4: This is merely a habit of mine...do not worry yourself.
5: Fufu...today's breakfast is a super-big Toma sunny-side up platter!
6: It was a twin egg, too! Looks like today is gonna be a good one.

07)
1: Oh, Rai-san! Good morning!
2(2b): We got some good meat in today! Come on in for lunch if you like.
3: I've spent more than a year in this tiny Plant town...
4: This is the first time...I've ever stayed in the same place for so long...

08)
1: When I reached the age of discretion, I was alone in this desolate land.

1: That
2: and nothing more...
3: Take a bite, Rai-san!
4: This is a kinda high-quality food, ya know.
5: You have my gratitude...
6: ...Seems like Rai-san's really gotten used to this town, huh?
7(2b): Yes...he was scary at first, but now thanks to Rai-san, the bandits going after the Plants* have stopped coming.

2: a God.
3: Sensei! Good morning!!
4: ...I just can't
5: get used to it...
6: After cutting down vagrants in this town,
7: one child...requested that I teach her the way of the sword.

15)
1: In exchange for food...I accepted.
2(2b): Is this...what one calls talent? She became skilled in the blink of an eye.
3: After one year, she used those skills she had gained
4: and began cutting down the vagrants that targeted the town along with myself.
5: ...you're here early.
6(2b): Yes! Despite the attacks having lessened recently, you never know when those scoundrels will pop up, right?!
7(2b): Again, Saram?! I told you to come back by breakfast, didn't I?!
8: Ah...sorry, Rim.

16)
1(2b): You're still growing now, and you won't get any taller unless you eat a good breakfast, you know?
2: A...alright already! Don't mention my height!!
3: The hand...of an elder sister
4: is not something to be seen as a nuisance...
5: ...As usual, Rai-san
6: is so...cool.
7: Just your type,
8: right sis?
9: W-w-what are you talking about?! You think you can get away with saying such adult things when you're this small?!
10: Owwwwwww! That hurts, sis!!

17)
1: When...
2: did I first come to this town?
3: It seems...like the distant past.
4: But also...like yesterday.

18)
1: ...I'm really thankful to you, Rai-san.
2: The reason our town is so peaceful is all because of you...
3: I cut because I choose to.
4: I do not require thanks...
5: Rai-san...you're strong...
6: You're...strong, but...
7: your younger sister?
8: The one I entrusted my Jigengiri Ittouryuu to
9: is not as brittle as you may think.

19)
1: Do not
2: worry yourself.
3: Rai-san, we're in big trouble!!
4: I spotted them on the way back from work.
5: There's a huge crowd of bandits headed our way!
6: They even brought a fucking long-distance cannon!
7: If they get any closer we're toast...please, help us!!

20)
1: ...what Saram lacks
2: is experience...that's what I should have said.
3: In the months and years I have spent wandering this desert,
4: I have only come up...with one mission for myself.
5: However...what I find myself thinking of now is much different.
6: To make my sword...
7: into something others can use to protect themselves.

21)
1: The teaching
2: of the sword.
3: Could that...actually be
4(2b): the true reason...I was born onto this planet?
5: ...Sir Gotoh,
6: I...do not see any bandits out here...

22)
1: Hyaaahaaaaaa!!
2: This Plant's all ours!!
3: Kill off all the old farts!
4: and pack up the young ones!!
5(2b): Heh...heheh...now, with this, uh, Mr. Zanzahha...
6: You'll entrust the overseeing
7(2b): of the Plant....to me....righ...

23)
1: Hoo...
2: ...you really are one sick fuck.
3(2b): Still though...you sure it's OK to use this many bullets? The boss said we gotta sell off the young ones, you know?
4: Don't sweat it. The bitch ended up plugging
5: Rod, Mejas...and who knows how many else.
6: She kept swinging around that katana with that cute face of hers,
7: so I just thought I'd let her taste mine!

24)
1: ...Se...
2: Sen...se...
3: I...m...sor..ry.
4: P...le...a...se...
5: s...ist...er..
6: and...e...very...one...else...

25)
1: ...Salam...
2: The reason...I entrusted my sword to you.
3: ....Fufu...what...
4: was it...?

26)
1: How could you let this
2: happen to yourself?!
3(2b): I know that same-day sales to the organ shop with let us gain a lead on Roderick, but do we really have to cut 'em all up now...?
4(2b): What's the big deal? We'll be getting bonuses for this. More importantly, how are we gonna explain this one?
5: Well, we're not going be able to sell her uterus now
6: that you assholes had too much fun with her.
7: It should be fine if we sell it to some newly-rich old hag who can't pop any out.
8: She'll be thanking us for giving her the gift of childbirth!
9: What a terrible misunderstanding.
10: My...Jigengiri Ittouryuu

27)
1: is not something that anyone else is capable of handling.
2: The very thought of teaching it is absurd.
3: It will be perfected during my lifetime
4: and end with my death.
5: Jigengiri Ittouryuu
6: Meteor Shower
7: I am now enlightened.
8(2b): The Jigengiri Ittouryuu is myself, and I alone. I, alone on this sweltering, sandy planet.
9(2b): I will brandish my sword alone, and cut down my foes alone.
10: Cut
11: Cut (x12)

28)
1: The blade
2: that cuts through air like thunder
3: As of now...cutting humans
4: no longer...
5: fills me with any kind of deep emotion.
6: What I
7: The blade that slithers through the sweltering sand and slurps blood

29)

2: is something
black text: Mad blades cannot be stopped!!
