Nurarihyon no Mago 66

Edits, 15/7/09: Error pointed out by owlish on page 12. The sword cut through two generations' worth of leaders, not the leaders of the second generation.

Setsura: Fuu... uuh...

Starred text: ✩ The overwhelming forces of Kyoto!!

Hitotsume: ...Ch....
Hitotsume: Well, I guess these *are* the capital's Ayakashi...

Hitotsume: We've been gradually pushed back
SFX: haaa... haaa...

Oh-Tengu: What it comes down to
Oh-Tengu: Is a difference in strength!

SFX: CRASH

Nurarihyon: Owww...
Youhime: Kyahh!
Gyuuki?: Supreme Commander... Please be a little more considerate of Youhime!
Ayakashi: ?!

Karasu Tengu: Su—
Karasu: Supreme Commander!!

Nurarihyon: Hey, you lot – we're leaving!
Nurarihyon: We've got what we came for.

-03-
Ayakashi: What?!...
A: That's impossible!
Youkai: S... Supreme Commander!

Kidoumaru: Where's Hagoromo Kitsune-sama?!

Nurarihyon: I defeated your commander!
Gyuuki: It's true. You can go down and confirm it for yourselves.

Kidoumaru: It can't be...
Nurarihyon: Can you stand, Hitotsume?
Hitotsume: So... You really did it, then...

Hitotsume: That's...
Hitsotsume: Our Commander...

Ibaraki douji: Don't be absurd...
Ibaraki douji: We won't allow you to take a single step from here.

-04-
Nurarihyon: You asking for some?
Nurarihyon: Fine by me.

Oh-Tengu: Ibaraki Douji
Oh-Tengu: Have you... reason to fight?

Oh-Tengu: Hagoromo Kitsune would not simply let this rabble return where they came from, correct?
Oh-Tengu: This one most likely speaks the truth...
Oh-Tengu: Now that Hagoromo Kitsune is gone... even if we remain here, the Toyotomi have no further hope of moving upwards.

Box: Nishijin District, Keikain Main House

Koremitsu: "Koremitsu here records..."
Koremitsu: "...that Lady Yodo's death was concealed, but the Ayakashi withdrew from the capital in large numbers, having lost their leader."
Koremitsu: "After a second attack on Osaka Castle, the Toyotomi clan was destroyed."

Koremitsu: What's going on...
Koremitsu: It's awfully noisy in the receiving room...

-07-
Koremitsu: WHAT?!
Text, left of Koremitsu: An ayakashi party?!

Youkai: Oooh, ooh!
Nattou Kozou: Sorry for the intrusion!~
Nattou: You come join us too!
Youkai: Hey, make place for the baldy!!

Koremitsu: T-This is the Keikain Main House!!
Koremitsu: What are all these Ayakashi doing here?!

-08-
SFX: giggle
Shikigami: You'll go bald if you keep getting so worked up, you know~
Shikigami: You know~

Koremitsu: HIDEMOTO—!!
Youkai: Now now, just sit yourself down!

Nattou: We've heard about you!
Nattou: How you trained for 28 years as the direct descendent of the family, but couldn't become the leader.
Nattou: Got passed over for your little brother, or something like that
Youkai: So did ya go bald naturally?
Koremitsu: IT'S A TONSURE!!

Koremitsu: JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!
Nattou: We're leaving the capital now~
Nattou: So just think of this as a farewell party and enjoy yourself, eh?

Hihi [ohgod I love this so hard]: No standing on ceremony tonight!
Hihi: Eh, Gyuuki?
SFX: bat bat
Gyuuki: R...Right...

Setsura: I'll snatch those lips away from you
Setsura: No matter how many ages it takes!
Youhime: I... see...

-09-
Hitotsume: I dunno... I guess this little princess took a liking to me...
Mokugyo Daruma: My... You're quite something, Hitotsume...

Text (middle, black): What were you thinking, Hidemotoooo~!
Text (small, black, left): Please stop it, Yuki Onna-san!

Hidemoto: ......
Hidemoto: It was a beautiful moonlit night like this
Hidemoto: When I first met you too, wasn't it?

Nurarihyon: I hadn't realised the house I'd entered to eat food belonged to an onmyouji.

Hidemoto: Fufu... I'd never met such a troublesome Ayakashi...
Hidemoto: It'll really help me out, if you're returning to Edo

-10-
Nurarihyon: Unlike that fox, I've got no interest in this land.
Nurarihyon: I'm just going back to Edo now that I've become the Master of All Spirits.

