Rikuo: Test it out, you say?
Text: Nurarihyon no Mago
Story so far: The Nura Clan's fated enemy, Hagoromo Kitsune, has been reborn in the present! The onmyouji Yura (Rikuo's classmate) has returned home to Kyoto, called back by her family to fight Hagoromo Kitsune's group. Rikuo has informed the Supreme Commander of his decision to go to Kyoto too, but...

Rikuo: ...Old man
Rikuo: You serious about this?

Nurarihyon: Rikuo
Nurarihyon: If you're sure you want to go to Kyoto, no matter what...

Karasu Tengu: Hm?

Karasu: ?!
Karasu: Rikuo-sama?...
Karasu: Supreme Commander?! What are you doing?!

Nurarihyon: Let's go, Rikuo

Nurarihyon: I wonder...
Nurarihyon: Will you able to see me?

[nothing, just Grandpa being awesome. Seeing Rikuo being beaten up shouldn't be this enjoyable, but...]

Rikuo: . . . . .
Rikuo: Guh...

Rikuo: Y... You—
Nurarihyon: Looks like I haven't taught you anything, Rikuo

Nurarihyon: Ayakashi are those who seize "fear"

Nurarihyon: Normally, obtaining that awe and fear, and winning without fighting... is the "ideal"

Nurarihyon: However, in a fight between Ayakashi, it is a struggle for "fear"
Nurarihyon: In other words, it's a battle of deception

Nurarihyon: If you can get the drop on your opponent, that will be the deciding moment of the battle
Nurarihyon: That's the "first stage" of an Ayakashi fight.

-07-
Rikuo: ......

Nurarihyon: That's it
Nurarihyon: Show me what you've got

Nurarihyon: Hey hey
Nurarihyon: Not over there, Rikuo!

Nurarihyon: Hmm... I guess you picked up that much from watching others
Nurarihyon: But that alone won't be enough

-08-
Nurarihyon: The Ayakashi of old
Nurarihyon: Take it to the next stage

Karasu: S-Supreme Commander?!
Karasu: Wh... What are you doing?!

Text: !!

Rikuo: Guh...
Rikuo: Haaa...
Nurarihyon: As you are now, even if you went to Kyoto, you wouldn't achieve anything

Nurarihyon: If you got that
Nurarihyon: Then sleep now

Karasu: Supreme Commander...

Nurarihyon: ......
Text: Grandpa... One day...
Nurarihyon: This is for the best...
Text: I'll become a great supreme commander, just like you...

Rikuo: ...Thinking about him now
Rikuo: There's no way he can go to Kyoto, right?...

Nurarihyon: Oh?... Even though that sword was blunt, to think you'd wake up...
Nurarihyon: Why are you so fixated on Kyoto?

Rikuo: ...It's about my father.
Rikuo: She's there in Kyoto, right?... Hagoromo Kitsune, I mean.

-11-
Rikuo: So tell me
Rikuo: Old Man

Nurarihyon: Mmph!!

Karasu: Injuring your own grandson in a swordfight...
Karasu: You're overdoing it

Karasu: Don't you think you're being too harsh?
Text: This kid...

-13-
Nurarihyon: Rikuo... It's better that you don't know anything
Nurarihyon: I can't lose you too...

-14-
Nurarihyon: ......
Nurarihyon: No...
Nurarihyon: I've been overprotective of him

Karasu: Huh...
Nurarihyon: Oi, Karasu...
Nurarihyon: Call them in...

Karasu: Wh... What did you say?!
Karasu: Are you serious?!

Karasu: You want to send Rikuo-sama there?! That's overdoing it!!
Karasu: Do you want to kill him?! Supreme Commander!!
Nurarihyon: You're irritating... Shut up, Karasu Tengu.

Toono1: This certainly brings back memories, Commander.

-15-
Nurarihyon: Yup
Nurarihyon: Thanks for coming all this way

Toono1: Are you certain about this?
Toono1: It could result... in the loss of your precious heir...

Nurarihyon: I'm not bothered
Nurarihyon: Do as you please
Nurarihyon: It's what he wants.

-16-
Tsurara: He's still not awake?
Tsurara: He's been sleeping for 2 days already...

Tsurara: What if he never wakes up again?...
Kejourou: That reminds me... the Kiyo Cross Squad came by today

Kejourou: They said, "We leave for Kyoto in a week's time!!"
Tsurara: Nevermind that, what about Rikuo-sama!!

Tsurara: What is the Supreme Commander thinking?...
Tsurara: Leaving his own grandson in this state... [small text:]Don't you think it was a little cruel?

Kubinashi: Hey, you guys, hide Rikuo-sama!!

Kejourou: Wh... What's wrong, Kubinashi?
Kubinashi: Just do it, quickly!!
Kubinashi: Th-They're coming!! The monsters!!

Tsurara: Get your hands off of him!!

Toono1: Are you the bad kid
Toono1: Getting in my way?~

Tsurara: Hiiieee?!

Toono3: We... the Oushuu Toono family!!
