Yura is all kinds of kickass :whoo Even if her powers of deduction... leave much to be desired right now. Spending an afternoon with the Supreme Commander AND being friends with his heir without realising a thing? Uhh anyway... A few things. If you use this, please include both the translator notes and chapter notes. "Yura MAX" is a great name for a move, but doesn't tell you anything about the kanji there XD; Also, might I suggest leaving the kanji for Yura's big move (in the centre of 18-19) intact on the scan, and use the reading "Yomi-okuri – Yura MAX" next to it? The rest of it is explained in the chapter note. Sorry for my pickiness! As always thanks for reading, and any advice, corrections, or comments are much appreciated!

Tsurara: ?

Tsurara: What's this?
Kiyo: Fufufu... What does it look like, I wonder?

Kiyo: A map of Japan? Ding Ding!!
Kiyo: This is the "Country-wide Youkai Distribution Map"!!

Kiyo: Take a look at these marks.

Kiyo: These are the regions where youkai appear, which we were able to find in the literature.
Kiyo: We can also make it a bar graph, like showing rainfall.
Kids: Whoa... [small text:]Huh.

Rikuo: Kiyotsugu-kun really is youkai crazy...
Tsurara: When you look at it like this, they're much higher in the west.
Tsurara: Especially in Kyoto

Tsurara: And...
Tsurara: Shikoku

-09-
Kiyo: That's right!!
Kiyo: Whether you're looking at population or history, Shikoku and the area around the centre of the country are areas with a high frequency of youkai appearances.
Kiyo: The only major areas are places like the northeast and Kansai...

Kiyo: It may be minor, but you could probably call this the Youkai Kingdom.
Kids: Hmmm

Torii: Hey... Yura-chan's from Kyoto, right?
Torii: Huh?

Torii: Why isn't she here today?
Torii: Now that I think of it, she leaves early on the 5th and 20th, doesn't she?
Rikuo: Hm?

Rikuo: Karasu Tengu?
Rikuo: He's flying around without noticing everyone here
Rikuo: At full speed

Chapter Notes
Some of the move/spell names were simpler to translate than others, but in keeping with previous chapters I've done, I left in the Japanese and provided a basic translation in TN form for each. I included the note for the longer move from 19 - can't miss it; huge string of 7 kanji ^^; - below.

Page 1, Onmyoujutsu
Just in case... this means techniques used by onmyouji.

Page 4, Kamaitachi
A youkai with long, sharp claws like sickles which appears riding a whirling wind, slicing and slashing at people as it passes. It is often said to take the form of a weasel distorted by wind.

Page 4, Muchi
Muchi means whip, or lash. The character's name appears in plain katakana ( ムチ ), but on Page 10 the same word appears in kanji ( 鞭 ), as part of what I've called "Sandstrike Whip".

Page 18-19, Yomi-okuri – Yura MAX
This is the alternate reading given to the long jutsu name. "Yomi-okuri" means to send to hell / the underworld. Yura MAX... well, yeah.
The actual kanji that appear are 黄泉送葬水包銃 (Yomi Sousou Suihou Juu? Pure guesswork here.) Yomi as mentioned above is hell, sousou means a funeral/burial or attending a funeral, 水包 (what I guessed as suihou) is something like "enveloping water", and finally (whew) Juu means gun. As far as I can tell, Yura has a fish shikigami that, when merged with her (as per p18's Human-Shikigami combine move), turns into a gun that shoots purifying/exorcising water, shooting youkai into oblivion? XD

Sorry for these rambling notes - hopefully they were more of a help than a hindrance!

As far as I can tell, those two kanji's seem to be 廉貞, and the furigana given is れいてい/れんてい, of which れい is not the usual reading, but there are plenty of examples where on-readings can deviate. I'm less sure about the second kanji, though, because of what seems like a 刂. Perhaps 式神廉貞 altogether means something to do with exorcism with shikigami?

You also forgot Shii Bashi Hiroshi after Keikainryuu Onmyoujutsu on page 2.

As for the 「わしの。。。あずかり知らんとこじゃの。。。」, your translation is more or less correct, but it can also mean something like "Not where I'm in charge of" or "Not where I'm involved", considering that his response is to the fact that Muchi is from Shikoku, a physical location. But your translation is completely appropriate as well - my interpretation is just a hunch of a native speaker :D

And overall, a nice job on your translations!
