Chief: I read your report, Minamoto-kun.
Kashiwagi: Excellent work!
Minamoto: Th-thank you very much!

Minamoto: Well, I'll be going.
Chief: Wait a second.

Chief: The truth is...
Chief: the Comerican government...
Chief: had one thing they wanted me to tell you.

04

Minamoto: I'm very sorry about the fighters!!!
Minamoto: I'm truly sorry!!!
SFX: Bow bow bow
Chief: No.
Chief: They say they are prepared to hire you as a commander for a million dollars.

Minamoto: Eh!?

Sakaki: Okay.
Sakaki: Let's go home!!
SFX: Dramatic
Grisham: Are you really going back in that?
Minamoto: Sorry for having you go along with his selfishness.

05

Adam: Kouichi.
Adam: I...

Adam: I don't remember what happened back then...
Adam: but when I woke up, my heart felt refreshed.
Adam: Did you do something to me?

Minamoto: No.
Minamoto: You simply faced your own past...
Minamoto: and made a realization on your own.

Minamoto: You realized that the accident was no one's fault...
Minamoto: and that your family and friends love you.

Adam: I'm a high level esper because that is what God decided.
Adam: I won't worry about that any more.
Adam: I'll work to become a power that can help dad and the country.
Adam: But...

06

Adam: if you're with me, I can be even stronger!
Adam: Like back then.

Minamoto: Well, I did that because I thought it would help you trust me.
Minamoto: But it made them really mad, so don't do it again.
Adam: That's not what I meant!

Adam: Just like an aircraft carrier or a battleship can't be moved around frivolously...
Adam: I can't easily go between countries.
Adam: So...

Adam: So...

Minamoto: Don't worry.
Minamoto: I'll come see you again.
Minamoto: And when I do...

07

Minamoto: I'll introduce you to the Children.
Minamoto: I promise.
SFX: Tap

Ken: You could always join the Liberty Bells! We're stationed in Japan!
Mary: That's right!
Mary: A partner like you would be much better than this unreliable man!

Ken: You're the one that was taken out first!
Mary: That was due to your idiocy!!
Minamoto: What are they talking about?

SFX: Thwack
Ken: Uuh.
Mary: Pss.

08

Charles: Nothing.
Charles: The rest is classified.
Grisham: They're idiots, so don't worry about it.
Minamoto: I-
Minamoto: I see.

Minamoto: Goodbye!
Hamilton: Thank you so much, Minamoto.

Sakaki: Take care of yourself,
Sakaki: teleporter!
SFX: Slap
Charles: O-okay.

Sakaki: Rely on us adult espers...
Sakaki: instead of that criminal and you'll be fine!

Sakaki: Hyoubu...
Sakaki: You...

09

Sakaki: Tell me what you're really after.
Sakaki: What do you want from Minamoto and the Children?

10

Children: Well?
SFX: Stare...
Minamoto: Wh-
Minamoto: What?

Aoi: Don't play dumb!
Kaoru: They tried to hire you, right?
Shiho: What are you going to do?

Minamoto: Ah ha ha.
Minamoto: Isn't that obvious?
Minamoto: I turned them down.

11

SFX: Hoo

Kaoru: Why!?
Aoi: What a waste! That was a good deal!
Shiho: Concisely state your reasons!!
Minamoto: There's no real reason...
Minamoto: It's just...

Minamoto: You three are here...
Minamoto: and I lo-

12

Minamoto: Hey.
SFX: Shock
Fujiko: Kyah!!?

Feather: I-I was just asked by Fujiko-chan to...
SFX: Ah, ah
Fujiko: Ah, no fair, Feather-chan!
Fujiko: I was just asked by the Children to...

Minamoto: I'm going home!
Minamoto: I'm going to go all out and make some Japanese food for dinner!
Children: Okay.

Minamoto: Hey...

13

Minamoto: By any chance...
Minamoto: did you illegally go to Comer-..?

Children: Eh?

Minamoto: No...
Minamoto: I won't ask them.
Minamoto: I don't care whether that was an illusion or not.

Minamoto: Thank you...
Minamoto: for lending me your power!

14

Kaoru: Morning.
Minamoto: You slept in too much even for a day off.

Minamoto: Is Shiho still asleep?
Kaoru: Yeah, the jet lag...
Kaoru: Um, never mind.
Kaoru: Actually, shouldn't you be asleep because of jet lag, Minamoto?

Minamoto: Fine.
Minamoto: I'll go wake her up.
Kaoru: Where's Aoi?
Kaoru: Did she already get up?

Minamoto: Yeah, she woke up early this morning to head to her parent's house.
Minamoto: She said her little brother wasn't feeling too well again.

15

Kaoru: Is he okay!?
Minamoto: Y-
Minamoto: Yes.

Minamoto: She said it wasn't a bad fit.
Minamoto: Tim and Bullet went with her...
Minamoto: so today...

Feather: Ah!

Feather: Am I in the way?
Feather: I'll go wake up Shiho-chan.
Feather: You two have fun together.
Minamoto: No, wait! That isn't necessary!!

16

Kaoru: Go, Minamoto!!
Minamoto: O-okay!!

Feather: What?
Feather: You two haven't had a good talk since that incident, right?
Feather: I think you need some time to do that.

Kaoru: I-it's fine!!

Kaoru: We said the four of us are a team.
Kaoru: And yet...
Kaoru: there are things the two of us can't say to each other.

17

Kaoru: And we used to be able to talk about every little thing.

Feather: I see...
Feather: That's right...

SFX: Roooar

18

Aoi: C'mon!!
Aoi: What is this!?
SFX: Rooooar
Aoi: Don't you have anything else to escort me in!?

Aoi: I'd be faster on my own!!
Bullet: Yeah, but this is our job.

Bullet: Right, Tim!?

Tim: Eh?
Tim: R-right!

SFX: Throb...!
Tim: What's with...
Tim: this headache!?
