Chapter 38. It's not as long as the others, but it's probably one of the funniest chapters imo. As usual, I'm not a typesetter nor a "professional" translator, so there will be mistakes. Also the release of these chapters will be rather uneven, because I'll be doing them when I want to. Don't expect a regular translation, but I'll try to keep it somewhat steady.
I haven't proofread it, so if anyone's got a better translation for something, you're welcome.

Tsukuyo:
>"When you fought the Empress, you extended your arm from that place."
>"Why didn't you use the left elbow cut*?"
Nomura:
>"That's the theory of creating a lever's fulcrum for a strike, right?"
>"There's no meaning doing that with me though, since I use my bare hands."
Tsukuyo:
>"Kenchin Yakumaru's explanation went like this."
>*To discard the left elbow is the same as putting it to the chest, unable to move. By intentionally stopping the way you moves your arms, you can thereby raise the speed of your sword, which is the most important secret of Jigen-ryū.

>"First, you must not rely on your blade. If you do, it will create doubt in your heart. When you are bladeless, hit your enemy's head with a fist, and then compose yourself when you're on the verge of turning him into mincemeat."
>"The left elbow cut is a cornerstone of your upper half of the body in Jigen-ryū."
>"It's not some cheap trick that'll be rendered useless when you have no blade."
>"The folded left hand will pull your back muscles, and enhance the propulsion force and spin of the right hand that's supporting the handgrip*."
Tsukuyo
>"That means you should be able to use it for strikes with the fist as well."
>"But if you aren't stable from the waist and below, there's no point in it."
>"Supporting that is-"

Tsukuyo:

Nomura:

Tsukuyo:
