Tsukino Demon Parade special drama CD (Summer) track 7

おまけ・妖怪らじお

Omake – Youkai radio

Track 6 || Translation index

Shiki: Hi, passengers of the AniTen special bus! Takamura Shiki has returned alive just now! I came back alive!! They both were still half-asleep. Safe! Saaaafe!!

Soushi: Our boss is now rejoicing like a child, but from now on it’ll become a veery relaxed youkai radio.

Sora: Youkai radio! … That’s kinda cool!

Mamoru: The place is Tsukino Shrine! We’ll deliver it to you all from the main shrine! Okay, everyone, applause!

Everyone: *claps* \Eldeeers, are you watching?/ \Thanks for listening!/

Shu: And in this “youkai radio”… what do we do, exactly?

Shiki: There’s nothing decided. Just, if we introduce ourselves in general, that’ll be fine. It’s a radio that advances on that free intention.

Morihito: So if we summarize in two words: no plan, right?

Kouki: Introduce… certainly, this is the first time we appear as youkai in front of people, isn’t it? Let’s greet everyone again, including our species.

Sora: Ah by the way, the youkai setting in the Tsukino Demon Parade has a lot of original parts too, so please accept them kindly!

Shiki: I’m an oni, as species. Shuten-douji, like the name says “an oni that drinks sake”. I love sake!

Soushi: I’d love to negate that but sadly it’s mostly true. It’s not wrong. And I’m an oni too. Ever since I was born and had a sense of mind, Shiki-san picked me up and raised me. Guess I’m technically his subordinate?

Shiki: Correction: little brother.

Soushi: Ah, thank you so much.

Sora: The two onis expose a lot of skin, huh? Showing your physical beauty, yeah? Lewd~

Soushi: Shiki-san is hiding the part of his stomach especially though, with the belt and obi.

Shiki: What?! Want me to let it gooo of my clothes and show you!?

Sora: Pffft… you can see… something t... trembling...

Tsubasa: Okay okay!! And I’m next, Okui Tsubasa! I’m a karasu tengu! I can take these cool black wings in and out at will! I can freely fly in the sky wherever I want~

Mamoru: Karasu tengu… -ish!

Kouki: -ish.

Morihito: -ish.

Tsubasa: I get that a lot! But in this space-time, I’m not karasu tengu-ish, I’m an actual karasu tengu, okay? After all, I can’t not have wings! And so, I’m popular with the girls! I’m cool! This is pretty important.

Sora: This confidence!! I want it!! Too!!

Soushi: Do your best do your best~

Morihito: Soushi’s interjection is definitely sloppy.

Shu: Next, I’m a mizuchi. There are times they’re summarized as snake youkai, but in my case it’s the impersonation of a dragon. My specialty is dealing with water.

Eichi: He has a lot of virtue and even divinity, right? He’s good at purifying~

Shu: When I’m around there’s a water purification effect, so I’m very useful for survival.

Sora: *whispers* Shiki-san, was that a joke? Or was he serious?

Shiki: *whispers* I’ve known Shu for a long time, but I still can’t read him.

Eichi: Kou-kun and I are kitsune comrades, right? I’m a youkai called hakuzousu, written “the owner of the white warehouse”, and it seems it’s usually pictured as a kitsune taking the form of a Buddhist priest. The onigiri I’m holding in the illustrations are for Icchi, Issei and Shu!

Soushi: As always, your stable feeding skills.

Kouki: Even if I’m a kitsune too, I’m a nine-tailed fox. It appears in manga and games a lot too, so I think it’s easy to imagine.

Mamoru: In Tsukino Demon Parade, Kou-kun’s the direct descendant of the God of Inari, and he’s like a god apprentice. He’s being raised very, very attentively.

Sora: The protected young son of the Heavens!

Kouki: They’re just doting parents.

Tsubasa: They told you to not interact too much with the earthly world, right?

Kouki: That’s true, but… I’m negotiating with them now, I want to broaden my horizons.

Shiki: Nothing is better than to gain experience.

Kouki: Yes. But even so, the biggest reason is that I want to go travelling with Mamoru.

Shu: That’s still a very good reason.

Sora: I’m a nekomata! A cat youkai! I’m kept by the elders from a wholesale rice dealer, and it’s going to be 50 years already! They probably know what I am, but they’re taking care of me!

Morihito: You’ve become kind of a guardian deity. I’m a Holy Beast from China, a hakutaku, written with “white” and “swamp”. It’s a grateful beast that appears when a ruler is very benevolent. That’s what I am.

Sora: In Tsukino Demon Parade, you’re treated as the super precious only beast in the world, and you’re another protected child of the Heavens too, right?

Morihito: I’m doing my best to get permission to go play in the city with Soushi and Sora.

Soushi: I bet there’s someone in the Heavens getting a stomachache about this.

Mamoru: And last! I, Fujimura Mamoru, am a Kageboushi! In the story, I have the power of getting inside shadows, and to see people’s shadows. There might be people who are scared of my aspect, but I won’t do anything bad! If I find someone’s shadow, I’ll heal them with a quiet song.

Kouki: And with this, we’ve finished with our introductions and greetings?

Shiki: This year’s AniTen will also run during winter, so look forward to the other member’s youkai story.

Tsubasa: For now, the thing that won’t change about us no matter the world we’re in, is our relationships, and the fact that we do everything at our pace! I’ll be happy if you imagine us in many different situations~

Sora: Please love us in any kind of world! Goronyaaan~

Soushi: And he went sly at the end.

Sora: I’m noooot. This is called “fan service”, Soushi-kun!

Morihito: Sora, how do you think hakutaku cry?

Sora: Eh!? Ummm…

Shu: And with this, Tsukino Demon Parade Summer Group is over. Thank you for accompanying us in this strange and bewitching parallel world.

Eichi: It’d be wonderful if we can meet again! Well then, everyone!

Everyone: Thank you very much!
