Ao: Who knows... Whatever it is, she's running
Rikuo: Hmmm...?

Yuki Onna: The decorations dropped again
box: I've become so busy that I can't even participate in the Kiyo Cross Squad's activities at the Middle School
Yuki Onna: Yo
On sign: Antiques
Guy: Oh, little lady, you're pretty good
Yuki Onna: Thaaanks

box: Both this and that
box: Are because Rikuo-sama succeeded the position of the Third...

05
box: Aotabou and Kurotabou, both of whom had been amongst Rikuo's bodyguards, entered the upper echelons of the clan!
box: At the same time, some members of the existing upper echelon retired
box: As Rikuo-sama's arrangements gradually took shape, somehow...
box: I, too...
Yuki Onna: (Have become a member of the upper echelons of the clan, as the head bodyguard of the Third!)
box: Thus, in order to reinforce our stronghold, we have no choice but to gather new fears as well. Just like Gyuuki-sama and Zen-sama --- I, too, will have my own clan
box: Ao, Kubi and Kuro are all doing their best! I've got to do likewise!
box: But I... Have never so much as dreamed of having my own Hyakki
Yuki Onna: Alright! I hope this time goes smoothly!
box: Yet I have been entrusted this Nishikigoi District (TN: Nishikigoi 錦鯉 means "colored carp")
box: It was apparently under the jurisdiction of my mother, Setsura, back in the day
Yuki Onna: Excuse me!
Yuki Onna: Is there anything I could help out with?

07
People: They're surrounding the girl
People: Uwa, how scary...
Guy: Listen up
Guy: We'll leave you alone since this was decided by the higher ups, but---
Guy: We've been doing business in this neighbourhood for 300 years!!
Guy: Yeah, yeah, so you figurehead of a leader can just shut up and watch!!
Yuki Onna: Eek...
box: These people are of the Arawashi family under the Nura Clan (TN: Arawashi 荒鷲 meaning "crude eagle" - how fitting)
box: One of the financial backers of the Nura Clan
box: With a long history to their name, they are youkai who are stall-keepers, and also yakuza!

08
box: Nishikigoi District is some distance from Ukiyoe Town, but is also part of Nura Clan territory
Yuki Onna: B, but even in the main house, I'm entrusted with the task of cooking...
box: I can't falter here... We have to strengthen this area as well, for the sake of the upcoming battle!
Guy: Hmm
Guy: You're Setsura-san's daughter, huh...
Guy: That person sure was sexy
Yuki Onna: What!?
Guy: Bringing us a kid like this now... Just what is the new Commander thinking? Things were great during Rihan-sama's time, weren't they~~
Yuki Onna: (Th... They're even badmouthing Rikuo-sama...)

09
Guy: Hmm---- This is pretty great
Guy: Isn't it? This is a rather rare item, you know
Guy: Hmm, alright...
Guy: But 250,000, huh...
Guy: So expensive--
Guy: Haha, that's because it's genuine
Guy: One Yakisoba
Guy: Coming right up
Yuki Onna: Oooh~~
Yuki Onna: Forget Rikuo-sama, I can't let anyone see me like this...
Yuki Onna: (Way too pathetic)
Gozu/Mezu: Kakaka... What an idiot you are, Yukinko (TN: Yukinko 雪ん子 means "snow child" and is a kind of spirit)

10
Gozu: How pathetic
Yuki Onna: !!
Mezu: Yooohooo~ Oooiii, Tsuraraaa
Yuki Onna: You... You guys!! Aren't you supposed to be guarding the main house!! (text next to bubble: What are you doing outside!)
Gozu: Idiot, we were relieved of that job long ago!
Gozu: Things have gotten real busy now that Gyuuki-sama has become a financier
Gozu: We can't be wasting time playing around at the main house
Gozu: That's how it is
Gozu: Ah-- We're so busy
Yuki Onna: Then don't play around here!!
Yuki Onna: (Kuhh... I got seen... How embarrassing~~!!)
Kiyotsugu: Just look!! At that old-fashioned, run-down temple!!
Yuki Onna: !!
Yuki Onna: (Th... This laughter that resonates through one's head...)

11
Kiyotsugu: At this mold-covered worldview!!
Kiyotsugu: But that is what it means to love old things!! That is what it means to be in Nishikigoi Market!!
Yuki Onna: (Wh... Why are these people here---!?)
Shima: Eh? Oikawa-san!?
Yuki Onna: Eh
Yuki Onna: Eh? Ehh~~~
Maki: Ah, he's right. It really is Tsurara-chan. What's with those clothes? Part-time job?
Kana: (Rikuo-kun's not here?)
Kiyotsugu: Who'd have thought that you'd be here too
Yuki Onna: (I've been seen by these people too---)
Kiyotsugu: Still as serious as ever, aren't you
Yuki Onna: Eh?
Kiyotsugu: Garakuta Market is the ideal place to study tsukumogami!! (TN: Tsukumogami つくも神 or 付喪神, a type of Japanese spirit. Tsukumogami originate from items or artifacts that have reached their 100th birthday and thus become alive and aware. If it wasn't already obvious, Garakuta Market is an antiques market, hence why Kiyotsugu believes they will find tsukumogami here)
Maki: Tsukumogami?
Kiyotsugu: You guys are always like that, the questioning type!! But good question!!

