Kase: What'd you do with my money?
Title: 49th Climb True Nature
Mori: Eh?
[That's the EXACT same picture from the end of the last chapter, the one on top. It's EXACTLY the same except for the speech bubble.]

Niimi: Quit playing dumb!!
Sneaking our in the middle of the night...
Because of you I got suspected!
Anyhow, you stole it right!!? Hurry and cough it up!!!
Mori: Wai...
Wait a second, what on earth are you talking...
SFX: BAH

Page 125:
Kase: Somebody took my wallet from my rucksack in the middle of the night.
So it's gotta be one of you two.
Mori: Eh...?
B-But
Why does it have to be one of us...?
Kase: Isn't it obvious?
Because you two are poor.
Mori: ......!!!

森はしがない派遣の肉体労働
Kase: Mori's a poor temp manual laborer
母子家庭
and Niimi's in a fatherless household, right...?
SFX: Giri... (grind)
Kase: My wallet had more than 200,000 in cash...
It's just pocket money but for you guys it's big bucks.
つい出来心
You probably just did it on a passing impulse, no big deal.
Hmph.
Niimi, with my money you could even buy some new mountain wear, couldn't you?

Kase: !!!
SFX: DOH
SFX: DOSAA
SFX: GARARA
SFX: BAH

品性まで下劣になる
Kase: When humans have no money, they get vulgar down to their characters, don't they?
Pitiful, isn't it?
Niimi: ..........!!!
Komatsu: Where da you bastards think you are!?
This is the top of a 3000 meter elevation mountain ridge!
One wrong step and ya'll tumble down!!!
SFX: Jyah

Page 129:
SFX: DOSA
Niimi: Mori, put your rucksack down, too.
Mori: Eh?
Niimi: It's fine, just drop it I said!!!
SFX: DOSAH
Niimi: Kunieda-san, you too.
For this situation we should check everyone's bag and make it all black and white!!!
Kunieda: Don't touch me!!!
SFX: BAH

Page 130:
Kase: Kunieda...san?
Kunieda: Anyhow, there's no point, is there?
Something like looking for a thief on a mountain.

Page 131:
Kunieda: Even if it was stolen, they'd take the cash and throw the wallet into a valley, wouldn't they?
They could just stash that money somewhere and go back for it later and they'd be all set...
You won't be finding anything like proof on a mountain.
For example, even if I pushed everyone into the ravine right now...

Someone: !!!!
!!!

Page 133:
[Well... everyone's dead. Maybe not the smartest move.]

Page 134-135:
[Well, I guess that's the end of part 2. A bit of an anticlimax.]

Page 136:
Somebody: Mori, why'd you go out ahead?
[Or maybe Mori just daydreams way too much.]

Page 137:
Mori: Eh...
Ah...
I-I just...
wanted to try walking the alps mountain ridge alone...
Komatsu: Just as I thought...
Here, take it back.
Kase: !!

Page 138:
Kase: Th-This is my wallet.
You had it the whole time?
Komatsu: Now I've got a decent grasp on each of you guys' true natures.
Now, let's head down the mountain.
Niimi: P... Please wait a second! Yari is right over there!!
Aren't we set up to rendezvous with Captain Ninomiya?
Komatsu: This whole thing was by my own judgement.
親善大使
Right now the captain is in Australia as a goodwill ambassador, taking commemorative photos of koalas.
Kase: O... Old man,
you pulled one over on us!!?

Page 139:
Komatsu: SHEDDEP!
I ain't lettin' no complainers go to K2...
SFX: Kah
Guys: !!
!!
[Ooh... what is it now?]

Page 140-141:
[Oh dear God... What... What's happening now?]

Page 142-143:
[The... the mountain's got a spine...]

Page 144:
Mori: Th-That's Yari's tip...
It's just like...

Page 145:
Komatsu: It looks just like
the earth's bone is baring out of the ground.
Deception doesn't work on mountains.
Humans true natures are stripped bare.
This winter, with these members,
during its coldest period of the year, we're going to traverse all of the mountains in the northern alps.

Page 146-147:
薄汚ない腸の裏側まで全部曝け出してもらうからな
Komatsu: At that time, all of your insides down to yer filthy intestines'll be exposed...
so prepare yerselves.
