Chapter 226

01

Kaoru: Man, this has been a hot summer.
Kaoru: And I'm talking about the real world one, not the one in this manga.
SFX: Flap flap
Mio: But this is normal for summer.

Mio: And we're lucky enough to be in a country that has seasons.
Mio: You should just enjoy it and quit complaining!
Aoi: What a mature way of looking at things!!
Shiho: Are you talking down on us, Mio?

Momotarou: Kyousukeeee!!
Box: In the Antarctic
SFX: Blowing wind
SFX: Creaking

Momotarou: It's cold!! Can't we go somewhere where it actually feels like summer!?
SFX: Chatter chatter chatter
Hyoubu: Heh heh...
Hyoubu: Thinking of this was a great way of teaching them, wasn't it?

Magi: A weakness of Yo's?
Magi: Yeah, he has one.
Text: Heh heh...

Yo: Hey...stop!!
Yo: Please stooooop!!!
SFX: Squeeeeeeak!!
Yo: Gwaaaaah!!!

Kagari: T-take that, Yo-nii!!
Kagari: G-Gwa ha ha!!
SFX: Pant pant...
SFX: Tremble tremble...
Kazura: Looks like he damaged himself, too.

Margins: The Middle School OVA is receiving great praise!! Volume 22 and the Supplement compilation are selling well, too!! And an ultimate best version CD with a collection of character songs and a collection of theme songs including the OVA's main theme has been released!!!

04

Kaoru: Kyaaah! Over here!!!
Kaoru: I have something for you!!
Shiho: I guess her dirty old man side isn't going to be cured in just a day or two!
Aoi: This tank doesn't hold enough water...

Minamoto: Here, have some "Laulau".
Minamoto: It's meat and fish wrapped in leaves and steamed.

Chisato: It looks good, but...
Yuuri: we're already full!

05

Sakaki: Okay, listen up.
Sakaki: Love is the ultimate human relationship!

Sakaki: And if you don't have a lot of experience, you can't master the techniques needed to make those relationships!
Sakaki: You need to embarrass yourself a few times while you're young!
Sakaki: Go all out!!
Tim: No, thanks. I'm good.
Bullet: I'll go all out tomorrow.

Tim: Minamoto-san was paying for everything today...
Tim: so we're exhausted from going around to every attraction...
Tim: and sleepy from eating so much.

Shiho: So am I.
Aoi: Same here.
Minamoto: Heh...
Above Shiho: Burp
Above Aoi: Mumble mumble

06

Minamoto: Then why don't we head back to our rooms?
SFX: Mad
Kaoru: Ehh?
Kaoru: I want to play...

Kaoru: some...more...
SFX: Zone out...

SFX: Wobble wobble

Minamoto; Okay, let's go.
Kaoru: Uuh...
Kaoru: No, I wanna play...
Shiho: No fair. Why is it always Kaoru-chan...Zzz.

07

Sakaki: So...
Sakaki: you were trying your hardest to get them to go to sleep early?

Minamoto: I want to have nice long chat with Feather.
Minamoto: It would get too complicated if they barged in on us.

08

Sakaki: Understood.
Sakaki: I'll keep an eye on them.
Sakaki: But...will you be okay?
Minamoto: Probably.
Minamoto: And...

Minamoto: I have this just in case.

Minamoto: Okay, I'm counting on you.
Sakaki: ...What a pain.

Sakaki: That's not what I was worried about.
Sakaki: He has a soft spot for women like that.

09

SFX: Take out
Feather: Minamoto.
Feather: ...Here.

Minamoto: What the hell...!?
Minamoto: This is my credit card!
Text: Teh heh
Feather: I decided to use it.
Minamoto: What!? Can't you just change the material into whatever clothes you want!?

10

Kaoru: But then we wouldn't have the fun of taking it off.
Text: Kyaaah!
SFX: Stand up
Minamoto: You don't need to take it off!!
Minamoto: And I'm not here to discuss that!! We're supposed to be talking about the future, right!?

