Old Man: This is my favorite place to look at Yatsugatake from...
So I decided to setup residence here.
麓 死 本望
If I died at the foot of this mountain, I wouldn't mind.
昨日は季節外れの大雪だった
Yesterday there was out of season heavy snow...
To see this kind of scenery at this time of year,
you're lucky.
Now then, you must be tired.
Please come in and rest.

I'll prepare a bath and food for when you get back.
Mori: Thank you very much.

You might have a bit of trouble with your footing.

三脚 望遠レンズ フルセット
Takeda: For taking videos you've got a tripod and a full set of long distance lenses...
Don't you think you're overdoing it a bit, Kurosawa-san?
たかが高校生に少々 無茶やらせたところで
No matter how much a monster he is, we're just making a high school student be rash.
編集長が喜ぶような絵が撮れますかねえ？
Do you think we can get pictures the editor-in-chief will like?
Kurosawa: Yeah. Even if he's caught in an avalanche or something
it might make him happy [heart]
Takeda: Those kinda of conditions where there are lots of avalanches don't happen around here, do they!!?
Kurosawa: It would seem that yesterday there was a big snowfall that's rare for this season...

Page 33:
地表部が融けて崩れやすい
Kurosawa: In this season, the part of the snow on the surface of the earth melts and crumbles easily.
Especially from Hirogawara Valley to Mount Amida's South Ridge Route.
Takeda: Ku-Kurosawa-san, you don't mean...
Kurosawa: It's all right, it's all right.
せいぜい腰の深さ程度の雪崩だって
At most, there'll be a waste-deep avalanche.
大事な飯の種にそう簡単に死なれちゃ困るからな
If such an important source for business were able to die so easily, I'd be worried.
And what about you? You'd like to take a shot of a person the moment before they were swallowed by an avalanche, wouldn't you?
It'd be a big scoop!!
Takeda: Th... That would be...
Kurosawa: Oh, I can see it!!
That's Mount Amida.

Page 34:
Kurosawa: !!
That cloud...
Takeda: What's wrong, Kurosawa-san?
Kurosawa: Ah, no, it's nothing.
A memory of something I saw 10 years ago.
There's no way there could be a blizzard in this season...

Mori: Sleet?
No, it's clear...
Did some snow get blown off?

I mean, it's still the afternoon.
Kurosawa: Sorryyy!!
Are you ouuut?
Old Man: You're Kurosawa-san, yes?
SFX: Basha basha

Your companion, that boy,
He left in the morning and hasn't come back!!!
Takeda: Eh?
Old Man: I've just been searching the nearby area, but
If he went onto the mountain
and he doesn't come back, it'll become a dangerous situation!!!
I'm sure that child was wearing jeans!!
If they get wet in this rain, they'll be frozen in now time!!!

SFX: Gachi gachi gachi
SFX: Buru buruburu
[Moral of the story, don't wear jeans when you're climbing a snow-covered mountain.]
