Ango：ワッハッハ！一年後に大亀流と無宝流の全面戦争だと？
Wahaha! An all-out war between the Ogame and Muhou Schools in a year?
Ango：戯言を抜かすな！
Don’t give me that bullshit!
Ango：仲間にならぬのなら今　殺すのみだ！
If you’re not gonna join us then I’ll just kill you now!

Iori：戯言なんざ言っちゃいねぇよ
I’m not giving you any bullshit
Iori：今やる気ならそれでも構わねぇ
But if you feel like doing it now then that’s fine too
Iori：城（ここ）へ乗り込んだ時点で死ぬ覚悟くれぇ出来てるからな
‘Cause I’ve been prepared to die from the moment I busted into this castle

Box：あらすじ　無宝流の本拠地に単身乗り込んだ伊織は、約四十人の敵兵を倒して陣介の下に到達する。そこで伊織が持ちかけたのは、何と「一年間の休戦」。そして、突然の提案に納得できない無宝流の参謀・安吾が、伊織に戦いを挑んだ！！
Summary: Iori reaches Jinsuke after single-handedly breaking into the Muhou School’s HQ and defeating around 40 soldiers. There he proposes a bold 1 year armistice. Unable to swallow this sudden proposal, Ango, one of the Muhou School’s advisors, challenges Iori to combat!!

Iori：・・・・だが
….But
Iori：この俺が命を張るんだ
I’m putting my life on the line here

Page 02 + Page 03
Iori：ここにいるテメーらの半分は
So I’m gonna drag half of you assholes
Iori：地獄まで道連れにすんぞ
To hell with me
Insert text：強敵に囲まれても動じない、伊織の覚悟と使命感！！

Chapter 84
Nakamaru Yosuke

Iori：言っとくがしぶといぜ俺はよぉ・・・・
Just to let you all know, I don’t go down easy….

Ango：・・おい
..Hey
Ango：“竜桐”を持って来い
Go get “Tatsugiri”*
MARGIN NOTE: *Dragon Empress Tree. The leaves of the Empress Tree have very long stems, similar to his weapon.
Muhou Goon：ハッ！
Yes sir!
Muhou Goon：すぐに持って参ります
I will return with it at once

Page 04
Ango：笑えるな千石伊織・・・・
You’re pretty funny, Sengoku Iori….
Iori：あ？
Huh?

Ango：俺達の半分を道連れってのは大したハッタリだ・・・・
That whole “take half of us with you” thing was quite a bluff….

Ango：だが　貴様などはこの久龍安吾一人で十分だ
However, I, Kuryuu Ango, will be enough for a bastard like you

Page 05
Ango：・・それに　先程から貴様の動きにやや不自然さを感じるぜ
..Plus, I’ve been feeling a slight strain in your movements for a while now
Ango：隠しちゃいるが左腕と首あたりの動きが制限されている・・・・
You’re hiding it, but your left arm and neck have limited movement….

Ango：さては　ここに来るまでに手傷を負ったな
I’m assuming you got wounded before you made it here
Iori：・・！？
..!?

Ango：おそらく
Your chest, perhaps-----

Ango：胸元だ―――しかも浅くはない―――
And it’s deep, too-----
Iori：！
!

Iori：（・・・・ち・・）
(….Tch..)
Iori：（バレてやがる・・）
(The jig’s up..)

Ango：・・・・まぁ
….But

Ango：知ったこっちゃねーけどよ
I don’t give a shit about that

Page 06
Iori：（この野郎・・・・一見しただけで俺の状態を正確に見抜きやがった―――――――強い！）
(This son of a bitch….he accurately figured out my condition with just a glance---------he’s good!)
Iori：（それに奴の得物ありや長巻か・・・・・・）
(And his weapon of choice is a nagamaki……?)
Iori：（俺も戦ったことのねぇ武器だが・・・・）
(I’ve never fought against one of those….)

Ango：（・・なるほど　これが千石伊織か　確かにケタ外れの圧力だ・・・・）
(..I see, so this is Sengoku Iori? He’s definitely got a massively overwhelming presence….)
Ango：（多少傷は負っていても捨て身でくる・・・・油断は出来んな）
(He’s injured to some extent but he’s going to come at me with reckless abandon….I can’t let my guard down)

Iori：（俺の全てを出す！！）
(I’m gonna give it everything I’ve got!!)

Ango：（勝つのは俺だ！）
(I will be victorious!)

Page 07
Ranmaru：・・・・・・・・
……..

Ranmaru：（千石伊織か　何というバケモノだ・・・・）
(Sengoku Iori, huh? What a monster….)

