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
Nanimo kowaku nantenaisa
何も怖くなんてないさ
There's nothing to be afraid of.

However, should something like losing the things from your younger days

I'm seeing a sad dream with living things building up their own darkness.
Kanashii yume wo, saikiru mono ha, mizukara no yamidatte
悲しい夢を、さ生きる物は、自らの闇立って
If it makes you justice feel, you know what it means
Why would you, would you?
Makes me feel dokokaraka.

Makes me feel... from where?

The Rats of Darkness Eat Cats
That's not fooling around either.
Before taking up the burden of her fate, the Onmyou girl must cut through the demons.
Onmyou is short for Onmyouji (those adept in magic and the mystic arts).
You're a good boy, Tanrou.
Kyuso-san, what in the world is this woman?
Big bro!
Kyuso huh? The large rat demons who devour kittens.
Appearing like humans and showing up at a place like this...
Being friends with an Onmyouji...
Heh.
The third commander has quite unusual taste.
Put away that violent thing.
Don't touch me, you rat!
You seem to be an impressive Onmyouji, but...
A child is still a child after all.
Help me!
Please!
Stop! That girl has nothing to do with this!
You were distracted by my great looks and forgot about what you should be protecting, didn't you?
But, there's no need to be embarrassed.
It couldn't be helped.
Oh crap!
Well, shall I have you put that shikigami away?
Yura-chan!
Everyone! The preparations for dinner are finished!
Thanks, Yuki-Onna-chan!
What are you saying? It's always a pleasure to help you!
What's wrong, Kubinashi?
The sewer rat from a while ago was unmistakably from the Kyuso Clan.
That's true.
Now that you mention it, the guys from the Kyuso Clan
have taken over the first shopping district from the Bakeneko Clan. It seems as though they are doing whatever they feel like.
Kubinashi, you...
What happened between you and the Bakeneko Clan's leader, Ryoutaneko?
Just now, were you talking about Ryoutaneko?
Yeah, those two seemed to get along well in the past, however...
The Bakeneko Clan has always been a group of gamblers completely useless in fights.
There's no way they could be a match for the martial arts of the Kyuso Clan.
I suppose that's true.
Hey, Yuki-Onna, food, food!
Sorry to have kept you waiting!
Wait a sec...
Boss, I'll take care of things here. Please flee!
Boss!
Boss! Hurry up and run away!
I'm sorry...
Huh?!
Another rat!?
Young Master, Rikuo-sama!
Huh? The rat this time is sort of cute...
This is the first time we've had the pleasure of seeing each other.
I am the Kyuso Clan's errand rat.
The Kyuso Clan?
Yes, we are the stingy rats living in the first shopping district of Ukioe Town.
And, what does a rat like that want from me?
Well, in fact, I happened to see something,
when your friends, Keikain Yura-sama and Ienaga Kana-sama, were kidnapped by some bad looking guys...
Eh? Kidnapped?
You said kidnapped?
Yes, kidnapped. They were abducted.
Eh? This is terrible.
Th-Thank you for telling me!
Huh? You shouldn't do that Rikuo-sama! Keikaiin-sama is an Onmyouji!
There's no way anyone will step forward to help her.
That's true, but...
It's all right. In the slight chance that something happens, the guys from my clan are there.
Please, by yourself...
I understand.
Let's go!
This is terrible!
Young Master, I was somewhat flustered and came with you, but...
This place seems somewhat dangerous...
Kana-chan, Keikain-san.
I'll definitely save you!
It's the first time we've met.
I am working as the head of the Kyuso Clan, and I am Kyuso.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
You tricked me, didn't you!
I told them not to be too rough on you, but, you know...
Whatever the case, however much of a useless coward you may be, you are unmistakably the Nura Family's third commander.
Give the two of them back!
The Nura Family banner no longer has the power to fulfill our ambitions.
The age of banners and justice have long since passed.
Do you understand?
Kana-chan! Keikain-san!
This is also for the sake of your family.
The old demons you lead won't be able to survive from now on.
I'll have you declare that you won't inherit the third commander position.
And then you'll return the two of them?
During the night, I'll have you circulate your resignation around the whole country.
In the case that you can't keep that promise,
I'll have these girls die along with the dawn, kay?
Who are you? You're hurt?
The third commander! I'm disgraced.
Huh?
I was given control of the first shopping district by the supreme commander.
I'm the leader of the Bakeneko Clan, Ryoutaneko.
Ah, um... It might be better if you don't speak much...
Huh?
The things we are doing may seem like bad things from the young Master's perspective,