Feather: I guess I really can't seduce you with a fake body...
Text: Tcheh
Feather: Come to think of it, I can't even drink this.

Minamoto: We gave you that body so you could talk to us!
Minamoto: And this isn't what I want to talk about.
Minamoto: Got it?

Minamoto: What I want to talk about...
Minamoto: is the video of the future Hyoubu has!

Feather: What did you see?
Feather: What did it show!?

11

Minamoto: It was the "nightmare" you mentioned.
Minamoto: The horrible prediction I saw 3 years ago.

Minamoto: The city was enveloped in the fires of a war between Espers and Normals.
Minamoto: And "she" was on the roof of a building.

12

Minamoto: Don't move, "Queen of Catastrophe"...!!
Minamoto: No...
Minamoto: Kaoru!!

Kaoru: If you shoot me with the blaster at this range...
Kaoru: it WILL kill me.
Kaoru: Shoot, Minamoto!!

13

Kaoru: But...
Kaoru: Even if I'm gone, nothing'll change.
Kaoru: All the other Espers aren't going to stop fighting.

Feather: ...I know about that.
Feather: And I want to prevent it too.
Feather: It's just...
Feather: I can't remember where I learned about it from.

Minamoto: According to Hyoubu, there haven't been any major changes to the prediction in 3 years.
Minamoto: But you created a change.
Minamoto: That's for sure.

Feather: Oh...
Feather: How did it change?

14

Minamoto: According to our analysis, the crystallized raremetal earring you resided in...
Minamoto: matches the ones that the "Queen" wore in the video.
Minamoto: The future Kaoru had them on both ears.
Minamoto: But one of them was destroyed the other day and we have custody of the other one.

Minamoto: And in Hyoubu's video...

Momotarou: Pwah!

Momotarou: Queen! Goddess is sending a transmission!!

15

Aoi: Kaoru...!? Where are you!?
Aoi: The enemy plans to use nuclear weapons!!
Aoi: We can't stay in this city!!
Aoi: Hurry...Ah...!

Kaoru: It's...too late.
SFX: Gyuh
Kaoru: Did you know, Minamoto...?
Kaoru: I...

Minamoto: Stop...!!
SFX: Bang
Minamoto: Kaoruuuuu!!

Minamoto: In the first future, Kaoru had two earrings...
Minamoto: and Momotarou wasn't there.
Minamoto: And the earring's gone because of your arrival.

16

Minamoto: In other words, the first future was one uninfluenced by you.
Minamoto: And this one has been influenced by you.

Minamoto: Who are you?
Minamoto: Where did you come from and what are you doing!?
Minamoto: And why did you choose that form!?

Feather: Like I told you before...
SFX: Stare...
Feather: I don't really remember.

Feather: Occasionally, images of the future come to me.
Feather: But it's almost like they're flashbacks.
Feather: And every time, I hear a voice...
Feather: telling me to change that future.

Text: Ah.

17

Feather: I've been doing everything I can towards that end.
Feather: But I can't tell you what I've done.
Text: Oh, shit...
Feather: It isn't something you can know about yet.

Feather: But believe me about this...
Feather: I'm...
Feather: on your side.

Minamoto: You want me to believe that?
Minamoto: Even though I can't confirm a single thing you've explained to me?

Feather: ...That's right.

Mirage: Even if your real body isn't here...
Mirage: As long as you're conscious...

18

Feather: I must have "existed" somewhere, right?
Feather: I must have been a living human at some point.
Feather: I may be dead...
Feather: but I did exist somewhere, right?

Minamoto: That's...true.
Minamoto: But...
SFX: Stand up

Feather: Search for me,
Feather: Minamoto!
SFX: Squeeze
Feather: If you find me...I may fully come to my senses and regain my memories!!

Margin: Where do Feather's roots lie? Where is her real body?
