Kokou no Hito 56

I climb mountains because I like them...
But the beauty of the world seems to disappear when I'm with others... bringing back connections to the annoying world below.
So why climb with other people?
Because being too shy to speak your mind sends you down a path.

[I think I forgot to white-out the edge there on the raw. Might wanna do that.]

Niimi's Mom: Tak-kun, your dad's job
was to climb mountains.

Page 65:
Niimi's Mom: He challenged the world's most difficult mountain
and was the first person in the world to climb to the peak.
Momo: That scenery your Dad saw, Tak-kun,
this time you'll see it yourself......
Niimi: I still
can't die in a place like this!!!
SFX: ZAH
SFX: SHAAAA
Niimi: STOP!! STOP!!
IT'S DEFINITELY GONNA STOP!!
I'M NOT WRONG!!!

SFX: GAH
Komatsu: Niimi?
SFX: GISHIIII

Page 67:
Komatsu: Yeaaah, he's definitely a hopeless klutz,
but he puts all his heart inta mountains.
That guy'll definitely never give up.
With mountains, he's a man that, the more he's driven into a corner, the more he sinks his teeth in...

Komatsu: Kase,
銭っこ勘定の目利きか知んねぇが
I dunno if you're good with calculating money or whatever,
but in the first place, that's talk for the world below.
With mountain climbing, the only one deciding people's futures is the mountain.
人間様の出る幕
There's no place for your human ideas.
Niimi: !!

Mori: Niimi...
Niimi: Hmph.
SFX: ZAH
SFX: DOSAH
Niimi: Heh. Serves me right. It was raining a few days ago, right?
So I thought there had to be layers of ice, so I pierced my ice pick in as hard as I could, and bingo!!
SFX: HAA
HAA
HAA

SFX: BAH
Niimi: You saved me, Dad...
Thank you.
This ice axe is the same one my Dad used.

Page 71:
Niimi: My Dad climbed K2 25 years ago.
He went by the South-Southwest ridge route, which was untrodden at the time.
It's a story I heard from my old lady.
People were clamoring all over Japan.
TV and Newspapers and stuff were all flocking to cover it, she said.

Headline: Dubious Summiting of K2 by the South-Southwest[cut off]
部隊は全滅証拠は無し
Caption: Team completely wiped out, no proof!!
Somebody: Your father is a liar----...

Page 73:
Niimi: My Dad
is not a liar...
Mori.
I'll do whatever I have to for the sake of climbing K2.
If you fall from some overhanging snow, I'll continue forward without hesitation.
To stand at the same peak of K2 as my Dad
and to see the same scenery he saw.

Page 74:
Niimi: So no matter what reason you have,
I absolutely won't surrender the top.
This time I'll be leading the path,
come on.
SFX: ZAH ZAH
Kunieda: --------I'm surprised.
Among those two young climbers,
I thought the you would've been pushing for Mori, Vice Captain.
Komatsu: Mori, eh?

Page 75:
Komatsu: That's because he acted like he loved it so much on Yari this summer.
俺っちはてっきり冬山の前に隊を抜けるって言ってくると思ったんだが
I was sure he was gonna quit the group before the winter mountaineering, but
SFX: Bucho
Komatsu: I just can't place that guy.
The fact that a man that shy around people is still coming with us......
SFX: Buchu buchu
Komatsu: Ow...
Mori Buntarou...
Is he scum, or is he gold...?
Anyhow...

Page 76:
腐ってくる
rotting always starts from the ends.
Mori: Why am I
here right now...?
In order to get to K2...?
Or to get away from the annoying connections to humans below...?
No-------
