: Act 9: Rikuo Has A Fever.

-05-
Zen: Here
Zen: I brought medicine
Kejourou: Thank you very much, Master Zen

Zen: ......

Zen: Your "Day" form is such a wimp
Zen: You get a little worked up and now you have a fever?

-06-
Rikuo: ......
Rikuo: I don't want to be told that by you

Zen: Right now you're in much worse shape
Zen: But... I owe you
Zen: I had high hopes for you... Man, soon as it's morning you go back to normal huh...

Zen: Hey, you really don't remember anything about going for the fight?

Rikuo: That...

Rikuo: ......
Zen: Ugh, fine fine
Zen: I heard it all from Karasu Tengu anyway

-07-
Zen: You know, I wanted *that* you to take up position as the Third...
Rikuo: ......

Kejourou: Master Zen
Kejourou: Master Rikuo needs his rest

Kejourou: What about you? Is it alright for you not to be sleeping right now?
Zen: Ch...
Zen: While my house is being repaired, I'm just a bird of migration

Zen: 4 o'clock, huh...

Zen: It's nearly time for the meeting
Zen: I'm off... Later, Rikuo

Rikuo: Ah... Zen....

-08-
Yuki Onna: Master~~~ I'm sorry!!

Yuki Onna: This isn't like me at all!! I'm supposed to be your trusted aide!!
Text: Waaaahhhh
Yuki Onna: I just went to school as normal without realising you hadn't gone!!
Yuki Onna: Y... Y... You have a cold, right?

Yuki Onna: I will humbly accept any punishment…

Yuki Onna: Hiie...
Bubble: Hot
SFX: hssssss

Text: Hiiieeee over 40°C!
Rikuo: Tsurara?! Are you okay?!
Kejourou?: You need to move back!!
Zen: ...
Text: I hate her

-09-
Daruma: The instruction to "send out a decree"...
Daruma: There's no reason for those from a clan which has already been expelled to say that

Daruma: Most likely, Kyuuso was working under someone else's orders

-10-
Nurarihyon: So
Nurarihyon: Even though Rikuo transformed into a youkai again
Nurarihyon: There are those who won't just say, "Good" to that...

Nurarihyon: There are some like that... amongst us too...

[box:]
Gyuuki Clan Leader
Gyuuki

Daruma: That should come as no surprise
Daruma: No matter how many times he transforms, during the day he's human
Daruma: On top of that, if he doesn't even remember the times from when he was transformed...

Nurarihyon: Daruma, whose side are you on!!
Daruma: I've only said this much for the sake of the clan

Daruma: Right now, there are guys like Kyuuso running wild in the main house's territory!!
Daruma: We have to sort out the clan right away!!

-11-
Nurarihyon: Why you—!!
Youkai: Gyahahaha
Youkai: It's not so peaceful around here

Youkai: Well... with this many problems, he won't be taking up position as the Third anytime soon... [small text:] whisper whisper

Nurarihyon: Gyuuki, what do you think?

Gyuuki: ......
Gyuuki: The one who killed Gagoze, who tried to cause an uprising,
Gyuuki: Who killed Hebi Dayuu, and who annihilated Kyuuso, was unmistakably the young master

Gyuuki: There is no doubt about his ability
Nurarihyon: Hmmm

Youkai: ...

-12-
Gyuuki: However, the fact is that even if he transforms, he can only become a youkai for a quarter of the day
Gyuuki: It is also true that if this carries on... the complaints will only increase.

Youkai: Sounds like you're not satisfied with Master Rikuo

Gyuuki: No, I'm still in the process of examining the situation
Gyuuki: Let's take our time thinking about this

SFX right: stare
Youkai: That again?
Youkai: Gyuuki... you're smart
Youkai: But you think so long and hard about things that you take forever to make a decision!

Youkai: Cows are the only ones whose special talent is hurrying slowly~ [small text:] Ohohoho
SFX: Heh...

Youkai: Look at him, pretending to be all goody-goody
SFX : Ch...

-13-
SFX: murmur
SFX: mutter
Nurarihyon: ......

Nurarihyon: At any rate…the one who used Kyuuso must be forced to pay for what he's done
Daruma: Yes. Our authority cannot be questioned

Nurarihyon: Karasu Tengu...
Karasu Tengu: Sir

Nurarihyon: Find out if there's anyone who was connected with Kyuuso
SFX: murmur
SFX: mutter

Karasu Tengu: And if there is a traitor...?

Nurarihyon: In the current situation, we can only trust those of the Main House!!
Nurarihyon: I'm counting on you, Karasu Tengu!!