12
Kiyotsugu: (Ever since the olden days, people have believed that "in old items reside souls")
Kiyotsugu: (Just as the Nekomata becomes a youkai when it turns a hundred years old, so too will objects after a hundred years) (TN: Nekomata 猫又, a two-tailed cat spirit)
Kiyotsugu: (Many artists have depicted them as hyakki yakou)
Maki: Whaaaaaaat
Kiyotsugu: That is the basis of a hyakki yakou! The basis!!
Yuki Onna: .....
Yuki Onna: Hmm... A hyakki yakou, eh...
Gozu: That's gonna be eternally impossible for you
Yuki Onna: Hey... Gozumaruuu!!
Kana: Umm... For some reason, I suddenly felt a gust of cold wind...
Kiyotsugu: What!? That is the "fear" of a youkai!!
Kiyotsugu: So they are here!! Just as I expected, tsukumogami!!
Kiyotsugu: Right here in Garakuta Market!!
Kiyotsugu: We'll sniff them out--!!
Natsumi: Yes, yes......
Maki: Come on, Tsurara-chan, let's go---
Yuki Onna: O... Okay...
Yuki Onna: Hm?

13
Yuki Onna: (What... Is that...?)
Yuki Onna: ....
Guy: Like it, don't you, little lady...
Guy: This here's a container for shaved ice
Yuki Onna: Sh...
Yuki Onna: Shaved ice!? This!?
Guy: This is a "Kooribachi" that has been used since the Taishou Era and into the early Shouwa Era (TN: Kooribachi 氷鉢 literally means "ice bowl/pot/baisin". The Taishou Era 大正時代 lasted between 1912-1926, and the Shouwa Era 昭和時代 between 1926-1989.)
Yuki Onna: Wow...
Yuki Onna: (Pretty...)
Guy: Back then, they didn't have discardable styrofoam. But a little lady like you wouldn't know that

14
Guy: It was a pretty everyday item for use with shaved ice at temple festivals and at the then-popular coffee shops
Guy: At that time, glassware was at the peak of its popularity... Well, but right now, this sort of design is rare
Guy: I try to be cool by calling those from that period "Taishou Romantic Glass"
Yuki Onna: Oji-san!!
Yuki Onna: Please
Yuki Onna: May I have one!!

15
Yuki Onna: Done
Yuki Onna: Somehow, I feel better
Yuki Onna: That's right!! I just got here, so it can't be helped!
Yuki Onna: But for them to be like that... It's them who are being horrid!
Yuki Onna: Even so, this is great (music note)
Tsukumogami: Freezin'
Tsukumogami: Uwaa~ It's been a while since I felt this way~
Yuki Onna: ....
Tsukumogami: Pufaaa
Ysukumogami: !?
Yuki Onna: What?
Yuki Onna: What!?

16
Tsukumogami: To be able to make shaved ice on your own
Tsukumogami: Could you be... Yuki Onna!?
Tsukumogami: Uwaa!! I'm so happy! This is my first time seeing one!!
Tsukumogami: Please shake my hand!
Tsukumogami: I'm the Tsukumogami of the Taishou Romantic Glass, "Oryou"! (TN: Oryou お涼, "ryou" means "cool", "refreshing")
Yuki Onna: Tsu... Tsukumogami...?
Tsukumogami: Yes
Tsukumogami: It's been more than a hundred years since it was made, so I've become a youkai
Tsukumogami: Pleased to meet you, master
Yuki Onna: Huh... Eh?

17
Yuki Onna: MASTER!?
Tsukumogami: That's right. Since it's a container for ice, of course a Yuki Onna can use it
next to Yuki Onna's head: So that's how it is?
Tsukumogami: It's amazing that we managed to meet this quickly!
Yuki Onna: Oji-san
Yuki Onna: These containers... Please give me all of them!!
Kiyotsugu: It's no good-- We can't find any--
Kana: Even if there were any, Kiyotsugu-kun probably wouldn't notice...
Shima: Eh~ Oikawa-san, where-

18
Tsukumogami: Yuki Onna-sama
Tsukumogami: Thank you
Yuki Onna: I... I am the Yuki Onna, Tsurara
Tsukumogami: Tsurara-nee-san!! Tsurara-nee-san!!
Tsukumogami: We'll follow you for life!!
Tsukumogami: No matter what happens!!
Tsukumogami: shari shari
Yuki Onna: ...
Yuki Onna: (Rikuo-sama)
Yuki Onna: (Please look at this)
Tsukumogami: shari shari (TN: x2)
Yuki Onna: (I... Did it)

19
Yuki Onna: (This is the birth...)
Yuki Onna: (Of the Hyakki Yakou... Tsurara Clan!!)
brushwritten text: Various kinds of happiness~
Tsukumogami: Tsurara-nee-san!!
Tsukumogami: Tsurara-nee-san!!
Tsukumogami: Hurry up and eat it
Guy: What's she up to? That girl. She's collected a whole lot of junk
Guy: Leave the kid be~
Guy: (So this is Garakuta Market~~~~~)
Aori: ☆ What is this suspicious shadow...!?
