My request... I'll definitely make him grant it...!) ???: "Greetings! I have come to petition the Prince who rules this country. Is there anyone I can speak to!?" Anna: "Ah, who are you...? Do you know the Prince by any chance?" Saizou: "Hold, Anna-dono. I know that one. She's the daughter of the former Youkai Supreme Commander Nurarihyon... Her name is Shino." Bashira: "Eehh!? Nurarihyon had a daughter!? ... Sh, she doesn't look the least bit like him." Shino: "I'm the daughter who carries the blood of Nurarihyon, Shino. On this occasion, I have come before the Prince to carry out my father Nurarihyon's dying wish." Saizou: "The ones who delivered the death blow to Nurarihyon as a result of the oni's scheme was us. Do you intend to seek revenge...?" Shino: "... You picked up on things quickly. I shall test whether or not your power that slayed father is genuine... Prepare yourselves!!" Katie: "Prince, Nurarihyon's daughter has started to come this way! According to the soldiers' report, there appear to be few youkai accompanying her as well. Please make sure not to be careless!" (end) Shino: "—I yield..." Anna: "Thank goodness... We somehow got her to put away her katana." Saizou: "Anna-dono, I think it's still early to be careless. You should be cautious even if the opponent has sheathed their weapon." Shino: "Please rest assured. I no longer bear any hostility towards you." Shino: "In fact, desiring to join hands, I have a favour to ask of the one who slayed father. I merely wanted to measure the extent of your power." Saizou: "Prince, you can't trust her so easily. They may be few, but she's still backed by youkai." Shino: "In that case, I shall have the youkai withdraw. And I shall present this to you as well." Anna: "This is Nurarihyon's katana... I have received Shino-san's resolve. Prince, let's listen to what she has to say first." ■■■■■Shino Introduction "Well met, my name is Shino. I'm the daughter of the Supreme Commander of the Youkai, Nurarihyon." "How familiar are you with the state of the oriental countries?" "Now that my father has passed away, the youkai that exist in the oriental countries have lost the Supreme Commander of the Youkai, and are lacking his control." "The youkai are originally mononoke who subsist on the fear of humans, committing mischief in the territory chosen by the Supreme Commander of the Youkai." "There is no reason for us youkai to exist if there aren't any humans. The one who became the Supreme Commander was leading us to make sure we didn't recklessly kill humans." "However, the moment they became aware that my father was dead, many youkai have begun to fight over territory. They have started to heap atrocities upon the humans and threaten them as they please." "The boss of the oni is the reason they have gone wild with their own desires. Those that have started to ally with Shuten Douji, who is my adversary, have also appeared." "With this, the youkai have been reduced to the same level as the monsters." "That is where my favour to the Prince comes in. Now that the seat of Supreme Commander of the Youkai has become vacant, would you be so kind as to help me fill it?" "I am the daughter of Nurarihyon, who was the former Supreme Commander of the Youkai." "So, I arrived at the conclusion that I must shoulder the duty of bringing order to the youkai that have lost control onto myself." "Besides, you're also having a difficult time dealing with the youkai, Prince. Once I become Supreme Commander of the Youkai, I can manage some of the youkai, and make sure they won't lay their hands on humans." "You will help? ... Thank you." "Now then, we shall head to each youkai's territory at once, and make them sign a 'compact sealed with blood' acknowledging me as Supreme Commander of the Youkai." "I shall lead the way and negotiate with the youkai." "Prince, I just have one favour to ask of you." "I want you to inflict pain on the young and vigorous youkai to settle them down so we can talk." "Yes... If it's your power, I believe everything will go smoothly. Well then, shall we go?" ■■■■■Kappa and Blood Compact (30/2) (河童と血判状): Anna: "How should we go about making the youkai into your subordinates?" Shino: "Youkai live off the fear of others. If they run into an opponent that inspires fear in them, they'll instinctively gather to that person's side." Katie: "In other words, we have to inspire fear in them..." Shino: "There's no need to overthink it. Hurt them to the point they're unable to move, so I can have them write their name in this 'blood compact'." Shino: "The 'blood compact' is a record of the written oaths from the youkai that will become my subordinates." Kappa: "—Hyahhaahh! Humans in this sort of place!? Kekkekke, how shall we make them suffer~? I can't wait to have my way with them~!!" Shino: "Quickly, it appears the