Nai: I am about to undergo surgery.
Nai: Hyoubu-san and the others say I will be fine...
Nai: but I may not return.

Nai: If that happens, please take care of Yuuri-sama.
Nai: And as for dealing with my body...
SFX: Shake shake

Nai: No, you cannot just assume it will not happen.
Nai: It is our job to be prepared for any possibility.

Nai: I made a gravestone out of a fish paste board.
Nai: Use my favorite canned cat food for flowers.
SFX: Shake shake shake

03

Minamoto: That future will not change?
Minamoto: What do you mean!?

Minamoto: Is there no meaning in what we are doing!?
Minamoto: Are you saying we have no way of creating a happy future!?

04

SFX: Vyuhhhn!!
Feather: ...That's not it.
Feather: We were happy.

Feather: It was all thanks to you, Minamoto-han.
SFX: Smile

Minamoto: A-Aoi!?

05

Feather: I have enjoyed...
Feather: all the time since I met you at 10.
Feather: Thank you for everything you have done.
Feather: Well...

Feather: I guess it is currently what you are still doing.

Minamoto: Is this one of the personalities sleeping within Feather!?
Minamoto: I thought Kaoru was the primary one...
Minamoto: Feather...
Minamoto: You're an aggregation of espers, aren't you!?

Feather: Psychic powers are the power to overcome the laws of physics.
Feather: By expanding the Triple Boost, an existence was created that overcomes space-time.
Feather: That is Feather.

Feather: Our forms and wills...
SFX: Vyuhh
Feather: can be emulated based on our memories.

06

Feather: Wh-what are you doing, Aoi-chan!?
Feather: I-I don't have anything to talk to Minamoto-san about.
SFX: Vyuhn

Minamoto: Shiho...!?

SFX: Stretch
Feather: Your skin is more youthful than our Minamoto-san's...
Feather: but your hardheadedness is the same as ever!

Feather: What Feather meant...
Feather: is that it is pointless to search for the correct answer.
Feather: The future was created by all the people who live in this world.

07

Feather: Everyone tried to do the right thing...
Feather: and it ended up like that.
Feather: Even if you and Major Hyoubu try to overcome that...
Feather: you are still a portion of the world.

Feather: But we have come from outside the world...
Feather: so we may function as an outside element.

Feather: You just need to do the best you can, Minamoto-san.
Feather: We know that is what you did.
Minamoto: But!
Minamoto: There has to be something I can do to avoid that future!

Minamoto: Please tell me, Shiho!
Minamoto: What did I do wrong!?

Feather: Didn't we tell you not to search for the correct answer?
Feather: That's your answer.

08

Feather: You gave us a happy past.
Feather: But...
Feather: we will create the future now that we are adults.

Minamoto: You will...
Minamoto: now that you are adults?

SFX: Vyuhhn!!

09

Feather: Minamoto!!

10

Feather: It will be all right!
Feather: It will be all right!

Feather: I will protect...
Feather: both the future and you!

11

Minamoto: Hm?

12

SFX: Messy

Sakaki: Yo.
Fujiko: Welcome home.

13

Minamoto: What is with this mess!?
Sakaki: The kids ended up spending the night.
Sakaki: Except for Yuuri-chan who insisted on going home, so I dropped her off.
Fujiko: Middle school kids get really worked up over sex talk!
Minamoto: You shouldn't be discussing that kind of thing with middle schoolers!

Fujiko: Well?
Fujiko: How did things go?
SFX: Twitch

Fujiko: Feather...
Fujiko: is no longer with you.

Minamoto: She...
Minamoto: left.

Sakaki: She left?
Sakaki: Do you know her identity!?

14

Fujiko: Were we correct...
Fujiko: in our theory that she was created by the Children's Triple Boost in the future?
Fujiko: Was that Kaoru-chan?

Minamoto: Feather is an aggregation of multiple espers' wills and powers.
Minamoto: They accomplished this crazy phenomenon by maximizing the Triple Boost.
Minamoto: She can become Shiho or Aoi for short periods of time...
Minamoto: and it's possible other espers were involved, too.

Minamoto: But the one at the center...
Minamoto: is indeed Kaoru.

Fujiko: You can give me the full report later.
Fujiko: And of course...
Fujiko: you can't tell anyone.
Sakaki: I get it, I get it.

Sakaki: But I feel like you're hiding something from me.
Sakaki: For instance, there seemed to be...
Sakaki: some secret regarding the patient of today's operation.

15

Minamoto: Operation?
Fujiko: Nothing.
Fujiko: Nothing at all.

Fujiko: But what's with her?
Fujiko: If her memories have returned, she should have just relied on us.

Minamoto: She said anyone living in this time period would not be able to do it.
Minamoto: She seemed to be heading off to help with something Hyoubu is about to do.

Feather: If we are with him, the major might be able to defeat Black Phantom.
Feather: You won't see me for a while...
Feather: but wait for good news.

Feather: Oh...

Feather: This is from those girls.

16

Feather: The three of them inside me...
Feather: love you.

SFX: Zzz
SFX: Zzz

Aoi: I was happy.

17

Shiho: We will create the future now that we are adults.

Kaoru: I will protect...
Kaoru: both the future and you!

Minamoto: The future...hm?

18

SFX: Close
Box: And that is how...

Kaoru: ...Minamoto?

Text: The future draws nearer bit by bit.

Box: our second year of middle school began.
Box: To be continued in Issue 46
