Chapter 141 "Mountain Pass" ([[wikipedia:Japanese_language|Japanese]]: 峠) is a special, epilogue chapter of [[Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou]]. It was first published in the July 2006 issue of [[Kodansha]]'s [[Monthly Afternoon]],<ref>[[Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Novel: Seeing, Walking, Being Glad]], page 216. Note preceding the chapter in the 2008 publication. </ref> five months after the [[Chapter 140|final chapter]] of the series in the February issue. The six-page story appears to be set an indeterminate amount of time after the events of the main series and follows an unnamed traveler as they make their way over the [[wikipedia:Mount_Hakone|Mount Hakone]] range to the southeast of Yokohama.<br />
<br />
==Publication History==<br />
<br />
Chapter 141 was published in the July 2006 issue of [[Monthly Afternoon]]. The chapter was not included in [[Volume 14]] that was published two months earlier in May 2006.<ref>https://kc.kodansha.co.jp/product?item=0000032091. Retrieved 16 May 2023.</ref> <br />
<br />
The chapter was later republished in October 2008, at the end of [[Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Novel: Seeing, Walking, Being Glad]], and again in July 2010, as part of the final volume of the 10-volume second edition of [[Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
The story depicts a brief moment in the travels of an unnamed narrator. It is implied that the story is set some time after the events of the main series, as the narrator states that the eastern country is now only used for travel to the north. The narrator explains that they are travelling on the mountain path because they have heard of a shop at the end of the road towards the east. The chapter ends with the narrator leaping off a steep edge of the mountain, only to be caught by a large [[barracuda]] that flies them both towards the next mountain.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
* For its first publication in [[Monthly Afternoon]], the chapter was not numbered but was subtitled "new special text" ([[wikipedia:Japanese_language|Japanese]]: 特別描下ろし).<br />
* The unnamed narrator resembles [[Makki]] and [[Saetta]] which, combined with the former's affinity for [[Ayase]]'s [[barracuda]],<ref>[[Chapter 88|Chapter 88.]] Ayase notes that it took him years to control the barracuda as well as Makki does on her first attempt.</ref> has led to speculation that the narrator is a descendent of [[Makki]] and [[Takahiro]].<br />
* The narrator's barracuda is much larger than any seen in previous chapters. It is unclear whether it is the same barracuda with which Ayase travelled, now fully grown, or whether barracuda have evolved in the generations since the main story took place.<br />
