Nurarihyon no Mago 96

Not gonna lie. End of p14 + Chapter ending? I exploded. One spot on p14 I wasn't sure of (last line). Line on p14 edited 28/2, thanks to Runte and unok-kun for the help.

Also, did anyone scan / have plans to scan a HQ version of the anime info page? (was opposite the colour page.)

Text: Has everyone been beaten?

Text: Forget that!
Text: I won't let him

Kejourou: Rikuo-sama...?
Text: I won't let him

Itaku: Rikuo...

Text: He won't do any more harm my Hyakki Yakou!!

-04-
Kubinashi: Rikuo-sama...!
Kejourou: Hey, wa—Did he turn back into a human?!

Ryuuji: It's the seal.
Ryuuji: The spirit aura has completely cleared from this area.

Yura: Eh?... No!
Yura: Nura-kun... Is he really going to attack Tsuchigumo while he's human?! That's crazy!!

-05-
Text: Rikuo!!
Text: You know your Fear didn't work against him before!!

Text: Youkai techniques are determined by fear.
Text: There's no way you can frighten him... He decimated a Hyakki Yakou on his own.

Itaku: Don't attack!!
Awashima: Rikuo!!

Tsuchigumo: Nn

Kejourou: Eh?...

Awashima: Wha—

Y: Ri... Rikuo-sama!!
Y: It sliced through...?!
Y: He cut through... Tsuchigumo?!

Kubinashi: ......
Y: Wh... What did he just do...?

Hidemoto: Nenekirimaru

Hidemoto: Ryuuji, Yura... Look.
Hidemoto: That is Nenekirimaru...

Tsuchigumo: ......
Tsuchigumo: What... is this...

-09-
SFX: nura...

Y: Rikuo-sama!!
Y: It's... finally working against Tsuchigumo?!

Kubinashi: We've... seen this before
Kubinashi: Last time... when the day and night melded into one...

-10-
Rikuo: OOOOOOO
Rikuo: OOOOOOHHHHH

Tsuchigumo: Don't get ahead of yourself.

Box: For the next 14 minutes

-12-
Kubinashi: RIKUO-SAMA!!
Box: Ignoring the standstill around him, Tsuchigumo did nothing but continually pummel Rikuo.

Box: This ended up being the most humiliating moment of the Nura Clan's 500 year history.
Box: "The Prolonged Torment of the Commander."
Box: His guard was unable to protect him, the blade of the assault captain could not find its mark. All those around could only curse their powerlessness, and watch.
Text: Tsuchigumo truly was an ayakashi they should never have met.

Box: Nura Clan Main House

Nurarihyon: Haa!
Nurarihyon: Haa!

Karasu: What on earth is the Supreme Commander doing?
Daruma: Well...

Daruma: He has been like that ever since he heard the news of Hagoromo Gitsune's revival.
Daruma: It has him all worked up... And for good reason.

Daruma: If the youkai of the capital continue their rampage, eventually this will develop into seeking out revenge on our clan.
Daruma: In which case, the Nura Clan must also increase their fighting power.
Daruma(?): We should have stopped him... What need was there for Rikuo-sama to head out himself, when he was still in his developmental stage?
Karasu(?): Something to do with saving the onmyouji girl... The human blood continues to influence him poorly.

-14-
Nurarihyon: What's with all this negative thinking?
Nurarihyon: I reckon we should just wait and see how far Rikuo can go, don't you?

K/D: Commander.
Nurarihyon: This is the first time he's come out and said of his own volition that he wanted to go beat someone up, you know? We should be respecting him for that~

Karasu: True... but don't you think it was too early for him?!
Karasu: Rikuo-sama has a weakness – the human blood within him...

Nurarihyon: I wouldn't be able to defeat Hagoromo Gitsune as I am now
Nurarihyon: But Rikuo might just be able to manage it.

Karasu: Eh?...
Nurarihyon: Human blood doesn't necessarily have to be a weakness... That's what I think.
Nurarihyon: That kid's the only one who knows the truth behind the Second's death, too... He doesn't talk about it, but I sense a strong will in him.

Nurarihyon: Don't worry... I've sent the man I trust most of all to him.
Daruma: ...Oho. You really are sweet on that grandson of yours, aren't you?
Nurarihyon: He's the one who wanted to go.

Tsuchigumo: Hmm
Tsuchigumo SFX bubble: bssshhuu

Tsuchigumo: This has gotten old.
Tsuchigumo: Guess I should get going.

Y: Ri...
Y: kuo...sama...

Rikuo: I... can't...
Rikuo: Lose... here...

Tsuchigumo: ......What is with you?
Tsuchigumo: Why won't you just break?!

-17-
Nattou: Master...
Nattou: Please... Don't stand up anymore...

Rikuo: ......No...
Rikuo: I am... the commander...

Text: Hey, wait just a minute
Text: Did I... not ask him the "question"...?

Tsuchigumo: Look at him...

Tsuchigumo: Hey, you...

-18-
Tsuchigumo: I'll be taking her for now.

-19-
Rikuo: ......?! Ah... Uu...
Rikuo: W... What do you... think you're... doing?!...

Tsuchigumo: I'll be at the Second Seal.
Tsuchigumo: Probably, anyway.

Tsuchigumo: Come find me.

Rikuo: Hey... Stop... Don't mess around...
Rikuo: Tsuchigumo...

Rikuo: TSUCHIGUMOOOOOOOOOO

Y: Capital youkai... they're so strong...
Y: I never thought they'd be so powerful

Y: Can we... really beat them...?
Zen: Ugh
Zen: You're all beat up, Rikuo...

Zen: Rikuo... you did well to survive.
Zen: You're... unbelievably stubborn.

Zen: But...
Text: What should we do?

Text (L+R): Have we come rushing out here too soon, without knowing a damn thing...?

Gyuuki: Rikuo...
Gyuuki: Do you seriously intend to become head of the Nura Clan like that?

Zen: Huh?...

Gyuuki: I will be taking
Gyuuki: Your commander.

Gyuuki: Stand up
Gyuuki: Rikuo
