Even if death isn't permanent here, it is vicious to take the life of a junior. With how many children are taking part in this contest, I thought the majority of us would have agreed upon this . . .
Then it falls on us as their elders to protect them; however, this curfew makes it nearly impossible for this one to carry out such an important task here.
Is there really nothing that can be done? In the past, we’ve witnessed our fair share of miracles through fervent prayer and audiences with the great gods. Is it too optimistic to appeal for a week where the contest advances without anyone's death?

[ the more oda says it, the less he believes it but...oh well. ]
Are you okay? It must be hard to deal with this.
[ especially since he thought there wouldn't be any murder, ]

Ah, so you remember. You don't need to worry. This is not the first time I have witnessed death.

[ oda knows that he shouldn't feel surprised by this and, technically he isn't. however, he can't help but sigh. ]
I'm sorry, though--that you have to go through this. It sounded like you really wanted things to be solved peacefully.
