p.72
Aoe: ——You’re surprisingly
Aoe: Fast.

Sis: ...You’re not using that big sword?*
*[You can also call it a greatsword or something if you want lol]
SFX: Fshh

SFX: snap
Aoe: Don’t worry ‘bout it—


p.73
Aoe: I was just thinking of using it right now.

Chapter 7
Aggravation

Sis: ...Yeah,

Sis: You don’t have to get all excited or anything——


p.74

SFX: Whoosh

Sis: Tch

Aoe: ——Hehe

p.78

Sis: Kuh!!

Aoe: ......I felt
Aoe: ...That hit, didn’t I?


p.79

Sis: ...I see.
Sis: The transforming sword on the right is a sub-armament that needs time to charge, while the wakizashi on the left is the main armament.

Sis: How it charges is by returning to the sheathed position...
Sis: Never mind the wakizashi, but the blade-proof specs of my coat won’t mean anything to the large sword.


p.80
Sis: !

Aoe: Here.
Aoe: You forgot something.

Sis: Yeah, I let you cut it off on purpose.
Aoe: LIES
Aoe: It’s too imprudent to defend after looking at it first.
——You’re weak.

Aoe: The Artisans that I* heard about weren’t anything like this.
*[She uses the masculine “ore” to refer to herself]


p.81
Aoe: You’re experts that were raised to be exclusively specialized in using Katana...
Aoe: ——Aren’t you?

Sis: ...Who knows.

Sis: The rumor could have taken a life of its own.*
*[open to any other suggestions >.>]
Sis: Besides, I don’t like that topic very much.

Sis: There’s something I’d like to ask as well.


p.82
Sis: “Aoe”
Sis: Why are you here in front of me? Are you a disciple or something of the “father”?

Aoe: ——Sigh

Aoe: What a stupid question. I’m just a hired hand.

Sis: Then that means you don’t have any information about the father or automaton, right?
Aoe: What kind of question is that?
Aoe: Something like that hardly matters at all in this situation.


p.83
Aoe: Would it mean anything even if I [ i]did[ /i] know something?
Aoe: There’s no way to completely grasp the work of the countless swordsmiths.

Aoe: Maybe automatons are unexpectedly proliferating somewhere you guys don’t know about, eh?

Sis: ...Is that so.
Then one final question.
Sis: Are you a man inside?


p.84
Aoe: ——Ha!
Aoe: Unfortunately

Aoe: I’m burning up.

Aoe: Final armament
Aoe: Commence expansion


p.89
Aoe: !!

Aoe: The arm that was cut off...
Aoe: Worthless

Sis: “Tsurumaru”

Aoe: ...Shit!

SFX: thud

Sis: Like I said,
I let you cut it off on pur——

Aoe: ...I see.

Aoe: That was splendid!

Sis: Pose

Sis: ...H—
Huh?
Sis: Self-destruction?


p.92

Sis: ——Like that could be...

Sis: Yeah, Tsuki-chan, I’m done over here.
Sis: The enemy... I’m sorry, but she seems to have gotten away. I’ll head over to assist Togusa.

Sis: ——Let’s hurry.

p.96
Gramps: The kicks of the “Heshikiri Hasebe”* are different from ordinary kicks.
*[Hacking Hasebe]
SFX: thud

Gramps: It surrounds itself with a “wall”.
Gramps: Feeble defenses are meaningless.

Gramps: In any case,

Gramps: What are you?

Gramps: You seem human but are not.
Gramps: No, first of all that distinction is difficult. Though your body is unmistakably that of a human...


p.97
Gramps: Intriguing.
Gramps: Won’t you let me disassemble you?

His attacks are similar to those of Kogarasu Maru of the second squad...
I won’t stand a chance with my standard equipment.

SFX: thud

Gramps: Well, before that—
SFX: drag...


p.98

Girl: Already...


p.99

Gramps: But still...
Gramps: This is a vermin you took home... I’m exterminating, you know?
Girl: .........

Girl: ...I was—

Girl: Kidnapped and only went out to the world outside... and
Girl: My heart never left you.

Girl: Those people were only dragged into this.
Please forgive them,
“Dad.”


p.100

Gramps: I see,
I see.
Gramps: But I wonder. Weren’t you speaking of your admiration towards the outside world just now?

Girl: That was...

Gramps: No, no, I was being mean.
Gramps: You were probably just upset that I brought you back so suddenly.
I’m sorry, Hahagiri.


p.101
Togs: That’s not it.

Togs: Hahagiri,
Didn’t you say that one time,
Togs: Didn’t you choose out of your own will that one time?

Togs: That’s why I’m here now.


p.102
Togs: Don’t you want to get out?
Togs: You aren’t a doll.
You can speak of your own desires.

Togs: Because if there is somehow who stands in the way who will not allow that,
Togs: I came here to shut that person up.


p.103
Togs: Hahagiri
Togs: I’ll ask you one more time.
What do you wish for?

Girl: ——I...

Girl: I
Girl: Still
Girl: Want to be to be in that world.


p.104
SFX: wham
Girl?: !!

Gramps: Don’t hoodwink my daughter
Gramps: Vermin.

Togs: And don’t [ i]you[ /i] pretend you’re a father
Togs: Asshole.*
*[kuso yarou, can be replaced with anything...]


p.105
Gramps: Unharmed...?

Togs: I don’t really like to say an inscription put on me out loud,
Togs: But I’m in no shape to be complaining.

Togs: “Yatsuka no Tsurugi”


p.106
Gramps: “Yatsuka no Tsurugi”...!?*
*[lit. eight grip sword]
Gramps: “Togusa”...

A person to a katana...
A katana combining will and power, one that evens out everything—

Gramps: “Togusa no Kandakara”!?*
*[Something like ten godly treasures, slight corruption of “tokusa no kandakara” which are ten votive offerings housed in Isonokami Shrine, including the Yatsuka no Tsurugi... more info on google]
Gramps: Don’t tell me she’d completed it—
Amamiya Kyouko!
