Hitomi no Catoblepas 9

It's that time again. Here's a nonexclusive translation, as always, Enjoy.

01
-This is the school I attend,
-Kiriboshi High (full name is K city Kiriboshi high school...)

-Today, everyone can't stop talking about the monstrous bird that appeared a few days ago at the shopping district

-Hey, Miiko! Don't ya live near th' street where that monster came out?
-Did'ja see it? Th' monster bird that attacked people!

-Huh!?
-I knew that bird
-It was the youma called "Itsumade"

left: With the tough battle against the youma "Itsumade" brought to a close, peace returns to K city. However, the next battle is just around the corner...

02
-oh, hey, tell me about that guy!
-Y'know, the guy they say had fire comin' outta his hair who beat the monster!
-I knew that man

-"Hosomi Kazuto"
-The freak who can control fire! (t/n - yeah, she's trying to throw the same insult at him)

-And only I knew all about it!
-About the fight that's going on behind the scenes in this city,
-About the guardian families, the secret behind the "abandoned temple" next door
-And about Shimura Tokio!!

-I want to talk!
-I want to tell everyone all about it!
-But--

-Sorry to disappoint ya, Mari...but I was out that day
-I saw it on TV too!
-Aw, man!
-I was so sure that you would've known all 'bout it!

-I still can't believe that th' monster had a human face!
-Hey, cut it out!! I'm tellin' ya, there's no way that's true!

03
-Listen closely, Miss Miiko
-Please speak to no one of what you've seen and heard today

-Why?
-It would bring needless panic to the citizens of K city
-We wish to prevent that

-Ehhh...not even my friends at school?
-You must not!!

-If you were to actually do that,
-then, even if it is you, miss Miiko...
-Eek!!

-I can't tell anyone!! 'cuz if i do,
-Just kidding...I trust you, Miss Miiko...hohoho
-Hakutaku's gonna kill me!

--come ta think of it, that Kuramochi grandma said something about the "Shikyou"...I wonder what that's all about...?
-I wonder if they're gonna show up soon
-and if Shimura and the rest of them'll be all right...

04
#9 - The Shikyou's arrival

ｋ都を蹂躙せんとする (not sure of this phrase)
right: Four Youma look down upon the city...it's obviously the Shikyou!! They've come to destroy K city!!
lower left - author, tanaka yasuki

05
-We'll split into two teams
names, right to left: TOUTETSU, KONTON

-Me and Kyuuki will take the Kuramochi family
-Konton and Toukotsu will head to the Hosomi house
names - right to left - Toukotsu, Kyuuki

06
-If we destroy the two most powerful families first,
-It will mean the certain destruction of all four guardian dieties!
-Master Kaimei has placed his hopes in us.
心してかかれ！ (not sure of this either, lit. handle this carefully?)
-Don't let him down!

The Kuramochi family's main residence

07
I, Kuramochi Michiru,
Bid thee to come forth, my servant...

...nnnn~

O, Shakaraou!!

OOOO!!

08
-zzzzz

...I can't do it...
-No matter how many times I try, it's all the same
-Why won't he come out as big and strong as when grandmother summoned him?

-B-but you have to admit he's extremely cute, ojou-sama (ojou-sama is a respectful way to refer to an upper class family's daughter)
-T-that's right, it's very fitting of you, ojou-sama
-No matter how cute he is, he can't fight like this!
-And he's asleep!!

09
-Shakaraou is the type of Youma that matches the strength of its master and grows along with it
-That form of Shakarou
-is a manifestation of the amount of power you possess, ojou-sama

-Then...that makes me a failure as family head!
-There's no need to rush!
-It was the same for Master Tamaki when she first started...don't worry, you will progress with time

-Now that you mention it, where is grandmother?
-She left first thing this morning and hasn't---
-Hm!

-Warning!! (lit. "alarm"!)
-Two Youma are approaching at high speed from the north-northwest!

-What did you say?!

10
-Wait just a moment! We're estimating their strength...
-It's...huge!!

-Something strong is headed this way! It must be what grandmother spoke of...
-The "Shikyou"!!

-The two of them are of a Framea rank!! (t/n - see my earlier ch's translations for more details. basically they name the ranks of the length of weapons. previously named were a dagger and a sword, now a lance. This one is the same as a hasta, or a spear characteristic of nomadic tribes. Man, brings back so many memories from my Vagrant Story days... why didn't they make a sequel!! ops, back on topic...)

11
-They're upper rank Youma!! (or high level)

-...I-i'm in a fix here!

12
-I think i'm lost!
-Where's arakawa road, 4th district?
-I swear, this is the third time I've passed by here!

-Nanao, you bastard! You're still lost?! You've got no sense of direction!!
そばが伸びちまうだろうが！いっぺん死ね！ (translators please check this)
-Haven't you made ANY progress?! Turn around, you retard!

-Sorry, Sir
-Don't keep Mr. Kusano waiting any longer! Where are you right now?!

13
-What the heck...
-Looks like I was off

-You're not Hosomi Kazuto
-This device reacted, so I came to check it out

-Judging from the size of this flame, your rank is "Seax" (I thank vagrant story for knowing these names, lol)
-Boy...are you a fighter for the Hosomi family?

14
-Hey, are you listening? Nanao!!
-Sorry sir, I gotta go
-Huh?! What are yo-- sfx CLICK

-Well, whatever...I see you're a member of the Hosomi family
-My name is Toukotsu
-I'll play with you, so come at me whenever you're ready...

-What the hell!
-As soon as he gets back, I'm gonna lecture him for EIGHT hours!!

15
-They're here!!
-Look up!!

16
-What a tiny flame...this is barely even a Couse... (sorry i can't find a good link :/)
-Hah? Just trash! Is the new family head keeping the lowest rank Youma possible?!

-There's no mistake! I've seen them in the old texts...
-They're the Shikyou's "toutetsu" and "kyuuki"
-Wha---
-What should I do?
-With Shakarou like this, I can't fight them!
-What should I do, grandmother...!!

-OJOU-SAMA!
-Please stand back!

17
-YOUKEN!! 陽拳　(that kanji means sun or yang (as in yin-yang) and the other one is fist. I don't really have an english name for this...)

-Oh? You can't even handle close combat?
-Hey Toutetsu! It's not even going to take a minute to crush the Kuramochi family!

-Why you...!
-Fast...!!

-DIE!!

18
-...no, Kyuuki...it doesn't seem it will be that simple...
-The flame exploded all of a sudden!
-So he did come, after all...

-Forgive me, Ms. Michiru
-Ow...
-I was a little late because I had to set the VCR to record my anime

-WHO!!?

-Ah...!
-You came!

19
-Tokio!!

white: 邪知奸佞、その瞳に通じず！守護家ＶＳ四凶、全面対決！！
Those eyes have seen through their evil tricks! The confrontation of the guardian families and the Shikyou!!

-end-

Ah, so tired. Please let me know if anything's missing or incorrect. Thank you.
Also, I am too worn out to try to look up the names of the Shikyou...does anyone know their origin? Might be able to make sense of that technique used earlier.
