And the effort to catch up begins in earnest again. This time with the memory of my fallen comrade engraved in my heart, I make a dash towards the end.
-First chapter is out.
-Schedule for releases has been established.
-Schedule is fairly consistent.
No asking when the next one will be out, ask me for permission before using, no non-English scantlations before an English one is done, and I give preference to those who will check the script for accuracy before scantlating.
Chapter 14: Inheritor.
Meinfisu: That’s enough you two.
I don’t like overly gory fights.
(Side text- At the shuffle game’s climax, the strongest clash!!)
(Side text- Series climax with an extended 22 pages!!)
KOUKUSHI MUSOU!!
Moloch: What’s the deal Meinfisu.
Meinfisu: Just poking my nose in.
Ro: He managed to stop our fists….
TAJIMA KAZUKI.
002
Dude: Hey Meinfisu!!
Don’t stop them!!
It makes things easier for us if those two monsters knock each other out!!
Yeah!!
Meinfisu: Then would you like to take me on?
See, I’m all about pacifism.
I do really dislike strife.
So how about you stop fighting?
Though if you really insist on continuing this deathmatch,
Then I’ll use whatever means to stop you without causing any more bloodshed.
003
Meinfisu: So what will you do?
Moloch: Hmph.
Looks like your life gets extended a little Ro uei.
There will be other times to kill you.
(Sfx- Bahh *fwaap*)
Moloch: Heheheheh…
(Sfx- Tan *tap*)
Moloch: So have fun…while it lasts.
???: L—looks like Moloch is backing off…
Dude: Meinfisu isn’t some nobody, that’s for sure.
(Sfx- Gyuun *throb*)
Dude: Just watchin’ em scared me enough for my balls to drop.
004
Meinfisu: Looks like things worked out after all huh?
(Sfx- Fuhh *phew*)
Ro: Hmph. You stuck your noe where it doesn’t belong…s
So don’t expect me to thank you.
Meinfisu: Heheh. I don’t mind really.
Though it is rare to see you get worked up over….anything really.
Ro: I wasn’t really.
(Sfx- Gyuuhh *grind*)
Ro: Just killing some time.
Kujaku: Hey there you all….!
This isn’t the sorta game where you all can loiter around.
Meinfisu: Master Kujaku!
(Sfx- Hyoi *wifft*)
005
Kujaku: This game wasn’t designed for you to take your time getting to know each other.
Time to enter the lightning round.
Guys: T—the ground is rumbling again!
People: Eh?!
What th—the threads are snapping!!
We’ve gotta keep moving from rope to rope or we’ll fall!!
(Sfx- Bogohhh Boghooh *dosssh dsssh*)
006
All: Uwaaaaaaaah!!
The rocks are falling!!
Climb!! Climb faster!!
Dammit!! This is completely screwed up!!
Meinfisu: Ro-kun! We’ve got to hurry!
Ro: Y—yeah.
(Sfx- Chirahh *glare*)
Ro: Looks like this is as far as I can help you.
(Sfx- Tan *tap*)
007
Kid: Really?!
Then you used to be partnered with Ro huh?
Samo: Yeah, but I was really just dragging him down the whole time.
Kid: I’m positive it wasn’t like that Samo! You’re really strong! I’ve seen it for myself!
Samo: Well, that was more your strategy Kid-kun.
Kid: But if you weren’t there Samo, my plan woulda failed for sure.
(Handwritten- Yup)
Samo: I—its not like that…
Kid: I know Samo! Once we get to the goal…
How about you be my partner?
008
Samo: M—
Me? You want me as your—
(Sfx- Dokunnn *throb*)
Samo: B..But..
If you team up with me, you’re sure to fall behind…
Kid: Hey man, quit saying that! You need more self confidence!
You’re gonna team up with me and we’re gonna stomp Ro flat!!
He’s gonna regret not teaming up with you Samo!
He might be MVP of this game but he’s gonna regret messing with us!
And after that we’ll progress through the tests like they’re nothing!
We’re gonna make the whole class eat our dust!!
Samo: He—he’s far too greedy!!
Kid: And then surely…
009
Kid: We’ll get the scroll of secrets from the elder…
And get out of here together!!
{Scroll of secrets….!!}
Samo: Ugh…
Kid: What’s up Samo?!
010
Samo: I overdid it in that fight against Saikei….
Kid: Hey Samo!!
{But…}
Samo: It’s nothing!!
Lets’ go!! If we don’t get out of here quickly we’ll fail the game!!
