01

Minamoto: Satellites don't float in the air.
Minamoto: They are continuously falling at incredible speed around the earth.

Minamoto: So when maneuvering...
Minamoto: they speed up to rise and brake to lower...
Kaoru: That sounds complicated.

Kaoru: Come to think of it, when we went to space...
Kaoru: we went up high where the air was thin and used all our powers to speed up.

Kaoru: How did you do the detailed calculations?
Text: Nn...
Hyoubu & Fujiko: Somehow or other?

Mio: I-I want to learn how to cook...
Muscle: Oh, and you're too embarrassed to ask the others?
Muscle: Fine. I can show you the basics.

SFX: Slice

SFX: Chop

Mio: You can't do it!?
Mio: Why not!?
SFX: Tremble tremble
SFX: Pant pant
Muscle: Watching that makes me fear for a certain part of my body!!

Adam: Damn it!!

SFX: Growwwl

Margin: Previously: With excellent teamwork, Minamoto & Adam shook off their Comerican military pursuers. But if the situation isn't resolved in 24 hours, Adam will be assassinated! In this emergency situation, the trump cards that have arrived in Comerica look like those 3, but...?

05

Adam: Why...
Adam: did you go along with this?
Adam: It may not sound convincing from me...

06

Adam: but helping me shake off those fighters...
Adam: was crazy!
Adam: That's not how an adult should act!

Minamoto: Phh.

Minamoto: Ah hah hah!!
Minamoto: True enough!!
Minamoto: Now that you mention it, they really have been a bad influence on me.
Text: Ha ha ha ha

Minamoto: And telling off espers...
Minamoto: who do things like that was supposed to be my job...
Text: Heh heh heh...
Adam: Is this really something to laugh about!?

Minamoto: But...

07

Minamoto: it was important for you, right?
Minamoto: You wouldn't have trusted...
Minamoto: someone who didn't take it seriously.

Minamoto: What...
Minamoto: was at that spot?
Minamoto: You could have gone there any time, so why now?

Adam: My mom...

Adam: died there.

08

Adam: When I was little...
Adam: my mom, my brother, and I got on a train to go see my dad who was out campaigning.
Adam: And...
Adam: there was an accident.

Adam: because my brother had awakened as a teleporter...
Adam: I was saved.
Adam: But my mom...

Charles: Mom!?

09

Charles: Mom!!

Adam: She had been fatally injured...
Adam: just before we were teleported out.

Adam: I later found out I was a Psychokinetic...
Adam: and have regretted it ever since.
Adam: If I had been older back then...
Adam: If I had had my power, I could have saved her.

Adam: So I trained as hard as I could.

10

Adam: My level kept rising...
Adam: and dad and the military people praised me. It made me happy.

Adam: I wanted my powers to be useful to the States!
Adam: I wanted to become an even stronger esper...
Adam: and prevent as many people from dying unfortunate deaths as I could!!

Owner: I'll shoot you and then sue you!!

Owner: I'm calling 911...

SFX: Pressure...
Owner: Hm!?

Owner: Dah!?
SFX: Wham!!

15

Sakaki: Are you okay, Minamoto!?
Minamoto: How did you all...
Minamoto: know we were here!?

Charles: Because this is where our mother died in the accident.
Charles: I knew you would be somewhere nearby.

Hamilton: Adam!?
Hamilton: Where's Adam!?

Ken: He's over there!!

16

SFX: Rumble rumble rumble

Minamoto: He's lost consciousness!
Sakaki: He's gone out of control!!

17

Minamoto: His memories of the accident were about to come back when it happened!
Minamoto: Most likely...
Minamoto: he subconsciously rejected the memories and his power exploded!

Hamilton: Get a limiter or a suppressive drug!!
Minamoto: That won't solve this!

Minamoto: While he's out of control is our chance!!
Minamoto: We need to perform a Psycho Dive into him...
Minamoto: while his mental guard is down!

Grisham: Okay, understood!!
Grisham: Come with me, Minamoto-kun!

Text: He has revealed himself to be Hyoubu! What is he after!?

Hyoubu: If Minamoto fails, I get to take that kid with me.
Hyoubu: That was what you promised, right, Senator?
