Chapter 237

01

Kaoru: What about you, doctor!?
Aoi: Did you see our play!?
Sakaki: U-uh, yeah, I did!

Shiho: Then how did it end?
SFX: Guilt
Sakaki: Eh?
Sakaki: W-well...

Sakaki: Psychometry!
SFX: Kyuhn!!

Sakaki: "The nightingale's soul...
Sakaki: was inside a village girl, Sakaki!"
Kaoru: Ventriloquism!?

Hanzo: You have offered to protect Yuuri-sama and us...
Hanzo: and I accept your offer.
Hanzo: But I am a samurai!!

Hanzo: My honor requires me to perform harakiri!!!
Nai: Hanzo, no!!
SFX: Pull out
Momiji: Wow.
Momiji: He's both an idiot AND a pain in the ass!

Hyoubu: What a man you are!
Hyoubu: You are a true samurai!
SFX: Pat

Hyoubu: Will you...
Text: Heh heh heh...
Hyoubu: use that life to make me the ruler of all?
Hanzo: M-my lord!!
Other 3: Now this is where the major show's his true worth!!!

Margin: This tells what happened after the festival!! And the actual chapter starts a new story!!

Bottom: In celebration of passing 5 million sales with the release of Volume 23, you can get a cell phone background & character-voice ring tone!!

02

Text: Absolute temptation...?
Title: 237th sense. A Scandal With Her!! (1)
Below that: A new story begins!!
Bottom: Shiina Takashi

03

Box: Robietian Embassy

Momiji: Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Momiji: Ambassador Okamanov is waiting for you.

04

Nakamura: Let's go.
SFX: Tighten
Man: Yes, sir!!

Nakamura: Ambassador Okamanov is a formidable enemy.
Nakamura: Ever since he became the ambassador to Japan...
Nakamura: he has forced us into negotiations that are entirely disadvantageous to Japan.

Nakamura: We have to make sure to get Robiet to give in this time!
Nakamura: We have to be strong!!
Man: Yes, Undersecretary Nakamura!!

Box: Previously: Yuuri has had her esper personality sealed by Hyoubu leaving her as a mere middle schooler. For now, is this a happy ending much like the one in The Children and the other's play? The festival is over and everyday life returns.

05

SFX: Rumble

Muscle: Oh, Nakamura-chan. Long time no see.
Muscle: Is he your new boy?

Muscle: Hee hee...
Muscle: He's so cute!!

Nakamura: Eee!!

06

Box: The Japanese government...
Man: We give in!!
Man: We give in, so please don't do anything to me!!
Nakamura: Ah, no, you idiot!!
Text: Noooooo!!
Box: was forced into giving in again.

Chisato: And then....
Chisato: Akashi-san was still out looking for the bento and there was no sign of her coming back.
Yuuri: Even though it was raining?
Yuuri: What happened...

Yuuri: then!?
SFX: Slip

07

Yuuri: Kyah...
SFX: Wobble

Chisato: Yuuri-chan!!
SFX: Reach out
Chisato: Wha...!!

Chisato & Yuuri: Kyaaaah!!
SFX: Wham crash

Yuuri: Ow ow ow...

Kagari: Are you okay?
Text: Ah

08

Yuuri: Hino-kun...!!

Kagari: I'm glad we happened to be passing by down below.
Kagari: You can be a bit slow sometimes, so be careful.

Yuuri: Okay.
Yuuri: Sorry about that and thanks.
Yuuri: Are you okay?
Kagari: Yeah.
Kagari: Touno, Hanai, how are...

Yuuri: you...
Kagari: two?

09

SFX: Pull away

Chisato: N-no, that was...
Text: Waaah
Touno: just an accident and a coincidence!!
Text: Waaah
Kagari: W-well, yeah, I guess it was...
Kagari: but are you two okay?

10

Chisato: We're perfectly fine!!
Chisato: I mean...nothing happened!!
Touno: Don't tell anyone about this, okay!?
Touno: It was just an accident!!
Kagari: O-okay.
Kagari: Sure.

Chisato: Ah.

11

Kaoru: Well?

