Mirage: I have searched quite thoroughly...
Mirage: but I can not find it anywhere.
Mirage: Could you send a new one as soon as possible?

Father: ...I don't mind.
Father: I'll arrange it.

Father: But don't forget that it is worth more than gold.
Father: It's the proof of my love for you.

Mirage: Thank you very much,
Mirage: father.

Father: Is there anything else you need to report?

Mirage: About...
Mirage: "Yuuri"...

Father: you have to check whether it truly can't lay any more eggs...

13

Kaoru: Ah.
Kaoru: His summer just ended.
Text above cicada: I have no regrets from my life.

Text right of Kaoru: Amen
Aoi: That always seems to happen without you noticing it.

Minamoto: I'll take you on a trip within the country!
Kaoru: C'mon, Minamoto...
Kaoru: At this rate, our summer's gonna be over, too!

Shiho: He's been holed up in the lab analyzing something...
Shiho: He's busy because of something from that incident the other day.
Kaoru: He forgot!! He definitely forgot about his promise!!

14

Aoi: Isn't it because you've been so persistently teasing him?
Kaoru: I have?
Kaoru: When?

Aoi: Well...
Minamoto: Naomi-chan shared some of her watermelon with us.

Minamoto: It's been hot this year, so it will have more sugar and taste better.
Aoi: You're right.
Aoi: It's so sweet!!

Kaoru: I wonder if...
Kaoru: a kiss is as sweet as this?

15

Minamoto: Ah...That's right...!!
Minamoto: I-I'm going to be a little late tonight...
Shiho: Eh? Again!?
Aoi: You're not cheating on us, are you!?
Minamoto: You idiot. I'm doing my job!

Kaoru: But you kiss the enemy while doing your job.

Minamoto: U-umm...

Minamoto: I'll be at a good point to take a break before long...
Minamoto: So after that, I'll take you somewhere to have fun.

Kaoru: Will that be with the government's money?
Text right of Minamoto: Ee!!

16

Kaoru: With how the chief is, you could get us in a resort somewhere...
Kaoru: Or granny's holiday house.
Kaoru: Just...

Kaoru: Something different, I guess...
Kaoru: There's something I'm not...
Kaoru: satisfied with.

Kaoru: I...said those things...?
Shiho: You didn't realize it!!
Aoi: That's scary...!
Aoi: Is she better at women's techniques than Shiho!?

Kaoru: No, I'm not!!
Aoi: Then picture Minamoto-han's kiss scene in your head.

17

Kaoru: No way. Really?
Aoi: See?
Shiho: You've really been scaring Minamoto-san.

Minamoto: So what I ended up doing...
Minamoto: was letting the director take over the analysis and investigation.

Minamoto: So now we can go on a trip just like I promised!
Minamoto: And I'm paying of course!

SFX: *glance*

18

Shiho: Yaay.
Aoi: I'm so happy.
Kaoru: The fact that we're not going on the trip alone is the best part.

Naomi: The...
Naomi: The scenery is really nice...
Naomi: Right, everyone...!?
Barrett: For some reason...

Barrett: I think coming along was a bad idea...
Tim: Minamoto-saaaaan!!

Sakaki: The more people come along, the happier The Children will be, you said...
Sakaki: That's Minamoto for you...!
Text right of Sakaki's bubble: Ah ha ha ha ha
Minamoto: H...
Minamoto: Huuuuhhh?

Box: This is where the true hell begins...! -Minamoto
Box: To be continued.
