桐山(きりやま)零 これが僕の名前
That's my name.
大きな川沿いの小さな町で 僕は暮らしている
In a small town by a big river is where I live.
Class C1, 5-dan.
Ｃ級１組 五段 18歳
Eighteen years old.
Professional shogi player.
職業 プロ棋士
The clouds adorning the setting sun whispered "It's gonna be your turn next" into my ear
But now that they've grown tired of just killing time I'm sure I'll just be their scapegoat
But I'm the king of my very own world
I can even run on top of water
I'm the egg who can put itself back together again after a fall
And can even go on to become an astronaut
I'm sure if I pick up all the beads that rained from the sky and gather them up
Then one day I'll finally be able to plant a flag which signifies my very own liberty
So I pull on my ripped jeans and fight back the tears the draft brings
I exhale a big gulp of air and then another 'cause I'm a boxer rising up again
You only get one chance to come back from the brink
So pound on that door you painted yourself
The colorful ink disperses into two paths
But you're the one who decides how your flower blooms

（林田(はやしだ)）これ こうだろう こっちいくと…
Mutter
For me, this is pretty much my first club activity.
（零） 僕にとっては ほぼ初めての部活だ
（野口） う〜ん… これが こうで…
I could do this, but then my bishop would get captured, so...
でも そうすると 角が取られちゃうから…
I... I... I lost.
ま… ま… 負けました
Sigh
Slump
（野口）ま… 負けが こんなにも苦しいものだとは…
I-I didn't realize defeat could be this painful.
I-I won.
（太田）か… 勝った ハァハァ…
It's because I'm never subjected to such severe wins or losses in everyday life.
（野口） 日常では こんなにシビアに 勝ち負けを問われませんからね
And even worse, I must declare the loss myself.
しかも 自分から負けを見極めて 宣言しないといけないだなんて…
With three pawns, shift and slide the opponent's pieces
Even if I read the book and come up with a strategy,
With three pawns, shift and slide the opponent's pieces
しかも 本を読んで対策を練っても—
With three pawns, shift and slide the opponent's pieces
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
With three pawns, shift and slide the opponent's pieces
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
With three pawns, shift and slide the opponent's pieces
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
With three pawns, shift and slide the opponent's pieces
my opponent would most likely attack me in a different way,
大抵 相手は 本と違う攻撃をしてくるので—
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
A feisty knight will be eaten by a pawn
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
so I don't know what to do.
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
もう どうしたらいいか…
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
Strike rooks and bishops from a distance
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
Strike rooks and bishops from a distance
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
Strike rooks and bishops from a distance
The pawn below a gold is more solid than a rock
Shogi Proverb Cards
By Noguchi
As you can see, I even made shogi proverb cards.
このように 将棋格言カードまで作ったのに…
And if I come up with a plan, my opponent will have a countermeasure to my plan,
しかも 対策を練っても—
相手が また 対策の対策を立ててくるので—
そうすると こちらも—
forcing me to think of a countermeasure to their countermeasures to my original plan.
対策の対策の対策を 立てなければならず…
Bwaaa!
Ugh! There's no end to it, is there?
（野口） もう！ キリがないではないですか
Well, no, there's no end to it.
まあ… まあ キリは ありませんね
Naturally your opponent isn't going to go by the book,
当たり前ですが 相手は 本のとおりには動いてくれないので
so just be careful as you proceed.
大筋に気をつけながら進むんです
まず 棒銀(ぼうぎん)ならば 自分の 飛車が成ることが目標なので—
First, with Climbing Silver, your goal is to promote your rook, so please aim for that.
それを目指してください
As you do that, try not to let any of your pieces get captured.
その際 なるべく 自分の駒も取られないよう慎重に
（野口） ウウ… では 成ったあとは？
And after it's promoted?
The ultimate goal is to capture your opponent's king,
（零）相手の王さまを捕まえるのが 最終目標なわけですから—
so you should surround their king with as many of your pieces as possible.
なるべく多くの味方を連れて 相手の王さまを包囲していくんです
（銀将ニャーＡ）ニャー
（と金ニャーＡ） ニャー 先輩 援護するニャ！
I've got your back, sir!
心強いニャ
That's reassuring.
But if I move a lot of my pieces like that, I'll be leaving my own castle wide open.
（野口）でも 味方をたくさん連れていったら—
Bang
自分のお城が手薄に なってしまうんじゃないですか？
Bang
あ〜 気づいてしまいましたね そうなんです
You noticed that, huh?
Groan
You're right.
Groan
Hey, hey, hey!
Give us the king right meow!
王さま よこせ！ ニャニャ！ ニャー！
You'll never...
（銀将ニャー）王さまは… （２匹）絶対に守る！
...get our king!
It's because you only have a limited number of pieces.
（零）味方の数は限られますからね かといって—
That being said, if you only defend, you won't be effective at attacking.
守りばかりしてしまうと 攻めが足りないし
Dash
This is where I prove myself!