kappa are rampaging in the village. Prince, let's go make them write in the 'blood compact'." (end) Kappa: "Hi, HIEe~hh... Oh, forgive us. We'll write anything in your 'blood compact', just-just please spare our liiiives." Shino: "If you would've done such from the beginning, you wouldn't have gotten hurt. You kappa, return to the territory set for you by father!" Kappa: "U, understood! We'll obey the orders of Shino-sama, who is the next Youkai Supreme Commandeeer!" Anna: "They really did become docile after writing in the 'blood compact'. ... It looks like they have no choice but to listen to what you say." Shino: "A strong arm is necessary to become Supreme Commander of the Youkai, but the art of elocution is also needed. We need to convince them to sign the contract." Bashira: "Elocution... you mean negotiate with them, right? Nurarihyon needs to perform all sorts of honest activities to become great, huh?" Shino: "Yes. From my perspective, he was a respectable father. I also want to become a splendid youkai like father." Shino: "Well then, Prince, let's head to the next youkai's place." ■■■■■Return of the Kappa (40/4) (再来する河童): Kappa: "Making weaklings suffer is so much friggin' fun! Ora! Human scum! Fear meee!" Anna: "Prince! The port town is being attacked by kappa!" Hien: "Kappa again? The people of the port town will be in danger if we leave them be." Shino: "Prince, let's hurry. Please follow the same points as last time." Kappa: "H, Hieee... I'm sorry, Shino-samaaa... W, we'll obey you, just spare our liiives..." Hien: "Shino-dono, that is enough; I feel pity for them..." Shino: "Excuse me. I went a little too hard. However, I must make them sign before they collapse completely." Kappa: "Hii..." Shino: "Now then, it was possible to obtain a 'blood compact' with them. With this, the kappa here should also settle down. Well then, Prince, let's proceed to the next location." Hien: "However, to make such fierce youkai as kappa so docile... What in the world is she saying to them...?" ■■■■■Supreme Commander's Trial (50/7) (総大将の試練): Fuujin: "Gehahahahaha! That's right! Terrify the humans more! I don't care even if you kill 'em!" Fuujin: "—Hm? What, who are you? I feel as if I saw you somewhere before...?" Shino: "... So it was you, Fuujin-sama. It's been a while. Do you remember? It's me. Nurarihyon's daughter, Shino." Fuujin: "Shino...? Ohh, OoUu!? Shino, huh!? It's been a long time! Well... It's a shame... what happened to your father..." Shino: "I don't have time to indulge in sorrow now. Because I have resolved to become the Supreme Commander of Youkai for the sake of the youkai's future." Fuujin: "Hoh... You the Supreme Commander of Youkai, eh...? But it looks like all you've brought are a bunch of humans..." Shino: "I still am not equal to the position of Youkai Supreme Commander, but I was able to talk with the humans. I will not have the means to my goal questioned." Fuujin: "Gehahahahahaha! I'm glad to hear that! I see you plan to make me write in the 'blood compact', huh? As expected of Nurarihyon's daughter, blood will tell." Fuujin: "Show me what your resolve amounts to here!" (end) Fuujin: "... Gehaah!! Shino, I'll acknowledge you. Accept my 'blood compact'." Fuujin: "Hey, you also write a 'blood compact' and hand it to Shino." Shino: "Fuujin-sama... Even the Kamaitachi...!? Thank you very much." Fuujin: "Gehahahahaha! I'm in a good mood today! I'm going to drink some sake! Shino! Work hard so as to not disappoint your father." Shino: "I will. That goes for you too, Fuujin-sama, and the rest of you as well." Anna: "Shino-san, with this, we gathered a bunch of 'blood compacts'." Shino: "Yes. By gaining the 'blood compact' of the famous mononoke, Fuujin-sama, I was able to take another step closer to the seat of Youkai Supreme Commander." Shino: "However, I can't lose my concentration yet. Prince, after a short rest, let's head to the next area." ■■■■■Mononoke of Wind and Lightning (80/9) (風と雷の物の怪): Bashira: "... So, Nurarihyon mistook me for a youkai, and came to scout me, which led to all sorts of trouble. Don't you think it was very rude of him?" Shino: "Something like that happened between father and Bashira-san... Fufu... It seems even father, who was Youkai Supreme Commander, made some mistakes." Fuujin: "—Oh, Shino, so you were in that sort of place? Oi, Raijin! Come 'ere, come 'ere! Look over yonder, that's Nurarihyon's daughter." Shino: "Fuujin-sama... and Raijin-sama!? Why are you in this sort of place?" Fuujin: "What's so surprising about it? Don't you want it? The 'blood compact' of a famous mononoke!" Shino: "For me, Fuujin-sama...? Aah, I'm so delighted." Shino: "Prince, this has become a heaven-sent opportunity to gain approval from both Fuujin-sama and Raijin-sama. Quickly, please prepare for battle." Bashira: "......... Ehh? We're