Text: Is being cute not enough!?
Title: 212th sense. Toy Soldiers (1)

03

Feather: Who...
Feather: am I?
Text: With what intention does Feather reside in that raremetal...!?

Feather: Where did I come from?
Feather: ...Oh, that's right.

Box: Previously: Minamoto and the others made contact with a raremetal smuggling organization and were attacked by "Black Phantom". In a survival situation, they barely managed to escape with the help of

Hyoubu!!

04

Feather: I wanted to see everyone.
Feather: I wanted to see those girls...

Feather: and...

Feather: There's an exit.
Feather: Is it a body...?
Feather: If I reside in it, I can...

05

SFX: Umohhhn
SFX: Creak.

SFX: Shock

Feather: Disgusting!!
Feather: I can't use that!!
Feather: What's inside a person is important, but what they look like is important, too!

06

SFX: Kyuuun
Hotaru: That's...
Hotaru: what she seems to be thinking.

Hotaru: It's only a faint feeling, though...
Chief: Hmm....

Tim: How!? How is it disgusting!?
Tim: What specifically didn't she like!?

Tim: The outward appearance is perfect...
Tim: and the inside is an even higher-level than The Children's decoys!
Tim: The internal raremetal crystal is even tuned to resonate with the earring...

07

Tim: Ask her what she wants me to fix!
Hotaru: I can't do that much...
Hotaru: If I touch her any stronger than this, she'll be able to enter my body.

Chief: If we don't have a body that "Feather" likes...
Chief: we can't ask her what kind of body she would like...
Kashiwagi: It's quite the paradox.

Minamoto: So, without a body, we can't talk...
Minamoto: ...huh?
Feather: I'm sure I came here...
Feather: because you're that kind of man.

08

Sakaki: In that case, it may be a bit dangerous,
Sakaki: but we'll have to let her reside in someone temporarily.
Sakaki: I volunteer.

Chief: But then...!!
Kashiwagi: That's too dangerous!
Sakaki: She got in Minamoto and he's okay.
Sakaki: It'll be fine.

Sakaki Feather: I am "Feather".
Sakaki Feather: I love you Minamoto...!
SFX: Shock!!

Minamoto: No.
Minamoto: Absolutely not.
Hotaru: I'm feeling a strong feeling of refusal over here too.
Sakaki: Eh, why?
SFX: Shake shake

Minamoto: Most likely...
Minamoto: the outward appearance doesn't have to look like "Phantom Daughter".

09

Fujiko: I've got some...
Fujiko: advice from Masara-chan!
Chief: ...! Director!!
SFX right of Bullet: Turn
SFX: Hyupah!

Masara: Being without a body isn't all that comfortable...
Masara: so we always want a body to reside in.
Baby: Ahh
Baby: Dah
Masara: A living human is best, but we can reside inside objects too.

Masara: But if it can't talk and move, there's no point in being in it.
Kid: Mom, whad's dis!?
Kid: Whad's dis!?
Masara: And even if it can do those things, if it is too different from our own image of it, we can't sync with it.

Fujiko: ...Is what she said.
Tim: Their image...huh?
Tim: Hmm...

Tim: So even if you put in a 3D hologram...
Tim: she still has to adapt to the base decoy.
Tim: What shape should I give it...?

10

Chief: Please think of something.
Chief: If you need the opinion of a specialist, we'll arrange it.
Tim: A specialist? Who would that b-

Text right of Tim: Ah.

Fujiko: Did you think of one?
Tim: Ah...no.

Tim: There's a model genius that I respect.
Tim: And this person might be able to give us some kind of hint.
Tim: It's just...
Tim: This is a person who is wrapped in mystery and who's identity is unknown.

Sakaki: Okay.
Sakaki: I'll look into it.
SFX: Rinnng
SFX: Click
Kashiwagi: Yes, this is Kashiwagi.

Kashiwagi: It's a dispatch request from the prediction department.
Kashiwagi: The probability of change level is 7!
Kashiwagi: This is a job for The Children!

Minamoto: Yes, ma'am!!

