SUMMARYBOX
Nachi：・・・・殿　二回戦　開戦より丸一日が経過いたしました
....My lord, one day has passed since the beginning of the second round

Daimyo：うむ・・・・し・・して・・・・じょ・・情勢はどうなっておる・・・・
Mm....S-So....Wh-What is the current state of affairs....?

Nachi：は・・・・・・
Well......

Nachi：すでに三流派三名の藩主候補が勝ちあがり
Three schools and three daimyo candidates have already advanced to the third round
Nachi：城下に残るはあと四流派となっております
Leaving four schools still in Jouka

Page 02
Daimyo：ク・・クク・・流石血の気の多い鬼ども・・決着まで・・あと一日はかからんか・・・・
H-Heheh..I would expect no less from those hot-blooded demons..I suppose this..will be over in less than a day....
Daimyo：して・・・・の・・残っておるのはどこか？
So....W-Who yet remains?

Nachi：（クク・・恐ろしい方だ　自分の子の命より流派の方が気になるか・・・・）
(Heheh..what a terrifying man. He shows more interest in the schools than in the lives of his own children....)
Nachi：――――残った四流派は・・・・
------The remaining four schools are....

Nachi：四神槍と称される四人からなる五竜　明神流
The Myoujin school, one of the five dragons consisting of four members known as “The Four Divine Spears”

Nachi：現在の流派の力は五竜最強とも言われる占部一法流
The Urabe Ippou School, said to currently be the strongest of the five dragons

Nachi：栗林流を全滅させた卍卍流
The Kasanemanji school, responsible for the annihilation of the Kuribayashi school

Nachi：そして・・・・黒鉄我間の大亀流でございます
And finally....Kurogane Gama’s Ogame school

Daimyo：ホ・・ホウ・・ど・・どれも強者だな・・・・
H-Ho..A-All strong warriors....
Daimyo：特に明神と占部一法のふ・・二つが未だ勝ってお・・おらぬとは意外・・・・
It is particularly surprising that the Myoujin and the Urabe Ippou h-have not a-advanced....

Nachi：クク・・この二回戦　弱者が負けるのは当然ですが
Heheh..that weaklings will lose in the second round is only natural
Nachi：正面きっての戦闘能力のみでは到底　勝てませぬ
But those who possess only pure combat ability only will also find themselves unable to obtain victory

Page 03
Daimyo：そ・・それは
Y-You speak
Daimyo：双燕流のことをい・・言っておるのか？
Of the S-Souen school?

Nachi：・・・・期待はずれでしたな
....They were a disappointment

Nachi：双燕流“凶刃”二階堂美作
Nikaidou Misaku, the “murdererous blade” of the Souen School
Nachi：十年前・・・・ほんの数か月で十以上の流派・道場が潰れた「断道事件」の中心人物
Ten years ago....he was the central figure the “Severed Dojos Incident” where over ten schools and dojos were crushed in the matter of a few short months

Nachi：いま少しやるかと思いましたが・・・・
I thought he would be somewhat capable....
Nachi：やはり　ただの“凶刃”でしたな
But in the end he was merely a “murderous blade”

Daimyo：・・お・・・・面白いではないか！
..H-How amusing!
Nachi：！？
!?

Page 04
Daimyo：や・・敗れたと言っても主君の首をと・・獲られただけのこと・・・・
Th-They may have lost, but th-that only means that their lord was beheaded....
Daimyo：ま・・まだあの“凶刃”は生きているのであろう？
Th-This “murderous blade” still lives, yes?
Daimyo：果たして・・奴が・・ただ負けを認め引きさがるかな・・・・？
I wonder..will he simply admit defeat..and return home....?

Nachi：それは・・・・
I am not sure....

Daimyo：・・・・クク・・
....Heheh..

Daimyo：勝ち遅れているよ・・四流派にとっては
Losers such as them..are probably the most frightening prospect
Daimyo：奴等のようなは・・敗者が最も恐ろしい存在となるやもしれんぞ
For the four schools..who have not yet advanced

Zen：おいおい　直善様どこへ行く気だ！？
Hey Naoyoshi-sama, where’re you goin’!?
Zen：敵の居所だってわからねぇんだぞ！？
You don’t even know where our opponents are, do you!?

