Shin：よし・・・・ここならしばらくは安全だろう
Alright....we should be safe here for a while

Shin：・・・・直善様の様子はどうだ？
....How is Naoyoshi-sama’s condition?
Zen：そ・・それがよ・・
W-well, um..

Gama：かなり熱があるよ
He’s running a high fever
Gama：出血もひどかったし・・・・
And he was bleeding pretty bad, too....

Gama：特に左肩のキズが深いみたいだ――――
Especially from the wound on his shoulder. It looks pretty deep------
Naoyoshi：ハァ
Huff
Naoyoshi：ハァ
Huff

Page 02
Shin：いつ目を覚ますか・・
When will he wake up..?
Shin：出来れば　すぐにでも医者に見せたい状況だよ・・・・
This is the kind of condition you want to show to a doctor right away, if at all possible....

Naoyoshi：ハァ
Huff
Naoyoshi：ハァ
Huff

Zen：・・・・・・・・
........

Zen：（ちくしょう・・俺のせいだ・・・・俺があんときスキさえ見せなきゃ）
(Dammit..this is my fault....if only I hadn’t let my guard down back there)

Gama：（・・さっきの戦い俺は直善さんに助けられた・・・・）
(..Naoyoshi-san saved me in that last fight....)
Gama：（直善さんがいなきゃ俺は死んでいたかもしれない――――）
(I’d probably be dead if he hadn’t been there------)

Page 03
Shin：・・・・・・
......

Shin：（しかし忍三人から攻められ生き延びるとは・・）
(But to think that he survived being attacked by three ninjas..)
Shin：（武芸者でもないのに大した若君だ・・・・）
(Our young lord may not be a martial artist, but he’s still quite good....)

Shin：（主君がこの人でなければこの二回戦――――）
(If it had been any of the other lords------)
Shin：（俺たちはあそこで終わっていた）
(The second round would’ve ended right there for us)

Zen：（頼む　直善様早く目ぇ覚ましてくれよ）
(Please, Naoyoshi-sama, wake up soon)

Gama：・・・・・・・・
........

Shin：（この方は他の若君とは根本的に何かが違うようだ・・・・）
(It seems that something about this man is fundamentally different from the other young lords....)

Shin：（これほどまでの覚悟・・・・）
(He has such resolve....)

Page 04
Shin：（いったいどんな思いをもって）
(What on earth is your motivation)
Shin：（この戦いに臨んでいるのか――――！？）
(For participating in this battle------!?)

Naoyoshi：ハァ
Huff
Naoyoshi：ハァ
Huff
Naoyoshi：か・・勝たなければ・・
M-must win..

Naoyoshi：（く・・・・そ）
(Damn....it)

Page 05
Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・
..........

Naoyoshi：！
!
Brother：クク
Heh heh
Brother：普段の減らず口はどうしたぁ？直善・・・・
What’s become of that impudent mouth of yours now, Naoyoshi....?

Brother：せっかくこの兄が直々に剣の稽古をつけてやっているのになぁ
Your brother is going through a lot of trouble to give you a personal lesson on swordplay
Brother：もうそろそろ限界だろ――――・・
I suppose you’ve about reached your limit-----..

Page 06
Brother：クク・・これで少しは・・・・
Heh heh..So....
Brother：身の程を知ったか？
Have you learned your place now?

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......

Naoyoshi：・・・・ではこれで
....So
Naoyoshi：満足してもらえましたか？
Are you satisfied now?

Brother：あん？
Huh?

Naoyoshi：自分でわからないのですか？
Don’t you understand?
Naoyoshi：いつも俺につっかかってくるアナタのくだらない腹いせに付き合っただけです
You always come and take out your meaningless frustrations on me. I just go along with it.

Naoyoshi：でなければアナタののろい剣など
If I didn’t, those slow attacks of yours
Naoyoshi：あたるわけがないでしょう
Would never hit me

Brother：！
!

Page 07
Brother：ま・・
W-
Brother：待てぇ！キサマァ！！
Wait! You bastard!!
Naokatsu：あ・・兄上もうやめましょう！！
B-brother, please stop already!!

Naokatsu：直善兄さんは数十発も木刀を受けたんだ！
Naoyoshi-niisan has already taken several swings from your practice sword!
Naokatsu：もう十分でしょう！！
That’s enough, isn’t it!?

Brother：だまれ直勝！貴様　奴の肩をもつのか！？
Silence, Naokatsu! Are you sticking up for him!?
Brother：奴は父上の跡目候補には入れぬような下賤の者だぞ！
He’s of such low birth that he isn’t even fit to be one of Father’s successors!

Brother：そもそもあんな卑しき女から産まれた奴が我らと同じ兄弟であるということすら汚らわしい！！
The very fact that someone born of such a foul woman could be one of our brothers disgusts me!!

Brother：もっとも最近はその母親にも敬遠されてるというウワサだがな！！
Although rumor has it that recently even she is keeping her distance from him!!

Brother：・・・・・・
......

Naokatsu：！？
!?

