Title: 102nd Climb Time Man
[The paper is French for something. But it's also a proper noun so who cares?]

Page 184:
[Heroes sit in their chair in class and stare out the window. Mori, he kinda just stares at his desk.]

[Food's already got romaji on it.]

Page 186:
Somebody: ...Right, Mori!!!?
Mori: Eh?
[That sign in the back isn't visible/important]
Somebody: What's with you, weren't ya listening?
Remember that? When Fuku-chan's afro lit on fire from the burner flames in the cooking room?
陥没した 刈り揃え
When he cut it to match the parts that had caved in
he accidentally punched me and almost got invited into another group!!
Mori: Y-Yeah.

Page 187:
Miyamoto: But it's really amazing. He could never get one girlfriend in high school
今や一戸建て構えて二児のパパなんだからな
and now he's got a house and he's the father of 2 kids.
Yumi: Is he still climbing?
He's got a 2-generation 40 year loan.
So no way!!
Takemura: Ah, that's right, Miyamoto-san!!
Please tell us a story about Ceuse!!
I've still never been there.
What kind of rocks were there? Volcanic ones, right?

Page 188:
Takemura: !!
Andou-san, what's wrong?
Yumi: Sorry.
I'm cold, so I'm going to get a jacket from my car.
Miyamoto: Oh, right, that's something pretty big to forget.
A souvenir from France.
Ceuse stones.

Page 189:
Miyamoto: Well, if I you want to hear my personal opinion, including how it looks, it's the number one rocky area in the world.
SFX: GOH GOH GOH
Miyamoto: And more than anything, the quality of the routes ain't half bad.
SFX: TAN
Miyamoto: Know what I'm talking about? What's said to be the most difficult route in Ceuse, "Realization".
It's the super long route that has an overhang 105~110 degrees from the eye line which continues 35 meters
Plus there a flat rock slab that's slippery like a mirror.
There used to be two joined 5.14 routes,
so I can understand why it was upgraded to a 5.15 route.

Page 190:
Takemura: The center section at around the 25 meter level there's an outwardly slanted lunge you need to make, right?
How many times did you clear it, Miyamoto-san?
Miyamoto: Y-You idiot, I'm climbing those things for my life. I don't count each little one!!!
*Chris Sharma did it around 40~50 times in 3 years, so I probably did it like 100, right?
Asterisk: *An American pro free climber.
Takemura: Heeeh.
So it's that sorta thing?
Miamoto: Okay, now listen closely.
Starting now, we've got a big chance!!

Page 191:
Miyamoto: After that lunge there's a series of are 5 or 6 super-dangerous moves to make...
And you don't have time to put a rope on each individual bolt.
It's a total slew.
Pockets ya might manage to get a couple fingers into before you can stand or get a good hold.
Straining your abs and with legs held down, you keep climbing with your whole body weight riding on one your feet on just one millimeter.

Page 192:
Miyamoto: If you don't run up it in one shot,
you'll get peeled off the wall in an second...!!!
[He just re-used that same picture from the last page on the bottom, zoomed in a little.]

Page 193:
SFX: GARAN
Miyamoto: That really was the best.
Gehuh.
That blue sky... those white clouds,
those giant lime rocky mountains extending as far as the eye can see...
[That's disgusting...]
And those congenial climbers, gathered from all over the world.
There, country boundaries and words don't matter...

Page 194-195:
Miyamoto: For climbers, that place was really
paradise.
[WOAH THE DRAWING QUALITY WENT WAY WAY DOWN!]

Page 196:
Takemura: Even so, it's too bad.
If you'd climbed it completely then you'd be the first Japanese to do so. It would be a big uproar on the net and in magazines...
Miyamoto: Yeah, with just the last several feet left,
the tendons in my fingers ruptured.
[The asterisk is just explaining what the obscure Japanese term means.]
But it ain't like I've given up yet.
Once these fingers are back to normal, I'll be ready for my revenge.

Page 197:
Miyamoto: Hey, Mori,
I was so happy to hear you were still climbing mountains.
Maybe we're fated to climb together...!!!

Since you went on your business trip, Daisuke-san, I've been so lonely [crying face thing]
Hurry back soon, okay [3 hearts]
Do your best with work!
