Zettai Karen Children 171

js06 had done the translation for this but since I'm currently working on 171 onwards... I'll redo the translation myself with most of them based on js06's translation, hoping to let this manga more interesting. Hoping everyone can lead me a hand for a quick proofread before I go for scanlations. Thank you.

Sorry about not getting a chance to do your earlier translations; my workload for my own group piled up all of a sudden and I didn't have the time. Anyway, I'll try and work on these recent ones.

You're still making some grammatical errors, but the only one that you repeated was contracting (that is, shortening and joining with an apostrophe, e.g. "I've") the word "have" into the previous word when "have" was being used as a verb. To summarize the rule, if the sentence has a verb following "have" (for example, "I have done a lot."), then "have" is being used as a helping verb and can be contracted (for example, to "I've done a lot."). However, if "have" stands by itself (for example, "I have to do a lot of work today."), then don't contract it.

So basically, if "have" is by itself, don't contract. If it's followed by another verb, you probably can contract it.

Anyway, here're my corrections (in bold). I'm not doing much rewriting, mainly just fixing grammatical errors.

ミラージュ：…もう気がすんだでしょう？　お父様のところに帰りましょう　ファントム。

Page 9:
ファントム：あんただって外には出てみたかったんでしょ！？　戻ったら二度と薫ちゃんたちに会えないわよ！
Phantom: I’m sure you also want to see what it’s like to leave, right!? If I come back I won’t be able to meet with Kaoru-chan and them again!
ミラージュ：…でも、 あなたは言うことがコロコロ変わるし…
Mirage: …but, you keep changing your own words…
ミラージュ：自分で決めたルールも約束も守らないじゃない……
Mirage: You can’t even follow your own rules or keep your own promise……
ファントム：ルールとか約束とか、　もーウンザリ！！　すぐに次の「遊び」を―――！！
Phantom: I don’t care about rules or promises, I’m sick of them!! I have to prepare for the next “game”!!

- When the word "have" is used to convey a "must be done" force (not sure what the actual term is), it's not contracted with "I" or "we". That is, "I have to go to the store" is never written as "I've to go to the store." Now, what might throw you is that we can use the word "got" to also convey a "must be done" force, so a sentence like "I've got to go to the store" is perfectly fine. But in that case, "have" is acting as a helper verb, not the main verb.

ミラージュ：その「変な服」で？
Mirage: With those “stupid clothes”?
ファントム：いやああああ―――っ！！　新しいのを！！新しいのを早くううう―――っ！　薫ちゃんに気に入ってもらえるやつを―――！！
Phantom: NOOOOOO!! I need new ones!! I want new clothes nowwww! Something that even Kaoru-chan will like!!

Mirage: I’ll also help you out with the new outfit. So will you listen to what I have to say? We have to help our father after school…
ミラージュ：ほら、騒いだから、人形が起きちゃう。
