Summary box：あらすじ　武芸者たちが集う“鬼の巣”海原藩で三十一流派が天下無双を競う海原大仕合が始まる。天幻流（長刀）を撃破した大亀流・黒鉄我間は続く中泉流（弓）にも勝利。残る鏡千流（体術）の大丸左近を破り一回戦を突破した！
Summary: Martial artists gather in the Fiefdom of Unabara, nicknamed “The Demons’ Lair”. There, the Grand Tournament of Unabara, a tournament where 31 schools will compete for the title of “unrivaled”, is underway. Kurogane Gama of the Ogame School masterfully defeated the Tengen school (Naginata). He went on to score another victory versus the Nakaizumi School (bow). Gama then defeated Daimaru Sakon of the Kyousen school (classic martial arts) and emerged from the first round victorious!

Iori：合格だ・・・・
You pass....
White insert text：師匠・伊織の我間調べ！？
Gama’s teacher, Iori, was examining him!?

Iori：（こいつ　すでに雷電型の身体操作が完璧に近ぇ）
(His bodily control while in the Ikazuchi Kata is already almost perfect)
Iori：（これなら三式を極められるかもしれねぇ）
(Given that fact, he might be able to master the third form)

Iori：（ただし・・・・）
(But....)

Iori：（二回戦開始までに三式を会得できなかったときは）
(If you can’t master the third form by the time the second round starts)
Iori：（覚悟してもらうぜ我間・・・・）
(I’ll have you make your resolve, Gama....)

Iori：・・・・クク
....Heheh

Iori：まあそんなときゃ
Although, if that time comes
Iori：俺が“別の道”を用意してやるがな・・・・
I’ll prepare a “different path” for you....

Naoyoshi：まだか！！山本！！
No word yet!? Yamamoto!!

Naoyoshi：我間はまだ見つからんのか！！
Haven’t you found Gama yet!?
Naoyoshi：勝利の報が入ってもう半日以上たつぞ
It’s been more than 12 hours since we received word of his victory

Yamamoto：は！
Sir!
Yamamoto：捜索の者も多数出しておりますが
We have assigned many people to the search

Yamamoto：・・・・いまだ
....But
Yamamoto：我間殿は発見出来ぬとのこと・・・・
We have yet to discover Gama-dono’s whereabouts....

Page 04
Naoyoshi：そ・・そんな・・・・
N..No....

Naoyoshi：（・・・・これだけ捜しても見つからない・・・・？）
(....They’ve searched for him that much and still nothing....?)
Naoyoshi：（ならケガで帰れずにいるわけでもないのか？）
(Then, could it be that he is unable to return due to his injuries?)

Naoyoshi：（まさか鏡千流以外の何者かにさらわれたとでもいうのか？）
(Or, heaven forbid, could it be that he’s been abducted by someone other than the Kyousen school?)
Naoyoshi：（一体何の目的で・・・・？）
(But to what end....?)

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・
.........

Naoyoshi：汗が・・・・
Sweat....

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・
........
Naoyoshi：（俺は何でこんなにも動揺を・・・・？）
(Why am I shaking so much....?)

Page 05
Naoyoshi：（・・・・我間が死ねば大名への道が閉ざされるから？）
(....Is it because my road to becoming the daimyo ends if Gama dies?)

Naoyoshi：（俺は何としても大名になりたい）
(I want to become the daimyo more than anything)
Naoyoshi：（卑しい身分の女と見下され続けている母上のためにも・・俺自身のためにも）
(For my mother, who is of low status and constantly looked down upon..and for myself, as well)

Naoyoshi：（だが・・この動揺はそれだけか？）
(But..am I shaking just because of that?)

Naoyoshi：（我間は俺にとって・・・・）
(What does Gama mean to me....?)

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・
........

Naoyoshi：山本・・・・とにかく・・
Yamamoto...in any event..
Naoyoshi：俺はこうしてはいられない！！
I cannot just sit here like this!!

Page 06
Naoyoshi：鏡千流との決戦の場所へ向かう！
We shall head to the site of the last battle with the Kyousen school!
Naoyoshi：そこに行けば何か手がかりがあるかもしれん
If we go there we may find some kind of clue

Assassin：・・・・あれ・・・・？
....Oh....?

Assassin：もしかしてあの人・・・・
That person, isn’t that....
Assassin：直善様じゃないの？
Naoyoshi-sama?

Leader：う――――んこりゃついてるなぁ
Yeeeaaah, how lucky for us
Leader：我間って子は帰ってないっていうし屋敷に侵入する手間もはぶけましたよ
I hear that Gama kid hasn’t come back, and the trouble of invading the mansion has been eliminated as well

Page 07
Leader：・・・・・・・・みなさん「仕事」の準備は出来ていますね？
........You’ve all finished your preparations for “work”, correct?

Assassin：・・・・いつでも
....Ready anytime

Assassin：・・・・・・・・
........

Assassin：グケケ・・
Guheheh..

Leader：よろしい・・・・今回は刀で頼みます
Very well....I request that this time you do it with swords
Leader：じゃ私は手が出せませんので・・・・
Now, I can’t get involved, so....

Page 08
Yamamoto：直善様　やはり我間殿のこと・・・・
Naoyoshi-sama, you...
Yamamoto：心配なんですね
Are worried about Gama after all, aren’t you?
Naoyoshi：ん？
Hm?

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・・・どうかな・・
............Who knows..
Naoyoshi：俺はアイツをどー思っているのか・・
I don’t know what I think about him..

Yamamoto：ハハ・・・・大丈夫ですよ
Haha....He will be fine
Yamamoto：我間殿はいままでだって強い者とやりあって生き残ってきた
He’s fought with strong opponents and come back alive thus far

Naoyoshi：・・・・
....
Yamamoto：今回だって彼はきっと・・
Surely he will return this time as w-

Yamamoto：！？
!?

