Nurarihyon no Mago 18

I couldn't find much for "菟歩 / uho", but it did lead me to a sort of classical Japanese Jabberwocky, so it's not a total failure!...

Yeeeah. Moving on. No proofreading this week, so any advice / comments / corrections definitely appreciated.

Rikuo: It's useless~~~
Nurarihyon: Hahaha
Nura: What're you tryin' to do, Rikuo~~~

Nura: Was that s'posed to be Meikyou Shisui?
Nura: When you were little, you were always watchin' me and tryin' to copy it~

Rikuo: Gramps...
Nura: Hahaha... Ju~st like before
Nura: Again you feel like you wanna take over from me and be "Just like Gramps~~~", huh?
Text: Am I right, Karasu~
Karasu: Sure are...

Rikuo: Yeah
Rikuo: I've... still got time.

Nura: Better give it up! Humans can't use youkai magi—
Text: Haha
Nura: Huh? Whaaaaaaat?!

Rikuo: Gramps... I will become The Third!
Rikuo: I can't let the clan... be led astray anymore.

Karasu: Su... Supreme Commander... t-this is...
Nura: Hmmph~ Am I dreamin' or something?
Nura: What the heck did Gyuuki beat into him...

Rikuo: Huh... You knew?
Nura: 'Course I did!!
Nura: I heard you told Karasu's sons to keep quiet about it, but...

Nura: I heard you fought Gyuuki!!
Nura: That ass... I take him under my wing and he does a crazy thing like this?!

Nura: Bastard! He deserves expulsion! Or he should commit seppuku!...
Karasu: W-Wait a minute, Supreme Commander...!
Karasu: You don't know the details yet, so there's no need to go that far...

-08-
Rikuo: That's right, Gramps! Gyuuki was thinking of the clan when he staged the coup d'etat!
Rikuo: You could say it was because of me!!

Rikuo: So that's why you can't give him any weird punishments!
Rikuo: None at all!!

Nura: Huh?
Rikuo: Ah— it's already this late
Rikuo: I've gotta get to school!!

Rikuo: Ack... all the youkai sake fell in the pond!!
Rikuo: Are you okay, Kappa?!
Text: Heheee~
Kappa: Yup, I'm fiiiiine~~

Nura: So he's gonna let off the retainer... who tried to kill him...
Nura: With no rebuke whatsoever?
Nura: What the hell, he's way too soft... He's acting just like a human...

Nura: Would the Supreme Commander of Youkai ever be so pure?!
Rikuo: Wh... What're you so angry about, Gramps...

Kana: ......
Kana: Um...
Kana: I'm really sorry.

Kid: Ah...
Kid: I... see... [small text: ] Haha...

Kid: Is it because... you already have someone you like?

Kana: ......
Kana: It's... not that I *like* him or anything, but... there's someone I'm interested in...

Boy: Did he just *confess*?

Boy 1: Who's the girl? Heheheh
Boy 2: That's... Ienaga Kana!

Boy 1: Oh!! I know her!!
Boy 1: She's real cute!
Boy 2: Seriously? Wow, you're right...

Boy: If we're looking at all the first years... she'd be up there in the Top 5, wouldn't she?
Text: Uh huh
Boy: But... What was it about her?... She's cute, but...

Boy: I heard she's
Boy: In a real weird club!
Boy: Weird?

Yura: OK, that right there! That was wrong!!
Yura: You do the Shikigami Stance like THIS!!

Yura: You won't be able to do it if you're embarrassed!!
Yura: The important thing is not to lose to the youkai in the strength of your feelings! You have to be a threat to them!!

Yura: That's right, that's right, don't forget those steps.

Yura: And then you can escape the youkai
Yura: It's not running away!! This is a way of staying alive!!

Yura: The onmyouji's "Uho" is a step towards the future defending yourself from youkai!!
Girls: Why... do we...
Girls: Have to learn this~~~

Girls: Yura-chan, you're waaay too strict!
Yura: This is for your own good!!
Yura: Or do you fancy being attacked in the nude again?

Text: She's not like you, Kiyotsugu-kun...

Kana: Haaa...

Kana: Uwah... so sleepy...
Kana: I didn't sleep well at all... because of that weird nightmare...

Kana: Now I think of it... it's like that's why I get scared now.
Kana: Because of that... dream...
