Black insert text below logo：見事　試練を突破！だが、そのままで終わるのか！？
They overcome the trial in a masterful fashion! But does their training end there!?
Zen：やったぁ―――――！！ついに俺様も一本取ったぞぉ―――！！
I diiiiid iiiiit!! I finally scored a blooooow!!
Gama：ボロボロだけどな・・
Yeah, but you’re all beat up..

Rintarou：（・・・・フフ驚きマシタ）
(.....Heheh, that was a surprise)
Rintarou：（二人ともこのわずかな期間にこれほど腕を上げるトハ・・・・）
(To think that both of them became that much more skilled in such a short time....)

Rintarou：・・・・・・
......
Rintarou：（この子達ならば“彼”に合わせてもきっと帰ってこられる）
(They could probably cross blades with “him” and make it back)

Rintarou：川崎君に下田君―――
Kawasaki-kun, Shimoda-kun-----
Kawasaki & Shimoda：はっ！
Yes sir!

Page 02
Rintarou：可士太郎に準備をするように伝えてくだサイ
Please tell Kashitarou to get ready

Shimoda(?)：！
!

Rintarou：二名ほどが戎簾山での修行に入りマス
There will be two people training on Juuren Mountain

Box：あらすじ　隠れ里“戎簾の里”を訪れた我間ら大亀流。そこで我間と善丸は、「里の番人・麟太郎から一本取る」という課題を与えられる。二人は七十六日に渡って鍛錬に励み、見事、試練を突破した！
Summary: Gama and the Ogame school visit the hidden Juuren Village. There they are tasked with scoring a blow on the village’s guardian, Rintarou. They trained hard, and on the 76th day, masterfully overcame the trial!

Page 03
Iori：ホゥ　見かけねーと思ったら戎簾山は可士太郎に任せたのか
Ho, I was just thinking I hadn’t seen Kashitarou. So you put him in charge of Juuren Mountain, huh?
Iori：確かにアイツの武術好きは相当なもんだったが・・
He really loves martial arts, that’s for sure..
Rintarou：フフ・・・・伊織・・・・
Heheh....Iori....

Rintarou：親の私が言うのもなんデスガ
Being his father, I don’t want to brag
Rintarou：スゲーですヨ
But he’s incredible

Rintarou：ハッキリ言ってたぶん彼は武術の天才デース
Put simply, he’s probably a martial arts genius
Rintarou：指導者としてもたぶんスゴい・・たぶんネ・・・・
He would probably make an incredible teacher, too..probably....

Iori：・・・・たぶんが多いな
....That’s a lot of probablies
Rintarou：え？そうですカ？
Huh? Oh, really?

Page 04
Rintarou：ナーニ！性格に大問題ガある以外は平気デース！！
Whaat!? Enormous personality defect aside, he’s fiiine!!
Gama：ム？大問題？
Hm? Enormous defect?

Rintarou：・・・・まぁトモカク可士太郎の準備が出来るまでは
....Well, in any event you two don’t have to worry
Rintarou：私が稽古をつけますノデ心配しないでくだサーイ
I’ll continue to train you until Kashitarou is ready

Rintarou：それよりも
But more importantly
Rintarou：伊織・・・・
Iori....

Rintarou：君もソロソロ見物や鍛錬以外にやることがあるのデハ？
Isn’t there something you should be doing right now other than observing and training?

Iori：・・・・フン・・・・
....Hmm....
Iori：だったらしっかりアイツら強くしろよ　麟サン・・・・
Alright, then you make sure they get stronger, Rin-san....

Page 05
Iori：アイツらの望みが叶うくれーにな・・
Strong enough to fulfill their desires...

Naoyoshi：（我間は・・・・大亀流は今無事でやっているだろうか・・）
(I wonder if Gama....if the Ogame school is getting along well right now..?)
Naoyoshi：（道場はもぬけの殻だったと聞いたが・・・・）
(I heard that the dojo was completely empty....)

