Tama (thoughts): This is... a superfine thread?!
Tama (thoughts): It's... been reinforced with fear...?!

Kubi: ...did you think I would only strongly bind you ...?!
Kubi: Just who... do you think I've been fighting behind all this time!
オレが。。。誰の後ろで戦ってきたと思っているのだ!

[p002]

Kubi: It seems that... with the sequence you had decided upon thrown into disarray, you lose sight of your surroundings...

Tama: Wh...when did you?! This... this sort of thing...

Kubi: Be mindful...
Kubi (thoughts): Wakana-san,
Kubi (thoughts): It's all thanks to you.
Kubi: Of your hands and feet.

Tama: UWAA!

Kubi: An actor whose pacing has been thrown into disarray
一度足並み縺れた役者にゃ
Kubi: won't feel... something like fear.

[p003]

Kubi: On this mundane stage
このしらけきった舞台で

Kubi: Your existence
Kubi: is at an end!!
お前の生きる道はない!!

[p004]

Tama: Cough....
Tama: The leading role... losing... I can't believe there would be such an outcome...

Tama: Shit....
Tama: I'll definitely... remember this...

???: Were you intending to run somewhere?

[p005]

Tama: Uu......
Tama: Uu... the main house's...

Yokai: What's that, what's going on?
Yokai: Oi... you're part of the Hyaku Monogatari Clan...?!
Yokai: Just what were you planning on doing at the main house?
Yokai: How about we have you tell us in detail.

Tama: W...wait...
Tama: Wa...

Tama: DAMMIT
Tama: Kubinashiiiiiii!!

(left of Kubi) Phew...

[p006]

Wakana: Kubinashi-kun.
Kubi: Wakana-sama...
Wakana: Thank you...!

Nura: Oh... Wakana-san!
Nura: Kubinashi... so you protected her, did you... good job.

Kubi: ...no.
Kubi: It was nothing.
Kubi (thoughts): That's what I should say.
オレの方なんです

Kubi (thoughts): Since the time... the Nura Clan
Kubi (thoughts): accepted someone like me...
Kubi (thoughts): Always, always...

Kubi (thoughts): ......I've been the grateful one.

Rihan: Kubinashi... being able to put your life on the line for what's important to you,
Rihan: That's what strength is.

[p007]

Kubi (thoughts):
Second-----
What I want to protect is this clan and the people here.
Kubi: I... should be the one thanking you.
Kubi (thoughts): I get the feeling that I can still become stronger.

Nura: That's a good sentiment.
いいってこった
Nura: For men, there are certainly bonds between them that can't be seen.
男にゃ男同士しか見えんぇ絆ってもんがあるんだ
(smaller text) Probably.

Nura: That reminds me, Kubinashi... right now, Rikuo is...

Kubi (thoughts): Fukagawa?!
Kubi (thoughts): The place where Sanmoto's mansion once stood.
Box: Fukagawa

[p008]

People: Ah...aaah
Rikuo: Dammit!! Searching for their hideout is impossible with all these distractions!
Rikuo: As long as we're just exterminating these guys, it doesn't matter how many of our reinforcements show up, we can't move forward!!
応援が幾ら来ようが退治ばっかじゃ先に進まねぇ!!

Itaku: Rikuo... this way!

[p009]

???: There we go...
Tsurara: Everyone, we'll leave the rest to you!!
Rikuo: Thanks, Itaku!!
Rikuo: As expected of my teacher!!

Itaku: Don't slack off, you lot!! Can't you feel that fear!!
Rikuo: Eh

[p010]

Rikuo: Wh... what the heck is this guy?!

???: There's a ton've the bastards blocking the pathway!!
道いっぱいにつまってやがる!!

[p011]

Itaku: Keep going!! Don't hesitate!!

Rikuo: Ooooii!!
Rikuo: This time, a bunch've guys popped out from inside, Itakuuu!
Itaku: Then do something about it!!

Rikuo: If I gather it around...
群がってくんなら...

[p012/013]

Rikuo: And then
Rikuo: scatter them before me!
けちらすまでだ

(text) Meikyo Shisui
(text) Zan!!

Brain: Wh...
Brain: What?! Is that... Rikuo?!

[p014]

Itaku (thoughts): That was...?!

Itaku (thoughts): Slashing with Meikyo Shisui: Sakura attached to the blade...
Itaku (thoughts): Changed it into a flaming sword...?!

Itaku (thoughts): Rikuo, he...
Rikuo: Phew...
Itaku (thoughts): Even though I only taught him the basics... just when did he...

Tsurara: Rikuo-sama... that was amazing.
Rikuo: Oi, you idiot, don't let down your guard!

Tsurara: Wa...
Tsurara: Wait a second, just what are you doing!!

[p015]

Yokai: Wh...
Yokai: My body is...

Ryuuji: It's water.
Ryuuji: Return to the earth.

Tsurara: Y...you can use fire too?!
Ryuuji: No... I'm a water onmyoji... but anything can burn easily once the moisture is extracted from it.
Ryuuji: I could kill a Yuki-onna in the blink of an eye.

Tsurara: I see... thank you.
Tsurara: Hrm?

[p016]

Tsurara: What was that!!
???: Hold on... what's this?
???: ...what? Some kind of wreckage...?

Itaku: A skull?
Rikuo: It's huge.

Rikuo: In the past, something was born here...
Rikuo: It's probably that big-shot yokai from dad's generation.

Ryuuji: Oi, Yuki-onna.
Tsurara: Eh?
Ryuuji: You've lived a long time, haven't you... so explain.
Tsurara: Wait a

Tsurara: I don't know about it, how rude!!
Itaku: Tch... what a lax pair...
Ryuuji: The heck... you're unexpectedly young.

Tsurara: Anyway, why are you coming along!
(small text) And as if it's perfectly natural.

[p017]

Ryuuji: ...Encho might be your enemy, but he may also be the one instigating the nationwide outbreak of urban legends.
Ryuuji: Basically, I have to find out... as an onmyoji, I can't just let the matter work itself out.

Rikuo: ...there aren't many options, with only the 4 of us.
Ryuuji: But we've reached their hideout, haven't we.
Ryuuji: Probably should have brought along that huge guy.

Rikuo: I'm leaving Kana and Kiyotsugu in Aotabo's care... it couldn't be helped!
Rikuo: But if Yura were here, I bet she would've made a clean sweep!

Ryuuji: ...don't go lumping someone's sister in with that inhumanly strong guy.
Ryuuji: Well... you might not be wrong about it.

[p018]

Itaku: Let's move!!

Brain: Encho!!
Brain: I'll leave this place to you... I'm going to escape!!
Brain: If I can just hold out until morning... we'll be able to do the resurrection, won't we?!

Brain: Isn't that right...?

Brain: Daybreak is close... hasn't the fear already been gathered?!
Brain: At any rate, somehow or other we can hide the container in which we've gathered the fear... I'm counting on you?!

[p019]

Encho: ...that's right.
Encho: It will be soon...

Brain: What...?

Brain: Wait, Encho.
Brain: Where are you... going...?

???: There's a door!!

Rikuo: Encho!!
(left) With vigor!! Heading to Encho's location!!
(bottom right) To the heart of the Hyaku Monogatari Arc...!! Next time, a direct confrontation at last!?
