Text in the middle: A man’s strength comes from his heart!

Blue text: Cheering for the new student! It’s a special side-story!

Shun Matsuena Presents – ‘The boy who came from the mountain’ - Gaiden

Page 02:

Kid: For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived in the middle of the mountains with my father.

Kid: But, in the spring of my thirteenth year, I suddenly got permission to leave the mountain!!

Honoka: Mornin’. Did I keep you waiting, Nacchi?

Tanimoto: Stop calling me that.

Kid: Ahh, Shirahama-senpai!!

Page 03:

Kid: Good morning, Shirahama Honoka-senpai!!

Page 04:

Box: My name is Yamamoto Naoki. I’m a young martial artist!!

Honoka: Oh, morning Kouhai-kun.

Page 05:

Box: For generations, our family has carried on the tradition of the Yamamoto Jujitsu style. As we are not allowed to leave the mountain unless we become strong enough, there is a certain custom.

Naoki: Even if I die…

Naoki: I’m going to get one hit on you, then leave this mountain!

Text near Tengu: *This is actually his father in disguise

Box: I barely managed to get one hit on a certain Tengu that is sealed in a cave, so I got permission from my father to attend a trial Middle School admission.

Naoki: I thought that in ‘the city’ there were flying cars and cat-robots that could suddenly bring out anything.

Honoka: Ahahaha! It doesn’t sound like a joke when you say things like that!

Naoki: …Ahaha.

Tanimoto: There isn’t an old man wearing red that gives out presents either.

Naoki: Ehhh?!! / Honoka: What?!!

Naoki: But, Honoka-senpai is really amazing!! You even have a high-school student as a friend.

Honoka: Heh, I’m making progress.

Naoki: However... the way he holds himself… he’s definitely strong.

Naoki: I wonder if there are fighters as strong as this one scattered all over the place…’The City’ truly is amazing!!

Page 06:

Honoka: So, have you gotten used to school yet?

Naoki: Yep!!

Box: This is Shirahama-senpai. She’s in her 2nd Year. She’s always worrying about me, she’s a very kind person.

Box: She also has the same name as a person I fought ages ago, and she’s also easy to get close to!!

Kenichi: Let’s fight again someday.

Box: There must be heaps of people called ‘Shirahama’ in the city!!

Box: This is the school I’m having a trial admission at. It’s a good school!!

Box: But, some weird things have happened…

Page 07:

Box: I wonder if this could be ‘the city’s ‘bullying’ I’ve heard about…

Box: When I was in the mountains, I studied the little information I could get about ‘the city’. From what I know…

Last box: A radio that only connects sometimes.

Page 08:

Naoki: Bullying should be a tactic, where people in unstable positions group together,

Naoki: Find the weakest of the group and attack them.

Page 09:

Naoki thought: 2 seconds!!

Naoki: It’s no use…I don’t think I’d lose at all.

Naoki thought: It wouldn’t even take 3 seconds!!

Naoki thought: Why am I being picked on even though I’m stronger than them?!

Kid: Tch-

Box: But I have to do what my father told me!!

Father: Listen, when you leave the mountain, you are forbidden to use martial arts.

Kids: You scared!

Naoki thought: If I break the promise I won’t be able to come to ‘the city’ again.

Honoka: M-M-My Kouhai’s being bullied?!

Naoki: Haa-…

Page 10:

Naoki: I originally planned on…

Naoki: Making 100 friends~

Naoki: Oh yeah, if I’m useful maybe people will like me!

Kid: Today’s lunch is Tori Karaage!!
TL Note: Fried Chicken

HW Naoki: Forgive me pigeon, but it seems that everyone's eating bird today…

Girl: Sensei!! Yamamoto-kun!!

Naoki: Eh, but aren’t we eating bird today?

Teacher: Yeah, but… um… you just can’t eat a pigeon!!

Naoki: Why not?!

Bully: He’s really easy to pick on.

Bully 2: Heheheh…

Honoka: He’s definitely being picked on!

Page 11:

Shigure: Ah, it’s… Honoka.

Honoka: Oyyy, Shishous! I got a question!!

Hw Sakaki: Who are you calling Shishous…

Akisame: What? / A way to stop your Kouhai from being picked on?

Akisame: Well there are many reasons people get picked on, tell us the details.

Akisame: Is this child not able to do his studies?

Honoka: Actually, I’ve heard he’s quite studious.

Honoka: There’s this rumour that he started quoting some book he memorized, something like Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, apparently he even surprised the teacher.