Hidemoto: ......

Hidemoto: After she restores herself, Hagoromo Kitsune will probably target the capital again, you know
Text, left: She was always quick to turn tail and run

Hidemoto: Everyone considers this capital the country's most valuable piece of land.
Hidemoto: It's also the place where most blood has flowed...
Hidemoto: The capital, closest to Heaven... and closest to Hell.

Hidemoto: There's something I'd like to try my hand at.
Hidemoto: If I succeed... It will become the "unbreakable barrier".
Hidemoto: It would stop Ayakashi from doing as they please for *400 years*...

Hidemoto: Well, not that it matters how long it holds, since I'll be dead in 50 years, but still~!
SFX: Ahahaha!

-11-
Nurarihyon: 50 years, huh... Human lives really are short
Nurarihyon: This is pretty much it for you now, isn't it?

Hidemoto: Oh. not at all!...
Text, left: But that goes for you too...

Text, right+left combined: It seems your lifespan has been reduced considerably too...

Hidemoto: I might be able to meet you as part of the "Hagun" later on as well, you know!
[TN: "Rending Army", the summon used in the final battle]
Hidemoto: After all, "Shikigami Hagun" is a technique that summons the ancestral leaders.
Hidemoto: Though I doubt there'd be anyone with enough talent to be able to use the Hagun...

Hidemoto: Hm?

Nurarihyon: From now on, I'll be mixing in with humans.
Nurarihyon: It'll be fun to drink sake with an onmyouji as well.
Nurarihyon: Drink up.

Hidemoto: ......
Text: When it comes to his ability...
Hidemoto: I've always thought you were interesting
Hidemoto: But I never thought you'd become the world's top Ayakashi.

Text, left and right combined: Combining his ability with that sword... To think that an Ayakashi would actually make such use of the "power of yin"...
[TN: Power of "light"]

-12-
Text right: It truly is a shame that I won't be able to see
Text left: How great an Ayakashi he can become in the future

Hidemoto: ......
Hidemoto: About that sword...

Hidemoto: At some point, a rumour will develop... that just by possessing that sword
Hidemoto: One can become the Master of All Spirits.

Hidemoto: Up until now, I've created many exorcism blades...
Hidemoto: But to think that there'd be one that cut through two generations of leaders... Hagoromo Kitsune and Nurarihyon... what great fortune for a creator!

Nurarihyon: It's the perfect sword for the Master of All Spirits, don't you think?

-13-
Hidemoto: ...... [small text:]Ah well
Hidemoto: Just give it back someday, alright? ♪
Text left: I mean, it *is* actually an onmyouji's sword...

Y: Hey, Supreme Commander!!

Nattou: No no, you mean the ruler of the world!!
Youhime: Ayakashi-samaaaa~!! Help~!!!

Nurarihyon: Let's get out of here, you lot!! We're done with the capital!
Nurarihyon: Line up at my back... and follow me!

-14-
Text right: The Ayakashi, Nurarihyon...
Text left: The world of Ayakashi moves with him at its centre

Text right: Whether he will gain control of the entire country
Text left: Is another story...

Koremitsu: Damn it... I won't let this happen to me again!!
[TN: ON HIS HEAD: BALDY MR. BALDY]
Koremitsu: I'll never let ayakashi... let Nurarihyon into my house and let him eat my food again...
Koremitsu: NEVER AGAIN, MARK MY WORDS!

Text: Eventually, he joined together with a human
Text: And a child was born to him

Text: That child produced a grandson...

-15-
Text: The grandson of Nurarihyon, together with the onmyouji
Text: Is once again turning the gears of fate in the world of Ayakashi!

Servant2: What are you doing here at the main house... What's going on?!

-17-
Yura: Haaa
Yura: Haaaa
Yura: Where's Ryuuji-niichan?!
Yura: Thanks to that stupid brother of mine, I had a real time of it getting here!!

Servant1: Could it be something to do with Koreto-sama and Shuuji-sama, I wonder?
S2: How do they relate to Yura-sama?

S1: Well, you know... the *two of them* both *died*, right?
S1: And now the two youngsters, the newly-accepted Mamiru-sama and Yura-sama, have been summoned...

S2: Y... You don't mean!—
S2: Yura-sama is going to inherit the position?!

Yura: I'm coming in.
Yura: I, Yura, have returned.
