Box: Hari Onna, one of the Heads of Shikoku's Hachijuuhakki Yakou
Box: Could not understand what had just happened.

Box: In order to defeat the intruders
Box: Without a moment's hesitation, he even cut down his allies who had been holding them down.
Text: Tamazuki – a ruthless spirit
Box: She could not comprehend Tamazuki's actions.

Box: "This... is our commander"—
Box: "Why... Why have I followed this man?..."
Box: Thus she asked herself.

Tamazuki: I won't deal the final blow.
Tamazuki: I'll leave you with just the tiniest speck of life... enough that if your spirit breaks, you'll disappear.

Tamazuki: ......

Tamazuki: Are you here on Nura Rikuo's orders...?

[WHY DO THEY NOT HAVE NAMES YET SHIIBASHI D:] Karasu: I have no reason to answer you.
Karasu: This is Nura Clan turf.

Text: They acted alone?
Tamazuki: I'd like a few like you over here...
Text: Heh... those are some nice subordinates you've got there.

-05-
Karasu: Let's go!!

Tamazuki: Stop.
Tamazuki: Let them go...

Karasu 2: What a piece of work!!
Karasu 1: Hey, Gozumaru, hang in there!

Karasu 3: That guy... I've never seen anything like it!!
Karasu 3: He cut down even his own allies like it was nothing!

Karasu 1: Still...
Karasu 1: A menacing figure...

-06-
Tamazuki: Hmph...

Tamazuki: With just those wounds...
Tamazuki: When they see those wounds

Tamazuki: Our enemy
Tamazuki: Will be made to think

Tamazuki: That their plans won't work
Tamazuki: And that we're reading their thoughts.

Tamazuki: I can just picture
Tamazuki: Their dismay.

Tamazuki: The time has come.
Tamazuki: Tonight, we launch our main attack on the Nura Clan main house.

-07-
Box: Tamazuki—
Box: Yes, this is Tamazuki... Our commander...

Box: He fears no one, and moves forward with a smile.
Box: He is fearsome... However—
Tamazuki: We'll take advantage of this, and in one foul swoop take control.

Hari Onna: If we follow behind this man—

Text: Gramps, wait! Where are you going?
Text: I'm going too!

Nurari: Rikuo
Nurari: Like I'm always telling you, you can't come with us.

Nurari: Youkai use spirit magic, fly around in the sky, disappear and reappear as they please, use both sword techniques and martial arts, and can change their appearance... they surpass normal imagination.
Nurari: A kid like you just can't do all that yet...

Rikuo: But
Rikuo: I'm your grandson, aren't I?

Nurari: If that's the case, Rikuo...
Nurari: Then become someone feared by both humans and youkai.

-09-
Nurari: When you've done that... Every youkai will become your subordinate.
Nurari: Become the Master of All Spirits, Rikuo.

Text: That's right—
Text: I have to bring everyone together.

Text: I have to control
Text: The Hyakki Yakou I've taken over from Grandpa.
Rikuo: Don't lose your confidence!
Rikuo: I'm sure that... it'll go well

Karasu: Father!

Karasu Tengu: What is it, my son?

Karasu: Is Master Zen here?!
Karasu: Call Master Gyuuki here too!!

-10-
Karasu: What?!
Karasu: But what on earth happened to them?...
Karasu: Gozu and Mezu... where have they gone and wandered off to this time?!

Rikuo: ?!

Rikuo?: Gozumaru!! Mezumaru!!

Gyuuki: Gozu... just hang on!!
Karasu: Hey, Mezu's in bad shape!
Gyuuki: Bring them in.

-11-
Youkai 1: Looks like they infiltrated the enemy headquarters.
Y1: So they knew where the base was, then?

Y1: What do they think they're doing, keeping the heads in the dark and acting on their own?!
Hitotsume: A poorly-thought out attack will just make things worse! Are they complete morons?

Youkai: Whose plan was that?
Youkai 2: Gyuuki's, probably... but what a foolish move...

Rikuo: Gozumaru...
Rikuo: I'm sorry...
Rikuo: It's my fault.

Rikou: You... were just acting on my orders...
Rikuo: But... to think something like this would happen...

Tsurara: Those were... Rikuo-sama's orders?!

