Panel 1
常春の国マリネラ
A country of everlasting spring, Malynera.

Panel 2
以上が閣議のあらましです
This it the outline for the previously mentioned cabinet meeting.

Panel 3
ふーむ すると国務大臣は新型ミサイルの導入に反対なんだな
Hmm, so the Minister of the State is opposed to introducing a new type of missile.

いえ賛成です
No, he approves.

Panel 4
えっ？長々と反対意見をのべたんじゃないのか？
Eh? Didn't he express a dissenting opinion for a long time?

Panel 5
反対すべき理由は多々あるが 閣議決定にしたがうのにやぶさかでないことはないという意見です
Although there's many reasons to oppose it, he wasn't willing to go against the cabinet's decision.

95
Panel 1
ちょっと待て。それじゃどうして賛成派の大蔵大臣ともめたりしたんだ
Wait a minute. So then why did he have an argument with the Minister of Finance's supportive group?

いえ 大蔵大臣は反対派です
No, the Minster of Finance opposed it

Panel 2
なにい？！
Whaat?!

Panel 3
大蔵大臣の意見はですね
The Minister of Finances' opinion was...

Panel 4
新型ミサイルの導入は わが国の軍事力の増強に画期的な効果を及ぼすものであり 大蔵省としてもそのための財源確保に可能なかぎり前向きの姿勢でのぞみたいと考える
As for bringing in a new type of missile would have a groundbreaking result of reinforcing the military strength of our country, and as the Ministry of Finance I would like to go forward with a positive attitude and make it possible to secure a source of funds for it.

Panel 5
賛成じゃないか
Isn't that supportive?

反対ですよ
No, he opposed it.

Panel 6
どこが反対なんだ！わけのわからんことを言うな！
Where did he oppose it?! Don't talk nonsense!

わからんのは殿下の方です
Your Highness is the one who doesn't understand.

Panel 7
財源確保という言葉は大蔵省には 今そんな予算はないという意味なんです
These Ministry of Finance said "secure a source of funds", which means it's not in the budget now.

96
Panel 1
可能なかぎり前向きの姿勢でというのは まあ不可能だろうけどやってみよう。しかしたぶん予算は回せないぞという意味です
"I would like to go forward with a positive attitude and make it possible" means, well, it's impossible but let's try. But it probably means we won't have the budget.

Panel 2
じゃあ 反対なんじゃないか
Then, isn't he against it?

そうですよ
Yes.

Panel 3
反対なら反対と言えばいいだろう！まわりくどい！
If he's against it he should say he's against it! That's indirect!

政治家はこういう言葉使いをするんですよ
Politicians talk like this.

Panel 4
かせっ！
Give that to me!

バッ！
Ba! - Bam!

Panel 5
やぶさかでないということもないという意見も考えられるがその最終的判断においては粛々と鋭意調査すべき問題をはらんでいるという状況下のあにはからんや
Although we're not necessarily ready to do it in my opinion, we should quietly and earnestly investigate possible unexpected situations for me to make my final judgment.

Panel 6
わからんわい！！
I don't get this!!

バサッ！
Basa! - Rustle!

97
Panel 1
大臣たちに もっとわかりやすい言葉を使うように通達を出せ！
Send out a notification to the ministers to use more intelligible language!

Panel 2
ずっとこれでやってきたんだから無理ですよ
It would be impossible to do that after all this time.

Panel 3
それより殿下がむずかしい言葉に慣れた方が早いでしょう
More importantly, it would be faster for Your Highness to get used to difficult language.

そーだそーだ
Yes, yes.

Panel 4
そうか。。。
I see...

Panel 5
よし いい機会だ。あたためていたアイデアを実行に移そう
All right, this is a good opportunity. I'll put into practice a pet project of mine.

えっ？！
Eh?!

Panel 6
まずいことを言ってしまったかな？！
Did we say something bad?!

何をするつもりなんです！
What do you plan on doing?!

Panel 7
速読術というのを知ってるだろう
I know a speed reading technique.

はっ？
Huh?

98
Panel 1
ああ 訓練しだいで本をものすごく早く読めるようになるってやつですね
Aah, you're saying to train people to be able to read books extremely fast.

パラパラ
Para para - Rustle rustle

Panel 2
パラパラパラパラ
Para para para para - Rustle rustle rustle rustle

Panel 3
バーッ
Baa - Vroo

Panel 4
あーおもしろかった
Aah, that was interesting.

そうだ。ぼくは その変形で速解術というのができないかと考えたのだ
Yes. I thought I would modify it for speed-comprehension.

速解術？！
Speed-comprehension?!

Panel 5
相手の言葉を早く理解する技術だ。つまり 現代人は時間に追われていて 一分一秒もむだにはできない
It's a technique for understanding someone else' words early. In short, modern people are under the pressure of time, and need to make every second count.

Panel 6
もし 相手が30語で意味を伝えようとしている時最初の二・三語で内容を理解できれば 時間がそれだけ節約できる
When someone is going to convey their meaning in 30 words, if you can understand the contents in a few words at the start you can save a lot of time.