Kaoru: How was it!?
Shiho: How was your first kiss?

12

Touno: Damn it, Tsukushi!!
SFX: Mad!!
Mio: I didn't tell anyone I didn't trust, so it's fine.
SFX: Bam bam
Patty: What I want to know is why you two were walking together!!
Aoi: So does your first love really taste like lemons?
Text: Kyaah!
Kaoru: Why would Touno taste like lemons?
Chisato: W-we just bumped into each other!!

Mio: You look like a bunch of idiots getting so worked up over a kiss.
Mio: You're all just a bunch of kids!
SFX: Hmph
Kaoru: Oh, that's someone who grew up overseas for you.

Mio: The thing about a kiss is...

Mio: I guess you could say...
Mio: it's soft like a marshmallow.
Text: Tee hee
Kaoru: Never mind.
Kaoru: You're clearly bluffing.

13

Kaoru: Ahh....
Kaoru: A kiss, huh?
Kaoru: I guess we are getting to that age, aren't we?
Text: Ohhh
Chisato: It wasn't a kiss!!

Chisato: I promise you, today was just an accident!
Text: Geez!!
Aoi: Only today!?
Shiho: Well, it's actually a good thing it was an accident.

Shiho: A first-year middle school couple kissing at school would be a problem.
Shiho: It could easily become a scandal.
Text: A scandal!!
Kaoru: I see. So it's actually much more juicy a situation because it was an accident!

Touno: I give up. I should probably just not saying anything else.

Chisato: We're just making things worse.

14

Aoi: A scandal...huh?

Aoi: So I guess it would be bad...
Aoi: in our case, too.
Shiho: Well, it certainly wouldn't be good.
Shiho: And it would be even worse for Minamoto-san.

Aoi: Then that really was a close one!!
Kaoru: ...Yeah.
Kaoru: That was a close one.
Shiho: It would be better if no one found out about those things.

15

Minamoto: You can't forget about what society thinks!!
Minamoto: Don't tease the adults!!

Kaoru: Well, I don't think Minamoto would let his guard down that easily...
Kaoru: But...Oh!!
Text: Ah!

Kaoru: This kind of accident could easily have already happened!!
Kaoru: This kind of situation has occurred countless times!!
Box: <Example> Alone together in the depths of the sea.
SFX: Bubble bubble bubble
Kaoru: I'm so cold...Minamoto.
Minamoto: Stay with me!! I'll warm you up.
Minamoto: Ah!!

16

Minamoto: Oh, no!!
Minamoto: Her breath is growing shallow!
Minamoto: I have to perform mouth-to-mouth!!
Kaoru: Hahhhn

Minamoto: These are unforeseen circumstances, so I have no choice!!
Minamoto: I'll bring you back with my love, Kaoru!!
Kaoru: Ah...no. Not so rough...

Minamoto: Keep this a secret from everyone else!!
Kaoru: Okay!!
Kaoru: ...Ah!!

17

Kaoru: No!!
Kaoru: That's not what I meant!!
Text: Kyaah Waah
Kaoru: My feelings are more like...!!
Aoi: Wh-what!?
SFX: Shock
Shiho: I have a feeling if I read her mind now, our friendship would fall apart.

Chief: Eh?
Chief: Tempt...him!?

Nakamura: Yes!!
Nakamura: We need to find his weakness somehow!!
Nakamura: That's the only way we can defeat that ambassador!!

Nakamura: He's an esper, right!?
Nakamura: So that means this is your department!!
Chief: But...
Chief: Muscle's interests are...unique.

Nakamura: Then what about his secretary!?

18

Nakamura: Momiji Kanou!!
Nakamura: We think she is an esper too, but the details are unknown!
Nakamura: Go after her!!

Nakamura: I've formally requested this from the government and the higher ups have already agreed to it!
Nakamura: Use everything at your disposal to tempt this woman into joining us!!

Nakamura: And you need to use our county's strongest espers for this mission!!
Nakamura: Use The Children!!
Chief: Ehhhh?
Text: The government is asking the unreasonable!! Will The Children be dispatched!?
Box: To be continued in Issue 50
