In the postscript, Shiibashi-sensei said that by writing the curse removal and this Rikuo and Tsurara scene, he finally feel that he has finished the manga.
And in the back of cover, everyone drinking, but there is jeering about Rikuo and Tsurara as "elder sister wife", "younger golden straw sandal" (from Japanese proverb of 年上の女房は金の草鞋を履いてでも探せ Look for elder wife even if you have to wear golden straw sandals)

It's a lie from the devil everyone!! I have faith in my harem end, I forsake thee Sataaan! ... hmph even if it's true i'm gonna pretend i didnt see it.
I honestly didn't expect such a blatant ending and delivered in a nice way.
That said, I wonder how long those omakes are. It'd be nice if they had a some mid length at least. I think I could enjoy this much more that way.

A shame it will take quite a few months 'till Viz releases the final volume. Still, two volumes at month ain't that bad of a deal...
I can even fraternize with Yura fans since it was interesting and funny the idea of a youkai and a youkai killer together but there was not enough shippeable moments between her and Rikou, though.
From a rational stand point, it makes sense. The other girls would be long in their graves while both Rikuo and Tsura are in their prime of their very long lives.
We shouldn't think too much about it. Tsurara is a great girl, I'm sure she'll make a great wife. The problem is, she will live on after Rikuo is dead.

Was it stated that Rikuo is not completely immortal, or just speculation.

I believe he is immortal as his grandfather and his dad would of been too, but die before that was confirm. Rikou IMO would wait for the perfect age to stay immortal, like age 25.
Too bad his human harem will age and die, but not before they give him plenty of grandchildren.

Regarding Tsurara, going with my scenario above, Tsurara can now stalk Rikuo new grandchildren, maybe even on an extend and go for a girl.
