(beneath top panel) Nurarihyon no Mago

Yura: What the heck...
Yura: What the heck... you...

Dassai: Heeeh... so this is an onmyoji, huh.
(left of bubble) She's pretty small, ain't she~ did she seriously beat that giant snake?
Rikuo: Oi, Dassai, quit doing that.
Yura: Th... that's what... I've been saying... Nura-kun.

Rikuo: What're you gonna do if you make her even smaller than she is now? Huh?
Yura: That's righ... eh?

(right) Uwaa, you're all horrible!!
(left) Stop touching me already!!

Rikuo: If you're so angry, why not change into something like before.
(left of Dassai) Hahaha
(left of Rikuo) Haha
Yura: Oooh, why don't I fire off another God Arrow!!

(Tamazuki): She's just like a toy...
(left of bubble) Chuckle
(above dog) Whiiine

[p002]

(right, title) Act 201: Spiral Barrier
(bottom) What they drink together is the high-grade sake of victory--

[p003]

Yura: Eh?

Yura: Seriously?!
Yura: Kiyotsugu-kun... and Ienaga-san...
Yura: Everyone found out?
(small text) Even Shima-kun...

Rikuo: Yeah.

Yura: ...Nura-kun.

Rikuo: I gathered together yokai from all across the country...
Rikuo: Held a meeting... and showed them everything, even my other appearance.

Yura: Ehh? Y-you've really been rushing around doing all sorts of things, huh...
(small text) That's sudden, isn't it?
Rikuo: But that's how I broke through to them.
でもそれで吹っ切れた

Rikuo: I'm going to concentrate the power... of yokai nationwide.
Rikuo: What I want to protect... and what I plan to do, I made it all clear to them.

[p004]

(Yura): Rallying yokai nationwide...
Yura: So
Yura: you had such an important conversation...
Yura: Then basically, they're... Nura-kun's new Hyakki Yako?

Tamazuki: You must be kidding... I would prefer you call it a united front.
(Yura): Tamazuki...

Dassai: Yup, that's right. I don't recall us becoming underlings.
Dassai: Those Kyushu guys said that sorta thing too.

Dassai: You saw it too, right? Kyushu was almost destroyed.

Dassai: Seimei's group doesn't care about humans or yokai. It's all about cleaning up the world for their own convenience.
Dassai: But... ayakashi have their own sort of justice for dealing with other ayakashi. You guys are the same, ain'tcha?

???: As ayakashi, we have to defeat Seimei no matter what...

Tamazuki: That's why... we are riding on this ship right now.
Rikuo: Yeah... I'm filling this ship... with insanely strong guys, so it'll feel like we're on even ground with Seimei's lot from the start!

[p005]

Rikuo: Otherwise we wouldn't
Rikuo: be able to maintain order, as denizens of darkness.
Tamazuki: I won't let them do as they please.

Dassai: So you join us, too.
Yura: That's not happening.

Yura: ...but, I understand.
Yura: That's... the current plan on the yokai side of things.
(Yura): Nura-kun...

Yura: You've kinda... matured a bit, huh...
Rikuo: What the... so suddenly...
Rikuo: Oi, quit it.

[p006/007]

Rikuo: Right now, I have executives heading for the Chugoku and Chufu regions.
Rikuo: Those guys are gonna do their best... and hopefully increase our allies, even if only a little!
Dassai: I know, right.

Rikuo: We're heading for Kyoto.

(Yura): Kyoto...

(Yura): It'll be fine... even if Kyoto becomes a target for purification,
(Yura): Oniichan and Mamiru-kun are there!!
Box: Kyoto

Tenkai: Guwaaa!

Tenkai: Ahh... no way, Orochi was...
Tenkai: Th... those guys...

Tenkai: D-dammit, go, ammonites!!

Yokai: A...amazing...
Yokai: That guy... stopped the snake...

Yokai: Kyokotsu...
Kyokotsu: Yeah...

Tenkai: Dammit! O...oi, why are you not moving?!
Tenkai: Go!! Gooo!!

Ryuuji: It's useless.

Ryuuji: I've been getting a good look at those things from above... and it looked like they were drawing some sort of image.

Ryuuji: Exactly like... a "spiral".

[p008]

Ryuuji: Setting up for a barrier, huh? Allow me to bring that to a halt.
(small text) Heh...
Ryuuji: I understand that sort of thing... I use it frequently myself, after all...
Tenkai: Guh...

