Senka：・・あー　でもよかったわぁ
..Yeah, but what a relief

Senka：あの二人が取り返しのつかない怪我をする前に終わってくれて！
I’m glad that ended before those two received any permanent injuries!
Masato：あ・・姐さん　あの二人の決闘と今晩のオカズのキノコを発見したの　俺達なんだけど
Yeah..But you know Senka, we were the ones who discovered their duel and the mushrooms for tonight’s dinner
Senka：あっ　そう
Oh, yeah

Mika：でも　何で急にあの二人決闘なんか・・・・
But why did they decide to have a duel all of the sudden….?
Mika：もしかして　当主の座以外にも何か奪い合ったんじゃ・・・・
Could there have been something else they were trying to take from one another….?
Senka：！
!

Mika：例えば私とか・・・・
Such as myself, for instance….
Senka：！？
!?

Senka：ア　アンタ　真顔でチョーシこいてんじゃないわよ！自分をめぐって決闘って・・・・
D-Don’t you go getting all carried away with a straight face! To think that they’d be dueling over you….
Mika：あーら千花さん　私は伊織に「いい女」って言われてるのよ！？当然の考えだわ
Oh my Senka-san, didn’t you know that Iori said I’ve become “quite a woman”!? It’s only natural to think they were dueling over me
Senka：あ　あんなの社交辞令よ！絶対！！
H-He was just being polite! No doubt about it!!
Yumeji：夢路姉さん・・
Sis..*
*TRANSLATOR’S NOTE: Yumeji actually says “Yumeji-neesan (big sis Yumeji), but I can’t for the life of me think why she’d say her own name given the situation. After much debate, I think the author meant to write “Mika” (the name of her older sister) but made a mistake, so I’ve just translated it as “sis”. If you’d like to keep the original, that’s fine, but please include a note saying as much.
Zen：ウルセーな・・・・
Man, put a sock in it already….

Page 04
Mika：ホーホッホッホ　見苦しいわね千花さん　アナタ本当に悔しいんでしょう！？
Hohohoho, how unbecoming of you Senka-san. You’re really frustrated by this, aren’t you!?
Senka：く　く　悔しくなんてないもん！私の方がカワイイもん！
I-I-I’m not frustrated at all! ‘Cause I’m prettier than you!

Gama：・・・・・・・・
……..

Gama：・・・・何かしっくりこねーな・・・・
….Something’s not right….

Yumeji：！　我間！？
! Gama!?

Zen：あ？
Huh?

Gama：・・・・俺には伊織が大亀流の当主にそれほど興味があったとは思えない・・・・
….It never seemed to me like Iori had that much interest in becoming leader of the Ogame school….
Gama：それなのに何であんな決闘なんか・・・・
So why would he get into a duel like that….?

Yumeji：え？
Huh?

Gama：・・・・・・・
……..

Page 05
Gama：（まさか・・・・）
(Could it be….)
Gama：（伊織の奴―――――）
(That Iori is-------)

Iori：・・・・・・・・
……..

Page 06
Iori：俺は当主になる気はねーぞ
I don’t have any intention of becoming leader

Everyone：！？
!?

Iori：・・・・じじぃ・・
….Old man..
Iori：まぁ　アンタがどちらを選ぶ気かは知らねーが
I don’t know who you were gonna choose

Iori：当主にゃ真ノ丞（しん）が相応しい
But Shin’ll make a good leader
Shin：・・・・！
….!

Page 07
Rintarou：伊織・・！
Iori...!

Sensei：何じゃと・・・・？
What….?

Shin：・・・・・・
……

Shin：伊織・・貴様・・・・
Iori..you bastard….
Shin：どういうつもりだ
What’re you up to?

Iori：・・・・フン
….Hmph
Iori：どうもこうもねぇさ
I’m not up to anything

Iori：オメェと本気でぶつかってみてそれがいいと感じた
I just felt like it’d be nice to really go at it with you
Iori：それだけだ
That’s all

Shin：何？
What?

Page 08
Iori：真ノ丞（しん）オメェなら
Shin, you’re capable
Iori：大亀流を背負っていける
Of carrying the Ogame school forward

Iori：・・・・そもそも五年前のあの時に何も出来なかった俺に
….I couldn’t do a damn thing five years ago
Iori：当主になる資格はねえ！
So I was never qualified to be leader in the first place!

