Chapter 72

BOX: あらすじ 修行のために訪れた大亀流の隠れ里“戎簾の里”で我間達は、「里の番人・麟太郎から一本取る」という課題を与えられる。突破のヒントは「気配を見る」こと。我間達は果してこの課題を突破できるのか―――。
Summary: Gama and co. have gone to the Ogame school’s hidden “Juuren Village”. There they are given the task of scoring a blow on the village’s guardian, Rintarou. Their hint for doing so is to “see your opponent’s signs”. Will Gama and Zenmaru actually be able to overcome this task------?

Page 02
Rintarou:・・フフ・・伊織達を越えるつもりとは面白いデース
..Heheh..it’s interesting that you intend to surpass Iori and Shin-dono
Rintarou:イイデショウならば早速始めまショウ
Very well, in that case let’s not waste any time getting started

Rintarou:二人ともいつでもかかってきなサーイ・・・・
The two of you can come at me any time you’re ready....

Gama:・・・・
....

Gama:ワリーけどそのつもりはねーよ
Sorry, but that’s not the plan
Rintarou:!?ハッ?
!? Huh?

Gama:俺達は・・・・
We’re gonna score our blows....

Page 03
Gama:アンタと一対一でやって
One
Gama:一本取る!!
At a time!!

Iori & Rin:!?
!?

Yumeji:な!?
Wha!?
Yumeji:何言ってんの!?キミ達が一対一で父上を相手にするなんて――――
What’re you saying!? There’s no way you can face my dad one-on-one------

Yumeji:何のつもりか知らないけどそんなの無謀よ!!
I don’t know what you guys’re up to but that’s just reckless!!
Zen:・・・・・・
......

Zen:・・まあ
..Whatever
Zen:いいから見てな
Just watch

Page 04
Zen:俺達の修行の成果をよ――――――
And see the results of our training--------

Rintarou:(・・なるほど 一月前とはだいぶ雰囲気が違う・・)
(..I see, he feels quite different than he did a month ago..)

Rintarou:(言うだけのことはあるヨウダ・・・・)
(It seems he’s not all talk....)

Rintarou:(しかし・・・・)
(But....)

Page 05
Rintarou:(この試練はそう簡単に突破などデキナイ!)
(He won’t be able to pass this trial so easily!)
Rintarou:いつでも来なサーイ
Whenever you’re ready

Yumeji:!
!
Yumeji:父上が始めて構えた・・
That’s the first time dad has taken his stance..

Rintarou:(我間クン)
(Gama-kun)
Rintarou:(お手並み拝見といきマショウカ・・)
(Let’s see your skill..)

Gama:Unreadable text/scribbles

Page 06 + Page 07
Yumeji:!?
!?

Gama:――――ち
------Tch
Gama:少し力んだか
Guess I overdid it a little

Page 08
Rintarou:!!
!!

Rintarou:(これは――――)
(That was------)
Rintarou:フフ・・思った以上に手強く育ったヨウダ・・・・
Heheh..it seems you’ve grown more formidable than I thought....

Yumeji:・・・・い 今の斬撃
....Th-That attack
Yumeji:攻撃の開始をほとんど感じとれなかった・・・・
I was almost unable to perceive the start of that attack....

Iori:・・・・フン ちったぁ腕を上げたみてーだな・・・・
....Hmm, looks like you’ve gotten a little stronger....

Page 09
Zen:今のが修行の成果だよ
That right there is the result of our training
Yumeji:え!?
Huh!?

Zen:夢路 オメェはあの夜 気配とは何かを理解し
Yumeji, on that night you told us to figure out what signs were
Zen:気配が何故現れるのか知れと言っただろ?
And to learn what causes it to show up, didn’t you?

Zen:気配ってのはつまり攻撃のための予備動作や重心の移動さらには視線や音
“Signs” refer to the preparatory movements, shifts in center of gravity, glances, and sounds that go into making an attack
Zen:そんなモンから発せられる
That kinda stuff is what cause them to be given off
Author’s note:簡単な例を挙げるとパンチの前の腕「引く動作」で次にパンチが来ることが読める
A simple example: you can tell a punch is coming by the pulling-back motion of the arm prior to the punch

Zen:オメェの話を聞いて麟太郎からそれをほとんど感じないことに気付いた・・・・
After hearing what you had to say, we realized that we didn’t sense any of that stuff from Rintarou....

Zen:達人であればあるほど気配を抑えるのが上手い
The greater your level of mastery, the better you are at suppressing your signs
Zen:当然だ 次の攻撃をいかに読むかが勝敗を決めるんだからな!
It’s only natural since the match is determined by how well you can read attacks!

Page 10
Zen:だから俺達は気配を感じる方法を掴み・・・・
So we learned how to sense signs....
Zen:同時に自らの気配を消す方法を探った
And at the same time, found ways to erase traces of our own signs

Yumeji:――――――気配を消す!?
--------Erase traces of your signs!?
Yumeji:ア・・アンタ達そこまでできるように!?
Y-you guys made it that far!?

Zen:・・・・え!? た 多分・・・・
....Huh!? M-Maybe....
Yumeji:・・・・・・・・
........

Zen:あのバカが考えた鍛錬法は単純なもんだ 一人が攻めにもう一人が防御に徹して
The method that dumbass came up with for training was simple: one person focuses only on offense, the other only on defense
Zen:一日ごとに攻守を切り替えながら一本取ることを目指し続けた――――
We’d switch roles every day, continuously trying to score a blow------

Zen:攻撃をせず守備に徹する相手から一本取るってのは
We did this because scoring a blow on a person who’s concentrating solely on defense and not attacking
Zen:気配でも消さなきゃほとんど不可能だからな・・・・
Is almost impossible without eliminating your signs....

