Ao: Gouriki Raisan!

Ao: Man, has it really been 4 years since I brought out my strength?
Ao: I guess I've only been up against humans since I became Rikuo-sama's bodyguard...

Ao: Haaaa... that stings...
Kuro: Ah—!!
Kuro: Have you already defeated him, Ao!

Ao: What do you want, moron... what'd you come over here for all of a sudden?
Kuro: Damn! Then I'll go and help Kappa instead!!

Gangi: Gegege~ stop running away, you little runt!!

Kappa: I'm not running away~

Kappa: Fuuu~ that was fun!
Kuro: Ahhhh!!
Kuro: Kappa defeated his one too...

Kappa: What's up, Kuro
Kappa small text: How's it going?
Kuro: Damn it, I was too late again...
Kuro: The Nura Clan's strength is overwhelming!...
Kuro: Oh! That's right, Kubinashi isn't done yet...

-10-
Kuro: Ah
Kejourou: Geez, that Kubinashi... he'll be holding back just because his opponent's a girl!
Kejourou: He's just hopeless!

Text: H.. Huh? What am I supposed to do...?

Kuro: ...I-I did fine, just fine!
Kuro: I was the one who defeated Sodemogi-sama, after all!
Kuro: And I... I got a thank you letter... from Kokehime!... Hmph!

Kubinashi: ...would you just give up already?
Kubinashi: You can't win against our clan.

Kubinashi: Sorry to break it to you...
Kubinashi: But not in numbers... or scale...

Kubinashi: Or in ability!

Hari Onna: Ehh?!
Kubinashi: I wanted to see you with a ponytail~ ♪

Hari Onna: Shut up!! Shikoku... We...
Hari Onna: We're going to rule over all the youkai!!

Kubinashi: I really don't get it.
Kubinashi: There's no way you're all strong enough to warrant such high hopes. Do you just have no idea what it's like outside Shikoku?

Kubinashi: Or...
Kubinashi: Is your commander... just that charming?...

Hari Onna: Of... Of course!...
Kubinashi: He's really that strong...?
Kubinashi: In that case, I can understand it.
Kubinashi: But...

Kubinashi: I wouldn't want a boss
Kubinashi: Who kills his own comrades.

Hari Onna: Huh?

Kubinashi: He was eliminated, even after showing his loyalty...
Kubinashi: Inugami was.

-12-
Kubinashi: You... seriously don't know?
Kubinashi: How Inugami died...

Text: Inugami...

Text: Inugami... Why did you become our ally?
Text: You were a human to begin with, right?... Wouldn't you have been happier if you just kept on living as a human?

Hari Onna: Is he really that charming?...
Hari Onna: Just what is Tamazuki to you? Hahaha

Inugami: Tamazuki...
Inugami: He changed me.

-13-
Inu: He forced my dormant power to awaken.
Inu: I mean... Tamazuki probably only thinks of it as gaining another soldier, but...

Hari Onna: That's not true... I'm sure he thinks of you as a fine ally. I mean, he's always—
Inu: Hari Onna
Inu: I can't think of him as an ally.

Inu: If he had kept on tormenting me like that
Inu: And nothing had happened
Inu: He would have tossed me aside, thinking that was all there was to me. That's the type of guy he is.

Inu: But I woke up.
Inu: I do feel hatred
Inu: But I'm also grateful...

Inu: That's why I'll follow him.
Inu: Besides, he told me...

-14-
Inu: He told me he'd take me to a new world.

Inu: If I stay below him, I might be able to move upwards.
Inu: I'm glad I met him.

Text: Inugami
Text: No one had more loyalty than you.
Text: I... just went along with Tamazuki... because I was afraid of him.

Text: Inugami
Text: Were you truly happy?

Hari Onna: Yes... that's what I thought! That's how terrifying he is!!
Hari Onna: Isn't that what it takes to be a commander?!

-15-
Kubinashi: That...
Kubinashi: Is not "Fear"...

Kejourou: Kubinashi...
Kubinashi: Sorry, but could you just sit quietly for a while?

-16-17-
Tamazuki: Every one of you...
Tamazuki: You're all utterly useless...

Tamazuki: Ah well, not that it matters...

Tamazuki: After all...
Y1: !
Y2: Tamazuki-sama?

Tamazuki: You can still be used.

Tamazuki: All of you... Sacrifice yourselves for me.

Y1: T-Tamazuki-sama?!
Y2: GYAHHHH!

-18-
Kuro: ?! What's he doing?!
Kappa: Whoa...
Text above Kappa: Gyahhhh!

Kubinashi: He's...
Kubinashi: Killing his allies?!
Hari Onna: Tamazuki-sama...

Hari Onna: Please stop!!
Hari Onna: What are you doing to our al—

Kubinashi: !!

-19-
Tamazuki: Fwhahaha... Just watch, Rikuo!!
Text: Tamazuki on a rampage? And just what does he mean by Maou?!...
Tamazuki: With the blood of my underlings, I will become the Maou!!

Chapter Notes

Page 9, Mizuchi Ball / ミズチ球
Apparently "mizuchi" is a mythical creature that looks like a snake with four legs, lives in the water, and exhales poisonous fumes. Dangerously close to "dragon ball" ;P

Page 19, Maou / 魔王
Literally demon/evil king, I've left this as "Maou" for now until we know more about what it means. Not least because "king of all evil" sounds ridiculous, and youkai aren't strictly demons.
