Narrator: Originally, Naomi was a Level 4 or 5 esper.
Narrator: Under Supervisor Tanizaki's guidance, she grew to Level 6.

Tanizaki: Your true power is stronger than this!
Tanizaki: Release all of the power sleeping within you!
Tanizaki: Believe in me!!
Naomi: Yes, supervisor!!

Naomi: What is this...?
Naomi: There's a...
Naomi: violent power welling up in my chest...!?

Naomi: Doryaaaah!!
Narrator: In that instant the Special Esper "Kitty Cat" was born.
Tanizaki: Ohh!!
Tanizaki: As expected of my Naomi!!

Mary: Colonel, have you heard this!?
Text above Ken: Yay!!
Ken: In Japan, there's a custom known as the "Otoshidama"!!

Mary: To celebrate the New Year, superiors give out money to those under them!!
Ken: Give it to me!
Ken: Trick or treat!?
Grisham: You're pretty knowledgeable.
Grisham: But have you heard this?

Title: 157th sense. I'm Going Home (6)

Text: That's right, the four of them are a team. They have been one and will be one...

03

Chief: We predicted a terrorist attack by "P.A.N.D.R.A"...
Chief: and immediately headed to the scene.

Chief: We protected the civilians with all our ability.
Chief: It's wonderful that no one was injured.

Chief: B.A.B.E.L. intends to continue to protect the safety of the general populace using psychic powers.
Minamoto's mom: So that was a criminal esper organization...
Minamoto's mom: It's good thing everyone came.
Text left of Minamoto's mom: How scary.
Sakaki: Well, he is distorting the truth quite a bit.

04

Yarite: At any rate...

Yarite: The marriage interview I set up turned into a psychic battle!!
Yarite: And those two weren't even serious about the interview...!?
Yarite: Damn them... Damn theeeeeem...!!
Shiho: Don't get so angry, Yarite-san.

Shiho: One of Nanako-san's relatives asked you to set this up...
Shiho: And Nanako-san intended to refuse.

Shiho: But she saw that Minamoto-san was one of the candidates you chose...
Shiho: and she wanted to meet with him.

05

Nanako: It would be awkward to go out of my way to contact him...
Nanako: but having a marriage interview with Minamoto-kun...
Nanako: That could be fun.

Nanako: And I can talk with him while I'm at it.

Yarite: What did she want to talk with him about?
Shiho: I'm...
Shiho: not really sure if I should say.

Minamoto's mom: If it's something we can hear, we can just ask Kou-chan later.

Minamoto's mom: What's important is that you three came.
Minamoto's mom: I'm so happy!
Minamoto's mom: My goodness, you're so cute!!
Kaoru: Eh heh heh.

06

Minamoto's mom: Will one of you please marry him?
Minamoto's mom: All of you if you can!!
Text left of Minamoto's mom: Okay!?
Shiho: Is that really okay!?
Aoi: Mom!!

Kaoru: Torte...?

07

Minamoto: Hey...!!
Minamoto: I just got...

Aoi: Welcome home, honey!!
Minamoto: Back!?

Aoi: Geez!! Couldn't you at least email me when you think you'll get back!?
Aoi: You can't just ignore mom when you go back home!
Text above Aoi: Geez.
Minamoto: Why are you acting like we're that close!? Is there something wrong with you!?

Shiho: Why are you monopolizing him?
Aoi: Aah!

08

Aoi: It's fine, because mom has approved of us!!
Aoi: Are you trying to pick a fight, you black-hearted Psychometer!!
Shiho: Aren't you just calling me names!?
Shiho: That's why Teleporters are...!!
Minamoto: ...Huh?
Minamoto: Where's Kaoru?

Kaoru: Welcome back.
Minamoto's mom: Are you done talking with Wakayama-san?

Minamoto: Ah, yeah.
Minamoto: I thought we'd talk while eating.

Minamoto's mom: Ohh...
Minamoto's mom: Are you making something full of love again!?

Minamoto's mom: Your mother loves your cooking, Kou-chan!!
Minamoto's mom: I want to marry you!!
Minamoto: Um, y'know...
Children: Are we competing with her, too!!?

09

Kaoru: Nanako-san...
Kaoru: has a lover...!?