Page 08
Brother：！？
!?

Brother：アッ
Agh
Brother：アァ！！
Aaagh!!

Naoyoshi：母上のことをバカにするな・・・・
Do not mock my mother....

Page 09
Naoyoshi：それとも今すぐ殺してやろうか？ブタ野郎
Or else I’ll kill you in a heartbeat, you filthy swine

Brother：ぐ・・・・ブタ・・だと？
Guh....filthy..swine?
Brother：そもそも俺を殺すなどと・・・・
Kill me and they’ll make you commit seppuku....
Brother：貴様なぞ切腹・・いや斬首だ・・
No..they’ll behead you..

Naoyoshi：知るか！！
As if I care!!
SFX：クィ・・
*squeeze*

Brothers：や・・やめろ直善！！
S-stop it, Naoyoshi!!
Brothers：兄上！！
Brother!!
Brother：グググ・・・・
Guh guh guh....
Brothers：誰か直善を止めろー！！
Someone stop Naoyoshiii!!

Page 10
Shin：・・・・どうだ直善様の様子は・・！？
....How is Naoyoshi-sama doing..!?
Zen：・・・・まだ・・目ぇ覚まさねぇよ・・
....He..still hasn’t woken up..
Zen：（むしろ悪化してるかもしれねぇ！！）
(In fact, he might be getting worse!!)

Shin：（やはり医者に見せるしかないのか・・・・だが・・）
(Do we really have no choice but to take him to a doctor....? But..)

Gama：・・・・
....

Naoyoshi：・・・・うう・・・・・・母・・上・・
....Oo oo......Mo..ther..
Gama：直善さん・・・・
Naoyoshi-san....

Page 11
Naoyoshi：兄たちと騒ぎを起こすと
They put me in a cell
Naoyoshi：いつも俺は牢に入れられた――――
Every time I caused a commotion with my brothers------

Naoyoshi：（兄には一切のお咎めがないにもかかわらずだ）
(Despite the fact my brothers never received an ounce of punishment)

Naoyoshi：（・・・・俺はああまで母上を馬鹿にされても）
(....They mock my mother so)
Naoyoshi：（何の抵抗も許されないのか？）
(And yet I am not allowed to fight back?)

Naoyoshi：（なんて・・・・）
(What....)
Naoyoshi：（なんて無力なんだ・・・・）
(What a feeling of helplessness....)

Naoyoshi：（母上・・・・）
(Mother....)
Naoyoshi：（俺は・・・・）
(I....)

Page 12
Naoyoshi：（権利（ちから）が）
(I want)
Naoyoshi：（ほしい！！）
(Power!!)

Naokatsu：兄上　傷は大丈夫ですか？
Brother, are your wounds alright?

Naoyoshi：・・・・
....
Naoyoshi：お前・・
You..

Naoyoshi：直勝・・・・
Naokatsu....
Naokatsu：大丈夫ですか　兄上・・・・？
Are you alright, brother....?
Naokatsu：これ・・・・持ってきたんです
I....brought you this

Naokatsu：あの騒ぎの現場に落ちていました
It was on the ground where all the commotion happened
Naokatsu：大事なものなんですよね？その短刀・・・・
That tantou*, it’s important to you, right....?
MARGIN NOTE: *Literally “short sword” but more like a dagger.

Naoyoshi：・・・・ああ
....Yes
Naoyoshi：これは母上からもらったモノなんだ
My mother gave this to me
Naoyoshi：礼を言うよ・・・・
You have my gratitude....

Naoyoshi：・・だがすぐ帰ったほうがいい・・・・
..But you should leave now....
Naokatsu：え？
Huh?

Page 13
Naoyoshi：オレと一緒にいたりすると
You don’t know how they’ll treat you
Naoyoshi：お前も　どんな扱いを受けるかわからないぞ・・・・
If you keep company with me....

Naokatsu：――――兄上・・
------Brother..

Naokatsu：やっぱりすごいです兄上は・・・・
You truly are amazing....
Naoyoshi：！
!
Naokatsu：どんな時でも何者にも・・何事にも屈さず生きている・・
You live without ever giving in to anyone..or to anything..

Naoyoshi：・・・・フッ俺がすごいだって？
.....Heh, I’m amazing?
Naokatsu：・・・・？何がおかしいのです？
....? What’s so funny?

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・・・・・
..........
Naoyoshi：俺なんて別に立派でも何でもないよ・・・・
I’m not anyone to be held in any esteem....

Naoyoshi：もしそう見えるのなら・・
If I appear that way

Page 14
Naoyoshi：コイツの
Then it’s probably
Naoyoshi：おかげかもしれないな・・・・
Due to this....

Naoyoshi：俺が幼いころ母上がこの短刀をくれた時に言ったんだ・・・・
When I was young, my mother gave this to me and said....
Naoyoshi：“直善・・・・私の子であるという誇りだけは捨てるな・・・・”と
“Naoyoshi....never cast away the pride of being my child....”

