A Three-Generation Tavern Chronicle of Nurarihyon Slipperiness (ぬらりひょん ぬらりくらりの 居酒屋三代記): Rikuo and Tsurara

Always wanted to translate this for a very long time  because I love one aspect of Rikuo that was mentioned in this voice drama ! ^________^

I have translated this from the chinese translation.
You can listen to the japanese audio here

*sounds of running in the rain*

Rikuo: *knocks on the door* Excuse me

Lady: *opens door* Yes, who is it? Ah

Rikuo: Erm, can we take shelter here from the rain?

Lady: Of course, come in. I will go and get the towels. *sigh*

Rikuo: Thank you. Tsurara, we can take shelter.

Tsurara: That's great! Waka won't be catching a cold. *closes door*

Lady: Here's the towels. Please use them. *sigh* I will go and make some hot soup.

Tsurara: Thank you very much! Well waka, let's towel dry
wipe~wipe~wipe~wipe~

Rikuo: Aaaaah, wait, Tsurara, it's alright, I can dry myself

Tsurara: No, it will be a problem if you catch a cold.
wipe~wipe~wipe~wipe~

Rikuo: even so...

Tsurara: Ah, here too.

(Tsurara: once again, wipe~wipe~wipe~)

Rikuo: Aaaaaah ~~there~~~ahahahahahahahahahaha, Tsurara, it's ticklish~~~ahahhahaahhahaa

(Tsurara: wipe~wipe~wipe~wipe~wipe~wipe~)

Rikuo: wai~wait~ Ssttoopp ~ stoooppp~~Tsurara ahahahahahahahahha I say stop!

Tsurara: Yes, almost completely dried.

Rikuo: *panting* Thank you. Well then let me dry you (I'm so tempted to put "I will wipe you" XD)

Tsurara: As for me, I'll be alright. I can dry myself

Rikuo: Really?

Tsurara: Yes, no need to worry. wipe~wipe~wipe~

Tsurara's inner thoughts: Eh?? Stupid, stupid, stupid me!! Why did I reject?? It's such a rare chance that Waka said he want to dry me! Oooh man!!!

Lady: Please come over here. Hot soup is ready. Please drink some. *sigh*

Rikuo: Hai, itadakimasu

Tsurara: Erm... hot stuff to me...

Lady: You... are a snow woman. Let's get you something cold. *drink tea* *sigh*

Rikuo: Say... is there something troubling you?

Lady: Eh?

Rikuo: Because you have been sighing continuously from just now.

Lady: Ahla~ is that so? *sigh*

Tsurara: See, you sighed just now. What happened?

Lady: Well.. by right, I shouldn't discuss this with guests... Actually I am waiting for someone since long ago.

Tsurara: waiting for someone since long ago? By no means, is it someone you loved?

Lady: Well.. should be this feeling I guess. *Sigh* The longer I wait, the more I am unsure when will meet the person in this inn. *sigh*

Rikuo: How long have you waited?

Lady: For more than a decade.

Tsurara: Amazing. Waiting for just that person for such a long time. You're really great.

Lady: Is that so? *sigh*

Tsurara: Yes! Don't you think so too, waka?

Rikuo: Eh? Yes..

Tsurara: Waka?

Rikuo: Ah... nothing. I am thinking how does it feel to be waiting for 10 years.

Tsurara: What kind of feeling... usually should be very lonely?

Rikuo: There should be many types of loneliness? If all were labelled as just loneliness, won't it be too simple? Just now I was thinking, if I am waiting for that person for more than a decade...

Tsurara: Waka...

Lady: Rikuo sama, you have someone that you like too?

Rikuo: Yes

Tsurara: EH?? Who?? Who do you like??

Rikuo: Isn't that needless to say? Of course it's everyone in the clan

Tsurara: Eh?

Rikuo: Everyone in nura clan is like my family. I love all of them

Tsurara: So... so i see... that means, I too...

Rikuo: Of course, Tsurara is an important family member.

Tsurara's inner thoughts: Family member? Should I feel happy or desolate?  Nevertheless, am still happy!

Rikuo: If I can't see everyone for 10 over years, I will feel very sad. If I am to really experience that, it will be even more...

Lady: You are really warm hearted, Rikuo sama.

Rikuo: Eh?

Lady: The only person that understand my feelings is only you, Rikuo sama. To be deemed as important, your nakama must be very fortunate.

Rikuo: No... far from it. I am always taken care of by them. Huh? My name...

Tsurara: What are you saying, waka! There's no one more considerate of their nakama than waka. Always placing others first and putting own self aside.

Rikuo: No, this is what I should be doing.