Page 05
Naoyoshi：いや　とにかくこれ以上こんな所で寝てはいられない
No, but in any event, I can’t just lie around this place any more than I already have
Naoyoshi：わからなければ歩いて探す！！
If we don’t know where they are, then we’ll go looking for them!!
Zen：歩いて探すって無茶だぜ！城下も広いし・・だいたい直善様アンタまだ　そんな体力・・
That’s crazy! Jouka is huge..and besides, you haven’t recovered your strength yet..

Ranmaru：・・・・やぁ黒鉄我間
....Hey, Kurogane Gama
Everyone：！！
!!

Gama：・・・・・・・・・・
..........

Gama：お・・お前――――
Y-You------

Page 06
Gama：伊藤乱丸！！
Itou Ranmaru!!

Shin：・・・・こいつ確か城で見たぞ
....I believe I saw him at the castle
Naoyoshi：・・・・・
......
Zen：さっそく敵のおでましかよクソが！
Shit, an opponent shows up right away!?

Ranmaru：戦ってもいいが・・・・
We can fight....
Ranmaru：いいのか？俺は・・・・
But are you sure you want to? I....
Ranmaru：これから　お前達を敵の所まで案内してやろうというのに
Was going to show you the way to the location of one of your opponents

Everyone：！？
!?

Page 07
Ranmaru：困ってるんだろ？お前達・・・・
It’s giving you some trouble, right....?
Ranmaru：俺がある流派の主君と決戦の話をつけておいた
I have negotiated a decisive battle with the lord of a certain school

Ranmaru：こうしている間にも君達は獲れる首がなくなってしまう可能性がある・・・・
There’s a possibility that the head you could be collecting will be lost in the time we carry on like this....
Ranmaru：戦わずして負けるのが嫌なら俺についてくるのが賢明だ
So it would be wise of you to follow me if you don’t want to lose without even having fought

Zen：しらじらしーぞコラァ！！
What a crock of shit!!
Zen：どーせテメェ直善様の首狙ってんだろーが！
You probably have your eye on Naoyoshi-sama’s head!
Zen side of bubble：正直になれ！正直に！！
Tell the truth! The truth!!

Ranmaru：・・・・俺が君達を狙う？下らない考えだな
....I’m targeting you all? What a ridiculous idea
Ranmaru：本当に狙ってるならお前は今頃死んでいるし
If I were really after you, you’d already be dead
Ranmaru：だいたい　ウチの流派はもう勝ち抜いているはずだ
And besides, my school should have already advanced

Zen：テ・・テメェ　今俺をザオ扱いしただろ！
Y-You bastard, treating me like I’m a nobody!
Zen side of bubble：試してみるかコラァ！！
You wanna have a go!?
Ranmaru：悪いけど遊んでいる暇はない
Sorry, but I don’t have time for games

Naoyoshi：・・・・理由は？
....Why?

Naoyoshi：俺達を助けようとする理由は何だ？
What reason do you have for helping us?
Zen：な・・直善様！？
N-Naoyoshi-sama!?

Page 08
Ranmaru：！
!

Ranmaru：・・そうか
..I see
Ranmaru：何も聞いてないのか？
You haven’t heard anything, then?

Naoyoshi ：何！？
What!?

Ranmaru：・・・・・・・・
.........

Ranmaru：俺は師である黒鉄陣介とあなたの母上から
My master, Kurogane Jinsuke, and your mother
Ranmaru：大亀流に手を貸すよう頼まれている
Have requested that I offer my assistance to the Ogame school

Naoyoshi：（――――な！？）
(-----Wha!?)

Everyone：！！？
!!?
Shin：（師である黒鉄陣介！？）
(“My master, Kurogane Jinsuke” !?)

Zen：（じゃあコイツは陣介さんの弟子！？）
(So he’s a student of Jinsuke-san!?)

Page 09
Gama：・・・・・・
......

Shin：（陣介さんは我々の前から姿を消した後）
(Does this mean that Jinsuke-san founded a new school)
Shin：（新たに流派を立ち上げたということか！？）
(After he disappeared!?)