Minamoto: Yeah.
Minamoto: She didn't seem to want to talk about it, but Shiho read that and we started talking from there.
Minamoto: She hasn't even told her family yet...
Minamoto: But he proposed to her.
Text above Sakaki: Ah, this meat...!?
Yarite: Damn heeeeer...!!

Nanako: So...

10

Nanako: I decided I would talk to you about this.
Minamoto: Was it really necessary to get my advice?
Minamoto: You love him, right?

Nanako: That's true, but...
Nanako: I guess I wanted to do this one last time.
Nanako: You came because you remembered my promise, right?

Minamoto: Well, it wasn't really a promise...
Minamoto: But yeah.

Nanako: If I have no one else to rely on...
Minamoto: But I thought it would be about something more serious.

Nanako: I prefer it this way.

11

Nanako: If we met and I was truly troubled...
Nanako: I would regret not being nicer to you when we were kids.
Minamoto: Eh?

Nanako: I just wanted to have closure on my awkward first love before getting married.
Nanako: And, Minamoto-kun, you didn't realize it at all!
Nanako: You shouldn't make girls feel that way.

Minamoto: Ah...

Minamoto: I-I hope you'll be happy!!
Minamoto: Nanako-chan!

12

Nanako: ...I will!

Minamoto: If you had read that, you should have told me.
Minamoto: I didn't know how to respond!
Shiho: I thought you should hear it from her.
Shiho: A good esper knows what she's doing.
Sakaki: There's no way that's the only reason.
Kaoru: She was teasing him.

Minamoto: Is there...
Minamoto: anything I still need to tell you?

Minamoto: I know.
Minamoto: My mom sucks at cooking.
Minamoto: So my grandmother that lived with us made the meals...

Minamoto: When my grandmother was hospitalized...
Minamoto: I started learning to cook.
Minamoto's mom: Having a genius is so convenient.

13

Minamoto: My dad had work and my mom had to look after my grandmother.
Minamoto: So I went to Comerica alone and stayed in the student dorms for a while.
Minamoto: You already know that I meat Sakaki and Carrie shortly before I came back to Japan.

Minamoto: My grandmother died 5 years ago...
Minamoto: and my dad is on a business trip, so you'll have to meet him some other time.
Kaoru: That's enough.

Kaoru: You don't need to tell it to us all at once.
Kaoru: Because...
Aoi: We'll always be a team, right?

Shiho: That's right, that's right.
Shiho: And if I need to, I can just read it.

Minamoto: Is what she's thinking.
Shiho: Ah, heeeey!!
Minamoto: Please ask me before reading it.

Kaoru: That's right.
Kaoru: We'll always be a team.

14

Kaoru: It doesn't matter if there are things about Minamoto I don't know.
Kaoru: If I'm with him...
Kaoru: What I know will continue to grow.

Kaoru: But...
Kaoru: What is this?
Kaoru: Something's...definitely weird.

Yarite: Geez.
Yarite: Today was a big waste.
Yarite: But...

Yarite: I did get one thing!
Minamoto's mom: What's that?

Yarite: Heh heh heh...!!
Yarite: My next target to set up a marriage interview for!

15

Kashiwagi: Achoo!

Fujiko: What is it? A cold?
Fujiko: You're not young anymore, so you need to be careful.
Kashiwagi: Director, I don't want to hear that from you!

Minamoto's mom: That...
Minamoto's mom: Sounds fun!!
Yarite: You will be my successor!!
Yarite: If we join forces, we will be invincible!!
Sakaki: I-is that okay?
Minamoto: Kashiwagi-san has been overdoing things lately.
Minamoto: Let's just ignore this.

16

Kaoru: Ah.

Kaoru: Th-this is the wrong room!?
Kaoru: Huh?
Kaoru: Torte?

Kaoru: Oh...
Kaoru: We ended up spending the night and...
Kaoru: Bathroom.
Kaoru: Geez...
Kaoru: I always have to...
Kaoru: Munyah...

Kaoru: Why do I always...
Kaoru: make this exact mistake...

17

Kaoru: I'm going back, Torte.
Kaoru: Good n-

Kaoru: ight!?

Minamoto: Don't wander around in the middle of the night!
Minamoto: Just stay here, Torte...

18

Kaoru: There really is...something wrong with me!!
Kaoru: What should I do!? This is bad...!!
