EP 8: Hyakki Yakou! A Midnight Ogre Parade! (Part Two)

His magical energy is incredible!

I do not know where this so-called Great Oni hails from, but I did not expect him to be so powerful!

...The Great Oni isn't the one who's strong! It's the Kamuy's Gold. The Great Oni himself, whoever he is, can't possibly be so powerful!

Hmph. Exactly. That is not his true form.

Take his gold from him! You have plenty of your own gold now! I know you can do it!

(Sigh) Is that so?

You had a perfect opportunity for a snappy one-liner there. Now it's gone. (Sigh) Have you got stage fright now that we have a real audience, Spot?

？！

Who are you!?

...Heavens, earth, humans, blah blah blah.

...We've all heard it so many times now, so let's just skip it. I'm here to kill you.

Mind helping a girl out and letting me dissolve you nice and easy, Mr. Big Strong Great Oni?

Hmph.

This is the last one. Good luck, I guess.

...I'm a magifender, and magifense is me...

This is Magifender Girl's finale!

SHUT UP!!!

Ooh, how scary. Heaven forbid you get any angrier...

That's Magifender Girl Oni Cure for you! Did you see that, Master!?

Did you see how elegant she was!? It was just like watching Shuten! I'm in love!

Why thank you. Hehe. Anyway, let's hurry up and take this clown out...

Shall we, Sitonai?

You want me to team up with you? Okay, but I've already got my hands full trying to get the gold away from him!

I don't see a problem. That ought to work out nicely, since I'll be trying to get the oni away from him myself.

...Now then, just what sort of oni are you? Were you born from fire, dripping with hate and malice?

...Are you an oni who lives outside the domain of humans?

...Or an oni given form by myth and legend!?

Wha... Huh...!?

What did...you do...to me!?

Look, Master! The Great Oni's enormous body is...!

Hey, yeah. It looks like it's shrinking. And fast.

He's losing magical energy, too!

I think it's the combination of Magifender Girl's spell, and Sitonai's...

...I see. Now I understand.

You aren't the gold. It didn't use you as a shell to protect itself.

You've been using the gold as a shell.

It must be heavy, wearing that much gold. It's okay. You don't have to carry it anymore.

You can put it down now. I promise.

Wh...wha...

I can see it... The Great Oni's very body is...peeling away, and falling to the ground.

...Well? Who is it? Who's been inside the Great Oni this whole time?

...Who? Well that's rude. Who do you think? I've been inside the Great Oni this whole time because I AM the Great Oni.

Still, I have to give you props for breaking through this getup I made for interviews. Nice job.

Usually, you'd have to go through my manager before actually seeing my real face...but I guess I can make an exception this one time.

This is the real me!

I am the lead vocalist for the rock band Great Oni Vermilion Dragon, and an internationally adored idol!

...Elisabeth JAPAN!

Hey! I heard you leaving out the caps! They're there for a reason, you know!

？！

Oniland... An amusement park themed after the Far East...but also completely chock-full of pumpkins for no apparent reason...

Now that I think about it, the clues were right in front of us all this time! Pumpkins!

Oniland isn't just an amusement park...it's also this year's Halloween debacle!

Hmm, that explains why nothing in this place really seems all that Japanese.

But there's still a lot I don't get! Elisabeth JAPAN! Why make this place? And why disguise yourself as the Great Oni Vermilion Dragon?

I'll admit you always stood out to me, since you're an Anti-Hero dragon girl with pretty red horns...

...but why would you do something like this!? I don't get it at all!

I mean, you're supposed to be a Chaldean Servant! You're supposed to be Fujimaru's spear!

Huh? Chaldea? Dragon girl?

(Sigh) What in the world are you talking about? This is why rude guests are so annoying!

My name's Elisabeth JAPAN. That's the only me I know!

But, that's enough chitchat!

There's only thirty minutes left until Night Fest, the best part of the parade, and I'm not gonna let you rain on it!

No, tonight's Night Fest is gonna be real special. You're all gonna help me put on the hippest, cutest, most stylish bloodbath ever!