Sensei：伊織
Iori
Sensei：じゃがお主は・・・・
But you-

Page 09
Shin：ふざけるな！！
Oh cut the crap already!!
Shin：さっきの勝負で俺は貴様に押されていた・・・・
You were bearing down on me during our match….
Shin：当主の座を譲られる覚えはない！！
I have no recollection of you conceding leadership to me!!
Iori：あ？
Huh?
Iori：何でぇ オメェは俺を当主にしたくねぇんじゃねーのかよ
The hell? I thought you didn’t want to make me the leader

Shin：当然だ！
Of course I don’t!
Shin：俺は貴様を越えた上で当主となる！
I’ll become the leader upon surpassing you!

Iori：オイオイ　それじゃ
Oh, all right
Iori：オメェが勝つまで当主決まんねーぞ　勝つまでやる気かよ？
So you’re not gonna become the leader until you win, is that your plan? To go at it until you win?
Shin：その通りだ！！
Exactly!!

Sensei：・・・・・・
……
Sensei：（何じゃこの流れは・・・・）
(Where is this conversation going….?)

Iori：・・・・ったく
….I swear
Iori：どんだけワガママな野郎なんだテメェは
You’re such a selfish little prick

Shin：フン！貴様に言われたくはないな・・・・
Hmph! I don’t want to hear that coming from you….
Iori：ハ！
Ha!
Iori：俺は素直なだけだ　アホが！
I’m just being honest, you dumbass!

Iori：とにかくだ・・・・
In any event….
Iori：俺には当主は務まらねえ・・・・
I’m not gonna take the job….

Page 10
Iori：真ノ丞　オメェが当主になれや！！納得いくまで強くなってよ！！
Shin, be the leader!! And become as strong as you want to be!!

Shin：ムゥ・・・・
Yeah….

Iori：じじぃ　そーゆーことで文句ねーな？どーせ迷ってたんだろーしよ
You’re happy with this, right old man? You were probably having a hard time deciding anyway
Sensei：・・・・フン　バカタレが
….Hmph, you damned fool

Sensei：やる気のない貴様を当主にするつもりなどそもそもないわ・・
I never had any intention of making an unambitious bastard such as yourself the leader..
Sensei：（確かに本当は迷っとったけど・・・・）
(But truthfully, I was indeed having a hard time deciding…)

Sensei：当主は真ノ丞で決まりじゃ！！
Shinnojou is the new leader!!
Shin：んな！？
Wha!?

Page 11
Shin：バカな！私はまだ当主になる気は――――
Ridiculous! I’m not ready to become the lea------
Sensei：問答無用じゃ！！
No more discussion!!
Iori：・・・・・・
……

Iori：フ・・・・・・
Heh……

Iori：・・じゃあ決まったんなら俺は行くぜ
..Well, if that’s settled, then I’m gonna take off
Sensei & Shin：！？
!?

Rintarou：どこへ行く気デスカ伊織・・・・
Where are you going, Iori….?
Iori：・・・・・・・・
……..

Iori：ちょっとな・・・・
I have….
Iori：個人的な用があってよ・・
Some personal business to take care of...
Iori：我間達のことはよろしく頼むぜ・・・・
Take good care of Gama and the others….

Shin：個人的な？何だそれは・・・
Personal business? What the hell are you talking about….?

Iori：・・・・・・・・
……..

Iori：なぁ　真ノ丞
Hey, Shin

Page 12
Iori：大亀流は任せたぜ
The Ogame school’s in your hands now

Page 13
Gama：どこ行くんだよ 伊織・・・・
Where are you going, Iori….?

Iori：・・・・・・・・
……..
Iori：よう
Yo

Iori：我間―――――
Gama-------

Gama：伊織 お前・・・・
Iori….

Gama：まさか陣介（親父）に会いに行くつもりなんじゃ―――
You’re not planning on going to see my dad, are you------?

Page 14
Sensei：真ノ丞・・・・
Shinnojou….
Shin：！
!

Sensei：・・お主に一つ伝えなければならぬことがある　五年前の事件のことでな・・・・
..There is something I must tell you. It’s about the incident five years ago….
Shin：・・・・！
….!
Shin：五年前の・・・・？
The incident….?

Sensei：うむ・・
Yes..
Sensei：やはりお前も知っていた方がよかろう・・
It would probably be better for you to know after all..

