The Night Parade百鬼夜行

A member of Okuni's troupe is looking for a charm dropped by one of her regulars. The man apparently lost it while trying to escape a large procession of spirits known as a "Night Parade," and is now fearful of leaving the area unprotected. Ever helpful, Musashi agrees to recover the charm.

Where it starts on the map

Night Parades

When hordes of ghosts and ghouls get together and make their way through the streets at night, they are said to be holding a "Night Parade."

Normally, any soul unfortunate enough to stumble upon this eerie procession would expect to meet their doom. However, there was once a man who encountered such a gathering but lived to tell the tale, all because he had sewn into his robes a mantra written by an eminent monk.

Rumor of this fantastic tale soon spread far and wide, and people began to wear the very same mantra on their person, urging each other never to leave home at night without it.

After clearing

It turns out that the Night Parade was really a procession of marauding Genma. After dealing with the ghastly ghouls, Musashi recovers the missing charm, only to discover that it was a fake... Not that a real one would have kept its owner safe from harm!

The Night Parade, monologue 8 lines

Lady Murasaki (Butterfly)A horde of Genma. The truth behind
the Night Parade, I suppose.
幻魔の群れか…。百鬼夜行の正体見たり、だな
ShizukaMusashi, I sense another Night Par—
Uh, another Genma patrol in the area.
武蔵殿。他にも百鬼夜行…ではなく、幻魔の群れの気配を感じます
MusashiI'll get rid of them. It'll probably go
better than searching for that charm is.
片づけにいくか。御守とやらも見つからねぇしな
Lady Murasaki (Butterfly)Is that all of them?すべて片付いたな
ShizukaNo, I sense even more. And among
them, a very dangerous presence.
いえ、まだ群れはいます。しかも、かなり危険な気配が…
MusashiShe got the "large procession" part right...ったく、次から次に…
Musashi...She was...uh...energetic, wasn't she?…にしても、ずいぶん変わった女だったな
ShizukaI believe she handles the troupe's advertising.
Her "energy" certainly seems like it would draw a crowd.
確か一座の宣伝をしている方です。あの明るさ、適任だと思います

The Night Parade, scene 1 15 lines

Troupe MemberOh, Musashi! Thanks to you, our troupe is back up and
running! All that's left is to wait for Okuni to come back.
あ、武蔵さん。おかげで興行も再開できて、 あとは一座に阿国さんが戻るのを待つばかりです
Troupe MemberThat said, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.…なんですが、ちょっと相談したいことがありまして
Troupe MemberOne of our regulars seems to have had a run
in with...
実は常連のお客さんが…
MusashiHuh?……?
Troupe Member...the Night Parade! Or so he says.『百鬼夜行』に遭遇したって言うんですよ
MusashiNight Parade?ひゃっきやこう…?
Troupe MemberPut simply, it's a large procession of spirits.分かりやすく言えば、妖怪たちの大行進です
Troupe MemberThey say you'll be killed if you encounter the Night
Parade. That is, unless you have a certain charm on you.
遭遇したら殺されてしまうんですが、 特別な御守を持っていれば見逃してもらえる…という話です
MusashiIf he lived to tell the tale...それを見たってのか
Troupe MemberYes, thankfully, he had a charm on him. The only
problem is, he dropped it when he was running away.
ええ。幸い御守を持っていたから助かったんですが、 逃げるときに落としちゃったようで…
Troupe MemberHe's so scared that he might run
into them again, he won't leave.
怖くて帰れないって震えてるんです
MusashiNot your bravest customer, I hope.
I'll see if I can find it for him.
肝っ玉の小せぇ客だな。 仕方ねぇ。探してきてやるよ

The Night Parade, scene 2 3 lines

Lady Murasaki (Butterfly)Musashi, what do you have there?…武蔵よ、何を持っている
MusashiSomething I picked up. You think
this is the charm we're looking for?
拾ったんだよ。これが例の御守か?
ShizukaI think it may well be. I sense no remaining Genma
presence either. We should go and return it.
間違いないかと。 群れの気配もなくなりましたし、戻るといたしましょう

The Night Parade, scene 3 3 lines

Troupe MemberAh! That's the charm! Now our regular can go home in peace!あっ、その御守です! これでお客さんも安心して帰れますね
Troupe MemberI'll hand it back to him right away.
Musashi, thank you for this! Bye!
それじゃ、さっそく届けます。 武蔵さん、ありがとうございました
MusashiI wouldn't bet on that charm against an army of "spirits"...妖怪の大群が御守一つで防げるとも思えねぇけどな

The Night Parade, scene 4 7 lines

Lady MurasakiIndeed, one little charm may prove
ineffective against the Night Parade.
百鬼夜行が、御守一つで防げるかどうか…。 確かにその通りだな
Lady MurasakiAnd in any case, the one we retrieved is a fake.しかも、あの御守は偽物だった
Lady MurasakiI don't know where its owner got it, but it
has no power at all. A pointless trinket.
どこで手に入れたのか知らんが、何の力も感じなかった。 ゴミクズも同然だ
Lady MurasakiAnd yet...to that owner, it grants the
ability to disperse their paralyzing fear.
されど持ち主からすれば、 動けなくなるほどの恐怖を打ち消す効果がある…
Lady MurasakiFaith works in mysterious ways, don't you think?イワシの頭も信心から…というやつだな
Lady MurasakiUntil next time!また会おう
Musashi(式部への返事)
