Chapter 245

01

Kazura: Am I imagining things or have all the guys been staring at you, Kumoi-san?
Chisato: It's because she's been so cheerful since the cultural festival.
Yuuri: H-have I?

Yuuri: But now that you mention it...
Yuuri: everything's been so much fun lately.
Yuuri: It's almost like...

Yuuri: I've been freed some something annoying.
Phone: The number you are calling cannot be used at this time.

Tim: You stepped on it and broke it!?
Aoi: I'm sorry...!!
Tim: I had a date event in "Love Master" today!!

Kaoru: Then how about you go on a date with us instead!?
Kaoru: We'll pay for a new one...
Kaoru: so let's go buy it together.

03

Grisham: Thank you for coming, Minamoto.
Grisham: I know this was rather sudden.
Box: Comerican Department of Defense

Minamoto: Yes.
Minamoto: Well...
Grisham: I was the one that recommended you to the president.
Grisham: Someone like you...No.

04

Grisham: Only you can resolve this problem.
Sakaki: What about me?
Ken: Oh, we'd like your help, too.
Ken: At any rate...

Ken: A single Level 7 has enough power to rival an aircraft carrier!
Ken: We couldn't exactly call in the Children.
Ken: Even if we are allies, if we brought them to the States...
Ken: the world's military tension would go through the roof.

Ken: Not to mention that this trouble is top secret.
Ken: We want help, but a powerful esper would stand out too much.
Mary: So you were perfect for the job!
Sakaki: Well, sorry for not standing out!!

Margin: Previously: Ever since Kaoru accidentally kissed Minamoto, she has been trying to recover her cool. And Minamoto was called to the United States of Comerica on urgent instructions directly from the president!!

05

Minamoto: I don't know if I can be of any help...
Minamoto: but I'll do my best.

Grisham: Thank you.
Grisham: Our boss will explain the situation to you.

Guard: Excellent work, colonel!
SFX: Salute
Guard: He is waiting inside!
Grisham: Good.

SFX: Knock knock
Grisham: The Liberty Bells are here.

Hamilton: Come in.

SFX: Open

06

Hamilton: Thank you for coming, gentlemen.
Hamilton: It's nice to meet you.
Hamilton: I am Senator Hamilton.

Minamoto: I'm Minamoto from the Japanese Ministry of Home Affairs Base for the Backing of-
SFX: Hyuh

07

SFX: Grab
SFX: Pah
Charles: You haven't had your security check yet.
Charles: Stay back, you Japanese!

SFX: Grab

SFX: Pull
SFX: Push

08

Sakaki: Ohh? Is this any way to treat a guest?
Sakaki: The second you try to teleport away, I may just break your arm.
SFX: Squeeze
SFX: Kyuhhn!!
Charles: A Psychometer, huh!?

Minamoto: S-stop,
Minamoto: Sakaki!!

Sakaki: We've had countless security checks on the way here.
Sakaki: You don't need to be so nervous, kid!

Guards: Let go of him!!
SFX: Open
Grisham: Stop!!

Hamilton: ...He's right.
Hamilton: The fault was with our esper.

09

Hamilton: Please forgive his rudeness.
Hamilton: High level espers are rather prideful.
Hamilton: They don't like relying on others.

Charles: But...!!
Hamilton: That's enough, Charles.

Charles: Yes, sir.

Hamilton: I hear you are the commander of an exceedingly excellent esper team,
Hamilton: Minamoto.

Minamoto: That's very kind of you to say.
Minamoto: But it's not because of my own skill.
Minamoto: It's just that those girls trust me...
Minamoto: and it allows them to exhibit their true powers.

10

Hamilton: An excellent response.
Hamilton: I had heard that Japan's Level 7's were a troublesome bunch.
Hamilton: If you have earned their trust, it sounds like we can depend on you.

Hamilton: One of this country's espers...
Hamilton: No...
Hamilton: My son needs your help.

Minamoto: Your...
Minamoto: son?

11

Hamilton: Officially, this country has seven Level 7's.
Hamilton: As you know, the level does not necessarily correspond to battle ability...

12

Hamilton: but the very existence of a top-level esper can influence the dignity of a country.
Hamilton: That they exist and that their powers can be used at any time...
Hamilton: is of utmost importance.

Hamilton: This is true...
Hamilton: even when one is actually a useless kid who refuses to behave.

Minamoto: A useless kid...?
Sakaki: I think I've heard this story before.

Hamilton: That's right.

13

Hamilton: He is a Level 7 Psychokinetic.
Hamilton: Adam Hamilton,
Hamilton: 10 years old.

Adam: ...Tch.
Adam: He's bringing someone here, isn't he!?
Adam: When will he learn...

14

Adam: that it's useless!?
SFX: Gyuhn

SFX: Tremble tremble tremble
Hamilton: O-oh, no!!

SFX: Boom

15

SFX: Kaboooom!!
SFX: Crash
SFX: Crack

Kaoru: Well...
Kaoru: I had wanted to get some distance between us...

16

Kaoru: but I didn't want him gone for an indefinite period of time!
SFX: Splash
Shiho: Hey,
Shiho: Kaoru-chan.

Shiho: By any chance...
Shiho: did something happen...
Shiho: between you and Minamoto-san?

Kaoru: N-
Kaoru: No.
Kaoru: Why?
Shiho: It's just a feeling.

17

Aoi: Eh, what!?
Aoi: What happened!?
Kaoru: I told you. Nothing happened!!
Kaoru: Y'know, I wonder what Minamoto's doing in Comerica!

Shiho: Yeah.
Shiho: He hasn't sent us an email saying he arrived yet.
Aoi: You're helping change the subject from what you brought up!?
Aoi: Are you saying not to press the matter now!?

Hyoubu: If you're worried...
Hyoubu: how about you come with me?
SFX: Kiiiihhhn

Shiho: That voice is-!!
Kaoru: Kyousuke...!?
SFX: Stand
Bottle: Mold Buster
Arrow: Weapon
SFX: Splash

18

Hyoubu: Level 7's like you...
Hyoubu: can't carelessly go overseas.
Hyoubu: And the world is militarily and economically focused there...
Hyoubu: so going to Comerica would be much too delicate a situation.
Text: The Children are going to Comerica...!?

Hyoubu: But...
Hyoubu: none of that matters if no one finds out, right?
Hyoubu: You'll be fine with me.

Kaoru: Why are you doing this for us?

Hyoubu: I was thinking...
Hyoubu: it was about time you learned about some of the things P.A.N.D.R.A does.
