Title: Chapter 5 I'm Going

Page 156-157:
Sugata: After being healed by "Ukeshi of Akiba's" lap, my spirit has been restored.
And the next day
at a different hall,
Sign: Shogi Salon
Shogi Star
Sugata: Again, while interposing losses in,
I lose.
At a pace of 2 wins and 1 loss,
Guy: I lost?
Sugata: I kept earning.
SFX: KUSHA
Sugata: When I was losing on purpose..
I always grit my teeth.

Page 158:
Sugata: Even when I won, it wasn't a complete victory.
I won by a narrow margin.
Guy: If you don't let the duck live or kill it,
even if you cook it, you'll only get the tail.
Guy: That's odd. You're not even that good.
Sugata: I got lucky.
You just barely let me get that one.
And even so, as I continued to win two out of three,
Guy: ...
Sugata: Shrewd Shinkenshi that were earning the same way as me began to realize it.

Page 159:
Guy: He-yup.
Sugata: ......
Guy: Dude,
you're the real thing.
Sugata: What?
Real thing?
Guy: Quit that.
You don't need to play dumb.
You ain't gonna earn much playing low-ranking guys like these.
Sugata: No.. I'm really not

Page 160:
Guy: It's a business obstruction.
Somebody like you being here.
Sugata: .......
I don't know any way of making money besides this.
Guy: Quit whinin'!
You're young, ain'cha?
You'll make it in time. Work seriously.
Sugata: ..........

Guy: If you win, you get 20,000.
If I win,
you don't come back to this hall,
ever!
Sugata: .........
Okay.

Guy: Ain't ordinary! You're friggin' strong!
Knock it off!!
Who the hell are you?
A pro?
Sugata: Pros are even stronger.
Guy: Your name?

SFX: PIN
Sugata: That's my earnings for today.
SFX: CHIN
Sugata: 42,000 yen.
That last 20,000 felt good.

Page 165:
I've quickly raised
my proficiency as a Shinkenshi.
My blood is...
being replaced...
with a Shinkenshi's blood.

Ukeshi: But in exchange
I have a condition.

Well, I guess I have no excuse to refuse now.
To me,
these pieces are...
Ukeshi: I'll listen to your pieces story
later.

Page 172:
Ukeshi: In my place,

I'd like you to play a "shinken".
Sugata: A...
All right.

Page 173:
Sugata: Can I ask one thing, too?
Ukeshi: Eh?
Sugata: I'd just like to make just thing clear.
Even now, sometimes I can't believe it.
