[/aside] I heard that he helped the police out with a case and it was solved. Meimi: Then show me that “Oh-so-great” reasoning of yours! Asuka Jr.: Haneoka, did you know our English teacher Yoshida fell of his bicycle and sprained his ankle? / Of course his bicycle broke too. SFX: Fu fu fu (laughter) Outside bubble: Your nose is bleeding. Asuka Jr.: Plus it’s three days before getting his low salary. Considering these awful conditions…
Page 8 Asuka Jr.: We’ll definitely have a pop quiz on our next class!! SFX: Ha ha ha Boys: Wow. Seira: In short, Mr. Yoshida is in a bad mood! <3 Meimi: Is this what you call reasoning? Meimi: So what’s the scope of the homework? Arrow: Quite serious. Asuka Jr: I dunno. Asuka Jr.: How would I know Yoshida’s choice of english words? SFX: Sticks tongue out. Meimi: Don’t stop me, Seira! Nun: “Don’t stop?” SFX: Geh! Nun: In short, you’d like to continue fighting. Seira: That’s what they’re saying, Sister. Nun: Why, thank you, Mimori Seira.

Page 12 Seira: This church is in the school’s premises / but anyone can come in… Meimi: That’s not what I meant. / I was just wondering what kind of help that little girl was looking for! // You know, don’t you? After all, listening to the people after school is part of your training. Seira: … That child’s grandfather is a jewelry appraiser. Seira: One day, he was asked to appraise a sapphire called the “Blue Meteor…” Meimi: I know that! It’s the mansion on Chuou Street, right? Meimi: His name is Maidou or Haidou... Seira: It's Kaidou-san. // Anyway, he actually brought in// two "Blue Meteor" gems.
Page 13 SFX: Hmm… Meimi: Which means? Seira: There’s only one real sapphire but Kaidou-san got an imitation made for security purposes. // But then… SFX: Nods Seira: Even the owner couldn’t tell them apart. Meimi: Even God couldn’t solve that. Seira: The appraiser is the one who needs help. It’s fine that he appraised it / but on a sudden impulse… // He returned the fake one to the owner.
Page 14 Seira: Right now, he's deeply regretting his actions. / He wants to return it to the owner… / But he can’t just openly return it. // That girl couldn’t bear looking at her grandfather anymore that’s why she came here.

Seira: It’ll definitely come in handy.
Page 19 Meimi: May God’s divine protection Seira: be upon us… Security: Thank you for waiting, we’re security. Kaidou-san: This way please. // That’s the “Blue Meteor.”

I value your brains and your zeal towards the phantom thief, //that’s why I asked for a special favor to get you here. // That criminal Saint Tail will definitely // steal this gem…! SFX: Smoothly Asuka Jr.: Why are you so certain? / Did you get it through illegal means? Kaidou-san: What was that? // How rude! Asuka Jr.: She might be a thief…
Page 22 Asuka Jr.: But as far as I know, her thievery always has a good reason behind it. / Please don’t conclude that she’s a criminal. Meimi: Eh?// At school he’s… Flashback: That’s blasphemy against God. Meimi: Huh? // What a weird guy! // I won’t worry about him. SFX: Puff Meimi: All right. // Stars from the sky, please put your hands together for me. [aside]No one does anyway.[/aside]
