Zettai Karen Children 240

Chapter 240

01

Hyoubu: I heard Momiji had plans...
Hyoubu: but where's Yo?
Magi: Do you need him for something?
Magi: Momotarou and Mio are with him so you should be able to get his location from the GPS.

Magi: In front of B.A.B.E.L. HQ!?
SFX: Beep
Magi: What is he doing there!?

Yo: I can't see through it even with psychic poweeers!
Yo: The chaos of this aaaage!!
SFX: Jaka jaka jahn

Mio: We got a lot of money.
Magi: ...Doing what?

Bullet: Ah, now for some cold tea...
Aoi: Kyah!!

Aoi: S-sorry!!
Aoi: The girls kitchen was out of milk...
SFX: Pull down
Aoi: so Shiho asked me to get some.
Aoi: I thought you'd all be asleep by now.

Aoi: F-
Aoi: Forget this happened!!!
SFX: Hyuh!

Bullet: I must be tired from playing too many bishoujo games.
Bullet: Ha ha ha.
Bullet: That kind of thing doesn't happen in reality!!
Small Text: Eh heh
Text: And he really did forget it happened.

Margin: People do not grasp the joy that is before their very eyes. But make sure you grasp Volume 24.

Bottom: Volume 24 will be released on 12/17!! Just in time for X-mas!?

03

SFX: Hyuh

SFX: Pah
Aoi: This is C-02!
Aoi: I still haven't found Minamoto-han!!

Aoi: How about you!?

04

Kaoru: C-01 here, negative!!
Kaoru: He isn't here either!

Chief: So searching the likely date spots was a bust, huh?
Kashiwagi: Then what are we going to do!?

Previously: Minamoto and Sakaki of B.A.B.E.L. have invited Momiji of P.A.N.D.R.A on a date for a mission to "get closer to her". But Momiji specified B.A.B.E.L. HQ as the location for the date!! It seems the two of them are being led around by her...

05

Nakamura: You all can use psychic powers, right!?
Nakamura: Then do something!
Chief: Psychic powers aren't magic!!
Chief: And "The Children" aren't suited for intelligence operations and secret missions!!
Chief: And yet you keep forcing them to do so!!

Shiho: I can't get any information from the items they left behind.
SFX: Kyuhn!
Shiho: It doesn't look like it was a planned trap...

Shiho: but that means it could easily just be a normal date.
Shiho: And I don't like that!
SFX: Crush!!
Nakamura & Chief: Ee!

06

Kashiwagi: We just have to wait until they contact us.
Kashiwagi: That's all we can do.
Kashiwagi: Come back, Kaoru-chan, Aoi-chan.

Kaoru: Roger that.
Kaoru: Hm?

07

Kaoru: No no no...!!
Kaoru: That just looks like something...
Kaoru: that would get Minamoto arrested, doesn't it!?

Momiji: Kouichi...!

Momiji: Where are you taking me?

08

SFX: Focused

Kaoru: Mister!! Milk!!
Kaoru: Give me some milk!! Just straight milk!
Man: Hot or iced?
Shiho: Hey!? What are you doing, Kaoru-chan!?

09

SFX: Roar roar roar
Box: B.A.B.E.L. Headquarters Super Computer Room

10

SFX: Vyubah

Momiji: Okay!
Momiji: We're in.

Minamoto: ...Hey, wait!!
Sakaki: This is...!!

Sakaki: This is our super computer room!!
Minamoto: This is the most secret part of our HQ!!
Minamoto: Couldn't you have at least chosen the second most!?
Momiji: You should really rethink the arrangement of your security equipment.
Momiji: This is where the blind spot is for the psychic wave jamming.

11

Minamoto: You could just steal as much data as you wanted!
Minamoto: How long have you-
Momiji: Let's not talk about our jobs.
Momiji: And I can't answer that regardless.

Momiji: Especially when I'm hungry!
Momiji: So, what do you think you should do?

12

SFX: Munch munch munch

Momiji: Oh!
Momiji: This is pretty good.
Momiji: Isn't this a bit much for a government office?
Momiji: It's a waste of taxes!
Sakaki: I don't want to hear that from a member of a criminal organization!

Momiji: Don't be like that.
Momiji: And I was just thinking of telling you a few things since I was in a good mood.

SFX: Grab

SFX: Click

Momiji: The routes in from outside are here, here, and here.
Momiji: But if you move this camera over here, we can't use them.

Minamoto: That information looks accurate.
Minamoto: But you sure gave it to us easily.

Momiji: And what's wrong with that?
Momiji: If the major needs to, he can always do something.
Momiji: It's not like these are secrets.

13

Momiji: Unlike B.A.B.E.L....
Momiji: P.A.N.D.R.A is more like a family than an organization.
Momiji: We have very few rules or penalties.

Sakaki: And Hyoubu's the head of the family, huh?
Minamoto: ...Isn't he more like one of the kids?

Momiji: When I was a kid...
Momiji: my home town was caught up in a civil war.

Momiji: I went to bed the same as always...

14

Momiji: and when I woke up...
Momiji: I had lost everything.

15

SFX: Vyuh...

Momiji: Ee...!!
SFX: Uuhhn!!

Momiji: Papa!!
SFX: Clatter...
Momiji: Mama...!!

SFX: Bright light

Men: There's a survivor!
Men: A child is still alive!
SFX: Bah bah bah bah
Men: She's an esper!!
Men: There's no other way she could be unharmed!!

16

Men: If she's an enemy esper, killing her will be no problem even if she is a civilian!!
Men: We may have bombed the wrong target, but we can take this chance to take her out!!

Magi: Stand back!!
SFX: Appear

SFX: Byubah
Magi: Take this!!!

17

Momiji: From that day on...

Momiji: we were family.

18

SFX: Place
Feather: So does that mean...

Feather: your fellow P.A.N.D.R.A members are off limits for love?
Feather: Since you're family?
SFX: Shock
Minamoto: F-
Minamoto: Feather!!

Minamoto: What are you doing here!!?
SFX: Lean on
Feather: I just happened to be here.
Feather: Am I interrupting?
Text: An intrusion by Feather who is in love with Minamoto!?

Momiji: Feather...!
SFX: Smile
Momiji: Ha hahhn. I see!