Ryuuji: Come to think of it, Tenkai... you're the guy who created Aoi Castle's barrier through the use of spiral-shaped canals, right...?
Ryuuji: That was really... some nice work.

Ryuuji: I guess Aoi Castle is... your headquarters?

(Kyokotsu): They can do it...
(Kyokotsu): These two... can definitely win...

Ryuuji: I have a lot of things I'd like to ask you...
Tenkai: Uwaaa... wah, save meeee!!

Tenkai: Juuust
Tenkai: kidding.

[p009]

(Ryuuji): Electric discharge?!
Ryuuji: What's wrong, Mamiru!!

Tenkai: Kakaka... you didn't notice, did you?
Tenkai: I wasn't simply moving my ammonites outward... I was using them to draw the outline of a barrier...

(Ryuuji): Like I thought... that's...

Tenkai: Kakaka... It's good that you noticed the spiral, but... you misread its [ size ]...
Tenkai: Do you know why I was the one to attack Kyoto?

Tenkai: That's right. This is...
Tenkai: the location of Aoi Castle's spiral seal, which I created...

[p010]

Tenkai: It
Tenkai: surrounds us, extending a great distance outward.

Tenkai: You are all standing within a massive barrier I created, so to speak.
Tenkai: Even more than that, while here... you are trapped!

(Ryuuji): What...? Just what is this guy saying?

Tenkai: Kakaka... Come to think of it, you've been mistaken about something, haven't you...?

Tenkai: Aoi Castle was certainly my best work, but...

[p011]

(right) My absolute masterpiece is the "Aoi Spiral Castle" located in the skies above Aoi Castle!!
(left) Our family's first head, Seimei-sama, is enshrined at the center of that beautiful spiral barrier!!

Tenkai: A perfect barrier!! A perfect seal!! Neither human nor ayakashi can ever see them! Nor can they enter, either!
Tenkai: You must defeat me... to unlock the seal!

[p012]

Tenkai: Kakaka~ Be dowsed in the ammonites' liquid slime, oh electric human!!
Tenkai: And!! Go ahead and be electrically shocked!!

Mamiru: N...not good.
Mamiru: If you do something like that...

(right of Mamiru) AAAUGH!
Ryuuji: MAMIRU!!

Tenkai: Don't move from there. Do not forget that you are all still within the confines of my seal overhead.

Tenkai: I did say
Tenkai: I was conducting a trial run, after all!!

(Kyokotsu): Oneesama...

[p013]

(Nura): You will likely... be unable to protect the capital...
(Kyoto was formerly the capital of Japan)
(Nura): Kyoto yokai... why not place your leader in my custody.

(Kyokotsu): I might have been mistaken.
(Kyokotsu): Because oneesama... this is... what that man said...

(Nura): My reasons? This is what I've decided on...
(Nura): In such turbulent times, it's more interesting to have a large number of strong guys around, isn't it?

(Kyokotsu): If you have a way to revive her, then... I want to gamble on that possibility.
(Kyokotsu): I...
(Kyomotsu): ended up... entrusting you to that man.

Tenkai: Kakakaka!
(Kyokotsu): If I were able to see your face once more...

Tenkai: The capital... will fall here!!
(Kyokotsu): I would devote my life to you again.

[p014]

Mamiru: I have been instructed... not to lose.

Ryuuji: Mamiru!!
Tenkai: Wh... is he a monster...

Tenkai: L...let go... dammit!!
Mamiru: Now... Ryuuji...

Ryuuji: ...Kyougen.

[p015]

Tenkai: What?!

Ryuuji: Kyougen is a deadly poisonous water... I wear it in order to camouflage my body...
Ryuuji: Sorry, but the one who will be sent to the next world... is you.

[p016]

Tenkai: I also use a viscous liquid as camouflage.
Tenkai: So I know about it well.
Tenkai: This is the end... Keikain.

(Ryuuji): This guy.

[p018]

Gitsune: "Where shall I go... I have no set destination."

[p019]

Tenkai: You...

Gitsune: When I thought that,

Gitsune: I remembered my original place as a leader.

Gitsune: You appear to have done well protecting this place in my absence.
Gitsune: I began... by coming to you all, Kyokotsu...
(right) Kyoto's lord has returned home...!!
