Zettai Karen Children 249

I thought this was one of the best chapters in a while.

Chapter 249

01

Magi: When I transformed pencil lead into a string...
Magi: was when I first realized I could manipulate it.

Magi: I realized I could manipulate it to make a weapon...
Magi: and my power rapidly grew on the battlefield.

Magi: In order to always be able to use my power fully...
Magi: I made a habit of secretly altering the molecular structure of charcoal and storing it up.
Box: Charcoal

Magi: I become methodical and patient which led to me becoming No. 2 in PANDRA.
Magi: I was pushed this way out of necessity...
Magi: I didn't become this way by choice!!

02

Tanizaki: I bought some gyoza for the trip.
Little Mice: Yay!

Yukino: Ah.
SFX: Squirt
Text: The packet of gyoza sauce is quite troublesome.

Text: Even if you fold it in two, it will still squirt out sometimes.
SFX: Squirt
Sachio: Ah.

Naomi: Yes, it's useless.
SFX: Chop
SFX: Squirt
Naomi: No matter what you do, it's useless.

Title: 249th sense. The Six Million Dollar Man (6)

03

Hyoubu: If Minamoto fails...
Hyoubu: I get to take that kid with me.
Hyoubu: Right, senator?

Hamilton: Y-you're...!!

Mary: You're the boss of PANDRA,
Mary: Kyousuke Hyoubu!!
SFX: Blast

Hyoubu: Whoops.
SFX: Hyuh
SFX: Chop

04

Hyoubu: Girls these days are too strong-willed.
Hyoubu: Surely she knew resistance was futile, right?
SFX: Shock
Ken: Th-that's right!!

Ken: I won't oppose you!!
Ken: I'm not that stupid!!

Ken: ...is what I pretend to do.

SFX: Pull

Hyoubu: You idiot.
Hyoubu: I can use Telepathy, too.
SFX: Chop
Ken: Ahhh!!
Ken: Craaaaaaap!!

Hyoubu: Now that...
Hyoubu: those hindrances are out of the way...

05

Hyoubu: You can come on out now!

SFX: Hyupah
Aoi: Konnichiwa!!
Kaoru: Nice to meet you!
Shiho: Hi...!
Charles: Nnnnn!!!

06

Hamilton: Wh-
Hamilton: What's going on here, Mister Hyoubu!!

Aoi: What did he just say?
Hyoubu: He said he was surprised at how cute you are.
SFX: Tug
Shiho: Oh, my. Thank you, mister.
Hamilton: I don't know Japanese, but that isn't what I said!!!
Hamilton: I was surprised at the state my son is in!!!

Hyoubu: Sorry, I just didn't want you to get in the way.
Hyoubu: I understand you're worried about your brother...
Hyoubu: but I wanted you away from here.

Hyoubu: And I'll be translating everything via Telepathy from now on.
Hyoubu: So don't worry about that.
Charles: You got the size of the panels backwards!!
Charles: Make the one where you apologized to me bigger!!
Charles: And look at us when you speak!!

Kaoru: Minamoto...

07

SFX: Kiiiiihhhhhn!!

Kaoru: Can we...
Kaoru: help out?
Hyoubu: ...I don't know.

Hyoubu: Grisham is using his powers...
Hyoubu: to go deep into a high-level esper's mind.
Hyoubu: It could be dangerous if he became unbalanced.

08

Hyoubu: If he messes up, all 4 of them could become mentally crippled.
Hamilton: What...!?

Shiho: Don't worry, mister.
Aoi: Yeah.
Aoi: Minamoto-han will do something about this!

Hamilton: Are those girls the Japanese esper team!?
Hamilton: Or are they on your side!?
Hyoubu: They're not on my side.
Hyoubu: Not yet anyway.

Hyoubu: An esper is already in dangerous standing in a society of Normals.
Hyoubu: I brought them here to show them that.
Hyoubu: I let them come into contact with you because you know that well.

09

Charles: Father,
Charles: did you make a deal with him!?
Hamilton: The country was beginning preparations to abandon Adam!
Hamilton: I had no choice as a father!

Hyoubu: It's an honor that the leader of the Comerican espers decided to rely on me.
Hyoubu: I'm glad that you see us...
Hyoubu: as the final fortress protecting espers instead of a mere criminal organization.

Hyoubu: Anyone would think that espers don't have it fair.
Hyoubu: Their only options are to be a tool of the government or a criminal.
Hyoubu: Isn't that right?
Kaoru: That's...
Aoi: But...!

10

Kaoru: If we can live alongside and get along with everyone...
Kaoru: and also use our power to help Normals...
Kaoru: that would be best!!

Shiho: That's what...
Shiho: Minamoto-san taught us!!

Aoi: That's right! At the very least...
Aoi: WE would be happy with that!!

Hyoubu: Did you hear that, Minamoto?
Hyoubu: They trust you quite a bit.

Hyoubu: You need to do your best...
Hyoubu: to live up to their expectations.

Hyoubu: But eventually you will be faced with a situation you can't deal with.

11

Hyoubu: That won't be today, will it?
Hyoubu: Because if it is...
Hyoubu: I am the only one that will be able to save that boy.

Hyoubu: Once that time comes, you and the Children...
Hyoubu: will be indebted to me and PANDRA.
Hyoubu: I look forward to it.

12

SFX: Byugooooohhhh

13

Minamoto: What is this!?
Sakaki: Is this what they call a jagged heart?

Grisham: His guard is too strong to access any further.
Grisham: A memory he doesn't even want to see himself must be inside.

Grisham: I was just here to deliver you this far.
Grisham: Now it's all up to you.
Sakaki: I was just going with you this far.
Sakaki: It's up to you.
Minamoto: ...Thanks for relying me.

14

Minamoto: Adam!!
Minamoto: You can hear me, right!?
Minamoto: Open your heart!

SFX: Moving

SFX: Whoosh whoosh
Sakaki: Watch out!!

15

Grisham: Be careful! This is a rampaging Level 7 will!
Grisham: You won't get off it easy if it hits you!!

Sakaki: Should we retreat!?

Minamoto: No, I have to get in there somehow...

SFX: Gyuvahh!
Minamoto: What...?

Grisham: Use that to break in, Minamoto!!

16-17

Minamoto: Ohhh!!!

SFX: Smash

18

Shiho: Come on, Minamoto-san!
Aoi: We're with you!!

Hyoubu: Isn't that cheating?

Kaoru: This much is fine.
Kaoru: After all...
Kaoru: the four of us together are the Children!
Text: The Children are giving Minamoto their support! The strongest team will save Adam!!
