--Mount Yukikura, Mountain Pass Bottom, Snow Cave--
Niimi: Please let me go get the Mikunizakai *deposit!!!
長期に渡る冬山登山の食糧・燃料を事前に運び上げて貯蔵している場所。
Asterisk: *Deposit = A place where food supplies or fuel are stored for long periods of time for winter mountain climbing.
Komatsu: Quit yer idiotic babbling.
Ya think I'm gonna leave an important duty like this up to a klutz like you?
Niimi: I will not make a mistake like that again!!
Please give me one more chance!!!
Komatsu: No way.
We're already out of food and fuel. If you mess up getting this deposit then we're all gonna freeze to death out here.

Komatsu: Kunieda's gotta look after Kase.
Right now, the only ones who can go are me and Mori.
C'mon, Mori, let's go.
Mori: ......Yes, sir.
Niimi: No!!!
Why Mori!!?
SFX: BAH
Niimi: I've got both more experience and achievements than Mori!!!
For the sake of the team, I should be the one to go!!!!


Page 27:
Komatsu: Then why don'cha both go?
Niimi: !!
Komatsu: Let's make it clear who's the superior dung beetle.
But by dawn tomorrow,
if you're not back by then without any disasters, we're immediately calling for rescue and heading down the mountain.

Page 28:
Niimi: We're coming up on the deposit-ground winter hut. Before the paths we made in the snow disappear,
let's hurry and collect it and head back!!!
Hurry, come...
Mori: It's time.
Let's switch off.
It;s been over an hour.
Any longer would be dangerous.

Page 29:
Kunieda: Will those two really be all right...?
Niimi is impulsive and gets angry too much.
What's gonna happen pairing him up with Mori, someone in his same generation...?
Komatsu: If it's after we've gotten to K2 it'll be too late.
The best time to drain the pus is now...
SFX: HYUOOO

Take a posture to resist the wind, or we'll fall off the ridge line!

[Seriously, I have no idea what the fuck that was. So... really without any context or clear meaning, there could've been a better translation. I chose the vaguest way. Basically Niimi is asking for permission, the mom says "not yet" implying it'll be ok "later". Whatever it is...]
