Original subtitles

A long time ago, people feared demons.

There was a man, who lead the tumultuous horde of demon warriors.

Many people called him the supreme commander of the demons.

In other words, they called him...

"The master of all monsters, goblins, and ghosts, Nurarihyon."

Nurarihyon no Mago

You have a gloomy face, don't you?

Huh?

I... couldn't do anything.

So... you want to become strong then, right?

Yeah, probably.

Without understanding the meaning of strength, you want to become strong...

Eh?

Poison Wings Dance in the Bamboo Thicket!

Sheesh, how despicable.

Zen-sama, so this is where you have been? If you move around too much, your body will...

Right.

Eerie shadows stir in the morning mist...

Suspicious characters, even now, close in on the Nura family like small waves.

Ah! Zen-sama has come!

Welcome! Zen-sama!

Hey, Snow Woman!

Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch, supreme commander.

Well, it's almost time for Rikuo to come home.

Yes, I definitely want to meet with the third commander.

Right.

He hasn't ascended to the command yet. Calling him that is inappropriate.

As someone who will one day shoulder the responsibility for this Nura Family royal council...

I don't think there's a problem with calling him the Third.

Indeed, this is troubling for Rikuo, too.

When I say that I hope he will quickly become a demon competent enough to succeed and take over for me...

He always turns sour...

I’m home!

What are those expensive looking sweets?

Oh? Rikuo?

You were at school again?

Huh?

Don't tell me you stole those from somewhere again?

I keep saying there’s a limit to doing evil things!

It doesn't matter if Nurarihyon's special skill is leaving a restaurant without paying!

Excuse me, young Master, that’s not the case...

These are souvenirs from Zen-sama.

Zen-san is here?

Yeah.

He's in the arrival room, right?

Are you all right, Commander?

You all have eaten my portion of the rice buns, too!

What did he come here for?

Young Master!

Ah! Yes?

Long time no see.

I am Zen.

Z... Zen-san!

Long time no see!

You don’t need to call me Zen-san, Zen is fine.

I wonder what that person came for?

What kind of relationship does he have with the young Master?

He's the head of the Zenni Group.

When they were small, he often played with the young Master.

He's just like a sworn brother to the Young Master.

Excuse me.

I have brought some tea.

Eh???

Ah!!!

It's hot, hot, hot! Hot, hot, hot!

Ah, Young Master! I'm sorry!

Fuu~.

Ah!

Hey!!! Snow Woman!

Whad'ya think you're doin' to Rikuo-sama! I won' show any mercy to you!

I'm leaving now!

Well now, young Master, who hasn't had his fill of tea yet,

what kind of mischief have you been up to today?

Ah, no...

I humbly apologize for not being able to participate in the general meeting.

Eh?

Oh, that's fine.

That's just an event for all the old demons.

What? The young Master mustn't say things like that.

After all, the young Master will become the master of all the demons.

Ah...

I, Zen, keep looking forward to the day when the young Master inherits the third commander position of the Nura Family.

Please stop! I can't inherit it.

I'm a human after all.

Stop messin' with me!

I've heard about it, Rikuo!

Eh!?

You keep fooling around; all the leaders have no idea who will take the third commander position!

Ah, you knew about that?

Of course!

I'll have you explain exactly what's going on!

Because...

It'd be weird if the commander in chief of the demons was a human, right?

So having me inherit it...

It's impossible!

Die!!! You fool!

Since when have you been such a weakling?

Ah! Someone stop him!

Zen-sama's feathers are poison, so don't touch them!

I'm not living for this kind of person!

Zen-san!

Don't get any closer!

Um! Excuse me!

Is Rikuo-kun here?

What was that, just now?

The demon Zen, who uses those sake-soaked feathers which lead to death if touched, is a poisonous bird demon.

He uses medicine and deadly poisons as the head of the Zenni Group.

Whatever the medicine, as the months and years pass by, it turns into poison,

Zen-sama has been called a picturesque bird since the time of his birth.

Ultimately, when the Zenni come of age, their feathers change into poison.

However, perhaps due to that distinctive quality,

the entire family have such terribly weak bodies

that it wouldn't be strange for them to suddenly disappear; frail, weak demons that they are.

Are you all right, Zen-sama?

Seriously, is he a complete fool? The Nura Family's successor...

Even after you overstrained yourself...

Let's pull out!

Let's leave the Nura Family!

With Zen-sama, even without the Nura Family's house, we can make it!

You called him here, right?

There's nothing I can do if you've figured it out.

What were you thinking?

You, yourself, said Zen-san isn't supposed to move around!

You're terrible!

Terrible?

If that's what you're thinking, I can't have you lead my Nura Family.

What is he saying? I'm the one who's trying to withdraw.

By the way, what's up with "my" Nura Family?

He just gathers demons together and commits evil deeds!

Rikuo-sama, that's not the case.

Eh?

Thank you, Hebidaiyu.

TL Note: Hebidaiyu = Great Snake

However, we, the Zenni Group, have a great debt to the Nura Family.

I, my dad, and my grandfather all had weak bodies.

The one who protected us and accepted us as decent demons

was none other than Nurarihyon-sama.

This is a map of the Nura Family pandemonium.

Here is the Nura Family.

Under the main family, there are various financial supporters.

Mokugyo Daruma-dono's Daruma Alliance.

Zen-sama's Zenni Group.

Since ancient times, many demons have been living here in Japan.

Demons from the sea and the mountains, as well as witches.

Most of them are beings that live in the dark and are weak.

The responsibility to protect those weak beings is another duty of the Nura Family.

But, that obligation no longer exists with a guy like that.