（銀将ニャーＣ） 僕も手柄を挙げるニャー！

Well, you'll just have to play a lot so that you can remember things.
（零）まあ あとは たくさん指して覚えていくしか…
Not only from books, but these days you can play online too,
本だけではなく 今は ネットで対戦とかもできるので—
家でも １人で気軽に楽しめま…
so you can enjoy playing at home in a relaxed—
（林田）桐山ーっ！
Kiriyama!
Can you beat the crap out of this guy for me?!
Point
（林田）こいつを ちょっと ビシッとやっちゃってくれよ
Point
At this rate, I'll lose!
このままじゃ 俺 負けちまうよ 次の一手 どうしたらいいのさ？
What should my next move be?!
I want to make this guy pay!
こいつをギャフンと 言わせてやりたいんだよ キ〜ッ…
Screech
（零）自分で考えてください （野口）フフッ…
Please think on your own.
Screech
What the hell? You're so cold, Kiriyama!
なんだよ！ 冷たいぞ 桐山！ お前 それでも 元俺の生徒か？
Cheapskate
Screech
Stingy
How can you do this to your old teacher?
Cheating is wrong.
（零）ズルはダメです
テストのとき カンニングしたら 先生は許すんですか？
Flail
Do you allow your students to cheat on tests?
Flail
No
No, right? You understand?
アウトでしょう 分かりますよね？
No
I don't want to listen to reason right now!
（林田）俺は そんな正論が 聞きたいんじゃないんだよ
It's not reason, it's the rules.
（零） 正論っていうかルールでしょう 子供じゃないんだから
You're not a child, you know.
Okay, let's keep playing.
（零）さあ どんどん指しましょう 負けることを あまり恐れずに
Don't be afraid of losing.
If you don't play a lot, you can't get a feel for it.
たくさん指さないと 勘は つかめませんから
負けに慣れろということですか？
Are you telling me to get used to losing?
No, don't get used to it.
慣れてもダメです
If you stop getting frustrated at losing, then you'll stop studying.
負けが悔しくなくなったら 勉強しなくなってしまうので
Question!
（太田） はい！ どのくらい強くなれば—
How good do I have to get before saying farewell to this frustration?
こんな悔しい気持ちと おさらばできますか？
Even if you improve, you'll still lose if you play someone who's better.
強くなっても もっと強い人と当たれば負けます
When that happens, it's so frustrating that it feels like your innards are turning upside down.
そうすれば やっぱり 内臓が ひっくり返るくらい悔しいです
What?!
It never ends?!
What?!
（林田･野口） キリないじゃないですか！
What?!
It doesn't. It's forever frustrating and forever painful.
（零）はい いつまでも悔しいし いつまでも苦しいです
Blunt
Except when you win.
（零）勝ったとき以外は （野口たち）ハッ…
Whisper
The better you get, the more bitter defeat tastes when you lose.
強くなればなるほど 負けたとき 悔しくなります
In fact, the more time you spend on it, the more frustrating it gets.
むしろ かけた時間の分だけ 負けると悔しいので—
The more you progress, the more frustrated you'll be.
進めば進むほど 悔しくなります
W-Wait a minute, Kiriyama!

It's tear grass tea made with the tear grass I acquired from the field behind the school.
校庭の裏の空き地で摘んだ ハトムギで作ったハトムギ茶ですぞ
野口よ 自給自足って本気だったんだな
You really are serious about self-sufficiency, huh?
I also have coffee made with dandelion roots.

Okay, I'll be quick!
（ポワロ） それが ５年前のことだった
That was five years ago.
変装せずに列車に乗っていたら—
If he'd boarded the train without disguising himself, he would've been recognized.

