Kubi: ......yeah...

Natto: B...big trouble!!
Natto: Rikuo-sama is... bringing friends back here, to the main house!!

Yokai: Wh-what was that?!

Yokai: So suddenly?!
Yokai: If we don't hurry up and hide, he'll get mad again?!
Natto: No... it seems this time you're fine as-is?

Yokai: So... the same as usual?

Rikuo: Well, we've arrived, you two.

[p003/004]

(right, title) Act 191: Rikuo, Inviting Friends Home
(center, star) This is a chivalric yokai household!!

Rikuo: What's wrong? Don't be shy, Kiyotsugu-kun!! Kana-chan!!
Rikuo: Once again, this is my house!
Rikuo: Please take your time looking around, okay!

(right of Kiyo) I'll be intruding...

Tofu: Hm?
Ko-oni: This guy...

Kiyo: Yeep

Ko-oni: Oh ho, he's the one Rikuo-sama was really grateful to before, huh~~~
(sfx, right of Tofu) Glare
(left of Ko-oni) Thanks for that.

Kiyo: Now that I get a good look at you, GYAAAAAAA!!
(around Rikuo) Ahaha hahaha
Rikuo: Ah, that's right. There were guys here you were already acquainted with~!
(small text) I'm glad!

Ao: Ri... Rikuo-sama......?!
Kuro: I thought he had gone straight to school... after returning home from Mount Osore...
Kuro: What's this, all of a sudden?!

Box: Let's rewind to about 2 hours earlier...

(left, outside of panels, star) Volume 20, the newest from Jump Comics, is currently on sale in bookstores across the country, with rave reviews!!

[p005]

Kiyo: Don't say such unreasonable things, all of you.
Kiyo: Even now, he is still suffering!!
Kiyo: Since the Kudan's curse... hasn't disappeared!!

Maki: That's probably true, but

Maki: I'd thought he'd be coming today, y'know...
Torii: And we can't... even thank him like this.

Maki: ...what's with that face.
Kiyo: It's just... those are... words I'm not used to hearing from you two...

Torii: Geez... don't look down on us! The yokai-san who's always come to save me,
Torii: I wonder if he's one of Nura-kun's friends, too... I'd really like to know more about him, too.

[p006]

Torii: I really want to meet Nura-kun and properly thank him!
(left of Torii) I was surprised to hear about those things in Shibuya and the subway station!

Maki: Yeah! I... want to tell Nura that I'll protect him when he's at school!!
(left of Maki) Against yokai is impossible, but against middle schoolers is no sweat!!
Maki: It's not like we'd alienate him for that sort of rumor or anything!!
あんな噂ごときで仲間外れなんかにするかよ!!
Torii: Yeah, that's right!
Kiyo: You guys...

Kiyo: What, so you were basically nice guys after all!!
Maki/Torii: Of course! You didn't know that?!

Kana: He won't be able to come...

Kiyo: Eh?

Kana: He won't be able to come to school or the like anymore...

Kiyo: Ienaga-kun...
Maki: Kana...

[p007]

Kana: I wonder... if he's already
Kana: gone into that... yokai world...
もう。。。妖怪(あっち)の世界に 行ったままに。。。なっちゃうのかな。。。

Kana: I'm going to go... I have to deliver these notes.

[p008]

Maki: You're right.
Kiyo: He's... probably not going to come anymore.

Kana: Ri
Kana: kuo...kun?

Rikuo: Ah,
Rikuo: Morning...
(small text) It's late, though.

Kiyo: Nu...

[p009]

Rikuo: If it's alright with you guys,
Rikuo: would you come to my house?

All: Eh?

(bottom, star) You can only read Shiibashi-sensei's manga in Jump!! Please support him!

[p010]

Kejoro: Your tea...
Yokai: Uoh!! Just what's goin' on!!
Yokai: Why're humans suddenly comin' in the mansion?!

