03
N- Huge…
N- It can’t move… its face is buried in the rock
M- Look Natsume
M- There’s an awakening circle drawn here, with it at the centre
N- …pots?
M- The blood she collected is probably in there

04
M- But for an awakening
M- The blood in those pots isn’t enough
U- Haha
U- I purposely sought out ayakashi that power hungry Matoba seemed to like
U- I was really showy about taking their blood so the rumours would reach him…
U- I thought I’d lure him out here see
U- When he arrived
U- I would have it awaken and eat him
S- …As revenge for your shiki who was eaten?
S- Ayakashi that you use in this business are…
U- Like tools?
U- It wasn’t like that for me

05
S- That’s your reasoning? Getting so many involved
U- I don’t care if you don’t understand
U- Matoba should be arriving soon
U- But I still don’t have enough blood
U- Take it

06
N- Natori-san…
U- Haha
U- I have more
M-Tsk
M- There’s no end to this

07
N- Sensei…
M- Gross
M- Hmph, I’ll take these shadow puppets out with one sweep…
N- Arrows?

08
N- From where…
N- Sensei…
N- Ugh

09
M- Natsume
Mt- Oh
Mt- How rude of me
Mt- There were ayakashi everywhere so I couldn’t tell them apart
Mt- …He covered for him so that ayakashi is that child’s underling? Amazing
Mt- I wanted to discover the location of this thing so I followed that paper masked ayakashi about
Mt- I got ayakashi to tail it to but it never seemed to arrive
Mt- So I let it move freely about for a bit and it found this place straight away
Mt- Now, to decide whether I can use it as a shiki or not I’ll need to see it move around
N- Ugh…

10
M- Boy
M- Know your place
M- Prepare yourself

11
N- Sensei
N- Sensei calm down
N- Don’t move around so much
N- You’re bleeding
N- You’ll open your wound more!
S- Natsume
S- Are you alright!?
N- Sorry, it only grazed me
N- More importantly, sensei…
N- Sensei!

12
M- …Tsk
M- You’ve escaped with your life Matoba
Mt- What?
Mt- How boring
N- Wah, sensei you’re bleeding
M- Mu…

13
M- Don’t make such a fuss over a bit of blood
M- Nn
M- nnnn…
S- Natsume, is your arm okay? You’re so reckless
N- …Sorry, but look the bleeding has already stopped
N- More importantly, sensei’s blood
N- So much has…
N- Uwah what the!? Sensei’s blood turned into snakes…
N- …You really are a youkai aren’t you
M- Idiot! It’d be terrifying if I had stuff wiggling like that inside me

14
N- A spell…?
S- Natsume
S- The blood is emptying from the pots…
S- It’s heading for…

15
S- Crap
S- He’s awakening with the cat’s blood that fell in the circle
N- Was it on purpose?

16
N- He wanted to test this ayakashi so he shot sensei on purpose…!?
N- …Ah!?
U- Oo…
U- Ooo
U- Oooh
M- Get back Natsume, this is bad
M- It’s letting off a really malicious intent
U- The one who collected blood and drew this circle for you was me
U- Now you must eat this man for me

17
U- Now, this man…
U- Ooo
N- Look out!
U- Ah

18
N- Are you okay!? Hang in there…
U- Ooo…
Mt- This is awkward isn’t it
Mt- Transferring your emotions to an ayakashi while exorcising it and running senselessly into this deed
Mt- And to cap it all off
Mt- This ayakashi can’t be used, I will retreat
N- Oi you!
S- Natsume
S- Ignore him, this place is dangerous, we have to get out
S- It’s flooded with that ayakashi’s malice
S- It would be bad if this leaked above ground
S- I’ll try sealing it
N- I’ll help
N- Two heads are better than one right?

19
N- Sensei, stay with that woman…
Na- Sensei, stay with that woman…
Na- Matoba
Na- How was it? Can you use it?
Mt- Nanase
Mt- No
Mt- It can’t form words so I wouldn’t be able to make a contract
Mt- It’s too powerful to be used in jutsu and on top of that, this malice
Na- Ah well

20
Na- Oh, it’s Natori
Na- I just teased him a bit and he came flying out, how embarrassing
Mt- It seems he’s going to seal it
Na- Seal? What a bother, his life will be endangered if he fails
Na- Shall we go? They can try restraining it but it will be a fool’s errand
Mt- That’s not true
Mt- I can’t use that ayakashi
Mt- But I’m interested in that boy and his cat

21
U- …Ooo…
N- Come on
U- Aaaargh
N- Quick
N- Come on, just a bit more

22
N- I’ll lure him into Natori-san’s seal circle…
S- Natsume

23
S- Natsume!!

24
S- Matoba…
Mt- Sleeping in the ground, the one who holds the lock has come
Mt- Devastating the rocks, he
Mt- Who is not human shall be taken

25
S- Natsume…
Mt- Unnecessary ayakashi should just be eliminated easily

26
Mt- That ayakashi and that woman
Mt- I don’t care about either so I would have been content just to leave them, but
Mt- You are interesting

27
Mt- I am the head of the Matoba clan, Matoba Seiji
Mt- We shall meet again
N- These people

28
N- Are the exorcist clan Matoba
S- Let the Natori clan
S- Take care of this woman’s case, Natsume
S- Well I do know her by face… Natsume?
N- …Sorry, Natori-san…
h/w- ha
N- Nyanko-sensei!
S- He’s fine, he’s just sleeping in order to recover
S- He’s amazing to even be able to stand after taking one of the Matoba’s arrows
N- …Yes…
N- …But
S- Natsume
S- Let’s go back to Hiiragi

29
N- I wonder if he can’t see
N- That there are ayakashi who will give everything for their friends
N- And people who have such strong bonds with their ayakashi that their hearts are crushed after losing them
N- Willing to harm people for his goals…
S- Natsume!
S- Your feelings shouldn’t be shaken by those people
S- …It’s just that those kinds of people too
N- Okay
N- That’s right
N- Those types of people exist

30
N- If
N- If the person who holds the book of friends is swayed by that kind of thinking
N- If the book of friends fell into the hands of someone who thinks like that…
N- …No
N- I’m not like him
N- I have sensei
N- And Natori-san and Hiiragi

31
Mt- Ah, in the end I forgot to ask his name
Na- Oh… If I remember correctly it was Natsume Takashi
Na- Seems he is the grandson of that Natsume Reiko
Mt- Natsume Reiko’s grandson…
Mt- …Yes
Mt- Seems I have stumbled upon something very interesting
