Fukigen na Mononokean Ch. 64

I actually had some free time to sit down with the chapter today, so I’m on time, after all! Looks like Abeno and Ashiya might finally have a lead on Aoi by helping Zenko with her spirit photo problem.

Please remember to check out the official English release when it comes out, preferably on Crunchyroll if you’re able to!

Fukigen na Mononokean Chapter 64 - In The Blink of An Eye

Page 4

Ashiya: I thought you'd be here when I saw you weren't in the room...

Ashiya: (I've found him lying in the entryway multiple times since yesterday...

I wonder why...?)

Ashiya: !

Ashiya: ...

Ah...

Page 5

Ashiya: You’re waiting for Abeno-san to come back, huh...

Ashiya: Unfortunately,

Ashiya: You're jumping the gun a little.

[Abeno-san still has two days left to his stay in the Underworld.]

Page 6

[Two days later...]

Ashiya: Welcome...

Home!

(Fusshi: Abenon, Abenon!)

(Saga: Welcome home?)

Ashiya: (Abeno-san also jumped the gun and came back early! (Fuzzy! Abeno-san's here!))

Page 7

Abeno: Report...

Abeno: The princess's condition is quite well... The strength of her divine protection has increased, so they've determined the threat of plague plants and host insects invading the Underworld to be low.

...The very moment that happened, the Legislator said "Let's have a feast!" like he always does, and wanted me to stay for dinner, so I retreated...

That's it.

Ashiya: Good work completing your mission! Everything's been peaceful in the Mundane world since I came back!

Ashiya: (The Underworld must be fine, too, if Abeno-san's back. Today's a good day!)

Page 8

Abeno: And?

Abeno: Where's that spirit photo you wanted to show me?

Ashiya: Ngh!

Zenko: Here...

Abeno: Mm...

(Trying not to look...)

Zenko: This was delivered to the temple with a request to soothe the spirit.

Ashiya: Do you get these a lot? (Spirit photos...)

Zenko: Occasionally.

Zenko: Dad's too scared to look so me and Mom examine them for him.

(Zenko's Papa: How creepy...)

(Zenko: Let me look.)

Page 9

Zenko: According to the enclosed letter, the photograph was taken at least twenty years ago.

Ashiya: Really...

Zenko: Apparently, the son lost his father in an unexpected accident when he was young.

They seem to think the phenomenon in this mother-son photo started because his father wasn't able to find peace, so they sent it to our place.

Page 10

Abeno: ....!

Ashiya: Eep!?

Ashiya: Abeno-san, you're so used to freaky things, but there's something there that scares even you...?

Abeno: ...No, it's nothing...

Ashiya: ?

Zenko: There's nothing particularly unusual shown, though...

Zenko: The weird thing is that something "disappears" while you're staring at it.

Page 11

Ashiya: If... If I stare at it, it'll disappear....?

Ashiya: ...

Ashiya: Nothing's gone?

Zenko: Right?

Zenko: They wrote that in the letter, so I looked hard at it, but

I couldn't verify it.

Zenko: That kind of thing isn't exactly rare, though. There are people who mistake a reflected shadow for a ghost and send it to us.

Zenko: Still, the least we can do is perform a ceremony for them. I was supposed to give the photo over to my dad to burn in a ceremonial bonfire,

But...

Page 12

Yahiko: Hey... Are you going to burn this?

Zenko: We'll be burning it as part of the ceremony.

Yahiko: Hmmm....

Yahiko: ...

Yahiko: Before you burn it, you should show it to Haruitsuki.

Zenko: To Abeno?

Yahiko: Yeah.

If he sees it, he'll definitely...

Page 13

Zenko: "He'll definitely be surprised," he said.

Ashiya: Surprised...

Ashiya: Is that what it was?

Abeno: ......

Zenko: Yahiko also said that,

I should consult with Abeno if I want to know whether the phenomenon in the picture is related to a demon.

Page 14

Abeno: ...Zenko.

Abeno: Is it okay if I hold onto this?

Abeno: I want to investigate what it has to do with demons.

Zenko: Yeah. (Go ahead.)

Page 15

(Zenko: Lunch was delicious.)

(Zenko: I have P.E. next, so I'll go back first.)

Ashiya: Hmmm...

Even though I'm staring this hard at it, nothing's disappearing...

Ashiya: If the supernatural phenomenon really happened like the person who sent the letter said,

Is it because of a demon...? What will we do if it's a ghost?

Abeno: ...

Abeno: ...At the very least, it's not entirely unrelated to demons.

Ashiya: ...What makes you say that?

Page 16

Abeno: There's a large black cat in the child's arms, right?

Abeno: That's... Aoi.

Ashiya: Ah...

