@Moonspeaker - FYI, Shuten is using Kansai-ben, and she slurs her words occasionally. Think an oiran flirting with a client.
She calls Sakata "kouzou" (boy/child), but uses the rather archaic "nushi" for "you", so I envisioned her vocabulary as being a bit old-fashioned. I've never translated an oiran's dialog, so I don't know if I have a feel for it. Maybe "young stud"? Not really sure.
Edit:@Jarlath Tried a revision. Let me know if you think it works.
She is rather old fashioned, but I thought she spoke Kyoto-ben.
Yes… although Kyoto-ben is called 'Kyou-kotoba' more often for some reason. Well, that's what the Pixivpedia says she speaks. It's an old (yet evolving) dialect.

You're right - my memory is shit.

I think it works pretty well. He grew up with her, but she's always teasing him and acting the elder... if a bit dissolute.
He didn't quite grow up with her, but he did have a apparently lengthy rivalry with her. Kintoki was born and raised on Mt. Ashigara before being taken in by Minamoto no Raikou, while Shuten Douji lived and died on Mt. Oooe. That being said, she apparently lived elsewhere and spent some time on the mainland before returning to Japan and settling down on Mt. Ooe. She probably has some connection to other mythologies as Tamamo no Mae does, but if she does I have no clue what they are or could be.