Kiriyama is already living his life as a professional?
桐山君は もう既に プロで 生活してらっしゃったのですか
He's already living in that harsh world of victories and defeats, huh?
あのシビアな勝ち負けの世界で 既に 桐山君は生きているのですね
Even the best player, Master Souya, has a winning percentage of 70%.
いちばん強い宗谷(そうや)名人だって 勝率は７割
10回に３回は負けてるんだよな
He loses three out of ten matches.

Souya
Kumakura
Second Match
（野口） あ〜 この方は存じております
Oh, I've heard of him.
He's won all seven major titles, right?
以前 七冠を取られた方ですよね？
So they're broadcasting his match live today, huh?
今日は その方の対局の中継なのですね
Yeah. It's the second match in the Master Tournament.
（林田）ああ 名人戦の第２局
In the first match, he lost to the challenger, Kumakura.
１局目は 挑戦者の隈倉(くまくら)に負けている
The better you get, the more bitter defeat tastes, huh?
強くなればなるほど 負けたときは悔しい …か
When somebody at this level loses,
じゃ この高さにいる人間が 負けたときって…
I wonder what's going on in their mind.
心の中は どんなことになってんだろうな
Oh, it's starting.
This is the first day of the second match for the 69th Master Tournament.
（アナウンサー） 第69期 名人戦 第２局 １日目です
（アナウンサー） まずは 今朝の—
Let's begin with the two players entering the room.
Challenger
Kumakura Kengo, 9-dan
両者入室のもようから ご覧ください
At 8:53 am, the challenger, Kumakura Kengo, 9-dan, entered the room.
まず ８時53分 挑戦者の 隈倉健吾(けんご)九段 入室しました
Souya Touji, Master
And then, at 8:55 am, Master Souya entered the room.
そして ８時55分に—
宗谷名人 入室
The match began at 9:00 am.
対局開始は 午前９時
まもなく 第２局開始です
In just a moment, the second match will begin.
Souya looks like he's having fun.
（柳原(やなぎはら)） 楽しそうだね 宗谷君 妬(や)けるなぁ
I'm jealous.
Well, just be patient.
（神宮寺(じんぐうじ)）まあまあ 待ってなって
（神宮寺）棋匠(きしょう)戦になりゃ 宗谷のほうから—
Souya will be coming for you in the Shogi Maestro Tournament.
会いに来てくれるさ 挑戦者としてな
As the challenger.
Scary.
（柳原） ホホホッ… こわっ… 楽しみだね
But I'm looking forward to it.
Souya has a cute face, but he'll come to snap my bones.
宗谷君 かわいい顔して 骨砕きに来るからね
あ〜 怖い怖い
Whew, talk about scary.
Well, that's because the casual moves you make mock your opponent.
（神宮寺） そりゃ あんたがヒラヒラと—
からかうような手を 指すからでしょう
Mock?
（柳原）からかってなんて… 俺は いつでも真剣ですよ
I'm always serious when I play.
Oh, sorry.
（神宮寺）あ〜 ごめん 真剣に からかってんだよね
I meant you seriously mock your opponent.
（柳原） ハハハハッ… 正面切って—
If I can win a slugfest, then I'll start throwing punches.
殴り合って勝てるんなら 殴るけどね
But now it's tough on me physically.
もう体力的にキツイもんね
何せ こちとら 還暦前ですから 死んじまうっつうの
After all, I'm about to hit sixty.
I'll probably croak in the ring.
When your opponent goes all-out, you don't get hurt.
思いっきり技をかけてもケガしない
When you hit him with everything you've got, he returns your blows at the same level.
全力で殴っても 同じくらいの力で 殴り返してきてくれる
Souya is happy to have an opponent like that in Kumakura.
そりゃ 宗谷も隈倉に当たるのは うれしかろうよ
And vice versa, Kumakura with Souya.
そして それは 隈倉にしたって同じこと
あいつら お互いに お互いが—
They're both thinking that their opponent is a toy that won't break no matter how hard they spin it around.
相手のことを 力いっぱい ぶん回しても—
壊れない おもちゃだと 思ってるからな
（林田） しっかし 画(え)になるな この２人
Jeez, these two make such a perfect picture.
It ran across my mind.
（零）ふと思った
島田(しまだ)さんも 今どこかで—
Right now,
Shimada must be watching these two from somewhere.
この２人の姿を 見守っているのだろうか
西陽(にしび)で朱(あか)く染まった教室で—
When viewed from a classroom dyed red by the setting sun,
the person on the screen...
画面の中の その人は…
appeared to be smiling slightly.
かすかに笑っているように見えた

