Kejourou: Oh come on, that was pathetic!
Kejourou: We'll send every last one of you down to the underworld!

Ibaraki: Oi...
Ibaraki: Did you guys just let them beat you?

Kejourou: Mm... Working together is definitely best for us.
Kejourou: I'm the only one behind you.

Kejourou: So now
Kejourou: You can face forward and attack.

Kejourou: Because alone
Kejourou: We're weak.

Kubinashi: .........

Text: He told me
Y: You heard?
Y: Looks like he's on the prowl again... that "Kubinashi"...
Text: Something similar...

Y: This time he was out at Nihonbashi, stringing up a whole hoard of youkai by the neck.

-07-
Y: I heard he's "come out"
Y: To kill us youkai.

Y: Apparently, when he was alive, he and his friend were toyed with and killed by youkai.
Y: They say that he himself became a youkai in order to exact revenge, and travels around killing youkai after youkai...

Y: What should we do, Supreme Commander?
Y: Are we really going to just let this "Kubinashi"
Y: Run amok on our turf?

Nidaime: Hmmm... He's a problem, for sure.
Nidaime: Nope, we can't just let him alone
Nidaime: Obviously...

-08-
Nidaime: We'll have to get rid of him.

Nidaime: You sure are strong
Nidaime: But enough's enough, don't you think?

-09-
Kubinashi: What was... that "Fear" just now...
Kubinashi: I've never seen it before...

Nidaime: We call that one a "sacred act."
Nidaime: It's a type of Fear that only the leader of a Hyakki Yakou can use.

Nidaime: You'll always be stronger if you've got nakama.
Nidaime: Don't you think?
[TN: ally/friend/partner/comrade, see last chapter]

Kubinashi: Ha... They're nothing
Kubinashi: But a hindrance.
Kubinashi: Anyone needing to be protected just gets in the way.

Kubinashi: When you lose your nakama, you only despair.
Kubinashi: I'm... going to slaughter your Hyakki Yakou... alone.

Nidaime: ......
Nidaime: Is that so?...

-10-
Kejourou: Wait!!

Kejourou: Master, I beg of you! I will give you my life to take
Kejourou: If only you spare this one man!

Kubinashi: Kino, you shouldn't have come out!!
Kubinashi: Get away from here, now!!

Nidaime: ......
Nidaime: Huh?...

-11-
Nidaime: What's this?...
Nidaime: You're being protected by someone too!

Kejourou: ......

Nidaime: Listen up, Kubinashi.

-12-
Nidaime: Hold fast to your life, for the sake of those you hold dear...
Nidaime: True strength is what this woman here just showed.

Nidaime: Your "strength"
Nidaime: Is just a bluff.

Nidaime: Kubinashi

Nidaime: Anyone can fight alone if they aren't carrying any burdens.
Nidaime: But here in the Nura Clan... we fight to protect those who are important to us.

-13-
Nidaime: Makes more sense, right?
Text: That's what the Second said to me.

Kubinashi: My strength
Kubinashi: Is a bluff...?
Text: It was the same back then...
Text: Then I exchanged sakazuki with that man

Text: And I found out
Text: The true meaning of those words.

Kejourou: Sorry, but if you even start to think my hair is scary, or too beautiful
Kejourou: Then neither fire nor lightning will ever get past it.

Y: Gnnngh...
Y: Brghh...

Ibaraki: Hey, I thought you guys were oni!
Ibaraki: Quit standing around like you've been hypnotised!
[TN: demons, ogres]

Ibaraki: Hair?
Ibaraki: Just cut right through it.

-19-
Kubinashi: I guess
Kubinashi: I really am
Kubinashi: Just like a weak, pushover youkai.

Kubinashi: You've shown me that, yet again.
Kubinashi: Thank you.

Kejourou: ......
Kejourou: You idiot...
