Zettai Karen Children 158

Chapter 158

01

Yuuri: Yes.
Yuuri: I'm doing fine.
Yuuri: I'm about to go to school.

Yuuri: I know it's sudden, but could you increase my allowance a little?
Yuuri: Yes.
Yuuri: Things in Japan are fairly expensive.
Yuuri: I need money in order to keep my "friends".

Yuuri: I hate to ask, but...
Yuuri: is this a four panel comic?

Yuuri: That's true...
Yuuri: It'll be revealed eventually, but to reveal it in the comic would be a bit...
Yuuri: "Quit talking"?
Yuuri: Then I'll be going, Black...I mean, father.

Kaoru: Maybe I should start a diary.
Kaoru: It would be befitting of a teenage girl...
Kaoru: but I'd died of embarrassment if someone saw it.

Kaoru: If you unlock and open the drawer...
Kaoru: you'll find a hidden diary!!
Kaoru: But that's actually a fake!!

Kaoru: The real one is down below the fake bottom!!
Kaoru: You have to open it using a special process...
Kaoru: And if you force it, it'll light the gas and burn the whole thing to ashes...!!

Kaoru: I'll put my porn magazines in there, too.
Kaoru: Huh? I have this many?
Text right of Kaoru: There we go.
Aoi: She said it all out loud...
Shiho: I could read it without opening it if I wanted to...
Shiho: And this isn't an idea a maiden would come up with.

Woman: Oh, Ookama-san, good evening.
Text right of Muscle: Hi
Muscle: Good evening.
Muscle: Are you getting back from work?

Woman: Yes.
Woman: You, too, Ookama-san?
Muscle: That's right.
Muscle: The recession is making things difficult, isn't it?

Muscle: Girls need to be careful when coming home late.
Muscle: Some weird old man was following me the other day.
SFX: Beep
Muscle: It was so scary.
Woman: Ah ha ha...
Woman: Thank you.

05

Muscle: See you.
Woman: Good night.

Patty: You're really getting along with the people from this apartment,
Patty: Muscle-senpai.
Muscle: Of course I am, Patty.
Muscle: Getting along with the neighbors is important.

Muscle: I can get along with the housewives and office ladies pretty well...
Muscle: But I just don't get along with the men.
Text left of Muscle: *sigh*
Muscle: And they're the one's I'm interested in.
Patty: Do you have any requests for a location?

06

Muscle: The organization's work is going well...
Muscle: and no one should be able to figure out that I'm a criminal.
Patty: Even if you say that...
Patty: For me it's fantasy, but do you not understand how people with good taste feel?

SFX: Click

Muscle: Well, anyways, good work today.
Muscle: It went well thanks to you.
Muscle: We'll split it equally as promised!!

07

Yo: Good work...!
Yo: It looks like you got a nice amount!
Muscle: Oh, you came, Yo?

Yo: It looks like we can leave it to you to train the newcomer...!
Yo: You worked together and succeeded!
Momotarou: It's because those two have the same interests!

Muscle: She's just curious! I'm serious about it, so don't put us in the same category!
Muscle: We're not the same!
Patty: Are you saying I'm not serious...!?
Patty: Are you mocking my art, you real-life pervert!!
Momotarou: Eh!? Huh!? Why are they fighting!?

08

Chief: "P.A.N.D.R.A" is back.

Chief: That means...
Chief: the esper crimes within the country are going to increase!

Chief: For the past 2 years, they've been primarily acting overseas.
Chief: They went to the territories of criminal organizations around the world gathering funds and members.
Chief: Even though a great number of countries are watching them, they managed to grow.
Chief: We can't let them continue to do as they please!

09

Chief: So that they won't make fools of us again like the other day...
Chief: We'll focus all our attention on them!!
Minamoto: It wasn't just their actions that made fools of us.

Kashiwagi: This means that if we find out that "P.A.N.D.R.A" is involved in something...
Kashiwagi: We'll send out our top teams unconditionally.
Kashiwagi: "The Hound", "The Double Face", "The Wild Cat",
Kashiwagi: And of course...

Kashiwagi: "The Children".

Chief: We've gained more Level 6 teams...
Chief: But to fight them, we really should use those with the most experience.

10

Minamoto: But, chief.
Minamoto: From the viewpoint of properly raising them...
Minamoto: We can't send them on that many missions while they're still in middle school.

Chief: I know that.