however, we have discipline.
We have been careful not to sully the banner of the Nura family.
Hey, someone! Come quickly!
But, those guys are different.
Young Master!
Ryoutaneko!
Such a waste...
Are you really going to return these kittens?
Don't ask me ridiculous questions.
Who would return these high quality gems?
It's obvious that I will have plenty of fun with these girls.
Young Master...!
Have you woken? Onmyou girl...
Ienaga-san!
I said that this girl has nothing to do with this!
Release her!
It seems as though you still don't understand.
Shall I teach you that without having your shikigami you're just a normal woman?
There's no one who'll come to save you.
R-Rikuo-sama...
What is this!?
It's exactly what's written there.
Karasu Tengu.
I want you to take that around to all the chief leaders of the country immediately.
If not... Kana-chan and her will be killed.
I shall not! However much you may want, I can't do something like that!
A formal resignation is just like an expulsion, It's absolute!
I know that! But in order to save those two, I have no choice but to do it!
Grandpa!
No matter how hard you try to stop me, it won't work.
Because, I will definitely save them!
The Kyuso Clan, eh?
Huh?! You knew?!
You knew and you left things alone?! Grandpa!
There were certainly some guys like that among the expelled trash.
Demons... I do hate demons after all!
Rikuo...
This time, you must settle things yourself.
I understand that.
You won't have any regrets?
I don't have any power.
There's nothing else I can do...
You mustn't, young Master.
You mustn't move!
Anyways, the Kyuso Clan aren't the type of guys to keep a promise.
Ryoutaneko!
Supreme Commander, everything is my, Ryoutaneko's cowardliness's, fault.
I, Ryoutaneko, shall settle things and take care of it!
Ryoutaneko!
Stop! What are you saying you can do?
Young Master...
There are times when a demon must do something even knowing that you'll lose.
Ryoutaneko!
Kubinashi...
This is your first raid in a while, so why are you making such noises?
My body is... hot...
You should know...
I don't know.
I don't have any power.
Because I'm a human!
No.
You should know.
About your true power.
That vindication, I will carry it out.
Who are you?!
We shall hunt rats until dawn.
Did you know?
Human blood before dawn is the most coagulated slushiest and delicious.
Don't come near us!
If only I had my shikigami!
Are you wanting this paper knife?
This is bad!
Someone... Someone save us!
Kyuso-sama! What's this?
This is my first time seeing it too.
Maybe...
This is...
A tumultuous horde.
What's this!?
Whose order are you all moving under?
The tumultuous horde shouldn't move for anyone but their master!
Their master is in front of you.
What!?
This esteemed person is the Supreme Commander, Nurarihyon's grandson.
The esteemed person who will become the next master of the demons.
Y-you sent the resignation around, right?
This thing?
Wh-what are you doing!?
You bastard!
Get away!
Hurry up!
That's... the demon leader?
Yura-chan! Quickly!
Right!
The cats managed to get away.
Crap! Underestimating me...
You guys kill everyone!
Kuro! It's a competition to see which of us can exterminate more of them!
Die!
That was dirty!
That is the best praise for a priest like me.
I am the depraved assassination monk, priest Kurotabou.
Ah!
And while you're trying to look cool, my numbers are going up!
Oh? What's this?
The leader of the Bakeneko Clan, it was... Ryoutaneko-san.
Are you injured?
I'll be his opponent.
Rikuo-sama, are you going to let him do it?
Please, Rikuo-sama!
He's... The revenge for my subordinates!
This is something I absolutely, absolutely must do!
Giving me this service too?
Ryoutaneko! Wait!
This is revenge for my subordinates!!
Ryoutaneko! Are you all right?
Of course!
Are you finished already?
I wanted to play with you a while, but there seems to be no end of trash like you.
What!?
If I take you out, these guys will scatter!
What's this?
Secret technique: Serene state of mind, cherry blossom.
Ignite all of that exile's anxiety.
If you hadn't come after me, you had a chance for victory.
I had no intention to intervene.
The Nura Family who are bound to an outdated banner will not last much longer!
I shall live more freely!
Next time we meet, I'll definitely defeat you!
Let's meet again.
Both hiding their feelings in their chests,
the two girls let the morning mist pass by.
Well now, what path will the two take?
Somewhere... I've already...
This is morning fog, eh?
The coat of fog feels good on me.
Shall we linger around a little longer before going home?
Okay!

Eh? Um...
Ah, sorry! Is that something I shouldn't have asked?
Ah!! Don't cry!
I'm sorry! Really sorry!
