Rikuo: so weren't you supposed to hiding...!?

[p006]

Raiden: Right!!
Raiden: This guy here's not playing tag in a game of tag!!

Raiden: Err, that's not it.
Raiden: ....

Raiden: Arara...
Raiden: Crap, now there's less've an audience...
Raiden: Well... whatever...
Raiden: Let's do it.

[p011]

Raiden: Heh.
Raiden: So that's your ability, huh!!

[p012]

Raiden: But taking my head
Raiden: Is gonna be real hard to do.

(TL note: Raiden says 骨が折れる, which means "requiring effort" or "being hard to do", but the first part (骨) is the kanji for bone. As Raiden is Sanmoto's bones, this line is actually a bit of a pun.)

[p013]

Rikuo: Wh...
Tsurara: Rikuo-sama...!
Rikuo: What...!? This guy...

[p014]

Kejoro: Hold it right there!!
Kejoro: Ah...

[p015]

Kejoro: Kubinashi!!
Kubi: Kejoro... be careful!
Kejoro: Th...thanks.
Kejoro: Kubinashi... you heard from Kuroumaru too, right?
Kubi: ...yeah...

[p016]

Kejoro: ......
Kejoro: What should we do?
Kubi: Asking that...
Kubi: We'll look for Rikuo-sama, of course! There are people after his head.
Phone: Vrrrrrrrrr

(TL note: it's supposed to be vibrating, but I can't come up with a better equivalent sound effect)

Kejoro: A phone call!?
Kuro: Can you all hear me? ...We'll be using our cellphones as walkie-talkies, so listen up... the following is <i>an order from Rikuo-sama</i>!!
Kuro: We... are not to go and help Rikuo-sama.
Kuro: It seems that ayakashi of the Hyaku Monogatari Clan are appearing frequently throughout Tokyo and attacking humans.
Kuro: We will crush them, with the cooperation of the clans scattered throughout Tokyo!!

[p017]

Kejoro: Kurotabo...
Kejoro: ...A... alright!
Shouei: Right...
Kuro: A word of warning.
Kuro: This is not a battle between Hyakki Yakou.
Ao: Hahh?
Kejoro: Why is... ah.
Kejoro: I see!!
Kuro: This is a clever strategy to separate us... in other words, they are confident they won't lose in one-on-one battles.
Kuro: Tread carefully.

[p018]

Kuro: Rikuo-sama...
Kuro: Yanagida...
Kuro: I'll at least... send you to hell...!!

[p019]

Kubi: This has really become a large-scale operation...
Kubi: Let's go, and stay focussed... Kejoro.
Kejoro: Yes...
Kejoro: Let's do our best... Kubinashi...
(right, star) ...just what are you doing, Kejoro!? An unknown blade draws closer to Kubinashi!!
