Only for use by OMFGG
I'm sorry I'm still alone and my life still lacks direction. But I can say for certain I am not afraid.
By the way, I accidentally labeled chapter 35 before as chapter 36. It's fixed now.

Title: 36th Climb Memorial Mountain
Kurosawa: Yo. Knew you'd be early.
I thought you might start climbing off on your own again.
Gave me the chills.
At this place, as a third-year college student, for the first time in his life, Oonishi
completed an onsite climb route...
SFX: Zah
Page 84:
Mt. Mizugaki.
The "Oonishi Kizuma" route.
Title: 36th Climb
Memorial Mountain
Page 85:
He was the first man in the world to climb this route.
Giving him the privilege of having his name attacked to it.
This is the only route where his name remains.
He climbed this rock no one had done before on-site when he was a 20 year old kid. He was real happy back then...
Besides Oonishi, there's still no one who's successfully climbed this route.
Recently, I've taken on the challenge tons of times, but just as I expected, I can't do it.
!!
SFX: Boh

Kurosawa: Hey, hey, if you need a belayer I'll do it.
SFX: Gyuh
Mori: I'm fine, really. I'm used to doing it alone.
Kurosawa: Heh.
This guy's no sweeter than usual...
The rest of the lot will be here soon.
I'll go along the side trace path and meet you up there after you're done.
SFX: Zah
SFX: Pasah

SFX: Kachin
Kurosawa: I've finally dragged him out this far.
恥をかかせんな
Don't embarrass me, now.
SFX: GAH
Page 88:
Man: Oh, he's started climbing.
関東近郊の難ルートを攻め落としているという
He's the one who's climbing difficult routes on the outskirts of Kantou.
The rumored solo climber.
お手並拝見
First I'll have to take a look at his skill...
Page 89:
Mori: HAA
HAA
SFX: Gah
Mori: It's a touch route.
There are barely any choices for holds...
たちまち手詰まりだ
One wrong move and you're suddenly at an impasse.
SFX: Gah
Mori: Over 10 years ago
sensei reached the top using these very same holds.
Page 90:
Mori: Just like me,
the 20 year old Oonishi-sensei was...
Page 91:
Friends: Hang in there, Oonishi!
Don't give up!!!
Mori: The route's name was "Kizuna"...
TL Note: Kizuna means "bond". That's likely what he's referring to. It has nothing to do with ninjas or anything.
Mori: And because it was Oonishi-sensei, I'm sure he had a crowd of fellow climbers with him.
Oonishi: Yeah! I'm going right for it!!
Mori: He pioneered this route by working together with them, didn't he...
I'm sorry, Oonishi-sensei...
I'm alone right now.
Page 92:
Mori: Even though sensei told so much not to be alone...
I...
Sign: Principal
Principal: I see, I see.
退学届
Paper: Dropping out of school letter
Principal: So you're going off for mountains like Miyamoto-kun is.
If there's something you want to do, that's a happy thing.
There's no reason for us to hold you back from it.
Do your best out there.
SFX: Patan
一件落着
Principal: ...Well, that's one issue settled.
[I dunno if he's the principal or that Ishida guy, and I don't care.]
Page 93:
Principal: Honestly, these young ones this days show up
and think as long as they have a "dream" they'll be allowed to do anything.
高校ろくに出ないで世の中を渡っていこうなんて
Thinking they don't need to stay in high school and can just go out into society,
they're far too naive.
SFX: Gah
Mori: Certainly, if you look at what I'm doing from an outside perspective,
先に見通しのつかない不安定な状況かも知れません
it may look like an instable situation with a lack of foresight.
But sensei----
Page 94-95:
Mori: I'm
not scared at all.
Page 96:
SFX: Pachin
Kurosawa: So this is where you were, Ninomiya-san.
Ninomiya: Certainly, this Mori... Buntarou was it?
He's quite good, isn't it?
To be able to climb that far while so young.
He is very much qualified.
Kurosawa: Of course.
He's the one that Oonishi-sensei had his eye on, isn't he?
Ninomiya: Hoh, Oonishi did, eh...?
Page 97:
Ninomiya: But he's fast.
This is the first person to achieve this on site since Oonishi...!!!
Mori: Kuh...
Kuku...
Page 98:
SFX: Gah
Ninomiya: !!?
Kurosawa: Wh-What's with him!? He suddenly changed his route!
He's clinging to an overhang!!!
Page 99:
Kurosawa: What's he thinking!!?
Going that way it'll just get more difficult and make the danger will increase, right!!?
Ninomiya: I see, so he was avoiding the dicentras...
So he wouldn't have to step on the blooming flowers,
He chose to take on a more difficult route.
Kurosawa: !!
70年代 聖地ヨセミテの壁面がクライマー達のハーケンによって穴だらけになった教訓をもとに
Ninomiya: ...In the 70s, in the sacred ground of Yosemite, in the name of moral lessons climbers covered a rock wall with holes from hooks.
As much as they could, they tried not to damage the rock and climb, being as one with nature. From this, the ideas of "Free Climbing" spread into the world.
But nature does not go along with the thoughts of humans.
その力に逆らう事はなく 高みを目指すのは容易な事ではない...
To aim for high places without opposing that power is no simple feat...
Page 100:
Ninomiya: *Meikyou Shisui.
私心欲心 ありのままに 心境
A mental state without any selfishness or greed, and entering in a completely truthful manner-----
*TL Note: A Japanese phrase meaning a mental state polished and serene, literally as a "polished mirror" and "still water". And has nothing to do with yokai or Nurarihyons or anything...
Ninomiya: That climbing... Being so young, you could say he even achieved that mental state...?
He's piqued my interest.
Page 101:
Ninomiya: He passes.
正式に彼を私の山岳チームに招き入れたいと思います
I think I'd like to formally invite him to my mountain team.
Rock: 1996.10.20
First climb to the summit!!
