Nurarihyon no Mago 73

EDIT: Missing panels added to Page 14. Sorry for the fail.

Randomly, the locations of the seals seem mostly to be based on actual historical locations in and around Kyoto, with similar images to match (such as Rokukin-ji, whose name is a combination of the kanji in Kinkaku-ji/Rokuon-ji, or Fushime Inari Shrine, which is pretty much Fushimi Inari Taisha). Also, the expression of utter wtf on the kyou-youkai on p18 is made of win.

International Translators / Scanlators: You're welcome to use this, but I'd appreciate it if you include a credit for Niphredil.

Maid: Ah!
Maid: My lady...

Kitsune: Have you prepared my dinner as instructed?
Maid: Y-Yes, it's all ready.

Kitsune: Is that so... Then, just like always, don't let anyone enter, alright?
Maid: Y... Yes ma'am.

Minagoroshi Jizou [MJ]: Hagoromo Gitsune-sama
MJ: Ah yes, low water content... cooked until rare... All because the Ikigimo loses its power...

MJ: Now...
MJ: Today is the day we break the fifth "seal". [small text]kehehehe

Ibaraki-douji: About those seals...
SFX: sss...

-05-
Ibaraki: How about we just attack them all in one go?

Ibaraki: It's too complicated otherwise
Ibaraki: Minagoroshi Jizou...

Shoukera: Indeed, we must take back the capital as soon as possible...
SFX: ssss...

Shoukera: That is our dearest wish!!

Kyoukotsu's Daughter: He's right...
Text , below speech: Ohoho...

Kyou-youkai: Yeah, that's right!
Kyou-youkai: We're getting impatient here!

-06-07 *double page spread*-
Kyou-youkai: It's been a tough 400 years for us, you know~
Kyou-youkai: All "sealed up" by the onmyouji~
Kyou-youkai: Minagoroshi Jizou... You sure you aren't just too scared? Let me do it!!
Kyou-youkai: How about I start with cursing you to death?!

MJ: [small text]heheheh [regular text:]I certainly understand your feelings.
MJ: However, the seals are not to be underestimated~

MJ: The fact that they cannot all be destroyed simultaneously is yet another testament to the power of Hidemoto the 13th.
MJ: Because, you see, they form a demon-repelling "Spiral" seal, created in the Keichou era!!
[TN:]Keichou era: 1596 to 1615.


MJ: Fushime Inari Shrine

MJ: Hashira Imperial Villa

MJ: Ryuuen-ji
[TN:] –ji is a common suffix in Buddhist temple names.

MJ: Seiei-ji

MJ: Nishihougan-ji

MJ: Rokukin-ji

MJ: Soukoku-ji

MJ: Nijou Castle...

-08-
MJ: These eight temples, shrines, and castles are all linked together by the main roads of the capital
MJ: And they form the shape of a "spiral"!!

MJ: This spiral shape is the same as the one used in the seal created by high priest Tenkai during the construction of Edo Castle...
MJ: Thanks to the "Spiral", the Edo shogunate was blessed with 300 years of peace.

MJ: And in the capital, it was 400 years...
MJ: By the power of the genius onmyouji, Hidemoto the 13th, whose peace outlasted that of high priest Tenkai by a whole century!!

MJ: There are strong seals set up in each of the eight locations
MJ: We have no choice but to destroy each of them one by one, following the path of the spiral.

-09-
Ibaraki: Oi... You mean that we can only move forward
Ibaraki: In accordance with the way they're set up?!

Kitsune: Makes things interesting, don't you think?

Kitsune: Ayakashi attacking them one by one and moving deeper into the capital, just like drawing a spiral...
Kitsune: It gets my heart pounding just imagining it.

MJ: Hagoromo Gitsune-sama...
MJ: We're talking about all-out war with the onmyouji here. [small text:]hehehe...

Kitsune: Well, it sounds more like entertainment to me.

-10-
Kitsune: In the end, at the site of the 1st Seal, Nijou Castle
Kitsune: We shall build a castle.

Kitsune: And with the newly built Nijou Castle at the centre
Kitsune: We shall fill the capital with Ayakashi...

Kyoukotsu's daughter: Hagoromo Gitsune-sama...

-11-
MJ: Hoo-hehehehe
MJ: Just as expected of Hagoromo Gitsune-sama...I thought you would say something like that.

Skull youkai: Please allow me to take care of tonight's task.

Spider youkai: No way, I'm doing it!
Spider youkai: You know, 'cuz I'm Hagoromo Gitsune-sama's top follower!! Got it??

Kitsune: Fufu... I'll leave it to you all. Do as you please.
Kitsune: Now... Let's go.