fighting Fuujin again...?" (end) Fuujin: "Gehahahahaha! To make both Raijin and I retreat, I could expect no less!" Fuujin: "Here, Shino, the thing that was promised! The 'blood compact' of the youkai lurking in this region. Please accept it by all means." Shino: "Thank you very much, Fuujin-sama, Raijin-sama! I truly can't thank you enough..." Fuujin: "The way is steep, but if it's you, I believe you're fit to be Youkai Supreme Commander. Well then, good health to you, Shino. Gehahahahah!" Bashira: "... They're gone. However, I'm really glad you were able to gain both of their approval!" Shino: "Yes! I must do my best in order to respond to the expectations of many youkai..." Shino: "Let's go, Bashira-san! For the future of us youkai!" Bashira: "Hauu... I just told you I wasn't a youkai. Getting friendly with me all of a sudden, Shino-san really is Nurarihyon's daughteeer..." ■■■■■Monkey Sage's Killing Time (40/5) (仙猿の暇つぶし): Iroha: "What sort of youkai are you going to make a blood compact with next?" Shino: "Tengu. They excel in youjitsu, and can fly in the sky. If I make them my servants, they'll be formidable helpers." Saizou: "A flying mononoke, eh? In that case, I shall bring them to their knees with my shuriken. I won't let a single one lay a finger on the Prince." Iroha: "When the time comes, I shall become the Prince's shield. I won't fall behind Saizou-dono!" Shino:"Fufu... such brave warriors. Prince truly is respected by his subordinates. I would be happy to have servants like them—" Soldier: "Report! Youkai confirmed up ahead!" Saizou: "It seems they've appeared early. However, the dark of night is perfectly suitable for a ninja... It won't be possible for them to catch sight of me." (Faa appears) Faa: "Ah—!? What're you doing!? You beat up all of the youkai!?" Shino: "... Hm? What? Who are you? A monkey youkai...?" Faa: "They were good sparring partners~! Damnit, I'm gonna get bored—! ... Since it's come to this, I'll be your opponent!" Shino: "Quick to bare fangs... I shall have you also write in the blood compact!" (end) Faa: "Owowow... Geez, I can't believe you're so strong. But fighting with you guys was very fun! Well then, I'll be heading back—Mmph!?" Shino: "You lost the fight, yet you're talking about going somewhere? I won't let you escape until you write in this blood compact, you know?" Faa: "Hm? Buraddo Compacto? I don't really get it, but since I lost the fight, I won't break my promise. There you go." Shino: "Your name is 'Faa'. ... Your blood compact. I, Shino, the daughter of Nurarihyon, accept." Shino: "Well then, Faa. From now on, please work with me." Faa: "Hm? I had enough for today. I'm hungry, so I'm going to eat some food! See ya!" Shino: "Ah, please wait! ... She's gone. What should I do? I had her write in the blood compact, yet she won't obey my command..." Anna: "Ah, umm, Shino-san... Faa-san is a 'monkey sage' whose seal was broken by Nurarihyon. She's not a youkai." Shino: "S, so that's how it is...! I'm terribly sorry. I was sure she was a youkai... ... I am ashamed." Bashira: "Shino-san is Nurarihyon's daughter after all... In any case, we received the tengu's blood compact, so cheer up. Let's head to the next area!" ■■■■■Poison Miasma Battle (70/8) (毒の瘴気の戦い): Shino: "There should be a youkai that manipulates poison called 'Ushioni' around this area. Even my father had a difficult time handling them; they're quite fierce. Let's hope for the best..." Iroha: "If you can make such strong youkai into your servants, then you'll be one step closer to Supreme Commander of Youkai!" Shino: "Yes...!" Shino: "—Oya? Perfect, youkai have shown themselves. Prince, please be careful around their poison." (heavenly king appears) Heavenly King of Heavy Water: "Kukkukku... Found you, Nurarihyon's daughter, Shino. I thought my servant youkai were decreasing in number... Your offensiveness to the eyes must've been passed on from your father." Shino: "You... What are you!?" Heavenly King: "As the Heavenly King of Heavy Water, I am Shuten Douji-sama's loyal servant... Kukkukku." Heavenly King: "Well, there's no meaning in introducing myself..." Heavenly King: "Because here you'll follow the same fate as your father, who died pathetically, plotted by us oni... Kukkukku." Shino: "Pathetically... You say? I see, you're the ones who...!! Unforgivable... You oni are beyond redemption!" Heavenly King: "A mind and body heated by the flames of hatred... Aahh... Shino, you have some nice eyes." Bashira: "Shino-san! Don't let the oni provoke you! Please leave this to us, make sure you receive a blood compact from the youkai!" Shino: "Is that... so... I merely inherited father's will... Revenge has no meaning..." (end) Heavenly King: "—Gahaah!? Im... impossible...!! For I to be defeated by mere humans...! Gu, uugh..." Soldier: "The Heavenly King of Heavy