Ramune
（野口）ウワ〜ッ… （太田）て… 手づかみですよ
H-He's eating with his hands!
Dang
Man, he killed three pieces of cake in mere seconds!
Dang
（林田） すっげえ ケーキ３コ 瞬殺だよ
Dang
He gobbled them up, just like that.
Dang
（野口）ペロリですよ ペロリ
Dang
And his eyes were locked on the board the whole time!
しかも 目は ガッツリ 盤をにらんだまま
Such splendor.
なんと豪快な…
Still, this is an interesting scene.
それにしても 不思議なシーンですね
Right in the middle of a serious match, with the combatants in kimonos, snacks suddenly appear.
こんな真剣に 和服でビシッと戦ってる最中に—
いきなり おやつですからね
しかも それが 全国に中継されてしまうという…
And it's being broadcast across the nation.
Well, the brain uses the most energy of all the organs in the body.
（林田）まあ 脳が体の中で いちばんの大食いの器官だからな
And glucose is the only nourishment it can get.
しかも ブドウ糖しか栄養にできなくて…
In shogi, you need your brain firing on all cylinders.
将棋なんて その脳だけを フル回転させてるわけだからな
And so, what is Souya...
でもって 宗谷は…
脳！ 直でエネルギー補充 来た！
He's supplementing the energy in his brain directly!
How many sugar cubes was that?!
角砂糖 何コ入れたよ？ 今 しかも レモン３枚 イン！
And three slices of lemon?!
Citric acid to recover from fatigue and sugar for brain energy.
（野口）疲労回復のクエン酸と 脳エネルギーの糖分 率直すぎる
It's too straightforward! He truly is a Master!

