Shiho: So...
Shiho: Why are you asking me about it?
Text above Shiho: Is there any particular reason?
Naomi: Well...
Naomi: Umm...

Aoi: There's no point in asking Shiho.
Aoi: It's better to ask those of us who have to deal with a dark character like her...

Aoi: Kidding, kidding, ow, ow, ow!!
Naomi: Because you're a Psychometer!!
Naomi: That's all!! Honest!!

Tanizaki: Sasame-kun has 3 siblings...

Minamoto: What...?
Minamoto: Hey, Kaoru!?

Kaoru: Minamoto, you suck at teaching!!
Kaoru: You suck!!
Minamoto: I-is that so!?
Minamoto: Am I really that bad...!?

04

Aoi: You don't need to worry about it, Minamoto-han!
Shiho: That's right, that's right.
Shiho: Kaoru-chan's the type that gets easily distracted around people.

Shiho: And about this part...

Minamoto: What does it mean to be a teacher!?
Minamoto: That white cloud? The blue set square?
Minamoto: Fukuzawa Yukichi-sensei...what should I do...!?

Sakaki: Because Minamoto-sensei's isn't doing too well...
Sakaki: I'll take his place.
Shiho: You certainly are confident.
Aoi: His pride as a genius was broken...

Aoi: You're such a fool, Kaoru...!!
Aoi: You're not used to studying and you've denied all help..!

Shiho: Now I just need to drug Aoi-chan and Doctor Sakaki...
Shiho: Then I'll get a private lesson...!
Shiho: I'll win!! In more ways than one!

05

SFX: Ding

Aoi: Huh?
Aoi: An email from Kaoru?

Shiho: I got one, too...?

Kaoru: No taking unfair advantages while I'm gone! Make sure to study, okay!?

Kaoru: Aoi, you can have my share of the cake.
Kaoru: In exchange take care of Shiho.

Kaoru: Shiho tosses and turns when she sleeps, so make sure she stays warm. -Kaoru

06

Shiho: K...
Shiho: Kaoru-chaaaan!!
Text between speech bubbles: Wahhhh!!
Aoi: Forgive ussss!!
Aoi: We were thinking petty things!!

Kyousuke: As I expected of you, Kaoru.
Kyousuke: You sure are kind.

07

Kaoru: They're my precious family.
Kaoru: And...

Kaoru: This'll keep them in check while I'm gone.
Momotarou: That's evil!
Kyousuke: As I expected of the Queen...!!

Kaoru: So, what do you want?
Kaoru: Are you planning something again?
Momotarou: He was creepily...
Momotarou: following a middle school girl...
Kyousuke: No...
Kyousuke: I just happened to run into you today.

Kyousuke: I was on my way back after taking care of an errand...
Kyousuke: And you happened to show up.
Momotarou: It's called stalking, you pervert!!

Kaoru: We're busy, so don't cause us any problems!
Kaoru: So what errand were you on?
Kyousuke: Ah, well, I was just...
Momotarou: Ah...
Momotarou: This is animal cruelty...!

08

Kyousuke: I was going to realtors looking to rent a room.

Kaoru: Have you started living on your own!?
Kyousuke: It's nothing as unsophisticated as that.

Momiji: See, I knew he'd be here!!
Momiji: Why aren't you at the rendezvous point!?
Kagari: Geh!! The Queen!?

Kaoru: You two...

09

Kyousuke: Since we're in the middle of a walk, wanna stop by my place?
Kyousuke: My previous invitation still stands.
Text left of Momiji: She's coming?
Text left of Kagari: She'll be coming?
Kaoru: Eh?

Kaoru: But...I'm busy right now.

Kaoru: Ah, but the very fact that I'm busy!!
Kaoru: It makes me curious!!
Kaoru: I want to do other things!!
Kaoru: No, but I have to study...

10

Kyousuke: Okay, that's enough.
Kyousuke: You can take off the blindfold.
Kyousuke: Sorry about that...
Kyousuke: but I can't let you know where this is.

Kaoru: This is your base?
Kaoru: It looks like a completely normal apartment.

Momiji: This is just the entrance.
Momiji: We use psychic powers to get in and out of the base.

11

Momiji: Thanks to you all, we can't use the old place.
Momiji: And we're renting this place under the same name.
Momiji: What a pain...!

Kaoru: Super space...!?
Kyousuke: That's right.
Kyousuke: It's a hole in space made by one of our synthetic power espers.
Kyousuke: Now we can travel long distances without a Teleporter.

Kyousuke: We have places like this set up all over the place.
Kyousuke: Now, let's go, Kaoru.

12

Kaoru: Wah.
Kyousuke: It's okay. Don't be scared.
Kyousuke: The principle's the same as Teleportation.

Kaoru: Wah wah.

13

Kaoru: Daytime...!?
Kaoru: If there's a time difference...

Kyousuke: Correct.
Kyousuke: We're not in Japan anymore.

Kyousuke: Welcome, Kaoru...!!
Kyousuke: This is our base.

14-15

Kyousuke: The "Catastrophe".

Kaoru: A ship...!!
Kaoru: It's a huge luxury cruise ship...!!
Kyousuke: Isn't it convenient that it can move?
Kyousuke: And we use our powers to shield it from being seen by radar or satellites.

16

Momiji: Geez.
Momiji: He really brought her....
Kagari: It's gonna surprise everyone...!

Kaoru: A submarine...!?
Kaoru: Is that P.A.N.D.R.A's, too...!?

Magi: Major, you're back...

SFX above Magi: Pffff!!

Yo: Oh?
Yo: What are you all doing...?

17

Magi: Majoooor!!
Magi: Come here!!
Kyousuke: What is it, Magi?
Magi: Just come here!!
SFX below Magi: Pffff

Magi: Has she joined us!?
Kyousuke: That's still to come.
Kyousuke: She'll be leaving soon.
Magi: Then you can't bring her here!

Magi: Isn't she going to tell B.A.B.E.L. about this place!?
Kyousuke: Don't worry.

Kyousuke: She's slowly beginning...
Kyousuke: to get a secret or two that she can't tell Minamoto.
Kyousuke: Well, we'll see.

Mio & Kazura: Eh?

SFX above Mio & Kazura: Pffff!!

Mio: Why are you here!?
Kaoru: Things just ended up this way...

18

Muscle: Geh!?
SFX above Muscle & Kugutsu: Pfffff
Kazura: Geez.
Kazura: Why'd he bring her here all of a sudden...?
SFX right of Setsuko: Pfff
Setsuko: Wha!?

Kaoru: I guess I'll be going!!
Kaoru: I have a test coming up, so I have to study...!!
Kyousuke: Is that so?
Kyousuke: Then sorry for keeping you.

Kyousuke: By the way, Mio.
Kyousuke: How many languages can you speak?
Mio: Umm...
Mio: 4?
Kyousuke: And how far have you gotten in math?
Mio: I'm still in the high school curriculum.

Kaoru: Eh!?

Kyousuke: We have a lot of espers here.
Kyousuke: With our "ESP Study Method"...
Kyousuke: In just five minutes...oh, that's as much as I can say.
Kaoru: N-no way. Really!?
Kaoru: How do you do it!?
Kaoru: How did you cure this idiot!?
Momiji: Ah.
Momiji: Hook, line, and sinker.
Mio: Wait a second!!
Text: Kaoru...you fell for it too easily.