Tsurara: In the past too. You are clearly very tired, but still do your homework doggedly at the night. Seeing you like this, I am so moved that I want to cry.

Rikuo: Eh? You saw it, Tsurara?

 Tsurara: Yes. When I heard waka saying, " Quadratic equation to me is just a piece of cake", I was so touched that I wanted to faint.

Rikuo: Ahhh, enough, enough. Nothing is more embarrassing than baffling actions caused by lack of sleep .

Lady: Both of you are really close. (note: your observation is superb! XD)

Rikuo: Haha, sorry, we are very noisy.

Lady: It's okay. It's been a long while since this inn was this lively.

Tsurara: Recent customers, all are very quiet?

Lady: No, this inn doesn't have any customer for a long time.

Tsurara: Eh? Why?

Lady: There are people who will cause a disturbance when they see customers in this inn.

Rikuo: People who cause disturbance?

Lady: They are a group of youkai who wished to seize this land. They started to create a ruckus ever since I rejected them during the first negotiation.

*sounds of banging on the door*

Tsurara: Wh...what?

Rikuo: They have damaged the wall.

Lady: How did it come to this? This is dangerous. Please quickly escape from the backdoor.

Tsurara: What? What about you?

Lady: I.... will give up this inn.

Tsurara: Eh? But aren't you waiting for someone?

Lady: No choice... this... I...

Tsurara: But haven't you been always waiting?

Youkai Rikuo: Oi oi, isn't it too early to give up?

Lady: Eh? That figure...

Youkai Rikuo: I will deal with them immediately. Wait for a while.

Lady: Don't tell me you intend to fight with the youkai? Cannot! Those fellows are merciless.

Tsurara: No, it's alright. Because he is a master that protects nakama and leads them. This is his hyakki yakou (night parade of 100 demons)

Y.Rikuo: Only know how to destroy store. What a group of despicable cowards. Listen carefully and remember this well. This is my territory and to those who are unruly *swing sword* I, Nura clan's Third Leader, Nura Rikuo, will not forgive.

*sounds of sword striking*

Tsurara: Waka, I will help too, Noroi no Fubuki. *blow*

Y.Rikuo: *sword strike* Hum, can't endure one hit.

Tsurara: Waka, are you hurt?

Y.Rikuo: Not at all.

Lady: Amazing. In a blink of an eye, those ferocious youkai were...

Y.Rikuo: Lady boss, from now on, you can continue manning this inn.

Lady: Yes, I am very grateful to receive your protection.

Tsurara: Ah, right, as for the person whom the lady boss is waiting for, what kind of person is he? With some information, our clan can help you to find.

Lady: Yes... Well.. I have already met him...

Tsurara: Huh?

Y.Rikuo: How is that so?

Lady: I have been always waiting for Rikuo sama, your visit.

Y.Rikuo: What?

Lady: Rihan sama had promised that one day he would bring a grown up Rikuo sama to this place and drink together.

Y.Rikuo: My father?

Lady: Yes, since Rihan sama had passed away, that promise was not realised. But I always hope that one day will meet Rikuo sama.

Y.Rikuo: So I see.. it's my father. You must have gotten my name from my father?

Lady: Yes. And because I only know the name, I am very sorry that I didn't recognize you from the beginning.

Y.Rikuo: No, that's nothing. And Lady boss, can order some wine? And bring 4 glasses.

Tsurara: 4?

Y.Rikuo: Mine, Tsurara's, Lady boss' and my father's.

Tsurara: Ha

Lady: I understand


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Lady: That, sorry. tonight...

Nurarihyon: Long time no see, lady boss

Lady: Ah, Supreme Commander, how rare.

Nurarihyon: I have heard from Rikuo about the trouble. It's been hard for you.

Lady: No, but it's fortunate that 3rd Leader was here. When I first knew that he is Rikuo sama, I was very shocked and wonder why he was the master, but since I saw his other form, I understood.

Nurarihyon: Same as Rihan?

Lady: And Supreme Commander too. Both exterior and internally.

Nurarihyon: Is that so?

Lady: Yes and all treasure their hyakki yakou. Really the same.

Nurarihyon: Rikuo that fellow is still far behind. For his hyakki yakou to obey him, he is still lacking.

Lady: Oh and also being popular with the girls is hereditary.

Nurarihyon: What? That kid is popular? Where? Which girl?

Lady boss: Ok ok, please take a seat first. We will talk while drinking. Seem like for tonight, we will not go home without being drunk.

-end-

Can't believe I translated the whole thing just to show that Rikuo did his homework while being in youkai form XD. I also love the interaction between Rikuo and Tsurara.