Ranmaru：直善様　夜も更けております　そろそろお休みになられた方がよろしいかと
Naoyoshi-sama, it is getting late. Do you not think it would be best for you to get some rest?

Page 06
Ranmaru：近く　藩主の座に就かれる御身・・・・
Soon you will take up the position of daimyo....
Ranmaru：今　お身体を壊されては困ります
It would be troublesome if you were to ruin your health now

Naoyoshi：・・・・俺は困らんよ
....It wouldn’t be troublesome for me
Naoyoshi：俺が就く藩主の座など　名ばかりのものだろう
I’ll most likely be daimyo in name only

Naoyoshi：・・・・しかし　まさか直接我間と戦ったお前にこの身を案じられるとはな・・
....But I never imagined that one such as yourself who fought with Gama directly would be concerned about my health..
Ranmaru：・・・・・・・・
........

Ranmaru：今は直善様をお守りすることが私の役目
My duty now is to protect you, Naoyoshi-sama
Ranmaru：それ以前に何があったとしても関係ありませぬ・・・・
Whatever has happened in the past is no longer of any consequence....

Naoyoshi：・・・・フン
....Hmph

Naoyoshi：好きにしろ
Do as you please

Ranmaru：・・・・・・・・
........

Page 07
Ranmaru：直善様はこの海原の藩主に就くことに
Are you still uncertain
Ranmaru：未だに心が定まらぬのですか？
About taking up the position of daimyo of Unabara?

Naoyoshi：！
!

Naoyoshi：・・・・当然だろ
....Of course I am

Naoyoshi：俺が藩主に就けば陣介に従うことになり
If I become daimyo, then I’ll have to obey Jinsuke
Naoyoshi：この藩もどうなるかわからん上に
And in addition to not knowing what will become of this fiefdom
Naoyoshi：我間達の敵側につくことになってしまう！
I’ll become an enemy to Gama and the Ogame school!

Ranmaru：・・・・・・・・
........
Ranmaru：しかし・・・・
But....

Ranmaru：それは　アナタのお母上が長きに渡って望んだことなのでは？
Is it not what your mother has desired for so long?
Naoyoshi：（―――――！！）
(-------!!)

Page 08
Ranmaru：・・・・もし私がアナタの立場であればたとえ友と敵対しようとも
....If I were in your position, I would fulfill the wishes of the person with whom I had the strongest bond
Ranmaru：一番の絆で繋がっている相手の望みを叶える
Even if it meant being on the side opposite my comrades

Ranmaru：・・・・何も迷うことなどないと思いますが・・・・
....I do not think there is anything worth hesitating over....

Naoyoshi：な・・何？
Wh-what?

Ranmaru：私もかつてある方のために
Long ago, I, too, made the decision
Ranmaru：命を捧げて生きると決めました
To devote my life to someone

Page 09
Ranmaru：何故ならその方は私に剣術と“生きる価値”を与えて下さった
I did so because that person taught me swordsmanship and gave “meaning” to my life
Naoyoshi：！
!

Naoyoshi：・・・・それは黒鉄・・陣介か・・・・
....You mean Kurogane..Jinsuke....?

Ranmaru：・・・・アナタも長年の間母上様と共に苦しみを乗り越え　戦い生きてきたと聞きました
....I have heard that you and your mother have also fought and overcome many years of suffering together
Ranmaru：ならば　後はアナタの覚悟が足りていないだけ・・・・
If that is true, then you lack only resolve....

Ranmaru：アナタが何より大切にすべきモノはこの世に一つしかないはずでは？
There is only one thing in this world that you should value above all else, is there not?

Page 10
Sensei：・・・・完成じゃ
....It is done

Page 11
Sensei：・・・・・・・・・・・・
............

