Chapter 239

01

Minamoto: I'd like to invite Col. Grisham to the restaurant tomorrow evening. Would you please ask him if he is free?
Mary: Yes, sure!

Muscle: ЛЮбовъ моя, приди ко мне Хочу,чтобы ты была мо ей
[TN: Muscle's Russian translates to something along the lines of "My lovely, come to my place and be mine."]
Minamoto: Niet!! Ло звоните,В милициЮ!!!
[TN: Minamoto's Russian translates to something along the lines of "Noo!! Someone call the police!!!"]

Aoi: He also knows German, French, Italian, and Chinese, right?
Kaoru: And he said he knows a bit of Spanish and Korean.
Shiho: He always wants to learn something new when he gets a chance.

Tanizaki: What are you doing over the long weekend?
Tanizaki: I'm gonna be near your parents' house, so how about you come with me!?
Naomi: Yeah, I don't think so.
Minamoto: A new target!!
SFX: Stare...
[TN: Tanizaki and Naomi are talking in the Fukuoka dialect of Japanese here.]

Bullet: Y-you cleaned up our rooms while we were out!!?
Aoi: Yeah, Minamoto-han helped us.

Shiho: We did a great job.
Shiho: We beautifully lined up all your figurines in special cases.
Shiho: You can hide those lewd things behind a liquid crystal glass at the flip of a switch.

Kaoru: And we took all the ero doujinshis and adult manga you had hidden under your beds...
Kaoru: and scanned them into the computer.

Kaoru: This way you can take care of your unseemly desires without anyone having to know.
Tim: But now 4 people know about it all!! And this stuff isn't unseemly!!!

Margin: A learning heart. Gathering hearts. And hearts that play with those other hearts. Don't forget to have a heart that desires Volume 24.

Bottom: Volume 24 will go on sale 12/17!! A total of 5.3 million volumes have been sold!!

Minamoto: Hey.
Minamoto: Sorry we're late.

Momiji: What did you call me out here for?
Momiji: And the guy is supposed to arrive first.
Minamoto: Yeah, sorry about that.
Minamoto: We were a bit delayed.

Momiji: Let me guess.
Momiji: That chief of yours...

Momiji: told you to wear listening devices.

Minamoto: How did you kn-...!?
Sakaki: N-no! There was an emergency medical situation I had to deal with!

05

Sakaki: And there was a bunch of red tape to deal with.
Momiji: Oh, how horrid!
Sakaki: Well, let's just leave it at that.

Nakamura: Okay, so far, so good!!
Nakamura: The conversation's going great!!
Kaoru: Is it?
Shiho: Should this guy really be a diplomat?

Chief: W-well, it's not like they can really be open with each other.
Chief: This is a date between enemies!
Nakamura: Right.

Margin: Previously: The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is having trouble with the Robietian government which has joined with P.A.N.D.R.A, so they put in a request and Minamoto and Sakaki have been given orders! Their orders are to approach the female P.A.N.D.R.A esper Momiji and get closer to her!! It seems crazy, but they called Momiji and she agreed to go on a date! What's going on!?

06

Kaoru: Being fooled by each other even though both sides know they've been lied to a hundred times before...
Kaoru: is how adult men and woman do it!!
Right of woman: Ahhn
Left of woman: I missed you.
Left of man: Sorry.
Kaoru: I've never been to one, but that must be how it works at cabaret clubs and host clubs!!
Shiho: No, the fooling clearly only goes in one direction at those places.

Kashiwagi: But it's true that...
Kashiwagi: you do find yourself thinking they're really cute even though you know they have an ulterior motive.
Chief: That's a really sinful thing to hear from you, Kashiwagi-kun!

Nakamura: How about we go...
Nakamura: for a drink after this-
SFX: Wham
Kashiwagi: Oh, come now, Nakamura-san.
Kaoru: That's taking it too far!!

07

SFX: Pop out
Feather: ...I'm surprised.
Kaoru: About what!?

Feather: I thought you three would be more jealous...
Feather: of Momiji-chan.