HW Teacher: Ohhhh!

HW Naoki: Sun Tzu said those who fought well in the past,

HW Naoki: Had to attain victory first.

HW Ma: Oh, that’s admirable.

Page 12:

Sakaki: What about his strength? Maybe he’s getting picked on because he’s a weakling?

Honoka: He’s pretty short, but he’s good at sport.

Honoka: All the clubs want him!

Shigure: If that’s the case… maybe he’s….

Shigure: Floating.

Honoka: Floating?

Akisame: Yes. Bullying isn’t something that only humans do.

Akisame: For example, often white crows are bullied by their brethren and killed. Just because they stand out.

Akisame: When a certain amount of creatures gather, there is inferiority and superiority, and the phenomenon of trying to secure social standing is known as bullying.

Akisame: It can be said that it is impossible for bullying to cease to exist…

Honoka: Ehhhh!!!

Page 13:

Honoka: I thought you Shishous would be able to tell me an incredible secret plan or something~

Honoka: You helped Onii-chan out, didn’t you!

Kenichi: Oh Honoka, you’ve come to visit, huh?

Akisame: I was also picked on in the past so I understand the pain of being bullied. But it can also be a ‘trial’ that helps one better oneself.

Kenichi: What are you talking about?

Page 14:

Akisame: That’s why you should tell that child something. Something that will help turn bullying into something that can better oneself, what you should tell that child is…

Akisame: Do not die!!

Honoka: Die?

Kenichi: Yes! Not mentally, socially or as a living being!!

Akisame: …Eventually the state or situation will definitely change, / You will notice that the world that surrounds you now is not the entire world. However, if you die you cannot achieve anything.

Ma: You shouldn’t get killed either!!

Akisame: Yes, I’m grateful to those who bullied me in the past. As it was something that helped me develop into the person I am today.

Akisame: But if you die, you can’t develop…

Page 15:

Akisame: So ‘don’t die!’

Akisame: And ‘don’t get killed!!’

Akisame: If you can abide by those two rules, in the end that child will attain victory.

Honoka: Hmm.

Honoka: I don’t quite understand,

Honoka: But I’ll tell him that.

Page 18:

Honoka: Ok? Don’t die!!

Honoka: And you can’t get killed either!!

Honoka: See ya.

Naoki: I-I don’t really get it, but she’s cheering for me?!

Naoki: I-I’ll do my best!!

Page 17:

Naoki: Even though I got bullied, today was a good day…

Naoki: Hmm?

Naoki: Ah, they’re the guys who bully me, Hayashiba-kun, Suzuki-kun and Yanazamoto-kun?!

Page 18:

Naoki: They’re paying a high school student?! What sort of trade is that?

Naoki: Those eyes, he’s frightened?!

Naoki: He’s threatening them and taking their money!! Basically…

Naoki: That’s ‘robbery’!! A crime is happening here!!

High School: Bring more cash tomorrow.

Kid: But I don’t have any more…

High School: Then take some from your parents’ wallet.

Naoki: Though I’m forbidden to use martial arts when I’m in ‘the city’!!

Naoki: …But, right now…

Page 19:

Naoki: When I see evil I can’t hold myself back!!

Naoki: Take this villain!!

Page 21:

High school student: What’s with this brat… gmgh!!

Naoki: Ude Hishigi Nejiri Otoshi!!
TL Note: Arm Crush Twist Throw

Page 22:

Kids: U-Uwahhh!!

Naoki: Get out of here.

Naoki: I’ll take them on again when they wake up so that they stop doing bad things.

Kid: Y-Y-You’re strong?

Naoki: Eh? Didn’t you pick on me because of that? / Can’t you work out one’s strength from looking at their eyes…

Naoki: Didn’t your dad teach you that when you were young?

Kids: We didn’t learn that…

Kids: You don’t normally learn things like that…

Naoki: Well, I suppose when in Rome, I should do as the Romans do.

Naoki: Don’t worry about it, just keep on doing what you usually do tomorrow.

Kids: We’re worried about that…

Naoki: Besides, soon I’m…

Page 23:

Kid: Ehhhh!! He was having a trial admission?!

Kid: So he won’t come back?! / We were going to apologise…

Honoka: Yeah, if he can sort out things at home he said he may come back.

Kid: I sorta…

Kid: Yeah.

Kid: Wish we became friends…

Naoki: I’ve come home, Father!!

Naoki: ‘The city’ was really great!!