Kid: Y—yeah!!
{It’s not a big deal at all!! Even without the use of my left leg…}
{This is a piece of cake!!}
Samo: …The ground is rumbling…?
011
People: GYAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Kid: What is this?!
What’s going on up there?!
Samo: The threads are beginning to snap at their roots…!!
We have to hurry up and get out of here or there won’t be anything to climb!!
Kid: Wh…
Whaaat?!!
012
Kid: We’ve gotta hurry then!!
Lets get out of here!!
(Sfx- Guraaah *clatter*)
Samo: Kid-kun!! Look out!!
Kid: ….Eh?!
Samo: Guhh…
(Sfx- Tann *tap*)
013
Samo: Koutou rouken!!
Samo: ggggh!!
Kid: Samo!!!
014
Kid: Hah…hah…
That was too close…
S—Samo…hurry and grab the thread…
W—we’re gonna fall…!!
Samo: I’m sorry Kid-kun…
I can’t move my arm or leg…
Kid: Samo…!!
Your hand…
Samo: They’re broken now it seems…
I don’t have the strength to grab the thread anymore…
015
Kid: Wh—what are you saying?!
Don’t give up on me!!
We’re supposed to be a team!!!
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Samo: I thank you for inviting me to team up with you…I’m overjoyed that you’d acknowledge me.
But I can’t team up with you.
My dream was to become Ro’s true partner.
In order to make that dream come true I worked really hard.
{From today on your partner will be Ro uei.}
016
{You’ve got some guts after all.}
{Someone as crappy at this as you are has no hope of getting the scroll of secrets.}
{You have to loosen your waist more idiot. Quit stiffening up!!}
{You have to read more books to get the basics.}
{If you want to get the scroll of secrets you’ve got to read this much at least.}
Samo: Even Ro-kun, if you watch him closely enough has his gentle side.
(Sfx- Gaahh *thk*)
(Sfx- Gaaah *thk*)
Samo: It was he who acknowledged me first.
That’s why I always wanted to be Ro-kun’s friend..!!
017
{But what Ro-kun wants isn’t ‘friendship’…}
{As someone who’s been watching him…I know this best.}
Samo: Kid-kun! I have a favor to ask you….!!
You have to become Ro-kun’s ‘partner’!
Kid: Wh…what are you saying Samo?!
The stuff your’re talking about doesn’t make sense!!
Samo: My body has reached it’s limit…
So I want to entrust you with my dream.
018
Samo: Please…do it for me…
Kid-kun.
Kid: SAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
019
???: Roll call!!
1
2
3
4…
And it appears 21 people have cleared the first game!!
That’s all of you!!
Before we can enter the next game there needs to be insurance that there are an even amount of people! So one of you has to fail….and that would be the last one here!!
That’s you Gihyou!!
Gihyou: What?! Me?! Are you serious?
Geez. I guess it wasn’t a good idea to take a nap before the finish line huh?
(Handwritten- Man oh man.)
(Handwritten- Hey!)
Kujaku: Are you sure your head is working like it should?
Moloch: Hmph. This is pointless.
Dude: Gihyou is in the upper class but he’s still a moron.
Girl: Wahahah.
Sengyoku: More importantly I would like a shower.
I’ve been covered in sweat and smell like a commoner.
(Handwritten- It’s hot.)
020
Guy: That was close Mugi-chan. You were second to last.
Mugi: I—I’m sure glast Gihyou-kun was here…
Ro: So they fell huh?
Kujaku: So Kid failed huh? But I can’t exactly say anything to stick up for him….
Now, as for the 20 of you who managed to pass the first game…
I’d like to commend you for your success…
???: Wait!!!
People: …! Who’s that?!
No way…
(Sfx- Gahh *thuk*)
021
(Sfx- Zehh *hah)
(Sfx- Zeeh *hah*)
Kid: I’m right here.
Mugi: Kid-kun!!
Gihyou: Oooh!! It’s you newbie!! You saved my ass!!
Mugi: Kid-kun!! Thank goodness, I thought you were done for…!!
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Mugi: Kid-kun…where’s Samo-kun…?
022
Kid: Samo..
Fell.
(Sfx- Guhhh *grind*)
{But…}
Kid: His will is right here!!
And I will make his dream come true…!!
{The Shuffle game’s first trial ‘The spider’s thread’!}
{Amount of contestants who cleared, 22!}
(Side text- With his friend’s wishes in his heart, the first game is cleared!! Next time we enter a new chapter!!)