Sensei：五年前のあの日・・・・
On that day five years ago….
Sensei：伊織は何もしていなかったわけではない―――
Iori did not stand by and do nothing-----
Shin：・・・・・・
……

Page 15
Sensei：これはワシと
This is something
Sensei：伊織から直接剣を習っていた我間しか知らんことじゃ
That only myself and Gama, who was learning swordsmanship under Iori, know

Sensei：あの日
On that day
Sensei：伊織の奴はあの戦いの直前・・・・
In order to stop Jinsuke….

Sensei：陣介を止めるために一対一の戦いを挑みそして・・・・
Iori challenged him to single combat right before the battle….
Sensei：敗れたのじゃ―――――
And was defeated-------

Shin：・・・・！
….!
Shin：（伊織が陣介さんに負けた！？）
(Iori lost to Jin-san!?)

Shin：初耳だ・・・・
That’s the first time….
Shin：そんな話は・・・・
I’ve heard anything like this….

Sensei：お主が知らぬのは当然じゃ
It’s only natural that you didn’t know
Sensei：ワシも奴に固く口止めされておったからのう
Iori strictly forbade me to speak of it

Page 16
Sensei：あやつは自尊心が強い男じゃ
He has a great deal of pride
Sensei：陣介に敗れしかもおめおめと生かされた自分が許せぬのじゃろう・・・・
He probably can’t forgive himself for not only losing to Jinsuke, but being allowed to live on in disgrace….

Sensei：あの日のことを誰よりも悔いておるのは
He….Iori… is probably the person
Sensei：伊織・・・・あいつかもしれん・・・・
Who suffers most from the events of that day….

Iori：・・・・俺が陣介さんに？
….Me? Go to see Jin-san?
Iori：フン・・・・何の話だ・・・・？
Hmph….what’re you talking about….?

Page 17
Gama：とぼけんなよアナタ　また親父と戦う気なんじゃ・・・・
Don’t play dumb with me, you plan on fighting dad again….
Gama：あの時の借りを返すためにたった一人でさ！
By yourself, in order to pay him back for back then!

Iori：フ・・・・お前は騙せねーか・・・・
Heh….guess there’s no deceiving you….
Iori：確かに俺は海原城に行く
I am indeed headed to Unabara Castle

Iori：だが　何もいきなり陣さんと戦おうってわけじゃねぇ・・・・
But, it’s not like I’m just gonna suddenly fight Jin-san….
Iori：あの人にゃ言っとかなきゃなんねーことがあってな
There’s something I gotta tell him
Iori：そもそも今のあの人は多勢が守る城のど真ん中・・・・簡単にゃ戦えねーよ
Besides, right now he’s deep in the castle and guarded by tons of people….I can’t just waltz in there and fight him

Gama：だったら俺も行く！いくらアンタでも一人で城に乗り込むなんて―――
Then I’m going too! Even you can’t hope to break into the castle by yourse-----

Iori：馬鹿言ってんじゃねー
Don’t be stupid
Iori：俺は死なねーよ
I ain’t gonna die

Iori：いいか　我間　お前にゃ今“強くなる”って仕事があるはずだ
Listen, Gama, your job right now should be to get stronger
Iori：お前ならここで修行すりゃ飛躍的に強くなれる
If you train here then you can get real strong, real fast

Iori：我間よ・・・・
Gama….

Page 18
Iori：俺や陣介さんを超えてみせな
Rise above me and Jin-san

Iori：斬り合いの中でしか生きられねぇ剣士に正義があるとすりゃあ
If there was any just cause for a swordsman who can’t exist outside of a deathmatch

Page 19
Iori：それは強さだけだ
Then it’d be strength

Iori：俺のことなんざ振り向くんじゃねぇ・・・・
Don’t look back at me….

Iori：ただ誰よりも強くなれ―――
Just become stronger than everyone----

Iori：それが・・
That..
Iori：オメエの剣師としての　俺の最後の教えだよ
Is my final teaching as your sword instructor

Gama：（伊織――――）
(Iori------)

Page 20
White insert text：伊織が貫く剣士の美学に別れの言葉は必要なし！！
Iori’s piercing swordsman aesthetics require no words of farewell!!

Text at bottom：次号！修行再開！我間に新たなる試練が突きつけられる！！！
Next issue! The training resumes! A new trial is thrust upon Gama!!!
