BUBBLE6: What are you guys doing?

BUBBLE7: Isn't it rude to just suddenly
BUBBLE8: ?
BUBBLE9: attack people?

TITLE: The Reason I Need Power

163:
BUBBLE1: Wow...

BUBBLE2: He's so cute!
BOX1: When I first met Musashimaru
BOX2: I was 11 years old

BUBBLE: Ufufufufu (hee hee hee hee)
BOX3: He was still a kitten, born at a relative's house,
BOX4: when my dad went to go pick him up

BOX5: We've been close ever since.

BOX6: Around that time
BOX7: I was also always class president or vice president, or some other position.

164:
BOX1: I loved to be couted on, to be trusted.
BUBBLE1: So, we need to pick a show to do for the Arts Festival.
BOX2: I was the type of person who could never say no.

BUBBLE2: Let's do Cinderella.
BUBBLE3: The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (*a.k.a, The Tale of Princess Kaguya)
BUBBLE4: Let's do an anime.

BUBBLE5: Like what?
BUBBLE6: No, that's stupid!
BUBBLE7: How about an RPG?
BUBBLE8: Peter Pan would probably do well.
BUBBLE9: Then, I wanna be Captain Hook!

BUBBLE9: Aww, c'mon!
BUBBLE10: Just pick something already!

BOX3: I believed that discussion was the best policy...

BUBBLE11: My situation?

BUBBLE12: Right.
BUBBLE13: Let me hear what you have to say.

165:
BUBBLE1: I know as a result of a battle that occured one thousand years ago, you spirit beats were sealed in this land.
BUBBLE2: I realize that you all despise humans as a result.
BUBBLE3: However,
BUBBLE4: I'm sure you've heard that nothing ever comes from revenge.

BUBBLE5: If you truly plan on hurting people,
BUBBLE6: then we will have no choice but to respond appropriately.
BUBBLE7: ...But, if you promise to stay your tusks,
BUBBLE8: no one will have to get hurt.

BUBBLE9: So, again, please--
BUBBLE10: Humans
BUBBLE11: !

BUBBLE12: will die.

166:
BUBBLE1: You have
BUBBLE2: my answer!

BUBBLE3: You will die
BUBBLE4: knowing the burden of our hatred, human!!

167:
BUBBLE1: Whoa,
BUBBLE2: watch out!
BUBBLE3: Sempai!

BUBBLE4: Kotori!
BUBBLE5: Kyaa!

BUBBLE6: Hey!
BUBBLE7: Stop!
BUBBLE8: Please!

BUBBLE9: Just speak with me, at least for a little while longer!

168:
BUBBLE1: What the hell are they doing!?
BUBBLE2: They're just running away!
BUBBLE3: ...

BUBBLE4: Don't you want to fight!?

BUBBLE5: Maybe...
BUBBLE6: They don't...

BUBBLE7: Get rid of this thread so we can help them out.
BUBBLE8: Wha!?
BUBBLE9: But, once I make it vanish, I can't use it for a while...
BUBBLE10: Then just unravel it!

BUBBLE11: Even if I do, how should use the thread...?
BUBBLE12: You need to practice!

BUBBLE13: Hurry or they're going to die!
BUBBLE14: Haaauuuu...

BUBBLE15: Shut up!
BUBBLE16: Keep your paws outta this,
BUBBLE17: Kansuke.

BUBBELE18: Kotori.
BOX1: ...I already know.

169:
BUBBLE1: Kyaa!
BUBBLE2: Kotori!!

BUBBLE3: ...
BOX1: I know
BUBBLE4: So, you have absolutely no intention of listening to me?

BOX2: that the world
BOX3: isn't that kind.

170:
BUBBLE1: Look out!

BUBBLE2: Sempai!

BUBBLE3: Blockhead.

171:
BOX1: It was
BOX2: the summer of two years ago.

BUBBLE1: Divorce?!

BUBBLE2: It's...
BUBBLE3: already been decided, Kotori...

172:
UBBLE1: That's a Lie!
BUBBLE2: Why?
BUBBLE3: When did you decide this?

BUBBLE4: Why didn't you talk to me about it?
BUBBLE5: You've noticed it too, haven't you?
BUBBLE6: Things just haven't gone well between your father and me

BUBBLE7: ...
BUBBLE8: Did you properly talk things out?

BUBBLE9: It's because we talked things out...
BUBBLE10: That it ended up like this, Kotori

BUBBLE11: Liar!

173:
BOX1: Something within me changed.
TV1: Next on the news,
TV2: the war between the opposing religious factions in the Middle East has escalated.
TV3: UN Secretary-General Aran has...
BUBBLE1: I'll be coming home late, so...

BUBBLE2-6: ...

TV4: ...And despite the persuasions of other nations, all cease-fire negotiations have broken down.
TV5: Aerial bombings in the southern part of the country have begun once again,
TV6: and many citizens, including children, have become casualties.
BOX2: I started thinking irrationally.

174:
BUBBLE1: There's no way those people were serious
BUBBLE2: about being diplomatic.

BUBBLE3: People only care about themselves...

BOX1: And then,
BUBBLE4: I shall grant power
BUBBLE5: that suits you both.

BOX2: the Kotori that wanted power
BOX3: was born.

175:
BUBBLE1: !!
BUBBLE2: Kyau...
BUBBLE3: ...!!