Zen:・・・・だが
....But

Page 11
Zen:俺達は辿りついた!!
We finally did it!!

Gama:くっ
Kuh
Gama:まだ甘いか!
Still not good enough!?

Rintarou:――くっ!
----Kuh!

Rintarou:(何という子だ・・・・)
(What an amazing kid....)

Rintarou:(ほとんど攻撃から気配が出てない・・・・)
(There’re almost no signs in his attacks....)
Rintarou:(攻撃の気配を消すのは次の課題のつもりデシタが・・・・)
(I was intending for erasing signs to be the next task....)

Rintarou:(先にこなしてしまうとは――)
(To think that he’s mastered it already----)

Gama:!
!

Rintarou:(しかし・・・・)
(So....)

Page 12
Rintarou:(ならば少々・・・・)
(In that case....)

Rintarou:(コチラも)
(I, too)
Rintarou:(本領を発揮させてもらいまショウ)
(Shall display some of my unique prowess)

Iori:フン あのオヤジ
Hmm, that old man
Iori:熱くなってやがる
Is starting to get fired up

Page 13
Iori:(来るぞ 我間・・・・)
(Here it comes, Gama....)

Iori:(あの時 お前がまるで反応できなかったあの一撃――――)
(It’s the attack that you were completely unable to react to------)

Iori:(下手すりゃ死ぬぞ――――)
(One wrong move and you’re dead------)

Iori:(ここが勝負だ――――――)
(This’ll decide the match---------)

Page 14
Rintarou:(捉えた!!)
(I’ve got you!!)

Page 15
Rintarou:(――――――!?)
(--------!?)

Page 16
Rintarou:(バカな!?かわされたダト!?)
(Absurd!! He evaded it!?)
Rintarou:(私の気配と間合いを完璧に見切ったのか!?)
(Did he perceive my signs and distance so perfectly!?)

Gama:(余計な力みを消せ――)
(Eliminate excess strain----)

Gama:(意識を一ヵ所に捉われることなく全身へ――――)
(Don’t let your consciousness get stuck in one part of your body: expand it throughout------)

Gama:(自由自在に――――)
(Completely------)

Gama:(精密に――――)
(Precisely)

Page 17
Gama:(己の身体を操作しろ!!)
(Manipulate your body!!)

Rintarou:(くっ防御を!)
(Kuh, my defenses!)

Gama:遅い
Too slow

Page 18 + Page 19
Rintarou:・・・・な!?
....Wha!?

Page 20
Iori:・・・・・・
......
Iori:見事だ
Superb

Gama:やったぁぁぁぁ!!一本取ったぞぉぉ――――!!
Ohhhhh yeaaaahhh!! I scored a blooooow!!

Rintarou:・・・・・・
......

Rintarou:(まさか本当ニたったの七十六日しかも一人で私から一本取るトハ・・・・)
(Incredible, to think that he really scored a blow against me in a mere 76 days, and by himself, at that....)

Rintarou:(伊織と真殿以来ダ・・・・)
(This hasn’t happened since Iori and Shin-dono...)

Page 21
Rintarou:(しかも我間クンの最後の一撃)
(And that last attack of his)
Rintarou:(あれは単に気配を消しただけの一撃ではなかった――――)
(There was more to that attack than just the absence of signs------)

Rintarou:(・・・・スバラシイ)
(....You are an amazing)
Rintarou:(そして恐ろしい子デース・・・・)
(And terrifying child....)

Rintarou:(黒鉄我間!!)
(Kurogane Gama!!)

Narration:ちなみに 善丸結局我間から二日ほど遅れて一本を取った
Incidentally, Zenmaru ended up scoring a blow a full two days after Gama did

Gama:・・・・ボロボロだな
....You’re all beat to hell
Zen:うるせえ
Shaddup
White insert text:51号は作者取材のため休載いたします。52号からの再開にご期待ください!!

Sidetext:試練を乗り越えた我間。このまま修行は終わるのか――――!?

I'm hoping to have this week's chapter up today or tomorrow.

Also, after finally learning what the author means by the term I have translated as "presence", I'm considering retconning it to a different word, but am not sure what that word would be. If I do decide to retcon in the future, I will make a note under my most recent translation about it. The problem is coming up with a single term that can be used with verbs like "see", "feel", "sense", "perceive", and carry a sense of vagueness and mystery that makes it non-obvious to the uninitiated.

Thanks for reading, and for your patience. Hopefully we'll be all caught up soon.

First, thanks for the translation.

Second, my first understanding of the term and the pictures made me think that something like "aura" or "air" could work well. The first might be overused, though it might fit. "Air" is rarely used in this sense, but that might be a result of its tendency to confuse some readers. But, if the word relates more to timing an opponent's actions, then the ability/perception is something more akin to Sherlock Holmes ability to notice and concurrently analyze small discrepancies in situations and react accordingly. In that case, and to keep the mystery you want to retain, presence might be replaced with a conjured connotation to a familiar word, like "tense." You could use it to explain noticing the muscle firings in the moment immediately prior to a person acting. It could also be used in agreement with a true definition related to timing. Thus, you get a combination of "What's noticing tense mean?" and the realization of "Oh, he's referring to timing and perceiving the body movements that are imperceptible to most everyone."

Maybe that helps. Maybe not.

Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
