I don’t remember if this ever got scanlated…
NOTE: I’m translating from Mandarin and Japanese. I refer to the tankobans when the Mandarin raw is too blurred or when there’re names to translate.

Toshimori: Daaa!

Yoshi: Daddy…
Father: eh?
Yoshi: My legs… are numb.
Bgw: Anii, come play~
Father: I’m sorry, bear with it for a little while more…
Voice: YOU IDIOT
Grandpa: From tonight onwards you are a Kekkaishi! / How can you still say something so spineless—-!!
Yoshi: Numb feet and work are not related… / bgw: keh…
Grandpa: Brat!! What attitude is that? / Useless bum!
Masa: Calm down, Grandpa, the ritual is not…
Grandpa: I’ll set you straight right now!!
Father: Ah! / Toshimori!! Where’re you going?
Yoshi: Wa—— / I can’t take it anymore—–!!
Grandpa: Useless!!
Father: Wait, Toshimori!!
Yoshi+Masa: My legs—-!! / The ritual isn’t complete yet!
89
Hakubi: Done yet, little girl?
Tokine: I can’t seem to tie this properly… / hold on for a bit, Hakubi.
Hakubi: Girls are all like that! / I don’t mind waiting. Women who can have men waiting for them are women of standard, little girl. / bgw: hawoo
Tokine: Stop calling me that.
Grandpa: Listen up. / Even if you’re alone you have to finish the job! / Madarao, Yoshimori is in your care now.
Madarao: bgw: yawn / I’m so sleepy.
Father: Be careful.
<pa
Masa: Bye bye, good luck. / From now on…. / nobody’s gonna help you anymore.
90
Bgw: Go! / Good luck….
Madarao: he cries so easily… / hey, buck up!
Yoshi: wa—-!
Hakubi: Are they going to be alright like that?
Madarao: Hey hey! / What’s with opening your bento all of a sudden? Don’t you have any intention of fighting?
Yoshi: ho, nice. Daddy put chocolate inside!
Tokine: Yoshimori.
Yoshi: Tokine!
Yoshi: hey, hey, I’ve got some chocolate, want some?
Toki: No. / Haya… / you… / It’s your first day on the job isn’t it? Will you be OK like that? / Masamori-kun won’t come to help you anymore… / You have to hunt and destroy demons on your own.
Yoshi: Shut up!! / Don’t talk about that bastard aniki! Stupid! / bgw: keh!
Toki: What?
Yoshi: I’ll say this first. / Even if aniki isn’t here… / I can do the job by myself.
Toki: Then that’s good.
91
Toki: but if you continue with that attitude of yours… / You’ll die immediately. / Let’s go, Hakubi.
Yoshi: Shut up—- I’ll be fine! Just you wait! I’ll defeat a strong demon!! / Stupid—Stupid—- / Stupid…
Madarao: He cried again…
Yoshi: blah—— how boring. / Madarao, let’s go to aniki’s classroom.
Mada: why?
Yoshi: Do you know where’s his desk? / I’m going to vandalise it!!
Mada: This kid hasn’t been taught well…
Yoshi: Chalk… Chalk…
Bgw: sniff sniff
Mada: Aah, it’s this one.
Yoshi: ok—–!
Mada: What’re you going to write?
On desk: Stupid Aniki
Mada: He’ll know it’s you right away if you write it like that… / ho! / he’s here. / Hey, let’s go!
Yoshi: y, yeah!
Bgw: heh…
92
Hakubi: Found it! / hm? / What’s wrong?
Toki: Madarao, that’s just a small demon, right?
Haku: yeah.
Toki: Yoshimori, he… always had Masamori-kun to help him and he’s never taken care of a demon on his own. / so…
Haku: ha—n / you’re thinking of giving prey to him? / Little girl.
Toki: He’s full of himself… but I think he probably doesn’t have much confidence… / Because Yoshimori is the stubborn sort…
Haku: It’s not advisable, but fine. / Let’s see what Yoshimori is capable of.
Yoshi: Hold it—-!! / Ketsu!!
Mada: Wrong!! How many times must you fail until you’re satisfied?
Yoshi: Shut up, I’m already going all out…
Mada: YOU shut up!!
Yoshi: Gah—–!!
Haku: heyhey, they’ve been chasing that little thing for a few hours already.
Toki: Just a little while more, Hakubi… A little while more would do it…
Haku: But that little demon has grown quite a bit. / shouldn’t we go out and get rid of it before it’s too late?
93
Haku: It seems there’s a bigger demon around. Leave the little one to Yoshimori. / Let’s go!
Toki: mm!
Mada: It’s all your fault for being slow! Another one has come!
Bgw: geeze~~
Yoshi: but…
Mada: Don’t bother about anything else, just take care of it!
Yoshi: e…
In box: 花魚Hanauo
It uses the flower on its head to attract prey, then catches and consumes it.
Haku: eh? We seem to have come back to the starting point…
94
Toki: Yoshimori!
Yoshi: Ah, Tokine!
Toki: Are you ok? I didn’t expect that you’d be able to contain that huge fellow.
Yoshi: huh? / It’s because it’s slow.
Yoshi: Uwaa!
Toki: Hey, don’t let down your guard. / Focus your energy.
<pa
Demon: GU!!
Tokithink: My hand feels a little numb… / It stopped! / good, now’s our chance!!
95
METSU!
Toki: Tenketsu!! / why did that demon… / it stopped unnaturally for a moment… why was that… / That should do it for tonight. / Yoshimori, we’ll scan the area one more time before going back. / Yoshimori?
Yoshi: nngh~~~
Toki: Hey—–!
Voice: aah, that’ll do Tokine-chan
96
Masa: I’ll bring him home. / bgw: Yoisho
Toki: a… / Masamori-kun, you came too.
Masa: Yep, I just arrived. / Yoshimori’ll need your guidance from now on. / I’m counting on you.
Haku: Masamori came early.
Toki: eh?
Haku: I can smell it out.
Toki: I can’t figure out if Masamori-kun is good or bad to Yoshimori.
Haku: No matter what, he still worries… they’re brothers after all.
Toki: fu—n / Brothers huh… I don’t really get it…
<grab tight.