With the commander in chief as old as he is, the Nura Family may already be finished.

You too...

What?

Crow-Tengu! Do you really think we can catch up with the Oboro Cart?

Yes, leave it to me!

Young Master, this way is a shortcut!

I should have explained my feelings better to him!

Hebidaiyu!

So you've joined the Anti-Rikuo faction?

Zen will definitely be on Rikuo's side.

Yeah.

If you can't finish it with your hand, I'll send someone with you.

No, that won't be necessary.

For someone as frail as him, I'll be fine by myself.

Also, as someone who was once under the boss, I want to finish it with my own hands...

Rikuo-sama!

There he is!

He's in a place like that!

Please wait.

Something is not right.

Where did the loyal vassal who I exchanged sake with go?

Loyal vassal?

What're you talkin' about?

How disgraceful! You traitor!

If you really look at it, you were the one who betrayed me first!

What!?

If you had become a more dominant figure, I would have been in a better position, even as your vassal.

But you were like "For the Nura Family's sake!", "The Nura Family's sake!"!

There's not even a shred of ambition in you.

I've become completely disillusioned with you.

Anyhow, once you've finished this, you'll be discarded.

Heh, that may be true.

I'll worry about that if the time comes.

But you know, right now there's nothing to do but this.

Really? But there's still something I have to do!

That stupid boy from the Nura Family?

Heh, you're still saying that.

There's no way I can let myself be killed by you in a place like this!

The weakest possible bird pretentiously splashing around should just DIE!

Crow-Tengu!

Zen-san! Hang in there!

Why are you...?

I wanted to apologize to you no matter what!

I wanted you to understand, so I chased after you!

Where are your companions?

I can't protect you alone-

What is he?

An executive of the Zenni Group, Hebidaiyu.

This is perfect!

I'll create a new Hebidaiyu Group as the chief with the prestige I gain from killing Nurarihyon's grandson!

Hebidaiyu!

I can't forgive you.

M-Move out of the way, Rikuo! What can you accomplish?!

Rikuo!

Stay still.

What?

You're...

If you had even one-thousandth the righteousness of Zen...

...I would have, at least, spared your life.

You... Who are you?

Rikuo-sama...

Rikuo!?

Yo, Zen.

I see.

You are one forth demon after all.

What a disgrace. I'm a full-fledged demon, and I ended up being the burden.

Hey, Rikuo?

Who you are right now can succeed as the third commander, can't you?

Won't you show me that proud moment...

While I'm still alive?

Will you drink?

That sounds good. Can you keep up with me?

Hebidaiyu was a pitiful fellow.

Being just an underling to a guy like me must have been terribly difficult.

Give me your Sake cup.

I want to properly become your sworn brother.

If I'm going to die anyways, then it shall be by your hands.

Not from my father's pedestal, but from you.

Are you serious?

Hmph. I want to bet my remaining life on your great capability.

That's fine.

A Zen is a weak demon, but I'll protect you.

In any case, you have a reason you can't die, right?

You heard that?

How rude...

Crow.

I'm here.

How many more times will I have to exchange sake...

In order to be acknowledged by the other demons?

I will succeed to the third commander.

Understood!

Such a waste...

When it becomes morning, he will return to his previous form... It's too wasteful...

I'm going!

Hurry!

Yes!

Please take this! Rikuo forgot his lunch!

I understand.

Oh?

The other two are for Aotabou and Snow Woman.

I mean, Kurata-kun and Tsurara-chan's lunches.

Yes!!

I'm going!

I feel a little shaky.

Did something happen last night?

Good morning Kana-chan!

Good morning! Today we're both early, aren't we?

This is great!

Being with Kana-chan makes me feel like I'm living like a human.

Hey, you guys!

This is the first time we've met up since that time...

Kiyotsugu-kun!

You guys certainly saw it, didn't you?

Eh?

W-What?

They definitely should have been there.

In the abandoned school building, demons were there!

Right? You saw them right, you saw them? Demons!

I-It hurts!

Those demons or whatever, you wanted to see them?

Eh? You are?

I'm Oikawa Tsurara.

You're Kiyotsugu-kun and Shima-kun from the class next door, right?

Oikawa Tsurara-chan!

Did you get scared, run away and not see any?

Of course not!

I was there until the end, but unfortunately I didn't see any...

Ah, really, there weren't any demons.

Ah, really, there weren't any! Hahaha!

Snow Woman.

Oh? Young Master!

If you move about on your own without us from now on, it'll trouble us!

Also, this is a lunch that was made for you.

Eh? Come over here!

What are you doing?

Please don't cling to me!

From now on, I'll always be by your side.

I want to lead a peaceful life at school!

Right! At school I will protect the secret of the young Master's body.

W- What do you mean by the secret of my body?

Secret of my body?

*Stare*

Ah, I get it.

I get it, so please at least stop calling me young Master.

Well then, please call me Tsurara-chan, too!

Tsu- Tsurara-chan!?

Yes?

Where have I seen that girl?

She was delivering a lunch box, but...

Rikuo has a lot of things I don't know about, doesn't he...?

I'm from Kyoto.

I'm Keikaiin Yura.

I'm pleased to meet ya'll.

Rikuo, who changed forms, has no memory of the night before.

Perhaps he has emerged from his seal.

And what about this girl's true identity?

Muitai kaze fuku, isshun saki yosou mo dekinai

Did you know?

Night Rikuo-sama's hair grows sideways!

Eh? What, what?

Actually, his head is simply slightly longer on the side, is what I've heard.

That's kind of creepy!

Next time, Nurarihyon no Mago: Keikaiin Yura and the Pure Cross Mystery Detective Corps.
