Kiyo: Youkai Quiz, Question 17~!
Kiyo: Which of the following is a fire youkai accompanied by birds? A) Tsurubebi, B) Furaribi, or C) Ubagabi
Shima: Ummm... is it C, Kiyotsugu-kun!
Kiyo: Wrong!! The correct answer is B
Kiyo: Hahaha... You've got a long way to go, Shima-kun
Kiyo: You just don't have enough spirit!
Shima: Spirit...?
Kiyo: Today, Keikain-kun's gonna fire up our spirits!!
Text: She's a pro! A youkai pro!
Text: Hahaha
Yura: Spirit...?
Kiyo: Still...
Kiyo: This place is exactly like they say... a run-down mansion
SFX: creeeeak
Rikuo: Sorry for taking so long...
Kiyo: You sure took your time, Nura-kun!!
Kiyo: Hurry up and let us in!

Kiyo: The youkai mansion is the youkai meeting place!!
Kana: Hey, Kiyotsugu-kun, that's pretty insulting to Nura-kun!
: Don't worry about it
Youkai: Th-They haven't found us out, right?... He just said youkai mansion...
Youkai: We... We'll be wiped out...
Youkai: Hiding, Hiding

Shima: ...
Shima: It feels like they really could show up...
Kana: So this is the type of place you live in, Nura-kun
Kiyo: It's a nice atmosphere! Well then, let's begin
Kiyo: Today, I was hoping...
Kiyo: That Keikain-san would give us a lecture on youkai, as a professional onmyouji
Yura: Ah

Yura: Let's see...
Yura: First, let me start with the doll from last time – that was a typical example of a
Yura: "Tsukumogami"
Shima: Tsukumogami?
Kiyo: Shima-kun! Is there nothing in that head of yours!
Yura: After spending a hundred years as a container, it transforms into a spirit, and deceives people's hearts
Yura: Tsukumogami is a container which has been abandoned and has then transformed into a youkai
Yura: Youkai can be divided into many different categories
Yura: Beings taking the form of humans
Yura: Supernatural beings such as ogres, tengu and kappa
Yura: Paranormal phenomena which have taken tangible form... things like the Furaribi mentioned earlier
Yura: You could say that about a third of all youkai are fire types
Yura: Their goal is to be feared by humans
Yura: Among them, even more dangerous beings are beasts which have transformed into youkai!
Yura: Most of them possess intelligence but not reason
Yura: They are extremely dangerous!
-08-
Yura: Moved by their desires, they bewitch you, cast a spell on you, then rip you to pieces and eat you!!
Yura: I must warn you NEVER to let them touch you!
Yura: Lastly... the one who controls all these spirits is...
Yura: The Supreme Commander of Youkai – they call him "Nurarihyon"
Yura: According to hearsay...
Yura: He's always been in this very town
Yura: "Nurarihyon"...
Yura: Although he's the master of the youkai...
Yura: He's thought to be only a small rascal of a youkai...
Yura: Yes...

Yura: Servants...?
Yura: Oh really... that woman just now...
Yura: This house... truly is strange
Rikuo: Please!! If you guys show yourselves, they'll find out this is a youkai mansion!!
Kejourou: I-I'm very sorry... I was in the kitchen so I didn't get the message...
Kejourou: I won't go in there again, not with such dangerous children in there

Rikuo: Huh?
Kiyo: Where are you going, Keikain-kun!!
Youkai: Wha?! That girl came outside!!
Youkai: Master... this isn't what we discussed...
Youkai: Anyway, let's get out of here!!
Youkai: Damn... run out by humans...
Youkai: We can't help it! It's an order from the Master!
Youkai: And I'm scared!
Yura: For some reason, I'm sensing a huge spirit presence... I just don't get it...
Kiyo: Eh!?
Kiyo: Wh...What do you mean?!
-12-
Shima?: Are you saying this house is a youkai mansion?!
Rikuo: She's already nearly found us out?!
Rikuo: Oh no...
Rikuo: My peaceful life will...
Rikuo: Guys! Let's go back inside and talk about youkai!
Rikuo: Oh!! Even better, what about a game!! We could play "Past and Present Youkai" or something!

Chapter Notes
Page 2 - Kyuuso / 旧鼠
The kanji in Kyuuso literally read "Former/Ex-Rat". A kyuuso is a rat which, after a few thousand years, has transformed into a youkai. Kyuuso are known to prey on cats, but at the same time are said to sometimes care for kittens left behind by the cats they eat.
Page 5 – Tsurubebi / 釣瓶火
Tsurubebi are pale blue-white spheres of fire which appear suddenly dangling from trees along mountain paths on quiet nights. Although they consist of fire, they do not burn the surrounding trees, and according to stories from the Edo period (~1603-1863), the flame doesn't go out in rain, and only burns brighter if water is thrown on it.
Page 5 - Furaribi / ふらり火
A youkai with the head of a dog and the body of a bird, which is engulfed in flame. It is also said to be the wandering spirit of someone who has died but not received the proper burial services.
Page 5 - Ubagabi / 姥火
Ubagabi are another fire type youkai which take the form of a 30cm ball of flame, at the centre of which is an old woman's head spouting fire. According to the legends, if the ubagabi flies over someone's shoulder, that person will die within 3 years. However, if the person says "油差し" (aburashi), then the ubagabi will disappear.

I wonder if the rats are part of the youkai conspiracy against Rikuo?
no problem! I just wanted to get this one up before school started up again on Monday, otherwise it never would have gotten done /fail
But yeah, I was thinking that too... also the longhaired "Boss" guy at the beginning on p3 kinda looks like the centre figure sitting around the fire with Nurarihyon & co in that last page of Ch5... *needs to reread 5* Another traitor from within? :x
'o' I never noticed that. Rat boy could be that long haired guy. :p There're probably more traitors within the youkai community because they don't want to be led by a fourthie who protects humans.