Zen：（陣介さんが俺達を助ける！？）
(Jinsuke-san is helping us!?)
Zen：（ありえねぇだろ俺達の間でいまさらよ・・）
(It can’t be, now, after all that’s happened between us..)

Zen：（だ・・だって俺たちゃ）
(B-But we’ve come here)
Zen：（あの人を殺すために―――――）
(To kill him-------)

Ranmaru：俺も　ただ頼まれているだけで理由までは知らない
They only asked me to help. I don’t know the reason
Ranmaru：だが
However
Ranmaru：何も出来ないまま負けるのが嫌ならついて来るんだな
If you don’t want to lose without having been able to do anything about it, then come with me

Ranmaru：まあ　負けてもいいというならば俺としてはそれでも構わないが・・・・
Of course, if you’re fine with losing, then I don’t mind, either

Page 10
Gama：俺は行くよ
I’ll go
Everyone：！！
!!

Zen：我間！？
Gama!?
Gama：・・・・・・
......
Gama：こいつ・・ウソはついていない
He..isn’t lying

Ranmaru：・・・・・・・・
........

Gama：きっとこいつが戦る気なら
If he wanted to fight us
Gama：正面きってくる・・・・そんな奴だと思う
Then he would attack us head-on....I think that’s the kind of guy he is

Page 11
Naoyoshi：俺も行くぞ
I’ll go, too
Zen：え！？
Huh!?

Naoyoshi：俺はこの仕合負けるわけにはいかない・・・・
I cannot afford to lose this tournament....
Naoyoshi：それに母上の助けと言うなら信じてみたい・・
Moreover, if he says this aid comes from my mother, then I’d like to believe him..

Shin：・・・・やむをえんな
....I guess we don’t have a choice
Shin：直善様が行くというのであれば
If Naoyoshi-san is going
Zen：ナヌ！？
What!?
Zen side of bubble：行くの！？
You’re gonna go!?

Shin：（確かに負けるわけにはいかないからな）
(Because you certainly cannot afford to lose this tournament)
Shin：・・・・
....
Shin：（大亀流も・・・・そしてこの俺も！！）
(Neither can the Ogame school....nor myself!!)

Shin：（たとえこれが罠であろうと・・）
(Even if this is a trap..)
Shin：（進む道を迷っている暇はない――――！！）
(We don’t have time to agonize about the path we’re taking------!!)

Page 12
Shin：・・・・何だ　結局ついてきたのか善丸・・・・・
....What’s this? So you came after all, Zenmaru.....
Shin：う・・うるさいな！
Sh-Shaddup!

Gama：・・・・・・
......
Gama：んで敵ってのはどんな奴等なんだ？
So, what’re our opponents like?

Ranmaru：・・それよりお前ら
..More importantly than that
Ranmaru：戦闘の準備はおこたるなよ
You should take care not to let your guards down

Gama：？
?
Gama：ナヌ？
What?

Page 13
Ranmaru：俺の役目は目標の敵まで案内してやること・・・・
My job is to guide you to the target opponent....
Ranmaru：「想定外の敵」の対処は自分達でやってもらう――――
You’ll have to deal with any “unexpected enemies” yourselves------

Shin&Gama：想定外の敵？
Unexpected enemies?

Gama：（何のことだ？・・もしかして真さんの言ってた・・・・）
(What does he mean by that?..Could it be what Shin-san was talking about....?)

Gama：ねえ　真さん・・・・
Hey, Shin-san....

Gama&Zen：ん？
Hm?

Shin：どうした　善丸
What is it, Zenmaru?
Zen：いや今なんか刀ふるような音が・・・・
Well, I thought I heard a sword being swung....
Zen：しかも何か臭いが・・
And this smell..

Zen：あ！
Ah!

Page 14
Everyone：！！！
!!!

Naoyoshi：死体の山だと！？
A mountain of corpses!?
Naoyoshi：二十体以上はあるが・・・・仕合の跡か？
There’s over 20 of them....are they from the tournament?

Shin：いや・・・・俺の分かる限りですが・・・・
No....as far as I can tell....
Shin：ほとんど仕合参加流派以外の武芸者のように思われます・・・・
Almost all of them seem as though they were martial artists from schools not participating in the tournament....

