History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi 152

Well, this went a lot faster than I thought it would. I was looking forward to finishing this one because the old translation of it was just painful to read. Enjoy. If you have any requests for re-translations, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

Monk: This will confirm the final resolution to your conflict…
Monk: You should not hold a grudge, no matter what happens.

Glasses: I was prepared for this from the very beginning!
Shiraishi: I accept!

Page 3
Glasses: Gwaaaahhh!
Monk: Call a doctor!

Shiraishi: Hm.
Shiraishi: Silence. I only gave you a shallow wound, but you’ll never hold a sword again.

Shigure: Hayashimusou style of the Shiraishi clan… is it?
Shiraishi: Who’s there!?

Shigure: Kousaka style… Kousaka Shigure.
Shigure: That thing at your waist… I’ve come to take it.

Page 5
Shiraishi: Kousaka Shigure!?
Sword Guy: The heaven-sent child, Kousaka Shigure!?

Shiraishi: Now, you’ve come all the way out to this “killing field” in the countryside. Could it be that Ryouzanpaku has finally taken notice of me?

Monk: Shiraishi-dono, killing is permitted, but you must keep it to a minimum!
Shiraishi: Hmph, what part of “killing field” don’t you understand!? This is much more than a chance meeting!

Shigure: I’ve heard… that you hold… quite a sharp sword.
Shigure: What is its name?

Shiraishi: Heh… if you defeat me…

Page 6
Shiraishi: Then I’ll let you see the nakago*!
Note: *if one removes the handle of the sword, its name is engraved here

Shigure: The family crest of the Sanbonsugi…
Shigure: The seal of its six descendants is unmistakable…

Page 7
Shigure: This isn’t the sword I’m looking for!
Shiraishi: Uh!

Shiraishi: This can’t be…
Shigure: This time was also… a failure.

Page 8
Kenichi: Uooohhh!

Kenichi: Ugh…. That was intense! Just this part was harder than usual… I’m still getting used to it….
Akisame: Hahaha.
Akisame thought: I increased the weight of the barbells, after all.

Page 9
Kenichi: Ah, Shigure-san… you’re coming back in the morning?
Shigure: Y…eah.

Kenichi: Today, she’s empty-handed…
Kenichi: She always leaves for 2 or 3 days, and then returns holding a long and narrow package.

Kenichi: Where does that person always disappear to?
Akisame: I wonder.

Kenichi: “I wonder,” he says. Come on…

Page 10
Miu: Oh my, is Shigure-san back?

Kenichi: Yeah… where does that person always run off to?
Miu: Who knows?

Kenichi: …all anyone ever says is “Who knows?” Something’s up…

Kenichi: When she usually comes back, she looks beat up and even injured,
Kenichi: and she’s usually holding a huge Japanese sword. She must be involved in something shady!
Shigure: I’m…
Shigure: home.

Miu: If it’s Shigure-san, I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Miu: No matter what kind of danger she gets herself into, she’ll definitely come back safely.

Kenichi: But…
Miu: Moreover, could you please take this to Shigure’s room? She’s always hungry when she comes back!

Page 11
Kenichi: Shigure-sa~n.

Tochuumaru’s Ribbon: “Shigure is sleeping.”

Shigure: Come… in.
Kenichi: He’s guarding her room…

Kenichi: But, this is my first time in Shigure-san’s room…
Kenichi: The room of an adult woman…

Kenichi: My heart is beating a little fast~♥

Shigure: Sorry… I’ll turn the traps off.
Kenichi thought: Now my heart is beating really fast!!!
Kenichi: Slowly, slowly!

Page 12
Kenichi: Uwaahhhh… how brutal…

Page 13
Kenichi: Shi-Shigure-san, I brought you some rice balls.

Shigure: Put it over… there.
Kenichi: Amazing, where does she sleep?

Shigure: I’m tired and hurt all over… I won’t… move.

Apachai: Apa!?

Akisame: What happened to Kenichi!?

Apachai: Apaaaa! Shigure’s traps killed him!!!

Page 15
Kenichi: I’m not dead, I’m not dead!
Kenichi: But I did catch a little glimpse of heaven and hell…
Miu: Shi-Shigure-san! Just what are you wearing!?
Shigure: I stayed up late… last night.

Shio: What, Shigure, you’re still going sword-hunting?
Kenichi: Stop it!
Apachai writing: Yay! You’re still alive!

Kenichi: Eh? Sword-hunting?

Akisame: Sakaki!
Shio: Ah, crap!

Kenichi: Gah!

Page 16
Kenichi: Sword-hunting, huh…
Kenichi: Come on, Sakaki-shishou!

Shio: Shoo, shoo! Shut up!
Shio: Argh, get off!
Kenichi: Pleeeaase~

Akisame: Everyone has the right to their own privacy!
Akisame: That is one of the rules here!

Shigure: It’s all right…

Page 17
Shigure: If it’s Kenichi, I don’t mind.
Shigure: You can tell… him.

Akisame: How surprising… I never thought she would say that.
Shio: I’ve got nothing to do with this!

Page 18
Akisame: …very well. Since she wants you to know…
Akisame: I’ll tell you about her past!

Kenichi: Shigure’s…
Kehichi: past!

Page 19
Akisame: Want me to stop?
Kenichi: I-I’ll listen! Please tell me!

Akisame: To explain her past, I must first tell a story of my own…
Kenichi: Eh? Koetsuji-shishou’s story?

Akisame: Hmm… because I was the one who brought her to Ryouzanpaku.
Akisame: It’s all because of me…

Page 20
Akisame: I was also the person who killed her father…
Akisame: It was none other than me!
