Minamoto: ...Around here.
Kaoru: That's far away!!
Aoi: Wasn't it supposed to be a near-field earthquake under Tokyo...?

Minamoto: This is technically part of Tokyo.
Minamoto: Counting the tourists, there are almost ten thousand people here.

Kaoru: Ten thousand...!
Shiho: Are they okay?

Minamoto: We can't confirm if they all are at this time.
Minamoto: It's dark and the weather isn't helping...
Minamoto: What we're most afraid of is the wet ground crumbling from the earthquake.
Kaoru: What would happen then?

08

Hotaru: This is "Double Face" from the advance reconnaissance plane!
Hotaru: As expected, there's a mudslide!

Hotaru: It's occurring intermittently on the southeast of the island.
SFX: Kihhhhn
Hotaru: From our communications with the town hall, we know that communications are down so we can't confirm everyone's safety!

SFX: Rooooar

Kashiwagi: Because of the weather, the airport can't be used...
Kashiwagi: but a refueling aircraft is on standby.
Kashiwagi: Upon arrival, all espers should disembark and help in the rescue operations.

Chief: What about the rescue escort ship?

Tanizaki: No good!!
Tanizaki: The sea is to rough to raise our speed!
SFX: Waves
Tanizaki: Naomi and the others are doing their best...
Tanizaki: but we'll have trouble getting there before dawn!

People: E-espers!!
People: Are you special espers...!?
Minamoto: Yes.
Minamoto: What other damage is there!?
Policeman: Three houses have been covered in earth and sand over there.
Policeman: And there are some older people who aren't feeling well...

Minamoto: Show us the way!
Minamoto: Kaoru, you take these people to the hospital...!
Kaoru: Roger!!

Minamoto: We're counting on you...!!
Minamoto: Aoi's Teleportation is limited in this rain.
Minamoto: The spatial noise caused by the raindrops lowers her spatial cognizance ability.

Minamoto: So for transportation we'll be relying on Kaoru's Psychokinesis.
Minamoto: But don't forget.
Minamoto: We're up against a natural disaster.

16

Minamoto: Every esper has things she can't control.
Minamoto: If you're in a situation like that...
Minamoto: your safety takes priority over mine or the island's residents!

Kaoru: ...That kind of situation won't happen!
Kaoru: I won't let it!
Kaoru: I'm...

Kaoru: the strongest esper!!
