Zettai Karen Children 194

Chapter 194

01

Mirage: "Phantom" hasn't shown herself lately.
Mirage: And...
Mirage: "Yuuri" has been acting strangely.

Mirage: Even though she's a doll I created...
Mirage: at some point, without my noticing...

Text on the right: Chil
Text on the left: Vermillion

Mirage: She's gotten really into collecting anime dolls!?
Nai: Nyah?
Mirage: and there are some traces of her having carelessly and cluelessly gone into some dark store!!
Text left of Mirage: It started with a children's meal toy...

Kashiwagi: Oh, Colonel Grisham...!
Grisham: Miss Kashiwagi...?
Grisham: What a coincidence. Are you here alone?

Kashiwagi: The other women my age all have families...
Kashiwagi: so I've had a lot more opportunities to go out drinking on my own lately.
Text above Kashiwagi: Ah ha ha ha ha...
Kashiwagi: Maybe I should try having a marriage interview...just kidding.

Grisham: Have you heard this story?
Grisham: When a certain man was shot down, his compass was broken. It was useless.
Grisham: But then...

Grisham: He met someone who changed his life.
Grisham: You meet people even when you're lost. Take it as a charm.
Text above Kashiwagi: Hahh!!
Kashiwagi: Oh, no...!!
Kashiwagi: I could almost fall in love with him!!

Text in left margin: Kashiwagi-san the young beauty. And yet she's a bit of lonely. Well, it's not that I don't understand how she feels, but haven't her hurdles lately been a little too low!?

Text at the bottom: Kashiwagi-san keeps running in an unfortunate direction, but she really is a talented secretary who supports B.A.B.E.L. and she has many hidden fans (like the author)...just read

Volumes 1-18 and you'll understand!!

02

Text at top: Summer break is over and The Children are entering a new term of school!!
Text in right margin: A new term brings premonitions of new encounters. But who would have thought it would take that form...!!

Text: A new development!!

Title: 194th sense. The Mysterious Transfer Students (1)

03

Fujiko: I'm glad I had you look into this.
Fujiko: Thanks to you, I've learned all sorts of things I wouldn't have in Japan.
Box: Impalahen Kingdom (The greatest producer of raremetal)

Fujiko: ...Thank you, Masara-chan.
Fujiko: You've been a big help.

04

Masara: Come back any time you want.
Masara: And next time come back with those little girls.

Fujiko: Oh, absolutely.
Masara: Also...
Masara: make sure to watch out for...
Masara: the woman who had that earring.

Baby: Bah bah.

Fujiko: I will.
Fujiko: Don't worry.

Prince: Fujiko-san!
Prince: Are you going already?

05

Prince: You could spend some more time here relaxing...

Fujiko: Thanks, but I have work to do.
Fujiko: And I can't just ignore my own kids.
Fujiko: Also...
Baby: Bah.

Fujiko: You're still full of the desire to make your family even bigger, right?
Fujiko: I don't want to get in the way of your baby-making.
Text around Prince: Deh heh heh
Prince: Oh...
Prince: You're making me blush...

Masara: It's fine if you get in their way some.
Masara: This couple is way too into each other.
Prince: You old...I mean, grandmother.
Prince: Could you switch out with Sera already?

Masara: Okay, okay!
Masara: See ya, Fujiko-chan.

06

Sera: Ah, your Highness!!
Sera: I missed you so much!!
Prince: Oh, Sera!!
Prince: It's been 15 minutes!!

Prince: We're about to have our afternoon baby-making, so we can't see you off...
Text above Prince: Eh heh
Sera: Take care, Fujiko-sama!!
Text left of Sera: Hee hee.
Fujiko: Aren't you...
Fujiko: overdoing this?

Text in right margin: Previously: The Children went to a lake camp for summer break. There they got wrapped up in an incredible turmoil caused by a monster and were very satisfied with the fun memories they made. At the same time, Fujiko went to the Impalahen Kingdom to investigate the raremetal that was the key to the "Fourth Phantom Daughter Incident".

07

Fujiko: The raremetal in the earring is of the highest quality and is of very high purity.
Fujiko: It's size is 20 carats.
Fujiko: From looking at the records, it doesn't look like it was mined from Impalahen.

Fujiko: Well...
Fujiko: I imagine it was gotten by illegitimate means.
Fujiko: What I wanted...
Fujiko: was Masara-chan's conclusion as an esper.

