      ところで草(そう)太(た)君(くん)の通(かよ)ってるこの塾(じゅく)——ホント名(な)前(まえ)どおりのコワソーな塾(じゅく)ね！
      Tokoro de Sōta-kun no kayotteru kono juku—— honto namae dōri no kowasō na juku ne!
      By the way Sōta, this cram school you’re studying at, it seems as hellish as its name suggests!

      Oh! You mean “Gokumon Cram School”? “Gokumon” actually means something like ‘studying a field deeply’, but people just go with “Gokumon” as in ‘prison gate’ because of its harsh conditions!
      やだ！コワイ！
      Ya da! Kowai!
      No way! That’s spooky!
