Fullmetal Panic! Another


p174
Thanks for the meal!

panel: Road security, when in danger, we are here for you!

Forgive me for holding you for so long.
It's nothing.


p175
... But try to understand that the army and the police have to close this case no matter what.
I don't care about your qualms. I'm just another victim here.

Since that day, the police and the army luge me around from a place to another.
And despite that, our company won't even get refunded.

We won't cause you any trouble, don't worry!
The most important is to keep calm and prevent any leak on this case.

Shit! If only this Shimomura wasn't so stingy!


p176
Thanks for the breakfast. See you!

I need to hurry. Everyone must be working on saving what can be saved...
in order for the company to keep running.

Adelina!


p177
How are your wounds? Are you cured?

Yes.
You got a minute? Follow me.
Our president wants to meet you.

Wait, what the hell do you want again?
Do I have to remind you that I was involved in this mess because of you?

Your president, huh?
It must probably some old hag. What does she want from me?
Move from the road.

Huh?


p178-179
Wah?!

B... But...


p180
Hey!
You must be Tatsuya Ichinose, right?

But...

But...

But...


p181
What a stunning...
beauty!

I'm Melissa Mao, the president of DOMS.
I would like to apologize for the trouble caused by our Lina.

B-But... no! No!
It's okay, don't worry about it!

In her thirties? No, definitely less... And yet, what a fantastic body!

I don't like talking in the middle of the road. Get in...
I'll drive you home.
little: Hehehe
I was hoping that you asked!


p182
Waouh!
That's definitely not like our old wreck...

Shall we go?
Y-Yes!

*Farewell, Kate-sensei...
*My fourth first love have just begun!


p183
I've skimmed through your personal files.
Seems like you have a natural ability for piloting...
To pilote an AS of this generation without experience, it's awesome.

*Not only that, but you also managed to defeat the enemy.
*I'd say you are unique.

*She said I was unique!
It's no use, mature women drive me crazy!

Ichinose, I won't beat about the bush...


p184
I want you to be part of my company.

Huh?!

But... that's... It was only luck...
And since my sister was in danger, I lost my nerves and went on...
I think that's more than enough for me!


p185
Could it be that you're scared?
Well, I...

At this moment, I didn't feel...
only fear...

No.


p186
It doesn't change the fact that I'm a mere son of worker.

Working for my father is enough for me.
I don't want to play the gunman...

Our company is sure military, I'll give you that. But its main purpose is training soldiers, not actual combat.
It's different, don't you think?
...

I got it.

What if I show you that?


p187
Don't tell me this is...
The money you'll get if you join us.

I know your father's company isn't doing very well.
And I also know that you don't know when nor how you'll be refunded for your equipment.
But with this money, your father would be able to breathe for a while, right?

So?
What about a nice travel to the USA?
We'll welcome you with honor, you'll see!


p188
If it was only for summer, then maybe...
I could accept... but it doesn't change the fact I've none experience.
Let alone the fact that they will try everything to make me join them...

Dad, stop drinking! We need to save money!
Come on, Yurika! Just one swallow!

The USA, huh?


p189
Last call for the flight at destination of San Francisco.
Please proceed to the departure gates.

This is about the time of the rendezvous.

Well, well! So you came in the end...


p190
What's with your face?

I should be the one asking that! What's with this outfit?!
Excuse me?

What a beauty!
And these legs!
Such a stewardess!
The boss told me to dress like this to welcome you.

But what's with this company...


p191
So, what's with your face?

Well, to be honest...
it wasn't easy to get here...
Moron! Enlistment? No way!
Don't go! This is too dangerous!

Well, nevermind. This is a pleasure to work with you,
Lina.

Same here...

But I can see that you're getting ahead of yourself. Lina is my nickname...
Ah, err...


p192
I think I've already told you that my name is Adelina Aleksandrovna. Am I enough clear,
Tatsuya?

Why are you calling me by my first name then?!
Come on, let's go.
Hurry up.

*Sounds like fun...


p193
Tatsuya, I'd like to ask you one question...

That was your first time in an AS, right?
Tell me, what did you feel exactly?

It was awesome!


p193
*Hello, this is You Taichi.
*For starters, I'd like to thank you for having read the first volume of Fullmetal Panic! Another.

*Who could have guessed that one day, I'll be involved in FMP universe...
*Congratulation, you've been chosen.
Wh...
Wh...
What?
*It would be an euphemism to say that I was excited...

*I had to meet the three key men of this work one after another, master Gatou, Okuro and Shikidouji...
gulp
*They all made sure I feel comfortable.
gulp

*The excitation got the best of me and I began to work like a daidara.
Oh!
For that, I'll use another pencil...


p194
*I don't know if you noticed...
*Hehe, a little Bonta...
*But I introduced quite a few cameos in the series.

*Of course, there's Bonta, the ultimate mascot of FMP...
Fumoffu! (Look at Nodora-sensei's pen!)

*Or, for example, the truck of family
*Ichinose...

*There's also a caricature of Gatou (what, they don't look similar?)

*And of course, Jose...
*behind whose Okuro's hiding.

*But I won't stop there! I will keep spreading more cameos in the next volumes!
Is that so?

*So stay focused!
Hurry up and draw!
See you soon !
