Rikuo, Present at the Kiyojūji Squad's Formation (リクオ、清十字団結成に立ち会う, Rikuo, Kiyojūjidan Kessei ni Tachiau) is chapter 5 of the Nurarihyon no Mago manga written by Hiroshi Shiibashi.
Summary[]
The other members of the Kiyo Cross Squad stare at Yura in shock as the doll yōkai crashes to the ground. Once they have verified that she is an actual onmyōji and the doll is an actual yōkai, Kiyotsugu cries with joy. Confused, Rikuo asks Tsurara what onmyōji are, only to find the latter is in a state of panic at being so close to one. Meanwhile, Yura explains that she is part of the Keikain House, a family of onmyōji in Kyoto, and was sent to Ukiyoe Town as a test. She had heard that the master of all spirits resided there and intends to seal as many yōkai as possible in order to inherit leadership of the Keikain House. Thrilled, Kiyotsugu exclaims that he, too, is searching for Nurarihyon and declares it to be the first mission of the Kiyo Cross Squad. In the corner of the room, the doll yōkai rises up and launches an attack at Kana, but is destroyed by a word from Yura. She then begins to gather up the spilled receipts, shikigami, and coupons from her purse - while Kiyotsugu and Rikuo stare awkwardly.
Walking back to their homes, Rikuo notices that Kana is in poor spirits and learns it is because she can't deny the existence of spirits after having seen one. As they part ways at an intersection, Tsurara asks why Rikuo had agreed to let the Kiyo Cross Squad meet at his house the following Sunday and fears getting sealed by Yura. While Rikuo attempts to reassure her, several people nearby mutter about an approaching group of delinquents on motorbikes. The leader of this group turns out to be Kurata, who brightens as soon as he sees Rikuo and explains that somehow he ended up becoming the head of the Blood Nightmare Hyakki Yakō Biker Gang.
The trio return to the Nura House to find a party already underway. Inside, a wide variety of yōkai are drinking and making a mess of the room in celebration of Rikuo having once again awakened as a yōkai. In shock and frustration, Rikuo shouts at the partying group and throws something out a window. A small yōkai quietly leaves the room as this is happening, and joins a group of shadowed figures seated in a secluded hut. They state that if Rikuo has, in fact, awakened again, then they will have to eliminate him before it's too late.
