Double Arts 19

It would have been *much* funnier if Farran had them do cheerleading. I mean, that's a synchronizing exercise, right?

DONE. please proofread.
and looks like I was wrong, THIS was the chapter centered on the series' name. right?

01
right corner: Double Arts
-...you want me
-to teach you how to fight?
bold: Kiri's unexpected request!

-...your enemy
-was able to single-handedly destroy the entire Falzen battalion.
-Do you understand what you're up against?

-of course!

-hmph...

02
-Very well
-I'll help you out
bold: And Farran's unexpected answer!!
left: EEEEEH-----!?
lower right: LESSON 1
lower left white: Sorry to keep you waiting! / Volume 1 now on sale!
lower left: Komi Naoshi

-Right on!
-That's what I wanted to hear!
-W-wait a minute!
-I didn't hear anything about this!

(3 sets top to bottom: )
-But you'll do it, right?
-W-well yes, but...
-Are you serious about this Kiri!?
left is just tehehe

03
-Hmm...since when were thinking like this?
-I could've taught you anytime, you know...
-Don't be ridiculous
-It's impossible for you to teach anyone anything

-So u-um...
-It's a pleasure to be working with you, Farran-san!

-Thank you so much for offering to help us!
-I'll do my best as well!

-Not so fast! I have some terms...
-First, you must obey absolutely everything I say
-Second, I'll be the one to tell you when and where you're allowed to go
-Got it? You aren't allowed to act on your own
-Oh and...one more...

04
-I get to handle the money
-Give me every cent you've got
-WHAAAAAT!?

-ALL OF OUR MONEY!? small - What a rip-off!!
-That's right, let's see it
-We're getting started right now
-The second you're ready, get outside!

-...what?

-i mean...

-Your terms just now
-don't serve any real purpose

-...have those kids grown on you?

05
-...it's not that I hate them...

-...so you mean
-you like them?

-Hmph

-All right!

06
-Now we're ready for anything!
-I wonder what he'll make us do?

-Ok! We're set! What do you want us to do now?
-Uh....Farran...-sensei?
-Farran is just fine!
-I hate being called sensei

-...right...
-Let me explain a few things first

-You told me just a while ago all about yourselves, correct?
-Eh? yeah...

07
-I was measuring your "affinity"
-In other words, what kinds of things you'd be best suited for, as opposed to the things you wouldn't
-I like to survey information to decide what I should teach...
-and determine in what manner would be most appropriate

-But just listening to your story allowed me to devise a plan
-All you two need to do is simply stick to my menu, as it were
-Simple, right?

-Okay then, sensei!
-What exactly do you want us to do!?
-I see you want to get smacked

-...no need to rush
-Before I answer that question,
-There's something you two need to recognize

08
-Right now, your goal is to become stronger

-So what is it, then, that you feel you need the most?

-Erm....
-Power? Knowledge on fighting styles?
-Ah...maybe weapons...?

-Nerves of steel!! (t/n - coming from the master herself :amuse)
-Experience
-is my guess

09
-Good answer
-but incorrect
-Each of those has merit, but the most important of all is...

-Synchronization
-Or in other words, a perfect combination!
-this quality is your very lifeline in the ability to fight with your hands together
-If you don't learn how to perfect it, you won't even be able to move around decently

-So I devised a method of training
-that will prove most effective in teaching you how to complement one another

-So what's the method...?

-You need to learn...

10
-How to dance!

-Huh?

-GYAHAHAHA (x2, you get the point)

11
farran sfx - clap clap
-come on! One, two! One, two!
-Don't fall behind!!
sui is just "hyahahaha / hiii~~~yahahaha" etc

-You're lagging again! Pick up the pace!

-Feel the rhythm! Maintain your posture!
-CONCENTRATE!

-How many times do I need to repeat myself?? You're doing it again!!
-You two aren't together! Once more, from the top!!

12
-GIVE US A BREAK!
-ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THIS!?

-As serious as can be.
-For the time being,
-I want you to do nothing but dance

-B-But--!!
-In order for you two to learn to move as one,
-There is no better method than this

-At all times, the two of you
-should be able to produce smooth movements. Dance is the perfect basis upon which to assist you in thoroughly mastering this skill!
-Keep going until I say stop!

13
-I get the logic, but
-will this really make us stronger!?

-...fine
-Let me tell you about myself

-Once, I belonged to a certain country's guerrilla unit
-But after removing myself from the military,
-I traveled the world learning all sorts of martial arts
-...from the newest to the most ancient arts--everything

-And eventually, I came to a point where I was capable of teaching others
-Although it may seem to the contrary, I have much experience in teaching others martial arts

-Well...
-believe me or not, it's your choice

14
-Farran...
-i mean sensei! How old are you really??
-Let's just say not as young as you think I am!!
-...keep it up and I WILL deck you!

-You two have the talent to do this
-Trust me for now, and let's continue

-Uh...
-"two"?
small - I do too??

-Yes

-From your point of view, you probably think
-that your pointy-haired friend has some kind of superhuman reflexes
-...I do
(t/n - there is a tiny text next to kiri, but the raw is so scratchy i can only read the first kanji. there's hundreds of hits for words starting with it, so i don't have the patience to search for what it could be. if you don't care, i don't either, otherwise send me a higher res shot of that box)

-However,
-the fact that you can keep up with them means you aren't ordinary either

15
-You have the capability
-If you can develop it, you will become strong

-Um, Farran-san...
-Could you please refrain saying such things in front of Sui?
small: Kiri warned about this!
-My apologies /small - i forgot

-You look like you have something to say to--

Pthoo! (spitting sfx(?))

16
-...indeed
-Both of them do have the qualities of great fighters...

kiri small - All right, let's go again!
elle - okay!

-But the most terrifying is him
-and that power called "FLARE"!

-Depending on how many people hold hands, he has the ability to multiply everyone's strength?
-It comes at no risk...
-And is seemingly limitless?
-Impossible...

17
-It's almost like a perpetual motion device...
-A power which defies the very laws of creation!

-The simple act of holding hands is the only price by which limitless energy is derived...?
small elle - I thought you were nimble!
small kiri - I'm new to this!!
-As if creating something from nothing...
-This power is beyond the realm of humans

-If that power
-were to fall into the hands of scoundrels with wild imaginations, then...
-the world would be...

-Kiri...
-Just what destiny were you born to bear?
-...time out. Let's have a chat.

18
-Can it wait? small - please, sensei...
-It won't take long

-It's about the goal of our lessons

-I think...
-We should create a martial art that only the two of you can use

-That only we can use?!
-Yes, after all
-There aren't any other martial arts in the world centered around fighting while holding hands
-Therefore, it's best to start from scratch

-...we're going to create...

-A martial art just for the two of us?
-Huh...

-I'll watch over them until it is complete
bubble - But it will need a name
bubble - Why don't we call it this for now:

19
-DOUBLE ARTS (t/n - kanji lit. pair-battle-dance)

Bold - The name that belongs only to these two!!