Ranmaru：（奴はたった一人でこの城へ乗り込み四十以上の兵を倒して本丸まで辿り着いた）
(He single-handedly fought his way into the castle, defeated over 40 soldiers, and made it all the way to the inner keep)
Ranmaru：（なのに　この状況でもまるで闘気が衰えないとは―――）
(And incredibly, his fighting spirit hasn’t waned in the slightest, not even with his current state-----)

Ranmaru：（やはり奴は陣介様にとって危険だ）
(He truly is a threat to Jinsuke-sama)
Ranmaru：（ここで確実に仕留めておかねば）
(We must make certain to bring him down here)

Jinsuke：・・・・・・
……
Jinsuke：フン・・・・
Hmm….

Page 08
Both：（勝負！！）
(It’s on!!)

Ango：（一瞬で決める！）
(I’ll finish this in a second!)

Iori：（全てをこの一撃に―――）
(I’m gonna put everything I’ve got into this attack-----)

Page 09
Ango：！
!

Iori：―――！！？
-----!!?

Jinsuke：・・・・
….
Jinsuke：素晴らしいぜ・・・・伊織
That was superb….Iori

Page 10 + Page 11
Jinsuke：技の速さ　威力　完成度・・そして何より一撃に込める魂
The speed, power, and level of perfection of your technique..and most importantly the soul you put into it
Jinsuke：その全てにおいて五年前よりはらかに成長している
They are all far more developed than they were five years ago

Iori：（後方からの攻撃を素手でいなしつつ短刀一本で俺の一撃を・・・・）
(He blocked my attack with a single tantou* while fending off a blow from behind with his bare hands….)
MARGIN NOTE: *Japanese short sword

Iori：（・・・・やはり　この人の強さは底知れねぇ！！）
(….His strength is truly unimaginable!!)

Jinsuke：・・・・クク不思議だ・・
….Heheh, it’s strange..
Jinsuke：お前の剣はいつも俺の心を揺さぶってくる
Your sword always stirs my heart
Jinsuke：やはりお前は特別な剣士だ（オトコ）
You are truly a special swordsman

Page 12
Jinsuke：伊織よ
Iori
Jinsuke：一年でお前らはどこまで俺に近づける？
How close can you all get to me in one year?

Iori：・・・・フン
….Heh
Iori：さっき言ったろ
I told you before
Iori：俺達の剣でアンタを否定してみせるとな・・・・
We’re gonna deny you with our swords….

Jinsuke：・・・・クク
….Heheh

Jinsuke：ちっぽけな一流派の剣で俺を否定できる・・・・か
Can the swords of one tiny school really deny me….?

Jinsuke：面白い・・・・・・
How amusing……

Jinsuke：それを言うためだけに命を懸けて単身城を乗り込んできた弟子の頼みだ―――
A request, made by a student who risked his life breaking in here all alone just to say it-----

Page 13
Jinsuke：出来るものならやってみろ
Do it if you can
Jinsuke：一年後　俺が貴様等の剣を受けてやる！！
In one year, I will receive your swords!!

Ango：・・私は納得出来ませんな　陣介様
..I cannot accept that, Jinsuke-sama

Ango：伊織（ヤツ）は他の者には譲れませぬ
I can’t let anyone else have him

Jinsuke：・・・・安吾よ
….Ango
Jinsuke：最初に言ったが今日の伊織は俺の客だ
I said it at the beginning, Iori is my guest today
Jinsuke：ここでの戦いはこれ以上は許さねぇ
I won’t permit any further fighting here

Jinsuke：・・だが一年後は別だ　お前の部隊に対大亀流の先鋒を任せてやる
..But a year from now is a different story. I’ll put your squad in charge of spearheading the attack against the Ogame School
Ango：！
!

Jinsuke：それとも・・今じゃなきゃ勝てねーか？
Or..do you think you’ll lose if you don’t fight him now?

Page 14
Ango：チッ・・・・仕方ありませんな・・・・
Tch….Guess I don’t have a choice….

Ango：そういうことなら 今回は引きましょう
If that’s how it’s going to be, then I’ll stand down this time
Ango：しかし一年後千石伊織は必ず私が殺す―――
But in one year, I will be the one to kill Sengoku Iori-----

Jinsuke：よし・・
All right..
Jinsuke：今日から一年無宝流は大亀流に手は出すな
Starting today the Muhou School will not lay a hand on the Ogame School
Riko：ぬう
Grr

Crazy guy：ヘケ
Hekeh

Riichirou：フフ・・・・何か楽しそう
Heheh….this seems kinda fun

Jinsuke：だが
But
Jinsuke：休戦中に力を増すのはオメーらだけじゃねーぞ
You won’t be the only ones gaining strength during our armistice
Iori：―――！
-----!

