Tim: Don't move!! Who are you!?
Minamoto: Don't shoot!
Minamoto: I'm on your side!!

Minamoto: It's me.
Minamoto: There's nothing out of the ordinary, Tim.

07

Minamoto: Wah!

SFX: Beep

SFX: Beeeep

Tim: Comparing fingerprint and retina scans!
Tim: Confirmed!
Minamoto: I guess that is important against someone like Hyoubu.
Minamoto: But...
Minamoto: No, never mind.

Tim: We aren't going to be...

Tim: beaten by P.A.N.D.R.A again!!
Tim: Barrett is working to that end as well of course!!

08

Fujiko: I'm a little worried about that, too...

Fujiko: Oh, come on. I'm the real Fujiko.

09

Tim: Confirmed!
Tim: Director!
Minamoto: You confirmed it!?
Minamoto: Really!?
Minamoto: No, never mind!

Fujiko: Take your vigilance down a notch.

Kaoru: I promise...
Kaoru: that we won't let them use their powers!
Fujiko: Since Kaoru-chan said that...
Fujiko: we just have to trust her...
Fujiko: Or else we'll have lost our faith in The Children.

Minamoto: Yes...
Minamoto: And...
Minamoto: I feel like we're being tested by Hyoubu.

Minamoto: In this situation, if they really have no evil intentions...

10

Mio: Oops.

Kagari: *yawn*

Barrett: Damn you, P.A.N.D.R.A!!
Barrett: I won't lose to you again...!!!

Minamoto: Eventually, we would make a mistake.
Minamoto: That alone is enough for him to laugh at.
Fujiko: That really pisses me off...

11

Fujiko: Okay...
Fujiko: We're backing off for now.
Fujiko: Leave the rest to The Children and us.

Men: Roger!

Soldier: Fall back!!

Men: Sir, yes, sir!!

Men: E Company regroup!!
Men: Where's B Company!!
Men: Ah, don't push!!
Men: An orderly!?
Minamoto: How many men did that overprotective chief mobilize!?

12

Minamoto: Tim and Barrett, you two relax a little.
Barrett: But...!

Minamoto: The Children can take care of themselves.
Minamoto: So don't be so tense.

Minamoto: Your mission isn't just to be guards.
Minamoto: We're also hoping you'll get used to how normal kids live by watching them.

Minamoto: P.A.N.D.R.A got there first, but you're going to be students there before long.

Tim: Really!?
Minamoto: Yes.
Minamoto: So I sincerely ask you to not accidentally shoot one of your future classmates.

Barrett: I'm...
Tim: glad about that, but...

13

Tim: Then we won't be able to watch the late night anime!
Minamoto: You can just record it!!
SFX: *tick*
Tim: But there's so much we won't be able to watch it all.
Minamoto: Do you really have to watch all of it!?

Minamoto: It's been 5 hours...!
Minamoto: I'll take over from here.
Minamoto: The Shadow Kids are to follow the director's orders and back off.

Fujiko: But...you understand, don't you, Minamoto-kun?
Fujiko: If something does happen...
Minamoto: Yes.

Minamoto: The safety of the normal students takes priority.
Minamoto: Trust in The Children and me.

14

Minamoto: If they're going to betray us, then...
Students: Math is next.
Students: Crap, isn't there a quiz!?

Mio: Now then.
Aoi: Where are you off to!?

Kazura: The bathroom.
Kazura: If you're worried you can come, too.
Shiho: That's precisely what we're going to do.

Kaoru: You don't have to worry so much.

15

Kaoru: I believe...
Kaoru: them.

Aoi: Kaoru...
Shiho: Kaoru-chan...

SFX: *drip*

Shiho: Let's go with them so you can wash your hands.
Kaoru: Eh!?
Kaoru: Huh!?

Touno: Why do girls always go to the bathroom in a group?
Kagari: Who knows.

Kagari: Patty,
Kagari: what about you?
Patty: ...I'm not going.
Patty: I just got to a good part in "Gin****".

16

Mirage: What are you going to do, "Phantom"?
Phantom: Isn't it obvious?
Phantom: I'm gonna make them cause a problem with their powers so they'll be kicked out.

Phantom: I'll use her...!

Phantom: She was originally one of my "dolls"...!
Phantom: I already know how to...
Phantom: take over her mind.

Phantom: Their...no.
Phantom: Kaoru-chan's power...
Phantom: is even now...
Phantom: protecting her...!?

Phantom: I-I'll do it tomorrow!
Phantom: No, by the end of the week...!
