Title: 138th Climb Freezing Temple
[All the title stuff is the same as normal. Why does EVERY chapter have to have the "new age climbing story" thing? In case you forgot what the premise of the story was every chapter?]
Side: While right at the 7000 meter point on the K2 East-Face, the grout of the partner's emotions grows thick. Their hearts connected by climbing rope will...

[Climbing!]

[Watching climbing!]

Page 4:
Someone: ......!!?
[So you guys have got now how Takemura is wearing the sunglasses type goggles, right? And Katou is wearing the other ones.]

Page 5:
Takemura: "Take a detour to the left..."
Hmph.
Another safety plan...?
There's a fault over there anyhow,
Is he trying to say that because of the distortion, it'll be easier to get over the crevasse?
Katou: ...!!!

Page 6:
Takemura: ---------Go down already after coming this far?
K2 is the concept of being blessed by weather itself... it's a miracle.
......Let's do as planned and go to 7500m and adapt the the elevation there.

Katou: But Takemura...
Your body...
Takemura: ...Let's climb staccato from here. I'll leave my stuff here and take the lead.
Asterisk: *Alternating time climbing, when people trade off time climbing.
[The second asterisk doesn't have a technical term in English to translate to.]
Takemura: You belay, senpai... and get ready for lifting the bags, please...

Katou: I really can't let this go on anymore.
You've gotten slow from brain and lung edemas...
Takemura: Then I'll carry the bags...
Come on, let's go...

[No, the guy's just slowly going insane from his brain expanding inside his own skull.]

Takemura: I'm not letting and old man...
look cool and set foot on an untrodden snow field first, no matter what...

[Snow]

[Check out that mountain... whichever one it is. I guess K2 from the southeast...]

Page 16:
Katou: Hana-chan, Rokka...

Page 17:
Katou: I wanna go home...

Page 18:
Takemura: ......Do you know why
I invited you...
...senpai?
Because if I fell in a crevasse or something, you'd make sure to stop me from falling,
so that way I could go all out and even do a direct-climb straight to the top.

Page 19:
Takemura: ...What a conceited jerk...
I'm going to stand on the great snow field
before you...!!!
Side: A cold dry great ice wall. The thought of what was loss resounding in a toyed-with pure heart. Now the proof of his existence is climbing alone.
Bottom: 138th Climb

Next issue, with a definitive conflict, what will happen in the big stage of the ahead of them...!?
