Text: While half asleep, Shiho shot Minamoto with a tranquilizer gun when he came to wake her.

Shiho: What do we do, Kaoru-chan!?
Kaoru: I-
Kaoru: It'll be okay. Probably.
Kaoru: He's breathing.

Shiho: But..!!
Shiho: I'm sure Minamoto-san...
Shiho: will ban carrying weapons while sleeping!!

Shiho: I can't sleep without a weapon!!
Text: Wahhhhhh!!
Feather: So it's like a security blanket or a stuffed animal?
Kaoru: At least use a model gun.

Shiho: Take him to his room.
Shiho: The tranquilizer will have made his memory fuzzy...
Shiho: so we might be able to trick him into thinking it never happened.

Shiho: And then...

Shiho: the only people who know the truth...
Text: Heh...
Shiho: will be me...
Shiho: and you two.
SFX: Jump

Kaoru: Shiho...
Kaoru: We're...
Kaoru: f-friends, right?
Shiho: What are you afraid of?
SFX: Pant pant

SFX: Sob sob
Aoi: Tim is...!!
Kaoru: Where are you!?
Kaoru: Your current location is...Mt. Fuji!?

Aoi: I don't think people should just bear with things or make others bear with things.
Aoi: All of us will fight together!
Bullet: She said that...
Bullet: but she was bearing with her fear.

06

Bullet: It's because I'm weak!!
Bullet: I was just showing off...
Bullet: and I didn't give her any relief at all.

Kaoru: Okay, we'll be right there!!
Kaoru: It should only take 7 minutes at full speed!

Shiho: Minamoto-san!? Wake up, Minamoto-san!!
SFX: Slap slap
Kaoru: Sorry. It might take 15 minutes.

07

Feather: I'll help.
Feather: I normally go along with what you say...
SFX: Vhh

SFX: Vhhn!!
Feather: for times like this!

Feather: I can't perform a teleportation all the way there right now...

Feather: It'll take 5 minutes.

Feather: Or maybe 8 minutes.
SFX: Slap slap
Kaoru: Wake the hell up!!
SFX: Slap

Tim: Gaaaahhhhhh!!
SFX: Yell

Aoi: Not good!!
Aoi: He's getting worked up!!
Bullet: He's mad like a kid who has started losing!!

Aoi: How many ESP suppressing tranquilizer bullets are left!?
Bullet: Only one!
Bullet: And they aren't made of lead, so I can't control them after firing!

10

Bullet: We either have to stop his movements or I have to get close to him.
SFX: Kachik!!

Aoi: Then leave this to me!
Aoi: I'll stop him!
SFX: Hyuh
Bullet: Roger that!!

Aoi: You did it!

SFX: Hyupah
Bullet: Are you okay, Aoi-dono!?

15

Aoi: You made that shot without using your powers.
Aoi: Way to go, Bullet!
Bullet: I wasn't the amazing one.
Aoi: You don't have to be so modest! I couldn't have stopped him alone.

Bullet: No...
Bullet: It was your strength that won out.
Bullet: The strength of your heart is Level 7, too!!

SFX: Hee hee

Aoi: That's...
Aoi: the first time someone's told me that.
Aoi: Thanks!

16

Bullet: And there's your softness that temporarily robbed Tim of his "childlike heart"!!
Bullet: Dammit!!
Aoi: Eh heh heh...

Bullet: Tim and I need to become stronger.
Bullet: That is surely...
Bullet: the reason we are alive.

Bullet: Will Tim be back to normal when he wakes up?
Aoi: I don't know.

SFX: Pah
SFX: Kyuhn
Aoi: I wasn't sure what I was going to do!!
Minamoto: What happened!?
Shiho: It looks like you only have light injuries.
Aoi: But I knew you all would come!

Margin: His determination will pay off eventually...maybe!

Bullet: Let's become stronger.
Bullet: Okay, Tim?
