:::PAGE 17:::
Nanpa:
So // A few months ago, when Mimi transformed into Akabeko, I was a bit of a ways away form the station and put up a weak barrier // Akabeko's power is “life energy” / It works something like steam // When used, it scatters everywhere and takes months and years to come back together // In order for it to find a human, takes a hundred years or so // But when a pot is covered... / The steam has nowhere to go, and condenses back in the pot // So thanks to the barrier, Akabeko was transferred to the person closest to Mimi!


:::PAGE 18:::
Nanpa:
After that // We just had to wait for Akabeko's power to appear // Humans who have that power unconsciously draw pictures... // “Pictures of Prophecy”...those are proof of Akabeko's power!

Rokketsu:
Mimi perceived our appearance... // What did Sayu see?

Nanpa:
Ah, well // It was a wonderful future

Hino:
=That picture...was the future?= // =That monster?!=

Nanpa:
That was the shape of the true Akabeko...
