[side text: Yoshimori saw the similarities between the prophecy and Souji’s appearance, and so he is worried for his family now…]

Yoshi: (“The God of calamity, fully clad in a bloody stench…”)// If he’s the one who will bring calamity upon Karasumori…//
Father, are you alright?!//
He is…//
Hiura is the God of…

Chapter 224: First Class Small Shrine

SFX: BANG

(p3)
SFX: Quiet----
Shuji: Wah!!// What happened, Yoshimori?!

Yoshi: Which idiot put a bucket out of nowhere, argh~~~~~~~~?!
Shuji: Ahh, it’s Hiura-kun.// He’s helping me wiping the corridor.

Yoshi: You~~~~~~~~(He’s truly the god of…~~)

Souji: I am sorry… Please forgive me.

(p4)
Shuji: It’s fine, Hiura-kun. After all, it’s Yoshimori who is careless. (AHAHAHA)
(Yoshi: WHAT?!)

Shuji: Yoshimori, you got to clean the spillage, please.
Yoshi: WHAT~~~~~~~~?! (Why me~?!)//
Dammit!// That bastard~~~~~!!

Shuji: Tonight is the best dinner I ever made!!// THE BAMBOO SHOOT FEST!!

Yoshi: Wow~ It looks good!~
Shuji: Fu fu fu.

(p5)
Shuji: Actually, those bamboo shoots/ are given by Hiura-kun.// Quick, be thankful!
Yoshi: WHA?!

Toshi: Thank you so…
Yoshi: Wait.Wait.Wait!~//
It might be poisoned. (SFX: Sniff, sniff)
Shuji: What did you mean by that?!

Yoshi: Well,/ why doncha try it first? (Try it!)
Shuji: Yoshimori!!

Souji: Roger.

Shuji: It’s fine, Hiura-kun. I’ve tasted it many times…
Souji: ……

SFX: munch, munch
Shuji: Ah.// So how’s the taste?

(p6)
SFX: Swallow

Souji: Speaking of which…// I don’t know how poison is tasted like…
Shuji: See./ I said there’s no poison in it…

Toshi: Rather than that, how’s the food?/ For me, I think it looks really really nice…(I’m digging in!)

Souji: ……// I think… it’s delicious.

Shuji: WOW, REALLY?!/ That’s great!~~~ There’s a lot more so eat as much as you want!!

(p7)
Tokine: Well then, Hakubi. Shall we start our patrol?
Hakubi: Ok.

(p8)
Souji: Patrol…?
Tokine: Huh?
Souji: I was ordered that once I’m here, I must listen to the orders of the Kekkaishi./ So what should I do?

Tokine: Ahh… Uh, let’s see…
Yoshi: That bastard! He stands so close to Tokine while they’re talking…

Tokine: Ok./ Let’s patrol together. I show you the way.
Souji: Roger.
Yoshi: HEY!!
Tokine: And Souji-kun…

Yoshi: Hey you! That guy is…
Tokine: We’re about the same age,/ so you can drop the formalities.
Souji: Formalities…
Tokine: That means you can be more causal with us.

Souji: ……..// Roger.

(p9)
Souji: Ah.//
I… under…stand…?
Tokine: (He’s sure reacting slow…)

Yoshi: Oi, I already told you he’s dangerous!
Tokine: But we don’t even know what kind of person he is.//
Maybe…// He was just ordered to be here,/ but he himself have no ill intention at all…

(p10)
Todoroki: So is that Hiura boy really related to the Shinyuuchi Hunting?
Makio: Hmmm…// But what Sen said didn’t have any backup at all.
Takemitsu: If so, what to do with the Headquarter Eviction Team?

Makio: I can’t make the judgment yet.// But let’s see how it goes first.


So that entire school is Karasumori…?

It looks rather tiny though…
So Karasumori belongs to the level of the Small Shrine.

(p11)
Heh./ Isn’t that great? This makes our job so much easier then.
But…/ Mount Ookubi is ranked among the highest of the first class Great Shrine, isn‘t it? The difference is a little too big. Don’t you think?
Right.

They do have a common point though./ It’s still a confidential matter. So in Urakai, it’s considered as an extremely important land that is under protection.




[“S“= Special]
The Shinyuuchi which are acknowledged with a “S”, are either have the capabilities to strongly influence other lands, or they possess unique characteristics that can‘t be seen.// Karasumori is a first class Small Shrine at its best./ But for a Small Shrine to obtain a “S”, this is the only place.

I bet this little Karasumori// must have amazing powers like the Great Shrines’.

Hmph~…

(p12)
All right. /Let’s start this right away.

Are you ready to go?
Yes. We’re all set.

Say,// how about the thing that can cover up our moves?

Don’t worry.
I’ve taught them properly.

(p13)
Yoshi: HEY!// Wait for me!

(p14)
Yoshi: Wah?!
Tokine: Kya!!
(p15)
Makio: What?!

Yoshi: Tokine!!

Tokine: Souji-kun…

(p16+17)
Tokine: What are those…?

Souji: Those Ayakashi. Should I eliminate them?
Tokine: Ah, Uh./ We got to be quick.

Souji: Roger.

(p18)
Tokine: Huh?/ Souji-ku…

Wait!!

Yoshi: You…

[side text: Yoshimori still couldn’t trust Souji after all…?!]
