“

(Continued from last volume...) So, in my dream, I am facing a sumo wrestler on national TV and trying to avoid being known as the biggest coward in Japan. I try to concoct a plan to lose the match without getting hurt. I get in the ring, and the referee says "Lock eyes!" The other wrestler glares at me, his face four times the size of mine. There's an open wound on his forehead, probably from yesterday's brutal match. The wound starts to twitch, and blood oozes out of it. I'm pretty sure I let out a piercing scream at that point. (The end.)

“

（前巻のつづき）夢の中の自分はとにかく日本一の卑怯者になりたくないから、「なるべくケガのないように負ければよい」とちょっとズルイ気持ちで土俵上で力士と向かい合うと「見合って」の声。力士の顔が自分の四倍以上もあるやつがグォォッ！とにらみつけてくる。「ゲッ！」よぉ～く力士の顔を見ると、昨日の試合で激突してついたと思われる額のキズが深々とついている。そして最もうなされたのが次の場面で、そのキズがヒクヒクいって血がダラッと出て来たのだ。たぶん絶叫したと思う。（おしまい）