Sounds good
Cake, huh?
Sounds good
（柳原）う〜わ〜…
Wow.
ケーキ３つ 瞬殺 いい食べっぷりだな 隈ちゃん
Three pieces of cake, wolfed down.
Kuma has some appetite.
He's already famous for it on these tournament broadcasts.
もう既に名物だよな 名人戦中継の
Quite the appetite on him.
この食いっぷり 絶対 おやつタイム 映すもんな
They always show the "snack time."
（柳原）しかも また隈ちゃん 飲みっぷりもハンパないからな
And he can put away the booze too.
This is the man who ate cakes while emptying a bottle of sweet potato shochu.
ケーキつまみに 芋焼酎ボトル１本 空けた男だぜ
Does that even go together?
（神宮寺）うわ 合うの？ それ 合わんだろう
I bet it doesn't!
On the other hand, we've got Souya.
それに引き換え 宗谷と来たら…
ハッ… なんとも味気ない男だね
Now there's a dull man.
しかも あれ 角砂糖だと思うだろう？
You thought they were sugar cubes, didn't you?
（柳原）えっ？ 違うの？ （神宮寺）フフフフッ… ブドウ糖
What? They aren't?
Pure glucose.
What the hell?
（柳原）うわぁ なによ それ ただの餌じゃんか 脳の
He's just feeding his brain, then.
How bland can you get?
ホントに味気ねえな
らしいけどさ ハハハハッ…
Although that's just like him.
I guess they sell that now at drug stores and convenience stores in soft cubed form.
（神宮寺）なんか今 売ってんだよ 柔らかく四角く固めたやつ
薬局とかコンビニで
（柳原）あ〜 詳しいね
You know a lot about it.
Souya asked me to pick some up when we were in Kyoto.
（神宮寺）頼まれたんだよ 宗谷に この間 京都で
He said he ate what he had and asked me to get more.
全部 食っちまったから 買ってきてって
Kyoto?
京都… あっ 獅子王(ししおう)戦か
Oh, the Lion King Tournament.
Against Shimada...
島田との
He must've used a lot of brain power and stamina to take down Shimada.
（神宮寺） 島田をねじ伏せるのに—
相当 頭と体力を 使ったってことだな
Although at 4-0, he made it look easy.
４−０で余裕に見えたがな
（柳原）追われるほうも必死 …か
I guess even the titleholder is desperate.
69th Master Tournament
Second Match
End
（野口）脳は大食いか
So the brain uses the most energy, huh?
Oh, Kiriyama.
そうだ 桐山君 ラムネって 何でできてるか知ってますか？
Do you know what ramune is made of?
Huh?
えっ？ あっ いえ…
Uh, no.
Glucose and starch.
ブドウ糖とデンプンです
Glucose?
（零）ブドウ糖？
And it's easy to make.
（野口） しかも 作れるんですよ 簡単に
Would you like to try making some?
作ってみますか？ １日目の中継も終わったことですし
The first day's broadcast is over anyway.
We should have some ingredients left over.
確か まだ材料の残りがあったはず
Why do we have that?
（林田）なんで また そんな物(もん)が？
We did an experimental food sampler for last year's bazaar.
（野口）去年のバザーで 実験試食会をしたんですよ
う〜ん… ホント 納豆といい 稲作といい ハトムギ茶といい—
Natto, rice, and tear grass tea...
I swear, all you guys do is eat.
お前ら なんか食ってばっかりじゃないの
（野口）ハハハハッ… 科学ですよ 科学の一環としてですよ
It's science.
All part of science.
Today's Science
Science in 20 Minutes
Homemade
Ramune
First, you sift finely-crushed glucose.
（野口） まずは 細かく砕いたブドウ糖を よく ふるいに かけます
Then you put potato starch and water in a beaker.
ビーカーに片栗粉(かたくりこ)と水と…
But only that would be bland, so let's add some citric acid.
これだけだと味気ないので クエン酸を入れましょう
A sour flavor is refreshing in your mouth.
酸っぱいと 口が すっきりしますからね
And citric acid is also effective against fatigue.
クエン酸は疲労にも効きますからね
Just a little
Then you mix it and heat it up a bit.
…で 混ぜ合わせ 少々加熱します
そんなに少しでいいのか？ クエン酸って
That's all the citric acid you need?
Even a minuscule amount like this is extremely sour.
（野口）これはね 少量でも—
（野口）超酸っぱいんですよ （零）ほう ほう…
（野口） …で ブドウ糖に少しずつ混ぜて
After that, you mix in the glucose little by little.
もんで もんで ギュッとして
Knead, knead, and then squeeze it!
はい 出来上がり！
And we're done!
Bam
What?
（零）えっ？ （林田）もう？
Already?
（野口） こうやって小さく切り分けて 自然乾燥させれば完璧(かんぺき)です
Slice it into small pieces like this, let it dry naturally, and it's ready to eat.
（零）うわぁ…
It hasn't hardened yet, but go ahead.
（野口） まだ固まりきってませんが どうぞ
おお ホントだ ラムネだ
It really is ramune.
Wow! So this is how ramune is made!
すごい！ ラムネって こんなふうにできてるんだ？
Your delightful surprise makes the experiment worthwhile, Kiriyama.
（野口）桐山君は すごいびっくりしてくれるので

