Shimon：鏡千流（こっち）は百年以上の昔戦乱の時代に生まれた体術流派
The Kyousen School was born over 100 years ago during an era ravaged by war and is a pugilistic school
Shimon：武器は一切用いず打撃中心の技が多いのが特徴
They don’t use any weapons and have a lot of techniques centered around striking

Shimon：逆にいえばそれほど強力な打撃技をもつということかな
Conversely, I guess that means their striking techniques are that powerful
Gama：へぇー
Wow

Shimon：参戦者は全部で六名・・・・
All together they have 6 participants....
Shimon：それを束ねるのは
And the one who leads them

Shimon：大丸左近――――
Is Daimaru Sakon------
Shimon：鏡千流史上最年小で技の全てを相伝した傑物だ
He’s an incredible man and the youngest in the school’s history to inherit its techniques

Page 20
Shimon：父である先代の当主を負かしたのは
It’s said that he defeated the previous head of the school, his father
Shimon：左近がわずか十三のときだったって話だ
When he was only 13 years old

Shimon：左近は今　二十歳さらに強くなっている
He’s now 20 and even stronger than before
Gama：・・・・・・・・
........

Shimon：これは俺の個人的な見解だが
This is just my personal opinion

Shimon：天幻流を倒してもなお
But even though you defeated the Tengen School
Shimon：君が　この一回戦を勝ち抜くのは絶対に無理だ
There’s absolutely no way you will emerge from this 1st round victorious
Bottom text：次号！第八話！！「狂弓」と「無刀」が襲いかかる！！！
Next issue! Chapter 8!! “Kyoukyuu” and “Kyousen”* swoop in!!!
MARGIN NOTE: Kyoukyuu meaning “Crazy Arrows” and Kyousen meaning “No sword”.
