145:

BUBBLE1: The popular belief is that

BUBBLE2: the survival rate for men is 45%

BUBBLE3: while the same rate for women is 70%.


BUBBLE4: Where did you get those numbers?

BUBBLE5: Some gossip piece.

BUBBLE6: Supposedly, that's the reason Narusawa only took

girls with him...


BUBBLE7: I appreciate the comfort.

BUBBLE8: I'm off.

BUBBLE9: Be careful.

SMALLBUBBLES: (joyful yelling from the crowd)

BOX1: Uh... I...


BUBBLE1: Gyawaaaaaaan!



148:

BUBBLE1: ...


BUBBLE2: Ch-Chima-san, just why I am here, exactly?

BUBBLE3: Ababa!

TEXT1: cough cough

BUBBLE4: I've got a final to study for, you know...


BUBBLE5: Help me, dad!


BUBBLE5: Didn't know you couldn't swim. Cute!

BUBBLE6: Let's get a pic to commemerate--



149:

BUBBLE1: I said, "Help me!"


BUBBLE2: Control yourselves, you two! Especially in

public.

BUBBLE3: Noo! We were a punchline! (Small text) Sorry!

BUBBLE4: Yeah.


BUBBLE5: I kinda remember...



150:

BUBBLE1: The pool?


BUBBLE2: To lure Himura Saeko into a trap and capture her!

BUBBLE3: This primitive land is way too hot~!

BUBBLE4: Let's go to the pool!


BUBBLE5: Are you serious?


BOX1: I already sent the package to Himura.


BOX2: A ticket to the pool and a letter telling her to

come.



151:

BUBBLE1: Why the pool?

TEXT1: She probably won't even come.

BUBBLE2: Even someone like me likes to have some fun

during work.

TEXT2: It doesn't matter if she comes

BUBBLE3-4: Pool!


BUBBLE5: I've got exams!

BUBBLE6: If you have to go, just go alone...

BUBBLE7: Don't be silly. You're our greatest bait!


BUBBLE8: Dad, let's go to the pool! C'mon!

BUBBLE9: Listen to me...


BUBBLE10: We don't know when 'Ai'-san or the UN army will

show up.

BUBBLE11: I need to pass this test so I can be ready--

BUBBLE12: Fufufu

BUBBLE13: Chima already has her swimsuit on.



152:

BUBBLE1: What's with that shameful appearance!

BOX1: How brazen.

BUBBLE2: As your father, I can't allow that!

BUBBLE3: While I'm studying at poolside, I'll be watching

your behavior, young lady.

BOX2: Dammit~!


BOX3: Loving one's daughter is poisonous to the body!

BOX4: Still...

BUBBLE4: Got it!?

BUBBLE5: Y-

BUBBLE6: Yes!

BOX5: The body needs poison, sometimes!

BOX6: I love brazenness!



153:

BOX1:...Maybe...

BOX2: I'm just an idiot.

BUBBLE1: I guess I should've known that it would

BUBBLE2: be hard to memorize anything under the hot sun...


BUBBLE3: Hi, Dad!

BUBBLE4: Hey.

BUBBLE5: There's no way Himura Saeko is going to come

anyway.


BUBBLE6: Agyaa!


BUBBLE7: That's too brazen.

BUBBLE8: She's sush a ditz.

BUBBLE9: Himura Saeko would be embarrassed, too...



154:

BUBBLE1: Don't be silly. She'll never come.

BUBBLE2: I don't want to hear that from you!


BUBBLE3: Did you lie about sending her that ticket?

BUBBLE4: Hey, I didn't lie. She got that ticket.


BUBBLE5: About this letter...


BUBBLE6: Let me see.

BUBBLE7: Pehaps I'll go as well.

BUBBLE8: You're looking well, Kozakura

BUBBLE9: Chief Fuwa!


BUBBLE10: Chief. *heart*


BUBBLE11: Is she really a security officer...?


BUBBLE12: Whatever! If the Chief does come here,
BUBBLE13: tell us the whereabouts of 'Ai'-san.



155:

BUBBLE1: I'd like yakisoba and one beer, please!

BUBBLE2: Comin' up.

BUBBLE3: Hey, wait a minute!


BUBBLE4: Don't try and trick me! That was suspicious!


BUBBLE5: Officers would never lie.

BUBBLE6; Don't avert your eyes!


BUBBLE7: Don't tell me...you don't know anything!?

BUBBLE8: Ah..ha ha ha...

BUBBLE9: Th-That's impossi--



156:

BUBBLE1: Whoa!

BUBBLE2: What the hell!?


BUBBLE3: Robots from Iwakami Machinery.

BUBBLE4: Huh?

BUBBLE5: This is bad. We may have walked into Himura's

trap...


BUBBLE6: What do you mean!?



157:

BUBBLE1: Run!

BUBBLE2: What!?


BUBBLE3: Gyaaa!



158:

BUBBLE1: Daaad!


BUBBLE2: Watch the shockwaves, Chima! You'll fall asleep

again!

