The Value of Things
Take over the game? // What is Kakerou?
----
Hm? What's this now?
----
That's an unusual face... // Since it seems Kokonoe-sama's opponent today is not a member of our club, please allow me to explain.
----
Kakerou is an organization that serves as a neutral referee for gambles when our members ask. // After the match is decided, our club takes on the responsibility of making sure people pay what they betted.

p114
Even if for example, // the ante is ones precious life.
----
Life? // What's he trying to say?
----
Our history goes back very far. // Our records list the founding as before the year 441.

P115
The first founder of our club was Kiruma Kagerounosuke. // His job was to punish clans that tried to skip out on paying when they lost a bet. That was the beginning.
----
At first, he watched over bets of the villagers, but eventually he began to watch over the bets of merchants, samurai, and fuedal lords. // The type of people that began to use him changed, and so at the same time he began to oversee only those with powers gambles.

P116
Fairly deciding bets and rules, // and fairly managing the procuring of bets from the loser.
-----
The biggest reason for their strong following was that // they would most definitely collect.
-----
In the beginning, powerful ninja collected the losers bets regardless of the persons rank or power in society // Thanks to this method of operation, the powerful people trusted in Kakerou, and Kakerou spread it's roots deeply to the center of the country in no time at all.

P117
A certain legend // surrounded the founder.
----
In 1582, Oda Nobunaga took over supremecy. Full of conceit, for entertainment he participated in a game with our leader. He bet his life. // Nobunaga lost, and it is said that he had his bet, which was his life, taken by our leader at Honnouji.

P118
The Sakuradamon incident, assasinations of important people of the meiji restoration // Scandels involving important politicians in the Showa era, the witherig of a young IT company's ceo... // Many historic incidents have been the result of our club collecting from bets.
----
Kokonoe: Yakou-san, that is enough of those old stories. // I've called you because we haven't been able to come to an agreement on a bet. I'd like you to fairly decide.
Yakou: The Hamah Casino incident was also our club.. // Oh, is that what it was.

P119
Well then, if that's how if is I have a proposal!
-----
I don't want your 10 million.
----
Instead of that, How about... // you bet your Kakerou membership?

P120
hahahaha! I see, my membership // Seems he's gotten a little excited about Kakerou and has forgot the value of money... What an idiot,,, haha
----
Yakou-san, My membership is worth much more than original bet of 10 million. We'll never get anywhere at this rate. // I'd like to leave it to Kakerou decide on a fair wager.
----
If you win, you get the membership... is that fine with you?
Baku: Totally fine.
----
Such a modest person // Ok, if that's what you say, I will not object. // Kokonoe-sama's wager will be his membership.

P121
Yakou-san...
----
I don't mean to question your judgment but... // The membership is worth more than 10 million...
-----
Does he mean that this kid is worth it. // I'd like to know the reason you made that jugdement
----
Reason? // What an odd question.

P122
The judgement of Kakerou is final! // There is no reason to question what you've left to us to decide. // You don't need to worry about that Kokonoe-sama// You can just enjoy your game.
----
Ah.. yes... // that's true
----
Are you scared?
P123
If you're scared that I'm going to take it from you // It's ok, if you want to quit now is the time //Before...

P124
You're eaten by me!

P125
HA... // HA HA...
-----
HAAAAAAAA // HA HA HA...

P126
Ha..// Ha ha ha.... // Alright
----
Whatever, my chances of losing are 1 in 10,000. // So I'll be betting my 10 million // Let's just go over it one more time
----
If you get out of the building, you win // We will try to stop you. Are you ok with that?

P127
That's fine.
----
I don't really get what's going on, but this guy is betting his money... // What are we betting? We just have to get out of the building?
----
Well then // I believe it's decided.
----
The game is for these two to leave the building! //If Kokonoe-sama prevents that or otherwise incapacitates them, the match is over!
----
The match will start one minute after you leave this room! Other than that there are no other rules!

P128