Yokai: But if they're guests, we definitely won't do anything!
San no kuchi: Sooo, I'll raise the seat... err, time for a funny story...
じゃー オレが高座のぼるぜ。。。えー毎度バカバカしい。。。
Yokai: Stop, stop, that's dumb!!
(San no kuchi is attempting Rakugo, which is a traditional form of Japanese comedy.)

Kiyo: Like I thought, it really is a yokai mansion...
(left of Kiyo) 5 days ago, I wasn't paying attention to anything but my laptop, so I didn't notice...

Kiyo: Miss... so you were a "Kejoro", huh...
Kejoro: Yes, that's right~
(small text) Hoho

(Kejoro): Rikuo-sama, just what are you planning?

Kejoro: Well, please take it easy...
(small text) Hoho
Kiyo: R-right.

[p011]

(above group) At ease

Rikuo: Well, what's this.
Rikuo: You're really getting along well, aren't you~
(left of Rikuo) Hahaha

Kana: ......what happened? Isn't this sudden?

Kana: I'm a little surprised.

Kana: Rikuo-kun... since back then,
Kana: haven't you... always wanted to keep this secret?

Rikuo: Yeah...

[p012]

Rikuo: Ah, that's right, Kiyotsugu-kun... Kana-chan wrote down all the minute details in her notes.
Rikuo: About what you did for me that day, too.

Kiyo: Eh? Ah... I mean...
Kiyo: Don't worry about it. We're like family, after all!

Kiyo: More like, why did you do that, Ienaga-kun!!
(right of Kiyo) It's embarrassing!
Kana: B-but you were working so hard, so
Kiyo: If I wanted to tell him...

Kiyo: I would have told him...

Rikuo: I'm really grateful.
Rikuo: This time, I wanted to convey that to you.

Rikuo: And also, for hiding all of this from you guys until now... I'm sorry!
Kana: Rikuo-kun...

(Kejoro): What an honest child...

[p013]

(right of Rikuo) It would've been nice if everyone had come, though.
(right of Kiyo) Weeell, the girls had already decided to go out on the town tonight after 5.

Rikuo: I'm really

Rikuo: Glad... I've been able to see everyone
Rikuo: before the battle with Seimei.

Tamazuki: We're... paying a little visit.

Yokai: Ehh?

[p014]

(sfx) Knock knock

(sfx) Door sliding open
Zen: Yo, Rikuo, so you were here.
Rikuo: Zen-kun.

(left of Kiyo) Excuse us...

Rikuo: Thanks for all you've done.
(right of Rikuo) Is your health okay?
Zen: Where's... the first gen old man today?
Rikuo: It looks like he went off somewhere again...

Zen: Somewhere? Nurarihyon's flitting about like usual, huh.
Zen: So... "who" is doing today's "assembly"?

Rikuo: ..."I" sent out the order.
Rikuo: ......I hope they'll gather for it, though.

Kana: Assembly?

[p015/016]

Kuro/Ao: Th... this fear is?!

Rikuo: Hold it.

Rikuo: This time, they're... guests.

(sfx) Surprise

[p017]

Tamazuki: Hmph... if this is how you're going to treat us, maybe we shouldn't have come.

Rikuo: Hey,
Rikuo: Tamazuki.

Tamazuki: We meet again.
Tamazuki: It is an honor... to be invited here this time.

[p018]

Yokai: Tamazuki...?
Yokai: It's the Shikoku Hachijuuhakki Yako...

Rikuo: Kana-chan, Kiyotsugu-kun,
Rikuo: Wait a little bit, okay?

Yokai: Wh...what on earth are they trying to start.
Yokai: Hell if I know... the Nura Clan aren't the only ones at today's assembly, though.
Yokai: Is that true?!

Kiyo: Nura-kun...

Rikuo: I'd like you to wait in here... lord of Shikoku.
(right) A reunion with Tamazuki... the reasoning behind it is...?!

Nura: Yo.
Nura: It's been a while...

(bottom right) Rikuo, who has set things in motion... and what is Nurarihyon anticipating!?