Page 15
Naoyoshi：・・・・しかし・・全部の死体が目を斬られていないか・・・・？
....Also..all of the corpses were slashed across the eyes....?
Naoyoshi：こんなこと一体　何者が・・・・
Who on earth could....

Ranmaru：・・・・戦い足りないうっぷんを晴らしているようだな
....It seems as though they’re venting the frustration of not having fought enough
Shin：！
!

Shin：（やはり！）
(I knew it!)
Shin：（乱丸の言ったのはそういうことか―――）
(He’s saying what I was saying earlier------?)

Shin：（これをやったのは二回戦の敗退者・・）
(The ones who did this were losers from the second round..)
Shin：（そいつらが仕合の結果を無視して暴走を――――）
(They’re running wild, ignoring the results of the tourna------)

Amane or Ukyou：おお！今度は五匹か・・・・
Hey! Seems we got five this time....
Everyone：！
!

Page 17
Amane or Ukyou：美作様
Misaku-sama
Amane or Ukyou：こいつら　仕合の参加者ですかねぇ？
These guys are in the tournament, right?

Amane or Ukyou：・・・・奴等は・・
....I..
Amane or Ukyou：城で見かけた気がするぞ・・・・うん
Feel as though I saw them at the castle....yes

Misaku：この道を通る者は全員斬ればよいのですよ
Cut down everyone who uses this road
Misaku：右京さん
Ukyou-san
Misaku：雨音さん
Amane-san
Misaku：百匹も斬れば我々の名は上がるはず
If we kill a hundred people then our reputation should improve

Misaku：ただし
However
Misaku：黒鉄陣介のような大物が混じっていたら私に譲りなさい
If some big shot like Kurogane Jinsuke is among them, leave him to me
Misaku：でないと殺しますよ
Or else I’ll kill you

Page 18
Shin：（に・・二階堂！？）
(N-Nikaidou!?)

Zen：うえ！　何だ　あいつら気持ちわりーぞ！！
Yuck! These guys make me wanna gag!!
Gama：変態には慣れた！
I’ve gotten used to freaks!

Naoyoshi：！
!
Naoyoshi：あれは“凶刃”二階堂美作・・・・双燕流か！
That’s Nikadou Misaku, the “murderous blade”....of the Souen school!?

Naoyoshi：奴等も二回戦に参加している流派だ！
These guys are another school from the second round!

Ranmaru：しかし敗れた・・・・主君の首を獲られ己が生き残ったゆえの暴走・・・・
But they lost....their lord’s head was taken but they survived, resulting in a rampage....
Ranmaru：クク・・・・面白い・・・・
Heheh....interesting....

Ranmaru：奴等　相当の使い手だぞ・・どうする黒鉄我間？
They’re quite skilled..what will you do, Kurogane Gama?

Gama：・・・・どうするって・・
....What am I gonna do..?
Gama：決まってんだろ
Do you even have to ask?

Page 19
Gama：斬る！
I’m gonna kill them!
Gama：・・で
..And
Gama：通る！！
Pass through!!
Gama side of bubble：以上！！
That’s all!!

Misaku：・・・・フフ・・
....Heheh..
Misaku：中々面白そうな奴等じゃありませんか
You all seem like a rather interesting bunch

Naoyoshi：（美作（こいつ）はかつていくつもの流派を潰していると聞く）
(I heard this guy crushed quite a few schools in the past)
Naoyoshi：（強いぞ　気をつけろ我間・・・・）
(He’s strong. Be careful, Gama....!)

Ranmaru：（・・・・・・・・）
(........)

Gama：気をつけろ　善丸　あいつら・・かなり使うぞ
Careful, Zenmaru. These guys..are pretty good
Zen：オメェこそいきなり斬られんなよ！
You just make sure you don’t get killed right off the bat!

Shin：・・・・待て
....Wait
Shin：何も三人全員が戦う必要もにあ
There’s no need for all three of us to fight
Gama&Zen：！？
!?

Page 20
Gama：真さん・・・・？
Shin-san....?

Misaku：！？
!?

Shin：お前達は先を急げ・・
Hurry on ahead..

Shin：こいつらは俺に任せてもらいたい！
And leave these guys to me!