Yamamoto：ん？
Hm?
Yamamoto：足？
A leg?

Page 09
Both：！！
!!

Naoyoshi：し　死体！？
A c-corpse!?

Yamamoto：く・・首がない！
It..It’s headless!
Yamamoto：この格好はウチの森田のようですが・・・・
Judging from the clothes, it appears to be Morita....

Naoyoshi：――――――！
--------!
Naoyoshi：何だと？
What?

Yamamoto：直善様
Naoyoshi-sama

Page 10
Yamamoto：後ろ！！
Behind you!!
Naoyoshi：！？

Naoyoshi：な！？
Wha!?

Naoyoshi：くっ
Kuh

Page 11
Naoyoshi：ぎッ
Gih
Naoyoshi：（こいつ―――）
(This guy-----)

Naoyoshi：（何者！？）
(Who is he!?)

Yamamoto：何奴！！直善様―――
Who are you!? Naoyoshi-sama-----
Yamamoto：お逃げ――――
Run awa------

Naoyoshi：！

Page 12
Naoyoshi：山本！！

Yamamoto：を―――

Assassin：・・・・これが太刀か・・
....So this is a sword, huh..?
Assassin：ザクリと切れる・・・・
It slices so easily....

Naoyoshi：くっ・・・・
Kuh....
Naoyoshi：お前達何故俺をねらう！！
What do you want with me!?

Naoyoshi：・・・・！まさか暗殺！？
....! An assassination attempt!?
Naoyoshi：兄上達の誰かの手の者――――！？
Henchmen of one of my brothers------!?

Naoyoshi：辻斬りにでも見せかけ　俺を殺してしまえば
They pretended to kill a passerby in order to test their skill. If they kill me
Naoyoshi：いくら大亀流が大仕合を勝とうが無意味になる・・・・
Then no matter how far the Ogame school makes it, it’ll all be for naught....


Page 13
Assassin：わかってるねぇ
You get it, dontcha?
Naoyoshi：！
!
Naoyoshi：（そこまでして俺を――――）
(They’d go to these lengths to------)

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・

Naoyoshi：（・・・・母上・・・・）
(....Mother....)

Naoyoshi：（ちくしょう・・・・）
(Damn it....)

Page 14
Naoyoshi：（俺はこんなところで・・・・）
(I’m going to be killed....)

Naoyoshi：（殺されるのか・・・・）
(In a place like this....?)
Naoyoshi：（こんな奴に・・・・）
(By men such as these....)

Naoyoshi：（俺はまだ・・・・）
(I....)
Naoyoshi：（死ぬ訳には・・・・）
(Can’t die yet....)

Assassin：ヒヤアアアアアアアアアアアア
Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Naoyoshi：なっ！！？
Wha!!?

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・

Naoyoshi：（脇差しが飛んできた――――！？）
(A wakizashi came flying in------!?)
Naoyoshi：（一体・・・・どこから・・・・）
(But....from where....?)

Page 17
Zenmaru：おっしゃあ！！見たかよ
Oh yeah!! Did you see that?
Zenmaru：見事　首に命中したぜ！
A clean hit, right to the neck!
Shin：フン
Hmph
Shin：直善様らしき人にあたらなくてよかったよ
I’m just glad you didn’t hit the one that appears to be Naoyoshi-sama

Zenmaru：あ？　やらなきゃどっちにしても死んでたよ
Huh? If I hadn’t done that he’d be dead anyway
Shin：バカめお前が十八回も道を間違えなければこんなことには・・・・
Fool, he wouldn’t be in this situation if you hadn’t gotten lost 18 times....
Zenmaru：間違ったのは真さんだろ！
You’re the one who got lost, Shin-san!

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・
........
Naoyoshi：（こいつら誰だ！？）
(Who are these two!?)

Naoyoshi：（俺を助けた――――！？）
(They rescued me------!?)

Zenmaru：ケッ！とにかく間に合ったんだ
Feh! In any event we made it in time

Page 18
Zenmaru：問題無し！
Everything’s fine!
Shin：やれやれやっと着いたか
Well, I guess we’ve finally arrived
SFX：ボシュ
Bo-shoo

Page 19
Shin：・・・・で
....So
Shin：あんたは直善様ですね
You’re Naoyoshi-sama, correct?

Naoyoshi：え！
Huh!?
Naoyoshi：そうだがお前らは！？
I am, but who’re you guys!?
Shin：やはり！
I knew it!
Zenmaru：・・・・・・・・
........

Shin：よし！善丸俺の考え通り間違いないよーだ
Alright! It’s just as I thought, there appears to be no mistake
Shin：いくぞ
Let’s go
Zenmaru：オオ！
Okay!
Naoyoshi：おい・・
Hey..
Zenmaru：真さんの考え通りっつーかさっきそう呼ばれてたからな　この人
It wasn’t so much that you figured it out but that someone called him that earlier, wasn’t it?

Zenmaru：さて・・何だお前らこれも海原大仕合なんか？
Now, then..who’re you guys? Is this part of the Grand Tournament, too?
Assassin：？
?
Zenmaru：まあ何者でもいーいが・・
Well, you could be anyone for all I care..

Zenmaru：二対二だし丁度いいぜ
But it’s 2-on-2 and that’s just perfect

Page 20
Zenmaru：俺は一ノ瀬善丸　死ぬ前に覚えとけ
I’m Ichinose Zenmaru, remember it before you die

Shin：・・・・桜　真ノ丞　真さんで通っている
....Sakura Shinnojou, but I go by Shin-san

Zenmaru：大亀流
We’re gonna show you
Zenmaru：見せてやるぜ！！
