3(no bubble): rattle
4(no bubble): slice

8)
1: Ummm.
2: What are you doing?
3: Hm? Can't you tell?
4: Listen up.
5(2b): The water overflowing from the river runs this way. So we just need to block this part off.
6: We'll need more than a few stones, though.
7(no bubble): Busy, busy!
8: Why are you helping me?

9)
1: You're a warrior traveling to train.
2: Why are you wasting time with me?
3: Well, umm...you're letting me stay here.
4(no bubble): I dunno, really.
5: What about your training?
6: You haven't trained at all!

10)
1(2b): Ohh, here it comes again. Not yet, dammit!
2: Heavy rain won't be here again for a while.
3(2b): A wooden sword? Let me see it.
4(2b): How many of these did I make, I wonder? I made a lot when I was a kid.
5(3b): This wood is a little soft. Not that it matters. Not like it's been made to kill someone.

11)
1(no bubble): munch munch
2: Sorry.
3: All I've got tonight are dried potatoes.
4(2b): What are you saying? You don't need to keep treating me like a guest.

8: once and for all.

12)
1: We're gonna win against the water.
2: Win!!

13)
1: That samurai's sure been staring at that river for a long time.
2: Every single thing that guy does is sorta...creepy, you know?
3: Don't tell me he's thinking of throwing himself in?
4: Hahaha! Nah, I doubt he'd die in such shallow water.

14)
1(2b): Umm, I want you to teach me how to read and write. It's raining outside anyway.
2: Hm? Me?
3: I can teach you what I know, I guess...
4: A wooden sword and reading and writing...what, do you want to become a samurai, Iori?
5: Well, I guess...
6(2b): Your family used to be samurai so you have documents left over, huh?
7: (Classic Japanese)
8(bubble 1): Classic Japanese
9: (Classic Japanese) Umm...

19)
1(no bubble): Hey!

20)
1: I know a man...
2: who's like this water.
3: Free and uncatchable.

21)
1: If I fight him, I'll lose.

22)
1: I may have beaten the water, but I don't know what to do now. All it ever does is rain.
2: I'm bored...
3: My body's going to become dull.

23)
1: Let's do sumo.
2: Gaaaah
3: Man, you're light.
4(nb): Take that!
5(nb): Bam

3: Does it hurt?
4: Does it hurt when you do sumo?
5: No, it doesn't.
6: Just itches.

28)
1: Hm?
2: Let me see your legs, Iori.
3: I'm not hurt.
4: Uwahh! They're all black!
5(2b): I'm gonna wipe 'em off. Stay still. You smell like a dog.
6: Gyan!
7: rub rub
8(2b): Ohhh! This dirt has been piling up for years!
9(2b): Haha! It's fun to watch all this gunk come off.

2: Yeah.
3(nb): Ahiiiee
4: Takezou.
5: What kind of guy is the guy who's like water?

30)
1: Huh?
2(2b): The grave...? Maybe he misses his dad.
3: What kind of guy is the guy who's like water?

31)
1: Slow.
2(2b): But fast there. That's what decides how the bottom of the river looks.

32)
1: Wide river,
2: thin river.
3: Soft riverbed.
4: Sudden riverbed.
5: Water...

33)
1: Where the water flows to.
2: Current speed.
3: Slowness.
4: The water itself doesn't choose.
5: It simply obeys.
6(2b): The shape of the soil in the riverbed, wind...
7: Outside forces like these are what decide everything.
8: Which means that water...

35)
1: is completely...

36)
1: Oh, come on.
2: How could you let your guard down this much?
3: You may not be such a strong samurai after all.
4(2b): I wanted to have you teach me how to fight with a sword, but maybe I'll reconsider.
side: Truly without shape.
5(nb): Pffft