Brother：（あんな卑しい女から産まれた奴が兄弟など汚らわしい！！）
(Having someone born of such a foul woman as my brother disgusts me!!)

Naoyoshi：・・・・なぁ　直勝・・・・
....Hey, Naokatsu...

Naoyoshi：ないのか？
Is there no way?

Page 15
Naoyoshi：俺が・・・・父上に藩主候補と認めさせる方法はないのか？
Is there no way.....to make Father recognize me as a daimyo candidate?

Naoyoshi：俺は何としてでも藩主を決めるという海原大仕合に出たい！
I want more than anything else to participate in the Grand Tournament of Unabara to decide the next daimyo!
Naokatsu：・・・・あ　兄上・・・・
....B-Brother....

Naoyoshi：俺は与えられた運命を
I want to change
Naoyoshi：変えたいんだ――――――
The destiny I’ve been given--------

Page 16
Naoyoshi：（俺と母上を取り巻く全ての運命を――――）
(To change the entirety of the destiny that surrounds my mother and I------)

Naoyoshi：――――！？
-----!?
Naoyoshi：・・・・こ・・ここは？
....W-Where am I?

Gama：――――――！！
--------!!

Zen：あぁ――――！！
Aahh------!!
Shin：ムッ！？
Hm!?

Page 17
Zen：な・・直善様　目が覚めた――――――！！
N-Naoyoshi-sama, you’re awake--------!!
Naoyoshi：え？
Huh?

Zen：よ・・よかったぜぇ―――！！直善さまぁ！！
Th-This is great-----!! Naoyoshi-samaaa!!
Naoyoshi：あ？善丸
Huh? Zenmaru
Naoyoshi：お・・俺はいったいどうして・・
H-How on earth did I..

Shin：傷からの熱でうなされていたのですよ
You were talking in your sleep due to the fever caused by your wounds
Naoyoshi：真さん
Shin-san
Shin：まだ無理はしないほうがいい
You shouldn’t push yourself too hard yet

Naoyoshi：そ・・そうか・・そういえば肩が・・・・いたい・・な
I-I see..now that you mention it, my shoulder...hurts

Gama：――――ったく・・
------Geez..

Page 18
Gama：やっと目ぇ覚ましたか・・・・
So you finally woke up, huh....?

Gama：正直　一瞬死ぬのかと・・・・
To be honest I thought you were gonna die for a second there....
Naoyoshi：我間・・・・
Gama....

Naoyoshi：そ・・そうだ！俺はいったいどれくらい寝て・・・・
Th-That’s right! How long have I been aslee-
Shin：丸一日ほどです
One whole day

Naoyoshi：ま・・
A..
Naoyoshi：丸一日だと！？
A whole day!?
Naoyoshi：・・・・ま・・まずい！！
....Th-that’s not good!!

Shin：・・・・・・
......
Shin：ええ・・
No, it isn’t..
Shin：すでに　この二回戦何組かは勝ち上がってしまっているかもしれません
Some groups have probably already advanced to the third round

Page 19
Shin：それにこの二回戦の方式では
Moreover, with the way the second round is setup
Shin：時間がたつほど不利になる要素が増える！！
The longer it goes on, the greater the number of disadvantageous factors!!

Shin：一番可能性が高いのは
The most likely scenario
Shin：一つの流派が二つ以上の藩主候補の首を獲り　戦う相手がいなくなること
Is that one school will collect the heads of two or more daimyo candidates leaving us with no one to fight

Shin：さらに厄介なのは
Even more troubling than that
Shin：ろくに戦わずして主君の首だけ獲られ負けた流派の残党が増えること・・・・
Is the fact that the remnants from the schools that didn’t do much fighting and lost merely because their lord was decapitated will increase....

Shin：果たして鬼の巣の猛者が大人しく帰るか・・
Its not as if the fierce warriors of the Demons’ Lair would just go home peacefully..

Naoyoshi：・・・・・・
......
Naoyoshi：なら急ごう・・
In that case, let’s get a move on..
Zen：直善さん！まだ立たねーほうが・・・・
Naoyoshi-san! You shouldn’t be on your feet just yet....

Naoyoshi：・・・・大丈夫だ　善丸・・それよりも俺は・・
....I’ll be fine. Zenmaru, more importantly than that, I..

Page 20
Naoyoshi：（俺は負けるわけにはいかないんだ！）
(I cannot lose this tournament!)

Ranmaru：・・中から物音？どうやら目を覚ましたか・・・・
..Sounds from inside? Seems like he’s woken up....

Ranmaru：なら　そろそろ大亀流の本当の力・・・・
In that case, I’ll have to have the Ogame school....
Ranmaru：見せてもらわなければな
Show me its true power
White insert text：九死に一生を得た　大亀流に近付く者・・　無宝流の伊藤乱丸！！
The Ogame school narrowly averts disaster and now the man who closes in on them..is the Muhou school’s Itou Ranmaru!!
Bottom text：次号！第三十九話！！大亀流に“新たな”試練！！！
Next issue! Chapter 39!! A “new” ordeal for the Ogame school!!!