BUBBLE4: Hasutani-sempai

BUBBLE5: Heh, how's that, human?

BUBBLE6: !?

BUBBLE7: What!?

BUBBLE8-9: *cough*
BUBBLE10: Really...

176-177:
BUBBLE1: You could at least listen to what I have to say.
BUBBLE2: Stupid Pig.

178:
BUBBLE1: What IS that?
BUBBLE2: ...
BUBBLE3: I think it's...Manjuu.

BUBBLE4: With my ability
BUBBLE5: I can reproduce the dishes that I'm good at making

BUBBLE6: And today's dish is Butaman.

BUBBLE7: Nothing personal
BUBBLE8: It just sort of came to me while I was looking at you...

179:
BUBBLE1: And Musashimaru
BUBBLE2: with just a helping of my cooking, becomes a giant
BUBBLE3: and completely powers up!
BUBBLE4: Ha!

BUBBLE5: Here, Musashimaru

BUBBLE6-7: !!!

BUBBLE8: You need to be punished.

180-181:

182:
BUBBLE1: This could've been avoided if you had just listened to her.
BUBBLE2: Idiot.
BUBBLE3: Hmph.

183:
BOX1: In the end...
BOX2: I can't do this without power.

BUBBLE1: Whoa...
BUBBLE2: This...
BUBBLE3: is their
BUBBLE4: power...?

BUBBLE2: She's scary, man
BUBBLE3: That girl is too scary...
BUBBLE4: ...

BUBBLE5: Ha!
BUBBLE6: Did you see that?
BUBBLE7: Our combined power!

BUBBLE8: It was hard not to!
BUBBLE9: You're a monster!
BUBBLE10: What the hell is with that!?
BUBBLE11: Heh.

184:
BUBBLE1: Kotori believes
BUBBLE2: that any problem can be solved through honest and sincere discussion.

BUBBLE3: However, in reality,
BUBBLE4: the amount of people who would seriously talk things through with someone beneath them
BUBBLE5: is next to none.

BUBBLE6: If that's the case, then what would she need?

BUBBLE7: Power so overwhelming
BUBBLE8: that parties would have to come together and talk.

185:
BUBBLE1: In other words: me.
BUBBLE2: My overwhelming size is my power after all.

BUBBLE3: But you're TOO big...
BUBBLE4: You're a mountain!

BUBBLE5: Listen,
BUBBLE6: I really didn't
BUBBLE7: want to do that, all right.

BUBBLE8: It's not too late for you to talk to me about this...

186:
BUBBLE1: There are plenty of things I would like to ask...
BUBBLE2: !?

BUBBLE3: A millstone?
BUBBLE4: That reminds me, why are you carrying that around?

BUBBLE5: !

BUBBLE6: The millstone moved on its own...

BUBBLE7: I've unlaced some of the thread, but now there's no point, huh?
BUBBLE8: Let's just dissovlve it.

BUBBLE9: Hmm...

187:
BUBBLE1: Kyaaa!
BUBBLE2: !!?

BUBBLE3: What the hell's that?!

BUBBLE4: Musashimaru~!

BUBBLE5: KOTORI!!

BUBBLE6: Damn.

BUBBLE7: Yumi!
BUBBLE8: Even if its a little bit, let me transform!
BUBBLE9: Hurry!

188:
BUBBLE1: Bwahahaha!
BUBBLE2: Fool!
BUBBLE3: Do you honestly think there's anything for us to discuss!?

BUBBLE4: For the past millenium, this stone has been grinding nothing but resentment.
BUBBLE5: Kyaaaa!!
BUBBLE6: It is a mass of my hate, so to speak.

BUBBLE6: Hear it call out for human blood!

BUBBLE7: Now he's just being cocky!

189:
BUBBLE1: Hey, we've still got some thread left...
BUBBLE2: Forget it!

BUBBLE3: Move!
BUBBLE4: I'm faster!

BUBBLE4: You are too late.
BUBBLE5: Return to dust, Humans!

BUBBLE6: Kyaaa!

BUBBLE7: Damn!
BUBBLE8: Is this it...?

190:
BUBBLE1: !!?

BUBBLE2: Kyaa!

BUBBLE3: !

BUBBLE4: ...!!!

BUBBLE5: My apologies for being late.

191:

BUBBLE1: Kil...
BUBBLE2: Killed by humans...

BUBBLE3: President...!
BUBBLE4: Wha...
BUBBLE5: When did you...?

BUBBLE6: ...I don't know, either.
BUBBLE7: When did they get here...?

BUBBLE8: Is everyone all right?
BUBBLE9: Any injuries?

BUBBLE10: Are all these guys monsters or what!?

BUBBLE11: Yamato, you bastard!
BUBBLE12: Kamio-kun!

192:
BUBBLE1: Why did you kill him?

BUBBLE2: You know you didn't have to go that far!
BUBBLE3: I still had things I needed to ask him...

BUBBLE4: Explain.
BUBBLE5: Yeah, Yamato.
BUBBLE6: You know it ain't right, taking someone else's prey.
BUBBLE7: It couldn't help in that situation, Musashimaru.
BUBBLE8: What!?

BUBBLE9: ...This sucks.
BUBBLE10: Wow...

BUBBLE11: They're all really strong, huh...?
BUBBLE12: !

BUBBLE13: What's wrong, Kansuke?
BUBBLE14: Nothing!