BUBBLE3: Hmm? Oh yeaaahhh...




159:

BUBBLE1: Hii!


BUBBLE2: So, she's a sleepy ditz...

BUBBLE3: Can't tell if she's brazen or just sloppy.

BUBBLE4: It's cute, but please stop that...


BUBBLE5: Ha! Gotcha, TJ-1!


BUBBLE6: Hmm? Wha?




160:

BUBBLE1: Hiii!

BUBBLE2: Hey, watch zat...


BUBBLE3: I'll take care of anybody

BUBBLE4: who tries to bully my dad, Himura-san!


BUBBLE5: Stop, Chima!

BUBBLE6: You're the ones who called her out here!


BUBBLE7: Interesting!

BUBBLE8: I can't match your power, but my speed bests

yours!

BUBBLE9: If you think you can take me, go ahead and try!



161:

BUBBLE1: At this rate, your oh-so-precious father will get

involved in this fight, too!


BUBBLE2: I'm gonna kick your butt!

BUBBLE3: The both of you need to keep civilians out of

this!


BUBBLE4: Don't blame me for this!

BUBBLE5: You guys called me out here!


BUBBLE6: Why do you hate Chima so much!?

BUBBLE7: Didn't you both travel here with the same allies?


162:

BUBBLE1: Ichinose Chimari.


BUBBLE2: You ride Time Jumper Unit-1.

BUBBLE3: O-

BUBBLE4: Okay.


BUBBLE5: Sae, take Unit-2.


BUBBLE6: Unit-2?



163:

BUBBLE1: Udou-kun, Unit-3!

BUBBLE2: Sakaki, Unit-4!

BUBBLE3: With pleasure.


BUBBLE4: Professor!

BUBBLE5: Why can't I ride Unit-1?

BUBBLE6: We don't have time for this, Sae.

BUBBLE7: If you don't like it, stay here!


BUBBLE8: I know, but...

BUBBLE9: Why give Unit-1 to somebody you just met today?

BUBBLE10: Unit-1 was the machine you build with my dead

father--


BUBBLE11: Hurry, Sae!

BUBBLE12: The police are coming!


BUBBLE13: Dammit...



164:


BUBBLE1: Even though I'm risking myself on
BUBBLE2: this 70% survival rate for time jumping to the

past...
BUBBLE3: Dammit...

BUBBLE4: That girl's no ally of mine!!

165:
BUBBLE1: Calm down! Why're you so agitated!?
BUBBLE2: Did Chima do something wrong?
BUBBLE3: I only invited you to the pool!

BUBBLE4: SHUT UP, stupid!
BUBBLE5: I hate that nonchalant side of you!
BUBBLE6: What makes you so special!?

BUBBLE7: Special?

BUBBLE8: Chima!

166:
BUBBLE1: YEAH!
BUBBLE2: Take that, TJ-1!

BUBBLE3: Ahiiiii!

BUBBLE4: Now then! Time to get cooking!

BUBBLE5: First, I'll see her disc,
BUBBLE6: after that I'll see just how much of the first

unit's power I can recove--

167:
BUBBLE1: !?

BUBBLE2: What!? What're you--
BUBBLE3: Don't move! I'll self-destruct if you do!

BUBBLE4: Who knows how many days your recovery would take

BUBBLE5: Same goes for you, idiot!
BUBBLE6: If you think you can do it, go ahea--

168:
BUBBLE1: UWAAAAAAAH!

169:
BUBBLE1: Pwah!

BUBBLE2: Chima! Are you all right!?
BUBBLE3: Chima!

BUBBLE4: Zzzzzzz
BUBBLE5: ...

BUBBLE6: Huh?
BUBBLE7: Where did Himura run off to...?

170:
BUBBLE1: Well, whatever.
BUBBLE2: We need to get out of here before the police come.

[Book: High School Algebra 2]

BUBBLE3: This just confirms my test failure...
BUBBLE4: Chima, wake up! We gotta go!

BUBBLE5: Pikiiiiii (a startup sound, similar to a computer's)

BUBBLE6: Chi
BUBBLE7: ma?

171:
BUBBLE1: Someone was just here!
BUBBLE2: What?

BUBBLE3: Who?

BUBBLE4: Don't you mean Himura...?

BUBBLE5: What's that?
BUBBLE6: It's reacting to Chima...
BUBBLE7: no, it reacts to all Rebuilts.

BUBBLE8: To Takumu Narusawa:
BUBBLE9: We have one Time Jumper in custody.
BUBBLE10: Cease any futile resistace and quickly surrender with all other units

172:
BUBBLE1: You have 36 hours.
BUBBLE2: The location is...

BOX1: Uh oh.
BOX2: This is awful...

BUBBLE3: D-Dad!
BUBBLE4: Y-Yeah!

BUBBLE5: We have to save Himura-san!
BOX3: I think my summer is ruined!
BUBBLE6: I...
BUBBLE7: I still have finals...
