Miko's gotten good at those quick recoveries.

Speaking of dogs, the lady reminds me of this one:

If they can see like this, so can she, I suppose.

 

[Kanade0021]

Thanks for the translation!

 

[AnacondaHL]

Yeah haha, sorry about that!

FKU hasn't updated in 5 months, so I assume they're done with the series and the other translators are pretty irregular as well, so I figured it'd be fine,,
This is my very first time translating anything really and I mainly did this since I was in the mood for it. I roughly translate the chapters for myself when they release, so I just figured I'd share them

could you go back a chap and translate ch 62? That one is a mess

Reaction to dog in order:
"Awww!"
"Uhoh!"
"Hmm, actually helpful."
"Oh, it was the owner's old pet!"
"Nevermind, it's supernatural horror again."

 

[InMobius]

I think that IS Shiro and some sick bastard kidnapped him and stitch a dog head to his body, poor cat 😭

 

[Dagger]

wait a minute....

[mage_goo]

Hitoe and Mitsue, huh
I wonder if they know Futae or something

 

[Alsomebutnot]

There's an implication here of the dog being some sort of leftover hatred towards being cheated out of their money by the store owner, considering she's allergic to dogs.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

Nah, she probably refer to a real cat, the one that was adopted in chapter 4, the one that was 'abandonned' in a cardbox, before her shop (shop owner explain that shiro loved to visit and sit in front of the shop).
And We know that the cat can play with the other cat spirit, so that cat probably was helped by the dog spirit, hence his abilitie to find anything.

I'm pretty sure she think that shiro died because she never see him cameback, when in reality, he was adopted.

Oh and romel probably always under the malignent influence of the old ghost guy, wonder who that guy was, but certainly a death god level threat.

does she able to see the cursed dog or not, is my real question. Considering she's friend with grandma, i thought she did. But she act like she doesn't and instead talk about cat.

 

[Carn109]

What the dog doing

 

[KappaDvorak]

Do the Japanese mythology nerds know anything about six-legged dogs? Is there some cultural context missing here, or is it just a random monster? It feels very different from the normal monsters portrayed in this series.

Afaik there's nothing on 6 legged dog. But there is a curse that use dog by burying it up to its neck then starve it. But that curse appearance is severed dog head. So it's most likely just a random creature that stay in the shop

 

[isthon]

I'm sad it wasn't the cat now.

 

[Pollomonteros]

"Long dog yokai" makes me think of SMT's take on inugami, but the longness is their take on it and not part of folklore so it could be nothing. But SMT is very well-known and hugely influential so I really doubt the mangaka doesn't know about it.

The Wikipedia article on Inugami has a period illustration depicting an Inugami as a long reptilian/dog thing, so I don't think their depiction as long dogs was an Atlus only phenomenon

 

[Pollomonteros]

Finally, Mitsue is back!
...
Soo, can we now finally start some form of supernatural training for Miko and Julia? Let's see, there's a very serious threat around in the form of "the sickle guy" that's likely responsible for almost killing Romm and is stalking Miko, then there's the weird thing that tried to enter Miko's house posing as Michiru's sister, and finally there's the old guy and his "men in black" lackeys whose intentions are still a mystery.
Shit is getting serious and Miko is still almost clueless about the ghosts and their intentions

Don't forget the fuck huge thing at the mountains, did we ever get an explanation on that ?
The mountain sized thing near the end of chapter 39

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

Not yet. At least not for now, but I'm gonna bet my money that it is some kind of deity similar to the Shrine god, probably even more poweful than all of the previous ghosts that we have seen. For the time being, I think the author wanna focus on the sickle guy(grim reaper) first.

i don't think she is able to see the ghost, and i supose that mitsue have seen a "shiro", and my suposition is that the cat brought with him the spirit dog in the shop or was able to interact with a bound spirit dog, like what happen with the spirit in the cardbox in chapter 4, when he was adopted, the spirit dog stay in the shop, and shopowner, when shiro disapear, asked mitsue if the cat died, if i remember the "true sight" of mitsue is not very good to begin with, and i will not be surprised if mitsue mistaken the dog spirit with the cat, hence the mistunderstanding.
i don't think the dog is a real malicious one, if that was the case, she will be in a hospital like the thief in the precedent chapter.