08

Masara: ...Someone definitely resided in here.
Masara: And it was just one person.

Masara: I'm sure you all already noticed...
Masara: that this is "Phantom Quartz".

Masara: When a crystal that has stopped growing begins to grow again for whatever reason...
Masara: it makes a pattern inside much like tree rings.
Masara: As jewels they are valued as charms to overcome troubles and injuries...

Masara: And actually...
Masara: an esper's residual thoughts leave behind a very similar trace.
Masara: But this is the first time I've seen one so distinct.

Masara: It looks like nothing more than the remains of growth...
Masara: but since I reside in raremetal too, I can tell.

09

Masara: But that person is no longer here.
Masara: She most likely moved to that "Phantom Daughter" girl.

Fujiko: In other words...
Fujiko: we don't know if she's alive or dead...

Fujiko: but "Feather" was originally a completely different esper than "Mirage" and the others.
Fujiko: She used to reside in the earring...
Fujiko: but now she has moved over to Phantom Daughter-chan.

Masara: Exactly.
Masara: There's just one thing I'll add.
Masara: "Feather" is...

Masara: an esper that surpasses Level 7.
Masara: I've never seen this much power before.
Masara: She has power that greatly surpasses...

10

Masara: you, me, or even "The Children".

Fujiko: I wonder where she came from and what she's here to do.
Fujiko: I doubt she's one of Black Phantom's pawns...

Fujiko: But I also doubt she'd tell us if we asked her.

Fujiko: Wha...!?

11

Fujiko: Hyoubu Kyousuke!!

Kyousuke: Hey, Fujiko-san.
Kyousuke: Coming back from a business trip?

12

Box: Tokyo

Kaoru: Good morning!

Chisato: Good morning, everyone...!

13

Yuuri: How were your summer breaks?
Shiho: We all went to a camp...
Aoi: But that's about it.
Chisato: That must have been fun.
Chisato: I didn't get to go anywhere this year.

Kaoru: How about you, Yuuri-chan?
Yuuri: I didn't really do anything.
Yuuri: I just played with my cat and looked for shops that sold the dolls I'm collecting.

Kaoru: I see.
Kaoru: Well, how about those of us here go somewhere during Silver Week!?
Aoi: Oh, that's a good idea.
Shiho: But where's somewhere?

Kaoru: Well, I was thinking...
Aoi: That's enough.
Aoi: We get the idea.

Kaoru: But Chisato-chan...
Kaoru: don't you want to see a guy's treasure?
Chisato: Treasure!?
Chisato: What do you mean!?

14

Shadowy figures: Heh heh heh...
Shadowy figures: They're here...!
Shadowy figures: Hee hee...I'm sure they'll...
Shadowy figures: be scared to death!

Yuuri: What is it?
Kaoru: Nothing...
Kaoru: Just now...

15

Kaoru: I felt some kind stare full of evil intent...
Shadowy figures: Heh heh heh...
Shadowy figures: Hee hee hee...
Shadowy figures: Ah, we scared her...!

Pilot: We're above the school!
Pilot: All troops are in position!

Chief: Good!!
Chief: Everyone needs to keep an eye open!!

16

Chief: Have "The Children" arrived at school like normal?
Minamoto: Yes.
Minamoto: We can call for them at any time...
Minamoto: but we haven't told them anything yet.

Chief: Good.
Chief: We got this information 15 minutes ago...
Chief: We can't evacuate all of the students now.

Chief: Until we know what the enemy wants...
Chief: we can't let them suspect that we're here!
Kashiwagi: "The Children" would give it away with their expressions...

Minamoto: What are they planning on doing...?
Minamoto: They couldn't be taking the students as hostages in an act of terrorism, could they?
Minamoto: No...
Minamoto: I don't think he...

17

Minamoto: I don't think Hyoubu would do something like that...!

Mirage: What is this?
Mirage: I...feel something, too.

Mirage: Could someone have realized the true identity of "Yuuri"...?
Mirage: If so...
Mirage: I'll use the other students as shields and...

18

Teacher: And now that summer break is over...
Teacher: I'll introduce the transfer students.
Teacher: Okay, come on in.

Kaoru: Eh!!?

Mio: Hello!
Text: Th-the transfer students are them... Ehhhh!!

Text in bottom right: Why are P.A.N.D.R.A members becoming their classmates!?