そんなことができるんですか？！
Is that possible to do that?!

99
Panel 1
できるともたとえば
It's possible, for example.

やあ 今日はいいお天気ですね
Yo, the weather is nice today.

Panel 2
という場合の「やあ」と
In this case, when I say, "Yo"

やあ
Yo

Panel 3
やあ こないだは仕事でお世話になりました
Yo, thanks for helping me at work the other day.

Panel 4
という場合の「やあ」とは微妙にイントネーションがちがうわけだ
and this case when I say, "Yo" there's a subtly different intonation.

はあ
Yeah.

Panel 5
この微妙な差異を体系だてて研究すれば 最初の「やあ」を聞いただけで相手の言いたいことが推理できるようになる
If you study the subtle differences in this system, you can infer what the other person wants to say just by hearing the first "Yo".

Panel 6
さらにつきつめて研究すれば初めの言葉が「ああ」でも「よお」でも「へも」でも速解が可能になるのだ！
Furthermore, if you follow that thought and study thoroughly, it's possible to speed comprehend words like, "Aah", "Yo" or "Heh"!

Panel 7
ええっ それはすごい！
Eeh, that's amazing!

ほんとに可能ならですが！
It really is possible!

ぼくの辞書に不可能と気前がいいという文字はなーい！
There's nothing that's impossible for my dictionary!

ワッハッハッ
Wahaha

100
Panel 1
よし さっそくコンピューターを駆使して教則本作りを開始しよう！
All right, I'll start using the computer to make a manual immediately!

シュイーン
Shiin - Swoosh

Panel 2
大丈夫かな。殿下が何か新しいことを始めるとろくなことにならないからな
It's this okay? His Highness it starting something new.

Panel 3
爆発する危険性のあり機械とかじゃないから心配はいらないと思うが
Since it's not a bomb or dangerous machine I don't think you need to worry.

でも殿下のことだ。教則本が爆発するかもしれないぞ
But it's His Highness. The manual will probably explode.

Panel 4
そんなバカな
That's ridiculous.

ハッハッ
Ha ha

Panel 5
と言いきれないところがこわい
I can't say it for certain but it's scary.

ウーム
Yeah

Panel 6
三日後
Three days later.

Panel 7
できた！
I made it!

101
Panel 1
前代未聞前人未踏空前絶後の速解術がわずか三日でできた
われながら自分の才能がおそろしい
Unprecedented, unexplored the first and last speed-comprehension was made in just three days.
I'm fearfully talented if I do say so myself.

Panel 2
つまりここをこうしてああして。。。なるほど神経を脳のこの部分に集中させればいいわけだな
In short, it goes like this... I see, so you just need to focus the senses on this portion of the brain.

教則本
Manual

はっ？！
Huh?!

102
Panel 1
ええっ？！殿下 どうしてぼくの言いたいことがわかったんです！
Eeh?! Your Highness, how did you know what I wanted to say?!

Panel 7
性能の悪いのはどうしようもないが 値段はねぎることができるからな
Although it can't be helped the quality will be inferior, we can bargain on the price.

Panel 8
ええっ まだ何の説明もしてないのに！
Eeh, even though I still hadn't given an explanation!

殿下 それが速解術の効果ですか？！
Your Highness, is this the result of speed-comprehension?!

すごい！
Amazing!

ザーッ
Zaa - Whoosh

Panel 6
ぼくが口を出す問題じゃないな。文部大臣に相談しろ
I'm not going to butt into that problem. Consult with the Minister of Education.

はっ！
Yessir!

Panel 7
べんりべんり
Convenient, convenient.

ハッハッ
Ha ha

Panel 8
この速解術を通信教育で売りだしてみようかな。教則本を読めば誰にでもできるからヒットするかもしれんな
I wonder if we should try to sell this speed-comprehension on the market in a correspondence course. Since anyone can do it if they read the manual it'll probably be a big hit.

ワーン！
Waaahn!

Panel 2
すると何か？！速解術とやらのせいで先を読みすぎて 生きる気力を失ったというんだな？！
So what?! Because of some 'speed-comprehension' they read things too fast and lost the will to live?!

I would have continued if he didn't faint.

少佐 これにどのような意味が。。。？
Major, what was the meaning of all this...?

Panel 2
ノイローゼなどというのは 精神と肉体のバランスがくずれるから起こるのだ
Since the balance between mind and body collapsed they fell into a neurosis.

Panel 3
ようするに 考えすぎるからエネルギーが精神にばかりいって おかしくなる考えすぎるなら考えさせないようにすればいい
In short, because they were thinking too much, energy was only going to their minds and they got weird. All that was necessary was to make him stop thinking too much.

シュボッ
Shubo - Fwoosh

Panel 4
つまり はげしく運動させることによって肉体を疲労させくずれたバランスが元にもどるようにしむけるのだ
In short, by making him exercise intensely, his body became exhausted and the balance was returned to normal.

ははあ 運動療法ってやつですね
Hahah, it was a therapeutic exercise.