-12-
Gozu: You shut the hell up... Do you really think— *cough*
Gozu: —That I'D get beaten up because of YOU... a human?!

Gozu: ......
Gozu: I just... wasn't strong enough...

Rikuo: Gozumaru...
Y1: So it was... Rikuo-sama's plan...
Y2: Gozumaru... and Mezumaru, huh...
Y2: So then...

Y2: It must be impossible with Rikuo-sama, right?
Y1: Well, you know... just as expected, if he's not the Supreme Commander...
Y1: There's no way he can lead
Y1: This clan, a youkai company.

-13-
Y1: Ultimately, he's just a human kid... have Gyuuki and Daruma really left everything in his hands?...
Y2: Haven't they misjudged his abilities...?

Text: I can't... keep them together...
Text: The Hyakki is... falling apart...

Gyuuki: Master...
Gyuuki: This course of action was one I recommended...
Gyuuki: The responsibility for this... lies with the Gyuuki Clan.
Text: That's not true...
Text: Stop it, Gyuuki
Text: You did nothing wrong

Shouei: Those Shikoku bastards, who the fuck do they think they are?! Doing whatever the hell they want on Nura Clan turf!!
Shouei: Well if that's how it is, we need to get out there, right everyone!?

Shouei: What's with you guys!!
Shouei: Why... Why's no one responding?!

Shouei: Rikuo-sama!! Now's the time for the Hyakki Yakou to set out!!
Shouei: Let's show them the power of the Nura Clan!!

Shouei: Ri...

Rikuo: Uuugh...
Speech: gu-haah—

Tsurara: Ri...
Tsurara: Rikuo-sama!!

Youkai: What?! What happened?!
Youkai 2: All of a sudden, Rikuo-sama just...

Youkai: Carry him inside!!
Text: What was that...
Youkai: Zen! Zen!!
Text: Suddenly... my vision...
Youkai: Rikuo-sama, he—

Text: Went completely black...

Rikuo: Hn...
Rikuo: Nnn...

Tsurara: !
Tsurara: Rikuo-sama!!
Tsurara: Are you alright?
Tsurara: Thank goodness... you woke up
Rikuo: ......

Tsurara: You just collapsed all of a sudden... you really scared us~!
Tsurara: What's wrong? You don't have a fever or anything...
Rikuo: Oh... so that's what happened?
Rikuo: I... collapsed...?
Tsurara: I wonder if Zen-sama's medicine worked.

Rikuo: Ah.. yeah...
Rikuo: I... made you all worry, huh...

Zen: Stop right there
Zen: Stay in bed.
Zen: Oi... you guys should get going too and let him rest.
Youkai: Huh?

Tsurara: Ah!
Tsurara: Hey—don't push me~!

Rikuo: Zen-kun... I'm alright.
Rikuo: And if I don't go now...

-17-
Zen: ......
Zen: In front of them...
Zen: Even you...
Zen: Can't say what you really think, right?

Zen: Rikuo
Zen: How long have you not been sleeping?
Zen: You've got school during the day, and at night you're patrolling the town.
Zen: Of course you're gonna collapse, doing all that.
Zen: You're just overdoing it...

Rikuo: ......

Rikuo: Zen-kun... I'm not overdoing it or anything like that...
Rikuo: If I can't even make myself do this much... it's hopeless.

-18-
Rikuo: Because I'm Nurarihyon's grandson
Rikuo: As the young head...
Rikuo: I have to... keep the Hyakki Yakou together.

Rikuo: And I made a promise to Gyuuki!!
Rikuo: That I wouldn't shut my eyes to this any longer...
Rikuo: I... have to do it...

Zen: Rikuo...
Zen: You...
Zen: Don't really think that.

Rikuo: Yes it is!!
Rikuo: That really is how I feel!!
Rikuo: But right now... my subordinates don't trust me!!
Rikuo: That's why... I have to keep trying!!

Rikuo: Uwahh!

Zen: Are you a retard?! The Hyakki Yakou
Zen: Were your grandfather's followers to begin with!
Zen: The ones who don't sense the chivalry in you won't follow you... so just forget about them!!
Rikuo: Zen-kun...?

-19-
Zen: I'll follow you.
Zen: Because I... drank the pledge of loyalty with you.

Zen: Rikuo
Zen: You... have to form your own Hyakki Yakou!!
