kaido: We're still not there yet?
Nendo: I said it's just a little further

-p3-
kaido: Don't tell me you're actually lost?
Nendo: I'm not lost! I'm following what the map said!
Saiki(a): What a pain
saiki(b): Being stuck with these guys again...

-p4-
1: Uhh... turn right when you pass “Pachinko Gundam Sation”...
2: Wait what kind of map were you using!?
saiki: Although, there are advantages to hanging around these two

-p5-
saiki: Because I'm hanging out with this delinquent and the social reject, no one else gets anywhere close to me
saiki: I guess calling them bodyguards would sound nicer...
right circle: Kai
left circle: Nen
top circle: Sai
sfx: Aaaaahh

-p6-
saiki: but really it's more like walking around with poop in both hands
1: Huh?

teru: …...
sfx: peek

-p5-
teru: Do you think maybe it would be okay if I came along too?
Teru: Just kidding! That might be a little too impolite of me, huh?

1: Wow...!
2: Hey, look at that!
3: Huh?
3: Woah
sfx: chatter chatter

-p2-
1: Beautiful...
2: Wow...
saiki: I was careless...

-p3-
saiki: To think we'd run into Teruhashi in a place like this...
teru: This way?
Nendo: Ah! Yeah!
Saiki: If I had only focused more attention on my telepathy...

-p4-
saiki: No, it would have still been unavoidable...
top right: Wow she's really cute...
top mid: Is she a model? An actor?
top left: She has to be a goddess...
mid: I want a strand of her hair...
bottom right: To think I'm breathing the same air as her...
bottom left: I want to stuff her and keep her in my room...
saiki(a): This area is crowded with people...
saiki(b): In a place like this, telepathy is like drowning in an ocean of voices, picking out each individual thought would be too difficult

-p5-
saiki: Still, I really should be more cautious of Teruhashi-san
saiki: Just look at Nendou

-p6-
saiki: This is a guy who usually has this hopelessly stupid face and says “Oh! Oh” all the time
nendo: Oh? Ramen Oh?
Text: Translation- Would you like to go get some ramen?
Nendo: Oh! Oh? Ramen good oh!
Text: Translation- Ramen is delicious
saiki: But in front of Teruhashi-san...

-p1-
nendo(a): How unexpected... I would have never guessed you like Ramen T... Teruhashi-san...
nendo(b): Do you often chow dow... treat yourself to ramen often?
Saiki: Who even is that

-p2-
saiki: In front of Teruhashi-san, even Nendou tries to look respectable
Nendou: Ha ha, I was sure that you preferred a more high class dining
Nendou(b): stuff like Shrimp Pilaf...
saiki: Exactly what part of Shrimp Pilaf is high class dining?

-p3-
saiki: And Kaidou, who seems bad with women, is no exception
1: Hey Kaidou-kun

-p4-
kaido: Y-Yeah!?
Sfx: flinch
teru(a): I've always wondered about this, but why are your hands always bandaged?
teru(b): They're not injured... are they?

-p5-
kaido: O...Ohh these things
kaido(a): They're kind of sealing something...
kaido(b): So my powers don't run rampant and you know... stuff...

-p6-
teru: Huh?
Tery: Powers...? Sorry... I don't really understand what you're saying...

-p8-
kaido: It's nothing!!
kaido(a): I'm not really sure why I wrapped them!!
kaido(b): I should take these off!
Sfx top: ahahahah haha

saiki: It's utterly disgusting, but this is the normal reaction
nendo: Geheh Hehehohoh....
kaido: Eheh Eheheheehee
saiki: for the people around her

-p2-
teru: Heheh...
saiki: And also...

-p3-
saiki: For Teruhashi herself
teru: They're in such high spirits it's disgusting~ But I guess it can't be helped
teru: Being able to eat with the most beautiful girl in the world, it would be weirder if their spirits weren't soaring

-p4-
teru: Yes... very weird...
teru: They're going out to eat with me... so why...

-p5-
teru: Why is he so indifferent!?
Teru: Saiki Kunio!!
sfx: Bam

-p6-
text: Geez... This is the first time I've been so humiliated!
Text: Even though we ran into each other, he won't show me this kind of reaction
text: Where's the “Ouph”! Is it not common sense that the first thing one should do when meeting me is offer one “ouph”!?
Bubble text top: example
bubble guy: Ouph...!
Saiki: What exactly is “one ouph”

-p7-
text: There's no way that my beauty can't be seen by this background character kind of guy who never stands out in class
text: There has to be some secret behind the boredom on his expressionless face...

text: With those mysterious eyes that seem like they can see through everything...
sfx: gaaaaaze
nendo: Oh? Something up with partner?
Teru: Ah!!

-p2-
1: Oh gosh that doesn't count!! I would never... with someone like him... grr!!
2: Huh? Hmmm, I was wondering if maybe he's not feeling well?
3: Partner's just always like that

-p3-
teru: A...Anyways, I don't like that attitude!

-p4-
teru: Today's the day that I'll use my good looks to make him say “ouph”!
Sfx: doooom
saiki: There you have it. Basically this is how she ended up focused on me

-p5-
saiki(a): I don't like her following us around, but I don't want to say “ouph” either
saiki(b): It's not that it's difficult, but even I have my pride
saiki: That's why I'm more troubled than usual...

-p6-
saiki: But just now, I've thought of a way to solve both problems
saiki: Unexpectedly, it might just be good luck that she ran into us today

-p8-
nendo: Ah, We've arrived. It's this ramen shop here!
Saiki: put that face away
teru: Yaay~ I was getting hungry~

saiki: That's right, Teruhashi-san's has a lot of pride, so she would never enter a place like this
black box: Saiki's plan
box1 teru: Sorry, something came up so I have to go
box1 nen: Huuh!?
box1 txt: 1- Teruhashi leaves without entering the restaurant
box2 nen: What's with her, phh. Acting all self-important
box2 kai: I guess she really is on a different level from us peasants
box2 txt: 2- On top of that, it'll lower everyone's impression of her, so there will be no need to say ouph
box3 teru: What's with those guys!
box3 teru: I can't believe them!! I give up!
box3 txt: 3- Teruhashi-san's won't come near me anymore since we hurt her pride
saiki: Afterward, we'll all follow the flow and go our separate ways

-p2-
saiki: Aside from me not saying ouph, she has no reason not to make that excuse
teru: Anyways, I'm definitely not eating in a place like this!
Saiki: Besides, it shouldn't matter to you if you end up hated by the likes of us 3

teru: Y... yeah~ This is... fine...
kaido: R-Really!? You're okay with this!?
2: Why did you have to make that stupid follow up!!

-p3-
saiki: Damn. Curse you Kaido for doing something so unnecessary...
saiki: But still, keeping up the act of the perfect girl even in a situation like this is rather impressive...

-p4-
saiki: But it only gets tougher from here now that you've lost your chance to use the “something came up” excuse
