Volume 7

あやかしお宿の勝負めし出します

“I’m serving dishes that will determine our inn’s victory”


Description

Aoi manages a diner at Tenjin-ya, a well-established inn operated by the spirits. After the Autumn Festival ended with thriving sales, Aoi saw Ōdanna off to the Kakuriyo capital of Yōto. Later at home, in front of Aoi and friends who were waiting for Ōdanna’s return, the large ayakashi Raijū, who held a grudge against Tenjin-ya, appeared. Raijū had a sinister announcement to make: that the Oni King Ōdanna is never to return and Raijū is the new Great Master. The biggest crisis in the entirety of Tenjin-ya’s history!  Ginji and all employees are united and make a move. And then, in order to find Ōdanna, Aoi entertains guests with her food stall onboard of the Yōto-bound touring air ship.

Thanks a lot for posting the translations again. I stumbled upon your blog very recently after binge watching the anime. I am so happy that you started your translations again. I still think I will read all the spoiler posts cos I really have to know what happens between Odanna-sama and Aoi.
Keep posting!

Hi Wanderer! Yay! You found us!

It'll be a few months before I finish translating the next chapter in Vol 7, so I hope you are okay with that. Many ppl have read not just the spoilers but also other chapters that I've translated in the next volumes (cos I jump-translated to save time...). So, it's okay if you... you know, want to jump-read to know what happens between Ōdanna-sama and Aoi... totally okay! But if you want to wait, fingers crossed that I can finish Vol 7 Ch 6 quickly. It does look like a more speedier chapter to translate than the previous one...

All the best!

Hi Thanks for your reply. I just finished reading all your posts. I totally agree with your post about how Odanna-sama's love for Aoi is so mature. The ending was also so mature where Aoi gets to finish her studies.
Nice to see that you are also a fellow Natsume fan. I came to watch Kakuriyo after I searched Anime Planet for shows similar to Natsume and Kakuriyo didnt disappoint. I still am waiting for more back stories of Natsume's grandma.
Have you seen Mushishi? I absolutely love Mushishi also.

I will stay with your blog. Now that I know what will happen (that all will be well) I can enjoy the adventures Aoi would have along the way much better. I really appreciate your jump translations. Keep going!

Oh, thanks a lot for reading all my posts, Wanderer, I'm honoured!

Yes, one of the things I love about Ōdanna is that he wants Aoi to grow, and he supports her growth all the way. Love his way of ensuring Aoi does what she wants, including finishing college. I hope I get to translate that chapter one day...

In fact, I think I'll translate a short story in the Laruha Art Book (also available in Vol 12) where Ōdanna-sama was visiting Aoi while she was finishing her uni degree. I blogged about it here:

https://kakuriyo-yadomeshi.blogspot.com/2022/08/laruha-art-book-and-surprise-short-story.html

I haven't watched Mushishi, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll put that on my list! I'm currently watching Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, which has a Kakuriyo vibe in a period European setting (and it involves food too, though it's sweets instead of washoku like what Aoi is doing). I love it and now waiting for the last anime episode.

Thank you for staying with my blog. I'll do my best to translate the next chapter before/by Christmas!

I understand this takes a lot of work but gosh I wish I could read more. Got up to volume 7 chapter 5 and realized I was about to read the last posted chapter. I appreciate the work, but it seems that I'll have to start learning a new leakage now ha ha

Sorry for keeping you waiting. I was translating another volume when I took the hiatus from Vol 7 because - as I said before - it's hard for me to translate without Ōdanna-sama in the story. I also have been working on a new full time job, which takes most of my time. With the second semester ending (I work at a university, so it does take a lot of my time), I should be able to translate more. If there is another person doing Vol 7, I will let the readers know. For now, it's just me, though another fan translator is doing Vol 4. Thank you for your patience.

Kakuriyo volumes 6-11 summary… and a reflection

Image
Ōdanna & Aoi, art by Laruha This post contains the summary of Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi volumes 6-11 (Vol 11 is the Gaiden) per Amazon Japan. SPOILERS of course, so don't read it if you don’t want to know how the Kakuriyo stories continue. The summary does spill the bean of a very important aspect of Ōdanna and Aoi. However, the descriptions don’t spoil you that deep, because you still won’t know some mundane and important things, e.g. Ōdanna’s favourite food, his real name, and the reason for the events that take place in Vol 7-10. Oh, and you won't know whether Ōdanna would kiss Aoi or not, and if he would, when. Beforehand though, I’d like to make a short observation about some Kakuriyo haters. Perhaps “hate” is too strong a word, but I cannot help using that word whenever I come across some blogs/websites that consistently shred Kakuriyo to pieces. I won’t name the blogs here, but if you google “Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi”, it’s likely you’ll find 2-3 blogs that constantly...

Kakuriyo Novel Volumes 7-11 Heavy Spoilers

Image
A part of my Kakuriyo novel collection: Volumes 7-10.  This post contains HEAVY spoilers. You’ve been warned.  I’m at the moment translating Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Vol 7 Ch 1 , following on the surprising news from Raijū in Vol 6 Ch 10 . There is no Ōdanna-sama in Vol 7 Ch 1 because of what happened in Vol 6 Ch 10, but we do have Aoi feeling his loss (which is great from the viewpoint of story development, but it’s still painful). In the same chapter, one of my 2nd most favourite characters, i.e. Byakuya-san (yep, now I actually have Byakuya and Hatori competing with Ginji for the runner-up in my heart), is in charge of the move to rescue Ōdanna and Tenjin-ya. Byakuya is actually going to be very active in this quest, hence he’s going to be a very close ally of Aoi’s. Surprising, really, because he was very cold when we first met him… (but then we realised he was a cat-lover, and I always forgive cat-lovers…).

Novel Vol 12 Ch 14 (Aoi nursing Ōdanna-sama)

Image
We may never have this chapter adopted into manga or even into S2 of the anime... so we may never get a visual. However, this scene above does remind me of Ōdanna-sama having no issues being henpecked (and doted) by Aoi... Omatase! Happy to let you know that I finally finished translating Vol 12 Ch 14 (and by late July as promised!). This chapter is special to me because this is where Aoi was taking care of Ōdanna-sama, who caught a cold, thus was bedridden. After this chapter, I will resume translating Vol 7 Ch 6. There’s an intermezzo about Byakuya after Vol 7 Ch 6, so I really need to finish Vol 7 Ch 6 before translating Byakuya (which is one of my favourite characters!). I do need a few months to finish Vol 7 Ch 6 because I have a … sewing project to do… but fingers crossed by late September I can post Vol 7 Ch 6. After some conversations with Rolypolyredbeanbun , I decided to change my translation style from present tense to past tense. Before this chapter, I would translate the s...