じゃ 重曹を入れた物も 作ってみますか？
Well, shall we make some with baking soda too?
Baking soda?
（零）重曹？
Sodium bicarbonate. It's carbonic acid.
（野口） 炭酸水素ナトリウム 炭酸ですな
We can make it fizzy like soda.
コーラみたいに シュワシュワしますぞ
Can I try making some?
僕 やってみていいですか？
Go right ahead.
どうぞどうぞ ハハハハッ…
Very nice, Kiriyama.
いいですね 桐山君
It seems you've come to appreciate the wonders of science.
科学のすばらしさを 分かっていただけてきたようですな
This is science?
これって科学なの？
Of course.
もちろんです 何をおっしゃいますことやら
What else would it be?
（零）…と （野口）そうそう
There you go.
Oh, don't put in too much water.
あっ 水入れ過ぎはダメですよ
There it is. Now mix it...
（野口） そうです …で 混ぜて混ぜて
Um, about this much?
（零）え〜っと… このくらい？
Kiriyama, are you actually clumsy with this stuff?
（林田）桐山 お前 意外と ぶきっちょなのか？
（太田）ちょっと多いですかね （零）あれ？
That might be a little too much.
H-Huh?
You can do it!
（林田）頑張れ 頑張れ
Was that too much water?
Science in 20 Minutes
（零）水 多すぎた？
Kiriyama, are you a little kid?
（林田）桐山 お前 子供か？
Why are both of your hands moving in the same direction?
なんで右手と左手 同じ方向に動くわけ？
I bet you can't draw a square with your right hand while drawing a triangle with your left hand.
お前さ 右手で四角 左手で三角 同時に描くのできないだろう？
I-I can do that!
（零）で… できますよ！ （林田）ホントか？
Are you sure?
Don't worry, Kiriyama.
（野口）桐山君 大丈夫 ブドウ糖を足せばいいだけです
All you have to do is add more glucose.
You can save it yet.
復旧できますよ
Huh?
（零）あれ？ 何だ？ これ
What is this?
I'm participating in a club activity.
俺 部活やってる
I'm laughing and talking...
笑って しゃべってる
at school.
学校で
Now, let's give it a taste test.
（野口） さあ 食べてみましょう 桐山君
Kiriyama.
The ramune is sweet,
（零）ラムネは 甘くて
and it falls apart...
口に入れたら ホロホロと崩れて
when I put it in my mouth.
胸いっぱいに溶けていった
As it melted, I felt a lump in my throat.
（林田）ウ〜ン… 桐山 こりゃ 重曹入りのほうが断然うまいな
Kiriyama, the ones with the baking soda are definitely the best.
As expected, these are more refreshing.
（野口） こちらのほうが 爽やかさが 出ますな やはり ハハハハッ…
（零）うっかりすると 目から何かが出そうだったけど—
If I wasn't careful, it felt like something was going to leak from my eyes, so I used every ounce of will to hold it in.
それは 死ぬ気で ふんばった
Um, could I take this home?
（零）あの… これ もらって帰ってもいいですか？
I wrapped the remaining ramune in a scrap of notebook paper...
（零）残ったラムネは ノートの切れ端に包んで…
and put it in my bag.
カバンに入れた
I thought Hina and Momo would enjoy it if I shared some with them.
ひなちゃんとモモちゃんにあげたら 喜ぶかもしれないと思ったから
I'll go visit them.
会いに行こう あの橋を渡って
I'll cross that bridge,
and then...
そして…
It's Rei!
（モモ）零ちんだ！
（零）ラムネの作り方を… （ひなた）あ〜 零ちゃんだ！
How to make ramune...
Oh, it's Rei!
（零）部活の話を…
My club activities...
About Noguchi...
（零）野口先輩の話を… （モモ）フフフフッ…
About Mr. Hayashida...
（零）先生の話を…
（ひなた）フフッ… いらっしゃい
Welcome!
I wanted to tell them...
（零）聞いてもらいたいと…
all about it.
思ったんだ
I wonder why I'm smiling
The night wears on as I trace it with a finger
In the oversized nooks of this world
My heart continues to melt away
Like the petals of a flower repelling the rain yet refusing to wither
All the things important to me have spilled out
Before I knew it I was all alone and I'd walked a great distance
I'd forgotten what my own voice really sounded like
And it was the strangest feeling
After dawn broke on that long night
I remembered as if it were all a dream
I gave myself up to that nostalgic eternity
And it seems like I can go on walking again
（あかり）まあ！
Oh my.
あ〜ん…
（あかり）ウ〜ン…
It's fizzy!
シュワシュワするね どう？ モモ
How is it, Momo?
（モモ）ウ〜ン！
Rei and his friends made it.
（あかり） 零ちゃんたちが作ったんだって
うわぁ！ すごい！ 私も作ってみたいな
Wow! I want to try making it too!
Rei, could you teach me how?
零ちゃん 教えてくれる？
Sure, of course.
（零）うん もちろん
Fizzy!
シュワシュワ〜！
Ramune
Next Episode Preview
Why?! Unbelievable!
Episode 24
（二海堂(にかいどう)） なぜだ！ 解(げ)せぬ！
This is good. This is bad.
（後藤(ごとう)）〝これはいい これはダメ〞
Are you the one who decides all that?
全部 お前が決めんの？
Humans are the embodiment of chaos.
（零） 人間は混沌(こんとん)そのものだ
I don't want to support either of them.
（柳原）どっちも 持ちたくねえな
I don't think even Souya would know what to do anymore.
（辻井(つじい)） なんか きっと—
分かんなく なっちゃったんでしょう
宗谷君も
Ugh... Idiot.
（香子(きょうこ)） もう… バカ！

Please look forward to the next episode of "March comes in like a lion."
（零） 「３月のライオン」 次回も お楽しみに
Rei, thank you! Ramune is really delicious, huh?
（ひなた） 零ちゃん ありがとう
ラムネ すっごくおいしいね！
（モモ） シュワシュワ〜！
