Nurarihyon no Mago 142

In looking up information on Nomura Mansai, a guy mentioned in this chapter, I realized I'd attended his high school during an exchange programme! How cool is that 8D

02
b1: An ordinary village just like this one that could've come from any old legend
b2: How cliched
b3: Well then...
b4: I wonder how I should go about this...
b5: You've gotta be kidding me...

03
b1: Woooow!! Amaaaazing!!
b2: So this is <dhdshgkdh Village>? It really did exist, just like that!!

b2a: Oi
b2b: Don't pull at it
b3: Awesome!! You really are one!
b4: Oi!!
b5: Do it! Do it! Fly like Nomura Mansai! (TN: Nomura Mansai [野村萬斎] is a well known Kyogen stage actor, and minor film actor. He starred in a movie called "Onmyouji" in 2001)
b6: Tch... Damn you all... You guys are at the same level as Yura's "whatever Squad"...
b7: To think my classmates are at the level of middle school kids...
b8: Dammit!! My plans are ruined
b9: Hm? What's wrong?
b10: Hm?
b11: Eh, Nii-chan...?
b12: Did he go somewhere...?

05
b1: I have brought your meals
b2: Eeeeeek!
b3: My, my...... Are you alone? Where shall I place this?
b4: Ah, yes. Over there's fine

b7: How was your bath?
b8: Ah, yes. It felt good!
b9: Hmm?
b10: What's that... It's noisy outside...
b11: There's a <village festival> going on today

06
b1: Ehhhh!? A festival!?
b2: Yes.... That's right
b3: It is the "Housaku Festival" (TN: Housaku [豊作] means bumper crop)
b4: In this village, whenever we have a bountiful harvest, we hold a festival
b5: Yes... As a celebration
b6: Ohhhh, how interesting!
b7: Yes, yes
b8: But it didn't really feel like a festival was going to be happening just now... When Nii-cha- Umm, Sensei returns, I'd like to go see

b12: But among them, there are also those that are born as manifestation of <ghost stories>

13
b1: There are times where make-believe
b2: Breeds "fear"
b3: People spread rumors... And as a result of this village being described in such a way
b4: The <urban legend> gains speed... And manifests itself