Sensei：まさかワシの手から
I never thought
Sensei：この“五感の伝書”を二度渡すことになるとはのう・・・・
That I would end up passing on these “Hidden Scrolls of the 5 Senses” a second time....

Sensei：・・・・・・・・・・
..........
Sensei：全てはワシのせいじゃ・・・・
I am to blame for all of this....

Sensei：（かつて大亀流当主の座を争った　二名の天才）
(Long ago, there were two geniuses competing for the leadership of the Ogame school)

Page 12
Sensei：（黒鉄陣介に）
(Kurogane Jinsuke)

Sensei：（妙画鉄斎）
(And Myouga Tessai)

Sensei：（ワシは多少の危うさを感じながらもわずかに腕の勝る陣介に大亀流を任せた・・・・）
(Although I felt some apprehension, I entrusted the Ogame school to the slightly more skilled Jinsuke....)

Sensei：（・・・・だがその結果　剣と大亀流の力を用いて）
(....But as a result, the school was divided between Jinsuke, who would use the sword and the power of the Ogame school)
Sensei：（“剣以上のモノ”を手に入れようとする陣介と）
(To try and obtain something “greater than the sword”)

Sensei：（流派を守ることを第一に考えた鉄斎とに）
(And Tessai, who prioritized the protection of the school)

Page 13
Sensei：（大亀流は真っ二つに割れあの悲劇が起こった――）
(And thus that tragedy occurred----)

Sensei：しかし・・・・
However...

Sensei：（あれから五年その陣介が再び海原に姿を現し）
(Five years have passed since then and Jinsuke has once again appeared in Unabara)
Sensei：（我々は二人の高弟を連れ　この里へとやってくることになった・・・・）
(And we have brought two elite students to this village....)

Sensei：（今こそ　空座となった大亀流当主を決める時――――）
(Now is the time to decide who will fill the position of leader of the Ogame school------)

Iori：ホー見事な技のキレだな　真
Ho, that’s some impressive finesse your techniques have, Shin

Shin：・・・・来たか
....You came

Iori：しばらく　見ねーうちにまた腕が上がったんじゃねーか？
You’ve gotten even better in the time I haven’t seen you, haven’t you?

Iori：不安定な岩の上にある小石を斬るなんざ
Cutting a small stone on top of an unstable rock
Iori：相当な斬撃の速度とわずかなブレもなく刃筋を通す剣技が必要だぜ？
Requires that the stroke of your blade is perfectly steady and extremely quick, right?

Shin：・・・・どうやら我間達の修行は一段落ついたようだな・・・・
....It seems that Gama and Zenmaru have passed the first stage of their training....

Iori：・・・・ハッ
....Hah
Iori：相変わらずノリの悪い野郎だ
Same serious bastard as always, I see

Iori：で？
Well?

Page 17
Iori：今日は　この俺を呼び出して何の用だ？
Why’d you call me out here today?

Shin：とぼけるな
Don’t play dumb
Shin：俺の思いはわかっているはずだ
I believe you’re aware of my thoughts

Iori：・・・・フ・・
....Heh..
Iori：やっぱ　やるってことか・・・・
So, we’re really gonna do it then....?

Shin：・・・・・・その通りだ
......Absolutely

Page 18 + Page 19
Shin：俺とお前どっちが当主になるべきか
We will decide right here
Shin：この場で決める！！
Who should become the leader of the Ogame school

Page 20
Shin：・・・・悪いが勝つのは俺だ
....Sorry, but I’m going to win
Shin：貴様は当主に相応しくない
You aren’t suited to be the leader

Iori：フン
Hmph
Iori：オメェがそう思ってることくれぇ　五年前から知ってるよ
I’ve known for five years now that you felt that way

Iori：・・・・しかしワクワクすんのも事実だな
....But I can’t deny that I’m excited

Iori：俺とオメェが本気でやりゃあ死闘になるぜ？真ノ丞
This’ll turn into a death match if we go all out, won’t it Shinnojou?
