   • 2006 November 17, Seimaru Amagi with Sato, Fumiya, “獄(ごく)門(もん)塾(じゅく)殺(さつ)人(じん)事(じ)件(けん)1⃣(いち) [The Prison Gate Cram School Murder Case #1]”, in 獄門塾殺人事件（上） [The Prison Gate Cram School Murder Case (First Book)] (金田一少年の事件簿) (fiction), Tokyo: Kodansha, →ISBN:

     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, is this cram school you’re studying at—— as hellish as its name suggests?

     ああ！「極(ごく)問(もん)塾(じゅく)」だろ？ホントは学(がく)問(もん)を極(きわ)めるっていう意(い)味(み)の「極(ごく)問(もん)」らしいんだけど　あんまりスパルタなんでこっちの「獄(ごく)門(もん)」って陰(かげ)ではいわれてるんだ！

     Ā!“Gokumon-juku” daro? Honto wa gakumon o kiwamerutte iu imi no “Gokumon” rashiin dakedo anmari Suparuta nan de kotchi no “Gokumon”tte kage de wa iwareterun da!

     Oh! You mean “Gokumon Cram School”? “Gokumon” actually means something like ‘studying to extremes’, 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!