Kaoru: Why would we?
Kaoru: It's not like they're alone together.
Aoi: Yeah.

Feather: You have a point.
SFX: Flap
Feather: This is boring, so I'm leaving.

SFX: Hyuh
Aoi: And she insisted on coming with us.
Aoi: She just has everything her way, doesn't she?

08

Sakaki: And so...
Sakaki: I just can't agree with the way Hyoubu and P.A.N.D.R.A thinks.
Sakaki: I do intend to continue fighting you all...
Sakaki: but I think we need to come to a peaceful resolution by talking things out!

Sakaki: So I thought we'd start with...
Sakaki: deepening our friendship on a personal level and just being frank with each other.
Sakaki: We didn't have any listening devices, right?

Momiji: That's true.
Momiji: But...

09

Momiji: That truck's been following us the whole time.

Minamoto: Uuh.
Momiji: And we have its license number in our data.
Momiji: It's owned by B.A.B.E.L.!

Momiji: But that's about what I expected.
Momiji: I know you two wouldn't actually be interested in me!

10

Sakaki: Minamoto!

Minamoto: Understood!
Minamoto: Go for it, Sakaki!!

SFX: Screeeech

11

Sakaki: Road surface friction...
Sakaki: Weight, the mass of the object in motion, etc...
SFX: Kihhhhhn!!

SFX: Screeeech!!
Sakaki: For a Psychometer...
Sakaki: a machine is an extension of his body!!

12

SFX: Roooar

Momiji: Wow!!
Momiji: Nice one!!
Momiji: We'll lose them at this rate!!

Sakaki: Yeah!! Just leave it to me!!
Sakaki: I never lose when it comes to this!!

SFX: Rooooar

13

Kashiwagi: Th-they got away!!
Chief: What about the GPS!?
Kashiwagi: They've turned it off!!

Nakamura: What's going on, Chief Kiritsubo!
Chief: ...Our presence was keeping her from trusting them.

Kashiwagi: You could also say...
Kashiwagi: that this means it looked like she might actually trust them.

Aoi: So...
Aoi: Momiji-san was looking like she might give in!?
Kashiwagi: It at least means those two must have thought so.

14

Nakamura: After them!! Hurry!!
Kashiwagi: We can't!!
Nakamura: Then we'll find them some other way!
Chief: That would cause too much of a scene!!

Momiji: Well?
Momiji: Where are you taking me?

Minamoto: Wherever.
Minamoto: Tell us where you want to go.

Momiji: You don't have a plan!? How boring.
How boring. But, let's see...

15

Minamoto: Why!?
Minamoto: Why our HQ!?
Sakaki: I thought you would say the ocean or a restaurant with a nice view or something!!
Momiji: Don't you at least have a cafeteria?
Momiji: And this IS somewhere I don't usually get to go.

16

Minamoto: Fine. I'll go get you a visitor's pass.
Momiji: No.
Momiji: If you do that, they'll know I'm here.

Momiji: Y'know, I am a Teleporter.
Momiji: And I know a hole in B.A.B.E.L.'s security.

Sakaki: ...You're not gonna spy on anything, are you?
Momiji: If I was, I wouldn't have come with you.
Momiji: I'm here for fun today.

Momiji: But...
Momiji: it'll be P.A.N.D.R.A style fun.

Momiji: It'll be thrilling.
Momiji: And you'll learn about one of your weaknesses, so you actually get something out of it, right?
Minamoto: Well, I suppose...

Minamoto & Sakaki: We came to manipulate her...
Minamoto & Sakaki: but I think we're the ones that got manipulated.

17

Momiji: Okay.
Momiji: Here goes!!
Momiji: There's a spot over here that's a blind spot for the cameras and is an area where the effect of the ECM is weak!

18

Mio: ...Should we tell the major?
Yo: No...
Yo: It's Momiji-nee. She's just screwing with them.
SFX: Sneaky

Yo: And, well...
Yo: she's never had that expression around us.

Yo: She looks like she's really having fun.