Page 17

Ashiya: This cat is...!!

(The previous owner of the Mononokean... Aoi-san?!)

Page 18

Abeno: The first time I saw it, I thought it was just a coincidental resemblance, but...

Passing this onto me is probably Yahiko's way of saying that it's Aoi.

Abeno: So... It's likely the real thing.

Abeno: If they went to this place, it must have been because of something involving a demon.

Abeno: I think it's worth checking out the location.

Ashiya: (The location...)

Page 19

Ashiya: The sender's address... An apartment and room number are written here, right?

Abeno: Ah?

Ashiya: The building shown in the picture is a detached house, so they probably moved...

Abeno: There's a way to find out.

Abeno: There should be a record in the old reports if Aoi went there for work.

We can determine the location from them, provided we find some clues in the letter and the picture.

(Abeno: Hairball... Calm down already.)

Page 20

Ashiya: (The lunch bell...)

Abeno: (Haa...) No way around it... I should go...

Ashiya: Yeah! (Next is math class...)

Abeno: I'm going to go search through the reports at the Legislator's place...

Ashiya: (Eh!?) You're going to the Underworld?!

Abeno: Mononokean, come!

Ashiya: Wait a second?! When are you coming back?! Abeno-saan!!

Page 21

Mononokean: Opening a door to...

Page 22

Abeno: This is the place.

Ashiya: (I can sense a demon...!)

Ashiya: (But...)

Abeno: The building isn't here anymore, huh...

Page 23

Ashiya: Ah... Fuzzy! Don't go off on your own!

(Ashiya: Fuzzy!)

Abeno: !?

(Ashiya: Fuzzy! Heey!!)

Page 24

Abeno: (It's disappearing...!)

Ashiya: !?

Ashiya: Abeno-san... Up there...

Abeno: !

Page 25

Ashiya: A...

Demon...?

Page 26

Ashiya: Huh? Is this building the one in the photo...?!

(Abeno: It vanished.)

Abeno: So the photo's odd behavior was just a precursor to this building appearing...

Ashiya: A demon's aura is coming from the building!

The culprit behind the supernatural phenomenon must be in there...!

Ashiya: Ngh?!

Abeno: Huh?

Page 27

(Ashiya: Why are you there!?)

Ashiya: Fuzzyyy!!! Get down from there!!

Page 28

Ashiya: Alright! Alright!

Ashiya: Alri...

Ashiya: -ight?

Abeno: !

Ashiya: Uwahhh?!

Ashiya: (I'm floating?! Zero gravity!?)

Page 29

Ashiya: (...And it's due to that black hole!?)

Ashiya: (Gyaaaaah?!) It's sucking us iiin!?

Abeno: Isn't it saying "come on in"?

Ashiya: Shouldn't you be a little more flustered!? (You're too calm!!)

(Ashiya: Gyaaaaaaah!!)

Page 31

Ashiya: Ow, owww...

Fuzzy... Abeno-san... Are you guys okay?

Abeno: Yeah... It's so dark I can't see what's around me.

Ashiya: Are we in outer space?

Abeno: ...What? There's something over here... (sfx: Fluff)

Hairball?

Ashiya: ...Um...

...Abeno-san, you're petting my hair.

sfx: Whack!

Ashiya: OW!

Abeno: !?

Ashiya: Uwah! It's so bright!

Page 32

Ashiya: This is... an entryway?

Abeno: Seems so...

It doesn't look like they're going to greet us after inviting us in...

(Ashiya: Fuzzy, are you okay?)

Abeno: !

Page 33

Abeno: !?

Abeno: (It locked?!)

(Is someone on the other side of the door?)

Abeno: ...

(...But they had to be inside to turn on the light, right?

Does this building have multiple demons living in it?)

(If so, what's their reason for hiding themselves from us?)

(Are they curious about our appearance here?)

(Or...)

(Do they... not have a body...?)

Ashiya: ...

Ashiya: I'm going to get angry in a second, you know?

Page 34

Abeno: Wha?

Ashiya: Are you enjoying the feel of your Ashiya seat cushion!?

Please get off me!!

(Abeno: A seat cushion demon...)

Abeno: Hey... Someone locked the front door.

Ashiya: Huh?!

Ashiya: D... Did you see them?

Abeno: I couldn't see their form, but they were definitely there.

Abeno: I wonder if they'll reveal themselves.

Ashiya: Sorry for intruding!! We're exorcists from the Mononokean!!

Page 35

Abeno: !?

Page 36

Ashiya: A...

Abeno-san...

Ashiya: There's someone...

Ashiya: There!!

[find-someplace]

Abeno slapping Ashiya after he realizes he was petting Ashiya’s head instead of Fuzzy is quality comedy and I’m here for it.