Jinsuke：強くなれよ　伊織
Grow strong, Iori
Jinsuke：俺が見切りをつけた流派（モノ）で俺を倒すつもりならな
If you plan to defeat me with the school that I gave up on, that is

Page 15
Jinsuke：今より一年の後その大亀流を
One year from now, the Muhou School
Jinsuke：無宝流は叩き潰す
Will destroy your Ogame School

Iori：・・・・・・
……
Iori：もう朝かよ・・
Morning already..?

Page 16
Iori：（やれやれ・・・・何とか時間は稼げたが）
(I’ll be damned….somehow I managed to buy us some time)

Iori：（正直・・・・）
(But to be honest….)
Iori：（今の時点で勝算なんて呼べるもんはねぇ―――）
(We don’t have anything that can be called a chance at this point-----)

Iori：（勝つとすりゃいくつかの奇跡が必要だ・・・・）
(If we’re gonna win we’re gonna need a few miracles….)
Iori：（特にアイツのな―――）
(Especially from him-----)

Iori：オイ　そこの門番
Hey, gate guard
X face：な・・何だ・・
Wh-what do you want..?

Iori：もし　直善様に会えたら伝えといてくれや
I want you to tell Naoyoshi-sama something if you see him
X face：何・・・・！？
What….!?

Iori：一年後　大亀流と
Tell him to relax and become daimyo or whatever
Iori：黒鉄我間っつーバカが助けにくっから安心して藩主でも何にでもなりやがれってな！
‘Cause the Ogame School and a dumbass named Kurogane Gama are gonna come save his ass in a year!

Page 17
Narration：数日後　戎簾の里
A few days later, at Juuren Village

Rintarou：・・この手紙によれば　決戦は一年後デス
..According to this letter, the final battle will be in a year

Rintarou：伊織はガマ君達が修行する時間を稼ぐために城に乗り込んだのデスネ
Iori broke into the castle in order to buy Gama-kun and the others time for training
Sensei：うむ・・・・
Yes….
Sensei：しかし　同じ期間で敵の力も増す・・・・
However, the enemy will also grow in power during that time….

Sensei：（五年前のあの悲劇をまた繰り返すわけにはいかぬ）
(I cannot allow a repeat of the tragedy of five years ago)
Sensei：（いよいよワシも戦の準備をせねばならぬのう・・・・）
(I suppose I, too, must finally prepare for battle….)

Page 18
Shin：（決戦は一年後・・）
(The final battle is in a year..)
Shin：（伊織め・・・・）
(That damn Iori….)
Shin：（奴もここに帰って来ぬからには自分なりの修行をしているはず・・・・・・）
(The fact that he didn’t come back here means he’s probably off doing his own training……)

Shin：（戦いの時までに俺はヤツ以上に腕を上げてみせる―――）
(I’ll get better than him by the time of the battle-----)

Kashi：オラァ　オラァ！疲れた時こそ身体への意識を高めろサルどもがぁ！！
Hey, come on! It’s when you’re tired that you especially need to heighten your awareness of your body, you damn ape!!

Kashi：オラ　サル丸！　テメェ 自分からそのバカ刀使ってまいってんじゃねーぞ！
Hey, Monkeymaru! You’re the one who chose to use that stupidly huge sword!
Kashi：才能ねーなぁ！
You’re talentless!
Zen：ぬううう
Grrrrr

Zen：（ちくしょう！！）
(Dammit!!)
Zen：（何が才能だ　我間には絶対負けねぇぞ）
(Whadda ya mean “talentless”? Like hell I’m gonna lose to Gama)

Zen：（俺は我間（アイツ）にゃ絶対振れねぇこの定長で）
(I’m gonna gain ultimate control of my body and surpass my brother using Sadanaga)
Zen：（最高の身体操作を手に入れ兄上を越えてみせる！）
(The same Sadanaga that Gama can’t even swing!)

Page 19
Gama：（親父・・・・）
(Dad….)
Gama：（アンタは俺が倒す・・・・）
(I’m going to be the one to beat you….)

Gama：（待ってろよ直善さん・・・・）
(Hold on, Naoyoshi-san….)

Gama：（俺は・・・・）
(I’m….)

Page 20
Gama：（強くなる！！）
(Gonna get stronger!!)

Narration：大亀流の面々はそれからの日々の全てを
All members of the Ogame School spent the days that followed
Narration：濃密な鍛錬の中で過ごした
Steeped in intense training

Narration：そして一年の月日は
And one year’s time
Narration：瞬く間に過ぎ去った――――
Passed in the blink of an eye------
