01

Sign: Analysis Lab

Minamoto: It's definitely raremetal.
Minamoto: But...

Minamoto: I'm not finding anything else odd about it.

Chief: What does your Psychometry say?
Fujiko: I'm not finding anything either.
Fujiko: It's just...

02

Fujiko: The fact that we're not finding anything odd, is in itself odd.
Fujiko: Raremetal can record and amplify ESP waves...
Fujiko: But this...

Fujiko: seems like it's a newly dug up piece...
Fujiko: Or maybe...
Fujiko: it's like an empty shell that has had all of its contents removed.

Minamoto: Shiho came to the same conclusion as the director.
Chief: Yes.
Chief: We need to investigate this thoroughly.

Fujiko: It looks like that girl likes you...
Fujiko: How 'bout you try to seduce her?
Text above Fujiko: Ho ho ho
Minamoto: Th-that's ridiculous!!
Fujiko: Afraid of the Children, huh?

Fujiko: Actually...
Fujiko: where are the Children?
Minamoto: They went home right after their examination.

03

Minamoto: Kaoru said she had an errand to run...
Minamoto: and the other two are using this chance to prepare for the party.

Nai: Nyaah?
Yuuri: I didn't mean you, Nai...!
[TN: The verb in Japanese Yuuri was using that refers to something "not being there" is "nai".]
Yuuri: I meant the earrings.

Yuuri: I can't find my present for Kaoru-chan anywhere...!
Yuuri: What should I do...!?
Yuuri: Did you see it anywhere, Nai!?

Nai: Nyaah.

Yuuri: Now I can't go to the party...
Yuuri: Uh...

Kaoru: Yuuri-chan...?
Kaoru: What's wrong?
Kaoru: Did something happen?
Yuuri: K-Kaoru-chan!?
Yuuri: Why're you...?

Kaoru: Sorry.
Kaoru: I didn't get a response when I rang the bell, so I came in.
Kaoru: And when I got in front of your door, I heard you crying...

Yuuri: But these doors autolock.
Kaoru: I'm a Psychokinetic.
Kaoru: In apartments like this, I can easily open it from the inside.
Kaoru: I'd be in trouble if I was caught, though...

Kaoru: Because I got this email...
Kaoru: I was worried something had happened.

Kaoru: Huh?

Kaoru: Fake billing?
Kaoru: I've never seen a porn site like that!!

Kaoru: Wait...
Kaoru: Is it referring to that?
Yuuri: She has an idea?

Yuuri: I...haven't sent any emails today...
Yuuri: Because...

Yuuri: Kaoru-chan, you need to get home!
Yuuri: Didn't everyone tell you that?
Kaoru: Yeah.
Kaoru: They did.

Kaoru: But...
Kaoru: Aren't you coming to my birthday party, Yuuri-chan?
Kaoru: That's what you've all been secretly discussing, right?
Yuuri: Eh?

09

Yuuri: You knew?
Kaoru: Well...
Kaoru: The thing is...

Kaoru: I'd never forget about...
Kaoru: Shiho or Aoi's birthdays!

Yuuri: I've...
Yuuri: really been looking forward...
Yuuri: to your birthday, Kaoru-chan.

Yuuri: And...
Yuuri: I really wanted to...
Yuuri: give you the present I got for you...

Yuuri: And now it's gone...!
Yuuri: *sob*
Yuuri: Wahhhhhh!
Kaoru: Eh?

10

Kaoru: I-is that why you're crying?
Kaoru: You don't have to worry about that!!
Text above Yuuri: Wahhh!!
Yuuri: But...!!
Yuuri: But...!!
Kaoru: Calm down, calm down...!

Kaoru: Umm...
Kaoru: where's the rest of your family?
Yuuri: W-well...
Yuuri: Due to certain circumstances, I'm not living with them right now.

Yuuri: Huh...?

11

Yuuri: What's going on...?
Yuuri: I can't recall what my family looks like...!?

Kaoru: Oh...I didn't mean to pry or anything...
Kaoru: I'm not living with my family either.
Kaoru: We get along, but we're all so busy.

Kaoru: That's why my birthday party was always 2 or 3 days off.
Kaoru: But...
Kaoru: Shiho and Aoi wanted to have it on the proper day even if they had to force it.

Kaoru: As long as my friends...
Kaoru: are there...
Kaoru: I'm happy.

12

Kaoru: Yuuri-chan...you don't have to give me anything.
Kaoru: So come, okay?

Kaoru: Today's my birthday...
Kaoru: but let's all celebrate like it was our own birthday.
Kaoru: C'mon, let's go!!

Mirage: Without the earrings, this is pointless.

13

Mirage: Tell her you'll be a bit late, but you'll come later.

Yuuri: ...Understood.
Yuuri: I'll be a bit late...

Yuuri: I'll go with you...!!
Yuuri: I don't want to be late!!

Mirage: Yuuri!?
Phantom: You...!?

14

Yuuri: I love you, Kaoru-chan!!
Yuuri: I really do!!

Yuuri: Happy...
Yuuri: birthday!!

Kaoru: Wait...
Kaoru: Yuuri-chan...!?

Nai: Is this...
Nai: what the fourth Yuuri-sama wanted...?

Aoi: If it's Kaoru, the surprise is ruined.

Kaoru: If you're having a concert...
Kaoru: let me join in, too!!
Aoi: Yah!?

Chisato: Ahhh...