Water has begun to escape! Shall we pursue...?" Katie: "No, it's meaningless to rush out in pursuit! We can grasp the enemy's escape route later. Straightening out our forces is the first order of business." Anna: "You're right. Oh... Huh...? Shino-san? It seems Shino-san is not here..." Shino's Servant Kappa: "Shino-sama has gone ahead alone..." Shino's Servant Kappa: "She said she was going to take Shuten Douji's head... We tried to stop her, but... Forgive us." Katie: "Running off to Shuten Douji alone...!? She's being too rash!" Anna: "Prince, let's hurry and follow after Shino-san! Kappa-san, please lead the way!" Shino's Servant Kappa: "Aye!" ■■■■■Mortal Enemy, Shuten Douji (90/12) (仇敵、酒呑童子): Shino: "At last, I found you... Shuten Douji. Now, I shall avenge father..." Shuten Douji: "Avenge father, you say? ... That youki... I see!? You're Nurarihyon's daughter." Shuten Douji: "Meh, youkai are all fools. You're no match for me, yet you come attack from the front... You'll also be struck down the same as your damn old man—" Shino: "—Silence, you're merely an oni..." Shuten Douji: "Wha!? I can't see her!? I feel no presence, either... What is the meaning of—" Shino: "... Farewell." Shuten Douji: "Gu... a... aa... W, when did you... before my bosom..." Anna: "Shino-san!! ... Thank goodness, it looks like she's safe." Hien: "Hm...!? Rolling beneath Shino-dono's feet... D, don't tell me!" Shino: "... I'm terribly sorry for going off ahead, Prince. However, as you can see, I have taken Shuten Douji's head." Shino: "All that's left is to exterminate the oni remnants before I'm finished. Prince, please lend me your strength to the end!" Shuten Douji's Head: "..." (mid-battle) Shuten Douji's Head: "Kukkukkuh..." Shuten Douji's Head: "You thought you killed me by lopping off my heeeaaad!?" Anna: "Hii...! H, his head... Shuten Douji's head is speaking...!" Shuten Douji's Head: "You lottt... I'll never forgive yooouuu...!!" (end) Shuten Douji's Head: "Curse it all... I can't fight seriously separated from my body like I am..." Shuten Douji's Head: "Can't be helped... Listen well, Four Heavenly Kings! We'll retreat for now!" Heavenly King of Heavy Water: "Y, yes, Shuten Douji-sama! R, retreat at once!" Shuten Douji's Head: "Oi!! You damned fool! Bring back my head as well, why don't you!? Right now I don't have a body, sympathise with me a bit!" Heavenly King: "H, hiiii...!? I, I have no excuse!!" Anna: "The oni have started to retreat... Somehow, we managed to win." Shino: "I can't believe he can live with just his head... Is he immortal...?" Katie: "I don't think there's any doubt you delivered a mortal wound. Shuten Douji was clearly weakened as just a body... Besides, he can't do anything right now as a head." Shino: "It would be nice if that were true, but..." Shino's Servant Kappa: "Shino-sama—! I collected a bunch of blood compacts! This many allies is enough to set up even a Hyakki Yagyou!!" Shino: "Ooh, is that true...!? For me to come this far is all thanks to the Prince. I truly do not have words to express my gratitude..." Shino: "There is distance between humans and youkai. It'll be the shame of my clan if I don't repay the favour... Prince, if there's anything troubling you in the future, please send a request to me by all means." Shino: "Well then, everyone. We'll return to the place youkai ought to exist. Let us meet again when I'm the Youkai Supreme Commander!" ■■■■■Majin Agares's Fragment (100/2) (魔陣アガレスの残片): Anna: "Thanks to Shino-san, the youkai in the oriental countries are also starting to be more orderly." Kagerou: "That said, the youkai that aren't Shino's servants are still attacking humans. Don't say this ends everything... Hm? Who's there!?" Kibashu: "—Nothing I can do about being noticed. No, our strength has become strong to the point that it's a simple matter of being noticed... Fufufu." Kagerou: "What is residing within those bodies of yours this time...?" Kibashu: "Hoh... Looks like you're sensing the fragments of Majin Agares we've taken into our bodies..." Anna: "Fragments of Majin Agares!? That means, don't tell me...!" Kibashu: "Even if you understood, it's too late! We of the Kibashu, with the Majin's power, will mince your bodies!" (end) Kibashu: "Prince... Strong as always. Even with the power of Majin Agares, we cannot defeat you..." Kagerou: "Honestly... You're too easily swayed by power. Obsessing over power like that has no meaning..." Kibahime: "—How dare you speak to us like that. The meaning of fighting is a matter that we should decide." Kibashu: "Kibahime-sama! Were you watching this fight?" Kibahime: "Of course. ... By my calculations, your power has reached sufficient levels based on this fight." Kibashu: "Th, then... at last!?" Kibahime: "... Opportunity has ripened. The time of the decisive battle is drawing near..."