Kashiwagi: We've strengthened the support group for "The Children".
Kashiwagi: And as a supervisor, Minamoto-san will now command multiple teams.
Kashiwagi: That way we can make more use of him.

Tanizaki: Support...?
Keiko: You're adding members beyond the "Shadows of the Children"?

Chief: That's right!
Chief: They're very reliable espers!
Chief: Come on out, "The Explorator", "The Sleeping Snow White"!!

11

Sakaki: Now I'm a special esper with a code name!
Fujiko: It'll be nice working with you, Minamoto-kun!
Box (Right): "The Explorator"
Box (Left): "The Sleeping Snow White"

Minamoto: It's a relief to have you, Sakaki!
Fujiko: What about me!? What about Fujiko!?
Minamoto: You'll just be asleep and we won't be able to wake you!!

Fujiko: It can't be helped.
Fujiko: We have to prepare for the final battle that's approaching...
Fujiko: But, well...

Fujiko: I'm not all that confident I'll wake up when the time comes.
Minamoto: Y'know...

12

Sakaki: Well, even if it's in name only for the director, we're part of the team now.
Sakaki: Since you're the commander, you can use the full authority of B.A.B.E.L. when we're on missions.
Sakaki: You can mobilize any organization, government office, facility, or equipment.

Sakaki: And I have a proposition for you, commander.
Minamoto: What is it?

Sakaki: Let's not sit around waiting for them to make their move.
Sakaki: How about we go search them out?
Sakaki: That much won't keep you from properly raising those girls.

13

Shiho: Why?

14

Shiho: Why is it just me and the doctor on this mission?
Sakaki: We don't need everyone for an investigation.
Sakaki: Don't worry. I'll help you with the homework you get behind on.
Shiho: You don't have to!

Shiho: Only the two of us are needed for an investigation.
Shiho: And he can help me with my homework afterwards.
Minamoto: Don't be so selfish!

Minamoto: I think Kaoru and Aoi are going to get asked on more solo missions, too.
Minamoto: I don't want you all to be out of school for too long.
Shiho: We have the Shadow Kids.
Minamoto: That's a last resort!
Minamoto: You're supposed to be students!!

Shiho: Tch...
Shiho: I like firefights more than simple investigations and studying.
Minamoto: Don't take that out without permission!

15

Minamoto: Hyoubu and his group most likely won't put these girls in that much danger.
Minamoto: Because they're supposed to be their future leaders.
Minamoto: If Sakaki and I are with her, we shouldn't need the others.

Minamoto: Doing things this way should also give them fewer chances to contact Kaoru.
Kyousuke: One day, she will be our Queen.

Minamoto: By the way...
Minamoto: how has Kaoru been lately?
Shiho: Eh?
Shiho: Is something wrong with Kaoru-chan?

Minamoto: Well, I don't really know...
Minamoto: But she's somehow odd.
Minamoto: She hasn't been as clingy as she used to be, I guess...

16

Minamoto: And she hasn't been acting as old man-like either...
Kaoru: My lucky panties!!

Kaoru: Oh, my bad.

Sakaki: And that's making you feel lonely...?
Shiho: Minamoto-san, you pervert...!!
Shiho: And why are you talking about Kaoru-chan once we're alone together?
Minamoto: Ah, no...
Minamoto: I never said that, did I!?

Shiho: I won't read her, because she's my friend...
Shiho: But I don't think she's been in a bad mood or anything.

17

Shiho: Isn't she just acting more feminine?
Shiho: Just. Like. Me.
SFX: Foo

Minamoto: Don't blow into my ear!!

Box: Meanwhile, with Kaoru.
Kaoru: What an idiot.
Kaoru: Yuuri-chan's breasts feel more like...
Guys: They're even better!?
Guys: Give us details!!
Text above crowd: Ohhhhh!!
Touno: Tell us in a concrete, easy-to-understand way!!

Aoi: Kaoru!!
Aoi: Give this old-man thing a rest!!
Yuuri: Awww!!
Chisato: And why is Sannomiya-san over with them?

18

Sakaki: Well, we're here.
Sakaki: It's this apartment complex.
Sakaki: According to the information I found...

Sakaki: There's a clue to P.A.N.D.R.A's location here.

Sakaki: Be careful.
Sakaki: Guns won't work on P.A.N.D.R.A.
Shiho: That's for normal ones, right?
Minamoto: Ah...
Minamoto: That's my...