11

SFX: Bah bah bah bah
SFX: Bah bah...

SFX: Bah bah bah
SFX: Bah bah...

Kaoru: Hmm.
Kaoru: Minamoto and the others have had it rough.

12

Kaoru: How about we just crush that earring?
Kaoru: That way it can't make a pass at Minamoto again.
Shiho: You can deal with problematic things by making them go away.
Aoi: Shiho...
Aoi: That's a dangerous way of thinking.

Minamoto: ...Don't be ridiculous.
Minamoto: She's a clue to "Black Phantom".
SFX: Open
Minamoto: And you three...

Minamoto: Ah.

13

Kaoru: Kyaaaaaah!!
SFX above chopper: Zuhn!!
SFX left of chopper: Wobble

Kaoru: Knock before going in somewhere where middle school girls are changing...!!!
SFX: Squish
Minamoto: Why aren't you done changing yet!?
Minamoto: Don't you usually do an instantaneous costume change!?

Shiho: Aoi-chan's a bit off her game.
Shiho: Right?
Aoi: The coordinates keep changing and it's a pain to modify them each time.

14

Aoi: Basically, the sizes of our bodies are changing bit by bit.
Aoi: We're just going to manually change until our growth slows down a bit...
Minamoto: I see...
Minamoto: Well, sorry.

Shiho: But you could still do it for yourself, right?
Shiho: You're not changing as much as Kaoru-chan or me.
SFX: Blush!!
Aoi: I-I'm growing up too!!
Aoi: I-I'm growing!!

Aoi: Actually, YOUR pace is what's odd!
Aoi: It's normal for THAT AREA to grow more leisurely like with me!!

Kaoru: Leisurely...huh?

SFX: Twitch

Aoi: If you have something to say, just come out and say it!!
Kaoru: It's possible that the end goal is just different...
Aoi: Don't just come out and say that!!!
Shiho: Stop it.
Minamoto: Okay, no fighting on missions!!

15

Minamoto: You're not a celebrity so size doesn't matter!
Minamoto: That kind of thing doesn't change the value of a woman.

Aoi: Really...?
SFX: Blush...

SFX: Depressed

Kaoru: I'm not eating any more rice...!!
Kaoru: I'll go without beans and milk...!!
Text above Kaoru: Kh!!
Shiho: So Minamoto-san doesn't like it if you're too grown up...huh?
Text left of Aoi: Heh hehn
Minamoto: I didn't mean it like that!!!

Minamoto: What makes a person attractive is...
Minamoto: Ah.

Minamoto: You're making fun of me, aren't you!? You're making fun of me again, aren't you!?
Shiho: Of course we are!
Kaoru: We don't care about that kind of thing!
Aoi: Well, I care about it a little.

Minamoto: Kids shouldn't make fun of adults!!
Text above Children: Kyaaaah!
Aoi: There it is!! There's his usual line!

Text above Kaoru: Tee hee
Kaoru: Well...
Kaoru: It won't be too long before you won't be able to say that anymore.

Minamoto: That's not the issue here.
SFX: Beep
Double Face: Emergency message from "Double Face" on the second helicopter!!

Double Face: We've found a suspicious person who matches the information from the prediction!!
Double Face: Special Guard!!

17

Natsuko: He's in that crowd!
Natsuko: Ah...
Natsuko: He just pulled something out.
SFX: Kihhhhhhn!!

Natsuko: A gun....!?

Minamoto: Capture him!!
Minamoto: According to the prediction, he's going fire that randomly into the crowd!!
SFX: Byuh...
Minamoto: Th...
Minamoto: This could be bad!!

18

Kaoru: Stooooop!!
SFX right of Kaoru: Pah!
SFX above criminal: Zuh

Kaoru: We made it...!!
Shiho: Wait...
Shiho: What!?

Shiho: Minamoto-san...
Shiho: This isn't a human!!
Shiho: It's a decoy...!?
Text: The criminal was a high-level decoy!? Who did this? And for what reason?

Minamoto: What...!?