Karasu Tengu: Understood!
Karasu Tengu: Then I shall send out my sons
Karasu Tengu: The Sanbagarasu!

-14-
Rikuo: ......

Rikuo: Oiiii Tsurara...
Rikuo: Tsurara
Rikuo: The ice...
Rikuo: The ice is too big...

SFX: footsteps
Rikuo: You're finally here...
Rikuo: Tsurara, could you do something about..

Rikuo: Eh?

Kana: Hey there!
Rikuo: K... Kana?!

-15-
Kiyo: It's not just Ienaga!
Rikuo: Wahh!!
Rikuo: Kiyotsugu?!

Rikuo: And even Torii and Maki...
Rikuo: Or rather... the Kiyo Cross Squad...
Maki?: Wow, so this is the Youkai Mansion~~
Kejourou: Okay, I'll leave you kids alone
Kiyo: Thank you very much, Nura's Big Sister!!

Rikuo: Wh..
Rikuo: What are you guys doing here?

Kiyo: Don't be like that!!
Kiyo: You're pathetic, Nura!!
Kiyo: Catching a cold is the sign of an idiot!!

Kana: We came to see how you were doing
Kiyo: You better be grateful! My family!

-16-
Youkai: Whoa!! What are those guys doing here again!!
Kappa: Not good
Youkai: But wait... that onmyouji isn't there?

Kiyo: Unfortunately, Yura had to go buy some new school uniform

Rikuo: I... I see...
Rikuo: That's one less thing to worry about...

Kana: Are you okay, Rikuo? Did you take any medicine?
Rikuo: Yeah... but I'm still not better yet...
Kiyo: Get better on your own!
Torii: Nura's such a wimp~ even Kana and Yura came to school after being attacked by youkai!
Maki: I know, right?

Rikuo: Kana... you got back safely after that... thank goodness

Kana: Hm?

Kana: Just wait a little, I'll go get you some medicine
Maki: That's the childhood friend for you~
Maki: She'll make such a good bride

-17-
Yuki Onna: Sorry for the wait, Master Ri—

SFX: smash

Yuki Onna: Wha...
Yuki Onna: Ienaga...
Kiyo: Huh...
Kiyo: Oikawa?!
Kiyo: What are you doing here?!

Kiyo: Aha~!! So you came by to visit him before us?
Kiyo: You even made him tea... you're such a thoughtful girl
Rikuo: ......

Yuki Onna: H... Hohoho...
Yuki Onna: Calm down!!
Text: I've got to stop thinking they're trying to trick us so they can wipe us all out!!

-18-
Rikuo: Th... That's right, you guys...
Rikuo: She only got here a minute ago though...
Yuki Onna: Y-Yeah... I was with you when you were on your way here
Kiyo: Huh? Maybe you're right...

Kana: No...
Kana: W...Wait... a minute...

Kana: Just now, when I came in...
Text: Didn't Rikuo say, "Tsurara"?
Kana: Th... The two of them...?

Kiyo: Right!! Let's stop the patient nursing time for now!!
Kiyo: I'm going to announce the plans for Golden Week!!

Shima: Eh?
Shima: G... Golden Week?
Shima: The one that starts this weekend?
Kiyo: That's right!! You guys aren't doing anything, right?
Kiyo: Unlike me, who is so active!!

-19-
Kiyo: We're going to meet a professor of youkai who I've been in contact with previously!!

Torii: Eh?!
Maki: Wh... What do you mean?!
Maki: We're gonna be staying together?!
Maki: My bad feeling was spot on...

Kana: ......

Kiyo: The location is Mount Nejireme, where I also have a holiday house!!
Kiyo: In his area, where even now great numbers of youkai legends remain... we're going for youkai training!!
Text: The Start of the Golden Week Forced Youkai Training Camp...?!

Chapter Notes

Page 3, The money spirit can smell your money! / 金霊 （かねだま）は金気（きんき）だぞ！！
I was completely stumped by this line. Kirimi offered this, which is what has made most sense to me so far: "I think literally, it says "the spirit of money can smell your money" which is like saying if you hoard too much, the spirit will come and take it away." (Keep in mind, she says this is a complete guess and isn't sure about it at all, but for now it works for me!) Going by this, Kiyotsugu seems to be telling Kana she's taking too much time for herself when they need to be "spending" it on their investigations. I love the dork, but all his big talk does my head in ^^;

Page 13, Sanbagarasu / 三羽烏
This term can be used to refer to a trio in a certain field of study or expertise who are experts and top of their league. Literally, the kanji actually say "3 crows", which allows Karasu Tengu to use it with either of the meanings.
